I arrived in Honolulu from Kona on the inter-island route, but it took quite a while to retrieve my checked luggage after arriving at the airport.

コナからにインターアイランド路線でホノルルに到着しましたが、チェックインした荷物を引き取ってから、車が空港に到着するまでに、珍し時間がかかりました。

I always use this service, and once again, the pickup time was accurate, allowing me to arrive at the airport with plenty of time. I will use it again.

いつも利用していますが、今回もピックアップ時間は正確で、余裕を持って空港に到着しました。また、利用させていただきます

We happened to attend on the one day it rained. luckily we weren't in the boat during heavy rain but it meant we could see the lovely island view from the boat due to the clouds and had to return slightly early. That said though, the crew was wonderfully and I still had a great time out on the water.

I made a reservation for the Standard 90! It was a clear sunny day! The boat was quite bumpy, but they went fast, and I found it really fun! The parasailing was high and scary, but I could see sea turtles, and I also got to see planes taking off from the airport and Diamond Head, which felt amazing! The captain was very enthusiastic about providing great service! Thank you very much!

スタンダード90で予約させていただきました！当日快晴！ボートはかなり揺れますが、スピードだしてくれて、わたしは、かなり面白かったです！パラセーリングは、高くて怖かったけど、ウミガメもみえて、空港から飛び立つ飛行機やダイヤモンドヘッドもみえて最高に気持ちよかったです！サービス精神旺盛なキャプテン！ありがとうございました！

I challenged myself to 150 meters. I had been looking forward to it since I made the reservation, and the view exceeded my expectations, making it a wonderful memory. The height of 150 meters was initially scary, but I got used to it quickly. A sense of unity developed among the participants, and I was able to connect with people from different countries. If you bring a digital camera, it seems that the guide will take photos for you while you're in the air.

150mに挑戦しました。予約した時からとても楽しみにしていましたが、期待以上の眺望で、とても良い思い出になりました。150mの高さも、最初は怖かったものの、すぐに慣れました。参加者同士も一体感が生まれ、違う国の方々と盛り上がることができました。デジカメを持参した場合、ガイドさんに手渡しておけば、空中での写真を撮ってくださるようです。

I decided to challenge myself to fly in the sky as a celebration of my upcoming 60th birthday. Since I was staying at the Hilton, it was only a 10-minute walk, so there was no time loss. I trusted the reviews that said even if my English wasn't great, everything would work out. As a result, everyone was so kind and skilled at helping me relax, so communication was no problem at all. Although it was only 120 meters, I enjoyed it enough. Thanks to the impressive work of the two crew members on the boat, I was able to shout and laugh loudly in the sky, feeling the thrill and becoming one with the wind. It was a great experience! I highly recommend it!

もうすぐ６０歳になるので記念に空を飛んでみようとチャレンジしました。まず宿泊がヒルトンなので歩いて１０分以内でタイムロスがない、さらに英語はダメだけど、どうにかなるというレビューを信じ当日を向かえました。その結果、皆さん優しいので緊張しないようにリラックスさせるのが上手なのでコミニュケーションも取れ全く大丈夫ですま。１２０ｍでしたが十分楽しめます。ボートの２人のクルーの見事な仕事ぶりのお陰で空の上で大声で叫んだり笑ったりスリルもあり風を感じ風と一体になれ良い経験でした。お奨めです！

The weather was great, and it was the best. There was a parking lot nearby that offered 6 hours of free parking. Afterward, you can take a leisurely walk to Kahanamoku Beach. The sandy beach is wide and not crowded.

天気にも恵まれ、最高でした。駐車場場も6時間無料が直ぐ近くにありました。終了後は、徒歩でカハナモクビーチでのんびり出来ます。砂浜も広く人が少ないでした。

I've been to Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first time parasailing! I went with a mix of anxiety and excitement, but there was nothing to worry about; it was incredibly safe and enjoyable, even more than I imagined.

