All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This experience became the most memorable one in Hawaii. The sandbar made me feel like I was in another world, and seeing the sea turtles was amazing. The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best.

Snorkeling is safe even for those who are not good swimmers. I was considering skipping it before going, but in the end, I joined in, and my parents, who are over 60, also participated. My elementary school-aged children went snorkeling for the first time, and they enjoyed it so much that they wanted me to buy them masks, which I did that day, and they even wore them to swim in the hotel pool.

I brought my 1-year-old baby, and I wish I had taken an umbrella. Even with sunscreen, you can still get quite sunburned. I think it's better for those with small children to have some kind of sun protection. The staff were friendly and great at chatting.

ハワイの中でこの体験が1番記憶に残る体験になりました。
サンドバーは異世界に来た気分になり、ウミガメも観れて、船上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
シュノーケリングは、泳ぎが苦手な人でも安心してできます。私も行く前は辞めとこうかと思っていましたが、結果私も入り60才を超えてる父母も入りました。小学生の子どもたちも初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、よっぽど楽しかったのかマスクを買って欲しいということで、その日に買いホテルのプールでもマスクをつけて泳いでました。
1才の赤ちゃんを連れて行ったのですが、日傘を持って行けば良かったと思いました。
日焼け止めを塗って行ってもかなり焼けます。
小さいお子様連れの方は何か対策があった方がいいと思います。
スタッフの方も気さくでお話し上手でした。

A first-time experience. My 6-year-old grandchild was very satisfied! My 70-year-old grandfather was also very satisfied! The boat staff were hospitable and full of humor! The experience of viewing Waikiki from the sky was amazing!

初めての体験。6歳の孫も大満足！70歳のジージーも大満足！ボートスタッフもホスピタリティがあり、ユーモアたっぷりでした！ワイキキを空から眺める体験は最高でした！

It's helpful that there is a plan with transportation included. So, it's better to wear a cover-up over your swimsuit before going. The voucher mentions that you need to download and bring a consent form, but it will be provided on-site, so you don't need to bring it.

On the boat ride to the location, they will perform and sing for you.

You can enjoy snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking!

For snorkeling, you can go near the coral reefs and observe the fish! The water is clear, so you can see well! I thought there would only be small fish, but there were also large fish and eels. However, be really careful as there are stones and coral fragments on the bottom, and the coral is spiky, which can easily cut your feet.

You can also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but there are limited numbers available, so you can't go until someone returns one. I wish they had a few more stand-up paddleboards available.

By the way, there are light snacks (only donuts), but I didn't have an appetite before playing, and when I went to get some afterward, they were all gone. It's a shame they didn't prepare enough.

Also, the bus drivers for the outbound and return trips are the same, so it's a good idea to remember their faces! (laughs)

送迎付きプランがあるのが助かります。
なので、水着に上着を着てから行った方が良いです
バウチャーには同意書をダウンロードして持って来てって書いてますが、現地で渡されるので持って行かなくても良いです。

船で現地まで行く道中、演奏しながら歌を歌ってくれます。

シュノーケリング、サップ、カヤックが楽しめます！

シュノーケリングはサンゴ礁の近くに行って、魚を観察できます！
海が澄んでいるので良く見えます！小魚だけかなと思っていたら、大きな魚やウツボのような魚もいました。
ただし、石？やサンゴの破片？などが落ちている上に、サンゴもトゲトゲしているので足を切りやすいのでマジで注意です。

サップやカサックも出来ますが、台数に限りがあるので、誰かが返すまで乗れません・・。特にサップはもう少し用意して欲しいです。

また、軽食（ドーナツのみ）があるのですが、遊ぶ前は食欲無かったので、遊び終えた後に取りに行ったらもう無くなってました。十分な数を用意してないのが残念でした。

ちなみに行きと帰りのバスは運転手の顔が一緒なので、顔は覚えておいた方がいいです！(笑)

The pickup at the hotel was painless. The trip there was good. When we arrived we were greeted and they made sure we knew where to do, and answered all of our silly questions. The people at the ranch were awesome. Racheal our tour driver was awesome. She was funny, entertaining, and she knew all kind of fun movie location info. We watched 50 First Dates when we got back to the hotel and got to see a lot of the locations used. We did the bus tour and the cruise with the buffet. The food was great, and they honestly didn't care how much you ate. They had cookies and lemon bars for a quick dessert. Their on site restaurant had amazing looking burgers, will need to try if we ever go back. We also tried to the local chocolate bars with coffee beans and the banana bread. It was a bit pricey but we devoured all of it. The ride back to hotel was comfortable. Using Veltra was an awesome way to do the trip, to have nothing to worry about except where to show up, was excellent. We even used them to book our Luao after our trip because of how well they took care of us.

