There were a lot of participants on the tour! Most of them were Japanese, but there were also people from various other countries, which made it fun! The Angel's Sea was truly beautiful! It was very cold, but the clear, endless stunning scenery was amazing! The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and I was satisfied to see sea turtles! There was plenty of time for the final snorkeling session; it was cold at first, but as I got used to it, I was able to see corals and fish, and search for sea turtles, making for a fulfilling time! The guide was wonderful too!

ツアー参加者がとても多かったです！日本人がほとんどでしたが、ほかにもいろいろな国から参加されていたので、たのしかったです☆天使の海、ホントにキレイでした！とっても寒かったけど、透き通ったどこまでも続くとってもステキな景色でした！ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく、ウミガメも見れて満足です！最後のシュノーケルも時間がたっぷりあり、はじめは寒かったのですが、慣れてくるとサンゴと魚をみたり、ウミガメをさがしたり、充実した時間を過ごせました！ガイドさんもステキでした！

Hawaii is expensive let's be honest. This is a great trip for the money. We had a group of 15 from age 3-65. It was an amazing adventure for all. When we finished snorkeling, the boat ride around diamond head with cocktails and great music was perfect. Thank you to our Captain Ryan and crew for a laidback barefoot excursion. We will definitely do it again.

As the title suggests, the beauty of the scenery and the number of marine creatures visible greatly differ depending on where you sit. Inside the submarine, the seating is divided into the right and left rows, and this time, the left row was overwhelmingly better (we were in the right row). However, for us ordinary people who rarely have the chance to explore the ocean, it is undoubtedly a valuable experience. I believe this is one event you should definitely participate in when you come to Hawaii.

タイトルの通り、座る席で景色の美しさや見られる海洋生物の数が大きく異なる。潜水艦の中は右列と左列で分かれており、今回の潜水は圧倒的に左列が良かった（※自分達は右列でした）。ただし、なかなか海の中を冒険する機会がない我々一般人にとっては、貴重な体験となることは間違いない。
是非、ハワイに来た際は参加すべきイベントの１つだと思います。

It's almost a sin to miss ATV ride at Kualoa Ranch. Your Hawaiian adventure is incomplete if you haven't been to ATV rides. We have 2 boys aged 10 and 13 and the Multi-Passenger allowed them to experience this journey. Staff were great and our lead driver made sure we got the most of our ride.

Also shout out to Marisa Lopez at Veltra who provided great advice to my questions and was able to re-book due to weather. Great customer service!

This is the 1st time I have enrolled with Hans Hedemann and staff. Staff was really nice as my son and I took the surf class in the 2hr group lesson. Two hours is plenty of time for the group size and I did not have to wait for other surfers on the water at all. I had taken the KOA lessons (also on Waikiki) earlier and Hans' School is much better in terms of distance to paddle to get to the surf location as well as the student to instructor ratio. Our package also included shuttle, pictures and a T-shirt which is awesome. My son (14yrs) said it was the best activity of the trip which is great since it's so hard to impress teens now-a-days. Because of the inclusiveness of the package and the surf location, we would definitely repeat and highly recommend this school.

My husand and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with this romantic sunset dinner cruise. The atmosphere, entertainment, and food was perfect. Thanks for helping make our anniversary special! !!!!

The horseback riding at Kualoa was enjoyable and safe for a large group, making it fun even for beginners. The weather had a bit of rain at first, but it cleared up later, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kualoa Ranch with its mix of clouds and sunshine.

クアロアの乗馬は大人数で安心して廻れるので、ビギナーでも楽しめました。
天気は最初に少しだけ雨が降りましたが、後半は雨も上がって、曇ったり・晴れたりと素晴らしいクアロア牧場の景色も楽しめました。

I had the experience of swimming with dolphins twice on the Big Island. This time, we were blessed with good weather and sea conditions, and it was amazing to swim with a pod of dolphins in the relatively shallow, bright waters.

Thanks to the dolphins staying in one place and accompanying us, we didn't have to chase them around, which helped us conserve our energy. I really felt lucky. If I had to mention something... I wasn't a big fan of the super sweet juice in the pouch pack that was served for lunch. I would have preferred regular drinks like tea or coffee.

