All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Thank you for your support.
We went to Hawaii as a family to celebrate my 88-year-old mother's birthday.
Ten years ago, my mother joined us on a trip, and this time she wanted to try parasailing.
Given her age, we were concerned about whether she could handle it, so we researched and found experience photos on the website featuring people of a similar age, which reassured us, and we made the reservation.
The staff at the reception were friendly and accommodating, which eased our worries as we boarded the boat.
The crew on board were also very kind and attentive to safety, allowing for a reassuring flight.
As expected, the strong winds provided a refreshing view at 150 meters in a short time, and my 88-year-old mother was extremely happy and satisfied with the experience.
Our family prepared a waterproof camera and a GoPro to take photos and videos, but due to the boat's rocking, some of the shots didn't turn out well.
Additionally, it seemed that another passenger wanted a commemorative photo but hadn't requested it in advance. I think it would be good to have a pre-announcement or to have continuous photography on board, checking for purchase options upon return.
Thank you very much.

88歳の母のお祝い記念で家族でハワイに行きました。
10年前に一緒に行った母が今回パラセイリングにチャレンジを希望
88歳の高齢でもあり心配をしチャレンジできるかを調査、Webサイトの体験写真に同年代らしき写真があり問題ないと判断し申し込みました。
窓口スタッフの方も新設にフレンドリーに対応していただき心配もなく乗船、
船上スタッフの方も大変親切に安全に気を使っていただき安心にフライト、
当然ですが強い風の勢いで短時間に150メートル爽快な眺めと体験したことのない感覚で88歳の母も大変喜んで満足しました。
私たち家族は防水カメラ、GOProカメラ等を準備し写真やビデオを撮りましたが船上の揺れ等で少しうまく撮れていませんでした。
また同乗した方は記念写真が欲しかったようで事前にスタッフに希望していなかったようでした。事前アナウンスをされるか、常時船上から撮影をし戻った時に購入の有無を確認するやり方もいいのかなと思いました
大変ありがとうございました

I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest. He also picked us up at our hotel and was so easy to talk to and open to any questions we had. I would 100% do this tour again! Thanks Dan!

This was our second trip on the Star of Honolulu, the first being 9 years ago. I paid more this time for an upgraded meal. The meal was good, but I think we would have been happier with just the buffet. The upgrade wasn’t really worth the price we paid. The entertainment was good and the views were spectacular! If we come to Hawai’i again, I think we’ll just get the lowest price meal and still do the cruise.

Wow! What a great time. Definitely a highlight of our vacation. A must-see!!

You can enjoy a beautiful sea as far as the eye can see. Since life jackets are provided, both adults and children can play safely. The fact that boats and stand-up paddleboards (SUP) are available for free is also a great attraction.

見渡す限りのきれいな海が堪能できます。救命具をつけるので大人から子供まで安心して遊べます。ボートやSUPが無料で使えるのも魅力です。

The jungle tour involves driving through the mountains to get close to the summit, offering breathtaking views. Since it's by car, it's quick, but if you were to hike it, it would take more than half a day. As mentioned in other experiences, there is quite a bit of dust, especially when a four-wheeler is ahead of you. Perhaps because it's the dry season, the surrounding trees are changing color. If you're sensitive to dust, wearing a mask might be a good idea. As for the movie filming locations, I haven't watched many films, so the only one I recognized was Jurassic Park. The farm tour was great, especially the cacao tasting.

ジャングルツアーは車で山のなかを走って頂上に近いところまで行って絶景です　車なので早いですが自力で登ったら半日以上かかります　体験談にもあったけど砂埃は結構あります　特に四輪バギーが前を走ったら酷い　乾季だからなのか周りの木々も色が変わっている位　嫌いな人はマスクしたらいいかもしれません　映画のロケ地は余り映画を観ていないのでジェラシックパークくらいしかわかりませんでした　農園ツアーはカカオ試食が良かったです

I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.

It was a great time captain and mate was great def made our experience twice as fun

My husband and I enjoyed this tour…The sand bar is totally unique.. it’s very cool to step out of the boat in what should be deep water and find the water to only be knee deep! The lunch that was provided was delicious.. hamburgers hot off a grill with sides. Then off to a second location to snorkel with hot chocolate or coffee available after ! The guys were very nice.. friendly and fun!

Absolutely would do this every time I was in Hawaii. The experience really dives you into nature. Perfect time during our honeymoon.

It was the perfect day for a cruise. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was great. Lunch grilled on the boat was wonderful. I'm a very picky eater and loved the burgers. Snorkeling was the best. It was a beautiful adventure out of a movie swimming around the reef. The views were amazing. I can't say enough wonderful things about the captain and staff on this trip. I will do this again next trip!

The powerful dance by the men and the graceful hula by the women were wonderful. I was delighted that the performers applied traditional paint on their arms. It's a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it for a memorable experience in Hawaii.

