It became a memorable experience. Thank you to all the staff for the great photos. Even though we went 150 meters out, we didn't feel it was over the sea. The seawater was a bit salty, though!

さいな思い出となりました。
スタッフのみなさん、良い写真もありがとうございました。
150メートル行っても海のうえなので感じませんでした。多少海水ごしょっぱいでしたが！

One tour had five different activities mixed together, which caused the return time to be delayed by one hour.

I think it's better to stop the practice of forcing tips with signs.

I would like the horseback riding staff to be positioned at the front and back of the line, not just one person at the front.

ひとつのツアーで５組のそれぞれ別のアクティビティが混ざったツアーになっていた為、戻り時間が1時間遅れになった

チップを強制する貼紙はやめたほうがいいと思う

乗馬スタッフは前一名でなく隊列の前後に付けてほしい

The boat was very clean and spacious, and there were few waves or swells, so even small children were able to enjoy themselves. The captain, who spoke Japanese, and the friendly crew supported us with fishing, allowing us to catch several fish with great pulling sensation in a short amount of time. I go fishing in Japan as well, but it's rare to catch this many. We also encountered a group of sea turtles and dolphins, making for a very satisfying fishing trip.

船はとても清潔で広く、波やうねりも少ない為小さなお子様も楽しまれていました。
日本語も話せるキャプテンとフレンドリーなクルーが釣りをサポートしてくれて、短時間で引き味の良い魚を複数釣り上げることが出来ました。私は日本でも釣りに行きますが、こんなに釣れることは稀です。
ウミガメやイルカの集団にも遭遇して大満足の釣行になりました。

I originally signed up for 7:20, but I received a message the day before the tour asking to change it to 8:20. I couldn't answer the call because I was in another activity, and I only noticed the message later when I checked my email. It might be a good idea to check your phone and email frequently while staying in Hawaii, at least until the day before the tour.

A cheerful driver picked us up. We received water after descending (I might have wanted it earlier, haha). From the bottom, the summit looked very far away, and I was worried about whether I could return in two hours with my preschooler (who is in their last year). However, we were able to climb more smoothly than I expected. After descending, we had enough time to rest on a bench and look at souvenirs.

元々7:20で申込んでいましたが、ツアーの前日に8:20に変更して欲しいとの連絡がありました。
別のアクティビティ中に着信が来ていたので電話には出られず、後からメールを見て気づくことができました。
ハワイ滞在中でもツアー前日までは念のため電話、メールをこまめに確認しておくといいかもしれません。
陽気なドライバーさんが送迎してくれました。お水は下山した後にもらいました。（先に欲しかったかも笑）
下からは頂上がとても遠くに見えたので未就学児（年長）を連れて2時間で戻って来れるかなと不安になりましたが、思ったよりサクサク登れました。下山後もベンチで休憩したりお土産を見る時間的余裕がありました。

みんな満足のひととき
万雷の拍手
見事な舞台でした!

I was able to enjoy an aerial walk with a view of Diamond Head, the beach, and Hilton Village! When you're up parasailing, it’s not scary, but there are times when it can feel a bit frightening while you're on the boat due to the speed. If you pay $40, they will take about 100 photos for you.

ダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチ、ヒルトンビレッジを一望できる空中散歩ができました！パラセーリングで上がってる時は怖くないですが、船がスピード出す都合上、船に乗ってる時は浮遊感があり怖い時があります。40ドル払えば写真を100枚程度撮ってくれます。

The course has changed since I experienced it a year ago, and we couldn't get close to the movie filming locations. The scenery was amazing, but I preferred the previous course. Although there was a shuttle service, the gap between the bus arrival/departure times and the experience was too long. It seems that for the 11:30 start time, the bus leaves just before that. I took a stroll on a nearby beach, but even then, I felt a bit at a loss for what to do.

