All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Everything was great, staff was friendly. We went first thing in the morning so we got the boat to our selfs. Definitely not as scary as it seems! And I was SUPER scared at first, but I think I would definitely do it again! Recommend to get the pictures, they came out great!

It was the best experience for my first time. The crew members were fun and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii for both my wife and me. There was also a photo session (for an additional fee), and we are still enjoying it after returning home.

初めての体験で最高でした。
クルーのお兄さん(？)も楽しい方々で、盛り上げて頂きました。家内共々良いハワイの思い出となりました。写真撮影もあり(別料金)、帰宅後も楽しんでます。

The fusion of hula dancing and rock shows. This is exactly the show I wanted to see in Hawaii. During dinner, a ukulele singer came right in front of us and sang "Forever and Ever" in Japanese, which was moving!

Many decades ago, I saw a Polynesian show, but I got a bit bored with the long hula dance and fire show. The heartfelt sound of the ukulele still lingers in my ears.

The subsequent Rock-a-Hula show featured wonderful dances and songs by impersonators of Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing, fire dancing, modern dance, and zombie dance, showcasing a wide range of performances that captivated me. I was also impressed by the high level of the dancers!

And the best part was that I was in a VIP seat at the end of the stairs, so I got to shake hands with Elvis, which was exhilarating!! After the show, I was able to take photos with Michael and Elvis, creating truly enjoyable memories of my trip to Hawaii.

I am grateful to the staff for organizing such a wonderful event.

フラダンスとロックショーの融合。これこそがハワイで観たかったショーです。ディナー時、目の前にウクレレ歌手が来てくださり、（君といつまでも）を日本語で歌ってくださり、感激！
何十年も前にポリネシアンショーを拝見しましたが、長いフラダンスとファイヤーショーに最後は少し飽きてしまいました。心のこもったウクレレの音色は今も耳に残っています。
そのあとのロック・ア・フラショーは、エルビスとマイケルのそっくりさんによる素晴らしいダンスと歌に加えてフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、モダンダンス、ゾンビダンスと幅広いジャンルのパフォーマンスが観られ、どれも引き付けられました。ダンサーさんたちのレベルの高さにも感服！
そして、一番嬉しかったのは階段端のVIP席だったので、エルビスさんと握手できて、大興奮！！
ショー後もマイケルさん、エルビスさんとの写真撮影をしていただき、ほんとにハワイ旅行の楽しい思い出になりました。
このような企画考えていただき、スタッフさんたちに感謝です。

We departed from the hotel (Moana Surfrider) at 7:30 for an 8:30 meeting. If you go from Kalakaua Avenue through the Fort DeRussy Boardwalk, you'll reach the parking lot where you can easily see the parasailing sign. It took us about 40 minutes to walk there at a leisurely pace.

The view from 150 meters was spectacular, offering a panoramic view from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head! I was able to take videos by putting my smartphone in a waterproof case. There was also a Japanese person on the same boat, so we took pictures of each other, saving the $40 photo fee.

I've visited Hawaii about five times, but this was my first parasailing experience. I recommend it for both first-timers and repeat visitors!

朝8:30集合のため、ホテル（モアナサーフライダー）を7:30に出発しました。カラカウア通りからフォート・デロシー・ボードウォークを通って行くと駐車場に出て、パラセーリングの看板が見えるので分かりやすいと思います。ゆっくり歩いて行けば40分程で着きました。
150mからの景色は絶景で、ワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドベッドまで一望できました！防水ケースにスマホを入れて動画も撮影できました。同じ船に日本人の方がいらっしゃったのでお互い写真を撮りあったので40ドルの撮影代を節約できました
ハワイは5回ほど訪れてますが、初めてのパラセーリングでした初めての方にもリピーターの方にもオススメです

The scenery was better and the height was great compared to when I did it in Okinawa. The instructor was also fun, which was nice.

沖縄でやった時より
景色も良く、高さもあって
最高でした。
インストラクターの方も
楽しい方で良かったです

easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

It flies higher than I imagined. Before departure, there was a light drizzle, but by the time we took off, the weather was clear. From above, you can see both Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, which is a spectacular view. The wind was strong, and the aircraft swayed side to side in the air, making me feel a bit nauseous along the way.

Of course, it's advisable for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication in advance, as there can be turbulence in the air as well.

