Oahu
This time, at 48 years old, I tried surfing for the first time in my life. At first, I was only worried about whether I could do it, but once I tried, it was super fun. I think I'm going to get hooked! I made my debut as a dad surfer.
今回48歳にして人生初めてサーフィンしました。
初めは出来るかな？っていう不安しかありませんでしたが、やってみたらチョー楽しかったです。
はまりそうです！親父サーファーデビューとなりました。

We were very disappointed with this tour as it's nothing like the video on their ad. First of all the vessels are mechanically disabled so you don't get to operate them; instead you get pushed around by divers. Also the video shows several people in the water at the same time which is also not true. They only had 3 bubbles taking groups of 3 down at a time and when you have 25 people on the tour, you end up spending most of the day waiting around for them to finish. They did offer some fins and snorkels but there weren't nearly enough of them to accomodate everyone that were waiting. I wouldn't recommend this tour, you can find cheaper boat or snorkeling tours for a fraction of the coast. It was kind of like renting a bike where you're not allowed to use the pedals or the handles and someone just pushes you around instead.
I was very relieved to be picked up at the hotel on time, and it became a wonderful memory as we exchanged cameras with the other members of our group and took pictures of each other. The staff were also very enthusiastic! We did the 90m and were completely satisfied! When we arrived at the hotel with the families in our group, everyone smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" as we parted ways, and I felt fortunate to have such a great group. I also think I want to challenge myself to the 150m next time!
時間通りにホテルに迎えに来てもらえとても安心し、同じグループになった方々とカメラを交換しお互い取り合ったり係の方々もとてもテンションが高く最高の思い出になりました！私達は90mでしたが十分満足でした！同じグループになった家族の方々とホテルに着いた時には、お疲れ様でした〜とみんな笑顔で解散してグループにもめぐまれたなと思います！次は150mにも挑戦したいな！とも思います♪

We arrived early by rental car, and the journey was smooth, allowing us to arrive relatively quickly. The check-in process was handled by staff who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations. Since we arrived early, I inquired about other activities, but they were fully booked.
After watching the DVD several times, they selected horses based on each person's physique. The horses were well-trained and calm, and my 10-year-old daughter quickly got used to riding. We enjoyed the scenery while being grateful for the patient and strong horses with their big, round eyes. However, since the horses occasionally stumbled, it’s better to use both hands firmly.
Despite the cloudy weather and occasional light rain, there were muddy spots on the path that slowed the horses down, making the ride take over two hours, but it passed in no time and was very enjoyable. We went as a family of five, and I believe this will be a memorable page in our Hawaii experience. I was excited to be in a precious place that was only accessible to royalty, but the occasional sound of helicopters and four-wheeled buggies felt out of place, which was a bit disappointing.
On the way back in the afternoon, you can return via either Kahuku or Haleiwa, so I recommend taking your time and going by rental car.
早めにレンタカーで行きましたが、道中もスムーズで割と早く到着しました。
チェックインも日本語のできるスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれました。
早く到着したので他のアクティビティを聞いたのですが、予約で満杯。
DVDを何度も見たあとに、各々の体格に合わせて馬を選定してくれます。
馬がしっかり調教されていておとなしく、10歳の娘もすぐに慣れました。
つぶらな瞳ながら我慢強く力強い馬たちに感謝しながら景色を堪能しました。
しかし、馬もたまに躓くので、しっかり両手を使っていたほうが良いです。
曇天で時に小雨の降る中で、道がぬかるんでいる場所があり馬の歩みが遅く、
2時間以上かかりましたが、あっという間に過ぎ大変良かったです。
家族5人で行きましたが、ハワイの思い出に残る１ページになると思います。
王族しか入れなかった貴重な場所ということでテンションが上がりましたが
たまにヘリの音と四輪バギーは雰囲気に場違いなようでそこは残念でした。
帰りの午後はカフク、ハレイワ経由でもカイルア経由でも帰れますので、
やはり、時間に余裕をもってレンタカーで行くのがおすすめです。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and felt anxious even after signing up. However, there were no problems at all. The safety measures were excellent. Moreover, for the vertical rope climb, which I was most worried about, I could ask for help and received assistance. The log crossing, which I had previously fallen from in a Japanese athletic course, was also very safe. Even when it swayed, I was able to cross it with enjoyment. Above all, the zip line in the great outdoors was exhilarating! In the end, I even did a reverse hands-free ride, returning to my childhood and having a blast. I returned home fully satisfied, having enjoyed the sea, greenery, and blue sky.
体力に自信がなくて、申し込んだものの不安でした。しかし、全く問題ありませんでした。安全対策ばっちりでした。さらに一番不安だった、垂直のロープのぼり？も手伝いを頼めば、手伝っていただけます。日本のアスレチックで落ちた経験のある丸太渡り？もとっても安全。揺らされても楽しくわたれました。何よりジップラインは大自然の中、気分爽快！最後には、逆さ手放しまでして童心に返り、思う存分楽しむことができました。海・緑・青い空を満喫して帰ってきました。

