I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.

母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。

It was more fun than I imagined!! Since it was my first time, I was a bit nervous at first, but the horses were gentle, the scenery was beautiful, and it was amazing. I want to participate again when I go to Hawaii next time.

想像以上に楽しいでした‼︎
初めてだったので最初はドキドキでしたが、馬もおとなしいし、景色も綺麗だし、最高でした。
またハワイに行った時はまた参加したいです。

I participated in a private lesson during my free time. I had a scary impression of surfing, but since the water was shallow, I didn't have to worry about falling into the sea, and I was able to stand up on my first try. The staff were all wonderful people, and the time spent floating in the sea together felt like being in a movie. Although the water is shallow, there are many rocks, so you need to be careful of cuts depending on where you fall. However, including the photos I bought at the end, it was an experience that made me want to do it again.

1人の自由時間にプライベートレッスンで参加。
サーフィンに対して怖い印象がありましたが、遠浅で海に落ちる恐怖もなく、初めてでも1度目で立てました。
スタッフの方々も素敵な人ばかりで、一緒に海に浮かんで休憩している時間は映画の中にいるようでした。
遠浅ですが岩が多いので、海に落ちる場所によっては切り傷に注意が必要です。
でも、最後に買った写真も含めて、また是非やりたいと思える体験でした。

You can have a rare experience of interacting directly with dolphins. At first, I wasn't particularly interested, but I participated because my wife wanted to join. Honestly, I felt the price was high, but the experience was worth it. I was able to kiss, touch, and swim with the dolphins. The pool was located a bit away from the facility. Participants are not allowed to take photos, but spectators (for a fee) can take pictures. Since the shooting will be from a bit of a distance, I think a DSLR with a telephoto lens is necessary. By the way, the Royal Dolphin Swim takes place in the pool where the dolphin show is held, and I thought I would try that next.

イルカと直接触れ合える貴重な体験ができます。
最初は特に興味が無く、妻が一緒に参加したいということで参加しました。
正直、料金は高いと感じていましたが、十分に納得できる内容でした。
イルカとキス、触る、泳ぐことができました。
プールは施設から少し離れたところでした。
参加者による撮影はできませんが、見学者（料金必要）による撮影は可能です。
少し遠い場所からの撮影となるので、望遠レンズを付けた一眼レフが必要かと思います。
ちなみに、ロイヤルドルフィンスイムは施設内のイルカショーをするプールで行われており、次はこちらを体験しようと思いました。

My sister and I had a blast during this, our first, parasailing adventure. For anyone concerned about any jerking movements during take-off or landing, put your fears to rest. The ride was completely smooth and the view is breathtaking! One more thing crossed off our bucket list.

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I signed up for the Haleiwa sightseeing and Dole Plantation tour. The guide was very friendly, making the tour enjoyable. For lunch, the guide took us to eat the recommended shrimp, which was incredibly delicious and had no unpleasant smell at all! It was truly tasty. At the Dole Plantation, the scenery while riding the pineapple train was fantastic. The ice cream was also delicious. The weather was great, making it a perfect day. Thank you very much.

はじめてのハワイでしたので、ハレイワ観光＆ドールプランを申込みしました。
ガイドさんが気さくな方でしたので、楽しい観光となりました。
ランチではガイドさんオススのメエビを食べに連れていってもらいましたが、これがまたとても美味しく臭みもなし！！本当に美味しかったです。ドールプランテーションではパイナップル列車に揺られながら見る景色は最高でしたよ。アイスも美味しかった。また天気もよく最高の1日でした。ありがとうございました。

MAXX
My husband and I were so pleased
What a Wondrful young lady so nice and very informative
Made are ride on the beach so relaxing very lovely
THE BEST
THANKS AGAIN
JERI LYN & Dean Castillo

I requested the most expensive one! It felt really good ^ ^ The staff member was very nice, and when I happily asked to be dropped into the sea at the end, they did it twice as a bonus! I would like to use this service again and recommend it to my friends.

