All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

We participated as a group of five. Since we were the last ones, we got completely soaked, to the point where we were dropped into the water (laughs). The previous groups barely got wet, or only their feet went into the water.

5組での参加でした。私たちは一番最後だったので、頭までずぶ濡れになるほど、水の中に落としてもらえました（笑）それまでの組みは全然濡れなかったり、足だけが水の中に入ったり。

The tour of the filming locations for Jurassic World was more fun than I expected. Only those who have experienced it can understand how enjoyable it is. It was unfortunate that it rained, but it was still worth going. Having a Japanese guide made me feel at ease, and I had a great time. I created the best memories. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate.

ジュラシックワールドのロケ地巡り、思った以上に楽しかったです。どんな風に楽しいのかは、体験した人にしか分からないですね。
雨が降ったのは残念でしたがそれでも行く価値はありました。
日本語ガイドさんなので安心もできましたし、楽しく過ごせました。最高の思い出が出来ました。
またハワイに行ったら是非、参加したいです。

We take a boat out to the submarine. We glide past canoes and surfers, enjoying views of Honolulu's beaches and cityscape, as well as Diamond Head from the sea before boarding. We also enjoyed a short cruise. At the bottom of the ocean, there are not only fish but also sea turtles and eels...

潜水艦に乗る沖合まで船で行きます。
カヌーや波乗りの横をすり抜け、ホノルルのビーチと街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から眺めてから乗船です。短い時間のクルーズも楽しめました。
海の底には、魚のほかにもウミガメやウツボも、、、

This was my first surfing experience in Hawaii, even though I've been there several times! The group lessons with Hands Heideman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons were so much fun, as the instructors helped us a lot and made it easy to ride the waves. I want to make this a routine every time I come to Hawaii from now on!＼(^^)／ I think it would be difficult to enjoy surfing like that without the instructors. Everything, including the timing, was just perfect, and I am truly satisfied. I can't find any complaints. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy the Hawaiian sea even more than usual!! ✩.*˚ Thank you so much! ((﹡ˆ︶ˆ﹡))

ハワイは何度と行かせてもらっていながら、はじめてのハワイサーフィン体験でした！
ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィンレッスンさんのグループレッスンは、インストラクターのみなさんがたくさん助けてくれて、並に乗らせてくれるので、
とっても楽しくて、これからは毎回、ハワイにきたときのルーティンにしたいです！＼(^^)／
インストラクターのみなさんがいなければ、あんな風にサーフィンを楽しめることは難しいと思います。時間もすべてが、ちょうどよくて、ほんとに大満足です。不満がみつかりません。おかげで、いつもよりもハワイの海を満喫することも出来ました！！✩.*˚ ありがとうございました((﹡ˆ︶ˆ﹡))

Seeing the turtles was so fun and the guys that helped us get all set were amazing. They filled our drinks after and made she we were well taken care of.

It was my first time, and I was nervous, but I had the best time enjoying the wonderful scenery and the ocean while on the boat. I definitely want to try parasailing again. When I come to Hawaii next time, I will absolutely do it again.

初めてで、ドキドキしましたが、ボートに乗ってる時も素敵な景色と海を満喫出来て最高でした。
パラセイリングも、是非、又やりたいと思いました。
次回ハワイに来たときには、絶対又やります。

It was my first time snorkeling, but they were very kind and taught me well, allowing me to enjoy it. I'm glad I chose to do it here; I felt safe. The two instructors were friendly and approachable, and they were amazing. Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても親切に教えて下さり、楽しむことができました。
ここで頼んでよかったです、安心です。
インストラクターのお二人が親切で親しみやすく最高でした、ありがとうございました。

My husband, our 5-year-old child, and I signed up for the 120m parasailing. I thought our child might be scared since it was their first time, but they are good with roller coasters and enjoyed it without any fear, saying they want to do it again! The boat does sway quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick.

夫、私、5歳の子の3人で120mを申込みました。子どもはパラセーリングが初めてだったので、怖がるかと思いましたが、ジェットコースター等は得意な方なので、全く怖がらずにまた乗りたい！と楽しんでくれました。
船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は厳しいかもしれません。

The guide was fun and friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the sky! The view of Diamond Head and the hotels from up high was exceptional.

