All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

For about two hours, my husband was driving while I sat in the passenger seat, and it was incredibly fun! I wore a helmet, goggles, and a bandana covering my mouth, so my whole face was covered, but the dust was intense, and my face ended up completely black, with my clothes covered in dust as well. However, it was a unique experience that I was very satisfied with!

約２時間、主人が運転で、私は助手席でしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
ヘルメットかぶってゴーグルもして、口をおおうバンダナもいただき顔全体をおおってましたが、砂ほこりがすごく顔も真っ黒で洋服も全てほこってましたが、なかなかできない体験だったので満足でした！

It was my first time on Kauai Island, and it was a fun day with a new Hawaiian experience. Waimea Canyon and Spouting Horn were great, but on the cruise, I got to listen to Hawaiian music and watch local dances, which made me feel immersed in the ancient dynasty. The food was also delicious with many options to choose from.

カウアイ島は始めてでしたが、新しいハワイの体験が出来て楽しい一日でした。ワイメア渓谷や潮吹き岩も良かったが、クルーズでは、ハワイアンを聞きながら地元の方のダンスも観られ古代王朝の気分に浸れました。食事も選択肢が多く美味しかったです。

I was anxious about taking my elementary school children, who are not great swimmers, but they were so absorbed in searching for fish in the beautiful sea that they eagerly moved forward and had a lot of fun. As a mother with limited stamina, I could barely keep up. Although I chose the tour, my family was very satisfied, and it became the most wonderful experience of our stay in Hawaii.

I didn't reserve wetsuits in advance, but I was advised that they not only help with cold protection but also reduce the risk of injury, so I rented one on the day. I was glad I did, as I ended up bumping my feet.

Dan and Chieko were great people, and it was a lovely tour. Thank you very much.

泳ぎの得意ではない小学生の子供達を連れて
不安がありましたが、綺麗な海での魚探しに夢中でグイグイ前に進む、とても楽しんでくれました。体力のない母は着いて行くので精一杯。私が選んだツアーでしたが、家族は大満足でハワイ滞在中の1番素敵な体験となりました。
事前にウェットスーツは予約しませんでしたが、寒さ対策だけでなく、怪我しにくいと勧めていただき、当日レンタルしましたが、実際足をぶつけたりしたので着ていて良かったです。
ダンさん、ちえこさんの人柄が良く雰囲気の良いツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 7-year-old child. We chose the higher option, but we were able to enjoy it. We received many photos with big smiles, which became a nice memory. I was unclear about what the selectable free perks were.

7歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました。
高い方にしましたが、楽しく参加することができました。
満面の笑みの写真もたくさんいただき記念になりました。
選べる無料特典が何なのか不明でした。

The comfortable boat navigation prevented any seasickness. The staff were cheerful, fun, and entertaining. I was nervous before flying, but once in the air, the beautiful scenery was overwhelming. I was deeply moved by the breathtaking views that made me forget my fears. I would love to participate again.

快適な船操縦で船酔いもありませんでした。スタッフの方も明るく楽しく面白かったです。飛ぶ前は緊張しましたが、飛べば素敵な景色ざんまい。怖さを飛び越し素晴らしい景観に感動しきりでした。また参加したいです。

It was thrilling and the best experience. I didn't expect it to be this much fun before participating. I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii.

スリルがあって最高でした
参加前はこんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした
またハワイに行ったら必ずまた参加します

Captain shyla, Rivas and jesse, Preston and guy....the whole crew are top notch people.
Always a great time and we will be back.

The weather was nice, and it was great to see many sea turtles up close. In November, it's better to wear a wetsuit. I recommend it for kids.

気候も良く海ガメを近くでたくさん見れてよかったです。11月はウェットスーツを来た方がいいです。子供におすすめです。

I would like to make this post in respect for the instructor. The prior communication and consultation, as well as the responses, were accurate and kind, which made me feel at ease even before traveling to the United States. My child, who cannot swim, gave up halfway, but they still did their best to accommodate us (thanks to them, my child was able to see a turtle and seemed very satisfied). There were no negative aspects, including safety, so I can confidently recommend this tour to anyone.

