All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It was a perfect day and a great ride. I wish we would have booked a longer ride and gone as a solo rider instead of tandem. My other half is a bit more reserved than I and when she was driving it felt like a Sunday drive :( However, when I drove it was like a roller coaster ride!

We went as a couple! There were couples and families there. A boy around 10 years old was flying with his parents and looked like he was having a great time☆
We were also super excited, and when we dipped our feet in the water, they splashed us with water, maybe as a service!･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+
We were the only ones who did the 150 meters, but everyone said, "I should have done the 150 meters!" It was totally fine even for first-timers (о´∀`о)

夫婦で行きました！カップルとファミリーがいました。10歳くらいの男の子が両親と飛んでてとても楽しそうでした☆
私達もテンションMAXで、水辺に足を付けるタイミングで足をバタつかせてたら、サービスでなのか思いっきり水チャポをさせてくれました･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+
私達だけが150メートルでしたが、みんな『150メートルにすればよかった』と言っていました！初めてでも全然大丈夫でした(о´∀`о)

I was able to see whales about four times, and it was really exciting!

However, since the captain's greetings and everything were in English, I was quite nervous (laughs). I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I could properly understand English. The food seemed delicious, but I couldn't handle the smell, so I couldn't participate in the cultural experience (^^;;)

クジラは4回くらい見ることができて、すごく盛り上がりました！

が、船長さんの挨拶や諸々が全て英語だったので、、結構緊張しました（笑）
ちゃんと英語がヒアリングできたらもっと楽しかっただろうなと思いました。
ご飯は美味しかったみたいですが、私は匂いがダメで・・文化体験も萎縮してしまって参加できませんでした(^^;;)

On February 19, 2017, I went parasailing. During this time of year in Hawaii, it was the rainy season, and it was colder than I expected. The weather was unstable, with rain and sunshine alternating throughout the day, creating a whirlwind of weather conditions.

I was worried that the activity might get canceled due to the strong winds and somewhat rough seas, but they came to pick me up in front of the hotel right on time.

All the instructions were in English (which is to be expected), and they spoke incredibly quickly. The only things I understood were that I could get photos taken for $30 and that they would appreciate tips if possible.

As long as I understood that, there were no major issues. They helped me with all the equipment, and they communicated what to do through gestures.

Since it was my first time parasailing, it was both fun and a bit scary, especially when being carried by the wind. Overall, I was satisfied with the activity, but I wish I had done it during a warmer time.

2017.2.19パラセーリングをしました。この時期のハワイは雨季で、予想以上に寒かったし、天気も安定しないのか、この日は降ったり止んだり晴れたりと、目まぐるしい天気でした。
風が強く、まあまあ海も荒れていたので、キャンセルになっちゃうんじゃないかと心配してましたが、ホテル前に時間前にお迎えにきてもらえました。
説明の全てが英語で(当たり前ですが)、しかもめちゃくちゃ早口(^^;)すこーしだけ理解できたのは、30ドルで写真を撮ってもらえるという事と、出来ればチップ下さい〜ということだけ。
これさえ理解できれば特に問題ありませんでした。器具は全て付けてもらえ、ジェスチャーでどうすればいいか伝えて貰えたので。
パラセーリング自体は、私自身初めての体験だったので、楽しくて怖かったです(笑)風に流される時が特にです(^^;)
全体の感想としては、アクティビティ自体は満足ですが、もっと暖かい時期にしたかったです。

Excellent professional instruction for true beginner.Great guide in the water. We saw tons of fish. Lucky enough to have seen a sea turtle in early March. So glad I rented a wet suit.

I signed up on-site at the last minute, but I received a confirmation email right away, which made it easy to plan. The crew was very lively, engaging with everyone and checking to see if everyone was having fun, which I thought was impressive. I felt motivated to participate again.

