All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

The difference from the past is that there are many participants and various ways to enjoy it (in the past, it was only snorkeling), so people of all ages can have fun. However, on this day, we were affected by half rain and cold.

昔との違いは、多くの参加者、いろいろな楽しみ方（昔はシュノーケリングのみ）があるので、年齢層に関係なく楽しめます。ただこの日は半分移行雨と寒さにやられました。

This is my fourth visit, but I brought my family for the first time. Everyone was excited and voiced their joy while enjoying the beautiful scenery during the drive. We had a great time exploring the magnificent views and filming locations. However, all the guidance after departure is in English.

私は4回目の訪問ですが、初めての家族を連れて行きました。運転しながらい凛な景色を見て全員が声を出して喜んでいました。壮大な景色やロケ地を見て回りとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ただ出発後は案内はすべて英語です。

I wasn't very knowledgeable about the war, but they provided detailed information about that time. It was great that a Japanese person was the tour guide.

あまり戦争に詳しくなかったけど細かく当時のことを教えてくれました。
日本人の方がツアーガイドをしてくてたので良かったです。

I had a lot of fun.
I think it's better to wear clothes that can get dirty.
If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try horseback riding as well.

とても楽しかったです
汚れても大丈夫な服装で行った方がいいと思います
次に行く機会があれば乗馬体験もしてみたいです

I received detailed information about various characteristics of different places! Even during the travel, I was provided with trivia and guidance, which made the travel time enjoyable and not boring!

各地様々な特徴など細かく教えて頂きました！
移動中も豆知識など案内頂き移動時間も飽きずに過ごせました！

I participated with my daughter, who said she wanted to fly in the sky. I thought she might be a little scared, but she was flying higher than the birds and was having an amazing time! The staff were very kind to the children, which helped ease their nerves. She said she wants to fly again, so I hope we can experience it once more. Thank you very much!

空を飛びたいと言ってた娘と参加。実際は少し怖がるかと思っていましたが、鳥よりも高い所を飛んでいて、すごーい！最高と楽しんでいました。スタッフの方も子どもに良くしていただいて、緊張がほぐれたと思います。また空飛びたいと言っていたので、また体験できたらと思っています。ありがとうございました。

I have been going to Hawaii for many years and was aware of Kualoa Ranch, but I had avoided this attraction because I wasn't very interested in the Jurassic Park movies. However, after participating for the first time, I was greatly impressed by the scale and structure of the attraction. This time, I joined three tours: the Jungle, Movie, and Kualoa Farm tours, and I would like to participate in the remaining tours in the future if given the opportunity. Also, the staff members were really kind, and I’m very glad I participated in this tour.

ハワイに長年行っており、クアロア・ランチのことは知っていましたが、ジュラシックパークの映画にあまり興味がないので、このアトラクションを敬遠していました。しかし、初めて参加して、スケールの壮大さやアトラクションの構成に大変感動しました。今回は、ジャングル、ムービーとクアロア農園の３件のツアーに参加しましたが、機会があれば残りのツアーにも今後参加したいと思います。あと、スタッフの方々も本当に親切で、今回のツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。

Great time for the whole family. I have two young child who were able to snorkel and kayak.

Great experience. Crew was awesome and very friendly. Very good picnic cooked up by the captain. Unfortunately there were showers and lightning around, but still had the opportunity to walk the sandbar. Will definitely go again and get the snorkeling in the next time. Worth the price including the transportation from Waikiki area.

Came out to Hawaii for vacation & of course the weather is u predictable . Just so happens the day we plan on going it was high of 73 super windy and raining . They told us there was inside seating on the boat that we can not reschedule or get a refund . I’m sorry I’m not sitting on a boat for 4 hrs inside . So we ended up loosing 500$ rude people do not do it !!

First, I got out of the water after about 40 minutes due to bad weather. My body was completely cold, and the only drinks available were cold ones. I really wished there had been at least some hot coffee. Also, it was quite a bit of water (about waist-high), which is also a matter of luck. Well, I won't be coming back.

