All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

This is my fifth visit to Hawaii after four years, but it was my first time at Hanauma Bay. Having experienced snorkeling in Miyako Island and the Great Barrier Reef, I underestimated it. Perhaps due to my age, I struggled with breathing through my mouth and even got seasick, so I was very grateful for the guide's assistance. The guide held my hand the whole time and helped me see a lot of colorful fish. Because Hanauma Bay is protected by nature, you can observe the fish eating the food stuck to the rocks. Even at over 60 years old, I felt safe with the guide's support. However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.

ハワイは4年ぶり5回目になりますが、ハナウマ湾は初めて行きました。
宮古島やグレートバリアリーフでシュノーケルを体験していたので甘く考えていたら、歳のせいか口呼吸は上手くいかず、しかも波酔いまでしてしまいガイドさんに大変お世話になりました。
ガイドさんがずっと手を繋いで案内をしてくださり、色とりどりの魚をたくさん見ることができました。ハナウマ湾は自然が守られているため、魚が岩についた餌を食べている様子を見ることができます。
60歳を過ぎていてもガイドさんがサポートしてくださるので安心です。ただし、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでの参加をおすすめします。

We went with a group of good friends. We had such a good time. The waves were perfect. Will go again when we are in Oahu.

I was afraid of heights, but it wasn't scary at all. It was a really fun time. The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from up high. I definitely want to do it again!

高い所が苦手でしたが、全然怖くなかったです。
とっても楽しい時間でした。
天気も良くて高い所からワイキキを眺めることができてぜひともまたやってみたいです〜

I participated with my wife.

It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.

The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.

There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.

妻と二人で参加しました。

小型のボートで１時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。

上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います！晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。

総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。

I couldn't make a reservation on my own, so I asked Beltora, which I'm familiar with. The result was absolutely correct. The transportation, luggage, and procedures were stress-free. And above all, the precise and safe instruction during the transfers and at sea was truly appreciated. Thank you, Chieko and Dan!

個人での予約が出来ず慣れ親しんだベルトラさんに依頼　結果　大正解　移動　荷物　手続き等のストレスフリー　そして何より移動中、また海での的確　安全　なインストラクティング　いゃ〜ありがたかったです
千恵子さん　ダンさん　ありがとうございました

I had an amazing time the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & Honolulu city Tour was more than informative. Our tour guide was awesome and she just knew what she was doing and talking about. I would do it again with her as the tour guide. LEI Thank you for being soooooooooo informative.

The Starlight Luau changed locations since the last time we visited Hawaii, which made the experience more intimate and explosive. Our family felt like they were a part of the show. The food was exquisite, and the dancers were more than entertainers; they passionately expressed their culture and made you feel like family.

Beautiful night, crew had loads of energy made the night that much better. Would recommend to others and do again.

It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.

The ticket booth was a bit hard to find, but a kind person nearby helped me out.

I don't understand English, but it was totally fine! My mother, who is in her 60s, was also very happy.

少し遠かったですが、砂浜沿いにワイキキから歩いていけました
もっと怖いかと思っていたのですが、とても気持ちよかったです！
ただ、船がかなり揺れるので乗り物酔いのある人にはきついかもしれません。前後の食事にも注意が必要です。
チケットブースが少し分かりづらかったのですが、近隣の親切な人が教えてくださいました。

英語はわかりませんが、全然大丈夫でした！
60代の母もとても喜んでいました。

It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.

とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ？の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。

What an exciting adventure for our first-time parasailors! Our 8 & 5 year old granddaughters had the time of their lives parasailing with their Grammy! They loved seeing a green sea turtle as well as all the wonderful scenery of Oahu! The crew was kind and humorous. We had a wonderful experience!

Everything was great, staff was friendly. We went first thing in the morning so we got the boat to our selfs. Definitely not as scary as it seems! And I was SUPER scared at first, but I think I would definitely do it again! Recommend to get the pictures, they came out great!

