All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I was able to make a reservation without any issues even at the last minute. It was a bit scary, but I made great memories in Hawaii. All the staff spoke English, but I was able to understand them somehow, which was good.

直前でも問題なく予約ができました。
少し怖かったですが、ハワイのいい思い出ができました。
スタッフ方は全員英語でしたが、なんとなく理解ができよかったです。

The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.

初ノースショア、さすがチャンピオン大会が開催されるだけありもの凄い大波に感動。SUP中にウミガメにも遭遇。良いツアーでした。

I previously went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, and it became one of my favorite places, so I returned. Riding around in a buggy through nature is truly amazing! We stopped at movie filming locations where they provided explanations in English. Since you'll get really dirty with dust, I recommend wearing clothes you don't mind throwing away! (laughs)

クアロアランチでは過去乗馬をしたのですが、その際とってもお気に入りの場所になり再訪。
バギーに乗って自然の中を走り回るのは本当に最高です！
映画のロケ地では止まって英語で説明をしてくれました。
砂埃にまみれてめちゃくちゃ汚れるので、捨ててもいい服で参加することをおすすめします！笑

The tour meets at a local spot, and it's easy to find since it's next to the Hilton Lagoon. We were taken out to sea by cheerful staff members. There were three groups of Japanese guests at the same time, so while others were flying, we waited on the boat, but it can sway with the waves, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

We wore life vests and safety gear, which the staff helped us with. They asked if we wanted photos before flying. After getting off the boat, they transferred the photos they took to our smartphones and also provided an SD card on the spot for $40 per group. We decided to purchase it.

The view of Waikiki Beach from the sky was wonderful. It was a clear day, perfect for parasailing. The wind was strong, so it swayed more as we gained altitude. Flying in Hawaii was amazing! The flight time went by in an instant. I felt like a kite, and I had a lot of fun!

現地集合のツアーですが、場所もヒルトンラグーンの横なので、わかりやすいです。陽気なスタッフのお兄さん達に連れられて沖の方まで移動。
同じ時間の予約が、日本人3組だったので、他の人が飛んでる間はボートで待ちますが、波で揺れるので、酔いやすい人は要注意かも。
ライフベスト着用して安全装備を装着。スタッフさんが全てやってくれます。飛ぶ前に写真が必要かどうか聞かれます。スタッフさんが撮ってくれたデータを船から降りた後スマホに転送し、SDカードもその場でくれて、1グループ40ドル。うちは購入しました。
空から見たワイキキビーチは、とても素敵でした。快晴でパラセイル日和。風は強いので、高度が上がるほど揺れます。
ハワイで飛べたのは最高！あっと言う間の飛行時間。自分が凧になった気分で、とても楽しめました♪

It was a pool that is not very common in Japan.
I think similar pools can only be found at Fuji-Q or Nagashima Spa Land.
There were a lot of slides, and it was fun.
You might get caught in traffic on the way back, so please be careful.

日本にはあまりないプールでした。
似たプールは富士急かナガスパにしかないかな？
たくさんスライダーがあって楽しかったです。
帰りは渋滞に巻き込まれるかもです。お気をつけて。

Such a great time. Though cloudy at times the sandbar was fun. The SUP was fun for my first time and all hosts were gracious and positive. The morning seems like a good time to go since the tide is lower. The live music was such a treat. My friends and I had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.

Our group was looking forward to our first luau and as we arrived at the destination it started raining. While the hosts were quick to hand out rain ponchos, the rain affected the event.

First, the hosts were rushed to get folks registered and get things moving. As a result, our group was never able to get our picture taken before the event started. Knowing this was an outdoor venue and its rainy season, I would have expected that certain things would have been under cover - like the photo area, the stage and honestly even the seating.

The food was under cover and was good. Not spectacular but good. A couple of our group had raw fish and were all sick that night so having certain foods outside for an extended period was not smart.

