All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly and talked to us! Even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine! Haha. It was my first time parasailing, and the view was absolutely amazing! I have a fear of heights, but I was having so much fun that it didn't bother me at all!

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、みなさん気さくで話しかけてくれました！英語が喋れなくてもなんとかなります！笑 初のパラセイルでしたが、景色は最高過ぎました！高所恐怖症でしたが、そんなことよりも楽し過ぎて気になりませんでした！

I was really helped out.
First, the power of the slide!!! For a moment, I thought my mind went blank, and then the high-speed spin exploded. It reminded me of my childhood. There are still so many more!
I thought the food at places like this wouldn't be good, but the cheeseburger was surprisingly high quality! With thick meat and refreshing tomatoes, it was unbeatable with a beer...
I really enjoyed the pool to the point where I wondered if it was really February!

ほんまにたすかりました。
まずスライダーの威力！！！一瞬頭が真っ白になったかと思うと今度は高速スピンが炸裂しました。我ながら子供のころをおもいだしました。他にもまだまだたくさん！
どーせこーゆとこの食べ物なんて美味しくないだろうと思ってましたが、チーズハンバーガーだけわクオリティ高めでした！分厚いお肉にさっぱりトマト、ビールと一緒にこれわたまんないね…
本当に2月か！？と思えるくらいプールで楽しめました。

The weather was mild, and there were no waves, making it a perfect day. About 20 minutes after departure, we spotted a whale and spent the rest of the time following it. The whale seemed relaxed, and we could see it spouting water every 10 to 15 minutes as it breathed. I'm glad we got to see the whale.

気候がおだやか、かつ、波もない、おそらく絶好の日でした。
出港後20分くらいでクラジを1尾発見し、その1尾をずっと追いかける形でした。そのクジラはリラックスしているようで呼吸する度(10ー15分)に潮吹きなどしているのが見えました。クジラが見れてよかったです。

We were very happy with our experience day.The whole trip was fab,from the food to seeing the whales,such majestic creatures.Would highly recommend anyone to do this trip.Youll love it

Since it was January, the pool was very cold, but I was able to interact closely with the dolphins while shivering, and I think it became a great memory.

1月だったのでプールがとても冷たかったようでブルブルしながらもイルカを間近で触れ合うことができ、いい思い出になったと思います。

Before putting on the equipment, I had to take off my clothes that I didn't want to get wet, but I forgot to take them off and it was a bit chaotic. However, I had a great time floating in the sky! It was amazing!!

器具をつけられる前に濡れたくない洋服は脱がなければならなかったのに、脱ぎ忘れててんやわんやしましたが楽しく空を浮遊できました！
最高でした！！

First of all, the tour company did nothing wrong. On the contrary, I found their smooth operation and progress to be quite favorable.

Perhaps my expectations for whale watching were too high or my imagination ran wild. During the approximately one-and-a-half-hour cruise, we only saw a distant spout once and a dolphin jump once. While we did see something, I had imagined seeing a large tail up close or multiple whales swimming, so I felt a bit disappointed.

However, this is something that depends on luck. Overall, the tour itself received a high rating.

まずツアー会社は何も悪くありません。
むしろスムーズな運営、進行をされており好感が持てました。

ホエールウォッチングに対しての理想というか想像が膨らみすぎていたのかもしれません。
約1時間半のクルーズで、見えたのが遠くでの潮吹き1回とイルカのジャンプ1回でした。
見れたといえば見れたのですが、もっとこう間近で大きな尻尾が見えたり何頭ものクジラが泳ぐ様子を想像していただけに少し残念な気持ちでした。

ただこればっかりは時の運もあるのでしょう。
ツアー自体の評価は高かったです。

The weather forecast in Hawaii is not reliable!! The rain forecast turned out to be "clear skies," and there were no waves, making the boat ride comfortable. We saw the humpback whales' spouts and tails many times, and each time, the passengers erupted in applause. The boat was large and stable. I appreciate the crew for their excellent hospitality. I made a web reservation with Veltra on-site, and their quick response was a great help. I was able to board safely.

ハワイの天気予報は、あてになりませんね！！　雨の予報が「快晴」、しかも波はなく船も快適でした。
何度も、ザトウクジラの汐吹と尾びれの姿が見られそのたびに乗船客の拍手がやみませんでした。
船は大きく安定していました。
クルーの方々、最高のもてなしに感謝します。
ベルトラさん、現地でWEB予約しましたが素早い対応で助かりました。無事に乗船できました。

I was able to see a pod of dolphins in addition to the whales! It was amazing to see Diamond Head as well! I would love to go again if I have the chance.

