All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We participated as a couple. We followed the recommendation to join in the afternoon of our arrival day. We were exhausted from the flight, so I wanted to rest a bit at the hotel and have lunch before joining, but there wasn't enough time. We ended up checking in, changing clothes, and hurriedly heading to the meeting place. On the way, I regretted not doing it the next day, but once we got on the boat and out to sea, all those thoughts disappeared! The incredibly beautiful blue sea and sky, the refreshing breeze, and the view of Waikiki from the ocean made me forget reality and lifted my spirits. I was hungry, so the beer hit me pretty hard (laughs), but that was fine too. You get two free drinks, but given the time, it feels like you might not be able to drink both, so it's better to drink quickly. The snacks were just a few types of snack foods in bowls... but they were surprisingly tasty, so I ended up eating a bunch at the end! It finishes quickly, but it's enough for a sailing experience. It was a wonderfully luxurious time where I could just relax. In our session, the participants were about half foreigners and half Japanese. The main crew member was a cheerful and kind Japanese-American who explained everything in both English and Japanese, which was reassuring. Next time, I want to join a longer sailing trip where we can also see dolphins.

夫婦で参加。到着日の午後におすすめという口コミを参考にしてその通りにしました。飛行機でぐったり疲れていたので、ホテルで少し休んで、お昼を食べてから参加したかったのですが、その時間はなく、チェックインして着替えて慌ただしく集合場所へ向かうことになり、途中、翌日にすればよかったかな、と、ちょっと後悔したのですが、船に乗って海に出たらそんなの全部吹っ飛んでしまいました！信じられないほど奇麗な蒼い海と空。気持ちのいい風と沖からのワイキキの眺め。一気に現実を忘れられてテンションが上がりました。空腹だったのでビールが結構効きました（笑）が、それもまた良し。お酒2杯まで無料ですが、時間的に2杯飲めるかどうかという感じなので、さっさと吞んだ方が良いです。スナックは本当にただのスナック菓子が数種類ボウルに入れてあるだけです…が食べてみたら結構美味しかったので、降り際にまとめ食いしました！あっという間に終わりますが、セーリング体験には十分です。気持ちよくボーッとできて最高に贅沢な時間でした。私たちの参加した回の参加者は外国人と日本人が半々位でした。メインクルーのお兄さんは元気で優しい日系の方で、英語と日本語で順番に説明してくれたので安心でした。次回は、イルカも見れる、もっと長時間のセーリングに参加したいと思っています。

You can get a sticker based on the flight distance. First, we started with the 300 feet group. Once the other group of 300 feet finished, it was finally our turn for the 800 feet. However, three-person equipment was installed, and my husband and daughter (800 feet) were called to the center. On either side were couples from the 300 feet group. Indeed, the rope and time were longer than the 300 feet.

It’s not that we were deceived; we were definitely flying at 800 feet. But it’s a mystery why we were grouped with those who had the 300 feet sticker. Essentially, it seems like they benefited from this arrangement. Even though we were a couple, we couldn’t sit next to each other, which felt like an awkward upgrade from 300 to 800 feet. I didn’t ask since I wasn’t losing out, but it felt a bit haphazard.

My husband and daughter who flew said it was incredibly exhilarating! According to my daughter, it was the most fun she had during this trip to Hawaii. She’s saying she wants to fly again, so as an activity, it was fantastic!

飛行距離によって、手にシールを付けられる。
最初、300feetの方から。
もうひと組の300feetの方々が終わったら、いよいよ私たち800feet。
と思いきや３人用金具が取り付けられ、主人と娘（800feet）が呼ばれ真中に。
両脇に300feetのカップルが其々。。確かに紐と時間は、300feetより長い。

騙されたわけでもなく、ちゃんと800feet飛んではいるのだろうが
何故300feetのシールを付けた方々と一緒か謎。。。要はこの方々が得をしてる、という。
カップルなのに、隣同士出来なくてごめんね、的な意味合いでおまけで300→800へのグレードアップなのか。
自分が損してるわけでないのであえて聞かなかったが、なんか適当だな、と思いました。

