All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.

今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち二人で後は外人ばかりでしたが、魚が沢山いたうえに、ウミガメとあんなに近くで一緒に泳げたのは、初めての経験でした。
渡ハ何十回めにしての感動ものでした。

The shuttle staff were kind, and the staff on the board were really funny, making it a lot of fun! For first-timers, there might be a little fear at the moment of takeoff, but you quickly go up, and once you reach 150 meters, you can see the hotel and Diamond Head, which was really beautiful! Also, everyone participating, except for the staff, were Japanese, so I was able to chat with them comfortably! Since it was a tandem parasailing experience and I was participating alone, I flew together with another Japanese woman I met there! By the way, she flew twice!

送迎の方も優しく、ボードのスタッフもすごく面白い方ですごく楽しかったです！初めての方は飛ぶ瞬間少し怖さがあるかもですが、一瞬にして上まで行きますし、150mまで達してたら
ホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドなどが一望できすごく綺麗でした！また参加している方はスタッフ以外、日本人の方だったので仲良く話すことも出来ました！2人乗りのパラセーリングだったので1人での参加だったので、そこで初めましての他の日本人女性の方と一緒に飛びました！ちなみその方には2回飛んで頂きました！

I experienced the 120m plan. It was my first time parasailing, and flying over the beautiful ocean in Hawaii felt amazing. The location is also close to Waikiki, and since the duration is short, I recommend it because you can enjoy other activities or shopping afterward.

120mプランを体験しました。
パラセイリングは初めてでしたが、ハワイの綺麗な海の上を飛ぶのは最高に気持ちが良かったです。
体験場所もワイキキから近く、時間も短いので終わってから他のアクティビティや買物等楽しめるのでおススメです。

Best thing I did in Hawaii. Crew were amazing! Cornbin was my favourite (dude with the shredded 6 pack and sweet smile). The perfect way to see some beautiful turtles. Also great opportunity to sale the crystal clear waters. 10/10.

Great boat and friendly crew, relaxing morning and turtles easily spotted. Highly recommended

I think it was about an hour with each group lasting around 10 minutes. While waiting below, I thought 10 minutes would be short, but the time spent in the air during parasailing felt long. It was quite stable with little swaying, making it more comfortable than being on the boat. If the weather is good, the view is fantastic. I had some money with me for tips, but I was unsure how much to give.

1組10分程度で約1時間くらいだったと思います。
下で待っている間は10分は短いかなと思ってましたが、パラセイリングで上空にいる時間は長く感じました。揺れることも少なく安定していたのでボートより快適でした。
天気が良ければ景色も最高です。
持ち物に多少のお金とあり、チップ用ですがいくら渡したらよいのか迷いました。

We went parasailing at my husband's request. I wasn't sure about the height, but we chose the middle option of 120 meters. It felt great to speed across the water on the boat, and it was enjoyable to watch the other passengers flying as well. Flying ourselves was truly the best experience. During the descent, we playfully dipped into the water, which also became a nice memory.

夫の希望でパラセイリングへ。高さはよくわからなかったけど、中間の１２０M にしました。
ボートで風を切って走っていくのも気持ちいいですし、同乗者の方が飛んでいるのを見ているのも気持ちいいですし、自分たちが飛んでいるのも本当に最高でした。下降のときに、いたずらで海面ばっちゃんされるのですが、それもいい思い出です。

I challenged myself to 150 meters. At first, I was a bit lost, but once I tried it, it was so much fun that I absolutely recommend the 150 meters and the water splash!

Everyone except us was from overseas, so I felt a bit out of place, but the guide spoke to us in broken Japanese and made sure we were okay, so I never got bored.

If you ask, they will take photos for you! There were some unique shots, and I was really glad I had them take pictures since it was such a special trip.

150メートルを挑戦しました。
はじめは迷いましたが、やってみるととても楽しかったので絶対150と水ドボンをおすすめします！
私たち以外は全員外国の方で少しアウェイ感を感じましたが、ガイドの方がカタコトの日本語で気にかけて話しかけてくれたので退屈することはなかったです。

写真もお願いすると撮ってくれます！
中にはユニークな写真もあって、せっかくの旅行なので撮ってもらってよかったなあと思いました。

Manoa Falls was a different waterfall due to the impact of the hurricane (rockfall), but I was able to fully enjoy the unique flowers and plants of Hawaii. The walking distance was just right, and I could take my time while taking photos. The vegan lunch was also incredibly delicious, featuring only healthy options like vegetables and hijiki!

