This time, my 9-year-old son, my husband, my mother-in-law in her 70s, and I participated together. The reception was a bit hard to find as it was located inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, across from the ABC Store. However, when I showed the voucher to the hotel staff, they kindly directed me to the reception area. When the time came, the staff gave a brief explanation (in all English), and then we all walked to the dock to board the boat. We were the only Japanese participants, which made us a bit anxious, but there were people from various countries joining us.

Once on the boat, the friendly staff explained snorkeling and talked to us in English. They patiently taught us how to inflate the life jackets, put on the fins, and wear the masks. As we listened to the explanations, we quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot and jumped into the sea! The beautiful ocean and numerous fish were amazing, and we even saw about five sea turtles up close! It was so close that it was surprising!

Additionally, soft drinks (like cola and Hawaiian drinks) and snacks were available for free, so we could eat whenever we felt a bit hungry.

After finishing snorkeling, we didn’t head back immediately but went sailing further out. We enjoyed many scenic views, even reaching the backside of Diamond Head. Sitting on the netting part of the boat while sailing was fantastic. We even spotted a whale, albeit briefly!

We had a very fulfilling time with snorkeling followed by sailing.

Here are some tips for those who will experience this:
1. If you are prone to motion sickness, be cautious as the boat can sway, and the waves during snorkeling can be intense. (I actually took motion sickness medication, but I still felt quite sick and had to return to the boat early. My son and husband, however, did not get sick and enjoyed the entire time.)
2. There are many other tours at the snorkeling spots, so there is a risk of getting separated if you get too absorbed in snorkeling. I made sure to stay close to our boat's staff.
3. Beginners in snorkeling may need to have some stamina. Fortunately, we were okay since we had some experience, but for first-timers, the wave height and moving to different spots might be challenging. However, it was nice that we could choose to return to the boat whenever we wanted.

I’ve mentioned three points, but overall, I am very satisfied!

今回、9歳の息子と私たち夫婦、70代ばあばの4人で参加しました。
受付はアウトリガーリーフワイキキビーチリゾートのホテル入って奥の方のABCストアの向かい側で初めてだと分かりずらいかもですが、ホテルのスタッフの方にバウチャー見せたら受付の場所を教えてもらえました。時間になるとスタッフの方が軽く説明をして（オール英語）、その後みんなで船着場まで歩き船に乗りました。日本人は私たちだけで不安でしたが、みなさん色々な国から参加されていました。
船に乗ると気さくなスタッフの方がシュノーケリングの説明や、色々英語で話してくれました。
ライフジャケットの空気の入れ方や、フィンの付け方、マスクの付け方など丁寧に教えてくれました。
説明を聞いているとすぐにシュノーケリングスポットにつき、いざ海へ！
綺麗な海とたくさんの魚、お目当ての海亀も五匹ほど間近で見れました！近すぎてびっくりするくらい！！
また、ソフトドリンク（コーラやハワイアンドリンク）や、スナックはフリーで食べれるので小腹が空いた時自由に食べれました。

最後シュノーケリングが終わった後はすぐに戻らず、さらに沖の方はセイリング。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側の方までいきたくさんの景色を楽しめました。やっとの網の部分に座ってのセーリングも最高でした。
最後に少しでしたがクジラも見えました！
シュノーケリングの、後のセーリングでとても充実した時間が過ごせました。

以下体験する方へのアドバイス
1、乗り物酔いする方は中々船の揺れや、シュノーケリングの、波も激しいので気おつけてください。（実際私は酔い止め飲みましたが途中で酔いがひどくなり先に船に戻りました。※息子や夫は酔わないので終始楽しんでいました。）
2、他のツアーがスポットにたくさんいるのでシュノーケリングに、没頭するとはぐれる危険性があります。こまめに自分の船のスタッフさんを連れての近くにいるようにしました。
3、シュノーケリング初心者は体力が必要かも。幸い私たちはシュノーケリングをしていたので大丈夫でしたが、初めての方だと波の高さや、スポットに毎回移動するのが困難かも
でも、船に戻りたくなったら先に戻っていいのでそこは自由で自身の判断でよかったです

3点書きましたが総合的には大満足です！

Had an amazing trip. Kind and friendly, locally owned and operated. Would highly recommend.

They arrived on time, and everything went very smoothly. I felt very secure during the ride to the airport. I would like to make a reservation from here again when I come to Hawaii!

時間通りに来てくれて、とてもスムーズでした。空港までとても安心して乗れました。またハワイにきた時はこちらから予約したいと思います！

I definitely wanted to see this when I came to Hawaii, so I made a reservation. The show was absolutely amazing. It went by in a flash, and I want to see it again.

ハワイに来たら絶対に観に行きたい！と思ってこちらから予約しました。ショーはとても最高でした。あっという間だったので、また観に行きたいです。

They came to pick me up right in front of the hotel, and since the driver and staff spoke Japanese, I felt安心 (at ease). Compared to other shared shuttle companies, they have a lot of destinations, so I think the cost performance is good.

