North Shore
The food was as expected for the price, and above all, the show was fantastic. I was a bit anxious about the pick-up and return for the transportation, but having a Japanese-speaking guide made me feel at ease. It took about an hour to get to the cultural center, but I was able to enjoy the time without getting bored.
料理は料金にしては想定内でしたし、何よりショーが最高でした。送迎に関して、ピックアップや帰りが不安でしたが、日本語のガイドさんもいて安心でした。カルチャーセンターまで1時間程度ありましたが、退屈せずに過ごせました。
I participated in the canyon horseback riding. I was a bit worried about staying on for 90 minutes without falling off, but I had no problems and enjoyed it thoroughly. The hungry horses took a detour to eat grass right away, but when I pulled the reins, they came back nicely. The 90 minutes flew by, and I would love to participate again if I get the chance.
The garlic shrimp for lunch was different from what I had eaten the last time I visited; it was a bento with shrimp. I was a bit disappointed by that. The time spent at Dole Plantation was short, and it felt more like a bathroom break at a drive-in. I felt like it might not have been necessary. A leisurely lunch in Haleiwa would have been better.
I chose the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch offered by the travel agency because it was bundled with other attractions, thinking it would be simpler. The horseback riding was fun, but the other activities felt unimportant. I understand now that a tour focused solely on horseback riding wouldn't be feasible. I'll keep this in mind for next time. Thank you.
渓谷乗馬に参加しました。
90分落ちないでいられるか、少し心配でしたが、全く問題なく楽しく参加できました。
食いしん坊なお馬さん達は、直ぐに草を食べに寄り道しましたが、手綱をひくとちゃんと戻ってくれました。
90分があっという間で、また機会があったら参加したいです。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプは、以前行ったときに食べたものとは違い、エビ入り弁当でした。
これには少しがっかりでした。
ドールプランテーションも滞在時間が短くて、ドライブインでトイレ休憩みたいな感じでした。無くてもよかったような気がします。
ハレイワでゆっくりランチの方がいいですね。
旅行社オプショナルのクアロア牧場の乗馬が、他のアトラクションとセットだったので、こちらの方がシンプルかなと思い選びました。
乗馬は楽しかったのですが、他はどうでもいい感じでした。
乗馬だけのオプショナルツアーは成り立たないのだと理解しました。
次回の参考にします。
ありがとうございました。
I found the driver/tour guide annoying and condescending. When telling us the time limits he could have scripted better like i.e." we're on a tight schedule and we only have 10 mins on this site so please be back at (state the exact time). He's so full of himself and very scattered with his stories and facts. He didn't even know Hawaii's state bird, he said the white crane. He kept on showing his arm muscles and his jokes were not even funny. He kept on singing, he could just have played any Hawaiian music, he also took jabs at other driver/tour guides.
There was no feeling of floating at all; it felt like flying, and the views of the sea and mountains were beautiful, with a rainbow perfectly arched in the sky, creating a stunning sight. The instructors and photographers were also very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.
浮遊感は一切なく飛んでるような感じで、海と山の景色が綺麗で虹もちょうどかかってて絶景でした。インストラクターやカメラマンの人たちも楽しませてくれるような感じで陽気な人が多かったです。
In addition to horseback riding, I was able to spend a meaningful day visiting the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town.
At the Dole Plantation, there wasn't much time to stay, so I could only do a light stroll and some shopping at the shop.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
In Haleiwa Town, I had garlic shrimp for lunch. It was plump and delicious. Since the town isn't very large, I enjoyed walking around the shops and strolling with a coffee in hand.
Horseback riding by the beach was refreshing and fun. All the horses are smart, so I think even beginners can enjoy riding.
I was disappointed by some misinformation regarding horseback riding. The website and voucher mentioned that there would be free lockers available at the riding area, so I planned to store my valuables like my camera in a locker. However, there were no lockers, and the guide told me to keep my valuables with me, which made me anxious. I recommend bringing a small bag, like a waist pouch, to hold your valuables.
