All Reviews for For 12 Year Olds

For our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, we chose parasailing as our activity! My husband has a fear of heights, but the view was so beautiful that he was completely fine! It seems that he was more impressed, saying, "Wow, this is amazing!" The transportation to the hotel was also very helpful, and what made me happiest was that they took so many photos that we couldn't have captured ourselves and sold them to us! We made the best memories! Thank you very much!

一生に一度のハネムーンで選んだアクティビティはパラセーリング！
旦那は高所恐怖症だったけど、景色が綺麗すぎて全然大丈夫でした‍♀️！それより「うわーすげー綺麗！」と感動の方が大きかったみたいです(^ ^)そしてホテルまでの送迎もとても助かりましたし、何より自分達じゃ撮れない写真をたくさん撮ってくれてメディアを売ってくれたことが何より嬉しかったです！最高の思い出ができました！ありがとうございました！

Since my husband was busy, I mostly searched for and decided on the optional tours myself. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the show; my main goal was dinner. As I researched, I realized that Hawaii is quite expensive. Even a little drink and food at a casual restaurant could easily cost around $50 per person... So, considering the price with the show included, I thought it might be worth it, especially since the reviews were good, and I made the reservation almost on my own.

We chose the most expensive option, the Green Room. First, we were taken to the VIP room, where a beautiful woman welcomed us with a pre-dinner drink and pupu (snacks). Then, Elvis made a grand entrance for a photo opportunity before swiftly leaving, but unfortunately, he didn't resemble him much. While we were waiting, another man appeared to guide us backstage, explaining the dancers' costumes and props as he walked us through the narrow backstage area. I was surprised by how heavy the costumes and props were.

After that, we were shown to our table, right in the front and center. Lobster was already on the table. We enjoyed drinks and the dishes that were brought out one after another. I'm sorry to say that the taste of all the meals, starting from the first pupu, was disappointing (the steak and dessert, the pineapple ice, were delicious).

Once we finished our leisurely dinner, it was showtime. Suddenly, someone descended from above, which surprised us! The Hawaiian show began. The dancers were all handsome and beautiful, and of course, their dancing was wonderful! With Hawaiian music playing, we really felt like we were in Hawaii, and then Elvis appeared again. Michael also made an appearance! He resembled Michael from his childhood (^_^). After a pretty packed show, suddenly a person holding a fire stick appeared. The fire knife dance was truly breathtaking. In the end, everyone waved goodbye with an ALOHA.

To be honest, the impersonators didn't look much like the originals, and some people might not even know who Elvis is, but the performance was fantastic. It was thoroughly enjoyable as entertainment, and I was even more moved since I didn't have high expectations. On our way out, we received the photo with Elvis, and we said goodbye to the performers at the exit. This photo was included, while others had to pay an additional $25, so this package might be a better deal. Furthermore, since we signed up for the monitor experience, we felt like we got even more value.

However, I deducted one star because of the disappointing meal, but I suppose that can be considered part of the Hawaiian experience. My husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic about this tour at first, ended up being more impressed than I was (^_^). For first-time visitors to Hawaii, it's a great way to enjoy the island, and even for those who have been multiple times, it's a wonderful show, so I highly recommend it.

夫が忙しかったため、オプショナルツアーはほとんど私が探して決めました。
正直言ってディナー目的で、ショーにはそれほど期待はありませんでした。
色々調べていると、物価の高いハワイ 。ちょっとしたレストランでちょっと飲んで食べても1人50はいってしまいそう…とするとショー付きでこの金額ならいいかもしれないな〜くらいの気持ちで、口込みの評判が良かった事もありほぼ独断で申し込みました。

私達が選んだのは1番高いGreen Room 。
まずVIPルームに通され、美しい女性に食前酒とププ(おつまみ)でもてなされ、そこへ颯爽とプレスリーが登場し記念写真を撮ってまた颯爽と去って行きましたが残念ながら似ていませんでした。そうこうしていると、別の男性がバックステージの案内に現れて、ダンサーの衣装や小道具の説明をしながら狭いステージ裏を回ります。思いのほか衣装や小道具が重かったのには驚きでした。

それが終わってテーブル席に案内されると、1番前のど真ん中。
すでにロブスターがテーブルに。ドリンクをいただき、次々に運ばれてくるお料理。
ごめんなさい、最初のpupuに始まり全てのお食事の味は残念でした。(ステーキとデザートのパインアイスは美味しかった)

