All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I was a bit nervous about participating in parasailing for the first time, thinking that even if I could understand a little Japanese from other people's reviews, it would be okay. But it turned out fine! The weather was great, and it felt wonderful. The view is so different from what you see on the ground, and I really enjoyed it.

初めてのパラセーリングで他の人の口コミで少し日本語が伝わるとは言っても大丈夫かドキドキして参加しましたが、なんとかなります！良い天気でとても気持ちよく景色も地上から見るのとは違って楽しめます。

It was way better than the parasailing experience I had in Guam! The weather was great, and the 360-degree view was amazing! ^ - ^

グアムで体験したパラセーリングより全然よかったです！
天気も良く、360度の眺めることができて最高でした^ - ^

There was a change in the boarding location, but they arranged everything, including the car, so there were no problems at all. We boarded the ship and went to where the submarine was waiting, and it was a bit scary going down the stairs backward... haha. The space inside the submarine was exciting. It seems that the luck of the day plays a role, but it appeared that there were few creatures to encounter. I heard that octopuses are rare. It was a great experience.

乗船位置の変更がありましたが、車の準備など全て手配してくれて何も問題ありませんでした。船にのり、潜水艦が待っているところまで行きいざ乗船。後ろ向きで階段を下がるのは少しこわい…笑。潜水艦の空間がワクワクさせてくれました。当日の運にもなるかと思いますが、出会える生き物は少なかった様子でした笑。タコがレアだそうです。良い経験になりました。

Since it was a plan with transportation included, I was able to hear many interesting stories from the driver. When checking in at the experience booth, it might take some time if you can't understand English. It seemed a bit cumbersome with the information needed for children. The activity was a buggy experience in the breathtaking scenery of nature, so it's definitely worth a visit! The mask we wore during the experience was given to us as a keepsake!

送迎付きのプランだったので、ドライバーさんの面白いお話しをたくさん聞くことができました。いざ、体験のブースにいきチェックインをする際には、英語が聞き取れないと時間がかかってしまうかもしれません。子供の入力事項など、少し手間取る印象でした。アクティビティは大自然の中圧巻の景色、バギー体験だったので行ってみる価値はありです！体験中身につけるマスクがそのまま頂けました！

I drove through a canyon that felt like it could have dinosaurs, something you don't see in Japan. It was fun to drive an open buggy on a bumpy road, which I usually don't do. The speed was intentionally limited, and it felt like we were always in low gear. We didn't stop at every photo spot, but we did have some time to take pictures in beautiful locations.

日本では見られないような本当に恐竜が、出てきそうな峡谷を走り抜けました
普段運転することのないオープンなバギーをデコボコもある道で運転するのは楽しかったです
スピードはそもそも出ないようになっていて、ずっとローギアのまま走ってる感じでした
全ての撮影スポットに停まるわけではありませんでしたが、景色のいいところでゆっくり撮影タイムもありました

Kualoa Ranch’s Movie Tour gave a fabulous insight into a WWII bunker, film locations and movie stars. My only constructive criticism is that the time given in the bunker isn’t long enough to absorb the history. Would still recommend the tour

This dolphin tour was really fun. It was a valuable experience, and I felt safe using it. For those who are worried about seasickness due to the waves, I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication. The driver who picked us up, the captain of the boat, and the crew who guided us were all very attentive and excellent. They also provided drinks and snacks.

However, I was disappointed with the optional photo sales in the latter part of the tour. I think it would be better to include it in the tour cost or have those who want it speak up. I purchased the photos, but the images of the people who participated with me also came along, so we should consider the privacy concerns that Japanese people might have.

このイルカツアーは本当に楽しかったです。
貴重な経験ができますし、安心して利用できました。
波があるため船酔いに不安のある方は、強めの酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。
送迎されるドライバー、船の船長、案内してくれるクルーは気配りができて最高でした。
ドリンクや軽食も用意してくれます。

しかし、任意のツアー後半の写真販売は、残念でした。　ツアーの費用に盛り込むか、欲しい人は声をかけてでいいと思います。　写真を購入しましたが、一緒に参加した人の画像も、もれなくついてくるので日本人が、気にするプライバシーは考慮するべきでしょう。

Before signing up, my wife was scared of the Cessna, but once we got on, there was very little turbulence and it was no problem at all.

We flew carefully over the East Coast from above Waikiki (the pilot circled around the area because there were reports of whales).

The scenery changed dramatically from the North Shore to the airport, and we enjoyed that as well.

申し込む前、妻はセスナを怖がっていましたが、乗ってみれば揺れも少なくまったく問題ありませんでした。

ワイキキ上空から東海岸（クジラがいたとのことでパイロットの方が周辺をぐるっと旋回していただけました）を丹念に飛行していただきました。

ノースショアから空港までは打って変わって内陸の景色となり、こちらも楽しめました。

We went as a family of 4 with a 13 and 15 year old and all loved our day! Our tour guides were fun and informative…. We just wish we had more time to do more of the activities… we strongly recommend this tour!!!

