All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We happened to attend on the one day it rained. luckily we weren't in the boat during heavy rain but it meant we could see the lovely island view from the boat due to the clouds and had to return slightly early. That said though, the crew was wonderfully and I still had a great time out on the water.

I made a reservation for the Standard 90! It was a clear sunny day! The boat was quite bumpy, but they went fast, and I found it really fun! The parasailing was high and scary, but I could see sea turtles, and I also got to see planes taking off from the airport and Diamond Head, which felt amazing! The captain was very enthusiastic about providing great service! Thank you very much!

スタンダード90で予約させていただきました！当日快晴！ボートはかなり揺れますが、スピードだしてくれて、わたしは、かなり面白かったです！パラセーリングは、高くて怖かったけど、ウミガメもみえて、空港から飛び立つ飛行機やダイヤモンドヘッドもみえて最高に気持ちよかったです！サービス精神旺盛なキャプテン！ありがとうございました！

I challenged myself to 150 meters. I had been looking forward to it since I made the reservation, and the view exceeded my expectations, making it a wonderful memory. The height of 150 meters was initially scary, but I got used to it quickly. A sense of unity developed among the participants, and I was able to connect with people from different countries. If you bring a digital camera, it seems that the guide will take photos for you while you're in the air.

150mに挑戦しました。予約した時からとても楽しみにしていましたが、期待以上の眺望で、とても良い思い出になりました。150mの高さも、最初は怖かったものの、すぐに慣れました。参加者同士も一体感が生まれ、違う国の方々と盛り上がることができました。デジカメを持参した場合、ガイドさんに手渡しておけば、空中での写真を撮ってくださるようです。

I decided to challenge myself to fly in the sky as a celebration of my upcoming 60th birthday. Since I was staying at the Hilton, it was only a 10-minute walk, so there was no time loss. I trusted the reviews that said even if my English wasn't great, everything would work out. As a result, everyone was so kind and skilled at helping me relax, so communication was no problem at all. Although it was only 120 meters, I enjoyed it enough. Thanks to the impressive work of the two crew members on the boat, I was able to shout and laugh loudly in the sky, feeling the thrill and becoming one with the wind. It was a great experience! I highly recommend it!

もうすぐ６０歳になるので記念に空を飛んでみようとチャレンジしました。まず宿泊がヒルトンなので歩いて１０分以内でタイムロスがない、さらに英語はダメだけど、どうにかなるというレビューを信じ当日を向かえました。その結果、皆さん優しいので緊張しないようにリラックスさせるのが上手なのでコミニュケーションも取れ全く大丈夫ですま。１２０ｍでしたが十分楽しめます。ボートの２人のクルーの見事な仕事ぶりのお陰で空の上で大声で叫んだり笑ったりスリルもあり風を感じ風と一体になれ良い経験でした。お奨めです！

The weather was great, and it was the best. There was a parking lot nearby that offered 6 hours of free parking. Afterward, you can take a leisurely walk to Kahanamoku Beach. The sandy beach is wide and not crowded.

天気にも恵まれ、最高でした。駐車場場も6時間無料が直ぐ近くにありました。終了後は、徒歩でカハナモクビーチでのんびり出来ます。砂浜も広く人が少ないでした。

I've been to Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first time parasailing! I went with a mix of anxiety and excitement, but there was nothing to worry about; it was incredibly safe and enjoyable, even more than I imagined.

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky was just breathtaking! We were blessed with beautiful weather, with a stunning blue sky and ocean. I don't think you can find such scenery anywhere else. I definitely want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイには10回以上行っていますが、なんと今回が初めてのパラセイリングでした！不安と期待とで胸を膨らませて行きましたが、不安なことは何一つなく、想像以上に安全で楽しめました。
空からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺められるなんてとにかく感激！お天気にも恵まれ、美しく青い空と海。こんな景色は他では見られないと思います。次回ハワイに行ったらまた是非やりたいです。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I booked a show. At first, I signed up for a show with transportation included, but since the meeting point was farther from the hotel, I opted for this one that I could get to on my own. For those with a short stay, I think it's good because you can see it in Waikiki, which minimizes time loss. It was standard, but it included a welcome drink plus one drink, and the food was decent. Perhaps because it was small, all the seats were relatively close to the stage. There was also a face painting service for kids, which they enjoyed. I think it's a good experience to try at least once.