Swimming with dolphins was refreshing and made me feel alive. The weather is just a matter of luck. The sea park was a bit lacking. The bird cage was the best part. The tour bus had the air conditioning set too cold, and it was chilly.
イルカと泳ぐのは新鮮で良かったと言うか命を感じました。
天気は運しかないですね。
シーパークは物足りないです。鳥のケージが一番良かったです。
ツアーのバスは冷房が利きすぎて寒かったです。

It was my first experience, and it felt absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to those who are not sick. The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean made me feel like a bird—it's an exaggeration, but it felt like flying in the sky.
初めての試みでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。病気がない方には是非オススメです。ワイキキビーチが海から眺められて鳥になった気分とは大げさですが空を飛ぶ感じです。

It was good my friends and I really enjoyed it. The view was breathtaking & the crew on board were so friendly and helpful. I am a picky eater so the food was alright to me however my friends really enjoyed it. If prone to seasickness, I recommend you take medication before getting onto the boat.
I went on this cruise with my friends as we all met in Hawaii for a little vacation. This dinner cruise was wonderful. We got to see the sunset and the food was delicious however we were just happy to be surrounded by great company and the view. If driving out keep in mind the traffic as it will get busy.
The sandbar had a beautiful view that I had never seen before. I was able to see sea turtles, and the drink service on the boat was great.
サンドバーは今まで見たことのない景色でとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも見ることができ、船内のドリンクサービスも良かったです。

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.
もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.
In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.
On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.
天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。
実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. We also appreciate your valuable feedback.
この度は、ツアーへのご参加ありがとうございます。また貴重なご感想もありがとうございました。

I participated in the four-wheeler buggy and zip line experience. Before the zip line, I had a very scary impression and was worried about whether I could do it, but the staff were very kind in helping me put on the harness and provided great support, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy it! My husband really enjoyed the buggy ride, but there was more sand dust than I expected, so I think it would be better for women to have something to cover their hair. Also, I would have liked a Japanese guide just for the important things to pay attention to. Above all, the most thrilling part was the transportation driving.
四輪バギー&ジップラインに参加しました。
ジップラインは体験前とても怖い印象で、やれるか不安でしたが、スタッフがとても丁寧に危惧を装着してくれてり、やりやすくフォローしてくれたりととても安心して楽しめました！
バギーは主人がとても楽しんでいましたが、思ったより砂ホコリが凄く、女性は髪の毛を覆えるものがあった方が良いかと思います。また、特に注意すべき事だけでも日本語ガイドがほしかったです。
何よりスリリングだったのは、送迎の運転でした。

Our family enjoyed the sunset dinner cruise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t have much of a sunset, but like others mentioned you just had to get up and go out on the deck as they don’t make any announcement. The food was okay. Service was great. The entertainment was good as well. But i’m not sure It was worth the money so I probably wouldn’t do it again.
After an hour on the bus, we arrived. I couldn't keep my backpack with me, so I stored it in a locker and was ready to go. We watched a DVD with riding instructions, and then it was time for the 2-hour tour. Everything was in English, and we didn't stop for photos, even at the photo points. If you're hoping to take pictures while riding, this might not be suitable, as the camera couldn't focus. If there had been Japanese guidance through the intercom, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.
1時間バスに揺られた到着。後ろリュックはダメでロッカーに預けて準備OK。
乗馬の注意事項DVD見て、いよいよ2時間ツアーへ
すべて英語で記念撮影もストップせず、写真ポイントでも止まる事なく、素通り、馬に乗っている為カメラのピントが合わず記念撮影を撮りたい方には不向きです。
インカムで日本語案内が有れば、もう少し楽しめたのカナ？

