All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.

I couldn't book an hour of horseback riding, so I arranged for two hours instead. I recommend making arrangements early. In the end, two hours of riding was the right choice. It felt like the time flew by, and I found it a bit unsatisfying. It seems that the horse's temperament can affect the pace, sometimes being slow or well-behaved. I was a bit flustered when the horse trotted uphill, but it walks slowly. It might not be enough for those who are experienced riders. Be prepared for some soreness afterward.

1時間乗馬が取れなくて2時間乗馬を手配。早めに手配されることをお勧めします。
結果2時間乗馬で正解でした。あっという間の2時間で物足りなさを感じました。馬の性格？などで遅かったり行儀がよかったりがあるようです。登坂で小走りされたときは少し慌てましたが、ゆっくりと歩きます。乗り慣れている人には物足らないかも。降りた後はお尻が痛くなるので覚悟が必要。

I joined a tour because I wanted to enjoy Hawaii's nature while riding a horse by myself. The two-hour tour went by in no time, and I had a lot of fun.

**Transportation**
Since I was traveling alone, I requested the tour's transportation service. The schedule was set, so moving around was easy. It took about 50 minutes from Honolulu one way. There are no breaks along the way, so it's best to use the restroom beforehand.

**Check-in**
When I arrived, I was told to wait on a bench, and then a local staff member who spoke Japanese came over to explain things and handed out the tour papers. The area isn’t very large, so I don’t think you’ll get lost. If you're going horseback riding, you can't bring bags that go over your shoulder, so I stored my belongings in a locker for $5 a day. A waist pouch type is okay during the ride. They lend you a small bag specifically for horseback riding, so I brought my smartphone and water.

**Two-Hour Horseback Riding Tour**
After checking in for horseback riding, I weighed in and signed a waiver. Then, I received instructions via video. The staff asked which language I preferred, so I chose Japanese! Finally, it was time to ride. The horses looked quite big up close! I was a bit worried about being able to control them, but since they are well-trained, they moved forward when I wanted them to and stopped when I wanted them to, so I hardly had to do anything. The horses remember the path, so I just had to follow along. The horse at the front kept stopping and not listening, so the guide was urging it along.

The weather was a bit bad that day, but when the clouds cleared, I could see blue skies and the scenery from the Jurassic Park movie, which was great! The guide was a local and didn’t seem to speak Japanese, but they used simple Japanese for instructions. When the horse at the front stopped and wouldn’t move, they said, “Kick your feet!” Since everyone in the group was Japanese, there wasn’t much explanation from the guide about the locations, and we all just enjoyed the scenery at a leisurely pace.

**Lunch & Shopping**
The two-hour tour ended around 11:30. The bus gathering time was at 12:45, so I had a little time to relax. The shop was small, so there weren’t many menu items, but they sold hot dogs and snacks. There were also souvenirs that could only be found in Croatia, which was fun to look at.

**Conclusion**
We got back on the bus, which took us back to the meeting point from the morning. We disbanded at 13:50. I might have felt it was a bit short if it had only been one hour, so I’m glad I chose the two-hour tour. Since we moved in a group of about five people, if the horse at the front stops, we can’t move forward, so if there are many stops, you might think, “It stops a lot.” But I guess that’s just how the horses feel, so it can’t be helped! Overall, I had a great time on this horseback riding tour, which is something you can’t easily do in Japan! The horses were smart and adorable! ♡

1人で馬に乗ってハワイの自然を満喫したいと思ってツアーに参加しました。
2時間のツアーでしたがあっという間でとても楽しめました

送迎
一人旅だったので、ツアーの送迎付きを頼みました。時間も決められているので移動は楽でした。
ホノルルから片道50分くらい。途中休憩は無いのでトイレは済ませてた方がいいです。

受付
着いたら一旦ベンチにかけといてーと言われ待ってたら「日本語での説明がいる方はこちらへ〜」と日本語が話せる現地スタッフが説明をしてくれて参加ツアーの紙を配ってくれました。敷地内はそれほど広くはないので、迷うことはないと思います。
乗馬をする場合は肩掛けするバックなどは持っていけないので、ロッカーに荷物を預けました。1日5ドル。腰にまけるポシェットタイプなら乗馬中もOK。乗馬専用の小さい袋を貸してくれるのでスマホや水は持っていきました。

