It was supposed to be a guided tour with a Japanese guide, but the bus guide only spoke Japanese for jokes and didn't inform us about when to get off or the order of disembarking, so I almost missed my stop. The boat staff were good, but unfortunately, the weather was bad and it was cold on the ground. It might be better to check the tide times before booking.
日本人ガイド付きとなっていましたが、バスのバスのガイドさんは冗談だけ日本語で帰りは途中で下車し、降りる順番とかも教えてくれなかったので危うく乗り過ごすところでした。船のスタッフさんは良かったですがあいにくの天気で地上は寒かったです。潮の時間を調べて申し込んだ方が良いかもです。

I love the ocean and swim with sharks in Hawaii was on my bucket list. To celebrate my 78th birthday, my daughter decided to take me on this amazing shark cage diving tour. What a great experience! We saw a lot of different species of sharks, they are amazing animals. The crew was really nice and made us feel safe during the entire process. Thank you HawaiiActivities.com for helping me during our booking process. This was the best birthday gift I could ask for!

I had been interested in parasailing for a while, and experiencing it in Hawaii was just perfect. So, I went for it. My partner, who is my wife, doesn't like heights, so I participated alone.
In my group (at 4:00 PM), all 10 other participants were foreigners. From the pickup to the return to the hotel, everything was in English ONLY. There are staff who understand Japanese on-site, so if you’re not comfortable with English, it might be a good idea to let them know in advance. That said, I’m not that fluent either, but I actually enjoyed interacting with the cheerful guide, so it was fun in its own way.
It may vary by day, but on the day I went, the boat was quite rocky (especially the waves were a bit intimidating when leaving the bay), so those who are sensitive to motion sickness should be cautious.
On the boat, there was a laid-back and cheerful captain along with two crew members. They played upbeat music, danced, and told jokes, making for a cruise filled with laughter. However, the safety instructions were clear and easy to understand, all in English, but there weren't any complicated procedures, so it was manageable.
Originally, it seems you can't fly solo, but since everyone else was participating in pairs, I ended up flying solo. They assess the wind and wave conditions to ensure safety, so it seems casual but is actually quite responsible (which is to be expected, of course).
This time, I took the 150-meter course, and when I went up, it was higher than I had imagined! Up in the air, I was surprised by how quiet it was, as I couldn't hear the boat's engine anymore. I could see the entire Diamond Head, the round horizon, and the high-rise hotels of Honolulu along with the white sandy beaches in the distance. The long-awaited aerial stroll while only hearing the sound of the wind was amazing.
As expected, I was dropped into the water at the end and high-fived everyone while returning to the dock. The ride back to the hotel, listening to the cheerful driver’s rapid-fire talk, was also enjoyable, making for a very satisfying experience.
Overall, from the hotel pickup to the return, it takes about 2 hours, so if you have any free time, I highly recommend giving it a try!
以前から興味のあった、パラセーリング。Hawaiiで体験できれば申し分ない。
・・・ということで、行ってまいりました。相方のカミさんは、高いのはダメなので、一人参加でした。
私の参加したグループ(16:00)は私以外の10名全て外人。送迎からホテル帰着まで、全て英語ONLYでした。現地には日本語わかるスタッフが居るので、英語ダメな方は、事前に伝えておいたほうが良いかも知れません。とは言え私もそんなに堪能なわけではないですが、陽気なガイドさんとのやり取りを、かえって楽しめた部分もあるので、それはそれで面白いと思いますが。
日によるとは思いますが、私の行った日はかなり船が揺れた(特に湾から出るちょっとビビるくらいの高さの波でした)ので、船に弱い方は要注意と思います。
船でもは、いい感じにいい加減(?)な乗りの良い陽気な船長とクルー2名が対乗船。ノリの良い音楽をかけて踊りながらJokeを飛ばし、終始笑いの絶えない、クルーズでした。とは言え、安全に係る説明や指示は、的確にわかりやすく、説明はすべて英語ですが、そんなに難しい手順があるわけでもなく、まあなんとかなります。
本来はSOLO(1人)では飛ばせないようなのですが、生憎皆さんペアでの参加でしたので、結局SOLOで飛部事になりました。きちんと風や揺れの状況見て判断するから大丈夫と、このあたりもいい加減なようで、きちんとしてます(まあ当たり前ですが (笑))
今回は高さ150mのコースでしたが、上がってみると、想像していたより高い!上空では船のエンジン音も聞こえなくなり、静かなことに驚きます。遠くにダイアモンドヘッドの全景、丸い水平線、ホノルルの高層ホテル群や白い砂浜を遠望し、風の音だけを聞きながらの念願の空中散歩は最高でした。
お約束で最後に水に落とされ、皆とハイタッチしながら寄港。
また、陽気なドライバーさんのマシンガントークを聞きながらのホテルまでの帰り道も楽しく、大満足な体験ができました。
TOTALではホテルでのピックアップから帰るまで、2時間程度になりますので、少しでも時間が空けられる方は、ぜひ一度お試しください。

