All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

this is a nice day on the water with a nice boat ride. Crew is very nice. It is $160 per person including transportation, and for that you get a seat on the boat maybe if you can find one, a cheeseburger with baked beans and fruit for lunch, a trip to a sandbar where either you play volleyball or stand around, then a trip to a reef to see little fish and turtles.

The staff and crew were amazing as well as the foood. The entertainment

I had a full two hours of horseback riding. I had a great time. Along the way, I also encountered some cute wild boars, which was really fun.

たっぷり2時間の乗馬。
とても楽しく過ごせました。
途中、可愛いイノシシなどにも出会えて、とっても楽しかったです。

We were picked up by Shorts exactly on time and found our guide to be helpful, kind and informative. He was a great driver and answered any questions we had. He provided clear instructions on what to do when and was very patient with our group that ranged from the elderly in a wheelchair to the young kids. He gave us options on lunch and have us plenty of time to sightsee. Shorts is highly recommended!!!

I am 70 years old, in pretty good shape but was worried about my ability to do this. (All the others in my group were 30-40 years). Not only was I able to do it, I kept up with the youngsters and conquered my fear of heights. The staff here were outstanding. They put safety first, remembered all of our names and kept everything fun and light hearted. The views from the platforms were spectacular and the lines were long and up high above the trees. (My only complaint would be that I wish there was a restroom maybe at the halfway point of the excursion). Other than that, I would highly recommend this for any thrill seekers out there. You did have to endure some physical as well as mental challenges along the way. There were some steep steps to climb, a bumpy ATV ride from the first platform to the second, a controlled bungee leap off of two of the platforms and one where you had to pull yourself up using a block and tackle rope pulley. Fun, fun fun……

Had the best time!! Recommend everyone do the ATV raptor tour, you get to see so much of the ranch which is just beautiful. The history of the ranch (staff is very knowledgeable about the ranch and a pleasure to have as guides) and stops that we did were great and the icing on top was that we got to see some dinosaurs! Can’t wait to go back as I would do it again.

The food was good, the entertainment and the sunset view was incredible!

I communicated my lack of confidence in swimming, so they were attentive and held my hand, allowing me to swim without anxiety. Seeing the beautiful fish and coral made the stress from the long COVID-19 pandemic disappear. I was able to rent a bodysuit and prescription mask, and the two instructors who spoke Japanese were very kind. I would like to use this service again. Thank you!

泳ぎに自信がない事を伝えていたので気を配ってくれ、手をつないでもらい不安なく泳ぎました。
きれいな魚や珊瑚をみて長かったコロナ禍でのストレスが吹っ飛びました。
レンタルのボディスーツ、度付きマスクも借りれて日本語の分かるお二人のインストラクターの方が優しいです。
また利用したいです。
ありがとうございました！

I watched it on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii.
You can listen to music from famous people in America who have connections to Hawaii.
It's very well done and interesting, with performances that you wouldn't see in Japan, so I think it's worth a look.
However, the music being played is somewhat dated, so if you're in your 30s, it might lack excitement.
I was able to watch it until the end, but my companion, since it was the first day of our arrival, slept through the whole thing from start to finish! (laughs)

ハワイ到着初日に視聴。
アメリカで有名な人の音楽でかつハワイに縁のある人の音楽が聴けます。
とても、上手で面白く、日本ではみないような演出をしてくださるので、一見の価値はあるかと思います。
ただ、流れてくる音楽の世代がいささか古いので、30代前後だと面白味に欠ける可能性はあるかもしれません。
僕は最後までしっかり見れましたが、連れは到着初日ということもあり最初から最後までずっと寝てました笑

Upon arriving at Kualoa Ranch, a staff member who spoke Japanese explained the facilities. After that, we were guided to the reception for each activity, and from then on, I communicated with the staff in English. Important instructions, such as how to ride a horse, were provided in a Japanese video, which was reassuring.

