All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Wonderful, my family was very happy and excited, an unforgettable experience

The experience was great. The crew and the live music were great. We love all of the availability of the water sports- paddle boats, kayaks, snorkeling, lounging on the barge. The lunch was served right away so we were on a full stomach and it gave a chance for any late strivers to come on board.

Overall just a beautiful experience. The crew was super friendly, and super helpful with first time paddle boarders, snorkeling, and Kayak-ing people . The floating deck was awesome! I have been on a few other afternoon water excursions, by far this was the best one! Croissant sandwich was tasty and brought my own drinks! My kids are teenagers and they Also had a blast with all the activities ! This Trip was perfect for the entire family.. you won’t regret it.

Everything was great. We saw turtles and enjoyed the reef. It was a little difficult to eat lunch on the boat as there were not really any good seats for it. But the burgers were delicious.

Great service and hospitality. This is well worth your time and money.

It was a long and tiring day, but it was absolutely worth it. There is so much history. Most people know about the USS Arizona Memorial, but there is so much more. The submarine Bowfin, battleship Missouri and the Aviation museum. With the short movies and museums at each attraction there is so much to see and do it takes a full day. Our 9 yo boy absolutely loved it. He never complained once. His favorite part was exploring the Missouri. I highly recommend this tour.

Very nice experience, beautiful landscapes, your mind flies with so much nature and seeing the places where you saw a movie, wow! Spectacular experience, I recommend it

It was the tour I was looking forward to the most, and the weather was great, making it the best day ever!! It felt like heaven, and I was so happy!! Snorkeling and swimming with the fish was a wonderful experience!

一番楽しみにしてたツアーで天気もよくて最高な一日でした！！天国って感じで幸せでした！！
シュノーケリングで魚とも泳げていい経験でした！

The parking lot was quite crowded, but it was understandable since it was the earliest optional tour in the morning. In the past, you could go freely, but now there are strict regulations regarding reservations and waiting times. However, it was very smooth since we could go through the tour company. After watching the orienteering video and stepping outside, we saw a rainbow. The guide during snorkeling was also very good, and we were able to see various fish. It would be quite difficult to go individually, so I highly recommend this tour.

駐車場は結構混んでいましたでも　朝が1番早いオプショナルツアーでしたが納得でした　昔はフリーで行けたのに今は予約やら順番待ちやら規制がとても厳しい　でもツアー会社の枠で行けるのでとてもスムーズでした　オリエンテーリングのビデオを見て外へ出たら虹が出ていました　シュノーケリング時ガイドもとても良く色々な魚を見ることが出来ました　個人で行こうとすると大変なのでとてもお勧めのツアーです

○Positive Points
- The view was absolutely stunning! I often saw paragliders from the beach, and I thought the starting point was nearby, but it was actually further out than I expected. There were 5-6 groups on the same small boat, and it felt great to be out in the wind and waves!
- It was a windy day, so we started an hour later than our reservation. They checked if it was okay to leave late and confirmed that we didn't have a dinner reservation, which allowed for the time change!
- There are many points to note below, but it was so much fun! I felt like a bird and would love to go again, so if you're interested, definitely give it a try!

●Points to Note
- Everything is basically in English, so be prepared for that... (For those taking photos, there were some people who spoke simple Japanese on the boat.)
- I experienced more seasickness than I expected, and the wind during paragliding can make it worse, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take medication just in case. I felt a bit nauseous while paragliding...
- Be careful about the meeting place! There's a large parking lot between the sea and the pool next to the hotel. The reception is in a small hut along the seaside within that parking lot, but it was hard to find... (I'll upload a photo of the reception hut, so please take a look.)
- If you have a GoPro or something similar, it might be good to bring it. Taking photos with a smartphone can be risky if you drop it, and it’s hard to take it out of your pocket to shoot without feeling nervous.

○良かった点
・とにかく絶景！ビーチからよくパラセイリングをしているのを見えていたので、近場かと思ったら、思ったより沖でのスタート。同じ船に5〜6組乗っていて、小型船ですので、風や波を受けとても気持ち良かったです！
・風の強い日で、予約より1時間遅い時間でのスタートとなりました。その中で遅れて出発でもOKか、ディナーの予約はしてないか確認してくれての時間変更になりました！
・下記注意点たくさんありますが、、とっても楽しかったです！鳥になったようなまた行きたいので、興味ある方はぜひ！


●注意点
・基本全て英語なのでちょっと覚悟が必要・・・（写真撮影の方、船の中でのコミュニケーションは簡単な日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃいました）
・思った以上に船酔い、パラセーリングでも風で煽られるので、酔い止めが気になる方は迷ったら飲んだ方が正解です。ちょっとパラセイリングの上空で気持ち悪くなりました・・・
・集合場所は要注意！海とホテル横のプールと挟まれたところに大きな駐車場があります。その駐車場の中、海沿いの小さな小屋が受付ですが、全く分からず・・・（受付の小屋は写真アップしておきますので、ご覧ください。）
・Go Proとかあれば持っていくと良いかもしれません。スマホ撮影は落としたら・・・とか勇気がないとポケットから出して撮影は考えずらいです。。

Had an amazing time at Kualoa! The ATV experience was awesome, the crew was amazing, very informative & humorous, would definitely recommend! Side note: it does get VERY dusty so dont wear white or schedule anything after this. We had to go back to our hotel to shower and get a change of clothes. Besides that, 10/10!

