I participated with my 66-year-old mother and 11-year-old daughter. Although I couldn't speak any Japanese, the staff were very kind, so we managed to get by with our feelings. It was our first time riding horses, and we were able to enjoy it from start to finish. Both my mother and daughter were very happy. However, the long bus ride and the uncertainty of the time made us anxious until we got back, but we created wonderful memories. Thank you!
66歳の母と11歳の娘を連れて参加しました。日本語は全く通じませんでしたが、対応してくれた方がとても親切でしたので、なんとかフィーリングで切り抜けました。初めての乗馬でしたが、最初から最後まで楽しく乗ることができました。母も娘もすごく喜んでくれました。ただ、The busでの移動が長いのと時間の予測がつかないのとで、帰って来るまでドキドキでしたが素晴らしい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました!

The weather was nice, so we were able to see sea turtles from the boat and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. We also had a jungle exploration in a vehicle like a jeep, visiting many movie filming locations, including Jurassic World. The lunch buffet was delicious too.
天気がよかったせいもあり船から海ガメをみることができたり、綺麗な山の景色を堪能しました。またジープのような車でシャングル探検あり、ジュラシックワールドなど数多くの映画ロケ地をめぐりなど楽しめます。昼食のバイキングも美味しいですよ。

I chose the highest option at 150m, and I was worried it might be scary, but not at all! It was a fun aerial walk, and the staff were friendly, making it enjoyable. If I could make a request, it would be that the meeting point was a bit hard to find, so a map-like explanation would have been helpful. Also, if I had known the price for photo taking from the beginning, I could have paid right away and not kept the driver waiting. But truly, seeing Waikiki from the sky is beautiful. I highly recommend this activity.
一番高い150mを選んだので、怖かったらどうしようと思っていましたが、全然!
全然怖くなくて楽しい空中散歩でした。
係りの人の感じも良くて気持ちよく楽しむことができました。
ただリクエストするとすれば、集合場所が少し分かり辛かったので地図のような説明があったら良かったのと、写真撮影のお値段が最初から分かっていたらすぐにお支払い出来てドライバーさんにお待ち頂くことも無かったかなと思いました。
でも本当に空から見るワイキキは綺麗です。
おすすめのアクティビティです。

A week before going to Hawaii, I researched online and chose this tour because it offered the highest flight at a low price. This time, I participated with my family of five, including my children who are in 2nd grade, 5th grade, and 2nd year of middle school. Since this tour allowed children from the age of 7, I managed to convince my son, who is scared even of the children's roller coaster. On the morning of the tour, it was covered with dark clouds and it rained occasionally, but as expected in Hawaii, the weather cleared up quickly and the sky turned blue. The shuttle bus arrived on time. I have participated in various tours before, and it was often late, so I was relieved. We enjoyed a pleasant breeze on the bus, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the destination from Waikiki. We quickly transferred to the boat and set sail.
For about 10 minutes out to sea, we got splashed with water due to the momentum. I brought a larger backpack, but it got wet, so I think just having a camera would be sufficient. Motion sickness medication is essential for enjoying the experience. Although my children, who are prone to motion sickness, didn't get sick thanks to the medication, I, who usually doesn't get sick, felt unwell because I didn't take any. But before I knew it, the first group started jumping, and it was our family's turn. My wife and our two sons went first. We jumped with our 2nd-grade son in the middle. The ascent was slow, so it wasn't scary. From the top, we could see Diamond Head and the endless horizon beautifully. My sons, who I was worried about, enjoyed it without being scared. We chose the highest jump at 150 meters, which was sufficiently high. At the end, there was an option to be submerged in water up to our waists. This was optional. Some groups returned without getting wet, but since it dries quickly and is fun, I recommend going for the splash. The cleanup after jumping was quick, and we were able to return immediately. This tour is enjoyable enough to fill a two-hour gap, and I was very satisfied. We made great memories with our children. Thank you very much.
ハワイに行く一週間前にネットで調べた所、このツアーが一番高く飛び、値段も安かったのでこちらを選びました。今回は、小学2年、5年、中2の子供達を連れて家族5人での参加です。
このツアーは7歳から参加可能だった為、子供用ジェットコースタ―さえも怖がる息子を説得しました。当日の朝、黒い雲に覆われ時折雨も降っていましたが、さすがハワイ。すぐに天気も回復して青空になりました。送迎のバスは時間通りにきました。以前いろんなツアーに参加した事がありますが、時間に遅れてくる事が頻繁にあった為、ほっとしました。バスで心地良い風を受けながら、ワイキキから⑩分で到着。すぐボートに乗り換え出港。
⑩分程沖に出るまでは勢いで水しぶきがかかります。私は大きめのリュックを持っていきましたが濡れたので、カメラだけあればよいと思います。酔い止めは楽しむ為にも必須。家族の中で酔いやすい子供達は酔い止めのおかげで酔わなかったのに、普段酔わない僕は酔い止めを飲まなかった為、気分が悪くなってしまいました。でもあっと言う間に一組目から飛び初め、僕たち家族の番に。初めに妻と長男2人。僕たちは小2の息子を真ん中にして3人で飛びました。飛び出しもゆっくり上がっていくので怖くありません。一番上ではダイアモンドヘッドやどこまでも続く水平線がきれいに見えました。心配していた息子達も怖がる事なく楽しんでいました。一番高い150Mを選んだ為高さは充分。最後に水の中に腰まで入れてもらうおまけつき。これは選択できます。濡れずに戻ってきたグループもありましたが、すぐに乾くし楽しい為ポチャンとしてもらう事をおすすめします。飛び終わってからの片付けも早く、すぐに帰る事ができました。2時間の空き時間があれば十分楽しめるツアーで満足度は高いです。子供達とよい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

