The weather was great, and the waves were calm, so I was looking forward to enjoying a wonderful underwater walk. However, the water clarity was poor. The fish were sparse, and while the small fish entering and exiting the wreckage of ships and airplanes on the seabed were cute, there weren't as many varieties or numbers as I had hoped. Furthermore, at around 30 meters underwater, due to the relationship of sunlight with color wavelengths, even brightly colored fish appeared bluish overall, so I didn't feel the vividness typical of the southern seas, which was disappointing.

天気良し、波静かで絶好の海中散歩を楽しにみしていたけど、海中（海水）の透明度が悪い。
魚類がまばら、海底に沈めた船舶や飛行機の残骸（魚の住み家）に出入りする小魚は、可愛らしいが、期待したほどの種類や数が見られない。　さらに３０ｍくらいの海中では、太陽光は色彩波長の関係で、鮮やかな色合いの魚でも全体に青白くみえるため、南海の海といった鮮やかさは感じられず、残念でした。

Great way to see d island , eat and relax. D food was great and staff friendly and accommodating

The sandbar's water level was about waist-high, but the clarity was excellent, and I was very satisfied. I was able to see a sea turtle, and snorkeling was a lot of fun with plenty of fish. The hamburgers and beer on the boat were also incredibly delicious! The guide on the way there was really wonderful, too!

サンドバーは水位は腰くらいまででしたが、透明度が高く、大満足でした。ｳﾐｶﾞﾒも見れたし、シュノーケリングも魚が沢山でとても楽しかったです。船の上のハンバーガーとビールも、最高に美味しかったです！行きのガイドのおじさんがとても素敵でした笑

I participated in three attractions, and time flew by!

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to experience these typical attractions, and I was very satisfied.

3つのアトラクションに参加しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました！

ハワイが初めてだったので、こういう普通のザ アトラクションを体験したかったので大満足です。

We participated as a family of three. Since we were staying at Hilton Village, we were scheduled to be picked up at 5 AM, but after waiting for a little over 15 minutes, I started to worry a bit, but we were able to meet up safely. Our 5-year-old daughter also joined, and she slept soundly in the car (laughs). Shortly after boarding the boat and moving to the spot, we finally spotted the dolphins! A large group of dolphins swam right beneath our feet. I was a bit worried about having the youngest participant, but my daughter was super excited!! After that, we also got to see turtles, and we experienced kayaking and paddleboarding, making it a very satisfying day. The staff members were always cheerful, and we were able to enjoy a fun atmosphere throughout. I definitely want to go again! ♪

家族3人で参加させて頂きました。
ヒルトンビレッジの宿泊でしたので、朝５時にピックアップ予定でしたが待つこと１５分強、
少し心配になりましたが無事に合流出来ました。
５歳の娘も参加したので娘は車ではぐっすりでした（笑）
船に乗ってポイントに移動後間もなくして待望のイルカを発見！
たくさんのイルカが群れを成して足の直ぐ下を泳いで行きました。
今回、最年少の参加少し心配していたのですが…これには娘も大興奮‼
その後カメのも会えたし、カヤックやパドルボートも体験出来て
大満足な一日でした。
スタッフの方々も終始明るくて楽しい雰囲気の中で過ごすことが出来ました。
是非、また行きたいです♪

There was also a Hawaiian dinner, but I opted for the affordable all-you-can-eat appetizers. It included four items like Thai-style grilled chicken and meatballs, along with a dessert cake. While it didn't feel luxurious, considering the $30 difference, the sunset, night view, and hula dance were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

ハワイアンディナーもあったのですが、金額の安いアペタイザー食べ放題にしました。タイ風の焼き鳥、肉団子など４品とデザートのケーキで、豪華感はなかったですが３０ドルの違いがあるとかと言えば、サンセットや夜景、フラダンスなどの主役は素晴らしく、充分堪能できました。

I honestly didn't have high expectations since I was just accompanying my sister, but it was really great! The calm blue sea, the distant view of Waikiki, the warm sun, and the pleasant breeze allowed me to have an amazing time like I’ve never experienced before. The bus and boat staff were all cheerful and really lifted our spirits. I'm someone who gets motion sickness easily, but I took some medication beforehand, so I was totally fine. Depending on the season, I recommend the first morning course. Even in the early morning, I thought the sunlight was quite strong by the time we reached the parasailing spot, so it might get hot during the day while parasailing.

