All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

Loved the trip. Our driver Chris was very knowledgable and funny. Food was great and time allotted for each site was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour.

I had a great time, over the clouds and under the stars. This is a must see in Hawaii.

The food was a big surprise. Fantastic! Way above what we expected. In addition to that, the glorious scenery, and the perfect sunset, we saw dolphins and whales. The staff was excellent, including our local Hawaiian musician Bula, and our very knowledgeable Hawaiian historian Mikaila. Highly recommended!

The event started at 17:30, but I lined up for the general seating from 17:00 and was able to be shown to a seat quite far forward. The children's buffet was ready to eat right away, so I had my child go get some, and I enjoyed it as a snack. The main buffet was delicious as well. I got a bit sleepy during the middle of the show, but the fire performances were impressive.

17:30開始ですが17:00からジェネラル席の列に並んで待ったところ、だいぶ前の席を案内してもらえました。
子供用のビュッフェはすぐに食べられるので子供に取りに行ってもらって、
つまみがわりにいただきました。メインビュッフェもどれも美味しかったです。
ショーは中盤眠くなりましたがファイア系は迫力ありますね。

I am always Leary of organized tours but this one was an exception. Our guide Nick was exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, and well taken care of. He has done his homework and knows the history and the island well, showing us a lot of extra things along the way such as plants, historical notes etc. it was a long day but we enjoyed every minute and would recommend to anyone.

Best guided tour by far. Very professional-able to anticipate your needs and provided things you didn't even know you needed. Chris- the owner, and our guide for the night- was fantastic. His enthusiasm was contagious. Great company, great tour. Do it!

When I checked the meeting place on Google Maps, it ended up being along H1, so I confirmed it at the hotel front desk and headed there cautiously. First, we drove to check the parking and location, and in the end, we walked from the Sheraton where we were staying to Keauhou Bay. It was about the size of a private beach, and we could easily reach it from the opposite side.

It was our first time kayaking, and as expected, we didn't make much progress at first, but the weather was really nice that day, and we were able to reach the cave safely! As mentioned in other comments, it's better to have sandals that won't come off or trekking shoes. Depending on the weather, there may be times when you can't reach the land, so it's best to bring them just in case. We only had beach sandals, but the guide said, "They float in water, so if you drop them, you can just pick them up, so it's not a problem."

I recommend getting a waterproof disposable camera sold on-site, as it allows you to take photos without worry. Also, my husband only got sunburned on the inside of his feet. It's best to be fully prepared for sun protection.

集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました！
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。

We had a great time on the morning whale watching cruise. The catamaran was large and comfortable. The crew was extremely knowledgeable. We saw a few whales and happened upon one bottle nose dolphin.

From the top of Mauna Kea you truly see forever. However, be prepared! At these heights it is also breath taking... that is, there is less air up there!! The guides were great and prepared you for the trip in every way. The dinner was good and the star gazing after coming half way back down was amazing.

It was great to see the expansive views of the entire Big Island of Hawaii, the volcanic craters with visible lava, and the waterfalls in the valleys, as well as swimming whales.

広々としたハワイ島全体の景色や溶岩が見える火山口や滝が流れる渓谷のほか、泳ぐクジラも見れてよかったです

I participated with my husband’s father and another person. Although it was far away, I was very moved to see the whales jumping. I hope to observe them from a closer distance next time.

主人の父と3人で参加しました。
遠くでしたがクジラのジャンプも見れとても感動しました。
次回はもっと近くで観察できたらと思います。

The photo service was supposed to be included, but it was not reflected in the organizer's list, and I was asked to pay for the photos.

The parking ticket is paid at the end when exiting, but please note that the payment method is only by credit card.

The show was very nice and had a great atmosphere by the sea.

Photo service がincluded のはずなのに、主催者側のリストに反映されておらず、写真代を要求されました。

駐車券は最後に出庫時に払いますが、支払方法はクレジットカードのみでしたので注意が必要です。

ショーは、とても素敵で海の側で雰囲気もありました。

Fun filled 3 hour cruise. Great food, music, and tour. The crew were all exceptional. Within 3 minutes of leaving the dock the crew had already located 2 whales we could watch. Right before dinner, they located a manta ray as well. The crew also found another whale on the ride home. Great time and very family friendly.

