All Reviews for Recommended for kids 8-12

The staff were amazing; friendly, funny and full of knowledge. Felt safe the whole time, and the sights themselves were amazing. Seeing sea turtles, sharks, eels, stingrays and schools of fish on sunken ships was amazing. Worth every penny.

They had water and bathrooms on the boat, just not on the sub. But time seems to fly by down there, you’re in a different world.

During the horseback riding, the guide was earnestly explaining various stories related to the scenery. I couldn't understand much since I don't speak English, but I felt that those who could understand English would have enjoyed it even more.

My horse seemed to be older and was tired during the latter half, walking slower than the other participants. On steep inclines, it almost slipped, and since it’s a living creature, I couldn't rush it. However, I was also mindful not to fall too far behind, as it could inconvenience the other participants.

Overall, the horses were calm and knew the route, so even though it was my first time riding, I was able to complete the course without any issues.

After the horseback riding, I appreciated that the guide shared the photos he took along the way via AirDrop.

乗馬中、ガイドさんが色々と景色にまつわるエピソードを一生懸命説明してくれていた。自分は英語が話せないのでほぼ理解できずだったが、英語がわかる人ならさらに楽しめたんだろうなと感じた。

自分の乗った馬が高齢なのか後半は疲れており、他の参加者の列より遅れて歩いていた。
傾斜のきついところではすべりそうになったりしており、生き物なので無理に急かすこともできず、かといって遅れすぎると他の参加者の迷惑にもなるので、気を遣った。

馬は総じて大人しく、道も覚えているので、初めての乗馬だったが問題なくコースを回ることができた。

乗馬終了後、ガイドさんが道中に撮ってくれた写真をAir Dropで共有してくれたのがありがたかった。

It was a very powerful performance. In Hawaii, hula shows are held everywhere, but I don't think there are many fire dances using torches. It was a memorable show.

とても迫力ある演出でした。ハワイではそこかしこでフラショーが行われていますが、トーチを使ったファイアーダンスはあまり無いと思います。印象に残るショーでした。

The expensive seats are of course close to the stage, but I thought it was a good deal to be guided to the front rows if you line up early in the regular seats. The area is flat without any steps, and you watch the show while eating at a U-shaped buffet. There were six dancers and one host, which felt like a larger group than I expected. Both types of seats had the same buffet options. It seemed like the people in the expensive seats took their food first, followed by those in the regular seats. One fun service was that they offered to draw tattoos on your arm with a magic pen if you wanted!

価格が高い席はステージから近いのはもちろんだけど、普通席で列に早く並んで前の方の席に案内されたらお得だと思いました。段差がある訳でもなく平坦なところでU字でビュッフェを食べながらショーを見ます。ダンサーさんは6人で司会1人でそれを思ったより大勢でみる感じでした。ビュッフェはどちらの席も同じものを食べます。高い席の人から取っていき、普通席の人が取っていくという感じでした。楽しかったのは腕にマジックペンでタトゥーを書いてくれるサービスが希望すればあったことです！

First of all, I admit my own fault, but when I arrived at the meeting point exactly at 11:00 for the boat that was scheduled to depart at 11:00, it left right in front of me. In the end, I was able to change to the next boat an hour later.

As for the view from the submarine, the water clarity was low, and there were only a few fish; I saw a small shark once or twice at most. My 3-year-old child started to get bored after about 10 minutes, and the crew talked non-stop for an hour, which was quite painful for us since we didn't understand English. The foreign guests on board also seemed to be smiling awkwardly and didn't look like they were having much fun.

As an experience, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it once, but when I calmly looked back at the cost, I concluded that I definitely wouldn't do it a second time.

まずこれは自分も悪いんですが、
11時出発の船で11時ピッタリに集合場所に着いたら、目の前で出発されてしまいました。
最終的にはその1時間後の便に変更してもらえましたが。
あとは潜水艦から見える景色も透明度低く魚が少し、一度か二度だけ小さいサメが見えた程度。
3歳の子供は10分ほどで飽き始め、
クルーが1時間ずっと喋りっぱなしで、
英語わからない自分達にはかなり苦痛でした。
乗ってる外国の方も苦笑気味であんまり面白そうな感じではなかったです。
体験としては一度経験する事は止めないですが、冷静に金額見返したらまず2回目は無いよね。という結論に至りました。

I got confused about the meeting point in the harbor and ended up getting dropped off on the completely opposite side, which meant I had to run through the parking lot. I couldn't get through on the phone and ended up being late for the meeting time. However, the staff at the shop were incredibly kind and switched me with the next group, allowing me to fly safely. At one point, I was really worried about what would happen, but their kindness was truly reassuring.

