All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

They guys were awesome to deal with and worked hard as it was super windy!
We were scared though as the winds were so powerful and they struggled getting the shoot up.

There was one guide for five participants, and it seemed that my friend, who is not good at swimming, as well as the other participants, were all new to snorkeling. The guide taught us carefully, which made me feel at ease. There were plenty of fish, and we were able to see a sea turtle, so I was very satisfied!

5名参加のガイドさん1名でしたが、泳ぎが苦手な友人も他の参加者の方々も初めてのシュノーケリングだったみたいですが、丁寧に教えてくださっていて、安心しました。
お魚もたくさんいましたし、ウミガメも見ることができて、すごく満足でした！

I participated in the 150-meter plan. It was quite expensive, but I didn't feel scared at all. However, it was a bit frightening when we were swaying... (laughs) Since it was sunny, the view was very beautiful. You can see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach all at once. It was surprisingly cold up there, so I recommend wearing a rash guard or a T-shirt (something that can get wet) over your swimsuit. We moved by boat, and it swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking anti-nausea medication is a must.

There were two other Japanese couples on the same boat, and we took turns flying. We were the last ones, but we collaborated with the other couples to take photos and videos, and exchanged them via AirDrop afterward! While local people can take photos for you, it costs an additional $30 to get the data on an SD card. Since we didn't have any videos, I recommend collaborating with fellow tour participants to take videos and exchange them later if possible. By the way, we bought the SD card, but they take photos with a DSLR, so the quality is better than a smartphone. They captured moments like when we splashed into the water very well. There were about 60 photos included.

For those unsure about the height, I recommend the 150 meters! I have a slight fear of heights, but I hardly felt scared. I think the higher you go, the more beautiful the view is. I flew with my iPhone in a waterproof case and took photos from the sky as well. Just keep in mind that if you drop it, they won't retrieve it for you, so bring it at your own risk.

150メートルのプランに参加しました。とにかく高かったですが怖さはなかったです。ただ、揺らされた時は少し怖かったですが、、、（笑）晴れていたので、景色はとても綺麗でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチ沿いを一望できます。上空は意外と寒かったので、水着の上にラッシュガードやTシャツ（濡れてもいいやつ）を着ることをオススメします。船で移動しますが、結構上下左右に揺れるので苦手な方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
他に日本人カップルが2組おり、一緒の船で順番に飛びました。私たちは最後だったのですが、他のカップルと協力して写真・動画を撮り合い、終わった後にAirDropで交換しました！写真なら現地の方が撮ってくれますが、SDカードでデータを貰うのに別途$30かかります。動画はないので、ツアー参加者同士で協力できそうなら撮り合って後で交換するのもおススメです。ちなみに私たちはSDカードも買いましたが、一眼レフで撮ってくれるので画質はスマホより良いです。水ぽちゃした瞬間などしっかり収めてくれていました。計60枚程度入っていました。
高度で迷っている方は150メートルをおすすめします！私は若干高所恐怖症ですが、怖さはほとんど感じませんでした。高い方が景色は断然綺麗だと思います。私は防水ケースに入れたiPhoneをもって飛び、上空からも撮影しました。ただもちろん落としても拾ってくれないので自己責任で持ち込んでください。

I participated with my 2-year-and-11-month-old son. At first, he was scared, but as he got used to it, he started exploring the inside of the boat and enjoyed sitting and lying down on the net at the front. We also encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and there were dolphins that showed off their jumps and spins, which made my son very excited! It was a satisfying cruise, not only because of the beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean from the boat but also for the chance to meet the dolphins.

2歳11ヶ月の息子と二人で参加しました。
息子は最初は怖がっていたけれど、慣れてくると船内を散策し始め、前方のネットの部分にも座ったり寝転んだりして楽しんでいました。
また、イルカの群れに何度も遭遇し、ジャンプや回転ジャンプを見せてくれるイルカもいて、息子も大はしゃぎでした！
船上からのダイヤモンドヘッドや海の美しい眺めだけでなく、イルカにも出会えて大満足のクルーズでした。

The tour itself was very satisfying.

On the way there, we were picked up at the hotel, but we weren't on the way back... It seemed that other Japanese groups and the foreign group we were with on the bus were called out, but our family was ignored... We felt sad because no one spoke to us. Do we need to report for the return trip...? Since there was nothing we could do, we walked to Ala Moana Center. It was quite a distance, and my feet started to hurt (>_<).

