I made a reservation at the request of my mother, who is hesitant about diving and snorkeling.

We had a great time on the boat ride to the submarine, and the submarine that emerged from the sea was really cool!! The flow was smooth, and I think the pilot made sure there was no unfairness in seating positions! We were able to see sea turtles swimming from inside the submarine, and on the way back, we also saw dolphins! I thought it was a really valuable experience since the fish didn't escape as they do with snorkeling or diving!!

ダイビングやシュノーケルにおっくうな母のリクエストで予約しました。

潜水艦までのボートもすごく楽しむことができ、海中から現れる潜水艦はほんとにかっこよかったです！！
動線もスムーズで、座る位置での不公平がないように潜水艦を操縦してくださっていたのだと思います！
潜水艦の中からウミガメが泳いで行くのも見れて、帰りのボートではイルカもみることができました！
シュノーケルやダイビングより魚たちが逃げないのですごく貴重な体験だと思いました！！

The pickup time was around 10:45 instead of 10:30. I was worried if they were coming or if my reservation was not confirmed! They did arrive, but it would have been more enjoyable if they had come on time.

10時半のピックアップ時間が10時45分くらいでした。来るのか来ないのか、もしくは予約されてない？と不安なりました！
ちゃんと来てくれましたが、時間通りに来てたら楽しかったのになー

There are various dolphin tours, but this tour where we encountered sea turtles was excellent.
Although Honolulu has high prices and relatively few good restaurants, the lunch we had here (hamburgers) was delicious, especially since we were hungry from exercising. My 9-year-old daughter also enjoyed it and gave it high praise! It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

イルカツアーはいろいろありますが、ウミガメに出会える本ツアーは大変良かったです。
ホノルルは物価も高いわりにおいしいお店が少ないですが、
こちらでいただきました昼食（ハンバーガー）、運動してお腹がすいていたこともあり、ウチの9歳の娘も美味かった、と好評でした！
ハワイの良き思い出となりました。

It was my first time parasailing. They picked us up at our hotel, and we departed by boat near the Hilton Hotel. I really appreciated that there was no wasted time during the waiting and travel, allowing us to make the most of our valuable time during the trip. Everyone who participated was friendly and had a great time. When it was our turn and we moved on the boat, the staff kindly escorted us, so we felt no anxiety during the setup and enjoyed sailing in the beautiful sky of Waikiki. We went up to 150 meters, and it was absolutely amazing without any fear. The splash back into the sea on the way back was also a lot of fun! I will definitely participate again when I come back to Waikiki.

初めてのパラセーリングでした。宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来ていただき、ヒルトンホテルの近くからボートで出発、待ち時間や移動時間に時間もかかることなく、旅行中の貴重な時間を無駄なく利用できたのがとても良かったです。
参加された皆様も和気あいあいと楽しくて。自分たちの順番が来て、ボートの上を移動するときも係の方が優しくエスコートしてくださって不安なくセッティングも完了して素晴らしいワイキキの空をセーリングしました。
私たちは150メートルでしたが、怖さも全然なくとても素晴らしく感激でした。戻る時の海にボチャン！がまた楽しかったです！
またワイキキに来た時には是非参加します。

I participated because I could interact with dolphins. Although the weather was unfortunate, I had a great time. I was surprised by how eager the dolphins were to engage during the dolphin touch and photo session! The kids had big smiles too!

イルカと触れ合えるとのことでの参加。
あいにくの天気でしたが、楽しく過ごせました。
イルカタッチと記念撮影ではあまりにもイルカがサービス精神旺盛でびっくり！
子供たちもいい笑顔出てました！

I was really anxious since I was participating alone, but the pickup driver was friendly and spoke to me in Japanese, which made me forget my worries because he was really funny. The person who actually taught us how to surf didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. The waves were small, so I was able to stand up, but if I could wish for something, I would have liked to ride slightly bigger waves for a longer time. I also enjoyed the conversation with the staff who spoke Japanese after we finished. Everyone on the staff was nice, and I'm satisfied with my choice to surf here for my first time. Additionally, there was a note in the email advising not to bring valuables, so I didn't take any money and couldn't give a tip, but it seems fine to bring valuables since you can store your belongings inside the shop!

