The weather was terrible on the day we went, and it rained several times along the way. During the snorkeling, there was a heavy downpour like a tropical storm, but the staff kept the atmosphere lively with bright voices and topics.

The rain was so intense that more than half of the people returned to the boat, but even then, they kindly prepared warm cocoa and coffee for us. The Japanese staff member took a lot of photos, and I thought it would have been perfect if the weather had been just a little better.

I was told that as long as I disposed of my trash, I could smoke on the sandbar, so I think smokers should definitely bring their cigarettes and lighters without hesitation. If you're not taking photos underwater, a regular digital camera or phone would be just fine.

The BBQ burger was delicious. You won't get one unless you remember the staff's name! The amount of tomatoes is one slice per person, so if someone takes two, there won't be enough. The staff was watching and laughing, saying, "One slice only!!"

行った日は天候が酷く、途中に何度も雨が降っていました。シュノーケルのタイミングでスコールのような大荒れの天気になったのですが、明るい声や話題で絶えず盛り上げて下さいました。
あまりにも激しい雨だったので、半分以上の人が船に戻ったのですが、そのときもすぐに温かいココアやコーヒーを用意して下さったりと、本当に親切でした。
日本人スタッフのお姉さんは写真をたくさん撮ってくれたし、天気があと少しでも良かったら最高だったなあと思いました。
自分でゴミさえ処理すれば、サンドバーでタバコも吸っていいよ、と言われたので、喫煙者の方は遠慮せずタバコとライターを持っていくべきだと思います笑
海の中を取らないのであれば、普通のデジカメや携帯でも問題ないくらいです。
BBQバーガーも美味しいです。スタッフさんの名前を忘れているともらえません。笑
トマトの量が1人1枚なので、ひとりで2枚取るような人がいると足りなくなります。スタッフさんが「1枚マデー！！」と笑いながら監視してました。笑

They advertise two drinks but you get more then that. It was a very good trip. Well run.

We booked the North Shore Keana Farms Zipline Adventure (7 lines) / Standard (with transportation) for four people at my daughter's request. On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived an hour late at the pickup location. (I could communicate in English a bit, so I was able to call multiple times to ask about the delay, but regular Japanese tourists would have been left feeling anxious with no way to get information.) After that, the vehicle we departed in had a flat tire on the coastal road, which almost led to a serious accident! We had to deal with another vehicle in a panic! Although we were initially told we would return by 2:00 PM, we were alarmed to hear it might be around 5:00 PM, which caused us to rush to cancel our dinner reservation. In the end, we returned around 3:00 PM. While the activity itself was somewhat satisfying, I believe the level of pickup service and ensuring the safety of travelers was extremely low. We would not recommend this tour to others.

ノースショア・ケアナファーム　ジップライン・アドベンチャー（7本） / スタンダード（送迎付きプラン）に娘の希望で4人申し込みました。当日送迎バスが一時間遅れでピックアップ場所に到着。（多少の英会話ができるのでTELで何度も遅れについて聞けましたが一般の日本人旅行者では何もできず不安だけが募る状態でした）その後出発した車は前輪がパンク海岸沿いの道だったので間一髪大事故になるところでした！！代わりの車をまたまた末事態に！！14：00帰着予定も初めに17：00頃と脅かされ予約の夕食のキャンセルなど大慌て結局15：00頃帰着しました。アクティビティそのものはそれなりに満足したようですがピックアップや旅行者の安全確保にきわめて低レベルであると思います。私たちはこのツアーを他の人に勧める事は無いでしょう。

Dinner was a buffet, and it was great to have control over the portions. The roast beef that was served was delicious. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any trouble communicating.

Indeed, I didn't notice any swaying, and I had finished eating before we set sail. After eating on the first floor, everyone was free to go up to the bar on the second floor or the third floor, and I appreciated that freedom. While on the third floor, I could hear the live music from the second floor, but I couldn't tell when the hula dance show was happening. I was very satisfied as I enjoyed the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, yachts, and the sunset, but it might not be suitable for those who want to see more shows or party. I saw many people dancing on a large cruise ship passing by as it entered the harbor, so if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy your meal and the scenery, I think this cruise is a good option.

