All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Since the people in the pair I rode with were all Japanese, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed participating. The weather was nice, so the scenery was amazing.

同乗したペアの人たちも日本人しかいなかったので、とても安心して楽しく参加できました。
天気が良かったので景色が最高でした。

We went out to sea by boat and experienced parasailing. The boat we joined had 10 people, all Japanese couples. The captain and two crew members were very lively and kept the energy high.

The round trip to the offshore location was quite bumpy, so if you're prone to seasickness, please take medication beforehand.

Basically, the communication is in English, but they guide you step by step, so it's not difficult. The time spent in the air is about 5 minutes, but it was surprisingly high and felt great.

They will ask if you want to take photos on the boat, but you can confirm the photos after disembarking before payment. If you have an iPhone, you can transfer the data on the spot and receive an SD card.

Due to the weak yen and high prices, Hawaii has become quite an expensive place, but considering the cost-effectiveness, it's a satisfying activity.

船で沖合に行き、パラセーリングを体験します。我々が参加する船は、5組10人、すべて日本人のカップルでした。ノリがいい船長と船員の2名がテンション高めに盛り上げてくれます。

沖合までの往復はかなり揺られので船酔いしやすい方は事前にお薬を飲んでください。

基本的には英語でのやり取りとなりますが、手取り足取り教えてくれるので難しいことはありません。空中にいる時間は5分程度ですが、想像以上に高く、気持ちが良かったです。

船の上で写真撮影の有無を聞かれるのですが、会計は下船後に写真を確認してからで大丈夫です。iPhoneであれば、その場でデータを転送のうえ、SDカードがもらえます。

円安と物価高で非常にハワイはお金がかかる場所になってしまいましたが、費用対効果を考えても満足できるアクティビティです。

The high-speed boat heading out to sea was truly refreshing! From a higher vantage point than I imagined, I could see the beautiful ocean and the city of Waikiki all the way to Diamond Head, and the view was absolutely stunning. The staff were also fun and friendly, speaking a bit of broken Japanese like "Bocchan, daijoubu?" I was completely dropped into the sea, but it was not scary at all and was actually a lot of fun. It was my first time parasailing, and I made the most wonderful memories! Thank you very much.

沖に向かう高速ボートから実に爽快！
想像より高い位置から美しい海とワイキキの街からダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望出来、その眺めはまさに絶景でした。
スタッフの方々も楽しく親切で「ボチャン、大丈夫？」などと片言楽の日本語も。
ボチャン〜と思いっきり海に落とされましたが、それも怖いことはな全く楽しかったです。初パラセーリングでしたが最高に素敵な思い出が出来ました！
ありがとうございました。

No matter how high the waves were, we set sail without any issues, and just being on the boat was a lot of fun. I wasn't sure how high 150 meters would be, but it was much higher than I imagined, and I could see all of Waikiki. The staff spoke English, but I could understand them through gestures, and the participants were from various countries. I'm glad I decided to join. I think there's a special meaning in doing this in Hawaii.

多少波が高くても問題なく出航し、ボートに乗っているだけでも、とても楽しかったです。
150mがどれくらいか見当がつかず参加したのですが、想像以上に高く、ワイキキが一望出来ました。
スタッフさんは英語ですが、ジェスチャーでなんとなく分かりますし、参加した方も色々な国の方ばかりでした。
思い切って参加して良かったです。
ハワイでやる事に意味があると思います。

The view of Waikiki's ocean and Diamond Head was absolutely stunning! There were some incidents, like a strong wind causing a brief interruption and me getting seasick, but the captains were experts, so I felt at ease. Thanks to the cheerful captains, it was enjoyable until the very end. The photo session I requested for $40 resulted in over 100 pictures, which I had a great time looking back on. Thank you so much!!

ワイキキの海とダイヤモンドヘッドを一望できて最高の景色でした！
風が強くなった時に一度中断したり、自分が船酔いしてしまったりとアクシデントもありましたが、キャプテン達がエキスパートなので、安心して過ごすことができました。また、陽気なキャプテン達のおかげで最後まで楽しかったです。
40ドルでお願いした写真撮影も、100枚以上撮ってくださってて、楽しく見返しました。
本当にありがとうございました！！

I originally had a fear of heights, but I was able to enjoy this without much feeling of floating! If you're going to do it, I recommend the 150m option! The view is stunning! When coming down, they lower you slowly, but you do get dropped into the sea once, which is also quite fun. They do take photos, but it costs $40. Since that's expensive, we tried to take as many pictures ourselves as possible (though we couldn't capture the view from below). You will get wet, so it's best to wear clothes that can get wet (like a swimsuit). The boat sways quite a bit, so if you get motion sickness, definitely bring some motion sickness medication! (You can get water at the counter.)

