All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I would like to introduce a great value optional tour among the many available in Hawaii. This time, I focused on "Horseback Riding in Hawaii!" while comparing various optional tours. And what I found was this plan!

1. First, the iconic "This Tree, What Tree" at "Moanalua Gardens" (it’s said that the Moanalua Gardens tour will no longer be available after April 2016, so be sure to see it soon).
2. Next, enjoy Hawaii's specialty pineapple at the "Dole Plantation."
3. Then, at the "North Shore," encounter the elusive "sea turtles" (they were huge! I could almost ride on their backs).
4. For lunch, we had a recommendation from our guide for a hidden gem "delicious shrimp restaurant" (so good! Lightly seasoned for $11).
5. The much-anticipated "horseback riding"… Unlike other horseback riding optional tours that just walk along the coast for 40 minutes, this tour takes you through varied landscapes like hills, valleys, and bamboo groves, allowing you to enjoy the rhythm of the horse for a full 90 minutes in nature. Local staff support you at the front and back of the line, ensuring safety. The horses are wild yet generally calm, and there were many female groups participating (however, those over 100 kg are not allowed; we don’t want to hurt the horses).

**Note:** If you ride properly, there are no issues, but if you mess around or let go of the reins (like taking photos), you could fall off and get seriously injured (which is why you have to sign a waiver before riding).

So, how much is this packed tour? An incredible $165 per person! (Of course, it includes a Japanese-speaking guide, tips, and hotel pickup). You will really understand how great of a deal this plan is if you take the time to compare it with other tours!

Let’s not be lazy and look for "other tours" too! That way, you’ll realize that "what Yamachan said was true." If you find any other great deals, please let me know! Let’s share good information! Aloha~

◆数あるハワイの「オプショナルツアー」で、お得感のある（支払に対して満足感が高い）ツアーを紹介します。今回は「ハワイで乗馬！」を主目的に、様々なオプショナルツアーを比較しながら探しました。そして見つけたのがこのプラン！　①まずお決まりの「この木なんの木」の「モアナルアガーデン」（2016年4月以降はモアナルアガーデンツアーは無くなる、との事で早めに見納め）②続いて「ドールプランテーション」にてハワイ特産のパイナップルを堪能　③続いて「ノースショア」にて、遭遇が難しい「うみがめ」対面（デカッ！ いました いました 背中に乗れそう）④昼食はガイドさん推薦の「隠れ家的」な「絶品シュリンプ料理店（うまい！あっさり味付けで11ドル）」⑤お待ちかね「乗馬」…海岸沿いをただ、てくてく歩く「他の乗馬オプショナルツアー（40分）」と違い、このツアーは起伏に富んだ「山あいや谷？や竹やぶ等、いわゆる自然の中を悠々と馬の鼓動を聞きながら（それも90分ですぞ！）、乗馬を楽しむツアーです。サポートも現地スタッフが隊列の前後につき安心。馬も野性味があってスリリングですが総じておとなしく、女性グループも多かったです。（ただし100㎏以上の人はNG　馬さんかわいそうだもんね）【注意点】・キチンと乗れば全然問題なしでも、ふざけたり、手を離したり（カメラ撮影等）してると落馬して大怪我します（そのため、乗馬前に「免責証書を書かされる」）
ハイッ！　ここまで盛りだくさんツアーでお値段は？　な、な、なんと一人165ドル！（もちろん日本語ガイドさん付き、チップ込みでホテル送迎付き）このプランがいかにお得（安い）かは、いろいろ時間をかけて「他」のツアーを探して比較してみれば よ～くわかります！
横着せずに「他のツアー」も探しましょうね！そうすれば、「やまちゃんが言っていた事は本当だったんだ」と分かります。もし、他にお得なツアーがあれば、また教えてください！良い情報は共有していきましょう！　アロハ～

The story from our Japanese guide, Maki, was so enjoyable that we couldn't stop laughing during the half-day tour. The Polynesian show in the second half was far more impressive than we had anticipated, and it moved me to tears. I highly recommend this tour. I hope to see Maki again!

日本人の名物ガイド・マキさんのお話が楽しくて楽しくて…笑いっぱなしの半日観光でした。後半のポリネシアンショーは予想していたより遥かに見ごたえがあり、感動して涙してしまいました。お勧めのツアーです。またマキさんに会えたらいいね！

I only spoke Japanese, but I managed to get by. Depending on the number of participants, I was able to leave earlier than the time indicated in the schedule, which was a great help since I had optional reservations afterward. It would be appreciated if you could also note that the schedule mentioned had some slight changes.

