At first, I was worried if it would be okay with just the pulley and rope, but I gradually got used to it and by the end, I was able to let go and enjoy the ride. The instructor was also very kind and provided great guidance. The scenery was beautiful, and I felt like I was racing through the forest. Along the way, there were spots to eat macadamia nuts, tomatoes, and apple bananas, all of which were delicious. I want to go again! 😊

最初は、滑車とロープのみで大丈夫か心配だったけど、だんだん慣れてきて最後には手を離して滑れるくらい楽しめました。
インストラクターの方も優しく指導してくれました。
景色も良く、森の中を駆け抜けている感覚が味わえました。
途中、マカデミアナッツやトマト、アップルバナナなど食べられるスポットがありどれも美味しかったです。
また行きたいです(^-^)

The staff spoke very friendly Japanese and chatted with us the whole time, which was really fun. They helped us catch waves that were easy to ride, and I was able to stand up! I even felt like I wanted to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves! It was that fulfilling!

とてもフレンドリーな日本語を話せるスタッフがいて、ずっと喋ってくれてとても面白かったし、サーフィン自体も乗りやすい波に乗せてくれて立つことができました！！もう少し大きな波に挑戦もしたくなりました！そのくらい達成感があります！！

It was a buffet-style meal, but you can enjoy a luxurious atmosphere with the ship's interior and live performances. Since it was Christmas Eve, they sang Christmas songs and danced, allowing us to spend a leisurely time enjoying the beautiful night view and sunset.

ビュッフェスタイルの食事でしたが、船の内装や生演奏など、豪華な気分が味わえます。クリスマスイヴの参加だったため、クリスマスソングを歌ってくれたり、ダンスを踊ったり、また夜景いや夕焼けを見る贅沢でゆっくりとした時間が過ごせました。

This was a great snorkeling trip. The boat was great and the crew was outstanding. My son had a blast. The turtles were amazing. the lunch was good and overall an outstanding experience. Thanks for a great time.

The weather was bad and it was a cold time, but I really enjoyed snorkeling! We couldn't come during a time when the sandbar had low water levels, but we had fun playing beach volleyball and other activities. I think those who come ready to have a great time in the ocean will enjoy it!

天気も悪く、寒い時期でしたが、シュノーケリングはとっても楽しめました！サンドバーはなかなか水位が低い時期に来れないのですが、ビーチバレーなど楽しめました。海でがっちり遊ぼうと思って来た方が楽しめると思います！

I participated in the Christmas cruise on December 25th. There were fewer Japanese participants than I expected, and the atmosphere on the ship was great, so I was very satisfied! I'm glad I went! The buffet-style food was warm and delicious. The welcome drink was also very tasty.

12月25日のクリスマスクルーズに参加しました。おもっていたよりよ日本人の参加者がかなり少なくて、船のなかの雰囲気もよく、とても満足しました！行って良かったです！ビュッフェ形式のご飯もあたたかく、美味しく食べられました。ウェルカムドリンクのお酒もとってもおいしかったです。

My sons participated in a dolphin swim. The dolphins were well-trained, and the guide was very kind, allowing us to fully enjoy the program. It lasted about 30 to 40 minutes. There were 7 to 8 people in the group, and we got to be pulled by the dorsal fins of two dolphins, have them poke our feet to help us rise from the water, and even receive kisses. This is a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere, so I highly recommend participating if you want to interact with dolphins.

In addition to this program, there are several interesting things to see at the Sea Life Park itself. There are tanks with sharks, cages with beautiful Hawaiian birds, sea turtles, and penguins. It's quite enjoyable, and if you have about three hours, you can see everything. The facilities are a bit old, and some areas could use renovation, but the interaction with the dolphins is something you can only experience here, and I highly recommend it.

ドルフィンスイムに息子たちが参加しました。
イルカは良く調教されていて、イルカのガイドをされている方もとても親切でプログラムを満喫できました。
全体で30~40分くらいでしょうか？グループに7~8人が参加し、2匹のイルカの背びれで引っ張ってもらったり、足の裏を突いてもらって水中から立ち上がらせてもらったり、キスをしてもらったりと、とても他では体験できないことなので、ぜひイルカと触れ合いたい方は参加されると貴重な体験をできると思います。

このプログラム以外にもシーライフパーク自体でいくつか面白いものが見れます。サメのいる水槽やハワイのきれいな小鳥を飼っているケージやウミガメ、ペンギンもいたり、まずまず楽しめるのですが、3時間程度あれば、全部回れる感じですね。施設が古くなっていて、一部は取り壊して再生したほうがいいようなところもありますが、ぜひ皆さんイルカとの触れ合いはここでしか味わえないし、おすすめします。

The charming guide taught us how to find sea turtles in advance, so we were able to spot them right away! I hesitated to go snorkeling because the water was cold, but I got used to the chill and decided to give it a try. I was very satisfied to see a different side of Hawaii's ocean compared to Waikiki! Other guides also took plenty of photos and provided great service.

