Oahu
This time I skipped lunch, but it was no problem. I had a taste test of potato chips from the snack shop instead. The area around the hamburger shop is very crowded, but the benches near the entrance are available. I didn't spend much time on lunch, so I had plenty of time to play. I will skip lunch again next time.
At departure and upon arrival, my voucher was checked. Having a copy makes entry smooth.
今回はランチ無しにしましたが、問題なし。昼食は、売店のポテトチップ食べ比べで済ませました。ハンバーガーショップ近辺は、大変混み合っていますが、出入口の近くのベンチは空いてます。ランチに時間をかけず、その分たっぷり遊びました。次回もランチ無しにします。
出発時と現地に着いた時、バウチャーを確認されました。コピーを持っていると、入場がスムーズです。
I'm glad I went! I had so much fun!
The day before, I fell and got a minor scrape on my palm, so I was a bit anxious and nervous, sweating from my hands, but to sum it up, it was no problem at all. You don't need grip strength for the zip line.
The lockers are small, about the size of a valuables box at a public bath. Larger items need to be left at the office, which was free of charge. A cautious companion (who was told it was at their own risk and left their smartphone) said, "If it’s this safe, I should have brought my smartphone on the course." I think as long as you take precautions to avoid dropping it, you should bring it.
There were many older participants who were actively enjoying themselves, striking poses and even going upside down. However, I think lighter children might stop midway due to not gaining enough speed, so I recommend waiting until they are older to participate.
行って良かったです!すごく楽しかったです!
前日に転んで手のひらに軽いすり傷を負ってしまったので、大丈夫かなあという不安と緊張で手汗が止まらなかったのですが、結論から言うと全然問題なかったです。ジップラインに握力は必要ないので。
ロッカーは銭湯にある貴重品ボックス程の小さいものです。それより大きい持ち物はオフィスに預けます。無料でした。慎重な同行者(自己責任と言われてスマホは預けた)も「こんなに安全ならスマホをコースに持ち込めばよかった」と。落とさない工夫だけしておけば、持っていくべきだと思います。
ご年配の参加者もたくさんいらっしゃって、ポーズをとったり逆さまになったりと、皆さん積極的に楽しんでおられました。ただ、体重の軽いお子さまはスピードが出ずに途中で止まってしまうと思うので、大人の身体になってからの参加をおススメします。
My elementary school child wanted to see dolphins, so we participated. Unfortunately, the water clarity was poor, but we were able to see many dolphins, and it seemed like they had a lot of fun swimming with them. Even for adults, it felt a bit challenging to swim, so I thought it would be tough to pull along my first-grade child, but the staff helped by swimming with the kids, which was a great relief. Next time, I want to participate on a day with better visibility.
小学生の子供がイルカを見たいと言うので参加しました。
残念ながら透明度は悪かったですが、沢山のイルカを見れて、一緒に泳げた事で、とても楽しかったようです。
大人でも少しハードに感じるくらい泳ぐので
小学1年生の子供を引っ張って泳ぐのは大変と思っていましたが、スタッフの方が子供を連れて泳いでくれたので、とても助かりました。
今度は透明度の良い日に参加したいです。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School.
We hope you will join us again when you come to Hawaii.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to seeing you.
MAHALO!

I recommend this specific experience to anyone visiting Oahu, and especially staying in Waikiki. There are many companies you can go with -- this was my third time parasailing, and by far the best one yet. Parasailing is all the same, unless the person driving the boat and the person helping you into the gear are FUN and ENERGETIC. Both crew members who took the group out were in great moods, seemed like they were having fun and not "working" -- they were in high spirits, played great music, cracked jokes with all of us, and the whole time I felt safe and wanted to go all over again. My advice to future goers is to book the higher parasail (1,000 ft) -- this is because you go even higher and are up for a longer time. It's so peaceful once you get up there, and really fun to ride on the boat with others after you've gone. There were about ten people in my group, and we all seemed to have an amazing time. 5 stars!
