Waikiki
This time it was on time. I will call a few hotels, so the pickup is three hours before. It feels just right.
今回は時間通りでした。いくつかホテルを呼びますので3時間前にホテルにピックアップです。
丁度良い感じです。
I often use this service because they usually arrive on time. However, this time, even though I was told to wait for the flight number, they were not at the promised location. I had to search around and finally found someone from the company, and I was able to meet with the person in charge. Their excuse was that today's flight might have arrived early.
They should normally be checking arrivals in real-time.
It seems that there may be more staff who are not doing their jobs properly.
Caution is needed.
良く利用するのは割と時間通りに来てくれるからです。
しかし今回は、時間じゃなくて 便名でお待ちしていますとのことなのに、
約束のとこにはいません。
こちらが探し回ってやっと会社の人を見つけて、担当にあうことができました。
言い訳は、今日の便は早く着いたのかな?だって。
通常はリアルタイムで到着を確認しているはずです。
ちゃんとしないスタッフも多くなったのかもしれません。
注意が必要です。
Great time with a great crew! Yummy cocktails, too!
I decided to make a bold reservation for our honeymoon memories! At first, I thought about going for 150m, but I got scared and opted for 120m instead. The view was absolutely amazing, and I was so moved that my fear disappeared, and I couldn't stop laughing!
There were four groups during our time slot, all of whom were Japanese, which made me feel relieved. Everyone was very nice, and we exchanged a lot of information, making it a very enjoyable time!
The boat attendant was also a lot of fun and took many photos for us. The data cost $30, but I decided to purchase it. When I looked at the photos later, they turned out great (laughs). It became the best memory of our honeymoon! Thank you very much!
ハネムーンの思い出になればと、思い切って予約してみました!最初は150mと思ったのですが怖気づいて120mに。もう最高の眺めに感動して怖さも何処かいって、笑いが止まらなかったです!
私達の時間帯は4組で、全て日本人でホッとしました(^^)そして、皆様とても良い方々で色々情報頂いたり♡とても楽しい時間になりました‼
ボートの添乗員さんもとても楽しい方で沢山写真を撮って頂き…データは30$でしたが、思い切って購入。帰って見たらいい感じでした(笑)。ハネムーンで一番最高の思い出になりました!ありがとうございました‼
It was my first catamaran tour, and there were over 40 people on the tour, but there were no other Japanese participants. Since all the instructions were in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a great time. The Mai Tai was very delicious, and since it was all-you-can-drink, I also had some wine. The next day it rained, so I was glad it was a sunny day!
初めてのカタマランツアー、40名を越えるツアーでしたが日本人もいなく、注意事項は全て英語の為わからないこと多かったですが特に困ることはなく、楽しくすごせました。マイタイもとてもおいしく飲み放題のためワインも頂きました。翌日は雨のため晴れた日で良かったです‼️
Very impresssed with the cat, cruise and the staff.
I was worried about what to bring, but there was a place to put my belongings under the boat seat, so I didn't have to worry. Since there were mostly Japanese people, we took pictures of each other and it was a pleasant atmosphere. The explanations were in English, but simple Japanese and easy-to-understand English were sufficient. The height that allowed us to overlook Waikiki was enjoyable!
持ち物がどうしたらよいか心配でしたがボートのシートの下に入れるところがあり心配いりませんでした。また日本人の方ばかりだったのでお互いに撮りあったり和やかでした。
説明は英語とありましたが簡単な日本語とわかりやすい英語で大丈夫でした。
ワイキキを一望できる高さは楽しかった~
The pickup was 10 minutes late, but it was within the expected range. There were only four groups, including myself, on a large bus, so it was smooth. However, I was dropped off quite a distance from the check-in counter, so I had to walk quite a bit while pulling two suitcases, which was a bit disappointing.
ピックアップは10分遅れでしたが想定の範囲内。大きなバスに私を含め4組だけでスムーズでした。ただチェックインカウンターから割と離れたところで降ろされたので、スーツケース2つを引っ張ってけっこう歩いたのが残念と言えば残念。
I had some fear of heights, but once I actually tried it, I felt no fear at all and was captivated by the view from above. It really wasn't as scary as I expected. The captain was a nice guy too!
