It was my first time paragliding, and it was so much fun. I booked for 90 meters, but there was another foreign family with us, and since it was the last time slot, I think we flew over 90 meters.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
90メートルで予約しましたが、私達ともう1組外人の家族、そして最終の時間帯であったため90メートル以上飛んでたと思います。

It was a trip with my daughter, and this was my first trip to Hawaii.

Since I don't know if I'll have another opportunity, I wanted to make sure I had no regrets, so I researched several "Hawaiian dance shows" and decided on this one.

The seats I chose were premium seats, which are naturally more expensive than general seating, but the location of the show and the dining arrangements were always prioritized, allowing me to gain satisfaction beyond the price.

The dance performances were enjoyable, with the professional dancers showcasing beautiful and refined techniques.

The host's skillful storytelling and ability to energize the atmosphere made the experience fun. The nearly three-hour show was entertaining and never boring.

On the way back, I had a memorable two-shot photo with a beautiful hula dancer. The premium seats are about 4,000 to 5,000 yen more than general seats, but considering the location and the privileged service, I highly recommend the premium seats.

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend the premium seats. Enjoy!

娘との旅行でしたが、今回が私にとって初のハワイ旅行です。

これから機会があるかどうかはわかりませんので、せいぜい悔いのないようにしたいと見たい「ハワイのダンスショー」もいくつか案内と内容を調べ、このショーに決めました。

選択したシートはプレミアシートで一般よりは当然高いのですが、
ショーを観劇する場所といい、食事の案内といい常に優先されて、
価格以上の満足感を得ることができました。

ショーのダンスも楽しく、プロの踊りはきれいで美しく
そして鍛えられた技を見せてくれます。

司会者の巧みな話術や盛り上げ方など楽しく場面を盛り上げてくれます。
３時間近くのショーは楽しく決して見あきることはありませんでした。

帰りにはきれいなフラ姿のお嬢さんとツーショット撮影も記念になりました。
プレミアシートの席は一般席より４~５千円ぐらい高いのでしょうが、
席の場所、優遇されたサービスを考えればお勧めのプレミアムシートです。

これから、感激されるならプレミアムシートをぜひお勧めします。
楽しんでください。

A few years ago, I experienced beach horseback riding and canyon horseback riding, and those enjoyable moments have stayed in my heart. I wanted to participate again to relive that excitement while I'm still energetic.

I was worried that the tour would be canceled since I had booked it for a weekend when a rare typhoon hit Oahu, but it ended safely despite the heavy rain. Eleven participants of various ages joined in, with the ocean waves crashing and rain pouring down.

It was a 45-minute ride while wearing the borrowed helmet and raincoat. My pants and shoes were soaked, and my makeup was washed away, making it an unforgettable experience. I appreciated the thoughtful care provided by the four women who took care of us.

数年前に海辺の乗馬、渓谷の乗馬を体験して楽しい経験がずっと心に残っていました。
もう一度、元気なうちにあのワクワク感を味わいたくて参加しました。
　めったに来ない台風がオアフ島を襲った週末日を予約していたので、きっとツアーが
キャンセルになるのではと心配しましたが、大雨の中、無事終了してよかったです。
海の波も荒々しく、吹き付ける雨の中、年齢もさまざまな11名が参加しました。
お借りしたヘルメット、合羽を着ての45分でした。ズボン、靴はずぶぬれ、お化粧も落ち
忘れられない体験になりました。
お世話をしてくださった女性達4名の細かい配慮がうれしかったです。

Parasailing with my friends and it was so much fun!!! I'm sure I ll do it again when I go to hawaii again!!!

It was my first time on a submarine, and I participated at the request of my grandson who is in his first year of university. There were many fish around the reef, and there were turtles as well. However, I was hoping to see more colorful fish. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take good photos underwater.

潜水艦は初めて、大学1年の孫の希望で参加しました、漁礁には沢山の魚がいました、亀もいました、ただ、もっとカラフルな魚が見えることを期待していました、海中での写真は上手に撮れなかった、残念。

I have experienced this for five consecutive years! The shuttle trolley adds to the excitement, and the refreshing feeling of easily viewing Waikiki Beach from the sky is the best!!