１人参加でしたので凄く不安でしたが、ピックアップのドライバーの方が気さくに日本語で喋りかけてくれてしかも凄く面白くって不安だった気分を忘れさせてくれました。実際にサーフィンを教えてくれる人は日本語喋れませんが特に問題はなかったです。小さい波なので立てる事は出来ましたが欲を言えばもう少し大きい波で長く波に乗りたかったです。終わった後に日本語の話せるスタッフとの会話も楽しかったです。スタッフの方はみんないい人で初めてのサーフィンにここを選んで満足しています。後、メールで貴重品は持って来ないよう注意書があったのでお金を持って行かなかったのでチップをあげれませんでしたが荷物は店の中に預けるので貴重品持って行っても大丈夫そうですよ！

It was cold.
But I was glad to see the sea turtles.
It wasn't the morning tide, but the sea was beautiful,
and I was happy.
I want to go again!

寒かった。
でもウミガメが見れて良かった。
朝潮ではなかったけど海が綺麗で
良かったです。
また行きたいです！

I was worried about departing due to the rainy season, but fortunately, the weather was nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset over the sea from the ship, which became a wonderful memory! The crew members were cheerful, and I enjoyed some light snacks (like chips and bread) to satisfy my hunger, making it a fun experience!

雨期のため出港するか不安でしたが、運よく天気も良く船上から綺麗な夕日を海から見ることができ、とても良い思い出になりました！船員の方たちも陽気で、軽食(チップスやパンなど)で小腹も満たされ、楽しかったです！

I participated in a plan that included transportation. The pickup was about 20 minutes late. After we got on, there were more pickups, but there was no place to stop, so we kept going around the same area, which I think caused the delay.

They come with a smaller microbus, which has a flashy zipline photo printed on it, making it easy to recognize. The ride lasts about an hour and a half.

Due to the influence of television, despite the reviews saying there are hardly any Japanese people, we went as a party of eight, consisting of four Japanese groups. There were three instructors, and everything was in English. However, we could communicate through gestures.

There are points along the way to hydrate and get snacks like tomatoes and bananas.

We took a buggy up to the summit and then zipped down, so the view was amazing! The distance is long, so I think there's a sense of satisfaction from each run. However, I got a little bored halfway through (sweat).

We started at 11:00 and finished at 13:00, but the driver asked if we were hungry and stopped at a nearby 7-Eleven.

I gave each instructor a tip of $10. I don't think two groups tipped. I didn't tip the driver.

The instructors took photos at key points with their smartphones and later emailed them to us, offering to sell the data. It was $45 for 16 shots. Of course, we could check them before purchasing, and just seeing them was enough for me.

送迎ありのプランで参加しました。
ピックアップの時間は20分くらい遅れてきました。私たちが乗った後もピックアップがあったのですが、止める場所がなくグルグル同じ場所を回ってたのでその辺りが遅れた原因かと思います。
小さめのマイクロバスで来るのですが、ジップライン写真がプリントされていて派手なので分かりやすいと思います。
乗っている時間は1時間半くらいかな。

テレビの影響か、口コミはほとんど日本人がいないという割りに日本人4組の8人パーティで行いました。
インストラクターさんは3人で、全て英語です。でも、身ぶり手振りで意思疏通はできます。
途中で水分補給やトマト、バナナなど補給できるポイントがあります。

バギーで山頂?まで登って、そこからジップラインで下ってくるので景色は最高です!
距離は長いので1本の満足感はあると思います。でも、私は途中でちょっと飽きちゃいました(汗)

11時スタート、13時アップだったのですが帰りのドライバーさんがお腹減ったか聞いてくれて、途中にあるセブンイレブンに寄ってくれました。

チップはインストラクターにそれぞれ10＄ずつ渡しました。2組は渡してなかったと思います。ドライバーさんには渡していません。

インストラクターが要所要所でスマホで写真を撮ってくれていたにですが、後日メールで送ってきてくれて、データを販売してくれます。16カットで45＄でした。購入する前にもちろん確認出来るので、それを見るだけでも私は十分でした。

It was my very first time surfing. First, I watched a video, and then I received a lecture from the instructor on the beach. I was anxious about whether I could do it, but I managed to stand up on my first try. I think it's great for beginners.

