All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Wow, this team is amazing! All of the staff members are so nice and friendly and they made everyone on the boat feel so comfortable.  We did the 1000 ft line and I am so glad that we did! The views were amazing and it felt like just the right amount of time in the air. The check in was very easy to find and they even offer to take photos for you if you want to purchase them afterwards. Definitely something fun to do and they are located in such a convenient area for anyone in Waikiki. 

I had previously interacted with dolphins in Japan, but I was drawn to participate in this rare activity where you can swim with wild dolphins! I chose this tour particularly because of its 30 years of experience and the presence of Japanese staff, and it was definitely the right choice!! From the pick-up, the energetic Japanese staff elevated our spirits and made the tour exciting. Once we got on the boat, the foreign staff were all friendly, making it a fun experience from start to finish!

The wild dolphins exceeded my expectations, swimming beneath us in incredible numbers and coming back to us multiple times! On that day, they even showcased spin jumps! After that, we moved to the snorkeling spot, where we encountered sea turtles and were able to swim with them. On the return boat ride, we even spotted whales that were in Hawaii during this season!

The staff promptly pointed out the dolphins, sea turtles, and whales, so we hardly missed anything! Additionally, we got to play on a slide that goes into the sea, and there was also a hula dance by the staff, making it a luxurious tour that never got boring! It was worth more than the price we paid!!

日本でイルカと触れ合ったことはありましたが、野生のイルカと泳げるという貴重なアクティビティに惹かれ参加しました！特にツアーを始めて30年という実績がある点と日本人スタッフがいる点で選びましたが、大正解でした！！お迎えから気持ちを高めてくれる元気な日本人スタッフさんがツアーを盛り上げてくれ、船に着いてからも外国人スタッフさんもフレンドリーな方ばかりで始終楽しかったです！そして野生のイルカは想像を超える数のイルカが私たちの下を泳いでくれ、何度も来てくれました！この日はスピンジャンプも披露してくれました！その後シュノーケルの場所に移動し、ここでウミガメにも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができ、帰りの船ではこの時期にハワイにきているクジラにも遭遇できました！
イルカもウミガメもクジラもすぐにスタッフさんが教えてくれるので見逃すことがほとんどありませんでした！
他にも海に飛び込む滑り台で遊べたり、スタッフの方のフラダンスもあり、飽きることのない贅沢なツアーでした！お値段以上の価値がありました！！

Such a convenient location for anyone that is staying in Waikiki! The food was amazing and they had a nice variety to choose from. I have been to a couple different ones so far and this one ranks high on my list for the food! The entertainment was great and I loved the fire knife dancers, they put on a great show.  The MC made sure to keep everyone involved throughout the show and overall we had a great time. I would highly recommend, especially for anyone that is staying in Waikiki that doesn't want to drive too far out to attend a Luau.  

I participated in a morning plan that included breakfast. I thought it would be unlikely to see whales, but shortly after we set sail, there was an announcement that whales were nearby. We were able to see the whales' backs and their spouts up close. The boat drifted near the whales for a while, and we continued to see their backs and spouts. Although it was a wonderful breakfast buffet, I was so captivated by the whales that I hardly ate, and I wondered if breakfast was even necessary. On the way back to the port, we were also able to see a rainbow over the island. While we didn't see the kind of jumps often featured in photos, I was still very satisfied.

午前中の朝食付きのプランで参加しました。くじらはなかなかみられないだろうなと思いながら参加しましたが、出航してすぐにくじらがいると放送があり、くじらが近くにいて、くじらの背中と潮吹きがみられました。その後もくじらの近くを船が漂い、ずっとくじらの背中や潮吹きがみられました。せっかくの朝食ビュッフェでしたが、くじらに夢中であまり食べられず、朝食はなくてもよかったのかなと思いました。帰港中に島にかかった虹もみることができました。写真でよくみるようなジャンプはみられませんでしたが、満足でした。

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon, but perhaps we underestimated the boat, as both of us got seasick and were down for the count... Additionally, it was raining and cold. During the parasailing, we didn't have the luxury to enjoy the scenery, and it was quite tough... I did bring my phone with a waterproof cover and was able to take some pictures. It seemed that those who took motion sickness medication had no issues, so I recommend taking it.

