All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

There was a Japanese-speaking staff member, so I didn't have any anxiety about communication throughout the tour! I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I was informed that I could join the same tour or a tour from the same company for free within two weeks. After that, there might be a discount percentage, but I'm not sure how much... I don't remember until when it applies.

The experience was very enjoyable, but the weather was a bit bad on the day, and the waves were high, so the snorkeling wasn't in very deep areas. It was fun!

日本語対応の日本人の方がいらっしゃったので終始言葉による不安はありませんでした！イルカが見られなかったので、代わりに2週間以内は同じツアーだったか同じ会社のツアーだったかが無料で参加出来るとの事でした。それ以降は何パーセントoffとか？らしいです、、、いつまでだったかは覚えてないです💦
内容はとても楽しかったのですが、当日少し天気が悪く波が高かったのでシュノーケリングはそんなに深いところではなかったです。楽しかったです！

You can have plenty of fun without driving, but I was encouraged by my husband to give it a try at the end, and it was so much fun! I recommend driving for those who have a license!!! (Don't forget that you can't drive without a driver's license.) The guide was very kind and funny. There were several photo spots, and the guide provided explanations, but everything was in English, so please be aware of that. Getting completely covered in sand is also a great memory! I want to go again!

運転しなくても十分に楽しめますが、
旦那に勧められて最後運転してみたら
とっても楽しかったので免許ある方は運転をお勧めします！！！（免許証ないと運転できないので忘れないように）
ガイドさんはとても優しく面白い人でした。
所々で撮影ポイントがあり、ガイドさんが説明をしてくださるのですが全て英語なので注意してください。全身砂だらけになったのもいい思い出です！！また行きたい！！

I was worried because the weather was bad, but the sea was very beautiful and I was able to see a lot of fish! When we said we wanted to see sea turtles, they took us to the sea turtle spot, and I was so happy to see them up close!! There was even a seal unexpectedly!!! The hour flew by, and it was so much fun.

天気が悪くて不安だったのですが、
海の中はとても綺麗でたくさん魚を見ることができました！
私たちがウミガメを見たいと言ったら、ウミガメスポットに連れて行ってくれて、実際に近くで見ることができすごく嬉しかったです！！まさかのアザラシもいました！！！
1時間あっという間でとても楽しかったです。

I was able to enjoy the stunning views of Hawaii, and I'm glad I took a lot of photos! The height of 150 meters was very impressive, and I was extremely satisfied.

ハワイの絶景を味わえて、
写真も沢山とってくれてよかった！
高さも150mととても高くて大満足。

I decided to participate in this activity because I could see the filming locations of Jurassic Park, but I experienced emotions beyond what I had anticipated. Learning about the history of Kualoa Ranch and its conservation efforts from the guide while witnessing Hawaii's great nature made me feel a value that went beyond just being a filming location.

ジュラシック・パークのロケ地を見られるということで参加を決めたアクティビティだったが、予定していたもの以上の感動を味わえた。ガイドによるクアロアランチの歴史や保護活動のことを知った上で見るハワイの大自然は、ロケ地であること以上の価値を感じた。

I was a complete beginner at surfing, but the instructor provided excellent guidance, and I was able to stand up on the board in about 20 minutes. Above all, the experience of surfing at Waikiki Beach was truly irreplaceable.

サーフィンは全くの初心者でしたが、インストラクターが適格に指導してもらい、開始20分くらいで立つことができました。何よりワイキキのビーチでサーフィンできる体験は何よりも代えがたいものでしたね。

Tour was amazing! The crews were awesome. The band, outstanding!

Donuts were great, crew was incredibly friendly and helpful in learning new activities like paddle boarding. We did the optional tubing ride and it was fun (even if it was too much for us and we had to call uncle 😆). Overall great experience!

In November 2023, I signed up for an optional tour to Sandbar with my daughter, but I had to cancel due to health issues. This time, I got my health back in order and participated in the tour. We had a great time with the live music on the boat, and I was excited to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. I'm really glad I joined!

　2023年11月に、娘とサンドバーのオプショナルツアーを申し込んだのですが、体調を崩してキャンセルしました。
　今回は、体調を整えてツアーに参加しました。
　船上ライブで盛り上がり、初めてのSUPで気分が盛り上がりました。
参加して良かったです。

I originally wanted to go whale watching, but I heard that by April, most whales return to migration, so I chose to do a dolphin swim instead.

To my surprise, within just five minutes of departing the harbor, we spotted two whales breaching! They breached more than ten times, and the staff was just as excited as we were.

Instead of just searching for dolphins, they spent about 30 minutes chasing the whales, allowing everyone to see them, and we were able to capture great videos and photos.

After that, we successfully encountered dolphins, but it seemed there was a baby dolphin, and they were quite cautious, so we couldn't swim together.

