All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I was a bit anxious since it was an English-speaking driver. It seemed like the meeting point was different, and even after 10 minutes, the driver hadn't arrived. When I tried to contact them, the line was busy. Just when I was starting to think they might not come, the driver called my name loudly, and I was able to get on safely. During the ride, I couldn't understand the announcements at all, and since we were the only Japanese people, I felt a bit isolated, haha. We also received two bottles of mineral water for the round trip! Since it was just a plan to climb, I didn't feel rushed and was able to fully enjoy the scenery and nature. However, I later found out that taking the bus would have been significantly cheaper, which was a good lesson learned.

英語ドライバーという事だったので不安でした。
待ち合わせ場所が違っていたようで10分過ぎても来ず、連絡しても通話中。行けないかもと思っていたらドライバーさんが大きな声で名前を呼んでくれて無事に乗れました。移動中の案内は全くわからず翻訳機能も使えず私たちだけ日本人だったので少し疎外感笑。
ミネラルウォーターも行き帰りで2本いただきました！
登るだけのプランだったので焦ることもなく景色も自然も存分に堪能出来ました。
ただ、バスで行ってたらゼロ一桁安かったと後から知りいい勉強になりました。

We had a great time as a family of four with our two elementary school children. Both my husband and I took turns driving. If you have a driver's license, it's definitely more fun to drive. I was worried about whether my feet would reach the pedals since I'm 148 cm tall, but as long as I pulled the seatbelt tight and sat a bit lower in the seat, it was totally fine. (I think those of us who are shorter are used to making adjustments like that.)

It would be more enjoyable if you can speak English, as you can communicate with the guide. If you can't understand anything at all, it might be good to let them know or to convey that through your demeanor. During the first break, we all introduced ourselves as a group and were asked where we were from and what our travel goals were. I managed to respond with some words that didn't quite form sentences, but they understood me, although it was a bit nerve-wracking. (laughs)

小学生の子供2人と家族4人で楽しめました。
夫婦ともにドライバーで交代して運転。免許があるなら運転もしたほうが楽しいです。私は身長148cmのため足が届くか心配でしたが、シートベルトをしっかり引っ張り出してシートに浅めに腰掛ければ全然大丈夫でした。(そこらへんの工夫は低身長さんなら色々慣れている範囲内かと思います)
英語は話せた方がガイドさんと話せてより楽しめそうです。聞き取りも全くできない場合は、その旨お伝えしておくか雰囲気出しておくと良いかもしれません。最初の休憩でグループ全体で自己紹介がはじまり、どこから来たかと旅の目的を聞かれました。文章にならない単語でなんとか答えて理解いただけましたが少しドキドキしました。笑

Very fun experience being able to drive the UTV through kualoa ranch! The views were very refreshing to see! Taisha and Q kept the experience full of fun and energy while educating us about the land and culture.

The music was fun and a nice chill day on the sand bar!!

I really enjoyed our time at the ranch there is so much to do!!!!

The schedule was changed due to boat maintenance, but I'm glad I participated! The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease! It was my first time doing SUP and I was reassured because they taught me how to do it.

船のメンテナンスのため、日程変更になりましたが、参加してよかったです！スタッフの人日本語できるので安心でした！sup等初めてでしたが、やり方を教えてもらえるので安心でした

I was about 15 minutes late on the day, but I'm grateful that it was still carried out. The staff were handsome, and it was reassuring that there were some who could speak a little Japanese.

当日、15分ほど遅刻してしまったのですが、実施してもらって感謝です。スタッフの方、イケメンでした。日本語少しできる人もいて安心でした

It's powerful and definitely something you should do if you're in Hawaii! Riding around in a buggy is an extraordinary experience, and I think it allows you to enjoy the atmosphere even more.

迫力があって、絶対ハワイにあったら行くべき！バギーで周るってのが非日常的だし、より一層雰囲気を味わえると思う。

It was great to see the whale, but it's disappointing that the boat turned back so soon after. To be honest, I wanted to see it a little longer.

クジラが見えた事はよかったんですが、
その後すぐ船が引き返してしまうのは残念です。もう少し見たかったと言うのは正直なところです。

The weather was great, and the scenery was amazing. The staff was cheerful and very nice. It was good to have many activities to choose from.

It was a bit cold, so snorkeling required some preparation, but I was satisfied to see the beautiful seabed.

Thank you for your hospitality.

天気に恵まれ、風景が最高でした。
スタッフは陽気でとても素敵。
アクティビティもいくつも出来て良かった。

少し寒いのでシュノーケリングは
ちょっと覚悟が必要でしたが綺麗な海底を
みれて、満足しています。

お世話になりました。

The view from above was very nice, and it was a fun experience. There were three adults participating, and it was great to be able to go up in the sky together.

上から見る景色はとても良く、楽しい体験が出来ました。大人3人での参加でしたが、一緒に空に上がることが出来て良かったです

I paddled several times to catch the waves, but it was so much fun and absolutely amazing. When I finally caught a wave, it was even better. The receptionist, who spoke Japanese very well, was incredibly kind. The commemorative photo and video package was $75, and it was a lot of fun.

