All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

This was a great experience, being able to snorkel and see the sandbar! Highly recommend! Everyone is very informative

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

Great night for the full family, tons of laughter and smiles from the kids!

This is a tour that takes you along hilly mountain paths on a leisurely horseback ride. The scenery is beautiful, and the weather is pleasant, making it a very enjoyable experience. There are explanations about movie filming locations and ruins at various points, but since you pass by while still on the horse, I think a different tour would be better for those who want to take photos at the filming locations. The guide speaks only English. There is a video in Japanese regarding precautions before horseback riding. On the day I participated, there were a total of six people, and one guide accompanied us. It was unfortunate that if you got too far from the guide, you could hardly hear anything.

All the horses are well-trained and follow the horse in front, so even those without riding experience can enjoy it. However, the instructions from the guide are given in English using the horses' names, such as "The person on [horse name], please go faster," which might be a bit daunting for those who don't speak any English.

One disappointing point was that one of my companions had stirrups that were too short, and even though it was known before departure, we set off without changing horses or equipment, which led to foot pain later on. Generally, they adjust for people of average build to ensure comfort, but it was unfortunate that a tall person ended up with a horse that had short stirrups.

ゆったりとした並足のみの乗馬で起伏のある山道を行くツアーです。とても景色がよく、気候も良くてとても気持ちが良いです。ところどころ映画ロケ地の解説や遺跡(?)の解説がありますが、常に馬に乗ったまま通り過ぎる形なのでロケ地で写真を撮りたい人には違うツアーの方が良いと思います。英語のみのガイドです。乗馬前の注意事項に関する動画は日本語のものもあります。参加した回は全部で6人で、1人のガイドが付いていました。ガイドから離れてしまうとほとんど聞こえないのが残念。
お馬さんたちはみんなしっかりとトレーニングされていて前の子について歩くので乗馬経験がなくても楽しめます。ただ、ガイドからの指示は英語で馬の名前を使って「○○に乗っている人もっと早く」という感じで出されるので英語が全くできない人には少し不安かもしれません。
1点残念だったのが同行者の鐙が短すぎて、出発前からそれがわかっていたのに馬を変えたり装具を変えたりすることなく出発したため後々足が痛くなってしまったことです。一般的な体形の人であれば一番楽になるように都度調整してくれますが、たまたま身長の高い人が短い鐙をつけた馬に当たってしまったのが残念でした。

It flies higher than I imagined. Before departure, there was a light drizzle, but by the time we took off, the weather was clear. From above, you can see both Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, which is a spectacular view. The wind was strong, and the aircraft swayed side to side in the air, making me feel a bit nauseous along the way.

Of course, it's advisable for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication in advance, as there can be turbulence in the air as well.

While flying, there is also a photo service available upon request. They take over 80-100 photos, and for $40, you get the data download and a memory card. Due to an incident where another passenger on the boat got sick while we were flying, we only had 42 photos taken, so we bought them for half price at $20. You can check the photos before deciding to purchase, so I think it's a good idea to request them and buy if you're satisfied.

想像以上に高く飛びます。出発前は霧雨がぱらついていましたが出発時には晴天。上からはダイアモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも一望できて壮観です。風が強くて上空で左右に揺れるので途中で酔いそうになりました。
船はもちろんですが、上空での揺れにも備えて乗り物酔いに弱い方は事前の酔い止めの服薬をおすすめします。
飛んでいる間は頼めば写真撮影サービスもあります。80-100枚以上撮影してくれてデータダウンロードとメモリーカード付で$40です。
私たちは飛んでいる間に船上の別のお客さんが吐いちゃうというアクシデントのため42枚しか撮影してもらえなかったので半額の$20で売ってもらいました。購入を決断する前に写真の確認をさせてもらえるので一応頼んでおいて納得できたら購入するという形でもいいと思います。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy a hula show, so I participated. I don't have a strong interest in dance, so I chose a show that combines hula with rock to avoid getting bored.

I'm not very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they sang songs that everyone has heard of, so I had a great time. The fire dance was also impressive.

However, the air conditioning in the venue was too strong, and I regretted wearing light clothing. I ended up getting cold and had to go to the restroom halfway through. It's essential to prepare for the cold, especially for your feet.

せっかくハワイに来たのでしっかりフラのショーを鑑賞してみたいと思い参加。元々ダンスに興味があるわけでもないので、フラだけでは飽きてしまうかなとロック融合のショーを選びました。
エルビスもマイケルも詳しくはありませんが、誰もが耳にしたことのある曲を歌ってくれたので楽しめました。ファイヤーダンスも見応えありました。
ただ会場の冷房が効き過ぎていて、薄着で行ってしまったので後悔。冷えてしまって途中トイレに立ってしまいました。特に足元の冷房対策は必須です。

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.

this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.

and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.

we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

The dinner show at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki, which is within walking distance from nearby hotels, was fantastic. We enjoyed the food and drinks, had a great time, and took memorable photos.

近くのホテルからも歩いて行けるワイキキのロイヤルハワイセンター内でディナー付きのショーは、食べて飲んで楽しんで思い出の写真も撮れて最高でした

The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.

