All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Driving through the Kualoa Ranch was amazing! Driving the buggy was easy, similar to driving a golf cart, and I just needed to show my Japanese driver's license. The tour is primarily in English, but they provide a Japanese video beforehand. The guide's instructions were a bit difficult to follow. Since it's a buggy, there was a lot of dust, and I ended up really muddy from my face down to my pants.

実際に自分で運転して駆け抜けるクアロラランチ最高でした！
バギーの運転も日本の運転免許見せるくらいだったのと、ゴルフカートくらいの感覚で簡単でした。
ツアーは基本英語ですが、事前の日本語ビデオ見せてもらえます。ガイドさんの案内はリスニング難しかったです。
バギーなので砂埃が凄いので顔からスボンまで本当に泥だらけになります。

As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.

Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.

I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.

The pickup was on time, and there were no stops along the way to the destination. However, I had booked a transfer and admission ticket package, but the local list only showed the transfer. Since I had printed the voucher and brought it with me, I was able to show it to the local staff and receive my admission ticket, resolving the issue. I will use this service again.

ピックアップ予定時間通りにピックアップしていただけ、途中、立ち寄りもなく目的地への送迎をしていただけました。
ただ、送迎と入場券のコースを予約していましたが、現地のリストでは送迎のみになっていました。
バウチャーを印刷して持参していたので、それを現地係員に見せて、入場券をもらうことが出来て、問題解決です。
また利用します。

For about an hour, we just went around a muddy path.
The scenery was quite simple.
I would be satisfied if the price were about half...

約一時間、泥んこの道？をグルグル回るだけでした。
単純な風景ばかりでした。
半分くらいの料金なら納得ですが···

I felt a bit seasick on the boat, but it was a fun time. I got to know a Korean couple and we took pictures together. Thank you for the enjoyable time. "Thank you!"

船に若干酔いましたが楽しい時間でした。
韓国人のカップルとも仲良くなり写真の取り合いをしました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございます。
「感謝！」

Even a 5-year-old could fly! At first, he was scared, but the scenery was so beautiful that he said he had fun after flying.
However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication because the boat sways quite a bit and the waiting time is long.

The guide was very friendly and spoke to my son several times, who was feeling nervous. Since the landing is quite intense, if your child isn't okay with getting water on their face, it might be traumatic.

We were supposed to gather at 2:00 PM, but we ended up meeting at 2:30 PM, and we returned around 4:30 PM. Even if you gather early, I think it's fine to be cutting it close since there was quite a bit of waiting time.

5歳の子どもでも飛べました！最初は怖がっていましたが、景色がとてもきれいで、飛んだ後は楽しかったといっていました。
でも、船はかなり揺れるプラス待ち時間が長いために酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。

ガイドさんもとてもフレンドリーで、緊張している息子に何度も話しかけてくれました。
思いっきり着水するので、水が顔に濡れても平気な子でないとトラウマになるかもしれません。

時間は予定時刻よりかなり遅れて2時半集合でしたが、帰ってきたのは4時半ごろでした。はやく集合しても、待ち時間がかなりあったのでギリギリでも大丈夫だと思います。

Staff was awesome. Boat was comfortabe and accommodating. There were eight of us and we had a great time. Plenty of snacks and food.

It was disappointing that the planetarium was closed, possibly still due to the effects of COVID-19, but there were more exhibits than I expected, and the content was rich. I would like to visit again on a day when there are hula lessons.

まだコロナの影響があるのか、プラネタリウムが休止中で残念でしたが、思ってた以上に展示物が多く充実した内容でした。フラレッスンがある日にまた訪れたいです。

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend this! Really funny, informative and truly amazing talent.

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.

I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!

Mahola, Keoki! - Hunter

Five years ago, I was moved when I first saw this show, and on the last day of my trip to Hawaii after five years, I went again. Although I was in the second-floor seats (not reserved), I was only about ten meters away from the stage, and the seating was arranged theater-style, rising from the front to the back, so I could see the cast's expressions well. The reception at the show venue starts at 7 PM, the show begins at 7:40 PM, and ends at 9 PM. If you finish an early dinner and enter as soon as the reception starts, you can sit in a good seat right in front of the stage.

Due to the weak yen, the prices have gone up a bit, but compared to show prices in Japan, I think it's still a good deal. I especially recommend this show for fans of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The show is entirely in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can enjoy it thoroughly.

