Waikiki
Taking my mothers on the 1000-foot course! We challenged ourselves to 150m!!
While others were younger and went for the 800-foot course, I was worried about how it would go, but my mothers seemed to have an amazing time. The view from 1000 feet was absolutely incredible, and I believe the panoramic view from Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head is something you'll cherish for a lifetime!
As for my daughter and me, while we enjoyed ourselves, my husband, who has a fear of heights, was quite tense. When I asked him how it was, he said it was really scary, but it was still a great experience! We were in the middle of the group, so we managed to avoid getting seasick, but it seems that those who jumped first and last had a tough time with seasickness. I recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand! It was quite bumpy and challenging! Also, you won't get wet at all, so make sure to wear makeup and bring sunglasses! The sunlight is strong and can be quite painful!
母達を連れて1000フィートコース!150mへチャレンジ!!
他の方は若いのに800フィートコースでしたので、どーなることやらと心配しましたが、母達はめちゃくちゃ楽しかったみたいで、1000フィートから見る景色は、それはそれはすごくて、パールハーバーからダイアモンドヘッドまでパノラマの景色は一生モノだと思います!
娘の私たちは、楽しさもですが、夫は高所恐怖症な為、ジーーットしてたので、どーだった?って聞いたら、めちゃくちゃ怖かったーーっと言っていましたが、それでもいい体験で最高でした!私たちは真ん中のメンバーだったので、酔うことなく過ごせましたが、最初に飛んだ人達と最後の人達は船酔いが半端なかったみたいなので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいと思います!かなり揺れてかなり大変です!あと、全く濡れる事はないので、顔はしっかり化粧して、サングラスは持っていった方が良いと思います!日差しが強くて痛いくらいです!
On the last day, unlike just rushing back, we were picked up at the hotel, so we were able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast (at a pancake shop). Although we arrived at the airport early, we checked in with plenty of time, which seems to have allowed us to get good seats.
最終日、バタバタと帰るだけとは違いホテルまでピックアップなので、安心して最終日の朝食(パンケーキ店)をゆっくりと満喫することが出来ました。
空港入りは早めでしたが、ゆとりをもってチェックインしたので、良い席が取れたようです。
I experienced it at 120 meters. It was scarier than I expected, but the weather was great and the scenery was really beautiful. I'm not sure if we were actually in the air for 8 minutes; it might have felt short because it was so much fun.
Including us, there were 5 groups, and we returned to the port after an hour, so participating in the morning allowed us to make good use of the rest of the day.
Especially before heading out to sea, the boat swayed a lot, so if you're feeling even a little anxious, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.
120mで体験しました。思っていたよりも怖かったですが、天気にも恵まれて景色はすごく綺麗。実際に8分空にいたのかは疑問?楽しかったので短くて感じたのかもしれませんが。
私たちも含めて5グループで、一時間後には港に帰ってきたので、朝参加するとその後の時間も有効活用できたのでよかったです。
特に沖に出るまでは船がすごくゆれるので、少しでも不安な方は酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがいいかもしれないです。
Everyone was friend and outgoing! Great staff!!! (:
Good time had by all. Fun Supportive and Helpful Crew
The staff spoke only broken Japanese, but most of the communication was in English, and they were friendly with a sense of humor. It felt refreshing to be at a place that was more expensive than the hotel I stayed at in Waikiki.
スタッフの方は片言の日本語を話すだけで
殆どが英語でしたがフレンドリーでジョークもあり。
ワイキキの宿泊ホテルより高く上がり気分爽快でした。
The car didn't arrive even 10 minutes past the scheduled pickup time. When I tried to borrow a phone from the hotel porter, he said, "It's Hawaii time..." and I waited another 10 minutes. However, the car still didn't come. The porter, who was watching the situation, made an angry phone call, and the car arrived in just under 10 minutes, taking us straight to the airport. There were only my family and I as passengers. I don't know the details, but they really came through for us at the last minute. There were no issues with the flight departure time.
