All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We participated as a newlywed couple who are not afraid of heights, but 150 meters was scary! The actual time spent up there was about five minutes, but it felt like enough for us. However, it became a great memory, and on the way back, we happily talked about how scary it was multiple times.

There were five groups on the boat, and everyone except one group chose the 150-meter option. For the optional photo shoot, you need to mention it before flying, so I think it's a good idea to request it just in case. After getting off the boat, we were shown a few photos at the reception and asked if we wanted to buy them. It felt okay to decline at that moment. Everyone who had their photos taken ended up buying them, while the couple who forgot to have theirs taken looked disappointed.

The photo data was on an SD card. Not only was parasailing fun, but the boat ride itself was also very enjoyable. The parasailing takes place quite far from the shore. On the way back, the boat sped up and made turns, which felt really nice. Additionally, when we were getting off, I noticed that others were preparing a $10 tip, so I gave one as well.

高所恐怖症ではない新婚夫婦で参加しましたが、150mは怖かったです！実際に上がっている時間は5分ほどでしたが、もうお腹いっぱいなかんじでした。でも、それが良い思い出で、帰り道何度も「怖かったねー」と楽しく話しました。
５組で船に乗り、1組以外は全員150mを選んでいました。
オプションの写真撮影は、飛ぶ前に言わないと撮ってもらえないので、とりあえず頼んでみるといいと思います。船から降りたあと、受付で写真を数枚見せてもらい、買うか聞かれます。その時に断ってもいい雰囲気でした。撮ってもらった人は皆買っており、撮ってもらうのを忘れたご夫婦は残念そうにしていました。
写真のデータはSDカードでした。
パラセーリング だけでなく、船に乗ること自体とても楽しかったです。パラセーリングは陸から結構離れたところで行います。帰りは船を猛スピードで飛ばし、途中カーブさせたりしてくれて、とても気持ちよかったです。
あと、降りる時に他の方々がチップ10ドルを用意していたので、私も渡しました。

About seven years ago, I participated in Dolphin University and liked it so much that I wanted to join again for this honeymoon, so I signed up. As expected... Dolphin University is the best!! As soon as we boarded, we were told, "There are dolphins!" We hurriedly prepared, and within 10 minutes of boarding, we met the dolphins!! That day, we got to try it twice, and my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, was super excited! Because we met the dolphins so quickly, we had plenty of time for snorkeling, and we were able to swim with a mother and baby sea turtle, which we couldn't see last time. We also got to experience surfing on a board together and played on the slide from the boat... it was a very satisfying half-day tour!! Additionally, there were snacks and juice on the boat, and on the way back, they provided cheeseburgers and juice♡ What I felt again this time, just like last time, is that not only can you swim with the dolphins, but the fun stories from all the staff and their enjoyment are what make the Dolphin University tour so great♡ I'm really glad I participated in Dolphin University!! Thank you so much!!

　7年ほど前にイルカ大学に参加させてもらい大変気に入ったため、今回のハネムーンでも是非参加したいと思い申込みました。やはり…イルカ大学は最高です!!乗船した途端「イルカ先生がいますよ」との事。急いで準備し、乗船10分でイルカに会えました!!その日は合計2度トライさせて頂き、ハワイが初めての旦那様も大興奮でした!イルカに早く会えたことからシュノーケリングの時間もたっぷりあり、前回は会えなかったウミガメの親子とも泳ぐことができました。サーフボードも2人で経験させてもらい、船からの滑り台で遊んで…と大満足の半日ﾂｱｰでした!!また、船の上でスナック菓子とジュース、帰りのバスではチーズバーガーとジュースの用意がありました♡今回改めて感じたことは、前回と同様に、イルカと一緒に泳げるだけでなく、スタッフ皆さんの楽しいお話やとっても楽しんでいる姿がイルカ大学のﾂｱｰの良さなんだということです♡イルカ大学に参加して本当に良かったです!!本当にありがとうございました!!

Breakfast is good and we saw probably 5-8 whales!! Highly recommend during whale season

I was unable to participate on the scheduled day due to a flight delay, which made me anxious, but I received a quick response to my inquiry email and was able to join on the final day! I received one-on-one instruction and was able to stand up even as a beginner, which was a lot of fun! I also purchased photos for $50. It's a wonderful keepsake!

