All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We experienced parasailing at 150 meters for the first time at the request of my daughters, who are in 6th and 4th grade. We signed up for the 1 PM session and were a bit anxious due to reviews about delays in transportation, but a cheerful driver arrived right on time to pick us up.

The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki during the parasailing was amazing and refreshing! My husband and I, who are afraid of heights, were quite nervous due to the altitude, but our daughters were absolutely thrilled. I'm glad we chose the 150 meters! At the end, thanks to the veteran captain's skill, we were gently dropped into the water. Everyone in the tour was watching, and he made sure our heads didn't go under the water! I was impressed by his technique!

Although it was a calm day, the boat rocked quite a bit! Our family took motion sickness medication, but we still felt a little queasy... I think taking motion sickness pills is essential. The boat crew and the driver were all cheerful, making the experience enjoyable! They offered a photo service for an additional $30, but since we were able to take pictures as a family, we didn't opt for it.

小学6年、4年の娘の希望で初めてのパラセーリング150mを体験しました。
13時の回に申し込みし、送迎が遅れるというクチコミにドキドキしてましたが、時間ピッタリに愉快なドライバーさんがお迎えに来てくれましたよ。
パラセーリングは、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキの眺めが最高で爽快でした！高所恐怖症の私と旦那はあまりの高さにビクビクしてましたが、娘たちは大満足。150mで良かったです！ 最後は、ベテランキャプテンの技で海の中へボチョン 笑 ツアー参加者全員をみてましたが、頭は海に入らないようにしてくれているんです！テクニックに感動しました！
ただ、穏やかな日でしたが、ボートはかなり揺れます‼︎ 私たち家族は酔い止めを飲んでましたが、それでも少し気持ち悪くなりました…酔い止めは必須かと思います。
ボートクルー、ドライバーの方皆さん陽気で楽しく参加できました！写真撮影サービスは追加で30ドルと言われましたが、家族で撮り合い出来たので頼みませんでした。

It was a wonderful and fulfilling tour. Thanks to a cute, petite Japanese staff member who supported us from the pick-up to the drop-off, I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind throughout. Not only did I get to see dolphins up close, but the giant turtle I encountered while snorkeling was even more impressive than I had imagined! It came so close that I could almost touch it, making me feel like I could ride it to the Dragon Palace. We also had the freedom to enjoy marine sports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which my daughters absolutely loved. I have participated in various tours in Hawaii, but this Dolphin University ranks among the top one or two for the best experience, and I definitely want to join again. The photos taken by the staff were so beautiful that I ended up purchasing them unexpectedly out of sheer emotion.
*Note: There were some people who seemed to struggle with seasickness, so if you're prone to it, don't forget to prepare motion sickness medication in advance!

とても素晴らしい充実したツアーでした。
お迎えから送迎までずっとサポートしてくれた日本人の小柄な可愛い女性スタッフがいてくれたおかげで終始安心してツアーを楽しめました。
期待していたイルカを目の前で見れたのはもちろん、想像以上にシュノーケリングで見た巨大な亀がこれまた凄かった！手を伸ばせば触れてしまうくらいの距離まで近づけて、本当に人間が乗って竜宮城に行けそうって感じでした。
カヤックやスタンドアップパドルなどのマリンスポーツも順番に自由に遊べて、娘たちも大盛り上がりでした。これまでハワイで色々なツアーに参加しましたが、このイルカ大学は１-２位くらい最高の内容で、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。スタッフの方が撮影した写真もあまりに素敵だったので感動のあまり予定外に購入してしまいました。
※注意：船酔いで大変そうな方もいらしたので、酔いやすい方は事前の酔い止め準備を忘れに！

It was a perfect day with calm waves and good weather, where neither the boat nor the submarine swayed, and visibility was excellent. By chance, there were only Japanese people, so all the explanations were in Japanese, which was lucky. The scuba diving instructor was very knowledgeable about fish and provided detailed explanations very kindly. It was a quick one-hour underwater exploration.