乗馬の他に、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンの観光も付いていて有意義に一日を過ごす事が出来ました。
ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間がそんなにないので、軽い散策とショップでの買い物くらいしかできませんでした。
ウミガメは残念ながら見られませんでした。
ハレイワタウンでは、ガーリックシュリンプを昼食に食べました。
ぷりぷりでおいしかったです。
そんなに広くない街なので、歩いてショップめぐりをしたり、コーヒーを片手に散策したりと楽しめました。
海辺での乗馬は気持ちがよく、楽しかったです。
どの馬もかしこいので、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめると思います。
乗馬に関して、事前の情報違いがあり残念でした。
「乗馬場では鍵のかかるロッカー(無料)がございます」との説明文がホームページやバウチャーに記載されていたので、カメラなど貴重品をロッカー預けようと思っていましたが、実際にはロッカーは無く、ガイドに自分で貴重品を持つように言われて焦りました。
ウエストポーチなど、貴重品を入れられる小さめのバッグを持って行くことをお勧めします。
The instructor was kind, and the staff spoke Japanese. The view while descending from the sky was breathtaking, and it was the best experience I could have.
インストラクターも優しく、スタッフも日本語が通じました。上空から降りる時の景色は圧巻で最高の体験ができました。
Due to bad weather, the scheduled dolphin snorkeling tour was canceled, and I decided to quickly go to this Polynesian show that I had been somewhat interested in for a while. Ultimately, while it was very disappointing not to swim with the dolphins, I truly felt that it was wonderful to be able to attend such an amazing show that made me forget that regret.
Since I participated in a tour that included only dinner and the show, I didn't have time to explore the entire park, but it seemed to have better facilities than I expected, so I think it would be enjoyable to come during the day as well.
Additionally, my advice would be to try to sit as close to the stage as possible when watching such shows. If you're seated in the front, you can experience the real Polynesian show at a distance where you can feel the performers' breath and the energy of their movements.
I highly recommend visiting this place at least once.
悪天候により予定していたイルカシュノーケリングツアーが中止となり、以前より少し気になっていたこのポリネシアンショーに急遽行くことを決定しました。
結果的に、イルカと泳げなかったことは非常に残念でしたが、その無念をかき消してくれるくらい、来ることが出来て本当に良かったと思える素晴らしいショーでした。
参加したのはディナーとショーのみのツアーでしたので、園内全部を周る時間はありませんでしたが、思ったより良い施設のようなので、昼間から来ても楽しめるかと思います。
また、アドバイスをするとすれば、やはりこういったショーを見る場合は、出来る限り舞台の近くの席から見ることをお勧めします。前方の席であれば、演者の息づかいや身体の躍動を感じられるくらいの距離感で本物のポリネシアンのショーを体感できます。
是非一度訪れてみて欲しい場所です。
I was totally surprised to see that there were so many! Although it's early in the morning, the saying "the early bird catches the worm" is definitely true! It's absolutely worth going! This experience can't be had in Japan!
まさかあんないるなんて‼︎っていう感じでした‼︎
朝は早いけど、リアルガチで早起きは三文の徳‼︎
行く価値ありまくり‼︎この体験は日本じゃ出来ませんね‼︎
I thought the final bus stop on the way back was Aloha Landing, but I was dropped off at a completely different location and had to walk for about 30 minutes. This was due to a lack of explanation, and I will strongly request that this be addressed in the future.
帰路の最終バス停はアロハランディングと思っていたら、全く違う場所で降ろされ、30分ほど歩くことになった。説明不足であり今後注意されるよう厳重に申し入れる。
I wasn't quite sure where the shuttle bus stop was, and the travel time was a bit long, which are negative points. But other than that, it was truly wonderful! The food and the show were enjoyable, and time flew by.
送迎バスの乗り場が良くわからないのと、移動時間が少し長い事がマイナスポイント。でもそれ以外は大変すばらしい!
食事もショーも楽しくてアッという間に時間が過ぎました。
My first skydiving experience. I came to Hawaii last year, but I couldn't do it due to scheduling conflicts, so I was determined to make a comeback this time. However, the weather was unfortunately rainy... I was really anxious, thinking I might not be able to do it, but after waiting for about an hour, we suddenly took off when the sky cleared a bit!
The instructor and the cameraman were both really funny. We boarded the Cessna and headed up into the sky!! Before takeoff, I was so excited that I couldn't contain myself, but gradually I started to feel anxious... (after all, I have a fear of heights... but I love roller coasters!). When the door of the Cessna opened, there was no time to hesitate, and we jumped right into the open sky!!! I was the first one to jump, but others said, "Seeing someone fall from the plane is an indescribable feeling." Once we were flying, it was just pure fun. The moment we landed, I thought, "I want to jump again!" I intended to buy either a photo or a video as a keepsake, but both turned out so great that I ended up purchasing both! (It's definitely better to have the cameraman take the video). I want to jump again the next time I come to Hawaii!