イルカと泳ぐツアーは、ハワイ島で２回経験していました。
今回、お天気・海のコンディションにも恵まれ、比較的浅瀬の日の差す明るめの海の中でイルカの群れと泳げたので最高でした。

イルカの群れも私達に付き合ってくれるように同じ場所にずっと留まるようにいてくれたお陰で、イルカの群れを追いかけ何度も乗船・ダイブということがなく体力も温存出来て、本当にラッキーでした。
しいて言えば・・・ランチで頂けるパウチパックの激甘ジュースがちょっと苦手でした。
お茶かコーヒーなど普通の飲み物が欲しかったです。

I signed up at the request of my children. I was worried about my 4-year-old and 6-year-old, but they were able to shake hands with the dolphins. They said kissing them smelled like fish, so they didn't do that (laughs). The dolphin pool was deeper than I expected, and since the kids couldn't touch the bottom, I had to hold them the whole time. We signed up for the first time slot in the morning, and after it was over, we were able to relax by having a meal in the park, watching the dolphin show, and playing on the playground equipment.

子供のリクエストで申し込みました。4歳と6歳の子供たち、大丈夫かなと心配していましたが、イルカと握手出来ました。キスは魚の匂いがすると言ってやりませんでしたが（笑）イルカのプールは思ったよりも深く、子供たちは足がつかないのでずっと抱っこしていました。朝一番の時間で申し込みましたが、終わって、パークの中で食事したり、イルカショーを見たり、遊具で遊んだりとゆったり過ごせました。

Private instruction was greatly informative. The group class should have been segregated from private and semi-private classes since they were not supervised as they should have been. they were like herding cats and safety was compromised.

The meeting point is in front of the Duke statue. It takes about 15 minutes to the dock. During that time, I was asked to sign an English waiver. There were just over 10 participants, and we were the only Japanese. The others spoke English, Korean, and Filipino.

At check-in, you need to present payment or a voucher to receive a ticket with the length of the rope indicated. When boarding the boat, you hand the ticket to the crew, but I don't think they check the rope length very carefully. I felt that everyone was treated the same during parasailing.

Once we headed offshore on the boat, we were fitted with parasailing equipment in the order we sat. There is storage for personal belongings at your feet, but since things can get wet and you might move seats, it's better to bring less.

Parasailing started with upbeat music playing loudly. We flew in pairs. The thigh straps served as a seat, making for a comfortable ride, similar to being on a high swing.

There were three unexpected things.

The first was that as a service, at the end of the parasailing, they drop you into the water. Americans love this kind of thing and everyone was really excited. An American on board even requested to do it twice! As a Japanese person, I wasn't quite prepared for getting wet.

The second was that a long time ago, when I did parasailing in Waikiki, it was near the beach, so I could see the coral well. This time, we were further out, so the water was deep and I couldn't see any coral, which was disappointing. There were also parasailing boats near the beach, so I think it's good to choose a tour based on your preference.

The third was that we were asked for tips on the boat. Since I participated with the mindset of a Japanese tour, I didn't have many small dollar bills on hand, which made me feel a bit apologetic.

The weather was perfect, the scenery was beautiful, and it was a very enjoyable experience without anything scary. For those considering participation, as mentioned earlier, you will get quite wet, so don't forget a bath towel. Also, bring some cash for tips.

集合はデューク像前。船着場まで約15分。その間、免責関係の英語の書面にサインを求められた。参加者は10名強。日本人は私たちのみ。他には英語、韓国語、フィリピン語…の人たち。
チェックイン時、支払いかバウチャーを提示し、ロープ長の記されたチケットをもらう。船に乗り込む際、チケットを乗務員に渡すのだが、ほぼロープ長は確認していないと思う。パラセーリング中も全員同じだとおもった。
ボートで沖合に出ると、座った順にパラセーリングの装備をつけてもらう。手荷物などは足元に収納があるが濡れたり、席を移動していくので少なめにした方が無難。
ノリノリの音楽を大音量でかけながらパラセーリングがスタート。2名ずつのフライ。
太ももの装備がイス代わりで乗り心地(?)も上々、高めの空中ブランコのような乗り心地。
3つ想定外な事があった。
1つ目はサービスでパラセーリングの最後に水中へドボンしてくれる。アメリカ人はこういう事が大好きでみんな大興奮。同乗のアメリカ人は2回つけて！とリクエストするくらい。日本人としては「え〜濡れる！」とやや心の準備が足りなかった。
2つ目は大昔、ワイキキでパラセーリングをしたときはビーチ近くでしたので珊瑚がよく見えた。今回は沖の方だったので海が深く珊瑚が見えず残念… ビーチの方でもパラセーリングのボートが出ていたので好みでツアーを選んでも良いと思う。
3つ目は船の中でチップを求められた事。日本のツアーの気分で参加したので少額のドル紙幣の持ち合わせがあまりなくちょっと申し訳なかった。
お天気も最高だったので、景色もよく、怖いこともなく、非常に楽しく参加できた。参加を検討されている方、前述の通りしっかり濡れるので、バスタオルをお忘れなく。また、チップも。

