All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I upgraded to the ambassador package and this allowed More time to check out the exciting performances. Chesser made our tour fun and interesting. Had a great overall experience visiting for the first time. Really enjoyed the HA theatrical performance with the amazing fire dancers.

At Kualoa, you can also do ziplining, and I was torn between options, but I decided to book this one because it has a longer distance.

There were a total of seven zip lines, and there were various activities in between, which made it a lot of fun.

None of the instructors spoke Japanese, but I still had a great time.

If you have the financial means, I think bringing a GoPro or something similar would allow you to capture plenty of memorable photos.

クアロアでもジップラインができるので、悩みましたが、こちらの方が距離が長いので、こっちを予約しました。


合計７本のジップラインでしたが、途中にいろいろなアクティビティも挟んであり、とても楽しかったです。


インストラクターは誰も日本語を話せなかったのですが、十分楽しめました。

金銭的に余裕のある方は、GO PROなど持っていかれた方が思い出の写真をいっぱい残せるかと思います。

We went on our honeymoon. Since we rented a car, it took us about an hour to get from Waikiki. Our dinner show started at 6 PM, so we checked out some sightseeing points along the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) in advance (Kualoa Ranch, Kailua, local Tamura's Store). We were able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii while driving through the countryside and along the coast.

Dinner was served from 6 PM to 7 PM in a dedicated buffet hall. The hall had a 360-degree depiction of Polynesian history, creating a great atmosphere. The main dish, crab, could not be refilled as it was exchanged for tickets, but it was satisfying enough. The large roast pork, sliced thickly by the chef, was so tender and juicy that it was easy to bite into, and I went back for seconds multiple times. Also, drinks were free, and the pineapple juice was delicious.

As for the show, it was definitely worth the hour drive from Waikiki. The stage design was impressive, and the show was powerful. I will go again when our family grows. Mahalo.

ハネムーンで行きました。レンタカーを借りていたのでワイキキから１時間で着きました。18時からのディナーショーでしたので日中はあらかじめPCC(ポリネシアンカルチャーセンター)までの道中によるべきポイントをチェックして観光しました。(クアロアランチ、カイルア、ローカルなタムラズストア)田舎の街並みや海沿いをひたすら走るのでハワイの自然を感じながらむかうことができました。
ディナーは18時から19時まで、専用のビッフェホールで食べました。(ホール内にはポリネシアンの歴史が360度描かれていて雰囲気があります)
メインのカニはチケットと引き換えなのでおかわりできませんが十分な食べ応えでした。
でかいローストポークをシェフが厚切りにスライスするプライムリブは軽く歯がはいるほど柔らかくてジューシーです、何度もおかわりしました。あと、飲み物も無料です。パイナップルジュース美味しかったです。
肝心のショーですが、
ワイキキから１時間かけて見に行った甲斐がありました。ステージの作り込みもすばらしい迫力のショーでした。
家族が増えたらまた行きます。マハロ

I went with my one-year-old son and my husband!
On the way, there happened to be an accident, and what was supposed to be a one-and-a-half-hour bus ride took two and a half hours...
Some people took a break, but the guide's stories were so interesting that the two hours turned into a fun journey.

Once we arrived, we immediately had lunch!
The crab was delicious, and I recommend the calamari rings.

Everyone was kind and spoke to the children, and after lunch, we enjoyed desserts from the shops and stalls.
I recommend the pineapple soft serve!

And finally, it was showtime.
We were in the fourth row in the center!
This show can be enjoyed from both the center and the sides.
There were lots of music and dances switching at a great pace, and my son enjoyed it without fussing!

Even if he cried, I don't think it would stand out.

We went to see other shows, but I overwhelmingly recommend this one.
The number of performers and the content of the show are just too amazing, so I want to go on the afternoon tour next time!