男性力強いダンス、女性のしなやかなフラが素晴らしかった。腕に演技者自身が伝統ペイントを施してくださり嬉しかったです。少し高価ですが、ハワイの思い出に是非おすすめします。

It's a 5-star experience, and the price is around 35,000 yen per person, so I was worried about table manners... but those worries were unnecessary! It was surprisingly casual, as you could stand up and walk out to the deck during the meal. I think it mentioned that "men's dress code is collared shirts," but there were definitely people in T-shirts. The non-alcoholic cocktails were delicious!

5スター、日本円で35,000円/1人くらいの値段なので、テーブルマナー大丈夫かな…
など心配しましたが、いらぬ心配でした！
食事中に立って歩いてデッキに出るのも自由なので意外とフランクにすごしました。
「男性のドレスコードは襟付きの服」と書かれていた気がしますが、全然Tシャツの人もいました。
ノンアルカクテル美味しかったです！

It rises up to 150 meters, and there is a sense of tension until that moment, but the fear lasts only for an instant. The view from up high is amazing. My husband, who has a fear of heights, also enjoyed it. There was stability without any significant swaying in the air. You are instructed to put away your phone, but if you're confident you won't drop it, you could probably take it up with you. (I didn't do that, though.) The moving boat does sway, so motion sickness medication is a must!

150mまで上昇、その瞬間まで緊張感はありますが、怖いと思うのは一瞬だけ。高いところからの景色が最高です。
高所恐怖症の夫も楽しめていました。
空中で大きく揺れることもなく安定感がありました。
ケータイを仕舞うように指示されますが、落とさない自信があるなら空まで持って行けそうです。
（私はしませんでしたが）
移動の船は揺れるので、酔い止め必須です！

This was my first time participating. I was worried about the check-in since I can't speak English, but the staff member helped me, and I was able to check in without any issues. There are also Japanese guidelines available.

Everyone goes barefoot on the boat, so wearing beach sandals or sneakers is fine. We brought a waterproof phone case to keep our money and card keys, but there was space under the benches on the boat for luggage, so some people participated with bags or backpacks (though they might get wet).

The boat moves at quite a speed, so depending on the wave height, it can jump and there can be quite a jolt. If you are prone to seasickness, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication.

The start is on the boat, but since you will be landing in the water, I think it's better to have a towel if you're concerned. We dried off quite a bit on the way back to the boarding area.

The photo data was provided on an SD card and iPhone for about $40 for around 100 pictures, and after disembarking, we were able to view the photos and decide whether to purchase them.

The activity itself was an extraordinary experience and very enjoyable! The color of the ocean and the view of Honolulu were beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested.

初めて参加しました。
英語が話せないのでチェックインから心配していましたが、店員のお姉さんに声をかけていただき無事にできました。日本語の規約もあります。
船上で全員裸足になるのでビーチサンダルでもスニーカーでも問題ありません。
私たちは防水の携帯ケースにお金やカードキーを入れて持っていきましたが、船のベンチの下に荷物を入れるスペースがあったので、鞄やリュックで参加されている方もいました。(濡れる可能性はあります。
船はかなりのスピードで進むので、波の高さによっては船がジャンプしたり結構衝撃がありました。船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心だと思います。
スタートは船上ですが、着水するので気になる方はタオルがあった方が良いと思います。乗船場に帰る間に結構乾きました。
写真のデータはSDカードとiPhoneに入れてもらって40$100枚くらいで、下船後に写真を見せてもらって購入するか決められました。
アクティビティ自体は非日常体験でとても楽しかったです！海の色とホノルルの景色がとても綺麗でした。興味ある方にはぜひお勧めしたいです。

The guidance was very kind, and luckily, I was able to see turtles! I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance for those who are prone to seasickness! The water was murkier than I expected, and there were fewer fish. The view from above was spectacular! Thank you! ^_^

とても親切に案内してくださり、ラッキーなことに亀が見れました！！
波酔いする方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします！
思っていたよりも水が濁っていて魚は少なかったです！
上から見る景色は絶景でした！
ありがとうございました^_^

My family and I loved the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. There was something for everyone to do. We also just enjoyed sitting on the water couch watching everyone else enjoy themselves. The staff was super friendly and helpful!

Our tour group was awesome!! So friendly and a fun experience. I appreciated the fact they had clean restrooms on the boat. They took their time to make sure we were all well taken care of with food, beverages and most importantly safety. Food was delicious well made burgers. We were able to get seconds once everyone was fed and there were leftovers which was really nice of them to offer for those of us who are good eaters ;) I absolutely love the Hawaiian culture and friendliness. Definitely can feel the ohana love for everyone.

I will definitely be coming back during my next vacation.

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure. Looking forward to our next journey with this awesome crew!

Since I was alone, I opted for the premium experience to fully enjoy it, and I'm glad I chose the front stage! The fire dance was also impressive.

1人だったのでしっかり楽しむためにプレミアムにしましたが、目の前のステージにしてよかったです！
ファイヤーダンスも迫力ありました

The water park has slides that are different from those in Japan, and both adults and children can enjoy it! The food was also great, featuring American cuisine, which was a nice touch.

I had reserved a cabana in advance, and it was definitely the right decision!

There was quite a bit of free space available, but since I went with children, having a designated area felt safer.