I chose a movie location tour and a private beach. The movie location tour was led by a Japanese driver and guide, who was very interesting and enjoyable to talk to. I was surprised to learn that a lot of filming took place at this ranch, more than I expected. I plan to watch the movies he introduced to me. I enjoyed the magnificent nature that is not commonly seen in Japan.
The lunch (buffet) was quite good! My husband and kids had plenty of pineapple. We ate at various places during our trip, but the food here was quite delicious (it was perfectly ripe).
After lunch, we went to the private beach, but everything was in English!
When I used the service, I think about 30% of the guests were Japanese, but after arriving, the information regarding the meeting time, important notes for use, and the locations of changing rooms and restrooms were all in English. My husband and I strained to listen and tried to understand, but it wasn't presented in a way that was easy for Japanese people to follow, so we could only catch a few words.
In the end, I didn't understand the meeting time, so I just observed the surroundings... (It got hectic, and we ended up being last). I understood the rest through a mix of a few words and gestures, but since it was important information, I wish they had at least posted a printed sheet somewhere.
I had high expectations for the beach, but the water clarity was almost nonexistent, and I couldn't find any fish. (Were there any?)
There were quite a few rocks for a beach, and when I fell while stand-up paddling, all of my family ended up injuring their feet. However, I think it would cost around $30 to use it on the beach, so it was good to try it for free here.
I love beaches and have been to many, but this one was a bit disappointing. The free rentals were nice, though, as they had various options (including kayaks).
When we returned from the beach, there was no time to check out the souvenir shop, and we had to take the bus back immediately. If you're planning to buy souvenirs, I think it would be good to go during lunch. There were various items that were different from those in Waikiki, so I regret not being able to see them.
映画ロケ地めぐりと、プライベートビーチを選択しました。
映画ロケ地めぐりは、日本人のドライバー兼ガイドさんで、
お話すごく面白くてとても良かったです(^^)
思った以上にこの牧場で沢山の撮影がされていてびっくり。

昼食(バイキング)はふつうにおいしかったです!

(慌ただしくなっちゃってギリギリ最後になっちゃいました)
他は、なんとなくの単語とジェスチャーで理解しましたが、
大事な事なのでせめて、プリント1枚どこかに貼っておいて欲しかったです。
ビーチは、期待してたんですが透明度はほぼ無く魚は見つけられませんでした。
(いたのかな?)
ビーチの割に岩が多くて、
スタンドアップバドルで転んだ時に、家族全員足をけがしてしまいました(;;)
でも、ビーチで利用すると30ドルぐらいはかかると思うので、ここで無料で試せて良かったです。
ビーチが好きで、あちこち行ってるのですがビーチ自体は微妙かな?
無料レンタル自体は色々あって良かったです。(カヤックとかもあったし)
ビーチから戻ったら、お土産屋さん見る時間無くすぐ帰るバスでした;
お土産買おうと思ってる方は、お昼ごはんのときに行かれると良いと思います。
ワイキキとは違ったもの色々あったので、見たかったなー残念。

I do think $60 was a little too high for what we got but I will also say my whole family incl 2 teens loved the trip & that made it worth it to me :)
Non alcoholic drinks should be included I think - soda or water at least! The snacks were a nice touch tho. Really enjoyed our outing & would do it again for sure. Great crew too & kocation was perfect for us to walk to from our hotel.

