All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I was able to see a lot of fish, and it became my favorite memory from my trip to Hawaii! I’m not good at swimming, and it was my husband’s first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko's careful support while I was swimming, I was able to swim with peace of mind. I didn’t have an underwater camera, but Dan took many photos and kindly provided them through Facebook, which was a great help. Chieko and Dan were very cheerful, and the atmosphere during the tour was always pleasant and fun. Thank you so much!

たくさんのお魚が見れて、ハワイ旅行で1番楽しい思い出になりました！
私は泳ぐのが苦手で、夫はシュノーケリング初めてだったのですが、ちえこさんが泳いでいる間もずっと丁寧にサポートしてくださったおかげで、安心して泳ぎ切ることができました。
水中カメラを持っていなかったのですが、代わりにダンさんがたくさんの写真を撮ってFacebook通じて提供してくださるので大変助かります。
ちえこさんとダンさんがとても明るく、ツアー中ずっと和やかな雰囲気で楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。　

I was able to stand on the board properly! I took a semi-private lesson, so I was really tired, but I had a great time!

ちゃんとボードに立てました(^^)
セミプライベートレッスンを受講したので、めちゃくちゃ疲れたけど(笑)、存分に楽しませてもらいました！

The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it the perfect day for parasailing. However, both the boat and the parasailing were rockier than expected, and there were a few people on the boat who got sick. I also felt a bit seasick, but I managed to hold on. The view from the sky was absolutely amazing.

天気も良く波も穏やかで最高のパラセーリング日和でした。
しかし、予想以上に船もそしてパラセーリングも揺れて、船上で吐く人がチラホラいました。
私も船酔いしたのですが、なんとか持ち堪えました。
空からの眺めは申し分なく最高でした。

That day was clear from the morning, perfect for parasailing, and I was itching to go as soon as I woke up.

On the boat that towed the parachute, there were 11 participants, including us, but for some reason, my husband and I were chosen first. Maybe our excitement was showing on our faces.

Once we boarded the parachute and it was released, we soared into the sky in an instant! The speed was incredible, and it took me by surprise for a moment, but I hardly felt scared.

As we reached a certain height, it became so stable that it felt like sitting in a chair, and from there, it was a graceful aerial stroll.

The panoramic view of Diamond Head and the hotels of Waikiki far below was truly breathtaking.

Although parasailing is considered a marine sport, in reality, you just sit there, so I think it can be enjoyed easily by children and the elderly alike. It's not as scary as you might think!

This is definitely an activity that I want many people to experience when they come to Hawaii!

その日は朝から快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和で、起きたときから早くパラセイリングをしたくてウズウズしてました。

その日のパラシュートをけん引するボートには、私たちを含む11名の参加者がいたのですが、なぜか私たち夫婦が1番手に指名。
よほどウズウズが顔に出ていたのかもしれませんね。

さて私たちが乗り込んだパラシュートが解き放たれると、あっという間に大空に向けてブワーっと浮上！
ものすごい勢いなので一瞬ドキッとはしましたが、ほとんど怖さは感じませんでした。

そしてある程度の高さまで行くとまるでイスに座っているかのように安定するので、そこからはもう優雅な空中散歩です。

ダイヤモンドヘッドもワイキキのホテル群も遠く眼下に見える大パノラマは、もう圧巻の一言でした。

パラセイリングはマリンスポーツとは言っても、実際はただ座っているだけなので、お子さんでもご年配の方でも気軽に楽しめると思います。
思っているより怖くないです！

ハワイに来たら多くの方に絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティです！

It was truly a walk in the sky! Floating in the air while gazing at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was a calm and very elegant experience! Since I was with a group of foreigners, the driver and the boat instructor spoke only English, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. It's not an intense activity, so I think families with small children can enjoy it with peace of mind!