It was my first experience with parasailing. The scenery was, of course, beautiful, and I enjoyed it throughout the cruise. Even though I took motion sickness medication, I started to feel a bit nauseous towards the end, so I think it's best for those who are anxious to definitely take the medication beforehand. For those traveling to Hawaii, it's an easy activity to participate in, and I would recommend it to friends who are interested in parasailing. One thing that I found a bit unsatisfactory was that the price was the same even without transportation. They also firmly requested a tip in broken Japanese.
パラセーリング初体験でした。景色はもちろんの事、クルーズ中も楽しめます。
酔い止め飲んでても最後の方気持ち悪くなったので、不安な方は必ず酔い止め飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。ハワイ旅する方には手軽に参加できるし、パラセーリング友達にもおすすめしたいアクティビティーです。
ひとつだけ、送迎なしでも同価格ってのが納得のいかない所ですかね。チップも片言の日本語できっちり要求されました。

It was my first time, but I was able to ride the waves! Everyone was very kind and taught us well. We were divided into two groups, with one teacher who was very attentive (possibly a teacher for smaller classes) and another who encouraged us to practice more. I ended up with the practice-oriented teacher, so I was able to ride the waves many times. However, it really requires a lot of stamina, so it's best to be prepared. I got tired halfway through.
Also, the next day, you will definitely feel quite sore! But I’m glad I did it.
As a note, it's better to eat lightly before surfing. My husband ate too much for breakfast and ended up feeling sick, so he could only ride the waves twice and spent most of the time watching from the beach (laughs).
初めてだけど、波に乗れました!みなさん丁寧に教えてくれます。
2つグループに分かれていて、丁寧に教えてくれる先生(もしかしたら少人数レッスンの先生かも)とどんどん実践をさせる先生がいました。
私は実践させる先生にあたったので、何度も何度も波にのれました。
ただ、本当に体力が必要なので、心して行ったほうが良いです。私は途中でバテてしまったので。
あと、次の日はかなり筋肉痛になります!でもやってよかったです。
注意点としては、サーフィン前のご飯は少なめのほうが良いです。一緒に行った夫は朝ごはんを食べすぎてしまい、気持ち悪くなって2本しか波に乗れず、ほとんど浜辺で見ていました(苦笑)