現地で急遽申し込んだのですが、すぐに予約確定のメールも届き、予定が立てやすかったです。
クルーの方々のノリもよく、全員に声をかけ、みなが楽しんでるか確認しながら進めていたので凄いなーと思って見ていました。
また、参加したいと思えました。

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. I visited in early March, and the weather was nice and not cold, so a bikini was enough to walk around outside. Without beach sandals, the ground gets too hot to walk on (when riding attractions, many people often leave their sandals in lockers and walk around barefoot). Also, be careful as you can get quite sunburned if you don't apply sunscreen.

There are no baskets or shelves in the changing rooms, so you'll have to place your bag on the wet floor. If you're concerned about this, it's better to bring something that you don't mind getting dirty.

I followed the advice I found here and didn't take a lunch break, just kept riding attractions. I returned to the hotel around 4 PM, so I could manage a bit of hunger. The park feels a bit compact, but after going around and finding my favorite attractions, I could ride the same ones multiple times since it wasn't too crowded (I went on a Sunday), so I think you can have a lot of fun. There was a smoking area and a bar serving alcohol in the center of the park. It might be a matter of appearance, but you didn't need a passport to buy alcohol. Draft beer was $7-8, and a berry cocktail that looked like shaved ice was $9 (I ordered the same thing as someone else who had it, and it was delicious!). I think it's also good to leave a tip.

If you're unsure whether to go or not, I think you should definitely go!

モニターでウェットアンドワイルドハワイに行きました。
3月上旬に行きましたが天気が良く寒くありませんでした、ビキニだけで十分外を歩き回れます。ビーチサンダルがないと地面が熱く歩けないくらいです（アトラクションに乗るときはサンダルを脱ぐので、サンダルをロッカーに預けて裸足で動き回る方もしばしばいます）また、日焼け止めを塗らないとかなり焼けるので注意が必要です。
更衣室にはカゴや棚が無いので、濡れた床にバックを置くことになります。気になる方は汚れても良いものを持ってった方が良いでしょう。
私もここにあったアドバイスのように昼食は取らずにらずっとアトラクションに乗っていました。ホテルに戻るのも16時くらいなので、多少の空腹も我慢できる感じです。パークは少しこじんまりした印象ですが、ひと通りを回って自分の好きなアトラクションを見つけて、それからは何回も同じものを乗ることができるくらいの混みようなので（日曜日に行きました）、結構楽しめると思います。喫煙所とお酒が飲めるバーがパークの中央にありました。 見た目もあると思いますが、お酒を買うときはパスポートは不要でした。生ビールは7-8ドル、かき氷風？のベリーのカクテルは9ドルでした。（他に頼んでる人がいて、同じものを頼みました。美味しかったです！）チップも払うと良いと思います。
行くか行かないかを迷っている方は、行った方がいいと思います！

The rain and wind were strong, and unfortunately, the weather was not good. The captain announced that a whale had been spotted, but I couldn't see it at all. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done.

雨風共に強く、あいにくのお天気でした。キャプテンはクジラを発見したと放送がありましたが、まったくわかりませんでした。仕方ありませんが残念でした。

This has been on our bucket list for years. We had an amazing time. Crew were friendly and professional and we felt completely safe. Would fo it again!!

My 15 year old son and I had a wonderful sail and snorkel trip. The 3 person crew took great care of us and we got to see turtles, fish and whales. Very thankful for the cruise. Highly recommend them.

It seems that it was the rainy season, and the weather wasn't very good, which contributed to a less than satisfactory experience... When I saw it on TV, I thought it might feel like standing in the ocean, but when I got off the boat, I was submerged up to my chest in cold water, which was surprising and uncomfortable... If the weather had been better, it might have been more exciting... Perhaps the morning timing wasn't ideal either? The light snacks provided were just ham and cheese sandwiches and tortilla chips, which was a bit disappointing. Well, I wasn't expecting much in that regard, but still... During the sea turtle watching, I felt like I was peeking through gaps from behind everyone else, and I didn't even get to take any photos. It was disappointing, especially since I had high expectations.

