Oahu
We gathered at 8:30 and boarded the boat around 9:15. We waited quite a while. From there, it took about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the submarine. The submarine dives into the deep sea, and the scenery is certainly interesting, but it's not very clear. It's difficult to take good photos with a smartphone. It was somewhat frustrating.
8時半に集合して、船に乗ったのが9時15分ぐらい。ずいぶん待った。そこから潜水艦まで20〜30分。潜水艦は潜って深海の景色は確かに面白いが、あまりくっきり見えない。スマホで撮影するとうまく撮れない。なんとなくもどかしかった。
Aloha. Thank you for sharing your review. In fact, at depths exceeding 50 feet, a phenomenon known as "color absorption" occurs. This means that fish and corals with bright colors near the surface take on duller hues, and often everything appears blue. However, this is a privilege of being able to see the ocean at depths that are usually not experienced. We look forward to your valuable feedback and hope to welcome you on another underwater adventure in the future.
アロハ。レビューを共有してくれてありがとう。事実、50フィートを超える深さでは「色の吸収」と呼ばれる現象が発生します。これは、表面近くに明るい色を持つ魚やサンゴがより鈍い色合いを帯び、多くの場合すべてが青く見えることを意味します。ただし、これは、通常は体験できない深さで海を見ることができる特典です。貴重なご意見をお待ちしております。また、今後の別の水中アドベンチャーでお迎えできることを願っています。
Easy morning trip from the centre of Waikiki, staff were excellent and made the family feel relaxed and informed.
Yes the boat is a little tired but hey we had fun as a family , felt safe and would do the trip again.
It's really good to hear that you had fun in the sun!
We all hope to meet you again soon!
Thanks for your good review!
I arrived at Wet 'n Wild just before opening, and I felt reassured by the clear explanation of the return time and location. Upon arrival, I first exchanged my voucher for tickets. After that, there was a baggage check, and any food found would be confiscated but returned upon leaving. I enjoyed various slides and pools in the park. The return time was set for 3 PM, but I would have liked to play longer, so I would be happy with a 4 PM return time.
ウェット アンド ワイルドには開園間際に着き、帰りの時間と場所の説明もきちんとあったので安心でした。
到着してまずはバウチャーからチケットに引き換えます。
その後手荷物検査があり、食べ物は見つかると没収され、帰る時に返却してもらえます。
園内では様々なスライダーやプールを楽しみました。
帰りが15時集合だったのですが、もっと遊びたかったので、16時集合だとうれしいです。
We participated as a family. The staff was kind, and the sea was beautiful. It was a bit disappointing that the sandbar wasn't visible, but seeing the sea turtles up close made for a fun memory.
家族で参加しました
スタッフも親切でしたし海もきれいでした
サンドバーが顔を出していなかったのはちょっと残念でしたが ウミガメも近くに見れて楽しい思い出になりました
I experienced the 150m.
This is definitely something you should try!
You'll understand once you do it. It's not that scary; it just feels great.
Even my 10-year-old daughter, who is scared, was able to do it!
During the boat ride to the spot, you might get seasick depending on the waves, so I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.
150mを体験しました。
これは是非体験すべき!
やってみたら分かります。そんなに怖さはないですよ、とにかく気持ちがいいです。
怖がりの10歳の娘にも出来ましたよー。
沖までのボート移動では波の具合により酔う事があると思うので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。
This was my first time using the service.
The night before, the winds in Waikiki were strong, and I was worried about the sea conditions, but since it was on the west side, I participated in the early morning tour, and the visibility was excellent.
We were able to have a rendezvous with dolphins and sea turtles, and the kids were very satisfied with the tour.
As expected, the winds picked up on the way back, so while it requires an early wake-up, I think the early morning tour is recommended.