It was amazing!!
Last year, I went to Hawaii on a package tour from a travel company and signed up for a one-hour horseback riding and a trip to Secret Island through their optional tours. The horseback riding was so good that I was determined to take the two-hour course next time, which is why I signed up this time.
This time, I opted for the two-hour horseback riding without transportation, and I drove there with a rental car. I booked the 9:30 session, and after confirming my payment and schedule, the voucher from Veltra stated that check-in was at 8:30. So, I left the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Waikiki around 7:15 and arrived at the Kualoa Ranch parking lot at 8:15. The traffic around Waikiki was heavy, and I was worried about whether I would arrive on time, but once I got closer to the mountains, the traffic suddenly eased up, and the road was straightforward.
I arrived at 8:15 and went to the ticket counter for check-in, but there was a long line! I realized why the voucher stated to check in at 8:30, even though I had booked the 9:30 session!
After presenting my voucher and completing check-in, a staff member called over a Japanese staff member, who provided a brief explanation and told us to go to the horseback riding reception 15 minutes before our session.
Even while waiting around the reception area, there was no announcement from the staff when the time came! So, it’s essential to approach them for check-in 15 minutes early! If you just wait quietly, you might miss your reserved time.
I was told that I could only bring a camera or a phone. Water was not allowed! However, after other activities, there was one person who left their water bottle and towel on a shelf during check-in.
The Japanese staff member advised us to leave all valuables and bags in a locker or in the rental car.
The helmets smelled quite bad, probably because they weren’t washed (laughs). Therefore, if you don’t want to wear it directly on your head, I recommend wearing a cap first before putting on the helmet! I learned this from my last visit and did it this time.
This time, there were a total of six participants, including us, in three couples. One English-speaking staff member accompanied us, but they mostly stayed at the back, so I was at the front. I was quite anxious and scared at first (laughs).
The horses go on their own, but there were moments when the staff was on their phones or when I couldn’t see the front at a turn, and my horse occasionally went the wrong way (laughs). The staff would come from behind, deliberately get close to my horse, scold it, and redirect it, but sometimes the horse would get startled and speed up or make sudden turns, which was really scary! (laughs) But once I got used to it, it became a fun accident.
The scenery was breathtaking. I think it’s an experience you can’t have in Japan.
I saw many reviews saying that the two-hour course would make your butt hurt, and I found that to be true! It suddenly started to hurt in the second half (laughs).
I think it was because I was tense and anxious in the first half, so adrenaline was pumping, but once I got used to it, the pain hit me suddenly (laughs).
After horseback riding, we had lunch at the hamburger place inside Kualoa Ranch.
There were plenty of chairs and tables, and outside there was a free water station with cups. We enjoyed our meal while looking at the ocean, and the taste was fantastic!
This is an activity I definitely want to participate in again next time! (^O^)
最高でした!!
去年、旅行会社のパッケージツアーでハワイに行き、同社のオプショナルツアーで乗馬1時間とシークレットアイランドに申し込みました。
その時の乗馬がとても良く、次回は2時間コースを絶対と思っており今回申し込みました。
今回は2時間乗馬を送迎無しの単品で、レンタカーで行きました。9:30からの回を申し込み、入金&予定確定後のベルトラからのバウチャーにはチェックインには8:30と記載がありましたのでワイキキのハイアットリージェンシーホテルを7:15ごろ出発し、8:15にクアロアランチ駐車場に着いてました。
ワイキキあたりは車が混んでいて、時間通りにちゃんと着くのか?と焦りましたが、山側に差し掛かってからは急に車も少なく、ずっと道なり一本道だったので分かりやすかったです。
8:15に着き、チェックインのためチケットカウンターに行きましたが、すごく並んでいました!9:30の回に予約したのに、バウチャーには8:30チェックインとなっていた意味がよく分かりました!
バウチャーを提示してチェックインを済ませると窓口のスタッフの人が日本人スタッフの方に声をかけ呼んでくれて、日本人スタッフの方から簡単な案内と15分前には乗馬の受付に行ってくださいと言われました。
受付周辺いたりしても、時間になってもスタッフの方からは声かけはありません!
なので15分前に必ず、自分からチェックインの為に声を掛けることが必要です!!黙って待っているだけでは、予約した時間の回に参加できなくなります。
持ち物はカメラか携帯のみと言われました。水もNGです!
他のアクティビティ後で、もしそのまま持って行ってしまっても水のボトルとタオル程度ならチェックインの時に棚に置かせてもらってる方も1人いました。
事前に先程の日本人のスタッフの方から、貴重品やバッグなどはすべて、ロッカーかレンタカーへ置いてくるように言われました。
ヘルメットは、洗ってないせいか、かなり臭います(笑)そのため、直接頭にかぶりたくない場合は必ずキャップを被ってから上にヘルメットを装着することをおすすめします!
前回の時に学び、今回はそうしました。
今回は私達を含め、計3組のカップルで6人での参加でした。
英語スタッフの方が1人同行してくれるのですが、基本一番後ろを行くので、私が一番先頭でした。最初はかなり不安で怖かったです(笑)
馬が勝手に行ってくれるのですが、スタッフさんが携帯を触ってたり、曲がり道で先頭が見えなくなってしまうタイミングに限って、私の馬がたまに道を間違えて違う道に進んでしまうことがありました(笑)
スタッフさんが後ろからやってきて、自分の馬をわざと近づけて叱りながら私の馬の方向を変えてくれるのですが、その時馬がびっくりしてたまに早足になったり、急な方向転換をして本当に怖かったです!(笑)でもそれも慣れてくると楽しいアクシデントでした。
景色は最高。日本では味わえない経験だとおもいます。
口コミで、2時間コースはお尻が痛くなると、たくさん見かけたのですが、後半に入ると急にお尻が痛くなります(笑)
おそらく前半は緊張と不安でアドレナリンが出てるからだと思いますが、慣れてきたあたりから急に痛くなります(笑)
乗馬を終えて、クアロアランチの中のハンバーガー屋さんで昼食をとりました。
椅子とテーブルもたくさんあり、外に無料の給水機とコップもあり、海を眺めながら食べましたが味も最高でした!
次回も必ず参加したいアクティビティでした!(^O^)