波に乗るのに、何回も漕ぎますが楽しくて楽しくて最高です。
波に乗れた時は、もっと最高でした。受付の日本語の上手なお姉さん、最高に優しかったです。
記念写真+動画で75ドル、楽しかったです。

We went out to sea on a motorboat, and before we knew it, we were ready to go. Just as I was thinking, "Oh, this is scary," we took off into the sky with a "Yahoo!" It was the best view ever, and I want to do it again. If you come to Hawaii, definitely try flying over Waikiki! 😄 The staff understands Japanese and are very kind. It became a wonderful memory. 😄

モーターボートで沖に行って、あっと言う間に準備完了。
え～怖いななんて思う間もなく、ヤッホーって感じで空に飛び立ちました。
最高の景色でした。またやりたいと思いました。
ぜひ、ハワイに来たらワイキキの空を飛んで見てください😄
スタッフも日本語も分かるし、とても優しいです。いい思い出になりました😄

I participated in Bon Voyage Kobe on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura, and it was great to see whales up close in relatively nearby waters. Unlike Kochi and Okinawa, the waves were lower, so I didn't get seasick, which was a plus.

ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸　田村氏に勧められて参加しましたが割と近海でクジラが近くで見れて良かったです。高知や沖縄と違って波も低めで船酔いしなかったのがよかったです

It was a bit cold since it was the end of March. When the sun shone through the clear skies, I was amazed by the beautiful sea. It was great to take photos at the Floating Island Lounge!

3月末だったので少し寒かったです。晴れ間に太陽が差しむと、とても綺麗な海で驚きました。浮島ラウンジで写真を撮るととても良かったです!

Really fabulous duo tour, our movie guide was so knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious.

This evening was very crowded, not our style but we did like the firework show from the boat.

You are tightly seated within other groups, but regardless of that the crew and entertainment are fantastic.

The Kualoa grounds are breath taking, and the fun added in with the atv was a perfect pair.

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I had a feeling that the impression of Japanese people might not be good, so I somewhat avoided it. However, after actually going, I found that this was completely untrue. I enjoyed it just as much as any other activity.

This time, due to time constraints, I only visited the USS Missouri, but I would like to consider visiting other facilities next time. However, please note that tickets for the Arizona Memorial are on a waitlist online for same-day entry, so you cannot wait in line without a mobile phone.

The USS Missouri itself is full of highlights, and even rushing through, it took quite a bit of time. I was able to understand well what it was like when this ship was in active service.

何度かハワイには来ていますが、日本人に対する印象が良くないかもと思い、何となく敬遠していました。実際に行ってみて全くそんなことはありませんでした。他のアクティビティと何ら変わることなく楽しめました。
　今回時間の制約があったので戦艦ミズーリのみの見学でしたが、次回は別の施設の訪問も検討したいです。ただし、アリゾナ記念館は当日の入場券はネットでの順番待ちなので携帯がないと順番待ちも出来ません。
　実際のミズーリ号は見どころ満載で、駆け足で見て回っても結構時間がかかりました。この艦が現役だった頃の様子が良く分かりました。

I'm glad I went!
Once you buy a ticket, you can enter for three days!
Indeed, with such a wealth of experiences, it seems like it would take three days to fully enjoy everything.
Understanding the schedules for experiences and shows can be overwhelming for first-timers, so I recommend paying the additional fee for a guide; otherwise, it would be hard to enjoy efficiently and you might feel lost! I definitely recommend getting a guide!

The staff is mostly university students from the adjacent campus, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere.
The guide who assisted us was great at explaining in Japanese, and thanks to them, we had a fantastic time! ✨

All the shows and experiences were fun!
With a ticket, you can enjoy everything for free except for meals and the fire show.
If you have kids, I think it's an incredibly fun place.

It was such a great place that I would want to visit for three days!

行ってよかった！
1回チケットを買ったら3日入れるらしい！
たしかに豊富な体験数なので、全制覇は3日かかりそう。
体験やショーのプログラム時間の把握は、豊富すぎて初めての人には厳しいのでガイド追加料金を払って、案内してもらわないと効率よく楽しめないし、わけがわからないと思う！絶対ガイドをつけることをおすすめ！

スタッフは隣接の大学生が8割とのことで、活気があって良い雰囲気だった。
ガイドをしてくれた方も日本語での説明が上手で、彼らのおかげで相当楽しめた✨

ショーも、体験も全部楽しかった！
チケットがあれば、食事とファイヤーショー意外無料で楽しめます。
子供がいたら、楽しすぎる場所だと思う。

3日間通いたいくらい良い場所でした。

The wind was strong and personally a bit scary, but the staff were very friendly and spoke to ease my anxiety, allowing me to have an enjoyable experience. My daughter wanted to try parasailing, so we signed up here, and we were very satisfied.

