All Reviews for For 9 Year Olds

Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.

This tour was awesome - the waterfall is breathtaking and I loved being able to take my time, enjoy the scenery, and snap great photos along the way

Instructor was extremely patient as well as encouraging which definitely made me feel completely comfortable as a beginner

It was great, it's just that the ocean wasn't cooperating that day but the crew and ride were very good. If the waves were bigger it would have been awesome.

Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff

My outrigger canoe surfing was a blast! My rowing crew was great...friendly and fun! Photographer on the surfboard capturing my adventure was a nice touch!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but the view from off the coast of Waikiki was amazing. On the way back to the harbor, a pod of dolphins approached the boat and entertained us. If you're traveling during that season, they give you a ticket to board again, so I think it's a good idea to make a reservation for an early travel date.

残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたがワイキキ沖から眺める景色は最高です。帰港途中にドルフィンの群れが船に近づいて楽しませてくれました。
そのシーズン中ならもう一度乗船出来るチケットをくれるので渡航日程の早い日に予約されると良いと思います。

Wanted to surprise my partner with her first traditional Hawaiian 🌺 lei greeting :) both beautiful and smelled amazing !

We are a couple who are not good at mountain climbing, but the Diamond Bed is different. We both felt it was worth climbing. While experiencing various histories, the view from the summit is exceptional. Also, the driver who provided the transportation was very kind and truly a wonderful person.

山登りが苦手な夫婦です。ダイヤモンドベッドだけは違います。登る価値があると夫婦で感じました。色んな歴史に触れながら、頂上の風景は格別です。
それと、送迎をしてくださったドライバーさんがとても親切で本当に良い方でした。

Great fun, atv easy to drive, scenery gorgeous , tour guides great, interacted with guests, took pictures for us, great personalities lots of photo opts. Highly recommend

I signed up for this thinking it would be enjoyable with a baby. Since it’s a large boat, the swaying is less intense, strollers are allowed, and light snacks are included, I chose this whale watching tour among many options.

I opted out of the shuttle service, so I took a taxi from the hotel to the location. It took about 20 minutes to arrive from the center of Waikiki. The rush hour traffic wasn't too bad, so we arrived smoothly.

The passengers were mostly from Europe and America, and everyone was cheerful. There were many families with babies and children, and they even set up a coloring corner for kids, which was a great way to keep them entertained.

The boat swayed more than I expected, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication just in case. We were able to see whales a few times from a distance, which was very satisfying. My child was also delighted.

Additionally, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making it a great experience in terms of enjoying the scenery from the water.

ベビー連れで楽しめるコンテンツと思い、申し込みました。
大型船なので揺れがマシ、ベビーカーOK、軽食付きということで数多あるホエールウォッチングツアーの中からこちらをセレクト。
送迎無しにしたので、現地まではホテルに頼んでタクシーで移動。ワイキキ中心部から20分ほどで到着。通勤ラッシュもさほどひどくなかったのでスムーズに到着できました。

乗船客は欧米人が多い印象で、皆さん陽気でした。ベビー連れや子連れも多く、子供向けに色塗りコーナーなども作ってくれていて、飽きない工夫満載です。

船は想像以上に揺れたので、念の為酔い止めを飲んでいて正解でした。
クジラは遠目からですが何度か見ることができ、大満足です。
子どもも喜んでいました。

また、海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗で、海からの眺めを楽しむという意味でもいい経験になりました。

We had a great time taking a shuttle up to the ranch and going on the Hollywood Movie Sites 90-minute tour. Our shuttle driver/tour guide was awesome and we loved the T-Rex photo he took for us. We had an awesome lunch while we waited to return to Waikiki, including a fantastic Dole Whip shake.

The entertainment was top-notch and the food was delicious. I loved the different portions of entertainment that were designed around the various cultures that came together through history to make Hawaii what it is today. It was exactly the kind of experience and education I was hoping for.

Our tour bus did get stuck in some traffic and was slower due to picking up guests from multiple locations, and while I felt like that luau did their best to hold off on the main event (dinner and show) until we arrived (which I greatly appreciated), we did miss out on getting the full experience listed on the events description (i.e. "Interact up close and personal with your Pacific Island hosts with Hawaiian crafts, hula lessons, coconut husking, fire making, weaving, tattooing, and more. ") So if those activities are important to you, you might want to consider booking private transportation to the luau instead of taking the group shuttle option to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get the full experience.

