Waikiki
I was quite anxious about participating alone as a woman and my limited English skills, but surfing in Hawaii was something I had wanted to do for three years, so I decided to go for it!
To my surprise, I heard a lot of Japanese being spoken here and there! There were people who chatted with me and created a fun atmosphere, and the person in charge, who was American, also used some broken Japanese like "more forward." Thanks to their support, I was able to stand on the board from my very first try! It was so much fun that I decided to start surfing back in Japan too!
英語もつたなく、女性の1人参加ということで不安は多々ありましたが、ハワイでサーフィンするのは3年越しのやりたかったことだったので思い切って参加してみました！
すると、割とあちらこちらで日本語が飛び交ってる…！色々喋りかけてくれて、楽しい雰囲気にしてくれる人や、担当してくれた方もアメリカの方でしたが「もっと前」などカタコトの日本語も駆使してくれましたよ^^
その方のサポートもあり、1回目からボードに立つことができました！！
すごく楽しかったので、日本でもサーフィン始めようと思いました☆

I used the service for my arrival flight at Honolulu Airport at 20:30. I only speak Japanese, and it was my first time using a night flight, so I was nervous because the voucher said to find and approach the staff myself. However, I was relieved to see the staff waiting for me with my name sign. When I think about it, it's a normal thing, but... Also, there were stairs at the entrance of the accommodation, but they helped carry my luggage up the stairs, which was a great help. Since I wasn't expecting much from the service, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
20:30ホノルル空港到着便で利用しました。
日本語しかできなく、夜便利用も初めてなのに、バウチャーには自分で係の人を探して声をかけろと書かれていてドキドキでしたが、係の人が私のネームサインを持って待っていてくれホッとしました。考えてみれば当たり前のことですが…
また、宿入り口まで階段がありましたが、階段の上まで荷物を運んでくれ、助かりました。
サービスについては期待していなかっただけに良かったです。

Despite being inexpensive, the shuttle service was comfortable. After waiting for 10 minutes past the scheduled pickup time without the bus arriving, I became worried and contacted the emergency contact, but they arrived properly. Since the hotel had two lobby areas, it would have been better if they had specified the details more clearly.
安かったにもかかわらず快適な送迎でした。
迎えの時間から１０分経過してもバスがこなく、心配になり緊急連絡先に連絡しましたがちゃんと来てくれました。
ロビーが2箇所あるホテルだったので細かく指定してくれればより良かったと思います。

The only activity on this trip made me a bit nervous, but the person who picked us up was very cheerful, which helped me relax! The crew didn't speak Japanese, but since I didn't want to get wet, I communicated in English not to drop me in the water, and they asked, "No Japan?" They really made sure I landed safely on the boat without dropping me. There might be a little splash, but my swimsuit didn't get wet at all, so I was able to go home dry. They took 66 photos while we were flying, and they were all angles I couldn't have captured myself. I thought I should have bought a GoPro, but the photos turned out to be wonderful memories. I had so much fun that I want to fly about three more times!
今回の旅行で唯一のアクティビティで、少し緊張していたのですが送迎の方がとても明るい方でリラックスできました！
クルーの方は日本語が通じませんが、水に濡れたくなかったわたしは英語で水に落とさないでと伝えたら「ノージャポン？」って聞いてくれてほんとに落とさずにしっかりと船の上に着地させてくれました。
水しぶきで少し濡れることはありますが、着用していた水着は全く濡れることなく帰れました。
飛んでいる間の写真を66枚も撮影して頂き、自分では撮れないアングルの写真ばかりでGoProを買えばよかったなと思っていたのですが十分満足な思い出に残る写真となりました。
あと3回くらい飛びたいなと思うくらい楽しかったです！

It felt absolutely amazing! I wanted to stay up in the sky like that forever.
However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. The people I was with were so exhausted that they couldn't enjoy the parasailing at all.
めちゃめちゃ気持ち良かった！
このまま空にいたいくらいでした
ただ、船に弱い方は要注意かもです。同乗の方々はパラセイルを楽しむどころではないくらいグッタリでした

