I called to change the pickup time considering the traffic congestion on the day, but I was really relieved that the driver arrived as scheduled.

当日になって交通渋滞を考えてピックアップ時刻を変えたいと思って電話しましたが、連絡通りに迎えが来て本当に安心しました。

I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.

The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.

半日かけたツアーに参加しないとウミガメには会えないかなと思っていたのですが、ワイキキ界隈で2、3時間程度で催行してくれるツアーでとても良かったです。

インストラクターの方が、ウミガメいる場所を随時教えてくれながらのシュノーケリングだった為、ついていけば会える！が叶えられました。何匹ものウミガメと、一緒に泳げたのがとても嬉しかったです。またハワイに行ったらお願いしようと思います。

It was my first time parasailing! The location was clearly indicated with instructions on how to input it into Google Maps, so I was able to get there without getting lost!

As soon as we set off, they asked if I wanted to take pictures and took some for me, but I was a bit nervous because there was no prior information about the cost of purchasing the photos. (It was $40 for sharing to my smartphone and receiving an SD card.) I wish they had informed us about this beforehand.

That said, the experience itself was amazing! When I participated, there were four groups (a total of eight people), and each flight lasted about five minutes, which was very satisfying! After returning, we high-fived each other and took photos together, and later shared them via AirDrop. It was a wonderful encounter when we happened to meet again at a restaurant that night and chatted a bit!

Taking motion sickness medication is a must! While the other three groups were flying, we had to wait on the boat, which rocked quite a bit, so it made me feel nauseous... I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit sick.

初めてのパラセーリングでした！
場所はGoogleマップの時はこれで入力してね。と丁寧に記載があったので迷わず行けました！
出発してすぐに、写真撮る？と声を掛けて頂き写真を撮って頂きましたが事前の説明で写真の購入にいくらかかるのか？がなかったため少しドキドキしていましたw（40ドルでスマホへの共有とSDカードを頂きました）
この辺の説明も事前に知らせて頂けたらなと思いました。
とはいえ体験自体は最高でした！
私が参加した時は4組（合計8名）で一組の飛行時間は5分程でしたが大満足でした！
他の参加者の方とも戻ってきたらハイタッチしたりお互いに写真を撮りあって終わったあとにAirDropで送りあったり、その日の夜にたまたま飲食店で再会し少しお話できたり素敵な出会にもなりました！

酔い止めは必須です！
他3組が飛んでいる間は船で待機なのですが結構揺れるので酔います…
酔い止めを飲んで行ったのですが、それでも気持ち悪くなりました…

During Dinner Everyone So Kind and Nice !! We had our baby and a stroller and they went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. They were extra kind to our little one. A good family vibe.

For most of our group this was their first time snorkeling. Ryan was so patient, helpful and supportive, and gave great instructions — we highly recommend snorkeling in the Magic Island Lagoon for first timers. And with Ryan’s excellent support, videos of our experience, and patience we all had an awesome time. Be sure to heed the 30 minutes early arrival as we had a difficult time finding them (no sign) but they were near life station 1G which should be communicated in advance. We still got started right on time so it all worked out.

I was able to see the stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above in the best weather!! I definitely want to go again!!

ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景を上空から最高の天気の中で観れました!! また絶対に行きたいな!!

We purchased tickets for the show only but walked past the all-you-can-eat buffet and I must say, it looked very good.
The show was very entertaining and well worth the money. I'd recommend this to anyone.

I went on the first day of our arrival in Hawaii with my mom! It was so much fun! I'm glad we went on the first day, feeling like "We made it to Hawaii!"

お母さんと2人でハワイ到着日に行きました！
楽しかったー！ハワイきました！って感じで初日に行って良かったです！

It was a bit cramped, but there wasn't any shaking, and there were lots of cute fish at the artificial reef, making for a very meaningful time. However, I probably wouldn't go on it a second time. The boat to the submarine was nice too! I definitely recommend it.