くじらに加えイルカの群れも見れました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドも見れて最高でした！また機会あれば行きたいですね。

I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and whales for the first time! I was so excited to swim with my partner! However, unfortunately, it was quite windy, and after getting out of the sea, I was so cold that I couldn't stop shivering. The boat was also rocking quite a bit, and since we went into the water about three times, you'll need several bath towels! The motion sickness medication didn't help much, but it seems better to take it for the placebo effect! If I get the chance again, I think I would like to go.

初の野生のイルカ、ホエールを見れて感激！
一緒に泳ぐのにパートナーと大興奮でした！
しかしあいにくの風で海から出た後は寒すぎて震えが止まらない。船も大分揺れるし、
3回ほど海に入るので、バスタオル何枚かは必要！
酔い止めもあまり効かないけど、プラセボ的にも飲んだほうがよさそう！
また機会があれば、行こうかな、と思います。

I participated with my two grandmothers and my 5-year-old son! The trainer spoke a little Japanese (>_<), but we enjoyed touching the dolphins! We kissed and shook hands... and took some photos to finish (^_^;) I wish we could have interacted more with the dolphins or seen a show (°▽°), but I was satisfied!

婆ちゃん2人を連れて（見学者）5歳の息子と2人で参加しました！
日本語少し(>_<)のトレーナーでしたが、イルカに触り和みました！
キスをして握手をして...写真を撮って終了(^_^;)
もう少しイルカと触れ合うか、ショーでも見せて欲しかったかな(°▽°)
でも満足でした！

It was the first parasailing experience for my parents in their 50s and 60s. Both of them had great smiles. I regret not being able to give the tip smoothly. I wanted to express my gratitude, so it's a good idea to research the customary amount and prepare it in advance, rather than rushing at the moment.

50・60代の両親にとって、初めてのパラセーリングでした。2人ともいい笑顔が見れました。チップをスマートに渡せなかったのが悔やまれます。
感謝の気持ちを伝えたくて、渡したくなるので、その時慌てるより予め相場を調べて用意しておくと良いですよ。

This was one of my highlights. This is a well-planned thriller for anyone that wishes to get a great view of the waterfront. Safety is paramount, putting everyone at ease. The pleasant banter is great and the staff members are experts in their field. I enjoyed the entire time and got some great shots of the boat and the view. Anyone wanting some adventure without travelling far from the beach - this is a great package!

We didn't see any whales at first, and while we were enjoying the scenery, saying to my child, "Looks like there are no whales," we encountered a group of about three whales!

We got to see a whale jump right at the beginning! We also saw plenty of spouts and tails! My child was so excited, and I really felt it was worth participating!

We discovered them about 15 minutes before returning to port, so we ended up coming back quite late, but we were very satisfied!

くじらが全然現れず、船内で振替チケットのアナウンスがあり、全然くじらおらんなぁ～、と子どもと言いながら諦めて景色を楽しんでいた途中にくじらの群れ３つくらいに遭遇しました！

初っ端にくじらのジャンプを見られました☆
潮吹きも、しっぽもいっぱい見られました☆
子どもが大興奮で、参加して本当に良かったなーと思いました！

帰港する１５分くらい前に発見したので、帰港するのはだいぶ遅くなりましたが、大満足でした！

We flew as a family of three. My son, who just turned five, could only experience this here. It was about a five-minute walk from our accommodation at Hilton Grand Vacations, so the kids were fine without getting cranky. The weather wasn't great, so it was a bit chilly... I thought he might be scared of the activity, but he was super excited (laughs). On the way back, he managed to splash just his feet in the sea :-) I brought a waterproof camera, so I took pictures of the scenery from the sky myself instead of asking someone else to do it. The people who participated with us had someone take their pictures, and they got some quite humorous shots, so I thought I might ask for photos when my younger son is old enough to join.

