All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I experienced a group lesson. We started practicing on small waves, and once everyone was able to ride them, we challenged ourselves with the bigger waves further out. The staff were also very accommodating, making it a great memory.

グループレッスンで体験しました。
最初は小さな波で練習して、みんなが乗れる様になったら沖の大きな波にチャレンジ出来ました。
スタッフの方も柔軟な対応で良い思い出になりました。

I have had many snorkeling experiences, mostly on boat snorkeling trips, which gave me a sense of security knowing I could return quickly if anything happened. However, this time I had to swim a bit offshore from the coast by myself for an hour, and I became very anxious and thought about quitting. But the guide held my hand, and I managed to swim for a full hour in the beautiful sea. I had a great time and was very satisfied. Thank you!

シュノーケルの経験は何回もありますが、ボートシュノーケルのことが多く、何かあったらすぐに戻れるという安心感がありましたが、今回は海岸から少し沖の方まで自力で泳いで、1時間と言われ･･･とても不安になってしまい、辞めようかと思ったのですが、ガイドの方が一緒に手を繋いでくれて、綺麗な海をしっかり1時間泳ぎ切りました。
とても楽しめて、満足な時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

My son loves it, and we go every year. This year, Dad joined for the first time. We were able to go all the way to the back during the wave pool, and my son seemed to have a great time.

This year, there were surprisingly many people, and most of the slides were open at the same time, so we were able to enjoy various attractions. Usually, there are fewer staff, and you have to time your visits to the slides when staff are present to use them.

Another downside is that the operating hours are short, from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM (due to transportation, we can only play for a shorter time than the actual hours).

If we can, I think we'll go again next year!

息子がお気に入りで、毎年行っています。今年はパパも初参加。波のプールの時に奥の方まで行くことが出来て、息子も楽しそうでした。
今年は意外と人が多かったのか、ほとんどのスライダーが同時間にやっていて、色々楽しめました。例年はスタッフが少ないのか、スライダーが時間別でスタッフが居るところを狙って行かないと出来なかったので。
あとは10時半から15時までと営業時間が短い（送迎がるので実際の営業時間よりも短い時間しか遊べない）のがマイナス要因がです。
来年も行ければ行くかな♪

At first, I was anxious, but in the end, I had a lot of fun and was smiling. It does take a toll on your stamina though (^_^;). Oh, to my sushi-loving friend Cooguy, the kanpyo is not made from daikon but from "yugao fruit." I mistook it for dried daikon. I'm sorry! When you come to Japan, please eat lots of your favorite sushi (*^_^*).

初めは不安でしたが、最後は楽しくてニコニコでした。体力は奪われますけど(^_^;　あ、お寿司大好きなCooguyへ。かんぴょうは、大根ではなく「夕顔の実」でした。切り干し大根と勘違いしてました。ごめんなさい！日本に来たら、大好きなお寿司たくさん食べてくださいね(*^_^*)

You can have a great time enjoying the pool and slide facilities, but there was only one restaurant available for lunch, which resulted in long lines and felt like a waste of time for the tour participants. Additionally, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was excessively cold, which was tough on our bodies after getting out of the pool. This time, we were unfortunately caught in a long downpour and had to seek shelter, but the kids were very satisfied, so I would like to consider joining again next time, depending on the weather.

プールやスライダー施設で思いきり楽しめますが昼食時のお店が1件しか無く、結果大行列に時間を費やしツアー参加者には時間のロスに感じました。また送迎バスの冷房が異常に寒くプール上がりの身体に堪えました。今回は長時間のスコールに振られ雨宿りも残念でしたが、子供は大満足でしたので次回はお天気と相談して参加したいと思いました

