All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This was a fun experience to be in a submarine! Very professional and a funny captain. I would not expect seeing a ton of sea creatures as this is a very protected environment they have created for this experience.

Since I saw in the reviews that we should allow plenty of time for our return, I made a reservation starting at 1:30 PM and planned to return by 4 PM, so I booked a dinner for 6:30 PM just to be safe. However, it turned out to be quite tight!

I book activities every year, and the flow is generally the same with all companies (arriving at the activity company by car, moving to another boat by ship, and waiting for our turn until called), but here there were no snacks or drinks available, and there weren't enough chairs, so many people were standing, making the wait feel long.

We only did jet skiing, but for an activity that lasts about 20 minutes, we gathered at 12:50 PM and arrived back at the hotel after 6 PM. It might be more time-efficient to choose a plan that allows you to experience various activities all at once.

Even a 12-year-old child was allowed to drive when riding with a parent, which was great! There was a point for changing drivers separate from the green floating balls where you go around in circles, and we switched drivers several times.

After returning to the company, you can purchase the GoPro images taken by a self-timer mounted on the jet ski's handle, but due to a mistake on their part, the data was not found, and we waited a long time. When they finally found it, the only video was just a few seconds long. The photos were also disappointing; since it was a two-person jet ski, the only shot of the previous driver was a close-up of their upper body, and the overall view of us riding was not captured, so the ski itself wasn't in the picture. We paid $40 for photos and $40 for the video plus tax (CDR was $40, USB was $50), but both were disappointing. The video was just a few seconds long (laughs).

I had brought an underwater camera and a waterproof phone case with enthusiasm, but I found out just before that they were not allowed, which was disappointing since I was counting on the GoPro. However, the photos and videos from other people's parasailing looked great, as they were taken from a good distance with their cameras! I should have asked for a full shot of the two of us before attaching the GoPro to the body.

It's a good idea to bring small bills for tips, which you can give when getting off the boat. We only had two $20 bills for safety, so after tipping, we didn't have enough money left for the photo data, and I had to give my credit card number to the Japanese staff at the reception to make the purchase later.

Even after finally finishing, we were told the next pickup car would arrive in 30 minutes, so I thought it would be wise to bring some cash to shop at the nearby Safeway and kill time.

After finally getting into the late-arriving car, it took nearly an hour to get to the hotel. I'm glad we made the reservation with plenty of time to spare. The company had two restrooms, and since I changed clothes, I didn't have to stay in my wet swimsuit.

I hope this information is helpful!

帰りの時間には余裕をとこちらの口コミで見た為、13時半スタートの予約をし、16時戻りとなっていたので余裕を持って18時半のディナーを予約していましたが、まさかのギリギリでした！

毎年アクティビティを予約しているので、どの会社も同じような流れですが、（車でアクティビティの会社に着き、船で拠点となる別の船まで移動して、呼ばれるまで順番を待つ）こちらはスナックや飲み物等もなく、椅子も足らずたくさん立っている人がいるので待ち時間が長く感じます。

私たちはジェットスキーだけにしましたが、20分くらいのアクティビティの為に、12時50分集合〜18時すぎのホテル着となりました。
だったら色々一気に体験できるプランの方が時間的には効率的かもしれません。

12歳の子どもでも親との二人乗りなら運転させてもらえましたので、その点はとても良かったです♪
ぐるぐる回遊するポイントの緑の浮きボールとは別に、運転者を交代する為のポイントもあり、私たちは何度か交代しました(^-^)

終了後会社に戻ってから、ジェットスキーのハンドルに設置されたセルフタイマーで撮られているゴープロの画像をデータ購入できるようになっていますが、あちらの手違いでデータが見つからずずっと待っていて、やっと見つかり見せて頂いたものは動画は数秒の1つだけでした。
写真も、二人乗りジェットスキーだと、前の運転者の上半身アップのみで、乗っているところの全体像は写せないのでスキーも写っておらず、写真40ドルと動画40ドル＋税（CDRは40、USBは50ドル）しましたが、どちらも残念な感じでした。動画は数秒でしたし(笑)
張り切って水中カメラや防水スマホケースを持って行ったのですが、持ち込み禁止と直前でわかり、ゴープロに期待していただけに…。他の方のパラセイリングなどの写真や動画はカメラとの距離感があるのでちゃんと撮れていてとても良さそうでした！ゴープロを車体に取りつける前に2人で乗っている全体像を1枚お願いすれば良かったです。

