Staff is great! Food is good and grilled on the boat. Bring water with you.
The pilot was great, his knowledge of the sites and explanations was entertaining and informative, the music choices were good and the flight was not scary (for those of us who were a bit nervous); instead is was like a magic carpet ride.
I would definitely recommend this trip to friends!AS
Thanks, Cid, for a great review. I like that, a Magic Carpet Ride. 'Always wanted one of those.
I chose the 150m option since I was there. It was a tandem flight with my elementary school son, and the view from above was amazing. The staff were experienced and had everything ready in no time. With that momentum, we said, "Let's go! Bye-bye!" and soared into the sky. We even had a splash at the end!
I highly recommend this active experience.
せっかくなので150ｍをチョイス。
小学生の息子とのタンデムフライトでしたが、上空からの眺めはサイコーです。
スタッフも手慣れたもので、あっという間に準備完了。
その勢いで、レッツゴー！ ばいばーい！ って感じで大空へ。
最後にドボンのおまけつき＾＾
おすすめのアクティブですよ。

We wanted to save time but not transfer hotels so we booked a day trip to Kona from Oahu. It was an excellent overall experience. We were picked up on time but I'm not sure why it was so early because we waited a couple hours before the flight. Unfortunately, after boarding we had to board another plane due to mechanical problems. This made us too late to keep the 9 am helicopter appointment. We were able to rebook for 3:30 but this meant that we missed the last part of the land tour. The lunch was nice and we didn't mind missing the hike into the back country. Our driver was okay but a little irritable. The helicopter tour was exciting and gave us an entirely different perspective of the island. Once back at the airport we had to wait more than 2 hours for the flight. Not sure why these day trips are set up this way. It makes for a longer day than should be necessary.
We participated as a pair, and since it was written that if we wrote a review of over 200 characters after the experience during the campaign period, one person would be free, we decided immediately!!
The bus arrived quite late compared to the meeting time, but it was good that we reached the destination early! When driving on the highway, it suddenly appears in an area that looks like a construction site (laughs). When we arrived, there was a guide who provided Japanese explanations on the bus, which was reassuring◎
Although it was a holiday, it was relatively empty compared to large pool facilities in Japan, so we were able to enjoy all the attractions!! The slide where you slide down on a mat was particularly thrilling and fun, and it felt like something that wouldn't be made in Japan because it seems dangerous! I think those who are not good with roller coasters should be prepared (laughs).
We chose a plan that included drinks, but the available drinks were mainly carbonated, along with some that were like syrup for shaved ice. Honestly, since bringing bottled water was allowed, it might have been fine not to have the drink plan.
In any case, it was a lot of fun, so I would like to participate in the tour again when I go to Hawaii!
2人で参加させていただいたのですが、キャンペーン期間で体験後に200文字以上のレビューをしたら1人分無料と書いてあったので、即決めました！！
バスは集合時間よりかなり遅くつきましたが目的地には早くついたので良かったです！高速道路走ってると造成地みたいなところに急に現れます（笑）
着いたら、バスで日本語案内してくれるガイドの方がいらっしゃったので安心しました◎
祝日だったのですが、日本の大きなプール施設に比べるとかなり空いている方で全部のアトラクションを楽しむことが出来ました！！
特にマットで滑る滑り台がかなり迫力があって楽しかったのと、日本じゃ危なくてこんなの作らないだろうなーという感じでした！絶叫マシーンが苦手な人は覚悟した方がいいと思います笑
今回ドリンク付きのプランにしたのですが、選べる飲み物は主に炭酸系で、後はかき氷のシロップみたいな飲み物とかでした。ペットボトルの水は持ち込みOKだったので、ドリンク付きじゃなくても良かったのかなっていうのが正直なところです。
なんにせよ、とっても楽しかったのでハワイに行ったらまたツアーに参加させていただきたいと思いました！

It was the best parasailing debut, blessed with great weather! Both the captain and the crew were very lively, which made it really exciting! I felt no fear at all and had a lot of fun flying in the sky! In the end, I was dropped into the sea at Big Japon, and it felt amazing! The bus driver, Yano, during the transfer was very cheerful, making the trip enjoyable both ways!
天候にも恵まれた、最高のパラセイリングデビューでした！

