All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It's quite difficult to evaluate, but as a former scuba diver, I can't help but feel that the underwater visibility and the abundance of fish here just don't meet my expectations. In fact, the waters of Guam or Saipan might be better in comparison (though I'm not sure if they have submarines there).

Ultimately, the beach from which the Atlantis submarine departs is very shallow, with endless stretches of white sand. While there are artificial reefs submerged to provide habitats for small fish, sadly, it doesn't seem like many fish have taken up residence there. Additionally, the sand on the seabed stirs up, reducing the clarity of the water.

This is something that can be said for any diving location, but typically, you need to take a boat for about 30 minutes to an hour from the port to reach a diving spot with good conditions. Therefore, having high expectations for a dive just 15 minutes from the pier, at a depth of about 15 meters, seems unrealistic.

That said, if the tour were to take you 30 minutes or an hour from the pier, with depths of 20 to 30 meters, the tour costs would likely double and wouldn't be financially viable. On the other hand, participants might hesitate to spend that much time and money.

So, it's best not to expect much in terms of water clarity or fish abundance here. Instead, if you can accept it as simply an event (attraction) where you can "ride a submarine and explore the waters of Hawaii," it might be enjoyable for small children.

Inside the submarine, each person can listen to a Japanese audio guide through headphones, which provides a wealth of information and is quite enlightening. While it may differ slightly from the typical ways to enjoy Hawaii, it could be enjoyable for those who are tired of shopping or pool activities.

なかなか評価するのが難しいところですが、自分のように元スキューバーダイバーの人間からするとどうしてもこの程度の海中の透明度や魚影の濃さ（＝魚の量）では満足はちょっとできません。これだともしかするとグアムやサイパンの海の方がまだマシなのかもしれません。（グアムやサイパンに潜水艦があるのかどうかは知りませんが）
結局、このアトランティス号が出航している浜辺はずっと遠浅でしかも白い砂地が延々と続いています。ですから一応海の中には小魚の生息場所として人工の漁礁が沈められているのですが、悲しいかなそれほどまでには魚が棲み付いている感じがしません。更に海底の砂が舞って海中の透明度がさほど良くないのです。
ただこれはどこの海を潜ったとしても言えるのですが、大抵は港から片道30分～１時間ぐらいは船に乗って行かないとなかなか好条件の揃ったダイビングスポットにはお目に掛かれないのが普通なので、このように桟橋から出航して僅か15分程度の、しかも水深も15ｍ程度の海に過大な期待をするのは鼻から無理なようにも思えます。
かと言って、これで桟橋から片道30分や１時間、そして水深も20～30ｍまで潜るようだとツアー費用も今の倍でも採算が合わないでしょうし、一方のツアーに参加する側からしても、「そこまでお金や時間をかけてまでは・・・」と尻込みをしてしまうに違いありません。
ですからここはあまり海の透明度や魚影の濃さには期待をせずに、ただ「潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海を潜れちゃうんだよ！」という･･･ただそれだけのイベント（アトラクション）と割り切ってしまえば小さなお子様とかにはそれなりに楽しんで貰えるのかもしれません。
あと潜水艦の中では1人にひとつずつヘッドホンから日本語の音声ガイドが聴けるのですが、これがなかなか情報量が多く聴くと結構為になります。まぁ一般的なハワイの楽しみ方とは若干、系統が違いますのでショッピングやプール遊びに飽きた人とかにはそれなりに楽しめるのではないでしょうか。

We had an amazing time on this tour. The guides were so helpful and made sure my children learned to snorkel and stayed safe. They made sure we saw a lot of fish and we even saw a sea turtle.

I experienced 90M. A few years ago, I had experienced 45M, but the view is quite different. The blue of the sea stands out, and the scenery of the city and mountains is amazing. It was slightly cloudy on the day, but I enjoyed it.

Just hearing about the height can be scary, but once you start flying, it doesn't matter. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 150M.

By the way, I completely forgot about my previous experience and ended up getting sunburned again. During the travel time and while waiting for others to fly, you will definitely get burned, so it's better to apply sunscreen before going.

９０Mを体験。
数年前にに４５Mを経験したことがありますが、見える景色はかなり違います。
海の青さは際立ち、街や山の景色は最高。　当日は若干曇っていましたが楽しめました。
高さのみ聞くと怖くなりますが、飛んでしまえば気になりません。
次回は１５０Mにチャレンジしたいと思います。

なお、前回の体験をすっかり忘れておりまた日焼けしてしまいました。
行き来の時間、他の人が飛んでいる間の待ち時間等、確実に焼けますので日焼け止めを
塗っていったほうがいいです。

Despite being in my late 50s, I challenged myself to 130 meters. I can only describe it as amazing! I think even those with a fear of heights would be fine. Now I want to try something over 150 meters!

