To fulfill my mother's dream of swimming with dolphins, we participated in "Dolphin Adventure." My mother, who can't swim, was anxious, but the staff were very friendly and kind, and she was able to realize her dream safely! We touched and kissed the dolphin LAKA, and swam together! In reality, the swimming lasted only about 10 seconds, but both my mother and I were super excited! It was a valuable experience for us. Thank you, LAKA!

イルカと泳ぎたい！という母の夢をかなえるため、“ドルフィンアドベンチャー”に参加しました。
泳げない母は不安になっていましたが、スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで優しく、無事に夢をかなえることができました‼︎
イルカのLAKAちゃんに、触れたり、キスしたり、そして一緒に泳ぎました！実際、泳いでるのは10秒ないくらいのあっという間の時間でしたが、母も私も大興奮‼︎
貴重な経験をさせて頂きましたo(^▽^)o
LAKAちゃん、ありがとう♡

My partner and I did the 1200ft, we are so happy we choose the longer one because the couple that went before us only did a short one and wished they spent a bit more money for the longer one. We had the best time! Everyone we dealt with (driver to location, boat crew etc) were all lovely and made sure we had a good time. We def recommend to everyone and we would do it again :)

On my first trip to Hawaii, I chose parasailing to experience something truly Hawaiian. He has a fear of heights, and I'm not a big fan either, so we initially talked about going for 45 meters, but we decided to challenge ourselves and go for 90 meters instead.

We were both nervous before flying... At that time, there were only us and a foreign couple, and without any discussion, we were the first to take off. Before flying, we were offered to take photos for $30, with an explanation that they would give us an SD card. Of course, we agreed.

While we were flying, we were both scared and kept laughing, and maybe because of that, we were swung around quite a bit, and towards the end, there was an unexpected dip into the water that we hadn't requested. The foreign couple on the boat seemed to be flying normally, and they were kissing multiple times, looking quite relaxed. The girl managed to shake her head to refuse the dip just before she was about to fall, so she didn't end up in the water.

Regarding the photos, both of us are DSLR users, so we were a bit disappointed. It was understandable since both the boat and we were shaking, but I thought the full auto setting could have been a bit better... It felt like there were very few decent shots. Maybe we were just being tossed around too much.

All in all, despite being scared, I think we had a great time. Perhaps because there were only two couples, our time in the air was really long!

初めてのハワイで、ハワイらしいことをしようとパラセーリングを選びました。
彼は高所恐怖症で、私もそこまで好きでは無いので最初は45Ｍにしようと話していましたが、せっかくなので90Ｍでチャレンジしてきました。
飛ぶ前から二人とも緊張・・・
私たちと外国人カップルしかそのときはおらず、有無を言わさず最初に私たちが飛ばされました。
飛ぶ前には写真を30ドルで撮って、ＳＤプレゼントと説明ありました。
もちろんお願いしました。
飛んでいるときは二人ともビビってずっと笑っていて、そのせいか、楽しんでいると思われてぐわんぐわん振り回されたり、最後のほうにはお願いしていない海ボチャもありました。
ボートが一緒だった外国人カップルは普通に飛んでいるだけで、外国人カップルは何回もキスして余裕そうでした。
海ボチャも彼女が落ちる寸前に首を振って拒否していたのでギリギリで水には入っていませんでした。
写真については私も彼も一眼レフユーザーということもあり、すこしがっかりしました。
ボートも私たちも揺れているからしょうがないのですが、フルオートにしては少し下手では・・・と思ってしまったり。
まともに写っていうのが少ないように感じました。
私たちが揺らされすぎだったのかもしれませんが。

なんだかんだでビビりながらもすごく楽しめたと思います。
2組しかいなかったせいか、滞空時間もすごく長かったです！

I always rely on Gunstock when I go to Oahu. Usually, it's just my husband and me, but this time we were with other foreign guests. Since there were six of us, I thought we wouldn't be able to canter, but my expectations were exceeded. We had a great time cantering, and I was very satisfied.