1番高いのをリクエストしました！
本当に気持ち良かったです^ ^
係員の方もとても良い人でしたし、
最後に海に落としてくれるのも、大喜びしたらもう2回サービスしてくれました！
また利用するか友達に勧めたいと思います。

I had a pleasant horseback riding experience surrounded by a variety of beautiful scenery, including along the coast, in the bushes, and around the pond. My parents, who are in their 60s, were initially a bit nervous but ended up having a great time. It's a given that the horse will poop or stop to graze along the way. Our guide, Katie, was very kind, and the horses were gentle and well cared for. I highly recommend it!

海岸沿いやブッシュの中、池の周りなどバラエティに富んだ景色の中で気持ちよく乗馬を体験できました。最初はおっかなびっくりだった60代の両親も大変楽しんでいました。途中で馬がフンをしたり道草を食ったりするのはお約束。案内してくれたケイティはとても親切でしたし、馬も穏やかでよく世話されていました。オススメです！

Had a great time very few folks on the trip. Crew was great they knew where to go to get on the turtles. Chris was busy looking for other things to show us so got to see a lot more than just the turtles. Nice thing about the morning trip is that we got there before a lot of other folks so there were plenty of turtles on the reef.

I chose the 90m option. I was a bit anxious since I have a slight fear of heights, but I had so much fun! I didn't feel much fear of the height, and even though I was just strapped in with a simple belt and thought, "Is this really okay?" I felt stable and enjoyed the view from above the sea, with plenty of time to take lots of photos! The promised splash into the sea at just the right moment really boosted my excitement!

When I made the reservation, it said that the 90m flight lasts about 5 minutes, but it felt like we flew for much longer.

The photos were $30 for the data on an SD card, but I could check to make sure they turned out well before purchasing, which was reassuring. They took a lot of pictures and included the surrounding scenery, so even though it was a bit pricey, I thought it was worth it for the memories!

The tour lasted about 2 hours, so there was plenty of time to do other activities afterward, making it perfect for those who want to stay active!

I had a great time, so I highly recommend it!

高さ90mを選びました。
若干、高所恐怖症なのでたのしめるか不安でしたが、、、とっても楽しめました♪
高さの恐怖もそんなに感じず、簡単なベルトに縛られただけで、内心、大丈夫？って思ったけど、安定感があり、海上からの景色を楽しめ、沢山写真を撮る余裕もありました！
お約束の海ポチャも、絶妙なタイミングで更にテンションが上がりました！

予約の時に90mは5分位飛んでると書いてありましたが、もっと長く飛んでいた感じがしました。

写真は、データをSDカードに入れて30ドルでしたが、ちゃんと撮れているか確認してから購入出来るし安心です。
沢山撮ってくれたし、周りの景色も入れてくれたので、ちょっと高いけど思い出にと思ったら、買って損はないと思いました！

ツアー時間も2時間程度なので戻ってからでも充分行動出来るし、アクティブに動きたい人にもぴったりやと思います！

とっても楽しかったので、オススメです♪

We enjoyed this hike very much. The shuttle pick up from our hotel was great, as we did not have a rental car. The driver was kind and helpful, even though we did have trouble understanding him at times. He was on time for pick up at our hotel and on time for pick up after the hike. We would recommend this tour!

I went with low expectations, thinking that hula dancing was about all there was to Hawaii. I was mistaken... The authentic hula was something else entirely. The women's performances were, of course, great. Even more impressive was the men's hula, which was full of energy!! The fire performances were particularly breathtaking. I can't express it well in words!! If you have the chance, you definitely should go.

The seating was standard, but there were no issues seeing the show. The food was a buffet, so it was just okay. However, I highly recommend this show!!

あまり期待もせず、ハワイと言えばフラダンスぐらいの気持ちで出かけました。
甘かった･･･｡本場のフラは一味違いましたよ。女性は、もちろん良かったです。それにも増して、男性のフラは迫力満点でした!!特に火を使ったものは圧巻です。口ではうまく言い現せない!!機会があれば、是非行くべきです。
席はスタンダードでしたが、なんの問題も無く見られました。料理はビュッフェだったので、まぁそれなりです。
でも、このショーはオススメします!!