2時間乗馬ツアー
乗馬の受付を済ませて、体重測定&誓約書？に署名。その後ビデオで乗馬の説明を受けます。どの言語がいい？ってスタッフさんが聞いてくれるので日本語を選択！いよいよ乗馬です。
まじかで見る馬はけっこう大きかったです！
ちゃんと操作できるかなーと、思ってたのですがきちんと訓練を受けているので前が進んだら進むし止まったら止まってくれるのでほぼ操作はいりませんでした笑
道も馬が覚えているので、ついて行くだけでOK
先頭の人の馬が、ちょくちょく止まって言うことをきいていなかったのでガイドさんに急かされてました笑

この日は天気がちょっと悪かったのですが、雲が切れたら青空もみえてジュラシックパークの映画でみた景色が見れて良かったです！
ガイドさんは現地の方だったので、日本語は喋れないみたいでしたが、指示する上で簡単な日本語は話してました。先頭の馬が止まって動かなくなったから「足蹴ってー」って指示出ししてました。
この日は全員日本人だったので特にガイドさんから場所などの解説はなくみんなゆったり景色を眺めながら歩くって感じでした。

ランチ&ショッピング
2時間ツアーが終わったのが11:30頃。バスの集合時間が12:45なので少しゆっくりでします。
お店が小さいので、あまりメニューはありませんがホットドッグやスナックとか売ってました。
お土産もクロアチアランチにしかない物もあって見ていて楽しかったです。

おわりに
バスに乗り込み、朝集合した場所まで送ってくれます。13:50解散。
1時間だけだと物足りなかったかもなので2時間ツアーにして良かったです。
5人くらいのグループで進むので、先頭が止まっちゃうと進めなくなっちゃうので止まる回数が多くなっちゃうと「よく止まるなー」って思っちゃうかもです馬の気分もあるとも思うのでそこは仕方がないかもですが笑
でも、日本ではなかなかできない乗馬ツアーですごく楽しめました！馬も賢く可愛かったです♡

I had a truly valuable experience! The instructor was very kind and guided us with safety in mind. Although the water was cold since we started at 5 AM, I had reserved a wetsuit in advance, so I was fine during the long snorkeling session. On the day of participation, there was little wind, and I was able to see four sea turtles up close! Additionally, I was able to see many marine creatures that can only be found in Hanauma Bay, which was truly moving.

If I were to mention one point of caution, those with weak vestibular systems may be more prone to seasickness. I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication beforehand! I personally have a weak constitution and took Dramamine before participating, but I still experienced significant seasickness.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you very much to the instructors!

とても貴重な体験ができました！
インストラクターさんはとても優しく、安全に配慮しながら案内をしてくださいました。
朝5時からの参加で水は冷たかったのですが、スイムスーツを事前に予約し、お借りしたので、長時間のシュノーケリングでも大丈夫でした。
参加日当日は風が少なく、ウミガメを4匹も間近で見ることができました！その他にも、ハナウマ湾でしか見ることのできない海の生物をたくさん見ることができて、本当に感動しました。
1点のみ注意点を挙げるとするならば、三半規管の弱い方は波酔いの可能性が高いです。強めの酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをオススメします！！私は元々弱い方で、トラベ◯ミンを飲んでから参加しましたがガッツリ波酔いしました。
総合的には一生の思い出に残る経験ができました。インストラクターの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

Despite the weak yen... the quality was so good that I thought it was cheap! With this content at this price, it's the best!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.
It all started with receiving a lei around my neck, and I enjoyed the food while watching the dances and songs✨. Finally, I got to enjoy a fantastic show right in front of the stage, almost within reach✨.
I struggled with English and participated alone, but I had a great time. I think I could have enjoyed it 1.5 times more if I understood English better!
I want to study English a bit more and participate again.

円安ですが…安い！！っと思うくらいのクオリティでした！この内容でこの価格！最高です
初めてのハワイでしたが大満足です
まずレイを首にかけてもらうところから始まり、踊りや歌を楽しみながらお料理を✨そして最後に手が届きそうなほどステージの真ん前から本格的なショーを堪能✨
英語が苦手&１人での参加でしたが、十分楽しめました英語がもっと分かればさらに1.5倍は楽しめたと思います！
英語もう少し勉強してまた参加したいです

I was a bit unsure about swimming since it was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to learn without any problems. There was a large moray eel, and the underwater world was a wonderful experience. I was so moved and swam with enthusiasm, and just when I started to feel a bit tired, the tour wrapped up nicely. I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. The guide was kind and relaxed, not pushing us to be overly energetic, which made for a pleasant experience. Thank you very much.

初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎもそんなに自信ない感じでしたが、問題なく習得できました。大きなウツボもいて、初めての海の中の世界は素晴らしい体験でした。感動して夢中で泳いで、少し疲れてきたかな？と気づいたころに丁度一周がおわり、そんなに体力ない方でも楽しめると思います。ガイドさんも、無理にテンション上げさせる感じでなく、親切でリラックスした感じの方で気持ちよく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

My 9-year-old grandson was very satisfied; it was an emotional experience that you can only understand by seeing it with your own eyes, like a scene from a movie.

