All Reviews for For 7 Year Olds

Was one of the best luaus we have ever attended. The only thing I would change is they did not have the dancers take pictures with guests after the show. Every other luau we have been to, has done this.

This has truely been voted the most fun adventure by each member of our family!

Wonderful family activitiy! We had a blast. Bob, our guide was informative and entertaining. We got to see a side of Hawaii that is well preserved. Swimming and playing in the natural waterfall was very memorable.

On July 2nd, The historical sunset cruise we took was fabulous right until the end but we were very disappointed that the captain elected to dock five minutes too soon. A fantastic sunset was in the making and if we had slowed down five minutes we would have been treated to a terrific sky. Everyone with a camera was out on deck with cameras ready, and we just pulled right in to dock watching the sun slip behind the island instead of over the water where it would have been had we stayed out five more minutes. I know for certain many others were unhappy with this handling of time. Why we had to dock so quickly is a mystery to me.

It was fun, and the snorkeling was great, but it does take a lot of upper arm strength.

It was a fun experience. We got to see lots of different fish. Taking pictures is hard though because fish and boat moving, and hard to see when developed because of glass.

Our guides were great. Activities in and out of the kayaks was always up to the individual. Care was taken to explain and show how to do things. The snorkeling was great and the cliff jump (optional for everyone) was an great from the Top of the World. Excellent snacks after our trip!!

"Nappy" our driver was great. He made the trip fun. He had alot of knowledge to impart on the area, the flora and fauna and history of the Island. Great guy!

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to experience the essence of Hawaii, so I chose a luau show.

I drove there with a rental car. The parking fee was only $5 after getting a stamp at the luau reception.
Before the show started, there were various experience corners like a coconut breaking demonstration, leaf crafting, and practicing with fire dance batons.

I even chatted with some Americans sitting next to me in broken English...

Ah, it was a moment when I really felt like I was in a foreign country! I felt like I was in Hawaii! ♪

ハワイに来たからには、ハワイらしさを感じたくてルアウショーを選びました。

ﾚﾝﾀｶｰで現地まで行きました。駐車場はﾙｱｳ受付でﾊﾝｺを押してもらって、５ドルですみました。
ｼｮｰが始まる前には、ｺｺﾅｯﾂの解体ｼｮｰみたいなのとか、葉っぱのｸﾗﾌﾄ作りとか、ﾌｧｲｱｰﾀﾞﾝｽのﾊﾞﾄﾝを回す練習とか色々体験ｺｰﾅｰなどもありました。

たまたま隣の席に座ったアメリカ人の方たちとも、カタコトな英語でお話したり･･･

あ~外国にきた！ハワイに来た！って思えた時間でした♪

Our family did the Afternoon cruise and it was fantastic! There was something for everyone...snorkeling, slides, high dives. The food was great, the staff was attentive and friendly and we truly enjoy the afternoon! What a great cruise for families! Thanks.

Paradise Helicopters is an excellent company and I would highly recommend the Fire and Falls tour out of Hilo. For three of the four of us, this was our first time in a helicopter and it was amazing. Our pilot Dylan was fantastic and gave us a personal guided tour which was great because the whole ride was very interactive. Definitely the best way to see the Volcano and Water Falls!

THIS WAS A BLAST!!! THE BOAT WAS PERFECTLY SUITED FOR SNORKELING AND THE FOOD WAS GREAT. THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND OFFERED GREAT TIPS TO A FIRST TIMER LIKE ME. IF I COULD AFFORD IT, WE WOULD HAVE BOOKED A SECOND TRIP. BUT OVERALL THE SNORKEL TRIP WAS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE ACTIVITIES WE SCHEDULED ON THE TRIP.

The kayaking was not as tiring as I anticipated. My kids' highlight of the tour was the 25ft cliff jump (I only jumped the 10 ft cliff). They can't stop talking about it; truly awesome. We snorkeled on our way back from the caves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

We booked with the Fair Winds because one of us doesn't swiim and they made it possible for us both to share this amazing experience. Outstanding crew
support!!! It was sad to see so few fish but the coral beds were lovely. Well worth doing!!

This was an awesome experience. I would go again and again.

The kids loved this!!! I was afraid I might bounce out but it was fun!!!!

We did the Kayak , Snorkel and Sea Cave................it was wonderful! The guides were very nice and the snacks were very nice. I loved the whole thing!! I am a bit afraid of the Ocean so I only snorkled a little and then sat up on the rocks which was very relaxing and so beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

This was a very fun activity. The food and activities were great!

The "doors off" was everything I had expected.....spectacular!!! Combine this with Jacks Volcano House Landing and you have a fantastic adventure. Jack Thompson met us and was a very cordial tour guide of the devastation that has occured arround his house. The pilot was an obvious experienced professional. The flight was smooth and not "white knuckle" at all. My wife was even pleasantly surprised, and she hates to fly!!!

