All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Choosing this zipline among the several options on Oahu was the right decision. Since we had some time on the bus, we stopped by Laie Point and unexpectedly got to take stunning photos of the scenery. The staff was very cheerful and made the experience a lot of fun. The view from the top of the mountain was also amazing, and I really enjoyed my time in Hawaii. It does cost a bit, but the experience is well worth it. This is a tour that you won't regret trying at least once.

オアフ島内いくつかあるジップラインの中でこちらを選んで正解でした。行きのバスでは時間に余裕があったため、ライエ・ポイントに立ち寄っていただき、思いがけず絶景の写真が撮れました。スタッフがとても明るく、大変楽しませてくれました。山の上からの景色も最高で、ハワイを満喫できました。少しお金がかかりますが、得るものも大きいです。一度は体験して損がないツアーです。

It shakes quite a bit! It's better to take precautions against seasickness for peace of mind.

The pickup was 15 minutes late, which made me very anxious, but I really enjoyed the activity itself! I didn't check the usual tipping rates and ended up giving a very small tip, so I felt quite sorry about it later.

かなり揺れます！
船酔い対策していた方が安心でしょう。

ピックアップは15分遅れで
とても不安になりましたが
アクティビティ自体はとても楽しめました！
チップの相場を調べておらず
かなり少ない額のチップしか渡せなかったので
後々とても申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

My second-grade son and my parents, who are over 70, participated without any issues and had a great time. The harnesses and safety belts were thoroughly checked and secured, which made me feel very safe.

小学2年生の息子や70を超えた両親も参加しても、何の問題もなく楽しめました。
ハーネスや安全帯もしっかりと確認してつけて頂き、とても安心できました。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my grandparents and kids, making it a three-generation trip. We signed up for activities that were suitable for toddlers, and since the reviews were good, it turned out to be the best memory. My daughter got seasick and was a bit down, but my son, although scared, enjoyed sitting in the driver's seat. The adults had some alcohol and got really excited! I was also curious about the sunset, but I was really pumped in the morning!

今回おじいちゃんおばぁちゃんと、子連れで、３世代でのハワイでした。
幼児から参加可能なアクティビティで、口コミも良かったので、申し込んだところ、最高の思い出になりました。
娘は船酔いしてテンション低めでしたが、息子も怖がりつつも、運転席に座らせてもらったり、楽しんでいました。
大人はアルコールも入って盛り上がりました！！
サンセットも気になるけど、朝一でテンション上がりました！

I made a reservation for 120 meters, and I think it was indeed 120 meters, but I felt a thrill and excitement that made it feel even higher. Ultimately, if you get friendly with the captain, he seems willing to accommodate requests on a whim. This is because the operation of the parasailing (managing the wires and adjusting the boat's speed) depends on the captain's skills, and in my case, it was outstanding (he operated the boat while singing along to the background music!).

Both the captain and the crew member were locals, and they could understand some basic Japanese, while basic English was also sufficient for communication.

Another memorable aspect was the Japanese person who provided transportation. He had a slightly suspicious vibe with his broken Japanese, but it was amusing, and he was quite kind, which made for a good memory in a way.

One point to note is that the boat goes quite fast and can be quite bumpy (the parasailing itself can also be shaky), so if you are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

120mで予約して、結局120mだったとは思いますが、それ以上の高さを感じるほど楽しさとスリルを味わえました。
結局は船長さんと仲良くなれば、ノリでリクエストに答えてくれる感じがありました。というのもパラセイリングの操作(ワイヤーの操作、ボートの速度調整)は船長の操船技術次第ですが、私の時は抜群でした。(BGM流し歌いながらボートを運航！）
船長、クルー(１名)いずれも現地の方でしたが、片言の日本語は通じますし、片言の英語でも十分通じます。
また他に印象的だったのは、送迎の日系の方です。片言の日本語で若干胡散臭い感じがしたのですが、それがまた面白く、それでいて結構親切で、ある意味良い思い出となりました。
注意点としては、ボートが速度も出て結構揺れるので、(パラセイリング自体も揺れますが）、酔いやすい方は、酔い止めは必須と思います。

On the day of the event, due to traffic regulations, the pickup from the hotel was changed to a pickup about a 10-minute walk away. Parasailing is an activity unique to resort areas, so I think it will be a memorable experience. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful.

当日、交通規制があったためホテルピックアップではなく10分くらい歩いたところからの送迎に変更になりました。
パラセーリングはリゾート地ならではのアクティビティなので、思い出に残ると思います。
景色もすごく綺麗でした。

The sea was more beautiful than I expected, and I could see fish, sunken ships, and planes very clearly. I was also able to encounter a sea turtle, which was great. However, not only the submarine but also the boat to get there swayed quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be prepared.

