All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

From breathtaking Hanauma Bay to the Byodo Temple and Pali Lookout, this tour was captivating. Our driver/guide was excellent. Both of our tours by Enoa were outstanding. Pickups and tours were on time. Very reasonable fees! Highly recommend Ventura!

I participated in the morning session. I was picked up at the hotel. Most of the participants were honeymoon couples. Upon arriving at the port and heading to the sandbar by boat, we went turtle watching. There were so many sea turtles that I couldn't believe it!

After arriving at the sandbar, we took photos and went snorkeling. The sea was truly beautiful and mesmerizing. However, it was a bit cold since it was in the morning.

Afterward, we enjoyed sandwiches and snacks made by the tour guide on the boat. The light meal after coming out of the water tasted delicious. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:30. I was able to use my time meaningfully!

朝の部に参加しました。ホテルまで迎えにきてもらいました。参加者のほとんどがハネムーンのカップルでした。港に着いて船でサンドバーへ向かう途中、ウミガメウォッチング。こんなにたくさんいるのか！というほどたくさんのウミガメが見えました！
サンドバーに到着し、写真撮影やシュノーケリングをしました。海が本当に綺麗でうっとりしました。
ただ午前だったので少し寒かったです。
その後は船上で添乗員さんの作ってくれたサンドイッチとスナックをいただきました。海からあがったあとの軽食は美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたのは１１時半頃。有意義に時間が使えました！

I had an amazing experience! My friend, who is not good with heights, was also very moved. I definitely want to use this again when I come to Hawaii!

すごく良い経験をさせていただきました！
高いところが苦手な友人もとても感動していました。
またハワイに来る際にはぜひまた利用したいです！

We had a great time!

We participated as two couples in our late 40s. We joined with transportation, unlimited drinks, and a one-day pass.

We were picked up at the hotel and received explanations from a guide who was fluent in Japanese. After a few pickups, we arrived at the location in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. As we had been informed beforehand, a DVD explaining safety precautions in Japanese was playing in the car, and we had no trouble using the lockers.

When we headed to the attractions, I couldn't stand the heat of the ground barefoot, so I quickly returned to the locker to get my Crocs. Since you can't participate in the attractions while wearing sandals, I left them nearby (there were plenty of places to put them).

All the attractions were fun, but the slopes and stairs were quite tough. For the rubber boat, you have to carry it up yourself, so it's a chance for the men to show off.

I opted for the unlimited Surf Rider for an additional $5 (you can sign up at the information desk after entering). Personally, I found this to be the most enjoyable. It was my first time, and I was worried it might turn into a hilarious disaster like what I saw on TV with the Ungirls, but even a guy in his 40s could do it fairly normally—surprisingly easy? I recommend it.

My wife was really into the Shaka. It's a two-person attraction where you sit facing each other, so if you love thrill rides, you'll enjoy sitting in the back where you can see the ground.

いやー楽しかったぁ

40代後半の夫婦２カップルで参加しました。
送迎+ドリンク飲み放題+１日パスで参加しました。

ホテルでピックアップしてもらい日本語の達者なガイドさんから説明を受け、数カ所のピックアップをへてワイキキから30程度で現地に到着しました。事前の話で聞いていた通り車内では日本語の注意事項の説明DVDが流れ、ロッカーの使い方も迷わずできました。

いざアトラクションに向うも裸足で行ったらあまりの地面の暑さに耐えられず、ロッカーにクロックスを取りにすぐ戻りました。アトラクションはサンダルを履いたままではできないので、アトラクションの近くで脱いで置いときました。（いっぱい置いてありました）

どのアトラクションも面白いのですが、坂道と階段が結構きついです。ゴムボートはセルフで上まで運ぶので男性はいい所を見せるチャンスです。

+５ドルでサーフライダー一日乗り放題にしました。（インフォメーションで受け付けしてるので入場してから自分で申し込みます）自分としてはこれが一番面白かった。まったくの初めてで、以前テレビでアンガールズがやってたようにハプニング映像になるのかなぁとやる前は不安でしたが、40過ぎのおじさんでもわりとフツーにというか、以外に簡単？おススメです。

嫁さんはシャカにはまってました。二人乗りで向かい合って座るタイプのアトラクションなので絶叫系が好きな人は下が見える後ろに乗ったほうがより一層楽しめます。

There are people who can speak Japanese, so the procedures can be done smoothly. The lessons are in English, but the explanations using physical demonstrations make it easy to understand.

