All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

The Driver was at our hotel on time, he was courteous and professional. Friendly as well. He gave good directions and made sure our snorkel gear was in good working order. He was early for our pick up and got us safely back to our hotel. The bay is amazing and it was by far the best place I have snorkeled and that is why I returned with my family.

I participated alone. There were eight participants in total, including myself, with four men and four women.
We had a pleasant video training session before heading to the beach. The beach was visible as we left the hotel. It took about ten minutes to walk there, and three coaches were already waiting for us, conducting a relaxed lesson on the sandy beach (practicing paddling and standing).
The boards were long and a bit heavy. We paired up to carry them to the sea and moved out into the waves.
On this day, the waves were about three meters high.
As a 67-year-old beginner, it required quite a bit of physical strength.
In the end, I was able to stand for about five seconds. Lacking stamina and with the high waves, I got tired after three attempts and returned to shore alone.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience in Hawaii. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I thoroughly enjoyed a Hawaii like no other.

一人参加しました。参加者は私を含めて８名でした。男女４名づつでした。
レッスンの前のビデオ研修を和やかに受けイザビーチへ。
ビーチはホテルを出て見えてます。歩いて１０分ほどで到着、すでにコーチ３人が待ち構えており、和やかに砂浜でレッスン（パドリングや立ち方練習）
ボードはロングで少し重たいです。２名ペアで海まで運び、沖へ進む。
この日は波が３メートルほどありました。
当方、６７歳の初心者には、かなりの体力を要しました。
結果、立つこともできましたが、５秒程です。
体力無く、波高く、３回で疲れて岸に単独で戻りました。
いいハワイ経験させていただきありがとうございました。
ハワイ旅行は５度目ですが、今までにないハワイを満喫いたしました。

I experienced this with my fifth-grade son. At first, he was really scared, but once we got up there, he saw a view he had never experienced before and had a great time! I'm really glad we participated in this tour!

小学5年生の息子と体験しました。
初めは、物凄く怖がっていましたが、いざ上に上がってみると今まで経験した事がない景色が見れて、凄く楽しんでました！
このツアーに参加して凄く良かったと思います！

We participated as a family. I was nervous, but my child said it was the most fun they had during the trip, so I'm glad we took part!

家族で参加しました
緊張していましたが子供も旅行の中で1番楽しかったそうで参加してよかったなと思いました！

I participated with five friends! One of my friends was trying parasailing for the first time and was really nervous before doing it, but afterwards, they looked very satisfied and it was great that we joined.

友人たちと5人で参加しました!
友人の中には初めてのパラセイリングの子もいてやるまでとてもどきどきしていましたが終わった後はとても満足そうで参加してよかったです

The weather was nice, and the second graders were able to take a walk on the water's surface for about an hour! They saw a lot of fish, and when they grow a little bigger, next time it will be scuba diving!

天気も良く、二年生も1時間ほど水面散歩できました！魚もたくさん見れて、もう少し大きくなったら、今度はスキューバですね！

I got seasick while transferring from the boat to the submarine. If you're prone to motion sickness, be sure to prepare some medication. It can ruin a wonderful experience.

船から潜水艦への乗り換えで、私は酔いました。必ず乗り物に弱い人は酔い止めを準備して下さい。せっかくの体験が台無しです。

On the day, I was told that the waves were high and that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be difficult, so I switched to surfing. There were seven students, and my friend and I ended up with Mr. M, who hardly speaks any Japanese. This Mr. M was the worst! He had no smile from the beginning and looked scary. I was nervous as a beginner...

Even when we were in the water, he never came over to the students. Even when he told us to come over, we couldn't move towards him... It was not fun at all. He assumed we didn't understand English and kept complaining, saying things like, "I'm just doing this for work," and "You can't even swim."

If you get this teacher, it's the worst. He should be let go! What should have been a fun memory turned into a terrible one that I don't want to remember. The woman at the counter (a Japanese person) also said that this teacher has a bad reputation. I can't understand why he is still employed. I want my money back. Of course, there are things that need to be said for safety, but that attitude is unacceptable!

当日、波が高いとのことでＳＵＰ難しいと言われサーフィンに。生徒が７人いたため、私と友人は日本語のほとんどできないＭ先生となった。このＭ先生が最悪です！最初から笑顔なし、怖い顔のまま。初心者で緊張しているのに・・・
海で出ても、先生から生徒に寄ってくることなし。こっちにこいと言われてもなかなか先生のところまですすむこともできず・・・
全く楽しくない。そして、こちらが英語がわからないと思って、「俺は仕事だからやってんだ」とか、「泳げないくせに」とか、文句ばかり。
この先生にあたったら、最悪です。やめさせるべき！
楽しいはずの思い出が思い出したくない最悪の思い出になりました。
カウンターの女性（日本人）もこの先生は評判が悪いと言っていました。なぜ、雇っているのか理解に苦しみます。
お金を返してもらいたい。もちろん、危険もあるでしょうから、言わなければいけないこともあるでしょうが、あの態度はない！

The cheerful instructor was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, so I was able to ride relatively smoothly. I recommend it for those who are trying surfing for the first time.

陽気なインストラクターさんがとても楽しかったです。丁寧に教えてくれたので割とスムーズに乗れるようになりました。サーフィン初めてという方にはオススメです。

We had a great time. My wife was a bit nervous since it had been a while since she went into the ocean, but she was always taken care of during snorkeling. She even said, "I want to go snorkeling again! I wanted to do more!" Thank you for such a wonderful time! 😊

楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。奥さんは、海に入るのも久しぶりで緊張していましたが、シュノーケリング中いつも気にかけて下さり、奥さんは「またシュノーケリング行きたい！もっとやりたかった！」と言ってくれるまでに。
本当に楽しい時間をありがとうございました(^^

This was my third consecutive year participating, and the exhilarating feeling of riding the waves was as amazing as ever! It's one of the must-do activities in Hawaii, so I'll definitely be back next year!

今年で３年連続の参加でしたが、相変わらず波に乗る爽快感は最高でした！ハワイで外せないアクティビティーのひとつなので、また来年も来ま～す！！

This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first time surfing. I had a bit of anxiety, but the instructors were very friendly, and the lessons were enjoyable from start to finish! I'm not particularly good at sports, but I was able to stand up on the board!! The way they taught was also very good. When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to surf here again!

初めてのハワイで、しかもサーフィンも初めて。不安も少しありましたが、教えてくださった方々がとてもフレンドリーで終始楽しいレッスンでした！運動は、どちらかといえば苦手だったのですが、立てました！！教え方がとても上手なところもよかったです♩またハワイに行った際は、是非またここでサーフィンをしたいと思います！

Paddling is such an amazing Hawaiian tradition; these guys made it a blast. My family hasn't paddled before and it had been 20 years for me. They took us out in Waikiki and we caught some swells and rode the waves in. The photographers associated with canoeing took great shots and captured everyone smiling. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone traveling to Oahu.

On windy days, those who are prone to seasickness may want to take motion sickness medication, as it could be helpful. It's close to Waikiki, so I recommend it for those who are short on time.

風が強い日は、船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めを飲んで、望むとよいかも。ワイキキから近いので時間の無い人にもオススメです。

I had a great time with the guidance in Japanese. I think it would be really fun to participate if you watch movies often. The staff were all cheerful and entertaining. Next time, I want to try horseback riding.

日本語で案内してくれてとても楽しめました。映画をよく見て参加するととても楽しいと思います。
スタッフはみなさん明るくおもしろかったです。今度は乗馬したいです。

It was very expensive, but since it was over the sea, I wasn't scared. The view of Waikiki was very beautiful. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. In the end, you get dropped into the sea, but I had fun.

とても高かったけど、下は海なので怖くなかったです。ワイキキの景色がとてもきれいでした。かなりボートが揺れて船酔いしやすいので酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。
最後に海にドボンされますが、楽しめました。

I referred to the experiences beforehand. Following the advice, I gave motion sickness medication to my children who are prone to getting seasick before boarding, but only my eldest daughter ended up feeling seasick among the three kids. The boarding position might also be a factor. It may be better for those who are prone to seasickness to board towards the back of the boat.

The parasailing experience itself was wonderful. I let my 5-year-old try it at 150 meters. Thanks to the cheerful and friendly staff, we had a great time.

体験談を事前に参照しました。
ｱﾄﾞﾊﾞｲｽ通り、乗り物酔いしやすい子供たちに酔い止めを内服させて乗船させましたが、3人の子供のうち長女のみが船酔いしてしまいました。乗船位置も関係しているかもしれません。船酔いしやすい人はなるべく後部の方に乗船した方がよいかもしれません。
ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞ自体は素晴らしい体験でした。
5歳児も150mで体験させました。陽気でﾌﾚﾝﾄﾞﾘｰな添乗員のおかげでとても楽しめました。

I signed up for a 90m experience with my wife and our two elementary school children. The whole family was super excited about this extraordinary experience! We had a great time.
There was a middle school boy and a woman from another couple on the same boat who got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication beforehand.

