I tried surfing for the first time in my life, and it was really fun!! Before entering the ocean, there was a lesson on paddling at the shop, and then we moved to the sea. It was time for the real thing. The instructor was quite strict, but everyone was able to ride the waves, and we had a great time!!! It was a morning course, but after it ended, I went shopping and made the most of my day. I highly recommend it. However, the next day my arms were sore from the muscle strain, and I cut the soles of my feet on coral, which was tough.

生まれて初めてサーフィンやりましたが、かなり楽しかったです！！
海に入る前にお店でパドリングなどの講習があり、その後
海に移動。さっそく本番。
先生かなり厳しかったですが、皆さん波乗りできていて、とても楽しめました！！！
午前中のコースだったのですが、終わった後、ショッピングに行ったり、１日を有意義に使えました。
おすすめです。
ただ、次の日は腕が筋肉痛＆サンゴ？で足の裏を切ったのでつらかったです。

This was by far the best adventure I've ever been on and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, which is very different from most touristy things I've done in Hawaii where once is enough.

The crew was great, the sharks were plentiful and the gear provided was excellent. Don't forget to bring your camera because you will want to capture every moment out there. If you don't have an underwater camera, you can buy one from the crew.

My first experience with submarine sightseeing was truly impressive. I saw vibrant schools of fish in Hawaii, large green sea turtles, and even sharks!! It was very fulfilling! My parents in their 70s were also thrilled.

初めての潜水艦観光は、とても見応えがありました。ハワイの色鮮やかな魚の群れや、大きなアオウミガメ、鮫まで！！見応えタップリでした！　７０代の両親も大喜びでした。　

On January 8th, I participated with my middle school and elementary school children. The event started at 1:00 PM, and we were to gather by 11:50 AM. That morning, we had hiked up Diamond Head, so I was a bit sleepy. After watching a simple Japanese video, we signed a consent form (waiver of damage claims) and split into two groups of about ten to enter the pool. Since we were wearing life vests, I felt safe even though I can't swim. The staff mostly couldn't speak Japanese, but we managed to communicate with simple words and gestures. After all, it’s a sign language understood by dolphins. However, when the sun was hidden by clouds, it got a bit chilly. Both adults and children were shivering (laughs). I wish I had at least worn a rash guard.

Now, regarding the sensation of touching the dolphins, I felt they were similar to ____. The children agreed with me. After the program ended, we enjoyed dolphin and penguin shows, bought and ate hot dogs, checked the photos and DVDs we had taken, and looked for souvenirs until we regrouped at 4:45 PM. I recommend this experience for those who enjoy cheering with the dolphins and participants! Also, keep in mind that the photos, souvenirs, and DVDs are quite expensive, so you’ll need extra money for that. There are coin lockers available, but you need to purchase a “small key” (with two keys) for $2. Showers (water) and changing rooms are free.

１月８日に中学生と小学生の子供と参加しました。１３：００開始、１１：５０集合でした。当日の朝は、ダイヤモンドヘッドに上ってきたので、多少、眠気もありました。簡単な、日本語のビデオを見た後、同意書（損害請求の放棄）にサインし、１０人ずつ位の２グループに分かれて、プールに入りました。ライフベストを着けているので、泳げない私でも安心です。スタッフは、ほとんど日本語が話せませんが、簡単な単語、身振りで、なんとなく通じてしまいます。そもそも、イルカに伝わるサインですから。ただ、太陽が雲に隠れると、肌寒かったです。大人も、子供も震えてました（笑）せめて、ラッシュガードを着用しておけば良かったです。さて、肝心のイルカの感触ですが、私は○○に似ていると感じました。子供たちも同意見です。このプログラムが終了後は、１６：４５の再集合まで、イルカやペンギンのショーを楽しんだり、ホットドッグを買って食べたり、出来上がった写真、DVDをチェックし、お土産を探したりして、１６：４５に再集合しました。イルカや参加者と、歓声を上げながら楽しめる方にはお勧めします！あと、写真、お土産、DVDは、結構、高額なのでその分のお金も必要です。コインロッカーはあるのですが、「小さな鍵」（キー２本付き）を２ドルで購入する必要があります。シャワー（水）と更衣室は、無料です。

This one of the biggest thrills I have ever experienced, and there has been alot, we have traveled all over the world and this is most definately in the top 5 for us. To have a shark 8-12 feet long inches from your face, let alone 15-20 of them within 20 feet of you is extreme, then add in some good sized swells to add to the excitement, I wouldn't miss it again, ever, a must for anyone who needs a thrill.

The X-Treme Parasailing in Oahu, 1050 ft in the air looking at the Wakiki and Diamond Head, definately can't be missed.

