I woke up early, swayed by the bus, and headed to the dock while rubbing my sleepy eyes. After offering a prayer to the sea, we set sail on our long-awaited dolphin search journey. Unfortunately, we couldn't see dolphins up close during the two dives, but we did see them jumping from the boat, and most importantly, we were lucky enough to witness the whale's courtship dance multiple times, which was satisfying! The instructors were very cheerful and really energized everyone, making it a lot of fun! I want to go again when I come back to Hawaii! I hope to see dolphins up close next time! ♫
朝早起きしてバスに揺られ、眠い目をこすりながら船着場へ向かいました。
海にお祈りを捧げて、念願のイルカ探しの旅へ出航です。
残念ながら二回のダイブではイルカを間近で見ることは出来なかったけれど、船からイルカが跳ねているところは見られたし、何より偶然にもクジラの求愛のダンスを何回も見られて満足です!
インストラクターの方々もとても明るくみんなを盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです!

I participated in mid-December. Since the pickup was expensive, I went by myself on bus number 55 from Ala Moana Center. I enjoyed a 2-hour walk with the horses and nature. It was my first time riding, but if you focus on your core, you won't get a sore backside. At the end, I thought it might be a bit long, but I'm glad it was 2 hours. It became the best memory! I thought I would like to participate again☆
12月中旬に参加しました。
お迎えは高いのでアラモアナセンターから55番で自分で行きました。お馬ちゃんと大自然を2時間のお散歩。
乗馬は初めてでしたが体幹を意識して乗ればお尻も痛くなりませんでした。最後若干長いかなって思ったけど2時間にして良かったです。
最高の思い出になりました!
また参加しても良いなって思いました☆

The tour schedule itself was quite fulfilling. However, on the day I participated, I was unfortunate as the tides were high and the waves were strong, resulting in about 1 meter of water on the sandbar. The shallowest part was up to my chest (I am 158 cm tall). It was colder than the scenery I had seen in photos, but I told myself it couldn't be helped. The snorkeling and sea turtle watching afterward were beyond my expectations. I was able to see many sea turtles, and it was my first time seeing such a large coral reef. The water level on the sandbar changes depending on the day, but I believe it's worth participating.
ツアー自体のスケジュールはかなり充実していました。ただ、私の参加した日は運が悪く、潮の満ち引きが大きく波が高かったため、サンドバーの水浸が1mほどありました。一番浅くて私の胸まで海に浸かっている状態です。(身長158cm)写真で見ていた風景とは異なり寒かったですが、それは仕方ないと言い聞かせました。そのあとのシュノーケリング、ウミガメウォッチングは想像以上のものでした。ウミガメもたくさん見ることができましたし、あれほど大きなサンゴ礁をみたのも初めてでした。日によってサンドバーの水浸が変わりますが、参加して損はないと思います。

It was sunny, but there was some wind and it was occasionally cloudy, so I was a bit hesitant to go into the sea. The sandbar was deep enough to reach my knees. Everyone was enjoying beach volleyball and taking photos there. I was glad that I didn't get wet up to my shoulders at that time. After getting back on the boat, it was cold and I was shivering. The BBQ lunch on the boat was delicious. We also saw sea turtles and were able to see fish while snorkeling. However, the strong wind made it difficult to swim as I had hoped.
晴れてはいたんですが風があったり時々曇ったり、海に入るにはちょっと抵抗がありました。サンドバーは膝上まで浸かるほどでした。そこでみんなはビーチバレーや写真を撮ったり楽しんでました。その時は肩まで濡れなくてよかったと思います。船に上がったあと寒くて震えます。船上でのBBQランチは美味しかったです。ウミガメも見れたし、スノーケリングでも魚も見れました。ただ、風が強いのでなかなか思ったように泳げませんでした。

