All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This was amazing to see! Highly recommended. It was touching to see and learn about.

We participated as a family of four. I joined 20 years ago and saw sea turtles and beautiful fish in their natural environment, so I wanted to show my children. However, the biggest point is that I didn't realize, since I didn't have kids last time, that the transfer boat to the submarine caused quite a bit of seasickness. It wasn't just us; many other participants were affected, and some adults were even down for the count. While the waves were a bit rough, the real issue seemed to be that we had to wait for about 15 minutes on a rocking boat while picking up people who had been on the submarine. The submarine itself doesn't rock at all.

The guide suggested taking motion sickness medication, but that doesn't help once you're on board. I think it would be better to clearly state in advance that "motion sickness medication is essential" for those who are prone to it. However, they might avoid mentioning this beforehand to maintain a good image.

Additionally, due to the deterioration of the natural environment in recent years, the beautiful coral reefs that were present 20 years ago have significantly decreased, and sea turtles are now rarely seen. The water is often murky (this is all based on what the guide said, so it's not just my impression). It seems that the views may not meet expectations anymore (this is my interpretation).

This tour has been popular for many years, but it might be reaching a transitional period. However, the staff and guides were very friendly.

One more point: when I made the reservation through Veltra, the voucher I received stated "this is not required to bring," but during the boarding process, they asked for proof of the reservation. I was glad I had printed it out just in case.

家族4人で参加しました。私は20年前に参加し、ウミガメや美しい魚が自然の環境で見られたので、子供たちにも見せようと思って参加したのですが・・。
まず最大のポイントは、前回は子供がいなかったので分からなかったのですが、潜水艦乗船までの間の乗り継ぎの船で、かなり船酔いしてしまうということ。我が家だけでなく、他の参加者にもかなり見られたし、中には大人でダウンしている人もいました。確かに少し波は粗いのですが、プレミアムと一般のツアーの乗船場所を回って行く点と、前の回に潜水艦に乗っていた人を帰りのためにピックアップするので、その間15分くらい、揺れる船の上で静止したまま待たないといけないのが辛かったようです。潜水艦自体は全く揺れません。

ガイドの人は酔い止めの薬を飲むよう呼びかけてはいますが、乗船後では何の役にも立ちません。船に弱い人のために、もっと強く事前に「酔い止め必携」を明記した方がいいと思います。ただこれを事前に出すとイメージが悪いので出さないのかもしれないですが・・・。

あと、近年は自然環境の悪化で、20年前はキレイだったサンゴ礁がかなり減り、またウミガメも減ってめったに見られなくなっている上に、海水が濁ることも多い（これらはすべてガイドさんが言っていたことなので、私の印象や創作ではありません）そうで、期待通りの眺望が得られなくなっていることも多いようです（ここは私の解釈）。
長年人気のツアーですが、そろそろ過渡期を迎えているのかもしれないですね。ただ、スタッフ、ガイドさんはとてもフレンドリーでした。

もう1点、ヴェルトラさんで予約をした際に返信されたきたバウチャーには「これは持参不要」とありましたが、乗船手続きの際には予約を取った証拠の提出を求められました。念のためプリントアウトしたものを持っていっておいてよかったです。

It was my first challenge, but that feeling was truly wonderful. Seeing Waikiki from the sky with my spouse made me want to shout, "It's all ours!" The only disappointing thing was that we couldn't buy a photo of ourselves flying. It seems we had to request it at the beginning.

初めてのチャレンジでしたが、あの感覚は、ホントに素晴らしいものでした。夫婦で翔んだ空から見るワイキキも、全部俺たちのものだぁ！と叫びたくなりましたよ。
一つだけ残念だったのは、自分達の翔んだ姿の写真が買えなかったこと。最初に頼んでないとダメだったようです。

It's important not to have high expectations. When you come to Waikiki, you can't help but think about catching big fish or a lot of them, but with that shabby gear and rod, it's impossible. It feels like I'm just wandering around places where there are definitely no fish, and it's kind of embarrassing.

期待しない事がだいじ。やはり、ワイキキまで来たらデカイ魚や、数がたくさん釣れるとか考えてしまいますが、あのボロい仕掛けと竿では無理。ポイントも絶対に魚が居ない所をウロウロして馬鹿にされてるみたいです。

I had a very fun experience with a Japanese lady and some joke-loving gentlemen who provided explanations during the tour!

They indicated the direction of the turtles based on the clock, with the front of the boat being 12 o'clock. But sometimes they would tell little lies (laughs) like "Dolphins at 5 o'clock! Whales at 3 o'clock! Just kidding!"

