Waikiki
A few weeks ago, I made a reservation here and participated in the activity. The shuttle bus arrived right on time in front of our hotel. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were only four of us, including ourselves. The two women we were with mentioned that they would be returning to their home country a few hours later, and they were advised to be careful not to drop anything in the sea. It was great that the staff confirmed this with everyone.
After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat, and while we were swaying with the waves, we put on life jackets. I think it would be smoother if you change into clothes that you don't mind getting wet before this point. All luggage is stored under the boat seats. We brought a digital camera and had a smartphone in a waterproof case hanging around our necks, ready to go.
Before taking off, I entrusted the digital camera to the two women we were with, and they took photos while we were flying. I’m not sure if this is why, but there were no sales of the photo data mentioned in other reviews.
The boat's swaying (which was probably intentional, haha) was fine, but I got really seasick while flying, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication in advance.
The view while flying was as wonderful as others have said. The two women we were with were very kind and gentle, and all the staff were cheerful and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time.
数週間前にこちらで予約し、参加してきました。
宿泊先のホテル前に時間ぴったりに送迎バスが到着。朝早い時間だったからか自分達を含め合計4人だけでした。
一緒だったお二人の女性は、数時間後には帰国されるとのことで、海に落とさないようにお伝えされていました。スタッフさんが全員に確認されていたのが良かったです。
港に着いてしばらくしてからボートに乗り、波に揺られて移動している間に、救命胴衣などが装着されていきました。この時までに濡れて困る服などの着替えを済ませておくとスムーズに進むと思います。荷物は全てボート座席下に収納します。自分達はデジカメを持ち、防水ケースに入れたスマホを首にかけてスタンバイ。
飛ぶ前に、一緒だったお二人にデジカメを託し、飛んでいる間の写真を撮って頂きました。そのためかどうかわかりませんが、他の方の口コミにかかれている撮影データの販売はありませんでした。
ボートの揺れ(恐らく敢えて揺らされています笑)は大丈夫でしたが、飛んでいる間に酷く酔いましたので、酔いやすい方は予め酔いどめを飲んでおく方が良いと思います。
飛んでいるときの景色は他の方も仰っているようにすばらしかったです。一緒だったお二人はとても親切で優しく、スタッフの方は皆さん明るく親切でとても楽しい時間になりました。
I thought it would be a lot scarier than it was, but parasailing was actually quite relaxing! I went tandem with the friend on the 1,000-ft line and boy do you go high up! Looking at Waikiki, it seemed like we were higher than all the skyscrapers.
The crew was really awesome, too, cracking jokes to make us feel more at ease. You can choose how wet you want to get, and we chose to get dipped up to our necks. I was pretty impressed with how well they were able to handle the boat and the sail, as you can also choose to have a completely-dry landing.
This is an experience I recommend to everyone, and the guys at Hawaiian Parasail definitely earned their tip!
The time spent diving was somewhat long, but the content was poor. The experience was quite lacking. First of all, there was no algae at all, not even a fragment. The diving location was just moving back and forth among artificial reefs, and there were only a few small fish and occasionally some larger ones. The only lively one in there was the guide (who was overacting). They should prioritize increasing the fish population first. It seems that feeding them might not be possible, but there should be some method available.
潜水している時間は、多少長かったが内容は、お粗末である。
あまりにも内容が寂しい。まず、藻が全く無いし欠片さえ見えない。
潜水している場所も、人工の岩礁の中を行き来しているだけで
岩礁の中には大きな魚がたまにと、小さな魚が少しいるだけである。
中で元気なのは、案内している親父さんだけである。(演技し過ぎ)
まずは、魚を増やす事を最優先で考えるべきである。
餌付けなどは、出来ないのではと思えるが、何か方法が有ると思われる。
The driver was knowledgeable - talkative - kind - and on time..
the whole experience was great
Before we started, I was wondering if we would be pulled from the sea or if we would just drop into the water! I was really nervous, but as the boat picked up speed, we smoothly lifted off from the deck. The weather was great, and the view from the sky was amazing—it was the best experience. It seems that up to three people can go together, so it was perfect that my family of three could enjoy it together.
