All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We were the only Japanese guests, but the crew was fluent in Japanese, which was very helpful. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and others were jumping in and swimming. It became a lifelong memory.

日本人の客は、私たち夫婦だけでしてが、クルーの方が日本語も堪能で、助かりました。
海の上は、最高に美しく、他の方で海に飛び込んで泳いだりしていました。
一生の思い出になりました。

When you arrive at the meeting place, you'll be taken by caravan to the departure location. A high-energy man came to greet us.
On the bus, I met others who would be participating in parasailing and we chatted. Since we had participated in the Honolulu Marathon, we had a common topic to bond over.
Upon arrival, we checked in, and a young man guided us to the boat that would take us to the parasailing spot.
There are no changing rooms, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit under your clothes.
You will be instructed on how to put on the harness. Then, you'll take turns parasailing. Even if you can't speak English, you can understand through gestures. All dangerous items are removed. You can bring a GoPro.
If you want to take your phone, I recommend putting it in a waterproof case and hanging it around your neck.

I felt nervous before flying, but since you ascend slowly, it's not scary. The harness provides stability, so I wasn't anxious even at 150 meters above the ground.
At the end, the young man driving the boat adjusts it so that you can dip your feet in the sea (photo included).
Also, if you become friendly with others parasailing, you can take turns taking pictures of each other. We entrusted our phones and cameras to each other and took great photos.

Finally, the young man who drove the boat asks for a tip. It feels awkward not to pay, so I recommend bringing some change.

At the end, they will drive you back to the front of the hotel.

集合場所に行くと、キャラバンに乗せられて出航場所で行きます。ハイテンションなおじさんが迎えに来てくれました
バスの中で一緒にパラセーリングに参加する人達と出会い、お話などもしました。私達はホノルルマラソンに参加していた事もあって、共通話題で盛り上がりました‍♀️
到着すると受付をし、若いお兄さんの誘導でボートに乗ってパラセーリングをする場所まで連れて行ってくれます
着替え場所はないので、服の下に水着を着ておくと良いと思います。
ベルトの装着を指導に従ってつけて行きます。そして、順番にパラセーリングします。英語が話せなくてもジェスチャーでわかります。危険なものは全て退けます。ゴープロは持って行くことが出来ました
携帯を持って行きたい方は、防水ケースに入れて、首からさげておけるようにしておくことをお勧めします。

飛ぶ前はドキドキしましたが、ゆっくり上昇していくので怖くはありません。ベルトで安定感があるので上空150メートルも不安はありませんでした
最後に足を海につけられるように、ボートを運転するお兄さんが調整してくれます。（写真あり）
また、一緒にパラセーリングをする方と仲良くなっておくと、写真の取り合いっこができます。
それぞれに携帯を預けたり、カメラを預けたりなどして、良い写真を撮り合いしました

最後にボートの運転をしたお兄さんにチップをお願いされます。払わないのも気まずいので、小銭を持って行くことをお勧めします。

最後にまたホテル前まで車で送ってくれます。

We gathered at Aloha Tower in the morning. The shuttle costs $14, so we took THE BUS, which was fine. A whale seemed to appear for a moment, but we couldn't see it due to the boat's location. Still, we enjoyed the beautiful views of Diamond Head and the hotels. It was a bit disappointing, though...

朝からアロハタワー集合です。送迎は１４ドルかかりますのでTHE BUSで行きましたが問題なく行けますよ。一瞬クジラは現われたようですが、船の場所の関係で見れませんでした。それでも、ダイヤモンドヘッドやホテルの美しい景色は楽しめました。残念でしたが・・・

We participated with a friend to relieve the fatigue from the Honolulu Marathon. We had a great time taking videos and photos, and interacting with others who participated in the marathon. The ship was luxuriously designed for its size (it’s not that big, so it can sway easily). The night view of Honolulu from the sea was beautiful.

