All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!

There were five of us in total, including ourselves. The guide was really kind and entertaining! It was my first time snorkeling, and without the guide, I would have had no idea how to swim while putting on the gear. During the experience, we were able to see sea turtles twice, and we even got some photos taken. They asked if we needed wetsuits (for $10) when we participated. The guide strongly recommended it, so we decided to get one, and I truly believe I would have been cold and caught a cold without it. While it would be fine for just playing in the water at the beach, they mentioned it was necessary since we would be swimming for over an hour, and I am really grateful for that.

If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend this tour!

私達を含め計5人のグループでした。
ガイドの方が本当に親切で面白く案内をして下さいました！
初めてシュノーケルをしましたが、ガイドさんがいなければ器具をつけながらの泳ぎ方など、全く分からずだったと思います。
また、参加中にはウミガメを2回も見ることができ、写真も撮って頂けました。
参加の際にウエットスーツがいるかどうか聞いて下さいました(10$)。ガイドの方が強く推して下さったのでお願いしましたが、もしなければ寒くて風邪をひいていたと思います。。
ビーチでの水遊び程度であれば無くても大丈夫だが、1時間以上泳ぐので必要と言ってくださり、本当に感謝しています。

またハワイに行く友人などいれば是非オススメしたいツアーでした！

We departed from the harbor located further inside the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease listening to their explanations.
The 150m parasailing offered breathtaking views!!
As a kind gesture, they let us splash into the sea while being pulled back to the boat from the air. The time spent heading out was also fun, like riding a jet ski.
Thank you very much!

アラモアナショッピングセンターの更に奥にある港から出発でした。スタッフの方は日本語喋れますし、安心して説明を聞けます。
150mのパラセーリングは絶景でした！！
ご厚意で、空から船へ紐を引っ張って戻るとき海にバシャバシャッと付けてもらいました。沖に出るまでの時間もジェットスキーみたいで楽しいです。
ありがとうございました！

We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.

浜から沖まで船で移動し、潜水艦に乗艦します。船はよく揺れますが潜水艦は静かです。漁礁に群がる魚の大群は見ものです。沖縄のようにサンゴ礁はいっぱいありませんが一度経験するには最高です

This time, we participated with two adults and two children, a total of four people. The ranch is incredibly vast, and it's even more enjoyable when you compare it to the movie! The bus is very cold, so I recommend bringing warm clothing like a jacket. All the tour guides are entertaining, so definitely participate!

During the cruise, the captain's steering occasionally splashed water on the guests standing at the front, which got everyone excited. There were children on board as well, but it can be quite bumpy, so please be careful.

By the way, for lunch, there was a buffet with delicious dishes like meat, rice, and cake served during the tour, which was great.

今回、大人2人、子供2人の4人で参加です。
牧場は凄く広大で映画と照らし合わせて見るとより楽しいです！
バス内は凄く寒いので上着など温かいものを持っていくことをオススメします。どのツアーのガイドさんも面白いので是非是非参加してください！
クルーズはキャプテンの操縦によって、一番前に立っているお客さんには時折波がかかって、みんな興奮気味でした。子供さんもいましたが、結構揺れるので気をつけてください。
ちなみに、ランチですが、ツアーの合間でバイキングでお肉、お米、ケーキなど美味しい料理がでて、良かったです。

I tried parasailing for the first time, and I'm glad I did! It was less scary than I expected, and I was able to enjoy the view from above!

はじめてパラセーリングにチャレンジしましたが、やって良かったです！
思ったより恐くなくむしろ空の上からの景色を楽しむことが出来ました！！

I went on the shuttle bus knowing that the bay was beautiful from above. Quick however thorough instructions on the equipment. Once you get used to it the beauty you find in the clear waters are amazing. After this outing everything was stress free for me. All I can say is if you can swim you had not miss this.

It was outstanding. Dan made me comfortable all the time as I was nervous.I would recommend any beginner to go with Dan

I chose the 150m option since I was there. It was a tandem flight with my elementary school son, and the view from above was amazing. The staff were experienced and had everything ready in no time. With that momentum, we said, "Let's go! Bye-bye!" and soared into the sky. We even had a splash at the end!

I highly recommend this active experience.