I participated on September 28. The hotel pickup was about 15 minutes late, and I was contemplating whether to call for inquiries when a large bus arrived. We were the last pickup. However, it was reassuring that the pickup location and the contact number for inquiries in case of delays over 10 minutes were clearly stated at the time of booking. There were only two of us Japanese; the rest were from Australia and the United States. The guide on the bus spoke Japanese, which was helpful.
The seating on the boat was basically free. There were round tables for six. Since the boat was spacious and the tables were large, we could enjoy our meals without worrying about the people next to us. It was a buffet style, and there was plenty of food, which was satisfying. The pineapple among the fruits was particularly delicious, and I ate quite a bit of it.
We could move freely between the second and third floors, so I went to the front to take pictures of Diamond Head while it was still light. Then I went to the back of the boat to watch the sunset. Finally, it was time for the fireworks. The display lasted about five minutes, but it was a satisfying fireworks experience. The weather was good, and there were no waves, making it a comfortable viewing of the fireworks from the boat. The weather and waves depend on luck, so all we can do is pray for good conditions.
9月28日の参加です。ホテルピックアップが約15分遅れ、問い合わせの電話をしようかと迷っていたところへ大型バスが到着。私たちが最後のピックアップでした。ただ申し込み時に、ピックアップの場所と10分以上遅れた場合の問い合わせ先も明記してあったので安心でした、、、。日本人は私たち2人だけ。あとはオーストラリア、アメリカから。バスに添乗していたガイドさんが日本語の話せる方でしたので、助かりました。船の席は基本自由。6人掛けの丸テーブル。広い船内と広いテーブルでしたので、隣の方を気にすることなく食事ができました。バイキング形式でしたが、量もふんだんにあり、満足でした。フルーツではパイナップルがとても美味しかったのが印象的でした、、、かなり食べました、、、。
2階3階へは移動が自由でしたので、明るいうちにダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に収めるため先頭へ。夕日を観るため船尾へ。そして花火の時間。打ち上げは5分ほどでしたが満足の花火観賞でした。お天気が良く波もなかったので快適な船からの花火観賞でした。お天気と波は運次第ですね。祈るしかありません。

