All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It seems that sandbars appear depending on the season or time of day. When we went in late March during the day, it was just a regular shallow sea. There was live music on the cruise, which made us feel like we were in America! The activities were also fun. It seems essential to bring a jacket or a change of clothes, as it was quite cold.

サンドバーは時期？か時間帯により砂浜が現れるようです。
私たちが行った3月下旬の昼は普通に浅い海でした。
クルーズないで生演奏がありアメリカを感じられます！
アクティビティも楽しかったです。
上着や着替えは必須に思えます。
結構寒かったです。

We had an absolute great time out with them. The staff was amazing, safety top notch, nothing felt rushed. I would highly recommend this company for your Hawaii parasailing adventure. I had read some poor reviews but I would discount them after being onboard their boat.

Thank you for a great afternoon. My family enjoyed volleyball, and snorkeling. The lunch was great and the entertainment was too.

Actually, in the past, my son was too small for the buggy, and I lacked confidence in moving around smoothly in the morning, so I had been avoiding Kualoa for a long time... After much deliberation, I decided on the Raptor tour, even though horseback riding and just a movie tour sounded good too. Since I was only 18 and didn't have my license yet, my mother ended up driving.

For someone who is only 151 cm tall like me, it felt like I was driving on my tiptoes, but I managed to get through it! Along the way, they took funny photos and videos at various spots, making it feel like we were part of a movie scene, which was so much fun! I actually forgot my driver's license that day, but I had my photo, and that was okay. I was relieved—if I couldn't participate and had to cancel on the day without a full refund, that would have been terrifying. Everyone, please be careful not to forget!

They show a Japanese explanation video for Japanese guests. After a trial run, they said if everything was okay, we could go without help, but there was actually no such thing, and we went straight to the main event. However, there were three staff members with us, so I think they would have switched if we needed help.

We woke up at 4:30 AM in Waikiki and took a bus around 5:00 AM, but there was a slight delay. We made it in plenty of time, but we came early in the morning and planned to eat garlic shrimp in Kahuku on the way back. If we had more energy, we thought about making more stops on the way back, so we opted for no round-trip shuttle. Depending on the combination of activities, I think you can have a full day of fun!

実は以前は息子が小さ過ぎてバギーが出来なくて、朝起き、移動もなかなか上手く出来る自信が無くて、ずっと敬遠してきたクアロアでした…馬もいいし、ただの映画ツアーでもいいしと悩んだ末にラプターにしました♪
まだ、18歳で免許取れてなかったので、結局運転は母でしたが。
151しかない私にはかなりの爪先運転に近かったんですが、何とかクリア出来ました！
途中いろんな所で、面白おかしく写真や動画を撮影してくれて、映画のワンシーンに参加してるみたいで、凄く楽しかった！
実は車の免許を当日忘れて、写真だけあったんですが、それでOKでした。
助かった～これで参加出来なくて、当日キャンセルで全額返金されなかったらゾッとします。皆さん、お忘れ無き様、お気を付け下さい！

日本人には日本語の説明ビデオを見せてくれます。
お試し走行して、大丈夫なら、ヘルプなしでGOとの説明でしたが、全然そんなの無しで、本番へGOでしたが、スタッフは3名付いてましたので、ヘルプ出せば代わってくれたとは思います♪

ワイキキ4:30起きして、5:00発位のバスで来ましたが、やはり、少し遅延がありました。充分間に合いましたが、私達は朝一に来て、帰りはカフクでガーリックシュリンプ食べて、もっと元気なら、もっと寄り道して帰りたいと考えたので、往復送迎無しにしました。
組合せ次第では１日楽しめるのではないかと思います♪

I participated with my son, who just graduated from high school. Last year, we actually came to Hawaii during spring break, but I wasn't really feeling it, so we didn't participate. This year was a chance for revenge! It was my first time going out to the sea at Waikiki by boat, and I was moved by the sight of the buildings on Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. However, at 150 meters, considering that the Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure is 59 meters and the Hollywood Dream – The Ride at Universal Studios Japan is 43 meters, I felt like I needed to look down less until I got used to it... It was a bit scary after all. Once I started feeling good, it was okay to look at how high we were.

Actually, one of the girls in a group of about six fainted at first, and I thought she was just joking around after drinking too much the night before, but it seemed she was really not feeling well. The co-captain splashed water on her to wake her up and handled the situation properly. The captain decided to return to the port, and they rescheduled for the next time. Since she was able to get down on her own, it turned out okay, and I was glad that her friends were there with her; everyone was kind and wonderful!

