I was impressed by the wonderfully beautiful sandbar.
During snorkeling, I was able to see many beautiful fish and it was fun to feed them.
The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious, making it a highly satisfying tour.

素晴らしくきれいなサンドバーで感動しました。
シュノーケリングでは、きれいな魚を沢山見ることができ、餌付けもできて楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーも大変おいしく、満足度の高い良いツアーでした。

It was our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon and our first experience with parasailing. We were quite anxious when our pickup didn't arrive even after the scheduled time, but we waited patiently, and eventually, they came 17 minutes late. (It seemed that everyone else except us was a foreign guest, and they probably weren't at the meeting point on time.)

Neither the driver nor the staff at the parasailing check-in spoke much Japanese, so we struggled a bit with our zero English skills, but the boat staff spoke a little Japanese and were friendly.

I thought they would take photos for us and we could buy the data later, but if I hadn't said anything, we wouldn't have had any photos taken. So, if you want pictures, it's better to confirm in advance.

The parasailing itself was very stable and not scary at all! It was a luxurious time where we could see the city and beach of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. The boat captain was a young man who successfully fulfilled our request for a "little splashdown," and he was skilled! Another male staff member was also very pleasant.

It probably depends on the sea conditions, but I didn't mind the boat's rocking at all, and I enjoyed the view from the boat during the waiting time. This is an activity I would love to experience again.

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイ、初めてのパラセーリング 体験でした。
ピックアップ時間を過ぎてもお迎えが来ず、かなりヒヤヒヤしましたが じっとその場で待ち、結局17分オーバーで無事来てもらえました。（私たち夫婦以外は全員外国人客で、どうやらピックアップ時間に集合場所に出てなかった様子）
ドライバーさんも、パラセーリング 受付のスタッフも、日本語はほぼ通じなかったので 英語力ゼロの私達は少し苦労しましたが、ボートのスタッフさんたちは少し日本語で話してくれましたし 気さくに接してくれました。
写真撮影は、勝手にしてくれて後でお金を払えばデータが買えると思っていて、特に何も言わなかったら 撮影してもらえてなかったので 写真が欲しい方は 事前に確認したほうが良いです。
パラセーリング 自体は、とても安定感があって全く怖くなかったです！ワイキキの街やビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望できる、贅沢な時間でした♪
ボートのキャプテンは若い男性でしたが 「少しだけ着水」を見事希望通り叶えてくれましたし、上手でしたよ！もう一人の男性スタッフも感じ良かったです。
海のコンディションによるんでしょうが、ボートの揺れも気にならず、待機時間も船上からの眺めを満喫できて楽しかったです。
また体験したいアクティビティです。

There were only my husband and I who were Japanese, and the rest were all foreigners, but the staff supported us with their limited Japanese, which was very reassuring.
However, there was a group that got seasick, so they temporarily returned to the shore.
The catamaran sailing was pleasant and I highly recommend it; the snorkeling equipment was well-stocked, and they checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay.
I would like to use this service again, but I regret not knowing the typical tip amount and think I may have given too little.

日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人ばかりでしたがスタッフは片言の日本語でフォローしてくれて、とても安心でした。
ただ船酔いしたグループがいたので、途中一旦もどり下船していました。
カタマランのセーリングは気持ちよくおすすめです、シュノーケル機材も充実していて何度も大丈夫か？と聞いてくれます。
また利用したいです、最後のチップの相場が分からなくて少なかったかなと、後悔しています。

There are few activities that small children can do, and this place has a calm atmosphere with fewer people. The staff was kind, and we were able to enjoy it as a family. Even those who don't ride can walk alongside, allowing for photos during the ride. It became a wonderful memory, spending time exclusively as a family rather than in a group like at places such as Kualoa Ranch.

