All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

With excitement in our hearts, we boarded the luxurious cruise ship "Star of Honolulu." We chose the "no meal option," but since the gathering was early in the morning, many people were enjoying a buffet breakfast on board.

As we cruised off the coast of Waikiki, we spotted about three whales, but we could mostly see just their backs. Just when we were about to give up, we finally witnessed a blow (spouting) scene, which brought us a sense of relief.

　期待に胸膨らませながら豪華クルーズ船「スターオブホノルル号」に乗船。
我々は「食事なしコース」を選択しましたが、集合が早朝だったので船内でブッフェ形式の朝食を摂っている人たちも多くいました。
　ワイキキ沖合をクルーズしていると、３頭ほど鯨が見られましたがほとんどが背中の部分のみ、諦めかけていた時ついにブロー(潮吹き)シーンが見られ、まあ何とか安堵の気持ちになりました。

We participated in the Mini Dolphin Encounter with my 6-year-old child and my husband. I was prepared for the English explanation after seeing other people's comments, but perhaps due to the rainy season and the chilly weather, there were only the three of us. At the reception, they asked if we preferred the explanation in English or Japanese, and to my pleasant surprise, we received the entire explanation in Japanese (there was a trainer who spoke Japanese). Thanks to the kind trainer, my child was initially scared but ended up enjoying it, and I was glad we participated. Even though I didn't join in, I was very satisfied because I could watch closely from the side of the lagoon!

6才の子供と主人二人でミニ・ドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。 他の方のコメントを見て英語の説明を覚悟してましたが 雨季で肌寒かったせいか参加は二人だけ。 受付で説明は英語と日本語どちらがいいですか？と聞かれ、嬉しい誤算で終始日本語の説明受けられました。(日本語話せるトレーナーいました) 子供も優しいトレーナーのおかげで初めは怖がってましたが最後は楽しんでる姿見て参加して良かったです。 参加しなかった私もラグーン脇から間近で見る事が出来たので大満足です！

Seeing the sandbar was absolutely breathtaking!! The weather was perfect. We also went snorkeling after and saw so many turtles swimming in the water. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! The staff were all very nice and helpful and pick up was on time.

The moment I entered the sea, I encountered a sea turtle! After that, I was lucky enough to see dolphins from the boat! The staff were very kind and made me feel comfortable participating in the tour! ❤︎ I definitely want to use this service again.

海に入った瞬間ウミガメに会えました！
そのあと船からイルカも運良く見ることができました！
スタッフの方もとても優しく接してくれたため安心してツアーに参加できました！❤︎
また是非利用したいと思います。

The pickup was on time! There was a child who got a bit drunk, but the kind brother took good care of him! The explanations were easy to understand, and he made it fun and exciting, so I would like to participate again!

お迎えも時間通り！
酔った子がいたのですが、ちゃんと見てくれてすごく優しいお兄さんでした！
説明もわかりやすく、楽しく盛り上げてくれたのでまた参加したいと思いました！

On February 9th, our family of seven participated. We chose the option with transportation, and the pickup was smooth. Upon arrival, we boarded the boat and immediately had breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, sausages, bread, watermelon, pineapple, and drinks of coffee and orange juice—please refer to the photos. After breakfast, we enjoyed about an hour and a half of cruising. The weather was great that day, and we had a wonderful view of the streets of Hawaii and Diamond Head. As for the whales, we saw them very well. At first, there was one, and later on, two came to visit us, and we could see their tails clearly. I believe everyone who participated that day had the best smiles. I read in other reviews that some people experienced seasickness, but since it’s nature, I think it can’t be helped. We were lucky to have a calm sea cruise under clear skies, so we didn’t get seasick. This event was suggested by my wife, and I truly think it was a great decision to go. Thank you very much to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience and memories of our trip.

2月9日に家族7名で参加しました。送迎付きを選択しましたが、スムーズにピックアップしてもらいました。到着し船に乗りすぐに朝食でしたが、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、パン、スイカやパイナップル、飲み物はコーヒーとオレンジジュースで、写真を参考にして下さい。朝食後、約一時間半のクルージングでしたが、当日は天気も良く、ハワイの街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドも良く見え素晴らしいものでした。あと、肝心のクジラですが、本当に良く見えました。最初は一頭、最後の方には二頭がやって来てくれ、いずれも尻尾が良く見え、当日、参加した人全員が最高の笑顔だったと思います。他の人の口コミで船酔いをしたとの書き込みがありましたが、自然相手のことですので仕方ないのではないかと思います。私達は晴天の中で静かな海のクルージングでしたので、船酔いをしなかったのは、本当に幸運でした。今回のイベントは妻の提案で行くことになりましたが、行って本当に良かったと思います。スタッフの皆さん、旅の思い出として、とても良い経験をさせていただき本当にありがとうございました。

With a large group of 60 to 80 Japanese tourists, there were about 40 people on each boat, making it a bit cramped inside. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, but the crew was very cheerful and energetic, which made it enjoyable. I hope to participate again when the weather is sunny.

