For the first time, I went paragliding at 150 meters! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
The staff's upbeat energy got me super excited, and off we went! The sensation of rising higher and higher was pure fun. Once we reached the top, it felt amazing to just float without being buffeted by the wind. The view of Waikiki was breathtaking! ( *¯ ³¯*)
If I had to mention one thing, the photos turned out dark due to backlighting, so next time I’ll definitely try in the afternoon!
*They advise not to bring valuables, but if you want to get images on an SD card, it costs $30, so you'll need to tip plus the $30.* (o^▽^o)

150mで初のﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞ‎‎‎٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
StaffのノリノリなﾃﾝｼｮﾝにわくわくがMaxになりいざ出発！！ぐんぐん上がる感覚は楽しいそのもの。上がりきると風にあおられることもなく、ただふわふわと浮いてる感じで最高でした！！ﾜｲｷｷを一望出来るさまは圧巻‎( *¯ ³¯*)
しいていえば、逆光で出来上がりの写真が暗かったので、次回は是非午後に挑戦します！！
※貴重品は持たないようにとありますが、SDｶｰﾄﾞで画像をもらう場合は＄30かかりますので、ﾁｯﾌﾟ+＄30が必要になります‎(o^▽^o)

This event provided insight into a variety of cultural dancing all in one sitting. It was incredible to hear the stories and rich history of the people today and in the past. The MC engaged the audience. The buffet was a great spread for people with food preferences and allergies. It provided great value for the money spent. Only wish was having the opportunity to experience this outdoors. It would have been much more of an experience.

I participated with my 7-year-old child. At the movie filming locations, the Japanese-speaking driver provided fun explanations while we toured the sites. The scenery was wonderful. Since I had only been around Waikiki before, I realized once again that this is also Hawaii.

It started to rain, and we wore raincoats. The jungle exploration was entirely in English. Unfortunately, my English isn't great, so I couldn't understand the explanations, but my child said this was the most fun part. It seemed like they enjoyed the bumpy ride.

The other activity also had explanations in Japanese after the English ones, which made me feel at ease participating. My child seemed to tire out and was a bit less energetic. Overall, everywhere you looked, there were magnificent and wild views, and it was a lot of fun.

7歳の子どもと参加しました。
映画ロケ地では日本語のドライバーさんが楽しく説明しながらロケ地めぐり。そしてその風景は素晴らしかったです。これまでワイキキ周辺しか行ったことがなかったので、これもハワイなんだなと改めて認識しました。
途中雨が降ってきてカッパ？を着ながら。
ジャングル探検はオール英語でした。残念ながら英語がダメなので説明がわかりませんでしたが、子どもはここが一番楽しかったと言ってました。車が揺れるのが良かったようです。
もう一つのアクティビティも英語の後に日本語で説明があり、安心して参加しました。子どもは疲れたのかトーンダウンしていましたが。
全体的にどこを切り取っても雄大な景色でワイルドで、楽しかったです。

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but it was fun! There were no other Japanese people among the guests I rode with, but everyone was nice and talked to me a lot. I chose the 150-meter option, and the parasailing itself was refreshing and great, but it took quite a long time to get to the spot on the boat, and the boat was rocking a lot, which was scarier.

初めてのパラセイリングで緊張しましたが、楽しかったです！一緒に乗ったお客さんの中に日本人は誰もいなかったですが、いい人ばかりでみんなたくさん話かけてくれました。150メートルを選んで、パラセイリング自体は爽快でよかったのですが、そのスポットに行くまでけっこう長い時間ボートに乗って、そのボートがめちゃくちゃ揺れてそっちの方が怖かったです。

"I want to swim if I go to Hawaii!" After receiving this request, I was looking for a tour that my mother (66 years old) could join. I was about to give up due to the age restriction (only up to 65 years old) when I found this tour.

This tour alleviated all my concerns (transportation, managing valuables, where to swim to avoid fatigue, snorkeling instructions, etc.). The transportation to the hotel eased my worries about meeting up on the way there, and it was appreciated on the way back since we were tired.

Swimming was made easier with life jackets, allowing us to float even in deep water. By swimming with the current, we could conserve our energy. Even if you don't know how to use the equipment, our guide Dan explained everything in simple Japanese.