The zip line experience was amazing. I had a great time. Although there was no Japanese support, I managed to get by. I was a bit worried since all the explanations were in English and I could only understand about one-third of it, but the staff kindly provided some words in Japanese and used gestures to help me navigate the course.
First, we put on the harness and helmet (they teach you properly) and practiced by sliding down a practice zip line. After that, we took a buggy to the course, which started at a pretty high point. The view was absolutely stunning, which was already impressive. The course gradually increased in difficulty from beginner to more challenging (the distance and steepness became greater, but as I got used to it, it became even more enjoyable), and finally, we reached what is said to be the longest zip line at 830 meters. I heard it was the longest in America (though my understanding of English is less than one-third).
I was able to enjoy the ride with a bit of ease, being able to look around. At the end, I was told to try various tricks (the staff demonstrated how to do it), so I attempted to go backwards and upside down. I highly recommend this to everyone.
Along the course, there were spots to learn about history, hydrate, and eat bananas and macadamia nuts. It was a zip line experience where you could climb and descend on your own while enjoying nature. It seems that this activity hasn't spread much among Japanese people yet, as I didn't see many others; there was only one other group. My team even included a foreigner who was about 70 years old, so I think it's something that people of various ages can enjoy.
ジップライン最高です良い体験をしました。
日本語対応無いですが、何とかできます。
説明がすべて英語で普通会話の説明なのでどうなるかと思いました(1/3位しか分からなかった)が、スタッフが親切に日本人には単語だけ言ってくれたり、身ぶり手ぶりで教えてくれたのでコースを回って来られました。
最初にハーネスとヘルメットを装着(ちゃんと教えてくれます)して練習ジップラインを実際にはすべり下りる。
その後、バギーでコースへ出発、結構登った所が出発点です。景色がすっごく良いです。これだけで感動。初級向けから徐々に難しくなって(距離や斜度が急になってきますが、慣れて来てもっと楽しくなってくる)遂に830mあるそうですが最長のジップラインに来ます。アメリカで1番長いと聴こえました(私の1/3以下の英語理解ですが)。ちょっと余裕で(周りが見られるようになる)楽しく降りることができました。
最後はいろいろアレンジしろと言われ(スタッフが演技して降りるので分かります)背面、逆さまに挑戦しました。皆さんにもオススメします。
コースの途中には歴史や水分補給、バナナ、マカデミアの食べるところもあり、自力でロープを登ったり、降りたり、自然を満喫しながらのジップラインです。
まだあまり日本人には広がってないのか余り見かけませんでした、ほかのチームでも1組くらいしか入ってなかった。わたしのチームには70歳くらいの外人さんも入っていたので、結構年いっても出来るかと思いました。

In the early morning, we headed to the port for pickup. The staff talked continuously on the bus, providing various announcements along the way.
At the port, we took care of our restroom needs, but there were few toilets, resulting in a long line for women. However, there are restrooms on the boat, so no worries there.
As soon as we boarded, we sang something like a Hawaiian song and offered plumeria to the sea. We were able to see quite a few dolphins close to the port, and we could even hear their voices, which was very satisfying.
I was also pleased to see many large turtles.
After coming back from the sea, snacks were provided, but it seemed a bit different from what was described. On the way back, many people were tired and sleeping, but we were woken up for a dance that was labeled as hula... it was just regular dancing, not hula at all. I was also surprised that due to a stove malfunction, a chain restaurant's burgers were served. I was like, "Huh? This?"
While I was very satisfied with the many encounters with turtles and dolphins, the rest was a bit lacking, so I rated it as average.