ちょっと狭いけど特に揺れたりすることもなく人工魚礁に可愛い魚が一杯でとても有意義な時間でした。
でも二回乗ることはないかな
潜水艦までの船も良かったね～
けっこうお勧めてすよ

I used Uber to get to the meeting place, but I ended up at a different port. I couldn't get through on the phone and thought it was hopeless, but I really wanted to go parasailing, so I went to the meeting place with a glimmer of hope. In the end, I was able to reschedule, and I am very grateful! The staff were very kind and it was a lot of fun, making for great memories.

If you're driving, be aware that there are several spots (ports) for parasailing, and in the morning, traffic can double the travel time, so caution is needed. I recommend doing it as you can enjoy a panoramic view of Hawaii.

集合場所までUberを使用したところ違う港に着いてしまい、電話も繋がらずもう駄目だろうなと思いながらもどうしてもパラセーリングしたかったので僅かな希望をもち集合場所に行きました。
結果リスケして貰えることになり、とても感謝しています！泣
スタッフの方もとても優しくとても楽しく、いい思い出になりました。
車で行く場合はパラセーリングといったスポット(港)が数箇所あるのと、朝は渋滞で倍以上時間がかかるので注意が必要です。
ハワイを一望出来るのでやることをお勧めします。

It's a submarine journey that you can't experience anywhere else in Japan. I was able to capture a photo of a sea turtle. I was very lucky.

日本国内では体験のできない潜水艦の旅です。
ウミガメの姿が写真に収めることができました。
とてもラッキーでした。

I made a reservation and payment for two people for parasailing on the first day of our three-day trip, arriving at 13:30.

After arriving, I changed into my swimsuit and sent my suitcase off, keeping only the essentials. However, I received an SMS at 11:20, ten minutes before the airport shuttle bus was scheduled to depart, informing me that all activities for the day were canceled due to strong winds.

After that, I had the option to either rebook or cancel for a refund, and I chose to rebook. I couldn't choose for the second day, but I successfully rebooked for the third day at 9:30. Since it wasn't due to my own circumstances, there was no change fee.

On the day of the activity, the original meeting time was 9:00, but due to a change in plans, I arrived an hour early at 8:00 by rental car. I changed and prepared at a nearby free parking lot. Although I arrived early, I was able to check in after consulting with the staff. I also confirmed the location of the free parking lot to ensure there were no issues.

We regrouped at 9:10, and by 9:20, our group of three, along with two other groups, boarded and set off. There is space to store luggage at your feet.

Once we were out at sea, parasailing began. You can take selfies and videos, but if it's your first time, you'll be battling fear while trying to operate your smartphone in a waterproof case under direct sunlight, so getting good photos and videos may depend on luck.

The staff also offers a service to take photos with a professional camera for $40, which I think is worth considering.

I won't spoil the details of the flight, but it was a very enjoyable and great experience.

As for tips, we gave $20 after returning to the port, retrieving our wallet from the trunk of the car. I’m not sure about the other two groups regarding their tips.

In conclusion, it became one of my best memories. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once!

事前に現地稼働可能な3日うち現地到着初日13:30で2名予約&決済。

現地着後にパラセイリング参加のため水着への着替えと最低限荷物保持しスーツケース発送完了し空港連絡バス発車10分前の11:20に強風で同日全てキャンセルのSMSを受信。

その後は再予約をするかキャンセル返金するかを選べる状況になり再予約を実施。2日目は選べず3日目9:30で再予約実施。自己都合では無いので変更手数料は0円でした。

当日は本来なら30分前9:00集合でしたが、予定を組み直した結果レンタカーで現地に行く事になり予定より1時間早い8:00に到着し付近の無料駐車場にて着替えなど準備実施。集合より早いが相談してチェックインもできました。無料駐車場の場所も念のため確認してもらい問題ない事も確認できました。

9:10再集合になり、9:20には他2組と自分達3組が搭乗して出港。荷物は足下に収納するスペースあります。

沖に出てパラセイリング開始となります。
自撮りで写真や動画も撮影可能ですが初めてだと上空で恐怖心と戦いながら防水ケースに入ったスマホを直射日光下で操作することになるので良い写真動画が撮れるかは運次第になると思います。

スタッフが船から40ドルで一眼カメラで写真撮影するサービスもあるので検討すると良いかと思います。

フライト内容はネタバレになるので書きませんが、とても楽しく良い経験になります。

チップは自分たちは2人で20ドルを帰港後に車のトランクにしまっておいた財布を取りに行ってから渡しました。他2組はチップ有無は不明でした。

結論、最高の思い出の一つになりました。一度はチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。おすすめします。

I used this for my honeymoon. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I made a reservation here in advance. There were many foreigners around, and I was initially anxious about my English, but I managed even without speaking much.