The dirt at UTA is the best, but wearing white pants is a no-go. Disposable towels and wet wipes are essential.

There are local sales, but it's better to have a 100-yen store raincoat for rain protection (laughs).

9歳の孫も大満足、映画の1シーンだったり自分の目で見なくては、分からない感激しました。

UTA 土ほこりは、最高で長ズボン、白色は禁物
処分出来るタオル、ウエットティッシュは必須です。

現地販売が有りますが、雨対策に100均カッパあった方が良いですね　(苦笑)

The only con about this activity is I did find it on the expensive end. The total time spent up in the sky is quite short - about 5 min.

The staff were friendly and the activity itself was enjoyable.

I participated because I wanted to see the fire dance and hula dance. The theater was very well constructed. Dancers and a famous local singer appeared, and it was very exciting from the start. Around the middle, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson came out, and they danced to their famous songs with the dancers, which was really thrilling! The show itself lasts about an hour and a half, so it might be a good idea to use the restroom beforehand. I definitely want to see it again when I go to Hawaii!

ファイヤーダンスとフラダンスが見たくて参加しました。劇場もすごくしっかりとした作りでした。ダンサーと地元の有名な歌手？が登場し、最初からとても盛り上がりました。中盤くらいから、エルビスやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが登場し、それぞれの有名な曲に合わせてダンサーさんと踊っててとても盛り上がれました！！劇場自体1時間半くらいあるので、最初に御手洗を済ませた方がいいかもしれません。またハワイに行ったら是非見に行きたいです！

Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.

シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました！船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです！ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。

Since I visited in early November, there were few users and almost no waiting time. There were some attractions that were closed from the start (like the lazy river) and activities that closed early. There were slides that you can't experience in Japan, and both my kids and I had a great time.

11月上旬に行ったので利用者が少なく待ち時間がほとんどなかったです。最初からクローズになっているもの（流れるプール）やクローズになる時間が早いアクティビティもありました。日本では体験できないようなスライダーがあって子供達も私も楽しむことができました。

Before the show, the meal was plentiful. During dinner, the staff performed dances, Hawaiian songs, and took requests for songs while we enjoyed cocktails. Moving to the venue, the seating had a tiered arrangement, making it very easy to see.

As the show began, there were hula dances, rock dances, and fire dances, all flowing beautifully with great singing. Listening to nostalgic songs from the '80s, there was also a Michael Jackson impersonator whose dancing was amazing, and before we knew it, the time flew by to the end. It was wonderful to see this show in Waikiki, and I would love to see an Elvis performance next time.

ショーの前、食事タイムボリューム満点です。
食事どきからスタッフによるダンス、ハワイアンソング、カクテルを飲んで歌のリクエスト。
会場へ移動、席は段差があってとても見やすい。
ショーが始まりフラダンス、ロックダンス、ファイヤーダンス、とても流れが良く歌もうまい。
80sの懐かし歌を聴き、またマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん、ダンス最高で時間もあっという間にラスト。ワイキキでこのショーが見られとても良かった、今度はプレスリーも見たいな。

The horses were very well trained, and even at 70 years old, I enjoyed it. The horseback riding course with views of the mountain scenery and the deep blue sea was great!

馬も大変良く調教されていて70歳の私でも楽しめました。
また、山の風景と真っ青の海を見ながらの乗馬コース良かった⤴️

Instructor Dan pulled me along, even though I'm not a good swimmer. I felt very safe and was able to go far out, and I got to see sea turtles up close. Since it was a small group, I could take my time watching the sea turtles, and it was the first time I felt so relaxed while snorkeling. It truly was the best memory!

インストラクターのDANさんが
カナヅチの私を引っ張ってくれ
とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。
少人数なので

あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは

本当に最高の思い出です！

I had never tried parasailing before, and I was a bit anxious, but once I experienced it, it was over in no time, leaving only the joy of a wonderful experience. The view from 150 meters above was fantastic, especially with the good weather. There seems to be a weight limit, but it was great that three adults could ride together. Thank you very much.