日本語を話せる方もいて手続き等はスムーズにできます。レッスンは英語ですが、体を使っての説明なのでわかりやすいです。

A few weeks ago, I made a reservation here and participated in the activity. The shuttle bus arrived right on time in front of our hotel. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were only four of us, including ourselves. The two women we were with mentioned that they would be returning to their home country a few hours later, and they were advised to be careful not to drop anything in the sea. It was great that the staff confirmed this with everyone.

After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat, and while we were swaying with the waves, we put on life jackets. I think it would be smoother if you change into clothes that you don't mind getting wet before this point. All luggage is stored under the boat seats. We brought a digital camera and had a smartphone in a waterproof case hanging around our necks, ready to go.

Before taking off, I entrusted the digital camera to the two women we were with, and they took photos while we were flying. I’m not sure if this is why, but there were no sales of the photo data mentioned in other reviews.

The boat's swaying (which was probably intentional, haha) was fine, but I got really seasick while flying, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication in advance.

The view while flying was as wonderful as others have said. The two women we were with were very kind and gentle, and all the staff were cheerful and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time.

数週間前にこちらで予約し、参加してきました。
宿泊先のホテル前に時間ぴったりに送迎バスが到着。朝早い時間だったからか自分達を含め合計4人だけでした。
一緒だったお二人の女性は、数時間後には帰国されるとのことで、海に落とさないようにお伝えされていました。スタッフさんが全員に確認されていたのが良かったです。
港に着いてしばらくしてからボートに乗り、波に揺られて移動している間に、救命胴衣などが装着されていきました。この時までに濡れて困る服などの着替えを済ませておくとスムーズに進むと思います。荷物は全てボート座席下に収納します。自分達はデジカメを持ち、防水ケースに入れたスマホを首にかけてスタンバイ。
飛ぶ前に、一緒だったお二人にデジカメを託し、飛んでいる間の写真を撮って頂きました。そのためかどうかわかりませんが、他の方の口コミにかかれている撮影データの販売はありませんでした。
ボートの揺れ(恐らく敢えて揺らされています笑)は大丈夫でしたが、飛んでいる間に酷く酔いましたので、酔いやすい方は予め酔いどめを飲んでおく方が良いと思います。
飛んでいるときの景色は他の方も仰っているようにすばらしかったです。一緒だったお二人はとても親切で優しく、スタッフの方は皆さん明るく親切でとても楽しい時間になりました。

The sandbar had beautiful weather, and I was able to take stunning photos. The snorkeling was satisfying with plenty of fish. I swam for the entire time, so much so that my legs hurt the next day; I was completely absorbed in it.

サンドバーは、お天気に恵まれ綺麗な写真がとれました。
シュノーケルは、魚が沢山いて満足。
時間いっぱい泳いだので、次の日は足が痛んだほど、夢中になれました。

I thought it would be a lot scarier than it was, but parasailing was actually quite relaxing! I went tandem with the friend on the 1,000-ft line and boy do you go high up! Looking at Waikiki, it seemed like we were higher than all the skyscrapers.

The crew was really awesome, too, cracking jokes to make us feel more at ease. You can choose how wet you want to get, and we chose to get dipped up to our necks. I was pretty impressed with how well they were able to handle the boat and the sail, as you can also choose to have a completely-dry landing.

This is an experience I recommend to everyone, and the guys at Hawaiian Parasail definitely earned their tip!

We got there early, so we were able to ride most of the slides before it got crowded. The Shaka is my favorite, with the Waianae Whirl as a far second. If you haven't been there in a while (like me), the Shaka is now a 1-person ride instead of a 2-person as it was before. Convenient, since there was 3 of us.

If you haven't been there before, you aren't allowed to bring any food or drinks into the park. They check bags at the entrance, and I had to empty my water bottle since it wasn't sealed (it was just tap water, so no worries). Sunscreen is a must, as you'll be in the sun pretty much the whole time. Pro-tip: bring reefwalkers/water shoes! Slippers aren't allowed on the rides (for obvious reasons), so having reefwalkers will ensure you won't have to walk around on the hot, grippy ground of the park.

All in all, it's a fun way to spend the day and I'm glad I went!

The time spent diving was somewhat long, but the content was poor. The experience was quite lacking. First of all, there was no algae at all, not even a fragment. The diving location was just moving back and forth among artificial reefs, and there were only a few small fish and occasionally some larger ones. The only lively one in there was the guide (who was overacting). They should prioritize increasing the fish population first. It seems that feeding them might not be possible, but there should be some method available.

