All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

For the English lesson, there were some details I didn't fully understand, but the instructors provided solid support, so I was able to enjoy surfing!

I was also happy that they took photos of me while surfing.

It was my first time surfing in the ocean, but I was able to stand up and had a great time!

英語でのレッスンのため、細かい事分からない部分もありましたが、インストラクターの方々がしっかりサポートしてくださるので、楽しくサーフィンできました！

サーフィンをしている姿を写真に撮ってくれるのも、嬉しいです。

海でサーフィンは初めてでしたが、立つ事ができ、楽しめました！

Was great fun and more than we expected. Our guide was informative about so much more than just the Five-0 show. It was a great introduction to Hawaii and I have recommended the tour to other family members and friends. We were even lucky enough to see some filming on location.

The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to. It might have been even better if the foreign guide had communicated a bit more, as it would have enhanced the feeling of being in a foreign country.

ガイドさんとても気さくで話しやすかった。
外人のガイドさんがもう少しコミュニケーション取ってくれたら更に外国に来た雰囲気を味わえてよかったのかもしれない。

The dolphins were slow to appear, and just as we were starting to feel discouraged, the cheerful hula dance by the crew got everyone excited, and then the dolphins showed up! We couldn't swim with them due to time constraints, but we were able to see many dolphins from the boat, including some jumping! It was a group of three ladies, and we had a great time with our first kayaking, waterslide, and snorkeling experience. One of us was worried about seasickness, but the anti-nausea bracelet we bought on the shuttle bus was very effective! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the crew was kind and fun, making it an amazing experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

イルカがなかなか現れず、諦めムードのなか船上でクルーの陽気なフラダンスで盛り上がりはじめると、イルカ出現！時間的に一緒には泳げなかったけど、沢山のイルカが船上から見れました。ジャンプしているところも！おばさん3人組でしたが、初カヤック、滑り台、シュノーケリングとてもたのしかったです。１人船酔い心配でしたが送迎バスの中で買った酔い止めブレスレット効果的面！ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく、クルーのみなさんも親切で楽しく最高でした。また、ハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

We participated as a group of five. Since we were the last ones, we got completely soaked, to the point where we were dropped into the water (laughs). The previous groups barely got wet, or only their feet went into the water.

5組での参加でした。私たちは一番最後だったので、頭までずぶ濡れになるほど、水の中に落としてもらえました（笑）それまでの組みは全然濡れなかったり、足だけが水の中に入ったり。

The tour of the filming locations for Jurassic World was more fun than I expected. Only those who have experienced it can understand how enjoyable it is. It was unfortunate that it rained, but it was still worth going. Having a Japanese guide made me feel at ease, and I had a great time. I created the best memories. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate.

ジュラシックワールドのロケ地巡り、思った以上に楽しかったです。どんな風に楽しいのかは、体験した人にしか分からないですね。
雨が降ったのは残念でしたがそれでも行く価値はありました。
日本語ガイドさんなので安心もできましたし、楽しく過ごせました。最高の思い出が出来ました。
またハワイに行ったら是非、参加したいです。

We take a boat out to the submarine. We glide past canoes and surfers, enjoying views of Honolulu's beaches and cityscape, as well as Diamond Head from the sea before boarding. We also enjoyed a short cruise. At the bottom of the ocean, there are not only fish but also sea turtles and eels...

潜水艦に乗る沖合まで船で行きます。
カヌーや波乗りの横をすり抜け、ホノルルのビーチと街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から眺めてから乗船です。短い時間のクルーズも楽しめました。
海の底には、魚のほかにもウミガメやウツボも、、、

My daughter and I really enjoyed the scenic route. We get to experienced the outdoor adventure where they filmed Lost, Godzilla, Hawaii Five O’s, and Jurassic World. We were actually there riding UTV through out the location. It was so fun for both of us.

The staff at the office spoke Japanese and patiently explained everything, which was very reassuring. That's the only good thing about this place.

However, the foreign tour guide was the worst.

The first thing he said when he greeted us was "shorty," which is unacceptable. He claimed to be from Japan, but if that's true, wouldn't he know that "shorty" is not a nice thing to say? He continued to make disrespectful comments about Japanese people, brushing them off as "just jokes." It seems like he confuses being friendly with being rude. Is this how communication works in Hawaii?

