It's not often that you can ride for two hours, so I signed up without hesitation! We moved forward in a single line with a small group, and I was at the front. The horse is smart and remembers the course. I was so excited, thinking "Ah, this is the best!" but after about an hour, I started to feel a bit tired from enjoying it so much. We made our way back after an hour and a half. Riding really feels great.
It was very good, but the English explanation was only for the foreign guests coming behind us. Maybe they thought we wouldn't understand? Even if I didn't understand everything, I could pick up some words. That was a bit disappointing.
２時間も乗れることはなかなかないので、迷わずこれ！と、申し込みました。少人数で一列に並んで進みます。しかも先頭。賢い馬なので、コースも覚えています。あー、最高〜〜と、ワクワクして乗っていましたが、１時間を過ぎたぐらいから、堪能しちゃって、ちょっと疲れた感が。とっとこ進んで１時間半で、コース戻って来ました(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)でも、本当に乗馬は気持ちいいです。
とても良かったのですが、英語の解説、私たちの後ろを来る外国の方にのみ。どうせわからないと思ったのかな？わからなくても、単語は拾って聞き取れるのですが。そこがちょっと残念でした。

The cheerful crew really got everyone excited, and we were able to compete and take photos with other families on the same boat. When we actually flew, we were able to enjoy the best views, and it was a valuable experience. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone visiting Honolulu!
1. It's reassuring to put your phone in a waterproof pouch.
2. I think it's good for children to have motion sickness medication.
クルーの陽気な方がとても盛り上げてくれて、同じボートに乗る他の家族の方たちとも手を張り合ったり写真を取り合ったり出来ました。
実際に飛んだ時は最高の景色を眺めることができ、貴重な体験が出来ました。
ホノルルに遊びに行く人には是非オススメしたいです！
１つ 携帯は防水ポーチにいれると安心
２つ お子様は酔い止めがあるといいと思います。

I rode it once over 10 years ago. My impression at that time was quite good, so I decided to ride it again this time, but... I was disappointed because I couldn't see much. There were hardly any Japanese people on this trip, so the captain's talk was all in English, which I didn't understand well (^_^;) I wonder if it depends on the weather. I won't be doing it again.
10年以上前に、1回乗りました。
その時の印象が割りと良かったので、今回も乗ったのですが…
あまり、良く見えなくてがっかりでした。
日本人が殆どいない回だったので、船長の話しも英語オンリーで、良くわからん(^_^;)
天気にもよるのかな～
再度は無いですね。

This was my first time participating. There were two staff members accompanying us on the boat, both of whom were locals. One of the staff members spoke Japanese, albeit with a bit of difficulty. They were cheerful and had an interesting way of talking!
As for the parasailing, I joined the 110m program. Before taking off, the staff asked whether I wanted to land on the boat or be dropped into the sea. Since it was a special occasion, I chose to be dropped into the sea, which was fun!
The view from above was breathtaking, and I’m really glad I participated. Also, I think it’s essential to take motion sickness medication before getting on the boat to avoid causing trouble for the staff and other participants. Before participating, please make sure to read the precautions carefully, follow them, and ensure you are in good health.
初めて参加しました。船に同行するスタッフは2人、どちらも現地の方でした。
カタコトではありますが、スタッフのうち1人の方は日本語でお話ししてくださりました。明るい方で、トークが面白かったです！
パラセーリングの方ですが、110mのプログラムに参加しました。
飛ぶ前に、スタッフの方に船上に着地かそのまま海に落としてもらうかを聞かれました。せっかくなので海に落としてもらいました笑
上空から見る景色は絶景で、とても参加してよかったと思います。
また、スタッフの方、他の参加者に迷惑をかけないよう、酔い止めはボートに乗る前に必ず飲んでいた方が良いと思います。参加の前には、
注意事項をしっかりと読み、それに必ず従い、体調が整っている上で参加してほしいです。

I was worried about horseback riding for the first time, but the Japanese guide taught us carefully, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! During the bus ride, they talked about recommended shops and the town of Hawaii, allowing us to fully enjoy the day. The only disappointment was that we couldn't meet any sea turtles at Turtle Bay.
初めての乗馬で心配していましたが、日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださったので、安心して楽しむことができました！
バス道中でも、オススメのお店やハワイの街についてお話ししてくださり、一日満喫することができました(*´-`)
タートルベイでは、ウミガメに会うことができなくてそれだけが残念でした(´；ω；`)