思っていた以上に海がキレイで、魚や沈んだ船や飛行機などよく見えました。海ガメにも出会えたし良かったです。ただ、潜水艦だけでなくそこまで行くための船もかなり揺れますので乗り物酔いされる方は相応の覚悟が必要かと。

I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.

Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)

Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです！ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、１時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり！！シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました！　また、参加したいです！！

We participated as a family of four. Since we chose the 150m option, it felt quite high and gave the impression of going far up. The boat crew was cheerful, and we had a great time. Yano, who provided our transportation, was the best. We had a bit of time before boarding, but during the wait, we were told to cool off in the car, and after docking, they offered us drinks, showing great hospitality.

One thing to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. Even so, both of my adult daughters were feeling unwell.

家族４人で参加しました。150ｍにしたので、相当高く、遠くまで上がった印象です。ボートのクルーも明るく、楽しめました。送迎してくれたヤノさんは最高です。乗船まで少し時間があったのですが、待機時間中は車の中で涼んでおいてと言われたり、寄港後は飲み物をくれたりサービス精神満載でした。
一点だけ、ボートが相当揺れるので酔い止め必須です。それでも娘二人（成人）はダウン状態でした。

When booking this my wife and I have never done it before so we were on the edge about doing 500’ or 1000’. We chose the 1000’ and jumped on the boat with Captain Tom and Mike.

The humor they showed made it easy to relax and feel comfortable. They knew exactly what they were doing and made us and the rest of the people on the boat truly enjoy our time and experience. We would most definitely do it again if the opportunity arises.

Thank you Captain Tom and Mike!

All three instructors were unable to speak Japanese, but we were able to enjoy the zip line without any difficulty thanks to their gestures. If small children couldn't land due to their light weight, the instructors would cover for them, so there were no issues.

In addition to the zip line, we used a lot of energy climbing up with just our arms and crossing a bridge to the next zip line. However, being surrounded by the forest felt really nice.

You can buy a photo from the return pad for $15.

One thing that caught my attention was that all the participants were Japanese, but not a single person gave a tip. In America, tipping is part of the culture and can be a significant part of the salary, so it's important to tip to avoid leaving a bad impression of Japanese people. My husband and I each gave $20 while saying "Thank you very much!" The instructor was very happy and shook our hands. It's much nicer for both parties to give generously, so always make sure to tip!

インストラクターをしてくれた三人は全員日本語が話せない方でしたが、ジェスチャーで伝わってたので難なくジップラインを楽しむことができました♪小さい子でも体重が軽くて着地できなかったりした場合はインストラクターがカバーしてくれるので問題なしです。

ジップライン以外にも、腕だけで上に上がったり、次のジップラインまで橋を渡ったりと、体力かなり使います。けど森林に囲まれてかなり気持ちがいいです(^_^)v

写真は帰りのパッドから一枚$15で買えます。

最後気になったのが、参加者が全員日本人だったのですが、誰一人チップを渡していなかったことです。アメリカはチップ文化でチップがお給料の場合もあるし、日本人の印象が悪くなるので絶対に渡しましょう。Thank you very much！と言ってわたしと旦那は一人$20ずつ渡しました。インストラクターしてくれた方はすごく喜んで握手してくれました。ケチらず渡す方がお互い気持ちがいいので必ずチップは渡しましょう╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

My husband and I participated together. It was both of our first time parasailing, and we were nervous, but once we tried it, we talked about how glad we were to be flying (o^^o). It was such a great experience, so I highly recommend it as a memory of Hawaii! ☆

旦那と二人で参加しました。
二人ともパラセーリングは初めてでドキドキでしたが、いざやってみて飛んでる間やってよかったねと話しました(o^^o)
とても良い体験なのでハワイの思い出におすすめしますっ☆

It was the best honeymoon!
This time, I participated in the 150m experience.
The boat driver was friendly and had a great vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Also, the person at the reception counter spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して参加する事が出来ました.
We gathered directly at the yacht harbor, but there were no large, clear signs for Beltra, so I think it would be better if there were more prominent signs displayed.

