Beach activities are great, but leisurely horseback riding next to Hawaii's beautiful ocean is a precious experience. The view is so good that it really lifted my spirits. However, since you ride for an hour, it can get a bit painful on your backside (laughs). If I could wish for more, it would be that since we only walked, it would be even more fun if we could run. This experience sparked a strong interest in horseback riding for me. By the way, no Japanese is understood at all. All the instructions were in English. However, the horse was very smart and walked and stopped without any signals, so I felt completely at ease.

ビーチアクティビティーも良いですが、ハワイの綺麗な海の横でのんびり乗馬も貴重な体験です。
とにかく眺めが良いので、テンションがあがりました。ただ、1時間も乗っているので、お尻が痛くなります(笑)
欲を言うと、歩くだけなので、走れるようになったらさらに楽しいだろうと、このことがきっかけで、乗馬に非常に、興味を持ちました。
ちなみに、日本語は全く通じないです。
説明は全て英語でした。
ただ、馬はとてもお利口さんで、何も合図しなくても、歩いたり止まったりしてくれて、何の不安もありませんでした。

The hotel shuttle picked us up, and off we went to the ocean! Once we put on the parachute, we soared up into the sky!!! We could see Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki. However, be careful of seasickness.

ホテルに送迎の方が迎えに来てくださりいざ海へ！
パラシュートを付けると一気に空中まで！！！
ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキの街が見れました。
ただし船酔にはご注意を。

We went with about 10 people. There was no one who understood Japanese, and the waiting time was just very shaky, as others were doing. I think it would be fun if you don't get motion sickness, but out of 8 people, 5 ended up getting sick.

10名くらいで乗り合わせていきました。
日本語がわかるかたもおられず、他の方がやっておられる待ち時間がとにかく揺れます。
酔わなければ楽しいと思いますが、8名中5名が寄って吐きました。

This is my third time at Sandbar, and it's the first time the weather has been bad and cold. There's a world of difference between good and bad weather, but the staff were very attentive, and I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, so it was a decent tour overall.

サンドバー三回目で天気が悪く寒いのは初めてです。天気が良いのと悪いのでは天と地の差が有りますがスタッフが色々気を使ってくれシュノーケルでは亀も見れたのでまずまずのツァーでした。

The captain was really lively and very American, which made it fun. On the boat, there was the captain and another person who helped with life jackets, provided explanations, and took photos. That person could understand some Japanese, which was reassuring.

Once we got to the top, they played around by shaking the ropes and splashing us in the water when we landed, which was amusing! But it was a lot of fun.

I bought an SD card with the photos they took for $30. I didn't know there would be such an expense and didn't have any money with me, but when I explained my situation to a Japanese speaker on the boat, they said they would keep the data for three days, so I was able to purchase the data safely.♡

When I got home and looked at the data, I was really happy because all the photos were great!!

Everyone was very kind, which was wonderful!♡

キャプテンがすごくノリがよくすごくアメリカンな方で面白かったです。ボートにはキャプテンともう1人ライフジャケット？をつけてくれたり説明してくれたり写真を撮ってくれる方が載っていました。
その方は多少の日本語が通じるので安心しました安心しました

上まで上がったところでロープを揺らしたり着地の時に水に落とされたり、遊ばれました笑 でも楽しかったです

$30で撮ってくれた写真のSDカードを買いました。
そんな出費があるとは知らずお金を持っていませんでしたがボートに乗っていた日本語がわかる方に説明したら3日間データを置いといてくれるとゆうことで無事データを買うことができました♡

家に帰ってデータを見を見たらすごくいい写真ばかりで良かったです！！

みなさんすごく親切な方で良かったです♡

I'm a beginner at horseback riding, but the horses are very well-trained, so I feel safe. I've really come to love horses. You can enjoy both the view of the ocean and riding through the windbreak forest. It's a wonderful time.

乗馬は初心者ですが、馬がとても馴れているので安心です。とても馬が好きになりました。海の眺めと防風林の乗馬両方楽しめます。とてもいい時間です。

This was an amazing experience! The boat captain and assistant were great--very capable and a lot of fun. Definitely unforgettable!

You can ride a underwater scooter and dive into the sea to interact with beautiful fish. The staff is present to take photos for you, and the service is excellent.

