All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

what a wonderful tour. snorkeling for a beginner or someone with a little experience. our tour guide made us feel safe and made sure we saw lots of fish and turtles as he knew where they were often seen. going without a guide, I don't think I would have ventured as far from shore as I did.

My first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the support of our guide, all five of us were able to enjoy snorkeling, especially my friend who was trying it for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles twice, which I believe was thanks to our guide's assistance. The comfort of being able to speak in Japanese and the information about local shops that we received were also great. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to request the guide again.

Hanauma Bay was filled with cats, almost like a cat island, which was perfect for me as a cat lover.

初めてのハワイ、シュノーケリング初体験の友人にずっとサポートしてくださり5人全員で楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメに2度も会うことが出来たのも、ガイドさんに案内していただいたからこそだと思います。日本語で話せる安心感、教えていただいた現地のお店の情報も良かったです。ハワイに行くことがあったら、またガイドをお願いしたいです。
ハナウマ湾が、まるで猫の島みたいに猫ちゃんだらけだったのも、猫好きな私には最高でした。

I participated alone, but there was one other Japanese person, and I had a great time. The snorkeling was amazing, as I encountered not only fish but also many sea turtles, and it was thrilling to swim alongside them! The male crew members were kind, cheerful, and fun. I would love to join again.

一人で参加しましたが日本人も一人でしたが十分楽しめた。
シュノーケリングは魚だけでなく、ホヌも沢山遭遇し、間近で一緒に泳げるので感動的です❗クルーの男性も親切で明るく楽しい。また参加したい。

This was a great family friendly experience with helpful friendly staff.

The instructor was very dedicated in assisting us. There was a simple explanation at the beginning on how to do it, so you can participate with peace of mind.

インストラクターのお姉さんが一生懸命アシストしてくれました。
始めにどうやるのか簡単な説明もあり安心して参加出来ますよ。

I heard from a friend who has seen various shows in Hawaii that the Hilton's luau was absolutely fantastic, so I decided to go.

The day before, there was heavy rain, and I was worried it might be canceled (it mentioned indoor seating), but on the day itself, it was beautifully clear. However, since it was going to be evening, a jacket was necessary. With guaranteed front-row seats, we also had priority for the buffet, and an extra drink was included, so we really enjoyed the meal.

There were couples from all over the world celebrating their honeymoons and silver anniversaries, and it was fun to chat with everyone at the same table. Our seats were the fourth row from the front, and the dancers were visible from all directions, so I had no particular complaints. However, I was a bit put off by the amusement park-style photo sales.

Whether you go early or not doesn't make much of a difference, but I'm glad I opted for the guaranteed seating.

前日が雨がすごかったのでもしかしたら中止（室内）と書いてあったので
不安になっていましたが
当日はカラッと晴れてましたが夜になるので上着は必要でした。
前方席確約だとブッフェも優先的に
そしてもう一杯ドリンクがついているので

同じ席でいろいろ話も弾んで楽しかったです。
席自体は前の方の席で4番目
ダンサーさんはどの方向からも見える位置なので特に不満もなかったのですが
遊園地のような写真の販売にちょっと興ざめしてしまいました。

早くいってもいかなくても大して変わらないけど
確約席にしてよかったです。

FAMILY FRIENDLY STAFF, amazing boat, very clean. A once in a life time experience I would recommend to anyone in Hawaii.

The experience was definitely worth the time and cost. Picture taking left a bit to be desired, problem with reflection through the portals...wished we could have seen more sea life...may have just been the Tim of the year.
The narrative was well done.

We wanted to snorkel with sea turtles and we were not disappointed. Great crew who were very helpful getting us to the right location and then finding the turtles for us. We saw about 8 turtles in all. A wonderful experience.

I experienced this on December 4th. The guide was incredibly nice. It had been raining in Hawaii for a long time, and finally, it cleared up on this day. We were told that it was cold and the chances of seeing a sea turtle were low, so my family and I had given up on that idea, thinking it would be fine just to see various fish. However, miraculously, we were able to encounter one sea turtle! It was truly wonderful. Overall, I was very satisfied because the guide was such a great person!

