All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

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。

I flew with my 5-year-old son! Since we were at 150 meters, I was worried that it might be too high for a first time, but once we did it, there were no problems at all. My child was so excited, saying, "We're flying higher than the birds!" Right after we landed, he said he wanted to do it again. It was the most fun activity we did in Hawaii.

5歳の息子と二人で飛びました！
150メートルにしていたので「やっぱり初めてにしては高すぎたかな」と心配になったのですが、やってみたら全然問題ありませんでした。
「鳥よりも高く飛んでるね」と子供も大興奮！降りた直後に「またやりたい」と行ってました。
ハワイで一番楽しかったアクティビティです。

This was the highlight of our family trip! Our 1 year old had a blast! The boat didn’t give me sea sickness so that’s a plus! They serve one of the best burgers I’ve had and they serve alcohol! From captain to the guy that was talking about safety and all the cool info he knew to the guy with the guitar... it was such a great experience! Will definitely come back when we come back to the island. Don’t hesitate and book your tickets! It’s worth every dollar!

The scenery of nature alone was very moving! The views from every destination were truly amazing, and when I thought, "This is where that scene was filmed!" during the location tour, I was thrilled! I read in some experiences that the lunch was disappointing, but it seemed to suit my taste, and it was delicious. The Japanese guide was a bit broken, but it was still better than everything being in English!

大自然の景色だけで、とても感動しました！
行く先々から見える景色が本当に最高で、ロケ地巡りも、あのシーンがここで！って思うと、感激でした！
体験談では、お昼ご飯が残念って書いてあったのを読みましたが、私の口には合っていたようで、おいしかったです。
日本語ガイドもかたことではあったけど、やはり、全て英語よりは良かったです！

I visited on August 10th.
They generally accommodate English speakers, but they showed us a Japanese video on a tablet for the safety instructions, which helped a lot.
They patiently explained everything in detail, using gestures, so I was able to understand and felt safe while having fun.
The staff were very cheerful and kind, which was great.
We ended up taking our time, and although we ran a bit late, they arranged for our group to be taken back to the hotel.
Since we didn't encounter any other Japanese groups, it might still be a hidden gem for Japanese visitors.

8/10に行ってきました。
基本的に英語対応ですが、安全装置の説明は日本語動画をタブレットで見せてくれたのでよく分かりました。
細かい説明も随時身振りを混ぜながら根気よく説明していただき理解でき、安心して遊べました。
スタッフの皆さんはとても明るく親切で良かったです。
ゆっくり遊んでしまった私たちは終了時間が少し遅くなってしまったのですが、私たちのグループだけでホテルまで送っていただきました。
他に日本人グループに会うことがなかったので、日本人にはまだ穴場なのかもしれません。

After being picked up at the hotel early in the morning, we received a tour briefing from the tour photographer and driver until we headed to the bus. There were quite a few participants that day, so the group was split into two buses. On the boat, there were some very energetic guides, just as mentioned in the reviews, who kept us entertained throughout the trip. Unfortunately, we only saw dolphins once. There were so many people that it was a struggle to swim with the guides. I felt that I would like to participate when there are fewer people. However, it wasn't that we didn't see anything at all; I was really happy when I saw a dolphin swim right underneath me. The snorkeling didn't feature the colorful fish that you often see in pictures, and I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it was my first time swimming surrounded by so many fish, and I really enjoyed it. I felt a bit seasick towards the end and wasn't feeling well, but I was able to enjoy the slide and cheeseburgers. It seemed that there were so many people that activities like stand-up paddleboarding weren't mentioned at all, and only the slide was available. If you want to do those activities, it might be a good idea to communicate that clearly to the guides. It felt like the time went by very quickly, but personally, I was at my physical limit, so I was satisfied with that. However, I thought it would be nice if there were tours that allowed for a more leisurely pace with breaks to enjoy the ocean.

早朝ホテルでピックアップされた後、バスで向かうまで、ツアーのフォトグラファーと運転手さんからツアーの説明を受けました。この日は参加者がかなり多く、バスが2台に別れているとのことでした。船には口コミにあったようにかなりハイテンションなガイドさんたちがいて、終始楽しませてくれました。イルカは残念ながら一度しか見られなかったです。人が多すぎてガイドさんと一緒に泳ぐのも必死でした。もう少し人数が少ない時に参加したいと感じました。それでも全く見れないということもなく、イルカが自分の真下を通っていくのを見れた時は本当に嬉しかったです。シュノーケリングはよく写真で見るようなカラフルな魚という感じではなかったし、ウミガメにも出会えなかったけれど、たくさんのお魚に囲まれて泳ぐのが初めてでとても楽しめました。少し船酔い気味で最後は気分が悪かったですが、スライダーやチーズバーガーも楽しむことができました。サップなどのアクティビティは人が多かったからなのか、全く案内されず、スライダーしか用意されていませんでした。やりたい場合はきちんとガイドさんにお伝えしておくと良いのかもしれません。かなりあっという間に感じましたが、個人的には体力的にあのくらいで限界だったので納得することができましたが、もっとゆっくり時間をかけて休憩も挟みながら海を楽しむことができるツアーがあってもよいのかなぁと思いました。

