All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I did 120m.
At the beginning, they asked, "Is it okay to do a Japon?" (laughs)
It's the one where you fall into the water when you come back.
I was trying to take pictures of the scenery at the start, so I unexpectedly did a Japon too! (laughs)
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the view was great and it was amazing! ☆
The driver understood a little Japanese, but everyone was friendly and it was fun!
I took about 70 photos for $30. They ask you at the beginning, so it's definitely better to buy them!
I gave a $10 tip each to the two guys on the boat and the driver.

120mやりました。
初めにジャポーンok？と聞かれます！笑
戻ってくる時に水に落ちるヤツですね。
飛び始めに景色を撮ろうと携帯を触ってたせいか、不意のジャポンもされました！！笑
初めてなので不安だったけど、景色も良く見えて最高でした☆
車のドライバーさんが日本語少し分かるくらいでしたがみんな気さくで楽しかったです！
写真は70枚程で30$。初めに聞かれるので絶対に買ったほうが良いです！
チップは、ボートでの彼ら2名、車のドライバーさんに10$づつ渡しました。

A fun couple of hours snorkelling. Its expensive but enjoyable and memorable

The parasailing itself was great, but out of 10 participants (5 pairs), 3 people were throwing up on the boat after flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating!

パラセイリング自体はとても良かったですが、参加者10人(5組)中、3人は飛んだ後に船で吐きまくりだったので、酔い止めを飲んで参加することをお勧めします！

The authentic hula is truly wonderful. The powerful fire dance, delicious food, and I really felt that I had come to Hawaii.
The couple sitting next to us, Mr. and Mrs. J from Montana, were very friendly. We chatted using a mobile translator, laughed, and had a really enjoyable luxurious time.

やっぱり本場のフラは素敵です。迫力のファイヤーダンス、美味しい食事、と、ああハワイに来たんだな、と実感しました。
お隣に座った、モンタナから来られたJさんご夫婦はとてもフレンドリーな方でした。携帯の翻訳でおしゃべりをして、笑って、本当に楽しい豪華な時間を過ごさせていただきました。

we were fortunate to see 2 species of dolphins, a humpback whale and sea turtles! The 3 women who were on board- the photographer, the captain, and our tour guide were all super friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking to see Koran of fish in the water and sea life, this is not the tour but if you are looking to see some mammals and hop in the Ayer from time to time then this is it!

Loved it! We saw turtles, dolphins, tons of fish and the wide open sea!

We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!

朝イチからイルカのペイントがされた大きなバスでお迎えにきていただきテンションがあがります♪車内もテンションの高いスタッフさんが面白くわかりやすく説明してくださりあっという間に乗船場所へ着きました。乗船すると運良くすぐにイルカに出会うことができ、バッチリ野生のイルカを見ることができました！！少し海が濁っていたのが残念ですが、その後も皆さんシュノーケルをしたりSUPをしたりと思い思いの時間を過ごすことができました。私わ体調が悪くなり船の上で休んでいましたが、その時もスタッフさんが優しく声をかけてくれてとても感謝しています。その後ハンバーガーやお菓子、フラダンス等内容盛りだくさんでとてもいい思い出ができました(●´ω`●)ハネムーンの皆さん(♡ˊvˋ♡)おすすめです♪

This is a “must do” activity. You can spend an entire day, or just a few hours. We ended up spending about 6:00 hours and loved every bit. Go early, as the crowds are not bad in the mornings before 9:00.

There were no Japanese people other than us, but the atmosphere was enjoyable with families, couples, and people from various countries. The price included two free drinks, but we were told that there was no charge for the third drink, making it all-you-can-drink. Just make sure not to forget to give a tip to the staff instead of paying the bill. The sunset was wonderful, and I thought the night view after sunset was worth a million dollars.

日本人は我々以外居なかったが、家族連れやカップル、いろんな国からの人達で楽しい雰囲気だった。
代金には2フリードリンクでしたが、3杯目からも代金は要らないと言われ、飲み放題でした。
ただ代金の支払いの代わりにスタッフにチイップを渡すのは忘れないように。
サンセットは素晴らしく、日没後の夜景も100万ドルの価値があると思いました。

Due to strong winds for two consecutive days, we had to turn back from the sea, but on the third try, we finally experienced parasailing in the best conditions. I brought my camera to take pictures while ascending, but I was so captivated by the scenery that I didn't take many photos. I'm glad I asked the staff to take pictures for me; they took about 200 photos for just $30.

