Waikiki
Very friendly and professional staff from the van driver to the guys on the boat! Best fun and best bang for the buck!
This trolley not only allows you to get around the city but also takes you to Diamond Head and Kahala Mall, and I use it every year without fail. You can use it for four days on any day during your stay, and the ability to extend the days you don't use it adds to the value. Many of the drivers are entertaining, so you won't get bored.
このトロリーは、市内の移動だけでなくダイヤモンドヘッド観光やカハラモールまでいく事が出来、毎年必ず使っています。
滞在中のどの日でも4日間分使用でき、中日に使用しない日は延長でき使う日に使用できるのもお得感があります。
運転手も面白い方が多く飽きさせません。
We traveled as a couple with our children aged 2, 5, and 8. Since the kids are small, snorkeling wasn't suitable, and we didn't want the mood of a dinner cruise, but we still wanted to be on a boat. That's why we signed up for this tour. First, we took off our shoes and boarded barefoot. As the reviews said, it was an impressive tour that was also safe for families with children. We were able to see several sea turtles swimming. The front edge of the boat got quite wet, but the middle stayed mostly dry. It was also reasonable and a great deal. The kids were very happy.
夫婦で2歳、5歳、8歳の子供を連れての旅でした。子供が小さいのでシュノーケリングは不向きだし、ディナークルーズの様なムードもいらない、でも船は乗りたい。そこでこのツアーに申し込みました。まず靴を脱いで裸足で乗船します。クチコミ通り、迫力もありながら子連れでも安心なツアーでした。泳いでいるウミガメも数匹見れました。前方の端がずぶ濡れになる場所でしたね。真ん中はほとんど濡れません。リーズナブルでもあり、お得でした。子供も喜んでおりました。
We participated as a couple. Since our schedule was packed (laughs), we were looking for an activity that we could join for a short time and found one that involved riding a boat♪ I had read some experiences, so I expected to get somewhat wet, but I never imagined I would end up completely soaked from head to toe! (>▽<)/ It was even more fun than I had imagined♪ I didn't know I would get this wet, so I participated in a T-shirt and shorts, but next time I plan to join in a swimsuit and clothes that can get wet, and after getting off the catamaran, I want to play on the beach^^ The drinks were reasonably priced, even on the boat. Many experiences mentioned that there were no other Japanese participants, but during our time, there was a Japanese father who had been on this catamaran multiple times and his elementary school-aged daughter, and we were able to chat a bit^^ Foreigners also approached us and kindly took our pictures. (When we went further out, the waves were high, so it wasn't really a good time for photos...) All the explanations were in English, but I think it would be manageable even if you don't understand English♪ I definitely want to participate again!
夫婦で参加しました。
予定がぎっしりなので(笑)、短時間で参加できる、船に乗れるアクティビティを探していて見つけました♪
体験談を読んでいたので、ある程度濡れるだろうとは思っていましたが、まさかあんなに頭から全身ずぶぬれになるとは!(>▽<)/
想像以上にとても楽しかったです♪
今回はこんなに濡れるとも知らずTシャツとジーンズの短パンで参加してしまいましたが、次回は水着+濡れても良い格好で参加して、カタマランから降りた後はそのままビーチで遊びたいと思います^^
ドリンクも、船の上なのに良心的な価格でした。
日本人の参加者は他にいなかった、との体験談が多いですが、私達の時はこのカタマランに何度も乗ったことがある日本人のお父さんと小学生くらいの娘さんもいらっしゃって、少しお話もできました^^
外国人の方も、あちらから声をかけていただいて気さくにシャッターを押してくださいました。
(沖の方へ行くと波が高く、写真を撮っている場合ではないですが。。)
説明などは全部英語ですが、英語がわからなくてもなんとかなると思います♪
また絶対に参加したいです!
I read in another review that someone got sick at the summit, and I completely understand how they felt. Even with motion sickness medication, it was quite tough. The foreigner I was with seemed fine.
If you can, having a pick-up service would be easier. It was quite a walk from Ala Moana Center, and there are many similar shops, so we ended up being a bit late.
By the way, both my friend and I are slim, so it was a bit dangerous, and we rode with the foreigner, making it three of us. Joining with a group of friends could be fun.
