I really wanna try it again........
The staff are very nice.......

I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.

ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ！子供達も喜びますし！時間もそんなにかからないので。

We decided to go to Sea Life Park because my 6-year-old daughter expressed her wish to meet dolphins. Since it was a special opportunity, we participated with 10 family members.

It was unfortunate that my daughter was not old enough to join the program to swim with the dolphins, but she was really happy to interact with them. We purchased all three photos of her, and they are displayed at home. She happily says, "I got to shake hands with the dolphin and even gave it a kiss!" Both children and adults had a wonderful time, and we were very satisfied.

However, there was one point of concern.

I had read on the website that DVDs could also be purchased, so I planned to buy one. But when we went to the photo area, we were told that there were no DVDs available. Was a reservation required for the DVD in advance? I received explanations in Japanese on-site, and while they mentioned the photos, there was no explanation about the DVDs. Therefore, I assumed it was similar to the photos, where those who wanted them could purchase them. Since the DVD was something my child was looking forward to the most on this trip, it was disappointing that we couldn't buy it.

6歳の娘の「イルカに会いたい」との希望で、シーライフパークに行くことに。
せっかくの機会だからと、親族10名で参加しました。

イルカと一緒に泳ぐプログラムは、まだ年齢が満たなかったのが残念でしたが、
娘はイルカと触れ合えたことが本当に嬉しかったようです。
写真も娘のものは、3カット全て購入し、家で飾っています。
「イルカさんと握手♪チュもできたの～」といいながら嬉しそうに見ています。
子供も大人も、とっても素敵な時間を過ごすことができて、大満足でした。

ですが、気になった点が1つほど。

こちらのサイトで、DVDも購入できるように書いてあったので、それも購入予定
でいたのですが、写真のところに行ってみると、DVDはないとの返事でした。
DVDは先に予約などが必要だったのでしょうか？
現地で日本語で説明を受けたのですが、写真のことは言っておられましたが、
DVDのことは何も説明はありませんでした。そのため、写真と同じように、
撮られており、ほしい人が購入するのだと思っていました。
子供が今回の旅行で一番楽しみにしていたものだっただけに、DVDが購入でき
なかったのは残念でした。

It was the best optional tour I've ever been on! The boat was quite rocky, but I had no issues thanks to taking motion sickness medication the day before and on the day of the tour. It was such an exciting time that I even shouted with my snorkel in my mouth!

今までのどのオプショナルツアーよりも最高でした！船はとても揺れますが、前日の酔い止め＋当日の酔い止め服用で問題なしでした。シュノーケルを噛んだまま声を出してしまうくらいエキサイティングな時間でした！

I participated in the garden tour at the Bishop Museum. I took the city bus, which took about 45 minutes, and arrived before the opening. The gate was open, so I relaxed in the garden and took some photos. The garden tour with a Japanese guide started at 9:15.

I learned about the names and origins of the plants, heard Hawaiian folklore, and had the unique experience of cracking kukui nuts and touching them, which I couldn't have done without the guide. The bracelet I made became my souvenir.

I highly recommend that after the garden tour, you don't leave right away but continue to spend time at the Bishop Museum. There are many hands-on exhibits where you can play and touch traditional Hawaiian instruments, making it a lot of fun for both kids and adults. The planetarium was also great.

ビショップミュージアムのガーデンツアーに参加してきました。
市バスに乗り、約45分。開園前に到着。ゲートは開いていたので、お庭でまったりして、写真を撮って。9時15分から日本語ガイドさんにて園内のガーデンツアー開始。
植物の名前や由来を聞いてハワイ昔話を聞いて、ククイナッツを割って実際に触るなど、ガイドさん無しでは出来ない体験をすることができました。作ったブレスレットは自分のお土産に。
ぜひ、オススメしたいのは、ガーデンツアーの後、すぐに帰らずに引き続き、ビショップミュージアムで過ごすこと。ハワイの伝統楽器の音を出したり、触ったり、体験型の展示が多いので、すごく楽しめます。子供も大人も。プラネタリウムも良かったです。

I forced my 7-year-old daughter to join, but she got seasick while waiting for our turn for parasailing. If you see that view, even those with a fear of heights won't have to worry about the height at all! It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick on the boat.