ゆっくりディナーが終わると、ショータイムです。
すると突然上から人がスルスル降りてきてビックリ！ハワイアンショーの始まりです。ダンサーは美男美女揃いで、もちろん踊りも素晴らしい！
ハワイアンミュージックで、ハワイに来たんだ感が盛り上がったところで、さっきのプレスリー登場。
マイケルも登場！子供の時のマイケルに似てました(^_^)
ここまで、けっこう盛りだくさんのショーの後半、突然火の棒を持った人が現れます。
ファイアーナイフダンスは、本当に息を飲む迫力です。
最後に、全員でALOHA〜と手を振りお別れ。
本当のところソックリさんはあまり似ていないし、そもそもプレスリーを知らない人もいるけれど、パフォーマンスは最高です。
エンターテインメントとしては充分楽しめるもので、期待していなかった分余計に感動しました。
帰りに、出来上がったプレスリーとの写真をいただき、出口で出演者たちとお別れ。
この写真は、他のコースの方達は別に25払っていたので込み込みのこちらの方がお得かもしれません。
さらに、私達はモニター体験で申し込んだので、お得感倍増です。

ただ、お食事が残念で星１つマイナスしましたが、それもハワイらしさと思えば良いのでしょう。
初めこのツアーにそれほど乗り気ではなかった夫の方が、私よりも感激していました(^_^)
ハワイ初めての方はハワイを満喫、何度目かの方も素晴らしいショーを堪能できるのでおススメです。

I was anxious because I'm not good at English, but it was fine since they spoke to me in broken Japanese! They had consent forms and instructions available in Japanese, so I think it's totally okay even if you can't speak any English. I went flying with my 67-year-old mother at 120 meters, and she was thrilled because it wasn't scary and was just the right height. However, the boat swayed quite a bit! I tend to get motion sickness, so even after taking motion sickness medication, I felt nauseous by the end. If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely take strong medication! They asked each group, "Do you want to take photos?" with a telephoto camera, so if you say no, you won't be photographed. It seemed like you could buy the photos on the way back if you asked. It was written that you could choose whether to land in the water or not, but no one was asked, and everyone landed in the water, which was a bit disappointing. It felt uncomfortable to get into the car while still wet. At the end, they said, "If you had a good time, please give a tip," so everyone was giving $20. I think it's good to prepare that in advance. Since it finishes in the morning, you have the whole afternoon free. The content and schedule were great!

英語が得意でないため不安でしたが、カタコトの日本語で話してくれるので大丈夫でした！同意書も説明書も日本語が用意されてるし、まったく英語を話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。67歳の母と120mで飛びましたが、怖くなく、ちょうどいい高さだと母も大喜びでした。ただ、船はかなり揺れます！私は酔いやすいので酔い止めを飲んでも最後は気持ち悪くなりました。酔いやすい方は必ず強力な酔い止めを！！望遠カメラを持って「写真ハ？トリマスカ？」と一組ずつ聞いてくれるので、ノーと言えば撮られません。お願いすれば、帰りに買うことができるようでした。着水するかどうかは選択できると書いてありましたが、聞かれることはなく、全員着水だったので、ちょっと残念でした。濡れたまま車に乗るのは気持ち悪かったです。最後は「ヨカッタ方はチップをお願イシマース」と言われますので、全員20ドル渡してました。用意しておいたほうがいいと思います。午前で終わるので午後は丸々空きます。内容もスケジュール的にもよかったです！！

This whole show was amazing and I know I will go back again it was so worth it. If I'd not seen the originals it would be great but having seen them this was absolutely awesome and so much like the originals

We boarded the boat and set off.
The boat sways quite a bit when the waves are high, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to getting seasick.

The sky was pleasant, and I enjoyed the scenery.
I was a bit scared and chose the 90-meter option, but I should have gone for the 150 meters.

ボートに乗り込み、出発しました。
波が高いとボートは結構ゆれるので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおく事をお勧めします。

上空は気持ちよく、景色も楽しめました。
怖いかなと思い、90メートルの選択をしましたが、150メートルにすればよかったです。

At first, I was anxious because there were no Japanese people around, but the staff explained things in Japanese here and there, which made me feel at ease. It was my first time parasailing, so I was quite nervous, but it was fun. I think those who are prone to motion sickness should take some anti-nausea medication. When I looked down from 120 meters, it was a bit scary, but looking far away, the view was amazing and felt great!

