All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

- I made a reservation for around 1:30 PM on the day of, but there were almost no available spots, and it was quite tight.
- We participated as two adults (one of whom was just observing) and two children (a fourth grader and a third grader).
- I mistakenly booked for two participants and two observers (boat ride only), but I requested an upgrade on-site, and they were able to accommodate us.
- However, please note that the maximum capacity for sailing at one time is either two adults or one adult and two children.
- We sailed first, but after that, it was mandatory for others to board the boat, so be cautious of the children's motion sickness.
- I thought it might be scary, but the way I sat with my bottom on a thick rope significantly reduced the feeling of fear. The sensation of floating was amazing!

・当日朝予約の１３時半頃でしたが、空きはほぼなくギリギリでした。
・大人２人（うち１名は見学）、子供（小学４年生、３年生）で参加。
・予約を間違えて、２名参加、２名見学（ボート乗船のみ）で取ってしまったのですが、現地でアップグレードをお願いして、対応いただけました。
・ただ、１回でセイリングできる最大が、大人２名もしくは大人１名と子供２名なので注意。
・最初にセイリングしましたが、そのあとは他の方のためにボート乗船は必須で、子供の乗り物酔いは注意です。
・怖いかなと思ったのですが、太めのひもにお尻が乗る形で恐怖感はかなり軽減されました。浮遊感は最高でした！

The last time I booked the same tour, we got on the boat and put on life jackets, but it was too windy, so we just went back without flying. In that case, you can choose to reschedule or cancel, but the $1 you pay at the hut is non-refundable.

This time was a revenge attempt. However, for someone like me who is scared of airplanes and roller coasters, parasailing is a big adventure. I chose the lower option of 120 meters, but it was still scary. Groups took turns flying, and once you sit down and get set up, you just take off without any time to mentally prepare, which actually makes it easier to fly, haha.

There was a little bit of turbulence in the air, but for the most part, it was calm and felt great. Just keep in mind that the boat itself sways a lot, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand, just as a precaution.

Also, there are two staff members on board, and everything is in English. But don’t worry, you can communicate through gestures.

前回同じツアーを申し込んだ時には船にのってライフジャケット等を着けたのですが、風が強くて飛ばずそのまま帰ってきました。その場合は、リスケかキャンセルか選べますが、小屋で初めに支払う1ドルは返ってきません。
今回はリベンジでした。しかし飛行機やジェットコースターも怖い私にとってパラセイリングは大冒険です。低い120mの方にしましたが、それでも怖いです。グループごとに順番に飛ばされて行きましたが、座ってセットされたら勝手に飛ばされるのでもう心の準備とかないので逆に飛べます笑
空では少しだけ揺れましたが、大体は穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ただ船自体はとても揺れるので、お守り代わりにでも、事前に酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします。
また、スタッフの方2人乗船していますが全部英語です。でもジェスチャーで伝わるのでご心配なく。

Boys were up and on the boards in n time! Thank you crew for all you do!

Do this tour- you get to see the entire farm in different ways! and lunch was easy to feed our larger family too!

I was with my child, but I didn't have any worries at all. It was nice to take it slow while diving, and I was glad that we could handle the changes in pressure.

子供と一緒でしたが、何も心配入りませんでした。ゆっくりセンスイしていくので、気圧の変化にも対応できて良かったです

I had ordered and paid for a life jacket in advance, but I couldn't rent it on the day of my visit... I couldn't understand the English, and when I arrived and tried to communicate, the bus had already left (crying). The sea was very clear, and I could see the fish.

ライフジャケットを事前に注文、支払いしていましたが、当日レンタルできませんでした…。英語の理解が及ばず、到着して伝えようとしたらもうバスが行ってしまっていました(泣)海はとても透明で魚も見れました。

The meeting place was easy to find. However, there was a bench at the meeting spot, but it was hot without any shade.

Onboard, they were friendly and talked to us. We were the only Japanese people, but they kept us laughing the whole time.

When heading out to sea, the waves were strong, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take some motion sickness medication in advance.

We also requested paid photography, and it was very good since we had a small child with us! I recommend it.

As for the height, even my 7-year-old child was able to enjoy it safely! I will participate again next year!

