First day in Hawaii. My son and I were looking forward to the Segway tour. The moment I met the person who came to pick us up and greeted them, I had a good feeling that today would be a great day! That feeling was spot on! We got to see the beautiful ocean, and the guide and staff were very kind. The conversations during the Segway ride were really enjoyable, creating wonderful memories. It was my first time, but there was plenty of practice time, and they provided support and consideration for the order when moving alongside others, which made me feel safe. Thank you very much. I had such a great time this time that I would like to request it again next time.

ハワイ初日。息子と楽しみにしていたセグウェイ。
お迎えに来て下さった方に会い挨拶をした瞬間、今日はいい１日になりそう！と良い予感がしました。
予感は的中！綺麗な海を見せて頂け、ガイドさんとスタッフの方がとても親切でセグウェイ中もお話が凄く楽しく素敵な思い出になりました。私は初めてでしたが、練習時間もたっぷりあり、他の方と並んで進む時の順番の配慮やサポートもして下さり安心してのる事ができました。ありがとうございました。
今回凄く楽しかったので次回もまたお願いしたいと思います。

I participated in the initial practice for snorkeling because I was anxious about going out to sea the next day. Since it was my first experience with snorkeling, the calm waves made it a great place for beginners. All the instructions were in English. They explained how to put on the gear, how to breathe, and the precautions. After that, we practiced in an area where we couldn't touch the bottom. It was mentioned that there was a locker for valuables, but all participants' belongings were placed in a large box with a lock, which was mostly left open. It's better not to bring valuables.

Since it was the same location as scuba diving, it seemed there were staff members coming and going. There were only park restrooms and an outdoor shower. This time, there were two children and me, along with two Americans in our group. For those who can't swim, the instructor pulls a float, so you can hold on and practice. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels anxious about going straight into the sea.

翌日の海に出てシュノーケリングが不安だったのでの初練習として参加。初体験シュノーケリングなので参加して波が穏やかで、初体験の場所として良かったです。説明は全て英語です。付け方や息の仕方の方法、注意事項を説明その後は足が付かない所でずっと練習、貴重品ロッカーと書いてありましたが、大きな鍵付きの箱の中に参加者全員の荷物を入れる、ほぼ開けっぱなしです。貴重品は持たない方が良いですね。
スキューバダイビングと同じ場所なので入れ違いで誰かスタッフがいるようでした。
公園のトイレと外にシャワーがあるだけです。
今回は子供2人と私、アメリカ人2人のグループでした。泳げない人はインストラクターが浮き具を引いてくれるので捕まって練習してました。
いきなり海に開くのが不安な方にはとてもお勧めです。

I participated with my high school first-year daughter. Thanks to the heartfelt advice from our instructor, Ms. Lanika, my daughter was able to stand on the board and seems to have fallen in love with surfing! We considered private lessons afterward, but unfortunately, our schedules didn't align, so we had to give up on that. I apologize for not being able to get in touch. I would be thrilled if Ms. Lanika could be our instructor again when we participate together someday. Thank you so much!

高1の長女と二人で参加しました。
担当していただいたLanika先生の親身にアドバイスのお陰様でボードの上に立つことも出来て長女はサーフィンが大好きになったみたいです！その後プライベートレッスンを検討しましたがスケジュールが合わず断念しました。ご連絡出来ず申し訳ございませんでした。またいつか長女と参加した時に担当がLanika先生だと嬉しいです。本当にありがとうございました！

My first time on a Segway.
At first, I was scared, but I got used to it quickly. Turning right and left and zipping through the wind was so much fun!
The guide's stories were interesting, and I got to take a lot of photos.
The two hours flew by, and next time I want to join the course that goes to downtown.
Thank you for a wonderful time!

初めてのセグウェイ。
最初は怖かったけどすぐに慣れました。右に左に曲がったり風を切って走ったり、楽しい！
ガイドさんのお話も面白いし、いっぱい写真も撮っていただきました。
あっという間の2時間、次回はダウンタウンに行くコースに参加したいです。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

It was a wonderful experience for beginners. Our instructor was patient and explained everything thoroughly. I liked that we snorkeled in a cove making the waters calm.

I usually come with my family, so I often use a rental car, but this time I was alone, so I used it for the first time. I had heard there was a kiosk after the immigration procedures, but since they were waiting with a name board, I recognized them immediately. I was guided to the bus right away, which was stress-free. Thank you very much.