迎えの時間を10分過ぎても車が来ない。
ホテルのポーターに電話を借りようとしたら
「ハワイ時間だから・・・」と言われ10分待つ。
しかし来ない。
状況を見ていたポーターが怒りの電話を掛けてくれ
10分弱で車が来て、そのまま空港へ直行。
乗客は私たち家族のみ。
詳細は分かりませんが、最後の最後にやってくれました。
飛行機の出発時間には、何ら問題はありませんでした。
I was a little anxious since my arrival was via the island's internal flight, but a woman wearing a shirt with "Roberts" on it was there. When I said my name, she guided me to the shuttle bus. I arrived at the hotel without any waiting time. It's very convenient. The staff is friendly.
到着が島内線だったのでチョット不安でしたが
ロバーツのシャツを着た女性の方がいらっしゃって
名前を言ったらシャトルバスまで案内をしてくれました。
待ち時間もなくホテルに到着。
すごく便利です。
スタッフの方はフレンドリーです。
The weather was nice, and it felt great. I could see a beautiful view over the blue sea. It felt wonderful to soar high in the sky! I definitely want to do it again.
天気が良くてとてもきもちがよく青い海の上でとても綺麗な景色がみえました。
空高く上がりとてもきもちよかったです!
ぜひまたやりたいです。
I made a last-minute reservation just one day ago and went! It was fun! The round-trip shuttle service to and from the hotel was great!
1日前に直前予約して、いきました!
たのしかったです!ホテルまでの行き帰り送迎もあるし、よかったです!
On the day, there were three groups of customers who seemed to have made reservations. After being guided to the car, we waited for a while, and then several more groups of customers who seemed to have made same-day applications boarded. We arrived at the hotel after visiting several hotels in Waikiki (excluding SPG). It took about an hour. I was disappointed because I thought I had signed up based on reviews that said we would arrive quickly since we would only be visiting SPG hotels. Was my application incorrect?
当日、予約をしていたと思われるお客が3組。
車に案内されてからしばらく待たされて、当日申込みと思われるお客がさらに数組乗車。
ワイキキのホテル(SPG以外)を数か所巡ってからホテルに到着。
1時間位かかりました。
SPGホテルだけを回るので早く到着できます、という口コミを見て申し込んだつもりだったので、がっかりしています。
私の申し込みが間違っていたのでしょうか。
I would highly recommend doing this adventure! This was my second time but my husband, and 2 kids (ages 10 & 7) first time. Easy to find the location and the people were very friendly. It was easy to do and once you catch the wave, it's so exhilarating. It is very cool to see Waikiki Beach from the ocean too! Such a great memory to share with my family.
Aloha, Andrea:
Mahalo for taking time to write a generous 5 star review! We are glad that your family had a wonderful time. Waikiki Beach is the only place in the world that you can experience Outrigger Canoe Surfing, and Outrigger Canoe is a very significant transportation that influenced Hawaiian culture. Outrigger Canoe paddling is also the only Hawaii State sport. We hope that more people will have a chance to experience this cultural activity, and that you will also return again soon.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
We participated in a trip to Hawaii with my two nieces and my husband, making it a memorable experience on April 27, during the first half of Golden Week. Since we were staying at the Hilton, we walked to the nearby harbor meeting point, which was easy to find. Only my nieces actually "flew," while my husband and I observed from the boat that was towing them, so I thought we would be sharing the experience with other participants, but luckily it was a private tour. Right after boarding, we quickly bonded with the local American crew, and the atmosphere was friendly and cheerful, allowing our whole family to have a great time! However, the moment when my nieces suddenly soared high into the sky during the takeoff was a bit nerve-wracking. It was just a little over a 30-minute experience, but both my nieces and we were able to create unforgettable memories!
