All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It was my first experience, and it felt absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to those who are not sick. The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean made me feel like a bird—it's an exaggeration, but it felt like flying in the sky.

初めての試みでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。病気がない方には是非オススメです。ワイキキビーチが海から眺められて鳥になった気分とは大げさですが空を飛ぶ感じです。

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.

もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

I participated with a friend. We were picked up by car from the hotel and gathered at the office near the beach for a short lecture while watching a video, then headed to the beach for a surfing experience. There are lockers available for personal belongings. When I asked the staff if there was a security box, they lent me a key that could be attached to the locker. I put my passport and wallet there without any issues.

I brought a rash guard just in case, but there were plenty available for rent, and my friend borrowed one without any problems. I was worried about not understanding English, but they provided an instructor who spoke Japanese, so there were no language issues.

There were five people in the group, and some participants were there alone. Once we got into the water to start surfing, it was a cycle of getting on the surfboard, being swept close to the shore, paddling out, and getting back on the board, so I think being alone wouldn’t be a problem.

As others have mentioned, you can generally ride the waves. Let's try to enjoy as much as we can within the time! One thing to be cautious about is the rocks and coral under the water. I injured my foot relatively early on, but I continued without worrying too much.

Even if you get hurt, there are first aid supplies at the office, and I used them as well. This became my best memory of my stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

友達と2人で参加しました。
ホテルに車で迎えに来てもらい、ビーチ近くの事務所に集まり、動画を見ながら短時間の講習、ビーチに行ってサーフィン体験という流れです。
私物はロッカーがあり、入れられます。
事務所の方に、セキュリティボックスはあるか聞くと、鍵を貸してもらえ、ロッカーに取り付けられます。パスポートや財布はそこに入れ、問題ありませんでした。
ラッシュガードは念のため買って行きましたが、貸し出し用のものがたくさんあり、友達はふつうに借りていました。
英語がわからず不安でしたが、日本語が話せるインストラクターの方をわざわざつけていただき、言葉の問題はありませんでした。
グループは5人で、1人で参加している方もいました。実際、海に出てサーフィンに乗り出すと、サーフィン乗る→岸付近に流される→沖までパドリング→サーフィン乗るの繰り返しなので、1人でも気にならないと思います。
あとは他の方の体験にあるように、基本的に乗れます。時間内で出来るだけトライして楽しみましょう^_^
一点だけ、海面下にある、岩やサンゴには気をつけましょう。私も足を割と序盤に怪我しました。気にせず続けましたが。
怪我しても応急処置用品は事務所にあり、私も使わせてもらいました。
ハワイ滞在で一番の思い出になりました^_^
ありがとうございました！

The kids are experiencing Hawaii for the first time! They were really excited about the first attraction. It was just cold! I think it would be better if there were more freedom with taking photos. I wasn't sure if we could take our own or if it was part of the local service. Well, at least the kids had a great time, so that's good!

子供たちは始めてのハワイ❗️一発目のアトラクションでして、とても興奮していました。ただ寒かった‼️
写真なんかはもっと自由度があるといいと思いました。自分達で、撮っていいものか現地のサービスなのか。
まぁでも子供たちはめっちゃ楽しかったということで良かったです。

The tour time is limited, and we gathered at 6:50 AM to board the bus, but I thought it might have been okay to meet a bit later. We had about 30-50 minutes of free time in the morning, which left the kids a bit bored.

After that, we moved according to the schedule, so I was satisfied. Since it takes a whole day during our stay in Hawaii, I wonder how that will work out, but I recommend it.

日本人向けの日本語の、ツアーの時間は限りがあるのか、あさ6:50に集まってバスに乗ったのですが、もっと、遅くても大丈夫なんじゃ無いかとは思いました。30-50分程度朝少し空いたので、子供が暇になりました。

そのあとは時間で動いたので、満足です。
ハワイの滞在の一日使うので、そこがどうかな？とは思いますが、おススメです。

Dan's an experienced guide for us first timers. They provide rx lenses for masks. The weather was just perfect. But I was just too seasick to swim further to see more fish :(

We did parasailing in pairs, and while others were up in the air, the crew made jokes and kept the atmosphere lively, which was a lot of fun! The view of Honolulu from above was beautiful and amazing! It sways a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.

