All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

What a fabulous way to begin a vacation in Oahu! The Captain and Tour Director we’re knowledgeable, generous and entertaining. They made the first day of our vacation even more special than my husband and I imagined! Thank you!!

❤️たくさんのイルカがみれました！一緒に行った子供達も大興奮です
ガイドさん達もとても優しく、楽しい方達でした！╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
船の上でのフラダンスショーもあり、ステキな旅の1ページになりました

This tour was completely satisfying. The hotel pickup, guidance at the harbor, explanations on the boat, and guidance at the sandbar were all excellent, including the explanation about the filming locations of Jurassic World during our return! Everything was satisfying. The weather, with rain and sunshine, allowed us to see a beautiful rainbow clearly from start to finish!
The date of the visit was October 11, 2018.
I took photos of a newlywed couple, but since I don't have their address, I couldn't send them, so I'm uploading the photos here.
If you're seeing this, I hope it's helpful!

このツアーは全てが満足でした。ホテルのピックアップ、ハーバーでの誘導、船上での説明、サンドバーでの誘導などなど、帰港中にジュラシックワールドのロケ地だった説明！全てが満足でした。天候も雨が降ったり晴れたりしたお陰でスタートからエンドまではっきり見える綺麗な虹を見ることができました！

My husband is not good with heights, so we participated in a tour that was 110 meters high. There were five groups on the same boat, including us, with two groups being Japanese. The boat ride to the parasailing location was quite bumpy, so I strongly recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication. Thanks to the motion sickness medication I took, I was able to enjoy the ride on the sea.

While there were moments when we were slightly swayed by the wind up in the air, it was generally very stable, allowing us to enjoy the distant scenery at a leisurely pace. I was told that photos would be taken on an SD card for about $30, but we decided not to request them. However, now that I think about it, I wish we had asked for some photos of ourselves while we were up in the air, as we couldn't take any ourselves. Most people took photos from the air with their own cameras. If you put your smartphone in a waterproof case and hang it around your neck, you can bring it up with you.

When coming down from the air to the boat, they asked us how wet we wanted to get, with options like not getting wet at all, up to the knees, waist, shoulders, or head. We chose to get wet up to our knees, but there were others who enjoyed getting fully soaked up to their shoulders. For those with a fear of heights, it may not be highly recommended depending on the severity of their fear. My husband said it was a good experience, but he seemed quite scared.

There were also participants who were a mother with two children, so I think children over elementary school age can enjoy it together.

主人が高所が苦手なため高さ110mのツアーに参加しました。
同じボートには私たちを含めて5組が乗船していて日本人が2組でした。
パラセーリングをする場所までの移動は船がかなり揺れるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲むことを強くおすすめします。
私は酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、海上での移動中も楽しめました。
上空では少し風にあおられる時もありましたが、基本的にはとても安定していて遠くの景色をゆっくり楽しむことができました。
写真はSDカードに100枚ほど記録してくれて30ドルと言われましたが、お願いしませんでした。ただ、自分たちが上空にいる時の写真は自分たちでは撮れないので、今思うと記念にお願いすればよかったかなとも思います…。
上空からの写真はほとんどの人が自分のカメラで撮っていました。
防水ケースに入れて首から下げるようにすればスマホも上空まで持っていけます。
上空からボートに降りてくるときにまったく濡れない、ひざ下までジャポン、腰まで、肩まで、頭まで、と細かく希望を聞いてくれました。
私たちはひざ下にしましたが、肩までしっかりジャポンしている人たちもいて楽しんでいました。
高所恐怖症の方はその度合いにもよりますが、あまりおすすめしません。
良い経験になったとは言っていましたが、主人はかなり怖かったようです(^^;
良くご相談ください。
ママとお子さん2人の3人で参加されている方もいましたので、小学生以上のお子さんであれば一緒に楽しめると思います。

Driver Levent was right on time for pick up .The tour was amazing & very informative . The knowledge Levent had was incredible . the sights we saw were good & lunch delicious . Highly recommend this tour for 1st timers to Oahu or returnees to the island.My daughter & I had a great time .

I participated with a team of five from work. On this day, the tide was low, and there were some sandbars exposed, but the sandbar where the tour landed was underwater. Although we couldn't relax under the parasol, the water level was just below our knees, so our guide and everyone else joined in and enjoyed playing beach volleyball like kids again. The BBQ burger for lunch was delicious, and we had fun snorkeling and watching sea turtles, so overall it was great. I think it's a good tour!

