Nick was AWESOME! We went as a family (child age 11) and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Just go ahead and fly!

The captain and the staff are filled with the desire to share this refreshing experience.

Depending on the situation, regarding the key weight of 80kg, we were able to clear it together as a group of three (parent + child + child) and fly together.

とりあえず飛んでください！

キャプテン始めスタッフは、この爽快感を是非共有したいという想いに満ちています。

状況にもよりますが、鍵となる80kgに関しては、私たちは3人(親+子+子)合計でクリアして一緒に飛ばせていただきました。

It was the best experience. Even if you're not good at English, you can enjoy it, and if you're not good with heights, it's not a problem. I think it's an activity that you can easily experience since you don't have to get into the seawater.

最高の体験でした。英語が苦手でもたのしめますし高所が苦手でも問題ありませんでした。海水に浸かることもなかったので気軽に体験できるアクティビティだと思います。

It was an early morning participation, but the weather was nice, and the driver was very lively and engaging. We returned on time and made it to the hotel breakfast. It was great. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing.

早朝参加でしたが、天気も良く、ドライバーさんもとても元気にお話ししてくれました。帰りも時間通りでホテルの朝食にも間に合いました。とても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドからの朝日最高でした。

I was able to experience horseback riding for a long time.
There was one guide for our group of six, who led us from the front and supported us from the back.
I thought the horses were smart as they remembered the path.
Along with the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, I was able to thoroughly enjoy horseback riding, to the point where my butt and knees started to hurt.

長時間乗馬を経験できました
6人のグループに1人のガイドの方がついてくれて、前を率いたり、後ろからサポートしてくれたりしました
馬が道を覚えており、頭が良いなと思いました
ハワイの美しい景色とともに、しっかりと乗馬を楽しむことができ、おしりと膝が痛くなったくらいです

I enjoyed my first parasailing experience. The captain and crew were fun, and even though there were times when I struggled to understand their English, they playfully pointed it out. Parasailing was amazing with the blue ocean stretching below me; it felt incredible! I definitely want to experience it again!

初パラセーリングを楽しみました。
キャプテンとクルーの方々楽しくて、うまく英語が聞き取れないところがあって動作がもたもたした所があったのですが、そこを面白く突っ込んでくれたりしました。
パラセーリングは眼下に青い海が広がり凄く気持ちよかったです！
また体験したいと思います！

It was a truly wonderful experience! Honestly, it was expensive, but it created the best memories.

We signed up for a two-hour horseback riding experience with transportation for three people aged 70, 41, and 13. We gathered at 7:30 and boarded the bus, which was supposed to arrive 45 minutes before the activity, but we got there just a few minutes before 9:00. I was worried about not being able to participate, but we were told to wait on a bench, and the staff called our names and handed us a paper with the activity details. Then we moved to another location where they explained each area in English, and it felt like we were dismissed. I thought it was easy to understand since the reception areas were visible from where we were.

We went directly to the horseback riding reception, signed in, and the staff helped us choose our horses. Everything went smoothly, and we even had time to use the restroom. The restroom was a portable one, but it was spacious and relatively clean. There was a sign saying not to flush the toilet paper, but I realized that after I had flushed it.

The horses were truly intelligent, following the path perfectly at a good speed. We rode through the shade of trees and could see the ocean, arriving at a meadow where we could see those amazing mountains. The guide had a reaction that seemed quite rare, as my horse suddenly lowered its posture and lay down in that meadow. I jumped off when it lowered itself and moved away a bit, so I wasn't injured, but it rolled on its back as if scratching itself and quickly stood up. The guide repeatedly said sorry and checked if I was okay. I realized that even the smartest animals can behave unpredictably, so it's important to keep that in mind. However, my mother in her 70s, who I was most worried about, was able to enjoy the experience until the end and said she was really glad she did it without any physical issues!

After horseback riding, I gave the guide a tip of $100, which might seem small compared to the experience fee of over $90, but I thought it was appropriate to follow local customs.

We finished around 11:30 and looked at photos of the actors before heading to buy lunch. There was already a long line, and we waited nearly 30 minutes after ordering. Our bus was scheduled to leave at 1:00, so we only had a little time to eat and took the rest back to the hotel. We had been talking about having plenty of time, but in the end, it was a bit rushed.

A photographer in a buggy took pictures of each of us as soon as we started riding. Each photo was $20. The buggy could accommodate four people, and the price was the same. Payment by card was available. By the way, I was able to ride with a North Face body bag attached to my waist. Even those without bags could borrow pockets on the saddle for drinks or smartphones.

