All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We participated with a group of six, including family and friends. Since no one spoke Japanese, we managed with gestures and simple English. I cut the base of my thumb when I grabbed onto the bar due to the shock of arrival. There is also a section where you have to climb a rope for about 20 meters, so I recommend bringing leather gloves with fingertips exposed or gloves with grip. Additionally, the helmets are equipped for GoPro mounts, so if you want to bring one, a helmet mount or chest mount would be good.

友人家族含め6人で参加しました。日本語が通じる人は全くいないので、ジェスチャーと簡単な英語でなんとか乗り切りました。バーにつかまって到着時の衝撃で親指の付け根を切ってしまいました。途中20mほど綱登りをする場面もあるので、指先が出た革のグローブまたは滑り止めのついた軍手などを持って行くことをおすすめします。また、ヘルメットにゴープロがつけられるようになっているので持って行きたいひとはヘルメットマウントまたはチェストマウントがよかです。

My spouse and I participated in a snorkeling tour. Our instructor, Chieko, provided explanations about Hawaii during the ride, which really got us excited. When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the waves were calm and the weather was perfect, allowing us to swim close to sea turtles! I highly recommend this snorkeling experience. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, please be careful.

Thanks to our instructor Chieko, I feel like I'm falling in love with the charm of Hawaii.

Buying with cash is cheaper than using a card.
Since I also gave a tip, I recommend participating with cash.

現金で買う方がカードより安いです
チップも渡したので、現金をもって参加されることをおすすめします。

I participated because I wanted to swim with wild dolphins on my honeymoon. I was torn between middle school and university, but I chose university after seeing the difference in the boats. I was worried about getting seasick since I easily get motion sickness, but I was so excited to meet the dolphins that I looked far away and was thrilled, and I didn't feel sick at all. We spotted a pod of dolphins right after we set sail. I could see the dolphins jumping from the boat. Once we jumped into the sea, I desperately followed the guide and was able to see the dolphins. During the second time, I think I saw even more dolphins—there seemed to be about 30 of them. I thought we would try multiple times, but it ended after two times. Perhaps it was because everyone was able to see them well. After that, we spent time on the slide and snorkeling. I rented a wetsuit, but maybe because I was so excited, I didn't feel too cold and it might not have been necessary. I was very moved and satisfied, so I would like to do it again! I'm thinking about participating in the night manta university next time!!!

ハネムーンで野生のイルカと泳いでみたくて参加しました。中学と迷いましたが船の違いを見て大学にしました。乗り物酔いしやすいので心配でしたが、イルカと会えるのが楽しみで遠くを見たりワクワクしていたら全く酔いませんでした。出港してからすぐにイルカの群れを発見できました。船の上からも跳んでいるイルカが見えました。海に飛び込んでからは必死でガイドさんに着いていきイルカを見ることができました。2回目はもっと沢山のイルカを見れました。30頭くらいいたような気がします。もっと何回もトライするのかと思っていましたが、2回で終わりでした。全員しっかり見ることができたからでしょうか。その後はスライダーをやったりシュノーケリングをして過ごしました。ウェットスーツをレンタルしましたが興奮していたからかあまり寒く感じず必要なかったかもしれません。とても感動し満足だったのでまたお願いしたいです！次は夜間のマンタ大学にも参加してみようかなと思います！！！

THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST DO WHEN YOU GO TO OAHU!!! Riding the ATV was sooo much fun and the view was BREATHTAKING!!! The staff was outstanding as well and made sure we had fun. I would honestly come back to the island just for this.

I joined this tour because I wanted to interact with dolphins. I was able to touch many dolphins and even swim with them while holding on! It was so much fun. Since you wear a life jacket, I think it's fine for those who can swim a little. They provide explanations in Japanese at the very beginning, and the trainer can speak a little Japanese, so everything went quite smoothly.

