All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It was awsome!!
BUT the flight time is much shorter than I expected.
I was not 6 min but 5 min according to iphone video.

I had experience with a mid-sized motorcycle, and I was worried about the heavy handlebars, but it was fine! The roads are unpaved in nature, so my face got covered in dust from the dirt (^_^;) If you want to avoid that, it might be a good idea to bring something to cover your face, like a bandana or mask.

Riding through the magnificent scenery was the best and felt amazing!

中型バイク経験があったけど
ハンドルが重くて、どうなることかと思ったけど、大丈夫でした！
自然の中の道なので舗装されてないし、土ぼこりで顔がホコリまみれ(^_^;)
そうなりたくない方は、バンダナやマスクなど顔を覆う物持参した方がいいかも

雄大な景色の中を走れて最高気持ち良かったです！

During my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to fulfill my wife's wish to participate in an activity that was introduced on a certain TV program, which was both shocking and exciting! I personally am not very good with heights, and I usually can't handle fast rides or anything that involves falling, so I had some anxiety. However, the staff were friendly and took safety seriously, which allowed me to trust them.

Taking that first step to jump was scary, but the speed wasn't too intense, and once I got to see the breathtaking views, I felt completely fine! Since the staff communicated entirely in English, it was a bit challenging for us to understand with our limited English skills, but it was very reassuring that some Japanese participants in our team provided additional explanations.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

初めてのハワイ旅行にて、某テレビ番組でも紹介されて衝撃的かつ刺激的だったので是非とも参加したいという妻の希望に応えたく参加させていただきました！
僕自身高所もあまり得意ではなく、速いだの落ちるだの絶叫系はもっぱらダメなので不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々が気さくな感じと、安全性にもしっかり配慮されていたので身を任す事が出来ました。
飛び出す一歩は怖いけど、スピードもそれほどキツくなく、絶景を見れたらそんなことは全然大丈夫でした！
スタッフの方々がすべて英語での対応だったため、僕らの英語力では理解が難しかったですが、同じチームに日本の方々が説明を加えていただけたのもとても心強かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいですね！

It was a very memorable day. I was moved to swim in the large, beautiful ocean of Hawaii and encounter many dolphins and sea turtles. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii.

とても記念になる1日になりました。ハワイの大きくて綺麗な海で泳げたこと、そして、たくさんのイルカやウミガメと出会えて感動しました。またハワイに来たら参加さしたいです。

At the sandbar, we practiced volleyball and snorkeling, and for lunch, we had hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff. We also saw sea turtles, and the actual snorkeling experience was amazing with so many fish. It was the best tour! No need to worry about language at all! Sunscreen is a must! ☀️☀️☀️ The guide was also a funny person and kept us entertained during the boat ride.

サンドバーにてバレー、シュノーケル練習、お昼はスタッフが焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガー
ウミガメも見れて、実際のシュノーケリングもたくさんのお魚が見れて最高のツアーでした
言葉の心配も一切必要なし！
日焼け止めは必須です☀️☀️☀️
ガイドさんも面白い方で船の移動中も楽しませてくれました

私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。

It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.

A landslide occurred a few days before our participation, which resulted in the trekking route to Manoa Falls being closed, so we ended up trekking at the nearby Lyon Arboretum.

As it is a botanical garden, the paths were well-maintained and easy to walk on. We arrived at the waterfall in about 40 minutes while listening to our guide share stories about Hawaii's history. Although it wasn't a large waterfall, we were lucky that the rain from the previous day had increased the water flow a bit.

There were many plants I had never seen before, and I stopped to take photos... during which I got bitten by mosquitoes. Even with insect repellent spray, it seems like it's better not to stay still.

After trekking, we drove to Kaimana Farm Cafe for lunch. The portion sizes were just right, and the food was very delicious.

参加の数日前に地滑りが発生してマノア滝がへのトレッキングルートが閉鎖されてしまったため、すぐお隣の Lyon Arboretum のトレッキングとなりました。
植物園ということだけあって、道はよく整備されていて、歩きやすかったです。
ガイドさんからハワイの歴史も聞きながら40分くらいで滝に到着。大きな滝ではないのですが、前日の雨でちょっとばかり水量が増えていたのでラッキーでした。
見たことのない植物ばかりで足を止めては写真を撮り・・・その間に蚊に刺されました。虫除けスプレーはかけても刺されるようなので、じっとしない方が良さそうです。
トレッキングの後は車で移動してカイマナ・ファーム・カフェでランチ。量もちょうどよく、とても美味しかったです。

Outstanding, I will return to do it again with them.

