I had no experience with surfing, but I participated with the feeling that it would be cool to surf in Hawaii. I can't speak English, but I think I was able to prepare the minimum necessary because the staff explained the precautions in Japanese during the video before the lesson. I could somewhat understand the lesson through English words. There were 8 of us with 2 instructors, but 4 of us were able to ride the waves right away, so it was effectively 1 instructor for every 2 people. My own performance wasn't great, but I had fun playing in the waves.

サーフィンは未経験でしたが、ハワイでサーフィンができたらカッコいいだろうなぁという感覚で参加しました。
英語は話せませんが、レッスン前のビデオでの注意事項、スタッフさんとが日本語で説明してくれたので必要最低限の準備はできたと思います。
レッスン自体は英単語でなんとなく理解できました。
8人で2人の先生でしたが、うち4人はすぐに波に乗れたので、実質2人に1人の先生に教えてもらいました。
私自身の出来は悪かったですが、波に遊ばれて楽しかったです。

I was really worried because my return flight was late at night, but I felt relieved when they came to pick me up on time. The airport was dark and hard to navigate.

帰りの便が深夜なのですっごく心配でしたが、時間通りお迎えにきてもらい安心しました。空港も暗くわかりにくい状態( ;∀;)

It was my first time going abroad with everything booked in advance. Previously, I had only made reservations for options, and while they picked me up, no one came to take me back ( ;∀;). This time, they arrived on time and made it easy for me to find them.

海外にすべて予約して行くのが、はじめてでしたが前にもオプションだけ取って行きましたが迎えは来ましたが帰りの迎えが来ない( ;∀;)今回は時間通りにわかりやすく迎えに来てくれました。

I saw in the reviews that there were few Japanese people, but coincidentally, the crew on our cruise included second-generation Japanese, so they felt very Japanese! The other two crew members were also friendly towards the Japanese guests, and we had a fantastic time! There were about ten Japanese participants as well! The scenery was amazing!

口コミを見ていると日本人が少ないとありましたが、
たまたまなのか私達がのったクルーズのクルーが2世の人で、もはや日本人でした！
その他2名のクルーも日本人に対して友好的で、すっごく楽しめました！参加の日本人も10名くらいはいました！景色も最高でした！

I couldn't board the bus I had reserved due to an unexpected event, so I called the Japanese-speaking phone number. When I explained the situation and requested a time change, they responded quickly! Thank you very much. I would like to make a reservation again when I go to Hawaii. The driver was also a wonderful person! The bus was full, with all the other passengers being foreigners except for us.

ハプニングで予約していたバスに乗れなくなり、日本語対応の電話番号に電話しました。
理由を話して時間変更をお願いしたら迅速に対応していただけました！本当にありがとうございました。またハワイに行く時は予約させていただきたいです。
運転手さんも素敵な方でしたよー！乗客はうちら以外皆外国の方で満員でした。

I had a great time starting with the Polynesian Show, followed by Presley and Michael! I would like to see it again when I travel to Hawaii!

ポリネスアンショーから始まり、プレスリー、マイケルととても楽しめました！
またハワイ旅行の時には、観たいと思っています！

It was my first time paragliding, but the staff were kind and attentive, making it a reassuring experience. It was the perfect activity for a 60th birthday celebration. Thank you very much!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切丁寧で安心して体験することができました。還暦祝いにはサイコーのアクティビティでした。　　ありがとうございました。

I was picked up about 15 minutes later than scheduled, but they made sure to take me to the airport safely. I was also happy when they spoke to me with a smile while unloading my luggage at the airport.

予定時刻より15分くらい遅れて、迎えがしましたが、しっかり空港まで送って下さいました。
空港について荷物を降ろしていただいた時にも笑顔で話しかけてくださって嬉しかったです。

The wind was strong, so the boat swayed more than I expected, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster! The scenery was also very beautiful, and it was a valuable experience. However, when I got off the boat, I found that the stroller I had left at the reception (or rather, I was told to leave it there and it was propped up at the reception) had been stolen. It was careless of me to bring it along.

風が強かったので、想像以上に船が揺れて、ジェットコースターにでも乗ったような感覚でした！景色もとても素敵で貴重な体験だったのですが、船から上がると、受付に預けていた(というか、ここに置いておいてと言われて、受付の所に立て掛けていた)ベビーカーが盗まれていたという。。持って行ったのは不用心でしたね(>_<)

It was the best sailing experience, enjoying a Mai Tai in hand! Shortly after departure, we were able to see turtles swimming.

