Waikiki
I experienced parasailing for the first time. It was only a few minutes in the air, but I had a wonderful aerial adventure. We boarded a motorboat with several groups and took turns flying in the sky. The motorboat swayed quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
初めてパラセイリングを経験しました。
空中ではほんの数分でしょうか。とても素晴らしい空中遊泳の旅を経験いたしました。
何組かのグループでモーターボートに乗船して、順番に空を飛びます。
モーターボートはかなり揺れるので、船酔いをする方は要注意だと思います。
Had a wonderful dive this morning with Waikiki Dive Center. The tour provided everything needed for a perfect morning dive. As two experienced divers we were impressed with the marine life and shipwreck!
I participated in mid-June! I'm honestly not great with heights, so I was anxious and thought I might get seasick, but once I took off, it was just as others have reviewed! At first, it was scary, but when you go up into the sky and come back down, they operate the controls slowly, so it wasn't as frightening as I expected (I won't say it wasn't scary at all, haha). However! Being able to see the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head from 150 meters above the sea was an unforgettable experience! I definitely recommend trying it! Just be aware that the boat heading out can be really bumpy, so it might be tough for those who get seasick... please take care!
6月中旬に参加させていただきました!
高いところは正直苦手ですので不安で船酔いしそうでしたが、いざ飛んでみると他の皆さんがレビューしている通り!最初は怖いですが空に上がるときも船に戻るときもゆっくりと操作してくれるので思ってたより怖くはなかったです。(全然とは言いません笑)しかし!ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを海上150メートルから一望できたのは一生の思い出になる経験です!是非経験してみてください!
ただし、沖に向かう船がめっちゃ揺れますので船酔いする方はきついかもしれません、、、ご注意を!
The food was very delicious, and the show was a lot of fun. I definitely want to come again. Thank you to everyone who took care of us.
お料理も、とても美味しかったし、ショーもとても楽しかったです。
また、是非来たいです。
お世話をして下さった皆様、ありがとうございました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, the performances by Elvis and Michael, as well as the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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。
It was my first time parasailing! I had a great time with the people on the boat who took photos for me, and the staff were very kind and helpful! I flew at 150 meters, and the weather was great, allowing me to enjoy the stunning views, so I highly recommend it! The photos are available for an additional fee of $40, and they provided them on a miniSD card!
初めてのパラセーリングでした!同船した方に写真を撮っていただいたり、スタッフの皆さんも優しく案内してくれたりととても楽しい時間でした!150m飛びましたが、天気もよく絶景を堪能できるのでおすすめです!別料金の写真は$40、miniSDで渡してくれました!
The departure time was delayed, feeling like Hawaii time. There are restrooms at the harbor, but the men's room has security, so you might need to follow the boat staff to get in (I was let in). The women's room didn't have security, and it's not recommended to go alone. It's better to use the restroom at the hotel.
The boat moves quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, definitely take some motion sickness medication. A foreign girl who was on board looked like she was struggling. Once you're up in the parachute, the view is amazing; you can see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head clearly. The captain tends to play around quite a bit with the parachute.
In the end, you usually get splashed into the sea, so if you don't want that, it's better to say "water!" before the parachute goes up. After getting splashed, your body gets cold, so a jacket might be necessary. The staff will take photos for you, but they aren't professionals, so the quality might not be perfect. You can check the photos at the reception at the end and decide whether to purchase them, which is reassuring. The data can be downloaded to an SD card or smartphone.
I think parasailing is something you should definitely try at least once!
出発時間は予定より遅れて出発ハワイ時間って感じです。
ハーバーにトイレはあるが男子用はセキュリティー付きなので
ボートのスタッフに着いて行けば入れるかも(自分はいれてもらった)
女子用はセキュリティーは無かった、一人で行くのは進められない。
トイレはホテルで済ましておいた方が良い
ボートは激しく進むので船に弱い人は酔い止め必見です、
同乗した外国人の女の子が辛そうでした。
パラシュートは上がっちゃえば最高の景色です、ワイキキビーチ、ダイアモンドヘッドが良く見えます。
キャプテンに結構パラシュートは遊ばれます。
最後には大体海ポチャされます、海ポチャがやな場合はパラシュートが上がる前に水ダメ!とか言った方が良いです。
海ポチャして上がると体が冷えるので上着は必要かな。
あとスタッフが写真を撮ってくれますが、プロでは無いのでそれほど
バッチリとはいかないかもです、写真は最後に受付で確認して
そこで購入するか判断できるので安心です、データーはSDカードかスマフォに
ダウンロードです。
パラセーリングは一度はやって見た方がいいと思いますよ!