From the pier in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, you can take a boat to board a submarine that is anchored offshore, where you can observe the wreckage of ships and airplanes sunk off Waikiki, as well as the fish and turtles that inhabit them.
There are limited resorts that offer submarine activities, and getting a glimpse of the mysteries of the ocean floor is a rare experience.
Additionally, there is a Japanese audio guide available, so you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.
Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel前の桟橋から船で移動し、沖合に停泊している潜水艦に乗り込み、ワイキキ沖に沈む船や飛行機の残骸と、それらに住んでいる魚やカメを観察することができます。
潜水艦のアクティビティがあるリゾート地は限られますし、海底の神秘を垣間見ることができるのはなかなかできない体験です。
また、日本語の音声ガイドがありますので、英語が出来なくても楽しめます。

This was my first time applying.
Perhaps because I was the only Japanese customer, the staff on the parasailing boat spoke very quickly and I couldn't catch what they were saying.
Of course, they didn't speak Japanese.
I wanted to buy photos, but they didn't explain it properly. I thought there would be a chance to discuss it later, but when I asked, I was told, "If you don't tell us in advance, we won't take any photos." When I mentioned that there was no explanation, they said, "It seems that he (the man who was explaining) only explained to a few people, and I'm sorry."
It was very disappointing.
The view was amazing!!
今回始めて申し込みました。
私意外のお客さんは外国人ばかりなこともあってか、パラセーリングの船の人もネイティブなかんじで、説明もとても早くて聞き取れなかった。

そして、写真を買いたかったがちゃんと説明してくれず、あとで話があるのかと思ってたけど、話がないから聞いてみたら、『事前に言ってくれないと写真とってない』と言われ、頭にきて説明がなかったと言うと、『彼(説明してた男の人)が一部の人にしか説明してなかったみたいで、ごめんなさい』と言われ、

My first parasailing experience! After deciding on my trip to Hawaii, I looked at various companies' optional tours and chose this one. After reading the reviews, I opted for the highest option at 150m, and it was definitely the right choice!
It was drizzling in the morning, but I took the shuttle at 11:30. We arrived and waited a bit, during which the rain stopped. When it was our turn, I boarded last, following everyone else.
Maybe that was a mistake, as I ended up being the first to fly (sweat). I took off into the sky without any mental preparation (laughs). Flying high in the air, the view was amazing! I thought it could have lasted a bit longer, but I didn't feel it was too short.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't scary at all, but I quickly forgot that feeling and had a great time (*´∀`)♪ I intended to buy photos even though they were high up, but I wasn't able to get any. Do you have to ask for them?
Also, I was taken aback when they asked for tips while holding a $20 bill visibly.
However, it really felt wonderful, so if I get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would like to sign up for parasailing again!
初めてのパラセイリング、ハワイ旅行が決まってから、色々な会社のオプショナルツアーを見て、こちらに決めました。体験談をみて、一番高い150mにしたけど、、やっぱり正解でした!!
朝から小雨が降っていましたが、11:30に送迎のトロリーに乗り、到着して少し待ちましたが、この間に雨もやみ、順番が来て、みんなの後に付いて一番最後に乗船しました。
これがいけなかったか、一番に飛ぶ事に(汗)
心の準備ないまま空に飛ぶ事なりました(笑)
空高く飛び、景色もサイコー!!
時間は、もう少しあってもいいかなとは思うけど、短いとは思いませんでした。
全く怖くないと言ったら嘘になりますが、そんな気持ちすぐに忘れて、とても楽しめました(*´∀`)♪
写真は高くても購入しようと思っていましたが、撮って貰えませんでした。言わないとダメなのかな?
あと、20ドル札を見えるように持ち、チップお願いしますと言われた事にはドン引きしました。
でも、ホントに気持ちよかったので、またハワイに行く事ができたら、その時は、パラセイリング申込したいと思います!

