All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Captain and crew were great. Equipment was well maintained. Easy to find location.

We were told that going to Hawaii we had to go to a luau and we were not disappointed at all! The staff at chiefs luau were absolutely amazing, the food was fantastic but the overall experience is something we'll never forget. Thank you so much for a one of a kind and magical experience. I don't have enough good things to say, just do it!!

We didn't pay for the meal, instead we ate ahead of time. We had a nice time. Saw some whales, but not very close. Still it was worth the price for a morning out on the ocean.

I participated in the 110-meter plan early in the morning. I was a bit anxious because the pickup location was not at the hotel, but the bus arrived on time, so I quickly felt reassured.

There were 10 participants, including the two of us. Among the staff and customers, we were the only Japanese. There were also small children around 3 years old and some participants who came alone.

Even without being able to speak English, I was able to enjoy parasailing easily without any difficulties! At 110 meters, it wasn't as high as I thought, and there was no fear at all. The view and the breeze from above the sea were very pleasant.

Since it was an activity that small children could enjoy, I definitely want to challenge it again in the future when my family grows!

朝一番の110メートルのプランに参加しました。
ピックアップの場所がホテルではなかったので
少し不安でしたが、バスは時間通りに来たので
すぐに安心できました。

参加者は私たち二人をいれて、10人。
スタッフやお客さんの中で
日本人は私たちだけでした。
3歳くらいの小さい子や一人で参加してる方も。

英語ができなくても、難しいこともなく
簡単にパラセイリングを楽しめました！
110メートル、上がってみると思ったよりも高くなく、そして恐怖も全くなく、海の上から見渡す景色と風がとてもきもちよかったです。

小さい子も楽しめるアクティビティだったので
将来、家族が増えたら是非もう一度
チャレンジしたいと思います！

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather was nice and the waves were calm, so the breeze felt pleasant. I was satisfied with the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore.

残念ながらクジラには会えなかったです。
でも良いお天気で波も穏やかだったので風が気持ちよく
沖合から眺めたワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドで満足しました。

I was worried about the weather, but even if it rained during this time, it stopped quickly (raincoats were provided). The sunset behind the stage was very beautiful. There were many participants due to Christmas, but the seats were close, allowing us to fully enjoy the show. The show was authentic and very impressive.

天気が心配でしたが、この時期は雨が降ってもすぐにやみました（カッパが配られました。）
舞台のバックでは夕景が非常にきれいでした。
クリスマスで非常に参加者が多かったですが、席も近くショウを堪能できました。
ショウは本格的で見ごたえ十分です。

While waiting at the bus stop near the hotel where we were staying, I started to feel a bit anxious when the bus didn't arrive at the scheduled time. However, about ten minutes later than planned, a blue van appeared, and I felt relieved as I got inside.

Inside the van, a foreigner in the front seat handed me a waiver to sign. It made me a little uneasy that everyone else in the van, except for my husband and me, was a foreigner.

When we arrived at the boat dock, we were guided to a counter with a sign that read "Extreme Parasailing." There, I showed them the voucher I had printed out, and after receiving the okay, we boarded the boat shortly after. On the boat were just the two of us, a Canadian family of two, and a family of five whose nationality was unclear. As we listened to them, we realized we were the first ones up, so we hurried to get our life jackets ready. The boat sped off to the parasailing launch point, and it turned out we were indeed the first ones. We moved to the front of the boat and prepared ourselves. Finally, we took off into the sky.

I’m not great with the feeling of falling, but once I was up in the air, it was smooth sailing, and I felt like I was floating. When we reached 150 meters, the boat below looked quite small, and I wondered if I would be able to land safely, which made me a bit scared. However, the view from up there was absolutely beautiful. In front of me was Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, and when I turned around, I could see planes flying. The ocean looked a deep blue. When it was time to descend, it felt like we were gradually coming down, and I wasn’t scared at all. Just as we got close to the boat, I was splashed into the sea, which felt refreshing. The driver was very skilled.

Afterward, the next two customers had their turn, but the family of five who had come together seemed to have someone who got scared watching our 150-meter parasailing, or perhaps they got seasick; I’m not sure. They ended up canceling their parasailing experience. I thought it was a bit of a shame, but we had a great time, so it was no problem for us. In the end, we paid $30 for the photo data (SD card) and tipped before finishing up. If I get the chance again, I would definitely love to experience it once more.