最初日本の方が1組もおられず不安でしたが、スタッフの方が所々日本語で説明して下さり安心しました。
パラセーリング自体は初めてだったので不安ばかりでしたが楽しかったです。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思いました。
120メートルにして、下を見たら少し怖かったですが遠くを見るとすごく眺めが良くて気持ちよかったです！

Parasailing lasts about 5 minutes. The view is amazing.
You will definitely get wet as you are dropped into the sea for photos. It's not scary.
If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication.
I usually don't get seasick, but I felt completely nauseous.
It's fine while you're parasailing, but be careful as you might get seasick when other guests are parasailing.
There will be a camera shoot on the day. You can get around 70 photos for $30, and you'll also receive a 512MB SD card.

パラセーリングは約5分程度。景色最高。
写真撮影のために海に必ず落とされるので濡れる。怖くはない。
船酔いが心配な人は薬を服用した方がよい。
酔わない方だけど完璧に酔った。
パラセーリング中はよいが、ほかの客がパラセーリングしている時は船酔いする可能性があるので注意が必要。
当日カメラ撮影がある。$30で70枚弱撮ってもらえる。SDカード512mbごともらえる。

My wife and I, both in our forties, took our very first trip to Hawaii, and on the first night, we attended this show with VIP dinner seating. To sum up my feelings in one word: "a series of moving experiences."

First, the VIP dinner. I’m just an ordinary office worker, and participating in a dinner show from a VIP seat is something I’ve never experienced in Japan. It all started with a warm welcome, including a greeting from a star and a welcome drink, showcasing a touch of elegance. Next, we took our seats for dinner. The combination of lobster and tenderloin steak is something you wouldn’t find in Japan. The taste was also GOOD (I struggled a bit with cracking the unfamiliar lobster shell. There was one wet towel at our seat, but it wasn’t enough. My own wet towel came in handy).

Even from the general seating, you can see the performers' faces clearly. We chose the dinner option due to our anxiety about not knowing where to eat on our first day in Hawaii, but there are plenty of places to eat in the heart of Hawaii, and most have Japanese menus. So, for those who want to enjoy the show at a lower price, I think you can have a great time from the general seating without dinner.

The show was very much in line with America's reputation as an entertainment powerhouse. It mainly consisted of "hula dance," "fire dance," and "superstar" performances. While there are hula shows in Japan, the authentic experience is on another level. I could have watched it forever. The fire dance featured performers spinning sticks engulfed in flames with incredible speed, creating a whirlwind of emotion. And then there was the superstar, Michael Jackson, with his sharp dance moves. I never got to see him live, but this was more than enough to get us excited. I highly recommend this show for people of all ages.

アラフォー夫婦２人で人生初のハワイ旅行、その初日の夜にこのショーのディナーＶＩＰ席で参加しました。感想を一言で申せば「感動の連続」です。
先ずはディナー付ＶＩＰ。私は一般的な会社員。ディナーショーをＶＩＰ席で参加など日本では未体験の領域です。スターの出迎え、ウェルカムドリンクなど洒落のきいたおもてなしから始まります。次に席に着いてディナー。ロブスター＆テンダロインステーキという日本ではありえないコラボ。味もＧＯＯＤでした（慣れないロブスターの殻割りに苦戦。濡れおしぼり１枚は席にありましたが、足りない。持参していたＭＹ濡れおしぼりが活躍）
尚、一般席であっても演出者の顔がはっきりわかるくらいの近さです。私達は初のハワイ旅行初日で食事するところが解らないという不安からディナー付を選択しましたが、場所的にハワイの中心地で食べるところは沢山あり、日本語メニューが大多数なのでこのショーを格安で見たい方はディナーなしの一般席でも楽しめると思います。
ショーはエンターテイメント大国アメリカらしいものでした。主には「フラダンス」「ファイアーダンス」「スーパースター」で構成されています。日本でもフラショーはありますが、本場は一味違います。いつまでも見ていたい。ファイアーダンスは炎につつまれた棒を目に止まらぬ早業でくるくると回し、感動の渦でした。そしてスーパースター　マイケルジャクソンのキレッキレのダンス、本人のライブには行けませんでしたが、これで十分に盛り上がることができました。老若男女問わずおすすめしたいショーです。

