All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Family had great time..had a little rain but it rains every day here in Honolulu and didn’t stop anything and had a rainbow after..would definitely recommend this Luau…

About 15 years ago, I participated in the same luau as an option on a tour, but back then it was outdoors, so I was a little disappointed that this time it was indoors. I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes before the opening time, but there were already 7 or 8 groups ahead of me. While waiting, I was able to talk with an elderly couple from New Jersey who stood behind me, and thanks to their patience with my broken English, the time flew by until we entered the venue. Since I lined up early, the table we were guided to was right behind the high-priced tables, making it very easy to see the show. The food and drinks were delicious, and I was very satisfied with the spectacular show. If the yen becomes a bit stronger, I would like to participate again. At the end, I took a photo with one of the dancers from the show, and my wife was also very happy with the night. *I declined the commemorative photo taken at the beginning because it was expensive.

15年くらい前にツアーについていたオプションで同じルアウに参加したことがあったが、その時は屋外だったのが今回は室内だったのが少しだけ残念だった。
開場時間の30分前に集合場所に行ったが既に7〜8組が前にいた。
待っている際に後ろに並んだニュージャージーから来られていた年配の
ご夫婦と話をすることができ、片言の英語に付き合っていただいたおかげで
あっという間に会場となった。
早めに並んだので案内されたテーブルは高いコースのテーブルのすぐ後ろでとても見やすい席だった。
料理もお酒も美味しくいただき、圧巻のショーにとても満足することができた。
もう少し円高になれば、また参加したいと思った。
最後にショーのダンサー？の方と一緒に写真を撮っていただき、妻も大満足の夜でした。
※最初に撮っていただいた記念写真は高額のためお断りした。

Experience a 2-hour buggy ride!
With plenty of time, we took turns driving!

Anyone can drive if they have a Japanese driver's license!
Driving is easy, just like a golf cart, so anyone can do it.

Our handsome guide provided instructions in English.
Since we are not very good at English, there were many parts we couldn't understand, but he took lots of photos and videos for us!

The weather was unpredictable, and it started to rain, so having a raincoat would be nice! However, most people managed without one! We also didn't use a raincoat, but the buggy has a cover, so we didn't get too wet!

However, it was windy and cold, so we wore a hoodie over our tank tops and took it off at times!
This information is from early April 2024, so please keep it in mind!

バギーを2時間体験！
2時間たっぷりなので運転は交代でしました！

日本の免許証があれば誰でも運転できます！
ゴルフのカートのように運転は簡単で
誰でもできます。

イケメンガイドさんが英語で案内してくれました。
私たちは英語があまり得意ではないので
理解できないところが多々ありましたが
写真や動画をたくさん撮ってくださいました！

途中で雨が降ってきたりと
天気は読めないのでカッパがあったら
いいですね！でもほとんどの方が
カッパを使わずに過ごしてました！
私たちもカッパは使用せずでしたが
バギーはちゃんと上の部分があるので
そんなに濡れませんでした！

ただ、風が吹いていて寒かったので
タンクトップの上にパーカーを着たり、
脱いだりしました！
2024年４月上旬の情報なので
参考にしてください！

My friend really enjoyed it, so we decided to join the tour with transportation included. Since my friend came before the pandemic, it seems that some things have changed. We spoke with a guide who was wearing a badge from Japan and got an explanation, and we toured the center with the guided option. Thanks to the guide's arrangements, we were able to see almost everything in the park, and it was a fulfilling day. My friend said it was even better than the last time they visited, and we were able to have various experiences!

友達がとてもよかったのでもう一度行きたいとのことで送迎付きでツアー参加。
友達は、コロナ前のに来たので少し様子が変わってしまったようで日本のバッチをつけているガイドさんに声をかけて説明してもらい、ガイド付のオプションでセンター内を見学しました。ガイドさんのはからいで園内ほとんど廻れて充実した１日でよかったです。
友達も前回来たときよりも充実してたと言ってました、色々な体験もできました！

Loved the tour and was fun to see where all the movies were shot! Our guide was amazing! Would highly recommend going with your family! We only did the movie tour but there are a lot of other tours that seemed great!