Everything is in English, but the instructions for filling out the agreement and how to use the lockers are clearly posted on the counter. The agreement can be accessed via a QR code on the web. I don't remember if there was Japanese, but you can manage with the translation feature in various browsers.

The instructor speaks only English, but they make an effort to communicate effectively.

During the surfing experience, the instructor will guide you on when to catch the waves, and if you trust their timing, you'll find it surprisingly easy to stand up.

Regarding the standing pose, if you pay an additional $65 on-site, there will be drone footage taken, which will be sent to you after the experience. It was a worthwhile investment for my future surfing progress and as a memorable video.

全て英語でますが、規約書記入やロッカーの預け方はカウンターの上に記載がありわかりやすです。
規約書はQRコード読み取りweb からとなります。
日本語があったか覚えてませんが、各ブラウザの翻訳でなんとかなります。
インストラクターは英語のみですが、頑張って伝えようと努力してくれます。

サーフィン体験中は、波に乗るタイミングをインストラクターの人が指示してくれるので信じて乗れば意外と簡単に立てます。

この立っている姿ですが、現地で追加65ドル払えばドローン撮影があり、体験後に送られ来ます。
今後のサーフィン成長や記念動画に価値ある支払いでした。

The boat ride to the fishing spot took nearly an hour, and we only fished for one hour, followed by another hour back, which felt unsatisfactory. We participated as a group of three, including a child, but they only provided us with two fishing rods. I wish I could get back the precious time and money spent in Hawaii.

釣り場までの船の移動で1時間近くかかり、釣りは1時間、また帰りに1時間で物足りない感じでした。
子供含め3人で参加、釣竿は2本しかくれず、
ハワイの貴重な時間と金額と返して欲しいくらい

Driving a buggy through the great outdoors was an amazing experience that you can't have in Japan! The part where we crossed the river was especially thrilling.

大自然の中をバギーで走る体験は日本では出来ない素晴らしい体験でした！
特に川を渡るところは大迫力です

Everything was great really had a good time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The staff were all friendly and cheerful, creating a very pleasant atmosphere that made it enjoyable! The participants were all people I met for the first time, but we were well-coordinated and it was fantastic!

スタッフもみんな気さくで明るくて、とても良い雰囲気で楽しめました！
参加者も初めてお会いする方々でしたが、まとまりがあり、最高でした！

I was prepared for only English-speaking staff, and indeed everything was in English. Additionally, there were no participants who spoke Japanese. There were some unfamiliar English terms in the explanations, but I managed to understand the atmosphere, and by following the others, I was able to get by.

The boat was really cool, and it felt very relaxed, as if we could just hang out anywhere. It was perfect for taking photos.

I have done snorkeling a few times in Japan, but the waves in Hawaii were high, making it difficult to move as I wanted, which was a bit scary. The life jacket that attaches around the waist? Having two, one under the armpits and one around the waist, helped a lot. There were staff members who made sure we didn't remove them and kept a close watch from the boat, so I felt that safety was well taken care of.

I was able to see sea turtles floating on the surface and swimming, which was great.

Since the waves were high and the boat rocked quite a bit, those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. Also, since you might get hungry or feel hot, it would be good to have some snacks and water. They do offer soda and alcohol for a fee.

英語スタッフのみとあったので覚悟して行きましたが、やはり全て英語でした。また、一緒に参加する方も日本語を話せる方はおらずという感じでした。
また説明ではあまり聞いたことのない英語もあったので、雰囲気で理解しましたが周りの方に合わせて動けば何とかなりました。
船はとってもカッコよくて、どこでもいいからゆっくりしてねという感じで自由に過ごせました。写真映えは最高です。
シュノーケリングは日本で何回かやったことがあるのですが、ハワイの海は波が高いので思ったように動けず、少し恐怖もありました。腰につけるライフジャケット？は脇下と腰に２つ付けるとなんとかなりました。外すのは絶対ダメという感じでポイントを知らせてくれる方と船の上からしっかり見ている方といらっしゃったので安全面はしっかりしているのかなという感じでした。
海亀は海面に浮いてきたり、泳ぎながらも見れたのでよかったです。
波が高く、船も結構揺れるので船酔いをする方は酔い止め絶対にいります。あと、お腹が空いたり、暑さもあるので、水分と軽食があってもいいと思います。お金を払えばソーダやお酒は提供してくれます。

I felt it was a bit expensive due to the strong yen, but I had a great time. Since my three children are now over 20, I thought this might be our last trip together as a family of four, so it became a wonderful memory. However, perhaps because we went in the afternoon, we didn't see any islands.