It was good well explained with saftey and what the plan was. The experience was o.k however there wasn't alot of sea life to see like turtles or alot of fish. The time wasn't as long as it is mentioned in the advertisement. It's great that they offer pics and vids I just wish there would of been more than just 6.
The tour included a Japanese guide, but most participants were from overseas, so the explanations were primarily in English, with occasional translations in Japanese. If you asked questions, they would respond in Japanese. During the trekking, the group gradually spread out at their own pace, so I hardly listened to the explanations in the second half, but I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature and the fresh air around me. I never thought I would go out of my way to experience such impressive nature in Japan, so I'm glad I participated in this tour! For those interested in the Manoa Falls tour, I hope you can enjoy the great outdoors without worrying too much about language or history.
日本語ガイドさん付きでしたが、参加者の方は海外の方が多く基本的には英語、日本語でもちょくちょく解説してくれる感じでした。
質問したら日本語で教えてくれますし、トレッキング中はだんだん団体の間隔がそれぞれのペースで空いてくるので、後半はほとんど解説を聞いてなかったんですが、目の前に広がる大自然と肌に感じる澄んだ空気で全然楽しめました^ ^
日本でなかなかここまで立派な自然をわざわざ感じに行こうとは思わなかったので、参加して良かったツアーです!
マノアの滝ツアーが気になる方は言葉とか歴史とかはあまり気にせず、とにかく大自然をいっぱい堪能してほしいなと思いました^ ^
I went parasailing for the first time‼️
I want to praise myself for being able to do something like this at over 60 years old!
The scenery was amazing‼️ The sense of freedom‼️
I felt motivated to work hard again starting tomorrow.
初めてパラセーリングをしました‼️
60歳をすぎてこんな事が出来る自分を褒めてやりたいです!
素晴らしい風景‼️解放感‼️
また明日から元気に頑張ろうと思いました。
I enjoyed it more than I had imagined. The course was varied, allowing for different ways to have fun. The lunch was fresh and delicious, with both meat and vegetables. The tour led by Mr. KOA was especially enjoyable.
想像していたより、楽しめた。コースがバラエティに飛んでいて、いろいろな楽しみ方が出来る。ランチはお肉も野菜も新鮮で美味しかった。特にガイドMr.KOAさんのツアーは楽しかった
Thank you very much for staying with my wife, who is not good at swimming, until the end. Thanks to you, we were able to see many different kinds of fish, and it became the best experience and memory for us. If we have another opportunity, we will definitely sign up again. Please take care of yourself, and we look forward to your continued support.
泳ぎが苦手な妻に最後まで付いてくださって、本当ににありがとうございました。おかげさまで、たくさんの種類のお魚を見ることが出来て、私達にとって最高の体験、思い出になりました。また機会がありましたら必ず申込みさせていただきます。お体に気をつけてこれからも引き続き宜しくおねがい致します。
After enjoying a buffet-style dinner, you'll be watching a show, so the time commitment will be longer. It’s better not to schedule anything else afterward. There is a roof, but since the dining is outdoors, there is no air conditioning. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere while watching hula dancing during the meal. I recommend this for your first trip to Hawaii.
ビュッフェ形式の夕食を楽しんだ後にショーを観るので拘束時間が長くなります。
次の予定は入れない方が良いでしょう。
屋根はありますが野外での食事なので空調はありません。
食事中もフラダンスも観れるので賑やかに楽しめます。
初めてのハワイ旅行でオススメします。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockafella Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We hope you enjoyed the food and the show. We look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ オリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お食事とショーもお楽しみいただけたことかと思っております。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。
During the shuttle ride, a foreign guest made an effort to have a conversation in both English and Japanese, but the majority of the time was spent speaking in English, which made it a bit awkward. Since I participated with the expectation of Japanese support, I felt that multilingual sharing should be avoided as much as possible. Other than that, I had a great time!
送迎の車の中で外国の方が相乗りした際に英語と日本語両方で一生懸命交互に会話してくれたのですが、やはり英語で話す時間が圧倒的に多く気まずい時間でしたので日本語対応で参加している以上、多国語の相乗りは出来る限り避けて頂きたいと感じました。それ以外は大変楽しめました!
There were three of us participating, and the rest were about 25 foreign guests. We were lucky to have two guides, and one Japanese guide was assigned to our group of three, providing detailed explanations on various topics. The ground was wet and uneven, so it was necessary to take precautions against slipping. I think it's best to be prepared for muddy shoes as well. The path to the waterfall features various plants and power spots, so it was never boring.
On the way back, we received sandwiches and were taken directly to Tantalus Lookout for lunch. It was a beautiful hill with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and it felt wonderful to be there.
