I was really excited to go to Hawaii, but I ended up feeling seasick due to lack of sleep and not feeling well. The waves were really strong, so it's definitely better to take anti-seasickness medication before going! The parasailing itself was a lot of fun, and the view from above was amazing! It does cost money, but we were able to buy the photos of ourselves up in the air, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory!
ハワイにいくからには!と意気込んでいったものの、

Seeing live sharks underwater is truly impressive, even though you know you're safe in the cage.
A group of four American men who happened to be with us were having a blast inside the cage.
It's perfect for experiencing thrills.
However, the distance from Waikiki and the fact that the boat rocks quite a bit are drawbacks.
Live sharks are definitely worth seeing.
檻があるので、大丈夫とはわかっていても、水中で見る生のサメは迫力満点。
たまたま一緒になった4人組のアメリカ人男性は檻の中ではしゃぎまくってました。
スリルを味わうにはもってこい。
但し、ワイキキから距離が遠いことと、船が結構揺れることがネック。
生のサメは一見の価値あり。

We participated in a 90-minute canyon horseback riding tour (morning departure) as a family of three.
My wife and daughter (4th grade) who usually attend a riding club were captivated by the outdoor riding and scenery that they don't usually experience, and even as a first-timer, I felt safe participating. I think this horseback riding experience can be enjoyed by both seasoned riders and beginners.
One point to note is that there are some ups and downs along the way, and the vibrations can be quite noticeable, so those with back pain should be cautious (I was battling back pain partway through). Also, there are no drinks available at the ranch, so it's better to buy some in advance.
The absolute worst part was that the air conditioning on the tour bus was broken. We were crammed into the bus with a large group (our family was in the very back seat), and it was suffocating and extremely hot... I couldn't help but wonder why we had to endure such discomfort after paying for this. It's absolutely unacceptable for a bus in Hawaii to have no air conditioning.
I will never use this tour company again, but the canyon horseback riding was fantastic, so I would like to use a different tour company for horseback riding in the future.
渓谷乗馬90分(午前出発)に家族3人で参加しました。
乗馬クラブに通っている妻と娘(小4)も普段味わえない外乗や景色に魅了され楽しむことができ、初経験の私でも安心して参加することができ、乗馬に慣れた人でも初心者でも楽しめる乗馬だと思います。
注意点としては、途中アップダウンがあり振動が結構伝わるので、腰痛持ちの人は気をつけた方がいいと思います(私は途中から腰痛との闘いでした)。あと、ドリンクは牧場にはありませんので、事前に買っておいた方がいいです。
超最悪だったのは、ツアーバスのエアコンが壊れてたこと。
大人数でバスに詰められ(我が家は一番後ろの席だったのですが)息苦しく、暑くて暑くて…。。お金を払って何でこんな思いをしなければならないのだろう??と。
ハワイのバスでエアコンが効かないなんて…絶対ありえないです。
ここのツアー会社は二度と利用しませんが、渓谷乗馬は最高でしたので別のツアー会社で乗馬は利用したいと思います。

Last year, I challenged myself to North Shore sightseeing and valley horseback riding with my grandchild again this year. Since it was my grandchild's strong wish, we couldn't miss the valley horseback riding when we went to Hawaii.
For sightseeing, we stopped by Moanalua Gardens (famous for "This is the tree, what kind of tree, a tree that piques your interest"), then visited Dole, Haleiwa, and saw turtles basking on the beach before the main event of valley horseback riding. I felt a pleasant fatigue in my body, and for lunch, we had garlic shrimp. It was a day filled with fulfilling activities.
My grandchild said that we absolutely can't miss this activity again next year. Riding alone on horseback, which is not something you can experience often, was enjoyable.
昨年に続き、今年もノースショアー観光と渓谷乗馬に孫とともにチャレンジしました、孫のたっての願だったのでハワイに行ったら渓谷乗馬ははずせません。
観光についてはモアナルアガーデン(この~木何の木、気になる木でおなじみ)立ち寄り、その後、ドール、ハレイワ、海岸で亀の甲羅干しを見て本番の渓谷乗馬、心地よい疲労感を体に感じ、昼食はガーリックシュリンプ、一日充実したアクティビティーが味わえました。
孫も、来年もまたこのアクティビティーは絶対はずせないとのこと、なかなか味わえない一人で乗る乗馬は楽しかったです。