まず、悪天候で40分ぐらいで海から上がった。身体も冷えきっていて、ドリンクも冷たいものしかなくて、せめてホットコーヒーでもあればなぁと思った。
あと、これも運しだいになるが、結構水位があった（腰ぐらい）
まぁリピートは無いです。

I was expecting something like a glass-bottom boat, but it turned out to be more like a submarine than I thought. The underwater experience is exciting and piques your intellectual curiosity. There weren't any turtles underwater, but there were plenty on the surface. Dive in, why don't you?

That said, it was an interesting experience. I won't spoil anything, so it's something to enjoy after you experience it yourself!

グラスボートに毛が生えたようなものを想定していたら、思った以上に潜水艦でした。
水中体験はワクワクしますし、知的好奇心をくすぐります。
亀は水中にはいませんでしたが、水上にたくさんいました。潜りやがれよ。

とはいえ、面白い体験でした。
ネタバレはしないので、体験してからのお楽しみですかね？

Wir buchten die 2. Tagestour. Leider war zu diesem Zeitpunkt Flut. Von einer Sandbank somit weit und breit nichts zu sehen. Keine versproche Bar, kein Sandbank Feeling. Für uns vier Personen verlorene wertvolle Zeit und verlorenes Geld. Snacks: ein Minisandwich, Auswahl der im Preis inbegriffene Getränke am Boot: Wasser und ein mit Pulver angerührtes aromatisiertes orangen Getränk, das wohl einen Orangensaft darstellen sollte. Nur Schwimmen möglich, SUP, Kajakpaddeln, - alles lediglich an einem mini eingeschränktem Platz. Wir sind Sehr, sehr enttäuscht

Before boarding, we were informed that the sea conditions were poor, and it would likely not be possible to see fish or the reef through the glass bottom. The boat would also be very rocky. They assured us that those who wished to cancel would receive a refund, which was a sincere response. Additionally, although it was originally supposed to be in English only, we were fortunate that the staff included Japanese speakers, so there were no inconveniences, and we had a comfortable time.

By the way, on the day of the trip, not a single person chose to cancel; everyone, including babies and the elderly, opted to board.

乗船前の説明で、本日は海のコンディションが悪く グラスボトムで魚を見たり魚礁を見ることがおそらくできません。船もすごく揺れます。ですので キャンセルされる方は返金致します、と誠実な対応がありました。それと、もとは英語のみのはずでしたが、運がいい事に日本人含むスタッフだったので 不便なことは全くなく快適な時間を過ごせました。
ちなみに当日はキャンセルする方は一人もおらず、赤ちゃんや高齢者含め 全員乗船を選択しました。

My family said this was the best experience and they had fun! Would definatley go again!

Driving a buggy through the vast nature was refreshing and a lot of fun. There are some pretty tough off-road sections, so you can have a thrilling experience as well. Watching the movie in advance will enhance your enjoyment even more.

バギーを自分で運転しながら広大な自然の中を巡るのは爽快でとても楽しかったです。
結構オフロードがキツい所もあるのでスリリングな体験も出来ます。
映画を事前に観ておくとより楽しめます。

I had always wanted to try this, so I experienced it, and it was even more fun than I imagined! At first, I was scared, but I gradually got used to it, and before I knew it, it was over.

On the same boat, there were two pairs of Japanese honeymooners, one pair of Korean honeymooners, and one Japanese parent-child duo, including us. We took videos with each other and shared them via AirDrop.

I brought my smartphone in a waterproof case, but when we were flying, I left it with my belongings. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medicine beforehand. I usually don't get seasick, but I took it just in case.

I found that the trick to not getting seasick is to face the direction of travel and not look down. You can store your belongings under the seat, so they won't get wet, but I recommend going with minimal luggage. If you frequently look down while taking things in and out, you will definitely get seasick…

The captain teaches you how to wear the life jacket in simple Japanese, so I don't think it will be a problem even if you don't understand English. They will also take plenty of photos if you request them. However, you will need to tip for that, haha. We gave them $20.

