All Reviews for Recommended for Kids 13-17

The staff were all very friendly, but most of the people around were native speakers, and announcements and services were only in English, so those who prefer service in Japanese might find it inconvenient. Inside, there are long benches and long tables, and they guide you according to your group.

The activities were plentiful; my husband enjoyed beach volleyball, and our first-grade child was thrilled to see tropical fish with the floaties and goggles we brought, as well as a life jacket that was available for rent. It seems you can walk in the coral areas, so I think it's essential for children to have beach shoes (that can be worn in the water) to prevent injuries. Adults would also feel more secure having them.

After snorkeling, I spent a relaxing time on a boat with my daughter, enjoying the beautiful sea while riding on a SUP (you don't have to stand). On the way back, everyone was happily dancing to live music, and we were all healed by the aloha music at the end, creating a special memory.

As for snacks, there weren't any meals like sandwiches, and only donuts were provided (which ran out early due to competition), so it's better to bring your own if you think you'll need more. Coffee is made by getting the grounds and adding hot water yourself. Alcohol is available for a fee. There are two toilets, but they don't have automatic flushing, so you have to use the water from the bottle inside the toilet to flush it yourself.

スタッフの方は皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたが、周りはネイティブの方がほとんどでアナウンスやサービスも英語のみなので日本語でサービスをご希望の方には不便に感じるかもしれません。中は長ベンチと長テーブルの席になっていてグループごとに案内してくれます。

アクティビティは充実しており、夫はビーチバレーを楽しみ、小学校一年生の子供は持参した浮き輪、水中眼鏡と貸し出しがあったライフジャケットでトロピカルなお魚たちを大興奮で見ていました。珊瑚の所は歩けるみたいなので、怪我防止に子供のビーチシューズ(海中で履ける)は必須だと思いました。大人もあった方が安心です。

私はシュノーケリングの後、娘と好きなようにSUPに乗ったり(立たなくていい)綺麗な海を見ながら船でのんびり過ごしました。帰りはライブミュージックでみんな楽しくダンスしていて最後はアロハミュージックに癒されて特別な思い出になりました。

軽食ですが、サンドウィッチなど食事になるものはなく、ドーナツしか用意がなかったので(争奪戦で前半になくなる)足りない人は持参した方が良いです。コーヒーは粉をもらって自分でお湯を入れます。お酒は有料です。
トイレは２つありますが、自動洗浄はなくトイレの中に置いてある水ボトルの水を自分で流します。

We enjoy the activity......................................

The magician has a wonderful personality and entertains everyone. It's fun to see the magic up close. It would be even better if there were non-alcoholic cocktails available.

マジシャンがすごくよい人柄で、みんなを楽しませていただきます。間近でマジックをみると楽しいですね。ノンアルコールカクテルがあるともっと最高です。

If you’re debating on booking this, don’t—— Just DO It! My son and I had the best time with breathtaking view. Our tour guides were knowledgeable on the history and they were amazing photographers as well. Definitely take them up on their offer to take pictures of you and or the family.

Book the tour. You won’t be disappointed!

I had a great time with the cheerful crew who spoke broken Japanese. They were always there to help when I had trouble while canoeing in the sea. The banana boat ride was short but very enjoyable, and I was glad I signed up for it. It was a luxury to listen to live music while eating donuts on the boat. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

カタコトの日本語を話せる陽気なクルーと楽しい時間を過ごせました。海でカヌーをした際、困ったときはいつも助けてくれました。
バンパーチューブは短時間でしたがとても楽しく、申し込んで正解でした。
船の中ではドーナツを食べながら生歌を聴けて贅沢でした。
総じて大満足のツアーでした。

The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.

Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.

I participated in July. From the shuttle bus stage, I felt at ease with the Japanese guide, Fuko. There was also a restroom break at the port upon arrival.
The boat was clean, had a roof, and was comfortable. Many spinner dolphins came around the boat. Although the time spent searching for dolphins offshore was long, the snorkeling time was short, but I was able to swim with a turtle.
Lastly, even though the course I chose was one that could not be changed or canceled, thank you for accommodating my schedule change.

7月に参加してきました。送迎バスの段階から日本人ガイドのふうこさんと一緒で安心。到着した港では一旦トイレ休憩もあります。
船は清潔で屋根があって過ごしやすいです。たくさんのスピナードルフィンが船の周りに来てくれました。沖までイルカを探しに行く時間が長かったので、シュノーケリングの時間が短かったですが、亀と泳ぐことができました。
最後に私が選んだコースは日程の変更やキャンセルができないものだったにも関わらず、日程変更にご対応いただき、ありがとうございました。

I was not good with heights or screaming, but I didn't feel any sense of falling and was able to enjoy the stunning views. There were no Japanese participants or guides, but it wasn't a problem at all. The photo option was a bit pricey at $40, but I ordered it as a keepsake (I received it on an SD card, so I haven't checked the content yet). Considering that we did it together just once, I don't think the price is that high! It was amazing!