いつもは家族で来るためレンタカー利用が多いのですが、今回１人でしたので初めて利用しました。
入国手続き後、KIOSKがあると聞いていましたが、ネームボードを持ってお待ちいただいていたため、直ぐにわかりました。
直ぐにバスに案内いただきストレスフリーでした。ありがとうございました。

The hotel was relatively on the west side (closer to the airport), so the pickup time was about 20 minutes later than scheduled. Since I had been waiting from a bit earlier, it felt long. This was my first time using this service as I was alone, and waiting for a long time can make one feel a bit anxious. However, they arrived on time, and there were no issues with the arrival time at the airport.

ホテルが比較的西側（空港寄り）だったためか、ピックアップ時間が予定より20分程度遅い時間でした。
少し早めの時間から待っていたので長く感じました。
今回１人だったので初めて利用しましたが、待っている時間が長いと少々不安になりますね。
でも、しっかり来ていただき空港到着時間も問題ありませんでした。

There was a bit of a wait for the buffet, but there were plenty of Hawaiian dishes like roast beef, teriyaki chicken, and fried fish, including lomi lomi salmon, so I was able to eat to my heart's content. The drinks were delicious too; my favorite was the lava flow. The show was a surprisingly authentic performance. The quick costume changes and powerful performances were truly amazing!

ビュッフェの待ち時間は多少ありましたが、ローストビーフや照り焼きチキン、お魚のフライ
ロミロミサーモンなどハワイらしい料理もたくさんあってお腹いっぱい食べれました。
ドリンクも美味しかったです。ラバフローがお気に入りです。
ショーは予想以上に本格的なパフォーマンスでした。皆さん早着替え、迫力あるパフォーマンス本当にすごいです…！

It was amazing to be able to go around the back side of Diamond Head! The boat sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness should be careful. There was also alcohol available, but I didn't use it.

ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで回れて最高でした！船は結構揺れるので、船酔いされるかたは注意です。アルコールの提供もありましたが、利用はしていません。

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time parasailing. The meeting place was easy to find, and the staff at the reception were friendly. Along with the captain and crew, we set off with other foreign tourists. We were the first ones to go parasailing among the passengers. Not knowing what to expect, we quickly ascended into the sky! Despite being a bit scared, I was captivated by the beautiful scenery. It felt like we were taking a stroll in the air over Hawaii, even feeling a little bit of turbulence along the way. Although it lasted only about 10 minutes, I was satisfied with the thrill and breathtaking views that you can't experience in everyday life. At first, I was too nervous, so I would love to go again with a calmer mindset. I wonder when my next trip to Hawaii will be...

ハワイは何度か行っていますが、今回初パラセイリングでした。
集合場所はわかりやすく、受付の方も親切でした。
キャプテンとクルーに加えて私たちと外国人の観光客の方たちで出発。
乗客に中で、私たちが一番最初にパラセイリング。
勝手がわからずドンドンと上空へ！ビビりながらも景色の良さに惚れ惚れしました。途中ちょっとの揺れなども感じながらハワイの空中を散歩している感じです。
正味10分程度なのですが、日常では味わえないスリルと感動の景色に満足しました。最初の頃はビビりすぎていたので、心にゆとりを持ってもう一回行きたいですね。次回のハワイはいつになることか…

We participated as a couple in our fifties.
It was our first time surfing, and I was worried because the instructions were in English.
There were two instructors for our group of six.
They were very attentive and made sure that I, the least skilled among us, wasn't left behind by frequently checking on me.
I am truly grateful for that.
During the two-hour session, I was able to ride three times.
I’m happy to have had the experience of surfing in the waters of Hawaii.

As for the drone, it cost $75 for two people.
At the same time, there was a group of eight doing SUP, and they also requested the drone.
The drone filmed both surfing and SUP with one unit.
The data we received included footage and photos of the SUP participants as well.
(I believe it was all the data captured during that time.)
This means that our footage and photos were also shared with the SUP group, which honestly bothered me.

Additionally, since surfing and SUP were conducted in slightly different locations, I think there was inevitably less footage and photos of us.
I noticed that there were more images and videos from the SUP group since their data was included as well. (Of course, the number of participants plays a role in this.)