パラセーリングは一度もやったことが無くて、少し不安もありましたが、体験してみればあっという間に終わって、楽しさだけが残る素敵な経験をしました。１５０メートルの上空の見晴らしは、天気も良くて、最高の景色でした。体重制限もあるようですが、大人３人一緒に乗れて良かったです。ありがとうございました。

This was my nth time in Hawaii, and I participated as a monitor. The buffet mainly featured pork, and there weren't many seafood options like poke. There were English speakers participating as well, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the Japanese attendees were being prioritized less. The show featured live singing and live music! I was surprised by the chubby Michael, who sounded similar (laughs). Rather than traditional hula dancing and fire shows, it was more of a mix with rock, so it might not be suitable for those who want to enjoy something more authentic and relaxed.

ハワイ何度目かでモニター参加しました。
バイキングは豚肉中心で、ポキなどの魚介系はあまりありませんでした。
英語圏の方も参加していたのですが、どうしても日本人は後回しにされている感じが否めなかったです。
ショーは生歌で生演奏でした！
声は似てるけれど太ったマイケルには驚きました（笑）
本格的なフラダンスやファイアーショーというよりも、ロックと掛け合わせなので、本格的なものをゆったり楽しみたい人には向かないかもしれないです。

I had an amazing time! However, a couple of things to note: there is more dust than I expected, so it's a good idea to consider your clothing and bags. They will get dirty. It seems there are lockers available, so it might be wise to store anything that could get dirty.

Also, the buggies are designed for American specifications, so the accelerator is positioned quite far back, which can be tough for shorter people. My wife drove at first but stopped partway through. Additionally, the seatbelt is very stiff and makes it difficult to drive. I had to loosen it several times while driving.

If you keep these points in mind, it was truly enjoyable, and the views were fantastic.

最高に楽しかったです！
ちょっと注意点ですが、想像以上に砂埃があるので服装やバックは考えた方がいいです。汚れます。ロッカーもあるみたいなので汚れて困るものは預けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと、バギーははアメリカ仕様のためか、アクセルが奥にあって身長が低い人はかなり辛いと思います。私の妻は最初運転しましたが、途中からやめました。また、シートベルトはとても硬くて運転しにくいです。何度も緩めて運転しました。
この点を注意してもらえれば本当に楽しかったですし、最高の景色でした。

Overall good experience, enjoyed venue , service and hawaiian dances Everyone seems to be in cheerful mood and in moments. As we are vegetarian- food was ok for us . Didn’t like patty prepared for us from Soya . I will recommend overall as memorable experience.

I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.

このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。

Driving a four-wheeler on the mountainous trails with elevation changes in the great outdoors, kicking up dust and splashing water, was an amazing experience! I didn't understand any English, but it was totally fine! I'm glad I took on the challenge.

大自然の中、、高低差の山道を四輪バギーで走行し、砂ぼこりと、水しぶきをあげながらの体験は、最高でしたー！！英語が全くわからなかったけど、全然大丈夫！チャレンジしてよかった

It was an enjoyable leisure pool that was quite family-friendly! While there wasn't anything particularly amazing, there were various slides, and I think spending about 2 to 3 hours there is just right!
Parking was around $20, and the lockers inside the park were about $10.
The slide boats are free, but they are reused, so be sure to grab one from someone at the slide exit.

子供連れが多い普通に楽しいレジャープールでした！特別すごい何かってわけではないけど色んなスライダーとかあって、コンテンツとしては2、3時間行くぐらいがちょうど良いかと！
駐車場は20ドル、園内のロッカーは10ドルぐらいだったかと！
スライダーのボートは無料ですが使い回しなので、スライダー降り口で誰かのもらいましょう。

This definitely feels like a movie set, given its scale. However, when riding the buggy, make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or even throwing away! You'll get covered in a ton of dust and mud, so it's definitely better to change afterward! Honestly, I underestimated it. You’ll get covered in dust that is impossible to completely shake off! Once you accept that it's okay to get dirty, the best buggy experience begins!

こりゃぁ映画のロケ地になるわな、という規模感
ただし、バギーに乗る際は汚れても捨ててもいい服で！めちゃくちゃ砂埃と泥被るので着替えた方が絶対いいです！！正直なめてました。まず全て落とすことは不可能な砂埃をかぶります！
汚れてもいいやと開き直ったら、最高のバギー体験の幕開けです！！

It might be surprisingly unknown, but visiting allows you to learn about Hawaii from 200 years ago, which was quite interesting! The interior design of the buildings was also well done!

意外と知られてない？かもしれないが、行ってみると200年前のハワイとかを知れて結構面白かった！
建物の内装もグッドデザインでした！

The meeting place was close to the hotel, allowing us to use our time effectively. It was a wonderful experience to see the scenery of Waikiki from the sky.