We enjoyed a submarine tour with our family of four, which was a first for my elderly mother and something we can't experience in Japan.
We took the earliest tour at 8:00 AM. There were only 14 participants on the 64-seat submarine.
According to our guide, when there are so few participants, everyone can sit on one side, allowing us to see areas that are usually not visible from one side. This made for a unique and enjoyable tour. It felt like a lucky coincidence.
We were able to see turtles, sharks, and many fish. Unlike an aquarium, I definitely recommend this for children.
The boat ride to and from the submarine was also not crowded, so we had time to leisurely browse souvenirs, which led to some great memories as I ended up buying quite a few things.
On the return boat, we even had the chance to take commemorative photos with the captain.

全員を片側に座ってもらい、

This was my first time parasailing, i was terrified. The crew memebers were friendly, and patient with us(i wasnt listening very well because i was scared). They set us up, explained, and helped out with everything. i switched my ride from 400ft to 800ft before i went on, and they set us up, and even pulled us down when i yelled for them to.
It was a good experience, even though i was terrified. Also, they took tons of pictures while people were up there, and i really liked the fact you got your SD card.

I went to the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at Hilton Hawaiian Village. First, when I arrived at the meeting time, I took a commemorative photo with one of the dancers (which will later be sold at the table for $25 each). There were quite a few people, and then we all headed to the venue.
We took the elevator up to the venue, which is set up on the rooftop of the parking lot. It was past 5:30 PM, but it was really bright. Sunglasses are a must. As soon as we arrived, drinks were served, and for a while, they drew temporary tattoos on our hands with a pen, but I was a bit confused since I didn't understand English very well.
After that, people in the higher seats could go get their food. Those in the regular seats had to wait in line quite a bit to get their dishes. The show was a bit lacking in excitement if you don't understand English. My 5-year-old daughter got bored, but my 8-year-old daughter enjoyed it quite a bit.
Drinks are limited to two per person, but you can order more. There are also kids' meals available, but my children were fine with the adult portions. The foreign ladies were really excited about the male dancers!
In any case, I think it's a good idea to bring sunglasses and enjoy the atmosphere.
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの「ワイキキスターライトルアウ」へ行ってきました。
まずは、当日、集合時間にいくと、ダンサー?!の方と記念写真をパチリ(これは後で、テーブルに1枚25$で販売にきます)。結構な人数で、そのあとゾロゾロと会場へ。
会場へは、エレベータを使ってのぼっていきます。
駐車場の屋上!?に、設置。
時間は17:30過ぎですが、まぶしいです。サングラスは必須。つくと、すぐにドリンクがでて、そのあとはしばらく、手にペンでタトゥーみたいに書いてくれたり、とあるのですが、いかんせん、英語がよくわからないと一瞬!?となりました。
そのあと、高い席のヒトから食事をとりにいけます。普通の席の方々は、結構、料理をとるのに並ばないといけない感じです。ショーは、英語がわからないとやはり、、ノリは今一つ。5歳の次女はあきていましたが、8歳の長女は結構楽しんでいました。
ドリンクは2つまでセットされていますが、追加は可能です。あと、キッズ用の食事もありますが、うちの子供たちは大人用でOKでした。
外人のおばさまがたは、男性のダンサーの方々に大盛り上がり!
いずれにしても、サングラスをもっていって、雰囲気含め楽しんでかと思います。