I was able to catch a glimpse of it three times from a distance. However, it was too far away to capture in a photo, and it was just for a moment. Still, I enjoyed the cruise. The staff couldn't speak any Japanese, but they were very friendly. Later, during the dolphin watching in Oahu, I was lucky enough to see whales up close several times, which was great.

遠くにチラッと3回ほど確認できました。
ただ写真には収まらない程の遠くで一瞬でした。
ただ、クルーズとして楽しめました。
スタッフの皆さんは一切日本語が喋れませんがとてもフレンドリーでした。
この後のオアフ島で参加したイルカウォッチングで偶然に何度もクジラを近くで見れたので良かったです。

This was a great time and we can't wait to do it again! We were all able to stand up on our surf boards because of their great teaching, and we loved being in the water with the instructors. Very kind staff! The lesson on the land was a little long and repetitive, but very worth it for the water time. Jake and Tiffany were the best instructor!

I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.

いろいろなルアウショーを体験しましたが、ここのルアウショーはちょっと寂しかったです。間延びした構成で、フラの合間のバンド演奏が多かった。食事は６０点。途中で帰ったので、もしかしたら後半で盛り上がったのかもしれないですね。

I was able to swim right next to dolphins and manta rays! I even got to see a whale, which was an incredible joy. The Japanese staff were amazing too! I'm really glad I participated.

イルカやマンタのすぐそばで泳げました！クジラまで見る事が出来てこの上ない幸せでした。日本人スタッフも最高〜〜！本当に参加して良かったです。

I chose the course at Cahuilla Ranch because I wanted to ride freely in a spacious area, and it was a great decision. Perhaps because it was the off-season, we unexpectedly had a private tour with just the instructor and my husband and me. Under the guidance of a beautiful and slender instructor, we strolled through the vast ranch, controlling the horse ourselves instead of being led. Everything was in English, but she explained everything very slowly and carefully, and she repeated important points multiple times, so I had no worries at all. The horses are very well-trained, almost smarter than humans. The attending instructor ensures customer safety while allowing us to ride quite freely according to our wishes and skill levels, so if you have some riding experience, you can have the best experience in this vast ranch with its elevation changes. There is no pick-up service, but it's easy to find if you go by rental car, as it's not a confusing location and there are signs. The prices are reasonable, and I highly recommend it as an optional tour.

広い場所で、自由に乗馬したかったので、こちらのカフア牧場のコースを選択しましたが大正解でした。オフシーズンのためか、期せずしてインストラクターと私達夫婦というプライベートツアーに。美人でスレンダーなインストラクターの指導のもと、引き馬ではなく、自分で馬をコントロールしながら広大な牧場をお散歩。全て英語ですが、とてもゆっくり、丁寧に説明してくれるし、重要なことは同じことを何度も言ってくれるので全く不安はありませんでした。馬はとてもよく調教されており、人間より賢いくらい。アテンドするインストラクターは顧客の安全に万全を期してくれる一方、こちらの希望やレベルに合わせかなり自由に乗らせてくれるので、少し乗馬経験のある方なら広大で高低差のある牧場で、最高の経験ができます。送迎はありませんが、レンタカーで行けば迷う場所ではなく、看板もありわかりやすいです。料金も安く、オプショナルツアーとして最高にお勧めできます。

What a great day! Pros: The crew was friendly and helpful, the lunch was tasty and we saw a ton of fish. Our 5 year old had an amazing first snorkeling tour. The slide was a hit!
Cons : we didn't see any Dolphins or turtles but body glove can't control that.

On our first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, we went there on the night we arrived. It was a buffet-style all-you-can-eat and drink, so even with our limited English, we were able to enjoy the meal and the show without any stress!

初めてハワイ島旅行で、到着した夜に行きました。ビュッフェスタイルの飲み放題食べ放題だったので、英語が出来ない私たちでもストレスなく食事とショーが楽しめました♪

Fortunately, we spotted a humpback whale right after leaving the harbor! And then, it jumped right in front of us! Both the guide and we were super excited.

Previously, I participated in a dolphin tour on Oahu, so this time I chose to see manta rays, which I had never seen before.

The crew was incredibly kind, and it was very reassuring to have staff who could speak Japanese.

