All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We were a couple with Japanese people, and it was an easy-to-understand, enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful time with some Japanese mixed in. We even got nicknames, which made it fun to participate. I also received magic goods as a souvenir, for which I am grateful.

日本人は、我々の夫婦一組でしたが 日本語を交えてわかりやすく、楽しく、参加型で有意義なひとときでした。
あだ名もつけてもらい、面白く参加出来ました。
お土産で、マジックグッズも頂き　感謝です。

The crew was so kind and professional. We had an amazing time snorkeling and seeing the fish/turtles! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Whenever I'm planning to join a tour, I always wonder if it'll be fun for the kids too. Even though it's a bit pricier, choosing the Friday luau in the courtyard by the lagoon was a great choice! Even if the kids got a bit bored halfway through, they could play on the grass for a bit. And the best part was it was free for kids under 4, which was super awesome! What made me even happier was the kids buffet corner, with kid-friendly foods like Tater tots, Teriyaki chicken, and meatballs etc. We made some fantastic family memories in Hawaii.

The show was a blast, featuring dances from the various Polynesian islands.
There were even a few fire dancers, which the kids absolutely loved.

We were bummed we couldn't see the final fireworks from our seats, but watching them up close from right in front of the hotel was an incredible experience. Totally satisfied!

We participated as a couple to celebrate my 60th birthday. I felt secure participating in Japanese, and the experience exceeded my expectations in terms of satisfaction. Even though I'm not good at swimming, I had a great time fish watching in the water! It was a pity that we didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles).

還暦記念に夫婦で参加しました。日本語で安心して参加できて内容も思った以上の満足度でした。
泳ぎが苦手な私も楽しく水の中でフィッシュウォッチングできました！
ホヌに出会えなかったのは残念でした。

It was a bit murky in the afternoon, but I was able to see fish clearly at certain points, and although from a distance, I also saw a turtle, so I was satisfied. I didn't use the Japanese guide because I wasn't sure when to listen to it. However, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed fully without the staff guide or the Japanese guide if you love the ocean and fish.

午後からの出向で少し濁っていましたが、ポイントポイントではしっかりと魚を見ることができたし、遠目でしたが亀も見れたので満足です。
日本語ガイドは聴くタイミングがよくわからなかったので使いませんでした。
でも、海や魚が好きならスタッフのガイドも日本語ガイドも無くても十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The friendly staff makes it easy for beginners to enjoy surfing right away, so you can feel at ease. After just 10 minutes of practice, we were able to try it in the ocean! Half of us were able to stand up on the first wave! The waves were great, and we participated in both private and group lessons with five people, and everyone was satisfied!

明るいスタッフで初心者でも楽しめるサーフィンが直ぐに出来るから安心です。
10分立つ練習したら海で実践！半数は1回目の波で立つことが出来ました！
波も良くで、5人でプライベートとグループレッスンと分かれて参加しましたが、全員満足出来ました！

Last year, I had a wonderful experience with Dan and Chieko, so this year I made a reservation without hesitation, and I was able to meet them again. I am truly grateful. This year, I was also moved to meet the unexpected Honu (sea turtle). Of course, for us who can't swim much, the two of them were like sea gods, providing reassurance. I definitely want to rely on them again. Thank you very much! I highly recommend them to everyone! ✨

昨年ダンさんチエコさんに大変素敵な経験をさせて頂いたので　今年は躊躇なく予約　そしてまたお会いできました　ほんと感謝感謝そして今年はおもっても見なかったホヌちゃんにも会え感動感激　もちろん大して泳げない私たちにとりおふたりは　海神のように安心　またぜひお世話になります　ありがとうございました
皆さん超おすすめです✨

A first-time experience. My 6-year-old grandchild was very satisfied! My 70-year-old grandfather was also very satisfied! The boat staff were hospitable and full of humor! The experience of viewing Waikiki from the sky was amazing!

初めての体験。6歳の孫も大満足！70歳のジージーも大満足！ボートスタッフもホスピタリティがあり、ユーモアたっぷりでした！ワイキキを空から眺める体験は最高でした！

Everything is in English, but the instructions for filling out the agreement and how to use the lockers are clearly posted on the counter. The agreement can be accessed via a QR code on the web. I don't remember if there was Japanese, but you can manage with the translation feature in various browsers.