We participated as a family of three with a middle school child. There were clear signs on the main street, so we arrived at the location without getting lost. Although there were no staff members who understood Japanese, the reception staff explained everything diligently, so we were able to check in without any issues. The three instructors were incredibly high-energy, and I appreciated their efforts to communicate even though I didn't understand Japanese at all. The pathways between the zip lines were wooden decks, so our shoes didn't get muddy. The weather and scenery were both fantastic.
中学生の子供との３人家族で参加しました。メインの通りに分かり易い看板が出ていたので迷うことなく現地に到着できました。日本語のわかるスタッフは不在でしたが受付から一生懸命説明してもらったので難無くチェックイン出来ました。インストラクター３名の方達がとにかくハイテンションで日本語全然分からないなりにコミュニケーション取ろうとしてる気の使いが嬉しかったです。ジップライン間の通路はウッドデッキ等でしたので靴もドロドロになりませんでした。天気も景色も最高でした。

I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!
Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!
It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!
Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.
You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!
とっても楽しかったです！
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます！
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます！5匹は見れました！群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです！
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です！
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした！
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ！

It was amazing to see a whale first, then a dolphin, and next a sea turtle! It would have been even better if I could have gone diving in that beautiful ocean! I thought I would like to dive if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii next time.

There were a lot of fish while snorkeling, but I was a bit disappointed that there were few colorful ones. We went as a family of three, and my daughter, who is not fond of the ocean, stayed close to me, allowing us parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were also able to see sea turtles underwater and seals floating on the surface nearby. The sailing after snorkeling, with the splashes of waves, was surprisingly thrilling and fun.
シュノーケリングで魚は沢山いたのですが、色の付いた魚が少なかったのが、少しガッカリでした。家族3人で行ったのですが、海が苦手な娘にずっと付き添ってもらえて、親は安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。海中のウミガメ、海に浮かぶアザラシも近くで見えました。シュノーケリング後の波飛沫を上げて進むセーリングが思いの外、迫力があり楽しかったです。

We experienced parasailing in Hawaii as a couple on our honeymoon. Now that our son is 8 years old, we thought he could join us, so the three of us enjoyed parasailing together.
The captain and crew were great, speaking to our son in easy-to-understand English, and he seemed to have a lot of fun. They provided explanations in simple Japanese, so you can fly without any worries.
After flying, we had the classic experience of landing with just our lower bodies in the water! If you attach an action camera like a GoPro to your body while flying, you'll get some amazing footage.
新婚旅行のときに夫婦でハワイパラセイリングを体験しました。
息子も8歳になり、もう飛べるだろうということで、家族3人でパラセイリングを楽しんできました。

飛んだあとはお約束の下半身だけ着水！

At first, I considered going on my own, but I found this plan and decided to go with the shuttle service. Climbing the stairs for the water slide consumed more energy than I expected, so choosing the shuttle plan was the right decision!
For the coin lockers, you can't choose your preferred location; instead, you first use the machine to make a payment and set a PIN, which then reveals the locker number you can use. Also, the display on the machine is quite hard to read, making it difficult to operate. Since there were many Japanese participants on the tour, it was easy to ask questions with Japanese staff nearby.
Thanks to the off-season, there were no wait times for the attractions, and I had a great time. However, it was a bit disappointing that the lazy river was only open for two hours. Personally, I recommend the Tornado. You never know where you're going, so it keeps you on edge until you stop.
I think it's important to be cautious about injuries from friction on exposed skin areas like your ankles, knees, and elbows while wearing a swimsuit on all attractions. Especially for the Island Racer, I recommend being mindful to keep your feet and arms as much as possible inside the bodyboard. You might be too scared to think about it, but it would be a shame to get injured and not be able to enter the pool...
The park opened at 10:30, and we gathered at 15:00, which made me worried about having enough time, but I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.
最初は自力で行くことも考えましたが、こちらのプランを見つけたので送迎プランにしました。ウォータースライダーでの階段の上りは、思った以上に体力を消耗していたので、送迎プランで正解でした！
コインロッカーは自分の好きな位置を選ぶのではなく、最初に機械を使って支払いと暗証番号を決めることで始めて使えるロッカー番号がわかります。また、機械の表示がとても見にくいので操作しづらいです。ツアーで参加した日本人が多いからか、日本人スタッフが近くにいたので質問しやすいです。
アトラクションはシーズンオフのおかげで待ち時間もなく、楽しめました。ただ、流れるプールが2時間限定の解放で少し残念でした。個人的にオススメはトルネードです。どこに行くかわからないので止まるまでドキドキし続けます。
すべてのアトラクションで、くるぶしや膝、肘など水着で肌が出ている箇所が摩擦によってケガをしないように注意したほうが良いと思います。特にアイランドレーサーは出来るだけボディボードから足や腕が出ないように意識することをオススメします。怖くてそれどころではないかもしれませんが、怪我をしてしまうとプールに入れないのは残念なので…。
10時半開園の15時集合でしたが、時間が足りないかと不安でしたが、充分楽しむことが出来ました。

