All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

The instructor is kind of young but they are really enthusiastic.Indeed it is very helpful and my families do really have a goodddd time. I especially appreciate that cheerful attitude which make you feel comfortable for the whole surfing time.

Captain Dan and his first mate were professional, efficient and gracious. My 3 kids (17,15,12) and I had a great parasail experience with X-treme. We got every bit of airtime we paid for, and then some. I was thoroughly impressed with the Captain's dexterous maneuvering as he dipped us in and out of the ocean. The first mate got everyone clipped in and clipped out so smoothly that there was almost zero down time in between us parasailers.

On the day of the tour, we had a plan for the afternoon, and it was just my husband and me participating. Our guide was Chieko, a very friendly Japanese woman. She was quite experienced, and she seemed to know everyone at Hanauma Bay. It had been quite a challenge for us since we participated in a snorkeling tour in Saipan 30 years ago, but Chieko efficiently taught us the snorkeling techniques, so we felt comfortable joining in. She also took underwater photos and shared them with us. She guided us expertly to points where many fish were swimming. To our surprise, we even saw a turtle. It was an unforgettable and wonderful memory. I’m really glad we participated. Hanauma Bay is thoroughly protected, so the water is very clear and beautiful, and the fish are impressively large. They grow big because they are protected. We saw mongooses playing on the beach. With the life jackets, we floated safely, and by moving our fins, we could swim forward. All we had to do was breathe through our mouths instead of our noses. My husband and I confidently recommend this tour to everyone.

当日は午後からのプランで、参加者は私達夫婦だけでした。担当はchiekoさん。とっても気さくな、日本の方でした。相当なベテランの方で、ハナウマ湾の係りの方は皆、知り合いでした。私達はなにしろ、サイパンで３０年前にシュノーケルツアーに参加して以来のチャレンジですが、chiekoさんが手際よくシュノーケルの要領を教えてくれたので安心して参加出来ました。水中写真も撮っていただいてアップして下さいました。魚が沢山泳いでいるポイントを要領よく案内していただきました。なんと、亀も見れました。一生忘れられない素晴らしい思い出です。本当に参加して良かったです。ハナウマ湾は自然保護が徹底しているので、水はとっても透き通ってきれいですし、お魚さんのなんと大きいこと。迫力満点です。保護されているので、大きく育つそうです。海岸ではマングースが遊んでいました。ライフジャケットで体は浮いているので、安心ですし、足ヒレを動かせば前に進みます。後は鼻で息をしないで、口で呼吸すればいいだけです。私達夫婦はこのツアーを自信を持って皆さんに推薦します。

My husband and I were looking for a night out and this fit the bill. Our service was the best of the several excursions we have taken while here. The food was good and was cooked at our request to my personal liking. The show itself was very good which continually moved forward with good timing. The only negative I found was we sometimes lost the vocals, my husband thought is was probably due to our location in the room, which was on the floor directly in front of and below the stage. Dispite this it was an excellent show.

The 3 guys did an excellent job going over safety an simple instructions in the classroom, on the beach the were patient and helpful. I was satisfied with the results!

We participated as a couple.
They provided transportation, and there are staff members who speak Japanese, so those who are worried about English can feel at ease!
The lessons are given with simple Japanese instructions, so there are no problems at all.
There are multiple opportunities to catch waves, so I believe anyone can learn to stand up!
Finally, we also received a group photo at the end.
We made wonderful memories.

カップルでの参加でした。
送迎も頂き、日本語を話せるスタッフもいるので英語で心配な方でも安心です！
レッスンも簡単な日本語で指示してもらえるので全く問題ありません。
何度も波に乗るチャンスがあるので誰でも立てるようになると思います！
最後にグループで1枚写真の入ったデータももらえますよ。
素敵ないい思い出ができました。

I tried it at 150m, but we were the only Japanese participants, and the guide mostly spoke English, which made me a bit anxious. However, once I took off, the situation changed completely! Not only could I enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky, but the beautiful ocean was truly "Blue Hawaii"!

150ｍでトライしたのですが、参加者で日本人が自分たちだけで、ガイドさんもほとんど英語しか話さないので少し不安な気持ちもありました。
しかし、いざ舞い上がると状況は一変！空からハワイの絶景を一望できるだけでなく、美しい海がまさしく「ブルーハワイ」でした！

When we booked our vacation, I knew this activity was the MUST DO of our time in Honolulu! It was awesome! Too bad I got motion sickness on the boat while we waited for other patrons to sail. If you're sensitive like me, take dramamine an hour before you sail. The staff was as accommodating as can be expected in the middle of the ocean! The photos captured are amazing and well worth the extra $30.