チャーミングなガイドさんが事前にウミガメの見つけ方を教えてくれたので、すぐにウミガメを見つける事が出来ました！水が冷たく、シュノーケリングをするかをためらっていましたが、冷たさにも慣れたのでやってみました。ワイキキの海とは違うハワイの海を見れたので大満足でした〜！他のガイドさんもたくさん写真を撮ってくれたりサービスも充実していました。

Since the course started at 12:15, the pickup was at 9:50, allowing us to enjoy the hotel buffet before participating! The waiting time was almost nonexistent, and everything went smoothly. There were few Japanese-speaking staff, so I asked nearby Japanese guests for help while moving around. I thought it might be dangerous to carry my camera, so I put it in a locker, but the horses were calm and it would have been fine to bring it. I regret not taking my camera to capture the beautiful scenery and filming locations. I highly recommend bringing a camera. It was so much fun, and I would love to participate again!

12時15分～のコースだったので、お迎えも9時50分とゆっくりでホテルのブッフェに行ってから参加できました！
待ち時間もほとんどなくスムーズでした。
日本語のスタッフが少なかったので、近くにいる日本人の方に聞きながら行動しました。
カメラを持ちながらは危ないかとロッカーにしまいましたが、馬が大人しく余裕だったので、カメラを持って行けば良かったと後悔しました。
カメラを持って行ってキレイな景色やロケ地を撮ってくる事をオススメします。
すごく楽しかったです。また参加したいです。

I was a bit anxious because the bus didn't arrive on time at the meeting place, but it came about five minutes late.
Inside the boat, there were no other people from Japan, so I was nervous because I couldn't understand what was being said.
However, they taught us how to ride using gestures, which made it really enjoyable! During the parasailing, I even got to see dolphins, which was very moving.
I was able to experience parasailing in the vast and beautiful ocean of Hawaii, creating wonderful memories.
I also purchased an SD card containing the photos taken for $33, and I'm looking forward to seeing them.
We were able to return to the hotel mostly on time.

集合場所に時間通りにバスが来なかったため少し不安もありましたが、５分過ぎたあたりに来ました。
ボート内、説明の方とも日本から来た人がいなかったため、話してる内容が分からなくて緊張しました。
ですが、ジェスチャーで乗り方を教えて下さったのですごく楽しむことが出来ました！ パラセール中にはなんとイルカも見ることができ、とても感動しました。
ハワイの広く大きな海でパラセーリングを体験することができ、素敵な思い出が増えました。
撮影して下さった写真のデータが入っているSDカードも、３３＄で購入でき見るのが楽しみです。
だいたい時間通りにホテルに戻ることができました。

Our guide Toshi was very polite and made the tour enjoyable! The round trip to the waterfall was a wild adventure in the rain, but I was able to soak in plenty of negative ions and recharge my energy! The lunch we had at Kapiolani Park was also fantastic!

ガイドのトシさんが丁寧かつ楽しくご案内してくれました！滝までの往復も雨の中のワイルドアドベンチャーでしたがマイナスイオンをたっぷり吸ってパワーチャージできました♪♪
カピオラニ公園で頂いたお弁当も最高でした！

Since I went in December, the sea water was cold, but I was able to see sea turtles and many fish, which was very enjoyable. My child was also very excited when they found fish. The hamburger on the boat was very delicious. The staff were all kind, and they took care of my younger child who started to fuss, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling. I'm glad I went.

12月に行ったので、海の水が冷たかったですが、海亀も、見れて、海の魚もよく見れてとても楽しかったです。
子供も、魚を見つけることが出来たら、大興奮でした。
船の上のハンバーガーが、とても美味しかったです。
スタッフの方も、みんな親切で、ぐずりだした下の子を見てくれたので、シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
行ってよかったです。

The waves were strong, and many people got seasick. We were able to see sea turtles, but since they were diving, we couldn't see them clearly, which was disappointing.

波が強かったみたいで船酔いする人が多かった。
ウミガメは見れた。しかし潜っているため綺麗に見えなかったので残念。

I had a very enjoyable and great experience! When I was blown by the wind up in the air, it shook quite a bit, and I felt a little scared. But that added to the thrill, and it was good!