You will wait for the shuttle bus at the Hyatt Regency, which will make about three stops along the way before arriving. The submarine does not have a restroom, but there is a restroom on the moving boat, so you can feel at ease. Under the sea, you will visit several points. The view differs depending on whether you are sitting on the left or right, but when there are sea turtles, they will rotate so that both seats can see them.

For our honeymoon, my wife really wanted to go parasailing in Hawaii. On the day of the activity, we were tired from hiking Diamond Head early in the morning, and since we had some time before our pickup, we ended up rushing to get ready and almost missed the meeting time. We arrived a little late, but the staff were very kind and cheerful in their response.
The other passengers were all foreigners, and we filled out a waiver for Japanese participants in the vehicle. We were dropped off at the port near Ala Moana Center. Upon arrival, we were told to show our voucher at the office and wait until our turn on a bench. The waiting time was surprisingly long, and since there didn’t seem to be many shops nearby, I learned firsthand that it’s a good idea to always carry drinks when going out in Hawaii.
When our time came, we were called and boarded the boat, which took us to the parasailing point. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication based on other reviews.
In the end, parasailing was a wonderful experience. I have a fear of heights, so I was honestly a bit scared, but the beautiful views made it worth it! We were blessed with good weather, and we could see Diamond Head! I think the experience lasted about 10 minutes, but I believe it was something I wouldn’t have had the chance to do otherwise. They also took photos of us flying in the sky as a service, which became a great memory.
今回、新婚旅行でハワイに行くにあたり嫁がどうしてもしたかったこと。それがパラセイリングでした。当日、早朝のダイアモンドヘッド登山で疲れていたのとピックアップの時間まで少し時間があったこともあり…起きた時には集合時間ぎりぎりで焦って準備。結果、集合場所に少し遅れてしまったのですが、それにもかかわらずスタッフの方は優しく陽気に対応してくださいました。同乗したのは皆外国の方で、私たちは車内で日本人向けの誓約書を書き、アラモアナセンター近くの港で降ろしてもらいました。
到着したら事務所でバウチャーを見せて時間が来るまで待っておくように言われ、自分たちの順番が来るまでベンチで待ちました。この待ち時間が意外と長かったのと付近にはお店があまりないように感じた為、色々な場所に書かれているようにハワイで外出する際は飲み物は常に持参した方がいいことを身をもって知りました。
時間が来たら呼ばれて船に乗り、ポイントまで運んでもらいましたが、この際かなり揺れたので他の方のレビュー等を参考に酔い止めをのんでいて良かったと感じました。
結果、パラセイリングはとても気持ちのいいものでした。私は高所恐怖症の為正直怖さもありましたが、それを凌駕する景色の良さ!天気にも恵まれました!ダイヤモンドヘッドも見えました!時間は10分程度だったと思いますがこの機会がなければそう経験できるものではなかったと思います。
空を飛んでいる写真もサービスで撮って下さり、とてもいい思い出となりました。

I'm not very familiar with the climate of Oahu, but I always feel like the wind is strong when I leave Honolulu. This time, especially since it was December, the temperature at Sea Life Park was just warm enough to get into the water, but the strong wind made it feel very cold. It felt like swimming in a pool on a cold day.
Despite the fact that all participants were clearly cold, the program progressed quite leisurely. It might be due to the service, or perhaps they have to provide a certain amount of time for the event, but participants had to endure getting splashed by dolphins multiple times while shivering, and they hardly moved on to the important photo opportunities for kisses and handshakes. We participated with our 6-year-old and 3-year-old, but our 3-year-old gave up before the photo session and couldn't do the kiss or handshake. There were other children in the same situation.
While the instructor was very enthusiastic, I thought it would have been better if they could adapt the program a bit more flexibly considering the cold and the presence of many small children. Our 6-year-old said it was fun even though it was cold, so I think age does play a role.
So, I wouldn't recommend this for those who are sensitive to the cold or for families with small children during the cold season. By the way, the facility does not have hot showers or dryers, so after the event, we quickly changed and bundled up to recover our body temperature.
オアフ島の気候に詳しくはないのですが、いつもホノルルを離れると、風が強い気がします。今回は特に12月だったためか、シーライフパークは何とか海には入れるくらいの気温だけど、風が強くとても寒く感じました。寒い日のプールって感じでした。
そんな中、明らかに参加者全員が寒がっているにも関わらず、プログラムはかなりゆったりと進んでいきました。サービスなのかもしれないし、ある程度の時間催しを提供しなければならないのかもしれないのですが、参加者たちが震えているのに何回もイルカのスプラッシュを浴びなければならなかったり、肝心のキスや握手での写真撮影を全然進めなかったり。うちは6歳と3歳の子どもと参加しましたが、3歳の子は写真撮影の前にギブアップで、キスも握手もできませんでした。うちの他にも、同じ状況のお子さんがいました。
インストラクターの方がサービス旺盛なのはいいのですが、寒がっていて、小さい子が多いとか、もう少し状況によって臨機応変にプログラムを進めてくれればいいのにと思いました。
6歳の子は、寒くても楽しい!と言っていたので、ある程度年齢の問題はあると思います。
ということで、寒い時期、寒さが苦手な方や小さい子連れの方はオススメしません。
ちなみに施設にはお湯が出るシャワーやドライヤーはなく、終了後はとにかく着替えて厚着して体温回復しました。