ハネムーンで旦那と2人で参加しましたが、船をなめていたのか、2人とも船酔いでダウンしました...。さらに雨も降っていて寒かったです。パラセイリングの最中は景色を楽しむ余裕もなく、かなり辛かったです...。携帯は防水カバーをつけて持っていき写真は取ることができました。
酔い止めを飲んでいる方は特に問題は無かったようなので、酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします。

We experienced it as a family of six, but it's hard to say we saw a whale! We only caught a glimpse of its back.

家族６人で体験したけど、クジラを見た！とはなかなか言いにくい感じでした
背中の少し見えただけ？でした！

It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).

The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.

I was excited to go on this event. My excitement was well rewarded. On the way out we got a bonus of seeing a whole group of humpback whales breaching high in the air!!! At this point I felt my money was already a good investment!
The sharks did not disappoint either!! At least 20 of them circled our boat and cage while we got great views! Captain Caleo is a super guy and excellent at steering this tour perfectly
I would recommend this tour to all my friends!
Oh and we saw dolphins on the way back!!

We set sail in favorable winds, almost calm conditions, with a group of 10 people divided into 4 parties. It took about 10 minutes to reach the parasailing spot. Upon arrival, we had a brief orientation and fitted our harnesses. Before we knew it, the first group was flying, soaring into the blue sky. We were the last of the four groups, and since it was a 150-meter course, we went up to quite a height. The view of the hotel cluster in Waikiki from above the sea and the Diamond Head shining against the blue sky was amazing. It was so much fun!

風に恵まれほぼ無風状態で出航　4組10人のクルーズです　パラセーリングの場所まで10分ほど　到着するとすぐに簡単なオリエンテーションとハーネス合わせ　あれよあれよという間に1組目がフライト　するすると青空の中に吸い込まれていきます　4組中ラストの私たち　150メートルコースなのでかなりの高さまで上がりました　海の上から見るワイキキのホテル群　青空に映えるダイヤモンドヘッド　いやぁ楽しかったぁ！

I enjoyed a traditional luau and beautiful hula. Since the trip was all private plans, the activities were also individually arranged. I splurged a bit and reserved seats in the front center, which were close and had a great view. To my left and right were couples and families from Australia, New Zealand, and the mainland United States. It was fun to talk to each other and share snacks. After the show, we took the escalator down to the first floor and went straight to our room! It was very convenient. The welcome drink was a Mai Tai, which had me feeling a bit tipsy, and for my second drink, I had orange juice to refresh myself! The professional dancers were impressive; both the luau and hula were very captivating.

伝統的なルアウと美しいフラで楽しめました　旅行はすべてプライベートプランのためアクティビティも個人エントリー　ちょっと奮発して座席は前方中央席を予約　近くて迫力ありました　左右向かえはオーストラリア　ニュージーランド　アメリカ本土からのカップルと家族連れ　話しかけたり、話しかけられたり　おつまみのスナックを分け合ったりして楽しかったです。ショーが終われば、エスカレーターで1Fに降りそのままお部屋に！　とっても楽です。ウエルカムドリンクはマイタイでほろ酔い気味　2敗目はオレンジジュースでさっぱりと！　さすがはプロのダンサー　ルアウ　フラともに見応え十分です

This luau is in a perfect location for anyone staying in Waikiki. If you don't want a long drive to and from your luau, book this one because it's walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki.

Another great thing about this luau is the food. Of all the luau I've attended, this is only the second one to offer a dish with tofu. Any luau that has good vegetarian/vegan options rates very high in my book. My friends were also very pleased with the meat selection.

The entertainment was enjoyable and impressive. I especially enjoyed the fire knife dancing. I also enjoyed how each of the dance routines represented a different Polynesian island. So you get to learn a little about the culture and history of the island nations that populated Hawaii.

I highly recommend this activity if your staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.

It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

There are some things I'm a bit unsure about (like whether you get a lei or not), but it should be a fun experience. Also, once the show starts, it becomes difficult to go get food from the buffet, so I think it's better to grab a good amount during the initial food pickup. If you take a little and think you can just go back if you need more, you might find it hard to go again and end up regretting it.

