Waikiki
What an awesome experience I got to share with my son for his 18th birthday. The guide's, Dan and his wife were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend.
Thank you Chris, you guys did great. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
I was quite anxious about participating alone as a woman and my limited English skills, but surfing in Hawaii was something I had wanted to do for three years, so I decided to go for it!
To my surprise, I heard a lot of Japanese being spoken here and there! There were people who chatted with me and created a fun atmosphere, and the person in charge, who was American, also used some broken Japanese like "more forward." Thanks to their support, I was able to stand on the board from my very first try! It was so much fun that I decided to start surfing back in Japan too!
英語もつたなく、女性の1人参加ということで不安は多々ありましたが、ハワイでサーフィンするのは3年越しのやりたかったことだったので思い切って参加してみました!
すると、割とあちらこちらで日本語が飛び交ってる…!色々喋りかけてくれて、楽しい雰囲気にしてくれる人や、担当してくれた方もアメリカの方でしたが「もっと前」などカタコトの日本語も駆使してくれましたよ^^
その方のサポートもあり、1回目からボードに立つことができました!!
すごく楽しかったので、日本でもサーフィン始めようと思いました☆
The only activity on this trip made me a bit nervous, but the person who picked us up was very cheerful, which helped me relax! The crew didn't speak Japanese, but since I didn't want to get wet, I communicated in English not to drop me in the water, and they asked, "No Japan?" They really made sure I landed safely on the boat without dropping me. There might be a little splash, but my swimsuit didn't get wet at all, so I was able to go home dry. They took 66 photos while we were flying, and they were all angles I couldn't have captured myself. I thought I should have bought a GoPro, but the photos turned out to be wonderful memories. I had so much fun that I want to fly about three more times!
今回の旅行で唯一のアクティビティで、少し緊張していたのですが送迎の方がとても明るい方でリラックスできました!
クルーの方は日本語が通じませんが、水に濡れたくなかったわたしは英語で水に落とさないでと伝えたら「ノージャポン?」って聞いてくれてほんとに落とさずにしっかりと船の上に着地させてくれました。
水しぶきで少し濡れることはありますが、着用していた水着は全く濡れることなく帰れました。
飛んでいる間の写真を66枚も撮影して頂き、自分では撮れないアングルの写真ばかりでGoProを買えばよかったなと思っていたのですが十分満足な思い出に残る写真となりました。
あと3回くらい飛びたいなと思うくらい楽しかったです!
It felt absolutely amazing! I wanted to stay up in the sky like that forever.
However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. The people I was with were so exhausted that they couldn't enjoy the parasailing at all.
めちゃめちゃ気持ち良かった!
このまま空にいたいくらいでした
ただ、船に弱い方は要注意かもです。同乗の方々はパラセイルを楽しむどころではないくらいグッタリでした
I didn't know I could get seasick, but these guys came ready with meds and drinks. Super informative and care for your well being. My girlfriend had a blast and she was so excited to see turtles peeking out the waters. Awesome experience and thanks!
You can start hula dancing and enjoy dances from Polynesia and other regions. Randomly selected participants can challenge themselves on stage with conch shell blowing and dancing. The finale was an impressive fire dance. The MC's lively talk and jokes had everyone laughing, but it was a shame that I couldn't quite understand the English.
フラダンスを始め、ポリネシアなどの舞踊が楽しめます。
参加者からランダムで選ばれた人はステージで、ホラ貝吹きやダンスに挑戦できます。
最後は迫力満点のファイヤーダンスで締めでした。
MCの方の軽快なトークとジョーク的ななにかで周りが笑っていたのですが、
英語が今ひとつわからなかったのが残念でした。
The ranch is wonderful, and the tour content was quite good, but above all, each person working there was incredibly warm and welcoming!! After this tour, you'll definitely crave garlic shrimp! And you'll want to borrow a lot of DVDs! Haha, I want to go back when my child is born and grows up!
牧場も素敵で、ツアーの内容もかなり良かったですがなにより働いてる方1人1人がすごく温かく対応してくれます!!このツアーの後はガーリックシュリンプが食べたくなりますよ!そしてたくさんDVD借りたくなります!笑 子供が産まれて大きくなったらまた行きたいです!
We were the only Japanese people, but the local staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable by saying words they knew in Japanese, like "yoroshiku" and "okonomiyaki"!