After gathering at the harbor next to the Hilton, we set out to sea at full speed on a boat, and before we knew it, we were equipped and soaring into the sky. We had a 6-year-old child with us, but my wife and I were able to fly together with him. Up to a few meters high, the child was laughing, but as we rapidly ascended, his face stiffened and his voice trembled (laughs). We managed to encourage him (though we were scared too) and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu. They take photos of you in the air, and you can purchase the SD card with those pictures. I think it was around $30. After the tour, they ask for tips. The atmosphere makes it hard to refuse, which raises some concerns. We reached 90 meters, which was quite a height. It became a wonderful memory.

ヒルトン横のハーバーに集合後、全速力のボートで沖に出て、あっという間に装置装着され、あっという間に大空に。
6歳の子連れでしたが、妻と合わせて3人で飛ぶことができました。
数ｍの高さまでは子供も笑っていましたが、そこから一気に上昇すると顔がこわばり声が震えてきました（笑）
なんとか励ましながら（こちらも怖かったのですが）ホノルルの美しい景色を眺めながら楽しむことができました。
空中の姿を写真に撮っていただけるので、そのＳＤカードは購入可能です。
確か30ドルだったかな。
ツアー終了後、チップをお願いされます。
断れない雰囲気になるので、それはいかがなものかと。
９０ｍでしたが十分の高さでした。
いい思い出になりました。

On the second day in Hawaii, we received a call from the hotel that our plans were canceled due to a storm. We had the option to change our plans for the next day or get a refund, but I really wanted to participate in parasailing, which I was looking forward to the most, so I changed the schedule to the next day. Thank you for your quick response to the sudden change.

The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms, and I was half resigned to it, but the next day, to my surprise, it was clear skies! According to the bus driver, the captain of the boat that day was the number one captain! The weather was perfect! He said we were lucky (^ ^)♩

The tour guides only spoke English, but all five groups were Japanese couples, which made it comfortable. I had a great time chatting with a couple from Kansai, thank you! I hope the photos I took catch their eye (＾ν＾)☆

The scenery was beautiful, and I felt no fear at all. I even had the leisure to chat and take videos while flying! The driver called us a crazy couple… (laughs) I personally got a bit nauseous even after taking motion sickness medication, so it's essential to take it.

We tipped $20 for the two of us. I mentioned that we would buy the photos in advance, and it was $30 for 70 photos, paid by credit card for $35!

On the way back, we received flower hair clips and juice! Thank you to the cute and cheerful driver for the fun (^ ^)

This time we did 120 meters, but I want to challenge 150 meters next time! Thank you, Veltra, for your prompt response and the staff for creating wonderful memories! Sorry for the long message. (laughs)

ハワイに来て2日目、朝から暴風のため中止の電話がホテルに入りました。
次の日の変更、またはキャンセル返金と選べましたが一番に楽しみにしていたパラセーリングにどうしても参加したく、予定を変更し次の日にしてもらいました。急な変更にも迅速に対応して下さいましたありがとうございます。
天気予報では雷雨、半分なかば諦めていましたが次の日、起きてみてびっくり晴天！！
バスの運転手さんいわく今日の船の運転手さんはナンバーワンキャプテン！天気もパーフェクト！ラッキーだねと言っていました(^ ^)♩
添乗員さん方は英語しか話せませんでしたが5組
全員が日本人で皆さん夫婦で気持ちも楽でした☆関西から来られた方と仲良く話せてとても楽しかったですありがとうございます！写真撮っていたので目に入るといいなー（＾ν＾）☆

景色もよく、怖いという感覚もゼロ。飛びながら喋ったり、動画を撮る余裕もありました！運転手さんにクレイジーカップルだねと言われましたが…（笑）
あと私自身もですが酔い止めを飲んでも少し酔ったので酔い止め必須です。
チップは２人で20＄払いました。写真はあらかじめ買いますと伝えて、70枚で30＄、クレジットで払って35＄でした！

帰りのバスでお花の髪留めとジュースをもらいました！可愛くておちゃめな運転手さん、楽しませてくれてありがとう(^ ^)

今回は120メートルでしたが次は150に挑戦したいです！！ベルトラさん、迅速な対応とスタッフさん方最高な思い出となりましたありがとうございました！長文すみません。笑

I reserved a ticket because it was highly recommended in Sho Aikawa's book, and I thought, really?? But just as my brother said, it was great!! As soon as I entered the store, a lively Elvis greeted us with a pose. The high level of Elvis's singing, MJ's dancing, the beautiful and fun hula, the impressive fire dance, and the excitement when Elvis came down to the audience to drape leis and scarves over us created a fantastic atmosphere; the hour flew by. Just as Sho Aikawa wrote, I enjoyed a wonderful show. I will definitely go again when I come back to Hawaii!