Surfing itself was a lot of fun, and I was sore not just the next day but from that very day, but it was truly enjoyable.
When you come to Hawaii, I think engaging in activities that are characteristic of Hawaii is a great idea!

アラフィフ夫婦で参加。
初めてのサーフィン、英語の説明ということもあり、心配でした。
6名に2名のインストラクターがついてくれました。
とても気にかけて下さり、6名の中で一番へたな私が置いていかれないように、よく声をかけてくださりました。
本当に感謝です。
2時間の間に３回乗れることができました。
ハワイの海でサーフィンの体験ができたことがうれしいです。

ドローンですが、2人で75ドルでした。
同じ時間にＳＵＰの方（8人1グループ）がおり、その方たちもドローンをお願いしていました。
ドローン1台でサーフィンとＳＵＰの両方を撮影していました。
いただいたデータは、ＳＵＰの方の映像・写真も入っていました。
（同じ時間に撮ったデータ全部だと思います）
ということは、私たちの映像・写真もＳＵＰの方たちのところに渡されているということΣ(ﾟдﾟlll)ｶﾞｰﾝ、正直それは嫌でした。

また、サーフィンとＳＵＰは行っている場所が少し違うので、どうしても映像・写真が少なかったと思います。
こちらにもＳＵＰのデータがきているので、そちらの映像・写真が多いのが気になりました。（もちろん人数の比もあると思います）

サーフィン自体はとても楽しく、翌日どころかその日から筋肉痛でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
せっかくハワイに来たときは、ハワイらしいアクティビティいいと思います！！

The Magical Mystery Show at the Hilton Waikiki Beach is seriously one of the best things to do in the evening in Waikiki! My friends and I had an absolute blast from start to finish. When we arrived, we were greeted with a delicious cocktail and escorted into the Museum of Curiosities. There, a talented magician entertained us with captivating stories about how King David Kalakaua brought the concept of "salon performance" to Hawaii from England. Once we discovered the secret password, we entered the main theater. Let me tell you, the room is cozy and beautifully decorated with vintage furniture and comfy chairs.
But here's the best part - the interaction with the performers was absolutely outstanding! It honestly felt like we were getting our own personal magic show. The close-up magic was incredibly engaging, and it was a hit with both the adults and the kids. We laughed so much and were completely impressed beyond words by the mind-blowing tricks! Every single part of the magic show was thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. And let me just say, it was totally worth every penny! I can't recommend it enough!
Seriously, what a unique activity. It's perfect for a rainy day or any day, really. You're guaranteed plenty of laughs. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Even I, who am not good at sports, had a great time riding. The wind felt wonderful, it was the best! It was so much fun, and we had a blast as a family. There’s a Giovanni's in the food court near the Segway shop where we enjoyed garlic shrimp. The area is filled with murals, and we had an efficient and enjoyable half day. Next time, I want to join the morning session.

運動苦手な私も楽しく乗れました。
風が気持ちよく最高！
とにかく楽しくて親子で盛り上がりました。
セグウェイ店の近くのマート内フードコートにジョバンニがありガーリックシュリンプを堪能。周辺は壁画も多く、半日で効率良く楽しめました。次は朝の回に参加してみたいです。

I used the service from the airport to the hotel.
There was a staff member at the airport arrival gate who helped me find the bus stop, checked me in, and provided the transfer.
The staff member's uniform was easy to recognize, which was great.
I was pleased that the transfer went smoothly without any issues.

空港からホテルまで利用しました。
空港到着口にスタッフの方がいてバス乗り場を教えていただき受付して送迎してもらいました。
スタッフの方のユニフォームがわかりやすくて良かったです。
問題なくスムーズに送迎していただいて良かったです。

There was someone at the counter who spoke Japanese, so I was able to board without any worries. There are benches at the bus waiting area as well. The bus was large enough for the number of people, which made it comfortable even with mixed passengers.

カウンターに日本語が話せる人もいらしたので不安なく乗車できました。バス待ちの場所にはベンチもあります。また人数に対して大きなバスで混載でも余裕があり良かったです。

Parasailing itself was very enjoyable! The view of Hawaii from 150 meters was amazing! However, since there were about 12 people on the shared boat and 6 groups took turns flying, we had to wait on a rather rocky boat due to the strong winds that day. As a result, there were some people who got seasick during the wait. So, motion sickness medication is a must!