妹の付き添いだったので私は正直期待していなかったのですが、とっても良かったです‼︎青い穏やかな海、遠くに見えるワイキキの街、暖かい太陽と心地よい風で今まで体験したことのない素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。またバスやボートのスタッフの方々はみんな陽気で気分を盛り上げてくれます。私は酔いやすい方ですが酔い止めを飲んで行ったので全然大丈夫でした。時期にもよるとは思いますが、私は朝一番のコースをおすすめします。朝一番でもパラセイリングのスポットに行くまで結構日差しが強いなと思ったので、昼間だとパラセイリング中も暑くなるかも。

We were picked up in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue at Waikiki Beach at 9 AM and arrived at the port, just past Ala Moana, in about 30 minutes. We waited for about 45 minutes for the previous tour to finish. While I thought about how time flows in Hawaii, the kids enjoyed watching the fish at the bottom of the port in the different water compared to Japan, and my wife had fun chatting in broken English with a woman in her twenties from New Zealand who was on the same tour.

After a fun wait, a cruiser that can hold about ten people arrived, and we boarded with some anxiety for our first parasailing experience. As we headed out to sea, preparing for about 15 minutes (putting on the harness and life jackets), it suddenly began. Suspended from the parachute at the end of the rope connected to the boat, we were lifted over 100 meters into the air, and from below, we looked like tiny dots.

Once we were up in the air, the feeling was incredible, surrounded by the deep blue sea and the bright blue sky. Depending on the situation, we were sometimes higher than small airplanes or helicopters, so if you're not good with heights, you might want to skip this. For those who are not comfortable, the slight swaying in the wind can be quite terrifying, so motion sickness medication is a must.

We were in the air for about 5 to 10 minutes, splashed down onto the water briefly, and then went back up into the sky before landing on the boat. The crew consisted of two people: the captain and a supporter, who spoke some broken Japanese and made the experience enjoyable. They were very considerate and gentle, especially towards small children and women.

My son said this was "the most fun" part of our trip, and we would definitely like to participate again if we come back to Oahu.

朝９時にワイキキビーチのデュークカハナモク像前からピックアップしてもらい、アラモアナを少し過ぎた港へ約30分で到着。
そこで前のツアーが終わるのを45分くらい待ったでしょうか、これがハワイ時間の流れ方かと思いつつも、子供たちは日本と違う住んだ水で港の底にいる魚たちを見て楽しみ、妻は片言の英語でツアーが一緒になったニュージーランドの20代女性と会話を楽しんでました。
楽しく待ち時間をすごしたのちに10名程が乗れるクルーザーが到着、初めてのパラセイリングに不安も感じながら乗船。
青い海に白い波を立てながら15分ほどパラセイリングの準備（ワイヤーやライフジャケット着用）をしながら沖に出たところで、突然はじまります。
船に繋がれたロープ先のパラシュートに吊るされて100m以上の上空へ、下から見てると豆粒くらいになります。
上空にあがると気分は最高、真っ青の空と眼下の深青の海に囲まれ絶景です。
遠くに小型飛行機やヘリコプターより場合によっては高くなるので高いのが苦手な人はやめた方がいいかもしれません、苦手な人だと少し風で揺れる事もあるので恐怖以外の何物でもないと思われます、酔い止めは必須です。
5分～10分程上空にいて、一度海面にちゃぷんと着水してもう一度空へ、それから船の上に着地します。
クルーはキャプテンとサポーターの２名です、片言の日本語で色々はなして盛り上げてくれ楽しい時間をすごせました。
小さい子供や女性にも優しく、気遣いも非常に紳士です。
今回の旅行で「一番楽しかった」と息子の感想です、またオアフに来たらぜひ参加したいと思います。

On the second day in Hawaii, we chose a submarine as our first activity. We boarded the boat from the pier, looking forward to the blue sea, and headed to the transfer point for the submarine. The captain and other crew members walked around the boat, allowing us to take photos freely. We were lucky to encounter a sea turtle along the way.

