Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.

The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.

For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.

I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.

ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書？に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある＂海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー！＂と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが＂Look down!!＂と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

We went with two friends and were fortunate enough to be in a small group. Our guide Uncle was absolutely fantastic. The scenery and views were spectacular. Since being home we have told everyone and if they go to Oahu it's a must to go. If anyone is thinking of going......do it, it is so worth it, you will have a fantastic experience.

We boarded the Holokai Catamaran and quickly arrived at a point where we could see the beachside hotels of Waikiki. During the ride, we received explanations in English and were given life jackets. When I asked if wearing a life jacket was mandatory, I was told it wasn't required, but it was at our own risk. There was no worry about not seeing sea turtles, as they were coming up to the surface to breathe all around us. There was also a tour company nearby doing scuba diving. One slight disappointment was that there weren't many colorful tropical fish or coral at this point. However, there was plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. After getting back on the boat, we were offered chips and chocolate (free), and drinks like guava juice and beer (for a fee) as we slowly began sailing. Since it was December, we went whale watching and saw a few in the distance. Given the price, the service was good, and I was satisfied with the experience. I highly recommend it!

ホロカイ・カタマラン号に乗り込み、しばらく走るのかと思いきや、ワイキキのビーチサイドホテルが目視できるポイントにすぐ到着。走っている最中に説明(英語)を受けライフジャケットを受け取ります。ライフジャケットの着用は義務か聞くと無しでもOKしかし、自己責任。ウミガメがあちこちで水面に呼吸しに来るので会えない見られないという心配はないと思います。すぐ側でスキューバダイビングをしているツアー会社も居ました。少し残念なのはカラフルな熱帯魚や珊瑚はあまりいないポイントでした。シュノーケリングを楽しむには十分な時間が設けられています。船にあがりチップスやチョコを頂き(無料)飲み物はグアバジュースやビール(有料)ゆっくりとセーリング開始。12月だったためホエールウォッチング。遠目に少しだけ見れました。お値段の割にサービスも良く、内容にも満足です。おススメです!!

I participated with my two daughters (in their 20s) and another family of two (foreigners), making a total of five people. All the staff at the ranch were women and spoke very little Japanese, but they provided clear guidance in English, which made us feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. We spent about an hour relaxing in the beautiful scenery of the coast and the grasslands. After horseback riding, they also gave us plenty of time to interact with the horses. The horses were beautiful, very friendly, and adorable. The staff talked about each horse's individual characteristics and personalities as if they were their own children, which made me, a huge horse lover, feel incredibly warm inside. I had a wonderful time at this ranch, creating great memories. However, one thing that concerned me was that the entrance to the ranch was somewhat difficult to find. I had read in previous reviews that the entrance gate should always be closed to prevent the horses from getting out, so when I closed it, the staff shouted in English for me not to close it, which surprised me a bit.

娘2人(20代)と私の3人、他に2人の親子連れ(外国人)と計５人での参加でした。
牧場の方は全て女性で日本語はほとんど話せませんでしたが、分かりやすく英語で案内してくれたので安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
海岸と草原の最高の景色の中で約1時間ゆったりとした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
そして乗馬の後に馬たちとたくさん触れ合う時間を設けてくれました。馬たちはきれいで、そしてとても人馴れしていて可愛かったです。係の人は馬の個々の特徴や性格を我が子の様に話してくれて、馬の大好きな私はものすごく温かい気持ちになりました。この牧場でとても幸せな時間を過ごすことが出来てよい思い出になりました。
ただ、１つ気になったところは、牧場入口が若干分かりにくかったです。
以前体験された方の口コミに入口ゲートは馬が外へ出ないように必ず閉めて。とあったので閉めていたら、牧場の方に閉めないで！ と英語で叫ばれて少し驚いてしまいました。

It was a nice experience and the staff were really sweet n friendly. The only disappointment was we didn't get to catch the sunset on the beach when we ride

My 6-year-old son was interested in deep-sea fish, so this submarine was the main attraction for our trip to Hawaii. It dives to about 300 meters below the sea. We were able to see many fish at various points, although it wasn't completely natural; it felt like there were artificial habitats created, which was part of research by the University of Hawaii.

Towards the end, we apparently encountered a whale, but we only caught a glimpse of its shadow from inside the submarine. The guide was quite excited and announced it, but since we were still underwater, it seemed to have passed above us. If we had been surfaced, we might have seen it.

I thought I didn't get motion sickness easily, but I ended up feeling quite nauseous on the return high-speed boat. The submarine doesn't have a restroom, but the high-speed boat does. I managed to avoid the worst-case scenario, but I recommend taking motion sickness medication for anyone who might be concerned. The guide mentioned that the waves were quite calm that day, so I think it would have been tough on a day with regular waves. Just for your reference.

