All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

I heard it would be rocky, and it really is, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please take some medication before going. There were about 5-6 people from America, 2 from Europe, and around 6 Japanese participants. At first, it shakes quite a bit, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but it calms down towards the end. The staff engages with you, so you can really enjoy the travel atmosphere. They also speak some simple English, so it's recommended for those who want to feel like they're having fun locally. Lastly, the sunset is very beautiful. By the way, if you want a proper meal, you might want to reconsider, as it's just light snacks.

揺れると聞いていましたが、本当に揺れますので酔い止めが必要な人は飲んで行ってください。アメリカの方々？が５〜６　ヨーローッパ２名　日本人６名くらいで参加しました。最初は結構揺れるのでドキドキですが最後の方は穏やかです。スタッフの方々が話しかけてくれるので旅行気分がかなり味わえます。
簡単な英語も話してくれるので現地で遊んでいる感覚が欲しい人にはオススメです。最後にサンセットはとても綺麗です。ちなみにちゃんと食事したい人はやめた方がいいかもしれません。軽食です。

a must do experience when visiting Hawaii. excellent staff. have already reccomended this to friends and family.

I experienced surfing for the first time in Hawaii! I had heard that the waves in Hawaii are beginner-friendly, so I thought if I was going to try it, it should be in Hawaii. I challenged myself with my brother and cousin! Besides us, there were also a Japanese parent-child pair and two groups from English-speaking countries, making a total of about 11 people.

The lesson was said to be in English, but the explanation on land was given by someone who could speak Japanese. I was able to understand the basics here. The final explanation before entering the sea was in English, but I understood it.

The trainer also spoke some simple Japanese! There were even some who could speak quite a bit of Japanese. At first, I was worried if I could do it, but once I got into the sea, I was amazed by the clarity of the water. And to my surprise, I was able to stand up on my first wave (laughs). Truly, it’s Hawaii! Truly, it’s the trainer! I had so much fun and challenged myself multiple times!

I think experiencing this in Hawaii was the right choice for me. I gained confidence from doing well, and I feel like I might get hooked on surfing! If I go to Hawaii again, I’ll definitely do it again!

初めてのサーフィンを、ハワイで体験しました！ハワイの波は初心者向けというのを昔聞いた事があったので、やるならハワイでと思っていました。弟と従姉妹と3人でチャレンジ！私達の他に日本人親子の方、
英語圏のグループの方が2組いて、全部で11人くらいいました。
英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、陸上での説明は日本語が話せる方がしてくれました。やり方など大体の事はここで理解出来ます。海に入る前の最終説明は英語でしたが、理解出来ました。
トレーナーさんも簡単な日本語で話してくれます！中には日本語が結構話せる方もいました。
最初は自分に出来るか不安でしたが、いざ海に入るとまず海の透明度に驚きました。そして初めての波乗りは、まさかの1発で立てました（笑）さすがハワイ！さすがトレーナーさん！と思いました。楽しくて何度も挑戦しました！
ハワイで体験した事が、私にとって正解だったと思います。上手く出来たことで自信がついたし、サーフィンにハマりそうです！またハワイに行ったらお願いします！

During the Obon holiday period, we were the only Japanese people there. The handsome staff member gave us instructions in Japanese, so we had no trouble at all.

They offered to take photos for $30, so we decided to go for it. They give you a CD right on the spot. There seemed to be a scratch on the lens, so every photo has a mark on it, but that's part of its charm. They even included some landscape photos.

The pictures are a bit monotonous since we're just flying, but only the staff can take photos of us up there (if you try to take turns in a group, you can only get tiny pictures since you can't stand up to take photos), so I thought $30 was a bit pricey, but I don't regret it at all☆

It felt really nice, so I want to go again.

I didn't experience the scary trolley that others mentioned; it was just normal driving.