オアフに行くといつもお世話になるガンストックさん♪
いつもは夫婦ふたりでが多かったのですが今回は他の外国の方も一緒でした。
６人一緒だったので駈歩(キャンター）はしないかな・・・って諦めていましたが、期待を裏切りません。楽しく駈歩できて満足満足でした。

This was probably the best experience in my life. So awesome and a must do if you're in Oahu! I'm definitely doing it again and bringing more friends! The sharks come so close and if you get lucky like us, you'll see some whales! Definitely do it!

It was my first experience riding horses, and I was able to participate very enjoyably. On the way to the North Shore, I was also able to stop by the Dole Plantation, which made me very satisfied. I had heard that the two places mentioned above are difficult to reach without renting a car, so I’m really glad I joined this tour. If I could wish for anything, it would be that the sightseeing time was a bit longer. I was satisfied to stop by a famous garlic shrimp restaurant for lunch. The horseback riding was at the Turtle Bay Hotel's riding club, and it was very satisfying. The scenery by the sea was beautiful, and it felt great to walk a bit through the forest as well. I think this is a tour that even small children can participate in with peace of mind.

乗馬初体験でしたが、とても楽しく参加することが出来ました。
ノースショアに行く途中、この木なんの木、ドールプランテーションも寄ることが出来、満足です。上記の２つはレンタカーなどを借りないと行くのが難しいと聞いていたので、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
欲を言えばもう少し観光の時間が長ければ良かったな。
お昼ご飯は有名なガーリックシュリンプのお店に立ち寄ってもらえて満足でした。
乗馬はタートルベイホテルの乗馬クラブでの参加で、非常に満足できるものでした。
海辺で景色もよく、それでいて少し森の中も歩く感じだったので非常に気持ちよかったです。
小さい子も安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。

Since I saw it during a trip to Hawaii, I've always wanted to try parasailing. This time, the whole family decided to challenge the 150m flight time. My aunt, who was saying how scary it was, ended up satisfied, thinking that at 90m, with just 3 minutes, she wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy the view and would have to come down scared.

I felt so good that while being pulled up in the air, I arched my back to check the horizon!

By chance, I got to try it a second time, and when I raised my hand first, my mother seemed to want to fly too and was feeling regretful. I highly recommend the 150m!

以前ハワイに行った時に見かけて以来、一度体験してみたかったパラセーリング。
今度こそは！と家族全員、滞空時間が長い150mにチャレンジ。
怖い怖い！と言っていた叔母も、90mだと3分だから逆に怖いまま、景色を見る余裕なく降りるしかなかったかもね....と満足。
私は気持ち良すぎて、空の上から釣られながら、背中をそらせ地平線を確認してしまいました！

そして、偶然にも二度チャレンジ出来ることになって、一番に手をあげたら、母も飛びたかったみたいで、悔しがってました(^^;;
150mがオススメです！

As an avid cyclist, a bit more of a workout might have been better, but understanding that everyone is not, the leisurely group tour was fine/good. Our guide, Mattius was easygoing, yet professional and made the excursion both informative and fun. I recommend this tour for anyone at the beginning level who is looking to see some beautiful scenery!

The weather was great, and when we floated up, it was truly breathtaking! The beach and the view were absolutely stunning! It was a floating experience where we could feel the pleasant Hawaiian breeze all over our bodies. The three of us floating in the sky exchanged joyful smiles! When we fell into the sea, we were surprised and laughed out loud! Thank you for the wonderful memories.

天気良く^ ^フワッと上昇したときは圧巻でビーチ＆ヘッドも、まさに絶景！心地よいハワイの風を全身で感じながらの浮遊体験でした。空に浮く3人は顔を見合わせ快感スマイル^ ^‼ 海に落とされたときはドヒャヒャッ!とビックリ。楽しい思い出ありがとうございます。

I danced together with my 3rd-grade daughter and my 77-year-old grandmother. The ascent (probably about 50 meters?) was super fun, but I was scared at 120 meters. My daughter said she was scared too, but my grandmother was "so much fun!!" and was very happy. For those with a fear of heights, the lower ones might be more enjoyable.

I was told the photos would cost $30, and there was a sign on the boat saying "tips are not included..." so when I handed over the money including a tip, they returned the change saying, "You don't need to tip."

The staff were foreigners and didn't understand much Japanese, but they were very kind, which was great.