50代後半にもかかわらず、130mに挑戦しました。
もう最高としか言い表せません❗
高所恐怖症の方でも問題ないと思います。
次は150m以上をやってみたくなりました❗

The crew is what made this adventure even better! They were VERY engaged and eager to help in any way possible! The turtles were amazing to see and came right up next to us. Would do it all over again!

At first, I was anxious, but it was so much fun!!! They provide support in a safe and secure manner, and the cheerful staff made it really enjoyable!! The view of Oahu from the sky is just incredible ♥ Next time, I want to fly a little higher!

最初不安でしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかった！！！安心安全にサポートしてくれるし、陽気なスタッフさんでとても楽しかった！！
空から見るオアフ島もたまらない♥次はもう少し高いところ飛んでみたい！

While the activity itself was good and the captain and crew were attentive....the travel arrangements were subpar and caused eight of us to squeeze into vehicles not meant to transport that many people. The other tour participants ranged from families with small children to young adults who called it a "booze cruise" .... I would suggest that the tours be advertised as either "family friendly" or a "party tour", which is one that freely hands out alcohol to young folks who are interested in partying. Having tours designated as such would allow the people seeking the particular type of activity to choose which tour to sign up for, the company can have it both ways. Overall, we enjoyed the activity ... Just not all of our fellow passengers.

The driver who picked us up was very cheerful and shared a lot of interesting information about Hawaii! The recommendations for restaurants and tips on how to shop affordably were really helpful♪

The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. The view from the boat was also very nice, and we were able to enjoy our waiting time!

I thought it would be surprisingly high and scary, but both going up and coming down were slow, so I didn't feel scared at all. The weather was great, and it felt really nice! (*^^*) I signed up for the 90m option, and I think the duration was just right—not too short and not too long! I definitely want to try it again☆

お迎えの運転手さんがとても陽気な方で、ハワイ情報を面白おかしくたくさん教えてくださいました！オススメのレストランやお得にお買い物する方法など、とっても為になりました♪

船は結構揺れるので、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもしれません。船からの景色もとても良く、待ち時間も楽しく過ごせました！

思いの外高くて怖そうだな〜と思っていたのですが、上がる時も降りる時もゆっくりなので全然怖さは感じませんでした。お天気も良く、本当に気持ちよかったです！(*^^*) 90mで申し込みましたが、時間も短すぎず長すぎずでちょうど良かったかなぁと思います！ぜひまた挑戦したいです☆

I joined this tour after reading reviews. As someone who can't swim at all, I felt like I could swim on this tour, and I had been set on doing snorkeling here! After receiving explanations together, I practiced one-on-one with Teacher Chieko, who kindly encouraged me to relax, and before I knew it, my fear of the water disappeared. Once I got used to it, it was really easy!

I quickly got comfortable and joined everyone else, swimming with my husband holding my hand. I swam in the ocean for the first time in my life. The beauty of the underwater world was truly amazing!! I was able to see many fish and even a sea turtle♡

The only ones who swam energetically until the end were those wearing wetsuits (including me). I highly recommend wetsuits for sun protection and managing your health! Even though I was so anxious about not being able to swim, I wanted to keep swimming forever, and it was the best tour I had in Hawaii! My husband and I talked about wanting to do it again.

Teacher Dan was fluent in Japanese and great at making jokes, which made our time really enjoyable♫ Thank you for the wonderful photos!! I'm grateful to both of you☆ I want to try diving next time (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

口コミを見てこちらのツアーに参加しました。
まったく泳げない私はこのツアーなら泳げるような気がして、シュノーケルやるならここ！！ってずっと決めてました。
みんなで説明を受けた後、最初は泳げない私とチエコ先生とマンツーマンで練習し、その間優しい声をかけてリラックスさせてくれて、いつしか水に対する恐怖心はなくなってました。慣れたらとても簡単でした！
すぐに慣れてみんなと合流し、夫に手を引いてもらって泳ぎました。
…生まれて初めて海を泳げました。海の中の綺麗さは本当に素晴らしかったです！！たくさんのお魚にウミガメも見る事が出来ました♡
最後まで元気に泳いでたのは見事にウエットスーツを着てる人だけでした（私も）。日焼け防止と体調管理にウエットスーツは本当にオススメです！
あんなに泳げなくて不安だったのに、ずっとずっと泳いでいたいくらいで、ハワイに来て１番最高のツアーだったね！またやりたい！って夫と話してました。
ダン先生は日本語ペラペラでジョークが得意で話してて本当に楽しかった♫
素敵な写真もありがとうございました！！お二人に感謝です☆
次はダイビングで参加してみたいです(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

It was fun! I recommend it.
If the height is over 90 meters, the experience doesn't change much, so I think it's best to decide on the height based on how long you want to enjoy it.
(The higher you go, the longer the airtime.)