お盆期間中でしたが日本人は私たちだけでした。
イケメンのスタッフさんが日本語で指示してくれたので、困ることはなかったです。

３０ドルで写真を撮ってくれるというので頼みました。
その場ですぐCDをくれます。
レンズに傷があったみたいで、どの写真にも傷がはいってますがそこは愛きょうですね
風景の写真までいれてくれてました

ただ飛んでるだけなので単調な写真ですが、上にいる私たちを撮影できるのはスタッフさんだけなので(グループでとりあいっこしても、立ちあがって撮影できないため豆粒みたいな写真しか撮れないと思います)３０ドルは高いなーと思いましたが後悔はしていません☆

とっても気持ちよかったので、また行きたいです

他の方が書かれているトロリーが怖かったっていうのは、なかったです
普通の運転でした

Great sailboat ride, what more can one say?
This is one ride you should not miss!

A little background: party was my wife and I, both 30 y/o. We attended this show with the green room and dinner package. The green room and backstage tour portion of the package was underwhelming and really quite boring. One note is that we took a souvenir picture with "Michael Jackson" which was given to us as part of the package as compared to others at the show who had to pay $25 for it. The tour consisted of us, two other couples, and someone who runs the show guiding us around backstage and sharing different behind the scenes info as well as showing us other bits of the production. After that it went to the dinner portion which was held in front of the stage for the hour preceding the show. The food included lobster first course, steak and fish second with veggies and mashed potatoes, then dessert and coffee, all wrapping up before the show started. The food was quite good, especially the steak (tenderloin if I remember correctly). The show, though a little corny, was quite good overall and definitely entertaining. I did not really care for the Lady Gaga portion but the Elvis and Michael Jackson was good overall as well as the fire dancer. One plus of the package was the seating given was right by the stage which gave a small opportunity for the performers to come down and interact with us (not much but a quick appearance) which made it nice when "Elvis" gave my wife his scarf. Overall the night itself was entertaining and the food was good, making the package worth what we paid.

It was the best experience to enjoy drinks on the boat, feeling the wind while surrendering to the pleasant music. I was more moved than I expected when we ventured further out and realized the vastness of the sea with the island behind us. My colleagues also loved this tour, and it seems like it will become a regular course for us from now on. I want to bring my family next time.

船の上でお酒が飲め、心地よい音楽に身を任せながら風を感じる...最高の体験でした。
思っていたより沖に進んだので、島を背にした時には海の広さを実感し、とても感動しました。
同僚達もこのツアーを気に入り、次回から定番のコースになりそうと盛り上がっていました。
私も今度は家族を連れて行きたいです。

I participated on the first day I arrived in Hawaii. They were inviting people to the Golden Circle seats in order of arrival, so if you want to be in the front row, it might be best to arrive early and line up. You could get food from the people at your table, but there was quite a time difference between the first person who went to the buffet and the last person. The finale of the show featured a breathtaking fire dance.

ハワイに着いた初日に参加させてもらいました。ゴールデンサークル席も、早く着いた人からどんどん席に招待してくれていたので、最前列がよければ早く行って並んでいたほうがいいかもしれません。料理は席の人から取りにいくことができたのですが、はじめにビュッフェに行った人と最後の人とでは、だいぶ時間差がありました。ショーの最後はファイヤーダンスで圧巻のダンスでした。

Everyone was very good at singing. I really enjoyed it. I went for my middle school daughter who loves both old and new Western music. There were many songs I knew. I felt it was a great deal to enjoy both rock and hula shows. The location is convenient, so I recommend it. As a Michael fan, I was of course satisfied, and even my husband, who wasn't that enthusiastic, was very pleased with the high quality of the songs and dances by Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, and later took a cheerful photo with Gaga. My sixth-grade son attended for free as part of a summer vacation program, and he said the intense hula dances and fire performances were really cool and very interesting. We reserved front row seats with drinks, so Elvis came over to shake hands with us. Other than that, it’s not a very large hall, so it seems like you could enjoy it from any seat.

