All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This was an awesome experience and my husband and I had a great time! We both felt very safe at all times and were provided with mandatory life jackets as a safety measure. From the hotel pick up to the drop off, everyone was pleasant, courteous and met all our expectations. I would highly recommend this company again!

Extremely fun! I'm terrified of heights, but this was worth it. The bus picks you up right at your hotel and takes you to the dock, where you get on a boat with two really funny but knowledgable guys to guide you through this. Never felt unsafe, never felt like I should have picked a different company. They even took pictures of us and we got to buy the photos on an SD card after the event. Well worth the money and would definitely do again.

"Did I manage to ride even as a beginner?!"
My friend (a woman in her mid-20s with excellent athletic ability and skilled at snowboarding) managed to catch waves and was smiling and giving peace signs with both hands by her second try, despite it being her first experience surfing. The instructor even asked her, "Is this really your first time?" She seemed very satisfied and said, "I want to surf again when I go back to Japan!" (^^)

On the other hand, I (a generally average woman in my early 30s with no particular aversion to sports) fell 7 times out of 10 attempts and could only stand up about 3 times (even then, I couldn't manage a peace sign and was quite wobbly).

"The instructor was amazing"
I have participated in various tours with Veltra, but I thought this instructor had the toughest job. When we got tired from paddling, they would pull me along while paddling and push us with all their might to help us catch waves... it was really physical labor!!! I thought it was a tough job. They were also fun to chat with, which made it easy to tip them (^^).

"The photos were great"
They were secretly taken from the shore and turned out quite well.

"The beach was full of reefs and corals"
We wore shoes for surfing, but even so, I ended up hitting my legs against the reefs and corals when I fell. At first, we learned how to protect ourselves from the reefs and corals, but I still bumped into them a bit. As someone who isn't very skilled, I ended up with a lot of bruises on my legs... Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) Also, the sea was cold in February.

《初めてでも乗れたか⁉︎》
友達（運動神経抜群の20代半ば女性。スノーボードが得意）は、サーフィン初体験にも関わらず、２回目のトライからもう波に乗って、両手を大きく挙げて笑顔でピースをしていました。
インストラクターさんから、「あなた、本当に初めて？」と聞かれるほど。
そんな彼女はやはり満足度が高かったみたいで、「日本に帰ってからもサーフィンやりたい！」と言っていました(^^)

一方、私（運動に苦手意識はない一般的な30代前半女性）は、１０回中、7回転び、3回立てるかな（それでもピースは無理。へっぴり腰）くらいになりました。

《インストラクターがすごい》
今までベルトラさんで色々なツアーに参加してきましたが、今回のインストラクターさんが、一番たいへんだろうなぁと思いました。
というのは、私達がパドリングに疲れたら、私の事も引っ張ってパドリングしてくれたり、私達を波に乗せるために力一杯押してくれたり…ほんっと肉体労働！！！
たいへんなお仕事だなぁと思いました。
おしゃべりが面白くて楽しいってのもありましたし、チップを気持ちよく払えました(^^)

《写真が良かった》
岸からこっそり撮られています。なかなかの出来でした。

《ビーチは岩礁とサンゴだらけ》
サーフィン用の靴を履いてやるんですけど、それでも転んだ時に、脚を岩礁やサンゴにぶつけてしまいます。
最初に、岩礁やサンゴから身を守る方法を習うのですが、それでも多少はぶつけちゃいます。
下手な私は、脚に青あざがたくさん…Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
それから、2月の海は寒かったです。

I was surprisingly able to meet wild dolphins very easily. The dolphins were resting, so we could swim closely with them during the group snorkeling! The guide's enthusiasm was also amazing.

びっくりするぐらい簡単に野生のイルカに会えました。イルカさんはお休み中なので集団シュノーケリングで間近で一緒に泳げる！
ガイドさんの熱がまたサイコーですよ。

This time, since my 9-year-old nephew was with us, I really wanted to show him, but we couldn't see any whales, as they are wild animals. It's disappointing. >＜

今回は９歳の甥っ子も一緒に行っていたため、ぜひ見せてあげたいと思っていたのですがやはりクジラも自然の動物会えませんでした。残念＞＜

Five years ago, I also went parasailing in Hawaii. It was so much fun that this time was my second experience.

However! This time, it was a very windy day... (/ _ ; ) The boat was rocking back and forth...