We had super time snorkeling at Huanama Bay.
Dan is excellent trainer, very helpful and supportive. He made sure we had a great time. Took lot of pictures and shared with us. This will be life time memories.
I will advise who wants to do snorkeling do it with Dan. Blue Divers

Most of the participants were from overseas, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, and they kindly taught us various things. I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It's essential to change clothes as your body gets cold.

参加者は海外の方がほとんどでしたが、日本語を日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、色々親切に教えて頂きました。
安心して楽しめました。体が冷えるので着替えはマストです。

ジャングルツアーは、木の実を食べたり登山をしたり
90分間で沢山の体験をして物凄く楽しめました。
悪路をトラックで走行するのはスリルがありました。
スタッフもナイスな人でとても楽しめました。

Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo

It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.

This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!

One of the best tour. You would have lot of fun driving these ATVs in the Jurassic park.

I was able to enjoy various activities freely within the time limit. There were few Japanese customers and staff, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so it wasn't a problem. However, I felt that the free time was quite long.

いろんなアクティビティを時間内に自由に遊ぶことができました。日本人のお客さん、スタッフは少なかったですが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので問題なかったです。ただ自由時間が結構長かったかなという印象です。

The view while ascending was very beautiful.
During the descent, the wind blew strongly, causing a loss of balance and I fell into the sea.
I was wearing a life jacket, so I didn't drown.
I think the probability of falling is low, but I believe it's wise to be cautious on windy days or when there is a significant weight difference between two people.

上がっている時の景色はとても綺麗でした。
降下している最中に、風が強く吹いてバランスが取れなくなり海に落下しました。
ライフジャケットを着ていたので溺れませんでした。
落ちる確率は低いと思いますが、風が強い日や、2人の体重差がある場合などは気をつけた方が良いと思いました。

First of all, it was great that a Japanese staff member assisted us upon arrival, making everything easy to understand. After that, it was all in English, but we managed somehow despite the language barrier. Riding the four-wheeled buggy was a thrilling and exciting experience, like an attraction at a theme park! The instructions mentioned that long pants were required, but in reality, most people were wearing shorts. Anyway, the dust was incredible, so our clothes got dirty. We spent two hours enjoying beautiful scenery and navigating bumpy roads while having a blast, and I was very satisfied!

まず、現地到着時は日本人スタッフの方が対応していただけたのでわかりやすくて良かったです。後は英語のみですが　わからないなりになんとかなりました。四輪バギーはテーマパークのアトラクションのようにスリルあってエキサイティングな経験でした！注意事項で長ズボン必須とありましたが　実際はみんな半パンがほとんどでした。とにかく砂ぼこりがすごいので服は汚れます。2時間　キレイな景色を見たり　デコボコ道をギャーギャー言いながら進んで行き　大満足でした！

Parasailing itself was very enjoyable! However, since there were about 10 people on the shared boat and we took turns flying in groups of 2 to 3, you have to wait on a rather rocky boat while others are parasailing. I got quite seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリング自体はとても楽しかったです！
ただ、10人程度の乗合船で、2〜3人ずつ順番に飛ぶため、他の人のパラセーリング中は結構揺れる船で待機することになります。
かなり船酔いするので、酔い止めは必須です

First timers here! Crew is VERY organized and well experienced! From the moment we checked in t thru departing the crew handled customers with so much respect. .
Live band with GREAT, the funnies were actually funny and the activities were super fun! So happy to have experienced those with my family.

Would definitely pick this company again if I return to vacation in Hawaii.

I couldn't make a reservation until the last minute, but they were very kind and responded quickly. It was great since I wouldn't have been able to go on my own!
The waves were huge due to high tide, and I got swept away by the waves several times. Although the water wasn't clear, thanks to the high tide, I was able to see sea turtles!
I also saw a lot of fish, which was nice.
Since the water can be cold, those who are sensitive to the cold might want to wear a wetsuit.

予約開始ははギリギリでないとできなかったのですが、早めに対応して下さりとても親切でした。個人ではなかなか行けないので良かったです！
満ち潮のときだったのですごい波で、何度も波に流されました。透き通った海ではなかったのですが、満ち潮のおかげでウミガメが見れました！
魚もたくさん見れてよかっです。
体温を奪われるので、寒がりの方はウエットスーツがある方がいいかもです。

The weather was great, with a blue sea and blue sky, and I had so much fun! I felt like a bird. I flew high, but I wasn't scared at all. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster and was a bit scary. If you're not good with that, it's better to sit at the front. The meeting point is hard to find, so it's best to arrive early.