Once we took off, we quickly ascended to a high altitude, and the feeling of being able to overlook Waikiki was amazing—like being at the highest point in Waikiki! After the enjoyable flight, we had the customary Japon, and at the end, everyone who was on the boat together took photos and chatted in a friendly atmosphere. There were so many fun things to do besides flying, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat.

ハーバー内の集合場所がわからず全く反対側でタクシーを降りてしまい駐車場内を走ることに。電話をしてもつながらず集合時間に遅刻してしまいました。
ただショップの方が大変親切で次の便の方と入れ替えてくれ無事飛ぶことができました。一時はどうなるかと肝を冷やしましたがとてもやさしくして頂き本当に心強かったです。
飛んでしまえば一瞬で高いところまで上がりワイキキを一望する気分は「ワイキキで一番高いところにいる！」という感じ。
楽しい遊覧の後はお約束のジャポンもあり、一緒にボートに乗った人たちとも最後は和気あいあいと写真を撮ったり話したり。飛ぶ以外にも楽しいことがたくさんありました。ボートからワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見たりできるのもよかったです。

久々のパラセーリングを楽しみに家族と参加しました！空から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッド、真っ青な海はとても絶景！！ですが、想像よりも高く飛んだのでさすがに怖く（笑）浮遊してる時間もそれなりにあり、料金に見合った満足度の高い内容でしたが、高所恐怖症の人は絶対にできません！高いところが好きな方は絶対楽しめます。

We participated as a family of five. We had a packed two hours and it was so much fun. All the lockers for our bags were in use, which was a bit of a hassle, but they were able to hold our things at the ticket center. Plus, it was free, which was actually a lucky break.

家族五人で参加しました。みっちり２時間、めっちゃ楽しかったです。荷物のロッカーが全部使用されており、困りましたが、チケットセンターで預かっていただけました。しかも無料でした、むしろラッキーでした。

Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.

I arrived at the meeting place on time, but there were no tour staff, which made me anxious. Since everything is in English, I recommend joining a tour with Japanese-speaking staff for those who feel uneasy. For those who are okay with just a general understanding, the staff will explain things in an easy-to-understand manner, so please give it a try. I was able to see both sea turtles and wild dolphins perfectly!

集合場所に時間通りに着いたのにツアースタッフがいなくて不安になりました。全て英語なので、不安な方は日本語スタッフのいるツアーに参加される事をお勧めします。何となくでも良い方にはスタッフが分かりやすい言葉て教えてくれるので、参加してみて下さい。ウミガメも野生のイルカもバッチリ見ることができました！

Exceeded our expectations! The tours and guides are excellent. Buffet lunch was good.

This is my second experience. Last time, we had a fairly large group for an hour, but this time we challenged ourselves with a smaller group (6 people) for two hours. It was an experience with wonderful views of the sea and mountains. My wife, who experienced it for the first time, was very impressed, and we would like to try it again if we have the opportunity next time.

今回で2回目の体験になります。
前回は、1時間で結構な人数で体験しましたが、
今回は少人数(6名)のグループで2時間に挑戦しました。
海と山の素晴らしい景色を見ながらの体験です。
今回、初めて体験した家内も大変感動しておりました、次回も機会あれば体験したいと思います。

I was able to visit the filming location of my favorite Jurassic Park, and since it included a 2-hour horseback ride, I chose this plan without hesitation. Although we couldn't stop at the filming location, I was very satisfied because I got to enjoy the beautiful scenery!

大好きなジュラシックパークのロケ地に行けること、2時間の乗馬がセットだったので迷わずこのプランを選びました☺︎
ロケ地に立ち止まることは出来なかったですが、綺麗な景色を見て回れたのでとても満足しています！

I participated with my child (a college student). Since there was no transportation provided, we walked a lot from our hotel, which was near Honolulu Zoo. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. Once we flew, the view was spectacular, and we enjoyed a different side of Hawaii. They don't provide drinks, so it's best to bring your own.

子供（大学生）と2人で参加しました。
送迎なしでしたので、泊まっているホテルが、ホノルルズーの近くで、ひたすら歩きました。集合場所が、わかりづらかった。
飛んでみるとかなりの絶景で、また違うハワイを楽しめました。飲み物とかは出ないので持って行くべきです。

The show was super entertaining! 10/10.
The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10

I participated with my 20-year-old nephew. We were a bit worried since both of us get motion sickness, but the boat didn't rock much, so it was fine. There were five groups of ten people, including us, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The moments of going up and down were thrilling, and during the descent, they made it a bit of a steep drop and let us down into the sea, which was a lot of fun. The view from above was breathtaking, and it was the best experience. I definitely want to participate again!