Depending on the weather and climate, it might be better to rent a wetsuit. I swam on January 31, 2020. The weather was cloudy, and the seawater was cold (not freezing, but it felt "cold... If the weather was nice, it would feel good"). I wore a rash guard over my swimsuit and shorts. Towards the end of the swim, I felt cold. I bought the rash guard locally for about $50. My mother wore a full rash guard as well, but she still said, "It feels a bit chilly towards the end." It was a good decision to bring a bath towel borrowed from the hotel.

Things I was glad I brought from Japan included candy and powdered Pocari Sweat, which I mixed with water. I wished I had brought hot water on the day.

Seeing the photos and comments in the reviews here helped me know what to prepare in advance, so I wrote this as a way to give back! I hope it helps someone!

「ハワイに行くなら泳ぎたい！」のリクエストを受け、母（66歳）でも参加できるツアーを探していました。年齢制限（65歳まで参加可）に引っかかり、諦めかけていたところに、このツアーを見つけました。
このツアーは、持っていた不安（送迎、貴重品管理、どこから泳ぐと疲れにくい、シュノーケリングのレクチャー等）をすべて解消してくれました。
ホテルまでの送迎は、行きは合流ができるか不安だったのを払拭し、帰りは疲れてるのでありがたかったです。
泳ぐのも、ライフジャケットがあるので、足のつかないところでも浮かんでいられるので、助かりました。
海の流れに逆らわないで泳ぐので体力が続きます。
使い方が分からなくても、ガイドのDanさんが日本語で簡単に説明してくれました。

天候や気候によっては、ウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかも知れないです。
私が泳いだのは、2020年1月31日。
天候は曇りでした。
海水は、冷たかったです。（水風呂まではいかないけど、「冷たい…。…お天気なら、気持ちよさそう」な体感でした。）
服装は、水着の上からラッシュガードを着て、下は短パンを履いていました。
泳いでいる最後の方は、寒く感じました。
ラッシュガードは、現地で$50くらいで買いました。
母は上下ラッシュガード着てました。
それでも、「最後の方は肌寒いなぁ」って言ってました。
ホテルで借りたバスタオルを持って行って正解でした。

日本から持って行って良かったものは、飴、ポカリスエットの粉。水に溶かして持って行きました。
当日持って行ったら良かったと思ったものは、白湯でした。

ここの口コミの写真や文章を見て、事前に準備するものが知れたので、恩返しで書きました！
誰かの役に立つといいなぁ〜

The view was amazing! I thought I might get wet in the sea at the end, but it was just my toes, which was fine! I was very satisfied to see dolphins too!

眺め最高でした！
最後海で濡れるかなと思いましたが足先だけで良かったです！
イルカも見れて大満足でした！

I thought we would be flying on something like a chair, but it was just a rope, which was scary at first, but it was safe. Since there were six groups sharing the ride, the waiting time was long, which is a downside, but the breeze felt nice and it was a good experience. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential because the boat moves quite a bit.

椅子の様なものに乗って飛ぶのかと思ったら、紐だけで最初は怖かったが安全でした。
6組が乗り合わせだったので、待つ時間が長いのが欠点ですが風が気持ちよくて良い体験でした。
かなり、船の移動が揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。

Experience 150 meters!
The view is amazing, and it's not scary at all! Looking down is a little scary, though... (laughs)
We were flying in the sky for about 5 minutes!!
It was fun!

Since there were four other groups with us, we spent quite a bit of time on the boat. I recommend taking motion sickness medication! The boat ride felt like a kind of attraction, and I enjoyed it!

150mを体験！
とても眺めがよくて、全然怖くありません！下を見れば少しだけ怖いけど…(笑)
5分くらい空を飛んでます！！
楽しかったです！

私たちの他に4組の方と一緒だったので、ボートに乗ってる時間の方が結構長いです。酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします！ボートも一種のアトラクションのようで私は楽しかったです！

I tried parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. It was so much fun flying over the beautiful ocean. However, I think it's essential for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

ハワイで初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。綺麗な海の上を飛べて、とても楽しかったです。ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めが必須だと思います。

Chieko is the best! We had the best snorkeling tour.

