All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I participated in a private lesson with three people. The instructors, despite their limited Japanese, provided enjoyable advice, and by the end of the hour, I was able to ride the waves. I finished feeling very satisfied and created wonderful memories.

３人のプライベートレッスンで参加しました。インストラクターの方々は、片言の日本語ながら楽しくアドバイスしてくださり、１時間の中で波に乗れるようになり、大満足で終えました。最高の思い出が作れました。

Although the height of 150 meters was intimidating, it didn't ascend at the speed of a roller coaster, allowing me to enjoy the scenery. I was worried about whether I could experience it while wearing glasses, so I brought prescription goggles, but I think glasses would probably be fine too. However, if you fall, you won't be able to retrieve them. They took many photos, which made for great memories.

150mという高さに怖さもありましたが、ジェットコースターのような速さで登ることはなく、景色を楽しめました。
メガネをかけていても体験できるのかと不安に思い、度付きのゴーグルを持っていきましたが、たぶんメガネでも大丈夫です。ただ、落ちても回収はできません。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり良い思い出になりました。

I couldn't stop feeling excited since we set off on the boat, and when it was time to fly, my excitement was through the roof! It was quite high and a bit bumpy, giving it a thrilling attraction-like feeling! The view of Waikiki and Honolulu from the sea was breathtaking! It felt great when we briefly touched down on the water as we landed! It was an amazing experience! 😊

船で出発してからワクワクが止まらず、いざ飛ぶときはとてもテンション上がりました！
結構高く、揺れるのでアトラクションみたいな感覚もありました！海側から見たワイキキ、ホノルルは絶景でした！
降りるときに一瞬海に着水するときも気持ちよかったです！
最高の体験でした😊

Food 4/10
Show 10/10

Food can be better. Show is great and you should add the pictures at discounted as part of the deal.

It was my first time parasailing, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. The reception and boarding staff can communicate in English, and they speak in simple English, so there’s no need to worry too much. You place your belongings at your feet, so I recommend not bringing anything you don’t want to get wet or putting them in a waterproof case. During parasailing, there’s hardly any swaying, but the boat does rock, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. Also, if there are many participants, the boarding time can be longer, so it’s a good idea to bring motion sickness medication.

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、とても楽しい体験になりました。
受付・乗船スタッフは英語対応になりますが、簡単な英語で話してくれるため、あまり心配しなくても大丈夫でした。荷物は足元に置くので、濡れたくないものは持って行かないか、防水ケースにいれるといいと思います。パラセーリング中はほとんど揺れませんが、船は揺れるので酔いやすい人は注意です。また、参加組数が多いと乗船時間が長くなるため、酔い止めを持参するといいと思います。

I wanted to try parasailing in Hawaii! The boat sways a lot, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. It wasn't scary at all, just a lot of fun. You can see Diamond Head, and the scenery is amazing! The instructor was cheerful and made it enjoyable. I want to do it again someday! Thank you very much.

ハワイでやってみたかったパラセーリング！船はすごく揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んでいた方がいいです。全然怖く無くてただただ楽しかったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドが見えたり、景色も最高！インストラクターも陽気で楽しかった。またいつかやりたいです！ありがとうございました。

The driver spoke English and was very kind! No need to worry if you can't speak English! The view from the top is amazing!

英語のドライバーさんでしたがとっても優しかったです！英語が喋れなくても心配ありません！
頂上からの景色も最高です！

I thought it was very enjoyable and a great experience, but it was shorter than the promised time, and I was disappointed that we were instructed to get off without any warning, as the next group was boarding immediately. It felt like it ended abruptly.

とても楽しくて体験できて良かったと思いますが、提示の時間より短くて、予告もなく降りるように指示され直ぐに次のグループが乗り込む感じだったのが残念でした。急に呆気なく終わった感じでした。

We thoroughly enjoyed the shows featuring Hawaiian dance, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and more, and my two granddaughters were extremely satisfied! The reason is that Elvis appears in the animated movie "Lilo & Stitch," which is currently very popular among little kids, and there are many of his songs featured in the film. So, my granddaughters, aged 6 and 3, were overjoyed to see someone who looked just like Elvis right in front of them. Of course, the hula dance was also wonderful! This event was great! Thank you very much.

ハワイアンダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン等々のショーを堪能して、孫娘2人は、大満足でした！
　その理由は、今、ちびっ子の間で、大人気のリロ&ステッチのアニメ映画の中に、プレスリーが出ているし、プレスリーの歌う曲が映画の中にいっぱいでているんです。だから、6才と3才の孫たちは、そのプレスリーのそっくりさんが目の前に出てきて、大喜びでした。
勿論、フラダンスも素晴らしかったですよ！本企画、良かったです！ありがとうございました。

About 30 years ago, I went parasailing. All I remember is feeling seasick ^^; This time, I made sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding.

Parasailing while enjoying the familiar scenery of Waikiki was the best. I think the time was also sufficient.

The staff spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

３０年程前にパラセーリングをしたことがあります。
船で酔った事しか覚えてなく^^;
今回は酔い止めをちゃんと飲んで乗船。

見慣れたワイキキの風景を見ながらのパラセーリング最高でした。
時間も十分だったのだと思います。

スタッフさんも日本語が話せ安心です。

I'm glad I didn't get seasick. The initial moment of flying was thrilling. It was higher than I expected. Being dragged while touching the water was fun.

船酔いしないでよかった。飛ぶときの最初がスリル満点。思った以上に高かった。水つかりながら引きずられて面白かった。

On July 19th, during our trip to Hawaii, my family and I (a party of 12) attended the Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip.

From the start, the event felt more like a tourist trap than a cultural celebration. The performers wore plastic grass skirts and danced on astroturf, which cheapened the experience and made it feel like a stylized imitation rather than a tribute to Hawaiian tradition.

The buffet was just as underwhelming. The meats were dry and chewy, and several of us left our meals half-eaten. We all ended up searching for food elsewhere after the show.

When purchasing tickets, we noted that they included premier seating for the show—something we specifically chose so the younger members of our group could engage and see the performance clearly. However, we were seated near the back with no explanation. The seating appeared entirely random, and there was no effort to honor the premier designation.

The show itself was bizarre. It was supposedly a journey through Hawaiian music and culture, but the execution was confusing. While we expected an Elvis tribute, it felt like a full concert with song after song. Then came a Michael Jackson impersonator performing Thriller and several other full-length songs. We learned during the show that he once performed at Aloha Stadium, but the connection felt forced and irrelevant. A few of us dozed off, while others sat in disbelief trying to make sense of it.

The performance dragged on far too long. With a tighter runtime and focus on authentic Hawaiian culture, it could have been enjoyable. The fire dancer was the highlight, but came too late to redeem the evening.

Overall, this luau was inauthentic, overpriced, and not worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

I’m not good with the thrill of roller coasters, so I was honestly quite nervous before getting on. However, once I experienced it, there was almost no feeling of weightlessness or fear, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind!

Above all, the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky were truly amazing!

As others have mentioned, since there is some time spent on the boat, I think it’s a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medicine beforehand.

Photos cost $40, but they became a wonderful memory, so I’m really glad I purchased them!

ジェットコースターのようなスリルが苦手なので、正直乗る前はかなりドキドキしていましたが、実際に体験してみると浮遊感や怖さはほとんどなく、安心して楽しめました！
何より、上空から眺めるハワイの絶景は本当に素晴らしかったです！
ほかの方も書かれているように、船に乗っている時間があるので酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心だと思います。
写真は40ドルしますが思い出になったので、購入して本当によかったです！

A group of three close friends for 40 years. We had always wanted to visit Hawaii together, and this year, we celebrated our 60th birthdays and made that dream come true! We were moved by the beauty of Waikiki from the summit of Diamond Head. The journey to the top was not as tough as we expected, and even after turning 60, we were able to enjoy the scenery while climbing.

４０年来の仲良し３人組。
いつかは３人で行ってみたいと思っていたハワイ、今年還暦を迎え夢を実現させました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド山頂から見るワイキキの美しさに感動しました。
山頂までの道のりは思ったよりもキツくなく、還暦過ぎでも景色を楽しみながら登ることができました。

Jenny was very patient and kind with my 10 year old who had anxiety. This was a good beginner snorkel lesson!

The crew explained things to me in broken Japanese, which made me feel at ease while flying. Even while waiting in line on the boat, they entertained us in various ways, easing our fears and making it a truly enjoyable experience.
Challenging myself at a height of 150m, the view from the top of Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the deep blue ocean was incredibly beautiful!