My husband and I participated together. We skied long distances in the great outdoors. On the third and sixth runs, we were able to ski side by side and film each other, creating precious memories.

After finishing the runs, I felt truly refreshed. The scale and environment felt uniquely Hawaiian.

With two instructors dedicated to the four participants, I felt reassured. The two ladies who joined us were elderly, but they enjoyed themselves as if they were children again. I would love to do this again.

夫と二人で参加しました。大自然の中を、長距離滑走します。また、3本目と6本目は二人で並行して進み、お互いの動画を撮ることが出来たので、貴重な思い出になりました。
滑走し終わった後は、本当にスッキリします。スケールも環境も、ハワイならではという感じです。
4人の参加者に2名のインストラクターが付きっきりで面倒を見てくれるので、安心でした。また、私たちとご一緒したお二人は高齢のご婦人でしたが、子供に返ったように、楽しんでおられました。また、リピートしたいと思います。

The boat was rocking a lot. Even I, who have never experienced seasickness before, felt nauseous, and my family vomited. The people sitting around us were also vomiting.

As soon as we got on the boat, the staff explained that if someone felt like they were going to vomit, they could use a bucket, which was available at their feet. It seems that vomiting is an expectation for the staff as well. People were continuously vomiting, and the staff efficiently handled the mess.

Additionally, there is a restroom on the boat, but it was clogged with other people's waste. Even though I needed to use the restroom, I felt sick looking at the toilet filled with others' waste and held it in.

Finally, we had cheeseburgers on the boat, but the patties were very tough and unappetizing; it was something you couldn't eat unless you were extremely hungry. After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, I continued to feel nauseous, and I spent the next day feeling unwell as well.

船が凄く揺れます。今まで船酔いしたことのない私も酔って気持ち悪かったですし、家族は嘔吐しました。周囲に座っていた人達も嘔吐していました。
船に乗ってすぐにスタッフの方が嘔吐しそうな時はバケツを持っていくとか、バケツは足元にあるとか説明していました。スタッフからしても嘔吐するのは前提なのでしょうね。皆さん次から次へと嘔吐していて、スタッフが手際よく嘔吐物の処理をしていました。
また、船にはトイレがありますけど、トイレは流れずに他人の大便が溜まっている状態でした。私は大便をしたくても他人の大便が多数溜まっている便器を見て気持ち悪くて我慢しました。
最後に、船の上でチーズバーガーを食べるのですけど、このハンバーグがとても固くてまずくて、よほど飢えていないと食べられるような物ではありませんでした。
お昼過ぎにホテルに戻ってからもずっと気持ち悪い状態が続き、翌日も体調が悪いまま過ごしました。

I participated with my sister's family of four and my son, making a total of six people. Originally, it was planned for just my son and me to do the 90M, but due to strong winds, it was deemed unsafe for my 7-year-old son and me, so we were advised to do the 150M with my sister's family in two groups of three instead. We ended up flying without much time to mentally prepare.

Once we ascended to a certain height and got a bit more comfortable, we went up further to 150M. As I leaned back into the harness and got used to the position, I was able to enjoy the view of the distant Honolulu downtown skyline and Diamond Head.

The staff were all very friendly, and it became a wonderful memory. If you're interested in parasailing, I highly recommend this tour.

妹家族4人と私と息子の6人で参加しました。
元々は、息子と2人で90Mの予定でしたが、風が強いので7歳の息子と母親では、危ないという理由で、妹家族と3人×2回で150Mにした方がいいと船で出てから言われ、心の準備も出来ないままに飛ぶ事になりました。

ある程度の高さまで上がって、少し落ち着いて慣れたところまた更に上がって150M
体をロープに預けて体勢も慣れてくると遠くホノルルダウンタウンのビル群やダイヤモンドヘッドなど景色を楽しむことが出来ました。

スタッフも皆さんとても感じが良く、良い思い出になりました。
パラセイリングに興味があるなら、是非オススメのツアーです。

This time, I booked a plan without lunch and with a one-day pass, and I added a cabana reservation. The cabana is a bit pricey, but it provides a space with a roof and curtains, so I didn't have to worry about being seen and was able to relax comfortably on the bed. It comes with mineral water and fruit, and you can also order food by phone, which is great.