Great service. You normally have to get to Bay early. Parking is very limited. We overslept. We were able to make reservation and catch shuttle to Bay. They did all possible to fit us in with 2 -3 hours notice. There are 4 pickups a day in Waikiki. They have all gear you need on the shuttle or you can bring your own. Beautiful place

We departed from the harbor about an hour west of Waikiki. Once we set sail, we all participated in a ceremony to call the dolphins. Fortunately, there was already a pod of dolphins nearby, so we were able to jump into the water and see them up close without having to search for them. Although we were wearing wetsuits and life jackets, the dolphins swam close to us. During snorkeling time at the turtle spot, we were also allowed to try stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking. There were two Japanese staff members and the rest were foreigners, but everyone was friendly and cheerful. On the way back, we spotted a whale nearby! We were lucky to see it spyhopping and coming up to the surface for a breath.

ワイキキから1時間ほど西へ行った港から出港します。
出港したらイルカを呼ぶセレモニーをみんなでやります。
すると幸運にももう近くにイルカの群れがいたので、探すまでもなくすぐに海に入ってイルカを間近に見ることができました。
ウェットスーツにライフジャケットをつけているので、潜っていくことはできませんが、イルカの方が近くを泳いでくれました。
カメのいるところでスノーケリングタイムにはスタンダップパドルやシーカヤックもやらせてもらえます。
スタッフさんは2人は日本人、その他は外国人でしたが、みんなフレンドリーで明るいです。
帰りの途上、近くにクジラがいました！スパイホッピングしているところや、息継ぎをしに水面へ上がってきたところを見ることができ、ラッキーでした。

The meeting place had a slight delay with the bus, but since it was almost full, I thought it couldn't be helped as we headed to the location! (I even received a call the day before asking if I wanted to change to an afternoon bus because it was full.)

The shuttle bus arrived at our hotel in Waikiki, and we set off early in the morning! The female Japanese guide on the bus was talking non-stop throughout the journey, and while it seemed tough for her, I appreciated her effort to keep us entertained. Initially, I thought her demeanor might be a bit intimidating, but on the water, it turned out to be just right. She really brought everyone together and made it enjoyable!

In December, it can be cold in Hawaii! So, I was recommended to wear a wetsuit, which cost $10 in cash. Even when it's sunny, the water temperature can be chilly, so it's definitely better to be warm and enjoy it slowly!

As for the dolphins, I heard that they had searched for two hours the day before, so I was wondering how it would go... but we encountered them in just about five minutes! However, we couldn't get too close...

Since we found them so quickly, the captain decided to look for them again, and after another five minutes in the water, we faced the dolphins at close range! The dolphins jumped several times, and everyone was moved by the experience.

We then changed locations to see sea turtles. I spotted about three or four swimming around, and there was even a baby sea turtle at the surface, looking incredibly cute!

After that, we enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, ate hamburgers made by the captain, danced the hula, and the crew was cheerful, making for a fun cruising experience!

They took good care of anyone who got seasick or injured. That said, it's best to keep in mind that you should take responsibility for yourself!

The photos were about 600 for around $60. We couldn't afford them, but I heard the photographer was very skilled. I was happy to receive a group photo as a complimentary service. This cruising experience was incredibly fun and became the best memory of our honeymoon!