We hopped on the boat and headed to the manta point!

During the ride, the sunset visible from the boat was stunning and moving. I tend to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication from the start, which allowed me to enjoy the trip.

I was splashed with water, and my excitement was at its peak!

Upon arriving at the spot, I held onto the rope attached to the surfboard and waited for the manta rays to come close. It was a bit cold in the water during that time, but the guide checked on me several times, asking if I was okay.

When I actually saw the manta rays, the impact was incredible, and I was very moved. They were so close that I was really worried about accidentally touching them, but I was desperate to take photos.

On the way back, we were treated to hot chocolate and snacks, and there was a rather bitter ginger treat, which made me happy. This ginger was really delicious!

Since the wetsuits were wet on the way back, a bath towel is absolutely essential.

I spent a precious and happy time gazing at the beautiful starry sky over the dark sea.

ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、ザトウクジラを発見！！
そして目の前での大ジャンプ！
ガイドさんも私達も大興奮でした。

以前は、イルカのツアーをオアフ島で参加したので、今回は見たことがないマンタにしました。

クルーの方もすごく優しい事、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃる事がとても安心でした。

マンタのポイントまで、船に乗って、GO！

その際に、船から見える夕陽は、とても綺麗で感動しました。
私は船酔いが酷いので最初から酔い止めを飲んでおいたので楽しく
移動が出来ました。

水しぶきも浴び私のテンションはMAX！

スポットへ到着してサーフボードに付いてる紐を持って、ひたすらマンタが近寄ってくるのを待つ感じでした。
その間は水の中で少し寒かったのですが、ガイドさんが大丈夫？と何度も声をかけてくれました。

実際マンタを見ると、迫力がすごくて、とても感動しました。
とにかく近いので触れてしまわないかとてもとても心配でしたが私は写真を撮る事に必死でした。

帰りには、ホットチョコレートと、スナック、かなり苦いですがジンジャーの差し入れがあり、嬉しかったです。
このジンジャーがかなり美味しかった！

帰りはウェットスーツも濡れてるのでバスタオルは絶対必須です。

真っ暗な海を綺麗な星空を見ながら幸せな貴重な時間を過ごさせていただきました。

Since we went with a plan to meet at the location, I was worried about whether I would easily find the meeting spot, but once I got there, it was very clear. The staff was waiting for us even before the meeting time, which made me feel relieved.

There were only the two of us participating in the tour, so we were able to enjoy ourselves freely. We quickly spotted dolphins and were able to see many of them, which made us very satisfied. Above all, I could feel the staff's love for dolphins. If I had to mention one thing, I regret forgetting to take photos.

Since it was just the two of us, it was helpful that they adjusted the return time for us.

I think we had a wonderful way to spend our time! Thank you very much!

本当にありがとうございました！

Our group of 6 people had a great time zipping thru the trees . the 2 guides were very knowledgeable and always safety conscious.

all members of are group, which their 6 of us, had a great time. It was exciting to see a whale breach the water and wave her fin seeming to say hi.

We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

We did the Circle Island Tour, small group tour which was fantastic. I cannot say enough about this tour. It was approx. 11.5 hours but the day flew by. Our driver Kevin was amazing and informed us about everything. It was a maximum 12 people which made it very enjoyable. Our lunch break we stopped at an Orchid shop and our driver had picked us up Bento Boxes, it was delicious. We saw everything from waterfalls, rain forest, black sand beach, lava tubes, lava fields, and volcanoes and so much more. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Well worth the money.
Thank you for the great tour.

Great trip. Unfortunately the summit was closed due to high winds when we reached visitor center. Our guide, Joe was great. He took us on a hike to see the sunset which was amazing and then to an area where he set up a huge telescope for star gazing. He was very knowledgeable and made what could have been a disappointing trip into a great one. We had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend it. Good good too!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to detail. Viewing the volcano in the light and then at night was awesome. The restaurant was so cozy and had great food. Afterwards we hiked thru a fern forest to a lava tube. Amazing!

Our guide, Hank, made the tour worth every penny. Not only was he totally organized and pleasant, his knowledge sharing was priceless. Geology, geography, astronomy, Hawaiian culture, history: so interesting! Thank you for a great day!

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.

I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.