円高の影響で、少し高く感じましたが楽しかったです。
3人の子供達も、20歳を超え4人で旅行ができるのも最後かなぁ〜っと思うので良い思い出になりました。
ただ、午後からだったからなのか島は無かったです。

I participated in January and had so much fun that this is my second time joining. We start in groups of a few vehicles, and when we get out at the photo spots, there were many English speakers last time, so the explanations were thorough. This time, there were more Japanese participants, so the explanations were shorter, but they took a lot of photos for us. My friends who joined me also really liked the four-wheeler and didn't want to switch the steering wheel (laughs). Whether it's sunny or rainy, I recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, as they will protect you from dust and rain, so bringing a raincoat is advisable. (Raincoats are also available for purchase at the shop.)

1月に参加してとても楽しかったので、2回目の参加です。数台ずつまとまってスタートしますが、写真スポットでの下車時、前回は英語圏の方が多かったのでしっかり説明があり、今回は日本人が多かったので説明は短めで写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。一緒に参加した友人夫婦も四輪バギーをとても気に入って、ハンドルを代わって貰えませんでした(笑)晴れでも雨でも、洋服と靴は汚れてもよいものを、埃よけにも雨よけにもなりますので雨合羽の持参をおすすめします。(雨合羽は売店でも買えます。)

The cruise and the breathtaking views from above were amazing! The weather was nice and the waves were calm, but motion sickness medication is a must! I brought my GoPro, but when I was asked if I wanted to take pictures on the boat, it cost $40, and it was worth it. During our time, 3 out of 4 groups ended up buying it! You can check the photos after getting off the boat before making your final decision. They also provide the data on an SD card and your smartphone, so not buying it would be a waste!

クルーズも空からの絶景も楽しめて最高でした！
天気もよく波も穏やかでしたが、それでも酔い止めは必須です！
GoProも持って行きましたが
船に乗って写真撮る？と聞かれ40ドルしましたが買って正解でした、私たちの時は4組中3組買ってました！
船を降りて写真を確認してから買うか最終決められます
SDカードとスマホにもデータをくれるので買わないなんてもったいない⁈

Our first time on a catamaran tour in Hawaii. We saw fish, turtles and had a fantastic time. The crew were helpful, professional and fun. Highly recommend the Moana Sailing Company!

First, let's talk about the ages of the participants. There were two couples aged 59 to 70. The driving was handled by a 59-year-old housewife who usually drives a compact car around town. If you're wondering about your age and whether to join, I highly recommend it!

On the day of the tour, it was pouring rain during check-in, so I bought a poncho for two dollars at the shop (which turned out to be mostly unnecessary). Fortunately, the ground was wet, so we didn't get covered in dust. A few days later, my son and his wife, who joined the same tour in sunny weather, laughed about how they got covered in dust, including their luggage. Lockers are available for five dollars and can be opened and closed multiple times, so I recommend using a locker for items you don't want to get dirty (they offer support in Japanese, which is reassuring).

We were thrilled by the magnificent scenery, saying, "It feels like a dinosaur could fly in at any moment!" Since I don't understand English, I think it was better to enjoy the tour without having to listen to the English commentary on the bus.

It was so much fun that I never gave up the driver's seat (if you show your driver's license at check-in and get a band on your wrist, you can switch drivers when the bus stops at sightseeing spots). We took a tour from 10 AM to 12 PM with transportation included and returned to Waikiki on a 1 PM bus.

I think it would be good to book your tour times to avoid long wait times for the return bus.

Mahalo!