親子３人で飛びました。
５歳になったばかりの息子が体験できるのはここくらいでした。
宿泊しているヒルトングランドバケーションから徒歩で５分くらいのところだったので、子どももグズることなくよかったです。
天気はあまりよくなかったので、少し肌寒かったです・・・
アクティビティ自体は怖がるかなーと思っていたのですが、大興奮でした（笑）
戻るときにうまい具合に足だけ海ポチャしてくれました:-)
防水カメラを持参していたので、撮影は頼まず自分で空からの風景を撮りました。
一緒に参加した方たちは撮影を頼んでいて、なかなかユーモアのある写真を撮ってもらっていたので、次男が参加できる年齢になったときには撮影をお願いしようかなぁ、と思いました。

After reading the reviews, we decided to participate because it met our travel conditions:
- Activities suitable for three people
- Enjoyable for elementary school children and older adults.

The staff seemed to speak a little Japanese, so there were no communication issues. Everyone on the same boat was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie.

On the boat, cheerful music played as we headed out to sea. Each group took turns jumping.

It mentioned to wear swimsuits in advance, but I didn’t have one, so I participated in clothes that could get wet. That was not a problem at all.

During the parasailing, we enjoyed the view of the horizon, Diamond Head, and airplanes from the ocean, with a refreshing breeze making it the best experience! After we got off the boat, we were lucky enough to see a whale swimming at just the right moment! Before the parasailing ended, they let us dip our feet in the water. They adjusted based on the people, and while we only dipped once, a couple went in twice, and a group of male college students got splashed several times, which was entertaining for us to watch.

While we were flying, the staff took many photos. We received the data on an SD card for $30. Considering that in Japanese theme parks, one photo costs 2000 to 3000 yen, this was a bargain!

It was a valuable experience!

口コミをみて、
・３人でもできること
・小学校低学年や年配の人でも楽しめること
という私たちの旅行条件に叶っていたので、参加しました。

スタッフさんは、日本語も少し話せるみたいで、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。
同じ船に乗った人たちは、みんな日本人だったので、なんとなく連帯感も。笑

船の上では、陽気な音楽が流れ、沖までいきます。各グループごとに順番に飛びました。

水着を事前に着用してくださいと書いてましたが、私は水着を持ってなく、濡れてもいい格好で参加しました。それでも問題なかったです。

パラセイリング中は、沖から眺める水平線、ダイヤモンドヘッド、飛行機、など景色が楽しめて、爽やかな風が気持ちよく最高の体験でした！
そして私たちは、船に降りてからでしたが、タイミングよくクジラが泳いでるのが見れました！
パラセイリングが終わる前に、海に足が浸かるようにしてくれます。人をみて加減してくれてて、私たちは、一回浸かっただけでしたが、カップルは二回、男子大学生？のグループは、身体まで何回かポチャンしてもらってて、見てる私たちも楽しませてもらいました。
飛んでる間、スタッフさんが写真を沢山撮ってくれます。
S Dカードでデータをもらい、30ドルです。日本のテーマパークで、１枚写真を買うのに、2000〜3000円することを思うと、安い！

貴重な体験ができました！

Given I love history and being of pacific island descent I thoroughly enjoyed this. Tours were well versed and the halls had levels of knowledge and artefacts that were quite fascinating. The Kings Room also had an air of the Kings being in the room with you. Great for kids too as the science center very educational but enjoyable.

Whilst it was beautiful and scenic. It felt very touristy and quite overrated given the price. In hindsight booking the AV prob would have been better. We did the movie tour and secret island with beach activities.

Unfortunately, since it was with animals, I knew I couldn't expect a 100% success rate, but I was disappointed not to encounter any. I persevered on the deck despite the strong winds and rain. However, I was able to enjoy the endless horizon and the beautiful rainbow, as well as the sense of freedom on the deck. If I had more time in my schedule, I would have liked to try again since I received a re-boarding ticket.

いかんせん、動物相手ですから100%の確率は望めないのはわかっていましたが、遭遇成らずガッカリ。
強風や雨にも負けず、デッキで粘ったのですが。
ただ、どこまでも続く水平線と綺麗な虹、デッキでの開放感は満喫できました。
日程に余裕があれば、最乗船チケットをもらったので再チャレンジしたかったです。

Three women participated. Luckily, we were able to see two sea turtles, which was very exciting! Wearing wetsuits was definitely the right choice as it protected us from the cold and the coral. In fact, one of us was a beginner who couldn't swim and was experiencing the ocean for the first time. She was really scared when it came to putting her face in the water, getting water in her ears, and not being able to breathe through her nose. At one point, she even cramped up and we worried she might have to give up. However, thanks to the kind support of our instructor Chieko, she managed to complete the one-hour snorkeling session. We are very grateful for all the help. She was really happy to have had a great experience. So, even those who can't swim can participate with peace of mind, and there's no doubt that you'll feel glad you joined!

