All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

It was an unfortunate day with light rain and cloudy skies, a bit chilly, but the sea was very calm, and the instructors were very kind, making it a fun experience! They taught us various things, including where to find sea turtles, and we were able to see them up close!

あいにくの天候で小雨に曇り少し肌寒い日でしたが、海はとても穏やかでインストラクターの方々もとても親切で楽しく過ごせましたー！
ウミガメもどこにいるかなど色々教えてくださってちゃんと近くでみれました！

After deciding to go to Hawaii, I was asked to go fishing, so I made a reservation here. Although they didn't speak Japanese, we managed to communicate since it was fishing. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all. During our trip, we didn't catch many fish overall, but my son caught three small ones and released them. Although we couldn't eat them, my son was very satisfied to be able to fish in the beautiful sea.

ハワイに行くと決まってから、釣りがしたいとお願いされ、こちらを予約しました。
日本語は通じませんが、釣りですので、何とかなりました。
心配していた船酔いも全くなかったです。
魚は参加した回は全体的にあまり釣れずでしたが、息子は小さめを3匹釣り、リリースしました。
食べることは出来ませんでしたが、息子は綺麗な海で釣りが出来、大満足でした。

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a really fun time. I also requested photos and received some great pictures. We rode on a small boat with a few other groups to go out to sea, so while others were experiencing it, we had to wait on the boat, which made the time on the boat quite long. I had heard from previous participants that there was a possibility of seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication beforehand and enjoyed it without feeling sick. I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness. Other than that, it was an incredibly fun and amazing time.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたがとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
写真もお願いしてとてもいい写真をいただきました。
何組かと合同で小さい船に乗って沖まで出るので、他の方が体験している間は船で待っていることになり、かなり船に乗っている時間が長いです。事前に参加した方から船酔いする可能性あると聞いていたので酔い止めを事前に飲んで、特に酔うこともなく楽しめました。おそらく乗り物に弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
それ以外は、とてもとても楽しく最高な時間でした。

We participated in the 11:30 session. There were seven of us in total, including the three of us and two pairs of friends who joined. It was great that we could fly as a group of three.

The weather was nice, and we enjoyed the stunning views. It was our first experience, and at first, there were parts that felt a bit scary, but as we got used to it, the height didn't bother us much.

If you pay an additional $40, you can receive dozens of photo data on an SD card (they can also transfer it on the spot if you have an iPhone). I recommend this for those who want to keep memories of themselves enjoying parasailing.

11:30の回に参加。我々３人と、二人連れ２組の計７人でボートに乗り込みました。我々は３人で飛べたのでよかったです。

天気がよかったこともあり、絶景を満喫しました。初めての体験で、最初は少し怖かった部分もありましたが、慣れてくると高さはあまり気になりません。

追加で$40を支払うと数十枚の写真データをSDカードでもらえます（iPhoneでればその場で転送もしてくれます）。パラセイリングを楽しんでいる自分たちの姿を残しておきたい方にはオススメです。

I have a slight fear of heights, but I participated. The wind was strong and it was scary, but the fun outweighed the fear. Motion sickness medication was a must.

少し高所恐怖症ですが、参加しました。
風が強くて怖かったけど楽しさのほうが勝ちました。
酔い止め必須でした。

The couple was our guide. The wife is Japanese and the husband is American, and he speaks fluent Japanese. They were incredibly kind both underwater and on land. We got to see sea turtles twice, and they took us to areas with lots of fish, which was a lot of fun.

ご夫婦でガイドさん。奥さんが日本人で旦那さんがアメリカ人で日本語がペラペラ。水中でも外でも超親切なお二人でしたよ。海ガメとは2回も会え、魚が沢山いるエリアに連れて行ってくれるのでとても楽しかったです。

Great adventure for family or friends. The crews are friendly and helpful. They assist when loading the boat and while traveling to and from the sailing area. The office lady is kind and helpful.