小さな子供ができる数少ないアクティビティで人も少なくゆっくりとした雰囲気でスタッフの方も優しくて家族で楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬しない方も歩いて付き添う事が出来るので乗馬中の写真なども撮ることができます。クアロアランチのように団体で、ではなく家族オンリーの時間を過ごす事ができる素敵な思い出になりました。

I took The Bus to Kualoa Ranch. I had researched it in Japan, but the bus routes had changed, and the bus I intended to take was no longer available, which made me anxious. I figured out that I needed to take The Bus number 60 and managed to get on, but I was worried about whether I would make it on time. The meeting was at 8:30 and the activity started at 9:30, but since the bus was delayed, I ended up arriving after 9. I hurried to the reception, but I was relieved to find that there were no issues and I could participate in the activity. My horse was very capable and calm. Since I have some experience with horseback riding, I wished I could have ridden a slightly more spirited horse. However, it felt wonderful to ride through the great outdoors.

クアロアランチまではThe Busで向かいました。
日本で調べてから行ったのですが、バスのルートが変わっていて乗るつもりだったバスがなくなっててあわてました。
TheBus60番ということが分かり無事に乗って向かいましたが間に合うか心配。
8時半集合の9時半開始とのことだったのですがバスが遅れていることもあり結局9時過ぎになってしまいました。
急いで受付に行ったのですが何の問題もなくアクティビティに参加でき、ほっとしました。
私の馬はとても優秀でおとなしかったです。乗馬をかじったことのある私にはもう少しやんちゃな馬に乗りたかったかな。
でも大自然の中を馬に乗ってお散歩するのはとても気持ち良かったです。

The weather was wonderful, and I was very moved to see a sandbar that was even more beautiful than I had imagined! The water depth in the shallow areas was only up to my ankles, so it was truly like the sandbars I’ve seen on TV! The staff were lively and enthusiastic, which made me and everyone else laugh throughout the experience, leaving a lasting impression.

I recommend taking a good look with your own eyes, as it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to capture in photos!

Since it’s a plan for a large group (about 20 to 30 people), it’s understandable that those who are not confident in snorkeling or are first-timers may not receive personal guidance at a leisurely pace. We had some experience, so we were able to snorkel without any issues, but since everyone swims freely, there was some variation in whether or not people got to see sea turtles. (On this day, it seemed that about half of the participants were able to see them.) Even if you don’t see sea turtles, you can still enjoy seeing other beautiful fish, so I think it’s definitely enjoyable.

For those who really want to snorkel but lack confidence, I recommend looking into different plans.

お天気にも恵まれ、想像以上に綺麗なサンドバーが見られたのでとても感動しました！
浅い所での水深はくるぶし上くらいまでしかなかったので、まさにテレビで見たようなサンドバーでした！
スタッフの方も元気に盛り上げて下さるので、彼を含め私も終始笑っていた事が印象的に残っています。
写真ではなかなかうまく写りきらない程綺麗だと思うのでしっかり目に焼き付ける事をお勧めします！

人数が多いプランなので仕方ないのですが(2〜30人くらい？)シュノーケリングに自信が無い方や初めての方はなかなかゆっくりと個人的指導は受けられないかと思います。
私たちは経験があったので難なくシュノーケリングはできましたが、全員がそれぞれ自由にシュノーケリングで泳ぐのでウミガメが見られるかどうかにばらつきはありました。
(この日は半数くらいの方は見られたようです。)
ウミガメが見られなくても他の魚等は綺麗に見られるので十分楽しめるとは思います(^^)

シュノーケリングは絶対にしたいけど自信がない方は、違うプラン等を見てみる事をお勧めします。

Barely arrived on spot, shark fins started to show around our boat. That alone was already impressive and exciting!
While in the cage, you get to admire them gracefully swim around and under the cage... beauty!

Few tips:

- Waterproof phone pouch with wrist lanyard recommended to take underwater videos, we're so glad we had one! Just make sure not to live the whole experience through your phone ;)

- Even if you're not sea/motion sick, I suggest you have a ginger chew or two (Chimes brand are good). This will help settle your stomach as it can get bumpy under there.

Big thanks to our guides, very chill and knowledgeable!

PS: we also got to see dolphins splashing and following our boat on the way back, that was also priceless!

The view is amazing. I participated with a digital camera in hand, and although I had a foot strap, the camera was fine. It seems you can choose between no strap, waist, or foot options. When I said "a little," it was about the foot strap. Quite a few people were paragliding while holding their smartphones around their necks or selfie sticks. They won't take responsibility if you fall, though.

