I did banana boat rides, parasailing, and bumper tubing. I've experienced all of them many times, but they're always fun no matter how many times I do them!! My husband, who went with me, did them for the first time and seemed to really enjoy it; it became our best memory in Hawaii!!

バナナボート、パラセーリング、バンパーチューブをしました。私はどれも何回も体験していますが、何度やっても楽しいです！！一緒に行った主人は初めてでしたがとても楽しめたようで、ハワイ1番の思い出になりました！！

I thought it was very enjoyable and a great experience, but it was shorter than the promised time, and I was disappointed that we were instructed to get off without any warning, as the next group was boarding immediately. It felt like it ended abruptly.

とても楽しくて体験できて良かったと思いますが、提示の時間より短くて、予告もなく降りるように指示され直ぐに次のグループが乗り込む感じだったのが残念でした。急に呆気なく終わった感じでした。

It was the most affordable seat, but since the venue wasn't very large, I was able to see everything, which was great. There were tears, surprises, and laughter, making it an unforgettable 90 minutes!

1番リーズナブルな席でしたが、会場が広くない為、全体が見られてよかったです。
涙あり、驚きあり、笑いありであっという間の90分でした！

About 30 years ago, I went parasailing. All I remember is feeling seasick ^^; This time, I made sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding.

Parasailing while enjoying the familiar scenery of Waikiki was the best. I think the time was also sufficient.

The staff spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

３０年程前にパラセーリングをしたことがあります。
船で酔った事しか覚えてなく^^;
今回は酔い止めをちゃんと飲んで乗船。

見慣れたワイキキの風景を見ながらのパラセーリング最高でした。
時間も十分だったのだと思います。

スタッフさんも日本語が話せ安心です。

I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time. I was satisfied with the two-hour horseback riding experience and the ample time spent there. However, I had a lot of concerns. First, there were no Japanese-speaking staff, and I wasn't quite sure how to use the locked lockers, so I ended up leaving my things in a regular storage area. Fortunately, I was wearing a jacket with zippered pockets, so I could at least keep my wallet safe. I was anxious because all the safety instructions for riding were in English, but the horses were well-behaved and not scary at all. I wish there had been signs and videos in Japanese. Well, it's my fault for not understanding English...

I was looking forward to seeing the movie filming locations, but there were none at all, and I just walked along the mountain paths. It's disappointing.

初めてクアロアランチに行きました。
２時間の乗馬、たっぷりの時間を過ごす事が出来て満足ではありました。
が、不安はいっぱいで
まず、日本語のスタッフさんが居なくて
鍵付きロッカーの使い方がイマイチ分からず
結果、普通の荷物置き場に置きました。
幸いファスナー付きのポケットの服だったので財布くらいは入れられたのでよかったのですが。
馬に乗る際の注意点すら全て英語だったので不安でしたが
お馬さん、お利口さんで怖くなかったです。
日本語の看板やビデオがあったらいいのになって思いました。
ま、英語が分からない私が悪いのですが…。

映画のロケ地を楽しみにしていましたが
全く無くてひたすら山道を歩きました。
残念です。

I'm glad I didn't get seasick. The initial moment of flying was thrilling. It was higher than I expected. Being dragged while touching the water was fun.

船酔いしないでよかった。飛ぶときの最初がスリル満点。思った以上に高かった。水つかりながら引きずられて面白かった。

The voucher issued states that the check-in location is "Hilton Hawaiian Village - Mid-Pacific Conference Center Rooftop." I heard that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I planned to arrive early and wait on the rooftop for a good seat. However, even after the scheduled time, no reception staff or anyone else showed up, and the local contact number was unreachable as the business hours had ended. In the end, I just had to go down to the venue and check in directly after the scheduled time. Unfortunately, I ended up at the back of the line and couldn't get a good seat, which was very disappointing. The luau show itself was good.

発行されたバウチャーには、チェックイン場所が「ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ - ミッドパシフィック・コンファレンス・センター屋上」となっています。
席は先着順と聞いたため、良い席を取りたいと考え予定の時間より早く屋上に集合して待っていましたが、予定時間を過ぎても受付スタッフも誰も現れず、現地連絡先の電話番号も営業時間が終了しておりつながらず。結局時間を過ぎて会場まで下りて行って直接受付すればよいだけでした。おかげで列の最後の並んでよい席は取れず、大変残念でした。
ルアウショー自体はよかったです。

I watched my middle and high school sons do parasailing, bumper tubing, and banana boating. We traveled by boat from the meeting point to a relay station in the middle of the bay, where we observed them while they enjoyed bumper tubing and banana boating. While the kids played in the distance, the staff around us occasionally chatted with us in Japanese and English, which kept us entertained.