波も穏やかな良い天気で、船も潜水艦も揺れず、視界も良好で言うことなしの日でした。たまたま日本人ばかりになり、解説は全て日本語になりラッキーでした。スキューバダイビングのインストラクターもされているとのことで、魚のことについても詳しく、とても丁寧に解説してくださいました。あっという間の1時間の海底探索でした。

I was moved to see wild dolphins. I went into the sea four times, and by the fourth time, many people were too tired to go in, but I was able to see the dolphins swimming right below me. It definitely requires a good amount of stamina. The marine sports were also fun.

野生のイルカを見れて感動しました。4回海に入り、4回目は疲れて海に入らない人が多かったですが、4回目に真下で泳ぐイルカたちを見れました。結構、体力が必要です。マリンスポーツも楽しかったです。

My overall impression of the experience was good. What I liked most about the activity was seeing the fish while snorkeling. I also saw a few turtles bobbing in and out of the water. There was a boat passing with some dolphins visible which was a nice surprise. My advice for future participants include taking precautions for any motion sickness because the water can make the boat rock a bit depending on the waves. Otherwise its a nice experience overall. It was great at the end of the trip when our shoes were lined up before exiting the ship.

The tour crew was warm, kind, and made it possible for us to spend a wonderful time in the long-awaited paradise of the sea. While the weather is important, I truly felt that the smiles and friendly responses from the crew were essential to the tour experience. Thank you very much!

ツアーのクルーの皆さんも温かく、優しく、楽しい時間を念願の天国の海で過ごすことが出来ました。
天気も重要ですが、クルーの方々の笑顔や気さくな対応が本当にツアーにとっては重要だなと感じたクルーズでした。
有難うございました！

I was able to make a great reservation that included a shuttle bus to Tantalus Lookout. Since it was the day of arrival, I could relax at the hotel until just before the reservation, and it was nice that it was only about a 5-minute walk from the hotel (RYHW). The appetizers, pasta, main course, and dessert were all delicious, and I was able to get a refill on the bread, making my first day in Hawaii very enjoyable. I was told that those who came without a reservation would have a table available after three hours, so it was definitely the right choice to book early.

タンタラスの丘へのシャトルバスもついて、お得に予約出来ました。
到着日だったので、予約直前までホテルでのんびり休んでから行けたこと、ホテル(RYHW)から徒歩5分くらいと近かったのも良かったです。
前菜、パスタ、メイン、デザートどれも美味しく、パンのおかわりも頂け、ハワイ初日を満喫しました。
予約なしで来店された方は3時間後ならお席が用意出来ます！と言われていたので、早めに予約をして正解でした。

This is my second visit! It was disappointing that the Ohana was under maintenance, but the slides and wave pool were thrilling and fun. The shuttle service was right on time, and I was able to sleep soundly both going and coming back.

参加2回目です！目玉のオハナが点検中だったのは残念だったけど、スライダーも波のプールも迫力あって楽しかったです送迎も時間ピッタリで、行きも帰りもぐっすり眠れました‍♀️

Buying the tickets on line fast and easy. We drove from Waikiki about 45 minutes lots of parking when you arrive.
Checking in for our adventure was easy, all of 5 minutes.
The Staff are really nice and helpful. Our guide for our UTV ride Natasha was great! She kept us entertained.
We booked the 2hr ride which we are glad we did, wished it was longer though we were having so much fun.
Great views of the mountains valley and ocean too!
Be prepared to get dirty on this adventure we had dry dust and we were black . So dont wear white.
They also have a place to eat and shop while you are there.
Have fun and enjoy!

I participated with my two children.
During the cruise, we encountered many honu (sea turtles)!
There were even baby honu.
The staff pointed out the direction on the clock, so we didn't miss anything.
At the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and practiced snorkeling.
For lunch, we had delicious hamburgers with freshly grilled patties! My kids went back for seconds!
We also enjoyed snorkeling around the coral reefs.
This is a highly recommended tour that even toddlers can participate in without any difficulty.

