Very murky water not much to see, sub time was almost an hour off. Disapointed

The frilly chicken and garlic shrimp were just as expected, and I was glad to join the tour on Sunday! The location for lunch at the beach was fantastic. The town of Haleiwa felt like a nostalgic countryside town. The guide also provided detailed explanations, which made it enjoyable.

期待通りのフリフリチキン、ガーリックシュリンプ、日曜日にツアーに参加でき良かった！！
ビーチでのランチにロケーション最高でした。
ハレイワの街は、ノスタルジックな田舎町という感じ。
ガイドさんも、詳しく説明いただき楽しかったです。

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

It was a wonderful show with singing and dancing. The two drinks included were just right. The meal was also delicious.

歌にダンスにとても素晴らしいショーでした。
ドリンク２杯が付いてるのも丁度良かったです。
お食事も美味しくいただきました。

This tour allowed me to experience North Shore sightseeing, horseback riding, and B-grade gourmet food all in one day, and I was very satisfied. The main highlight was definitely the horseback riding. The staff provided explanations in English, but even for someone like me who isn't proficient in English, I was able to understand about 50%, so it's fine for those who struggle with English. I also recommend the B-grade gourmet garlic shrimp.

このツアーはノースショワ観光・乗馬・B級グルメが１日で体験で出来てとても満足できました。メインはやはり乗馬です。スタッフは英語の説明ですが、英語のできない私でも50％は理解できたので、英語が苦手に方でも大丈夫です。B級グルメのガーリックシュリンプもオススメです。

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

This is a place that has been used in movies, and you will be overwhelmed by the great nature. You can go horseback riding there, which feels really nice. First, you watch a video in Japanese that explains the precautions, and then you are assigned a horse that fits your body size. After that, you proceed slowly in a single file. The horses tend to stray off to eat grass, so you need to be careful, but time passes enjoyably while chatting with the staff. However, since it's a long ride, your backside may start to hurt towards the end. I recommend it because you can enjoy a wonderful time while feeling the pleasant breeze of Hawaii.

ここは映画でも使用された場所で、その大自然に圧倒されます。
そこで乗馬をできて、とても気持ちいいです。
始めに日本語で注意事項などのビデオを見てから、自分の体格に合った馬を割り当てられます。
そして、ゆっくりと1列になって進んで行きます。
馬たちは草を食べたくて寄り道するので、注意が必要ですが
スタッフのお姉さんたちとおしゃべりしながら楽しい時間が過ぎていきます。
しかし長時間の乗馬なので、最後の方はお尻が痛くなってきます。
ハワイの気持ち良い風を感じながら、素敵な時間を過ごせるのでお勧めです。

My friend wanted to parasail while she was visiting me on the island. I had never been and I am really glad we chose Hawaii Parasail. Hector made it easy and fun, not to mention, he was CUTE! :)
The Captain was great and so was our whole experience. Thanks!

My daughter expressed a desire to interact with dolphins, and since it was a rare opportunity, we both signed up for it. My parents accompanied us as spectators.

In the morning, we almost missed the bus because we got the pickup location wrong.

As soon as we got off the bus, we changed into our swimsuits and headed to the pool where the dolphins were waiting. After listening to the guide's explanation, we entered the pool.

The dolphins came very close, and we were able to touch their backs and bellies. Each of us had the precious experience of kissing and shaking hands with the dolphins.

After it was over, we changed and freely explored the park. I bought a photo that was displayed in the gift shop; it turned out really well.

Since we signed up for an early morning session, we returned to the hotel early as well. After that, we were able to leisurely go shopping and have dinner, which was great.

I had a really great time. It became a wonderful memory.

本当に楽しかったです。いい思い出になりました。

This tour offers various options, but it is primarily scheduled around horseback riding, so I recommend it for those whose main purpose is horseback riding. One downside is that it can be a bit confusing because we shared the bus with people on different plans, making it hard to fully understand the explanations.