It was a very windy day, so it was really shaky and scary, but I had a lot of fun. The view was amazing. I'm not good with drops on roller coasters, but this one was fine for me. The boat also swayed, so motion sickness medication was essential. We were fine because we had drinks, but about four other people on the boat seemed to be struggling with motion sickness. Since it sways in the air as well, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

風が強い日だったので、すごく揺れて怖かったけど、とても楽しかったです。
景色、最高でした。
ジェットコースターなどの落ちるところが苦手ですが、これは大丈夫でした。
船も揺れるし、酔い止めは必須でした。
私たちは飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、同船していた他の方は4人くらい酔っていて辛そうでした。
上空でも揺れるので酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。

I didn't encounter any sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, but I did see the state fish. However, half of the one-hour swim was spent searching for sea turtles in an area where there weren't many fish, so there wasn't much time to enjoy watching the fish.

Additionally, after the tour, photos are uploaded to Facebook the same day, but ours were missing. There seemed to be some confusion during the tour regarding the number of participants (was it 8 or 10?), which raised concerns about their awareness. I also received no response when I inquired about it.

Even though I tipped generously, I felt that this tour company was dishonest, as they provided no support after payment. If I receive a response, I will revise my review. Please contact me for now.

ハナウマ湾でウミガメには出会えませんでしたが、州魚を見れました。ただ1時間の遊泳のうち半分は魚があまりいない場所でのウミガメ探しになってしまったので、ゆっくり魚を見る時間はありません。
また、ツアー後は当日中にFacebookに写真がアップロードされますが、私達夫婦の分が漏れており(ツアー中も参加者8人？10人？など揉めており、認識不足が垣間見えました。危険では？)、問い合わせても一切応答なし。
チップも十分払っているのに、、お金を払ったら後は一切対応しない不誠実なツアー運営だと思いました。連絡あれば、評価を修正します。とりあえず連絡ください。

It was canceled due to bad weather. It's a bit disappointing, even though it's nature. However, the guide was very attentive and we had a really enjoyable time.

天候不良で中止になりました。自然とはいえ、少し残念。でもガイドさんは丁寧に話してくれて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

The waves were calm that day, so we were able to go out to the special area. Although we didn't see any turtles, we saw plenty of colorful and large fish. I thought an hour would be short, but it turned out to be quite tiring, and I got seasick and felt fatigued from the flight. In the end, I managed to return slowly. I had prepared a waterproof case to take photos underwater, but I didn't have the energy to do so. Let's make sure to remember everything with our eyes. Both my child and I felt unwell, but the guide was very accommodating and didn't show any displeasure, which was a relief. Thank you very much.

その日は波が穏やかだったとのことで、特別に行ける沖にいったそうです。
カメは見られませんでしたが、カラフルで大きな魚はたくさん見れました。
1時間は短いかと思いましたが、やってみるとかなり疲れるのと波酔い、飛行機疲れのため酔ってしまいました。最後は休み休み、何とか戻ることができました。
水中で写真撮るかと思い、防水ケースを用意していましたが撮る余裕はありません。目でしっかり焼き付けましょう。
親子で体調が悪くなりましたが、ガイドの方が嫌な顔することなく対応してくださり助かりました。ありがとうございました。

The couple are so nice! I wish I could have them as guide again if I come next time. I will refer them to my friends and families.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 2019 and was impressed by its beauty and the abundance of fish. However, since then, tours have been discontinued and reservations are now required for entry, making it difficult to visit on my own. This time, I participated in a tour. Although the morning is early, I think it's nice because there are fewer crowds. Even if you're not good at English, as long as you ask about the meeting place and time for the return, there shouldn't be any problems. I was worried about strong winds the day before, but I was lucky that the weather was good on the day of the tour.