This time, I participated with my mother, but it seems like it would be perfectly fine to join alone as well. There were just under 40 people on board, with only two other groups of Japanese participants. Most of the attendees were not Japanese, which added to the overseas atmosphere and made it even more enjoyable. It's completely fine if you don't understand English. Before boarding, we took a group photo, which can be purchased for $20 after disembarking for those who wish to.

You do get quite wet when boarding and disembarking. Those at the front of the boat (the side where you get on and off) got splashed directly by the waves and were pretty soaked. The sun was strong on the boat, but once we set sail, the wind felt really nice. As long as you apply sunscreen properly, sunburn shouldn't be an issue.

The boat does sway quite a bit during the trip, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some motion sickness medication to ensure you can enjoy the experience. A few people were struggling with seasickness.

It was so much fun and felt great, so I would like to participate in the sunset sailing next time.

マイタイ片手に楽しめる最高のセーリングでした！出航してまもなく亀が泳いでいるのを見ることができました。
今回は母と2人で参加しましたが、1人でも問題なく参加できそうです。
乗船人数は40人弱で他の日本人参加者は2組。日本人じゃない方がほとんどなのも、海外に来ている雰囲気をより味わえて楽しいです。英語はわからなくても全く問題ないです。乗船前にグループごとに記念撮影をし、希望者は下船後に20ドルで購入できます。
船に乗り降りする時に結構濡れます。また船の前方(乗り降りする側)にいた人達は波が直接かかるのでかなり濡れていました。船上は日差しが強いですが、出航してしまえば風がとても気持ち良かったです。日焼け止めをしっかり塗っておけば日焼けも問題なかったです。
船は途中結構揺れるので、船酔いが気になる方は酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が確実に楽しめます。何人か船酔いに苦しんでました。
とても楽しくて気持ち良かったので、今度はサンセットセーリングにも参加したいと思います。

My family and I were very impressed. We were able to see a kaleidoscope of fishes even a shark and leopard stingray. We were even able to see large leather back sea turtles. Definitely worth it

The staff, boat, and experience was awesome! The only thing I wish was a bit more clear is the check in time is actually 30 minutes before you load the boat. We walked and had to kill 30 minutes in the heat.

The first time I learned to surf was at Ala Moana, the second time in Lahaina on Maui, and this time I took lessons in Waikiki. There were so many people that I almost collided with others, and since I couldn't avoid them, I had no choice but to jump off my board, which was a bit scary. Well, since this is the birthplace of surfing, I guess it's to be expected. The waves were also higher this time, making it tough for the students. I definitely want to try again.

1回目はアラモアナで、2回目はマウイ島のラハイナ、そして今回はワイキキでサーフィンを習いました。人が多くてぶつかりそうになったり、よけられないからボードから飛び降りるしかないので少し怖かったです。まぁサーフィン発祥の地なので仕方ないかな、波も今回は高めなので、レッスン生にはきつかったです。またリベンジしたいと思います。

The guide, who was fluent in Japanese, taught us various things and made everything easy to understand! That guide was also fluent in English and Chinese. It was my first time on a submarine, so I was excited the whole time. However, I felt there were a bit fewer fish than expected, but I was very satisfied because I got to see a sea turtle! Being able to see the depths of the ocean at 30 meters was truly mystical! I highly recommend this tour!

日本語がペラペラなガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくださり、分かりやすかったです！そのガイドさんは英語、中国語もペラペラでした。
潜水艦は初めてだったので終始興奮でした
ただ、お魚がちょっと少なかったかなという印象でしたが海ガメにも出会えたのでとっても満足です‼️３０メートルも深い海の中を見ることができてとても神秘的です！おすすめツアーです！

The pickup from Waikiki Beachcomber to the airport was on time and included the tip, so it was easy without worrying about the tip.

ワイキキビーチコマー→空港
時間どおりのお迎えでチップも込みだったので
チップの心配をせず楽でした

The service was good. However, there was a delay of more than 15 minutes on the return trip. Since the voucher stated to contact them if we were 5 minutes late, I was quite anxious.

サービスも良かったです。
ただ、復路で15分以上の遅れがありました。
バウチャーに5分遅れたら連絡をと記載があったので、焦りました。

I participated with my partner. We traveled out to sea by boat, and the outstanding location for parasailing from there made for a precious moment. I highly recommend it, so definitely give it a try!

