All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I couldn't meet the dolphins, but I had a great time. Since I had been learning hula dancing, I was really happy that they danced hula on the boat. It was also nice that they kept the atmosphere lively while we were searching for dolphins, allowing us to enjoy our time on board. After coming out of the water, some people were shivering in the wind, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit, but it was a bit tight, and it became uncomfortable after spending a long time on the boat. I regretted not getting a larger size. I wonder if someone brought bananas on board? I'll try again next time.

イルカに会えなかったけれども…
楽しめました。
私は、フラダンスを習っていた事もあり、船上でフラダンスを踊ってくれたのは、嬉しかったです。
イルカにを探している間、船上で楽しい時間を過ごせるよう、盛り上げてくれたのも良かったです。
海から上がり、濡れた身体で風を受けると、寒く震えている方もいましたのでウエットスーツを借りて良かったですが…少しキツかったので、長い時間船上で過ごしていると苦しかったです。もうひとサイズあげてもらえば良かったと…少し後悔。
誰か、船上にバナナを持ち込んでいたのかしら？
次回も、チャレンジして見ます。

One The best tours on our trip and we would definitely do it again and we would recommend anyone to do it. The drivers knowledge was top notch and frequently stopped to point things out to us it was fabulous!!!

The tour staff were very helpful in setting up the parasols. The kids were extremely excited. There are so many types of water slides that even parents can enjoy. For some reason, iced coffee was not available for sale.

ツアーの方が丁寧にパラソルの設定など協力してくださいました。子どもは、大興奮でした。とにかくウオータースライダーの種類が多く、親も楽しめます。食事は、なぜかアイスコーヒーが販売されていませんでした。

we had an awesome time snorkeling. we love the pictures you took of us. what a nice touch and rememberance. would definitely go snorl
keling with you again.

The initial itinerary mentioned, "You can enjoy snorkeling and experiential learning, and see the fish living in Hawaii's coral reefs!" However, there was absolutely no snorkeling involved. I had thought that I would be taught how to snorkel and see the coral reefs and fish before playing with the dolphins, so I was disappointed given the high price.

However, the trainer who explained everything was very nice and provided a fun explanation. Here are the details of what we did:

First, we received an explanation from the trainer about the precautions for playing with the dolphins and their characteristics. After that, we went to the beach and learned about sea turtle nesting. We were also taught about the types of marine mammals and fed lettuce to the sea turtles in the facility. Then, we were able to touch, kiss, and feed the dolphins.

While I was satisfied with the opportunity to play with the dolphins, I had expected snorkeling to be part of the experience. Therefore, I think it would be better not to include snorkeling in the itinerary details if that is not part of the activity.

当初の日程詳細では『シュノーケリングと体験学習、ハワイのサンゴ礁に住む魚たちを見ることができます！』とありましたが、シュノーケリングについては全くありませんでした。
私はシュノーケリングも教えてもらってサンゴ礁や魚を見たりしてからイルカと遊べるとのかと思っていたので、値段が高かっただけにがっかりしました。
しかし説明してくれた担当のトレーナーさんはとても良い方で楽しく説明してくれました。
私たちが行った事の詳細は。
まずトレーナーさんからイルカと遊ぶための注意点、イルカの特徴などの説明を受け、その後浜辺へ行き浜辺でウミガメの産卵について学びました。
そして海の哺乳類の種類について教えていただき、施設内にいるウミガメへレタスを餌付け。
そしてイルカを触ったり、キスしたり餌付けしたりできました。
イルカと遊べるという事だけなら満足ですが、シュノーケリングもあるものかと思っていたので、この内容なら日程詳細にシュノーケリングの記載はしない方がいいかと思います。

My first experience with parasailing was amazing. After arriving in the morning, I took part in the activity, and even though I had been sound asleep on the way to the departure port (about 10 minutes from the hotel), I was wide awake by the time they put on the equipment. I felt a bit anxious while waiting my turn, but once I was pulled up high into the sky, with Waikiki below me, I felt no fear at all and was completely moved by the experience. The guides also helped ease my tension a lot.

初体験のパラセーリング、朝到着してからのアクティビティで、出発の港(ホテルから１０分ほど・・・)迄、爆睡してたのに、装備を付ける頃か目はパッチリ、ちょっと不安で順番待ち、
でも、引っ張られて空高く上がると、ワイキキを眼下に、恐怖なんか微塵も感じず、感動しまくりでした。又、ガイドの人達が随分緊張をやわらげてくれました。

The facility was not as spacious as I had expected, and I didn't enjoy it much for the price.