For parasailing, even though we were just spectators, we all put on life jackets and took a small boat to the parasailing boat. Without any mental preparation, we sped across the sea at high speed, with waves splashing on our faces. Despite feeling scared, we all laughed together as a family and had a great time.

There were photos from all three activities, so it cost about $90-100, but since there were many videos and pictures taken with a telephoto DSLR and a GoPro, I thought it was reasonable.

中高生の息子たちがパラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートをするのを見学しました。待ち合わせの場所から湾の真ん中にある中継基地(!?)へ船で移動し、バンパーチューブとバナナボートをしている間はそこから見学する形でした。遠くで子供たちが遊んでる間も、時々周りにいる係のお兄さん達が日本語や英語で楽しく話しかけてくれて退屈しませんでした。

パラセーリングは見学のみの私たちも一緒に救命胴衣をつけてパラセーリング用ボートのところまで小型ボートに乗って移動したのですが、なんの心の準備もないまま超高速で海の上を飛ぶように進んで波もバシャバシャ顔にかかって、怖がりながらも家族みんなで笑ってとても楽しかったです。

写真は3種目分ありましたので90-100ドルしましたが、望遠一眼レフやGoProを使っての動画や写真が沢山あったので、まあそんなものかなと思いました。

It was very hot, but I had a great time. It seemed that there were few staff members who could provide guidance in Japanese at Sea Life Park, but there was one male staff member who was fluent in Japanese. He explained things to us beforehand and stayed nearby to assist during the experience, which was reassuring. The program with the dolphins was a valuable experience that you can't have in Japan.

When I got off the shuttle bus on the way there, I was anxious because there was no information about the return pick-up time; we were just dropped off. While I was at the Sea Life Park reception, the staff there informed me that the bus would depart at 2 PM.

とても暑かったですが，楽しかったです。
シーライフパークには日本語で案内できる方は少ないようでしたが，日本語が堪能な男性スタッフが一人いらっしゃって，事前に説明してくださり，体験している間も近くにいて補助してくださったので，心強かったです。
イルカとのプログラムは日本ではできない貴重な体験でした。

行きの送迎バスを降りたとき，帰りのお迎えの時間もこれからどうするかの何の案内もなく，ただおろされただけだったので，不安でした。わからないまま，シーライフパークの受付を行っていたら，受付の方から14時にバスが出発すると告げられました。

The view of the blue sea of the North Shore from the height of the horse's back was amazing. I was worried that a long horseback ride might get boring, but the time flew by quickly.

馬の背の高さから眺めるノースショアの碧い海、最高でした。
長時間の乗馬、飽きないかなぁ？と心配してましたが、あっというまに過ぎた乗馬の時間でした。

I watched from the cheap seats at the back, but I could see everything and the atmosphere was perfect; it was amazing. It felt like watching Olympic gymnastics with perfect technique and an engaging structure, making the hour and a half fly by. On the first day of my trip, I was a bit drowsy before the 5:30 PM start, but once it began, I was wide awake and enjoyed it until the very end. I definitely want to see it again next time.

奥の安い席で見ましたが、全体が見渡せ臨場感も申し分無く、最高でした。
オリンピックの体操競技を見ているような完璧な技術と飽きさせない構成であっと言う間の1時間半でした。旅行初日の17時30分開演で開演前はウトウトしてましたが始まると目ギンギンで最後までアット言うまで完走しました。次回も是非観たいです。

I’m not good with the thrill of roller coasters, so I was honestly quite nervous before getting on. However, once I experienced it, there was almost no feeling of weightlessness or fear, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind!

Above all, the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky were truly amazing!

As others have mentioned, since there is some time spent on the boat, I think it’s a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medicine beforehand.

Photos cost $40, but they became a wonderful memory, so I’m really glad I purchased them!

ジェットコースターのようなスリルが苦手なので、正直乗る前はかなりドキドキしていましたが、実際に体験してみると浮遊感や怖さはほとんどなく、安心して楽しめました！
何より、上空から眺めるハワイの絶景は本当に素晴らしかったです！
ほかの方も書かれているように、船に乗っている時間があるので酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心だと思います。
写真は40ドルしますが思い出になったので、購入して本当によかったです！

A group of three close friends for 40 years. We had always wanted to visit Hawaii together, and this year, we celebrated our 60th birthdays and made that dream come true! We were moved by the beauty of Waikiki from the summit of Diamond Head. The journey to the top was not as tough as we expected, and even after turning 60, we were able to enjoy the scenery while climbing.

４０年来の仲良し３人組。
いつかは３人で行ってみたいと思っていたハワイ、今年還暦を迎え夢を実現させました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド山頂から見るワイキキの美しさに感動しました。
山頂までの道のりは思ったよりもキツくなく、還暦過ぎでも景色を楽しみながら登ることができました。

Jenny was very patient and kind with my 10 year old who had anxiety. This was a good beginner snorkel lesson!