飛行機遅延で予定してた日に参加できず、焦りましたが問い合わせメールに迅速に対応していただき、無事最終日に参加できました！
マンツーマンで教えて頂き初心者でも立てることができ、とても楽しかったです！
50ドルで写真も購入致しました。
とてもいい記念です！

I saw whales. There were mostly large whales with spouts and tails, and I saw a pod of 2 to 3 whales about 4 to 5 times. I couldn't see the baby whales with the naked eye, but it was still a valuable experience.

With lunch included, I felt full both in my stomach and heart.

クジラ見えました。潮吹きと尾びれ大きなクジラばかりでしたが、2～3頭の群れのクジラを4～5回、赤ちゃんクジラは肉眼では見えませんでしたが。とでも貴重な体験をしました。

ランチ付きでお腹も心もいっぱいになりました。

I learned about a pool with a thrilling slide on TV before. I love pool slides, so I made a reservation right away. There were almost only slides, and I was very excited. The staff also taught me how to use the lockers, which was reassuring.
The slides were all unique, unlike anything in Japan, and I couldn't stop laughing.
I want to go again.

以前テレビで絶叫スライダーがあるプールのことを知りました。プールのスライダーが凄く好きなのですぐに予約しました。ほぼ、スライダーしかなくとても興奮しました。ロッカーの使い方もスタッフの方が教えてくれるので安心です。
日本にはなぃようなスライダーばっかりで笑いが止まりませんでした。
また、行きたいです。

Among the many dinner shows, I participated in this one, which is easily accessible from Waikiki! The course starts before sunset, and we begin with the meal. There aren't too many dishes, but it's not a problem. Alcohol is also available at the bar. The view during sunset is simply stunning. After the sun sets, the main show begins. The program is composed of captivating performances that are neither too short nor too long. The final fire dance is breathtaking! It was a program worth participating in.

数あるショーディナーの中から、ワイキキからアクセスも良いこちらのディナーに参加しました！
夕暮れ前からのコースで、最初に食事を頂きます。品数は多くはありませんが、困るほどでは無いです。
バーではアルコールも提供されています。
なんといっても夕暮れ時の景色が素晴らしい。
日が落ちてからショーの本番。
短すぎず長すぎず観るものを魅了するプログラムで構成されてます。
最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻の一言！参加する価値アリのプラグラムでした。

The wind was strong, and after having lunch, my body got cold, so I gave up. The slider was the most fun, sliding on the mat.

風が強くて、お昼食べたら体が冷え
そこで断念しました。
スライダーはマットの上ですべるものがいちばん楽しかったです。

I was looking forward to seeing whales, but in the end, I only saw a little bit of a tail far away towards the end of the cruise. The tour company might consider that a success, but I wonder if that's really enough to say we saw whales... Honestly, I was disappointed.

クジラを見るのを楽しみに行きましたが、結局、クルーズ終盤に遠くに少しだけテールが見えたのみ。催行会社としては、あれでも見れた、となるのでしょうが、あれで見れたとするのばいかがなものかと、、、。正直がっかりでした。

I participated with a friend. At first, we were both scared, but once we actually experienced it, it felt amazing and became the best memory! The staff and the other participants were all great, and we were able to enjoy it together, which made me very satisfied! When we went up high, the view was fantastic, and I felt like I wanted to stay there forever. I had no worries about seasickness at all. Also, since there was a shuttle service, it was very convenient. It was a great tour that made me feel comfortable participating even though it was my first time parasailing!

友人と2人での参加です。最初は2人とも怖がっていたのですが、実際体験してみるととても気持ちが良く、最高の思い出になりました！スタッフさんも同乗の方も良い方ばかりで、一緒に楽しむことが出来ましたし、すごく満足です！！高くまで上がった時は、とても眺めがよく、ずっとこうしていたいと思うほどでした。心配していた船酔いなども一切ありませんでした。また、送迎があるのでとても楽だと思います。パラセーリングが初めてでも安心して参加できた良いツアーでした！

The instructor was a local and made a great effort to speak Japanese, which was very easy to understand. Last year's experience was so much fun, and I had the opportunity to surf again this year in Hawaii, which was just as enjoyable. The land training ended quickly, and the instructor helped me stop the board on the water, which was great for practicing standing up. I even saw a rainbow while riding the waves.