I had a great time, so I’ll share some information for those who are new or considering a snorkeling experience. I hope this helps!
- The experience takes place on the left side as you exit the beach, where two blue umbrellas are set up. I confirmed at that time that fins are available for free (are they included in the experience plan?) so you don’t need to bring your own.
- Although it wasn't mentioned in the list of things to bring, if you are prone to motion sickness, especially seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some medication. The boat moves quite fast in the latter part of the experience, which might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of roller coasters.
- You can bring drinks, but it’s not necessary. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat (you pay when you disembark), so if you don’t want to carry extra items, I recommend buying them on the boat.
- During snorkeling, you can see schools of fish and turtles. I was able to see the turtles come up for air a couple of times, which was really close and exciting.
Wishing you a great experience!
楽しかったことは言うまでもないので、初めての方や、シュノーケリング体験を考えている方のための情報を書き込んでいきます。参考になれば幸いです。
・体験場所は、ビーチを出て左側に、青いパラソルが2つ並んだ場所で行います。
この時確認しましたが、フィン(足ひれ)は無料(体験プランの中に料金が入ってる？)で貸してくれるとのことでした。持参しなくても大丈夫でした。
・持参するものの中に書かれていませんでしたが、もちろん乗り物酔い、特に船酔いをする可能性がある人は、酔い止めを必ず飲んだ方がいいです。体験の後半かなりのスピードで船が移動します。ジェットコースターが苦手な方には、ちょっと怖いレベルかもしれません。
・飲み物は持参しても、しなくてもかまいません。船の中で有料(降りる時に支払います)で販売しているので、荷物が増えるのが嫌な方は船で買うことをオススメします。
・シュノーケリングについては、魚の群れや亀を見ることができます。亀は2回ほど息継ぎのため上がってきて間近で見ることができました。
良い体験になることを祈っております！

Sunscreen is a must. The staff were very kind, and I had a great time. The view from 150 meters is spectacular.

We experienced the 90-meter activity with my 10-year-old and 6-year-old sons. Since we had confirmed multiple times about doing it together as a group of three, I immediately checked with the staff, and they readily gave us the okay, which was a relief.
Perhaps because we were the first group, the duration was long, and the height was more than sufficient. They even provided a service where we were lightly dropped into the sea, and the staff spoke Japanese well, which made us very satisfied.
However, the other two families felt that their experience time was short, and one family who had signed up for the 150-meter height didn't feel much of a difference compared to us.
After the experience, my 6-year-old son was overjoyed and said he wanted to do it again.
10歳と6歳の息子と3人で90メートルで体験しました。
実施前に再三、3人での実施について確認していたため、スタッフにすぐに確認すると、あっさりオッケーをもらい、一安心。
1番最初だったからか、時間も長く、高さも充分過ぎるくらいでした。
しっかり、海に軽く落とすサービスもしてもらえたし、日本語も上手で、とても満足でした。
ただ、他のふた家族は、実施時間が短く感じたり、高さを150メートルで申し込んだという方と、自分達の差をあまり感じませんでした。
体験が終わると、6歳の次男が、またやりたくなってきたと大喜びでした。

We went on our honeymoon with another foreign couple. It was unfortunately rainy, but the guide contacted us early and suggested we dress in clothes that could get muddy, so I participated in shorts, a T-shirt, and comfortable sandals. I got completely muddy, and it felt great! (^ ^) The guide provided fun explanations in both English and Japanese while we walked, and also shared recommendations for shops and culture, which was really wonderful! I would love to join the dolphin tour next time, and I hope to have the same guide again.
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、外国人カップルとの4人でした。
あいにくの雨でしたがガイドさんが早めに連絡をくださり、泥だらけになってもいい格好でとの事だったので短パンにTシャツと歩きやすいサンダルで参加。

It was all a first-time experience and I was full of anxiety, but it was fun! However, for those who get seasick, please take medication in advance. The boat sways quite a bit, so it was a bit tough for the kids.