夕食はビュッフェで、量がコントロールできて良かったです。切り分けていただいたローストビーフはおいしかったです。
日本語スタッフもいましたので、困るようなことはありませんでした。
確かに揺れも気にならないし、ほとんど出港前に食べ終わっていました。１階で食べたら、各々自由に２階のバーや３階に上がっていて、その自由さが良かったです。３階にいると、２階の生演奏の歌は聞こえるけど、フラダンスのショーがいつやっていたのかは分かりませんでした。私はワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ヨット、夕日など景色を満喫できたので大満足でしたが、ショーをもっと見たり騒ぎたい人には向かないかもしれません。近くを走行する大きなクルーズ船では、港に入るときに大勢が踊っているのが見えましたので、そういう雰囲気が苦手で食事と景色を楽しむなら、こちらのクルーズはお手頃だと思います。

The sandbar is beautiful, just as it looks in the photos. Also, the hamburgers eaten on the boat are incredibly delicious.

サンドバーは、写真で見たとおりに、綺麗です。また、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも、最高に美味しいですよ。

I participated with a friend.
The zip line itself is absolutely amazing!
Maybe the sun was stronger than we expected, but when we got back, both my friend and I had terrible sunburns on our arms... (laughs)

We slid down a total of seven lines, and the views, distances, and heights were all different, making it a truly fun and fantastic aerial walk!
Taking that first step is incredibly scary.
But once you calm down, you realize you're securely strapped to the wire... I felt that way from the second line onward. ^ ^

However, the pickup time was just so delayed!
It was scheduled for 7:45, but after 30 minutes, they still hadn't arrived. I called and was told to wait, so I was worried while waiting, and they finally showed up an hour later (at 8:45).
Apparently, there was a traffic jam... It was really stressful not having a way to contact them on-site.
Also, on the way there, we had to wait for another car due to vehicle trouble... we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. (laughs)
When we arrived, there wasn't much said, and we just checked in quickly...

But despite all that frustration, it was so great that I forgot about it!
All the instructors were very kind as well. ^ ^

友人と2人で参加してきました。
ジップライン自体はものすごく最高です！
思っている以上に日差しが強かったのか、帰ったら友人と腕周りが日焼けで大変なことになってました…（笑）

計7本を滑りましたが、見る景色や距離、高さなど色々あり本当に楽しい、最高の空中散歩です！
初めの1歩目を踏み出すのはものすっごく怖いです。
ただ冷静になれば、しっかりワイヤーに体括られてるしな…2本目からは思えました。^ ^

ただ。
ピックアップの時間が、とにかく！遅れてました。
7:45予定でしたが、30分経っても来ず、電話を掛けて、待っててくれとの事だったので、心配しながら待ってると1時間後(8:45)に来ました。
どうやら渋滞で混んでいたらしいですが…現地で連絡の手段がないと物凄く焦りました。
後は、向かっている途中で車のトラブルで別の車を待つことに…これまだ30分くらい待ちぼうけでした。（笑）
着いて何か言われる訳でもなく、速攻チェックインして…って感じでした。

ただ、そんなモヤモヤも忘れさせてくれるくらい最高です！
インストラクターの方々もみなさん、優しい方です^ ^

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I participated in this activity because I could experience horseback riding. While enjoying the North Shore, including the Dole Plantation and the town of Haleiwa, I took a 45-minute horseback ride along the coast. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were adorable, and I was able to enjoy nature.

8/1…何度か来てるハワイでしたが、乗馬が体験できるので、こちらのアクティビティに参加しました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワの街など、ノースショアを満喫しながら、海岸を乗馬で45分間散策しました。
景色は綺麗だし、馬は可愛いし、自然の中で楽しむことができました。

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!

Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.

The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.

Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.

Since it was our family's first time parasailing, we decided on the 90M option based on these reviews. The pickup car arrived right on time, and the driver was so cheerful! Even though we could only have a little conversation, he kept talking to keep the mood lively.

As for the parasailing itself, the crew was a cheerful duo who spoke mostly English. There were only two families, including ours, so there was no seasickness as mentioned in the reviews (though it might have been because we took motion sickness medication...). My middle school daughter was really scared and was unsure until the last moment, but afterward, she said it was great and felt wonderful! There was hardly any fear at all. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were truly beautiful and breathtaking. We even got to see sea turtles!

If we have the chance to go again, we would definitely participate.

