A few years ago, I signed up for a "surfing experience" here. This time was my second, but since I'm still almost a beginner, I took a beginner lesson. Because the other participants were late, it ended up being a group lesson for just the two of us, which felt like a private lesson. The instructor was friendly and easy to talk to. My Japanese is at a word level, but it wasn't a problem.
As for surfing itself, the instructor pushed me from behind and helped me with the timing, which made it really easy to ride the waves (though it felt a bit like cheating...). I think they will adjust the lessons as your level improves, so I believe it's a great place.
The receptionist speaks Japanese, so I think it's fine even if you're worried about your English. Next time I go, I definitely want to take a lesson here again.
数年前に1回「体験サーフィン」としてここのを申し込みました。
今回は2回目だけどほぼ初心者ということで初心者用レッスンをしてもらいました。
他の参加者が寝坊?だったために二人でグループレッスン=蝉プライベートでした。
先生は気さくで話をしやすかったです。
日本語は単語レベルですが、問題ありませんでした。
サーフィン自体は、先生が後ろから押してくれて、タイミングを教えてくれるという形なのですごく楽に波に乗れました(インチキですが・・・)。
レベルがあがればそれにあわせて教えてくれると思うので、いいところだと思います。
受付の人は日本語問題ないので、英語に不安があっても大丈夫だと思いますよ。
次回、また行く時にはぜひここでレッスンを受けたいと思いました。

I imagined a ranch like a grassland, but it turned out to be a wilder course with a bit of a mountain path. At the top, I could see the ocean, making it a fun experience. The horses taken care of by the cowgirls were well-trained, and I felt completely at ease riding them. The duration was just right, and I definitely want to come back.
草原のような牧場をイメージしていましたが、ちょっとした山道を登っていく思ったよりワイルドなコースで、頂上では海も見え、楽しい経験となりました。

I signed up at the request of my son, who is learning horseback riding. I thought two hours would be tough for a beginner, but it wasn't that bad. The horse was very gentle, but it occasionally wandered off to eat leaves or took several bathroom breaks, which was amusing. There was a Japanese video before the horseback riding, so I understood the precautions well. We went from a narrow mountain path to a road with a view of the sea, and entering the valley revealed a completely different landscape from the wide-open sea. There were guides about filming locations for movies like Lost, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park, which was enjoyable. However, since all the participants were from English-speaking countries and the staff only spoke English, we felt a bit isolated as we were outside the explanation circle... It seems that half-day or one-day tours have more Japanese participants. It's recommended to book in advance as it's cheaper than signing up directly on-site.
乗馬を習っている息子のリクエストで申込みました。
初心者で2hはキツイかな?と思いましたが、それほどでもなかったです。
馬はとてもおとなしいのですが、時々寄り道して葉っぱを食べてしまったり、何度もトイレタイムになったりして笑えました。
乗馬の前に日本語のビデオがあるので、注意事項はよくわかりました。
細い山道から海の見える道に行って、渓谷に入ると広々とした海とは全く違う風景。
ロストやゴジラ、ジュラシックパークの映画のロケ地の案内があって楽しめます。
ただ、参加者が全員英語圏でスタッフも英語しか話せないので解説の圏外にいた私たちは孤独感・・・

As expected, I felt energized.
It might have been a coincidence, but we had one staff member guiding us for the two of us, so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.
We didn't choose the shuttle service, so we took the city bus, and since I can't speak English, I was nervous about whether we would arrive safely.
I recommend the shuttle service for those who are not confident.
The journey there is also a memorable experience.

I went to a luau show. I wasn't expecting much, as I didn't plan to go all the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I didn't understand the language, it felt like everyone could participate. The final fire dance was breathtaking. The dancers looked like they were having so much fun, which made it enjoyable for us too.
The meeting point was a bit hard to find, and the guidance wasn't sufficient, so I was a bit confused. I paid extra for good seats, but those who got in early were able to sit in the front. To get in early, you should stay a bit away on the Ala Moana side rather than at the meeting point. I think the guidance was provided early.

I think this tour, where you can play with dolphins, is great for dolphin lovers! I went with my kids, and it became a wonderful memory. They were thrilled to swim and have the dolphins push their feet! However, you need to bring a certain amount of money; otherwise, you might miss out on buying souvenir photos or DVDs. I thought it would be better not to bring too many valuables, so I only brought $70, which wasn't enough. You'll also need money to spend on-site.

I applied for the Golden Circle Premium, but I was very disappointed as my seat was in a backstage-like area. I had high expectations for my first luau show. I arrived early, but the ticket exchange was not prioritized, and there were people who already had tickets while others were waiting in line, which was disappointing due to the lack of guidance. It felt like the seating was grouped by foreigners and Japanese. The food was delicious.