We flew in the morning, and the weather was wonderful. We were able to return to Ohana Waikiki Malia Hotel by 9:30.

A couple from California who rode with us joked, "Terrace House?" I couldn't respond well and just laughed. I guess it's famous because Netflix is airing Terrace House.

素晴らしい眺めです。デジカメを手にひもを巻き参加。足じゃぽんありでしたが、カメラは大丈夫でした。
じゃぽんは、なしか、腰までとか足とか選べるようです。
「ちょっと」というと、足じゃぽんくらいでした。結構みんな首からかけたスマホや、自撮り棒カメラもったまま、パラセーリングしてました。落ちても責任はとってもらえませんが。

午前中飛びましたが、素晴らしい天気。
9時半にはオハナワイキキマリアホテルに戻れました。

同乗したカリフォルニアからきたカップルに
「テラスハウス？」と、ボケられました。うまくかえせず笑
ネットフリックスが、テラスハウスをやっているからか有名なのですね。

Billy, our guide, was very fun and amazing. He made sure to pay attention to all the participants while mixing in jokes. You can rent a car and go on your own, but the explanations about Hawaii's plants and history made it even more enjoyable. The Manoa Falls were refreshing, but I think one of the best parts of this tour is being able to eat an organic lunch at Kapiolani Park.

ガイドのビリーさんがとても楽しくて最高でした。ジョークを交えながら、すべての参加客に気を使ってくれていました。個人でレンタカーを借りて行くこともできますが、ハワイの植物のことや歴史の事など、説明があったのでより一層楽しめました。マノアの滝も気持ち良かったですが、カピオラニ公園でオーガニックのお弁当を食べれるのも、このツアーの良いところだと思います。

The zipline tour was a great way to spend out and get out of Waikiki. The guides were professional and experienced, making us feel comfortable and at ease. By the end, we wished there were more than 7 ziplines! Highly recommended!

Outstanding service. This was a once in a lifetime experience for us. History is awesome.

We used this for our honeymoon trip, and the staff's service was wonderful! When we took the lesson, there were only four of us, including my husband and me, so it was almost a one-on-one lesson, and we were able to stand on the board right away! We had plenty of time, more than we could have asked for, and we had a meaningful experience!

ハネムーン旅行で利用したのですが、
とにかく、スタッフさんの対応が素敵でした！！
私達がレッスンを受けた時は少人数で私達、夫婦含め4人だったのですが、ほぼワンツーマンでのレッスンで、すぐにボードの上に立つ事ができました！！
時間も、これ以上できないくらいまでたっぷりあり、有意義な時間を過ごせました！

It was great that the guide entertained us and explained how the sandbar was formed.

However, when I stood on the sandbar and looked around, I was surprised to find it was just like, "Oh, so this is what it looks like." I felt that it would be better to see it from above, like in a helicopter, but I had expected that, and I wanted to land on the sandbar at least once.

ガイドさんが楽しませてくれて、サンドバーの作られ方とか説明とかも聞けて良かったです。

でもサンドバーはその上に立って見ると、「ふーん、こんな感じなんだ」って言う感じだったのが意外だった。ヘリとかで上から見るのが良いものなのだと感じたけれど、予想はしていたし、一度はサンドバーに上陸してみたかったから

This was my second time participating. Both times, the water level was about knee-high, but I was aware of that since I checked the tide information on this page from VELTRA. My husband was seriously playing volleyball at the sandbar, haha. Snorkeling was a battle against the fear of entering the ocean without being able to touch the bottom after turning 50, but once I saw the beauty underwater, I truly understood the high ratings in the reviews. People over 50 (and even older) can enjoy this too!