元々高所恐怖症でしたが、こちらはあまり浮遊感なく楽しめました！
どうせやるなら１５０ｍをおすすめします！すごい景色の眺めがキレイです！
また降りるときはゆっくり下げてくれますが、一度海に落とされますｗそれもまた面白いです。
写真は撮ってくれますが40ドルでした。高いので私たちはできる限り自分たちで撮るようにしました。（下からの眺めは撮れませんが）
濡れるので濡れてもいい服（水着等）で行くのがおすすめです。
船はかなり揺れるので酔う方は酔い止め必須です！（お水はカウンターで貰えました）

There were no other Japanese tourists on the bus for the tour. All the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content, but I could somewhat feel the atmosphere. The jungle exploration had a nice opportunity for a bit of hiking, which was great. The tour around the farm turned out to be surprisingly the most interesting and enjoyable experience. It was amazing to see the magnificent scenery that can only be found here.

ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。

The scenery was very beautiful, and I could feel the sea breeze, which made it a lot of fun. From below, it looked quite high and a bit scary at first, but it wasn't scary at all. There were several other participants as well, but while waiting, the boat swayed quite a bit, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before the experience.

景色がとても綺麗で、海風も感じることが出来とてま楽しかったです。高さは下から見ると結構高くて怖そうだなと最初は思いましたが、全然怖くなかったです。他にも参加者が何組かいましたが、待っている間に結構船が揺れるので船酔いしやすいかたには酔い止めを体験前に服用されることをオススメします。

With a small group of up to five people, they provided attentive service. I swam (or should I say floated?!) quite a distance from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling too tired. Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles this time, I've heard they can occasionally be seen. Currently, reservations are required for Hanauma Bay, making it difficult to visit on your own, so this was truly a lifesaver!

5人迄の少人数催行なのできめ細かく対応してもらえます。ハナウマベイの端から端迄、かなりの距離を泳いだ（流れたとも言う?!）のにさほど疲労もなく楽しく過ごせました。今回はウミガメに遭遇できませんでしたが偶に見かけるそうです。今ハナウマベイは予約が必須で個人で行くのが難しくなっていますので、本当に助かりました！

I wasn't very interested in the show at first, but I made a reservation anyway. However, once I participated, I had a great time and I'm glad I went! My family enjoyed it as well! It was also nice to have time to take photos with the performers after the show!

あまりショーは興味がなかったのですが、とりあえず予約しました。
しかし参加してみるとすごい楽しく、参加して良かったです！家族も楽しんでおりました！
ショーの後に演者と写真をとれる時間もまたよかったです！

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！

I participated with my brothers and their daughters, a total of five of us. We received a lecture on how to board and paddle, and together we cooperated to push the canoe into the sea and board it. We worked hard to paddle out to the open water, and when the crew confirmed good waves, we turned direction, increased our pace to ride the waves, and successfully caught some amazing waves. That feeling was the best!

兄弟とその娘の５人で参加しました。乗り込み方、漕ぎ方のレクチャーを受け、皆で協力してまずはカヌーを海に押し入れて乗船。頑張って沖に漕ぎ出し、クルーがいい波を確認したら方向転換、波に乗るためピッチを上げて漕ぎ、見事波に乗ることが出来ました。その感覚は最高でした!

The meeting place is conveniently close to the hotel, making it easy to get there without a shuttle. The staff was kind and attentive, allowing me to enjoy parasailing with peace of mind.

集合場所もホテルから近く送迎なしで気軽に行けて便利
スタッフも親切丁寧で安心してパラセーリングを楽しめました。

The show was wonderful, but I was disappointed with the waiting time from check-in to being seated and the quality of the food.

ショーは素晴らしかったですが、チェックインタイムから着席までの待ち時間と料理の質にゲンナリしました。

It was my first experience, and it was very refreshing and became a great memory. The instructors were fun to talk to, and they took a lot of photos for us.

初めて体験しましたが、とても爽快で良い思い出になりました。インストラクターのお兄さん達のお話も楽しく写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。

We were the only Japanese participants, but after the overall explanation in English, they provided individual explanations in clear English, which made it very considerate and easy for us to participate.