始める前は、海の中から引っ張られるのかな?とか、降りる時は海にドボン!なのかな?とか、ドキドキでしたが、船がスピードを上げたかと思うと、船のデッキからスーッと浮かび上がりました。天気も良かったので、空からの眺めが素晴らしく、最高でした。3人まで一緒にできるみたいで、ちょうど家族3人で一緒にできて良かったです。
I found out that I could go parasailing right near the Hilton where I was staying, so I made a last-minute reservation. The access was great, and there was a discount plan, making it a worthwhile experience. The local instructor took lots of photos while we were parasailing, which made for wonderful memories.
宿泊していたヒルトンのすぐ近くでパラセイリングが出来ると知って急きょ予約しました。
アクセスが良く、割引プランもあってお得な体験でした。現地インストラクターさんがパラセイリング中の写真をいっぱい撮ってくれたので良い思い出になりました。
My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.
夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦!渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない 口呼吸だけです」の言葉に 鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく 1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海 可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々 良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道? お魚さんに会える道?なんでしょうか ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる 寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは 夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた 休憩ほしかったといってました。
Thank you for trying snorkeling for the first time with us. I apologize if your husband got quite tired. Our tour might involve more swimming than many other snorkeling tours (laughs). We really want you to see the beautiful fish in Hanauma Bay, so we tend to swim a bit too much. We always consider the sea conditions and tides of the day to guide you on the best route at that time. Next time, I will do my best to show you a sea turtle, so please come back with your husband for our tour again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は初シュノーケリングに挑戦していただき、ありがとうございます。旦那様にはかなり疲れさせてしまったようでごめんなさいね。私達のツアーは数あるシュノーケルツアーの中でも一番泳ぐかもしれません(笑)ハナウマ湾の綺麗なお魚達を沢山見て頂きたくて、ついつい泳ぎ過ぎてしまいます。いつもその日の海のコンディション、潮の満ち引きなどを考えて、その時のベストルートをご案内しております。次こそはウミガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またご夫婦で私達のツアーに来てくださいね。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I'm not good with thrill rides, but I had no problem with parasailing. The view of the Hawaiian sea from above was beautiful and felt great. I did get a little rain when we were up there, but that also became a nice memory. I asked another crew member to take photos for me from below, but there were also people who brought their cameras up with them. If I have the chance again, I would like to try it at 150 meters next time.
私は絶叫系が苦手ですが、パラセイリングは問題なくできました。
上から見るハワイの海はとても綺麗で、気持ちよかったです。
上に上がった時に少々雨に打たれましたが、それもまたいい思い出になりました。
私はカメラは他のクルーにお願いして下から撮ってもらいましたが、カメラも持って上に上がっていく方たちもいました。
また機会があれば、今度は150mで挑戦してみたいです。
This tour of the Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor was the best.
Our driver Ed was so knowledgeable and nice. The tour was awesome and very touching..
Every American should come and visit the memorial when in Honolulu.
My child doesn't really like putting their face in the water and was reluctant to try snorkeling, so the submarine experience was truly great! The kids were thrilled. They were so excited to see the fish underwater. With the Japanese headphones, we could understand the explanations as well. It was a wonderful experience.
子供が海に顔をつけるのがあまり好きではなくシュノーケリングも嫌がっていたので潜水艦は本当に良かったです!
子供達も大喜び。海の中にいる魚を見て大興奮。
日本語のヘッドホン付ければ説明も分かります。いい体験が出来ました。
My wife and I are in our mid-fifties so we cant do the extreme sports or activities. We still wanted to do an activity in Hawaii so we chose Rock a hula and we couldnt be happier. The food was very tasty, they even had a pig like they do in traditional luaus. My wife really enjoyed the coconut fish and the desserts. The dinner was a 10! The show included amazing impersenators of Elvis and Micheal Jackson. We weren't to familiar with the third, but the rest of the younger crowds did seem to enjoy her. I think there is no going wring with this Rock a hul, it will surely let everyone have a great time!
Let me start by saying, I'm not easily impressed. From the start, with our pick up the staff was friendly and accommodating. Our pick up driver was on time. Being that we were also brining our small 9mo old we were ruining a few minutes behind yet, he kindly waited. We got there and were escorted to the theater. While we waited for dinner they put on a little show with hula dancers. Once we were allowed to enter the dinning area the staff all greeted us with smiles and genuine recognition. The drinks were delicious!! My husband isn't a fan of mixed drinks, but instead of his usual beer he actually drank two mai tais. We learned a few hula dances at dinner my son and I, that was my favorite.The food presentation was beautiful and very tasty, dessert my favorites cake, ice cream and cookies good for everyone's taste buds. The show itself was a perfect mix of Hawaiian and traditional entertainment. I actually enjoyed the Hawaiian parts best. I would recommend to more of my family and friends to attend, I already have. They take great care of you!