2度目の参加でした。
2回とも膝上くらいの水位でしたが、それはきちんと潮の満ち引き情報をVELTRAさんのこのページで確認していたので、承知の上でした。
夫はサンドバーでバレーボールをガチでやっていました笑
シュノーケリングは、50を過ぎて足がつかない海に入る恐怖との戦いでしたが、いざ海の中を見ると感動的な美しさで、レビューの高さを実感しました。
50オーバーの人も（いやもっと上の人もいました）楽しめますよ！

The weather was great, and the staff were amazing. The participants were all Japanese and seemed a bit reserved, but they really got into the spirit! The water was very clear, and it was a miraculous day where I got to see sea turtles, dolphins, and even seals! The scenery I saw that day is still etched in my mind; it was such a wonderful memory!

お天気も良く、スタッフの皆さんも最高でした。参加者は日本人ばかりで、大人しい様子でしたが、盛り上げてくださりました！
透明度も高く、ウミガメにもイルカにも、そしてアザラシにも会えるという奇跡の日！！
その日に見た景色は
今でも脳裏に焼きついて離れないほど
素敵な思い出です！

I was expecting it to be a bit clearer, so I was somewhat disappointed, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience on a submarine.

もう少し鮮明に見えると、思っていたので少々期待はずれのところがありましたが、初めての潜水艦堪能できました。

The venue is on the rooftop of the 6th floor, and every visitor is given a fresh flower lei, which you can take back to Japan. Upon entry, you can take commemorative photos with the dancers, and during the show, seats are sold for $50. Once seated, the buffet starts in order of table rank, and then the show begins. There was a sudden downpour, but the venue staff, who were older gentlemen, distributed raincoats to everyone. The content of the show was stunning, with a different level of excitement compared to Spa Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima Prefecture.

6階屋上が会場で、来場者の全ての方に生花レイをかけてくれて、日本に持ち帰えることも出来ました。
入場するとダンサーの方と記念撮影、ショーの最中に50ドルで席まで販売してきます。
着席するとテーブルランク順にブュッフェスタート、そーするとショーもスタートします。
途中、スコールがありましたが、会場スタッフのおじいちゃん達が一人ひとりにカッパを配ってました。
ショーの内容は圧巻、福島県のスパリゾートハワイアンズとは違った迫力がありました。

The crew was really attentive to the guests, and I thought it was impressive how they managed everything on the ship despite the challenges.

I couldn't see any sea turtles, so I definitely want to see them next time I come.

クルーの皆さんがすごくお客さんの事を見ていて、船の上で大変なのにすごいなと思って見ていました。

ウミガメが見れなかったので、次来た時は是非見たいです。

Excellent food and entertainment. The show was outstanding and the buffet style was great to be able to try several new foods

It was very beautiful, and I was able to observe the seabed slowly. Along the way, I also saw sea turtles and many fish, which made me satisfied.

The boat to the submarine was very rocky, and I ended up feeling seasick. On the way back, we stopped on the water for about 10 minutes before heading to the port for photo sales, which made me feel sick again.

Overall, I was satisfied with the experience that I wouldn't normally have.

とてもきれいでゆっくりと海底を観察できました。
途中ウミガメやたくさんの魚も見ることができ、満足です。

潜水艦までの船がとても揺れたため船酔いをしてしましました。
帰りの船で写真の販売の為、港へ向けて出発するのに10分前後海上で
停船したため酔いました。

総合的に普段できない体験ができ満足です。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I challenged myself to try surfing for the first time! I decided to join the tour after reading the reviews. Since I wasn't sure about the location of the lesson, I opted for the pickup service, but I think I could go there on my own next time. Although the lesson wasn't in Japanese, there was someone who could instruct in Japanese! Moreover, it was a surprising reunion with someone I had met multiple times in the past at a certain place. I realized that it required more physical strength than I had imagined. I haven't mastered surfing completely, so I would like to participate in this tour again when I have the chance. Even as a beginner, they provide proper instruction, so I was able to stand up a few times. It was fun!

