All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

My daughter and I had a wonderful time at chief’s luau. The Chief was so funny and they all put on a great show! You could really feel the warmth of his personality shining through his speech and his humor made everything great. Tons of fire dancing, singing, story telling, and more dancing all around. Great food and great people to share the experience with. Felt like you were still in paradise. Definitely recommend purchasing close up seats and the lei package so you can get the full experience. Especially if it’s your first time in Hawaii. Totally worth every penny.

The tour guide was wonderful. Our bus driver Jimmy did a fantastic job. They only disappoint was the snorkeling, but then again we are experienced and for beginners it was great.

Honestly, my expectations for this tour was not high. Reviews seemed mixed all around (i.e., Yelp, Google, etc.) and what I "really" wanted was the tour that had all the additional activities, i.e., banana boat, stand-up paddle board, but it was completely booked. However, the experience on this specific tour was sooooo much better that I anticipated. I booked the reservation for 17 (14 adults + 3 children), with most visiting from the East Coast mainland with even quite a handful of locals for which this was their first time to Sandbar, and they were more than accommodating to our large party. At first, I thought the time allocation was too short for each excursion (1. Sandbar (1-hr), 2. Turtle watching (15 min.); 3. Snorkeling (1-hr)), but it was perfect! Any longer and it would have felt drawn out. The lunch tasted better than I expected. Not too little and definitely not too much (otherwise the kids would have vomitted!). So don't be discouraged by it JUST being a BBQ burger -- you'll be pleasantly surprised. Drinks were available on board - non-alcoholic (free) and alcoholic ($5 each) and they had quite a variety so don't worry about being parched! The boat staff was super energetic and had a really cool vibe. They informed you ahead of time of all the do's and don'ts and was always available to answer any and all questions and concerns. And lastly, the Captain really made the trip memorable! He was a lot of fun and you just knew he loved his job. The weather was perfect, so that too, helped to make the day. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and I look forward to recommending this tour package to the rest of our family and friends, local and visiting.

Great guides for first time and friendly, professional

Our family had an amazing time on this fishing trip. The crew was sooo friendly and kind! They were so helpful when I had to nurse my baby on board and they gave us ginger chews if we felt nauseous. We highly recommend them and would be so happy to come back.

Capt Bob's sandbar tour was awesome. Capt Eggy and crew were A+. The snorkeling around the mini pop up reef was the highlight of the day. Running around the sandbar was fun. Getting to see Honus along the way was spectacular. Lunch was good. Capt Eggy and crew were very accommodating to everyone's needs. Highly recommend taking this tour. It was worth it.

Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.

初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。

I had a fun experience!
I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much!

楽しい体験をさせて頂きました！
やはり難しいし、沖までパドリングして波の場所まで行き来する事があんなにしんどいとは知りませんでした。
ハードでしたがとても楽しかったです。
やはりサーフィンは難しい‍♀️
でも少しでも体感出来ればはまりそうです。
ボディボードとの違いを思い知りました。
ロコの年季の入った方が先生で、優しくて親しみがありそれも面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました

My adult daughter and teenage son and I had an amazing time. From the warm welcoming from the hula dancers and music being played to the staff. I had a reserved table with the view of the water. Beautiful set up. The food was delicious and beautiful presentation. Our waiter was very attentive. Enjoyed the dancers/performance and music. The fireworks show from Waikiki because it was on a Friday night was absolutely beautiful while being on the water. The fireworks were okay wished it was more of them but it was nice just the same. I highly recommend this cruise. We went in July 2022

Spectacular time. Terrific reef! 107 feet below the ocean.

Amazing experience. Great crew and the food. It's worth it.

A very great tour and guide , we really recommanded

The chefs Luau was the best one we have ever attended. Great seats, awesome atmosphere, wonderful food all topped off with a history lesson on Hawaiis culture. Then they threw in a little comedy and it was over the top. Grandkids loved it.

Booking was very easy and they did a nice job of working with us since not all of our parties made it on the same boat at first. It was not the nicest day but the crew on board did there best to keep up safe and allow us to have fun at the same time. I loved that the had live singing as well as lunch for everyone. Another plus was that there was restrooms. I couldn't complain about all of the different activities that we could do. Book the banana ride ahead of time is my only tip!

From check in to the end this was well organized. We loved our waiter, how our table was set for us, delicious drinks. The show while we ate our dinner was amazing they did a wonderful job, the music was also pleasant, and dessert was yummy, the view is breathtaking. We went in July so we did not need sweaters of any kind. We did not know if we'd get motion sickness, so we still took some dramamine an hour before and we did just fine. We also loved our picture a memory that we will forever have with us, worth the price!