It was extremely unpleasant to feel uncomfortable during a tour that I paid a lot of money to join. I definitely do not recommend this.

事務の方は日本語が通じ、一つ一つ教えてくれるのでとても安心できます。
いいところはそこだけです。

ただ、ツアーガイドの外国人の方。
最悪でした。

最初の出迎えの一言が「チビ」はあり得ません。
日本出身の方と言ってましたが、日本出身ならば、「チビ」が良いことばでないことはわかりませんか？
その後も日本人をなめた発言をしては「ジョークジョーク」と言って済ませてましたが…
フレンドリーと失礼を履き違えてるのでは。
これがハワイのコミュニケーションの取り方なのかな？

高いお金を出して参加したツアーでわざわざ嫌な気分にされたことは相当不快でした。
絶対にオススメしません。

This was my first surfing experience in Hawaii, even though I've been there several times! The group lessons with Hands Heideman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons were so much fun, as the instructors helped us a lot and made it easy to ride the waves. I want to make this a routine every time I come to Hawaii from now on!＼(^^)／ I think it would be difficult to enjoy surfing like that without the instructors. Everything, including the timing, was just perfect, and I am truly satisfied. I can't find any complaints. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy the Hawaiian sea even more than usual!! ✩.*˚ Thank you so much! ((﹡ˆ︶ˆ﹡))

ハワイは何度と行かせてもらっていながら、はじめてのハワイサーフィン体験でした！
ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィンレッスンさんのグループレッスンは、インストラクターのみなさんがたくさん助けてくれて、並に乗らせてくれるので、
とっても楽しくて、これからは毎回、ハワイにきたときのルーティンにしたいです！＼(^^)／
インストラクターのみなさんがいなければ、あんな風にサーフィンを楽しめることは難しいと思います。時間もすべてが、ちょうどよくて、ほんとに大満足です。不満がみつかりません。おかげで、いつもよりもハワイの海を満喫することも出来ました！！✩.*˚ ありがとうございました((﹡ˆ︶ˆ﹡))

Seeing the turtles was so fun and the guys that helped us get all set were amazing. They filled our drinks after and made she we were well taken care of.

It was a great sunset (as almost all are in Hawaii) meeting some new friends and having some fun with a lively crew. Would recommend for family entertainment as well as enjoyable for 'just the two' of you. It was great to have the pre-boarding show and get to meet some of the crew/cast. The food was good and the crew took very good care of of all.

It was my first time, and I was nervous, but I had the best time enjoying the wonderful scenery and the ocean while on the boat. I definitely want to try parasailing again. When I come to Hawaii next time, I will absolutely do it again.

初めてで、ドキドキしましたが、ボートに乗ってる時も素敵な景色と海を満喫出来て最高でした。
パラセイリングも、是非、又やりたいと思いました。
次回ハワイに来たときには、絶対又やります。

It was my first time snorkeling, but they were very kind and taught me well, allowing me to enjoy it. I'm glad I chose to do it here; I felt safe. The two instructors were friendly and approachable, and they were amazing. Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても親切に教えて下さり、楽しむことができました。
ここで頼んでよかったです、安心です。
インストラクターのお二人が親切で親しみやすく最高でした、ありがとうございました。

I always go every time I visit Hawaii. Usually, it's during the busy summer vacation period. This time, it was a weekday in October. I'm glad it was less crowded. However, because it was less crowded, the attractions only opened at staggered times, and many were closed, so I ended up having to wait in line anyway.

Also, at the bar counter, I usually can buy alcohol without any checks, but this time, they were serving alcohol at the food stalls too. Maybe it's due to their manual, but they asked to see my passport or ID... Who brings their passport just to go to the pool?! Japanese people don’t carry IDs!