参加者の中で日本人は私達だけでしたが、全体で英語で説明した後に個別にわかりやすい英語で説明してもらえたり、とても気にかけてくれて参加しやすかったです。

It's a bit disappointing that the location has changed to the rooftop parking lot; it used to be in the courtyard. As a result, the space feels smaller, and the scale of the show seems reduced. The fire dance has also become smaller. Perhaps it's due to the high cost of living.

場所が駐車場の屋上になったことが、少し残念。以前は中庭でした。
その分スペースが小さくなり、ショーの規模も小さい気がします。
　ファイヤーダンスも規模が小さくなってしまった。
　料理もかな
　物価高だから仕方ないのかもしれません

I saw something I thought I was too old to try. This being a birthday weekend of celebrating I thought I'd step out on faith and try something new. When the opportunity came, I said, signs me up, I'm all in. Though a little nervous the crew Russell and Sharky, made you feel relaxed and offered instructions that had you moving along as if you were a pro. There was, laughter, gentle corrections and so much fun. Before you knew it you were getting strapped in and sailing in the air at 1000 ft. Who would have known it would be so much fun. I'd do this again if and or when the opportunity comes around again.

I've always wanted to try outrigger canoeing! The first wave was a bit small, and since I had heard there would be three challenges, I thought there would be two more to go... However, the small ones didn't count, and I was able to ride three big waves. The thrill of riding those big waves and getting close to the shore was absolutely amazing! I ended up getting splashed more than I expected. (laughs) But I highly recommend this activity.

Next time, I definitely want to ride even bigger waves than this time! ♪

ずぅーと体験したかったアウトリガーカヌー！初めの波は少し小さくて、挑戦は3回と聞いていたのであと2回なのかなーと思っていましたが、、、
小さいのはカウントされずに、3回大きな波に乗せてもらうことができました。
本当に、大きな波に乗れて岸近くまで行く快感は最高に気持ちいいです！
思ったより、全身水をかぶりました。笑
でも、おすすめのアクティビティです。

是非、次回は今回以上に大きな波に乗りたいです♪

It felt like I was floating in the air, and it was very pleasant! It was higher than I expected, but the view of Waikiki was amazing! There wasn't much of a floating sensation, so it swayed a bit, but even those who are scared will be fine. At the end, we made a splash into the sea, which was also fun.

Here’s what I experienced: After checking in, we waited for about 10 minutes before boarding the boat, and then we went straight to parasailing. I recommend taking care of restrooms, motion sickness medication, and changing clothes before checking in. There was a public restroom nearby. Also, since you will be getting a little wet, wearing a swimsuit is a good idea.

In my group, there were 3 pairs of us, and we flew shortly after traveling about 10 minutes by boat. By the way, we were instructed to put sandals and bags under the boat seats.

Before flying, they asked us to remove our hats, but it was okay to hold onto our smartphones in waterproof cases (we could take photos from above).

Right before flying, the crew asked if we wanted to buy photos (for $40), and if you request it at that time, they will take over 100 pictures for you. The payment was made at the check-in hut after getting off the boat (credit cards were accepted).

The boat swayed quite a bit, so it's recommended to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

空中をふわふわ散歩してるかのような気分で、とても気持ちよかったです！
思ったより高かったですが、ワイキキも見渡せて、最高です！
そんなに浮遊感もないので、多少は揺れますが、怖がりでも大丈夫でした。
最後に海にジャパーンするのですが、それも面白かったです。


以下、私が体験した内容です。
チェックインしたら、10分くらいその場で待った後にすぐ船に乗り、そのままパラセーリングでした。
トイレや酔い止め、着替えは済ましてからのチェックインがおすすめです。なお、公衆トイレみたいなのが近くにありました。また、海にちょっぴり浸かるので、水着が良いと思います。

私の回は2人×3組だったのですが、船で10分くらい行った先で、すぐに飛ぶことになります。
ちなみに、サンダルやカバンは船の座席の下に入れるよう指示がありました。

飛ぶ際に、帽子は取るように言われましたが、防水ケースに入れたスマホは持っててOKでした（上から写真もとれました）。

飛ぶ直前に、写真（40ドル）を買うかどうかクルーの方に聞かれて、その際にお願いすると、100枚以上写真を取ってくれます。
なお、お会計は船を降りたあと、チェックインした小屋にて支払いました（カードもOKでした）。

船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでおくほうがオススメです。

Lunch was delicious on top of a wonderful day at the park.