チップは船を降りる時などに渡せるように細かいお札を持って行った方がいいです。
私たちは念の為の20ドル札2枚しか持っていなかったので、チップを渡したら写真データのお金が足らなくなってしまい、受付の日本人のスタッフさんにクレジットの番号などを後から伝えて購入できました。

やっと終わっても次のお迎えの車は30分後と言われて、同じ敷地内にあるセーフウェイなど買い物して時間を潰すにもある程度の現金持ってくるべきだなと思いました。

やっと遅れて来た車に乗ってからも、ホテルまでは1時間近くかかりました。
相当な余裕を持って予約しておいて良かったです。会社に2つトイレがあり、服に着替えをしたので濡れた水着を着っぱなしではなく済みました。

参考になれば幸いです。

I participated for the first time with my daughter in third grade, my son in second year of junior high, my 79-year-old father, my 74-year-old mother, and myself, a total of five people. I was worried about my mother, who has trouble walking, but we were able to enjoy the sandbar without any issues. My mother watched the snorkeling from the boat, but there were others who were also observing the snorkeling, and the atmosphere allowed everyone to participate freely according to their own condition, which was great.

The day before, a hurricane was approaching, and I was concerned about the weather, but during the tour until around 2:30 PM, we were able to enjoy the blue sky and the emerald green sea!

The female leader of the tour was excellent; her explanations were enjoyable, bright, and efficient, and the other staff members were very kind, making it a highly favorable tour. My son was impressed by the surprisingly delicious hamburgers.

We even encountered a sea turtle during the boat ride, and while snorkeling at the coral reef, we found a large sea turtle sleeping in a cave-like area, which made my daughter very happy.

It was also helpful that the bus departed from near the hotel. I had prepared marine shoes, but it turned out I didn't need to wear them. According to the staff, sometimes small sand can get in and actually be painful, so I think it's fine to prepare them and choose whether to wear them on-site.

It was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad we went.

小3の娘、中2の息子、79歳の父、74歳の母と私の5人で初参加しました。足の悪い母が心配でしたが、サンドバーは問題なく楽しめました。母はシュノーケリングは船から見ていましたが、ほかにもシュノーケリングを見学している人もいて、自分の状態で自由に参加できる雰囲気がよかったです。
前日からハリケーンが近づいていて、天気が心配でしたが、午後２時半ごろまでのツアー中は持ち、青い空、エメラルドグリーンの海を楽しめました！
女性の責任者の方のしきりがとても良く、説明も楽しく、明るく手際よく、ほかのスタッフの方々もとても親切で、好感度の高いツアーでした。
息子は、思った以上にちゃんとした美味しいハンバーガーに感動していました。
船の移動中にウミガメにも会えて、サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングでは、洞窟のような中で眠る大きなウミガメも見つけ、娘も大喜びでした。
ホテルの近くからのバスの発車も助かりました。
マリンシューズを用意してましたが、履かなくて大丈夫でした。スタッフの方によると、小さな砂が入り込んでかえって痛いこともある、とのことでした。準備しておいて現場で履く履かないは選ぶ、でいいかと思います。
とても楽しいツアーで、行けて良かったです。

I recommend buying something at ABC Store. Since I don't research much, it's best to sneak it into the bottom of your bag. There is a shop, but the staff lacks motivation, and you may have to wait in line for over 30 minutes in an area without shade. They serve food that has flies on it, so you should bring your own food to avoid getting caught.

ABCストアで何か買っていくことを進めします。あまり調べないので荷物の底に忍ばせておけばよいです。売店はありますが、店員はやる気なく、日陰のない所を30分以上並ばせられます。ハエがたかっている食べ物を出されるので持ち込みがばれないよう持っていくべきです。

We saved the best for last. We are a family of 4, mom, dad and 2 - 13 years olds. We had a fantastic time!! So much fun and great guides! The ranch is beautiful. You can ride horses, bus tour, atv or utv tours to take. We did the utv. It sits 5. Our sons wanted to drive at s but they are not old enough. They still loved it! Its where alot of great movies were filmed like Lost, jurasic park. Will recommand to everyone!!! And many more. They have a food availble too.
Best way to finish our great hawaii trip.

