Waikiki
I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. The pick-up and drop-off were on time, which was reassuring. We quickly ascended into the sky and arrived in no time. It was very calm and stable, but I was a little scared... My daughter was having a blast, swinging around! She seemed to enjoy it so much that she kept saying she wanted to do it again. I ended up buying the photo data because I wanted to have those memories, and I think $30 is a reasonable price for that.
The water splash was only up to my waist, so a bath towel wasn't necessary.
8歳の娘と参加しました。
送迎も時間通りで安心しました。
上空には一気に上がりあっという間に到着。
とても穏やかで安定していましたが、私は少し怖かったです…
娘はブランコ状態で大はしゃぎ!!
かなり楽しかったみたいで、もう一回と言い続けていました。
写真データもやっぱり欲しくなり買いましたが、思い出になるので30ドルならお安いかと思います。
海ポチャも濡れて腰くらいまでなので、バスタオルは必要なかったです。
Incredible experience with an amazing pair running the show. I’d definitely recommend it and definitely do it again.
First of all, the reception staff, the captain, and the crew were all cheerful and made it a fun experience! Everyone except for us Japanese was foreign (two couples and three women), but we managed to have a friendly atmosphere in a sort of casual English.
We participated as two adults, a 9th-grade boy, a 6th-grade girl, and a 1st-grade girl, and we split into two groups: my wife with the middle schooler, and me with the two daughters, heading up into the sky. The feeling of lifting off from that boat was special.
Up in the air, it was a strange sensation where all you could hear was the sound of the wind, and we could see everything from Diamond Head to Waikiki Beach. The crew took various photos for us, which they sell on an SD card for $30. Some people were taking their own pictures, but we decided against it due to the risk of dropping our phones in the air and the potential for them to get wet during the final splashdown.
I gave a $20 tip, and they were very happy to receive it. The ride lasted about an hour, and my son, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit queasy, but he managed to be okay. It was a lot of fun!
まず第一に受付さんから、キャプテン(船長さん)、クルー(船員さん)が明るく楽しくしてくれます!
私たち日本人以外は全て外国人(カップル2組、女子3人)でしたが、何となくのノリ英語で和気あいあいな感じでした。
大人2人、中学3年生(男)、小学6年生(女)、小学1年生(女)で参加しましたが、家内+中学生、私と娘2人に別れて上空へ。
あの船から浮き上がる?飛び立つ?感覚は特別でした。
上空は風の音しか聞こえない何とも不思議な感覚で、ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキビーチ全て見渡せました。
写真はクルーの方が色々と撮ってくれて、SDカードで販売してくれます。(30ドル)
自分達で撮ってる方もいましたが、上空で落とすリスクと最後の海ポチャ?の時の水没を、考えてスマホはなしにしました。
チップは20ドルお渡ししました!大変喜んでもらえました。
1時間程の乗船ですので、船酔いしやすい息子が少し気持ち悪くなりつつありましたが、何とか大丈夫でした。
大変楽しかったです!
I requested a private lesson for my 7-year-old child's first surfing experience. The instructor didn't seem unmotivated, but I got the impression that they were just meeting the minimum requirements. My child seemed to have fun, though.
7歳のこどもの初サーフィンで、プライベートレッスンをお願いしました。インストラクターは、やる気がないとは言いませんが、最低限のノルマをこなしているという印象でした。こどもは楽しかったようです。
I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.
It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.
これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。
日本人だらけのワイキキにしては珍しく、我家以外に日本人の参加者やスタッフがおらず、その雰囲気がとても新鮮でした。
The weather was great, and I was able to participate without feeling seasick at all. The boat itself, heading out into the vast ocean, was also enjoyable. The driver and the crew were very cheerful, which lifted everyone's spirits.
My children (ages 9 and 13) were a bit scared at first since it was their first experience, but they quickly got used to it and had fun once we were flying in the sky. The scenery was also very beautiful. It became a wonderful memory of our trip to Hawaii.
天気が良く、船に全く酔うことなく参加できました。
大海原に繰り出す船自体も楽しかったです。送迎のドライバーも船員も大変陽気な方々でテンションがあがりました。
子供(9歳と13歳)達は、始めての体験に少々怖がっていましたが、空を飛ぶとですぐに慣れて楽しんでました。景色も大変良かったです。ハワイ旅行のいい思い出になりました。
I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.
Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.
For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.
The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.
When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).
At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.
I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!
The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.
There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.
こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)
ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました!(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。
途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね!と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)
最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。
そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑
飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。
小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。
As mentioned in the initial notes, taking motion sickness medication was definitely the right choice. The boat can hold about ten people and goes quite far out. You’re on the boat for a while until it’s your turn, so it rocks quite a bit and the waves are intense. Watching the people in front put on parachutes and fly into the sky is… a bit scary. They soar away like kites at an incredible speed.
However, once you muster the courage to jump, there’s no fear at all, and you get swept away into the world of the sky! The view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, numerous hotels, and the endlessly expanding blue sky and emerald green sea is just amazing! The swaying feels like being on a swing, gently rocking, but the captain’s driving technique makes it quite dynamic. Since we were relatively young, we were tossed around quite a bit. Other young couples were also getting a good shake. It was really fun, and everyone who participated was super excited! It felt great to share that sense of unity.
For some reason, there was a conspicuous display of tips from the previous guests inside the boat… which was a bit disappointing, but I thought it was okay. Maybe I just didn’t understand, and it could be the norm.
When we returned to the harbor, they asked if we wanted to buy the SD card with the photos. It’s difficult to take pictures yourself while flying until you stabilize, so I thought purchasing it might be a good idea. The SD card was $30. We decided to buy it since we had such great memories, but some others chose not to.
Overall, it’s a lot of fun, and you really get to feel like a bird. If you love swings, you should definitely try it!
最初に注意書きにあった通り、酔い止めを飲んで正解でした。ボートは10人くらい乗れるタイプで、結構沖まで行きます。順番がくるまではずっとボートなので、かなり揺れますし波が凄いです。前の方がパラシュートを装着して空に飛んで行くのは…ちょっと怖いです…。すっごい勢いで凧のように飛んでいきます。
でも覚悟を決め飛ぶと、恐怖なんて全くなく、空の世界に吸い込まれて行きます!目の前に広がるダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチ、沢山のホテル、そしてどこまでも広がる青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海、最高です!揺れ具合はブランコのようで、ゆらゆら揺れますが、船長さんのドライビングテクニックで沢山動かされます。私たちは比較的若い方だったので結構揺らされました。他の若いカップルもガンガンやられてました。それもかなり面白く、一緒に参加した方たちも大盛り上がり!一体感があってよかったです。
船にの中に何故かわざとらしく前の人のチップが飾ってあり…ちょっと残念だったのでよかったにしました。でも私がわかってないだけで、相場くらいなのかもしれません。
港に戻ると写真のSDカード購入希望を聞かれます。飛んでる最中は安定するまで自分で写真を撮るのは難しいので、購入ありかなと思いました。SDカードは30ドルでした。私たちはいい思い出だったので購入することにしましたが、他の方は何人か購入されませんでした。
とにかく面白いですし、鳥になった感じを味わえます。ブランコ好きな方は是非!
It's amazing. The unique crew is fun. It's English-only, but I was able to understand through gestures, which added to the atmosphere and was great.
最高です。ユニークなクルーで楽しいです。英語オンリーですが、ジェスチャーで理解でき、そこがまた雰囲気あって良かったです。
Everything was perfect from check in to the end of the trip. Guides are awesome, really helpful and made us feel like rock stars!
Mahalo, Bill, for the generous 5 star review! We hope that you will be back again soon! Aloha!
I attended with my colleagues on August 15. We had diamond seats, but we arrived a bit late, so we had to wait in line for a little while, but we really enjoyed the show. The food had limited options and wasn't very tasty, but the show was truly great. The male dancers were quite impressive, and each of them did something secretly funny, which kept us laughing the whole time. The female dancers were also very lovely, and it seemed like the men from our company were quite captivated (laughs). I would like to go again, but since the food was lackluster, next time I want to just watch the show.
8月15日に会社の仲間と参加しました。ダイヤモンドシートですが少し遅れたのでこれまた少し並びましたがショーは楽しめました。
食事は種類も少なく、あまり美味しくなかったですが、ショーが本当に良かったです。男性のダンサーはかなり迫力あるし、各々がこっそり面白い事をしてくれるし終始笑っていられました。女性のダンサーもとても素敵で会社の男性陣はかなり魅了されてたようでした(笑)
また行きたいですが、食事がイマイチなので次はショーだけを見たりしたいです。
The shuttle service was very smooth, and I challenged myself with my 8-year-old daughter for 150 meters! It became the best memory! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii.
