All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

I got off at Ala Moana Center from the airport. At the Roberts Hawaii lounge, I checked my luggage and reserved a shuttle bus from Ala Moana Center to Sheraton Waikiki, departing at 3 PM, and then I went shopping and had lunch. I was worried about what to do if I couldn't make it in time for the 3 PM bus, so it was great to be able to discuss it in Japanese. It seemed that I could contact them about the 4 PM bus and change my reservation if there was availability. In the end, I think it was better to check my luggage here and enjoy shopping and lunch rather than wasting time on travel.

空港からアラモアナ・センターで降りました。ロバーツハワイのラウンジで、荷物を預け、15時発のアラモアナ・センターからシェラトン・ワイキキまでシャトルバスを予約して、ショッピングとランチをしました。買い物に熱中して15時に間に合わなければどうする？とか、日本語で相談できて良かったです。16時のバスでも連絡して空きがあれば変更できるようでした。結果、移動の時間ばかりで時間をロスするより、ここで荷物を預けて、買い物&ランチができて良かったと思います。

I participated in the 120m event. The staff was great, and it was really fun, especially getting splashed in the sea. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine, but there were quite a few people around me who were feeling pretty seasick, so I recommend taking something to be in top shape to enjoy it fully.

120mで参加しました。スタッフさんのノリもよく、海に落とされたりしてすごく楽しかったです。私は酔い止めを飲んでいたので平気でしたが、周囲にはかなり酔ってる方々もいたので、万全の状態で楽しむためにも飲むことをおすすめします。

I participated in the morning session. They picked me up from my hotel, so I didn't have to worry about transportation. We got on the board for about a 10-minute experience. While waiting for others to finish their turns, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some anti-nausea medication to enjoy it without worries. There are moments during the experience when you'll be in the water up to your legs or waist, so it's best to wear a swimsuit. On the way back, my swimsuit was still wet, but they drove us back to the hotel, so everyone returned wrapped in towels they brought.

I think it's a good idea to bring cash since you'll need to tip the staff after the experience. Also, for an additional $30, they will take photos during the experience! I saw some couples who mentioned they were on their honeymoon purchasing them.

朝一の時間帯で参加しました。宿泊先のホテルまで迎えに来てくれたので移動の心配も要らなかったです。ボードに乗り、１組10分ほどの体験でした。他の人たちの体験中もボードに乗って待つため、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が心置きなく楽しめると思います。体験中海に脚〜腰まで海に浸かるタイミングがあるので水着を着て行きます。帰りも水着が濡れたままでしたが、またホテルまで送ってくれるので皆さん水着に持参したタオルを巻いたまま帰ってました。
体験後にスタッフの人にチップを払うので現金も持っていくといいと思います。
また現地で30ドル払うと、体験中の写真を撮ってくれます！ハネムーンで来た、と言っていた方々が購入していました。

After shopping at Ala Moana Center, I requested to change the scheduled pickup time, and they responded smoothly. They also took care of all my luggage, allowing me to make good use of my time, and I am very satisfied!

アラモアナセンターにて買い物後、予定していたピックアップ時間を変更お願いしたところスムーズに対応頂けました。
荷物も全て預かって貰えて時間の有効活用も出来満足出来てます！

This well-run tour took us to a place known as Turtle Canyon a few hundred meters off of Waikiki where sea turtles come to get cleaned by algae eating fish.
There were a couple of dozen of varying ages (judging by their sizes) and though touching is prohibited, it was easy to get close enough that you could have.
Sharp, amusing crew, well maintained and clean masks, snorkels, and fins provided, and cold local beer.
A great combination.

We challenged ourselves as a family of five! The guide was amazing, and it was a lot of fun! I want to try it again!

家族5人でチャレンジしてみました！
ガイドの方が最高で、盛り上がり楽しかったです！また、チャレンジしたいです！

I made a reservation for 1:00 PM on the day of my arrival in Hawaii. I wanted my family, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, to get a concrete image of the scale of Waikiki, the location of our hotel, and Diamond Head, so this was a perfect choice to grasp the overall view from the ocean.

