All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

The local tour was very satisfying! The bus to the destination took a while to arrive, and when it finally did, it passed the meeting point and picked up passengers in front of a different hotel. Fortunately, someone else was inquiring about the bus information from the tour company, and we found out it was indeed the pickup bus, which saved us from any issues. However, I think it would be reassuring to have the bus company's information in advance and to receive updates if there are any changes to the pickup location.

現地ツアーは大満足です！
行きのバスがなかなか来ず、来たと思ったら集合場所前を通り過ぎて別のホテルの前でピックアップになりました。たまたま他の方がツアー会社にバスの情報を問い合わせていて、迎えのバスであることが分かりことなきを得ましたが、事前にバス会社の情報や、ピックアップ場所の変更があれば新しい情報が分かると安心できるかなと思いました。

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this museum. The exhibits were more fulfilling than I expected, with many displays about the Hawaiian monarchy and photographs from that era, which were quite moving. You can deepen your knowledge about Polynesian culture as a whole. There are two guided sessions in Japanese at 10:30 and 11:30. We arrived at 10:45 without knowing this, but we negotiated and were allowed to join the 10:30 session (it might be a good idea to check in advance the days and times when the Japanese guide is available). In addition to the museum, there are facilities for children (playgrounds), a planetarium, and a science center, but these are not particularly impressive.

何度もハワイに旅行しましたが、こちらのミュージアムは初めて訪問しました。予想以上に充実した展示内容で、ハワイ王朝やその時代の写真展示も多く、感慨深かったです。ポリネシア文化全体についての知識を深めることができます。10:30～、11:30～の２回、日本人ガイドによる簡単な説明もあります。私たちは知らずに10:45に到着しましたが、交渉して10:30の回に入れていただきました（日本語ガイドの開催される曜日や時間は事前に確認した方がいいかもしれません）。ミュージアム以外にも、子供向けの学習施設（遊び場）、プラネタリム、科学センター等併設していますが、これらはさほどたいしたことはありません。

Daddy/ daughter time horseback riding. I asked my daughter tonight on our last day of our vacation. What is your favorite on all our activities, she said Gunstock Ranch Horse back. I agree with her also. Recommended to do it when you go to OAHU… they are not as crowded like the other ranch near by… also for the money spend,
Friendly staffers.

I had a wonderful time. The staff were also very kind. The breathtaking views made the flying time feel like it passed in an instant.

・とてもすてきな時間をすごすことができました。スタッフの方々も親切です。飛んでいる時間があっという間に感じるほどの絶景でした。

It was easier to ride than I expected. After just a few minutes of instruction, we were able to ride and set off with a small group!

Two staff members were assigned to lead and ensure safety, allowing us to move smoothly. The leading staff also took videos and photos of our group with our personal cameras, which was great because it meant we had proper records of our experience, not just riding.

We took various explanations and commemorative photos along the way, and the time flew by.

I still wanted to ride more, so I thought I would like to come back again.

After we finished riding, we were grateful to receive cold drinks and fruit. However, on the final survey form, there was a note about tipping, and some people in our group said they hadn’t been informed about it until the very end. While I understand that tipping is customary in Hawaii, I believe this should be clearly stated somewhere, and the survey form, which seemed to demand a tip of 20-30% of the tour fee like a restaurant, should be revised.

If this information were communicated clearly to customers before they sign up, I don’t think we would have had complaints like those from our group. It’s also important to ensure that the fun mood at the end isn’t dampened.

The tour itself was excellent.