日本人は私達だけでしたが、現地スタッフの方が「よろしく」とか「お好み焼き」など、知ってる日本の単語を言いながら、フレンドリーに接してくれ、居心地も良かったです!
It was our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon and our first experience with parasailing. We were quite anxious when our pickup didn't arrive even after the scheduled time, but we waited patiently, and eventually, they came 17 minutes late. (It seemed that everyone else except us was a foreign guest, and they probably weren't at the meeting point on time.)
Neither the driver nor the staff at the parasailing check-in spoke much Japanese, so we struggled a bit with our zero English skills, but the boat staff spoke a little Japanese and were friendly.
I thought they would take photos for us and we could buy the data later, but if I hadn't said anything, we wouldn't have had any photos taken. So, if you want pictures, it's better to confirm in advance.
The parasailing itself was very stable and not scary at all! It was a luxurious time where we could see the city and beach of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. The boat captain was a young man who successfully fulfilled our request for a "little splashdown," and he was skilled! Another male staff member was also very pleasant.
It probably depends on the sea conditions, but I didn't mind the boat's rocking at all, and I enjoyed the view from the boat during the waiting time. This is an activity I would love to experience again.
ハネムーンで初めてのハワイ、初めてのパラセーリング 体験でした。
ピックアップ時間を過ぎてもお迎えが来ず、かなりヒヤヒヤしましたが じっとその場で待ち、結局17分オーバーで無事来てもらえました。(私たち夫婦以外は全員外国人客で、どうやらピックアップ時間に集合場所に出てなかった様子)
ドライバーさんも、パラセーリング 受付のスタッフも、日本語はほぼ通じなかったので 英語力ゼロの私達は少し苦労しましたが、ボートのスタッフさんたちは少し日本語で話してくれましたし 気さくに接してくれました。
写真撮影は、勝手にしてくれて後でお金を払えばデータが買えると思っていて、特に何も言わなかったら 撮影してもらえてなかったので 写真が欲しい方は 事前に確認したほうが良いです。
パラセーリング 自体は、とても安定感があって全く怖くなかったです!ワイキキの街やビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望できる、贅沢な時間でした♪
ボートのキャプテンは若い男性でしたが 「少しだけ着水」を見事希望通り叶えてくれましたし、上手でしたよ!もう一人の男性スタッフも感じ良かったです。
海のコンディションによるんでしょうが、ボートの揺れも気にならず、待機時間も船上からの眺めを満喫できて楽しかったです。
また体験したいアクティビティです。
There were only my husband and I who were Japanese, and the rest were all foreigners, but the staff supported us with their limited Japanese, which was very reassuring.
However, there was a group that got seasick, so they temporarily returned to the shore.
The catamaran sailing was pleasant and I highly recommend it; the snorkeling equipment was well-stocked, and they checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay.
I would like to use this service again, but I regret not knowing the typical tip amount and think I may have given too little.
日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人ばかりでしたがスタッフは片言の日本語でフォローしてくれて、とても安心でした。
ただ船酔いしたグループがいたので、途中一旦もどり下船していました。
カタマランのセーリングは気持ちよくおすすめです、シュノーケル機材も充実していて何度も大丈夫か?と聞いてくれます。
また利用したいです、最後のチップの相場が分からなくて少なかったかなと、後悔しています。
The view is amazing. I participated with a digital camera in hand, and although I had a foot strap, the camera was fine. It seems you can choose between no strap, waist, or foot options. When I said "a little," it was about the foot strap. Quite a few people were paragliding while holding their smartphones around their necks or selfie sticks. They won't take responsibility if you fall, though.
We flew in the morning, and the weather was wonderful. We were able to return to Ohana Waikiki Malia Hotel by 9:30.
A couple from California who rode with us joked, "Terrace House?" I couldn't respond well and just laughed. I guess it's famous because Netflix is airing Terrace House.