While my child was playing alone, a local child came over and played together with them a lot! Although some areas closed due to the strong wind, the slides and kids' area were well-equipped, and there were about three staff members in each area, which made me feel safe.

子どもが1人で遊んでいたら、現地の子が声をかけてくれて、たくさん一緒に遊んでくれました！
風が強くて、途中からクローズしてしまった所もありましたが、滑り台もキッズエリアも充実していて、監視員さんが1エリアに3人くらいいて安心です。

My hubby and I took our 9 and 5 year old on this Sandbar trip. It was a short boat ride out & the kids never got motion sickness.

Tour guide was very thoughtful and had a bunch of water toys for everyone, we had canoes, SUP, volley ball and various water sports stuff to go around.

It took 3-3.5 hours which is just perfect and right when we got tired it was time to head back.

The band playing music was very good and this is a nod to the singer as he was clearly a talent and easy on the eyes

This trip was great!! Just enough tabs priced reasonably oh and bring your own snacks & booze!! That was cool they let us pack our own munchies!

We enjoyed the cruise very much very enjoyable nice weather

I participated around mid-March.

First of all, I found it most inconvenient that there was no pick-up service from the hotel in the Waikiki area. Since we were a group of ten, it would have been nice if they could have come to pick us up. The pick-up location was sent via SMS around 6 PM the day before, but it was written in a way like “◯◯ave. bus stop” instead of providing a map or address, which made it a bit unclear.

After getting off the bus and transferring to the boat, there were only orange juice and donuts available on board. I had seen photos and thought there might be muffins too, but it was just donuts!

When we arrived at the beach and entered the water, the water level was up to the shoulders of adults, so if you had small children, it was concerning to think about bringing smartphones or anything like that into the water. To top it off, we had two hours of free time, but the water temperature in mid-March was too low, and both adults and children were too cold, so we got out after just 40 minutes.

I don't think I will do this again!

3月中旬頃参加しました。

まず、ワイキキ地区のホテル泊でしたがホテルまでの送迎では無かった事が一番不便に感じました。
10人で利用したので、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれても良さそうですが…。
送迎場所も前日の18時頃SMSで来て、しかも地図や住所ではなく“◯◯ave.bus stop”みたいな書き方だったので少し分かりづらかったです。

バスを降りて船に乗り換えて、船の中にはオレンジジュースとドーナツだけありました。
写真を見ていたのでマフィンもあるのかな？と思っていましたが、ドーナツオンリーでした！

船が着いて海に入った時は、大人でも肩くらいまで浸かるような水位で小さな子ども連れの場合万が一の事を考えるとスマホなどは持って入れる余裕はありませんでした。
また極め付けは、2時間の自由時間がありましたが3月中旬の海は水温が低すぎて子どもも含め大人も寒すぎて40分で上がってしまいました。

次はやらないと思います！

I participated with six female friends in their 60s. On the moving boat, we all got excited with live performances and singing. During snorkeling, we were able to see schools of colorful fish up close, which was amazing. We also participated in activities like stand-up paddleboarding. The staff were very attentive during the activities, so even though it was my first experience, I had a fantastic time. Overall, I felt that all the staff were very welcoming to us participants.

60代の女友達6人で参加しました。移動の船内では、生演奏や歌で乗客みんなで盛り上がりました。シュノーケリングでは、色鮮やかな魚の群れが、本当に近くで見られて最高でした。サップなどのアクテビティにも参加しました。アクテビティでは、スタッフの方々がいろいろ気をつかってくれたので、初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しめました。とにかく、スタッフ全員が私たち参加者をもてなしてくれた気がしました。

The tour starts before 6 AM and you can return to the hotel around 10 AM. The guide was very kind, and I was satisfied. They took care of every detail, making it easy for first-timers to participate with peace of mind. When I was about to be swept away by the tide, they quickly pulled me back. The snack we had after coming out of the water was spicy and delicious. They also took a lot of photos!
However, the price is a bit high for Japanese people, and the additional tip is a burden. Considering the weak yen and the cost of living in Hawaii, it can't be helped. Next time, I will visit when the yen is stronger!