こども2人連れて参加しました。
クルーズ中には何匹ものホヌに遭遇！
赤ちゃんホヌもいましたよ。
スタッフが時計の何時方向にいるよーとおしえてくれるので、見逃すことなし。
サンドバーでは、ビーチバレーをしたり、シュノーケルの練習。
ランチは焼きたてのパテを挟んだハンバーガー！とっても美味しかったです。
こどもはおかわりしてました！
そしてサンゴ礁のあたりでシュノーケルを満喫。
幼児でも無理なく参加できるおススメのツアーです。

My son wanted to see an authentic fire show, so we participated for the first time.

There were many foreign guests. The bus guide's high-energy talk was in English, and it was enjoyable.

The entire show was well-structured, combining experience, participation, and viewing, and we had a great time. If the food had been a bit tastier, it would have received a "perfect!" rating.

息子が本場の炎のショーを見たいとのことで、
はじめて参加しました。

外国人のお客さんが多かったです。
バスガイドさんのハイテンショントークは
英語でしたが楽しかったです。

ショー全体も、体験～参加～観賞と
上手く構成されていて、十分楽しめました。
ごはんがもう少し美味しければ
『最高でした！』評価でした。

I went in February.
I was very satisfied to see many whales.
It became a good memory.
It was difficult to take photos, but it was fun.

2月に行きました。
たくさんのクジラを見ることができて大満足でした。
良い思い出になりました。
写真を撮るのは難しかったですが、楽しかったです。

We participated as a family of four. It was a lot of fun, and even our elementary school children could experience it just like adults. You can fully enjoy the nature of Hawaii. The zip line with the great views was the best.

家族４人で参加しました。
小学生の子供たちでも大人と同じように体験でき、とても楽しかったです。
ハワイの自然をたっぷり味わえます。眺めの良い景色の中のジップライン最高でした。

The staff only spoke English, but we were able to communicate somehow, so I really enjoyed it! There are seven of them, and I think that’s just the right amount, not too many or too few. I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii.

スタッフさんが英語のみでしたが、なんとかコミュニケーションが取れるので、とても楽しめました！7本あるのですが、多くも少なくもなく丁度良いと思います。またハワイに行ったら行きたいです。

We experienced it as a three-generation family, and everyone was very satisfied. It felt like we were on Soarin' at Tokyo DisneySea.

親子3世代で体験しましたが、全員が大満足でした。東京ディズニーシーのソアリンに乗っているみたいでした。

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

We departed with five groups, including my family. My five-year-old daughter and I were the second group. As we floated up, we quickly ascended, and a wonderful view unfolded before us. It felt like sitting on a swing, so even my five-year-old daughter could enjoy it. However, by the time we reached the fourth and fifth groups, even those of us who usually don’t get motion sickness found it quite tough. Since the speed is adjusted to ascend, those who are prone to motion sickness might end up feeling nauseous. Even for those who don’t usually get motion sickness, it would be wise to take some anti-nausea medication just in case.

私たち家族含め5組での出発となりました。
私と5歳の娘は2番目でした。
フワッと浮き上がると、みるみる上昇し素晴らしい景色が広がります。
ブランコに座ってるような感覚なので、5歳の娘でも楽しむことができました。
ただ、4組目5組目ともなると普段乗り物酔いをしない私たちでさえ、酔いが結構キツかったです。
上昇させるためにスピードを出したり緩めたりするので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は吐いてしまうかもしれません。
乗り物酔いしない人でも念のため酔い止めを飲んでおいてほうがよさそうです。

My beginner daughter successfully rode the waves! We signed up for a group lesson, but luckily, it ended up being a private lesson with just the two of us on the day.

初心者の娘も見事に波乗り成功！グループレッスンで申し込みましたが、ラッキーなことに当日は娘と二人きりで実際はプライベートレッスンでした。

At Sandbar, the experience on the boat and in the water was more comfortable than I imagined. For lunch, we had burgers with grilled meat prepared on the boat! And the best part is that drinking beer while in the ocean is something you wouldn't think is possible in Japan. We started playing beach volleyball with just 2 or 3 people, but before we knew it, more people joined in, and it became a blast! Snorkeling was also great, as we had about an hour to move freely and enjoy ourselves!