The guide, Natsumi, had a great tempo in her guiding, thank you! 🎶
初めて利用させてもらいました。
前日の晩からワイキキきは風が強く、海況が心配でしたが西側のポイントだったからか朝一のツアーに参加したのですが、透明度と言い最高な状況でした。
イルカ、海ガメとのランデブーもでき子供達も大満足なツアーとなりました。
やはり帰りは風が上がってきたので、早起きにはなりますが朝一ツアーがおススメだと思います。
ガイドのナツミさんのテンポ良いガイドも良かったです、ありがとうございましたー♫
Aloha! Thank you, TJ, for participating in the Dolphin Middle School event. We appreciate the beautiful photos of the blue ocean!
We look forward to your next participation. Mahalo!

I was worried that the kids might be scared, especially my first-grade daughter, but all three of them were thrilled and said they wanted to do it again after it was over! The breeze felt nice, and it was a wonderful time for a stroll in the air.
子供達が怖がるかな?特に小学1年生の娘はどうかな?と心配していましたが、子供達3人大喜びで、終わった後またやりたい!!と言っていました。
風も気持ち良く、ステキな空中散歩の時間でした。
Minako talking a lot on the bus in the morning is just so funny!
In Hawaii, it seems they call each other by their first names, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but once you get used to it, it's fine!
The place we're going to is not the beach in the city, but a more remote area where Hawaiian people live, accessed by the highway. I was so moved when we sang to the gods on the boat and saw wild dolphins.
I could even hear their calls.
I’m really, really glad I went.
At the end, we danced and saw sea turtles, beautiful colorful fish, and the vast, deep ocean during the dolphin university snorkeling. I will definitely come back!
朝からバスの中でミナコがいっぱい喋ってるのがとにかく面白い!!
ハワイでは下の名前でそのまま呼ぶらしくちょっぴりドキドキするけど慣れちゃえば平気♪
行くところは街の中の海じゃなくて高速に乗って離れた所にある、ハワイアンの人達が住むところ。船の上で神様に歌を歌って、野生のイルカを見た時にはもう感動しました。
鳴き声も聞こえました。
本当に、本当にいってよかった。
最後にダンスも踊って、ウミガメと綺麗な色とりどりのお魚と広く深く広がる海を見イルカ大学のシュノーケリング、また絶対きます!
Aloha, Yui!
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School tour. It seems like it was a wonderful day for the tour! We hope you will join us again.
Mahalo!
ALOHA ! yui さま
この度はイルカ中学へのご参加ありがとうございました。
とっても素敵なツアー日和だったようですね!
ぜひまたご参加くださいませ。
MAHALO !
I experienced this on the first day, and it was absolutely amazing to see all of Hawaii!!! The vast mountains and the sparkling ocean were breathtaking, and even when we landed, we touched down on the water a little bit. I think this is an activity you should definitely try. I want to do it again!!
初日に体験しましたが、ハワイを一望してすっごい最高!!!
広大な山々とキラキラとした海が見れて降りる時も少し海に着水してもらったり、これはやった方がいいアクティビティだと思います。
またやりたい!!
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time. The instructor mentioned that the guidance would be in Japanese, but we were able to communicate well, so I was satisfied! Even as a beginner, the instructor helped me skillfully, and I was able to ride the waves in no time during the one-hour session. Falling off the board was not a problem at all. I definitely want to participate again!
初めてだったので不安もありました。インストラクターは指導単語は日本語でと言った感じでしたが、十分コミュニケーションが取れたので満足です!
初めてでもインストラクターが上手に手伝ってくれた為、波にも乗れてあっという間の1時間。ボードから落ちても問題ありません。是非また参加したい内容でした!