The performance from the warriors was good. They tried to show the different dress/dance of various polynesian groups but it would have benefited from more clarity on their differences as they all stared looking the same.

The ONE performance I was looking forward to was the fire dance. It was a disappointment. I expected all the adult performers to have choreographed a phenomenal dance of fire, complete with fire twirling, throwing etc. Instead they handed the "fire dance" off to one young boy for a solo act and two young boys to show off what they learned. YES, they were very good! but the magic of a "warrior tribe" dancing the fire dance was lost. The adults did come back for a grand finale - but it seems confusing at best.

Not what I expected.

The captain, crew, boat accommodations were all good - great! But the reason for this excursion was the snorkeling and that was just OK.

First the good: The crew did a fantastic job taking care of us all on the boat. They seamlessly prepped all the food without us realizing they were doing it, and then served it very effectively! It was really good and plenty of it. Gotta be fast to ask for seconds tho as the crew is very efficient cleaning up. The boat ride was also great!

Now the OK: I fully expected the crew would extend their care to the snorkeling adventure and split us up into groups and take us around the coral reef. They did not, and we were left to swim and fend for ourselves not really knowing how to navigate a reef without coming in contact with it, not really knowing what we should be looking for. I "happened" across a turtle that came up from the depths of the coral and almost collided with me... so I saw that one, but not much else because I wasn't sure what I should be looking at.

The window-side seat on the top floor had a great view and the food was delicious. However, the size of the steak was clearly smaller than those at the surrounding tables, which was disappointing. Additionally, they did not bring water to us or other Japanese guests.

I felt a bit sad about various things, but the evening and night views were wonderful, and we could see the fireworks well, so I think it was still a good experience. I believe those who participate can enjoy it if they have a relaxed mindset.

窓際席、一番上の階で景色も良くお料理も美味しかったです。しかし、ステーキの大きさが周りのテーブルより明らかに小さく、残念な気持ちになりました。また、私たちや他の日本人にはお水を持ってきてくれませんでした。
色々悲しい気持ちでしたが、夕景、夜景は素晴らしく花火も良く観れたので良かったのかなとは思います。
参加される方は心にゆとりがあれば楽しめるとは思います。

I participated in a tour with transportation included. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member guided us and explained the flow of the tour. I was relieved to find that it was only in English.

Since it had rained before, the buggy didn't get dirty from dust, and we were able to enjoy a comfortable ride! Although I couldn't understand the explanations during the tour since they were in English, I had a great time. The tour guide took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories.

送迎付きツアーに参加しました。
到着すると日本人スタッフさんが誘導してくれ、ツアー参加までの流れを説明してくれました。英語のみだと思っていたので安心しました。
バギーは雨の後だったので砂ぼこりで汚れる事なく、快適に爆走出来ました！
ツアー中は英語のみで説明がわかりませんが、かなり楽しめます。
ツアーガイドさんが沢山写真を撮ってくれて良い思い出になります。

I took a taxi to Hilton Hawaiian Village, which was fine, but I was nervous because I didn't know where the meeting place was...

I think it would be reassuring to have prior information like, "After passing through the hotel entrance, there will be a boat docked towards the beach."

On the 10:00 trip, even at a depth of 30 meters, it was bright, and I could see many fish, which was a lot of fun! I was hoping to see a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, that didn't happen... Since my elderly mother was with me, we didn't do any marine activities, but it was great to be able to explore underwater in a submarine, which is something you can't easily experience in Japan.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでタクシーで向かったのはいいのですが…
集合場所がわからずドキドキしました。。

「ホテルの入り口を抜けて、ビーチに向かった所に船が停まっている」
などの事前案内があったら安心だと思う。

10:00の便で、海底30mでも明るく
たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかった♪
ホヌに会えるのを願ってましたが…叶わず。。
高齢の母も一緒だったので、マリンアクティビティは一切なかったので、日本ではなかなか体験できない潜水艦で、水中散策ができたのでよかったです。

It was so amazing view was great and our tour guys where amazing Matt and I can’t remember the girl with brown hair and glasses (sorry) they did an amazing job!! Love it will come back again soon Mahalo :)

This tour is conducted in English, but even if your English isn't very good, they kindly assist you using translation software. When purchasing tickets or entering, the driver had informed us in advance that we should buy tickets together with the foreign guests who joined us as part of the same group, which made things really easy. Above all, it's a great value! Compared to Japanese-speaking shuttle tours, it's truly reasonable. There was plenty of time to enjoy, so we were able to relax on the beach until it was time for pickup!