一年前に体験した際とコースが変わっており、映画のロケ地の近くまでいけなかった。
景色は最高だったが、前回のコースの方が良かった。
送迎付きだったが、バスの到着出発時刻と体験の時刻の空き時間が長すぎた。
11:30開始の回だとちょうど一本前のバスが出た後だかららしい。
近くのビーチ散策をしたが、それでも少し持て余した。

First of all, having staff who could speak Japanese was incredibly helpful. There were several people at the reception, and among them, one person spoke Japanese. Additionally, before boarding the canoe, a Hawaiian explained how to paddle and hold the canoe in broken Japanese, which made it easy to understand and gave me a sense of reassurance.

That aspect was quite significant.

Moreover, the experience was so memorable that it will stay with me for a lifetime. We paddled out a bit from the shore and then returned, and it reminded me of a scene from a Disney movie, like Moana, which made me smile.

It was truly wonderful to have a Hawaiian experience with Diamond Head in the background! I can only express my gratitude to the locals. Thank you!

まず、日本語が話せるスタッフが居た事はすごく助かった。受付には複数人いたが、その中で1人日本語を話せる人がいてさらにカヌー乗船前の説明も漕ぎ方や持ち方などハワイ人が片言日本語で説明してくれてわかりやすくて安心感を覚えました。
その点はかなり大きかったです。
そして、体験の方は一生思い出に残るくらいとてもいい体験ができました。浜から少し沖の方へ出るまでに漕いでまた浜まで戻るのですが、それがまるでディズニー映画に出てたモアナのようなシーンを思い浮かべました笑
ダイヤモンドヘッドを背景にハワイらしい体験ができた事はほんとに良かったです！
現地の人に感謝しかないです。ありがとう。

I was very moved. It was fun to feel a sense of unity with the audience. The intensity was also wonderful, and I can only say it was the best. If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend it.

とても感動しました。観客と一体感が味わえるようで楽しかったです。迫力がも素晴らしいですし最高の一言です。ハワイに行くなら是非オススメです。

As expected from Cirque du Soleil, the performance was impressive and matched the Hawaiian theme perfectly. There were also audience participation elements, which made it very enjoyable.

さすが、シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユという迫力、ハワイのテーマにも合っていて、客席参加のしかけもあり、とても楽しめました。

We all boarded the boat while having a great time together, and after about 20 minutes, we took turns paragliding. The captain took care of everything, which made me feel at ease! I was scared before flying, but once I was up in the air, it was incredibly fun, and the view was amazing—the sea was beautiful and it was the best experience!

みんなでワイワイしながら船に乗って移動して、20分くらい経ったら順番にパラセーリングしました。キャプテンの方が全部やってくれたので、安心できました!飛ぶ前は怖かったけど飛んだらもうそれはそれは楽しかったですし景色も素晴らしく海は綺麗で最高でした！

It says it starts at five but the activity start maybe an hour earlier but still give yourself some time to go to the waterfall for about three hours and an hour to get ready there

Tour guide was the best so much fun can’t wait to go again

The one-hour course was just enough. All the staff were very nice, and we had a great time. The scenery was also amazing! My 10-year-old son was very satisfied as well.

1時間コースで十分でした。
スタッフもみんな感じがよくとても楽しめました。
景色も最高でした！
10歳の息子もとても満足していました。

The experience of riding while exploring the natural mountains and sea was truly amazing! The scenery changes in various ways, which was moving! I was completely satisfied with the full two hours! Although I did get a bit of muscle soreness, haha.

乗馬しながら自然の山や海を回れる体験は本当に最高でした！
景色も色々変わるので感動です！
2時間たっぷりで満足です！
ただ少し筋肉痛になります笑

During my stay, there was a week of "all-day rain," which happens only once every 15 years, making it difficult to truly experience the essence of this activity. The operators were very kind, and I am filled with gratitude for the captain, who tried to create enjoyable memories despite the rain and rough waves. However, the boat's rocking when heading out was more than expected, and more than half of the passengers ended up feeling unwell.