時季的に雨季にあたるようで、お天気があまり良くなかった所為もあり、いまいちでした…テレビで見た時は、海の中に立っている気分なのかなという気がしてましたが、船から降りる時は胸まで水に浸かって、冷たいやら、ビックリで…お天気が良かったら、もう少し盛り上がったかも……時間帯も朝だったから良くなかったのかな？付いている軽食も、ハムとチーズだけのサンドウィッチとトルティーヤチップスだけで、えーって感じでした。まぁ、そこはそんなに期待していたワケではないですが…ウミガメウォッチングも、みんなの後ろから隙間を覗くようで、写真を撮るところまでいきませんでした。期待が大きかった分、残念でした。

I planned a trip to Hawaii during this season because I wanted to see whales. Believing that we would meet them, eight of us joined this option! We set off with excitement. However, the result was… disappointing. But still, I was gazing at the vast ocean the whole time on board, and it was a very pleasant cruise. We were lucky to have good weather. On the ship, my companion tried making a lei and got a lovely hair accessory. During lunch, while waiting in line, one of my companions got seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. We could also see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, making it a fun cruise. Thank you to the crew!

クジラさんが見たくて、この時期にハワイへ行く計画を立てました。クジラに会えると信じて、8名でこのオプションに参加！ルンルンで出発です。でも、結果は…残念でした。でもでも、私は乗船中、ずっと大海原を眺めていたのですが、とても気持ちの良いクルーズができました。天気に恵まれたのはラッキーでした。船内では、ツレがレイ作りに挑戦し、素敵な髪飾りをゲットしていました。ランチは順番を立って待っている時、船酔いしたツレもいたので、酔い止めをお勧めします。ワイキキのホテル群も海側から見られ、楽しいクルーズになりました。クルーさんたち、ありがとうございました。

The staff was great. If you get tired of kayaking they can tow you in. We snorkeled along some rocks. We saw a turtle and fish. It was nice to get out of Waikiki. The lunch was great too. One of the guides took pictures then shared them with us.

I would do this tour again.

We enjoyed this cruise. There are activities besides whale watching (lei making, ukulele lessons and hula lessons). We saw whales and dolphins. This is great for all ages.

The crew was helpful. There were 7 large sea turtles out waiting to greet us. One of the crew members was in the water with us to keep us safe. We had a great time.

The greeter was right on time. She had a sign with my name, a chocolate and an informative sheet. It was more than I expected. I would recommend this company to others.

On February 25th, I participated with my 6-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and it was cloudy, so we couldn't see the blue ocean. The sandbar was about knee-deep for adults. We were able to encounter a few sea turtles. As for snorkeling... well, it was a bit disappointing with the overcast sky. However, we did see a few fish. My daughter struggled a bit during her first snorkeling experience. The BBQ hamburger we had on the boat was really delicious. I would love to participate again on a sunny day!!

Lastly, I want to thank a wonderful staff member named Yukiko, who took great care of my daughter. Thank you very much!

2月25日に、6歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
あいにくお天気が悪く、曇り空だったので青い海は見れませんでした。
サンドバーは、大人の膝上くらいの深さでした。
ウミガメは、数匹出会う事ができました。
シュノーケルは…やっぱりどんより曇り空では…。でも数匹のお魚は見る事ができました。
娘は、初シュノーケルでちょっと苦戦しました。
船の上でたべるBBQハンバーガーは、とってもおいしかったです。
晴天の日に、もう一度参加したいです！！

最後になりましたが、ユキコさんというステキなスタッフの方に、娘を色々と気にかけて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

We boarded a boat from the port and arrived at the sandbar after about 30 minutes! From above, the white area is the sandbar, so we were told that it was shallow enough to stand comfortably, and I finally understood what it was like when I saw it. I thought it looked beautiful from the photos and made a reservation, but I didn't expect it to be out in the ocean. Combined with the mysterious atmosphere, it was an even more wonderful place than I imagined! The barbecue lunch on the boat was delicious, and it was fun to see coral and manta rays.