The bus was fully booked for departure. It’s quite popular, after all.

At first, it was difficult to find the sea turtles, but thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to see quite a few once I got the hang of it.

As for the main sandbar, it didn’t appear at all because it was out of sync with the low tide. (Even in shallow areas, the water level was about waist-high.)

Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about it, but I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined something like the pictures.

バスは満席での出発でした。やはり人気ですね。
ウミガメは最初は探すのが難しかったですが、ガイドさんのアドバイスもあり、慣れれば結構たくさん見ることができました。
メインのサンドバーですが、干潮の時間とズレていたのでサンドバーは全く出現しませんでした。（浅いところでも水位は腰の高さほどありました）
自然のことなので仕方ないですが、イメージ写真のようなものを想像していたので、少しがっかりした面もあります。

Awesome show! Went to another luau a few years ago at the Polynesian Culture Ctr and was bored! But this show was 100% better and this show flows.

My wife and I had a great time at your show well worth the evening

My first parasailing experience in Hawaii was refreshing and liberating, just as I expected, if not more! I had a really fun experience and was very satisfied! I don't know when I'll be able to go again, but I'm aiming for my next try!

初めてのハワイでのパラセイリングは、期待通りの、いいえそれ以上の爽快感と開放感じでした❕
本当に楽しい経験が出来て大満足でした❗
次いつ行けるか分かりませんが、next try を目指しますよー

It was definitely one of our favorite adventures on our honeymoon.!!!

I think it's a great way to have fun in Hawaii! It has a refreshing and liberating feeling, and I thought I would like to do it again when I come back to Hawaii.

ハワイでの遊び方の１つとしてかなりいいと思います！
爽快感と開放感があり、またハワイに来た時にはやりたいなと思いました

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour. There were four sea turtles swimming, and I was able to see them up close when they surfaced for air. However, it was disappointing to see someone of Asian descent touching the sea turtles at that time. After that, we cruised for about an hour before returning.

12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。ウミガメが4匹泳いでおり、息継ぎで浮上した際には間近で見る事が出来ました。ただ、その時にアジア系の人がウミガメに触れており、残念でした。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。

It was my first time at such a height, so I was a bit scared, but it was refreshing and I really enjoyed it. I could see all of Waikiki, and the view was beautiful. There was a forecast for thunderstorms, but there were also some clear skies, which was nice.

初めての高さだったので少し怖いかなと思っていましたが、爽快感がありとても楽しめました(^^)
ワイキキを一望できて、景色もキレイでした。
雷雨予報だったのですが、少し晴れ間もありよかったです☆

I wanted to swim with wild dolphins, so I participated. On the day of the event, there was a bit of a typhoon influence, and the sea was murky, but I got to see many dolphins and a mother turtle with her baby, which was incredibly fun! The staff were also enjoyable and kind! Thank you very much!

野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぎたいと思い、参加しました。
当日は少し台風の影響もあり、海が濁っていましたが、沢山のイルカと亀の親子にも会えて最高に楽しいかったです！
スタッフの皆さんも楽しくて、親切でした！
ありがとうございました！

After boarding, we quickly found dolphins and were able to swim with them. The dolphins swam around us several times without fear of humans, which was amazing. I was very satisfied to capture videos with an underwater camera.

After enjoying the dolphins, we went to another spot for snorkeling. The water there was murky, and we couldn't see many fish. There were a few fish around the coral, but they were few in number.

In addition to snorkeling, we could also play with inflatables, paddles, and kayaks, but for us, who were mainly focused on the dolphins, these were unnecessary. In fact, I wished we could have spent more time with the dolphins we found.

In conclusion, I thought that since Dolphin University is so active, perhaps activities other than dolphins are unnecessary. However, I was satisfied as we achieved our goal!

乗船後、イルカを探してすぐに見つかり、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。イルカも人間を恐れて逃げるということ無く、私たちの周りを何度も泳いでました。水中カメラで動画も撮れてとても満足です。
イルカを堪能した後に別のポイントへ行きシュノーケルをしました。そちらは海水が濁っておりあまり魚もよく見えませんでした。珊瑚の周りにいくらか魚がいましたが少数でした。
シュノーケル以外にも、浮き輪やパドル、カヤックなどでも遊べましたが、イルカがメインの私たちには不要でした。むしろ、せっかく見つけたイルカともっと一緒にいられる時間が欲しかったです。
結論として、イルカ大学というアクティブなので、イルカ以外は不要なのでは？と思いましたが、目的は果たせたので満足です！

I first visited in November 2017 and returned again in October 2018. This time, things seemed different; it looked like the number of cast members had significantly decreased. Even after huffing and puffing up the stairs to the slide, I encountered closed signs (crying). This happened frequently, which made it hard to enjoy myself. The morning pickup was also about 30 minutes late, and I felt that the price for four and a half hours was a bit high. It was disappointing that the children's slide was closed as well.