This was my second time participating, and it was so much fun that I brought a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

At the Terrace Luau, there was a whole roasted pig, and all the Hawaiian dishes were delicious.

It seems that the content of the show is constantly changing, so I never got bored.

About 90% of the participants seemed to be Japanese, but Katy Perry wasn't very well-known among the older audience and didn't get much of a reaction.

Michael Jackson and Elvis were, of course, very well-known and received a great response.

We got to see both hula and fire dancing, and everyone in my group was very satisfied. They said the one-hour show flew by.

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time.

私は２度目の参加でしたが、
とても楽しかったので
初めてハワイに行く友人を連れて
参加しました。

テラスルアウでは仔豚の丸焼きがあり
ハワイ料理も美味しいものばかりでした。

ショーの内容は、どんどん以前と
変化しているようで
見飽きませんんでした。

参加者は９割がた日本人のようでしたが
ケイティー・ペリーは年配者の方には
知名度が低くてあまりウケませんでした。

マイケルジャクソンとエルビスは
さすがによく知られているので
大ウケでした。

フラもファイヤーダンスも見られて
同行者はみんな大満足。
1時間のショーがあっという間だったと
言っていました。

また渡ハしたときは、参加したいと思います。

I was able to see the underwater world of an unknown realm, and it was very moving. My mother, who is in her 80s, was also very happy. However, it seemed that the ladder to get down into the submarine was steep and scary, but the crew kindly supported us.

未知の世界の海底を観ることが出来、とっても感動しました。80代の母も大変喜んでいました。ただ、潜水艦に降りる時のハシゴが急で怖かったようですが、クルーの方が優しくサポートして下さいました

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time attending this show. First of all, I was surprised at how close the audience was to the stage! Until I saw it, I thought it would be just another typical Hawaiian show, but it was completely different! While it may not be on par with Las Vegas shows, it was quite similar. The fire dance was also very impressive due to the proximity to the stage.

I signed up for the dinner package, and the meat was delicious. Above all, the staff's service was outstanding! The entire experience, including dinner, lasted about three hours, but I enjoyed it without getting bored. I would definitely recommend it to someone.

There were drinks available in the waiting room, and the service was good, so I recommend arriving a little early. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lobster...

I have added more memories of Hawaii!

ハワイに何回か来たことがありますが初めての今回のショーでした。
まず客席が舞台にかなり近いのがビックリ！見るまではハワイによくありがちなハワイショーかと思いきや全滅違いました！
ラスベガスのショーとまではいかないですがかなり近いものがありました。
舞台に近いせいもありファイヤーダンスも迫力満点でした。
ディナー付きで申し込みましたがお肉が美味しいかったです。そして何よりスタッフの方の対応が素晴らしい！ディナーも含めて3時間程度でしたが飽きずに楽しめました。
誰かにオススメしたいと思います。
ウェイティングルームのドリンクもありサービスもいいので少し早めに行かれることをオススメします。
ただロブスターが少し残念でした…
またハワイの思い出がふえました。

The experience was great. The only negative I have is I was suppose to get my military discount refunded after I showed my ID at the time of check in. I still haven't received anything. I definitely would like my refund. Also the parking where Veltra suggested I parked at Ilikai hotel don't validate for free parking. That was $7.00 an hour for two hours. When I could have parked right next to the event and paid for the tickets at the counter I think next time I'll just get my tickets through the counter.

This was a powerful tour in part cause of our driver Tao!

I want to start this review by saying that Kieko (our guide) picked us up at our hotel and I was not in the right pick up area. She was actually walking around calling out my name and found me. I cannot thank her enough!!!

The tour was about a half day long - we went in the morning, which I would recommend because it can get crowded at Hanauma as the day goes on.

We were able to lock up our valuables while we were in the water. The tram ride down and back up to the parking lot was awesome

As for the snorkelling - it was AMAZING. I cannot believe how many different species of marine life we saw. So much fun. I did not want to get out of the water!

It was more powerful than I expected, and the staff were great entertainers. My 10-year-old daughter and I had a wonderful time. I definitely want to do it again!

思った以上の迫力とスタッフのエンターテイナーぶりで、10才の娘も含めて大変楽しめましたぜひまたやりたいです❗

This was so much fun! We loved every moment, and guides Jay and Jamie were wonderful. They were safe, professional, very fun, and good at what they do. The parasailing had amazing views and wasn't scary, even though we went up really high. It was so peaceful and beautiful up there. Thanks Jay and Jamie for an amazing experience we'll never forget!