集合場所にちょっとバスは遅れてましたが、ほぼ満員だったため、しょうがないかなーと思いながら、現地へ！（前日に満員だから午後の便に変えませんか？と電話があったぐらい）

ワイキキのホテルに送迎バスが着き、朝早くから出発！
バスでは日本語ガイドの女性も道中ずっとしゃべりっぱなしで大変そうでしたが、私たちを楽しませるために一所懸命になってくれてるんだなーと好感が持てました。
最初は威圧的かも…と思った雰囲気も、海上ではそれがちょうど良いぐらい。
皆を引っ張って盛り上げてくれて楽しめました！

12月はハワイでも寒い！とのことで、ウェットスーツをお勧めされました。10ドル現金払いでした。やっぱり水温は晴れてても寒くあったほうが絶対ゆっくり楽しめます！

肝心のイルカですが、前日に二時間探したっていう話も聞いて、どうなるんだろう…と思ってましたが、なんと5分ほどで会えました！
でもあんまり近寄れず…

あんまり早く会えたんで、船長ももう一回探してみようということで、またまた5分ほどで海に飛び込み、今度は至近距離でイルカと対面！
イルカはジャンプを何度もしてくれ、全員が感動していました。

場所を変えて今度は海ガメ。
3,4匹泳いでるのが見えました。赤ちゃん海ガメも水面にいて、とてもかわいい表情まで！

その後はスタンドアップパドルを楽しんだり、船長の作ってくれたハンバーガーを食べたり、フラダンスを踊ったり、クルーの皆さんも陽気で楽しいクルージングでした！

酔ってしまったり、ケガをしてしまった人がいてもしっかりケアをしてくれてました。
とは言え、基本は自己責任と思っておいたほうが良いです！

写真は約600枚で60ドルぐらいでした。私たちは予算的に手が出なかったのですが、カメラマンがとてもいい腕の人らしいです。
集合写真はサービスでもらえたので嬉しかったです。
今回のクルージングはとても楽しく、新婚旅行の一番の思い出になりました！

This was a must do activity and was made excellent by our host "Cousin Bo" who was informative and entertaining. The event itself was fantastic, the show was very professional and the story of the Pacific islands well executed. The fire dance at the end was visually stunning and well worth it. Location was beautiful and the trip there was pretty too. The activities and food were probably not my ideal, but we would absolutely recommend going for the actual performance. We booked the royal experience. The chief is a real comedian and the evening was good fun all round.

This was my second visit to Gunstock Ranch. This time, I mistakenly entered "Kahuku" instead of "Lai'e" into the rental car's navigation system, so I got quite lost before arriving... Upon arrival, I signed the liability waiver, had my luggage stored, and borrowed a helmet before heading out for horseback riding! The course was supposed to be one hour, but I think we ended up riding for over an hour. Last time, we had photos taken at the photo points, but this time, since the Travel Maker's donkey was with us (laughs), the staff member seemed to forget about taking pictures, so we didn't get any... However, the horses were all smart and gentle, making for a very pleasant riding experience. I would love to experience horseback riding here again on my next trip to Hawaii.

２度目のガンストック牧場。
今回はレンタカーのカーナビ入力で「ライエ」ではなく間違って「カフク」にしてしまったのでだいぶ迷いながら到着しました・・・
到着すると免責書類にサインをし、荷物を預かってもらい、ヘルメットを貸してもらいいざ乗馬！！
１時間コースでしたが１時間以上乗馬をしていたかと思います。
前回は写真ポイントで写真を撮って頂いたのですが、今回はトラベルメーカーのロバちゃん（笑）もついてきていたので、スタッフのお姉さんも写真のことを忘れていたのか、写真は撮って頂けませんでした・・・
しかし馬たちもかしこく大人しい馬ばかりでとても気持ちが良い乗馬体験が出来ました。
次回もハワイへ行った際はここで乗馬を体験したいです。

Best ATV tour I have ever be on, and I've been on a lot. The view was incredible. I can't wait til my next trip, try a new adventure at the Kualoa Ranch.

We had a great time on our trip and the guys were funny. We went on the last trip of the day and it felt a bit rushed. I paid extra for the Xtreme Parasail package which advertises 10-12 minutes but only got just over 6 minutes from my recorded GoPro time. We ended up going with the photo package and the pics turned out great. Thank you for the great experience.

