My first surfing experience became a wonderful memory. Before I started, I was worried about whether I could ride the waves, but the instructor taught me patiently, and I was able to enjoy surfing with my friends. Some of the instructors spoke Japanese, so even if you're not very good at English, I think you'll have a great time. I was able to have photos taken while I was surfing, and I received them for free afterward. It was a bit disappointing that it was cold. Next time, I want to be able to ride bigger waves.

初めてのサーフィンは、良い思い出となりました。始める前は波に乗れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき、友人と楽しくサーフィンをすることができました。インストラクターの方の中には、日本語を話すことのできる方もおられ、英語があまり得意でなくとも、楽しめると思います。サーフィンを体験しているときの写真を撮ってもらうことができ、終わった後に無料でいただくことができました。寒かった点が少し残念でした。次回はもう少し大きな波に乗れるようになりたいです。

I participated in a 120M parasailing with my daughter early in the morning. Under the guidance of two cheerful instructors, we headed out to the vast ocean.

Parasailing while gazing at Diamond Head was amazing. The 8 minutes felt incredibly long. I was a bit concerned about seasickness, but it wasn't a problem at all. It might have been due to the waves that day.

Thank you for the wonderful time!

早朝１２０Mのパラセイリングに娘と参加。
陽気なインストラクター二人のガイドの元、大海原へ。。

ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めつつのパラセイリングは最高でした。
８分間がものすごく長く感じました。
船酔いが気になりましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。
その日の波の揺れによるかもしれません。

楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

The staff member was handsome and very accommodating. It was reassuring that he could speak a little Japanese. I would like to go again.

お兄さんがイケメンで対応が良かったです。
日本語も少し話せるようでしたので安心でした。また行きたいです。

The pickup bus was late, which made me a bit anxious, but the staff were very friendly and it turned out to be a fun time! While waiting to board the boat, they entertained us by letting us feed the fish! Parasailing was absolutely amazing! It was such a luxurious experience to look out over Waikiki from the sky in the morning! During the parasailing, the ascent was slow and there were no sudden jolts, so I felt stable and was able to fully enjoy the scenery without any fear!

迎えのバスがピックアップより遅くてヒヤヒヤしましたが、送迎の方が外国の方でしたがとっても感じよく楽しい時間でした！ボートに乗るまでの時間も魚にエサをあげたりと楽しませてくれました！パラセイリングはもう最高です！朝から海の空でワイキキを眺められるなんて贅沢な時間でした！パラセイリング中、上がるのもゆっくりで急な揺れなどもなく安定飛行で恐怖心もなく景色をしっかり楽しめました！

Everyone was very friendly out on the boats and helped us with whatever we needed!

I participated with my mother, and it was incredibly fun. The pickup location was very crowded with various departing guests, and after waiting for 20 minutes thinking the driver would arrive soon, I ended up calling and finally met the driver. It was my mistake not to notice that they were calling for me; I should have called after 10 minutes as it suggested. I ended up inconveniencing the other guests who were waiting on the bus. The driver seemed to be searching hard for me, and when we met, he greeted me with a smile, which made me very happy. Even if you're away from the pickup spot, you should immediately check if a flashy van stops, as "ZIP-LINE" is written in large letters on the vehicle. On the way, I enjoyed the coastal scenery, delicious bananas, tomatoes, and macadamia nuts that I cracked open myself. The zip line experience included climbing and descending on a rope bridge, going in various directions, and I absolutely recommend it!

母と親子参加、最高に楽しかったです。
ピックアップの場所が様々出発される方で大混雑、もうすぐ来るかと２０分経ち結局電話をかけやっとドライバーさんに会えました。
呼んでくれていたのに気づかなかった私のミス、１０分経っても来なかったら電話と書いてあるのでそうすべきでした。
バスで待たされた他の方に迷惑をかけてしまいました。
ドライバーさんは一生懸命探してくれていたようで、会った時は笑顔で迎えてくれとても嬉しかったです。
ピックアップ場所から離れていても派手なバンが止まったら即確認すべきです、車体には大きくZIP-LINEと書いてあります。
到着までも海沿いの景色を楽しみ、美味しいバナナ、トマト、自分で割って食べるマカダミアナッツ、つり橋にロープでの昇り降り、長短、後ろ向き、逆さでのジップライン体験、絶対におすすめ！！

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

The hospitality of the staff was excellent, and I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Their wonderful support eased the tension of the participants, and smiles were everywhere. I attended with a small child, and I am very grateful for the kind assistance from the staff. The atmosphere was great, and I was able to spend a lovely time. Thank you very much.
However, the weather was beyond our control and it was very cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket and pants. Since there are two opportunities to enter the sea, having extra towels would also be comfortable. I was worried about the cold air conditioning on the return bus, but it was turned off, which was a great help.
Lunch was very delicious.
Despite having a child with me, it was very comfortable, and I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you very much.