素晴らしい眺めです。デジカメを手にひもを巻き参加。足じゃぽんありでしたが、カメラは大丈夫でした。
じゃぽんは、なしか、腰までとか足とか選べるようです。
「ちょっと」というと、足じゃぽんくらいでした。結構みんな首からかけたスマホや、自撮り棒カメラもったまま、パラセーリングしてました。落ちても責任はとってもらえませんが。
午前中飛びましたが、素晴らしい天気。
9時半にはオハナワイキキマリアホテルに戻れました。
同乗したカリフォルニアからきたカップルに
「テラスハウス?」と、ボケられました。うまくかえせず笑
ネットフリックスが、テラスハウスをやっているからか有名なのですね。
Billy, our guide, was very fun and amazing. He made sure to pay attention to all the participants while mixing in jokes. You can rent a car and go on your own, but the explanations about Hawaii's plants and history made it even more enjoyable. The Manoa Falls were refreshing, but I think one of the best parts of this tour is being able to eat an organic lunch at Kapiolani Park.
ガイドのビリーさんがとても楽しくて最高でした。ジョークを交えながら、すべての参加客に気を使ってくれていました。個人でレンタカーを借りて行くこともできますが、ハワイの植物のことや歴史の事など、説明があったのでより一層楽しめました。マノアの滝も気持ち良かったですが、カピオラニ公園でオーガニックのお弁当を食べれるのも、このツアーの良いところだと思います。
We used this for our honeymoon trip, and the staff's service was wonderful! When we took the lesson, there were only four of us, including my husband and me, so it was almost a one-on-one lesson, and we were able to stand on the board right away! We had plenty of time, more than we could have asked for, and we had a meaningful experience!
ハネムーン旅行で利用したのですが、
とにかく、スタッフさんの対応が素敵でした!!
私達がレッスンを受けた時は少人数で私達、夫婦含め4人だったのですが、ほぼワンツーマンでのレッスンで、すぐにボードの上に立つ事ができました!!
時間も、これ以上できないくらいまでたっぷりあり、有意義な時間を過ごせました!
Cheiko was very patient with our beginner family of 2 adults and 2 young kids
We had a great time and she especially took care of my wife who is terrified of the water
I highly recommend this tour for all those who have never done snorkelling before- it’s very safe
Something you should never miss out
Thanks guys I am glad you had fun. Hope we see you again. Chieko.
I was expecting it to be a bit clearer, so I was somewhat disappointed, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience on a submarine.
もう少し鮮明に見えると、思っていたので少々期待はずれのところがありましたが、初めての潜水艦堪能できました。
The venue is on the rooftop of the 6th floor, and every visitor is given a fresh flower lei, which you can take back to Japan. Upon entry, you can take commemorative photos with the dancers, and during the show, seats are sold for $50. Once seated, the buffet starts in order of table rank, and then the show begins. There was a sudden downpour, but the venue staff, who were older gentlemen, distributed raincoats to everyone. The content of the show was stunning, with a different level of excitement compared to Spa Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima Prefecture.
6階屋上が会場で、来場者の全ての方に生花レイをかけてくれて、日本に持ち帰えることも出来ました。
入場するとダンサーの方と記念撮影、ショーの最中に50ドルで席まで販売してきます。
着席するとテーブルランク順にブュッフェスタート、そーするとショーもスタートします。
途中、スコールがありましたが、会場スタッフのおじいちゃん達が一人ひとりにカッパを配ってました。
ショーの内容は圧巻、福島県のスパリゾートハワイアンズとは違った迫力がありました。
Excellent food and entertainment. The show was outstanding and the buffet style was great to be able to try several new foods
Mahalo for choosing The Waikiki Starlight Luau on your stay. We are so thrilled that you enjoyed our luau. Hope to see you again soon! :) ALOHA
It was very beautiful, and I was able to observe the seabed slowly. Along the way, I also saw sea turtles and many fish, which made me satisfied.
The boat to the submarine was very rocky, and I ended up feeling seasick. On the way back, we stopped on the water for about 10 minutes before heading to the port for photo sales, which made me feel sick again.
Overall, I was satisfied with the experience that I wouldn't normally have.
とてもきれいでゆっくりと海底を観察できました。
途中ウミガメやたくさんの魚も見ることができ、満足です。
潜水艦までの船がとても揺れたため船酔いをしてしましました。
帰りの船で写真の販売の為、港へ向けて出発するのに10分前後海上で
停船したため酔いました。
総合的に普段できない体験ができ満足です。
I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I challenged myself to try surfing for the first time! I decided to join the tour after reading the reviews. Since I wasn't sure about the location of the lesson, I opted for the pickup service, but I think I could go there on my own next time. Although the lesson wasn't in Japanese, there was someone who could instruct in Japanese! Moreover, it was a surprising reunion with someone I had met multiple times in the past at a certain place. I realized that it required more physical strength than I had imagined. I haven't mastered surfing completely, so I would like to participate in this tour again when I have the chance. Even as a beginner, they provide proper instruction, so I was able to stand up a few times. It was fun!
