We had a large group, and this was easiest way for us to not have to figure out reservation. Just perfect time for hiking as well!

Great way to start the year, we wish we were back in Hawaii listening to the wonderful local music!

viewing was a bit foggy on the day we were there, but overall good time

really wonderful and personal tour, the horses are well cared for and loved!

As we soared higher and higher, the view of Waikiki's streets and beaches from the sky was incredibly beautiful. We took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory.

ぐんぐん高くあがって、空から見るワイキキの街並みやビーチはとてもきれいでした
写真もたくさん撮ってくれてて、良い思い出になりました

It was the best experience. I thought two hours of horseback riding would be long, but once I actually experienced it, it flew by. I was able to feel the great nature of the sea and mountains, and passing by horses and cows was something I could only experience here.

最高の体験ができました。2時間も乗馬長いなと思ってましたが、実際体験してみるとあっという間でした。大自然の海と山を感じることができ、馬や牛の横を通ったりとここでしか味わえないです。

Since it was early in the morning, the pickup time was 5:45 AM. We arrived at a nearby cape before dawn and waited for a while, reaching the entrance just after 7 AM. After entering at 8 AM with standard equipment (snorkel, fins) along with optional life jackets, umbrellas, and chairs, there was a presentation, and we finally made it to the beach by 8:30 AM, ready to swim. Overall, the time spent carrying our belongings was long and tiring. We did see some fish in the sea, but the scenery wasn't as impressive as we had hoped. I also thought the entrance fee of $25 per person was high.

朝一だったのでピックアップの時間は5時45分、夜明け前に近くの岬に到着してしばらく待機し、入口についたのが7時過ぎ。入口から標準装備（シュノーケル、フィン）の他にオプションの救命具、パラソル、椅子をもって8時に入場開始が始まり、説明の上映もあって、8時半にやっと浜辺に着き泳げる体制になりました。とにかく荷物を運んでいる時間も長くくたびれました。海は魚も見れましたが、期待しているほどの景観ではなかったです。また入場料も25ドル/人は高いと思いました。

With just my body, I soared into the blue sky! This is something only paragliding can offer. At a height where the boat looks tiny above the vast blue sea and beneath the blue sky, I felt like all the various efforts and struggles I've had in my 50 years of life were somehow rewarded. It was an experience that made me think I want to keep doing my best in the future and gave me a lot of energy. Being able to do something like this is only possible because I am healthy and full of vitality.

身体ひとつで青空へ‼️こんな事はパラセーリングしか出来ません。一面の青い海の上、青い空の下、ボートがとても小さく見えるくらいの高度。50年生きて来たいろんな事、頑張った事、なんだか報われた気がしました。これからの人生もまた頑張ろうと思えたり、凄く元気をもらえた体験でした。こんな事ができるのも、健康で元気あってこそ。

My first horseback riding experience. Riding non-stop for two hours on a rough path was tough on my body. My knees especially became shaky. At one point, I wanted to get off the horse and take pictures at a movie filming location. However, I’m glad I got to try horseback riding at least once.

初めての乗馬体験。
それがいきなり足場の悪い道を２時間乗りっぱなしは、体にこたえました。
特に膝がガクガクになりました。
途中、映画のロケ地で馬から降りて写真を撮りたかったですね。
ただ、一度は乗馬をしてみたかったので、できて良かったです。

It was my first experience. I couldn't stop feeling excited and nervous. It was very thrilling. However, be careful as there is a lot of dust.

初めての体験。
ワクワクドキドキが止まりません。
とてもスリリングでした。
ただ，すごく砂煙りを被るので、ご注意を。

The experience of flying in a small aircraft was different from that of a passenger plane in terms of the view and the sense of immersion, offering a unique enjoyment and a truly valuable experience. The staff were very kind and friendly. There were also many Japanese staff members and staff who were fluent in Japanese, so I think those who are not confident in their English can enjoy it with peace of mind. I would definitely like to use this service again when flying over Hawaii. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience.

　小型飛行機で飛行体験は、旅客機と景色の見え方や臨場感が違い、また別の楽しさがあり、とても貴重な体験でした。
　スタッフの皆様は、とても親切で友好的でした。また日本人スタッフや日本語が堪能なスタッフも多く、英語が苦手な方でも安心して楽しめると思います。
　またハワイの空を飛ぶ時は是非とも利用させていただきたいです。良くしていただき本当にありがとうございました。

After the boat departed, we started with snorkeling at a specific point, and then we went out to sea for dolphin watching. The snorkeling time felt long, but for dolphin watching, it was like, "Is this it? Are we going back already?" We did see wild dolphins, but it was during their sleeping time, and it felt too short (laughs). I wonder if we were there for even 10 minutes... It was disappointing. The staff were very nice and made us feel at ease, so it's a shame.