全く初めてのサーフィンで、最初にビデオを見て、そのあとビーチでインストラクターからのレクチャー。
これで出来るのか不安でしたが、見事一回目でたてました。
初めてやる方にはいいと思います。

This was such an awesome experience! Way more fun than we could’ve ever imagined. Definitely will be doing this again. Our Captain and crew were amazing.

Watching the parasailing looked very enjoyable, but I had always avoided it because I couldn't imagine the feeling of not having my feet on the ground. This time, my friend encouraged me to try it for the first time, and I joined in.

To be honest, the fear was only at the beginning, and I gradually got used to it. The sea breeze was pleasant, and I was able to look out over the city, so I'm glad I gave it a try.

However, the downside was the very long wait times. A lot of time was spent waiting to get on the boat (I would like to know how long the wait is beforehand) and then waiting for my turn once on the boat.

Additionally, the prices vary depending on the height, but the names were a bit unclear, and from the boat, it looked like everyone was flying at the same height (the flying time was also about 4 to 5 minutes, right?). That left me a bit puzzled.

パラセイリングを見ているととても気持ちよさそうに思いますが地に足が付かない感覚が想像できず今までずっと避けていました。今回はお友達にデビュ－するべきと誘われて一緒に参加しました。
実際のところ怖いのは最初だけでだんだん慣れてきました。海風が心地よく街の方を見渡したりできてやってみてよかったと思います。
ただ残念なのは待ち時間が非常に多いこと。ボ－トに乗るまで（どのくらいの待ち時間かを先に知りたい）とボ－トに乗ってからの順番待ちには大半を費やします。
また高さごとに価格も異なりますが名前の確認も曖昧だったしボートから見ているとみんなが同じ高さに飛んでいるようにも見えたので（飛んでいる時間も4～5分くらいで同じ？）そこはちょっと疑問に感じました。

Shortly after departure, while everyone was offering prayers to the blue sea, dolphins began to swim nearby. When we hurriedly entered the water together, we could see the dolphins swimming!

During snorkeling, we were also able to see sea turtles and many fish.

Communication was perfectly fine in Japanese. There was even a morning call on the day, which was really kind. Above all, the crew members were truly friendly and cheerful. They ensured safety while we were in the water.

I'm in my mid-50s, but I can't swim, I'm scared of the ocean, and I was worried about seasickness. However, with the wetsuit rental and life jacket, I wasn't cold and didn't sink! I took motion sickness medication in advance, so I was fine on both the bus and the boat.

The sparkling blue sea, hula dancing, ukulele performances, and the burgers we ate on the boat were all delicious, packed with fun.

I no longer fear the sea or the boat! Thank you so much to all the staff. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This is a tour I want many people to join! Dolphin & You, which is gentle to the sea, marine life, and people, is the best!

出航間もなく、青い海にみんなでお祈りを捧げているうちに、イルカたちが近くを泳ぎはじめました。
みんなでちょっと急いで海に入ると、イルカたちが泳いでいるのが見えましたー(^^)

シュノーケリングではウミガメやたくさんの魚たちも見ることができました。

連絡はすべて日本語で大丈夫。
当日はモーニングコールもあり、本当に親切です。
なんといってもクルーの皆さんが本当にフレンドリーで、ニコニコ。そして海ではしっかり安全を確認してくれています。

私は50代半ばですが、泳げないし、海はこわいし、船酔いも心配でしたが、ウェットスーツレンタルにライフジャケットなので、寒くないし沈みません！ 酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおいたらバスも船も大丈夫でした。