Before boarding ship, performers played fura dance, they made good moody.
This dinner was very good for me, especially I likeed roasted beef!
I enjoyed performance by singer and dancer, so I could join the teaching fura dance.
Of course, I could take a picture behind sunset on horizon.
Finally they celebrated us about honeymoon.
I participated in the 120m parasailing activity. The weather was great, and it was a beautiful and amazing experience.
The photos were taken by the crew and sold to us, but they allowed us to bring our own cameras, so everyone was taking pictures with their own cameras.
Also, since we could bring our cameras at our own risk, I was able to take a lot of photos from the sky. I am very satisfied.
I'm glad I participated!

I was very anxious about participating with my 4-year-old child who can't swim, but the staff said, "I'll take good care of you, so you just enjoy yourself," which I was really grateful for. They held my daughter securely both in the water and on the boat, and she seemed to feel safe.
The other people were also friendly and would check in on us, creating an easy-going atmosphere where it was comfortable to ask questions.
And we encountered dolphins! At a distance of about two meters! We came across a group of about eight, and two of them swam alongside me. They looked directly into my eyes, and I looked back at them… it was an unexpected moment of eye contact! It may have been a very brief time, but it felt like we were together for a long time in the blue sea, and I will never forget that memory. It was an event that made me realize that even in middle age, there are still things that can move me so deeply.
We also met a sea turtle. It was swimming leisurely and had an impressive presence.
I recommend renting a wetsuit. The first boat departs at 7:30 AM, and the wind after getting out of the water can be quite cold. My husband, who has a bit more body fat, didn’t seem cold at all, but my child and I felt chilly even in wetsuits. Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. The prestigious Dolphin University uses a double-hulled boat, so it doesn't rock much, but it's a good precaution just in case you start to feel unwell.
4歳の泳げない子どもを連れての参加でしたので、非常に不安でしたが、スタッフの方が「私がちゃんとケアするから、あなたはしっかり楽しんで」と言ってくださり、本当にありがたかったです。
実際、娘を海の中でも船の上でもしっかりと抱きかかえてくれて、娘も安心していたようです。
他の方々も、ことあるごとに声をかけてくださるし、何かあれば聞きやすいフレンドリーな雰囲気です。
そしてイルカ、出会えましたよ！ しかも２メートルくらいの至近距離で！ 8頭くらいの群れと出会ったのですが、うち2頭が私と並行に泳いでくれたんです。そして私の目をじっと見て、私も彼らの目を見て…まさかのアイコンタクト！ それはとても短い時間だったのでしょうが、音が一瞬聞こえなくなり、青い海のなかでとても長い間一緒にいたような気がしました。一生忘れられない思い出です。中年になっても、こんなに感動できることがまだあったのかと思うくらいの出来事でした。
ウミガメ先生にも出会えましたよ。ゆったりと泳いでらして、すごい貫禄でした。
ウェットスーツのレンタルはおススメです。第1便だと7時半出港ですから、水から上がったあとの風はかなり冷たいです。肉付きのよい夫は全然寒くなかったようですが、私と子どもはウェットスーツを着ていても寒かったです。
それから、酔い止めのお薬の持参をおススメします。名門イルカ大学は双頭船なのでさほど揺れませんが、気分が悪くなってはもったいないので念のためのお守りです。
Thank you for participating in the tour.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it.

I participated with my son. Since we used it a few days before summer vacation, my son, who is 10 years old, was the only child, but both adults and children enjoyed it.
It's quite a physically demanding tour, but it's fine for kids. Even those who can't swim were able to enjoy it with the support of the staff. I was thrilled to swim with dolphins on my third attempt. The place where we first dove was astonishingly beautiful, and that alone was moving. I also got to swim with sea turtles, and we had a lot of fun with sea kayaking, slides, and stand-up paddleboarding.
My son also had a great time playing with the staff. The hamburgers were excellent.
There were a few people who got seasick, so it's essential to take motion sickness medication if you participate. Even though my son and I usually don't get seasick, we took it just in case, and I think that was the right decision.
I purchased photos for $65 on a USB. If you download them, it's $60. There are about 500 photos from the entire tour that day.
息子と2人で参加しました。夏休みの数日前に利用したためか、子どもは10才のうちの息子のみでしたが、大人も子どもも楽しめました。
けっこう体力がいるツアーですが、子どもでも大丈夫。泳げない方もスタッフの方のフォローで楽しんでました。３回目のチャレンジでイルカと泳げて感激しました。始めにダイブした場所は海が驚くほどキレイで、それだけでも感動。海亀とも泳げて、シーカヤックやスライダー、サップもできてホントに楽しかったです。
息子もスタッフの方に沢山遊んでもらって良かったです。ハンバーガーも絶品でした。
船酔いでダウンの方も数名いらっしゃったので、参加の際は酔い止めは必須です。普段は酔わない私達親子も念のため飲んで行きましたが、正解だったと思います。
写真は65ドルでUSBを購入しました。ダウンロードだと60ドルです。その日のツアー全体の写真が500枚くらいになります。