スタッフの方々のおもてなしがとても上手で、安心してツアーに参加できました。素晴らしい対応ばかりでツアーの参加者の緊張がどんもんほぐされ、笑顔が溢れてました。小さな子供を連れて参加しましたが、スタッフの方に優しく対応して頂き、大変感謝しております。とても雰囲気がよく、素敵な時間を過ごす事ができました。ありがとうございました。
ただ天候はどうにもならず、とても寒かったので上着やズボンを持っていくことをお勧めします。海に入る機会が2回ある為、タオルも多めにあると快適です。帰りのバスのエアコンの寒さが心配でしたが、エアコンは切ってあり、大変助かりました。
お昼ごはん、とっても美味しかったです。
子連れにもかかわらず、大変居心地がよく、また是非参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.

At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.

The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.

If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.

The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.

　ゴールデンシート＜前方席確約＞で参加しました。席も良かったですし，ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので，この席にして良かったと思います。

　会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので，着席するまでに長い行列ができます。

　スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが，チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は，ショーの最後の方で，5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。

　1時間近く待つのが嫌なら，18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。

　ショーは，ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて，楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが，英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。

　

The video description in Japanese mentions that helmets are provided for free, and water bottles can be placed in the saddlebag. Throughout the ride, a local horse staff member accompanied us, opening gates along the way, but there was no guidance about filming or any other information provided. The horse guidance was limited to simple Japanese commands like "right" and "left." The handling of the horses was professional, so I felt safe; the horse I rode followed the one in front, so as long as we avoided distractions, everything was fine. It's suitable for beginners as well.

It's recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. If your pants ride up while mounting, high socks are advisable. Soft, loose-fitting fabric for pants is also recommended. I enjoyed the views of the mountains, grasslands, and ocean in Hawaii.

日本語のビデオ説明、ヘルメット着用(無料貸出)、サドルバックにペットボトルの水などがいれられました。
出発から終わりまで、現地の馬のスタッフがひとりついてくれて途中のゲートを開けたりしてくれましたが、ここでこんな撮影がありました、などのガイドは一切無しでした。
馬の誘導も片言の日本語で右ー、左ー、という位でした。馬の扱いはプロだったので安心、乗る馬は前の馬に着いていくので、道草だけさせなければ大丈夫です。初心者でもオッケー。
長袖長ズボン。またがってズボンの裾が上がる場合はハイソックスがおすすめです。
ズボンは柔らかい生地、ゆったりめかおすすめです。
ハワイの山と草原、海を見れて楽しめました

I'm really glad I participated in the tour. After departing and finishing the eco-mai, dolphins appeared, and I was able to see them. Before that, I also encountered sea turtles! Once again, dolphins showed up, and I was able to swim with them, fulfilling my dream of swimming with dolphins in the waters of Hawaii! During snorkeling, I also encountered sea turtles and sharks, and within that short time, I was able to meet many sea creatures! I enjoyed marine sports like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which are not easily available in Japan, making it a fulfilling trip. I'm truly grateful to everyone at Dolphin University. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
出発してエホマイ終了後にイルカが現れて、見ることができました。
その前にもウミガメに出会うこともできました！
再び、イルカが現れて一緒に泳ぐことができ、ハワイの海でイルカと泳ぎたいという夢が叶いました！
シュノーケリング最中も、ウミガメやサメにも遭遇し、その短時間の間で海の生き物にたくさん出会えることができました！
日本ではなかなかできないサップやカヤックなどマリンスポーツも楽しめ、充実した旅行になりました。イルカ大学のみなさんには本当に感謝してます。ステキな思い出をありがとうございます！

I had a great time! I'm glad I did it! All the participants at the same time were foreigners, but everyone was friendly and it was fun. It wasn't a problem at all that I couldn't speak English. The staff on the boat were handsome! It was a mistake that I didn't pay much attention to the tips and photos and left my wallet at the hotel.