早朝6時前からのツァーで10時ごろホテルに帰れます。ガイドの方とても親切で満足です。細かいところまでお世話いただき初めての方でも安心して参加できます。潮に流されそうになったらすぐに手を引いて引き戻していただきました。海から上がった時にいただいたスナックがスパイシーで美味しかった。写真もたくさん撮っていただきました♪
しかし、日本人には値段がお高め、更にチップ必要なのは負担です。円安やハワイの物価を考えると仕方ないのですが。次回は円高の時に伺います笑

On March 22, my family and I participated. Dan was our guide. His Japanese was very good, and he made jokes that were funny, allowing us to enjoy our time during the trip. I felt that Dan really thought about how to make us happy and have a good time. Hanauma Bay was incredibly beautiful. It was a great memory to see the seals taking a nap. Thank you very much.

3月22日に家族で参加させて頂きました。
ダンさんにガイドして頂きました。日本語がとても上手で冗談も面白く移動中も楽しく過ごす事が
出来ました。ダンさんは、どうしたら喜んでくれるか、楽しんでくれるかを考えてくれる方だと感じました。
ハナウマ湾　凄い綺麗でした。お昼寝しているアザラシも見れて良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Excellent adventure with family!! Love the vibe and staff.

Mahalo!!!

This was such a fun excursion that my friends and I did in Hawaii! we all had so much fun and agreed it was the best thing we did our entire trip. They provide food and all the gear to snorkel or paddle board. The weather wasn’t the nicest when we went (cloudy) but we still had so much fun, and the staff was so nice!

It was a cool experience. We seen all kinds of fish, turtles, starfish and a shark. Definitely worth the experience the crew was great and knowledgeable. I would definitely go again

I decided to go whale watching at my father's request. After comparing several tours, I chose this one. The whale watching tours offer small, medium, and large boats, and I opted for the large boat this time due to concerns about seasickness. I wondered if I would get seasick, but I didn't at all. I was worried because the guide only spoke English, but even I, who don't understand English at all, was able to enjoy it! There were many whales, and I was moved to see more than I had imagined. The boat has four levels, and I enjoyed the different views from each floor. I also appreciated the shuttle service to the boat.

父の希望でホエールウォッチングに行くことに。
何個かのツアーと比較して、こちらに決定。
ホエールウォッチングのツアーには小型船、中型船、大型船とあり、こちらは大型船のツアー。
今回は船酔いを心配して大型にしました。
船酔いするかな？と思ったけど、全然そんなことありませんでした。
ガイドは英語のみなので心配しましたが、英語をまったく理解出来ない私でも楽しめました！
クジラもたくさん来ていて、想像以上にたくさんのクジラを見ることが出来て感動。
こちらの船は1階から4階まであって、それぞれの階で見たのですが、見え方が違ってそれも楽しめました。
船までの送迎があるのもありがたかったです。

Our family had an absolute blast on the UTV tour. Our guides were fantastic, the drive was exciting and the sites were amazing. We will definitely recommend this to others. This whole ranch is a must see if you are on Oahu.

We did the Raptor Tour and tremendously enjoyed it. The views are great! I was the only woman who drove raptor ATV in this group, there was no any problem and it was fun driving the mule. I highly recommend. It is expensive but worth it and will create a great memory.

I did parasailing, banana boating, and jet skiing.

For parasailing, we were transported to the dedicated boat on another boat! Once we were seated at the back of the boat with the parasailing equipment attached, the reel extended, and we soared into the sky! I didn't pay for the extra fee, so we went up to 90 meters, but it was more than enough to enjoy! Whether you get dropped into the sea when you return is up to luck! (laughs) There’s space on the edge of the boat to store your belongings, so you can bring towels and valuables without worry!

For banana boating, we moved from the parasailing boat to the floating boat. You can choose between a bumper tube and a banana boat! The banana boat is for groups. It can accommodate about 6 to 8 people, but there were handles for up to 12 people just in case.

For jet skiing, you can ride solo or with a partner, and you drive it yourself! They teach you how to ride at the beginning. There are four floats set up in a square, and we just kept going around and around them. During the 30 minutes, if you're on a two-person jet ski, you switch drivers at a separate float.