It was a great experience, we all loved it. Keola, our guide, was awesome and made the experience even better. He had a great sense of humor and was super knowledgeable, making the ride even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking to have a fun time.

Both the driver and the guide were very pleasant people, and I was able to participate in the tour comfortably! The journey to Manoa Falls was filled with beautiful greenery, and I was impressed to find such a natural forest just 15 to 20 minutes from Waikiki. I heard that the water flow of the falls is amazing during the rainy season, so I would like to see that as well. The path was muddy after the rain, but it was manageable even for elementary school students. The lunch at Kapiolani Park at the end also became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

ドライバーさんもガイドさんもとても感じの良い人達で、気持ち良くツアーに参加出来ました！
マノア滝までの道のりも緑がとても綺麗で、ワイキキから15〜20分の距離にこんな自然の森がある事に感動しました。
雨季に来ると滝の水量がすごいと聞いたので、それもまた見てみたいなと思いました。雨が降った後で道がぬかるんでいましたが、小学生でも大丈夫でした。
最後のカピオラニ公園でのランチも素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました！

I probably never leave reviews but Dan's hospitality and wonderful experience makes first time snorkelers so easy anf fun!

It took a while for the usher to find our seat which seems to me that they didn't have assigned seats. I suggest getting assigned seats so this kind of incident will not happen again.

The actual shows were pretty short. It would be nice to extend it a little

I participated with my child. I was relieved that there was an explanation in Japanese. Since the purpose was to tour movie filming locations, the guide was also very engaging, and my child, who was hot and tired, was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

子供と参加。日本語説明があり、安心しました。
映画撮影場所巡りが、目的だったので、
ガイドさんも盛り上げ上手で
暑くて疲れていた子供も大満足。
ありがとうございました。

Great crew! Wonderful service and a very nice cruise.

When we arrived at the port and got off the shuttle bus, a veteran staff member, who apparently was in charge of middle school groups, abruptly announced that he would be switching places with the guide in charge of university groups. This surprised guide B, who was in charge of the university group. This staff member, although Japanese, has been in Hawaii for so long that he seems to have lost touch with the sensibilities of Japanese travelers, making him come off as annoying to those visiting from Japan.

Because of the sudden change in responsibility, the questions we had from the bus were not passed on, and despite having communicated that we were not confident swimmers, we were left unattended. It was mentioned that there would be souvenirs, but neither adults nor children received anything. We opted for the package that included snorkeling, SUP, and canoeing, but it only lasted about 20 minutes. At this rate, we might as well have gone with the middle school option. The difference in price was wasted.

We did see dolphins, but that was just due to good timing and not because of this company. Next time, I will choose a different tour company.

港に着いて送迎バスを降りたらいきなり中学担当だったらしいベテランスタッフAが、大学担当のガイドと入れ替わると言い放った。
これには大学担当のガイドBもビックリしていました。
このA、日本人だけど長年ハワイにいて日本人の感覚が麻痺しちゃってるのか、日本から来た旅行者にはウザく感じる。
急に担当変更するから、バスの中での質問事項が引き継がれておらず、泳ぎに自信がないと伝えていたのに放置。
お土産付きとあったが大人も子供も貰えず。
シュノーケル.SUP.カヌー付きにしたのに合わせて20分程度で終了。これなら中学でよかった。中学との差額が無駄だった。
イルカには会えたけどそれはこの会社のお陰ではなく、タイミングが良かっただけであって、次回は他のツアー会社を選びます。

It was a great experience that both children and adults could enjoy. The staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere for all participants. The view of Waikiki from the ocean is also wonderful. However, it was disappointing that the start time was delayed by 30 minutes because I had to call after 10 minutes of waiting for the pickup, and it ended up being about 20 minutes late. The boat sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some anti-nausea medication.