...I got sick m(_ _)m

There were 11 people on the tour, including me, and both me and another person got sick (/ _ ; ) Even during the parasailing, the wind was strong, and I couldn't enjoy the scenery, feeling more like "This is scary~."

That said, it’s true that I had fun five years ago, so it really depends on the weather. Also, since it's a short activity, I think it's a good point that you can easily book it during your free time (o^冖^o)

5年前にも、同じくハワイでパラセイリングをしたことがありました。その時、とーっても楽しかったので、今回２回目でした。

しかし！今回はとても風が強い日で…(/ _ ; )
船がもう、揺れて揺れて…

…吐きましたm(_ _)m

船には、ツアー体験者が私を含め11人いたのですが、私ともう一人が吐いてました(/ _ ; )
パラセイリング中も風が強くて、景色を楽しむ余裕もなく、「怖い〜」って感じでした。

ただ、5年前は楽しかったのも真実なので、お天気しだいというところかと。
あと、短時間のアクティビティなので、あいてる時間に気軽に申し込めるのが良い点かなぁと思います(o^冖^o)

I highly recommend the sandbar adventure if you're in Oahu. We were picked up close to our hotel. The bus trip was very comfortable and the tour guide was informative and entertaining. The sandbar was amazing! We were able to walk around and they also set up a net for those who are interested in playing volleyball. We had hamburgers for lunch with chips and bbq beans. The snorkeling was also enjoyable. We were able to see and swim with the sea turtles and tropical fish along the protected coral reef. The staff was so laid back and organized. I highly suggest bringing swim shoes, towel and extra change of clothing. There is a bathroom in the pier. We love it so much we are planning to do it again.

We boarded the cruise with the mindset that it would be lucky if we encountered anything, especially with our 6 and 3-year-old children. Once on board, we started with lunch. The lunch included pork curry (the potatoes were huge!) along with a salad and a bit of meat dish. There were cut fruits, which the kids happily enjoyed. After about 40 minutes on the cruise, there was an announcement to head to the deck to see the spouting! There were Japanese staff members, and all the announcements and explanations were provided in Japanese. We spent time on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and looking for whales ourselves. We saw spouts about ten times, and during two or three of those, parts of the whale's body were visible on the surface. The kids, who had caught on to the technique, were thrilled to spot them with their own eyes. We were also delighted to see a turtle swimming and a pod of dolphins just before returning to the port. It was a very satisfying experience!

6才3才の子供連れで、出会えたらラッキーだよね、くらいの気持ちで乗船。乗船したらまずはランチ。ランチはポークカレー（じゃがいもデカ！）と他、サラダとお肉料理が少々。カットフルーツがあり、子供たちは喜んで食べていました。乗船して40分くらいでしょうか。潮吹きが見られるからデッキへ！とアナウンス。日本人スタッフもいて、全ての案内、解説は日本語で聞けました。潮風とクルーズ、そして自分でホエールを発見するために、デッキで過ごしました。潮吹きは10回くらい、そのうち2、3回はホエールの体の一部も海面に見え、コツをつかんだ子供も自分の目で発見し、喜んでいました。ホヌが泳いでいたり、帰港直前にドルフィンが群れで泳いでいたりと、大満足でした！

I participated with my family, and we got along well with the other participants, spending a fun time together. I learned quickly and was able to ride right away, creating the best memories.

家族と参加したのですが、他の参加者とも仲良くなりみんなで楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
教えてもらいすぐ乗れるようになり最高の思い出になりました。

I experienced it at 120 meters. When I actually saw it, it was really high, and I was nervous until it started, but with the encouragement of the lively crew, I was floating in no time! I was able to hand over my smartphone for them to take pictures, and as long as you’re careful not to drop it, you can also take photos from up in the air. I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii!

120mで体験しました。
実際見るととても高くて、始まるまで緊張してましたが、ノリノリのクルーにおだてられあっという間に浮いていました☆
スマホを預けて撮影もして貰えましたし、落とさないように気をつければ上空からの、撮影も出来ます☆
またハワイに行ったら絶対行きます٩( ᐛ )و

I was able to fly without any unnecessary waiting time.

I flew at 120 meters, and the view was absolutely stunning. It was thrilling when the wind picked up along the way.

Thank you very much.