This adventure delivers on exactly what it offers. If you've seen the shark specials on the discovery channel this will be very similar except for the fact that YOU are up close and personal with the sharks. Bring waterproof camera for great shots. I didn't have one but I brought my live action camera and filmed some great footage from on the boat.

The whole family took motion sickness medication, and off we went! As we anxiously peered into the sea from the slowly sinking submarine, small fish gradually appeared. Just when we were a bit worried that this was all we would see, a large creature swam by! It was a sea turtle! We couldn't take a photo in time, but we later saw three more sea turtles just floating there. We didn't see any sharks, but there were some!

I especially recommend this for elderly people who can't snorkel and for small children.

家族全員酔い止めも飲んで、いざ出発！
少しずつ沈む潜水艦にどきどきしながら、海をのぞいていると、小さな魚が少しずつ現れました。何だこれだけか~~とちょっと不安げだった私達の前に、海を泳ぐ大きな物体が！そう海がめ！あっというまで、写真は撮れなかったけど、その後も、じっとしている海がめは３頭も見ました。サメも泳いではいないけれど、いたいた！
シュノーケリングの出来ない年配の方や、小さい子供には特にお勧めです。

This experience was the best thing I have ever done in my short time on this earth! Even though I was seasick I still had the time of my life. The captain made sure everything was as safe and controlled. These sharks were not aquarium sharks! These beautiful creatures were enormus, full of spledor and power. I was amazed to see in real life. If or when I return to the island I will do this adventure again. Don't miss the opportunity to get in the cage you only live once, Seize the Day!

I had a great time. The crew was outstanding and helpful. The ocean was really rough and I got thrown around in the cage a little. Plenty of sharks and a great experience.

I can go underwater exploring because I dive, but my parents and my little nephews and nieces cannot. So, I participated in the Atlantis Submarine. I was able to see more fish than I expected and even encountered a sea turtle. Additionally, we went to a really deep place, allowing me to experience an unknown world that diving alone wouldn't provide. I could also hear explanations in Japanese, and above all, it was an easy option for anyone to dive to the ocean floor. It was a really fun experience.

私は、ダイビングをするので、海中散策が可能ですが！！
父母や、小さい甥っ子・姪っ子は出来ません。
そこで　アトランティス潜水艦に参加しました。
思ったより、多くの魚を見ることができ、海がめにも遭遇。
また、すごい深いところまで行くので、ダイビングでは未知の世界も体験出来ました。
日本語で説明も聞けましたし、何よりも簡単に海底潜ることが
誰でも可能なOPです。すごく楽しい体験でした。

I had an amazing experience!! It felt more like the dolphins were playing with me rather than me training them, but with my guidance, the dolphins jumped, danced, and gave kisses... and before I knew it, it was over. It was such a fun time. I wish I could take the dolphins back to Japan; they were so cute. In the future, even though it's a bit pricey, I would love for my children to have this experience too.

体験してきました！！
調教するというより、イルカに遊んで頂いた感じですが、
一応私の支持で、イルカがジャンプや、フラやキスをしてくれて・・あっという間に終わってしまいましたが、
すごく楽しい時間でした。日本につれて帰りたいぐらい
イルカかわいかったです。
将来は、少し高いですが、子供にもさせた体験です。

I had an absolutely wonderful time!! My favorite was the Sea Trek (＾＾). There were various fish, and being able to touch the rays was the best part. The only downside was that, unfortunately, the dolphin show was canceled due to the bad weather, and it was very cold because of the rain. However, don't worry about sudden rain; you can purchase rain gear at the shop.

と～～っても楽しかったです!!　わたしのお気に入りは、シートレックです（＾＾）　いろいろな魚がいて、中でもエイは触れたりできて、最高でした。　少し残念なのは、あいにくの天気でイルカショーが中止になったのと、雨のためとても寒かったことですね；；　しかし急な雨でもあせらないで、ショップにて雨具用品を購入してください。　

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, and this time I went on a submarine with my wife. We encountered sea turtles twice, which was moving. Next time, I would like to see the stars on the Big Island. It was fun, thank you very much.

ハワイは5回目ですが今回家内と潜水艦に乗りました
ウミガメが2回出逢いました感動しました次回はハワイ島の
星を見たいと思っています。楽しかった有り難うございました・

It was my first time surfing, but the instructor taught me carefully, making it easy to understand and fun!

初めてのサーフィンでしたが、インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えて下さったので、分かりやすくて楽しかったです！

Being able to feel the dolphins and swim with them was absolutely amazing. In wild dolphin watching, you definitely can't touch them, and it's not something you can do at aquariums in Japan. The price is reasonable, but it's worth participating. This time, there were only the two of us Japanese participants, possibly due to some mix-up, but when I mentioned that I only understood Japanese, they were accommodating. The signals were not that difficult. If you want to interact more, it's better to pay an additional $50 for the Royal Swim. Either way, I think you'll have a great experience.