By the way, the boats are divided for Japanese and foreign participants, but we intentionally chose the foreigner boat to enjoy a more local experience. There was also a Japanese guide on the same boat, so I think it made the experience even better!

職場のチーム5人で参加しました。
この日は潮が引いていてサンドバーが出ているところもありましたが、ツアーが上陸するサンドバーは水の中(^^ゞ
パラソルの下でのんびりとはいかなかったけど、ひざ下の水位だったのでガイドさんや参加の皆さんで童心にかえってビーチバレーを楽しみました。
ランチのＢＢＱバーガーは美味しかったし、シュノーケルもウミガメウォッチングも楽しめてトータルは〇。良いツアーだと思います！

ちなみに船は日本人用と外国人用に分かれていますが、私達は敢えて外国人用の船に乗って、より現地感を楽しみました。日本人ガイドの方も同じ船にいるので、その方が楽しめると思います(^^)

We participated as a couple.
While I thought we would see wild dolphins right away, they are wild dolphins after all!
It wasn't that easy (laughs).
We didn't see any on the first or second attempts, but on the third try, we finally saw them!
By the third time, I was able to put on my mask and fins quickly, and I jumped in without hesitation, thanks to the perfect training from the sports club☆
We also got really close to a sea turtle, and time flew by as we challenged ourselves with SPU.
The photographer was quite lively from early in the morning, but he took a lot of great photos!
I would like to participate again. Thank you!

夫婦で参加しました。
野生のイルカとは思いながらも、すぐに会えると思っていました。
ですが、相手は野生のイルカ先生！
そう簡単ではありませんでした（笑）
1回目、2回目は会えず、3度目の正直で会えました！
3度目は、マスクもフィンもすぐに付けれて、飛込みも躊躇なくでき、体育会系の教えで完璧でした☆
ウミガメにもとっても近くで会えて、SPUにも挑戦できあっという間に時間が過ぎました。
カメラマンの方は、朝早くからかなり賑やかでしたが、たくさん良い写真を撮ってくれました！
また参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

This was my second time in Hawaii. While I admired the surfers riding the waves with such ease, I was filled with anxiety about handling a longboard and the rules in the water, so I thought it would be dangerous and decided to participate in a lesson with my husband.

Even as people in their 40s, we were able to fully enjoy the surfing experience thanks to the kind coaches who sent us out at the best timing for the good waves.

The next day, I thought about renting a board at the beach, but a local Japanese person warned me, "It's very dangerous, so be careful!" and I decided against it. I'm really glad I signed up for this group lesson. I highly recommend it.

2回目のハワイ。気持ちよさそうに波乗りをするサーファーに憧れる一方、ロングボードの扱い方、海の中でのルールなど不安なことだらけだったのでやっぱり危ないだろうなぁと思い、こちらのレッスンに夫婦で参加しました。
40代の私たちも親切なコーチが順番にいい波にベストなタイミングで送り出してくださったので、波乗り気分は充分に味わえました。
次の日にビーチでボードを借りようかなと思ったのですが、ローカルの日本人に「とっても危ないので気をつけて‼︎」と言われ、借りるのは断念しました。こちらのグループレッスンに申し込んでおいて、本当に良かったと思います。お勧めします。

This was my very first experience using Veltra, so I was a bit worried. However, I felt reassured knowing that several major Japanese travel agencies were shareholders.

I enjoyed playing volleyball on the sandbar and the light snacks/BBQ lunch were quite delicious.

　全く最初のベルトラさんの利用でしたので少し心配でした。日本の大手旅行代理店の数社が株主でしたので安心でした。
　
　サンドバー（砂洲）でバレーボールをしたり、軽食／BBQランチも結構美味しく食べられました。

This is for first-timers.
The staff will push the board for you, so anyone can ride the waves.
You can get a feel for the take-off.
Since you ride the waves in order at the same spot and can't choose your own waves, it's recommended for anyone who has done it at least once to take a private lesson.