日本語しかはなせませんでしたが、何とか大丈夫でした。
参加人数によるのかもしれませんが、スケジュールで見ていた時間より、早く帰る事が出来て助かりました助かりました。その後もオプションを予約していたので。 記載されていたスケジュールとかちょっと変更になっていましたので、それも書いて頂けると、ありがたいと思います。

As I approached my 30th birthday, I decided to go skydiving with friends, making it the main event of our trip to Hawaii. We were picked up near our hotel before 6 AM and, after arriving at the center with other participants, we received a brief explanation before heading straight to the small plane.

The Russian instructor who was in charge of me, along with all the staff, was very friendly, which helped ease my nerves. I was surprised at how excited I felt, rather than anxious. As we gradually ascended, I did a final check with the instructor, put on my goggles, and off we went into the Hawaiian sky! Instead of feeling like I was falling, it felt more like I was floating in the air, which was astonishing! However, the strong wind pressure made it quite a challenge to wave my hands, yet I found myself smiling naturally and surprisingly relaxed. Breathing was manageable as long as I followed the instructor's guidance and kept my mouth slightly open.

Before I knew it, the parachute opened, and once the speed decreased, I was able to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian scenery at a leisurely pace. It truly felt like I had become a bird. At one point, the instructor loosened my harness, which made me a bit anxious since I hadn't been informed about it beforehand, but the fun outweighed any worries.

I had always thought about trying skydiving at least once in my life after seeing it on TV, but I never expected it to be so easy and enjoyable! If you're hesitating, I highly recommend giving it a try. A senior who had already experienced it told me, "Skydiving won't change your life," but I believe my experience did change my life. I gained a strange confidence (laughs).

Since I was dropped off at the hotel before noon, I felt like I had plenty of time left in the afternoon. I plan to go skydiving again the next time I visit Hawaii! I truly recommend it!

３０歳を目前にして、友人とスカイダイビングをしようということで、今回ハワイでのメインイベントにしました。
早朝６時前にホテル近くまでピックアップして頂き、他の参加者とともにセンターへ到着後、簡単な説明を受け、早々に小型機へ。

私を担当して頂いたロシア人インストラクターの男性をはじめ、スタッフみなさん感じも良く、あまり緊張せず、想像よりもワクワクしている自分に驚きました。
徐々に高度も上がり、インストラクターと最終確認をして、ゴーグルをつけていざハワイの空へ！
落ちているという感覚より、空を浮いているという感じでびっくりでした！
ただ、ものすごい風圧を受けるので、手を振ったりするのも一苦労でしたが、自然と笑みになったり、意外に余裕がありました。
呼吸はインストラクターの指導通りに、うっすら口をあけてすれば問題ないと思います。

あっという間にパラシュートが開き、速度が落ちてからはハワイの景色もゆっくり楽しめて、本当に鳥になった気がしました。
途中インストラクターがベルトを緩めてくれますが、前もって聞いていなかったので少し不安になりましたが、とにかく楽しさの方が勝りました。

テレビなどでスカイダイビングの映像を観て、死ぬまでには一度経験してみたいなぁと思っていましたが、こんなにも簡単で、楽しいことだとは思っていませんでした！
悩んでいる方は是非経験してみてください。
「スカイダイビングやっても人生変わらなかったよ。」と既に経験済みの先輩に言われましたが、私は経験して人生が変わったと思います＾＾
変な自信もつきました(笑)

お昼前にはホテルに送ってもらったので、午後もたっぷり時間があると思います。
またハワイに行ったらスカイダイビングしようっ！と思います。
本当におすすめします！

Skydiving was my first experience, and it was amazing!! I was able to do it without any anxiety because I was with an instructor! I felt a little nervous while waiting for my turn to jump, but once I was out, that feeling disappeared! It was a valuable experience to see the mountains and the beautiful ocean of Hawaii from the sky!

スカイダイビングは初体験でしまが、すごくよかったです！！インストラクターの方と一緒なので不安もなく出来ました！飛び出す順番を待っている時は少しドキドキしましたが、出てしまうとそれも無くなりました！空から山やハワイの綺麗な海が見れて貴重な体験になりました！

Two young women in our tour group mistakenly miscalculated the meeting time, causing us to wait for about 30 minutes. The tour driver, in front of the other passengers, forcefully and aggressively said, "Apologize!!" which instantly darkened the mood. It really dampened the travel spirit we had.

