Positive Points
- The shuttle bus to the hotel is a dedicated trolley, which is easy to understand.
- You take a boat to reach the submarine, and the scenery is nice just offshore.
- Since it's just offshore, it's less likely to cause seasickness.
- It's a submarine, after all!!!
- You might see quite a bit.
- You can understand the current state of Hawaii's oceans and the various efforts being made to protect the sea.
Negative Points
- The fish visibility is quite low; if you expect to see fish up close to the windows, you might be disappointed. However, it is a very valuable experience to see the state of fish in nature and how they exist. You can feel the gap between the ocean on TV and the actual reality. Also, it depends on luck; I was able to see a sea turtle and a ray, but it seems there are times when you can see sharks as well. You might think that turtles are like Gamera in the ocean.
- There is a small invitation on the way back, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Even though the fish visibility is low, they do go around the wrecks, and you can actually see a lot of fish, so it's not really a bad point. Compared to the photos in the pamphlet, it might be a bit lacking... but this applies to everything.
They take photos at the entrance, but they sell them for $40 on the way back. Well, that's pretty common, right? However, for couples or as a memento of a honeymoon, the quality is good, so it's worth it. We bought one. Oh, and you might hear the name of a well-known airplane, too? (Sorry if I'm mistaken).
良かった点
・ホテルへの送迎バスが専用トロッコで、わかり易い。
・潜水艦に乗るまで、船で行くのですがちょっとした
沖合で景色が良い事。
・ちょっとした沖合なので船酔いしにくい。
・とにかく潜水艦!!!。
・結構見れるかな?。
・今のハワイの海の実態や、海を守るために色々な努力
がなされているという事実がわかります。
悪かった点
・とにかく魚影は薄いです、窓の近くで魚を見れると
思って行くとがっかりするかもしれなせん。
ただ、自然における魚の状態や有り様が見れるので、
とても貴重な体験だと思います。
テレビの中の海と実際の現実とのギャップを肌で
感じる事ができるでしょう。
またその時の運もあるでしょう、自分はウミガメと
エイをみれましたが、サメが見れる時もあるよう
ですね。
亀なんて、海の中のガメラってこんな感じなんだ
ろうなって思うこと請け合いです。
・帰りにちょっとした招待がありますがお勧めしません。
魚影が薄いとは言っても、ちゃんと沈没船などの周りを回っってくれて実際は多くの魚を見ることができるので、あまり悪い点とはいえないですね^^;。
パンフの写真とかと比べるとちょっと・・・というところでしょうか。まあこれは全てに当てはまるでしょう。
入り口で写真を撮ってくれるのですが、帰りに40ドルでうってくれます。まあよくある事ですよね。ただカップルや新婚旅行の記念としては、出来も良いのでいいのでは?自分たちは買って来ました。
あ、そうそう知る人ぞ知る飛行機の名前も出てくるかも知れませんよ?(間違いだったらごめんんさい^^;)。

You can enjoy Diamond Head and the deep blue sea with a different atmosphere than usual. However, those who are prone to seasickness definitely need to bring motion sickness medication.

We cruised until we reached the point where we boarded the submarine! The inside of the submarine was a bit cramped, and the windows were smaller than I expected, but I got to see the wreckage of a Japanese airplane that sank long ago and also spotted some sea turtles, experiencing something out of the ordinary.

The submarine tour felt a bit lacking in visibility and there seemed to be fewer schools of fish for someone like me who enjoys diving. However, the scenery during the boat ride to the submarine was amazing! Seeing Diamond Head and the hotel zone from the sea is such a wonderful experience.

We participated with my grandmother, children, and a couple, making a group of four. We were able to enjoy parasailing together. The staff on the boat mostly spoke English, but they occasionally spoke in Japanese to make sure we understood. After it was over, everyone applauded us, and we had a valuable experience. I would like to request this again for our next marine sports activity. Both the children and my grandmother were delighted. Thank you very much.

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

I had a great time. Perhaps because it was crowded during the summer season, I thought I would have a seat a bit closer... I think the show would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English. I wonder if it's easier to get seats if you arrive early? The food was delicious and served as a course. I enjoyed chatting with an elderly couple at the same table, and the time flew by. It was a fun experience since shows like this are quite rare in Japan.
いい時間を過ごしました。夏のシーズンで混んでるためなのか、もう少し前の席かと思ったのですが、、、英語がわかるともっと楽しいショーだったと思います。なるべく早く行った方が席は取りやすいのかな?料理もコースで美味しく頂きました。同じテーブルの年配夫婦とお話しながらで時間もあっという間でしたね。日本ではなかなか無いショーなので楽しかったです。

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!
18歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、360度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
6組のうち2組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのOさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

Diving into the sea in a submarine is something that rarely happens, so I had a very valuable experience.
Inside the submarine, we couldn't leave our seats, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the shark that was apparently visible from the opposite window. However, the submarine rotated to allow us to see five different points from both windows, so I was able to enjoy watching sleeping sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around the reefs.
The commentary on board was aimed at children, but I think it was enjoyable enough for adults as well. The relationship between sunlight underwater and the colors of the coral was very interesting.
After disembarking, I heard that we could see dolphins from the boat returning to the pier, but during the transition between trips, the boat rocked due to strong winds, and I got seasick, so I couldn't see them (TT).

