All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Dan arrived on time, found us and was an awesome guide. He helped me realise that I might be a Mermaid. Awesome, top notch, never wanted the day to end.

The pickup was scheduled for 10:15, but a large bus arrived about 10 minutes late. Before boarding, you will receive a wristband. The wristband indicates the time of the return bus and the bus number you will take. There will be announcements in Japanese explaining the park and the various plans you signed up for.

We arrived at the park in about 40 minutes, and a Japanese staff member explained how to use the lockers and the return bus schedule. The lockers were about $13 and allowed for unlimited access. It was not allowed to board the return bus while still wet.

Upon arriving at the park at 11:00, there was a bag check, and we had to line up (bringing food and drinks was not permitted). After entering and storing our belongings in the lockers, we were excited to play! However, many attractions were still closed (laughs). While enjoying the attractions that were already open, we passed the time, and by just after 12:00, they gradually began to open, with all attractions available by 1:00. It was a very American park (laughs).

Staff did not provide any explanations on how to ride the attractions, so I recommend checking the bulletin board in front of each attraction. There are many thrill rides with steep drops, so it's quite exhilarating! There are stairs and slopes to climb, so you need to be physically fit. Some attractions can only accommodate 3 to 4 people, so if you go with just two people, you will need to ride with another group.

The return bus was the same as the one we took to the park. It stopped very close to the park exit, making it easy to find. You will be dropped off in the same area as on the way there!

Since water slides are not something you often see in Japan, I took full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy them! It was a great experience!

10:15にピックアップが来る予定でしたが10分位遅れて大型バスが来ました。
乗車する前に、リストバンドを付けられます。リストバンドには帰りのバスの時間と乗るバスの番号が記載されてます。
日本語のアナウンスでパークの説明と申し込んだ各プランの説明がされます。
40分くらいでパークに着き、日本語のスタッフからロッカーの使い方や帰りのバスの時間の説明があります。ロッカーは13$くらいで出し入れ自由でした。濡れたまま帰りのバスに乗るのはNGでした。

11時にパークに着くと荷物チェックがあり並びます。（食べ物飲み物の持ち込みは不可）
入場してロッカーに荷物を預けて遊ぶぞー！！ってなったはいいものの、まだ開いてないアトラクション多数あり（笑）
すでに開いてるアトラクションを楽しみながら、時間を過ごしていると12時過ぎに徐々に開き始め13時には全てのアトラクションが楽しめるようになるTHEアメリカなパークでした（笑）

アトラクション乗り方の説明などはスタッフから一切されないのでアトラクション前の掲示板でちゃんと確認してからをお勧めします。
急降下のアトラクションがたくさんあるので、スリル満点です！階段、坂の登りがあるので、体力も必要。3〜4人でしか乗れないアトラクションもあるので2人で行く人は、別の組と一緒に乗る事になります。
帰りは行きと同じバスでした。パークの出口のすぐ近くに止まってるので、わかりやすかったです。
行きと同じ辺りの所で降ろして貰えます！

日本ではなかなかお目にかかれないウォータースライダーなので、ここぞとばかりに楽しんでしまいました！良い体験が出来ました！

It was thrilling, and there was a rainbow over Waikiki, making the view absolutely stunning! The advanced board skills allowed me to dip my feet into the ocean, adding to the excitement!

スリル満点、丁度ワイキキに虹もかかっていて景色も最高でした！
高度なボードさばきで海に足元を漬けてくれたりと、スリル満点でした！

We participated as a couple. Since check-in was at the beach in front of the hotel, there wasn't a check-in counter; instead, there was a staff member under a parasol, which mixed in with other beachgoers and was a bit confusing (laughs). I thought this was quite typical of being overseas. We moved to a boat in front of the Halekulani Hotel to board.