初めての方用です。
スタッフがボードを押してくれるので、誰でも波に乗れます。
テイクオフの体感をつかむことができます。
同じ場所で順番に波に乗るので、自分で波を選ぶことができないため、1回でもやったことがある人は個人レッスンがおすすめです。

It was my first experience in a state where I couldn't have a conversation, but it was no problem at all. Since I have a fear of heights, I chose to go up to 110 meters, but I think I could have gone higher without any issues. Although we were off the coast of Waikiki, one of the reasons I was satisfied was that I could see the very beautiful deep blue sea, which is different from the coastal area. There were 14 people on the boat, including two staff members. It was a small boat, but we were able to lift off without getting our swimsuits wet, and my sunglasses didn't fall off either. Some people even brought cameras, and we comfortably enjoyed parasailing. It was very stable in the air, and it was nothing but "pleasant." The media fee for the photos (SD card cost) was high, but they took many pictures, and I think I can use one of them as the best shot for my New Year's card.

I was fine, but since we were out at sea for a while, I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

会話ができない状態で初めての体験でしたが全然問題ありませんでした。高所恐怖症なので110ｍにしましたが、もっと高くても大丈夫だったと思います。ワイキキの沖合でしたが、沿岸部とは違って非常にきれいな群青色の海が見れたことも満足した要因の一つです。ボートにはスタッフ２名を入れて14名が乗船。小型のボートでしたが水着も一切ぬれることなくその場から浮揚し、サングラスも落ちることなく、中にはカメラを持つ方もいて、快適にパラセイリングを楽しめました。空ではとても安定していて「気持ちいい」以外の何ものでもありません。撮影のメディア（ＳＤ代金）は高かったですが、何枚も撮影してくれていて年賀状のベストショットにできそうです。
　私は大丈夫でしたが、しばらくの間、沖合にいるので、酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくことをおすすめします。

It was thrilling with stunning views. For an additional $20, you can get an SD card with around 70 photos. It would have been even better if the flying time was a bit longer.

スリルと絶景で大興奮でした。
プラス20ドルで70枚前後の写真を収めたSDカードが貰えます。
もう少し飛ぶ時間が長ければ、なお良かったかな。

I was debating whether to join a tour to swim with wild dolphins when I applied... (I was also concerned about the price)
In the end, I'm glad I chose this tour!!
The Japanese guide provided a very detailed explanation of the tour flow during the changing time, and when it was time to interact with the dolphins, the local staff took over. Even though we couldn't communicate verbally, we were able to understand each other through gestures.
Since it's a tourist spot, the food court and other areas are generally on the pricier side, but they gave us three coupons, so I was able to enjoy ice cream for free!
I participated in the first morning session, and afterwards, I had lunch and was able to watch the dolphin show starting at 12:30. The show was at a level that you can't experience in Japan, and it was really great.

申込時に野生のイルカと泳げるツアーにするか悩んでいたのですが…(お値段的にも悩みました)
結果的にこちらのツアーにして良かったです！！
日本語ガイドさんは着替え時にとても詳しくツアーの流れを教えてくれますし、イルカと触れ合う時は現地のスタッフに交代するのですが、言葉は通じずとも身振り手振りで理解できます。
観光地なのでフードコート等も全体的に高めですが、クーポンを3つつけて下さるので無料でアイスが食べれちゃいました！
午前1番の部での参加で、その後はご飯を食べたりして12時半〜のイルカショーも見ることが出来ました。ショーも日本では味わえないレベルでとても良かったです。

I participated in the Dolphin Swim Adventure. Both the dolphins and the staff (foreigners) were very friendly, and I had an incredibly fun interaction, which left me very satisfied. However, it was disappointing that the dolphin pool and the facilities were dirty. I had a hamburger and a chili dog for lunch, but they were cold. There were also a lot of mosquitoes.

ドルフィンスイムアドベンチャーに参加しました。イルカもスタッフのお姉さん(外人)も とてもフレンドリーで、最高に楽しいふれあいができて大満足でした。ただ、イルカのプール内や施設内が汚れていたのが残念でした。
ハンバーガーやチリドッグをランチで食べたのですが、冷たかったです。蚊も多いです。

While the tour was quite good, I would only reccomend it for the die hard fans. We got to see a lot of areas where they filmed, but it was predominantly from the van we were driven around in.
The hosts, while very knowledgable, seemed to be more interested in how they have been involved in the show and sharing stories of there time working with the actors.