最高の新婚旅行になりました♪
今回150mで参加させてもらいました。
船の運転手の人も気さくな人で、いい感じのテンションでさらにを飛ぶ事が出来ました。
あと、受け付けカウンターの人も日本語が出来る方だったので、安心して参加する事が出来ました。
私達はヨットハーバーに直接集合でしたが、ベルトラ などの看板が無かったので大きくわかりやすい看板が表示したらもっと良いと思いました。

Fantastic and energetic staff. Customer service was wonderful. Saw many Dolphin immediately. The guides in the water during the snorkeling time. Water was a little choppy and several customers were sick. Can’t do one thing about that, however, there needs to be another water cooler on the main level and one on the top level. Hydration is a must in these situations and water needs to be readily available for these people. Also, bigger cups. Lastly, during the swim on your own time, we saw a bunch of fish, but the wind was blowing the boat away from the swimmers and it was difficult to catch up. I would suggest a long rope line in the water with a orange float on the end that people can swim to when the boat is blowing away from the swimmers. Quick lunch a was good and well planned. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend this tour!!!

I participated with my first-grade daughter and my family of three. Since it was my daughter's first time snorkeling, I was a bit anxious, but I felt reassured seeing a wide range of ages participating, from young to old.

We practiced snorkeling at a shallow sandbar, and during the actual event, the location was deep enough to make even the parents anxious. However, we were not rushed and were able to enjoy snorkeling at our own pace. It seems that my daughter's first snorkeling experience became a fun memory, as she wrote about it in her summer vacation diary.

On the boat, Yukiko provided humorous explanations in Japanese, which made it enjoyable. Thank you for taking so many great photos at the sandbar!

P.S. The suspicious-looking old man who came to greet the bus at the dock seemed to be in charge of singing and narration? His deep voice added to the atmosphere of the tour. All the other staff were also kind, which was great.

小学1年の娘と家族3人で参加しました。娘がシュノーケリングは初めてだったので不安でしたが、老若男女の幅広い世代が参加していて安心しました。

浅いサンドバーで、シュノーケリングの練習をして、本番では親も不安になる程深い場所でしたが、急かされることもなく、自分たちのペースでシュノーケリングを楽しめました。娘も初めてのシュノーケリングが楽しい思い出になったようで、夏休みの宿題の絵日記に書いていました。

ボート内ではゆきこさんが日本語でユーモアたっぷりの説明をしてくれて楽しかったです。またサンドバーでも映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださりありがとうございました！

P.S. 船着場でバスを出迎えに来る怪しげな風貌の老人は、歌・ナレーション要因？ 渋い声でツアーの雰囲気を盛り上げます。他のスタッフも皆親切で良かったです。

We rode horses in a line, five family members together in the great outdoors. It felt like a scene from a movie and was truly moving. Our 6-year-old child rode a regular horse at the front, guided by a staff member. The other participants walked alone without staff assistance, but the horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front of them properly. However, since the sun was strong, 20 minutes was just the right amount of time. I recommend this experience for families with small children as well as for grandparents!

大自然の中を馬に乗って家族５人1列に並んで歩きました。映画のワンシーンのようで感動でした。
6歳の子どもも普通の馬に乗り、一番前でスタッフが引っ張ってくれます。その他の人はスタッフは付かず一人で歩きますが、お馬さんがしつけられていて前の馬の後をきちんとついて歩きます。
ただ日差し強いので20分でちょうど良かったです。
小さいお子さん連れにもおじいちゃんとおばあちゃん連れにもオススメします！

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to the Japanese guide!
You can leave your belongings locked up on the beach, so it's safe. (That said, it's better to avoid bringing large sums of money or anything that would be a problem if stolen...)
You can also take photos with a GoPro.
We had a lot of blurry pictures, so that was a bit disappointing...

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、日本語ガイドで安心して楽しめました！
荷物も鍵をかけて、ビーチに置くので、安心です。（とはいえ大金とか、盗難でこまるものはやめた方が良いですが…）
GoProで写真も撮っていただけます。
私たちはピンぼけとかが多かったので、それだけ残念でした…

We participated as a group. The boat has three floors: the first floor is a dining area, the second floor is a bar where you can listen to live performances. It can accommodate a large number of passengers. I think it's great for groups and families since it's lively. Of course, there were also many couples. The boarding time was quite long, I believe. We were able to enjoy the sunset and the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel on Fridays (for five minutes) nicely.

