All Reviews for Recommended for kids 8-12

There were not many fishes as I thought, but I saw two sea turtles.

Our parasail was amazing!! Highly recommend these guys, friendly, professional, and totally capable. Would recommend to others to experience this.

I was a little worried about attending a Luau on top of a parking garage. It turned out to not be a problem. They decorated the venue very nice and we were in the shade the whole time, which really helped. The food was wonderful, with a wide selection for everybody, even the kids. The acts were fantastic! I took a star away for the location not being by the ocean and the tight seating arrangement.

The crew was very kind and fun to be on the boat with. The captain are the ride a ride of our lives! Would go back to them any day

The cruise before boarding the submarine was enjoyable, and once we were on the submarine, the waves were calm, allowing us to see many fish, which was great. It was brief, but I was lucky to see a sea turtle swimming.

Inside the submarine (especially at the feet), it was cold due to the air conditioning, so I thought it would be good for those who are sensitive to cold to have something to wear.

Next time, I want to take my parents with me.

潜水艦に乗るまでのクルーズも楽しかったですし、
潜水艦に乗ってから、波も穏やかで沢山の魚など見れて良かったです。
一瞬でしたが、ウミガメも泳いでるのがみれてラッキーでした。

潜水艦の中（特に足元）はクーラーで寒かったので、寒がりの人は
何か羽織るものがあれば良いかなっと思いました。

次回は親を連れて行ってあげたいです。

I visited the Bishop Museum with 15 members of my hula class and experienced a hula lesson. Although the hula teacher was absent and we had an assistant instead, I was very satisfied to receive an authentic hula lesson. Everything was explained in Japanese except for the hula teacher, which made it very easy to understand.

フラ教室メンバー１５名とビショップミュージアム見学と、フラレッスンを体験して来ました。
フラの先生は、先生が不在で助手の方でしたが、それでも、本場のフラレッスンを受ける事が出来て大満足です。
フラの先生以外は全て日本語でとても分かりやすかったです。

I was able to interact with dolphins for the first time. It's a rare experience that you can't easily have, and I can brag about it to my friends after returning to Japan. The price is high, but I think it's worth it. There's a huge difference between doing it and not doing it.

初めてイルカと触れ合えました。こんな貴重な体験はなかなか出来ないしにほんに戻った後も友達に自慢出来ます。料金は高いですがやる価値はあると思います。やるのとやらないのでは全然違いますよ

I wanted to take my time sightseeing in the North, but I ended up getting garlic shrimp as a souvenir and eating it by the sea. I was looking forward to things like Matsumoto Shave Ice, and I had made a list to enjoy... but I was disappointed. Horseback riding was fun!

ノースな、ゆっくり観光したいのに、ガーリックシュリンプをお土産にして、海で食べました。まつもとシェイブアイスとか、楽しみにして、リストアップして楽しんでに…ガッカリ
乗馬は楽しかったです！

I challenged the 120-meter ride with a discount in the morning. It was higher than I expected! It was good up to a point, but I got really scared (sweat). However, the sea was beautiful and the view was amazing. I was lucky to see a sea turtle. Please be careful as the boat can be rocky.

割引の効く朝一の120メートルに挑戦しました。
思ったより高い！
途中までは良かったのですが、怖くて怖くて(汗
でも海はｷﾚｲで見晴らしも最高でした。
海亀も見れてラッキーでした。
ボートは揺れるので注意してください。

Since experiencing horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I haven't been able to forget the joy of riding, so I participated in this horseback riding session. Although I was a bit anxious about this being my second time and a long ride, the result was... it was incredibly fun!!!

The horses are very well-trained and respond well. However, I think it has to be in English... (or is that just my imagination?). With just a few commands like "stop," "slowly," and "go," along with some control of the reins, they respond remarkably well. I felt that just controlling the reins alone wasn't very effective, but when I added verbal cues, they responded perfectly.

The horseback riding was so enjoyable that time flew by. I definitely want to participate again.

For North Shore tours, since there isn't much time available for riding, I highly recommend this for those who want to focus on horseback riding! That's why I give it a perfect score!!

Although we got caught in traffic along the way, thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we took a detour and avoided a bad situation. On top of that, we were able to enjoy some great sightseeing on an unexpected route.

途中、渋滞に巻き込まれたが、ガイドさんの機転で回り道をしてひどいことは回避された。その上、予定外のコースを通っていい観光ができた。

The concept is great. Transport is reliable, clean and on time. The tour guide, Harry, was entertaining and very friendly. The only thing we would suggest is that surfing be offered as one of the activities - it is after all what the area is best known for!
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an active day.