イルカの感触がわかるさらに一緒に泳げるって事が最高によかったです。
野生のイルカウォッチングではゼッタイに触れない、日本の水族館ではできない一緒に遊ぶということができます。
値段はそこそこですが、参加する価値はあります。
今回は何かの手違いか日本人は私たち二人しかいませんでしたが、日本語しかわからない旨を言えば、対応してくれました。
それほど難しい合図もありません。
もっとふれあいたいと思う方は50ドル追加してロイヤルスイムに申し込んだ方がいいです。
どちらにしてもいい体験ができると思います。

I could not go in the cage as the mask interfered with my dentures but as it was my grandaughter's birthday gift...it was fun to watch her and I could see lots of sharks from the boat (even though it was very rough water).

I participated in the 10 AM session on November 19. We departed from the meeting point on time and headed to the beach. From there, we boarded a boat and made our way to the submarine. The beauty of the blue sea viewed from the boat was so stunning that I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" The moment the submarine surfaced with big bubbles was definitely worth seeing.

I chose a seat at the very back on the right side of the submarine. The explanations were in Japanese, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear the announcements from the lady speaking in front very well, possibly due to my position. However, the view of the seabed from the window was absolutely amazing, and I was deeply moved by the sight of fish and sea turtles swimming gracefully in the beautiful sea. It was also impressive to see the children sitting nearby getting so excited. I believe that no matter where you sit, you'll have an equally good view.

On the way back, we split into groups for those returning to the hotel and those wanting to go to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and they arranged cars for us. Additionally, for those going to Ala Moana, there was a very helpful service where a car would come every hour to take us back to Waikiki!

11月19日10時の回に参加しました。
時間通りに集合場所から出発し、ビーチへ。
そこから船に乗り、潜水艦へと向かいました。船上から見る海の青の美しさは思わず「きれ~」と声に出してしまう程です。ボコボコっと大きな泡が出てきて潜水艦が海上へ現われる瞬間は見る価値がありました。
潜水艦では私は右側一番後方の席に座ることに。
日本語の説明だったのですが、位置が悪かったのか前でお姉さんが話しているアナウンスがあまり聞こえなかったのが残念でした。
窓から見える海底の様子は本当に最高で、魚やウミガメが綺麗な海を気持ちよさそうに泳いでいる様子にとても感動して思わず窓にはりつきそうになりました。近くに座っていた子供さんが興奮しまくっていたのも印象的です。どこの場所に座っても平等にいい景色が見れると思います。
帰りは、ホテルに帰る人、アラモアナショッピングセンターに行きたい人と分かれて車を出してくださり、またアラモアナに行った人は1時間毎に迎えの車が来てワイキキまで送ってくれるというとってもありがたいサービスがありました！

This was my first experience with horseback riding, and it was a valuable experience. The instructor spoke a little Japanese, which made it easy to understand. The horses were calm, and they walked according to the course, so there were no issues for beginners. It was unfortunate that the weather was bad, but the scenery of the grasslands spread out among the high mountains was wonderful.

　今回乗馬が初めてで、貴重な体験をしました。インストラクターの方も少し日本語が話せて分かりやすかったです。
　馬もおとなしく、特にコースに合わせて歩いてくれるので、初心者でも問題ありません。
天気が悪くて残念だったけど、高い山の中で広がる草原の風景はすばらしかったです。

First, I was taught how to paddle and stand in the shop. Although I could hardly understand Japanese, they taught me multiple times until I understood, so I didn't have any trouble at all.

When we started the lesson in the ocean, I was initially scared of the big rocks and coral and couldn't stand up, but I was able to ride the waves quickly once I calmed down. The coaches were really funny, and while we were waiting for the waves, they chatted a lot, which made it really enjoyable. They encouraged me many times, which motivated me to keep going even when my body was tired!

I definitely want to go again!

最初にショップの中でパドリングや立ち方を教えてもらいました。日本語がほとんど通じなかったのですが、理解できるまで何度も教えてくれたので、全然困らなかったです。
海でレッスンを開始して、最初は大きな岩やサンゴが怖くて立てなかったのですが、落ち着いてやればすぐに乗れるようになりました。コーチ達は本当に面白い人たちで、波を待っている間もいっぱいしゃべってくれてほんとに楽しかったし、何度も励ましてくれてやる気を起こさせてくれるので、体が疲れていても最後までがんばれました！
また行きたいなと思いました！！

I was really satisfied because I had decided to do this when I went to Hawaii!
I chose the highest flying plan, and the view was so beautiful that I was moved.
I felt a bit nervous when I had to dip my bottom into the water, but if you don't want to get wet, it's good to let them know before you jump.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
I was fine, but I think those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some medicine before going!
Also, in addition to the tip, you can get photos taken for about $15, so it might be good to bring some extra money.
We only brought enough for the tip, so we couldn't get any photos... that was the only regret.
It will be a great memory, so I recommend trying it at least once!