GW前半を利用して姪たち2人と私たち夫婦の4人でのハワイ旅行の「めだま」として4月27日に参加しました。ヒルトンに滞在していたためすぐお隣のハーバーの集合場所(すぐわかりました)へは徒歩で行きました。実際に「飛行(なのかしら)」するのは姪たち2人だけで私たち夫婦は牽引するボートからの見学でしたので、他の参加者さんたちとの「相乗り」かな、と考えていましたがラッキーなことに貸切でした。乗船直後から現地のアメリカ人クルーの人たちともすぐに打ち解け終始和気あいあいの雰囲気で家族全員とても楽しめました!ただ飛空準備体勢から姪っ子たちが「あっ」という間に空高く舞い上がって行く瞬間はちょっとドキドキしました。わずか30分あまりの体験でしたが姪たちも私たちも忘れられない思い出を作ることが出来ました!
They were really kind and went out of their way to greet me even in the early morning. The female driver was also very friendly and taught me a lot. Since it was my first trip, I can't express how much their smiles helped me. I would like to ask for their help again. I am grateful. God bless you!
本当に親切で早朝にもかかわらず、わざわざ出迎えてくださいました。
運転手の女性の方もとても親しく色々教えてくださいました。
はじめての旅でしたので、どんなにか彼らの笑顔に助けられたかわかりません。またお願いします。感謝してます。God Bless you!
When I arrived in Hawaii, the staff was there to guide me, but I had to wait for an hour and the driving was rough. However, I will use this service again next time; the people were nice. Thank you.
ハワイに到着したら直ぐ係員いて案内してくれたのですが1時間待たされ運転も荒かったです。でも次回も利用させて頂きます、人はいい人でした。ありがとうございます
The parasailing was the highlight of our visit to Honolulu! Check in was easy and the crew was fantastic. They made the activity that much more special and fun. Would highly recommend!
The whole tour from start to finish was breath taking! Truely an experience of a lifetime. To be able to go under the waters depths and see the hawaiian pyramids and see the marine life in their natural habitat . Loved it
I had an incredibly fun time. However, it might be a bit scary because it's quite expensive. Since you go out to sea by boat, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness. In the end, you definitely have to get your feet wet, so I think it's essential to participate in swimwear.
めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。あとは、高すぎて少し恐怖を感じることもあるかもしれません。船で沖まで出るので船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。最後は必ず足だけ水中に浸かりますので、水着での参加必須だと思いました。
My flight arrived from the Big Island after 10 PM. I was turned away by other companies due to the late hour, and I was referred to this service. Since it was late at night, I was really worried if someone would actually come, but as promised, I found someone in a yellow or green aloha shirt who introduced themselves and safely delivered me to my hotel, which was a relief. I was told that they wouldn't display a name or call out, so I wished they would at least stand in a noticeable spot. I had to search quite a bit for the person in the aloha shirt...
ハワイ島からの到着便が22時過ぎでした。
他社から時間外、という事で送迎を断られてしまい、こちらを紹介して頂きました。
夜中という事もあり、本当に来てもらえるのか不安でしたが約束通り、黄色、又は緑色のアロハシャツのかたを見つけ、名乗り出て無事にホテルまで届けて頂き、安心しました。
名前を掲示したり、呼んだりする事はないという事なので、せめて分かりやすいところに立っていて欲しかったです。
ご担当のアロハシャツの方をかなり探しました…
We participated as a couple in our 50s. Everyone else was either a young couple or a young group, and I was a bit anxious since I'm not great with heights, but I had a lot of fun. We flew for quite a long time, took many photos, and enjoyed taking pictures and videos with each other's smartphones, spending a great time together. I highly recommend it.
私たちは50代の夫婦で参加しました。
一緒になった人は皆若いカップルだったり若いグループで、私は少し高い所が苦手なのでちょっと不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
結構長い時間飛んでいて、写真も沢山撮っていただいたし、一緒になった人たちとは順番にお互いのスマホで写真や動画を取り合い楽しい時間を過ごせました。
おすすめです。
From the hostess at the Blue Tent to the boat crew - everyone made the experience enjoyable. Plenty of fish and turtles. Quality snorkeling gear. And finished with a nice relaxing sail around Diamond Head. A definite do again on our next trip. Since we stayed at the Hall Koa, access was a quick walk down the beach. No hassles of finding parking on the busy Waikiki strip.