I went with kids aged 6, 4, and 3, and there were areas where even the youngest could have fun, so we were very satisfied! There were few Japanese people, which allowed us to really experience the local atmosphere!

I recommend going on a Saturday when they are open from 10 AM to 8 PM!

日本のウォーターパークとは一味違ったスライダーがあり大人から子どもまで楽しむことができました！食事もアメリカンフードが楽しめるので、その点も良かったです^_^
ガバナを前もってレンタル予約していましたが、予約していて正解でした！

フリーのスペースもかなり多くありましたが、子ども連れで行ったので専用の方が安心でした。

子どもは6歳.4歳.3歳で行きましたが、下の子も楽しむ事のできるエリアもあり大満足！
日本人も少なくて現地を感じれました！

10時〜20時まで営業している土曜日に行くのをオススメします！

It wasn't as scary as I thought, and the scenery was amazing. There was someone in the same group who got sick. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. Although I didn't get sick, there were others who looked unwell. It seems customary to give a tip when getting off the boat. I was disappointed when I was told that they couldn't take my photo because the camera battery died.

思ったよりも怖くなく景色が最高でした。
同じグループで吐いてしまった人がいました。
船がかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。吐いてはいないけれど他にも気分が悪そうな人がいました。
船を降りる時にチップを渡すのが普通みたいです。
写真を頼んでいたのに、カメラのバッテリー切れで撮れなかったと言われた時は残念でした。

We participated as a group of three.
First, the boat ride to the point had high waves, which added to the thrill of the attraction.
I didn't expect all three of us to ride together, so I was a bit flustered. It was nice to know that we could hold our smartphones while jumping, and the footage we captured became a great memory.
Since it was a windy day, two out of the three of us got seasick. Please be careful about the position of the belt, as it can get uncomfortable.
It was a fun experience that you don't get to have often.

３人で参加しました。
まずポイントに行くまでのボートも波が高くてアトラクション感がありました。
３人で同時に乗れるとは思ってなかったので少し慌てました。スマホを持って飛んでもいいとの事で飛び上がって撮った映像が良い記念になりました。
この日は風が強かったため３人中２人が船酔いしました。苦しくなるのでベルトの位置に注意して下さい。
なかなか出来ない経験なので楽しかったです。

Our first times...suprisingly not what we expected, it was MORE than! Had so much fun and maybe we'll take another cruise soon.

We had a great time on this excursion. It was one of the best that we've done in Oahu. The highlights of the trip were spotting many turtles (at least a dozen), playing volleyball on the sandbar, and snorkeling at the reef. On top of that, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I will be recommending this to anyone I meet who is going to visit Oahu.

One of the best experiences I have ever had. We have snorkeled and saw so many fishes. Like the crystal clean water and kayaking ., what else ., a complete package with live music and drink.

I had mistakenly made a reservation for the wrong date, but the staff's response was absolutely wonderful. Many of the staff members understood Japanese, and the service was really good. However, the content of the dinner started with a salad dressed with a tangy dressing, the olive oil for the bread also had balsamic vinegar, the pasta was tomato-flavored with a tangy taste, and the steak was served with a balsamic vinegar sauce... it was a parade of sour flavors that I didn't prefer. The asparagus served with the steak was also very tough at the base. Waikiki is expensive, so I understand, but as a Japanese person, I felt that the content for two people at 30,000 yen, especially with the yen's depreciation at 160 yen, was not justified. It was crowded, so the dessert also took a long time to come out, and I declined it. The staff was very kind, saying that takeout was also available. Thank you very much.

日にちを間違えて予約していたので、直前に変更して頂いたりと、
スタッフの方の対応は最高に素晴らしかったです。
日本語がわかるスタッフの方も多く、接客は本当に良かったです。
ただ、ディナーの内容が、
酸味の効いたドレッシングのサラダに始まり、
パンにつけるオリーブオイルもバルサミコ酢入り、
パスタはトマト味で酸味が効いており、
ステーキもバルサミコ酢のソース。。と、
酸っぱいオンパレードで好みではありませんでした。
ステーキの付け合わせのアスパラガスも根元がカチカチのもの。
ワイキキは物価が高いので仕方ありませんが、１６０円の円安のせいもありますが、
飲み物別で二人で3万円の内容ではないと感じてしまう日本人です。
混んでいたので、デザートも出てくるのが遅かったので、お断りしました。
お持ち帰りもできますよ、とスタッフの方はとても親切でした。
ありがとうございました。

Driving the buggy myself was fun. We stopped several times to take photos at movie locations, and they took some great pictures. The distance between vehicles is quite strict.

バギーを自分で運転して楽しかった。何度か止まって映画のロケーションで撮影をしてくれるのですが、いい感じの写真を撮ってくれます。
車間距離に結構シビアです。

We Had a fabulous evening, great shows and food was fantastic

We had a great time watching the sunset sipping our drinks and talking to tourists about this amazing place. Everything went very smoothly on the boat, we were given great pointers about the boat and where to sit. Will do this again with my family. Thank you for a wonderful time!!
