All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.

母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。

On time pick up and drop off, great friendly driver(Patrick) well done, very organised trip great value. Recommended.

I participated in a private lesson during my free time. I had a scary impression of surfing, but since the water was shallow, I didn't have to worry about falling into the sea, and I was able to stand up on my first try. The staff were all wonderful people, and the time spent floating in the sea together felt like being in a movie. Although the water is shallow, there are many rocks, so you need to be careful of cuts depending on where you fall. However, including the photos I bought at the end, it was an experience that made me want to do it again.

1人の自由時間にプライベートレッスンで参加。
サーフィンに対して怖い印象がありましたが、遠浅で海に落ちる恐怖もなく、初めてでも1度目で立てました。
スタッフの方々も素敵な人ばかりで、一緒に海に浮かんで休憩している時間は映画の中にいるようでした。
遠浅ですが岩が多いので、海に落ちる場所によっては切り傷に注意が必要です。
でも、最後に買った写真も含めて、また是非やりたいと思える体験でした。

My sister and I had a blast during this, our first, parasailing adventure. For anyone concerned about any jerking movements during take-off or landing, put your fears to rest. The ride was completely smooth and the view is breathtaking! One more thing crossed off our bucket list.

On the day, our guide "Dan" was fluent in Japanese and able to converse normally, which made us feel secure throughout.
Valuables are stored in a large locked container box.
We were also provided with drinking water and snacks.
Dan brought an underwater digital camera, and he uploaded the photos he took to Facebook that night.

During this honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I booked and experienced various optional tours in advance. However, honestly, many of the tours booked through travel agencies were disappointing.
Among them, the only tour I booked myself, the "Hanauma Bay Snorkeling," was extremely satisfying.
I truly realized what a veteran guide's tour should be like.
Even regarding tipping, which is not customary in Japan, I often hesitated in other tours and restaurants, but I was happy to tip Dan.
It was a truly moving tour.
I would love to request it again when I go to Hawaii.

今回のハワイ新婚旅行では、事前にさまざまなオプショナルツアーを予約し体験してきました。しかし、正直、旅行会社を通して予約したツアーはガッカリが多く残念なことも多々ありました。
そのような中、唯一、自分で予約したこの「ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング」は大満足でした。
本当にベテランガイドのツアーとはこういうものだと痛感したほどです。
日本では習慣のないチップにしても、他のツアーや飲食店では渋りたくなる場面がほとんどでしたが、ダンさんに対しては気持ちよくチップを渡せました。
本当に感動を与えてくれたツアーです。
また、ハワイに行った際にはお願いしたいほどです。

I would highly recommend this activity. Driver was very helpful and informative. Everything was just as the company promised. We had a wonderful time.

We LOVED this day! Dan & his wife were great! They took very good care of us, even making sure that those of us with cameras got a chance to take pictures of the beautiful fish (and the 2 sea turtles we saw). They provided us with cold water and snacks after our swim, which were much appreciated. I love that Dan took many pictures of us all with his camera, and posted them to Facebook for us to see &/or download later. My husband and I are both over 60, and I think they were a little concerned whether we could handle the swimming. But they stayed nearby and checked often whether we were OK (we were!) Most of our group was Japanese, with My husband & I the only "anglos". Dan was amazing at switching from Japanese to English and back, making sure that none of us felt left out of the conversation. We would definitely recommend this activity for anyone!

I requested the most expensive one! It felt really good ^ ^ The staff member was very nice, and when I happily asked to be dropped into the sea at the end, they did it twice as a bonus! I would like to use this service again and recommend it to my friends.

1番高いのをリクエストしました！
本当に気持ち良かったです^ ^
係員の方もとても良い人でしたし、
最後に海に落としてくれるのも、大喜びしたらもう2回サービスしてくれました！
また利用するか友達に勧めたいと思います。

On the first night in Waikiki, I planned to relax at a Hawaiian buffet dinner and show, but I was suddenly filled with excitement. The two-hour dinner and show were amazing. I want to participate again next time.

