All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

My 6-year-old son was interested in deep-sea fish, so this submarine was the main attraction for our trip to Hawaii. It dives to about 300 meters below the sea. We were able to see many fish at various points, although it wasn't completely natural; it felt like there were artificial habitats created, which was part of research by the University of Hawaii.

Towards the end, we apparently encountered a whale, but we only caught a glimpse of its shadow from inside the submarine. The guide was quite excited and announced it, but since we were still underwater, it seemed to have passed above us. If we had been surfaced, we might have seen it.

I thought I didn't get motion sickness easily, but I ended up feeling quite nauseous on the return high-speed boat. The submarine doesn't have a restroom, but the high-speed boat does. I managed to avoid the worst-case scenario, but I recommend taking motion sickness medication for anyone who might be concerned. The guide mentioned that the waves were quite calm that day, so I think it would have been tough on a day with regular waves. Just for your reference.

6歳の息子が深海魚に興味を持っていたので、今回のハワイ旅はこの潜水艦がメインでした。
海底300m程まで潜水します。
魚などは要所要所で沢山見られました。全くの自然というわけではなく、それなりの住処を人工的に作っているという感じでしたが、それもハワイ大学の研究の一環ということでした。
終盤はクジラに遭遇したらしいですが、ニアミスで艦内からチラリと影が見えただけでした。ガイドさんもかなり興奮してアナウンスしてくれたのですが、まだ海中にいたので頭上を行ったようです。
浮上していれば見えたかもしれませんね。
私はあまり乗り物酔いはしない方だと思っていましたが、この日は帰りの高速艇でかなり酔ってしまいました。
潜水艦にトイレはありませんが、行き帰りの高速艇にはあります。
何とか最悪の事態は回避できましたが、少しでも心配のある方は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
この日はかなり波も穏やかだとガイドさんも言っていたので、普通に波がある日だと厳しかったと思います。ご参考までに。

what a wonderful tour. snorkeling for a beginner or someone with a little experience. our tour guide made us feel safe and made sure we saw lots of fish and turtles as he knew where they were often seen. going without a guide, I don't think I would have ventured as far from shore as I did.

It was truly a tour that I’m glad I went on!

First, we entered before the general public. It felt a bit exclusive! While I was a little nervous with the English guidance, we made our way to the green room. After taking photos, we enjoyed appetizers, fruits, and nuts while sipping drinks, spending a luxurious time! The backstage tour was entirely in English, but just being able to see the rarely seen behind-the-scenes was so much fun and exciting! It was really interesting!

After that, we had a leisurely dinner. The food and cocktails were both delicious! And then came the much-anticipated showtime! We were seated right in the front, so close that it felt like we could reach out and touch the performers, and I was so excited!!!

After the show, we took lots of photos and got autographs, and it was truly enjoyable.

We went on our honeymoon, and I didn’t expect to experience such a special feeling, so it was a wonderful tour that will remain in our memories!

本当に行って良かったと思えるツアーでした！

まずは一般のお客さんよりも先に入場。少し優越感！
英語での案内で少したじたじになりながら、グリーンルームへ。写真撮影後、前菜やフルーツ、ナッツを食べて、お酒を飲みながら贅沢な時間を過ごしました！
バックヤードツアーはひたすら英語だったけど、滅多に見られない舞台裏を見て回るだけでとても楽しかったし、わくわく！面白かった〜〜！
その後はゆっくりディナータイム。食事もカクテルもとても美味しい！
そしてお待ちかねのショータイム！
一番前の席で手が届きそうになるくらい近くて、とても興奮しました！！！
ショーの後もたくさん写真を撮って、サインももらって、本当に楽しかったです。

新婚旅行で行きましたが、こんな特別感が味わえるなんて思ってなかったので、思い出に残る素敵なツアーでした！

My first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the support of our guide, all five of us were able to enjoy snorkeling, especially my friend who was trying it for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles twice, which I believe was thanks to our guide's assistance. The comfort of being able to speak in Japanese and the information about local shops that we received were also great. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to request the guide again.