７歳の娘を無理やりに連れて参加しましたが、パラセイリングの順番を待っている間に船に酔ってしまいました。
高所恐怖症の方もあの景色を見れば、高さの怖さは全く心配することはないですよ！
船で酔わないよう、酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかな。

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and it was quite cold to enter the pool.
But I really got to touch the dolphins and even kiss and shake hands with them!
I felt like I became the dolphin show lady I dreamed of as a child!
With this cheaper plan, there are only two options for shaking hands and kissing, and you can't swim with the dolphins or have them push you while swimming.
However, there is plenty of time, and since it's a small group, I'm satisfied.
The instructor can speak some Japanese, although it's limited.
The park is small for spending a whole day here, so I think it's a good idea to combine this with other plans.

あいにく天候は雨で、プールに入るのはさすがに寒かったのです。
でも本当にイルカに触れてキスや握手ができました！
小さい頃の夢、イルカショーのお姉さんになれた気分です！
こちらの安価な方のプランでは握手とキスの二種類だけで、イルカと一緒に泳いだり、足を押してもらって泳ぐことはできません。
でも時間は十分ありますし、少人数で出来るので満足です。
インストラクターの方も片言ではありますが、日本語が通じます。
丸一日ここで過ごすには狭い園内ですので、他と合わせてプランを立てるのもいいと思います。

We participated as a couple with our sixth-grade son. First, we went to Moalua Garden, then to a coffee shop, and finally to Dole Plantation. We spent 30 minutes at Dole, which was enough time to eat soft serve ice cream and look at souvenirs. Next, we headed to a beach with turtles. There were only two swimming in the water, and they didn't come ashore.

We had a 60-minute meal time in Haleiwa Town. I had previously communicated my desire for Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp, and the guide took us to a restaurant, but it was disappointing that it wasn't Marukey's. I regretted not asking to go to Marukey's. Since it was before 11 a.m., we were able to buy the Huli Huli chicken quickly. The taste was just average.

For horseback riding, we walked in a line along a mountain path, but the scenery became monotonous halfway through, making the 90 minutes feel long. I was very disappointed that the photos taken by the local guide with my camera didn't turn out well. The horseback riding itself was fine for elementary school students, but I think the coastal course would have had better views.

The guide explained various things about Hawaii on the bus. While the information about history and current life was helpful, I honestly found the discussions about celebrities' private lives unnecessary and uninteresting.

夫婦と小学6年生の息子で参加しました。
最初にモアルナガーデン、次にコーヒー屋さん、ドールプランテーションへ。
ドールは３０分の滞在、ソフトクリームを食べてお土産を見るのには十分でした。
次に亀のいる浜辺へ。海の中に2匹泳いでいるだけで上陸はしていませんでした。
ハレイワタウンで６０分の食事時間。あらかじめ、フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプの希望を伝えるとガイドさんがお店に連れて行ってくれますが、マーキーズではないお店だったのが残念でした。マーキーズに行きたいと言えばよかったとちょっと後悔。フリフリチキンは時間が11時前だったせいかすぐに買えました。味はまあ普通です。
乗馬は、山道をずーっと隊列になって歩いて行きますが途中から景色が単調で９０分が長く感じられました。現地のガイドさんに頼んだカメラの写真がうまく撮れていなくて非常に残念。
乗馬自体は小学生でも大丈夫でしたが、海辺のコースの方が眺めが良くてよかったかなと思いました。
ガイドさんがバスの中で色々とハワイの事を説明してくれます。歴史や現在の生活については為になりましたが、芸能人の私生活の話はプライベートなことですし興味がないので正直余計な話だと思いました。

Faboulous! I would recommend for families as well. Very professional; told a beautiful story; and food was 5 star.