飛んだ主人＆娘は、最高に気持ち良かったと！
娘曰く、今回のハワイで一番楽しかったそうです♪
また飛びたい、と言ってるのでアクティビティとしては最高です！

We had heard really great things about Girls Who Surf so had picked them for our very first surf lesson. One downside is that apparently it is impossible to actually get a female instructor which makes you wonder about the name of the group. Our instructor was Warren and he did a good job of explaining what all to do and then took us into the water. I was horrible at it and opted to sit out and let my husband finish the course instead and he actually ended up doing rather well. They took photos for us and since we were such bad surfers and there were so few photos they gave us a discount on the photo package. Both Warren and the photographer were really nice. Only possible negative of the outing is that even though we had provided height/weight info ahead of time they did not bring a board big enough for my husband and had to go get another board which delayed the start of our lesson. Wasn't a big problem since the weather was nice and we basically just sat on the beach waiting.

I signed up for the highest jump at 150 meters among all the groups that flew together. Strangely, I felt no fear at all, and it was definitely the right choice to go for 150 meters. The view of Waikiki, the ocean of Hawaii, and the horizon from above the sea was all breathtaking. I also asked for photos, and when I said in Katakana English, "Please take a lot of pictures!! ♪", they ended up taking 118 shots for me. Since they provided the data on a 4GB memory card, I thought $30 was quite a bargain, and I really felt it was worth it because they used a proper DSLR with a telephoto lens. For some reason, our group was also given the special service of dipping a little into the water, which made me feel like I got a great deal (laughs).

一緒の時間に飛んだ全グループの中で一番高い１５０ｍで申し込みました。不思議なことに怖さは全く感じず、１５０ｍで大正解でした。海の上空から見るワイキキ、ハワイの海、水平線、すべてが感動的でした。写真もお願いしまして、カタカナ英語で「たくさん撮ってください！！♪」と言ってみたら、118枚も撮って下さっていました。４ＧＢのメモリーカードにデータを入れて頂けるので、それで３０ドルは安かったなと思いますし、きちんとした一眼の望遠レンズで撮って下さったので頼んでよかったと本当に思います。なぜかうちのグループだけ水面にちょこっと落としてくださるサービスをしていただき、大変得した気分でした(笑)

We participated as a couple. Since we had taken a different surfing lesson the day before, we were a bit tired and left a little early with more than enough time. We also received T-shirts, which made for a nice memento.

夫婦で参加しました。
前日、違うサーフィンレッスンに参加したので疲れが残っていたのと十分すぎるくらいの時間で少し早めに上がらせてもらいました。
Tシャツも頂けて、良い記念になりました。

We participated as a couple. It was my wife's first time surfing, but since it was a private lesson, she felt at ease. The conversation in English was slow, and they paid attention to our reactions, so it wasn't a problem for us, even though we couldn't speak much. With their excellent support, we were able to stand up from the very beginning, and we were very satisfied with the different views and sensations of the ocean.

夫婦で参加しました。
妻は始めてのサーフィンでしたがプライベートレッスンだったので安心して臨めました。
英語での会話もゆっくり、こちらの反応を見て下さるのでほとんど喋れない私たちでも問題なかったです。
絶妙なフォローで最初から立つことも出来て、今までと違った海の景色と感覚に大満足でした。

Participated with my husband and two boys (9 & 10). My children and I were nervous at first. But the two guides were awesome and very friendly. They explained the rules and prepared us for our tandem rides. Once we were up in the air the nerves went away.The view was so breathtaking. One of the guides also took some amazing photos of the whole experience (for purchase). I will definitely use Hawaiian Parasail again.

It was amazing. I was able to see the streets of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above. The height didn't feel as high as I expected, but it felt like I was a bird. I want to do it again. I also got to take a lot of pictures.