There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."
魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの1つ」と呟いていました。
The sea has a very shallow coral reef, which may vary depending on the time of day and season. In shallow areas, the coral can be about 50 centimeters deep, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured.
While explanations are available in Japanese, the level of danger is such that it doesn't help much. I was fine, but someone in my group did get hurt.
Additionally, the waves are weak, and beginners who are not used to paddling will find themselves unable to do anything without the instructor pushing their board, leading to a lot of waiting time.
These issues are not the fault of the instructors or the tour office; they are problems with Waikiki Beach itself. If you participate in activities at Waikiki Beach, you might find it difficult to enjoy anything. However, if you go snorkeling, you might be able to see the coral and have some fun.
時間帯や季節によるかもしれませんがかなり遠浅な珊瑚礁のある海です。浅いところは珊瑚が50センチ位な所もあり運悪いと怪我します
その辺は日本語で説明を受けられますが説明を受けてもどうにもならないレベルで危険
私は大丈夫でしたがグループ内で怪我をした方がいました
また波も弱くパドリングになれていない初心者ではインストラクターに板を押してもらわないと何も出来なくて待ち時間ばかりになります
これらはインストラクターやツアー営業所の問題ではなくワイキキビーチの問題です。ワイキキビーチでのアクティビティに参加すると何をやってもダメでしょう
シュノーケリングならばもしかすると珊瑚が見れて楽しいかもしれない
Since we decided to meet on-site, I will head to the venue by 6:30 PM. If you show your reservation screen at the reception, they will guide you. First, we will toast with a welcome drink, then enjoy a buffet while listening to music and watching hula performances. The dining area is right next to the reception, not inside the venue.
I thought it might be fine not to include a meal, but since there will be hula performances during the meal and the people who bring drinks are also part of the show, I think it would be nice to remember their faces for a different kind of enjoyment during the show.
After the meal, we will enter the venue and freely look at the exhibits before heading to the second-floor seating. The seating arrangement is determined by the order of entry. When we went, we were able to sit in the very front of the second floor. It seems that on the first floor, you can watch the show while dining.
The show starts with visuals, upbeat music, and hula dancing. The impersonation show is entirely in English, so if you don't understand English, you might miss some of the fun. However, the Elvis impersonator came to the second floor and even shook hands, making it a vibrant show that I would recommend for those who love glamorous performances and rock music.
Both during the meal and the show, the vibe is very American, so I had the impression that, including us, the Japanese audience might not be fully in sync. However, the dynamic stage with quick changes in costumes and stage impressions kept us entertained throughout the slightly over one-hour show, making for a wonderful and enjoyable night.
現地集合にしたので18時30分までに会場へ向かいます。
受付で予約画面を見せると案内してもらえます。
まずはウエルカムドリンクで乾杯したあとに音楽を聞きながら、フラを見ながらのバイキングです。
食事場所は会場の中ではなく受付のすぐとなりになります。
食事の内容的には付けなくてもいいかなーと思いましたが、食事中にフラを披露したりドリンクを持ってきてくれた人がショーにも出ているので、顔を覚えているとショー中も別な楽しみ方があると思います。
食事のあとは会場内に入り展示品などを自由に見てから2階席へ。入った順番で座る場所が決まります。
私たちの時は2階席の一番前に座ることができました。1階では食事をしながらショーが見れるようです。
ショーは映像と軽快な音楽とフラダンスではじまります。
ものまねショーはすべて英語なので英語がわからないと面白さは若干劣るような気がしますが、2階席までエルビスのそっくりさんが来てくれたり握手をしてくれたりするので華やかなショーやロックが好きな方にはおすすめです。
食事中もショー中もノリがアメリカンなので私たちも含め、日本人はノリ切れてないかなー?という印象でしたが、1時間ちょっとのショーの中で衣装もステージの印象も短時間で変化をさせながら迫力あるステージで最後まで飽きさせない演出はとても素晴らしく楽しい夜を過ごせました。
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 visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、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。
The staff were interesting and it was fun. Also, the view was amazing. If the weather is good, I think it will be a really great experience. However, I get seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to it.