子供も大人も楽しめる良い体験でした。スタッフも陽気に盛り上げてくれて、参加者みんなで楽しく過ごせました。沖からみるワイキキの風景もステキです。 迎えが来なくて予定から10分後には電話をかけ、最終的に20分ほど遅れたため開始が30分ずれでしまったのが残念ポイントです。結構ボートが揺れるので酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須ですね。

Hanauma Bay snorkeling was guided in Japanese, so I was able to experience it with peace of mind from departure to arrival, and the half day flew by. It was great to hear various stories about sightseeing spots during the car ride as well. Although I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for during snorkeling, the guide was always attentive to the course and the participants' conditions, ensuring we could see various fish. I would like to try again for the sea turtles.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングは日本語ガイドさんでしたので、出発から
到着まで安心して体験できたので半日があっという間でした。
車中でも観光名所などいろいろな話も聞けて良かったです。
シュノーケリングでは、期待していたウミガメには会えませんでしたが
様々な魚を見れるようコースや参加者の体調を常に気遣ってくれていました。
ウミガメ再度挑戦したいなと思います。

This was a surprise for my girlfriends birthday and she loved it! We saw so many of sharks! We had done one of the other shark dive without a cage on a smaller boat and did not have the greatest experience.(she got seasick, swimming in strong current, only saw one shark, un-attentive crew...) This experience was the complete opposite. The shark cage makes it so easy to relax in the water and just watch the sharks. Not fighting against the current for this type of experience really makes a huge difference. And you are never worried about what is behind you! The boat itself made a big difference as well. It is an extremely stable power catamaran and is one of the smoothest riding boats i have been on. The captain and crew are one of the friendliest I have encountered. They make sure you are taken care of and happy to share their knowledge of literally everything you can see out on the water and on the island.

I participated in the 150m. Depending on the number of participants, it takes about an hour and a half to two hours, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. It seemed like there were no restrooms on site, so it's better to take care of that beforehand. The parasailing experience itself is wonderful. The staff were Americans, and they were all very cheerful, which made it enjoyable.

１５０ｍに参加しました。１回の参加人数にもよるでしょうが１時間半～２時間ぐらいかかるので、船の酔い止め薬は飲んでいた方が無難です。現地にトイレがないように思いました。トイレは済ませておいた方がいいです。パラセーリング自体は素晴らしい体験です。スタッフは米国人でしたが、非常に明るい人たちばかりで楽しめました。

Before switching to the submarine, the boat we were on had sea turtles approaching, so we were able to see the turtles up close, and the children were very happy.

潜水艦に乗りかえる前に乗る船には、海亀が近づいてくるので間近で亀を見ることも出来て、子供達も大変喜んでいました。

When we were riding horses, the four of us were quite excited. However, by the time we finished riding and returned, everyone seemed tired. My father and husband, who just turned 70, got off the horse saying their knees hurt and walked in a rather strange way. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my nephew simply said they were sleepy.

As I listened to them, it seemed they felt sleepy because they were walking at the same pace through similar scenery. Additionally, the uncles were in the same position and at the same pace, which seemed to have taken a toll on their legs and back. They mentioned that the horseback riding experience on the Big Island of Hawaii was better. What a shame...

馬乗った時は興奮気味の4人でした。
しかし、乗馬が終わり戻ってきた時には、みんな疲れている感じでした。
70歳を迎えた父と夫は、膝が痛い！といいながら馬からおりてなんか不思議な歩き方を。
9歳と10歳の娘と甥っ子は、眠かった、、と一言。

話を聞いていると、同じような景色ばかりの中を同じペースでパカパカ歩くので、眠かったようです。また、おじさんたちは同じ姿勢で同じペースで、、ということで足腰にきていたようです。
以前体験した、ハワイ島の乗馬の方がいいわ、、ということでした。
残念。。。

Since my youngest daughter, who is 3 years old, also wanted to experience horseback riding like her older sister, I assumed it would be a pony riding experience and made the reservation. However, among the horses lined up for the riding experience, there were no ponies. I thought they might be preparing them, but instead, everyone was riding horses of similar size... Let's ride!!

After the experience, we got to brush the horse's fur and feed them, and that was the end of it. It seems like she had a lot of fun.

乗馬体験同じように、下の娘3歳も体験したいとのことだったので、ポニー乗馬体験、 と思い込んで申し込み。
乗馬体験の馬が並んでいる中に、ポニーがいない。今から準備かな？と思っていたら、みんな同じような大きさの馬に…Let's riding!!
体験後は、くしで馬の毛をとかしてもらい、エサを与えさせてもらい、終了でした。
とても楽しかったみたいです。

We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!