水中スクーターに乗って海中に潜り、キレイな魚と触れ合えます。スタッフ立会いで写真も撮ってもらえてサービスも充実してます。

This was my second time trying parasailing since my experience in Okinawa, and the parasailing in Hawaii was full of speed and excitement. The staff took fun photos and provided great service, making it a wonderful memory.

パラセーリングは沖縄で挑戦して以来2度目でしたが、ハワイのパラセーリングはスピード感満載でエキサイティングでした。スタッフが面白い写真を撮ってくれたりサービスも充実してて良い思い出になりました。

We participated in the tour after convincing my husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic, that we could ride horses for 45 minutes. At Dole Plantation, we arrived early and bought pineapple ice as soon as it opened, leisurely looking at souvenirs and fresh pineapples. If we had more time, I would have liked to ride the train, but we had to give up after just 30 minutes. During the ride, there were explanations about various sights, including the "This is a tree, that is a tree" and the location of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We also got a tour of Haleiwa, where we got off at our desired spots and headed to horseback riding after about an hour and a half. We enjoyed visiting CAMARON for garlic shrimp, a red dirt T-shirt shop, SOHO, and other stores. The main horseback riding took us along the coast and through the forest, and we said goodbye to the horses with a bittersweet feeling. On the way back, we finally got to see the Honu at North Shore. My husband was satisfied, and we want to go again.

45分乗馬を乗れるという事で、乗り気でなかったダンナを説得してツアーに参加。ドールプランテーションは朝早く、開店と同時にパイナップルアイスを買い、のんびりとお土産やはえたパイナップルを見ました。時間があれば汽車に乗りたいけど30分のみで断念。途中この木なんの木～や、パール・ハーバー日本軍侵入場所など車内で解説があり、初のハレイワも車に乗ってグルッと説明を受け行きたい所へ降り約1時間半頃に乗馬へ。私たちはCAMARONのガーリックシュリンプ、赤土のTシャツ屋さんやSOHO、他の店を回り楽しめました。メインの乗馬は乗って海岸沿いや森の中を回り最後は名残惜しい位の気持ちで馬とお別れしました。帰りにノースショアの海で念願のHonuにも会えました。ダンナさんも満足、また行きたいです。

We had a great experience at the Luau even though we had a lot of rain. Don't worry, they provided ponchos for everyone, which helped keep us warm too. My son loved the fire dancers and the food was good too. The chief who narrated the show was hilarious.

It was a honeymoon trip to Hawaii, but until we joined this tour, my husband wasn't very comfortable with Hawaii. He hadn't participated in any tours voluntarily and the food didn't quite suit him, so he didn't have a very enjoyable impression of Hawaii leading up to this tour. However, during this tour, we got on a boat, swam in the ocean surrounded by dolphins, and even swam with sea turtles, which are hard to encounter even in Okinawa, Japan. He was very excited and enjoyed it, and seeing him like that made me feel relieved and happy.

Additionally, throughout the tour, a photographer accompanied us and took photos that we couldn't have captured ourselves. Although it was an extra charge, we decided to purchase them, and they became a page in our wonderful memory album. My husband has a lot of snorkeling experience in Okinawa, but he mentioned that it's rare to find a company like this one that allows you to swim for such a long time.

Not only did we swim with dolphins and sea turtles, but the boat also moved to different spots where we could swim with fish. They even had canoes available if we wanted, which showed great consideration.

On the boat, there were services provided at intervals, such as pineapple, juice, snacks, lunch burgers, and even dancing, which made it more than just a sea activity and kept the guests entertained. The crew, led by the organizer Yuriko, along with the young boys, were all kind and pleasant, making for a very enjoyable day. This was the best memory of our time in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