We participated in the Dolphin Encounter with our son, and my husband and I acted as photographers. The encounter had a Japanese-speaking guide, and it seemed like everyone was having fun touching the dolphins, getting kisses, and high-fiving them. However, since there were many participants in each session and everyone wanted to get kisses and high-fives, the waiting time felt long.
I thought it would be nice if they could reduce the number of participants or bring out another dolphin to improve the experience.
In the same pool, they were also doing the Royal Swim, which involved holding onto the dorsal fins of two dolphins and swimming about 10 meters, as well as being pushed along by their feet for another 10 meters. Again, since everyone was doing these two activities, the waiting time felt long.
Since I had visited before, I skipped the dolphin show as it seemed the same. Instead, we had lunch while it was still quiet. On our last day in Hawaii, we ended with a classic American hamburger. Well, the taste was decent.
ドルフィンエンカウンターに息子を参加させ夫婦でカメラマンをしました。
エンカウンターは日本後の説明員がつき、イルカにさわれたり、キスされたり、ハイタッチをしたりと楽しそうでした。ただ、1回の参加人数が多く、全員がキスやハイタッチをするので、待っている間が長かった気がします。
人数を減らすかイルカをもう一頭出すなどの工夫があればなとおもいました。
同じプールではロイヤルスイムをやっていましたが、これも2頭の背びれをつかんで10mくらい泳ぐのと、足の裏を押してもらってこちらも10m位進むのの2つを皆でやるので待ち時間が長いな~と思いました。
一度以前に訪れていたので、イルカショーは同じようだったのでパス。その代わり空いているうちにお昼を食べました。ハワイ最後の日だったので、アメリカらしくハンバーガーでしめました。ま、味はそこそこかな?

It wasn't like running through a grassland; it felt more like going through a Western-style wilderness.
It was refreshing to add this to the activities that were mostly by the sea. The horses were calm and cute. They followed the horse in front of them in a line, so it was easy even if you didn't have to control them. It might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to run fast.
There is no shuttle service, so you have to get there on your own. The landmarks are not very big, so it's necessary to inform the bus driver that you want to get off. Also, for the return trip, it's wise to check the bus schedule since there is only one bus per hour and wait at the ranch.
草原を走るようなイメージではなく、ウエスタンのような荒野を行く感じでした。
海ばかりのアクティビティにプラスするには、新鮮でよかったです。馬もおとなしくてかわいかったです。自分で操作しなくても一列になって前の馬について行ってくれるので、楽でした。早く走りたいかたには物足りないかもしれません。
送迎なしなので、現地まで自分たちで行かなければなりません。目印がそこまで大きくないので、バスの運転手さんに降りる旨を伝えておく必要があります。また、帰りは一時間に一本のバスに乗るため時間を調べておいて、牧場で待つほうが賢明です。

We participated in a 1.5-hour tour with three family members. First, the location of the ranch was hard to find (it turned out that if you drive from Honolulu, you can only see the entrance sign from the opposite direction), and I think we were able to navigate the narrow mountain road during the daytime. We showed our voucher at a small hut marked "office" to check in. After receiving instructions on how to ride the horse (which can mostly be understood through gestures), we were off.
Since it all depends on the horse's mood, if you fall behind the line, you might be urged to hurry along. Sometimes, the horses can suddenly start running as if they are being charged. This adds a thrill, but it can also be a bit scary. Overall, it was a fun experience, but the bumpy paths with ups and downs might feel a bit hard for beginners.
家族3人で1.5時間のツアーに参加しました。
まず、牧場の位置がわかりづらく(ホノルルから車で行くと入り口の看板が逆方向からしかわからないと判明しました)且つ山道のような一本道を信じて進んでいくのは昼間なのでできたかと思います。
officeと書かれた小屋で受付のバウチャーを見せて完了。馬の乗り方の説明を受けて(ほとんどゼスチャーでわかります。)いざ出発です。
何せ馬のご機嫌次第ですので列から離れて遅れると急げとばかりに走らされます。馬的にはチャージさせられていきなり走ることもあります。ここでスリルがありますが怖いといえば怖いかもです。
全体には楽しく過ごせますが、でこぼこ道が大半でアップダウンですので初心者には少しハードかなと感じました。