ちょっとどうかなぁ、と思うところもありますが（レイが貰えたり貰えなかったり）、楽しい経験になるでしょう。なお、ショーがスタートするとビュッフェの料理は取りに行き難くなりますから、最初の料理ピックアップの際に、シッカリ取っておいた方が良いと思います。少なめに取って、足りなければ、また行けばよいや、と思っていると、なんか行き難い雰囲気になって後悔するかも。

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.

The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

I participated with my elderly mother and husband. The food was very delicious, and the show was wonderful. In particular, the host's talk was entertaining, and we were enveloped in laughter and emotion. The guide was also kind and spoke slowly in easy-to-understand English for Japanese people, which was reassuring. After the show, we immediately got on the bus, so I thought it would be good to use the restroom after finishing the meal. The return bus had quite strong air conditioning, so a jacket is definitely necessary.

高齢の母と主人と3人で参加いたしました。食事もとても美味しくショーも素晴らしかったです。
特に司会の方のトークが面白くて笑いと感動に包まれました。ガイドの方も親切で、日本人にはわかりやすい英語でゆっくり話してくれますので、安心です。ショーが終わったらすぐにバスに乗りますので、食事が終わったところでトイレに行っておくといいと思いました。帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきいていますので必ず上着が必要です。

This is the 4th time our family has done this tour. It does not get old! Free pick up in Waikiki. Trip to the biggest sand bar in the world. Cheeseburger (or vegetarian!) lunch. Turtle watching. Snorkeling on private reef. Excellent hosting (with Jenner on the guitar). Great value. DO
IT!!!

I went whale watching in early February 2020. The weather was nice, but we couldn't see any whales. I thought maybe it was a bit early in the season since they apparently don't jump until after giving birth. The hotel sent a bus to pick us up, but it arrived more than 10 minutes late, which made me anxious that we might have gone to the wrong meeting place. Once the bus arrives, they call out names, so there's no need to worry while waiting. I opted for the breakfast option, but there wasn't much time, and the menu was quite limited, which was disappointing. The good thing was that the sea was beautiful! I hope this helps you.

2020年2月初旬にホエールウォッチング。天気良かったけれど、クジラは観れず。子供を産んだ後でないと飛び跳ねないらしく、ちょっとシーズン早かったのかなっと思った。ホテルにバスが迎えにきてくれたが、10分以上遅れてバスが到着。集合場所を間違えたのかと不安になってしまった。バスが来たら名前で呼んでくれるから心配せずに待ってればいい。朝食付きの物にしたが時間が少なく、またメニューもかなり少ないので残念。良かったのは海が綺麗だったってことですかね！参考にしてもらえればと思います。

I was very impressed with the company. The company picked us up from our condo in Waikiki. The driver was very nice and personable. The staff on the boat was very nice, and made us feel very comfortable. The experience of feeling like a bird was exciting. I would highly recommend this company. Their professionalism was superb.

I was worried about whether I would really be able to see anything based on the reviews, but from about 30 minutes after departure, I was able to see continuously. I couldn't see the large figure right in front of me, though... I didn't include breakfast, so I went outside early and watched from above. There were English announcements followed by explanations in Japanese, so I think it would be fine for those who don't understand English. Since this ship is large, I think even those who are prone to seasickness would be okay. On the way back, I asked the driver if I could be dropped off at Ala Moana, and I thought he said okay, but in the end, I was just passed by. However, I was able to get off without going to the pickup location, which saved me time for my plans afterward. Next time, I want to go on a slightly smaller ship.

口コミをみて、本当にみられるか心配でしたが、出航して30分くらいからずーっとみれました。
大きな姿を目の前で！というわけにはいかなかったのですが…。
朝食はつけなかったので、早めに外に出て上の方から見てました。
英語のアナウンスに続いて日本語の説明もあり、英語が分からないひとでも問題ないかと思います。
この船は大きいので、酔いやすい人も大丈夫だと思います。
帰りに、アラモアナで降ろしてもらえるかドライバーに聞いたのですが、OKと言ったと思っていたら結局素通りされてしまいましたが、ピックアップの場所まで行かなくても、降りることが出来たので、その後の予定への時間を節約でしました。
次はもう少し小さい船で行きたいと思います。

Hanauma Bay was truly wonderful! You can enjoy it fully even with snorkeling. The guide was really kind and took a lot of photos for us. I want to go again!