せっかくなので150ｍをチョイス。
小学生の息子とのタンデムフライトでしたが、上空からの眺めはサイコーです。
スタッフも手慣れたもので、あっという間に準備完了。
その勢いで、レッツゴー！　ばいばーい！　って感じで大空へ。
最後にドボンのおまけつき＾＾

おすすめのアクティブですよ。

It was the best parasailing debut, blessed with great weather! Both the captain and the crew were very lively, which made it really exciting! I felt no fear at all and had a lot of fun flying in the sky! In the end, I was dropped into the sea at Big Japon, and it felt amazing! The bus driver, Yano, during the transfer was very cheerful, making the trip enjoyable both ways!

天候にも恵まれた、最高のパラセイリングデビューでした！
船長さん、上げてくれる方、どちらもノリが良くてとてもワクワクしました！
恐怖は全く無く、とても楽しく空を飛ぶことができました！
最後はビックジャポンで海に落として頂きとても気持ちよかったです！
送迎の際のバスの運転手のヤノさんがとても愉快な方で行き帰りも楽しませて頂きました！

I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!

Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!

It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!

Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.

You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!

とっても楽しかったです！
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます！
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます！5匹は見れました！群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです！
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です！
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした！
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ！

There were a lot of fish while snorkeling, but I was a bit disappointed that there were few colorful ones. We went as a family of three, and my daughter, who is not fond of the ocean, stayed close to me, allowing us parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were also able to see sea turtles underwater and seals floating on the surface nearby. The sailing after snorkeling, with the splashes of waves, was surprisingly thrilling and fun.

シュノーケリングで魚は沢山いたのですが、色の付いた魚が少なかったのが、少しガッカリでした。家族3人で行ったのですが、海が苦手な娘にずっと付き添ってもらえて、親は安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。海中のウミガメ、海に浮かぶアザラシも近くで見えました。シュノーケリング後の波飛沫を上げて進むセーリングが思いの外、迫力があり楽しかったです。

We experienced parasailing in Hawaii as a couple on our honeymoon. Now that our son is 8 years old, we thought he could join us, so the three of us enjoyed parasailing together.

The captain and crew were great, speaking to our son in easy-to-understand English, and he seemed to have a lot of fun. They provided explanations in simple Japanese, so you can fly without any worries.

After flying, we had the classic experience of landing with just our lower bodies in the water! If you attach an action camera like a GoPro to your body while flying, you'll get some amazing footage.

新婚旅行のときに夫婦でハワイパラセイリングを体験しました。
息子も8歳になり、もう飛べるだろうということで、家族3人でパラセイリングを楽しんできました。

キャプテンとクルーの方もいい人で息子にわかりやすい英語で会話してくれて楽しそうでした。説明などは片言の日本語で十分してくれますので不安なく飛べますよ。

飛んだあとはお約束の下半身だけ着水！
GoProなどのアクションカムを体に取り付けて飛ぶととてもいい画が撮れますよ。

Upon arrival, it started to rain, and we were supposed to go on the second of the two boats. However, the boat broke down, and we were told we would go once the first boat returned. As the rain intensified, the trip was postponed, and our morning hopes were dashed. It ended up being in the early afternoon, and the voucher we provided did not return. I wrote down the details on paper and confirmed with a translation app that I would wait early at the meeting point two days later. Fifteen minutes before the scheduled time, they came to pick me up, and when we arrived at the boat dock, it was raining again and cold, but we completed the parasailing as planned. I think it would be reassuring if the staff could speak Japanese.

現地到着して、雨が降って来たところ二隻あるボートの内2番目に行く事になったがボートが故障して一番目に行ったボートが戻ったら行くとの事だったが、雨が強くなり、延期としたが、午前中の希望は通らず、午後イチになり、今日渡したバーチャーは戻らず、自分で紙に書いて翻訳アプリで確認して２日後に待ち合わせ場所で早めに待ってると、１５分前に迎えに来てボート乗り場に着いたらまたまた雨で、寒かったけど目的のパラセーリングは完了。スタッフさんが日本語話せれば安心出来ると思う

The experience was amazing and the staff were really helpful and great.

This is a great activity for all ages! The crew are very friendly and accommodating and the excursion is very well organized. We saw several large turtles and one juvenile turtle! The best thing about this excursion is not only do you have the chance to snorkel with lots of turtles, but the crew takes you out for a sail where you can enjoy cocktails onboard. Really great way to end the perfect tour!

Recommendation: if you are strong swimmer, you should consider renting fins to dive down and get a closer look at the turtles!