I participated with a friend. We were picked up by car from the hotel and gathered at the office near the beach for a short lecture while watching a video, then headed to the beach for a surfing experience. There are lockers available for personal belongings. When I asked the staff if there was a security box, they lent me a key that could be attached to the locker. I put my passport and wallet there without any issues.
I brought a rash guard just in case, but there were plenty available for rent, and my friend borrowed one without any problems. I was worried about not understanding English, but they provided an instructor who spoke Japanese, so there were no language issues.
There were five people in the group, and some participants were there alone. Once we got into the water to start surfing, it was a cycle of getting on the surfboard, being swept close to the shore, paddling out, and getting back on the board, so I think being alone wouldn’t be a problem.
As others have mentioned, you can generally ride the waves. Let's try to enjoy as much as we can within the time! One thing to be cautious about is the rocks and coral under the water. I injured my foot relatively early on, but I continued without worrying too much.
Even if you get hurt, there are first aid supplies at the office, and I used them as well. This became my best memory of my stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much!
友達と2人で参加しました。
ホテルに車で迎えに来てもらい、ビーチ近くの事務所に集まり、動画を見ながら短時間の講習、ビーチに行ってサーフィン体験という流れです。
私物はロッカーがあり、入れられます。
事務所の方に、セキュリティボックスはあるか聞くと、鍵を貸してもらえ、ロッカーに取り付けられます。パスポートや財布はそこに入れ、問題ありませんでした。
ラッシュガードは念のため買って行きましたが、貸し出し用のものがたくさんあり、友達はふつうに借りていました。
英語がわからず不安でしたが、日本語が話せるインストラクターの方をわざわざつけていただき、言葉の問題はありませんでした。
グループは5人で、1人で参加している方もいました。実際、海に出てサーフィンに乗り出すと、サーフィン乗る→岸付近に流される→沖までパドリング→サーフィン乗るの繰り返しなので、1人でも気にならないと思います。
あとは他の方の体験にあるように、基本的に乗れます。時間内で出来るだけトライして楽しみましょう^_^
一点だけ、海面下にある、岩やサンゴには気をつけましょう。私も足を割と序盤に怪我しました。気にせず続けましたが。
怪我しても応急処置用品は事務所にあり、私も使わせてもらいました。
ハワイ滞在で一番の思い出になりました^_^
ありがとうございました！

The kids are experiencing Hawaii for the first time! They were really excited about the first attraction. It was just cold! I think it would be better if there were more freedom with taking photos. I wasn't sure if we could take our own or if it was part of the local service. Well, at least the kids had a great time, so that's good!
子供たちは始めてのハワイ❗️一発目のアトラクションでして、とても興奮していました。ただ寒かった‼️
写真なんかはもっと自由度があるといいと思いました。自分達で、撮っていいものか現地のサービスなのか。
まぁでも子供たちはめっちゃ楽しかったということで良かったです。

We took our 2 girls, 6 and 8. Water was slightly cool and it was windy which made the girls cold but it was fine otherwise. The dolphins were so sweet and playful and the trainers were great and good with our daughters. Definitely worthwhile and much better than sea life park which we have done before as well.
Aloha Robin! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear you and your family had a great time, interacting with our dolphins up close. We hope to see you again for more dolphin adventures. Mahalo!
The tour time is limited, and we gathered at 6:50 AM to board the bus, but I thought it might have been okay to meet a bit later. We had about 30-50 minutes of free time in the morning, which left the kids a bit bored.
After that, we moved according to the schedule, so I was satisfied. Since it takes a whole day during our stay in Hawaii, I wonder how that will work out, but I recommend it.
日本人向けの日本語の、ツアーの時間は限りがあるのか、あさ6:50に集まってバスに乗ったのですが、もっと、遅くても大丈夫なんじゃ無いかとは思いました。30-50分程度朝少し空いたので、子供が暇になりました。
そのあとは時間で動いたので、満足です。
ハワイの滞在の一日使うので、そこがどうかな？とは思いますが、おススメです。

On the day of the event, it was raining heavily and too cold, making it a test of endurance. I would like to suggest establishing certain rules and considering canceling the tour in case of bad weather.