せっかくハワイに来たので、とショーを申し込みしました。
最初は送迎つきのショーを申し込みましたが、集合場所がホテルより遠いため自力で行けるこちらにしました。
滞在時間が短い方にはワイキキで見れるため時間のロスが少なくてよいと思います。
スタンダードでしたが、ウェルカムドリンク＋１ドリンクつきで食事もまぁまぁかな～って感じです。こじんまりしているせいか、どの席もわりと近くで見れました。
子供にペイントサービスみたいなのもあって喜んでいました。
一度体験してみるにはよいと思います。

I was worried about my physical stamina, but I enjoyed it enough. I would like to use it again. I got tired from paddling, but it was fun!

体力的に心配してましたが、十分に楽しめました。
また利用したいですね。
パドルでバテましたが面白かったッス。

I was worried about getting seasick, so I took motion sickness medication after breakfast. I didn't get sick, but I was hit by an overwhelming drowsiness. The deeper we went, the darker it became, and the visibility wasn't that clear, so I dozed off and felt a bit out of it. If asked if I would go again, my answer would be NO. As mentioned in Manou Yamashita's book, in the morning, there were mostly Japanese people, so if you want to feel like you're abroad, I recommend the afternoon trips. In the morning, it was nice to have a Japanese guide and be able to listen to the explanations without headphones since there were many Japanese people... It was good that the shuttle bus dropped us off not at the original location, but partway, allowing us to get off in front of DFS without returning to the Sheraton. By the way, Manou recommended walking along the coast to the boarding area instead of taking the shuttle bus.

酔ってしまったら嫌だなあと思って、酔い止め薬を朝食後に飲みました。酔わなかったですけど、もの凄い眠気に襲われ、艦内は潜れば潜るほど暗くなるし、そこまで透明度も明瞭でないので、ウトウト、ぼーっとしてしまいました。もう1回行く？と聞かれたら、ＮＯ、です。山下マヌーさんの本に載っていた通り、午前中は、日本人がほとんどだったので、海外気分を感じたいのであれば、午後便がお勧めです。午前は、日本語ガイドになり、（日本人が多かったので）ヘッドフォンをつけずに解説を聞けるのは良かったと思いますが・・・。送迎バスの送りで、元の場所でなく、途中で、おろしてもらえたのは良かったです。（シェラトンまで戻らずにＤＦＳ前で降車できた）ちなみに、マヌーさんは、送迎バスで運んでもらうのではなく、海岸をずっと歩いて、乗船場まで行くことをオススメしていました。

This was my second time, and it was impressive to see it right in front of me. My child was also captivated. Thank you.

今回で２回目でしたが目の前で見れてしかも迫力があり子供も釘付で見てました。
ありがとうございます。

This company is awesome. Had a great time! Staff is amazing and very fun!

Boat didn't have enough seats for everyone so in the beginning and end we were left standing.

We participated with three adults and one high school student. We traveled by boat from the sandy beach to the spot. The ride can be bumpy, and it shakes while waiting for others to fly, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

After about a five-minute boat ride, the staff starts preparing everything. We took off our sandals, put on life jackets, and once we were ready, the groups started flying one after another. You choose the height when you make the reservation, but it didn't seem to be confirmed, so the height doesn't seem to matter much. What was checked were the number of water landings and the force of the jump. I didn't want to get wet, so I used "ones! mild!" and only splashed a little. Some people got quite wet, but it seems it's also possible to come back dry.

The flying lasts just under ten minutes, but it feels amazing. It was quite high and a bit scary, but I had enough time to wave my hands and take pictures. The staff were handsome and kind, and it was fun to chat with others on the same boat.

大人3人高校生1人で参加しました。砂浜からスポットまでボートで移動しました。移動も揺れますし、他の方が飛んでいる待機中も揺れますので酔い止めは飲んでいった方が良いと思います。

ボートで5分くらい移動したらスタッフの方が着々と準備を始めます。サンダルを脱いで、ライフジャケットを着て、準備が整うとはじのグループから次々に飛んでいきます。予約の時に高さを選びますが特に確認されることもなかったので、高さはあまり関係ない気がします。確認されたのは着水の回数と勢いです。私は濡れたくなかったので「ones！mild！」と使えたのでポチャくらいでした。人によってはかなり濡れていましたし、濡れずに帰ってくることも可能みたいです。

飛んでいる間は10分弱ですがかなり気持ちいいです。結構高くて少し恐さはありましたが手を振ったり、写真を撮る余裕はありました。スタッフの方がイケメンで親切で、同じボートの方との話ができたり楽しかったです。

I participated with my family and my 2-year-old nephew. I was nervous that there might be a height check since he was just barely 92 cm, but there was no check, and we were able to board without any issues.