We enjoyed the cruise. The staff was very attentive to us. Dinner was first. Unfortunately the dinner lasted through the sunset and we were seated on the opposite side of the boat. So didn't really see the sunset. We did the crab legs dinner. It was nice. Make sure you get seconds when they offer. They come around a 1 time. The entertainment was fun. The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.

This time, due to time constraints, we opted for this optional tour separate from the travel agency's tour. We chose the highest height of 150 meters. There were four other groups besides us, making a total of five groups. First, we gathered at the Ambassador Hotel near our accommodation and took a trolley, arriving at the port in about 10 minutes. The check-in was quick, as we just showed the voucher saved on our smartphone, and it was done in five minutes! Then we set sail!

There were some waves, but it wasn't enough to make anyone seasick. However, one lady from the first pair slipped and hit her bottom hard (laughs). The other three groups finished without any issues. The Chinese couple in front of us handed us their smartphone, and we took a ton of pictures from takeoff to landing (including one where they were kissing).

When it was our turn, the staff asked in English, "Shall we take a photo? It's $35," to which I replied, "YES," and we got ready to fly. We were told that using a selfie stick was at our own risk, but we brought one along. The height of 150 meters was scarier than I imagined, but I got used to it after a while and was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and even whales!!! It was also fun when the staff playfully lowered us to the point where our feet got wet before we were picked up.

Since we were the last group, it felt like we flew for a bit longer. In the end, we received an SD card and paid $35 plus a tip. On the way back, instead of taking the shuttle bus, we walked along Waikiki Beach and stopped by Ala Moana Center before heading home.

We anticipated some splashes while on the boat, so we wore swimsuits. I think it's better to wear a swimsuit or clothes that can get wet. After returning, I was very satisfied to see that they had taken 70 photos for us. I highly recommend everyone to join this tour!!!

今回は時間の都合もあり旅行会社のツアーとは別にこのオプショナルツアーを申し込みました。高さは一番高い150メートルを選択しました。
自分たちの他に4組いたので計5組でした。まず宿泊していたホテルの近くにあるアンバサダーホテルに集合してトロリーに乗りそこから10分程で港に到着しました。手続きもスマートフォンに保存していたバウチャーを見せて５分で終了！そして出航！
波は少しありましたが船酔いで吐くほどではありませんでした。しかし、最初のペアの1人のおばちゃんが滑ってお尻強打してました（笑）他の3組は何事も無く無事に終了。
私達の前の中国人カップルにはスマホを渡され飛び立つところから回収されるところまで写メを爆裂撮りました。(チューしてるところも)
私達の順番になりスタッフから「写真撮ろうか？35ドルだよ」と英語で言われ「YES」と答え飛ぶ準備をしました。自撮り棒は自己責任でということだったのですが持って飛びました。
150メートルという高さは想像以上に高くて怖かったのですが、しばらくすれば慣れてしまいワイキキの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッド、クジラも見えて大満足でした！！！回収される前にスタッフのイタズラで足が水に浸かるぐらいまで降ろされたのも楽しかったです。
最後の1組だったため飛んでる時間も若干長かった気がします。最後にSDカードをもらい35ドル+チップを払いました。帰りは、送迎のバスに乗らずワイキキのビーチを歩いてアラモアナセンターに寄って帰りました。
船に乗っている間水しぶきがあると予想していたので私達は水着を着用していきました。水着を着用するか、濡れても良い服を着て行った方が良いと思います。
帰ってから撮って頂いた写真を見ると70枚も撮ってくれていて大変満足でした。
皆さん是非このツアーに参加することをお勧めします！！！

I chose Gunstock Ranch from the many horseback riding plans available. Since I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, I can't compare, but I truly recommend Gunstock Ranch. First of all, the horses are calm and easy to ride. I had no anxiety at all. I didn't understand the English explanations very well, but it's reassuring even for first-timers. And above all, the course is fantastic. There are mountains and the sea, so I wasn't bored from start to finish. This time, I took the one-hour course, and I think it's just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, my legs might get tired...