このツアーはいろいろ選べれますが、乗馬がメインでスケジュールが組まれていますので、乗馬が主目的な方にお勧めです。乗馬以外のプランの人と同じバスになったせいか、スケジュールがややこしく、説明がいまいち理解できないのが難点です。

With the free plan, you can also enjoy swimming in the sea. I was introduced to a beach where turtles are present. I had the rare experience of seeing turtles swimming nearby and napping on the sandy beach.

フリープランでは海水浴もできます。亀がいるビーチを紹介して貰いました。亀が近くを泳いでいたり、砂浜で昼寝をしていたり、貴重な体験をすることができました。

Day 3 on Oahu

I finally got to experience swimming with dolphins. In Japan, while you can touch them, you can't swim with them, so this was a precious experience.

My husband is a big dolphin lover☆
Although he's not very good at swimming, the instructors at Sea Life Park explained everything carefully, and we had a great time.

Since it was during a show, it took place in a different pool, but on the contrary, we were able to enjoy various experiences at a leisurely pace.

My husband was also very happy♪

It became a wonderful memory for our honeymoon.

オアフ島滞在３日目

念願のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ体験。日本では、触ることは出来ても、一緒に泳ぐことは出来なかったので、貴重な体験でした。

ダンナ様は大のイルカ好き☆
でも、あんまり泳ぎが得意ではないけど、シーライフパークではインストラクターの方々が丁寧に説明してくれて、とても楽しめました。

ショーの最中の体験だったので、別のプールで行われたけど、逆にゆっくりといろんな体験をさせてもらいました。

ダンナ様も大喜び♪

とても良いハネムーンの思い出になりました。

I experienced it for the first time. At first, I was really worried about whether I could swim with the dolphins, but no one made any mistakes, and everyone was able to swim together! However, the explanation before starting was only in English, so it was a bit difficult to understand. Also, I felt that the distance we could swim with the dolphins was a bit short. It might be because they are animals, even though they are domesticated, and there could be risks involved... I thought it would have been better if we could swim a little longer.

Lastly, you can purchase photos and DVDs of your experience swimming with the dolphins, so it was a very good experience as a memory. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

初めて体験しました。
最初は本当にイルカと一緒に泳げるのか不安でしたが、誰ひとり失敗はなく、みんな一緒に泳げていました！
ただ、開始前の説明が英語のみだったので、少し分かりにくかったです。
あとは、イルカと一緒に泳げる距離が少し短く感じました。飼育されているとはいえ、動物なので危険を伴うためかもしれませんが...。
もう少し長い距離を泳げたらより良かったなぁと思いました。

最後に一緒に泳いでいる写真やDVDを購入できるので思い出としてはとても良い体験でした。
機会があったらまた参加したいと思います。

It was my first time on a four-wheeler, so I was filled with both excitement and anxiety, but riding through the rugged paths in the great outdoors was incredibly refreshing. The two-hour course was very satisfying! I heard there's also a one-hour course, but since it includes explanations and practice, I think the two-hour option is better.

四輪バイクは初めてだったので、期待と不安でいっぱいでしたが、大自然のなかガタガタの道を風をきって走るのはとても爽快でした。２時間コースでしたが大満足です！１時間コースもあるみたいですが、説明や練習も含まれているので、２時間のほうが良いと思います。

I couldn't speak English, which made it half as enjoyable... I wished I could speak English. I was satisfied with both the show and the meal.

英語ができず、楽しかったが楽しさ半分に…。英語ができればと思いました。
ショー、食事ともに満足できました。

I have visited Sea Life Park many times, but it was my first time interacting with dolphins. It was so much fun!! Getting a foot push from a dolphin is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. If you go, definitely give it a try. I highly recommend it.

シーライフパークには何度も足を運んでいたけどイルカと触れ合うのは初めてでした。すっ～～～ごく楽しかった！！
イルカにフットプッシュしてもらったのは一生の思い出です。行かれる方はぜひやってみてください。おすすめです。

I participated in the 2-hour course. I was able to fully enjoy the nature of Hawaii. Hawaii has great mountains as well as the ocean!