Hanauma Bay was filled with cats, almost like a cat island, which was perfect for me as a cat lover.

初めてのハワイ、シュノーケリング初体験の友人にずっとサポートしてくださり5人全員で楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメに2度も会うことが出来たのも、ガイドさんに案内していただいたからこそだと思います。日本語で話せる安心感、教えていただいた現地のお店の情報も良かったです。ハワイに行くことがあったら、またガイドをお願いしたいです。
ハナウマ湾が、まるで猫の島みたいに猫ちゃんだらけだったのも、猫好きな私には最高でした。

I participated in the VIP course alone.

First, it's better to arrive earlier than the meeting time. There are some light snacks served at the cocktail reception. I arrived right on time and was immediately guided to the show venue.

The food is delicious. The meat is tender and easy to eat, even for the elderly. However... the portions are small, haha. So it's a good idea to eat the snacks at the cocktail reception beforehand, haha.

As for the show, fans of Elvis might enjoy it.

VIPコースに一人参加。

まず、集合時間より早めに行った方が良い。
カクテルレセプションで、ちょっとしたおつまみが出る。
私は時間ピッタリに着いてしまい、すぐにショー会場に案内されました。

食事は美味しい。
肉も柔らかく、高齢者でも食べやすい。
ただ・・・量が少ないw
だからカクテルレセプションのおつまみを食べておいた方が良いw

ショーは、エルビスのファンなら楽しめるかも。

I went to see the show at my husband's request. We had front-row seats. It was a rare experience to see the expressions of Elvis, Katy, and the dancers up close, creating wonderful memories. There was also a backstage tour before the show, where we could touch the costumes and props used on stage, providing an experience that we wouldn't normally have. We had plenty of time for meals, and I enjoyed the course-style dishes that were served, which was also satisfying. Additionally, the hospitality from the staff was pleasant and exceptional.

My mother (in her 60s) and I (in my 30s) participated in the Rock-a-Hula show (backstage tour).
About the food… The appetizers we had in the green room were delicious. I only ate a little bit to save room for dinner, but I wish I had eaten more. The dinner itself was average in taste, but the presentation was vibrant and really captured the Hawaiian vibe.
About the backstage tour… Neither of us speaks English at all (we're not good at it, dislike it, and try to avoid it as much as possible), but they spoke slowly using simple words, so we were able to understand. Even if you don't understand English, I think you can enjoy looking at the performers' costumes, microphones, and stage lighting.
About the seating… We had seats in the center, the closest to the stage. It wasn't too close to the point where we couldn't see; we could see everything well.
About the show… I only recognized two songs, but my mother seemed to know almost all of Elvis's songs and was very happy. It was a shame that Michael wasn't there that day (both my mother and I are fans of Michael).
I also saw hula dancing for the first time, and it was fun, while the fire dance was incredibly powerful, to the point where I was worried about fire coming towards us! I enjoyed the fire dance the most during the show.
About the service… I arrived more than 20 minutes before the check-in time, but while sitting on a bench before check-in, a female staff member who spoke Japanese (I think she was an Asian dancer) approached us and explained that we could check in early and that we should move to the area near the outdoor stage once the show started. She was very polite and kind.
Overall… Both my mother and I had a great time. We were excited from the night we arrived, and it feels like we will continue to have fun from the next day! Participating was definitely the right choice!