In our group of six, consisting of my daughter, mother, myself, and three others, we lined up in that order, so I ended up with many photos of the backs of the two in front of me. Although I managed to take some photos while turning back as we got used to it, I only have about three mediocre photos of myself. I regret not trying harder to ask the guide to take at least one family photo, even if it was a long shot. By the way, we didn’t go to any locations with signs that clearly indicated they were filming sites for movies. I think the people on the bus went to those places.

Being able to experience horseback riding while seeing the magnificent scenery, which is different from Japan, was the best memory of my long-held dream. I think everyone should try it at least once.

とても良い経験となりました！正直高いですが、最高の思い出です。


09:30〜の乗馬２時間体験送迎付に70歳、41歳、13歳の3人で申し込みました。07:30の集合でバスに乗り込み、アクティビティの45分前までに着くようにと記載ありますが、着いたのが09:00数分前。
もしこれで参加できなかったらどうしようと不安でしたが、ベンチで待つよう言われ、受付の方が名前を呼びアクティビティ記載の紙を渡す→場所移動→英語で各場所の説明？をされ、解散みたいな感じでした。各受付はその場から見える範囲にあるのでわかりやすいと思いました。
私達はそのまま乗馬の受付にいき、サインしてスタッフが馬を選んでくれたりの流れでした。バタバタする事もなく、トイレにもいけました。トイレは簡易トイレですが、広く割と綺麗でした。トイレットペーパーは流さないでと張り紙がありましたが、流した後に気づきました。

馬は本当に賢くて、速度も道順もバッチリです。木陰を進み海が見えてきて、あの凄い山々が見える草原？広場？に到着です。
こんなことは滅多にないような反応をガイドさんがしてましたが、私の馬がその広場で急に姿勢を低くし、寝っ転がりました。私は低くなった時に飛び降り少し離れたので怪我等なかったですが、寝転がり背中をカイカイみたいにモゾモゾしてすぐ立ち上がりました。
ガイドさんに何度もsorryと言われ、怪我はないか？の確認もされました。どんなに賢くても生き物なのでこういった事も起こり得るという事は忘れずにいた方がいいと実感しました。
でも1番心配していた70代の母も最後まで体験でき、体の不調もなく本当にしてよかった！と言っています。

乗馬後、9万超えの体験料のチップとしては少ないかもですが、100ドルをガイドさんにお渡ししました。
それでも私にとっては高いですが、郷に入れば郷に従えでお渡ししました。

終わったのが11:30頃で俳優さんの写真等を見てから昼食を買いに行きました。既に長蛇の列で、注文してからも30分近く待ちました。13:00発のバスで15分前集合でしたので、ほんの少しだけ食べ後は持ち帰り、ホテルで食べました。割と時間あるねーなんて話していたのに結果最後はバタバタでした。

バギーに乗ったカメラマンさんが、乗馬始まってすぐ1人ずつ写真を撮ってくださいました。
これは１枚20ドルでした。バギーは一台で4人家族とかで写っていて同じ値段でした。カード払いできます。
ちなみに写真にうっていますが、ノースフェイスのボディバックを腰につけては乗馬可能でした。カバンがない人でも飲み物とかスマホ等は鞍？につけるポケットを貸してもらえるので大丈夫です。

娘、母、私と他３名の6人グループで、この順番に一列になって進んで行ったので、2人の後ろ姿ばかりの写真が多く、途中慣れてきて後を振り返っての写真も撮れましたが、私の写真は微妙な写真が３枚程度です。ガイドさんにダメ元でも家族の写真を１枚でも撮ってもらう様に頑張って話しかけたらよかったと、そこだけ後悔しています。
ちなみに、乗馬では映画のロケ地だとパッとわかるような看板等には行きません。バスに乗ってる方々がそーゆーところに行かれてたのかと思います。

日本とは違う壮大な景色を見ながら長年の夢だった乗馬体験をできた事は最高の思い出です。
一度は体験してほしいと思います。

There was a reservation issue when checking in on-site. However, they were very kind and thanks to them, I had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff during the tour were also very friendly and helped to relax the nervous children. This trip to Hawaii has undoubtedly become my best memory!

現地でチェックインする時に予約のトラブルが発覚。しかし、とても親切に対応してくださり、お陰様で最高に素敵な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
ツアー中のスタッフさんもとても気さくで、緊張気味な子供たちを上手にリラックスさせてくれました。
今回のハワイ旅行で、間違いなく1番の思い出となりました！

We were captivated by the beautiful nature, and it was a comfortable horseback riding trail. The staff accompanied us with care, allowing our family, even as beginners, to enjoy it with peace of mind.