すごくさくっと無駄な待機時間なども無く飛ぶことが出来ました。

120mで飛びましたがとても高く絶景でした。
途中風が吹くとスリリングな感じで楽しめました。

ありがとうございました。

We are a family of five. My wife and I (over 60), our two sons, and our daughter are all adults, but we were nervous about our first horseback riding experience. However, seeing a child around seven years old riding before us made us feel at ease. The location has a sign on the left side of Route 83, and if you turn left, it's right there. You can also see the ranch along the road. The office is the meeting place, but there are no signs inside the ranch, so we went towards the back where there was a building, and we found a small office in a place with a few parked cars. There was no permanent staff, and after the previous riding group returned, the guide helped us with the check-in. During the one-hour ride, we climbed hills and maneuvered through trees, and everyone was satisfied. It was okay to ride with a small shoulder bag or pouch. Unfortunately, there was no horseback riding by the beach.

家族５人です。妻と私（６０歳以上）・息子２人・娘１人全員大人ですが初乗馬ドキドキしていましたが、１組前に７歳くらいの子供が乗っていたのを見て安心しました。場所はルート８３の左側に案内看板があり左折すればすぐです。道路沿いにも牧場が見えます。オフイスが集合場所となっていますが、牧場内に案内看板はなく、とりあえず建物がある奥へ行き、数台駐車している場所があったので行くと、そこに小さな小屋のようなオフイスがありました。常設の係員はいなく、前の乗馬組が戻ってからそのガイドの方が受付をしてくれました。１時間の乗馬で牧場内の丘を登ったり、木の間をすり抜けたりみんな満足していました。小さなショルダーバック・ポーチはつけたままでも乗馬OKでした。残念ながら海辺の乗馬はありませんでした。

It was my first time going whale watching. I joined with the mindset that it would be lucky if I got to see any, but I was able to see them multiple times. I learned that whales surface for air about once every 15 minutes, so once we spotted one, we could see it several times. It was a bit far away, but it was incredibly impressive. I'm glad I participated.

生まれて初めてのホエールウォッチング。見れたらラッキー程度の気持ちで参加しましたが、何回も見ることができました。
クジラは息継ぎの為に15分に１度くらいで浮上してくるそうなので、一度見つけたら何回も見ることができました。
少し遠かったけど大迫力でした。
参加してよかったです。

I participated in a prestigious university dolphin tour in late February! The weather was great, and the sea was a beautiful deep blue! I joined the tour on the second boat! The weather was nice, but it was definitely the right choice to go with the second boat since it was warmer! Most people rented wetsuits because the wind was strong, and I think having one is reassuring! I'm really glad I participated in the tour! We were able to see whales right from the start! Then, we immediately swam with a large group of dolphins! They were so cute and it was truly moving! After that, we encountered many turtles and there seemed to be seals as well! We had fun kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, and time flew by! I was worried about getting seasick, but the boat was stable! There were also small children participating, and they seemed to be having a great time! Above all, our guide, Juri, had such a bright personality and her talk was really enjoyable! The photographer was also a very interesting person! They took a lot of beautiful photos for us! I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

2月の後半に名門大学イルカツアーに参加してきました！お天気も良く海もとっても濃いブルーでとっても綺麗でした！2便でのツアーで参加しました！天気は良かったですが、2便の方が暖かくて正解でした！風が強かったのでほとんどの人がウエットスーツをレンタルしていました！あった方が安心だと思います！ツアーは本当に参加して良かったです！出発からすぐにクジラを見る事ができました！そして、すぐにイルカの大群と泳げました！本当に可愛くて感動しました！そのあと沢山の亀にも遭遇したり、アザラシもいたようです！カヌーやスタンドアップパドルボートをしたり、楽しくてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました！船も酔わないか心配でしたが、安定した船でした！小さい子供も参加されてましたが、楽しそうでした！そして、なによりガイドのじゅりさん、とても明るい性格とトークが、とっても楽しかったです！カメラマンさんもとても、おもしろい方でした！綺麗な写真を沢山撮っていただきました！また、機会があったら参加したいです！

Loved our guides...well informed and enjoyable. Suggestions...half sandwich not enough. Also the activities should be more accurately described regarding difficulty. Too difficult for 1 of our party. Also children under 10 should not be included as they hold up the progress of the group especially in the bike.

I was hoping to see maybe a blow or just a brief glimpse of a whale but we saw a whale show like I could never imagined. They called it the running of the bulls and it was whales breaching the water together jumping and showing off like they new we were there to see them. Breakfast was good a few more options for the price would have been appreciated, maybe bacon, potatoes, or some veggies and cheese to go with the scrambled eggs.

