All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We had such a good time at the sandbar.The staff and musicians were great. Very profesional and attentive to everyone's needs. Would highly recommend to all. A great time to be had

I went parasailing, rode the bumper tube, and took a banana boat ride.

Since it was our honeymoon, they made jokes to help us relax and explained things in a mix of Japanese, which allowed us to enjoy everything without any worries. They took videos and photos during all the attractions, so it was a bit pricey, but I ended up purchasing everything as a keepsake. I would love to use their services again when I go to Hawaii!

パラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートに乗りました。

ハネムーンだったので、ジョークを言ってくれてリラックス出来たり、日本語を交えて説明してくれたので、不安なく楽しむことができました。全てのアトラクションでムービーや写真を撮ってくれるので、少しお高いですが記念に全部購入しちゃいました(^^)
またハワイに行った時には利用したいです(^^)

The hike was VERY muddy! Not so much of the mud being a nuisance, as much as the slippery parts. Then cooling off with downhill bike ride with scenic views of Waikiki and Honolulu, even Pearl city. We enjoyed our time.

It might be good as a cruising experience, but I was disappointed because I had high expectations for whale watching during this season.

クルージングとしてはいいのだろうけど、この時期のホエールウォッチングとしては期待してただけにガッカリでした。

We really enjoyed our time on the tour it was very well presented.

Great experience! Had so much fun, the sites were breathtaking and the guides were knowledgeable and funny! Definitely a once in a life time experience.

What scared my son was until we took off! (Until then, he kept complaining about me making the reservation. Haha) But the staff was amazing!! Honestly, there was no time to be scared. Haha We were given instructions one after another, and before we knew it, the first group was flying away. We were in the third group. Since we were watching everyone else, we were fully prepared! I wasn't scared at all. I enjoyed the scenery♪ The flight is only a few minutes long, so it's very short, but the round trip by boat is also fun! It would be good to have a camera or video with an easy-to-hold grip that you just need to hold on to. I used my phone, so it was a bit complicated and difficult (laughs). Anyway, it was so much fun that I definitely want to make a reservation when I go to Hawaii! *It was canceled twice due to strong winds. I really felt that they prioritize safety. Both Veltra and the operating company responded promptly, and since it was a cancellation due to the weather right before, the reservation change was free!

息子も怖かったのは、飛び立つまで！
（それまで散々、予約した私に恨み言を。笑）
でも、スタッフが最高！！
正直、怖がる暇が無い。笑
次々指示されて、気付いたら最初の組が飛んでいきます。
私達は、３組目。
みんなの様子も見ていたので、準備万端！
全く怖さは無かったです。
景色を楽しめました♪
飛ぶのは数分なので、とても短いですが、ボートでの往復も楽しい！
操作が容易で握っておくだけの持ち手を付けたカメラかビデオを持っておくと良さそう。私は携帯だったので、操作がややこしく大変でした（笑）
兎に角、楽しいので、ハワイに行ったら必ず予約したいです！
※強風で２回キャンセルになりました。それだけ安全に配慮されていると実感。ベルトラも実施会社もこまめに対応してくれて、直前の天候によるキャンセルでしたので、予約変更も無料でした！

After getting off the bus, there was a gathering and an explanation. The meeting time and location for the activities were all explained in English. If you were anxious about not understanding English, a Japanese staff member came to explain. The buggy ride lasted for two hours, and there were explanations at key points, but they were in English. It seemed like there were some jokes in the explanations, as those who understood English were laughing and having a great time. Even if you don't understand English, it was still very enjoyable, and the scenery was magnificent, giving me a lot of energy. There was a lot of dust, so it would be a good idea to bring a change of clothes, as you will get covered in sand. Your face will also get quite dirty, but there are no showers; only a water tap and soap are provided. I felt it was worth going because I had a really fun time. The staff were also cheerful and kind.

バスを降り集合し説明があります。 アクティビティの集合時間や場所など全て英語で説明されます。英語が理解出来ず不安になっていたら日本人スタッフがきて説明してくれました。バギーは2時間で要所 要所でバギーを降りて説明がありますが英語です。ジョークまじりの説明だったのか英語が分かる方たちはとても楽しそうに笑っていました。英語が分からなくても十分楽しく景色も壮大でパワーをもらえました。かなりの砂埃で全身砂まみれになり洋服は着替えをもっていった方が良さそうです。顔も真っ黒になりますがシャワーとかはなく水道と石鹸が置いてあります。凄く楽しい時間を過ごせたので行って良かったと思いました。スタッフも明るく親切です。

If you're looking to go parasailing near Honolulu, this is the place to choose. It's conveniently close to Ala Moana Center, and the height is amazing! You can fly with Diamond Head in the background! It's best to add the photo option! The staff is super friendly. If you ask for "Meni Water," it makes it even more fun!

Definitely!