First, the person who came to pick us up seemed to have a limited understanding of the booking details. We had requested a cabana as an option, but when we asked for confirmation, they told us to inquire on-site. Additionally, we weren't given detailed explanations; before getting on the bus, we were given colored tape for our wrists according to our course. However, our booked course was not mentioned, and the tape we received was a standard one that didn't indicate anything. Since we had unlimited soft drinks, we found it strange, but before entering the facility, we received a cabana reservation ticket from someone who seemed to be from the tour company, so we thought it would be fine to enter.

When lunchtime came, I looked for any signs indicating unlimited drinks but couldn't find any, and I couldn't locate anyone from the tour company. Eventually, about an hour before our departure, I found someone who seemed to be from the tour company and confirmed that we were on a course that didn't include anything. When I showed them a copy of the booking form, they finally acknowledged it was the company's mistake and changed the tape to a different color. However, even after they made it unlimited drinks, there was hardly any time left to enjoy it.

I wonder if there are people from the tour company stationed within the facility, and if so, where they are. I would like clearer signage. Also, it was difficult to distinguish between those who were simply working at the pool and those who were from the tour company; they all looked quite similar.

Considering all of this, it was quite an expensive tour. I don't think I will go again.

施設は思っていたより広くなく、料金の割にあまり楽しめなかった。
まず、お迎えに来た方が、申し込み内容をあまり理解していないようでした。
私たちは、カバナをオプションで申し込んでいたので、確認をしたがわからないので、
現地で聞いてくれと。また、詳しいことは説明されず、バスに乗る前にコーズごとに色分けされたテープを腕にまかれます。内容はバズの仲でコースごとに色分けの説明がテープでながれますが、私たちの申し込んだコースが案内されず、巻かれたテープは何もつかないスタンダードのものでした。私たちは、ソフトドリンク飲み放題でしたので変だなと思っておりましたが、施設に入場する前に、スアー会社らしき人からカバナの予約チケットをいただけたのでまずは良いかと、入場しました。
お昼になり、飲み放題の表示等がないか探したが見つからず、がツアー会社のひとも見当たらず結局帰る時間の1時間位前にツアー会社らしき人をみつけ確認したら、何もつかないコースになっているといわれ、申し込み用紙のコピーを見せて初めて会社のミスですとテープを別の色に巻き直してくれました。帰るマジかで飲み放題にしてもらってもほとんど飲む時間がありませんでした。
施設の仲に、ツアー会社の人が常駐しているのか、またいるのならどこに居るのか。表示を
きちんとしてほしです。また、単なるプールで働いている人なのか、ツアー会社のひとなのか
全く見分けがつかず、おぼしき人ばかりでした。

この事を含め、かなり高いツアーだったと。二回目はないとおもいます。

Nice day & nice organization from VELTRA on that one.
Good comments & knowledge, full day spent on the big island, nice spots and nice knowledge overall.

I made a last-minute reservation upon arriving in Hawaii, but the response was quick, and I was able to participate smoothly! The pick-up was also guided very politely, which was great. I joined the plan with unlimited soft drinks, and since it was quite hot, I was glad I chose that option. The pool facilities were very enjoyable, and there were attractions that you can't easily experience in Japan.

ハワイ現地に着いて急きょ予約しましたが、対応が早く、スムーズに参加できました！pick upも丁寧に案内してくれたので良かったです。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題のプランでさんかしましたが、かなり暑かったので飲み放題プランにして良かったです。プール施設内もとても楽しく日本ではなかなか体験できないアトラクションもありました。

The weather was nice, and I was looking forward to it, but for some reason, I couldn't see any dolphins. The staff seemed a bit disappointed too. However, all the staff were very kind, and since they spoke Japanese, I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.

I will try again next time! Thank you!

お天気も良く、期待していましたが、なぜかイルカにあえませんでした。
スタッフの方も少しがっかりしてたようです。
でも、スタッフの方は、みんなやさしく、日本語も通じたので
安心してツアーに参加できました。

次回またチャレンジします！
ありがとうございました

The day I participated was a bit windy, but the weather was nice, so the view was amazing! During the parasailing, time flew by, and I wished it could have lasted a little longer.