絶叫や高所が苦手でしたが、落ちる感覚は全くなく絶景を楽しめました。
参加者、ガイドには日本人はいなかったですが困ることはなかったです。
写真のオプションは40ドルと少し高めでしたが記念に残るので頼みました。(SDカードで受け取るのでまだ内容確認できていません)
一緒に一度と考えたら値段はそんなに高くないと思います！最高でした！

I had no experience with horseback riding, but it was enjoyable to see the well-trained horse respond to my commands. I also enjoyed the magnificent scenery.

乗馬の経験はありませんでしたが、よく調教されていて、しかも自分の指示に馬が反応してくれるのが楽しかったです。雄大な景色も楽しみました。

We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!

It was my first time overseas and my first parasailing experience, so I was anxious, but the kind support made it enjoyable from start to finish!

はじめての海外で初パラセーリングだったので、不安でしたが最後まで親切な対応で最初から最後まで楽しめました！

Mike our vip tour guide driver was awesome very knowledgeable and interactive making it fun

Loved the quick boat ride out! Felt like most of the time was spent waiting for people to arrive- didn't get a ton of time out on the sand bar

I had plenty of time and was very satisfied. However, it was a bit disappointing that there were many filming locations and I couldn't visit them all. My face got dirty from the dust.

時間も十分にあり非常に満足です
ただ映画の撮影場所が多く、全て回れなかったのがちょっと残念です
砂ぼこりで顔が汚れました

It was scary to ride a horse for two hours without reins, but the horse seemed to know the route it walks every day, so it helped me by walking on its own without me having to do anything. The view of the mountains, sea, and sky all at once was amazing.

馬に2時間手綱無しで乗るのは怖かったですが、馬は毎日歩いてるコースを歩いてる感じでこっちが何かしなくても自ら歩いてくれら感じて助かりました
山、海、空の景色を一気に見れて最高でした

I participated in the 150m jump since I was there anyway. The instructor primarily spoke English, but seemed accustomed to Japanese people, so there was no need to worry as they explained things in simple Japanese during the preparation. When I mentioned it was our honeymoon, the humorous instructor got everyone involved and made it lively. My companion was very scared, but once it started, the scenery was so beautiful that they forgot their fear. You need cash to take photos, but I’m glad I asked. They transfer the data to an SD card and smartphone.

せっかくならと150mで参加しました。
インストラクターの方は基本的に英語ですが、日本人に慣れているようで、準備の時は簡単な日本語で説明してくれるので心配ありませんでした。
ハネムーンだと伝えると周りの参加者を巻き込んで盛り上げてくれるユーモア溢れるインストラクターでした。
同行者はとても怖がっていましたが、はじまると景色がとても綺麗で怖さも忘れてしまったそうです。
写真を撮るのに現金が必要なのですが、お願いしてよかったです。
SDカードとスマホにデータを転送してくれます。

I received a helmet and goggles for rent, and they also provided a mask that fits on the face. The instructors primarily speak English, but there are explanations of the driving rules available in Japanese, so as long as you pay attention to the instructions, you don't need to worry. There are several photo spots along the way, and the instructors enthusiastically take pictures for you. If you go after watching Jurassic Park, it might be a great way to experience a pilgrimage to a sacred site. (It seems to be a filming location for another work as well.) There were also places where you could experience horseback riding, so I thought I would like to try that next time.

ヘルメット、ゴーグルはレンタルで顔につけているマスクのようなものはいただけました。
基本インストラクターの方は英語なのですが、運転のルールなどは日本語の説明も用意されているので、説明をしっかり観ていれば心配ありません。
ところどころ撮影スポットがあり、インストラクターの方が、ノリノリで写真を撮ってくれます。
ジュラシックパークを観てから行くと聖地巡礼を味わえていいかもしれないです。(別の作品のロケ地でもあるみたいです。)
他にも乗馬などが体験できる場所もあったので、次はそちらにも行ってみたいなと思いました。

The view from 150 meters high was very pleasant and absolutely amazing! The explanations at the reception and the instructions for putting on the belts on the boat were easy to understand. There were four groups on board, and we were the first, but taking off while receiving cheers from the other groups waiting on the boat and splashing into the sea was also a lot of fun!! My feet and backside got a little wet, but it dried quickly. Since it was a rare and valuable opportunity, I asked for a photo shoot, purchased an SD card, and transferred the data to my smartphone as well. I'm glad I asked for the photos since we couldn't take them ourselves.