ワイキキ初日の夜。ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショーでゆっくり過ごす予定が、いきなりの大興奮。２時間のディナー＆ショーに大感激。次回も参加したいです。

I chose the 90m option. I was a bit anxious since I have a slight fear of heights, but I had so much fun! I didn't feel much fear of the height, and even though I was just strapped in with a simple belt and thought, "Is this really okay?" I felt stable and enjoyed the view from above the sea, with plenty of time to take lots of photos! The promised splash into the sea at just the right moment really boosted my excitement!

When I made the reservation, it said that the 90m flight lasts about 5 minutes, but it felt like we flew for much longer.

The photos were $30 for the data on an SD card, but I could check to make sure they turned out well before purchasing, which was reassuring. They took a lot of pictures and included the surrounding scenery, so even though it was a bit pricey, I thought it was worth it for the memories!

The tour lasted about 2 hours, so there was plenty of time to do other activities afterward, making it perfect for those who want to stay active!

I had a great time, so I highly recommend it!

高さ90mを選びました。
若干、高所恐怖症なのでたのしめるか不安でしたが、、、とっても楽しめました♪
高さの恐怖もそんなに感じず、簡単なベルトに縛られただけで、内心、大丈夫？って思ったけど、安定感があり、海上からの景色を楽しめ、沢山写真を撮る余裕もありました！
お約束の海ポチャも、絶妙なタイミングで更にテンションが上がりました！

予約の時に90mは5分位飛んでると書いてありましたが、もっと長く飛んでいた感じがしました。

写真は、データをSDカードに入れて30ドルでしたが、ちゃんと撮れているか確認してから購入出来るし安心です。
沢山撮ってくれたし、周りの景色も入れてくれたので、ちょっと高いけど思い出にと思ったら、買って損はないと思いました！

ツアー時間も2時間程度なので戻ってからでも充分行動出来るし、アクティブに動きたい人にもぴったりやと思います！

とっても楽しかったので、オススメです♪

We enjoyed this hike very much. The shuttle pick up from our hotel was great, as we did not have a rental car. The driver was kind and helpful, even though we did have trouble understanding him at times. He was on time for pick up at our hotel and on time for pick up after the hike. We would recommend this tour!

Enjoyed experience, but don't leave anything on the bus.
Our driver Patrick said it would be OK to leave items on bus during tour, because he would lock up the bus, but failed to tell us that he would go back to the city to return other guests on the shorter tour and return for us later, hence my wife's pink shawl went missing
Not happy wife

This is a great way to learn the history Of what happen in the war! Can't miss going here you learn so much and appreciate all the soldiers who have fought for us and protect our country.

I was honestly a bit anxious since it was overseas and had fewer reviews compared to other tours. We waited on the first floor of the hotel for our pickup, wondering if they would really come. However, they arrived almost on time and were friendly from the start. There were three groups of foreign tourists, and they made sure to engage with everyone equally, which was wonderful.

I saw reviews mentioning that valuables could be stored, and I thought they would be kept in the car, but instead, they were stored in a lockbox on the beach. Also, I was instructed to wear my swimsuit beforehand, so I participated in just my swimsuit from the beginning. However, being in the water for a long time can get cold, so changing clothes is definitely necessary.

While there were some minor shortcomings in the guidance, both Dan, the husband, and Chie, the wife, were very nice people, making it a tour you can enjoy with peace of mind. I think it's recommended. Even if the weather is bad or we didn't see any sea turtles, that's just nature, so it's to be expected.