However, the view of the sea from inside the submarine wasn't very clear, and perhaps due to bad timing, we could only see fish from a distance, which was a bit different from what we had expected. There were many participants from Europe and America, and the atmosphere was lively thanks to the English guide, but it seemed that those who didn't understand English felt a bit left out. I wished there had been a bit more entertainment value. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were all cheerful and very nice.

ハワイについて二日目、最初のアクティビティとして潜水艦を選択。
青い海に期待して桟橋から船に乗り込み、潜水艦との乗り換え地点まで行きます。
キャプテンや他のクルーが船内を回り、カメラ撮影を気軽にしてくれます。
途中でウミガメに出会えたのがラッキーでした。
潜水艦の中から見る海は、あまり透明感を感じず、タイミングが悪かったのか魚も遠目に見えただけで少し期待とは異なっていました。
艦内は欧米からの参加者も多く英語ガイドによって盛り上がっていましたが、英語がわからない人たちは少し取り残された感があったように思えます。
もう少しエンターテイメント感があったらいいのになと感じました。
スタッフは日本語を話せませんが、みなさん明るくいい方ばっかりでした。

This Zipline adventure was the highlight of our trip. The whole experience was awesome! Our guides were a lot of fun.

We had a wonderful time on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. Met really nice people. The Crew was a lot of fun teaching us the hula. The sunset was beautiful. The food was great. Very organized.

We participated as a family of three: my husband, daughter, and two grandmothers. We chose this tour because I wanted to show my grandmother, who can't swim, the underwater world, and I also wanted to show my daughter the fish in the ocean from a submarine.

The guide was in English, so I couldn't understand much, but there were translated guide messages in various languages coming through the headphones inside the submarine, which was quite educational.

Since I have no experience diving, it was refreshing to see the sunken ships and planes that serve as homes for the fish.

It was nice to take a boat out to sea and then board the submarine; it felt like a bit of a bonus to be able to enjoy both experiences.

I thought it was a little cold inside the submarine.

夫婦＋娘＋祖母２名での参加でした。
泳ぐことが出来ない祖母に海中を見せたくて，また，娘に潜水艦で海の中の魚を見せたくてこのツアーを選びました。

ガイドが英語だったので全然わからなかったですが，艦内のヘッドフォンからは各国語に訳されたガイドメッセージが流れていたので色々と勉強になりました。

海に潜る経験がないので，廃船や廃飛行機が魚の住処として沈められているのを見ることができたのは新鮮でした。

船で沖合に出てそこから潜水艦に乗船できるのも，船にも乗れて少しお得な気分になりました。

艦内少し寒かったように思います。

We were picked up at the hotel at 7 AM and traveled by large bus to the pier. I was worried about the heavy rain in the mountains along the way, but fortunately, by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped. It was cloudy, but the sun started to shine, which was great. As I had researched beforehand, the water was about knee-deep, and we couldn't see the sandbar. The snorkeling experience was serious, and the staff provided thorough instructions while we wore life jackets. The corals and fish were beautiful, but if the weather had been a bit better, they might have looked even more stunning. The experience is quite dependent on the weather. We opted for a morning-only tour, and that was sufficient.

朝の７時にホテルピックアップで大型バスで船着き場まで移動。途中山中では大雨でどうなることかと心配しましたが幸い船に乗る頃には雨が止んでいて曇ってはいたものの日が射してきたので良かったです。事前に調べていた通り膝下くらいまで水が浸かりサンドバーは見れなかったです。シュノーケリングは本格的でライフジャケット着用でスタッフがきっちり教えてくれます。珊瑚や魚もキレイに見えましたがもう少し天気が良かったらもっとキレイに見えたのかも。天気にかなり左右されます。午前中だけのツアーにしましたがそれで十分でした。

Nice relaxing trip on the sailboat. You can walk around the boat, or even lay down on the mat. Sunset is nice if you are in to taking pictures.