Last year, I went to the sandbar, and this year, the timing of the low tide didn't match, so the water level was about waist-deep. There's nothing we can do about nature. At the sandbar, I had a great time playing beach volleyball with people from overseas and had a female guide take professional-level photos of me! Also, during the turtle watching, we saw turtles swimming gracefully, and the kids were overjoyed!!
After enjoying delicious hamburgers, we went snorkeling. Although the visibility was a bit poor, I was healed by the colorful fish that ate food from my hand!
The captain, the guide, and the crew were all very kind, making it a truly enjoyable tour! I will definitely come back!
昨年もサンドバーへ行きましたが、今年も干潮タイミング合わず腰下程度の水位でした。こればかりは自然の事なので仕方ない。サンドバーでは海外の人とビーチバレーしたり、ガイドの女性にプロ並みの写真撮って頂いたりと大変楽しめました！また、タートルウォッチングでは優雅に泳ぐカメが顔も出してくれて子供も大喜び！！
美味しいハンバーガーを食べた後は、シュノーケリング。こちらも透明度はやや悪かったものの、手からエサを食べてくれる色とりどりの魚に癒されました！

We had a wonderful morning kayaking! Our guide, Dan, was so knowledgeable about the island and made it a great experience. We got lucky and saw at least 10 turtles. I highly recommend this activity!
We are so happy that you and your group got to see so many Hawaiian Green Turtles!! We hope you will come back soon and visit us again.
The car that was supposed to pick us up was over 20 minutes late, which made me very anxious thinking we might be left behind...
Parasailing itself was incredibly fun! There wasn't anyone who spoke Japanese, but the guide made an effort to communicate, and despite not understanding everything, we had a great time.
If you're planning to do this, it's best to wear something that you can easily take off since there are no changing facilities. You'll need to change on the boat!
Also, if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. We saw about five groups, including ourselves, doing parasailing, so it can be quite intense.
迎えに来てくれる車が20分以上遅れてきたのが置いてかれたのかと思い大変不安に思いました…
パラセイリング自体はものすごく楽しかったです！日本語が話せる方がいなかったのですが、ガイドさんが頑張って話しかけてくれたりしてわからないながらに楽しく出来ました。
これからやる方がいれば、着替える場所がないのですぐ脱げるものを着ていった方がいいです。船の上での着替えになります！
そして、車酔い船酔い不安な方は酔い止め飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。自分達を含め5組ぐらいパラセイリングをやってるのを見るので結構しんどいです。