I love snorkeling and have had experiences swimming with dolphins at Hanauma Bay, Sharks Cove, and Electric Beach in Hawaii, but snorkeling with the manta rays was exceptional. Instead of actively snorkeling, you just float and watch the manta rays gather around you, and they come really close. It seems they are attracted by the light. This was quite an exhilarating tour.
The meeting point is easy to find according to the map, so I encourage you to participate. I will include a photo of the path to the meeting point taken during the day. Just aim for the Sheraton, and you won't go wrong.

スノーケル好きでこれまでハワイでハナウマ湾やシャークスコーブ、エレクトリックビーチでイルカと泳いだり経験してきましたが、このマンタとのスノーケルは格別でした。スノーケルするというより、ただ浮いていてそこに集まるマンタを見るのですが、すごい近くまで寄ってきます。光によってくるようです。これはかなり刺激的なツアーでした。
　現地集合ですが、集合場所も地図どおりでまようことなく行けるので参加してみてください。明るいうちに撮影した集合場所の道を掲載します。シェラトンを目指せば間違いありません。

Kealakekua Bay. This is the place where the monument for Captain Cook, who first discovered Hawaii, is located. The boat hardly rocked, the meals provided were delicious, and the sea had outstanding clarity. I'm glad I participated.

ケアラケクア湾。ハワイを最初に発見したキャプテンクックの記念碑がある場所です。船はほとんど揺れることがなく、提供される食事もおいしく、海は抜群の透明度です。参加してよかったです。

I decided to participate in this luau show because it is conveniently held in the center of Kailua-Kona. Check-in is at 5:00 PM, and there is also an ABC Store in the center of Kona, which is not uncommon in Oahu, so I included some shopping as well. I arrived early and watched what seemed to be a local student canoe team's practice before heading to the venue.

I have participated in luau shows several times in Waikiki, but what I think is great about this luau show is that it takes place in nature. It features Tahitian dance, Hawaiian hula, Fiji dance, Samoan dance, and fire dance—there's a little bit of everything. I believe it offers good cost performance as well.

このルアウショーはカイルアコナの中心地で開催されており便利だな~と思い参加しました。１７：００にチェックインですが、ここコナの中心地にはオアフでは珍しくないＡＢＣストアもあり、買出し含め参加しました。早めに到着し、地元の学生？のカヌーチームの練習などを見た後、会場へ。
　ルアウショーはワイキキで何度か参加しているのですが、このルアウショーのいいところは、自然の中で繰り広げらるところじゃないかと思います。タヒチアンダンス、ハワイアンフラ、フィジーダンスとサモアンなダンスそしてファイアーダンスなんでもござれです。コストパファーマンスも良いショーだと思います。

I think this is an experience you can only have on the Big Island. The night snorkeling tour with manta rays was incredible. The water temperature at night in May is about 25-26°C, but it can be a bit chilly. We were able to see manta rays that were 2 to 3 meters in size. Since I was staying at the Sheraton Keauhou Hotel, it was really convenient to walk to the tour company.

こんな体験はビックアイランドでしか味わえないと思います。マンタ レイ（オニイトマキ エイ）と泳ぐ夜のスノーケリング ツアー。夜の水温は5月で摂氏で約25,6℃なのだそうですがちょっと夜は寒いです。マンタは2~3メートルの大きさのものが見ることができました。シェラトンケアウホウホテルに宿泊していたのでツアー会社にも徒歩で行くことができ本当に良かったです。

We saw sperm whales, pilot whales and spinner dolphins in addition to fantastic snorkeling. Our Captain Chuck was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He went out of his way to show us a great time.

The sight of a large manta ray, about 3 meters in size, gracefully swimming at my feet was an indescribable experience. If you're interested in this opportunity, you should definitely go for it. I only encountered one manta, but it felt quite friendly and adorable, swimming around my feet multiple times, which was amazing. However, during the first 20 minutes in the water, it didn't appear, and I got quite cold. By the time I returned to the boat, I was shivering, and the car ride back had the heater on full blast. A thick jacket is necessary.