When we landed in the water, we got soaked up to our knees. Some people were soaked up to their waists, so be prepared to get wet.

Overall, it was so much fun, and I highly recommend it!

一度やってみたかったので、体験しましたが想像以上に楽しかった！
最初は怖かったですが、段々と慣れてきてあっという間に終わってしまいました。
同じボートに私たちを含む日本人ハネムーナーが2組、韓国人ハネムーナーが1組、日本人の親子が1組いました。同じボートに乗っていた人同士で動画を撮って、エアドロで送りあったりしました。
自分のスマホは防水ケースに入れて行きましたが、飛んでいる時は荷物と一緒に置いておきました。
酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。普段船酔いはしないですが、念の為飲んでおきました。
船酔いしないコツは進行方向をむく、下を向いたりしないことだなと思いました。
荷物は座るところの下に入れられるので、ぬれたりはしましませんが、最小限の荷物で行くのがオススメです。
荷物の出し入れで下を頻繁に向いたら確実に船酔いすると思います…
船長さんはライフジャケットの着方など簡単な日本語で教えてくれるので、英語が分からなくても問題ないと思います。
写真も希望すればたくさん撮ってくれます。
その分チップは必要ですが笑
私たちは20ドル渡しました。
着水の時は膝ぐらいまで浸かりました。
人によっては腰ぐらいまで浸かっていたので、ぬれる覚悟はしたほうがいいと思います。
とにかく楽しかったので、オススメです！

It's good that activities like SUP and snorkeling are available, but there's no explanation for why the sandbar doesn't appear, and everything is left up to the participants with very little staff involvement. This tour is great for those who want to play freely for about two hours.

サンドバーが出現しないことの説明がない中で、SUPやシュノーケルなどのアクティビティが用意されているのは良いが、すべて参加者任せで、スタッフの介入がほとんどない。
自由に、2時間程度遊びたい人には良いツアーです。

I chose this experience to fulfill my mother's wish to see tropical fish without having to enter the ocean. It turned out to be a great decision. The cruise in the Hawaiian waters before boarding the submarine and the transfer to the submarine offshore was also a valuable experience. Once we boarded, I believe there was an element of luck involved that day, but we were able to see many fish. We even got to see manta rays swimming gracefully.

海には入りたくないが熱帯魚を見たいという母の願いを叶えるために選びました。結果は大正解です。潜水艦に乗るまでのハワイの海のクルージング、沖での潜水艦への乗り換えも貴重な体験です。いざ乗り込んでからは当日の運要素もあると思いますが、たくさんの魚を観ることができました。優雅に泳ぐマンタも観られました。

The check-in process was easy to understand, and since the important information was provided in Japanese, there were no uncertainties at all! There were about five groups in our party, along with four staff members. The explanations were in English, but they demonstrated everything, making it easy to follow. During the break, we were provided with water and fruit. It was clear that they were attentive to safety, which allowed me to try everything with peace of mind. It was my first time, but I had a great time! Thank you very much!

チェックインもわかりやすいし、注意事項の確認も日本語なので不明点など一切なし！
一パーティに5組くらいで一緒に回りますが、スタッフも4人。
英語のみの説明ですが、やってみせてくれるのでわかりやすい。
途中休憩でお水やフルーツが提供されます。
安全に気を遣っていることがわかり、安心してトライできました。
初めてですが楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

This was the highlight of our trip to Oahu. We had such an amazing time. My daughter who is six made friends with one of the staff and helped them clean all of the masks. We loved the snorkeling and the kayaking.. we were invited to join the speedboat, pulling the bananas out into the ocean and got to see some sea turtles! Everybody we spoke to was warm and inviting. The owner of the Boat even took time to explain to my son how the engines worked. Absolutely phenomenal experience. Thank you for everything.

I'm glad I could see dolphins up close! While snorkeling, I also saw various fish. I had requested photos, so I'm happy to have many beautiful pictures of our group both on the boat and underwater. The English explanations were so fast that I couldn't catch anything, so it was definitely the right choice to have a Japanese guide. As for the hula, I'm not sure if it can really be called a hula show... Overall, it was a lot of fun!!

