Waikiki
We went on our honeymoon with another foreign couple. It was unfortunately rainy, but the guide contacted us early and suggested we dress in clothes that could get muddy, so I participated in shorts, a T-shirt, and comfortable sandals. I got completely muddy, and it felt great! (^ ^) The guide provided fun explanations in both English and Japanese while we walked, and also shared recommendations for shops and culture, which was really wonderful! I would love to join the dolphin tour next time, and I hope to have the same guide again.
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、外国人カップルとの4人でした。
あいにくの雨でしたがガイドさんが早めに連絡をくださり、泥だらけになってもいい格好でとの事だったので短パンにTシャツと歩きやすいサンダルで参加。
思いっきり泥だらけになり気持ちよかったです(^ ^)
またガイドさんが英語と日本語で楽しく説明しながら歩いてくださり、オススメのお店や文化なども教えてくれて本当にお会いできてよかったです!
また次回ドルフィンツアーにも参加したいので、同じガイドさんがいいなーと思っております。
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Please consider joining us for other tours next time. We look forward to seeing you!
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで私たちもとても嬉しいです。是非、次回は他のツアーにもご参加ください。お待ちしています。
It was all a first-time experience and I was full of anxiety, but it was fun! However, for those who get seasick, please take medication in advance. The boat sways quite a bit, so it was a bit tough for the kids.
全てが初めての経験で不安だらけでしたが、楽しかったー❗ただ、船酔いされる方は薬を事前に飲んで下さい。船がかなり揺れますので子供にはちょっと可哀想でした。
I participated in the 120m parasailing activity. The weather was great, and it was a beautiful and amazing experience.
The photos were taken by the crew and sold to us, but they allowed us to bring our own cameras, so everyone was taking pictures with their own cameras.
Also, since we could bring our cameras at our own risk, I was able to take a lot of photos from the sky. I am very satisfied.
I'm glad I participated!
120mのパラセイルに参加しました。
天気にも恵まれていたこともあり、とても綺麗で最高なアクティビティでした。
写真はクルーの人たちが撮影⇒販売という形態でしたが、
カメラ持参を許してくれたので皆さん普通に持参したカメラで写真撮っていました。
また自己責任という形でパラセイルにカメラ持参で挑むことができましたので、空から沢山の写真を撮影することができました。とても大満足です。
参加してよかった!
The car that was supposed to pick us up was over 20 minutes late, which made me very anxious thinking we might be left behind...
Parasailing itself was incredibly fun! There wasn't anyone who spoke Japanese, but the guide made an effort to communicate, and despite not understanding everything, we had a great time.
If you're planning to do this, it's best to wear something that you can easily take off since there are no changing facilities. You'll need to change on the boat!
Also, if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. We saw about five groups, including ourselves, doing parasailing, so it can be quite intense.
迎えに来てくれる車が20分以上遅れてきたのが置いてかれたのかと思い大変不安に思いました…
パラセイリング自体はものすごく楽しかったです!日本語が話せる方がいなかったのですが、ガイドさんが頑張って話しかけてくれたりしてわからないながらに楽しく出来ました。
これからやる方がいれば、着替える場所がないのですぐ脱げるものを着ていった方がいいです。船の上での着替えになります!
そして、車酔い船酔い不安な方は酔い止め飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。自分達を含め5組ぐらいパラセイリングをやってるのを見るので結構しんどいです。
While my husband was playing golf, my 9-year-old daughter and I participated together. My daughter usually handles quite intense roller coasters well, but this one seemed to scare her, and she was shaking while we were flying. It was more thrilling than I expected, but I enjoyed it.
The pickup was on time, and the guide only spoke English, but they really tried to lift everyone's spirits, which was fun. Overall, I'm glad we participated.