I participated with my 4-year-old grandchild and daughters. While waiting at the hotel, I was surprised when a more impressive bus than I expected came to pick us up. It was about a 40-minute drive from the hotel in Waikiki, enjoying the stunning coastal views. Sea Life Park was smaller and a bit less crowded than I anticipated, but because of that, we were able to participate in various events. Before the main dolphin touch program, my grandchild was thrilled to feed the sea lions, touch baby sea turtles, and feed the little birds. Before booking this program, I inquired with the Japanese branch of Sea Life Park about whether I could participate while holding my 6-month-old baby, but they said no, so either my daughter or I had to wait outside during the program. However, when I asked again before checking in on-site, they surprisingly said it was okay. We paid an additional fee and were all able to go to the dolphin pool. It was about $20 more than the advance reservation price. I wish this kind of information had been properly updated. The actual dolphin touch program left a bit to be desired in terms of content and duration. The return bus ride was neither too long nor too short, making for a perfectly timed stay, and overall, I was satisfied. The cafeteria food in the park was also delicious.

４歳と６か月の孫と娘たちとで参加しました。ホテルで待っていると予想以上に立派なバスが迎えに来てくれて驚きました。ワイキキのホテルから４０分ほど、海沿いの絶景を楽しみながらのドライブでした。シーライフパークは予想よりこじんまりでやや閑散としていましたが、その分色々なイベントに参加出来、メインのイルカタッチの前にアシカにえさをあげたり、ウミガメの赤ちゃんにタッチや小鳥にえさをあげたりと４歳の孫は大喜びでした。このプログラムを予約する前にシーライフパークの日本支社に６か月の赤ちゃんを抱っこして参加できないか問い合わせたところダメとの回答で私か娘のどちらかが、そのプログラムの間外で待たなけらばなりませんでした。　現地でチェックイン前にもう一度聞いてみると、なんとあっさりOK。　追加料金を払って全員イルカのプール前まで行けました。　ただ、事前予約の料金より20ドルくらい高かったです。　このような情報もきちんとアップしていただければと思いました。　で、実際にイルカにタッチプログラムは少し物足りなさが残る内容、時間でした。　帰りのバスの時間も長くもなく丁度程よい滞在で　全体的には満足でした。　パーク内のカフェテリアの食事もおいしかったです。　

Very interactive - they do a wonderful job of showing you how things were done back then. You get to help cook some foods (I wish we could have eaten) and get a good look at how they lived! Cousin Billy was funny and very informative, even during our ride from Waikiki to Waimea Valley. The food and drinks did not disappoint either! After dinner the entertainment is second to none - they put on one heck of a show!

We booked VIP and loved sitting up close, but there is not a bad seat in the pavilion.

Our only complaint is that the Toa Luau ruined our other Luau. We attended Toa on Monday and then went to Diamond Head Luau on Thursday and it wasn't even close!!!

Thank you Toa Luau for one of our most memorable experiences while in Hawaii!!

The whole crew was great and the variety of activities made this a great value. Snorkeling reef was a lot of fun. Even on a rainy day this is a great trip.

I’m really glad I chose this tour for my first snorkeling experience among various options! The two instructors were very experienced and taught us everything in great detail. It was also very reassuring to have instructions in Japanese. I decided to rent a wetsuit on the day, and they were very accommodating with that as well. Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and nice, making for a very enjoyable time. Thanks to this tour, I was able to learn how to breathe properly and clear my ears. We snorkeled from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other for an hour. Afterward, they explained where we swam by showing us an aerial view of Hanauma Bay, which was also moving. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any turtles, but I was able to see a lot of fish.

色々なツアーがある中から初めてシュノーケリングをする私はこのツアーを選んでとてもよかった！と思います。
インストラクターのお二人は経験豊かでとても丁寧に細かいことまで教えてくださいます。日本語で教えてもらえることもとても安心です。ウェットスーツを当日借りることにしましたが、それにも快く対応してくださいました。ツアーに参加されている方々も皆さん気さくでいい方ばかりでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。呼吸の仕方と耳抜きをこのツアーに参加したお陰で私は習得できました。1時間ハナウマベイの端から端までシュノーケリングします。終わってからどこを泳いだかをハナウマベイを上から見て説明してくださり、それも感動します。残念ながら亀には会えなかったですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。

Well organised excursion to see the Arizona Memorial with sightseeing of Honolulu surroundings. There was also an option to add on more to this trip eg the Missouri ship. A little more time at the Pearl Harbour centre would have been better, however the short time at the actual Arizona Memorial was as per the rules of the memorial, and not set by the tour itself. The film before the trip to the actual memorial was excellent. I am mobility impaired and was using a walker, and found my needs amply catered for, and was made to feel valued and welcome.