Our activity was rescheduled by the company for a 3 days later which we received a gift for our inconvenience. When we arrived we quickly realized that there were going to be many people going. I was expecting a much smaller group. Our family of 5 decided to ride on the upper deck and had the best time. Our main guide was Oliver who was very friendly and funny. He made our experience very enjoyable. The entire crew was friendly as well. The Captain proceeded to try to find dolphins. Much to our dismay he was unable to locate them but he drove all over trying his best to locate them. With the changes in the water with the hurricane 1300 miles away the dolphins had retreated to deeper waters. This didn't take away from our very fun experience. We were able to snorkel for a good amount of time where we did see a turtle. Other water activities were available as well. There were 2 photographers on board.. 1 which was in the water as well. We were fed lunch very efficiently and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. We were treated to 2 hula dancers which was a lot of fun. I would recommend this experience to anyone. A great
crew and a fun adventure!
I participated with three friends. Everyone was nervous since it was our first time, but the staff were very friendly and made us laugh, which helped ease our tension! All three of us agreed that it was so great that we wanted to do it again! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
友人3人で参加。みんなはじめてでドキドキだったけど、スタッフの方がたくさん声をかけてくれたり笑わせてくれて緊張もほぐれました!3人とも「もう一回やりたい!」と声が揃うほど最高でした!またハワイに行くときは参加したいと思います!
The tour started at 5 PM, and there were no Japanese participants, just four groups out on the water. It might have been fine if we had gone parasailing first, but since it was last, I got seasick from the waiting time. It was quite close. However, the activities were amazing. We even saw a double rainbow.
夕方17時からのツアー、日本人はおらず4組で海にでました。最初にパラセーリングに乗れると大丈夫だったかもしれませんが、最後だったため待ち時間で船酔い。かなりギリギリでした。が、アクティビティは最高。ダブルレインボーもみれました。
As the reviews said, there were no Japanese people at all, and it was a space where I could fully enjoy being overseas. There were people from various countries, but it felt very homey, and the guide was very kind.
The zipline experience lasted a solid three hours. I was extremely satisfied. Along the way, they quizzed us about Hawaiian history, we cracked and ate walnuts, and we ate bananas—there was never a dull moment!
口コミ通り日本人が全くおらず、海外を満喫できる空間でした。色んな国の人がいましたが、アットホームでガイドもとても優しかったです。
ジップラインはがっつり3時間。大満足できました。途中でハワイの歴史についてクイズを出してくれたり、やクルミを割って食べたり、バナナを食べたり、全く飽きのこない時間でした!
The driver's energy was high, and I felt a fun atmosphere right from the moment I arrived. I definitely want to use this service again on my return trip.
ドライバーのテンションが高くて、到着直後から楽しい気分になりました。
ぜひ、帰りも利用したいと思います。
Todo perfecto !! Bebidas , musica y diversion ....
Super great experience. Plenty of time to snorkel and a fun sail, as well. The crew makes this outstanding.
I loved this experience. Location was easier to find. Check in was simple and easy. I liked the safety video. The real star was the helicopter ride. I highly recommend seeing Oahu from a helicopter and with the doors off!! I was able to take so many amazing pictures. I have been to Oahu many times and seen some of the sights from ground level, but it is nothing like seeing it from the air! Breathtaking!! The ground crew was fabulous, so helpful! I sat in the back on the right side. That was the only thing that was a bummer. I didn't get to a good view of Waikiki and some of the other sights on the left. The pilot, Steve, did do some circles to allow the right side riders to see, but many times, it was enough time to see and take photos. It is windy in the back, so I had to purse my lips throughout most of the flight to keep my lips and cheeks from flapping everywhere! I did wear a sweatshirt because there was a slight chill from the higher altitude. Overall, I give this experience a 10 out of 10!! If I every get back to Hawaii, I will take this helicopter ride again!!
I thought it was over after watching the fireworks, but even after they ended, I was able to enjoy the peaceful sea out offshore. It was a lot of fun.
花火観賞で終わりとおもっていたが花火が終わった蹟も沖合いまで出て太平の海を満喫できました。楽しかったです。
I took the ride from the Waikiki Banyan as a solo traveler. On the way there, it was the last hotel for drop-off, so naturally, the pick-up started from here on the return trip. We stopped at about five hotels before heading to the airport. I thought we had plenty of time to arrive at the airport, but it turned out to be just when the departure rush was starting. Being early gave me peace of mind, and I was able to relax in the lounge, which was great. I rely on this service every time I travel alone.