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky was just breathtaking! We were blessed with beautiful weather, with a stunning blue sky and ocean. I don't think you can find such scenery anywhere else. I definitely want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイには10回以上行っていますが、なんと今回が初めてのパラセイリングでした！不安と期待とで胸を膨らませて行きましたが、不安なことは何一つなく、想像以上に安全で楽しめました。
空からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺められるなんてとにかく感激！お天気にも恵まれ、美しく青い空と海。こんな景色は他では見られないと思います。次回ハワイに行ったらまた是非やりたいです。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I booked a show. At first, I signed up for a show with transportation included, but since the meeting point was farther from the hotel, I opted for this one that I could get to on my own. For those with a short stay, I think it's good because you can see it in Waikiki, which minimizes time loss. It was standard, but it included a welcome drink plus one drink, and the food was decent. Perhaps because it was small, all the seats were relatively close to the stage. There was also a face painting service for kids, which they enjoyed. I think it's a good experience to try at least once.

せっかくハワイに来たので、とショーを申し込みしました。
最初は送迎つきのショーを申し込みましたが、集合場所がホテルより遠いため自力で行けるこちらにしました。
滞在時間が短い方にはワイキキで見れるため時間のロスが少なくてよいと思います。
スタンダードでしたが、ウェルカムドリンク＋１ドリンクつきで食事もまぁまぁかな～って感じです。こじんまりしているせいか、どの席もわりと近くで見れました。
子供にペイントサービスみたいなのもあって喜んでいました。
一度体験してみるにはよいと思います。

I saw a post about making a reservation in advance, and it mentioned that only English was spoken, which made me a bit anxious. However, as long as I could communicate my name in English, there was no problem since it was just a pickup service. They arrived right on time, and I was able to use the service comfortably. Thank you very much.

事前予約での投稿をみて、英語のみと書いてあり若干不安はありましたが、自分の名前さえ英語で伝われば送迎のみなので何の問題もありません。
きっちりと時間通りにきましたし、気持ちよく利用することができました。ありがとうございました。

I was worried about my physical stamina, but I enjoyed it enough. I would like to use it again. I got tired from paddling, but it was fun!

体力的に心配してましたが、十分に楽しめました。
また利用したいですね。
パドルでバテましたが面白かったッス。

I was worried about getting seasick, so I took motion sickness medication after breakfast. I didn't get sick, but I was hit by an overwhelming drowsiness. The deeper we went, the darker it became, and the visibility wasn't that clear, so I dozed off and felt a bit out of it. If asked if I would go again, my answer would be NO. As mentioned in Manou Yamashita's book, in the morning, there were mostly Japanese people, so if you want to feel like you're abroad, I recommend the afternoon trips. In the morning, it was nice to have a Japanese guide and be able to listen to the explanations without headphones since there were many Japanese people... It was good that the shuttle bus dropped us off not at the original location, but partway, allowing us to get off in front of DFS without returning to the Sheraton. By the way, Manou recommended walking along the coast to the boarding area instead of taking the shuttle bus.

酔ってしまったら嫌だなあと思って、酔い止め薬を朝食後に飲みました。酔わなかったですけど、もの凄い眠気に襲われ、艦内は潜れば潜るほど暗くなるし、そこまで透明度も明瞭でないので、ウトウト、ぼーっとしてしまいました。もう1回行く？と聞かれたら、ＮＯ、です。山下マヌーさんの本に載っていた通り、午前中は、日本人がほとんどだったので、海外気分を感じたいのであれば、午後便がお勧めです。午前は、日本語ガイドになり、（日本人が多かったので）ヘッドフォンをつけずに解説を聞けるのは良かったと思いますが・・・。送迎バスの送りで、元の場所でなく、途中で、おろしてもらえたのは良かったです。（シェラトンまで戻らずにＤＦＳ前で降車できた）ちなみに、マヌーさんは、送迎バスで運んでもらうのではなく、海岸をずっと歩いて、乗船場まで行くことをオススメしていました。

This was my second time, and it was impressive to see it right in front of me. My child was also captivated. Thank you.

今回で２回目でしたが目の前で見れてしかも迫力があり子供も釘付で見てました。
ありがとうございます。

This company is awesome. Had a great time! Staff is amazing and very fun!

Boat didn't have enough seats for everyone so in the beginning and end we were left standing.