夫がゴルフをしている間に9歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
いつもかなりハードなジェットコースターでも大丈夫な娘ですが、これは怖かったようで飛んでいるあいだ震えてました。予想よりも迫力がありましたが、私は楽しめましたよ。
お迎えも時間通り、ガイドさんは英語のみですが、みなさんの気分を盛り上げようとしてくださって楽しかったです。
結果、参加して良かったです。
I can't forget the view of Diamond Head when I climbed up to 150 meters. I was especially moved when I could clearly see a rainbow from the board.
150メートルまで昇った時の、ダイヤモンドヘッドが忘れられません。しかもボードから虹がはっきり見えた時は感動したしました。
I participated with my father and son. All three of us were filled with anxiety as it was our first time snorkeling. In the end, we felt that we couldn't have done it without the guide! We didn't even know how to put on the wetsuits, and once we got into the water, we struggled to put on our fins due to the waves and ended up stumbling a lot. During those times, we received help multiple times. Especially my father, who is 70 years old, needed support in some areas. He also mentioned that he couldn't have done it without the guide! We were desperately trying to keep up with everyone, but the underwater scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and it became the best memory of this trip! Thank you very much!
父と息子と私の三人で参加をさせて頂きました。
三人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でいっぱいでした。結果としてガイドさん無しでは出来なかったという感想です!ウェットスーツの着用の仕方から分からず、また海に入ってから波に押されなかなかフィンが履けなかったりよろけてしまったり。そんな時に何度も助けて頂きました。特に父は70歳という年齢もありついていけないところもサポートして下さいました。父もガイドさん無しでは無理だった!と話していました。皆さんについていくのが必死でしたが、、海の中は想像以上に素敵でこの旅の1番の思い出となりました!!ありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. During the afternoon tour that day, we experienced the highest tide, which made for some challenging conditions with waves, but your father did a great job and persevered until the end. I remember that your 6-year-old child also swam hard, riding on Mr. Dan's back like a little turtle. I'm truly happy to hear that it became the best memory of your trip. Please do come back with your family again. We are always here to assist you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日の午後ツアーの最中が一番の満ち潮と重なり、波もあり、ちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、お父様も最後まで頑張ってくださいました。確か6歳のお子様もダン先生の背中に子亀のように乗っかって頑張って泳いでくれた日でしたね。旅の一番の思い出になったとまでおっしゃっていただき、本当に嬉しく思います。是非またご家族皆様でリピートしてください。
いつでも皆様のお手伝いをさせていただきますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
The staff seemed to speak some Japanese, and although all the other customers were foreigners, they spoke to us in broken Japanese. They were also very good at getting everyone excited and creating a lively atmosphere on the boat. They took photos during the parasailing, which can be purchased for $30 on an SD card. The quality of the photos was just okay. The parasailing experience itself was less bumpy than I expected, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
スタッフの方は日本語は多少話せるようで、他のお客さんは全員外国の人でしたけど、私達に話してくれるときには片言の日本語で話してくれました。また、すごく盛り上げ上手で船内を盛り上げてくれました。パラセイリング中の写真も撮ってくれて、購入する場合は30ドルでSDカードにて渡されます。写真の出来はまあまあといったところです。パラセイリングの体験自体は思ったよりも揺れはなく、良い景色を味わいました。
It was a 120m experience with my 11-year-old daughter. The captain was very friendly, and my daughter, who was a bit nervous, really enjoyed it. Although the weather was cloudy and not great, the view of Waikiki from high up was truly refreshing. I want to try the 150m experience next time! The $30 SD card had a lot of photos on it, which will be great memories. I gave the captain a tip when we got off the boat.
11歳の娘と2人で120mの体験でした。キャプテンが大変気さくな方で緊張気味の娘もとても楽しんでいました。曇り空でお天気がイマイチでしたが高い空からのワイキキの眺めは本当に気持ちが良かったです♪
今度は150mで体験したいです^_^
30ドルのSDカードにはたくさんの写真が入っていて思い出になります。ボートを降りる時にキャプテンにチップを渡しました。
Crew was great!
Turtle spot was awesome, we got some great pics!
I participated in the premium Japanese guided tour from 10 AM with my 2-year-old child.