インストラクターさんに敬意を表する意味でも投稿をいたします。
事前連絡、相談、それに対する回答も的確かつ親切で、渡米前から安心することができました。
泳げない我が子は途中でギブアップしましたが、それでもできる限りの対応をして頂きました（我が子はおかげさまで亀も見れて大満足だった様子です）
安全面を含めマイナス要素はありませんでしたので、どのような方にも間違いなくオススメのツアーです。

Since it was a weekday, it was quite empty, and we could slide down all those slides without any waiting time! The kids were so happy. I want to go again!

平日だったこともあって、かなり空いててあんなスライダーこんなスライダーが待ち時間なしで滑り放題！子供達大喜びでした。また行きたい！

Riding in a submarine and seeing the underwater world was an exciting experience for both adults and children. The kids especially seemed to enjoy understanding the differences compared to an aquarium during the boarding process. Additionally, the friendly staff made it a fun experience.

潜水艦に乗り海底海中を見れるのは大人も子供もドキドキ経験でした。特に子供たちは水族館との違いを乗船過程で分かったようで楽しんでいました。それとスタッフのフレンドリーな対応が楽しかったです。

One of the very best tours I’ve ever been on. A must see/do activity while on Oahu. Johnny and Ikaika were super fun and informative guides. Thank you for the best time!

I booked a trip with Dolphin University, but I received a call the evening before saying that they couldn't secure my reservation because they were busy. They asked if I could change my pickup time from 5:30 PM to 11:00 AM. Since I had plans in the afternoon, I inquired about cancellation fees, and the response was vague, saying, "It's not decided yet." I was left waiting for a call without knowing when it would come, and when I called back internationally, they told me to switch to Dolphin Junior High. I was informed that the boat would not have a slide and that swimming with dolphins would be different.

Since I had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with me, I was anxious about how the changes would affect us, but they said, "The children's feelings will determine if they can swim."

When we actually went, the boat was quite small, and the waves were high, making it impossible for the kids to swim with the dolphins, so we ended up watching from the boat. Additionally, the dolphins were in the middle of raising their young and swam away. (This is understandable, but the dolphin swim at Dolphin University should have ended by the end of October.)

Fortunately, the child who is prone to seasickness did not get sick, but it was disappointing that the 4-year-old couldn't enjoy it much due to the small boat.

Also, the instructions for entering the water were all in English, possibly because our family was the only Japanese group, which made me anxious as I had to act as an interpreter.

I wouldn't recommend this tour for those who are not used to such experiences or who are not comfortable with sudden changes. Personally, I was satisfied to see the dorsal fins of the dolphins and to go snorkeling, but I can't help but wonder how it would have been at Dolphin University. Given the size of the boat and the scale of the tour, I felt the price was high (even considering the weak yen).

イルカ大学を予約しましたが、前日夕方に電話があり、遊んでいたために取れなかったため、折り返すと、5時半ピックアップではなく、11時のものに変更できないかという打診でした。午後の予定を入れていたため、キャンセル料がかかるのかなど聞くと、「まだ決定したわけではないから」と歯切れの悪い返事。また、電話すると言われていつ頃かもわからない電話を待ち、また取れずにこちらから国際電話で再度折り返すと、「イルカ中学に変更してください。」と。スライダーがない船になることと、イルカと泳げるという点が異なると言われました。
4歳と6歳が一緒だったので、変更がどうなるか不安でしたが、「お子様の気持ち次第で泳げます」と。
実際行くと、かなり小さなボートで波がかなり高い場所でイルカと泳ぐのは子供は無理そうだったため、船から見学した。また、イルカは子育て中であり、逃げてしまった。（これは仕方ないが、そもそもイルカ大学のドルフィンスイムは10月末で終わっていたはず）
酔いやすい子供が酔わなかったのは幸いだったが、船も小さく、4歳はあまり楽しめていなかったのが残念だった。
また、入水時の説明が、日本人が私達家族だけだったからか、全て英語で、私が通訳のように説明しなければならなかったのが不安だった。
このようなツアーに慣れていない方や、突然の変更に慣れない方にはおすすめしません。
個人的にはイルカの背鰭が見学できて、シュノーケリングができて満足しましたが、イルカ大学だったらどうだったのか・・・と考えてしまいます。また、この内容（ボートの大きさやツアー規模）だとしたらダイビングでもなくこの値段はお高く感じました。（円安を考慮しても）

This time, I challenged myself to parasailing (150m), and it was thrilling! It had just the right amount of fear, not quite like a roller coaster, and I had a lot of fun.