海外の、しかも他のツアーに比べて口コミも少なかったところだったので正直不安でした。ホテルの1階で待機してピックアップしてもらう形でしたので、本当に来るのかなぁ…と。
ですが、ほぼ定刻通りに迎えに来てくれて、尚且つ最初から気さくに話してくれ、外国人観光客と一緒の3組だったのですがちゃんと全員にバランスよく話し掛けてくれる気の遣える素晴らしい方です。
貴重品が預けられるという口コミを見ましたが、てっきり車の中に保管するのかと思っていたら砂浜に鍵の掛かる箱に保管をしました。
あとは、事前に水着を着用しとくように指示があったので最初から水着だけで参加したのですが、ずっと水に入っていると寒くなるので、やはり着替えは必要ですね。
若干案内不足なところは否めませんが、旦那さんのダンさんと奥様のチエさん共に非常に良い人で、安心して楽しめるツアーですのでオススメだと思います。
天気が悪いとか、海ガメにあえなかったとか言ってもそれは自然が相手なのですから当然のことだと思います。

The shuttle ride was good,, picked us up at our motel. The snorkimg was good too but the snorkel mask weren't very good

Pearl Harbor was wonderful.
They have added a lot since we were there 35 years ago. Enjoyed it as much today as we did then. Highly recommended for anyone going to Hawaii ,

In London, I love musicals, and in Paris, I enjoy cabaret shows. This time, I went without any prior knowledge, but it was incredibly fun. When we went, the lineup included Elvis, Michael, Madonna, and Britney. When Elvis first appeared, it was so similar that I burst out laughing. As for whether to sign up for the green room tour... I'm not sure. The seats were definitely in the front row, and it was fun to see the stage setup in advance. However, the quality of the welcome drink was a bit lacking, haha.

ロンドンではミュージカル、パリではキャバレー通いのショー好きな私。今回、予備知識なしに行ってみたけれど、サイコ―に楽しかった。私たちが行ったときにはエルビス、マイケル、マドンナ、ブリトニーのラインナップ。最初にエルビスが登場したときは似すぎて爆笑でした。グリーンルームのツアーで申し込むべきか否かは…どうかなー。確かに座席は最前列だったし、舞台装置が事前に見られるのも楽しかった。でもウェルカムドリンクの質は、イマイチでしたよｗ。

The boat rocked, but since I took motion sickness medication beforehand, it was actually enjoyable. The staff was cheerful and fun, and before I knew it, we were flying—laughs.

I think the flight lasted about 10-15 minutes, but during that time, I was just filled with excitement. Everything else became unimportant—laughs.

There was only one other group besides me, so we didn't spend too long on the boat, but I think the more groups there are, the longer you'll be on the boat, so that's a matter of luck.

Also, I bought photos at the end, but when I looked at them after returning to Japan, there were about 30 pictures of someone completely different, which was disappointing. Even though it was on a CD-R, I should have checked during my stay.

For those who will experience this in the future, don't forget to check the photos!

船は揺れましたが、事前に酔い止めを飲んだのでむしろ楽しめる程度の揺れでした。
スタッフも陽気で楽しかったし、何より飛ぶまでの手際が良く気づいたら飛んでました笑

飛ぶ時間は10-15分程度だったと思いますが、飛んでいる間はただただ興奮しっぱなし。
全てがどうでもよくなります笑

私の他に1組だけだったのでそれほど長くは船の上にいませんでしたが、組数が多くなるほど船上での時間がおおくなるのでそこは運かなと思いました。

あと、最後に写真を購入したのですが日本に帰ってから見たら全く別人の写真が30枚ほど入っていてガッカリ。
CD-Rだったとはいえ、滞在中に確認しとくべきでした。

これから体験する方は、写真の確認も忘れずに！！

Since our reservation was at 8:00 in the morning, it turned out that we were the only three people there. We requested 150 meters, and it felt really nice to enjoy the refreshing morning air. Next time, I would like to request the longest option of 180 meters.