美しい自然に魅了され、快適な乗馬の散歩道でした。スタッフの方が丁寧に同行してくださり初心者の我が家もみんな安心して楽しめました

Cirque du Soleil was something I had only seen in Japan, and it had been a while. They incorporate comedic elements, so it never gets boring. Small children might be scared of the lighting and atmosphere.

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユは日本で見たのみで久しぶりでした。
お笑い要素も入れてくるので、飽きません。
小さい子供は照明と雰囲気に怖がる可能性あり。

The dolphins were incredibly cute. You can interact with them more than I expected (though about ten people take turns). There is quite a wait time from when you enter until you actually get to interact with the dolphins. Since they are living creatures, their condition may vary... Small children (around 5 to 6 years old) can't reach, so parents need to support them. All the explanations are in English, but they also speak a little Japanese.

You can't bring any belongings, but a dedicated photographer will take pictures for you, and you can get one photo at the end from the shop. Additional purchases are also possible.

イルカがとにかく可愛かったです。思ってたよりたくさん触れあえます。（とはいえ、10人くらいが順番に）
入場してから実際にイルカと触れあうまではけっこう待ち時間あります。
生き物ですから、コンディションもあるのでしょう…
小さい子供（5歳～6歳くらい）は足が届かないので親が支えなければいけません。
説明は全て英語ですが、ちょっと日本語も話してくれます。

荷物は何も持っていけませんが、専属カメラマンが写真を撮ってくれ、最後１枚だけショップでもらえます。
追加で購入も可能です。

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a wonderful experience. Even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine.

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが素晴らしい経験をさせてもらいました。英語が喋れなくてもなんとかなります。

The waiting time is longer than expected. The movement is somewhat bumpy. (I found it thrilling and fun!) As for the viewing...

待ち時間が思いの外、長いです。
移動はまぁまぁ揺れます。(僕はスリリングで楽しかったです！)鑑賞は・・・。

My family enjoyed the 1 hour boat ride and 15 minute parasail experience. The guides were safety oriented but also playful. The optional photo package for $40 is nice to have (80 photos + you get the SD Card).

The day we went, the weather was so nice. There were two other families on the boat and everyone had fun.

Expected to be “dipped” into the ocean.
Expect to have a great day!

It was a good experience overall - the plan they had with placed item was very helpful

It is located in a private area with a gate. You will need a passcode to open the gate, which will be sent to you via email.

It takes longer to reach the location than what is shown on Google Maps after entering the private area.

Horseback riding is suitable for beginners. There will be a simple lecture at the beginning, all in English, but it's okay if you're not proficient in English.

You will pass through hilly areas and arrive at an open spot where you can see the ocean. They took pictures there.

At the end, you can feed your horse by hand.

The horses have names inspired by Hawaii. The horse that my family rode was named Aloha.

現地プライベート地区にあり、ゲートがあります。ゲートを開けるのに暗証番号が必要になります。番号はメールに来ます。

プライベート地区に入ってから現地に着くまで、Googleマップに表示されてるより、時間がかかります。

乗馬は初心者でも大丈夫です。初めに簡単なレクチャーがあります、全部英語ですが、英語が得意で無くても問題ありません。

アップダウンある所を通り、海が見える開けた場所にでます。そこで写真を撮ってくれました。

最後は自分の乗った馬に手でフードをあげる事が出来ます。

馬の名前はハワイにちなんだ名前が付いてます。家族の乗った馬はアロハでした。

The local guides were also very kind. The water was so clear that we could see various fish. There were whales further out, and we could see them a little. After diving, we could also see the boat going down for the next group to take their turn.

現地ガイドの人たちも親切でした。
海の透明度が高いので色々な魚を見ることができました。
沖の方には鯨がいて少し見えました。潜水後は次の人たちと交代するため、船が潜水していく様子も見られます。

My first Cirque du Soleil!
I saw it in Hawaii and was very satisfied!

The theme was Hawaii with many highlights, and since I wouldn't have the opportunity to see it in Japan, I decided to book it! The seats were around the middle, and the experience was truly impressive!

初めてのシルクドソレイユ！
ハワイで見てとても大満足でした！

テーマがハワイで見どころも多く、
日本にいても見る機会がないのでどうせなら！と申し込み、座席も真ん中あたりで大迫力でした！

We had a great time parasailing as a family of four.

My eldest son has autism. While he understands what is being said, he struggles to express his thoughts and feelings verbally, and he is classified as having a severe disability. However, he loves feeling the wind and cutting through it, so I decided to take the plunge and sign him up for this first experience.