風が強く個人的にはちょっと怖かったですが、スタッフの皆さんがとてもフレンドリーで不安を和らげるよう声をかけてもらい、楽しく体験することができました。
一緒に行った娘がパラセイリングをしたくでこちらに申し込んだのですが、大満足です。

Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!

After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!

As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!

On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!

There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの辺りに来てもなかなかクジラの姿が見えないので、今日は見ることができないかもと少し諦めた時に、すっごく遠くに潮吹きが見えました。その瞬間、船がクジラの方に向かってすごいスピードで進んでいき、クジラが見える所まで近づいてくれました！
その後も、クジラの泳ぎを遮らないように、並走してくれて、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにクジラを見る方ができました。とても感動した瞬間でした！
船が港へ戻り出した為、他の乗客は船内に戻って行きましたが、ずっとクジラを見ていると、かなり離れていましたが、クジラの大ジャンプを見ることができました！！
帰り途中にも2グループのクジラを見る方ができたので、潮吹きを探してみると良いと思います。
乗船後に提供された軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドもとても美味しく、紅茶やコーヒーと一緒に船内で食べることができました！
クジラの説明など日本語でのアナウンスもきちんとありますので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。生き物ですので毎回見られるとは限りませんが、多少遠くても船が近づいていってくれるので、参加して良かったと思います！

I was able to enjoy many thrilling attractions. The transportation was accompanied by a Japanese attendant, which made me feel at ease.

たくさんの絶叫アトラクションを楽しむことができました。送迎は日本人のアテンドがついていたので、安心できました。

I was worried that my daughter, who easily gets seasick because it's a large ship, might have a hard time, but despite taking motion sickness medication, she ended up feeling sick. 😭 She couldn't even go out on deck and just sat in a chair, waiting for the return to port. I don't know why the medication didn't work, but it was unfortunate, especially since she was looking forward to it more than anyone. 😒

We were able to see whales a few times, although from a distance. 😊👌

大型船なので船酔いし易い娘でも大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにもかかわらず酔ってしまいました😭
デッキにも出られず椅子に座りきりで、ひたすら帰港を待っていました。
なぜ酔い止めが効かなかったのかわかりませんが、気の毒でした。
娘の方が楽しみにしていたので😒

鯨は遠目ですが、何回か見ることができました😊👌

A truly unique experience. As you board the spacious and comfortable bus in Waikiki the staff prepares you for your journey. You are given a virtual reality headset that is adjustable and comfortable. The virtual reality is interactive, and educational. As the bus is moving it actually feels like your body is moving through the experience. The colors, animals, and sounds felt so real!

Would not recommend if you are prone to motion sickness. Would recommend if you are interested in virtual reality, and enjoy a fun ride. Comparable to a smooth rollercoaster.

It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.

From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!

Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!

I participated in February. At first, I was really wondering if I would be able to see them, but I was able to see four of them! When we went out to sea, they stopped the boat's engine and drove slowly and quietly, which allowed us to see two of them up close. I was moved by their size. They seemed to be playing together, possibly a mother and her child or siblings.

Before heading out to sea, we listened to explanations about safety and the characteristics and ecology of humpback whales inside the boat. I read in reviews that there would be staff who spoke Japanese, but it seemed there weren't any when we participated. I was with a friend who spoke English, so she briefly explained the content to me, but I thought it would be nicer if there were written explanations in various languages available (though I could generally understand without them).

The pineapple cake served as a snack was delicious, and I ended up asking for a second helping!

2月に参加しました。初めは本当に見ることができるのかなあと思っていましたが、4頭、本当に見ることができました！　沖に出ると船のエンジン？を止めてゆっくり静かに運転してくれて、それによってそのうち2頭はすぐ間近で見ることができ、大きさを目の当たりにして感動しました。親子なのか兄弟なのか、2頭で遊んでいるようでした。

　出航後沖に出るまでは、船内で、安全についての説明やザトウクジラの特徴や生態についての説明を聞きます。日本語が話せるスタッフがいると口コミに書かれていましたが、私たちが参加した際はいないようでした。英語が話せる友人と一緒だったので、彼女に内容を簡単に教えてもらいましたが、各言語の説明書きなどが置いてあるとより親切かなと思いました。（なくても大体分かりますが）

サービスのパイナップルケーキが美味しくて、おかわりしてしまいました！

We participated as a family.

The crew members were all kind, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, which eased my worries since I had an elementary school child with me. They seemed to have a lot of fun seeing the sea turtles.

Thank you very much.

家族で参加させていただきました。

クルーの方、皆さん親切で日本語スタッフの方もいて、小学生の子供がいて心配でしたが、海亀見れてとても楽しそうでした。

ありがとうございました。

There were some things I didn't quite understand in English, but they kindly explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and the activities themselves were enjoyable and memorable. Thank you! 😊

英語でちょっと理解できないこともありますが、親切にわかりやすく話しもして頂き、アクティビティ自体も楽しく心に残ったアクティビティでした。
ありがとうございました😊