今回はパラセーリング(150m)にチャレンジしてきましたが、迫力もあるしジェットコースターのような怖さまで行かないぐらいのちょうどいい感じの怖さでめっちゃ楽しかったです。

The live music, the whole setup and all the activities. Top notch.

It was my first time in Hawaii for my parents' 60th birthday celebration. My mother had been saying she wanted to try parasailing, so we chose this place because of its good reviews!

The meeting point is within walking distance from the Sheraton Hotel. Walking along the coast was pleasant, and it felt like no time at all.

In the end, both my parents and my husband and I were very satisfied! We created another precious family memory.

The staff mixed in some Japanese while getting everyone excited, and they took a lot of photos for us!

Seeing Hawaii from the sky was magnificent and beautiful. It was moving to see Diamond Head, which we had just climbed in the morning, from the same perspective. Looking down, the deep blue ocean spread out below, and I felt the beauty of nature.

It rises higher than I imagined, so I think those who enjoy it will have a great time! It truly is a wonderful memory!

両親の還暦でのお祝いで初めてのハワイでした。
母がやりたい！と言っていたパラセーリング、せっかくなら口コミの良いところを！とここを選びました。

集合場所まではシェラトンホテルからも歩いて行ける距離です。
海沿いを歩くので心地よく、あっという間でした。

結果、両親も私たち夫婦も大満足！
大切な家族の思い出がひとつ増えました。

スタッフの方は日本語を混ぜながら盛り上げてくれて、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました！

空から見るハワイは雄大で美しく
朝登ったばかりのダイヤモンドヘッドを
同じ目線で見ることができ、感動的でした。
また下を見ると深い青が広がっていて、
自然の美しさを感じました。

想像より高く高く昇るので、
好きな方はかなり楽しめると思います！
本当に素敵な思い出です！！

I had some concerns about the language barrier, but after arriving, the explanations and activity descriptions were provided in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the activities without any issues. Also, being able to drive myself and visit various locations was very enjoyable, and the scenery was amazing everywhere! While I couldn't take photos while driving, it was great that we could stop at various photo spots along the way.

言語面での不安がありましたが、到着後の説明やアクテビティの説明も日本語でしてくださったので、問題なくアクテビティに望めました。また、自身で運転してロケ地巡りできるのもとても楽しく、景色がどこも最高でした！
運転中は撮影できませんが、ところどころ写真スポットにて止まることができるので、そこもよかったです。

During my stay, there were many days with strong winds, so the original reservation date was canceled, but I was able to smoothly reschedule for the next day through Veltra. It seemed like the wind was not much different from the previous day, and the time was pushed back from my original reservation, but I was glad that it was held successfully.

When I made the reservation, I was worried about two things:
- I didn't know how we would start flying, and if it felt like bungee jumping, I might be too scared to do it.
- It might be over too quickly and I wouldn't feel satisfied.

But in conclusion! It wasn't scary at all! It was super fun and I was very satisfied!

At the start of the flight, we began to float up from a seated position on the deck of a small boat, so I was relieved that there was no fear of not being able to go.

In the air, the magnificent ocean and sky, along with the distant view of Diamond Head and the beach, were incredibly beautiful. Being at an unbelievable height, feeling the wind, I was exhilarated and a little scared at the same time. Before doing it, I was worried that it might be over in an instant, but I felt like we were flying for about 15 minutes. Since it was a day with slightly stronger winds, there were times when I was blown sideways or suddenly gained altitude, and I even thought, "Please let me down!" It didn't feel short at all, and I really enjoyed it.

滞在中、風が強い日が多かったため本来の予約日は中止になりましたが、ベルトラを通してスムーズに翌日へリスケジュールができました。
翌日も前日とそう変わらない風だったような気がするし、予約した時間より後ろ倒しになりましたが無事に開催になってよかったです。

予約時は
・どうやって飛び始めるのかわからないけどなんかバンジーみたいな感じだったら怖くて無理かも
・あっという間すぎて満足感ないかも
という2点を心配していましたが、結論！
怖くない！めっちゃ楽しくて大満足！でした！