ツアー自体はとても満足でした。

行きは、ホテルまでえお迎えしてもらったのですが帰りはしてもらえず…
他の日本人のグループや
行きのバスで 一緒した外人さんグループは、
声を掛けてもらっていたようで、
帰っていったのですがで
私たち 家族は 知らんぷり…
何も声を掛けてもらえず 悲しい思いをしました。帰りは帰りで 申告しないと
いけないんですかね…
しょうがないので、アラモアナセンターまで
徒歩で行きました。
結構
距離あって足が痛くなっちゃいました(>_<)

I had so much fun!!!
The weather was great, and it felt very nice.
I booked the 90m height, and it was plenty enjoyable.
When I experienced parasailing in Hawaii a long time ago, it was a two-person setup with one in front and one in back, but it seems that side-by-side is the trend now.
Being side-by-side allows you to see the faces of the people you're experiencing it with, making it easier to chat while enjoying the aerial stroll, which was great.
I participated in the session at 5 PM in early December, and I was able to see the sunset while parasailing, making it a wonderful experience!!!
I want to do it again!!!

とっても楽しかったです！！！
天気も良く、とても気持ちよかったです。
高さ90mで予約しましたが、充分楽しめました。
昔ハワイでパラセイリングを体験した時は、2人、前後ろに座るものだったのですが、最近のパラセイリングは横並びが主流のようですね。
横並びの方が一緒に体験する人の顔が見え、空中散歩しながら会話もしやすいので良かったです。
12月上旬、17時〜の回に参加したのですが、パラセイリングしながら夕日も見れ、素敵な体験になりました！！！
またやりたいです！！！

The sea on the day was in optimal condition for snorkeling, but unfortunately, due to the high tide, the visibility was lacking, and I couldn't see the fish clearly. I only spotted one small turtle. This is just a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it. However, there were many positives, such as the preparation of equipment, thorough explanations, and not having to wait to get to the beach. The staff worked hard to help participants enjoy the experience by searching for fish and turtles, and I am very grateful for that. I think it's perfect for beginners. Thank you to the staff for your support.

当日の海はシュノーケルには最適な状態だったのですが残念ながら満ち潮だったため透明度にかけていてキレイにお魚を見ることはできませんでした。
亀さんも1匹小さい子が見えただけでした。
こればかりは自然現象なので仕方ないですね。
でも道具の用意や丁寧な説明、待たずに海岸まで行けるなどいいことも沢山あります。
そしてスタッフの方々は参加者が楽しめるように一生懸命お魚や亀さんを探してくださり感謝でいっぱいです。
初心者には最適だと思います。
スタッフの方々お世話になりありがとうございました

On November 30, 2018, it felt like there were only a few fish in the areas where there were no corals and where planes and other things were sunk. It was very disappointing, especially considering the high cost.

2018年11月30日　サンゴがなく飛行機など沈めている所にだけ魚が少しいる感じでした。金額が高いのに　これだけ・・・と、とても残念でした。

The staff was very friendly! I hoped for a 150-meter flight. I was scared before getting on, but once I was in the air, time flowed gently and it felt really nice. While others were flying, I enjoyed the speed of the boat, so I got to enjoy both the boat and the sky! I highly recommend it! I really felt like I was in Hawaii, and I think it was a unique experience that you can only have in Hawaii!

係りの人がとてもフレンドリーでした！150メートルを希望しました。乗る前は怖かったですが、空を飛ぶとゆったりとした時間が流れてとても気持ちが良かったです。他の人が飛んでいて船に乗っている間は、船のスピード感を楽しめ、船と空で二度楽しめました(^O^)！とてもおすすめです！ハワイに来た実感がとてもわく、ハワイならではの体験になったと思います(^O^)

I rode a submarine for the first time! When I heard we would be at a depth of 30 meters, I thought it wouldn't be that deep. However, once we actually submerged, the scenery was completely different since we were underwater. It was very surreal.