彼女と2人で参加しました。
船で沖まで移動して沖からの抜群のロケーションでパラセイリング貴重なひと時になりました。おすすめなので是非参加してみてください。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but the Atlantis Submarine was a first-time experience for me. There was Japanese audio available, but I didn't feel the need for it because the Japanese spoken by the guide was very interesting. I was very lucky to see both a sea turtle sleeping and swimming at the same time. The windows were smaller than I imagined, so it was definitely the right choice to book the "Premium Plan with Larger Windows."

何回もハワイへ行っていますが、アトランティス潜水艦は初めての体験でした。日本語のオーディオが用意されていましたが、実際にお話する方の日本語が非常に面白かったため、必要性を感じませんでした。
海ガメが寝ているところと実際に泳いでいるところをダブルで見られ、とてもラッキーでした。
窓は想像よりも小さかったため、『窓が大きいプレミアムプラン』を予約していて大正解です。

The arrival flight was delayed by over an hour from the scheduled time, arriving just past 1 PM. The bus to the center of Waikiki did not arrive even after waiting for more than 30 minutes, and we were left waiting without any explanation. When I asked how much longer we would have to wait, I was answered with a reluctant "30 minutes," which left me feeling upset, and I considered taking a taxi instead. Delays in flights can be anticipated, and I had repeated my choice thinking that the smaller bus from a certain major travel company, which promised to deliver us to our destination faster by limiting stops to five hotels, would be a better option, but I was disappointed by the outcome.

到着便が出発から遅れたので、予定より1時間以上遅れて13時過ぎの到着となりました。
ワイキキ中心部に向かうバスが30分以上待っても来ず、何の説明も無いまま待たされました。
あとどれくらい待つのか尋ねると、30分と面倒くさそうに答えられ気分が悪く、タクシーに乗ろうかと思いました。飛行機の遅れは予め予測出来ることですし、某大手旅行会社のバスより小型でホテルを5箇所以内にして早く目的地に届けるのが一番の売りだと思ってリピートしたのに期待を裏切る結果にガッカリしました。

I tried parasailing for the first time, and the view of the ocean and Oahu was amazing. There isn't much thrill, so I think anyone who isn't afraid of heights can enjoy it. You can leave anything that might get wet on the boat before the flight, which is reassuring. You can buy an SD card with photos for $30. The quality is good, so I recommend it.

パラセールは初めてしたのですが、海とオアフ島が一望できて最高でした。スリルはそれほどないので高所恐怖症でなければ楽しめると思います。
濡れて困るものは船に置いてからフライト出来るので安心です。
30ドルで写真入りのSDカードを買うことができます。画質もよいのでおすすめです。

I experienced a group lesson with 6 people and 2 instructors. The instructors didn't speak Japanese, so the explanations were in English, which some people found a bit difficult to understand. However, they spoke in simple English, so I think it will be fine! It was fun!

グループレッスンで体験しましたが、6名で2人のインストラクターさんでした。
インストラクターさんは、日本語ができない？方だったので、英語での説明だったので、なかなか分からない方もいらしたよです。
簡単な英語で話してくださるので、大丈夫だと思いますよ！楽しかったです！

The weather was great, and the strong wind created the perfect conditions. However, the meeting point was very hard to find, and we wandered around the Sheraton multiple times. Among the participants, we were the only Japanese. The waves were high, and the strong wind splashed water on us, which felt refreshing. It was nice to see the backside of Diamond Head and to spot sea turtles.

天気も良く、風も強く最高のコンディションでした。ただ、集合場所が非常に分かりにくく、何回もシェラトンの周りをウロウロ。参加した人の中に日本人は私たちだけでした。波も高く、風も強く水しぶきがかかり、気持ち良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側が見られ、ウミガメも見られて、良かったです。

I found the service to be very courteous, and although it is a shared shuttle, I think it is much more economical compared to a flat-rate taxi. It is chosen not only by Japanese people but also by foreigners, so I felt comfortable requesting it.

とても丁寧で、乗合シャトルにはなりますが定額タクシーと比べてとてもお得だと思います。
日本人だけでなく、外国の方からも選ばれる送迎なので安心してお願いできました。

The person who picked us up spoke a little Japanese and was polite, which made me feel at ease. When we actually went parasailing, the staff were all locals, but they were very accustomed to Japanese tourists. There were five groups on the boat, including us, so we spent quite a bit of time rocking on the boat, which made me feel quite seasick. My friend was on the verge of throwing up. If you take motion sickness medication properly, it's the best tour where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki!