私達3人で参加しました、他は全て25人程は外国人の方々でした。
ガイドさんが二人付いてくれてて、一人の日本人ガイドさんが3人に付いてくれたのでとてもラッキーで細かい事まで丁寧に説明してもらえました。
足下は湿ってて足がゴロゴロしてるので、滑らない工夫が必要です。泥で靴も汚れますので覚悟してたほうがいいと思います、滝までの道のりは色々な植物やパワースポットがあり飽きません。
帰りにサンドイッチを受け取りそのままタンタラスの丘まで連れて行ってもらい昼食でした、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキが見渡せるとても見晴らしのキレイな丘で気持ち良かったです。
Guide Chieko and Ben provided thorough explanations and took underwater photos for us, so we didn't have to buy a waterproof case to capture beautiful pictures. Although I heard that booking Hanauma Bay can be quite a hassle, this tour allowed us to enjoy it without any of that trouble.
ガイドのチエコさん、ベンさんが丁寧に説明してくれて、水中写真も撮ってくれたので、自分で防水ケースを買って撮らなくてもきれいな写真を撮ってくれた。ハナウマ湾は予約が大変とのことだったが、このツアーはそんな煩わしさがないので楽しめた。
- The guided tour forced us to snorkel, and the details of the guided experience were unclear.
- When I asked to seat my child in the second row of the vehicle due to motion sickness, I was met with a very unpleasant expression and told to put them in the third row instead.
- I was told that they needed to keep up with the adults at the same speed, even though I have small children.
- When I mentioned that my child would be playing in the shallow water, I was told that was not allowed.
- I said that snorkeling was too difficult for my child and that we would stop midway, and I was met with various comments, ultimately being asked in a very intimidating manner, "Do you understand what I'm saying?" It's unimaginable.
- I pointed out that the voucher and the explanation during the outbound trip did not mention that we had to stay with the guide at all times and that if we didn't snorkel, we couldn't play in the shallow water, but their insistence did not change.
- I cannot recommend this at all for small children.
・ガイド付きツアーで強制的にシュノーケルをさせられる。ガイド付きの内容が不明確。
・往路の車で乗り物酔いする子で子供を2列目の席に座らせたいと言うと凄く嫌な顔をされて3列目にしてと言われる
・小さい子供がいるのに深い所まで大人と同じスピードで着いて来てもらわないと困ると言われる
・子供は浅瀬で遊ばせてますと言うとそれは出来ないと言われる
・子供には難しいのでシュノーケルを途中でやめておきますと言うと、色々言われ、最終的には「私の言っている事がわかるか?」と非常に威圧的な言葉を言われた。考えられない。
・バウチャーや往路の車中の説明にはガイドと終始行動し、シュノーケルをしない場合は浅瀬でも遊べないとの記載等が無いことを指摘したが強行性は変わらず
・小さな子向けにはおすすめ全くできません
I participated on the last day of our honeymoon, and I had a great time seeing so many fish!
The arrangements were quick, and everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the afternoon as well. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to request this again!
I would love to get the photos that Dan took; could you please let me know where they are?
ハネムーン最終日に参加させていただきましたが、とてもたくさんの魚を見ることができ楽しかったです!
段取りも早く、スムーズに終わることが出き、午後も楽しむことができました。
またハワイに行く機会がありましたらお願いしたいと思います!
ダンさんが撮っていた写真を頂きたいのですが、どちらにあるんでしたか教えていただけると嬉しいです。
Even with last-minute reservations, you can feel secure as they confirm everything properly via email and phone. I was a bit anxious about the reception location since there was no sign (as mentioned in the reservation confirmation), but following the map sent with the confirmation helped me find it.
It mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, but I ended up waiting with nothing to do until the start time, so the purpose of the early arrival was unclear.
The snorkeling experience starts with the instructor properly explaining how to handle the equipment, which is reassuring for beginners. I recommend it for those who want to safely try it out nearby. The water wasn't very clear, though.
直前予約でも、メールと電話できちんと確認されるので安心です。
当日の受付場所は、案内版がなくて(ないと予約確認書に書いてあります)不安でしたが、予約確認書に送られてくる地図に従うとたどり着くことができます。
開始30分前に来るようにと書いてあったのですが、何もすることなく開始時間まで待たされて、30分前集合の意図が不明でした。
シュノーケルは、インストラクターがきちんと器具の扱いを含めて説明をしてくれてから始まるので、初心者には安心です。
近場で安全に、とりあえず試してみたいという方にお勧めします。
海は、あまりクリアではありませんでした。
I was lucky to see a Hawaiian monk seal that happened to come to the beach. It was my first time seeing a live monk seal.