　滞在していたホテルの近くのバス停留所で、待ち合わせの時間になってもバスが来ないので、もしかして自力で行くことになるのかな・・・？と少々不安にはなりましたが、予定より１０分弱遅れて、青いバンが現れ、一安心してバンの中に乗り込みました。
　バスの中で前の席の外国人から、免責同意書を渡され、名前を書きました。バンの中は、私たち夫婦以外はすべて外国人で少々不安になりました。
　ボートの発着所に着くと、エキストリーム・パラセイルという看板の書かれた窓口まで案内され、そこでコピーしてもっていったバウチャーを見せ、無事OKをもらい、しばらくしてボートに乗り込みました。ボートに乗っていたのは、私たち夫婦２人、カナダ人の親子２人、国籍は不明ですが外国人の家族５人でした。話しを聞いていると、私たち2人が最初だよと、急いでライフジャケットの準備。ボートでパラセイリングの開始地点まで走らせると、私たちがやはり最初のようで、ボートの前の方へ移動し、準備。いざ、空へ出発。
　落ちるという感覚が大の苦手な私ですが、一度空に上がってしまえば順調に上に行き、プカプカ空に浮いている感覚でした。１５０ｍまで到達したときは、下のボートかなり小さく見えて、ちゃんと降りられるかな？と思い怖かったです。でも、空から見える景色は本当にきれいでした。目の前にはワイキキのビーチとダイヤモンドヘッド、後ろを振り返ると、飛行機が飛んでいるのが見えました。海が深い青色に見えました。降りるときはちょっとずつ下に下がる感じで、ほとんど怖くありませんでした。ただ、ボートまで近づいてきた時に、じゃぼっと海の中に落とされました。それもまた気持ちよかったです。ちょっとだけ海につける腕前。運転手さん（？）、上手です。
　その後、次の２名のお客さんが体験しましたが、５名の家族で来ていたお客さんは、私たちの１５０ｍのパラセイリングを下で見ていて怖くなった人がいたのか、はたまた、船酔いしてしまったのか、良くわかりませんが、パラセイリングをすることをキャンセルしていました。ちょっともったいないなと思いつつ、私たちはとても楽しめたので、問題はありませんでした。最後に、写真のデータ（SDカード）代３０ドル、チップを渡して終わりました。また機会があったら、ぜひ、もう一度体験したいです。

I made a reservation because I wanted to swim with dolphins! However, unfortunately, the weather was cloudy... ( ´･ω･) I was worried about whether I could swim with the dolphins, but I was able to swim with them for just a moment!!! I was also able to swim with turtles, which was great! There were plenty of activities like a hula dance show and BBQ, and the crew members were cheerful and made it a lot of fun!

イルカと一緒に泳ぎたくって予約しました！
しかしあいにくの天気で空はくもり。。。( ´･ω･)
イルカと泳げるか不安でしたが一瞬だけですが泳ぐことができました！！！
亀とも泳ぐことができよかったです！
フラダンスショーやBBQともりだくさんでクルーの方々も明るく楽しかったです！

I experienced the 150m flight. There were also a newlywed Japanese couple and three foreign families with us. It was a windy day, and the boat was rocking a lot with splashes of water until we got out to sea. I thought I might get seasick. Since you get wet, wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel are essential. Given how much it rocked, I wished they had made us wear life jackets from the start.

After regaining my composure, we took off into the sky at an angle that felt almost perpendicular to the boat, and it was higher and more beautiful than I had imagined! The flight lasted about five minutes, which was a bit short, but just before returning to the boat, there was a little surprise performance that was fun. The sea viewed from 150m up was sparkling beautifully in the light.

Overall, it was a lot of fun! Since you get very wet, I recommend planning your schedule so that you can return to the hotel afterward.

他には日本人の新婚のカップルと3人の外国の家族連れの方がいました。

帰れるスケジュールで組むのがおすすめです。

We spotted a whale a little offshore!! The captain quickly turned the boat, and we were able to see it multiple times. I was particularly moved by the sight of two whales swimming together, following the boat's stern.