集合場所はすぐに分かりました。ただ、集合場所はベンチがありましたが、陰がなく暑かったです。

船内でもフレンドリーに話しかけてくれて、日本人は私達だけでしたが終始笑わせてくれました。

沖に出る際は波が強く、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めなどを飲まれた方が良いかもしれません。

有料の撮影もお願いしましたが、小さな子連れだった為、とても良かったです！おすすめします。

高さですが、7歳の小さな子供も安心して楽しめました！
また来年も参加させて頂きます！

I really wanted to try it, even though it was expensive, so I paid for three people and went for the experience. On the day, there was no wind and the waves were calm, but we managed to ride the waves three times. It was my first time going out to the waters off Waikiki, and it was truly beautiful! Since we didn't have enough people, three guys joined us on the canoe. They were part of the beach service staff, and it seemed like it was their first time on a canoe as well, but we all had fun following the instructor's guidance together. When we went out to sea, the instructor suddenly signaled us to jump into the water, which was a lot of fun! I'm really glad I participated!

どうしても、やってみたくて高く付くけど3人分支払い体験して来ました。当日は、風も無く波は穏やかでしたが3回波に乗れました。初めてワイキキの沖の方まで行きましたが本当に綺麗！人数も足りないので3人のGUY達も一緒に乗ってくれました。ビーチサービスのバイト君たちで彼らもカヌーは初めてだったようで師匠の指示に一緒に従いながら楽しめました。沖に行くと師匠の合図でいきなり海へ飛び込んだりと楽しませてくれました♪参加して良かったです！

This couple is very bright, charming, and wonderful, and they guide together. They know everything about Hanauma Bay, making entry very smooth. They are aware of where the fish are and where sea turtles might come, so we were able to see many colorful fish. When I went before, I only had transportation and went on my own, so I couldn't visit many fish spots, but this time I had a lot of fun. When you're on your own, you can get swept away or feel anxious, but even if you get separated, they stay close and guide you, which gives you a sense of security. We swam from one end of the bay to the other. Even in August, the sea is a bit cold, so I borrowed a wetsuit to avoid getting hurt by the coral. It was great that I could rent one on the spot without a reservation. I think this tour will satisfy both small children and adults. Since it's an early morning tour, we returned to the hotel around 10:30, allowing us to spend the day meaningfully. I highly recommend it!

ご夫妻２人でガイドをされているとっても明るくてチャーミングで素敵なご夫妻です。ハナウマ湾の事を知り尽くしているため入場するのもとてもスムーズです。お魚がいる場所やウミガメが来そうな場所も把握されているため沢山のカラフルな魚を見る事が出来ました。以前行った時は送迎のみで個人で行ったためあまり魚のいる場所に行けませんでしたが今回はとても楽しめました。個人だと流されてしまったり不安がありますが、はぐれてしまっても前後についていてくれるため、こっちだよーと引っ張ってくれて安心感が違います。湾の端から端まで泳ぎました。8月でも少し海が冷たいため、そして珊瑚で怪我をしないためウエットスーツを借りました。予約しなくてもその場で借りることができ良かったです。小さなお子さんも大人も大満足のツアーだと思います。朝早いためホテルに10時半くらいに戻って来ますので一日を有意義に過ごせます。おすすめです！

We experienced a 150m flight for three people.

I think you'll easily find the hut mentioned in the instructions as the meeting point.

Once you arrive, you'll be smoothly guided from there.

After boarding, place your shoes and belongings under the boat seats. After putting on the gear, we headed out about 5 to 10 minutes offshore, and then each group started one by one. Once each person is attached to the parachute with a carabiner, they are released without any signal. (laughs)

You can bring your smartphone or GoPro at your own risk. I held my smartphone tightly to avoid dropping it while taking pictures. It's generally stable, but be cautious as it can suddenly sway depending on the wind and the boat's movement.

It was a clear day, so it was the best 10 minutes. We could see the Waikiki skyline, Diamond Head, and the ocean all at once. My 6-year-old son was thrilled the entire time. It was an amazing experience.

It's obvious, but I think the outcome depends on the weather.

Additionally, the staff will take photos from the boat, and after the experience, you can download all the photos (about 150 to 200, depending on the group) to your smartphone and receive them on an SD card for $40. They will let you check the photos on a tablet before you purchase.