I ordered this for my friends, a family of 4, during their Hawaii trip. For they saw my posts, and love to go. However, because they have a 1.5-yr old, they can't go to the Five Star option, so they went to this one. They loved it. They said the lobster is about the size of their baby girl. Thank you for your service!

The day before was rainy, and there were strong winds on the day itself, so I understood to some extent, but I was unable to see any whales. The sea was rough, and even though it was a large ship, it was rolling and certainly not in a comfortable environment.

I understand that nature is unpredictable, so I can accept not seeing anything, but it left me feeling dissatisfied that there was no interaction at all on the ship or the return bus before we parted ways.

I at least wanted a word of acknowledgment.

前日雨、当日強風という日でしたのですある程度理解はしていましたが、クジラは見る事ができませんでした。
海はシケていたので、大型船ですがうねりながらと決して快適とも言えない環境でした。

見れなかったことに対しても自然が相手だからわかりますが、船でも、帰りのバスでも全く触れないまま解散と、なんだか不満だけが残りました。

せめて、ひと言欲しかったです。

I participated in this for my honeymoon. My wife forgot her smartphone in the restroom, and when she returned after about five minutes, it had already been stolen. We consulted with the staff, but it didn't come back (；´Д｀). Since you can store things in lockers, I don't think it's the pool's fault (laughs).

The attraction pool is a lot of fun. The barbecue was a bit different from what I imagined. It wasn't a do-it-yourself style; instead, there was already cooked meat laid out. I think it's sufficient for a poolside lunch though♬

If I had to say something, I would be happier if the wait times for attractions were a bit shorter. There are hardly any places in the park where you can see a clock. Only in one spot, while waiting for a tall attraction, I could see a clock on a building outside the pool (laughs). It might be difficult to keep track of the meeting times? Since accessories and watches are prohibited (laughs).

Overall, I think it's a good facility ( ^ω^ ).

新婚旅行で参加をさせて頂きました。
嫁がトイレにスマホを忘れて、5分くらいで戻ったら
もう既に盗られており係の方にも相談しましたが帰って来ませんでした( ；´Д｀)
ロッカーにしまえるので、プール側の落ち度はありません（笑）

アトラクションのプールはとても楽しいです。
バーベキューはちょっとイメージとは違います。
自分で焼くわけでは無くて、焼いてある肉が並んでいるスタイルでした。
プールのランチとしては充分だとは思いますけどね♬

強いて言えば、アトラクションの並び時間がもう少し短くなると嬉しいですね。
園内に時計が見える場所がほとんどないです。
一箇所だけ、高いアトラクションの待っているところでプールの外の建物についている時計が見れました（笑）
集合時間の把握が難しいかな？
アクセサリー、時計が禁止ですからね（笑）

トータルでみたら、良い施設だと思います( ^ω^ )

I didn't feel any seasickness on the large ship at all. The curry was delicious, and the staff were very pleasant. I saw whales about ten times. I gradually got used to it and was able to film some videos. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to see the whales closer and also meet dolphins and turtles.

大型船で船酔いはまったくなかったです。カレーも美味しかったし、スタッフも感じがよかったです。クジラは10回ぐらい見えました。だんだん慣れてきて動画も撮影できました。欲を言えばもっと近いところでクジラを見たかったし、イルカや亀にも会いたかったです。

I was picked up by a large bus in front of the hotel and headed to Aloha Tower. It was reassuring to have a Japanese-speaking staff member accompanying us, which made the experience enjoyable. Before boarding, there was a commemorative photo opportunity, and I purchased it for $30 (which included a photo and a commemorative cover with a mount, and they also sent the file to my email). There were other options available for just the photo or just the file.

Once on board, we started lunch (a buffet) in a spacious indoor area with a great view (it had a bit of a party venue atmosphere). The meal included curry, chicken, cold pasta, and four types of fruit. Alcohol was available for an additional charge, but coffee and tea were free. I would have appreciated a few more menu options, but the taste was good.

We waited for whales on the covered deck on the top floor. There was an announcement when a whale was spotted. After it spouted water, we were able to see its tail sinking into the sea multiple times. It was smaller and farther away than I expected, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was still quite moving. I also enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and planes taking off from the airport from the boat. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.