潜水している時間は、多少長かったが内容は、お粗末である。
あまりにも内容が寂しい。まず、藻が全く無いし欠片さえ見えない。
潜水している場所も、人工の岩礁の中を行き来しているだけで
岩礁の中には大きな魚がたまにと、小さな魚が少しいるだけである。
中で元気なのは、案内している親父さんだけである。（演技し過ぎ）
まずは、魚を増やす事を最優先で考えるべきである。
餌付けなどは、出来ないのではと思えるが、何か方法が有ると思われる。

The driver was knowledgeable - talkative - kind - and on time..
the whole experience was great

An absolute must do. My wife did not want to go in, but through the reassurance of the guys she did and was happy she did. The crew was great. At first there is lots of anxiety and then it lessens. Swimming with those majestic animals is beyond words. It must be experience. Again thanks guys

Was a great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and was very entertaining. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend.

Before we started, I was wondering if we would be pulled from the sea or if we would just drop into the water! I was really nervous, but as the boat picked up speed, we smoothly lifted off from the deck. The weather was great, and the view from the sky was amazing—it was the best experience. It seems that up to three people can go together, so it was perfect that my family of three could enjoy it together.

始める前は、海の中から引っ張られるのかな？とか、降りる時は海にドボン！なのかな？とか、ドキドキでしたが、船がスピードを上げたかと思うと、船のデッキからスーッと浮かび上がりました。天気も良かったので、空からの眺めが素晴らしく、最高でした。３人まで一緒にできるみたいで、ちょうど家族３人で一緒にできて良かったです。

I found out that I could go parasailing right near the Hilton where I was staying, so I made a last-minute reservation. The access was great, and there was a discount plan, making it a worthwhile experience. The local instructor took lots of photos while we were parasailing, which made for wonderful memories.

宿泊していたヒルトンのすぐ近くでパラセイリングが出来ると知って急きょ予約しました。
アクセスが良く、割引プランもあってお得な体験でした。現地インストラクターさんがパラセイリング中の写真をいっぱい撮ってくれたので良い思い出になりました。

This time, I signed up for a short course that included a light meal (sandwich and tea). I was excited from before arriving at the port, guided by the cheerful and energetic staff. They even helped us look for cute sea turtles while cruising... During the sandbar snorkeling, many staff members were there to watch over us properly... The ocean is truly beautiful. It might be a bit pricey since it's a place you can't visit on your own. The sandbar is natural, so depending on the time, it can be deep (laughs). However, it was a fun and reassuring tour that offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to Waikiki. Thank you very much.

今回は軽食付（サンドイッチと紅茶）の短いコースを申し込みました。
元気のいい明るいスタッフに案内されて港到着前からわくわくです。
クルーズしながらかわいいウミガメも探してくれて・・・
サンドバー・シュノーケリング時も多くのスタッフがきちんと見守ってくれて・・・
やっぱり海が美しいです。
個人で行けない場所なので少しお値段は高めかもしれません。
サンドバーは自然のものなので時間帯によっては深いです（笑）
でもワイキキとは違う楽しみ方が出来る安心の楽しいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

Emily was an excellent tour guide! Me and my 2 adult sons went on this activity and had a great time. We would definitely do it again. Thank you Emily for being an awesome tour guide.

Three years ago, I participated in Dolphin Junior High, and this time I joined Dolphin University. We encountered dolphins right after departing, and later we got incredibly close to dolphins and sea turtles, which was thrilling! We even took a two-shot photo with a sea turtle, making it the best day ever. I'm going to work hard and save money so I can definitely come back to Hawaii in two years!!!

3年前にイルカ中学に参加して今回は、イルカ大学に参加しました。出港してすぐにイルカと遭遇してその後もイルカ・ウミガメに大接近して手が届くような場面に大興奮です。ウミガメとの２ショット写真も撮っていただき最高の１日でした。２年後にまた参加できるように仕事を頑張って貯金して絶対にハワイに来るぞー！！！

Great tour with Cousin Fred, our driver-guide. He gave great tips on navigating the USS Arizona memorial. Downtown tour was happy Guly informative. Shuttle coach was comfortable but there were bumpy roads.

This was amazing, loved the top floor with the nice ocean breeze. I will definitely be doing this again when I come back!!

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.

My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.

If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

Two years ago, I had a disappointing experience due to the worst weather when I participated. This time, I made sure to check the low tide. Now, all I needed was good weather!

When I left Japan, there was a rain forecast for Kaneohe, so I hesitated to cancel, but I decided to go for it and headed to Hawaii without canceling. By the time I arrived in Hawaii, the weather in Kaneohe had cleared up! I thought maybe this could turn out well as I boarded the bus and set off.

The water level was higher than I expected, but I was blessed with clear skies and was able to have my revenge. Since it was my second time, I didn't snorkel and just took a lot of photos. The water was so clear that I was able to see several sea turtles, and I was able to make my wishes. I highly recommend going when the water level is low.