We had a great time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay with Blue Hawaii Divers. I am not a great swimmer, but our guide helped make me feel comfortable. I felt at ease even when we were out in deeper parts of the bay (~20 ft, I’d guess). We saw so many fish. Snorkeling is a must-do experience, and I think paying for a guided tour is worth it for their expertise and tips. We compared several guided snorkel options before booking this one, and we found this one to be the best value.
Just some other info: we met the group at Hanauma Bay rather than getting picked up, and it was easy to find the meetup spot. Everyone wears an inflatable life vest. The guides had water and chips for everyone after. They also took pictures with a GoPro during our snorkel activity, which were made freely available on the company’s Facebook page.

I thoroughly enjoyed Germaines Luau especially since it was on the beach.
The food was very good, the show was outstanding.
This has been by far the best luau that I have attended and would
come back and do it again.

We had so much fun, our tour guides really made the experience fun with their humor. Would definitely go back next time were in Hawaii.

After boarding the cruiser and heading out about ten minutes, we started in order. Since we were going to do it, we chose the highest course. As we sat on the bench together and lifted our bodies, we floated back and gradually rose higher and higher. There were moments when it shook violently, causing a sense of fear, but the breathtaking views made us forget all that. Looking at the sparkling blue sea and sky with Diamond Head in sight, the experience ended in no time. I highly recommend the highest course if you're going to do it. The feeling of fear probably isn't much different. Lastly, since you can dip your lower body in the sea, wearing swim trunks is recommended.

クルーザーに乗り十分程沖に出て順番にスタート
どうせやるならと一番高いコースへ。
ベンチに2人で腰掛け身体を浮かした瞬間、後ろにふわっと浮いてどんどん上に上がって行きます。たまに激しく揺れて恐怖を感じる瞬間もありましたがとにかくそれを忘れる程の絶景。とにかくキラキラ輝く青い海と空にダイヤモンドヘッドを見ているとあっという間に終わりが来ました。やるなら一番高いコースがオススメです。たぶん恐怖感に大差ありません。最後に海に下半身をつけられるので下は海パンがオススメです。

All I can say is it was exactly what we wanted. Great Great and Great!

I was right to do it with my friends ^ ^
It was so much fun!!!!!!!
I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii~ ^ ^

友達とやって正解でした^ ^
とても楽しかったです！！！！！
またハワイにきたらやりたい〜^ ^

I was a bit worried about parasailing since I'm not good with heights, but my sister really wanted to try it, so I decided to give it a shot!!! At first, I was scared, but once we went up, I was amazed by the incredible view☆ I asked the staff to take pictures from below (which costs extra), but once we were up there, I realized I had some spare time and regretted not bringing my phone with me, haha. I really wanted to take pictures from the sky too!!!

The landing was also handled well, and it was soooo much fun☆ Next time I go, I definitely want to bring my phone up with me and challenge myself again (^ー^)

パラセーリングで、高いところが苦手で初めはどうかな。。。と思っていたのですが、妹からのしたいという希望があり挑戦してみました！！！初めは怖かったけど、上に上がったら最高の景色に感動しました☆下からの写真はスタッフさんにお願いしたのですが(有料です)、上に上がったらいがいと余裕もあり携帯を持っていけばよかったと後悔w　上空からの写真も撮りたかったーーー！！！
着水もしてもらって、とーーーっても楽しかったです☆
次に行ったときもは、しっかり携帯も上空に持っていってチャレンジしたいと思います(^ー^)

This is my second time in Hawaii! This time, my wife and I went parasailing for the first time.

We had a great time with two other Japanese couples and a family with a Japanese wife, making a total of four groups.

The pickup was on time and very close to the hotel, which was easy to find.