The only real highlight of the whole trip was going to the location of Steve McGarrett's home, and we were only there for a maximum of maybe 10 minutes.

The ranch itself is beautiful, easy to find, and has plenty of parking and good customer service. The Multi-Passenger Raptor UTV tour allows drivers to switch off wherever the lead decides for the group to stop and take pictures. Considering how fully booked this place is, I never felt overwhelmed by the amount of people and during the tour itself, I felt like we were the only people driving around. Each turn led to a scenic view. Our 1 hour tour felt really short. We only stopped once and I was left wanting more. I wouldn't call this a tour because there is no narration or information provided. You simply follow your group and the passenger(s) take pictures/videos.

Our two families (4 adults and 3 kids under 10) would definitely recommend Captain Bobs sandbar cruise and it was a highlight of our holiday.
The team looked after us the entire time, from pick up to drop off. The entertainment, the scenic journey, the sandbar, volleyball, the turtles, the snorkelling, the bbq - gosh it was all amazing.
Thanks crew for the great time we had!
Mahalo!!!

FUN-TASTIC DAY! We would do it again. My grandson wanted to stay longer. He also wanted to go again the next day.

The weather was nice, and I was very satisfied to see sea turtles! I would like to participate again! However, the snacks were really light, so I wished there was a bit more volume.

天候も良く、ウミガメも見ることができとても満足でした！また参加したいと思います！でも、軽食は本当に軽食だったのでもう少しボリュームが欲しかったと思います。

Kualoa Ranch was a great experience and I had a lot of fun! However, on the day of my visit, I was supposed to choose two activities, including horseback riding, but I wasn't able to select anything, and I couldn't go horseback riding. It seemed that the local staff had mentioned this a few times, and they said that the agent might have misunderstood. I think it would be good if the course descriptions could be updated.

クアロア牧場は満喫でき、とても楽しかったです！
ただ、当日2つは選べるコースで行き、乗馬をする予定だったのですが、何も選べずに決まっており、乗馬はできませんでした。
現地の方は何度か言われているようで、エージェントさんが勘違いしているようと言っていました。
コースの説明内容を変更していただけるとよいかと思いました。

The shuttle service was convenient.
There are paid options, so it might be necessary to check in advance.
It was not crowded.

It can get chilly when the sun goes down, so you might need something to wear over.

送迎つきだったので、便利でした。
有料のものもあるので、事前のチェックが必要かも。
空いてました。

日が陰ると肌寒いので、羽織るものが 必要かも。

I participated in the evening, and the weather was really nice, so it felt great! I enjoyed myself both on the boat and in the sky! This is definitely worth repeating! It was a shame that the meeting place was hard to find.

夕方に参加しましたが、とてもいい天気でとにかく気持ち良かったです！
船の上でも空の上でもとにかく楽しめました！
これは、リピート間違いなし！
集合場所が、わかりにくかったのが残念です。

This was a great experience the food, view and dancing. So well worth it would do it again.

Beautiful swimming with the turtles and fish. The staff was awesome. Funny and just wanting to help with any need we had. Beautiful view of the island and Waikiki. Thank for a Great Afternoon Guys. Aloha

I made a reservation through SUP and brought the voucher, but it seemed the staff wasn't very familiar with it, and initially, they mistook it for a rental. They also said that due to the waves that day, SUP would be dangerous, that there would be no refund for cancellations, and suggested switching to surfing. I thought it was a shame that I wouldn't get my money back if the weather prevented us from doing it.

The Japanese staff at the reception wasn't very friendly, which was a bit disappointing.

The instructor was kind and great. I was able to ride the waves. However, since there were many people around, it felt a bit dangerous as I was worried about colliding with someone. In a semi-private lesson, there are times when you end up alone, and you might be far from the instructor, so I think it's better for those who are anxious to opt for a one-on-one lesson.

I tried another surf school on a different day, and I found that one to be better, so I don't think I'll be returning here.

