All Reviews for For 9 Year Olds

The boat sways a bit vertically, which can make you feel seasick, but the view from above is amazing. I will never forget it. The guide was also very kind, and I felt good enough to give a generous tip.

船は少し縦揺れが凄いので酔いますが、空からの長めは最高。
一生忘れません。
ガイドさんも親切で、チップ多めに渡すくらい気持ちよかったです。

I participated in an activity during my trip to Hawaii in September. Since it was a special occasion, I chose the 150-meter height. The weather was great, so the view was amazing.

Before we started, the guide took a photo of me flying with a professional camera, and there was a service that allowed us to purchase the data. Since it was a special occasion, I decided to buy it! For about $20, I got a lot of great photos, so it was definitely worth it.

I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

9月に旅行でハワイに行った際のアクティビティで参加しました。せっかくなので150mの高さを選びました。天気も良かったので最高の景色でした。
始まる前にガイドさんの一眼で飛んでいるところの写真を撮ってもらい、それをデータで買うことができるサービスの案内がありました。せっかくなので購入しました！20ドル程度でたくさん撮ってもらえたので非常に良かったです^_^

またハワイに行った際には参加したいです！

My two sons wanted to try surfing, so we signed them up for a lesson since it was their first experience. They received instruction in Japanese. It seemed quite difficult, but by the second day, they were able to ride the waves a little. According to them, it was a lot of fun!

息子2人がサーフィンしたいと言うので、初体験だったのでレッスンの体験を申し込み、日本語でレクチャーしてもらったそうです。
かなり難しかったみたいですが、2日目には波に少し乗れたそうです。
2人曰く、楽しかったそうです！

Parasailing was amazing! The captain and crew were very enthusiastic, and even though my fellow passengers were strangers, they chatted with me before and after parasailing. I was filled with anxiety, but it was so much fun.
(Note) Japanese is not well understood.

However, I waited for 45 minutes past the scheduled pickup time, so I would have appreciated an email or some form of communication if there was going to be a delay. I was left wondering whether they would come or not, and it felt like I was just waiting around...

パラセーリング、最高でした！
船長さんたちも盛り上げてくれ、同乗者は知らない人たちでしたがパラセーリングする前後に声かけてくれ、不安いっぱいでしたがとても楽しかったです。
(注)日本語はほぼ通じないです

但し、迎え予定時間から45分も待ったので遅れる場合はメールなどで連絡が欲しかったです。
来るのか来ないのか分からず、待ちぼうけになってしまったので…

For the English lesson, there were some details I didn't fully understand, but the instructors provided solid support, so I was able to enjoy surfing!

I was also happy that they took photos of me while surfing.

It was my first time surfing in the ocean, but I was able to stand up and had a great time!

英語でのレッスンのため、細かい事分からない部分もありましたが、インストラクターの方々がしっかりサポートしてくださるので、楽しくサーフィンできました！

サーフィンをしている姿を写真に撮ってくれるのも、嬉しいです。

海でサーフィンは初めてでしたが、立つ事ができ、楽しめました！

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。

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﹡))

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。

I thought dinner was included, but it turned out to be just a show without dinner, so I couldn't eat. The reservation site is confusing. I wanted to immerse myself in a Hawaiian mood and see the fire dance, so I made a reservation, but it was just a brief appearance at the very end. The performances by Elvis and Michael were long, and I was starting to think I might not get to see the fire dance at all. The dance was erotic and wonderful, but it was too stimulating for families with children.

Anyway, I'm really disappointed. I would have rather spent my money on something else.

夕飯付きだと思ったら夕飯なしのショーだけのタイプで食べられませんでした。予約サイトがわかりにくいです。ハワイアンな気分に浸りたくてファイヤーダンスをみたいと思い予約しましたが、最後の最後で一瞬の登場。それまでのエルビスやマイケルが長くて、もしかしたらファイヤーダンスは見れないのかと思っていたくらい。ダンスもエロティックで、素晴らしいけど子連れには刺激が強過ぎた。
とにかくがっかり。これなら別のことにお金払った。

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.

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。

I reserved VIP seats for myself, my 3-year-old child, and my parents. I thought the price for the child was high, but I was surprised that the meals for both the child and the adults were exactly the same. Next time, I would like to see a buffet option as well.

主人、子(3歳)、両親とVIP席を予約しました。子供の料金にしては、高いと思いましたが、子供と大人の料理が全く一緒だったので、驚きました。次はブュッフェでも、いいのでまた見たいと思いました。

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。

After a relaxing time at the beach, my daughter and I joined in, dressed up just a little. (laughs) The dinner was delicious. There was absolutely no stiffness at all. However, I thought it might be a bit disappointing for repeat visitors that there hasn't been any change in the menu for a long time. Also, while it's understandable if the place is full, I would appreciate it if the spacing between tables could be adjusted a bit when there is room available. As for the show, all the performers were wonderful. Presley had a friendly vibe. And above all, the beautiful smiles of the hula dancers, like flowers, always make me feel how amazing it is to come to Hawaii. Michael, who was one of the highlights, sounded just like him from the very first note, and I enjoyed listening nostalgically. The fire dance that appeared in the second half was also full of excitement, making it a very enjoyable time.

ビーチでのんびりとした後、娘と二人で参加しました、ほんの少しオシャレをして。(笑)
ディナーも、美味しく頂きました。堅苦しさなど全くありません。ただ、長い間、全くメニューに変化がないと言うことは、リピーターには少し残念なことなのでは？と思ったりしました。又、満席ならば仕方ありませんが、席に余裕がある場合は、臨機応変に、お隣とのテーブルの間隔を少し広げて頂ければ、有り難いなと感じました。ショーについては、演者の皆さん素敵でした。気さくな感じのプレスリー。そして、何より、フラの方達の花のような美しい笑みは、ハワイに来る度に、素晴らしいなぁと感じています 。
一番の楽しみでもあったマイケルも、第一声からソックリだったので、懐かしく聴き入りました。後半に登場するファイアーダンスも迫力満点で、とても楽しい時間になりました。

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

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 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！！

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！

The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it the perfect day for parasailing. However, both the boat and the parasailing were rockier than expected, and there were a few people on the boat who got sick. I also felt a bit seasick, but I managed to hold on. The view from the sky was absolutely amazing.

天気も良く波も穏やかで最高のパラセーリング日和でした。
しかし、予想以上に船もそしてパラセーリングも揺れて、船上で吐く人がチラホラいました。
私も船酔いしたのですが、なんとか持ち堪えました。
空からの眺めは申し分なく最高でした。

That day was clear from the morning, perfect for parasailing, and I was itching to go as soon as I woke up.

On the boat that towed the parachute, there were 11 participants, including us, but for some reason, my husband and I were chosen first. Maybe our excitement was showing on our faces.

Once we boarded the parachute and it was released, we soared into the sky in an instant! The speed was incredible, and it took me by surprise for a moment, but I hardly felt scared.

As we reached a certain height, it became so stable that it felt like sitting in a chair, and from there, it was a graceful aerial stroll.

The panoramic view of Diamond Head and the hotels of Waikiki far below was truly breathtaking.

Although parasailing is considered a marine sport, in reality, you just sit there, so I think it can be enjoyed easily by children and the elderly alike. It's not as scary as you might think!

This is definitely an activity that I want many people to experience when they come to Hawaii!

その日は朝から快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和で、起きたときから早くパラセイリングをしたくてウズウズしてました。

その日のパラシュートをけん引するボートには、私たちを含む11名の参加者がいたのですが、なぜか私たち夫婦が1番手に指名。
よほどウズウズが顔に出ていたのかもしれませんね。

さて私たちが乗り込んだパラシュートが解き放たれると、あっという間に大空に向けてブワーっと浮上！
ものすごい勢いなので一瞬ドキッとはしましたが、ほとんど怖さは感じませんでした。

そしてある程度の高さまで行くとまるでイスに座っているかのように安定するので、そこからはもう優雅な空中散歩です。

ダイヤモンドヘッドもワイキキのホテル群も遠く眼下に見える大パノラマは、もう圧巻の一言でした。

パラセイリングはマリンスポーツとは言っても、実際はただ座っているだけなので、お子さんでもご年配の方でも気軽に楽しめると思います。
思っているより怖くないです！

ハワイに来たら多くの方に絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティです！
