All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We didn't see any whales, but we had a great time. The naturalist on board was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal about whales.
The weather was pretty good. We had clear views of Honolulu -- Waikiki and Diamond Head.
The process to check in and check out was smooth and fast.

This is my first visit since elementary school. After learning about the nostalgia and history, the tour is a completely different experience. You can also visit the surrender deck, and although the signing documents are replicas, you can see them. This is the only place where you can meet heroes who participated in the Gulf War. Don't worry about your wife or girlfriend's expressions; just keep moving forward. Make sure to make a reservation.

小学生以来の訪問。懐かしさと歴史を一通り学んだ後の、見学では一味も二味も違う。
サレンダーデッキも見学でき、調印文章も複製ではあるが、みることができる。湾岸戦争まで参加している英雄に会うことができるのはここしかない。奥さんや彼女の顔色を伺ってはいけない、ひたすら前進あるのみ。予約するべし

There were about 50 people in the audience for the second stage we attended. Many were couples and families with small children, and there were six of us from Japan in our group. Basically, the show proceeded in English until the explanation before the performance, but during the magic acts, explanations were also provided in Japanese, so even with our middle school-level English vocabulary, we were able to enjoy it thoroughly.

The magician, Shoot (Japanese), said that as a child, he admired Captain Tsubasa and practiced soccer by the river, but before he knew it, he was looking for stones to practice magic.

The show was wonderful and has become one of our cherished memories of Hawaii!

私たちが参加したセカンドステージの観客は50人くらい。カップルや小さなお子さんを連れた家族連れが多く、日本人は私達のグループの6名でした。基本的にショーの前説明までは英語で進みますが、マジック中は日本語で説明も付け加えてもらえるので、中学生レベルの英単語力しか無い私達でも十分に楽しめました。

マジシャンのシュートさん(日本人)は、子供の頃はキャプテン翼に憧れて河原でサッカーの練習していたけど、気づけばマジックの練習に使う石ころを探していたそうです。

ショーも素晴らしく、ハワイの思い出の一つに残りました！

The staff members are very cheerful, and you can tell they are trying to entertain us. They understand Japanese to some extent, so I don't think there will be any issues. It can be a bit chilly during the rainy season, so a jacket is essential.

スタッフの方達がとても陽気で、こちらを楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わる。
日本語もある程度伝わるので、困る事もないと思います。
雨季だと少し寒いので、上着は必須です。

You can see wonderful scenery. There are several stops where the guide provides explanations, but everything is in English, so those who do not speak English may not understand the content at all. Since there is a lot of dust, it's recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

素晴らしい景色を見れます。
いくつかのポイントで停車して、ガイドの方が説明をしてくれますが、全て英語なので英語が出来ない方は説明の内容が一切わからないと思います。
砂埃がすごいので、汚れても良い服装がオススメです。

I experienced parasailing, banana boat, and bumper tube. The staff at the reception spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease! During the experience, there was a foreigner who understood a little Japanese. However, there were no issues since the important parts were communicated in Japanese.

We started with parasailing, followed by the banana boat and bumper tube. It seems that parasailing uses a different boat! The banana boat, bumper tube, and jet ski were all on the same boat.

It was much more intense than doing it in Japan, and I had a really great time! While waiting during parasailing, I took a lot of pictures of the scenery. I noticed that standing up wasn’t frowned upon at all, which made me realize again how different it is from Japan.

They even told jokes, and although I was anxious about doing activities abroad, it ended up being really fun. Next time, I want to try jet skiing!

パラセーリング、バナナボート、バンパーチューブ
この３つを体験しました。
受付の方は日本語ペラペラで安心しました！
体験中は日本語が少しわかる外国人の方でした。でも全然大切な部分は日本語通じるので問題なしです。

まずはパラセーリングからの体験でその後バナナボート、バンパーチューブでした。
パラセーリングだけは船が違うみたいです！
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ、ジェットスキーは一緒の船でした。

日本でやるよりもかなり激しくて本当に楽しかったです！
パラセーリング中も自分が待機時間の時は景色をたくさん撮ってました。立っても全然怒られなくて日本とは違うんだなーと改めて感じました(^^)

ジョークを言ってくれたり、海外でアクティビティをやるのが不安でしたが本当に楽しく終われました。
今度はジェットスキーやってみたいです！

I participated in whale watching for the first time!
While cruising, I was able to enjoy some drinks and the scenery was amazing! ✨✨
I saw the whales spouting water and their tails from a bit of a distance!!
I thought I would be able to see them a little closer, but since they are wild animals, I understand that it's unpredictable. Still, the atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun!!