The boat from the beach to the submarine sways quite a bit. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the submarine, and during that time, people who are prone to motion sickness felt quite nauseous on the swaying boat. Once we boarded the submarine, it was calm and steady once submerged.

Underwater, the visibility was poor, and we couldn't see many fish. There were fish around the artificially sunk feeding area. I was a bit disappointed because the photos on the website looked too beautiful, and I had that image in mind. Additionally, inside the submarine, we only listened to explanations through headphones, and there was hardly any interaction from the crew, which was a bit disappointing. However, the elementary school-aged children seemed to enjoy it.

2歳の甥と家族で参加しました。身長が92cmギリギリだったので乗る前に検査でもあったらどうしようとドキドキしてましたが、特に検査もなく何も言われずに乗れました。
浜辺から潜水艦までの船が揺れます。また潜水艦を待ってる時間が10分くらいあり、その間も揺れる船上で待機のため酔いやすい人はかなり気持ち悪くなってました。潜水艦に乗船し、沈んでしまえば揺れもなく穏やかです。

沈むと海の中は濁っておりあまり魚が見えませんでした。人工的に沈められた餌場の周りには魚がいます。ホームページなどの写真が綺麗すぎるのでそのイメージでいたのでがっかりです。また、潜水艦の中はヘッドホンで説明を聞くだけで乗務員さんからの話はほとんど無いのでそれも少し残念です。小学生くらいの子供は楽しんでいました。

I was able to see every corner of Waikiki. It felt great to be surrounded by the wind! ✌️ But, I was still scared because I couldn't touch the bottom. The mischievous, good-looking guy was funny!

ワイキキの隅々まで見渡せました。風をいっぱい受けてキモチ良かった〜〜✌️でも、やっぱり足がつかないのは怖かった〜いたずらっ子のイケ面お兄さんが面白かったよ

This was one of the greatest highlights of our whole vacation!! The staff were so friendly and kind. We shared the boat with other passengers who were on their honeymoons and on family vacations also. It was a great environment. And the kids had so much fun watching how they set up the parasails. The pictures turned out fantastic and it was overall amazing, I wish to come here again :)

My husband wanted to try surfing, so I joined him. It was my first experience with surfing.

We were picked up by car on the way there, and since the hotel (Moana Surfrider) was close, we walked back afterward. It took about 10 minutes.

The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable during the lesson. I also received a CD with photos taken during the lesson, and it was a really great experience. I participated thinking I would just be a companion, so I didn't have much stamina and had to return to the beach partway through (laughs). Paddling is quite tiring!!

夫がサーフィンをやってみたいと言うので参加しました。サーフィンは初体験でした。
行きは車で迎えに来てもらい、帰りはホテル（モアナサーフライダー）が近かったので歩いて帰りました。10分くらいです。

受付スタッフは日本語を喋れるかただったのでとても安心して受講できました。
レッスン中の写真を撮ったCDRもいただき、とても良い体験ができました。
私は付き添い程度のつもりで参加したので、体力もなく途中でビーチに帰らせてもらいました（笑）パドリング、結構疲れます!!

We participated as a family of five. It was our first experience riding the waves right in the middle of Waikiki Beach, and everyone was thrilled. The guide was also attentive and explained everything well.

There was one downside: the activity time was short. Depending on the guide's discretion, it could end in about 15 to 20 minutes. We managed to ride the waves about three times. Since we asked to do a bit more, we ended up riding for around 30 minutes and about five times, but if you don't say anything, it could very well end in 15 to 20 minutes with just three rides. So, be cautious about that.

However, this is definitely one of the activities I would like to participate in again when we go back to Waikiki. We had a great time!

家族５人で参加
ワイキキビーチのど真ん中で波に乗るということを初めて体験でき、みんな大喜びでした。
ガイドも丁寧で説明も上手です。
難点が一点。アクティビティーの時間が短い。
ガイドの思いひとつで、１５～２０分程度で終わりの場合もあるようでした。
波に乗ることが３回程度でしょうか？
私たちは、もう少しやらせて欲しいと相談したので３０分、５回くらい波に乗りましたが
何も言わなければ１５～２０分、３回で終了もあり得ます。要注意ですね。
しかし、またワイキキに行くときには参加したいアクティビティーの一つですね。
楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I was moved by how they sincerely listened to my booking troubles and worked hard to address them. They provided an abundance of local gourmet recommendations about Hawaii, making it feel like more than just a single tour; I really enjoyed it.