As for other personal concerns:
- There are lockers on the floating boat like those in schools, so there's always someone around, so no need to worry. If you're concerned, you can check your belongings right after returning.
If something gets stolen, there's no way to escape on the sea!
- There were staff members who could speak Japanese or at least communicate in broken Japanese!
- The only place to change is the restroom.
- There are no showers! You can rinse off with a large bucket on the floating boat.
- Depending on the season, a bath towel or cover-up is essential.
- Flip-flops are sufficient.
- I brought my smartphone in a waterproof case. It was okay to take photos in the air! Do so at your own risk!
- Tips are appreciated! There was some pressure to tip in visible areas! (laughs)
- We rented a car for transportation, so that might not be very helpful!
- There were always GoPros set up, and when we returned to the office, they showed us the photos and videos, and we could purchase what we wanted. By the way, we only bought the parasailing photos for about $57. (My husband got seasick during parasailing and gave up taking photos himself, so he was out of luck! lol)

I hope this information is helpful!

パラセーリング、バナナボート、ジェットスキーをしました

【パラセーリング】専用ボートまで別のボートで配送され乗り移りました！
パラ専用の器具が取り付けられ、ボートの後ろに座ると、リールが伸びて大空へ！
追加料金は払わなかったので90mでしたが、十分満喫できました！
戻って来た時海に落とされるか否かは運次第！笑
ボートの淵に荷物を仕舞い込めるスペースがあるので、タオル貴重品など持ち込んで大丈夫です！

【バナナボート】パラから配送ボートで浮き舟に移動しました。バンパーチューブと選択できます！バナナボートはグループ単位で乗ります。
6〜8人くらいまでなら？一応12人分取手はついてました。

【ジェットスキー】2人乗り1人乗り、どちらも自分で運転です！はじめに乗り方を教えてもらいます。
浮きが4個四角く設置されており、その周りをひたすらグルグル回り続けました。30分の間に2人乗りは、離れた浮きで運転手交代です。

【その他個人的心配だったこと】
・浮き舟の上には、学校の様なロッカーが設置させており、常に人の目があるから心配ないです。心配なら戻って直ぐ中身を確認してください。
何か取られても海の上なので逃げようがないですので！
・日本語が話せる又は片言で大丈夫なスタッフが常に居ました！
・着替える場所はトイレくらいです。
・シャワーも無いです！浮き舟に大きなバケツで掛け水できるくらいです
・季節によってはバスタオルや羽織ものは必須
・ビーサンくらいで十分です。
・スマホは濡れても大丈夫なケースにいれて行きました。上空でも撮影OKでした！自己責任で！
・チップは気持ち！見える場所に圧はありましたが！笑
・交通手段はレンタカーだったので、あまり参考になりませんね！
・常にGoproが設置されおり、事務所に戻ると写真と動画を見せてくれ、欲しい物を購入出来る様になってました。因みに我が家はパラの写真だけ購入$57くらいです。(旦那がパラで酔ってその後断念し自分で撮影してたのでw)

以上参考になれば幸いです！

買い物や食事よりもハワイらしい経験をしたくて、パラセーリングを申し込みましたが、間違いなく記憶に残る素晴らしい経験でした。
小型ボートだけど、ガンガン勢いのある船にのって10名くらいで、パラセーリングを楽しみました。
初めての経験だったのでメチャクチャ怖かったけど、スリル満点で、高校生と大学生の子どもたちは、笑いが止まらず、今回のハワイ旅で経験してよかった、と思います。
ただ、空港到着当日の夕方直接行ったのですが、これは、ハードスケジュールすぎたかも。翌日体にこたえました。船酔いの薬は飲んで参加してよかったです。
人生一度は挑戦してみる価値のある経験だとおまいます。非日常を味わえて、メチャ楽しかったです！

Overall, the experience was awesome! Tyson and the whole crew are wonderful, extremely kind, and helpful. The boat was clean, and I felt safe. The team went above and beyond to make the sandbar and snorkeling a blast!

