All Reviews for For 12 Year Olds

My wife and I are in our mid-fifties so we cant do the extreme sports or activities. We still wanted to do an activity in Hawaii so we chose Rock a hula and we couldnt be happier. The food was very tasty, they even had a pig like they do in traditional luaus. My wife really enjoyed the coconut fish and the desserts. The dinner was a 10! The show included amazing impersenators of Elvis and Micheal Jackson. We weren't to familiar with the third, but the rest of the younger crowds did seem to enjoy her. I think there is no going wring with this Rock a hul, it will surely let everyone have a great time!

Let me start by saying, I'm not easily impressed. From the start, with our pick up the staff was friendly and accommodating. Our pick up driver was on time. Being that we were also brining our small 9mo old we were ruining a few minutes behind yet, he kindly waited. We got there and were escorted to the theater. While we waited for dinner they put on a little show with hula dancers. Once we were allowed to enter the dinning area the staff all greeted us with smiles and genuine recognition. The drinks were delicious!! My husband isn't a fan of mixed drinks, but instead of his usual beer he actually drank two mai tais. We learned a few hula dances at dinner my son and I, that was my favorite.The food presentation was beautiful and very tasty, dessert my favorites cake, ice cream and cookies good for everyone's taste buds. The show itself was a perfect mix of Hawaiian and traditional entertainment. I actually enjoyed the Hawaiian parts best. I would recommend to more of my family and friends to attend, I already have. They take great care of you!

I was quite nervous since it was my first time paragliding, but the explanations were thorough, and I had a great atmosphere with the other participants! It felt like time flew by because I enjoyed my walk in the sky so much! I thought it could have been a bit longer, but I was fully satisfied! I would love to participate in this activity again next time! (⌒▽⌒)

初めてのパラだったのでかなりドキドキしてましたが、説明もしっかりしていただき他の参加者の方ともすごくいい雰囲気で楽しめました！！
空の散歩が楽しすぎたせいかすぐに時間が過ぎてしまった感じでした！！
もう少し時間が、長くてもいいかなとは思いましたが充分満足できました！！
次回もまた参加してみたいアクティビティです(⌒▽⌒)

Since we were staying at a hotel in Ala Moana, we could easily walk to the Hilton. Although it was said to take 2-3 hours, we signed up at 11:00, and since it was just the four of us, we were back at the hotel by 12:30.

The view from 150 meters high was truly fantastic, refreshing, and amazing!

アラモアナのホテルに滞在していたので、ヒルトンまですぐそこで歩いて行けました。
実際には２－３時間かかると言われていましたが、１１時に申し込んで、私たち４人だけだったので、12時半にはホテルに戻ってこられました。

１５０ｍの高さは本当に見晴らしがよく、気持ちよくて、最高でした！

We went with five family members: three adults and two children aged 8 and 3. The two children were not prompted to wear life jackets, but we could borrow them for free if we asked. They provide three to four practical sessions. The staff members at the back steer while we paddle, so the girls and kids were fine just holding the oars. Riding the waves was more thrilling than we imagined! During our first try, while riding the waves, a Japanese surfer suddenly appeared, and we had to steer to avoid him, almost capsizing. Foreigners were all very good at dodging. For those who can't swim and for children, wearing a life jacket is absolutely essential. This kind of situation is rare, but it was quite scary. Since my 3-year-old was frightened, we ended our attempts after three tries, including one failure. They seemed willing to let us go again, but we decided to finish. Middle schoolers and above will have a blast!

