Waikiki
This was a lesson in English. I mistakenly made a reservation for an English lesson instead of a Japanese one...
The other participants were also foreigners, and I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but it was really fun.
The instructor helped us catch the waves properly. Even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up, and I'm glad I signed up.
Since it was a male instructor, I think he was especially kind to the women (laughs).
They took a lot of photos during surfing, and those who wanted could buy them on a DVD-R for $30. Tips are separate, and there is a tip box after the lesson.
There were two instructors, but the one who said he was from California was particularly very kind and cool.
The rainbow I saw while being rocked by the waves was beautiful and became a wonderful memory.
こちらは英語でのレッスンでした。日本語レッスン希望だったのに違えて予約してしまいました....。
他の参加者も外国人で説明等もほとんど分かりませんでしたが、すごく楽しかったです。
インストラクターがちゃんと波に乗せてくれます。初めてなのに立てたし、申し込んで良かったです。
男性インストラクターなので女性には特に優しいと思います（笑）
サーフィン中の写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、希望者はDVDーRにして30$で買えます。チップは別で終わった後にチップボックスがあります。
インストラクターが２人付きましたが、カルフォルニア出身といっていたインストラクーの方が特にとても優しくてかっこ良くて良かったです。
海に揺られながら見た虹が綺麗で素敵な思い出になりました。

The scenery was obviously beautiful and the crew seemed very knowledgable and capable. However, I have not been on a cruise like this before and conduct of other passengers and comments by crew about drinking and such were inappropriate in the presence of children. The enviroment was definitely not a family one. I was disappointed because my children did not enjoy it like I thought they would because they felt uncomfortable.
The sunset, the sea breeze, the drinks, and the atmosphere were all amazing on the catamaran. But... why was it on the net? A friend's camera from a wedding and honeymoon slipped through the net and fell into the sea! A fun memory turned into a sad one...
夕日も、海風も、お酒も、雰囲気も最高のカタマラン号でした。が・・・なぜ？網の上なの？ウェディング＆ハネムーンの友人のカメラが見事網の目をくぐって海へ！楽しい思い出が悲しい思い出に・・・

This was a show that truly felt like Hawaii. The scale has shrunk quite a bit since I first saw it several decades ago, but it was a good show. The fire dance, in particular, was impressive. The food was buffet style; it wasn't bad, but it was just okay. I recommend it for those visiting Hawaii for the first time.
これぞハワイと言う感じのショーでした。
数十年前に始めてみた時からは大分規模はシュリンクしていましたが、良いショーでした。
特に火の踊りは圧巻でした。
料理は、ビュッフェスタイルで、まずくはありませんが、まずまずというところでした。
ハワイへ初めて行く人にはお勧めです。

YOU DO SEE TURTLES! Amazing experience- we saw 5 large sea turtles at the cleaning station. We had a large one come up for air literally right in front of us- I could have reached out and touched it! We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.
I always had experiences that I couldn't enjoy from the land or the hotel garden. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, and the romantic presentation from the sea.
いつも陸やホテルの庭からでは味わえない体験をしました。
ハワイといえば海、その海からのロマンある演出、

We shared a table with several foreign couples. We enjoyed watching the show while having fun conversations. When they asked if we were on our honeymoon, we were cheered on by those around us and ended up going on stage to dance. It became a wonderful memory.
外国人カップル数組とテーブルが一緒でした。
楽しく会話しながらショーを拝見しました。
ハネムーンの方？と言われたので周りから囃し立てられ登壇してダンスをしました。 良い思い出になりました。

This was like my 5th time and like always a BLAST!!
If you love the ocean, you can easily enjoy surfing in Hawaii, a place everyone dreams of.
At the edge of Waikiki Beach, I received kind instruction from wonderful staff.
Of course, I had never surfed before, but I was able to experience riding the waves in Hawaii.
My wife isn't a strong swimmer, but even after I dragged her along, she ended up smiling on the way back.
I'm so moved to have fulfilled a long-time dream.
海好きの方なら誰もが憧れたハワイでサーフィンが気軽に楽しめます(^o^)
ワイキキビーチの外れで素敵なスタッフの方に親切に教えていただいて
もちろんサーフィンなんかやった事ない僕がハワイで波に乗る経験が出来ました(^o^)
奥さんはあんまり泳げないのですが無理矢理誘っても最後は笑顔で帰れて
長年の夢叶えられて感動してます

I participated with my child. The sea was beautiful, and we went quite far out, which was very nice. However, I think it would have been even more fun if we could have joined as a group. Also, since you get quite wet from the sea spray, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet. If you're worried about getting wet, I don't think you'll enjoy it as much.
親子二人で参加しました。
海もきれいで結構沖まで行きとてもよかったですが、
グループで参加できればもっと楽しかったと思います。
また、かなりシースプレーで濡れるので濡れても構わない服装での参加をお勧めします。
濡れることを気にしているとそんなに楽しめないと思います。