Everyone else was from English-speaking countries. The crew spoke only in English, and since I had some snorkeling experience, I managed to keep up. The snorkeling lasted quite a while, about an hour. There was an explanation in English on how to put on the gear, and we were given life jackets and goggles (no fins, but that was fine). Equipped with the snorkeling set, we headed into the sea!! When I swam along with the crew, there were sea turtles!!! I was thrilled to encounter four of them! The seawater was a bit murky, so it was hard to see the fish, but I still had a great time. After that, we returned to the boat for sailing. It was an exhilarating moment with the large sail unfurled, creating a sense of speed. You can buy water and beer on the boat, so no need to worry about drinks! (Cash is better.) There was also a restroom on board. Since sailing can be quite bumpy for a long time, those prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication. It was a great activity to enjoy the waters of Waikiki in a short amount of time!!

夫婦で参加しました。
ホテルの前のビーチでチェックインという事だったので、チェックインカウンター的なものはなく、パラソルの下に担当のお姉さんが居て他の海水浴客のパラソルと混ざり困惑（笑）これも海外っぽいなぁなんて思いました。
ハレクラニホテルの前にある船に移動して乗船。

私達以外は全員英語圏の方だった。
船員も終始英語で、スノーケル経験者だったのでなんとかついていけたって感じ。
スノーケルは長めで、1時間くらい。英語での装着の説明もあり、ライフジャケットと水中メガネを渡されます。（フィンは無し。無くても大丈夫でした。）
スノーケルセットを装備していざ、海へ！！
船員の人に泳いでついて行くと…そこには海ガメが！！！その後も4匹も出会えて感動でした！少し海水が濁っていたので魚は見えにくかったですが、楽しめました。その後、船に戻ってセイリング。大きな帆を広げてスピード感とスリリングなひと時でした。お水やビールなども船上で買えるので飲み物の心配なし！（現金の方が良い）トイレも船内にありました。セイリングは割と長い時間揺れるので船酔いする人は酔い止めが必要です。
ワイキキの海を短時間で楽しめる良いアクテビティでした！！

Straight off Waikiki beach - fun crew. We had dolphins frolicking off our bow and escorting us halfway to Diamond Head then saw plenty of turtles when we snorkeled.

As everyone has mentioned, I went on a Sunday in October, and it wasn't crowded. If you can get a shaded chair, you can spend your time comfortably.

There are plenty of water slides. Kids who are able to ride the water slides will have a lot of fun! The children's pool was well-equipped.

皆さんがかいてある通りでした、
10月の日曜日にいきましたが、混んでません
日陰のチェアとれれば快適に過ごせます

ウォータースライダーも沢山あります。
ウォータースライダー乗れるくらいのお子さんは、とても楽しいかもー！
子供用プールが充実してました。

I was in a beginner group lesson with two foreigners, and during the practical session, we communicated in English while watching a video. The tasks are simple, so I think it's manageable. If you have experience with skiing or snowboarding, you'll probably find it easy to stand up.

Let's enjoy the waves in this beautiful natural setting, the birthplace of surfing!

They are taking continuous photos of us while surfing, so don't let your guard down!

初心者グループレッスンで外人2名と私　ビデオを観て実技中は英語　やることは簡単なのでまあわかります
スキーやスノボの経験者なら簡単に立てると思います
あとはサーフィン発祥の地できれいな自然の中波を楽しみましょう！

サーフィン中の連続写真を撮ってくれているので気を抜かないでw

I participated because I could swim with wild dolphins. I was concerned about seasickness, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so it wasn't an issue.

It takes quite a while to reach the snorkeling point after departure, but the staff kept the atmosphere lively, and I had a very enjoyable time on board.

When the captain signaled, we jumped in. We swam to the watching point under our own power, and below us were schools of dolphins. I was healed by the graceful swimming of the dolphins.

We moved to another point and saw many dolphins, and we also spotted a sea turtle swimming along the seabed. The staff were all cheerful and fun. There are also people who can speak Japanese, so feel free to join without worry.

