I participated because I wanted my 2-year-old son to touch a dolphin. The dolphins were very cute. We were able to touch two of them. It was very disappointing that we couldn't take photos freely. If we could have taken more pictures, I would have purchased them, but since there was only one, I gave up on buying. There are many sea creatures, but we especially had a lot of fun in the area where we could feed the birds. The birds came and perched on our shoulders and heads, and they were very cute. When my son gets older, I want to try a course where he can swim with dolphins.

2歳の息子にイルカを触らせてあげたくて参加しました。イルカはとってもかわいかったです。二匹を触ることができました。写真が自由に撮れないのが非常に残念でした。もっとたくさん写真をとっていただければ購入したのですが一枚だけだったので購入諦めました。海の生き物がたくさんいるのですが、とくに鳥に餌をあげられるコーナーでたくさん遊びました。鳥たちが肩や頭に乗ってきてとてもかわいかったです。息子が大きくなったらイルカと一緒に泳げるコースにチャレンジしたいです。

My daughter and granddaughter enjoyed the experience.

Since it was my first time parasailing, I chose the 120-meter option. The driver arrived on time to pick us up and took us to the boarding area. We hung around there for about five minutes while waiting for the boat to arrive. There were a total of six groups. We set off right away, and they told us we would fly in the order we sat, and we were third. If you want photos, it costs an additional $30, but we didn't hesitate to request them.

The explanations were thorough, and I felt safe flying. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the wind was gentle, allowing us to enjoy the view. Just before landing, they dipped us low enough that our lower bodies got wet from the sea, so it felt like we were splashed with seawater.

They started taking photos before we boarded, capturing moments just before we took off, while we were flying, and during landing. I consider myself a strong woman in my late twenties who has never experienced seasickness, but perhaps due to the waves, I felt a bit nauseous towards the end. I recommend that those who aren't very confident take some medication beforehand. One woman on our boat completely went down.

After getting off the boat, I handed each of the two crew members $10. When we got to the boarding area, they gave us an SD card with all 77 photos on it. From our perspective, the photos were perfectly fine, and I'm glad we requested them! ^ ^

初めてのパラセイリングなので、120メートルにしました。時間通りドライバーが迎えに来てくれて、乗り場まで連れてくれました。あそこでぶらぶらして5分ほど待って、ボートが来ます。全部6組でした。早速出発し、座る順番で飛ぶよと言われ、私たちは3番目でした。写真撮って欲しいなら別途30ドールかかりますが、私たちは迷いなくお願いしました。

説明も丁寧に説明してくれるし、安心して飛べました。景色が非常に綺麗で風も穏やかで、ゆっくり眺めました。着陸する直前に下半身が濡れる程海に落としてくれて、海水を浴びましたって感じです。

乗る前に写真をスタートし、飛ぶ直前、飛んでる最中、着陸するときを全部納めてくれました。自分は船酔ったことないぐらい強い20代後半女性だと思いますが、あまりにも波のせいか、後半にはちょっと気持ち悪かったです。あまり自信のない方は薬を飲んで置いた方がおすすめです。私たちが乗っていたボートの中、一人の女性が完全にダウンしました。

船降りたら、二人のクルーに一人ずつ10ドールを手渡しました。乗り場に行くと全て77枚の入った512mb Sd-cardを渡してくれました。写真はプロじゃない私たちから見て全然OKです！お願いして良かったです^ ^

I wanted to experience surfing, which I've always admired, after seeing the beautiful ocean on my trip to Hawaii, so I made a reservation two days ago. The booking process was smooth, and it was helpful to have flexibility during my travels. Although there was a shuttle service included, the driver didn't arrive at the hotel at the scheduled time. When I called, they asked me to wait for five minutes. Fortunately, the driver arrived safely after five minutes, which was a relief. It seems that delays in shuttle service are common for morning lessons due to heavy traffic in Waikiki. The lesson itself was a group session with about ten people and three instructors. They were very cheerful and entertaining, making the experience enjoyable. I was nervous since it was my first time, but when I finally managed to ride a wave, it was an emotional moment! I felt grateful to have participated, enjoying the beautiful ocean right in front of me and the pleasure of surfing. I would love to do this again when I come back to Hawaii!

