All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This review is more for the Hanauma Bay. Such a beautiful place and all-around outstanding experience. I would definitely recommend a visit even if you don't plan on snorkling. I am grateful to have found this tour to take.

I am satisfied with the careful instruction provided to my 10-year-old son. He was able to ride easily, and once he could, he progressed quickly to the next level, which was efficient and seemed to bring him a sense of satisfaction. Thank you very much.

10歳の愚息を丁寧に教えて頂き満足です。
簡単に乗れるようになり、乗れたら次の段階とドンドン進んでくれて効率がよく、本人の満足感もあったようです。ありがとうございました。

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time. Clean boat, great crew, nice lunch and got to swim with the Turtles! Will definitely do this cruise again when back on Waikiki.

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.

I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.

アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・　バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

The cruise was very good, but I didn't know who to ask for the ticket that you receive when you don't see any whales, so I ended up not getting it.

クルーズとしてはとても良かったのですが、くじらが見れなかった時にもらえる券が誰に聞いたらもらえるのかわからず、結局もらうことができませんでした。

Our family of three had our first experience. We challenged ourselves at a height of 120 meters. The captain and the staff who operated the boat were very kind and fun. They encouraged me and my son, who were both nervous, and thanks to them, even someone like me, who gets scared easily, was able to enjoy it. My son said, "I want to jump again!" It seems it was an amazing experience for him. If we have the chance, we definitely want to challenge ourselves at 150 meters next time. It became a wonderful memory in Hawaii. Thank you to all the staff. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to try parasailing!

家族3人で初体験。高さ120mにチャレンジ。
キャプテンとボートを運転していたスタッフが
とても親切で楽しい方でした。緊張をしている私や息子に色々と声をかけてくれて、そのお陰でビビリ屋の私でも楽しむことができました。息子は「もう1回飛びたい！」と言うほど最高な経験だ になったようです。また機会があれば絶対に150メートルにチャレンジしたいですね。ハワイでのいい思い出になりました♡スタッフのみなさん、有難うございました。パラセイリングを体験したい方には、かなりオススメです♡

I had a great time. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, and I couldn't see the sunset, but I thoroughly enjoyed the food and live music. However, the air conditioning on the ship was quite strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.

楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
残念ながら曇りで、日の入りは見ることができませんでしたが、お料理や生演奏は満喫できまきた。
ただ、船内がけっこう空調がきいていたので、上着を持参する方がいいかもしれません。

I went on a cold, rainy day, but since I was going to get wet anyway, the rain didn't bother me. However, it was a cold day, and my third-grade son had purple lips... There were quite a few thrilling attractions that both kids and adults could enjoy together. Perhaps because it was raining, we were able to play a lot without waiting in line too much.

寒い雨の日に行きましたが、どうせ濡れるので雨でも平気でした。ただ寒い日だったので、小3の息子は唇が紫になっていました…
かなりスリリングなアトラクションが多くて子どもも大人も一緒に楽しめました。
雨だったからか、それほど並ばなくてもたくさん遊べました。

On March 21, we hadn't been blessed with great weather, but this day was sunny. I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw the luxurious Star of Honolulu. We set sail! Out to Diamond Head. No whales. We desperately searched with many passengers. Unfortunately, the approximately two-hour voyage ended without sighting any. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. I wish more information about the probability of sightings for this time of year had been provided the previous week.

3月21日、なかなかいい天気に恵まれてませんでしたが、この日は晴れました。豪華なスターオブホノルル号を見たとき胸の高鳴りを押さえられませんでした。出航！ダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで。いません。クジラいません。多くの乗船客とともに必死に探しました。むなしくも約2時間の航行終了。海からのダイヤモンドヘッドはきれいでした。この時期は前週での確率の情報をもっと提供してほしいものです。

It's all about timing when it comes to seeing whales, so I understand that. However, it was mentioned that if we couldn't see them, we could create a lei or have a ukulele experience, but we didn't do that. That's not fair ( ´∵｀) The buffet had a limited selection as well. I feel like I wasted my time...