We rode horses in a single line across the vast land for two hours. Along the way, the guide explained in English that this was the location used in a scene from Jurassic World. About 30 minutes in, the horse I was riding started to act up because it seemed to have an itchy belly. For safety reasons, the guide arranged for me to switch horses. The guide handled the situation smoothly and with a smile, which helped ease my anxiety. This led to a lot of enjoyable conversations with the guide as we continued on our ride!

With Kualoa Mountain in the background, we were able to take photos, and after the tour, I received the pictures via AirDrop. Professional photos were also available for purchase for $20. This two-hour experience of riding horses and enjoying the breathtaking scenery became an unforgettable memory!

クアロアランチに着くと、日本語が話せる方が拠点となる施設の説明をしてくれました。
その後、それぞれのアクティビティの受付に案内され、それ以降は英語のみでスタッフの方と会話しました。馬の乗り方など、大切なことは日本語のビデオで説明があったので安心でした。

馬に乗って1列で広大な土地の中を2時間移動しました。途中でガイドの方から英語で、ここはジュラシックワールドのこの場面で使われたところです、などの説明が聞けました。
開始30分ほどで、私の乗っていた馬が、お腹がかゆいようで少し暴れ出しました。安全のために、ガイドさんの乗っていた馬と交換してもらいました。私が不安にならないようにガイドさんが笑顔でスムーズに対応してくれました。それをきっかけに、ガイドさんとたくさん会話しながら進むことができ、私としてはとっても楽しかったです！
クアロア山を背景に、写真を撮ってもらえて、ツアーが終わった後airdropで写真をもらうことができました。
プロの方に撮ってもらった写真も、20ドルで購入可能でした。
馬に乗って絶景を楽しんだこの2時間は、一生忘れられない経験になりました！

After arriving at the ranch, you will receive an explanation of the facilities from staff who speak Japanese, and the subsequent check-in, briefing, and activities will be in English. You can check the driving instructions for the buggy in a Japanese video, so I think there won't be any issues.

If the weather looks suspicious, don't forget to grab a poncho available for rent on-site! I was caught in a downpour during the activity and got completely soaked, but I thoroughly enjoyed racing around the off-road course in the buggy, taking in the magnificent scenery and sets that I had seen in movies. I highly recommend it!

牧場到着後、日本語ができるスタッフから施設内の説明を受け、その後のチェックインからブリーフィング、アクティビティは英語になります。バギーの運転は日本語ビデオで確認できますので、問題ないと思います。

雲行きが怪しい場合、現地で貸出しているポンチョを忘れずに！　私はアクティビティ中にスコールに見舞われズブ濡れなりましたが、オフロードをバギーで駆け巡り壮大な景色、映画で見たことのあるセットを堪能し大満足です。是非お勧めします！

The team really went out of their way to give us a great day out on the water, and went out looking to make sure we saw turtles.

We are booking next time we go already

Was a great day and the team were amazing and really looked after us

I signed up without meals. It was enjoyable enough. The fire show was particularly impressive. I was surprised to see a hula dancer with a big belly.

食事なしに申し込みました。それなりに楽しめます。ファイアショーが特に迫力があってよかったです。フラのダンサーにおなかが大きい人がいて
びっくりしました。

On the day of the tour, it was raining on the bus, but by the time we boarded the boat and reached the area where the whales were, the rain had stopped and the sun peeked out, which was great. The color of the sea was very beautiful.

We didn't see any large whales, but we did catch glimpses of what seemed to be a baby whale! We saw its tail several times and parts of its body, which was wonderful.

Inside the boat, snacks, light meals, and drinks were available for purchase. Since the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

I believe this is a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from the elderly to small children.