船出発後、ポイント的にシュノーケリングが先でその後沖に出てドルフィンウォッチングしました。シュノーケリング時間は長く感じたのですが、ドルフィンウォッチングはえ、これで終わり？もう帰るの？という感じ。野生のドルフィンは見れてちょうど寝てる時間でしたが、短すぎる(笑)10分もいたかな、、、って感じです。期待はずれ。スタッフの方達はとても良い人たちで安心感もあったので残念です。

The pick-up and equipment rental were completely problem-free. The driver assisted us while translating into Japanese using an app.
Thank you, Fernando!
The water clarity was quite high and beautiful, so it was worth seeing.

送迎と装備レンタルは全く問題なしです。ドライバーがアプリで日本語翻訳しながら対応してくださいます。
Fernandoありがとう！
水の透明度はかなり高く美しかったので見る価値ありです。

There were only two groups of participants, so it was almost a private tour, but it was conducted as planned. I took motion sickness medication beforehand, but there were hardly any waves that day, so I had no issues at all. From the boat, I was able to see the spouts and tails of whales in the distance, and dolphins right next to the boat. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was a very valuable and enjoyable experience. Thank you very much, Yuji!

2組しか参加者がおらずほぼ貸切でしたが催行していただけました。
酔い止めを事前に飲んでいましたがこの日は波が殆どなく全く問題なし。
船上からは遠くにクジラの潮吹きと尻尾、船のすぐそばでイルカを見ることができました。
残念ながらシュノーケルでホヌは見れませんでしたがとても貴重で楽しい経験でした。
YUJIさんどうもありがとうございました！

The location was thrilling, and I had a great time. It was a longer course than I expected, and the scenery was amazing.

ロケーション、スリル満点、楽しい時間を過ごせました。思って
いたよりロングコースで、景色が最高の所でした。

It might be because the wind was strong, but all four of us—two adults and two children—took off at once! I'm glad it became a memorable experience! Both the 10-year-old boy and the 8-year-old girl said it was not scary at all and that they had fun! The staff entertained the kids wonderfully.

風が強いからか大人2人子供2人の4人で一斉に飛びました！記念になって良かったです！10歳男子も8歳女子も全然怖くない、楽しいと言っていました！スタッフの方が子供達を楽しませてくれました。

At first, my relationship with the somewhat awkward horse was a bit stiff, but after riding for two hours, we started to connect. Although it was sunny in Honolulu, it began to rain when we arrived, which was a bit different from the scenery I had envisioned, but walking with the horse provided the best views. There were only a few movie filming locations, but I think it was much more enjoyable than driving around. I want to come back and try again on a sunny day!

初めはぎこちないお馬さんとの関係も、乗ってるうちに気持ちが通い合うような２時間でした。
ホノルルは晴れてたのに着くと雨が振り始め、夢に描いていた景色とは少し違ってたけれど、お馬さんとの散歩は最高の景色でした。
映画のロケ地は少しでしたが、車に乗って周るよりずっと楽しいと思います。
またいつか晴れた日にリベンジしたい！

The tour is not good at all and I did not see fish and other sea animals

I have wanted to ride horses for many years, and I was able to fulfill that dream at Kualoa Ranch. Some people say it can be tough on the back and knees, but my 46-year-old self and my high school daughter found it enjoyable and not too strenuous. However, even though it was February, Hawaii is still hot, so long sleeves (for sun protection) are a must.

Depending on the experience time, there can be a significant wait for the bus on the way to and from the ranch, so it's best to be prepared for that.

長年乗馬をしたいと思っていて、クアロアランチで叶えることが出来ました。
人によっては腰や膝にくる、と言いますが46才の私と高校生の娘はさほどキツくもなく楽しく乗れました。
ただ、2月でしたがやはりハワイは暑く長袖(日焼け対策)は必須です。

体験時間によっては行き帰りのバスの時間に相当な待ちが生じるのでそこは覚悟していた方がいいです。

A friend who experienced it with me was not good with heights, but they said they were completely fine and glad they participated. I wanted to stay longer because the views were beyond my expectations. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem.

一緒に体験した友人が高いところが苦手でしたが全く大丈夫で参加して良かったと言ってました。私は予想以上の景色でもっといたいと思うほど。スタッフは日本語は通じませんが問題なしです。

I love the experience and the food is very good, the show was amazing

The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.

送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…

What a great experience and wonderful adventure. My grandson who has autism was on FaceTime when we stopped and was so happy to get to experience some of this trip.

They have different level and am the total beginner.

Can park at zoo entrance - walking distance if have a car.

The instructor is very patient and it's family friendly.