Before participating, I read reviews and thought it would be a participatory event with a rap-style BGM playing throughout, which might explain the low number of Japanese participants. However, it was completely different. You can enjoy it at your own pace, so there's no need to worry. The captain did tell jokes in English to the participants at the beginning, but that was just at the start. During the trip, he was very friendly, handling the sales and drinks, and occasionally pointing out, "You can see a turtle over there." I can't even remember if there was any BGM.

In addition to alcohol, there were about five types of soft drinks (canned juices) available for $3 each. I bought the pineapple juice, which was delicious.

As we headed out to sea, we moved against the waves, which caused some up-and-down rocking and heightened the excitement. We went to a position where we could see Diamond Head Lighthouse well, so the distance traveled was relatively long. On the way back to shore, it was almost completely calm, allowing us to enjoy the scenery peacefully.

When disembarking, there was a suggestion to leave a tip in a container if you liked the experience.

Additionally, before boarding, they take a photo of each group with the boat and Diamond Head in the background. At disembarkation, they encourage you to purchase a 2L size photo as a simple album for $20. While purchasing is optional, I think it's better to place your bags and footwear in a spot that won't be in the frame if you're considering buying. We bought it, and it was funny because everyone was holding their sandals up in a "banzai" pose.

Also, the ladder to board the boat is at the front. If you want to get splashed with more water, I recommend the front. On Oahu, you can usually hear Japanese being spoken on various optional tours, but this tour allows you to experience being abroad in a good way, away from Japanese.

ハワイ到着当日の13:00を予約しました。初めてハワイを訪れた家族のためにワイキキの規模感や泊まるホテルの場所、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど具体的にイメージしてもらいたく、沖から全体をつかんでもらうには、これが大当たりでした。
参加する前にこちらのレビューを拝見し、勝手にラップ調のBGMガンガンで終始英語の参加型イベントかな？だから日本人の参加が少ないのかな？など勝手に思っていましたが全然違いました。自分のペースで楽しめるので心配不要です。確かにキャプテンが参加者に英語で、ジョークを話していましたが、最初だけです。途中はセールの操作とドリンク対応、たまに「あの辺にカメが見えるよ」などの案内でとてもフレンドリーでした。BGMもあったかどうか記憶が無いくらいです。
アルコールのほかソフトドリンク（缶ジュース）も1缶$3で5種類くらいありました。最初に聞き取れたパイナップルジュースを購入しましたが、これがまた美味かった。
沖に向かっていくときは波に逆らって進むので上下に揺れ、テンションが上がります。ダイヤモンドヘッド灯台が良く見える位置まで向かったので割と移動距離も長めです。岸に戻る時は、一転ほとんど揺れないので、落ち着いて景色を堪能できます。
下船時に「良かったらそこの入れ物にチップをよろしく」的な話があります。

なお、乗る前に参加グループごとに船とダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮ってくれます。下船時に2Lサイズの写真を見開きの簡易アルバムとして$20で購入を勧めてきます。購入は任意ですが、購入を考える方は荷物や履物は写らない場所に置いた方がいいと思います。私どもは購入したのですが、全員サンダルを手に持ってバンザイしているので笑えます。
それから船は乗る時のハシゴがある方が前です。水しぶきを多めに浴びたい方は前がお勧めです。
オアフ島でのオプショナルツアーは、必ずと言っていいほど、どこかしらから日本語が聞こえてきますが、こちらのツアーは良い意味で日本語と離れることができ海外に来たことを実感できます。

I was looking forward to it since I am learning hula. It was great that the show was in the hotel where I was staying, so it was close by. However, I didn't know that I needed to exchange the voucher for tickets, so even though I lined up early, I had to go through the process, which made me late. The food was also great; I enjoyed a variety of Hawaiian dishes, from vegetables to meat and dessert. The live performances, hula, and fire knife dance were all very impressive.