イルカが近くで見られてよかったです！シュノーケリング中も、いろんなお魚が見えました。写真もお願いしていたので、船上でも水中でもグループでのきれいな写真がたくさん残せて嬉しいです。英語の説明が早口で何一つ聞き取れなかったので、日本語ガイド付きにして正解でした。フラに関しては、あれをフラショーと呼んでいいのか謎ですが…全体的にとても楽しかったです！！

this is a working tour. Yes, we got to do the rowing and worked to get out in the waves and ride it in. We are not the only ones on the water. We have to avoid all the swimmers who also wanted to ride the waves. Great fun! Great view! a bit of work but well worth it. We also got a little wet.

Had a wonderful day! Celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary in Hawaii! Kualoa ranch was also a perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day!

It seemed like we could walk from our hotel in Waikiki, but we took a taxi called by the hotel to get to the Ala Wai Boat Harbor. When we arrived, the driver asked where to go, and when I gave him the address, he understood it was for parasailing. It was definitely better to pay $20, including tip, than to walk and get lost.

We arrived a bit early, so we checked in and waited in the van. Once we boarded the boat, we sped out to sea. There were three of us, and the rest were pairs, about four to five groups. We were fitted with harnesses and life jackets, and since we were the first group of three, we floated up from the back of the boat. We chose the height of 150 meters, and the view of Waikiki Beach was stunning. The weather was great, and it felt amazing.

It felt like we were on a swing, and while we were secured by the belt, I thought having a belt around the waist would provide more stability. However, I was able to take some photos with one hand free. Just before landing, we dipped slightly into the sea. I think we could land on the boat without getting wet, but our legs did get a little wet, which was a nice touch.

Our bags and sandals were stored under the boat seats, so they didn’t get wet. After we got off, the next group went up, and it was a continuous rotation. There was a note saying tips were always welcome, so I handed one out before getting off the boat.

The photos were $40, but they were worth it. We had 133 pictures taken. We were able to download them on the spot and received an SD card as well.

ワイキキのホテルから歩いても行けるようでしたが、ホテルで呼んでもらったタクシーで「アラワイボートハーバー」まで行ってもらって、どこ？って聞かれたので、番地を言うとパラセイリング？ってドライバーさんがわかってくれていてそこまで行けました。
チップ込で20$なら歩いて行って道に迷うより良かったと思います。
少し時間が早く着いてしまったので受付を済ませて、バンの中で待たせてもらいました。
ボートに乗り込むとすごいスピードで沖合へ出ます。私たちは3人組で他はペアが4～5組。
ハーネスと救命胴衣付けてもらって持っていると3人組の私たちが1番で、ボートの後ろの方からフワッと浮き上がり、高さ150mを選びましたがワイキキの浜を一望できて、天気も良くとても気持ち良かったです。
ブランコに乗っている気分でベルトに座りますが、腰にもベルトがあればもっと安定するかなと思いました。でも片手離して写真も少し撮れました。
着地の直前少し海に入ります。全く濡れずにボートに着地できると思いますが、ちょっと脚の方だけ海に浸かるのはサービスかな？それも楽しいです。
荷物とサンダルはボートの座席の下に入れるので濡れる事は無いです。
私たちが降りると次の組が上がり、次々入れ替わります。
チップはいつでもOKって書いてあったのでボート降りる前に渡しました。
写真は40$ですが買う価値あります。私たちのは133枚ありました。その場でダウンロードして、SDカードももらいました。

Enjoyed the hike in rainforest even though the hike seemed more like an intermediate level hike instead of a beginner's hike. (maybe I'm just out of shape more than I thought I was!) Driver to and from was friendly and knowledgeable about Manoa Falls and the surrounding areas. The bug spray, walking stick, and water bottle were a definite plus. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

We had a tour with six people, guided by Chieko and Dan, who took us around Hanauma Bay. They provided attentive care, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

We were able to see many fish and even an eel, and the hour flew by. However, it did get a bit cold towards the end. I think a wetsuit is essential.