とても楽しかったです！やって良かった！同じ時間の参加者は全員外人さんでしたが、みんなフレンドリーで楽しかった。英語話せなくても、何の問題もなかったです。船のスタッフさんがイケメンでした！チップや写真のことをよく見ておらず、ホテルに財布を置いてきてしまったのが失敗でした。

I participated with another person in a 90-meter experience, but the staff was not at all kind to Japanese speakers and only spoke English. When we got on the boat, despite the strong waves, they sped off, and I ended up getting seasick and couldn't experience parasailing. There were about three groups, so waiting on the boat the whole time was really tough. The instructor didn't seem to care and was singing along to the music, which was frustrating.

In the end, we were the only ones who didn't receive the initial explanation, so my husband had to experience it alone, and they didn't even take any photos for us. They just said "sorry!" casually. It was truly the worst day.

90メートルのに2人で参加しましたが、日本人に全然優しくなくひたすら英語でした。船に乗ると波が強いのにも関わらず飛ばすので、船酔いをしてしまいパラセーリング体験できませんでした。3組ほどいたので、それまでずっと船の上で待っているのがとてもきつかったです。インストラクターの人も心配する事なく、流れている音楽に合わせて歌っていて腹が立ちました。
しまいには、私達だけ最初の説明をされていなかったので主人は1人で体験したのに、写真も撮っててもらえなかったです。sorry！と簡単に済まされました。ほんとに最悪な日
でした。

We had a group lesson, and there were two instructors for our group of four friends! They taught us very carefully, and by the second wave, everyone was able to ride. It was a very fun and wonderful tour, so I think even beginners can really enjoy it. Above all, the instructors were very friendly and fun. We also received over 100 photos for free, which was great to keep as memories of Hawaii.

グループレッスンを行いましたが、友達4人に対して2人のインストラクターが付いてくれました！
とても丁寧に教えていただき、2回目の波から全員がのることができました。
とても楽しく素晴らしいツアーなので、初心者の方でもとても楽しめると思います。何より、インストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリーで楽しいです。写真のデータも100枚以上無料でもらえて、ハワイの思い出としても残せてよかったです。

I thought the 2-hour course might be a bit long, but in the end, I was glad it was 2 hours. The reservation was well organized in advance, and although there were no staff who spoke Japanese, the process was completed without any stress. Since it had just rained, my shoes got a little muddy before riding, but it wasn't a big deal, and there was no splashing of mud during the ride, so my clothes stayed clean. I was impressed by how the horse followed the instructions I was given in advance (to walk, turn, and stop), and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature during those 2 hours. My butt got a bit sore, but it was nothing I couldn't quickly forget. There were lockers available for use, and the restaurant had high-quality food, which made me very satisfied. It was a facility where even older couples could enjoy themselves comfortably.

少し長いかなと思いつつ2時間コースを申し込みましたが結果的に2時間で良かったと思います。事前予約でしっかり手配されており日本語のできるスタッフはいませんでしたがストレスなく手続き完了。雨上がりだったので馬に乗るまで靴は少し泥で汚れますがたいしたことなく乗馬中は全く泥跳ねもなく服はきれいでした。事前に馬の操り方（歩く、曲がる、止まる）を教えてもらい馬が忠実に従ってくれるのに感動し、自然の雄大さに圧倒される2時間でした。ややお尻が痛くなりましたがすぐに忘れる程度、安心して使えるロッカーもありレストランもクオリティーが高く満足、初老の夫婦でも安心して楽しめる施設でした。

We used it as a couple. We were able to see the fireworks beautifully, and it created great memories. I would like to use it again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

夫婦で利用しました。花火も綺麗に見る事ができ、良い思い出が出来ました。ハワイに行った時はまた利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

I went with a female friend. However, there were only couples and newlyweds around us. (laughs) The scenery was beyond my imagination, it felt like being in a dream. The guide was also entertaining, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were exquisite.

女友達と2人で行きました。
が、周りにはカップルや新婚さんばかりでした。笑
景色は想像以上で夢の中にいるようでした。
ガイドさんも面白く、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも絶品でした。

We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12). The female guide was precise in her instructions, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a great recommendation for those who want to enjoy horseback riding. However, it was somewhat crowded due to participants from various routes, which made the guidance after arriving at the ranch a bit unclear. Additionally, there is quite a bit of free time before and after the horseback riding, but there isn't much to do or see, which can leave you feeling a bit idle.