大人３人８才３才の家族５人で乗りました。子供２人のライフジャッケトの着用促されませんでしたが、一応、無料で、こちらから頼み無料で借りれました。３回から４回実地してくれます。こぐのもスタッフ２人が後ろで舵をとりながら、してくれるので、女子供はオールを持ってるだけでも大丈夫でした。波に乗ると想像以上にスリリング！！最初のトライの時、波に乗ってる中で、サーファーの日本人が飛び出してきて、こちらが、舵を切りよけて、横波に当たられ転覆寸前でした。外人さんはみんな上手によけてくれます。泳げない方や子供は絶対にライフジャッケット必須です。こんなことは、まずないようでしたが、ビビリマシタ。３歳の子供が怖がったため、失敗入れて３回でトライ終了。もう１回行ってくれそうでしたが、終了してもらいました。中学生以上は、メッチャ楽しめます。

I was a bit anxious about participating with my 63-year-old mother and my 5-year-old son, but my husband was also with us, so all four of us could enjoy the experience together. We all had a great time. Since we took motion sickness medication before departure, no one ended up feeling seasick, which was a relief.

63歳の母と、5歳の息子を連れての参加で不安もありましたが、夫も一緒に4人一緒に飛ばせてもらえました。みんなで楽しめました。出発前に酔い止めも飲んでいたので、誰も船酔いもせずに終われて良かったです。

I signed up for the 10 AM tour, so the commentary was in Japanese. The local guide's Japanese explanation was entertaining and easy to understand, with some jokes mixed in. We took a boat to the point where we boarded the submarine, and the second floor of the boat was very pleasant, giving us a nice cruise feeling. It was a bit cold inside the submarine. There were many young groups and families. We were able to see colorful fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a certificate.

10時のツアーに申し込んだので日本語の解説でした。現地の方の日本語の解説は、ジョークも交えて面白おかしく、そしてわかりやすいものでした。潜水艦に乗るポイントまでは、船で行くのですが、船の2階はとても気持ちよく、ちょっとしたクルーズ気分が味わえて良かったです。潜水艦内では、ちょっと寒かったです。若いグループや、ファミリーが多かったです。カラフルな魚やサメも見れました(^ ^)証明書はもらえなかったです。

I returned to my teenage years and reaffirmed that Hawaii is an indispensable legend. It was great.

10代にもどれました、またハワイに欠くことの出来ないレジェンドで在った事を再認識しました、良かったです。

So much fun!!!!! I thought the guy I the office was a bit rude, but didn't let that effect my rating. The guys on the boat were so nice & friendly, made my family feel so comfortable. Awesome experience!

Originally, we were scheduled for the day before, but the meeting place was hard to find, so we couldn't do it that day. I communicated with Beltora and ended up making a reservation for the next day to experience it. I had participated before and had a great time then as well, but this time I was able to enjoy it amidst the loud music and excitement. I definitely recommend the 150-meter option.

元々予定していたのは前日で、集合場所が分かり辛く、結局その日は出来ずに、ベルトラさんとやりとりをして、次の日に予約とゆう形で体験しました。
以前も参加したことがあり、その時も楽しかったですが、爆音ノリノリの中、楽しく過ごすことができました。
やっぱり150メートルがオススメです。

The underwater world was not monochrome, but rather a monochromatic blue. I was peering in with all my might, but there weren't many fish. However, the view of Waikiki from the boat was great.

海底はモノクロならぬモノアオのせかいでした
一生懸命のぞいていたけど
魚はなかなかいませんでした
でも船から見たワイキキの眺めは
よかったです

I had wanted to try this for a long time. I finally fulfilled my wish and went for it. I was unsure about the height, but I decided on 120 meters! In the end, I didn't feel scared at all and thought I could have gone even higher. I was also worried about getting seasick, but that was fine. The staff's high energy and brightness lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, it was over without even having time to feel seasick. Next time, I definitely want to participate again.

以前から一度チャレンジしてみたいと思ってました。
やっと念願かなって飛びました。
高さをどうしょうか‥と悩みましたが‥120メートルに決定！
結果‥全く怖さも感じずもっと高くても良かったかも‥と思いました
心配してた船酔いも、大丈夫でした。
スタッフのテンションの高さや明るさで、気分も上がり‥船酔いする間も無くあっという間に終了‥次回‥また参加したいです。

Riding on a submarine was a first-time experience for me. It was great to see the fish at the bottom of the sea and the sunken ship. However, I did feel a bit seasick.