ホテルの目の前まで迎えに来てくれて、日本語ドライバー兼スタッフさんでしたので、安心でした。他の混載送迎の会社に比べて送迎先がたくさんあるので、コスパも良いと思いました。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and the sea didn't look blue. However, before it started, the music was played loudly, and the guide was great at getting everyone excited, making it a very enjoyable memory! Thanks to the weather, I was able to take some good photos of Jaws, which was a nice surprise!

残念ながら天気は曇りで海が青く見えませんでした。でも始まる前に音楽が爆音でかけられてガイドさんも盛り上げ上手でとても楽しいいい思い出になりました！
天気のお陰で逆にジョーズのいい写真が撮れました笑

This was my first time using the service. The transportation to the accommodation was right in front of the entrance, which made it very convenient. The check-in at the airport was easy to understand, and the staff was cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease. I was also impressed that the bus was equipped to accommodate wheelchair users, showing their commitment to diversity.

今回初めて利用させていただきました。今回の宿泊先の目の前までの送迎だったので、とてもラクでした。空港での受付も分かりやすくスタッフも明るく親切で安心でした。また、車いす利用のお客様に対応したバスだったので、ダイバーシティ対応もできているんだと感心しました。

This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!

これは想像以上でした！！！
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い！
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に６人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。

I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.

First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.

Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)

However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!

Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.

Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!

今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。

まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました！海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。

潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑

でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています！

我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。

総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います！

really loved this hike, considerably easy while very immersive and out of the waikiki hustle and bustle!

Took my mom as she shares her bday with elvis, so we had to go all out! the rew treated us like ohana, thank you so much!!

Small and personal theater, the night was full of laughs and I loved the Hawaiian spin!

We had a large group, and this was easiest way for us to not have to figure out reservation. Just perfect time for hiking as well!

viewing was a bit foggy on the day we were there, but overall good time

It was better than I imagined. It felt like it went by in an instant. All the shows were amazing, and I was captivated. It was a very worthwhile experience.

想像以上に良かったです。あっという間に感じました。全てのショーが素晴らしく、目が釘付けになりました。非常に価値のある体験でした。

As we soared higher and higher, the view of Waikiki's streets and beaches from the sky was incredibly beautiful. We took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory.

ぐんぐん高くあがって、空から見るワイキキの街並みやビーチはとてもきれいでした
写真もたくさん撮ってくれてて、良い思い出になりました

With just my body, I soared into the blue sky! This is something only paragliding can offer. At a height where the boat looks tiny above the vast blue sea and beneath the blue sky, I felt like all the various efforts and struggles I've had in my 50 years of life were somehow rewarded. It was an experience that made me think I want to keep doing my best in the future and gave me a lot of energy. Being able to do something like this is only possible because I am healthy and full of vitality.

身体ひとつで青空へ‼️こんな事はパラセーリングしか出来ません。一面の青い海の上、青い空の下、ボートがとても小さく見えるくらいの高度。50年生きて来たいろんな事、頑張った事、なんだか報われた気がしました。これからの人生もまた頑張ろうと思えたり、凄く元気をもらえた体験でした。こんな事ができるのも、健康で元気あってこそ。

I saw a real Hawaiian show for the first time. It was definitely more powerful than watching it on TV, and I was glad to see the impersonation show as well.

初めて本場ハワイアンショーを見ました。
やはりテレビで見るより，迫力満点で、モノマネショーも見れたのが良かったです。

It was wonderful. I was very moved.
It had a great storyline, and it felt like it ended in the blink of an eye. After the performance, I took photos with some of the cast members.

素敵でした。とても感動しました。
ストーリー性があり、あっという間に終わった感じでした。舞台が終了してから、一部の出演者と一緒に写真を撮ってもらいました。

It might be because the wind was strong, but all four of us—two adults and two children—took off at once! I'm glad it became a memorable experience! Both the 10-year-old boy and the 8-year-old girl said it was not scary at all and that they had fun! The staff entertained the kids wonderfully.

風が強いからか大人2人子供2人の4人で一斉に飛びました！記念になって良かったです！10歳男子も8歳女子も全然怖くない、楽しいと言っていました！スタッフの方が子供達を楽しませてくれました。

First of all, the rich experience is amazing! Since it's a hotel in Waikiki, it's easy to walk back after your stay. When we arrived, we were greeted in Japanese and given flower leis before the buffet started. During the meal, there was a hula dance show, which was a lot of fun. The buffet was delicious, and the desserts were also tasty, so I was very satisfied. Additionally, towards the end of the buffet, they offered a short hula dance lesson, which everyone enjoyed, and it was really great.

The main show was very luxurious, and I was entertained from start to finish without getting bored. In particular, the fire performance was breathtaking. I want to see it again the next time I come. At the end of the show, there was a photo opportunity with the performers, allowing us to take a two-shot, which became a wonderful memory! I definitely want to go again.