This was my third time in Hawaii, but I hadn't been able to go to the Bishop Museum's hula lesson due to scheduling conflicts, so I finally participated for the first time! A famous teacher is currently giving lessons in Japan, so his daughter stepped in as a substitute, and it was a lot of fun. It was a moment where I could truly clear my mind after a long time. There were also plenty of other activities like a Japanese-language tour and lei-making. The staff in charge of Japanese were all wonderful, and I had a great time. However, the location of the bus stop to Waikiki is quite difficult to find, so be careful. Even though I received a map, I made mistakes twice. Make sure to find School Street and take Route 2!

ハワイは3回目だけど、なかなか日程が合わず行けなかったビショップミュージアムのフラレッスンに初参加！有名な先生がいま日本でレッスン中ということで娘さんがピンチヒッターで教えてくださったけど、楽しかった。ひさびさに無心になれたひと時でした。そのほかにも日本語の館内ツアー、レイ作りなど盛りだくさん。日本語担当のかたもみんな素敵で、非常に楽しかったです。ただし、ワイキキへのバス停の位置はかなりわかりにくいので注意。地図をもらったのに2回も間違えました。スクールストリートをうまく見つけて、2番ルートに乗ってください！

Just thinking that my 82-year-old mother joined this optional tour simply because she loves horses still gives me butterflies. It was truly a canyon horseback riding plan, just as described. We skillfully navigated narrow paths that barely fit the width of the horses. It's an experience I still can't believe. I wonder how we managed to return safely after walking through such a canyon with a beginner like me. We lined up for a full hour, walking slowly, but there were slopes, narrow paths, and curves, and it seemed my mother was scared until the end. She was desperately talking to the horse to keep it moving. Although they never acted up, being natural creatures, they sometimes stopped to eat grass by the side or just halted, which left us unsure of what to do. However, the horses were truly smart and safely carried us on their backs for an hour. I don't think I'll ever have an experience like this again. I highly recommend it to young people.

馬が好きだと言うことだけで82歳の母をこのオプショナルツアーに参加させたと思うと今でもドキドキします。まさに言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン。馬の幅も無いような狭い道を上手進みます。今でも信じられない経験です。こんな初心者を乗せてあんな渓谷を歩いてよく無事に帰ってこれたなと思います。1時間たっぷり1列に並んで、ゆっくりゆっくり歩きますが、坂道があったり細い道があったり、カーブがあったり、最後まで母は怖かったみたいです。一生けん命馬に声をかけて乗せてもらっていました。暴れたりすることは決してないのですが、やはり自然の生き物なので、わきの草を食べたり、止まってしまったりするとどうしていいかわからなくなりました。でも本当にお利口な馬たちで、無事に1時間私たちを背中に乗せて歩いてくれました。こんな経験はもうできないと思います。若い人にお勧めです。

I signed up because I wanted to go horseback riding. There are a total of 9 participants, including the two of us. Before heading to the North Shore, we passed by the high school that Obama attended, and along the way, we were able to hear some stories that are not often shared. Our guide, Nakama, was constantly talking and was very considerate, showing that he was well-informed about history and current events in Hawaii. The horseback riding itself felt like quite a challenging course, but since an 80-year-old grandmother was able to ride, I managed to get through it safely (although I almost fell off while waiting...). I was at the front, riding behind what seemed to be the owner, a funky grandmother who was probably over 70 with long braids. She explained everything in English, but I could only understand simple words, so it would have been very educational if I had been better at English. The content of this tour was more than sufficient. More than that, meeting wonderful people like Nakama became my most cherished memory. Thank you very much.