集合場所がホテルから近く、時間を有効的に使えました。
空から見るワイキキの風景が見れて、素晴らしい体験ができました。

The view from 150 meters was a lifelong memory! The blue sky, beautiful ocean, city, and seeing Diamond Head from the air was a unique experience. The captain and staff provided excellent service and made it enjoyable. My elementary school daughter said it became her best memory of Hawaii.

高さ150メートルから見た風景は一生の記念になりました！青い空、キレイな海、街、ダイヤモンドヘッドを空から見ると一味違いました。
船長とスタッフさんもサービス満点で楽しませてくれました。
小学生の娘は、一番のハワイの思い出になったと言っていました。

There were several activity companies for the sandbar, so I carefully chose this one. The key points were the long duration of the stay and the appealing hamburger lunch on the boat. The weather was great, and my excitement was high from the start. The female guide was very experienced, and it was nice that the group was divided into Japanese and English speakers. She took a lot of photos, and since we could practice snorkeling at the sandbar, my friends who were trying it for the first time seemed to enjoy it without any confusion. Everything was perfect until the end, and I can only say that I was glad to participate.

This trip to Hawaii only had this water activity planned, so it became a wonderful memory.

サンドバーへのアクティビティの会社はいくつもあったのでかなり吟味してここに決めました。ポイントは滞在時間が長い事、船上でのハンバーガーランチが魅力的だった事です。お天気も良くて始まりからテンションが上がりました。ガイドの女性もとても慣れていらして日本語と英語でグループ分けされていたのも良かったです。写真も沢山撮ってくれてサンドバーでシュノーケルの練習が出来たので初めての友人もシュノーケリングに戸惑う事なくとても楽しめたようです。最後まで完璧で参加して良かったの言葉しか出ませんでした。
今回のハワイは海遊びをこれしか予定していなかったのでとても良い思い出になりました。

I went on the first day of my trip to Hawaii, and it was so much fun that I forgot about my jet lag! The buffet dinner had a bit of a wait, but I ate until I was full. The show was in English, but the atmosphere in the venue created a sense of unity, and I was thrilled. The singing was truly impressive and captivating! The fire dance was also an amazing performance.

ハワイ旅行初日に行きましたが、時差ボケを忘れる位の楽しさでした！
ビュッフェディナーは待ち時間がやや長かったものの、お腹いっぱい食べました。
ショーは英語でしたが、会場の雰囲気が一体感になり、興奮しました。歌がホントに上手で魅了されました！
ファイヤーダンスも圧巻のパフォーマンスでした。

I went with my two elementary school children and family. The Japanese staff at the reception were very polite and helped us enter smoothly. The locker fee seemed a bit high, but we used it for peace of mind. There were many slides, and seeing my children happily sliding down multiple times made me feel that it was worth coming.

小学生の子供2人と家族で行きました。
受付に日本人スタッフさんが丁寧に対応してくれてスムースに入れました。
荷物ロッカー代が高い印象でしたが、安心のために利用しました。
スライダーが沢山あり、こどもが楽しそうに何度も滑っている姿を見て、来てよかったと感じました。

Fully enjoyed the ranch tour. We did the Jurassic valley movie tour in open wi Dow bus. Our guide was fantastic, engaging with everyone and very informative. Helping out taking group photos for everyone that asked. We watched groups go by in the jeep tours which also looked like they would be a lot of fun.

On the first night in Hawaii, I participated in this luau and show. The buffet at the luau had such a large portion that I couldn't finish it, but it was delicious. Above all, I was able to see the ukulele performance and hula dancing up close, and I really immersed myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere! I felt it was a great experience for the first day. It was our honeymoon, and they played and sang a Hawaiian wedding song on the ukulele, which became a wonderful memory for us. That was probably the best part of participating this time! The show even featured Elvis and Michael Jackson. Although they are from a different generation, I still enjoyed it! And the fire dance was amazing. I would have loved to see a bit more fire in the performance! I think it's a show that people who enjoy musicals would really like!

ハワイ1日目の夜にこちらのルアウ＆ショーに参加。
ルアウのビュッフェは盛られる量が多くて食べきれませんでしたが、美味しかったです。
何よりウクレレでの演奏とフラダンスを間近で見れて、ハワイの雰囲気にどっぷり浸かれました！
1日目で良かったなぁと思います。
ハネムーンだったんですが、ハワイのウェディングソングをウクレレで弾き語りしてもらい、とても思い出になりました。
それが今回参加して1番良かったことかなぁ♪
ショーではエルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンまで登場。世代ではないですが、楽しめました！
そしてファイヤーダンス(？)が凄かった。もう少し火を使った芸の割合が多いと嬉しかった！ミュージカルが好きな人は楽しめるショーだと思います！