まさに空中散歩！
ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらの空中浮遊は穏やかで、とても優雅な時間を過ごすことが出来ました！外国人グループと一緒だったので、送迎のドライバーさんや、ボートのインストラクターなど、それぞれ英語だけでしたが、時おり日本語も交えて話してくださり、とても楽しかったです。
激しいアクティビティではないので、小さなお子さま連れでも安心して楽しめると思います！

We chose a VIP seat with meals for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the venue, we enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks, which was a lot of fun! The meal included a large lobster, meat dishes, fish dishes, bread, and dessert, leaving us completely satisfied! I didn't know how to eat the lobster, but the staff kindly taught me!

Once the show started, there were so many captivating moments, especially Michael and the fire show, which were impressive! At the end, we even got to take photos, making it the best trip to Hawaii ever!!

新婚旅行ということで、食事付きのVIP席にしました！会場に着いたらウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらおつまみも頂けて楽しめました！食事は大きなロブスター、お肉料理にお魚料理、パンとデザートがあり、お腹いっぱいで満足です！ロブスターは食べ方が分からなかったのですが、スタッフの方が親切に教えてくれました！笑笑
ショーが始まったら目の離せない場面ばかりで、特にマイケルとファイヤーショーが印象的です！ラストは写真まで撮って頂き、最高のハワイ旅行になりました！！

Before the show, we had a meal at the buffet. There was pork, beef, chicken, and white fish. I thought it was quite tasty.
The show was enjoyable with impersonators and fire dancing. It was really great that it ended with the Hawaii Five-O theme song!

ショーを観る前にブッフェ での食事をしました。豚も牛もチキンも白身魚もありました。普通に美味しいと思います。
ショーは、そっくりさんが出てきたり、ファイアーダンスがあったりと楽しめました。最後、ハワイファイブオーの曲で終演したのがとてもよかったです！

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but the view was beautiful and it was amazing! Although the language is English, the staff could speak a little Japanese, so there were no issues!

初めてのパラセーリングで緊張しましたが、景色も綺麗で最高でした！
言語が英語とありますが、スタッフの方たちは少し日本語が話せるので問題ありませんでした！

Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!

I splurged on VIP seats for Michael, which I was really looking forward to! First, we enjoyed the meal, and then the opening! I was focused on the front, so I was surprised! We had a fantastic time with Presley, a local singer, and of course, Michael, along with hula and fire dancing.

The portion sizes were just right, and the staff was efficient. I think the show is well-adjusted for various age groups, so it would be great for families to experience together. After the show, they are friendly and willing to take photos with you.

マイケルを楽しみに奮発してVIP席を取りました！
まず、食事を堪能してから、オープニング！前方を注視していたので、ビックリしました！プレスリーと地元の歌手の方、楽しみにしていたマイケル、フラ、ファイアーダンスとてんこ盛りで楽しめました。
食事の量も丁度よく、スタッフもテキパキ。ショーの内容は、いろんな年代に広くアジャストするものだと思うので、ファミリーで体験するのも良いのではないかと思います。ショーの後も、気さくに写真撮影に応じてくれます。

My son saw it on TV and said he wanted to try parasailing! There are various operators in Hawaii, but we decided on one that had no unnecessary options, reasonable prices, and a short duration, which were appealing to us. We booked a 150m session starting at 9 AM. We had a simple breakfast in our hotel room (spam onigiri and drinks), used the restroom, and waited for the pickup in the hotel lobby. Based on reviews mentioning seasickness on the boat, both my son and I took motion sickness medication on the bus. My son has never experienced motion sickness, but just in case. After giving birth, I have become a bit prone to nausea on rides like roller coasters.

