It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time

We started with a total of about 12 people from Hyatt. It was easy to get to the top of the hill by car. The bicycles have brakes on the handlebars, just like in Japan, so if you're used to riding, it's a breeze. An instructor led the way at the front, and a van driven by another staff member followed us at the back, which was reassuring. We stopped at scenic spots along the way to take photos. The views of Waikiki and the west side were both very beautiful. Although the details mentioned snacks and mineral water would be included, those were not provided. Our family had brought water, so it wasn't a problem.
Thank you! I loved this experience.

This was my first zipline experience, and I was able to enjoy it safely and securely. There are no Japanese-speaking staff, but all the staff are very kind and provide easy-to-understand explanations, even for those who cannot speak English. Zipping through the breathtaking views of Hawaii will create unforgettable memories, so although it can be difficult to get there without renting a car, I highly recommend experiencing it.

We participated as a family since there were activities available for children aged 5 and under, and we had never touched a dolphin before.
We arrived at the park around 10 AM. There was a line for entry, so we waited in line. After waiting for 10 or 20 minutes, the line wasn't moving much. Since the activity was scheduled for 11 AM, we felt a bit anxious and frustrated. We finally got in and made our way to the dolphin pool. We weren't sure where to go for preparation, but we rushed in at the last moment, and thankfully, we made it. It would have been better if the entry process was smoother. Also, it would be helpful if the preparation area had clearer maps or guides.
The interaction with the dolphin (Nalu) was great. The explanations were in English, so those who are not familiar with English might not understand, but you can still enjoy the atmosphere. The fun time went by in a flash, and since the pickup for our return was at 2 PM, we didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the park. That's a bit disappointing. It seems that visiting this park twice might be enough to fully enjoy it.
5歳の子どもが参加できるアクティビティという制限の中、イルカに触れたことなかったので、親子で参加。
パークには10時ころに到着。入場は列ができていたので、並んで待っていました。10分、20分待てど列はなかなか前へ進みません。11時からのアクティビティなのでちょっと不安、イライラが。何とか入って、イルカのプールへ。どこに準備でどこに行くのかわからず最後に駆け込むように、でも間に合ってよかったです。もう少し入場がスムーズならいいのですが。あと準備の場所も案内図などが分かりやすければよいのですが。
イルカ(Nalu君)との触れあいは良かったです。説明は英語なので、英語不慣れな方は理解できないと思いますが、雰囲気で楽しめますよ。
楽しい時間はあっという間、14時には帰りのピックアップがくるので、パーク内で十分に堪能できなかった。ちょっと残念。
このパークは2回ほど行くと十分楽しめるのかも。

The English was easy to understand, and it was a safe experience with a small group. The horseback riding experience in the beautiful sea of the North Shore was incredibly moving. The riding time was 1.5 hours, and it was more cost-effective than other tours with Japanese-speaking guides and transportation. We used hui car share for transportation, so after horseback riding, we were able to leisurely enjoy food walking in Haleiwa. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to try sunset horseback riding.

I saw in the notes that there were people in sandals, so I thought it would be fine to go in sandals, but it wasn't. I ended up buying shoes at a souvenir shop... Please be careful.
I didn't request a shuttle and took the bus from Ala Moana Shopping Center. Along the way, an employee wearing a Kualoa T-shirt got on, which gave me a strange sense of reassurance. There were already Jurassic Park-like mountains on the bus ride, and I was amazed. The bus was extremely cold!!
When it was time for horseback riding, we gathered at the barn. When they asked about my English skills and I said I wasn't good at it, they showed us a video for Japanese speakers on a monitor. There were two other groups of customers besides us, making a total of six people for the ride. It was fun to walk through the mountains, across the fields, and see the ocean, but the main attraction, Jurassic Park, never appeared! It seems there are routes like that... I was really disappointed.
I had enough time to take pictures and videos with my smartphone.

I participated with my daughter (150m).
Due to weight restrictions, two participants are required (it seems that if you're over 80kg, you can participate alone), so we joined as a family of two. The meeting point was at the boat harbor, just a few minutes' walk from the Hilton Lagoon, which made it convenient without any hassle or loss of time, allowing us to fill our free time easily.
We were worried about dropping our phones, so we participated with a waterproof camera attached to a strap, but there were others in a different group who were taking selfies with a selfie stick (of course, at their own risk...).
The 150m height is truly impressive, with all the buildings visible below and a fantastic view of the surroundings. Also, if you wish (?), it seems they can provide some bouncing near the water's surface.
Although not much Japanese is spoken, I think you can manage since there are other groups around.
母娘で参加しました(150m)
体重の関係で2名の参加が必須(80kg以上なら単独も可能みたいですが)という事で家族2名で参加しました。待ち合わせ場所はヒルトンのラグーンから徒歩数分のボートハーバーで移動の負担やロスがない点がよく、空き時間を埋めやすかったです。
自分たちは携帯は落下させそうで怖かったので防水カメラにストラップ付けて参加しましたが、別の組では自撮り棒で頑張って撮影されてる方もいました(もちろん自己責任…)
150mというのは本当に高く建物は全て眼下に見え、周囲が一望できる点が素晴らしいです。また希望すれば(?)、水面付近での乱高下などもして貰えるようです。
あまり日本語は通じませんが別の組も居るので勝手は分かるかと思います。