他のかたのレビューで頂上で吐いたと読みましたが、気持ちがよくわかりました。酔い止め飲んでもかなり辛かったー。一緒になった外国人さんは平気そうでした。
写真は日本人の方が一緒になれば取り合いっこでもいいような出来かもしれません。レンズ覗いて撮ってないから笑。
できれば送迎付きの方が楽です。アラモアナセンターから歩いたら結構とおくて、しかもいくつも似たようなお店があるから、少し遅れちゃいました。
ちなみに、私も彼も細いので、危ないからと、外国人さんと3人乗りしました。3人組のお友達なんかの参加は楽しいかも。
We participated in an activity that could be enjoyed by three generations, including my parents and children, totaling eight people. We joined the first Japanese-guided tour of the day. Although our guide was not Japanese, they entertained us with fluent language skills. We were lucky enough to see sea turtles swimming, which was wonderful. My 65-year-old grandfather was also very excited to see the turtles. Since we had to move by boat before and after boarding the submarine, it's essential to bring motion sickness medication. Don't worry, there are etiquette bags available in case you feel unwell on the submarine.
3世代で楽しめるアクティビティはないかと、両親、子供を含め8人で参加しました。
朝一番の日本語ガイドのツアーに参加。
ガイドさんは日本人ではないのですが、流暢な言葉使いで楽しませてくれます。私たちはラッキーなことに海ガメが泳いでいるところをみることが出来て良かったです。
65歳のおじいちゃんもカメの泳ぐ姿を見て大興奮でした。
潜水艦に乗り込む前後は船で移動となるので、酔い止めの薬は必携。万一潜水艦で気分が悪くなってもエチケット袋はあるのでご安心を。
Positives of this tour are it's location right outside the Outrigger Reef, the water was warm and saw quite a few turtles dolphins and fish, and overall good value for money.
The staff were just ok, nothing special. No commentary on anything except a few minutes on the rules and how to snorkel. The big negative for us was how uncomfortable the ride was on the catamaran for almost the entire time on the boat. We wanted to sit on the bench seats provided, but was told we would have to all sit on or around the netting area to help balance the boat. For my wife and I this became extremely uncomfortable after a short while, with no cushions or anything like that provided to make it somewhat comfortable. It ruined the cruise for us. Next time we will book a tour on a bigger boat that provides seating for it's guests.
I participated at my son's request. I was worried about seasickness, but it was not a problem at all. There weren't many fish to see, but the kids were surprised to see the sunken airplane. It can be a bit cold inside the ship, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket. Also, when getting on and off the submarine, you need to use a ladder for a few meters. It might be better to avoid wearing a mini skirt or a maxi skirt.
息子の希望で参加しました。船酔いが心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。見られる魚はそれ程多くはありませんでしたが、子供たちは沈んだ飛行機などを見てビックリしてました。艦内は少し寒いので上着を持って行った方がいいかも。あと、せんすいかに乗り込む時と出る時に数メートルはしごを使います。ミニスカートもしくはマキシ丈スカートはやめた方がいいかな。
We had a beautiful afternoon for our parasailing adventure. The bus picked up right on time at the location specified. There were three of us in our party plus another mom and her son. Two crew members for a total of 7 on board the boat. The crew of 2 were very friendly and made us all feel at ease. Waters were pretty smooth considering our adventure started at 3pm.
The guys did have trouble deploying the parasail as the cords kept on tangling as they delpoyed it. Sort of made us feel a little uneasy, but you could tell the crew had experianced this issue before as it was quite windy and they did not get flustered at all. We all joked a little about the situation which made the time go by pretty quick. After the 3rd attempt, we were good to go. The views were wonderful and my wife and daughter and I all enjoyed our rides, one tandem and one single. After reading other reviews on this site about having pictures taken by the crew and then the card sold to the customers (which we were co
On July 30, I participated in the "Stand-Up Paddle Beginner Plan." On the day of the event, I arrived at the meeting point by the poolside of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel at 9:30. After checking in, I waited until the lesson started at 10:00. The staff provided some instructions, and the lesson began. It was my first experience with stand-up paddle surfing, and we started with a simulation on land before finally heading into the ocean. I was nervous at first, but gradually got used to it and was able to stand up and paddle. It was an hour-long lesson that flew by.