Did this activity 18 March 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed it. All seats have amazing views, informative and fun guide and plenty of one-off photo opportunities. We saw turtles and sting rays along with huge fish and an array of pretty smaller ones. Would be happy to do this activity again! Thank you!

SO glad we did this! It was exhilarating, a bit scary but down right fun! Can have a completely dry experience but we wanted to be dunked into the beautiful blue ocean and it was not as cold as I thought it would be! Very professional staff, felt completely safe and having it all photographed and being able to purchase the photo card was excellent. For something a little "out there" - go parasailing!

I participated with my child, and thanks to the careful instruction, both of us were able to ride the waves in our dream destination, Hawaii. By the end, we were exhausted and a bit wobbly, but we had a blast until we were both completely sun-kissed. It was so much fun!!

子どもと一緒に参加したのですが、丁寧な指導のお陰で２人ともあこがれのハワイの波にのることができました。
最後の方は体力が続かず、フラフラでしたが、２人とも真っ黒になるまではしゃぎました。
とても楽しかったです！！

We had a great horseback ride. We left at 3:30. Our guide was very helpful. Great views! It was a first horseback experience for two in our party and all went well. Well worth the time and money.

The crew was very personable and really knew what they were doing. The driver was attentive to his duties and paid attention to driving the boat at all times. That was definitely a good thing. The crew member that was hooking us up was joking with us and really seemed to be enjoying himself. Some of our bunch was apprehensive and he really put them at ease. The parasailing experience itself was amazing. Very quiet and tranquil.I would say it ranked in the top two excursions we went on. Very pleased with the experience.

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

At first, I had a scary image of it, but honestly, I think it could have been a bit more expensive. My friend, who has a fear of heights, was scared, but if not for that, we had the opportunity to enjoy the view!

初めは怖いというイメージがありましたが、
正直もう少し高くても良かったと思っています。
高所恐怖症の友人は怖がっていましたが、
そうでなければ、景色を見る余裕もありました！

I think it's rare to have a horseback riding experience in such a natural setting. The paths are not overly maintained, which adds a casual and enjoyable feel. The guide provides attentive service in Japanese as you travel from the hotel to each point. There may be variations depending on traffic conditions and whether you encounter sea turtles, but it's best to participate with a relaxed mindset, keeping those factors in mind.

こんな自然の中で乗馬体験はなかなかできないと思います。整備されすぎていない道に日常的な感じがあって楽しいです。
ホテルから各ポイントまでは、ガイドさんが日本語で丁寧に対応してくれます。
交通状態よる時間的余裕の有無、海亀と遭遇できるかなど日によって左右される部分もあると思いますが、それらを了承した上で気持ちにゆとりをもって参加されるのがベストです。

We used this for our honeymoon. The weather was clear and perfect for parasailing.

Besides us, there were a group of six students and a couple, and we all boarded the boat together. I wanted to ask for some photos, but I didn't know where to request them, so unfortunately, I couldn't make a request. However, I handed my phone to one of the students who was with us to take some pictures. I put another phone in a waterproof bag and hung it around my neck to take photos from the sky.

This time we went up to 120, and it felt amazing with the blue sea and sky spread out in front of us; I was so excited! It felt like we were floating for quite a long time. I kept saying how amazing it was. It wasn't scary at all, so next time I want to challenge the highest one!

ハネムーンで利用しました。
天気も快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和でした。

私たちの他に、学生６人組と、カップルがおり、一緒にボートに乗って出発しました。
写真をお願いしたかったのですが、どこでお願いすればいいのかわからず、結局申込みできなかったのが残念です。
しかし、一緒に乗っていた学生の方々に携帯を渡しとってもらいました。
もう一つのケータイは防水の袋に入れて首からぶらさげて上空から撮影しました。

今回は１２０にしましたが、とっても気持ちよくて目の前には青い海と青空が広がり大興奮でした！結構長い時間浮いていた気がします。
ずっとすごーいといっていました。
全然怖くなかったので、一番高いやつに次回は挑戦したです！

The ocean was beautiful, and swimming with the sea turtles was incredibly fun! Kyōhei was surprisingly easy to talk to and explained things clearly, which made it really enjoyable! I thought it would be great to go to the same place next time I visit Hawaii! Thank you!