I went to Hawaii for the first time.
We rode a boat with about ten people, but everyone except us was speaking in English, which made me a bit anxious. (They provide the minimum necessary information in broken Japanese.)
Also, the return bus pickup was not smooth, and for us who don't understand English, we were somewhat worried, wondering, "When will they come to pick us up?" "Will they even come to pick us up?" "Are we waiting in the wrong place?"
The staff there will take photos of you while parasailing for $30, so if you want photos, it's better to bring some money. (We only had the bare minimum, so we couldn't buy any.)
The parasailing itself was very enjoyable, and I was extremely satisfied!! Next time, I plan to bring enough money to participate properly.
初めてハワイに行きました。
10人ぐらいでボートに乗って海にでるのですが、
私たち以外全員英語で会話をしているので、弱冠不安でした。
(最低限必要な情報は片言の日本語で説明してくれます)
また帰りのバスの迎えもスムーズではなく、英語がわからない私たちにとっては「いつ迎えにくるのだろう?」「そもそも迎えにきてくれるのだろうか?」「待ってる場所が違うのかな?」など多少不安にかられました。
向こうのスタッフがパラセイリング中の写真を$30で撮ってくれるので、写真を希望する方はお金を持って行った方がいいです。(私達は必要最低限のお金しかもっていなかったので、買えませんでした。)
パラセイリング自体はとても楽しく大満足です!!
次回はちゃんとお金を持って、参加しようと思います。

My husband & I are in Oahu in our honeymoon and we saw this and had to book it. The staff is so friendly and helpful! We sat on the nets, which going there was fun and what you would expect, but after snorkeling they take you sailing for a unique look at the island, but beware if you are sitting on the net..you WILL get soaked...but it truly is so much fun! They take you to the reef where turtles go to go their backs cleaned by fish. My recommendation when you swim to watch the turtles is to hang out on the side of the group. Most people will huddle over the turtles, but the have to come up for air, so if you are not in the chunk of people you will get a closer look because they will head your way for air! We saw lots of them and even some baby turtles! The fish in the water are beautiful as well and will swim all around you. I think it is definitely worth the $51! Book today and don't forget your underwater camera like I did!

I participated in the encounter with my husband and our 1 year and 10-month-old daughter. We joined without transportation, but since it was during spring break, we arrived at the park just as the shuttle bus was arriving too. The ticket counter and the package registration counter were overflowing with people. Those who had signed up for transportation probably received some explanation on how to participate in the package, but we managed to navigate through the crowd (laughs) to sign the waiver, purchase a locker token, and change into our swimsuits after borrowing life jackets in the changing area, getting ready for the experience!
We moved to the dolphin pool and received a safety briefing in English from the local staff (they mixed in some broken Japanese), and then it was finally time to enter the pool! At first, my daughter was scared of the larger dolphins, but gradually she started enjoying it while saying "Dolphin!"
Then it was our turn. First, I got to kiss and touch a dolphin. I couldn't help but get excited seeing the smooth, adorable eyes of the dolphin! Next, my husband and daughter went, and despite my worries that she might cry from being too close, she managed to give the dolphin a kiss!!!
The experience of kissing a dolphin was not only memorable for me, but seeing my daughter's joyful face made it even more special.
I would definitely recommend this to our friends' families!☆

They are very non-agressive...they know you are there but they could care less...they just want some crab. I was able to go mid-March during whale watching season and the whales gave us a great show...one actually came out of the water about 100 yards from the boat, it was absolutely breath taking.

I attended this with my husband and son. They are both strong swimmers, but I am not. I've never snorkeled before, and this is not where I should have tried it for the first time. I had a life jacket on, so I knew I was safe, but the water was very deep, and the water had 4-6 foot swells. We had to swim against the current to get to the turtles. The waves were too much for me, I got tired quickly, I was uncomfortable with it being so deep, and the waves so high, so I got back in the boat. My husband and son enjoyed it though, and got up close to the turtles. At one point some spinner dolphins approached the group, but because everyone is looking down, only a few of the swimmers saw them. The leader stayed with the group, and I felt the staff were excellent. After the snorkeling they put up the sail and we took off past Diamond Head, looking for whales. We didnt see any, but we spotted some bottle nose dolphins in the distance. And the ride was fun. The lunch was very basic