野生のイルカと一緒に泳げるということで参加。
気になる船酔いは事前に酔い止め薬を服用していたので問題ありませんでした。
出港してからシュノーケリングポイントまでは結構な時間がかかりますが、船上ではスタッフのみなさんが盛り上げてくれて非常に楽しい時間を過ごせます。
船長の合図でいざ入水。
ウォッチングポイントで目視できるところまで自分たちの力で泳いでいくと、眼下にはイルカたちの群れ。
優雅に泳ぐイルカたちに癒やされます。
他のポイントへ移動し、沢山のイルカたちに会えましたし、海底を泳いでいくウミガメも見られました。
スタッフのみなさんが陽気で楽しい方ばかりです。日本語が話せる方も居ますので、安心して参加してください。

A passionate Japanese guide provided detailed instructions. We encountered a large number of dolphins, and although from the boat, we were also able to see sea turtles.

という情熱を持った日本人ガイドさんがきめ細かく指示してくれます(^^)
大量のイルカに遭遇でき、船上からですがウミガメもみることができました

At Kualoa Ranch, small children are not allowed to participate in horseback riding, but at Gunstock Ranch, kids from the age of seven can ride, making it a fun experience for the whole family. This time, I took my eight-year-old son and we participated as a family. It was truly moving to explore the great outdoors of the North Shore alongside the horses. The horses are well-trained, so even children can participate with peace of mind. The ranch itself is quite far from Waikiki, so I recommend joining with a rental car.

クアロアランチでの乗馬は小さい子供は参加不可ですが、ガンストック牧場は７歳からでも乗馬が出来るので家族みんなで楽しめます。
今回は８歳の息子を連れて家族で参加しましたが、ノースショアの大自然の中を馬と共に散策できるのは感動です。
馬の調教も良くされていて、子供でも安心して参加できます。
牧場自体はワイキキから結構離れていますので、レンタカーで参加されることをおすすめします。

I was nervous before taking off, but once I jumped, it felt amazing! This time I did 90 meters, but next time I'm definitely going for 150 meters.

飛び立つ前は緊張しましたが、いざ飛び出したらひたすら気持ちいい！今回90メートルにしましたが、次回は150メートル確定です。

I was able to enjoy a pleasant morning aerial walk while gazing at Diamond Head. The boat pulling the parasailing is quite bumpy, but I didn't feel nauseous at all. Before landing, you will fall into the water, so it's important to wear something that can get wet and to remove anything that you don't want to get wet. (There is space under the boat seats to store your belongings.) You can return to the hotel while still wet, so there's no need to bring a change of clothes, but you should prepare some tips.

ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながら気持ちの良い朝の空中散歩ができました。パラセーリングを引っ張る船はかなり揺れますが、気持ち悪くなったりということはありませんでした。最後降りてくる前に水に落ちるので、飛ぶときは濡れて良い格好で、濡れて困るものは外しておく必要があります。(船の座席の下に荷物をおくスペースがあります。)ホテルまでは濡れたままで帰れるので着替えをもっていく必要はありませんが、チップの用意は必要です。

A small locker was enough for a few changes of clothes and towels for the family. Payment can be made by credit card. You cannot bring food, but you can bring water.

少量の着替えとタオルくらいなら、ロッカーは小さい方で家族分入りました。
支払いはクレジットカードでも大丈夫です。
食べ物持ち込みは出来ませんが、水は持ち込み可能です。

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of the ocean, but the ziplining in the mountains was amazing. The view while gliding down, looking out at the sea from the mountains, is breathtaking.

There are multiple courses, and it takes about two hours, but there are water stations and some snacks along the way, which shows their attention to detail in service.

The staff only speaks English, so Japanese visitors might feel a bit anxious, but that didn't matter at all; I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.

ハワイといったら海、かもしれませんが、山でのジップライン最高でした。
山から海を眺めながら滑る景色は絶景です。

コースがいくつもあって2時間程かかりますが、途中で給水ポイントやちょっとしたおつまみもあったりで、細かなサービスがされています。

スタッフは英語しか話せないので日本人の方は心細く思うかもしれませんが、そんなことは関係なく十分楽しむことができました。

As it is called the "Sea of Angels," the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was engrossed in snorkeling and playing with the fish, and searching for sea turtles, while enjoying a delicious hamburger for lunch! The BBQ cooked by the beautiful captain with a nice body was delicious. Seeing the beautiful sea, feeling the refreshing breeze, and swaying with the waves was so pleasant, fulfilling all my senses. It was a very fun day that brought me back to my childhood.