The instructor speaks only English, but they make an effort to communicate effectively.

During the surfing experience, the instructor will guide you on when to catch the waves, and if you trust their timing, you'll find it surprisingly easy to stand up.

Regarding the standing pose, if you pay an additional $65 on-site, there will be drone footage taken, which will be sent to you after the experience. It was a worthwhile investment for my future surfing progress and as a memorable video.

全て英語でますが、規約書記入やロッカーの預け方はカウンターの上に記載がありわかりやすです。
規約書はQRコード読み取りweb からとなります。
日本語があったか覚えてませんが、各ブラウザの翻訳でなんとかなります。
インストラクターは英語のみですが、頑張って伝えようと努力してくれます。

サーフィン体験中は、波に乗るタイミングをインストラクターの人が指示してくれるので信じて乗れば意外と簡単に立てます。

この立っている姿ですが、現地で追加65ドル払えばドローン撮影があり、体験後に送られ来ます。
今後のサーフィン成長や記念動画に価値ある支払いでした。

The boat ride to the fishing spot took nearly an hour, and we only fished for one hour, followed by another hour back, which felt unsatisfactory. We participated as a group of three, including a child, but they only provided us with two fishing rods. I wish I could get back the precious time and money spent in Hawaii.

釣り場までの船の移動で1時間近くかかり、釣りは1時間、また帰りに1時間で物足りない感じでした。
子供含め3人で参加、釣竿は2本しかくれず、
ハワイの貴重な時間と金額と返して欲しいくらい

I was prepared for only English-speaking staff, and indeed everything was in English. Additionally, there were no participants who spoke Japanese. There were some unfamiliar English terms in the explanations, but I managed to understand the atmosphere, and by following the others, I was able to get by.

The boat was really cool, and it felt very relaxed, as if we could just hang out anywhere. It was perfect for taking photos.

I have done snorkeling a few times in Japan, but the waves in Hawaii were high, making it difficult to move as I wanted, which was a bit scary. The life jacket that attaches around the waist? Having two, one under the armpits and one around the waist, helped a lot. There were staff members who made sure we didn't remove them and kept a close watch from the boat, so I felt that safety was well taken care of.

I was able to see sea turtles floating on the surface and swimming, which was great.

Since the waves were high and the boat rocked quite a bit, those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. Also, since you might get hungry or feel hot, it would be good to have some snacks and water. They do offer soda and alcohol for a fee.

英語スタッフのみとあったので覚悟して行きましたが、やはり全て英語でした。また、一緒に参加する方も日本語を話せる方はおらずという感じでした。
また説明ではあまり聞いたことのない英語もあったので、雰囲気で理解しましたが周りの方に合わせて動けば何とかなりました。
船はとってもカッコよくて、どこでもいいからゆっくりしてねという感じで自由に過ごせました。写真映えは最高です。
シュノーケリングは日本で何回かやったことがあるのですが、ハワイの海は波が高いので思ったように動けず、少し恐怖もありました。腰につけるライフジャケット？は脇下と腰に２つ付けるとなんとかなりました。外すのは絶対ダメという感じでポイントを知らせてくれる方と船の上からしっかり見ている方といらっしゃったので安全面はしっかりしているのかなという感じでした。
海亀は海面に浮いてきたり、泳ぎながらも見れたのでよかったです。
波が高く、船も結構揺れるので船酔いをする方は酔い止め絶対にいります。あと、お腹が空いたり、暑さもあるので、水分と軽食があってもいいと思います。お金を払えばソーダやお酒は提供してくれます。

The cruise and the breathtaking views from above were amazing! The weather was nice and the waves were calm, but motion sickness medication is a must! I brought my GoPro, but when I was asked if I wanted to take pictures on the boat, it cost $40, and it was worth it. During our time, 3 out of 4 groups ended up buying it! You can check the photos after getting off the boat before making your final decision. They also provide the data on an SD card and your smartphone, so not buying it would be a waste!

クルーズも空からの絶景も楽しめて最高でした！
天気もよく波も穏やかでしたが、それでも酔い止めは必須です！
GoProも持って行きましたが
船に乗って写真撮る？と聞かれ40ドルしましたが買って正解でした、私たちの時は4組中3組買ってました！
船を降りて写真を確認してから買うか最終決められます
SDカードとスマホにもデータをくれるので買わないなんてもったいない⁈

Our first time on a catamaran tour in Hawaii. We saw fish, turtles and had a fantastic time. The crew were helpful, professional and fun. Highly recommend the Moana Sailing Company!