I had assumed the guide would be Japanese, but it turned out to be Jim, a tall Westerner who had previously lived in Japan and spoke very fluent Japanese. He was a gentleman with a kind personality, attentive to details, and very friendly towards children.
I joined this tour because I wanted to show my child the underwater world, so I didn't have high expectations for the tour itself based on the reviews. However, it was fun to see artificial reefs and sea turtles up close. I believe this was largely thanks to Jim's detailed explanations. As a licensed scuba diver, Jim had impressive knowledge, and his explanations were very thorough and enjoyable!
When I visit Hawaii next time, I definitely want to join this tour again, specifically hoping to have Jim as our guide. Thank you, Jim!
If you want to enjoy Jim's explanations on this tour, I recommend going down the stairs from the entrance on the right side when boarding the submarine to sit in the front row. You can also see the control seat and sit close to the guide, which is a great option!
10時〜のプレミアムの日本語ガイドツアーに2歳児を連れて参加しました。
てっきり日本人ガイドかと思いきや、ジムさんという長身の欧米人で、以前に日本に住まわれていた、とても上手な日本語を話される方でした。お人柄も紳士的で、細やかな気遣いをされる、子どもにも優しいとても素敵な方でした。
今回、子どもに海の中を見せてあげたく参加したので、口コミを見てツアー自体にはあまり期待はしていなかったのてすが、人工魚礁やウミガメを間近で見られて楽しかったです。それもやはりガイドのジムさんの細やかな解説のお陰かと思います。ジムさんはスキューバダイビングのライセンス保有者なので流石の知識量で、解説がとても細やかで楽しかったです!
次にハワイを訪れる際も、またこちらのツアーを是非ジムさん目当てで参加させて頂きたいと思います。ジムさん、ありがとうございました。
もし、このツアーでジムさんの解説を楽しみたいのであれば、潜水艦に乗り込むときに向かって右の入り口から階段を降りると先頭の席に座れます。操縦席も見られ、ガイドさんの近くに座れるのでオススメですよ☆
This tour is greatly enjoyed by my third-grade child. We booked the submarine tour here for the second time, following last year. The deciding factor was that they offered late boarding times. In Hawaii, there are plenty of activities, allowing you to schedule various tours in one day. On this day, we had a packed itinerary, enjoying snorkeling at Hanauma Bay after climbing Diamond Head for sunrise, followed by the submarine tour. As far as I searched, the only option for a 3 PM boarding reservation (confirmed the next day after the request) was through VELTRA, which allowed us to have a fulfilling day. The issuance of the reservation confirmation and the transportation service are comparable to other companies, so I highly recommend it. There is a Japanese audio guide available on board, so there’s no need to worry.
小3の子供が大変気に入っているツアーです。昨年に続き、2度目の潜水艇乗船をこちらで予約しました。決め手になったのは、遅い時間の乗船予約が可能だったからです。ハワイでは、アクティビティが充実しているので1日に様々なツアーを組むことができ、この日もダイヤモンドヘッド日の出登頂後にハナウマ湾でシュノーケルを楽しんだ後の潜水艇ツアーと盛り沢山な内容でした。検索した限り、15時の乗船予約(リクエスト後、翌日に確定)はVELTRAさんだけでしたので、おかげで充実した1日を過ごすことができました。予約確定書の発行や送迎も他社ツアーと遜色ないので大変オススメです。艇内ではイヤホンによる日本語ガイドがあるので特に心配不要です。
Just before leaving for our trip to Hawaii, my child suddenly expressed a desire to go parasailing! Since time was tight and I was unsure about being tied up for more than half a day, I decided to choose a nearby tour that seemed to have a good reputation.
I hurriedly made a reservation before our departure, but thanks to the detailed communication and arrangements from the staff, we were able to have a wonderful experience within our desired time and budget.
On the day of the tour, we walked to the tour company's ticket booth before the meeting time (it was a hotel we could walk to), handed over the documents, signed the consent form, and off we went on the boat to the sea. I think the ride lasted just over 10 minutes, but seeing Hawaii from above was an experience beyond my imagination.