5年連続で体験しました！
送迎のトロリーも気分を盛り上げ、簡単に空からワイキキビーチを眺められる爽快感は最高ですよ!!

I went with three friends during summer vacation (around September)! We split into two groups! The view from above the ocean was amazing and it became a wonderful memory!!! I put my phone in a waterproof bag and took it up with me to capture the scenery from above (laughs). It’s also possible for the two people waiting to take pictures of us flying! You should definitely experience it at least once! It's the best!

大学の夏休み（9月ごろ）に友達と4人で行ってきました！
2人ずつに分かれて乗りました！
海の上からの景色は最高でとてもいい思い出になりました！！！
携帯を防水の袋に入れて上空に持って行き、上からの景色を撮影したりもできました（笑）待っている2人に飛んでいる姿を撮影してもらうことも可能です！
一度経験してほいたほうがいいです！最高です！

The entire family participated. The event was conducted entirely in English, and I thought that those who didn't understand English might not grasp the meaning very well. Still, we were able to have a reasonably enjoyable time. Since similar shows are held in various places, I think it would be good to compare them. If asked whether I would come here again, I think I would look for a different place. I thought the levels of Tahitian dance and hula dance were quite high. Regarding the seating, the premium option is good because it is close to the stage and allows you to go to the buffet first. Since the seats are not assigned, if you want a good spot, I recommend arriving a bit early to line up rather than just before the show starts. They offer body painting before the show, which was popular among children and women.

一族総出で参加しました。終始英語で司会進行され、英語が分からない人には意味がよくわからないのではないかと思いました。それでもそれなりに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。さまざまな場所で同じようなショーが行われているので、見比べてみるのも良いかと思います。次回ここに来るかと聞かれたら、私はまた違うところを探すと思います。タヒチアンダンス、フラダンスともにレベルは高いのでないかと思いました。シートについてはプレミアだと舞台近くであることと、ビュッフェを先に取に行ける点が良いですね。座席は指定席ではないので、良い位置でみたいのならば開始直前に行かれるのではなく、ちょっと早めに行って並ぶ方が良いと思います。
ショー開始前にボディーペイントを行っています。子供・女性に人気でした。

I chose the movie village tour and jeep drive. There were many stunning viewpoints, and the weather was great. The chicken steak for lunch was very delicious.

映画村ツアーとジープドライブを選択。絶景ポイントがたくさんあり、天気もよくて最高だった。お昼のチキンステーキがとてもおいしかった。

We are residents in Hawaii, actually we moved here from California about 5 years ago and while kids are off school on their fall break, I decided to take them out. I didn't realize there's actually a lot to do and see here, thanks to my cousin, Emily, who works for VELTRA that recommended me to do these things.

Kualoa Ranch is amazingly beautiful! We checked-in at 8:00am to do the Full Day Experience Pass and it was the perfect time as we were able to do four different activities. We did the Jungle Expedition and although it was a really bumpy ride (which is quite fun actually), the view of the Chinaman's hat island upon reaching the top after our small hike was breathtaking! We did the Ocean Voyaging which is nice also as we got to see the view of the windward side from a far, the Ranch & Movie Tour, and the Ancient Fishing Grounds & Tropical Gardens Tour. Buffet lunch was also included in the Value Pass and the menu items are so ono(delicous)! Overall, it was a really fun and exciting experience!

Fabulous! Great experience with great views of waikiki. . The guys were very personable. Definitely recommend

Fantastic time. Friendly crew. Great photos to take home with us

We used this for our honeymoon memories. We departed from Hilton Hawaiian Village and spent about two hours relaxing on the sea while enjoying the sunset. The time spent heading towards Diamond Head bathed in the sunset was particularly pleasant and enjoyable.

There were only my husband and I as the Japanese participants, but the crew was very considerate and kindly provided us with the onboard explanation in Japanese separately from the other participants.

Additionally, the boat was comfortable to ride on, and when it started to rain, we were able to take shelter under the roof, allowing us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Alcoholic drinks were free for up to two servings, and there was a wide variety available, along with potato chips and warm snacks.