日本人の観光客60～80名での大移動で、船1隻辺り40名いたので、船の中では身動きが取りづらかったです。天候もあいにくの曇り時々雨でしたが、クルーの方達がとても明るく元気に盛り上げてくれたので楽しかったです。今度は晴れているときに参加できたら良いなと思います。

I participated alone. I was able to hike while feeling the power of nature in Oahu. I took many deep breaths and enjoyed the forest bathing.
Along the way, there were explanations about the trees, and I was able to take pictures at photo spots, making it a fun experience like a field trip.
The guide, Shanti, was very cheerful, and her explanations were easy to understand, which was great.
The lunch bento was delicious and made with gentle ingredients for the body.
The hike healed my body and mind, and the bento satisfied my stomach.

一人で参加しました。オアフの自然のパワーを身体に感じながら、ハイキング出来ました。沢山深呼吸をして森林浴を楽しみました。
途中、樹についての説明あり、また写真スポットで撮影してもらえたり、遠足のような楽しい時間でした。
ガイドのシャンティさん、とても明るく、説明も分かりやすく、良かったです。
昼食の弁当も美味しく、また身体に優しい素材で作られていました。
ハイキングで身体と心が癒され、弁当で胃が満たされました。

I actually wanted to go to Maui, but since I didn't have the time or money, I looked for tours on Oahu. I chose this tour on a whim, thinking that a smaller boat might allow for closer views than a larger one. Plus, it was a bit pricey for a morning tour to ensure I could board again if I didn't see anything. The hotel pickup was on time. I was unsure whether to wear flip-flops or shoes, but since I could leave my shoes before boarding, either option worked.

I thought we would go further out, but we only went to a point where we could see the hotels along Waikiki Beach, heading towards Diamond Head. After a while, I spotted the dorsal fin of a baby whale in the distance, and I was thrilled to see it raise its tail and dive! We stopped there and waited for it to resurface, but it never showed itself again.

We went a bit further but still didn't see any more whales, so we turned around to head back. On the way there and back, we saw a pod of dolphins swimming close enough to capture on camera. However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see more whales. I wondered if the larger, famous boat we passed had gone further or if the afternoon tour would have been better. I can't say for sure if my choice was the right one.

I want to feel satisfied that I saw at least one whale, but I can't shake the feeling that if we had gone further, we might have seen more. So, that's why I gave this rating. Well, I guess it's just the nature of wildlife (laughs).

本当はマウイに行きたかったけれど時間もお金も無いのでオアフ島でツアー探しました。
大きな船よりは小さいほうが至近距離で見れることもあるかと一か八かこのツアーにしました。
しかも見れなかった時に最乗船出来るように少々高い午前中のツアー。
ホテルへのお迎えも時間どおり。
ビーサンで行くか靴で行くか迷ったけど靴は乗船前に預かってもらえたからどちらでも。
もっと沖に行くのかと思いきや、ワイキキビーチのホテル群が見えるくらいの所をダイヤモンドヘッド方向に。
しばらくしたらやや遠くに子クジラの背鰭が見えて尾びれを上げて潜る所は見れて大興奮！
そこで停船し再浮上待つもその後姿を見せることはなく。
また少し先に行くも再びクジラを見ることはなく方向転換して帰路へ。
行きと帰りにイルカの群れが至近距離を泳ぐ姿はカメラにも納められるくらいの時間で見れました。
が、もうちょっとクジラを見れてれば、と思ってたので少しがっかり。
すれ違った大型の有名な船はもっと先まで行っていたのであちらのが良かったのか、はたまた午後のが良かったのか、と色々後悔とまではいかないけれど自分の選択が正解かどうかがわからない。
クジラが一回でも見れたから良しとしたいところですがあの一回が無ければもっと先に探しに行って貰えてもっと見れたのでは、などとのもやもやは消えず。なのでこの評価です。
まあ生き物なので仕方ないかな(笑)

I booked a plan that includes transportation! The bus arrived on time, and all the staff spoke English. Even if there was a language barrier, the staff tried to communicate with gestures, so it all worked out! The zip line was so much fun! It's fine even if you have a fear of heights! The fruit tomatoes and apple bananas from the farm were delicious too!

送迎付きのプランで予約しました！
バスも予定時刻通り迎えにきてくれて、スタッフさんは全て英語。言葉が通じなくてもスタッフさんもジェスチャーで伝えようとしてくれるのでなんとかなります！！
ジップラインはめっちゃ楽しかったです！高所恐怖症でも大丈夫！！農場で取れるフルーツトマトやアップルバナナも美味しかったです！

The tour lasts about 3 hours and includes 7 zip lines. 1) They teach you various sliding styles, 2) You can take commemorative photos at scenic spots! 3) Tomatoes, macadamia nuts, bananas. 4) The harness and rules are very thorough, so you can feel safe and there’s no risk of falling, which means you can also take photos with a smartphone selfie stick. 5) They talked to us in English about various things before sliding, but I didn’t understand… 6) The price is on the higher side, but I think it was worth the experience.