初めてのスカイダイビング。昨年もハワイに来ましたが、予定が合わず出来なかったので絶対リベンジしたいと思っていました。しかし、天気はあいにくの雨…もしかしたら出来ないかも…とても不安でしたが1時間ほど待って、少し晴れたところでいきなり出発!
インストラクターさんもカメラマンさんとても面白い方でした。セスナ機に乗っていざ上空へ!!出発前までは楽しみすぎて楽しみすぎてしょうがなかった気持ちが、段々不安に…笑(なんせ、高所恐怖症なもので…でもジェットコースターとかは大好きです!)セスナ機の扉が開いたら、待ったと言う暇もないまま即大空へ!!!私は1番最初だったのですが、他の方は「人が落ちていく姿見るのはなんとも言えない気持ちだった」と仰ってました…笑。飛んでしまえば、ほんとに楽しいの一言でした。着地した瞬間、もう1回飛びたい!と思うほどでした。記念にと写真かビデオを買うつもりにしていましたが、どちらも撮ってくれていたので確認すると、どちらも良すぎて両方購入しました!(ビデオは絶対カメラマンさんに撮ってもらう方がいいです)また次、ハワイに来た時は飛びたいと思います!
Driver Levent was right on time for pick up .The tour was amazing & very informative . The knowledge Levent had was incredible . the sights we saw were good & lunch delicious . Highly recommend this tour for 1st timers to Oahu or returnees to the island.My daughter & I had a great time .
Aloha Sue, Thank you for your thoughtful words and kind review! :) Yes, This is exactly what we had in mind, to show our guests all the beautiful natural locations around the whole island so everyone can pick their favorite! :))) Mahalo Nui Loa for joining us and hope to see you again one day! :))) Noelani and the Oahu Nature Tours Team
Arriving 15 minutes early at the meeting place, I found many tour participants there. Just as I was feeling a bit lost, I heard the clear voice of Kerina, who was wearing a muumuu, and I was able to meet up without any issues. Kerina, reminiscent of Kiyomaro Ayakouji, was an excellent guide, and the bus was filled with laughter. We efficiently visited key points, and I was able to purchase valuable decorations with a warranty, quickly making our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was thrilled to have Kerina as my guide for my first Japanese-language tour. The Polynesian Cultural Center was a place I wanted to visit again on my own due to time constraints. The lunch and dinner were neither particularly good nor bad, but I was moved by the university and palace we were shown before the show. Additionally, I was deeply impressed when I learned about the history of the facility from the volunteer students. I felt very satisfied knowing that what I paid would help the students achieve their goals as I left in the shuttle.
集合場所に15分前に着くと、多くのツアー参加者が居て、迷っていると直ぐにムームーを着たKERINAさんの澄んだ声が聞こえ無事ミート。綾小路きみまろを彷彿とさせるKERINAさんの名ガイドに車内は爆笑の渦に。要所を効率的に回り、貴重な装飾品も保証書付きで安心購入でき、あっという間にポリネシアン文化センターへ。初めての日本語ガイドツアーにKERINAさんが付いてくれて大感激でした。ポリネシアン文化センターは時間不足で今度は個人で来たい施設でした。ランチ、ディナーは可もなく不可もない食事でしたが、ショーの前に案内された大学と宮殿に感動。更にボランティアの学生さんに施設開設の歴史を聞いて大感動。ここで支払ったものが学生さんの目的達成に役立つなら大満足だったと送迎車で後にしました。
I finally went skydiving with my mother! We signed up for the 9 AM session with round-trip hotel transportation, so I woke up at 4 AM and was picked up at the hotel at 5 AM as planned. After stopping at several hotels, there were about 12 people on the bus I was on. We arrived at the airfield in about an hour. There were already around 15 to 20 people there.
We watched a video and listened to explanations, and while waiting for our turn, we could relax freely. Groups of about six people went at a time, and we couldn't choose our order. My mother and I were in the last group, so we waited for about an hour and a half, but it wasn't a problem at all since we had snacks, took photos, and watched the dives of the previous groups, which helped us mentally prepare (laughs). If you finish your jump early, you still have to wait for the bus to leave, so it's good to have something to do. There are plenty of tables and chairs, so I recommend bringing snacks. They also had some for sale from a cart. All bags must be stored in a coin locker (you need four 25-cent coins).