潜水艦に乗った事自体が、初体験でした。
海底の魚達や沈没船を観れた事が、とても良かったです。
ただ、少し船酔してしまいました。

We boarded the ship with a total of four groups, and they guided us to our journey in the sky efficiently and safely!

Since we departed early in the morning, the sunlight wasn't too strong, making it quite pleasant! We'll come back to visit again!

計4組で船に乗船し、手際よく安全に
空の旅へと誘ってくれました‼

朝一から出発したので、
日射しも強くなくて心地よかったです！
また遊びに行きます！

The Rock a Hula show was good, including Elvis presley, michael jackson, and katie perry. It also included traditional festive hawaiian misic, and dance, as was quite entertaining.!! I would recommend taking the show-laua package, food was great, and hosts were sooo nice!! I hope you will decide to go. The fire knife dance was also very entertaining!! He pressed the fire directly to his tongue, and held up the fire directly with his feet! Also twirled the fire with both hands! I cannot believe how he can stand the heat!! Elvis presley sang many songs, and came off the stage into the balcony, and shook my hand, and hugged my wife, unbelievable!! Michael jackson did his moonwalk, and sang classic mj songs like billie jean, etc., so entertaining!! He really looked like michael jackson, the black geri-curled hair, signature white glove, red dance jacket, and those famous michael jackson dance moves, WOW!!
I can't say enough about the venue, the hotel which held the show, the drinks were awesome, all the staff were so nice, so accomodating, and everyone was helpful!! When I return to hawaii in june I plan to go again with my sons!! You would really enjoy this show, I highly recommend it!! The total experience was an unforgettable pleasure!!

I was a bit worried that 150 meters would be scary, but it felt amazing! The boat was really rocky on the way to the parasailing spot, so I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick. However, I'm glad I participated.

150メートルにしたので、怖いかなと不安でしたが最高に気持ち良かったです！パラセーリングスポットに着くまで船が凄く揺れたため、酔い止め服用しましたが船酔いしてしまいました。でも。参加してよかったです。

My husband took me here for our Anniversary. We had a great time at the buffet! The food was amazing and so was the dinner entertainment! There isn't a bad seat in the place! They engaged the audience in the performance and not only were the main acts great, the dancers were amazing and kept the audience attention the whole time. You weren't ready for it to be over, but it was nice to take pictures wth the entertainers after the show. It was my husbands second time attending, so I bet we will be back for another show! Worth every penny!

During my trip to Hawaii with my mother, I wanted to see a hula dance show since we were in Hawaii. I found information about this hula show in other guidebooks and thought it might be famous, so we decided to participate. The location was excellent, right in the center of Waikiki, and the show ended after 9 PM. I was a bit worried about walking back to the hotel, but there were plenty of people around, and we were able to walk back safely.

We gathered at the Royal Hawaiian Center around 6:30 PM and had our meal in a tent-like area outside. It was a lot of fun to interact with others seated nearby. The buffet-style meal was delicious, and the staff were all very cheerful, creating a bright and enjoyable atmosphere. After having dessert and taking a restroom break, we entered the venue right in front of us and took photos with the performers.

When the performance started, the hula dance and impersonation show began, and everything was really enjoyable. Watching the performers dance so happily lifted our spirits as well. The impersonation performers ranged from stars of the grandmother generation to current popular figures, making it a show that people of all ages could enjoy.

Seeing this show energized me and made me feel very cheerful. It was a lot of fun!