最高です。空の上からワイキキの街並みとキレイな海を眺めることができました。高さは思ったよりはあまり高く感じませんでしたが、鳥になった気分です。またやりたいです。写真もたくさんとってもらいました。

Even though I can't speak English, I received polite lessons! The instructor and the person who came to pick me up were both foreigners, but everyone was kind, and I had a great time surfing♪ I participated alone, but I highly recommend it!

英語がしゃべれない私でも丁寧にLessonをして頂きました！
インストラクターの人も、お迎えに来て頂いた方も外国人ですが
みなさん優しい方でサーフィンも楽しくできました♪
ひとりで参加しましたが、おすすめです！

The pickup was on time, and we were brought by trolley. We were the only Japanese among those who boarded the boat, and the others were native speakers, so it was quite challenging to keep up with the English. However, the staff managed to convey the important points in broken Japanese, which helped a lot. I took motion sickness medication, but I still got quite seasick, and the second half was tough because I felt nauseous. The parasailing itself was very enjoyable.

お迎えは時間通り、トロリーで来てくれました。一緒にボートに乗った中で日本人は私たちだけで、他の方はネイティブだったので英語についていくのはかなり大変でしたが、大事なとこだけはスタッフが片言の日本語で言ってくれたのでなんとかなりました。酔い止めをのんで行ったけど、それでもかなり船酔いして、後半は気持ち悪くて大変でした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

This was an awesome trip! My daughter and I were a little nervous but it was totally safe and the crew were great! Very friendly and very funny! We would definitely go on this trip with this company again!

You absolutely should do it! Highly recommended!! You should definitely buy the photos taken!! It was so much fun that my husband ended up giving them $10 without thinking about it, haha. We had a wonderful experience☆

絶対やった方が良いです!おすすめ!!
撮っていただいた写真も買うべきです!!
本当に楽しすぎて、
旦那さんは思わず１０ドルも
渡してしまったほどですww
素敵な体験が出来ました☆

This was the best para-sailing experience we have, we already para-sailed before in Cabo but it was not as good as the Hawaiian Para-sail. I would recommend this to anyone para sailing for the first time or experienced people. The tour guides were amazing as well.

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

We signed up for a fun activity for our family of four on the afternoon we arrived in Hawaii. I was worried we might be too tired, but it turned out to be such an enjoyable tour that those feelings disappeared. We were the only Japanese participants, but every time someone took off, both the staff and the others around us got excited. The staff were lively and skillfully entertained us while driving, making it a tour filled with laughter. Seeing Hawaii from above is amazing! While waiting for the boat, there aren't many covered areas, so I recommend bringing a hat and drinks.

今回は家族４人でアクティブに遊ぶという目的で、ハワイに着いた日の午後に申し込みました。疲れて大丈夫かな。と思っていましたが、そんな気持ちも吹き飛んじゃうほど楽しいツアーでした。日本人は私達だけでしたが、誰かが飛ぶたびに、スタッフの方も周りの方も盛り上がり、スタッフの方はきびきびしながらも、巧みに運転しながら楽しませてくれるので、笑いっぱなしのツアーでした。ハワイを空の上から見るのは最高です！船が来るのを待っているときは屋根のあるところが少ないので、帽子や飲み物など持って行くといいと思います。

It was very hot, and waiting until the gathering was quite tough. I wish I could have waited in the shade. However, once the boat set sail, the pleasant breeze felt great. The beer we had offshore was delicious. I was satisfied. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite something.

とても暑く集合までの待ちがたいへんでした。日陰で待ちたかったかな？でも、船が出港してからはここちよい風で気持ちがよかったです。沖合で飲むビールのおいしかったこと。満足です。海から見るワイキキのまちもなかなかのものでしたよ。

We had a great time parasailing over the beautiful blue waters!!! The crew was amazing, very friendly and funny which made the experience even more fun!!! This is a must if you are visiting Oahu... The sights are magnificent!

