At the end of July, I participated in the "Horseback Riding in Hawaii! North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience at Hawaii Polo Club" plan. My husband and I joined together. We were both anxious since we couldn't speak English, but the staff member, Alex, kindly explained everything in simple English at a slow pace, which we really appreciated.

The horseback riding experience was amazing! I was able to hold the reins myself and, although it was slow, I enjoyed the beautiful coastline, which was even more stunning than the sea in Waikiki. It was truly the best time.

The horses were well-trained, and I felt no fear at all. There was also a family of foreigners with us, including a girl around 10 years old who was riding for the first time, and she seemed to have a lot of fun! I also recommend this place because the riding experience lasts longer than at other facilities. There were three female staff members, and they were all very kind.

At the end, we took commemorative photos with the beautiful sea in the background, and it was truly a wonderful experience! I plan to use this service again when I go to Hawaii!

Lastly, I have to mention… when I heard "Polo Club," I imagined a luxurious facility, but in reality, it was more like a farm (laughs). The waiting area was a small outdoor shed, and the restroom was a portable toilet. But that didn't matter because I highly recommend it!

７月末に
《ハワイで乗馬！ ノースショア海辺乗馬体験　ハワイ・ポロ･クラブ》プランに参加しました。
夫婦での参加。
二人とも英語が話せないので不安だったのですが、スタッフの女の子（アレックスちゃん）が 一生懸命簡単な英語でゆっくり説明してくれたのでとてもありがたかったです。

乗馬体験は最高‼︎‼︎
自分で手綱を引き、ゆっくりではありますが ワイキキの海より美しい海岸沿いを眺めながら
本当に最高の時間を過ごせました。

馬もよく調教されていて 恐怖感はまったくありませんでした。
私達の他に 外国人のご家族も一緒で、乗馬初体験の10歳くらいの女の子もいましたが とても楽しんでいましたよ！
他の乗馬体験ができる施設よりも
体験できる時間が長いところもオススメですね♫
スタッフは女性が３人でしたが みなさんとても親切でした。
最後には美しい海をバックに 記念撮影もして頂き、本当に素晴らしい最高の体験ができました‼︎
またハワイに行く際は利用しようと思います‼︎
最後にひとつだけ…
ポロクラブ…と聞いて、豪華な施設を勝手に思い描いていましたが（笑）実際は農場のような所です（笑）
待合室となる所は屋外の小屋で、
おトイレも仮設トイレ。
でもそんなの関係なくなるくらい、オススメですよ！

We went parasailing as a group of four. At first, I thought we would ride in pairs, but it turned out that we needed to meet a weight requirement, so we all went up together to 150 meters. The 360-degree panorama of Waikiki is amazing. I felt like a bird. I definitely want to try it again next year.

４人でパラセーリングしました。最初は、２人ずつライディングさせて頂けると思いましたが結局、体重の重さが足りないと駄目ということになり、４人で一気に150メートルまで上げて
頂くことになりました。ワイキキの360度のパノラマは、最高です。鳥の気持ちになりました。また、来年、是非トライしたいと思いました。

We experienced this with a couple of elderly people, our daughter, and our granddaughter, making a group of four. The course is 110 meters long, but this refers to the length of the rope. Depending on the wind, the parasail can come close to directly above the boat, reaching nearly 110 meters in height; if it drifts, it won't reach that height. During our participation, there was a north wind, so when we returned from offshore to Waikiki, we went higher compared to the members on the way out. However, since it feels like you are "floating" in the air, I don't think you'll feel scared. Since Waikiki is on the southern coast, if you want your face to look good in photos, I recommend boarding when heading out to sea. On the way back, the lighting is somewhat backlit, so your face may appear darker in the pictures. The crew took about 40 photos for a fee of $30, and this price applies whether you are a group of two or four. What I don't understand is the "tip." On the boat, there was a note in Japanese stating that "the fee does not include tips," which I believe means they want tips from Japanese customers. In such services, I’m not sure how much to give, and I ended up giving more than I intended. Many Americans did not seem to give tips, but it would be helpful to know the standard.