They delivered it with a beautiful car and safe driving. I had to wait about 15 minutes at the meeting point. If there was going to be that much time, I would have liked to be informed. While waiting outside after arriving at the airport, I got thirsty and wanted to buy some water. Since it was a shared ride, I felt I couldn't leave the area.
きれいな車で安全運転で届けてくれました。待合場所で15分くらい待たされました。そんなに時間があるならひとこと言って欲しかったです。空港に到着して外で待たされる間に喉が乾いたので、水を買いたかったです。乗合の車のため、場所を離れたらいけないと思い動けませんでした。

I didn't know I could get seasick, but these guys came ready with meds and drinks. Super informative and care for your well being. My girlfriend had a blast and she was so excited to see turtles peeking out the waters. Awesome experience and thanks!
You can start hula dancing and enjoy dances from Polynesia and other regions. Randomly selected participants can challenge themselves on stage with conch shell blowing and dancing. The finale was an impressive fire dance. The MC's lively talk and jokes had everyone laughing, but it was a shame that I couldn't quite understand the English.
フラダンスを始め、ポリネシアなどの舞踊が楽しめます。
参加者からランダムで選ばれた人はステージで、ホラ貝吹きやダンスに挑戦できます。
最後は迫力満点のファイヤーダンスで締めでした。
MCの方の軽快なトークとジョーク的ななにかで周りが笑っていたのですが、
英語が今ひとつわからなかったのが残念でした。

The appeal of sailing is to enjoy the refreshing feeling of being in nature, with the sounds of the wind and waves. However, my experience was ruined by being surrounded by a loud group with booming music and party-like shouting. Next time, I will look for a small, private sailing tour.
セーリングの良さは、風の音、波の音など自然の中での爽快感を味わいたかったのですが、大音量の音楽と、パーティーのような大声での大騒ぎのグループに囲まれて、せっかくのセーリングが台無しでした。今度は少人数、貸し切りでのセーリングツアーを探します。

We were the only Japanese people, but the local staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable by saying words they knew in Japanese, like "yoroshiku" and "okonomiyaki"!
日本人は私達だけでしたが、現地スタッフの方が「よろしく」とか「お好み焼き」など、知ってる日本の単語を言いながら、フレンドリーに接してくれ、居心地も良かったです！

The pickup service upon arrival in Honolulu was terrible, but this service was really good. I communicated with the driver in English without any worries, and I appreciated the kind and careful handling of my luggage. Next time, I would like to request both pickups from here.
ホノルル到着時の送迎サービスは最悪でしたが、こちらのサービスは本当に良かったです。運転手の方とは英語でのやり取りでしたが何の不安もなく、親切、丁寧な荷物の取り扱いに好感がもてました。次回は、送迎の両方をこちらでお願いしたいと思いました。

The service was kind and good. The pickup at the hotel and the driver's response were significantly better than last year. If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to request Roberts.
親切で良かったです。
ホテルでの迎えも、ドライバーさんの対応も昨年より数段良くなっていました。