ハナウマ湾、本当に良かったです！
シュノーケルでも十分に満喫できます。
ガイドの方も本当に親切で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。
また行きたいです！

- I chose a 5-person buggy, and it was great because it could be used by just two of us along with our companions.
- Since it was a plan without transportation, I tried renting a car for a day, but since I'm not familiar with the area from Waikiki, there's a possibility of being late or cutting it close, so I recommend opting for a plan with transportation included.

・バギーで５人乗りのものを選択したが、同行者と2人だけで使えたのでとても良かった
・送迎なしのプランだったのでレンタカーを1日借りてみたが、ワイキキからだと慣れていないこともありギリギリor遅刻する可能性があるので送迎付きをおすすめする

Parasailing in Hawaii was really scary but the best experience ever! You definitely should try it! 150 meters was frightening, but the view was amazing and it truly became a wonderful memory ❤️❤️ It was scary, but I think I want to do it again. Highly recommended ☺️

hawaiiでパラセーリングは本当怖かったけど最高でしたー！！
あれは是非やるべき！
150メートルは怖かったけど景色は最高で本当良い思い出になりました❤️❤️
怖かったけどまたやりたいなって思います。
絶対オススメ☺️

I participated in the same tour last year, and I was surprised to see that the crew member was the same person. It seemed like he remembered us, which made me happy! I would like to join again when I come to Hawaii.

去年も同じツアーに参加しましたが、クルーザーのお兄さんが同じ人で驚きました。
何となくお兄さんも私たちを覚えていてくれたようで、嬉しかったです！
また、ハワイに来るときは参加したいです。

At first, I was unlucky and thought I wouldn't meet anyone this time, but in the second half, I got to swim with dolphins up close!! The excitement of swimming with dolphins is something I will never forget! I definitely want to participate again next time!

最初は運が悪く全然出会えず、今回はダメかなと思っていましたが、後半でイルカ先生が！！
間近でイルカと泳いだ感動は今でも忘れられないです！次回もぜひ参加したい！

The weather was nice, and I was able to see two whales. The sea breeze felt good, and it was wonderful to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean, making Oahu look beautiful.

良い天気で、2匹の鯨を見ることができました。
海風も気持ちよく、ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドも見えて海から見るオアフ島も素敵でした。

There was a pre-boarding explanation by the Japanese staff, and although it was an English tour, there were no inconveniences at all. We even encountered whales, and the beer on the comfortable boat was fantastic!

日本語スタッフによる乗船前説明もあり、英語ツアーですが、何の不便もありません。クジラにも遭遇でき、心地よい船上でのビールも最高でした！

I think there are many water slides, and it's a place where both thrill-seekers and those who aren't as good with extreme rides can have fun. While there are regular slides, many of them are designed for riding on inflatable tubes, which made for a pleasant experience. The large slides can accommodate four people, so I believe it would be exciting when going with a group.

ウォータースライダーが沢山あって、絶叫系が好きな人もあまり得意でない人も楽しめるところだと思います。スライダーは普通に滑るものもあるけど、浮き輪に乗って滑るものが多いので、気持ちよく楽しめました。大型のスライダーは４人のりのものがあり、グループで行ったときは盛り上がると思います。

I was able to see the whale's spout, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the whale itself, which was disappointing. The crew said that we were lucky to have encountered a whale, but honestly, I think it would be impossible to see one without a lot of luck. However, the staff were kind, which was nice.

クジラの潮吹きは見えたのですが姿を見る事はできなく残念な結果に…。
クルーの方達はあなた達はクジラに会えてラッキーと言ってましたが正直かなりの運の良さが無ければ姿を見るのは無理だと思います。
ただスタッフの方々は親切で良かったです。

The wild and playful uncle keeps you entertained! The view during parasailing is incredibly beautiful, and I was captivated by it! I definitely want to experience it again the next time I come to Hawaii!

遊び心満載のワイルドなおじさんが楽しませてくれます！
パラセイリングの最中に見える景色は大変綺麗で見惚れてしまいました！
次ハワイに来た時も是非体験したいです！

The Polynesian dinner show at Hilton was my second time, following Guam, and the food and drinks were just okay. Since it was my birthday, they wished me a happy birthday.

ヒルトンのポリネシアンディナーショーは、グアムに続き2回目で、食事、飲み物はまあまあです。
誕生日だったので、おめでとうを言ってもらいました。