クルーの方が片言の日本語で説明してくれたから安心して飛ぶ事が出来ました。
船上で順番待ちしている時も色々楽しませてくれて恐怖心も和らげてくれ本当に楽しませてもらいました。
高さ１５０mに挑戦
頂点からのワイキキビール、ダイヤモンドベッドそして真っ青な海がめっちゃ綺麗〜

This was my second time, following last year, and since I was familiar with the meeting place and the content, I enjoyed it as I expected. I went with my first grader, a second-year middle schooler, and my grandparents who are over 75, and I think it’s a suitable activity for both children and older adults. It seems that they group Japanese participants together. Last time was in the morning, so this time I chose a time just before noon when the scenery was nice, but the cobalt blue sea was still intimidating (150m). Last time, perhaps because my children were small, there wasn’t the usual pattern of dipping into the sea before going down, but this time that happened, and I was submerged more than I expected. My grandparents were submerged even more. So, those holding cameras need to be careful.

昨年に引き続き2回目で、集合場所も内容も把握していたので思った通り楽しめました。
小1、中2、75才を超えた祖父母とのぞみましたが、子どもにもご年配の方にもちょうどよいアクティビティだと思います。
どうやらこちらは、日本人は日本人のグループでまとめてくれるようです。
前回は朝だったので、今回は景色の良いお昼前を選んだのですが、コバルトブルーの海が相変わらず怖かったです(150m)
前回は子どもが小さいと思ったからか、降りる前に一回海にジャブンとつけるお決まりのパターンはなかったのですが、今回はそれがあり、思った以上に沈められました。
祖父母はさらに沈められていました。
なのでカメラを手に持つ方は注意が必要です。

I had an amazing time! They took a ton of great photos, and it became a wonderful memory! The people driving the boat and those who handled the photo data were very friendly and approachable. Thank you!

めっちゃ楽しかったです！
写真もすんごい沢山撮ってくれて、良い想い出になりました！
船を運転してる方達も写真データ受け渡しの方もとても気さくでフレンドリーで良い方達でした。
ありがとうございました！

I saw a certain idol enjoying this canoe in Hawaii, so I decided to try it out. As a result, riding the waves is so much fun!! Surfing and bodyboarding are difficult, but with this canoe, it's easy to experience. I was able to ride the waves three times.

某アイドルがハワイでこのカヌーを楽しんでいたので、体験してみました。
結果、波に乗るって楽しい！！
サーフィンやボディボードは難しいけど、このカヌーなら手軽に体験可能。
3回波に乗ることができました。

The weather was nice, and the view of the sea, sky, and Diamond Head was amazing. The boat rocked quite a bit, but I enjoyed it as if I were cruising. I recommend the 150-meter option, as it lasts significantly longer.

お天気も良く、海と空とダイヤモンドヘッドの見晴らし最高でした。ボートはかなり揺れますが、クルージングをしてる気分で楽しめました。150メートルの方が、かなり時間も長くおすすめです。

I participated with my middle school son and my mother. There were four groups including us, consisting of people from European, African, and Hispanic backgrounds. The guide spoke only in English, but there weren't many explanations, so it was manageable as we took turns putting on our belts to fly!

Other points to note and things to be careful about:

- As many have mentioned, motion sickness medication is a must. There was one person on my boat who ended up feeling seasick.
- Although the meeting time is set for 30 minutes before, only the Japanese participants really adhered to it (laughs). I think arriving 10 minutes early would probably be fine!
- It seems that photo taking is optional. They will ask you on the boat, so make sure not to miss that if you want photos!
- Some people mentioned that the photo fee of $40 is cash only, but I was able to pay by card.
- After the flight, you can check the photos at the reception, and they will quickly transfer them to your phone and also provide an SD card (for iPhone users).
- The belt goes around your waist and you put your feet through it, but there was someone whose belt slipped down to their knees while flying, causing them to be in a position that was not seated but rather leaning back. It was quite nerve-wracking to watch. The crew does not check the belts during the flight, so it's best to confirm it yourself!

That's all. During the flight, I had a great conversation with my son about the pleasant wind and the blue sea at high altitudes, which became a wonderful memory. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad we participated. Priceless!