I'm not sure if it was just that day, but they appeared in large numbers all around.

After a bit of movement, we enjoyed snorkeling for the first time at the sandbar, surrounded by lots of fish and coral reefs. The light meal afterward was simple, yet it tasted incredibly delicious!

I highly recommend it.

とっても楽しい日本人お姉さま(&ジョーク好きなオジサマ達)が説明添乗していただけました！

船の前方方向が12時として、時間でカメのいる方角を教えてくれます。
でも時々ウソつきます(笑)イルカ5時！クジラ３時！ウソ！とか。

この日だけなのか分かりませんが、アッチコッチに大量に現れてくれました。

そして少し移動してサンドバーでは初体験のシュノーケリングを大量のお魚さんたちとサンゴ礁と楽しみました。そのあとの軽食は簡単なものなのにとてもとても美味しく感じました！

おすすめです。

I nervously challenged myself to the 90M. It was a lot of fun. Next time, I want to try the 150M!

わたしの方がビクビクしながら、、90Mにチャレンジしました。とても楽しかったです。次回は150Mに挑戦してみたいです！

The crew was kind and cheerful while working, which made for a pleasant experience. I was able to see a dolphin for a little while, and I also saw a sea turtle. It was tough because the snorkeling mask didn't fit well, and seawater kept getting in. That didn't happen during a different activity the day before. Also, no one received an eco bag.

クルーが優しく楽しげに仕事をしていて
気持ちよく楽しめました。
イルカは少しだけ見れたし、海亀も見れ
ました。
シュノーケリングのマスクが合わないのか
海水が入ってきてしんどかった。
前日の別のアクティビティではそんなこと
がなかったのに。
あと、誰もエコbagもらえませんでした。

This time, my family of three participated in a five-person buggy ride, and I never imagined that racing through nature in a buggy could be so much fun. The weather was great, the scenery was amazing, and my child was thrilled with the new experience. I would like to stop by Kualoa again during our stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

今回、家族3人で、５人乗りバギーに参加したのですが、
大自然の中を、バギーで疾走するのが、こんなに楽しいとは想像できませんでした。
天気も良く景色も最高で、子供も未体験の感覚に喜んでおります。
またハワイ滞在の際には、クアロアに立ち寄りたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, our family of four (two adults, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler) participated. The introduction page mentioned "everyone paddles together" and "participants must be 3 years or older," so I assumed everyone would be paddling. However, when we participated, only the two adults were allowed to paddle. The children, aged 13 and 11, were told by the captain in English, "If I give the oars to the kids, they'll lose them, and that would be a problem," so they could only ride along. Instead, two male helpers paddled with us, but the kids were disappointed, so I wish we had known this when signing up. *I saw in other reviews that it mentioned "it's okay if women and children don't paddle," but in our case, it was more like "the kids wanted to paddle, but they weren't even allowed to hold the oars." The surfing itself was really fun and went by too quickly. Since we only had two runs, it felt a bit unsatisfying.

ハワイ到着日に、家族4人（夫婦・中学生・小学生）で参加しました。
紹介ページには「みんなで息を合わせて漕ぐ」「３歳以上参加可能」などと書かれており、全員で漕ぐものだとばかり思っていましたが、参加してみると、漕がせてもらえたのは大人２人だけ。子供たちは１３歳と１１歳ですが、船長さんから「子供にオールを渡すと、なくすから困るんだよね～」と英語で言われ、漕がせてもらえず、ただ乗るだけでした。代わりに助っ人さん（男性２人）が一緒に乗って漕いでくれましたが、子供たちはがっかりしていたので、できれば申込時に知りたかったです。※他の方の口コミに「女子供は漕がなくても大丈夫」というような記載がありましたが、私たちの場合は「子供たちも漕いでみたかったのに、オールさえ持たせてもらえない」状況でした。
波乗り自体は本当に楽しくて、楽しすぎて、あっという間でした。２本だけだったので、何だかちょっと物足りないくらいでした。

Had a great time! However, they did not provide fins. That would have made it slightly easier to snorkel. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff was great.

Great time and great guides. Enjoyed every minute.

We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!

It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.

It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!

ウミガメが間近にプカプカと泳いでいて子供がとても喜びました
サンドバーはとても綺麗で感動しました。周りの山に海とても生えて綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングはしてもしなくても良いとの事ですがせっかくなので行いましたが、たくさんの人数で行うので海の透明度は沖縄の方があると思います！
子供にはいい体験でした！
スタッフの方々がとてもアットホームで船の上も楽しく過ごすことができました！

An 8-year-old was able to handle everything, including the foot push. It was fun.
Note: You can't use a credit card unless you have a photo ID or a passport with you.