イルカと触れ合いたくこのツアーに参加しました。イルカを沢山触らせてくれたりイルカにつかまり一緒に泳げました！すごく楽しかったです。ライフジャケットを着るので少し泳げる方なら大丈夫だと思います。一番最初に日本語で説明してくれるのとトレーナーさんが少しだけ日本語を話せるのでけっこうスムーズにできました。

This tour was really awesome! The staff was extremely helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They had so many children on the tour I was on and they handled everything very safely and professionally. This tour doesn't guarantee dolphin sightings but they found them very quickly and easily and were very diligent to be sure everyone had a chance to see them. The Dolphins were in groups of 3-5 and I saw them at least 5 times. It was excellent.
The reef they brought us to was awesome! tons of fish and I saw at least 4 turtles.
I would highly recommend this tour. There are many that just to dolphin sightings, not swimming. Or they only allow 2-4 people in at once so youre not in the water the whole time, but they took everyone at once and kept a tight knit group and had recommendations on how to not scare the dolphins away. It was great. I didn't do any of the water sports because the snorkeling was so good but others looked to be having fun.
Great staff!
Great dolphins!
Great snorkel spot!
Great entertainment on the way back!
Very safe but also flexible.
Check it out for sure. Best day in Hawaii.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN. THE STAFF WAS AMAZING, EASY TO WORK WITH, PATIENT, FUN, EXCITING, AND EXPERIENCED. I HAVE 2 11YR OLDS AND IT WAS THEIR FIRST TIME. THEY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE HELP OF THE CREW. WE WILL DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN.

The boat staff was absolutely fantastic! They spoke primarily in English and had a fun vibe, but their tone was easy to understand. The highlight was definitely the parasailing. It was incredibly beautiful and felt amazing. There were even a few little surprises... Above all, I was happy that my wife enjoyed it. There was an elderly mother in our group, and she had a great time. My daughter was a bit nervous at first, but it seems she enjoyed it. The newlyweds also looked like they were having a lot of fun.

ボートのスタッフがまず最高！英語主体でノリがいいけど、でも解かりやすい感じの口調で喋ってくれる。又、一番は、パラセイル。すごく綺麗で、気持ち良かった。ちょっとしたサプライズもあったり･･･。何より、妻が喜んでくれたのが嬉しかった。同行の中に年配のお母さんがいたけど、楽しんでいた。娘は、初めてちょっとビビってた。でも、楽しかったみたいだ。新婚さんも楽しそうだった。

I was unsure whether to choose the 90m or 120m roller coaster since I'm not great with heights, but I went with the 120m option. Surprisingly, because the sea was below, I didn't feel that high up and had a lot of fun. When we dropped close to the water, my feet touched it, but other than that, I didn't get wet at all.

I had a hard time communicating in Japanese; the receptionist could only speak a little. Also, I wasn't sure about the tipping amount or when to give it, so we ended up giving $10 for the two of us when we disembarked.

ジェットコースターがまるでダメな私なので90mにするか120mにするかで迷いましたが120mにしました。そんな私でも下が海だからなのか、そんなに高さも感じず、とても楽しめました。
海すれすれまで高度が下がった時は足がつきましたが、それ以外は全く濡れませんでした。
日本語は殆ど通じませんでした。受付のお姉さんが少し話せる程度でした。
あと、チップの金額と渡すタイミングがわからなかったので下船事に2人で10ドル渡してきました。

The shuttle arrived on time, and although the staff were not Japanese, they explained things in broken Japanese, which was fine!
It was refreshing to head out to sea by boat.
We flew with three people, and although I thought it might be scary because it was higher than I imagined, it was quiet up there with hardly any turbulence, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. My 7-year-old daughter was also excited!
We were able to take photos ourselves and took many pictures.
It was a great experience!

時間通りに送迎車が来ましたし、スタッフは日本人ではありませんが、カタコトながらに日本語でも説明してくれて問題なし！
ボートで沖に向かうのも爽快でした♪
3人で飛びましたが、想像よりも高くて怖いかなと思いきや、上空は静かでほとんど揺れもなく、景色を楽しめました★７歳の娘も興奮でした♪
自分たちで撮影もでき、沢山写真撮りました。
とても良い体験ができました！

The tour itself was very good and interesting, especially if you're a history buff. Only disappointment was we had to pick up 1 tour member at the airport and waited for over a half hour for him and he wasn't even there, he showed up later on. We could have used that extra half hour for site seeing on the USS Missouri or other museums at Pearl Harbor. Guide Jay was knowledgeable and engaging. Overall, a great tour with lots to see!

The event was held even in light rain. The April rain was a bit chilly. I experienced the 120m, and it felt great. If it had been sunny, it might have been an even more spectacular view! Maybe I should have gone for the 150m!

小雨でも開催。4月の雨はちょっと寒かったです。120mを体験しました。気持ちよかった。晴れていたら、さらに絶景だったのかな♡150mにしてもよかったかも！

This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!