I think the show itself was enjoyable, so that was good! However, the meal was a bit different from what I had signed up for, which was a little disappointing! I believe crab was supposed to be included... The directions were unclear! I think it could have been prevented with some arrows!

ショー自体は楽しめたので良かったと思います!
食事は申し込んだ時とは少し違いがあったのでちょっとガッカリしました！カニが予定ではあったはずだったのですが…
案内が分かりにくかったです！矢印でも有れば防げたと思います!

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.

VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

It was great. The dancing was awesome and the food was great. One of the best Luau's I've been to.

It was great. Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Was hoping to see a Whale, but they were gone on the day we went.

It was a great experience. Saw lots of fish and a Sea Turtle.

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.

We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.

If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.

One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

ピックアップ場所で受付後 本日のアクティビティの時間と順番を記入された紙と手首に 色の着いたテープ巻かれバスで移動 当日は参加者多かったのか バス2台でした。海岸沿いに走りながらノースショア方向へ 約70分 牧草地帯が 左に見えてきたら クアロアランチの看板が 牧草には 牛 牛 牛そして 馬に乗ったカーボーイが 期待一気に高まります。ゲストセンターの前でウクレレ演奏するスタッフに迎えられ 各アクティビティの集合場所の説明受ける。あとは各個人が 選んだコース参加します。食事は簡単なバイキング

We were greeted on arrival with some traditional Hawaiian Lei's and a photo with two of the show stars. We had a free drink on arrival and then sat down to get ready for the show. The people on the table were chatty and friendly. We were lucky to be the first table up for the buffet which was incredible, so much choice of food! The show started and was absolutely amazing, ending with a fire show! The rooftop view whilst the sun was going down was perfect and typical Hawaiian paradise. Absolutely loved it!

Since 9 AM and 10 AM were fully booked, I requested the earliest slot at 8 AM! As a result, there were only a few people (including us, 5 in total), so we could enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace! The person who picked us up and all the staff were very friendly and nice, and it was totally fine even if you can't speak English! (It's good to have tips for both parties.) The staff took photos for us, but it costs money, so we took pictures with other Japanese participants and shared them via Airdrop! Parasailing was truly amazing; I was hesitant until the last minute, but I'm really glad I did it! The view from 150 meters up is fantastic! I want to do it again when I go to Hawaii!

9時、10時がいっぱいだったので朝一の8時からお願いしました！結果人数少なくて(自分たちを含め5人)ゆっくりと体験できました！送迎してくれる人、スタッフの人みんな気さくでとても良い方ばかりで英語が話せなくても全然大丈夫でした！(どちら方にもチップはあった方がいいです)写真はスタッフの方が撮ってくれますがお金が掛かるので日本人の参加者の方と撮り合いAirdropで送り合いました！パラセーリングは本当に最高で直前までやるか悩んでいましたがやってよかったと本当に思います！しかも150m上から見る景色は最高です！またハワイに行ったらやりたいです！

We went as a family of five, and we were divided into two groups of three and two. My parents and I talked about how this is definitely something you should do!!! The view is amazing, and the coolness of flying in the heat is the best! While waiting for my turn, the staff kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. They were very kind, and it was the best memory!

家族5人で行き、3人と2人で対応させてもらいました。
両親と飛んだ時にこれは絶対やるべき！！！と話していました(笑)景色も最高ですし暑い中飛ぶ涼しさは最高です！自分の番を待っている間もスタッフの方が盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
親切にしていただき最高の思い出です！

The service was good, and the guide was knowledgeable, but it was necessary to be careful as there was light rain, making the ground muddy and slippery.

サービスはよくガイド担当者も博学で問題ないですが、小雨が降り足下がぬかるみ滑りやすいので注意が必要でした。

Since I was with a small child, they were already happy just to see lots of little fish, but they were even more delighted to see several sea turtles! ✨

小さい子供と一緒だったので、小さい魚がいっぱいいるだけで喜んでいたのですが、海ガメが何匹も見れてさらに大喜びでした✨

I flew with a 7-year-old boy. Although we didn't weigh a combined 80 kilograms, they carried out the activity without any issues or questions. The child seemed to have a lot of fun, even though he was a bit scared. Be sure to prepare a tip of $10 or $20 to give at the end!