海は綺麗で、ウミガメと一緒に泳いで、サイコーに楽しかったです！
恭平くんが見た目のわりに（笑）フランクでしゃべりやすくて説明も分かりやすくて、本当に楽しかった！
次ハワイ行くときもおなじとこがいいなーって思いました！ありがとう！

I participated with my daughter. I had read in the experiences that people get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medication and was able to enjoy the trip without feeling sick. (It does sway quite a bit, and there are times when waves splash on you.)

I think there were a lot of people participating. (The boat seats were full.) We were probably the only ones who went to the highest point at 150 meters, but even the foreigners said they should have gone higher. I requested photos (all participants did), and I’m glad I did. I didn’t wear a swimsuit, so I declined the water splash, but I regret that. Next time I participate, I will definitely go for the water splash.

It was really great.

娘と二人で参加しました。体験談で船酔い注意とあったので酔い止めを服用して行ったので酔わずに楽しめました。（かなり揺れるし、波がかかる事もあります。）
私が参加したのは多分大人数でした。（船の座席が満杯）高さ150メートルとこの船で一番高かったのは私たちだけでしたが、外人さんももっと高いのにすれば良かったと言ってたくらいです。写真を頼みましたが（この参加者は全員頼んでました。）私は頼んで良かったです。水着を着ていなかったので水ポチャは断りましたが、後悔しています。次回参加する時は思い切り水ポチャを頼みます。

本当に良かったです。

I've always dreamed of horseback riding, and I'm so glad I got to experience it for the first time! Since the duration was long, I was a bit anxious at first, but the person who took us was very knowledgeable about Hawaii, and I had such a fun time that it flew by! I want to go again!

ずっと乗馬に憧れていて、初体験できてよかったです！！所要時間が長かったので、最初は少し不安でしたが、連れてってくださった方がすごくハワイに詳しく楽しい時間を過ごせてあっという間でした！またいきたいです！！

Had a great time!! Our tour guide, Honda, was friendly and knowledgeable.

even though i dont have any horseback riding experience before, i was truly enjoyed it. Beautiful horses are pretty well trained. No worries even for beginners.. plus, a staff was accompanied us on a horse, checking any possible problems back and forth.

I was able to fully enjoy places other than Waikiki. The horseback riding in the canyon is something that is hard to experience in Japan, so the kids were very satisfied. It was great that even my 9-year-old son, who is small for his age, could participate.

ワイキキ以外を、満喫できました。渓谷の乗馬は、日本でわなかなか体験することが出来ないので、子供たちが満足していました。9歳の小さな体型の息子でも参加出来て、良かったです。

I experienced this during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii. In fact, I had signed up last year as well, but unfortunately, it rained...

Finally, my wish came true, and I was able to fly!

The weather was great, and a bus came to pick us up from the hotel, so we had no problems getting to the location. We boarded the boat and set off. The wind felt nice, and there were six groups flying during our time. There was a family of four from Brazil who split into pairs, two couples that seemed to be on their honeymoon from Japan, and a pair of Japanese girls.

We sat at the front of the boat, and we would fly in the order we sat.

I was nervous until it was our turn, but since we were the third group, I felt reassured watching the people in front of us fly. When it was finally our turn, we put on the harnesses, and before we knew it, we were counting down from 1, 2, 3, and rising into the sky.

We ascended much more quietly than I expected, and once we were up in the air, I couldn't hear the sound of the boat's engine at all. It was truly peaceful, and it felt like a serene stroll in the sky.

I signed up for 90 meters, but I had no idea how high we actually went. I couldn't tell if there was much difference between us and those who went to 150 meters.

I wasn't sure how long we were flying, but it felt like just the right amount of time. Before we returned to the boat, we skimmed the surface of the water, and I got a little wet from the splash. We were squealing with excitement, but the people who flew after us were much quieter and seemed to be lowered quite a bit closer to the water.

After three more groups flew, while we were still on the boat, the staff pointed and shouted, "Whale, whale!" When I looked in that direction, I saw a whale's tail, and we even got to do some whale watching!

The time spent in the air was just right; if it were any longer, I might have gotten bored, but it was also not too short, making me want to do it again.

I had seen in this post that I could buy an SD card for $30, so I purchased it. They take a considerable number of photos, so I think it's worth buying.

For what to bring, $30 and a tip (we gave $20), a towel, and a camera are sufficient. I think it's best to go with a small bag.

I was too scared to take my camera up in the air, but if you have a waterproof one that you can hang around your neck, that might work.

The Japanese couples were taking pictures of each other from the boat.

However, the staff were really good at taking photos, so if you're going to spend $30 to buy them, you might not need to take your own.