ガイドの方も楽しく親切で、空の散歩を満喫しました！
高いところから見る、ダイヤモンドヘッドやホテル群は格別でした。

This was the highlight of my trip! I loved it, so much fun and the view was amazing! Not for those without a strong stomach though or plenty of seasickness meds on board as the boat ride was a little rough. I think I was one of the only one’s who didn’t have a problem with it! Definitely worth trying especially since you can get hotel pick up and drop off as well as optional pictures which was nice.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and lots to see on this tour.

Welcome drink (juice or Mai Tai)
→ Buffet-style dinner
→ Enjoy the show
This is basically the flow of the evening.
The prices vary depending on the seats, but you could see the stage from any seat.
The show included hula dancing, singing, audience participation, and a grand finale with fire dancing—there was so much to enjoy!
It was the perfect show to enjoy a night in Hawaii.
After watching the show, you receive a discount voucher for the bar next door at the Hilton, so you can savor a drink while relishing the afterglow of the show... it was just fantastic!

ウェルカムドリンク（ジュースかマイタイ）
→ビュッフェ形式で夕食
→ショーを鑑賞
基本はこんな流れです。
席によって値段が違いますが、どの席からでもステージが見れました。
ショーはフラダンスあり、歌あり、お客さんを引っ張り出しての余興あり、ラストのファイアーダンスまで盛りだくさん！
ハワイの夜を楽しむには最高のショーでした。
ショーを鑑賞した後は、隣のヒルトンにあるバーの割引券がもらえるので、ショーの余韻を感じながら一杯・・・なんて最高なこともできたり。

The school teacher was very kind and taught us well, and all the staff were nice, creating a great atmosphere!! My wife and I went together, and both of us were able to stand up; it was truly the best school! I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii!

スクールの先生は丁寧に教えてくださり、スタッフの方皆さんいい方でとても雰囲気が良かったです！！
妻と2人で行ったのですが、2人とも立つことが出来て本当最高なスクールでした！
またハワイに行った時には行きたいと思います！

There were various happenings before boarding the submarine, which was quite amusing. Exploring underwater in the submarine was very enjoyable, and the children were wide-eyed watching. The fish swarming around the artificial reef and the sea turtles looked very cute. I would love to see it again with my family.

潜水艦に乗るまでに色々ハプニングあり面白かったです。
潜水艦で海中探索とても楽しく子供たちが目を丸くして見ていました、
人工漁礁に群がる魚や、ウミガメがとても可愛く見ていました、また家族で見たいと思います。

The weather was cloudy and the scenery wasn't great, but the greenery was still expansive! It was a tour that movie lovers, as well as others, could enjoy! I definitely want to try again on a sunny day!

天気は曇天で景色がいまいちでしたが、それでも広がる緑！
映画好きの方はもちろん、それ以外の方も楽しめるツアーでした！
次は天気のいいときにリベンジしたいところです！

I went for the 150m! The view was great, and it was just the right amount of thrill, so I had a lot of fun! The crew member on the boat didn't seem to speak Japanese and started with a strong "We're going to drop you in, okay?" I was dropped about two times to the point where my lower body got wet, haha. I don't think my makeup came off, so that's a relief.

I was able to hold my GoPro while riding, but I was told it was at my own risk not to drop it. I rode with a group of Japanese people and what seemed to be a Korean couple, and we were lucky to exchange photos via AirDrop. They were also selling the photos taken with a digital camera from below on the way back, and I could buy one for 3,000 yen after checking how it turned out! I usually get motion sickness easily, but I didn't feel sick at all this time, probably because the driver was really skilled! ⭐︎

150mにしました！景色もよく、程よいスリルで楽しかったです！
日本語は話せなそうな船上員さんで有無を言わさず、ボチャンするからね、いいよね！くらいの勢いでスタート。下半身が濡れる程度に2回ほど落とされました笑
化粧は取れないと思いますので安心です。
GoPro手に持って乗れましたが、落とさないように自己責任とのことです。
一緒に乗ったのは日本人のグループとおそらく韓国人のカップルで、お互いに取り合ってエアドロップで送ってもらえたのでラッキーでした。下からデジカメで撮ったものも帰り際販売していて、写り確認してから三千円で購入出来ます！
普段酔いやすいですが、操縦が上手かったのか全然酔いませんでした⭐︎

**Parasailing**
It was my first experience, and it was so much fun! The scenery was beautiful, and it felt great. I thought I would only be dropped into the sea at the end, but thanks to the captain's service, I got to splash down twice during the ascent and at the end! The immersion was just right, and I could really feel the captain's skill. The airtime was long, and I was very satisfied with the experience!
There were 10 participants in total, including 9 Japanese people and 1 Australian, which included our group of four. The Australian seemed experienced and flew solo. The three-person rides also looked like a lot of fun.