みなさん歌が大変上手でした。とても楽しめました。新旧の洋楽の好きな中学生の娘のために行きました。知ってる曲ばかりです。ロックとフラのショーを両方楽しめるので得した気持ちです。場所も便利なのでお勧めです。マイケル好きの私はもちろん、そんなに乗り気でなかった主人もレディーガガさんや、マイケルジャクソンさんの歌とダンスの完成度のた高さに大満足して、後でガガさんとニコニコで写真を撮りました。小6の息子は今回無料の夏休み企画でしたが、本人はフラの激しいダンスや火を使うダンスがとてもカッコ良くて、すごく面白かったと言ってくれました。飲み物付きの一番前のシートを予約しましたので、プレスリーさんが握手にきてくれました。それをのぞけばそんなにおおきくないホールだから、どこの席でも楽しめそうです。

The crew on extreme parasailing were very nice. We Felt safe and had a very exciting trip. Highly recommend for a great view and excitement!

I made a reservation because I wanted to show it to my mother who does hula dancing. When I arrived early and stood in line, there were a lot of foreigners... Personally, I thought it was great because I want to find places in Hawaii that aren't crowded with Japanese people. Before the show started, there was a service where they would draw tattoos with a marker, and my 17-year-old daughter was thrilled to have it done by a super handsome dancer. I want to go again.

フラダンスをやっている母に見せたいと予約しました。
早めに着いて、並んでいると外国人の方がたくさん・・・
個人的にはハワイでもあまり日本人が集まるところじゃないところを探したいので、いいなと思っていました。
ショーが始まる前にタトウ―をマジックで書いてくれるサービスがあり、１７才の娘は超イケメンのダンサーに書いてもらいウキウキ。
また行きたいと思います。

My daughter & I did the snorkel turtle canyon tour ! The staff were absolutely fantastic ! Very caring & ensuring we were ok . Recommend to everyone ! Certainly worth the $ .

The van was very clean.
The seats were comfortable leather.
Since we only went to one other hotel besides ours, we were able to get to the airport quickly.
I would like to use it again next time.

バンとてもキレイでした。
席もレザーシートで快適です。
ホテルもうちの他には一箇所しか行かなかったので、すぐに空港に着くことが出来ました。
次回も利用したいと思います。

A small van for about 10 people arrived nearly 10 minutes late. The voucher mentioned to call the company if it was more than 10 minutes late, so I was starting to think I should make that call. I thought I was the last passenger, but we then went back to pick up a couple in the Waikiki area, and we arrived at the airport just 10 minutes before check-in closed. I was anxious since I knew the check-in closing time, but the other passengers (all foreigners) were cheerfully chatting away.

The driver also seemed a bit rushed while driving, so I think he was aware of the check-in closing time.

小さい10人乗りくらいのバンが10分弱遅れで来ました。
10分を過ぎたら会社に電話をしてくださいとバウチャーに書いてあったので、
そろそろ電話しないといけないかなと思っていたところでした。
私が最後の乗客かと思っていたのですが、そこから更にワイキキ方面にカップルを拾いに戻り、空港に着いたのはチェックインクローズの10分前でした。
私はチェックインクローズの時間を知っていたのでハラハラしましたが、他の乗客(皆さん外国人)は陽気に盛り上がっていました。

ドライバーさんも少し焦って運転している様子だったので、チェックインクローズの時間を知っていたのだと思います。

I participated in the first morning flight at 9:00. There was no wind, and the water surface was calm. Is the ocean in Waikiki really this beautiful? The color of the sea changes as you go further. I was able to see turtles while snorkeling—three of them, large, medium, and small. The sailing after snorkeling was also refreshing! I participate every time, and each time brings a different sense of wonder.