ハワイに行く度に必ず行きます。いつもは夏休みの繁忙期。今回は10月の平日。空いてて良かった。がしかし、空いてるが為、アトラクションは時間差にしかオープンしなくて、クローズが多く、結局並ばなくてはいけなかった。
また、バーカウンターでは、いつもはノーチェックでお酒が買えるのに、食べ物売ってるところでお酒も出している。マニュアルのためなのか、パスポートかID見せろって言われて… プールに行くのに、パスポート持っていく人居る⁉️日本人は、IDなんて持ってないっつうの‼️

Outstanding Crew- excellent service...beautiful venue...fun packed day

My husband, our 5-year-old child, and I signed up for the 120m parasailing. I thought our child might be scared since it was their first time, but they are good with roller coasters and enjoyed it without any fear, saying they want to do it again! The boat does sway quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick.

夫、私、5歳の子の3人で120mを申込みました。子どもはパラセーリングが初めてだったので、怖がるかと思いましたが、ジェットコースター等は得意な方なので、全く怖がらずにまた乗りたい！と楽しんでくれました。
船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は厳しいかもしれません。

The guide was fun and friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the sky! The view of Diamond Head and the hotels from up high was exceptional.

ガイドの方も楽しく親切で、空の散歩を満喫しました！
高いところから見る、ダイヤモンドヘッドやホテル群は格別でした。

This was the highlight of my trip! I loved it, so much fun and the view was amazing! Not for those without a strong stomach though or plenty of seasickness meds on board as the boat ride was a little rough. I think I was one of the only one’s who didn’t have a problem with it! Definitely worth trying especially since you can get hotel pick up and drop off as well as optional pictures which was nice.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and lots to see on this tour.

Welcome drink (juice or Mai Tai)
→ Buffet-style dinner
→ Enjoy the show
This is basically the flow of the evening.
The prices vary depending on the seats, but you could see the stage from any seat.
The show included hula dancing, singing, audience participation, and a grand finale with fire dancing—there was so much to enjoy!
It was the perfect show to enjoy a night in Hawaii.
After watching the show, you receive a discount voucher for the bar next door at the Hilton, so you can savor a drink while relishing the afterglow of the show... it was just fantastic!

ウェルカムドリンク（ジュースかマイタイ）
→ビュッフェ形式で夕食
→ショーを鑑賞
基本はこんな流れです。
席によって値段が違いますが、どの席からでもステージが見れました。
ショーはフラダンスあり、歌あり、お客さんを引っ張り出しての余興あり、ラストのファイアーダンスまで盛りだくさん！
ハワイの夜を楽しむには最高のショーでした。
ショーを鑑賞した後は、隣のヒルトンにあるバーの割引券がもらえるので、ショーの余韻を感じながら一杯・・・なんて最高なこともできたり。

The guide was cheerful and fun, and the hamburgers were delicious! The water level on the day was about waist-high, but playing beach volleyball was also enjoyable, and it was the best experience. We encountered many sea turtles as well.
I want to participate in this tour again!

ガイドさんが陽気で楽しく、ハンバーガーも美味しかった！当日の水位は腰くらいまでありましたが、ビーチバレーも楽しかったし最高でした。ウミガメにもたくさん出会えました。
また参加したいツアーです！

The school teacher was very kind and taught us well, and all the staff were nice, creating a great atmosphere!! My wife and I went together, and both of us were able to stand up; it was truly the best school! I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii!

スクールの先生は丁寧に教えてくださり、スタッフの方皆さんいい方でとても雰囲気が良かったです！！
妻と2人で行ったのですが、2人とも立つことが出来て本当最高なスクールでした！
またハワイに行った時には行きたいと思います！

It was disappointing because of the cloudy sky. If the weather had been nice, it would have been a point boost, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was too strong. I had read in reviews that there would be towels on the seats of the return bus, but there weren't any. I thought it might be necessary to announce that large bath towels are essential.

曇り空で残念でした。天気が良ければポイントアップだつたのですが残念。こればかりはどうしようもないですが。あと送迎バスの冷房が効き過ぎでした。帰りのバスの座席にタオルがひいてある、と口コミがあったのねすが、ありませんでした。大きなバスタオルは必須とアナウンスすべきかな、と思いました。

It seems that it rained in the morning, so unfortunately the sandbar was about waist-deep. However, I was able to see sea turtles clearly from the cruise, and snorkeling was also fun! There was a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease.