I participated with my elderly mother. I was a bit worried about the presence of a ladder, but it was no problem and it was very good. For those who cannot speak English, I definitely recommend the Japanese-speaking guide tour. I think not understanding the guide would greatly reduce the enjoyment.
高齢者の母と参加いたしました。
はしごがあるとの事で多少心配でしたが、
問題なく、とてもよかったです。
英語が出来ない方は是非、日本語ガイドの回をお勧めします。
ガイドがわからないと楽しさ半減だと思われます。

I wasn't expecting much from the hula and fire dance in Hawaii, but it was really great. I didn't understand much English, but I had a lot of fun. Before the show started, there were some fun booths where you could choose your favorite designs for temporary tattoos on your arms and legs... (it was free). The food was served buffet-style, and I could take as much as I wanted. However, once the show started, I got so focused on watching that I forgot to eat with my chopsticks (or fork). I sat next to an American named Porter, and even though we couldn't understand each other, we connected and exchanged emails. After returning home, I sent him the photos via email.
Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the free seating. I'm thinking of coming back here next year if I have dinner elsewhere in the evening.
ハワイのフラやファイヤーダンスだろうってそんなに期待していなかったけどとても良かった。
英語はよくわかりませんでしたが楽しめましたよ。
ショーが始まるまではちょっとした遊びのブース見たいのがあって足や腕にタトゥーを好きな絵柄を選んで書いてくれたり.....（無料でした）
料理もビュフェ形式で好きなものを沢山取れます。でもショーが始まると見ることに集中して箸（フォーク）が止まって食べるのを忘れてた。
隣に座っていたアメリカ人のポータさんとは言葉は理解できないけど、打ち解けメール交換しましたよ。帰国して写真をメール送信しました。
席も早めに並んで行ったので自由席でも十分楽しめました。
来年も夜は他でディナーするならまたここで楽しみたいと考えています。

With so many activities in HI being budget-breakers, this one delivers a really fun, relaxing evening at a very reasonable price. The mai tai's on board were enjoyable and refreshing. The crew was great, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs, which made the experience all the more fun. The music was appropriately upbeat and fun. I thnk I could be pursuaded to do this nightly!
Positive Points
- The shuttle bus to the hotel is a dedicated trolley, which is easy to understand.
- You take a boat to reach the submarine, and the scenery is nice just offshore.
- Since it's just offshore, it's less likely to cause seasickness.
- It's a submarine, after all!!!
- You might see quite a bit.
- You can understand the current state of Hawaii's oceans and the various efforts being made to protect the sea.
Negative Points
- The fish visibility is quite low; if you expect to see fish up close to the windows, you might be disappointed. However, it is a very valuable experience to see the state of fish in nature and how they exist. You can feel the gap between the ocean on TV and the actual reality. Also, it depends on luck; I was able to see a sea turtle and a ray, but it seems there are times when you can see sharks as well. You might think that turtles are like Gamera in the ocean.
- There is a small invitation on the way back, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Even though the fish visibility is low, they do go around the wrecks, and you can actually see a lot of fish, so it's not really a bad point. Compared to the photos in the pamphlet, it might be a bit lacking... but this applies to everything.
They take photos at the entrance, but they sell them for $40 on the way back. Well, that's pretty common, right? However, for couples or as a memento of a honeymoon, the quality is good, so it's worth it. We bought one. Oh, and you might hear the name of a well-known airplane, too? (Sorry if I'm mistaken).
良かった点
・ホテルへの送迎バスが専用トロッコで、わかり易い。
・潜水艦に乗るまで、船で行くのですがちょっとした
沖合で景色が良い事。
・ちょっとした沖合なので船酔いしにくい。
・とにかく潜水艦！！！。
・結構見れるかな？。
・今のハワイの海の実態や、海を守るために色々な努力
がなされているという事実がわかります。
悪かった点
・とにかく魚影は薄いです、窓の近くで魚を見れると
思って行くとがっかりするかもしれなせん。
ただ、自然における魚の状態や有り様が見れるので、
とても貴重な体験だと思います。
テレビの中の海と実際の現実とのギャップを肌で
感じる事ができるでしょう。
またその時の運もあるでしょう、自分はウミガメと
エイをみれましたが、サメが見れる時もあるよう
ですね。
亀なんて、海の中のガメラってこんな感じなんだ
ろうなって思うこと請け合いです。
・帰りにちょっとした招待がありますがお勧めしません。
魚影が薄いとは言っても、ちゃんと沈没船などの周りを回っってくれて実際は多くの魚を見ることができるので、あまり悪い点とはいえないですね^＾；。
パンフの写真とかと比べるとちょっと・・・というところでしょうか。まあこれは全てに当てはまるでしょう。
入り口で写真を撮ってくれるのですが、帰りに４０ドルでうってくれます。まあよくある事ですよね。ただカップルや新婚旅行の記念としては、出来も良いのでいいのでは？自分たちは買って来ました。
あ、そうそう知る人ぞ知る飛行機の名前も出てくるかも知れませんよ？(間違いだったらごめんんさい^＾；)。