ハネムーンでのハワイ旅行でしたが、このツアーに参加するまでは旦那さんがあまりハワイに馴染めなく、というのも食事が少し合わなかったり、自発的に参加するツアーにまだ参加していなかったので、ハワイに対してあまり楽しい印象がないまま今回のこちらのツアー日を迎えました。けれどこのツアーで船に乗り、イルカに囲まれて海を泳ぎ、また日本では沖縄であってもなかなか遭遇できないウミガメとも一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても興奮し、楽しんでいました。その姿を見て私もほっとするとともにうれしい気持ちになりました。
またこのツアーではずっとカメラマンさんが付き添って下さり、自分たちでは取れないような写真を撮影してくれました。有料にはなりますが、私たちはぜひにと思い購入させていただき、良き思い出のアルバムの1ページとなりました。旦那さんは沖縄でのシュノーケリング経験が多くあるのですが、こちらの催行会社のように、長い時間たっぷりと泳がせてくれるところは少ないと言っていました。
またイルカやウミガメだけでなく、その後もポイントを変えて、魚とも一緒に泳げるスポットまで船を移動して下さり、希望すればカヌー等も用意があり、配慮が行き届いていたと思います。
船上でもパイナップル、ジュース、スナック、ランチのハンバーガー、船上でのダンスなど、時間を置いて少しずつサービス提供があり、ただ海のアクティビティだけをするということではない、ゲストを飽きさせない工夫が凝らされていたと思います。
乗組員の方もまとめ役のユリコさんを筆頭に、若い男の子たちもみなさん親切で感じがよく、とても気持ちの良い一日を過ごすことができました。ハワイでの一番の思い出です。どうもありがとうございました。

We were blessed with great weather on the day of our trip, and we encountered many dolphins right after setting sail! I was also very satisfied to see a turtle. While snorkeling, those who wished could also experience sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, so it's recommended for those who want to try a little bit of marine sports without having to sign up specifically for them. A photographer accompanied us, so we could purchase photo data, allowing us to capture memories even without a waterproof camera. It was a very enjoyable time in a friendly atmosphere!

当日はお天気にも恵まれ、
出航してすぐにたくさんのイルカに出会えました！
ホヌにも会えて大満足♡
シュノーケルをしながら、
希望者はシーカヤックやSAPも体験できるので、
わざわざマリンスポーツとして申し込みをしなくても、ちょっとした体験をしてみたい方にもオススメです。
カメラマンさんが同行しているので、写真のデータも購入出来、防水カメラを持っていなくても、思い出が残せます。
和気あいあいとした雰囲気で、とても楽しい時間でした✩

We participated as a couple on the first flight of the day.
I thought I would get motion sickness, so I took some motion sickness medicine!
There were a total of four couples, including us, and everyone was really nice, taking pictures of each other!
It seems that if you want the staff to take your picture, you need to let them know before you fly.
We chose to go up to 150 meters, and I was amazed by the beautiful blue of the ocean that you can't see in Japan!
When the wind blew, it felt like swinging on a swing, and I thought it was scary! But thanks to the skilled captain's maneuvering, we quickly moved to a spot with less wind, which made me feel safe.
I had heard that lying down helps with motion sickness, so I relaxed with my legs stretched out in the boat's seat.
Since there were only four couples, there was plenty of space, and the staff didn't say anything to me, so if you're worried about seasickness, I recommend trying that.
Along the way, a lovely lady from Okayama even offered me her lap to rest my head on, and thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling sick at all!
I wish I had asked for her contact information... Thank you so much for that!
The captain and the staff all prioritize safety.
Thank you very much!

朝イチの便で夫婦で参加しました。
元々乗り物酔いがひどいと思ってたので、酔い止めを飲みました！
私たち含め全部で4組でしたがみなさんとっても感じのいい方で、お互い写真を撮り合いました！
スタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらいたい場合は、飛ぶ前に言っておかないとダメなようです。
150メートルにしたのでが、日本では見れないような海の青さに感動しました！
風が吹くとブランコを漕いでるみたいにユーラユーラ揺れて怖っっ！と思いましたが、敏腕の船長さんの操縦で、すぐ風が弱いところへと移動させてくれるので安心でした(^_^)
乗り物酔い対策は、寝っ転がると酔わないと聞いていたので、船の座席で足を伸ばし
てリラックスしてました。笑
4組だったので座席に余裕があったからか、スタッフさんにも別に何も言われなかったので、参加予定の方で船酔いが気になる方はそうしてみてください。
途中、岡山県から来られた素敵な奥様に膝枕までしていただき、、お陰で全く酔わずに楽しむことができました！
連絡先を聞いていたら良かった、、と思っております。その節は本当にありがとうございました。
船長もスタッフの方々も、安全第一に努めてくださいます。
ありがとうございました！

I was nervous until we set sail, but as soon as all eight of us came out of the water, we all exclaimed "Amazing!" The staff guided us to the turtles and took videos and photos for us. The pictures and videos were truly beautiful, and for just $135, they can be sent to the representative's computer for sharing! It makes for a great keepsake. You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

出航するまでは緊張でしたが、８人全員海から上がってくるなり「最高」の一言！
スタッフが亀の所まで誘導してくれたり、ビデオや写真を撮ってくれました。その写真やビデオが本当にきれいで何人でも＄１３５払えば代表者のパソコンに送られ拡散ＯＫ！良い記念になります。
酔い止めは必要かも

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.

ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

The Japanese driver who picked us up was chatty and funny. Right after we met, he was full of risqué jokes, probably because we were newlyweds. (laughs) The parasailing was great weather-wise, but it was quite bumpy, and even though I took motion sickness medicine, I ended up feeling nauseous. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness skip a meal or eat lightly!

I appreciated the crew's thoughtfulness when they offered the scent of orange peels and asked if I wanted to eat.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

送迎の日系おじさんがおしゃべりで面白かったです。
会ってすぐ 私たちが新婚だったからか下ネタ全開でした。(笑)
パラセーリングは天気は良かったのですが、結構揺れて酔い止めを飲んでいたのに酔ってしまいました。
酔いやすいかたは食事は抜くか少な目にする事をおすすめします！

乗組員の方が気を使ってオレンジの皮を匂わせてくれたり、食べる？と聞いてくれたり気遣いが嬉しかったです。

また機会があれば参加したいなと思いました。

The experience was enjoyable, but the Sea Life Park plan was more reasonably priced locally. My request for the lowest price guarantee was denied.

体験は楽しいですが、シーライフパークのプランは現地のほうが良心的でした。最低価格保証を申請しても却下されてしまいました。

I was very satisfied with the transportation, crew, and tour content. The crew was polite and helped us when we were in trouble. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to take lots of photos and practice snorkeling. The boat hardly rocked, and I didn't feel seasick.

The handmade hamburger for lunch was delicious! The only regret I have is that my shoulders got really sunburned, possibly because the sunscreen was too thin (laughs). This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!

送迎、乗組員、ツアー内容ともに大満足です。
乗組員も丁寧で、困っていると助けてくれたり、
サンドバーでの時間もたっぷりあり、写真をたくさんとったり、シュノーケルの練習をしたりできました。
船もほとんど揺れず、酔いはありませんでした。

お昼のハンバーガーが手作りで、お肉が美味しかったです‼
日焼け止めが薄かったのか、肩がめちゃくちゃ焼けたことだけが後悔です(笑)
またハワイにいったら参加したいツアーです‼

Kualoa Ranch / One-hour ATV course was enjoyable and meaningful. Women can also have fun (if they have the determination).

クアロア牧場 / 四輪バギー1時間コース は、有意義に楽しめました。
女性も、楽しめます(根性が、あれば)

This was the best experience in our lives. The guides were friendly and very helpful. I would go again with this group in a heart beat. Our pictures turned out great. The view was excellent and really enjoyable.

Our scheduled tour was canceled due to engine trouble. We were asked to reschedule for the next day, but since it was our return date, we strongly requested to join another boat tour that was departing 30 minutes later. There was only one other group besides us, and I think the parasailing time was longer than expected. We also got to drive the cruiser and were able to see whales in the distance. We took photos during the flight with another group using our smartphones and ended up purchasing the photos for $30. We chose the 120m height, which I thought was just right. It was a lot of fun, and my friend said it was the most enjoyable among all the marine sports.

当日予約していた時間にはエンジントラブルのため欠航となりました。翌日に変更をお願いされましたが、帰国日のため変更ができず強くお願いをし３０分後に出発する別のボートのツアーに参加しました。私たちの他に１組しかおらず、パラセーリングの時間も長かったと思います。クルーザーも運転させてもらい、遠くにクジラを見ることもできました。飛行中の写真をスマートフォンでもう一組と撮影し合いましたが、３０＄払って写真も購入しました。１２０mを選びましたが、高さも丁度よかったと思います。すごく楽しく友人はマリンスポーツの中で１番楽しかったと言っていました。

Last time, I went to Kualoa Ranch, so this time I came here.
The scenery was amazing, and I had a very peaceful time.
There were no other Japanese participants besides us, and the staff only spoke English.
Compared to Kualoa, there were fewer tourists, making it a hidden gem!

前回、クアロア牧場へ行ったので今回はこちらへ
景色が最高で、とっても穏やかな時間を過ごせました。
私たち以外、日本人の参加者は一組もおらず、アテンドは英語のみ。
クアロアに比べて観光客も少なく、穴場です！

This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.