少し沖に出た所でくじら発見!!　船長さんが機転をきかして船は旋回し、何度も何度も見ることができました。特に船の船尾を二頭揃って追尾して泳ぐ姿には感動した。

After about a 30-minute voyage from the port to offshore Waikiki, the whale watching began. For the first 30 minutes, there were no whales in sight at all. After that, we spotted tails and spouts about five times, with intervals of 5 to 15 minutes. Although we didn't see any spectacular jumps, we were able to see the whales.

The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from offshore is truly breathtaking. The curry rice for lunch was very Japanese, and while the variety was limited, the other dishes were delicious as well. The waves offshore Waikiki weren't high, but since we slowed down to drift between the waves while searching for whales, some people did experience seasickness.

港からワイキキ沖まで30分ほど航海して、クジラウォッチングが始まります。最初の30分ほどはまったくクジラが見当たりませんでした。その後、5分から15分間隔で、尾ひれや潮吹きが5回ほど見られました。豪快にジャンプをするところはありませんでしたが、なんとかクジラを見ることができました。
沖合いから見るワイキキのホテルやダイアモンドヘッドは本当に絶景です。ランチのカレーライスも日本的で、品数は少ないですが他の料理も美味しいです。ワイキキ沖は波は高くありませんが、クジラを見つけるのに速度を落として波間を漂うので、船酔いする人もいました。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. It seems that the other people on the same tour also only caught a glimpse, but couldn't see them clearly. The view of the beach and Diamond Head from the sea is beautiful, so I think it's a good tour for first-time visitors to Hawaii. However, for those who have been there multiple times, it might feel a bit lacking.

ホエール見れなくて残念でした。
同じツアーの方も、見えたかも？ぐらいでハッキリとは見えなかったようです。
ビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを海から見る景色は良いので、ハワイに初めて行く人にはいいツアーだと思います。
何度も行っている人には物足りないと思いました。

I chose the 150m option, and although I was nervous, it was stable enough for me to enjoy the scenery and take photos. The breeze was pleasant, making for a nice flight, but after landing, my body was wet and cold, so a large towel is essential (laughs).

150mを選んで、怖くないかドキドキしましたが、安定しているので、景色を楽しんだり写真を撮ったりできました。風が心地よくて気持ちのいいフライトでしたが、降りた後、体が濡れていて寒いので、大きなタオルなどは必須です(笑)

I came to Hawaii in January when whales are often seen, so I decided to sign up for a tour. It ended in the morning, which made it easy to plan my day.

There were not many Japanese people.

Since the pickup was around 7 AM, I had lunch in my room. It seemed like there was time to have breakfast before the boat reached the whale watching point, so a plan that included breakfast might have been nice.

Although I couldn't see them up close, I was able to see dolphins and whales multiple times. I wondered if there are days when you can't see them.

Just seeing Diamond Head from the boat is worth it.

クジラが良くいる1月にハワイに来たので、せっかくなので申し込みました。
午前中に終わるので予定か立てやすかったです。

日本人は少なかったです。

ピックアップが7時頃でしたので、昼食は部屋で取りました。
船がクジラポイント近くに来るまでに朝食が食べれるようでしたので
朝食付きプランでもよかったかも。

近くでは見ることができませんでしたが

何度も、イルカ・クジラを見ることができて
見れない日があるのかな　とも思いました。

船からダイヤモンドヘッドを見るだけでも価値があります。

It was my first time horseback riding, and I was very satisfied after just one hour. Before the ride, there was an explanation in English, but it included gestures, so even if you don't understand English, you can somewhat grasp the information. There were other participants (foreigners) besides us, and we had a group of five plus one guide for the ride. During the ride, the guide spoke to us in slow English (asking things like where we were from). They were very kind, which was great. At one point, the horse stopped moving, but the guide handled it well. It was cloudy that day, but the greenery made for a very pleasant experience. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but I recommend it for beginners.