キラキラの青い海、フラダンス、ウクレレ演奏、船の上で食べるバーガーも美味しくて、ぎゅぎゅっと楽しさが詰まっていました。

海も船もこわくなくなりました！
スタッフの皆様本当にありがとうございました。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
たくさんのみなさんに参加していただきたいツアーです！
海にも海の生き物にも人にも優しいドルフィン＆ユー最高です(^^)

You can easily make reservations from your iPhone! Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive an email. I went from the Sheraton, and the bus stop was easy to find. Your name will be called in English, and you will receive a wristband (for the dolphin experience). The scenery from the bus is also breathtaking. When you arrive at the park, there are two Japanese staff members who are very kind and provide thorough explanations! I chose the most affordable course to interact with the dolphins, and I even fed them. It was a truly precious experience, and I would like to swim with the dolphins next time. The park is compact, but there are turtles, penguins, sea lions, and birds, and you can also feed the fish and birds! It was very easy to make a reservation, and I was able to enjoy everything smoothly! Thank you!

I'm a 25-year-old woman. This time, I traveled with a female colleague. I made a reservation for horseback riding because the reviews were good. I regret not booking an early reservation for a tour that included movie locations and a buggy ride, as it would have been even more fun. I was hoping for good weather, but in the end, I didn't make a reservation until the day before. Since it was last minute, there were only spots available for the 2-hour horseback riding course. However, I didn't hesitate to book because of the positive reviews.

The bus ride was smooth, and we arrived at the location. The atmosphere at Kualoa was great, and it really lifted my spirits. Since it's a ranch, it does have a smell. There were a lot of horses, and the constant urination and defecation were shocking and made me laugh. However, I am quite sensitive to smells, so it was pretty tough for me.

Also, regarding the helmets that everyone mentioned, they were quite bad. They smelled, were wet, and felt uncomfortable. As for the horseback riding itself, there were moments when I got a bit bored, but overall, I thought it was good. However, I don't think I'll ride again (laughs).

25歳女です。
今回は会社の同僚と女2人旅でした。
乗馬の口コミが良かったので、予約しました。
早期予約をして、映画ロケ地やバギーがついたツアーにしていれば更に楽しかったと後悔。
天気がどうせなら良い日に〜なんて思ってたら結局予約することなく、、、前日に予約しました。
やはり、前日ということもあり空きもなかったのか乗馬2時間コースのみでした。
ただ、口コミが良かったので予約することに躊躇はありませんでした。
バスはスムーズに乗れ、現地に行けました。
クアロアの雰囲気も良くテンション上がりました。
牧場なので臭います。馬がたくさんいて放尿・脱糞だらけなので衝撃続きで笑えました。
ただ私は臭いにかなり敏感で結構辛かったです。
あと、皆さんが書かれてたヘルメットについてですが、、かなりやばいです。臭いし濡れてるし気持ち悪かったです。
乗馬自体は、少し飽きたりする部分もありましたが良かったと思います。
ただ、もう乗らないとは思いますが(笑)

I had never seen dolphins in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in this tour. We set off early in the morning, heading to the west coast of Oahu, a place I had never been before. The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful.

During the three snorkeling sessions, we tried to find a pod of dolphins in the first and second sessions, and we encountered dolphins in the first session. I was moved to see a pod of dolphins with a baby. In the second session, my husband and I missed the chance to see dolphins because we were late to jump into the water from the boat.

The third session was a visit to a sea turtle habitat. Because we knew the right spots, we quickly encountered three sea turtles. I had seen turtles before in Hanauma Bay and on sandbar tours, but I had never met such large turtles as these. It was fun to swim while being rocked by the waves.

Due to certain circumstances, there was no lunch on the boat, but since the boat was quite rocky, it was a good decision to eat after returning to the port. I think it's better for those who are worried about seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.