約3時間のツアーで、７本のジップラインがある。１）いろいろな滑降スタイルを教えてくれます、２）景色がよいところで、記念撮影！３）トマト、マカダミアナッツ、バナナ　４）ハーネスやルールも万全かなり安心で、落下することは無いでしょう、よって、スマホ自撮り棒で撮影も出来ます。　５）滑走する前にいろいろと英語で話してくれましたが？？英語がわからず…　６）金額的には、高めですが体験して良かったと思います。　

The jungle tour and the movie location tour were a lot of fun. My son was thrilled to visit the filming location of his favorite, Jurassic World! On the way back from the jungle tour, an American behind us shouted "more fast!" and the jeep felt like a roller coaster, which got everyone super excited! Due to time constraints, we couldn't join other tours, so I'm planning to go again next time.

ジャングルツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー楽しいです。
息子は大好きなジュラシックワールドのロケ地に興奮！
ジャングルツアーでひと通り見学した帰り道、後ろのアメリカ人がmore fast!と叫び、ジープはまるでジェットコースター状態でみんなで吹っ飛ばさそうになり、これまた大興奮！
時間の関係上、他のツアーに参加出来なかったので次回も行こうと思っています。

We had so much fun! It was our first time and we cant wait to go back! Our instructor was so nice and he took his time and showed us everything. We seen lots of fish and a couple turtles

I was glad to see many whales, but I thought I would be able to see them a bit closer. Overall, I am satisfied.

たくさんクジラが見れたので良かったのですが、もう少し近くで見られると思ってました。
おおむね満足です。

We participated as a family!
Even as adults, we were screaming with excitement, and it was so much fun!
We returned to our childhood and spent the time sliding around with the kids, and before we knew it, time flew by.
I definitely want to go again!

親子で参加しました！
大人でもキャーキャー叫んで最高に楽しかったです！
童心に返って子供と滑りまくりであっという間に時間が過ぎました。
また是非行きたいです！

I gifted this restaurant to my brothers, and everyone had wonderful smiles. I decided on this place and communicated it on the day of departure, but VELTRA is a reliable company, so it was perfect for a surprise.

このレストランは兄弟にプレゼントしたのですが
皆、素敵な笑顔をしていました
ここに決めたのは出発の日に伝えましたが
VELTRA は安心の出来る会社ですからサプライズに最高でした

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

We had a great tour guide in the trails were fun. We were able to see a lot of iconic movie set locations.

Absolutely beautiful! Omg, I can't even describe this beauty. Breathtaking & amazing. Being able to enjoy this creation of nature was beyond beautiful. My boyfriend enjoyed it too but I was mesmerized. Worth every penny of our tour.
We did Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel Adventure & BBQ Lunch Boat Tour & it was excellent.
The crew was was just amazing. They were super nice, sweet, courteous.
Loved everything about this tour.

It was close to Waikiki, simple, and very good. This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. Previously, I did parasailing combined with snorkeling at Hanauma, but I was disappointed because the instructor there was of Chinese descent and quite indifferent. This time, I felt it was very good.

ワイキキからも近くシンプルで非常に良かったです。
ハワイでは2度目のパラセーリングになりました。
以前 ハナウマシュノーケルとセットのパラセーリングをしましたが ハナウマのインストラクターが中国系の人で素っ気なく残念な思いをした分 今回は 非常に良く感じました。

Our driver Larry was totally awesome! He was so knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. We received a great sightseeing tour of Honolulu/Waikiki and the surrounding area. If you request Larry specifically as your driver/guide, you won't be disappointed. He is very good at what he does. What can I say about Pearl Harbor? Everyone needs to visit this site. Unfortunately, the Arizona Memorial was closed for repairs so you will be given a boat ride in the harbor instead. But that's just a reason to come back and do it again.

Beginners can ride too! As mentioned, I was able to ride. Jimmy, who taught me, explained everything clearly. The staff also engaged in conversation, helping to ease my nerves. After changing, we took photos and played games, which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it!