鯨に会えるのはタイミングなので仕方ないですが、会えない時はレイの作成かウクレレ体験ができると書いてあったのに、してません。
嘘はダメでしょ( ´∵｀)
ブュッフェ料理も品数が少ないし。
ムダな時間を使いました…

The crew members were cheerful, and the relaxed rules on the boat and the sea were uniquely Hawaiian, which was great. I was surprised to learn that bringing bananas or banana-patterned items on board is prohibited! The reason is that they can make fishing slippery. I wonder if someone brought bananas this time, which is why we didn't see any dolphins? At the snorkeling spot, the crew searched for the best position for that day. The sea was clear, and we could see the seabed at over 25 meters. It would have been amazing to encounter dolphins... Additionally, I was excited to have a rare encounter with whales in March. There were many sea turtles while we were cruising, so it was a tour that made me feel the richness of nature. Although we didn't see any dolphins this time, I heard that next time I come to Hawaii, I can participate in the free dolphin school, so I want to try again.

船員の方が陽気で、船上や海のルールなどもハワイ独特な緩さがあってよかったです。驚いたのはボートにバナナまたバナナ柄のものを持ち込み禁止!!理由は漁が滑るからだそうです。今回、バナナを持ち込んでしまった方がいたからイルカがいなかったのかなー？シュノーケリングスポットではその日のベストポジションを船員の方が探してくれていました。当日の海は潮が澄んでいて海底25m以上は目視ができました。イルカに出会えたら最高だったのになー...また、3月では珍しい鯨との遭遇に興奮致しました。走行中にはたくさんの海ガメがいたので自然の豊かさを感じるツアーでした。今回、イルカには会えませんでしたが次回ハワイに来た時は無料でイルカ中学に参加できるとのことなのでリベンジしたいと思います。

We were a family of four (a couple, a 12-year-old, and a 6-year-old girl) and rented a car to get to the location. Since we arrived early, we spent some time feeding the fish in the sea with leftover bread from breakfast. It was really interesting to see so many fish gather around. It seemed like it was quite windy that day. My wife and our 12-year-old took motion sickness medication before boarding, so they didn't feel seasick at all. Initially, the couple and the 6-year-old jumped together, and then the 12-year-old joined us for the next jump. My wife and I were able to jump twice. It was 120 meters, but 150 meters might have been better. The kids usually don't like heights, but they were very happy thanks to the beautiful scenery and the thrill. We also purchased photos for $30. They looked like they were taken by a professional, so I definitely recommend buying them. We did various activities during our 9 days in Hawaii, but it seems that this was the kids' favorite memory. Please make sure to experience it!

家族4人（夫婦、12歳、6歳の女の子）
現地までレンタカー。
早めに集合場所についたので、朝食のパンの残りで海の魚に餌やりをして
時間をつぶしていました。非常にたくさんの魚が集まってきて面白かったです。
当日は、風が強かったみたいでした。
妻と12歳の子供は、酔い止めを飲んで乗船したため全く船酔いはしませんでした。最初は夫婦と6歳、3人で飛び、次に12歳と3人で飛びました。
私たち夫婦は、2回も飛ぶことが出来まました。
120mでしたが150mでもよかったかもしれません。
子供たちは普段高いところが苦手ですが、きれいな景色とスリルのおかげで
大変喜んでいました。
写真も30ドルで購入しました。
プロがとったような写真ですので、是非買うことをお勧めいたします。
9日間のハワイでいろいろなことをしましたが、子供たちは一番の思い出になったようです。
ぜひ体験してください。

We participated as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day, and it was very cold, so we couldn't stay in the sea for long. However, thanks to the staff's fun talks, we were able to have a great time. There was a beach volleyball net set up at the sandbar, and I think it would have been even more enjoyable on a warm day. We did snorkeling near the coral, and since it was shallow, we could see many fish up close. There were also families with small children participating, and the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely, so I recommend this activity for families!

夫婦２人で参加しました。当日は生憎のお天気でとても寒かった為、海にながく入っていることができませんでしたが、スタッフさんの楽しいトークのおかげでワイワイ楽しく過ごすことができました。サンドバーにはビーチバレーのネットが張ってあり、暖かい日であれば更に楽しかっただろうなぁと思います。シュノーケリングは珊瑚の近くで行い、浅かったため近くで沢山の魚をみることができました。小さいお子さんを連れた家族も参加されており、お子さんも安全に楽しめていたので家族で参加されるのもオススメです！

I couldn't see any whales, but I was picked up on time, and if you can't see them, you can receive a re-boarding ticket. However, that depends on whether there are available dates. It's all a matter of luck, so I would like to try again if possible.