哀川翔さんの本で、熱く推薦されていたので、ほんと？？と思いながら予約しましたが、兄貴のいうとおり、よかった！！です。お店にはいるや、ギンギンのエルビスがポーズを決めてお出迎え。エルビスの歌唱力の高さ、MJのダンス、フラの美しく楽しい事、ファイアダンスの見事なこと、また、エルビスが客席に降りてきてレイやスカーフをかけてくれるサービスには歓声があがって、大盛り上がり、1時間はあっという間でした。哀川翔さんの書いている通り、素敵なショーを楽しませていただきました。またハワイに来たら行きます！

We participated in the VIP+ Backstage Tour. There were only the two of us on this course! It was a fun and unique experience that gave us a sense of superiority. The delicious cocktails and lobster were amazing! The main dishes—steak, salmon, and truffle potatoes—were all delicious! Unfortunately, since we are not from the Elvis generation, there were many photos of Michael Jackson instead. We enjoyed it from the front row, center seats. The Hawaiian female singer, female dancers, and male dancers were impressive! The dining staff also engaged with us. It felt great. The first photo taken with Elvis was included (which costs 2500 yen if you don't participate in the backstage tour), so it was definitely worth the price.

VIP+バックステージツアーに参加。このコース参加は我々夫婦二人だけ！未体験の初体験で優越感もあって楽しかったです。美味しいカクテル、ロブスター美味しい！メインのステーキ、サーモン、トリュフポテト、全部美味しい！残念ながら、エルビス世代ではないので、やっぱり、マイケル・ジャクソンの写真撮影多数。一番前の中央かぶりつきシートで堪能しました。ハワイアンも女性シンガー、女性ダンサー、男性ダンサー、迫力有り！食事のスタッフも声をかけてくれます。いい感じです。最初にエルビスと撮った写真が含まれていて（バックツアー参加してないと2500円）、価格的には充分な価値有ります。

I had my first overseas trip and my first surfing experience. The instructor was kind, and even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves decently within an hour! If I go on my next trip to Hawaii, I would like to request Hands Heideman!

初の海外旅行、初のサーフィン体験をしました。インストラクターの方も優しく、初めての私でも1時間でそこそこ乗れる？所までなりました！ 次回のハワイ旅行に行くなら、ハンズ・ヒーデマンでお願いしたいです！

On October 7th, my wife and I participated during our honeymoon. The location is inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in the heart of Waikiki, which allowed us to enjoy it leisurely after shopping. After checking in, we entered through the VIP entrance and enjoyed a welcome drink and dinner! The food was very good, and there were Japanese staff members, which made us feel at ease! The show featured traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and even an appearance by MJ, which captivated the audience. It was a very exciting and enjoyable time! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

10月7日、新婚旅行中に妻と参加させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあり、ワイキキの中心部ということで買い物終わりにゆっくりと楽しむことができました。
受付を済ませてVIP専用入口から入り、ウエルカムドリンク、夕食を楽しみました！味もとてもよかったうえ、日本人のスタッフもいますので、安心できました！！
ショーは、ハワイの伝統のフラダンスあり、ＭＪ？笑の登場もあり、観客を魅了するショーとなっており、とても盛り上がり、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！

What a fabulous way to begin a vacation in Oahu! The Captain and Tour Director we’re knowledgeable, generous and entertaining. They made the first day of our vacation even more special than my husband and I imagined! Thank you!!

when we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greet us. we then went into the venue for appetizers, which were well presented and very tasty. when we went into the main stage area we could not believe the position of our seat. right in front of the stage. the meal was exquisite and all 4 courses were cooked to perfection. when the show started the production was amazing. it was choreographed like a Broadway show. the Elvis impersonator sounded great and really looked the part. When he went through the crowd during "Suspicious Minds" he kept laughing between lyrics, just like Elvis did in his live performances. a simple touch but excellent attention to detail. We also had a Michael Jackson performer who was also very good and entertaining. His 'Moon Walk' routine was spot on.