After the buffet, there was a hula dance lesson that interested participants could join.

I really enjoyed the show, but I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could understand English better. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were quite a few empty seats, but I think it's a great deal to enjoy a buffet and a show at this price!

新婚旅行で利用しました。
初めてのハワイということもあり、事前に予約ができるこちらを予約しました。
周りは外国人の方が多く、もともと英語に不安がありましたが話せなくてもなんとかなります。
ビュッフェのあとには、フラダンスのレッスンがあり希望者は参加ができます。

ショーはとても楽しめましたが、英語が理解できたらより楽しめたのかなぁと思いました。
平日だったからなのか、空席が結構ありましたが、このお値段でビュッフェ、ショーが観れるのはお得だと思います！

It became my best memory in Hawaii!!! It's a thrilling and the best activity. The flight time was just right, and both crew members were amazing. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

ハワイで1番の思い出になりました！！！スリル満点でベストアクティビティです。滞空時間なども丁度良く、クルーのお二人も皆最高です。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

There were many participants, and it felt like a dinner show. We had to wait quite a while to get our food. The Mai Tai was a bit too sweet.

参加者が多くてディナーショーの雰囲気でした。料理を取るのにもかなり待ちました。マイタイは少し甘すぎでした。

Asked for a vehicle to accommodate 2 wheelchairs, but the vehicle could only handle one.

The dinner cruise on Star of Honolulu was awesome. The crew were very welcoming and efficient. The dancers were terrific-we really enjoyed them and how close to the audience they were. But the food was the best part. Crab legs, beef and chicken with all the trimmings. Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

When we boarded the boat, a wave came at just the right moment, and we got completely soaked (laughs). I participated with my two small children, and the tour guides were very friendly, talking a lot with the kids! It rained and got cold along the way, so parents might want to bring a hooded sweatshirt or raincoat. The moment we saw a large group of turtles and dolphins was truly moving! The kids were overjoyed!

船に乗り込む時波が来るタイミングで全身ずぶ濡れになりました（笑）
小さい子供2人連れての参加でしたが添乗員の方々とてもフレンドリーで子供達にもたくさん話しかけてくれました！
途中雨が降って寒かったので子持ちの方はフード付きのパーカーかカッパを持参したほうが良いかもしれません。。
カメやイルカの大群が見えた瞬間はとても感動！子供達も大喜びでした！

Despite my fear of heights, I took on the challenge! The view from 150 meters above was breathtaking. The meeting point was a bit hard to find, though (laughs). The hut was smaller than I expected!

高所恐怖症ながらチャレンジ！上空150メートルの眺めは絶景でした。ちょっと集合場所がわかりずらかったなあ(笑)小屋が思ったより小さい！

One of the joys of going to Hawaii is being able to see Presley. I have been a big fan since he was alive. I got to see him again this time. From a distance, this Presley looked quite similar to him. His physique, voice, and singing were nearly perfect. The venue was at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is close to the hotel, and even better, there is a food court on the second floor of this building where we had dinner. He sang six songs, including "Blue Hawaii" and "My Way." His show can't be seen without going to Las Vegas, but this one is not inferior; at the end, you can take a photo together. I highly recommend it.

ハワイに行く一つの楽しみは、プレスリーに会えることです。彼が生きている頃から、大のファンでした。今回も会えました。今回のプレスリーは遠目には顔もよく似ていました。体形、声、歌も満点に近い存在でした。会場は　ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターにあり、ホテルから近くであり、さらにいいことはこの建屋の2階にはフードコートがあります、ここで夕食を済ませて行きました。ブルーハワイ、そして最後にマイウェーなど6曲も歌ってくれました。彼のショーはラスベガスに行かないと見れませんが、ここはそれに引け劣りません、最後には一緒に写真も撮ってくれます。おすすめです。

It was so much fun, a great adventure, beautiful views! The crew was great!