While flying, there is also a photo service available upon request. They take over 80-100 photos, and for $40, you get the data download and a memory card. Due to an incident where another passenger on the boat got sick while we were flying, we only had 42 photos taken, so we bought them for half price at $20. You can check the photos before deciding to purchase, so I think it's a good idea to request them and buy if you're satisfied.

想像以上に高く飛びます。出発前は霧雨がぱらついていましたが出発時には晴天。上からはダイアモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも一望できて壮観です。風が強くて上空で左右に揺れるので途中で酔いそうになりました。
船はもちろんですが、上空での揺れにも備えて乗り物酔いに弱い方は事前の酔い止めの服薬をおすすめします。
飛んでいる間は頼めば写真撮影サービスもあります。80-100枚以上撮影してくれてデータダウンロードとメモリーカード付で$40です。
私たちは飛んでいる間に船上の別のお客さんが吐いちゃうというアクシデントのため42枚しか撮影してもらえなかったので半額の$20で売ってもらいました。購入を決断する前に写真の確認をさせてもらえるので一応頼んでおいて納得できたら購入するという形でもいいと思います。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy a hula show, so I participated. I don't have a strong interest in dance, so I chose a show that combines hula with rock to avoid getting bored.

I'm not very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they sang songs that everyone has heard of, so I had a great time. The fire dance was also impressive.

However, the air conditioning in the venue was too strong, and I regretted wearing light clothing. I ended up getting cold and had to go to the restroom halfway through. It's essential to prepare for the cold, especially for your feet.

せっかくハワイに来たのでしっかりフラのショーを鑑賞してみたいと思い参加。元々ダンスに興味があるわけでもないので、フラだけでは飽きてしまうかなとロック融合のショーを選びました。
エルビスもマイケルも詳しくはありませんが、誰もが耳にしたことのある曲を歌ってくれたので楽しめました。ファイヤーダンスも見応えありました。
ただ会場の冷房が効き過ぎていて、薄着で行ってしまったので後悔。冷えてしまって途中トイレに立ってしまいました。特に足元の冷房対策は必須です。

The dinner show at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki, which is within walking distance from nearby hotels, was fantastic. We enjoyed the food and drinks, had a great time, and took memorable photos.

近くのホテルからも歩いて行けるワイキキのロイヤルハワイセンター内でディナー付きのショーは、食べて飲んで楽しんで思い出の写真も撮れて最高でした

The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.

日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。

What disappointed me with this trip was the last minute change of pick up to another location due to an event but after careful observation, that said event does not affect the area where we were at because a lot of other tour companies are picking their guests in front of our hotel. Despite my plea, it wasn't attended to. The staff and Manager were stern not to accommodate a simple request.

The long-awaited parasailing was enjoyable, and the journey to the point was fun as well. I also felt that the airtime was longer than expected. However, while they took photos for us, the quality felt a bit rushed considering the high price for the photo service. Additionally, there was a strong push for tips, which was a bit off-putting.

念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。

We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。

At first, I felt scared, but the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. People of a certain age can try it safely. I recommend it.

はじめは怖く感じましたが、空の上から見るハワイの景色は最高でした。ある程度の年齢でも安心にトライできますよ。おすすめします。

We went quite far out on the boat and took off from it! The boat swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but from below, the height of 120 meters surprisingly felt high, and it was more terrifying than just feeling seasick. (laughs) Once in the air, I was healed by the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea. They took photos from the boat, which I purchased later for $40. It was over in no time, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ボートで結構沖まで進み船の上から飛び立ちました！波でボートは結構揺れましたが、120mの高さは下から見ていると案外高く、恐怖で船酔いどころではなかったです。笑
飛んでみると山と海の綺麗な景色に癒されました。船から写真を撮影してくださり、後から購入しました。(40ドル)あっという間でしたが、楽しい経験になりました。

We participated in our first snorkeling experience as a couple. The tour started at 12 PM with 9 participants and 2 instructors (Chieko and Dan). The weather was clear and sunny. We were able to swim for a full hour in deep water due to high tide. They also took photos underwater, which created great memories.

My wife was worried because she is not a strong swimmer, but Chieko held her hand while she got used to it and always made sure to check on her when they separated. Towards the end, when my wife wanted to return early due to fatigue, Chieko guided her back to the shore properly.

I actually started to feel seasick midway through, but for those who are not used to it or feel anxious, it seems advisable to take motion sickness medication as mentioned in the items to bring.