I brought a friend who was a complete beginner at snorkeling, but the staff was very helpful, holding their hand and guiding them. My friend said they had a great time and it was a wonderful experience.
ハワイアンモンクシールがたまたまビーチに来ててラッキーでした。初の生モンクシールでした。
シュノーケル全く初心者の友達を連れてのシュノーケルでしたが、手を取って引っ張って頂いて大変お世話になりました。友達も楽しく、いい経験ができたと言ってました。
This is my fifth visit to Hawaii after four years, but it was my first time at Hanauma Bay. Having experienced snorkeling in Miyako Island and the Great Barrier Reef, I underestimated it. Perhaps due to my age, I struggled with breathing through my mouth and even got seasick, so I was very grateful for the guide's assistance. The guide held my hand the whole time and helped me see a lot of colorful fish. Because Hanauma Bay is protected by nature, you can observe the fish eating the food stuck to the rocks. Even at over 60 years old, I felt safe with the guide's support. However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.
ハワイは4年ぶり5回目になりますが、ハナウマ湾は初めて行きました。
宮古島やグレートバリアリーフでシュノーケルを体験していたので甘く考えていたら、歳のせいか口呼吸は上手くいかず、しかも波酔いまでしてしまいガイドさんに大変お世話になりました。
ガイドさんがずっと手を繋いで案内をしてくださり、色とりどりの魚をたくさん見ることができました。ハナウマ湾は自然が守られているため、魚が岩についた餌を食べている様子を見ることができます。
60歳を過ぎていてもガイドさんがサポートしてくださるので安心です。ただし、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでの参加をおすすめします。
The food was a buffet, so it felt about right, but the show was amazing! I thought the wait for the food was a bit long. The show was something you have to see when you come to Hawaii; it was truly fantastic!
お料理はブッフェだしこんなもんかなー、という感じでしたが、ショーが最高でした!
料理が出てくるまでの時間が少し長かったかな、と思います。
ショーは、ハワイにきたらこれは見なきゃ!という感じで、とても最高でした!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ オリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ショーも大変楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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。
We went with a group of good friends. We had such a good time. The waves were perfect. Will go again when we are in Oahu.
Aloha! The outrigger canoe is such a thrill, especially to experience together with good friends! We are so happy to hear the waves were perfect that day. We hope to have you back again sometime soon. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and leave us a 5 star rating. Mahalo
I was afraid of heights, but it wasn't scary at all. It was a really fun time. The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from up high. I definitely want to do it again!
高い所が苦手でしたが、全然怖くなかったです。
とっても楽しい時間でした。
天気も良くて高い所からワイキキを眺めることができてぜひともまたやってみたいです〜
I participated with my wife.
It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.
The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.
There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.
Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.
妻と二人で参加しました。
小型のボートで1時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。
同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。
上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います!晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。
総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。
I couldn't make a reservation on my own, so I asked Beltora, which I'm familiar with. The result was absolutely correct. The transportation, luggage, and procedures were stress-free. And above all, the precise and safe instruction during the transfers and at sea was truly appreciated. Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
個人での予約が出来ず慣れ親しんだベルトラさんに依頼 結果 大正解 移動 荷物 手続き等のストレスフリー そして何より移動中、また海での的確 安全 なインストラクティング いゃ〜ありがたかったです
千恵子さん ダンさん ありがとうございました
I had an amazing time the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & Honolulu city Tour was more than informative. Our tour guide was awesome and she just knew what she was doing and talking about. I would do it again with her as the tour guide. LEI Thank you for being soooooooooo informative.
It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.
The ticket booth was a bit hard to find, but a kind person nearby helped me out.
I don't understand English, but it was totally fine! My mother, who is in her 60s, was also very happy.
少し遠かったですが、砂浜沿いにワイキキから歩いていけました
もっと怖いかと思っていたのですが、とても気持ちよかったです!
ただ、船がかなり揺れるので乗り物酔いのある人にはきついかもしれません。前後の食事にも注意が必要です。
チケットブースが少し分かりづらかったのですが、近隣の親切な人が教えてくださいました。
英語はわかりませんが、全然大丈夫でした!
60代の母もとても喜んでいました。
It was a wonderful show that conveyed the performers' earnest desire to please the audience. It was breathtaking and moving. Thank you.
出演者たちの、客を喜ばせようとする懸命思いが伝わって来る素晴らしいショーでした。圧巻でした。感動しました。ありがとう
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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。
It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.
とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ?の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。
What an exciting adventure for our first-time parasailors! Our 8 & 5 year old granddaughters had the time of their lives parasailing with their Grammy! They loved seeing a green sea turtle as well as all the wonderful scenery of Oahu! The crew was kind and humorous. We had a wonderful experience!
