Oahu
They came to pick me up earlier than scheduled. After signing some documents, we moved to a few other pickup locations and then headed to Diamond Head. Once everyone gathered, the guide started. I only understood about half of what was said, but it seemed like most of it was jokes. Everyone except me seemed to be native English speakers. However, it was no problem at all if you couldn't speak. The entrance fee and reservation for Diamond Head were handled by Veltra, so you can get in without doing anything. I was dropped off at the entrance of Diamond Head around 8:40, received a bottle of water, and was told to be back by 10:30.
The hike to Diamond Head takes about 30 to 40 minutes one way. There are many bumpy areas and stairs, so I recommend wearing sneakers. It can be quite windy and relatively cold at the top, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.
After coming down, I relaxed on a bench and looked at souvenirs. I was a bit anxious when the return pickup didn't arrive on time, but I thought, "This is America, so it’s probably normal." You also receive water on the way back, which you can decline if you don't want it. The drop-off location can be either the pickup spot or your hotel if it's nearby.
I gave a $10 bill as a tip, which seemed to be the average amount based on what I saw from other participants. I joined as a solo male traveler, but I wasn't singled out or anything; it was a straightforward and nice tour. If you can understand some English, this option is cheaper than a Japanese guide with tips included, so I think it's sufficient. For those who can use Lealea, it's easy to go that way. If you take The Bus, you get dropped off in front of the tunnel, so there's quite a bit of walking, but it's cheaper.
予定の時間よりも早く迎えに来てくれました。書類にサインして、他のピックアップ場所へ何箇所か移動して、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ。全員集合すると、ガイドが始まります。半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが、ジョークが大半だったような気がします。私以外は英語ネイティブっぽかったです。でも喋れなくても全く問題なしです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料や予約はベルトラがしてくれますので、何もしなくても入れます。8:40くらいにダイヤモンドヘッドの入り口で降ろされて、お水渡されて、帰りは10:30にココ！と言われました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドへのハイキングは片道だいたい30〜40分くらい。ガタガタのところや階段も多いので、スニーカーをおすすめします。上の方は風がとても強くて、割と寒いので、薄い上着あるといいかもしれないです。
降りてきてからは、ベンチに座ってのんびりしたり、お土産みたりしていました。
帰りは時間通りに迎えが来ず、少し不安でしたが、アメリカなのでそんなもんだろうと。
帰りも水を渡されます。要らなければ断れます。降ろす場所はピックアップ場所か、泊まってるホテルが近ければ送ってくれます。
チップは余っていた10ドル札を渡しました。他の参加者を見ててもそのくらいが平均かなと思います。
男1人で参加でしたが、特にいじられることもなく、さっぱりしていて、いいツアーだと思いました。
多少英語が聞き取れれば、日本語ガイドチップ入りよりも安いので、こちらで十分だと思います。
レアレア利用できる人はそれで行くのが楽です。ザ・バスで行くと、トンネルの前で降りるので割と歩きますが、安いです。
As long as you keep time and follow instructions, there won't be any problems.
時間を守って、あとは言われるがまま動けば何も問題ないです。

I am a fan of Cirque du Soleil and went to see AUANA with high expectations. I was a bit worried about the small stage and how it would feel, but once the show started, those concerns disappeared, and it ended in the blink of an eye. The number of performers was small, but they appeared in various scenes, creating a nice balance. It did not disappoint my expectations. The show explained Hawaiian culture, which was moving. The seats were in a good location, but since it’s a small hall overall, I think all seats have a good view. Foreign visitors should bring a blanket, as it can be quite cold. A jacket is definitely necessary. There are no pamphlets, but you can find T-shirts and keychains at the merchandise booth. I will definitely repeat this when I visit Hawaii next time.
シルクドソレイユのファンで、AUANA 期待して行きました 舞台は、小さくてどんな感じになるか ちよっと不安でしたが 始まったらそんなこと全然良く あっという間に終わってしまった ショーでした 出演者は、少なく 色々な場面に出て 程よい感じ 期待を裏切らないものでした ハワイ文化をショーで説明してくれ 感動しました 席は良い場所でしたが 全体的に小さいホールなので どこも見やすいのでは 外国人の方は毛布持参で やはり寒いです 上着は、絶対必要です。 パンフレットはなく Tシャツやキーホルダー等はグッズ売り場にありますよ 次回ハワイに行く時リピ―トします。
It wasn't fully booked, so I thought there was still time. Anyway, it's really cold.
満席ではなかったので まだまだこれからかと とにかく寒いです