The boat was larger compared to the number of participants, which allowed everyone to enjoy their own space. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

ハネムーンの思い出に利用しました。
ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ヴィレッジから出発し、サンセットを臨みながら2時間ほど海上でのんびり過ごしました。夕日を浴びるダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かう時間は、特に心地よく気持ちが良かったです。

参加者で日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、船員の方が気を利かせてくれ、他の参加者とは別に私たちだけに日本語で出発前の船内説明をして頂けて非常に親切でした。

また、船も乗り心地は快適で、途中雨が降ってきたときも屋根つきのためデッキからの非難ができ、最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
アルコール類も2杯までは無料で種類も豊富、ポテトチップスやあたたかい小料理もありました。

参加人数に比べ大き目の船でしたので、それぞれが思い思いの場所で過ごせるのもいい点でした。ハワイに来た時には、また参加したいと思いました。

The scenery was beautiful, and even for older people, it was an easy and nice course. However, having to wait for the others in the group to return was tiring, as it took a long time.

景色がよくて歳がいってても歩きやすくよいコースでした。ただ他のプランの人たちの帰ってくるのをまっていなくてはいけなくて長いあいだ待たないといけないのは疲れました。

Riding horses by the seaside was pleasant. The van for transportation was crowded and cramped, which was tough. The guide spoke quickly and was a bit hard to understand, but they were very dedicated.

乗馬が海辺で気持ち良かったです。移動のバンは人数多くて狭くてしんどかったです。ガイドさんは早口であまりわかりにくかったですが一生懸命でした。

Every year I go to Hawaii, but this was my first time sailing off Waikiki. There were about 10 participants that day, and we were the only Japanese. The ride was comfortable without any nausea-inducing swaying. The view of Waikiki from the sea was exceptional. There were quite a few turtles at the snorkeling point, which was enjoyable. However, there were no life jackets, just a floating noodle. They provide snorkeling gear for free, so if you're anxious, it's better to bring your own. The other catamaran tour I considered had life jackets (I noticed since they were at the same point). Drinks and snacks are available for purchase, so I recommend bringing your own water. The staff only spoke English but were friendly and kind. Since it departs from Waikiki Beach, it's easy to join, so I recommend it.

毎年ハワイに行っていながら、初のワイキキ沖セーリング。当日の参加者は10人ほどで日本人は私たちだけ。酔うような揺れもなく快適。沖から見るワイキキの眺めは格別でした。シュノーケルポイントにはカメさんも結構いて楽しめます。ただ・・・ライフジャケット等はなく、英語で「ヌードル」という浮く棒のみ。シュノーケルは無料で貸してくれます。なので、不安な方は持参した方がよいかと。迷ったもう１つのカタマランツアーにはライフジャケットがありました（同じポイントでやっていたのでわかりました）。飲み物、スナックは有料なのでお水等持参がおすすめ。スタッフは英語のみですが感じよく親切。ワイキキビーチ発なので気軽に参加できるのでおすすめです。

Was one of the best times as a family so much fun crew was friendly and very helpful. A must if ever In the area

Absolutely wonderful day! Super friendly folks start to finish. Would definitely recommend.

This was a once in a lifetime experience! The crew was great and very informative. It was so much fun!

It was so awesome. I would definitely want to try this again next time :)

The explanations were all in English, and I didn't understand them at all, but somehow I managed. The parasailing itself was very pleasant with beautiful scenery and a bit of thrill. The hotel transfer was also well organized.

説明がすべて英語で全く説明の意味がわかりませんでしたが、何とかなりました。パラセイリング自体は美しい景色と少しのスリリングでとても気持ちがよかったです。ホテルへの送迎もしっかりとしていました。

I went surfing near Kapiolani Park in Waikiki. The instructor was a local, and he quickly remembered my face and name, giving necessary instructions in broken Japanese. Everyone else was a beginner, so the instructor was pushing the board for us when we were catching waves. I found it a bit lacking for my level. He also took pictures of me surfing, which I bought as a keepsake. It's a nice memento.