小学3年の娘と77歳のおばあちゃんと3人一緒に舞いました。
上がっていく過程の（おそらく50メートルくらい？）は超楽しかったですが、120メートルは私は怖かったです。
娘も怖かったと言ってますが、おばあちゃんは「最高に楽しい！！」と大喜びでした。
高所恐怖症の人は、低めの方が楽しいかもしれません。
写真を頼んで30ドルと言われ、ボートに「チップは含まれておりません。。。」という紙が貼ってあったので、チップ込みでお金を渡したら、「チップは要らないです」とおつりを返してくれました。

スタッフさんは外国人の方で日本語はあまり通じなかったけど、とても親切で、良かったです。

Trail riding for the perfect amount of time. The horses were magnificent athletes and very well mannered. More trail than beach. We could have done without the trailblazing through prickers. We could see the ocean the whole time though and saw whales breaching in the distance.

I went on this with my boyfriend and we had lots of fun! Def was not scary but very neat to see the sharks from a different perspective.

We had a great time. There were sea turtles everywhere. We really enjoyed lounging in the nets during the sail portion. Thanks!

My husband is quite large, so at first, he splashed around in the water without flying at all, and when he returned, he just plunged back into the water. I thought I wouldn't get wet, but I ended up soaked from head to toe. However, the view of the sky is amazing.

主人が大柄なので始め水につかったまま全然飛ばす、戻るときも水にドボン。
濡れないかと思っていましたが、頭からビチョビチョになってしまいました。
でも、空の景色は最高です。

We flew with two adults and one child.
Even though it was 120 meters, it felt very high.
The child got motion sickness before flying, so it might be better to take motion sickness medication before participating.

大人２人＋子供１人で飛びました。
120Mとはいえ、とても高く感じました。
子供は飛ぶ前に酔ってしまったので、酔い止めを飲んでの参加のほうがいいかもしれません。

It was a wonderful experience, like flying in the sky.
You can walk there from Hilton.
I flew once with my two young children and their father.

空を飛んでいるような素晴らしい経験でした。
ヒルトンからなら歩いて行けます。
小学校低学年子供二人と父親と三人で一度に飛びました。

We gathered at 5 PM and entered the venue, but the actual start was around 6:30 PM, so we waited quite a while. Considering that, the show was just okay. I shouldn't compare it to the Polynesian Center's show, but the show itself lasted about 30 minutes, and the content was better at the Polynesian Center. However, it was nice to see it in Waikiki. The show was on a rooftop, and since it was April, it was pretty cold. The food was decent.

１７時集合で会場入りしたのですが実際のスタートは１８３０頃でずいぶん待ちました。
の、割にはショーはイマイチ。
ポリネシアンセンターのショーと比べたらいけないですがショー自体の時間は３０分くらいでショー内容もポリネシアンセンターの方がよかったです。
でもワイキキの中でみられるのはよかったです。ビルの屋上でのショーで４月でしたのでけっこう寒かったです。
食事はまあまあです。

Wow! Had the time of our lives up there in the air! Went with my mum (63) and my kids (8 and 5). The crew at Hawaiian Parasail were extremely professional and really made sure we had a great time. The photos they took while we were in the air were amazing. Highly recommend buying the memory card of your parasail. I can't wait to come back to Hawaii and have another parasail with Hawaiian Parasail. Pick up and drop off at hotel was fantastic. Our driver pointed out lots of good places to eat on the way there which was great. We learnt a lot about where to go and what to do on our holiday just on the trip there and back. Can't recommend highly enough!

This is my second time participating. My first experience was riding a horse. The horses at Kualoa are very gentle, and since the ride is slow, it wasn't as scary as I had thought. I was so impressed by the magnificent scenery of the Kualoa mountains that I decided to try again. Last time, I took the two-hour course starting at 3:30 PM, and this time I chose the two-hour course starting at 11:45 AM.

I felt that the course starting at noon had less space for moving around the ranch and a shorter riding time compared to last time. I was wondering, "Did we go to that place last time? Are we turning back here?" The staff was also quiet and didn't engage in much conversation, which made communication minimal. Last time, there were mostly Western students, so it was a cheerful and very enjoyable ride. This time, there were mostly Japanese people, including families and elderly individuals, which might have influenced the staff's approach, but it was quite disappointing. The scenery is truly amazing. I recommend Kualoa for those who are riding horses for the first time.