港から船に乗り沖に出て30分位でサンドバーに付きました！上から見て白い所がサンドバー(砂洲)なので足が充分に付き浅いですよと説明を聞き、見て初めてどんなものか理解出来ました^_^;
写真を見て綺麗な所だなぁと思い予約しましたが、沖にあるとは思っていなくて、不思議な雰囲気とも相まって、想像以上に素敵な場所でした！船上の
バーベキューランチも美味しく、珊瑚やマンタも見れて楽しかったです。

I experienced this with my family of four. We dove to a depth of about 30 meters, and it felt like a different world down there. I was amazed at how the fish moved... The cruise to the submarine, which took about 10 minutes, was also pleasant. However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. On the day we went, there were some waves, so our family took motion sickness medication in advance to prepare.

私は、家族4人で体験しました。水深30m程まで潜水しますが、そこはもう別世界。魚は、こんな動きをしていたのかと感心…潜水艦まで10分程のクルーズも気持ち良かったです。ただ、船酔いに弱い方は、要注意。当日私達家族は、少し波立っていたので事前に酔い止め飲んで準備しました。

If I had known the shuttle bus route, I wouldn't have used it. I can't believe it took an hour...

The air conditioning was too strong, and I got cold.

The breakfast was so bad and disappointing that I was speechless...

In bad weather, I strained my eyes on the deck for an hour, but the whales didn't show up; all I could see were small boats...

The worst part was that someone who got seasick had vomited, and it was left unattended for a long time...

I woke up early to go, but...

I would have been better off sleeping at the hotel. It was disappointing...

送迎バスのルートを知っていたら使いませんでした。まさか1時間もかかるとは、、
クーラーの効きすぎで身体が冷えました。

朝食もまずくてショボすぎて絶句…

悪天候の中デッキで目を凝らすこと1時間、、くじらはあらわれず、見えるのは小型ボートのみ、、

最悪なのは船酔いされた方が嘔吐したものが長時間放置されていたこと、、

せっかく早起きして行ったのに・・

これならホテルで寝てれば良かったです。残念でした、、

I wasn't very lucky, so I thought there was a 1 in 10 chance that I might not see any dolphins...!

However, about 20 minutes after boarding the boat, I saw a whale diving into the sea, its tail clearly visible! After that, I also spotted a mother and baby whale swimming in another area.

Seeing so many whales was quite lucky, and just as I was thinking that, I discovered dolphins! After getting my gear ready and jumping into the water, dozens of dolphins swam right in front of me! The water was murky that day, so I couldn't see them from below, but they passed by in groups multiple times, which made me very satisfied☆

Next time I come, I hope the water is clear enough to see the dolphins underwater!

あまり運が良い方ではないので、もしかしたらイルカに会えない1/10の確率を引いてしまうかも…！と思っていました。

ですが船に乗って20分すぎた頃、クジラが海に潜っていくのがしっぽまでバッチリ見えました！その後は別の場所でクジラの親子が泳いでいるのも見えました。

クジラをこんなに見られるのはかなりラッキーという事で、幸先良いな〜と思っていた所、イルカ発見！
装備を揃え海に飛び込むと、数十頭のイルカちゃんが目の前を泳いで行きました！
水が濁っている日だったので海中からは見えませんでしたが、その分何度も何度も近くを群れで通り過ぎてくれたので、大満足でした☆

次来る時は、水が澄んでいてイルカを水中から見られるといいなあ！

I was relieved to see that there were Japanese cast members and all the tour participants were Japanese! I misunderstood the windbreaker listed in the items as a raincoat and didn't bring it, later regretting that it would have been good as a layer to keep warm. However, the weather was nice and warm, so I was able to withstand the wind on the boat! The dolphins came by 2 or 3 times, and I was able to swim with them♡ I wanted to go see them again after the break.