We did parasailing in pairs, and while others were up in the air, the crew made jokes and kept the atmosphere lively, which was a lot of fun! The view of Honolulu from above was beautiful and amazing! It sways a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
順番に二人ずつパラセイリングをしたのですが、他の人が上に上がっている間、クルーの方がジョークを言うなど盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです！上からホノルル一望を眺め、とてもきれいで最高でした！少し揺れるので、酔いやすい人は、薬を飲んだ方が良さそうです

Weather was rainy and chilly. As a result we were crowded in a small area with a roof for the entire afternoon. Tried snorkeling at the sand bar, saw nothing and it was very cold. Too cold to snorkel at the second spot. Burgers were good and the staff were nice. Bottom line is they should have canceled the trip and refunded our money. They even charged us for drinks!! It was by far, the worst boat experience I have ever had. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the time spent with the gentle horses while exploring the ranch, including the movie filming locations, and seeing the mountains, the sea, and even a rock shaped like a turtle. This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii (North Shore and Big Island), and I recommend this facility for its great amenities. My elementary school child mentioned that it was a bit long, though.
映画のロケ地をはじめとした牧場内を周遊し、山々や海、亀の形をした岩？も見つつ、優しい馬と過ごした時間は本当に楽しかったです
ハワイでの乗馬は３回目(ノースとハワイ島)ですが施設も充実しているところもおススメです

The guide was great!
During my first trip to Hawaii, I was able to hear many stories.
I learned a lot about the characteristics of the Hawaiian Islands and their history—so many things I didn't know!
The tour also took us to a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, and horseback riding was amazing.

The boat crew was very fun, always teasing us a little and making us laugh, which made the experience really enjoyable.
The three South American people who were riding with us were also friendly and engaged in conversation, which added to the enjoyment.
Since we were both flying together, we couldn't take pictures of each other, but it was great to chat while flying and have a lively time together.
ボートのクルーがとても楽しい人で、ちょっかいをちょこちょこ出してくれたり、笑わせてくれたりしてとても楽しかったです。

The explanations in Japanese were very helpful. The child who was a little scared to ride the submarine became excited and started looking around underwater once we dove in.
I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication.

The Japanese guide was friendly and taught us everything. The sandbar felt like walking in the sea, with beautiful clear water and white sand that was very soothing.
Since the time for snorkeling is included, it feels like a good deal. However, it's a bit disappointing that the area has low water clarity, so it may not be recommended for those who are looking forward to snorkeling the most.
After the tour, there are no places to change or shower. This seems to be the case with other tours as well, so it's not that this tour is bad. It seems that when participating in such tours in Hawaii, it's normal to just wipe off lightly with a towel while still in seawater and return to the hotel as is.
日本人ガイドさんがフレンドリーで、なんでも教えてくれました。サンドバーは、海の中(上？)を散歩してるかのようで、水も白い砂も綺麗で癒されました。
シュノーケルをする時間も含まれているので、お得感があります。少し残念なのは、水の透明度が低いエリアらしく、シュノーケルを一番の楽しみにしてる方にはお勧めできないかもです。
ツアーのあと、着替える場所、シャワーする場所はありません。他のツアーでも、そういう感じなので、このツアーが悪いわけではないです。ハワイでこういったツアーに参加する場合は、海水のまま、軽くタオルで拭いて、ホテルにそのまま戻るのが普通なようでした。

I was not aware of the situation and didn't prepare because I had a limited understanding of the possibility of entering the waterfall pool due to insufficient research. Next time, I will make sure to bring my swimsuit.