今回で2回目の参加です。前回乗馬初体験でした。クアロアの馬はとても大人しいですし、ゆっくりライドするので、思っていたほど怖くなかったです。クアロアの山々の雄大な景色に感動したので、再挑戦しました。前回は２時間コースの最終回１５：３０からのコース、今回は2時間コースの11：４５からのコースにしました。
今回のお昼スタートのコースは前回に比べ、牧場内の移動が狭く乗馬時間が短いと感じました。前回はあそこの場所まで行ったよね？ここで引き返すの？と・・・。スタッフも無口でおしゃべりもせず、あまりコミニケーション取ってきませんでした。前回は欧米人の学生達ばかりだったので、陽気でとても楽しいライドだったのですが。今回は日本人ばかりで家族連れやご年配の方が多かったので、そのような対応になったのかもしれませんが、とても残念でした。景色は本当に最高です。初めての乗馬される方はクアロアをおすすめします。

To make it in time for the meeting, we had our optional tour before parasailing shortened, but we ended up waiting about an hour from the meeting time for this optional tour. Other participants arrived normally about 30 minutes after the meeting time, and we couldn't understand why we were given such an early meeting time.

The 180-meter parasailing experience lasted about 10 minutes in the air, and the view was amazing; we even saw a rainbow, which was moving. However, after waiting so long and for this price, it ended up being just 20 minutes total... The instructors were all foreigners and were quite pushy about tips. Considering everything, I don't think I would want to do this again.

集合時間に間に合わせるるため、パラセーリングの前のオプションツアーの時間を巻いてもらったのに、こちらのオプショナルツアーは集合時間から約1時間待たされました。
他の参加者はふつうに集合時間から30分後にぞくぞく来て、自分達だけなぜこんなにはやい時間に集合時間を指定されるのかわかりませんでした。
180メートルのパラセーリングの内容は10分ぐらい空中に浮いて、景色も最高で虹も見れて感動でしたが
こんなに待ってこの値段で計20分で終わり。。。
インストラクターは外人のみでチップの煽りが激しいです。
トータルで考えてもうやりたいとは思いません。

What a great crew!! Cap is so knowledgable and so chill. Me and my friend had a great time here.

I chose a package where we could interact with rays because my second daughter loves them. Suddenly, we were handed snorkeling gear, and my 4-year-old and 7-year-old daughters, along with my 71-year-old mother, all tried snorkeling for the first time in their lives. Floating in a deep pool with swimming fish felt refreshing, as if we were entering a fish world. The sensation of touching the belly of a large ray was unlike that of a dolphin, with an indescribable smoothness. I was also thrilled to see fish swarm around the lettuce I held in my hand.

For those who might feel uneasy about floating in a pool where they can't reach the bottom with just a life jacket, it could be challenging.

次女が「エイ」が大好きなので、エイとも触れ合えるパッケージにしました。
いきなりシュノーケルを渡され、４歳、７歳の娘たちも７１歳の母も人生初シュノーケリングに挑戦。
魚が泳ぐ深いプールにぷかぷか浮かび、魚の世界に入れてもらう感じが新鮮でした。
大きなエイのおなかにタッチした感触は、イルカとも違って、なんともいえない滑らかさ。
手に持ったレタスに魚たちが群がるのにも感激しました。

シュノーケルや足が絶対届かないプールにライフジャケットだけで浮かぶことに抵抗がある方には、難しいかもしれません。

Perfect trip. Short ride out to snorkel, but diverted a few minutes to see dolphins. Snorkeling was great. Instructions for first timers, but we had Done before. My 14 & 17 year olds loved it. Swamnright up to turtles and fish. Hope my underwater pics come out. After about 45 minutes, came aboard for quick lunch and drinks. Then took about an hours sail out past diamond head. Very relaxing on the nets but you will get soaked. Also, I read one review about being uncomfortable and unable to sit in nets??? There were plenty of places to sit elsewhere and out of the spray. Sounds like they may have been on the wrong boat. Anyway, I highly recommend and will maybe do a sunset cruise next time. This 50+ from Georgia had a blast.

My girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time here at Kualoa Ranch. The horses were very well trained, tamed, and talented. This was our first time getting up on horses, and man I looked like Zorro. My girlfriend has such a strong, muscular, and smart horse, and luckily for here his name was Romeo. My horse was named Shay and he was just like me, always hungry. He stopped every ten minutes to eat grass, but I had to let him do it secretively. We had great views of the ocean and the mountain range of Kualoa Ranch, however getting pictures will be hard because you will need to make sure you are 100% focused and attentive of your horse and for your own personal safety. Our guide was great and she even took a couple pictures for me before our tour started. We had an excellent time and would recommend this to anyone.

Yassi our guide was excellent and so much fun, this was a gift from my friend Kathy for my 50th birthday! I've always wanted to do a horseback ride on the beach, & San Diego really didn't have any options, so when we planned our trip to Oahu we had to do this! We googled horse back riding on the beach & picked this one immediately. The ride was relaxing and so pretty, we rode polo ponies and they were beautiful and matched perfectly with us, mine was named Chaser! can't wait to come back & do it again! Aloha & Mahalo

I used this with family and friends. Everyone was excited about diving at a depth we usually can't reach! We even saw sea turtles and rays (*☻-☻*). It was truly amazing!!!

ファミリー＆友人との団体で利用しました。
普段潜ることができないくらいの深さの潜水にみんな興奮！
なんとウミガメもエイも見れました(*☻-☻*)
感激ひとしおです！！！

I made a reservation for my mother, who cannot swim.
It was very cold inside the submarine.
The air conditioning was too strong, and by the end, my aunt felt unwell.
The visibility in the sea was very poor due to the bad weather until recently.
I was able to see two turtles (honu).
I think that was good.

泳ぐことができない、母のために予約をしました。
潜水艦の中は非常に寒いです。
クーラーが効きすぎて、最後の方は伯母は体調が悪くなってしまったほどです。
先日までの悪天候で海の中の透明度が非常に悪かったです。
亀（ホヌ）を2匹見る事ができました。
それはよかったと思います。

Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.

I finally had the long-awaited horseback riding experience. Our guide, Jimmy, was very entertaining, and I enjoyed the ride without getting bored. The itinerary included the tree, Doll Plantation, Haleiwa Town, and horseback riding, but we only stayed at the first two places for about 15 minutes each, and I think we spent around 40 minutes in Haleiwa.

I was a bit anxious about the traffic along the way, worrying that our riding time would be cut short... I thought it might have been fine to skip one of the first three stops.

We managed to arrive safely and met the horses. Inside the van, Jimmy gave us a quick lesson on handling the reins, so we started riding right away! The horses were well-trained, and it was mostly just about enjoying the ride. However, there were some mischievous ones that would wander off to eat grass (I experienced that too). Staff members walked alongside us, giving instructions (like "right" or "loosen up").

We were able to relax by the seaside, in the forest, and back by the sea. The garlic shrimp for lunch at Macky's, which Jimmy recommended, was really delicious.

念願の乗馬体験してきました。
ガイドのジミーさんがとっても面白く、移動中もあきることなく楽しめました。この木なんのき～ドールプランテーション～ハレイワタウン～乗馬と盛り込んでありますが、最初の2か所は15分程度トイレ休憩ぐらいの滞在時間、ハレイワで40分ぐらいだったかな。
途中で渋滞があって乗馬時間が削られるんじゃないかとハラハラ…　これなら最初の3か所どれかなくてもいいんじゃないかと思いました。
なんとか無事に到着し、お馬さんとご対面。　
社内でジミーさんに、手綱さばきをレクチャーしてもらってるのですぐに乗馬スタート！よくできたお馬さん達でほとんど乗ってるだけでOKです。　ただ横道それて草をたべるやんちゃさんもいます（私もやられました）前後にスタッフが追歩してくれますので、指示してくれます（みぎ～とかゆるめる～とか）
海辺～森～海辺とのんびりできました。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプもジミーさんおすすめのマッキーズはとっても美味しかったです。