It was our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon and our first experience with parasailing. We were quite anxious when our pickup didn't arrive even after the scheduled time, but we waited patiently, and eventually, they came 17 minutes late. (It seemed that everyone else except us was a foreign guest, and they probably weren't at the meeting point on time.)
Neither the driver nor the staff at the parasailing check-in spoke much Japanese, so we struggled a bit with our zero English skills, but the boat staff spoke a little Japanese and were friendly.
I thought they would take photos for us and we could buy the data later, but if I hadn't said anything, we wouldn't have had any photos taken. So, if you want pictures, it's better to confirm in advance.
The parasailing itself was very stable and not scary at all! It was a luxurious time where we could see the city and beach of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. The boat captain was a young man who successfully fulfilled our request for a "little splashdown," and he was skilled! Another male staff member was also very pleasant.
It probably depends on the sea conditions, but I didn't mind the boat's rocking at all, and I enjoyed the view from the boat during the waiting time. This is an activity I would love to experience again.
ハネムーンで初めてのハワイ、初めてのパラセーリング 体験でした。
ピックアップ時間を過ぎてもお迎えが来ず、かなりヒヤヒヤしましたが じっとその場で待ち、結局17分オーバーで無事来てもらえました。（私たち夫婦以外は全員外国人客で、どうやらピックアップ時間に集合場所に出てなかった様子）
ドライバーさんも、パラセーリング 受付のスタッフも、日本語はほぼ通じなかったので 英語力ゼロの私達は少し苦労しましたが、ボートのスタッフさんたちは少し日本語で話してくれましたし 気さくに接してくれました。
写真撮影は、勝手にしてくれて後でお金を払えばデータが買えると思っていて、特に何も言わなかったら 撮影してもらえてなかったので 写真が欲しい方は 事前に確認したほうが良いです。
パラセーリング 自体は、とても安定感があって全く怖くなかったです！ワイキキの街やビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望できる、贅沢な時間でした♪
ボートのキャプテンは若い男性でしたが 「少しだけ着水」を見事希望通り叶えてくれましたし、上手でしたよ！もう一人の男性スタッフも感じ良かったです。
海のコンディションによるんでしょうが、ボートの揺れも気にならず、待機時間も船上からの眺めを満喫できて楽しかったです。
また体験したいアクティビティです。

There were only my husband and I who were Japanese, and the rest were all foreigners, but the staff supported us with their limited Japanese, which was very reassuring.
However, there was a group that got seasick, so they temporarily returned to the shore.
The catamaran sailing was pleasant and I highly recommend it; the snorkeling equipment was well-stocked, and they checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay.
I would like to use this service again, but I regret not knowing the typical tip amount and think I may have given too little.
日本人は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人ばかりでしたがスタッフは片言の日本語でフォローしてくれて、とても安心でした。
ただ船酔いしたグループがいたので、途中一旦もどり下船していました。
カタマランのセーリングは気持ちよくおすすめです、シュノーケル機材も充実していて何度も大丈夫か？と聞いてくれます。
また利用したいです、最後のチップの相場が分からなくて少なかったかなと、後悔しています。

I had a wonderful time from start to finish. The performance and Hawaiian music were absolutely fantastic, and the female duet performing Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley was very exciting. The dancers' movements were sophisticated, and I was so captivated by the final fire dancer that I forgot to breathe.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude not only to the dancers and singers but also to the table service staff. Thank you for the excellent hospitality; it was thanks to you that I was able to enjoy this memorable time in Hawaii. Mahalo.
最初から最後まで、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。演奏・ハワイアンミュージックは最高に良かったし、女性のデュエット・マイケル・ジャクソン・エルビスプレスリーを演じた方は、とてもエキサイティングでした。
ダンサーたちの動きは洗練されていて、最後のファイヤーダンスのダンサーは息をするのも忘れるくらい見入ってしまいました。
最後に感謝を伝えたいのは、ダンサーや歌手の皆さんだけではなく、テーブルサービスされているスタッフの方たちもです。最高のもてなしをしていただき、このハワイの思い出深い時間を過ごせたのもあなたたちのおかげです。『Mahalo』
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.