ホノルル近郊でパラセーリングするならココ一択です。アラモアナセンターにも近くて便利、高さもスゴイ！ダイアモンドヘッドバックに飛べます！写真のオプションはつけるのがベスト！スタッフもめちゃくちゃフレンドリーです。メニーウォータ〜とお願いすると、さらに楽しいですよ！



ぜひぜひ！

Everyone there was awsome! Great vibe! Especially guide! I will definitely return and have already recommended to many people

Band was great. All the staff were incredibly nice. Bathrooms and changing rooms on board.

Val, our driver was great and very thoughtful to her passengers. The scenery was breathtaking and the incoming surf was truly a sight to behold. I wish we could have had a little more time to stop and see the Hawaiian villages and some of the ranch sites, but understand it is a working preserve. Highly recommend.

Well worth your time. We had a fabulous time. Do it if you have the time

Really a good time with fresh lunch and good live music. Banana boats were a blast I laughed so hard. There was crew out on the sandbar showing us sea life and it was great!

Had a good time. Would recommend them to anyone. Very professional.

The day after the Honolulu Marathon was free time. Since it depended on the weather and my physical condition, I made an online reservation on-site after the marathon. It was a busy time for travelers, and many spots were already booked, but I finally found an opening for a private lesson. The price was a bit high, but it couldn't be helped. It's great that they accept participants up to 80 years old.

The reception on the day was the worst. A Japanese female staff member was in charge, and while I felt relieved at first, her attitude was extremely cold. I was given a long T-shirt for kids to wear over my swimsuit, specifically a size S for children—about 5 or 6 years old! Even when I said it was impossible, she insisted that it would be sufficient for me. Is this bullying?

The people around me sympathized and suggested that I should get an exchange, and reluctantly, they brought out a proper size from a back room. I was the only Japanese person there, but having Japanese staff didn't guarantee comfort; in fact, I learned that I could be treated poorly.

As for surfing, I was able to stand on the board and ride the waves after just two or three tries. Getting up from a prone position to standing requires leg strength. It's definitely not something to do right after a full marathon.

ホノルルマラソン翌日のフリータイム。天気と体調次第なので、マラソン終了後、現地でネット申し込みしました。旅行者が多い時期でもあり、予約は結構埋まっていて、ようやくプライベートレッスンの空きを見つけました。金額割高だけど、仕方ない。80歳までokもありがたい。
当日の受付は最悪。日本人女性スタッフが采配していて、安心したのも束の間、めちゃくちゃ塩対応。水着の上にガードの長Tシャツを着るのだが、私に渡されたのは子供用Sサイズ。5、6歳くらいの！
無理、と言っても、あなたにはそれで充分と。これってイジメ？
周りの人も見かねて、交換してもらうべきと共鳴してくれて、渋々奥の部屋からまともなサイズのを取り出してきた。
日本人は私だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいれば安心ということでは無いな。むしろ、ゴミのような扱いを受ける場合もあると知った。
サーフィン自体は、2，3回でボードに立って波に乗る事ができた。
腹這いから、瞬時にボードに立つので、脚力が必要。フルマラソン直後にやるものではないな。

The whole ever crew at the sand bar was amazing. From the boarding, to the live music, and to the guys down in the sandbar!

This was such a cool excursion. The views are incredible. The ʻike (knowledge) you get on this adventure is really cool to hear about the mountains and structures on the land.

It included a pick-up service. They arrive on time. There were only a few Japanese people on the large bus. A Japanese-language video guide was played. After boarding, you can take a seat on the first deck and listen to various explanations (in English), after which you can move freely around the ship. When a whale is spotted, the direction it is seen from the bow is announced based on the clock position, with participants all saying "Keep eyes open" while searching. When someone shouts "8 o'clock!!", everyone looks in that direction. Although we didn't see the whales jumping as in the photos on the website, we could see them spouting water, and there were many moments when we could see their backs quite clearly. I was surprised to see that the whales come so close to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. The time spent searching for whales was overwhelmingly longer, but it was wonderful to relax while enjoying the pleasant Hawaiian breeze. It's basically a cruise. It might be a bit dangerous for small children running around, and they would probably find it boring anyway. Since this is only available from January to March, I would recommend it to those who can go during this time.

送迎付きでした。時間通りに来てくれます。大型バス乗り合いで日本人は数名程度。日本語の案内ビデオが流れます。乗船後1階デッキに着席し色々説明（英語）を聞いた後は船内を自由に移動できます。クジラが見えたら船首を12時として時計の位置で見えた方向がアナウンスされます。参加者全員が"Keep eyes open"で探しますので、参加者が"8 o'clock!!"と叫ぶと皆8時方角を見る感じです。Webの写真のように飛び上がる姿は見られませんでしたが、潮を吹くと位置が分かり、背が結構見える場面も多かったです。ホノルルのダウンタウン、ワイキキもすぐそこに見える位置までクジラが来ているんだな、と驚きました。クジラを探す時間の方が圧倒的に長いですが、ハワイの心地よい風を浴びながらまったりと過ごす時間は最高でした。基本クルーズですね。小さなお子様は走り回ったりちょっと危険かもしれません、そもそも子供にはつまらないですよね。1月から3月までの限定ですので、この時期に行かれる方にはお勧めしたいです。

Highly recommend.. don't hesitate and just book it.. Awesome experience! Beautiful views! Super awesome crew on board and learned alot tooo! And would do it again! Great place to take your family. I took my sr parents and they had a blast.