Although it was a short time, it was a fun tour where we also challenged ourselves to stand-up paddleboarding on the sea. Additionally, having a Japanese guide accompany us from the shuttle bus to the sea provided a sense of security. If I have the opportunity, I would like to enroll in the manta ray university on the Big Island.

ハワイでイルカを見た事が無かったので参加しました。
早朝から出発し、向かったのは今まで行ったことが無かったオワフ島の西海岸。
天気は曇りでしたが、海は綺麗でした。

計３回のシュノーケリングのうち１回目と２回目はイルカの群れを探してトライしますが、１回目でイルカに遭遇。
赤ちゃん連れのイルカの群れを見れて感動しました。
２回目は船から海に飛び込む順番が遅かったので、私たち夫婦はイルカを見る事が出来ませんでした。

３回目はウミガメの家を見学です。
ポイントを把握されてるせいで直ぐに３匹のウミガメに遭遇。
今までハナウマ湾やサンドバー・ツアーでカメを見た事はありましたが、ここほど大きなカメに出会った事はありませんでした。
一緒に波に揺られながら泳げて楽しかったです。

諸事情で船上ランチはありませんでしたが、船の揺れが多かったので、港に戻ってから食べて正解でした。
船酔いが心配な方は酔い止め薬を持参した方が良いと思います。

短い時間でしたが、海上でのＳＵＰにもチャレンジしたり楽しいツアーでした。
また、日本人のガイドさんが送迎バスから海まで同行してるので安心感もありました。
機会があれば、ハワイ島のマンタ大学にも入学してみたいと思います。

I think it was great that almost no Japanese people were on the bus, and even on the boat, we didn't encounter any Japanese, which made it feel very foreign despite being in Hawaii. We were able to connect with people from various countries on the bus, all in English, and it was nice to wrap up our last night in Waikiki together as a family on this tour.

日本人がほとんどバスに乗ってなくて、船の中でも顔をあわさずハワイなのに日本人に遭遇することなく外国感満載で、英語オンリーでバスの中でも色んな国の人たちと一体感になれてワイキキ最後の夜を家族全員でこのツアーで締めくくれたのは良かったと思う。

They played Western music on the boat, and the crew really got everyone excited! The view from above was also amazing! Starting at 8 o'clock meant there were fewer participants, so it wrapped up quickly, which was great.

船の上では洋楽流してクルーの方が盛り上げてくれました！
上空からの景色も最高でした！
8時スタートだと参加人数も少なくてサクッと終われてよかったです

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and it was both of our first times experiencing parasailing. The meeting point was a bit unclear, and our ride didn't arrive on time, which made for a rather anxious start. The bus driver hardly spoke any Japanese.

However, once we boarded the boat and set off, two handsome staff members provided explanations in simple Japanese, which really lifted our spirits and made the experience enjoyable.

I had researched beforehand that they offered to take photos for $30, so I asked them right before we started, and they provided the data on an SD card. When we checked after returning home, we found over 100 photos, which became wonderful memories. Unfortunately, due to the splashes from the waves, there were some water droplets on the lens.

It's essential to take motion sickness medication, as the boat sways quite a bit.

新婚旅行で2人とも初めてハワイに行き、パラセイリングを体験しました。
集合場所が曖昧だったのと、時間通りに迎えが来ず、かなり不安なスタートでした。バスの運転手さんはほぼ日本語は通じませんでした。
しかし、いざ船に乗って出発すると、スタッフのイケメン2名の方は簡単な日本語で説明してくださり、テンションを上げて楽しませてくれました。
事前に30ドルで写真を撮ってくれることを調べていたので、直前にお願いして撮ってもらい、SDカードでデータをもらいました。帰国後に確認すると100枚以上撮ってあり、かなり良い想い出になりました。これは仕方ないですが、波の水飛沫でレンズに水滴が付いてました。
かなり船が揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。

It was awsome!!
BUT the flight time is much shorter than I expected.
I was not 6 min but 5 min according to iphone video.