日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。

Breathing taking experience. The view of O'ahu Island was one to never forget. I couldn't believe how beautiful the view was. This is a MUST activity!

An amazing experience and the staff (Dom and Bill) were outstanding! Super funny and great guides. I would recommend them highly.

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

What disappointed me with this trip was the last minute change of pick up to another location due to an event but after careful observation, that said event does not affect the area where we were at because a lot of other tour companies are picking their guests in front of our hotel. Despite my plea, it wasn't attended to. The staff and Manager were stern not to accommodate a simple request.

There were various courses to choose from, and I made the right decision by choosing the buggy course! I was a bit worried because there was no Japanese-speaking staff, but there were staff members who were used to dealing with tourists, so I was able to complete the tour without any issues! The price is a bit high, but it was fun!

色々なコースがあり悩みましたが、バギーのコースにして大正解でした！
日本語対応の方がいなくて少し悩みましたが、観光客への対応は慣れているスタッフさんもいてなんとかツアーを無事終えることができました！
お値段は少し張りますが、たのしかったです！

Riding the horse was challenging at times, but it was fun. The instructor was kind, and there was nothing I didn't understand. The scenery was just beautiful, and the horses were adorable.

The sunlight was strong, and there were times when tall grass and branches could hit you, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. Also, if you can't use your card for the dedicated lockers, you'll need to use cash, so it's a good idea to have $5 on hand.

馬に乗るのは難しいところもあったけど、楽しかった。
インストラクターの人は親切だったし、わからないことはなかった。
景色がとにかく良くて、馬も可愛かった。

日差しも強く、背の高い草や枝が当たることもあるので、長袖の着用をおすすめします。
また、専用のロッカーは手持ちのカードが使えない場合、紙幣を入れることになるので5ドルは手持ちがあった方が安心です

There were few customers, and the wait time wasn't too long, but there were less than half of the available slides, which was unsatisfactory.

Still, I think it was good that the kids were having fun on the available slides.

Since meals weren't included, I ordered lunch from the concession stand, but the fries were salty and the hot dog was average. I understood that food at places like this tends to be expensive, but the quality was low. Moreover, even though I ordered five items and paid for them, one item didn't arrive. Normally, when paying by credit card, I would expect a receipt, but since they took the receipt when I picked up the food, I couldn't report that one item was missing.

I think the facility itself is a fun place to spend time, but if they are going to charge high prices, they should improve the quality of their staff a little more.

お客様は少なく待ち時間もさほどなかったのですが、空いているスライダーが半分以下で満足のいくものではなかったです。

それでも子ども達は空いているスライダーで楽しそうにしていたので良かったと思います。

食事がついていなかったので、売店で昼食を頼みましたがポテトはしょっぱくホットドックも普通で、こういう場所の食事なので高いのは分かっていましたが、クオリティーは低いです。しかも５つ頼んで料金も支払ったのに１つ来ませんでした。クレジット払いで普通は控えがあると思いますが、食事を受け取る際に控えを持っていかれた為レシートが手元になく頼んだものが１つ来ていないと言うことも出来ませんでした。
施設自体は楽しく過ごせる所だと思いますが、高い料金をとるならもう少しだけでもスタッフのクオリティーをあげた方がいいと思います。

The long-awaited parasailing was enjoyable, and the journey to the point was fun as well. I also felt that the airtime was longer than expected. However, while they took photos for us, the quality felt a bit rushed considering the high price for the photo service. Additionally, there was a strong push for tips, which was a bit off-putting.

念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。

The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly! Lunch was delicious. Fun to meet other people from all over.

We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。

The Chief was so funny and endearing.

The dancers were fabulous as were the fire dancers.

Es war ein sehr interessanter Tag.
Alles war gut organisiert.
Mit dem Audioguides konnte man alle Informationen bekommen.
Leider war die Gepäckabgabe sehr teuer, 2 Rucksäcke kosten 20 $, wir dachten nicht dafür noch extra zahlen zu müssen.

The sea felt great and I was excited. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales, but that's okay. I enjoyed it as if I were on a cruise.

海が気持ちよく行きはワクワク
残念ながらクジラは会えませんでしたが仕方ないですね。
クルージングをしたつもりで楽しみました

While there may be various opinions, I highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch at least once. You’ll get used to driving the buggy in about five minutes. It’s amazing to enjoy such great nature just about an hour from downtown Honolulu.

The instructors speak entirely in English, and while I didn’t understand everything 100%, they provide detailed and enjoyable explanations about Hawaii’s history and legends.

There are warnings regarding dirt, but in reality, it wasn’t that bothersome. The smell of the helmet was a bit noticeable, but aside from that, given the opportunity to enjoy nature and interact with animals, some dirt and smell are somewhat unavoidable.

Overall, I think it was a very good experience.

