All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!

It was my first time overseas and my first parasailing experience, so I was anxious, but the kind support made it enjoyable from start to finish!

はじめての海外で初パラセーリングだったので、不安でしたが最後まで親切な対応で最初から最後まで楽しめました！

Mike our vip tour guide driver was awesome very knowledgeable and interactive making it fun

Loved the quick boat ride out! Felt like most of the time was spent waiting for people to arrive- didn't get a ton of time out on the sand bar

I had plenty of time and was very satisfied. However, it was a bit disappointing that there were many filming locations and I couldn't visit them all. My face got dirty from the dust.

時間も十分にあり非常に満足です
ただ映画の撮影場所が多く、全て回れなかったのがちょっと残念です
砂ぼこりで顔が汚れました

I participated in the 150m jump since I was there anyway. The instructor primarily spoke English, but seemed accustomed to Japanese people, so there was no need to worry as they explained things in simple Japanese during the preparation. When I mentioned it was our honeymoon, the humorous instructor got everyone involved and made it lively. My companion was very scared, but once it started, the scenery was so beautiful that they forgot their fear. You need cash to take photos, but I’m glad I asked. They transfer the data to an SD card and smartphone.

せっかくならと150mで参加しました。
インストラクターの方は基本的に英語ですが、日本人に慣れているようで、準備の時は簡単な日本語で説明してくれるので心配ありませんでした。
ハネムーンだと伝えると周りの参加者を巻き込んで盛り上げてくれるユーモア溢れるインストラクターでした。
同行者はとても怖がっていましたが、はじまると景色がとても綺麗で怖さも忘れてしまったそうです。
写真を撮るのに現金が必要なのですが、お願いしてよかったです。
SDカードとスマホにデータを転送してくれます。

I received a helmet and goggles for rent, and they also provided a mask that fits on the face. The instructors primarily speak English, but there are explanations of the driving rules available in Japanese, so as long as you pay attention to the instructions, you don't need to worry. There are several photo spots along the way, and the instructors enthusiastically take pictures for you. If you go after watching Jurassic Park, it might be a great way to experience a pilgrimage to a sacred site. (It seems to be a filming location for another work as well.) There were also places where you could experience horseback riding, so I thought I would like to try that next time.

ヘルメット、ゴーグルはレンタルで顔につけているマスクのようなものはいただけました。
基本インストラクターの方は英語なのですが、運転のルールなどは日本語の説明も用意されているので、説明をしっかり観ていれば心配ありません。
ところどころ撮影スポットがあり、インストラクターの方が、ノリノリで写真を撮ってくれます。
ジュラシックパークを観てから行くと聖地巡礼を味わえていいかもしれないです。(別の作品のロケ地でもあるみたいです。)
他にも乗馬などが体験できる場所もあったので、次はそちらにも行ってみたいなと思いました。

They were in contact with us the entire time. Their communication was spectacular! They were there before we got there, waiting with the sign and made it extra special to start off our anniversary trip!

The view from 150 meters high was very pleasant and absolutely amazing! The explanations at the reception and the instructions for putting on the belts on the boat were easy to understand. There were four groups on board, and we were the first, but taking off while receiving cheers from the other groups waiting on the boat and splashing into the sea was also a lot of fun!! My feet and backside got a little wet, but it dried quickly. Since it was a rare and valuable opportunity, I asked for a photo shoot, purchased an SD card, and transferred the data to my smartphone as well. I'm glad I asked for the photos since we couldn't take them ourselves.

150mの高さから見る景色はとても気持ち良く最高でした！
受付での説明、船でのベルトなどの装着説明も分かりやすかったです。4組乗船して、その中で1番目でしたが船で待っている他のグループの人達からの歓声を受けて飛び立つのも、海にポチャッと落ちるのもまた楽しかったです！！足とお尻が少し濡れる程度なのですぐ乾きました。
滅多にない貴重な機会なので写真撮影をお願いしてSDカード購入、スマホにもデータを移行させてもらいました。自分たちでは撮れない写真なので頼んで良かったです。

It was the best two hours, exceeding all expectations!! The vast canyon is definitely worth experiencing. The staff were all kind and fun. The kids had a great time as well. Since it's quite a distance from Waikiki, I think having a shuttle service is more convenient.