The boat departs from the marina near the Prince, past the Hilton. There were five groups together. Once the boat went offshore, the parasailing opened up with a whoosh! The rainbow-colored parachute stood out beautifully against the sky, and it was so cute. Our excitement skyrocketed. After putting on life jackets and equipment, we took off in order. We were the second group. We quickly ascended to 150m, and the view was unlike anything we had ever seen! We could see the mountains of Hawaii, the outline of the island, and our parachute's shadow on the ocean, which felt absolutely wonderful. Initially, I was worried about the fear of heights, but it was so high (laughs) that I wasn't scared at all. Up there, it was stable with no swaying or wind. Both my son and I kept exclaiming how great it felt! The scenery was amazing! After about 10 minutes, the descent began, but I wasn't scared at all during this time either. The moment we landed, my son kept saying he wanted to do it again! He was laughed at by the others who were with us. The total time, including the round trip, was about an hour and a half. It was on time as stated on the website, and we were able to use the rest of the morning meaningfully after returning to the hotel. The crew was attentive, making sure everyone didn’t get seasick with high-fives, encouragement, pranks, and jokes. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely repeat this. For families with children, I recommend the early morning sessions when they aren't too tired.

Lastly, a realistic note. One person in our group was nervous from the start, worried about getting seasick, and actually ended up vomiting on the boat. They mentioned they had taken motion sickness medication as well. Since there are many other fun things to do in Hawaii, I don't think those who are prone to motion sickness in their daily lives should force themselves to do this. Since it's a trip, you don't have to be fixated on parasailing. However, if you have experience getting nauseous on extraordinary rides like roller coasters, you don't need to be too nervous. You get to see the best views, and it's a unique experience of traveling, so it's better to relax and just enjoy it!

　息子がテレビで見て、パラセーリングをやってみたい！と言い出しました。ハワイでは色々な業者さんがいますが、不要なオプションがなくて値段が手頃、所用時間が短い、この2点が私たちには魅力的だったので決定。9時から、150mを申し込みました。当日の朝食はホテルの部屋で簡単に済ませ(スパムおにぎりと飲み物)、トイレも済ませ、ホテルのロビーでピックアップを待ちました。口コミで、ボートで酔うと書いあったのを参考に、酔い止めはバスの中で、息子も私も飲みました。息子は乗り物で酔った経験なしですが、念のため。私は出産後、ジェットコースターなどでは少し酔うようになったので。
　ボートは、ヒルトンの先、プリンス近くのマリーナから出ます。5組が一緒。ボートが沖合に出ると、パラセーリングがバサっ！と、開かれます。レインボーカラーのパラシュートが空に映え、すごく可愛い。テンションがいっきに上がります。ライフジャケットと器具をつけたら、順に、すぐに飛びます。私たちは2組目。150m まであっという間に上がり、見たことのない景色が！　ハワイの山々が見えて、島のラインが分かり、海に私たちのパラシュートの影がうつり、とてもとても気持ちがいいです。当初、高さへの恐怖を心配しましたが、高すぎて（笑）、まったく怖くなかったです。上空はゆれもなく、風もなく、安定してました。私も息子も、気持ちいいー！を連発。景色が最高でした！　10分ぐらい経つと下降が始まりますが、この間もまったく怖くなかったです。降りた瞬間、息子は、またやりたい！すぐやりたい！と言いまくり。一緒に乗っていた方に爆笑されてました。所用時間、往復もふくめ、総所要時間は1時間半程度。HPに書いてあったとおりのオンタイムで、ホテルに戻ってからも午前中の残りを有意義に使えました。乗組員のスタッフの方も、みんなが酔わないように、ハイタッチや声がけ、いたずらやジョークなど、ずっと、気にして声をかけてくださいます。息子も私も大満喫。私たちは必ずまたリピートします。お子さん連れは、疲れが溜まってない、朝早い回をオススメします。
　最後に現実的な話。一緒のグループにいらした方は、最初から、酔いやすいから心配……とナーバスで、実際にボートで酔って吐いていました。酔い止めも飲んでいたとのこと。他に楽しいことが沢山あるハワイなので、バスや電車など、日頃の生活でも酔いやすい方は無理してやることはないと思います。せっかの旅行なのでパラセーリングにこだわらなくてもです。ただ、私みたいにジェットコースターとか、非日常的な乗り物で酔った経験のある方ならば、そこまでナーバスにならなくても。最高の景色が見れて、旅行ならではの経験だから、あまり構えず、とにかく楽しんだ方がいいです。