天気がよく青い海に青い空ですごく楽しかったです！鳥になった気分でした。
高く飛ぶけど全く怖くなかったです。
ボートでの移動がジェットコースターみたいで怖かったです。苦手な方は前に乗る方がいいです。
集合場所が分かりにくいので、早めに行く方がいいです。

1. The meeting place is a small building, so it can be easy to miss, but it's located right in the parking lot!
2. The reception staff, drivers, and photographers are all locals, but everything worked out fine! The atmosphere is very homey, so you can enjoy it in a relaxed way!
3. Even if you arrive on time, you will have to wait about 30 to 40 minutes because the departure won't happen without the parasailing board.
4. If you have a GoPro, the local drivers are quite enthusiastic and you might end up being dunked into the water while floating in the air, so it's best to check if it's waterproof. Also, you can get photos taken for $40, but if you have a GoPro, you probably won't need it!

It might be better to avoid taking selfies with your phone on a selfie stick, as there's a chance your phone could fall. It gets quite bumpy.

5. While waiting for your turn for parasailing or after finishing, the driving can be quite wild, so be careful of seasickness.

As a reference, I saw some people giving tips of $5 or $10 to the drivers, but only about 2 out of 10 people did so.

参加する方は、
1、集合場所が小さい建物なので見逃しやすいですが、駐車場の中にぽつんとあります！
2、受付の人、運転手、カメラマン全て現地の人ですがどうにかなりました！雰囲気はアットホームなので、ノリで楽しめます！
3、集合時間に間に合っても、パラセーリングするためのボードがないと出発しないので、集合時間から30〜40分待たされます。
4、GoProお持ちの方は、向こうの運転手のサービス精神で空に浮いている状態から水の中に突っ込まれると思うので、防水確認した方がいいです。また40ドルで写真撮ってもらえますが、GoProある方は、いらないと思います！

携帯を自撮り棒で撮るのは、携帯落ちる可能性があるので控えた方がいいかもしれません。
結構振り回されます。

5、パラセーリングの順番待ってる時・また終えて待っている時、めちゃくちゃ運転がワイルドなので船酔いに気をつけてください。

参考までにチップは、運転手に5ドルか10ドル渡してる方いましたが、10人中2人ぐらい渡してました。

We had the best time on our jungle tour . Our tour guide was outstanding . Funny, informative and we were captivated from the moment we sat in the seats and took off , until we returned back to where we started. It was the highlight of our tour experience. I would give this tour an outstanding rating!
Unfortunately the next tour was a huge disappointment, the movie tour.
While it was interesting seeing the cardboard signs where all the movies took place, there were little if no remaining evidences that any movie ever were filmed there. That was my mistake as the driver explained that all props must be removed.
Our driver mentioned immediately that he had “ deadpan humor” which sorely missed the mark. While he was knowledgeable and his information was interesting, his style of presentation was filled with unnecessary repetitive words “Also here within here collectively also here “ . My suggestion would be to work on simplifying the dialogue to keep the.audience engaged. Sadly, we decided to leave after the tour missing the last tour we had paid for.

At first, I was scared, but seeing Waikiki from the ocean, I was moved by the vast sea. The view was amazing. The staff were also very friendly and approachable, which I appreciated.

最初は怖かったですが、海から見るワイキキ、広大な海に感動しました。最高の眺めでした。
スタッフの方もとても気さくに接して頂き、ありがたかったです。

For those participating in this tour:

1. As you will get covered in sand, it's recommended to wear all black clothes or clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
2. Using a locker is not mandatory for this tour, but it's definitely better to use one. (The locker fee is $5, payable in cash or credit. You can access it multiple times!) Your belongings will also get sandy. I think it's fine to have just one phone among your group!
3. Since you'll be covered in sand, your face will also be quite dirty, so it would be great to have a makeup pouch (makeup remover wipes would be ideal).
4. After participating in this tour, I had a hamburger at a café, and since it's American-sized, I recommend sharing one between two people!

If you keep these three points in mind, I believe you'll have a fun tour! As for safety, you can feel secure watching the Japanese video. The local guides will speak in English, but you might be able to understand the atmosphere!

Regarding tips, it's not mandatory for this tour or others. When I participated, there were six groups, but only two or three gave tips!

このツアー参加する方は、
1、服装は、全身砂まみれになるので、真っ黒な服や汚れてもいい服・靴がおすすめです。
2、ロッカー預かりに関しては、このツアー必須ではありません。が、絶対に預けたほうがいいです。(ロッカー代5ドルは、現金・クレジット支払いできます。取り出し何度もできます！)
荷物も砂まみれになります。携帯も砂まみれになるので、誰か一台あればいいと思います！
3、砂まみれになるので、顔も砂でひどいので、
メイクポーチ(メイク落としシートとかあれば最高)もあるといいと思います。
4、このツアー参加した後、カフェでハンバーガーを食べたのですが、アメリカンサイズなので2人で一つがおすすめです！

この３点に気をつけて参加して頂ければ
きっと楽しいツアーだと思います！
安全面に関しては、日本語動画を視聴するので安心してください！あとは現地の方の英語トークですが、雰囲気でわかるかもしれません笑

このツアーも他のツアーもそうでしたが、
チップに関しては必須ではありません。
私が参加した際6組いましたが、チップを渡した方は、2？3組？でした！

I like this activity a lot because the team is nice. They play music and sing songs which makes the vibe very enjoyable. Activities included snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and beach volley.