マノアの滝は、ハリケーンの影響(落石)で、別の滝でしたが、ハワイ特有の花や植物を充分に楽しめました(^-^)歩く距離も丁度良く、写真も取りながらのんびり行くことが出来ました。
ビーガンのランチも、野菜やひじきなど体に優しいものばかりで凄く美味しかったです！

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We also tried parasailing for the first time. We challenged ourselves to the highest level at 150 meters, and my wife, who has a fear of heights, really enjoyed it. I think being higher allows for a longer time in the air, making it even more enjoyable. It became the best memory for us.

新婚旅行で初めてのハワイに。
パラセイリングも初めて体験しました。
一番高い150mにチャレンジしましたが、高所恐怖症の妻もすごく楽しんでいました。
高い方が空中にいる時間も長いので、より楽しめると思います。
最高の思い出になりました。

I took a different surfing lesson in Hawaii five years ago, but I couldn't stand up at all, so this was my second challenge. Surprisingly, I was able to stand and ride the waves! The instructor must be really good. Surfing is definitely fun when you can catch the waves! I highly recommend it!

サーフィンは5年前に同じハワイで別のレッスン受けましたが、まともに立てづに終わり今回2回目のチャレンジ。
なんと立てて乗れました！
教え方が上手いんでしょうね。
サーフィンはやはり波に乗れれば楽しい！
是非オススメです！

Since the meeting time was set for 6:50 AM, I arrived about 10 minutes early and waited, but when 7:00 AM came, no one showed up. I called and found out that phone support starts at 7:30 AM, which made me feel very anxious as I couldn't get in touch with anyone.

Eventually, around 7:10 AM, a staff member came to pick me up, and when they checked the schedule, it turned out the meeting time was set for 7:00 AM. It seems there had been an unannounced change.

Once on-site, the tour went smoothly, and I was glad to finally enjoy the location visits I had been looking forward to! As for lunch, I went in with low expectations as rumored, and it turned out I was right not to expect much.

待ち合わせ時間が朝6時50分だったため10分前くらいに到着し、待っていましたが7時になっても誰も来ず電話をかけたところ7時半から電話対応開始だそうで連絡もつかず大変不安な思いをしました。
結局7時10分頃に係の人が迎えに来て、予定表を確認したところ待ち合わせ7時となっていました。勝手に変更になっていたようです。
現地では問題なくツアーがおわり、楽しみにしていたロケ地巡りができてよかったです！
昼食は噂通り期待しないで行きましたが、期待しなくて良かった感じでした。

I wanted to ride the Premium Submarine, but it was under regular maintenance, so I booked the Standard Submarine instead. I had heard that the windows were smaller and the seats were narrower compared to the Premium, but it wasn't as cramped as I expected, and the windows were decent enough for viewing and taking photos or videos without much issue.

The diving time was 45 minutes, which was sufficient to enjoy the experience. I read on one site that there weren't many fish to see, but during our trip, we were able to see quite a few. If I had to say, the fish didn't appear as colorful as in the advertisements, and overall, it looked quite blue. But that's the true color of the ocean, isn't it? This made me feel like I was really diving.

It was great. One thing to note is that the visibility differs on the left and right sides of the submarine; for example, if there are reefs visible on the right, there's nothing on the left, and vice versa. During those times when nothing is visible, it can get a bit boring.