I participated in a dolphin encounter with elementary and middle school students.
If you take the shuttle bus from the Marriott Hotel on the east side of Waikiki, it departs around 9:00 AM, so you don't need to wake up too early, and the travel distance is not too long (about 30 minutes). The bus also has a restroom, making it easy to participate with children.
The aquarium is of medium size, and there isn't a significant difference in the dolphin and sea lion shows compared to Japan. (Don't compare it to places like Churaumi, Kaiyukan, or Hakkeijima.)
The important part of interacting with the dolphins can be experienced slowly over a good amount of time (about 45 minutes?), and companions can take photos from the opposite shore (which has shade), so there were several participants with one child and one guardian. (Dads took photos and watched the bags from the shore.)
There are also tours to search for wild dolphins offshore, but for families with children, the early departure time and travel distance can be challenging, and since you can't guarantee seeing or interacting with them, the kids said they were glad to have participated in this tour.
小学生、中学生を連れてドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。
ワイキキ東側のマリオットホテルから送迎バスでの出発であれば、9:00頃なのであまり早起きも必要なく移動距離も長すぎず(30分程度)、バスにトイレも付いているので子連れでも参加しやすかったです。
水族館としての規模は中程度で、イルカやアシカのショーも日本と比べて大きな違いはありません。(美ら海、海遊館、八景島などと比べてはいけません)
肝心のイルカとの触れ合いはゆっくりと時間をかけて体験できる(45分程度?)のと、同行者も対岸(日陰もあり)などから撮影は出来るので、子供+保護者1名での参加者も数名いました。(お父さんは陸から撮影&荷物番)
他に沖で野生のイルカを探すツアーもありますが、子連れには出発時刻(早朝)や移動距離の苦労もあり、確定で会える訳でも触れる訳でもない為、本ツアーに参加してよかったと子供たちも言っていました。

I think it's better to take excessive measures against seasickness. Even if the waves are calm when departing, once you head out to sea, the weather doesn't matter and the waves can be high, making you feel sick even in the cage.
I couldn't understand anything from the English guide, but it was manageable.
There are a huge number of sharks, and they don't attack, making the experience wonderful.
とにかく船酔い対策は過剰なくらいした方がいいと思います。
出航する時は波が穏やかでも沖に出れば天候など関係なく波が高く、檻に入っても酔います。

On the boat, they seemed to think we didn't understand English, so we were a bit neglected, which was a little disappointing. The explanations were somewhat lacking, but we could understand by watching others, so I wasn't too worried. The parasailing was fun with great views. Since we go out to sea on the boat for parasailing, I recommend taking medication if you are prone to motion sickness.

Destination was easy to find. The guides were very attentive and got us all on the horses fairly quickly. I've never really ridden a horse before so I was a bit nervous of maneuvering my horse but she was a go getter so I didn't have to try too hard. We all rode in a line which was very easy. We had to stop a few times which my horse hated, I got a very impatient horse which I don't blame her. Kinda wished we went a quicker pace but then that would shorten our trip which was 1.5hrs which .5 of that was loading and unloading the horses. I wish the trail was a bit longer. The area was beautiful and quiet which I like. I got some good pictures. We used my step daughters phone for the group pictures cause she had a better camera but when she sent me the pics they came out blurry and I don't get to see her often. Was a little disappointed but it was OK. Technical error. Overall great experience and got to feed the horses treats in the end.

I arrived at the meeting point at 10:15 for my 10:30 reservation. However, I was told the start time was 10:45, so I bought a hot dog and a pineapple smoothie from a nearby stall for breakfast!
Unfortunately, we were the only Japanese people there (there was one group before us). There were 12 of us who boarded the boat and headed out to sea. There is a place to store your belongings at the feet of the boat! With 12 people, a sense of teamwork naturally develops, so I thought theft was unlikely. If there had been other Japanese people, we could have taken pictures together... what a shame! Just before jumping, the crew asks if you want to take a picture. You can view the photos (about 130) later at the reception, and if you like any, they can be transferred to an SD card or your phone for $40. You also have the option not to buy them.
Anyway, since we had to wait for the other groups to jump, anyone prone to seasickness definitely needs to take motion sickness medication. Two people from our team ended up vomiting.
10時30分予約で、15分に集合場所に行きました。