グループで参加しました。
船は３階まであり、１階が食事スペース、２階がバーで生演奏を聞ける
大人数乗船可。
にぎやかなのでグループ、ファミリーで参加するにはいいと思います。
もちろんカップルの方もたくさんいました。
乗船時間は結構長かったと思います。
サンセットと金曜のヒルトンホテルの花火（５分）はいい感じで見れました。

We had a blast with the tour on the Waikiki water with two kids. The location we visited had little crowds so we can have all the ocean to ourselves! Both of my kids were the first time snorkeling. Their friendly staff made sure their live vests are secured and helped them into the water. There were a lot of beautiful fishes o look at. Did not see turtles, but that's OK since we would be visiting the Turtle beach at the north shore later. Overall, we are very satisfied with the activities and services they provide.

I was taken care of three years ago as well. I was moved to see that some of the staff members I had met before remembered me. My daughter, who participated previously, was 7 years old and scared to swim in the deep sea, so my wife stayed close to her, and I couldn't see much, which made me want to try again. This time, my daughter is now 10 years old and happily went into the sea, where she was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles) clearly.

On the boat, all the staff members were very kind and cheerful, making the time pass quickly. However, one thing I found disappointing was that they introduced a new two-story boat that can accommodate about 70 people. Because of this, there was less opportunity for conversation with the staff, and when swimming to see the dolphins and honu, there were too many people, leading to frequent collisions among guests, which was unfortunate.

３年前にもお世話になりました。
スタッフは以前お世話になった方もおられ、しかも私の事を覚えてくれていたことには感動しました。以前参加した娘は７歳で深い海で泳ぐのが怖いと海に入れず、妻が付きっ切りとなりあまり見れなくてリベンジしました。今回は娘も１０歳となり平気で海にはいりイルカとホヌをしっかり見れたと喜んでおりました。
船上でもスタッフの皆さんがとても親切で明るく盛り上げて頂き、あっと言う間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。 ただ一つ残念に思ったのは新型の船を導入し２階建ての船となっており７０名ほど乗れるそうですが、その分スタッフとの会話も減りイルカやホヌを見に泳ぐときも人が多すぎて密集し、お客さん同士がぶつかることが多々あり残念と感じました。

My 8-year-old daughter, who is quite timid, had an amazing time! We took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was relieved that she didn't get seasick. Two women who were on the tour with us ended up vomiting on the way back, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must!

ビビリの8歳の娘もめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！酔い止めも飲んでいったので、心配した船酔いも大丈夫でした。ツアーで一緒になった女性2名は、帰りに吐いていたので、心配な人は酔い止め必須です！

I had done parasailing in Guam before, but since it was my husband's first time, we participated together!! We were both super excited!! The view of Honolulu's skyline and Diamond Head from above the ocean was thrilling!! My husband seemed a bit scared (laughs). I was dropped into the sea about three times, but it felt great for a moment!! Mahalo!!

パラセーリングは、グアムでもやったことがありましたが、夫が初めてということで参加しました！！2人で大興奮！！海の上から見るホノルルの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドにも大興奮！！夫は少し怖かったようです（笑）途中で3回程海に落とされたけど一瞬で気持ちよかったです！！マハロ〜！！

I participated with my son.
Since there was a Japanese guide, my son was able to join with peace of mind.
They provide guidance on the appropriate course based on the sea conditions, which is reassuring.
I would like to use this service again next time.

息子と一緒の参加でした。
日本語のガイドなので、息子も安心して参加できました。
海の状況によって適切なコースを案内してもらえるので、安心です。
次回もまた利用したいです。

We had the great opportunity of taking this dream tour about a mile north of the Waikiki beach where the water is much more clear than the crowded Waikiki shore. We did snorkeling, kayak, paddleboard, water slide, and whole nine yards! The water is a little rough that day, but we still had so much fun! The staff were friendly and very helpful and encourage us to try different activities. Kevin, one of the staff was very helpful to get us all buckled up in lifevests, gear up for water activities. Thank you!

There were few dolphins. Even when I could see them, they were quite deep down (or far away), and I was busy chasing after the dolphins that kept getting further away. I had imagined a scene where I could swim relaxed in parallel among a large group of dolphins. I was disappointed because there were no corals and the visibility wasn't that great. However, the staff's response was wonderful.

イルカが少なかった
見れてもかなり底の方（OR離れている）で、どんどん離れていくイルカを追いかけるので忙しく。。
沢山のイルカの群れの中、並列でリラックスして泳ぐようなイメージだったので・・
サンゴも無い場所で透明度もそこまで高くなかったでがっかりした。
ただメンバーの方の対応は素晴らしかったです

It was a tour with a significant element of luck, but I was able to swim safely. It became a very good memory. It's a shame it was far away.

