All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

The overall experience was simply amazing!
It was my first time parasailing and the crew was very helpful and made us comfortable.
The view from above was spectacular and I’d surely recommend anyone and everyone to go for it!
Very safe and extremely exciting.
The kids enjoyed it too

The moment I floated up into the sky, the blue ocean spread out below me, and it was amazing! The weather was also great, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully. I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you might get a little splashed.

空にフワッと舞い上がった瞬間、眼下に青い海が広がって最高でした!お天気にも恵まれ、ダイアモンドヘッドも綺麗に見れました。少し濡れるので濡れてもよい服装で参加したらよいと思います。

We used it with three people.

Since we were the first, we were thrown into the sea without a moment to catch our breath. Haha.

It became the best memory!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

3人で利用しました。

トップバッターだったので、息つく間もなく
海上に飛ばされました。笑

最高の思い出となりました！

ありがとうございました^ ^

I'm really glad I was able to enter Hanauma Bay, which requires a reservation! The instructor was very polite and spoke Japanese, which was quite helpful. There were 10 participants and 2 instructors this time, but since the activities were tailored to the participants' levels, the snorkeling ended up being quite shallow, and the water clarity wasn't great. I was really looking forward to snorkeling in Hawaii, so it was a bit disappointing.

予約がないと入れないハナウマベイに入れたのは、とってもよかったです‼︎
インストラクターの方はとても丁寧で日本語も話せるので、かなり助かりました。
今回は参加者10人、インストラクター2人だったのですが、参加者のレベルに合わせてになるので今回のシュノーケリングらかなり浅瀬のみでの実施になってしまい、普通のシュノーケリングかつ海の透明度もイマイチでした。。
ハワイでのシュノーケリングなのでかなり楽しみにしていた手前少し残念でした。。

The view from 150 meters is amazing. It was a breathtaking sight with Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii visible. Even during the waiting time for parasailing, the crew kept us entertained, so there was no time to get bored. However, the boat might be a bit rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

高さ150mの景色は最高。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハワイの街並みが見える絶景でした。パラセーリングの待ち時間も船員の方が色々と楽しませてくれるので、退屈する時間はありませんでした。ただ船は少し酔いやすいかもしれないので、酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。

It's our second time with this parasailing company, and once again, they delivered a thrilling adventure beyond our expectations! We did this with my girls when they were 9 and 11 years old, and my son, who was only 4 years old, could not join us at the time. But now, my girls are 18 and 16, and my son has turned 11 years old, and this time, he's finally able to join on the fun with us! We're thrilled to have the whole family together for this incredible experience.

My kids experienced the best time of their lives, and it's so fun to watch them happily share their experiences to their cousins and friends.

As always, the captains are fun and they make the experience more exciting! The beautiful pictures taken added to the joy of the trip too.

The pre-experience explanatory video had Japanese subtitles, and the instructors spoke Japanese, so it was not a problem if you are not fluent in English! The practical instructions were clear, and I was able to get on the board right away. There were three of us participating, but since there were two instructors, they provided guidance tailored to each participant's level, allowing us to have a meaningful experience. For those who were capable, they encouraged us to try new things, like riding the waves alongside the instructors or going out to where the big waves were. For those who were less experienced, they offered experiences in areas with moderate waves, and if someone wanted to try the big waves, they made it possible!

体験前の事前説明動画は日本語字幕があり、インストラクターの方も日本語が話せる方だったので英語が上手でなくても問題ないです！
実践もわかりやすく説明してくださり、すぐにボードに乗ることができました。3人での体験となりましたが、インストラクターの方が2名いたので体験者のレベルに合わせてインストラクターの方が指示してくれ、有意義な時間が過ごせました。出来る人にはどんどん新しいことも体験させてくれ、インストラクターの方と一緒に（隣に並んで）波に乗ったり、大きな波がある沖にいったりもしました。不慣れな人には中くらいの波のところで体験や、本人が大きな波にトライしたかったら、体験させてくれたりと、、！！

Tons of fun. Safe and worthwhile. We chose the picture package. It’s cash purchase. Tips recommended.

Will recommend this ride for sure.