It was early in the morning in mid-October, but the wind felt nice as we went higher and higher, and my wife and I were super excited to see the boat getting smaller!

The view of Waikiki Beach and the famous hotels from the ocean was truly amazing!

The price was reasonable, but tips are separate, so be sure to prepare for that!

ハワイは2回目！今回は思いきり遊ぶぞということで妻と初パラセーリングでした。

同じ日本人カップル2組と奥様が日本人のご家族と計4組で当日は楽しませてもらいました。

迎えも時間通りにホテルのすぐ近くまで来てくれてわかりやすかったです。

10月の中旬の朝一番からでしたが風も気持ちよくドンドン高くなっていき、ボートが小さくなる姿に妻とテンションマックスになりました！

沖から見るワイキキビーチや有名なホテルの景色も本当に最高でした！

お値段も手頃でしたがチップは別なので用意は必要ですよ^_^

It was really great. There were a lot of dishes, but it was a bit difficult to line up. The show was wonderful.

すごく良くよかったです。料理は沢山ありましが、並ぶのが少し大変でした。ショウは素晴らしいものでした。

When being picked up by the shuttle bus, we had to wait quite a while because someone who was supposed to get on at a certain hotel didn't show up by the scheduled time. I was getting frustrated, thinking, "What if we miss the pool opening time?" but we managed to make it just in time.
The attractions offered a mix of thrilling rides and relaxing experiences, and we had a great time. Even though we were a couple of middle-aged folks, we unabashedly returned to our childhood, squealing with joy.

迎えのバスにピックアップしてもらう際、あるホテルで乗るはずの人が予定時刻になっても現れずずいぶん待たされてしまいました。「プールの開園時間に遅れるのでは…」とイライラしましたが、どうにか間に合いました。
アトラクションはスリル系あり、のんびりゆったり系ありで十分楽しめました。当方アラフィフのおじさんおばさんでしたが、恥ずかしげもなくキャーキャーと童心に帰っちゃいました。

It was the best experience! The staff were very kind, which was great. You can see all of Waikiki, and the blue ocean was wonderful.

最高の経験でした！
スタッフの方がとても親切だったので良かったです。
ワイキキを一望できるし青い海も素敵でした。

On the day of the tour, the highway was closed, and I had to take a detour, which made me late for the meeting time. However, when I approached the ticket counter, they informed me of available times and accommodated my request for a change. Tiffany, who guided us with the buggy, was very cute and took interesting photos and videos for us. She was very enthusiastic about providing service, and we had a great time. The scenery was also beautiful, and it was a very satisfying tour.

当日、高速が封鎖されており回り道をしたため、
集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが、
チケットカウンターにて申し出たところ、
空きがある時間を教えていただき、変更まで対応いただきました。
バギーのガイドをしてくれたティファニーがとっても可愛く、
写真やムービーも面白く撮影してくれました。
とてもサービス精神旺盛で楽しむことができました。
景色もとても綺麗で、大満足のツアーでした。

I participated in a class starting at 3 PM. After watching a video at the shop on the first floor of the hotel, we walked to the ocean. We practiced on land before taking turns surfing. There were about 10 people in the group lesson, with 3 instructors. They taught us while occasionally mixing in some broken Japanese. For now, everyone in my family was able to stand up. As for whether we were actually riding the waves, that's a bit questionable... I was able to enjoy surfing in Hawaii!

15時からのクラスに参加しました。ホテル1階のお店でビデオを見てから歩いて海へ。陸で練習してから順番に波乗り。グループレッスンで10人くらいいました。先生は3人。時々片言の日本語混ぜながら教えていただきました。取りあえず家族は皆立つことは出来ました。波に乗っているかというと少しあやしいかな‥
ハワイでサーフィンを楽しむことができました〜

This was my third experience with parasailing (the first in Hawaii). The height of 150 meters was exhilarating! The deep blue color of the ocean below was something I had never seen before, and it was truly moving. After enjoying a brief aerial float, I plunged into the sea, and I couldn't help but laugh.