This was my fifth time on Oahu. I had previously avoided the typical Japanese-oriented optional tours because I dislike being forced to do things (laughs). However, I wanted to see dolphins in their natural habitat, so I decided to sign up.
The pickup was early in the morning, around 5 AM. I thought there were surprisingly few pickup locations, but I believe adding more stops would only waste time.
I was greeted by energetic staff and we headed to West Oahu, taking about an hour to reach the port of Nanakuli, which is the hometown of former sumo wrestler Konishiki. During the bus ride, the staff kept the energy up with lively conversation, and they also explained some important points along the way.
Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and headed to the dolphin viewing point, which was surprisingly close to the port. Before we got there, we chanted the Hawaiian song "E HO MAI" while offering plumeria flowers to the sea. The lyrics were provided, so it was no problem.
After that, we entered the water at the dolphin point, and it wasn't long before the dolphins appeared. The staff mentioned that it was rare to see so many dolphins swimming beneath us, jumping nearby, and communicating with their squeaks. We were able to see them multiple times!
After the dolphins, we moved to Makaha to observe the honu (sea turtles). That day, we were lucky enough to see seven large honu! After getting back on the boat, we headed home, and finally, snacks and drinks were provided. It’s better to eat breakfast before going, as the drinks offered were just bottled water and small juices, so if you need to stay hydrated, you might want to bring your own.
There was supposed to be hula as mentioned in the itinerary, but it was just a regular dance (laughs). I felt a bit surprised to be woken up for that while many people were tired and sleeping.
Normally, they serve burgers grilled on the boat, but due to a grill malfunction, we were given burgers from a well-known chain on the bus ride back. Honestly, I was a bit taken aback (laughs).
I was very satisfied with the number of dolphins and honu we saw, but I still dislike tours that force everyone to enjoy together, and even though there were unavoidable reasons for the food situation, it felt a bit lacking, so I rated it four stars. There were no issues with communication, as Japanese was spoken fluently.
Additionally, we received an eco bag for participating. It was quite useful in Hawaii, where you have to buy shopping bags, but I thought it was inconvenient that you have to go to the Dolphin University office in Waikiki to pick it up after the tour.
5回目のオアフ島。
今まで避けていたガッチリ日本人向けのオプショナルツアー。
理由は強制的に何かをさせられるから(笑)
苦手なんです。そういうのが。
でも自然のイルカを見てみたい。と思い立ち申し込みました。
ピックアップは早朝。5時台。
ピックアップ場所は案外少ないなと思いましたが、停車場を増やせば無駄に時間がかかるだけなので良いと思います。
元気なスタッフの方に出迎えられ、一時間程かけて西オアフ。
小錦の出身地ナナクリの港へ移動します。
バスの中では到着まで元気トーク。途中で注意事項の説明も行われます。
到着後船に乗り込みポイントまで行きますが、案外港から近いです。
到着前にハワイ語のオリ『E HO MAI』を唱えながらプルメリアの花を海に供えます。
歌詞は配られるので大丈夫です。
その後、イルカのポイントで海に入り、そんなにしないうちにイルカが登場。
スタッフの方も珍しいという程の沢山のイルカが私たちが浮いている下を泳いだり、近くで跳ねたり、ピーピーと会話をしています。
何度も見ることができました!
イルカの後はマカハ沖に移動してホヌ観察。
大型のホヌがその日は7頭も!これもラッキーだったみたいです。
船から上がったら帰路へ。その間にやっとバーとスナックとジュースが提供されますので、朝ごはんは食べて行くのがベターです。
ちなみに提供されるドリンクはペットボトルのお水と小さなジュースだけなので、水分を沢山取られる方が持参が必要かも。
途中、旅程表で書かれていたフラがありましたが・・・
普通にダンスです(笑)
疲れて寝ている人が多い中で起こされてこれ?という感じを受けました。
通常は船上で焼いたバーガーが提供されるようですが今回はコンロの故障のため、帰りのバスの中で某有名チェーンバーガーが提供されました。
正直、え?と思いました・・・(笑)
イルカとホヌは沢山観れたので大変満足ですが、
日本人向けのみんなで楽しみましょう!を強制するツアーがやはり苦手なのと
食の部分がやむ負えない理由があったにせよちょっと貧弱だったので違和感を感じ、星4つにしました。
日本語がバリバリ使えるので困ることはありません。
あと、参加したら頂けるエコバック。
買い物袋を購入しなくてはいけないハワイでは結構活用して便利でしたが、
ツアー参加後にワイキキのイルカ大学事務所へ行かないと頂けないのが不便だと思いました。