I decided on this option after seeing the photo of two people side by side. There were a total of seven participants: two elementary school students and five adults, along with another group of four Japanese families on board. At first, the two elementary school students and one adult flew together. I was impressed that three people could sit side by side, and the view from above was refreshing. I thought the remaining two adults would fly in pairs for two more turns, but unexpectedly, four of us flew together: three adults and one more person behind. The person in the back hardly had their face captured in the photo that was taken, and the view was said to be poor. Even though the wind conditions were the same, the next family that flew consisted of one average-sized adult and one child, and they flew in two separate turns. I felt quite disappointed.
横並びの2人乗りの写真をみてこちらに決めました。小学生二人と大人5人、計7人の参加、他には日本人の親子連れ4人の乗船でした。最初は小学生2人と大人1人で飛びました。3人横並びもできるんだ、と感心しながら上からの眺めは爽快、そして次は残る大人2人ずつ2回だろう思っていたら、なんと大人3人とその後ろにもう1人の4人で。後ろの1人はせっかくとってっもらった写真にもほとんど顔は写っていないし、眺めも悪かったそうです。風の様子は同じだったのに、次にとんだもう一組の家族連れは普通体型の大人1人と子供1人ずつで2回にわけて飛んでました。かなり残念に思いました。

First, when I arrived at the venue, I was given a welcome flower lei to wear around my neck. After that, I enjoyed a Mai Tai while taking food from the buffet as I watched the show. The drinks included one free Mai Tai and another drink, and after that, you order with a prepaid system. The show featured classic performances like singing, Polynesian dance, and fire dance. The roast beef was delicious. Considering the price, it felt reasonable, though perhaps a bit on the expensive side.

When I inquired via email whether it was okay not to speak English at the time of booking, I was told, "Don't worry, we will provide a Japanese instruction manual in advance." However, there was no guidance in Japanese at all. Upon being picked up, I was only asked to sign a sheet with a list of participants, which included only Japanese participants (other foreign participants had a book with explanations and a consent form). As soon as we arrived at the sea, we were immediately taken onto the boat and set off without understanding what was happening.
Even after departure, the explanations were only in English, and I was completely lost... I felt anxious as I could only rely on gestures and broken phrases. Moreover, although two women participated, we were forced to have a man who came alone placed between us, resulting in an awkward atmosphere in the air. I was really glad I didn't ask for any photos.
While parasailing itself was very interesting, I don't think I will use this tour company again.

Thank you very much for using Alan1.net.
Regarding the Japanese instruction manual, I sincerely apologize for the incorrect prior notice that may have caused you anxiety.
The reason for having three participants instead of the two you signed up for is that on the day of the event, the wind was strong and the atmosphere at altitude was unstable. With two women, it would have been difficult to maintain balance and could have been dangerous. Therefore, we made this adjustment for safety reasons. I apologize for the lack of explanation and for your participation under these circumstances. However, we prioritize your safety, and we hope you can understand that such situations may arise.

If you can, having a pick-up service would be easier. It was quite a walk from Ala Moana Center, and there are many similar shops, so we ended up being a bit late.
By the way, both my friend and I are slim, so it was a bit dangerous, and we rode with the foreigner, making it three of us. Joining with a group of friends could be fun.
他のかたのレビューで頂上で吐いたと読みましたが、気持ちがよくわかりました。酔い止め飲んでもかなり辛かったー。一緒になった外国人さんは平気そうでした。
写真は日本人の方が一緒になれば取り合いっこでもいいような出来かもしれません。レンズ覗いて撮ってないから笑。
できれば送迎付きの方が楽です。アラモアナセンターから歩いたら結構とおくて、しかもいくつも似たようなお店があるから、少し遅れちゃいました。
ちなみに、私も彼も細いので、危ないからと、外国人さんと3人乗りしました。3人組のお友達なんかの参加は楽しいかも。