I participated in this tour for the first time. Due to the weak yen, I requested a shuttle service, and the cost was just under 30,000 yen per person, but I joined with my family of three. The guide spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said, but we had a wonderful time. We were able to take photos at movie filming locations, see cacao that you can't find in Japan, and even crack and eat macadamia nuts ourselves, which was a fun experience. Above all, the scenery was amazing! The weather was also favorable, making both the mountains and the sea incredibly beautiful. It was a healing time for my husband and me, who are usually tired from work. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate in a buggy riding tour.

初めてこのツアーに参加しました。
円安だったので、送迎もお願いして費用は1人3万円弱かかってしまったのですが、家族3人で参加しました。
ガイドさんは全て英語だったので、何をお話されているのかはわからなかったですが、とてと良い時間を過ごす事ができました。
映画のロケ地で写真を撮る事ができたり、日本では見ることができないカカオを見れたりマカダミアナッツを自分で割って食べる事ができたりと楽しい体験もできました。何より景色が素晴らしい!!お天気にも恵まれた事もあり山も海も凄くキレイで最高でした。日頃、仕事に疲れている夫と私には癒しの時間になりました。
またハワイに行く事ができたら、バギーに乗るツアーに参加してみたいと思います。

Having experienced many shows across Hawaii, I must say the Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki stands out as one of the absolute best. Accompanied by my 10-year-old niece, we were both completely mesmerized by the sheer brilliance of this performance.

The ambiance and decor of the venue transported us back to the enchanting Victorian era, and it was a delightful immersion into a world of wonder and magic. Not to mention convenience of its location made it very accessible for a non-driver like me :)

However, the true highlight was the exceptional magician whose performance was nothing short of spectacular. Their mastery and skill were evident in every act, and they had the audience's attention captivated throughout the show. My niece, in particular, was enthralled and thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and was so excited when she was called up to assist!

All in all, the Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki is an absolute gem, and definitely a must-see for anyone looking to have an evening filled with enchantment and awe~

The tour was fantastic as described for beginners snorkeling, the guide Dan was amazing he made sure we are safe and helped to see amazing fishes , it was good experience.

At the end of December, it was the rainy season, so the weather was bad and cold, making it impossible to stay in the sea for even 10 minutes. I quickly headed towards the parking lot, but there was no place to take shelter from the rain, and many people were gathered under the small roof of the shop and restroom. I thought it would be nice to have a facility with a roof to take shelter during such times.

The driver-guide was kind and friendly, but since the explanations were only in English, I couldn't understand anything and felt anxious from start to finish, which made the experience zero fun. While there were some pouches with explanations about the fish, I wished they could at least prepare a minimal Japanese pouch with the day's itinerary, return time, meeting place, and precautions for Hanauma Bay. I think Japanese people who cannot speak English should not participate. Conversely, if they want to attract Japanese customers, they should prepare explanatory pouches. If they don't need Japanese customers, then it's fine to continue as they have been. At least I managed to get back.

12月末で雨期だったので、天候が悪く、寒くて、10分も海に浸かることができないほど、直ぐに着替え駐車場の方に向かったが、雨宿りするところもなく売店とトイレの小さな屋根の所に大勢でいてましてが、こんな時に雨宿りできる屋根のある施設があれば良いのにな〜と思いました。
運転手ガイドさんは、優しくて親切ではありますが、英語の説明しかないので、全くわからず最初から最後まで不安で楽しさは、0でした。魚の説明のパウチ等は、軽く回されましたが、そのパウチを準備できるならせめて最小限の日本語の1日の流れ、帰りの時間と集合場所、ハナウマベイの注意事項等のパウチを準備して欲しかった。英語のできない日本人は、参加すべきでないと思います。逆に日本人のお客さんを獲得したいなら説明パウチを準備すべきだと思います。日本人のお客さんを必要ないと思うなら今まで通りで良いかと思います。何とか帰ってこれましたから

The magic shows I attended in Hawaii (30 years ago and 10 years ago) were so wonderful that I tried to find and book one, but it seems the magician from back then has retired. This time, I saw a different Japanese magician for the first time, and he was an amazing performer, just as good as the previous ones, allowing me to have a very fulfilling time. It was great to watch up close, and the entertaining talk created a fantastic atmosphere. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't figure out the right timing for when to go to the restroom or order additional drinks. Also, the introduction before the show started and the waiting time after the gathering was quite long. Furthermore, I found it inappropriate to be standing in line while being offered cocktails; it felt rather rude. If possible, drinks should be served at the venue.