送迎もとてもスムーズで8歳の娘と150メートル挑戦しました!最高の思い出となりました!またハワイ来たらやりたいです。
I had to wait quite a long time to exchange my tickets. However, there was a slight sense of superiority as only those with Diamond Seats were allowed to enter at the last moment.
Benefits of the Diamond Seats:
The central front row is indeed central, but the show also faces the sides, so I didn't feel much of an advantage. They say dinner is prioritized, but those without Diamond Seats were the first to be ushered in for meals, and the staff said nothing about it. The crowd was mostly from Southeast Asia. The food was also mediocre.
For just the show, the price of the Diamond Seats seems a bit excessive.
チケット交換にかなりの時間並ばされました。しかしギリギリでダイヤモンドシートだけが優先に入場出来るタイミングで少しの優越感。
ダイヤモンドシートのメリット
中央前列、確かに中央だけどショーはサイドにも向いてやるのでメリットを感じない
ディナーも優先と言ってるがダイヤモンドシート以外が最初に食事に流れこむがスタッフは何も言わず。流れこむのは東南アジア
食事もイマイチ
ショーだけにダイヤモンドシートの料金は勿体無いかな
The boat ride was enjoyable thanks to the cheerful staff. They also take great photos, which is fantastic. If you want the photos, it costs money, so it's good to bring some. It's at your own risk, but you can experience the ride while holding a GoPro or your phone. I was nervous, but thanks to the friendly and attentive staff, I had an amazing time. There was also a local female staff member who spoke Japanese. She doesn't board the boat but is in the hut, so the procedures are安心. Overall, you can leave everything to them and enjoy in elegance, which was truly wonderful!
移動の船の上も、陽気なスタッフさんのおかげで楽しい。写真もしっかり撮ってくれるし最高です。写真が欲しかったらお金がかかるので持ってくとよし。自己責任ですがゴープロや携帯を持ちながらの体験が可能です。緊張しましたが陽気で丁寧なスタッフさんのおかげで最高な時間を過ごせました。日本語を話せる現地女性のスタッフもいらっしゃいました。その方は船には乗りませんが小屋にいるので手続きなど安心。とにかく全てを任せて優雅に楽しめるのでほんとに最高でした!
This was amazing, I would recommend it to everyone who wants to snorkel with turtles. Not to mention the crew was amazing and very funny. Then we sailed to try to see dolphins and other marine life.
The catamaran was amazing. One of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The crew were very friendly and seeing the turtles was amazing. Definitely a must do if we ever come back to Hawaii I will do it again
It was so much fun! The crew was very kind! Once we got out to sea, it was quite rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication! We gave a $20 tip for the two of us!
とっても楽しかったですー!船の人も優しい!沖に出て、結構揺れるので、酔い止め服用をおすすめします!チップは二人で20ドル渡しました!
The cheerful staff made it a fun experience. It was great that they could understand a little Japanese too. The shuttle service was very smooth and arrived on time. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try parasailing!
陽気なスタッフさんで楽しかったです。
少し日本語も通じるので良かったです^_^
送迎もとてもスムーズで時間通りにきていただきました^_^またいく機会があったらパラセーリングしたいと思います^_^
I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!
午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる2時間半のツアーは最高でした!時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます!他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます!
I was worried about the weather, but everything went smoothly. Our group consisted of four family members, another family of four, and a couple. Everyone was Japanese. Swimwear is recommended. Towards the end, there was a service where you get splashed, so you will get wet. I wore aqua shoes so that my footwear wouldn't get wet, but I was told to take them off when jumping. I personally think flip-flops would be fine as long as you are careful not to slip when boarding. If you're worried, wear non-slip shoes. I took photos from above with my own camera and also purchased the photo service SD card for $30. We had two flights with two people each from our family, but we were able to buy the card for all four of us for $30. It seemed like not many others purchased it, but there were about 100 images on the card. It’s a nice keepsake, and I’m glad I bought it. When we got off at the end, I gave the captain a $30 tip for the four of us. I used a total of $60 in cash.