I was quite nervous since it was my first time paragliding, but the explanations were thorough, and I had a great atmosphere with the other participants! It felt like time flew by because I enjoyed my walk in the sky so much! I thought it could have been a bit longer, but I was fully satisfied! I would love to participate in this activity again next time! (⌒▽⌒)
初めてのパラだったのでかなりドキドキしてましたが、説明もしっかりしていただき他の参加者の方ともすごくいい雰囲気で楽しめました!!
空の散歩が楽しすぎたせいかすぐに時間が過ぎてしまった感じでした!!
もう少し時間が、長くてもいいかなとは思いましたが充分満足できました!!
次回もまた参加してみたいアクティビティです(⌒▽⌒)
This was my first time snorkeling and Dan was a great teacher! He guided me through everything and made sure we were ready before heading out to the waters. I'm so glad that he was our guide..I don't think I would ever be able to do it without him. If you want to learn how to snorkel and see some beautiful fishes and turtles go with Blue Hawaii Divers!
Thank you Clover, you guys were awesome. Hope you had a great honeymoon! Dan.
Since we were staying at a hotel in Ala Moana, we could easily walk to the Hilton. Although it was said to take 2-3 hours, we signed up at 11:00, and since it was just the four of us, we were back at the hotel by 12:30.
The view from 150 meters high was truly fantastic, refreshing, and amazing!
アラモアナのホテルに滞在していたので、ヒルトンまですぐそこで歩いて行けました。
実際には2-3時間かかると言われていましたが、11時に申し込んで、私たち4人だけだったので、12時半にはホテルに戻ってこられました。
150mの高さは本当に見晴らしがよく、気持ちよくて、最高でした!
We went with five family members: three adults and two children aged 8 and 3. The two children were not prompted to wear life jackets, but we could borrow them for free if we asked. They provide three to four practical sessions. The staff members at the back steer while we paddle, so the girls and kids were fine just holding the oars. Riding the waves was more thrilling than we imagined! During our first try, while riding the waves, a Japanese surfer suddenly appeared, and we had to steer to avoid him, almost capsizing. Foreigners were all very good at dodging. For those who can't swim and for children, wearing a life jacket is absolutely essential. This kind of situation is rare, but it was quite scary. Since my 3-year-old was frightened, we ended our attempts after three tries, including one failure. They seemed willing to let us go again, but we decided to finish. Middle schoolers and above will have a blast!
大人3人8才3才の家族5人で乗りました。子供2人のライフジャッケトの着用促されませんでしたが、一応、無料で、こちらから頼み無料で借りれました。3回から4回実地してくれます。こぐのもスタッフ2人が後ろで舵をとりながら、してくれるので、女子供はオールを持ってるだけでも大丈夫でした。波に乗ると想像以上にスリリング!!最初のトライの時、波に乗ってる中で、サーファーの日本人が飛び出してきて、こちらが、舵を切りよけて、横波に当たられ転覆寸前でした。外人さんはみんな上手によけてくれます。泳げない方や子供は絶対にライフジャッケット必須です。こんなことは、まずないようでしたが、ビビリマシタ。3歳の子供が怖がったため、失敗入れて3回でトライ終了。もう1回行ってくれそうでしたが、終了してもらいました。中学生以上は、メッチャ楽しめます。
Thank you for the five-star review! We look forward to your next visit!
五つ星の口コミありがとうございました! またのお越しをお待ちしております!
I was a bit anxious about participating with my 63-year-old mother and my 5-year-old son, but my husband was also with us, so all four of us could enjoy the experience together. We all had a great time. Since we took motion sickness medication before departure, no one ended up feeling seasick, which was a relief.