今回3回目の利用です。11歳の子供のためプライベートレッスンで申し込みしましたがやはりここのサーフレッスンが一番楽しいようです!来年はサーフキャンプに入ろうと計画中です。ありがとうございました!!
Aloha,
Thank you for participating in the lesson for the third time. I am very happy to hear that your child had a wonderful time. In private lessons, we can tailor the sessions to each individual customer, so I'm glad we could meet your needs. We look forward to your participation in the surf camp next time!
MAHALO!

We participated as a couple with our 3-year-old child. I thought it was a very good program, and here are my comments based on that impression.
It's safer to make a reservation for dates that are expected to be crowded, but the cancellation policy states, "100% of the total reservation amount after 00:00 local time two business days before the participation date." Considering that I had to cancel at the last minute due to my period and ended up just watching from the poolside, I think it would have been better to make the reservation right before going to the facility. Also, looking at the availability board on the day, not all sessions are fully booked, so if you plan to spend the whole day at the facility, it might be a good idea to make a reservation at the experience corner in the morning.
Additionally, while it is more expensive compared to typical dolphin interaction experiences in Japan, one of the attractions of this program is that it allows participation at a young age. However, when we actually participated, my 3-year-old daughter seemed terrified of the large dolphin, which approached her with its mouth wide open, making cute sounds while coming closer. She clung to her father, crying out "Scary! Scary!" with tears streaming down her face. As a result, she ended up leaving early, and her father awkwardly participated alone in a team of mostly women, making for a surreal dolphin experience. I feel sorry that her screams might have disturbed the other participants. It might be difficult for my child to enjoy this experience until she is around 5 years old. I noticed other children of a similar age from Western countries in other teams were also crying quite a bit. Parents of children in the same age group should take this into consideration.
You can purchase DVDs and photos, but as mentioned earlier, the only photos available were of the father awkwardly kissing the dolphin with a wry smile, and since you can't preview the DVD (even if you could, it would just be footage of screaming), I decided not to buy it.
Regarding photography, participants have to change and put their belongings in lockers, and you are required to remove not only cameras but also glasses and wedding rings in the pool area, so you can't take any photos or videos. Even wearable cameras like GoPros are completely prohibited. However, if you don't use a locker and can bring your bag to the pool, you can leave everything on the waiting bench in front of the pool. The waiting bench is accessible only to participants, so it is quite safe, and you can take photos right up until you enter the pool. During the experience, it's natural for the photographer to stay far away for the sake of the dolphins, so I think having one person participate as a spectator and take photos from the bench with a zoom lens would be a better approach, considering the risks involved. I felt that the pricing for spectators might have been set with such considerations in mind after participating.
<Lessons Learned>
- Overcome fear of large animals
- Manage health schedules
- It's better to scout the location before making a reservation.
夫婦と3歳の子どもでの参加でした。大変良いプログラムだと思いました、という感想ありきでの以下のコメントです。
混雑が予想される日程は予約をしたほうが安心なのですが、キャンセルポリシーに「参加日の2営業日前の現地時間00:00以降、予約総額の100%」とありましたので、直前の生理でキャンセルもせずプールサイドで見学になったことを考えると、施設へ行く直前に予約したほうが良かったと思いました。また、当日の空き状況ボードを見るとすべての回が予約で埋まるわけではないので、1日この施設で遊ぶつもりなら朝から体験コーナーの受付で予約するのもアリかなと思います。
それと、日本での一般的なイルカふれ合い体験に比べ高額ですが、低年齢での参加が可能なのがこのプログラムの魅力のひとつ。実際に参加してみると3歳の娘に実物の大きなイルカは恐怖でしかないようで、大きく口を開け頭を出してキュッキュと可愛い声で鳴きながら近づいてくるイルカの姿に鼻水を流しながら父親に抱きついてコワイ!コワイ!と絶叫しておりました。結果、娘も途中離脱し、大半を父親ひとり挙動不審になりながら女性ばかりのチームに参加するシュールなイルカ体験となりました。絶叫がうるさく、チームの参加者に不快な思いをさせてしまったと恐縮しています。うちの子は5歳くらいにならないと楽しい参加は厳しいかもしれません。他チームで同年齢くらいの欧米のお子さんもだいぶ泣き叫んでおりました。同年代の親御さんはご配慮くださいませ。
DVDと写真を買えますが、先の通り、苦笑いでイルカとキスをする父親の写真だけが並んでおり、DVDもプレビューできないので(プレビューできたにしてもどうせ絶叫映像なので)購入しませんでした。
撮影について、体験参加者は着替えてロッカーに荷物を入れてしまい、プール内はカメラはおろかメガネや結婚指輪すら外させられますので写真も動画も撮れません。ウェアラブルなGoProなんかも完全にNGです。ロッカーを使わずバッグを持ってプールへ移動でき、プール前の待機ベンチにすべて置いておけます。待機ベンチは参加者しか入れないので安全性は高い上、プールに入る直前まで写真を撮ったりできます。体験中はイルカのためを思うと撮影者は遠くに離れていて当然ですので、ひとりは見学者として参加して、ベンチからズームレンズで撮影するスタイルが今回のようなリスクも踏まえパフォーマンスが良いと思います。そもそもそういった想定の見学者価格設定なのかなと参加してみてから感じた次第です。
<今回の教訓>
・大きな生き物への恐怖を払拭しておく
・体調のスケジュール管理
・無理に予約せず下見して参加が良い