It was the best experience for my first time. The crew members were fun and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii for both my wife and me. There was also a photo session (for an additional fee), and we are still enjoying it after returning home.

初めての体験で最高でした。
クルーのお兄さん(？)も楽しい方々で、盛り上げて頂きました。家内共々良いハワイの思い出となりました。写真撮影もあり(別料金)、帰宅後も楽しんでます。

We departed from the hotel (Moana Surfrider) at 7:30 for an 8:30 meeting. If you go from Kalakaua Avenue through the Fort DeRussy Boardwalk, you'll reach the parking lot where you can easily see the parasailing sign. It took us about 40 minutes to walk there at a leisurely pace.

The view from 150 meters was spectacular, offering a panoramic view from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head! I was able to take videos by putting my smartphone in a waterproof case. There was also a Japanese person on the same boat, so we took pictures of each other, saving the $40 photo fee.

I've visited Hawaii about five times, but this was my first parasailing experience. I recommend it for both first-timers and repeat visitors!

朝8:30集合のため、ホテル（モアナサーフライダー）を7:30に出発しました。カラカウア通りからフォート・デロシー・ボードウォークを通って行くと駐車場に出て、パラセーリングの看板が見えるので分かりやすいと思います。ゆっくり歩いて行けば40分程で着きました。
150mからの景色は絶景で、ワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドベッドまで一望できました！防水ケースにスマホを入れて動画も撮影できました。同じ船に日本人の方がいらっしゃったのでお互い写真を撮りあったので40ドルの撮影代を節約できました
ハワイは5回ほど訪れてますが、初めてのパラセーリングでした初めての方にもリピーターの方にもオススメです

The scenery was better and the height was great compared to when I did it in Okinawa. The instructor was also fun, which was nice.

沖縄でやった時より
景色も良く、高さもあって
最高でした。
インストラクターの方も
楽しい方で良かったです

easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

It flies higher than I imagined. Before departure, there was a light drizzle, but by the time we took off, the weather was clear. From above, you can see both Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, which is a spectacular view. The wind was strong, and the aircraft swayed side to side in the air, making me feel a bit nauseous along the way.

Of course, it's advisable for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication in advance, as there can be turbulence in the air as well.

While flying, there is also a photo service available upon request. They take over 80-100 photos, and for $40, you get the data download and a memory card. Due to an incident where another passenger on the boat got sick while we were flying, we only had 42 photos taken, so we bought them for half price at $20. You can check the photos before deciding to purchase, so I think it's a good idea to request them and buy if you're satisfied.

想像以上に高く飛びます。出発前は霧雨がぱらついていましたが出発時には晴天。上からはダイアモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも一望できて壮観です。風が強くて上空で左右に揺れるので途中で酔いそうになりました。
船はもちろんですが、上空での揺れにも備えて乗り物酔いに弱い方は事前の酔い止めの服薬をおすすめします。
飛んでいる間は頼めば写真撮影サービスもあります。80-100枚以上撮影してくれてデータダウンロードとメモリーカード付で$40です。
私たちは飛んでいる間に船上の別のお客さんが吐いちゃうというアクシデントのため42枚しか撮影してもらえなかったので半額の$20で売ってもらいました。購入を決断する前に写真の確認をさせてもらえるので一応頼んでおいて納得できたら購入するという形でもいいと思います。

I make a reservation every time I come to Hawaii. Especially while waiting for the sunset, enjoying my favorite sparkling wine, Hawaiian beer, and cocktails is the best.

ハワイに来る度に予約してます
特にサンセットを待ちながらゆっくり好きなスパークリング、ハワイビール、カクテル三昧は最高です

The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.

日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。

Let's start with the boat - Fabulous & modern, a vessel to be admired. The captain and crew - freaking amazing, patient, kind, informative, went above and beyond. Took us right out to the sea turtles. It was a perfect day with perfect hosts and an experience we will never forget.