Overall it was an exceptional evening out that beat all our expectations

Even the regular seating had great views so it doesn't matter which meal plan you book, just book it you will not be disappointed !!!

My husband is not good with heights, so we participated in a tour that was 110 meters high. There were five groups on the same boat, including us, with two groups being Japanese. The boat ride to the parasailing location was quite bumpy, so I strongly recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication. Thanks to the motion sickness medication I took, I was able to enjoy the ride on the sea.

While there were moments when we were slightly swayed by the wind up in the air, it was generally very stable, allowing us to enjoy the distant scenery at a leisurely pace. I was told that photos would be taken on an SD card for about $30, but we decided not to request them. However, now that I think about it, I wish we had asked for some photos of ourselves while we were up in the air, as we couldn't take any ourselves. Most people took photos from the air with their own cameras. If you put your smartphone in a waterproof case and hang it around your neck, you can bring it up with you.

When coming down from the air to the boat, they asked us how wet we wanted to get, with options like not getting wet at all, up to the knees, waist, shoulders, or head. We chose to get wet up to our knees, but there were others who enjoyed getting fully soaked up to their shoulders. For those with a fear of heights, it may not be highly recommended depending on the severity of their fear. My husband said it was a good experience, but he seemed quite scared.

There were also participants who were a mother with two children, so I think children over elementary school age can enjoy it together.

主人が高所が苦手なため高さ110mのツアーに参加しました。
同じボートには私たちを含めて5組が乗船していて日本人が2組でした。
パラセーリングをする場所までの移動は船がかなり揺れるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲むことを強くおすすめします。
私は酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、海上での移動中も楽しめました。
上空では少し風にあおられる時もありましたが、基本的にはとても安定していて遠くの景色をゆっくり楽しむことができました。
写真はSDカードに100枚ほど記録してくれて30ドルと言われましたが、お願いしませんでした。ただ、自分たちが上空にいる時の写真は自分たちでは撮れないので、今思うと記念にお願いすればよかったかなとも思います…。
上空からの写真はほとんどの人が自分のカメラで撮っていました。
防水ケースに入れて首から下げるようにすればスマホも上空まで持っていけます。
上空からボートに降りてくるときにまったく濡れない、ひざ下までジャポン、腰まで、肩まで、頭まで、と細かく希望を聞いてくれました。
私たちはひざ下にしましたが、肩までしっかりジャポンしている人たちもいて楽しんでいました。
高所恐怖症の方はその度合いにもよりますが、あまりおすすめしません。
良い経験になったとは言っていましたが、主人はかなり怖かったようです(^^;
良くご相談ください。
ママとお子さん2人の3人で参加されている方もいましたので、小学生以上のお子さんであれば一緒に楽しめると思います。

This was my second time in Hawaii. While I admired the surfers riding the waves with such ease, I was filled with anxiety about handling a longboard and the rules in the water, so I thought it would be dangerous and decided to participate in a lesson with my husband.

Even as people in their 40s, we were able to fully enjoy the surfing experience thanks to the kind coaches who sent us out at the best timing for the good waves.

The next day, I thought about renting a board at the beach, but a local Japanese person warned me, "It's very dangerous, so be careful!" and I decided against it. I'm really glad I signed up for this group lesson. I highly recommend it.

2回目のハワイ。気持ちよさそうに波乗りをするサーファーに憧れる一方、ロングボードの扱い方、海の中でのルールなど不安なことだらけだったのでやっぱり危ないだろうなぁと思い、こちらのレッスンに夫婦で参加しました。
40代の私たちも親切なコーチが順番にいい波にベストなタイミングで送り出してくださったので、波乗り気分は充分に味わえました。
次の日にビーチでボードを借りようかなと思ったのですが、ローカルの日本人に「とっても危ないので気をつけて‼︎」と言われ、借りるのは断念しました。こちらのグループレッスンに申し込んでおいて、本当に良かったと思います。お勧めします。

This is for first-timers.
The staff will push the board for you, so anyone can ride the waves.
You can get a feel for the take-off.
Since you ride the waves in order at the same spot and can't choose your own waves, it's recommended for anyone who has done it at least once to take a private lesson.