ハワイ旅行で美しい海をみたら今まで憧れていたサーフィンを体験したく2日前に予約しました。スムーズに予約確定いただけフレキシブルに動きたい旅行中には助かりました。送迎付でしたがなかなかホテルまで送迎の時間になってもドライバーがやって来ず電話連絡したところ5分待ってと。5分後ドライバーさんが無事に来てくれて一安心。ワイキキ市内はとても渋滞していたので朝のレッスンは送迎が遅れることは普通みたいです。レッスン自体は10人ほどのグループレッスンでインストラクター3人。とても明るく面白く映画でしたが楽しんで教えていただけました。初めてで不安でしたが何とか波乗りできたときは感動！目の前の美しい海と波乗りの心地よさに参加してよかった！と思えました。
またハワイに来たときもお願いしたいです！

Love the crew! They made it so much fun! Thank you so much for this memorable experience! We cannot wait to come back next year!!!

The meeting place was Sheraton Waikiki. It was a tour with many Japanese participants. As a result, the activities at the ranch included a movie location tour exclusively for Japanese speakers, with a bus and a Japanese guide, which made it easy to understand and enjoyable. The sets from movies like Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Kong were still there, and it was exciting to see them.

シェラトンワイキキが集合場所でした。
日本人が多く参加するツアーでした。そのため、牧場でのアクティビティの映画ロケ地巡りは日本人のみでバスが作られ日本語ガイドが付き、わかりやすく良かったです。映画のジュラシックパークやジュラシックワールドやコングのセット（もっともっといろいろな映画が撮影されていましたが）が残っていて、ワクワクしました。

There were Japanese staff members present, which made me feel安心して参加できました！ The movie location tour was great; the staff took photos for us and provided detailed guidance! The weather turned bad halfway through, but thanks to the staff, we had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃり、安心して参加できました！映画ロケ地ツアーは、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださったったり、案内も詳しくして下さいました！途中から天気が荒れてしまったのですが、スタッフさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました！オススメです！

This was our first time ziplining and it was awesome. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back!

I went parasailing for the first time. It was a moment where I felt like a bird soaring through the blue sky and over the ocean. At first, I was a bit scared, but the crew created a reassuring atmosphere, and we were able to start smoothly. Once I was flying, it truly felt amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely challenge myself to do it again next year!

初めてのパラセイリングしてきたよ、
青空の中で、海を大空から鳥になった気分に浸される、一時でした、初めは、少し恐怖心が、ありましたが、クルーの人が、安心して翔べる雰囲気で、スタートさせていただきました、飛んだらホントに最高な気分になり、たいへん、満喫させて頂きました、又、来年も、挑戦です

The guide also took photos and really made it fun! The only disappointing thing was that since it was advertised as a barbecue, I was expecting a lot of meat and vegetables, but what came out were hamburgers. >_<

ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたら盛り上げてくれたりとっても楽しかったです！！
ただ１つ残念だったのは、バーベキューと書いていたので沢山のお肉や野菜を期待していたのですが出て来たのはハンバーガーでした>_<

This was my second experience, following last year. The crew was the same! They kept the atmosphere lively while we were on the boat and were very considerate, making the experience feel safe. I participated in a swimsuit and a light hoodie, and sunglasses and sunscreen are a must. I hung my phone in a waterproof case around my neck and went up into the sky! There were even elementary school-aged children participating. My 13-year-old had a great time. It's an experience that changes your perspective on the world.

昨年に続き2度目の体験でした。
クルーも同じ人！
ボートに乗ってる間も盛り上げてくれたり、気遣いをしてくれて安心して体験できます。
水着に薄手のパーカーで参加し、サングラス、日焼け止め必須です。首から防水ケースに入れた携帯を下げて上空へ！小学生くらいのお子さんも参加してます。
うちは13歳で体験してとっても喜んでました。
世界観の変わる経験です。

The price and content are about the same. However, the round trip bus drive to the destination was surprisingly enjoyable. Many people were sleeping on the bus ride back... It had a different Hawaiian feel compared to downtown Honolulu, and I thought it was nice to be swayed on the bus.

However, since a middle-aged couple participated, I wished they would refrain from calling each other "papa" and "mama." It brought me back to reality all at once.

値段と内容は同程度。
ただ、目的地までの往復のバスドライブは意外と楽しかった。
帰りのバス中は結構寝ている人が多かったが・・・
ホノルル中心部とは違う　ハワイらしさがあって　the busで
揺られてもいいなぁ　と思ったりもした。

ただ、中年夫婦が参加したため仕方がないが
papa・mamaというのはやめてほしかった。
一挙に現実に引き戻された。

I participated with my son. Since I had done parasailing before, I requested 150 meters this time. The port is close, so we didn't have to wake up early, and we were able to return to the hotel by the morning, making good use of our afternoon time.

The 150 meters was really high, and the weather was perfect, so I created another wonderful memory with my son.