I was a bit drowsy at first due to fatigue from Hawaii, but once I woke up and started watching, my eyes were glued to the performance. Of course, Presley and Michael were amazing, but I was surprised by the dancers in the background who seamlessly performed not only hula but various other dances as well. It was even more surprising to realize that they were the same staff who brought us drinks during our first meal. Wow, it was incredible. It was very engaging, and I highly recommend it. The buffet meal might not be the best, so I give it four stars.

ハワイ疲れで最初はウトウトしてましたが、はっと目覚め見始めると、目が釘ずけになりました。プレスリーやマイケルはもちろん素晴らしいのですが、バックで踊っている方々がフラはもちろんの事どんなダンスでも次々とこなし、ビックリしました。それが最初の食事の時にドリンクを運んで来てくれたスタッフだとわかり、ますますビックリ。いやー、凄いです。見応えあって、オススメです。バイキングの食事はいまいちかも。で、星4つ。

I got this as a gift for my husband for Fathers Day !! So my 2 teens would go up with him . They had never been on it and they loved it !! They loved the staff and how fun they were!! I came on as a spectator and I loved the boat ride and being able to be there with my little family seeing them so EXCITED!! Loved the pictures we bought ! They were amazing!!! Next trip .. I'm booking another one !!!

Not many fish the day we went but lots of huge sea turtles The buried wreaks were fun we traveled really close to a lot of interesting underwater features.

After visiting Hawaii ten times, I experienced parasailing for the first time in my 50s! I challenged myself to a height of 150 meters! Before heading out on the boat, music was playing, and I was in a great mood. Life jackets were distributed, and although the boat swayed a bit, we confirmed safety while watching others parasailing around us!

There were about five groups on the boat, but they took photos for us while we waited, making the wait enjoyable! When it was our turn, I felt a bit anxious due to the height, but I was moved by the beautiful sky and scenery! The aerial walk was incredibly fun, and even though I was intentionally dropped into the sea, the water felt great! The landing back on the boat was smooth and not scary at all. The service was attentive until the end, and I highly recommend it!

ハワイ10回にして、50代にしてはじめてパラセーリングを体験しました！
高さ150メートルに挑戦しました！
ボートで沖に出る前から音楽が流れノリノリ気分で
ライフジャケットが配られ
ボートが少し揺れたりしたけど風や周りでパラセーリングやっている様子を確認したり、安全確認もばっちりでした！
いざ、ボートには5組位乗っていましたが、待ち時間にも写真を撮ってくれたりして
楽しく順番待ちが出来ましたよ！
いざ、自分達の番になり高さのあるので少し不安でしたが、綺麗な空と景色に感動でした！
そして、空中散歩も最高に楽しかったし、海にわざと落とされたけど水の気持ち良かった事！
ボートへの着地も怖くなくスムーズでしたよ
最後まで接客も丁寧でお勧めします

The boat ride to the point was quite intense, so I was really nervous... (If you're sensitive, motion sickness medication is a must.) But once it was time to jump, there was no time to be scared; the start happened in an instant.
My father, a high school student, and a third grader jumped together, while my mother watched to take photos, but the boat's movements were so intense that she couldn't capture anything... However, the staff were kind and took many photos for us instead.
The two staff members didn't speak any Japanese, but they were full of jokes and it was fun. The American family we rode with was also cheerful, making for a great time.
All three of us were very satisfied with the height (120m) and the duration, and we are saying we definitely want to participate again next time!

ポイントに着くまでのボートの走りがかなり激しかったので、かなりビクビクしていましたが…(弱い方は酔い止め必須です)いざ飛ぶことになったら、怖がっている暇もないほど、あっという間のスタートでした。
父、高校生、小3の三人一緒に飛び、母は撮影のために見学でしたが、ボートの動きが激しく撮影できず…。が、スタッフの方が親切で代わりにたくさん撮ってくださいました。
スタッフ二人は日本語は全く通じませんが、ジョークも多く楽しかったです。同乗のアメリカ人ファミリーも明るい方で良いひと時でした。
三人とも高さ(120m)、時間とも大満足で、次回も絶対参加したい！と言っています。

We participated in this tour because my husband wanted to try parasailing. As a result, it was really fun! The moment we took off and were lifted by the wind felt like a roller coaster, and while it was scary, it was also exhilarating. It felt like we were birds, and seeing the beautiful scenery of the Hawaiian sea and Diamond Head from above was truly the best feeling, blowing away all my daily worries and stress! I also purchased the photos taken at the end. They were a bit pricey at $30, but I think it's worth it for the memories. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you!