Our first snorkeling experience was very enjoyable and felt like a new world. Both instructors were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied with the tour. Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリングを夫婦で参加しました。
12時スタートのツアーで参加者は9人、インストラクターは2名（チエコさん、ダンさん）でした。天気は快晴。満潮で深いところまで行けて1時間たっぷり泳ぐことができました。水中では撮影もしていただけていい思い出が残りました。
妻は水泳が得意ではなく心配していましたが、慣れないうちはチエコさんがずっと手を取って泳いでくださり、離れる時にも必ず声をかけてくださいました。終盤に体力が持たず先に戻りたい旨を伝えると、また手を取って浜辺まできちんと誘導してくださいました。
実は私は中盤から波酔いをしてしまったのですが、慣れない方や不安な方は持ち物の中にも書いてあるように事前に酔い止め薬をのむと良さそうです。
初めてのシュノーケリングはとても楽しく新世界でした。インタストラクターのお二方もとても親切で、とても満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I took anti-nausea medication in advance, but I still got sick. However, the scenery was breathtaking, and I had a wonderful experience! During the parasailing, I felt no fear at all and was able to take pictures of the view with my iPhone.

酔いやすい体質なので酔い止め薬を事前に飲みましたが酔ってしまいました。
ですが、景色は絶景で貴重な体験が出来て楽しかったです！
パラセイリング中は怖さは一切なくiPhoneで景色も撮影する事ができました。

Four groups ride the same boat out to the ocean and take turns jumping in, but the waiting time is also filled with fun moments with people from various countries. Moreover, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean is breathtaking! The time spent flying went by in an instant, but the stable flight in the air and the playful spirit when coming down are full of enjoyment.

4組が同じボートに乗って沖まで行き順番に飛んでいくのですが、待っている時間も色々な国の方達と楽しい時間。更に沖から見渡すワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景！
飛んでいる時間はあっという間でしたが、上空では安定したフライトと降りてくる時の遊び心は楽しみ満載です。

After the COVID restrictions were lifted, I finally got to visit Hanauma Bay. However, since the days for entering Hanauma Bay are still limited, making a reservation individually can be quite challenging. Fortunately, there are tours that offer entry reservations for Hanauma Bay, along with transportation, which is reassuring. The guide was very kind, and there were no particular issues from preparation to snorkeling to cleanup. During snorkeling, they took us to the appropriate snorkeling points by observing the tides. While snorkeling, they kept an eye on us to ensure we didn't get separated, and they provided support when we fell behind our group. I believe this is a tour that even beginners can participate in with confidence.

コロナ規制があけて、やっとハナウマ湾にいけました。
でも、まだハナウマ湾に入れる曜日が限定されているため、個人で入場予約をするのはかなり大変です。
しかし、なかなかとれないハナウマ湾の入場予約もツアーが実施してくれて、かつ、送迎もしてくれるので安心です。
ガイドの方は、とても親切で、準備～シュノーケル～片付けまで特に困ることはありませんでした。
シュノーケルの際は、潮の満ち引きを見て、適切なシュノーケルポイントに連れて行ってくれます。
シュノーケルの最中は、はぐれないように、見ていてくれて、仲間から遅れた時には、サポートしてくれました。
シュノーケル初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだとと思います。

Overall, this was way more than we expected to experience at a Luau. First of all, the food was delicious and the spread was huge. The staff was incredibly friendly and it was a relaxed environment. I will say that it pays to do the VIP experience so that you don't have to pay out of pocket for a lei or for an additional drink (it was nice that it came with 2 premium drinks with the VIP option). The seating for VIP for the show was also excellent! The show wasn't just dancing, but an entire story through the years. The dancers and singers were so talented! The entire night was about a 4 - 4.5 hour long event and you really got the bang for your buck. I highly recommend this experience, especially if it's your first time going to a Luau!

Although it was disappointing that we didn't catch any fish, the captain was quick to assist when we had trouble handling the fishing gear. We moved to three different spots, and we only had about an hour and a half of fishing time. The captain cooked the fish caught by others on board and served it as fried fish for us to enjoy while returning to the harbor. There was a large shark swimming near the boat, and we were able to see it up close, along with the sight of sea turtles swimming. The scenery was fantastic, making it a great experience for cruising and sightseeing.