Participation of a 5-year-old boy alone
I read in other people's experiences that it was okay not to understand English, but in our case, we were in a group of five (four of whom were children from English-speaking countries), and there was no particular support, which made my son feel quite isolated. The instructor initially taught us about the size of the dolphins, but since we couldn't understand the words, we waited for what felt like thirty minutes for the explanation to finish. At one point, my son had a gloomy expression and said, "I don't understand what they're saying, so this isn't fun at all." I regretted participating in this program.
After that, we finally entered the pool and had a photo session with the dolphins, but compared to the other four, my son clearly had fewer poses. For example, we took turns kissing the dolphin for photos, but my son's turn was skipped. When it came to swimming with the dolphin for photos, he was skipped again. And when it was time to feed the dolphin for photos, he was skipped once more. I seriously wondered if this was some form of discrimination.
Still, I held onto a faint hope that they might take photos of him later, but as expected, my wish was not fulfilled until the end. He was skipped so many times that I thought about going to the reception to ask for photos, but by the time I circled the pool, the program had ended. I couldn't bring myself to ask to go back into the pool for photos again, so I gave up, but I felt regret and tears came to my eyes.
It seemed like he was ignored because he couldn't speak English.
Later, when we were choosing the photos to purchase, none of the poses I had initially requested were available, and there wasn't a single good photo, which was disappointing. I regretted coming all this way and paying a high price for the photos. I managed to buy a few photos, but every time I look at them, I feel sad, so I’ve put them away.
I apologize for the lengthy message, but if your child is going to participate, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they are fluent in English like a native speaker. I think it would be fine for adults.
５歳男子一人参加
他の方の体験談に、英語がわからなくても大丈夫と書いてありましたが、
うちの場合は5人グループ(うち4人は英語圏の子供達)で、
特にフォローもなく疎外感がかなり強かったみたいです。
インストラクターの方が、最初にイルカの大きさなどを教えてくれましたが
言葉がわからず、数十分(恐らく30分程度？)ひたすら説明が終わるのを待っていました。途中「何を言ってるかわからないから、ちっとも楽しくないね。」と暗い顔をしていたのでこのプログラムに参加したことを後悔しました。
そのあといよいよプールに入って、イルカと撮影をしてくれましたが、
他の4人と比べて明らかにポーズが少なかったです。
例えば順番ずつイルカにキスをする写真を撮るのですが、息子の番だけスキップされました。
順にイルカと泳ぎ写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
順にイルカに餌をあげる写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
これは人種差別なのか？と割と真剣に悩みました笑
それでも後から撮ってくれるかもと淡い期待をいだいておりましたが、
予想通り最後まで願いが叶うことはありませんでした。
あまりにスキップされるので、受付に写真を撮って欲しいと言いに行こうと思いプールをぐるりと周っている間にプログラムが終了しました。
まさかもう一度プールに入って写真を撮ってくれなんて言えませんでしたので諦めましたが、悔しくて少し涙が出ました笑
息子が英語が話せないから、存在を無視されていたようでした。
あとから購入する写真を選ぶのですが、最初に希望を伝えていたポーズも無く、良いものが一枚もなかったので落胆しました。
高いお金を払って写真を撮ってもらいに来たのに、と後悔しました。
なんとか写真を数枚購入しましたが見るたびに悲しい気持ちになるので、しまいこんでいます。
長くなりましたが、お子様が参加されるのであれば英語がネイティブ並みに堪能でないとおすすめしません。大人なら大丈夫だと思います。

While my husband was playing golf, my 9-year-old daughter and I participated together. My daughter usually handles quite intense roller coasters well, but this one seemed to scare her, and she was shaking while we were flying. It was more thrilling than I expected, but I enjoyed it.
The pickup was on time, and the guide only spoke English, but they really tried to lift everyone's spirits, which was fun. Overall, I'm glad we participated.

The staff seemed to speak some Japanese, and although all the other customers were foreigners, they spoke to us in broken Japanese. They were also very good at getting everyone excited and creating a lively atmosphere on the boat. They took photos during the parasailing, which can be purchased for $30 on an SD card. The quality of the photos was just okay. The parasailing experience itself was less bumpy than I expected, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

I participated in the premium Japanese guided tour from 10 AM with my 2-year-old child.
I had assumed the guide would be Japanese, but it turned out to be Jim, a tall Westerner who had previously lived in Japan and spoke very fluent Japanese. He was a gentleman with a kind personality, attentive to details, and very friendly towards children.
I joined this tour because I wanted to show my child the underwater world, so I didn't have high expectations for the tour itself based on the reviews. However, it was fun to see artificial reefs and sea turtles up close. I believe this was largely thanks to Jim's detailed explanations. As a licensed scuba diver, Jim had impressive knowledge, and his explanations were very thorough and enjoyable!
When I visit Hawaii next time, I definitely want to join this tour again, specifically hoping to have Jim as our guide. Thank you, Jim!
If you want to enjoy Jim's explanations on this tour, I recommend going down the stairs from the entrance on the right side when boarding the submarine to sit in the front row. You can also see the control seat and sit close to the guide, which is a great option!
10時〜のプレミアムの日本語ガイドツアーに2歳児を連れて参加しました。
てっきり日本人ガイドかと思いきや、ジムさんという長身の欧米人で、以前に日本に住まわれていた、とても上手な日本語を話される方でした。お人柄も紳士的で、細やかな気遣いをされる、子どもにも優しいとても素敵な方でした。
今回、子どもに海の中を見せてあげたく参加したので、口コミを見てツアー自体にはあまり期待はしていなかったのてすが、人工魚礁やウミガメを間近で見られて楽しかったです。それもやはりガイドのジムさんの細やかな解説のお陰かと思います。ジムさんはスキューバダイビングのライセンス保有者なので流石の知識量で、解説がとても細やかで楽しかったです！
次にハワイを訪れる際も、またこちらのツアーを是非ジムさん目当てで参加させて頂きたいと思います。ジムさん、ありがとうございました。
もし、このツアーでジムさんの解説を楽しみたいのであれば、潜水艦に乗り込むときに向かって右の入り口から階段を降りると先頭の席に座れます。操縦席も見られ、ガイドさんの近くに座れるのでオススメですよ☆