中学生の息子と母の二人で参加しました。
私たちと、欧米系、アフリカ系、ヒスパニック系の4組で参加。ガイドは英語オンリー。ですが、特に英語でもそんなに説明なく、ベルトを順につけて飛ぶのでなんとかなります！

それ以外の気づいた点や気をつけるべきこと。

・皆さん書いてますが酔い止め必須。私の船も1人だけ、最後は船酔いされてました。
・30分前集合、となっているが、ちゃんと守ったのは日本人だけ(笑) 10分前でも多分大丈夫です！
・写真撮影は希望制みたいです。船の上で聞かれるので、撮ってもらいたい方はそれを聞き逃さないよう！
・写真代40$は現金のみと書かれている方もいますが、カードで払えました。
・写真は降りた後に受付のところで確認の上、線を携帯につないで一瞬で取り込んでくれます＆SDもくれます(iPhoneの場合)。
・ベルトは足を通して腰で締めますが、足(お尻)の部分のベルトが下に落ちたまま(膝の方に近い位置のまま)飛んでしまった方がいて、その方だけ座る体勢ではなく、後ろ重心で寝るような格好になってしまい、見ているこちらがずっとハラハラしました。飛ぶ際にクルーの方はベルトの確認などしてくれませんので、しっかり自分で確認した方がいいです！

以上。
飛んでいる間に高いところで息子と風の気持ちよさや海の青さなど会話したこと、いい思い出になりました。
ちょっとお高いけど、参加してよかったです。プライスレス‼︎

We went out on a very windy day, which did not do anyone any favors. Lots of sick tourists! But that could not be helped as the captain doesn't control the weather. The fishing was awesome! Every person caught a person, and the crew fileted one for us to take home. Lots of varieties of fish to be caught, and were caught.

小学1、3年の子供と体験しました。
2人とも最初は怖がっていましたが、最終的にはすごく楽しんで、またやりたいと言っていました。

係員の人も、とても雰囲気よくて、盛り上がりました。パラセーリング前の船でのクルージングも気持ちよかったです。
また体験したいと思います。

I went parasailing for the first time. I usually don't get motion sickness, but while waiting for others to finish parasailing, I felt really nauseous. Since we were the first ones to go, it didn't affect the parasailing itself, but I definitely got quite sick. Both of the staff members spoke English, and they could speak a little Japanese as well.

初めてパラセールをしました。
普段乗り物酔いはしない方ですが、他の方のパラセールを待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔いました。私たちが1番初めにやったので、パラセール自体に支障はなかったものの、しっかり酔ってしまいました。
スタッフの方は2人とも英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語も話せていました。

The magician has a wonderful personality and entertains everyone. It's fun to see the magic up close. It would be even better if there were non-alcoholic cocktails available.

マジシャンがすごくよい人柄で、みんなを楽しませていただきます。間近でマジックをみると楽しいですね。ノンアルコールカクテルがあるともっと最高です。

Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.

I was not good with heights or screaming, but I didn't feel any sense of falling and was able to enjoy the stunning views. There were no Japanese participants or guides, but it wasn't a problem at all. The photo option was a bit pricey at $40, but I ordered it as a keepsake (I received it on an SD card, so I haven't checked the content yet). Considering that we did it together just once, I don't think the price is that high! It was amazing!

絶叫や高所が苦手でしたが、落ちる感覚は全くなく絶景を楽しめました。
参加者、ガイドには日本人はいなかったですが困ることはなかったです。
写真のオプションは40ドルと少し高めでしたが記念に残るので頼みました。(SDカードで受け取るのでまだ内容確認できていません)
一緒に一度と考えたら値段はそんなに高くないと思います！最高でした！

We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!

It was my first time overseas and my first parasailing experience, so I was anxious, but the kind support made it enjoyable from start to finish!

はじめての海外で初パラセーリングだったので、不安でしたが最後まで親切な対応で最初から最後まで楽しめました！

I have participated in the Kailua Diamond Head Tour and the Magic Island Waterfront Tour with friends, family, and my spouse, and each time there are surprises and discoveries. I join these tours every time I go to Hawaii. This time, the meeting location was a bit hard to find, so I was glad to take an Uber from Waikiki. I hope the Kailua Tour will resume next year.

ハワイ島での体験を含めカイルア　ダイアモンドヘッドツアー　マジックアイランドウォターウォターフロントツアー　友達とも家族とも夫婦でも参加してますが　毎回驚きと間道が有りHAWAIIに行く度に参加してます
今回集後場所がちょっと分かりにくかったので　waikikiからUberで行って良かった
来年カイルアツアーが再開されるといいな
