Attended this hike as a family with small children (ages 4&7) and this was a perfect morning outing! The hike was paved and only a moderate incline, and the views along the way up and from the top are remarkable!
Unfortunately the tides were not perfect for the blowhole to really be going, but we did get to see some spray and the kids enjoyed it as well.
Overall, a very professionally run operation with great pickup and dropoff services. The hike was a nice way to get out and see other sights!

I went during the New Year. It was New Year's Day. It was the first tour of the morning. On the way, we were able to see whales. The boat circled around the area where the whales were, and I was excited as we kept following the whales. I was thrilled because I had hoped for whale watching rather than a submarine tour. The submarine was also fun with sharks, turtles, and colorful fish.
お正月に行ってきました。
元旦です。
朝一番のツアーでした。
行きにクジラを見ることができました。
船もクジラが居る付近をぐるりと輪を描くように回ってくれてズーっとクジラを追うような感じで興奮しました。
私は潜水艦よりクジラウォッチングを希望していたので感激でした。
潜水艦もサメ・カメ・魚色とりどり楽しかったです。

We had no idea what to do the last day of our vacation, I am so glad the staff at Hawaiiactivities.com mentioned "Well why don't you guys do some Parasailing!"... this activity totally reeked of AWESOMENESS!!
This was my wife's first time parasailing, she screamed, but she loved it!. We had a terriffic time! The crew was great and even let my wife drive the boat around the Waikiki Coastline.

The highlight of my trip was definitely kissing the dolphins—it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Also surprisingly fun was getting splashed during the dolphin show when the dolphins jumped. While you can experience this at aquariums in Japan now, being splashed from several meters above is a whole different level of excitement!
And the photo is of the dolphin stroller... this is also super popular with the kids (make sure to leave an ID when you borrow it, and don't forget to get it back when you return it!).
一番の目的だったイルカさんとキッスは一生もんですよ!
それと意外におもしろかったのはイルカショウのイルカのジャンプにあわせて思いっきり水をかぶるところ。 最近は日本の水族館でも体験できるけど、数mも上からかぶるのは迫力がかなり違いますよ! それと写真はイルカのベビーカー・・・これも子供達に大人気(借りる際は身分証明書を預ける。帰りに証明書を返してもらうのを忘れずに!)

We participated in a New Year's Eve luau show with a total of nine people, including my husband's parents and my family. It was a really lovely spot by the lagoon where we could see the sunset, which was different from our usual experiences.
The show's excitement captivated my one-year-old son, who even started dancing. My parents also moved closer to the stage and seemed to have a great time.
As for the buffet, it included traditional Hawaiian dishes and sushi rolls, making it easy for everyone from children to the elderly to enjoy. However, I wouldn't say the taste was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, the staff's efficiency wasn't very good, and we had to wait quite a while from gathering to getting to our dining seats, which was tough for my son.
Overall, I think it was a good experience since we were able to enjoy it as a family.
夫の両親、私の家族合計9名で大晦日のルアウショーに参加しました。普段とはちがいラグーンサイドでの、夕陽が見えるとっても素敵な場所でした。
ショーの迫力は1歳になる息子も興味しんしんで、踊りだすほど。私の両親もステージ近くまで移動し、相当楽しめた様子でした。
ブッフェの味と内容ですが、ハワイの伝統的な食事や海苔巻もあり、子供からお年寄りまで食べやすいものでした。お味は、感動的とまでは言えません。
ただ、スタッフの手際があまり良くなかったのか、集合から、食事の席までかなりの時間並び、息子には辛かったです。
総合的には、家族で楽しめたので良かったと思います。

I participated in the encounter with my 6-year-old child. Since it was January, I was concerned about the water temperature and chose the 11 AM session, but even then, the water felt a bit cold.
At first, the dolphins were not in a good mood, and every time a few people in the group kissed or shook hands, there were breaks and dolphin changes. However, despite the time running over, everyone was able to kiss and shake hands properly.
There was a 2-year-old child in the same group who was scared and cried the whole time. The dolphin's sounds and splashes seemed to frighten him, and the staff worked hard to calm him down, but unfortunately, he ended up crying until the end and couldn't touch the dolphin. I think it would be better for very timid children to be informed beforehand that dolphins are not scary before participating.
Sea Life Park is a very beautiful aquarium, and all the signs are written in Japanese, so it's a comfortable place for families with children to enjoy. Additionally, you can enjoy various wonderful views on the round-trip tour bus that you can't see in Waikiki.
6歳の子供と一緒にエンカウンターに参加しました。
1月だったので、水温が気になり11時からの回にしましたが、
それでも少し水温は冷たく感じられました。
はじめはイルカの機嫌が悪く、グループの数人がキスをしたり握手をしたりするたびに、
休憩が入ったりイルカの交代があったりしましたが、
時間が押してもきちんと全員キスをしたり握手をしたりできました。
同じグループの中に怖くてずっと泣いている2歳くらいのお子さんがいましたが、
イルカは鳴き声やバタ足が怖いそうで、スタッフの方が一生懸命泣きやまそうとしていましたが、
残念ながら結局最後まで泣きやまず、触る事ができなかったようです。
あまり怖がりのお子様には、事前にイルカが怖くないことを説明してあげてから参加した方が良いと思います。
シーライフパークはとても綺麗な水族館で、標識もすべて日本語で書いてあるので、子供連れには安心して楽しめます。
また往復のツアーバスの中で、ワイキキでは見られないような素敵な景色もいろいろと楽しめます。