こちらのツアーは、英語での案内になりますが、
英語がそんなにできなくても、翻訳ソフトなどを使って、親切に教えてくれます。実際にチケットを購入したり、入場する際も、相乗りしてきた外国人の方に同一グループとして一緒に購入してあげて欲しいと、あらかじめドライバーさんから申し伝わっているので、本当に楽でした。何よりも、コスパがいい！日本語対応の送迎ツアーと比べて本当にリーズナブル。滞在時間もたっぷりあるので、お迎えまでビーチでゆっくりできました！

I was on a tour with one Japanese person, an Asian family that seemed to be Korean (6-7 members), a group of four young white people, and a white family from America (four members).

During the tour, there were several stops, and at each stop, the driver-guide explained the location. However, the driver-guide (who was white) only provided explanations to the group of young white people and the white family, and at the end of the tour, he only said "Thank you. Have a nice day." to those two white groups. This behavior felt quite racist at times, and I experienced a strong sense of discomfort.

I can only think that if we had a good driver, it could have been a very enjoyable tour, which makes it all the more disappointing.

私（日本人1名）、韓国人と思われるアジア系家族（6〜7名）、白人の若者グループ（4名）、アメリカ出身白人家族（4名）が乗り合い。
ツアーでは何度か途中下車をする場面があり、その都度下車地点の説明をドライバー兼ガイドが行うという流れだった。
ドライバー兼ガイド（白人）は下車地点の説明を白人の若者グループ及び白人家族にしか行わず、また、ツアー終了時の"Thank you. Have a nice day."という挨拶もそれらの白人2グループにしか言わないなど、随所にRacistかと思うような対応がなされ、強い不快感を覚えた。
良いドライバーに当たればとても面白いツアーだっただろうと思うだけに、非常に残念である。

I was worried that neither of us had brought our driver's licenses and whether we could participate after arriving the day before, but we were able to adapt flexibly, and we safely joined the tour by riding in the back seat of the buggy driven by our guide.

The scenery was breathtaking, and it was fun to see actual movie filming equipment left behind. I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, as there is quite a bit of dust. Also, we made stops at various points to take photos, so I think people of all ages can enjoy this experience.

まさかの2人とも免許証持参忘れで前日から参加できるのか不安でしたが、臨機応変に対応頂き、ガイドさんの運転するバギーの後部座席に乗っけてもい無事に参加できました。
迫力ある景色に、実際の映画の撮影道具が残されていて終始楽しかったです。
砂埃が結構舞うので汚れても良い格好で参加されるのをおすすめします。
後、ポイントポイントで停車して写真が撮れるので年齢問わず楽しめると思います。

I was able to experience the bumper tube, banana boat, and parasailing. Parasailing is not recommended for those with a fear of heights, but you can see the beautiful sea and scenery. I fell into the sea during the banana boat ride when I let my guard down. I can't swim, so it was scary. I made an early reservation at 8:20, so I was able to enjoy the activities smoothly. It ended around 10:30.