高さに恐怖心が多少ありましたが、いざやってみると恐怖心は全くなく、上から見れる景色に心奪われました。本当に思いの外怖くありません。
キャプテンもナイスガイでした!
Due to the typhoon, my arrival time at the airport was delayed by about 5 hours, but they came to pick me up right on time. The transfer went smoothly, and I was able to reach my destination safely without any issues.
台風の影響で空港への到着時刻が5時間ほど遅れたが到着時間に合わせてしっかり迎えに来てくれました。移動も特に問題なく安心して目的地に着くことができました。
The meal was average at the buffet, but the Hawaiian dancer staff livened things up with singing and dancing. The Rock-a-Hula show featured a performer who looked just like Presley, and the singing and dancing were great. As a fan service, they came up to the second floor and shook hands with each person.
食事はビュッヘで月並みだったが、ハワイアンダンサーのスタッフが歌ったり、踊ったりして盛り上げてくれた。ロック・ア・フラショーはプレスリーがそっくりで歌とダンスが良かった。ファン・サービスで2階席まで上がって来て、一人づつ握手してくれた。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
I participated with my 22-year-old son. The time spent on the boat was more enjoyable than I had expected, and parasailing was a very fun experience with no swaying. We also took a lot of photos, and it was great that they were put on an SD card for us.
22歳の息子と参加しました
思っていた以上にボートに乗っている時間も楽しく
パラセーリングは揺れもなくとても楽しい体験でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて SDカードに入れていただけたので良かったです
What an awesome way to see the Friday Fireworks. The crew on board were great fun.
We thought the drinks package was great value & would highly recommend it.
Since it was a catamaran, I didn't have to worry about seasickness and enjoyed plenty of free drinks like Mai Tais and champagne. I wish I had brought some snacks... The scenery is wonderful. It's romantic. As we got closer to Diamond Head, there was a lot of noise with dancing and singing to the music. It was about an hour, but it was fun. We took commemorative photos before boarding and bought them on the way back.
カタマランなので、船酔いの心配もなくフリードリンクのマイタイやシャンパンを沢山頂きました。おつまみ持参すれば良かったかな・・・
景色が素晴らしいです。
ロマンチックです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づくと音楽に合わせてダンスしたり歌ったりと大騒ぎでした。
約1時間でしたが楽しかったです
記念写真を乗船前にとってもらい、帰りに買いました。
We were guided for priority entry by a suited manager in front of the waiting crowd when it was time to enter. We took cocktails and commemorative photos in the green room, and also borrowed costumes to take more commemorative photos backstage. The backstage tour was fun. Our table was in front of the stage, and the food was delicious. We ordered a celebratory cake, but we couldn't finish it, so we had it packed in a cake box to take home. After the show, we took many more commemorative photos. The show included both a variety show and performances featuring Michael and Elvis, which were enjoyable.
時間になると入場待ちの人達の前をスーツ姿のマネージャーに案内されて優先入場。
グリーンルームでカクテルと記念写真を撮り、舞台裏でも衣装を借りて記念写真を撮りました。
バックステージツアー楽しいです。
テーブルはステージ前で、食事も美味しかった。
記念のお祝いケーキを別注しましたが食べきれず、ケーキBOXに入れてもらい持ち帰りしました。
ショーの終了後も沢山記念写真をとりました。
ショーもフラショーもあり、マイケルやエルビスもありで楽しかったです。
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 come to 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。
I decided to go on a trip to Hawaii with my colleagues, and I wanted to try something adventurous, so I chose parasailing. We opted for the middle course, which is 120 meters.
We gathered at 7:45 AM and boarded the boat at 8:00 AM. Since we had rented a car the day before, we arrived 30 minutes early to find parking.
At the reception, it was easy; we just handed over the printed voucher we had reserved in advance.