乗馬がしたくて申込しました。私達2人含め合計9名での参加です。まずはノースショアに向かう前にオバマさんの通った高校を通ったりしながら、道中はなかなか聞けないお話をうかがえました。担当のナカマさんはずーっとしゃべりっぱなしで大変気遣いもあり、歴史やハワイの旬な情報をぬかりなくチェックしているのがわかりました。肝心の乗馬はなかなかキツイコースに感じましたが、80歳のおばあさんも乗れていたので、なんとか無事にこなせました。（待機中落馬しかけましたが・・）私が先頭で、ロング三つ編みのファンキーな70は過ぎているだろう、おばあさんのオーナーらしき人のあとにくっつき乗馬していたのですが、英語でひとつひとつ説明をしてくれているのですが、わたしには簡単な単語しかわからず、英語ができれいれば大変勉強になったはずです。このツアーの中身は充分です。それよりも、ナカマさんのような素晴らしい人たちに出会えたことが一番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

The boat rocked, but since I took motion sickness medication beforehand, it was actually enjoyable. The staff was cheerful and fun, and before I knew it, we were flying—laughs.

I think the flight lasted about 10-15 minutes, but during that time, I was just filled with excitement. Everything else became unimportant—laughs.

There was only one other group besides me, so we didn't spend too long on the boat, but I think the more groups there are, the longer you'll be on the boat, so that's a matter of luck.

Also, I bought photos at the end, but when I looked at them after returning to Japan, there were about 30 pictures of someone completely different, which was disappointing. Even though it was on a CD-R, I should have checked during my stay.

For those who will experience this in the future, don't forget to check the photos!

船は揺れましたが、事前に酔い止めを飲んだのでむしろ楽しめる程度の揺れでした。
スタッフも陽気で楽しかったし、何より飛ぶまでの手際が良く気づいたら飛んでました笑

飛ぶ時間は10-15分程度だったと思いますが、飛んでいる間はただただ興奮しっぱなし。
全てがどうでもよくなります笑

私の他に1組だけだったのでそれほど長くは船の上にいませんでしたが、組数が多くなるほど船上での時間がおおくなるのでそこは運かなと思いました。

あと、最後に写真を購入したのですが日本に帰ってから見たら全く別人の写真が30枚ほど入っていてガッカリ。
CD-Rだったとはいえ、滞在中に確認しとくべきでした。

これから体験する方は、写真の確認も忘れずに！！

The guys who did our trip were excellent they treated me with such care. I injured myself before the trip and they were excellent at getting me on and off the boat.

Since our reservation was at 8:00 in the morning, it turned out that we were the only three people there. We requested 150 meters, and it felt really nice to enjoy the refreshing morning air. Next time, I would like to request the longest option of 180 meters.

朝、8:00からの予約だったせいかなんと、私たち3人だけでした。150メートルをお願いしたんですが、朝の爽やかな空気を満喫して本当に気持ち良かったです。今度は一番長い180メートルでお願いしたいです。

I participated in parasailing for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. I was scared before actually doing it, but once I tried it, it wasn't as scary as I thought. In fact, it was calm up in the air, and it felt great.

初めてパラセイリングに参加しましたが
とても楽しかったです。
実際にやる前までは怖かったのですが、
実際にやってみると思ったほど怖く無かったです。
むしろ上空では穏やかで、気持ちがよかったです。

Before heading to the North Shore, we stopped by places like the Dole Plantation, enjoyed garlic shrimp, and saw turtles. The final activity was horseback riding, which was packed with fun. The horseback riding along the beach was the highlight of this trip for me. It was such a relaxing experience, and I think even beginners can participate with confidence. I would love to join again when I come to Hawaii!

ノースショアに行くまでにドールプランテーションなど立ち寄ってガーリックシュリンプも食べれてカメも見れて最後は乗馬と盛りだくさんのプランでした。
特に最後の乗馬は今回の旅行で一番楽しかったです。海辺をゆっくりと乗馬しながらの時間はとても心地いい時間で、初心者でも安心して参加できると思いました。
ハワイに来たらまた参加したいと思います！

What can I say other than it was amazing. Completely astounding and phenomenal views of Waikiki. This is a must do for anyone. Not scarry at all if you think it will be. Had a blast!