先生は、現地の方ですが頑張って日本語を話してくださりとてもわかりやすかったです。去年の体験がすごく楽しく、今年のハワイでもサーフィンの体験をさせていただきましたがとにかく楽しかったです。陸トレはすぐに終わり、水上で先生がボードをとめてくださり、立つ練習をしたのがとても良かったです。波に乗りながら虹も見えました。

I was able to see colorful fish, sea turtles, and sharks! I was moved to see the beautiful ocean. As I leaned forward and gazed out the window, I was occasionally surprised by small fish darting right in front of the window, which made for a fun experience.

カラフルな魚や、ウミガメ、サメを見ることができました！キレイな海を見ることができて感動でした。身を乗り出して窓の外を見つめていると、たまに小さな魚が窓のすぐ近く（目の前）をちょこちょこと横切って驚かされたり、楽しい体験でした。

【Positive Points】
Everyone in the crew was really nice!
They made an effort to entertain us.
Thank you!!


【Negative Points】
It was way too cold at the beginning of February.
While the cold isn't the crew's fault, it was freezing, and we were served ice-cold juice. Haha.
I wish I had received accurate advice on how to stay warm in advance.


【Did I get to see dolphins?】
This was a bit disappointing!
I couldn't get close enough to swim with them.
It was more like a distance suitable for a cruising tour.
But since they are wild animals and there are laws, it can't be helped. The crew did their best, so I'll definitely try again!


【For those who will participate in the future】
In winter,
you should definitely bring Uniqlo's Ultra Light Down and disposable raincoats if you have them! (A shammy is super useful if you have one.)

Basically, everything gets wet because you put it on over a wet wetsuit. I found the shammy I brought to be incredibly useful! Once the bath towel gets wet, it's useless, so I wiped off as much water as possible with the shammy, then put on the bath towel, wore the 100 yen raincoat to block the wind and moisture, and then put on the Ultra Light Down, which was just right.

Out of 40 people, only 4.5 managed to swim happily without getting seasick until the end.
The rest were all throwing up, and only 4.5 people participated in all three dives.

Those with weak vestibular systems who can't swim will definitely get seasick since they can only float.

I personally have a weak vestibular system, but since I was constantly swimming, I wasn't affected by the swaying, so I managed to get through it.

This is an activity for those who are confident in their physical strength!

【 良かった点】
クルーのみんながいい人ばっかりだった！
楽しませようと努力してくれた。
ありがとう！！


【イマイチだった点】
２月頭には 寒すぎる。
寒いのはクルーのせいではないが、
震えるほど寒いのに、キンキンに冷えたジュースが出てくる。笑
防寒に対しての的確なアドバイスが事前に欲しい。


【イルカに会えたか】
ここがちょっと残念！
一緒に泳ぐほど近くにいけなかった。
クルージングのツアーでも良いくらいの距離。
でも、自然の生き物だし 法律もあるからしょうがない。 クルーもみんな頑張ってくれたからまたリベンジするね！

【これから参加する方へ】
冬であれば
・ユニクロの ウルトラライトダウンと使い捨てのカッパ、あれば絶対持っていくべき！ (セームがあれば超使える)

基本的に濡れたウエットスーツの上に羽織るので全て濡れます。 水泳で使うセームを持っていったらめちゃくちゃ重宝しました！！ バスタオルは濡れたら終わりなのでセームで水気をできるだけ拭き取ってから バスタオルをはおり、100均のカッパをはおり風と水気を遮ってから その上にウルトラライトダウンを着たのでちょうど良かった。


40人中、酔わないで最後まで元気に泳げたのは4.5人。
あとはみんな 吐いてたし、3回のダイブを全部参加したのはたった4.5人でした。

三半規管が弱くて 水泳ができない人は 浮いているしかないので 確実に酔います。

私自身は 三半規管は弱いですが 常に泳いでいたので揺れに左右されなかったのでクリアできました。


体力に自信のある人向けのアクティビティです！

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery during the cruise! I would like to try again next time!