母(60代)と私(30代)の２人でロックアフラショー(バックステージツアー)に参加しました。
食事について…。グリーンルームで食べたアペタイザーがおいしかったです。ディナーに備えてほんの少〜ししか食べなかったのですがもっと食べればよかったです。ディナー自体は、味は普通でしたが見た目が鮮やかでハワイ気分を満喫できました。
バックステージツアーについて…。２人とも全く英語ができない(苦手だし嫌いだしなるべく避けて通りたい)ですが簡単な単語でゆっくり話してくれるので私達でも聞き取れました。また、英語が分からなくても出演者の衣装やマイク、ステージ照明など見て楽しめると思います。
席について…。ステージから１番近い中央の席でした。近すぎて見づらいと言うこともなくちゃんと全体を見渡せます。
ショーについて…。モノマネは、私は知っている曲が２曲しかありませんでしたが、母はプレスリーの曲はほぼ全て知っていたようで喜んでいました。この日はマイケルがいなかったのが残念でした(私も母もマイケルのファンです)。
フラダンスも初めて見ましたが楽しかったですし、ファイヤーダンスはものすごい迫力で、こちらに火が飛んでこないかと不安になるくらいでした！私はショーの中でファイヤーダンスが１番楽しめました。
サービスなどについて…。受付開始時刻の20分以上前に着いてしまったのですが、受付前のベンチに座っていると、日本語を話す女性スタッフ(アジア系のダンサーの方だと思います)が声をかけてきてくれて、受付はもうできること、外のステージのショーが始まったらそのステージ付近に移動すればよいこと等、説明してくれました。とても丁寧で親切でした。
全体を通して…。母も私も楽しめました。到着日の夜からテンションがあがって、翌日からも楽しめそうな予感！！参加して大正解でした！！

The instructor was very dedicated in assisting us. There was a simple explanation at the beginning on how to do it, so you can participate with peace of mind.

インストラクターのお姉さんが一生懸命アシストしてくれました。
始めにどうやるのか簡単な説明もあり安心して参加出来ますよ。

We participated as a couple in a plan organized by an acquaintance. At first, I thought it would just be a casual event enjoying music while having a meal, but they played nostalgic songs one after another, and both my spouse and I had a wonderful time. Our seats were arranged in the same group as our acquaintance, and we were able to spend special moments with friends over drinks and food before the show started. The meal was luxurious and delicious. I realized that there are such enjoyable experiences to be had on a trip to Hawaii, and I am grateful for this tour and my acquaintance.

知人の企画で夫婦での参加となりました。最初は食事をしながら音楽を楽しむ程度のものかと思っていましたが、昔流れていた音楽が次々と繰り広げられ、懐かしい気持ちで夫婦共々楽しんでいました。座席も知人と同じグループとしてアレンジしていただき、ステージが始まる前の時間もドリンクや食事で友人との特別な時間を過ごすことが出来き、食事も豪華で美味しくいただけました。ハワイ旅行でこういった楽しみ方もあるのだなと、このツアーと知人に感謝の気持ちです。

I often visit live venues in Japan, but I decided to attend this show for the memories of Hawaii. Upon entering through the VIP entrance, I was greeted by a performer resembling Katy Perry, and I was overwhelmed by her doll-like appearance as we all took a commemorative photo together. I was guided to the front row right below the stage, where a wonderful meal was served one after another. When crab was brought out, the staff promptly removed the shells for us, allowing us to enjoy a very pleasant and delicious dinner.

As the show began, there were performances of Elvis, Michael, Katy, and Hawaiian performers, seamlessly blending with oldies that even Japanese people are familiar with, all accompanied by wonderful music. The quality of the singing was very high, and the performers often came down into the audience, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

I have experienced a real Michael stage performance before, but I believe this is not just an impersonation show; it is a splendid example of American entertainment.

私は、日本でもよくライブ会場に足を運びますが、ハワイの思い出にこのショーに参加してみました。VIP専用の入り口から入るとケイティ・ペリーのパフォーマーがお出迎え、まるでお人形のような容姿に圧倒されながら、皆で記念写真。ステージすぐ下の最前列に案内され、素敵な食事が次々と運ばれてきます。蟹が出てきたときには、すかさずスタッフが殻を外してくれて、とても気持ちがよく美味しいディナーをいただきました。
ステージが始まると、エルビス、マイケル、ケティにハワイアンパフォーマーと息もつかさず、日本人でもよく耳にしたオールディズが素敵な演奏とともに繰り広げられました。皆さん歌のクオリティも非常に高く、よく会場にも降りてきてくれますので、楽しめます。
本物のマイケルのステージも体験したこともありますが、これは単なるモノマネショーではなく、立派なアメリカンエンターテイメントだと思います。

The experience was definitely worth the time and cost. Picture taking left a bit to be desired, problem with reflection through the portals...wished we could have seen more sea life...may have just been the Tim of the year.
The narrative was well done.