クジラみれませんでしたが、時間通りにピックアップいただきましたし、見れない場合は再乗船チケットをもらえます。ただ、日程に空き日があれば、ですが。こればかりは運なので、また可能であれば挑戦したいと思います。

The weather was cloudy with some waves, and the visibility wasn't great, but thanks to Dan and Chieko's excellent guidance, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) twice. We also came across large schools of fish and saw many colorful and rare fish.

Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.

We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.

天気は曇りで波も少しあり、透明度は良くなかったけどダンさんとチエコさんの抜群の案内でホヌに2回も遭遇しました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.
魚の大群にも遭遇したり、カラフルな魚や珍しい魚をいっぱい見ましたꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
上の子12歳、下の子が6歳だったので途中で休憩しながら進んでくれました。途中下の子のメガネがズレてパニックになってる時もすぐに対応してくれ、しかもウチの嫁さんはｶﾅﾂﾞﾁで泳げないのに優しく教えていただき。ホヌにも遭遇しました‎|•'-'•)و✧ 途中でしんどくなり、下の子とリタイヤしましたが本人は満足そうですꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
また機会があればお願いしたいです。
これから、シュノーケルを考えてる方がいるなら、オススメします‎|•'-'•)و✧
ただし天気や波でどうにもならない日もあるみたいなので、そこだけ利用者も理解は必要です。

Unfortunately we didn’t see any whales on the cruise (the same cruise the day before saw 8 we heard from another passenger), but they gave us a voucher to return because they guarantee you will see whales. We found the crew to be fun and friendly. We appreciated the drinks and snacks. My kids and I have been boating a lot so the rough seas and rainy weather didn’t bother us, but several passengers were sick. A day on the ocean with beautiful island views, regardless of rain, is still better than a day at work or school!

In March, I was disappointed by the weather, but the staff was quick and efficient, which made me feel at ease during the experience. I participated only in parasailing, with a pickup at 7:50 and returned to the hotel by 10:30. I chose the highest course (150m?), but I think the crew might not have been aware of it. The airtime seemed to be less than 10 minutes... It was unexpectedly a physically demanding activity, so I have no complaints about the short duration.

Although it was an additional charge, they took various photos and videos for each group, selling them as a set for about $60. Since it was just my spouse and me, we didn't buy them, but I think we would have if we had children with us. (I heard they can charge it to the hotel if you don't have cash on hand.)

You can bring a certain amount of luggage (like one beach bag) and a bath towel onto the boat. They advise against bringing valuables, but don't forget to tip... After the activity, we took a taxi boat back, which was incredible. It sped through high waves at an unbelievable pace, and I was desperately trying not to be thrown off. It seemed a bit reckless to do that without life jackets... but since we made it back safely, it became one of the fun memories.

3月の参加で、天候に恵まれず残念でしたが、スタッフさんの対応はてきぱきしていて、安心して参加できました。
パラセイリングのみ参加、0750のピックアップで、1030にホテルに戻りました。
一番高いコース(150m？)でしたが、たぶんクルーの人は把握してなかったんじゃ？滞空時間は10分もなかったような…予想外にハードなアクティビティだったので、短かった分には文句ありません。
別料金ですが、グループ毎に色々写真や動画を撮ってくれ、セットで60ドルくらいで販売があります。我々は夫婦だけでしたので買いませんでしたが、子どもが参加していたら購入していたと思う。(お金の持ち合わせがなくてもホテル請求にしてくれるらしい)
手荷物は、ある程度(ビーチバッグ1つ)+バスタオルくらいなら、持ってボートにのれます。貴重品は持ち込みご遠慮くださいとありますが、チップはお忘れなきよう…です。
アクティビティ後、タクシーボートにのって帰りますが、これが凄まじかった。波の高いところを信じられない程の全速力ですすむもので、振り落とされないように必死でした。救命胴衣もつけずにあれはちょっと無茶なのでは…無事だったので楽しい思い出の１つになりました。

It's surprisingly small, and the slides are just average. Considering the price, it's not really worth it for a full day of fun compared to Disney-class pricing. To be honest, I probably won't go again. It might be good for small children, preschoolers, and early elementary school kids, but even so, considering the distance from Waikiki, it might be better to just use the hotel pool.

