i highly reccomend this to anyone! This was our first time doing any type of interaction with sharks, and it was one of the coolest things i have done. It is truly amazing to see sharks in their natural habitat and so close to you.

Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.

最初に本来なら２日で回るところを１日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸１日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍２８年の日本人の方でとても優しく（言葉もよく通じるので）安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.

This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.

ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました！
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング）と歓迎イベント（レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン）があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

Had a great time. Sam made the trip very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

What a great time!! Saw a bunch of turtles and lots of fish, it was great!!

Hawaii Shark Adventure was one of my top activity during a 9 day Hawaiin vacation.activity. It does not beat sex; but I ski double black diamond runs in Colorad and Utah with over a foot of fresh powder and the Shark Adventure rivals that feeling of exhilaration and adventure. A short 15 minute boat ride from the Harbor to the location and then 20 minutes inside the shark cage. I counted over 9 Galapagos sharks swimming around (and under) the cage. Great photo oppurtunities (I got several great shots of just sharks under the water as well as looking at them from the boat). I would recommend this activity to my friends, family, and anyone in good health. My only only advise is for better viewing and photo opps; you need to take a deep breath and go to the bottom of the cage to avoid getting bumped and elbowed by the other guests (not to mention their hands of elbows getting into your photos).

This was the first time parasailing for me and my brother and it won't be our last. It was awesome. Captain Aaron and Hector were so cool and they made the boat ride out a lot of fun. Seeing the island from up in the air was so amazing. The pictures came out great and we were glad we had them take them. It was well worth it.

It wasn't scary and was enjoyable. Two very cheerful guys efficiently took turns guiding us. On the contrary, they might not have been annoying, but they confidently asked for tips. It was $20 for the two of us. Just for your reference...

怖くもなく楽しめました。とっても明るいお兄さん２人がてきぱきと順番に飛ばしてくれます。逆に嫌味がないのかもしれませんが、堂々とチップを求められました。２人で２０ドルでした。ご参考までに…。

I had a really great time! I'm glad I went. I bought the photos taken at the pool! I also wanted a video, but I heard the machine was broken, so I couldn't purchase it. That was very disappointing.

本当に楽しかったです！
行ってよかった。
プールで撮ってもらった写真買いました！ビデオも欲しかったのですが機械が壊れてしまったそうで購入できませんでした。
それだけがとても残念でした。

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

It wasn't my first time paragliding, so I was relaxed and not nervous, but once I went up, it was higher than I imagined, and instead of feeling good, I was scared. My husband enjoyed it.

パラセーリングは初めてではなかったので、緊張もなくリラックスして乗りましたが、いざ上にあがると想像した以上に高くて、気持ちいいはずが怖かったです。
夫は楽しんでいました。

A little nervous at first. Would have liked to go first and have time enjoying the boat ride. Overall the staff was very cool and fun while staying safety aware. A great time!!!

I can't swim very well, but I want to try surfing!! So, I participated in a lesson with Hands Heedman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons☆

The instructor taught us patiently in both Japanese and English at the office, and we practiced exactly as we were taught during the two sessions.

Once we got into the water, if I couldn't paddle well, they would pull me along, which really reduced my fear.

I highly recommend this for beginners♪

ほとんど泳げないけど、サーフィンをやってみたい！！
ということで、ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィン・レッスンのレッスンに参加☆

オフィスで日本語と英語で丁寧にインストラクターの方が教えてくれ、２回実際に教えてもらった通りに練習。

海にはいってからも、うまくパドリングできないときは、ひっぱってくれたり、怖さが半減しました。

初心者の方にもおすすめです♪

I thought the price was a bit high, but I had a great time playing with the dolphins. If you're going to do it, the Dolphin Royal Swim is the way to go. The fun is on another level.
I watched it once at a different time, so even without Japanese, I understood.