I experienced this on December 4th. The guide was incredibly nice. It had been raining in Hawaii for a long time, and finally, it cleared up on this day. We were told that it was cold and the chances of seeing a sea turtle were low, so my family and I had given up on that idea, thinking it would be fine just to see various fish. However, miraculously, we were able to encounter one sea turtle! It was truly wonderful. Overall, I was very satisfied because the guide was such a great person!

12月4日に体験しました。
とーっても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
ハワイはずーっと雨が降って居て、この日にやっと晴れてくれました。寒いしウミガメに会える確率は低いよー。と言われ、いろんなお魚に出会えるだけでいっか。なんて家族で断念していましたが、奇跡的に１匹だけ出会うことができました。
ほんとうに、素敵でした。
とにかくガイドさんがとても良い方だったので大満足でした！

It was a rock show after 20 years. Elvis was as cool as ever. It was disappointing that Michael Jackson was absent. Katy was cute too ❤️ She used to be Madonna, right?

２０年ぶりのロックアショー。エルビスは相変わらずカッコ良かったです。マイケルジャクソンが欠席だったのが残念でした。ケーティも可愛かった❤️昔はマドンナだったよね〜

The weather was nice on the day, and it was more fun than I had imagined. There were no scary things like I had worried about. The early morning plan is recommended as it allows you to make the most of your day. Next time, I would like to take commemorative photos from a higher place.

当日は、お天気も良く想像以上に楽しかったです。
心配していたような怖いことはありませんでした。
早朝プランは、1日を有効に使えてオススメです。
次回はもっと高いところから、記念写真をお願いしたいと思います。

I chose this tour after reading the other reviews and we were definitely not disappointed. The good reviews are all true. Dan is very experienced and friendly. He is very patient and kind with beginners and answered all our questions. The hour long snorkel is definitely enough time. This is a excellent tour for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. We saw so a huge variety of fish and the whole experience met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dan for a great day. We recommend you and your company without any hesitation.

I arrived a little early at the meeting place, and since it was a hot day with no shade, waiting was a bit challenging. I signed the documents and boarded the boat. The staff were all friendly. When it was our turn, we went up to a height of 120 meters and enjoyed the breathtaking view, which was very moving. I felt no fear of the height once we were up, so I think choosing 120 meters was the right decision. The view of Waikiki Beach and the blue ocean from the sea side was very impressive.

集合場所に少し早く着き、暑い日だったので日陰もなく待つのが少し大変でした。書類にサインをして、ボートに乗りました。係の方は皆フレンドリーでした。自分たちの番がきて１２０mの高さまで上がり、絶景を楽しみとても感動しました。上がってみて高さに対する怖さはありませんでしたので１２０mにして正解だと思いました。海側からみるワイキキビーチと海の青さがとても印象的でした。

We started our first parasailing adventure at 150 meters at 10 AM! There were five groups participating, including us. The 9 AM and 11 AM slots had fewer participants. After having a hearty breakfast (which I regretted later... haha), we were all set! Since we were staying at the Hilton, we could walk to the meeting point without getting lost. The guide spoke very little Japanese, but we managed with gestures.

With many groups, the time spent on the boat is longer, so it's better to take motion sickness medication! Also, keep breakfast light (laughs).

Once we took off, it was simply amazing!! It was a quick journey through the skies! My husband, who isn't fond of roller coasters or the feeling of flying in airplanes, was totally fine. We were both nervous before flying, but in the end, it became the best memory of our trip! (The photo is from when we were dropped into the sea before returning to the boat.)