プレミアム・サブマリンに乗りたかったのですが、定期点検中でスタンダード・サブマリンを予約しました。
プレミアムに比べ窓も小さく席も狭いと聞いていましたが、思ったほど狭くなく、窓もそれなりで、見るのは勿論、写真やビデオ撮影にもそれほど問題はありませんでした。
潜水時間は45分でしたが堪能するのに十分な時間でした。
あるサイトで魚がそれほど見られないと書かれていましたが、私たちの時はそれなりに見ることが出来ました。
強いて言うなら広告のようにカラフルに魚は見えず全体的に青く見えます。
でもそれって本当の海の色なんですよね。
こちらのほうが、本当に潜っているんだなぁっていう気持ちになりました。
よかったです。
あとは、潜水艦の左右で視界が違うので、右に漁礁が見えると左は何もなく、
その反対もあり、その見えない時間はちょっと暇です。

We take a small boat to the flying location, and it can be quite rocky! If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely bring some medication. I sometimes get sick if I'm not feeling well, but on this day, I was sleep-deprived and had no issues enjoying myself. On the other hand, my husband started feeling sick on the way back to land and was a bit groggy for a while.

The guide was very professional, and I felt completely at ease leaving things in their hands. If you're feeling a little scared, you should definitely give it a try!

飛ぶ場所まで小さめの船で向かうのですが、結構揺れる！酔いやすい方は絶対に酔い止めが必要です。
私はたまに体調が悪いと酔うけど、この日は寝不足でも問題なく楽しめました。
一方、旦那は帰りに陸へ向かう途中で酔い始め、しばらくグロッキーでした汗

ガイドさんはすごくプロフェッショナルで
安心して任せられましたし
ちょっと怖いなーって位なら絶対チャレンジするべきです！

This trip is AMAZING and Highly recommended. The 4 gentlemen that took us out were great and very attentive. They took us to the best spot for snorkelling and saw a ton if sea turtles. The atmosphere and company can't be beat. If you don't do ANYTHING ELSE in Hawaii do THIS!!!!

I was a bit scared at first, wondering if parasailing would be okay, but once I took off, it felt amazing and was absolutely the best! The view of Waikiki from the sky was also really beautiful.

Since I didn't understand the language and wasn't familiar with the area, I was really worried about whether they would actually come to pick me up at the meeting point, but they arrived just as promised, which was a relief! If I have the chance again, I definitely want to do it once more!

パラセイリングって大丈夫かな？と、待ってる間最初はちょっと怖かったんですが…飛んでみると、とても気持ち良くてメチャクチャ最高⤴️⤴️でした❗️空から見えるワイキキも、とっても素敵でした

集合場所は、言葉もわからず、土地勘もないので、本当に送迎に来てくれるか？と心配でしたが、ちゃんと来てくれてホッとしました❗️
また機会あれば、ぜひもう一度やってみたいです❗️

Good points:
There were two guides, a Japanese guide and a local guide. They provided detailed support, which allowed me to enjoy the experience without any worries. I received all the photos taken on the day via Facebook.

Bad points:
The sea was a bit rough, so we could only swim in the lagoon, and the water wasn't very clear. Since we had a guide, I wished we could have gone closer to the beautiful open sea. (There were children participating, so I hope for more advanced support for intermediate to advanced swimmers.) There was hardly any time to relax on the beach.

良い点
日本人ガイド＋現地人ガイドの２人で催行。きめ細かいフォローをしてくれたので、不安なく楽しめた。
当日撮った写真は全部FB経由で貰える。

悪い点
海が少し荒れていたのか、ラグーンの中でしか泳げず水中があまり綺麗ではなかった。せっかくガイド付きなので、綺麗な外海近くまでは行って欲しかった。（子ずれも参加していて一緒に泳ぐ形だったので、中上級者向けのフォローアップを望む）
ビーチでゆっくりする時間がほとんどなかった。

This was my first time snorkelling, so, although I love to swim, was a bit apprehensive about the mask and snorkel. Both guides were great. Pick up on time, lots of interesting information along the drive, friendly, professional and took care of safety. Explained everything well. I had difficulty with the breathing bit and they were very helpful and calming.