ブッキングトラブルに親身に相談に乗ってくれて、一生懸命対応してくれたのは感動した。
ハワイについてもご当地グルメをこれでもかと案内いただいて１つのツアーとは思えないぐらい満喫させてもらった。

I was worried about the 150 meters, but it was a very enjoyable parasailing experience. The view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from above was amazing!

150mは心配でしたが、大変楽しいパラセーリングでした。
上空からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドも最高でしたよ。

I was anxious about how it would feel to fly, but it was very pleasant, and I wasn't scared at all. I'm really glad I did it. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from above were beautiful and amazing. I definitely want to do it again!

どんなふうに飛ぶのか、不安ながら参加したのですが、とても気持ちよく、怖さもなく、本当にやってよかったです。空の上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチなどは、きれいで、最高、また、やってみたいです。

On the cruise, I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles swimming. Since my child is small, we couldn't use the stroller, but I would definitely like to visit again when they are old enough to ride.

クルージングでは、マンタやウミガメが泳いでいるのを
見ることができました。
子供が小さいのでバギーには乗れませんでしたので、乗れるような歳になれば
またぜひ遊びに行きたいです。

The experience was amazing! It was more than we had hoped for. The crew- Michelle, Connor and Felipe were awesome.

The morning reservation was fully booked, so we ended up on the afternoon tour, but the fish were beautiful, and we got to see a sea turtle, which made us very satisfied! I think we definitely wouldn't have found them on our own. The waves were a bit high, and my 6-year-old son, who was snorkeling for the first time, got scared, but the two instructors carried him on their backs the whole time. When he spotted the sea turtle, he managed to see it with his own eyes, and he said, "Next time, I'll try harder!" My daughter, who loves fish, was really happy because Teacher Chieko taught her a lot of things.

午前の予約が空いてなくて取れず、午後ツアーになってしまいましたが
魚もきれいだったし海がめにも会えて大満足でした！
自分達では絶対に見つけられなかっただろうなと思います。
波も高めで初シュノーケルだった６歳の息子は恐がってしまいましたが
先生２人がずーっとおんぶで泳いでくれて
海がめを発見した時は頑張ってちゃんと自分の目で見られたので
「また行ったら、もっと頑張る！」
と言っています。
魚が大好きな娘に、Chieko先生が色々と教えてくれて
すごく喜んでいました。

We requested private lessons for our son (11 years old), father (49 years old), and mother (43 years old). Our son had the pleasure of attending twice during our stay.

It was the first time for our entire family to try surfing. Once we entered the ocean, each of us had a one-on-one lesson with an instructor. At first, we were filled with anxiety: Would we understand what the instructor was saying? Could we stand up? Is it really okay to come this far out? However, all those worries disappeared after the very first attempt! Although we struggled to stand up and fell quite a bit, the instructor was incredibly kind! No matter how many times we failed, he encouraged us with praise.

He spoke some Japanese, so there was never a moment where we felt lost in understanding. When he taught us the timing to catch the waves, the board started moving at high speed, and I panicked, unable to do what I had learned, which resulted in more falls. I felt sorry for not being able to do it well despite his earnest teaching, but each time, he patiently reminded me to "Relax! Remember how to do it!" Following his instructions, I was finally able to stand up! It was an indescribably amazing feeling!

Our son progressed much faster than us and was having so much fun that he was completely hooked! So, we decided to request another lesson for him the day before our return (the parents refrained due to budget and stamina). I was also happy that the receptionist was a Japanese woman, and we were able to chat a lot.

The instructor for this lesson was different from the last, but he was also wonderful, and we had a fantastic time. The photos taken with the instructor are treasures for our son.

If we had plenty of money and time, we would love to stay at the Park Shore Hotel where the school is located and attend lessons every day during our stay in Hawaii!

