All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

After getting off the shuttle bus, they explained the precautions in Japanese and gave us the reservation ticket. Everything else was in English. We entered the waiver agreement through the QR code on the reservation ticket beforehand. We arrived exactly at check-in time at the designated reception (if you arrive early, you will be turned away). It seemed that eight buggies were grouped together, and the check-in times were strictly divided. After showing our driver's license, the driver received a wristband. We were given a helmet, goggles, and something like a neck warmer to protect against dust while watching a video on how to drive and safety precautions. Among the eight groups, we were the only Japanese. They gathered everyone to explain various things, but sadly, I understood very little. I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. I felt like I was just following along by instinct.

The scenery was wonderful, and the buggies were fun, and it wasn't as dangerous as I expected, so it was good. However, there were too many things I didn't understand, so I give it four stars. I don't expect full Japanese support, but I would have appreciated something like an explanation sheet for tourist spots. I really felt my lack of English skills... I couldn't shake off the feeling of being out of place (crying).

送迎バスを降りると事前の注意事項を日本語で説明してくれ、予約票もらう。あとは全て英語のみ。予約票のQRコードから免責事項に対する同意書を先に入力しておく。チェックインの時間ちょうどに所定の受付へ。（早めに行ったら追い返される）。8台のバギーが1組になっており細かくチェックイン時間が区切られている様子。免許証を見せ運転者はリストバンド装着される。ヘルメット、ゴーグル、ホコリよけのネックウォーマーみたいなのを渡され準備しながら運転方法や注意事項の動画を見る。8組のうち日本人は私達だけ。皆を集めていろいろ説明してくれるが、悲しい事にほとんど分からず。英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思う。感覚でついて行った感じ。
景色は素晴らしいし、バギーも楽しいし思ったより危なく無かったので良かったけれど、分からない事が多すぎたので星4。日本語対応まで求めないが観光スポットの説明用紙などあれば嬉しいなと思いました。自分の英語力の無さを痛感…アウェイ感が否めませんでした（泣）。

It was my first cruise experience. I was worried about seasickness, but the duration was short, and it was not a problem at all. The sandbar was a bit shallow due to timing, but I enjoyed snorkeling and turtle watching. The staff's hospitality was great, and the BBQ hamburgers on board were especially delicious. Thank you very much.

初めてのクルーズ体験でした。船酔いを心配していましたが、時間も短く全く問題ありませんでした。サンドバーはタイミングもあるので、浅瀬という感じでしたが、シュノーケルやウミガメウオッチなど楽しめました。スタッフさんたちのもてなしも感じが良く、中でも船上BBQハンバーガーはとても美味しかったです。有難うございました。

Awesome way to experience much of what Kualoa Ranch has to offer in 3 hours! Would love to spend the whole day, but this is a great way to get a taste of history, culture and adventure.
Easy tracks to travel and drive on. The group setting sizes were great and the guides were awesome. (knowledgeable, funny and informative)
Good amount of driving and plenty of stops along the way.
I can't fault this adventure (maybe some water stops along the way as a small improvement). We went on a perfect day. It was hot but not while you drive and when you stop, you can find shelter when you need it.
Thoroughly recommend and I would do it again with a group of friends

The guide was great. The weather was good (the skies were clear after a little morning rain). The UTVs were a lot of fun. Loading and unloading was faster than I thought. Very easy to take the photos that we wanted.

The lobster for dinner was thick and tasted just like Japanese crab, it was truly delicious! The final jazz live performance was also moving. It was a great experience to overlook Waikiki and see the fireworks, I'm glad I participated!

ディナーのロブスターが肉厚で味が日本のカニのようで本当に美味しかったです！
最後のジャズライブにもじーんとしました。
ワイキキを一望して花火が見られたのもいい経験で、参加してよかったです！

We couldn't make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, and we wanted to snorkel with a group of 13. I thought we would bring our own fins and shoes, but instead, we had to leave our shoes in a basket outside the boat and go in barefoot. We were able to borrow fins and goggles. My mother waited on the boat. In August during Obon, the sun was strong and there was no place to hide, so I think it's good to have towels or something. The wind was strong enough to blow away hats. We were the only Japanese people there, and everything was in English, so we struggled a bit, but a kind female staff member helped us in Japanese using her smartphone. I didn't realize that drinks were free after snorkeling, so the person who was informed was able to drink. There was a menu, and they made beautiful cocktails for us.