2019年に初めてハナウマ湾に行き、美しさとたくさんの魚を観ることが出来、感動しましたが、その後ツアーが無くなったり、入場予約が必要になったりで個人で行くのも難しく、今回、このツアーに参加しました。朝は早いですが混雑が少なくていいと思います。英語が不得手でも帰りの集合場所と時間さえ聞いておけば問題ないです。前日まで風が強く心配でしたが当日は天気良くラッキーでした。

The bus had multiple stops to pick up customers our driver was very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii. He provided solid information about going to the Arizona Memorial first. The wind was picking up making the water choppy and the shuttle could stop ferrying tourists. So we were able to get on the boat as stand-by then come back and walk through the museums.

Given a lot of good information about the Punch Bowl as we drove through the grounds!

If you are in Honolulu this tour is a must.

This time, the scheduled date and time were canceled due to bad weather, so we quickly changed it to the next morning. I had originally booked for lunchtime, hoping to see the beautiful ocean, but in the morning, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the sea looked a grayish blue. When I looked straight down, it was incredibly high and really scary! (150m)

I tackled it with my 5-year-old and my 6th grader in between us, and it seemed the kids had fun and wanted to do it again. Later, my parents, who are over 70, also tried it, and they said it wasn't as scary as I made it out to be. I'm sure it would be enjoyable if you don't look straight down.

Considering the price, the duration was long, and I thought it was very cost-effective.

今回、予定していた日時が天候不良で中止になり、急遽、翌日の朝イチに変更しました。もともとお昼の時間帯を予約していたので、海のキレイさが見られることを期待していましたが、朝イチはまだ日も射しておらず、海がグレーのようなブルーでした。なので、真下を見てみると、すっごく高くてめちゃくちゃ怖かったです！（１５０ｍ）
５歳の子どもと小６の子どもに挟まれて、３人で挑みましたが、子どもたちは楽しかったようで、またしたいと言っていました。
その後、７０を超えた両親も挑みましたが、私が騒ぐほど怖くなかったと言っていました。真下を見なければ、きっと楽しいと思います。
値段の割に時間も長く、とてもコスパは良いと思いました。

I participated in parasailing for the first time. The operation was handled by two English-speaking guys. Both of them were in a great mood, which really lifted my spirits. The parasailing was very stable in the air, and I was able to relax. I didn't get too wet during the landing, which was nice. The photo shoot cost $40, and I paid for it on-site.

はじめてパラセイリングに参加しました。
オペレーションされるのは英語話者のお兄さん二人でした。お二人ともご機嫌でこちらまでテンションが上がりました。
パラセイリングは上空ではとても安定しており、のんびりすることができました。着水時もあんまりぬれず、よかったです。
写真撮影は$40でした。現地にて支払いました。

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. This time, I traveled with my elderly mother, and since we were in Hawaii, I wanted to include some ocean activities for her as well. The boat does sway during the ride, so I think anyone who can brace themselves and maintain a seated position (as you take off from that position) can participate, even if they're older.

In the end, my mother was very satisfied, and it seems this became her favorite memory from the trip. For those who want photos, they take about 150 pictures of you in the air and the scenery from the boat, and after disembarking, they transfer the data to your phone right there. It comes with a memory card for $50. I usually don't buy many photos from tourist spots, but these turned out really well, and I'm happy with them.

ハワイでのパラセーリング2回目です。
今回は高齢の母と2人旅、せっかくのハワイなので母にも海のアクティビティを取り入れたくて参加しました。
ボートで移動時に揺れますので、その揺れを踏ん張れる方、長座の姿勢がとれる方(その体制から飛ぶので)であれば高齢でも参加できるかと思います。
結果、母大満足、今回の旅で1番の思い出になった様です。
写真が欲しい人は上空での様子やボートからの景色を150枚ほど撮ってくれて下船後にその場でデータを携帯に移行してくれます。メモリーカードも付いて50ドル。観光地の写真はあまり買わないのですが、よく撮れてて気に入ってます。

Right on HHV grounds, easy to get too, a wonderful night!

I participated in my first snorkeling tour because I wanted to create memorable experiences on my honeymoon! Although I had some anxiety, the instructor spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel very secure, and I was able to enjoy the experience without any difficulties, even as a beginner.