一歳の息子と夫と3人で行きました！
行きのバスはたまたま事故があり、1時間半の予定が2時間半かかりました…
お休みされる方もいらっしゃいましたが
ガイドさんの話しがとにかく面白く
2時間も楽しい移動になりました(^^)

そして現地に着いたら
すぐご飯を食べました！
カニ　美味しいです、私はイカリングがおすすめです。

皆さん子どもに優しく声をかけてくれたり
ご飯の後はお店や屋台のデザートを食べました。
パイナップルのソフトクリームおすすめです！

そしていよいよショータイム　
私たちは真ん中の4列目でした！
このショーは真ん中でも横からでも楽しめます。
たくさんのミュージックや踊りがいいテンポで切り替わり　息子はぐずることもなく　楽しんでました！

もし泣いたとしても目立つことはないと思いますよ^_^

他のショーを見に行きましたが
圧倒的にこちらをお勧めします。
人数やショーの内容が最高すぎるので
次は昼からのツアーに行きたいです！

Polynesian center was amazing. Had a private group tour which took us through the best activities of a few islands. Was not able to see all of the islands like the itinerary stated there just want time. Luau and fire show was included. Also with this package the Polynesian center will give you an additional 3 day pass to
Come back and see anything you missed. Highly recommend!

I was picked up a little after 4 PM. I felt reassured because there was a Japanese person on the bus. The location is about 1 to 1.5 hours away from Waikiki, and it can take up to 2 hours depending on the situation, but since the roads were clear, we arrived in just a little over an hour both ways. On the way there, a Japanese person who seemed to be a guide shared interesting tidbits about Hawaii. There were also filming spots for movies along the way, and I got to hear about those as well. It was somewhat interesting, but I was sleepy and wanted to take a nap, so it was a shame I couldn't.

Upon arrival, I received a ticket for the show along with a meal voucher, and then I had free time until the show started. I decided to eat first and then spent the remaining time browsing souvenir shops. I had plenty of time to enjoy my meal leisurely before the show.

The buffet wasn't particularly amazing, but considering it's a tourist spot, it was about what I expected. There seemed to be courses with and without crab. I wasn't sure about the standard option when I made the reservation, but it did include crab.

The show lasted a little over an hour, and it was quite impressive. Regardless of the story, the power of the dance was breathtaking. They were dancing the whole time. The music and dance made me feel like I was always experiencing Hawaii, which was fun. The fire dance, in particular, was incredible. It was the first time I saw such a large group perform, and I was moved.

My seat was in the front, about the 10th row. It was a designated seat chosen for us, so there was no need to rush to grab a seat. I thought the 10th row wasn't that close, but it turned out to be just fine. It wasn't too far away, and I had no issues seeing everything. It’s definitely better to see it from the front rather than the back, as you get a better view and more impact.

Honestly, I thought that spending this much money to go so far might not be worth it, especially since there are dinner shows in Waikiki that might be better. However, I was glad I went. The scale of the show is different. Personally, I love shows, so I was really satisfied that I went.

Unfortunately, it was the rainy season during my trip, but I think this is enjoyable even in the rain. I believe everyone should go at least once.

私は16時すぎのピックアップでした。日本人の方がバスに乗っていてくれたので安心でした。場所はワイキキから1時間〜1時間半離れている場所で、場合によっては2時間かかることもあるとのことでしたが、道がすいていたので行き帰りどちらも1時間ちょっとで到着しました。行きはガイドさん(のようなアルバイトの日本人の方)がずっとハワイの豆知識のような話をしてくれました。道中、映画の撮影スポットもありそういった話も聞けました。そこそこ面白いですが、眠くて寝ようと思っていたためそれができなかったのは残念でした。
到着するとショーのチケットと食事券が一緒になったものをもらってあとはショーの時間まで自由行動です。私は先にごはんにして余った時間でおみやげ屋さんを見て回りました。時間はゆっくりごはんを食べてもショーまでの時間があるくらい十分にもらえました。
ビュッフェは特別すごく美味しいという訳ではないですが、観光地のビュッフェだしこんなもんかなという感じです。問題はないです。カニは付いてるコースと付いてないコースがあるようです。スタンダード？にはついてないのかな？よくわからず予約したのですが、付いていました。
ショーは1時間ちょっとあったかな？だいぶ見応えありました。ストーリーはともかく、ダンスの迫力は圧巻です。とにかくずっと踊ってます。常にハワイを感じられる音楽やダンスが見れて、楽しかったです。特に火を使ったダンスはすごかったです。あんな大人数でやっているのは初めてみたので感動しました。
席は正面、前から10列目の席でした。勝手に選ばれているタイプの指定席です。早く行って席取りする必要はありません。10列目ってあんまり前じゃないな、、とか思ったけど、そんなことなかったです。遠すぎず、全然問題ありませんでした。後方で見るより、絶対前方で見たほうがよく見えるし迫力もあっておすすめです。
正直こんなにお金だして遠くまで行って見なくても、ワイキキならディナーショーもあるしそれの方がいいんじゃないかなって思っていました。
でも行って正解でした。規模が違います。個人的にショーが好きなので本当行ってよかったなと大満足でした。
残念ながら雨季での旅行だったのですが、これなら雨でも楽しめるのでいいと思います。
1度はぜひ行くべきだと思います。