運要素が大きいツアーでしたが、無事泳ぐことができました。とてもよい思い出になりました。遠いのが残念でした。

The crew was very attentive. From the moment we were greeted at the dock to the end of the cruise they were very personable and engaging. Great music and food. Overall, an outstanding experience for me and my significant other. Highly recommended!

Ok, it was a boat ride. However, it was the first thing we did and it allowed us to get on the water in a large catamaran. It allowed us to meet other people and the crew was great. Saw a turtle! Great view from the water back on the city. Great way to start the week.

I participated on Saturday, the day after my arrival. Since I wanted to go to the market in the morning, I signed up for the afternoon course. The staff at the reception spoke fluent Japanese, and there were no issues at all. I waited a little, but they guided me smoothly. The rubber boat used to reach the offshore boat was quite fast and took on the waves directly; my daughter got a bit seasick for a moment, but the beautiful sea and sky made us forget that! There were three pairs of Japanese mothers and daughters, and the two cheerful young men who welcomed us explained everything in Japanese, which eased any worries. Gradually, we ascended to 150 meters in the air... It felt like a roller coaster without the scary drop, and I was amazed at how beautiful the sea, sky, and mountains were. This is definitely something you should try! The splashdown at the end felt great too. I thought it would have been nice to combine it with snorkeling since I was there. Highly recommended! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful experience!

到着翌日の土曜参加した。朝はマーケットに行きたかったので昼のコースを申し込みました。受付の方も流暢な日本語で何のトラブルもなく、少し待ちましたがスムーズに案内していただきました。沖のボートに着ける為のゴムボートはなかなかのスピードかつ波をもろに受けて、同乗の娘は瞬間船酔いしてましたが、それも忘れるほどの美しい海と空！合わせて3組とも日本人母娘で、迎えてくれた陽気なお兄さん2人は日本語で説明してくれて不安も無く、少しずつ150メートル上空へ…ジェットコースターのような落ちる感がないので怖さは全くなく、海と空と山がこんなに美しいの驚きました。これは絶対に飛ぶべきです！最後にちゃぽんと着水したのも気持ち良かったです。せっかくだからシュノーケルとセットにすれば良かったなと思いました。超オススメです！スタッフの皆様素敵な体験有難うございました！

I read that I could choose from several tours at Kualoa, so I thought that would be the case when I participated, but by the time we departed, the tour and the order were already decided.

It mentioned that water activities were an option, so I brought my swimsuit, but I couldn't use it at all and it just became extra baggage... I was disappointed.

The instructions said to wear long pants and athletic shoes, so I went in long pants in the heat, but I was one of the few participants dressed that way. I wonder if that information wasn't provided when booking through other means than VELTRA? The long pants were hot, and I wanted to change.

The tour was supposed to start at 9:15, but the morning meeting time was 6:50, the bus arrived at 7:00, and we got to Kualoa Ranch at 8:00... Honestly, having to wait an hour with not many places to sit was quite tedious, especially if you have small children. I would have preferred to let them sleep for another hour before participating.

I understand that the weather can be unstable in the mountains, but with the heavy rain pouring down, the bus was soaked through the windows, and if there was leaking, I would have appreciated some simple ponchos or raincoats as a service.

Being told to get on the bus back to Waikiki immediately while it was raining heavily was honestly shocking... At that rate, the photos we bought will be ruined by the rain.

クアロアについてから、いくつかのツアーの中から選べるような説明が書いてあったので、そう思って参加したのですが、出発する時点で既に参加するツアーも順番も決まっていました。
ウォーターアクティビディも選択肢にあるように書いてあったので水着を持って行っていましたが、全く使えずただの荷物に。。がっかりしました。
荷物には、長ズボンと運動靴と書いてあったので、暑い中長ズボンで行きましたが、そんな格好で行ったのは参加者のうちでわずか。。VELTRA経由でないときはそんなこと書いてなかったのかな？長ズボンは暑くて着替えたかったです。
ツアー開始が9:15だったのに、朝の集合時間は6:50、バスが来たのは7:00、クアロアランチに着いたのは8:00。。あまり座るところもない中、正直開始まで1時間もあるのはかなり持て余します。小さい子供と行く場合はなおさらです。あと1時間寝てから参加させてあげたかったです。。
山なので天候が不安定なのは分かりますが、ザーザーぶりの雨で、バスは窓からビチョビチョ、雨漏りもするのであれば、簡単なポンチョやレインコートを配るくらいのサービスはして欲しいです。
雨が最高に強く降っている中、ワイキキに戻るバスにいますぐ乗ってと言われたのには正直引きました、、あれじゃ買った写真も雨でダメになりますよ。