I participated in the initial practice for snorkeling because I was anxious about going out to sea the next day. Since it was my first experience with snorkeling, the calm waves made it a great place for beginners. All the instructions were in English. They explained how to put on the gear, how to breathe, and the precautions. After that, we practiced in an area where we couldn't touch the bottom. It was mentioned that there was a locker for valuables, but all participants' belongings were placed in a large box with a lock, which was mostly left open. It's better not to bring valuables.
Since it was the same location as scuba diving, it seemed there were staff members coming and going. There were only park restrooms and an outdoor shower. This time, there were two children and me, along with two Americans in our group. For those who can't swim, the instructor pulls a float, so you can hold on and practice. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels anxious about going straight into the sea.
翌日の海に出てシュノーケリングが不安だったのでの初練習として参加。初体験シュノーケリングなので参加して波が穏やかで、初体験の場所として良かったです。説明は全て英語です。付け方や息の仕方の方法、注意事項を説明その後は足が付かない所でずっと練習、貴重品ロッカーと書いてありましたが、大きな鍵付きの箱の中に参加者全員の荷物を入れる、ほぼ開けっぱなしです。貴重品は持たない方が良いですね。

Since I made a last-minute reservation, the shuttle service plan was fully booked, so I chose the non-shuttle, early morning, 2-hour horseback riding plan. I was a bit scared to drive in Hawaii since I wasn't used to it, so I took an Uber taxi, spending about 10,000 yen one way to get there. It takes about 45 minutes from Waikiki.
The ranch has lockers available for a fee, but when I went, they were out of order, so I was worried about participating with my backpack on. However, the instructor kindly asked me to take off my backpack, and I awkwardly asked the ticket counter staff to hold it for me. (I gave a tip when I got my belongings back after the experience.) I wasn't sure if this was the correct way to do it since my English wasn't sufficient… I slightly regretted not knowing if I should have given a tip when asking to hold my things, but the staff was very accommodating.
Small shoulder bags are also not allowed, so I used a waist bag and kept my valuables with me. *It seems carrying bags on your shoulder is not permitted.
Since the horseback riding experience is done in groups of six, it's understandable that reservations fill up quickly!
I had read beforehand that helmets can cause headaches, so I tried on several to find one that fit well.
The horseback riding experience was absolutely amazing. I was able to enjoy the vast land, impressive mountains, and the gentle, wise horses as we moved along slowly, taking in nature. Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, it added to the atmosphere and was wonderful. The instructor primarily spoke in English, but occasionally provided instructions in Japanese, which I appreciated despite feeling a bit guilty.
At one point, the instructor took photos with her iPhone and shared them via Airdrop at the end of the experience.
I also passed by customers on four-wheeler buggies and bus tours, happily greeting them with "Aloha!" and had a great time.
The experience ended just after 10 AM, allowing me to make the most of the rest of the day, creating wonderful memories.

インストラクターさんからバックパックはおろしてくださいね〜と注意があり、
アワアワしながらチケットカウンターのお姉さんにバックパックを預かってもらいました。
(体験後、荷物を返してもらう際にチップを渡しました。)
↑英語が十分に話せなかったため、これが正しい方法なのか不明です…
普通預かってもらうときにチップ渡すべき…?と少し後悔しておりますが
ひとまず、スタッフさんは快く預かってくれました。
小さなショルダーバッグもNGなので、
ウエストバッグにして、貴重品は所持していました。
※荷物を肩にかけるのはNGとのこと
乗馬は6人1組で体験するので、
予約がすぐに埋まってしまうのも頷けました!
事前に、ヘルメットで頭が痛くなる…という体験談を読んでいたため、
いくつか試着してちょうど良いものを選びました。
乗馬体験はもう、それはそれは最高で、
広大な大地、迫力のある山々、
穏やかで賢いお馬ちゃんたちと一緒にポクポクとゆっくり進みながら、
楽しく自然を感じることができました。
生憎の曇り空でしたが、それもそれで雰囲気があって最高です。
インストラクターのお姉さんは、9割英語での説明ですが
時折日本語で一生懸命指示してくれて、申し訳ない気持ちと共に有り難かったです。
途中で、お姉さんのiPhoneで写真を撮ってくれて、
体験の終わりにAirdropで共有してくれました。
4輪バギーや、バスツアーのお客さんともすれ違って、
「アロハ〜」と陽気に挨拶しながらめちゃくちゃ楽しみました。
体験は10時過ぎにには終了したので、
その後の1日も有効に過ごせてとても良い思い出です。

It was a wonderful experience for beginners. Our instructor was patient and explained everything thoroughly. I liked that we snorkeled in a cove making the waters calm.

Absolutely amazing combination. Scenery and guides were excellent. Bit disappointed in the movie tour as part of sets deteriorated because of passage of time. Also thought you would see more of current sets. Farm Tour was very interesting which also included some movie sets. Lunch was excellent.
Overall great day out and fantastic place that is trying to maintain green friendly eco systems and preserve area for future generations.
Would definitely go again as there were other trips like zip lining which we did not have time to do,