If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride it! You can see it from offshore at Waikiki Beach, and I enjoy riding the waves. Please take care of me next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイに行ったら、必ず乗ります！
ワイキキビーチの沖から見れるし、波に乗って楽しみます。次回ハワイに行った時も、宜しくお願いします。

I attended a relative's wedding in Hawaii... aloha

The day before, we had a family dinner and went to see the Rock-a-Hula show, which I had really wanted to see when coming to Hawaii. ☝️

It was the best show where I could enjoy it together with the cast, just as I expected. The staff were friendly, which added to the fun.

Next time, I will go to see it with my friends.

親戚の結婚式がありハワイへ………aloha

前日、会食を兼ね親戚皆で
ハワイに来たら是非観たかった
ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。☝️

期待通りにキャストと一緒に楽しめる最高のショーでした。
スタッフの方も気さくで愉しさが増しました。

次はお友達と一緒に観にいきます。

I attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.

I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.

2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。

新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。

from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun

From the pick-up to the parasailing, everything was enjoyable without any issues! I felt reassured when they spoke a little Japanese. I chose the 150m parasailing, and it went really high, offering a fantastic view. We went in the morning and finished by noon, so I think we made good use of our day.

送迎からパラセイリングまで、問題なく楽しめました！
日本語も少し話してもらって安心できました。
パラセイリングは150mにしましたが、すごく高くまで上がり、景色が一望できました。
朝から行って午前中には終わったので、1日の時間が有効活用できると思います。

We had a great experience with the shuttle to Hanauma Bay. The driver was very polite and helpful. The van was comfortable and the timing was perfect. The company representative I talked to on the phone was very helpful and gave me excellent advice on where to park our car while we were on the excursion. I would highly recommend this experience. Well worth the price!

This was the activity I was looking forward to the most before my trip, and it turned out to be the most fun! I really recommend it!

On the day of the activity, my morning schedule ran late, and I nervously called to see if I could change the time. They kindly responded in Japanese to accommodate my limited English, and my time was successfully changed. The gentleman who came to pick us up was very cheerful! Since there were only two groups, including us, I think the waiting time on the boat was short!

Then it was our turn to go up into the air! We chose 150 meters, and I'm glad we did! Looking down was scary, but when I looked up, a wonderful view spread out before me, and it really boosted my spirits! It lasted about five minutes, but I wanted to do it more!

This is definitely an activity I want to do again when I go back to Hawaii!

旅行前から１番楽しみにしていたアクティビティで、結果１番楽しかったです(^^)！！本当におススメです☆
当日午前の予定が押してしまい、時間変更の希望が出来るか恐る恐る電話をかけると、英語が不慣れなこちらに合わせて日本語で対応してくださり、時間もちゃんと変更されていました。お迎えに来てくれるおじさんはとても愉快な方です♪今回行った時間では、私達を含め2組だけでしたので、船上での待機時間は短かったと思います！
そして私達の順番がきていざ空中へ！１５０mにしましたが、これにしてよかった！下を見ると怖いですが、顔を上げると素晴らしい景色が広がっていて、本当にテンションがあがります！！！５分程でしたがもっとやりたかったー(>_<)
またハワイに行ったら絶対やりたいアクティビティです！

Coral has settled on the sunken aircraft and ship right in front of me, and colorful fish are swarming around, allowing me to truly enjoy the natural food chain.

目の前に沈んだ航空機や船に珊瑚が住み付き、色とりどりの魚が群れていて自然の食物連鎖がリアルに楽しめました。

I’m really glad I did it! I went for 120m, but I slightly regret not going for 150m. The driver, Yano, was very friendly and funny, and he wrote down some great restaurant recommendations and took me back to the hotel multiple times. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did. It turned out to be a fun honeymoon!