天候が心配でしたが、無事にできました。
ウチが4人家族、他に4人家族がもう1組とカップル1組。
全員が日本人でした。
服装は水着が良いです。
最後の方にサービス?の尻ポチャがあり、濡れます。
履物は濡れても良いように、アクアシューズを履いていきましたが
飛ぶ時に裸足になるように言われ、脱ぎました。
乗船の時に滑らないように気を付ければ、ビーサンでも良いかなと
個人的には思います。心配なら滑らない履物で。
自分のカメラで上から撮影して、フォトサービスのSDカードも
30ドルで購入しました。
4人家族で2人ずつの2フライトでしたが、4人分まとめて
30ドルで購入出来ました。
他の方はあまり購入してないようでしたが、カード内に
約100枚の画像が入っていました。
記念に残るし、購入して良かったと思います。
最後の降りる時に船のキャプテンに、チップを4人分として
30ドル渡しました。
現金は合計で60ドル使用しました。
On the day I signed up, I received a cancellation call from the local company around 9 AM due to strong winds (I was glad I used the hotel phone since I didn't have an overseas phone). They asked if I wanted to reschedule for another day, and I initially canceled. However, since the weather was bad and other optional activities were also canceled, I had some free time and was able to adjust the schedule via email and participate again. As an option, having the staff take photos while flying costs an additional $30 (including an SD card, which they hand over to you). Also, since I had a great time, I gave a tip to the boat staff.
申し込んだ日は強風のため、午前9時頃ホテルに直接現地の会社から中止の電話が来ました(海外用の電話は持っていなかったので、ホテルの電話にしておいて良かったです)。別の日にするか聞かれ一度キャンセルしたのですが、天候が悪く他のオプション参加も中止になったため時間が空いてしまい、再度メールにて日程調整して参加することができました。オプションとして、飛んでいるところをスタッフに撮影してもらうと+30ドルです(SDカード込みで、そのまま渡してくれます)。又、楽しかったので、ボートのスタッフへチップを渡しました。
I participated in the 120m plan available only in the early morning. My wife, who is not fond of heights, was worried about joining, but once she experienced it, she found that she didn't feel much height at all and was able to enjoy the pleasant breeze, the blue ocean, and the view of Diamond Head.
Although it comes at an additional cost, I recommend the $30 photo package. We were able to get about 100 photos taken.
早朝限定の120mプランで参加しました。
高い所が苦手な妻は、参加を心配していましたが、実際に体験してみると、高さをあまり感じず、気持ち良い風と、青い海、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色を楽しむことができたようです。
現地での別料金になりますが、30$の写真がおすすめです。
100枚ほど写真をとってもらえました。
I experienced 150m parasailing on my honeymoon. I discovered this option while searching for activities on my own, as the optional tours from the travel agency were far from the hotel and quite expensive. I was attracted by the proximity to the hotel, reasonable pricing, and early morning schedule, so I decided to book it.
On the day of the experience, they picked me up close to the hotel, and we set sail immediately upon arrival, which was great as there was no wasted waiting time. During the experience, the atmosphere was very homey, with everyone cheering and clapping as others took off and returned.
However, the waves in the Hawaiian sea were higher than I had imagined, so I think taking motion sickness medication is necessary. There were long periods of time when we were stationary during others' experiences, and the boat rocked enough for waves to come inside, which made me feel a bit queasy.
But once I was up in the air, it was truly a breathtaking view! From 150m high, I could see all of Waikiki, and the scenery was exhilarating. Before flying, they asked, "Are you okay with the GoPro?" and "Do you want to buy an SD card?" I recommend both. The landing in the water was dynamic, and if you mention that you want to purchase a card, they will take plenty of photos.
When I returned home and looked at the photos on my computer, there were over 100 images! I was amazed that it was only $30 for that. I was really happy about it.