Also, there's the budget to consider ^^
Tips are requested at the end, so around $1 to $3 is fine.
(You just receive it without looking at the amount.)

楽しかった！お奨めです。
高さは90メートル以上ならば体感はあまりかわりばえしないので、時間的に長く楽しみたいかどうかで高さを決めたら良いと思います。
（高いほど滞空時間が長くなります）

あとは、御予算ですかね^^
チップは最後に求められるので、1～3ドルくらいでＯＫです。
（額は見ないで受け取るだけですから）

Thanks to the staff's thoughtful arrangement, while paragliding, I dove into the sea with my lower body about twice on the way back down. It felt great in the water and was so much fun! I want to do it again when I go to Hawaii!

店員さん？の粋な計らいでパラセーリング中に空から戻る時、2回くらい下半身は海にDIVEしました。笑
海も気持ちよくてすごく楽しかった！
ハワイ行ったらまたやりたいです！

I had a very enjoyable time! It was very pleasant, and I even got to see a pod of dolphins along the way, which was amazing! It became a great memory.

とても楽しい時間をすごせました！
とても気持ちよく、途中でイルカの群れなどもみれて、最高でした！
良い思い出になりました。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but I wanted to try kayaking. I was hesitant because I was scared of capsizing, but after enjoying the views of Kailua and Ilikai Beach, I thought it would be fun to challenge myself and visit a small island in its natural state.

I really felt the beautiful nature of Hawaii up close, and I'm so glad I did it. While circling Flat Island, I saw birds resting among the coral reefs and crabs, and the guide made me feel like the world is so vast.

They explained the situations that could lead to capsizing, and having a guide made me feel secure. Next time, I want to build my stamina and land on Twin Islands to have lunch!

ハワイには何度もきてるけど、カヤックはやってみたいけどひっくり返ったら怖いなあと避けてましたが、カイルアやイリカイビーチを眺め、自然のままの小さい島へいくのも楽しそうとチャレンジしました。
ハワイの美しい自然を近くに感じられて、ほんとにやって良かったです。
フラットアイランドを一周しながら鳥がサンゴ礁の間に休んでたり、蟹をみたり、ガイドしてくれて、世界って広く感じられます。
転覆するのはどういった場合か説明してくれたし、ガイド付きは安心です。
今度は体力つけて、ツインアイランドに上陸してランチを食べるのをやりたいです！

I had so much fun. Great value for money. There was a good amount of snorkel time (and lots of turtles!). Friendly staff! I would go again!

The teaching was great and it was fun. It was a good workout from the morning. The location was not crowded, the waves were good, and I was able to stand up quickly. I want to take the lesson again.

教え方も上手で楽しかったです。
朝からよい運動になりました。
場所もすいていて、よい波がくるし、すぐに立てますよ。
また受けたいです。

I went parasailing for the first time!! It was a breathtaking view, and I felt like it ended too quickly; I wish it had lasted a bit longer!! I recommend bringing a waterproof phone case that you can hang around your neck!! If it's sunny, you can capture a wide range of stunning scenery!!

初めてパラセーリングしました！！
絶景でした、時間がもう少し長かったら良いかなって思うくらい、あっと言う間に終わりました
！！首からぶら下げる防水用のスマホ用のカバーを持って行く事をオススメ致します！！
晴れていれば絶景が広範囲撮れます！！

This was my first time there and it was great and very informative. The tour guide was very impressive with all the history of Hawaii and very proud of it.

We had such a fun time snorkeling. I would very much recommend this tour for first time snorkeling. Dan was so helpful and patient with everyone, and a BIG thank you from us for that. This experience defiantly left us wanting to do this again.

I'm generally not good with heights and I'm not a big fan of roller coasters, but I felt safe while parasailing and it was really fun to feel like I was floating. Although Japanese wasn't spoken, there were other Japanese people around, so it wasn't a problem at all. Everything went according to schedule without any issues, which was great.