とっても気持ちよくやってよかったです！120mにしたのですが、150mにしたらよかったなと少し後悔です。ドライバーのヤノさん？とても気さくで面白くて、美味しいお店を書き出してくれたり何度もホテルまで送っていただいたり、終始よくしていただき感謝しかないです。楽しい新婚旅行になりました！

A vast land that served as the filming location for various movies like Jurassic Park. I realized my dream of visiting here someday. It includes three types of experiences and meals, allowing us to enjoy nature in three different vehicles. I think it's a tour that you can't find in Japan.

Along the way, the guide spoke and played music that made us feel like we were in the world of Jurassic Park, and everyone on the ride got excited and cheered loudly. I'm glad I experienced it. Next, I want to try horseback riding too!

ジェラシックパークなどなどの様々な映画のロケ地となった広大な土地。いつか行ってみたいと思っていた事が実現しました。3種類の体験と食事付き、3種類の車での自然を体験してみて
日本には無いツアーだと思います。
途中、同行したガイドの方がまさにジェラシックパークの映画の世界に居るような曲と喋り方で、乗ってるみんなで興奮して大声で歓声を上げました。体験して良かったです。次は乗馬も体験したいです！

Whenever I go to Hawaii, I usually spend my time at the beach and shopping, so this time I wanted to try something more active and joined a tour. However, the waiting time between each tour was boring, especially with kids. There wasn't really anywhere to pass the time...

I think the tour content would be enjoyable for movie fans (those who know a lot about it). I only knew a little (and just some parts), so I started to find the tour tiring and wanted to go home by lunchtime, haha. The bumpy ride on the jungle tour was more intense than I imagined; it felt like a serious version of Star Tours at Tokyo Disneyland, haha. I was so busy trying to keep the kids in check that I couldn't really enjoy the scenery. But since I had wanted to go at least once, I’m glad I got to understand the content.

Since the time commitment is long, I think for those who are just a little interested, it would be sufficient to just stop by with a rental car. The ocean view from Kualoa Ranch was really beautiful and different from Waikiki Beach. I heard you can see whales in the winter, so I’d like to come back during that time. Sorry for digressing!

いつもハワイに行くとビーチ・お買い物だったので今回はアクティブにすごしてみたいと思い参加しました。
一つ一つのツアーの間の待ち時間が子供もいたので退屈でした。
時間潰せるようなところも特になかったので・・・。

ツアーの内容は、映画ファン（詳しい方）は楽しいんだと思います。
私は、少し知ってる（しかも一部）程度なので
途中からツアーがしんどくなりお昼時点で既に帰りたかったです　笑
ジャングルツアーの車の揺れが想像以上で東京ディズニーランドの
スターツアーズの本気揺れてるバージョンでした　笑
子供を抑えておくのに必死でそんなに景色も楽しめずでした。
でも一度行ってみたかったので内容がわかったよかったです。
拘束時間が長いので、少し見たいって方は、レンタカーで少し寄る程度で
充分かと思います。クアロア牧場から見える海はワイキキビーチとは違って
すごく綺麗でしたよ。くじらが冬に見えるそうなのでその時期にまた来たいです、話逸れましたが。

We had the time of our life. The crew were hilarious and made us laughed so hard. I would do it again 100 times! It was a huge adrenaline rush up at 1000 feet!

Dan arrived early for pick up at our hotel entrance. =) My wife and I have very little to no snorkeling experience, and our swimming experience is very limited. However, Dan and Cheiko made our adventure possible, great for beginners. Dan simplified the instructions to make it easy, fun, and safe for all. Cheiko was excellent in ensuring safety for me as I needed a bit more help/guidance. Saw lots of fishes and would do this all over again.

It was great.
The jungle tour was especially good.
It had a cool feeling.
I want you to experience it.
If you go after watching the movie,
the enjoyment doubles.

良かったなー。
ジャングルツアーが
特に良い。
ひんやりとした感じ。
体験してほしい。
映画を見てから行くと
良さが倍増。

I experienced snorkeling for the first time this time. Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles, I saw many fish, and it was a great experience.