The captain and crew of this boat were phenomenal! They created at atmosphere that was relaxed, fun and entertaining (no easy feat considering the diverse group on board!). The food was surprisingly excellent (we had low expectations and were quite pleasantly surprised) :) The drinks were quite good, generous and not watered down at all (again, something common on other cruises). The views were spectacular and the captain made sure that everyone knew what was coming and how / where to enjoy the sights. We would absolutely go out on this boat / trip again any time were on the island. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
Thank you so much! We do try our best to bring a great sailing experience to all of our guests. Have a great day! Aloha MakaniCat
Pickup from the hotel to near Hilton.
There were hardly any Japanese people at the meeting place.
It was helpful that there was a Japanese channel on the headphones in the submarine.
However, you can't see big fish, and you won't see beautiful fish, so if you expect those, you'll be disappointed.
ホテルからヒルトンそばまでピックアップ。
集合場所はほぼ日本人はいませんでした。
潜水艦ではヘッドフォンから日本語のチャンネルがあるから助かりました。
ただ大きな魚は見えないし、綺麗な魚も見れないのでそういうものを期待するとがっかりします。
The Driver was at our hotel on time, he was courteous and professional. Friendly as well. He gave good directions and made sure our snorkel gear was in good working order. He was early for our pick up and got us safely back to our hotel. The bay is amazing and it was by far the best place I have snorkeled and that is why I returned with my family.
I participated alone. There were eight participants in total, including myself, with four men and four women.
We had a pleasant video training session before heading to the beach. The beach was visible as we left the hotel. It took about ten minutes to walk there, and three coaches were already waiting for us, conducting a relaxed lesson on the sandy beach (practicing paddling and standing).
The boards were long and a bit heavy. We paired up to carry them to the sea and moved out into the waves.
On this day, the waves were about three meters high.
As a 67-year-old beginner, it required quite a bit of physical strength.
In the end, I was able to stand for about five seconds. Lacking stamina and with the high waves, I got tired after three attempts and returned to shore alone.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience in Hawaii. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I thoroughly enjoyed a Hawaii like no other.
一人参加しました。参加者は私を含めて8名でした。男女4名づつでした。
レッスンの前のビデオ研修を和やかに受けイザビーチへ。
ビーチはホテルを出て見えてます。歩いて10分ほどで到着、すでにコーチ3人が待ち構えており、和やかに砂浜でレッスン(パドリングや立ち方練習)
ボードはロングで少し重たいです。2名ペアで海まで運び、沖へ進む。
この日は波が3メートルほどありました。
当方、67歳の初心者には、かなりの体力を要しました。
結果、立つこともできましたが、5秒程です。
体力無く、波高く、3回で疲れて岸に単独で戻りました。
いいハワイ経験させていただきありがとうございました。
ハワイ旅行は5度目ですが、今までにないハワイを満喫いたしました。
The crew members are kind and attentive. It was reassuring that they could speak Japanese. You can see schools of fish while snorkeling. Sea turtles come close enough to touch. They are protected animals, so you shouldn't touch them, but it's definitely an unforgettable experience. In any case, I recommend it because you can see the beautiful ocean!
クルーの方々が親切丁寧です。日本語が通じるので、安心感がありました。シュノーケリングも魚が群れになってるところが見れます。ウミガメめ触れられる距離に来てくれます。保護動物なので、触れてはいけませんが感動間違い無しです。とにかく、美しい海を見ることができるので、お勧めします!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. The contrast of colors at the sandbar makes for beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing them. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。サンドバーの色のコントラストが綺麗な写真ですね!!シェアして頂いてありがとうございます。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I arrived about 10 to 15 minutes early, and there weren't many people yet. People started gathering around five minutes before the event.
I had a standard seat, but it was close to the stage and very easy to see! I think the seats themselves are not that different.
The food was delicious, and I had a really enjoyable time! The Polynesian dances from various regions were wonderful!
集合時間より10〜15分程早く着いたらまだあんま人はおらず。5分前頃から人が集まってきました。
スタンダードシートですがステージから近く、とても見やすかったです!座席自体はそんな大差ないかと思います。
料理も美味しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました!各地のポリネシアンダンスが素敵でした!
I chose the direct hotel transfer and made a reservation, but there were multiple announcements at the airport counter and on the bus. I communicated that I didn't need to stop at Ala Moana, but in the end, we stopped at Ala Moana for a while. It seems that stopping at Ala Moana is mandatory.