家族全員初パラセーリングなので、こちらの口コミを参考にしながら90Mにしました。
迎えの車も時間ぴったりに来て下さり、運転手の方の陽気なこと！
会話も少ししかできないのに、盛り上げようとずーっと話をしてくれていました。
本題のパラセーリングですが、乗務員はほぼ英語のやはりこちらも陽気な2人組でした。私たち家族の他は３人家族の計2組でしたので、口コミにあるような船酔いもありませんでした(もしかしたら酔い止めを飲んだのでその効果かもしれませんが…)中学生の娘が本当に怖がっていて、直前までどうしようか迷っていましたが、終わったあとはやって良かった！気持ち良かった！と大絶賛でした。ほぼ恐怖感は無いです。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの全景が本当にきれいで感動ものです。そして海ガメも見ることができました！
また行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです。

I was worried about seasickness, but according to the captain, it was a calm sea, which happens only about 30 days a year—lucky us! He mentioned that usually, someone ends up throwing up (laughs).

Although the explanation was only in English, the most important rule was: do not stick your hands and feet outside the cage! Fortunately, there were no shark attacks. We took our time and got to enjoy a lifetime's worth of sharks up close!

船酔いを心配しましたが、船長さん曰く年に30日あるかどうかの穏やかな海、ラッキーだね、とのこと。いつもは一人は吐く人がいるそうです （笑）
英語のみの説明ですが、重要なのは1つ。ケージの外に手足を出さない！でした。サメにアタックされることはなかったです。結構じっくり時間を取ってくれて、一生分のサメを近距離で堪能しました！

The parasailing experience itself was very satisfying. However, there was a large sign on the boat in Japanese that said "Please tip," and we were asked for tips twice during the return trip. It was disappointing because we were told that tips were included in the tour price.

パラセイリング自体は、大変満足でした。
ただ、船に日本語で大きく「チップをお願いします」と書かれており、帰りの船内でも二度に渡りチップをお願いされました。チップはツアー料金に含まれているとされていましたので、残念でした。

The 2-hour horseback riding experience was extremely satisfying. The horses were well-trained and seemed to remember the course, so I could ride comfortably without needing excessive control. Along the way, I could see the ocean and filming locations, which offered stunning views!

2時間の乗馬体験はとっても大満足でした。馬達は良く調教されていて、コースを覚えているようで、必要以上のコントロールは必要なく安心して乗ることができました。途中で海が見えたり映画の撮影場所が見れたり、絶景でした！

Unfortunately, it was cloudy and windy, and it was cold without a rash guard... The scenery is nice, though. However, it seems that the view during high tide, like in the photos, can only be seen a few times a year, and it appears that this is not the right time.

残念ながら、曇っていて風もあり、ラッシュガードが無いと寒くて…景色は良いです。ただし、写真で見るような満ち潮の時のような景色は、一年に数回しか見れないようで、今回はその時期では無いようでした。

I sent my husband and two oldest sons 13 & 16 parasailling for the first time. They said it was one of the best experiences they've ever done and would go again. Just wish I could've gotten a picture or video of it.

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

I got fully fascinated by this Keana Farms Zipline adventure program. I become one of serious fans of Keana Farm Zipline. It was very exciting experience and the best activity that my famaily got during this summer vacation in Hawaii. Thx for every rangers (especially Ms.Princess). Hope we will be there soon again.

Thank you for a very memorable day in a beautiful location. It was so easy as we were picked up at our hotel and dropped home. Very reasonable price and stunning surroundings.

This tour focuses on horseback riding, but you can also stop by the Dole Plantation (for about an hour) and do some sea turtle watching (for about 10 minutes) along the way. However, since these are just side stops, you might not want to expect too much from them. The main horseback riding experience was great for beginners, as they teach you from scratch. The terrain was surprising, as I didn't know there were such forested areas in Hawaii. However, the driver, who was with us the longest, could speak Japanese but didn't talk much, so the hospitality was a bit lacking... Everyone seemed to be sleeping during the ride.

*Note: The horseback riding can get quite muddy, so make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.*

乗馬をメインとしたツアーですが移動途中にDoleプランテーション（滞在1時間）やウミガメ（滞在10分）ウォッチングなどもできます。でも飽くまでついでに寄るくらいなのであまり期待しない方がいいかも。メインの乗馬は一から教えてくれるので初心者向けで面白かったです。地形もハワイにこんなところがあったのかと思うような森の中を進みます。ただ一番長い間一緒にいるドライバーのお兄さんが日本語は話せるけどあまりしゃべらない人でホスピタリティについてはビミョー。。みんな移動中は寝てましたね。

※乗馬では足元が結構ドロドロなので汚れても良い格好で行きましょう。

My first parasailing experience. I challenged myself to 90 meters. At first, I was worried about whether I would be okay at such a height, but once I actually did it, I felt no fear at all; instead, it was exhilarating. It truly felt like I was flying like a bird.

Along the way, there was a bonus where I intentionally dropped into the sea (from a low position) once.