朝に雨が降っていたみたいで残念ながらサンドバーは腰あたりの深さでした。
でもクルーズからしっかりウミガメ見ることができたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです！！
ガイドさんも日本人の方もいて安心でした。

日本人のガイドのかたもいて、英語が苦手でも楽しく過ごせました。
サンドバーはとても美しく、バレーボールをみんなでやり、とても良い思い出ができました。

We had 2 adults and an 8 year old. Everyone loved it - the snorkelling was brilliant .... loads of fish and the water was so clear.

It was great having the other activities available also. The staff on the boat were friendly and helpful too. Great experience.

Activities chosen centered around my 2.5-year-old daughter
In conclusion, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience!!!
We got to touch dolphins and feed them...
It was a unique experience that we usually can't have, and it seems my child had fun.
The adults who participated together also enjoyed it!
The instructor spoke a little Japanese, which I think made it easier to understand.
Since we booked for two families, it was a great deal to be able to split the photos after the activity, haha. On the other hand, I wanted to film some videos, but once you participate, that's not possible...
Next time, I strongly want to let my child join a longer plan. And for my child to enjoy that, English skills are absolutely necessary. This was a day where I vowed to encourage my child to study English, using this activity as motivation, haha.

2歳半の娘を中心に選んだアクティビティ
結論、非常に満喫の楽しい体験でした！！！
イルカに触ったり、餌をあげたり、、、
普段できない体験ができて、子供も楽しめたようです。
一緒に参加した大人も楽しかった！
インストラクターは少し日本語も話してくれて、わかりやすかったと思います。
1予約2家族で参加したので、参加後の写真を折半して購入できたのはお得でした　笑　　逆に、動画を撮ってあげたいなぁ、と思ってたけど参加しちゃうとそれが叶わないのは仕方なし。。。　
次回は子供だけでもっと長い時間のプランに参加させてあげたいと強く思いました。　そして、それを子供が楽しむためには英語力が絶対に必要。　このアクティビティを糧に英語勉強にも励んでもらえるように頑張ろうと誓った親父の1日でした　笑

I waited quite a while at the pier after getting off the bus. Most of the people were part of a Japanese group, and I was a bit anxious about whether I was waiting in the right place. The boat that had left earlier returned, and we waited for it to be cleaned. So, I think I waited for about an hour in total. The sandbar was beautiful, and the hamburger was amazing. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles while watching them, which was very moving. However, I still can't forget the moment when a sea turtle collided with the boat just as we were about to go snorkeling... The shock was significant given how moved I was. The snorkeling was enjoyable, even though the waves were high. There was no problem going in a swimsuit, but having a change of clothes would make the return bus ride more comfortable. There is storage under the seats on the boat. If I come again, I would like to participate on a nice weather day and check the tide as well.

バスから降りた船乗り場でかなり待ちました。日本人団体がほとんどでしたが、ここで待っているのがあっているのか不安になりながら待っていました。先に出ていた船が戻ってきて、清掃するのを待っていました。なので全部で1時間ほど待った気がします。サンドバーは綺麗でした。ハンバーガーも最高でした。海亀のウォッチングもたくさん見れました。とても感動しました。ただ、シュノーケリングに行くという時に海亀1匹と船が衝突をしたのが今でも忘れられません…。感動していた分心への衝撃が大きかったです。シュノーケリングは波が高かったですが楽しめました。水着でいって問題はなかったですが、着替えがある方が帰りのバスは落ち着くと思います。船の座席の下に荷物入れはあります。また来ることがあれば、天候の良い日に、そして潮の満ち引きも確認して、参加したいです。

I made a reservation from Japan and participated on the morning of the third day of my trip to Hawaii. I only joined for the jet ski experience, but others were doing various activities! The jet ski was for two people, so we switched places while out on the water, which was exciting! There were some waves, so I was tense while driving (^^; However, as I got used to it, I started to enjoy it, and it turned out to be a great experience!!

日本から予約して、ハワイ旅行3日目の午前中に参加しました。ジェットスキーのみの参加にしましたが、他の方は、色々なものをやっていました！ジェットスキーは二人乗りだったので、途中海の上で交代しながら乗りましたが、交代にドキドキ！波もあったので、運転は肩に力が入っていました(^^;それでも、慣れてくると楽しさも出てきて、いい経験ができました！！