20歳の甥と2人で参加しました。2人とも乗り物酔いをするので少し心配していましたが、ボートもあまり揺れずに問題ありませんでした。私たち含め5組10人でしたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。上がる時と降りる時はスリリングで、降りる時は少し急降下させたり、海に降ろしたり、楽しませてくれました。上での景色は絶景で最高の体験ができました。またぜひ参加したいです！

It's very close to Hilton Village, and after enjoying the pool and lagoon, you can walk to the meeting point in your swimsuit!

ヒルトンヴィレッジからとても近く、プールやラグーンを楽しんだ後そのまま水着で歩いて集合場所まで行けます！

The scenery is beautiful, and we moved slowly on horseback. The horse was smart and well-trained. I rated it 4 points because my butt hurt after riding for two hours, but I'm glad I went.

すごく景色が良い所を馬に乗ってゆっくり移動していきます。馬は頭が良くてきちんとしつけられていました。
2時間乗っていた為にお尻が痛くなったので4点にしましたが、行って良かったです。

I participated with my daughter (18 years old). Since I'm not very comfortable with heights, we chose the 120m course. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and we were informed that the captain would decide whether to proceed, but we set sail safely, and all 13 participants enjoyed parasailing.

As mentioned in other reviews, there was some swaying (the boat was just the right size for the 13 participants that day; I think it could hold a bit more). I took motion sickness medication, but my daughter seemed to feel a bit seasick. I was fine, so I think it depends on the day's conditions.

The staff noticed my daughter's condition and flexibly changed her turn to an earlier time, allowing her to soar into the blue sky and enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Other participants were also concerned about her, which was very helpful.

I purchased the photos taken by the staff for $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and provided an SD card. Since the photos were taken from below, opinions on how they turned out may vary, but as they are digital, it's easy to enlarge and check them, and I think they make a nice keepsake. It seemed that other participants chose the 150m option, but even at 120m, there is a decent height, and I believe those who are hesitant can still enjoy this experience. My wife and son did not participate this time, but if they are interested, I would like to join again next time.

本人（50代）と娘（18才）の2名で参加しました。
あまり高いところは得意ではないので、120mのコースを選択しました。
当日は風が強く、ツアーの実施はキャプテンの判断との説明を受けましたが、無事に出航して、参加者13人全員がパラセーリングを楽しんでいます。
他の方のレビューにも書かれていますが、それなりに揺れがあります。（ボートは当日の13人で丁度くらいの大きさです。もう少しは乗れると思いますが。）酔い止め薬を飲み参加しましたが、娘は少し船酔いした様子でした。わたしは大丈夫だったので、その日のコンディションもあると思います。
スタッフの方が娘の様子を見て、臨機応変に早めの順番に変更してくれたので、娘も青空に舞い上がり、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの風景を楽しむことができました。他の参加者の方も娘の様子を気にかけてくださり、助かりました。
スタッフの方が撮影してくれた写真は40＄で購入しました。iPhoneへのデータ転送とSDカードが貰えます。写真は下から撮影されるので、撮れ方は賛否あると思いますが、デジタルデータなので拡大して確認することは容易ですし、良い記念なったと思っています。他の参加者は150mを選択されていたようですが、120mでもそこそこ高さがあり、尻込みされている方はこちらでも楽しめると思うので、参加されたら良いと思います。妻と息子が今回不参加だったので、次回、希望があれば、また参加したいと思います。

I participated yesterday. It was for my honeymoon. The instructor was entertaining, and I felt safe and enjoyed myself. The view of the ocean from high up was amazing, and Diamond Head was beautiful as well.

昨日参加しました。新婚旅行での参加です。インストラクターが面白くて、安心して楽しめました。高い空からの海の眺めは最高で、ダイアモンドヘッドも綺麗でした。

The journey had a lot of ups and downs, and although the speed wasn't very fast, it was enjoyable. The tour guide's explanations were only in English, so it might be tough if you can't listen well. My spouse and I didn't understand anything at all, but we still had a great time. The scenic viewpoints along the way were amazing.