日本人キャストさんがいてツアー参加者も全て日本人で安心しました！持ち物に書いてあるウインドブレーカーは雨よけと勘違いして持っていかなかったら寒さ防止の羽織りでよかったのを後から知って持っていかなかったことに後悔しましたが天気もよく暖かかったので船風には耐えられました！イルカは2.3度来てくれて一緒に泳げました♡休憩したあともう一度会いに行きたかったです。

Will, CJ and the staff were awesome. Highly recommend HH

My wife and I had a very nice time on the cruise. We decided to do the stake and all you can eat crab legs. The food was good and our waiter was very funny. The only thing we didn't like too much was the crowdedness. My wife is claustrophobic, so she didn't like that the tables were very close together. Other then that being our one complaint, this is a cruise worth doing. The sunset is beautiful!

Was awesome! Will most likely do this again for the 3rd time :) crab dinner was unlimited was nice

Knowledgable, competent instructors. They were very kind to my wife, as this was her first time to surf.

I was wondering if there would be many people participating in the tour, but there were actually quite a few (mostly young people).

Upon arrival, there was a simple baggage check before entering. The line for entry was a bit chaotic, and I wasn't sure where to stand, but we were able to get in without much confusion.

Once inside, the first thing to do is to store your belongings in a locker. To elaborate on the lockers, you pay for the locker fee in advance at the machine shown in the first image. The large locker costs $18, and the small one costs $13 (as seen in the second image). We used a small locker for the two of us. We managed to enter with just the essentials. You can pay with cash or credit card, and you will receive change. After payment, a paper with your locker number is issued, and you can use that locker. You can open and close it as many times as you need.

The pool itself wasn't crowded, so most attractions had little to no wait time. It was fun, but when it got a bit cloudy, the strong wind made it quite cold. A cover-up is a must!

Among the attractions, the wave pool was surprisingly enjoyable. There are also plenty of slides, so I think kids would love it too.

I highly recommend that everyone give it a try at least once. You can enjoy a different experience compared to the beaches in Waikiki!

ツアーに参加する人はいるのかなと思っていましたが、思いのほか人数が多かったです。（若い子ばかり）
現地に到着すると、入場前に簡単な手荷物検査がありました。入場待ちの列がアバウト過ぎてどこに並べばいいかわかりませんでしたが、たいした混乱もなく入場できました。
入るとまずロッカーに荷物を預けます。ロッカーについて少し詳しく述べると、画像1枚目の機械で先にロッカーの代金を支払います。大が18ドル、小が13ドル（画像2枚目）です。わが家は夫婦2名分で小を利用しました。最低限の荷物でなんとか入りました。代金は現金でもクレジットカードでも大丈夫です。おつりもでます。支払いが終わるとロッカー番号が指定された紙が出てくるので、そのロッカーを使用します。開け閉めは何回でもできます。
プール自体は混んでいなかったので、ほとんどのアトラクションが待ち時間もあまりなく利用できました。楽しかったですが、少し曇ると風が強いせいか極寒でした。はおるものは必須です！
アトラクションの中では波が起こるプールが意外とおもしろかったです。スライダー系もたくさんあるのでお子さんも喜ぶと思います。
みなさんもぜひ一度行かれてみてはどうでしょうか。ワイキキの海とは違った楽しみ方ができますよ！

In February, known as the rainy season, I participated in my first whale watching cruise. After doing some research, I found that larger boats tend to sway less, which is reassuring for those prone to seasickness, so I signed up for this one. Since I am prone to motion sickness, I made sure to have a hearty breakfast before boarding, opting for a simple plan without breakfast.

On the day of the cruise, there was an unexpected heavy rain that surprised even the locals, but since there was no cancellation notice, we headed to the meeting point. However, after being taken to the port by bus, the tour guide strangely walked at the back of the line, leaving those of us at the front unsure of where to go in the rain. Once on board, no one provided any guidance (or any explanation at all), which led to people mistakenly going to the wrong deck or stopping confused near the entrance. Even after entering the ship, breakfast began without any proper explanation, so those on the no-breakfast plan were probably eating on their own.