残念ながらクジラを見ることは出来ませんでしたが、景色の良いクルージングをした事は良かったです！次回また、挑戦したいと思っています！

After reading the experiences, most of them mentioned that it wasn't scary, so I chose the 120-meter height. It was quite high, and as someone with a fear of heights, I kept looking far away. If you look far away, it's not scary, but occasionally, when a strong wind blows, the parachute moves differently than expected, which startled me.
The photos cost $30, but since you can't take good pictures with your smartphone, I recommend purchasing them. I split the cost with a friend. You can buy them with a card or cash.

体験談を読んだら、怖くないという体験談が大半だったので、高さ120mを選んだのですが、結構高さがあり、高所恐怖症の私はずっと遠くを見ていました。遠くを見ていれば怖くないのですが、時折強い風が吹くと、パラシュートが想定と違う動きをするので、ドキッとしました。
写真は30ドルしますが、スマホではちゃんと撮れないので、購入をお勧めします。私は友人と割勘しました。カードまたは現金で購入可能です。

It was tough getting up early, but the ship was luxurious and there was an explanation in Japanese, which was great. However, I suffered from severe seasickness. My friend, who didn't get seasick, said they only saw the whale's tail. The staff were very accommodating, and the person in the hall showed us a video of the whale when it appeared on their phone! This time, I chose not to have breakfast, but the food looked delicious, and I was able to add it for $13 per person.

朝早くからで大変でしたが、船が豪華で日本語での説明もあり、よかったです。ただ、船酔いが酷かったです。船酔いしなかった友人はクジラのしっぽだけは見れたと言ってました。スタッフさんの対応が良く、ホールの方のケータイでクジラが現れた時の動画を見せていただきました！今回、朝食なしを選択したのですが、周りの人が食べているのが美味しそうで1人13ドルで追加できました。

We started with a photo shoot, then boarding, followed by a buffet-style meal, and finally, we set sail. Within about an hour and a half, we encountered multiple whales. However, it seems that seeing whales breach is quite rare. Even so, just being able to see their dorsal fins and flippers up close was exciting! If you let your excitement take over and talk to the international guests, it can lead to great cultural exchanges! I did feel a bit seasick, but overall, I was very satisfied.

写真撮影→乗船→食事(ビュッフェスタイル)→出港の順でスタート。1時間半程度で複数回、クジラに出会えました。ただ、クジラが跳ねるような仕草は滅多に見れないそうです。それでも近くで背びれとヒレを見ることができるだけでテンション上がります！テンションに任せて外国の皆様に話しかけると良い異文化交流にも！船酔いしちゃって辛かったですが、それでも満足度高かったです。

We participated with a total of 10 people, from my 70-year-old grandfather to my 4-year-old grandchild. A lucky memory was seeing a sea turtle, while an unfortunate experience was the jungle tour in a downpour.

70歳の祖父からと4歳の孫まで合計10名で参加しました。運良くウミガメが見られたことと運悪くスコールの中でのジャングルツアーは良い思い出です。

Thank you very much! I had a great time! Although I can't speak English at all, there were no issues with the lesson.

ありがとうございました！とっても楽しかったです＼(^-^)／英語は全く話せませんが、レッスンに問題なかったです。

You can easily ride it since it uses a large board. It might be a bit lacking for those who are not beginners. The waves are gentle and it's a place where you can touch the bottom, so you can practice with peace of mind. By the way, it was a one-on-one lesson.

特大ボードを使うので誰でも簡単に乗れます。
初心者以外には物足りないかも。
波も穏やかで足がつく場所なので、安心して練習できます。
因みにマンツーマン講義でした。

Overall, it was cloudy, but it was great that it was sunny during the dolphin watching by boat and at the water play area.

The weather had not been good for about a week, and there was a possibility that we might not see any dolphins, but we were able to see a pod of about 20 dolphins and a sea turtle, which was amazing.
*Some people were feeling nauseous, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication with you or bring some along.