Since we were sitting back-to-back, the people behind me seemed to get excited when they saw a whale, but I couldn't see anything from my side. On the way back, they said we might see it again since we would be turning around, but unfortunately, we didn't see anything.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました！
水深３０メートルと聞いて、あまり深くないのかなぁという印象。
実際に潜ってみると、海中にいるだけあって、景色も違います。
非常に幻想的でした。
背中合わせに座るので、背中側の人たちは鯨が見えたらしく盛り上がるものの、こちら側では見えず。帰りはＵターンするので見えるかもとのことでしたが、残念ながら見えず。

I was picked up at the hotel by the cheerful voice of Chieko-san in the morning, and we set off.
I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since it had been a while, but as soon as I saw the beautiful blue bay below, my excitement soared!
After watching the video, I changed into my wetsuit and headed straight into the water.
At first, the seawater felt a bit chilly, but I quickly got used to it.
During the practice phase of putting on the snorkel, colorful tropical fish swam right in front of me.
I even saw the humuhumunukunukuapua'a that I had learned about!
Excitedly following Dan-san, who was leading the way, I noticed a honu swimming right beside me as we approached the second half of our adventure!
It glanced over at me and swam slowly, which was so moving!
When we got back to the beach, I was surprised to see a monk seal lounging and napping.
The thrilling morning came to an end, leaving me with a pleasant sense of fatigue.
Thanks to the wonderful pair of Chieko-san and Dan-san, I created some truly precious and fun memories this time.
Mahalo~ (*^^)v

朝からチエコさんの元気な声でホテルにてピックアップしてもらい出発～
久々のシュノーケリングで少々不安もあったのですが、眼下に広がる美しい青い湾を見た途端にテンションはアップ！
ビデオを観てからウエットスーツに着替えてさっそく海の中へ
最初は海水がひやっと感じたけどすぐに慣れました。
シュノーケルの装着の練習段階で目の前をカラフルな熱帯魚たちがたくさん
教えていただいたフムフムヌクヌクアプアアもいる～
わくわくしながら先頭を行くダンさんの後をついていくと、後半にさしかかるころに気づいたらホヌがすぐ横を泳いでました！
横目でチラッとこちらを見て、ゆっくり水をかいで泳ぐ姿に感動～☆
ビーチに上がるとなんとアザラシ（モンクシール）がゴロンと昼寝をしててびっくり
興奮しまくりの午前中が終わり、ほどよい疲労感が心地よかったです。
この度はチエコさんとダンさんのナイスペアのおかげで大変貴重な楽しい思い出ができました
Mahalo～(*^^)v

On December 1st, I participated with five friends during a training trip. I was worried because none of us could speak English, but the staff were very kind and mixed in a little Japanese while talking, which made me feel very relieved. Although the number of participants was odd, they prepared a setup for three people so that we could fly in groups of three and two. After flying, while we were waiting on the boat, they played music and engaged us in conversation, so we never got bored and had a lot of fun! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this again! Thank you very much!

12/1に、研修旅行の合間に友達5人と参加しました。
誰も英語が喋れないので不安だったのですが、スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、少し日本語も混ぜて話してくださったのでとても安心しました。
参加人数が奇数だったのですが、3人と2人で飛べるように、3人用のも用意してくれました。
飛び終わって船で待っている間も音楽をかけたり、たくさん話しかけてくれたので暇にならずとても楽しかったです！
もしハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対またやろうと思います！
ありがとうございました！

My husband and I LOVED this excursion!! We got to swim with sea turtles! It was absolutely amazing! Brad went out of his way to make our experience a great one and knew so much about the area. All of the crew were extremely accomodating and very courteous and personable. We went on a Monday morning and practically had the whole catamaran to ourselves (which they say isn’t normal, but was awesome!).
It was an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to take our kids to Hawaii and on this excursion!

I participated in the 150 meters.
Everyone else was a foreigner, but it was totally fine.
It's scarier than I expected because it's quite high.
You can get a great view of the hotel district in Honolulu and Diamond Head.
Tipping is optional, so I think it's fine to give a little if you'd like.

150メートルで参加しました。
私達以外は外国人でしたが全然平気です。
思っていた以上に高いので怖いです。
ホノルルのホテル街やダイヤモンドヘッドが一望出来ます。
チップは任意なので良かったら渡す程度で良いと思います。

We have a 4 and 7 year old. 4 year old had no interest in going in the water but really enjoyed the boat ride. The amount of time we were on the boat was just right for little ones (2-2.5 hours). Our 7 year old really wanted to snorkel with sea turtles and she saw several, so this was perfect. Super fun and really nice crew. They were kind to our kids and made sure that our little one got to see some fish and even pointed out sea turtles coming up for air so she didn’t feel like she missed out on anything. If you are comfortable with adult beverages being around, this is a great excursion for families with kids and beginner snorkelers. Compared to some of the other outfitters around, they are also very well-priced. Felt like this was a good value and an afternoon well spent.

