All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

The weather and scenery were great, and it was a fun experience. If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up again because it was so enjoyable.

It does sway quite a bit while moving. It felt like I might get seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness should take some medication in advance.

I also requested the photo shoot for an additional $40. They were able to transfer the data directly to my iPhone.

天気＆景色も良く楽しい体験でした。
次回ハワイに行けたら、また申し込みしたいくらい楽しかったです。

移動する時に結構揺れます。船酔いしそうな感じだったので、酔いそうな人は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。

追加料金40ドルの写真撮影もお願いしました。
iPhoneに直接データ転送してもらえました。

It was my first time in Hawaii. I participated with my family of five, and although we couldn't speak English, our cheerful guide kept us entertained until the end. It was an amazing time. However, three of us couldn't speak in the second half due to motion sickness. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

初めてのハワイでした。家族五人で参加したのですが、英語話せませんが、陽気なガイドさんで最後まだずっと楽しませて下さりました。
最高な時間でした。
ただ、乗り物酔いで三名が後半は話せませんでした。酔い止めはおすすめします。

I participated in a group lesson starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived. First, we received an explanation and safety briefing through a video in English indoors. After that, we walked to the beach in front of the Honolulu Zoo, where the instructor provided guidance on land before we entered the water. However, since the instructor's explanations were also in English, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English at all.

Other participants were also from Canada and the mainland, so I was able to experience a bit of a study abroad atmosphere through English communication. The waves were not too big, making them just right for beginners. With the instructor's help while riding, everyone was able to stand up and ride the waves.

Since being able to swim was a prerequisite, it was a bit tough to paddle back and forth to the spot to catch the waves, but thanks to that, I was able to sleep soundly from the first day and managed to avoid jet lag afterward.

到着した日の午後からグループレッスンに参加しました。
まず室内にて英語による動画で説明、注意点の講習を受けた後にホノルル動物園前のビーチに徒歩で移動、そこでインストラクターから海に入る前に陸上で指導して頂きますがインストラクターの方の説明も英語なので、英語が全く分からないと少しキツいかもしれません。
他の参加者もカナダや本土から来ていた方で、英語によるコミュニケーションなので少しプチ留学の気分を味わう事ができました。
波はそれほど大きくなく初心者にはちょうど良い強さでインストラクターの方にライドする際に押してもらえば参加者の全員が立って波に乗る事ができました。
泳げる事が前提なので自分自身で波に乗る場所までパドリングで往復する必要があるため少し大変でしたが、おかげで初日からぐっすり眠れその後時差ボケせずに過ごすことができました。

First, I was taught how to stand on the beach, and since we were facing the ocean, even beginners were able to ride the waves! There were multiple instructors watching over us, so I felt safe while having fun!

はじめに浜で立ち方を教えてもらって、海に向かうので、初心者でも波にのる事ができました！先生も複数人いて、全体を見てて貰えるので安心して遊ぶ事が出来ます！

We were so lucky to been taken out just before the weather went bad, these guys knew what was safe and made sure we got a go but weren’t at any risk with bad weather. The boat ride was so fun and an adventure across the water in itself! My kids flew and had a ball. We then got the photos and they were amazing! 120 shots all transferred to our phones. All the staff were friendly and relaxed.

I was able to make a reservation without any issues even at the last minute. It was a bit scary, but I made great memories in Hawaii. All the staff spoke English, but I was able to understand them somehow, which was good.

直前でも問題なく予約ができました。
少し怖かったですが、ハワイのいい思い出ができました。
スタッフ方は全員英語でしたが、なんとなく理解ができよかったです。

The tour meets at a local spot, and it's easy to find since it's next to the Hilton Lagoon. We were taken out to sea by cheerful staff members. There were three groups of Japanese guests at the same time, so while others were flying, we waited on the boat, but it can sway with the waves, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

We wore life vests and safety gear, which the staff helped us with. They asked if we wanted photos before flying. After getting off the boat, they transferred the photos they took to our smartphones and also provided an SD card on the spot for $40 per group. We decided to purchase it.

The view of Waikiki Beach from the sky was wonderful. It was a clear day, perfect for parasailing. The wind was strong, so it swayed more as we gained altitude. Flying in Hawaii was amazing! The flight time went by in an instant. I felt like a kite, and I had a lot of fun!