When our turn came, we got on the helicopter and arrived at the jump point in about 10 to 15 minutes! Once we arrived, we jumped right away! No waiting! (laughs) If you wear contacts or glasses, they let you keep them on and provide goggles! I wore goggles too, but they were a bit tight, so my eyelash extensions got in the way, making it a little difficult to open my eyes. During free fall, it was hard to breathe, and my cheeks flapped, but it was the best experience ever!!! Just be sure to take motion sickness medication since there are a few turns during the second half. If I hadn't taken it, I might have gotten sick! (laughs)
I had ordered photos and videos, so after the jump, I checked the results. It seems you don't have to buy them if you don't like them, but they explained at the beginning that you can't skip buying both. I liked both, so I purchased the photos and videos for $460 (credit card payment is accepted). The data is provided on a USB! That was the end of it. On the way back, everyone was sleeping on the bus. We got back to our hotel in Waikiki before 11 AM, so we were able to rest a bit and still have plenty of time to enjoy the afternoon. I had heard that the jump could be canceled due to weather or that the wait times could be longer, so I was glad we had good weather and everything went smoothly. It became a lifelong memory.
念願のスカイダイビングへ母と初挑戦!
往復ホテル送迎つきの朝9時の回に申し込んだので、朝は4時に起き、予定通り5時にホテルでピックアップしてもらい出発。いくつかのホテルをまわって、わたしの乗っていたバスは総勢12人ほどでした。1時間くらいで飛行場へ到着。そこにすでに15〜20人くらいはいたかな?
ビデオを見たり説明を聞いて、順番がくるまでは自由に待機。1グループ6人ずつくらいで、順番は選べませんでした。わたしと母は最終グループだったので、1時間半くらい待ちましたが、持参した軽食を食べたり、写真を撮ったり、前のグループの人達のダイブを見ていたりしたので心の準備もゆっくりできて(笑)全然苦ではなかったです。(逆に早く飛び終わっても帰りのバスがすぐ出発するわけではないので、待ってないといけません)テーブルとイスがたくさんあるので、軽食を持参することをオススメします。ワゴン販売?で売ってもいました。荷物はすべてコインロッカーに預けます。(25セント硬貨×4枚必要)順番がきたらヘリに乗って約10分〜15分くらいでダイブするポイントに到着!着いたらもうすぐ飛びます!待ったナシ!笑 コンタクトやメガネのひとはつけたままでゴーグル貸してくれます!わたしもゴーグルしましたが、きつめにつけられるのでマツエクが当たって目が開けづらかったのでちょっと大変でした。フリーホール中は息がしづらかったり、ほっぺたビロビロなったけど、結果最高でした!!!ただ後半何回か旋回するので酔い止め必須です。飲まなかったら多分出てたかも!笑
わたしは写真とビデオを頼んでいたので、終わったあと、それぞれのできあがりを確認。気に入らなければ買わなくてもいいみたいですが、両方買わないはダメと最初に説明がありました。わたしは両方気にいったので写真もビデオも購入。460ドル。(クレジット払いOKです)データはUSBでもらえます!それで終了。帰りのバスはみんな寝てました。11時前にはワイキキのホテルに帰ってこれたので、少し休憩して午後からも十分遊べました。天候によっては中止になったり、待ち時間がもっと長くなったりもあると聞いていたので、天候にめぐまれてスムーズに終われて良かったです。一生の思い出になりました。
Horseback riding by the seaside was amazing. The tour company's guide taught us how to ride horses in detail, so even complete beginners had no problems. (On the other hand, the ranch staff spoke only English, so I couldn't understand anything. Without the guide's pre-ride briefing, would we have been able to ride at all?) After all, they are living creatures; the young women struggled as the horses seemed to underestimate them. This tour included a little sightseeing in Haleiwa, but it might be better to focus solely on horseback riding. (There were overlaps with other day tours.)
海辺の乗馬は最高でした。ツアー会社のガイドさんが、馬の乗り方を丁寧に教えてくださったので、全くの初体験者でも問題はありませんでした。(反対に牧場の方は、英語なので全然わかりません。ガイドさんの事前レクがなければ、何もわからず乗ることに?) やはり生き物、若い女性は馬になめられて扱いに苦労していました。このツアーにはわずかなハレイワ観光などが含まれていましたが、乗馬だけに特化した方が良いかもわかりません。(他の1日観光と重複するところがあったので)
In the evening, I was picked up in Waikiki and signed up for a buffet and show tour.