意外と狭く、スライダーも普通レベル。料金から考えるとディズニークラスの料金の割には一日中遊べるかといわれるとそうでもない。
はっきり言ってもう二度と行かないだろう。
小さな子供、未就学児から小学生低学年には良いかもしれないが、それでもワイキキからの距離を考えたらホテルのプールでも良いかもしれない。

Unfortunately, there was wind on the day, and the whales did not appear at sea, which was disappointing. It was good that breakfast was included with the Viking cruise.

当日風があり、残念ながら海上にクジラは現れなかったので、がっかり。バイキングの朝食がついていたので良かった。

Overall an amazing experience I grew up in Hawaii and brought my girlfriend to experience what I had not yet experienced this wonderful catamaran experience!! Loved every aspect of it the boat ride lunch drinks jumping in and swimming with turtles it can’t be beat !!!

This was a great trip for my family! We did not get to see any dolphins but we got to see plenty of schools of fish and two sea turtles. The crew was excellent and made sure each and everyone of the guests had a great experience. Very patient with the kids and made it fun for them. Food was traditional Hawaiian meal and very good, with plenty of extra for seconds. Drinks were good too!

What an incredible experience! We got to see % sharks and they continued to swarm the cage the whole time! The crew were great! Super nice, very knowledgeable and informative. Made sure we had a great experience, My 8 & 11 year old sons loved it! Perfect for the kids! It was one of the highlights of our trip!

The weather in March was not great, with strong winds and a bit chilly. However, the whales were surprisingly active, much to the guide's amazement, and we were able to see many of them! Although it was a large cruise ship, they made precise turns and got close whenever whales appeared, which was very satisfying! I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering going.

The air conditioning inside the ship and the sea breeze on the deck were cold, so long sleeves were a must.

参加した3月はお天気もイマイチで風も強く、肌寒かったです。
しかし、ガイド？さんもびっくりする程クジラ達は活動的だったようで、たくさんのクジラを見ることができました！
大きなクルーズ船ですが、クジラが出るたび細かく方向転換したり近付いたりして頂き大満足！
迷っている方はおすすめです。

船内のクーラーやデッキの海風は寒く、長袖はマストでした。

A few years ago, I had a lot of fun, so I made a reservation to go again this time. Upon entering the park, I first thought, "Was it this narrow?" Before I knew it, I had finished playing everything, and I was wondering how to kill time until the return bus. The board lessons had almost no instruction, and everyone just rode the waves on their own. As for the all-you-can-drink option, since it's America, I guess it's unavoidable that it was mostly soda; I would have liked water to be included as an option. I feel like I might return if the prices go down or if more attractions are added.

何年か前に遊んで非常に楽しかったので、また行きたくて今回予約しました。
パークに入って、こんなに狭かったっけ？とまず思いました。
あっという間に一通り遊び終えてしまい、帰りのバスまで時間をどうやって潰そうか悩みました。
ボードのレッスンはほとんど指導なしで各自波に勝手にのるだけ。
飲み放題はアメリカだから仕方ないのか炭酸ばかりで水も選択肢に入れて欲しかったです。
値段が安くなるか、アトラクションが増えるならリピートするかなって感じです。

The weather was unfortunately cold, and I was battling the chill the whole time, but the dolphins were very smart and cute, which kept me feeling relaxed throughout. I was also able to purchase photos and videos, making for great memories.

生憎の天気でずっと寒さとの戦いでしたが、イルカがとてもお利口で可愛くて終始癒されてました。
写真やビデオも購入できるので良い思い出になりました。

You can get photos taken for $30. You can bring your own camera up high, but it's "at your own risk if you drop it" + "it might not turn out well," so if you want photos, it's best to just ask nicely. I only got my feet wet in the sea, so I hardly used my towel. The tip was about $5 to $10 per person.

写真を30ドルで撮ってくれる。自分でカメラを上空まで持ち込み可能だが「落としても自己責任」+「うまくとれない」ので、写真が欲しいなら素直にお願いするとよいでしょう。海には足くらいしか着水しなかったので、タオルはほぼ使いませんでした。チップはだいたい一人あたり5~10ドルくらいでした。

Thanks to the captain's exquisite driving, we had an exciting time filled with thrills. If you're scared, just look into the distance, and you'll be fine! It's definitely worth the challenge!