Since I hadn't booked many activities for this trip, I asked a local acquaintance for recommendations, and they mentioned that Cirque du Soleil, which just opened last year, is very popular. Although I hesitated a bit due to the cost, I decided to seize the opportunity and booked the best seats. From start to finish, this was the first show that truly engaged and entertained the audience. Most importantly, seeing the children leaning forward, their eyes sparkling, and sometimes bursting into laughter made me feel that the price was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!

今回の旅行ではあまりアクティビティを予約していなかったので現地で知り合いの方にお勧めを伺ったところ、シルクドソレイユは去年できたばかりでとても人気とのことで少し金銭面で迷いはありましたが、せっかくの機会なので1番いい席を予約しました。初めから最後まで、こんなにも観客を巻き込んで楽しませてくれるショーは初めてです。何より子供達が身体を乗り出し、目をキラキラさせ時には声をあげて爆笑している姿を見て、この金額は惜しくないと本心からそう思えました。お勧めです！

I was really looking forward to the horseback riding experience. However, the horse assigned to me seemed to be in a bad mood from the start, and my bad feeling turned out to be true. The horse wouldn't listen to me and kept wandering off, and in the end, the instructor even clicked their tongue at me. Huh? Is it my fault?? The scenery was wonderful, though.

とても楽しみにしていた乗馬体験。しかしながら私にあてがわれた馬は最初からご機嫌ななめな感じで、嫌な予感がしたのが的中。なかなか言う事を聞いてくれず道草ばかりで、挙句の果てにインストラクターから舌打ちされる始末。え？私のせい？？
景色は素晴らしかったです。

The crew explained things to me in broken Japanese, which made me feel at ease while flying. Even while waiting in line on the boat, they entertained us in various ways, easing our fears and making it a truly enjoyable experience.
Challenging myself at a height of 150m, the view from the top of Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the deep blue ocean was incredibly beautiful!

クルーの方が片言の日本語で説明してくれたから安心して飛ぶ事が出来ました。
船上で順番待ちしている時も色々楽しませてくれて恐怖心も和らげてくれ本当に楽しませてもらいました。
高さ１５０mに挑戦
頂点からのワイキキビール、ダイヤモンドベッドそして真っ青な海がめっちゃ綺麗〜

This was my second time, following last year, and since I was familiar with the meeting place and the content, I enjoyed it as I expected. I went with my first grader, a second-year middle schooler, and my grandparents who are over 75, and I think it’s a suitable activity for both children and older adults. It seems that they group Japanese participants together. Last time was in the morning, so this time I chose a time just before noon when the scenery was nice, but the cobalt blue sea was still intimidating (150m). Last time, perhaps because my children were small, there wasn’t the usual pattern of dipping into the sea before going down, but this time that happened, and I was submerged more than I expected. My grandparents were submerged even more. So, those holding cameras need to be careful.

昨年に引き続き2回目で、集合場所も内容も把握していたので思った通り楽しめました。
小1、中2、75才を超えた祖父母とのぞみましたが、子どもにもご年配の方にもちょうどよいアクティビティだと思います。
どうやらこちらは、日本人は日本人のグループでまとめてくれるようです。
前回は朝だったので、今回は景色の良いお昼前を選んだのですが、コバルトブルーの海が相変わらず怖かったです(150m)
前回は子どもが小さいと思ったからか、降りる前に一回海にジャブンとつけるお決まりのパターンはなかったのですが、今回はそれがあり、思った以上に沈められました。
祖父母はさらに沈められていました。
なのでカメラを手に持つ方は注意が必要です。

I participated in the 6:30 AM tour. I was more worried about seasickness than the sharks, as I had read in reviews that it could be severe. In the end, the boat and the cage did sway, but perhaps because it was morning, I managed to cope with the slight rocking. On the way back, I dozed off, but my child said they saw dolphins.

Regarding the number of sharks, I thought I wouldn't see many, but it seems there is a way to attract them, and we were able to see quite a few. The moment I first saw the silhouette glowing in fluorescent colors from the sunrise above the boat was the scariest, but since the sharks weren't charging at the cage, I was reasonably satisfied.

Additionally, I brought my own snorkeling set, as mentioned in the reviews. I also got to see the beautiful morning scenery of the North and saw plenty of sharks, so I was very satisfied with this experience.