It takes about an hour by car from Waikiki to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Of course, you can sleep during the ride, but the Japanese guide explains the buildings and scenery along the way, so we arrived in no time.
The buffet had delicious dishes, and the staff was very attentive, which was great.
The show is in English, but there is a simple explanation during the car ride, and the pamphlet (in Japanese) also provides information, so I think even those who can't speak English at all can enjoy it.
The combat dance is particularly well-regarded, and although I've seen combat dances in other shows before, this one was the best I've experienced.
On the way back, we arrived in Waikiki after 10 PM, and they drop you off right in front of each hotel, but there was no Japanese guide, just the driver. Since we passed our hotel, I was able to communicate a bit in English to ask the driver to stop, and we made it back safely, but it might be a good idea to confirm your name and hotel when getting on.
夕方にワイキキでピックしてもらい、ブッフェとショーのツアーに申し込みました。
ワイキキからポリネシアカルチャーセンターまでは車で1時間ほど。もちろん寝ていても構いませんが、日本人ガイドの方が道中の建物や景色など説明してくれるのであっという間に着きました。
ブッフェはどの料理も美味しく、スタッフの方々もこまめに来てくださりとても良かったです。
ショーは英語ですが、行きの車の中でも簡単に説明があり、パンフレット(日本語)にも説明があるので英語が全くできない方でも楽しめると思います。
そして戦闘の踊りが特に評判との事ですが、これまで他のショーの戦闘の踊りも見たのですが今回の戦闘の踊りがいちばん良かったです。
帰りはワイキキに着くのが22時過ぎるので各ホテル正面まで送っていただけるのですが、日本語ガイドの方はおらずドライバーさんだけです。私達のホテルを通り過ぎたので当方少々ですが英語ができるためドライバーさんにすぐに止めてもらい無事に帰れましたが、乗るときに名前とホテル名は必ず確認した方が良いかもしれません。
Our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center center was truly amazing. We did splurge on the super ambassador ticket. Which was well worth every penny. We spent the day with Tyrone, he was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we understood everything we were watching or listening too. It started to rain and he ran and supplied us all with rain ponchos. Everyone who worked there were friendly, and knowledgeable about their land. We were there for 8 hours and we could have easily have spent several more hours.
I was able to see a lot of sharks!! It was amazing!! However, the boat was really rocking, and I got very seasick (・ω・`).
たくさんのサメを見れました!!
感動!!
ただ、船がめっちゃ揺れて船酔いがやばかったです(・ω・`)
What an amazing experience, we spent all day at the PCC saw so many different cultures. We saw the church and did all sorts of activities, the only let down was the night show. It dragged for about an hour until it got fun and we saw the fireshow.
Our first time in Hawaii and skydiving as a couple.
We gathered at 4:30 AM and after an hour's drive, we arrived at the skydiving site.
With the dawn, we took off in a Cessna.
Is 4,000 meters really this high? (・・;)
When it was time to jump, the instructor pushed my back without giving me a choice (laughs).
The descent before the parachute opened was so intense that I thought I might die, but the moment it opened, the feeling of relief and the sensation of flying in the sky were incredible!
夫婦で人生初ハワイ&スカイダイビング
朝4時半集合からの1時間の道のりを経てスカイダイビング場へ
夜明けとともにセスナで上空へ
4000メートルってこんな高いの(・・;)
飛び出す時は有無を言わさずインストラクターが背中を押すと(笑)
パラシュート開くまでの降下は息がし辛く死ぬかとおも思いましたが、開いた瞬間の安心感と空を飛んでる感がハンパない!
I've always wanted to try skydiving. I decided to take the plunge for the memories of Hawaii!
There is an indescribable thrill that only those who have experienced it can understand. Jumping out of the Cessna felt like becoming a bird for a moment, and the sensation of swaying as the parachute opened, guided by the instructor, was incredible! The instructors were all fun and made it easy to relax and soar.
As you descend, you get to enjoy the stunning scenery. The emotions are unique to Hawaii. I'm so glad I took on this challenge! I want to jump again!
ずっとやってみたかったスカイダイビング。ハワイの思い出に…と思い切って挑戦しました!