9:00発の朝一便で参加しました
風が無く水面も穏やか。ワイキキってこんなに海きれいだったけ？な程進むごとに海の色が変わります。スノーケルも亀ちゃんと見れます。大中小の3匹見れました。スノーケル後のセイリングも気持ちいい！！毎回参加してますが毎回違った感動があります

An awesome night had with great entertainment service an shiw

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).

Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.

When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.

Thank you very much.

ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ、プリンスホテル、イリカイなどは、送迎は不要です。潜水艦へ向かうボードは、ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ付近のビーチの桟橋から出てくるのを知らずでした。
送迎は、15分遅れでした。
で、延々とダウンタウンをお客様を乗せて、45分かかって、滞在先（お迎えのバスの乗場から歩いて5分くらい）に戻ってきました。
そうです。
桟橋は直ぐ裏のビーチでした。
知らなかったとはいえ、眠い朝の貴重な時間がもったいなかったです。
朝一のツアーでしたので、お客様全員が日本人でしたし、朝早いので空いててラッキーでした。
到着したときに確認しましたが、後から参加の方は、欧米人が多く、かなりぎゅうぎゅうのように見受けられました。潜水艦ツアーは想像通り良かったです。日系人の日本語で、5歳の子どもには少し早口だったかも。ですが、日本語で助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated via monitor, and I was absolutely thrilled! It seems that different stars perform on different days, but on the day I went, it was Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Lady Gaga. First, I was guided to the green room, where they served a green champagne in line with the theme, along with fruits, coconut chips, and salmon. The manager showed us the costume room and backstage, and then we headed to our seats☆

Our seats were right in the center, directly in front of the stage! Before the show, we enjoyed dinner. I ordered a Blue Hawaii first, and it was really delicious!!! The lobster was sweet and tasty, the main steak was tender and exquisite, and the salmon was large. The truffle mashed potatoes were also very delicious. The dessert, chocolate cake with macadamia nut ice cream, was delightful as the warm cake melted the ice cream, enhancing the sweetness—it was truly satisfying!

The show was of very high quality, especially Michael Jackson, who looked and sounded so much like the real deal. Since we were in the front row, we even got to shake hands with the stars as they came down from the stage, which was a lot of fun. Everyone sang incredibly well, and I think the quality of the show was quite high.

I believe it’s definitely worth choosing the green room, as sitting closer to the front makes the experience much more enjoyable!!!

モニターでの参加でしたが、大大大満足でした！
日によって出演するスターが違うみたいなのですが、私が行った日はマイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、レディーガガの3人でした。まず、グリーンルームに案内され、ウェルカムシャンパンでグリーンルームにちなんでグリーンのシャンパンがでてきて、他にもフルーツ、ココナッツチップスやサーモンなどをふるまわれます。支配人の方衣装部屋や舞台裏の案内をしてくれ、そのあと座席へ☆

座席は、ステージの目の前ど真ん中でした！
まずショーの前にディナーを頂きます。ブルーハワイをまず頼みましたが、かなり美味しかった！！！伊勢海老も甘くて美味しくて、メインのステーキもやわらかくて絶品でしたし、サーモンも大きく、トリュフ入りのマッシュポテトもとても美味しかったです。デザートのチョコレートケーキとマカデミアナッツアイスも、温かいケーキの上で溶けるアイスクリームは甘さが増して、ほんとに大満足の味でした！

ショーはかなり完成度が高く、とくにマイケルジャクソンは本物と本当にわからないくらい姿も声もにていました。
一番前の席だったのでステージからおりてきたスターと握手したりすることもできてとても楽しかったです。
歌はみなさんすごく上手く、ショーとしてのクオリティもかなり高かったと思います。

座席は前の方が絶対見ていて楽しいので、グリーンルームを選ぶ価値はあると思いました！！！

My wife has a fear of heights, so she just watched while my son and I took on the challenge. Since it was our first time, we chose the lowest course, but we were able to enjoy such a wonderful view that it made us laugh. The photos taken by the guide can be purchased on an SD card. If my wife had managed to take pictures, we wouldn't have needed to buy them, but the guide's photos were beautiful, so I recommend purchasing them even if they are a bit pricey.