年寄り夫婦に娘と孫娘の4人で体験しました。１１０ｍのコースですが、これはロープの長さで、パラセールが風の具合でボートの真上近くまでくればほぼ高さも１１０ｍで、ズレていればその高さにはたどり着かない。我々の参加時は北風だったので、沖からワイキキに戻る時に上がったので、行きのメンバーと比較すると高くまで上がりました。ただし、空中に「浮いている」感じなので、怖さは感じないと思います。ワイキキが南海岸なので、写真で顔映りを良くしようと思ったら、沖に出る時の搭乗をお勧めします。帰りだと逆光気味なので、顔が暗めに写ります。写真代はクルーが40枚ほど撮って30ドルで、2人でも4人でも1グループならその料金で対応してくれました。分からないのは「チップ」で、ボートには日本人向けに「料金にはチップ代は含まれていません」という様な事が日本語で書かれており、日本人からはチップを貰いたい、と言うことだと思われます。この様なサービスの場合、どの程度渡したものか分からず、ついついはずんでしまいました。アメリカ人らしい人達の多くは渡していませんでしたが、基準を教えてもらえるとありがたい。

I went on a trip to Hawaii with my parents to create memories. It was a great place with beautiful nature. It's good because both children and adults can enjoy it. The food wasn't delicious.

両親を連れてのハワイ旅行
思い出作りに行って来ました
大自然の良い場所でした
子供から大人まで楽しめるので良いです。
ご飯は美味しくない

Everyone except us spoke English!! In the bus and on the boat, it was filled with fast-paced English, and even the English I thought I could understand was completely incomprehensible, but I managed to go with the flow. Since we're all human, we somehow made it work.

With an upbeat energy that you don't find in Japan, let's fly!! She was screaming in fear and kept her eyes mostly closed, but that really got a laugh from everyone else. It was a fun adventure! It was 90 meters, but there was plenty of time, and I was completely satisfied. I recommend getting the photos (an additional $30). They ask if you want to take pictures just before you fly or if you need an SD card.

I said, "Sure!! So many pictures please!!" When I got back, there were 150 photos!! Amazing. There are some black spots in the images, possibly from sand or water droplets, but the quality is top-notch. When zoomed in, you could even see each hair on my shins (laughs).

I definitely want to participate again when I go back to Hawaii, but she says she doesn't want to do it anymore! (laughs) Since tips are not included, I gave $10 to the boat staff and $5 to the shuttle driver, but I wonder if that was too little. I was a bit broke and didn't have much cash on hand...

私たち以外は全員、英語！！という状況で、バス車内も船上も早口英語だらけで、ある程度わかるかと思っていた英語も、ちんぷんかんぷんでしたが、そこはノリで対応。同じ人間なので、なんとかなるもんです。
日本人には無いアゲアゲのテンションで、レッツフライ！！彼女は恐怖で叫びながら、ほぼ目を閉じていましたが、それも向こうの方には大ウケ。
楽しい冒険でした！90mでしたが、時間もたっぷりで十分満足できます。写真（別途30ドル）もお願いしたほうがいいです。飛ぶ直前に写真撮るか？SDカードいるか？みたいなことを聞かれます。
sure!!so meny picture please!!とか言ってみました。帰ってみると150枚！！スゲー。砂がついているのか、水滴が付いているのか、画像には黒い点なども入っていますが、画質は最高画質。ズームすると、スネ毛の一本一本も見えました（笑）
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したいけど、彼女はもうやだ！と言っています（笑）
チップが含まれていないので、船のスタッフに10ドル、送迎手に5ドル渡したけど少なかったかな。貧乏だし、手持ちが少なかったから。。。

Last time, my child was 2 years old and seemed to have no memory of it, and since they were still small, it was difficult to participate in the wild dolphin tour, so we joined.
The price is high... The photo cost also went up by 5 dollars compared to last time... I bought it anyway.
However, my child enjoyed it, so that was good.
After interacting with the dolphins, there wasn't much else to see; it felt like it was just about the dolphins.
The meals were also expensive, and the locals brought their own food.
If the goal is to interact with dolphins, I think it's a good tour.

前回は子供が2歳で、記憶がないようだったのと、まだ小さく野生イルカツアーの参加が難しかったので、参加しました。
値段は高いです…。写真も前回より5ドル上がってました…。買いましたが。
しかし、子供は楽しんでいたので良かったです。
イルカと触れ合った後は、あまり見るものもなく、イルカだけという感じでした。
食事も高くて、地元の人は持参してました。
イルカと触れ合うことが目的なら、いいツアーだと思います。

I participated with him. I was impressed by this tree! The soft serve ice cream at Dole Plantation was incredibly delicious.

The Happy Trails horseback riding experience was thrilling with ups and downs in nature, and we could see the ocean, making the 90 minutes fly by. The horses were all well-behaved, which made me feel safe while riding.