これは体験した人でないと味わえない、何とも言えない感動があります。セスナから飛び出し、一瞬鳥になったような気分と、パラシュートが開いてからのインストラクターの操縦でゆらゆら揺れる感覚がたまりません!インストラクターの方々も楽しい方たちばかりでリラックスして羽ばたけます。
素晴らしい景色を眺めながら落下します。ハワイだからこその感動があります。挑戦して良かった
です!また飛びたいなぁ〜
We participated as a family. The instructor was friendly and had a great personality. We have done several horseback riding experiences in Hawaii, but the trail along the shoreline was our first time, and it was truly moving.
家族で参加しました。インストラクターの先生が気さくな感じの良い先生でした。ハワイでいくつか乗馬体験をやりましたが、波打ち際のトレイルは初めで、感動しました。
It was my first time skydiving, and it was very thrilling and enjoyable. However, I felt some anxiety because the driver's explanations didn't come across clearly.
初めてのスカイダイビングでしたが、とてもスリリングで楽しめました。ドライバーさんの説明がうまくこちらに伝わってこなかったので、そこの部分は不安感を覚えました。
We enjoyed our circle island tour in Oct. this was a special occasion for us and our second trip to Oahu. We wanted to see more of the island this time and choose this tour because it had so many stops and was a full day trip. Our driver was very informative & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed all our stops and had the best day!!! The lunch at Fumis was fantastic! I would recommend this tour to everyone!
Dear Thomas, Thank you for your thoughtful words and kind review! :) Yes, This is exactly what we had in mind, to show our guests all the beautiful natural locations around the whole island so everyone can pick their favorite! :))) Mahalo Nui Loa for joining us and hope to see you again one day! :))) Noelani and the Oahu Nature Tours Team
We had a total of 11 people picked up from Honolulu for the morning course. After arriving and a brief explanation, we waited about an hour before the dive. It wasn't as long of a wait as I expected.
There was a staff member who was fluent in Japanese, so we were able to get by without any particular inconvenience. The instructor didn't speak Japanese, but what he was saying was simple, and he taught us using gestures, which made it reassuring.
Then we took off in the Cessna! Once the door opened, we dropped immediately. There were people waiting behind us to jump, so there was no time to say "Ah, scary!" (laughs). Skydiving really goes by in an instant, but there's no doubt it will be an amazing experience! The free fall was a bit breathless, but it lasts just a moment, so it's bearable (・ω・).
I was fine, but there were about two people who felt sick afterward. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be wise to take some anti-nausea medication beforehand.
私達の時は午前中のコースでホノルルから計11人の送迎でした。到着して説明後一時間ほど待ちダイブ。思ったより待ちませんでした。
日本語の堪能なスタッフさんがいたので特に不便もなく過ごせました。インストラクターの方は日本語は話せませんが、言ってることも簡単ですしジェスチャー等で教えてくれるので安心です。
いざセスナで上空へ!
扉が開いたら即落下。同様に飛ぶ人が後ろにスタンバってるので、きゃーこわーいなんて言ってる暇もないです 笑
スカイダイビングは本当にあっという間ですが、最高の体験になること間違いなし!
フリーフォールは若干息苦しかったですが一瞬なので耐えられます(・ω・)
私は平気でしたが、後から気持ち悪くなってしまった方が2人程いました。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲まれた方が無難かも。
This is my second attempt this year! I finally got to fly! When I went in March, the weather was bad, and even though I woke up early, I ended up waiting for five hours only for it to be canceled and refunded. I was disappointed not to fly, and it felt like I wasted my time in Hawaii. By the time I returned to Waikiki, it was already past noon, and not being able to fly hit me hard!
But then came my revenge! My sweet darling quickly planned for October. This time, flying was truly the best feeling ever. I got to do something I've always wanted to try!
今年2回目の正直!やっと飛べました!
3月に行ったときは、天候不良で早起きして行ったのに、5時間も待機して結局中止で返金キャンセル>_<飛べなかったことも残念やし、せっかくのハワイ滞在時間を無駄にしたみたいで、ワイキキに帰ったら昼過ぎてて、飛べずに落ち込みがダブルでパンチがきつかった!!
そこからのリベ〜〜〜〜ンジ(^-^)優しいダーリン
がさっそく10月に♡
今回飛べて本当に最高に気持ちよかったです。
一回はやってみたいこと!できちゃいました!
I participated in a plan that included transportation. The pickup was about 20 minutes late. After we got on, there were more pickups, but there was no place to stop, so we kept going around the same area, which I think caused the delay.