家族3人150mを体験しました。

集合場所は説明に書いてある小屋がすぐ見つかると思います。

着けばあとはスムーズに案内されます。

乗り込んだら履物、持ち物をボートの椅子の下に置きます。
装具をつけ5〜10分弱位沖合に出た所で、1組ずつスタート。
1人1人カラビナでパラシュートに取り付けられたら、合図もなく放たれます。笑

スマホやGoPro等は自己責任で持って行く事が可能。
私はスマホを直に持ち落とさないようにしっかり握って撮影しました。
基本的には安定してますが、風やボートの動き次第で突然揺れたりするので、ご注意を。

当日は快晴だったので、最高の10分間でした。
ワイキキのビル群もダイヤモンドヘッドも海も全て見渡せました。
6歳の息子も終始大興奮。最高の体験になりました。

当たり前の話ですが、結果は天気次第だと思います。

また、別途写真はボートからスタッフが撮影してくれて、終わった後に$40払えば全ての写真（約150〜200枚位、グループによって異なる）をスマホにダウンロード&SDカードで貰えます。購入前にタブレットで確認させてくれます。

The staff on board are friendly, but to be honest, their treatment of guests is quite careless. I guess this is typical for Americans, but they rush around the ship, stepping on guests' feet and roughly pulling guests' bodies while preparing for parasailing—actions that would be considered rude in Japan. On the day of our trip, the sea was rough, and many people suffered from seasickness. If there were a service that provided a "seasickness warning" based on the weather forecast in advance, it would help many guests.

船内のスタッフはフレンドリーなのだけど、客扱いがハッキリ言って雑。アメリカ人だからこんなモンなのだろうけど、船内をバタバタ動いて客の足を踏んだり、パラセイリングの準備する際に力任せに客の体を引っ張ったり、日本では失礼に当たる行為を平気でやります。当日は海が荒れて、船酔い者が続出でした。天気予報を見て、事前に「船酔い警報」でも通知してくれるサービスがあれば救われるお客さんも増えるでしょう。

The food and the show were amazing. Above all, the intensity of the fire dance and the power of Michael Jackson's performance left a lasting impression on me.

食事からショーまでさいこーでした。
なんといっても、ファイヤーダンスの迫力、マイケルジャクソンの迫力、全てが記憶に残りました。

Hanauma Bay can be accessed by rental car or trolley, but there is a limit on the number of people allowed in the bay (reservations are required), so for those who prefer convenience, booking through Veltra is a good option. While there were fewer corals compared to the islands of Okinawa, since I went in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of fish and the number of larger fish. Although it was an early morning tour, there were initially few people (the seawater was a bit cold at first), and the morning-only tour was more than enough to enjoy.

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the meeting point was at the valet area (hotel entrance) of the neighboring Ilikai Hotel, which was accommodating in English, and there were no issues at all (there was hardly any conversation). By the way, the people I went with were from Germany, Brazil, and Asia. An English speaker among us handled the communication. Inside Hanauma Bay, we had free time. There were lockers available for valuables, but we didn't use them (we took turns going into the water as a family). You might want to bring drinks (and maybe some light snacks). Be aware that there are restrictions on the types of sunscreen you can use. They provided snorkeling gear, including fins, but given the current situation, we only brought our own snorkels. We thoroughly enjoyed our time until the return meeting time, and they drove us back to the morning meeting point. After a short break in the afternoon, we went shopping. I'm glad I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time!

ハナウマ湾はレンタカーやトローリーでも行けますが、湾に入るには人数制限（予約）があるので、色々と面倒な人はベルトラ予約が気楽です。沖縄の島々よりはサンゴは少なかったですが、AMにいったこともあり色々な魚の群衆や大きい魚が思ったより沢山いました。朝早いツアーでしたが、逆に人も最初は少なく（少々海水が最初冷たかった）、ＡＭのみのツアーで十分楽しめました。
ヒルトンビーチリゾートに宿泊していましたが、集合場所はとなりのホテルのイリカイホテルのバレットエリア（ホテルの入口）で、英語対応でしたが全く問題ありませんでした（ほぼ会話する事がない）。因みに一緒に行った人たちはドイツ、ブラジル、アジアの人。逆に英語のわかる人が代表で対応してくれました。ハナウマ湾の中は自由行動。貴重品用のロッカーありとのことでしたが使用しませんでした（家族の順番で海に入って対応）。飲み物は必要かも（軽食程度も）。日焼け止めは種類に規制があるのでご注意を。シュノーケルは足ひれ含めて貸してくれましたが、このご時世我々はシュノーケルのみ持参しました。帰りの集合時間まで十分に堪能して、朝の集合場所まで車で送ってくれました。午後は少し休憩後にショッピングなどに。初めてだったのでハナウマ湾行ってよかったです！

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also concerts featuring musicians from past generations, which was very enjoyable. Additionally, the fire dance was incredibly impressive! It's definitely worth going!