I was looking forward to being able to take photos and purchase them for $30, but it seems I needed to apply before getting on the boat, so I was disappointed that I couldn't get the photos... I think I'll make sure to check properly next time.

とても楽しくいい経験ができました！
上空で風に吹かれた際にかなり揺れて、少し恐怖を感じました。ですがそれもスリルがあってよかったです！

写真を撮っていただけて30ドルで購入できるとのことで楽しみにしていましたが、船に乗る前に申請する必要があったようで、写真をもらえず残念でした…次からはきちんと確認しようと思います。

When we arrived at the port, it was completely cloudy. I passed by people who participated in the morning tour, and they all seemed to have gloomy expressions. I was half resigned to the weather, but when we arrived at the sandbar, the clouds began to clear, and it ended up being a beautiful sunny day!! It was truly a paradise! We were lucky to see many sea turtles, and snorkeling was a lot of fun! Since it was a nature tour, we understood that the weather was beyond our control and decided to take our chances. When we did, we were rewarded with breathtaking views, and everyone was extremely satisfied!! Thank you to all the staff!

港に到着時は全面曇ってました。
午前中のツアーに参加した人たちとすれ違いましたが、表情もみな曇っていたように感じました。
なかば諦めていましたが、サンドバーに到着するとどんどん雲がはけて、最終的には快晴！！
天使の海そのものでした！
ウミガメも運良くたくさんみれましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです！
自然のツアーなので、天気は仕方ないので理解して運にかけて参加するべき。
自分たちも運にかけて参加したら超絶景で全員大満足でした！！
スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました！

It was surprisingly cold, so I want to go in the summer next time.

I enjoyed it from start to finish!

My partner lost their windbreaker somewhere, but the staff helped us look for it and were very polite in their response.

I definitely want to go again, so I hope to see you then!

以外と寒かったので今度は夏に行きたいです

最初から最後まで楽しめました❗️

相方がウインドブレーカーをどこかで無くしてしまいましたがスタッフの方に色々と探して頂きとても丁寧な対応をしてもらいました☺️

是非また行きたいと思いますのでその時はよろしくお願いします

We, a group of five from our company trip to Hawaii, spent three nights and five days in Honolulu. Since we are close friends, we were excited even before departure. Once we arrived in Honolulu, we had a parade of requests about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to eat. Among those plans, we booked a North Shore tour for the second day of our trip, December 17 (Monday). The tour was coordinated by Kazu, who has lived in Hawaii for decades. The journey from Honolulu to the North Shore was filled with stories about the ongoing monorail development and quizzes about the Dole Pineapple Plantation.

Along the way, we had some time, so we stopped by a coffee farm, enjoyed complimentary coffee, and listened to stories about the mountains where Zero fighters flew during the Pearl Harbor attack, reflecting on the happiness after the war while gazing at the blue Hawaiian sky. After that, we enjoyed ice cream at the pineapple plantation and finally arrived at Haleiwa's Old Town on the North Shore. We soaked in the local atmosphere of Hawaii that we had always dreamed of. Kazu shared information about local food and the history of the shops, and we savored Hawaiian dishes of tuna and shrimp, leaving us satisfied.

This is where Kazu truly shined as our local guide! He informed us that a world championship was taking place at the North Shore, where surfers from around the world gather. We asked Kazu if he could drop us off at the competition venue, and off we went to the world championship site! It was exhilarating to see the North Shore's Pipeline, which we had only seen on TV, with our own eyes! Our close-knit group of five had a precious experience! I highly recommend everyone to join Kazu's tour at North Shore through VELTRA. A wonderful experience awaits you! ^^;

私たち、ハワイ社員旅行5人組でホノルル3泊5日の旅でした。気心知れた仲間ですので、出発前から大騒ぎ。ホノルル着いたら、あそこへ行きたい。何を食べたい。リクエストのオンパレード。そんな中、ツアー2日目の12月17日（月）にノースショア観光を予約しました。現地でツアーをコーディネートしてくれたのが、ハワイ在住うん十年のKazuさん。ホノルルからノースショアまでの道のりハイウェイ道中も、現在開発中のモノレール開発秘話やドール・パイナップルプランテーションクイズなど盛りだくさん。途中、時間もあったため、「コーヒーファーム」に立ち寄り、フリードリンクコーヒーをごちそうになり、コーヒ園から眺めなれるパールハーバー大戦時のゼロ戦が飛んでいった山谷のお話しに戦後の幸せを感慨深く思い、ハワイの青空を眺めました。その後は、パイナップルプランテーションでアイスクリームを楽しみ、いよいよノースショア・ハレイワのオールドタウンに。憧れたハワイのローカルな雰囲気を満喫。Kazuさんからローカルフード情報や店舗のヒストリーなどうかがい、マグロとエビのハワイアン料理に舌づつみを打ち、お腹も満腹。ここからが現地ガイド、Kazuさんの真骨頂！ちょうど、Kazuさんが世界のサーファーが集うノースショアで世界大会が行われている情報をゲット。我われKazuさんに無理を言って、その大会会場で特別に降ろしていただき、いざ、世界大会会場に！テレビでしか見たことのない、ノースショアのパイプラインをこの目で見ることができてエキサイティング！仲良し5人組は貴重な体験をしたのでした！ぜひ、みなさん！ノースショアはVELTRA　現地ガイドKazuさんのツアーに参加してみてくださいね。素敵な体験があなたをお待ちしております^^;