参加した日はちょっと風が強かったですが、お天気は良かったので眺めは最高でした♪♪パラセーリングをしてる間はあっという間だったのでもう少し長かったらなぁと思いました。

It was fun! It felt great! We are a couple with two children in the fourth grade. We jumped two at a time. The view was nice, and the height wasn't scary at all. The kids were very satisfied. The crew was also very accommodating and helped us with all the gear. They took a lot of photos with a digital SLR camera, and there are videos as well. It will be a wonderful memory. The pick-up and drop-off were on time. I'm glad we participated.

楽しかった〜。気持ち良かった〜。夫婦と小学校4年生の子供2人。2人ずつ飛びました。景色も良いし、高さも怖くありません。子供たちも大満足。船員さんの対応もよく、全て装着してくれました。デジタル一眼レフの写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。動画もあります。とても良い記念になります。送迎も時間正確。参加して良かったです。

I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Justin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. It was fun, interesting and I enjoyed all the stops we went to, especially sunset beach. I highly recommend this tour.

It ended up being surprisingly uneventful and not as scary as I had thought. The staff was friendly and spoke Japanese. However, I had a hard time finding the pickup vehicle. The name I was given was not written on the car, and I finally met the driver after contacting the tour company (which only spoke English). Tips are not included in the tour price, so you need to bring cash for that.

思っていたほど恐怖感なく意外とあっけなく終わってしまいました。スタッフは親切で日本語も通じました。ただ、ピックアップの車が見つけにくく苦労しました。聞いていた名前は車に書かれておらずツアー会社(英語のみ)に連絡をしてやっとお迎えのドライバーに会えました。チップはツアー代金に含まれていないのでそのぶん現金を持参する必要があります。

Since it was my first time, I went for 90 meters, which was high enough. But I might have been okay with going higher. In the end, I ended up with my butt in the sea, so it's better to participate in a swimsuit.

初めてだったんで90mにしましたが、充分高い。でももっと高くてもよかったかも。最後はお尻を海につけられてしまったので、水着で参加がいいですね。

Unlike diving, you can easily dive down to 30-40 meters and see the blue sea where sunlight doesn't reach. The sight of the submarine emerging from the ocean is breathtaking. The cruise is enjoyable and feels great, so I recommend it for families.

ダイビングと違って、気軽に30-40mまで潜れて、太陽に光の届かない青い海が見れました。潜水艦が海から飛び出してくるところは圧巻です。クルーズも楽しめて気持ちがいいので、家族連れにはおすすめです。

White sandy beaches, crystal-clear sea, welcoming turtles, and dolphins jumping next to the boat.
I was satisfied even before entering the water♪

The underwater world was beautiful, with sharks, turtles, and various fish.
I was very satisfied.

白い砂浜、透き通る海、出迎える亀、船の横でジャンプするイルカ
海にはいる前でも満足♪

海の中は綺麗で、サメや亀、いろんな魚がいました
大変満足

They were very considerate, and both the wallet and the service were gentle and comfortable.

However, the bus pickup was difficult as I wasn't called out, and the signs were hard to understand, making it challenging to find.

いろいろな配慮をしてくださり
お財布も対応も優しく快適でした

ただ、バスの迎えが声をかけてもらえず
印も分かりづらく探すのが大変でした

The instructor is kind of young but they are really enthusiastic.Indeed it is very helpful and my families do really have a goodddd time. I especially appreciate that cheerful attitude which make you feel comfortable for the whole surfing time.

Competent crew and very friendly. Website preparation is excellent.

Captain Dan and his first mate were professional, efficient and gracious. My 3 kids (17,15,12) and I had a great parasail experience with X-treme. We got every bit of airtime we paid for, and then some. I was thoroughly impressed with the Captain's dexterous maneuvering as he dipped us in and out of the ocean. The first mate got everyone clipped in and clipped out so smoothly that there was almost zero down time in between us parasailers.

On the day of the tour, we had a plan for the afternoon, and it was just my husband and me participating. Our guide was Chieko, a very friendly Japanese woman. She was quite experienced, and she seemed to know everyone at Hanauma Bay. It had been quite a challenge for us since we participated in a snorkeling tour in Saipan 30 years ago, but Chieko efficiently taught us the snorkeling techniques, so we felt comfortable joining in. She also took underwater photos and shared them with us. She guided us expertly to points where many fish were swimming. To our surprise, we even saw a turtle. It was an unforgettable and wonderful memory. I’m really glad we participated. Hanauma Bay is thoroughly protected, so the water is very clear and beautiful, and the fish are impressively large. They grow big because they are protected. We saw mongooses playing on the beach. With the life jackets, we floated safely, and by moving our fins, we could swim forward. All we had to do was breathe through our mouths instead of our noses. My husband and I confidently recommend this tour to everyone.