SUPで予約してバウチャーを持って行きましたが、受付があまり把握してない様子で、最初レンタルと勘違いされました。
また、その日の波だとSUPは危ない、キャンセル料はきかない、サーフィンに変えた方がいい、と言われ、サーフィンに。天候で出来ない場合にお金が戻らないのは勿体無いな、と思いました。
受付の日本人があまり愛想はなかったのが少し残念。

インストラクターは優しい良い方でした。波にも乗れました。ただ、場所的に人が多くいるので、ぶつかりそうで危なかったです。セミプライベートだと、どうしても1人になる時間があり、インストラクターと遠く離れるときがあるので、不安な方はマンツーマンにした方が良いかと思います。

別の日に他のサーフスクールでも体験し、そちらの方が良かったので、ここでのリピートはないかなと思います。

I made a reservation because I wanted to try it after seeing it on a Japanese TV show. The music was playing, and the staff were very energetic, which made it a lot of fun. I thought I would like to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii.

日本のテレビ番組でみたときにやってみたいと思い予約しました。
音楽も流れていて、スタッフさんたちもテンション高くてとても楽しかったです。
また次回ハワイに行ったときもやりたいなと思いました。

I was nervous about parasailing for the first time, but the view from above was amazing! The driver and the staff were friendly and it was a lot of fun. Just to be safe, I took some motion sickness medication. At first, it was calm, but then it got bumpy!

初めてのパラセイリングでドキドキでしたが、上からの景色が最高でした！ドライバーさんもスタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです。念のため、酔い止め飲んでおきました。初めは穏やかでしたが、揺れました！

There is no better way to experience Hawaii, than out on its beautiful, indescribable blue waters. After doing a bit of research, I knew I wanted to go snorkeling on the west side of the island. I also snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, but there is zero comparison. Two completely different experiences. Sailing out of the harbor, on the beautiful catamaran, with the wind in your hair, onto the sparkling water, a stunning, panoramic view of the majestic mountains behind you, with three fabulous hours of yet unknown adventures ahead of you---well, what more can you ask for? Our time on this tour was great. It went by entirely too fast. But every minute was wonderful. We saw more dolphins than we could count. Had great visibility while snorkeling. Saw many different types of fish and marine life. All under the skillful supervision of the awesome crew. Also, the boat was not overly crowded, which was terrific. Plenty of room to move about and to have a good seat. The food and drinks were perfect. I just wish it was twice as long. And honestly, next time we go back, I will probably go more than once. It's simply the best way to experience the magic of Hawaii. PS. I booked through Hawaii Activities.com and I believe the company name is also Hawaii Nautical. No matter which you book it, it's completely worth it!

Every time I visit Hawaii, I always love to go Snorkeling and normally go to Hanauma Bay. This time we decided to try something different and was so glad we all went on Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel Adventure & BBQ Lunch Boat Tour. I enjoyed it so much that I will schedule it again next year. "Great job!" Captain Bob and crew, see you next year.

I booked this snorkeling activity for a short duration since a full-day activity seemed tiring. We checked in at Outrigger Beach and set sail! There was only one other Japanese couple with us; the rest were from overseas. The captain gave explanations in English, so I didn't understand much (laughs), but I could get the gist through gestures, so it was okay.

We received a full set of gear, including goggles, and headed into the sea! It seems wearing a life jacket is mandatory, but those who were experienced took them off. I was able to let some air out and dive a bit, so I thoroughly enjoyed the ocean.

Along the way, a sea turtle appeared, and I was able to see it up close! It was exciting to watch it come up for air and be so close. After swimming to my heart's content, we went sailing. Some people were drinking, and it turned into a bit of a party. They even took pictures for us, and we had a great time☆

I recommend this for anyone looking to do an activity without spending too much time!

1日がかりのアクティビティは疲れてしまいそうなので、短時間でシュノーケリングができるこちらを予約しました。
アウトリガーのビーチで受付して出航です！日本人は私達と1組の夫婦のみで、あとは海外の方ばかりでした。船長が説明をしてくれますが、英語なのでほぼ分かりませんでした(笑)ジャスチャーでなんとなく分かるのでオッケーです。
ゴーグル等セットを一式もらって海へ！救命胴衣は必須のようですが、慣れている方は外していました。少し空気を抜いて潜ったりできたので、思いっきり海を満喫しました。
途中、ウミガメが現れてしっかり見ることができました！空気を吸いに上がってきたり、かなり近くで見れたのは嬉しかったです。思う存分泳いで、その後はセーリング。お酒を飲んでる方もいて、ちょっとしたパーティーになってました。写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しく過ごせました☆
時間をかけずアクティビティをしたい方はオススメです！