I had low expectations for the food and was prepared for the possibility of seasickness, which is why I thought, "It was as I expected." I believe it's important to read various experiences carefully and think about them, which I will elaborate on later.

Above all, newlyweds should be particularly cautious, as seasickness and the night view can be greatly affected by the weather. The day we boarded was cloudy, and the ship swayed more than I anticipated (it was unsteady enough to make walking difficult). We enjoyed ourselves without getting seasick, but I saw newlyweds who were both feeling unwell, and one was down while the other was supporting them. Depending on the weather, it could turn into a terrible tour, and it was sad to see.

Regarding the food, it was "quite disappointing." I can't say it was delicious. The cake was "just sweet" (buffet style). We chose the second-highest lobster course, but it felt more like "Instagram-worthy." I think it would be wiser to have a slightly fancy dinner at a hotel for the price we paid. I recommend going without expecting much from the food. We were satisfied to eat lobster, which we rarely have the chance to enjoy, but... expectations should be kept low.

Upon boarding, a welcome drink was provided, but the deep blue cocktail had a very disappointing taste. I regretted not choosing the pink juice.

The dress code was relatively casual. We went in dresses suitable for going out, enjoying a bit of style, but a cardigan is essential (in December). It gets a bit chilly with the night breeze.

The number of participants was quite large, possibly due to the timing of the Honolulu Marathon, which was a bit disappointing as it didn’t create a relaxed atmosphere.

私達はホノルルマラソンの疲れを癒すために友達と2人で参加しました 私達は動画や写真を撮影したり、ホノルルマラソンに同じように参加した人との交流など楽しい時間となりました。船の中は大きさの割に豪華な作りになっていました（そこまで大きな船ではありません。つまり、揺れやすいです。）
海から見るホノルルの夜景も綺麗でした
「思っていた通りだった」というのは、食事を期待しなかったことと、船酔いしてしまう可能性を覚悟していたからでした。後ほど詳しく書きますが様々な体験談をしっかり読んで考えるべきだと思います。

なによりも、新婚旅行の人は特に注意が必要です船酔いも夜景も天気に大きく左右されるからです。私達が乗船した日は曇りで思った以上に船が揺れました。（歩くのはフラフラするくらい）私達は酔わずに楽しめましたが、新婚旅行で来られていた方々が2人ともダウンしていたり、片方がダウンして寄り添っていたりと天気次第では最悪なツアーになる可能性があります。見ていても可哀想な状態でした

また、食事に関しては「かなりイマイチ」です。美味しいとは言えません。特にケーキは「甘いだけ」でした。（バイキング）私たちは上から2番目のロブスターのコースにしたのですが、「写真映えする」と言った感じですこの金額を払うのならば、ホテルで少し豪華なディナーを食べる方が賢いと私は思います。
行く方は食事は期待しないで行くことをお勧めします。私達は滅多に食べる機会のないロブスターを食べられて満足でしたが、、、期待はしてはいけません。
乗船するとウェルカムドリンクが用意されていますが、濃いブルーのカクテルはとてもイマイチな味ですピンクのジュースを選べば良かったと後悔しました。

服装は割と自由でした。私達はお出かけ用のワンピースでオシャレを少し楽しむ感覚で行きました羽織るカーディガンなどは欠かせません。（12月）夜風を浴びるので少し寒いです。

参加人数はホノルルマラソンの時期だったからかとても多く、ゆったりとした雰囲気ではなかったのは少し残念でした。

I participated on December 30th. It was a clear day, perfect for a cruise.
Be careful, as the shuttle bus was too cold.
The ship was larger than expected, which got me excited.
We spotted whales about eight times!!!
The other guests were also thrilled, and we were able to finish the cruise in a wonderful atmosphere.