キャプテンの絶妙な運転で、わくわく感満載な時間を過ごせました。
怖い人は、遠くを見ていたら、大丈夫！
是非チャレンジする価値大です！

I was a bit anxious after reading reviews that mentioned not seeing whales and people getting seasick. I also had concerns about getting to the meeting point on my own, but I was able to smoothly take the bus from my hotel without any issues. I used the service on March 11.

It was a little cold, but the view of Waikiki from the sea was absolutely wonderful. I thought that even if I didn't see any whales, it would still be nice to go cruising.

Once we got out to sea, I was able to spot whale spouts and tails several times, and I even saw whales jumping and a mother and calf. It was great! I'm really glad I participated.

Also, once on the boat, they take photos of you, which are later sold for $20. I wanted the photos, but the price was too high for me to consider buying (I wish it were at least $5), and I felt bad declining. If you're not planning to buy, it might be better to skip the photos altogether.

クチコミを見たら、クジラが見れなくて残念とか船酔いしてる人がいたとか書いてあり不安でした。
集合場所にも自分で行かないと行けない不安もありましたが、ホテルから路線バスでスムーズに行く事が出来て、問題なし。
3月11日に利用しました。
少し寒かったのですが、海から見るワイキキは凄く素敵で、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングに来たと思えばいいかな。と思ってました。

沖に出るとクジラの潮吹きや尾ひれを何度か確認出来、そしてクジラのジャンプ？や親子を見る事が出来ました。良かった～～♪
参加して良かったと思いました。

あと船内に入ると写真を撮られるのですが、後で20ドルで販売されます。
写真は欲しかったのですが、値段が高くて買う気になれず(せめて5ドルとかにしてほしい)、断るのも申し訳なくなります。
買う気がない方は写真を撮らずにスルーした方がいいかもしれません。

I woke up early and took about an hour to arrive at the port.

Based on previous experiences, I was warned about seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication and was fully prepared, but it didn't help. However, the staff were all very kind, checking on me multiple times and showing concern. Even when I felt unwell, they went out of their way to help me see the dolphins.

We then discovered a pod of dolphins a little distance away. I will never forget the sight of dolphins swimming in the water; it gave me goosebumps.

After seeing the dolphins, we enjoyed various activities like paddle boarding, sliding, and kayaking. While we were playing, the delicious smell of grilled meat filled the air. The captain himself grilled the meat and treated us to cheeseburgers. Having a meal in the ocean with such a magnificent view was the best.

They also taught us hula dancing, making it a tour full of entertainment. I truly recommend it!

朝早くに起きて1時間ほどかけて ポートに到着

以前の体験談をみて船酔いに注意とありましたので酔い止め飲んで万全の体制で行きましたが ダメでした
でもそんな中でもスタッフの方はみんな何度も声かけてくれたり気に掛けてくれとても親切でした
気持ちが悪い中 海の中に入った時も 必要以上に気を配ってくれ、イルカを見せてあげようと一生懸命に手を貸してくれました

そして少し離れたところでイルカの群れを発見
水の中で泳ぐイルカの群れ 忘れられません 海の中で鳥肌が立ちました

イルカを見た後もパドルボードやスライダーやカヤックなどで色々楽しませてくれました
遊んでる最中に お肉の焼けるいい匂い
船長さん自らお肉を焼いてチーズバーガーを振舞ってくれました
壮大な景色の中海でのご飯は最高でした

その後もフラダンスを教えてくれたり エンターテイメント制満載のツアーでした
本当にオススメです

There were plenty of slides, and we ran around and rode them multiple times. Both adults and children had a great time.

Additionally, the FlowRider, which you can participate in for an extra fee, was really fun. Watching others struggle and laughing so hard was enjoyable; it’s amusing how things don’t always go as planned. This is a must-see!

The food and drinks inside are pricey, but the warm food you can eat when you're completely exhausted is delicious. I want to go again!

スライダーが豊富で走り回って何度も乗りました。大人も子供も十分楽しめた。

さらにお金を払って参加できるダ・フローライダーがとっても面白かったです。人のを見ながらお腹を抱えて笑えるほど なかなかうまく思い通りに行かないのがまた楽しい
これは必見ですよ

中の飲食は高いけど疲れ切った時に食べる温かいフードがまたうまい
また行きたいです