今まで何度もハワイへ行っていますが、今回、初サーフィンに挑戦!!こちらの口こみをみて、ツアー参加を決めました。
レッスン場所の位置がわからなかったので、送迎ありにしましたが、次回参加するときは自分達で行けると思う場所にありました。日本語レッスンにはしていませんでしたが、日本語で指導していただける方!!しかも、とある所で過去に何回もお会いしている方で、ビックリの再会でした。想像していたより、体力を使うことがわかりました。全部サーフィンをマスターしたわけではないので、また機会をみて、このツアーに参加したいと思います。確かに初めてでも、ちゃんと指導してくれるので、何回かは、立てます。楽しかったです。
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the snorkel catamaran. The boat crew was not only incredibly informative on use of equipment, but ensured first time
Snorkelers like ourselves had adequate support. They were also pretty comical as well! Seeing the sea turtles was awesome! One crew member even dove down to to the reef to retrieve my dropped cell phone! I had so many priceless photos and memories from my Dad’s funeral on the phone, that I would not have been able to replace them. Thank you for the incredible experience.
You should absolutely use this service!!! Amazing!!
Thank you guys, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
The tour starts efficiently and ends early in the morning, allowing plenty of time afterward.
Since it's a small boat, there can be some rocking, so taking motion sickness medication is essential, but once you're flying, you won't notice it.
They also take photos for $30. Since they use a DSLR, the pictures come out very beautifully, so I highly recommend it!
手際よくツアーが始まり、終わりも朝早くに終わるのでその後の時間もたっぷりととれます。
小型船なので、揺れもありますので船酔い止めは必須ですが、飛んでしまえば気になりません。
写真も30$で撮ってくれます。一眼レフなので、大変きれいに撮ってもらえるのでおすすめです!
Jimmy was my surf instructor and he was knowledgeable, friendly, and very encouraging. I actually caught a few waves. Overall, I had a great experience and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

It was the best parasailing experience with a stunning view of Waikiki Beach from above! At the end, I mysteriously splashed into the sea, but that was also refreshing and fun! The guide was friendly, and I would love to experience it again if I go back!
ワイキキビーチを空から一望でき、最高のパラセーリングでした!
最後謎に海にぽちゃんと浸かりますがそれも気持ちよくて楽しかったです!
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでまた行ったら体験したいです!
Last time, I participated in the sandbar, and this time I challenged myself with parasailing. Since it was mentioned in the experience reports, I thought it would be pointless to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication to be fully prepared. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with good weather, and it was refreshing. I participated with a friend (both of us are 65 years old), and it became one of our precious memories in Hawaii. However, it was unfortunate that I didn't have cash on me, and while I was processing the payment for the photos with my card, the shuttle left, making us wait for about 30 minutes. I wondered if there was no confirmation before departure.
前回はサンドバーに参加させて頂き、今回はパラセーリングに挑戦となりました。体験談にも書かれておられたので、船酔いをしては、元も子もないと思い酔い止めを飲んで万全の体制を整えました。当日は天候にも恵まれ、爽快の一言です。友人と二人(共に65歳)での参加でしたが、喜んでくれハワイでの貴重な思い出の一つとなりました。ただ、残念だったのは現金を所持しておらず、写真代をカード決済している間に送りの車が行ってしまい30分程待たされました。発車前の確認はないのかと疑問に思いました。
The captain seemed to have a great vibe and made us feel at ease. I chose the 90-meter option, but I think height didn't matter. I wasn't asked beforehand if I wanted the 90 meters, though.
However, it didn't feel scary at all; it was quite pleasant. Water Japon was very kind to us. (laughs)
At the end, when I gave a tip, they were really happy.
ノリが良さそうな船長(キャプテン)が和ませてくれます。90メートルを選びましたが、高さは関係なく上げられたと思います(;o;)事前に90メートルですね?なんて聞かれなかったので。
でも怖い感じはなく気持ち良かったです。水ジャポンは優しくしてくれました。笑
最後にチップを渡したらすごく喜んでくださいました。
The sea was very beautiful. It was a great memory to see the rare seals. Having a Japanese guide was the most reassuring part. If you're looking for snorkeling, I recommend this place!