パラセーリング自体はとても楽しかったです！
150mから見るハワイの景色は素晴らしかったです！
ただ、12人程度の乗合船で6組が順番に飛ぶため、風が強い日だったこともあり結構揺れる船で待機することになります。 なので途中で船酔いしてしまっていた方がいました。なので酔い止めは必須です！

Awesome crew! This was an amazing and fun experience for my family.

There weren't many shuttle services that corresponded with domestic flight arrival times, but I applied here because I was informed they could accommodate me.

My flight arrived late, but there was a Japanese staff member waiting at the baggage claim, and I appreciate the smooth guidance I received. (I apologize if I kept others waiting.)

Since it's a shared ride, we will stop at a few places before heading to Waikiki, but I think there won't be any issues as long as you keep that in mind.

国内線の到着時刻に対応している送迎がなかなかなかったのですが、こちらは対応いただけるということで申込させていただきました。

飛行機到着が遅れてしまいましたが、バゲージクレーンでも日本人スタッフの方が待っていてくださり、スムーズに誘導していただき、感謝しております。(他の方をお待たせしていたらすみません)

乗り合いなので、何ヶ所か寄った上でワイキキに向かいますが、その点だけ注意していただければ問題ないと思います。

I went parasailing for the first time.
The view of Hawaii was absolutely amazing!!

If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must!

初めてパラセーリングをしました。
ハワイの景色を一望できてとても最高でした！！

乗り物酔いするかたは酔い止め薬必須です！

I used the bus from the hotel to the airport on the day I returned to Japan. The bus arrived right on time for the pickup, and although the driver didn't speak Japanese, it wasn't a problem at all. Most of the other passengers were Americans, so I didn't hear any Japanese, which was great! I recommend this for those who want to experience the atmosphere of being abroad without hearing Japanese.

日本帰国日にホテルから空港まで利用しました。
ピックアップの時間にぴったりにバスが来てくれて、ドライバーの方は日本語を話せないですが、困ることはないので問題なしです。
他の乗客もアメリカ人がほとんどなので日本語が聞こえてこなくてGOOD！
日本語が聞こえない海外の雰囲気を味わいたい方にはおすすめです。

My first parasailing experience. I was nervous, but once I was up, the view was breathtaking. It was over in no time. If you get seasick, you should be careful.

初めてのパラセイリング。ドキドキだったけど、上がってしまえばもう絶景。あっという間でした。船酔いする人は気をつけた方がいいです。

Awesome crew. Everyone had a great time snorkeling and sailing.

The captain and crew were great and had a good vibe! The foreign passengers I sailed with were also fun, making it a very enjoyable experience! The view from above, looking at Waikiki, was absolutely amazing!

キャプテン、クルーの方、ノリが良くて良かった！
また一緒に乗船した外国人の方もノリが良くて非常に楽しかった！
景色も上空からワイキキを眺められて最高に気持ちよかった！

I was looking for a hula dance show and found this one! The buffet and drinks were delicious, and the content of the show was very enjoyable, so I was very satisfied. However, there were two disappointing points.

The first was that there was quite a bit of time between the meeting time and when the buffet started. We had a tight schedule before, so we rushed over, but I thought it would have been fine to take our time if we had known about this gap.

The second point was that the show tickets indicated that VIP seats were on the first floor and normal seats were on the second floor, but in reality, the VIP seats were up to the 3rd and 4th rows, and everything beyond that was normal. Given the significant price difference, I wondered if the quality of the seats was really that different.

Overall, I was satisfied, but I felt that I might not have needed a VIP ticket after all.

フラダンスショーを探していて、このショーを見つけました！
ブッフェとドリンクも美味しく、ショーの内容もとても楽しくて大満足でした。
ただ、残念だった点が2点あります。
一つ目は集合時間からブッフェが始まるまでに時間がかなりあったこと。私たちは前の予定がギリギリまであったので、急いで向かいましたが、この時間があるなら急がなくて良かったなと思いました。
二つ目は、ショーのチケットはVIPが1階席、ノーマルが2階席と書いてありましたが、実際は3.4列目までがVIP、それ以降がノーマルで、こんなに価格差があるのに、それほど席のよさは変わらないかも？と思いました。
全体としては満足ですが、VIPチケットでなくてもよかったなと思うところもありました。

Loved the view from above! Gorgeous day on the water

The voucher at the time of booking stated, "Upon arriving at Honolulu Airport, there is a reception desk in the area for group travelers," but I couldn't find the desk after looking around. I contacted the local phone number listed on the voucher, but there was no one who could speak Japanese at all. After asking a nearby guide from another company who spoke Japanese, I finally confirmed the location of the desk, but it was quite far from the place mentioned on the voucher, leaving me to wonder if anyone could find it easily.