これまでハワイに来た時に(30年前、10年前)観たマジックショーがあまりにもすばらしかったので、探して申込もうとしましたが、当時のマジシャンは引退されたようでした。今回初めて異なる日本人マジシャンを観ましたが、まさるとも劣らぬ素晴らしいマジシャンで、とても充実した時間を過ごせました。至近距離で観させて頂いた事、トークが面白く幻想的な雰囲気である事が良かったです。トイレに行きたい時や飲み物の追加注文等の可否のタイミングが良く分からなかったのは残念でした。又、本番が始まるまでの導入部と集合時間以降の待ち時間が長い。又立って並んで待っている時に飲み物のカクテルを飲ませるのは頂けない、寧ろ失礼かと思います。どうせなら飲み物は会場で。

The weather was nice and the sea was calm on the day of the event, so it felt really good to ascend high into the sky. The view of Waikiki Beach from the sea was also very beautiful. I felt like I got a great deal being able to see both Waikiki from the sky and the sea. Everyone who participated was friendly and we had enjoyable conversations; it was truly a wonderful experience. I would like to participate again next time I visit Hawaii.

当日は天気も良く海も穏やかだったので､空に向かって高く高く登って行く感じがとても気持ちよかったです。海のから見るワイキキビーチもとても綺麗でした。空から海から両方のワイキキが見れてお得感を感じました。一緒に参加した皆さんとも和気あいあいで楽しく会話して､ほんとに良い体験でした。ハワイに来た際は次回も参加したいと思います。

The reservation was canceled due to strong winds on the day of the activity. Being over 60 years old, I was quite sensitive to the weather and felt there were risks involved. If I could get a refund, I would have preferred to cancel, but since I came to Hawaii, I reconsidered and decided to rebook for the next day. Honestly, I was quite scared until the last minute, but the handsome local staff created a friendly atmosphere and guided us, allowing me to have a very safe, enjoyable, and thrilling experience. It was an activity that made me want to do it again if I had the chance.

予約した当日は突風のために中止に。60歳過ぎの老人という事もあり、気候にデリケートでリスクをはらみそうで、返金されるならいっその事キャンセルしても良かったのですが、ハワイに来たからには、らしいアクティビティをと思い直し、やむなく翌日に再予約。直前までは正直怖怖でしたが、イケメンの現地スタッフの方々が和気あいあいとしたムードで手解きしてくれましたので大変安全に楽しくスリルある体験をさせて頂きました。余裕があればリピしたいと思わせしめるアクティビティでした。

In the past, I had made reservations twice in Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, but both times I had to cancel due to weather conditions, which made me anxious. However, this time the weather was favorable, and I was finally able to experience the thrilling ride I had longed for.

After setting sail, we were rocked by the waves during the transfer to the experience location, and some people felt seasick. I felt a bit anxious when I heard screams during takeoff, but I felt reassured after hearing about the experience during the flight and the feedback after returning to the boat.

When it was our turn, we were fully prepared and were able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. During the flight, we were able to take photos (no videos), which became a wonderful keepsake. Thank you!

過去にハワイカイ、ホノルルで過去2回予約するも、どちらも天候等でやむなくキャンセルとなり不安でしたが、今回は天候にも恵まれ、念願イリングイリングを体験できました。
出航後、体験場所への移動中は波に揺られ、船酔いする方もおられましたが、最初の方が離陸？する際の悲鳴に少し不安な気持ちを持ちましたが、フライト中の様子や帰船後に感想を聞いたりして安心しました。
自分達の順になり、準備万端で思い切り楽しむことが出来ました。
フライト中には写真（動画はなし）撮影もしていただき、良い記念となりありがとうございました。

Headphones and MP3 pre-download are essential! Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it was great that the meeting place was nearby. It was a valuable experience to go underwater in a submarine.

イヤフォンとmp3の事前ダウンロード必須！
Hilton Hawaiian village宿泊だったので、待ち合わせ場所が近くて良かったです。
潜水艦で海の中へ入る貴重な経験でした

It was great!
The view was amazing.

What surprised me was that at an altitude of about 120 meters, the three companions I was with were able to have a normal conversation with each other.

Also, we took off from the back deck of the boat and were able to land there beautifully again.
(I had expected that since we were required to wear swimsuits, we would have to plunge into the seawater when landing and be pulled up, but I was wonderfully surprised.)