Our guide Ryan was off the hook amazing. His passion for his job showed through. Our journey into the back country of Hawaii was exciting and informative. You’re going to get dirty and it’s worth it. If you only come to Hawaii once in your life make sure you take this tour!!!!
Bring baby wipes. The red dirt gets everywhere. Also bring your adventurous spirit. It will be awed!
It was great to see a compact representation of everything from the birthplace of Hawaii to the myths. I definitely recommend checking it out when you go.
ハワイの生まれところから、神話の話までコンパクトに再現されてよかったです。
是非、いかれた際は見てほしい
Even with the cheapest ticket, I was in the third row from the front, which was right next to the stage. I thought sitting in the back would have been better to see the whole performance.
1番安いチケットでも真横でしたが前から３番目でした。
後ろだと全体が見れてよいかと思いました。

The performance was full of energy and I was very satisfied. I saw it before in Japan, but this time I enjoyed the story as well.
迫力満点のパフォーマンスが続き、大満足でした。日本でも以前見ましたが、今回はストーリーも楽しめました。
I was in the fifth row from the front on the left side of the stage, but since the theater is relatively small, I think you can enjoy it just as much from the back seats.
私は舞台から見て左側、前から5例目でしたが、劇場が比較的狭いので、後ろの席から見ても充分楽しめると思います。

Every thing you said it would be and more Thank you
The access was good, and the time required was reasonable, so I was able to make effective use of the time before checking into the hotel. I could see the ocean of Waikiki from 360 degrees above, and I enjoyed a luxurious view of the cityscape of Waikiki from above the sea.
アクセスも良く、所要時間も手ごろなので、ホテルチェックイン前の時間を有効活用できました。上空からワイキキの海を360度見渡すことができ、ワイキキの街並みを海の上から贅沢に眺めることができました。

Paddling out towards the waves at Waikiki Beach and riding them back is a repetitive but enjoyable experience. Paddling can be quite tiring, but it was thrilling and fun. I think I'll try it again next time.
ワイキキビーチの波に向かって漕ぎ、そして波にのって戻ってくるの繰り返しですが、漕ぐのはまあまあ疲れますが、迫力満点で楽しかったです。次回もまたトライしようと思います。
It would be incredibly fun if I could ride the waves.

I had a wave-riding experience that felt just like surfing. The view of riding the waves towards the hotels on Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head on my right side was breathtaking.
I was also lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

I went to see the Cirque du Soleil in Hawaii that started last year. The seats had a good view, and the audience felt connected, making it a very enjoyable experience with a lot of content. I've seen two performances in Las Vegas so far, and I highly recommend this one as well.
去年から始まったシルクドソレイユinハワイを見に行ってきました。
お席も見やすくてお客様も一体感があり内容もボリュームある感じでとても楽しめました。
今までラスベガスで2公演見ましたがこちらもオススメです。

I heard that Cirque du Soleil was performing in Hawaii, so I made a reservation right away. The acrobatics were not much different from other Cirque du Soleil shows, but the incorporation of Hawaiian culture in the performance was beautiful. I was also happy to see elements from my favorite drama "Hawaii Five-0." The venue was small, so even the cheapest seats had a good view.
ハワイでシルクドソレイユが上演されると聞いて即予約しました。
アクロバットの内容は他のシルクドソレイユの演目とさほど変わりませんが、ハワイ文化の演出が美しかったです。
大好きなドラマ「ハワイ5-0」の演出もあったのも嬉しかったです。
会場が狭いので、一番安い席でも良くみえました。
I think it would be better to bring opera glasses.
オペラグラスを持参するとより良いと思います。