Since we had some time to spare, we enjoyed watching surfers riding the waves and leisurely exploring the beach.
We moved out to sea on the boat and began parasailing. I think there were about seven groups in total. It took about an hour for everyone to have their turn.
We were the last group to board the boat, but since the order was from the left side, we went up first. It was my first experience, and I screamed out of fear at first! However, once we were up in the air, the stunning views lifted my spirits, and my fear disappeared. (But we did joke about how to survive if we fell from that height, haha.) It was higher than I expected.
You can hold onto your camera or smartphone while parasailing. There are no specific restrictions. However, if you drop something, it won't come back, and when your feet touch the water, you might get splashed, so it's at your own risk.
The staff were very unique and kept us entertained throughout the hour. (I’m sorry I forgot their names.)
Next time I go, I was thinking of trying diving, but I might want to do parasailing again.
Seeing Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the small islands in the distance from the sea was breathtaking when we drove back to the North Shore the next day.
I highly recommend this activity!
会社の同僚とハワイ旅行に行くことになり、何か体験をしたいと思いパラセイリングを選びました。
コースは3つあるうちの真ん中120mコースです。
朝7:45集合で8時にボートに乗船。
私たちは前日にレンタカーを借りていたので、駐車場を探す分30分早めに集合しました。
受付では、事前に予約して印刷したバウチャーを渡すだけでOK。
時間まで余裕があったので、波乗りに来ているサーファーさんを眺めたりビーチを散策したりとゆっくり過ごすことができました。
ボートで海上まで移動し、パラセイリング開始。
全部で7組ほどいたと思います。
全組か体験するのに1時間ほどかかりました。
私たちは最後にボートに乗ったのですが、体験の順番は左側からなので1番最初に空の上へ。
はじめての体験で最初はこわーーーー!と叫んでしまいましたが、上空に行ってしまえば素晴らしい景色に気分が高揚し、恐怖心はなくなりました。
(でもここから落ちたらどうやって生き残るかという話はしました笑)
思ってたよりも高かったです。
カメラやスマホは持ったままでも大丈夫です。
特に注意されることはありません。
ただし、落としてしまったら二度と戻っては来ませんし、足が水につかったときに水しぶきがかかる可能性があるので自己責になります。
スタッフの方はとてもユニークで、1時間の間とても楽しませていただけました。
(お名前を忘れてしまってすみません。)
今度行くときはダイビングをしたいと思っていましたが、もう一度パラセイリングをやってもいいなぁ、と思っています。
海上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチ、遠くに見える小さな島みたいなものを翌日ドライブでノースショアに向かう途中逆から見られたときは感動しました。
おすすめのアクティビティです。
the driver was on time, entertaining. it was just a bit of a turnoff the way he pushed for gratuities
Honestly, I didn't expect it to be that much fun. I would like to sign up for the sunset cruising next year.
正直、あんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした、来年はサンセットクルージングにお申し込みしたいと思います。
Challenging myself to 120 meters. The few minutes with the stunning blue ocean spread out below me became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. You don't need to speak English! Motion sickness medication and sunscreen are a must. I don't think I was asked about "japoon," which everyone talks about, but the fun was doubled with the exquisite technique of "japoon"! If anyone is hesitating, I encourage you to challenge yourself before you think too much.
120メートルに挑戦。眼下に広がる真っ青な海と何も邪魔するもののない数分間はハワイ旅行の最高の思い出となりました。英語できなくても大丈夫です!酔い止め&日焼け止めは必須。皆が言ってるじゃぽーんは聞かれなかった気がしますが、絶妙なテクニックでじゃぽーんしてもらって楽しさ倍増でした!悩んでいる人がいたら悩む前にチャレンジしていただきたいです。
We used the service as a couple last December. The weather was a bit cloudy, which was a little disappointing, but the catamaran yacht racing across the sea felt great. I think it would have been even more enjoyable if we had a bit more time to relax out in the open sea.