バンパチューブ、バナナボート、パラセーリングを体験することが出来ました。
パラセーリングは高所恐怖症の方にはオススメしませんがとても綺麗な海と景色を見ることが出来ます。
バナナボートは油断した際に海へ落とされました。泳げないので怖かったです。
8:20と早く予約したのでスイスイ体験することが出来ました。10:30頃終わりました。

I booked the afternoon trip. Departure at 1 PM (lunch will be served at that time), arriving at the sandbar in about 30 minutes. After that, there will be activities until around 3:30 PM. We chose the bumper tube, which was a fun first experience. After that, you can try kayaking, SUP, and more. During snorkeling, you can see many fish swimming around. This time, the sandy beach didn't appear, but we had a great time. It might be even more beautiful than Hanauma Bay, and I think it's nice that it's not crowded.

午後便を予約しました。13時出港（その際に昼食）、30分程度でサンドバー到着。その後15時30分程度まで、アクティビティとなります。私達は、バンパーチューブを選択、初めての経験で面白かったです。その後は、カヤックやSUP等、何でも体験できます。シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚達が泳いでいるのを見ることができます。今回は砂浜は現れませんでしたが十分楽しむことができました。ハナウマ湾より綺麗かもしれませんし、混雑していないのが良いと思います。

I'm already addicted!
When you come to Waikiki, you must try it!
For those who haven't experienced it yet or those who came without a plan, please give it a try. I'm sure it will become an unforgettable memory.

I will definitely fly again next time! It's the best!

もう病みつきです！
ワイキキに来たら、必ず飛びます☆
未体験の方、ノープランでいらしたかたも、是非体験してみてください。きっと忘れることの出来ない思い出になると思います。

私は次も必ず飛ぶでしょう☆
最高です☆

Parasailing with my 83-year-old mother was amazing. We got to see Diamond Head and the city skyline from high up in the sky, which was fantastic. The final splash left us quite soaked, and water splashed on our faces, but it was incredibly fun!

83歳の母を連れてのパラセーリング
かなり高く、ダイヤモンドヘッドやビル群を空から見れて最高でした
最後のザブンはかなりびしょびしょに濡れて、顔にも水がかかりましたが、最高に楽しかったです！

We participated in mid-October as a couple in our 60s. Among the approximately 20 participants from Japan, everyone except us were newlyweds. There were also couples from Australia who were retired.

Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the white sand was not visible until the tide went out. If you want to walk on the white sand shown in the photos, you'll need to adjust your timing for participation.

However, with the blue sky and sea, the uniquely shaped mountains visible in the distance, and the cheerful hospitality of the crew on board, I felt a sense of liberation. We also saw sea turtles and manta rays. I would like to participate again.

If you're looking for clearer water and a variety of fish while snorkeling, Hanauma Bay might be a better option.

10月中旬に60歳台夫婦で参加。日本から参加された方20名程は、私たち以外新婚さんでした。他にはオーストラリアから来たリタイア後のご夫婦もいた。
時期的に潮が高くて、白い砂が見えるまで潮が引いてはいなかった。写真にある白い砂の上を歩きたければ、参加時期の調整は必要。
でも、青い空と海、視界に見える独特の形をした山、船上クルーの方々の陽気なおもてなしがあり、心が解放された気分になった。ウミガメとマンタも見られた。また参加したい。
シュノーケリング時の海の透明度や見られる魚の豊富さを求めるなら、ハナウマベイの方が良いかも。

My husband, 71, and I, 64, went kayaking in the Hawaiian sea for about an hour! With Hawaiian music playing, we headed to the sandbar. The water was deep up to my shoulders, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the wonderful people at the sandbar who took care of us, it became a fun memory. I am grateful.

夫71歳、私64歳が、ハワイの海でⅠ時間程、カヤックをやりました!ハワイアンミュジックが流れる中、サンドバーへ。ただ肩までの深さがあり、少し怖かったのですが、お世話してくださったサンドバーの皆様のおかげで、楽しい思い出となりました。感謝しております。

This tour includes a sandwich lunch at Tantalus after visiting Manoa Falls. I signed up mainly for the Manoa Falls hike, but the lunch sandwiches and the view from Tantalus were just as great! The guide also took a lot of photos for us, thank you.