Afterwards, it was just my son and I, along with an anniversary senior couple and a lively senior female friend. Since the number of people had decreased, I felt like we were up there for not just five minutes, but maybe even ten. This is just my perception, though. I was quite prepared to be plunged into the seawater, but it was just my butt and feet that got wet, and they quickly lowered us back to the starting point at the back of the boat, so I felt very safe and enjoyed it!

If I come to Hawaii again, I would recommend it to my friends and family and want to participate together! The photos from this precious experience were saved to an SD card since we used an Android smartphone, and it cost $30! With an iPhone, they transferred them directly to the phone. Even though we hardly speak any English, it was fine to be in an English-only environment! They also showed us explanations in Japanese.

The check-in and departure locations were detailed in an email with photos sent on the morning of the day, but since we headed to the site without looking, we got a bit lost because Google Maps pointed to a slightly different location. However, I think you can easily find it because there’s a big white van with the tour company’s sign parked there!

高校卒業した息子と二人で参加させて頂きました。去年も実は春休みHawaiiに来ていましたが、イマイチ乗り気になれず、参加しませんで、今年はリベンジでした！初めて、船でワイキキの海に出て、ワイキキビーチの建物やダイアモンドベッドを眺めるのも感動しましたが、150mって、シーのタワー・オブ・テラーで59m,USJのハリウッド・ドリーム・ザ・ライドで43mだから、もっと上からよ～慣れるまでは下は向いちゃいけません…やっぱり、ちょっと怖くなったよ。気持ち良くなってきたら、どれくらい上がってるか見てもいいよって感じでした。
実は先に6名位のお姉さん達グループの１人が気を失ってしまい、最初は昨夜飲み過ぎてふざけてんのかと思ってたんだけど、本気で調子が悪かった様で副キャプテンは水を掛けて、気付かせ、キチンと対処してました。
キャプテン判断で、一度港に戻り、次回に予約も振り替えて上げて、自力で降りて居たから何とか良かったけど、周りのお友達も一緒で良かったし、皆優しくて素晴らしかった！
後に残された私達親子とアニバーサリーのシニアご夫婦と元気なシニア女子友となり、人数も少なくなったからか、5分どころか10分位は上げててくれたんじゃないかと。あくまで体感ですが。
かなり、海水にドボンとなるのかと覚悟してましたが、お尻と足が濡れる程度で、すぐに船の後ろの出発地点に降ろしてくれるので、とても安心して楽しめました❗
また、Hawaiiに来たら、友達にも家族にもオススメして、一緒に参加したいです♪
貴重な体験時のお写真は私達はAndroidスマホだったので、SDカードに落としてくれて、＄30でした！
iphoneだとそのままスマホに転送してくれてました♪
英語は殆ど喋れない私達でも、英語オンリーでも大丈夫でしたよ♪
日本語の説明を見せてくれたし。
チェックイン場所と出航場所は当日朝のメール案内に詳しく写真入りで来てましたが、見ずに現地に向かってしまった私達はGoogle地図ではちょっと違う場所を差すので迷いましたが、ツアー会社の白い大きなサイン入りバンが停まって居るので、すぐにわかると思います♪

I was lucky enough to encounter sea turtles twice. There were also many small fish, and it felt like swimming in an aquarium; it was simply the best. The sea was cold in some areas, and the rocks were rough, so it seemed better to rent a wetsuit. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

運良く2回もウミガメに出会うことができました。小魚もたくさんいて水族館を泳いでるような感覚でとにかく最高でした。
海は所々冷たく、岩もゴツゴツしているため、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良さそうでした。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

It was tough having to swim closely together with 9 participants. While snorkeling, we had to keep an eye on the guide's position, and it became difficult to swim when everyone was too clustered. I thought it would have been nice to swim a bit more freely.

参加者9人て固まって泳がなくてはいけないのはたいへんでした。シュノーケリングしながら、ガイドさんの位置を確認しなくてはならないし、9人が固まりすぎると泳ぎにくい。もう少し、自由に泳げたら良かったかなと思いました。

We really enjoyed this laid back and super fun evening. Right after we set sail we saw an enormous sea turtle and several surfers who were fun to watch. Then we enjoyed a couple cocktails made by the crew which were great! Something for everyone including mock tails. We left the kids with family while we’re gone for just over 2 hrs, but school aged and pre-teens would probably really enjoy it as well. (The teens on-board all seemed thoroughly bored lol). We started heading back and a few minutes before sunset we stopped to watch the spectacular colors and views. That alone was completely worth it- it was so beautiful. Highly recommend and completely worth it!