My first booking was cancelled at very last minute. The captain only told me when I got to the pier - 2hours round trips was wasted for nothing without early notice.

I booked second one which was rescheduled twice, eventually it made through and my daughter loves it.

The water is bit cold in the first place but bearable and we stayed in water for 40mins or longer as we were the last group.

On the way back, we saw the whales - what a bonus!!

If you speak Japanese well, you can call for assistance at any time upon arrival. I was reassured to hear that even during the activities, the staff would respond in Japanese if requested.

The instructor who arrived was able to incorporate some basic Japanese, which made the experience enjoyable.

The scenery was amazing! At one point where we could see the ocean, we were lucky enough to spot whale spray! Although we didn't see the whale itself, it's not something you encounter often. It was a lucky moment!

I had a great time. The horses were very well-behaved, and I had no worries at all.

　日本語バッチリの方が、到着時に何かあったらいつでも呼んでください。とあり、アクティビティ途中でも、係の方に頼めば直ぐに日本語での対応してくれると言うことでしたので、まず安心できました。
　着いてくれたインストラクターの方も片言の日本語を盛り込みながら楽しむことが出来ました。
景色は最高！途中で海が見えるところでは、運良くクジラのしぶきを確認！クジラは見えなかったけれど、そんなにあることじゃないよ。ラッキーです！と
とても楽しめました。馬もとてもお利口さんで全く心配ありませんでした。

There were about 50 people in the audience for the second stage we attended. Many were couples and families with small children, and there were six of us from Japan in our group. Basically, the show proceeded in English until the explanation before the performance, but during the magic acts, explanations were also provided in Japanese, so even with our middle school-level English vocabulary, we were able to enjoy it thoroughly.

The magician, Shoot (Japanese), said that as a child, he admired Captain Tsubasa and practiced soccer by the river, but before he knew it, he was looking for stones to practice magic.

The show was wonderful and has become one of our cherished memories of Hawaii!

私たちが参加したセカンドステージの観客は50人くらい。カップルや小さなお子さんを連れた家族連れが多く、日本人は私達のグループの6名でした。基本的にショーの前説明までは英語で進みますが、マジック中は日本語で説明も付け加えてもらえるので、中学生レベルの英単語力しか無い私達でも十分に楽しめました。

マジシャンのシュートさん(日本人)は、子供の頃はキャプテン翼に憧れて河原でサッカーの練習していたけど、気づけばマジックの練習に使う石ころを探していたそうです。

ショーも素晴らしく、ハワイの思い出の一つに残りました！

The staff members are very cheerful, and you can tell they are trying to entertain us. They understand Japanese to some extent, so I don't think there will be any issues. It can be a bit chilly during the rainy season, so a jacket is essential.

スタッフの方達がとても陽気で、こちらを楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わる。
日本語もある程度伝わるので、困る事もないと思います。
雨季だと少し寒いので、上着は必須です。

You can see wonderful scenery. There are several stops where the guide provides explanations, but everything is in English, so those who do not speak English may not understand the content at all. Since there is a lot of dust, it's recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

素晴らしい景色を見れます。
いくつかのポイントで停車して、ガイドの方が説明をしてくれますが、全て英語なので英語が出来ない方は説明の内容が一切わからないと思います。
砂埃がすごいので、汚れても良い服装がオススメです。

I experienced parasailing, banana boat, and bumper tube. The staff at the reception spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease! During the experience, there was a foreigner who understood a little Japanese. However, there were no issues since the important parts were communicated in Japanese.

We started with parasailing, followed by the banana boat and bumper tube. It seems that parasailing uses a different boat! The banana boat, bumper tube, and jet ski were all on the same boat.

It was much more intense than doing it in Japan, and I had a really great time! While waiting during parasailing, I took a lot of pictures of the scenery. I noticed that standing up wasn’t frowned upon at all, which made me realize again how different it is from Japan.

They even told jokes, and although I was anxious about doing activities abroad, it ended up being really fun. Next time, I want to try jet skiing!

パラセーリング、バナナボート、バンパーチューブ
この３つを体験しました。
受付の方は日本語ペラペラで安心しました！
体験中は日本語が少しわかる外国人の方でした。でも全然大切な部分は日本語通じるので問題なしです。

まずはパラセーリングからの体験でその後バナナボート、バンパーチューブでした。
パラセーリングだけは船が違うみたいです！
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ、ジェットスキーは一緒の船でした。

日本でやるよりもかなり激しくて本当に楽しかったです！
パラセーリング中も自分が待機時間の時は景色をたくさん撮ってました。立っても全然怒られなくて日本とは違うんだなーと改めて感じました(^^)

ジョークを言ってくれたり、海外でアクティビティをやるのが不安でしたが本当に楽しく終われました。
今度はジェットスキーやってみたいです！