天使の海と言われるだけあって、とても綺麗な海でした。
シュノーケルで魚と戯れ、ウミガメさがしに夢中になり、お昼は美味しいハンバーガー‼︎
ナイスバディで美人の船長さんの焼くBBQ美味しかったです。
綺麗な海を見て、爽やかな風を感じ、波に揺られて気持ちよく、五感が満たされました。
とても楽しく子供心に戻った1日でした。

The meeting place was hard to find. The guides were all foreigners, but there were Japanese language sheets with important information provided. We used the emergency life jackets as they were. There were only black fish, but we were able to see two families of sea turtles. They came up for air, so we were able to swim together for a while, which was very moving.

集合場所が分かりずらかったです。ガイドはみんな外人でしたが注意事項は日本語の用紙が用意されてました。ライフジャケットは緊急用のをそのまま使用でした。魚は黒いのしかいなかったですが海ガメ親子2家族とも会えました。息継ぎで上に出てきてくれたのでしばらく一緒に泳げてとても感動しました。

It was my first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay in 20 years. The clarity of the water and the number of fish have definitely decreased. I couldn't help but compare it to the ocean from the past, which was disappointing. However, I think it would be an impressive tour for first-time snorkelers. The pickup was on time, and they were very kind, providing recommendations for local shops and more.

20年ぶりのハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングでした。
やはり海の透明度と魚の数は落ちてました。
昔の海にどうしても比べてしまい残念でした。
シュノーケリングが初めてであれば感動するツアーだとは思います。
迎えの時間どおりで、現地のお勧めのお店を教え下さったりと色々と親切にして頂いけました。

Best cruise we have been on. Great staff, very helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable dinner cruise.

Dan & Cheika were great. I will highly recommend this tour to anyone. We had a fantastic afternoon. Thanks

Picked us up right in front of the hotel,everyone was friendly but my wife and I will NEVER do it again!!!
The service was great But my wife and i both got sick. The crew was very accommodating! If you are looking to parasail you can't go wrong with them but getting sick was out of their control

Excellent snorkeling tour for beginners who aren't strong swimmers
Dan & Chieko -great experienced instructors- very organized- provided all gear, life jackets and constantly checked on how people were doing
We saw a variety of fish and turtles- they took wonderful photos for the group as an added bonus
Highly recommended- would do this again

The staff were energetic and had a very good vibe. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins up close. There was a buildup saying, "Today is amazing. They're right there," so my expectations were high. I could see the dolphins in the distance, but they weren't as close as I had hoped. It felt like I watched the dolphin show at the aquarium two or three times. I couldn't see them in the ocean. I think it's a tour that has its ups and downs. The staff were all very pleasant.

スタッフの皆さんは、元気もありとても良い感じでした。やはりイルカが近くで見れないと少しがっかりです。「今日はすごいよ。そこにいるよ」と前振りもあったので、期待も大きかったです。遠くのイルカは見えましたが、期待していた近さはなく、水族館のイルカショーの回るところを２、3回見ましたという感じです。海の中でみることはできませんでした。当たりはずれがあるツアーだと思います。スタッフは気持ちが良い方ばかりです。

I visited Hawaii on a company trip and participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. Hanauma Bay was so beautiful, and I was very satisfied to see small fish, large fish, and even the long-awaited sea turtles! I had some anxiety since it was my first time in Hawaii, but thanks to Dan and Chieko, I had a lot of fun and made great memories! If I visit Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate! Dan was so cool!♡︎