After our turn, it seemed there was a malfunction with the equipment, although the cause was unclear. Unfortunately, the family waiting after us had to return to the port without being able to fly, and I felt very sorry for them.

パラセイリング自体は３度目の経験(ハワイでは初めて)でした。
さすがに150ﾒｰﾄﾙの高さは気分爽快！特に見下ろす海の色が深い青色で、あんな海の色を見るのは初めてで感動しました。しばしの空中遊泳を楽しんだ後は海にジャボン。思わず笑ってしまいました。
私たちの順番が終わった後、原因ははっきりしませんでしたが器具に不具合が生じたらしく、後に控えていた親子は飛べないまま港に帰ることになり、彼らには大変気の毒でした。

As the title suggests, I was nervous watching others ride, but once I actually got on, it felt amazing. The pilots were also really funny, and I was able to laugh the whole time I was on board.

However, I think it's better to have a light meal before riding, as the boat can sway quite a bit, especially with the wind.

タイトルの通りで、他の人が乗っているのをみて、緊張しましたが、実際に乗ってみると、最高に気持ち良かったです。
また、操縦士さんたちもとっても面白い人たちで、乗っている間、ずっと笑っていられました。

ただし、風が吹けば船の移動も含めてかなり揺れるので、乗る前の食事は軽めにしておいたほうがいいと思います。

My family enjoyed the UTV experience and the outstanding view of the Kaulua Ranch!

I surprised my daughter with a lei service, and she was shocked and very happy. Coming to Hawaii really lifted her spirits. Since they were fresh flowers, I couldn't bring them back to Japan, but they made for great memories in photos.

娘にはサプライズでレイサービスをうけたので，彼女はビックリ，とても喜んでいました。ハワイに来たんだと，一気に気分が盛り上がりました。生花なので，日本には持って帰れませんでしたが，写真に撮りよい思い出になりました。

I felt安心 (safe) with Veltra again this time.

It seems that there are no activities in Japan where you can ride on the back or belly of a dolphin, so I think it's irresistible for dolphin and animal lovers. I was nervous before it started, but Mike, who explained in Japanese, was kind and thorough, and he watched over us, so by the time it began, I was excited. Trainer Maria was energetic and gentle, and I was able to relax and have a truly great experience. It was a Halloween event, but since it was sunny, it wasn't cold (it was cold after taking a shower, though), and once I got dressed, my hair dried quickly, so there were no problems at all.

Veltraさんで今回も安心できました。

日本ではイルカの背中やお腹に乗るアクティビティはないようなので、イルカや動物好きにはたまらないと思います。
始まるまで緊張していましたが、日本語の説明のマイクさんが親切丁寧に説明して下さって、見守ってくれたので、始まる頃にはワクワクしてきて、トレーナーのマリアさんは元気で優しく、リラックスして本当に良い体験ができました。
ハロウィンの参加でしたが、晴れていたので寒くなく(シャワーを浴びると寒かったですが)服を着たら髪もすぐ乾いて何の問題もなかったです。

They picked me up on time at the hotel lobby. The driver was a very fun man. I had a great time with the multinational people who shared the same boat. Motion sickness medication is a must. And above all, the boat staff were the best! They were playful and fun! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely do this again.

時間通りホテルのロビーに迎えに来てくれました。ドライバーの方大変楽しい男性でした。同じボートに同乗した多国籍の方々とも和気あいあい、盛り上がりました。酔い止め薬は必須です。そして何と言ってもボートのスタッフさん最高！
お茶目で楽しい！　ハワイに行く事があったら是非またします。

The captain was very fun and made us feel relaxed. I had asked him not to drop me in the water (the sea), but it felt like he expertly adjusted it so that only my lower body, or rather my butt, would touch the water—probably on purpose. It was a laughing and enjoyable time.

キャプテンがとても楽しい方で和みました。水(海)に落とさないでとお願いしてたのに絶妙にお尻というか下半身だけ水につくよう調整された気がします、たぶんわざとかと。笑って楽しい時間でした。