初めての方用です。
スタッフがボードを押してくれるので、誰でも波に乗れます。
テイクオフの体感をつかむことができます。
同じ場所で順番に波に乗るので、自分で波を選ぶことができないため、1回でもやったことがある人は個人レッスンがおすすめです。

The location is the central spot in Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian. When I arrived, there was a hotel staff strike demonstration nearby. I worried about how much inconvenience it would cause for the guests staying there, and feeling down due to the noise, I headed to the venue. When the time came, I was welcomed with fresh hula and Mai Tai drinks. My gloomy mood was instantly lifted, and my excitement for the event reached its peak. I was escorted to the VIP seats by the stage, enjoyed the main dish, and was fully satisfied as the showtime began. The motivation was at its highest during the hula and Elvis shows. Sweet memories of my adolescence resurfaced, and for some reason, tears started flowing uncontrollably! At the exit, I took commemorative photos with the hula girls and Elvis. It was a very satisfying show.

場所はワイキキの中心スポット、ロイヤルハワイアン。ヘーゴッパで向かったところ、周辺ではホテルスタッフのストライキデモ。宿泊のゲストにどれ程の迷惑何だろうか心配し、余りの喧騒に憂鬱になりながら会場へ。時間になると、生フラとマイタイのウエルカムドリンクがお出迎え。憂鬱な気分は即座に払拭され、イベントへの期待感は最高潮へ、ステージサイドのVIP席へエスコートされ、メインディッシュに舌鼓を打ち、腹は満腹で迎えたショータイム。フラやエルビスのショーにモチベーションは最高潮に。思春期の甘い思い出が蘇り、何故か大粒の涙が堰を切って大洪水に！　出口ではフラガールやエルビスと記念写真。大満足のショーでした。

It was my first experience in a state where I couldn't have a conversation, but it was no problem at all. Since I have a fear of heights, I chose to go up to 110 meters, but I think I could have gone higher without any issues. Although we were off the coast of Waikiki, one of the reasons I was satisfied was that I could see the very beautiful deep blue sea, which is different from the coastal area. There were 14 people on the boat, including two staff members. It was a small boat, but we were able to lift off without getting our swimsuits wet, and my sunglasses didn't fall off either. Some people even brought cameras, and we comfortably enjoyed parasailing. It was very stable in the air, and it was nothing but "pleasant." The media fee for the photos (SD card cost) was high, but they took many pictures, and I think I can use one of them as the best shot for my New Year's card.

I was fine, but since we were out at sea for a while, I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

会話ができない状態で初めての体験でしたが全然問題ありませんでした。高所恐怖症なので110ｍにしましたが、もっと高くても大丈夫だったと思います。ワイキキの沖合でしたが、沿岸部とは違って非常にきれいな群青色の海が見れたことも満足した要因の一つです。ボートにはスタッフ２名を入れて14名が乗船。小型のボートでしたが水着も一切ぬれることなくその場から浮揚し、サングラスも落ちることなく、中にはカメラを持つ方もいて、快適にパラセイリングを楽しめました。空ではとても安定していて「気持ちいい」以外の何ものでもありません。撮影のメディア（ＳＤ代金）は高かったですが、何枚も撮影してくれていて年賀状のベストショットにできそうです。
　私は大丈夫でしたが、しばらくの間、沖合にいるので、酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくことをおすすめします。

It was thrilling with stunning views. For an additional $20, you can get an SD card with around 70 photos. It would have been even better if the flying time was a bit longer.

スリルと絶景で大興奮でした。
プラス20ドルで70枚前後の写真を収めたSDカードが貰えます。
もう少し飛ぶ時間が長ければ、なお良かったかな。

I participated in the evening, and the weather was really nice, so it felt great! I enjoyed myself both on the boat and in the sky! This is definitely worth repeating! It was a shame that the meeting place was hard to find.

夕方に参加しましたが、とてもいい天気でとにかく気持ち良かったです！
船の上でも空の上でもとにかく楽しめました！
これは、リピート間違いなし！
集合場所が、わかりにくかったのが残念です。

I made a reservation through SUP and brought the voucher, but it seemed the staff wasn't very familiar with it, and initially, they mistook it for a rental. They also said that due to the waves that day, SUP would be dangerous, that there would be no refund for cancellations, and suggested switching to surfing. I thought it was a shame that I wouldn't get my money back if the weather prevented us from doing it.