If you're interested in movies like Jurassic Park, you'll find this experience fascinating. I made a reservation without transportation, but it's easy to get there by taking THEBUS number 55 from Ala Moana. It's only five dollars for a round trip.
On the day of the ride, we watched a Japanese video on how to ride before starting. It began immediately. There was another group of English speakers with us, and it seemed like the guide focused mainly on them, so we didn't understand much. That was quite disappointing. The guide only asked us simple questions like if we were okay or having fun. I wished they would guide us properly since I can understand English if spoken slowly. I took my mother, who loves Jurassic Park, and she was disappointed.
There is quite a bit of horse manure, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Leaves and droppings can stick to you.
The scenery was beautiful, and while two hours felt long, one hour might not be enough. For those without much stamina, two hours can be quite tough. I usually work out at the gym, so I didn't experience muscle soreness, but my mother, in her late 50s, was struggling partway through.
If you have weak legs, hips, or back, it's better to skip this or opt for the one-hour option. The sun can be intense, so an early morning ride might be best. You'll need to catch the 6 AM bus, which means an early wake-up, but it ends early too, so you won't waste time.
Each horse has its own personality; some just want to eat grass and won't follow at all, which adds to the fun. There were some dangerous moments along the way, so I think it's wise to get separate travel insurance. (Whether the horse got spooked or the reins were pulled too hard.)
ジュラシックパークなど映画に興味がある方はおもしろいと思います。
送迎なしで予約しましたが、アラモアナからTHEBUSの55番に乗ればいいので簡単ですよ。
往復でも5ドルです。
当日は日本語の乗り方ビデオを見てから乗馬。
即スタートです。
私たちの他に1組英語圏の方たちがいらっしゃり、英語が伝わるからかそちらのほうばかりにガイドしていてなんにもわかりませんでした。
そこがとても残念。
私たちに話しかけてくるのは大丈夫か?とか楽しい?とかそのレベル…。
英語でゆっくり話してもらえばわかるのでちゃんとガイドしてほしかったです。
ジュラシックパーク好きな母のために行ったので残念がっていました。
結構馬の排泄物が多いので捨てて帰っていいような服をオススメします。
葉っぱはつくし、糞などもつきます^^;
景色はとてもよく、2時間は長かったのですが1時間では物足りないかもしれません。
体力がない方は2時間はかなり厳しいです。
私は普段ジムで鍛えているので筋肉痛になりませんでしたが、50代後半の母は途中ヘロヘロになっていました。
足と腰、おしりの弱い方はやめたほうがいいです。
もしくは1時間にすることをオススメします。
日差しもキツいので、朝一番がいいかな。
6時のバスに乗らなければいけないのでかなり早起きになりますが終わるのも早いので、時間を無駄にせずいいと思います。
馬にはそれぞれ性格があって、草ばかり食べたり全然ついてこなかったりしますが、そこも楽しみです。
途中、危ない場面もあったので、別途海外旅行保険に入った方がいいと思いました。(馬が暴れたのか、綱を引っ張りすぎたか)

I participated in the 2-hour course. The great outdoors, with both mountains and the sea, is very beautiful. I usually don't drive at all—whether it's a bicycle, scooter, or car—so I was a bit anxious, but it was easy. The road near the starting point was rocky and bumpy, and I struggled with the handlebars at first. Once I got past that, I was able to navigate the course without any issues, perhaps because I got used to it, even though the road was rough. The accelerator is the type you press with your right thumb, so my thumb started to get tired after a while. Also, the dust was quite intense. When I wiped my face with the seat, it was pretty dirty. The instructor was kind and friendly. Thanks to the favorable weather, it was refreshing.
2時間コースに参加しました。
大自然で山も海もとてもきれいです。
普段、自転車や原付バイク、車など全く運転しないので不安でしたが、簡単でした。
スタート地点付近の道が石で、でこぼこしていて、最初ハンドルを取られました。そこを過ぎるとあとは慣れたためか、道が悪くても問題なくコースを回れました。
アクセルは右手親指で押さえるタイプなので、途中から親指が疲れてきました。

顔をシートで拭くとかなり汚れていました。

After about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus from Ala Moana, I finally arrived at a peaceful ranch for a horseback riding experience. The experience started at 11:00, and check-in was at 10:30. Since it was mentioned that it was a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I took an earlier bus and arrived by 9:15.
I was surprised to arrive so early, but I was able to relax and take a nap on a bench at the ranch until 10:30. Perhaps because it was a weekday, we were the only ones there, making it a private horseback riding stroll. Since Japanese was not spoken, I did my best to communicate in English. It was okay not to wear a helmet, and I received a brief explanation before getting on the horse right away!
It was very smooth and hassle-free, which was great, but it might not be suitable for those who want a thorough safety briefing in Japanese or for first-timers.
After about 50 minutes of exploring the ranch, I was able to take photos in a spot with a great view. I was really glad it didn't rain. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that refreshed my spirit!
アラモアナからザバスに乗って1時間45分くらい、やっとついたのどかな牧場で乗馬体験してきました。
11:00からの体験で10:30チェックイン、バス停から少し歩くとなっていたので、早めのバスに乗って行き、9:15にはついてしまいました。
早くつきすぎてビックリされてしまいましたが、10:30まで牧場のベンチでゆっくりお昼寝しできました。
平日だったからか、私たちしかいなく、プライベートな乗馬散歩になりました(^^)
日本語は通じないので、英語で頑張ってコミュニケーションとりました。ヘルメットしないでもokとのことで、本当に短時間でサラッと説明を受けてすぐ乗馬!
とてもスムーズで面倒くさくなくて良かったのですが、日本語でしっかり安全講習受けたい人や初めての人には向かないかもしれません。
50分くらい牧場内を散策して、見晴らしがいいところで写真も撮ってもらえました。
雨が降らなくて本当に良かったです(^o^)

The guide took some pictures for us, which became great memories.
The hamburger for lunch was substantial and very delicious.
After lunch, we swam for about an hour at the snorkeling spot.
It seems some people got stung by jellyfish, but the fish and corals were beautiful, and I was very satisfied.