昨年の12月に夫婦で利用しました。
天気が曇り気味だったので 少し残念でしたが、海を疾走するカタマランヨットは 気持ち良かったです。
沖で もう少し のんびりできる時間があったら もっと楽しかったと思います。
Great cruise!!! So picturesque and so much fun!!! Recommend ++++ met some great people!
The local staff really boosted the atmosphere, and I felt a sense of unity with the other guests who were also trying this for the first time. It was so much fun! Once we were up in the sky, all the fear disappeared, and it felt absolutely amazing!
現地のスタッフさんが雰囲気をめちゃ盛り上げてくれて一緒に同乗した他のお客さんたちとも初挑戦するという一体感ができてとても楽しかったです!
空に上がってしまえば怖さも吹っ飛びサイコーに気持ちよかったです‼️
It was awesome! The Captain was hilarious! Drinks were delicious! The view of Waikiki from the boat was great, and the sunset was beautiful. Met some lovely people. Highly recommend!!
The scenery was absolutely amazing! It ended in the blink of an eye, so I was a bit disappointed that I wanted to enjoy it a little longer!
景色が最高に良かったです!
あっと言う間に終わったので、もう少し楽しみたかったのが少し残念でした!
It was fun night! Loved the sail and atmosphere. The crew was terrific. I think I would enjoy the music be a little louder and the boat could go a little faster and further out. Other than that, it was a great sail!
At first, everything was new and I was anxious, but everyone was very nice and I enjoyed it until the end! The 120m was very high, but I was able to see the scenery and it felt great! Next, I definitely want to challenge myself to the 150m! They also took a lot of photos, and I was very satisfied!
最初は何もかもが初めてで不安でしたが、みんなとても良い方で最後まで楽しめました‼︎120mはとても高かったですが景色も見れて気持ち良かったです‼︎次は150mもぜひ挑戦してみたいです‼︎写真もたくさん撮ってくださり大満足でした‼︎
this boat ride was absolutely amazing. I would do it again. I loved that you can book it all online and show up the day of, super easy. I called them to get clarification and they were more than helpful. The ride was more than expected. Both of the guys working were energetic and funny. They made the ride very fun, while still giving everyone their own time to hang out and take photos. The open bar was obviously a great perk also. I really enjoyed the sunset cruise and would love to try one of the other ones they do.
I thought it was a bit too simple for the price. I also think the photos could be a bit cheaper. It was backlit, after all.
However, I think it was nice that it was a place where you could enjoy yourself in a short amount of time.
料金の割には、シンプル過ぎるかなと思いました。写真ももう少し安くてもいーかなと。逆光でしたし。
でも、短時間で楽しめる所は良かったと思います。
I did 120m.
At the beginning, they asked, "Is it okay to do a Japon?" (laughs)
It's the one where you fall into the water when you come back.
I was trying to take pictures of the scenery at the start, so I unexpectedly did a Japon too! (laughs)
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the view was great and it was amazing! ☆
The driver understood a little Japanese, but everyone was friendly and it was fun!
I took about 70 photos for $30. They ask you at the beginning, so it's definitely better to buy them!
I gave a $10 tip each to the two guys on the boat and the driver.
120mやりました。
初めにジャポーンok?と聞かれます!笑
戻ってくる時に水に落ちるヤツですね。
飛び始めに景色を撮ろうと携帯を触ってたせいか、不意のジャポンもされました!!笑
初めてなので不安だったけど、景色も良く見えて最高でした☆
車のドライバーさんが日本語少し分かるくらいでしたがみんな気さくで楽しかったです!
写真は70枚程で30$。初めに聞かれるので絶対に買ったほうが良いです!
チップは、ボートでの彼ら2名、車のドライバーさんに10$づつ渡しました。
Although the airplane arrived slightly early, I waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes at the shuttle station. The staff member was coordinating and communicating, but the delay was significant, and I couldn't go to Diamond Head!
飛行機が若干早く到着したのにシャトル乗り場で1時間20分位待ちました。担当の係の人は
連絡・調整してくれていましたが、遅れが大きくダイヤモンドヘッドに行くことが
出来ませんでした!