I was able to rent a long-sleeved wetsuit and long pants, so I didn't have to worry about sunburn or the cold. I was able to swim quite a distance. It would have been tough to go on my own, so I'm glad I joined a tour.

長袖長ズボンのウエットスーツをレンタルできたので、日焼けも寒さも気にならなかったです。 結構な距離を泳ぐことができました。 個人で行くのは大変なのでツアーに参加してよかったです

The meeting place was hard to find, and it took 20 minutes after the meeting time for the guide to finally show up. The guide only provided explanations in English, with no simple Japanese at all. I struggled to get used to putting on the snorkel and couldn't get into the water for a while. The guide mentioned that they couldn't take responsibility for those who couldn't swim, so they advised us not to swim. I think it would have been helpful to have a brief lecture on tips for breathing with the snorkel. Once we set sail, everything went smoothly, and we were able to see sea turtles coming up to the surface multiple times, which was amazing.

集合場所がわかりづらく、集合時間から20分経ってようやくガイドさんが出てきました。
ガイドは英語の説明のみで、簡単な日本語も一切無し。
シュノーケルの付け方に慣れず、なかなか海に入れないでいたら、泳げない人は責任が取れないから泳がないでほしい、と言った話をされましたが、シュノーケルの呼吸の仕方のコツなど簡単なレクチャーがあってもいいと思います。
出航してからの手際はよく、ウミガメは海面付近に何度も出てきたので間近で見れました。

It was great that it was easily accessible near Ala Moana Shopping Center. There were two groups of foreigners besides our family of five and another Japanese group. The crew members didn't understand Japanese at all, but it wasn't a problem.

I tend to get motion sickness easily and can even vomit on airplanes, so I took motion sickness medication the night before and 1 hour and 30 minutes before boarding. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling sick at all. However, the side effects of the medication made me very drowsy. Since it's a small boat, it sways quite a bit, so I recommend motion sickness medication even for those who usually don't get sick. I saw some people from other groups vomiting on the boat...

The amazing view from the sky is something I will never forget. The flying time is just over 5 minutes, but it's enough to enjoy. It's expensive, but it's worth it.

There was no specified amount for the tip, so I paid $20. The crew seemed happy, so I think that amount was sufficient.

アラモアナショッピングセンターの近くで、アクセスしやすいのがとても良かったです。
日本人グループは私たち5人家族ともう1グループ、あとは外国の方2グループでした。日本語が全く分からないクルーの方でしたが問題ありません。

乗り物酔いしやすく、飛行機でも嘔吐してしまうような体質なので、前日の夜と乗船1時間３０分前に酔い止めを服用しました。そのお陰か、全く酔うことなく楽しめました。ただ薬の副作用で眠気はすごかったです。小型船なのでかなり揺れますから、普段酔わない方も酔い止めをおすすめします。他のグループの方は、船上で嘔吐している方もいました…。



空から見た素晴らしい景色は、一生忘れません。飛んでいる時間は5分強？くらいですが充分楽しめます。高額ですが、それだけの価値があります。




チップは何ドルか指定されていなかったので、２０ドル支払いました。クルーの方が嬉しそうにしていたので、そのぐらいで充分なのかな？と思います。

The staff were amazing; friendly, funny and full of knowledge. Felt safe the whole time, and the sights themselves were amazing. Seeing sea turtles, sharks, eels, stingrays and schools of fish on sunken ships was amazing. Worth every penny.

They had water and bathrooms on the boat, just not on the sub. But time seems to fly by down there, you’re in a different world.

With a small group of up to five people, the transportation arrived on time, and communication was stress-free as we could converse only in Japanese. Although it was mid-September, there was a long line from the morning. The training went smoothly, and we were able to snorkel. Since it's difficult to make individual reservations locally, a tour that includes reservations is definitely the way to go. Additionally, snorkeling on Wednesdays is recommended because entry is prohibited until the day before, making it less crowded and beautiful. In the early morning, the water temperature is low, so wearing a wetsuit is more comfortable for Japanese people. It was so beautiful that I wished I could stay in longer; it was the best experience.