朝、8:00からの予約だったせいかなんと、私たち3人だけでした。150メートルをお願いしたんですが、朝の爽やかな空気を満喫して本当に気持ち良かったです。今度は一番長い180メートルでお願いしたいです。

I forgot my "age" (laughs). The friend I went with is from the Presley generation (in their 60s), while I'm from the Michael generation (in my 50s). I was the first to welcome Presley and take a commemorative photo, and my friend was already teary-eyed. The show started with Presley coming out while rowing a boat, and once again, there were tears. I don't know much about Presley, so I wasn't as moved. However, when Lady Gaga appeared as the second performer, I was completely knocked out (I own all her CDs) and got into the groove with the music. I couldn't hear the silence around me, and even though I didn't know the real Gaga, I found myself shouting "Gaga! Gaga!" Next was Michael Jackson! I was convinced that Michael is truly alive. After all, right in front of me is Michael, no matter what anyone says. His bold dancing was infused with delicate emotional expression, and this time I became teary-eyed. Amazing!! This is what applause and cheers are all about. This was my second trip to Hawaii, but my first visit was 25 years ago, and I don't think there was a show this wonderful back then. I'm really glad I went. It has become a treasure in my heart. After returning home, I've been bragging to my other friends. I think it's a must-see when you go to Hawaii. It was so much fun—I feel like I've rejuvenated. Thank you very much!!

私、自分の「歳」を忘れてしまいました（笑）
一緒に行った友達はプレスリー世代（６０代）
私はマイケル世代（５０代）で一番最初にプレスリーのお出迎え＆記念写真を撮ってもらい友達は既に涙目状態ウルウルでした。ショーはプレスリーが船を漕ぎながら出て来てまたもや涙涙。私はあまりプレスリーを知らないので感動がイマイチ。しかし２番手のガガ様の登場で私は完全にノックアウト状態になり（彼女のＣＤ全て保有）曲に合わせてノリノリになりました。まわりの静止も耳には入らず本物のガガ様を知らない私ですがガガ！ガガ！と叫んでしまいました。続いてはマイケルジャクソン！マイケルって本当は生きていると確信しました。だって私の目の前にいるのは誰が何と云おうとマイケルだからです。彼の大胆なダンスの中に繊細な感情表現が浸透していて今度は私が涙目ウルウルになりました。素晴らしい！！拍手喝采とはこの事です。ハワイへは２度目ですが最初の渡ハは２５年も前でしてこんなに素晴らしいショーは無かったと思います。
本当に行って良かったです。私の心の中の宝物になりました。帰国後も他のお友達に自慢しまくっています。ハワイに行ったら絶対外せないと思います。
楽しかった～　　なんだか若返ったようです。ありがとうございました！！

We particularly found our guide Ernal Smith to be informative, entertaining and caring with enthusiasm and excellent and expansive knowledge. It was definitely a highlight of our Hawaiian visit.

I participated in parasailing for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. I was scared before actually doing it, but once I tried it, it wasn't as scary as I thought. In fact, it was calm up in the air, and it felt great.

初めてパラセイリングに参加しましたが
とても楽しかったです。
実際にやる前までは怖かったのですが、
実際にやってみると思ったほど怖く無かったです。
むしろ上空では穏やかで、気持ちがよかったです。

We toured Pearl harbor and USS Missouri and Patrick was so informative and helpful. He made the experience the best on the island. I would suggest Patrick and Uss Missouri again and again. Thanks Patrick for amazing time!

What can I say other than it was amazing. Completely astounding and phenomenal views of Waikiki. This is a must do for anyone. Not scarry at all if you think it will be. Had a blast!

well organised helpful and informative driver an excursion that should not be missed suitable for all ages

I had gone parasailing in Saipan several times, but this was my first time in Hawaii. In Hawaii, you can choose the height, fly with multiple people (in Saipan, it's about 45 meters for one person), request photos, and even get a nice splash in the ocean at the end—it was truly amazing! I considered other companies, but I made the right choice by opting for the one that offered photos (since my digital camera takes grainy and blurry shots, I left it to the professionals with a DSLR★), the location was very convenient (right in front of the Hilton★), and the captain's skills were excellent (you can choose to get your feet, half-body, or full-body splashed). I highly recommend it!!! By the way, after much deliberation about the height, I ultimately chose 90 meters★ (I thought it would be disappointing if the photos were too far away, and even considering the $30 for photos and tips, it was within a reasonable price range). Also, I never get motion sickness, but whenever I get on a small boat, I always take motion sickness medication, no matter how short the trip is (based on my diving experience).