I booked the longest time to be in the air, but it was almost the same as those who booked for a shorter time. The person piloting the boat had something like a reservation card, but they didn't check it, and it felt quite casual. The parasailing itself was a lot of fun. Next time, I think I might try booking with another tour company after arriving in Hawaii.

一番長い間空中にいるものを予約しましたが、短い時間を予約した方とほとんど変わりませんでした。船を操縦している人が予約カードのようなものを持っていましたが、確認もしていなくてアバウトな感じでした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。今度はハワイに到着してから他のツアー会社で頼もうかな、と感じました。

Did a semi-private lesson with two friends which was perfect. Jordan man, so good, he was an amazing instructor, kind and supportive and super friendly, and he got us all up on our boards and surfing on our own within the first hour. The day was bright, waves were slow but incoming, and the view of Waikiki from the water was unforgettable! Thanks to Hans Hedemann Surf School and HawaiiActivities.com. Ah man, such a great way to spend the morning.

This is what we came to see in Hawaii. It did not disappoint. The audio head set is a must. It kept us on time. It was a stormy rainy day - all day which didn't really matter it was very somber.
My only regret was that I didn't bring my lae that I received at the airport. You can throw flowers at the Arizona.

Couldn't have had a better first time experience. From the pick-up to drop-off...everything was excellent and very professional.

An amazing experience. Even though the water was extremely rough the day we went, it was still incredible. Our guides were the best too.

Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!

I was worried about the height, but choosing 150 meters was the right decision! The weather was clear, and the view was amazing!! My spouse and I had a great time (laughs). I was concerned because reviews mentioned that the pickup bus can be late, but it arrived on time, and the driver, although he didn't speak Japanese, was very nice. I definitely recommend 150 meters for those who are unsure. It became a wonderful memory!

高さを悩みましたが150メートルにして正解でした！
快晴だったため、とても気持ちよく景色が最高でした！！夫婦二人ではしゃぎました(笑)
迎えのバスが口コミでは遅れることがあると書かれていたので心配でしたが、時間通りでドライバーさんも日本語は通じませんがとてもいいかたでした。悩まれるかたは絶対に150メートルをおすすめします。とてもいい思い出になりました！

I experienced this with my 10-year-old child. The view was perfect, and we even got to play in the sea for a bit, which made my child very excited. I highly recommend it!

10歳の子供と体験しました。
眺めもバッチリで途中、海にもポッチャリさせてもらたりして子供もおおはしゃぎでした。
是非オススメです。

I participated with six friends, and the service was prompt. They were able to communicate in a bit of Japanese, and above all, the guide was handsome (laughs). If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again!

友人6人で参加しましたが、対応も迅速で多少の日本語で対応して頂けましたし、なんといってもガイドのお兄さんがハンサムでした(笑)
機会があればまた宜しくお願いします！

The weather was great, and the view was amazing! I got a little seasick, but while flying, it felt so good that I almost forgot about it!

お天気も良くて最高の景色でした‼︎
少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、飛んでると気持ち良くて忘れるくらいでした‼︎

I participated alone this time. Therefore, I ended up paragliding with two Japanese women who were also on the tour. As mentioned in the posted experiences, I referenced the note about wanting to try 150 meters next, and even though it was my first time paragliding, I decided to challenge myself with the 150 meters.

The moment the parasail lifted off from the boat was a bit scary, but after that, it was so much fun, and I was able to enjoy a fantastic view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky. At 150 meters, the flying time was quite long, and I was very satisfied. I was able to have a casual conversation with the women I flew with, which was nice, but for those who might feel a bit uneasy about flying with others, I recommend participating in groups of two to three.

私は、今回一人で参加しました。そのため、ツアーに参加されていた日本人女性の方２人と一緒にパラセイリングで飛ぶことになりました。
投稿されている体験談にもあったように、１５０mを次はトライしたいと書いてあったのを参考に、初めてのパラセイリングでしたが１５０mに挑戦しました。
最初の船からパラセイルがふわっと浮く瞬間はちょっと怖かったですが、そのあとは、とっても楽しく、また空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドが一望でき、とても素敵な体験ができました。１５０mだと飛んでる時間もかなり長く、大満足です。今回一緒に飛んでくださった女性の方とはフランクにいろいろお話できたので、よかったですが、他の方と飛ぶのはちょっと、、、、という方は、２名〜３名での参加をおすすめいたします。

The weather was great on the day, and we had a wonderful experience!