This was such an awesome experience, everything was so beautiful, and the ride was super fun. I wish I could remember their names, because the two ladies that led our tour were the best. They were really knowledgeable telling us all sorts of cool stuff about the area in a way that was engaging and fun. They made personal connections with each family which was really appreciated by everyone. They were bouncing from family to family helping take pictures, answering questions, and chatting with us all. I asked one of them a question about this weird looking “rock” I found and she took me off to the side to show me it was actually a nut shell. She took me to see the tree it came from, told me what it was used for, how it tasted, and she even dug around in the brush to find one on the ground so I could see what they looked like before it was cracked open. It sounds silly, but it was really nice that she took the extra time with just me to show me something I was interest in. 10/10 experience, we would totally go back. One of them even had a little dinosaur puppet that she pulled out to use to take pictures for people so it looked like the dinosaur was real and trying to attack us. It was so much fun. This really is a must do event if you’re visiting this island.

Really enjoyed our Morning out. The crew and Captain made the trip so much better. Honestly, their energy was off the charts, the music was good, enjoyable for all ages (we went as a couple in our mid 20’s and loved it, there were children loving it and parents older than us that were having a blast!)

I’d recommend the photo package, we didn’t get it but looking back and seeing how many pictures Tom took is outstanding. It’s the only photo package I’ve seen so far that guarantees 300 real photos of you minimum.

We’ve done a lot of trips on this holiday and this was probably the best crew I’ve seen. Can’t rate them high enough. Wish I could remember all their names but I can’t. Either way, amazing team to have.

My kids and I had a awesome time. The staff was really nice and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The place is amazing. I highly recommend this outing. We enjoyed the banana boat ride and the bumper ride. The water was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed a lot.

Great food, and wonderful service by Danny! The Polynesian show was incredible. The ship was beautiful and easy to access all levels.
It was a very beautiful evening, watching the sunset as we cruised Waikiki. Great transportation!

I’m so glad we booked this excursion during our 2 day whirlwind tour of Oahu. We have a friend that’s on the island so we came over from vacationing on Maui to visit. Check in was super easy. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew was amazing. Loved the live music on the journey to and from the sandbar. Once we arrived, there was a little something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking, hanging out on a floating platform or snorkeling! They even had inner-tubing and banana boat rides for an extra fee. The views of the island were stunning. Trip lasted roughly 3 hours so plenty of time to still explore the island after. Shout out to Preston and Jesse for all the aloha and good vibes. It was a super fun trip and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. It’s a really great excursion.

We had a great time with Kualoa Ranch Experience - Jurassic Valley Movie Tour. Our guide was outstanding and she provided us with many interesting facts. Highly recommended!

The ATV ride was awesome. Our tour was the last of the day. The tour guides were great; funny and informational. They also help with photos. The stops were pretty cool. I only wish we would have stopped at the bone field and the wall from JW. We would definitely do one of the other tours.

Although it wasn't guaranteed that we would see dolphins, we were able to see many of them. The boat was comfortable, and the staff really got everyone excited, making for a very enjoyable day. The early morning gathering was a bit challenging, but it made the day feel longer, which was very fulfilling. I also had the experience of seeing the great nature of the land from the boat, which was an excellent experience. Although the snorkeling time was a bit short, we were able to see a sea turtle and many fish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

イルカを見れることが確定ではないのにも関わらず沢山のイルカを見ることができました。船の中も快適でスタッフさんたちが沢山盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しい一日を過ごすことができました。朝の集合が早かったですがその代わり一日が長く感じることが出来たので充実感に圧倒されました。陸の大自然を船から見ることができる経験も出来たので非常に良い体験をすることができました。シュノーケリングは少し時間は短いもののウミガメを無事見ることもでき、沢山の魚を見れました。非常に楽しかったです。ありがとうございます

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.