It was amazing. Our tour guide was very informative and very personable. There were 5. People from my family plus 5 purge guests on the tour.
It is something I’ll never forget. Meeting and having lunch with Shawn was an added bonus.

I chose jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boating! I was taken from the pickup location to a boat on the water, where I participated in each activity. There were several people who spoke Japanese and a few others who understood it, so I didn't have much trouble with conversation or explanations. They engaged with me a lot, which made the waiting time not boring at all. Each activity was very enjoyable, and they took proper safety precautions, so I think it was a satisfying day. It was really great that I could purchase photos and videos after the activities!

ジェットスキー、パラセーリング、バナナボートを選択しました！
ピックアップ場所から水上にある船に連れて行ってもらい、そこでそれぞれのアクティビティに参加させていただきました。
日本語を話せる方が何人かいらっしゃるのと、日本語がわかる方がその他数人いらっしゃったので、会話や説明にはあまり困らず、たくさん話しかけていただいて、待ち時間もあまり退屈しませんでした。
それぞれのアクティビティもとても楽しく、安全にもきちんと配慮してくださり、満足のいく日になったと思います。写真や動画も、アクティビティのあと購入できたので本当に良かったです！

Very well organized tour. The tour left on time and excellent management. My kids (age 8-16) love the activities.

This was a great way to get out on the water and see the Waianae Coast while watching the beautiful sunset!

The staff was outstanding and fun. The 10-minute boat ride was informative and not bad at all for those afraid of seasickness.

The pesto chicken wrap that came with the full day package was dry, it needed extra dressing. The included activities (kayak, paddle board, etc..) were good. Beach volleyball nets and balls were ok (bring your own ball if you have it), the sand had a lot of hard marble-sized cones from the surrounding trees, tough on the feet - good shade though.

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.

Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.

ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。

Such a fun and thrilling experience! Enjoyed the combo of paddling out and then riding/surfing the waves in. First-time for us plus our two teenagers, and everyone loved it! Staff are so friendly and helpful, too. Definitely recommend booking in advance like we did! Won't regret it!

I went as an observer to take pictures and video for my grandaughter and her friend. To start, the staff was very professional, polite, and respectful. They so went out of their way to esure that everyone felt safe and comfortable. This was the girls first time parasailing and jet skiing. This was the highlight of their entire trip.

Went to sandbar and back. The view was great and the weather was beautiful. Arrived there early in the morning and rented dry bag and the anchor. Staff was helpful in explaining the route and things to remember. Overall very enjoyable experience. Would like to recommend to anyone who wants to see the sandbar in person.

It was our family's first zip line experience, including elementary school children. We did six lines. Since it was in the afternoon, it was quite hot. Because each person has to go through a safety check before flying, if there are many people, the waiting time can be quite long, and there is no shade, so you can get sunburned easily.

It was nice that there was time to buy drinks and use the restroom during the break after doing three lines. If you drop your smartphone or anything, it's game over, but everyone was holding onto theirs with one hand. All the rules were in English, but even if you didn't understand, you could figure it out through gestures.

小学生子供を含む家族で初めてのジップラインでした。6本やりました。
午後の日中であった為、かなり暑かったです。1人1人安全確認をしてから飛ぶため、人数が多いと待ち時間は、日陰では無いので、かなり日焼けます。
3本やった後の休憩時間に飲み物を買う時間と御手洗時間があったので良かったです。
スマホなど落としたら終わりですが、皆 結構片手に持ってやっていました。
ルールなど全て英語でしたが、理解できなくてもジェスチャーで分かりました。

We had a great time. Only negative thing I would say was it was a little long, we were finished and sitting around maybe 1 hour.

First of all, the pickup did not arrive on time. I was anxious after waiting for nearly 30 minutes, thinking I might be at the wrong location.

Perhaps due to the bad weather, the sea did not look beautiful. It was very cold even though it was July.

Above all, I was disappointed that the sandbar was different from the promotional photos.

まず集合時間通りに迎えが来なかった。
30分近く待たされたので、場所を間違えたかもと不安になりました。

天候が悪かったせいか、海が綺麗に思えませんでした。
7月なのにとても寒かったです。

何より、宣材写真と違うサンドバーにがっかりしました。

Very warm staff and great opportunities for activities!

Amazing, Great fun on the sand bar. Had my 5 and 8 year old with us. Great for all ages. Added bonus was the Hawaiian Band playing amazing music.

Great fun! The guys were great. Magnificent views!