Waking up at 3:00 AM and departing after 4:00 AM was tough, but overall it was a satisfying tour. The breakfast we had in the local camper was cheap and delicious. The guide and the local instructor were kind, and we were able to enjoy a pleasant time throughout.

朝3:00起床、4:00過ぎ出発は大変でしたが、総合的に満足できるツアーでした。
現地のキャンピングカーで食べた朝食が安くて美味しかったです。ガイドさんと現地のインストラクターが優しくて終始気持ち良い時間を過ごすことができました。

First of all, thank you for being able to make a reservation on-site two days ago.
On the way there, we had a student guide, which made the ride enjoyable. It was surprising to encounter a Hawaiian monk seal along the way!
I had hoped for a seat with a good view, and the buffet for the meal was also in a nice spot, so it was delicious. The highlight was the kalua pig! I highly recommend it.
Additionally, since we had a little extra time, we were able to buy poi balls and Hawaiian jewelry.
And finally, the long-awaited show. I had seen their performance at an event in Odaiba during Golden Week, but experiencing the powerful performances of so many dancers in person was overwhelming. It was so moving that everyone ended up giving a standing ovation at the end!
You can truly experience Polynesian culture, so please make sure to go!

まずは2日前に現地で予約出来た事、ありがとうございました。
行きは学生さんのガイドがあったので、車中楽しく過ごせました。途中ハワイアンモンクシールに出会えたのは驚きでした！
席はよく見える所を希望してましたが、食事のビュッフェも良い所だったので、美味しかったです。1番はカルアピッグ！おすすめです。
また、時間に少し余裕があったので、ポイボールやハワイアンジュエリーも買えました。
そして念願のショー。よくGWにお台場であるイベントで彼らのステージは観た事がありましたが、やっぱり現地でたくさんのダンサー達の迫力ある演技には圧倒。感動、感動で最後はみんなスタンディングオベーションでした！
ポリネシアンカルチャーを実感出来ますので、ぜひぜひ行ってみてください。

It felt like a tour with sightseeing in Haleiwa.
I had an early lunch of garlic shrimp in Haleiwa.
I didn't quite understand the guide's explanations at that time.
Even when I asked questions or made requests, the guide would say, "I told you that earlier!"
All the tour participants felt the same way.
The guide's inner voice came out loud.
The horseback riding by the beach was very enjoyable.

ハレイワ観光付きという感じでした。
ハレイワで早めの昼食ガ－リックシュリンプ。この時のガイドの説明よく分からない。
質問やお願いをするも、「だからさっき言ったでしょ‼」
ツア－参加者みな同じ気持ちになってしまいます。
心の声が口から出るガイドでした。
海辺乗馬はとても楽しめました。

For our honeymoon and first trip to Hawaii, my husband and I wanted to try skydiving! I know many people might feel anxious about it, so I'll share the details.

From late February to early March, the weather was bad from the first day of our trip, with strong winds and intermittent rain. We had booked an afternoon session, but on the day of, we received a call in our hotel room from a Japanese person with disappointing news: the session was canceled due to bad weather. They informed us that we would receive a full refund and encouraged us to rebook via email if we had other dates available, so I quickly made a reservation for two days later. I hesitated about the timing since it was early, but I wanted to see the sunrise, so I changed to the first morning session.

On the day, we were picked up at 4:40 AM and headed to a location about a 10-minute walk away, where two small buses were waiting. The driver who greeted us was a foreign woman. I was a bit nervous about meeting the famous "local uncle" mentioned in reviews, but then I was taken to another bus where the driver was a male foreigner. After giving my name, I was handed a waiver and received a brief explanation in English before entering.