**Photography**
I took photos from the sky with a GoPro and my smartphone, and my family took pictures from the boat, so I declined the staff's photography service. Only one group among the participants requested photography.

**Transportation & Items**
Since transportation to the hotel was included, I participated in a swimsuit and T-shirt. The driver was very cheerful and had a great service spirit, making the round trip enjoyable. I took motion sickness medication based on everyone's experiences and was able to enjoy it without feeling sick until the end. I also applied sunscreen very carefully. The Hawaiian sun is strong, and I felt like I was getting roasted.
A towel is needed for the car ride back. Those who forgot it used the clothes they were wearing on top.

I plan to participate again when I visit Hawaii!

【パラセーリング】
初体験でしたが、とーっても楽しかったです。景色もキレイで、気持ちが良かったです。
海に落とされるのは最後だと思っていたのですが、船長さんのサービスで上昇途中と最後の計2回ジャポンしてもらいました♪絶妙な浸かり具合で、船長さんのスキルを感じました。滞空時間も長く、満足の内容でした！！
参加者は、私達4人を含めた日本人9人とオーストラリア人1人の計10人でした。オーストラリアの方は乗り慣れているようで、1人で飛んでいました。また、3人乗りも楽しそうでした。
【撮影】
GoProとスマホで上空から撮影し、ボート上からは家族に撮影してもらったので、スタッフさんの撮影はお断りしました。
参加者の中で撮影をお願いしていたのは1組だけでした。
【送迎・持ち物】
宿泊ホテルへの送迎がついていたので、水着＋Tシャツで参加しました。ドライバーさんがとても明るく、サービス精神旺盛で、往復の時間も楽しめました。
みなさまの体験談を参考に、酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。最後まで酔うことなく楽しめました。
日焼け止めもかなり丁寧に塗りました。ハワイの日差しは強く、ジリジリと焼けている感じがしました。
帰りの車で敷くタオルが必要です。忘れた方は上に着ていた洋服を敷いていました。

またハワイに遊びに行く際には参加しようと思います！

I had previously experienced parasailing in Okinawa, but the parasailing in Hawaii was on a different scale in terms of scenery and height! Since you don't need to control anything or exert much effort, I especially recommend participating at 150 meters for those who are not particularly anxious.

The weather was great, so I was able to see the ocean stretching to the horizon, the resort area with hotels, and Diamond Head clearly. They picked us up in front of the hotel, and a group of 6 to 8 people boarded the boat, taking turns to fly up into the sky. Once everyone in the group had their experience, we returned to the port and were taken back to the hotel in a shared minibus.

I was able to request in advance to join the same group as acquaintances who were participating at 100 meters, which was helpful. Most of the other participants and the local tour guides spoke mainly in English, so I couldn't catch all the explanations, but they communicated basic instructions in Japanese, like "sign here," "put this on," and "lift your legs," so I didn't feel particularly anxious.

One thing to note is that there was someone from another group who got seasick and looked exhausted at the port, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. Also, when they asked if it was okay to get wet, if you respond with "okay," they will add an action that submerges you in the water up to your waist, so if you're okay with that, I suggest bringing a bath towel or something light to wear. The shuttle bus has air conditioning, so if you're wet, it can get quite cold. There isn't really a place or timing to change, so having something to wear during the ride would be good.

The duration of the activity is short, and no special preparations are needed, so I especially recommend it for those who are unsure about what to do.