スタッフの方が面白い方で楽しかった。また、眺めも最高でした。天気が良ければ、ほんとにいい体験になると思います。ただ船酔いするので、乗り物酔いする方は必ず酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。
The transportation and guide were in English, but it was at a level that was manageable even for those who are not good at English. They suggested taking photos for a fee and providing the SD card, but if you decline, there’s no pressure to buy, and they explain everything in advance, which is reassuring! You can also choose whether or not to land in the water!
I participated with my parents, who are over 60, and they seemed to enjoy it without fear even at 130 meters. The tip is separate; we gave $40 for the four of us when we got off the boat! Additionally, the pickup for the outbound trip was at a designated location near our accommodation, but for the return, they dropped us off right in front of the hotel. The vehicle for transportation had a case for tips, and I put in some change and about $2.
I am very satisfied.
送迎もガイドも英語でしたが、英語が苦手でも平気なレベルでした。有料で写真を撮ってSDカードごと渡すことができると進められますが、断れば押し売りされることもないし、ちゃんと事前に説明してくれるので安心!着水するかしないかも選べます!
60歳を越えている両親と参加しましたが、130mでも怖くなく楽しかったようです。チップは別で、船を降りる時に4人で$40渡しました!また、送迎は行きの集合は宿泊先近隣の指定された場所でしたが、帰りはホテル前まで送ってくれました。送迎の車にはチップを入れるケースがついてて、小銭と$2ぐらい入れておりました。
大満足です。
It was a nice outing. You can bring your own liquor. The crew was nice. They only offer beer and water, but I think wine would be a nice addition. It was good, especially for the price. Nothing exceptional though.
What I love about this show is its variety performance. It has hula dances, Michael Jackson, Elvis and fire eater. All the performances were very good. I love Elvis. I would have loved to see more hula dances but overall it was good. Also, I wish it was a little longer. We opted for the pre-performance buffet dinner and it was good too. The band was good as well. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is worth it. It is not the usual luau but it had a las vegas impersonators. My family enjoyed it including my teenage kids. It is for all ages. Very well choreographed. Love that it is inside an indoor theatre.
The difference in cost compared to a taxi was about $10, and I had to wait for over 30 minutes in the heat, so I didn't think it was very cost-effective.
タクシーとの差額も10ドル程でしたし、暑い中30分以上待たされたので、あまりコスパが良いとは思えませんでした。
My encounter with Presley happened when the café run by my relatives was closing down. I was told I could take as many records as I wanted from the store, and among them was a flashy record featuring Presley in a red aloha shirt, which was from Blue Hawaii. From that point on, I became completely hooked on Presley instead of the Beatles. Even though I traveled to Hawaii every year, I avoided impersonations, but on my family's recommendation, I saw a show for the first time. Presley was, of course, amazing, and some of the dancers reminded me of the times I danced when I was young, creating wonderful memories.
プレスリーとの出会いは、親族の経営する喫茶店が閉店することになり、店で使用していたレコード、好きなだけ持って帰っていいと言われその中に、赤いアロハシャツを着た派手なレコードがあり、それがブルーハワイのプレスリーでした、それからはビートルズではなくプレスリーに完全にはまり込みました、それだけに、毎年ハワイに旅行に行っても、物まねは嫌と避けていましたが、家族のすすめで初めてショウーを見てプレスリーは勿論素晴らしかったし、ダンサー達の何人かは幼い時に踊っていたときを思い出させてくれて、すばらしい思い出になりました。
Thank you very much for attending. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、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。