12月4日に体験しました。
とーっても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
ハワイはずーっと雨が降って居て、この日にやっと晴れてくれました。寒いしウミガメに会える確率は低いよー。と言われ、いろんなお魚に出会えるだけでいっか。なんて家族で断念していましたが、奇跡的に１匹だけ出会うことができました。
ほんとうに、素敵でした。
とにかくガイドさんがとても良い方だったので大満足でした！

The weather was nice on the day, and it was more fun than I had imagined. There were no scary things like I had worried about. The early morning plan is recommended as it allows you to make the most of your day. Next time, I would like to take commemorative photos from a higher place.

当日は、お天気も良く想像以上に楽しかったです。
心配していたような怖いことはありませんでした。
早朝プランは、1日を有効に使えてオススメです。
次回はもっと高いところから、記念写真をお願いしたいと思います。

I chose this tour after reading the other reviews and we were definitely not disappointed. The good reviews are all true. Dan is very experienced and friendly. He is very patient and kind with beginners and answered all our questions. The hour long snorkel is definitely enough time. This is a excellent tour for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. We saw so a huge variety of fish and the whole experience met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dan for a great day. We recommend you and your company without any hesitation.

I arrived a little early at the meeting place, and since it was a hot day with no shade, waiting was a bit challenging. I signed the documents and boarded the boat. The staff were all friendly. When it was our turn, we went up to a height of 120 meters and enjoyed the breathtaking view, which was very moving. I felt no fear of the height once we were up, so I think choosing 120 meters was the right decision. The view of Waikiki Beach and the blue ocean from the sea side was very impressive.

集合場所に少し早く着き、暑い日だったので日陰もなく待つのが少し大変でした。書類にサインをして、ボートに乗りました。係の方は皆フレンドリーでした。自分たちの番がきて１２０mの高さまで上がり、絶景を楽しみとても感動しました。上がってみて高さに対する怖さはありませんでしたので１２０mにして正解だと思いました。海側からみるワイキキビーチと海の青さがとても印象的でした。

We started our first parasailing adventure at 150 meters at 10 AM! There were five groups participating, including us. The 9 AM and 11 AM slots had fewer participants. After having a hearty breakfast (which I regretted later... haha), we were all set! Since we were staying at the Hilton, we could walk to the meeting point without getting lost. The guide spoke very little Japanese, but we managed with gestures.

With many groups, the time spent on the boat is longer, so it's better to take motion sickness medication! Also, keep breakfast light (laughs).

Once we took off, it was simply amazing!! It was a quick journey through the skies! My husband, who isn't fond of roller coasters or the feeling of flying in airplanes, was totally fine. We were both nervous before flying, but in the end, it became the best memory of our trip! (The photo is from when we were dropped into the sea before returning to the boat.)

10時から初めてのパラセイリング150ｍにチャレンジ！
私たちを入れて５組参加していました。９時と11時スタートは組数が少なかったです。
朝ごはんをお腹いっぱい食べ（後で後悔・・笑）、準備完了！
ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで迷わず歩いて行くことができました。
ガイドさんはほとんど日本語は話せませんが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります。
組数が多いと船に乗っている時間が長いので、酔い止めは飲んでいたほうがいいです！あと、朝ごはんはほどほどに(笑)
いざ、飛んでみると最高の一言！！あっという間の空の旅でした！
ジェットコースターや飛行機のふわっとするのが苦手な旦那さんも、ぜんぜん平気でした。
飛ぶ前は2人でびくびくしていましたが、最後には旅行の一番の思い出になりました！

My wife and I had a wonderful time on our snorkeling trip. Dave was very patient with us, especially me, as we learned the basics.