We participated with three adults and one high school student. We traveled by boat from the sandy beach to the spot. The ride can be bumpy, and it shakes while waiting for others to fly, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

After about a five-minute boat ride, the staff starts preparing everything. We took off our sandals, put on life jackets, and once we were ready, the groups started flying one after another. You choose the height when you make the reservation, but it didn't seem to be confirmed, so the height doesn't seem to matter much. What was checked were the number of water landings and the force of the jump. I didn't want to get wet, so I used "ones! mild!" and only splashed a little. Some people got quite wet, but it seems it's also possible to come back dry.

The flying lasts just under ten minutes, but it feels amazing. It was quite high and a bit scary, but I had enough time to wave my hands and take pictures. The staff were handsome and kind, and it was fun to chat with others on the same boat.

大人3人高校生1人で参加しました。砂浜からスポットまでボートで移動しました。移動も揺れますし、他の方が飛んでいる待機中も揺れますので酔い止めは飲んでいった方が良いと思います。

ボートで5分くらい移動したらスタッフの方が着々と準備を始めます。サンダルを脱いで、ライフジャケットを着て、準備が整うとはじのグループから次々に飛んでいきます。予約の時に高さを選びますが特に確認されることもなかったので、高さはあまり関係ない気がします。確認されたのは着水の回数と勢いです。私は濡れたくなかったので「ones！mild！」と使えたのでポチャくらいでした。人によってはかなり濡れていましたし、濡れずに帰ってくることも可能みたいです。

飛んでいる間は10分弱ですがかなり気持ちいいです。結構高くて少し恐さはありましたが手を振ったり、写真を撮る余裕はありました。スタッフの方がイケメンで親切で、同じボートの方との話ができたり楽しかったです。

I participated with my family and my 2-year-old nephew. I was nervous that there might be a height check since he was just barely 92 cm, but there was no check, and we were able to board without any issues.

The boat from the beach to the submarine sways quite a bit. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the submarine, and during that time, people who are prone to motion sickness felt quite nauseous on the swaying boat. Once we boarded the submarine, it was calm and steady once submerged.

Underwater, the visibility was poor, and we couldn't see many fish. There were fish around the artificially sunk feeding area. I was a bit disappointed because the photos on the website looked too beautiful, and I had that image in mind. Additionally, inside the submarine, we only listened to explanations through headphones, and there was hardly any interaction from the crew, which was a bit disappointing. However, the elementary school-aged children seemed to enjoy it.

2歳の甥と家族で参加しました。身長が92cmギリギリだったので乗る前に検査でもあったらどうしようとドキドキしてましたが、特に検査もなく何も言われずに乗れました。
浜辺から潜水艦までの船が揺れます。また潜水艦を待ってる時間が10分くらいあり、その間も揺れる船上で待機のため酔いやすい人はかなり気持ち悪くなってました。潜水艦に乗船し、沈んでしまえば揺れもなく穏やかです。

沈むと海の中は濁っておりあまり魚が見えませんでした。人工的に沈められた餌場の周りには魚がいます。ホームページなどの写真が綺麗すぎるのでそのイメージでいたのでがっかりです。また、潜水艦の中はヘッドホンで説明を聞くだけで乗務員さんからの話はほとんど無いのでそれも少し残念です。小学生くらいの子供は楽しんでいました。

I have used it several times. Since Roberts has a lot of buses, I was able to depart almost immediately after exiting the group exit without much waiting. I will use it again.

何度か利用してます。
ロバーツは本数が多いので、団体出口を出たらほとんど待つことなく出発する事が出来ました。
また、利用させて頂きます。

I shared the ride with a few other customers, and they made sure to confirm the number of people, which was comfortable. I couldn't speak much Japanese, but even when I spoke to them in my broken English, they responded properly.

何組かのお客様と同乗ですが、人数確認もちゃんとしていて快適でした。日本語はあまり話せませんでしたが、こちらからつたない英語で話しかけてもきちんと答えてくれました。

I was able to see every corner of Waikiki. It felt great to be surrounded by the wind! ✌️ But, I was still scared because I couldn't touch the bottom. The mischievous, good-looking guy was funny!