There was a morning call, and there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. The staff were all fun people, and the dancing was great. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see dolphins and swim with tropical fish. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I think I could have enjoyed it even more if I had been more accustomed to it. To make it a good memory, taking motion sickness medication is essential. There were a few people who got sick and looked like they were struggling.

モーニングコールもあり、日本語の出来るガイドさんもいたので安心♡
スタッフの皆さんも楽しい人たちでダンスもよかった。いい体験になりました。イルカも見れて熱帯魚とも泳げました♡
シュノーケル初体験だったので慣れていればさらに満喫出来たなぁって思います。よい思い出にするために酔い止めは必須。酔った人が何人かいて、しんどそうでしたよ。

I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was able to enter the ocean with a kickboard. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I want to take advantage of the scholarship program to try again. I had a lot of fun playing with sea turtles and tropical fish. The current in the ocean was strong, making it difficult to swim. The wind was also strong and it got cold, so I highly recommend borrowing a wetsuit (it's only $10). You can also buy the photo data for $50, so I recommend seeing and enjoying it with your own eyes.

泳ぎが苦手な私でしたが、ビート板を貸してもらって海に入ることができました。イルカを水中で確認することができなくてちょっと残念でしたが、（いたのに確認できなかったことが残念）奨学金制度を利用してリベンジしたいです。ウミガメやトロピカルフィッシュとはたくさん遊べました。海の流れが速く、泳ぐのが大変。風も強く体も冷えるので参加する人は是非ウエットスーツを借りてください。（10ドルで安いですよ）写真のデーターも50ドルで買えるので、自分の目でしっかり見て楽しむのがお薦めです。

On the day, several similar buses arrived, and my bus was a little over 10 minutes late, so I was anxious about whether it would come. I also happened to be unable to reach them by phone... However, once I arrived, there were people who spoke Japanese to explain things, so I was able to enjoy my time without any particular worries! The weekdays after Golden Week were extremely empty! There weren't many Japanese people around either.

当日は同じようなバスが何台が来てて、自分のバスは10分ちょっと遅れて来たので、来るか不安だった。電話問い合わせもたまたま繋がらなくて…。
でも、着いてからは日本語話す人が説明してくれたりと特に不安なく、楽しく過ごせた！GW明けの平日は、めちゃめちゃ空いてた！日本人もそんないなかった。

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment

We participated as a couple in our 50s along with our son. Besides us, there were a family of three and two honeymoon couples. Since it was mentioned in the comments, we decided to challenge the 150m! It was incredibly fun and felt great. We had a wonderful experience. The shuttle car was clean, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was cheerful and entertaining. The boat was also clean, and the crew was lively and made it a fantastic time. Our son and his partner even got playfully splashed, which became a great memory of the trip. We definitely want to participate again! ^ ^

50代夫婦&息子カップルで参加しました。私たちの他には3人連れの親子さん、ハネムーンカップル2組が一緒でした。コメにもあったので、折角なので150mに挑戦！最高に楽しかったです。そして気持ちよかった。良い体験をしました。送迎の車も綺麗で運転手の『やのさん』明るく楽しませてくれました。ボートも綺麗でクルーも明るく盛り上げて下さりステキな時間でした。
息子カップルもワザとお尻をドボンされて、これも旅の良い想い出になったようです。
また是非参加したいです^ ^

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!

We booked this activity for our first full day in Oahu. The shuttle pickup location was fairly easy to locate with the instructions given. The boat was very nice and spacious, and the staff were friendly. The food and drink selection for lunch was good. I enjoyed the hot tea and coffee options as it got a little chilly at times out on the desk. We saw whales right away, right along the coast of Diamond Head. They tracked the whales and we were able to see the pair come up to the surface multiple times during the course of the trip. The guide was very informative, giving us a lot of facts about the whales, their migratory patterns, etc. Make sure to take your Dramamine... I bought some and didn't have any issues... but I definitely saw a few people who got seasick and did not have quite as good of an experience as we did. The professional photographer was a nice addition, and allowed us to enjoy being present in the moment while they captured the whales. We purchased two prints at the end of the trip that were beautiful. Make sure to bring a light jacket, and binoculars (I was glad I remembered mine!).

Amazing perfect couldn't of been better. No volleyball tho :(

Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!