フラダンスだけでなく歴代のミュージシャンのコンサートも付いていてとても楽しめました。更にはファイヤーダンスも迫力満点！行く価値あります！

We participated as a family of ten. Some of us were experiencing a Segway for the first time, but the two instructors were kind and thorough in their teaching, allowing everyone to maneuver the Segway well and enjoy themselves. Since it was an evening experience, it wasn't too hot, and the breeze was pleasant. We were able to see wall art, stroll through the streets, and enjoy the wind and scenery by the seaside, visiting various places in a short amount of time. Our family of ten was able to fully enjoy Hawaii, creating the best memories of our family trip. Segways are amazing! We want to enjoy it together again.

家族10人で参加しました。セグウェイ初体験の者もいましたが、インストラクターのお二人が、親切丁寧に教えてくださり、みんなうまくセグウェイを動かして楽しむことができました。夕方の体験でしたので、暑すぎず風が心地よかったでし。ウォールアートを見たりや、街並みを散策したり、海辺の風と景色を眺めたりと、短時間で様々な場所まで行くことができました。家族10人で、ハワイを満喫することができて、家族旅行の最高の思い出ができました。セグウェイ最高‼️また、みんなで楽しみたいです。

The weather was nice, and the wind was fairly strong, allowing us to enjoy stable sailing. We created great memories as a family of three. The promised Japan was also very pleasant. The boat ride to and from was quite rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. There was an incident where a young woman from a Chinese group vomited on a white person sitting next to her. The boat stopped, and the victim jumped into the sea to wash off the mess.

天気もよく、風もそこそこ強く、安定したセイリングを楽しみました。家族3人で、いい想い出ができました。お約束のジャパンも気持ち良かったです。行き帰りの船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止め薬をおすすめします。中国陣グループの若い女性が、となりに座っていた白人にゲロをぶちまけるというハプニングがありました。船を止めて、被害者は海にとびこみ汚れを洗い流していました。

I went expecting a Japanese magician, but it was a different magician. Still, it was fun. However, I think you can't really enjoy it if you don't understand any English.

日本人のマジシャンを期待して行ったけど違うマジシャンでした。それでも楽しかったです。ただ全く英語が分からないと楽しめないなとは思います。

I had a great experience!

However, the meeting point was a bit difficult to find, and I almost arrived right at the meeting time, but they were very kind and accommodating.

楽しい経験ができました！

ただ、集合場所が少し分かりにくく、集合時間ギリギリになってしまいましたが、優しく対応してくれました。

We participated as a couple, and with one more person, we formed a small group of three, all of whom had experience with Segways, so we quickly got to practice and then hit the streets. Our guide was very good at Japanese (I initially thought he was Japanese) and was interesting to talk to, making him a great person. Riding along the coast with the refreshing breeze was the best. The two hours flew by. At the end, my husband accidentally fell due to a sudden brake, but since he had never fallen off a Segway before, it was a good experience to have. Thank you for the band-aid. I definitely want to ride again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦2人で参加。あともう1人の参加で3人の少人数グループ、そして3人ともセグウェイ経験者だったので、練習はサクッとですぐに街に出られました。ガイドさんは日本語が上手で（最初日本人かと思った）話も面白くて良い人でした。爽やかな風を受けながら海沿いを疾走するのは最高でした。2時間あっという間。最後に夫が急ブレーキでうっかり転んでしまいましたが、今までセグウェイで転んだ事がなかったのでこういう事もあるという良い経験になりました。絆創膏をありがとうございました。また次にハワイに行ったら絶対乗りたい！

We participated as a three-generation family, from elementary school students to those in their 70s. My mother, who is in her 70s and sensitive to sunlight with frequent bathroom needs, was concerned about not being a burden to others and considered what activities she could join. We decided to try the submarine experience.

The boat to the submarine was large and had restrooms, and as we headed out to sea, we could feel the Hawaiian sea breeze. I believe that as long as one can manage to descend the ladder to switch to the submarine, even older adults can take on this challenge. We were able to see both sharks and turtles. Even though my mother doesn’t understand much English, she said she had a great time, so I think this activity is perfect for participants of all ages.