Don't go for the appetizers: meatballs, chicken wings, and mix of crackers, just okay.

Lots of alcohol if you like to drink.

I had a great time! If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to relax a bit more in Haleiwa. My stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour as I was heading to go horseback riding. The garlic shrimp place I was aiming for opened about 15 minutes late, so I had to hurry and scarf down the garlic shrimp. It was delicious, but I wanted to savor it more and check out other shops as well.

とても楽しかったです！欲を言えばハレイワでもう少しのんびりしたかったなぁ。乗馬に向かうためハレイワ滞在は一時間位でした。お目当てのガーリックシュリンプ屋さんの開店が15分ほど遅れて急いでガーリックシュリンプをかきこむことに。美味しかったけどもっと味わいたかったし、他のお店も見たかったです。

loved it. a little windy and cold. would be great if there was an outdoor shower to rinse off after for non-hotel guests

kids totally loved it. couldn't stop talking about it after.

This was my second time paragliding, and it was so much fun! Amazing!

However, regarding the "height" that was initially set, I'm not sure if it was really the length I signed up for. Since paragliding is done in pairs, I was with someone else, and I wondered if that person had signed up for the same height too.

パラセーリング自体は2回目ですが、とても楽しかったです！アメイジング！

しかし、最初に設定した「高さ」について、本当に申し込んだ長さなのかが不明。パラセーリングで飛ぶのはペアなので、他の人と一緒だったのですが、その人も同じ高さを申し込んだの？？と思ってしまいました。

I tried parasailing in Hawaii for the first time. At first, I thought it was a bit scary, but once I actually did it, the view was breathtaking, and I wanted to do it again.

初めてハワイでパラセーリングをやりました。
最初はは少々怖いなと思っていたのですが、実際やってみると絶景でまたやりたいと思えました。

Great trip, we were very lucky and saw 6 turtles up close in clear water. The crew were great and the sail was a delight! Definitely worth it!

Actually, I'm weak on boats and afraid of water, but this time I participated because of my family's wishes. However, thanks to the staff and the life vests, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind, and the boat didn't rock, so I could enjoy my cocktails deliciously. Above all, I was very satisfied to see so many sea turtles up close! They came so close that I almost bumped into one. I thought I would like to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

じつは船に弱く水も怖いのですが、今回は家族の希望で参加しました。
ところが、スタッフやライフベストのおかげでシュノーケリングも安心して楽しめ、船も揺れないのでカクテルを美味しく飲めました。
何より間近で海ガメをたくさん見られたことに大満足！危うくぶつかりそうになるほどでしたよ。
次のハワイ旅行の時もまた参加したいなと思いました。最高の思い出をありがとうございました！

It was my first experience, and it was amazing! I felt a bit seasick during the wait on the boat, but thanks to the cheerful and efficient crew, I had a great time. I even saw turtles from the boat!

初めての体験でしたが、最高でした！ボートでの待ち時間に少し酔いましたが、ノリと手際の良いクルーのおかげもあり楽しい時間でした。ボートから亀も見えました！

It was my first surfing experience with her.

Being able to surf in the dream destination of Hawaii was amazing, and the instructor was kind and dedicated, making it a truly enjoyable time. Even for someone like me who can't speak English, it was completely fine.

If you sign up as a pair, it seems you can get photos for free, so we were able to capture our surfing moments.

At the end, you can give a tip (it's not mandatory), so I think it's good to have a little money on hand.

彼女と一緒に彼女とはじめてのサーフィン体験でした。

憧れのハワイでサーフィンができて、インストラクターの方も優しく、ストイックで本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました。
英語が話せない私でも全然大丈夫でした。

2人で申し込むと写真も無料でもらえるようで、波乗り姿をゲットできました。

最後にチップを渡す(強制ではないです)ので、少しお金はあった方がいいと思います。

It was fully booked since I made a reservation for Friday night. I was worried if it would be too crowded. The sunset was hidden due to the clouds, but I was able to see the fireworks from the Hilton clearly.