まず、リッチが最高です！ワイキキのホテルだと徒歩で行けるので帰りも楽です。
着いたら日本語で受付をしていただき、お花の首飾りをかけてもらってからビュッフェが始まります。ご飯中もフラダンスのショーがあり、楽しかったです。ビュッフェは味も美味しく、デザートも美味しかったので満足でした。また、ビュッフェの終盤には短時間でフラダンスレッスンをしてくださり、参加者みんなで楽しめてとてもよかったです。
本番のショーはとても贅沢で、最初から最後まで飽きることなく楽しめました。
特に、火を使うパフォーマンスは圧巻でした。次に来た時も見に行きたいと思いました。ショーの終わりには、パフォーマーの方との写真撮影タイムがあり、ツーショットを撮れるので思い出になりました！
また行きたいです。

I could see it well from a distance. The weather was nice, and I appreciated that they were considerate even though I couldn't speak much English.

遠くからだったけど、よく見えました。天気も良く、色々英語が話せないことでも、気を使ってくれて良かったです

The tour is not good at all and I did not see fish and other sea animals

A friend who experienced it with me was not good with heights, but they said they were completely fine and glad they participated. I wanted to stay longer because the views were beyond my expectations. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem.

一緒に体験した友人が高いところが苦手でしたが全く大丈夫で参加して良かったと言ってました。私は予想以上の景色でもっといたいと思うほど。スタッフは日本語は通じませんが問題なしです。

The venue is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, conveniently situated in the heart of Honolulu. Upon checking in, I was greeted with a lei service. First, there was a meal time, which included a Mai Tai cocktail and one drink of your choice. The meal was served buffet-style in order after being guided to our seats. During the meal, there was hula dancing, but I could only see the dancers from behind. I wanted to have dessert, but before I knew it, a ukulele performance started nearby (though it wasn't very good), and there was a request for a $10 tip. It was unfortunate that the meal time ended so hurriedly.

However, after moving to the second half of the showtime venue, the VIP treatment made me feel fantastic! I had a central seat right in front of the stage. The beautiful dancers performed hula, and the host and singer resembled Rumiko Koyanagi. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were so convincing that it felt like I was watching the real stars. I had a great time right in front of the stage. After leaving the venue, I even took photos with Michael and Elvis, creating wonderful memories.

The collaboration of rock and hula dancing was the best! This is a show I highly recommend if you come to Hawaii!

会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあり、ホノルル街の中央で便利な場所。受付をすると早速、レイのサービス。最初に食事の時間があり、マイタイカクテル＆好きなドリンク1杯がついていました。食事は案内されてから順番にバイキング形式。食事中はフラダンスをしていたが席からは後ろ姿しか見えなかった。デザートも食べたかったが、いつのまにか脇でウクレレ演奏が始まり(余り上手ではなかったのに）チップ10💲の催促。最後は食時間があわただしく終わってしまったのが残念。
が、食事タイム移動後、後半のショータイム会場のVIP 対応に気分は最高！ステージ目の前中央の席。美しいダンサー達のフラダンスや小柳ルミ子似の司会＆歌手。エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンもまるで本人達のショーかと思うほど演技と迫力。また目の前でとても楽しませてもらいました。会場を出てからマイケルやエルビスと写真も撮ったりと思い出になりました。
ロックとフラダンスのコラボレーション。最高でした！ハワイに来たらお勧めのショーです♪

The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.

送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…

They have different level and am the total beginner.

Can park at zoo entrance - walking distance if have a car.

The instructor is very patient and it's family friendly.

They took us quite far out, and we were able to see whales. It was a wonderful experience. I've also been on a sunset cruise, but the morning cruise was better.

かなり沖まで行ってくれて、クジラを見ることが出来ました
素晴らしい体験でした
サンセットで乗船したこともありますが、午前のクルーズの方が、良かったです

I had a seat quite far forward in the Golden Circle, and it was much closer to the stage than I had imagined, which was fantastic. Because I was so close to the stage, I was able to focus on the show, and there were many entertaining performances that made me laugh out loud several times. Additionally, in the relaxed atmosphere unique to Hawaii, I felt a sense of unity in the venue. It truly became a wonderful experience! Thank you very much!

ゴールデンサークルシートの結構前の方の席だったのですが、想像していたより舞台と近くて、すごく良かったです。
舞台との距離が近かった分、集中してショーを観ることができましたし、お客様を楽しませる演出などもたくさん盛り込まれていて、声をあげて笑ってしまったシーンがいくつもありました。
また、ハワイならではのリラックスした雰囲気の中で、会場の一体感を感じました。
本当に素敵な経験になりました！ありがとうございました！

The driver was already waiting at the front desk when I checked out for my ride to the airport. He smoothly took me to the airport.

ホテルから空港行きでしたが、ドライバーさんはチェックアウト時にすでにフロントで待っていてくれました。スムーズに空港まで送ってくださいました。