ハナウマ湾の予約が取れず、シュノーケルやりたいと13人で予約。フィンとか靴は持っていくものだと思ったら、逆に船の外のカゴに靴は置いて行って裸足で入らなきゃいけませんでした。フィンやゴーグルは借りられました。母は船の上で待ってました。8月のお盆は、日差しが強く隠れるとこがなかったのでタオルとかあると良いと思います。帽子は飛ばされるような風です。日本人は私達だけで、全部英語だったので苦労しましたが，優しい女性スタッフがスマホで日本語で教えてくれました。シュノーケル後は一杯無料ということが分からなかったので教えてもらった人は飲めました。メニューもあって綺麗なカクテルを作ってもらっていました。

Fishing on a boat was my first experience, and it was incredibly fun!
In the clear waters of Oahu, I was able to interact with many fish.
From the boat, I had a wonderful view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
I caught two fish, but some skilled anglers caught 6 to 7.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but on the way back, I encountered a sea turtle!
I think it depends on the weather, but the boat sways quite a bit, so those who are sensitive should definitely take motion sickness medication.

船での釣りは初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しかったです！
オアフ島の透き通った海の中で、沢山の魚と触れあうことができました。
また、船上からはワイキキの街並みとダイヤモンドヘッドを一望することができ、とても素敵でした。
私の釣果は2匹でしたが、上手な方は6〜7匹釣れていました。
残念ながらイルカはいませんでしたが、帰り際にウミガメと遭遇しました！
天候によるとは思いますが、船はかなり揺れますので、弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。

Overall, the evaluation is high.
There are staff at the reception who speak Japanese, and even if you go with just a swimsuit, everything you need is provided by the school.
Before the lesson, they explain through a video, and before entering the sea, they use actual boards to teach you how to ride the waves, so I think even beginners can enjoy it.
Although it was a bit tough for me, who lacks stamina, as I was sometimes rushed by the instructor while resting, surfing while looking at the beautiful streets of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was the best!

全体的に総合評価は高いです。
受付には日本語が話せるスタッフがいて、水着のみで手ぶらで行っても必要なものは全てスクール側で用意してくれます。
レッスン前に動画説明、海に入る前にも実際のボードを使用して波の乗り方をレクチャーしてくれるので初心者でも楽しめると思います。
疲れて休んでいても講師に急かされたりして体力のない自分には少しきつかったですが、ワイキキビーチの綺麗な街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらのサーフィンは最高でした！

Four groups board the motorboat at the same time and take turns flying. While waiting on the boat, you endure the rocking and enjoy the view. During the parasailing, it's an otherworldly experience! The view is great and the wind is nice. However, depending on your physical condition, you might feel dizzy even during the aerial stroll.

4組同時にモーターボートに乗船して順番に飛びます。船で待っている間は船ね揺れに耐え見学です。バラセーリング中は異次元体験です❗️眺めよし風よしです。が、体調によっては空中散歩でも酔うみたいです。

I went on a day when the water level was about waist-high. I enjoyed snorkeling, canoeing, and paddleboarding to my heart's content. The music on the boat created a nice atmosphere, and the donuts were delicious.

I opted for a pickup service from downtown Honolulu, but on the way there, the driver almost left me behind without confirming my name. When I tried to tell him my name, he didn't listen and closed the door on me. After a while, he opened the door again, saying that I was indeed on the reservation and could get on, but that initial interaction left a very negative impression on me.

腰くらいの水位の日に行きました。
シュノーケリング、カヌー、ボードなど時間いっぱい思い思い楽しみました。
船内ミュージックも雰囲気良く、ドーナツも美味しかったです。

ホノルル市内から送迎をオプションで付けましたが、行きの際、ドライバーの方から名前の確認もされずに置いていかれそうになり、名前を伝えようとしても聞いてもらえずドアを閉められました。
しばらくしてやっぱり予約されてたから乗ってくれとドアを開けられ無事に乗れましたが、その時の対応だけとても印象悪くマイナスでした。

Some attractions and slides may be closed depending on the day and time, and there are height restrictions for children. A large sign provides a map of the attractions along with height restrictions, while a smaller sign shows the current open and closed status. Since some slides may close at certain times, I think it's better to go for the slides you want to try first. If you can speak English, you can check with the staff. For those like me who can't speak it, I think it's fine to just enjoy the slides you want to try 😊.

その日ごとや時間帯によってクローズになっているアトラクションやスライダーが有るのと、子供さんは身長制限が有ったりするので大きな案内板にアトラクションの地図と身長制限、小さな案内板に現在のオープンクローズの状況が確認出来ました。時間帯によってクローズになってしまう物も有ったりしましたので滑りたいスライダーが有れば先に行った方が良いと思います。英語が話せる方はスタッフに確認すれば良いと思いますか
私のように話せない方はとりあえず滑りたい物を利用したら良いと思います😊

I had wanted to order something I had seen others enjoying for a while, but I couldn't because there were no pictures on the menu. However, this time I was able to order it. It was called Chili Cheese, which is topped with chili bean sauce and cheese sauce over fries, and it was very delicious. They also provided a dipping sauce that was tangy, similar to Caesar salad dressing, and something like jalapeños. The pizza comes with two pieces, about the size of a large pizza in Japan, along with a set of fries. So if you want fries, be careful not to order extra, as you'll end up with quite a lot of fries.