2時間コースに参加しました。ハワイの自然を満喫できました。ハワイは海だけではなく、山もよいですね！

The kids are always thrilled!! I use it every time I go to Hawaii.

やはり子供は大喜び！！ハワイに行くたびに利用しています。

It was very enjoyable, and the children were thrilled. I would like to use it again next time.

非常に楽しく、子供たちも大喜びでした。
次回も利用したいです。

I participated because I had a great time horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch before. However, I was disappointed that the tour included other sightseeing spots as well. I had already been to all the places other than horseback riding... I think it would be easier to choose if there were more tours that focused solely on horseback riding.

以前、クアロア牧場で乗馬をした時に面白かったということで参加しました。ただ、乗馬以外の観光地もまわるようなツアー内容だったのが残念です。乗馬以外はすでに行った事がある場所ばかりだったので・・・。乗馬だけをできるツアーがもっといろいろとあると選びやすいと思います。

My mom has never gone sailing before, so what an absolute treat this was to bring her on a Sunset Sail with me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single minute of it. It wasn't one of those Booze Cruises where everyone is loud and getting their fill of free booze, this one I was able to relax with my daughter, enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.

The crew mates were so friendly, drinks were top notch, and the Spirit of Aloha is in great shape to handle the open sea!

I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and simple sunset cocktail sail!

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!

１８歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、３６０度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
６組のうち２組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのＯさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

Last year, I had a wonderful experience riding in the North Shore canyon, so I ended up doing canyon riding again this time. My 10-year-old grandson also wants to do it again next year. This was the first time he rode alone, and he seemed to really enjoy it, even wanting to go again on the same day. Riding in the canyon must have been the best feeling for him. Next year, I plan to have him ride in the canyon plus by the seaside.

One of the highlights of this tour is that you can enjoy sightseeing along the highway on the way to North Shore, which was a lot of fun. At the end of the ride, the staff from Happy Trails take family photos, so it's definitely a good idea to bring a camera.

In any case, I can't miss this riding plan next year. It's a shame I can't convey how I feel about this experience.

　昨年、ノースショワーの渓谷乗馬を楽しく体験できたので、今回もまた渓谷乗馬をしてしまいました。
　１０歳になる孫も、来年もやりたいとのこと、何せ今回初めて一人で乗馬をさせたのですが、とても気に入ったのか当日もう一回やりたいというほど、渓谷を乗馬することは孫にとって最高の気分だったのかもしれません。
　来年は、渓谷プラス海辺の乗馬をさせたいと思っています。
　このツアーの特徴は、ノースショアーに行くまでの間、街道沿いの観光もできるのでとっても楽しかったです。
　乗馬の最後にハッピートレイのスタッフが家族写真をとってくれるので必ずカメラは持っていったほうがいいですね。
　ともかく来年もこの乗馬プランははずせません。
　この気持ち状況を伝えられないのが残念です。

Diving into the sea in a submarine is something that rarely happens, so I had a very valuable experience.

Inside the submarine, we couldn't leave our seats, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the shark that was apparently visible from the opposite window. However, the submarine rotated to allow us to see five different points from both windows, so I was able to enjoy watching sleeping sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around the reefs.

The commentary on board was aimed at children, but I think it was enjoyable enough for adults as well. The relationship between sunlight underwater and the colors of the coral was very interesting.

After disembarking, I heard that we could see dolphins from the boat returning to the pier, but during the transition between trips, the boat rocked due to strong winds, and I got seasick, so I couldn't see them (TT).