嫁は高所恐怖症なので見てるだけ、息子とふたりで挑戦しました。初めてなので一番低いコースにしましたが、思わず笑ってしまうぐらいの素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。ガイドさんが撮影した写真はSDカードで購入することができます。嫁ががんばって撮影すれば購入の必要はなかったのですが、やはり撮り慣れているガイドさんの写真はきれいでしたので、少々お高くても購入をお勧めします。

We were a group of 7 and attended this event on the night of our arrival. The food was really good for a mass serving and the show was fantastic. It was, in fact, wheelchair accessible and all the folks we cam into contact with couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

I read other comments downplaying the fact that we were on top of a parking garage but that didn't detract from our enjoyment one bit!

We mistook the school location went other side of Waikiki beach. Veltra called us and school ban came to pick us up. We join the lesson about 30min late but everyone were nice and we had so much fun in the water!

A line forms in front of the "Rum Fire" at the Sheraton as the time approaches. You must be barefoot when getting on and off. For items that shouldn't get wet, there is a storage space under the middle seat with a lid. You will be scolded if you lie down on the net. It was fine to dangle your feet, though. Still, it feels nice. I didn't see any dolphins, but there was a sea turtle right after we departed. The view is great, and I think watching the raising and lowering of the sails is also a highlight.

シェラトンの「ラムファイヤー」の前に、時間が近くなると列ができます。
乗り降りのときは必ず裸足になります。
濡れたら困る荷物は、中央座席の下に蓋の閉まる荷物置きがあります。
ネットの上に寝転がると叱られます。足をブラブラさせる位なら平気でした。それでも気持ちいいです。
イルカは見られませんでしたが、出発してすぐにウミガメがいました。
眺めもいいし、帆の上げ下ろしの様子なども見どころだと思います。

I took my mum to see this show we did the VIP dinner we had a fantastic time and I would recommend this show. I can't speak highly enough of our service people they bent over backwards for us absolutely loved the show what a great night.

Hiking to Diamond Head's top is a must! Great views, and great feeling of accomplishment. Don't forget to buy a certificate at the top!

I was completely surprised that both my kids were able to surf on the first class. They enjoyed it so much they (the kids) insisted on another session. Their teachers were so good the kids were interested in learning more!!! a big shout out to Travis, Tim and Adam. These young men are wonderful teachers and it was an honor to meet them. Hardworking, talented and yet so humble and compassionate to their culture and environment. It was a wonderful experience! I also want to say the office staff were also very nice. This picture is my son and his teacher Travis on the first session.

A car was waiting for us at the hotel at the meeting time! The person in charge of the shuttle was Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent. He was a very interesting person, speaking a mix of English and broken Japanese!

He had a round sticker and something like a paper band on his right arm, and after confirming the contents of the contract (which were all written in Japanese), we signed.

My friend and I requested a 9 AM pickup, and along with a Japanese family of three and a mother and child from New York, there were a total of seven of us.

When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, the waves were really strong, and it was shaking a lot. I usually don't get motion sickness, but it was a good decision to take some anti-nausea medication!

We were called one group at a time, and it was finally time to start! Our group and the Japanese family were worried about the height, which was 45 meters. The mother and child from New York challenged the 120 meters. The view was amazing, and I felt so happy surrounded by the beautiful sky and sea!

Next time, I want to challenge either the 90 meters or 120 meters.

On the way back, Mr. Yano and I had a lively chat! It seems there are other people in charge of the shuttle as well, so those who got Mr. Yano were lucky!