以前沖縄でもパラセーリングは体験済みでしたが、ハワイでのパラセーリングは景色も高さもスケールが違いました！
自分でコントロールしたり、力が必要だったりということもないので、特に不安がない方は150メートルでの参加をオススメします。
天気も良かったので地平線が続く海とホテルが集まったリゾート地区、ダイアモンドヘッドまでしっかり見ることができました。
ホテル前でピックアップしてもらい、6から8人が1組でボートに乗り込み、順番で上空へ飛ぶという流れです。同船全組の体験が終われば港に戻ってきて、同じように小型バスに乗合ってホテルまで送っていただけます。
事前に問い合わせで依頼し、100メートルで参加する知り合いのグループと同じ組で参加することができ、助かりました。他の参加者も現地のツアー開催者の方たちも英語がメインでしたので説明が全く聞き取れませんでしたが、ここにサイン書いてーや、これ付けてー、足あげてー、等基本的な部分は日本語で話してくれるので特別不安になることはなかったです。
気になることがあるとすれば、他の組の方で船に酔われて港でぐったりされている方がおられたので、気になる方は事前に酔い止め服用がいいかと思います。また、ビショビショオーケー？と聞かれた際、オーケーと答えると腰くらいまで海に浸かるようなアクションを加えてもらえるのですが、その気であればバスタオルか軽く羽織るものを準備するかといいかと思います。送迎のバスはクーラーが効いているので濡れたままだとかなり冷えます。着替えるような場所やタイミングはないので、移動中羽織るくらいのものがあればと思います。

所用時間も短く、事前準備も特に必要ないので何をしようか迷われている方に特にオススメです。

There are no Japanese staff members, but they explained things to us in simple Japanese! I read in reviews that people get motion sickness, so I took motion sickness medication on the bus! The boat rocked a lot, but thanks to the medication, I didn't feel sick at all. There was music playing on the boat, and the staff even high-fived us, which really boosted our spirits! It was 150 meters high, which felt really high, haha. But the view was incredibly beautiful, and it felt amazing. I want to do it again!! It ended so quickly, haha.

スタッフの方は日本人いませんが、私たちには日本語で簡単に説明してくれます！口コミで酔うと書いてあったので酔い止めはバスの中で飲みました！船がめちゃくちゃ揺れましたが、酔い止めのおかげか全然気持ち悪くならなかったです。船上は音楽がかかっててノリノリだし、スタッフの方もハイタッチとかしてくれてテンションが上がる！150mでしたがめっちゃ高い笑笑 けど景色はめちゃくちゃ綺麗だし最高に気持ちよかったです。またやりたい！！あっとゆうまに終わっちゃいました笑

Beautiful day with really lovely and funny hosts. Hosts were very awesome. Wish we could have done this activity for longer. Really fun day. No complaints from me. Would definitely recommend

I participated with my family of three (my wife, our fifth-grade son, and myself) during the flying stone holiday in October. In the past, I had gone on a company trip to Guam and watched a luau at a certain domestic place, and I wanted to show my family that experience, especially since it included a meal.

◇ Good Points
- About half of the participants were Japanese, which allowed us to somewhat feel like we were abroad in Hawaii.

◇ Disappointing Points
- The show’s production was too tailored to American tastes, making it hard to feel the essence of Hawaii.
- The food was also very American.
* I was expecting luau dishes (like roasted pig), but...
- I opted for the economy course to save money, but the difference in service compared to the higher-tier course was too stark (though this might be due to the price difference).
* In the higher-tier course, seats are closer to the front, and the seating and buffet meal guidance are prioritized. Additionally, leis are given to everyone, making the visual difference between us common folks and others painfully clear and causing unnecessary feelings of inferiority.

◇ Overall Impression
I found the production very disappointing, and the fire dance show I saw at the certain domestic place might have been more impressive. I thought I was paying a decent amount for Hawaii, but I only got one welcome Mai Tai, and I regretted that I would have been better off having a steak outside. Well, my wife and son were happy, so I guess that’s okay...

◇ Additional Note
By the way, there is a bar where you can buy drinks with cash if you want, so parents who enjoy alcohol can rest assured.

１０月の飛石連休の中で家族三人（嫁＋小五息子＋自分）と参加しました
過去、自分だけ社員旅行で行ったグアムと○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）でルアウを観ていて、家族にも見せたいという思いと食事付きという内容により参加しました。

◇良かったところ
・ハワイにしては日本人の参加者が半分位で外国に来た気分が多少味わえました。

◇残念なところ
・ショーの演出がアメリカ人好みの演出すぎてあまりハワイを感じられなかった。
・食事もアメリカン
　※ルアウ料理（子豚ちゃんの丸焼き？など）を期待していたのに・・・
・値段をケチってエコノミーコースを申し込んだのですが、上のコースとのサービスの差が激しすぎる（これは値段の差なのでしょうがないかも）
　※上級コースだと席が前の方というのもあるけど、席への案内も食事（ブュッフェ式）の案内も先。さらにレイが全員にプレゼントされ、我々庶民との差がビジュアル的に一目瞭然で余計な劣等感を感じてしまう。