The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.

We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.

It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.

初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。

サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。

移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。

移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^

I joined the tour because it was advertised as a Japanese-language tour, but the guide's Japanese was quite poor.

Also, depending on your seat, you might not be able to see the fish. It seems that the other side had colorful fish, but on the side I was sitting, I could only see a few horse mackerel and black fish.

Additionally, it was a plan that promised a diving certificate, but I ended up receiving nothing, and the treatment was the same as the regular plan.

I felt quite disappointed given my expectations, so I won't be participating again.

10時は日本語のツアーと書いてあったので参加しましたが、ガイドの日本語がかなり酷いです。

また、席側によって魚が見れない場合があります。
反対側はカラフルな魚がみれていたみたいですが、私が座った側はアジや黒い魚がちょこっと見れただけでした。

また、潜水証明書が貰えるプランでしたが何も貰う事なく終わり、扱いも通常のプランと同じでした。

期待していた分かなり残念な気持ちになったので、もう参加する事は無いです。

After sightseeing and exploring the North Shore (Haleiwa), we went horseback riding through the valley. At first, the owner, Mark, humorously and carefully explained how to use the reins and how to position ourselves based on the slope of the path. The horses are trained for polo and are all very well-behaved. We navigated up and down, sometimes progressing in a line along quite muddy paths. Leading the way was the staff member, Angel, who provided detailed explanations about the forest, stories of the royal family that once lived in the area, the wild boars that inhabit the region, and even about poisonous mushrooms. While there were moments of tension on the muddy slopes, we felt a strange sense of accomplishment afterward. There were also children in our group, around the middle school age, who enjoyed the horseback riding. A family horseback riding experience will surely become a lifelong memory.

ノースショア（ハレイワ）観光・散策後、渓谷を乗馬で散策するというもの。最初、馬の手綱の使い方、道の傾斜によるポジションの取り方をオーナーのマークさんが冗談交じりに丁寧に説明してくれます。馬はポロ競技用に調教されていて、お利口さん揃いです。アップダウンがあり、時にはかなり泥濘んだ道を一列になって進んでいきます。先頭はスタッフのエンジェルさん、森の話や、以前その地にあった王家の家の話、生息しているイノシシの話から毒キノコの話まで道すがら、それは丁寧に説明してくれます。泥濘んだ傾斜道など、時々緊張感を感じながらも終わったあとは不思議な達成感を感じられます。同じグループには小学校中学年くらいのお子さんもいて乗馬を楽しんでいました。家族で乗馬体験、一生の思い出になること間違いありません。

The welcome bus was clean, and we enjoyed drinks before boarding. There was also a service that took photos with our camera after we boarded. It was a packed experience. The ship was also clean, and we felt safe using it. We will use this service again.

迎えのバスもきれいで、乗船前にドリンクをいただき
乗船後も当方のカメラで写真を撮ってくれるサービスもあり
盛りだくさんでした
船もきれいで安心して利用することができましたまた利用します

This is my second time and I will still recommend it to my friends.

Saw the dolphins up close and it was fun.

Very safe and effortless.

I did the 120m parasailing! The person who picked us up was very playful and kept us laughing the whole time! However, the pickup person, the instructor, and the receptionist do not speak Japanese.

If you're unsure whether to choose 120m or 150m, I recommend the 120m! Since you're over the ocean, the height sensation doesn't feel much different, and for an additional $30, you can buy an SD card with several photos taken during the experience, making it almost the same price as the 150m option, which feels like a good deal!

Here’s a bit of a spoiler: when you finish flying, the rope automatically retracts and you return to the boat, but you get dropped into the sea from a low height... It feels like a splash. So, you will get wet! I brought denim shorts to change into, but there was no place to change, so I just wore my denim. Also, I was told to place my own towel on the seat to avoid wetting the bus, so definitely bring a towel!

- Something to wear over your wet swimsuit
- A towel

It's better to bring those. Lastly, for those using an iPhone 7 (which is water-resistant), it seems you can fly while holding your iPhone 7 (at your own risk), but just in case, bring a waterproof bag with a strap to ensure you don’t drop it, or it might sink to the bottom of the sea... It can also get in the way when you're holding onto the safety belt and you might drop it. The moment you take off is very powerful, so you might accidentally drop it (I left mine on the boat). If you attach a strap to a GoPro, it should be fine!

My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.

11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです
