All Reviews for Recommended for kids 8-12

My child wanted to touch a dolphin directly, so it was our first experience! Both the child and adults were moved, and I'm glad we went! However, since we booked the earliest time, the water in the pool was cold and it was chilly... Next time, I think I'll book around lunchtime so we can enjoy it more (laughs). After that, we watched the sea lion show, fed the birds, and enjoyed the scenery.

子供がイルカに直接触れたいと言うので初めての体験‼︎子供も大人も感動♫行って良かったと思います‼︎ただ朝1番ので申し込みしたのでプールの水が冷たくて寒かった...
次行った時もまた行きたいのでお昼ぐらいので申し込みしようと思います(笑)
その後はアシカショー見たり、鳥にエサをあげたり、景色を見たりしました。

Our guides were friendly and helpful. We rode along trails with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. Kualoa is a very scenic area

From the hotel pickup to the boat, Japanese was hardly understood, but the staff spoke broken Japanese regarding safety. Not being able to communicate in Japanese is part of the fun of traveling, and it was really great. I think it was also a stimulating experience for my middle school children. My 13-year-old daughter was scared at first, but it seems she enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

ホテルピックアップから船上まで、日本語は殆んど通じなかったけど、
安全に関する所だけは、スタッフがカタコトの日本語で話してくれました。
日本語が通じないのも、旅の楽しみだし、とっても良かったです。
中学生の子供達にも刺激になったと思います。
１３歳の娘も、始めは怖がっていたけど、景色もキレイで楽しめた様です。

Really good trip and got to see turtles up close, highly recommend

This is my several times visiting Hawaii. I usually do marine sports, but this time I participated in the Kualoa Tour for the first time. I wasn't expecting much, but I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I was able to relax and take my time. My elementary school children also said they want to go again! Next time, I want to ride a horse.

何度目かのハワイ。いつもはマリンスポーツ系だったのですが、今回初めてクアロアツアーに参加。あんまり期待していなかった？のですが、壮大なる自然に圧倒。悠々として、時間ものんびりすごせました。小学生の子供たちもまた行きたい！と。今度は馬に乗りたいです

I experienced this with my 5-year-old son. My son, who loves Ultraman, was thrilled to be able to fly like Ultraman. He was a bit scared just before, but the moment we took off into the sky, he smiled.
We also received photos on an SD card, and although it was $30, they turned out great, and we were very satisfied.

I would like to experience this again.

５歳の息子と体験しました。ウルトラマン好きの息子は、ウルトラマンのように空を翔べると大喜び。直前は少し怖がったけど、空へ舞い上がったとたん、笑顔になりました。
写真もSDカードでもらえて、30ドルだったけど、よくとれていて、大満足です。

また体験したいです。

I participated in parasailing at 90 meters with my daughter and husband. I was a bit scared and hesitated until the end, but my daughter strongly wanted to do it, and since it was our special trip to Hawaii, I decided to join.

As soon as we set sail on the boat, we put on life jackets and equipment, and before I knew it, we were up in the air since we were the first ones to go. It was exhilarating, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was amazing.

At the end, we had the usual splashdown. We barely skimmed the surface of the water, but the technique of calculating the wind and boat speed to get just a little wet was impressive, just as I had heard about their years of accident-free operation.

By the way, I kept my contact lenses in, and it was no problem at all. Also, our driver Yano was incredibly funny. We had a great time with his jokes (in English) on the shuttle bus. Thank you, Yano, for the fun memories! If you get Yano as your driver, consider yourself lucky.

Next time, I definitely want to challenge the 150 meters. I would love to use this tour again then.

娘と夫婦３人でパラセイリングの９０ｍに参加しました。少し怖かったので最後まで迷っていましたが娘の強い希望とせっかくのハワイ旅行なので参加しました。
ボートで出航するとすぐにライフジャケットと器具を装着し、いきなりトップバッターだったので、ドキドキする間もなく気が付いたら海の上でした。
爽やかな風の中、ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドを海上から見るのは最高でした。
最後はお決まりの尻ポチャ。
海面スレスレで水しぶきを上げる程度ですが、風やボートの速度とかを計算して、少し濡れる程度にする技術は、さすがに長年無事故と聞いていた通りのものでした。
因みにコンタクトレンズをはめたままでしたが全然問題なかったです。
それと送迎のヤノさんは最高に面白かったです。
お迎えのバスの中からヤノさんのギャグの連発（英語ですが…）で盛り上がりました。
ヤノさん、楽しい思い出ありがとう！送迎がヤノさんになった方は「当たり」ですよ。
次回は是非１５０ｍにチャレンジしたいですね。その時もまたこのツアーを利用したいと思います。

I had some anxiety about driving a rental car, so I joined this tour. On the day of the tour, there were 11 participants. I was a bit concerned about the old shuttle van and the unusable seat belts, but the explanations from our experienced Japanese guide were knowledgeable and diverse, making the journey feel like an enriching study session. The stop at the Dole Plantation, where we saw the "This is a tree" tree, was only about 20 minutes, so I recommend a different schedule for those who want to stay longer, but we didn't feel it was particularly short.

As we headed north along the North Shore, the guide explained the coastal scenery, and we split into two groups for free time in Haleiwa and horseback riding (the horseback riding group also had about 50 minutes of free time). We were taken to Macky's for garlic shrimp and were shown the main shops, making the short time quite fulfilling.

I was very anxious as a beginner with little explanation or guidance during the beach horseback riding, but there were seven of us in a line and another instructor accompanying us, who helped calm the horses and taught us how to hold the reins, allowing me to enjoy the ride. The beautiful scenery along the beach was breathtaking! It was about a 45-minute ride, but it was an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles on the sandy beach, but our persistent guide took us to a spot where we could see swimming turtles, using what seemed to be a local information network. I am grateful for that.

We returned to Honolulu before 4 PM, so we were able to go out afterward and had a meaningful day. It may indeed be a busy schedule, but I think this tour is packed with the joys of the North Shore and is enjoyable for everyone. I sincerely thank our guide, Syozou.

　レンタカーの運転に不安があり、このツアーに参加しました。
　当日ツアーに参加したのは11名、送迎のバンが古くてシートベルトが使えないなどは気になりましたが、ベテランの日本人ガイドさんの解説が博識で多岐にわたり、道中まるで勉強会のように充実していました。「この木なんの木」とドールプランテーションはほんの20分くらいの立ち寄りなので、長居したい方は違うスケジュールのプランをお勧めしますが、我々は特に短いとも感じませんでした。
　ノースショアも海岸沿いを説明しながら北上し、ハレイワで自由行動と乗馬の二手に分かれ、(乗馬組も５０分位自由時間あり)わざわざガーリックシュリンプのＭａｃｋｙsさんに連れて行ってもらったり、主要なお店を教えてもらったりしたので短時間でもかなり充実していました。
　海辺の乗馬、説明や注意が少なくて初心者の私はとても不安でしたが、７人の隊列の前後ともう一人付添いのインストラクターがいて、道草する馬をなだめたり引き綱をおしえてもらったりで楽しく乗馬できました。ゆっくりと歩く海辺の景色の美しいこと！４５分位の乗馬でしたが忘れられない経験でした。
　残念ながら砂浜でカメを見ることはできず、諦めないガイドさんが地元の情報網を駆使していそうな浜辺に立ち寄ってくれて泳いでいるカメを見ることができました。感謝。
　ホノルルには午後４時前に戻ってきたのでその後も出かけることができ、一日を有意義に過ごすことができました。確かに忙しいスケジュールかも知れませんが、ノースショアの楽しみが凝縮された、だれでも十分に楽しめる充実のツアーだと思います。ガイドのsyozouさん？に心から感謝します。

This was our family's first time visiting oahu and the ocean front horse back ride was by far our most favorite and memorable experience. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are very well cared for (my horse Ike is a retired polo pony). We even had the pleasure of a hawaiian pig named 'wilma' that thinks she's a horse escort our ride. We went on the sunset tour and the landscape is unlike anywhere I have ever seen, so peaceful and breathtaking. Would highly recommend this activity to other families, friends and couples!

It was my 7-year-old daughter and my wife who participated, and they said it was one of the best experiences among the optional tours, and their top memory in Hawaii. It seems they chose the sky over the sea.

7さいの娘と妻の参加でしたが、いくつか体験したオプショナルツアーのなかで、そしてハワイでの一番の思い出だったとのことです。海より空を選んだようです。

From the start til the end, it was a non-stop adventure. 3 guides were with us, and we all had a blast! The ATV ride around the farm to get to the platform was fun and educational. They showed us different tropical plants like guava, mango, papaya, banana and so much more. The zipline and the view was just spectacular. I could do it again and again. They even had a rope climbing machine, and my arm is still sore from it! Overall, this was excellent and worth every penny. If you go to the North Shore, you need to put it in your bucket list. Highly recommended!

I participated in this tour about seven years ago, and I decided to join again this time. The program content and the pool have changed due to renovations since my last visit. The value felt much better back then.

The program lasted about 30 minutes, during which we listened to the staff's instructions and explanations. We mainly interacted with the dolphins by extending both hands forward to have the dolphin rest its chin on them for a smile photo towards the camera. Another pose was a handshake with both hands. Unfortunately, that's all there was for interaction.

Since the counterpart is an animal, the pricing might be higher, but previously, activities that included swimming with the dolphins were offered at a lower price. So, I can't help but feel disappointed. Since my children are no longer toddlers, I don't think we'll participate in this tour again in the future. However, it might be a suitable program for small children or elderly individuals. If you're bringing children in upper elementary school, I think including programs where they can swim together would enhance their satisfaction.

By the way, after the nearly 30-minute photo session, you can purchase photos for about $18 each (though I'm not entirely sure, that's what I remember), around $30 for two, and a little over $40 for three. Previously, you would buy printed photos, but now it's available as data on a CD. This aspect has improved.

7年ほど前に1度参加させていただいたことがあるツアーでしたが、今回2回目の参加を決めました。
以前とはプログラムの内容やプールが改修等により変わっていました。
お得感は断然昔の方がありました。
30分ほどのプログラムになりましたが、スタッフの方から注意事項や説明を聞き、主にイルカと触れ合えるのは両手を前に出して、そこのイルカの顎を乗せてもらいカメラに向かってスマイル写真を撮影。もう1パターンは両手で握手のポーズで撮影。
触れ合いと言ったら残念ながらこれだけです。
相手は動物。とゆうことで料金設定も高めなのかもしれないですが、以前は一緒に泳げるアクティビティがこの料金以下のプライスで含まれていたので、やはり残念感は否めません。
子供たちも幼児ではなくなったこともあって、次回以降のこのツアーの参加は・・・ないかなぁと。
ただ、小さいお子さんやご年配の方にはちょうどいいプログラムなのかもしれません。小学校高学年以上のお子さんをお連れなら、一緒に泳げるなどのプログラムが含まれていた方が満足感は得られるような気がします。
ちなみに30分弱の写真撮影のプログラムを終えたあとは、1枚18ドル（確かではないですがそう記憶しています）2枚で30ドルちょっと、3枚で40ドルちょっとの写真を購入することも可能です。
以前は現像した写真を購入する形でしたが、今はCDRのデータで購入になっています。
この点は良くなったところかな。

Nice experience, but really too short. Probably because we were too many on the boat, with too little time for the turn. We stayed in the air for only 5 minutes. But anyway it was exciting and they are very professional. And they take beautiful pictures, in case someone would like to buy (I did).

On my first trip to Hawaii, I signed up for parasailing at my husband's suggestion to create unforgettable memories by the sea. As someone with a fear of heights, I was quite nervous, but as we gently ascended and stabilized in the air, my fear quickly faded, and I was able to enjoy the aerial stroll! The view of Waikiki's ocean and cityscape was amazing, and I experienced the thrill of watching birds fly below me. The guide's skills were excellent, and I was truly glad to participate.

I shared the ride with one other person, and we were able to take pictures of each other. There was someone with a video camera, and I thought it was great to capture such a precious experience. If you ask the guide, they can take professional photos for $30.

The boat swayed more than I expected, and since others were on board while we were parasailing, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication. Thank you for a wonderful time and unforgettable memories!☆

初めてのハワイ、思い出に残る海遊びをしようと旦那さんの提案でパラセイルに申し込みました。
高所恐怖症の私はかなり緊張していましたが、フワリとゆっくりあがり空中でも安定しているためすぐに怖さはなくなり、空中散歩を楽しむことができました！ワイキキの海や街並みを一望でき景色は最高、鳥が自分より下を飛ぶという興奮する時間を過ごすことができました。
ガイドさんのテクニックも素晴らしく、本当に参加してよかったです。
１1人で同乗したのですが、お互い写真を取り合いっこもできました。ビデオを持ってきている方がいて、貴重な体験を記録できるのでいいなと思いました。ガイドさんに依頼すると３０ドルで本格的な写真を撮影・販売してくれます。
船は意外と揺れ、他の人がパラセイル中も乗っているので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むのがオススメです。
素晴らしい時間と思い出をありがとうございました☆

Great experience. We booked quite last minute but they still managed to confirm our booking quite quickly. Although the submarine ride is only 45 minutes, transporting out there was also great for sight seeing. No fluffy colorful coral, but lots of fish and some turtles! Tour guide also gives some history of the sites. Educational and fun experience- felt like discovery channel.

Our family of four, including my wife, our 6-year-old son, and our 4-year-old daughter, all participated! Due to age restrictions, we couldn't swim together, but we were all very satisfied as we kissed, shook hands, and touched the half-whale, half-dolphin, known as a wolphin! Our daughter, who isn't very comfortable in the water, was also overjoyed, so it must have been quite a thrill for her. The adults were also very excited! The wolphin is said to be unique in the world, and since our group happened to interact with a wolphin, the staff told us we were very very very ×3 lucky! Next time, I would like to interact with regular dolphins as well!

家族4人、妻、6歳の息子、4歳の娘と全員参加しました！年齢制限で一緒には泳げなかったですが、クジラとイルカのハーフのウォルフィンとキスしたり、握手したり、体を触ったりと、家族全員大満足でした！水が得意でない娘も大喜びでしたので、よっぽど嬉しかったのでしょう。大人も大興奮でした♪ウォルフィンは世界にここにしかいないと言われていて、たまたま、私たちのグループのお相手がウォルフィンだったので、スタッフからは very very very ×3　Lucky！！！と言われました。今度は、普通のイルカとも触れ合ってみたいです♪

My sister and I have some experince riding horses and were very excited after booking this excursion. When we arrived, it was clear that the horses were well taken care of. The guides, Sarah and Gina, were amazing!! They were very alert and attentive to those who had never ridden before, were informative about the island, answered all of our questions and they were sure to get us to the sunset view in time. Safety was a first priority and Sarah and Gina were very aware of taking great pictures of all of us. The only suggestion I have is that booking this excursion requires a car. We took the bus to the last stop on the route then had to walk three miles to the polo club which was fine on the way in but we had to hitch a ride on the way back because it was after dark and we were not comfortable walking back to the bus stop.

I participated with my 5-year-old and 1-year-old children. It was a rare experience to interact with dolphins, and both of them were very happy. There aren't many activities available for children starting from 1 year old, so it was definitely the right decision to make a reservation from Japan. However, I had booked for 9:30, but for some reason, it was changed to 11:00 when I checked in on-site. I thought it might be related to not having a shuttle service and going by rental car, which made me a bit anxious. However, it actually allowed us to take a light look around the park before that, and we were able to navigate the park efficiently, so I recommend 11:00 for those who are going by rental car.

5歳と1歳の子供を連れて参加してきました。
イルカと触れ合うなんてなかなかできない体験で、二人ともすごく喜んでくれました。
1歳から参加できる、アクティビティはあまりないので、日本から予約をして参加して大正解でした。
ただ9:30で予約していましたが、現地でチェックインした際になぜか11:00に変更されてしまいました。今回送迎なしで、レンタカーで行った関係かなと思い、少し不安がありましたが、逆にそれまでにパーク内を軽く見ることができ、効率よくパークを回ることができたのでレンタカーで行かれる方は11:00がおすすめです。

Could not have been better; we specifically chose this shark encounter since they book fewer people on the boat and it was just what I had in mind. We had 10 total on the boat. The captain and mate were both knowledgeable and professional but definitely made it fun. Took a few extra minutes to show us the whales also. Highly recommend these guys.

When I first saw the horse, I felt scared because of its size, but once I got on, it was very smart and I was totally fine. The scenery was absolutely stunning. After two hours, my backside started to hurt a bit, though. (laughs) The hamburger and onion rings were incredibly satisfying and very delicious!

最初に馬を見た時は、大きさに怖いなぁと感じたけれど、乗ったらとっても賢くて全然大丈夫でした。
とにかく素晴らしい景色に感動です。さすがに2時間だと後半はお尻が痛くなります。笑
ハンバーガー&オニオンリングは食べ応え抜群で、とても美味しかったです♪

Our guides were great, they were Sarah and a lovely red head from CO, I don't remember her name.
I have always wanted to ride a horse on, on, a beach, not near one, not within view of, on a beach. Splashing in the water. This ride was not on a beach and should not be advertised as such.

I participated in this tour seeking to interact with dolphins. It’s a popular tour, and since there were no openings at my preferred time, I joined the 9:30 start course. However, we arrived at Sea Life Park after 9:30, and perhaps to shorten the program time, the distance we swam with the dolphins was shorter than expected, which was disappointing. (Those in the later program swam a longer distance with the dolphins.) Aside from that, I was satisfied to swim with the dolphins. Two dolphins pushed against the soles of my feet, and I was able to hold onto their dorsal fins while swimming. As a 55-year-old man, I felt a bit shy about kissing a dolphin. My wife took some great photos of the moment. The Royal Swim program is a bit pricey, but you can't swim with them in other programs. I recommend the later time slots.

イルカとのふれ合いを求めてこのツアーに参加しました。
人気ツアーで、希望時間に空きが無かったので、９:３０スタートのコースに参加しましたが、シーライフパーク到着は９：３０を過ぎてしまっており、プログラムの時間短縮を目指してなのか、イルカと泳ぐ距離が短かく残念でした。（遅い時間のプログラムの人は長い距離をイルカと泳いでいた。）
その点を除き、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができ満足でした。
２頭のイルカが足の裏を押してくれたり、２頭の背びれにつかまって泳いだりできました。
５５歳の男にとっては、イルカとキスをするのは照れました。写真は家内にしっかり撮ってもらいましたが・・・。
ロイヤルスイムのプログラムは少し高価ですが、その他では一緒に泳げません。遅い時間のプログラムがお勧めです。

This was my second time parasailing, and I couldn't forget the excitement from my first experience, so this time I went even higher, up to 300 meters, the highest available. The view of the beautiful ocean and mountains was amazing, and it felt like we were up there for more than 10 minutes. The staff were very kind; I had read reviews saying they asked for tips even though it was included, but I wasn't asked for a tip at all, and they only asked if I wanted to take pictures. On the way back, instead of being dropped off at the hotel, I was taken to Ala Moana Shopping Center, which saved time and allowed for a smooth transition to my next destination.

パラセイルは二度目で一度目の感動が忘れられず今回は更に高く一番高い300Mに乗りました。
一面の綺麗な海と山の景色は最高で時間も10分以上あったように感じられました。
スタッフの方も優しくてよくチップも込みなのに要求されたと言う口コミを見ますが全くチップなんて言われなかったし写真は撮るか聞かれた位でした。
帰りもホテルではなくアラモアナショッピングセンターで降ろしていただき時間にロスがなく次の目的地までスムーズに行けました。

While riding on the boat and being entertained by the fun captain, my turn came around in no time.

As I soared high into the sky with my child, there awaited a quiet and beautiful world in the sky that I had never expected.

Although it was a short time, I thoroughly enjoyed it over the waters of Honolulu.

Thank you very much.

船に乗り、楽しいキャプテンに盛り上げられているうちにあっという間に自分の順番が。

子供と一緒に天高く舞い上がるとそこには、全く予想をしていなかった静かで美しい空の世界が
待っていました。

時間にすれば短いものでしたが、ホノルルの海の上、充分堪能できました。

ありがとうございました。

The 4 of us had a great time! We have 2 14 year old boys with us. They saw turtles, large ones, fish, etc. The guys on the catamaran were really nice; a really fun cruise. My son wants to go again; we'll see.

Our guide was Greg. He was so sweet and genuine. As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.

This was the most fun I've ever had paragliding! The height of 120 meters is appealing, but the long time spent in the air allowed me to enjoy the scenery slowly. The parachute is colorful and beautiful, so taking photos and videos turns out really nice. Even though it's early in the morning, you can return to the hotel quickly and still have plenty of time to play afterward. Also, if you ask the staff, they will take photos for you. They put about 30 photos on an SD card for $30. I realized this after I finished, so I didn't have any photos, but if you ask, you can get some wonderful pictures. It's so much fun, so definitely give it a try!

今まで経験したパラセイリングの中でも一番楽しかったです(*^^*)
120メートルという高さも魅力ですが、空中での時間が長くて、ゆっくり景色を楽しめました(^-^)v
パラシュートがカラフルでキレイなので写真やビデオに残すと、とってもキレイですよ(*^^*)
早朝だけどホテルに戻る時間も早いので、その後もタップリ遊べますよ(*^^*)
それと、スタッフに頼むと写真を撮ってくれます(*^^*)
30枚前後の写真をSDカードに入れてくれて30ドルです(*^^*)
私は終わってから気づいたので写真はなかったですが頼むと素敵な写真も手に入りますよ(*^^*)
とにかく楽しいので是非チャレンジしてくださいね＼(^o^)／

I was nervous about this being our first experience, including for the kids, but all the staff were warm and made us feel safe to participate. I was particularly impressed by the girl at the reception, who had a lovely smile and was very cute.

子供達含め初めての体験に緊張しましたが、
スタッフ全ての方が暖かく、
安心して参加できました。
特に受付の女の子が、素敵な笑顔で可愛らしかったのが印象的でした。

I had a wonderful time at the spacious ranch in the North, swaying gently on horseback in the pleasant breeze! The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, deep green forests, blue ocean, and the dazzling sunlight created a vivid landscape that not only left a lasting impression but also provided an incredible sense of freedom, refreshing my spirit.

Although the staff spoke only English, they were friendly and spoke slowly and kindly to us, even though we are not very proficient in English. Wrapped in a warm atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time, so I highly recommend it! 😊

　ノースの広～い牧場、心地良い風に吹かれて、のんびりと馬の背に揺られてきました！！
空の青色、白い雲、牧草のみどり色、森の深緑色、海の水色、眩しい太陽の日差し、鮮やかな景色が目に焼きつくだけでなく、抜群の解放感で精神的にリフレッシュでき、ホント良かったです。
　言葉は英語のみですが、あまり英語が得意でない日本人の私達にフレンドリー且つ、ゆっくり優しく話してくれ、スタッフの方はアットホームで親切でした。
　ほんわかオーラに包まれ、非常に楽しくリラックスした時間を過ごせますので、ぜひお勧めです。＾＾

It was a great trip there and back. Everyone was really friendly and the driver engaged in conversation and made us all comfortable.