高いところが基本苦手でジェットコースターもあまり好きではないのですがパラセーリングは安心して乗れて浮いてる感じがしてすごく楽しかったです
日本語は通じないですが他にも日本の方もいて全然苦にならなかったです 時間も予定通りでトラブルなくよかったです

I signed up for the 150m and participated while feeling nervous about the high price, but the moment I floated up, the boat quickly got farther away, and I didn't feel scared at all. It really felt like I was flying, and it was incredibly enjoyable! The flying time was just right—not too long and not too short—so I was very satisfied. I want to experience it again when I go to Hawaii!

150mに申込み、高すぎたんじゃないかとドキドキしながら参加しましたが、ふわっと浮き上がった瞬間にどんどんボートが遠くなるのに、怖さは全く感じませんでした。本当に飛んでいるみたいで最高に気持ちよかったです！飛んでいる時間も長すぎず短すぎず、大満足でした。ハワイに行ったらまた体験したいです♪

I chose the 90m option, and it was higher than I imagined, with a longer duration. However, if you're going to experience it, I recommend the 90m. Anything more might have too long of a hang time?

Be careful of seasickness. I had never experienced motion sickness before, but I almost felt it for the first time. However, the captain advised me to look far away, and doing that, along with flying in the sky, helped me feel better.

While floating in the air, I watched helicopters and Cessnas, and I think it's a wonderful experience to drift so quietly in the sky. It seems there are other parasailing tours available as well.

The crew takes photos for you, and when you return to land, they sell you the entire set on an SD card for $30, but we didn't buy it.

You'll need a swimsuit and a towel. If you're going to take photos with your phone, a waterproof one is safer. Women were not allowed to wear a skirt over their swimsuits. At the end, they let you dip down to your waist, which feels nice.

By the way, the reason I'm standing with my legs together in the photos is because of the ropes. Have a great trip!

90mを選びましたが想像以上に高く、時間は長めです、しかしせっかく体験するのであれば90mをおすすめします。それ以上は滞空時間が長すぎるかも？
船酔いには注意してください。今まで乗り物酔いをした事無かったけど初めて酔いそうになりました、しかし船長さんが遠くを見るようアドバイスくれて、それをした事と、空に飛んだ事で大丈夫でした。
空に浮きながらヘリやセスナを眺めたんですけど、こんなに静かに空を漂えるってとても素晴らしい体験だと思います。他にもパラセーリングツアーはあるようです。
乗組員の方が写真を撮ってくれて陸に戻るとSDカードに入れて自分達のを丸ごと売ってくれます、
30ドルですが私達は買いませんでした。
水着とタオルがいります。携帯は撮影するなら防水が安心です。女性は水着の上にスカートはいたらだめでした。最後は腰あたりまで着水させてくれて気持ちいいですよ。
所で、写真で内股になっているのはロープのせいですよ。良い旅を！

I tried parasailing for the first time.

The weather was great on the day of the activity, and our boat set off with three groups: a group of Japanese people, a group of Westerners, and us.

We headed out to sea for about 15 minutes before taking off into the sky.

We chose the 120m option and were the second group to go.

There were two male staff members who were very friendly, cheerful, and had a playful spirit, which made it a lot of fun.

At first, I was worried because I’m not good with heights, but for some reason, I felt completely at ease and there wasn’t much swaying.

The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the vast ocean from above was exceptional, and it was a wonderful experience!

I thought I would like to go parasailing again when I visit next time. Thank you!

パラセーリングは初めて挑戦しました。

当日はとても天気がよく、私達を含め、日本人のグループ、欧米の方のグループの3グループで船は出発しました。

15分ほど沖に向かい、そこから空へ飛び立ちます。

私たちは120mを選び、2番めでした。

スタッフは男性二人でしたが、とても気さくで明るく、遊び心がありとても楽しめました。

最初高いところが苦手なので怖かったらどうしようと思っていましたが、なぜか全く怖くなく、揺れもそんなにありませんでした。

空から眺めるワイキキの街とダイヤモンドヘッドと広い海は格別で、とても良い経験でした！

また訪れた際には、パラセーリングしたいなーと思いました。
ありがとうございました！

Dylan and Jaime did a great job providing a fun and enjoyable time. The views were amazing and even the nervous members of our party had a blast.

We experienced this as two women. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but they provide a Japanese instruction manual, so there are no safety concerns. We were taken up to a height of 150 meters, which is probably something you can't experience in Japan, and we enjoyed it while squealing with excitement. Considering it's equivalent to the 50th floor of a building, it can be intimidating, but we had so much fun up there without any fear. The time spent in the air was also very long, and we were completely satisfied. The wet landing was thrilling and a lot of fun (if you don't want to get wet, just let them know you prefer a dry landing).