母と2人でハワイへ旅行した際に、ハワイに来たからにはフラダンスを見たいと思い、他のガイドブックにもこのフラショーについて書いてあり、有名なのかなと思い参加してみました。立地がとても良く、ワイキキの中心部にあり夜9時過ぎに終演で、帰り道など危なくないかと不安でしたが、人通りも多く、ホテルまで歩いて帰れました。
18時30分頃ロイヤルハワイアンセンターへ集合し、食事は外のテントのような所で食べました。席が近くなった方と交流したりとても楽しかったです。また、食事はビュッフェスタイルでとても美味しい料理ばかりでした。スタッフの方もとても陽気な方ばかりで、明るい雰囲気がとても楽しかったです。 食後のデザートを食べ、トイレ休憩した後は目の前の会場の中に入り、パフォーマーの方と写真を撮りました。 パフォーマンスが始まると、フラダンスとモノマネショーが始まりどれもとても楽しかったです。パフォーマーの方がとても楽しそうに踊っている姿をみて、私たちも楽しい気分になりました。モノマネパフォーマーのおばあちゃん世代のスター〜今時の流行りの方だったりと、どの世代も楽しめるようなショーでした。
このショーを見れて元気が出ましたし、とても明るい気持ちになりました。 楽しかったです！

The driver for the pickup, the parasailing crew, and the staff were able to communicate even without speaking Japanese, and since three out of the four groups were Japanese, I had no worries at all.

I couldn't take pictures of myself while flying, so I asked the crew to take photos, and they captured some natural expressions, which became a wonderful memory. Instead of buying photos, I received an SD card with dozens of pictures for $30, so I felt it was worth it to request the shoot.

I chose a height of 120 meters this time. I was torn between 120 meters and 150 meters, and before the experience, I was scared, so I opted for 120 meters. However, it was not scary at all, and the moment I was rising into the sky was just the best. I felt like I could have gone even higher, so I think I would be totally fine with 150 meters. I was worried about the boat's rocking and took motion sickness medicine, but when the boat was moving fast, it was a bit scary, yet refreshing, so I didn't feel nauseous. The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but since the wind wasn't strong, it was calm while I was in the air.

Before going, I was unsure about the tip amount. I had planned to give 10% of the fee for two people, but since I didn't have small change, I ended up giving $20 for both of us.

Next time, I want to try 150 meters!

送迎のドライバーさん、パラセイリングのクルー、スタッフの方は、日本語が話せなくても、カタコトで伝わりましたし、今回は、4組中３組が日本人のメンバーだったせいか、全く不安がなかったです。
自分では、飛んでる姿を撮影できないのでクルーに撮影してもらい自然な表情が撮れていて、とても良い記念になりました。写真を買うのではなく、何十枚も撮影してくれたSDカードを頂けるので３０ドル出しても撮影をお願いして良かったと思います。
高さは、今回120ｍにしました。150ｍと迷いましたが体験する前は怖くて120ｍにしましたが全く怖くなくてグングン空に上がっていく時が、もう最高でした。もっともっと上がれ～という感じだったので150ｍでも全然大丈夫だと思いました。船の揺れも心配して酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が高速で進む時がちょっと怖くて、でも爽快だったので、酔いもなかったです。天気は曇りで肌寒い日でしたが、風が強くなかったので空にいるときも穏やかでした。
行く前はチップの金額に悩みましたが、２名分の料金の10％をお渡ししようと思っていましたが、細かいお金がなかったため、２名で参加して合わせて２０ドルお渡ししました。
今度は、150ｍ挑戦してみたいです。

I was able to participate easily even though I couldn't exercise.

The staff's response was good, and I had a great time.

It was a bit inconvenient that there was no Japanese support, but it wasn't a problem.

運動ができなくても気軽にできました

スタッフの対応も良くて楽しかったです

日本語対応をしてなかったので少し不便でしたが、問題ありませんでした

I was able to take a lot of photos (you can purchase an SD card), and I made some great memories. I went with 120m, but I wondered if I could have done 150m as well.