釣りは何も釣れずに残念でしたが、釣り具の扱いに困った時には船長さんがすぐフォローしてくれました。
3ヶ所ポイント移動して、釣りの時間は1時間半程度しかありませんでした。
他の方が釣れた魚を船長が船上で調理してフライドフィッシュとして釣り場から帰港するまでの間に食べさせてくれました。
船の近くで大きな鮫がウロウロしており、間近に見れて、海亀の泳ぐ姿が見られたり、景色も最高でクルージングや観光としては十分楽しめました。

Kualoa Ranch is clearly the best choice for outdoor adventures in Oahu. So much fun from start to finish! The farm, jungle, and movie locations tours were spectacular. Mahalo

Mr. Dan and Ms. Chieko were very kind and attentive, making it easy to participate with peace of mind. I was able to see many different types of fish in the beautiful sea, which was very soothing.

ダンさん、チエコさんのお二人がとても親切丁寧で安心して参加することができました。美しい海でたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ癒やされました。

We were blessed with very nice weather and felt the impressive submarine and pleasant sea breeze as we moved towards the submarine. Everything was wonderful! It was the best dream-like experience! Both my mother and child were very satisfied, and after getting off, they were excited, saying, "We saw sea turtles! There were so many fish!"

It was a unique world, different from regular snorkeling, almost like a movie. The explanations were in English, delivered by a lively and entertaining host, while my mother and child enjoyed the commentary in Japanese that they had downloaded in advance.

This is a tour that I definitely recommend trying at least once!

とても良い気候に恵まれ、迫力のある潜水艦と気持ちの良いシーブリーズを感じながら潜水艦へと移動する船。
すべてが気持ちよかったです！最高の夢のような体験でした！
母も子供も大満足で、降りた後も海亀に会えたね！お魚さんたち沢山いたね！と興奮していました(^^)
貴重なシュノーケリングとはまた違う映画のような世界でした。
説明は英語でお姉さんの迫力あり、笑いありの楽しいホストと、母と子供は事前にダウンロードしておいた日本語音声で解説を楽しんでいました。
ぜひ一度は乗ってみてほしい、体験してほしいツアーでした！

The team was super patient from the start. They gave us a check in call since we got a bit lost after parking. If you see lifeguard stand 1E, head left out towards the water, not down the beach. The instructor was really engaged and patient, tailoring the lesson to our comfort level.

On Friday, April 14th, I participated with a friend in the morning. My friend cannot swim, but we held hands and swam together in the sea, and we were able to see beautiful fish, which made us very happy. I understood well that the sea has become cleaner over the past few years and that everyone is actively involved in marine conservation efforts. I definitely want to participate again.

4月14日（金）午前中　友人と二人で参加しました。
友達は水泳が出来ないのですが、手をつないで海の中を一緒に泳いでくれて綺麗な魚を見る事ができて大喜びでした。
数年前より海が綺麗になり、皆さんで海の保護活動をしているのが良く理解できました。　　是非また参加したいです。

This was an excellent start to a seven-day island excursion. Enjoyed every aspect of the journey including the boat ride to and from. The submarine crew did an excellent job of insuring that viewers on both sides of the vessel got to see the same sights. Fish of all size, turtles, and even eels all clearly visible coupled with insightful commentary from a comedic crew member.

This was the highlight of our holiday. The crew were great and gave clear instructions. Would definitely recommend booking this ride and we would love to do it again. So much fun!!!

I was scheduled to be picked up in front of DFS at 9:25 AM (the van arrived more than 10 minutes late). After that, we went around several hotels in the Waikiki area, including the Marriott, and for some reason, at 10:25 AM, I was taken to a travel agency office just a minute's walk from DFS, where I was shown souvenirs.

I felt there was absolutely no need to stop by the office, and if they really wanted to make a stop there, it would have been better to gather everyone at the office at 10:25 AM instead. If they are considering Japanese tourists as well, I think they should improve the logistics in that regard.

Visiting Manoa Falls and Tantalus was worthwhile, and the pastrami for lunch was delicious. However, since I wasted an hour in the morning, it left a very negative impression of the tour.

9時25分にDFS前でピック予定(10分以上遅れてバンが到着)、その後ワイキキ中心部のマリオット等いくつかホテルを周り、なぜか10時25分にはDFSから徒歩1分の旅行会社オフィスなるところに連れて行かれてお土産を見させられました。
オフィスに寄る必要を全く感じなかったですし、どうしてもオフィスに寄らせたいのであれば、そこに10時25分集合でよかったのではないでしょうか。
日本人も対象に考えられているのであれば、その辺りのロジはきちんとした方がいいと思います。

マノアの滝とタンタラスの丘自体は行って良かったです、ランチのパストラミも美味しかったです。
しかし朝から1時間無駄にされたので、幸先悪く非常に印象の悪いツアーとなってしまいました。