初心者の方も乗れます！の通り、乗れました。
教えてくれたジミーさんがわかりやすく教えてくれました。
スタッフの方も常に会話してくれて、緊張をほぐしてくれました。
着替えた後も写真を撮ってくれたり、ゲームをしたりと楽しめました。
おススメです！

I was surprised to see two tour buses at the meeting place, with people from various countries. However, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, and the guided tour was also in Japanese. We gathered at the meeting place according to the schedule for each plan, and we experienced a total of three activities. Visiting filming locations is definitely a must. It was fun to see places from Jurassic World and more, and the magnificent scenery is truly wonderful. It mentioned that those with cardiovascular diseases should be cautious, but everything except the zip line was manageable. Long pants aren't necessarily required (though they might be for horseback riding). Since it's primarily a ranch, there is some smell, but there are also many animals. However, the lunch buffet wasn't very good, so I give it four stars.

集合場所へ行くと観光バスが2台でびっくり。各国の人がいました。しかし日本語を話すスタッフがいて、ガイドツアーも日本語でした。いくつかのプラン毎に牧場内の集合時間に集合場所に集まって、全部で３つ体験しました。やはりロケ地巡りは外せないでしょう。ジュラシックワールドやら色々、楽しかったし、とにかく壮大な景色が素晴らしいです。循環器疾患があるとダメだと書いてありましたが、ジップライン以外は余裕です。長ズボンとかも別に不要です（乗馬は要るのかも）基本牧場なので臭いはしますが、動物もたくさんいます。ただ、ランチビッフェは美味しくなかったので星4つです。

This was great! The views are amazing and our guide Travis was wonderful! We would definitely do this again!

We participated as a family. At first, it was scary, but since we got used to the gentle course before moving to higher altitudes, we were able to enjoy it without anxiety. There was an instructor who spoke a little Japanese, which was helpful. It would have been even more fun if we could speak English.

Since there are times when you need to hold onto the equipment with both hands, it would be convenient to have a case to hang your smartphone around your neck. I think it would be concerning if you only had it in your back pocket and it fell out.

When we were there, there was water available, but unfortunately, there were no bananas or other fruits (not sure if they ran out?).

Overall, it was a fun and great experience.

家族で参加。最初は怖かったのですが、優しいコースで慣れてから高地に上がるので不安なく楽しめました。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターさんがいたので助かりました。
英語が出来たらもっと楽しかったでしょうね。
両手で器具につかまることもあるので　スマホを首からぶら下げられるケース等があると便利です。お尻のポケットだけでは　もし落としたら…と不安になると思います。
私たちの時は水はありましたが、バナナなどフルーツはなく（数が尽きたのか分かりません？）残念でした。

でも楽しくいい体験ができました。

Beautiful flowers, friendly and helpful greeter and guide.

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only caught a glimpse of the tail towards the end of the cruise, but this time, I was able to see both the spout and the tail several times! If you go expecting something like the promotional photos, you might feel disappointed. Everything from check-in to disembarking the boat is in English, so I was a bit worried about what to do in case of an emergency, but the boat itself was large and stable, so I felt safe on board. It was great to see the views of Waikiki and the east side of Diamond Head from a different perspective.

2回目の参加です。前回は、クルーズ終わり頃に尾がチラッと見えただけでしたが、今回は、潮吹きも尾も何度か見ることができました！
宣伝写真のようなのを期待して行くと、残念な気になると思います。
受付から船を降りるまで、すべて英語なので、万が一の時はどうしよう•••と思いましたが、船自体は大きくて揺れも少なく、安心して乗っていられました。
沖からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの東側など普段と違う方角からの景色が観られて良かったです。

I was satisfied with everything.
From the transportation to the service on the boat,
seeing the sunset and Waikiki from the sea, and finally even spotting a whale made for a very enjoyable time.
The staff's response was also wonderful.

全てに満足でした
送迎から船内でのサービス
夕日や海からのワイキキ、最後にクジラまで見れて、とても楽しい一時でした。
スタッフの方達の対応も素晴らしかったです。

I truly felt that participating was worthwhile. Before boarding, I requested some photos, and they took not only the overall shots of parasailing but also captured our expressions and the views from the boat, totaling around 90 photos. It's necessary to inform the staff and the captain that you'd like photos before boarding and before parasailing, but it's reassuring that you can decide whether to purchase them after returning to the office and viewing the photos. The cost for the photos was $30, and we gave the captain a total of $20 in tips for the four of us. It created the best memories!

参加してよかったと心から思います。乗船前に写真をお願いし、撮っていただきましたが、パラセイルの全体像だけでなく、表情、船からの景色も撮ってくださり、90枚程度撮っていただきました。乗船前やパラセイル前にスタッフや船長さんに写真が欲しいと伝える必要がありますが、事務所に帰ってきて写真を見てから購入の有無を決めることができるので安心です。写真代は30ドル、チップは4人で合わせて船長さんに20ドル渡しました。最高の思い出ができました！

This boat trip was amazing! The captain was extremely knowledgeable and even looked out for dolphins and whales for us! We werent able to see any dolphins, but we were able to see a whale. We also saw some honu's, (green sea turtles) and some really cool fish. He also had a lot of great jokes, which made me smile! Well worth it!