今まで何度もハワイへ行っていますが、今回、初サーフィンに挑戦！！こちらの口こみをみて、ツアー参加を決めました。
レッスン場所の位置がわからなかったので、送迎ありにしましたが、次回参加するときは自分達で行けると思う場所にありました。日本語レッスンにはしていませんでしたが、日本語で指導していただける方！！しかも、とある所で過去に何回もお会いしている方で、ビックリの再会でした。想像していたより、体力を使うことがわかりました。全部サーフィンをマスターしたわけではないので、また機会をみて、このツアーに参加したいと思います。確かに初めてでも、ちゃんと指導してくれるので、何回かは、立てます。楽しかったです。

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the snorkel catamaran. The boat crew was not only incredibly informative on use of equipment, but ensured first time
Snorkelers like ourselves had adequate support. They were also pretty comical as well! Seeing the sea turtles was awesome! One crew member even dove down to to the reef to retrieve my dropped cell phone! I had so many priceless photos and memories from my Dad’s funeral on the phone, that I would not have been able to replace them. Thank you for the incredible experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes, I think. I was horseback riding. I was able to have a dynamic and refreshing ride while walking along the sea of the North Shore. However, the course and the order of walking are predetermined, so it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who are experienced in horseback riding. Nevertheless, you can still ride at breathtaking viewpoints.

十分過ぎるほど堪能しました。1時間15分くらいかな？乗馬してました。ノースショアの海の横を歩きながらダイナミックでさわやかな乗馬が出来ました。どうしても決められたコース、歩く順番も決められてるので、乗馬慣れしている方には物足りないかもしれません。ですがそれにも負けない、絶景ポイントで乗馬出来ますよ。

Great crew, fantastic weather, awesome marine life all and all fantastic trip

There's no need to worry about seasickness! Since we're in the bay, it doesn't rock at all.

The sandbar was cloudy at first, but it cleared up along the way and was absolutely beautiful.

After that, we were able to see several sea turtles during the turtle watching!

Snorkeling was also no problem for beginners! (You can practice at the sandbar.)

The hamburgers for lunch are delicious, so I highly recommend them!

船酔いの心配はありません！
湾の中なので全然揺れません。

サンドバーは曇りでしたが途中で晴れてめっちゃきれいでした。

そのあと、ウミガメウォッチでは数匹見ることができました！

シュノーケリングも初心者でも問題なくでしました！
（サンドバーで練習ができます）

お昼のハンバーガーも美味しいのでおすすめです！

The lecture is given in Japanese at the beginning, so there are no issues with understanding how to do it.

You can't really move the scooter by yourself, but you can see the fish up close!

I was able to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle!

However, while the scooter part is fine, you need to wait on the boat for about an hour, which can make you quite seasick, haha.

If your turn for the scooter is later, I think the seasickness will go away by then.

Since there is air around your head, you can dive without stress, which is a new sensation.

日本語で最初にレクチャーしてくれるのでやり方は問題ないです。

スクーターはあまり自分で動かせませんが、魚たちを間近で見ることができます！

ウミガメをちらっとみれました！

ただ、スクーター中はいいのですが、船の上で1時間くらい待つ必要があるのでだいぶ酔います笑

スクーターの順番が後ならそこで酔いはなくなると思います。

頭の周りが空気なので、ストレスなくダイビングできるので新感覚です。

The tour starts efficiently and ends early in the morning, allowing plenty of time afterward.

Since it's a small boat, there can be some rocking, so taking motion sickness medication is essential, but once you're flying, you won't notice it.

They also take photos for $30. Since they use a DSLR, the pictures come out very beautifully, so I highly recommend it!

手際よくツアーが始まり、終わりも朝早くに終わるのでその後の時間もたっぷりととれます。

小型船なので、揺れもありますので船酔い止めは必須ですが、飛んでしまえば気になりません。

写真も30$で撮ってくれます。一眼レフなので、大変きれいに撮ってもらえるのでおすすめです！

This is a must do adventure, and well worth the price. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised at the 1-to-1 ratio of divers to BOBs in the water. They really make sure everyone is comfortable in the BOBs and are doing okay throughout the dive. The 1 hour of free time is basically during the time others are in the BOBs. They provide snorkeling equipment if you want to hop in the water during that time. We had a gray and windy day, so it was quite cool on the boat during the off time. So if your weather is not the best, consider bringing a windbreaker.

I couldn't get a reservation in the morning, but I was able to book one starting at 2 PM. It took just over an hour to arrive from Honolulu. When I went to the reception, I was instructed to wait around until 3 PM.