5人までの少人数で、送迎は時間通りに来てくれるし、日本語だけで意思疎通できるのでノンストレスでした。
9月中旬でしたが、朝から大行列。スムーズに講習を受けシュノーケルできるし、個人のネット予約は地元でも難しいので予約込みのツアーが絶対にいいです。
また、水曜日のシュノーケルは前日まで入場禁止のため綺麗でおすすめですし、早朝は水温が低いのでウェットスーツを着用した方が日本人には快適です。
もう少し長く入っていたいぐらい綺麗で最高でした。

It was a very powerful performance. In Hawaii, hula shows are held everywhere, but I don't think there are many fire dances using torches. It was a memorable show.

とても迫力ある演出でした。ハワイではそこかしこでフラショーが行われていますが、トーチを使ったファイアーダンスはあまり無いと思います。印象に残るショーでした。

The expensive seats are of course close to the stage, but I thought it was a good deal to be guided to the front rows if you line up early in the regular seats. The area is flat without any steps, and you watch the show while eating at a U-shaped buffet. There were six dancers and one host, which felt like a larger group than I expected. Both types of seats had the same buffet options. It seemed like the people in the expensive seats took their food first, followed by those in the regular seats. One fun service was that they offered to draw tattoos on your arm with a magic pen if you wanted!

価格が高い席はステージから近いのはもちろんだけど、普通席で列に早く並んで前の方の席に案内されたらお得だと思いました。段差がある訳でもなく平坦なところでU字でビュッフェを食べながらショーを見ます。ダンサーさんは6人で司会1人でそれを思ったより大勢でみる感じでした。ビュッフェはどちらの席も同じものを食べます。高い席の人から取っていき、普通席の人が取っていくという感じでした。楽しかったのは腕にマジックペンでタトゥーを書いてくれるサービスが希望すればあったことです！

First of all, I admit my own fault, but when I arrived at the meeting point exactly at 11:00 for the boat that was scheduled to depart at 11:00, it left right in front of me. In the end, I was able to change to the next boat an hour later.

As for the view from the submarine, the water clarity was low, and there were only a few fish; I saw a small shark once or twice at most. My 3-year-old child started to get bored after about 10 minutes, and the crew talked non-stop for an hour, which was quite painful for us since we didn't understand English. The foreign guests on board also seemed to be smiling awkwardly and didn't look like they were having much fun.

As an experience, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it once, but when I calmly looked back at the cost, I concluded that I definitely wouldn't do it a second time.

まずこれは自分も悪いんですが、
11時出発の船で11時ピッタリに集合場所に着いたら、目の前で出発されてしまいました。
最終的にはその1時間後の便に変更してもらえましたが。
あとは潜水艦から見える景色も透明度低く魚が少し、一度か二度だけ小さいサメが見えた程度。
3歳の子供は10分ほどで飽き始め、
クルーが1時間ずっと喋りっぱなしで、
英語わからない自分達にはかなり苦痛でした。
乗ってる外国の方も苦笑気味であんまり面白そうな感じではなかったです。
体験としては一度経験する事は止めないですが、冷静に金額見返したらまず2回目は無いよね。という結論に至りました。

I got confused about the meeting point in the harbor and ended up getting dropped off on the completely opposite side, which meant I had to run through the parking lot. I couldn't get through on the phone and ended up being late for the meeting time. However, the staff at the shop were incredibly kind and switched me with the next group, allowing me to fly safely. At one point, I was really worried about what would happen, but their kindness was truly reassuring.

Once we took off, we quickly ascended to a high altitude, and the feeling of being able to overlook Waikiki was amazing—like being at the highest point in Waikiki! After the enjoyable flight, we had the customary Japon, and at the end, everyone who was on the boat together took photos and chatted in a friendly atmosphere. There were so many fun things to do besides flying, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat.

ハーバー内の集合場所がわからず全く反対側でタクシーを降りてしまい駐車場内を走ることに。電話をしてもつながらず集合時間に遅刻してしまいました。
ただショップの方が大変親切で次の便の方と入れ替えてくれ無事飛ぶことができました。一時はどうなるかと肝を冷やしましたがとてもやさしくして頂き本当に心強かったです。
飛んでしまえば一瞬で高いところまで上がりワイキキを一望する気分は「ワイキキで一番高いところにいる！」という感じ。
楽しい遊覧の後はお約束のジャポンもあり、一緒にボートに乗った人たちとも最後は和気あいあいと写真を撮ったり話したり。飛ぶ以外にも楽しいことがたくさんありました。ボートからワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見たりできるのもよかったです。