Whether this was due to a lack of prior explanation or unclear communication with the two women (only verbal), I believe there is some fault on the part of the tour company regarding the itinerary. Shifting all the responsibility onto us does not absolve them of their own accountability. I hope there will be no further troubles in the future.

ツアー同行者で若い２名の女性が途中の集合時間を間違えて、30分程度待たしてしてしまった、ツアーのドラバーがほかの同乗者もいる面前で「誤ってください！！」と強く強圧的な言い方でその場が一瞬で気分的にも暗くなってしまい、せっかくの旅行気分に水を差されました。
事前の説明不足によるものか、２名とのやり取りが不明（口頭のみ）ですが、ツアーの工程については業者側にも落ち度があるのではないでしょうか、一方的な責任のん押しつけでは責任回避を免れません。今後のトラブルの無いことをお祈りしています。

You can enjoy shows and cultural experiences on the vast grounds. The fire dance at night is worth seeing. The guide is enthusiastic and leaves a good impression. The buffet food is just okay.

広大な敷地内でショーや文化体験ができる。
夜のファイヤーダンスは一見の価値あり。
ガイドが熱心で好印象。
ビュッフェのご飯はいまいち。

I participated in a tour that included meals. The food was a buffet with plenty of options like salads, fruits, and desserts—everything was delicious. However, the taste of the dishes was local cuisine? I didn't think it was that great (laughs). It's worth going, so I recommend it.

食事付きのツアーを参加しました。食事はバイキング、サラダ、果物、デザートなどたくさん〜美味しいです。ただし、料理の味は郷土料理？あまり美味しいと思わない(笑)。行く価値があるので、おすすめします。

I took a friend from Japan to Mr. Bill's
He had a great time and wants to come back next trip to learn how to fly!

I was told by an acquaintance that I should definitely go, but after reading the reviews, I found mixed opinions. I was unsure which group to choose, but I went with All Day Deluxe. A student studying at a nearby university guided us brightly and very kindly! It seems that most of the people working at the facility, including those who perform in the shows, are students, but everyone was really cheerful, energetic, and friendly! By choosing the afternoon plan, I was able to see various shows, and they were all incredibly fun! There are various opinions about the food, but I found it delicious! Those who signed up for Deluxe before the evening show were able to see behind the scenes, and I felt a level of professionalism that was hard to believe they were students!

The seating is arranged so that everyone can see from any spot. It seems that it rarely gets fully booked. Although I chose Deluxe, I made the reservation just two days in advance, so I ended up sitting towards the back. I recommend making an early reservation! Even for Standard, if you book early, you should be able to get a seat towards the front, which would make it easier to see!

Indeed, the price is somewhat high, but I heard that the money we pay goes towards scholarships for the working students, and since the afternoon shows are enjoyable, I recommend the afternoon plan for those who are going in the future!

知り合いから是非行ったほうがいいと言われていたのですが、口コミを読むと賛否両論。
どのグループにするか悩みましたがオールデイデラックスに。近くの大学で勉強してる子が明るくそしてとても親切にガイドをしてくれました！ショーに出る子達も含めて施設で働いてる人のほとんどが学生さんらしいのですが、皆さん本当に明るくて元気で親切でした!昼からのプランにすると色々なショーも見れるのですが、どれも凄くたのしかったです!ご飯も色々書かれていますが私には美味しく感じました！夜のショーの前にデラックスで申し込んだ人は舞台裏を見せて貰えるのですが、学生さんとは思えないくらいプロ意識を感じました！
席は何処からでも見えるようになってます。満席になることはあまりないそうです。デラックスにしたものの予約したのが2日前でしたのでデラックスの中でも後ろのほうでした。早めの予約をオススメします!スタンダードでも早めに予約すれば、その中でも前の方だと思うので見やすいと思いますよ！
確かに値段はそこそこしますが、私達が支払うお金は働いてる学生さんたちの奨学金として使われるそうですし、昼のショーも楽しいのでこれから行く方には昼からのをオススメします!

The departure was in the evening, but there were more things to see at the destination than I expected. I wish I could have left earlier. This was my first time booking a tour, and I would like to do it again next time. The dance show was fun, and the food was good too. I feel reluctant to leave. However, I look forward to participating again next time!

出発は夕方からだったのですが、現地での見物できるものが思ったよりも多く
もっと早めの時間帯から出発したかったです。
今回初めてのツアーの申し込みだったので、次回もリピしたいです
ダンスショーも、楽しく食事もよかったです
帰るのが名残惜しいですね。でも次回にまた楽しみに参加したいです

I received advice from my hula dance teacher that "if you go to Hawaii, you should definitely see this show," so I signed up for a dinner and show tour.