今回主人のパラセイリングがしたいという希望でこちらのツアーに参加しました。
結果、本当に楽しかったです！
飛ぶ瞬間や風に煽られる瞬間はジェットコースターのようで、怖いながらも爽快感がありました。
鳥になった気分で、空の上からハワイの海やダイヤモンドヘッドなどの美しい景色を臨むのは本当に最高の気分で、日頃の悩みやストレスを一気に吹っ飛ばしてくれました！
最後に撮ってもらった写真も購入しました。
30ドルとちょっと高めですが、思い出や記念には良いと思います。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

This was a fun excursion for the kids. You go on a submarine ride about 115 feet down. The tour guide is very entertaining and makes the time go by very fast! He also points out all the fish you are going to see!!

Me and my 3 kids had a great experience snorkeling with Dan. This was our first experience and i had never thought i could go in for straight 35 mins with my kids [our youngest is 6 years old]. I felt i was in safe hands with Dan and did have to worry much about the kids. I will go back to Dan when we visit Hawaii, without a doubt !!

After having dinner, we watched the show. The meat at dinner was very delicious. We were able to watch the show from a very good seat, right in the middle of the front row of the VIP section, and we even got to take photos and have a handshake. Personally, I enjoyed the fire dance the most. Although we weren't very familiar with songs by Elvis or Michael Jackson, we had a great time. However, if you participate, it might be even more enjoyable if you do some preparation in advance. The location is also within the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is easily accessible, so if you have the time, I definitely recommend joining.

ディナーを頂いてから、ショーを見るという流れでした。
ディナーはお肉がとてもおいしかったです。
ショーについてはVIP席の中でも真ん中の最前列という非常にいい席でみることができ、写真や握手もしてもらえました。
個人的にはファイヤーダンスが一番楽しかったです。
私たちはエルビスやマイケルジャクソンの曲などをあまり知らなかったですが、十分楽しむことができましたが、参加する際は、事前に予習しておくと更に楽しめるかもしれません。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンター内でアクセスもよく、時間があればぜひ参加してもらえればと思います。

I challenged myself to 120 meters. It had a sufficient height and felt quite long! The wind was refreshing, and it was a lot of fun. The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must!

120Mに挑戦しました。十分な高さがあり時間も結構長く感じました！風が気持ちよくてとても楽しかったです。船が結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須です！

In addition to fish, I was able to see sunken ships and airplanes on the seabed, which made me feel like I was exploring the ocean floor, and it was a lot of fun. I also encountered sea turtles and sharks. It's a shame I didn't get to see any whales! Unlike going into the sea, there's no need to change clothes, so it's easy to participate.

魚以外にも、海底に沈んだ船や飛行機を見ることができ、海底を探検してるような気分でとても楽しかったです。ウミガメやサメにも遭遇することができました。クジラには出会えず残念！海に入るのと違い、着替えたりしなくていいので気軽に参加できていいですね。

My wife said she wanted to go parasailing, so we joined this tour. Regarding this tour, none of the driver, reception, or boat staff spoke Japanese. However, the staff were accustomed to Japanese customers, and we were able to enjoy the parasailing experience without any major issues.

On the boat, lively music played, and participants took turns flying into the sky. Even while waiting for our turn, it was fun just watching others soar. I still remember the exhilarating moment when I actually took off into the air. While flying steadily, I could see the distant condominiums of Oahu, and it really hit me that we were in Hawaii. My wife and I both felt, "I'm so glad we came," and we were truly satisfied. After touching the water a few times and going up and down, we returned to the boat. Be sure to wear a swimsuit when participating.

*Points of concern:*
- I had reserved for 120 meters in advance, but it seemed like the staff were raising us based on their own judgment? The participants didn’t feel much difference in height, so I think either 90 meters or 120 meters would be sufficient.
- The staff will take commemorative photos on a 1G SD card. I think it was around $20 or $30 to purchase. My wife really wanted it, so we bought it, but I thought they could have lowered the price a bit since there was some dirt on the lens.
- The boat moves at quite a fast speed. If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