When we had First checked in we were greeted by a nice lady and apologized and told my husband he was not wearing the proper attire for the night. He was wearing khakis and flip flops. The nice thing is they were accommodating going so far as letting borrow shoes and pants for the night. I was so happy cuz we had limited time and wouldn’t be able to reschedule. And it was my fault at not looking for a dress code when I booked it. Once we got on the boat we were greeted by the captain! He was super nice and well dressed (everybody was). The dancers, entertainment and food was AMAZING! Not to mention the excellent customer service they made sure they took care of all our needs. We will definitely do this again whenever we come back!

I learned about this tour on TV and thought it looked "thrilling and fun," so I participated with my mother as one of the memories of our trip to Hawaii. We took a bus to the location, dropped off our luggage, and put on our harnesses and helmets—ready to go! I felt a bit nervous as I received the instructions, thinking it looked manageable when I saw it on TV. However, seeing the height in person was surprisingly daunting! I also learned that I would have to attach my own harness to move around, which required a sense of balance and made me feel quite scared at first.
But as I got used to it, it became more enjoyable, and I started to feel excited about what kind of thrills were next. Whenever I felt anxious, the staff on-site were quick to help, which was reassuring. There was a final stage that resembled bungee jumping, but I couldn't do that part. However, the staff connected my harness to the rope, and I managed to swing and land on the ground. It was scary, but it was a unique experience that I was really glad to have. I used muscles I don't usually use and ended up with muscle soreness, but that too is a great memory!
テレビでこのツアーがあることを知り、”スリルがあり楽しそう”と思って今回のハワイ旅の思い出の一つにと母と参加しました。
バスで現地まで行き、荷物を預けて、命綱とヘルメットを着用し準備完了!
何だか本格的だなーとドキドキしながら説明を受けました。
テレビで見ていた時は、これぐらいなら余裕だと思っていましたが、高さを見て意外と高くてびっくり!!また自分で命綱をかけて移動するのも知り、高さとバランス感覚が必要なので初めは正直、怖かったです。
でも、慣れてくると面白くなってきて、次はどんなスリルがあるのかとちょっとワクワクしていました。
不安な時は現地の係の人がすぐに助けてくれるので安心でした。
最後のステージでバンジージャンプのようなものがあったのですが、それだけはできませんでしたが、命綱を係の人がロープに繋いでくれて、スイングして地面に何とか着地しました。
怖かったですが、こういう時しかできないのでとってもいい経験になり、やって良かったと思いました。普段使わない筋肉をたくさん使い、筋肉痛でしたが、それもいい思い出です!

I heard from a friend who has seen various shows in Hawaii that the Hilton's luau was absolutely fantastic, so I decided to go.
The day before, there was heavy rain, and I was worried it might be canceled (it mentioned indoor seating), but on the day itself, it was beautifully clear. However, since it was going to be evening, a jacket was necessary. With guaranteed front-row seats, we also had priority for the buffet, and an extra drink was included, so we really enjoyed the meal.
There were couples from all over the world celebrating their honeymoons and silver anniversaries, and it was fun to chat with everyone at the same table. Our seats were the fourth row from the front, and the dancers were visible from all directions, so I had no particular complaints. However, I was a bit put off by the amusement park-style photo sales.
Whether you go early or not doesn't make much of a difference, but I'm glad I opted for the guaranteed seating.

The number of sharks is definitely impressive. The experience is thrilling. However, since we went quite far out, I got seasick before we reached the point. Once we arrived, we had to wait our turn to see the sharks in groups, and I got even more nauseous during that time. Being in the cage, exposed to the waves while watching the sharks, made me feel even sicker. On the way back, I could hardly sit up and ended up collapsing on the boat. I had taken motion sickness medication, but it didn’t seem to help with the seasickness. Those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. Unfortunately, due to my own body’s reaction, the outcome was disappointing, but there were no faults in the tour itself, so I give it 4 stars.
サメの数はまちがいないです。すごい迫力です。