思っていたより簡単に乗れました、ほんの数分の講習でもう全然乗ることができ数人で出発❗

二人のスタッフが先導と周りの安全確認するのに分けれていてくれたので、私達はスムーズに移動でき、先導スタッフが個人の携帯のカメラでグループごとの動画や写真を撮ってくれていたので、ただ乗るだけではなくきちんと記録が残るので良かったです。

所々で色んな説明や記念写真も撮ったりしてあっという間の時間でした。

まだまだ乗り足りない、もっと乗っていたかったのでまた乗りに来たいと思いました。

乗り終わったら冷たい飲み物やフルーツも頂き有り難かったですが、最後のアンケートの用紙にチップが記載されており、私以外は団体グループで最後の最後に聞いてないと言う人達がいました、たしかにハワイでのチップはあると思いますが、チップの件はどこかに記載するべきだと思いますし、レストランのようにいきなりツアー料金の20〜30%のチップをよこせと言わんばかりのアンケート用紙も変更した方が良いと思いました。

まずは申し込む前のお客さんにしっかり伝わるようにしていただいていたら、今回の団体さんみたいな苦情までは行かないとは思います、最後の最後に楽しかった気分をかえさないようにするのも必要ですね。

ツアー自体は最高でした。

It was an activity that included everything you can do in Hawaii. Snorkeling from the boat was a great experience. The dinner was all-you-can-eat and drink, and it was a good value!

HAWAIIにいるからできることがすべて入ったアクティビティでした。船からのシュノーケリングは良い体験です。夕食も飲み食べ放題、コスバ良し!

The guide was very kind.
The other participants in the tour were also nice people.
I joined alone, but I had a great time.

ガイドさんがとても親切でした。
同じツアー参加者も良い方たちでした。
一人での参加でしたが、楽しく過ごせました。

Great experience! Very professional and knowledgeable.

I mistakenly headed to the meeting place on the wrong date, but they were flexible and accommodating. Thank you! The sign for Jurassic Park really got me excited!

参加日も間違えて集合場所に向かってしまいましたが、柔軟に対応いただきました。ありがとうございます。
ジェラシックパークのサインはテンション上がりました！

Lots of history. Great staff and we had a great day. Everyone was really friendly and open to share the Hawaiian culture with us while on the tour.

I had imagined a cheap tourist show featuring Presley and Michael Jackson, but I was captivated by the powerful acts of the dancers. Both Presley and Michael embodied entertainment and performance, and the female singer was wonderful as well. Personally, I was particularly impressed by the performance of a Japanese woman who seemed to be in charge of percussion and keyboards in the music cast.
The dinner before the show was buffet-style, making it easy to enjoy a meal, and on top of that, the children were able to receive a simple hula dance lesson, which was a nice touch.

「プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンの登場するハワイアンショー」で、観光客向けの安っぽいものを少し想像していたのですが、ダンサーの皆さんのパワフルなアクトに魅了されました。プレスリーもマイケルもエンターテイメント性とパフォーマンスの両方を兼備していたし、シンガーの女性も素晴らしかったです。個人的に、音楽キャストのパーカッション/キーボードを担当していた日本人らしき女性の演奏が目を引きました。
　ショーの前のディナーもビュッフェスタイルで気軽に食事ができて、その上、子どもがフラの振り付けの簡単なレクチャーも受けることができて、至れり尽くせりでした。

It was quite crowded with many locals on our Sunday reservation, but there were slides that the whole family could enjoy, and the kids were satisfied. We mainly swam in the wave pool and occasionally went on the slides. The Japanese guide recommended putting our belongings in a locker and securing a shaded table, but I think it would be sufficient to secure a cabana at the wave pool and use that as a base. The theme park opens at 10:30, which is a bit late, so I think it would have been better if the overall schedule was set a little later. However, the kids seemed happy. I would like to come again.

　日曜日の予約で現地の方も多く混雑していましたが、家族で乗れるスライダーもあり、子どもは満足していました。ウェーブプールをメインに泳いで、時々スライダーに乗りに行くという感じでした。日本人の案内の方からは。ロッカーに荷物を入れたり、日陰のテーブルを確保することを勧められましたが、ウェーブプールにカバナを確保すればそこを起点に動くので十分だと思います。テーマパークのオープンが10:30と遅めなので、もう少し全体的なスケジュールを遅めに設定していただけるとより良かったかなと思いましたが、子どもは満足そうでした。また来たいです。

It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time

The tour conductor was kind and it was very enjoyable. My face and clothes got completely black. It's better to avoid white clothing.