Since my first pregnancy, I've been away from BB... My youngest is now four years old! He can play with Dad quite a bit, and since they can watch the kids, I finally got to try surfing, which I've wanted to do for a long time! ☆彡 The explanations about stance and everything were super easy to understand, and I had a really great experience! The teacher's personality was also fantastic!
By chance, I was the only student, so I was really lucky!
Honestly, the paddle training was tough, but the joy of finally being able to ride made it worth it, and I was able to push through!
When I return to Japan, I’ll work hard so that my husband and kids won’t make fun of me!!!

Before the experience, I read the reviews thoroughly and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick.
Regarding the tips, I had read that they should be paid on-site, so when I saw a paper in a visible spot on the boat saying "Please tip" in Japanese, I thought, "Ah, just like the reviews mentioned!" and was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
However, the costs were higher than I expected, which made me a bit nervous when I saw others going up, but once it was my turn, all fear disappeared, and I genuinely had a great time. The staff offers to take photos for $30 for those who want them, but we decided to take turns with a nearby group of Japanese tourists. It was truly moving, so I highly recommend you try it!
体験にあたり、こちらのクチコミをよく読んでからのぞんだこともあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで行ったので船酔いはしませんでした。
チップについても、実は現地で払うようだということも読んでから行ったので、船のよく見えるところに「チップをお願いします」ということが日本語で書かれた紙が貼られているのをみても「あっクチコミに書いてあったとおりだ!」と思うくらいで、気持ちよく楽しんでくることができました。
ただ、思っていた以上に本当に高くあがるので、他の方があがっているのを見て少し緊張しましたが、自分の番になれば全然恐怖心も吹き飛び、心の底から楽しかったです。カメラは、スタッフの方が希望者に30ドルで撮影してくれるのですが、私達は隣の日本人のグループとお互いに取り合うことにしました。本当に感動できるので、ぜひ体験してみてください!

The show and dinner were all great, although the difference between booking premiere and regular show seems only to make sure that you have a front table. I was very lucky to sit with a family from Canada who were very friendly and welcoming. This show has seating at large round tables, and so as an individual realize that you are going to be sitting with someone else.
The show itself was first rate and the singers and dancers put their all to it. There is a small part of the show at the beginning that really didn't make sense where they played like to the were doing work in a village....they should let the dancers and singers rest and abandon this part.
This is an expensive but on Waikiki event, no bus to ride on, but let me share with you if you are in the restaurant right next to the show, or are on the public beach behind the show you could see the whole thing for free!

I participated with a friend. The view from the air was great, and we could see Diamond Head in its entirety. The wind felt nice, and it didn't feel too bumpy. Since we took off from the boat, I thought I wouldn't get wet today, but just then, we slowed down and I got splashed into the sea (laughs).
However, since we went out on a small boat that holds about a dozen people, it was quite rocky, and because we went in groups of 2-3, I think you would get really seasick if you don't take motion sickness medication while waiting.
Photos were $30, but not many people ordered them; instead, we took turns taking pictures with the others on board.
The staff were cheerful and fun, and I think this is a great activity for families. I want to do it again!
友達と2人で参加してきました。
空中では見晴らしがよく、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望出来ました。風が気持ちよく、あまり揺れている感じはしませんでした。ボートから飛び立つので、今日は濡れないな~と思った矢先、スピードを落として海に落っことされました(笑)
ただ、10数人乗りの小さな船で沖に出るので揺れが激しく、2~3人ずつ順番に行うので、酔い止めを飲んでおかないと待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔うと思います。
写真は30ドルでしたがみんなあまり頼まずに、同乗している方達と写真を交代で取り合っていました。

It was a hotel near the shop, so I went there on my own time to participate. I have some experience, but since I was participating alone, I had an instructor with me, which made it easy to surf! We were able to use Kuhio Point, which is just a bit to the left of the shop, almost exclusively. During the lesson, they took photos, and later they sell a DVD with images of all participants for $30. At one point, the owner, Mr. Hands, came by and did some paddle surfing. Everyone was able to ride the waves relatively easily, and the staff were kind. I recommend this for anyone who wants to casually experience surfing!

多少経験者ですが一人参加だったので、インストラクターについてもらい、安心してサーフィンできました!

My daughter (21 years old) was thrilled and said she could ride it over and over again. It's safe and incredibly fun!! If I had to mention one thing, be cautious of seasickness. While waiting for all the passengers to finish their experience, you might feel unwell on the swaying boat like a leaf...