7/30「スタンドアップパドル初心者プラン」に参加しました。当日は9:30に集合場所のロイヤルハワイアンホテルのプールサイドに行きました。受付後、10:00時のレッスン開始までスタンバイ。スタッフの方から注意を受けレッスンが始りました。初めて経験する「スタンドアップパドルサーフィン」ですが陸上でシュミレーションを行いいよいよ海に入ります。最初は緊張していましたが、徐々に慣れてスタンドアップ&パドリングすることができました。あっという間の1時間レッスンでした。
There is a novelty in being able to ride a submarine. However, it feels more like peering into an aquarium tank. I was happy to see two sea turtles, but at Okinawa's Churaumi Aquarium, you can see sea turtles up close.
In conclusion, if you want to see marine life, you should go to an aquarium. Only those who want to experience riding a submarine should participate in this tour. Otherwise, I think marine life enthusiasts will be disappointed.
潜水艦に乗れるという物珍しさはあります。しかし、感覚としては水族館の水槽を覗いているといった感じです。海亀を2匹も見れたのは嬉しかったですが、沖縄の美ら海水族館の方がもっと間近に海亀を見れます。
結論としては、海の生き物を見たければ水族館に行きましょう。一度潜水艦に乗ってみたい人だけがこのツアーに参加しましょう。でないと、海の生き物好きはガッカリすると思います。
This was definately one of the best activities on our vacation. Our kids had a blast. My wife and I went along just to watch and had a lot of fun also. We were so glad that we had them take pictures for us as they turned out great. From our shuttle driver, to the office personnel, to the boat crew, everybody was wonderful. Highly recommend it!
The sub was great, the staff were great. Bookings.com suck. They reserved us on a Japanese only tour. We could have changed but it would have been the next day. Took the verbal portion away. we had headphones that would explain it in english but not so good with the main staff speaking to the group in Japanese. I have a 5 and 8 year old so it made it more difficult for them. Make sure you confirm what the booked you for !!
I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time surfing. The lesson was conducted in Japanese, and they provided advice on timing to catch the waves, so even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves and had a lot of fun. The lesson lasted for one hour, which was just the right amount of time physically.
ハワイに何度も行っているが、はじめてのサーフィン。
レッスン内容は日本語で指導してくれて、波に乗るタイミングをアドバイスしてくれるので、はじめてだも波に乗ることができてとても楽しかったです。
レッスン時間が1時間でしたが、体力的にはちょうどいい時間でした。
The staff is very kind and fun.
very unique & exciting activity
The experience was amazing. The only complaint I have was that we were staying at the Mariot Waikiki and the van driver went to the Waikiki resort to pick us up. We could not find the driver or him us. When I talked with staff trying to locate himshe was rude and said if we did not find the driver in 2 mins he would leave us and there would be no refund.
We ended up finding him in about 10 mins. with the help of valet parkers from out hotel. He did not leave us Thank goodness. The van driver knew we were lost and waited. He was very nice. The staff on the boat were amazing. My 73 year old mother even parasailed and they acommadated her needs. : ) We were there on a make a wish trip, they allowed my 12 year old son who fought cancer last year to go up twice and to drive the boat. They were just amazing!
This was my second time surfing in Hawaii. I was drawn in by the cute name and made a reservation. I signed up for a group lesson, but there was only one student, so it turned into a completely private session! Yay~~ (*^^)v
The instructor was a boy who spoke a little Japanese, but it was so much fun. Even though I was a poor student, thanks to the instructor, I was able to ride the waves!!!
A photographer rode on a board and took pictures, so they were very dynamic and full of life.
My friends had separate plans for the day, but next time they said they would join this school too.
ハワイでのサーフィンは2回目。
かわいいネーミングに魅かれ、予約しました。
グループ・レッスンに申し込んだのですが、生徒はたった1人だったので、完全プライベート☆やったぁ~~(*^^)v
先生はボーイズで、日本語が少しでしたが、
とっても楽しかったです。
出来の悪い生徒だったのに、先生のおかげで波にも乗れました!!!
写真もカメラマンの方がボードに乗って撮ってくれたので、
とても臨場感あふれる写真でした。
友達とバラバラな1日だったのですが、次回は友達もこちらの
スクールに参加するって言ってました。
All the explanations beforehand are in English, but since each person is allowed to practice on the board on land, I think it will be understandable. The board is large and buoyant, and the staff will push you on the waves, so you will definitely be able to ride it. It would have been even better if there were several types of boards to choose from.