海はとても綺麗でした。貴重なアザラシが見れたのは良い思い出です。日本人ガイドだったのが1番安心しました。シュノーケリングを探してる方はこちらがオススメです!
Dear Sho-chan, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It was lucky to see the Hawaiian monk seal! It seems that Hanauma Bay has become your favorite recently, and seals are now spotted more frequently than before. I'm really glad you could enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Please feel free to join us again for another tour whenever you have the chance. You are always welcome. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
しょうちゃん様、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。ハワイアンモンクシールが見れてラッキーでしたね!最近はハナウマ湾がお気に入りなようで、以前よりも頻繁にアザラシちゃんが見れるようになりました。安心してシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて本当に良かったです。また機会がありましたらツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでも大歓迎です。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
- All three attractions were amazing. The location tour, jungle exploration, and historical explanations were all interesting and easy to understand. While looking at other attractions, I definitely wanted to participate in the interactive ones.
- The movie location tour was very intriguing, as there were various filming sites besides Jurassic Park.
・三つのアトラクション全て最高でした。ロケ地巡り、ジャングル探検、歴史 的なもの全て説明も面白く、分かりやすく良かったです。他のアトラクショ ンを見ていると、参加型で是非参加したいアトラクションでした。
・映画ロケ地巡りではジェラシックパーク以外にも色々な撮影があったという ことで非常に興味深かったです。
I liked that it was easy to find the location since it was near Hilton, and the travel time was minimal. I was worried that traveling by boat might make me feel sick, but it was not a problem at all. The staff spoke only English, but they were very considerate, making it easy for beginners, and they entertained us with some broken Japanese. We started at 9:00 with six participants, and there were three other groups with two participants each, but everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the other activities. Some tours can take up a lot of time just for travel, so I plan to sign up for this tour again next time.
ヒルトンのところから出ているため、場所も分かりやすく、移動時間も最短で気に入りました。船の移動が気持ち悪くなるか心配でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。スタッフは英語だけですが、初心者の方にも問題ないくらい気遣いをされていて、片言の日本語で楽しませてくれていましたよ。9:00スタートでしたが、6名で参加し、他に2名参加が3組おりましたが、スムーズに進み、他を楽しむことができました。ツアーよっては移動時間だけで時間がとられてしまうため、次回もこのツアーに申込む予定です。
- Taste of Kualoa Tour
In the vast nature, with easy-to-understand explanations from a Japanese guide, I was able to see various plants and also enjoyed some tastings. Since various movie filming locations and sets are still preserved, it was a lot of fun!
- Jungle Expedition & Kualoa Legends Tour
Riding in the back of a large jeep-like vehicle, we went through the jungle, which was quite thrilling. The gate from Jurassic World was there, and there were even claw marks left by the Indominus Rex on the wall! I was able to touch on history and had a very valuable experience.
- Movie Filming Locations & Ranch Tour
In the midst of wonderful scenery, the landscapes I saw in the movies spread out before me, and I was very moved! The fallen tree where Dr. Grant and the children hid from the approaching dinosaur in Jurassic Park is still there, and you can take commemorative photos there! I also got to see famous movie scenes and sets from Jurassic World and King Kong, making it the best experience!
・テイスト オブ クアロア ツアー
広大な自然の中を日本人ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明で、様々な植物を見ることができ、また試食も楽しめました。様々な映画のロケ地やセットもそのまま残されているので、とても楽しめます!
・ジャングル探検&クアロア伝説ツアー
大型のジープのような車の荷台に乗り、ジャングルの中を抜けていくので、迫力があります。ジュラシックワールドに登場するあのゲート、そして、壁にはなんとインドミナス・レックスがつけた爪の傷跡もしっかり残されています!歴史にも触れられ、とても貴重な経験ができました。
・映画ロケ地&牧場ツアー
素晴らしい景色の中、映画で見たあの風景が目の前に広がっていて、すごく感動しました!ジュラシックパークでグラント博士と子どもたちが、迫りくる恐竜から逃げるときに身を隠したあの倒木がそのままあり、そこで記念写真を撮ることができます!他にもジュラシックワールドやキングコングなど、有名な映画のあの景色やセットを見る事ができて最高の体験でした!