Perhaps because there were many customers, they arrived a little later than the scheduled pickup time. However, there were no issues with the timing, and they took me to the airport without any problems.
お客さんが多いからか、ピックアップ予定の時間より少し遅れてきました。でも時間的には問題なく空港まで連れて行ってくれました。

I used the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. I usually use HIS for transportation, but this time the hotel was Hokulani, and I was informed that with HIS, I wouldn't be dropped off directly at Hokulani (instead, I would be dropped off at the trolley stop at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and have to walk to the hotel). So, I chose Roberts, which drops you off in front of Hokulani.
The bus service was good; the driver was friendly, and the interior was comfortable, with no issues (even though it was a shared ride, it felt like the passengers were somewhat divided by hotel). However, there was quite a wait at the airport for the bus. There were some Westerners at the waiting area, but it seemed like they were trying to gather only Japanese passengers for the bus, waiting for delayed Hawaiian Airlines flight passengers. As a result, the wait was about an hour.
I think this kind of situation is quite expected, and I don't get irritated by it, but I do hope they can improve their operations to be more flexible in such cases. I've never experienced this with HIS (since they are a Japanese company, they seem to be very efficient). I probably won't use this service next time. (I ended up staying at Hokulani because I couldn't get a reservation at Hilton Hawaiian Village.)
空港→ホテル利用です。
いつもはHISの送迎を利用していますが、今回ホテルがホクラニ、HISだとホクラニ前で下車してもらえない（ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのトロリー乗り場で下車〜歩いてホテルへ）ということだったので、ホクラニ前で下ろしてくれるというロバーツにしました。
バスに関してはドライバーの方も親切、車内も快適で問題なかったですが（混載乗車だけど、ある程度ホテルごとに数台に分散された感じがする）、空港でのバス待ち時間がかなりありました。
バスの待合場所には欧米人らしき人もいたのですが、どうやらバスには日本人ばかりを集めようとしている感じで、遅延したハワイアン航空の便の搭乗客を待っている形となりました。結果、待ちは1時間程度。
こういうことは至って想定内だと思っていますし、これにイライラするようなことはないのですが、こういう場合の臨機応変に対応できるオペレーションは検討してほしいなと思ったりもします。
HISではこういう思いをしたことがないので…（やはりHISは日系なので、非常に手際が良いように感じる）
次回は多分利用しないと思います。（ホクラニに泊まったのもヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの予約が取れず仕方なく…だったので。）

The view is amazing. I participated with a digital camera in hand, and although I had a foot strap, the camera was fine. It seems you can choose between no strap, waist, or foot options. When I said "a little," it was about the foot strap. Quite a few people were paragliding while holding their smartphones around their necks or selfie sticks. They won't take responsibility if you fall, though.
We flew in the morning, and the weather was wonderful. We were able to return to Ohana Waikiki Malia Hotel by 9:30.
A couple from California who rode with us joked, "Terrace House?" I couldn't respond well and just laughed. I guess it's famous because Netflix is airing Terrace House.
素晴らしい眺めです。デジカメを手にひもを巻き参加。足じゃぽんありでしたが、カメラは大丈夫でした。
じゃぽんは、なしか、腰までとか足とか選べるようです。
「ちょっと」というと、足じゃぽんくらいでした。結構みんな首からかけたスマホや、自撮り棒カメラもったまま、パラセーリングしてました。落ちても責任はとってもらえませんが。
午前中飛びましたが、素晴らしい天気。
9時半にはオハナワイキキマリアホテルに戻れました。

We used this for our honeymoon trip, and the staff's service was wonderful! When we took the lesson, there were only four of us, including my husband and me, so it was almost a one-on-one lesson, and we were able to stand on the board right away! We had plenty of time, more than we could have asked for, and we had a meaningful experience!
ハネムーン旅行で利用したのですが、
とにかく、スタッフさんの対応が素敵でした！！

I recommend it because it's convenient to get to the airport. The pickup also arrives on time, so you can use it with peace of mind without any worries.