今回初めてシュノーケリングを体験しました。
海ガメには逢えませんでしたが、沢山の魚を見れてとてもいい経験になりました。

I can't speak highly enough of Dan, he is so kind and patient! He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable in the water with the equipment before starting the tour. He was constantly checking to make sure that everyone was still doing well and took us to some spots further out that a lot of people that were snorkeling on their own weren't going to. I think we got to see a lot more than we would have if we just did it on our own so I highly recommend this tour! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and even a sea turtle! Dan was taking pictures with his GoPro and let us know that he posts them all online on his company's Facebook page and that way you are able to just keep what you want to. Him and his wife were both so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do!

I did the Green Room package which was neat being able to go back stage to see how things work behind the scenes along with being able to sit right in front of the stage to eat and watch the show which gave you a great view being so close to the performers. I like how they always include a local artist to perform too, so you are able to see not only Michael Jackson and Elvis but someone local as well. It's also nice that everything is indoors so you don't have to worry about the weather ruining your plans.

I had wanted to try parasailing for many years, so I signed up. I remembered that I have a fear of heights and was hesitant to cancel, but this time I decided to muster up the courage and go for it.

On the day of the activity, there were eight customers on the boat, including myself. As we headed out to sea, the staff spread out the parachute, and it opened with incredible force due to the wind. The thought of being launched with such speed made my face tense with fear. I considered switching to just watching, but when I saw the first pair of people floating gracefully in the air, I decided to go for it.

When it was our turn to fly, I felt no fear at all and was able to take in the scenery slowly. I even had the chance to chat with my husband, who was flying with me. The view of the ocean and the town of Hawaii from above was absolutely beautiful. It was so bright that I was glad I had sunglasses. We were in the air for just under five minutes, and I felt like I wanted to fly for a longer time. After that, we descended and were dipped into the sea up to our waists before returning to the boat to finish. I had signed up for a height of 90 meters, but there was no confirmation on the day.

While I didn't feel fear in the air, the boat was moving quite fast, possibly to keep the parachute afloat, which was a bit scary. I was clinging on tightly. My husband, who usually doesn't get motion sickness, said he felt a bit queasy, so I think it would be wise to take motion sickness medication beforehand for peace of mind.

長年パラセイリングをやっていたいと思っていたので申し込みました。自分が高所恐怖症だということを思い出し、キャンセルするか迷いましたが、今回は勇気を出してやってみることに。
当日、私も含めボートには8人のお客さんが乗っていました。沖まで出て、スタッフがパラシュートを広げると、風に煽られすごい勢いで開きました。私もあんな勢いで飛ばされるんだと思うと、恐怖で顔が引きつりました。見学に切り替えようと思いましたが、一組目(2人一緒に飛ぶ、スタイルでした)の人たちがフワフワと飛んでいったのを見て、飛ぶことにしました。
私たちの番がきて、飛んでみると全く恐怖を感じず、景色をゆっくり見ることが出来ました。一緒に飛んだ夫と話す余裕すらありました。
空の上から見る海とハワイの町並みはとてもきれいでした。眩しかったので、サングラスがあって良かったです。空にいたのは5分たらずで、もっと長い時間飛んでいたかったと感じるほど。その後降下して、腰くらいまで海につけられて、ボートに戻って終わりです。高さは90mで申し込みましたが、当日確認はありませんでした。
空では恐怖を感じませんでしたが、パラシュートを浮かせるためか、ボートのスピードが速く、少し怖かったです。必死でしがみついていました。普段乗り物酔いをしない夫が酔った、と言っていたので、酔い止めをのんでおいたほうが安心だと思います。

The weather was nice, and walking in the great outdoors was very pleasant and enjoyable. The main trekking course was under construction, so we took a different route, but it was fun to have the guide explain many plants to us.

お天気も良く大自然の中を歩いてとても気持ちよく楽しかったです。メインのトレッキングコースは、工事中で、違うルートだったのですが、たくさんの植物をガイドさんに説明してもらい楽しかったです。