During the sightseeing on the way there and back, the driver shared various stories while driving, and I felt the spirit of hospitality as I listened to so many interesting tales. I was impressed by the wealth of information about Hawaii's history, plants, and even celebrities coming from Japan. For lunch, I had the garlic shrimp at Macky's, which was truly delicious and made me very happy.

I only got to see the sea turtles swimming. Additionally, since the travel time was smooth, we also stopped by Matsumoto Shave Ice, a coffee farm, and a soap factory. Although the time spent at each place was short and quite hectic, I had a very fulfilling and enjoyable day. Thank you very much.

彼と2人で参加しました。この木なんの木に感動！ドールプランテーションのソフトクリームがすごく美味しかったです。
そしてハッピートレイルズは自然の中のアップダウンありで海も見えたり飽きないコースでドキドキしながら90分の乗馬体験はあっという間でした。おりこうさんな馬ばかりで安全に乗れて安心しました。
行き帰りの観光では、ドライバーさんが運転しながらもずっと色々な話をしてくれて、本当に疲れるのではないかと思うほどたくさんのお話を聞けおもてなしの心を感じました。ハワイの歴史から植物、また日本からくる芸能人の情報なども豊富で感心しました。お昼はマッキーズのガーリックシュリンプを食べましたが本当に美味しくて感動して幸せでした。
ウミガメは泳いでるところだけ見れました。
また、移動時間がスムーズだったので松本シェイブアイス、コーヒー農園とソープファクトリーにも寄ってくれました。一つの場所の滞在時間が短くてかなり慌ただしくもありましたがとても充実した楽しい一日を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a honeymoon trip, and it was very enjoyable and created great memories. Even though it was 180 meters, there was no particular sense of fear, and the guide made a few jokes in Japanese, which made me feel at ease.

新婚旅行に参加しましたが、とても楽しくいい思い出になってます。180メートルといっても、きょうふかんも特になく、ガイドの方も少し日本語で冗談とかいってくれるので、安心しました。

Wow, what an experience! It's the only way to describe the feeling. Out of the choices we did 1000ft. Now it sounded pretty high but that's the only way to do it! Go big or go home! The views of the bay and diamond head were so awesome. The driver kills the engine a few times and it feels like a roller coaster ride. When you're in the air, it doesn't matter that you are so far in the sky and the boat looks so tiny. Such a rush! The guys are super cool and do offer to take pictures for you for a cost. It was like $30 for almost 200 pics. I had a waterproof camera and snapped some pics but not the same. Whatever floats your boat. Also remember that the longer the line, the longer the ride! And when you come back to the boat, you get dunked in the ocean, so refreshing! I was lucky to ride again with a single guy who was doing 300ft. Not even close to the same feeling when you're so much higher. I hope this review helps.

You can interact with dolphins, and the children seemed to have a great time. Since each person has their own time to interact with the dolphins, the overall waiting time can be a bit long, which is a slight downside. The transportation included a shuttle, so I was fast asleep on the bus... I think this kind of travel is convenient.

It might depend on the season, but the water was a bit cold. There were people who got out of the pool early.

As I mentioned in the photos, you can also see a dolphin show. However, since it's in English, I couldn't really understand what they were saying.

The show itself is better in Japan.

イルカと触れあうことができ、子どもも楽しそうでした。
1人ひとりがイルカと触れあう時間があるために、トータルでの待ち時間が長いのが少し難点でしょうか。
送迎付きだったので、バスの中は熟睡・・・。
こういう移動も楽だと思います。

時期によるかもしれませんが、水が少し冷たかったです。先にプールから上がっている人もいました。

写真にも載せましたが、イルカショーも見られます。
が、当然英語なので、何を言っているのかはよくわからず。

ショー自体は日本の方がよいですね。

Since I was accompanied by an elderly person and a child, I booked a submarine tour where we could enjoy the underwater scenery without getting wet.

We took a boat from the beach out to sea and approached the submarine to board it. Although the sea was a bit murky due to the storm, we were still able to fully enjoy the underwater views. It seemed that the scenery was better on the left side than on the right side of the submarine. Additionally, while you can listen to explanations in Japanese through headphones inside the submarine, having some understanding of English allows you to enjoy the real-time commentary even more.