◇総評
自分としては演出がとても残念だったし、ファイヤーダンスなどは寧ろ「○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）」でみたショーの方が迫力があったかも。
ハワイでもそこそこの値段を払ったつもりなのに、酒 もウェルカムマイタイの一杯だけで、普通に外でステーキでも食べた方が良かったと後悔しています。
まぁ、嫁と小五の息子は喜んでいたからまぁ良いか・・・

◇補足
ちなみに、お酒はバーがあって飲みたければ現金払いでも買えるのでお酒好きのお父さんお母さんはご安心ください。

My first surfing experience in life.

I was skeptical about whether I could actually stand on the board, but the tour introduction was not misleading at all.

My young son was also able to stand on the board, and we had a truly valuable experience.

As a man in my forties with only skateboarding experience from my elementary school days, I was able to ride the waves, and I feel like I'm finally getting hooked on surfing.

人生初のサーフィン体験。

ちゃんとボードに立てるのか？
半信半疑だったのですが、
ツアーの紹介に嘘偽りはありませんでした。

幼い息子もボードに立てており、
とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。

これまで小学生時分に
スケードボードの経験しかない
四十路のおっさんですが全然波に乗れ、
遅まきながらサーフィンに嵌りそうです。

I had made a reservation for four people in the most expensive area, but when we arrived, there were no available seats for four. We ended up having to ask other guests who were already seated to move, creating a cramped seating arrangement. The location of our seats was only about a meter away from the regular seating area, and it was hardly different from the regular seats. In fact, the regular seats were more spacious and comfortable, which made for a very disappointing situation.

一番高額なエリアの席を事前に4名で予約をしていたのに、行ってみたら4名の席の空きがなく、既に着席している他のお客さんに移動をしてもらって詰め詰めの席をつくる始末。席の場所も、普通の席のエリアと1メートル程の通路を挟んだだけの位置で、普通の席とたいして変わらず、むしろ普通の席の方がゆったり座れるているという最悪の状況でした。

I convinced my husband, who is not fond of heights, to join, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the 6-minute flight with great views and a pleasant breeze. Thank you very much.

高いところが苦手な夫を説得しての参加でしたが、6分間の空の旅は眺めもよく 風も心地よく大変2人とも満喫出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎

想像以上に揺れました！そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎

I participated alone and even though my English is terrible, I had a great time! The staff were very kind and gave instructions using gestures and simple words, so it was no problem at all despite my lack of English. As a beginner, I was able to stand firmly on the board and it felt wonderful! I would love to participate again when I come back to Waikiki! Thank you very much!

一人で参加&英語は全くダメでも、楽しめました！！
スタッフの皆さんとても親切で、身振りと単語で指示をくれるので、英語がダメでも全く問題ありませんでした。
初心者でも、しっかりボードの上に立てて気持ちよかったです♬
またワイキキに来る際には参加したいと思います！！
ありがとうございました！！

Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!

We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!

I was able to see a lot of fish, and it became my favorite memory from my trip to Hawaii! I’m not good at swimming, and it was my husband’s first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko's careful support while I was swimming, I was able to swim with peace of mind. I didn’t have an underwater camera, but Dan took many photos and kindly provided them through Facebook, which was a great help. Chieko and Dan were very cheerful, and the atmosphere during the tour was always pleasant and fun. Thank you so much!

たくさんのお魚が見れて、ハワイ旅行で1番楽しい思い出になりました！
私は泳ぐのが苦手で、夫はシュノーケリング初めてだったのですが、ちえこさんが泳いでいる間もずっと丁寧にサポートしてくださったおかげで、安心して泳ぎ切ることができました。
水中カメラを持っていなかったのですが、代わりにダンさんがたくさんの写真を撮ってFacebook通じて提供してくださるので大変助かります。
ちえこさんとダンさんがとても明るく、ツアー中ずっと和やかな雰囲気で楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。　

I was able to stand on the board properly! I took a semi-private lesson, so I was really tired, but I had a great time!

ちゃんとボードに立てました(^^)
セミプライベートレッスンを受講したので、めちゃくちゃ疲れたけど(笑)、存分に楽しませてもらいました！