Although it was a short time of about five minutes, it was wonderful.

The staff seemed to speak a little bit of Japanese.

初めてのパラセイリング。９０Mにチャレンジしてみました。　初めは高くても大丈夫かなという心配がありましたが、実際やってみると、少しも怖くなく、かえって、爽快でした。本当に鳥になって飛んでいるようでした。

途中、一回、わざと、海の中に落ちる(低い位置から)というおまけ(❓)もついています。

5分ほどの短い時間ではありましたが、素晴らしかったです。

スタッフに人は片言の日本語が話せるようです。

Taking my three-year-old daughter to Hawaii. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time with a child, so I was unsure where to take her and chose this option.

In the end, it was the right choice. We drove along the coast from Waikiki in a rental car, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and headed to Sea Life Park. After having fun at Sea Life Park, we went to Kailua for some shopping.

It was a day that both my child and wife enjoyed.

Just one thing, the hot dog at Sea Life Park wasn't that great, haha.

三歳児の娘を連れてのハワイ。
自分はもう何十回もハワイにきているが、子連れは初ということで、どこに連れて行くのがいいのか迷ってこちらを選択。

結果、正解でした。
レンタカーでワイキキから海沿いをドライブして綺麗な景色を楽しみつつ、シーライフパークを目指し、シーライフパークで遊んだあとはカイルアまで行ってお買い物。

子供、妻共々楽しんでくれた一日コースでした。

ただ一点、シーライフパークに唯一あるホットドックはたいして美味しくなかったかな笑

I was able to see dolphins from the boat multiple times, but it was difficult to see them swimming underwater. However, on my third try, I finally got to meet a dolphin I had been hoping to see. They swam beneath us and, although at a distance, they performed spinning jumps, and I even got to see a baby dolphin. It was amazing. I want to participate again.

船の上からイルカを何度も見ることはできていましたが、水中で泳いでいる姿を見ることはなかなかできませんでしたが、3回目のトライで念願のイルカに逢えました。
自分たちが泳いでいる下を通り過ぎたり、中距離でしたが、回転ジャンプしたり、赤ちゃんイルカに逢えました。
最高でした。また参加したいです。

Riding on the back of a slowly walking horse while gazing at the beautiful sea was truly enjoyable. It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to get on easily without feeling scared. I think the horse was quite old, so I felt grateful for the ride and hoped it would do its best to walk, but I was just so happy to have my first horseback riding experience. My husband said that a shorter time would have been fine, but I wanted to go riding for the same amount of time every day. As for clothing, I thought that as long as I wore sturdy footwear (like sneakers), it would be fine, just like when sightseeing.

ゆっくりと歩く馬の背中に乗り、とってもキレイな海を眺めながらの時間は本当に楽しかったです。馬に乗るのは初めてだったのですが、怖い思いもせず、簡単に馬の背中に乗れました。たぶん、かなり高齢の馬だと思ので、乗せてくれてありがとうございます、頑張って歩いてくださいねって感じもありましたが、私は初乗馬が嬉しいばかりでした。主人は、もっと短い時間でも良いと言いましたが、私は同じ時間ぐらいを毎日でも乗りに行きたかったです。服装は足元さえしっかりしたもの(スニーカー等)を履いていれば、他の観光するときと同じで大丈夫だなと思いました。

While we had fun, there were a few issues that made this an average excursion:
- they did not provide goggles as indicated. They are definitely needed. Even with my sunglasses on, the amount of dirt that got in my eyes made it difficult to see. It was painful.
- we stopped at 1 movie site.
- an hour is not enough time.
- you get pretty dirty. Don't wear a light color. I'm still trying to get dirt stains out of my shirt.

Maybe there's limits because of the size of the multi passenger vehicle. Based on the description on the site, we expected more. The people on the single rider ATVs looked like they had a lot of fun.

We would go again after my daughter is old enough for the single rider ATVs

I was curious about what it would be like, so I participated. When we spotted the dolphins from the boat, everyone dove into the sea one by one at the signal and chased after them. However, I didn't have enough stamina and couldn't use my fins effectively, so I couldn't get very close. But next time, I want to build up my stamina and participate again.

どんな感じに見えるのか疑問に思い参加しましたが船の上から発見すると合図と共にみんなが順番に海へダイブ、イルカを追いかけました。しかし体力が無い私は足のフィンを上手く使えずにあまり近くへ寄ることが出来ませんでした。
でも今度は体力を付けて参加させて頂きたいと思います。

During our stay in Hawaii, we booked this tour at my daughter's request. We found a zipline-only tour with pickup from Waikiki at Keana Farms. It seems there is also a reservation booth on the 1st floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki, but since I usually book with VELTRA, I felt secure making the reservation.