With a 7:45 AM pickup, we arrived back at the hotel shortly after 9 AM, so I was able to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
新婚旅行で150mのパラセイリングを体験しました。旅行会社のオプショナルツアーはホテルから遠く、体験料も高かったので、個人で色々探しているときに発見。
ホテルからも近く、体験料も良心的、朝早い、ということに魅力を感じて申し込みました。
当日はホテルの近くまでお迎えに来てくれて、着いたら即出航。無駄な待ち時間もなく、よかったです。
体験中は同乗の方たちが飛んでいったり、戻ってくるとかけ声と拍手で盛り上げながらだったので、とてもアットホームな雰囲気でした。
ただ、ハワイの海は想像以上に波が高かったので、酔い止めの服用は必要だと思いました。
他の方の体験中は停船している時間も長く、揺られて船のなかに波が入ってくるくらいでしたので、途中から酔いそうになりました。
しかし、いざ飛んでみると、まさに絶景!150mの高さからワイキキを一望でき、すばらしい眺めに大興奮です。
飛ぶ前に「ジャボンOK?」「SDカードは買う?」と聞かれるので、両方をおすすめします。海への着水もダイナミックですし、カードを購入すると伝えるとたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
帰国してからパソコンで見ると、100枚以上のデータが!これで$30とは驚きです。
本当に嬉しかったです。
7時45分のピックアップで9時過ぎにはホテルに到着したので、その後の時間も有意義に過ごせました。
素晴らしい体験になりました。ありがとうございました。
Comfortable, scenic, and fun. The views were great and the crew were very attentive. They went above and beyond for a couple passengers with sea sickness.
Don't worry if you're the last to board and can't find a seat, once you take off everyone is outside and moving around. No wait at the bar or food table. Friendly crew, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge of the islands.
A light jacket or long sleeve shirt might be needed at sunset.
And don't arrive too early since there is a little wait before boarding.
Awesome time!
The show is held on the rooftop, so it was cool, and at first, the sunset was dazzling, making sunglasses a must. I didn't want to wait in line, so I went early and got a seat in the front row on the side. It was a great view, and it was the best seat for taking photos. If you're going to watch, it's better to be up front. The audience was mixed with people from various countries, which was nice in a way. There seemed to be many people from the United States, but since there were attendees from different countries, if you can strike up a conversation, you might enjoy yourself before the show starts.
The food was decent, within acceptable limits, but if you don't have a good seat, you might not finish eating before the show begins. The kids were thrilled and very excited. In addition to the hula, there was also a fire show at the end, so I don't think you'll get bored. I think it's something you should see at least once.
ショーは屋上で行われるため、まあ、涼しいのと、最初は夕日が眩しかったので、サングラス必須でした。
並ぶのが嫌だったので、早めにいったところ、席はサイドの最前列。非常によく見れるし、撮影にも最高の席でした。どうせ観るなら前方がいいですよね。観客席は各国の人と相席なので、それはある意味良かったです。アメリカ本国の人が多かったようですが、各国から集まっていたので、会話ができれば、ショーの始まる前は楽しめるかと思います。
食事はまあまあですが、許容範囲で、いい席でないと、ショーの始まる前に食べ終わらないかもしれません。子供も喜んで大興奮でした。フラだけでなく、ファイヤーショーも最後にあり、飽きることはないかと思います。これも一度は観たほうがいいと思います。
I have done this activity several times in several locations. This was the best, because it was close to Waikiki (walking distance from the Hilton/Ilikai), great crew, great experience. Best in Honolulu
Among the approximately 50 participants, we were the only Japanese family of four. We could hardly understand the staff's English announcements, but once we departed, each staff member spoke to us in broken Japanese.
We were swept up in the excitement of the international guests, and it was incredibly fun. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic.
50人ほどの参加者の中で日本人は、我々の家族4人だけで、スタッフの英語のアナウンスは、ほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、出発してからは、スタッフそれぞれが、片言の日本語で話掛けてくれました。
海外の方々の盛り上がりに引っ張られ、最高に楽しかった。もちろん日の入りも美しく、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高でした。
At first, I was scared of parasailing and hesitated to sign up, but seeing is believing!
最初、パラセーリングが怖くて申し込もうかどうか悩んだ上で参加しましたが、
百聞は一見に如かずです!
Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.
I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.
The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.
I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!
シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ?』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。
セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。
成人してる家族5人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした!
It was our last day in Hawai’i. This hike was the best way to end our 7 day vacation! It was a great bonding time for me and my son! I have a chronic illness so for us to do this hike together is something that we will cherish forever. Walking, talking, and exploring this rainforest was a big hit. Thank you for offering this. Our young man that picked us up was great and helpful!