I highly recommend this experience.

良かったです！
眺め最高でした。

驚いたのが、上空120メートル位？の地点で、一緒に上がった仲間計3人が普通のボリュームで互いに会話が出来た事です。

それと、船の後ろ甲板から飛び立ち、またそこに見事に降り立つことが出来た事です。
（水着着用義務となっていたので、降りるときは海水にジャボンと浸かり引き揚げて貰うのかと予想していましたが見事裏切られました。）

この経験はお薦めです。

Second time in Hawaii.
Since the day I arrived in Honolulu, it has been raining continuously, and even on the day I had reserved, it rained (tears).
I didn't expect it to rain this much during the rainy season! I wore a water-repellent windbreaker for the rain, but since I'm particularly sensitive to the cold, I felt like I wanted to wear a fleece underneath.
For those participating on rainy days, the ground is muddy and slippery, so while it may add to your luggage, I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes for when you get dirty and to find ways to stay warm to avoid getting cold.
I was able to enjoy each activity even with the bad weather.
I love plants, so seeing plants I've never seen before, drenched in rain and vibrant, was exciting.

If it had been sunny, I would have been able to see the ocean in the distance, so I would like to try again if I have the chance.
Thank you very much.

2度目のハワイ。
ホノルル到着した日から雨続きで、
予約していたこの日も雨（涙）。
雨季は雨季でもこんなに降るか！っていうくらいのタイミング。
雨用に撥水加工のウインドブレーカーを着て行ったのですが、特に寒がりの私なので中にフリース着たいくらいでした。
雨の日に参加する方には、地面がぬかるんでいて滑りやすいので
荷物は増えますが
汚れた時用の着替えとか
とにかく体を冷やさないように
暖かく過ごせる工夫をされるといいと思います。
各アクティビティはお天気が悪くても十分楽しめました。
植物が大好きなので
見たこともない植物が雨に濡れて鮮やかでワクワクしました。

晴れていたら遠くの海まで見渡せるので
また機会があったらリベンジしたいです。
ありがとうございました。

According to the captain, if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We were in Honolulu the day before, and a whale appeared, which heightened our spirits and allowed us to have an unexpectedly wonderful time.

キャプテンによると、運が良ければイルカが見れるとのこと。私たちはホノルル前日であったが、クジラがあらわれ、機運が高まったことから予想以上に素晴らしい時間を過ごせた。

I challenged the 150-meter course!
The other three groups with us were all foreigners! But there was not a single uncomfortable moment!
I didn't request any photos since they cost money!
I went pretty high up, and the drop was slow enough that it wasn't scary, but when I was submerged in the water and came up quickly, it was really scary, but I had fun! Haha
Maybe it was a honeymoon service, or maybe because it was the last one, but they let us go under twice (><) Haha
Even someone like me who can't handle roller coasters was able to do it!
And although I have a fear of heights, if I just zoned out and didn't look down, it was a bit scary but I managed to be okay!
Since I had such a great time, I gave a $10 tip to each of the two staff members!

150メートルの方を挑戦！
あたしたちの他三組は、全て海外の人だった！でも、居心地悪い感じはひとつも無し！
写真はお金がかかるので、依頼しませんでした！！
結構たかくまであがって、落ちる時はまあまあゆっくりだから怖くなかったけど、水に漬かって上がる時が一気にあがってすごく怖かったけど、楽しかった！笑
ハネムーンサービスなのか、最後だからか2回も浸からせてくれた(><)笑
ジェットコースターがだめなあたしでもいけました！
そして、高所恐怖症ですが下を見ずにボーッとしてたら少しは怖いけどなんとか大丈夫な感じでした！
楽しませてもらったのでtipを10ドルずつ2人に渡した！

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

マノアの滝に向かう道は勾配があったけど、ガイドのアノイさんが適度に休憩してくれて、フォトスポットでは芸術的な写真を撮ってくれて大満足のツアーでした。とても楽しめました。またタンタラスで食べたサンドイッチも美味しくてとてもお得なツアーだと思います。次回はこちらの違うアクティビティに参加したいと思いました。
ただ、ツアー前にツアー会社で買ったブレスレットが翌日壊れてしまったので⭐︎4つにしました。気に入ったデザインだったのでとても残念です。

Let's join this tour with an open mind, haha!