小学生2人と妻と私の4人で90mに申し込みました。非日常の体験に家族みんな大興奮！すっごく楽しめました。
同じボートに中学生の男の子と、別のカップルの女性が船酔いで死んでましたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止め薬を先に飲んでおいた方がいいです。

I was a little disappointed that we didn't land in the water for some reason, but my first parasailing experience was very enjoyable. I recommend going for 150 meters! I usually get motion sickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medicine, I was totally fine with the boat's rocking!

なぜか着水してくれなかったのが少しだけ残念でしたが、初めてのパラセイリング体験はとても楽しかったです。150mがオススメです！普段乗り物酔いする私ですが、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげか、船の揺れは全然平気でした！

I was very satisfied with the thorough guide from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. Compared to other tours, the content was rich and a bit challenging, but I think the level of satisfaction was completely different. Additionally, I was impressed by the flexibility in adjusting the content to match the participants, and I was touched by the personalities of Chieko and Dan! I also appreciated that they provided photos for free on Facebook.

ハナウマ湾を端から端まで丁寧にガイドいただき大満足でした。
他のツアーに比べて、内容が充実していて、少しハードですが、満足度が全く違うと思います。
また、参加者に合わせて柔軟に内容を合わせていただいており、チエコとダンの人柄に感激しました！
写真もフェイスブックで無料提供してもらえたのもありがたかったです。

We participated with two elementary school students and two adults, a total of four people. Our reservation was for 1 PM, but we had to wait about 40 minutes for the previous canoe to return. However, the staff member who spoke Japanese at the reception said, "You can wait in the pool at the Royal Hawaiian," so we were lucky to wait while playing in the pool, keeping the kids entertained.

We experienced the canoe with three families from the West and our group of four. In addition to a friendly captain, one of the staff members who spoke Japanese joined us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The kids just sat in the canoe without paddles. When I asked, "Can we take pictures while on the canoe?" they replied, "You can take pictures without paddles," so I also took pictures without a paddle and enjoyed canoe surfing to my heart's content. Although we were told we could ride the waves twice, we were lucky enough to ride three times, which left us very satisfied.

We had a fantastic time at a reasonable price, and the whole family enjoyed it. I highly recommend it!

小学生2人と大人2人の4人で参加しました。
13時～の予約でしたが、前の回のカヌーが戻ってくるのを待っていて40分ほど待ち時間があったとおもいます。
しかし受付の日本語のできるスタッフの方が「（ロイヤルハワイアンの）プールに入って待ってていいよ」とのことでしたので、プールで遊びながら待っていたので子供達も飽きずに待ててラッキーでした。

カヌーは、欧米のファミリー三人と私たち四人が一緒に体験しました。感じの良いキャプテンの他に、先程の日本語のできるスタッフの一人も入ってくれて安心して楽しめました。
子供はオールは持たずに乗るだけ。 「カヌーに乗って写真を撮っても良いか？」と聞いたら、「オールなしなら写真撮れるよ」とのことだったので、私もオールはなしで 思う存分写真を撮りながらカヌーサーフィンを体験させていただきました。
波に乗れるのは２回とのことでしたが、またまたラッキーな事に3回も乗らせて頂き大満足です。

手頃な値段で、家族みんなが楽しめて最高の時間が過ごせました。
おすすめです！

Thank you for your assistance this time. Perhaps due to it being the Obon season, there were many participants, and after watching the video and having a lesson on land, we were left relatively unattended, finishing in about an hour and a half instead of the two hours promised. There was also no proper guidance regarding the return transportation, leaving us wondering if that was it!?

I think it may depend on the number of participants, but I felt disappointed that I couldn't experience a sense of fulfillment, and it felt like I wasted my valuable time during my stay.

この度はお世話になりました。
お盆の時期だったためか参加人数も多かったこともあり、ビデオを見て、陸でレッスンして、あとは割と放置気味で2時間どころか全体で1時間半位で終了。帰りの送迎に対してもきちんとした案内もなく、これで終わり⁉︎という感じでした。
参加人数等にもよるのかと思いますが、充実感を感じられることなく終わってしまい、貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしてしまった感じでとても残念でした。

It shakes quite a bit! It's better to take precautions against seasickness for peace of mind.

The pickup was 15 minutes late, which made me very anxious, but I really enjoyed the activity itself! I didn't check the usual tipping rates and ended up giving a very small tip, so I felt quite sorry about it later.