Since I was traveling with children and there was a large group, it was a bit frustrating. Other than that, there were no particular issues.
ホテル直行を選択して申し込みしましたが、
空港のカウンターでも乗車したバスの中でも何度もアナウンス。
アラモアナ立ち寄りはいらないと伝えたが、
結局アラモアナに寄ってしばらく停車。
アラモアナは立ち寄りを必ずするようです。
子連れ、団体の大人数だったので、
少しうんざりしました。
その他は特に問題ありませんでした
This was our first time in Hawaii so we wanted to see as much of Oahu as we could and this tour was a great way to do it. Our driver/tour guide/waiter Steve was excellent; filling us in with fun facts about Waikiki and the places we passed along the way, recommendations for activities and places to eat and restroom breaks along the way! Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.
Hi Karen,
Thanks! for your 5 star review of Steve, your great recommendation and our adventure!
Mahalo Nui Loa,
Michael
I woke up at 5 AM and moved to the meeting place in the dim light.
I was worried because I had heard that a tropical storm was coming from the south, but with dawn came clear skies. The sea was calm as well.
The bus provided a thorough explanation beforehand. After boarding, they quickly distributed the equipment.
About 15 minutes after boarding, we encountered a pod of dolphins. We were able to see the dolphins up close as they swam back and forth without needing to change boats.
We moved to another spot for snorkeling. We saw two green sea turtles and an eel, among other things.
The guide mentioned that this was one of the top ten best days of the year.
As expected with wildlife, timing and luck play a role. It seemed challenging to find the dolphins that day, but I felt that the staff here would give their all regardless.
I was able to enjoy the entire experience since I took motion sickness medication.
However, the air conditioning in the car broke on the way back, so I’ll give it a ☆-1.
This can't be helped, but...
Thank you to all the staff and to the god of Waianae!
朝、5時起きで、薄暗い中、集合場所へ移動。
南側にトロピカルストームが来てると、聞いていたので、心配していましたが、夜明けと共に快晴。海も、穏やかでした。
バスで事前に丁寧に説明して下さっていました。乗船後も、テキパキ道具を配って下さいました。
乗船後、15分程で、イルカの群れと遭遇。
船に乗り直すことなく、何度も行き来するイルカを間近でみれました。
移動して、もう一度、シュノーケリング。
アオウミガメ2頭と、ウツボなどもみれました。
今年、10本の指に入るいい日だとガイドさんがおっしゃってました。
やはり、野生動物なのでタイミングと運は、ありますね。
イルカを探す日は、大変そうでしたが、そんな日でも、ここのスタッフさんだと、全力でやってくれると思えました。
酔い止めを、飲んでいたので、終始楽しめました。
帰りの車のエアコンが壊れてしまったので☆-1
これは、仕方ないんですが、、、
スタッフの皆さん、ワイアナエの神さま、ありがとうございました
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program! I'm glad to hear that you were able to fully enjoy the sight of the wild animals. I apologize for any inconvenience during the return bus ride. We will strive to make the tour better from start to finish, so if you have another opportunity, please feel free to reach out. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! 野生の動物達の姿を存分にお楽しみいただけたようで良かったです。帰りのバスでは不便な思いをさせてしまい失礼致しました。 初めから終わりまでより良いツアーとなるよう尽力してまいりますので、また機会がございましたらどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。MAHALO!!
I saw that it was written they would arrive on time, so even though it was early in the morning, I checked out early and waited about 15 minutes before the scheduled time. When the time came and they still hadn't arrived, the hotel porter also seemed worried and asked if my reservation was confirmed. They arrived about 15 minutes late. There were a few other people getting on, and once I got in the car, I felt relieved that we were heading to the airport. However, after 10 minutes without any communication, I became quite anxious. They don't always arrive on time.
時間通りに来ると書いてあったのを見ていたので、朝早い時間ですが、早めにチェックアウトを済ませて、予定時間の15分くらい前から待っていました。時間になっても中々来ず、ホテルのポーターさんも予約出来てるの?と心配しましたが、15分くらい遅れて到着しました。他にも何人か乗っていて車に乗ると空港に行けると安心しましたが、10分を超えると連絡ないのでかなり心配になります。時間通りに着くとは限らないです。
Since the pickup was from the Big Island, I thought we would go to the international terminal, but Hawaiian Airlines came to get us, so the transfer was smooth.