The weather was great, and I encountered a sea turtle along the way. Communicating with the horse was also enjoyable. They paired me with a smaller mare that matched my height. Since it's a Thoroughbred, I wondered if it used to be a racehorse! I had a wonderful experience.
天候にも恵まれて、途中ウミガメにも遭遇しました。お馬さんとのコミュニケーションも楽しいです。お馬さんは、わたしの身長に合わせて小さめの牝馬をパートナーにしてくれました。
サラブレッドですので、むかし競走馬だったのかな!とか思いながら楽しい経験できました。

This was a great adventure. My wife and I had a wonderful time.
The day started with a bus picking us up from Waikiki to get to Kaneohe Bay. It was short 25 min drive to get there. Once we got off the bus, we headed over to the boat area to join the crew. A tour guide (both Eng and Jpn) was present to walk us through the process the whole time. She walked us through some safety cautions and basic procedures, and the whole crew was very pleasant to be around the whole time.
The boat ride was a few minutes to get to the sandbar. That day, the water was up to our waist. Very refreshing experience to be out in the ocean and have sand to walk on. My wife practiced snorkeling while I walked around, explored, and took pictures. It was a gorgeous sight. Some of the other guests played volleyball in the sand/water, which looked like a lot of fun too.
Soon after, we went back onto the boat and were treated to good ol' barbecue lunch. Cheeseburger, beans, and pineapple. Nothing crazy, but it was nice and filling after an hour of excursion out in the sandbar. We then started traveling to the private reef. During the transit, we were able to witness few turtles and manta rays that swung by to say hi to our boat!
Once we got to the reef, we got basic snorkeling gears and were given about an hour to explore the reef. A little scary at first, but after getting in the ocean, it was a blast. The fishes are not afraid and they come very close to the swimmers. We were lucky enough to catch a turtle while we were swimming too. It was such a beautiful and refreshing experience.
All in all, I definitely recommend the experience to anyone that's visiting Hawaii. For first-timers, it's definitely a beginner friendly experience and you really get a variety of joyous adventures.

I love sharks, so I have swum with them domestically, but the sharks in this plan were not as large as in the promotional photos. I was disappointed.
However, another team that saw the sharks up close was very impressed and seemed to be generous with tips.
Also, the sea surface was very choppy for snorkeling, making it quite easy to get seasick. Since the boat can also cause seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication to avoid a double whammy.
サメが好きなので国内でもサメと泳ぐ等していたのですが、
今回のプランのサメは宣伝写真程大きくありません。期待外れでした。
ですが、初めてサメを間近で見た別の参加チームは非常に感動しており、チップも弾んでいたようです。
また、シュノーケルのため海面が非常に揺れ、大変酔いやすいです。
船も酔う可能性があるので、Wパンチにならないよう、酔い止めの服用をおすすめします。

Unfortunately, I didn't check the low tide times, so I couldn't experience the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to do my research before going.
The BBQ lunch meat we had on the boat was very delicious!! I would love to eat it again!
The staff were very kind and it was great.
残念ながら、干潮時間を調べて行かなかったので砂浜を体験することができませんでした。次回はしっかり調べて行きたいと思います。