たくさん写真を撮っていただき（SDを購入出来ます）いい思い出が出来ました。
120mにしたのですが、150mでもいけたかな？と思いました。

It goes higher than I expected.
And the view from the top was amazing!
Although you are identified by a sticker based on the height you signed up for, I didn't feel much difference in height.
I recommend it because you can enjoy Hawaii from the sky.

思ったよりも高くあがります。
そして、上から見た景色は素晴らしかったです！
一応、申し込んだ高さによってシールで識別されていますが、高さに差はあまり感じられませんでした。
ハワイを空から楽しめるので、お勧めです。

I participated in a group lesson. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a detailed manner, which was great.

グループレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方がとても親切で丁寧に教えてくれたので、よかったです。

I reserved a 130m flight. I was able to see the scenery, but the flying time was quite short. I didn't have any particular concerns.

130mを予約しました。景色もみれましたが、飛んでる時間がかなり短かった。
特に不安に思うことはなかった。

We had great time, the food was good with very nice servers who were also the hula dancers, they were very entertaining and made it a great experience, a singer was there the whole time too. Afterwards we went into the theater for the show. The performers were great especially the Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, also the whole show had a Hawaiian theme with interspersed hula dances. Best part was the guy with the fire at the end. Overall very entertaining and highly recommended.

I saw that they were giving away a photo DVD (worth $25) as a nice keepsake, so my wife and I signed up for a semi-private lesson. After the lesson, we received a DVD that contained a total of 435 photos, but we only appeared in 27 of them. Moreover, 11 of those were of us paddling back to shore. Including blurry and poorly taken shots, there were only 16 decent photos of us standing. There were about 10 good photos in total. I will never use this school again.

☆レッスン中の写真DVD（$25相当）をプレゼント！☆ と書いていたので良い記念になると思って、家内と２人でセミプライベートレッスンを申し込んだ。
レッスン後に受け取ったDVDには全部で435枚の写真が入っていたが、そのうちで自分たちが映っていたのはたったの27枚。
しかも、そのうちの11枚は岸に戻ってくるパドリング姿。
落ちかけやピンボケを含んで立っている姿は２人合わせてたったの16枚。
まともな写真は10枚程度。
2度とここのスクールを使うことは無い。

I used to think 90 meters was nothing, but the sea in Waikiki was incredibly refreshing and moving. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 120 meters.

９０メートルなんて馬鹿にしていましたがワイキキの海は大変爽快で感動いたしました。今度は１２０メートルに挑戦したいと思います。

The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable experience. I was a bit worried because the explanations were in English, but I managed to get through it. The swaying was quite severe, so my child got motion sickness.

陽気なスタッフでとても楽しい経験でした。説明が英語だったので少し不安でしたが、何とか過ごせました。揺れがひどかったので子供が酔ってしまいました。

I was generally good with transportation, but I ended up getting seasick while waiting on the boat. I think motion sickness medication is necessary. The view was beautiful, with a higher altitude than when I experienced it in Bali, and I could see all of Waikiki Beach. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

乗り物には強い方でしたが船で待機している時間に船酔いをしてしまいました。酔い止めは必要だと思います。以前バリで体験した時より高度が高くワイキキビーチを一望でき綺麗でした╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Everyone was really nice, and I had a great time!! The water was shallow enough to stand, which was reassuring. The waves kept coming, and they were gentle, making it easy for beginners to ride, which was great!! The instructor was friendly and made it fun ( ¨̮ )

However, after the session, there was no explanation about when we could go back or if there would be a bus to take us. When I asked, I was told the bus wouldn't come for 40 minutes, so I ended up walking back. That was a bit disappointing...

とてもみんないい人ばかりで楽しかったです！！
深さも足がつくくらいだったので安心でした。
波も次々に来てたくさん出来たし緩い波だったので初心者には乗りやすくて良かったです！！
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです( ¨̮ )

ただ終わってからがいつ帰っていいとかバスで送迎してくれるとかの説明が無く、聞いたらバスが40分来ないと言われ結局歩いて帰りました。
そこだけが少し残念でした、、、