かなり揺れます！
船酔い対策していた方が安心でしょう。

ピックアップは15分遅れで
とても不安になりましたが
アクティビティ自体はとても楽しめました！
チップの相場を調べておらず
かなり少ない額のチップしか渡せなかったので
後々とても申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

I made a reservation for 120 meters, and I think it was indeed 120 meters, but I felt a thrill and excitement that made it feel even higher. Ultimately, if you get friendly with the captain, he seems willing to accommodate requests on a whim. This is because the operation of the parasailing (managing the wires and adjusting the boat's speed) depends on the captain's skills, and in my case, it was outstanding (he operated the boat while singing along to the background music!).

Both the captain and the crew member were locals, and they could understand some basic Japanese, while basic English was also sufficient for communication.

Another memorable aspect was the Japanese person who provided transportation. He had a slightly suspicious vibe with his broken Japanese, but it was amusing, and he was quite kind, which made for a good memory in a way.

One point to note is that the boat goes quite fast and can be quite bumpy (the parasailing itself can also be shaky), so if you are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

120mで予約して、結局120mだったとは思いますが、それ以上の高さを感じるほど楽しさとスリルを味わえました。
結局は船長さんと仲良くなれば、ノリでリクエストに答えてくれる感じがありました。というのもパラセイリングの操作(ワイヤーの操作、ボートの速度調整)は船長の操船技術次第ですが、私の時は抜群でした。(BGM流し歌いながらボートを運航！）
船長、クルー(１名)いずれも現地の方でしたが、片言の日本語は通じますし、片言の英語でも十分通じます。
また他に印象的だったのは、送迎の日系の方です。片言の日本語で若干胡散臭い感じがしたのですが、それがまた面白く、それでいて結構親切で、ある意味良い思い出となりました。
注意点としては、ボートが速度も出て結構揺れるので、(パラセイリング自体も揺れますが）、酔いやすい方は、酔い止めは必須と思います。

On the day of the event, due to traffic regulations, the pickup from the hotel was changed to a pickup about a 10-minute walk away. Parasailing is an activity unique to resort areas, so I think it will be a memorable experience. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful.

当日、交通規制があったためホテルピックアップではなく10分くらい歩いたところからの送迎に変更になりました。
パラセーリングはリゾート地ならではのアクティビティなので、思い出に残ると思います。
景色もすごく綺麗でした。

The sea was more beautiful than I expected, and I could see fish, sunken ships, and planes very clearly. I was also able to encounter a sea turtle, which was great. However, not only the submarine but also the boat to get there swayed quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be prepared.

思っていた以上に海がキレイで、魚や沈んだ船や飛行機などよく見えました。海ガメにも出会えたし良かったです。ただ、潜水艦だけでなくそこまで行くための船もかなり揺れますので乗り物酔いされる方は相応の覚悟が必要かと。

I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.

Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)

Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです！ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、１時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり！！シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました！　また、参加したいです！！

We participated as a family of four. Since we chose the 150m option, it felt quite high and gave the impression of going far up. The boat crew was cheerful, and we had a great time. Yano, who provided our transportation, was the best. We had a bit of time before boarding, but during the wait, we were told to cool off in the car, and after docking, they offered us drinks, showing great hospitality.

One thing to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. Even so, both of my adult daughters were feeling unwell.

家族４人で参加しました。150ｍにしたので、相当高く、遠くまで上がった印象です。ボートのクルーも明るく、楽しめました。送迎してくれたヤノさんは最高です。乗船まで少し時間があったのですが、待機時間中は車の中で涼んでおいてと言われたり、寄港後は飲み物をくれたりサービス精神満載でした。
一点だけ、ボートが相当揺れるので酔い止め必須です。それでも娘二人（成人）はダウン状態でした。

I signed up for the dinner package. The quality of the course was excellent, with a generous amount of food that I couldn't finish. The show, featuring Michael and the dancers, was full of spirit and enthusiasm. I had come to see it with my mother 30 years ago. Even after 30 years, the show has not lost its charm. I want to go again.

ディナー付きで申し込みました。食べきれない量で質の良いコースがとても満足でした。ショーはマイケルはもちろんダンサーの方々のサービス精神旺盛。30年前に母と見にきたことがありました。30年経っても色あせないショー。また行きたいです。

My husband and I participated together. It was both of our first time parasailing, and we were nervous, but once we tried it, we talked about how glad we were to be flying (o^^o). It was such a great experience, so I highly recommend it as a memory of Hawaii! ☆

旦那と二人で参加しました。
二人ともパラセーリングは初めてでドキドキでしたが、いざやってみて飛んでる間やってよかったねと話しました(o^^o)
とても良い体験なのでハワイの思い出におすすめしますっ☆