We were picked up on time by a very professional and knowledgeable driver who explained everything we needed to know before entering Pearl Harbor. We had time to visit the museum buildings which included many relics from the era and the gift shop before entering the building where a short film is seen. We then boarded a boat piloted by military personnel who brought us to the memorial. Once we entered the memorial we we asked to keep conversations to a whisper to respect the souls below. It was a very humbling moment for us all. We were then taken back to shore and boarded our bus to head to the Missouri. We were told NOT to take any pictures while driving they the military base until we got to the Missouri, There are lots of places to have a quick meal before and after boarding the Ship. Once you're on the ship you can go out on your own or take a free guided tour which I would suggest. because all of the important areas like where the surrender took place. After the tour you will still have time to walk about the ship and to go beneath to view crew quarters and other areas of interest. After leaving the ship we boarded our bus, picked up our bags and purses at the locker area (not allowed at Pearl Harbor) and headed to the Punch Bowl for a short drive thru to pay our respects then to our hotels. This was a very informative tour done by a great drive who also acted as the tour guide. He didn't miss a thing and made us feel that we were back un the day with his presentation. His company would be very proud of him!!

It was a fantastic tour! Our guide/bus driver Larry was a wealth of knowledge on everything from Hawaiian history to all the buildings in the area and I learnt so much that I would have never known without him. He also told us plenty about Pearl Harbour too and made sure we knew what we were doing. He was very funny too and you could tell he was very experienced and qualified for his job, it was a fantastic experience and definitely worth my money.

Even for someone with a fear of heights like me, I had a great time!!! Everything went smoothly, and it became a wonderful memory! If I go parasailing in Hawaii again, I would like to book here!

高所恐怖症のわたしでも
とても楽しめました！！！
全てスムーズで、良い思い出になりました！
また次ハワイでパラセーリングするならこちらで予約したいです！

It was a lot of fun from the moment we boarded until we flew back over the harbor. It was thrilling. We even saw dolphins from the boat by chance. Since we had an evening reservation, we were able to take photos with the sunset in the background, and I was very satisfied.

乗船してから上空を飛んでハーバーに戻るまで、ずっと楽しかったです。スリル満点でした。船からは偶然にもイルカが見れたりしました。夕方の予約でしたので、夕日をバックに写真を撮って頂いたりり、大満足です。

Absolutely amazing! The scenery was great, the weather was perfect, and the parasailing staff were really nice, making for a wonderful experience. This time we went up to 150 meters, and even though my wife has a fear of heights, she truly enjoyed it, and we were both very satisfied.

本当に最高❗️景色も良く天気も良くパラセーリング担当の方々も本当にいい人で良い経験できました✨
今回は150mで嫁が高所恐怖症なのですが、本当に楽しでおり2人とも大満足です。

I stayed at Hilton and walked to the meeting point, but it was difficult to find. The parasailing itself was fun, but it seems I needed to ask the captain for photos before parasailing, so it's a shame I don't have any pictures from the experience. The information was only provided via email, which left me dissatisfied with the service.

ヒルトンに宿泊していたため徒歩で集合場所へ向かうも場所が分かりづらかった。
パラセーリング自体は楽しく参加できたけど、写真を撮ってもらうには、パラセーリング前に船長にお願いする必要があったらしく、パラセーリング中の写真がないのが残念。
メールでの案内だけなので、サービスに不満が残った。

Although I have been to Oahu many times, this was my first experience with parasailing. Considering my age, I thought this might be the first and last time for such an experience, so I convinced my daughter, who is not fond of heights, to join me. We chose the lowest height of 90 meters, but the ride was so comfortable that I wished we had gone a little higher. From takeoff to landing, our guide continuously took photos, and for an additional fee, they provided them on an SD card, which became a wonderful keepsake. Thank you for your assistance.

何回もオアフ島に行っているのに初めてパラセイリングを体験しました。
年齢的にもこのような体験は最初で最後と思い、高いところが苦手な娘を説得しての参加となりました。
苦手な娘のことも考え一番低い９０ｍにしましたが、空の遊覧はあまりにも快適でもう少し高くすれば良かったと思いました。
飛び立つところから下りるまでガイドさんが写真をとり続けてくれて、おまけに有料ですがSDカードにしてくれて記念に残るものとなりました。
お世話になりました。

I was surprised to see so many turtles off the coast of Waikiki! The staff were very friendly and created a fun atmosphere by engaging with everyone.