全体的に曇りでしたが、ボートで向かうイルカウォッチング、水上遊び場所では晴れていて良かったです。

1週間程天候が良くなく、イルカを見ることが出来ない可能性があるとのことでしたが、無事に20匹程の群れとウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。
※吐いてる方もいましたので、酔い止めは飲んでくるか、または持って行っても良いと思いました

I couldn't understand Japanese, so I just went with the flow.

When I made the reservation, there was no mention of anything, but one of the instructors was taking photos and tried to sell the data (SD card) for $30, almost forcefully. I paid for it thinking it would be a nice keepsake, but after returning home and checking the data, I found that many of the photos were out of focus. I think $30 is a rip-off for that. I believe it's much better to take selfies with a GoPro, so if you're recommended to buy it, it's better not to.

The parasailing itself was fantastic, as the weather was great. I recommend going to a height of 150 meters.

日本語が通じないので流れに任せて、、という感じでした。
予約時に何も記載がなかったがインストラクターの一人が写真を撮影していてそのデータ(SDカード)を30ドルで半ば強制的に？売りつけてきました。記念にと思い支払いましたが帰国後にデータを確認するもピントボケしているものが多くこれで30ドルはぼったくりかと思います。ゴープロで自撮りしてる方がよっぽどいいかと思うので、もし購入をすすめられたら買わない方がいいです。
パラセーリング自体は天気も良く最高でした。
高さは150mがおススメです。

I had a very precious experience being able to see a baby whale up close. My one-and-a-half-year-old daughter was with me, but she fell asleep during the boat's rocking. After she woke up, she was happy walking around the boat. I was satisfied that we also got to see dolphins at the end, but the boat was rocking a lot... A few people ended up getting sick, and my husband was fighting to hold it together. My daughter and I managed to be okay. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication!

赤ちゃんクジラも近くで観れてとても貴重な経験出来ました。
1歳半の娘も一緒でしたが、船の揺れで途中はお寝んね。
起きてからは船の中で歩いたりご機嫌でした。
最後にいるかも見れたので満足でしたが、
船が揺れて揺れて、、、
何人かリバースしてしまったり、主人もギリギリの戦いをしてました。
私と娘はなんとかセーフ。
酔い止め薬は飲んでおくべきだと思います！

I was overwhelmed with joy to interact with dolphins for the first time! There were Japanese-speaking staff, so I had no trouble at all. However, there weren't many places to spend time at Sea Life Park, which left me with a bit of free time. It was nice that I could watch some shows, though.

初めてイルカと触れ合えて感無量です！日本語のスタッフの方もいるので全く困りませんでした。ただ、シーライフパーク自体あまり時間を潰すところがなく少し暇な時間がありました。ショーなど見れたのでよかったです。

There was no sand beach but the water only came to my knees It was awesome to stand in the ocean even if you can’t swim. No scary wave or under tow to worry about. The crew were efficient alerts for topknot.i would recommend this to everyone I wish I had brought my 7 year old grandson. The cute old guy playing the guitar set the mood and all was well with the world we were in Hawaii We got to see lots sea turtles!! If you swim this will exceed your expectations if was fun watching the kids snorkel and we could tell them from the boat where the turtles were! I was setting next to Japanese prince or something because when I tried to talk to him he ignored me so I told the crew that spoke Japanese to tell him it’s was fun visiting with him he laughed and nodded at me

My husband and I elected for the Appetizer Cruise option on the Fireworks night (Friday). The Majestic was a solid, stable boat with seating and standing / inside and outside options. Additional drinks were reasonably priced and the buffet appetizers were tasty. The evening entertainers (two musicians and a Hula dancer) were terrific.

Given that this cruise is only on Fridays I booked it from home before leaving, which also gave us something to look forward to in advance, thiugh later learned that some folks were able to secure a spot a few days before. For the price, thus is MUST! I will forever remember watching the fireworks from the ocean with the backdrop of Waikiki hotels all aglow....

We were able to see whales several times! So, I am satisfied.

However, on this day, the waves were quite rough, and about half of the passengers on board were vomiting due to seasickness, which was quite a scene. Fortunately, my family all took motion sickness medication before boarding, so we managed to avoid getting sick, but the rocking was enough to make anyone anxious, even with the medication.