小学生高学年2人の子供と家族4人で参加。曇り予報でしたが、殆ど晴れで波も穏やか。各ホテルからバスで集まると、港で、日本語ガイドさんの船と、英語の船（外人）に分かれて乗船。説明もわかりやすく、ノリもよく楽しいガイドさん。サンドバーでは、写真の撮り方熟知しており、方向やポーズのアドバイスあり、何ショットもとってもらえました！海亀もこれでもかってほど見ました。シュノーケルは、潮が満ちていたせいか、やや濁りぎみでもまぁ魚は見えました。帰りは、濡れた水着でもタオルひけばバスに乗れますが、バス内が寒いので、乾いた服をもっていけばよかったかな。昼ごはんもかなり美味しかった！サンドバーきれいだったし、大満足！

I participated in the movie location tour, jungle experience tour, and Taste of Farm tour. I signed up mainly for the movie location tour, so I learned about the other tours and details on the day, but there was no confusion, and I was able to participate with explanations in Japanese for everything.

I recommend sitting on the right side of the bus for the movie location tour, as most of the sights are concentrated on that side. I joined to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, and in that regard, I found the jungle tour to be more fulfilling and enjoyable than the location tour. The jungle tour was exciting, and I think those with strong hearts will really enjoy it.

The lunch buffet was included, but honestly, the quality was lacking, and I was concerned about hygiene. There were a lot of flies in the dining area, so I think it's better to eat on the terrace. However, aside from the buffet, there were only places like a café terrace for dining, so it seems better to include the buffet to enjoy a longer meal.

The afternoon Taste of Farm tour wasn't very interesting, but overall, I think it was a very fulfilling tour. I didn't participate in horseback riding, buggies, or zip-lining this time, but they looked really fun to watch. If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to experience those activities.

This time, I was picked up near Ala Moana Center, which was very convenient. It was only after going that I realized how difficult it would be to go on my own. Joining the tour is definitely the way to go, and after arriving, the Japanese staff kindly explained the schedule, which was reassuring.

映画ロケ地ツアー、ジャングル体験ツアー、テイストオブファームツアーに参加しました。
映画ロケ地ツアーを目当てに申し込んだので、それ以外のツアーや詳細は当日知りましたが、混乱もなく、全て日本語の説明付きで参加することができました。
映画ロケ地ツアーは、バスの右手側に座ることをオススメします。(バスの右手側ばかりに見たいものが集中しているため)
ジュラシックパーク、ジュラシックワールドのロケ地を見たくて参加したのですが、その点で言えば、ロケ地ツアーより、ジャングルツアーの方が充実していて楽しかったです。ジャングルのツアーは走行もエキサイティングで、心臓の強い方はとても楽しめると思います。
ランチバイキングがついていましたが、正直内容はイマイチで衛生面も気になりました。食堂内は物凄くハエがうるさいので、テラスで食事された方がいいと思います。ただ、バイキング以外はカフェテラス？？的なところしか食事場所がないので、バイキングをつけておいた方が長く楽しむには良いように思いました。
午後のテイスト〜ツアーは、あまり面白くなかったですが、全体を通して、とても充実したツアーだったと思います。
今回は乗馬やバギー、ジップラインに参加しませんでしたが、乗馬やバギーは見ていて本当に楽しそうでした。次行く機会があればそちらを体験したいです。
今回はアラモアナセンター付近で送迎してもらい、とても便利でした。行ってみて初めて、これは自力で行くのはあまりに難儀、と思いました。ツアーに参加されるのが間違いないですし、到着後も日本人スタッフさんが丁寧に日程説明してくださり安心です。

I was worried about seasickness, but the weather on the day was nice, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. My family was also very happy, and it became a great memory.

船酔いを心配しましたが、当日の天候もよく楽しむことが出来ました。家族も非常に喜んでおり、いい想い出となりました。

This was my fourth time surfing in Hawaii. This time, I participated in this school for the first time. Previously, I had private lessons at a different school, but this time it was a group of over ten people. Although the lessons were in English, when I arrived, there was a teacher who looked like a local but spoke fluent Japanese, which was very reassuring. Before we started, they encouraged us a lot, making it easy to participate even for first-timers or those coming alone. First, we borrowed marine shoes, watched a video, and then headed to the ocean. After some training on land, we entered the water. In addition to the Japanese-speaking teacher, two other instructors joined us. Our group included participants from Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the United States, so we communicated in English. Since I had surfed a few times before, I was able to stand up from the beginning and had a lot of fun riding the waves in the beautiful, shallow sea. However, unlike private lessons, when I paddled back to the instructor, I had to wait for other students to catch their waves, which took some time before it was my turn again. I think beginners will enjoy it, but those with some experience might find it a bit lacking. That said, waiting for waves while chatting with the instructors and other students was enjoyable. I believe this is a plan that allows even first-timers to relax and have fun.