This is a review by an advanced rider, 1 intermediate and 2 beginners. First the drive from the west of the island takes about an hour to an hour and a half, but it's just beautiful. Our tour was in December and scheduled for 9am as a 1 hour walking tour. We arrived a bit early due to traffic being light. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and explained that they will need to grab the horses and tack up so we could wait by the picnic tables and the bathrooms were behind us. We had no problem waiting and a sweet dog named Sadie came to play fetch with us. It started to rain a bit once the horses were ready, we hadn't brought jackets but it wasn't very cold and it ended fairly quick. The guide asked our experience and explained how to ride to all of us and then began matching horses to people. I think she did an absolutely fabulous job. The tour started and each pair went along nicely and the guide was very informative about the ranch, landscape, and area. She was very friendly. The terrain and landscapes were just beautiful. Green everywhere, big green mountains with billowing clouds draping down them. Each rider enjoyed it, the horses kept the beginners so safe, and mine listened to my light cues well. The guide told us the trails run all over the ranch, so they don't always go on the same trails, this is what makes it great to me. You don't feel like you're on just another head to tail pony ride. It felt personal, it was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all, 10 out of 10! I recommend anyone looking for a horseback riding ride in oahu to here, get the morning tour, and relax in north shore afterwards. (great food is at any food truck)

The should have better explained the process. An example would have been better. Also, they should have been more encouraging to those who were uneasy in the water and refunded part of the cost if someone was unable to participate, especially since the water was very rough and it was raining.

The weather was nice on the day, and it was more fun than I had imagined. There were no scary things like I had worried about. The early morning plan is recommended as it allows you to make the most of your day. Next time, I would like to take commemorative photos from a higher place.
当日は、お天気も良く想像以上に楽しかったです。
心配していたような怖いことはありませんでした。
早朝プランは、1日を有効に使えてオススメです。
次回はもっと高いところから、記念写真をお願いしたいと思います。

Thank you for your assistance this time.
I felt reassured because I was attended to by Japanese staff.
I was very satisfied as I got to see many dolphins and there were sea turtles as well.
Unfortunately, it was rainy and very cold in the second half, but
that too is a good memory.
I look forward to working with you again.
この度はお世話になりました。
日本人スタッフが対応していただいたので安心しました。
イルカもたくさん見れて、ウミガメもいたので大満足です。
あいにくの雨で後半、すごく寒かったけど
それもまたいい思い出です。
またよろしくお願い致します。
Aloha!! KJN,
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.

I arrived a little early at the meeting place, and since it was a hot day with no shade, waiting was a bit challenging. I signed the documents and boarded the boat. The staff were all friendly. When it was our turn, we went up to a height of 120 meters and enjoyed the breathtaking view, which was very moving. I felt no fear of the height once we were up, so I think choosing 120 meters was the right decision. The view of Waikiki Beach and the blue ocean from the sea side was very impressive.
集合場所に少し早く着き、暑い日だったので日陰もなく待つのが少し大変でした。書類にサインをして、ボートに乗りました。係の方は皆フレンドリーでした。自分たちの番がきて120mの高さまで上がり、絶景を楽しみとても感動しました。上がってみて高さに対する怖さはありませんでしたので120mにして正解だと思いました。海側からみるワイキキビーチと海の青さがとても印象的でした。

We started our first parasailing adventure at 150 meters at 10 AM! There were five groups participating, including us. The 9 AM and 11 AM slots had fewer participants. After having a hearty breakfast (which I regretted later... haha), we were all set! Since we were staying at the Hilton, we could walk to the meeting point without getting lost. The guide spoke very little Japanese, but we managed with gestures.
With many groups, the time spent on the boat is longer, so it's better to take motion sickness medication! Also, keep breakfast light (laughs).
Once we took off, it was simply amazing!! It was a quick journey through the skies! My husband, who isn't fond of roller coasters or the feeling of flying in airplanes, was totally fine. We were both nervous before flying, but in the end, it became the best memory of our trip! (The photo is from when we were dropped into the sea before returning to the boat.)
10時から初めてのパラセイリング150mにチャレンジ!
私たちを入れて5組参加していました。9時と11時スタートは組数が少なかったです。
朝ごはんをお腹いっぱい食べ(後で後悔・・笑)、準備完了!
ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで迷わず歩いて行くことができました。
ガイドさんはほとんど日本語は話せませんが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります。
組数が多いと船に乗っている時間が長いので、酔い止めは飲んでいたほうがいいです!あと、朝ごはんはほどほどに(笑)
いざ、飛んでみると最高の一言!!あっという間の空の旅でした!
ジェットコースターや飛行機のふわっとするのが苦手な旦那さんも、ぜんぜん平気でした。
飛ぶ前は2人でびくびくしていましたが、最後には旅行の一番の思い出になりました!