息子(11歳)、父(49歳)、母(43歳)でプライベートレッスンをお願いしました。息子は滞在中２回お世話になりました。
家族全員人生初のサーフィントライでした。海へ入るとそれぞれ先生がマンツーでレッスンスタートとです。 先生の言ってることがわかるのか？立てるのか？こんな沖まで来ちゃって大丈夫なの⁇ 最初はドキドキしまくりでしたが、そんな不安は最初の１回目のトライで吹き飛びました(*^▽^*) 立てない、落ちまくりでしたが、先生がとにかく優しい‼︎‼︎ 何度失敗しても褒めて育ててくれます(^o^)
日本語をまじえて言ってくださるので、理解できなくて困ることはありませんでした。波に乗るタイミングを先生が教えてくれた時にはボードが猛スピードで進み始めているのでテンパって習ったとおりにできない＝立てない、落ちる を連発。あんなに一生懸命教えてくださるのになかなかうまくできなくて申し訳ない気持ちでしたが、その度に「リラックス！やり方を思い出して！」と根気強く教えてくれ、先生の言うことをちゃんとやれば立てましたー‼︎ もう言い表せない最高の気分でした！
息子は親達よりもはるかに上達が早く、楽しくて仕方がない‼︎と、どハマりでした。ならば‼︎と帰国前日に息子のみもう一度レッスンをお願いしました。(親達は予算と体力の都合上自粛) この日は受付が日本人女性でたくさんお話しができたのも嬉しかったです。
レッスンは前回と違う先生でしたが、またとてもステキな先生でとても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。先生と撮った写真が息子の宝物です。
お金も時間もたくさんあるならスクールの入っているパークショアホテルに宿泊して毎日レッスンに通うハワイ滞在を過ごしてみたいと話しています(๑>◡<๑)

Fun, interesting, relaxing and beautiful way to see the water, the skyline, the sun and sky!

The female staff member in Japan provided various explanations and shared many stories on the way to Hanauma. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, it was reassuring that they kept an eye on everyone to ensure we didn't get separated.

日本の女性スタッフの方でハナウマまで行く途中も色々説明して色々お話を聞けました。
ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、皆がバラバラにならない様に見てくれるので安心です。

Even at 90 meters, it was really high up, and the strong wind made it a bit scary when it swayed! But 90 meters was enough for us. The view from above was amazing!

They asked if we wanted to take photos for $30, but we decided to have a couple of newlyweds from the same tour take pictures with their iPhone, so we didn't get the photos.

Since it was an iPhone, our faces weren't captured clearly, but they were able to take videos as well, which was nice. If you want clear photos of your face, I think it's a good idea to ask the staff to take pictures with a DSLR camera.

90mでもすごく高くまで上がって、風がきつくて揺れると少し怖かったです！
90mでも私達には十分でした。空から見る景色は最高でした！
写真を30＄で撮るかと聞かれたけど、同じツアーの新婚さんのカップルにiPhoneで撮ってもらうことにしたので写真は撮ってもらいませんでした。
iPhoneなので顔までハッキリとは写らないけど動画も撮ってもらえたしよかったです。
顔まではっきりと写して貰いたければスタッフの人に一眼レフカメラで撮って貰ったらいいと思います。

I didn't expect to catch so many fish. The captain was very cheerful, and the explanations were easy to understand, making the fishing experience enjoyable. The fish we caught were also very delicious and the best!

ここまでたくさん釣れるとは思っていませんでした。キャプテンはとても明るく、
説明もわかりやすくて、たのしく釣りができました。
釣った魚もとても美味しくて最高でした！

I had heard from a Japanese travel agency that there could be accidents, so I was actually worried, but the boat left right next to the Hilton, and before I knew it, we were starting with the first group. In my case, there were three groups consisting only of Japanese people. There were also families who were just sightseeing and taking photos on their own. My 10-year-old child had a great time as well. I was relieved that there was no anxiety about landing, and they helped us get off the boat smoothly, so I didn't get wet at all from start to finish, even in my clothes. I had an 800 sticker on my hand, so I think I signed up for 120 meters, but was it 800 feet? It was higher than I imagined, and I thoroughly enjoyed the gentle breeze and the beautiful scenery! The cost for the SD card for photos (there were many shots I couldn't take myself!) was $35, and I prepared a tip for the boat staff who explained things in broken Japanese (o^^o). I took some motion sickness candy, but while waiting for the others, my son felt a little nauseous.

事故もあると日本の旅行会社から聞いてたので、実は心配していましたが、ヒルトンのすぐそばから船が出て、酔う間も無くもう1組目のスタートという感じでした。私の時は日本人の方だけの3組でした。見学だけで自分で写真を撮ってるご家族の方もいました。10歳の子どももとても楽しめました。不安だった着水もなく、船に上手に降ろしてもらえたので洋服でも良かったくらい最初から最後まで何も濡れませんでした。手に800のシールを貼られたので、たしか120mに申し込んだかと思いますが800フィート？想像以上の高さでゆったりと流れる風と素敵な景色を存分楽しめました！写真のSDカード代（自分じゃ撮れないショットも多いです！）35ドルと、カタコトの日本語で説明してくれた船のスタッフさんへチップのご用意を(o^^o) 酔い止めの飴舐めましたが、他の方のを待ってる間に少しだけ息子は酔ったそうです。