Although it's unrelated to the plan, last time I went on a Sunday, it was very crowded, and the wait times for attractions like the slides were long. I couldn't secure a good spot to rest and couldn't enjoy myself comfortably. This time, since it was a weekday, it was relatively empty, the wait times for attractions were short, and there was plenty of space, which was nice. I definitely recommend going on a weekday.

As for the lunch buffet included in the meal plan, there weren't many types of dishes, so personally, I thought a plan without meals might be fine. However, there is the advantage of not having to worry about the hassle of going to buy food or finding a place.

今回はランチなしの送迎と1日券のプランで申込み、カバナを追加予約しました。カバナはちょっと高額ですが、屋根とカーテン付きスペースが確保できるので人目が気にならず、ベッドでゆっくり休めました。
ミネラルウォーターとフルーツが付いていますし、電話で食事注文も出来るので良いです。
プランとは関係ないですが、前回、日曜日に行ったところ、とても混雑していて、スライダーなどのアトラクションの待ち時間が長いし、休憩場所も良い場所を確保出来ず、相席でゆっくり楽しめませんでした。今回は平日でしたのでわりと空いていて、アトラクションの待ち時間が短く、場所も余裕があって良かったです。行くなら絶対平日をおすすめします。
食事付きプランのランチビュッフェは、料理の種類があまり多くなかったので、個人的には食事なしのプランでも良いかなと思いましたが、食事を買いに行く手間や場所を考えなくて済むという利点もあります。

The crew was very attentive and accommodating. We saw dolphins 2 out of the 3 drops and it was just amazing! We highly recommend this excursion ;) Our group ranged from 13 yrs old to 34 and we all enjoyed ourselves

This was a great experience. I do not like the water and get motion sick very easily. However, I could not visit Hawaii without giving snorkeling a try. Dan showed the kids (10 & 12) what to do and gave us time to practice. Seeing how uncomfortable I was, Dan stayed with me and literally held my hand the whole time. I still felt sick by the end from the motion, but the rest of the family did awesome and really enjoyed the experience. Double Dramamine for me next time.

All staffs are greatly professional and friendly.
We want to experience this excursion with your team.
Food is very delicious as well.
Appreciate your kind guide and support us !

Sincerely,

Jin

From August 3rd (Saturday) to August 15th (Thursday), we came to Hawaii for the first time in three years for a family trip, planning to stay for a week on Oahu and five days on the Big Island. I had always wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and with my daughter now in the second grade, we decided to go ahead after referencing many experiences on Veltra.

I was concerned about the impact of the typhoon until the day before, but on the day of the tour, August 5th (Monday), it was clear and we were able to go snorkeling.

Dan came to pick us up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where he was staying, and he shared stories about snorkeling and other topics during the ride, which made for a fun travel reference. We arrived at the Hanauma Bay parking lot around 7:40, and there were already many cars parked. After meeting up with another tour participant's car, we had a total of nine people for snorkeling. The group consisted of our three family members, two students and their parents, and a couple, making a total of nine.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, Dan's wife, Chieko, carefully explained the features of Hanauma Bay, snorkeling, and the preparations, which made us feel secure about trying it. My daughter, being the youngest at second grade, made me a bit worried at first, but Chieko supported her throughout, and she became the best at snorkeling in our family, beaming with joy saying, "I had fun!"

At 8 AM, the seawater temperature was still a bit cold, and although we hadn't signed up for wetsuits, after hearing Chieko's advice, we decided to wear them. It was great that they had prepared enough for everyone and ensured safety while snorkeling.

The conditions at Hanauma Bay had some waves, so we experienced being pushed back while swimming and also moving forward with the current. At first, I was focused on getting used to the breathing technique for snorkeling and using fins for the first time, but soon I started to see fish and wanted to see them better.

My daughter held hands with Chieko and swam while relaxed, which reassured me. I enjoyed snorkeling while holding hands with my wife. At one point, Chieko spotted a turtle, and we were lucky to see it up close, about three meters away!

Even with just about an hour of snorkeling, it felt long underwater, which was a new sensation for me. Everyone who participated in the tour seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory from this trip.

Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko. I would love to participate again when we come back to Oahu! (●＾o＾●)

８月３日（土）～８月１５日（木）まで、家族旅行で、オアフ島に1週間とハワイ島に５日間の宿泊予定でハワイに３年ぶりにやってきました。ハナウマ湾で、シュノーケリングをいつかはしてみたいと思っていたので、娘が小学２年生になったのを機に、ベルトラさんで多くの体験談を参考にさせていただき決めていきました。
前日まで台風の影響はどうだろうかと気にかけていましたが、ツアー当日の８月５日（月）は快晴で、シュノーケリングを行うことができました。

ダンさんが滞在している、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで迎えに来てくれて、車内でもシュノーケリングのことやそれ以外のお話もしてくれて、楽しく旅行の参考にもなりました。
ハナウマ湾の駐車場は７：４０くらいに到着して、すでにたくさんの車が停まっていました。もう一台のツアー参加者さんの車と合流して、私たちは９名でシュノーケリングを行っていきました。ツアー参加者の構成は我が家の３人と、学生のお子様２人とご両親の４人家族の方、カップルの方達が１組で合計９人でした。

ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、ダンさんの奥様のチエコさんが、ハナウマ湾の特徴や、シュノーケリングのこと、準備を詳しく丁寧に伝えてくれたので、安心してトライしていくこともできました。小学２年生の娘が最年少で、最初はできるかなと半分心配していましたが、チエコ先生が終始サポートをしてくださり、我が家の中では一番上手にシュノーケリングができるようになり、「楽しかったよ。」と満面の笑みでした。

朝８時はまだ海水の温度が冷えている方らしく、我が家はスウェットスーツまでは申し込んでいませんでしたが、チエコ先生の話を聞いて、着用することにして参加することにしました。人数分準備してあることや、安全にシュノーケリングができることを配慮されていることも良かったです。

ハナウマ湾の状態は波が少しある方でしたので、泳いでも少し戻されていったり、反対に流れとともに進んだりするような感じで潜っていきました。最初はシュノーケリングの呼吸のしかたになれること、フィンを初めて使ったので、動かすことに夢中でしたが、そのうちお魚たちが見えてくるようになり、もっとよく見たいと思えるようになってきました♬

娘はチエコ先生と手をつなぎ、力を抜いて泳ぎながら海中を見れていたので、安心しました。私は妻と一緒に手をつないでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。途中チエコ先生がカメがいることを発見して、3メートルくらいの距離でまじかに見ることができたこともラッキーでした♪

1時間くらいのシュノーケリングの時間でも、海の中では長く感じたことも初めての感覚でした。一緒にツアーに参加されていた皆さんも楽しかったようで、今回の旅の中で、良い想い出になってくれましたよ。

ダンさん・チエコさん本当にありがとうございました。またオアフ島に来た際には、再び参加させていただきたいと思っています（●＾o＾●）

I was anxious because of my fear of heights, but I was able to experience it very comfortably. The panoramic view that unfolded before my eyes was wonderful and beautiful. Thank you very much. I want to do it again!

高所恐怖症で不安でしたが、とても安心して体験することができました。眼前に広がるパノラマ風景、素晴らしく素敵でした。ありがとうございました。またやりたいです！

I participated with my husband and our third-grade son! My husband is not a fan of things like roller coasters, so I was a bit worried at first. However, it turned out to be really great. Up in the sky at a height of 150 meters, it was very quiet, and he seemed to really enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the pleasant breeze. When we got back, he had a satisfaction level of 120%!

We have two more children at home, and it’s often difficult to fit in activities with them around, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to create memories for our eldest son, and it was definitely worth it!

主人と小3長男で参加しました！
主人はジェットコースターなど、苦手なタイプなので、当初どうかなー、と思っていましたが。
結果、とてもよかったようです。150メートルの高さの空の上ではとても静かで、ひたすら海の美しさと心地よい風を感じられたようで、帰ってきた時、満足度120%の表情でした！

うちは下にあと二人子どもがいて、彼らがいるとなかなかアクティビティがいれられなかったのですが、長男の思い出作りと思い、参加、とても良かったです！！

There were so many horses and single-rider buggies that we couldn't make a reservation, so we participated in a five-person buggy with four people. But it was so much fun! The magnificent scenery and the views I had seen in movies were exciting. As we went further in, the temperature dropped and the air changed. It was an hour full of excitement!

馬も1人乗りバギーもいっぱいで予約出来ず、5人乗りバギーを4人で参加。でもこれがとても楽しかった！壮大な景色と映画で観たことのある景色に興奮。奥に行くにつれ、気温も下がり、空気が変わる。常にワクワクの1時間でした