8歳児でもフットプッシュ他、すべてこなせました。
楽しかったです。
注意:クレジットカードは写真付きでないとパスポート携帯してないと使えませんよ。

That was an awesome adventure! My brother and I had a blast we just wish the ride was at least ten minutes longer. Besides that the crew was very professional but also new how to have a good time. We would definitely do it again. Although for future customers you should add some time for the price! Thanks.

I flew with my husband and our 17-year-old daughter. I was eager to take pictures, but the boat was quite rocky, which made it challenging. The view from above was amazing, and there was no fear at all; it felt absolutely wonderful.

夫と17歳娘で飛びました。私は写メを撮ろうと張り切っていましたが船の揺れがけっこうあり苦戦しました。
上からの景色は最高で思ってたこわさなど全然なく最高に気持ちよかったそうです。

We applied as a couple with our 17-year-old daughter, but I ended up with a back injury at the location, so my husband and daughter participated without me. My daughter was very satisfied and said it was the most fun she had during our six-day stay in Oahu. Until two days prior, it showed no cancellation fee, but since we couldn't print the updated voucher on-site, I felt it was a waste not to cancel. If we have the chance next time, I would like to experience other courses at Kualoa Ranch together.

夫婦と17歳娘で申込みしましたが現地でギックリ腰になり夫と娘二人での参加になりました。
娘は大満足で、6日間のオアフ島滞在で一番楽しかったそうです。
二日前までキャンセル料なしと表示でしたが、変更後のバウチャー印刷が現地でできないのでキャンセル連絡せずもったいなく思いました。
今度機会があればクアロア牧場の他のコースも一緒に体験したいです。

The pickup was on time, and we enjoyed parasailing. We also had family photos taken, but after arriving at the port, we had to wait for a while. When I asked, I was told that the photo data was on the camera that was on the next boat, so they couldn't give it to us right away. They asked us to come back to the port, but we had other plans, so we couldn't go. It was really disappointing since we wanted those photos. Everything else was great.

ピックアップも時間通りにしてもらいパラセイルも楽しめました。家族での写真も撮ってもらっていただけに港に着いてから暫く待たされ、聞いてみると写真のデータはカメラを次の便に乗せたのですぐには渡せないとの事。
また港に来てくれと言われましたが予定もあったので行けませんでした。せっかく欲しかったデータだけにその辺りがすごく残念でした。あとは良かったです。

Loved the view we had as the captain brought us closer to Diamondhead! Got to see honus and had tons of fun! Definitely recommend! :)

Hawaii parasailing at a height of 90m. Almost took off into the sky without much explanation. But it felt great! I enjoyed the scenery and the wind from above, and my wife, who went up next, said she was able to see turtles from the sky.

ハワイ　パラセイリング　高さ90m　　ほとんど、説明なく空へテイクオフ。　でも、気持ちよかった～　　僕は、上空からは景色と風を楽しみましたが、次にとんだ奥さんはは、上空からカメを見れたそうです。

The departure featured Motley Crue. The sailing was smooth and thrilling until we returned to port. The scenery was also fantastic. I highly recommend it!

出港からBGNはモトリークルー。セイリング、帰港までスムーズで、スリリングでした。景色も最高。おすすめですよ

It was as good as I expected. The waves and wind were calm on the day, but there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. For lunch, it was not BBQ but a cheese bar. (The bread had taro in it.)

予想していたぐらいの良さです。当日は波も風も穏やかでしたが、船で寄っている人が何人かいたので、酔い止めは必需品です。お昼はＢＢＱではなくチーズバーがです。（パンはタロイモが入っていた）

We gathered in front of the designated hotel at 9 AM and took a bus. We went with a BBQ plan. Each tube had its own designated float, but many people ended up having to line up again because it wasn't strictly enforced, so be careful. You can tell which float is which by looking around.

There are about six different types of tubes, but they were split into two groups, and you have to use the designated float. However, there were no prior instructions, which made it a bit confusing. Many people were lining up again, and there wasn't much effort to communicate properly. Well, this is America, after all (laughs). The lack of motivation from the staff is something that would be unthinkable in Japan, but if you accept that this is America, you can enjoy it a lot (laughs).