Very Prompt, and Helpful!
Would recommend, made it easy to get to our destination without any stress.

A while ago when I participated, I was seated front and back, but this time it was side by side for parasailing, so I was able to enjoy it while chatting! We went quite high up, and I was able to enjoy the wonderful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head!

ずいぶん前に参加したときは、前後で乗ったのですが、今回は横並びのパラセーリングだったので、会話しながら楽しむことができました！
大分高いところまで上がるので、ワイキキの町並みやダイアモンドヘッドの素晴らしい景色を楽しめました！

I arrived a little early, and the staff greeted me, allowing me to take photos with the hula dancers, enjoy the ukulele, and have some drinks. The food was delicious as well. I think it would be nice to have a bit more Hawaiian cuisine. The show was wonderful, and I had a great time. I was seated in the second row, center, so I could see the performers' expressions clearly. I was also able to take a photo with Michael and Elvis at the end. It was a different kind of enjoyment compared to the hula show at the Hilton.

少し早めに到着しましたが、受付の方に声掛けいただき、フラダンサーとの写真撮影・ウクレレ・飲み物などの対応を受けました。
食事も美味しかったです。もう少しハワイらしい料理が多いと良いかなとは思います。
ショーもすばらしく楽しく過ごせました。場所も２列目真ん中で表情まではっきりと見えました。
マイケル･エルビスとも最後に写真を一緒にとれました。
ヒルトンのフラショーとは違う楽しみ方ができ楽しめました。

The staff communicated in basic English, but they assisted us immediately when we showed the voucher. Since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, we arrived second. I carried my suitcase to the exit myself when getting off, but the driver helped with unloading. We gave a tip, but it was impressive to see the driver’s puzzled expression when some of the other passengers did not.

基本英語での対応でしたが、バウチャーを見せるとすぐに対応してもらいました。宿泊がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジだったので二番目に到着しました。
スーツケースは下車時は自身で出口まで運びましたが、ドライバーがおろすのは手伝ってくれました。
私たちはチップを渡しましたが、他の乗客の一部が渡さなかったので、ドライバーが怪訝な表情をしていたのが印象的でした。

I chose this because it has good access from hotels around Waikiki and the travel time by boat is short. Since it's a boat ride, I think some people might get seasick, but it's only about a 10-minute boat ride from Waikiki Beach, so it might be bearable?? There is some rocking, so if you're worried, it's definitely a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

You can opt to have photos taken, and payment is made afterward. You need to communicate in English with the captains to request photos (if you don't ask, they won't take any). I thought they would just take a few casual shots, but they actually took quite a number of photos and even considered the composition carefully. They managed to capture beautiful shots with passing boats and planes, and I was very satisfied.

The woman at the reception was kind and greeted us with a smile, and she helped me when I was looking for the restroom (there was a restroom about a 2-minute walk away).

I gave a $20 tip to the captains when we disembarked. Thank you to all the staff for an amazing experience!

ワイキキ周辺のホテルからアクセスがよく、船での移動時間も短いという理由から申し込みしました。
船での移動ということもあり、船酔いする方もいらっしゃると思いますがワイキキビーチから10分ほど船を走らせるくらいなのでギリギリ耐えられるかも？？揺れはあるので心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのが間違いないです。
オプションで写真をとってもらうことができますが支払いは後払いです。船の上で、キャプテンたちに写真をとってほしいと英語で伝える必要がありました(伝えないと写真は撮ってもらえません)。適当に何枚か撮ってくれるだけかなと思っていましたが、結構な枚数を撮影してくれており、構図までしっかり考えてくれていました。たまたま通りかかった船や飛行機と綺麗に撮ってくれていて大満足でした。
受付の女性も、優しく笑顔で対応してくれて、トイレを探して困っていたところを助けてくれました(徒歩2分くらいのとこにトイレありました)。
チップは20ドルをキャプテンたちに渡して下船しました。
スタッフのみなさま最高な体験をありがとうございました。

We gathered 30 minutes before the parasailing started. It was a bit far from our hotel, but we were able to get there without any issues using thebas. We boarded the boat with other participants and headed out to sea. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I think it's essential to take motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness. The view during parasailing was breathtaking!!! It was the best!!! You can get the data from your parasailing experience later for $40. Payment of $40 can also be made by credit card.