You can fully enjoy the nature of Hawaii. It was very fun to visit the filming locations of movies. Since the guide's explanations were all in English, I couldn't understand everything. During the photo time, we were the only Japanese people, so the guide talked to us and was considerate. If you have a driver's license, you can drive, so we were able to take turns driving. Having a pick-up service was also helpful. The driver guided us while driving as well. However, the waiting time until the pick-up was long.

ハワイの自然を満喫することができます。映画の撮影場所も回るのでとても楽しかったです。ガイドの方の説明は全部英語なので全部は理解できませんでした。写真タイムでは日本人が私たちだけだったのでガイドの方が話しかけてくれたり気を遣ってくれました。免許があれば運転できるので交代しながら運転できました。送迎付きなのも助かりました。運転手の方もガイドをしながら運転してくれました。ただ迎えの時間までの待ち時間が長かったです。

I made a reservation to create memories for our honeymoon. The staff really got us excited, and it became a wonderful memory. My husband was very enthusiastic and enjoyed himself a lot. Unfortunately, I got seasick and had to sit down. Even then, the staff was very considerate and I appreciated their help. If you pay an additional fee, they will take photos for you. I received about 100 photos as data, so I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行での思い出作りに予約しました。
スタッフの方が盛り上げてくれて良い思い出になりました。旦那はとてもノリノリで楽しんでいました。私は船酔いでダウンしてしまいました。その際もスタッフの方が色々と気遣ってくださりありがたかったです。
追加料金を払えば写真撮影をしてくれます。100枚ほどデータで貰うことができたのでおすすめです。

I had a really fun and great experience!
If you don't want photos, you need to clearly say no, or they will push you.
By the way, there were two groups including us, and both of us fell into the sea once.

凄く楽しくいい経験ができました！
もし、写真がいらないならばはっきり断らないとゴリ押しされます。
ちなみに私たち含めて2組いましたがどちらも海に一度落とされました。

This was a fun experience and the the staff was amazing! Would do this again

It was said to be a day with calm waves, but I still felt the rocking of the boat. However, the large, slow swaying after we ascended was more challenging for me, as I have a weak vestibular system. While I endured it, I received the title of today's champion from the staff during the docking, which made me laugh.

The scenery was beautiful, and my partner had a great time. It was a good experience.

波が穏やかな日だったそうですが
それでも船の揺れは感じました。
でも、船の揺れよりも、上空に上がってからの大きなゆっくりした揺れの方が
三半規管の弱い私にはしんどかったです。
何度も「うっ」となりながらも耐え忍んでいたところ、
着岸の際、スタッフの方から、今日のチャンピオンの称号を貰いました笑

景色は綺麗で、パートナーは非常に楽しかったそうです。
いい経験になりました。

I chose the morning plan without checking the tides, so I ended up being submerged in the sea up to my chest and couldn't see the sandbar. If you want to see the sandbar, I think it's better to check the tides beforehand. Once we got to the sandbar, we were able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding freely, which was fun. The staff members who spoke Japanese shared unique stories with us. You can get donuts on the boat heading to the sandbar, but if you plan to get them later, they might run out, so I recommend getting them at the beginning.

潮汐を調べずに午前プランを選択してしまったので、サンドバーは見られずに胸元くらいまで海に浸かっている状態でした。サンドバーを見たい場合は、事前に潮汐を調べてから行ったほうがいいと思います。サンドバーについてからは、シュノーケルやサップなど自由に過ごすことができ、楽しめました。日本語を話してくださるスタッフの方々がユニークにお話してくださいます。サンドバーに向かう船の中でドーナツがもらえますが、後でもらおうと思っていると無くなりますので、初めにもらうといいと思います。

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.

So much fun!! wish it was longer though.. Guides were very friendly and check-in was easy.

This place is just AMAZING. Had a great time snorkeling, feeding the fish, paddle boarding, and simply just soaking in the sun. The weather was just perfect. The tour crew was great, very attentive, and fun. I will visit every time I go back to Hawaii!!!!

Fun day out at the sand bar. Water was a little murky but still nice. Short SUP around the area and just hanging out.

I had a great time. The ocean was very beautiful and amazing! In the morning, I jumped off the diving rock (it was quite impressive), enjoyed snorkeling, and had a blast in the water. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding and strolled around Haleiwa a bit. I was able to play a lot throughout the day.

Everything was in English, so it might be difficult if you can't speak it at all, but the staff were very kind.

とても楽しかったです。海がとてもきれいで最高ですね！午前中は飛び込み岩から飛び込んだり（結構すごいですよ)、シュノーケルをして海遊びを満喫し、午後はサップをして少しハレイワの街を散策しました。一日中たっぷり遊べました。
全て英語なので全く話せないと難しいかもしれませんがスタッフの方はとても親切でしたよ。

The staff were enthusiastic and very accommodating. 🤙 They spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. There were also Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. The dog was adorable.