事前の説明はすべて英語ですが、陸で一人一人ボードに乗せて練習させてくれるので、理解出来ると思います。
ボードは大きなボードで浮力があり、波にはスタッフが押してくれるので、必ず乗れます。
板が数種類から選べれば尚良かったと思います。
I had the most happy time. The staff and passengers laughed together, creating a lively and good atmosphere. We cut through the wind at an unexpectedly fast speed, soaking in the splashes of the waves, which added just the right amount of thrill. Above all, the sunset viewed from the sea was unforgettable; it felt like I was a movie hero (or heroine) with the orange road leading to the sunset from the yacht.
最高にhappyな時間を過ごしました。スタッフと乗客が同じツボで大笑いし、開放感で盛り上がり、goodな雰囲気。思いのほか早いスピードで風を切り、波しぶきを全身に浴びて程よいスリル感も二重丸。何よりも海上から見たサンセットは忘れられない、ヨットから夕日に続くオレンジロードムードたっぷりで映画のヒーロー(ヒロイン)になった気分でした。
A trolley came to pick us up and took us to the site, where we departed on a boat with ten people. Since we had to wait while others were flying, it was a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
I was unsure about the height difference, but I was glad I chose the 110-meter course. I probably wouldn't have noticed a difference even if it were increased by 20 meters...
Everyone made a slight splash in the sea. Some people only got their feet wet, but we ended up soaking our shirts. I heard that with a Dry Landing, you can avoid getting wet, but no one requested that.
Everyone bought an SD card for $30 for 40 photos. A total of 68 photos were taken, but the ones that were in focus...
It became a great memory.
トロリーで迎えが来て現地まで送ってくれ、10名ボートに乗って出発しました。他の人が飛んでいる間待つことになるので、酔い止めを飲んでおいたのは正解でした。
高さの違いで悩みましたが、110メートルコースでよかったです。おそらく、20メートル増やしても違いがわからない・・・
全員、海に少しだけ着水していました。足だけの人もいたけど、私たちはシャツまで濡れてしまいました。Dry Landing といえば、水に濡れずに済むみたいですが誰も頼んでいませんでした。
SDカードは40枚30ドルで全員買ってました。全部で68枚撮られていたけど、ピントが合ってるのは・・・
いい思い出になりました。
I think everyone should experience this at least once. It can be expensive, especially for the length of time you're actually gonna spend in the air. But if you're looking for something new (and does not easily get sea sick), this is for you.
This was my first time both in Hawaii and parasailing. The crew was efficient, and kind. The pictures they took were both well done and affordable. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of life jackets for those who are in the boat. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii or looking to parasail.
My fiancee and I had a great time; the crew was very friendly and the Catamaran boat was very nice and clean. I would definetely recomment this trip for anyone who want to see the beautiful Waikiki shores from the ocean perspective.
I had requested a pickup and arrived at the designated location 10 minutes early, but even after waiting for 25 minutes, no one came to pick me up, which was very stressful. The voucher mentioned to call if they hadn't arrived 10 minutes after the scheduled time, but I didn't have a mobile phone that could make calls overseas, so I was really in a tough spot. However, after waiting a bit longer, they finally came to pick me up, and the lesson was so enjoyable that I forgot all about the morning's mishap! I took the lesson in a group, and since most of the participants were Japanese, we were able to chat and have fun together! Of course, whether it was the teacher's guidance or the wave conditions, I was able to stand up and had a great time!
ピックアップをお願いしていて、指定の場所に指定の時間の10分前に行って待ってたのに、25分待っても一向に迎えが来ず、とてもハラハラしました。
指定の時間の10分が過ぎて来なかったら電話するようにとバウチャーに書いてあったけど、まず海外で電話出来る携帯を持ってなかったので、とても困りました泣
でも、もう少し待ったら迎えに来てくれて、朝のそんなハプニングを忘れてしまうぐらい楽しいレッスンでした☆
グループで受けたのですが、ほとんど日本人だったので、なんとなくみんなで話しながら楽しめました!!