We participated as a couple with our 9-year-old child. It was everyone's first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko, we were able to participate smoothly, both kids and adults. We swam across Hanauma Bay for about an hour, but I think it's better for slim people and children to rent wetsuits, as the body gets colder than expected. Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, it's reassuring to take motion sickness medication. We got to see beautiful tropical fish and even a turtle, which made for the best memories! I would love to participate again when we come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much! 😊

夫婦と9歳の子供1人で参加させて頂きました。
シュノーケリングは全員初めてでしたが、ちえこさんに色々教えて頂き、子供も大人もスムーズに参加することができました。
約1時間程ハナウマ湾を横断する感じで泳ぎますが、痩せ型の人や子供さんはウェットスーツを借りた方がよろしいかと思います。思ったより体が冷えてきますので。。それから、波に酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心です。
綺麗な熱帯魚、そしてカメにも会えて最高の思い出になりました！
またハワイに来た際には参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました(^^)

Had a great time out, saw loads of turtles and even dolphins. Also great to experience the waves whilst sailing out. Jeromino was a really great guide, the whole team were brilliant and took fantastic care of us. Would really recommend this tour definite one oc the highlights of our stay on Oahu!

It was great that I could ride easily in just two hours. The scenery was amazing!! However, the photo data I purchased at the end was corrupted and couldn't be read. I understand that such things can happen, but in other active options, I received a letter with contact information and methods in case the receipt and data couldn't be read. Unfortunately, I didn't receive that from Hands Harden. I even gave a proper tip... It's disappointing because I was looking forward to it.

2時間で簡単に乗れて良かったです。
景色も最高‼︎
でも最後に購入させてもらった写真のデーターが壊れてて読み取れませんでした。
そういう場合もあると思うので仕方ないですが
他のアクティブオプションでも撮って下さった写真を購入した事ありますが領収書とデーターが読み込めなかった時の連絡先、方法などが記入した手紙もちゃんと頂きました。
こちらのハンズハーデンさんは無かったです。
チップもちゃんとお渡ししたのに‥
残念です。楽しみにしてたのに。

It was a fun stage not just for dining and watching the show, but also featuring interactive events! There was a practice time for hula dancing, a contest where randomly selected guests were invited on stage to blow a conch shell (or something like that?), and opportunities to dance with the performers—there was so much going on. The hula dancers showcased various patterns of dance. The English MC was explaining things, but it was a bit fast and hard to understand... Still, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The fire dance was amazing!

The meal had a Hawaiian flair, and it was nice that it wasn't overly extravagant. The fish dish was the most delicious.

ただ食事をしてショーを見るだけでなく、参加型イベントもある楽しいステージでした！
フラダンスの練習タイムがあったり、お客さんの中からランダムにステージに上げられて、ホラ貝（のようなもの？）を吹くコンテストがあったり、ダンサーと一緒に踊ったり、盛りだくさんです。
フラダンスは様々なパターンのダンスを見せてくれます。
英語のMCで説明していたようですが、早口でよくわからず、、、
それでも十分楽しめました。
ファイヤーダンスは最高でしたね！

お食事はハワイらしい内容で、豪華すぎなくて良かったです。
お魚料理が一番美味しかったです。

The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which was great. On the day of the visit, there were only two groups, so the wait time was short, and we enjoyed the boat ride to the midway point without feeling seasick.

I'm not good with heights, but I managed to handle the 90 meters. However, it might be tough in case of strong winds.

The crew on the boat consisted of two members who didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly, so I gave them a $10 tip.

I'm unsure whether I would repeat the experience, but I would recommend it at least once.

受付の方は日本語okでした。
当日は2組で待ち時間も少なく、途中のポイントまでのボートが気持ちよく酔いもせずに楽しめました。

高所は苦手なのですが９０ｍはなんとかいけましたが
もし強風などの場合厳しいかもしれません。

船上のクルーは二人で日本語はできませんでしたが
感じはよかったのでチップを１０ドルお渡ししました。

リピートするかどうかは悩みますが１度はお勧めです

By chance, all the tour participants were Japanese, so we had a guide in Japanese. During the drive from Waikiki to Manoa, we had a great time with bright self-introductions and learning about popular local shops in Hawaii.

Due to my age, I was worried about not being able to keep up with the others, but the guide made sure to stop at key points and kept the pace slow, which I really appreciated.

The explanations about the plants were detailed and interesting. If I had been hiking alone, I think I would have missed noticing the fruits high up in the trees and the differences between invasive and native plants.

The waterfall at the destination was magnificent. Although there were people who entered the water despite the restrictions due to infection risks, I understand their feelings (laughs).