ツアーコンダクターの方が親切で
とても楽しかったです。
お顔も洋服も真っ黒になりました。
白系は控えておいたほうがよいです。

We started with a total of about 12 people from Hyatt. It was easy to get to the top of the hill by car. The bicycles have brakes on the handlebars, just like in Japan, so if you're used to riding, it's a breeze. An instructor led the way at the front, and a van driven by another staff member followed us at the back, which was reassuring. We stopped at scenic spots along the way to take photos. The views of Waikiki and the west side were both very beautiful. Although the details mentioned snacks and mineral water would be included, those were not provided. Our family had brought water, so it wasn't a problem.

Thank you! I loved this experience.

ハイアットから乗り合わせた総勢12名？ぐらいでスタート。
丘の上まで車なのでらくらく。
自転車も日本と同じで手のところにブレーキがあり、自転車に乗り慣れていたら余裕。
1番前にインストラクターさん、1番後ろに別のスタッフさんが運転するバンが付いてきてくれ、安心。
途中景色の良いところで自転車を停め、撮影も可能。
ワイキキ側の景色も、西側の景色もとても綺麗。
詳細のところっ含まれるものの中にスナックやミネラルウォーターとあったが、それらは無かった。
我が家は水を持ってたので問題は無かった。

Thank you!
I loved this experience.

It was my fifth visit after four years and four months. I thoroughly enjoyed the unchanged Hawaiian nights. I definitely want to go again next time I visit.

4年4ヶ月ぶりの5回目の訪問でした。
何も変わらないハワイの夜を満喫いたしました。
次回来た時も是非行きたいと思います。

All the slides were fun! However, when considering the total experience, I think the cost performance is a bit high. The all-you-can-drink options aren't really worth it since you can't drink that much. The locker fee is also expensive. If it were a bit cheaper, I would want to go again.

滑り台全て楽しかったです♪
けど、トータルで考えるとコスパは少し高いかなぁと。
飲み放題のドリンクもそんなに飲めるものでは無いので不要。
ロッカー代も高い。
もう少し安かったら、また行きたいです。

Let me start by saying this is a must do when visiting o’ahu. The views from the sandbar are incredible. I’m 4’10” and I think the water at the sandbar come up to my waistline. It took us about 40 minutes to paddle out to it because I’m not the most athletic. Lol

The kayak tour did include a life jacket. We rented a dry bag and an anchor for $5. And anchor is a must if you want to hang out at the sandbar or snorkel at one of the reefs.

Speaking of reefs, what an experience! I saw plenty of beautiful fish and turtles. “Park” your kayak on the sandy area and do not step on the coral. They are very sensitive. If you park up by the corals, you’ll see plenty of fish and turtles popping in and out.

The staff was friendly and informative. They gave us the best route to be able to go to the sandbar and the reefs. We followed instructions and did exactly as we were told as everyone should.

You’ll have a great time if you follow the rules and respect the ocean and its animals!

The driver had a Japanese driver's license, and I, sitting in the passenger seat, had a copy of my passport, but it wasn't necessary. Also, wearing long pants wasn't required. There was a Japanese-speaking staff member who gathered Japanese speakers and provided an explanation in Japanese. After that, we split into groups for horseback riding, location tours, and buggies, all conducted in English. As everyone mentioned in their reviews, the sand and dust get on your face and clothes, but it's all part of the fun! I wore a mask for infection control, but I noticed some people bought scarves from the Kualoa Ranch shop to wrap around their mouths, which I thought was a good idea. We stopped at about three locations where the staff explained various things, but I couldn't understand the guide's content due to the language barrier, which was disappointing. However, I think driving myself was enjoyable. We passed through several areas with standing water, going slowly to avoid splashing or intentionally driving in quickly, getting the inside of the car soaked. Overall, the breathtaking natural views that you can't see in Japan and the fun of driving a buggy that you can't experience in Japan were amazing!