現地集合のツアーですが、場所もヒルトンラグーンの横なので、わかりやすいです。陽気なスタッフのお兄さん達に連れられて沖の方まで移動。
同じ時間の予約が、日本人3組だったので、他の人が飛んでる間はボートで待ちますが、波で揺れるので、酔いやすい人は要注意かも。
ライフベスト着用して安全装備を装着。スタッフさんが全てやってくれます。飛ぶ前に写真が必要かどうか聞かれます。スタッフさんが撮ってくれたデータを船から降りた後スマホに転送し、SDカードもその場でくれて、1グループ40ドル。うちは購入しました。
空から見たワイキキビーチは、とても素敵でした。快晴でパラセイル日和。風は強いので、高度が上がるほど揺れます。
ハワイで飛べたのは最高！あっと言う間の飛行時間。自分が凧になった気分で、とても楽しめました♪

I took a taxi to Hilton Hawaiian Village, which was fine, but I was nervous because I didn't know where the meeting place was...

I think it would be reassuring to have prior information like, "After passing through the hotel entrance, there will be a boat docked towards the beach."

On the 10:00 trip, even at a depth of 30 meters, it was bright, and I could see many fish, which was a lot of fun! I was hoping to see a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, that didn't happen... Since my elderly mother was with me, we didn't do any marine activities, but it was great to be able to explore underwater in a submarine, which is something you can't easily experience in Japan.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでタクシーで向かったのはいいのですが…
集合場所がわからずドキドキしました。。

「ホテルの入り口を抜けて、ビーチに向かった所に船が停まっている」
などの事前案内があったら安心だと思う。

10:00の便で、海底30mでも明るく
たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかった♪
ホヌに会えるのを願ってましたが…叶わず。。
高齢の母も一緒だったので、マリンアクティビティは一切なかったので、日本ではなかなか体験できない潜水艦で、水中散策ができたのでよかったです。

This tour is conducted in English, but even if your English isn't very good, they kindly assist you using translation software. When purchasing tickets or entering, the driver had informed us in advance that we should buy tickets together with the foreign guests who joined us as part of the same group, which made things really easy. Above all, it's a great value! Compared to Japanese-speaking shuttle tours, it's truly reasonable. There was plenty of time to enjoy, so we were able to relax on the beach until it was time for pickup!

こちらのツアーは、英語での案内になりますが、
英語がそんなにできなくても、翻訳ソフトなどを使って、親切に教えてくれます。実際にチケットを購入したり、入場する際も、相乗りしてきた外国人の方に同一グループとして一緒に購入してあげて欲しいと、あらかじめドライバーさんから申し伝わっているので、本当に楽でした。何よりも、コスパがいい！日本語対応の送迎ツアーと比べて本当にリーズナブル。滞在時間もたっぷりあるので、お迎えまでビーチでゆっくりできました！

I'm already addicted!
When you come to Waikiki, you must try it!
For those who haven't experienced it yet or those who came without a plan, please give it a try. I'm sure it will become an unforgettable memory.

I will definitely fly again next time! It's the best!

もう病みつきです！
ワイキキに来たら、必ず飛びます☆
未体験の方、ノープランでいらしたかたも、是非体験してみてください。きっと忘れることの出来ない思い出になると思います。

私は次も必ず飛ぶでしょう☆
最高です☆

Parasailing with my 83-year-old mother was amazing. We got to see Diamond Head and the city skyline from high up in the sky, which was fantastic. The final splash left us quite soaked, and water splashed on our faces, but it was incredibly fun!

83歳の母を連れてのパラセーリング
かなり高く、ダイヤモンドヘッドやビル群を空から見れて最高でした
最後のザブンはかなりびしょびしょに濡れて、顔にも水がかかりましたが、最高に楽しかったです！

This tour includes a sandwich lunch at Tantalus after visiting Manoa Falls. I signed up mainly for the Manoa Falls hike, but the lunch sandwiches and the view from Tantalus were just as great! The guide also took a lot of photos for us, thank you.

For those participating, my advice is that there are many mosquitoes in Manoa, so I recommend bringing insect repellent and, if possible, wearing long sleeves and long pants. Also, since it's a rainy area, the ground can be slippery. Having non-slip shoes would be reassuring.