たくさんある乗馬プランの中から、このガンストック牧場を選びました。他の乗馬を知らないので、比べられませんが、ガンストック牧場は本当にお勧めです。まずは馬がおとなしくて乗りやすいです。全く不安がありませんでした。英語の説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、初めての方でも安心です。そして何よりもコースが最高です。山あり海ありで、最初から最後まで退屈しませんでした。今回は1時間コースでしたが、調度良い時間だと思います。それ以上長いと足が疲れてしまうかも・・・。

We formed groups of four and enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride while taking in the seaside views. The horses were well-trained and intelligent.

4人づつパーティーになって、海辺の景色を見ながらののんびりとした乗馬でした。きちんと調教された賢い馬たちでした。

I participated with my 4-year-old child. We woke up early to catch the first bus.

After about a 40-minute bus ride, we boarded the boat. On the bus, we listened to explanations, took our own snacks and motion sickness medication, and some of us even slept. Motion sickness medication is a must since the boat sways!!!

When we spotted a pod of dolphins, we jumped from the boat and swam to where the dolphins were. It was thrilling to see the dolphins come close! Since my daughter is only 4 years old, she couldn't join me in the water, but she enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat. It seemed like she had a great time.

It seems that soon she won't be able to swim with the dolphins anymore, so I recommend participating while you can.

After that, we enjoyed snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We saw many fish and sea turtles. My daughter also swam with a floatie here.

On the way back, we had fun doing hula dancing and eating hamburgers. The staff prioritized safety and took great care of everyone, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind.

On the return bus, there was a photo data sale. Since these were photos I couldn't take myself, I was glad I bought them. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much to all the staff.

4歳の子連れで参加しました。
朝一の便で、早起き頑張りました。

バスで40分位移動してから、船に乗ります。
バスの中では説明を聞き、持参した軽食や酔い止めを飲んだり、睡眠したりします。船が揺れるので酔い止め、必須です！！！

イルカの群れを見つけたら、船から飛び込みイルカの場所まで泳ぎます。イルカが近くに来たりして感動しました！
娘は4歳でしたのでここでは一緒に海に入れませんが、船の上でイルカを見てました。とても楽しめたみたいです。

もうすぐイルカと一緒に泳げなくなるみたいですので、今のうちに参加をオススメします。

その後、シュノーケルやカヤック、スタンドアップパドルをして各自楽しみます。たくさんの魚やウミガメ見れました〜
ここでは娘も一緒に浮き輪をつけて泳ぎました。

帰りにフラダンスをしたり、ハンバーガーを食べたりして楽しい時間でした^_^スタッフの方も、安全第一で皆んなをお世話して下さり、安心して参加できました。

帰りのバスでは写真のデータ販売がありました。自分では撮れない写真ばかりですので、買ってよかったです。
どれも大満足な内容のツアーです。
またハワイに行ったら参加したいです♡スタッフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

We did the campfire dinner ride. They keep it to 2 to 6 people. We were the only 2 on the ride that night so it was a wonderful private ride too. It was very pleasant not being in a line of 20 horses like other places we rode. The ride is very enjoyable. Beautiful scenery. Relaxing ride. Clean pathway. Fresh air. The campfire is at the top of a hill so it was a little breezy. We went in December so it was a little cool. Dinner was nice. Good size steak and shrimp, macaroni salad, rice, fresh fruits, smores. More than we could eat. The guide was pleasant and helped my wife the couple times her horse wanted to go another direction. She let me lead a few times while she helped my wife. We will definitely do this ride when we make it back to Oahu.

crew was competent and friendly. it was an easy boat ride to turtle canyon. crew kept close eye on snorkelers for swimmer safety and protection of turtles. I saw the crew actually pick up plastic bag debris drifting by the site (left by someone else) to prevent the turtles from ingesting it. That's my kind of tour operators!!! After snorkeling, Holokai set sail and we had a fantastic wind powered ride. it was great. I will use them again, and I will recommend them to my friends for when the come to Waikiki.

I think it's probably one of the nicer spots in the ocean around Oahu. There were quite a few corals, the sandy areas were clean, and there were plenty of turtles, so I had a decent time. The food was good, considering it's America. The staff were friendly, which was nice. The singing uncle also added to the good atmosphere.

Ultimately, it all depends on the weather. Unfortunately, it was cold, and it rained the night before, making the water murky. I would recommend visiting during a time other than winter.