運転する人は日本の免許証を、助手席に乗る私はパスポートのコピーを用意していましたが不要でした。また長ズボンでなくても大丈夫です。「日本語の説明が必要な方はこちらへ」と日本人を集めて日本語を話せるスタッフがひと通り説明して下さり、その後、乗馬、ロケ地巡りツアー、バギー等それぞれに分かれ、英語のみに。皆さんのレビュー通り、砂ホコリで顔も服も汚れますが、それも楽しい！私は感染対策用のマスクを着けましたが、売店でクアロア牧場のスカーフを買って口に巻いている人がいて、それもいいなと思いました。3カ所ほど止まって車から降りてスタッフが色々説明してくれるのですが、英語がわからず･･･ガイドの内容がわからないのは残念でしたが、自分で運転するのは楽しいと思います。途中水が溜まっている所を何ヶ所か通過するのですが、水を飛ばさないようにゆっくり通ったり、わざと勢いよく入って車の中まで水浸しになったり。とにかく日本では見ることのできない壮大な自然の眺め、日本では体験できない楽しいバギー運転、最高でした！

This was my first zipline experience, and I was able to enjoy it safely and securely. There are no Japanese-speaking staff, but all the staff are very kind and provide easy-to-understand explanations, even for those who cannot speak English. Zipping through the breathtaking views of Hawaii will create unforgettable memories, so although it can be difficult to get there without renting a car, I highly recommend experiencing it.

今回初めてのジップライン体験でしたが安心安全に楽しむことができました。
日本語対応のスタッフはいませんがスタッフ皆さん優しく対応してくださるので英語が話せない方でも分かりやすく説明してくれます。
ハワイの絶景をみながらするジップラインは最高の思い出になりますので、レンタカーを借りなければ行きづらいですが是非とも体験してほしいです。

I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time, and the views were truly breathtaking. During the buggy experience, we were able to ride together and navigate through rough terrain that exceeded our expectations, making it an unforgettable activity. Since the dust can be intense, it's advisable to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and to bring a change of clothes and a mask.

今回初めてクアロアランチに行きましたが本当に絶景が広がっており最高でした。
バギー体験では2人で乗車することができ想像以上の悪路を走ることができアクティビティーとして最高の思い出になること間違いなしです。砂埃が凄いので必ず汚れても良い服装、着替え、マスクなどを用意すると良いでしょう。

We participated as a family since there were activities available for children aged 5 and under, and we had never touched a dolphin before.

We arrived at the park around 10 AM. There was a line for entry, so we waited in line. After waiting for 10 or 20 minutes, the line wasn't moving much. Since the activity was scheduled for 11 AM, we felt a bit anxious and frustrated. We finally got in and made our way to the dolphin pool. We weren't sure where to go for preparation, but we rushed in at the last moment, and thankfully, we made it. It would have been better if the entry process was smoother. Also, it would be helpful if the preparation area had clearer maps or guides.

The interaction with the dolphin (Nalu) was great. The explanations were in English, so those who are not familiar with English might not understand, but you can still enjoy the atmosphere. The fun time went by in a flash, and since the pickup for our return was at 2 PM, we didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the park. That's a bit disappointing. It seems that visiting this park twice might be enough to fully enjoy it.

5歳の子どもが参加できるアクティビティという制限の中、イルカに触れたことなかったので、親子で参加。

パークには10時ころに到着。入場は列ができていたので、並んで待っていました。10分、20分待てど列はなかなか前へ進みません。11時からのアクティビティなのでちょっと不安、イライラが。何とか入って、イルカのプールへ。どこに準備でどこに行くのかわからず最後に駆け込むように、でも間に合ってよかったです。もう少し入場がスムーズならいいのですが。あと準備の場所も案内図などが分かりやすければよいのですが。

イルカ（Nalu君）との触れあいは良かったです。説明は英語なので、英語不慣れな方は理解できないと思いますが、雰囲気で楽しめますよ。
楽しい時間はあっという間、14時には帰りのピックアップがくるので、パーク内で十分に堪能できなかった。ちょっと残念。
このパークは2回ほど行くと十分楽しめるのかも。

Super fun! My daughter and her bestie had a great time. Crew were kind and fun! You should really do the 1000 feet!!