Parasailing
I got seasick on the way to the spot.
The view was amazing, and the height was just right.
It was a struggle to get there with the waves.

Jet Ski
There was limited freedom since the course was predetermined, but I had a great time.

パラセーリング
沖までに行く間に船酔いしました。
景色は最高、高さも程よい。
波があると行くまでに苦労です。

ジェットスキー
コースが決められているので自由度は少ないですが
楽しめました。

Best tour of the the sandbar so many activities and awesome staff and fun for all live music ! Don’t miss out even if you are local or visiting it’s a great way to spend a day in the water with no fuss, just bring yourselves and sunscreen and be ready for fun! Snorkel paddle board volley ball, kayak, rides and sun party deck it’s all there plus great music entertainment, Lunch, bring your friends and have a blast!

This whole experience was well thought out. From the live music to the events, to the food. It is well organized and made the experience really enjoyable.

There was plenty of activities to do for all ages.

This time, we made a reservation for three people. We opted for a three-zipline set, and the total budget was around 42,000 yen. I thought it was a bit expensive, but since it was the off-season and the Kapolei pool was only open on weekends, we chose this option.

First, we checked in 15 minutes early and received instructions on how to put on the equipment. It was all in English, but they were very attentive.

After that, we received a briefing (all in English), took some photos, and off we went! There were two instructors who guided us carefully, so there was nothing to worry about. The first leap was a bit nerve-wracking, but once you get used to it, it’s a lot of fun.

The three ziplines took about an hour. It went by in a flash. Honestly, I could have done six, but it was a bit pricey, so I decided to stop there.

The instructors were polite and entertaining, and the zipline experience was in a more natural setting than in Japan, with longer distances and quite a bit of speed, which was enjoyable. I hope that if more people come, the prices might become a bit more reasonable.

I had a fantastic time, and experiences like this are hard to come by, so I highly recommend it. If possible, I think it would be fun to bring a strap to hang your phone around your neck or take a GoPro to capture the moments.

今回、3名で予約をしていってきました。
3本セットのもので、全員で予算は42000円位でした。
若干高いかな？とおもいましたが、シーズンオフで
カポレイのプールも土日しか空いていなかったため、ここをセレクトしました。

まず、15分前にチェックインして、装備品の装着の説明を受けて装着をします。
英語オンリーではありますが、丁寧に対応してくれます。

その後、説明を受けて（すべて英語）、写真を撮って、レッツゴー‼
インストラクターが2名ついてくれて、丁寧に教えてくれるので
困ることはありません。
最初の1本目の飛び出しだけは勇気がいりますが、あとは慣れてしまえば
楽しいです。

3本で時間は1時間程でしょうか？
あっという間でした。正直6本でもよかったですが、予算的に少し高かったのでこれで止めておきました。

インストラクターさんは丁寧ですし、面白いですし、
ジップラインも日本よりも自然の中をしかも距離も長く、スピードもかなり出て楽しかったです。
もっとたくさん人が言ってくれれば、値段も少しはこなれた値段になるのかな？と期待しております。

非常に楽しかったですし、このような体験はなかなかできないので
お薦めです。出来れば、携帯を首からかけられるストラップとかでもっていくか、GOPROをもっていって装着すると面白いと思いますよ。

This place is amazing, the ATV excursion was exciting. I will definitely do it again.

Had a great time with good music. The crew was great and the sand bar was fun!

To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!

My hubby wanted to tour Pearl Harbor on his birthday, so I booked this tour and we had the best time! Nani, our tour guide, was the best! He was pleasant, funny and just a great source of information - we honestly did learn so much about Honolulu, Oahu, the Hawaiian culture and Pearl Harbor itself! The tour itself was awesome ... tour bus was on time for pickup, we had the perfect amount of time both for the Arizona memorial and the Mighty Mo tour. It was just a really great day, and my hubby thoroughly enjoyed HIS day spent learning some history! Thank you!!

One recommendation would be if guests can get off and take pictures of the helicopter crash and skull bones.

I booked this tour with a Japanese guide because my husband doesn't speak English, but the guide and the other participants were all from English-speaking countries and knew zero Japanese. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I was a bit surprised.

旦那さんが英語を話せないので日本語ガイド付きのこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、ガイドおよびツアー参加者が英語圏の方で、日本語はゼロ。ツアー自体は楽しかったですが、少しびっくりしました。