ハワイで4度目のサーフィンでした。今回始めてこちらのスクールに参加させていただきました。前回までは違うスクールで、プライベートレッスンだったのですが今回は10人以上のグループでした。英語でのレッスンとのことでしたが、到着すると見た目はバリバリ現地の方なのに、日本語がペラペラな先生がいらっしゃりとても心強かったです。始まる前にたくさん声をかけてくださり、初めてでも1人での参加でも、安心して参加できます。まずはマリンシューズを借りて、ビデオをみて、海まで向かいます。陸でのトレーニングをしてから海に入りました。日本語を話せる先生の他に2名先生が一緒に入ってくださいました。今回のグループには日本、韓国、オーストラリア、アメリカの方が一緒に参加していたので英語でのコミュニケーションでした。私は何度かサーフィンをしたことがあったので、初めから立つことができ、遠浅の綺麗な海で波乗りができとても楽しむことができました。ただ、やはりプライベートレッスンとは違いパドルで先生のところに戻っていっても他の生徒さんの波待ちの時間があり、自分の番まで回ってくるのに時間がかかります。初めての方は楽しめると思いますが、何度か経験されている方には少し物足りないかもしれません。とはいえ、和気あいあいと先生、生徒さんたちともお話をしながらの波待ちは楽しかったです。初めての方でも安心して楽しむことができるプランだと思います。

The final dinner to celebrate my 78-year-old mother's first stay in Honolulu. I made a reservation at my recommended restaurant, Taormina. The special menu from Veltra was a great deal, and in addition to its beautiful presentation and deliciousness, the dishes were served promptly just by showing the voucher. Since drinks were separate, we toasted with a wine recommended by the staff. I carelessly ordered extra bruschetta without considering the portion size, and we couldn't finish the course meal. After taking just one bite of the last meat dish, I had it packed to go. They generously added sauce, so it was delicious to eat later in the room!

７８歳の母の初ホノルル滞在を彩る最後の夕食。私の一押しレストラン・タオルミーナの予約をお願いしました。ベルトラの特別メニューはお得感満載で、見た目の美しさや美味しさに加えバウチャーを見せるだけで悩まずに料理が適時提供されました。ドリンクは別でしたのでスタッフさんお薦めのワインで乾杯。量を考えずにうっかりブルスケッタを追加注文し、コース料理を食べきれなくなり、最後のお肉料理は一口いただいた後、持ち帰りにしてもらいました。ソースもしっかりかけてくれたので後で部屋で食べても美味しかったです！！

It was extremely crowded, likely due to the summer vacation period. We entered at 10:30 in the morning, but we had to exchange our voucher for admission tickets at the reception, which caused a 20 to 30-minute delay at the entrance. We also waited 20 to 40 minutes for attractions and spent an hour in line at the lunch stand. Since the return bus was at 3 PM and we had to stick to that schedule, we were in the changing room by 2:30, so we only managed to go on four attractions. It's unacceptable to wait an hour at the stand when outside food and drinks are not allowed. They should either increase the number of staff or the number of stands. Additionally, I noticed some signs of aging in the facilities, and I was a bit worried about whether maintenance was being done.

夏休み期間のせいもあり、めちゃくちゃ混んでいました。朝は10:30入場だったのですが、バウチャーを受付で入場券に換えないといけないので入口で並び入場に20〜30分のロスがあり、アトラクションも20〜40分並んだのとランチの売店も１時間並びました。迎えのバスが15時で時間厳守なので14時半には更衣室だったので結局アトラクション4つしか乗れませんでした。飲食の持ち込み不可なのに売店１時間待つのはありえないです。だったらもっと人を増やすか売店数を増やすかしてほしい。あと老朽化が目につきました。メンテナンスをしているのかちょっと心配でした。

Last year, my husband and I participated in the Manoa Falls tour, but this time we joined with our three grandchildren (ages 5, 7, and 10) and our daughter, making a total of six of us.
The sandbar was a bit deep for the grandchildren, but it was perfect for practicing snorkeling later on.
The barbecue on the boat was also very delicious, and we were extremely satisfied.
We were able to see some turtles (though it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many), and the staff were very kind, allowing us to have a fun day.