当日、バスの中では雨でしたが、、船に乗り鯨のいる場所につく頃には雨も止んで太陽ものぞいてくれたので良かったです。
海の色がとっても綺麗でしたよ
大きい鯨には、会えませんでしたが、、赤ちゃん鯨でしょうか？！何回も尻尾が見えたり、体の一部が見えたり良かったです。
船内では、スナックや軽食・飲み物が有料販売有りでした。
船内が冷房が強いので、、羽織るもの1枚持っていくといいと思います。
ご年配の方から小さいお子様まで、一緒に楽しむことのできるツアーだと思います

This was a good choice, very knowledgeable of reef and endangered animals , Fun Responsible Worth it ,More for Adults then small kids but they do have small children aboard . Cheeseburger lunch included alcohol to purchase, fee softdrinks water juice. Do this you won't regret a minute.

Totally enjoyed our tour with Squid. He was so informative, giving us great information about each place we visited (as well as places we passed along the way). Loved the high energy music he played on the bus, which energized the group. Loved the shrimp lunch, which was included. Kudos to Squid. I highly recommend this tour to others. You will not be disappointed.

I was picked up at the Hyatt at 7:25 AM, and we arrived at 9:00 AM. My 3-year-old child got tired just from being on the bus for an hour and a half. It was disappointing that we could only see the tail this time, as it didn't leave a lasting impression on my child.

7時25分にHyattでpick upしてもらい、着いたのは9時でした。
3歳の子どもは、1時間半バスに乗っていただけでも疲れてしまいました。
今回はテールしか見られず、子供にとって印象が残らなかったのが残念でした。

I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, which is about an hour away by shuttle bus from Waikiki. Unlike horseback riding experiences in Japan, here you hold the reins and control the horse yourself, which was a lot of fun. The instructions for riding are easy to understand by watching a video in Japanese. Once on the horse, the guide provides various explanations and directions, but it is mainly in English. Even if you don't understand the language, the horses are smart and will follow the horse in front, so there's no need to worry.

You need to store large items like backpacks in lockers beforehand (credit card payment available at the machine next to the lockers for $5). It was raining a bit, so I tried to wear the poncho I brought, but I was told it was dangerous and couldn't wear it. There is a raincoat available for free rental, which I used, but I was a bit concerned about the dirt on it. Since the ground was muddy, mud splashed onto my shoes and pants while riding, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

ワイキキから送迎バスで約1時間ほどのクアロア牧場で乗馬体験を行いました。
日本で体験する乗馬とは違い、自らの手で手綱を握り馬を操作する乗馬でとても楽しかったです。
乗馬の説明は日本語のビデオを見るため簡単に理解できます。馬に乗ってからはガイドの方が色々と説明や案内をしていただけますが基本的に英語となります。言葉がわからなくても馬が賢く前の馬について行ってくれるので困ることはありません。
リュックサックなどの大型の荷物は事前にロッカーに預けておく必要があります（ロッカー横の機械でクレジット決済可　$5）
少し雨が降っていたため持参したポンチョを着用しようとしましたが危険とのことで着用できませんでした。無料でレンタルできるカッパがあり着用しましたが少し汚れが気になりました。
地面がぬかるんでいたことから乗馬中に跳ねた泥が靴やズボンについてしまったため汚れても良い服装で行くのが良いかと思います。

The ladies that took us on our ride were absolutely delightful. They were thorough about safety and just lovely to talk to. They obviously care very much for the horses and know them well.
The evening was beautiful despite the risk of rain and the timing was perfect to have photos with the sunset behind us.
My only negative was that it was advertised as a 90 minute ride and it was only 60 minutes.

I participated in this tour in early February 2023. One of the things I wanted to do in winter Hawaii was whale watching, and since my hotel was Aulani, I joined this tour departing from Ko Olina Marina.

It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Aulani to Ko Olina Marina, and about 5 minutes by car. The tour included four alcoholic drinks, so I walked there instead of driving, but I was a bit tired on the way back (^_^;).