I participated in a semi-private lesson with my 11-year-old child. The description states "children who can understand Japanese from age 5 and above," but the application form only displayed a pricing option for "adults aged 14 and above," which raised the question, "Can children participate?" When I inquired by phone, I was told that "for group lessons, we require participants to be 14 years or older." I think it would be better if this information was presented more clearly.
There are Japanese staff members at the office, so you can inquire in Japanese if you have any questions. The lesson coach is a foreigner and does not speak Japanese fluently. However, during the lesson, they provide instructions in simple English and also use Japanese for commands like "right" and "stand up." I think it's okay even if you're not good at English, but it might not be suitable for those who are looking for complete Japanese support.
The lesson content is very kind, and at first, they push out the board at just the right timing, so you can stand on the board relatively quickly. My child doesn't have great athletic ability, but by the third wave, they were able to stand up and had a lot of fun.
I thought the price for the two-hour lesson was a bit high, but since they teach with great care, I would recommend it for complete beginners. For subsequent lessons or for adults only, I think group lessons would be fine.
You cannot bring valuables, but they sell a CD-ROM with lesson photos for $30 afterward.
11歳の子供とふたりでセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。
説明に「5歳以上の日本語が理解できる子供」と書いてあるのですが、申し込みフォームには「14歳以上から大人」という料金選択しか表示されず、「子供も参加できるのか?」という疑問があり電話で問い合わせをしたところ「グループレッスンの場合は14歳以上を求めている」ということでした。もう少しわかりやすい表示があればよいと思いました。
事務所には日本人スタッフがおり、わからないことは日本語で問い合わせをすることができます。レッスンコーチは外国人で、流暢に日本語を話す、というレベルではありません。しかしレッスン自体は簡単な英会話と、「右」とか「立ってー」とかは日本語で指示してくれます。英会話が苦手でも大丈夫だと思いますが、完全に日本語サポートを求めるかたにはむいていないかもしれません。
レッスン内容はとても親切で、最初はちょうどいいタイミングでボードを押し出してくれるのでわりとすぐボードの上に立てるようになります。子供もあまり運動神経がいい方ではありませんが、3回目くらいの波から立ち上がることが出来てとても楽しんでいました。
2時間のレッスン料金としてはすこし高いと思いましたが、とても親身になって教えてくれるので、まったく初めて、という方にはおすすめします。

You won't have time to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!!
The height is the same as the main observation deck of Tokyo Tower...!
Well... if you're looking for a unique experience that you can only get overseas, this is the best.
If you don't mind heights but are a bit hesitant, you should be prepared.
For those with a fear of heights, think carefully (laughs).
Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the roughness of the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the staff take pictures for you.
Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎
It might be worth experiencing at least once.
景色を見る余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃスリリング!!!
最高の高さは東京タワーの大展望台と同じ…!
まあ…海外ならではの経験を求めるならコレはベストだよ。
ただ高い所は嫌いじゃないけどあんまりな~…な人は覚悟した方がいい。
高所恐怖症の人はよく考えて(笑)
酔い止めは必ず!あと、写真やビデオカメラは波の荒れ方によっては撮影不可能だから30ドル用意してお兄さんに写真を撮ってもらうのがいいですよ。
チップも忘れずに。いい写真撮れてた◎
一度は経験してもいいかもね。

I was truly thrilled to be able to touch the dolphins! Sea Life Park may not be very large, but the location overlooking the ocean is wonderful, and if I had more time, I would have loved to relax and gaze at the sea. There were frequent shows happening in various pools, so I felt like I was running towards the cheers. I wish I could have spent a bit more time there.
One disappointing thing was that we participated in the Dolphin Adventure, but we weren't informed that there were two pools. My mother and sister were waiting with a camera at the main pool, but we ended up in the back pool. It would be great if spectators could also join the pre-briefing.
The prices for photos and DVDs were a bit high, which was painful. However, the cuteness of the dolphins made it all worth it. My sister definitely wants to participate next time.
イルカに触れられて本当に感激でした!
シーライフパークはけして広くはないのですが、海を臨むロケーションは素晴らしく時間があればのんびり海を眺めていたいくらいでした。あちこちのプールで頻繁にショーをやっていたので歓声の上がる方へ走っていくといった感じでもう少し時間が取れれば良かったかな。
ひとつ残念だったことに、私たちはドルフィン・アドベンチャーに参加したのですがプールが二つあることを知らされておらず、母と姉がメインプールでカメラを用意して待ち構えてたにもかかわらず…私たちは裏のプールに。
事前説明会には見学者も同行されると良いですね。
ちょっと高めの写真とDVD購入は痛かったです。
でも、イルカさんたちの可愛さで帳消しです。次回は姉も是非参加したいとのことです。
Thank you for using Alan1.net.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your interaction with the dolphins.
Upon checking with Sea Life Park, I learned that participants and observers are usually guided to act together, and explanations are provided. We apologize for the staff's lack of consideration in this instance. We will work with the operating company to improve our services for better guidance.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We look forward to serving you again.

The cost performance is really poor. I had some fun, but it was just okay. It felt like the only thing you could do was touch the dolphins. The Japanese staff's service was also lacking, and there was no guidance on where to check in. I think improvements are needed in terms of service as well.
コストパフォーマンス悪すぎですね。
それなりに楽しめましたが微妙です。
イルカに触れることが出来るだけと言った感じ。
日本人スタッフの対応も悪いし、どこで受付すればよいのかの案内もなく、サービス面でも改善されたほうがよいかと。