色々と賛否もあると思いますが、クアロア牧場は一度は行くことをお勧めいたします。
バギーの運転も5分で慣れます。
ホノルル市内から1時間程度でここまで大自然を満喫できるのは最高です。

インストラクターの方はすべて英語で、私も100%理解はできておりませんが、
ハワイの歴史や言い伝えなどかなり詳しく丁寧に(楽しく)説明してくれます。

汚れに等に関しても注意勧告はありますが、実際はそれほど汚れは気になりませんでした。
若干ヘルメットの匂いが少し気になった程度です(笑)
ただ、大自然を満喫し、動物たちと触れ合う以上、汚れや匂いはある程度仕方のないことです。

トータルで考慮して、とても良い経験だったと思います。

I was a beginner at horseback riding with limited English. First, we watched a short Japanese video, and that was the end of the explanation. After that, I was guided by an English-speaking guide to ride the horse. The guide gave simple instructions in Japanese like "right," "left," "kick," and "pull," so I didn't have any particular trouble with the language. I ended up being at the front, and there were times when I felt anxious not knowing the way when the guide was at the back. However, the horse was smart and knew the way, so even when I gave incorrect instructions, it still took the right path. It was my first time riding, but the interactions with the horse were very enlightening, and it was a wonderful experience.

英語カタコトで初乗馬のものです。
まず短い日本語のビデオを見て説明は終わりです。あとは英語のガイドさんに誘導されるまま馬に乗せられます。ガイドさんは右・左・蹴って・引っ張って、などの簡単な日本語で指示をしてくれるので、言葉は特に困りませんでした。私は先頭になってしまい、ガイドさんが後列についているときは道が分からず不安な時はありましたが、馬が賢く道をわかっているので私が間違えた指示をだしても正しい道に入ってくれました。乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬とのやり取りはすごく気づかされることも多く、すばらしい体験でした。

If you’re second guessing whether or not you should do it, DON’T. I’m so glad I didn’t let my fear get in the way of experiencing such an unforgettable moment. I learned a great deal and have found a new appreciation for these apexes predictors.

Ride to the ship was ok. Getting onboard was good. Overall food on deck 2, roast beef menu was subpar. Not good enough to want seconds. Wife and I felt this excursion was way too long. Especially being on the water got boring and we love the water. Sorry but the entertainment was that exiting. We were just counting down the minutes to get off the ship. The staff was nice and accommodating but the overall feeling of wanting to stay on the ship died off after the first hour on board.

At first, I felt scared, but the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. People of a certain age can try it safely. I recommend it.

はじめは怖く感じましたが、空の上から見るハワイの景色は最高でした。ある程度の年齢でも安心にトライできますよ。おすすめします。

we saw the main museum, the shuttle bus takes you to the Base & Missouri for a tour. you need the full day to see it all.

They intentionally made the road bumpy. It depends on the driver's skill, but my husband drove roughly on purpose, making it feel like a roller coaster, and our 9-year-old was screaming the whole time. At one point, we sped right into a puddle, and we all ended up covered in mud, haha. Of course, the other buggies remained clean. With ups and downs, puddles, rivers, and magnificent scenery, it was an incredibly fun two hours! (I thought it would be two hours including the briefing, but we actually drove for a full two hours, haha.) The staff were all very friendly. You can enjoy it even if you know nothing about Jurassic Park. By the way, all the explanations along the way are in English.

I realized after the tour that I had dropped my phone during the trip. It's better to bring a bag that closes securely. When I informed them about the lost phone, they said they would call if it was found. A few days later, I received a call from a Japanese person saying it had been found. They seemed to be considerate since I am Japanese (even though they connected me with a completely different department). We had already moved to the Big Island, but that person coordinated with their boss and sent my phone to the Big Island. It arrived the next day, so I was able to receive it safely before returning home, and I am very grateful.

あえて道をボコボコにしてあるんですね。ドライバーの技量にもよりますが、主人はわざと荒く運転したのでまるでジェットコースターのようで9歳の子供がずっとキャーキャー言ってました。途中の水たまりでは思いっきりスピードを出して突っ込み、我が家は全員泥だらけになりました笑。もちろん他のバギーたちは綺麗なままです。アップダウンあり、水たまりあり、川あり、雄大な景色ありで、めちゃくちゃ楽しい2時間でした！（事前説明含めて2時間かと思ったら、ちゃんと2時間走ります。笑）スタッフもみんな親切です。ジュラシックパークを何も知らなくても楽しいです。ちなみに途中の解説は全て英語です。

ツアー道中で携帯を落としてしまったことに、ツアー後に気づきました。口がしっかり閉まるバッグを持って行った方が良いです。携帯を落としたことを伝えたところ、見つかったら電話すると言ってくれました。数日後に見つかったと日本人の方から電話がありました。私が日本人なので気遣ってくれたようです（全然異なる部署にも関わらず繋いで下さったようです）。私たちは既にハワイ島に移動していたのですが、その方は上司と掛け合って下さり、携帯をハワイ島まで送って下さいました。翌日着で届けて下さったため、帰国前に無事に受け取ることができ感謝しかありません。

we had a lovely time kayaking to the coral reef and snorkeling around. the people that worked there were super kind and helpful and showed us exactly where to go and what to do with detailed instructions. thanks for having us!