順番に二人ずつパラセイリングをしたのですが、他の人が上に上がっている間、クルーの方がジョークを言うなど盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです！上からホノルル一望を眺め、とてもきれいで最高でした！少し揺れるので、酔いやすい人は、薬を飲んだ方が良さそうです

The boat crew was very fun, always teasing us a little and making us laugh, which made the experience really enjoyable.

The three South American people who were riding with us were also friendly and engaged in conversation, which added to the enjoyment.

Since we were both flying together, we couldn't take pictures of each other, but it was great to chat while flying and have a lively time together.

ボートのクルーがとても楽しい人で、ちょっかいをちょこちょこ出してくれたり、笑わせてくれたりしてとても楽しかったです。

一緒に同乗していた南米系の3人組の方たちも気さくに話しかけてくれて、とてもエンジョイできました。

二人一緒に飛ぶので、お互いの写真を取り合うことはできなかったのですが、一緒に話しながら飛べたので、きゃーきゃーワイワイできてよかったです。

The explanations in Japanese were very helpful. The child who was a little scared to ride the submarine became excited and started looking around underwater once we dove in.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication.

日本語で説明もあって、とても助かりました。
潜水艦に乗るのを少し怖がっていた子供も潜りだしたら、興奮して海の中を眺めていました。

酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

The staff spoke very friendly Japanese and chatted with us the whole time, which was really fun. They helped us catch waves that were easy to ride, and I was able to stand up! I even felt like I wanted to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves! It was that fulfilling!

とてもフレンドリーな日本語を話せるスタッフがいて、ずっと喋ってくれてとても面白かったし、サーフィン自体も乗りやすい波に乗せてくれて立つことができました！！もう少し大きな波に挑戦もしたくなりました！そのくらい達成感があります！！

This was a great snorkeling trip. The boat was great and the crew was outstanding. My son had a blast. The turtles were amazing. the lunch was good and overall an outstanding experience. Thanks for a great time.

I was a bit anxious because the bus didn't arrive on time at the meeting place, but it came about five minutes late.
Inside the boat, there were no other people from Japan, so I was nervous because I couldn't understand what was being said.
However, they taught us how to ride using gestures, which made it really enjoyable! During the parasailing, I even got to see dolphins, which was very moving.
I was able to experience parasailing in the vast and beautiful ocean of Hawaii, creating wonderful memories.
I also purchased an SD card containing the photos taken for $33, and I'm looking forward to seeing them.
We were able to return to the hotel mostly on time.

集合場所に時間通りにバスが来なかったため少し不安もありましたが、５分過ぎたあたりに来ました。
ボート内、説明の方とも日本から来た人がいなかったため、話してる内容が分からなくて緊張しました。
ですが、ジェスチャーで乗り方を教えて下さったのですごく楽しむことが出来ました！ パラセール中にはなんとイルカも見ることができ、とても感動しました。
ハワイの広く大きな海でパラセーリングを体験することができ、素敵な思い出が増えました。
撮影して下さった写真のデータが入っているSDカードも、３３＄で購入でき見るのが楽しみです。
だいたい時間通りにホテルに戻ることができました。

Our guide Toshi was very polite and made the tour enjoyable! The round trip to the waterfall was a wild adventure in the rain, but I was able to soak in plenty of negative ions and recharge my energy! The lunch we had at Kapiolani Park was also fantastic!

ガイドのトシさんが丁寧かつ楽しくご案内してくれました！滝までの往復も雨の中のワイルドアドベンチャーでしたがマイナスイオンをたっぷり吸ってパワーチャージできました♪♪
カピオラニ公園で頂いたお弁当も最高でした！

The waves were strong, and many people got seasick. We were able to see sea turtles, but since they were diving, we couldn't see them clearly, which was disappointing.

波が強かったみたいで船酔いする人が多かった。
ウミガメは見れた。しかし潜っているため綺麗に見えなかったので残念。

Fortunately, I was able to encounter a sea turtle! I also got to swim alongside a large school of fish, making it an unforgettable experience.