まずは参加メンバーの年齢から。59〜70才の夫婦２組。運転は、日頃は軽自動車の街乗りがほとんどの59才主婦が担当。私もそうでしたが、年齢的にどうかなぁと迷っていらっしゃる方は是非オススメです！
当日は受付時に土砂降りの雨で、売店で２ドルのポンチョを購入（ほぼ不要な天気になりましたが）。地面が濡れていたおかげで土埃まみれになることなくラッキーでした。数日後、晴天の中で同ツアーに参加した息子夫婦は荷物も含め土埃まみれになったと笑っていました。ロッカーが５ドルで何度も開け閉めできますので、着替えなど汚したくない荷物はロッカーをおすすめします（日本語対応で安心）。
壮大な景色に「今にも恐竜が飛んできそう！」と車内で盛り上がっておりました、英語がわからないので、バスで英語の解説を聴きながらまわるよりも良かったと思います♪
楽しすぎて運転席を一度も譲りませんでした（受付で免許証を提示して手首にバンドを付けてもらえば途中の見学スポットで停車した時に運転手交代OK）。
私達は送迎付き10〜12時のツアーで13時出発のバスでワイキキへ帰りました。
帰りのバスの待ち時間が長くならないようにツアーの時間等を予約されると良いかと思います。

マハロ

I would like to first start off make sure you leave with plenty of time! We unfortunately got stuck in traffic. And I was so upset thinking we would lose our trip. I ran to see if there was any hope and I received a call from the pleasant captain Sandy asking if we were still joining them. She was sooo nice and eased me letting me know they are still there no problem. We got on and they were so nice to us. I was so embarrassed and flustered we were so late and they were just soooo nice to us. Honestly I wouldn’t have blamed them if they were annoyed but they weren’t (or at least didn’t show it). The whole ride was smooth, the music was amazing and the activities were so fun. I truly believe the service makes an experience and they totally made ours!! It was so fun! Also pro tip bring some adult beverages to relax even more :) maholo to the crew for an amazing time!

The best birthday present my husband has ever received we would happily do this cruise again and have highly recommended it to all of our friends and family who are still in Hawaii for our Sons wedding.
The experience was fantastic the staff were fantastic at their job. The show was an absolute awesome experience
The food was delicious, my husband was very shocked at the variety and was enjoying it that much he wanted more. Only downside was feeling overly cramped in small seating space, besides that if we ever get back to Hawaii we would book this every day.

I made a reservation because my father wanted to go.
We participated as a family of three, and it was very thrilling and fun to race through rough paths and run on mountain roads!
(It might be tough if you're not used to driving...)
We had plenty of time and were able to go at a leisurely pace, but it went by in a flash.
After it was over, our clothes were, of course, covered in sand... haha.
Even with goggles, you still get dirty, so it's best to wear something you don't mind getting dirty!
It is somewhat pricey, but I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii!

父が行きたいとのことで予約。
家族３人で参加しましたが、
バギーは足場の悪い道を駆け抜けたり
山道を走ったりと、とてもスリリングで楽しかったです！
(運転慣れてないとなかなかきつかもですが・・・)
時間も余裕があり、ゆったり回れましたがあっという間でした。
終わった後は洋服はもちろん顔面砂まみれ。。。笑
ゴーグルしてても汚れますので、汚れても平気な格好で
参加した方が良いです！！
それなりの値段はしますが、またハワイ行った際は行きます！！

It was my first time parasailing, and the exhilaration was incredible—it was truly the best! The guy was also handsome, and the photos he took captured some great reactions, making for some amazing memories!

初のパラセーリングでしたが、爽快感半端なくほんまに最高でした！お兄さんもカッコよくて、撮って頂いた写真もいいリアクションのところを撮って下さっていて、すごい思い出のショットとなりました！

I don't understand English very well, so I couldn't grasp the guide's content, but I had a great time.
The weather was nice, and I was able to see many of the landscapes I had seen in movies.

It was sunny on the day, but my face and clothes got dirty from the dust.
It's better to participate in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

英語があまりわからないので、ガイドの内容は分かりませんでしたが、とても楽しかった。
天気もよく、映画で見た景色がたくさん見れた。

当日は晴れでしたが、砂埃で顔も服も汚れました。
汚れても良い服装で参加した方がいいです。

My first horseback riding experience in Hawaii at Gunstock Ranch became a wonderful memory! The instructors were kind and attentive. (I can't speak English, but I managed just fine!) The horses were gentle and smart, making it easy for beginners like me to ride comfortably. You can feel the richness of the animals living freely on the vast land.

Riding the horses while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery of Hawaii was a fantastic activity!

It took just under two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by the Bus, but the changing scenery made the time fly by. I’ve decided that the next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely go horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch again!