老人とコドモが同行していたので、水に濡れることなく海中景色が楽しめる、潜水艦ツアーを申し込みました。

浜辺からボートで沖に出て、沖にいる潜水艦に近づいて乗り込みます。
嵐の後だったので、多少、海が濁っていたようですが、それでも充分に海中の景色を堪能できました。
潜水艦では、右側よりも左側のほうが、景色は良かったようです。
なお、潜水艦内ではヘッドフォンで日本語の説明を聞くことができますが、多少でも英語が分かったほうが、リアルタイムの説明を聞けるので、より楽しめます。

I participated with a friend and their child, making a group of four. We couldn't speak Japanese, but we managed just fine with gestures. The parasailing was completely stable, and I didn't feel nauseous at all. I'm really glad I experienced the wonderful views from the sky!

友人親子と4人で参加。日本語は使えませんがジェスチャーで問題なくOKでした。パラセイリングは全く揺れず、酔うことはありませんでした。空からの素晴らしい景色は体験して本当に良かったです！

Last time, my child was small and a bit scared, but this time we had a fantastic experience with the dolphin kiss and were very satisfied. There are many hands-on experiences here, but you can also spend a leisurely day just watching.

前回は子供が小さくて少しビビッてたのですが、今回はドルフィンのキスに大はしゃぎで大満足の体験ができました。ここは体験型が多いですが、見るだけでも一日ゆっくりできますよ。

The crew was very cool and helpful, they seemed quite knowledgeable and very helpful and conscientious of people's needs. It felt like Shark Week for real!!! We would recommend this activity for anyone looking for fun and something awesome to remember for years to come.

Incredible experience, there were up to 10 sharks at some points, coming up close to the cage. It was very safe and secure at all times.

We took the 4pm ride, and it was good that it wasn't so hot for riding a horse. The mountains, forests, and the ocean view were absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed a lot!

We all loved our ride with Cammie. She was a great guide and we can't wait to go back for another ride.

My husband and I went on the highest one, 1200, which is described as extreme, but is so fun and extremely relaxing. It feels like you're floating. We're both pretty sketchy about heights, but this was so fun. I want to do it again.

I participated with my wife and son. Fortunately, there were no other guests, so it was like a private tour. Our guide, Jimmy, was very friendly and had a calm storytelling style. He was knowledgeable and his stories were interesting.

Unfortunately, it started to rain during our early lunch, but we were able to park right next to Mackey's, so we hardly got wet. Since we had some extra time in our schedule, we stopped by the soap factory on the way back♪

The only disappointment was that we couldn't see any turtles at Ali'i Beach (^^;;

妻と息子と三人で参加。
たまたま他にお客がなく貸し切り状態でした。
ガイドのジミーさんはとても気さくで落ち着いた語り口、知識も豊富で話も面白かったです。

早めの昼食時にあいにくの雨になりましたが、マッキーズにも横付けしていただきほとんど濡れずに済みました。
スケジュールに余裕があったので、帰りにソープファクトリーに寄っていただきました♪

アリィビーチで亀が観られなかったのだけが残念です(^^;;

This is a family friendly and education show. The host are really funny and great sense of humor. The interactive programs and the shows are awesome! We will be back again

I chose the movie village tour and cruise. I was worried because I had a one-and-a-half-year-old child with me, but we had a great time. It was also nice that lunch was included. The movie village tour was excellent, and the guide was very good.

映画村ツアーとクルーズを選択しました。1歳半の子供を連れていったので、心配しましたが、とても楽しむことができました。ランチもついていたのでとてもよかったです。
映画村ツアーもガイドさんがとてもよかったです。

Among the trip to Hawaii with five guys, this activity was particularly memorable and truly addictive. The view of Hawaii from 150 meters above is indescribable, and I highly recommend experiencing it at least once!

I got lost on the way to the meeting point and ended up being late, but they quickly accommodated me by rescheduling to another time.

男5人で行ったハワイ旅行の中でも、特に思い出に残る、本当に病み付きになるアクティビティーでした。上空150メートルから眺めるハワイの景色は、筆舌に尽くしがたく、ぜひ一度体験されてみてはいかかでしょうか！

集合場所までの道で迷ってしまい、予定していた時間には遅れてしまったのですが、すぐに別の時間に回してくれました。

our adventure was awesome, first i didnt think that we were going to see any sharks, but as soon as our boat arrived at the cage, about 15 good sized sharks circled the boat. being in the cage seeing the sharks up close was amazing>

My childern, ages 16 and 21, and I had the best time on the Sunset Cruise! It was one the top highlights of our vacation in Hawaii! The crew members were awesome! They took care of all of our needs. They took many pictures of me and my children and a couple of "selfies"! They were so much fun!! Everyone on the cruise seemed to be having a blast! The even caught a huge mahi mahi while fishing! We saw a beautiful rainbow and a little of another one to make a double rainbow! We had so much fun, we didn't want it to end! Thanks for a fantastic time!!

