My child wanted to touch a dolphin directly, so it was our first experience! Both the child and adults were moved, and I'm glad we went! However, since we booked the earliest time, the water in the pool was cold and it was chilly... Next time, I think I'll book around lunchtime so we can enjoy it more (laughs). After that, we watched the sea lion show, fed the birds, and enjoyed the scenery.

It has been a beautiful night, with a very normal dinner, nothing special for the price, with a beautiful show at the end. My disappointment was because I paid for a Royal seating and the seating was not good at all. I had to stand up and sit on the ground to have a beatiful view and I also didn't get the lei. But all the staff people were really very kind and I enjoyed the traditional dances and the fire knives dance.

I participated in the half-day course. The leader was also Japanese and a very friendly and interesting person, so I had a great time. For those who wanted to go snorkeling, it was an option, and I was glad I participated because I got to see a lot of fish. The sandwiches were delicious! On the way back, I didn't change and wore my clothes for the long bus ride, so it was cold. I thought it would have been better if they had provided bath towels.

From the hotel pickup to the boat, Japanese was hardly understood, but the staff spoke broken Japanese regarding safety. Not being able to communicate in Japanese is part of the fun of traveling, and it was really great. I think it was also a stimulating experience for my middle school children. My 13-year-old daughter was scared at first, but it seems she enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

My wife & I love to do ATV tours every place we go on vacation, so needless to say, Hawaii was a must. The Kualoa Ranch is an incredibly beautiful location where many movies (although mostly subpar) have been filmed, and our guide was very knowledgeable & friendly, so no complaints there.
However, compared to other similar tours we've done, this one was much slower. At the beginning, they warn that it's a 12mph tour, and that's probably an accurate average. The ATVs aren't very powerful, so you'll be lucky if you even reach 20mph going down hill.
It started pouring on our tour, and we were ready with rain jackets, but if not, the instructor will provide clear plastic ponchos. This may be miserable to some, but it actually made it more fun and genuine for us, as we got to ride through puddles & mud in the pouring jungle.
In conclusion, I understand the goal is to make this a safe experience, and that everyone varies in terms of ATV skills, but maybe there should be should be a couple of level options (maybe 1-hour tours = easy, 2-hour tours = moderate?). I would consider my wife & I as average drivers, so by no means am I asking for a daredevil & speedy experience, but a little more pace would have gone a long way. Otherwise, this tour is a no-brainer experience, as it's one of the most beautiful places we've been.

The event that was supposed to be fun turned out differently... The kids got seasick. One dropped out before boarding. Just when we were about to snorkel in the sea, another one got seasick and dropped out. We participated as a group of four, but none of us could get into the water... We only saw dolphins from a distance... However, it seems that a large pod of dolphins came that day, and the other participants were happy. It seemed to be a bit tough for the kids who are not used to traveling.

I was woken up early in the morning by a wake-up call, and my kids were grumpy as we bounced around on the bus for about an hour. We arrived on the West Coast and set sail with a high-energy instructor and a group of nice guys. To our surprise, we encountered a pod of dolphins just three minutes in, and we were instructed to jump in!
I thought the dolphins would be easy to spot in the clear water since they are large, but visibility was limited, and you couldn't tell they were nearby. Following the instruction to look down, I continued swimming and, sure enough, there was a pod of dolphins right below us! We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins for about ten minutes, wondering if it was really this easy to see them.
Next, we moved to the sea turtle point. There were so many fish that if you fed them, they would swarm around you. Those who wanted to have fun enjoyed marine sports while swimming and spotted sea turtles. It was moving to see them swimming leisurely, seemingly oblivious to the humans around.
I wanted my 5-year-old and 3-year-old to try swimming with the sea turtles, but since it was their first time swimming in the ocean, snorkeling was too much for them, and they quickly got back on the boat. Even from the boat, we could see dolphins swimming right below us and turtles occasionally popping their heads above the surface, making the boat ride itself a great memory. I hope they can practice swimming and try again.
A beautiful photographer was also on board, and she captured stunning photos for us (for an additional fee). Overall, I was very satisfied! However, since we are dealing with nature, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but this tour has a high probability of encounters.