7歳の男の子と一緒に飛びました。二人合わせて80キロではありませんでしたが、特に聞かれることもなく問題なく実施してくれました。
子どもは怖がりながらもとても楽しかったようです。チップを10ドルか20ドルを最後に渡すので、用意しておきましょう！

Since it was a great opportunity, I decided to challenge myself at 150 meters!
With the sunny weather continuing and no wind, the view from above was an indescribable blue ocean and blue sky.
Just being blessed with good weather felt incredibly lucky!
I can understand why it's safe for even the elderly, as there’s no strain on the body! It felt like I was a bird♪
The crew members were also very friendly, and it’s definitely worth doing!

せっかくなので150メートルでチャレンジ！
晴れの日が続き、風もなく上から見る景色は例えようのないブルーオーシャン、ブルースカイ。
お天気に恵まれただけでもとってもラッキー！
体にかかる負担もなく、お年寄りでも安全にできるのはわかる気がします！鳥になった気分です♪
クルーの方々もとってもフレンドリーで、絶対にやる価値あります！

When the submarine dives, it becomes stable and comfortable. There were many fish around the coral reefs and sunken ships, which was enjoyable. Above all, I was thrilled when a sea turtle swam right in front of me—there were several of them! I think this is an experience you can't have often, so I recommend trying it at least once.

潜水艦が潜航すると揺れなくなるので快適です。
魚しょうや沈没船の周りには、多くの魚がいて楽しかったです。なんと言っても突然目の前でホヌが泳いできたのは、感激しました。それも、何匹も。なかなか経験できないと思うので一度体験しましょう。

"We got no troubles, life is the bubbles, under the sea!" It was inevitable that "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid would be playing through my head on this tour. I've always been fascinated by ocean life and would love to someday learn how to scuba dive...but until then, this submarine tour is the perfect--and only--way to explore the world under the sea.
The shuttle out to the dive site not only provided great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, but also gave us the chance to see exactly where we'd be descending and what part of the bay we'd be exploring.
I've actually done this tour twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. On both tours we saw sea turtles, star fish, and tons of fish in various shapes, sizes, and colors. During the second tour we also got the chance to see two scuba divers exploring one of the sunken ships.
The crew were all very friendly and knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting facts and details about what we were seeing.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing a completely different world, so unlike what we see every day on land. Take Sabastian's advice and go "under the sea!"

I had always wanted to surf, but both my friend and I were a bit anxious, so we hesitated to make a reservation. To sum up our experience, we both had a great time. The instructors were very kind and funny, and I’m glad we took the surfing lessons here! Once we grasped the important points, we were able to stand on the board, which was satisfying. The instructors repeatedly emphasized the key points. If you're unsure, you should definitely take lessons here!

ずっとサーフィンがしたかったけれど、私も友達も不安で、予約を少し渋りました。感想から言うと、2人とも凄く楽しめました。インストラクターの方々がとても優しくて面白くて、ここのサーフィンレッスンを受けれて良かったです！
大事なことを抑えるとボードに立てる事ができ、満足しました。大事なことは何度もインストラクターの方が言ってくれました。
迷ったらここのレッスンを受けるべきです！

- The boat will sway.
- It's better to wear a swimsuit.
- It's a good idea to bring drinks like water.
- Sunscreen is also essential.

The staff members were nice, and I was able to enjoy myself without any worries!

・船は揺れます
・水着のほうが良い
・水など飲み物は持っていたほうが良い
・日焼け止めも必須

◎スタッフの方々も良い人たちで、心置きなく楽しめました！

I joined on Friday because I wanted to see Manoa Falls, but the path was muddier than I imagined, and my shoes got covered in mud. Haha! The guide said they had never seen such a condition before! It turned out to be a great memory. The organic lunch was very delicious, and we ate it in a park with a view of Diamond Head!

マノアの滝を見たくて金曜日に参加しましたが、道中が想像以上に泥道で、靴が泥だらけになりました。笑
ガイドの方もこの状態は見たことない！というくらい凄い道で、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
オーガニックランチはとても美味しく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの見える公園で食べました！