It was my first time parasailing, and the exhilaration was incredible—it was truly the best! The guy was also handsome, and the photos he took captured some great reactions, making for some amazing memories!

初のパラセーリングでしたが、爽快感半端なくほんまに最高でした！お兄さんもカッコよくて、撮って頂いた写真もいいリアクションのところを撮って下さっていて、すごい思い出のショットとなりました！

This was wonderful. Lola our drivrt was friendly and informative. Po8nted out all sorts of sites.
The Arizona Memorial was everything I expected.. wish i had more time for the musemu

Good guides but didn't allow us any unsupervised snorkel time. Actual time in the water was about 1 hour and got us back to Waikiki much earlier than we needed.

From inside the submarine, you can see dolphins and other marine life. I thought it would be similar to an aquarium, but the closeness of seeing them from inside the ship was completely different!

潜水艦の中から、イルカなど見ることもできます。
水族館と似たような感覚なのかなと思いましたが、船の中から見る近さなど、まったく違うものでした！

The long-awaited snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was amazing! Although it was rainy in the early morning, by the time we arrived at the site, the rain had stopped, and the sky gradually brightened. By the second half of the snorkeling, we were greeted with beautiful blue skies!

Light was shining through the water, and I was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish of all sizes! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any turtles, but I was surprised to see a large seal lounging on the beach! I thought it was wonderful that both the fish and the seals were completely unafraid of people. This must be due to the strong spirit of animal protection among the people of Hawaii!

The two guides were also very kind, which made for a reassuring experience. Thank you!

念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケルが出来て最高でした❗️早朝は雨模様だったのですが、現場に到着する頃には雨もやみ、だんだん明るい空になってきて、シュノーケルの後半には綺麗な青空が‼️
水の中にも光がさしてきて、色とりどりの、大小さまざまな魚がたくさん見れて大満足でした！
亀は残念ながら探し出せませんでしたが、大きなアザラシがビーチの上にドーンと寝転んでいたのにはびっくり‼️魚もそうですが、アザラシも全く人を警戒していないのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。
日頃からハワイの方々の動物愛護の精神が徹底されているからこそでしょう！
ガイドのお二人もとても親切で安心して過ごすことが出来ました！ありがとうございました。

My family was picked up just a few feet from our hotel on time and patiently waiting our arrival. The driver/tour guide, "BK", was warm, informative, eloquent, hospitable and passionate about Hawaii. The knowledge he shared was done in a professional and relatable manner. We could have spent days listening to him. He was that good! Notably "BK" was born in Hawaii, a Marine veteran and could speak personally on military and personal experiences.
The tour albeit brief, was worth the price hands down. Take the tour. Learn some valuable knowledge on WW2, Pearl harbor, Hawaii and the wonderful first citizens of this state.

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

I participated on Tuesday, and I had heard it was the most beautiful day, but the waves were high and the water was murky. There's nothing that can be done about luck, so it's unfortunate.

火曜日の参加だったので、一番きれいだと聞いていましたが、波が立っていて海中が濁ってしまいました。
こればっかりは運なので仕方ないですが残念でした。

I was worried due to the strong winds and the sudden reservation the day before, but everything went smoothly. We ended up fishing in shallow waters, but it was still quite enjoyable. During the trip, we were greeted by a pod of dolphins. The rental equipment was reasonably maintained, but there might be some inconsistencies. The captain spoke a little Japanese, so there were no issues. There was a delay in gathering participants, which caused us to set sail later, but well, it's Hawaii time...

連日の強風と、前日の急な予約で心配しましたが無事に遂行
状況に合わせた浅場での釣りになりましたが、それなりに楽しく遊べました
移動中はイルカ群れのお迎えもありました
貸し出し道具はそこそこの手入れで、あたりはずれがありそう
キャプテンは多少日本語も話せるので問題無し
参加者の集合遅れなどがあり出航が遅くなったが、まぁHawaiiTimeなので、、、

On the first day in Hawaii (May), I participated from 5 PM.

I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I joined.

I forgot my towel and was a bit anxious, but I was helped by being able to put it down on the boat when I got off the parasailing.