At first, I struggled to get used to breathing underwater, but the instructor held my hand and supported me throughout, always keeping an eye on all the participants. It seemed like we had good conditions that day, as we were able to go quite far and even encountered six sea turtles. However, depending on the type of participants (some were too scared to go deeper) and the sea conditions (like wind and waves), experiences may vary on different days, so some might find it less satisfying.

I truly had a wonderful experience, and thanks to Dan and Chieko, my honeymoon became an unforgettable one! One thing to note is that since it was my first time snorkeling, I felt a bit seasick, so I wish I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand. As someone who gets cold easily, even with a wetsuit, I still felt chilly at the seabed. Swimming for about an hour was quite tiring physically. I think it would be more enjoyable to participate in good health, especially considering the fatigue from traveling.

I noticed that they were attentive to those who seemed unwell, offering support and even having them sit in the front seat of the car on the way back. I believe they provided the best service possible. I highly recommend it!

新婚旅行で何か思い出に残ることがしたいと初めてのシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました！
不安もありましたが日本語を完全に話せるインストラクターさんなのでとても安心でき、初めてでも不自由なく過ごすことができました。
潜ってすぐは呼吸に慣れず手こずりましたがずっと手を繋いでサポートしてくれ、終始参加者全員のことを気にかけてくれていました。
条件がいい日だったようでかなり奥まで行けてウミガメ6匹とも会うことができましたが、参加者のタイプだったり（怖がって奥まで行けない方もいると仰ってました）、海の状況を見て（風や波など）参加日によってかなり違うと思うので物足りない方もいるのかもしれません。
私は本当に素晴らしい体験をさせて頂き、ダンさんチエコさんのおかげで一生忘れられない新婚旅行になりました！
注意点は初めてのシュノーケリングだったので少し波酔いしてしまったので酔い止めを飲んでおけば良かったと思います。冬の参加で寒がりの私はウエットスーツをお借りしても海底は寒く感じました。1時間ほどずっと泳ぐのでかなり体力的には疲れを感じました。旅の疲れもある中で体調は万全にして参加した方がより楽しめるかと思います。
気分が悪そうな方には声をかけていたり帰りの車は助手席に乗せていたり常に最善のサービスを届けて下さったと思います。おすすめです！

The female guide provided very detailed explanations, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind until the end. Additionally, she shared helpful information about local restaurants, which was very useful. Thank you very much.

女性のガイドの方が大変詳しい説明をして下さり、最後まで安心して楽しむことができました。また、現地のレストラン情報なども教えていただき、大変役に立ちました。有難うございました。

Dan did a great job working with our kids and giving them a great first experience.

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. It was amazing! The height of 150 meters allows you to experience both fear and a sense of freedom. My 10-year-old daughter also had her first experience and was thrilled, saying it was the best. It was funny to see her going wild up there, where no one could hear her.

My husband is not good with heights, so he was completely focused the whole time, and when we came down, he looked pale.

There were some big waves that caused the front of the boat to slam against the water, and one of the men on board dislocated his shoulder, probably because he was holding the railing incorrectly, and had to give up. It was unfortunate.

The staff takes great photos (40 with an SD card), so I recommend enjoying the scenery and atmosphere rather than just taking your own pictures!

今回でハワイでは2回目のパラセーリングでした。
やっぱり最高！
150メートルの高さは、恐怖心と開放感の両方を味わえます。10歳の娘も初体験でしたが、最高だと喜んでいました。上空での誰にも聞こえないであろう発狂っぷりが面白かったです
主人は高いとこが苦手なので終始両手に全集中していて、降りてきた時には真っ青になってました


大きな波が何度かきて船の前方が海面に叩きつけることがあり、一緒に乗船していた男性は手すりの持ち方が悪かったせいか肩を脱臼してしまい、あえなく断念。。
かわいそうでした。

スタッフの方が撮ってくれる写真（SDカード付きで40）がとてもいいので、
自分で撮る写真よりも景色や雰囲気を楽しむことをおすすめします！

We gathered in front of the marina's dock. Despite the boat being named "Sashimi II," it was a bit disappointing that no one spoke Japanese at all. I was the only Japanese participant, but if you have a little experience with fishing, you can understand how to use the equipment and the fishing techniques. I was able to grasp most of the explanations through gestures.