Upon arrival, it started to rain, and we were supposed to go on the second of the two boats. However, the boat broke down, and we were told we would go once the first boat returned. As the rain intensified, the trip was postponed, and our morning hopes were dashed. It ended up being in the early afternoon, and the voucher we provided did not return. I wrote down the details on paper and confirmed with a translation app that I would wait early at the meeting point two days later. Fifteen minutes before the scheduled time, they came to pick me up, and when we arrived at the boat dock, it was raining again and cold, but we completed the parasailing as planned. I think it would be reassuring if the staff could speak Japanese.
現地到着して、雨が降って来たところ二隻あるボートの内2番目に行く事になったがボートが故障して一番目に行ったボートが戻ったら行くとの事だったが、雨が強くなり、延期としたが、午前中の希望は通らず、午後イチになり、今日渡したバーチャーは戻らず、自分で紙に書いて翻訳アプリで確認して２日後に待ち合わせ場所で早めに待ってると、１５分前に迎えに来てボート乗り場に着いたらまたまた雨で、寒かったけど目的のパラセーリングは完了。スタッフさんが日本語話せれば安心出来ると思う

Swimming with dolphins was amazing.
I recommend taking measures to stay warm on the return boat, as my wet body got cold.
I was advised to buy the photo data from the tour company, but I'm not sure about it. Most of the photos didn't have me in them, and they weren't great for memories.

The experience was amazing and the staff were really helpful and great.
Before participating, I was worried about whether I would be able to see whales, but once I saw them, I was able to see them multiple times with some intervals in between, totaling about eight times. I was able to see the whale's tail, body, head, and spouting. I really feel like I was lucky. The whales came close to the boat, so while I was chatting with my kids and family inside the boat over fruits and coffee, someone would shout, "Ah!" and at that signal, we could rush to the window and see the whales up close. I took photos and videos with my smartphone, but the excitement of seeing the whales with my own eyes was truly exceptional.
参加前はクジラ、見られるかな？と心配していましたが、一度見られると間隔を空けて何度も見られ、合計8回程、クジラの尾っぽや体、頭や潮吹きを見られました。本当に運が良かったと思います。クジラから船に近づいて来てくれたので、船内でフルーツやコーヒーを頂きながら子供達や家族と談笑していても、「あーっ‼︎」と誰かが大きな声を出してくれて、その声を合図に窓側へ駆け寄れば間近でクジラを見ることが出来ました。スマホやビデオで写真や動画をとれましたが、やはり肉眼でクジラを見た感動は格別です。