女3人で参加。ラッキーな事に2匹のホヌに会うことができてとっても興奮しましたウェットスーツ着用により、寒さやサンゴから身を守ることができたのでお借りして正解でした(^^)/ 実は今回、泳げない＆海水浴初体験者がひとりいて、本人は顔をつけることや耳に水が入ること、鼻から呼吸ができないことから、浸水時にとっても怖がり、また、途中、足がつったり…と一時はリタイヤか⁈と心配しましが、インストラクターChiekoさんの親切なサポートにより、初体験の彼女も何とか1時間のシュノーケリング を終えることができました。大変お世話になりありがとうございました。本人も、良い体験が出来たことをとても喜んでおりました。ですので、泳げない方も安心して参加できますし、参加して良かった！と思えること間違いなしです。

I had previously taken a cruise on Kauai, but at that time, I could only see a glimpse of the whales in the distance. Compared to that, I was satisfied to see some spouting and a bit of the tail up close this time. However, my companion, who was on their first cruise, seemed disappointed because they expected to see the whales jumping high enough to see their upper bodies.

以前、カウアイ島でクルーズを利用したことがあったのですが、その際は遠くのほうに少し見えただけでした。それに比べると、船の近くで潮吹きや尾びれが少し見えたので、満足しましたが、同行の初めてクルーズを利用した人はクジラが上半身見えるくらいジャンプするところを見えると思ったらしく、残念がっていました。

About seven years ago, I participated in a sandbar tour. It was in September. I joined with my kindergarten son, and it became a wonderful memory...

This time, during my year-end and New Year trip, I went to Hawaii for the first time in seven years and participated in the sandbar tour again, but at this time of year, it was rainy, windy, and too cold in the water! For snorkeling, it was so cold that my kindergarten daughter couldn't even get in the water.

The adults were doing their best to get in, but if the weather could be predicted better, it might have been a more enjoyable tour! The staff were very kind, talking to everyone and sharing various stories, which made the tour time enjoyable, but it was still too cold for me.

7年ほど前にサンドバーツアーに参加した事があります。しかし時期は9月でした。幼稚園の息子と参加して、良い思い出になりました…
で、今回年末年始の旅行で7年ぶりにHawaiiに行き、良い思い出のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、この時期、雨、風、海の中、寒すぎ！シュノーケリングなんて、寒くて海に入る事自体、幼稚園の娘なんて無理でした。
大人の方達は、頑張って入ってましたけど、天候をよく予測出来れば、楽しいツアーになるのかもしれませんね！
スタッフの方達は、すごく優しく、みんなに声をかけて色々お話もしていただき、ツアーの時間を楽しませていただきましたが、ヤッパリ私には寒かったです。

Epic is the word that comes to mind. We had the best time. It was more than we had anticipated. We have lived here for 11 years and this was our first time sailing with the Star Of Honolulu. The 5 Star dinner cruise with Live Jazz made our 14th anniversary that much more special. From the warm reception, meeting and greeting the Captain, the Ono pupu’s to the amazing 7 course meal and top notched entertainment we felt like royalty. You can’t beat the amazing sunset and whale sightings either. If you are looking to celebrate or just relax and take in the sights the Star Of Honolulu is definitely the thing to do.
We had a great and memorable time from start to finish. Mahalo Star Of Honolulu .

It was my first experience snorkeling, but thanks to the guide, I was able to swim happily, and it became the best memory!

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、ガイドの方のおかげで楽しく泳ぐことができ、最高の思い出になりました！

My husband and I had a spectacular time on this 5 star dinner cruise. We've lived here for 11 years and this was our first time experiencing the elegance and absolute superb 5 star dinning experience the Star of Honolulu offers. From start to finish everything was spectacular. We were treated like VIP's. We were greeted and warmly escorted to the boat where we partook of some extremely delectable pupu's while being serenaded by a Polynesian dancer and ukulele player. We were also introduced to the Captain of the ship and was afforded a photo op with him. As the evening progressed the boat set sail and the 7 course meal did not disappoint. We ate until our belly's were super tight. Did I mention the majestic sunset we watched from our window seats? Simply amazing! We also enjoyed the top shelf drinks that were apart of the menu. But not to worry if you are not an alcohol drinker there are many non-alcohol drinks to choose from.
This dinner cruise truly exceeded our expectations and we would wholeheartedly recommend the 5 star experience especially for that very special occasion. Its the perfect way to celebrate. It's kid friendly too. Mahalo Star of Honolulu for a very memorable anniversary! #14yrs