During our time there, we were the only Japanese participants, while the other four groups were all foreigners. We didn't speak much English and felt a bit lost trying to keep up with the conversations between the local guide and the other participants, but the important thing was that the guide communicated in simple English and some Japanese, which made it enjoyable for us. In fact, the other four groups were couples, and we were a duo of two women, so we ended up interacting with them quite a bit... right? (laughs)

We signed up for the 130 meters height. However, I’m not sure what height the others signed up for or if we really did the 130 meters. It felt like we flew longer than expected, and it was fun. The view was truly spectacular!! Just be aware that even if you say you don’t want to get wet, they will pretend to drop you into the sea. It was fun in the end, though! (laughs)

As others mentioned, photos are taken for $30. We considered asking other participants to take our pictures, but we couldn't bring ourselves to do it with the foreigners. (laughs) Of course, some of the photos were blurry, but they took about 80 pictures and a few videos, so we were really satisfied! I think there might be some variation in the number of photos, but they burn the CD right there and hand it to you, so there's no waiting.

While preferences for height may vary, I’m really glad I got to go parasailing! I recommend it to anyone who is considering it!＼(^o^)／

当日は天候にも恵まれ、とてもいい経験ができました！

私たちが参加した時間は、日本人は私たちだけで他の4組はみんな外国の方でした。私たちはあまり英語ができず、現地ガイドさんと周りの参加者たちの会話についていけずぽかーんというかんじでしたが、大事なことはガイドさんが覚えた日本語や簡単な英語で楽しく伝えてくれたため問題ありませんでした。むしろ周り4組はカップルで私たちは女性2人組みだったので多く絡んでもらえたような・・・？笑

高さは130Ｍで申し込みました。が、他の方が何Ｍで申し込んだのか、私たちがほんとに130Ｍだったのかはわかりません。思っていたより長く飛んでいた気がして楽しかったです。本当に絶景です！！ただ、濡れたくないと言っても海に落とすふりしてぽちゃんとしてきます。結果楽しかったですが笑

写真は他の方たちも記載していたように30ドルで撮ってくれます。他の参加者に撮ってもらおうとも考えましたが外国の方たちには頼むことができませんでした。笑　もちろんピンボケしている写真もありますが、約80枚の写真と少しの動画も撮ってくれたので本当に満足です！写真の量には差があるとも思いますが・・・ＣＤその場で焼いて渡してくれるので待つこともありません。

高さは好みもあるかと思いますが、パラセイリングができたことは本当によかったです！
悩んでる人にはおすすめです＼(^o^)／

I can barely swim and I'm too scared to dive even with a snorkel, but my wife is a diver and wanted to do some ocean activities together, so I thought this might work out... and signed up.

The transportation and local arrangements were normal, without any particular issues. We took off our shoes and boarded the boat with about 20 people, of which only about six were Japanese. Along the way, we read a Japanese lecture file.

The sea at the North Shore was somewhat rough, and the boat rocked quite a bit. The Japanese student group that was with us was almost seasick. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to skip this. Even after we got into the cage, the waves were rough and it was tough.

I later heard that the North Shore is calm only around July to August. We were able to see sharks up close, so it's a good activity for those who like that, but personally, it was extremely challenging for me... I was overestimating my abilities. My wife was very happy, though.