I was looking forward to the Manoa Falls hike on this trip to Hawaii, but due to a landslide, it was closed on the day of my visit, so we had to take the alternative route to Aihualama Falls and the botanical garden.
Unfortunately, Aihualama Falls is much smaller than Manoa Falls, which was disappointing. I also wanted to see the banyan tree arch and other rustic plants along the way to Manoa Falls, but the alternative route was just a long walk through a well-maintained botanical garden, lacking the sense of adventure I had hoped for.
For those who want to avoid getting their clothes and shoes dirty, this alternative tour might be good, but for us, who were prepared to get dirty and excited about experiencing nature, it was a letdown.
While it's understandable that the Manoa Falls route is closed due to natural disasters, I believe the alternative Aihualama Falls route should be marketed as a completely different tour. It was very unkind to suggest that it was the same experience as the Manoa Falls route.
Unfortunately, the Kaimana Farm Cafe was also closed, and we ended up getting takeout bento boxes to eat at the hotel after the tour.
I can only say that the timing was unfortunate, and it was a disappointing tour.
今回のハワイ旅行で楽しみにしていたマノア滝ハイキングですが、土砂崩れで、訪問した日も閉鎖されていた為、代替のアイフアラマ滝と植物園のコースとなりました。
やはり滝の大きさは代替のアイフアラマ滝は小さく残念な感じでした。
また、滝よりもマノア滝に行くまでに見られるバニアンツリーアーチなど素朴な植物を見たかったのですが、代替コースは整備された植物園を延々と歩いていくだけでアドベンチャー感がなく期待していたものとは程遠かったです。
服や靴を汚したくない方には、今回の代替ツアーは良いかもしれませんが、汚れてもいい準備で気合入れて大自然を期待して参加した我々には拍子抜けで残念な内容でした。
マノア滝コースが閉鎖されているのは自然災害で仕方ないことですが、代替のアイフアラマ滝コースは、全くの別物のツアーであるという位置づけで、別ツアーとして案内した方が良いと思います。マノア滝コースと変わらない内容ですという案内はとても不親切だと思います。
カイマナファームカフェも運悪く閉店しており、テイクアウトのお弁当を解散時に貰ってホテルで食べました。
つくづくタイミングが悪かったとしか言いようがないですが、残念なツアーでした。
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closure of Manoa Falls. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Manoa Falls is now open.
この度は、マノアの滝閉鎖に伴い、ご迷惑をおかけし大変申し訳ありませんでした。また、貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。現在は、マノアの滝も開通しております。

I had made a reservation for an early morning tour, confirming that the tide would be low at that time. However, due to some trouble, I couldn't participate in the early tour. Thanks to the quick thinking of VELTRA, I was able to join a later morning tour. Although I couldn't walk on the sandbar, I was satisfied to encounter sea turtles.
午前中の早い時間であれば潮が引いていると確認してその時間に合わせて予約を入れていたのですがトラブルがあり早い時間のツアーに参加できませんでした。ベルトラさんの機転で午前の遅い時間のツアーに参加することが出来ました。サンドバーを歩くことはできませんでしたがウミガメと遭遇でき満足です。

I participated in a trip with my girlfriend. The general flow was picking up participants at various locations → a break at Dole Plantation → free time in Haleiwa → horseback riding experience. At Dole Plantation, the pineapple ice cream is a specialty and it was sweet and delicious. Haleiwa (in the photo) is a nice place where I could shop at the newly opened Snoopy limited edition store and enjoy gourmet food at a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp. I had no prior experience with horseback riding, but they kindly taught me how to ride. The horses were all calm and easy to ride. Being able to ride for over an hour while enjoying the scenery was a valuable experience. The guide was also very kind, the explanations were easy to understand, and they were friendly! It was a very satisfying tour.

Seven years ago, I wanted to participate in the Dolphin University, but I gave up on joining the tour because I thought there was no guarantee of seeing them in the wild. However, I’m glad I took the plunge and signed up this time.
Saki-chan, Nana-chan, and all the staff worked very hard to ensure that everyone could encounter dolphins. Thank you very much. Thanks to them, I was able to see both dolphins and turtles. The dolphins were adorable, and I had a long time with the turtles, which was very healing.
The staff's constant energy also lifted my spirits and made it fun. Thank you so much. It became a wonderful memory.