While it's understandable since we are dealing with nature, during the two and a half hours of the trip, those who got sick were not able to enjoy the whales at all. It was noted that the Majestic is less prone to rocking, but depending on the weather, it can still be quite bumpy. Therefore, I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication before going.

数回クジラ見えました！ですので満足です。


しかしこの日はかなり揺れが凄く、乗船した方の約半数の方々が船酔いで嘔吐されており大変な様子でした。
幸いにもうちの家族は全員乗船前に酔い止めを服用していた為、酔わずに済みましたが服用していても不安になるほどの揺れでした。

自然が相手ですので仕方ないとはいえ、乗船時間2時間半の間、酔われた方々はクジラどころではない様子でした。
マジェスティック号は揺れにくいと記載されていましたが、天候によってはかなり揺れます。
ですので、しっかりと酔い止めを服用されていくことをお勧めします。

I was a bit worried about getting seasick since we were going out on a boat, but it didn't rock at all, and I was completely fine. The BBQ hamburger was delicious, and we saw a lot of sea turtles, so it was a very satisfying tour. I highly recommend it. However, maybe because it was January, it was really cold out on the water, and I couldn't fully enjoy snorkeling, which was a bit disappointing.

船で沖にでるので、船酔いが若干不安でしたが、全く揺れることなく大丈夫でした。ＢＢＱハンバーガーも美味な上に、ウミガメもめっちゃ見れ、大満足のツアーでした。お勧めします。ただ、1月だからなのか、沖に行くと寒くて、寒くて、シュノーケリングが満喫できなかったのでが残念でした。

Parasailing itself was fun and a valuable experience! However, it was disappointing to encounter issues with the reservation time and transportation. (We might have just been unlucky...)

[What was disappointing] The shuttle did not arrive at the scheduled time, and we were left waiting. In frustration, we called the local desk of the travel agency we were using for assistance, and they informed us that "the operator had made a mistake with the reservation time." The time we had booked and nearby times were not available, resulting in us being rescheduled for a session two hours later, wasting our morning. We might have just been unlucky, but I wanted to leave this information for future travelers.

[What was good] Parasailing was a lot of fun! The staff was very encouraging. I wore a swimsuit and did a water splash, but my upper body didn't get wet. So, I think waterproofing clothing isn't that necessary. (Please make sure to put your phone in a waterproof case when taking pictures!) Your feet will get wet, so you should bring a large towel!

パラセーリング 自体は楽しく、貴重な体験でした！が、予約時間や送迎などのトラブルに巻き込まれてしまった事が残念です。(私たちがたまたま巻き込まれたのかもしれませんが…。)
【残念だったこと】予約した時間になっても送迎の車が来ず、待ちぼうけをくらいました。困って、利用していた旅行会社の現地デスクに電話をして仲介をしてもらったところ「業者側が予約時間を間違えていた」とのこと。私たちが予約をした時間や近い時間はNGで、結果2時間後の回に回されて午前中が無駄になってしまいました。私たちがたまたま巻き込まれただけかもしれませんが、今後利用される方々への情報程度に書き残しておきます。
【よかったこと】パラセーリング はとても楽しかったです！スタッフのお兄さんも盛り上げてくれます。水着を着ていき、水ジャポンをしたのですが、上半身は濡れませんでした。なので衣類で防水対策はそこまで必要ないかと思います。(※携帯で撮影する場合は必ず防水ケースに入れてください！※) 足は濡れるので大きいタオルは持くべきです！

I was glad to encounter more sea turtles than I had imagined. The snorkeling was organized in a way where participants moved along the coral reef in a line, so I was focused on keeping pace with those in front, behind, and beside me, leaving me little room to leisurely enjoy the underwater scenery. It would have been nice to have a bit more space to take my time and enjoy it.

想像以上にたくさんのウミガメに出会えて良かったです。シュノーケリングはツアー参加者が連なる形で珊瑚礁に沿って進むスタイルだったので、前後左右の参加者のペースに合わせる事に精一杯でゆっくりと海中の景色を楽しむ余裕がありませんでした。もう少し間隔を空けてゆっくり楽しめたら良かったです。