おそらくオアフ島の中の海の中でではきれいな方だと思う。サンゴもまあまああったし砂地は綺麗だし亀もたくさんいてそれなりには楽しめた。食事もアメリカだと思えば美味しいほう。スタッフも親切でよかった。歌のおじさんも雰囲気が良かった。
結局全てはお天気次第。残念ながら寒かったし前夜に雨が降って海は濁っていた。せっかくなら冬以外の時期をおすすめします。

I signed up for the movie location tour and the Secret Island tour. The morning movie location tour had unfortunate weather with occasional rain, but we were able to see beautiful scenery during the sunny intervals, and the guide's explanations were interesting, so I was very satisfied. By the afternoon, the rain had stopped, and I was excited for the 3-hour sunbathing session on Secret Island, but I encountered disappointing service. First, we were taken by bus from the visitor center to the Secret Island, and when we arrived at the dock, the driver left without saying anything, leaving us and about a dozen others to wait for 30 minutes until the boat from the opposite shore returned. When the boat finally arrived and we reached Secret Island, we were told that the return boat would leave at 2:00 PM. Since it was 12:00 PM when we got off the boat, we only had 2 hours. A white customer who was on the same boat also complained to the staff after waiting for 30 minutes and having only 2 hours of free time, but they told him to speak to the guide and did not take it seriously. In the end, the guide did not take the return bus either, and we had no chance to express our dissatisfaction. What could have been a fun trip turned out to be very disappointing due to this service.

映画ロケ地ツアーとシークレットアイランドツアーを申し込みました。午前中のロケ地ツアーは、時々雨の降るあいにくの天気でしたが、晴れ間には綺麗な景色も見る事ができ、ガイドの説明も面白く、とても満足でした。午後になると雨も止み、いよいよ3時間のシークレットアイランドでの日光浴に向けて期待が高まってきたところで、残念な対応をされてしまいました。先ず、ビジターセンターからシークレットアイランド行きのバスで送ってもらい、船着場に着いたのですが、ドライバーは何も言わず行ってしまい、残された私達十数人はそこで対岸の船が戻って来るまで30分も待ちぼうけ。ようやく迎えの船が来てシークレットアイランドに着くと、14:00に帰りの船が出るとの事。船を降りた時点で12:00だったので、2時間しか有りません。同じ船に乗った白人のお客も30分待たされた挙句、2時間しか自由時間が無いと係員にクレームしていましたが、ガイドに言ってくれと言って取り合いません。結局ガイドさんも帰りのバスには乗らず、不満を伝えるチャンスも有りませんでした。せっかくの楽しい旅行が、この対応で非常に不満の残る残念なものとなってしまいました。

Amazing dancing, very good food and good drinks. Would highly recommend.

My wife wanted to go, so we included it in our itinerary. Surprisingly, I didn't feel much fear; once we were up in the air, it was a world of silent wind and scenery, and I truly felt like a bird. The time spent up there wasn't very long, but the satisfaction was high.

In the tour we participated in, the staff had a playful spirit, and there were some fun little anecdotes before and after landing (I'll keep the details to myself). Overall, it was a great experience.

家内が行きたがっており、旅程に組み込みました。
案外怖さは感じず、上空に上がると音のない風と景色だけの世界で、まさに鳥になった気分でした。時間はそう長くありませんでしたが、満足度は高いです。
私たちの参加したツアーでは、スタッフさんに茶目っ気があり、着水前後にちょっとした小ネタがありました（詳細は伏せます。）。それも含めて、楽しかったです。

While waiting, you can watch the other horses and the staff practicing on the premises, so you won't get bored. Once you choose your horse and learn some basic reins handling, you start. There are always multiple guides with you, so if you encounter any issues along the way, they will help you out. If you get paired with a horse that likes to graze, you'll have to put in some effort, but thanks to the generally well-trained horses, we had a lot of fun navigating the ups and downs of the trail.

待っている間は敷地内で他の馬たちや従業員の練習の様子なんかを見ていられるので飽きません。馬が決まって、簡単な手綱の扱い方を聞いてスタート。常に複数のガイドが一緒なので、途中で困っても対処してくれます。道草を食う相棒に当たると頑張らないとなりませんが、基本的によく訓練された馬たちのおかげで、道のアップダウンもそこそこあってワーワーキャーキャー楽しめました。