ラッキーなことにウミガメに遭遇することができました！魚の大群とも一緒に泳ぐことができ、忘れられない経験になりました。

Two guides accompanied the nine participants. The guides carefully observed the overall condition of the participants while searching for sea turtles. Thanks to their solid support, even I, who cannot swim, was able to participate until the end without dropping out. I was worried about the cold due to my slim build, but I rented a wetsuit, so I managed to endure it (though I was shivering in the second half). I was able to see cute sea turtles, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

9名の参加者に対して2名のガイドさんがついてくれました。
ガイドさんはウミガメを探しながらも参加者全体の様子をよく観察しています。
しっかりとしたサポートのおかげで泳げない私でも脱落することなく最後まで参加できました。
痩せ型のため寒さを心配していたのですがウェットスーツをレンタルしたのでなんとか耐えられました。（後半は体が震えていましたが）
可愛いウミガメを見ることができてとてもいい思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

I had a very enjoyable and great experience! When I was blown by the wind up in the air, it shook quite a bit, and I felt a little scared. But that added to the thrill, and it was good!

I was looking forward to being able to take photos and purchase them for $30, but it seems I needed to apply before getting on the boat, so I was disappointed that I couldn't get the photos... I think I'll make sure to check properly next time.

とても楽しくいい経験ができました！
上空で風に吹かれた際にかなり揺れて、少し恐怖を感じました。ですがそれもスリルがあってよかったです！

写真を撮っていただけて30ドルで購入できるとのことで楽しみにしていましたが、船に乗る前に申請する必要があったようで、写真をもらえず残念でした…次からはきちんと確認しようと思います。

I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Based on various reviews, I prepared shoes that I wouldn't mind throwing away after the trip. However, the weather held up, and my shoes didn't get too dirty. The mud was heavy and difficult to wash off. Since it was slippery, sneakers are the best choice. There were many mosquitoes, so insect repellent is a must. Water and raincoats were provided. The guide explained about the forest plants, but the walking pace was a bit fast. The lunch on the way back was delicious, but the side dishes in the bento varied slightly from person to person, with some having a lot of root vegetables.

You can go individually, but having a guide was beneficial for the information provided.

以前から行きたいと思ったいたので、楽しみにしていました。いろんな口コミを参考に、帰りに捨てても良いような、靴を用意しました。しかし、天候崩れず、靴もたいして汚れずに済みました。赤土で重く、汚れたら落ちにくい泥です。滑りやすいので、スニーカーがベストです。蚊が多いので、虫除けは必修。水とカッパは、用意されていました。ガイドさんは、森の植物など説明してくれますが、歩くペースが少し早いです。帰のランチは美味しかったのですが、お弁当のおかずが、人によって多少違っており、芋類が多いものもありました。
個人でも行けますが、ガイドがつくと情報も入るので良かったと思います。

I had a hard time communicating at the reception to see if I could board earlier than planned. Also, I was anxious because I couldn't communicate in Japanese on the ferry to the submarine. Once I got on the submarine, I was disappointed to find that there were surprisingly few beautiful fish.

予定より早い行動となり、受付で乗船を前倒し出来ないか伝えるのに、一苦労しました。
また、潜水艦への連絡船でも日本語が通じず不安でした。
潜水艦に乗ってからは、意外に綺麗な魚が少なく期待ハズレでした。

My son was SUPER excited to go snorkeling so we booked a day through Veltra. Our driver showed up within 5 minutes of our pickup time (a feat with traffic) and got us going. He was very personable and helpful in getting us our equipment. We had an AMAZING day at Hanauma Bay (reef-safe sunblock only, people!) He was right on time for our pickup and turned on the AC so we could sit comfortably while waiting for the rest of the guests to return. We had a great amount of time to be in the water and had so much fun! My son got an acceptance call to the first choice college while we were waiting. Our driver said Congrats and even again as we were getting out of the van. It
was a fabulous day.

The kids experienced the 150m ride! They were a bit nervous since it was their first time, but the cheerful local guy really got them excited! He even took photos for us, and thanks to him, we had a very enjoyable time on the boat both while waiting for the kids' turn and after it was over! I plan to sign up again the next time I go to Honolulu! The shuttle also arrived on time in front of the hotel, which was reassuring.