The bait was cut squid, and we used a simple bottom fishing setup with a two-hook rig and weights. We fished while changing points from the marina to off Waikiki and Diamond Head. The scenery was beautiful, providing double the enjoyment.

The target was the Mōngara (a type of filefish), and the crew prepared the fish we caught on board, allowing us to taste it on the way back.

マリーナの桟橋前で集合。
さしみ２号（sashimiⅡ）の船名のわりに日本語は全く通じなくてちょっと残念。
日本人参加者は自分１人だったのですが、船釣りの経験が少しあれば道具の使い方や釣り方は判ります。身振り手振りでも大体の説明は理解できました。
餌はイカの切り身、２本バリとおもりのスピニングタックルのシンプルな底釣りです。
マリーナからワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッド沖までをポイントを変えながら釣ります。風景も良く、ダブルの楽しみがあります。
ターゲットはモンガラ（カワハギの仲間）で釣った魚はクルーが船内でさばいて帰りに味見が出来ました。

Everyone except for my husband and me were foreigners. If you don't set the audio guide to Japanese, you won't understand the explanations at all. However, since the boat rocks a lot on the way, it's better to have motion sickness medication. It was thrilling to transfer from the boat to the submarine. Moving in the middle of the ocean to the submarine was amazing. When a sea turtle swam close to the window, I was so impressed! It was great to encounter various fish as well.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人。説明も日本語オーディオガイドにセットしないと説明が全く分からず、しかし、行きの船がとても揺れるので酔い止めの薬は、あった方が良い。船から潜水艇を乗り移る時などは感動。海のど真ん中でから、潜水艇へと移動。ウミガメが、窓の近くに泳いで来てくれた時は、すご〜い❗️と感動。
色んな魚とも出会いよかったです。

My family loved it. We got to see dolphins turtles, and the view was amazi loved how they asked if they could dip the kids, and yes, give them all the way there was all around great experience would do it again. Kids loved it.

Everything that was listed happened, they came to pick us up on time, the equipment was in perfect shape, the small training for beginners was clear and well done.
I went with my 7-year-old daughter, and both guides where all the time paying special attention to us, to see that were ok, taking special care of us. I felt very well looked after and secure. They know what they do and are very professional.
The experience is really amazing, we saw so many fishes and a turtle.
We both loved it.

Traveling by boat was quite thrilling, and it was so rocky that it would have been dangerous if I hadn't taken motion sickness medication! When flying in the sky, I was nervous at first, but everywhere I looked was a breathtaking view, creating the best memories! By the way, we weren't asked whether we would land in the water; everyone was dropped equally!

船で移動している時もかなりスリル満点で、酔い止めを飲んでいなければ危なかったなというほど揺れました！
空を飛んでいる時も、初めはドキドキしたのですが、どこをみても絶景で最高の思い出ができました！
ちなみに水に着地するかどうかは聞かれず、全員平等に落とされていました！

Adam was prompt for pick up at hotel and at Diamond head. He was informative and gave good tips about the hike. Beautiful hike

There was only one point of interest, which felt a bit lonely, but the staff were all friendly. Although it's not directly related to the tour, the meeting place is a homeless hub, so the atmosphere isn't very good, and it's something to be cautious about.

ポイントは一ヶ所のみで少し寂しい感じでしたが、スタッフの方々は皆さんフレンドリーでした。ツアーとは直接関係ないですが、集合場所はホームレス拠点なので、あまり雰囲気は良くないし、要注意です。

An airplane was flying overhead, and I was able to take some wonderful photos!

A few groups went offshore, and since there is a sequence of activities, it's better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication in advance.

上空を飛行機が飛んでいて
素敵な写真が撮れました！

何組かで沖合に行き、アクティビティの順番があるので
船酔いする人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいい。