初めての乗馬でしたが、1時間で大満足でした。
乗馬の前に英語での説明がありますが、ジェスチャーが入るので、英語が分からなくても何となく理解できます。
私たち以外にも参加者（外国の方）がいて5名+ガイド1名での乗馬となりました。乗馬中、ガイドの方がゆっくりとした英語で話しかけてくれました。（何処から来たの？等）優しい方で良かったです。途中、馬が動かなくなってしまいましたが、しっかりガイドの方が対応してくれました。
当日は曇り空でしたが、緑が多くとても気持ちが良い体験となりました。
ワイキキからは少し遠いですが、初心者の方にもおすすめです。

In January, the water temperature is on the lower side, so caution is necessary. We mainly used the pool for small children, and the kids' smiles were bursting with joy.

水温が１月だと低めなので注意が必要です
小さい子向けのプールを主に使いましたが子供の笑顔がはじけていました

I was surprised to see whales near Waikiki. The food was delicious, and we had a great time making leis as a family.

ワイキキ近くでクジラが見えるとはびっくりしました。料理もおいしかったですし、レイ作りも家族で楽しく作れました

I participated with my 66-year-old mother and 11-year-old daughter. Although I couldn't speak any Japanese, the staff were very kind, so we managed to get by with our feelings. It was our first time riding horses, and we were able to enjoy it from start to finish. Both my mother and daughter were very happy. However, the long bus ride and the uncertainty of the time made us anxious until we got back, but we created wonderful memories. Thank you!

66歳の母と11歳の娘を連れて参加しました。日本語は全く通じませんでしたが、対応してくれた方がとても親切でしたので、なんとかフィーリングで切り抜けました。初めての乗馬でしたが、最初から最後まで楽しく乗ることができました。母も娘もすごく喜んでくれました。ただ、The busでの移動が長いのと時間の予測がつかないのとで、帰って来るまでドキドキでしたが素晴らしい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました！

Our 2nd time on this trip with captain bobs and another excellent day

To be honest, I didn't think it would be possible to see whales this reliably. I wasn't able to see them jumping out of the water, but I was satisfied to see rainbows when they spouted water.

実際のところ見れないことはないとは思いますが、ここまで確実にホエールウォッチングができるとは思っていませんでした。海面上でジャンプするのを見ることができませんでしたが、潮を吹くときに虹が出たりするのも見れたりして満足です。

The sunset was cool.
After dark I enjoyed the Hawaii skyline even more.
Need to figure out a better flow through the buffet line. The people were entering the buffet area form both sides which caused confusion and not a lot of area to move around in.

As a family of four, this was a fantastic experience with Blue Divers of Hawaii. Our trip in winter was a bit of a windy day. However, our guides had wet suits that we could rent for the snorkeling trip. Saved all of us on that chilly day. Guides were excellent with making everyone comfortable in their masks and keeping us together as a group. Best part was seeing the turtles and the small shark!!

My child was scared to jump off the side of the boat and couldn't do it, but they received gentle support. It was a bit cold on the boat with a wet body, so some measures against the cold might be necessary.

子供が船べりから飛び込むのを怖がって飛び込めなかったのですが、優しくサポートしてもらえました。濡れた体での船の上が少し寒かったので、寒さ対策が必要かも。

The weather was nice, so we were able to see sea turtles from the boat and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. We also had a jungle exploration in a vehicle like a jeep, visiting many movie filming locations, including Jurassic World. The lunch buffet was delicious too.

天気がよかったせいもあり船から海ガメをみることができたり、綺麗な山の景色を堪能しました。またジープのような車でシャングル探検あり、ジュラシックワールドなど数多くの映画ロケ地をめぐりなど楽しめます。昼食のバイキングも美味しいですよ。

I chose the highest option at 150m, and I was worried it might be scary, but not at all! It was a fun aerial walk, and the staff were friendly, making it enjoyable. If I could make a request, it would be that the meeting point was a bit hard to find, so a map-like explanation would have been helpful. Also, if I had known the price for photo taking from the beginning, I could have paid right away and not kept the driver waiting. But truly, seeing Waikiki from the sky is beautiful. I highly recommend this activity.