ホテル前で大型バスにピックアップされ、アロハタワーに向かう。日本語のスタッフ同行で安心して楽しめた。乗船前に記念撮影があり、記念に＄30（写真と記念の表紙付き台紙、メールアドレスにファイルも送ってもらえた。他にも写真のみやファイルのみの選択肢があった）で購入した。乗船した客より見晴らしの良い広い室内（ちょっとしたパーディー会場の雰囲気）で昼食（ブッフェ）がスタート。食事はカレー・チキン・冷製パスタ・フルーツ4種など。アルコールは別途有料だったが、コーヒー・紅茶はフリー。もう少しメニューが多いと嬉しいが、味は良かった。最上階の屋根付きデッキでクジラを待つ。クジラが発見されるとアナウンスあり。潮吹き後、尾が海へ沈む姿を何回も見ることができた。思っていたより遠くで小さくて一瞬だが、それなりに感動だった。船から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドや空港から飛び立つ飛行機などの様子も見られて良かった。ハワイ旅行の一番の思い出となった。

As soon as we set sail, there was a whale at 3 o'clock!
Could it be a cute baby whale?
It even showed us its bridge style!
We also saw a mother and baby whale's backs while being sent off by dolphins and in the harbor upon our return!
I was so happy to see so many!

出港するやいなや、3時方向にクジラが！と。
まだかわいらしい子クジラでしょうか？
ブリッジスタイルもしてくれました❗
イルカの見送りや帰港の湾内では親子クジラの背中が！
たくさん会えて嬉しかったです！

I had a great time. The scenery was very beautiful, and I didn't feel the height too much. Next time I participate, I would like to try the 150 meters.

I really had fun.

とても楽しかったです。
景色もとても綺麗で、高さもそんなに感じられず、次回参加する時は150メートルを参加してみたいです。

本当に楽しかったです。

It felt like stepping into the world of Jurassic Park, and there was even a museum-like experience inside. Driving the buggy was my first time, but it was very easy to handle and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this activity!

ジュラシックパークの世界に入り込んだような感じで中には博物館のような体験も出来ました。
バギーの運転も初めてでしたが、凄く乗りやすくとても楽しかったです。
是非オススメなアクティビティです。

My family went on this amazing trip expecting to see whales spray and slap their tails against the water. We did get that and so much more. We got to see at least two whales breaching numerous times and just playing, diving in and out of the water. It was so incredible. That early wake up was 100% worth it. The boat was very spacious and I really enjoyed the ride. The crew narrator was very informative and the whole crew, especially the captain were very professional. Highly recommend this outing.

I went whale watching with my one-year-old daughter, and the crew was very friendly, there was a show, and the food was delicious✨ Above all, we encountered whales right away, and my excitement was through the roof!! I also really enjoyed participating in the hula experience. I would love to try other tours as well!

一歳の娘を連れてのホエールウォッチングに行ったのですが、クルーの皆さんもとてもフレンドリーだし、ショーもあり、食事も美味しい✨何より、クジラにもすぐに出会えて、私のテンションは上がりっぱなしでした！！フラ体験もとても楽しく参加させていただきました。他のツアーにも参加してみたいです！

I participated with two friends.
The sea in heaven was amazing.
If you're coming to Hawaii, I think you should definitely go at least once!

友人と3人で参加をしました。
天国の海最高でした。
ハワイに来るのであれば一度は行ったほうがいいと思います。！！

Nice staff. Food was good and plentiful. Service good, though preordered fish was not available. Wish the jazz entertainment had started earlier. Cruising along the coast after sunset was nice. Not sure the evening was worth the cost

The tour was conducted entirely in English, and there were no Japanese participants. The tour guide was cheerful and entertaining, and when I requested the $30 photo service, I was satisfied with the many great photos I received. When you're floating in the air, if you think about it and look down, it's 120 meters! That suddenly makes you feel scared (laughs). I took motion sickness medication, so I had no problems at all, but since the boat sways quite a bit, it seems wise to take precautions.

オール英語でのツアーで、参加客も日本人はいませんでした。ツアーの方は明るく楽しませてくれる方で、写真の30ドルのサービスをお願いしたらなかなかいい写真がたくさん入ってて満足しました。空に浮いてるときは、よく考えると下を見ると120メートルなのか！と思うと急に怖くなります（笑）。私は酔い止めを飲んだので全く問題ありませんでしたが船が結構揺れるので対策したほうがよさそうですね。

The staff was great - very nice and knowledgeable.