こちらのツアーはマノアの滝の後に、タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチランチがついていて、マノアの滝ハイキングメインで申し込みましたが、同じくらいランチのサンドイッチとタンタラスの丘からの景色がとてもよかったです！
ガイドさんもたくさん写真をとってくれたり、ありがとうございました。
参加される方へのアドバイスは、マノアは蚊が多いので、虫よけの持参、できれば長袖、長ズボンをおすすめします。あと、雨が多い地域なので地面が滑ります。滑りにくい靴があると安心です。

One of the most exciting moments during my stay in Waikiki. This is a must do activity but depends if you are scared of heights and other health factors since everyone is different. I will be doing this again and made a reservation just now again during my stay at Waikiki. It is about a 6-8 minute up in the air while the camera man takes pictures of you and you buy the pictures as additional but you regret if you don't buy it. The pictures are well taken and the most fun part is when you come down; you get dropped into the water (this is optional too) but it is part of the experience in which almost everyone did. I cannot wait to be parasailing in about a month. Will be the best way to end the year right!

One of the finest place to learn the history about Pearl Harbor. Just no words: beautiful memorial and harbor. Bought the tickets in advance and the process was quick and easy to access. Had a great time so will be visiting it again shortly.

Our tour included four groups with a total of ten people. Since two people go parasailing at a time, we had five sessions of ten minutes each. Including the time for putting on and taking off the gear, the total activity lasted just over an hour. The instructions were all in English, but they also used gestures, so I was able to participate without any anxiety.
During parasailing, it was refreshing! I felt like a bird. We flew quite high, allowing us to see all of Waikiki, which was a wonderful experience.
While the ride itself was great, during takeoff and landing for parasailing, we stopped and floated, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication in advance.
At the end of the parasailing, there was a surprise where we dipped into the sea up to our waists, so I recommend wearing a swimsuit!

私達を含め4組10名でのツアーでした。2名づつパラセーリングをするので、5回✖️10分。装具の付け外しなど含めトータル1時間少しのアクティビティでした。説明は全て英語でしたがジェスチャーも交えてくださり不安なく参加できました。
パラセーリング中は爽快！鳥になった気分です。かなり高く飛ぶのでワイキキを一望出来とても素晴らしい体験でした。
滑走中は良いのですがパラセーリングの離発着時は停止しぷかぷかと浮いた状態なので船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いと思います。
パラセーリングの終盤ではチャプンと腰くらいまで海に浸かるサプライズ付きなので水着着用をオススメします！

The weather was favorable, and we had a great experience. There were five groups on the same boat, but aside from the actual parasailing, we had to wait on the boat, which caused some people to feel seasick, so I felt that motion sickness medication was essential. Fortunately, my husband and I had taken medication in advance, so we were able to enjoy the views of Waikiki while waiting on the boat. We also bought many photos during the parasailing, which became wonderful memories.

天候にも恵まれ、よい体験ができました。　5組が同じボートでしたが、パラセール本番以外は、ボートで待機のため、船酔いをされる方もあり、酔い止めは必須と感じました。幸い、我々（夫婦）は事前に薬を服用したこともあり、ボートで待機中もワイキキの風景を楽しめました。パラセール中の写真もたくさん購入でき、良い思い出となりました。

The weather was fantastic, and I floated high up into the sky. It felt like I was riding on a swing as I ascended. I didn't feel any seasickness and had a great time. My son said to me, "It's impressive that you decided to do something like this at your age." But with parasailing, it seems like it's something I could do even as I get older.

天気もサイコーでフワフワと空高くまで上がりました。
ただブランコに乗っているような感じで上がっていきました。
船酔いする事もなく、楽しく体験できました。
息子には「いい年してよくこんな体験する気になったね。」と言われてしまいました。
でも、パラセーリングなら、歳をとっても出来そうです。

We thoroughly enjoyed the show! Would have loved more.

I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.

The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.

半日かけたツアーに参加しないとウミガメには会えないかなと思っていたのですが、ワイキキ界隈で2、3時間程度で催行してくれるツアーでとても良かったです。

インストラクターの方が、ウミガメいる場所を随時教えてくれながらのシュノーケリングだった為、ついていけば会える！が叶えられました。何匹ものウミガメと、一緒に泳げたのがとても嬉しかったです。またハワイに行ったらお願いしようと思います。

It was my first time parasailing! The location was clearly indicated with instructions on how to input it into Google Maps, so I was able to get there without getting lost!