少し値段が高いと思っていましたが、イルカと遊んで楽しかった。せっかくやるならドルフィン・ロイヤルスイムですね。楽しさがちがいます。
　時間をずらして一度見てからやったので、日本語無しでも、分かりましたよ。

The Hi-light of our trip. The crew was AWESOME. They were very informative as well as entertaining. Even though we were in the ocean with a lot of sharks we still felt completely safe. This is the closest you can come face to face with nature w/o fearing for your life (well, almost - it is a little scary at first). The sharks are amazing animals. Can't put into words what its like to look a shark in the eye. You have to see it for yourself. We were in the cage for about 20-30 minutes, but it seemed like an hour and there was plenty of room. If you tend to get sea sick just take a pill and do it anyway. You won't regret it. Definately get the DVD, its about $65 and worth every penny. I'm pretty cheap myself, but knew I couldn't pass the DVD up. Totally worth it. Just DO IT and don't forget your underwater cameras.

Out of this world! Everything and more than what we had hoped. Certainly an activity for all ages, young and old.

We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.

The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.

The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.

When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!

ワイキキから船で沖へ行き潜水艦に乗換え。

ワイキキの海は波があり、潜水艦までの船で船酔いをしました。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを。

海の中はとても綺麗で、泳げない(ダイビングが出来ない)方にはお勧めです。
私達は運が良く、ウミガメ、サメを見る事が出来ました。
澄んだ綺麗な海の中を見れたので、良かったです。

潜水艦が水中から上がって来る時、沈む時、
かっこよかったです。必見！

I experienced parasailing.

I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.

However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリングを体験してきました。


高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。
送迎付なので、ハワイ初心者でも安心です。
時間も正味２時間程度なので、他の予定の邪魔になりません。
またハワイに行く機会があればぜひ申し込みたいですし、友人にも紹介したいツアーです。

ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。
酔い止めの薬は必須です。

I participated in the 2-hour course. It was definitely nice to be able to see the filming locations of the movie while riding a horse, but after a while, my backside started to hurt, and it became tough from the middle of the ride. However, it was a satisfying activity.

As a side note, the stalls selling drinks and other items close when the activity ends, so if you want to buy something, I recommend taking care of that before the activity starts.

2時間コースに参加してきました。確かに、映画のロケ地を馬に乗りながら、見学できるのはよかったですが、ちょっと2時間だとお尻が痛くなって、中盤からはきつかったです。。。
でも、満足できるアクティビティーでした。
後補足としては、アクティビティが終わる時間は、ドリンクなどを販売している売店はしまってしまうので、何か買いたい場合には、アクティビティの前に済ませることをお勧めします。

I participated with my 3-year-old child. We kissed and touched dolphins. We were very satisfied. There was also a place where we could feed sea lions and sea turtles, and Sea Life Park was very satisfying.

3歳の子供と参加。
イルカとキスしたり触ったり。
大満足でした。
アシカやウミガメに食事をあげることのできる場所もあり、シーライフパークは大満足でした。

I participated in the Dolphin Royal Swim. At first, I wasn't sure where the location was and arrived a little late, but I was moved to be able to swim at the same level as the dolphins. By noon, those dolphins were performing in a show, and I grew even fonder of them. I think it's a great activity for families.

ドルフィンロイヤルスイムに参加しました。最初、場所がよくわからず、少し遅刻しましたが、自分と同じ目線で泳ぐことができ感動しました。昼には、そのイルカたちがショーで活躍して、ますます彼らに愛着が湧きました。家族向きのアクティビティと思います。

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.

The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.

But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.

超特大のサーフボードを使ってのサーフィンレッスン、
当たり前のように沖に行って1度目で立てました。
「初めての人でも立てる」がうたい文句なので
仕方がないのかもしれないですけど、
なんだか初めから簡単すぎて拍子抜けでした。

レッスンはショップから徒歩5分の場所で
2時間はあっ~という間でしたが、
すぐ下にサンゴ礁がある上でのレッスンだったので、落ちたくない一心でした。
旦那は足にケガしてしまいました。

でも写真を撮ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。
CD代30ドルは良心的な価格だと思いました。

This was our ( my husband and myself) first Parasailing experience, and we'd do it again. Very fun, and also very relaxing. No worries, very safe. The crew was great and did a wonderful job with photographing us as well, which was most appreciated!