This is a great activity for all ages! The crew are very friendly and accommodating and the excursion is very well organized. We saw several large turtles and one juvenile turtle! The best thing about this excursion is not only do you have the chance to snorkel with lots of turtles, but the crew takes you out for a sail where you can enjoy cocktails onboard. Really great way to end the perfect tour!
Recommendation: if you are strong swimmer, you should consider renting fins to dive down and get a closer look at the turtles!
Beautiful Catamaran the Holokai takes you just out from Waikiki beach out into Turtle Canyon, so many turtles as soon as we got in the water I was absolutely amazed! Excellent, helpful, fun staff. Drinks & snacks on board to purchase very reasonable in price. Excellent Snorkel equipment provided. Will do it all again next time I’m in Waikiki for sure!!!
On the morning of the day I had a reservation, I received a message from the staff at VELTRA saying, "The waves are too high today, and the tour cannot proceed..." They explained the refund and rescheduling process, and I was able to reschedule for the next day. Their response was very professional, and I had no worries at all. I was a bit anxious the next day, but since I didn’t receive a call, I thought everything was fine and headed to the pickup location. However, it turned out to be the day of an annual parade, and the roads were heavily congested. After waiting for the bus for an hour... (I wondered if this could have been anticipated since it happens every year, but all the other tours and buses heading to the airport were also delayed, so I thought it might just be something you have to accept in Hawaii with a big heart, haha). It seemed that the street where we were supposed to be picked up was particularly congested, so the bus stopped on a larger road, and two staff members (one of whom was Japanese) ran to greet us. A large, beautiful bus came to pick us up. Once on the bus, they began with an apology for the delay, introduced the staff, and explained the schedule and important notes in English followed by Japanese. There was also information about purchasing a USB for photos and videos taken on the trip, as well as renting wetsuits. Those who purchased the photo/video package on the way to the destination received a wristband as a gift (one for each participant) and a $5 discount. It seems that if you stay close to the photographer, you might get more photos taken. Upon arriving at the harbor, we used the restroom and borrowed fins and goggles. (We also tried on the wetsuits we rented on the bus here.) Once we found the right size, we boarded the boat. After boarding, we set off to look for dolphins, and during that time, there was another explanation, and we sang a Hawaiian song to show respect for the ocean and its creatures while offering flowers. The cheerful Hawaiian staff jumped into the sea as soon as we reached the dolphin spot and swam to the location of the dolphins. Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles or whales, but we did meet dolphins, which was an emotional experience that allowed us to feel connected to nature. After that, we moved to another location where we had free time to enjoy snorkeling and kayaking. On the way back to the harbor, we enjoyed taro cheese burgers, bite-sized pineapple, and a small bag of chips each. The staff also performed hula dancing, and everyone participated in dancing together. It was a fun time throughout, and my whole family was very satisfied. Since we purchased the USB, we went to pick it up at an office near DFS in Waikiki that evening, and the Japanese man at the office was very friendly and approachable. You can also receive an eco-bag at this office. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. If you have children, I think the 11 AM departure plan would be better to avoid putting too much strain on them. Even if you usually don’t get motion sickness, I think it’s wise to take motion sickness medication as a precaution.
予約をしていた日の朝、ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんのスタッフの方から「本日は波が高く催行不可能となりました…」と連絡があり、返金・振り替えなどの説明があり、翌日へ振り替えてもらいました。もちろんきちんとした対応で、何の心配もありませんでした。次の日も心配でしたが、電話が来なかったので大丈夫なんだなと思いピックアップ場所へ。しかしその日は年に一度のパレードの日だったらしく道路は大渋滞。バスを待つこと1時間…。（毎年の事なので事前に予測できないのかな？とは思いましたが、他のツアーも、空港へ向かう予約のバスもどれもこれも全てが遅れていたのでハワイでは仕方がないのかな？と思う大きな心が必要です（笑））我が家のピックアップ場所の通りが特に渋滞していたようなので大きい道路にバスを停めスタッフの方が2人（1人は日本人）で走って迎えに来てくれました。大きい素敵なバスがお迎えに来てくれていました。バスに乗るとまず、遅れたお詫びから始まりスタッフの紹介、今日のスケジュールや注意事項などを英語に続き日本語で説明してくれます。バスの中で写真や動画を収めたＵＳＢの購入、ウエットスーツのレンタルなどについても説明があります。行きのバスで写真・動画のセットを購入した人はリストバンドのプレゼント（参加人数分）、5㌦の割引がありました。カメラマンの方の近くにいると多めに撮ってもらえるような気がします。ハーバーに着くと、トイレを済ませフィン・ゴーグルを借ります。（バスの中でレンタルしたウエットスーツもここで試着してみます）サイズを合わせて、ＯＫであれば船に乗り込みます。乗船後、イルカを探しに行きますがその間、再度説明があり、海や生き物に敬意を表すためのハワイの歌を歌って花を捧げます。陽気なハワイアンのスタッフ、イルカのポイントに着いたらすぐに海へ飛び込みイルカの場所まで泳いでいきます。残念ながらかめ、くじらには会えませんでしたが、イルカに出会え自然を感じられ感動でした。そのあとは別の場所へ移動し、シュノーケリングやカヤックなどで遊ぶ自由時間があります。ハーバーまで帰港する際にタロイモのチーズバーガー、パイナップル1口サイズを1つ小袋のチップスを一人一袋食べながら帰っていきます。スタッフがフラダンスも踊ってくれ、参加者皆で踊ったりもします。終始楽しい時間で家族みんな大満足です。我が家はUSBを購入したので、その日の夕方ワイキキのDFS近くにあるオフィスへ取りに行きオフィスにいた日本人の男性もとても気さくで感じのいいかたでした。エコバックはこのオフィスでもらえます。次回ハワイへ行った際には是非また参加したいです。お子さんがいらっしゃる場合は、11時出航プランにした方が子供の負担にならないと思います。普段酔わなくても酔い止めは予防として飲むべきだと思います。