The staff flexibly adjusted the program, making it a memorable activity for both my partner and me.

もともとホエールウォッチングがしたかったのですが、4月はほとんど回遊に戻ってしまうと聞いて、ドルフィンスイムを選んでいました。
なんと！港を出発して5分も経たないうちにブリーチングしている2頭の鯨を発見！
ブリーチングも10回以上していて、スタッフの方も大興奮でした。
本来はイルカを探しに行くところを、ここで30分くらい鯨を追ってくださったので、全ての人が見ることができ、動画も写真もバッチリ撮れました。
その後イルカとも無事遭遇できましたが、子供のイルカがいたらしく、警戒が強く一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでした。
柔軟にプログラム配分を変えてくださったので、夫婦ともども思い出深いアクティビティになりました。

Our guide was the best person we met throughout all the islands. He made this tour so personal and special, and was great overall.

The tour was so personal, we were so happy to find a company that has private tours for great prices.

Venue threw us off a bit at first, but seating was great and the show blew out of the water.

What a top-tier luau in a beautiful setting at Waimea Valley! Highly recommended

It was a great leaning experience of the beautiful Polynesian culture with a personal connection to the crew.

Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!

I was quite surprised by the height after seeing others, but once I went up, it was surprisingly okay. My Japanese is a bit broken, but it can be understood.

The boat sways quite a bit. The view is amazing!

他の方のを見て 結構な高さに驚いてしまい
ましたが、上がれば意外と大丈夫でした。
片言ですが日本語も通じます

ボート結構揺れます
景色最高です！

We participated as a family of six across three generations. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean and under the blue sky, which was a different perspective from what we usually see from the land. I challenged myself to float in the sky, and it wasn't scary at all; I was able to enjoy it to the fullest. The staff prioritized safety and were full of humor, which made us feel secure while participating. It's truly an enjoyable activity.

ファミリー3世代、6人で参加しました。
天候も良く、日頃陸地から見ているワイキキの街、ダイヤモンドヘッドを、海の上から、そして青空の中から楽しむことができました。
空に浮かぶということがイメージでずにチャレンジしたのですが、怖いこともなく、、存分に楽しむことができました。
スタッフの方々も安全を第一に対応していただき、またユーモアたっぷりで安心して参加できました。
本当に楽しめるアクティビティです。

I woke up at 4:30 AM to join the Hanauma Bay tour. I was picked up at the Ilikai Hotel, and the night broke as we headed towards Hanauma Bay. I lined up as soon as the gates opened at 6:45 AM and got my entry ticket for 7:20 AM. I paid $25 in cash, watched an environmental video, and arrived at the beach around 8:00 AM. I put on the rented wetsuit and entered the sea. I encountered a large school of fish and lost track of time until my pickup at 11:00 AM! It was deeply moving to visit Hanauma Bay for the first time in five years since my visit before the pandemic!

４時半起きでハナウマ湾ツアーに参加。
イリカイホテルでピックアップしてもらい、ハナウマ湾に向かう途中で夜が明ける。
6:45の開門と同時に列に並び、7:20の入場チケットをゲット。1人25ドルを現金で払い、環境ビデオを見て、8:00頃ハナウマ湾のビーチに到着。
レンタルしたウェットスーツを着て海に入る。魚の大群にも遭遇、11時の迎えまで、時間を忘れて楽しみました！
コロナ前の訪問以来、５年ぶりにハナウマ湾を訪れることができて感慨深かったです！

Check-in at the tour desk of the Outrigger Hotel at 11:30. Departed from in front of Halekulani on the Holokai Catamaran.

Before long, we arrived at Turtle Canyon, a few kilometers offshore. Sea turtles were swimming right next to the boat!

I borrowed a mask and fins and went snorkeling while observing the coral reef. I was able to spot sea turtles underwater right away!

After snorkeling, we raised the sails and cruised while enjoying the view of Diamond Head. The sea breeze was very pleasant!

The crew was also very service-oriented, and the kids got to sit at the helm, making it a fun tour!

11:30にアウトリガーホテルのツアーデスクでチェックイン。ホロカイカタマラン号でハレクラニの前から出航。
ほどなく数キロ沖合のタートルキャニオンに到着。船のすぐそばでウミガメが泳いでいる！
マスクとフィンを借りて珊瑚礁を見ながらシュノーケリング。水中でもウミガメをすぐ見つけることが出来ました！
シュノーケリング後は帆を上げて、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらクルージング。海風がとても心地よい！
クルー達もサービス精神旺盛で、子供も船の操縦席に座らせてもらい、楽しいツアーでした！

The two guides were quick and clear in their responses, and I was moved to see various fish and the honu (sea turtle). They considered the tidal conditions and adjusted the location accordingly, which made me feel safe participating. They kindly supported us when my husband and I were running late, and I'm really glad we joined. I felt that I would like to request their services again someday.