12月30日に参加しました。快晴でクルーズ日和でした。
お迎えのバスが寒すぎるので注意が必要です。
船は想定より大きく、テンションあがりました。
クジラは8回くらい姿を現してくれました！！！
他のお客さんも大興奮で素晴らしい雰囲気の中クルーズを
終えることが出来ました。

I was able to experience the sliders and other attractions. I recommend going in the morning when it's not too crowded. Once you go, you'll be satisfied.

スライダーやその他のアトラクションをひと通り体験できた。それほど混まない午前中がオススメ。一度行けば満足。

The harbor is also close to Ala Moana, and it's only about a 5-minute boat ride to the point, making it very efficient to enjoy. Seeing Waikiki from the sea is worth it by itself.

港もアラモアナと近く、ポイントまでもボートで5分程と近く大変効率的に楽しめした。海から見るワイキキはそれだけでも価値があります。

I had a lot of fun on a boat like the one in the movie Moana, which was also fast. This time, I participated with my family, but there were no other Japanese people besides us. The guide only spoke English. It was a very satisfying tour.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication in advance.

映画モアナに出てる様な船で、スピードもあって凄く楽しめました。
今回、家族での参加でしたが自分達以外に日本人がいなかったです。
ガイドも英語のみです。すごく満足出来るツアーです。

船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲む事をお勧めします。

I experienced severe seasickness, but it was fun. I would like to request the shuttle service to be a bit more punctual. Overall, the staff at the parasailing company were friendly, and I had a great time.

船酔いが激しかった。でもたのしかったです。
送迎だけもう少し時間ジャストにお願いしたいです。全体的にはパラセーリングの会社方達も気さくな方が多く楽しく過ごせました。

This was just a terrific day from start to finish. We were picked up on time, and everything was exactly as advertised. We saw turtles, swam with the dolphins, and saw approximately 8 whales too! It was the first time snorkeling for both my husband and myself and the staff was terrific. Emmanuel picked us up and took care of us for the whole day. Our captain was terrific, making sure that we saw all those whales and had plenty of time for snorkeling with the dolphins and then over a wonderful coral reef. Photographer Justin was also terrific - making sure to get great pictures of everyone who wanted them. HIghly recommend this tour and company! Friendly AND professional!

We wouldn't have been able to see the turtles on our own, so swimming alongside the turtles and schools of fish was a precious experience, and we were very satisfied with the snorkeling. Additionally, the photos taken in the ocean were beautiful, and I was moved again when I returned home! It was truly a wonderful bonus to have memories of the ocean in Hawaii captured in such a way. Thank you very much!

自分たちだけではカメに会うこともできなかったですし、カメや魚の大群と一緒に泳ぐなんて貴重な体験をできて、大満足のシュノーケリングでした。
また、海で撮って頂いた写真が綺麗で、帰ってまた改めて感動しました！ハワイでの海の思い出が形に残るなんて、本当に嬉しい特典でした。
ありがとうございました！

Food, service, entertainment, timing, and organization were all outstanding!! Loved our first luau!

The English guide was great, no problems at all. I had a lot of fun. I will use this service again. They were flexible with the return bus and dropped me off in front of the shop.

英語ガイドさんですが、全く問題ないです。
楽しく楽しめました。
また、利用させていただきます。
帰りのバスも融通をきかせてもらい、ショップの前で下してもらいました。

I participated in the "Dolphin Encounter" with my 4-year-old child. We had three types of interactions: kissing the dolphin mouth-to-mouth, the dolphin kissing our cheeks, and shaking hands with the dolphin. We were also able to stroke the dolphin's body and feed it directly from our hands.

Before participating in this attraction, I was concerned that my child might be scared of the dolphins, so we experienced a dolphin touch attraction at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise first. However, in this program, we entered the same pool as the dolphins, which brought us incredibly close to them and allowed for frequent interactions, making it incomparable to similar attractions in Japan.

I observed other programs where participants could swim while holding onto the dolphins or be pushed by them to swim at incredible speeds, and even do things similar to a dolphin show. I definitely want my child to experience this again when they are older.