10時から初めてのパラセイリング150ｍにチャレンジ！
私たちを入れて５組参加していました。９時と11時スタートは組数が少なかったです。
朝ごはんをお腹いっぱい食べ（後で後悔・・笑）、準備完了！
ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで迷わず歩いて行くことができました。
ガイドさんはほとんど日本語は話せませんが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります。
組数が多いと船に乗っている時間が長いので、酔い止めは飲んでいたほうがいいです！あと、朝ごはんはほどほどに(笑)
いざ、飛んでみると最高の一言！！あっという間の空の旅でした！
ジェットコースターや飛行機のふわっとするのが苦手な旦那さんも、ぜんぜん平気でした。
飛ぶ前は2人でびくびくしていましたが、最後には旅行の一番の思い出になりました！

My wife and I had a wonderful time on our snorkeling trip. Dave was very patient with us, especially me, as we learned the basics.

We were picked up on time by a very professional and knowledgeable driver who explained everything we needed to know before entering Pearl Harbor. We had time to visit the museum buildings which included many relics from the era and the gift shop before entering the building where a short film is seen. We then boarded a boat piloted by military personnel who brought us to the memorial. Once we entered the memorial we we asked to keep conversations to a whisper to respect the souls below. It was a very humbling moment for us all. We were then taken back to shore and boarded our bus to head to the Missouri. We were told NOT to take any pictures while driving they the military base until we got to the Missouri, There are lots of places to have a quick meal before and after boarding the Ship. Once you're on the ship you can go out on your own or take a free guided tour which I would suggest. because all of the important areas like where the surrender took place. After the tour you will still have time to walk about the ship and to go beneath to view crew quarters and other areas of interest. After leaving the ship we boarded our bus, picked up our bags and purses at the locker area (not allowed at Pearl Harbor) and headed to the Punch Bowl for a short drive thru to pay our respects then to our hotels. This was a very informative tour done by a great drive who also acted as the tour guide. He didn't miss a thing and made us feel that we were back un the day with his presentation. His company would be very proud of him!!

It was a fantastic tour! Our guide/bus driver Larry was a wealth of knowledge on everything from Hawaiian history to all the buildings in the area and I learnt so much that I would have never known without him. He also told us plenty about Pearl Harbour too and made sure we knew what we were doing. He was very funny too and you could tell he was very experienced and qualified for his job, it was a fantastic experience and definitely worth my money.

This time, I participated with five friends from childhood (71 years old). When I mentioned that I had gone to see the show for the third time with my wife this October, they expressed a strong desire to see it as well, so they joined. I was amazed by the high quality and the spectacular stage, and we all had a great time. I was surprised that, apart from Elvis, the performers had changed since I saw it in October, and some parts of the show were different as well. Everyone had a wonderful time.

今回は幼馴染の男女5人での参加でした（71歳）今年の10月に妻と3回目の観ショーをした旨の話をしたところ是非とも観たいとの事で参加いたしました。そのクオリィティーの高さとショーアップされたステージに驚くとともに大盛り上がりで楽しんでおりました。10月に観た時と
エルビス以外は出演者も替っておりショーも一部分変わっていたのには驚きでした。
全員楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

Even for someone with a fear of heights like me, I had a great time!!! Everything went smoothly, and it became a wonderful memory! If I go parasailing in Hawaii again, I would like to book here!

高所恐怖症のわたしでも
とても楽しめました！！！
全てスムーズで、良い思い出になりました！
また次ハワイでパラセーリングするならこちらで予約したいです！

It was a lot of fun from the moment we boarded until we flew back over the harbor. It was thrilling. We even saw dolphins from the boat by chance. Since we had an evening reservation, we were able to take photos with the sunset in the background, and I was very satisfied.