As soon as we set off, they asked if I wanted to take pictures and took some for me, but I was a bit nervous because there was no prior information about the cost of purchasing the photos. (It was $40 for sharing to my smartphone and receiving an SD card.) I wish they had informed us about this beforehand.

That said, the experience itself was amazing! When I participated, there were four groups (a total of eight people), and each flight lasted about five minutes, which was very satisfying! After returning, we high-fived each other and took photos together, and later shared them via AirDrop. It was a wonderful encounter when we happened to meet again at a restaurant that night and chatted a bit!

Taking motion sickness medication is a must! While the other three groups were flying, we had to wait on the boat, which rocked quite a bit, so it made me feel nauseous... I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit sick.

初めてのパラセーリングでした！
場所はGoogleマップの時はこれで入力してね。と丁寧に記載があったので迷わず行けました！
出発してすぐに、写真撮る？と声を掛けて頂き写真を撮って頂きましたが事前の説明で写真の購入にいくらかかるのか？がなかったため少しドキドキしていましたw（40ドルでスマホへの共有とSDカードを頂きました）
この辺の説明も事前に知らせて頂けたらなと思いました。
とはいえ体験自体は最高でした！
私が参加した時は4組（合計8名）で一組の飛行時間は5分程でしたが大満足でした！
他の参加者の方とも戻ってきたらハイタッチしたりお互いに写真を撮りあって終わったあとにAirDropで送りあったり、その日の夜にたまたま飲食店で再会し少しお話できたり素敵な出会にもなりました！

酔い止めは必須です！
他3組が飛んでいる間は船で待機なのですが結構揺れるので酔います…
酔い止めを飲んで行ったのですが、それでも気持ち悪くなりました…

I was able to see the stunning views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above in the best weather!! I definitely want to go again!!

ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景を上空から最高の天気の中で観れました!! また絶対に行きたいな!!

The tour guide was kind, and even though I forgot my insect repellent spray, they lent me one. The path wasn't as muddy as I thought, so my shoes didn't get too dirty. We were also blessed with good weather. The lunch at Tantalus Lookout, along with the scenery and breeze, was perfect.

ツアーガイドさんも親切、虫よけスプレー忘れていきましたが、貸してくれました。思ったほど道はぬかるみなどなく、そこまで靴も汚れませんでした。お天気にも恵まれました。タンタラスの丘での昼食、景色　風、申し分なかったです。

It was a bit cramped, but there wasn't any shaking, and there were lots of cute fish at the artificial reef, making for a very meaningful time. However, I probably wouldn't go on it a second time. The boat to the submarine was nice too! I definitely recommend it.

ちょっと狭いけど特に揺れたりすることもなく人工魚礁に可愛い魚が一杯でとても有意義な時間でした。
でも二回乗ることはないかな
潜水艦までの船も良かったね～
けっこうお勧めてすよ

I used Uber to get to the meeting place, but I ended up at a different port. I couldn't get through on the phone and thought it was hopeless, but I really wanted to go parasailing, so I went to the meeting place with a glimmer of hope. In the end, I was able to reschedule, and I am very grateful! The staff were very kind and it was a lot of fun, making for great memories.

If you're driving, be aware that there are several spots (ports) for parasailing, and in the morning, traffic can double the travel time, so caution is needed. I recommend doing it as you can enjoy a panoramic view of Hawaii.

集合場所までUberを使用したところ違う港に着いてしまい、電話も繋がらずもう駄目だろうなと思いながらもどうしてもパラセーリングしたかったので僅かな希望をもち集合場所に行きました。
結果リスケして貰えることになり、とても感謝しています！泣
スタッフの方もとても優しくとても楽しく、いい思い出になりました。
車で行く場合はパラセーリングといったスポット(港)が数箇所あるのと、朝は渋滞で倍以上時間がかかるので注意が必要です。
ハワイを一望出来るのでやることをお勧めします。

It's a submarine journey that you can't experience anywhere else in Japan. I was able to capture a photo of a sea turtle. I was very lucky.