Since it was full, I was worried about the long wait time, but in reality, it passed quickly as we took photos and admired the rainbow over Diamond Head, so it wasn't a problem at all (it might have been nice that it was cloudy, so we were comfortable without suffering from the heat). If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the time between the shuttle bus arriving at the boat dock and the boat's departure was quite long. However, this might be unavoidable for scheduling purposes.

女性2人で体験しました。
スタッフは日本語は通じませんが、日本語の説明書を配ってくれるので、安全面での心配はありません。
150mという、おそらく日本では体験できないであろう高さまで上げてもらい、キャーキャー言いながら満喫しました。ビルの50階相当の高さと考えるとびびりますが、上空ではそんな恐怖心もなく楽しめました。滞空時間もとても長く、十分満足できました。wet landingもスリル満点でとても楽しかったです（濡れるのが嫌な場合は、dry landingと声をかけておけば大丈夫なようです）。
満員だったので待ち時間が長くてしんどいかなと心配しましたが、実際は、写真を撮りあったり、虹のかかったダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めたりしているうちにあっという間に過ぎてしまい、全く苦になりませんでした（曇りだったので、暑さに苦しむことなく快適に過ごせたのもよかったのかもしれません）。
強いて言うなら、送迎バスがボート乗り場に着いてからボートの出発までの時間が長いのが難点でしょうか。余裕をもったスケジューリングという意味ではやむを得ないのかもしれませんが。

It was fun, very friendly host & relaxing atmosphere. Well instructed with easy instructions.

We took a trolley for about 10 minutes and then moved another 5 minutes by boat to get ready for parasailing. We went up high, enjoyed it for a bit, and then came back down. Wait, that was it? It felt really short, and I was a bit taken aback by the request for a tip.

ピックアップのトロリーに乗り、10分ほど走って到着。そこからさらに船で5分ほど行ったところに移動していざ、パラセーリングです。
一回高く登って少し楽しんですぐ戻ってきて。あれれ？その一回でおしまいです。すごく呆気ないwでチップ要求ってちょっとどーなの？て感じでした。

The weather was unfortunately bad, but I was satisfied with all three courses.

The movie location tour was especially enjoyable, with the guide's stories being fun, and I loved taking photos with the dinosaur figures. I was thrilled to see the set of my favorite show, Five-O.

The jungle experience tour only had an English-speaking guide, but they explained things clearly, so I understood somewhat. They also spoke a bit of Japanese here and there.

On the boat tour, we were able to see the mountain range from the water, and when we went out to sea, the waves were strong, making the boat rise and fall like a theme park attraction, which was fun.

I was really glad they provided motion sickness medication, as all the rides had quite a bit of shaking, which was a big help.

I booked at the last minute, so this was the only tour available, but I would like to participate in horseback riding next time. It seemed that people in the horseback riding group were buying a locker key for $5 to store their belongings. It looks like it's better to go light.

生憎の天気だったのですが、3つのコース全て満足しました。

特に映画ロケ地ツアーのコースはガイドさんの話が楽しく、恐竜の人形とともに写真を撮ってくれたのがよかったです。
大好きなFive-Oのセットも見れて、感激です。

ジャングル体験のツアーは、英語ガイドさんのみでしたが、わかりやすく話してくれたので、
なんとなくはわかりました。
ところどころ日本語も話してくれました。

ボートのツアーは、水上からあの山並みを見ることができ、
沖に出ると波がきつくて、船が上下するのも遊園地のアトラクションのごとく楽しめました。

あると良いもので酔い止めの薬を書いておいてくださって本当によかったです。
どれもこれも結構な揺れを伴う乗り物だったので、助かりました。

間際に予約したのでこのツアーしか空きがなく、
今度は乗馬に参加したいです。
乗馬組の人は、荷物を預けるロッカーのキーを5ドルで買っているようでした。
身軽で行くのがいいようです。

I love it will recommend it to all my friends and family

I arrived first thinking I would get a good seat and waited in line for an hour, yet I was the last to get my meal, which is unbelievable!!! If you're going to serve meals in order of the tables, shouldn't you let the tables that arrived early go first? I had high expectations thinking it was Hilton, but I never want to go back again! I wanted to stay at Hilton too, but that's enough!!

良い席をと思い一番に行き、1時間も並んだにも関わらず、食事にありつけたのが一番最後とは有り得ない!!!(￣ヘ￣メ)（｀Δ´）テーブルの順番に食事を取りに行くんだったら、早く来たテーブルの順番に食事を取りに行かすべきではないでしょうか？ヒルトンだと思ってとても期待していたのに、もう二度といきたくありません！ヒルトンも泊まりたかったけど、もういいです!!

Great Boat Great music great views lots of sea turtles ......what more could you ask for