The waiver was written in somewhat unclear Japanese. The inside of the vehicle had a sweet smell that made me feel nauseous, so I quickly took motion sickness medication. We had some time before others arrived, so I filled out the waiver, but it was confusing and took a while, plus it contained many scary warnings. I didn't read everything. We picked up a few more participants, and while waiting, we watched a video and received explanations similar to the waiver content. It felt like we were heading to a scary place. We arrived at our destination in about an hour at a surprising clear sky!

Once there, we received instructions from a middle-aged man who spoke Japanese. He said that copies of our passport and voucher were fine. He checked for any missing information and was very helpful, even sharing jokes. There was a need for coins for the lockers, and there was a change machine, so I made sure to have some quarters or a dollar bill for tips and photo payments, which I put on my card. We waited until our names were called, and while taking photos and exchanging money, we were quickly called up.

I met the instructor and the camerawoman, who was a veteran. They didn't speak Japanese. After receiving a very simple explanation again, we put on our gear and filmed an interview video with my husband, then waited for the Cessna!

Once we boarded, we headed straight up into the sky. I had heard it would be cold, but I wanted to embrace the Hawaiian vibe, so I wore a short-sleeved shirt, and it turned out to be fine! However, while waiting, a long-sleeved shirt would have been necessary. It took about 10 minutes to reach altitude, and I was so mesmerized by the scenery that I didn't feel scared.

We all made our final preparations, and one by one, the people sitting in the front started to jump. I was one of the last, so I watched them go. When it was my turn, I jumped with two others. It was so intense that I couldn't focus on the scenery. The camerawoman had us do various poses, and I tried my best to mimic them. Before I knew it, the free fall was over, and once the parachute opened, I could enjoy the view. It was a surreal feeling, and I even got to steer the parachute.

The parachute made me feel quite nauseous, so motion sickness medication is definitely necessary. Once we landed, we filmed another interview video, received an explanation about tips, and checked the videos and photos taken. They were expensive, but we decided to purchase both. We could receive them via USB or AirDrop. The sunrise was beautiful, and the photos and videos made me feel the earth's roundness, which was moving, despite how I looked in them.

Overall, it cost about 80,000 yen, but we were satisfied. Shortly after, we were called to board the bus back to th