Most of the participants fell into the sea and got completely soaked, so it's better to bring a towel if you can.

I think it would be great if there were a towel rental service, either free or for a fee, and also a service providing motion sickness medication, as about 2 out of 10 participants were feeling sick from the boat ride.

ハワイきて初日（５月）に、17時〜で参加しました。

楽しくて参加してよかったです。

タオル忘れて行ってひやひやしましたが、パラセーリングから降りる時に、ボート上におろしてもらえたから助かりました。

参加者のほとんどが海に落とされてビショビショに濡れる方もいたので、タオルはできれば持って行った方がいいです。

無料か有料でタオル貸し出しサービスや船酔いで吐いてる人も参加者約10人中2人くらいいたので酔い止め提供のサービスがあれば、尚いいと思いました。

As others have mentioned, the boat arrived more than 10 minutes late for check-in. Even with non-English speakers present, there was no effort to speak slowly or accommodate them; all explanations were given in English.

We did get to see sea turtles, but it seemed like there weren't many that day, as we only encountered a couple of them coming up to the surface a few times.

他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。
そして英語圏ではない人が居ても、ゆっくり話すなど気を使うこともなく、全て英語での説明でした。

海亀は会えましたが、その日はあまり居なかったのか海面に上がってくる子に2、3回会えた感じでした。

I attended with my 7-year-old child. I was prepared for basic English, but thanks to Shoot's consideration, the magic show included some Japanese, allowing both my child and wife to understand and enjoy it very much. It was a type of magic that you don't often see in Japan, and it helped me rediscover its fun! If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

7歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
基本英語を覚悟してましたが、shootさんの心遣いで日本語も交えたマジックショーで子供も奥さんも理解しながら大変楽しく参加させて頂きました。
日本ではなかなか見ないマジックでしたが、改めてその楽しさを再発見させてもらいました！
また機会があれば是非参加させてもらいます。

We had no trouble even with our limited English skills. We rented an umbrella as an option, but it was difficult to set up due to the strong wind. When we rented on-site, the staff helped us set it up properly. The water at Hanauma Bay was definitely clearer and more beautiful than in Waikiki. Our child was very happy to see many different types of fish.

英語力のない私達でも不自由はありませんでした。オプションでパラソルを借りましたが、風が強く設置が大変でした。現地で借りるとスタッフがしっかりと設置してくれていました。ハナウマの海はワイキキより断然透明で美しかったです。子供はたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ、とても喜んでいました。

There is a reception area at the entrance of Aloha Port Harbor. It's number 61.

There was staff who could speak a little Japanese. The local people teach the basic fishing techniques in English.

We used squid as bait and dropped weights to the seabed to fish. If there were no bites, the captain would move the boat to find a new spot.

I had three incredibly strong bites, but they got away. I'm not sure what kind of fish they were.

It seems that any fish caught are generally released. They didn't cook them on the spot, but they could tell us the types and names of the fish.

The children who love fishing were having a great time.

The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is essential. The sun is also strong, so sunscreen is a must.

It was refreshing to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle.

アラワイポートハーバの入り口に受付場所があります。61番です。

日本語を、わずかに話せるスタッフがいました。
基本的な釣りの手技は現地の人が英語で教えてくれます。

イカを餌にオモリを海底まで垂らして釣るというものでした。当たりがないと船長さんが船を移動させてスポットを探してくれます。

とてつもなく引きの強いアタリが、3度ほどありましたが逃げられてしまいました。何の魚だったのかは不明です。

釣れた魚は基本的にリリースするようです。その場で調理することはありませんでした。しかし魚の種類や名前は教えてもらえます。

釣り好きの子供達は楽しんでおりました。


船はかなり揺れますので酔い止めは、必須です。
日差しも強あので日焼け止めも必須です。

いつもと違う角度からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見られるのでその点も新鮮でした。

Highly recommend for anyone a great family activity!

I was thrilled to see sea turtles. It's a rare experience, and if you go to Hawaii, it's definitely something you should do. I was satisfied with the many photos and videos I was able to take.

ウミガメが見れて感激。
なかなか出来ない体験でハワイへ行ったらぜひ行って欲しい体験です。
沢山写真に動画も撮れて満足でした。

Awsome experience with experienced guides.
Swam close to turtles en enjoyed sailing up and down the bay while sipping champagne.