The Japanese staff at the reception wasn't very friendly, which was a bit disappointing.

The instructor was kind and great. I was able to ride the waves. However, since there were many people around, it felt a bit dangerous as I was worried about colliding with someone. In a semi-private lesson, there are times when you end up alone, and you might be far from the instructor, so I think it's better for those who are anxious to opt for a one-on-one lesson.

I tried another surf school on a different day, and I found that one to be better, so I don't think I'll be returning here.

SUPで予約してバウチャーを持って行きましたが、受付があまり把握してない様子で、最初レンタルと勘違いされました。
また、その日の波だとSUPは危ない、キャンセル料はきかない、サーフィンに変えた方がいい、と言われ、サーフィンに。天候で出来ない場合にお金が戻らないのは勿体無いな、と思いました。
受付の日本人があまり愛想はなかったのが少し残念。

インストラクターは優しい良い方でした。波にも乗れました。ただ、場所的に人が多くいるので、ぶつかりそうで危なかったです。セミプライベートだと、どうしても1人になる時間があり、インストラクターと遠く離れるときがあるので、不安な方はマンツーマンにした方が良いかと思います。

別の日に他のサーフスクールでも体験し、そちらの方が良かったので、ここでのリピートはないかなと思います。

I made a reservation because I wanted to try it after seeing it on a Japanese TV show. The music was playing, and the staff were very energetic, which made it a lot of fun. I thought I would like to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii.

日本のテレビ番組でみたときにやってみたいと思い予約しました。
音楽も流れていて、スタッフさんたちもテンション高くてとても楽しかったです。
また次回ハワイに行ったときもやりたいなと思いました。

I was nervous about parasailing for the first time, but the view from above was amazing! The driver and the staff were friendly and it was a lot of fun. Just to be safe, I took some motion sickness medication. At first, it was calm, but then it got bumpy!

初めてのパラセイリングでドキドキでしたが、上からの景色が最高でした！ドライバーさんもスタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです。念のため、酔い止め飲んでおきました。初めは穏やかでしたが、揺れました！

I participated in a company trip. People in their 20s to 50s all enjoyed it. The staff entertained us while we were waiting, and it was truly a great memory!

会社の旅行で参加しました
20代〜50代どの年代も楽しめましたよ
待っている間もスタッフが楽しませてくれてましたし
本当いい思い出です！！

I'm not a fan of roller coasters that make my heart race, but I'm glad I chose the 150-meter one. I really enjoyed it. It goes up and then comes down quickly, so it feels like no time at all. You won't have any trouble even if you don't understand English. They explain how to secure yourself and the precautions in simple Japanese.

A tip is necessary; I gave it when I got off the boat. It's also mentioned in the frequently asked questions.

心臓がうく系のジェットコースターは苦手ですが、
これは１５０ｍを選んで良かったです。
楽しめました。
上がったらすぐに下がるので、あっという間です。
英語がわからなくても、全く困りません。
片言の日本語で、装着方法も注意点も言われます。

チップは必要です、船を降りるときに渡しました。

I made a reservation at the request of my mother, who is hesitant about diving and snorkeling.

We had a great time on the boat ride to the submarine, and the submarine that emerged from the sea was really cool!! The flow was smooth, and I think the pilot made sure there was no unfairness in seating positions! We were able to see sea turtles swimming from inside the submarine, and on the way back, we also saw dolphins! I thought it was a really valuable experience since the fish didn't escape as they do with snorkeling or diving!!

ダイビングやシュノーケルにおっくうな母のリクエストで予約しました。

潜水艦までのボートもすごく楽しむことができ、海中から現れる潜水艦はほんとにかっこよかったです！！
動線もスムーズで、座る位置での不公平がないように潜水艦を操縦してくださっていたのだと思います！
潜水艦の中からウミガメが泳いで行くのも見れて、帰りのボートではイルカもみることができました！
シュノーケルやダイビングより魚たちが逃げないのですごく貴重な体験だと思いました！！

The pickup time was around 10:45 instead of 10:30. I was worried if they were coming or if my reservation was not confirmed! They did arrive, but it would have been more enjoyable if they had come on time.

10時半のピックアップ時間が10時45分くらいでした。来るのか来ないのか、もしくは予約されてない？と不安なりました！
ちゃんと来てくれましたが、時間通りに来てたら楽しかったのになー