パラセーリング開始30半前に集合します。当方の宿泊ホテルから少し離れていましたが、thebasを使い問題なく向かうことができました。他の参加者と共に船に乗り込み、沖に向かいます。結構揺れるので、船酔いする方は酔い止め必須だと思います。パラセーリング中の景色は絶景です！！！最高でした！！！パラセーリング中のデータを後で40ドルでもらうことが出来ます。40ドルはクレカでも支払い可能でした。

Once gathered, we will split into groups and head to the sea by boat. Two people will take turns paragliding. You can enjoy the wonderful scenery for about five minutes! The equipment is not particularly difficult to use, so I think it will be fine.

集合したら各グループに別れボートで海へ向かいます。
2人ずつ順番にパラセイリングを行います。
5分ほど飛び、素晴らしい絶景をたのしむことができます！
装備品も特に難しいものはないので大丈夫だと思います。

A couple in their 70s has experienced Hawaii several times in the past and is well aware of its charm. However, they have recently become more aware of their declining physical strength and decided to enjoy one last trip to Hawaii while they are still able to move around.

In previous trips, they prioritized visiting various tourist spots, and the only show they had seen was over a decade ago at the Polynesian Cultural Center. This time, they considered revisiting the center for its grand show, but due to the distance, they learned that there was a show very close to their hotel in Waikiki and decided to sign up for it on a whim.

To their surprise, the show turned out to be quite professional, featuring not only beautiful hula and intense Polynesian dances but also performances by impersonators of the late popular stars, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. They realized that if this were the real deal, it would be incredibly difficult to obtain tickets even for a hefty sum, and they both agreed on that.

After the show, there was a meet-and-greet with the artists and a photo opportunity, which added to their experience. On the way back to the hotel, they felt that just being able to see such a show made the trip to Hawaii worthwhile, and they were very satisfied, especially when his wife showed off a photo of herself with the beloved "Presley."

70歳代の夫婦、ハワイ旅行は過去にも何度か体験してハワイの魅力を十分認識しておりますが、最近とみに体力の衰えを自覚するようになり、身体が動くうちにもう1度、と今回が最後のつもりでハワイ旅行を楽しんで来ました。
数年前までは、ハワイの色んな観光スポットを巡ることを優先していた関係で、ショーを鑑賞したのは10数年前の「ポリネシアカルチャーセンター」でのショーが1度きり。
今回の旅行でも、久し振りにそこを訪れて豪華ショーを鑑賞しようかとも思ったのですが、距離的にちょっときつかったので、ワイキキの宿泊ホテルからすぐ近くでもショーがあるのを知り、ちょっと覗いてみようかと軽い気持ちで申し込みました。
ところが、これがなかなか本格的なショーで、華麗なフラや激しいポリネシアンダンスだけでなく、今は亡き人気スター、エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんの歌やパフォーマンスまであって、しかもそれを中央前方のVIP席で鑑賞できるなんて、これが本物だったらン十万払ってもチケット入手は困難だろうなと家内とも納得し合ったりもして。
またショーが終わっての帰りには、出場アーティストたちとの握手会や記念撮影サービスなどもあって至れり尽くせり。
こんなショーを観れただけでも、ハワイに来た甲斐があったよね、とホテルへの帰り道、あこがれの"プレスリー"との２ショット写真を私に見せながら大満足の家内でした。

My three grandchildren and daughter participated. I was worried that the grandchildren might say they were scared and wouldn't go, but they came down saying they had an amazing time. The receptionist was also very polite and explained everything well, making it a wonderful memory.

孫3人と娘が参加しました
孫達が怖いと飛ばないと言い出すのでないかと
思ってたらめちゃくちゃ楽しかったと
降りて来ました
受付のお姉さんも丁寧に説明してくださって
楽しい思いでになりました