Beautiful Catamaran the Holokai takes you just out from Waikiki beach out into Turtle Canyon, so many turtles as soon as we got in the water I was absolutely amazed! Excellent, helpful, fun staff. Drinks & snacks on board to purchase very reasonable in price. Excellent Snorkel equipment provided. Will do it all again next time I’m in Waikiki for sure!!!

Great experience overall. It was amazing to see all of those beautiful fish swimming in and out of the reef. I would absolutely recommend this experience to friends.

This was our second trip aboard Atlantis and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. It is always nice to be able to do something you can't experience at home and living a thousand miles from any ocean submarines are fairly scarce where we live. I always enjoy seeing critters like sharks and sea turtles but any colorful sea life is enjpoyable. On the personal side we were treated with care and respect and at no time did we feel unsafe. Overall a great adventure. Thankyou very much.

I challenged myself to 150 meters. At first, I was nervous and a little scared, but I was relieved to find that it was surprisingly slow going. The view is amazing! It feels great. Since I did it near Ala Moana, I could see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When we returned to the boat, the kids were thrilled as they splashed in the seawater and then went back up into the air. The instructor was handsome and funny, and the driver was entertaining as well!

150mに挑戦しました。最初はドキドキして少し怖かったのですが、意外とゆっくり登っていくので安心しました。景色が最高です！気持ちいいです。アラモアナ付近でやったので、ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドが見えました。ボートに戻るときに海水にボッチャンしてから、また上空に登っていったりするので子供たちは大喜びしていました。
インストラクターがイケメンで面白くて、ドライバーも面白くて楽しかったです！

On December 26th, there was an unusually heavy rain in Hawaii. The parasailing scheduled for the next day was unfortunately canceled because the boat couldn't operate due to the rain. What bad luck... I couldn't believe it (>o<). The only option to cancel was just the day before my return, and after some hesitation, I decided to go for it the day before leaving.

My friend and I shouted "What a great decision!" as we soared into the sky. We ascended to a height of 150 meters, where we could see the city of Waikiki from the ocean, with the beautiful blue sky and the evening sun. It felt like we were birds. The aerial stroll lasted about five minutes, but it was incredibly refreshing, and I felt amazing! When we landed, the customary splash of our feet was delightful. I want to try it again!

ハワイではあまり経験したことがないくらいの大雨の12/26。翌日のパラセーリングがなんと船が雨のために動かなくなり、中止に。なんとアンラッキー…。こんなことがあるのか(>o<)と。キャンセルにするか、できるのはギリギリ帰国の前日しかなく、迷った末、帰国の前日にやることにしました。
友人と二人で、正解！と空で叫びました。150メートルの高さまで上り、ワイキキの街が海から一望でき、青い空と夕刻の太陽がとてもステキでした。まるで鳥になった気分。約五分くらいの上空散歩でしたが、とても爽快で、気分は最高！降りるときには恒例の足ぽちゃも、気持ちよかったです。また、トライしたいです。

I was worried about whether I would enjoy it since everything was in English, but the captain and the other foreign passengers were very kind to my husband and me, and we had a great time! My husband caught two fish, and one was released. We had a total of three catches! I want to try again when we come back to Hawaii♪ Oh, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication in case the waves are rough!

オール英語でしたので楽しめるか不安でしたがキャプテンや同乗した外国の方々も私達夫婦に優しく接してくださり大変楽しい時間を過ごせました！旦那様は二匹釣りあげ一匹はリリース。計三匹の釣果でした！またハワイへ来るときはリベンジしたいです♪あ、波が荒い可能性があるので酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方がおすすめです！

Once we headed out to sea and it was our turn, we jumped right in. It was a moment of becoming a bird in an instant. All I could hear in the sky was the sound of the wind; it truly felt like a different world. Even those who are not good with heights will be fine. I didn't feel any seasickness at all, probably thanks to the medication. I highly recommend it!

沖に出て順番が来たら直ぐに飛び出されました。あっという間の鳥になった時間。上空は風の音だけしか聞こえない、本当に別世界でした。高いところがダメな人でも大丈夫。船酔いも薬の効き目か全くありませんでした。是非オススメします！

I had a really great time!! The instructor during the experience was wonderful, and the driver for the pickup and drop-off was also very cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease. We were the only Japanese people there, but it was helpful that they provided explanations in Japanese! I would like to use this service again (o^^o).