2日連続の強風で海上で中止引き返しましたが、三度目の正直で最高のコンディションでパラセーリングを経験出来ました。
写真を撮ろうとカメラを持って上昇しましたが、景色に見とれてあんまり撮れず、スタッフにカメラ撮影を頼んで良かったです。30ドルで約200枚撮ってくれました。

Lovely hike! The water and hiking stick as well as the bug spray that was provided, was greatly appreciated.

Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to Dan and Chieko, I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see and had the best time! They also recommended a restaurant, which was very delicious. Thank you so much!

あいにくの天気だったのですが、ダンさんチエコさんのおかげで念願だったウミガメにも会え最高の時間を過ごすことができました！オススメのレストランも教えてくださって、とっても美味しかったです♡ありがとうございました！

I was looking forward to the blue sky and blue sea, but...
I was really disappointed by the terrible weather.
The rain and the extreme cold even made me feel unwell...
Later, when I was talking to a local taxi driver, he sympathized with me, saying it was unfortunate to go during a time of heavy rain that happens once every ten years.
Well, it was disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it.
However, the staff must have been cold too, yet they worked hard to cheer us up by getting into the sea with bright smiles.
This time, the weather was the worst, but the tour itself was really great, and if I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try again.
After all, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience such amazing nature.

This time I give it two stars, but if the weather had been good, it would have been five stars.

青い空、青い海を期待しての参加だったのに・・・
最悪の天気でガッカリでした。
雨と、あまりの寒さに体調までくずし・・・
後日、地元のタクシーの運転手と話しをしていたところ、10年に一度の大雨みたいな時に行くなんて残念だったね、と同情されました。
まあ、残念ではありましたが、これも自然相手なので仕方がないな、と思うしかありませんね。
しかしスタッフの人達も寒かったはずなのに、一緒に海に入り明るい笑顔で盛り上げてくれるなど一生懸命に頑張っておられました。
今回は、天気の都合で最悪でしたが、ツアー事態は大変良く、またハワイに行く機会が有りましたら、絶対再チャレンジしたいと思います。
なんと言ってもすばらしい自然に触れられるのですからね。

今回は星2つですが、天気さえよければ5つ星です。

The food was only ok. Service was very good. show was great! We had some wind which made some waves, so the boat was rocking a bit. Our server came around to ask if anyone was feeling seasick. Thankfully, no one in our group was.

I tried parasailing for the first time on my honeymoon. I have a fear of heights and don't handle thrills well, so I chose the 130m option. I was captivated by the beautiful scenery and the clear ocean, so I didn't feel scared and genuinely enjoyed it! However, I found it a bit scary to let go of the belt, so I think it's better to leave the photos during parasailing to someone who isn't afraid of heights.

We were the only Japanese people there, but thanks to the cheerful instructor, we didn't have any issues. We opted for the shuttle service, but if the hotel is within walking distance to the meeting point, it might have been nice to enjoy the beach on the way there and back without the shuttle.

It went by in a flash, but it became a wonderful memory! I want to do it again!

新婚旅行で初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。高所恐怖症&絶叫苦手なので130m。
素敵な景色と綺麗な海に魅力されて、怖さは感じず素直に楽しめました♫
ただ、ベルトから手を離すのは少し怖かったのでパラセーリング中の写真は高所恐怖症じゃない方に任せた方がいいと思いました^ ^;
日本人は私達しかいませんでしたが、ノリの良いインストラクターさんのおかげで何も困ることはありませんでした。
送迎ありにしましたが、集合場所に歩いて行けるホテルであれば、行き帰りにビーチを楽しめるので送迎無しでも良かったかなと思いました。
あっという間でしたが、素敵な思い出になりました！またやりたい！

I found a tour where you can enjoy a meal while watching a hula dance show, which was my mother's wish. I was very satisfied with both the content of the show and the seats we were given. The meal was a buffet, and everything was delicious. There were many participants, so there was a line to get food, and we had to wait quite a bit, but while waiting, we were able to see the sunset, so it wasn't too tiring. The show was mostly in English. There were more Western guests than Asian ones, which was nice in a way that felt less typically Hawaiian.