When I informed the receptionist that we wanted a no splash experience, she kindly agreed and assured me that she would definitely communicate this to the captain. When we boarded the boat, the captain confirmed again whether my son was the one with a disability and if it was okay to avoid splashes. The assistant also encouraged my son, who seemed anxious, with phrases like "It's so much fun! It feels great! You'll be fine!" in simple Japanese.

Putting on the harness was not straightforward. My son, unsure of what to do, kept putting his feet in and out of the harness. The assistant remained patient and never showed any signs of frustration, asking him if he wanted to take a step back or if he wanted to come back to it later, waiting for his timing multiple times. I was truly grateful for that. Thanks to the kind assistant, my son began to trust him and accepted the assistant touching the harness without resistance.

The captain also made sure not to burden my son, frequently checking in with him and praising him with "Good job!" just for putting on the harness. Before we took off, both of them encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry, Mom! Just enjoy!" I was on the verge of tears. My son, who had been stiff and unresponsive on the boat, responded to my encouragement at 150 meters in the air, saying it felt nice and that the view was beautiful. Of course, we returned to the boat without any splashes as requested. My son looked relieved and refreshed, with a bright expression.

The parasailing was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Despite my son's challenges, he had a wonderful time soaring through the sky. I am extremely satisfied that he was able to have such a fantastic experience, thanks to the kind-hearted captain, the assistant, and the receptionists. Thank you very much!

パラセイリングを家族4人でお世話になりました。

長男は自閉症で、言っている事は分かりますが、自分の考えや思いを言葉で伝えてる事が難しく手帳も最重度です。
しかし風を感じる事や風を切る事が大好きなので、初体験させてみようと意を決して申込みしました。

NOスプラッシュでと受付のお姉さんに伝えると、快くokして下さり、必ずキャプテンに伝えますと言って下さいました。
いざ乗り込むと、キャプテン(船長さん)からハンディがあるのは彼か？スプラッシュは辞めるでOKか、など再度確認して下さいました。アシスタントの方も、めっちゃ楽しい！気持ちいい！大丈夫！と片言の日本語で不安そうな長男を元気づけてくれました。
ハーネスを付けるのも一筋縄ではいきませんでした。
ハーネスをどうするのか、見通しが立たない長男は足をハーネスに入れたり抜いたり。
そんな長男にアシスタントの方は嫌そうな表情を全くせず、後にする？カムバックしてこようか？と、長男のタイミングを何度も待ってくれました。本当に有り難かったです。
そんな優しいアシスタントさんのおかげで長男も心を許し、アシスタントさんがハーネスを触る事に抵抗無く受け入れていました。

キャプテンも長男の負担にならないように、何度も声かけしてくれたり、ハーネスを付けただけなのにグッジョブ！と褒めて下さったり。飛ぶ前、ママ大丈夫だから楽しんで！とお2人からの声かけに、私が泣きそうでした。
船の上で顔も体も固まっていて声かけに反応薄かった長男は、上空150メートルで気持ち良いね！キレイな景色だね！など私からの声かけにキレイや気持ち良いと返事してくれました。
もちろんお願い通りスプラッシュせずに船に戻ってきました。長男は少しホッとした感じと爽快感で清々しい表情をしている様に見えました。

今回のハワイ旅行で1番のメインイベントのパラセイリング！障がいを抱えた長男でしたが、楽しく空中散歩できました。
本当に優しい心遣いできるキャプテンやアシスタントの方を始め、受付のお姉さん達のおかげでステキな体験を長男にさせてあげる事ができ大満足です。
ありがとうございました！

The check-in location was easy to find, and signing the agreement was very smooth. The boat I participated in had only my family and foreign guests, but it was very lively and fun! There was a lady with some mobility issues, but she was able to enjoy herself without any problems! We didn't get wet at all (if you want to get wet, it's okay to go deeper). It was a very valuable experience! The check-in staff, captain, and assistants all spoke English, but the conversations weren't too difficult, so it was fine! The agreement was in Japanese!

チェックイン場所もすぐに分かって、同意書のサインなどとてもスムーズでした。私の参加したボートは私達家族以外は外国の方だったけど、とても盛り上がり楽しかったです！足が少し不自由なマダムもいらっしゃいましたが、全然支障なく楽しんでいらっしゃいました！水に濡れることもなかったです（濡れたい場合は深刻すればOK）とても貴重な体験でした！チェックインの方、キャプテン、アシスタントしてくださる方みなさん英語ですが、そんなに難しい会話はないので大丈夫！
同意書は日本語でした！

The world of Cirque du Soleil!
The charm that captivates the audience is the best!
If the schedule fits, I definitely recommend it! 🤩

世界のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ！
見る人を惹き付ける魅力は最高です！
スケジュールがはまれば、是非、おすすめです❗🤩

It's a small theater... that's my impression upon entering.