It was my first time, but I chose the most expensive course. I was amazed that I could see everything from Diamond Head to the west, and it felt like I could see Japan. They also took photos for a low price and gave them to me on an SD card. This has definitely become an activity I want to do again next time.
初めてでしたが、1番高いコースを選びました。ダイアモンドヘッドから西まで全てが見れて日本が見えるんじゃないかと感動しました。写真も安く撮ってくれてSDカードでもらいました。次回も絶対やりたいアクティビティになりました。

The first time was in mid-June last year, and the venue was fully booked, so we had to wait in line to get in. Our seats were standard and located at the back. This time, since it was January 3rd, I was prepared for even more crowds than last year, but it was quite empty. I booked good seats, so we were able to see the show right in front of us, and my daughter danced on stage, creating wonderful memories. I was very satisfied.
1度目は昨年6月中旬で満席状態で会場入りも結構並びました。席もスタンダードだったので後ろでした。今回は1月3日ということもあり昨年以上に混雑を覚悟して来ましたが、空き空きで席もいい席を申し込んだので、目の前でショーを見ることができ娘もステージで踊っていい思い出になり大変満足しました

We were blessed with good weather, and we were able to enjoy the stunning views. My 9-year-old daughter was scared at first, but in the end, we were able to create the best memories with smiles.
天候に恵まれたのもありますが、絶景を楽しむ事ができました。9歳の娘も怖がっていましたが最後は笑顔で最高の思い出を作る事ができました。

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, but this was also amazing. The movie course, the jeep course, and the flower-viewing course were all great. Next, I want to challenge myself with horseback riding.
Hawaiiといえば海ですが、こちらも最高でしたよ。映画コース、ジープコース、お花をみるコースどれも良かったです。
次は乗馬にチャレンジしたいです。

For my first parasailing experience, I chose to go up to 150 meters to reach the highest point. Perhaps because we were over the ocean, it surprisingly didn’t feel very high, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the staff made an effort to communicate in broken Japanese, which was nice. The atmosphere on the boat was very fun. I would love to try it again if I get the chance.
初めてのパラセーリング、どうせなら一番高くまで上がろうと、150メートルを選択しました。
海の上だからか、意外と高度感は無く、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの美しい景色を楽しめました。
参加者中、日本人は私達だけでしたが、スタッフが片言の日本語で気を使ってくれます 笑
船上はとても楽しい雰囲気でした。また機会があればやってみたいです。