ワイキキのカピオラニ公園近くでのサーフィンでした。インストラクターは現地の人でしたが、ちゃんと顔と名前をすぐ覚えくれて、必要な指示はカタコトの日本語でしてくれました。私以外は全員初心者だったので、インストラクターは波に乗る時ボードを押してくれていました。私にはちょっと物足りなかったかな。波乗りしてる写真も撮ってくれたので記念に買いました。いい記念です。

My 49-year-old mother participated because of my daughter. It was her first time, but she managed to stand up once. My daughter was surfing really well. Being young is wonderful. The staff were all kind and pleasant.

娘の付き合いで４９歳の母も頑張って参加しました。初めてでしたが１度だけたてました。
娘はミルミル上手に波乗りしてました。若いって素敵。
スタッフはみんな優しくて感じいいですよ。

I was nervous participating alone without speaking English, but it was great to be in the same group as Japanese people. Once you get out to the sea, you end up being alone anyway, so I don't think there's any need to worry about participating solo. Riding the waves by yourself is difficult, but the staff pushes you at just the right moment, making it easy to catch the waves. However, as a beginner, the board was really big, and paddling was very challenging.

英語も話せずのひとり参加したのでドキドキでしたが、日本の方と同じグループだったので良かったです。海に出ると結局は一人になるので、ひとり参加でも不安になることは無いと思います。自分で波に乗るのは難しいですが、スタッフがちょうど良いタイミングで押してくれるので簡単に波に乗ることが出来ました。ただ、初心者だったのでボードがすごく大きくパドルで進むのがとっても大変でした。

The couple participated in a semi-private lesson, while their child joined a private lesson. This was the second time for their 8-year-old son, and he was able to ride the waves without any difficulty. He had a reliable instructor, which made it easy for us to watch him. He expressed that he wants to participate again.

夫婦はセミプライベートレッスンで参加。子はプライベートレッスンで参加させていただきました。今回で２度目参加の８才の息子も難なく波に乗れていました。また頼もしい先生がついており安心して見てられました。また参加したいと息子も言っています。

In the semi-private lesson, my wife and I had one instructor with us. Thanks to that, we were able to ride the waves several times with the teacher's assistance. The complimentary T-shirt was also stylish and nice.

セミプライベートレッスンで妻と二人で一人の先生がついてくれました。そのおかげで先生の手助けを受けながら何度の波乗りできました。特典のTシャツもオシャレで良かったです。

Got caught in the "hang loose" spirit of Hawaii. The activity was booked for transporation at 9.45AM. The day before the activity a message was left at the hotelphone that transport fell through and I had to confirm (before 6PM) new transport time of 5.15AM! Of course I got back at my hotel after 12PM and wasn't able to confirm early pick-up. So I decided to go to the meeting point anyway, but no transport. Office opened at 6AM when I could finally phone in. Service level was low, merely a "No transport, sorry, reschedule please" Since that was not an option for me we had to come up with a solution. After a lot of back and forth (cab will cost you 200 one way!!)I decided to go on a citybus for 2.5 hrs which cost me 2.50 dollars and I made it with an hour to spare. Veltra was very service friendly. They contacted me and booked transport money back right away, without me even asking for it. So lesson learned: No pick-up service for shark tour!
I never even got a sorry from the Shark tour operator and the captain didn't know my name I had become a plus one!
The harbour of the tour itself was a bit dingy at best. The public toilet was filthy with bloodstains and glass bottles, but the boat had no changing option, so you have to use it.
The boat is very nice and the boat ride is awesome (unless you have motion sickness, in that case you will get sick, trust me!)The shark cage is not big, but big enough for the six per group that went in. Pay for the DVD, taking pictures yourself is very hard. The life vest will keep you floating and the ocean slams you into the cagebarrier.
The sharks are amazing and worth every bit of inconvenience. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable. They care for your safety and for the ocean wild life. It's not scary at all. When you get back I recomment getting lunch at Halewa Joe's. Just sit there and review your tour. If you can visit North shore or Turtle beach on your way back. The total tour is highly recommendable (without transport)

The staff is entertaining, and you can go quite high up! The view is spectacular! However, you have to wait for other people's turn, and I got really seasick on the small boat, honestly, I was almost about to throw up... (°_°;) I recommend bringing motion sickness medication for those who are sensitive.