当日は午後からのプランで、参加者は私達夫婦だけでした。担当はchiekoさん。とっても気さくな、日本の方でした。相当なベテランの方で、ハナウマ湾の係りの方は皆、知り合いでした。私達はなにしろ、サイパンで３０年前にシュノーケルツアーに参加して以来のチャレンジですが、chiekoさんが手際よくシュノーケルの要領を教えてくれたので安心して参加出来ました。水中写真も撮っていただいてアップして下さいました。魚が沢山泳いでいるポイントを要領よく案内していただきました。なんと、亀も見れました。一生忘れられない素晴らしい思い出です。本当に参加して良かったです。ハナウマ湾は自然保護が徹底しているので、水はとっても透き通ってきれいですし、お魚さんのなんと大きいこと。迫力満点です。保護されているので、大きく育つそうです。海岸ではマングースが遊んでいました。ライフジャケットで体は浮いているので、安心ですし、足ヒレを動かせば前に進みます。後は鼻で息をしないで、口で呼吸すればいいだけです。私達夫婦はこのツアーを自信を持って皆さんに推薦します。

I have joined the Captain Bob snorkel since the first time I went to Hawaii. It was so consistent every time. And this time we have a group of 11 people going and everyone has a good time even though the sandbar water level is a little bit high but the whole crew working on the boat are so sincere which makes a big difference on the atmosphere of the activity. Excellent

I arranged for entrance tickets and cabana rental.
I drove to the location with a rental car.
The sunlight in July was strong, so having a cabana was great. There were several types of pools, suitable for everyone from babies to adults.
Outside food is not allowed, so I bought a pizza on-site. It costs about $25 for one, but it's large enough to share among several people.

入場券とカバナレンタルを手配。
現地まではレンタカーで行きました。
7月の日差しは強くカバナがあってよかったです。プールは何種類もあり、下は赤ちゃんから上は成人まで遊べるようになっていました。
食事は持ち込み禁止なので、現地でピザを購入。1枚$25ぐらいですが数人でシェアできる大きさです

The 3 guys did an excellent job going over safety an simple instructions in the classroom, on the beach the were patient and helpful. I was satisfied with the results!

We participated as a couple.
They provided transportation, and there are staff members who speak Japanese, so those who are worried about English can feel at ease!
The lessons are given with simple Japanese instructions, so there are no problems at all.
There are multiple opportunities to catch waves, so I believe anyone can learn to stand up!
Finally, we also received a group photo at the end.
We made wonderful memories.

カップルでの参加でした。
送迎も頂き、日本語を話せるスタッフもいるので英語で心配な方でも安心です！
レッスンも簡単な日本語で指示してもらえるので全く問題ありません。
何度も波に乗るチャンスがあるので誰でも立てるようになると思います！
最後にグループで1枚写真の入ったデータももらえますよ。
素敵ないい思い出ができました。

I tried it at 150m, but we were the only Japanese participants, and the guide mostly spoke English, which made me a bit anxious. However, once I took off, the situation changed completely! Not only could I enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky, but the beautiful ocean was truly "Blue Hawaii"!

150ｍでトライしたのですが、参加者で日本人が自分たちだけで、ガイドさんもほとんど英語しか話さないので少し不安な気持ちもありました。
しかし、いざ舞い上がると状況は一変！空からハワイの絶景を一望できるだけでなく、美しい海がまさしく「ブルーハワイ」でした！

When we booked our vacation, I knew this activity was the MUST DO of our time in Honolulu! It was awesome! Too bad I got motion sickness on the boat while we waited for other patrons to sail. If you're sensitive like me, take dramamine an hour before you sail. The staff was as accommodating as can be expected in the middle of the ocean! The photos captured are amazing and well worth the extra $30.

Fantastic experience with a first rate crew. Well worth the value for three hours of snorkeling, sea turtles, spinner dolphins, colorful fish, and great sailing. Crew put safety first and had fun with everyone on the boat. Would go back in a heartbeat! My nine year old says this was her best experience of the vacation!! Thanks to the Holokai crew!

It was well organized and everyone was very friendly. The singer Leilani was amazing she is a talented musician and told great stories. The food was better than expected. I would recommend to anyone.
