All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.

My husband experienced it for the first time in 20 years, and it was my first experience, but the staff taught us various things in advance, so we felt safe entering the sea. We had a lesson with three people, including someone from Europe, and they helped us compare the waves so that everyone could ride equally. It was exciting to ride the waves and I was thrilled. I definitely want to participate again.

主人は20年ぶり、私は初体験でしたが、スタッフの方が事前にいろいろ教えてくれ安心して海に入れました。
欧人の方と3人のレッスンでしたが、どの人にもまんべんなく乗れるよう波を見比べてくれ、楽しく波に乗ることができ感激でした。
また、是非参加したいです。

This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.

今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした！！
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。

ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。

I participated in the 9 o'clock session with a friend. It was quite empty, so we were able to sit comfortably inside the submarine. We saw sea turtles multiple times, and it was interesting to experience the blue world. The diving time was longer than I expected, lasting about an hour. However, the noise from the motor at the back of the submarine was terrible, and I could hardly hear the explanations, which was disappointing. I recommend sitting at the front in the direction of travel.

友達と2名で、9時スタートの回に参加しました。
結構空いていたので、潜水艦内はゆったりと座れました。
海ガメも何度も見れたし、ブルーの世界を体験できて面白かったです。潜水時間も思ったより長く、1時間くらいありました。ただ艦内後ろ側のモータ？音がひどくて説明がほとんど聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。進行方向の前側に座るのがお勧めです。

WE had a great time we all enjoed our selves it is good for famlies as well as older people

It was awesome. It was our first time and the staff was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the activity. They both were very friendly, took pictures, and answered questions. We would recommend this to everyone. You have a beautiful view from up there. Was a little scary at first, then you relax and enjoy the view of beach and Diamond Head. Would do it again

I had my first experience at the age of sixty. I was a bit anxious before getting on the boat, but once we started, I forgot all about it. This time, I participated with my wife. Since we were in Waikiki, we had a great view of Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu. The instructions were in English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky were amazing, and without the sound of the wind, I truly felt like a bird. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance.

Lastly, I was a bit flustered when a foreigner prepared a tip, but I think it would be good if that was clearly stated. I went this time for my son's wedding, and I was able to have a wonderful experience.

初めての体験を、還暦にしました。ボートに乗る前はやや不安でしたが、スタートしたら忘れてしまいました。今回はワイフと参加しました。ワイキキですので、ダイアモンドヘッドやホノルルの町が一望。説明は英語でしたが、片言の日本語でも話してくれたので安心でした。海の青さと空の青さが素晴らしく、風の音も無く本当に鳥に成った気分でした。機会が有れば何度でも体験してみたいです。
最後に、外国人がチップを用意したので慌てましたが、明記して頂けたら良いと思いました。今回は息子の結婚式で行きましたが、素晴らしい体験をする事が出来ました。

We participated as a group of three women. One of us was a complete beginner, while the other two had only tried it a few times. However, it was our first time surfing in Hawaii... The price was affordable, we wanted to learn from locals, and transportation was included!

While the instructions were in English, I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. (There were also people who could speak Japanese.)

In any case, I highly recommend it! The instructors are kind and will definitely help beginners stand up on the board. However, if you prefer a slower pace and more thorough instruction, it might be better to avoid group sessions.

女子３人で参加しましたぁ。
一人はまったくの初心者で、あと２人は数回やった事があるぐらいです。でも、HAWAIIでサーフィンするのは初めてなので･･･。価格も安いし、地元の人に教えてもらいたいし、送迎もついてたので！
教えてもらっている時は英語でしたケド英語が分からない人でも大丈夫だと思いますよー。
（日本語が話せる方もいたので。）

とにかくオススメです！
優しく教えてくれるし、初めての人でも絶対に立てます。
ただ、もっとゆっくりと、しっかり教えて欲しい方などは、グループ参加じゃナイ方が良いかもしれませんね。

I went parasailing for the first time in Hawaii, and it was fantastic.

I chose the standard plan, and the view of Waikiki from above was great, with a very pleasant breeze.

Since you'll be in the sun, it might be better to go early in the morning or in the evening.

The staff was very accommodating, and I had a great time.

初めてのハワイで初めてパラセイリングをしましたが、
非常に良かったです。

スタンダードプランでしたが、うえから見るワイキキの
景色もよく、風が非常に心地よかったです。

日差しを受けるので、朝早くか夕方が良いかも知れません。

スタッフの対応もよく楽しめました。

It's a waste not to go surfing when you're in Hawaii! I decided to give it a try. As a result, even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on my first wave. The staff takes great care to ensure that everyone can stand up and ride the waves.

However, I noticed that two young Japanese girls were being hit on by the staff. I recommend this experience for those who don't mind that sort of thing and can enjoy it as part of the fun. If you participate as a couple, you probably won't have to worry about such things.

It seems that the staff can speak basic Japanese. Even those who are worried about their English can enjoy themselves without any concerns. The price is likely high because it's aimed at Japanese tourists. Well, you can enjoy it at a reasonable price for what you get.

　せっかくハワイに行くのにサーフィンをしないなんて勿体ない！と思って利用しました。結果、初心者でも初めての波で立てました。必ず立って波に乗れるように、スタッフが至れり尽くせりの世話をしてくれます。

　が、若い日本人の女の子（２人連れでした）はスタッフにナンパされていました。そういうことを気にしない人、それも含めて楽しめる人に勧めです。カップルで参加すれば、そういった心配もないでしょう。

　スタッフは簡単な日本語ならみんなできるようです。英語が心配な人でも安心してたのしめます。値段が高いのは日本人向けだからでしょう。まあ、お値段なりに、お手軽に楽しめます。

Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.