乗船してから上空を飛んでハーバーに戻るまで、ずっと楽しかったです。スリル満点でした。船からは偶然にもイルカが見れたりしました。夕方の予約でしたので、夕日をバックに写真を撮って頂いたりり、大満足です。

Absolutely amazing! The scenery was great, the weather was perfect, and the parasailing staff were really nice, making for a wonderful experience. This time we went up to 150 meters, and even though my wife has a fear of heights, she truly enjoyed it, and we were both very satisfied.

本当に最高❗️景色も良く天気も良くパラセーリング担当の方々も本当にいい人で良い経験できました✨
今回は150mで嫁が高所恐怖症なのですが、本当に楽しでおり2人とも大満足です。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We participated in a tour that is known for its unique hula dance show. During the initial backyard tour, we were greeted by an Elvis impersonator as a surprise. Although it wasn't the real Elvis, it felt like we had met a star.

After that, the dinner show began. The dinner was surprisingly filling, and we were very satisfied.

Then the show started. The hula dance show set to the songs of classic stars like Elvis and Michael Jackson was an impressive stage performance unlike anything I had seen before. Personally, I was most captivated by the fire dance. I recommend this for anyone looking to see a unique show.

新婚旅行でハワイにいきました。一風変わったフラダンスショーが見れると話題の当該ツアーに参加。最初のバックヤードの案内では、プレスリーのそっくりさんが出迎えてくれてるサプライズ。本人ではないですが、思わずスターに会った気分でした。
その後、ディナーショーが始まりました。ディナーも以外とボリューミーで大満足でした。
そしてショーが始まりました。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンと往年のスターの曲に合わせたフラダンスショーは今まで見たことがない迫力のステージでした。個人的にはファイヤーダンスに一番夢中になりました。ちょっと変わったショーが見たい方にはおすすめです。

I stayed at Hilton and walked to the meeting point, but it was difficult to find. The parasailing itself was fun, but it seems I needed to ask the captain for photos before parasailing, so it's a shame I don't have any pictures from the experience. The information was only provided via email, which left me dissatisfied with the service.

ヒルトンに宿泊していたため徒歩で集合場所へ向かうも場所が分かりづらかった。
パラセーリング自体は楽しく参加できたけど、写真を撮ってもらうには、パラセーリング前に船長にお願いする必要があったらしく、パラセーリング中の写真がないのが残念。
メールでの案内だけなので、サービスに不満が残った。

Although I have been to Oahu many times, this was my first experience with parasailing. Considering my age, I thought this might be the first and last time for such an experience, so I convinced my daughter, who is not fond of heights, to join me. We chose the lowest height of 90 meters, but the ride was so comfortable that I wished we had gone a little higher. From takeoff to landing, our guide continuously took photos, and for an additional fee, they provided them on an SD card, which became a wonderful keepsake. Thank you for your assistance.

何回もオアフ島に行っているのに初めてパラセイリングを体験しました。
年齢的にもこのような体験は最初で最後と思い、高いところが苦手な娘を説得しての参加となりました。
苦手な娘のことも考え一番低い９０ｍにしましたが、空の遊覧はあまりにも快適でもう少し高くすれば良かったと思いました。
飛び立つところから下りるまでガイドさんが写真をとり続けてくれて、おまけに有料ですがSDカードにしてくれて記念に残るものとなりました。
お世話になりました。

The scenery was great, but the lively staff were the best! I had the most fun on this trip! Thank you so much! :-)) Also, everyone, don't forget to tip.

景色もさることながら、ノリの良いスタッフが最高！今回の旅で一番楽しめました！ありがとうございました〜:-)) それと、みなさんTIPを忘れずに。

We are a family of 4 with a infant. Snorkeling was not an option but we wanted to see marine life. The boat was great, captain took the boat out gently; no turbulence, baby was happy. We got to see dolphins, turtles and schools of fish

took my 9 year old granddaughter up with me... this was a thrill and 1/2 !!
one more item i can check off my bucket list.
these two guys that took us out were just Awesome