A few days ago, due to the impact of the hurricane, I was unsure if the luau would take place, but it was eventually confirmed. I went in a good mood, but it started to rain... I ended up eating dinner under a towel provided by the hotel. This kind of experience is something you can't have in Japan, and the food was quite delicious, so it was fun in its own way. However, the seating was not what you would expect from something called "premier." While we were close to the stage, we ended up in a spot with steps that obstructed the view, which was disappointing since I was really looking forward to the hula. I thought sitting further back in the center would have been better.

My biggest complaint, though, is about the photos! I mentioned that I had my eyes closed, but they assured me it was fine. I felt suspicious but went along with it, only to find that the final product was indeed a photo with my eyes closed. It was a keepsake, and since we were in it, I ended up buying it, but it was terrible! This was the only chance I had to see this luau, so I reluctantly purchased it, but it felt like a rip-off. I probably won't go again!

数日前のハリケーンの影響なのか、知人情報によると催行されるのかどうなのかと朝から検討中だったルアウ。結局なんとか催行される事になった。ごきげんで行ったが途中から雨が・・・。雨の中でホテルが提供してくれたバスタオルをかぶりディナーを食べていた。こんな経験は日本ではできないので、料理もなかなか美味しいしこれはこれで楽しかった。ただ、席についてはプレミアと名乗るようなものではなく、舞台の近くではあるのだが、私たちは運が悪いのかステップのあるところで邪魔になってしまい、フラをとても楽しみにしていたのに残念だった。これなら正面の後ろのほうがまだましなのではと思った。あと最大の不満は写真！目をつぶってしまったと言ったのに確認してくれて大丈夫と言われ、不審に思って引き下がったが、できあがったのはやはり目をつぶったものだった。記念だし、自分たちが写っているから買っちゃったけど、とにかくあれはひどい！今回はこのルアウしか見るチャンスが無かったから仕方なく買ったけどあれはぼったくりとしか言いようが無い。たぶんこれにはもう行かない！

an exceptional show great seating lovely food everyone enjoyed highly recommend

Since there are few mentions about the bus, let me add some information.
Please take the number 55 bus from Ala Moana Center. It runs about once an hour. If you get off at Kualoa Ranch, you'll be right in front of the ranch.
If you're unsure, you can tell the driver when you get on, and they will stop for you.
The bus takes about an hour and a half, and sometimes the air conditioning can be too strong, so it's good to have something to wear.
Horseback riding is wonderful, to the point where the theme song of Jurassic Park comes to mind as a hum.
My wife found it a bit painful on her backside, though...
The 11:45 AM ride finishes, and while preparing to leave, it becomes past 2 PM.
It seems that lunch sets are available until 2 PM, but if you go even a little past that, you can only order hamburgers... I understand the staff is busy, but I wish they could be a bit more flexible.
The burgers are delicious, but one set is a bit too much for women.
For a couple, two burgers are filling enough to keep you satisfied until a light dinner.
To catch the return bus, walk to the covered bus stop and go right from the road in front.

バスについて書かれてる方が少ないので、補足しますね。
アラモアナセンターから55番のバスに乗ってください。一時間に一本くらいのペースで出てます。クアロアランチで降りれば牧場前です。
不安なら乗るときに運転手さんに伝えると停めてくれました。
バスは一時間半くらいかかって車内はクーラーきき過ぎのことがあるので羽織れるものあったがいいですよ。
乗馬は自然にジェラシックパークのテーマ曲が鼻歌で出るほどすばらしいです。
奥さんはお尻が痛くなってましたが。。
11時45分からの分は終わっていろいろ帰る準備していると２時を過ぎます。
食事は2時まではランチセットがある模様ですが、少しでも過ぎるとハンバーガーしか頼めなくなります。。。おばちゃん忙しいのはわかるけどもう少し融通利かせて欲しいものです。
バーガーはおいしいですが、女性にワンセットは少し多いですね。
夫婦で二個、満腹で夜は軽くてすむぐらい腹持ちします。
帰るバスは屋根のあるバス停で正面の道から歩いていって右へ。