I boarded a mixed bus from the Heideman office at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and headed to the beach. Everyone except me was part of a group, so I felt a bit lonely, but once I got into the water, it didn't matter about the group. I paddled on my own to reach the instructor, and when the waves came, they helped me. The instructor mentioned that if you're not used to paddling, it's difficult to ride the waves on your own.

The approximately two-hour lesson flew by, and depending on your stamina, you can ride the waves quite a bit! Since it's a less crowded beach (with a reef below), you can enjoy it without worry, and I highly recommend it.

All the explanations were in English.

ワイキキグランドホテルにあるヒーデマンのオフィスから混合バスに乗り込み、ビーチへ。私以外は皆グループで参加していたので少し心細かったですが、海に入ってしまえば、グループも何もありません。自力でパドルして、インストラクターの元に行き、波が来たら押してもらいます。インストラクターが普段からパドル慣れしていないと、自力で波に乗るのは難しいと言っていました。
約2時間のレッスンはあっという間でした体力次第でバンバン波に乗れますよー
人気の少ないビーチ（下がリーフ）なので、心おきなく出来ますし、オススメです

説明は全部英語でしたー

great expierence....we spent a great time with beautifull people!!!

I was wondering what it would be like at 130 meters above ground, but the bright blue sky and ocean, the towering Diamond Head in the distance, and the cityscape of Honolulu, along with the round horizon, created a view that was even more amazing than I imagined!! I had a blast on the boat, especially with some playful performances that involved getting splashed with seawater ^_−☆

上空130mなんてどうなることかと思ってたけど、真っ青の空と海、遠くにそびえるダイヤモンドヘッドとホノルルの街並み、そして丸い地平線と想像以上に素晴らしい景色で最高でした！！海水にわざとつけられたり、ちょっといたずらなパフォーマンスで船上でもめっちゃ楽しめました^_−☆

Friendly aloha spirit all around. If you're in Hawaii, then try surfing!! These guys are the best around by far. They take you away from the crowded side of Waikiki and truly give you a great lesson.

Fantastic trip, heaps of turtles to look at and even better cocktails after the snorkel. I would recommend this tour to everyone who enjoys to get in the water

The weather was really nice, and overall it was amazing. The scenery and the color of the sea were truly beautiful, and I wanted to fly again. It felt natural and wasn't scary at all, both during takeoff and landing. The crew was friendly and had a great vibe, making it a lot of fun!!

天気がとても良く、とにかく最高でした。景色も海の色も本当にきれいで、また飛びたいと思いました。飛ぶ時も降りるときも自然で怖くありませんでした。船の方も親切でノリもよく、楽しかったです！！

It was my second parasailing experience, and it was just as great as before!!! However, last time they burned the photos onto a CD and sold them, but this time it was a rental format where I had to copy the data myself, which was disappointing... But I took a ton of pictures with my own digital camera!!! The view from the sky was amazing!!

2回目のパラセイリング体験でしたが、やはりとてもよかった！！！
ただ、前回は撮ってくれた写真のデータをCDに焼いて売ってくれましたが
今回は、データをレンタルで自分でコピーして下さい形式で残念でした。。。
でも自分のデジカメで撮りまくったので！！！
空中からの眺め、最高でした！！

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.

Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.

If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.

一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為？可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

The staff were all very friendly, and they entertained us by speaking in Japanese and our broken English, even though we couldn't speak English well☆

They took a lot of photos for us, and the view from the high spots was amazing‼ The way they maneuvered so that our bodies didn't touch the sea and only our feet were in the water was truly impressive‼ If we ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to join this tour again꒰*´艸｀*꒱

お店の方全員がとても感じが良く、英語の話せない私たちを日本語や私たちの片言英語でも話してくれ楽しませてくれました☆

写真も沢山撮ってくださり、高い所も景色も良く最高でした‼
体が海につかないように足だけつけてくれる操縦は本当に感動しました‼
また是非ハワイにいく事があったらこのツアーには参加したいです꒰*´艸｀*꒱