送迎の方はやや日本語を話せる方でしたし、丁寧だったので、安心でした。
実際にパラセーリングをする際は完全に現地の方でしたが、みなさん日本人慣れしていました。
私が乗った船には私たち含め、5組がおり、その分船に揺られる時間も多かったので、船酔いは結構きつかったです。友人は吐く寸前でした。
酔い止めをしっかり飲めば、ワイキキを一望できる最高のツアーです！

The hotel elevator was extremely crowded, and I arrived just in time for the meeting. The hotel parking space was also full. Even though I knew the Roberts van was there, I thought it would move further in, so I waited, but it seemed to have gone to the next pickup location. Fortunately, the hotel bellboy called out to me and even made a phone call, and somehow they came back, allowing me to board safely. I really appreciated the bellboy's help, and I'm also grateful to the driver who came without a frown.

ホテルのエレベーターが激混みで集合時間ギリギリに到着…ホテルの駐車スペースも満員…Robertsワゴン車来てること知りつつももっと中に入ってくれるだろうと待ってると次のピックアップ場所へ行ってしまったようで、ホテルのボーイさんが声をかけてくれ、電話もしてくれて、なんとかきてくれて無事乗ることができました
ホテルのボーイさん様々でしたが、嫌な顔せずきてくれた運転手さんにも感謝です♪

I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran with my wife, eldest daughter, and grandchild (2.5 years old). During the approximately one and a half hour cruise, everyone was thrilled with the wonderful scenery, the crew's entertaining talks, and the many splashes of waves. Next time, I hope to enjoy it with the whole family.

Also, the meeting point (registration) can be hard to find, so I recommend checking it in advance.

私、妻、長女、孫（2.5才）を連れてマイタイ・カタマラン号に搭乗しました。
およそ1時間半のクルージングの間、素晴らしい景色とクルーの楽しいトーク、そして多くの波しぶきにみんな大喜びでした。
次回は、家族全員で楽しみたいと思います。

なお、集合場所（受付）が分かりにくいので、事前に確認することをお勧め致します。

This time, the transfer from Domestic was smooth and I was taken to the hotel quickly, which was great. I would like to use it again next time.

今回はドメスティクからの送迎でしたが、スムーズに時間も早くホテルまで送っていただき良かったです。次回も利用したいと思います。

- I waited a little before the pickup time, but when the time came, no one showed up. I became worried and called the contact number, but I couldn't get through, so I was left feeling anxious for 30 minutes. They mentioned it was due to traffic, but not being able to reach the contact number is a separate issue.
- I was told, "Since the start was delayed by 30 minutes, the end will also be pushed back by 30 minutes," but in the end, it finished at the original time.
- They have rash guards available for rent, but there are no bottoms, so women who are concerned about that need to prepare their own.

・ピックアップ時間の少し前から待っていたが時間になっても来なかったため、心配になり問い合わせ先へ電話したが繋がらず、ただただ不安なまま30分待たされた。交通事情とのことだったが問い合わせ先と連絡が取れないのは別の問題。
・「開始が30分遅れたから終了も30分ずらす」と言われたが、結果的に終了は元の時間どおりだった。
・ラッシュガード貸出があるが、下は無いため女性で気になる方は自身で準備が必要。

When I exited the group area and went to the counter, there was no staff present. When someone finally arrived, they directed me to the individual exit because the bus was delayed. I was made to go to the individual exit while holding my suitcase and carrying my child, but we had to wait a long time before we could board. After waiting for an hour, we finally got on. If I had to wait this long in the heat, I would have preferred not to use this service from the start. I should have taken a taxi instead. I will never use this service again.

団体出口に出て、カウンターへ行くと誰もスタッフがいない。
やっと来たら、ここはバスが遅いから個人出口へと。
スーツケース片手に子供を抱え個人出口へ行かされたのに、待ってても中々乗せてもらえない。1時待ってようやく乗れた。暑い中こんなに待つなら最初から利用しなかった。
あまりに待たされたのでタクシーにすれば良かった。
二度と使わない。

They arrived on time in front of the hotel and stopped by other hotels as well, which was very convenient. I would like to use it again.

時間通りにホテルの前まできてもらい　他のホテルにも寄りながら
でしたがとても便利でした。
また利用したいです。