I definitely want to try again on a sunny day.

滞在中、15年に一度あるかないかという「終日降雨」という日が一週間続き、なかなか本アクティビティの神髄を体験することは叶いませんでした。オペレータの皆様もとても親切でしたし、雨や荒波なりに楽しい思い出を残そうと盛り上げて下さる船長には感謝の気持ちでいっぱいですが、沖に出る際の船の揺れが予想以上で、乗客の半数以上が体調を崩してしまいました。

是非、晴れた日にリベンジしたいです。

I received an email asking me to fill out a survey and a pledge, and at that time, I indicated that I did not want any photos. Later, I requested photos via email and received confirmation, and on the day of the event, I asked again for photos. I was told it would be fine, but the scheduled instructor did not show up. As a result, we ended up with just one instructor for the three of us beginners, so no photos were taken (although we did get a free photo of us on the board on the beach).

The surfing took place in a safe area, and the instructor provided guidance that was manageable for beginners. However, since there was only one instructor, I question whether we received enough attention. That said, the weather was beautiful, the scenery was stunning, and just floating in the ocean felt great. The Hawaiian instructor was cheerful and had a relaxed attitude, not worrying too much about the details, which is definitely a positive aspect. If you think of it as "Hawaiian time," it doesn't bother you at all.

メールが届いてそこからアンケートや誓約書などを書くのですが、その時に写真は希望しないにしてしまい、その後、メールで写真をお願いして了承を貰い、当日も写真を撮ってほしいとお願いしたのですが｢大丈夫｣とはいわれたのですが、予定のインストラクターが現れず、結果、1人のインストラクターで、私たち初心者の3人を見ることになったので、写真は無しになりました(無料で砂浜の上でボードに乗る写真だけは撮っていただきました)。
サーフィンは安全な場所で、初心者に無理の無い様に指導して貰いました。ですがやはり1人のインストラクターだったので十分に出来たかは疑問です。ただ、天気が良く、景色が素晴らしく、海に浮かんでいるだけでも気持ち良く。ハワイのインストラクターは陽気で細かいところは気にしないというおおらかさが良いところではありますね。
ハワイタイム？と思えば気にもなりません。

This was my second time using it. This time, I brought people who were experiencing the Auwana show for the first time. Just like last time, it was a powerful performance!

2回目の利用。
今回はアウアナ初体験の方たちを連れての観劇でした。
前回同様迫力のあるショーでした！

Since it was my first time, I was scared and nervous. However, other customers encouraged me and cheered me on, so I gradually got used to it and was able to enjoy the scenery around me (though I was still scared…). The sea breeze was pleasant and absolutely wonderful.

初めてなので怖くて緊張しまた。他のお客様さん達が声をかけてくれたり盛り上げてくれたので少しずつ慣れてきて周りの景色を見れました(やはり怖かったですが…)海の風はここち良く最高でした。

There was a Japanese video explanation beforehand, so even if you're anxious about your English skills, you can participate with peace of mind. The horses were very gentle, and it was no problem at all even for those with no riding experience. The magnificent scenery surrounded by the sea and mountains was truly breathtaking, and I was able to fully appreciate Kualoa Ranch. After horseback riding, there was a bit of a wait for the shuttle bus back, but there were souvenir shops, restaurants, and a plaza, so I didn't have to worry about having too much free time. Additionally, the availability of paid lockers that you can access freely was convenient and helpful. The staff were all very kind, and I had a great experience.

事前に日本語のビデオ説明があり、英語が不安でも安心して参加できます。
馬はとても大人しく、乗馬経験がまったくなくても問題ありませんでした。
海と山に囲まれた雄大な景色は本当に圧巻で、クアロアランチを存分に感じられました。
乗馬後は、帰りの便のシャトルバスまで少し待ち時間がありましたが、お土産物屋さんや飲食店、広場があるので時間を持て余すことはありませんでした。
また、取り出し自由な有料のコインロッカーが用意されているのも便利で助かりました。
スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切で、良い経験ができました。

The theater inside the hotel is small, but you can see the entire stage well even from the cheaper seats. It gets crowded before entry, but since it's inside the hotel, you can feel secure. Because it's a small theater, entering and exiting was also smooth.