一人旅で、ワイキキバニアンから乗車しました。
往きでは最終降車のホテルでしたので、やはり帰りはここからピックアップが始まりました。
5つくらいホテルを回って空港へ。空港に到着する時間は余裕だな・・・と思いましたが、ちょうど出国ラッシュの時間帯ですので、早い分には心の余裕も出来ますし、ラウンジでゆっくりできたので良かったです。
一人旅の時は毎回お世話になります。
Since I was traveling alone, I used this option instead of Uber, which was cheaper. I think I waited about 30 minutes from the time I arrived at the Roberts counter until the shuttle departed. We stopped at Ala Moana, Hilton, Sheraton, and Moana, and finally at my accommodation, the Banyan. Even though I wasn't in a hurry, it didn't seem much different from a chaotic shuttle. However, I often use it because I can ride comfortably when traveling alone.
一人旅でしたのでUberよりも安価のこちらを利用しました。ロバーツのカウンターに着いてからシャトル出発まで30分くらい待ったかな?
アラモアナ、ヒルトン、シェラトン、モアナ回って最後に私の宿泊先のバニアン。急いでないとはいえ、混沌シャトルとそんなに変わらないのかな?
でも一人旅の際、安心して乗れるのでよく利用しています。
For solo travelers, the shuttle service here takes longer than using a taxi, but it is more economical. For larger groups, I think a taxi would be more convenient.
一人旅だとこちらの送迎の方がタクシーを使うより時間はかかりますが割安です。
大人数だとタクシーの方が便利かと思います。
The activity itself was fine, but it seems that the management of the transportation is not going well. I recommend obtaining a mobile number that you can use to call on-site.
アクティビティ自体は問題ありませんが送迎のマネージメントがうまくいってないようです。 現地で電話できる携帯番号を取得しておくことをお勧めします。
I have done parasailing several times, but this was the highest in terms of altitude and airtime, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the sky! The top of Diamond Head was almost at eye level, and I was able to enjoy a view looking down on Waikiki, so I’m glad I chose the 150m parasailing. You do get dropped into the sea quite a bit, but that was fun too. The staff spoke a bit of Japanese and had a sense of humor, which made it enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos while we were flying. However, since the boat has no roof, sun protection is essential.
パラセイリングは何度かやったことがありますが、高さ・滞空時間ともに過去最高で、ゆっくり空中散歩を楽しめました!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの頂上がほぼ目線の先にあり、ワイキキの街もかなり眼下に見下ろせる景色を味わえたので150mのパラセイリングにしてよかったと思います。
海にはガッツリ落とされますが、それも楽しかったです。スタッフさんも片言の日本語をしゃべりユーモアがあって楽しませてくれました。飛んでる間の写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。
ただ、船には屋根がないので日焼け対策は必須ですね。
They arrived on time and were very punctual. I almost made a mistake with the terminal I needed to get off at, but they helped me correctly. However, their English was very fast.
時間どおりにきちんと来てくれました。降りるターミナルを間違えかけましたが、ちゃんと教えてくれました。ただ英語がとても速かったです。
After the lecture by the renowned instructor Mieko, I thought I had grasped the tips and headed out to the sea, underestimating how easy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be. Despite the conditions being rated a 9 out of 10 with calm waves, I struggled to stand and balance at first, falling into the water multiple times and realizing how challenging it was. However, the sea was beautiful, and I felt happy to experience my first SUP in such a scenic setting, especially since participants the day before had faced high waves in the river. ✨ Although I applied sunscreen diligently, the strong sun still led to some sunburn.
After paddling mostly while sitting, I finally reached an uninhabited island where Mieko kindly explained the island's scenery and wildlife, took great photos at nice spots, and we enjoyed some conversation.