Thank you Romero for your super friendly and knowledgeable guide. His pick up to and from the falls was on time. We only booked the shuttle 2 nights before &no dramasWould recommend Veltra to anyone who wants a friendly & reliable service.

It was my first snorkeling experience, and the instructor was very kind and explained everything in detail, so I really enjoyed it. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

初めてのシュノーケリング体験でしたが、インストラクターの方が非常に親切、丁寧に説明してくれたので本当に楽しかったです。またハワイに来た際は参加させていただきたいぐらいです。

I had a great time!! There were moments when my body was submerged in the sea while returning to the boat from the sky, but I appreciated the consideration to ensure my face didn't go under, which made it enjoyable!!

とても楽しかったです！！空から船に戻る時に身体が海に浸かる事がありましたが、顔まで浸からないよう配慮もあり、楽しめました!!

Thank you to the crew for making our trip so special. Local couple who wanted to feel like a tourist for a day. They did not disappoint.

Amazing water and great knowledge of the ocean.

Mahalo!!

I was worried about seasickness, so I took some medicine before going. It was quite rocky, so it was a good decision to take it! I participated at 120m, and it wasn't scary at all! In the end, I got splashed in the sea! (It's fine if you let them know you don't want that.) The weather was nice, so the view was great and it was the best! They explain things in simple Japanese, so I felt reassured!

船酔いが心配だったので、薬を飲んで行きました。けっこう揺れるので飲んでいて正解でした！120mで参加しましたが、全然こわくなかったです！最後に海ポチャされました！(してほしくなければ伝えれば大丈夫です)
天気が良かったので、景色もよく最高でした^^
カタコトの日本語で説明してくれるので安心です！

It was amazing!
We happened to see a rainbow and had a wonderful time as if we were the only two enjoying the breathtaking view.
It swayed a bit in the wind, but that was fun too.
In the end, we splashed into the sea!!! We got quite wet.

Motion sickness medication is a must!
It was a fun 10-minute experience of floating in the air!

最高でした！
たまたま虹も出ていて絶景を2人占めしているような幸せな時間を過ごせました
風で多少揺れますがそれも楽しかったです。
最後は海にジャボン！！！結構濡れます。

酔い止めは必須です！
10分弱の楽しい空中浮遊でした！

I visited with my 2-year-old son, and we had a great time. There were staff members who understood Japanese, which made our sightseeing enjoyable. In addition to visiting movie filming locations, we saw sea turtles from the boat and ate fresh macadamia nuts and starfruit at the botanical garden. For lunch, we had a buffet where we could eat as much as we wanted. During the free time between tours, we were able to interact with animals, and my child had a lot of fun. There were pigs, turtles, chickens, and horses! We made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

2歳の息子連れでしたが、十分に楽しめました。
日本語がわかるスタッフさんもいて、楽しく観光ができました。映画ロケ地以外に、ウミガメを船からみたり、植物園で生のマカダミアナッツや、スターフルーツを食べたり、お昼はビュッフェ形式で好きなだけ食べれます。
ツアーからツアーの空き時間で、動物とも触れ合えて、子供は楽しんでました。豚、亀、ニワトリ、馬がいます！素敵な思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

I experienced this with my son. Those who understood Japanese seemed to have a little bit of Korean, but everyone was kind, and both my child and I had fun riding together. When we got tired of paddling, they pulled us along and took us to the waves. However, the only downside was that there were no photos taken. Also, I wasn't sure who Hands was or if he was even there, as the young guys were the ones teaching us. Next time, I want to bring my own GoPro.

息子と2人で体験しました。
日本語がわかるかたは韓国の方が少し出来る感じでしたが、皆さん優しくて子供も私も立てて乗れて楽しかったです。
パドリングも疲れたら、ずっと引っ張って波まで連れていってくれました。
ただ、残念なのは写真が一枚もなかった事かな。
後、ハンズさんは一体誰なのか、いないのかよくわからないまま若いお兄ちゃん達が教えてくれました。
次回は自分のゴープロ持参で行きたいです

I used this for my honeymoon trip.