道中はアップダウンの激しい道で、スピードはそんなに速くないけど良かったです。ツアーガイドの解説は英語のみなので、リスニングが出来ないと苦しいかも。我々夫婦は全く分からなかったですけど楽しめました。途中の絶景ポイントが最高でした。

We did jet skiing, bumper tubing, and parasailing. The staff were able to communicate in Japanese, and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Our family of five had a great time, and everyone said they really enjoyed it.

ジェットスキー、バンパーチューブ、パラセーリングをしました。
スタッフの方との会話も日本語で出来るし、とにかく皆さん大らかで対応が良く家族5人でしたが皆んなとても楽しかったと言ってました。

I participated with my 9-year-old son on August 18. Before making a reservation, I looked at the reviews and saw mostly negative comments, which made me hesitant, but we had a great time.

There was a small note on the boat suggesting tips, but there was no pressure to give them at all. We participated as a group of four, and no one paid tips. Regarding photos, they asked if we wanted to take some, and when I declined, they responded with a smile and said, "Don't worry."

The view over 100 meters is beyond words! The waves weren't high, and I didn't feel seasick. The staff primarily spoke English, but one of the assistants seemed to speak broken Japanese.

I came across some reviews that seemed a bit shady, but the girl at the reception was friendly and even gave us water.

Good experience!! Enjoy Waikiki!

8/18に9歳の息子と参加しました。
予約する前に口コミをみたら、ネガティブな投稿ばかりで、迷ってましたが、普通に楽しめました。

チップについては、ほしいな的な落書きが船内に小さく書いてありましたが、要求されることはまったくないありませんでした。実際に4ペアでの参加でしたが誰も払っていませんでした。写真についても撮るか？と事前確認があり、断りましたが、dont worry.と笑顔でやり取りしました。

100メートルオーバーの景観は筆舌に尽くしがたいです！波も高くなく、酔うこともありませんでした。基本的に英語のみですが、助手の人はカタコト日本語ができるようでした。
何となく悪徳っぽい口コミ見かけますが、受付の女子も感じよく、水もくれました。

good experience!!
enjoy waikiki!

I thought the show would take place by the lagoon pool, but it turned out to be an interactive experience in the lagoon itself. It seems like something that wouldn't be possible in Japan due to safety and hygiene concerns, haha. The life jackets are excellent and keep you upright, floating up to your chest.

When you stretch your arms out in front of you, the dolphins swim by and you can automatically pet them from head to tail. Not everyone may get this, but the instructor explained everything in perfect Japanese (maybe of Japanese descent? A local person), which was really helpful. In addition to the instructor, a Japanese person was in charge of guiding us from the meeting point to the lagoon and providing various instructions, which made me feel very secure.

For the dolphin photo op, they take two pictures: one as part of the package and another as an additional option. You can see it from the spectator seats at the lagoon, so if you have family members who aren't participating, they can take photos of the experience.

ショーをやるラグーンの横のプールで実施するのかと思ったら、まさかのラグーンに入っての触れ合いでした。日本だと安全面・衛生面で叶わなそうですｗ ライフジャケットは優秀で、直立で胸まで浮きます。
腕を前に伸ばして待つと、イルカが前を泳いで行って自動的に頭から尾まで撫でられるスタイルです。
全員ではないかもしれませんが、インストラクターが完全な日本語(日系？現地の方)で説明してくれて助かりました。インストラクターの他に、集合場所からラグーンまでの案内や諸注意を日本人が担当してくれたので、とても安心しました。
イルカとの２ショットは、既定の写真と追加オプション購入の写真の2枚を撮ってくれます。ラグーンの観客席から見えるので、参加しない家族がいれば様子を撮影できます。

I participated with my daughter. While on the boat heading out, we were told we were too light, which made us anxious, but another mom who was with us agreed to jump together, so we were able to experience it safely. That mom was able to jump twice, once with her family and once with us, so we are very grateful for her help, but I don't think we did anything wrong, haha. If you're told you're too light, I think it's okay to ask someone else on board, "Could someone jump with me?"

We flew high right away, and it was fun without any scary shaking. The flight time was satisfying.

The meeting point is at the JTB HiBus bus stop. After getting off at Discovery Bay, head towards the sea, and once you reach the water, turn left towards the Hilton Lagoon.

Whether or not to take photos will be confirmed when you jump. For iPhone users, you can use AirDrop, and for Android users, it was $40 to purchase the SD card. Card payments are accepted.