On the way back, I felt a bit more accustomed to it, and with the flow of the waves, the board moved smoothly. Thanks to Mieko's precise advice, I was able to stand and balance for longer, and it felt like I quickly returned to the beach. I wished I could have stayed out longer! I'm glad that with Mieko's guidance, I was able to stand and maneuver the board!
The recommended pizza lunch after all that effort was exceptionally delicious!
名物インストラクターミエコさんの講義の後コツは掴んだつもりで海に出て、サップは簡単にできるものだと舐めて掛かっていたんですが、当日波が穏やかで10段階中9評価のいいコンディションとのことだったのに最初は全然立ってバランスが取れず何度も海に落ちてその難しさを実感しました。ただ、海は綺麗だし前日参加の人は波が高く川でやったとのことだったのでその景色とコンディションの中初サップができることに幸せを感じました✨ただ日射しはとても強かったのでしっかり日焼け止めを塗っていたけど日焼けは避けられませんでした
ほぼ座り漕ぎでようやく辿り着いた無人島ではミエコさんが丁寧に島の景観や生物について説明してくれたりいいスポットで写真を撮ってくれたり会話も楽しめました。
帰りは少し慣れたことと波の流れもあってボードはスムーズに進み、ミエコさんの的確なアドバイスで立ってバランスが取れる時間も長くなってあっと言う間にビーチに戻れた感覚でもっと長く乗っていたかったと思いました。
今回ミエコさんに指導して頂いたお陰で立って操作できるまでになれたのでよかったです!
頑張った後のオススメピザランチは格別に美味しかったです!
Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed Mieko's lesson. When you come back to Hawaii, please feel free to visit Kailua Beach. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.

We traveled to the parasailing location by a small boat. During the ride, the cheerful instructor kept the atmosphere lively and played music, which made it a lot of fun! After moving over the bright blue sea for a while, we took off, and the view of Oahu from the sky was truly breathtaking—a rare sight that can only be seen here. Each group had about 5 minutes, and when we participated, there were four other groups, so there was a bit of a wait. Since the boat kept moving while we waited, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some motion sickness medication. Lastly, it was great that we could purchase photos taken by the instructor with a camera on an SD card (it cost an additional $30, but I bought it). I would definitely like to request this again when I visit Hawaii!
パラセーリングをする場所まで小型の船で移動しました。その間も陽気なインストラクターの方が盛り上げてくれたり音楽を流してくれたりでとても楽しかったです!真っ青な海の上をしばらく移動した後に飛んだのですが、空から見るオアフ島は本当に絶景で、ここでしか見られない貴重な景色でした。大体1組5分程度で、私たちが参加した時には他に4組の方々がいらっしゃったので少し待ち時間はありました。待っている間もずっと船が動いているので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません。最後にインストラクターの方がカメラで撮ってくれた写真をSDで購入できたのも良かったです(別途30ドルかかりましたが購入しました)またハワイを訪れた際には是非ここでお願いしたいです。
An amazing time. The highlight of our trip! The staff was so friendly and made the trip super special for us!
The crew was great and the food was delicious. Advice for those who get sea sick: premediciate! The catamaran isn't huge, so riders definitely feel every wave. The evening we went the water was really rough and seasickness definitely puts a damper on an otherwise great experience.
The hotel shuttle arrived on time, which was great, but there was supposed to be a park souvenir included in the fee, and we didn't receive anything, which disappointed the kids. The BBQ food was also cold, and I thought it might have been better not to include it. The three days of free Wi-Fi was a nice touch.
ホテルの送迎は、時間通りに来てくれて良かったですが、料金に含まれるなかに
パーク記念品とありましたが何も頂けなく子供が残念がっていました。
BBQ の料理も冷めていて、付けない方が良かったかなと思いました。Wi-Fiが3日間無料付きは、良かったです。