フラを習っているので、楽しみにしていました。
宿泊ホテルの中でのショーなので近くて良かったです。
但し、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのを知らなかったので、早くに並んでいたのに手続きしに行き、その分遅くなりました。
食事も、野菜からお肉、デザートまでハワイの料理が色々食べれて良かったです。
ライブ演奏やフラ、ファイヤーナイフダンスすべて見応えありました。

I participated with my mother in her 60s. On the day of the event, it was quite windy. I had experienced parasailing a few times before, and there were moments that felt like the brief lift you get on a roller coaster. I think on a calm day, it would just feel like floating peacefully.

I have a fear of heights, but parasailing doesn’t scare me. It is high up, but strangely, when you see the ocean below, you hardly feel the height, and more than that, the sensation of the sky, sea, and wind is just wonderful.

I tend to get seasick, but both my mother and I were fine. My mother, who was a bit scared, did scream a little when we were swept by the wind, but in the end, she said it was worth it and felt great!

For those who are hesitant and feeling a bit scared, I really encourage you to try it! The feeling of being close to the sky is amazing.

60代の母と参加しました。
当日は風が強く、パラセーリングは何度か経験したことがありましたが、ジェットコースターの一瞬お尻が浮く感じ？のような瞬間が度々ありました。風のない日ならきっとおだやかに浮いているだけだと思います。
私は高所恐怖症ですがパラセーリングは怖くないです。高いところなんでしょうけど、不思議と下が海だとほとんど高さも感じないし、それ以上に空と海と風の気持ち良さが最高です。
船酔いしやすいですが、私も母も大丈夫でした。
怖がっていた母も、風に流された時は多少叫んでましたが、結果はやって良かった！気持ちよかったと言ってました。
ちょっと怖いなと迷ってる方も、ぜひ体験してみて欲しいです！空に近くなる感じが最高です。

This is my second time, and it was still a lot of fun. Although I got a bit seasick due to the weather, it's also a good travel memory. Thank you!

今回2回目ですが、やっぱり楽しかったです。
多少天気の関係もあって船酔いもしたけど、それもいい旅行の思い出ですありがとうございます

We participated as a family with members in their teens, twenties, forties, and seventies. The buffet before the show, including the hula dance experience, was a lot of fun. The dinner lasted about an hour, and there was a wide variety of desserts, so we left feeling full. The first drink included a stylish Mai Tai cocktail, and the second drink was $10. Everyone enjoyed the show together. If I could wish for something, it would be that there were a few more songs that the younger ones know to make it perfect. I was also happy that they were willing to take photos with us after the show. It became a wonderful memory.

10代、20代、40代、70代の家族で参加しました。
ショーの前のビュッフェの時、フラダンス体験等。こちらがかなり楽しかったです。
1時間ほどのディナーですが、デザートも豊富でお腹いっぱいになりました。
飲み物は最初の一杯はマイタイのお洒落なカクテルが含まれ、2杯目からは10ドルでした。
ショーも皆で楽しめました。
欲を言うならば…若い子たちが知ってる音楽ももう少しあれば完璧だなぁと思いました。
終わった後の写真撮影も快く応じてくれて嬉しかったです。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

It had been a while since I last visited Hawaii, and this time I went on a trip with my son to enjoy some marine sports. We decided to challenge ourselves with surfing first. I was a bit nervous because I heard the instructor would be a foreigner, but he spoke Japanese fluently (laughs). Since we chose a two-person lesson, it was just my son and me. The private lesson was a lot of fun, and the photos arrived quickly. Thank you very much!

久しぶりハワイで初サーフィン

ありがとうございました

We were the only three people on board during our reserved time slot. We enjoyed VIP treatment. The weather was great, and the view from above was amazing.