朝6:30のツアーに参加しました。
口コミより、船酔いがひどいとあったので鮫よりもそちらの心配ばかりしていました。
結果、船もゲージも確かに揺れはしましたが朝だったおかげか多少の揺れで乗り切れました。帰りは居眠りしていたのですが、子どもが言うにはイルカも見えたようです。
鮫の量については、なんだかんだそんなに見られないかと思っていましたが、呼び寄せ方があるようでたくさん見ることができました。
先に船の上から朝日で蛍光色に浮かび上がるシルエットを見た時が1番怖さを感じたのですが、ゲージにガシガシ突進してくる鮫ではなかったので、程よく満足。
加えて、口コミにもあったのでシュノーケルセットは持ち込みました。
ノースの綺麗な朝の景色も見られ、鮫もたくさん見たのでこの1回で大満足です。

I was in the fourth row, and it was very powerful and overwhelming. It was fun to energize the venue, and I thought I would like to see it in various countries.

前から4列目でとても迫力もあり、圧倒されました。会場を盛り上げる楽しさもあり、色んな国でも観たいと思いました。

I had an amazing time! They took a ton of great photos, and it became a wonderful memory! The people driving the boat and those who handled the photo data were very friendly and approachable. Thank you!

めっちゃ楽しかったです！
写真もすんごい沢山撮ってくれて、良い想い出になりました！
船を運転してる方達も写真データ受け渡しの方もとても気さくでフレンドリーで良い方達でした。
ありがとうございました！

I saw a certain idol enjoying this canoe in Hawaii, so I decided to try it out. As a result, riding the waves is so much fun!! Surfing and bodyboarding are difficult, but with this canoe, it's easy to experience. I was able to ride the waves three times.

某アイドルがハワイでこのカヌーを楽しんでいたので、体験してみました。
結果、波に乗るって楽しい！！
サーフィンやボディボードは難しいけど、このカヌーなら手軽に体験可能。
3回波に乗ることができました。

I was able to take my time and explore throughout the entire day, which was very nice.

There were also light snacks available at various places, so I didn't have much trouble.

丸一日使ってゆっくり回れたのでとても良かったです。

軽食も各所にあるので、あまり困りませんでした。

I've seen various silk shows, and the first thing I thought upon entering was that it was a small venue. I initially thought it might be a bit cramped, but once the show started, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied. The production made the most of the space, and it was truly wonderful. I'm really glad I attended.

シルクのショーは色々見てますが、入場して最初に思ったのは、狭い会場だなと。こじんまりしたものなのかなと思ってしまいましたが、ショーが始まったら大迫力で大満足でした。
スペースを最大限に活かした演出は、本当に素晴らしかった。本当に観て良かったです。

We had an amazing experience, saw so many sea turtles. Our guide was great and he gave us tips and locations to visit on our trip. This is a phenomenal experience and I would highly recommend again!

The guide shared various stories about Hawaii during the trip, which was very informative. In Haleiwa Town, we were first given a tour of the restrooms and attractions by car, and then we had free time to explore, so we could enjoy sightseeing without getting lost. I think it was a good decision to take the tour since it would take a long time to go by bus.

道中にガイドさんがいろいろなハワイの話をしてくれて勉強になりました。ハレイワタウンも最初に車で一通りトイレや見どころなどの案内をされてから自由行動でしたので、迷わずに観光できました。バスで行くと時間がかかるのでツアーにしてよかったと思います。

The horse was cute. It was quite smart and would stop or go without me having to give any commands.

Even though it was just horseback riding, the scenery was amazing and it was a lot of fun.

お馬さんが可愛かったです。
かなり賢く、こちらが指示しなくても止まったり進んだらしてくれます。

乗馬だけなのに景色もすごくて楽しかったです。

The weather was nice, and the view of the sea, sky, and Diamond Head was amazing. The boat rocked quite a bit, but I enjoyed it as if I were cruising. I recommend the 150-meter option, as it lasts significantly longer.

お天気も良く、海と空とダイヤモンドヘッドの見晴らし最高でした。ボートはかなり揺れますが、クルージングをしてる気分で楽しめました。150メートルの方が、かなり時間も長くおすすめです。

I realized that I had made a mistake with my reservation during the ride to the airport, but I am grateful that you kindly accommodated the change. The explanations were very clear, allowing me to feel at ease for the flight. The flight itself was simply amazing! The pilot provided a lot of explanations and stories, making the one-hour journey fly by. I also took many photos and videos, which will bring back joyful memories when I look back on them. I would definitely like to use your services again if the opportunity arises. Thank you!

ピックアップしていただき空港までの道中、私が予約内容を間違っていた事に気付いたのですが、快く変更に応じていただけた事に感謝です。
諸々の説明もとてもわかりやすく、安心してフライトにのぞむことが出来ました。
飛行中はもう最高！の一言で、パイロットの方はたくさん説明やお話をしてくれますし、あっという間の1時間でした。
写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただいたので、後から振り返っても楽しい気持ちになります。
また機会があれば是非利用したいです。
ありがとうございました！

Staff was amazing friendly and made sure our family of 5 had one of their favorite days in Hawaii….. If we had more time would have gone back again.