The boat was quite rough, making it feel like an attraction, which was fun! The parasailing itself didn't have a floating sensation; it was just a bit windy. I didn't get seasick on the boat, but I did feel a bit nauseous while parasailing.
船は結構荒くて、アトラクションみたいで面白かったです！パラセーリング自体にはふわっと感はなく、風が強いなーくらいでした。船は酔わなかったけど、パラセーリング中は酔いました、、
Translated by OpenAI
I was able to enjoy the breathtaking views. The floating time was about 8 minutes. Not only did I see the beautiful ocean, but I also got to view Waikiki and Diamond Head from a high vantage point. The boat moved out further than I expected, and I enjoyed the time on the boat as well. I chose to go paragliding at 150 meters, and it was higher than I imagined. While I felt a bit of fear when the wind picked up, I was able to enjoy the stunning scenery. Surprisingly, I felt like I could enjoy the views for a long time. It's a unique experience to gracefully enjoy the sights of Waikiki from such a high place, so I highly recommend it. The staff were also very kind and cheerful.
絶景を楽しむことが出来ました。浮遊時間は約8分ほど。綺麗な海はもちろん、ワイキキ市街やダイヤモンドヘッドを高いところから見ることが出来ました。ボートは思ったよりも置きに進み、船の時間も楽しむことが出来ました。パラセーリングは150mを選択しましたが想像以上に高く、風に煽られると若干の恐怖心もありながら、絶景を楽しむことが出来ました。意外にも長く感じるほど景色を楽しめました。あれほど高いところから優雅にワイキキの景色を楽しめることは無いのでおすすめです。スタッフの方も大変優しく陽気な方々でした。
If you are prone to seasickness, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. You don't need to arrive too early; about five minutes before the meeting time is sufficient.
船酔いする方は酔い止めを持参するとよいです。集合時間に対しては早く行く必要もなく、5分前程度で十分です。

A beautiful story. A performance.
It was a first experience different from a circus.
I feel lucky to have such an experience in Hawaii.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to attend again.
美しい物語。パフォーマンス。
サーカスとは違う初めての経験。

It's cold, so a jacket is necessary. Since it's not very spacious, sitting in the back is fine. There's no need to get expensive seats.

I watched from the front row, and the impact was incredible. There were also fun skits that involved bringing audience members on stage. I hesitated a bit because the price was a little high, but I'm glad I decided to make the reservation.

I was a complete beginner at surfing, but the instructor provided excellent guidance, and I was able to stand up on the board in about 20 minutes. Above all, the experience of surfing at Waikiki Beach was truly irreplaceable.

I watched the performance from section 101 next to the stage, and the Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber theater is compact, so you can see the dance right in front of you, which is impressive and moving.
ステージ横の101区分で観覧したのですがアウトリガーワイキキビーチコマーの劇場はコンパクトなので、結構目の前で演舞を見れるので迫力があり感動します。
Since they are using the small stage to its fullest, if you sit too far forward, you won't be able to see the whole performance. If you can choose your seat, it seems like a seat in the back of the mi

The weather was clear and perfect for horseback riding on the day of the experience. I had tried horseback riding a few times in Japan, but this was my first long ride, and it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. It seems there has been a lot of rain recently, and due to some paths being washed out, the 2-hour plan was shortened to 1.5 hours, but it was still more than enough of an experience. They also offered a refund for the shortened time. Since I was at the upper limit of the weight for riding, I was a bit anxious during the weighing process, but I was assigned the largest horse, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues.
当日は快晴で絶好の乗馬日和でした。
日本で体験乗馬は何回かしていたのですが、長時間の乗馬は初めてで非常に楽しい体験。
最近雨が多いらしく、一部道が崩れていることで2時間プランが1.5時間になりましたが、十分過ぎる体験でした。
短くなった分は返金対応をしてくださっています。
私が体格が大きく乗馬できるギリギリの体重だったので、軽量の時はヒヤヒヤしましたが、一番大きいお馬さんを割り当てていただいたので、問題なく体験できました。
Since there will be a weight measurement, it's safer for those close to the limit to go on a diet beforehand. I was right on the edge, so I was quite nervous. Also, since you can only bring your smart