I'm really glad I had such a fun time. Thank you, guides Toshi and Yuna!

偶然、ツアー参加者が全員日本人でしたので、日本語でガイドしてもらいました。
ワイキキからマノアに向かう車の中から、明るく自己紹介をしてもらったり、ハワイの現地の人たちに人気のお店を教えてもらったりと、楽しく過ごせました。
私は年齢もあって早く歩けないので、周りの方々の足を引っ張らないか不安でしたが、ガイドさんが要所要所立ち止まって、ペースをゆっくりに保ってもらえました。本当にありがたかったです。
植物の説明も詳しくて面白かったです。個人で登っていたら、高い木の上に果物が生っていることや、外来種と原産種の植物の違いに、気付かないで通り過ぎていたと思います。
ゴール地点の滝は見事なものでした。感染症の危険があるので入水制限されているのに滝壺に入ってしまっている人たちがいましたが、気持ちはわかります(笑)。
本当に楽しい時間を過ごせて良かったです。ガイドのトシさん、ユナさん、ありがとうございました。

This was my second time in Hawaii, but I participated with my boyfriend who was there for the first time. He was a bit scared at first because he isn't great with heights, but he had an amazing time!! I'm so glad I brought him along!!

The staff spoke English and were very friendly, so I felt comfortable participating. If you want photos, they ask you before you fly, so I don't think you'll be pressured into spending money.

二回目のハワイでしたが、ハワイ初の彼氏と一緒に参加しました^ ^
彼氏は高いところが少し苦手だったので最初は怖がっていましたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました！！連れて行ってよかった！！^ ^
何度か海にジャボンしてくれるので、最高です^ ^

スタッフの方は英語ですが、いろいろ話しかけてくれるので安心して参加できます^ ^
写真が欲しい方は、飛ぶ前に聞かれるので無理にお金を取られる事もないと思います。

My first time parasailing‼️
I highly recommend this‼️
I suggest going for the higher altitude‼️

It's important to thoroughly check the voucher. There was an error with the meeting time, so I had to inquire about it. The local operator was slow to respond, and I was waiting for a while. Finally, two days before, I received a correction email, which was a relief.
I'm glad I didn't have to wait for an hour at a deserted harbor.

人生初のパラセーリング‼️
これはお勧め‼️
高度は高い方をお勧めです‼️

バウチャーはしっかり確認が必要です。集合時間に誤りがあり問い合わせをしました。現地催行会社に問い合わせ中とやらでなかなか返答がきませんでした。再度問い合わせ２日前にやっと訂正メールがあり一安心。
何もないハーバーで１時間も待つことにならず良かったぁ。

Since I made the reservation on the day of arrival... I couldn't predict the timing... and I caused quite a bit of inconvenience... but I am truly grateful! They changed the time for me, and I was able to enjoy parasailing! I chose a height of 150 meters! It was quite high, and the weather in Hawaii was perfect! Flying while looking down at Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from above felt amazing (*^^*) For those who are not comfortable with heights... 150 meters might be a bit too high, so perhaps you could enjoy it at a lower height? It was really nice to fly while feeling the wind.

到着日に予約したため…時間が読めず…かなりご迷惑をおかけしてしまいましたが…
本当にありがたいことに！時間を変更していただき！パラセイリングを漫喫することができました！
高さは150mを選びました！
かなり高さがありハワイの海で～天気も最高！
ダイヤモンドヘッドにワイキキビ－チを上から眺めながらの飛行は！とっても気持ちが良かったです(*^^*)
高いのがダメな方は…150はちょっと高めかもしれないので…そのしたあたりで楽しんでみてはどうでしょうか？
風を感じながら飛行できるのは～
とても良かったです。

He was a cheerful reggae-loving teacher who seemed a bit eccentric, but when the waves came, he switched to serious mode. When he told me to stand up, I surprisingly managed to ride the waves! There were no other students, so it ended up being a private lesson, and it seemed like time didn't matter; we only finished when I finally said I was tired! It was worth every penny!