6歳の息子が深海魚に興味を持っていたので、今回のハワイ旅はこの潜水艦がメインでした。
海底300m程まで潜水します。
魚などは要所要所で沢山見られました。全くの自然というわけではなく、それなりの住処を人工的に作っているという感じでしたが、それもハワイ大学の研究の一環ということでした。
終盤はクジラに遭遇したらしいですが、ニアミスで艦内からチラリと影が見えただけでした。ガイドさんもかなり興奮してアナウンスしてくれたのですが、まだ海中にいたので頭上を行ったようです。
浮上していれば見えたかもしれませんね。
私はあまり乗り物酔いはしない方だと思っていましたが、この日は帰りの高速艇でかなり酔ってしまいました。
潜水艦にトイレはありませんが、行き帰りの高速艇にはあります。
何とか最悪の事態は回避できましたが、少しでも心配のある方は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
この日はかなり波も穏やかだとガイドさんも言っていたので、普通に波がある日だと厳しかったと思います。ご参考までに。

The weather on the day we went was a bit disappointing, and it was cold when we went into the sea (laughs), but we were able to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was really fun with so many fish! The ocean was truly beautiful! The hamburgers we ate on the boat were also delicious!!

行った日の天気が少し残念で、海に入るとき寒かったですが(笑)ウミガメも見れましたし、シュノーケリングも本当に魚がたくさんでとても楽しかったです！
海が本当にキレイでした！
船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです！！

Last time, I used the Star of Honolulu, but this time I participated in this tour because it was under maintenance. I heard that the seating was unassigned, but it can be confusing depending on the group. I think it would be better if seats were assigned. Overall, I believe the excitement level cannot compare to the Star of Honolulu. Also, a lobster voucher that I hadn't signed up for was distributed on the bus. I asked about it three times, but it seemed correct, so I accepted it without hesitation. Well, this was a lucky surprise!

前回はスターオブホノルルを利用しましたが、今回はメンテナンス中との事でこのツアーに参加しました。
席は自由席との事でしたが、グループによっては迷います。
やはりアサインされた方が良いと思いますね。
全体的な盛り上がりも、やはりスターオブホノルルにはかなわないと思います。
あと、申し込んでいないロブスターの引換券がバスの中で配られました。
3回位聞き返しましたが、間違い無さそうでしたので、遠慮無く頂きました。
まぁこれはこれでラッキーでした！

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！
またハワイに来たら行きたいです！次回はイルカを間近で見られるといいな♫

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。
また、砂埃がすごいです。
顔をシートで拭くとかなり汚れていました。
インストラクターさんは親切でフレンドリーです。
天候にも恵まれたため、爽快でした。

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^)
心が洗われるステキな乗馬体験でした！

I participated alone, but there was one other Japanese person, and I had a great time. The snorkeling was amazing, as I encountered not only fish but also many sea turtles, and it was thrilling to swim alongside them! The male crew members were kind, cheerful, and fun. I would love to join again.

一人で参加しましたが日本人も一人でしたが十分楽しめた。
シュノーケリングは魚だけでなく、ホヌも沢山遭遇し、間近で一緒に泳げるので感動的です❗クルーの男性も親切で明るく楽しい。また参加したい。

I went in November.
We took a bus to the location, and the scenery was enjoyable along the way.
After arriving at the port, we took a short restroom break before departing.

The sandbar had water up to my knees, and we practiced snorkeling and took photos.
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.

I previously participated in a dolphin tour, but this tour offered more freedom, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

11月に行ってきました。
バスで現地まで向かうのですが、楽しく景色を案内していただきました。
港についてからは、少しトイレ休憩して出発します。

サンドバーは膝程度の海面で
シュノーケリングの練習をしたり写真をとったりしました。
ガイドのお姉さんに写真を撮っていただきとてもいい記念になりました。

またランチのハンバーガーはボリュームがあり
とても美味しかったです。

ランチ後はシュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほど泳ぎます。
クラゲに刺された方もいるようですが
お魚もサンゴも綺麗で大変満足しました。

以前はイルカツアーに参加しましたが
こちらのツアーのほうが自由度が高く
のんびりとすることができて楽しかったです。

My husband and I attended the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise on 12/06/17. 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! Must do!!!

This was a great family friendly experience with helpful friendly staff.

The best experience ever! The crew were very professional and nice and I don’t swim but they were so kind in helping me and guiding me through this amazing experience! In addition they gave complimentary equipment that you can borrow to snorkel freely! If you want an amazing adventure, this is one of them!

The instructor was very dedicated in assisting us. There was a simple explanation at the beginning on how to do it, so you can participate with peace of mind.