スタッフもおもしろくて、なかなかの高さまで上がります！絶景です！
ただ自分たち以外の人の時間待っていないといけないのですが、小さいボートでゆらゆら、スゴく酔いました、正直もうすこしで戻していましたね…(°_°;)
弱い方は酔い止め持参をおすすめします

We were on the same boat with four groups: two older, plump American women, a newlywed American couple, two Japanese women, and our family. I felt a bit scared, but my husband and son were excited from the start. If we can go to Hawaii again next year, I definitely want to try parasailing again. Also, I accidentally lost my hat, but a cool guy (the one who was explaining things) jumped into the sea and retrieved it for me! Thank you! It was a moment that improved my impression of Hawaii after 27 years.

４組（かなり年配でふくよかなアメリカ人女性２人・アメリカ人新婚さん・日本人女性２人・我々家族）が　一緒のボート。　私は少し恐怖心
がありましたが、夫と息子は最初からノリノリ。　結果は来年またハワイに行けたらやっぱりまた　パラセーリングやりたいな。　あと、私のミスで帽子を飛ばしてしまったのですが、かっこいいお兄さん（説明してくれる担当の）が　海にさっと飛び込んで拾い上げてくれました！ありがと〜う！２７年ぶりのハワイの印象アップの瞬間でした。

I participated in a one-day course from morning to evening with nine people, including myself. Since I was the last to be picked up, I waited for 15 minutes and was really anxious about whether they would actually come, but after that, everything went smoothly. In addition to horseback riding, we visited Moanalua Gardens, a pineapple plantation, and saw sea turtles (which we miraculously spotted!). We had lunch at a delicious shrimp restaurant, and since we had some extra time, they kindly took us to a soap factory. Our guide, Jimmy, was a Japanese-American who was fluent in Japanese and very experienced in guiding. He translated all the instructor's explanations during the horseback riding, so there were no issues at all.

Now, regarding the main horseback riding experience, the horses were well-trained thoroughbreds used for polo, and they responded very well to the reins even without a bit in their mouths. There were no problems for beginners at all! The ride was supposed to be an hour and a half, but with explanations and time spent mounting the horses, we actually rode for about an hour and fifteen minutes. It was so enjoyable that it felt like no time at all. When you hear "valley," you might imagine a river flowing, but we simply walked along mountain paths at a steady pace, going up and down repeatedly, and finally reached a spot where we could see the beach in the distance for a commemorative photo on horseback. Shortly after that, we dismounted. After finishing, we immediately got into the car and headed for lunch, so I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have time to interact with the horses or relax at the ranch, but it was a very fun day.

Since we were mostly walking, it might be a bit unsatisfying for intermediate to advanced riders, but I think it was a great experience to create wonderful memories of Hawaii.

朝から夕方までの1日コースで、私を含めて9人が参加しました。ピックアップの順番が最後だったので15分またされて、本当に来てくれるのかとドキドキしましたが、そのあとは順調でした。乗馬のほかにモアナルアガーデン、パイナップル園、ウミガメ見学（奇跡的に見られました！）、おいしいシュリンプのお店でお昼、時間が余ったので特別にソープファクトリーまで連れて行っていただきました。ガイドのジミーさんは日本語が堪能の日系の方でガイドにとても慣れていました。乗馬もインストラクターの説明を全て通訳してくださったので全く問題ありませんでした。
さて、メインの乗馬ですが、馬はポロ競技用によく調教されているサラブレッドで、口にハミを付けていなくても手綱の指示で本当によく動いてくれました。初心者でも全く問題ありません！時間は、1時間半コースでしたが説明や馬に乗る時間があるので実質1時間15分乗ったか乗らないかくらいでした。楽しかったのであっという間でしたね。渓谷と聞くと川の流れを想像させるのですが、ひたすら山道を並足で進み、上り下りを繰り返し、最後に遠くにビーチを望む場所に出て馬上で記念撮影。そのすぐ後に下馬になりました。終わったらすぐに車に乗って昼食に向かったので、馬と触れ合ったり牧場でのんびりしたりする時間がなかったのがちょっと残念でしたが、とても楽しい1日でした。
ずっと並足だったので乗馬の中上級者にはものたりないかもしれませんが、ハワイのいい思い出を作るには盛りだくさんでいい体験かなと思います。