They come with a smaller microbus, which has a flashy zipline photo printed on it, making it easy to recognize. The ride lasts about an hour and a half.
Due to the influence of television, despite the reviews saying there are hardly any Japanese people, we went as a party of eight, consisting of four Japanese groups. There were three instructors, and everything was in English. However, we could communicate through gestures.
There are points along the way to hydrate and get snacks like tomatoes and bananas.
We took a buggy up to the summit and then zipped down, so the view was amazing! The distance is long, so I think there's a sense of satisfaction from each run. However, I got a little bored halfway through (sweat).
We started at 11:00 and finished at 13:00, but the driver asked if we were hungry and stopped at a nearby 7-Eleven.
I gave each instructor a tip of $10. I don't think two groups tipped. I didn't tip the driver.
The instructors took photos at key points with their smartphones and later emailed them to us, offering to sell the data. It was $45 for 16 shots. Of course, we could check them before purchasing, and just seeing them was enough for me.
送迎ありのプランで参加しました。
ピックアップの時間は20分くらい遅れてきました。私たちが乗った後もピックアップがあったのですが、止める場所がなくグルグル同じ場所を回ってたのでその辺りが遅れた原因かと思います。
小さめのマイクロバスで来るのですが、ジップライン写真がプリントされていて派手なので分かりやすいと思います。
乗っている時間は1時間半くらいかな。
テレビの影響か、口コミはほとんど日本人がいないという割りに日本人4組の8人パーティで行いました。
インストラクターさんは3人で、全て英語です。でも、身ぶり手振りで意思疏通はできます。
途中で水分補給やトマト、バナナなど補給できるポイントがあります。
バギーで山頂?まで登って、そこからジップラインで下ってくるので景色は最高です!
距離は長いので1本の満足感はあると思います。でも、私は途中でちょっと飽きちゃいました(汗)
11時スタート、13時アップだったのですが帰りのドライバーさんがお腹減ったか聞いてくれて、途中にあるセブンイレブンに寄ってくれました。
チップはインストラクターにそれぞれ10$ずつ渡しました。2組は渡してなかったと思います。ドライバーさんには渡していません。
インストラクターが要所要所でスマホで写真を撮ってくれていたにですが、後日メールで送ってきてくれて、データを販売してくれます。16カットで45$でした。購入する前にもちろん確認出来るので、それを見るだけでも私は十分でした。
I struggled to choose from several shops, but I'm glad I did.
There are Japanese-speaking staff available (it seems they have shifts), providing services that help ensure a sense of security as much as possible.
As long as the weather is good, I was able to finish my activities by around noon if I started early in the morning, from the pickup to returning to the hotel.
I ended up purchasing a video that I thought I might not need. I haven't had the chance yet, but I would like to try it again.
いくつかのショップから悩みに悩んで選びましたが良かったです。
日本語の地上スタッフがおられ(シフトはあるようですが)可能な限り安心してもらえるようなサービスをされています。
天気さえ良ければ迎えからホテル帰着まで、朝一ならお昼くらいに終われました。
要らないかなと思っていたビデオも購入しました。なかなかタイミングがないですが、またやってみたいです。
During my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to fulfill my wife's wish to participate in an activity that was introduced on a certain TV program, which was both shocking and exciting! I personally am not very good with heights, and I usually can't handle fast rides or anything that involves falling, so I had some anxiety. However, the staff were friendly and took safety seriously, which allowed me to trust them.
Taking that first step to jump was scary, but the speed wasn't too intense, and once I got to see the breathtaking views, I felt completely fine! Since the staff communicated entirely in English, it was a bit challenging for us to understand with our limited English skills, but it was very reassuring that some Japanese participants in our team provided additional explanations.
I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
初めてのハワイ旅行にて、某テレビ番組でも紹介されて衝撃的かつ刺激的だったので是非とも参加したいという妻の希望に応えたく参加させていただきました!
僕自身高所もあまり得意ではなく、速いだの落ちるだの絶叫系はもっぱらダメなので不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々が気さくな感じと、安全性にもしっかり配慮されていたので身を任す事が出来ました。
飛び出す一歩は怖いけど、スピードもそれほどキツくなく、絶景を見れたらそんなことは全然大丈夫でした!
スタッフの方々がすべて英語での対応だったため、僕らの英語力では理解が難しかったですが、同じチームに日本の方々が説明を加えていただけたのもとても心強かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいですね!
私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。
It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.