Overall, it was disappointing.

2017年11月に初めて来て、今回2018年10月に再び訪れました。初回とは様子が変わっていて、キャストがかなり人数が減っているみたいで、スライダーの階段をはーはー言って登ってもクローズの看板(泣)そんな事がしばしばあって楽しめませんでした。朝のピックアップも30分程遅れてくるし、4時間半でこの値段は高いかな？と思う内容でした。子供用スライダーもクローズで残念でした。

全体的に残念でした。

It was supposed to be a guided tour with a Japanese guide, but the bus guide only spoke Japanese for jokes and didn't inform us about when to get off or the order of disembarking, so I almost missed my stop. The boat staff were good, but unfortunately, the weather was bad and it was cold on the ground. It might be better to check the tide times before booking.

日本人ガイド付きとなっていましたが、バスのバスのガイドさんは冗談だけ日本語で帰りは途中で下車し、降りる順番とかも教えてくれなかったので危うく乗り過ごすところでした。船のスタッフさんは良かったですがあいにくの天気で地上は寒かったです。潮の時間を調べて申し込んだ方が良いかもです。

This is my second time using this service.
Since it was low tide, I was able to see the fish clearly and even encountered a sea turtle, which was lucky.
Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
I will participate again! o(^▽^)o

2度目の利用です
干潮だったので、お魚もハッキリ見れて、海ガメにも遭遇出来て、幸運でした。
チエコさん、ダンさん
ありがとうございました！
また参加させていただきますo(^▽^)o

I participated again this year. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was amazing, and I felt like a bird—it was so refreshing! I'm thinking about joining again next year!

去年に続き参加
ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡せて
鳥になった気分で超気持ち良かったです〜
また来年も参加しよっかなぁ〜

Great trip got to see lots of turtles. The lunch was good and the staff (Mike, Jenner, Ken) were excellent- thank you.

Convenient lessons at a beach near Honolulu Zoo. There is also hotel pick-up, making it easy to participate. The staff are very friendly, and even complete beginners can quickly improve and have fun. The participation fee is also reasonable.

ホノルル動物園の近くの　便利なビーチでのレッスン。ホテルへの送迎もあり　手軽に参加できます。スタッフの皆さん　とてもフレンドリーで　全くの初心者でも　すぐに上達出来て楽しめます。参加費も　お手頃です。

The staff was kind and attentive. I got a bit seasick, but I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a lot of fun! 😊

親切、丁寧に対応して頂きました。
波酔いしてしまいましたが、ウミガメも見ることができてとても楽しかったです(^^)

The food was just okay, but the three-story ship was great! The first floor had dining, the second floor was a live music bar, and the third floor had a deck and bar, which made for a fulfilling experience! Above all, the sunset was beautiful to see!

料理はまぁまぁでしたが、3階建ての船で1階でご飯、2階が生演奏バー、3階はデッキ＆バーと充実して楽しめました！
とにかくサンセットが綺麗に見えて良かった！

It was sunny and very pleasant!!
I originally heard it would take about 8 minutes, but it felt like it wasn't that long?? I was a bit disappointed about that (>д<)
Even at 120 meters, it was very impressive!!

晴れていてとても気持ちよかったです！！
もともと8分と聞いてましたがそんなになかった？？ような気がしたのが少し残念でした(>д<)
120メートルでもとても迫力ありました！！

I had been interested in parasailing for a while, and experiencing it in Hawaii was just perfect. So, I went for it. My partner, who is my wife, doesn't like heights, so I participated alone.

In my group (at 4:00 PM), all 10 other participants were foreigners. From the pickup to the return to the hotel, everything was in English ONLY. There are staff who understand Japanese on-site, so if you’re not comfortable with English, it might be a good idea to let them know in advance. That said, I’m not that fluent either, but I actually enjoyed interacting with the cheerful guide, so it was fun in its own way.

It may vary by day, but on the day I went, the boat was quite rocky (especially the waves were a bit intimidating when leaving the bay), so those who are sensitive to motion sickness should be cautious.

On the boat, there was a laid-back and cheerful captain along with two crew members. They played upbeat music, danced, and told jokes, making for a cruise filled with laughter. However, the safety instructions were clear and easy to understand, all in English, but there weren't any complicated procedures, so it was manageable.