陽気なレゲイ好きのちょっと怪しい先生だったけど、波がくると真剣モードで、先生が立てーって言って立つとなぜか不思議なくらい波に乗れました！！他に生徒はいなくて結局プライベートレッスンで、時間も関係無しなのかこっちが疲れたって言ってやっと終了したくらいでした！お値段以上です！

There were a total of 12 participants, including the two of us, and with the two guides, the total was 14 people. It was quite a large group.

During the drive, our guides, Yuna and Toshi, shared recommendations for restaurants and sweets, as well as some fun facts about Hawaii, which made the trip very enjoyable.

After arriving at the parking lot and using the restroom at the shop, we received water and ponchos. I had prepared my own water and poncho since they weren't mentioned in the tour details, but they turned out to be unnecessary.

After a group photo at the entrance, Toshi explained the precautions, and we started the trail. As we progressed, we received explanations about the plants along the course, making it more enjoyable than just trekking.

Also, during the trek, there were photo opportunities where they would take pictures for us, which made for great memories. We reached the waterfall in about 40 minutes, but the return trip was a bit slippery, so caution is advised.

On the way back, we also received explanations about the plants and had photos taken. Fortunately, it didn't rain that day, so our shoes and clothes didn't get too dirty, but some participants had muddy pant hems, so those who are concerned might want to bring a change of clothes.

For lunch, since the restaurant was crowded, we ate in the park. (If the restaurant is not busy, it seems you can eat inside.) The bento had a variety of small side dishes, which was nice. The colors were vibrant and visually appealing. The taste was, of course, good.

After eating and taking a short break, we were taken back to our hotel, and the tour concluded. The pace was adjusted to accommodate the slower participants, so I felt it was relatively easy for anyone to join. While Hawaii is often associated with the ocean, trekking in the mountains is also great!

当日の参加者は私たち二人を含め合計１２名、ガイドさん２人の総勢１４名です。なかなかの大所帯。
向かう車の中では、ガイドのユナさんとトシさんがお勧めの飲食店やスイーツなどを教えてくださったり、ハワイのプチ情報を教えてくださってとても楽しかったです。
駐車場に着き、売店でトイレを済ませませた後、お水やポンチョなどを頂きました。ツアー詳細にお水、ポンチョの記載がなかったので自分で用意していましたが、必要ありませんでした。
入口で参加者全員で記念撮影のあと、ガイドのトシさんから注意事項の説明があり、トレイルスタートです。
コース途中に生えている植物の説明を受けながら進むので、単純にトレッキングするよりも愉しかったです。
またトレッキング途中も、撮影ポイントが来ると写真を撮って下さるので良い記念になりますよ。
滝までは４０分くらいで到着、行よりも帰りのほうが滑りやすいのでちょっと注意が必要かもしれません。
帰りも行きと同様に植物の説明を受けたり、写真を撮っていただきながら帰りました。
当日、雨が降らなかったこともあり、私たちはそんなに靴や服が汚れることはありませんでしたが、中にはズボンの裾がドロドロになっている方もいらっしゃったので、気にされる方は着替えをお持ちになると良いと思います。
ランチですが、お店が混んでいたので、公園で頂きました。（お店が空いていれば店内で戴けるそうです）
お弁当はちょっとずつ色んなおかずが入っているのが良いですね。色も鮮やかで見た目にも楽しめます。お味はもちろん良かったですよ。
食事をして、ちょっと休憩したのち、ピックアップしたホテルに送って下さりツアー終了しました。
遅い方にペースを合わせて進むので、比較的どんな方でも参加されやすいと感じました。ハワイといえば海のイメージですが、山でトレイルするのも良いですよ～！

I challenged myself to 90 meters, but I still had plenty of fun. I also signed up on the departure day, and the quick response from Veltra was very helpful. Even when the shuttle bus was delayed on-site, I received a notification that it would be about 5 minutes late, which made me feel secure participating in an unfamiliar overseas environment. I would like to join again next time.

90メートルに挑戦しましたが、それでもじゅうぶん楽しめました。
また、出発日に申し込みしたのですが、ベルトラさんの対応が早く助かりました。
現地で送迎バスが遅れる際にも、５分程遅れますとの連絡もいただけ、慣れない海外でも安心して参加できました。
次回もまた参加したいです。