The participation description mentioned that snorkeling gear, masks, and fins were included, but it stated that fins are not included in the tour price. If you wish, you can rent them for a fee ($5–6) at the Aqualani Beach Stand next to the check-in area.

Just to be safe, I bought fins and brought them with me. Even though they weigh 500 grams, they made my suitcase heavy. Please provide a thorough explanation.

ワイキキ沖で沢山の亀がいることにびっくりしました！
スタッフの方々はとても感じが良く、皆に声を掛けて楽しい雰囲気を作っていました。

The scenery was great, but the lively staff were the best! I had the most fun on this trip! Thank you so much! :-)) Also, everyone, don't forget to tip.

景色もさることながら、ノリの良いスタッフが最高！今回の旅で一番楽しめました！ありがとうございました〜:-)) それと、みなさんTIPを忘れずに。

We are a family of 4 with a infant. Snorkeling was not an option but we wanted to see marine life. The boat was great, captain took the boat out gently; no turbulence, baby was happy. We got to see dolphins, turtles and schools of fish

took my 9 year old granddaughter up with me... this was a thrill and 1/2 !!
one more item i can check off my bucket list.
these two guys that took us out were just Awesome

My experience was wonderful. It was the first time I had ever been snorkeling and the instructors were fabulous. I would definitely do it again.

The large windows made it very easy to see, which was great. Those who participated in the normal submarine mentioned that the windows were small, and they had to lean in to look out. However, I think it was just luck, as I didn't encounter any dolphins or turtles. Inside the submarine, it was very cold, so I used a hoodie and a shawl. The monotony and the cold made me feel sleepy in the second half. Since I rarely get to go diving, I think it was a unique experience.

大きな窓だったので、とても見やすくて良かったです。ノーマルサブマアリンに参加した方は、窓が小さくてかがみこむようにして眺めてたと話していました。ただ、やっぱり運だと思いましたが、イルカやカメには出会えませんでした。潜水艦の中はとても寒くてパーカーとストールを使いました。淡々としているのと寒さで後半は眠くなってしまいました。めったに潜水なんてできないので、珍しい体験にはなったと思います。

At 63 years old, I was anxious about trying outrigger canoeing for the first time, but it was an amazing experience. I encourage everyone to give it a try. Make it a wonderful memory in Waikiki, Hawaii.

６３歳にして初めてのアウトリガーカヌー実際不安がありましたが最高の気持ちよさでした。
皆さん是非挑戦して下さい。ハワイ・ワイキキの素敵な思い出にして下さい。

This time, we participated with five family members in the standard seating. I heard that there was a lei service, so I was ready to take photos when receiving the lei at the entrance, but we did not receive any leis and were processed in a conveyor-belt manner.

When we took our seats, the order for going to the buffet was prioritized for those at tables that received leis, and we had to wait for a while. Those who did not receive leis and did not understand the language were allowed to go without any warning, while those who understood the language were subjected to derogatory remarks.

Only those at the lei tables were allowed to participate in the show. I felt a sense of discrimination throughout. I thought that if I had known this, it might have been better to arrange for seats where we could receive leis (priority seating), but I also believe I would have felt uncomfortable in the opposite situation.

Next time, I would definitely like to choose the Polynesian or sunset cruising show.

今回スタンダードシートで家族５人で参加しました。
内容詳細にはシェルレイのサービスがあるとのことで、入り口で配られているレイを受ける時に写真で撮影しようとスタンバイしていましたが、私たちにはレイのプレゼントはなく、流れ作業的に進まされました。
席についても、ビュッフェの食事を取りに行く順番がレイを貰ったテーブルの人優先で、しばらく待機させられ、言葉のわからないレイを貰っていない人たちが行っても注意はなく、言葉のわかる人たちからは中傷の声が上がっていました。
ショーに参加する観客もレイの席の人のみ。ことごとく差別を感じました。
こんなことなら少々料金が高くても、レイのもらえる席（優先席）を手配したらよかったのかと思いましたが、逆の立場でも嫌な思いをしたと思います。
次回は是非ポリネシアンか夕日のクルージングのショーにしたいと思います。