The pickup was on time, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was very friendly, making the ride to and from very enjoyable.

息子と２人で参加しました。
パラセイルは前にもやったことがあるので、今回は150mでお願いしました。
港も近いので早起きしなくてもいいし、午前中にはホテルに帰れたので午後の時間も有効に使えました。

やっぱり150mはすごく高くて、お天気も最高だったので、息子との楽しい思い出がまた１つ増えました。

ピックアップも時間通りでしたし、ドライバーのヤノ先生もとてもフレンドリーで行き帰りの車中でも、とても楽しめました。

I participated in this tour on my honeymoon. Although I couldn't see any dolphins during the first two tries, I was able to see them swimming slowly in a pod up close during the next two attempts. I also saw rays and sea turtles, and it was an amazing experience to witness the sea turtles surfacing for air.

Listening to Alisa made me want to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle even after returning from Hawaii.

The wind was strong and it was cold on the boat, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I have participated in two other dolphin tours in the past, where I was able to buy disposable underwater cameras at the wetsuit rental location, but this time we didn't stop at such a store. If you want to use a disposable underwater camera, I think it would be good to purchase one in advance at an ABC Store or similar. However, on this tour, the photographer Michael took a lot of great photos of all the participants, as well as beautiful shots of the dolphins and sea turtles, so it was more than enough. Since you can focus on snorkeling rather than taking pictures, I think a camera is unnecessary if you join this tour.

Thank you, Takao, Alisa, and Michael, for a wonderful experience!

ハネムーンでの参加でした。
イルカは最初2回のトライでは見れませんでしたが、その後2回は群れになってゆっくり泳ぐところを間近で見ることができました。エイやウミガメも見れて、ウミガメとの息継ぎも見ることができ、最高の体験でした☆
アリサさんのお話を聞いて、ハワイから帰った後もエコな生活を心がけたいなと思いました。

船上は風も強く寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをお勧めします。
過去に2回他のイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、その際はウエットスーツをレンタルする場所で使い捨ての水中カメラを購入することができましたが、今回はそのような店舗に寄ることはなかったので、使い捨ての水中カメラを使用されたい場合は、事前にABCストアなどで購入して参加すると良いかと思います。ただこのツアーでは、カメラマンのマイケルが、参加者全員の写真をまんべんなくたくさん撮ってくれており、またイルカやウミガメの写真もとてもキレイに撮影されており、十分でした。写真を撮ることよりシュノーケルに集中できるので、このツアーに参加される場合はカメラは不要かなと思います。
タカオさん、アリサさん、マイケルさん、素敵な体験をありがとうございました！！

The children went surfing for the first time, and it seems they really enjoyed being able to stand on the waves. Thank you very much.

子供たちは初めてのサーフィンでしたが、波に立てたりした事でとても楽しめたようです。ありがとうございました。

Oh my goodness, this was so much fun!! Dave & Dave, our captains were really fun. They were knowledgeable and taught us some interesting stuff about the sharks. When we got to the cage, the sharks started swarming around the boat. It was so exciting. Then we climbed in the cage and had the most amazing experience with the sharks. My boyfriend was hesitant when I told him I wanted to do this, but after it was over he was so glad we did. So am I! Highly recommend a underwater camera/video. Thank you so much North Shore Shark Adventure for something we will never forget and get to brag about to all our friends! Aloha & Mahalo!

The family of four participated in group lessons for the couple and one-on-one lessons for the children. It was their first time surfing, but the initial explanation was very good, and they were able to stand on the waves. It was also great that the children had a fun time.

夫婦はグループレッスンと子供はマンツーマンレッスンの家族4名で参加しました。サーフィンは初めてでしたが、初めの説明がとても良く波に立つことができました。子供たちが楽しく過ごせた事もとても良かったです。

We took our 10-month-old baby along for the adventure. They provided life jackets for babies, which made us feel safe while boarding. I thought we could sit the baby on the sand, but unfortunately, the water depth at the sandbar was about 120 cm, so we ended up putting the baby in a float. I guess that's just luck at that moment...

The sea turtle watching was great; we were able to see many sea turtles, which was satisfying. The guide was energetic and very kind in taking care of the baby, which we really appreciated.

０歳１０ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れで挑みました。赤ちゃん用のライフジャケットも用意されており、安心して乗船できました。ベビーを砂に座らせることができるのではないかと思っていたのですが、残念ながら、サンドバーの水深が１２０cmくらいあり、浮き輪に入れて浮かべる感じになりました。こればかりはその時の運ですね・・。
ウミガメウォッチングはたくさんのウミガメを見ることができて、満足です。ガイドのお姉さんが元気でベビーに対するケアも親切にしてくださって、ありがたかったです。

Great experience
Friendly instructor very affordable price

The sand at Blue was very beautiful, and it was a great experience. I was able to see sea turtles as well. Although it was advertised as a BBQ, they actually served hamburgers. However, they were delicious, so it was fine.