ﾊﾜｲに行ったら絶対やると決めていたのですごく満足でした！！
一番高く飛ぶﾌﾟﾗﾝにしたんですが、景色がすごくｷﾚｲで感動しました☆彡
水の中におしりをｼﾞｬﾎﾞﾝｯと入れられる時はﾄﾞｷﾄﾞｷしたけど水につけられたくない人は飛ぶ前に確認してくれるのでちゃんと言った方が良いですよ♪
楽しくてあっという間に終わってしまいました(´∀｀)
私は大丈夫でしたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを必ず飲んで行った方がいいと思います！
それとﾁｯﾌﾟの他に$15(かな？)で写真を撮ってもらえるので、余分にお金を持っていったほうがいいかもしれません。
私達はﾁｯﾌﾟ分しか持って行かなかったので写真を撮ってもらえませんでした…それだけが残念でした↓↓
良い思い出になるので一度試したほうがいいですよ☆

My 9-year old and I went horseback riding and we had a blast. She is a little horse lover. The guide was a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable about the somewhat historic ranch. The view from the top of the mountain was beautiful. I would definitely do it again!

This submarine dive was awesome. It goes down about 120 feet and makes its way through two shipwrecks, a plane crash, U of Hawaii's artificial coral project... Not to mention all the fish and wildlife you see. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! However, do pay attention to the languages set for the time you go. But if you happen to get on a Japanese tour, there are headphones with English.

I would highly reccomend this to anyone! Best excursion I have ever done. I would have done it everyday if I could have.

This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

The day before the wedding in Hawaii, I participated with my parents and my partner's parents, a total of six people, to foster friendship.

We really enjoyed the activity!! Especially the blue sea seen from the boat on the way to the submarine! It was beautiful!! (You should definitely go up to the deck!!) Once on the submarine, we saw many fish, turtles, and sharks, and there were thorough explanations in Japanese, which made my parents happy.

If you understand a little English, I highly recommend trying the English explanations as well. They provide clear and interesting information! (When wearing headphones, you might hear other guests suddenly burst into laughter during the English explanations, which makes you curious about what's going on, haha!)

ハワイ挙式の前日、親睦も兼ねて両家両親・計6人で参加してきました。

アクティビティ自体は大変楽しむことが出来ました!!とくに潜水艦までいくまでの船からみる海の青さ！キレイ!!（絶対デッキにあがるべき!!）
潜水艦に乗ってからも魚や亀やサメなど沢山見え、日本語の説明もしっかりあり、親も喜んでいました。

また少し英語が分かる方は、英語の説明も是非トライしてみてください。分かりやすくいろんな話をしてくれます！（ヘッドホンをしていると、英語の説明を受けているお客さんが突然爆笑したりして　ナニナニ？と気になります　笑）

It has been a dream of mine for a long, long time! Swimming with dolphins... I participated in a communication session with dolphins that trainers conduct at domestic aquariums! My husband and I joined the Royal Swim, and I got to hold onto the dolphin's dorsal fin and be pulled along, and they pushed the soles of my feet so I could glide through the water like Superman. The closeness with the dolphins was 100%! I touched their backs and bellies multiple times, and I can't even describe how amazing it felt! They are so smart, cute, and the ultimate source of healing. The Royal Swim is more expensive than other programs, but if you're looking for that close interaction with the dolphins, I absolutely recommend the Royal Swim.

ずっと、ずっと夢だったんです！イルカちゃんと一緒に泳ぐの・・・。国内の水族館等で、トレーナーの方がやっているイルカちゃんとのコミニケーションやっちゃいました！！私は、主人とロイヤルスイムの参加だったんですが、イルカちゃんの背びれに捕まって引っ張って貰ったり、両足の裏を押して貰って、スーパーマンみたいに水辺を滑ったり、イルカちゃんとの密着度１００％でした！！背中とお腹両方何度も触りましたが、なんて説明したら良いのか分からないくらい気持ちいぃ～～～！それに、賢くて、可愛くて最高の癒しです。ロイヤルスイムは、他のプログラムよりお値段は高いですが、イルカちゃんとの密着度を求めるなら、絶対ロイヤルスイムをお勧めします。

The ride takes you through the valley of the Koolau Mountains. The views are grogeous! The horses are well trained so there is no problems for first timers. Our guides, Christine and Suzanna are wonderful and enthusiastic. They were a lot of fun and brought great energy to the group. The view of the mountains and ocean will definitely make you appreciate the beauty of Hawaii.

This was by far and away the most amazing experience of my life. Anyone that is coming to hawaii should go out and get in the water with these beautiful creatures. Its an experience unlike any other.

GREAT