The captain made the harness fitting process enjoyable with jokes, which made me feel at ease. Since the sun was quite strong that day, sunscreen is definitely a must depending on the weather. Also, the boat swayed quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication beforehand would be a good idea.
The captain was full of humor, and the hour flew by from departure to return. If I have the opportunity next time, I would love to experience it again.
ハワイ旅行の出国寸前に突然子供からパラセイルをしたい!との要望が。
時間も迫っていたのと、半日以上拘束されるのもどうかなと思ったので、なるべく近場で更に評判の良さそうなツアーを選んでみました。
出国前にバタバタと予約を入れましたが、担当者の方の細かな連絡と手配により希望の時間と予算で素晴らしい体験を出来ました。
当日は、集合時間前にツアー会社のチケットブースにテクテク歩いて行き(徒歩で行けるホテルだったので)、書類を渡され同意書にサインをしていざボートで海へ。
時間的には10分強程度だったと思いますが、上空から見るハワイの空は想像以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
ハーネスの着用も船長がジョークを交えながら行ってくれて安心でした。
当日は日射しも強かったので、日焼け止めは天候によっては必需品かと思います。それと船で結構ゆらゆらと揺れるので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が安心かと思います。
船長もユーモアたっぷりで、出港から帰港まであっという間の1時間でした。
次回も機会があれば、又体験したいと思います。
At 7 AM, we were picked up from the hotel and headed to Hanauma Bay, which has been selected as the No. 1 best beach. This shallow sea, formed from a collapsed volcanic crater, is teeming with fish. You can swim surprisingly close to them.
The reason for the early morning start is that the parking lot fills up quickly. Due to conservation efforts, the parking capacity is small, and once it reaches full capacity, the gates are closed. During this time before the summer vacation in Japan, there are fewer Japanese tourists, and many locals are present. Also, there are plenty of cats on the beach.
And guess what!! A large guest, a seal, was there. Previously, they could only be seen a few times a year, but now it seems they are visiting almost every day.
Chieko from Blue Hawaii Divers kindly explained how to use the snorkel, and as soon as I dipped my face into the water, I could see fish right in front of me at a depth where I could still stand. As I continued swimming among the schools of fish, I finally spotted a sea turtle. Since it was featured in the educational video about Hanauma Bay, I kept my distance and was able to swim alongside it.
早朝7時のホテルピックアップでNo.1ベストビーチにも選ばれたハナウマ湾に。元々火口だったところが落ち込んでできた遠浅の海に魚がいっぱい。
びっくりするくらい近くで泳ぐことがでできます。
朝がやたらと早い理由は駐車場がいっぱいになってしまうからだそう。
自然保護のためか駐車場のキャパシティーが小さいので、いっぱいになった時点でゲートを閉じてしまうそうです。
日本の学校の夏休み前のこの時期は日本人が少なく、地元の人がいっぱい。そしてビーチには猫もいっぱい。
そしてなんと!!大きな先客、アザラシ君が。
以前は年数回しか見られなかった彼らですが、今ならほぼ毎日と言っていいくらい訪れているみたいです。
ブルーハワイダイバーズのチエコさんが丁寧にシュノーケルの説明をしてくれ、軽く水面に顔をつけると足の着く深さにももうすぐ目の前に魚が。
魚群の中泳ぎ続けるとようやくウミガメが。
ハナウマ湾の教育ビデオにもあったので遠巻きにして、一緒に泳ぐことができました。
Thank you, Tama-chan, for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Although the pickup was early in the morning, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the seals, green sea turtles, and the cats. Recently, the seals Kecoa and Koro have been visiting the beach often, much to everyone's delight. The school of striped parrotfish was beautiful as well! We look forward to having you both join us for another tour. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
タマちゃん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。朝早いピックアップでしたが、アザラシ、アオウミガメ、猫達と楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです。本当に最近はアザラシのケコアとコロへがよくビーチに来てくれるので、皆様に喜んでいただいております。シマハギの群れも綺麗でしたね!是非またお二人でツアーにリピートしていただけるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I swam with about 10 participants and 2 instructors. The sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming felt really good. On that day, I was surprised to see a seal napping on the beach. I couldn't find a sea turtle right away, but I was glad to see one in the end. The sea turtles are cute, and even with people around, they swim gracefully, making it fun to swim alongside them. I probably wouldn't have been able to find them on my own. It's important to remember to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, as there may not be time to change.