The English was easy to understand, and it was a safe experience with a small group. The horseback riding experience in the beautiful sea of the North Shore was incredibly moving. The riding time was 1.5 hours, and it was more cost-effective than other tours with Japanese-speaking guides and transportation. We used hui car share for transportation, so after horseback riding, we were able to leisurely enjoy food walking in Haleiwa. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to try sunset horseback riding.

英語もわかりやすく、少人数のパーティーで安心です。ノースショアの綺麗な海での乗馬体験は、大感動でした。乗馬時間は1.5時間で、他の日本語ガイド付き送迎付きのツアーよりコスパ良です。移動はhuiカーシェアを使用したので、乗馬の後はハレイワで食べ歩きもゆっくりできました。とても良い想い出になりました。次回はサンセット乗馬を体験してみたいです。

I saw in the notes that there were people in sandals, so I thought it would be fine to go in sandals, but it wasn't. I ended up buying shoes at a souvenir shop... Please be careful.

I didn't request a shuttle and took the bus from Ala Moana Shopping Center. Along the way, an employee wearing a Kualoa T-shirt got on, which gave me a strange sense of reassurance. There were already Jurassic Park-like mountains on the bus ride, and I was amazed. The bus was extremely cold!!

When it was time for horseback riding, we gathered at the barn. When they asked about my English skills and I said I wasn't good at it, they showed us a video for Japanese speakers on a monitor. There were two other groups of customers besides us, making a total of six people for the ride. It was fun to walk through the mountains, across the fields, and see the ocean, but the main attraction, Jurassic Park, never appeared! It seems there are routes like that... I was really disappointed.

I had enough time to take pictures and videos with my smartphone.

注意事項に記載されていたことですが写真を見るとサンダルの人もいたのでまあ大丈夫だろうとサンダルで行きましたがだめでした。お土産屋さんで靴を買うことに。。。お気をつけください。

送迎は頼まず、アラモアナショッピングセンターからバスで行きました。途中でクアロアのTシャツを着た従業員の方が乗ってきたのでなんとも言えない安心感。
バスの道中ですでにジュラシックパークっぽい山がありおお～～～ってなってました。バスは異常に寒いです！！
乗馬の時間になったので小屋に集まり、英語は？と聞かれ苦手というとモニターで日本人用のビデオを見せてくれました。
私達の他に2組お客さんがいて計6人で出発。山の中を歩いたり草原を歩いたり海が見えたりと景色が変わるのは楽しかったですが、、肝心のジュラシックパークがいつまで経ってもでてこない！！そういうルートもあるようです。。すごく残念でした。

スマホで写真撮ったり動画撮ったりくらいの余裕はあります。

I am so glad I booked this luau for my family and me. We all had such a good
time. The show was very entertaining to watch. We got to learn a lot about Polynesian culture. They also involve the audience as well. As for the food, it was great as well. There was a wide selection of food and dessert. If you want to have a good time and eat great food, I would recommend this. You also have the option of adding transportation which was great for us.

Overall very nice experience.
Food was better than anticipated and show was funny and very informative.
It is well organized as well.
A bit far and remote however was worth it and would highly recommend.

Dinner & entertainment experience was great,from Elvis to the dancers.Micheal Jackson could some inprovement in both singing & dancing.I would definitely recommend this dinner & show to anyone.photograph was a little overpriced in my opinion.

We learned so much about the history of Hawaii and the importance of restoring and maintaining its unique culture.

It got quite dirty with the dust. But that made it interesting. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I was drawn in by the cheerful atmosphere and had a lot of laughs. I think they shared episodes and myths from the filming, but I felt it would have been nice to have printed materials in Japanese at that time. Anyway, it was a lot of fun.

砂埃で結構　汚れちゃいました。でも、それがまた面白かったです。英語でのガイドだったので　説明がほとんど分からずでしたが　陽気な雰囲気につられて　笑いがいっぱいでした。撮影時のエピソードや神話などを話してくださったように思うのですが　その時に日本語での説明の印刷物でもあると良かったかなと思いました。とにかく楽しかったです。