ハワイ島からの送迎なので国際の方に回るかと思っていましたが、ハワイアン航空にきていただけたので、スムーズな移動ができました。
I experienced this with my fifth-grade son. At first, he was really scared, but once we got up there, he saw a view he had never experienced before and had a great time! I'm really glad we participated in this tour!
小学5年生の息子と体験しました。
初めは、物凄く怖がっていましたが、いざ上に上がってみると今まで経験した事がない景色が見れて、凄く楽しんでました!
このツアーに参加して凄く良かったと思います!
I went with my wife, and we had a great time.
First, we arrived after about 1 hour and 30 minutes by shuttle from Waikiki. After checking in, we were gathered with our group and fitted with the gear. We did a practice zip line and then moved by buggy (which was intense), and then it was time for the real zip line? There are some really beautiful spots with great views since it's on a high ground. We were taking a lot of photos with our GOPRO and smartphones, making sure not to drop them.
There are no restrooms along the way, so be sure to go beforehand! They will hold your bags for you. I put my valuables in a locker with a lock. I regret forgetting to buy a T-shirt. I couldn't buy it online.
妻と行きました。とても楽しかったです。
まずはワイキキから送迎シャトルで1時間30分くらいで到着。受付を済ませたら一緒にまわるグループ(時間帯)が集められ装具を着けてもらいました。練習のジップをしてバギーで移動(激しい)、後は本番?ジップラインをやります。高台にあるのでとても景色がいいスポットがあります。GOPROやスマホを落ちないように持ってたくさん撮影していました。わたしたちも。
途中にトイレはありませんので事前に!
バッグは預かってくれます。貴重品だけ鍵付きのロッカーに入れました。
Tシャツ買い忘れたのが心残り。ネットで買えませんでした。
All other tours were fully booked, so we chose this one, and we had a great time.
For us, who were worried about not being able to keep up with a more intense itinerary, this was just the right amount of activity. The free time at the sandbar and snorkeling were perfectly timed for enjoyment. Although we didn't see any sea turtles while swimming, we encountered several from the boat. The children were very happy and expressed a desire to participate again.
There were also restrooms available, so we didn't have any issues.
予約がいっぱいで他のツアーは取れなくてこちらにしたのですが、とても楽しめました。
あまりハードな内容だとついていけないと不安だった私たちにとってはちょうど良い内容でした。サンドバーでの自由時間やシュノーケリングなどちょうど良い時間配分で楽しめます。泳ぎながらウミガメは見えませんでしたが、船の上から何匹もウミガメに会えました。子供たちもとても喜んでいてまたぜひ参加したいと思いました。
トイレなどもあったので困る事はなかったです。
The president personally guided us, but when there are dolphins, we have to jump into the sea quickly, and I was rushed with comments like "You're too slow to jump!" and "Hurry up and get ready!" Even if they rush us, we're beginners and can't respond quickly. I wish they could take it a bit easier. It made me quite anxious.
I did see dolphins, but the water was murky, so it felt like I could only see their shadows.
学長さん自らが案内してくれたが、イルカがいたら急いで海に飛び込まないといけないのだが、飛び込みが遅い!とか早く準備して!とか急かされる。急かしたところでこちらは初心者なので急には対応出来ない。もう少しのんびり構えてもらいたい。ビクビクしてしまう。
イルカは観れたけど海が濁っていて影が見えるという感じ
I apologize if I made you feel rushed while trying to ensure you had the opportunity to see the dolphins. I will be more mindful of timing when reaching out to you. Thank you for your feedback.
皆さんに観ていただけるようイルカとのタイミングを逃さないようにお声掛けしているのですが、お気持ちを焦らせてしまったようで申し訳御座いません。
お客様のタイミングを測ってお声掛けできるよう気をつけさせていただきます。
ご意見ありがとう御座いました。
Compared to another cruising company, this one had a more subdued atmosphere without the wild partying. The combination of fireworks, sea breeze, and drinks was fantastic.