10人くらいの参加者と2人のインストラクターで泳ぎました。海は綺麗で澄んでいて、ただ泳いでいるだけでとても気持ち良かったです。
この日は、なんとアザラシがビーチでお昼寝をしていて、びっくりしました。
海亀はすぐには見つかりませんでしたが、最後に見つかって良かったです。
海亀はかわいくて、人が周りにいても優雅に泳いでいるので、楽しく一緒に泳げました。
たぶん個人では絶対に見つけられなかったとおもいます。
水着は、服の下に着て行くのを忘れると、着替える時間がないので注意が必要です。
Dear Emi-chan, thank you for participating in the tour. On that day, there was quite a significant low tide, so I thought we might not be able to swim over the coral reef and that there might not be any sea turtles inside. However, we were very lucky to find them in the beautiful Sandman's Patch. It was great that you were able to swim with the sea turtles for a long time! You were truly a fortunate guest to also meet the seals!!
We would be delighted if you could join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
えみちゃん様、この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。この日はかなりの引き潮でしたのでサンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができず、ウミガメもインサイドにいないかもしれないなあと思っていましたが、とてもラッキーなことにサンドマンズパッチの綺麗なところで見つけることができました。ずっと一緒にウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て良かったですね!それにアザラシにも会えて本当に幸運なお客様です!!
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私たちのツアーにリピートしていただければ嬉しいです。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
My perspective on life has changed.
It's not scary at all.
Your viewpoint and stance will change.
There is a shuttle service, which makes it easy.
You take off your shoes and go barefoot. Your clothes will get wet.
When you land, your butt will briefly touch the water with a splash.
For changing, let's go with swimwear and shorts.
人生観が変わりました
全然怖く無いですよ
視点と視座が変わります。
送迎もあり楽です
靴は脱ぎ裸足
服濡れます
着地のさい 海に一旦お尻が ザブンとつかります

水着が 短パンで 行きましょう
We participated in a tour with my grandmother in her 70s and my 6-year-old daughter, spanning three generations. I was worried about my grandmother using the ladder to board the submarine, but she was able to get on and off without any issues. There was a Japanese-speaking guide, which allowed both my grandmother and daughter to enjoy the experience across a wide age range. My daughter wanted to see a stingray, and I wanted to see a sea turtle, and we were both very satisfied as our wishes came true.
70代の祖母、6歳の娘と3世代でツアーに参加。祖母が潜水艦に乗り込む際のタラップが不安でしたが問題なく乗り降りできました。日本語でのガイドもあり祖母も娘も幅広い年代で楽しむことができました。娘はエイ、私はウミガメを見たかったのですがそれぞれの願いが叶い大満足でした。
I was able to make effective use of my free time by waking up early and flying at a great deal! The location was also nearby, so there was no travel time involved. The service was friendly, which made me feel at ease. The weather wasn't great, but the breeze was very pleasant.
隙間時間を有効に使えるので早起きしてお得に飛べました!場所も近場なので移動時間もかかりません。
接客もフレンドリーで、安心できます。
天気はイマイチでしたが風がとても気持ちよかったです。
Great hike! No need for a guide. Start the hike early, beautiful views.
It was my first fishing trip in Hawaii. The catch was good, and the view from the sea was amazing. The only downside was that the equipment was not great.