Perhaps it's still not well-known among Japanese travelers? The shuttle bus and at the site, we only encountered people from Europe, America, and Australia, and did not meet any Japanese guests. By the way, check-in and explanations are all in English, but the staff are very friendly, so even basic English is sufficient (laughs).

The travel time from Waikiki is about 1.3 hours one way, with a waiting time on-site (including gear preparation) of about 30 minutes, and the zipline experience with seven lines (the longest being about 1200 meters?) takes around three hours. The movement between ziplines is on foot, but there are enough features to enjoy. There are also two or three water stations, so all belongings, including water, can be stored for free at the counter before departure.

For clothing, a T-shirt and pants that can get dirty, along with athletic shoes or sneakers, are necessary. My daughter bought inexpensive items at H&M in Waikiki to prepare (sweat). Also, if you want to take photos with a camera or iPhone, a neck strap is needed.

The thrill of sliding down towards the ocean is amazing, and the scenery is something you absolutely cannot experience in Japan! I highly recommend it.

ハワイ滞在中に、娘のリクエストでこのツアーを申し込みました。
ワイキキから送迎付きでジップラインだけのツアーを探しケアナファームを見つけました。ワイキキのロイヤル・ハワイアン・センター１Ｆにも予約ブース？があるようですが、いつもお願いしているＶＥＬＴＲＡさんも取り扱っていたので安心して予約できました。
まだ、日本の方々には知られていないのか？送迎バス、現地においても欧米豪の方ばかりで日本人の方とお会いすることはありませんでしたね。ちなみにチェックインや説明などは全て英語ですが、スタッフが非常に親切なのでカタコト程度の英語でも大丈夫でした（笑）
ワイキキからの移動片道：約1.3時間、現地待ち時間（装具の準備を含め）：約30分、ジップライン７本（最長1200ｍ？）：約３時間、バギーでの移動は最初のみで10分程度でした。
ジップライン間の移動は徒歩ですが、それなりに仕掛けがあって楽しめます。また、給水ポイントが２、3か所ありましたので、水を含めた荷物は全て出発前に無料でカウンターが預かってくれます。服装は汚れても良いＴシャツ・ズボンに運動靴かスニーカーが必要です。娘はワイキキのＨ＆Ｍで安価なものを購入し準備してました（汗）。あと、カメラやiPhoneで撮影するなら首からのストラップが必要ですね。
海に向けて滑り下りる爽快感は最高です、また日本では絶対体験できない景観も素晴らしいですよ！！おすすめします。

Both hikes were fantastic! My grandson enjoys hiking and loved both experiences. He especially enjoyed the Manoa Falls Trail hike. The sky was overcast and we got rained on several times, but that just added to the experience! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!

I participated during the summer vacation. The location was close to the hotel, and it was good that the bus ride was shorter compared to other ocean activities.

We took a boat to the parasailing point, but I got a bit seasick on the boat, so I think motion sickness medication is necessary.

When parasailing, I was nervous at first, but if you're okay with heights, there’s nothing particularly scary, and I had the opportunity to take photos from above.

It felt great to go up quite high.

As long as you can handle seasickness, I think it's a very satisfying tour.

夏休みに参加させてもらいました。
開催場所はホテルからも近く、
ほかの海のアクティビティよりかは
バスに乗る時間が少なかったのでよかったです。

船でパラセーリングをするポイントまで
いくのですが、その船で少し酔ってしまったので、
酔い止めは必要だと思います。

パラセーリングする時、最初は
緊張しましたが、高いとこが大丈夫なら
特に怖いところもなく上から写真を撮ったり
余裕はありました。

かなり高く上がるので気持ちよかったです。

船酔いさえ大丈夫なら
大満足のツアーだと思います。

We set out to the ocean on a boat. From this moment, my spirits really lifted! The weather was great, and the view from above was breathtaking! It's a bit pricey at $30, but they also take photos for you. This is definitely something you should do when you come to Hawaii! Just keep in mind that the tips can be a bit high, haha. I give it four stars.

ボートに乗っていざ沖へでます。この時から気分がかなり上がります‼︎天気も良く、上空からの眺めは圧巻‼︎30ドルとちょっと高いですが、写真も撮ってもらえます。ハワイに来たら是非やるべき‼︎ただ、ちょっとチップが高いので笑 星４つです。