I chose the canyon course, and we really just went a little way up a "mountain." The ups and downs were quite steep, which kept things interesting. We were able to ride for a solid hour and a half, so I felt very satisfied. The horses were well-trained and smart, allowing even beginners to feel safe and comfortable. My mother, who is in her sixties, seemed very satisfied as well.

The staff only spoke English, so it would have been even more enjoyable if I could speak English... The nuts they showed us with gestures were delicious! Thank you very much!

渓谷コースを選択しましたが、ほんとにちょっと
した「山」を進んでゆきます。
上り下りも結構急で、飽きません。
がっつり１時間半乗馬できるので、満足感があります。
お馬さんはきちんと調教されておりお利口なため、
初心者でも安心して身をゆだねることができました。
一緒に行った還暦の母も大満足だったようです。

ついてくれるスタッフの方は英語のみなので、
英語が出来れば更に楽しかっただろうなぁ。。。
ジェスチャーで教えてくれた木の実、美味しかったです！どうもありがとうございました！

I had been planning where to watch the sunset in Hawaii even before my trip, and I decided on this cruise, which turned out to be a great choice. Watching the sunset surrounded by the ocean while out on the boat was exceptional! The food was delicious, and enjoying the sunset while dining felt luxurious. The atmosphere was perfect and it was amazing.

ハワイの夕陽をどこで見ようかと旅行前から計画を練っていたところ、こちらのクルーズを見つけ決めましたが、やはり、よかったです。
船で沖へ出て、海に囲まれて見る夕陽は格別！食事もおいしかったし、食事をしながら眺める夕陽は贅沢な感じがしました。
ムード満点でサイコーでした。

The gradually changing colors of the sea were wonderful. The food was also very delicious, and the Spirit of Aloha was a great yacht. Above all, the staff were very welcoming, which made me feel at ease. I had been looking forward to this since before leaving Japan, and it exceeded my expectations. Watching the sunset from the edge of the boat with a glass in hand felt like a scene from a movie, and it was delightful. I think I might get hooked on this (laughs).

だんだん変る海の色が素敵でした。お料理もとてもおいしかったし、スピリット・オブ・アロハ号もとてもよいヨットでした。何よりスタッフの方がアットホームで、安心できました。日本を出発する前からとても楽しみにしていたのですが、予想以上によかったです。グラス片手に船縁で夕陽を眺めたら映画のワンシーンのようで、気持ちよかったです。
やみつきになりそうです（笑）

I wanted to express my gratitude and share my experience. It was really wonderful. The sunset was amazing, and the view of the lights on Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful. The food was delicious, and everything was great. I'm so glad I participated! The refreshing sea breeze was pleasant, and I savored my happiness. Thank you so much to the staff on the boat who took care of us.

感謝したくて体験談投稿しました。
とってもよかったです。サンセットも素晴らしかったし、海から眺める灯りの点るワイキキビーチもきれいで、食事もおいしかったし、何もかもよかったです。
参加してほんとよかった！吹く潮風も心地よくて、幸せを噛み締めました。
お世話して下さった船のスタッフの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

I made a reservation because I wanted to watch the sunset over the sea, and I'm so glad I did.

The gentle waves, the sea breeze, the sunset sinking beyond the horizon, and the white boat all created an amazing atmosphere—it was the best.

Being out on the sea, away from the beach, felt like I was having the sunset all to myself; there’s no greater luxury than that.

The food was delicious, and everyone on board, including the staff, was so nice, which allowed me to truly enjoy this cruise.

It was a wonderful memory.

夕日を海の上で眺めたいと思い、予約しましたが、申し込んでよかったです。

波の揺れと、潮風と、水平線の彼方に沈んでいく夕日と、白い船と、何もかもがムードを盛り上げて、最高でした。

ビーチから離れて海の上にいると、夕日を独り占めしているようで、これ以上の贅沢はないですね。

食事もおいしく、乗り合わせた人達も、船のスタッフも、みないい人ばかりだったので、このクルーズを心から楽しむことが出来ました。

いい思い出です。

We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします（^^）
家族で一緒にヨット（船？）に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!

It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.

ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです！
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい！

本当にサイコーでした！これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。