小学生から70代の3世代で参加しました。
70代で日差しに弱くトイレが近い母親が、他のみんなに迷惑にならないで参加できるものはないかと考察して潜水艦に挑戦しました。
潜水艦に乗るまでの船は大型でトイレもあり、沖に出るのでハワイの潮風を感じることができ、沖で潜水艦に乗り換えるはしごを降りることさえできれば、年配者でも挑戦できると思います。
サメもカメも見ることができました。英語があまりわからなくても、楽しかったと言っていたので、幅広い世代で参加するにはもってこいだと思います。

It starts with a buffet. You can enjoy hula shows, ukulele performances, and hula lessons while you eat. The food was very delicious. A Mai Tai is included as well. After that, we moved to the theater. Although the seats were ordinary, we were seated about three rows from the front, in the middle, so we had a great view. I wasn't expecting much, but we got to see a wonderful show. I thought the Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators would just be look-alikes, but their singing and dancing were so amazing that I could mistake them for the real deal. I'm really glad I participated in this show. On the way back, I was able to take photos with the cast, and I was very satisfied.

最初にビュッフェから始まります。フラのショーやウクレレの弾き語り、フラレッスンなど、食べている間も楽しめます。お料理はとてもおいしかったです。マイタイ一杯もついています。その後シアターに移動します。普通の席でしたが、前から3番目の真ん中あたりに座れて、とてもよく見えました。そんなに期待していなかったのですが、素晴らしいショーが見られました。マイケルジャクソン、プレスリーは「そっくりさんでしょ」と始まる前は思っていましたが、歌やダンスも本物かと間違うほどに素晴らしく、本当にこちらのショーに参加して良かったです。帰りにはキャストの方々と写真も撮れて、大満足でした。

This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:

1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.

Very highly recommended!

I was a little late, but it was helpful that the boat hadn't left yet.
It was the last flight in the evening, but it took a long time to get through the city traffic. Please be careful.
The flight was a lot of fun, but you will be dropped into the sea once before landing, so make sure to wear a swimsuit.

時間に少し遅れてしまいましたがボートが出る前だったので助かりました。
夕方最後のフライトでしたが市内の渋滞で移動にとても時間がかかりました。ご注意下さい。
フライトはとても楽しかったですが着地前に海に一回落とされますので水着必着です。

The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.

Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.

朝一番でのシュノーケルで水の透明度が高くとても良かったです。アザラシも現れてとても可愛いかったです。
帰るころには砂が舞って少し濁っていたので朝一にしてとても良かったです。
シュノーケル等レンタルがついていましたが運転手さんが私達に渡し忘れるハプニングもありました。
入場料はまとめて代表者が払うので現金のみしかダメでした。ご注意下さい。

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Surprisingly, the water in the morning was quite cold, and it was advised to wear a wetsuit, which we rented, and that was accurate! We also rented prescription masks, and both my child, who has poor eyesight, and I were able to enjoy watching cute fish (we even saw schools of fish!) and turtles without feeling cold.

I suddenly became scared of the ocean after not snorkeling for a while and couldn't swim at first, but the instructor, Chieko, kindly held my hand and helped me swim. Another instructor, Dan, also gave gentle advice! As a professional, he took us around to spots where we could see fish. Dan also provided various guidance in Japanese during the car transfer.

In the end, it cost quite a bit, but it was definitely worth the money! We made wonderful memories of Hawaii! Thank you very much!

9歳の子供と2人で参加しました。
意外と朝の海の水は冷たく、ウェットスーツを着たほうが良いとのアドバイスで借りましたが、これが正確でした！
度付きマスクも借りて、目の悪い子供共々、寒さを感じることなく、かわいい魚(魚の群れも観られました！)と亀を観ることができました。
私は久しぶりのシュノーケリングに、急に海が怖くなり最初は泳げなかったのですが、インストラクターのチエコさんが優しく手を引いてくれ、泳ぐことができました。
同じくインストラクターのダンも優しくアドバイス！プロならでは！で、魚が観られるスポットを廻ってくれました。
ダンはクルマの送迎でも日本語で色々と案内してくれました。
結果的にお金は大分掛かりましたが、払うだけの価値は充分ありました！
よいハワイの思い出ができました！
本当にありがとうございました！

It was the best luau show I've ever seen.

The regular luau show part was good, but the Elvis and Michael sections were truly moving.

今まで見たルアウショーの中で1番でした。

通常のルアウショー部分も良かったですが
エルビスとマイケル部分は感動モノでした。

I can’t believe I did this in Pacific Ocean.
Best thrilling experience I have ever had and Hawaiian Parasailing made it so easy. The captain and his crew was awesome.

Wes is the best! Very informative! We learned a lot!

It's a great time ! Yeeeeeeeeeee! Boat on boat action

Awsome trip. I'm 66 and would never scuba dive or even snorkel. The sub let me see all the colorful fish, and even a shark underwater. They were all over the sunken ship. So much more wonderful than watching a movie.