The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

Everything in the title and description is not only accurate, but does not disappoint! Festive and fun the whole time... beautiful setting with the smaller islands and mountains surroundings, standing a mile off shore in the middle of the bay. Nice touch having the floating lounge, and thoughtful idea providing fish treats for snorkeling(!) The music Jessie and crew played on board, and DJ-ed during activities was awesome--so much fun dancing with the fish! We only wish could have had more than one go of the banana boat and bumper tube. Worth doing more than once on a trip here, definetly--almost tried walking in backward when we were leaving

My husband and I took our family to Hawaii for spring break. We always at the kids do something different. I thought they might be hesitant, but they tried The banana boat and the bumper boat and loved it, probably one of the most fun things they did on this trip. The only thing I would say I was disappointed about this excursion was that the description said they will provide soda or coke with lunch but we got lemonade instead. The bathroom on the boat also needs to be restocked before taking the next ride out. There were no soaps or hand sanitizer to use. Besides this, we had such a fun time.

I participated in a four-wheel buggy tour at Kualoa, thinking of the memories in Hawaii during my grandson's spring break. The weather was unpredictable, and while I was hoping for the typical sunny Hawaiian skies and blue ocean, it was occasionally rainy. However, we drove through rough mountain roads and took photos at movie filming locations while enjoying the wonderful scenery, and before I knew it, two hours had passed. It was a very satisfying day. I want to go again!

孫の春休みにハワイの思い出と思い、クアロアの四輪バギーに参加しました
天気が変わりやすくて、ハワイらしい晴天で青い海が見えることを期待していたのですが、たまに雨の降る空模様
でも山の悪路を走ったり、素晴らしい景色を見ながら映画ロケ地で写真撮影をしたりで、あっという間に2時間が過ぎました
大満足な1日でした
また行きたいです

I'm satisfied. There are various things like only being able to go for food once, seating being strictly first-come, first-served, and long waits for taking photos, but if your budget allows, it's definitely worth it.

満足です。料理が一回しか取りに行けないとか、席が厳密には早いもん勝ちなので並ぶとか、写真撮影が長いとか色々あるものの、お金さえ許せば鉄板です

I think this is an activity unique to Hawaii. It's a bit expensive, but I'm very satisfied with the experience. It's interesting to take a boat to the submarine station and switch there. While waiting to board, you can enjoy the beach in front of the Hilton.

多分ハワイならではのアクティビティと思います。じゃっかん高いですが、内容的には大満足。船で潜水艦乗り場まで行って乗り換えるのもおもしろい。乗るのに待つ間にヒルトン前のビーチで遊べます。

The boat itself is fun. You can see the whale's tail. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand the English commentary. There is no seasickness. You can also order drinks. I think it's a good value for the price.

船自体楽しい。鯨の尻尾がみれます。英語の解説がわからなくても楽しめると思います。船酔いはないです。ドリンクも注文できます。コスパいいと思います

Really great event, organized and well directed from start to finish with yummy food as well.

The Stargazing activity was fun and educational.

This was my third visit to Hawaii but my first time in Ko Olina. Our stargazing took place on the top level of The Four Seasons Tennis Court.

My girlfriend's daughter enjoys astronomy and she was excited every opportunity to see through the telescope.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. I highly recommend this experience.

I had great time. Staff was real friendly and fun! I would definitely recommend this place.

This trip was great and a great value for the price. The staff was amazing and everyone in our party had so much fun at the sandbar playing with all the water toys.

And the musicians were really good and we had fun singing along and dancing. I would definitely do this trip again and will recommend to everyone we know. Thanks for a great afternoon.

We would like to spend more time at snorkeling sessions and not 45 mins. We still have to wait people to get down into the water.

I thought it would be a bit cold, but with excitement in my heart, I dove into the sea. I was moved by the emerald green scenery. After enjoying a delicious hamburger, it was time for snorkeling! I tried fins for the first time, and while the corals and colorful fish were pleasant, the surprise and thrill of seeing a huge sea turtle emerge from behind the corals made me really glad I participated.

少し寒いかと思いきや　ワクワクな気持ちで　海にダイブ
エメラルドグリーンの風景に感動です。
美味しいハンバーガー食べて　次は　シュノーケリング❗️
はじめて　フィンに挑戦　サンゴやカラフルな魚も心地よかったけれど　サンゴの陰から　デカい！ウミガメが出てきたときの驚きと　感動は　参加してよかったです。

Lots of fun! Went at the end of March and saw some whale activity which was exciting. Service was FANTASTIC!! Everybody was really warm, friendly and engaging. 10/10 would recommend.