サンドバーでは、想像以上に過ごしやすい船の上と水の中。お昼は、船の上で焼いてくれたお肉を挟んだハンバーガーを！そして、何より海のに入りながらビールを飲んでもオッケーというのは、日本では考えられませんね。ビーチバレーも、最初は2、3人で初めてていましたが、いつの間にか人が増えて盛り上がり、最高でした！シュノーケリングも、約１時間も自由に動けるので、楽しめます！

This time, we were able to see dolphins perfectly again. However, I wonder if the water was murkier than last time because it was rough... The staff members were very friendly, and the activities were fun.

今回もばっちりイルカが見れました。
ただ前回より海が濁ってたのは、荒れていたからなのかな...
スタッフの皆さんはとてもフレンドリーで、アクティビティも楽しいです。

It was amazing!
There were a variety of slides.
The lazy river didn't flow very much, but I'm glad it was sunny.

最高でした！
スライダーの種類が豊富。
流れるプールはあまり流れなかったけど
晴れてよかったです。

I went snorkeling with my daughter while holding hands and saw dolphins. It was a fleeting moment, but it became an unforgettable memory. However, it was unfortunate that my wife, who joined us, had to hold onto the aloha bucket due to seasickness until the end.

娘と手を繋いでシュノーケルしながらイルカを見ました。一瞬の出来事でしたが忘れられない思い出になりました。ただ、一緒に参加した妻は、船酔いで最後までアロハバケツを抱えていだ事だけが残念でした。

This was my second time parasailing, so I decided to challenge myself at the highest altitude of 150 meters! Up I went smoothly into the sky. It felt amazing! I thought, "Oh, this isn't so high," but after a while... wait, am I going up again? It's so high! I don't mind heights, but it's a bit scary... However, I was able to enjoy a lot of time in the air, and by the end, I felt like I could go even higher! I'm really glad I chose the highest option. My wife, who isn't fond of heights, seemed to enjoy it while saying it was scary, especially since we were with our child. And then, at the end, we plunged into the sea! Since I was the first to jump, I didn't realize there was an option for that and foolishly shouted out loud. The crew was cheerful and made it lively, and after it was all over, it felt like a little cruise, allowing us to enjoy even more after parasailing!

パラセーリングは二回目だったので、今回は一番高い150mにチャレンジ！
スルスル〜っと上空へ。気持ちいい〜！
なんだ、そんな高くないじゃないかと思っていたら、しばらくして…ん…また上がってる？
た・高い〜！
高いところは嫌いじゃないけど、ちと怖い…
でも、たっぷり空中散歩を楽しめるし、終わってみると、まだまだいける！
なんて思ってしまうくらいで、一番高くしてよかったと思います。
高いところが苦手な妻も、子供と3人だったので怖い〜と言いながら、笑顔で楽しめたようです。
そして、最後に、海にドボン！
一番最初に飛んだので、そんなオプションがあると思っていず、迂闊にも大声をあげてしまいました。
クルーの方たちも、明るく盛り上げてくれて、終わった後も、ちょっとしたクルーズのようで、パラセーリングの後も、たっぷりと楽しめました！

It was my second time parasailing in my life. The view of Diamond Head from above was spectacular! However, I suffered from seasickness and sunburn... what a mistake.

人生2度目のパラセーリングでした。上空から見たダイヤモンドヘッドも絶景！
ただ、船酔い&日焼けには懲りました、、、失敗。

Really nice experience guided by really nice and professional people. Highly recommended.

I was able to encounter a pod of wild dolphins! As soon as we spotted the dolphins, we hurriedly put on our fins and masks. At the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea one after another and swam to the location guided by the staff. When we looked underwater at the signal, we could see dozens of dolphins swimming below us! The water was incredibly clear, providing excellent visibility. It was a great experience.

We raced the boat to the best spot, waited, and signaled; I believe that if any of these elements were missing, the timing wouldn't have worked out. It truly felt like a long-established tour!