Originally, it seems you can't fly solo, but since everyone else was participating in pairs, I ended up flying solo. They assess the wind and wave conditions to ensure safety, so it seems casual but is actually quite responsible (which is to be expected, of course).

This time, I took the 150-meter course, and when I went up, it was higher than I had imagined! Up in the air, I was surprised by how quiet it was, as I couldn't hear the boat's engine anymore. I could see the entire Diamond Head, the round horizon, and the high-rise hotels of Honolulu along with the white sandy beaches in the distance. The long-awaited aerial stroll while only hearing the sound of the wind was amazing.

As expected, I was dropped into the water at the end and high-fived everyone while returning to the dock. The ride back to the hotel, listening to the cheerful driver’s rapid-fire talk, was also enjoyable, making for a very satisfying experience.

Overall, from the hotel pickup to the return, it takes about 2 hours, so if you have any free time, I highly recommend giving it a try!

以前から興味のあった、パラセーリング。Hawaiiで体験できれば申し分ない。
・・・ということで、行ってまいりました。相方のカミさんは、高いのはダメなので、一人参加でした。
私の参加したグループ（16:00）は私以外の10名全て外人。送迎からホテル帰着まで、全て英語ONLYでした。現地には日本語わかるスタッフが居るので、英語ダメな方は、事前に伝えておいたほうが良いかも知れません。とは言え私もそんなに堪能なわけではないですが、陽気なガイドさんとのやり取りを、かえって楽しめた部分もあるので、それはそれで面白いと思いますが。
日によるとは思いますが、私の行った日はかなり船が揺れた（特に湾から出るちょっとビビるくらいの高さの波でした）ので、船に弱い方は要注意と思います。
船でもは、いい感じにいい加減(？)な乗りの良い陽気な船長とクルー2名が対乗船。ノリの良い音楽をかけて踊りながらJokeを飛ばし、終始笑いの絶えない、クルーズでした。とは言え、安全に係る説明や指示は、的確にわかりやすく、説明はすべて英語ですが、そんなに難しい手順があるわけでもなく、まあなんとかなります。
本来はSOLO(1人)では飛ばせないようなのですが、生憎皆さんペアでの参加でしたので、結局SOLOで飛部事になりました。きちんと風や揺れの状況見て判断するから大丈夫と、このあたりもいい加減なようで、きちんとしてます（まあ当たり前ですが (笑)）
今回は高さ150mのコースでしたが、上がってみると、想像していたより高い！上空では船のエンジン音も聞こえなくなり、静かなことに驚きます。遠くにダイアモンドヘッドの全景、丸い水平線、ホノルルの高層ホテル群や白い砂浜を遠望し、風の音だけを聞きながらの念願の空中散歩は最高でした。
お約束で最後に水に落とされ、皆とハイタッチしながら寄港。
また、陽気なドライバーさんのマシンガントークを聞きながらのホテルまでの帰り道も楽しく、大満足な体験ができました。
TOTALではホテルでのピックアップから帰るまで、2時間程度になりますので、少しでも時間が空けられる方は、ぜひ一度お試しください。

It was my first experience with parasailing. The scenery was, of course, beautiful, and I enjoyed it throughout the cruise. Even though I took motion sickness medication, I started to feel a bit nauseous towards the end, so I think it's best for those who are anxious to definitely take the medication beforehand. For those traveling to Hawaii, it's an easy activity to participate in, and I would recommend it to friends who are interested in parasailing. One thing that I found a bit unsatisfactory was that the price was the same even without transportation. They also firmly requested a tip in broken Japanese.

パラセーリング初体験でした。景色はもちろんの事、クルーズ中も楽しめます。
酔い止め飲んでても最後の方気持ち悪くなったので、不安な方は必ず酔い止め飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。ハワイ旅する方には手軽に参加できるし、パラセーリング友達にもおすすめしたいアクティビティーです。
ひとつだけ、送迎なしでも同価格ってのが納得のいかない所ですかね。チップも片言の日本語できっちり要求されました。

The surf lesson I participated in this time was carefully taught by the staff, focusing on beginners. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, and the surfer staff who supported us in the water used simple Japanese to explain things, making it easy to understand! I would love to try surfing again!

今回参加したこのサーフレッスンは初心者向けの内容を丁寧にスタッフの方が教えてくれていました。また、日本語を話せるスタッフの方もいますし、海に入ってサポートしてくれるサーファーのスタッフも日本語を簡単ですが使って教えてくれるのでわかりやすかったです！
またサーフィンをやってみたいです！