We participated in the program from 1:00 PM, and by 2:00 PM we had finished changing and were supposed to explore the park until the bus departure time at 5:00 PM. However, all the park's programs ended by 4:00 PM, and by around 4:30 PM, we were asked to leave the park, so we had to wait outside for about 30 minutes with nothing to do until the bus arrived, which was disappointing.

子供（４歳）と「ドルフィン・エンカウンター」に参加しました。
イルカの口と口でキス、イルカがほっぺにキス、イルカと握手の３パターンの触れ合いができ、イルカの体を撫でたり餌を直接口に入れたりすることもできました。
このアトラクションに参加するにあたり、子供がイルカを怖がるかと思い、横浜八景島シーパラダイスでイルカにタッチできるアトラクションを体験させてから参加しましたが、ここのプログラムでは、イルカと同じプールに入って行うため、イルカとの距離がものすごく近く、触れ合える頻度も多いので、日本国内の同類のアトラクションとは比べ物になりません。
他のもっとイルカと遊べるプログラムを見学しましたが、イルカにつかまって泳いだりイルカに押してもらって、ものすごいスピードで泳いだり、イルカショーのようなことまでできるので、子供が大きくなったらぜひまた体験させたいと思いました。
１３：００～のプログラムに参加したのですが、１４：００には着替えも終わりバスの出発時間の１７：００まで園内を散策して時間を待つことになっていましたが、園の各プログラムの時間が１６：００までで終了してしまい、１６：３０頃には、園外に出されてしまったので、バスが来るまでの３０分ぐらいは何も無い園外でバスを待たなければならなかったことが残念でした。

It would have been amazing to see the sea turtles up close. It was a bit chilly, which was unfortunate. But it was incredibly beautiful and wonderful. The guide was also very engaging, and I had a great time. Thank you!

ウミガメがもっと近くで見れたら最高でした。
肌寒かったのが残念。
でもめちゃ綺麗で素敵でした。
ガイドさんも盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

I wanted to participate in the garden tour, but I was told to switch to another tour due to being over capacity, with no explanation as to why we had to change. It felt like they assumed Japanese people wouldn't complain, and it seemed like they were relying on Japanese individuals who had signed up for private tours. If the price is the same, I think it would be better to book this tour through a major travel company.

The lunch buffet had about seven types of desserts, but four of them were empty. The drinks were also empty. Since we had to eat within a limited time, it might be a good idea to bring a little something to eat yourself.

Overall, I felt that there are many beautiful places to see in Hawaii, and it didn't seem worth it to pay this much money to participate in this tour.

ガーデンツアーに参加したかったが、人数オーバーのため、他のツアーにしてくれと言われたが、なぜ私たちが他のツアーにしなければならないのか、全く説明はなし。日本人は何も文句を言わないと思っているのか、個人ツアーで申し込みをした日本人に頼んでいるように思えたので、同じ値段なら、大手の旅行会社を通してこのツアーに申し込みをした方がいいと思う。
ランチビュッフェは、デザートを含め、７種類ほどあったが、４種類は空。飲み物も空。限られた時間で昼食をとらなければならず、自分で食べるものを少し持って行った方がいいかも。
全体の感想としては、ハワイにはきれいな景色を見れるところがたくさんあるし、これだけのお金を払ってこのツアーに参加する価値はないように思えた。

The scenery was beautiful, and it wasn't as shaky or scary as I thought it would be! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii! The instructor? The guy was handsome!

景色も綺麗だし、思っていたよりも揺れず怖くなかったです！
またハワイに来たらやりたい！
インストラクター？のお兄さんがイケメンでした！

The pickup time will be delayed as it goes around various locations, but the round trip was easy and enjoyable. It was a bit chilly, so a rush is necessary. Once you enter, securing a spot is essential. The deck chairs at the central wave pool are highly sought after. If you can't find one, the round tables in front of the concession stand with chairs are close to the restrooms and changing areas, and they are in the shade, which I recommend.