The journey there was quite long, but our guide, Mamoru, provided us with insights about Hawaii, which was very educational.

The show was as impressive as I had expected, and I was overwhelmed by how amazing the male dancers were. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in Hawaiian and Polynesian culture.

フラダンスの先生から「ハワイに行ったら、ここのショーは見ておいたほうが良い」とアドバイスせれていたので、夕食とショーのツアーを申し込みました。
行きはなかなか遠い道のりでしたが、ガイドのマモル君がハワイのガイドもしてくれて、とても勉強になりました。

ショーは期待通りの大迫力で、男性の踊りがこんなにもすごいものなのかと圧倒されました。ハワイやポリネシアの文化に興味をお持ちの方にはオススメです。

It was truly vast, and I was able to see various dance shows. It was far, but I'm glad I went. Last time I came, I only focused on shopping, and when I returned, I had nothing left but things. However, participating in the optional activities here allowed me to create good memories. I had a great time!

本当に広大で、かついろいろなダンスショーが見れて、遠かったけど行ってよかったです。前回来たときは買物ばかりで、帰ってから物以外何も残らなかったけど、こちらのオプショナルに参加して良い思い出が出来ました。楽しかったです！

The concept of this park is good but we were disappointed overall because one cannot complete this park truly in 1 day as they open from noon till 5 PM only. You need more than 1 day and it's not close to Waikiki. The overall park is good in terms of exhibit and shows and has lot to take in, it's a good way to preserve and exhibit various Polynesian culture but they should consider opening longer hours. Also do not get caught up into buying morning lunch to get 30 mins early entry if you arrive around 11:30 as you will end up being last entering the actual park as you will be waiting in line to get seated for buffet style lunch. The lunch and dinner included has plenty of options if you are not vegetarian or vegan, otherwise totally can be skipped.

There are a lot of good-looking guys, even from a man's perspective. The local divers jump multiple times a day, so they handle the tasks easily (laughs). After being called, I watched a DVD for about 30 minutes, then met up with the tandem instructor, and in just about 10 minutes, we were ready to go (laughs). It was super quick! It felt like we were suddenly at 10,000 feet, which is about 4,000 meters in Japan, and we flew up in no time (laughs). But the view was amazing—the weather was great too! The tandem instructor was incredibly skilled, and the cameraman did some wild and dangerous things with ease (laughs). I definitely want to jump again! It's different from roller coasters or bungee jumping; since it's so high that you can't see the ground, you're just stepping out of the Cessna.

男から見てもイケメンだらけ
現地のダイバーは１日何回も飛ぶ為、簡単に作業していく(笑)
呼ばれてから30分ぐらいDVDみたら、タンデムの先生と合流したら、ものの10分ぐらいでレッツゴー(笑)
めっちゃ早い！そりゃーなるよーになれーみたいや(笑)いっきに10000フィート、日本で言う4000mかな？あっという間に飛んでいく(笑)
でも眺めは最高ー天気もよかってー！
タンデムの先生もうますぎやし、カメラマンとかワイルドすぎぐらい危険な事を余裕でやるし(笑)
また飛びたいって思いますよ！
ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプとは違うんで、高すぎて下見えない分、セスナから出ていくってだけですよ

It was a show that you could enjoy even if you don't understand English. The excitement was incredible, and I felt my heart racing while watching. The food was also quite delicious.

英語がわからなくても楽しめるshowでした。迫力がハンパなく見てドキドキしました。料理も普通に美味しかったです。

The driver was Japanese and the explanations were easy to understand in Japanese. Skydiving itself was reasonably priced, but you need to tip the driver $4, the instructor $20, and the photographer (if you sign up) $20, so I recommend bringing extra cash. Skydiving was incredibly fun, and I would like to use this service again next time.

ドライバーは日本人で説明も日本語で分かりやすかったです。
スカイダイビング自体はお手頃でしたがドライバー＄4、インストラクター＄20、カメラマン(申込んだ場合)＄20とチップが必要なので現金も余分に持参することをおすすめします。スカイダイビングは最高に楽しかったので次回も利用したいです。

With all the choices to spend your money in Oahu, you may want to conserve your spending. However, I had one do-over, this would be it.

The PCC is organized by hundreds and they provide entertainment and food to thousands daily. My advise is to spurge to avoid the wait-times but also because the service and selection is significant. The dinner and night show was a great performance and I think it is worth the extra dollars for better food and better seats.