What disappointed me with this trip was the last minute change of pick up to another location due to an event but after careful observation, that said event does not affect the area where we were at because a lot of other tour companies are picking their guests in front of our hotel. Despite my plea, it wasn't attended to. The staff and Manager were stern not to accommodate a simple request.

The long-awaited parasailing was enjoyable, and the journey to the point was fun as well. I also felt that the airtime was longer than expected. However, while they took photos for us, the quality felt a bit rushed considering the high price for the photo service. Additionally, there was a strong push for tips, which was a bit off-putting.

念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。

We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。

The crew was very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about Hawaiian culture from them.

At first, I felt scared, but the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. People of a certain age can try it safely. I recommend it.

はじめは怖く感じましたが、空の上から見るハワイの景色は最高でした。ある程度の年齢でも安心にトライできますよ。おすすめします。

We went quite far out on the boat and took off from it! The boat swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but from below, the height of 120 meters surprisingly felt high, and it was more terrifying than just feeling seasick. (laughs) Once in the air, I was healed by the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea. They took photos from the boat, which I purchased later for $40. It was over in no time, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ボートで結構沖まで進み船の上から飛び立ちました！波でボートは結構揺れましたが、120mの高さは下から見ていると案外高く、恐怖で船酔いどころではなかったです。笑
飛んでみると山と海の綺麗な景色に癒されました。船から写真を撮影してくださり、後から購入しました。(40ドル)あっという間でしたが、楽しい経験になりました。

We participated in our first snorkeling experience as a couple. The tour started at 12 PM with 9 participants and 2 instructors (Chieko and Dan). The weather was clear and sunny. We were able to swim for a full hour in deep water due to high tide. They also took photos underwater, which created great memories.

My wife was worried because she is not a strong swimmer, but Chieko held her hand while she got used to it and always made sure to check on her when they separated. Towards the end, when my wife wanted to return early due to fatigue, Chieko guided her back to the shore properly.

I actually started to feel seasick midway through, but for those who are not used to it or feel anxious, it seems advisable to take motion sickness medication as mentioned in the items to bring.

Our first snorkeling experience was very enjoyable and felt like a new world. Both instructors were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied with the tour. Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリングを夫婦で参加しました。
12時スタートのツアーで参加者は9人、インストラクターは2名（チエコさん、ダンさん）でした。天気は快晴。満潮で深いところまで行けて1時間たっぷり泳ぐことができました。水中では撮影もしていただけていい思い出が残りました。
妻は水泳が得意ではなく心配していましたが、慣れないうちはチエコさんがずっと手を取って泳いでくださり、離れる時にも必ず声をかけてくださいました。終盤に体力が持たず先に戻りたい旨を伝えると、また手を取って浜辺まできちんと誘導してくださいました。
実は私は中盤から波酔いをしてしまったのですが、慣れない方や不安な方は持ち物の中にも書いてあるように事前に酔い止め薬をのむと良さそうです。
初めてのシュノーケリングはとても楽しく新世界でした。インタストラクターのお二方もとても親切で、とても満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I took anti-nausea medication in advance, but I still got sick. However, the scenery was breathtaking, and I had a wonderful experience! During the parasailing, I felt no fear at all and was able to take pictures of the view with my iPhone.

酔いやすい体質なので酔い止め薬を事前に飲みましたが酔ってしまいました。
ですが、景色は絶景で貴重な体験が出来て楽しかったです！
パラセイリング中は怖さは一切なくiPhoneで景色も撮影する事ができました。

Four groups ride the same boat out to the ocean and take turns jumping in, but the waiting time is also filled with fun moments with people from various countries. Moreover, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean is breathtaking! The time spent flying went by in an instant, but the stable flight in the air and the playful spirit when coming down are full of enjoyment.

4組が同じボートに乗って沖まで行き順番に飛んでいくのですが、待っている時間も色々な国の方達と楽しい時間。更に沖から見渡すワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景！
飛んでいる時間はあっという間でしたが、上空では安定したフライトと降りてくる時の遊び心は楽しみ満載です。