The instructions for using the lockers for valuables were unclear, and the machine screen was hard to see in the sunlight, so I asked the staff at the concession stand for help. Once you receive a receipt with a 4-digit designated number printed on it, you're all set, and you can access it multiple times. Some attractions were closed, and there were long stops due to inspections or other reasons. Be careful to allow enough time to avoid being late for the bus back. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, but the bag check at the entrance is quite lenient. It's a place where both children and adults can have fun. I definitely want to go again.

ピックアップ時間は各地を回るので遅れますが行き帰り楽で楽しめました。肌寒くラッシュ必要です。入場したら場所取り必須。中央波プールのデッキチェアが争奪戦。なければ売店前丸テーブルに椅子がトイレや着替え、ロッカーにも近いし日陰でおススメ。

貴重品を預けるロッカーの使い方は分かりづらく、機械画面が日光で見えないので売店のお姉さんにヘルプ頼みました。指定番号4桁が印字されたレシートが出たら完了で、何度も出し入れ可能です。
アトラクションは中止あり、途中点検？などで長蛇のストップもあり。時間に余裕みてバス帰り時間に遅れないよう要注意。飲食持ち込み不可ですが、入場カバンチェックはゆる〜い感じです。子供から大人まで楽しめる場所です。是非また行きたい。

I experienced parasailing 20 years ago, but perhaps due to my age, fear took over this time...

I took motion sickness medication to prevent seasickness, changed into my swimsuit, and got into the pickup car. However, upon arrival, it was canceled due to strong winds. They smoothly rescheduled for the next day. After that, I also received an email from Veltra, and their quick response was appreciated.

My children had their first experience, enjoying simple English with the fun driver and getting excited about the speed of the boat. We had a great time.

Although the weather affected our plans, I was glad we could experience it safely.

I was worried about falling into the sea, but it was just shallow enough to stand. If I had communicated my concerns about falling in beforehand, it would have been fine. However, there wasn't much thrill.

I also requested photo shooting, and they captured a family photo on one SD card. There were some unique pictures, and I was glad I asked for it. In total, there were about 80 photos.

My 9-year-old child participated, and they were taught kindly, quickly getting the hang of riding the waves. They even took us further out based on their progress, and my child was very satisfied. We will definitely go again next time.

They provide marine shoes, but it's better to bring your own. It might also be good to have a rash guard. I think it's best to be prepared to change quickly.

9歳の子供が参加しましたが優しく教えてくれてあっという間に波に乗れました。上達具合で沖にも連れて行ってくれて本人も大満足です。また、次回乗りに行きます。
マリンシューズは貸してくれますが、持参したほうが良いです。ラッシュもあったほうが良いかも。すぐ着替えられるようにして行ったほうが良いと思います。

As shown in the photo, there was no emergence of the sandy beach from the sea, and the water reached up to my knees. Also, it was cloudy and windy that day, and I couldn't help but wonder why it was so cold in Hawaii. While snorkeling may be the main focus, I would like to see tours that are centered around the sandy beach as well.

写真にあるように海から砂浜が浮き出てくるようなことはなく、膝上程度まで海水に浸かりました。又当日は曇りで風もありハワイなのにこんなに寒いのはなぜ、といいような感じでした。シュノーケルがメインなのかもしれませんが、砂浜メインのツアーも企画して欲しいと思います。

Parasailing was so much fun! I forgot my smartphone on the shuttle bus, but when I called the tour contact, they quickly checked and brought it to the original meeting point. I really appreciated it. Thank you!

パラセーリングとても楽しかったです！
送迎バスにスマホを忘れたんですが、ツアーの連絡先に電話をすると直ぐに、確認してくださって、最初の待ち合わせ場所に持って来てくれて、助かりました。ありがとうございました！

The four-wheeler was a bit scary, but it was thrilling. I was able to experience quite a sensation. It was moving!