ハワイで初めての乗馬体験がガンストックランチでとてもいい思い出になりました！
インストラクターの方達も優しく丁寧に対応してくださいます。(私は英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました！)
お馬さんたちも穏やかで、賢くて乗馬初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。広大な土地にのびのびと生活する動物たちの豊かさを感じれます。
お馬さんに乗ってハワイの大自然の景色を堪能できるとても良いアクティビティでした！

ガンストックランチまでは、the Busで2時間弱でしたが移り変わる景色であっという間でした。
また、ハワイに行った際にはガンストックランチで乗馬をすると決めました！

This was wonderful. Lola our drivrt was friendly and informative. Po8nted out all sorts of sites.
The Arizona Memorial was everything I expected.. wish i had more time for the musemu

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any whales due to bad luck, but we enjoyed the sunset in a pleasant atmosphere with the cheerful staff. Since we didn't see any whales this time, they gave us a ticket that allows us to join the tour for free the next time we come to Hawaii, as long as the tour is still available. I hope we can participate again!

残念ながら運悪くくじらには会えませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフの方たちと雰囲気よい中、サンセットを楽しみました。
今回くじらに会えなかったので、次回ハワイに来たときに、こちらのツアーが無くなっていなければ無料で参加できるというチケットをくれました。
また参加できますように、、！

Good guides but didn't allow us any unsupervised snorkel time. Actual time in the water was about 1 hour and got us back to Waikiki much earlier than we needed.

This dinner cruise was so much fun. The food was great. The staff was nice, funny, and accommodating to our needs.

It was incredibly refreshing and felt amazing! Since we drove on bumpy roads and red dirt paths, our clothes got pretty dirty, but I wore clothes that I didn't mind getting ruined, so I had a blast. It was truly the best! I want to participate every time I come to Hawaii! The price is a bit high, but I was very satisfied!

もお爽快感が半端なく、めちゃくちゃ気持ちよかったです！
でこぼこ道や赤土道を走るので、衣類はまともに汚れますが、その予測で捨ててもいい服装で行ったので、おもいっきり楽しめて、ほんまマジ最高でした！
ハワイに来た時には、毎回参加したいです！
少しお値段ははりますが、とても満足でした！

We traveled to the dock by large bus and after hearing some simple instructions from the Japanese staff, we boarded the boat. The boat has changing rooms, but it's more comfortable to wear your swimsuit. We arrived at the sandbar in about 30-40 minutes. Since we had also reserved the banana boat activity, we started with that. The banana boat ride itself lasts about 5 minutes. The boat was relatively stable, so I wasn't thrown off. After that, we spent about 2 hours kayaking, paddleboarding, and playing with a ball. Due to the rain from the previous day, the sea was murky, so there was no snorkeling. After finishing, we relaxed on the way back while enjoying live music and snacking on donuts. One thing to note is that the air conditioning on the return bus was too strong, making it cold for our half-dry bodies, so I recommend bringing a jacket or an extra towel. Overall, I had a great time.

大型バスで船着場まで移動し、日本人スタッフの方から簡単な注意事項等を聞いた後、船に乗り込みました。船には更衣室がありますが、水着は着て行った方が楽です。30-40分でサンドバーに到着しました。バナナボードのアクティビティも予約していたので、バナナボートからスタートしました。バナナボード自体の所要時間は5分くらいです。ボートが比較的安定しているので、振り落とされませんでした。その後は、2時間くらいカヤックやsupやボール遊びをして過ごしました。この日は前日の雨の影響で海が濁っていた為、シュノーケリングはありませんでした。終了後は、軽食のドーナッツを食べつつ生演奏を聴きながらゆったりと戻りました。注意点としては、帰りのバスが冷房効きすぎて半乾きの身体には寒いので、上着や予備のバスタオル等を持っていくことをオススメします。
総じて、楽しめました。

I brought my family visiting from the mainland and they had a wonderful time! We loved how responsive the crew was for everyone! Tyson helped us with snorkeling and was an excellent guide!!
The water was a little cold but refreshing! There was volleyball game and that was great fun! The lunch was delicious and plenty of food! We enjoyed being able to purchase drinks as well!

From inside the submarine, you can see dolphins and other marine life. I thought it would be similar to an aquarium, but the closeness of seeing them from inside the ship was completely different!

潜水艦の中から、イルカなど見ることもできます。
水族館と似たような感覚なのかなと思いましたが、船の中から見る近さなど、まったく違うものでした！

It was a great experience. The guides were amazing and so much fun!