I had gone parasailing in Saipan several times, but this was my first time in Hawaii. In Hawaii, you can choose the height, fly with multiple people (in Saipan, it's about 45 meters for one person), request photos, and even get a nice splash in the ocean at the end—it was truly amazing! I considered other companies, but I made the right choice by opting for the one that offered photos (since my digital camera takes grainy and blurry shots, I left it to the professionals with a DSLR★), the location was very convenient (right in front of the Hilton★), and the captain's skills were excellent (you can choose to get your feet, half-body, or full-body splashed). I highly recommend it!!! By the way, after much deliberation about the height, I ultimately chose 90 meters★ (I thought it would be disappointing if the photos were too far away, and even considering the $30 for photos and tips, it was within a reasonable price range). Also, I never get motion sickness, but whenever I get on a small boat, I always take motion sickness medication, no matter how short the trip is (based on my diving experience).

パラセイルはサイパンでも何度かやっていましたが、ハワイは今回初めてでした。　ハワイはなんといっても、高さが選べて×複数で飛行でき（サイパンは45ｍくらい×１人乗り）、写真も頼め、最後に海にポチャっとつけてもらえるなど、至れり尽くせりで感動しました！　他社とも迷いましたが、写真を頼めて（デジカメは豆粒＆ブレるので一眼レフにお任せして正解★）、場所がとても近くて（ヒルトンの目の前の海★）、キャプテンの腕も絶妙（足ポチャ・半身ポチャ・全身ポチャ選べます）、とてもオススメです！！！　ちなみに私は高さを迷いに迷った挙げ句、結局90メートルにしました★（写真が遠すぎたら残念な気がした＆写真の30ドルとチップを見越しても手の届く金額なので）　あと、私はのりもの酔いは全くしませんが、小さな船に乗るときは、どんなに短時間でも必ず酔い止めを飲んでいます（ダイビングでの経験上）

Experience the thrill of the sea and sky with a thrilling parasailing adventure! Parasailing by Extreme Parasail at a height of 150 meters was unexpectedly fun, and the duration was great.

空中散歩で海と空をスリリングに体感！パラセイリング by エキストリームパラセイル ＝１５０メートルの高さはなかなか予想外で楽しく、時間が長くよかったです。

Wow, breathtaking views! Was nervous at first but needed not be. It was not scary at all and well worth it. A must do for all.

I experienced parasailing at a height of 90 meters! The wind was very strong that day, and it was thrilling enough to make me think I might fall, but it was so much fun! However, my partner is afraid of heights, so they were really scared! Even I, who usually isn't that bothered, was quite nervous at 90 meters! I thought the staff would only speak English, but they occasionally spoke Japanese too (including some Japanese jokes, haha). They were very friendly, and I was really satisfied! They also offered tips and photo sales, so it might be a good idea to bring some money! (By the way, I came empty-handed that day.) After the rain, there seemed to be a rainbow behind us, and I hesitated to buy a photo, but I decided against it because of the backlight (laughs). There might be opportunities to capture photos with rainbows, so I definitely recommend it! I requested a shuttle, but there is a boat right near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so if you're staying nearby, you can easily walk back.

高さ90mのパラセーリングを体験しました！この日風がとても強く、落ちるんじゃないかと思ったくらいスリルがありましたがとても楽しかったです！ただ相方は高所恐怖症のため、もうビビりまくり！普段それほどでもない私でも90mの高さにはさすがにビビりました！スタッフの方も英語オンリーだと思っていたのですが、ちょいちょい日本語を話してくれるので、(日本のギャグも。笑)とてもフレンドリーな方達でとても満足しました！チップと写真の販売なんかもしていたので、ある程度、
お金は持っていった方が良いかもしれないです！(ちなみに私はこの日手ぶらで来ちゃいました。)雨が降ったあと背後に虹が出ていたみたいで、写真を買おうか迷いましたが、逆光なのでやめました（笑）もしかしたら、そういった虹が出ている写真も撮れるかもしれないので、ぜひオススメです！送迎を頼んだのですが、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジからすぐの所に船があるので、近くにお泊まりの方は徒歩でも十分帰れます。