潜水艦で海に潜るなんて、
めったに出来るようなことではないので、
とても貴重な体験ができました。

潜水艦内では席を離れることができないので、
反対側の窓から見えていたらしいサメが
見られなかったのは残念でしたが、
5か所のポイントを、両方の窓から見えるように
旋回してくれるので、
寝ているウミガメや、漁礁を泳ぐ綺麗な魚を
楽しむことができました。

船内での解説は子供向けのものでしたが、
大人でも充分楽しめる内容だったと思います。
海中の太陽光とサンゴの色の関係は
とても興味深いものでした。

下船後に桟橋に戻る船からは、
イルカを見ることができたそうですが、
次の回との入れ替え中に強風で船が揺れ、
船酔いしてしまったので
私は見ることができませんでした（TT）

I had wanted to interact with dolphins here since I first went to Hawaii, so I signed up as soon as my trip was decided. Touching the dolphins and swimming with them... that day of the tour was absolutely the best!

前からハワイに行けばここでイルカに触れ合いたかったので
旅行が決まってすぐに申し込みました。
イルカに触って、イルカと泳いで・・・・・
もうこのツアーの日は一日最高でした。

It was my first visit to Sea Life Park in 20 years, and I felt a great sense of nostalgia seeing the unchanged scenery along the way. I had signed up for the Dolphin Encounter, but unfortunately, just before it started, my 2-year-old daughter began to cry loudly. I thought it would be best not to disturb everyone, so I canceled. At first, I was frustrated with my daughter's tantrum, but upon reflection, I realized it was my mistake to plan this for the morning after a long flight.

The staff handled the last-minute cancellation without any displeasure and quickly arranged a taxi for our return trip. Thank you very much. Thanks to their prompt assistance, we were able to relax at Waikiki Beach and the hotel pool before going shopping that day. My daughter regained her composure, and the rest of our itinerary went smoothly, allowing us to create wonderful memories of our trip before leaving Hawaii.

I thought we stumbled at the first event in Hawaii, but thanks to the staff, I am grateful that we were able to make enjoyable memories during our trip.

シーライフパークは、20ぶりの訪問となりましたが、往復路を含めて変わらぬ風景に、大変懐かしさを感じました。
ドルフィンエンカウンターを申し込みましたが、残念ながら開始直前に2歳の娘が大泣きをし始め、皆様に迷惑をかけてはいけないと思いキャンセルしました。
最初は、娘の我儘に腹が立ちましたが、よくよく考えれば長い空路の翌日の朝一番に計画をした私の間違いでした。
スタッフの皆様は、直前のキャンセルにいやな顔もせず、復路のタクシー手配まで速やかに対処いただきました。
有難うございました。
速やかに対処いただいたおかげで、その日は、ワイキキビーチやホテルのプールでゆっくりしたあと、ショッピングに参りました。娘も、平常を取り戻し、後々の行程は、上機嫌ですごし、楽しい旅の思い出を作りハワイを後にすることができました。
ハワイでの最初のイベントでつまずいたと思ったのですが、スタッフの皆様のおかげで、楽しい旅の思い出を作る事が出来たと感謝しております。

The place was about an hour away from Honolulu but that wasn't problem. The website said to be there 30 min early and we were but the horse handlers said that wasn't neccessary. They were short handed and we ended up waiting more than an hour to ride but the place was majestic so we weren't bothered by the wait. The guides prepared us and were concerned about everyones safety. The ride was perfect. They guides were professional and took time to take our pictures while we were on the beach. I would do it again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.. It was a great family experience.

Was our first time. Had a great time! The staff was very helpful & friendly. We felt very safe with this crew. I would recommend this company to anyone, if we come back with our kids we will definitely repeat with Xtreme Parasail.

My family and I enjoy horseback riding but this one was not up to par. I booked a private lesson and was told we would be able to do more with the horses beside just walking them and also would not be a nose to tail ride but that's exactly what it was. We were told many things but none were true. A couple of the horses did not like having another horse so close to it's tail so they would constantly kick backwards. You're only on the beach for a short time to cross to the dusty path were you spend most of the time until you cross back over the beach to go back to the club. Our guide was also an unpleasant women who never spoke unless it was to tell us what we were doing wrong. It was definetely not worth the money we spent and would not go back.