予約した時間帯は，私達3人だけで出航でした。
VIP 扱いを堪能です。
天気も良く、上空からの眺めは最高でした。

I usually spend time at the hotel by checking in my suitcase until it's time to check in, but I decided to book this service because I could stop by Ala Moana and then get a ride to the hotel afterward.

The transfer from the airport to Ala Moana was smooth, and at the lounge, I was able to change and freshen up my makeup. It was really helpful to finish my first round of shopping and then get a ride to the hotel.

Even if I bought bulky items like sneakers at Ala Moana, I could just put them in my suitcase and have them sent to the hotel, so I was able to shop without worry.

I think I will use this service again next time.

いつもチェックインまでの時間にホテルでスーツケースを預けて時間を潰すかんじだったのですが

アラモアナに立ち寄れて、その後もホテルまで送迎してもらえるとのことだったのでこちらを申し込みました。

空港から、アラモアナまでもスムーズで、
ラウンジでは着替えたり化粧直ししたりでき、
まず1回目の買い物を済ませてホテルまで送ってもらえるのは助かりました。

アラモアナではスニーカーなどかさばる物を買ってしまっても、
スーツケースに入れてホテルまで送迎で行けるので気にせず買い物もできました。

次も利用すると思います。

The flight was at 11:10, but the hotel pickup was at 6:35. I wondered if they really needed to come so early.

Other than that, everything was perfectly fine.

11:10発のフライトだったのですが、6:35にホテルお迎えだった。
そんな早く迎えに来ないといけないのかな。と思った。

それ以外は全然大丈夫でした。

Friendly staff, very easy to do, AWESOME time! Getting registered / checking in was very easy, would recommend to anyone. The views were incredible!

Since returning from Kona to Honolulu, I have used the service. The meeting point for domestic inter-island flights was said to be at the entrance of the baggage claim area, but even after waiting there, I couldn't find any staff. Since there are multiple baggage claim areas, it would be helpful if they indicated which number it is.

After finally finding the boarding area and informing the staff of my reservation, I was told to wait together with others who were also waiting. When it was time to board, they didn't call out the names of specific hotels; I had to ask myself, and then they told me to get on this bus! If you see a bus that seems like it might be the right one, it’s better to ask yourself.

コナからホノルルに戻ってきてからの利用です。
国内線離島線の集合場所は、手荷物受取場の入り口とあったので、そこで待てどもスタッフの方は見当たらない、、、。
手荷物受取場は何箇所もあるので、何番の受取場なのか書いてくれると親切だと思います。

やっと乗り場を見つけてスタッフに予約の旨を伝えると、他の方が待っている所で一緒に待つようにと言われました。
実際に乗る時は、特にどのホテルだとか名前を呼ばれず、自分から聞きに行ったらこのバスに乗って！と言われました。
それらしきバスがあったら、自分で聞きに行った方がよさそうです。

When we experienced it, everyone around us was a foreigner. Therefore, I couldn't understand the conversations at all and couldn't communicate much with those around me, but the journey on the boat was very refreshing with good weather. However, it was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must.

As for the parasailing itself, we gradually went up to 150 meters above the ground, and it was very scary as we swayed with every gust of wind. But the view was incredibly beautiful and it was a lot of fun!

私たちが体験した際には、周りは全員外国人の方々でした。そのため会話の内容は全くわからず周りとコミュニケーションはあまり取れませんでしたが、船での道中は天気も良くとても爽快でした。ただ、非常に揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。
パラセイリング自体は、150m上空まで徐々に上がっていき、風が吹くたび揺れて非常に怖かったです。
でも景色がとっても綺麗で楽しかったです！

I was worried about whether we could fly due to the strong winds in the days leading up to it, but the weather was great on the day, and we were able to fly safely. My husband and our 6-year-old daughter participated, and they happily talked about wanting to do it again next time! It seemed that 150 meters was quite high, and 90 meters would have been enough. Thank you!