期待の何倍も以上に最高の2時間でした！！広大な渓谷は体験する価値あり。スタッフさんも親切で楽しい方々ばかり。子供達もとてもとても楽しんでいました。かなりワイキキから距離があるので送迎付きの方が便利だと思います。

It was a concentrated tour that allowed us to enjoy pineapples and various sightseeing spots in Hawaii. I signed up for the tour because I wanted to visit the Dole fields and factory, and I felt it was at a satisfying level, providing even more experiences than I expected.

From our hotel in Waikiki, we took a car, and the guide, who was alone, had an incredible amount of knowledge about the various famous spots in Hawaii along the way, including the Dole fields and factory.

It seems that Dole is a different company from the Dole Plantation, which is a tourist attraction across the street. I mistakenly thought that if we went to the Dole Plantation ourselves, we could have the same factory tour. Since we wouldn't have been able to visit the fields and factory without signing up for this tour, I believe it was a valuable experience. (After the factory tour, we had a little time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we could also buy souvenirs.)

At the fields, we were able to see the harvesting and had fresh pineapples cut right there. After the factory tour, we enjoyed cold cut pineapples and straight pineapple juice produced at the factory, which made me very happy. (They also offer coffee and chocolate tastings, and there are some small souvenirs for sale.)

After that, we went to Haleiwa for some free time, and later at the macadamia nut souvenir shop, we could taste many samples and buy souvenirs. Additionally, we visited two coffee shops where we had restroom breaks and could taste a lot of coffee.

On the way back, we took photos of King Kamehameha and, even from the car, we could see Hawaii's Izumo Taisha, Chinatown, and wall art while listening to the guide share a lot about Hawaii's history, which was educational.

I think it was a very fulfilling day.

パイナップルづくしと各所のハワイ観光ができて濃縮したツアーでした。
ドールの畑や工場見学がしたくて、申し込んだツアーでしたが、満足できるレベルでしたし、それ以上の体験ができたと感じています。

ワイキキのホテルから車に乗って、道中の所々のハワイの名所からドールの畑や工場の案内まで、お一人でされていたガイドさんの知識量は凄かったです。

ドールは畑・工場と、向かい側にある観光名所のドールプランテーションとは違う会社のようで、自分たちでドールプランテーションに行けば同じ工場見学ができると勘違いしていました。今回のツアーに申し込まないと畑と工場の見学はできないので、貴重な体験だったと思います。（工場見学後にドールプランテーションにも少し行く時間があったので、そちらのお土産も買うことができました。）

畑では収穫の見学時に畑のパイナップルをその場でカットしていただけて、工場見学後も冷たいカットパインと工場で製造しているストレートのパイナップルジュースをいただけてパイナップルづくしで幸せでした。（コーヒーやチョコレートの試食、ちょっとしたお土産も売っています。）

その後、ハレイワに行って自由行動と、その後、マカダミアナッツのお土産屋さんではたくさん試食ができてお土産も買えました。
その他にも二か所コーヒーショップに行けてトイレ休憩もコーヒーの試飲がたくさんできました。

帰りはカメハメハ大王の写真を撮ったり、車中からでも、ハワイの出雲大社、チャイナタウン、ウォールアートを見ながら帰れましたし、ガイドさんのハワイの歴史をたくさん聞きながら勉強にもなりました。

とても、充実した1日になったと思います。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I want to go to the sandbar! This time, the afternoon tour was a bit less crowded and it was so much fun. The bumper tubes were also a great addition!

ハワイに来たら毎回サンドバーに行きたくなります！今回は午後ツアーで少し空いていてとても楽しかったです。バンパーチューブもつけて最高でした！

Movie site tour was incredible, best scenery of east side of island.

The scenery was beautiful, and the breeze felt nice! It was also fun to dip into the sea when getting off! I would like to participate again.