以前から他の人が持ってるのを見て美味しそうだったのでオーダーしたかったけどメニューに写真が載ってなかったので頼めずにいたのですが今回オーダーする事が出来ました。チリチーズという、ポテトの上にチリビーンズソースとチーズソースがかかっててとても美味しかったです。ディップ用にシーザーサラダのドレッシングっぽい酸味のあるソースとハラペーニョみたいなのをくれました。ピザは日本のLサイズ位の2ピース分にポテトがセットで付いてきますので、ポテトを食べたい方は別でポテトをオーダーしてしまうとなかなかの量のポテトを食べる事になっちゃいます。

The banana boat can hold six people, and while it goes fast, it's not so fast that you'll be thrown off, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

We happened to see a lot of honu (sea turtles), so we were able to see them up close. They said we were lucky, so it might be rare to see them.

Other activities (like canoeing) may have limited availability, so you might need to wait your turn.

However, since we had plenty of time, there was no need to rush.

バナナボートは6人乗りで、スピードは速いけど振り落とされるような速さではないので、安心して楽しめる。

たまたまホヌがいっぱいいたので、近くで見ることが出来た。
運がいいと言っていたので、中々見ることが出来ないのかも？

他のアクティビティ(カヌーなど)は、数に限りがあるので、順番待ちする必要があるかもしれません。

ただ時間に余裕があったので、そんなに焦る必要はない。

The buggy experience was a lot of fun! The driving time was surprisingly long, and the range of activities was wide, making it enjoyable.

However, the dust was intense, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and you might want to bring skincare products like facial cleansers as well.

バギーの体験はとても楽しかった！
運転時間が意外と長くて、行動範囲が広いので楽しい。

ただ砂埃がすごい、全身砂だらけで汚れた服で行った方がいいし、顔も洗顔などのスキンケア商品を持って行った方がいいかもしれません。

I was able to see both sea turtles and dolphins. I was also hoping to see tropical fish while snorkeling, but that didn't happen.

ウミガメもイルカも見ることができました。シュノーケリングで熱帯魚を見ることも期待しておりましたが、それはかないませんでした。

Two first-time participants.
The staff on board were very friendly, and we had a great time.
There were some changes from last time, and it was meaningful to participate!

初参加２名。
船中のスタッフは、とってもフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。
前回と少しずつ変化していてそれなりに参加することに意義あり！でした。

We participated as a family! My high school and middle school sons were hesitant to join, but once they got on the canoe and rode the waves, they shouted that it was amazing!! It feels really great, so if you're unsure, I definitely recommend participating!

家族で参加しました！
高校生と中学生の息子は参加を渋ってましたが、実際にカヌーに乗って波に乗ると最高と叫んでいました！！
本当に気持ち良いので迷ったらぜひ参加をお勧めします！

We participated as a family of four, including our grandchild. Our grandchild was thrilled feeding the turtles and little birds. The birds even perched on our shoulders and heads, which was enjoyable. The dolphin show was also great. The staff was friendly.

家族孫入れて4人で参加。孫はカメや小鳥の餌やり等で大はしゃぎしてました。
小鳥は肩や頭に止まったりしたので楽しめました。イルカショーも良かったです。
スタッフはフレンドリーでした。

Fantastic experience, the whole process is smooth, the staff are friendly and accommodating

This tour was amazing and so much fun. The tour guides were fantastic. The views of Oahu while ziplining and on the platforms were stunning. I have ziplined in NZ & Fiji but this would be my favourite. The ATV ride was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this tour.

The weather was clear on the day, but it was reported that the sandbar was not visible, so the experience ended with activities offshore.

当日の海の状況で天候は晴れでしたがサンドバーが現れてないとのことで沖でのアクティビティ体験で終わってしまいました

The staff were friendly, and I had a great experience. This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii; I used a different company last time, and compared to them, the number of photos taken and the variety of shots were very limited, which was disappointing.

スタッフの方も気さくで、楽しい体験ができました。ハワイでのパラセーリングは2回目で、前回は別の会社を利用しましたが、そちらに比べて写真を撮ってくれた枚数や撮影のバリエーションが非常に少なく残念でした。

Snorkeling and ocean leisure activities (such as banana boat rides, boating, and stand-up paddleboarding) are included, making it enjoyable for a variety of people. The snorkeling area is very shallow, so even those who are not good swimmers can enjoy it safely. The staff is friendly and speaks both Japanese and English.