Upon arriving at the marina, the check-in area was easy to find. I signed in on the list, received a wristband, used the restroom, and boarded the boat. There were about 15 to 20 guests at that time, but we were the only Japanese group. All the explanations were in English, but a young Japanese male staff member came later to explain in Japanese, and he also supported us during snorkeling, which was very helpful!

After the boat headed out to sea, we encountered a mother and baby whale! I was incredibly excited to see the whales spouting water and their tails coming up to the surface with my own eyes! Since it was an evening tour, we didn’t see any dolphins, but I was very satisfied to have encountered the whales.

After that, we went to the snorkeling point and enjoyed snorkeling. During this time, we encountered a sea turtle. I was moved to see it coming up from the bottom of the ocean for air, floating on the surface, and then returning to the ocean floor, all from a very close distance! The water was a bit cold during this season, but I was glad I participated in snorkeling! After snorkeling, it was chilly, so I changed from my swimsuit to regular clothes in the boat's restroom. The restroom was a bit spacious with shelves, making it suitable for changing. There were two restrooms, one on each side at the back.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed dinner and the sunset. The dinner was served on a single plate, but it was piled high, so I was full! The taste was also delicious. The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful.

I think this is a highly recommended activity for those staying around Ko Olina!

2023年2月上旬に参加しました。
冬のハワイでやりたい事がホェールウォッチングで、宿泊ホテルがアウラニだったのでコオリナマリーナから出発するこちらのツアーに参加しました。

アウラニからコオリナマリーナまでは歩いて片道25分くらい、車だと片道5分くらいです。ツアーにアルコールが4本かな？含まれていたので車は使わずに歩いて行きましたが帰りはちょっと疲れました(^_^;)

マリーナに到着して受付の場所はわかりやすかったです。名簿に記帳してリストバンドを付けて、御手洗を済ませてボートに乗り込みます。
この時は15名？20名？？くらいお客さんが居ましたが日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。
色々な説明は全て英語でしたが、若い日本人男性のスタッフさんがあとから日本語で説明しに来てくださって、その後のシュノーケルもサポートしてもらえたのでとても助かりました！

ボートが沖に出て少しするとクジラの親子に遭遇出来ました！肉眼でクジラの潮吹きや海面の上に出てきた尾びれを見られてものすごく興奮しました！夕方のツアーなので時間的にイルカは見られませんでしたがクジラに遭遇出来たので大満足でした。

その後シュノーケルポイントに行って、シュノーケルを楽しみました。この時に海亀に遭遇出来ました。海の底から息をにし浮上してくる様子や海面をぷかぷかしている様子、また海の底に帰って行く様子を近づくことが出来るギリギリの距離で見られて感動しました！
この時期の海はちょっと寒かったですが、でもシュノーケル参加して良かったです！
シュノーケルの後は寒かったのでボートのおトイレで水着から私服に着替えました。おトイレは少しだけ広めで棚とかがあったので着替えスペースも兼ねている感じでした。おトイレは後方左右に1つずつ計2つありました。

シュノーケルが終わるとディナーとサンセットを楽しみます。ディナーはワンプレートですがモリモリに盛ってもらえたのでお腹いっぱいになりました！味も美味しかったです。ボートからのサンセットもすごく素敵でした。

コオリナ周辺で宿泊されている方にはとてもおすすめのアクティビティだと思います～。

Better than expected, would definitely attend again. Good family entertainment.

The experience was fantastic, saw whales as well as dolphins. The staff was very impressive as well, showed us a lot of stuff while we were snorkeling as well as from the boat. Staff was very knowledgeable and personable! Food was OK. Ship was very nice! We had a great time, would highly recommend!

This tour is gorgeous. You are able to take awesome pictures all over the park and guides are nice and knowledgeable.
I will do it again for sure.