During my last trip to Hawaii, I was so moved by the show before the Hilton fireworks that this time I wanted to see it up close, and I also wanted to entertain my friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, so I made a reservation.

The reviews beforehand weren't great, but we were very satisfied with the show.

The table we were assigned to had few Asians, but the foreigners sitting next to us were very friendly. The conch shell contest was also fun, as we formed teams at each table, which created a great sense of unity. By the way, we watched from the general seating, and it was more than enough.

The stage show was thrilling, and the female MC's storytelling was easy for Japanese people to understand.

Once the show starts, you become glued to the stage, so you won't have time to go for seconds at the buffet or even focus on eating. I recommend eating well before the show begins.

前回のハワイ旅行でヒルトンの花火の前にやっていたショーを見て
感動したので、今回はすぐそばで見たいと思ったのと初ハワイの友人を楽しませたくて
予約しました。

事前の口コミはあんまりでしたが、私たちには大満足のショーでした。

私たちの案内されたテーブルは、アジアの人が少なかったのですが
隣になった外国人の皆さんがとてもフレンドリーに接してくれて
ほら貝のコンテストも、テーブル毎にチームになって
その一体感も良かったです。
ちなみに、一般席での観賞でしたが十分でした。

迫力満点のステージショーやMCの女性の話術も
日本人にもわかりやすくかったです。

一度、ショーが始まるとステージにクギ付けになってしまうので
バイキング料理をお替わりに行ったり、食事なんてしてられなく
なるので、ショーが始まる前に、しっかり食べておくことを
お勧めします。

Despite the unfortunate rain, I had a genuine horseback riding experience on the mountain trails, which became a wonderful memory. It's suitable for beginners as well.

あいにくの雨の中での乗馬でしたが、山道を本格的に乗馬体験ができ、とても良い思い出になりました。初心者でも大丈夫です。

Was fun!! Hope to visit again Honolulu with other friends so they can try this Xtreme parasailing!and the 2 handsome guys was cool! 1 Keep up the good work!!

Last time, I signed up for the seaside tour, but this time I wanted to ride horses for a longer period, so I participated in the canyon tour. I was very satisfied with the long horseback riding. This canyon tour does not require helmets. There were exciting moments as the horses would eat grass, which was a bit nerve-wracking but fun. It mentions that the tour is in English only, but the guide provided simultaneous interpretation, so there were no issues at all. Besides horseback riding, they also took us to Mackey's Shrimp and Aoki Shave Ice. The tour guide, Nakama, has excellent service spirit. I plan to participate again in November, and I hope to have Nakama as my guide again!☆

前回はこちらの海辺ツアーを申し込んだのですが、もう少し乗馬を長時間したいと思い、今回の渓谷ツアーに参加しました。
長時間馬に乗れて大満足。こちらの渓谷ツアーは、ヘルメットなしです。
馬が草を食べたりしてしまうのでハラハラ楽しいハプニング。
英語のみと記載がありますが、ガイドさん？が同時通訳してくれるのでまったく問題ないです。乗馬以外にもマッキーズのシュリンプや、青木シェイブアイスのお店にも連れて行ってくださいました。添乗員のナカマさん、サービス精神が素晴らしいです。
１１月もまた参加しようと思っているので、その際はまたナカマさんがいいです☆

This activity is quite easy and can be completed in one hour. I participated in the 9 o'clock course and was back at the harbor by 10. The meeting point at the harbor is just a short distance from the Hilton Hotel. It's a bit hard to find, so I recommend arriving early. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable activity.

１時間で完了するアクティビティでかなりお手軽です。私は９時からのコースに参加しましたが、１０時にはハーバーに戻ってこられていました。集合先のハーバーはヒルトンホテルからすぐのところです。すこしわかりにくいので早めの集合をおすすめします。総じてスムーズ、楽しいアクティビティでした。

We went snorkeling and saw a lot of turtles above the water. Water wasnt clear enough to see anything with snorkeling gear so they offered free open bar, free sandwiches and cookie.