I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Based on various reviews, I prepared shoes that I wouldn't mind throwing away after the trip. However, the weather held up, and my shoes didn't get too dirty. The mud was heavy and difficult to wash off. Since it was slippery, sneakers are the best choice. There were many mosquitoes, so insect repellent is a must. Water and raincoats were provided. The guide explained about the forest plants, but the walking pace was a bit fast. The lunch on the way back was delicious, but the side dishes in the bento varied slightly from person to person, with some having a lot of root vegetables.

You can go individually, but having a guide was beneficial for the information provided.

以前から行きたいと思ったいたので、楽しみにしていました。いろんな口コミを参考に、帰りに捨てても良いような、靴を用意しました。しかし、天候崩れず、靴もたいして汚れずに済みました。赤土で重く、汚れたら落ちにくい泥です。滑りやすいので、スニーカーがベストです。蚊が多いので、虫除けは必修。水とカッパは、用意されていました。ガイドさんは、森の植物など説明してくれますが、歩くペースが少し早いです。帰のランチは美味しかったのですが、お弁当のおかずが、人によって多少違っており、芋類が多いものもありました。
個人でも行けますが、ガイドがつくと情報も入るので良かったと思います。

I was looking forward to this tour.
The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, but the tour guide, Kaz, was very businesslike. He only said what he needed to say (just explanations) and ignored us or responded coldly when we tried to say something. Even when I just wanted to confirm something as a first-time participant, he would say things like, "I just said that, didn't I?" with a laugh, and "That's why I'm asking."
When my child spoke a little loudly, he covered his ears, sighed, and told us to be quiet, saying that if we didn't keep it down, it would irritate the tour guide again. I ended up scolding my child out of frustration.
I realized he didn't like children, and it was exhausting throughout the trip.
Even when I conveyed that my child was looking forward to seeing the sea turtles, he casually replied, "They'll be around, but there are hardly any in winter."
He told us to go through the grass, and my shoes got soaked walking through the wet grass after the rain.
After the horseback riding, he just said, "We're going back right away!" without asking for any feedback, and mentioned that we were running late. I felt like I was constantly checking the tour guide's mood, and it was very tiring.
I was really disappointed since I had paid nearly 100,000 yen for the tour. I don't think I will use this company again.

このツアーを楽しみにしていました。
乗馬自体は楽しかったのですが、ツアコンのカズさんが業務的で、言いたいことだけ（説明だけ）言って、こちらがなにか言っても無視か、冷たい反応。初参加でよくわからないので確認しただけにもかかわらず、
私さっき言いましたよね？鼻で笑って、だからそれを聞いてるんです。などと言われたり、
子どもがちょっと大きな声で話したら、耳を押さえられて、ため息ついて、静かにしてください、といわれ、静かにさせないとまたツアコンの方をいらつかせるなあと、私も子どもに叱りイライラ。
彼が子どもが嫌いなのはわかりましたが、道中どっと疲れました。
また子どもがウミガメを楽しみにしてることを伝えても、
寄りますけど、冬場はほとんどいないですよ
と、あっさり。15分で戻ってきて。と、草むらを突っ切って行けと言われて、雨上がりの草むらを歩いて靴はビシャビシャ。
乗馬後も、すぐに帰りますから！とだけ言われ、感想を聞くわけでもなく、時間がおしてる。
などと言ってきて、ツアコンの方の顔色伺がって、どっと疲れて帰ってきました。
10万円近いツアー代金を払っていたので本当に残念でした。こちらの会社は2度ど利用しないと思います。

It was as good as the reputation suggests.
It's a place that many people, even those with experience traveling to Hawaii, surprisingly don't know about, but I definitely recommend visiting at least once.
It truly was a place deserving of the expression "the sea of angels."