もちろん、先生の指導?波の状態?が良かったのか、立つことも出来てとっても楽しかったです◎
I participated in the luau show because I wanted to show it to my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. Since we had a small child with us, I chose standard seating, thinking it might be troublesome if the child started to make noise. However, it turned out to be fine since we were seated directly in front. The only downside was that we had to wait a little to get our food after the Golden Circle guests.
The food was good, especially the sushi rolls and roast beef, but the rest was just average. It was fun to see various dances, and the fire dance was particularly impressive. Instead of making noise, the child was actually keeping rhythm with the music.
It was great that we could take commemorative photos with the dancers after the show.
初ハワイの母にルアウショーを見せたくて参加しました。
席は小さい子供がいるので騒ぎ出して迷惑になったら困ると思いスタンダードシートにしました。見づらいかなぁと思っていましたが、正面だったからか何の問題もなかったです。ただ、お料理を取りに行くのはゴールデンサークルシートの方達のアトになるので少し待ちますが。。。
お料理は海苔巻きとローストビーフは美味しかったですが他は普通かな。
色々なダンスを見ることができて楽しかったです。その中でもファイヤーダンスは迫力がありました。子供も騒ぎ出すどころか音楽に合わせてリズムをとっていました。
ショー終了後にダンサーの方々と記念撮影ができたのは良かったです。
The service is only available for foreigners except during the document submission before boarding. After boarding, they seem to have memorized the explanation in Japanese and provide a brief explanation in broken Japanese. You can store your luggage at your feet on the boat. Since you may get splashed with water during the latter part of the parasailing, it's better to leave anything that shouldn't get wet at your feet. They don't insist on tips; they just casually say, "If you had fun, please consider tipping!" We paid a total of $40 for two people, including the $30 photo fee.
The acceleration of the boat at departure was fun, and I didn't feel any motion sickness at all.
The view from above was amazing!! I definitely want to do it again!
乗り込む前の書類提出時以外は外国人の方のみの対応です。
乗船後の説明も日本語の説明は暗記しているらしく、片言の日本語で説明してくれます。
荷物は船の足元に入れれるようになっています。
パラセーリング終盤に海に浸けられるので、頭から水をかぶる人もいるので、濡れては困るものはこの足元に置いて行った方がいいと思います。
チップは必要に要求してくることもなく、『楽しかったらチップお願いしまーす』と声かけしている程度でした。
30ドルの写真代と合わせて二人で40ドル払いました。
出発時の船の加速も楽しいし酔いも全くありませんでした。
空からの眺めは最高!!
また絶対やりたいです!
If you are taking your own transportation to Oahu Parasailing, leave early in order to be on time. It is easy to get lost or stuck in traffic. The staff is very friendly! If you get motion sick then you should take some Bonine or Dramamine before. You will be on a boat with 3-5 other groups. You might get motion sick waiting for everyone to take their turn parasailing. The boat Captain and riggers are really nice. They will prepare you and give you all the rules and safety precautions before. They take safety very seriously here so don't be offended if they yell at you for not following the rules. It's their job to make everyone feel safe and get everyone back to shore in one piece. This is very fun for everyone! It is a nice boat ride and parasailing tour. Do not bring expensive cameras out, you will be splashed by the waves. You won't be soaked after the boat ride, but it’s not worth the risk of ruining your expensive camera. They offer a photo package for 30 dollars. I purchased the
The staff were very friendly and it was fun. You can see whales quite often on the way there.
スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しかったです。
行く途中にクジラは結構高確率でみれますよ。
It was amazing!!!
This sums it up!!!
Above all, the staff were very kind, and their service was wonderful!!!
I truly had a fun surfing lesson, and I am grateful for that.
Thank you very much.
If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to request this place.
最高でした!!!
この一言につきます!!!
何よりスタッフの方々が非常にやさしく、対応が素晴らしかったです!!!
本当に楽しいサーフィンレッスンを体験でき、感謝しております。
有難う御座いました。
また機会があれば是非こちらでお願いしたいと思います。
My husband & I had a wonderful evening. The food was super delicious. We would like to thank the great chef, the pleasant/efficient servers & their very attentive manager. The show was great & very entertaining ESP. Michael Jackson, & the 2 Elvis impersonators. We'll do it again next time we are in Honolulu. Thank you so much for that excellent night!!! Btw, we're also glad that they gave us our 2 pictures. We will highly recommend this superb activity to our families & friends!