新婚旅行、そして初めてのハワイ旅行で夫婦揃ってやりたかったことがスカイダイビング！
不安な方が多いと思うので詳しく書きます。
2月後半から3月頭の期間で旅行初日から天候が悪く、風も強く、雨が降ったり止んだりの繰り返しでした。
午後からの部を予約していましたが、当日ホテルの部屋に電話がかかってきて日本人の方から残念なお知らせです。天候が悪いため中止となりました。と電話がありました。返金は全額します、まだ日にちがあったらメールで再予約してください、とのことでしたので
すぐに２日後に予約しました。時間も、早いので悩んだのですが朝日が見たくて朝一の方に変更しました。
そして、当日朝の4:40ピックアップで徒歩10分くらいのところへ向かうと小型バスが2台。
声をかけたドライバーさんは外国人女性でした。
口コミを見ていて名物おじさんと言う方にドキドキしていたのでホッとしていたらもう一つのバスに連れて行かれました。ドライバーさんは男性外国人でした。
名前を伝えると誓約書を渡され、適当に英語で説明され、中へ入ります。
誓約書は少しわかりにくい日本語です。
車の中は絶対酔う！って感じの甘い匂いでゾッとしました。酔い止めすぐ飲みました。他の方が来るまで時間があったので止まってる間に記入しましたがわかりにくいので時間かかりますし、怖いことがたくさん書いてます。全部読んでません。何箇所か参加者を拾っていき、車内では誓約書の内容のようなビデオと説明を見ます。今から怖いとこへ向かうようなビデオです。。猛スピードで1時間ほどでつきます。びっくりするほどの快晴！着いたら日本人なのかな？日本語話せる男性から説明を受けます。
中年の男性でした。パスポート、バウチャーはコピーでokです。写真の説明、記入漏れのチェック、わからなければ何でも教えてくださいます。ジョークも交えて楽しい方でした。ロッカーで小銭が必要で両替機もありますので25セント4枚か1ドル札、チップ代、写真支払いはカードにしたのでカード、あと少し多めに待ち時間が多いことを考え、現金があれば大丈夫でした。名前が呼ばれるまで待ちます。写真を撮ったり両替していたらすぐに呼ばれました。
インストラクター、カメラマンと対面です。ベテランな感じのおじさん、カメラマンは女性でした。日本語通じません。
簡単すぎる説明を改めて受け、装備を付けて旦那と一緒にインタビュー動画を撮り、あとはセスナ待ち！
着いたら乗り込みます。すぐに上空へ向かいます。寒いと聞いてましたがハワイらしさを少しでも出したく半袖で行きましたが寒さなんかないです！ただ、待ってる間は長袖必要です。
10分程で着きます。景色に夢中で恐怖感はありませんでした。
みんなで最終準備をして、一番前に座ってる人からポンポン落ちていきます。私は最後の方でしたので見送ってました。そして自分の番が来て、３人で落ちます。
苦しすぎて景色どころではありませんでした。
カメラマンがいろんなポーズをしてくるので頑張って真似して撮ってもらいます。あっという間にフリーフォールが終わり、パラシュートを開くと景色が楽しめます。不思議な感覚でした。操縦もさせてもらいました。
パラシュートがかなり酔うので絶対酔い止めいります。
地上に着いたらインタビュー動画を撮り、チップの説明を受け、撮ってもらった動画、写真をチェックして、欲しい方を購入します。高いですが私たちは両方にしました。USBかAirDropどちらかでもらえます。朝日が綺麗で、地球が丸いって感じられる写真、動画で感動しました。顔の写りは置いといて。。
トータル8万くらいはかかりましたが満足です。
そして少しすると名前が呼ばれてバスへ乗り込み、ホテルへは9:30頃には着いていましたのでよかったです。
帰りに行きと同じドライバーさんへチップを渡します。若い女の子2人組がチップを渡さず帰っていくと
呆れた顔でその子達を見つめていましたので、渡した方がいいかと思います。
普段は高所恐怖症ですがこれは別物でした。
命がけですが、私達夫婦はやってよかった！って感じでした。見たことのない、経験したことのないものです。運が良かったのか優しい日本語話せる男性でしたし、気にかけて声もたくさんかけてくださり、最初から色んな話をしてくださり、また来てね、と言うような感じでしたのでトータルで満足です。
是非、悩まれてる方はやってみてください！

I participated with friends for the first time in Hawaii. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but the shuttle was handled by a Japanese person, so I was able to board the bus smoothly. During the journey, they provided continuous explanations about the famous sites, and I was particularly excited about the filming locations of the movies Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean! They also carefully explained the schedule for our time there, which was reassuring.

For dinner, we enjoyed a large venue with beautiful murals, featuring Hawaiian flower cuisine! The purple taro had a wonderful chewy texture that was irresistible. I had crab legs with melted butter and lemon. They provided wet wipes, which was thoughtful. The steak had a unique sauce that you can't find in Japan. Since it was a buffet, I could eat as much of my favorite dishes as I wanted, which was great. Of course, there were several types of drinks available! The waitresses were also very good at speaking Japanese.

Finally, the world's largest dance show! Just the size of the stage was astonishing. According to the guide, many people want to perform, and they undergo very rigorous training. The seating was arranged in a semi-circular shape, making it easy to see from the center.

And now, it begins! The traditional Hawaiian professional dance, live singing, live music, the movements of the fingers and hips, the grace of the costumes, the dancers' earnest breathing, and the heat of the flames... I was truly moved. Next time, I want to go with my family.

Please make sure to visit at least once! It can get cold on the bus, so please bring a jacket. Thank you.