パラセイルはサイパンでも何度かやっていましたが、ハワイは今回初めてでした。　ハワイはなんといっても、高さが選べて×複数で飛行でき（サイパンは45ｍくらい×１人乗り）、写真も頼め、最後に海にポチャっとつけてもらえるなど、至れり尽くせりで感動しました！　他社とも迷いましたが、写真を頼めて（デジカメは豆粒＆ブレるので一眼レフにお任せして正解★）、場所がとても近くて（ヒルトンの目の前の海★）、キャプテンの腕も絶妙（足ポチャ・半身ポチャ・全身ポチャ選べます）、とてもオススメです！！！　ちなみに私は高さを迷いに迷った挙げ句、結局90メートルにしました★（写真が遠すぎたら残念な気がした＆写真の30ドルとチップを見越しても手の届く金額なので）　あと、私はのりもの酔いは全くしませんが、小さな船に乗るときは、どんなに短時間でも必ず酔い止めを飲んでいます（ダイビングでの経験上）

Experience the thrill of the sea and sky with a thrilling parasailing adventure! Parasailing by Extreme Parasail at a height of 150 meters was unexpectedly fun, and the duration was great.

空中散歩で海と空をスリリングに体感！パラセイリング by エキストリームパラセイル ＝１５０メートルの高さはなかなか予想外で楽しく、時間が長くよかったです。

Wow, breathtaking views! Was nervous at first but needed not be. It was not scary at all and well worth it. A must do for all.

I experienced parasailing at a height of 90 meters! The wind was very strong that day, and it was thrilling enough to make me think I might fall, but it was so much fun! However, my partner is afraid of heights, so they were really scared! Even I, who usually isn't that bothered, was quite nervous at 90 meters! I thought the staff would only speak English, but they occasionally spoke Japanese too (including some Japanese jokes, haha). They were very friendly, and I was really satisfied! They also offered tips and photo sales, so it might be a good idea to bring some money! (By the way, I came empty-handed that day.) After the rain, there seemed to be a rainbow behind us, and I hesitated to buy a photo, but I decided against it because of the backlight (laughs). There might be opportunities to capture photos with rainbows, so I definitely recommend it! I requested a shuttle, but there is a boat right near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so if you're staying nearby, you can easily walk back.

高さ90mのパラセーリングを体験しました！この日風がとても強く、落ちるんじゃないかと思ったくらいスリルがありましたがとても楽しかったです！ただ相方は高所恐怖症のため、もうビビりまくり！普段それほどでもない私でも90mの高さにはさすがにビビりました！スタッフの方も英語オンリーだと思っていたのですが、ちょいちょい日本語を話してくれるので、(日本のギャグも。笑)とてもフレンドリーな方達でとても満足しました！チップと写真の販売なんかもしていたので、ある程度、
お金は持っていった方が良いかもしれないです！(ちなみに私はこの日手ぶらで来ちゃいました。)雨が降ったあと背後に虹が出ていたみたいで、写真を買おうか迷いましたが、逆光なのでやめました（笑）もしかしたら、そういった虹が出ている写真も撮れるかもしれないので、ぜひオススメです！送迎を頼んだのですが、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジからすぐの所に船があるので、近くにお泊まりの方は徒歩でも十分帰れます。

It was my first time paragliding, and it was so much fun. I booked for 90 meters, but there was another foreign family with us, and since it was the last time slot, I think we flew over 90 meters.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
90メートルで予約しましたが、私達ともう1組外人の家族、そして最終の時間帯であったため90メートル以上飛んでたと思います。