ハワイでの初釣りでした。
釣果も良かったし海から見る景色も最高でした。唯一道具が悪いのが残念でした。
Above all, you can enjoy activities just beyond Waikiki Beach, and of course, you can see Diamond Head as well. The crew's humorous and friendly service was great. The mother at the reception, the father handling the transportation, and the family-like atmosphere made it safe and welcoming.
何といってもワイキキビーチのその先でアクティビティーが出来、もちろんダイヤモンドヘッドも見えるし、クルーの方々のユーモアあふれる対応が良かったです。受付のお母さん、送迎はお父さん、操縦はファミリーとアットホームで安全でした。
Beautiful hike. Tour guide Jody was informative. Bring repellent, I didn’t even realize I got a few bites! It can get messy if it rains, muddy shoes. There’s so many people, a tour guide is not really needed but the transportation there and back was nice. Also, this was my first hike and also my mother in laws, we did really well. Totally worth it. Lunch was also very good, first time trying vegan food, it was surprisingly filling.
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to spread the word about our Nature and You tour, which is still growing. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the hike and the vegan food! Mosquito repellent and shoes for muddy weather are great recommendations, as well. Thank you for remembering Jody! We will be sure to pass along this positive feedback to him. Safe travels and aloha!
This tour was simply AWESOME.
Pod of dolphins on arrival at the reef, initially 3 turtles, but shortly joined by another 2.
An experience of a lifetime and undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.
Crew were brilliant, friendly, helpful and 'down to earth' making it an overall experience well worth doing.
We signed up as a family of six, and my elderly mother joined us for the tour while five of us, including my two elementary school-aged sons, participated! With the support of our guide Chieko, even as a beginner, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many beautiful fish! We swam for about an hour, and my younger son, who is in lower elementary school, had to take a break and head back to the beach, but I was really glad we got to see the sea turtles before that.
Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, there's no need to worry about drowning; as long as you can breathe calmly through your mouth, you should be fine. There will be explanations during the preparation phase, but since we swim close to the rocky areas and the water temperature is lower in the morning, I think it's better for those who are concerned to rent a wetsuit.
I was tired, but I was truly satisfied to see the underwater world that I've only seen on TV. After the tour, my two sons immediately bought snorkeling sets at ABC Store. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.
家族6人で申し込み、1人年配の母は見学で小学生2人の息子を含む5名で参加しました!
ガイドのchiekoさんのサポートもあり、初心者私も含めてウミガメはもちろん、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました!
約1時間泳ぎっぱなしになるので低学年の次男は途中で浜辺へ引き上げましたが、その前にウミガメが見れて本当に良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても溺れる心配はなく、落ち着いて口呼吸さえできれば問題ないと思います。
準備段階で説明がありますが、岩場のすぐそばを泳ぐこと、午前中は水温も低めのため気になる方はウエットスーツをレンタルされた方が良いと思います。
疲れましたが、テレビ等でしか見たことのない海の中を実際に見れて本当に満足です。
息子2人はツアー終了後、早速ABCストアでシュノーケリングセットを購入しました。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。
Thank you, Papa, for bringing your whole family this time. I'm glad to hear that everyone enjoyed themselves; both Dan and I are very happy about it. On this day, as well as recently, Hawaiian monk seals have been coming to Hanauma Beach to take their naps quite often. It was really great to see the seals before snorkeling and to swim with the cute turtles in the ocean! Please do come back with your family again. We are always looking forward to your visit. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
なおパパ様、この度はご家族皆様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。皆様に楽しんでいただけたようで、私もダンも嬉しく思います。この日もそうですが、最近はハワイアンモンクシール(アザラシ)がよくお昼寝をしにハナウマのビーチに来てくれるようになりました。シュノーケリング前にアザラシを見て、海では可愛い亀さんと一緒に泳げて本当に良かったですね!!是非またご家族でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I participated at 120M. I had some anxiety before the pickup, but since all the participants were Japanese and the captain was friendly, I felt at ease! The boat goes fast and rocks quite a bit. When one group took off, the participants clapped and chatted, so by the time it was our turn to fly, my nerves had eased. I was worried until the day before because I have a fear of heights and thought I shouldn't have made the reservation... but once I actually flew, the fun outweighed the fear! It didn't feel that high; I couldn't even tell if the water was below us. If you're lucky, you can see planes flying close by. A few minutes go by in the blink of an eye. At the end, there’s a splashdown, so you will get wet. When being driven back, the car seat got wet, so it's better to bring a towel. I gave a $10 tip when getting off the boat. I also purchased the photo service for $30, and it was definitely worth it as a keepsake! I want to do parasailing again. I highly recommend this activity.