The music from Kalani was great on the way out to the sandbar. He was so nice, making sure he was delivering the best Ohana. The sandbar was amazing, if it hadn’t been so windy it would have been the perfect day. My son didn’t hesitate to get out on the kayak and SUP. The fish were breathtaking in the reef. We will definitely be back. The staff were so amazing and so ready to help out with anything. We loved it as a family.

Sincerely,
The Murray Family

The weather was nice, and the scenery was very beautiful. There was no time to get bored while waiting for activities, as I could see exhibits, shops, and horses. However, since all the explanations were in English, I felt that I could have enjoyed it even more if I understood English, so I deducted one star for that. On the day of the visit, it was a good decision to bring a raincoat based on others' experiences. However, your face and hair will get covered in sand, so it's easier to participate with a simple hairstyle and no makeup.

天候もよくとてもいい景色でした。アクティビティの待ち時間も展示物やショップや馬が見れたりと一切退屈することもありませんでした。
ただすべて英語での説明だったので、英語が理解できたらきっともっと楽しめたのだろうなと思ったので、⭐︎一つ減らした点です。
当日は他の方の体験談をもとにレインコートを持って行って正解でした。ただ、顔と髪は砂まみれになるので、すっぴんでまとめ髪で参加した方が後が楽ですよ。

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but it cleared up after about two hours!
At first, it was cold, but I got used to it once I was in the sea.
I was glad to experience various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
I wanted to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
The staff were attentive, and they instructed us to return if we went too far, which made me feel safe while enjoying snorkeling.
There were only about four groups of Japanese people, but a few of them spoke broken Japanese, so we were able to communicate.
They also took photos for us, and I was very satisfied.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたが、2時間ほどで晴れてきました！
最初は寒かったのですが、海に入っていると慣れてきました。
シュノーケリングやサップなどいろいろ体験できてよかったです。
海亀に会いたかったですが、残念ながら会えなかったです。
スタップの方がしっかり見ており、遠くまで行きすぎるとスタッフがすぐに戻ってくるよう指示しており、安心してシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
日本人が4組ほどで少なかったのですが、日本語を片言で話してくださる方が何人かあり意思疎通が取れました。
写真も撮ってくれたり大満足です。

We had the most incredible time touring the Mighty Mo!! Really incredible to stand on a battleship where WWII came to an end. Saffron, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was so informative, interesting and kind. Could listen to her all day! We also met Alvin in the Aviation Museum and really enjoyed listening to him! We had toured the Arizona on our last visit to Hawaii and very much enjoyed that tour. Pearl Harbor is well organized and well worth the visit.

We had an amazing time! The weather was a tad chilly and windy but the crew was so kind and amazing!! 100% recommend! We are a family of 6 with teens and young children! All kids loved it ! So did we !! We were able to all paddle board, snorkel, and swim!

I didn't catch a lot, but it was still quite enjoyable! Unfortunately, my child got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is a must. If you understand a little bit of English, you'll have a great time. The staff were kind, and when I didn't understand English, they translated for me using their phone. They also prepared the fish right there, and it was delicious! I would love to go again if I have the chance.

いっぱい釣れなかったですが、そこそこ楽しかったです！
残念ながら子供が酔ってしまって、船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
英語がすこーしだけ分かれば十分楽しめます。
スタッフの方も親切で、こちらが英語がわからない場合、携帯で翻訳してくれました。
お魚もその場で捌いてくれて、美味しくいただきました！
また機会があれば行きたいです。

Wow should I start off with the most delicious authentic hawaiian food I have ever tried..My whole family cleaned their plate..Including the dessert was delicious..The show was amazing so worth the cost..The host keep us laughing

During the tour, we got off the car and took a walk to a scenic ridge. My 4-year-old grandchild was eager to climb up. It was the best opportunity to be active! The driver was also very kind and accommodating, which helped create wonderful memories.

ツアーの途中で車から降りて景色の良い尾根までの散策がありました。４歳の孫も張り切って登りました。活動できる場面は、最高！ドライバーさんも優しく対応をしてくださり、良い思い出ができました。

Experience was well handled and our guides made it wonderful. Was a fun excursion for our family of four with two children and grandma.