Making our own reservations, arranging transportation, and waiting in line to rent equipment and suits, as well as storing valuables, can be quite a hassle. With this tour, everything was arranged without any worries, and we were guided according to the day's conditions. The pick-up and drop-off were direct.

Thank you, Chieko! I had a great time. Thank you very much.

６人のツアーにチエコさんとダンさん二人ガイドがついて、ハナウマ湾を案内してくださいました。きめ細かく良く面倒を見てくださったので、安心して楽しめました。
沢山の魚や、ウツボなど、見ることができて、あっという間の1時間でした。が、最後は、寒くなってきました。ウェットスーツは必須だと思います。
自分で入場予約枠確保して足を手配したり、現地で並んで機材やスーツを借り、貴重品預けるのはのは、かなり面倒。これらが何の心配も無く、手配されていて、その日のコンディションに合わせて案内してもらえます。送迎も直行直帰でした。

チエコサン、お世話になりました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

We had a wonderful time with the entire crew! The bbq was great as well! Would recommend doing this when in Hawaii! They took us to see turtles and I got some great pictures and video of turtles swimming!

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I could handle the 150 meters. But it was definitely more comfortable up in the sky than on the boat! I thought I might be scared at such a height, but it was totally fine. Once I got up there, it was stable, and I was amazed by the grandeur of the scenery. However, I was a bit nervous about changing my position, so I held onto the harness tightly and couldn't take many photos. I'm really glad I had the experience!

最初は、150m、どうしよう、耐えられるかな？と不安でしたが、空の上の方がボートの上より断然快適でした！
高いところで怖いかも？なんて思ってましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
上に上がってしまえば安定して、景色の雄大さに感動です。
ただ、やはり自分の体制を変えることに不安があり、ハーネスをしっかり握っていたので、写真はたくさんは撮れませんでした。
本当に体験できてよかったです！

I checked the tide and participated in the morning. The knee-deep water was decent, but I was surprised that it was cold even in May, probably due to the strong wind. My daughter was feeling cold the whole time and ended up wanting to get back on the boat early.

I didn't want to rent snorkeling gear, so I bought my own in Japan. I thought I saw something that mentioned we might encounter sea turtles, so I asked the guide if they could take us to a place where we could see them. They coldly replied that there are no sea turtles and that they wouldn't go to such a place. It seems that what I saw might have been a tour authorized by the state government.

The snorkeling set wasn't necessary; just a pair of goggles for the pool would have sufficed. The area enclosed by the buoys felt quite small.

Because of the strong wind, the stand-up paddleboard was easily swept outside the buoys, making it hard to enjoy. The donuts looked like they came in various types in the photos, but there was only one kind available.

The live music was lovely, but although it appeared to be a duet in the photos, there was only one performer. Next time I go, I think I will avoid this tour based on this experience.

潮位は調べて午前中に参加しました。
膝位でまずまずでしたが、風が強いせいか5月でも寒いのにびっくりです。娘はずっと寒がっていて早々に船に引き上げてしまいました。
シュノーケリング をレンタルするのが嫌で日本で購入して行きました。海亀に遭遇できるかもって文言を見た気がしたので、日本対応のガイドさんに海亀が見えるところに連れて行ってもらえるのですかと聞いた所、海亀なんていません。そんな所には行きませんと冷たく言い放たれてしまいました。どうも私が見たのは州政府公認許可を得ているツアーだったのかもです。
シュノーケリング のセットは必要なくただプールで使うゴーグルで事足りる感じでした。ブイで囲まれている面積も狭い感じでした。
風が強いのでSUPが流されてブイの外にすぐ出る感じであまり楽しめなかったです。
ドーナツも写真ではいろいろな種類が写ってますが1種類だけでした。
生演奏は素敵でしたが、写真では2人で演奏ですがお1人でした。
今度行くときは今回の事を踏まえてこのツアーにはしないかと思います。