I had experience with a mid-sized motorcycle, and I was worried about the heavy handlebars, but it was fine! The roads are unpaved in nature, so my face got covered in dust from the dirt (^_^;) If you want to avoid that, it might be a good idea to bring something to cover your face, like a bandana or mask.

Riding through the magnificent scenery was the best and felt amazing!

中型バイク経験があったけど
ハンドルが重くて、どうなることかと思ったけど、大丈夫でした！
自然の中の道なので舗装されてないし、土ぼこりで顔がホコリまみれ(^_^;)
そうなりたくない方は、バンダナやマスクなど顔を覆う物持参した方がいいかも

雄大な景色の中を走れて最高気持ち良かったです！

During my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to fulfill my wife's wish to participate in an activity that was introduced on a certain TV program, which was both shocking and exciting! I personally am not very good with heights, and I usually can't handle fast rides or anything that involves falling, so I had some anxiety. However, the staff were friendly and took safety seriously, which allowed me to trust them.

Taking that first step to jump was scary, but the speed wasn't too intense, and once I got to see the breathtaking views, I felt completely fine! Since the staff communicated entirely in English, it was a bit challenging for us to understand with our limited English skills, but it was very reassuring that some Japanese participants in our team provided additional explanations.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

初めてのハワイ旅行にて、某テレビ番組でも紹介されて衝撃的かつ刺激的だったので是非とも参加したいという妻の希望に応えたく参加させていただきました！
僕自身高所もあまり得意ではなく、速いだの落ちるだの絶叫系はもっぱらダメなので不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々が気さくな感じと、安全性にもしっかり配慮されていたので身を任す事が出来ました。
飛び出す一歩は怖いけど、スピードもそれほどキツくなく、絶景を見れたらそんなことは全然大丈夫でした！
スタッフの方々がすべて英語での対応だったため、僕らの英語力では理解が難しかったですが、同じチームに日本の方々が説明を加えていただけたのもとても心強かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいですね！

It was a very memorable day. I was moved to swim in the large, beautiful ocean of Hawaii and encounter many dolphins and sea turtles. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii.

とても記念になる1日になりました。ハワイの大きくて綺麗な海で泳げたこと、そして、たくさんのイルカやウミガメと出会えて感動しました。またハワイに来たら参加さしたいです。

At the sandbar, we practiced volleyball and snorkeling, and for lunch, we had hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff. We also saw sea turtles, and the actual snorkeling experience was amazing with so many fish. It was the best tour! No need to worry about language at all! Sunscreen is a must! ☀️☀️☀️ The guide was also a funny person and kept us entertained during the boat ride.

サンドバーにてバレー、シュノーケル練習、お昼はスタッフが焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガー
ウミガメも見れて、実際のシュノーケリングもたくさんのお魚が見れて最高のツアーでした
言葉の心配も一切必要なし！
日焼け止めは必須です☀️☀️☀️
ガイドさんも面白い方で船の移動中も楽しませてくれました

私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。

It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.

A landslide occurred a few days before our participation, which resulted in the trekking route to Manoa Falls being closed, so we ended up trekking at the nearby Lyon Arboretum.

As it is a botanical garden, the paths were well-maintained and easy to walk on. We arrived at the waterfall in about 40 minutes while listening to our guide share stories about Hawaii's history. Although it wasn't a large waterfall, we were lucky that the rain from the previous day had increased the water flow a bit.

There were many plants I had never seen before, and I stopped to take photos... during which I got bitten by mosquitoes. Even with insect repellent spray, it seems like it's better not to stay still.

After trekking, we drove to Kaimana Farm Cafe for lunch. The portion sizes were just right, and the food was very delicious.