はじめてのHawaiiで友人と参加しました。
英語か喋れないので不安でしたが、送迎は日本人の方でスムーズにバスに乗車できました。着くまでの道のりは名所の紹介を尽きることなく説明して下さり、とくに映画ジェラシックパーク、パイレーツ・オブ・カリビアンのロケ地には興奮しました！
現地での予定も丁寧に説明してくださり、安心です。ディナーは写真の大きな会場で壁画も見どころですりHawaiiフラワーく料理！紫色が綺麗なタロイモのモチモチ食感はたまりません。蟹の脚は溶かしたバターとレモンでいただきました。ウエットティッシュがありますので親切です。ステーキも日本にはないクセになるソースです。ビュフェなので自分の好きなものを好きなだけ食べられるのでよかったです。もちろん、数種類飲み放題！ウエイトレスさんも日本語がお上手でした。
いよいよ、世界最大のダンスショー
ステージの広さだけでもスケールの広さに驚きます。ガイドさんによると出演したい希望者が多く、大変厳しい訓練を受けているそうです。お席は斜めに半円状になっており、中央で見易い位置でした。
さあ、はじまりです！
伝統的なハワイのプロのダンス、生歌、生演奏、指の動き腰、衣装のしなやかさが一糸乱れないダンス、出演者の懸命な息遣い、炎の熱気、、。心から感動しました。次回は家族と行きたいです。
是非、一度足を運んでみてください！
バスの中は冷えますので上着を持っていって下さい。Thank you.

It was the most fun activity I've experienced in Hawaii so far! (Personally) There was one staff member who spoke Japanese and was very friendly. The rest of the staff primarily spoke English, and all explanations were in English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was not a problem at all! There were lockers and transportation available, which was great! There is a set pickup time, but there was a slight delay (typical overseas timing), but they do come to pick you up, so it's all good! If you're worried, it might be a good idea to call.

今までハワイで経験したアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです！（個人的に）
日本語を話してくれるスタッフさんは1人いてくれてとてもフレンドリーな方でした^_^それ以外の方は基本英語だけで、説明等も全て英語ですがジェスチャー等で教えてくれたりと全く問題ないです！ロッカーや送迎もあり良かったです！お迎え時間は設定されていますが多少遅れもありました（海外タイムですね）けどちゃんと迎えに来てくれるので大丈夫です！心配だったら電話すると良いかもです^_^

When I inquired during the application process, I was told there would be no Japanese staff on-site, which made me anxious. However, there were Japanese versions of the consent forms available. The driver for the transfer was kind, and although the local staff explained things in English, I managed to get by (laughs). I thought I could just mimic the other participants for how to ride, and I ended up skiing last every time. It became a wonderful memory.

申し込み時に聞いた際、現地には日本語スタッフがいない。。との事で　不安でしたが、同意書等は日本語版の用意がありました。送迎のドライバーさんも優しい方でしたし、現地スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)乗り方等は他の参加者の真似をすれば良いと思い、毎回最後に滑りました。良い思い出になりました。

I went for the first time! I had really wanted to see this show, and I was very moved. The powerful performances and the story were really great!

初めて行きました！ 一度このショーを見たかったのでとても感動しました。
迫力のあるパフォーマンスとストーリーがとてもよかったです！

The moment I jumped out of the Cessna was thrilling. It felt amazing while falling, it was the best! However, since I get motion sickness, I felt nauseous after the parachute opened, so I couldn't enjoy the scenery much and missed the ground.

いざセスナから飛び出す瞬間はスリルでした。落ちてる時は本当に気持ちよくてサイコーでした！
ただ、乗り物酔いする私はパラシュートが開いたあとは酔ってしまったので、あまり景色も見てられず地上が恋しかったです。

It was my long-awaited skydiving experience. The driver was a nice person who taught me a lot, so I had no troubles at all. I ordered the video and photos, and while the scenery was beautifully captured, I ended up making some funny faces, which made me laugh a lot. The scenery and the photos became great memories.

念願のスカイダイビングでした。
ドライバーさんが良い人で色々教えてくれて困ることはなかったです。
ビデオと写真も注文しましたがとても景色等は綺麗に撮れているけど、すごい顔になっているので、大笑い。
景色も写真もいい思い出になりました。

I was really scared, but once I jumped, it was beautiful. I want to jump again! The Earth was round. It's an experience everyone should have at least once in their life.

めっちゃくちゃ、怖がってましたが飛んだら、きれいでした。。また、飛びたいです！地球は丸かったです。人生に一度は体験した方がいいですよ。

Riding while watching the waves and surfers was really enjoyable. It was better than I expected. The horse wanted to eat grass all the time, which was a bit of a hassle, but I wished I could ride for a longer time.