４輪バギーは、ちょっぴり怖かったけど、スリルがありました。中々の感覚を味わう事が出来ました。感動的です❗

The pickup took a long time and was tiring. The park itself was enjoyable with no wait times, but the only clock was broken, so I was anxious about not knowing the time.

ピックアップからの時間が長くて疲れました。パーク自体は待ち時間もなく楽しめましたが唯一の時計が壊れていて時間がわからなかったので焦りました。

Departure before sunrise to West Oahu. The scenery was different from Waikiki and had its own charm! I was able to see the dolphins swimming directly below me on the second try! Unfortunately, I used a 2mm wetsuit for warmth, but it was still cold.

西オアフまで、日の出前の出発。初めて見る景色もWaikikiとは違った風情！イルカには、２回目のトライで真下に泳ぐ姿が見られました！残念だったのは、寒さ対策で、2mmのタッパーを使いましたが、寒かったです。

I made a reservation on December 27, 2017, but it was changed to the next day due to bad weather. The change was smooth. On the 28th, the weather improved, and I was able to see many whales. My mother, who needs assistance walking, did not go up to the deck, but we were able to see plenty of whales from inside the boat. For lunch, it was a do-it-yourself burger sandwich, which was nice. There were also fruits and cookies available. The guitar player on board was exceptionally talented. Personally, I thought he resembled Kuwaman from Rats & Star (laughs). Compared to the Star of Honolulu, this is a smaller boat, giving it a homey feel, and the captain's gentlemanly demeanor was wonderful. I am very satisfied.

２０１７，１２，２７で申し込みしましたが、悪天候のため翌日に変更。変更もスムースでした。２８日はお天気も回復した、たくさんクジラが見れました。歩行に補助が必要な母はデッキにあがることはありませんでしたが、船内でも十分クジラをみることができました。ランチはいわゆるバーガーサンドを自分ですきな具合でつくるって感じですね。フルーツやクッキーなどもありました。なんといっても船内にいたギター演奏者のうまさといったら格別でした。個人的感想ですが、元ラッツアンドスターのくわまんに似ていました（笑）スターオブホノルル号にくらべて小さな船ですので、アットホームな感じで船長さんの紳士ぶりも素敵。大変満足です。

Best service, show and this young woman was my server the first time I went n I was so surprised when I show her the picture that I took the first time that she remember me and my OHANA . my experience overall was fantastic and that's why I decided to do it again...MAHALO for this beautiful and wonderful experience...

I tried on January 2nd in the morning and January 3rd in the afternoon, but I couldn't see anything at all; it was just a cruise. It would have been nice if they could have taken us to spots where we could see dolphins or turtles when we couldn't see whales, but there was nothing at all.

It was tough as a parent to see my 7-year-old's disappointment. I think it would be good to have announcements about the likelihood of sightings and explanations of the spots, but they spoke optimistically, saying that it’s unpredictable, which was very disappointing.

1/2午前、1/3午後にトライしましたが、全く見れずに、ただのクルージングでした。クジラが見れないときは、イルカや亀など見れるスポットに連れていってくれるとかあれば良いのですが、全くなく。
GPSで探してるわけでもなく、7歳の子のガッカリを見ることになり、大変、親として辛かったです。
見える可能性の公表や、スポットの説明などがあると良いと思いますが、予測できないんだよ〜〜と楽観的に話されてて、とても、残念でした。

Even if the dolphins are that far away, being told "You saw the dolphins, right?" is a bit confusing.
The light lunch and other dances were as expected.
It would be nice if there were a place for women to change besides the restroom on the way back.

イルカがあれほど遠くても「イルカ見えたでしょ、みえたでしょ」と言われても？？
軽食ランチ、他ダンスは想像通りだった
帰り女性が着替える場所がトイレ以外にあれば