The deck railing side was filled with people who boarded earlier, so I had to view from between them while sitting. The buffet tables are first-come, first-served, so if you board late, you won't get a good seat with a nice view. Since there is time until the fireworks, it might be a good idea to think about how to spend your time. The welcome drink was too sweet, and the alcoholic cocktails were just okay. Each person gets one lobster, so be careful not to overeat. It's a pretty standard buffet.

金曜日の夜に予約したので満席でした。こんなに乗れるのかな？と心配に。曇りでサンセットは隠れていて見られませんでしたが、ヒルトンの花火はしっかり見られました。
デッキの手すり側は先に乗船出来た人達で埋まっており、座ってだと人の隙間から見る感じ。
ビュッフェのテーブルは自由席で、遅く乗船になると眺めのいい席は座れないです。花火までは時間があるので、過ごし方を検討してみるといいかもしれません。ウェルカムドリンクは甘過ぎ、アルコールカクテルもちょっと・・・。ロブスターも一人ひとつ出るので食べ過ぎ注意。無難なビュッフェかと。

Horseback riding in the magnificent scenery was amazing! The horse was a bit of a foodie, stopping to eat grass along the way, but overall, they were all well-behaved and walked along without much need for steering, so you can participate with peace of mind.

雄大な景色の中の乗馬最高でした！食いしん坊なお馬さんで途中で草食べたり、止まっちゃったりしましたが、基本はみんなお利口さんにで特に操縦しなくても歩いてくれるので安心して参加してください。

I couldn't see the sandbar on the beach, but I had a great time playing in the beautiful sea!!! I was very satisfied to see sea turtles. However, I thought I would be able to snorkel with the sea turtles, but it was just from the boat.

砂浜のサンドバーは見れなかったけど、キレイな海で遊べて最高でした！！！
海亀にも会えて大満足です。ただ海亀と一緒にシュノーケルできると思っていましたが、船の上から眺めるというものでした。

Adam was an awesome instructor! Pick up and drop off was simple and easy. Staff all very friendly. Loved it!

It's a bit pricey, and there's no place to take a break from the heat, but it's nice that you can interact not only with dolphins but also with birds and fish.

ちょっと高いのと、暑さしのぎの休憩場所がないのが難点ですが、イルカだけでなく、鳥や魚とふれあえるのがいいですね

The crew was super nice and very informative. I felt very safe while sailing and snorkling. A crew member snorkles with you and helps you spot the turtles. There were lots of turtles to be seen! We were fortunate to go on a day that there were only about 10 of us, so we basically had the boat to ourselves! It was great! I mean you are snorkling with green sea turtles and sailing in Hawaii "what's not to love"?! I highly recommend Holokai Catamaran Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail (from Waikiki Beach) / Snorkel Cruise!

They will come to pick you up at the hotel on time.
We went out to sea with a group of ten on a motorboat.
If you let them know about the photos ($30) before your turn, it will go smoothly.
I was relieved that I could leave my belongings (change of clothes, phone, wallet, etc.) on the boat while flying. However, I recommend bringing only the essentials. For the flight, it's best to wear a swimsuit and a T-shirt, and go barefoot. The instructions are in English, so I didn't understand everything, but it was fine. (I think it's better to be prepared to get wet.)
I wore sunglasses while flying, and it was fine. If you're not afraid of heights, I definitely recommend it.

時間とおりにホテルに迎えに来てくれます。
船（モーターボート）で10人のグループで沖に出ました。
写真（30ドル）は順番が来るまでに伝えとくと、スムーズに行きます。
手荷物（着替え、携帯、財布類等）は、飛んでいる間、船に置いておけるので安心しました。但し、必要最低限のものを持っていくことをお勧めします。飛ぶときの格好は水着にTシャツ、裸足で、説明は英語なのでわからなかったが、大丈夫です。（濡れる覚悟で参加した方がよろしいと思います。）
私はサングラスもして飛びましたが平気でした。高所恐怖症じゃなかったら、ぜひお薦めです。