2時間の乗馬ツアーに家族4人（大人2名、子供2名：10歳、12歳）で参加しました。ガイドの女性のリードも的確で、景色も絶景が楽しめて、乗馬を満喫したい人にはおすすめです。
ただし、様々なルートからのツアー参加者で多少混雑するためなのか、牧場到着後の案内がわかりづらかったです。また、乗馬を始める前と終わった後にフリータイムが結構あるのですが、あまりやることがなく、見るものも乏しいので手持無沙汰になります。

Good experience water was rough so we just cruised inside the harbor but great experience

There were few Japanese participants, and the guide spoke in English, but this is truly something you shouldn't miss! After seeing the underwater scenery, entering the sea brings various deep emotions. You can enjoy watching fish, sea turtles, and sunken ships. We participated in a few other tours, but we all agreed that this was the best one in our group!

日本人の参加者は少なく英語でガイドでしたが、これはほんとに見て損はないです！海中を見たあとに海に入ると色々と感慨深い
魚や海ガメ、沈んだ船など鑑賞できます
他にもいくつかツアーを参加しましたがこれが私たちのグループでは１番よかったねと感想を言い合いました♪

I applied because I thought if I missed this opportunity, I would never get another chance. It's an experience unique to Hawaii.

The location is at the left end of Waikiki (Queens Beach), with a simple lesson on the shore that lasts about five minutes. You paddle out to just before the reef, about 100 meters away. When the waves come, they push you from behind, so as long as you time it right and stand in the middle of the board, it's easy to get up.

In the semi-private lesson, you have one instructor for every two people, so I definitely recommend it for beginners. You also receive a T-shirt or a hat as a gift on your way back.

Paddling became tough for me due to my frozen shoulder, but since they push you, I was able to enjoy it enough.

There are Japanese staff at the shop, so there's no need to worry about language. As mentioned in other reviews, the shuttle service can be a bit loose with timing. The shop is about an 8-minute walk from Moana Surf, so walking there is less frustrating. On the way back, I walked to the supermarket in my swimsuit to do some shopping.

If your hotel is nearby, you won't need to bring your smartphone, towel, or a change of clothes. Just bring about $20 and a few dollars for tips, just in case.

Unfortunately, one-third of the DVD file of the photos I received was broken and wouldn't open.

この機会を逃せばチャンスは二度とないと思い申し込みました。
日本では恥ずかしくて無理でしょう。
ハワイならではの体験です。

場所はワイキキの左端（Queens Beach ）で、
岸辺で５分程の見よう物まねの簡単レッスン。
直ぐに100m先のリーフ手前までパドリング。
波が来たら後から押してくれますので、
タイミングと板の真ん中にさえ乗れば簡単に立てます。

セミプライベートは2人にひとりのインストラクターが付きますので、
初心者は是非セミプライベートをお勧めします。
帰りにTシャツか帽子のプレゼント付きです。

やはり50肩でパドリングが厳しくなりましたが、
押してくれるので充分楽しめました。

店には日本人の方が居ますので言葉の不安は無いです。
送迎は他の書き込みでもありますように、時間はルーズです。
お店がモアナサーフから歩いて8分位ですので、
歩いて行った方がイライラしなくて済みます。
帰りも水着のまま、歩いてスーパーで買物して帰りました。

ホテルが近くなら、スマホもタオルも着替えも入りません。
念のために２０ドルとチップの数ドルだけ持って行って下さい。

残念だったのはもらった写真のDVDファイルの1/3が、
壊れて開きませんでした。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and since I wanted to do some activities by the sea, I joined with four friends. We were picked up on time in the hotel lobby, and during the drive, our cheerful driver kept us entertained with jokes. Upon arriving at the beach, we quickly boarded the boat. The boat was quite rocky. It seemed that the boat ride was more intense than parasailing, giving a floating sensation similar to the drop of a roller coaster. I was fine with the rocking; in fact, I found it enjoyable, but those who are prone to seasickness might want to take medication beforehand or consider opting out.

For parasailing, we flew in pairs. As others had shared, there was no floating sensation while flying, but it felt wonderful to look around at the sea and the cityscape. If I get the chance, I would like to try a higher flight next time. You can request to have photos taken before you fly. After landing, you can purchase a group of photos (1 SD card) for $30 (an additional $5 fee for card payments). When I got home and looked at the photos, there were about 90 pictures, all beautiful, so I definitely recommend buying them!