The day of our participation had bad weather, but we set sail as usual. Since it was a large ship, there was no rocking, which was reassuring. For a while, we spent time in the first-floor cabin enjoying coffee and pineapple bread, but then there was an announcement in English about a whale sighting, so we hurried up to the upper deck. At first, we could only see a blow in the distance, but before we knew it, the whales were right next to the ship, appearing with a loud blow. Four of them swam slowly right in front of us, and I was lucky to capture many photos of the blows, backs, and tails with my smartphone. Although we didn't see any jumps, the whale watching experience was more thrilling than I had expected.

参加日は悪天候でしたが、普通に出航。大きな船なので揺れはなくそこは安心でした。しばらくは１階船室でコーヒーやパイナップルブレッドを食べて過ごしていましたが、英語でクジラ発見のアナウンスがあり、急いで上の階へ移動しました。初めは離れた海面にブローが見えるだけでしたが、気が付くと船のすぐ近くに来ていて大きなブローの音と共に姿を現しました。４頭がすぐ目の前を一緒にゆっくり泳いでいたので、ブロー、背中や尻尾をスマホでたくさん撮影出来てラッキーでした。ジャンプは見られませんでしたが、期待以上に迫力あるホエールウォッチングでした。

The cheerful crew kept us entertained throughout.

Even if you're not good with thrills, you can still enjoy it, so definitely give it a try!

陽気なクルーの方が終始楽しませてくれました。

絶叫が苦手でも楽しむことができたのでぜひやってみてください。

It was my first time on a boat, and I was very excited to see so many fish. I also loved the photos (keychain) that were taken, and even after returning home, I attached it to my bag and occasionally take a peek at it♪

はじめての船、たくさんのお魚に大興奮でした。撮って頂いた写真（キーホルダー）も気に入って、帰国後もカバンに付けて時折覗き込んでいます♪

We did the 2 hour UTV tour with a family of four. This was our favorite thing we did. Get a little bit of movie history, a lot of nature, and some light thrills. Ben was our guide and was amazing. He mad the experience so fun and memorable. We had some intermittent rain on our day and it was still amazing. I could not recommend this place more.

On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, of course, when you think of Hawaii, you think of hula dancing. The singer's vocal ability and the dancers' amazing performances were truly moving. Beyond the songs and performances, I was astonished by the quick costume changes and reappearances—this is what Hawaii is all about! After that, I saw an impersonation show featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. While their appearances were remarkably similar, I was also impressed by both of their singing and dancing abilities. I definitely want to invite friends to join me the next time I visit Hawaii. Thank you!

ハワイに到着した初日の夜、やはりハワイと言えばフラダンス。そのシンガーの歌唱力、ダンサーの素晴らしい踊り！感動しました。これらの歌、演技もさることながら、次々と着替えて再登場する早技に驚き、これぞハワイ！を実感いたしました。そしてその後にそっくりショーとしてのエルヴィス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン見た目がそっくりと言う点も素晴らしいのですが、両者の歌唱力ダンス力、これにも感動しました。ぜひまたハワイへ訪れた際には友人を誘ってジョイントしたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

We started boarding at 8:45 and went to get coffee, tea, water, and pineapple banana bread on our own. The banana bread was fluffy and delicious.

After receiving some safety instructions and a brief explanation about whales, we were allowed to go out to any deck from the first to the fourth floor. Since the boat passes by where you can see Diamond Head from Waikiki Beach, we were able to take photos of the beach and Diamond Head from the sea. The air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, and the deck was windy, so I think it's better to bring a jacket. The boat is large, so we hardly felt any rocking.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any marine life that day, and the cruise ended without any sightings. Before disembarking, we received a ticket to participate in whale watching for free again this season.

Since we had no plans for the next day, we called the number listed on the ticket after disembarking and were able to make a reservation for the cruise the following day. They provided assistance in Japanese.

The next day, the wind was even stronger and the waves were slightly higher, but we were able to see a whale spouting just off the coast of Diamond Head. It seemed there were about three whales. The crew moved the boat to follow the direction of the whales, allowing us to see them come to the surface multiple times.