Hawaiian traditional feast "LUAU."
This time, I participated on New Year's Eve.
The luau here is very accessible since it's located in Waikiki, so you can feel safe even without transportation.
Additionally, from the lagoon venue, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
Last time, I attended another luau held in a location farther from Waikiki, but unlike that one, there were no attractions we could participate in (like lei making or games), and the setup was more about enjoying a buffet-style meal while watching the show.
In terms of experiencing a luau for the first time, I think this is a luau that you can enjoy easily with its accessibility and food.
I definitely recommend this activity for anyone visiting Hawaii!
ハワイ伝統の宴「LUAU」。
今回は大晦日の夜に参加しました。
ここのルアウは、ロケーションもワイキキ内なため、とても行きやすく送迎がなくても安心です。
また、会場であるラグーンからは、ちょうどサンセットが綺麗に見えます☆
前回はワイキキから離れた場所で開催されている、他のルアウに参加したのですが、そちらのように自分たちが参加できるアトラクション(レイメイキングやゲーム等)はなく、ショーを観ながらビュッフェスタイルの食事を楽しむ構成になっていました。
初めてのルアウを体験するという意味では、アクセスのし易さや食事等、気軽に楽しめるルアウだと思います。
是非ハワイを訪れた人には体験してもらいたいアクティビティです♪

It was OK. No transportation goes to this activity to start with, so you have to rent a car to get there. They ask you to be the 1/2 hour early, but there is no good reason why because they tell you to go take a walk and are late anyway. The reason you need to bring a swim suit is to use their pool. It has nothing to do with the ride which is nose to tail and they not only would not late us take a camera but never volunteered to take any for us. The woman who seemed to run the tour had no personality at all. But the scenery was awesome :)

I was really happy that everyone received a lei when we signed up for the premium seats.
The show featured powerful fire dancing by male dancers, and since we were in the front row, we could feel the heat from the flames.
It's enjoyable for everyone, from small children to grandparents!
Before the show started, the dancers even drew pictures with magic markers for the children who wanted to imitate their tattoos.

The Hilton Hotel is very spacious, and I got quite lost trying to find the meeting place. I wish they had provided a clearer map or something similar.
The show itself was enjoyable, and the food was delicious. I chose the Golden Circle seats, and they guided us from those seats to the buffet, so I’m glad I opted for this seating. The people in other sections had to wait in long lines.
ヒルトンホテル内がとても広くて、集合場所が分からずかなり迷いました。もうすこし分かりやすく地図なども入れてくれればいいなと思いました。

The hotel also had many shops, and I enjoyed shopping on the way back♪

My granddaughters and I went for the trail ride in November 2011 and were more excited about this activity than any other we were doing. We were told to be there 1/2 hour early and we were, but we had to wait, not only for other people, but for the instructors who said it was just because they were laid back. We then had to go through 1/2 hour of lecturing about the horses being athletes and spooked very easily and exactly how to do and not do EVERYTHING - from how to hold your hands almost to how to breath so you didn't spook these magnificent animals. We were not allowed to take cameras because the click of the camera may spook them and we were never offered the opportunity for anyone to take photos of us riding anywhere - especially on the beach. The unpleasant female who did all these instructions never came out of her funk. When we finally rode, the horses walked nose to tail and very slowly and never showed any signs of spunk or being spooked by anything. When we were done,

The location is great, and the horse training is very well done, so the horses are calm and you can enjoy trail riding with peace of mind.
At first, we did a 90-minute family trail ride at a walk. Other beginner families also participated, and we were able to enjoy it safely and happily.
Next, we went for a canter and encountered many horses and cows while they were grazing. Advanced riders can also enjoy this experience.
There are no vending machines here, so I think it's better to bring your own drinks.
It was a ranch where you can experience the authentic atmosphere of an American farm. It was nice and simple since it hasn't been commercialized as a tourist spot.
ロケーションも良く、また馬の調教もとても良くできていて、馬もおとなしいので安心して外乗できます。
初めはファミリーで常足外乗90分しました。他の初心者のファミリーも参加しましたが安全に楽しくできました。
続いてキャンター外乗しましたが、放牧中のたくさんの馬や牛と出会いました。上級者の方も楽しめます。
ここは自販機が無いので飲料を持参するほうが良いと思います。
アメリカの素の牧場の雰囲気を味わえるRANCHでした。観光地化されていない分、素朴で良かったです。

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to have an experience I had never had before, so I signed up. However, I wasn't sure how I would be able to interact with the dolphins, so I chose a beginner's course. I was thrilled to be able to kiss and shake hands with the dolphins! It was such an emotional experience to see dolphins up close like that. We just had to stand, so it was fine for both adults and children, even those who can't swim. However, since the dolphins move according to the trainer's instructions, it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to interact more. Next time, I would like to join a course where I can hold onto their dorsal fins and swim with them.
初めてのハワイだったので、今までしたことのない経験をしたいと思って申し込みました。ただ、どのようにイルカと触れ合えるのかわからなかったので初心者向けのコースにしました。イルカとキスしたり、握手したりすることができて感激!こんなに間近でイルカを見る機会はないのでとても感動しました。私たちは立っていれば良いので、大人でも子供でも泳げない人でも大丈夫です。ただ、イルカはトレーナーの指示で動くのでもっと触れ合いたい人にはちょっと物足りないかもしれません。次回は背びれにつかまって泳げるコースに参加したいと思いました。

This was a lesson in English. I mistakenly made a reservation for an English lesson instead of a Japanese one...
The other participants were also foreigners, and I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but it was really fun.
The instructor helped us catch the waves properly. Even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up, and I'm glad I signed up.
Since it was a male instructor, I think he was especially kind to the women (laughs).
They took a lot of photos during surfing, and those who wanted could buy them on a DVD-R for $30. Tips are separate, and there is a tip box after the lesson.
There were two instructors, but the one who said he was from California was particularly very kind and cool.
The rainbow I saw while being rocked by the waves was beautiful and became a wonderful memory.