海の波、サーファーを見ながらの乗馬は気持ち良かった。思った以上に良かった。
馬は草ばかり食べたがって困ったけど、
もっと長い時間乗りたかった。

We visited with four adults, all over 20 years old. Although it was a morning course, horseback riding while overlooking the beautiful coastline of North Shore was absolutely fantastic. Our group consisted only of our family of four, but there were two support staff members, and it was no problem even for those who were mostly beginners. The riding time and course distance were just right, without any excess or deficiency. However, the restrooms are basic, so it's advisable to take care of that beforehand.

家族4人といっても全員20歳以上の大人4人で訪れました。午前中のコースでしたが、ノースショワの美しい海岸を眺めながらの乗馬は最高に良かったです。私達の回は私達の家族4人だけでしたが、2人のサポートの方が入っており、ほぼ全員初心者でも問題無かったです。乗馬時間やコースの距離も過不足なく丁度良い感じでした。ただ、トイレ等は簡易式のものなので事前に済ませておいた方が無難です。

What an experience! This tour is definitely worth it. The boat only takes out a max of 6 people which allows for more cage time and less crowds. The cage was plenty big for everyone to see and not feel cramped. We had sharks around us the entire time we were in the water and the water was so clear it was quite the experience. The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable about not only sharks but whales as well. We were able to stop on our way back into harbor and watch the whales for a little bit. Overall such a great experience, highly recommend!

Uncle Kevin was truely an amazing bus driver/tour guide! Made the day feel as though you were a local :). Amazing commentary and local facts. A whole range of activities to choose from and by far was the best taking a surf lesson on the north shore!

Sarah was a great guide. Patient with us and friendly!! Scenery is spectacular. Highly recommend.

There was a Japanese guide, and we were able to tour the facilities smoothly. However, there is something disappointing. We were made to have lunch at 1 PM, and dinner was at 4 PM. We were not informed about this in advance...

日本人の案内人がいて、スムーズに施設を見学することができました。
しかし、残念な事があります。13時に昼食を取らされて、夕食は16時にされてしまいました。そんなことは、事前に知らせていませんでしたが…

Skydiving itself was very enjoyable, and it provided a sense of freedom and accomplishment beyond my expectations.

I believe it was a partner company of Veltra, but the driver who picked us up at the Hyatt in the morning was Japanese and spoke English. He was very arrogant and had a commanding tone that didn't quite match the vibe of Hawaii.

When we arrived at the airport, I realized he was the only one at that company who could speak Japanese. It seemed like he was relied upon by many people, and since Japanese people tend to be quite reserved overseas, he seemed to be getting a bit carried away. I have studied abroad in America, so I can speak English, but others were in a situation where they could understand but not speak, so they seemed to listen to him unconditionally. He kept insisting that a tip was necessary for the return ride, which felt somewhat unpleasant.

Other than that, I had a lot of fun and think it was an interesting experience in my life. Thank you.

スカイダイビング自体はとても楽しく思った以上に開放感があり達成感がありました。

ベルトラの提携会社だと思いますが、朝ハイアットに迎えに来てくれた車の運転手さんは日本人で英語が話せる方でした。すごく横柄で命令的な口調がとてもハワイと合っていませんでした。
飛行場について分りました。その会社で日本語が話せる方は彼だけだったみたいです。多分たくさんの方に頼られてそして、日本の方はとても海外ではおとなしいので、いい気になっているような感じでした。自分はアメリカで留学したことがあるので、英語が話せますが他の方は聞けるけど話せないような状態なので、彼の言うことを無条件に聞く感じでした。しきりに帰りの送りの車ではチップが必要だと言うことを、ずっと言っていたのが、何となく嫌な感じです。
それ以外はとても楽しく、人生で面白い経験をしたと思っています。ありがとうございます

The instructor kindly taught me. Once we took the chartered plane up, the flight was just a moment. We flew together at the instructor's timing!

インストラクターの方に優しく教えていただきました。
チャーター機に乗って上まで上がると、飛ぶのは一瞬。インストラクターの方のタイミングで一緒に飛びました！

It was amazing. I had a great time even though I couldn't speak English! However, I think it would have been better if there had been some information about the optional costs. I never expected to have to pay nearly 30,000 yen extra on-site...