Before 3 PM, we watched a video for the explanation. Then we quickly started horseback riding. There were six of us in three groups, and we were the only Japanese. An American woman gave the instructions, and we set off. We crossed hills, passed the filming locations of Jurassic Park and King Kong, and went further to the foot of a higher mountain. The ocean was beautiful.

We rode for a solid two hours, and my legs started to hurt, but it was fun. The horses were well-trained, and the staff were kind; it was okay even if you couldn't speak English. It seems reservations are hard to come by, so I recommend booking early. I would like to go again next year.

午前中の予約がとれず午後１４時からとれました。ホノルルから１時間あまりで到着。受付に行くと15時までそこらで待ってなさいとの指示。
15時前に行くとビデオで説明。早速乗馬。6名３グループ日本人は我々だけでしたが、アメリカ人の女性が指示して出発。岡を超え、ジュラシックパークやキングコングの映画ロケ地をこえ、さらに高い山の麓へ。海がきれいだった。
２時間みっちり乗馬し、足が痛くなったけど、楽しかった。馬はよく調教されており、職員も優しく、英語話せなくてもOK。予約が取りにくいようで早めの予約お勧めします。また来年でも行きたい。

Everyone except us was from the West! I had high expectations after reading the reviews, but it wasn't simple English; it was quite advanced. I managed with the Japanese explanations on the consent form and the sign for how to slide. I think it would be difficult if trouble arises and you don't have the English skills to explain yourself.

The zip line offers a sense of freedom and the thrill of speed! You can see the ocean from the first two lines. Most of the area is a farm, so there's a lot of greenery. There are two safety harnesses, and they use very high ones with locks, so I felt safe sliding. The upside-down part was on the last line, and I mostly slid normally!

Westerners tend to be heavier, but I think people under 50 kg need to lift their legs to make it through most of the lines. If you stop midway or bounce back, it uses up the staff's effort.

In addition to the zip line, there are experiences like a suspension bridge and a vertical drop. There was also a part where you have to pull yourself up with just your arms, but that was very tiring; a woman from a foreign couple became grumpy (laughs).

I dropped my phone at the end, but luckily, the staff witnessed where it fell and found it unharmed. Tipping is not particularly required, but since they found my phone, I gave them a tip.

The staff will take care of your belongings! There was a locker for valuables, but I wasn't guided to it. For my belongings, there were no numbers; I just communicated the color, and it was retrieved with that exchange. The security is quite low.

Personally, I think it was below my expectations? I might have had high hopes from reading too many reviews.

自分達以外みんな欧米人でした！クチコミ読んで期待を抱いていましたが、簡単な英語とかではなくバリバリの英語です。承諾書と滑り方の看板の日本語の説明でなんとかと言った感じでした。トラブルが起きたときなど、自分のことを説明できる英語力がないと困ると思います。
ジップラインは開放感と速さのスリルを味わえます！景色も1.2本は先に海が見えたりします。ほとんどは農園なので緑が広がります。安全帯も2本あり、ロック付きのとても高いものを使っていて安心して滑ることができました。逆さまになるのは最後の方の1本で、ほとんど普通に滑りました！
欧米の方は体重がありますが、多分50キロ以下の人はほとんどの本数足を上げて滑らないと最後まで行けません。途中で止まったり、反動で帰ってしまうとスタッフの労力を使ってしまうことになります。
ジップラインだけでなく吊り橋や垂直にゆっくり落ちる体験もあります。自分の腕だけで上に上がるのもありましたが、これは非常に疲れました、外人のカップルの女の人は不機嫌になっていました(笑)
最後に携帯を落としてしまいましたが、スタッフが落ちたところを目撃してくれていて幸運にも無傷で発見してもらえました。チップは特段要求されませんが携帯を見つけてもらったので払いました。
荷物はスタッフが預かってくれます！貴重品ロッカーはあったけど案内されませんでした。荷物は番号とかなくて、何色か伝えて、これ？と言ったやりとりでとってもらう感じです。セキュリティ一は低いです。
個人的には期待より下だったかな？口コミを読みすぎて期待が大きかったのかもしれません。