子供達が150ｍ体験しました！初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ノリノリで盛り上げてくれた陽気な現地のお兄さん‼️
写真も撮ってくれたり、子供達の番がくる時も終わってからもボートの上はお兄さんのお陰でとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました❣️
次回ホノルルに行く時も申し込もうと思ってます！
送迎もホテルの前に時間通り来てくれたので安心でした。

It was my first experience, but I wasn't scared. I took some footage with my phone. I rode with two other people. We went for 150 meters.

初体験でしたが、怖くありませんでした。自分の携帯で様子を撮りました。他の人２人と一緒に乗りました。１５０Mにしてみました。

I've come here so many times, but this was my first time paragliding. The staff took photos at just the right moments, making it an amazing experience. Just before a once-in-a-hundred-years hurricane hit, the clear skies and the height of 150 meters were fantastic. I want to participate again!

こんなに何回も来ているのに初めてパラセイリングをしました。スタッフの人もいいタイミングで写真を撮ってくださり、最高の体験になりました。
100年に一度のハリケーンが来る寸前で、快晴の中、150メートルの高さは最高でした。また参加したいです。

Participants in their 40s and 50s, as well as a 22-year-old and an 11-year-old, joined in for sailing in pairs. Everyone had a great time. The boat ride to and from the location was refreshing and exhilarating. It takes about 5 minutes to easily get from Hilton Village to the boarding area. For those staying at the Hilton, it's recommended since you can walk there. Just a heads up, you might get a little wet, so be prepared for that!

40台、50台　22歳　11歳で参加。2人ずつでセーリング。みんな楽しめました。行き帰りのボートでの移動も、カセをきって爽快そのもでした。ヒルトンビレッジから乗り場まで、5分位で容易に移動できます。ヒルトンに滞在してる人は、歩いていけるのでお薦めです。ちょっとだけですけど、濡れるのでそれなりの覚悟が必要ですよん

I signed up for parasailing. I chose this tour because it allows for more specific time slots compared to other tours, and the travel time is shorter. The initial scheduled date was canceled due to strong winds, but I received the cancellation notice early, so we were able to spend the day meaningfully without wasting time. We had the option to change the date or cancel, and we quickly chose to change the date! If you're considering a date change right before returning home, it can be difficult, so I recommend scheduling weather-dependent activities for the earlier part of your trip!

The explanation for parasailing was in English, but the consent form was in Japanese. We were paired with two other couples who were not Japanese. Since it was our first time, I was nervous about how we would ascend into the sky, but that feeling was only for a moment. We were soon soaring high above!

From the moment we went up, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery! It was breathtaking! The photos cost $30, but unlike some theme parks, you get 75 pictures on an SD card, which is a great deal. Since the photos are ones that can't be taken with a selfie stick, I decided to purchase them.

When a larger person ascended, the boat's speed increased, which added to the fun! My husband said, "I want to do this again. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 150 meters."

パラセイリングに申し込みました。他のツアーより時間が細かく指定できること、移動時間も少ないことから決めました。
当初の予定日は強風で中止に。中止連絡も早めにもらえたので、当日も有意義に無駄なく過ごせました。日程変更かキャンセルを選択可能。私たちは迷わず日程変更！帰国前日などの場合は日程変更が難しいので、天気に左右されるものは旅の前半に予定することをオススメします！
パラセイリングの説明は英語ですが同意書は日本語でした。日本人以外のペア2組とツアーへ。最初だったのでどうやって空にあがるのかわからずドキドキしましたが、それは一瞬。すぐに大空へ！！
上がった瞬間から景色の素晴らしさに感動！感激！
写真は30ドルですが、どこかのテーマパークと違いSDカードで75枚も入っていてお得です。自撮り棒では撮れない写真ばかりなので購入しました。
大柄の人があがる時は、ボートのスピードが速くなりそれもまた楽しめました！
夫も「またやりたい。次回は150mにチャレンジしたい」と言ってました。

They provide personalized advice. It was great that I could choose the length of the board. I wanted to learn every day! The next day, I tried a local spot, and they were able to tell me about the point as well. It's reassuring to have staff who can speak Japanese. Thank you, Jimmy!