待ち合わせ時間にホテルにお迎えの車が！
送迎を担当してくれたのは、日系のやのさん。この方は、英語と片言の日本語混じりで話しかけてくる、とてもおもしろい方‼︎
右手に丸いシールと紙バンドのような物を腕につけ、契約書の内容(全て日本語で記載されてます)を確認後サインをします。

私と友だちは9時からを希望し、日本人の家族3人とニューヨークから来た親子2人と私たち、合わせて7人でした。

港に着き、船に乗ると波がスゴく、とにかく揺れます。普段乗り物酔いしませんが、酔い止めを飲んでおいて正解でした‼︎

1組ずつ呼ばれて、いざスタート！
私たちのグループと日本人の3人家族は、高さがどのくらいなのか心配だったので、45m。
ニューヨークから来た親子は120mに挑戦。
とても眺めも良いし、キレイな空と海に囲まれ幸せでした‼︎

次回は90mか120mに挑戦したいです。

帰りもやのさんとマシンガントーク炸裂笑
やのさん以外の方の送迎もあるようで、やのさんに当たった方は、ラッキーですね‼︎

The view from above was breathtaking, and the wind felt great! Both crew members were really handsome (laughs). It was so much fun being dropped into the sea while they said things like, "Shark bait!" and having the rope shaken!

空の上から見る景色は絶景で、風も気持ちが良かったー！
クルーの方は二人とも、めっちゃイケメンでした(笑)
「サメノエサ〜」とか言って海に落とされたり、ロープを揺らされたり、本当に楽しかった(≧∇≦)

My first flight was awesome.
I wanna do it again at next trip.

The two women in their forties were very satisfied with the delicious champagne they enjoyed in the green room (＾－＾). While savoring pinchos, they had a blissful time when, surprisingly, Presley came to visit, and they took a commemorative photo, making their luxurious time fly by!(^^)!

Next, they were guided backstage. The explanations were in English, but they spoke slowly, making it easy to understand. They explained the stage equipment and props, and they even took a commemorative photo wearing part of the costumes used in the hula—what a great experience!

The meal included lobster, steak, and salmon, and the portions were ample (＾ｕ＾). They didn't have high expectations for the taste, but everything was delicious☆ They finished the wine they had reserved in advance, and the women in their forties were soon overcome by sleepiness, but the show started right away (*^_^*). Sitting in the center of the front row, they were mesmerized by the performances of Presley, Gaga, and Michael. The hula and fire dance were also wonderful, and they were captivated. After the show, there was a photo opportunity with the stars and cast, and of course, they lined up for a snapshot★

It was a fun time in Hawaii! Several colleagues are traveling to Hawaii this summer, so I recommended this tour to them.

グリーンルームで頂いたシャンパンのおいしさにアラフォー女子二人は大満足（＾－＾）ピンチョスを頂きながら至福の時を過ごしていると、な・ん・と・プレスリーが訪問してくれ記念写真を撮り贅沢な時間はあっという間に終了!(^^)!
次は舞台裏を案内していただきました。説明は英語ですがゆっくり言ってくれるのでわかりやすかったです。舞台装置の説明や道具を説明してくれ、フラで使用する衣装の一部をつけて記念写真を撮ったり、いい体験でした！
食事はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームは十分（＾ｕ＾）味は期待していなかったけど、すべておいしかったです☆事前に予約したワインも飲み干し出来上がったアラフォーは睡魔に襲われましたがすぐにショーが始まりました(*^_^*)最前列の真ん中でプレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのパフォーマンスにうっとり。フラやファイヤーダンスも素敵で見入ってました。ショーが終わるとスターやキャストとの写真撮影があり勿論列にならんでパチリ★
ハワイでの楽しい時間となりました！今年の夏休みはハワイ旅行をする同僚が数人いるのでこのツアーをおすすめしました。

We had a fantastic time...beautiful scenery and great guides (Jake and McCuddy (spelling?)). Swam with the fish and a bunch of turtles and got great pics. Too bad my husband and I got sick after the snorkeling adventure. It had nothing to do with them, I guess we're just not cut out for boating, but they guides were great and took it all in stride. We did our best to still enjoy the ride back. Thanks for a great morning!