Had I known, I would have avoided the negative side of economy seats and food, and the terrible customer service that didn't allow a willing customer to pay for an upgrade.

For someone like me who was imagining hula dancing, the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center was a surprise. The powerful dances and performances were truly wonderful. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to visit again.

フラダンスを想像していた私にとってこのポリネシア文化センターのショーは驚きでした。迫力のある踊りやお芝居…本当に素晴らしかった。またハワイに行くことがあれば是非また行きたいと思っています。

OK, so the idea of going to 'find' sharks as opposed to avoiding them at all costs can take a little getting used to. However once I'd gotten over that, I have to say this is one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had (and enjoyed) on the island.
There's two basic times that you can go out, Super early or Early, Yes that's right, Don't plan on a late night in the bar the night before trying to drum up Dutch courage because this boat leaves early and you want to get your sleep in.

After a leisurely 20-25 mins boat ride out (i think they said about 2 miles) to the dive site you arrive in an open water area, engines are cut and you pull up next to the cage. A quick chat from the crew, and two groups are selected A & B, This ensures you have maximum space in the cage and is a really cool idea.

We climbed in first, GoPro's on and ready to start shooting...

The cage is actually rather large and you definitely want to be up close to the bars hold on, and go down to get your first glimpse... I'm not going to say much more on what you'll see but I will say, This is a guaranteed sharks (plural, many lol) shark tank dive. They big, upclose and personal and you are totally safe in your secure housing...

You get ample time to take selfies, group shots, dive down again, hold the bottom of the cage etc as these amazing creatures swim all around you.

I'd forgot my wrist strap for my cam, No problem, The crew guy noticed as I was getting ready ad gave me a cool wrist-strap for it (thick rubber band!) Awesome Service.

Highly Recommended. 5*

My husband, parents and I really enjoyed the sunset dinner ride. The only thing I wish we could have done was gallop or even cantor a bit. If you are a new rider or inexperienced, this is perfect for you. The views were breathtaking and the guide was great. The food was decent, however when we got done we realized we didn't get the corn on the cob or the pie that was advertised in the add. What we did get was steak, shrimp, rice, macaroni salad, fresh fruit and we made smores over the fire. The best was the fruit and the smores. Overall it was really fun and a great experience.

It had been 24 years since my honeymoon when I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center again, and both the buildings and the show content had changed remarkably. My wife and I were very satisfied with our experience. We want to go again.

新婚旅行で来て以来、２４年ぶりのポリネシア・カルチャー・センターでしたが、建物もショーの内容も大変素晴らしく変化しており、嫁ともども満足で参加しました。又行きたいです。

I was looking for an optional tour that would give me a taste of Hawaii, and I came across this one. A very kind guide came to pick us up, which made me feel at ease. I was impressed by the size of the facility and the number of stalls. I got to enjoy the pineapple ice cream at the Dole Plantation and bought a mumu as a souvenir, which made me very happy. The buffet-style meal was filled with many local dishes, and it was delicious—I even went back for seconds. The show was packed with a lot of spectators, which was overwhelming. I think it's a very popular tour. The traditional Polynesian elements were expressed in a story that was easy to understand, and I was moved by the content. The fire performances were very exciting and fun. I think I would have missed out on this experience if I hadn't participated in this tour, so I'm really glad I did. I believe everyone will enjoy it, so I highly recommend it to anyone planning to go to Hawaii!

何かハワイらしいものを感じられるオプショナルツアーを探していたところ、このオプショナルツアーにたどり着きました。とても親切なガイドさんが送迎にきてくださり、安心していけました。施設の広さや露店の多さに感動しました。ドールプランテーションのパインアイスを食べることができ、お土産のムームーも買えて大満足です。ビュッフェスタイルのお料理はたくさんの地元料理にあふれ、大変おいしくおかわりもしました。ショーでは、たくさんの観客にあふれ圧倒されました。大変人気なツアーなのだと思います。ポリネシアンの伝統的なものがストーリーになってわかりやすく表現されており、内容も感動しました。火を使ったパフォーマンスがとてもエクサイティングで楽しかったです。このツアーがなければこういうのがあるとは知らずに行けなかったので参加できてすごくよかったと思います。絶対楽しめると思いますので、これからハワイに行かれる方には是非おすすめしたいです。

I was nervous since it was my first time, but the staff were all so interesting and I had a great time! The view from above was also breathtaking and unforgettable. I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii!