個々にあったアドバイスをしてくれます。板の長さも選ばせてくれて、良かったです。
毎日習いたかった！翌日はローカルポイントに入ってみましたが、ポイントのことも教えてもらえました。日本語できるスタッフがいるのも心強いです。ジミーありがとう！

I splurged a bit and got the Diamond Seat. Since it's priority entry, you hardly have to wait. The stage is close. You get some snacks before the meal (other grades don’t include this). You can start the buffet right away. Anyway, the stage is so close that the atmosphere is incredible. Everything is in English, so I can't fully understand, but I get the gist and enjoy it quite a bit, so no worries. It was drizzling, but they provided ponchos. Right after entering, there's the customary photo opportunity. They come around to sell photos during the meal, but it's fine to decline. The photos are quite expensive at $50, but I usually buy them as a keepsake at other shows too. Looking around, it seems like Japanese people are declining while foreigners are buying. The buffet isn't luxurious, but it's not bad. The hula and luau were wonderful. If you participate, definitely go for the Diamond Seat. The middle grade is directly in front, but it's behind the Diamond.

ちょっと奮発してダイアモンドシートにしました。
優先入場ですのでほとんど待ちません。ステージが近いです。食事前のおつまみが付きます（他のグレードはなし）。ブッフェは最初にスタートできます。とにかくステージが近いので臨場感半端ないです。全て英語なので完全に理解できませんが、何となく理解できてそこそこ楽しめます、心配ありません。雨交じりでしたがポンチョの配布もありました。入場直後にお約束の写真撮影があります。食事中に売りに来ますが断って問題ありません。写真は50ドルとかなりお高いですが、まあ記念にと他のショーでも購入しています。周りを見ると日本人は断り外国人は買っている感じです。ブッフェも豪華ではないですが悪くないです。フラ、ルアウとも素晴らしかったです。参加されるならダイアモンドシートですね。真ん中のグレードは正面ですが、ダイアモンドの後方です。

I participated in a lesson at 8:30 AM with one adult and one 6-year-old child. It was my first experience with surfing, and since I'm not a strong swimmer, I was quite nervous. I walked to Waikiki Beach to ensure I wouldn't be late for the meeting time, and I was immediately impressed by the wonderful location!

With my excitement building, the lesson began with a one-on-one session with an American trainer. He mixed in some broken Japanese and gave us simple explanations on the beach before we quickly grabbed our surfboards and headed to the ocean. Before I knew it, we started practicing standing on the board, following the American style of teaching.

Despite some failures and being guided by the trainer, I managed to stand up on the board. A photographer also entered the water and captured amazing footage, making the dream-like experience pass by in no time.

Even after returning home, I'm still excited while watching the footage. Thank you for the fun lesson!

朝1番8:30からの予約で大人一人と6歳の子供一人の二人で参加しました サーフィンは初めての経験で泳ぎも得意ではないので内心ビクビクでした 集合時間に遅れない様歩いてワイキキビーチに行き先ずは素晴らしいロケーションに感動!
テンションが高まる中でアメリカ人トレーナーと一対一でレッスン開始 片言の日本語を交え簡単な浜辺での説明を受けて早速サーフボードを抱えて海へ あれよあれよと思う中 習うより慣れろとばかりにボードに立つ練習開始 聞いてはいましたがアメリカ流レッスンです
トレーナーに乗せられ失敗しながらも何とか立ち上がれました カメラマンも海に入って素晴らしい映像も撮っていただき夢のような時間があっという間に過ぎ去りました
帰国後も映像を観ながら盛り上がっています 楽しいレッスンありがとうございました

Had a great time and the guides were hilarious! Saw a ton of turtles and fish!

Diving about 88 feet with the submarine, I was able to see various fish and turtles, which was a valuable experience. I also appreciate the timely arrangements for the pick-up service.

８８フィートぐらいサブマリンで潜って、いろいろな魚やカメを観ることができて、貴重な体験ができました。送迎アレンジも時間通りでご案内いただき感謝しております。