I participated in parasailing at 90 meters with my daughter and husband. I was a bit scared and hesitated until the end, but my daughter strongly wanted to do it, and since it was our special trip to Hawaii, I decided to join.
As soon as we set sail on the boat, we put on life jackets and equipment, and before I knew it, we were up in the air since we were the first ones to go. It was exhilarating, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was amazing.
At the end, we had the usual splashdown. We barely skimmed the surface of the water, but the technique of calculating the wind and boat speed to get just a little wet was impressive, just as I had heard about their years of accident-free operation.
By the way, I kept my contact lenses in, and it was no problem at all. Also, our driver Yano was incredibly funny. We had a great time with his jokes (in English) on the shuttle bus. Thank you, Yano, for the fun memories! If you get Yano as your driver, consider yourself lucky.
Next time, I definitely want to challenge the 150 meters. I would love to use this tour again then.
娘と夫婦3人でパラセイリングの90mに参加しました。少し怖かったので最後まで迷っていましたが娘の強い希望とせっかくのハワイ旅行なので参加しました。
ボートで出航するとすぐにライフジャケットと器具を装着し、いきなりトップバッターだったので、ドキドキする間もなく気が付いたら海の上でした。

最後はお決まりの尻ポチャ。
海面スレスレで水しぶきを上げる程度ですが、風やボートの速度とかを計算して、少し濡れる程度にする技術は、さすがに長年無事故と聞いていた通りのものでした。

I had some anxiety about driving a rental car, so I joined this tour. On the day of the tour, there were 11 participants. I was a bit concerned about the old shuttle van and the unusable seat belts, but the explanations from our experienced Japanese guide were knowledgeable and diverse, making the journey feel like an enriching study session. The stop at the Dole Plantation, where we saw the "This is a tree" tree, was only about 20 minutes, so I recommend a different schedule for those who want to stay longer, but we didn't feel it was particularly short.
As we headed north along the North Shore, the guide explained the coastal scenery, and we split into two groups for free time in Haleiwa and horseback riding (the horseback riding group also had about 50 minutes of free time). We were taken to Macky's for garlic shrimp and were shown the main shops, making the short time quite fulfilling.
I was very anxious as a beginner with little explanation or guidance during the beach horseback riding, but there were seven of us in a line and another instructor accompanying us, who helped calm the horses and taught us how to hold the reins, allowing me to enjoy the ride. The beautiful scenery along the beach was breathtaking! It was about a 45-minute ride, but it was an unforgettable experience.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles on the sandy beach, but our persistent guide took us to a spot where we could see swimming turtles, using what seemed to be a local information network. I am grateful for that.
We returned to Honolulu before 4 PM, so we were able to go out afterward and had a meaningful day. It may indeed be a busy schedule, but I think this tour is packed with the joys of the North Shore and is enjoyable for everyone. I sincerely thank our guide, Syozou.
レンタカーの運転に不安があり、このツアーに参加しました。
当日ツアーに参加したのは11名、送迎のバンが古くてシートベルトが使えないなどは気になりましたが、ベテランの日本人ガイドさんの解説が博識で多岐にわたり、道中まるで勉強会のように充実していました。「この木なんの木」とドールプランテーションはほんの20分くらいの立ち寄りなので、長居したい方は違うスケジュールのプランをお勧めしますが、我々は特に短いとも感じませんでした。
ノースショアも海岸沿いを説明しながら北上し、ハレイワで自由行動と乗馬の二手に分かれ、(乗馬組も50分位自由時間あり)わざわざガーリックシュリンプのMackysさんに連れて行ってもらったり、主要なお店を教えてもらったりしたので短時間でもかなり充実していました。
海辺の乗馬、説明や注意が少なくて初心者の私はとても不安でしたが、7人の隊列の前後ともう一人付添いのインストラクターがいて、道草する馬をなだめたり引き綱をおしえてもらったりで楽しく乗馬できました。ゆっくりと歩く海辺の景色の美しいこと!45分位の乗馬でしたが忘れられない経験でした。
残念ながら砂浜でカメを見ることはできず、諦めないガイドさんが地元の情報網を駆使していそうな浜辺に立ち寄ってくれて泳いでいるカメを見ることができました。感謝。
ホノルルには午後4時前に戻ってきたのでその後も出かけることができ、一日を有意義に過ごすことができました。確かに忙しいスケジュールかも知れませんが、ノースショアの楽しみが凝縮された、だれでも十分に楽しめる充実のツアーだと思います。ガイドのsyozouさん?に心から感謝します。