Our seats were in the second row from the front, on the side, but once it started, there were performances overflowing beyond the stage, making it hard to know where to look. The entire theater became the stage.

小さな劇場だな…
入場時の印象です。

私たちの席は前から2列目、サイド側にかかったところでしたが、はじまると舞台以外にもパフォーマンスが溢れどこを見ていいかわからないくらい。劇場全体が舞台になりました。

I thought that a two-hour horseback riding experience wouldn't cover much distance or time, but to my surprise, it was a perfectly ample amount of both! It was an activity where I could enjoy the most breathtaking views while glancing at other tour groups. (I also experienced zip-lining on the same day.) I don't think there are many horseback riding experiences in Japan that allow for such a generous amount of time. I highly recommend giving it a try!

乗馬2時間、といってもさほどの距離や時間はないだろう、と思っていたら、なんとなんと！きっちりたっぷりの時間と距離で、他のツアーの人を横目に見ながら1番絶景を拝めるアクティビティだったのでは？思います（同日にジップラインも経験）
こんなにたっぷり時間を取れる乗馬体験は日本ではあまりないのではないかな、と。
是非チャレンジしてください。

It was more fun than I imagined. I experienced it with my 8-year-old child. When you reach the top, all you can hear is the sound of the wind and the voices of people flying; it's just a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. I didn't wear a hat because it might fly away, but I had no problem keeping my sunglasses on. They also check how much you want your feet to touch the water, so it's fine if you don't want to at all, or if you just want your toes or up to your backside. The staff also communicate well with gestures and broken Japanese, so there's no problem even if you don't speak Japanese. After it was over, it's a 3-minute walk to Whole Foods.

想像以上の楽しさでした。8歳の子供と体験しました。一番上まで上がると風の音と一緒に飛んでいる人の声しか聞こえない、とにかく景色を楽しむ数分間です。帽子は飛びそうだったので被りませんでしたが、サングラスは着けたままでも問題なかったです。途中で足を着水する程度も聞いてくれるので、なしでも良いし、足先だけかおしりまでなのか伝えれば大丈夫。お兄さんたちも英語が分からなくてもカタコトの日本語とジェスチャーで対応してくれるので問題ないです。
終わったあとホールフーズまで歩いて3分です。

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.

At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.

The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.

Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.

100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。

潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。

ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。

船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。

It was my first time paragliding. The weather was nice, and there was no stress from waiting in line, so it was enjoyable. However, due to the heavy rain the day before, the sea was murky, and the spot where we paraglided was right at the boundary. If we could have gone a little further, we could have paraglided in clearer waters, which was a bit disappointing.

人生初めてのパラセーリングでした。
天気も良く順番待ちなどのストレスも無く楽しかったです。前日の大雨の影響で海が濁っており、パラセーリングした場所がちょうど境目で、もう少し先に行っていただければ、きれいな海でパラセーリングできたのに、そこだけが残念でした。

I was deeply moved for the first time in a while by the powerful stage that utilized the space above the audience. The integration of the audience and stage in the production and stage design was impressive.

観客席の頭上も使った大迫力のステージで久々に心の底から感動しました
観客とステージが一帯となる演出や舞台構成が圧巻でした

Since there were other people with us, the waiting time and the return to the port felt long. I wish they would limit it to about three groups at most. I also thought it would have been nice to have a pickup to the hotel.

他の人も一緒なので、待つ時間・港にもどるまでが長く感じました
最高でも、3組くらいにして欲しい
ホテル迄の、お迎えもあったら良かったと思いました

This is my second time visiting. I felt safe and enjoyed myself. The staff always knows how to get everyone excited, and the time spent in the air was satisfying enough.

リピで2回目です。
安心安全で楽しめました。
いつもスタッフの方が盛り上げてくださるし、空中でいる時間も満足できる程です。

I booked the cheapest ticket, and I thought it couldn't be helped if the view wasn't great, but the venue was small, with a capacity of about 800 people, and I had a great view from above. It was so much fun that an hour and a half flew by. There was circus performance, sand art, and street performances—truly a show that never got boring. I'm really glad I decided to attend.

1番安いチケットを予約　見えにくくても仕方ない　と思っておましたが　会場は800人ほどの収容人数でこじんまりしていて　上から見下ろす感じでとてもよく見えました
楽しすぎて　１時間半があっという間で　サーカスありサンドアートあり　大道芸ありの本当に飽きさせない公演でした　思い切って観覧してよかったです