日本国内では体験のできない潜水艦の旅です。
ウミガメの姿が写真に収めることができました。
とてもラッキーでした。

I made a reservation and payment for two people for parasailing on the first day of our three-day trip, arriving at 13:30.

After arriving, I changed into my swimsuit and sent my suitcase off, keeping only the essentials. However, I received an SMS at 11:20, ten minutes before the airport shuttle bus was scheduled to depart, informing me that all activities for the day were canceled due to strong winds.

After that, I had the option to either rebook or cancel for a refund, and I chose to rebook. I couldn't choose for the second day, but I successfully rebooked for the third day at 9:30. Since it wasn't due to my own circumstances, there was no change fee.

On the day of the activity, the original meeting time was 9:00, but due to a change in plans, I arrived an hour early at 8:00 by rental car. I changed and prepared at a nearby free parking lot. Although I arrived early, I was able to check in after consulting with the staff. I also confirmed the location of the free parking lot to ensure there were no issues.

We regrouped at 9:10, and by 9:20, our group of three, along with two other groups, boarded and set off. There is space to store luggage at your feet.

Once we were out at sea, parasailing began. You can take selfies and videos, but if it's your first time, you'll be battling fear while trying to operate your smartphone in a waterproof case under direct sunlight, so getting good photos and videos may depend on luck.

The staff also offers a service to take photos with a professional camera for $40, which I think is worth considering.

I won't spoil the details of the flight, but it was a very enjoyable and great experience.

As for tips, we gave $20 after returning to the port, retrieving our wallet from the trunk of the car. I’m not sure about the other two groups regarding their tips.

In conclusion, it became one of my best memories. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once!

事前に現地稼働可能な3日うち現地到着初日13:30で2名予約&決済。

現地着後にパラセイリング参加のため水着への着替えと最低限荷物保持しスーツケース発送完了し空港連絡バス発車10分前の11:20に強風で同日全てキャンセルのSMSを受信。

その後は再予約をするかキャンセル返金するかを選べる状況になり再予約を実施。2日目は選べず3日目9:30で再予約実施。自己都合では無いので変更手数料は0円でした。

当日は本来なら30分前9:00集合でしたが、予定を組み直した結果レンタカーで現地に行く事になり予定より1時間早い8:00に到着し付近の無料駐車場にて着替えなど準備実施。集合より早いが相談してチェックインもできました。無料駐車場の場所も念のため確認してもらい問題ない事も確認できました。

9:10再集合になり、9:20には他2組と自分達3組が搭乗して出港。荷物は足下に収納するスペースあります。

沖に出てパラセイリング開始となります。
自撮りで写真や動画も撮影可能ですが初めてだと上空で恐怖心と戦いながら防水ケースに入ったスマホを直射日光下で操作することになるので良い写真動画が撮れるかは運次第になると思います。

スタッフが船から40ドルで一眼カメラで写真撮影するサービスもあるので検討すると良いかと思います。

フライト内容はネタバレになるので書きませんが、とても楽しく良い経験になります。

チップは自分たちは2人で20ドルを帰港後に車のトランクにしまっておいた財布を取りに行ってから渡しました。他2組はチップ有無は不明でした。

結論、最高の思い出の一つになりました。一度はチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。おすすめします。

It became my best memory in Hawaii!!! It's a thrilling and the best activity. The flight time was just right, and both crew members were amazing. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

ハワイで1番の思い出になりました！！！スリル満点でベストアクティビティです。滞空時間なども丁度良く、クルーのお二人も皆最高です。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

There were many participants, and it felt like a dinner show. We had to wait quite a while to get our food. The Mai Tai was a bit too sweet.

参加者が多くてディナーショーの雰囲気でした。料理を取るのにもかなり待ちました。マイタイは少し甘すぎでした。

Despite my fear of heights, I took on the challenge! The view from 150 meters above was breathtaking. The meeting point was a bit hard to find, though (laughs). The hut was smaller than I expected!

高所恐怖症ながらチャレンジ！上空150メートルの眺めは絶景でした。ちょっと集合場所がわかりずらかったなあ(笑)小屋が思ったより小さい！

Our driver was very friendly, and seemed to know a lot of information on the sites we were seeing in Honolulu. Was a very good way to visit the Arizona memorial - would definitely recommend visitors to Honolulu to check out this tour.