本当に楽しかったです！！体験中のインストラクターさんはもちろん、送迎の運転手さんもとても明るくいい人で安心できました。私たちしか日本人はいなかったのですが、日本語でも説明をしてくださって助かりました！また利用したいと思います(o^^o)

I participated with my mother on January 5th. It was our first time, and my mother, who is 65 years old and had a past experience of almost drowning in the ocean, was quite anxious at the start.

However, thanks to Dan and Chieko's assistance, we were able to enjoy the experience until the end and see beautiful fish and turtles.

I apologize to the other participants for monopolizing Chieko, but both my mother and I were very satisfied!

My mother, who experienced snorkeling for the first time at 65, gained confidence from it and says every day that she wants to go again soon, haha.

This is an activity that both beginners and experienced individuals can enjoy. While you can visit Hanauma Bay on your own, Dan and Chieko know the best spots, so if you're going, I highly recommend this option.

You can also obtain photos for free from Facebook, making it a nice keepsake.

Dan and Chieko, I look forward to our next time!

1/5に母と二人で参加しました。二人とも初めてで、65歳になる母は昔海で溺れたこともあり、不安いっぱいでのスタートでした。

でも、DanさんとChiekoさんの手助けのおかげで最後まで楽しむことができ、綺麗なお魚や亀を見ることができました。

Chiekoさんを独り占めしてしまい、一緒に参加した他の方には申し訳ありませんでしたが、母も私も大満足でした！

65歳にもなって初めてシュノーケリング体験した母は、自信にも繋がり、早くまた行きたいと毎日言っております笑

初めての方も経験者の方も楽しめるアクティビティです。ハナウマベイは個人でも行けますが、ベテランのお二人だからこそ見どころスポットを熟知されてますので、せっかく行かれるのでしたらこちらがおススメです。

お写真もFacebookから無料で入手できるので、記念にもなります。

Danさん、Chiekoさん、次回も宜しくお願いしますね！

I participated with four friends in late December. One of my friends said, "I'm scared, so I'll just watch." But despite that, we boarded the boat and were told by the staff to put on life jackets without any argument... "Put your feet in here and sit down..." There was no time to be afraid as we floated into the air. The boat below gradually became smaller, and I felt no fear at all; I felt foolish for hesitating. Although we all fall into the category of elderly people aged 65 and over according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, experiencing this for the first time at this age was so much fun that we all agreed... I'm enjoying this at my age during this year-end period! Long live the elderly!

　12月下旬に友達4人で参加しました。「怖いから私見てるわ」と言いです仲間も。と言いながらも船で沖合へ、係員から有無を言わさずライフジャケットを着てと・・・「ここに足を入れて座って・・・」恐れている暇はなく空中へふーわと。眼下のボートはだんだん小さくなって　怖さは全くなく躊躇した自分がバカみたい、皆　厚労省の人口分類では65歳以上の高齢者に入るのですがこの歳で初体験　異口同音にこんなに楽しめるなんて・・・
俺はこの歳だから年末のこの時期に楽しめるんだぞって!
高齢者バザーイ。

It was my first experience in October 2016. My wife liked it. It's coming soon! Please take care of it on January 30, 2018, as well.

2016.10初めての体験でした。
奥さんが気に入ってます。
もうすぐなんだ！
2018.1.30 もお願いいたします

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. I also requested transportation, and the shuttle arrived on time. Since it was 120 meters high, the view was great and I had a lot of fun.

ハワイでのパラセイリングは初めてでした。
送迎もお願いしましたが、時間通りに送迎車が来ました。
高さ120mのものだったので景色もよく楽しかったです。

Our entire group, including a friend with cebral palsy, had an incredible time! The crew taught us what we needed to know & provided us with everything we needed to have a great time except towels. They knew just where to go for us to see sea turtles!!!! We also saw several schools of colorful fish. We even had an impromptu boat party with music, snacks, drinks, pirate & viking hat! It was one of the best parts of our Hawaiian vacation! Worth every penny! If we come back to Hawaii, they will definitely be apart of our vacation plans!! Thank you Holokai crew

It was my first experience with parasailing, and I was scared at first, but I enjoyed the scenery of Hawaii. My 6-year-old child was also very excited and wants to go parasailing again. The guide was kind and it was a lot of fun.