I also wanted to note a few things:
1) The voucher stated, "Please arrive by 5:30 PM, 10 minutes early." When I arrived just after 5 PM, the staff told me it was too early. There were people arriving at 6:30 PM as well. The start time might change due to sunset or other factors. So, I went shopping at the nearby Keauhou Shopping Center (about a 3-minute drive). It's quite a large shopping center with plenty of food court options and specialty stores, which was great.
2) Regarding photos, even with underwater lighting, a camera without a flash won't capture anything. I recommend using one with a flash.
3) Since I can't swim at all, I emailed to confirm if life jackets were available, and I received a reply saying they were. However, there were no life jackets provided. Instead, I participated with a float that was about 1 meter long. This was quite scary. It took courage to enter the night sea with this unfamiliar equipment. Watching others, I hesitantly entered the water. Once I did it, I managed, but it was a pretty frightening experience. Nevertheless, the thrill of meeting the manta ray was immeasurable. If you have the courage, I highly recommend it 200%.

3メートル前後の大きなマンタが足元を雄大に泳ぐ様は何とも言い難い感動でした。このOPに興味が有るならやるべきでしょう。１匹しか逢えませんでしたが、マンタも人に懐いている感じで可愛かったです。何回も足元を回り最高でした。しかし海に入って最初の20分は現れなかった為、体がかなり冷えてしまい、船に戻った時には体がガクガク震えてしまい帰りの車中は暖房ガンガンでした。厚手の上着は必要です。
その他気づいた事が有ったので書いておきます。
１）バウチャーに「集合時間は17時半、その10分前には来てください」と有ったので、17時過ぎに行ったら、スタッフに「早いと」言われました。18時半に来ている人も居ました。日没等の関係でスタート時間が変わるのかも？仕方ないで、近くのケアウホウショッピングセンター（車で3分位）に行ってのショッピング。此処はかなり大きなショッピングセンターで、フードコートや専門店も沢山有ってgoodでした。
２）写真ですが、下からライトアップしていてもフラッシュ無しの水中カメラでは全く写りません。フラッシュ付きをお勧めします。
３）泳ぎが全く出来ない為、ライフジャケットが有るかメールで確認したら「有ります」との返信が来たので申し込んだのにライフジャケットは有りませんでした。代わりに長さ1メートルぐらいの棒状の浮き輪みたいので参加しました。これは結構怖いです。泳げない人が夜の海に初めての道具で入るのは勇気が要りました。周りの人を見ながら最後に、怖る怖るの入水でした。やってしまえば何とかなりますが、かなり怖かった体験でした。しかしながら、マンタに会えた感動は計り知れません。勇気が有るなら200％お勧めです。

We took the open door with landing at Jack's lava house. It was a very neat experience getting to walk on the lava rock. Be prepared for being wind-blown on the open doors, and take a jacket as it can be chilly in the air. Overall a very nice experience, but don't expect big "red lava flows" as that is not realistic. You can't exactly "feel the heat" and the waterfalls are not close up views they are more from a distance and thrown in at the end, But still pretty spectacular scenery!

About 15 minutes after departing on the cruise, we encountered a pod of dolphins! At the snorkeling spot, we were able to see many tropical fish and even a sea turtle.

There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, so everything was in English, but we managed just fine. There were only two groups of Japanese people, including us. The food was quite delicious as well.

For those who are not good swimmers, there are floats and life jackets available, so it's safe. There are also prescription snorkeling masks for those with poor eyesight, which made it comfortable.

On the return cruise, you might feel cold since your swimsuit will be wet. I recommend bringing a large towel or something to wear over it.

クルーズに出発して15分くらいで、すでにイルカの群れに遭遇！シュノーケルスポットでは、たくさんの熱帯魚の他、海亀まで見ることができました。
日本語が話せるスタッフはいないので、すべて英語でしたが、なんとかなりました。
日本人は私たちを含めて2組のみ。食事も結構美味しかったです。
泳ぎが苦手な人には、フロートやライフジャケットもあるので安心です。視力が悪い人のために、度付きのシュノーケルのマスクもあり、快適でした。
帰りのクルーズでは水着が濡れているので寒く感じると思います。大き目のタオルか、羽織るものを持っていくことをお勧めします。

This was a great time for me and my husband. We took this day break to visit the island of Oahu ... and the WWII monument at Pearl Harbor. It was really an eye opener and refreshing reminder of the sacrifices made by our service men and women. No words! Our guide was fantastic and fun and very well organized. Highly Recommended!!!

It's amazing to see manta rays up close like this. However, rather than swimming alongside them, you’re more in a state of floating in the water and watching the manta rays swim. So, for those who are sensitive to cold, it might be a bit tough. But they come close enough to almost touch you, and I think it's an experience you can't easily have elsewhere, so I would recommend it.

こんなに近くでマンタが見れるなんて驚きです。ただ一緒に泳ぐというより、海にぷかぷか浮かんで海中を泳ぐマンタを見るという状態なので、寒さが苦手な人はちょっと辛いかもしれません。でも、体にぶるかるくらいまで近くに寄ってきてくれますし、他ではなかなかできない体験かと思いますので、お勧めだと思います。