景色も綺麗で、風もきもちよかったです！
降りる時に海に浸かってそれもまた楽しかったです！また参加したいと思います。

The weather was nice, and the view was amazing. It swayed a bit with the wind, but knowing the sea was below made it not so scary. I think those who are sensitive to motion should take motion sickness medication on the boat. I was mostly fine, but I felt a little queasy after getting off.

天気も良く、見渡す景色が最高でした。
時々風で揺れますが、下が海だと思うとそれほど怖くはなかったです。
船は揺れに弱い人は酔い止めが必要と思います。
私は大丈夫な方ですが、降りた後少し酔った感じがありました。

We had a blast. We signed up for the banana boat add on…it was so much fun. The water was clear and waist deep. We saw turtles and lots of fish. Live music is interactive and the boat provides plenty of shade for when you need a break out of the sun.

I read reviews that mentioned it gets quite dirty due to the dust, so I went with clothes I wouldn't mind throwing away. However, since the weather was really clear, I didn't get that dirty after all. They also provided bandanas and goggles to cover my nose and mouth, so my face didn't get too dirty either. I think it's a good idea to bring wet wipes or something similar!

I had a lot of fun experiencing something I can't do in Japan!

砂埃でかなり汚れるとの口コミを見たので捨てても良い服で行きましたが、かなり快晴であったこともあり、そこまで汚れることはありませんでした。また、鼻と口を覆うバンダナとゴーグルが配られたので、顔もそんなに汚れなかったです。ただ、ウェットティッシュなどは持参すると良いと思います！

日本ではできない経験ができてとても楽しかったです！

I have experienced helicopter tours in Japan, but this was my first time on a doorless helicopter in Hawaii. On the day of the flight, there were clouds and wind, and once we took off, it was quite bumpy 😨 I wondered if I would tell the pilot that I was a bit worried, but I guess that's just how it is in Hawaii. Despite the slight turbulence, the pilot remained completely unfazed, calmly explaining the spots we were flying over (I couldn't understand anything since I don't speak English, though! (laughs)).

That said, the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. It's a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it! Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was incredible! However, I read in previous reviews that they used to lend out phone cases for free, but now it's $5. Also, during the flight, they took dozens of photos from almost the same angle... I bought them as a keepsake. So, I give it four stars (laughs). But the experience is definitely worth it!

日本でもヘリ遊覧はしたことがありますが、ハワイでのドア無しヘリは初体験。
当日は雲と風もあり、飛んでみたらかなりの揺れ😨大丈夫かなぁ〜…と途中でパイロットに言おうかと思いましたが、ハワイではいつもの事なんですね。多少の揺れでもパイロットは微動だにせず、淡々と操縦しながらスポットの説明をしていました（英語が分からないので何言ってるかさっぱり分かりませんでしたが（笑））
とは言え、上空からのハワイの景色は最高でした。少し高めですが、それなりの価値はあると思いますよ！ダイヤモンドヘッドを上空からなんて♪
でも、前の口コミでは携帯ケースを無料で貸してくれたとなっていましたが、今は有料で5$でした。あと、フライト時に写真をバチバチ撮られてほぼ同じアングルが数十枚…記念なので買いましたが。なので星4つ（笑）
でも、体験の価値はありますよ！

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.

チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。

I was nervous because the shuttle bus didn't arrive on time, but I was able to relax on the spacious bus. Once we arrived, the staff provided explanations in Japanese and advised us to secure our spots early. Since it was a Sunday, it was fairly crowded, and some slides had lines of nearly 30 minutes. Perhaps because the lazy river was out of service, the wave pool was quite crowded, and it was difficult to secure a float. I was satisfied to experience slides that are not commonly found in Japan, but I wish I had a bit more time to stay.

迎えのバスが時間になっても来なくてドキドキしましたが、大きなバスでゆったり向かうことができました。
現地では、日本語でスタッフの方からの説明があり、先に場所を確保しておいた方がいいこと等、教えていただけました。
日曜日だったこともあり、まぁまぁ混んでいてスライダー等は３０分近く並ぶものもありました。流れるプールが運休だったこともあってか、波のプールは人が多くて浮き輪を確保するのに苦労しました。
日本ではなかなかないサイズのスライダーを体験できて満足ですが、もう少し滞在時間があればよかったなと思います。

Laka was fun and entertaining and he made us all feel like family. Fantastic tour guide, exceptional at sharing his amazing aloha spirit. We were blessed to be with him.