63歳の母と、5歳の息子を連れての参加で不安もありましたが、夫も一緒に4人一緒に飛ばせてもらえました。みんなで楽しめました。出発前に酔い止めも飲んでいたので、誰も船酔いもせずに終われて良かったです。
I signed up for the 10 AM tour, so the commentary was in Japanese. The local guide's Japanese explanation was entertaining and easy to understand, with some jokes mixed in. We took a boat to the point where we boarded the submarine, and the second floor of the boat was very pleasant, giving us a nice cruise feeling. It was a bit cold inside the submarine. There were many young groups and families. We were able to see colorful fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a certificate.
10時のツアーに申し込んだので日本語の解説でした。現地の方の日本語の解説は、ジョークも交えて面白おかしく、そしてわかりやすいものでした。潜水艦に乗るポイントまでは、船で行くのですが、船の2階はとても気持ちよく、ちょっとしたクルーズ気分が味わえて良かったです。潜水艦内では、ちょっと寒かったです。若いグループや、ファミリーが多かったです。カラフルな魚やサメも見れました(^ ^)証明書はもらえなかったです。
I returned to my teenage years and reaffirmed that Hawaii is an indispensable legend. It was great.
10代にもどれました、またハワイに欠くことの出来ないレジェンドで在った事を再認識しました、良かったです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。また、ハワイにお越しの際にはご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
So much fun!!!!! I thought the guy I the office was a bit rude, but didn't let that effect my rating. The guys on the boat were so nice & friendly, made my family feel so comfortable. Awesome experience!
Originally, we were scheduled for the day before, but the meeting place was hard to find, so we couldn't do it that day. I communicated with Beltora and ended up making a reservation for the next day to experience it. I had participated before and had a great time then as well, but this time I was able to enjoy it amidst the loud music and excitement. I definitely recommend the 150-meter option.
元々予定していたのは前日で、集合場所が分かり辛く、結局その日は出来ずに、ベルトラさんとやりとりをして、次の日に予約とゆう形で体験しました。
以前も参加したことがあり、その時も楽しかったですが、爆音ノリノリの中、楽しく過ごすことができました。
やっぱり150メートルがオススメです。
The underwater world was not monochrome, but rather a monochromatic blue. I was peering in with all my might, but there weren't many fish. However, the view of Waikiki from the boat was great.
海底はモノクロならぬモノアオのせかいでした
一生懸命のぞいていたけど
魚はなかなかいませんでした
でも船から見たワイキキの眺めは
よかったです
I participated in the afternoon session starting at 12:30. Fortunately, we were the only participants. According to the guide, there were nine participants in the morning session, which seems to be more popular, possibly because it allows for more effective use of time. In the afternoon, the water temperature is warmer, so for those who dislike cold water, the afternoon might be a better option.
The guide, who has lived in Hawaii for over 20 years, shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the round trip, which was very helpful. They also provided thorough instructions during snorkeling. The snorkeling masks were of good quality, designed to prevent water from entering through the nozzle. On that day, there were quite a few waves, and while swimming, I occasionally got splashed, but since water didn’t come in from above, it was easy to swim.
The snorkeling time was about an hour, but it flew by as I was swimming and looking for fish. I couldn't find any turtles, but I was able to see various types of fish, which was enjoyable.
12時30分からの午後の回に参加しました。参加者はラッキーなことに私達だけ。ガイドさんいわく、午前は9人の参加だったそうで、時間を有効に使えるからか、午前のほうが人気とのこと。午後は海の温度が上がっているので午前より水が冷たくないので冷たいのが嫌な方は午後のほうがいいかもしれません。
ハワイで20年以上暮らしているというガイドさんは往復の移動中もハワイのことを色々と教えてくれて、ためになりました。
シュノーケルの際も丁寧に教えてくれます。シュノーケルのマスクはいいもので、ノズルの先から水が入らないようになっています。この日は波がかなりあって、泳いでいるときも時々波をかぶることがあったのですが、上から水が入らないので泳ぎやすかったです。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間程度とのことですが、魚を探して泳いでいたらあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。亀は見つけられませんでしたが、色々な種類の魚を観ることが出来て、楽しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It’s not often that you get a private tour just for the two of you, so you were lucky! On that day, the tide was high and the waves were quite strong, so I thought sea turtles would come in close. I’m sorry we couldn’t show them to you. However, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time. Please come back again, just the two of you. We are always waiting for you. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただきまして、ありがとうございます。お二人だけの貸切なんてそう滅多にないので、ラッキーでしたね!この日は満ち潮で波が結構入っていましたから、こんな日はウミガメはインサイドに入ってくるはず!と思っていたのですが、お見せできなくてごめんなさいね。でも楽しんでいただけたようで、嬉しく思います。是非またお二人で来てくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I had wanted to try this for a long time. I finally fulfilled my wish and went for it. I was unsure about the height, but I decided on 120 meters! In the end, I didn't feel scared at all and thought I could have gone even higher. I was also worried about getting seasick, but that was fine. The staff's high energy and brightness lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, it was over without even having time to feel seasick. Next time, I definitely want to participate again.