奥さんが「パラセイリングしたい」と言っていたため、このツアーに参加。
このツアーに関しては、運転手、受付、船上スタッフ全員日本語が通じませんでした。ただ、スタッフも日本人に慣れており、特に問題なくパラセイリング体験出来ました。
　
船上ではノリの良い音楽が掛かり、次々と参加者が空に飛んでいきます。順番が回ってくるまでも、参加者が飛んでる様子を観るだけで楽しかったです。実際に飛んでみても、勢い良く空を飛ぶ瞬間は今でも覚えてます。また安定して空を飛行している時は、遠くオアフ島のマンション群を観ながら、ハワイに来たんだと実感出来て、奥さんと二人で「来て良かったね」と本当に満足できました。海に何度か着水させて、上下させた後、船に戻ります。必ず水着着用で参加しましょう。
　
※気になった点
・事前に120m、で予約していましたが、船上のスタッフは感覚で空に上げている様子？で、参加したメンバーで高さの違いは感じられませんでした笑　90mか120mの申込で十分だと思います。
・スタッフが1GのSDカードに記念写真を撮ってくれます。確か20ドルか30ドルくらいで買い取りが出来た気がします。奥さんがどうしても欲しいとのことで買い取りましたが、もうちょっと値下げしてくれても良いかな、っと思いました笑　レンズにゴミが付いてたので。
・結構早い速度で船が移動します。船酔いが気になる人は、必ず酔い止め薬を服用しておきましょう。

1. Movie location tour
2. Ancient fish pond and garden tour
3. Jungle exploration tour
4. Cruise
5. Private beach

It was a tour where you could choose three from 1 to 4, or 5 plus one from 1 to 4.

Our family, consisting of my husband, myself, and our 6-year-old son, participated in tours 2 to 4.

The garden tour (2) was unexpectedly enjoyable and fulfilling. It was an experiential tour. We were introduced to Hawaiian flowers and got to enjoy their scents, observe cotton, and taste fresh macadamia nuts. The taste was different from roasted nuts, making it a valuable experience. It seems that carnivorous fish inhabit the ancient fish pond, but we didn't get to see any.

The jungle exploration tour (3) was a jeep tour that took us to various highlights. We climbed mountains and enjoyed taking photos with the sea and the ancient fish pond in the background. It felt more like a historical discussion about the Hawaiian monarchy rather than a typical jungle exploration tour.

A common feature of tours 2 and 3 was the introduction of filming locations. It seems that Kualoa Ranch is famous for being a filming location, as there were many introductions to movies, dramas, and Japanese TV shows.

The cruise (4) was also enjoyable. We cruised to the private beach, encountered sea turtles, and unexpectedly got soaked, which made our child very excited. If you're lucky, you might also encounter manta rays.

For the private beach tour, participants were required to bring swimsuits and towels, but for the other tours, only long pants were mandatory, so I didn't bring a change of clothes, which was a mistake. If you're planning to participate in the cruise (4), bringing a change of clothes is essential.

Overall, our child had a great time throughout all the activities. We were satisfied, ranking them in the order of 4, 2, and 3 for enjoyment.

①映画ロケ地巡り、②古代養魚池とガーデンツアー、③ジャングル探検ツアー、④クルーズ、⑤プライベートビーチ

①〜④のうち3つまたは、⑤プラス①〜④のうち1つ選択するツアーでした。

我が家は夫婦と6歳男の子で②〜④に参加しました。

②のガーデンツアーが予想以上に楽しく、充実していました。体験型のツアーです。ハワイの花の紹介と実際に香りを楽しんだり、綿の観察、生のマカダミアナッツの試食などがありました。ローストされたナッツとはまた違った美味しさで、貴重な経験をしました。
古代養魚池には肉食魚が住んでいるようですが、お目にかかれませんでした。

③はジープで見所を回るツアーでした。山を登り、高い所から海と古代養魚池を背景に写真撮影を楽しむ印象です。ジャングル探検ツアーというよりかは、ハワイ王朝の歴史的な話がメインな印象です。

②と③で共通しているのは、ロケ地の紹介があったこと。クアロア牧場はロケ地で有名なのか、映画やドラマ、日本のテレビ番組の紹介が多く感じました。

④も楽しいクルーズです。プライベートビーチをクルーズし、海ガメに出会ったり、想定外にずぶ濡れになったりと子どもは大はしゃぎでした。運が良ければ、マンタなどにも出会えるそうです。

プライベートビーチのツアー参加者は水着やタオルの持ち物指定がありましたが、他は長ズボン必須とのことのみで着替えは持っていかず、失敗しました。④のクルーズに参加される、参加するかもと予定されている方は、着替えは必須です。

全体を通して、子どもは全て楽しく過ごしました。④②③の順で楽しかったと満足です。

I've been wanting to go parasailing with my boyfriend for the experience and adrenaline rush!! Found this website thru my cousin who lives in Hawaii and looked thru the activities. Found parasailing at a good price and was excited!
The employees helped ease our nerves and pick up was super awesome and convenient! They also offered picture taking! Relieved I didn't have to ask anyone to use my phone to take our pics
Would definitely try it again!!