申込時のバウチャーには「ホノルル空港に到着して、団体旅行者用のスペースに受付のデスクがある」と記載されていましたが、見回してもデスクがない。バウチャーに記載のあった現地の電話番号に連絡したものの、日本語が全く通じない。近くにいた日本語の通じる他社のガイドさんに聞いてやっとデスクの場所を確認したものの、バウチャーに記載されていた場所とずいぶん離れていて、ストレートにたどり着ける人はいるんだろうかと疑問に思った。

Reading the reviews, it was definitely the right choice to take motion sickness medication. The boat rocked more than I expected and it was a bit scary, but I didn't get seasick.

Even for someone like me who isn't good with thrill rides, I was able to enjoy parasailing!

Also, I thought I would get wet, so I only brought the bare minimum (smartphone, tip, hotel key card, towel), but I wish I had brought my credit card to pay for the optional photo shoot.

口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んで行って正解でした。船は思ったより揺れて怖かったですが、酔うことはありませんでした。
絶叫系が苦手な私でも、パラセイリングを楽しむことができました！

また、濡れると思い最低限の荷物(スマホ、チップ、ホテルのカードキー、タオル)しか持っていきませんでしたが、オプションの写真撮影代を支払うためにクレカを持っていけばよかったと思いました。

I used this service for transportation from the hotel to the airport. The price is less than half of a taxi fare. Initially, the meeting point was set at the hotel parking lot, but on the day of travel, the location was changed due to a parade and road closures. However, I received prior notice via email, so there were no issues. On the day, the staff at the waiting area confirmed the gathering, allowing me to wait comfortably even in the heat. I plan to use this service again next time.

ホテル近郊から空港への移動に利用しました．価格はタクシーの半額以下です．予約時はホテル内駐車場待ち合わせだったのですが，当日はパレードで道路封鎖のため，集合場所が変更になりました．とはいえ，メール等で事前連絡があったので問題なく対応できました．当日も待合場所のスタッフが集合確認をしてくれているので，暑い中でも安心して待機できました．次回もまた利用しようと思います．

It started 30 minutes late due to the rain. But before we knew it, the boat arrived, and we quickly set off into the open sea! For those who get seasick, it's advisable to take some medication because the ride had a lot of floating sensations, haha.

About five groups boarded, and one by one, we were connected for parasailing and soared into the sky. Each group enjoyed about five minutes before being dropped into the sea and collected back onto the boat, haha. Both the time on the boat and during parasailing were so much fun, and it was an amazing experience!

雨が降ってて予定より30分遅れで始まりました。でもあっとゆうまに船の迎えが来てあっとゆうまに沖の方まで出発！
船酔いする人は薬飲んどいたほうがいいくらい浮遊感たっぷりの乗り心地でした笑笑
それから5組くらい乗り込み順番にパラセーリングに繋がれて空へと舞い上がっていき1組5分くらい楽しんだら海へジャボーンと落とされて船へと回収されます笑
船に乗ってる時もパラセーリング中もどっちも楽しくて最高に良い思いです！

We were quite anxious because we couldn't speak any English, but it was a bit reassuring to see other Japanese people there.
There were a total of five groups boarding, and even though we couldn't communicate well, the crew's vibe made it enjoyable for everyone. We took motion sickness medication, but it was quite bumpy, so if you're sensitive, please make sure you're in good condition!
The view from 150 meters was truly spectacular! The landing when coming down was also fun! I want to go again!

私たちはまったく英語ができないので不安でしたが、他にも日本人がいてちょっと安心
計5組で乗り込み、言葉は通じないながらもクルーのノリもあり皆で楽しめました酔い止めを飲んでいきましたが、かなり揺れるので弱い方は万全の体調で望んでください！
150mからの眺めは本当に絶景です！降りるときの着水も楽しかった～！また行きたいです！