評判通り良かったです。
ハワイ渡航経験者でも意外と知らない人も多い場所ですが、必ず1度は訪れてほしいところです。
天使の海という表現にふさわしい場所でした。

I had a hard time communicating at the reception to see if I could board earlier than planned. Also, I was anxious because I couldn't communicate in Japanese on the ferry to the submarine. Once I got on the submarine, I was disappointed to find that there were surprisingly few beautiful fish.

予定より早い行動となり、受付で乗船を前倒し出来ないか伝えるのに、一苦労しました。
また、潜水艦への連絡船でも日本語が通じず不安でした。
潜水艦に乗ってからは、意外に綺麗な魚が少なく期待ハズレでした。

My son was SUPER excited to go snorkeling so we booked a day through Veltra. Our driver showed up within 5 minutes of our pickup time (a feat with traffic) and got us going. He was very personable and helpful in getting us our equipment. We had an AMAZING day at Hanauma Bay (reef-safe sunblock only, people!) He was right on time for our pickup and turned on the AC so we could sit comfortably while waiting for the rest of the guests to return. We had a great amount of time to be in the water and had so much fun! My son got an acceptance call to the first choice college while we were waiting. Our driver said Congrats and even again as we were getting out of the van. It
was a fabulous day.

The kids experienced the 150m ride! They were a bit nervous since it was their first time, but the cheerful local guy really got them excited! He even took photos for us, and thanks to him, we had a very enjoyable time on the boat both while waiting for the kids' turn and after it was over! I plan to sign up again the next time I go to Honolulu! The shuttle also arrived on time in front of the hotel, which was reassuring.

子供達が150ｍ体験しました！初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ノリノリで盛り上げてくれた陽気な現地のお兄さん‼️
写真も撮ってくれたり、子供達の番がくる時も終わってからもボートの上はお兄さんのお陰でとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました❣️
次回ホノルルに行く時も申し込もうと思ってます！
送迎もホテルの前に時間通り来てくれたので安心でした。

It was my first experience, but I wasn't scared. I took some footage with my phone. I rode with two other people. We went for 150 meters.

初体験でしたが、怖くありませんでした。自分の携帯で様子を撮りました。他の人２人と一緒に乗りました。１５０Mにしてみました。

For $45, you can buy underwater videos and photos. I returned home and showed everyone the footage of Sea Bob. It was interesting!

４５ドルだせば、水中の動画や写真を買うことができます。シーボブの様子を帰国して、みんなに見せました。面白い！

I've come here so many times, but this was my first time paragliding. The staff took photos at just the right moments, making it an amazing experience. Just before a once-in-a-hundred-years hurricane hit, the clear skies and the height of 150 meters were fantastic. I want to participate again!

こんなに何回も来ているのに初めてパラセイリングをしました。スタッフの人もいいタイミングで写真を撮ってくださり、最高の体験になりました。
100年に一度のハリケーンが来る寸前で、快晴の中、150メートルの高さは最高でした。また参加したいです。

We had done this excursion on our first trip last year. We had such an amazing time we decided to do it again
Upon our arrival at the marina our guide Jenner took excellent care of us but the best part was he remembered us from over a year ago the crew was exceptional we had a great lunch and saw lots of turtles. The snorkeling was fantastic
This is by far our favorite thing to do while on Oahu

Everything was great from the time of arrival. We arrived a few hours early to visit the waterfall and botanical garden. Simply beautiful and peaceful. That landed us in time for the luau and we got upgraded to VIP! Warning VIP you may be asked to be part of the show but it’s all fun and games and a great hands on learning experience. Food was buffet style and also amazingly delicious. All in all a great day at a great price.

The day after the Honolulu Marathon, I participated with two friends. I was worried about muscle pain, but I enjoyed it so much that I forgot all about it due to the refreshing feeling. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but it was not a problem at all. They made it fun and lively. I also got to know the people in my group well, and it created wonderful memories. The zip line was amazing!! I want to participate again.

ホノルルマラソンの翌日に友達と3人で参加しました。
筋肉痛など心配でしたが、そんなことも忘れるくらいの爽快感で楽しむことができました。
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、全然問題ありません。楽しく盛り上げてくださいました。一緒のグループだった人達とも仲良くなれ、とてもよい思い出ができました。
ジップライン最高です！！また参加したいです。

The facilities are clean, and in between the zip line activities, there are experiences similar to an obstacle course, which were really fun! The price is a bit high with the shuttle service included, but I was extremely satisfied and highly recommend it!!

施設もキレイですし、ジップラインの合間にアスレチックのような体験もあり、とても楽しかったです！送迎付ですと値段は高めですが、大満足すぎて本当にオススメです！！