ガイドさんお二人の対応もテキパキで分かりやすく様々なお魚そしてホヌも見れ感動しました。
その時の潮の状況に合わせ場所も考え行動して下さり安心して参加出来ました。
私達夫婦が遅れていた時も優しくサポートして下さったり本当参加して良かったです。
またいつかお願いしたいと感じました

It was amazing to see a real magician up close. Also, the talk was wonderful, and it was a show that engaged with the audience. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

本物のマジシャンを近くで見ることが出来て最高でした。
又、トークも素晴らしく、お客様と一体になったショウでした。
また機会があれば行きたいと思います。

We are a 63-year-old and 66-year-old elderly couple, and we are so glad we did it! It feels amazing!! You get the sensation of having the ocean in Waikiki all to yourself.

63歳と66歳の老夫婦ですが、やって良かった！最高の気分です！！
ワイキキの海を独り占めした感覚になりますよ。

It was my first time at Kualoa! I had a great time. Although Japanese is not widely understood, there was a Japanese guide's video on-site, and I was able to drive the buggy without any worries! And the staff were so lively! I was very satisfied with the beautiful nature of Kualoa!

初めてのクアロアでした！楽しかったです。
日本語はほぼ通じませんが、現地でも日本語ガイドのVTRがありバギーも心配なく運転できました！そしてスタッフさんのノリのいいこと！少し足を延ばしてクアロアの大自然！大満足でした！

I was very lucky to see two sea turtles at such a close distance at the same time. The instructor was also incredibly kind and made me feel safe while showing me many fish.

すごい近い距離で、同時に2匹ウミガメを見る事ができて、とってもラッキーでした。
インストラクターさんも最高に親切で安心して沢山の魚をみせてくれました

Staff were super friendly, fun and down to earth.

The boat and sandbar experience was 10/10! I highly highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. We also paid an extra $20 USD per person for a banana boat ride and that was probably the highlight of the experience. It was SO FUN! The staff was incredible and so nice and fun. There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though). Such a fun time and the highlight of my trip.

There are three slides for small children, but one has been closed for some reason for a week. The other one is for one person, so my child was too scared to ride it alone, and the last one was closed when we went. I thought it wasn't operating, but I was informed by a staff member just before closing time that it would open at 2 PM, even though it was supposed to be open until 3 PM. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it in time, and my child ended up crying because we were looking forward to it but couldn't ride any of them. I also saw other children who couldn't ride and were crying while their mothers were comforting them. We have a reservation to go again during our stay, but since it's within a week, I don't think we'll be able to ride them. If the schedule could be communicated on the website in advance, it would help us bring our child after explaining the situation, minimizing disappointment. Given the high expectations, I think the shock of this situation is significant for children. 😢 Lunch took a long time to be served unless you lined up early. Even though there were few visitors the other day, it still took a long time for some reason. 😥

小さい子ども用のスライダーが3つ有るのですが1つがなぜか1週間閉鎖との事。他の1つは1人用なので1人では怖がって乗れず、もう1つは行った際には閉鎖していたのでやっていないかと思っていたら3時までの営業なのに、なぜか2時まで閉鎖していて2時からオープンしていたと閉園時間の直前にスタッフの方から教えて頂いたのですが結局間に合わず楽しみにしていたのにどれも乗れずじまいで子供が泣いちゃいました。よそのお子さんもやっぱり乗れなくて泣いていてお母さんがなだめているのを見かけました。滞在中にもう一度行く予定で予約していますが1週間以内なのでおそらく乗れないと思います。事前にその辺のスケジュールをホームページでお知らせ頂ければ子供を納得させた上で連れて行けるのでガッカリも最小限に抑える事が出来るのになと思いました。楽しみが大きい分、その辺のショックは子供にとっては大きいと思いました😢ランチは早めに並ばないと提供にメチャクチヤ時間がかかりました。先日も来園者は少なかったのになんでかとにかく時間がかかりました。😥

I received detailed explanations and rules in Japanese, and even though most of the participants were from Europe and America, I felt comfortable joining in! The water temperature was still a bit chilly, but the sunny weather made it pleasant to spend time there! The crew also spoke to us in Japanese, which was heartwarming! I plan to visit again right in the middle of the season next time!

日本語で細かい説明やルールなどお話ししていただき、他の参加者はほとんど欧米の方でしたがその中でも安心して参加できました！
まだ水温が若干冷たかったのですが、晴れてくれたので気持ちよく過ごせました！クルーの方も日本語で話しかけてくれてほんわかしました！次回はシーズン真っ只中に訪れたいと思います！

The staff was amazing. So welcoming and so fun. They made us feel like family and took care of us the whole time. I highly recommend.