連日の強風で飛べるか不安でしたが、当日はお天気もよく無事に飛べました。
主人と6歳の娘が参加しましたが、また次回もやりたい！と嬉しそうに話してくれました！
150メートルは高かったみたいで、90メートルでも十分だったようです。
ありがとうございました！

It sways more than I expected, so even if you don't usually get motion sickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication before getting on to enjoy it fully. The people I rode with and the foreign tourists were all really fun, and it was an absolute blast.

The photos were $30, so we took our own, but we were able to get great pictures with a GoPro or a smartphone (putting it in a waterproof case works well too). If you get friendly with the people you ride with, you might be able to take pictures for each other!

思った以上に揺れるので酔わない人でも酔い止め飲んでから乗った方が100楽しめます。
一緒に乗った人達やツアーの外人さんがノリのいい人達ばかりでめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。

写真が30$したので自分たちで撮りましたが、GoProやスマホ(濡れないケースに入れると◎)でも十分いい写真が撮れました。一緒に乗った人達と仲良くなるとお互い撮ってもらえるかも！

We participated as a family of three: my spouse, our daughter, and I. This was our third time experiencing parasailing. This time, we challenged ourselves to a height of 150 meters! We were fully prepared with swimsuits, towels, goggles, and waterproof phone cases. We were ready to fall into the water!

Perhaps the crew sensed our excitement, as they drove us around like a roller coaster, up and down, left and right! We were dropped into the water three times and ended up completely soaked.

It was an attraction that exceeded our expectations. We definitely want to experience it again!

夫婦・娘の３人で参加。パラセイリング体験は３回目です。
今回は、150ｍの高さにチャレンジ！水着・タオル・ゴーグル・防水スマホケース　等　準備万端。海面に落ちる気満々！
クルーがそれを感じたのか、上下・左右とジェットコースター的な運転！
海面に３回も落とされ、全身ビショビショ。
予想以上のアトラクションを体験できました。
ぜひ、また体験したいです。

We were picked up at the hotel. We all challenged ourselves to jump from 150m. When I actually saw the jump, my daughter (3rd grade) and I, who are not good with heights, thought, "This is free!" But when we actually jumped, it felt amazing. The instructor was also very kind. The photos were $30, but they took a lot for us! I definitely recommend getting them taken.

The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're even a little sensitive to motion, medication is a must. Two of my colleagues ended up in the sea...

Even if you're not good with heights, I highly recommend it for making memories.

ホテルまで迎えに来てもらえました。みんなで150mに挑戦しました。実際に飛んでいる所を見た時は、高いところが苦手な私と娘は(小3)は、無料〜と思いましたが、実際に飛ぶと凄く気持ち良かったです。インスタラクターの方も優しかったです。写真30＄でしたが、沢山撮ってくれます！是非撮ってもらった方が良いです。
ボートは結構揺れるので、乗り物が少しでも弱い方は薬は必需品です。同僚も2人海に…
高い所が苦手でも、思い出作りには凄くオススメです。

Dinner was buffet style, but it was so delicious that it didn't feel like a buffet at all. I was able to enjoy a cute original Mai Tai. There’s also a non-alcoholic Mai Tai available, so those who don’t drink can feel comfortable.

While eating, we got to watch hula dancing, and in the second half of dinner, there was a hula lesson, which made for a wonderful experience. The show was from the second-floor seats, but we were in the middle and had a great view. The performers even came right up to us, and I was moved to receive a towel from them.

I would love to go see it again. Highly recommended!!!