120Mで参加しました。ピックアップ前から不安がありましたが、参加者がみんな日本人だったのとキャプテンが気さくな方だったので安心して臨めました!
船はスピードが早く結構揺れます。
1組が飛ぶと参加者の方同士で拍手したり話したりしていたので自分達が飛ぶ頃には緊張がほぐれてました。高所恐怖症の為、やっぱり予約しなければよかった‥などと前日まで不安でしたがいざ飛んでみると恐怖よりも楽しさが!下が水面なのか?それほど高く感じませんでした。運が良ければ飛行機が間近で飛ぶのを見れます(^^)数分間があっという間です。最後は着水があるので濡れます。帰り送ってもらう時車のシートが濡れてしまうので、タオルは持って行った方が良いです。船から降りる時にはチップを10ドル渡しました。写真サービスも30ドルで購入しましたが、記念に購入しておいて正解です!!パラセーリングまたやりたいです。おすすめのアクティビティです。
The day after arriving in Honolulu, I eagerly participated, but surprisingly, there were few fish, and it ended up being just a view of a decaying sunken ship and a fighter plane. I was a bit disappointed...
ホノルル到着の翌日、期待して参加しましたが、意外にも魚が少なく朽ち果てた沈没船や戦闘機を眺めるだけで終わってしまった。ちょっとがっかり、、、
I had my two children take one-on-one lessons. Both the staff and surfers were friendly. My kids were able to stand up during the lesson and have developed a liking for surfing. I think the most challenging part of surfing is paddling, but the surfers pull you back out to the ocean after riding the waves, making it easier to focus solely on surfing. They don't help adults much with paddling, though! I will definitely use this service again when I go to Hawaii.
子供二人を
マンツーマンのレッスンを受けさせました。
スタッフ、サーファーともにフレンドリー。

I had an incredibly fun experience with the activities. I thought the meeting time was until 8:30, but people started gathering around that time. I had read in reviews that there were hardly any Japanese people here, but that you could manage even without speaking English. However, there were a few groups of Japanese people besides myself, and there were also some groups speaking English, so I asked them to help translate.
When it was time, the woman at the reception said, "Follow me!" and guided us to board the Holokai Catamaran. It turns out you have to be barefoot on the yacht. Also, since boarding is from the beach and not the dock, if you wear pants that shouldn’t get wet, you will almost certainly get wet when boarding. I recommend changing into your swimsuit at this point.
I was able to see two sea turtles, a mother and her baby. They came up to the surface several times, but I missed seeing them. When the sea turtles are spotted, the divers will say, "Come on!!" so you will almost certainly encounter them. Other tour groups were also at the same spot. It was stated that fins were available for a fee, but everyone was given them for free. I wonder if that has changed?
After snorkeling, we enjoyed sailing with the sails catching plenty of wind. The outboard motor was lifted, so it was completely sail-powered. We sailed close to Diamond Head. During sailing, snacks were free, but drinks were for purchase. I felt a bit seasick from the waves while snorkeling, and since the boat was still rocking during sailing, I thought I would get seasick again. However, while chatting with the group that helped translate, I didn’t feel seasick at all. Interestingly, the locals were drinking beer and alcohol quite freely. I wonder how they don’t get seasick...
Especially after snorkeling, the sailing was refreshing and felt great. If you’re not worried about seasickness, I think enjoying a beer would be the best.