Staff are nice. Lunch was simple but tasty. When we went there, sandbar was not very low tide and we had rain. So most people stayed at the boat as it was too cold being in the water. Snorkel was nice. It was nice that the staff are watching us for safety when we were in the water. We had to wait for return shuttle for 30 min as there was some misunderstanding between the transportation company and the tour company. While waiting for our shuttle, We saw puffer fish at the marina where boat launch/stay. It was nice surprise.
It was a slightly chilly day and there was a downpour, but there were many different water slides, and I had a lot of fun. I would definitely like to go again if I have the chance!

Great experience overall. It was amazing to see all of those beautiful fish swimming in and out of the reef. I would absolutely recommend this experience to friends.
This was our second trip aboard Atlantis and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. It is always nice to be able to do something you can't experience at home and living a thousand miles from any ocean submarines are fairly scarce where we live. I always enjoy seeing critters like sharks and sea turtles but any colorful sea life is enjpoyable. On the personal side we were treated with care and respect and at no time did we feel unsafe. Overall a great adventure. Thankyou very much.
I challenged myself to 150 meters. At first, I was nervous and a little scared, but I was relieved to find that it was surprisingly slow going. The view is amazing! It feels great. Since I did it near Ala Moana, I could see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When we returned to the boat, the kids were thrilled as they splashed in the seawater and then went back up into the air. The instructor was handsome and funny, and the driver was entertaining as well!
150mに挑戦しました。最初はドキドキして少し怖かったのですが、意外とゆっくり登っていくので安心しました。景色が最高です！気持ちいいです。アラモアナ付近でやったので、ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドが見えました。ボートに戻るときに海水にボッチャンしてから、また上空に登っていったりするので子供たちは大喜びしていました。

I visited at the end of the year. It was easy to get around since there was a bus from the hotel with a shuttle service.
The park isn't very large, but it's a treasure trove of water slides. You can enjoy thrilling slides that you can't experience in Japan without waiting in long lines.
The pool water was quite cold, which surprised me at first. However, the kids seemed to get used to it quickly.
One downside was that I had to wait quite a while to order lunch. There were various menu options, but I was told that only set menus were available when I tried to order. The bus pickup was at 3:15 PM, so I wanted to play a bit longer, but lunch took quite a bit of time. However, since outside food isn't allowed (they check bags at the entrance), we had no choice but to eat there.
I think if you buy lunch early or adjust your timing, you can enjoy your time there more effectively.
年末に行きました。送迎付きでホテルからバスが出たので移動が楽チンでした。
園内はそんなに広いわけではありませんが、ウォータースライダーの宝庫です。日本では味わうことのできないスリル満点のスライダーを、そんなに並ばずに楽しむことができます。
プールの水がかなり冷たいので、最初はびっくりしました。が、子供たちはすぐに慣れたようでした。
ちょっと残念だったのが、お昼を注文するのにかなり並んだことです。そして色々なメニューがあったのですが、注文するときにセットメニューしか扱ってないと言われました。バスのお迎えが15：15だったので、もう少し遊びたかったのですがお昼に結構時間がかかってしまいました。ただ、持ち込みができないため(入園時にカバンチェックがあります。)、そこで食べるしかないのですが。
お昼は早めに買うなど、時間をずらすと上手に遊べると思います。