For those participating, my advice is that there are many mosquitoes in Manoa, so I recommend bringing insect repellent and, if possible, wearing long sleeves and long pants. Also, since it's a rainy area, the ground can be slippery. Having non-slip shoes would be reassuring.

こちらのツアーはマノアの滝の後に、タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチランチがついていて、マノアの滝ハイキングメインで申し込みましたが、同じくらいランチのサンドイッチとタンタラスの丘からの景色がとてもよかったです！
ガイドさんもたくさん写真をとってくれたり、ありがとうございました。
参加される方へのアドバイスは、マノアは蚊が多いので、虫よけの持参、できれば長袖、長ズボンをおすすめします。あと、雨が多い地域なので地面が滑ります。滑りにくい靴があると安心です。

Most of the time took pictures and saw the historical hollywood filming locations. The best part was when a staff took pictures for us at a ranch and made us run from one side to another. Absolutely had no clue of why we had to run but there was a video recorded by the staff which was incredible. There was a toy dinosaur that looked like it was chasing after us (like one of the scenes you see in the movies). The ways how they record you on video and take photos are splendid and their ideas are so creative.

One of the most exciting moments during my stay in Waikiki. This is a must do activity but depends if you are scared of heights and other health factors since everyone is different. I will be doing this again and made a reservation just now again during my stay at Waikiki. It is about a 6-8 minute up in the air while the camera man takes pictures of you and you buy the pictures as additional but you regret if you don't buy it. The pictures are well taken and the most fun part is when you come down; you get dropped into the water (this is optional too) but it is part of the experience in which almost everyone did. I cannot wait to be parasailing in about a month. Will be the best way to end the year right!

One of the finest place to learn the history about Pearl Harbor. Just no words: beautiful memorial and harbor. Bought the tickets in advance and the process was quick and easy to access. Had a great time so will be visiting it again shortly.

The sunset cruise was absolutely gorgeous and worth of your time. It was our anniversary with my wife and had a wonderful evening with the awesome Hula show and with the friendly crew members on board. Customer service was excellent and we will be coming back shortly. Food was of course great too and my favorite part was the BBQ chicken with the MaiTai cocktail!

Everything was Amazing from the staff to the gorgeous view


Definitely need to come back with my family next time


Thank you

We had a wonderful time. It was perfect. Lots of stunning views. The two best tour guides. We would definitely do it again. We got beautiful pics of the whole tour.

Our first time in Hawaii and first time doing something like this. The staff was amazing, kind, and professional. They made us feel safe and made sure we were having a great time. The snacks and refreshments were great as well. My wife and I had an amazing time seeing dolphins, turtles and even flying fish. Thank you for this experience.

Our tour included four groups with a total of ten people. Since two people go parasailing at a time, we had five sessions of ten minutes each. Including the time for putting on and taking off the gear, the total activity lasted just over an hour. The instructions were all in English, but they also used gestures, so I was able to participate without any anxiety.
During parasailing, it was refreshing! I felt like a bird. We flew quite high, allowing us to see all of Waikiki, which was a wonderful experience.
While the ride itself was great, during takeoff and landing for parasailing, we stopped and floated, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication in advance.
At the end of the parasailing, there was a surprise where we dipped into the sea up to our waists, so I recommend wearing a swimsuit!

私達を含め4組10名でのツアーでした。2名づつパラセーリングをするので、5回✖️10分。装具の付け外しなど含めトータル1時間少しのアクティビティでした。説明は全て英語でしたがジェスチャーも交えてくださり不安なく参加できました。
パラセーリング中は爽快！鳥になった気分です。かなり高く飛ぶのでワイキキを一望出来とても素晴らしい体験でした。
滑走中は良いのですがパラセーリングの離発着時は停止しぷかぷかと浮いた状態なので船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いと思います。
パラセーリングの終盤ではチャプンと腰くらいまで海に浸かるサプライズ付きなので水着着用をオススメします！