一番高い150mを選んだので、怖かったらどうしようと思っていましたが、全然！
全然怖くなくて楽しい空中散歩でした。
係りの人の感じも良くて気持ちよく楽しむことができました。
ただリクエストするとすれば、集合場所が少し分かり辛かったので地図のような説明があったら良かったのと、写真撮影のお値段が最初から分かっていたらすぐにお支払い出来てドライバーさんにお待ち頂くことも無かったかなと思いました。
でも本当に空から見るワイキキは綺麗です。
おすすめのアクティビティです。

Sam was our driver and tour guide. He was very informative and we learned a lot about not just The North Shore but also Hawaii.
We were able to change activities if when we checked them out we changed our mind. Sam explained the activities well and made everyone feel comfortable.

The sandbar was knee-deep in shallow areas. Since I participated in January and there was some wind, it was a bit chilly. I had heard that it could be cold on the boat and in the bus on the way there and back, so I brought a jacket and a towel, which made my luggage a bit heavy, but I was able to store it under the seats on the boat, so it wasn't a problem.

At the snorkeling point, a sea turtle came very close to me! That was the most exciting moment.

サンドバーは、浅いところでは膝丈位でした。1月参加というのと、風もあったのでやや肌寒かったです。
船上や行き帰りのバス内が寒いと聞いていたので、上着をもっていったりタオルを持っていったりと、荷物が多くなってしまいましたが、船上の椅子の下にしまうことができるので問題ありませんでした。

シュノーケルポイントでは、ウミガメがすぐ近くまで現れてくれました！それが一番の感動ポイントでした。

Let me start by saying that everyone was so friendly. My husband was here on a business trip so I came to do this tour on my own. The free transportation they provided went very smoothly. Pick up from my hotel and drop off at the end. One of the reasons I picked this tour group was the guarantee to see whales. Upon arriving, they welcome you and let you know where the lunch buffet is and that you can sit on any floor. The weather was beautiful and the sailing was very smooth. Unfortunately, there were no whales or aquatic life to be seen. At the end of the tour I was given a voucher to come back another day. I came back the next. Unfortunately again, I had the same experience. I found out later from locals that it's hard to see them in major boat trafficking areas. So while I didn't get to see any whales or aquatic life, the trip itself was nice. I was able to converse with other travelers and have some nice water time.

４組のイルカが次々と現れて、ほぼ１００頭ぐらいを近くから見れて最高でした。おまけに鯨や海亀も出てきて、感動。スタッフの人たちも一生懸命に場を盛り上げてくれて楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎたしまいました。日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、ほっとしました。またハワイに行ったら、もう一度参加したいと思います。お勧めです。

I encountered a pod of about 30 dolphins and was able to swim with them up close! I was so moved and excited that I felt like crying underwater. I could even hear the dolphins' calls, and it truly was the best experience of my life.

Considering the price, I believe this experience is worth more than what you pay! The staff, including a funny Japanese lady and other foreign staff, were all really nice and made it so much fun.

It seems that you can't always meet a lot of dolphins every time, but the thrill of the adventure, whether you get to see dolphins or not, is enjoyable enough, especially with the truly beautiful sea and scenery.

During the trip, we also had the chance to go whale watching, and at the snorkeling spot, I encountered several large sea turtles. I was really satisfied!

I heard that due to legal changes, it might not be possible to swim with dolphins directly in the sea this summer, so I hope I can go again before summer. Thank you to all the staff, especially Chinatsu!

30頭程の群れに遭遇して、間近でイルカと泳ぐことができました！感動と興奮で水中で泣きそうになるほどです。水中ではイルカの鳴き声も聞こえて、本当に人生最高の体験ができました。
料金に対して、この体験ができるなら料金以上だと思います！
スタッフは面白い日本人のお姉さんを含め、外国人のスタッフも皆良い人で本当に楽しかったです。
毎回たくさんのイルカに会えるとは限りらないらしいですが、イルカに会えるか会えないかも含めてドキドキしながらの冒険も楽しみと思えるほど本当に綺麗な海と景色に魅了されます。
航海の途中でホエールウォッチングもでき、シュノーケルのスポットでは数頭の大きなウミガメにも出会えました。
本当に大満足でした！
今年の夏には法律の改正で直接海の中でイルカと泳ぐことができなくなるかもしれないらしいので、また夏までに行けたら良いなと思っています。
スタッフの皆さん、チナツさんありがとうございました！