ワイキキの隅々まで見渡せました。風をいっぱい受けてキモチ良かった〜〜✌️でも、やっぱり足がつかないのは怖かった〜いたずらっ子のイケ面お兄さんが面白かったよ

This was one of the greatest highlights of our whole vacation!! The staff were so friendly and kind. We shared the boat with other passengers who were on their honeymoons and on family vacations also. It was a great environment. And the kids had so much fun watching how they set up the parasails. The pictures turned out fantastic and it was overall amazing, I wish to come here again :)

I usually use a different shuttle company, but this time I couldn't make a reservation there, so I used this one. I was able to head to the airport smoothly.

いつもは違うシャトル会社ですが、今回はそこで予約できずこちらで。スムーズに空港に向かう事ができました。

My husband wanted to try surfing, so I joined him. It was my first experience with surfing.

We were picked up by car on the way there, and since the hotel (Moana Surfrider) was close, we walked back afterward. It took about 10 minutes.

The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable during the lesson. I also received a CD with photos taken during the lesson, and it was a really great experience. I participated thinking I would just be a companion, so I didn't have much stamina and had to return to the beach partway through (laughs). Paddling is quite tiring!!

夫がサーフィンをやってみたいと言うので参加しました。サーフィンは初体験でした。
行きは車で迎えに来てもらい、帰りはホテル（モアナサーフライダー）が近かったので歩いて帰りました。10分くらいです。

受付スタッフは日本語を喋れるかただったのでとても安心して受講できました。
レッスン中の写真を撮ったCDRもいただき、とても良い体験ができました。
私は付き添い程度のつもりで参加したので、体力もなく途中でビーチに帰らせてもらいました（笑）パドリング、結構疲れます!!

I used the service on the morning of August 22, 2017. After arriving at the airport, I stated my name and departed with three other groups in about five minutes. However, we returned to the airport's private exit and stopped there for 15 to 20 minutes without any explanation. No one boarded, and we departed. I was astonished by this incomprehensible behavior.

2017年8月22日朝利用。空港到着後、名前を告げて5分ぐらいで3組で出発。と思ったらまた空港の個人出口に戻り、そこで説明もなく１５～２０分停車。だれも乗らず出発。理解出来ない行動に唖然としました。

At Honolulu Airport, the domestic pickup is at the baggage claim area, where you'll meet and receive a lei, and then you'll be guided to the bus. The driver on the bus talked non-stop but was friendly. We stopped at three hotels.

ホノルル空港国内線でのピックアップは荷物受取場で合流、レイをかけてもらい荷物を受け取ったらバスまで案内してくれます。バスの中での運転手はずっとしゃべりっぱなしでしたがフレンドリーな感じです。ホテルは三ヶ所止まりました。

On August 17, I attended the Rock-a-Hula VIP dinner. First of all, by booking the VIP experience, you can enter earlier than general guests. While waiting for the opening time, hula dancers and singers come out to perform on a mini stage. Then, with excitement, we entered and were greeted by none other than Michael Jackson! We took a commemorative photo together! (This photo can be purchased with a frame.) As we moved further in, the staff welcomed us with a welcome drink and hors d'oeuvres. After relaxing for a while, we were shown to our seats. I thought the seating was a bit cramped, but once the meal started, it wasn't a big deal.

The food was five stars! Lobster arrived along with fruits and salad. I imagined it would be the kind of dry lobster served at weddings, but it was completely different. The meat was firm (but not tough) and came out easily from the shell, and it was delicious. The presentation was beautiful as well. Additionally, the main course of beef and Alaska salmon was served on warmed plates to keep the food from getting cold. What a thoughtful touch! The mashed potatoes on the side were also excellent. Overall, the portion sizes were just right, and it was a well-balanced meal.

By the time we finished the course, an announcement for the show began. The artists performing that day were Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Katy Perry. What a hit!! With captivating voices and dynamic dances, sometimes elegant and smooth. It was truly a stage where rock and hula merged. Even those who are not familiar with Western music can enjoy it fully!! I won't go into details, as the artists change depending on the day, and more than anything, I want everyone who will be going to experience the great excitement. Highly recommended!!