I thoroughly enjoyed both snorkeling and sailing.
最高に楽しいアクティビティが体験できました。
集合は、8:30までかと思ったら、8:30になったらパラパラと人が集まってきた感じでした。
ここの体験談で、日本人がほぼ皆無だが、英語ができなくてもなんとかなるというのを見ていたのですが、私以外にも何組か日本人のグループがおり、英語を話していたグループの方もいたので、その人達に声をかけ通訳の代わりをしてもらいました。
時間になったら受付の女性の方が「Follow me!」と言って乗船するホロカイ・カタマラン号まで案内してくれました。
ヨットの中では裸足でないと駄目だそうです。
そして乗船は桟橋ではなく砂浜からなので、濡れては行けないズボンを履いていくと乗るときにほぼ確実に濡れます。
この時点で脱いで水着になっておくことをお薦めします。
ウミガメは2匹の親子が見れました。
何度か水面に上がってきたそうですが、自分は見そびれました。
ウミガメが見えたらダイバーの方が「Come on!!」って教えてくれますので、ほぼ確実にウミガメに出会えるでしょう。
そして、他のツアーのグループも同じポイントにいました。
フィン(足ヒレ)は有料と書いてありましたが、全員無料で貸してくれました。変わったのかな?
シュノーケリングのあとは、帆にいっぱい風を受けてセーリング。
船外機は引き上げられているので、完全に無動力です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまでセーリングしてくれました。
セーリング中は、スナック菓子はFree。ドリンクは有料。
シュノーケリング中に波に乗って若干船酔い気味で、セーリング中も揺れているのでこのままでは船酔いすると思い、波風に当たりながら、通訳をしてくれたグループの方々と喋っていたら、船酔いは全くしなかったです。
その点、現地人であろう方々は、ビールや酒をガブガブ飲んでいました。
酔わないんだろうか・・・。
特にシュノーケリングの後のセーリングは、シュノーケリングの疲れを癒やしてくれて気持ちよかったです。
船酔いが心配なければ、ビールも飲めて最高だったと思います。
シュノーケリングとセーリング、どちらも十分に楽しめました。
I participated in the 150m tour. There were a total of 8 participants on the boat, and everyone except us was foreign. The tour was conducted entirely in English, but the atmosphere made it manageable. Those who struggle with English might find it difficult.
The scenery during the parasailing was very beautiful. However, at 150m above the ground, we were hit by heavy rain and strong winds, which caused significant turbulence. It was quite scary. On the other hand, the rain created a rainbow, and I had the rare experience of looking down at a rainbow.
Since the actual flying time isn't very long, the cost-performance ratio might not be very good.
150mに参加しました。
船に乗ったのは、ツアー参加者は計8人で、私たち以外は外人の方でした。
ツアーは、終始英語で進行しますが、雰囲気でなんとかなります。辛い人は辛いと思います。
実際のパラセーリングでは、景色がとても綺麗でした。
しかし、150m上空で、大雨と強風に見舞われ、相当に揺れるというトラブルもありました。結構怖かったです。
一方で、雨によって虹が発生し、虹を下に見下ろすという貴重な体験ができました。
実際に飛んでいる時間はあまり長くない為、コスパはあまり良くないかも知れません。
I was worried because I don't have a high income, but I was able to go up without feeling scared, and I enjoyed the best feeling! Before and after parasailing, I was taken by a boat, but the waves were quite rough and intense, so I got seasick! Also, if you wish, they will take photos for you, but it's $30 for cash and $35 for credit, so it's better to bring some cash, including tips.
高い所得意でないので、やらまで不安でしたが、怖がる間も無く上に上がっていけるので、最高の気分を楽しめました!
パラセイリングする前後に花で連れて行ってもらうのですが、そちらが結構波が荒く激しいので、船酔いしました!
あと、希望すれば写真を撮る撮ってくれるのですが、現金だと30ドルでクレジットだと35ドルなので、現金は、チップも含めてある程度持って行った方が良いです。