初めてでドキドキでしたが、面白いスタッフばかりでとても楽しめました！
上空から見る景色も感動的で忘れられないです。
またハワイに来たら絶対したいです！

The tour itself was really fun. The North Shore is famous for its high waves and surfing, so the ride to the destination was quite bumpy. Even I, who usually doesn't get seasick, felt a bit unwell. There were about 4 to 5 other people who also looked like they were feeling sick, and some were even vomiting. If you're joining the tour, don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.

ツアー自体はすごく楽しかったです。ノースショアはサーフィンで有名な高波のビーチなので、目的地まで向かう間はかなり揺れます。普段、船酔いしない私でも気分が悪くなりました。
自分以外にも４～５人気分の悪そうな方がいましたし、吐いている方もおられました。ツアーに参加される方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

Our guide, Maki, was very kind and attentive. The roads in Hawaii are not very good, and combined with the uncomfortable bus ride, I experienced a bit of motion sickness. It would have been better if the bus windows were a little cleaner. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, there were many things to see and do, and we spent a very rich time there. It started to rain during our visit, but we were helped by receiving a free vinyl poncho. The behind-the-scenes tour included in the deluxe course is a must-see. The roast beef for dinner was delicious. It would have been even better if alcohol had been included.

ガイドのマキさん、とても親切で気の利く方でした。ハワイの道があまり良くないのと、バスの乗り心地が悪いのが相まって、少々車酔いしました。バスの窓がもう少し掃除して綺麗だと良かったです。ポリネシア文化センターでは見たりやったりが沢山で、かなり濃い時間を過ごしました。途中、雨が降ってきましたが、ビニールのポンチョを無料で頂けたので助かりました。デラックスコースに付いている、舞台裏の見学は必見です。夕食のローストビーフは美味でした。これでアルコールがOKならもっと良かったのですが。

It was amazing. I'm really glad I got to have this experience. The guide was incredibly entertaining. My wife was with me and she was very happy as well. This was my first time having such an experience; I initially hesitated, but I'm glad I did it. I want to recommend this to others and give more people the chance to have such an experience. Thank you very much.

最高でした。こんな体験させて頂いて本当良かった。案内してくれたおっちゃんが最高面白くしてくれた。
奥さんも一緒だったがすごく喜んでくれた。こんな体験初めて私は初め拒んでいたけどやって良かった。他の人にも勧めたいもっと他の人にもこんな体験させてあげたい。
ありがとうございました。

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Such a unique experience and the views were out of this world!!! Highly highly reccommend!!!

I have wanted to go skydiving for a long time. The scenery in Hawaii is so beautiful, and diving into it was incredibly exciting!! The staff were all fun and reliable. I want to do it again! Next time, I want to have photos taken while diving.

前々からスカイダイビングをしたいと思っていました。ハワイの景色はとてもキレイで、その中に飛び込んでダイブするのはとてもエキサイティングでした！！
スタッフの方も、面白くて頼もしい方たちばかりです。また飛びたい！
今度はダイブしてる写真も撮ってもらいたいです。

I mentioned this before on the phone. This was fun, but was only able to do one activity. Unfortunately the ad misleads you into thinking you can do whatever activities, whenever. You are allowed to swim, snorkel, bike ride or hike in the morning. Then you can either surf(which you cant cause it will cost you more when you never did it, apparently you have to take a lesson before using their boards), kayak, or stand up paddleboard in the afternoon. It just was a disappointment to have an expectaion of what to get for my day, then not do it. In other words, two spereate locations for the morning and afternoon activities, so majority of your time is traveling. Which is fine, but also would of have a different opinion. Knowing what i know now, i probably would never choosen this activity.
I missed the bus to go to the afternoon location, needless to say i was given the wrong time by tourist, but honsestly by the time i got there, i was out of time. One thing that is odd is the memory game, being dropped off somwhere and being picked up elsewhere. However, the people that works at the snorkel rental place, especially that young kid, clueless to his surroundings. Knew who i was & i who else i was there with in regards of the other party on the tour bus & couldnt inform me of the other party making it back. So knowing the time i had to be picked up, this kid not being observant and missing the bus is all my fault, right? So thanks for that! I had to wait for the city bus to pick me up to find out where the tour bus was to get back on it.
All in all, i only did one activity and did a lot of sitting & waiting around. Snorkeling was fun, but was my excitement was short lived with the turmoil. I had fun snorkeling, and thats about it. Oh yeah, dont worry, ill take care of that bus fare!