私はほぼ泳げず、シュノーケルでも怖くて潜れませんが
嫁はダイバーなのですが、何か一緒に海のアクティビティをやりたいとの事で
これだったら何とかなるか。。。と申し込みました。

送迎や現地での対応は、特に問題はなく普通です。
裸足になって船に乗り込み、20人ほどで沖へ行くんですが日本人は6名ほど。
途中で日本語のレクチャーファイルを読みます。

ノースショアの海はそこそこ時化ており、かなり船が揺れました。
一緒に行ってた日本の学生グループもほぼグロッキーに。
船酔いに弱い人はやめとく方がいいです。
順番が来て檻に入ってからも、波は荒れて苦しいです。

後で聞いたのですが、ノースショアは7～8月くらいだけらしいです、おとなしいのは。
ちゃんと鮫は間近で見えたので、好きな人にはいいアクティビティですが
個人的には非常にきつかったです。。。身の程知らずでしたね。
嫁はたいそうよろこんでおりました。

The people were friendly, the views were great. Since we are experienced riders it would've been nice to do more than a walk but we were aware it was only walk. For the cost we probably wouldn't pick this type of ride again.

I was nervous before riding the horse, but the smart horses gave me a wonderful time. They worked hard to climb steep hills and skillfully avoided muddy areas, making the 90 minutes fly by without any scary moments. The guide also made great use of our time, showing us various places and preparing meals, which made us very happy. My family and I are talking about wanting to participate again!

馬に乗る前は緊張していましたが、賢い馬たちに、楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
かなり急な坂を頑張って登ってくれたり、ぬかるみを上手に避けて歩いてくれて、怖い思いをすることなくあっという間の９０分でした。
ガイドの方も時間をうまく使って、色々なところに案内してくれたり、食事の準備を下さって大変うれしかったです。また参加したいね～と家族みんなで話しています。

Omg... This was such an Amazing activity. Alberto was so awesome as our driver. We had the best time with him. He made it soooo much FUN!! The entire staff here was very friendly and went over and aboard for us!! These are a must do activities!! Great great experience!!

I think it’s inconvenient because there’s no pickup service and you have to meet on-site, so you need a rental car to get there. Horseback riding along the nearby beach felt monotonous since the course was the same going and coming back. The time was shorter than I expected. The horseback riding at Kualoa had better scenery. If the weather is good, it might offset some of that.

ピックアップが無く現地集合の為レンタカーでないと行けない場所の為不便だと思う。近くのビーチ沿いを乗馬。コースが行き帰りが同じで単調に感じた。時間が思ったより短かった。クアロアの乗馬の方が景色は良かった。天気が良ければある程度相殺されるかもしれない。

Rain excluded all views. Otherwise nice hike. Driver courteous and informative

カタマランはワイキキビーチから出航するため、アクセスがとても便利。
ポイントで停まり、海に入るとすぐ目の前に海亀と魚たちが泳ぎ廻っていました。
シュノーケリングを充分堪能し、ボートに戻ると、水とサンドイッチのサービス。
その後、ワイキキビーチ沖をクルージング。
目の見張るような海の蒼さに大感動。この値段以上の価値のあるツアーでした。
参加する際、泳ぎが苦手な方はライフジャケットを準備する必要があります。備え付けはヌードルだけでした。また、クルージングの際、風を切って走行するのでジャケット持参がお勧めです。

Such an awesome experience! Would definitely do it again!!

I had been hesitant because the price was high, but I'm glad I went for it. I was really healed by the service-oriented dolphin and the beautiful staff. The moment of interaction is brief, but I will never forget the unique texture of that dolphin's skin. As someone who gets nervous, I couldn't quite get the timing for the kiss right, but they let me try again, and the photos (for a fee) turned out beautifully. There was a lot of debris (possibly waste?) floating in the pool, so I tried not to think about it too much. It was chilly when my body got wet under the cloudy sky.

値段が高いのでずっと迷っていたが思い切って行ってよかったです。
サービス精神旺盛なイルカちゃんとキレイなお姉さんにとても癒されました。
触れ合えるのは一瞬ですがあのイルカ独特の肌触りは一生忘れません。
ビビりな私はキスのタイミングがうまく合わなかったけどやり直しさせてくれて写真（有料）も綺麗に撮れていました。プールはゴミ（排泄物？）がたくさん浮いていたのでなるべく気にしないようにしました。曇り空で体が濡れると寒かった。