I go to Hawaii every year, so I definitely want to do this again next time!

新婚旅行でハワイに行った時に体験しました。実は昨年も申し込みしていたのですが、あいにくの雨で…。
念願叶って空を飛べました！

いいお天気で、ホテルまではバスが迎えに来てくれて、何も問題なく現地まで行けました。
船に乗っていざ出発。
風が気持ち良く、私たちの時は6組が飛びました。
ブラジル？の女のファミリーが4人で2人ずつに分かれてと、日本人の新婚旅行らしきカップル二組、日本人の女の子2人組でした。

船で先頭の方に乗って座った順に空を飛びます。

飛ぶまではドキドキでしたが、3組目だったので、前に飛んでる人たちを見てからで、なんとなく大丈夫そうだと安心し、いざ自分たちの順番。

金具をつけたら結構すぐに1.2.3.とカウントされ船から空へ上がります。

思ってたよりもはるかに静かに空へ少しずつ上がり、空の上は船のエンジンの音も聞こえないので本当に静かで空中散歩しているかのように穏やかに飛んでいました。

90mで申し込みましたが、実際はどれくらい上がってるのか、150？の人とどれ位差があるのかは全く分かりませんでした。

何分くらい飛んでいるのかよくわからなかったですが、程よい時間あげてもらい、最後に船に着く前に海面に足が着く位にスレスレを飛ばせてくれたりと、遊びこごろもあり、履いていたハーフパンツは少し濡れるくらいでした。

キャーキャー言っていたので、程よく水に濡れた位でしたが、私たちの後に飛んだ人たちは、静かだったので結構お尻が着く位に下げられてました。

その後3組が飛んだのですが、船に乗っている間に、スタッフが『ホエール、ホエール』と指を指していたのでその方向を見るとクジラの尾びれが見えて、ホエールウォッチングまでできちゃいました！！

空中にいる時間が本当に程よく、もっといたら飽きるかもだけど、物足りなくもなく、またやりたいって思える位の時間でした。

写真もこの書き込みを見ていたので30ドルでSDカードの購入ができることも事前に知っていましたので、購入しました。
かなりの量を撮ってもらえるので買ってもいいと思います。

持ち物は30ドルとチップ（私たちは20ドル渡しました）、タオルとカメラがあれば充分です。小さめのバッグで行くのがいいと思います。

カメラは怖くて空には持っていけませんでしたが、首から下げたりして、かつ防水であればいいかもしれません。

日本人カップル達は、お互いに船から撮ってもらっていました。

ただ、スタッフさんがかなりいいかんじで撮ってくれるので、30ドル出して買うのであれば、そうしなくてもいいかなって思いました。

毎年ハワイに行くので、また行く時にはやりたいと思います！

We used this for our honeymoon trip!
In the morning, we were picked up at the hotel and first went to the "What Tree Is That?"! We took some photos and spent about 15 minutes there, which was just right!
After that, we headed to the Dole Plantation! Since it’s a souvenir shop, we had a nice break for the restroom!
After leaving Dole, we had some free time in the town of Haleiwa! We bought coffee, ate some garlic chicken, and also had Matsumoto Shave Ice!
Just when we were satisfied, we headed for horseback riding! It was my first experience, but the horses were cute, and we could ride leisurely through the valley! I was glad to take photos with my own camera!
After that, we went to Iri Beach and encountered a honu basking in the sun!
It was a very good tour! Next time, I want to try horseback riding in the ocean too (≧∇≦)!

P.S. Our guide, Mr. Sakai, was also a nice person!

新婚旅行で利用しました！
朝、
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、まずはこの木なんの木へ！写真を撮ってこの木なんの木を見学して滞在時間は15分くらいでしたが、ちょうどよかったです！
その後、
ドールプランテーションへ！お土産もの屋さんなのでトイレ休憩がゆっくり出来ました！
ドールを出て、ハレイワの街でしばしの自由時間！
珈琲を買ったりフリフリチキンを食べたり、
松本シェーブアイスも食べました！
ちょうど満足した時間帯に、乗馬に向かいました！初体験でしたが、馬もかわいいしゆったりと渓谷の中を乗馬出来ました！しっかり自分のカメラで写真も撮ってもらえて良かったです！
その後は、アイリービーチに行き、甲羅干ししているホヌに遭遇！
とても良いツアーでした！次回は海の乗馬にもチャレンジしたいです（≧∇≦）

追伸 ガイドのさかいさんも良い方でした！

One of the greatest things we did at our three weeks vacation in Hawaii!