The BBQ lunch buffet was not what I expected; I thought we would be able to BBQ ourselves, but it was more of a "buffet style where you can freely take the BBQ ingredients." Well, as long as it's tasty, that's what matters (laughs). The ingredients were decent, and I enjoyed them reasonably well. If you're a light eater, there are also regular places where you can just line up and buy food, so that might be a good option too. The all-you-can-drink option also required lining up, so I only used it once.

We gathered at 3 PM and took the bus back. The short duration of the stay was a downside, but I enjoyed the experience itself.

朝の9時に指定されたホテル前に集合してバスで行く。BBQ付きプランで行った。各チューブでそれぞれ専用のウキワを使うのだが、徹底してなくて並び直す羽目になる人が結構いたので要注意。周りを見ればどのウキワなのかがわかる。
いろんなパターンのチューブが6種類くらいあるが、２手に分かれていたりして、指定のウキワを使わなけりゃいけないのですが、事前の説明書きなどが無くてややこしい。
並び直す人が結構いて、ちゃんと伝える努力ってものがないですねー。まぁ、ここはアメリカですからねぇ(笑)　バイトの兄ちゃんのやる気のなさなど日本ではありえない運営体制ですが、アメリカなんで致し方ないと達観すれば大いに楽しめるでしょう（爆）
BBQランチ食べ放題は、BBQできるのかと思いきや・・・「BBQされてる食材をビュッフェ形式で自由に取る」って形態のものでした。まぁ美味しく食べられればそれでいいんですけど(笑)まぁまぁな食材があり、まぁまぁ普通においしくいただきました。小食の方ならこのプランでなくても、普通に並んで購入するところもありますのでそちらでもよろしいかと。ドリンク飲み放題もいちいちならばにゃいかんので1回しか使わなかった。
15時集合でバスに乗って帰った。滞在時間が少なすぎるのが難点だが、内容そのものは楽しめましたよ。

We had fun, including the kids. It was also good that it was close to the hotel. The boat sways quite a bit, so caution is needed.

子供も含めて楽しめました
ホテルから近いところでできるのもgoodでした。
船はかなり揺れるので注意が必要です

We participated as a family of four. We drove from Waikiki and met at the location. Once we got on the highway, the directions were easy to follow, and we arrived without any issues. Besides us, there were no other Asian guests, and all the instructions were in English, but the staff were all kind and communicated well with gestures, so it was fine. The zip line was incredibly exhilarating! The initial fear quickly turned into enjoyment after the first ride. My fifth-grade son even let go with both hands at times. Climbing the ropes along the way was tough for someone as weak as me, but a handsome staff member helped me, which was great. On the way back, we stopped by Haleiwa and had burgers before heading home. We really enjoyed our time in Hawaii.

家族4人で参加。ワイキキからレンタカーで現地集合しました。ハイウェイにのってしまえば、道もわかりやすくなんなくつけました。私たち以外はアジア人客がおらず、説明もぜんぶ英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方もみんな優しく身振り手振りで教えてくれるので大丈夫。ジップラインは超きもちいい！怖い気持ちは一回すれば慣れて、楽しさに変わります。小5の息子は手放ししたりしてました。途中のロープを登るのは、非力な私には辛かったですが、イケメンお兄さんが助けてくれるので、それもまたよしです。帰りは、ハレイワを回ってバーガー食べて帰りました。ハワイを満喫できました。

We had a great time snorkeling and seeing all of the sea life! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

My wife went separately, so I took my two sons (15 and 10 years old) with me. Having previously visited Adventure Cove in Singapore, Waterbom in Bali, and domestic spots like Shibamasa World and Nagashima Resort, I can't help but compare. The atmosphere here has a tropical vibe, and Waterbom is definitely the best (followed by Adventure Cove). The food is also better at Waterbom (I only know a place called Thaitalian, but it's definitely delicious). The water slides are best at Adventure Cove. I remember queuing multiple times for the incredible slide called the Riptide Rocket (please check the website for details). I think it's the same one that recently made its debut in Japan at NESTA Kobe! So, while the slides at Wet 'n' Wild felt pretty standard, the speed and lateral G-forces provided a thrill, and the kids tried them multiple times. The wave pool had some seriously intense waves that could almost make you feel like you were drowning if you weren't careful, which was a lot of fun. I think the kids were satisfied, but if the price is the same, I might not choose this place again.