The restrooms on the boat aren't usually very clean and can be hard to access, but this boat had clean restrooms, so I felt comfortable even while drinking!
I would love to participate again someday!!

初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました！
クルージングしながらお酒も飲めて景色も最高でした✨✨
クジラは少し遠くで潮を吹くところやテールを見ることができました！！
もう少し近くで観れると思っていましたが、自然の生き物の事なので、予想がつかないのも仕方がないな〜と思いつつ、雰囲気はとても良く楽しむことができました！！

船でのおトイレは綺麗なところがあまりなく、なかなか行きにくいですが、こちらの船は綺麗なトイレでお酒を飲んでも安心でした！
またいつか参加してみたいです！！

Absolutely wonderful experience. Must try the banana boat ride for an opportunity to see giant sea turtles. We saw like 20. So beautiful. The music was fantastic. Thank you all so much 🌺❤️🌈

The performance was outstanding , they were engaging from the moment you walked in and out. The food taste good however was cold with exception to the pork and chicken thighs were hot, but sweet potatoes, noodles and rice were cold and we had Royal package and first in line to eat so I was surprised to have those few items cold, the rolls were so delicious so grab 2

It was the best party, with only Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly. The staff was also kind and attentive. This was my second time, and it was great again.

日本人は私達ONLY。でも、とてもFRIENDLYなパーティーで最高でした。
スタッフも優しく丁寧でした。
２回目でしたが今回も最高でした。

I could tell there were whales, but I couldn't see them very well. The staff provided warm hospitality, making my experience enjoyable. The banana cake for a light snack had a homemade feel and was delicious. You can choose between tea and coffee.

鯨がいるのは分かりますが、あまりよく見えませんでした。スタッフの方々はあたたかいおもてなしで気分良く過ごすことができました。軽食のバナナケーキも手作りの感じがあって美味しかったです。紅茶がコーヒーが選べます。

One of our favorite events of the week. Crew was funny and professional. Beach volleyball was super fun. We saw two turtles while snorkeling! Also wonderful that they have a free shuttle for dropoff and pickup

A wonderful word: the sea. You can overlook the entire town, and it feels great. I definitely recommend it. Experiencing it firsthand is much more amazing than just seeing it from land.

素敵の一言　海　街を全て見渡し　気持ちの良さ　是非おすすめします。　陸から見るより実際に経験すると素晴らしい経験が出来ます。

The friendly service from the staff was impressive. The food was also wonderful and delicious. Recently, due to age, there are times when I can't finish a course meal, but both my husband and I finished everything. We will definitely go again on our trip to Hawaii!

気持ちの良いスタッフの接客が印象的です。料理も素晴らしく美味しかったです。最近年齢とともにコース料理を食べきれない事があるのですが夫婦揃って完食しました。ハワイ旅行の際は必ず行きます！

The previous day's bad weather may have caused rough waves, and although I was able to see a few turtles, there were not many fish. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it.

前日が悪天候だったためか、波が荒くて魚も少し亀が何とか見れたけど、自然相手だから仕方がないけど、残念でした。

It was cold since we left early in the morning. The bus had the air conditioning on, so it was a good decision to bring a long-sleeved shirt. The cruise was comfortable, and we were able to see sea turtles and whales. It was a pity we didn't see any dolphins, but it was great to see the whales since they are only available in winter!

朝早く出発だったので、寒かったです。
バスも冷房が効いていたので、長袖持っていって正解でした。
クルーズは快適、ウミガメと、クジラが見れました。
イルカは残念でしたが、クジラの方が冬限定なので、見れて良かったです！

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).

この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを１度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを１度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか？あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか？疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです（コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・）

Husband was a US Navy vet and wanted to make sure he paid his respects at the Memorial. Had just enough time and we're not rushed.

My family loved this tour. The activities we fun and well managed. Kevin was a great tour guide.

My husband and I participated in this trip for our honeymoon.

Thanks to the favorable weather, the boat didn't sway, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the water.

As for the whales, we were able to see them multiple times during the trip. However, they were all quite far away, and we could only see their spouts and a bit of their black backs and tails. I think it was great just to see them, but if I had to say something, I wish we could have seen them a little closer.

新婚旅行で夫と2人で参加しました。

天気に恵まれたため船が揺れることもなく、綺麗な海や海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めることができました。

肝心のクジラですが、乗船中何度も見ることができました。しかしいずれも遠いところで、潮吹きと黒い背中と尾鰭が少し見える程度。姿を見ることができただけでも良かったのだと思いますが、強いて言えば、もう少し近くで見れると良かったなと思います。

The instructor was cheerful and really got everyone excited, which made it a lot of fun. I thought the wind before taking off might be scary, but once I was in the air, it was completely not scary and very enjoyable. I wished I could have flown for a longer time!