I think being able to ride horses along the coast is something unique to Hawaii, so I decided to participate. All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!
海沿いを乗馬できるのはハワイならではだと思い参加しました。
説明はすべて英語でしたが、行くまでの道中で日本語でドライバーのカズさんが事前に教えてくれていたので安心して楽しむことができました！

Kualoa Ranch, famous for being a filming location for Jurassic Park, is truly breathtaking when you see the scenery right in front of you. The horseback riding lasts a solid two hours. You ride in a line of six, navigating some pretty tough paths, including narrow trails and cliffs. However, the horses are very smart and know the way, so there are no issues.
One instructor accompanies you and explains the locations in English. Occasionally, if a horse doesn't move or if a rider's posture is poor, they will give you a reminder. My legs were shaking after the two hours, but it was truly a valuable experience, and I'm glad I did it! Since it's a tour, you might have some free time afterward, but the burgers at the café are incredibly delicious, and since the ocean is right next to it, you can relax by the sea if you return within the time limit. I think it's an experience you can't have in Japan!
ジュラシックパークのロケ地で有名なクアロアランチ。知ってはいたけど、いざ目の前に広がる景色をみると圧巻です。
乗馬はしっかり２時間します。6名で1列になり、細道や崖などけっこうハードな道を進みます。ただ、お馬さんがとてもお利口で道を分かっているので問題ないです。
インストラクターの方は1名着いてくれ英語でロケーションの説明などをしてくれます。
たまに、お馬さんが動かなかったり、乗る人の姿勢が悪かったりすると声をかけてくれます。２時間終わった後の足はガクガクになりましたが、本当に貴重な体験ができてやって良かったです！ツアーなので、終わった後に時間を持て余しますがカフェのハンバーガーがめちゃくちゃ美味しいのと横が海なので時間内に戻れば海に行ってのんびりも出来ます。日本では出来ない体験だと思います！

We participated as a family of six across three generations. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean and under the blue sky, which was a different perspective from what we usually see from the land. I challenged myself to float in the sky, and it wasn't scary at all; I was able to enjoy it to the fullest. The staff prioritized safety and were full of humor, which made us feel secure while participating. It's truly an enjoyable activity.

Get ready to sit back and be amazed by the incredible talent and creativity of the Cirque du Soleil cast and crew. There were moments I found myself watching with one eye covered—it was that nerve-wracking to witness some of the daring acts!
I couldn’t help but think: These performers must dedicate countless hours to perfecting their craft, and they do this twice a night? Truly impressive. Bravo! Bravo!
This show is a must-see for all ages and can be enjoyed by people from anywhere in the world. A beautiful blend of art, athleticism, and imagination—don’t miss it!
Sit in the back if you want to watch the whole show, for sure you'll feel the energy in the front!
Check-in at the tour desk of the Outrigger Hotel at 11:30. Departed from in front of Halekulani on the Holokai Catamaran.
Before long, we arrived at Turtle Canyon, a few kilometers offshore. Sea turtles were swimming right next to the boat!
I borrowed a mask and fins and went snorkeling while observing the coral reef. I was able to spot sea turtles underwater right away!
After snorkeling, we raised the sails and cruised while enjoying the view of Diamond Head. The sea breeze was very pleasant!
The crew was also very service-oriented, and the kids got to sit at the helm, making it a fun tour!

I'm giving a 4 out of 5 because the trek to the beach was a long hike. The description did say you had to take your kayak down to the beach yourself, but we weren't expecting such a long hike to start kayaking. Once down at the beach their were employees there to help you into your kayak and give you a good push to get you started. The water was amazing, the bird sanctuary was nice. We didn't make it to the snorkeling by kayak, but drove there because not everyone could have made it the whole way. Once we made it to the snorkeling area it was amazing. The reefs were beautiful and full of sea life. The price for the self guided was great. You get access to all of their gear all day until 5pm.