母の希望でフラダンスショーを観ながら食事が出来るツアーを探していて見つけました。
ショーの内容も通された席も大満足。
食事はブュッフェでしたがどれも美味しかったです。参加者が多く食事を取りに行くのに行列が出来ていて結構待たなければなりませんでしたが、待っている間にちょうど夕焼けも見れて待ちくたびれると言う程ではなかったので良かったかと思います。
ショーは全般英語。お客さんもアジア人より欧米の方が多く、良い意味でハワイらしくなくて良かったです。

Two years ago, I went to Hanauma Bay on a different guided tour, but my 4-year-old daughter was unhappy, and we didn't get to see any turtles, so this time we made a comeback! The guides took great care of my daughter, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! We also got to see turtles, which was amazing! I highly recommend it!

二年前にハナウマ湾へ別のガイドツアーで行きましたが、4歳だった娘は嫌がり、亀さんも見られず残念だったので、今回リベンジしました！娘のこともしっかりフォローしてくださり、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました！亀さんも見られて、最高でした！オススメです！！

I booked this horseback riding tour because my boyfriend has expressed how much he has always wanted to ride a horse. I did a quick search and Veltra had this awesome offer for a 2-for-1 which I found perfect as a surprise for him! I booked it and got confirmation very quickly.
We were coming from Honolulu so the drive took about an hour. Our booking was at 2pm and check-in was at 1:30pm. The early check-in was for the explanation of the liability and consent form while they prepared the horses. There was the two of us plus a small family of three. Helmets are recommended but not required- they are free to use. (If opt to not use a helmet, you must sign a section on the liability form) Around 10 minutes before 2pm, they explain and demonstrate how to ride and take care of our horses. We get on and begin the tour shortly after 2pm!
We got lucky with the weather! When we first arrived, it was grey, cloudy and started to drizzle. By the time we began our horse ride it turned sunny! Leanna was our guide and she is the sweetest person! We were all beginning horseback riders so we went at a good pace. She talked about the range, answered our questions, asked about ourselves, and made sure we were all comfortable and in control of our horses throughout the entire tour. The trail included uphill, downhill, and flat plains. The top view was absolutely stunning. We got to see the beautiful blue ocean in-front of us and the Ko'olau mountains behind us. Leanna even took our photos and they came out amazing. It was so serene, sunny and not too hot because there were cool breezes throughout that hour trail ride.
This is definitely an experience of a lifetime. I am so incredibly happy we got to do this! The views were breathtaking and I will be attaching photos even though the real thing is 1000 times better! We'll be doing it again the next time we get the chance. Thank you so much Leanna and Gunstock Range for a lovely time and thank you Veltra for the great offer!

My wife and I were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to venture out to the north shore of Oahu to get a taste of the landscape out there. I booked a horseback riding tour for our first full day in Oahu, and even though we had to get up early to make it out in time for our ride, it was SO worth it. Everything with the ride and staff at Gunstock ranch was perfect. Finding the ranch was easy and the signs leading to where we needed to go were so clear. We showed up a little early and our tour guide was still grooming and prepping the horses for the day, but she let us wander around and meet some of the horses. She was so kind and informative and did an amazing job leading our ride. She was patient and very clear in her instructions, and even though our ride was only 1 hour I feel like she went above and beyond to pack as much as she could into our hour ride! The service from Gunstock ranch was TOP NOTCH and I would HIGHLY recommend anybody to check it out. Even if the price seems a little high, it was so worth it and I can guarantee you will not regret making the trek out and taking a trail ride with Gunstock ranch. The location / area is so beautiful, we even saw a full and amazing rainbow the morning of our ride. If I could give this company / this ride 6 stars I would! I will definitely come back again next time we are on the island!

Since I had a golden seat, I was able to see well from the second or third row. Perhaps because it was outdoors in January, it was cold when the wind blew, and my body got chilly. Maybe it's better to wear warm clothes even in Hawaii when outdoors?!

Regarding the food, since I was cold, there were many cold dishes that didn't suit my taste. Personally, I found the outdoor show at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel to be more wonderful, and the food was better, so I rated the Hilton show three stars.