インストラクターの方が陽気な方で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しめました。
飛ぶ前の風が強く感じて怖いかなと思いましたが、飛び上がってしまえば全く怖くなく、楽しかったです。
もっと長時間飛んでいたかったです！

I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!

The water was murky because the wind was strong. The explanatory video about the sea that you must watch before entering is only a few minutes long. It's better to wait at the exit. Once you leave, you can immediately take the free shuttle.

風が強かったので水が濁っていた。海に入る前に見る海の説明ビデオは数分ですが必ず見ないといけません。出口で待っていた方が良いです。出たらすぐ送迎の無料トラックに乗ることができます。

We went out to sea in a boat with a few groups and had a little boat riding experience, followed by parasailing in turns. We set up the parachute from the boat and took off from the moving boat. Gradually, the rope is extended, and we float up. The price varies depending on the length of the rope, and I chose the longest one at 150m. However, since we were moving in the boat, I couldn't tell if we actually reached 150m in height, but as you can see in the photos, it was really high. Of course, there’s no sound while flying. The flight lasts a few minutes, but it feels much longer.

As we ascended, my excitement grew, and I felt it was definitely worth it. Since I was holding my smartphone, I had to connect it to my arm with a strap; if I dropped it, I wouldn't be able to retrieve it from the sea. Be careful!

何組か一緒にボートで沖まで行き、ちょっとしたボートの乗船体験もでき、順番にパラセーリングです。船の上からパラシュートをセットして、走るボートの上から飛び立ちます。徐々にロープを伸ばして行きフワッと飛び立ちます。ロープの長さで金額が違いますが、私は1番長い150mを選択。でもボートで走りながらの為高さが150mなのか、斜めに上がる為分かりませんが、、、写真でもわかる様にすごく高いです。勿論飛んでる時は音がしません。数分のフライトですが、すごく長く感じます^_^
上がるとテンションも上がり、やって良かったなと、実感します。スマホを持ちながらなので腕にひもを繋いでないと、落としたら海なので探せません。ご注意を！

I was worried, but I'm glad I was able to see the whales properly. The explanations in Japanese were easy to understand. I recommend it.

心配でしたが、クジラがちゃんと見られてよかったです。日本語の説明もあって分かりやすかったです。オススメです。

It was thrilling, and I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii. The instructors and the boat operators were fun people, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling scared!

スリル満点、次回のハワイでも必ず参加したいです、インストラクターの方、船の操縦の方も楽しい方達で恐怖を感じる事なく楽しめました〜

It was amazing!
The clarity of the water, the variety and size of the fish were truly impressive!
I even got to meet a honu and swim with it!

My English is at a basic education level, and that's fine.
The guide speaks slowly to make it easy to understand.
While driving, they introduce recommended shops.
We stopped at a parking area for a location explanation, then had time for a briefing on how to use the snorkel, swimming precautions, and ordering additional rental items.
We rented a boogie board, but other parties rented life jackets.

最高でした
透明度、魚の種類、大きさ本当に見応えがあります！
ホヌとも出会えて一緒に泳ぐことができました！！

英語は義務教育レベルで問題ないです。
ガイドさんがわかりやすいようにゆっくり話してくれます。
運転中はおすすめのお店の紹介。
一旦パーキングに止めてロケーションの説明の後シュノーケルの使い方遊泳時の注意、追加のレンタル品のオーダーの時間がありました。
うちはブギーボードレンタルしましたが、他のパーティはライフジャケットをみんなレンタルしてました。

A Japanese person named Momo guided us through the battleship Missouri. She was very kind and attentive. I was able to deeply feel the history, and it was a great experience.

戦艦ミズーリの中を、日本人のモモさんという方が案内してくれました。とても親切で丁寧でした。
歴史をじっくり感じられ、良い体験をしました。

My husband and I did the side by side tour and it was nothing short of amazing! The views were breathtaking and the tour guide was so knowledgeable about the land and gave fun facts about Hawaii and surrounding areas. At each stop the tour guides made sure everyone got their pictures and were willing to lend a hand in getting the best pictures of your group. Next time we will have to bring our kids and plan to do more activities at the ranch. We could have spend a whole day, or two doing it all. The property was clean and well managed and the air conditioned bathrooms were a plus! We would 10/10 recommend this activity!

We went to Hawaii and we loved it there. Now sandbar Hawaii at another level. Everything is including paddle boards, snorkeling, canoeing and you get live music and food. This was the cherry on top of our trip don’t plan on going without making this trip.