あいにくのお天気のため、気温が予想より低く、船上は風もあり少し寒く感じました。
ビーチタオル必須ですね、小さめのタオルだったのが後悔（笑）
ツアースタッフの皆さんは、暖まれるようにビーチバレーをしてくださったり
声かけで盛り上げてくださいました。
船上で食べるハンバーガーは格別！
タイトルがBBQとなってるのは、パテなどを焼くからなんでしょうかね？
午後からフリーになるので、とても１日を有効に使えました！

A must-see for anyone visiting the Islands.
Lots of historical exhibits with helpful tour guides.
Lots of information for those not familiar with the events leading up to the attack.
As a history major and WW2 buff, this was a must-see for me, especially as my grandfather was aboard the USS Dobbin that morning.
Don’t forget to check out Ford Island and the airplane exhibits there.
Be sure to bring a few extra bills and leave donations in the boxes aboard the ships and help preserve our history for generations to come.

I’ve been on several shark dives in the past - almost all without cages. This experience was right up there with all the rest.
Without a cage you really get to understand that, unlike Shark Week hype, sharks are not out to get us.
You share the ocean and appreciate them as they go about their own business. We had up to 17 sharks in the vicinity on the my second trip, including Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads. A couple would cruise by closer, but most seemed content to keep their distance.
The team made both dives very informative as well as enjoyable. Their cameraman ensures that you’ll have pictures to share with family and friends. I used my GoPro, but still got the pictures they took as well.
If I’m ever back on Oahu, I’ll book a couple more outings with them.

I really wanted to try this, so I made an online reservation the day before. During the experience, everything was in English, which made me a bit anxious as I couldn't fully understand the explanations, but the friendly staff communicated with gestures, so it wasn't a problem. My mother, who is turning 60, also had a great time, and it became the best memory of our mother-daughter trip! We chose the six-course option, but since it repeats the same course twice, the three-course option might be sufficient. Also, even though it includes transportation, it is quite expensive, so I give it four stars.

どうしてもやってみたくて、前日にネット予約。体験中は全て英語だったので説明を完全に理解できず不安でしたが、気さくなスタッフがジェスチャー交え教えてくれるので問題ありませんでした。還暦の母もとても楽しんでくれて、母娘旅の最高の思い出になりました！
私たちは6本コースにしましたが、同じコースを2回まわる内容なので、3本コースでいいかも。あと、送迎付きとはいえ結構高いので★4つで。

It was great that the hotel we were staying at was close to the meeting point, so we could go without a shuttle! By the way, it's a hotel within Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. The instructor spoke broken Japanese, but their friendly personality made it enjoyable! With the early morning plan and discounts available, I think it's quite a good deal since you can make the most of your day.

泊まってるホテルが集合場所に近かったので、送迎なしで行けたのも、良かったです！ちなみにヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のホテルですが、歩いても5分もかからないです。インストラクターの人もカタコトの日本語ですが、楽しませようとする人柄も良かったです！早朝プランで、割引きも有り、1日をフルに使えるので、かなりお得かと思います。

My first parasailing experience! The staff were locals and explained everything in English, which made me a bit anxious, but they kindly guided us even though we couldn't speak English, so there were no issues! The time spent in the air was longer than I expected and very comfortable! If you have a GoPro or similar device, I highly recommend bringing it! I only had my phone, so I had to leave it behind, but a Japanese couple who participated with us kindly took some photos of me from below with my phone! I have the stunning views etched in my memory, but I do regret not being able to capture the scenery from above in photos!

初のパラセーリング！
スタッフの方は現地の方で説明は全て英語で少し不安もありましたが、英語が話せない私たちにも優しく誘導してくださり問題なかったです！
空にいる時間は思ったよりも長く非常に快適でした！ゴープロなど持ってる方はぜひ持っていった方が良いです！私は携帯のみしかなかったので携帯は置いていくことになり、たまたま一緒に参加した日本人夫婦の方が私の携帯で下からの写真を少し撮って下さいました！
絶景は目に焼き付けましたが、上からの景色を写真におさめたかったなぁとそこだけ後悔です！

The tour was better than we had anticipated. We went with a 20 month old toddler, sea was calm.
The bus that picked us from the hotel was clean and the bus ride was relaxing.
The atmosphere was friendly, tour guides were fun and professional. Food was excellent, they catered for my spouse who has special dietary needs.
Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely go back to Sandbar with Captain Bob's sandbar adventure