I thought it would get dirty, but it didn't get dirty at all.
We visited three filming spots.
I was looking forward to the Jurassic Park area, but we couldn't film at the places we wanted to go.
The bus tour went to a different filming location with the buggies. I was a bit shocked, but the fun outweighed that.
I panicked a bit when I mistakenly put on the seatbelt wrong and the speed wouldn't pick up, but the instructor fixed it for me, and after that, everything went smoothly.
I didn't understand the English, but I had a great time.

汚れると思ったけど全然汚れませんでした。
撮影スポットでは3箇所まわりました。
ジュラシックパークの所を楽しみにしてましたが、行きたい所で撮影はできませんでした。
バスツアーの方がいっており、バギーはまた違う所で撮影でした。少しショックでしたがそれ以上に楽しさが勝ちます。
シートベルトをミスしてつけてるとスピードが出ず焦りましたが、インストラクターの方が直してくれてその後はスムーズに進行しました。
英語はわからなかったですが十分楽しめました。

I went to the location by rental car since it was mentioned that there was a validation service. When I showed the parking ticket to the staff and asked about it, I was told that the service is not available this year. It seems there was an error in the information provided, which is disappointing.
During the cruise, I was able to enjoy taking photos of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.
As the ship was returning to the port, there was an announcement at 9 o'clock that something would be visible, and the ship moved a bit, but then there was another announcement at 10 o'clock, unfortunately, I couldn't see it. It seemed that many others also missed it. Even if some people were able to see it, it appears that rescheduling is not guaranteed for those who couldn't, which is unfortunate.
It is very cold on the ship, so a jacket is a must.

バリデーションのサービスがあると記載されていたので、レンタカーにて現地へ向かいました。スタッフにパーキングチケットを見せて聞いたところ、今年はそのサービスはやっていないとの返答。記載内容に誤りがあるようで残念です。
乗船中は海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に撮ったりと楽しむことができました。
船が港へ戻る際9時に見えると放送があり少し船が動いたのでその後10時の方向と放送がありましたが、残念ながら見る事が出来ませんでした。他にも見れなかった方は沢山いたようでした。自身が見れなくても見ることのできた人がいればリスケジュールの保証外となるようで、残念でした。
船上はとても寒いので、上着必須です。

It was a fun experience at night in Waikiki. You can participate without a mask. After ordering a Blue Hawaii at the bar counter, I was able to enjoy the show.

The distance between the audience and the dancers was just right.

Men swam down from the ceiling, and there were performances featuring Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and hula, all packed into one exciting show. Time flew by as the energy continued to build.

At the end, there was a great bonus where you could take photos with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

ワイキキの夜の楽しい体験です。マスクなしで参加出来ます。バーカウンターでブルーハワイをオーダーしてから観劇出来ました。

観客とダンサー達の距離感がちょうど良く

天井から男性が泳いできたり
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソン　ファイヤーダンスにフラとてんこ盛り。盛り上がり続けてあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。

最後はエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンとお写真が撮れるという大サービスもありました。

always wanted to paddle out to the sandbar, but unfortunately picked the gale force wind day of the week to try it. On arrival seeing the white caps and some amateur kayakers struggling to paddle 10ft in the wind, basically paddling in place, I knew that this was going to be a rough adventure. Talking to the young staff girl, she stated that we could get a refund for the inclimate weather and typed it into the notes to the booker veltra. I said absolutely and we'll save this adventure for a different day. Thankyou state park girl, and because of that I would book this again.

After three years, I finally got to go on the sandbar tour!! The crew was fun, and I was satisfied to see many turtles! It was windy, but the hamburgers were delicious! Thank you!

3年ぶりにやっと行けたので、サンドバーツアーへ！！　クルーの皆さんが楽しくて、亀さんにもたくさん会えて満足です！風強でしたが、ハンバーガーもおいしかったです！ありがとうございました！

We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. The cruise was wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment.

Check in was simple and organized.

I was able to get my parking validated by purchasing coffee at a shop before checking in.

We saw a whale in the distance while on this cruise.