First, the staff arrived about 20 minutes late from the meeting time! Well, since the other participants didn't complain, I'll take it as a good sign.

Also, once we got on the boat, there was a long explanation, but it was all in English! (By the way, the email we received right before also came in English, so I used a translation app to understand the content.)

Anyway, after listening to the explanation, we dove in! We saw so many turtles, it was amazing!

On the way back, we even encountered dolphins. It would have been perfect if I understood English, but I still had a great time!

このツアーはおおらかな気持ちで参加しましょう笑
まず、集合時間から20分ぐらい遅れでスタッフさん登場！まぁ他の参加者の方も文句は言ってなかったので良しとします
あと、船に乗ってから説明が長々とありましたが、全部英語！(ちなみに直前に来る案内メールも英語なので翻訳アプリで訳して内容理解しました)
まぁなんとなく説明も聞いてからのダイブ！
亀はこれでもかっ！ってぐらいに会えました。
あと、帰りの船でイルカにも遭遇
英語さえわかれば最高！じゃなくても楽しめました！

Our kids had a blast, not sure if I would do this if I had older kids / adults, as the views were okay!

The Hawaii water is so clear! We got to see cute turtles and so many colorful fish.

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.

I highly recommend this for activity beginners! The reception and the experience were both amazing!

The atmosphere on the boat was great, and the captain was fantastic! I want to go again!

アクティビティ初心者にちょーーーおすすめです！
受付、体験何をとっても最高でした！！

実際船の上でも雰囲気もよくキャプテンも最高です！
またいきたいです

I was suddenly canceled on, and when I inquired, I couldn't get in touch, so I went directly to the location, but there was no staff present. (There were also a few others waiting for the same reason.) After that, I was asked via email whether I wanted a refund or to change to another day, and when I chose to change to the next day, it was canceled again. I had changed into my swimsuit and arrived on time, but after being kept waiting, I was told that the engine was having issues. I was really looking forward to parasailing on that day, which was my last day, and I am filled with disappointment. I want my time back. I will not be making a reservation here again.

突然キャンセルされ、問い合わせましたが連絡がつかなかったので直接現地に行ったところスタッフが誰もいませんでした。(他にもちらほら同じ理由で待機しているであろう方々がいました)
その後メールで返金か別日に変更するか聞かれ、翌日に変更してもらったところ、翌日もキャンセルされました。水着にも着替え、時間通りに到着したのに待たされた挙句今日はエンジンの調子が悪いからと言われました。その日は最終日でパラセーリングを楽しみにしていたのにとても残念な気持ちでいっぱいです。時間を返して欲しいです。
もうここで予約はしません。

I received a cancellation notice because the Japanese tour didn't meet the minimum number of participants, but I joined in with an English guide and it was quite fun! I laughed a lot.

The guide talked non-stop like a radio DJ, but I got used to it surprisingly well. Since I'm in a foreign country, this is also acceptable! He spoke to us in slow English, which was nice.

It was raining at Manoa Falls, but the weather was actually quite nice for feeling the essence of Hawaii. The greenery was more vibrant, and the sound of the waterfall was very refreshing.

The ocean is great, but the mountains are nice too.

P.S. I actually participated in a trial tour with Lucky Man, the owner of this tour, four years ago. It's a shame that it seems to no longer exist, but I really enjoyed having a guide who wasn't just focused on tourism. I had hoped to see him again, but it's unfortunate.

　日本人ツアーが定員満たずキャンセルの連絡がきましたが、英語のガイドで楽人に交じって参加。。。。結構面白かったです！大爆笑。
　ラジオのDJを聞いているようにしゃべりっぱなしのガイドでしたが、耳になじんで意外といけました。一応外国に来ているんだからこれもありです！
私たちへの問いかけはゆっくり目の英語にしてくれました。（笑）
　マノアの滝は雨でしたがハワイを感じるの実はなかなかよい天候（笑）緑がより緑で滝の音ととても新鮮です。
　海もいいけど山もよいですね。
　追伸、このツアーのオーナーのラッキーマンに実は4年前にトライアルツァーに参加。。。もうないみたいで残念でしたが、観光じゃないガイドがとてもよかたです。（笑）また、お会いしたいと思っていましたが、残念でした。