8月17日、ロック・ア・フラVIPディナー、いって参りました。
まず、VIPで申し込むと一般のお客さんより早く入場できます。
OPEN時間までの待ち時間、フラダンサーとシンガーがやってきてミニステージを見せてくれます。
そしてウキウキしながら入場。なんとマイケル・ジャクソンが出迎えてくれました！一緒に記念写真をパチリ！（この写真は台紙付きで購入できます。）さらに奥へと進むと、ウェルカムドリンクとオードブルでスタッフさんが歓迎してくれます。しばらくのんびりした後、席に案内されます。席は若干窮屈かな、と思いましたが、食事が始まるとそれほど気になりませんでした。

料理は５つ星です！フルーツやサラダと一緒にロブスターがやってきました。ああ、きっと結婚式で出てくるようなモソモソしたものなのだろうと想像していましたが、全くの別物でした。身がブリンと引き締まっていて（固くはないです）殻から取れやすく、おいしかったです。盛り付けも綺麗でした。また、メインのビーフ＆アラスカサーモンは、料理が冷めないよう温まったお皿にのって出てきました。うれしい心遣いです。付け合わせのマッシュポテトも最高でした。全体的に量が程よく、バランスのよいお食事でした。

コースを食べ終える頃、ショー開始のアナウンスが流れました。この日の出演アーティストは、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ケイティ・ペリーです。大当たり！！魅惑のボイスに躍動感あふれるダンス。時には優雅にしっとりと。正にロックとフラが融合したステージでした。洋楽に詳しくない方でも充分に楽しめます！！詳細内容にはふれないでおきましょう。日によってアーティストも変わりますし、何よりもこれから見に行く皆さんに大きな感動を味わっていただきたいので。イチオシです！！

The pickup arrived on time. We were able to sit comfortably in the spacious seats of the large bus. The guests heading to the remote island and the driver were excitedly discussing the great things about the island. The driving was safe.

お迎えも予定時間に来ました。大型バスで席もユッタリ座ることが出来ました。離島に行くお客さんと運転手の方が行く離島の良いところの話で盛り上がってました。安全運転でした。

I made a reservation because I was arriving at a late hour. I was able to move without any problems. I would like to use it again next time. ☆☆☆☆

到着が遅い時間帯だったので予約しました。何の問題もなく移動出来ましたよ。次回も利用したいです。☆☆☆☆

I watched the Rock of Ages show from the VIP seats! Upon entering, we were welcomed with a welcome drink, and then we enjoyed dinner. The lobster, salmon, and meat were all very filling, and we also got one free drink. The meat and bread were especially delicious.

As for the main show, overall I was satisfied, but it would have been even better if Michael and Elvis's songs had been more popular hits! That said, there were hula performances and fire dances, making for a rich experience!

ロックアフラショーをVIP席で見てきました！
入場してすぐウェルカムドリンクでもてなしがあり、中に入ってまずディナーをいただきます。
ロブスター、サーモン、お肉とボリューム満点で、ドリンクも一杯無料でついてます。お肉とパンが特においしかったです。
その後のメインのショーですが、全体的には満足なのですが、マイケルやエルビスの曲がもっとメジャーな曲だったら尚良しってかんじでした！
とは言え、フラあり、ファイヤーダンスありで充実の内容でした♪

We participated as a family of five. It was our first experience riding the waves right in the middle of Waikiki Beach, and everyone was thrilled. The guide was also attentive and explained everything well.

There was one downside: the activity time was short. Depending on the guide's discretion, it could end in about 15 to 20 minutes. We managed to ride the waves about three times. Since we asked to do a bit more, we ended up riding for around 30 minutes and about five times, but if you don't say anything, it could very well end in 15 to 20 minutes with just three rides. So, be cautious about that.

However, this is definitely one of the activities I would like to participate in again when we go back to Waikiki. We had a great time!

家族５人で参加
ワイキキビーチのど真ん中で波に乗るということを初めて体験でき、みんな大喜びでした。
ガイドも丁寧で説明も上手です。
難点が一点。アクティビティーの時間が短い。
ガイドの思いひとつで、１５～２０分程度で終わりの場合もあるようでした。
波に乗ることが３回程度でしょうか？
私たちは、もう少しやらせて欲しいと相談したので３０分、５回くらい波に乗りましたが
何も言わなければ１５～２０分、３回で終了もあり得ます。要注意ですね。
しかし、またワイキキに行くときには参加したいアクティビティーの一つですね。
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