On December 26th, there was an unusually heavy rain in Hawaii. The parasailing scheduled for the next day was unfortunately canceled because the boat couldn't operate due to the rain. What bad luck... I couldn't believe it (>o<). The only option to cancel was just the day before my return, and after some hesitation, I decided to go for it the day before leaving.
My friend and I shouted "What a great decision!" as we soared into the sky. We ascended to a height of 150 meters, where we could see the city of Waikiki from the ocean, with the beautiful blue sky and the evening sun. It felt like we were birds. The aerial stroll lasted about five minutes, but it was incredibly refreshing, and I felt amazing! When we landed, the customary splash of our feet was delightful. I want to try it again!
ハワイではあまり経験したことがないくらいの大雨の12/26。翌日のパラセーリングがなんと船が雨のために動かなくなり、中止に。なんとアンラッキー…。こんなことがあるのか(>o<)と。キャンセルにするか、できるのはギリギリ帰国の前日しかなく、迷った末、帰国の前日にやることにしました。
友人と二人で、正解！と空で叫びました。150メートルの高さまで上り、ワイキキの街が海から一望でき、青い空と夕刻の太陽がとてもステキでした。まるで鳥になった気分。約五分くらいの上空散歩でしたが、とても爽快で、気分は最高！降りるときには恒例の足ぽちゃも、気持ちよかったです。また、トライしたいです。

I participated in my first overseas trip with my family, along with my 7-year-old daughter (first grader) and myself (45 years old). My wife (43 years old) and my 3-year-old daughter stayed behind to explore.
We rented a car in Waikiki to head to our destination, but we got lost along the way. When I called for help, a Japanese female staff member came to pick us up since she was nearby, which was a huge relief.
My daughter was looking forward to doing some activities in Hawaii, so we decided to try the Adventure Tower. Before we started, I was a bit worried about whether my 7-year-old daughter would be able to do it, but I went first to show her how it’s done. I was surprised to see her bravely crossing the suspended platforms. The instructors and staff encouraged her with "good job!" while my wife, who was watching, kept saying, "That's scary, impossible, impossible. You did it—amazing!"
We also tried the "Free Fall," where you jump from the top of the tower at a height of 15 meters, and the "Giant Swing," which swings like a pendulum when you jump from just below the top (imagine being suspended by a single rope and swinging like a swing). We spent about 90 minutes doing these activities, and it flew by.
Although my daughter couldn't reach the top of the climbing wall, she was very satisfied with the fun and sense of accomplishment afterward. I personally think it's something I can absolutely recommend to those who haven't tried it yet. Even a 45-year-old dad and his 7-year-old daughter could do it, and there were instructors present, so safety was not an issue at all.
I would love to do this again when we visit next time. I want to try the zip line as well!
家族で行く初めての海外旅行で小学１年生の長女（７歳）と私（４５歳）の２名で参加しました。妻（４３歳）と次女（３歳）はその間見学。
ワイキキからレンタカーを借り目的地へ向かっていましたが、途中道に迷ってしまい困って電話したところ近くだった事から女性日本人スタッフが車で迎えに来てくれ非常に助かりました。
今回はハワイに行ったらアスレチックをやりたいと長女が楽しみにしていたのでアドベンチャー・タワーをやりました。
始める前までは７歳の娘に果たして出来るのか若干不安でしたが、大人の私が先に行き見本を示し、娘が後からやり、ロープで吊るされた板の足場を勇敢に渡って来る姿に逆にビックリで、インストラクターの方やスタッフの方も「good job!」と勇気づけてくれる中、見学していた妻だけが「怖い、無理、無理。出来た～すごい。」と一人盛り上がってました。
他に、タワーの頂上高さ１５メートルのところから飛び降りる「フリーフォール」、頂上の一段下（？）あたりから飛び降りたら振り子のように揺られる（ロープ1本で吊られてブランコの様に動くイメージ）「ジャイアントスウィング」、タワーの壁に取り付けられたホールドを使って頂上まで登る「クライミングウオール」（ボルダリング）で約９０分間あっと言う間でした。
娘は最後のクライミングウオールこそ頂上まで登れませんでしたが、終わった後は楽しさと達成感で大満足していました。
まだやったことのない方にも私個人的には絶対おすすめできると思います。
４５歳のオヤジと7歳の娘でも出来たし、インストラクターも付いていて安全面も全く問題ありません。
また旅行に来た際は行きたいと思います。今度はジップラインも挑戦したいですね。