Dinnerはビュッフェスタイルでしたが、ビュッフェとは思えない程の美味しさで最高でした。
お酒も可愛いオリジナルマイタイが飲めました。ノンアルコールマイタイも飲めるので、お酒が飲めない方でも安心です。
また食べながらフラダンスも見れて、
Dinnerの後半にはフラレッスンもあり、とてもいい体験になりました。
ショーは、2階席でしたが真ん中でとてもいい席でした。またパフォーマーも目の前まで来てくれて、タオルもいただき感動です。
また観に行きたいと思いました。
オススメです！！！

The staff for Hawaiian parasail is a wonderful bunch great experience a fun time for the kids and the adults would use them again if we came back. The photos taken were ausome as well. The crew joked with the kids making them feel comfortable before they ever went up in the air thanks a bunch you guys were great!

After arriving on a domestic flight from the Big Island of Hawaii, we were guided to a bus and had to wait quite a while (to wait for other flight passengers). The bus was crowded as we headed to each hotel. The atmosphere was nice, and the driver provided guidance in English, so I have no complaints about the service. However, considering that the total time from the airport to the hotel was nearly 2 hours, I think it would be better to use a flat-rate taxi for $40 if the price difference is slight. If there are three or more people, taking a taxi is more economical.

ハワイ島から国内線で到着後、バスに案内されかなり待たされました。(他のフライト客を待つため)バスはぎゅうぎゅうになり、各ホテルへ向かいました。車内は英語でドライバーさんの案内で雰囲気も良くサービスに不満はありませんが、空港着からホテルまでトータル2時間近くの時間を考えると若干の値段差なら一律40ドルのタクシーを利用した方がいいと思います。3人以上ならタクシーの方が得です。

We watched the show from the golden seats with four friends. The performance, including the kahiko, was really enjoyable. I think it was worth the price. I would have been happier if there were a bit more variety in the food, but I did leave feeling full. I definitely plan to bring my family next time and watch the show again.

友達4人で、ゴールデンシートからの観覧
ショーは、カヒコなどもあり男性のパフォーマンスがとっても
楽しかったです。お値段に見合うだけの見ごたえは、あると思います。
食事が、もう少しいろいろな種類があれば嬉しかったけれど
お腹いっぱいには、なりました。
次、家族を連れてきた時も、ぜひ観覧しようと思います

A truely unique Hawaiian experience right on Waikiki beach. The team where wonderful and helped us paddle out thru the breaks and land the perfect waves to return to shore. Riding the waves back into shore you get an amazing view of the Waikiki shoreline and Diamond head from a different perspective. We had so much fun and looking forward to doing it again on our next trip.

I used the service from Honolulu. Although there was a slight delay, they handled it without getting angry. The vehicle was clean, the driving was smooth, and it was comfortable. I would like to use it again.

ホノルルから利用しました時間より少し送れましたが怒ることなく対応してくれました車両も綺麗で運転も荒くなく快適でした　また利用したいと思います

Unfortunately, it was held indoors due to strong winds. It's just bad luck. There's no helping it. The indoor setting lacked the excitement. The standard seats were quite far away. The show at a certain indoor pool in Japan was more impressive.

It was helpful that children could go and get the buffet food. Also, it was great to see the fire show, which I thought we wouldn't be able to see indoors.

あいにくの強風で室内での開催となりました。これは運ですね。仕方ないです。室内での開催は、迫力に欠けます。スタンダード席からは遠かったです。日本の某室内プールのショーの方が迫力がありますした。
ブッフェ料理は、子供から取りに行けたのは助かりました。また、室内では見れないと思っていたファイヤーショーが見れたのは良かったです。

This time, I signed up my son, a high school baseball player who has enjoyed staying in Hawaii since childhood, hoping he would enjoy some sports that are a bit more Hawaiian.

When we entered the shop, we were welcomed by friendly staff, and the procedures went smoothly even without Japanese.

The lesson was a group session, and it seems he was able to have a great time with everyone gathered there.

As I watched my son paddle out for the first time on the gentle waves, I regretted not participating myself. Among the participants, there were families (fathers and sons) enjoying the lesson together. It was a nice lesson where even the time spent watching was enjoyable, and the staff's support was excellent. My son mentioned that next time, he would prefer a private lesson.