8:45に乗船開始で、コーヒー・紅茶・水、パイナップルバナナブレッドをセルフで取りに行きました。バナナブレッドはふんわりしていておいしかったです。
船での注意事項やクジラに関する簡単な説明を受けた後、1階から4階まで好きなデッキに出ることができます。
ワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドが見えるところを通るので、海からビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの写真を撮ることができました。船内はクーラーがかなりきいているのと、デッキは風が強いので、上着を持っていった方が良いと思います。船が大きいので揺れはほとんど感じませんでした。
この日は生き物に全く会うことがなくクルーズは終わってしまいました。
下船の前に今シーズンでもう一度ホエールウォッチングに無料で参加できるチケットを受け取りました。
私たちは次の日の予定が無かったので、下船後にチケットに記載されている電話番号に電話し翌日のクルーズの予約を取ることができました。日本語で対応してくれます。
翌日はさらに風が強くやや波が高かったのですが、ちょうどダイヤモンドヘッドの沖の所でクジラが潮を吹くところを見ることができました。3頭ほどいたようです。クジラの進行方向に合わせて船を移動してくれるので、クジラが海面に来るところを何度も見ることができました。

The buffet was efficiently organized. During the meal, we were able to enjoy Hawaiian dance as well. The food was delicious.

The show felt like a true American entertainment experience. There were impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and the surrounding dancers were skilled as well.

ビュッフェも手際良く案内してくれました。
食事中もハワイアンダンスを楽しむ事も出来ました。
料理も美味しかったです。

ショーはアメリカらしいエンターテイメントを感じました。
エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのモノマネ？も周りのダンサーも上手です。

It was a large ship 🚢, so I didn't feel any rocking. My friend is prone to seasickness, so they seemed a bit dizzy.

During the first trip, no whales appeared, and we only enjoyed the view of Waikiki Beach.

We received the reboarding tickets just before disembarking, but instead of rebooking on the spot, we had to call the company directly. I asked someone at the hotel who spoke Japanese to make the call for us. The transportation fee was settled by credit card.

During the second trip, we couldn't see any breaching, but we did see the tail and pectoral fins.

According to the guide in the return shuttle, whales come closer to the coast near Maui, so they appear larger.

大きな船🚢なので、揺れは気になりませんでした。友達は船酔いしやすいので、頭がふらふらしたようですが。

1度目は鯨は現れず、ワイキキビーチの景色を楽しんだのみ。

再乗船のチケットを下船間際に船内でもらいましたが、その場で予約し直すのでは無く、会社に直接電話をしないといけませんでした。
ホテルの日本語の話せる人に頼んで、電話してもらいました。
送迎代はクレジットカードで決算。

2度目はブリーチングはさすがに見れませんでしたが、尾ビレや胸ビレは見れました。

帰りの送迎車のガイドさんによると、マウイ島の方が海岸近くに来るので、大きく見えるそうです。

We participated as a family of three, and instructors Chie and Dan provided a lot of thoughtful care, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling safely and comfortably. Thank you very much. It was great to see a sea turtle as well. The wetsuits had good buoyancy, making it easy to enjoy.

家族３人で参加、インストラクターのちえさん、ダンさん、沢山の気配りをして頂き、安心、安全にシュノーケリングを楽しめました。ありがとうございます。ウミガメにも会えて、良かったです。ウエットスーツは浮力があり、楽でした。

We set sail in the rain. I believe the captain did his best to search for whales, but... the weather conditions were poor. There's nothing we can do about that; it was disappointing. Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach were also hazy. However, the wonderful nature of Hawaii is brought by this rain, so I'm grateful. I switched my mindset.

On the way back, I received a ticket for my next trip. The expiration date is until the end of this season, so it feels a bit impossible to use. I would have been really happy if it had been valid until the next season.

雨の中で出航です。キャプテンは一生懸命に鯨を探して下さったと思うのですが。。。
気象条件が悪かったです。これは仕方がないですね、残念でした。そしてダイヤモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも霞んでいました。でもハワイの素晴らしい自然はこの雨がもたらします、感謝。マインド切り替えました。
帰りに次回乗船チケットいただきました。有効期限は今シーズン終了まででしたので
ちょっと無理かなって感じです。
来シーズンまでの有効期限ならめっちゃ嬉しかったのですが。

I regretted signing up when the yen was at its weakest, but I had an experience that was worth it! Riding the buggy through the greenery and jungle was fun and refreshing. We visited various spots, including filming locations for Jurassic Park and other movies, stopping at photo points along the way.