初めてのハワイ、せっかくなので海でアクティビティをしたいということで、友達4人と参加しました。時間通りにホテルのロビーでピックアップ、車での移動中は愉快なドライバーさんがギャグで盛り上げてくれました。海辺に到着するとすぐ船に乗り移動しました。船はかなり揺れます。パラセイリングよりも船の方が激しいアトラクションのようで、ジェットコースターの落下時のようなふわふわ感がしました。私は揺れは大丈夫、むしろ楽しい感じでしたが、船酔する方は事前に薬を飲んでおくか、辞退された方がいいかもしれません。 パラセイリングは2人ずつ飛びました。ほかの方の体験談通り、飛んでる時はふわふわ感はなく、海と街並みを見回せてとても気持ちが良かったです。機会があったら今度はもっと高い方を挑戦してみたいです。写真は飛ぶ前に頼めば撮って貰えます。降りてから1グループ(1SDカード)で＄30(カード払いだと手数料で＋＄5)で買えます。帰って写真を見てみたら90枚ほど写真が入っていて、素敵な写真ばかりでしたので、買うことを是非お勧めします！

Took my son for his 17th birthday to Oahu & took to the sky with this awesome bird's eye experience. I was a bit anxious of how it would feel flying so high since I usually have motion sickness but I did not have any issues doing this activity. Had a great time ... It was simply AWESOME!

I was worried because the driver could hardly speak Japanese, but he was very friendly and interesting to talk to. The parasailing itself was really fun! I also got some great photos, and the SD card was $30! I made the best memories!

運転手さんが日本語がほとんどしゃべれないということで不安だったのですが、
きさくに話してくださってとても面白く、
パラセーリング自体も本当に楽しかったです！！
写真もとってもらえて、SD カードは30ドルでした！
最高の思い出ができました！

It was my first time parasailing. The flow of suddenly putting on a life jacket and being lifted up is very American and nice, but the first person definitely needs some courage. It might be a little scary... Everyone else seemed to be enjoying the parasailing (^｡^)(I was a bit scared and got motion sickness from the swaying in the air).

初めてのパラセイリングでした。いきなりライフジャケットをきて吊るされてgo！の流れがアメリカらしく良いのですが、第1号者の方は勇気が必要です。ちょっと怖いかも。。みんな気持ちよさそうにパラセイリングしていました(^｡^)(私は少し怖かったです。そして、空の揺れに酔いました)

I always enjoyed horseback riding in the canyon, but this time I participated in beach horseback riding. The seaside views were amazing, and I was very satisfied with this experience.

Along the way, I was able to shop in the town of Haleiwa and was introduced to a different delicious garlic shrimp place, allowing for a leisurely exploration that left me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.

いつも渓谷の乗馬を楽しんでいましたが、今回は海辺乗馬に参加させて頂きました。海辺の景色は最高で、こちらも大満足でした。

途中にハレイワの街で買い物したり、ガーリックシュリンプの今までとは違う別の美味しいお店を紹介して頂いたりと自由に散策出来て大満足でした。また参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I experienced this with my 11-year-old daughter! The staff who picked us up were handsome (laughs).

In our group, there were two Japanese families and three foreign families, and everyone was in high spirits, enjoying the boat ride together. The parasailing itself was 110 meters high, but it felt very high, and we were extremely satisfied! My daughter, who was nervous until the splash in the water, was so happy and said she wanted to do it more.

Before the challenge, they asked if we wanted to take optional photos, and since we decided not to, we didn't have any taken. However, they listened to our opinions well, so I felt good about that. My daughter is saying she definitely wants to do it again! I'm also happy because I got to see her beautiful smile, making it a wonderful memory!

11歳の娘と体験しました！
迎えのお兄さんたちがイケメンで（笑）

私たちの体験した回は日本人2組、外国人3組でしたが、みんなノリがよく、ボートみんなでキャーキャーして乗った感じです。
パラセーリング自体も、110メートルでしたがとても高く感じて大満足！
お約束の水バシャーンもやってもらってチャレンジするまでドキドキだった娘はもっとやりたかったー、とものすごく喜んでいました。
チャレンジ前にオプションの写真を撮るか聞かれるので我が家は撮らなくていいと伝えたので撮ってもらっていませんが、意見をしっかりと聞いてくれるのでそこも悪い感じはせず良かったと思います。
娘はまた絶対やりたい！と言ってます♪
私も娘の最高の笑顔が観れたので嬉しい思い出になりました！

Thankyou for a wonderfull experience on this magnetic cruise - we loved it & can't wait to one day do this again !

show was awesome
meal was not the best
we included transportation from Waikiki..ambassador did no entertainment on the bus

Great adventure underwater fun. Crew were friendly and efficient . Everything supplied and even if you are not a very competent swimmer you could easily manage this activity as a fully qualified diver is in the water to assist at all times.
Ideal alternative way to get under the water if you are incapable of scuba diving. Would definitely do it again The music on the boat was from the 70's and 80's which made the trip even more enjoyable as it was what I grew up listening too