There were many other foreign tourists participating as well, but there were crew members who could speak Japanese, so I was able to hear the explanations in Japanese until we boarded the submarine. The transfer to the submarine is by boat, and you can enjoy the breeze on the deck, which feels nice. On the day I went, the boat was quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

Once on the submarine, you can see various things like colorful fish, sea turtles, and a sunken airplane that you wouldn't typically see in Japan. After boarding the submarine, there are multilingual headphones available, so you can listen to the explanations in Japanese. The inside of the submarine is quite cool, so I recommend bringing warm clothing.

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。

他の外国人の観光客の方もたくさん参加していますが、船員さんに日本語を話せる方がいるので、潜水艦に乗るまでの説明は日本語で聞くことができます。
潜水艦までの移動は船なので、デッキに出れば風に当たることができ、気持ちいいです。私が乗った日は船が結構揺れていた為、船酔いする方は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもしれません。

潜水艦に乗ってからは、日本で見ないようなカラフルな魚やウミガメ、沈んだ飛行機等色んな物が見えます。
潜水艦に乗った後も多国語対応のヘッドホンがあるので、日本語で解説を聞く事ができます。
潜水艦の中はかなりクーラーが効いているため、防寒着を持っておく事をお勧めします。

The instructor was very friendly, and I was able to ride right away on my first try! It truly became the best memory. I think I will start surfing from now on. Thank you very much.

先生はとてもフレンドリーで、最初のトライですぐに乗れました！
本当に最高の思いでになりました。これを機にサーフィンを始めようと思います。ありがとうございました。

The shuttle driver was full of humor, and it was nice to receive a hair accessory and juice from Primelia. The parasailing was also quite fun, especially getting to check for sharks in the sea. There were some people who seemed to be feeling seasick or dizzy from the altitude, so it's best to be cautious with motion sickness medication and take care of your health!

送迎のドライバーさんがユーモアに溢れ、プリメリアの髪飾りやジュースを頂きよかったです。
パラセーリングも海にサメチェックをしてもらったり、かなり楽しかったです。
船酔い？か上空酔いしてる人もいたので酔い止めならびに体調管理には気をつけた方が良いです！

I stayed at the Hilton last time as well, and I was curious about the Hawaiian show. I upgraded my seat and was able to enjoy it from a better location. The content of the show was worth it. The fire dance at the end was particularly impressive, and I had a great time.

前回もヒルトンに宿泊しまして、ハワイアンショーが気になっていました。
席もワンランクアップして、 良い席から見ることが出来ました。
ショーの内容は価値あり。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力あり楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

Outstanding service... Dan and Chieko were amazing. As a non-swimmer they made the experience enjoyable. Very knowledgeable and down to earth people. Thank you!!!

This time, I participated in a tour of the filming locations at Kualoa Ranch, and I learned that it was not only the site for Jurassic Park but also for various other productions, including "50 First Dates" and commercials featuring Masaki Suda.

The three tours we took on-site were all enjoyable, but riding in the jeep was especially thrilling and really boosted my excitement.

On the return flight, they happened to be showing "50 First Dates," and I remembered what the guide had mentioned, so I decided to watch it. To my surprise, Kualoa Ranch was featured, along with the night view from Tantalus, the Dole Plantation, and even the pool at the hotel where I stayed, the Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel!

I was exploring the filming locations without knowing, and on the flight home, I was able to bask in an unexpected afterglow.

今回、クワロア牧場ロケ地巡りに参加し、ジュラシックパークだけじゃなく、最近では、『50回目のファーストキス』や菅田将暉さんのCM等様々なロケ地だった事を知りました。
現地での3つのツアーは、それぞれ楽しかったのですが、やっぱりジープで巡ったのはアトラクション感満載で、よりテンションが上がりました。

帰りの飛行機で、丁度『50回目のファーストキス』をやっていたので、ガイドさんが言われていたなぁ〜と思い見てみた所、ビックリ‼︎
クワロア牧場はもちろん、タンタラスの丘の夜景やドールプランテーション、極め付けは宿泊したホテルのワイキキサンドビラホテルのプールが映っていたのです(*_*)
知らないまま、ロケ地を回っていて、帰路の飛行機で、思わぬ余韻に浸る事が出来ました(*^^*)

Great staff and good equipment. Flawless safety record and safety was certainly a priority. Book with these folks without hesitation. Let me move around the boat safely to get best pic angles.

Very professional and fun team.