最高です。英語が話せなくても楽しくできました！
が、オプションの記載が全くなかったのでそういう記載があれば良かったかなと思います。まさか現地で3万円近く追加で払うことになるとは…。

I was reading reviews, so I was able to listen to the explanations from the famous old man, which were hard to understand, while laughing. When he kept saying "massage," he was referring to the pressure from the dive that makes your body shake. If you only rely on the explanation given on the day without understanding anything, it might lead to a lot of anxiety. However, the organization was quite poor. I had requested a cameraman instead of the instructor for the photo shoot, but it ended up being the instructor's wrist instead, so we couldn't get photos from the cameraman. There were some good real photos, but I wished we had more overall. They say that diving is something you should do at least once in your life, and I agree. It was apparently -16°C when we took off, which was really cold. I couldn't breathe! They teach you how to breathe. The free fall was amazing, but I felt extremely nauseous after the parachute opened. The instructor, perhaps thinking it was part of the service, spun around in circles and picked up speed while laughing, but for me, it was the worst. Those who are not good with roller coasters should be cautious. I lay down for about an hour. However, it seems to depend on the instructor, as there were people who descended quietly while enjoying the scenery. I thought if I was going to do this experience, it should be in Hawaii... and it was indeed beautiful.

口コミ見ていたんで名物おじさんの日本語わかりにくい説明も笑いながら聞けました。マッサージマッサージ言ってるのはダイブ中の風圧で肉がプルプルする事を言ってます…。もし何もわからず当日の説明だけだとすごく不安な事になるかもしれません。ただ段取りはだいぶ悪いです。カメラ撮影でインストラクターの手首じゃなくカメラマンを希望したのが逆になっててカメラマン撮影はできませんでした。リアルな写真でよかったとこもありますが全体のもほしかった。ダイブ自体は一生に一度やった方がいいといいますがその通りだと思います。飛び立つ時だけ−16℃らしく寒いです。呼吸できません！呼吸法教えてくれます。落ちてる時は最高でしたがパラシュート開いた後 めちゃくちゃ酔いました。サービスのつもりかインストラクターが笑いながら8の字で回ったりスピード出したりしましたが自分には最悪でした。ジェットコースター苦手な人は注意必要です。1時間くらい横になってました。ただインストラクターによるみたいで静かに景色みながら降りてきた人もいました。体験はどうせやるならと思ってたハワイ…やっぱりキレイでした。

The atmosphere on the tour bus was not very good... The guy who picked us up was nice, but I couldn't hear any of his explanations at all; it was really hard to hear him. Yet, his attitude was quite big.

As a result, my first skydiving experience was nerve-wracking, but it was really amazing! The staff who jumped with us were so encouraging that I felt completely at ease! This feeling is something only those who have experienced skydiving can understand, so I hope everyone gets to see that view and try skydiving at least once! By the way, I already want to do it again!

行きのツアーバス内の雰囲気はあまり…、
おじさんが送迎してくれたが説明とかの
声が全く届かず、本当に聞こえませんでした。
そのくせ態度は大きい方ですね。
結果、初めてのスカイダイビング
ドキドキでしたが
すごく良かったです！
一緒に飛んでくれるスタッフが
盛り上げて下さるので全然大丈夫でした！
この気持ちはスカイダイビング体験した人にしか分からないので1度でいいからあの景色みて
スカイダイビングやって頂きたいです！
ちなみに、あたしはもう1度やりたいと
思いました！

I was excited to go on this event. My excitement was well rewarded. On the way out we got a bonus of seeing a whole group of humpback whales breaching high in the air!!! At this point I felt my money was already a good investment!
The sharks did not disappoint either!! At least 20 of them circled our boat and cage while we got great views! Captain Caleo is a super guy and excellent at steering this tour perfectly
I would recommend this tour to all my friends!
Oh and we saw dolphins on the way back!!

There were plenty of fun buddies around. I felt nervous, but there was no time to hesitate as I was in the air. I think I might get hooked on this. It's reassuring that you can see the photos and videos before making a purchase.

愉快なバディがいっぱいいました。緊張もありましたが、躊躇する暇もなく空中でした。やみつきになりそうです。
写真やビデオは見てから購入なので安心です。