ホテル内の劇場のためこじんまりしていますが、安い席でも全体がよく見えます。入場前は混雑していますがホテル内のため安心です。小規模劇場のため出入りもスムーズでした。

Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.

優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。

I had some experience with horseback riding, but due to physical limitations, I hadn't ridden for a while. Most riding clubs in Japan follow the British style, but trail riding is done in the American style, so there are differences in handling the reins and saddle. In a group, we only walked in a line and couldn't run, but on the other hand, it was more than enough to enjoy touching the horses and experiencing the grandeur of nature. The horses are calm and obedient, so even beginners can take photos with their smartphones using one hand. If anything happens, the accompanying guide quickly comes to assist and provide instruction, which is reassuring. The mountain paths have some ups and downs, but the horses are used to it. I thought we would be able to walk along the coast, but instead, we walked along a road that overlooked the coastline, which felt nice in its own way. If you're not used to it, your position on the saddle can shift, so it's important to pay attention to your balance on both sides to ride well. Finally, I thanked the horse that carried me and patted it in appreciation.

乗馬の経験はありましたが、身体のハンデでしばらく乗っていませんでした、日本の乗馬クラブはほとんどブリティシュスタイルですが外乗乗馬はアメリカンスタイルなの　で鞍手綱さばきに違いがありグループで隊列で歩くのみで走ることはできません、逆に馬に触れ自然の雄大さを満喫して楽しむには十分以上です、馬も大人しく従順なので初乗馬でも片手でスマホ撮影できます、何かあれば同道のガイドさんがすぐ駆けつけ指導してくれるので安心です。山道は多少起伏がありますが馬は慣れたものです、海は海岸沿いを歩けるかとおもいきや海沿いの道を通るだけで眼下に海岸を見下ろして歩きますそれはそれで気持ち良し。慣れないとお尻の位置が鞍からずれてくるので常に左右のバランスには注意すると上手く乗れます。最後乗せてくれた馬にお礼を言い撫ぜて感謝しました。

Since the guide was very energetic and spoke in English from the morning, I had some concerns about the mountain climbing, but my motivation to climb increased.

朝からとても元気よく英語でのガイドしてくれたので山登りに多少の心配がありましたが、登る気分が高まりました。

1000ft flying was awesome and we were really excited! All stuff is friendly and humorous. We will absolutely come back here to enjoy Hawaii ocean again. Thank you!

The shuttle driver was cheerful and it was fun. It takes a bit of physical effort, but once you reach the top and see the view, your spirits lift, and I even saw a rainbow. It was a bit cloudy, so if it had been sunnier, it would have been even better.

送迎の運転手さんが愉快で楽しかった。
体力は少し使うけど、登りきって景色を見れば気分上々で虹も見れました。
少し曇り気味だったのでもっと晴れてたらもっと最高

We participated as a group of six, including a couple and my brother's family (in their 50s, 20s, and a high school student). It was cloudy and a bit chilly in the morning, but by 9 AM, the sun came out, and we were able to fly in clear skies. The staff was friendly and easy to understand, and we even got to see whales, making it a wonderful New Year!

夫婦と弟家族の6人（50代と20代と高校生）で参加しました。朝一番は曇っていて少し寒そうでしたが、9時からの私たちは日も照り出し快晴の中を飛べました。スタッフの方も分かりやすく親切で、クジラも観れてとても良いお正月になりました!!

The catamaran ride offered beautiful views, and the Hawaiian fishpond tour was educational.

The Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour was a fun and fascinating experience and well paced!