At the photo points, they shared stories about the myths and legends of Kualoa, but I didn't quite understand it well in English ^^; Afterward, I looked it up online and realized that’s what they were talking about. On the flight back, I watched two Jurassic Park movies ^^

一番円安の時に申し込んでしまい悔しかったけど、それに見合う価値の体験ができました！風を切りながら緑やジャングルの中を走るバギーは楽しく、気持ちよかったです。ジュラシックパークや他の映画の撮影場所とのことで、フォトポイントを挟みながらいろいろ回りました。
フォトポイントでは、クアロアの神話や伝説のお話をしてくださいますが、英語でよくわからなかった^^;
終わってからネットで調べて、そんなこと言ってたと合致しました。
帰りの飛行機でジュラシックパークを2本見ました^^

This time, I had a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and they wanted to try parasailing, so we made a reservation here. Since we had participated in snorkeling from the same location before parasailing, we didn't need transportation, but I wonder if others came by taxi or something? I think having transportation would be helpful. The parasailing was great because the weather was nice. Thank you very much!

今回は初ハワイのお友達が一緒だったので、パラセーリングやってみたいと希望があり、こちらに予約しました。私達はパラセーリングの前に、同じ場所からのシュノーケリングに参加していたため、送迎なしで問題ありませんでしたが、他の方はタクシーとかで来たのでしょうか？送迎があると助かると思います。パラセーリングはお天気も良くて、最高でした。ありがとうございました。

Weather was bad - cold and windy, not something controllable. (Although given such wind and low temperature , it might have been ethical for the tour to cancel itself.) But 1) the bus had all of the boat waiting after the trip for about 30 minutes, 2) there wasn’t a sufficient wind shelter for everyone, meaning old ppl and babies were exposed to cold wind. The lunch was also meh - bbq is an overstatement for hamburger patties and buns. Crew was friendly.

I booked a plan that includes round-trip transportation. Since many Japanese participants were also joining, I felt安心して参加できます (at ease to participate).

Once we arrived at the dock, we boarded the boat and took commemorative photos. After that, while enjoying pineapple banana cake and coffee, we were given information about whales (though it was all in English).

Afterward, we went up to the deck to enjoy the scenery. The captain would let us know when a whale was spotted, but unfortunately, we didn't see any this time. Instead, we enjoyed the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. It felt just like a sightseeing cruise.

The day we participated was after a day when Honolulu had strong winds and a warning was issued, so the waves were slightly high, and the boat rocked a bit. However, since it wasn't a small boat, it was quite stable. Still, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

往復送迎付きのプランを申し込みました。日本人の方も多く参加されていたので安心して参加できます。
船着場に着いたら乗船、記念撮影をした後に、パイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒーをいただきながら、最初にクジラに関する情報を教えてくれます。(ただし全て英語です。)
その後デッキに登って景色を楽しむことができます。クジラが見つかると船長が教えてくれるようですが、この時は残念ながら見えず、船から見えるワイキキの景色とダイヤモンドヘッドを見て帰ってきました。まるで遊覧船ですね。
参加した日はホノルルが強風で警報が出た日の後だったので、波が若干高く、多少揺れました。ただ小型船ではないので揺れには強いですが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は注意したほうがいいです。

Our guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. Our experience was well worth the cost. I would highly recommend.

I was excited to be on the boat, but unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and we couldn't go whale watching. There was a thorough explanation of whale ecology, but it was all in English, and I managed to understand it with my iPhone's translation feature, although there was a bit of a time lag. It would have been nice to have information about the location of the restrooms as there were some places that were not usable.

テンションアップで船上しましたが、お天気も雨で・・残念ながらホエールウオッチング出来なかったです。鯨の生態等説明が丁寧にありましたが、すべて英語でiPhoneの翻訳機能でなんとか理解できましたが・・時間差がありました。
トイレの場所説明もあったら良かったと・・使えない場所がありました。

The meeting time is set for 8:45, but you won't be able to board the ship until that time, so I don't recommend arriving too early. Once on board, you'll first receive drinks (coffee, tea, water) and banana pineapple cake. The banana pineapple cake was very delicious. It will be taken away about an hour after departure, so it's best to eat it early.

The ship moves slowly, getting closer to spots where you can see Waikiki and Diamond Head well. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, and the wind was strong. We were able to see whales about three times. Due to regulations, we couldn't get too close, and they were smaller than I had imagined.

8:45集合になっていますが、8:45にならないと船内に入れないので早めに来すぎるのはおすすめしません。
船内に入り、最初にドリンク（コーヒー、紅茶、水）とバナナパイナップルケーキを頂きます。バナナパイナップルケーキがとても美味しかったです。出発して1時間程で下げられてしまうので早めに食べるのがおすすめです。
ゆっくりと進んでいき、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見えるところに近づいてくれます。あいにく天気が良くなく、風も強かったです。
クジラは3回程見る事ができました。条例で近付いてはいけないのもあり、想像してたより小さかったです。