I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.

The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.

ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。

開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。

It was interesting to see the submarine rise to the surface. Also, it was a great experience since you don't often get to see underwater. I was able to see a sea turtle too. It was a good experience.

潜水艦が浮かび上がってくるところがまず面白かった。
また、それ以外にも、海の中をみることってあまりない経験なのでよかったです。
海がめもみることができたし。いい経験です。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon this time.
At my husband's request, we booked Atlantis.
On the day of the trip, it was clear and sunny, and we took a blue shuttle bus to the beach in the Ala Moana area where there was a pier.
We started at 10 AM, and there were many Japanese people.
The staff were also Japanese, and their explanations were easy to understand.
After boarding the boat, it took about ten minutes to reach the location of the submarine.
The sea sparkled, and we had a great view of Diamond Head!
When we boarded the submarine, it was almost full inside.
The one-hour underwater exploration was mystical, and the 10 AM tour included explanations in Japanese, making it easy to understand the names of tropical fish and the sunken ships in the sea.
We were also able to see sea turtles!
The round trip on the boat made me a little seasick, but it became a wonderful memory.

今回ハネムーンでハワイに行きました。
旦那さんの希望で、アトランティスを予約しました。
当日は快晴で、青い送迎バスにてアラモアナ方面のビーチへいくと桟橋がありました。
私たちは１０時開始でしたが、日本人の方が多かったです。
スタッフの方も日本人で説明も分かり易かったです。
船に乗り込み潜水艦がある場所まで役１０分。
海がきらきらとして、ダイヤモンドヘンドもばっちり望めました！
いざ潜水艦へ乗り込むと艦内はほぼ満席でした。
１時間の海底探検は神秘的でした、１０時の回は日本語での説明つきで熱帯魚の名前や海の沈んでいる船等の解説は分かりやすかったです。
海がめも見ることができました！
往復の船はちょっぴり船酔い気味でしたが、とてもいい思い出になりました。

This was the first time every for either one of us to go parasailing. What a great time. The staff was very helpful and made sure that we all felt safe before we went up. We only went up 700 feet next time (and yes there will be a next time) we will go up higher. Once you are in the air you get a birds eye view of Wakiki beach. Don't worry about bringing your camera up with you because the staff will take about 15 or so pictures of you while in the air for a small fee. We also like the fact that you get lifted from the boat itself and not being pulled from the beach. The staff also keeps any eye on you while you are in the air to be sure that you are safe at all times.

It was interesting to experience the sirens during the dive on the submarine for the first time. There weren't many fish while submerged, but there were a lot of fish around some sunken ships we encountered. The water was a beautiful marine blue.

初めての潜水艦で、潜水時のサイレンなど面白かった。
潜航時はあまり魚はいなかったけど、時々ある沈没船などには多くの魚がいました。
水がマリンブルーでとても綺麗でした。

Very friendly staff. Had a great time...very entertaining and views were amazing. Definately recommend this as a perfect way to see Waikiki from a different angle.

We didn't see many fish, but the submarine was unusual, so the children were very happy.

魚はあまり見れませんでしたが潜水艦はめずらしいので子供たちは大喜びでした。

I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.

会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか？食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか？まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。

The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.

料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!

I highly recommend this activity for everyone! Would and WILL do this again!!!

the parasailing itself wasnt bad but the staff needs alot of work,..particularly the driver of the shuttle..he was extremely rude and while the parasailing/ boat crew wasnt exactly the most pleasent or talkative they knew what they were doing and they were professional.

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.

Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.

We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.

I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.

今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール３ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

It feels really nice. There were four groups of guests on one boat. From the time we were picked up by the tour bus until we were taken back to the hotel, there wasn't much waiting time, and we enjoyed cruising while waiting for our turn on the motorboat.

すごく気持ちいいです。１つのボートに４組の客でした。ツアーバスでピックアップしてもらってからホテルに送ってもらうまで、さほど待ち時間もなく、モーターボートに乗って順番待ちをしている間もクルージングとして楽しめました。

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.

Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.

P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.

前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
　しかし、５００名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
　声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし（特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動！おかわりしちゃいました♪）ドリンク（ビールorソフトドリンク）も２杯飲めるし。
　ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
　もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
　予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。
　追記：室内だからファイヤーダンスはありませんでした。

the crew was AWSOME. In fact, the whole day prior to going up my wife was trying to pay me what i paid to no do the event because she was so scared and we even had to go first! I told her to suck it up and it ended up being her favorite event, and we went for the highest one at 500 feet! They guys were careful and kind to help her through it. The ride was beautiful in the air and on the boat! Ignore the reviews that say the guys hastle you for tips and there isn't $20 dollar bills all over the boat. There is some on a pole near the front, maybe 6, and the guys say if you enjoyed the ride tips are welcomed. So if all that makes you feel pressured, then stop whining and enjoy the ride or don't go at all!

have fun!

Very fun, and a great staff. I would highly recommend this to all visitors... :)

My daughter and her best friend were given a trip to Hawaii as a graduation gift. They went parasailing while there. They had a great time doing it. As a way to remember this once in a lifetime experience, I paid for the 24 exposure roll of pictures to be taken. When they returned home, the roll of film was brought to be processed. We were disappointed when none of the pictures came out. The negatives showed only two partial pictures, neither of which were the girls.

Was such a nice experience. When you are so far up in the air it seems so quiet and peaceful. Hawaii offers a great view. The crew rocked! Booking through Hawaii Activities was VERY easy and made check-in much faster!!