150mの高さから見る景色はとても気持ち良く最高でした！
受付での説明、船でのベルトなどの装着説明も分かりやすかったです。4組乗船して、その中で1番目でしたが船で待っている他のグループの人達からの歓声を受けて飛び立つのも、海にポチャッと落ちるのもまた楽しかったです！！足とお尻が少し濡れる程度なのですぐ乾きました。
滅多にない貴重な機会なので写真撮影をお願いしてSDカード購入、スマホにもデータを移行させてもらいました。自分たちでは撮れない写真なので頼んで良かったです。

It was the best two hours, exceeding all expectations!! The vast canyon is definitely worth experiencing. The staff were all kind and fun. The kids had a great time as well. Since it's quite a distance from Waikiki, I think having a shuttle service is more convenient.

期待の何倍も以上に最高の2時間でした！！広大な渓谷は体験する価値あり。スタッフさんも親切で楽しい方々ばかり。子供達もとてもとても楽しんでいました。かなりワイキキから距離があるので送迎付きの方が便利だと思います。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I want to go to the sandbar! This time, the afternoon tour was a bit less crowded and it was so much fun. The bumper tubes were also a great addition!

ハワイに来たら毎回サンドバーに行きたくなります！今回は午後ツアーで少し空いていてとても楽しかったです。バンパーチューブもつけて最高でした！

Movie site tour was incredible, best scenery of east side of island.

The scenery was beautiful, and the breeze felt nice! It was also fun to dip into the sea when getting off! I would like to participate again.

景色も綺麗で、風もきもちよかったです！
降りる時に海に浸かってそれもまた楽しかったです！また参加したいと思います。

The weather was nice, and the view was amazing. It swayed a bit with the wind, but knowing the sea was below made it not so scary. I think those who are sensitive to motion should take motion sickness medication on the boat. I was mostly fine, but I felt a little queasy after getting off.

天気も良く、見渡す景色が最高でした。
時々風で揺れますが、下が海だと思うとそれほど怖くはなかったです。
船は揺れに弱い人は酔い止めが必要と思います。
私は大丈夫な方ですが、降りた後少し酔った感じがありました。

I have always wanted to go to Kualoa, and it was the perfect tour. The two-hour horseback riding course was ample and very satisfying, and I was able to relax on the comfortable bus during the round trip.

ずっとクアロアに行きたいと思っていましたが完璧なツアーでした。乗馬の2時間コースもたっぷりで大満足、行き帰りも安心のバスでゆっくり過ごせました。

We had a blast. We signed up for the banana boat add on…it was so much fun. The water was clear and waist deep. We saw turtles and lots of fish. Live music is interactive and the boat provides plenty of shade for when you need a break out of the sun.

I read reviews that mentioned it gets quite dirty due to the dust, so I went with clothes I wouldn't mind throwing away. However, since the weather was really clear, I didn't get that dirty after all. They also provided bandanas and goggles to cover my nose and mouth, so my face didn't get too dirty either. I think it's a good idea to bring wet wipes or something similar!

I had a lot of fun experiencing something I can't do in Japan!

砂埃でかなり汚れるとの口コミを見たので捨てても良い服で行きましたが、かなり快晴であったこともあり、そこまで汚れることはありませんでした。また、鼻と口を覆うバンダナとゴーグルが配られたので、顔もそんなに汚れなかったです。ただ、ウェットティッシュなどは持参すると良いと思います！

日本ではできない経験ができてとても楽しかったです！

It felt like we rode horses for two hours, and I was surprised we went much farther than I expected (laughs). The guides were all English speakers, but they were kind, using gestures and translating with their phones. At one point, the horse suddenly tried to run, which startled me, but I pulled the rope behind and it stopped right away, so that was good. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a wonderful activity.

2時間お馬さんに乗って回るかんじでしたが、思っていたよりもめっちゃ遠くまで行ってびっくりでした（笑）ガイドさん達はみんな英語でしたが、ジェスチャーだったり携帯で翻訳してくれたりと、親切でした。途中馬が急に走り出そうとしてびっくりしましたが、後ろに紐を引っ張ったらすぐ止まってくれたのでよかったです。景色も良くとても素敵なアクティビティでした。

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.

チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.

During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.

大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。

ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました！
また行く機会があったら参加したいです。