It was very expensive and thrilling. It was fun and scary, and the view from above the sea was amazing. The guide was cheerful, and we were able to enjoy ourselves.
とても高くてスリル満点。楽しかったのと、怖かったのとで海の上から見る最高の景色も抜群。ガイドも陽気で楽しむ事ができました。

You can enjoy Diamond Head and the deep blue sea with a different atmosphere than usual. However, those who are prone to seasickness definitely need to bring motion sickness medication.

I used this for my honeymoon.
I added the option to take photos for $30.
I was able to see wild dolphins from above and had a great time.
I paid $50 for the tip and the photo option.

Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper
It was my first experience with parasailing, and I had a great time. Thank you!
パラセイル初体験でしたが、非常に楽しめました。

Since the stage is set up on the rooftop, it's difficult to see the show because of people's heads. If the seating were tiered like at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it would be possible to see the entire show from the back, even if it's far away.
The "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is very convenient for those staying at the Hilton, as it's located within the village. It's also convenient to be able to watch the show while having a meal.
屋上に舞台を作ってショウーを見せているので、人の頭で
ショーが見えずらい。ポリネシア文化センターの様に客席が
階段状になって居れば、後ろでも遠くになるが、ショウー全体が

We cruised until we reached the point where we boarded the submarine! The inside of the submarine was a bit cramped, and the windows were smaller than I expected, but I got to see the wreckage of a Japanese airplane that sank long ago and also spotted some sea turtles, experiencing something out of the ordinary.
潜水艦に乗るまではクルーズし、潜水艦に乗る地点まで行きます！潜水艦内は少し狭く窓は思ったより小さいですが、昔沈没した日本の飛行機遺跡を見たり、海がめを見たり非日常を味わいましたよ。

The submarine tour felt a bit lacking in visibility and there seemed to be fewer schools of fish for someone like me who enjoys diving. However, the scenery during the boat ride to the submarine was amazing! Seeing Diamond Head and the hotel zone from the sea is such a wonderful experience.
潜水艦での周遊は、ダイビングをする私にはちょっと透明度が悪く魚の群れが少なかった様に感じます。しかし潜水艦に乗るまでに船で移動するのですが、その景色が最高！海からダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテルゾーンを見るってこんなにいいものなのですね。

I was wondering what it would feel like to float and return to the boat, but it was really easy. I could float gently, and it was a lot of fun.

We participated with my grandmother, children, and a couple, making a group of four. We were able to enjoy parasailing together. The staff on the boat mostly spoke English, but they occasionally spoke in Japanese to make sure we understood. After it was over, everyone applauded us, and we had a valuable experience. I would like to request this again for our next marine sports activity. Both the children and my grandmother were delighted. Thank you very much.
おばあちゃん、子供、夫婦4人で参加しました。4人一緒でパラセーリングできみんな一緒に楽しめました。船上でのスタッフは英語が多かったですが、所々日本語で分かるように話しかけてくれました。終わった後はみんな拍手でねぎらってくれて貴重な体験ができました。次回マリンスポーツ参加時にはお願いしたいと思ってます。子供もおばあちゃんも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.
It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.
While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.
However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...
とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。
日本人以外の方が多く（日本人：日本人以外＝１：４ぐらい）、交流ができてよかったです。（ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑）
クルーの方もみなさん親切でよくしていただきました。
大きな船でのディナークルーズもいいですが、少人数でゆったりとなごやかなクルーズもよいと思います。
ただ食事（肉系が・・・）がすぐになくなってしまい思う存分は食べられませんでした・・・。

Very murky water not much to see, sub time was almost an hour off. Disapointed
This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!
It was a wonderful show with singing and dancing. The two drinks included were just right. The meal was also delicious.
歌にダンスにとても素晴らしいショーでした。
ドリンク２杯が付いてるのも丁度良かったです。

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.
My friend wanted to parasail while she was visiting me on the island. I had never been and I am really glad we chose Hawaii Parasail. Hector made it easy and fun, not to mention, he was CUTE! :)
The Captain was great and so was our whole experience. Thanks!