別のもう一つのクルージング会社に対してこちらはどんちゃん騒ぎせず大人しい感じ。花火と海風とお酒の組み合わせは最高だった。
We participated as a family. I was nervous, but my child said it was the most fun they had during the trip, so I'm glad we took part!
家族で参加しました
緊張していましたが子供も旅行の中で1番楽しかったそうで参加してよかったなと思いました!
I participated with five friends! One of my friends was trying parasailing for the first time and was really nervous before doing it, but afterwards, they looked very satisfied and it was great that we joined.
友人たちと5人で参加しました!
友人の中には初めてのパラセイリングの子もいてやるまでとてもどきどきしていましたが終わった後はとても満足そうで参加してよかったです
Best snorkel trip I’ve ever done. Crew was great and entertaining and would definitely book again.
Our group of 3 adults and 3 kids (12 yrs, 10, 10) took this trip a few weeks back during our vacation. We were not in the hotel zone so drove ourselves to Kaneohe Marina. Quick boat trip out to the sand bar, then to find honu (sea turtles) and finally out to a reef for some amazing snorkeling. Lunch (surprisingly delicious) was in there somewhere. Our crew was great - super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed hearing about Kaneohe Bay and the surrounding area. The only improvement I'd ask for is a bit more time out at the sandbar - felt like we could have stayed longer but other than that, everyone had a great time. We visit Hawaii every summer and try to hit new spots and new activities each visit. Our group agreed that we'd do this trip again if we could. Have fun!
I missed the meeting place and ended up passing by and going all the way to Waikiki, which made me anxious, but I managed to make it in time. It was my first time seeing the fireworks festival on Friday. After that, I went sailing for nearly an hour and was able to see the sparkling stars on the night sea, with the moon rising over Diamond Head, creating a magical view. Next time, I want to join to see the sunset.
集合場所がわからずに通り過ぎてワイキキまで行ってしまい、焦りましたが何とか間に合いました。金曜日の花火大会は初めて見ました。その後はセイリングで1時間近く夜の海を星の輝き、ダイヤモンドヘッドの上に月が上がり幻想的な景色を見ることができました。今度はサンセットを見に参加したいです。
I thought I could manage with a little bit of English since I understand it to some extent, but it was a bit tough. I expected that it would be okay if I didn't understand the explanations during the tour due to my limited English skills, but there were many times I struggled to understand things like the meeting times at each sightseeing spot and the lunch explanations. I think you need to have a decent level of English to book this tour. As for the attractions, I was really happy to see many turtles basking on the beach.
片言程度ですが少しは英語がわかるから英語ガイドツアーでもなんとかなるかなと思ってましたが、ちょっと厳しかったです。
英語力がないので観光案内の説明は分からなくても仕方ないと思っていましたが、各観光スポットでの集合時間や、昼食の説明など、よく理解できないところが度々ありました。
このツアーを予約する場合は、それなりに英語力がないと厳しいと思いました。
観光地的には、浜辺で甲羅干ししているカメがたくさんいて、それを見れたのは嬉しかった。
As soon as you exit the airport, there is a noticeable desk, and they smoothly handled my suitcase just by showing my name without needing to present a voucher. The driver only spoke English, so he provided some sightseeing information, but I didn't catch all the details.
空港出口出てすぐ目立デスクがあり、バウチャー見せずに名前だけでスーツケースを運んでくれスムーズでした。
運転手さんは、英語オンリーなので観光案内もしてくれるんですが、細かくはわからなかったです。
Since I was alone, I was able to get to the airport more affordably than by taxi. The timing was also accurate. The driver helped carry my luggage as well.
一人だったので、タクシーよりお得に空港まで行くことができました。
時間も正確でした。荷物もドライバーの方が運んで下さいました。
I participated with my daughter. It was our first time snorkeling, and we were able to see fish and turtles. The cruise was also fun. The food was very tasty. I recommend it.
娘と二人で参加しました。初めてのシュノーケル、お魚も亀も見れました。
クルーズも楽しかったです。お食事Very tasty.でした。お勧めです。
The scenery was amazing, and the cheerful and reliable crew was also enjoyable. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate!!!!
景色も最高でしたが、陽気で頼もしいクルーも楽しかったです。また、機会があれば、参加したいです!!!!!!!!!!