妻は別行動のため、息子たち2人（１５歳と１０歳）で行ってきました。
過去にシンガポールのアドベンチャーコーブ、バリのウォーターボム、国内なら芝政、ナガシマリゾートなどで遊んだことがあるので比較してしまいますが、雰囲気は南国っぽい感じで断然ウォーターボム（次にアドベンチャーコーブ）、食事もウォーターボム（確実にうまいです。Thaitalianという店しか知りませんが）、ウォータースライダーはアドベンチャーコーブですね。リップタイドロケットという物凄い（詳細はホームページをご参照ください）スライダーに何回も並んで乗ったのが記憶にあります。最近ネスタ神戸に日本初上陸！と宣伝しているあれだと思います。ですので、ウェットアンドワイルドのスライダーは普通っちゃ普通な感じですが、スピード感と横Gはスリルがあり子供たちは何回もトライしていました。あと波の出るプールの波が油断するとおぼれそうな半端ない激しい波で楽しめました。
子供たちは満足していたので良かったと思いますが、同じ料金なら次はないかも・・です。

We gathered and departed before 6 AM, and the early start was a bit tough. Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a pod of dolphins and began snorkeling. Due to the busy season, there were many participants, and I was the last to enter the water, so I couldn't see any dolphins. Those who went in first were able to see dolphins swimming right in front of them. It seems that to see the moving dolphins, you really need to go early.

After that, we moved to see turtles, as there are rocky areas where they reside. As expected, since they live among the rocks, we were able to see three turtles swimming slowly around the area. One of them came up right in front of me, probably for air, which was surprising. It was within reach. This was great and I think it became a wonderful memory.

朝の６時前に集合して出発、早いのが少し辛い。
出港早々、イルカの群れを発見しシュノーケル開始。
繁忙期の為、参加者が多く、私は最後に海に入るもイルカは見られず。先頭で入った方々は目の前を泳ぐイルカを見れたとの事。やはり移動して行くイルカを見るには早めに行かないと厳しいみたい。
その後はカメを見に移動、こちらはカメが住み着いている岩場があるという事。流石に岩場に住み着いているという事なので、カメが３頭ゆっくりと岩の周りが泳いでいるのが見れました。
その内の１頭が息継ぎの為か目の前まで上がって来てビックリ。もう手の届く距離でした。
これは良いけど想い出になったと思います。

I wanted to do hula, so my 8-year-old daughter and I participated. Since there were two of us, the tour was held.

On the day of the tour, it was just the two of us, which felt like a private experience—very luxurious!

The Japanese staff at the Bishop Museum kindly guided us around both inside and outside the museum.

Since both my daughter and I practice hula, we had discussions related to hula, which were very educational!

I thought it was a tour that would be very beneficial for anyone who does hula.

Of course, we also learned a hula song. Although the kumu hula was absent, the substitute teacher, who was a man, was very kind and friendly, making it enjoyable to learn hula.

Our 5-year-old son also practices hula, but he couldn't participate since he is under 8.

It was a tour that made me want to let my son join as well.

The shuttle service was smooth, and there were various slides that were fun. I was satisfied with the types of slides that are not available in Japan. It was disappointing that outside food and drinks were not allowed.

送迎からスムーズでスライダーも色々あり楽しかったです。日本には無いタイプのスライダーに満足です。持ち込みの飲食が禁止なところが残念でした。

When I went to the reception, I was informed that the previous customer hadn't left yet, so the start time was pushed back by about 30 minutes.

The staff seemed to have limited Japanese skills, but they were familiar with Japanese customers, so it wasn't a problem at all.

Parasailing offered beautiful views of the sky and sea, and Diamond Head was stunning; it was an amazing experience. There is a risk of falling into the sea, and I regret not bringing an action camera.

Since the previous group and some people from the same group got sick, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness bring some medication.

One thing I found a bit concerning was that while I think you specify the height in advance, it wasn't confirmed on-site, and I'm not sure if adjustments were made regarding the height with the previous group. They wrap a ring around your wrist at the reception, so perhaps the boat staff adjusts it based on that.

Overall, I am very satisfied!

受付に行くと、前のお客さんがまだ帰っていないとのことで30分程度時間が繰り下がっての開始でした。

スタッフさんは日本語あまりできないみたいでしたが、日本人慣れされているので全然問題なかったです。

パラセイリングは空と海が綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッドが美しく、最高の体験でした。
海に落とすリスクはありますが、アクションカメラを持って行けばよかったと後悔しています。

前のグループの人&同じグループの人がもどしてしまっていたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持って行くことをおすすめします。

少し気になったのは、事前に高さを指定して申し込むと思いますが、現場で確認はされませんでしたし、前のグループとの高さの調整もしているかは不明でした。
受付で手首にリングを巻かれるので、それによって船のスタッフさんが調整してくれているのかもしれませんが。。

しかし、全体的にとても満足です！