ゴールデンシートだったので前から２，３列目でよく見えました。1月の屋外だったせいか風が吹くと寒くて体が冷えてしまった。屋外の時はハワイでも暖かい恰好がいいのかも？！
お料理については 体が冷えてるから冷たい物が多くて口に合わなかった。
個人的にロイヤルハワイアンホテルの屋外のショーの方が素敵でお食事も良かったのでヒルトンのショーは星３つにしました。

I wasn’t expecting much since it wasn’t a tour. The driver did drive by past places that have significance to President Obama. Beautiful waterfall! No need for a guide.

It was an experience unlike any other we have done. The guides knew where the turtles were and were very happy to answer any questions! We saw so many turtles! I wish there had been a little intro to snorkeling for those who haven’t done this before. Good memories were made.

I had so much fun, and most importantly I saw so many beautiful sea turtles!!! The crew was really friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour!

It was extremely crowded, but we were able to enjoy the slides to the fullest and had delicious food. After getting full, we experienced bodyboarding.

I'm satisfied!

めちゃくちゃ混んでて、回らないわけでもなく
思い切りスライダーなど楽しめて、美味しいご飯
でお腹いっぱいになったところで、ボディボード体験^_^

満足です

It was cold and there were a lot of downpours during this season. Despite not being able to bring in food and drinks, the meals were terrible. Just like in America.

時期的にスコールが多く、寒かったです。
飲食持ち込み出来ないわりには食事が最悪。さすがアメリカです。

We challenged ourselves to 150 meters with our friends. We had to go out to sea from the transfer boat and move to a boat with special equipment. The waves were strong, and everyone got soaked with seawater, so I was a bit scared that I might slip and fall on the unstable footing. I also recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take motion sickness medication in advance. The parasailing itself was thrilling and very enjoyable. It became the best memory. I'm glad we did it.

友達夫婦と一緒に150mに挑戦しました。
移送ボートから沖へ行き、海上で専用設備のある船に海移らなければならないです。波のうねりが強く、皆海水でびしょ濡れだったので、足場が揺れ滑って落ちないか少し怖かったです。また酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めをおすすめします。パラセイリング自体はスリルがありとても楽しかったです。最高の思い出になりました。やってよかったです。

Due to the wind, I couldn't fly for two consecutive days, but I was able to fly on the last day. Some of the staff spoke a little Japanese, but it was mostly in English. I couldn't speak at all, but I managed with gestures! They were really interesting people and it was fun!

After flying, I can only say it felt amazing. I have a fear of heights, but I was totally fine! The sensation of flying at a height of 120 meters is something you can't experience anywhere else, so it was truly the best time.

風の影響で2日連続で飛べず、最後の日に飛ぶことができました。スタッフさんは日本語が少し通じる方もいらっしゃいましたが、基本的にはずっと英語でした。全く喋れないですがジェスチャーでなんとかなります！すごく面白い方で楽しかったです！
飛んでからは本当に気持ちがいいの一言です。私は高所恐怖症ですが、全然大丈夫でした！120mの高さで飛んでる感覚は味わえないので本当に最高の時間でした。

It was both of our first time in Hawaii, and we went parasailing. I was a bit anxious because the guide only spoke English, but he was playful and spoke in broken sentences here and there, so we were able to enjoy it even without fully understanding each other! The view from the sky was just amazing!!!

2人とも初めてのハワイ、パラセイリングでしたし、ガイドも英語onlyで不安でしたが、所々片言でお茶目なガイドさんで、言葉が通じなくても楽しめました！空からの景色はもうサイコーーー！！！

I had a very luxurious time! You can dive individually, but I think it's much more enjoyable and reassuring to join a tour with a guide like Chieko. I got to see colorful fish and even met two turtles. It's great to receive photos later since it's not easy to take pictures while you're in the water.

とても贅沢な時間を過ごせました！
個人でも潜ることが出来ますが、ツアーに参加してチエコさんのガイドがあった方が安心で、何倍も楽しめると思います。色とりどりのお魚たちと、カメにも２匹会えました。海に入っている時の写真は普段なかなか撮れないので、後から写真を頂けるのも嬉しいです。

Due to strong winds in October, we had to reschedule for the next day, but on the day itself, we managed to fit in activities between the bad weather. I felt reassured knowing that the staff were all experienced professionals!

10月の強風で翌日に振り替えるはめになりましたが、当日も悪天候の合間を縫ってといった感じだったのですが、スタッフのみなさんもがベテラン揃いで安心でした！