インストラクターのお姉さんが一生懸命アシストしてくれました。
始めにどうやるのか簡単な説明もあり安心して参加出来ますよ。

Had an early morning rideat 9:00am. We got three a not earthly, but played with the Sadie and the time flew by! She was such a sweetie. The guide, Grace, was very friendly and informative. The horses felt very safe and well cared for. The views were phenomenal as even though it rained a bit, it was a wonderful experience. We drove from ko orona resort and it took about 1 hour in light traffic. We let the calves,goats,sheep afterwards. It was a blast and i would definitely recommend it. As a beginner, I felt very safe and the horses behaved perfectly! There's great lunch in north shore at Ted's and we also got to watch the big waves while in town.

The female instructor was very energetic. I was a bit surprised by her high energy in the morning. However, she worked hard to find dolphins, and we were able to see wild dolphins. The snorkeling was also very beautiful.

女性のインストラクターのテンションが高かったです。
朝からテンションが高くて少しびっくりしてしまいました。
でも、イルカを一生懸命探してくれ、野生のイルカを見ることができました。
シュノーケリングもとてもきれいでした。

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.

ハワイでいろいろなショーを見ている友人から
ヒルトンのルアウは最高によかったというので
行ってきました。

前日が雨がすごかったのでもしかしたら中止（室内）と書いてあったので
不安になっていましたが
当日はカラッと晴れてましたが夜になるので上着は必要でした。
前方席確約だとブッフェも優先的に
そしてもう一杯ドリンクがついているので
食事もたのしめました。
新婚、銀婚という世界中のカップルがきていて
同じ席でいろいろ話も弾んで楽しかったです。
席自体は前の方の席で4番目
ダンサーさんはどの方向からも見える位置なので特に不満もなかったのですが
遊園地のような写真の販売にちょっと興ざめしてしまいました。

早くいってもいかなくても大して変わらないけど
確約席にしてよかったです。

I used the canyon horseback riding plan. I bought souvenirs at Dole Plantation, saw sea turtles, enjoyed delicious garlic shrimp, purchased the coffee beans I wanted, and fulfilled my mother's long-held dream of horseback riding (she's in her 60s and this was her first time). We were also blessed with great weather. The driver (and guide?) shared interesting stories, and both of them (there were two who switched halfway) answered our questions thoroughly and even engaged with my mother's long stories (laughs). Mark, the ranch owner, listened attentively to my mother, who struggles with English, and responded with a kind smile. We truly had the best time. Both my mother and I are extremely satisfied!! I will definitely recommend this to friends going to Oahu. Thank you very much.

渓谷乗馬プランで利用させていただきました。ドールプランテーションでお土産を買って、海亀を見て、おいしいガーリックシュリンプを食べて、欲しかったコーヒー豆を買って、母(60代・初めての乗馬)の念願の乗馬をして、天気にも恵まれて…。運転手さん(兼ガイドさん？)のお話も、どちらの方も(途中交代があって２名いらっしゃいました)興味深いお話をしていただいて、こちらからの質問にもしっかり答えていただいて、母の長い話にも付き合っていただいて(笑)。牧場オーナーのマークさんも、英語が苦手な母の話をちゃんと聞いてくれて、優しい笑顔で対応してくれました。本当に最高の時間を過ごすことができました。母も私も大・大・大満足です！！オアフ島に行く友達がいたら必ずおすすめします。ありがとうございました。

FAMILY FRIENDLY STAFF, amazing boat, very clean. A once in a life time experience I would recommend to anyone in Hawaii.

After being picked up at the hotel, we traveled by van to the destination with dolphins. During the journey, they provided detailed explanations about the dolphins' ecology, which was very enjoyable. Even for those who are not good swimmers, they lend life jackets, so it's reassuring. We encountered many dolphins and were moved by the sight of them swimming gracefully.

ホテルでピックアップ後、イルカのいる目的地までバンで移動しました。到着までの間もイルカの生態など、詳しく説明してくださりとても楽しかったです。泳ぎが苦手な方でもライフジャケットを貸して頂けるので安心です。たくさんのイルカに遭遇し、優雅に泳いでいる姿を見ることが出来、感動しました。

The experience was definitely worth the time and cost. Picture taking left a bit to be desired, problem with reflection through the portals...wished we could have seen more sea life...may have just been the Tim of the year.
The narrative was well done.

I participated in December, and it was a bit cold, but the sea was beautiful and the scenery was amazing. I was able to see sea turtles, and it was great to see many small fish while snorkeling. It was just a bit cold since it was December.

12月参加で、ちょっと寒かったですがなんと言っても海がキレイで景色が最高でした。海ガメもみれて、シュノーケリングでは小魚もたくさん見れて良かったです。ただ12月だったのでちょっと寒かったです。