I participated in this tour about seven years ago, and I decided to join again this time. The program content and the pool have changed due to renovations since my last visit. The value felt much better back then.
The program lasted about 30 minutes, during which we listened to the staff's instructions and explanations. We mainly interacted with the dolphins by extending both hands forward to have the dolphin rest its chin on them for a smile photo towards the camera. Another pose was a handshake with both hands. Unfortunately, that's all there was for interaction.
Since the counterpart is an animal, the pricing might be higher, but previously, activities that included swimming with the dolphins were offered at a lower price. So, I can't help but feel disappointed. Since my children are no longer toddlers, I don't think we'll participate in this tour again in the future. However, it might be a suitable program for small children or elderly individuals. If you're bringing children in upper elementary school, I think including programs where they can swim together would enhance their satisfaction.
By the way, after the nearly 30-minute photo session, you can purchase photos for about $18 each (though I'm not entirely sure, that's what I remember), around $30 for two, and a little over $40 for three. Previously, you would buy printed photos, but now it's available as data on a CD. This aspect has improved.
7年ほど前に1度参加させていただいたことがあるツアーでしたが、今回2回目の参加を決めました。
以前とはプログラムの内容やプールが改修等により変わっていました。
お得感は断然昔の方がありました。
30分ほどのプログラムになりましたが、スタッフの方から注意事項や説明を聞き、主にイルカと触れ合えるのは両手を前に出して、そこのイルカの顎を乗せてもらいカメラに向かってスマイル写真を撮影。もう1パターンは両手で握手のポーズで撮影。
触れ合いと言ったら残念ながらこれだけです。
相手は動物。とゆうことで料金設定も高めなのかもしれないですが、以前は一緒に泳げるアクティビティがこの料金以下のプライスで含まれていたので、やはり残念感は否めません。
子供たちも幼児ではなくなったこともあって、次回以降のこのツアーの参加は・・・ないかなぁと。
ただ、小さいお子さんやご年配の方にはちょうどいいプログラムなのかもしれません。小学校高学年以上のお子さんをお連れなら、一緒に泳げるなどのプログラムが含まれていた方が満足感は得られるような気がします。
ちなみに30分弱の写真撮影のプログラムを終えたあとは、1枚18ドル(確かではないですがそう記憶しています)2枚で30ドルちょっと、3枚で40ドルちょっとの写真を購入することも可能です。
以前は現像した写真を購入する形でしたが、今はCDRのデータで購入になっています。
この点は良くなったところかな。

In a word, it was amazing! The area near the sandbar is a wonderful place that has been used for Hollywood movie shoots. The water is crystal clear and truly beautiful, and being able to anchor a boat there to go snorkeling, play volleyball, and watch sea turtles... such a precious experience is hard to come by. The hamburger lunch we had on the boat was also exceptional. The tour guides were all cheerful and friendly, making it a tour I would definitely want to join again. Even if you feel the tour is a bit pricey, it is absolutely worth the money. If you're unsure, I highly recommend it.
By the way, we were picked up around 9 AM at the Sheraton bus stop and rode the bus for about an hour (for some reason, we had to wait for a long time right after we started). After that, we headed for about 10 minutes by boat to reach the stunning sandbar. After enjoying some light snorkeling practice and volleyball at the sandbar, we moved to the next area (where we will watch sea turtles, and you can encounter so many of them!). We spent about an hour snorkeling over the coral reef (some areas are quite deep!). We dove from the boat and had fun playing with the tour guides as well. This snorkeling experience was a huge hit with my daughter and mother who joined me, and it became an unforgettable and precious experience. I now have more activities I want to participate in when I go to Hawaii!
一言で表すと最高!でした。
サンドバー付近はハリウッド映画のロケにも使用された素晴らしいエリアで、
海が透き通っていて本当に綺麗で、そんな場所に船を停めてシュノーケリングしたり、バレーしたりウミガメウォッチをしたり・・・あんな貴重な体験はなかなかできません。
船上で食べたハンバーガーランチもまた格別でした。

このツアーは少々高いと感じてもお金を払う価値は十分あります。
迷われているのならぜひともおすすめしたいです。
ちなみに、私たちは朝9時頃にシェラトンのバス停でピックアップしてもらい、バスで小一時間ほど揺られ(何故か出発してすぐの場所で長らく待機させられましたが・・・)そこから船で10分ほど向かった先に絶景のサンドバーが現れました。
サンドバーで軽くシュノーケリングの練習やバレーなどを楽しんだあと次のエリアに移動して(そこでウミガメウォッチをしますが、本当にたくさんのウミガメに出会えます!)
サンゴ礁の上を(深さのあるところはかなり深い)1時間ほどシュノーケリングして過ごします!
船からダイブしたりと、添乗員の方とも一緒になって遊んだり楽しみますww
このシュノーケリングが一緒に参加した娘や母にも大好評で忘れられない貴重な体験になったようです。
ハワイに行ったら必ず参加させてもらいたいアクティビティが増えました!!

Nice experience, but really too short. Probably because we were too many on the boat, with too little time for the turn. We stayed in the air for only 5 minutes. But anyway it was exciting and they are very professional. And they take beautiful pictures, in case someone would like to buy (I did).

Thank you very much for posting these photos and the link to the video! It is great that you were able to see a Hawaiian Honu (Green Sea Turtle) and the video is fantastic.