I felt a bit nauseous from the smell of food around me, so I went out to the deck to look at the sea as soon as we set sail. Just listening to the announcements from the naturalist was enjoyable. The sea was quite rough with whitecaps, and even when the captain and naturalist announced they spotted a whale, it was honestly difficult for amateurs like us to see. If the weather had been clear and the sea calm, it might have been easier to spot them. It was disappointing, but since the weather and whale appearances are left to chance, I’ve come to accept it. Now I have a reason to try again someday.

However, I can't help but feel that if the care before and after boarding had been a bit more thorough, my overall satisfaction would have been much higher, leaving me with a sense of regret.

雨季と言われる2月、初めてのホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。
色々と調べた結果、酔いやすい人は大きな船の方が揺れが少なくて安心、と見たのでこちらに申し込みました。酔いやすいので朝ごはんもしっかり食べてから乗船しましたので、朝食も無しのシンプルプランで。

当日は現地の方も驚く豪雨でしたが、欠航の連絡もないのでひとまず集合場所へ。
しかしバスで港まで連れて行かれた後、添乗員の方は何故か列の最後方を歩いており、先頭あたりにいた私たちは、雨の中どこへ向かえばいいのかも分からず…
乗船後も誰も案内（というか一切の説明）をしてくれないので、間違ったデッキに上がってしまったり、訳が分からず入り口付近で立ち止まってしまう人ばかり。
船内に入った後も、特にちゃんとした説明もないまま朝食が始まったので、おそらく朝食無しプランの方も勝手に食べていたのではないでしょうか。

私は周囲の食事の臭いで酔いそうだったので、出港早々デッキに出て海を眺めていましたが、Naturalistのお姉さんのアナウンスを聞いているだけでも楽しかったです。
さすがに海は荒れて白波が立っており、CaptainやNaturalistの方がクジラを見つけたとアナウンスしてくれても、正直素人には発見は難しかったです。晴れて海面が穏やかなら、もう少し探しやすかったのでしょうか。
残念でしたが、お天気とクジラの出現は運任せですので、仕方なかったかなと諦めています。いつか再挑戦する名目ができました。

ただ乗船前後のケアがもう少ししっかりしていたら、全体的な満足度はもっと高かったんじゃないかと思うと、こちらは悔しい思いが残りました。

I participated in a whale watching plan that included breakfast and hotel transfers! To be honest, the breakfast was not great, but it was nice to have the opportunity to eat breakfast on the sea, so I’m glad I included it. The inside of the boat was air-conditioned and a bit chilly, so it's better to bring a jacket. As for the whale watching, I saw a few whale spouts, but I didn’t actually see any whales. Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about that. However, I was satisfied with the cruise as I could leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat!

朝食付きのホエールウォッチング、ホテルからの送迎付きのプランに参加しました！朝食は正直いまいちですが、海の上で朝食を食べる機会はそうそうないので朝食を付けて良かったです。船内は冷房が効いていて肌寒かったので、上着を持っていったほうが良いですね。肝心のホエールウォッチングですが、数回クジラの潮吹きが見れましたが、クジラは見れませんでした。。自然のことなので、こればかりは仕方ないですよね。船の上からゆっくりとワイキキの街並みやダイアモンドヘッドが見れたのでクルーズとしては満足でした！

It is right there as soon as you exit after transferring on the freeway. The volume is perfect. The kids were thrilled. My son tried surfing for the first time and did quite well. There are various types of slides, and the atmosphere of the facility was enjoyable without any dull spots.

フリーウェアを乗継ぎ、出口を出たらすぐにあります。ボリュームは満点。子供たちは大喜びでした。息子は初の波乗りに挑戦し、なかなかのパフォーマンスでした。スライダーもいろんな種類があるし、施設の雰囲気もガランとしているところがなくって楽しめました。