スタッフがノリノリで対応良かった🤙
日本語喋れるし安心できる
スタッフも日本人いるし安心
犬が可愛かった

I actually wanted to go to Hanauma Bay and Sea Life Park, but it was good that I had enough time for just Hanauma Bay. I was a bit worried at first since there was only an English guide, but it wasn't much of a problem. Thank you very much.

本当はハナウマ湾とシーライフパークに行きたかったのですがハナウマ湾だけの方が
十分時間が取れてよかったです。
英語ガイドの対応しかななったので当初少し不安でしたがさほど問題はなかったです。ありがとうございました。

I learned that Hawaii's plants and flowers include both native species and introduced species from Oceania and other regions. The explanation provided by the two participants was thorough and attentive. Making leis was also a wonderful, unique experience.

ハワイの植物、花には固有種とオセアニアなどからの外来種があることが良く分かった。参加者が小生ら2人で説明は丁寧に伺った。レイ作りも非日常体験で良かった。

I had an extraordinary experience driving a buggy through the unique scenery at the foot of the mountains in Hawaii, including visits to filming locations. The flexibility of the tour organizer, allowing us to choose our return flight on-site, was also great.

ハワイ独特の山並みのふもとの景色とロケ地後の見学などをバギーで走るという非日常の体験が出来ました。帰りの便は現地で選べるなどツアー主催者の柔軟な対応も良かった。

The crew was friendly, and the tour started promptly on time.
Fun activities at the beautiful sand bar. Plenty of kayaks and snorkling gears to borrow.
The staffs were very attentive to each participant's need and made sure of the safety throughout the tour.
The boat has a nice deck on the back with a lot of scenic views along the route from the pier to the sandbar.

It was a shame that the sky was cloudy, but the aerial walk was amazing. It felt higher than I expected, but there was little swaying, so even someone with a fear of heights like me didn't feel scared. I also recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding.

空が曇っていたのが残念でしたが、空中散歩は最高でした。思っていたより高く感じましたが、揺れは少ないので、高所恐怖症の私でも怖さは感じなかったです。
なお、酔い止め薬は乗船前に飲んでおくことをお勧めします。

The boat was nice, staff was friendly and the water was beautiful. The DJ kept the party going while the boat was anchored. And I might've fallen in love with Jesse! He was a wonderful addition to the excursion!! A great time was had by these girls from Texas!

Glenn was great he met us at baggage claim and when he was done he even helped with our baggage to the awaiting car I had.

I was filled with anxiety on my first overseas trip, but there were people who spoke Japanese, so I had no problems at all.

I had a great time on the banana boat and bumper tube, teetering on the edge of falling off! Both activities required wearing life jackets, which made me feel safe.

During snorkeling, I also wore a life jacket and just swam on the surface, but at the snorkeling spot, I was thrilled to see two sea turtles and lots of small fish welcoming me! While touching the sea turtles is not allowed, you can get close enough to take pictures with your smartphone! Just be cautious of seasickness as the boat sways constantly. Also, it was just us, but after we finished, I was so cold that my body was shaking, so if you're worried, it's best to prepare a jacket or a bath towel to keep warm.

There was about a 30 to 40-minute wait from the pickup to the start, and after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, there was a little over an hour before snorkeling, so you can grab a meal at nearby restaurants during that time.

For changing clothes, there was something like a changing room for one person, and there were two lockable restrooms where you could change. However, I just dried off with a towel without changing, and no one said anything while providing transportation.

Tips are given to different drivers for each boat, so after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, you give a tip to that driver, and after snorkeling, you give a tip to the snorkeling guide.

初の海外旅行で不安だらけでしたが、
日本語を話せる方もおり、何も問題ありませんでした。

バナナボートとバンパーチューブでは落ちるか落ちないかの瀬戸際で楽しませて頂きました！
どちらもライフジャケット着用なので安心です

シュノーケリングでもライフジャケット着用し
水面を泳ぐだけでしたが、ポイントではウミガメが2匹
とたくさんの小魚が出迎えてくれ大興奮！
ウミガメは触るのはNGですが、近づくのは大丈夫なので
スマホでも撮影できます！
常に波に揺られるので船酔いには注意です
あと、私たちだけでしたが、終わった後に体が震えるほど冷えたので、もし不安な方は暖を取れるよう上着やバスタオルをしっかり準備した方がいいです。

送迎後から開始までに30~40分程、
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ終了からシュノーケリングまで1時間と少し時間があり、近くに飲食店もあるのでご飯はそのタイミングで済ませられます。

着替えは、1人分なら更衣室のようなものがあったのと、
鍵のかかるトイレが2つあるのでそこで着替えられますが、私は着替えずにタオルで拭いただけの濡れた状態でも特に何も言われず送迎してくださりました。

チップはボートごとに運転手が違うので、
バナナボートとバンパーチューブが終わったらその方に、
シュノーケリングが終わったらその方に渡します。

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!