サンドブルーがとてもきれいでいい体験になりました。ウミガメもしっかり見れました。BBQとあるけど実際はハンバーガーの提供。でも美味しかったのでよいです。

The horses were well-trained, and I enjoyed a calm horseback ride. Walking along the coastline was comfortable, and I was able to see sea turtles basking in the sun along the way. The scenery of both the ocean and the mountains was magnificent and moving.

馬たちもよく躾られていて、穏やかな乗馬が楽しめました。海岸線を歩くのは快適で途中で海亀の甲羅干しも観ることが出来ました。海だけでなく山々の景色も壮大で感動しました。

This trip to go cage diving with the sharks was incredible and unforgettable! To start off the bat, the crew Matt and Tanya were very nice, and knowledgeable. They are quick to ease anyones fear of being in harm or of risking the sharks being harmed in any way. Matt is full of jokes, almost like we got our own stand up before the main event! It was I believe 20 minutes of being in the water, more than enough time to watch the galapagos sharks swim by so elegantly. Once you get in the cage, you just seem to forget everything else, being surrounded by sharks close enough to see their pupils as they pass. Ultimately the sharks are rather disinterested in you, and more interested in the boat hoping for them to drop some crabs in the water thinking it's a fishing vessel. If you are on vacation, I would highly recommend this adventure, especially if you have a love for sharks like I do!

If you only do one thing here do the premier movie tour.. The afternoon cruise was a nice way to finish the visit

Amazing experience that should not be missed. The crew was knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe the entire time. Definitely going to do it again.

If you want a fantastic time with a great crew, Captain Ryan, Kevin and Zak, and swimming with sea turtles, go with Holokai! A great bargain for a GREAT experience! We'll be back!!

It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.

I was wondering if it would be okay since it was small, but when I asked the person, they were excitedly saying, "I want to swim with dolphins♪," so we decided to give it a try.

As expected, when it was time to enter the pool, they had a face full of anxiety. We calmed them down and started the program. Although they were scared at first, it seems they ultimately had fun, and all's well that ends well! (laughs)

If it were an elementary school student, they might have enjoyed it a bit more. But it was a valuable experience, and I'm glad we did it.

小さいので大丈夫かな？と思っていましたが本人に聞いてみると『イルカと一緒に泳ぐ♪』とルンルンだったので…試しに行ってみることに
案の定いざプールに入る時になると不安で一杯の顔。なだめつつプログラムスタート。最初は怖がっていたものの最終的には楽しかったようで、終わりよければ全て良し！(笑)
小学生ぐらいならもう少し楽しめたかも知れませんね
でも貴重な体験が出来良かったです

Pick up at the hotel before sunrise. The brightness inside the private bus was enough to shake off any sleepiness. It was a windy day, but we encountered dolphins twice. We also saw turtles and rays. Although I came to see the dolphins, the impression of the staff left a stronger mark on me. It was a fun tour.

日が昇る前にホテルでピックアップ。専用バスの中は眠気もぶっ飛ぶ明るさバシバシ。その日は風も強かったですが、イルカ達に2度も出会えました。また、亀やエイなども。イルカに会いに来たのにスタッフの印象の方が強く残っています。楽しいツアーでした。

My wife and I went on an amazing first time horse ride. I would like to especially like to thank GRACE. She was patient and kind. My wife was very scared but she put her at ease and made her very comfortable. We had an amazing ride well worth the money! The instructions were easy to understand and to apply. The scenery was beautiful with views of the ocean and mountains. The horses were beautiful and gentle. We went up and down the trails which made the trails more enjoyable.Even the drive out to the ranch was spectacular which added to an amazing time. Thank you Grace we will definetly recommend the Ranch to everyone we know.

I received information in advance about how to get there by car from Waikiki, so I arrived without getting lost. The thrilling zip line, which you can't find in Japan, was the best! Along the way, there were various simple activities that were fun. There was a cute guide named Dua Dura who spoke Japanese, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

ワイキキからの車での行き方のお知らせも事前にあったので、迷わず到着出来ました。日本にはないスリルのあるzipは最高‼︎
途中、様々な簡単なアクティビティもあり、楽しかったです。ガイドに日本語が話せる可愛いデュアドラさんがいて、安心して楽しめました。