I was expecting it to be a bit clearer, so I was somewhat disappointed, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience on a submarine.
もう少し鮮明に見えると、思っていたので少々期待はずれのところがありましたが、初めての潜水艦堪能できました。

The venue is on the rooftop of the 6th floor, and every visitor is given a fresh flower lei, which you can take back to Japan. Upon entry, you can take commemorative photos with the dancers, and during the show, seats are sold for $50. Once seated, the buffet starts in order of table rank, and then the show begins. There was a sudden downpour, but the venue staff, who were older gentlemen, distributed raincoats to everyone. The content of the show was stunning, with a different level of excitement compared to Spa Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima Prefecture.
6階屋上が会場で、来場者の全ての方に生花レイをかけてくれて、日本に持ち帰えることも出来ました。
入場するとダンサーの方と記念撮影、ショーの最中に50ドルで席まで販売してきます。
着席するとテーブルランク順にブュッフェスタート、そーするとショーもスタートします。

Excellent food and entertainment. The show was outstanding and the buffet style was great to be able to try several new foods
Mahalo for choosing The Waikiki Starlight Luau on your stay. We are so thrilled that you enjoyed our luau. Hope to see you again soon! :) ALOHA
It was very beautiful, and I was able to observe the seabed slowly. Along the way, I also saw sea turtles and many fish, which made me satisfied.
The boat to the submarine was very rocky, and I ended up feeling seasick. On the way back, we stopped on the water for about 10 minutes before heading to the port for photo sales, which made me feel sick again.
Overall, I was satisfied with the experience that I wouldn't normally have.
とてもきれいでゆっくりと海底を観察できました。
途中ウミガメやたくさんの魚も見ることができ、満足です。

I used a shuttle from the Ilikai Hotel to the airport. On the day of travel, the bus arrived about 20 minutes later than scheduled due to road conditions. I became anxious after about 10 minutes past the scheduled time and called to confirm my reservation. It was uncomfortable waiting for about 30 minutes since the boarding area was outdoors. Once on the large bus, it was comfortable.
イリカイホテルから空港までシャトルを利用しました。
当日は道路状況の影響で予定時間より約20分程度遅くバスが到着しました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I challenged myself to try surfing for the first time! I decided to join the tour after reading the reviews. Since I wasn't sure about the location of the lesson, I opted for the pickup service, but I think I could go there on my own next time. Although the lesson wasn't in Japanese, there was someone who could instruct in Japanese! Moreover, it was a surprising reunion with someone I had met multiple times in the past at a certain place. I realized that it required more physical strength than I had imagined. I haven't mastered surfing completely, so I would like to participate in this tour again when I have the chance. Even as a beginner, they provide proper instruction, so I was able to stand up a few times. It was fun!
今まで何度もハワイへ行っていますが、今回、初サーフィンに挑戦！！こちらの口こみをみて、ツアー参加を決めました。
レッスン場所の位置がわからなかったので、送迎ありにしましたが、次回参加するときは自分達で行けると思う場所にありました。日本語レッスンにはしていませんでしたが、日本語で指導していただける方！！しかも、とある所で過去に何回もお会いしている方で、ビックリの再会でした。想像していたより、体力を使うことがわかりました。全部サーフィンをマスターしたわけではないので、また機会をみて、このツアーに参加したいと思います。確かに初めてでも、ちゃんと指導してくれるので、何回かは、立てます。楽しかったです。

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the snorkel catamaran. The boat crew was not only incredibly informative on use of equipment, but ensured first time
Snorkelers like ourselves had adequate support. They were also pretty comical as well! Seeing the sea turtles was awesome! One crew member even dove down to to the reef to retrieve my dropped cell phone! I had so many priceless photos and memories from my Dad’s funeral on the phone, that I would not have been able to replace them. Thank you for the incredible experience.
The tour starts efficiently and ends early in the morning, allowing plenty of time afterward.
Since it's a small boat, there can be some rocking, so taking motion sickness medication is essential, but once you're flying, you won't notice it.
They also take photos for $30. Since they use a DSLR, the pictures come out very beautifully, so I highly recommend it!
手際よくツアーが始まり、終わりも朝早くに終わるのでその後の時間もたっぷりととれます。
小型船なので、揺れもありますので船酔い止めは必須ですが、飛んでしまえば気になりません。
写真も30$で撮ってくれます。一眼レフなので、大変きれいに撮ってもらえるのでおすすめです！