母娘で参加しました。沖に向かうボート内で、二人は軽すぎて駄目だと言われて焦りましたが、乗り合わせた他のママが一緒に飛んでくれることになって、無事に体験できました。そのママも自分の家族とうちの回とで2回飛べたので、こちらとしては名乗り上げてくれて大感謝ですが、悪いことをしたわけでもないと思いますｗ 軽すぎて駄目と言われたら、乗り合わせた人に「誰か一緒に飛んでください」とお願いしてもいいと思います。
すぐに高く飛び、特に揺れるような怖さもなく楽しかったです。飛行時間は満足できました。
集合場所は、JTBのHiBusのバス停 ディスカバリー・ベイで降りたら、海に向かい、海に着いたら左に曲がったヒルトン・ラグーンの前あたりです。
写真撮影するかどうかは飛ぶ時に確認されます。iPhoneだとAirDrop渡し、AndroidだとSDカードごと購入で40ドルでした。カード払いOK。

We participated with three middle and high school students and my spouse. Although it was a long two hours, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were very smart, making it an enjoyable experience. Once you start riding, it's non-stop for two hours. Make sure to use the restroom beforehand. Also, if you're not comfortable with hard seats, you might experience pain in your buttocks or the tops of your legs towards the end. I also felt some discomfort in my rear during the latter part. My wife and two children rated it as the best activity of our trip. The guide hardly spoke any Japanese, but I think if you watch the Japanese explanation video beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem for those who don't understand English regarding horseback riding. Additionally, only waist bags are allowed while riding. Other types of bags should be stored in nearby paid coin lockers or left at the reception desk (we had to leave ours at the reception due to a locker malfunction, so it's best to avoid bringing valuables).

There is an English sign at the dismounting area that says, "If you enjoyed and are satisfied, please consider tipping." I think a tip of around 15% is generally expected.

中高生3人と夫婦で参加。2時間という長時間ですが景色も良く、お馬さん達も大変賢く楽しむ事ができました。一度乗馬すれば2時間ノンストップです。トイレはしっかりと事前に済ませましょう。また、硬い椅子が苦手な方は後半お尻や足の付け根が痛くなります。当方も後半お尻が痛くなりました。妻と子供2人からは旅行中のアクティビティとしては最高評価でした。ガイドさんはほぼ日本語は通じませんが、事前の日本語説明ビデオを見れば英語が分からない方でも乗馬に関しては問題ないと思われます。また、乗馬の際にはウエストバックのみ着用可能です。他の形状のバック類は近くの有料のコインロッカーか、受付フロントに預けましょう（私たちはロッカー故障で仕方なく受付預かりにしました、極力貴重品は持って行かない方がいいです）。
「楽しめて満足できたらチップをよろしくね」と馬から降りる場所に英字の看板があります。原則15％～程度ののチップは必要かと思います。

Captain Amy and her crew made our day!

One of the highlights of our trip. We brought our very adventurous 2 and a half year old out with us to swim with turtles and the crew were amazing and supportive!

Thank you ladies for making our day. ❤️

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.

I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.

There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.

The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.

However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.

Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.

アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。

一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。

二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。

先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい！という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。

ただ、かなり日焼けします！
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。

あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
酔ったと言っている人がいました。

At Kualoa Ranch, there are tours available by buggy, bus, and bicycle, but exploring the vast landscape on horseback is truly exceptional. You can take photos with your phone using one hand, as long as you keep your left hand on the reins, but it's a good idea to prepare something to hang around your neck for added security. Additionally, large backpacks and hats will need to be stored in coin lockers that allow for multiple entries. Regarding horseback riding abroad, there are Japanese-language explanations provided in advance, and the horses are familiar with the tour routes, so I think beginners will be just fine. (This may not be limited to this experience, but in general, for beginner horseback riding, it doesn't feel like you are controlling the horse.)

クアロア牧場自体は、バギー、バス、自転車で回るツアーもありますが、広大な風景を馬で回るのは格別です。携帯での写真撮影は左手を離さないことを条件に片手での撮影可能ですが、首から下げるものを準備などしておくと安心です。なお、大きなリュック、帽子などは、何度も出し入れ可能なコインロッカーに入れる事になります。海外での乗馬と言う事に関しては、日本語の事前解説も準備されており、更に、馬さんは、見学ルートに慣れているので初心者でも大丈夫だと思います。（これに限ったことではないと思いますが、初心者向け乗馬全般的に、操作して馬を操っていると言う感覚ではない）

I challenged myself with my 3rd-grade daughter and my husband to a 150m adventure. The boat ride was fast and thrilling, and the parasailing took us up to a height close to the highest point, allowing us to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki. We really felt the essence of Hawaii.