When paying for the locker rental, please note that JCB cards cannot be used. There weren't many people, so I was able to experience all the attractions and enjoyed going on my favorites two or three times. Staff do not provide any instructions on how to ride the attractions, so I recommend checking the bulletin board properly before getting on. There are many thrilling drop attractions, so it's full of excitement! However, you need to have the stamina to carry a float up the stairs. It's a bit pricey, but it includes transportation, and I thought I would like to go again next time. Sunscreen is a must! I brought a beach towel from the hotel, so I didn't have any particular issues.

ロッカー代の支払時、JCBカードは使えないので注意が必要です。人が多いことはなく全てのアトラクションを体験でき、気に入ったものは2、3回行けたので楽しめました。アトラクションの乗り方の説明などはスタッフから一切指示されないので、アトラクション前に掲示板でちゃんと確認してからを乗ることをオススメします。 急降下のアトラクションがたくさんあるので、スリル満点！！でも、浮き輪を持って階段を登っていかないといけないので体力も必要。少し高いですが送迎付きですし、次回も行きたと思いました。 日焼け止めは必須！！タオルもホテルのビーチタオルを持って行ったので特に困ることはなかったです。

This cruise was a nice boat ride. All employees were friendly, welcoming and pleasant. The shuttle ride to the boat was on time and information shared by employees was clear. The buffet dinner was average. It seemed to take a while for serving dishes to be refilled and there was a shortage of utensils. The cruising of the boat was lovely, ample time to observe the sunset, fireworks. The major negative would be only two restrooms available for everyone. The live music was well done and very enjoyable.

Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!

I thought it would be all thrill rides, but my second daughter, who isn't good with scary things, enjoyed riding the three and four-person slides multiple times. My eldest daughter loves thrills, so she enjoyed everything. I thought it would be nice to have a pool with slides that aren't available in Japan while in Hawaii. Since it was January, which is winter in Hawaii, it seemed like the locals weren't coming to play, and the wait time for the round four-person slide was about 3 to 6 minutes. The slides that can accommodate two or three people had no wait, so we kept riding them. If you want to ride a lot, I recommend going during this time. A rash guard is good to have when it's a bit chilly.

Also, the driver for the shuttle was polite, which made me feel at ease. The Japanese woman who explained things after we arrived at W&W was kind and nice!

The bodyboarding lesson was taught in English, but it didn't feel like a proper lesson; it was more like, "When the wave comes, ride from around this line!" and I ended up not being able to ride. I think I can skip the BBQ lunch next time. It was different from what I expected. It might be better to buy a lunch box inside the facility and eat while playing. Overall, I'm glad I went!!

-絶叫系ばかりかと思いましたが、怖いのが苦手な次女も３人乗り・4人乗りのスライダーを何回も乗りとっても楽しんでました。長女はスリルがあるのが好きなのでどれも楽しんでました。
日本にはないスライダーでハワイでプールもいいなと思いました。
1月だったので、ハワイは冬という事もあり現地の方も遊びに来ていない様でスライダーの待ち時間は丸い4人乗りが3分～6分位だったかなと。
3人～2乗りも出来るスライダーは待ちなしでどんどん乗りました。
とにかく乗りたい方はこの時期おすすめです。
ラッシュガードがあると肌寒い時にはいいです。
-あと、送迎のドライバーの方が丁寧で安心しました。
W&Wについてから説明して下さる日本人の女性が優しくて良かったです！
-ボディボード・レッスンは英語で教えてくれますが、教えてくれている感じではなく「波が来たらこのラインのあたりから乗って！」くらいの説明で乗れずに終わりました。
次回はBBQランチはしなくていいかなと。思っていたBBQとは違いました。
施設内でランチBOXを買って食べ遊んだ方がいいかな。
総合的に、行ってよかったです！！

The thrill of watching the fireworks from the sea on Friday was amazing!

However, the time spent anchored on the water was quite long and felt stretched out. I also think the Star of Honolulu cruise ship is better.

金曜日の花火を海上から見る醍醐味はありました！

しかしながら、海上に停泊する時間が長くて間延びしてしまいますね(^_^;)
あとクルーズ船についてはスターオブホノルルの方が良いと思います。