飛び始めは、小船のデッキに座った状態からぶわっと浮き始めるので怖くて行けないとかなくてよかったです。

空中では雄大な海と空、遠くに見えるダイヤモンドヘッドやビーチがとっても綺麗で、ありえない高さから生身で風に煽られて、爽快さと少しの怖さに大はしゃぎしてしまいました。
やる前は 結構一瞬なのかな？と心配してましたが、体感15分くらいは飛んでいたように思います。風が少し強めの日だったので、横からの風に流されたり不意に高度が上がったりした時は もう降ろしてくれ…！とさえ思うくらい 全然短く感じなくて、すごく満喫しました。

The food was, of course, excellent, and the service and hospitality were top-notch. The rich pasta was exquisite! The flavors of the fresh ingredients spread throughout, filling my heart as well. I will definitely be coming back.

料理は勿論、サービスや接客も質が高く
最高でした。
濃厚なパスタが絶品！新鮮な食材の旨味が広がり、心まで満たされました。
リピート確定です。

Since I joined the 7:20 tour, there were still few people at the beach, and I was able to find a good spot. The seawater in November is cold, and on this day, the wind was strong and it even rained at times, making it feel even colder. I was glad to see a lot of fish.

Although it's not due to this tour, it's unfortunate that Hanauma Bay has become reservation-only, which means you can't decide to go based on the weather on the day of your visit. By the way, it was sunny during my stay except for the day of the tour.

7:20の回で入れたので、まだビーチに人が少なくていい場所が取れました。
11月の海水は冷たく、この日は風が強くて途中雨も降っていたので尚更寒く感じました。
魚はたくさん見れたので良かったです。

このツアーのせいではないのですが、ハナウマ湾自体が予約制になったことで当日の天気で行くことを判断できなくなってしまったのが残念です。
ちなみに参加日以外の滞在期間は晴れていました。

Was a great crew, great area. The captain and crew are extremely accommodating and proficient! Highly recommend!

As the ship sets sail, the onboard events begin, and a fun time starts. This is the perfect event for those who want to enjoy a culturally rich journey.

出航と共に船内のイベントが始まり楽しい時間が始まります。
国際色豊かに旅を楽しみたい方にはうってつけのイベントです。

The staff was funny and amazing. the views were beautiful. and the excursion was so much fun. would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Everything was fine. However, no pick up from the hotel in Honolulu and no drop off after returning was a poor service.

I boarded three times before the COVID-19 pandemic. The atmosphere was nice, and there were staff members who could speak Japanese. I was really looking forward to this trip to Hawaii after a long time, but the staff prioritized foreign guests and were not friendly towards Japanese guests. The drinks I ordered took over 30 minutes to arrive, and they didn't even ask if I wanted a refill on the bread. The only saving grace was the beautiful fireworks from Hilton. Overall, I'm just disappointed.

コロナ禍前に3回乗船しました。
雰囲気も良く、日本語も出来るスタッフもいました。今回久しぶりのハワイでとっても楽しみにしてましたが、スタッフは外人のゲストファーストで、日本人には愛想無し。頼んだドリンクは30分以上来ない。パンのおかわりさえ聞かない。唯一ヒルトンの花火が綺麗だった事が救い。
とにかく残念の一言

From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience! The entertainment and the food were exceptional, as was the hospitality. I highly recommend this event.

The sudden downpour soaked my pants, but it actually boosted my spirits. I was half in a reckless mood... haha.

夕立ち、大雨でパンツまでビショビショでしたが、かえってテンション上がりました。
半分ヤケクソで‥‥　笑

we had an amazing time at The Sandbar. we enjoyed playing volleyball. The staff was amazing! and the captain was absolutely awesome. it was our favorite excursion of our trip in Hawaii.

Hanauma Bay itself was a small beach, but I felt the importance of coexistence with nature as there were seals, and the fish didn't swim away. It was a wonderful experience. Additionally, I was able to communicate with people from various countries and generations, which made for enjoyable memories.

ハナウマベイ自体はこじんまりとしたビーチでしたが、　あざらしがいたり、魚は逃げないし、自然との共存、大切さを感じられました。
素晴らしい体験でした。
また、現地喉方対応で様々な国の方、世代の方達とコミュニケーションが取れて楽しい思い出となりました。

I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guider is so nice, and organized very well, cared every person in the group, answered questions patiently. Also, the tour planned itself is excellent, no hurry, enough time for each activities, especially for seniors.

Thank you!