Even after getting back on the boat, the pod of dolphins swam alongside us. (This seems to be rare.) At this time of year, there were also baby dolphins, and we were able to see the dolphins jumping, which made for an exciting time.

While the time with the dolphins was wonderful, there were a few things I would like to see improved, which is why I’m giving it one less star.
- I would have liked it to be clearly stated that we needed to swim quickly on our own to see the dolphins. (I had a parent in their 60s who is not a strong swimmer with me.)
- The time we could see the dolphins underwater was very brief. (Once the pod passed by, we got back on the boat and moved straight to the water play point.) I would have liked to have more time to see them in the sea again.
- I purchased photos, but none were taken underwater. (It was the maximum number of passengers on board that day, so perhaps the photographer couldn't manage?) It felt like there were many photos of children. While there were photos taken on the boat, the commemorative photos with the staff were in a conveyor-belt style, so we weren't looking at the camera. It was disappointing, especially since it cost $79.

The staff were cheerful, and the boat was lively with dancing and singing, making it a good experience where I could feel the beauty of Hawaii's nature.

野生のイルカの群れに会えました！
イルカを発見すると急いでフィンとマスクを装着。船長さんの合図で次々に海に飛び込み、スタッフの誘導する場所まで泳ぎます。合図で海中を見ると何十頭のイルカの群れが下を泳いでいくのが見えました！海は透明度抜群で視界もクリア。いい体験ができました。
ベストな場所へ船を走らせ、待機し、合図、このどれが欠けてもタイミングは合わなかったと思います。さすが老舗ツアーだと思いました！
船に上がってからもイルカの群れが船と並走。(珍しいそうです。)時期的に赤ちゃんイルカもいて、イルカのジャンプも見ることができ、ワクワクな時間が続きました。

イルカとの時間は素適でしたが、いくつか改善してほしいこともあり星マイナス1。
・イルカを見るために急いで自力で泳ぐ必要があることは明記してほしかった。(泳ぎの得意でない60代の親が一緒でした。)
・イルカを水中で見れたのは一瞬だった。(群れが通り過ぎたら船に上がってそのまま水遊びポイントへ移動してしまう。)もう一度海の中で見る時間をとってほしかった。
・写真を購入したが海の中で1枚も撮ってもらえなかった。(当日は乗船可能人数maxだったのでカメラマンの手が回らなかった？)子どもの写真が多い印象。船の上では写っていましたがスタッフとの記念写真も流れ作業状態なのでカメラ目線になっていなくて…。79ドルもしたのに残念です。

スタッフも明るく船内もダンスや歌で盛り上がり、ハワイの自然を感じられる良い体験はできたと思います。

This tour is the best way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our curious and random questions. He did an excellent job of corralling such a large group in time to move from one exhibit to the next. We would have been lost without him. My favorite part of the tour was the boat ride out to the Arizona Memorial. Even though the memorial was closed at the time, seeing the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri up close out on the water was quite humbling and awe-inspiring. Visiting Pearl Harbor is a top Oahu destination, and this tour is the best way to go!

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

I had previously gone snorkeling at another location, but it wasn't as detailed and kind as this experience. This time, I felt that the explanations provided in advance were very thorough and considerate, ensuring that participants could enjoy themselves without any worries. Additionally, during the snorkeling, I was constantly watched over and guided, which allowed me to fully enjoy the wonderful underwater world without getting lost. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to swim for such a long time, which I hadn't expected. I would definitely like to use this service again.

以前別の場所でシュノーケリングをしたことはありましたが、今回のようにきめ細かく親切ではありませんでした。
今回はとても懇切丁寧に事前に説明いただき、参加者に不安のないよう安心して楽しめるよう配慮を感じました。
また、シュノーケリング中も常に見ていて誘導していただいたおかげで迷うことなくすばらしい海の世界を堪能することができました。
また、こんなに長い時間泳がせてもらえるとは思っていなかったのでうれしい驚きでした。
また、利用されていただきたいと思いました。

Great snorkeling! We saw tons of green sea turtles, fish and spinner dolphins! The sail after the snorkel was fantastic as well!