昨年は夫婦二人でマノアの滝ツアーに参加しましたが、今回は孫３人（５歳、７歳、１０歳）と娘、我々夫婦６人で参加しました。
サンドバーは孫達にはちょっと深かったですが、後で行うシュノーケリングの練習を行うには最適でした。
船上でのバーベキューも大変美味しく、大満足でした。
カメも見られ（ちょっと少なかったのが残念でしたが）、スタッフの方々も大変親切で楽しい一日を過ごせました。

This Cruise was so much fun! The crew took good care of everyone and made sure we all were enjoying our experience. Would highly recommend this Cruise to everyone!

I challenged myself to a height of 120 meters. It was my first time paragliding. We were the very first to fly. I was surprised by the sudden lift since I hadn't seen the previous person's experience, but once we were up, the view of Waikiki was breathtaking! We could see Diamond Head perfectly. It seemed like my husband, who has a fear of heights, and my child, who was initially scared, both enjoyed the experience. My child said, "I want to do it again," and my husband said, "If we do it next time, let's go for 150 meters."

While others were experiencing it, there were also planes flying, making it perfect for taking photos! We had a great time asking the people we were touring with to take pictures and sharing our thoughts on whether it was scary or not.

The boat wasn't constantly moving, so I didn't experience much seasickness. However, I think motion sickness medication is essential since looking down while paragliding can make you feel queasy.

高さ120ｍに挑戦。初めてのパラセイリングでした。私たちは一番最初に飛びました。前の人の体験を見ていなかったので急な浮き上がりでびっくりしましたが、上に上がってからはワイキキの絶景！ダイヤモンドヘッドもばっちり見えました。高所恐怖症の夫や最初は怖がっていた子供も楽しく体験できたようです。子供は「またやりたい」夫は「次やるなら150ｍにしよう」と言っていました。
別な方たちが体験している際に飛行機も飛んでいたので写真を撮るにはもってこい！一緒にツアーを経験していた方たちに写真撮影を頼んだり、怖かったかどうか感想を聞くなど和気あいあいと過ごせました。
船が常に止まっているわけではなかったので、船での船酔いはあまりなかったです。パラセイリング中は下を見たりしていると酔ってしまうため、酔い止め薬は必需品だと思いました。

I was surprised to find such great nature just a 15-minute drive from Honolulu. It suddenly feels like you're in a jungle. The trekking is just the right amount. However, the slopes can be muddy, steep, and narrow, so it may not be suitable for elderly people or small children (under grade 3). Our guide was Billy, who spoke Japanese fluently and was very entertaining. He had a lot of dad jokes, which made it fun. A must-have is insect repellent, as there are many mosquitoes. Sandals are not recommended as they could lead to injuries. It’s not a situation where you would use an umbrella, so it's better to leave it behind and just accept the rain as a shower if it comes.

ホノルルから車で15分程度のところに、こんなに大自然があるとはびっくりです。急にジャングルになる感じです。トレッキングとしては量的に丁度よいかんじです。でも、斜面がぬかるんでたり、急斜面だったり、細かったり、なので、ご高齢の方や小さいお子さん（小3以下）には不向きでしょう。案内はビリーさんという日本語達者で面白いガイドさんでした。親父ギャグ（ダジャレ）盛沢山で楽しかったです。必需品は、蚊が多いので虫よけ。サンダルは怪我しそうなので不可。傘はさす状況にないので、持って行かず、雨降られたらシャワーとして受け入れるべきでしょう。

You will go into nature that far exceeds your imagination. The trees are so large that you’ve never seen anything like them, and you will be overwhelmed by the wonders of nature. A 4-year-old boy also participated and was able to walk on his own until the end, feeling adventurous. The guide is knowledgeable about plants and animals, making it perfect for learning about the land of Hawaii.

As expected, there are many mosquitoes as you go deeper into the mountains. Due to the high humidity, insect repellent spray is probably better than long pants. You can stop by a shop in the park before entering.