参加の数日前に地滑りが発生してマノア滝がへのトレッキングルートが閉鎖されてしまったため、すぐお隣の Lyon Arboretum のトレッキングとなりました。
植物園ということだけあって、道はよく整備されていて、歩きやすかったです。
ガイドさんからハワイの歴史も聞きながら40分くらいで滝に到着。大きな滝ではないのですが、前日の雨でちょっとばかり水量が増えていたのでラッキーでした。
見たことのない植物ばかりで足を止めては写真を撮り・・・その間に蚊に刺されました。虫除けスプレーはかけても刺されるようなので、じっとしない方が良さそうです。
トレッキングの後は車で移動してカイマナ・ファーム・カフェでランチ。量もちょうどよく、とても美味しかったです。

The bus was fully booked for departure. It’s quite popular, after all.

At first, it was difficult to find the sea turtles, but thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to see quite a few once I got the hang of it.

As for the main sandbar, it didn’t appear at all because it was out of sync with the low tide. (Even in shallow areas, the water level was about waist-high.)

Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about it, but I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined something like the pictures.

バスは満席での出発でした。やはり人気ですね。
ウミガメは最初は探すのが難しかったですが、ガイドさんのアドバイスもあり、慣れれば結構たくさん見ることができました。
メインのサンドバーですが、干潮の時間とズレていたのでサンドバーは全く出現しませんでした。（浅いところでも水位は腰の高さほどありました）
自然のことなので仕方ないですが、イメージ写真のようなものを想像していたので、少しがっかりした面もあります。

Finally, after watching the DVD, it was time to start horseback riding. It was very quick from putting on the helmet to the start of the tour, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. The ocean and mountains provided the best locations for photos! As expected from Kualoa Ranch! It was a bit cute to see the horse eating grass along the way and getting scolded by the guide.

This was my first time riding, and I went straight into a two-hour course, but since the horse walked slowly, my backside didn't hurt too much, and it didn't bother me the next day. The scenery was truly breathtaking. Surrounded by green mountains and feeling the wind from a high position was very pleasant, and the horse was well-behaved, so I felt safe riding.

Even as a beginner, I felt the horse was well-trained and smart because it responded quickly when I pulled on the reins. However, there were six of us on the tour, and the guide mostly talked to the experienced English-speaking rider at the back for most of the time. Since I chose horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I wanted everyone to learn about its history and qualities together.

My English isn't that great, but I can speak simple phrases, so I wish I could have enjoyed both riding and conversation a bit more during this wonderful opportunity. It might be part of the guide's job to keep an eye on the members from the back, but as someone who was at the front, I felt lonely without someone to share this amazing view with.

DVDを鑑賞するといよいよ乗馬開始。
ヘルメットをつけてからツアー開始まではとてもスピーディですが、不思議と怖さはなかったです。海、山、どれを撮っても最高のロケーション！さすがクアロアランチ！お馬さんが途中で草を食べてしまってガイドに怒られてる姿も少し可愛かったです。
今回、はじめての乗馬でいきなり２時間コースということでしたが、ゆっくり歩いてくれるのであまりお尻も痛くならず、次の日までは響きませんでした。何と言っても景色の良さに感激です。緑の山々に囲まれて、高い位置から風を感じるのはとても心地が良く、お利口さんなお馬さんだったので安心して乗っていられました。
初心者の私でも手綱を引っ張るとすぐに言うことを聞いてくれるのでよく躾けられていて賢いと感じました。
だだ、今回6人でツアーだったのですが、ガイドさんが後ろの方の英語が話せる乗馬経験者の方だけとツアー中ほとんどの時間を話していました。せっかくクアロアランチでの乗馬を選んだので、クアロアランチの歴史や良さについて全員で勉強したかったです。
英語はそこまでうまくありませんが、簡単なものであれば話せるので、せっかくの機会だったのでもう少し乗馬と会話の両方を楽しみたかったなと思います。
ガイドの方は後ろからメンバーを見ることも仕事のうちなので仕方ないのかもしれないですが、先頭を歩いていた私としては、この素晴らしい景色を共感できる相手がおらず寂しかったです。

Awesome show! Went to another luau a few years ago at the Polynesian Culture Ctr and was bored! But this show was 100% better and this show flows.

My wife and I had a great time at your show well worth the evening