社員旅行でハワイを訪れ、ハナウマ湾でのシュノーハワイには社員旅行で訪れ、ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
ハナウマ湾がとても綺麗で、小さい魚から、大きな魚、そして念願のウミガメも見れて、大満足でした！
初めてのハワイで不安もあったのですが、ダン先生や、ちえこさんのおかげでとても楽しく、良い思い出ができました！
またハワイを訪れることがあれば是非参加したいです！ダン先生かっこよかったです♡︎

As a 30yr kamaaina , originally from Scotland, I took a visiting Scot on this voyage.. WHAT a joy!
Knowing the sandbar, the snorkeling and turtle viewing areas as a local...I was SO impressed how this professional bunch put on a safe and VERY authentic trip for all to enjoy the best of a windward bay on Oahu.
I can't imagine how anyone could be disappointed going on such a fun, relaxing, water adventure.
Kudos to the local staff who ALL did an exemplary job.

This was my second time on the Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was great again. Unfortunately, the sunset was hidden by clouds, but the night view of the Waikiki hotel district from the ocean side was very beautiful. The last-minute reservation went smoothly, and there were no issues at all. I think it's a recommended tour.

サンセットディナークルーズは二度目でしたが
今回も良かったです。残念ながら夕日は雲に隠れて見えなかったけど海側から見るワイキキのホテル街の夜景はとても綺麗でした。急遽の予約でしたが送迎もスムーズでなんの問題もありませんでした。オススメのツアーだと思います。

We took our son to the show for his birthday and truly enjoyed every minute. I would recommend this show over any of the other Luaus we have been too. The staff was very entertaining and actually seemed to enjoy themselves. We will go again if we get a chance to return to Oahu.

It was an activity to enjoy the scenery rather than the ride, as we ran at a leisurely pace. At first, I was really worried about whether I could handle two hours in the scorching heat, but while running, the wind made it cool and I was fine. I was disappointed that I couldn't film videos while riding.

ゆっくりしたペースで走るので、乗物を楽しむのではなく、景色を楽しむアクティビティでした。
最初とっても暑くて、炎天下2時間大丈夫かなと心配になりましたが、走行中は風を受けて涼しく大丈夫でした。乗りながらのビデオ撮影が出来なかったのが残念でした。

Outstanding experience with a wonderful crew and photographer! Explained everything clearly and ensure we had a safe enjoyable time! Visibility was fantastic and sharks a beauty to observe! Going back if we can before we leave!! Highly recommend this team!!

I previously participated in another snorkeling tour off Waikiki and had a great time, so this time I decided to join this one, which is slightly more expensive but includes a life vest as standard. My husband, who isn't the best swimmer, insisted on having a life vest, so we chose this option, and it turned out to be a good decision. Fortunately, there were plenty of sea turtles this time, which was a delight. The water clarity was decent, and personally, I think you can have a great time snorkeling off Waikiki without needing to go far. For those who have limited time but still want to snorkel, I think this is a great option. Drinks are available for purchase, and snacks are free. As expected, drinks are on the pricier side, so it might be a good idea to bring your own.

以前もう一方のワイキキ沖シュノーケルに参加してヨカッタので今回は若干高いけどライフベストが基本で配られるこちらに参加してみました。泳ぎが今ひとつな主人がライフベストがないとイヤ、というのでそうしたのですが、結果よかったです。ラッキーなことにウミガメが今回たくさんいて堪能。透明度もまずまずだし個人的には遠出しなくても十分ワイキキ沖で楽しめると思います。あまり時間がないけどシュノーケルも、という方にはポイント高いと思います。ドリンクは有料、スナックは無料です。当たり前ですがドリンクは高めなので、持参がよいかと・・・

The pool itself was nice, but the lunch barbecue had a limited menu for the price, and the taste was mediocre. Additionally, the meal time was strict and short.

Since outside drinks are not allowed, it might be necessary, but I think you should buy what you like for lunch at the shop.

プール自体はよかったですが、ランチのバーベキューが値段の割にメニューが少なく、味もイマイチでした。
また、食事時間も厳密で、短かったです。

飲み物は持ち込みできないので、必要かもしれませんが、ランチは売店で好きなものを購入するべきだと思います。