シュノーケルと海のレジャー（バナナボート、ボートやサップ等）がついていて色々な人が楽しめます。シュノーケルもとても浅いエリアなので、泳ぎが苦手でも全然安全に楽しめます。スタッフは日本語、英語ともにOKでフレンドリーです

It was a tour where I could do everything I wanted at once: exploring sandbars, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling. The staff was friendly and accommodating in both English and Japanese, which made me feel very secure. Meals and drinks were included, and I could also experience the atmosphere of international cuisine.

サンドバー散策、うみがめ観察、シュノーケルとやりたいことが一度でできるツアーでした。スタッフも親切で英語も日本語にも対応しているのでとても安心です。食事や飲み物も含まれていて海外の食事の雰囲気も感じられます

It was my first time paragliding. I had a wonderful experience in favorable weather. The two guys were very friendly and communicated in English, explaining things with clear gestures. The wind on the boat was pleasant, and the scenery was amazing.

パラセイリング初めてでした。
天候に恵まれた中で、素敵な体験をすることができました。お兄さん２人も、英語でのコミュニケーションでしたが、とてもフレンドリーで、わかりやすいジェスチャーを入れながら説明してくれました。
ボートでの風も気持ちよく、景色も最高でした。

Tour consists of sandbar and coral reef with amazing burger lunch in-between. All gears for snorkeling were provided as well

I knew in advance that the tide wouldn't go below zero, but on this day, it felt like the tide was gradually rising. It was fun to do various activities like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many of them came close.

潮位がマイナスにならないことは事前に分かっていたのですが、この日は段々潮位が上がっていく感じでした。
サップやカヤックなど、いろいろなアクティビティができて楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、餌のパンをもらえて、魚がたくさん寄ってきます。

We were the only Japanese people there, and I was anxious because I didn't understand English, but I managed to understand through gestures and by watching how others did it! At first, it was scary because it swayed a lot, but after that, it just felt amazing!! When we landed, they made sure our feet touched the sea, which was so much fun! I could feel the beautiful scenery and breeze of Hawaii, and it was the best experience! The location was also easy to find, near Kaka'ako, and after we finished, we went shopping and took a walk before heading back! If you love heights, you should definitely try this!

私たちしか日本人はおらず・・・英語がわからず不安でしたが、ジェスチャーや、前の人のやり方をみて理解！
飛び始めはゆらゆら揺れるので怖かったですが、そのあとはただただ気持ちいい！！
降りる時には海に足がつくように楽しませてくれました！
ハワイの景色と風を感じられて、最高の体験ができました！
場所もカカアコ近くでわかりやすく、終わってからも買い物や散歩をして帰りました！
高い所が好きな人はやるべきです！

Previously, I participated in a tour where we were driven around, but this time we joined a self-driving tour. It was a dynamic experience that was thrilling and allowed us to feel nature up close. The guide spoke English, and although I couldn't understand everything, they made a great effort to communicate in a fun way. They also took photos at various points, making it a wonderful experience.

以前は、乗せてもらうツアーに参加しましたが、今回は自分達で運転するツアーに参加しました。
迫力があり、自然を間近に感じるダイナミックな体験ができます。
ガイドの方は英語ですが、（全部理解はできませんでしたが）
一生懸命楽しく伝えようとして頂きました。ポイントでは写真も撮ってくださり、良い経験になりました。

Meeting at 5:40 AM before sunrise is indeed early, but we were still among the fourth or fifth group to enter the site. We rented a paid option for a parasol and chair set, which I highly recommend due to the strong sunlight. In the morning, there are relatively fewer people, making it enjoyable. Around 10 AM, we had an incredibly lucky surprise when a monk seal suddenly came up on the beach to rest, just about 10 meters from our base. My grandchild had been talking about wanting to see one since before coming to Hawaii, so it was great that we could make that happen by chance. There is a law requiring a distance of over 15 meters from monk seals, so it’s also a good memory that our base had to be moved quickly.

日の出前の５時４０分集合はさすがに早いが、それでも現地では４組〜５組めの入場グループでした。有料OPでパラソル・チェアセットをレンタルしましたが、日差しが強いのでぜひお勧めします。午前中はヒトも比較的少なく楽しめます。１０時頃に私たちのベース基地から１０ｍくらいの場所に突然にモンクシールが砂浜にあがってきて休憩するという超ラッキーサプライズに出会えました。一緒の孫がハワイに来る前から会いたいと話していたので、偶然にも叶えてあげられてよかったです。モンクシールには１５ｍ以上距離を取らなければいけない法律があるので、我々のベース基地は速攻移動させられたのもいい思い出です。