The weather was great, and the waves were calm, so as soon as we set sail, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! It was amazing to see dolphins coming from both directions! After that, we went snorkeling at a sea turtle spot, where we saw about four or five sea turtles, and our guide took some wonderful photos for us! The hamburger we had at the end was really delicious. The guides were all cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour!

This tour is greatly enjoyed by my third-grade child. We booked the submarine tour here for the second time, following last year. The deciding factor was that they offered late boarding times. In Hawaii, there are plenty of activities, allowing you to schedule various tours in one day. On this day, we had a packed itinerary, enjoying snorkeling at Hanauma Bay after climbing Diamond Head for sunrise, followed by the submarine tour. As far as I searched, the only option for a 3 PM boarding reservation (confirmed the next day after the request) was through VELTRA, which allowed us to have a fulfilling day. The issuance of the reservation confirmation and the transportation service are comparable to other companies, so I highly recommend it. There is a Japanese audio guide available on board, so there’s no need to worry.
小3の子供が大変気に入っているツアーです。昨年に続き、2度目の潜水艇乗船をこちらで予約しました。決め手になったのは、遅い時間の乗船予約が可能だったからです。ハワイでは、アクティビティが充実しているので1日に様々なツアーを組むことができ、この日もダイヤモンドヘッド日の出登頂後にハナウマ湾でシュノーケルを楽しんだ後の潜水艇ツアーと盛り沢山な内容でした。検索した限り、15時の乗船予約(リクエスト後、翌日に確定)はVELTRAさんだけでしたので、おかげで充実した1日を過ごすことができました。予約確定書の発行や送迎も他社ツアーと遜色ないので大変オススメです。艇内ではイヤホンによる日本語ガイドがあるので特に心配不要です。

Just before leaving for our trip to Hawaii, my child suddenly expressed a desire to go parasailing! Since time was tight and I was unsure about being tied up for more than half a day, I decided to choose a nearby tour that seemed to have a good reputation.
I hurriedly made a reservation before our departure, but thanks to the detailed communication and arrangements from the staff, we were able to have a wonderful experience within our desired time and budget.
On the day of the tour, we walked to the tour company's ticket booth before the meeting time (it was a hotel we could walk to), handed over the documents, signed the consent form, and off we went on the boat to the sea. I think the ride lasted just over 10 minutes, but seeing Hawaii from above was an experience beyond my imagination.
The captain made the harness fitting process enjoyable with jokes, which made me feel at ease. Since the sun was quite strong that day, sunscreen is definitely a must depending on the weather. Also, the boat swayed quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication beforehand would be a good idea.
The captain was full of humor, and the hour flew by from departure to return. If I have the opportunity next time, I would love to experience it again.
ハワイ旅行の出国寸前に突然子供からパラセイルをしたい！との要望が。
時間も迫っていたのと、半日以上拘束されるのもどうかなと思ったので、なるべく近場で更に評判の良さそうなツアーを選んでみました。
出国前にバタバタと予約を入れましたが、担当者の方の細かな連絡と手配により希望の時間と予算で素晴らしい体験を出来ました。
当日は、集合時間前にツアー会社のチケットブースにテクテク歩いて行き（徒歩で行けるホテルだったので）、書類を渡され同意書にサインをしていざボートで海へ。
時間的には10分強程度だったと思いますが、上空から見るハワイの空は想像以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
ハーネスの着用も船長がジョークを交えながら行ってくれて安心でした。
当日は日射しも強かったので、日焼け止めは天候によっては必需品かと思います。それと船で結構ゆらゆらと揺れるので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が安心かと思います。
船長もユーモアたっぷりで、出港から帰港まであっという間の１時間でした。
次回も機会があれば、又体験したいと思います。