2年前に参加した際に、最悪の天気で残念な思いをしました。今回もしっかりと干潮を調べていきました。あとは天気だけ！！
日本を出発する際に、カネオヘは雨予報だったのでキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、一か八かキャンセルせずにハワイへ出発。ハワイに着いた時にはカネオヘの天気が晴れになっていました！もしかしてこれは期待できるかもしれないと思いながらバスに乗り込み出発。
思っていたよりも水位は高かったけど、晴天に恵まれてリベンジが出来ましたー。2回目だったのでシュノーケルはせずに、写真ばっかり撮っていました。
水がキレイなのでウミガメちゃんも何頭も見ることができて、しっかり願い事をすることもできました。水位が低い時には是非オススメです。

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.

夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦！渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで　ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない　口呼吸だけです」の言葉に　鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく　1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海　可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々　良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道？　お魚さんに会える道？なんでしょうか　ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる　寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは　夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた　休憩ほしかったといってました。

The Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise was the best I have ever experienced! Food was excellent and rates a 10!!! The service was top notch with the servers offering to do anything to make our trip pleasant and fun. The entertainment was more than expected and with the audience participation it made the evening so enjoyable. I would take my whole family next time!

I'm not good with thrill rides, but I had no problem with parasailing. The view of the Hawaiian sea from above was beautiful and felt great. I did get a little rain when we were up there, but that also became a nice memory. I asked another crew member to take photos for me from below, but there were also people who brought their cameras up with them. If I have the chance again, I would like to try it at 150 meters next time.

私は絶叫系が苦手ですが、パラセイリングは問題なくできました。
上から見るハワイの海はとても綺麗で、気持ちよかったです。
上に上がった時に少々雨に打たれましたが、それもまたいい思い出になりました。
私はカメラは他のクルーにお願いして下から撮ってもらいましたが、カメラも持って上に上がっていく方たちもいました。
また機会があれば、今度は150ｍで挑戦してみたいです。

this tour is not for the faint of heart, The road lives up to its' reputation! It is a bit long but worth every minute. The guide was knowledgeable and an excellent driver. The lunch provided was not very good and we recommended that be changed in the near future.

This tour of the Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor was the best.
Our driver Ed was so knowledgeable and nice. The tour was awesome and very touching..
Every American should come and visit the memorial when in Honolulu.

As soon as we headed out to sea, the dolphins appeared!! They were swimming right next to us! Everyone jumped in one by one, and the staff worked hard to guide us to where the dolphins were☆

Then, right in front of us and just below, there were dolphins!! Seeing the dolphins up close, their eyes weren't wide open but half-closed (laughs), and it felt like they understood something, which was a bit thrilling (laughs).

The hamburgers, snacks, and juice on the boat weren't anything particularly fancy, but they were delicious♡

Chinatsu, the kind and straightforward staff member, truly loves dolphins and made a great effort to convey their charm, which impressed me!

The dolphin tour with the gentle captain and cheerful staff was the best time☆ Thank you so much♡

By the way, in February, while there was some sunshine, it was still a bit chilly, so I had a hand warmer in my hoodie pocket.

Also, I recommend taking motion sickness medication early to prevent seasickness~

For those who will be participating, please enjoy it♡

海へ出てすぐイルカ先生登場！！
すぐ横泳いでる！みんな飛び込め〜〜と順番に海に入りスタッフさんが一生懸命イルカのいる場所へ誘導してくれます☆

するとすぐ目の前や真下にイルカが！！
間近で見るイルカの目はクリクリじゃなくて、半開き（笑）で何か悟られたようでドキっとしました（笑）

船でのハンバーガーやお菓子、ジュースは特別高価なものじゃないけど美味しいです♡

優しく姉御肌でサバサバしたスタッフのチナツさんは本当にイルカが大好きで一生懸命イルカの良さを伝えようとしてくれたお姿に感銘を受けました！

そして優しい船長や陽気なスタッフの皆さんとのイルカツアーは最高の時間でした☆
本当にありがとうございました♡

ちなみに、2月は日差しはあるとのの、まだ肌寒くパーカーのポケットにカイロを入れて羽織ってました(>_<)

あと船酔い防止の為早めに酔い止めを飲むのがオススメですよ〜

これから参加する方ぜひ楽しんで来てください♡

Really enjoyed our time aboard.♡♡♡☆☆☆ You will enjoy#

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.

Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.

We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.

There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.

However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.

The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.

The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.

集合場所が分かりづらくって１０分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
９時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。２匹が息継ぎのために１０人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて３０分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。