以前から一度チャレンジしてみたいと思ってました。
やっと念願かなって飛びました。
高さをどうしょうか‥と悩みましたが‥120メートルに決定!
結果‥全く怖さも感じずもっと高くても良かったかも‥と思いました
心配してた船酔いも、大丈夫でした。
スタッフのテンションの高さや明るさで、気分も上がり‥船酔いする間も無くあっという間に終了‥次回‥また参加したいです。
Riding on a submarine was a first-time experience for me. It was great to see the fish at the bottom of the sea and the sunken ship. However, I did feel a bit seasick.
潜水艦に乗った事自体が、初体験でした。
海底の魚達や沈没船を観れた事が、とても良かったです。
ただ、少し船酔してしまいました。
We boarded the ship with a total of four groups, and they guided us to our journey in the sky efficiently and safely!
Since we departed early in the morning, the sunlight wasn't too strong, making it quite pleasant! We'll come back to visit again!
計4組で船に乗船し、手際よく安全に
空の旅へと誘ってくれました‼
朝一から出発したので、
日射しも強くなくて心地よかったです!
また遊びに行きます!
It was a completely new experience... The instruction was thorough, making it easy to understand, and I had a great time snorkeling. Time flew by, and I felt it wasn't enough, so I couldn't say I was completely satisfied!
Thank you very much.
全くはじめての体験、、、丁寧に教えて頂き
分かり易く、楽しくシュノーケリング出来ました。
あっという間に時間が過ぎ、物足りないので
大満足の大は、付けられませんでした!
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? We hope you'll join us next time for the Hanauma Bay Experience Diving Tour. For those who find snorkeling a bit lacking, diving is highly recommended! We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーに来ていただき、ありがとうございます。楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまいますね。是非次回はハナウマ湾体験ダイビングツアーにいらしてください。シュノーケリングでは物足りない方にはダイビングがオススメですよ!またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
The Rock a Hula show was good, including Elvis presley, michael jackson, and katie perry. It also included traditional festive hawaiian misic, and dance, as was quite entertaining.!! I would recommend taking the show-laua package, food was great, and hosts were sooo nice!! I hope you will decide to go. The fire knife dance was also very entertaining!! He pressed the fire directly to his tongue, and held up the fire directly with his feet! Also twirled the fire with both hands! I cannot believe how he can stand the heat!! Elvis presley sang many songs, and came off the stage into the balcony, and shook my hand, and hugged my wife, unbelievable!! Michael jackson did his moonwalk, and sang classic mj songs like billie jean, etc., so entertaining!! He really looked like michael jackson, the black geri-curled hair, signature white glove, red dance jacket, and those famous michael jackson dance moves, WOW!!
I can't say enough about the venue, the hotel which held the show, the drinks were awesome, all the staff were so nice, so accomodating, and everyone was helpful!! When I return to hawaii in june I plan to go again with my sons!! You would really enjoy this show, I highly recommend it!! The total experience was an unforgettable pleasure!!
I was a bit worried that 150 meters would be scary, but it felt amazing! The boat was really rocky on the way to the parasailing spot, so I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick. However, I'm glad I participated.
150メートルにしたので、怖いかなと不安でしたが最高に気持ち良かったです!パラセーリングスポットに着くまで船が凄く揺れたため、酔い止め服用しましたが船酔いしてしまいました。でも。参加してよかったです。
My husband took me here for our Anniversary. We had a great time at the buffet! The food was amazing and so was the dinner entertainment! There isn't a bad seat in the place! They engaged the audience in the performance and not only were the main acts great, the dancers were amazing and kept the audience attention the whole time. You weren't ready for it to be over, but it was nice to take pictures wth the entertainers after the show. It was my husbands second time attending, so I bet we will be back for another show! Worth every penny!