In 2011, it was called Hawaiian Water Adventure Park. The name has changed, and the slides have been renewed, making it quite enjoyable even as an adult.

It was a Saturday during the summer vacation season in America, but it wasn't too crowded, and I only had to wait about 15 minutes for any slide, which was comfortable. One reason I was able to enjoy my time was because I had a drink-all-you-can voucher. With the pool, the heat, and the strong sunlight, I was really thirsty, but since I could keep hydrating, I was able to avoid heatstroke and have fun.

Since it opened at 10:30, I took an Uber from Waikiki via the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. As there were two adults, we left around 4 PM, did about three hours of shopping at Waikele, and then called another Uber to go home.

Having visited Hawaii multiple times, I think if you have a general sense of the area and know what you want to do and where you want to go, you could easily spend a day here and still have enough time. However, if you're on a tight schedule with just three nights and five days, unfortunately, I can't recommend it. But it’s really fun, and since there are slides you can't experience in Japan, I definitely suggest it for those who have some extra time!

2011年？当時はハワイアンウォーターアドベンチャーパークという名前でした。名前が変わり、スライダー類もリニューアルされていて大人になった今もかなり楽しめました。
土曜日かつアメリカは夏休みシーズンでしたが、そこまで混雑しておらずどのスライダーも並んでも15分ほどで快適でした。
ドリンク飲み放題のバウチャーだったことがかなり快適に過ごせた理由の一つかと思います。プール、暑い、日差しが強いなのでとにかく喉が乾くのですが飲み放題なのでどんどん水分補給出来たことで熱中症にもならず楽しめました。

10時半オープンのためワイキキからカカアコのファーマーズマーケット経由でuberに乗り、大人2人だったため16時過ぎに退散、ワイケレで3時間ほどショッピングして再度uberを呼んで帰りました。
ハワイに何度も訪れていてなんとなくの土地勘や、やりたいこと行きたい場所が決まっていれば1日ここで遊んでも時間が足りると思いますが、3泊5日でとにかく時間が無い時は残念ながらおすすめできません。。が、本当に楽しいですし、日本では体験できないスライダーばかりなのでお日にちに余裕がある方はぜひ♡

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We not only got to see some amazing views we were treated to local legends and learned about the culture. Saw several recognizable, iconic scenes/props from some of our favorite movies.

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.

During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.

大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。

ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました！
また行く機会があったら参加したいです。

The pre-lecture was quite simplified with gestures and such. However, the captain and everyone else on board were all nice guys and very reliable. We went out to sea about three times to catch some waves, and on the second time, we managed to ride a pretty big wave, which was really exciting. It lasted about 25 minutes, but based on the waves we caught, it felt like it could have gone on a bit longer.

事前のレクチャーは、ジェスチャーなどで、かなり簡略化しています。
ただ船長はじめ、一緒に乗ってくれる方々は、みなナイスガイでとても頼もしいです。
波をつかまえに、３回ほど、沖の方へいき、２回目にかなり大きな波に乗れ、かなーり盛り上がりました。
だいたい２５分くらいで、終了でしたが、乗れた波の感じで、時間はもう少し長くなるのかな？って感じです。

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

Greeted with all of the information we needed to check in. Great tour by Mikey. Lots to see and it kept everyone highly entertained. Highly recommend to anyone, the views are breathtaking.

Thank you for teaching me so kindly; I had a lot of fun and time flew by! It was easy to understand because you spoke in Japanese! I want to participate again!

丁寧に教えてくださり、とても楽しくあっというまに時間がなくなりました！日本語で話してくれたので分かりやすかったです！また参加したいです！

The breathtaking view from above was very impressive. The explanations were given very kindly and thoroughly, making for an enjoyable time.

空からみる絶景の景色がとても印象的でした。とても丁寧に優しく説明してくださり楽しい時間になりました。

KBOS provided lunch, music, and all the water equipment we needed!