５年前に初めてこのショーを見て感激し、今回５年ぶりのハワイ旅行の最終日に再び出かけました。２階席（指定席ではない）とは言ってもステージから１０メートルくらいしか離れておらず、席は劇場スタイルに前方席から後方席にかけて高くなっているのでキャストの表情も良く見えます。ショー会場の受付開始が１９時、開演が１９時４０分、終演が２１時。ちょっと早めの夕食を済ませて、受付開始同時に入場出来ればステージ正面の良い席に座れます。
円安でちょっと料金は高くなりましたが、日本のショー料金と比べたら割安と思います。エルビスプレスリーのファンの方、マイケルジャクソンのファンの方には特におススメのショーです。ショーは全て英語ですが、英語が分からなくても十分楽しめるショーです。

It was a wonderful experience, just like the images suggest, or even better. The course is based on an English guide, but the female guide was very energetic and cute, and she warmly engaged with everyone, regardless of whether they were Japanese or not. If you're at the back of the line, it might be a bit hard to hear her, but she explains things as you go along.

The views of the mountains and sea, which you can't see in Japan, made the two hours fly by. I was really surprised at how smart the horses were. I had a strap around my neck for my smartphone, so I didn't have to worry about dropping it while taking plenty of photos. Photos are allowed, but videos are not. If you're going, I highly recommend the two-hour course.

イメージ写真の通りか、それ以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
英語ガイド前提のコースですが、ガイドの女性はとても元気で可愛くて、日本人、日本人以外にかかわらず明るく声を掛けてくれます。列の後ろの方だと少し声が届きづらいかもしれませんが、ポイントごとに説明をしながら進みます。
日本では見ることのできない山や海の景色であっという間の2時間。とにかく馬が賢くて驚きました。スマホは首からかけられるストラップを付けていたので、途中馬から落とす心配がなく思う存分写真が撮れました。写真OK、動画NGです。せっかく行くなら2時間コースがおすすめです。

We ended up adding a tour as we had so much fun! Really lovely ranch.

Really pretty to see the sunset sky, and to enjoy an evening in Waikiki

Arizona was an experience, I am so thankful I got to do this while I was here.

I was so scared I woud chcken out but what an experience!

Great Evening with a large community! The show was a blast

Fun evening, good singer very talented. Worth it to have an evening on the beautiful Hawaii waters!

My family had a blast, the kids got to get involved which was great

The premium seating was awesome for the value. Food is excellent, show was amazng.

Be prepared to hike a bit from line to line, but it is such a blast!

I used this for my honeymoon.
I had a great time and was very satisfied.
I'll write about the plan details and other specifics.

First of all, I felt that there was a shortage of tourists in Hawaii overall, which led to a shortage of staff.
This wasn't a complaint, but perhaps due to the lack of Japanese tourists, there were few staff members who could speak Japanese, making it a country where good English is necessary.
At the reception area, there was supposed to be a hula dancer, but unlike the photos on this site, there was only one person... (laughs)
Since there were few people at the reception, it felt a bit lonely, but they danced just for us when we asked, so I think that was lucky in a way.

I mentioned that there were few tourists, and this tour also had a small number of participants, so there was plenty of space. However, participants were seated closely together, so the distance was quite close.
Unlike in Japan, no one was wearing masks, so if you're concerned about that, I think you should bring your own mask.
Also, we were told to share pineapples at the table, so there was some interaction with the people at the same table.

Regarding the buffet food, it was set up in a way that you go to each table island to get food, so it didn't feel like a place where you could freely go back for seconds.
I apologize for my poor serving skills, but the food itself was quite delicious. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was also tasty, so I was satisfied.

Here are some photos from the Rock-a-Hula stage.
Not only hula dancing, but also impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were presented in chronological order.
Elvis felt a bit out of place due to the era, but for those in their late 20s, I think they would enjoy the Michael Jackson songs, as he only performed songs that people would recognize.
The venue can hold about 750 people, but I think there were only about 60 during our time.
It felt very sparse, and it seemed like the performers were dancing just for us.
After the show, my wife and I took a photo with Michael.

I wrote this roughly, but it was truly a fun tour.
The waiter during the meal was also dancing in the show, and I couldn't help but think it must be tough for them, but the content was wonderful.
It was sad to feel that such a great show had so few people.
It was so enjoyable that I definitely encourage everyone to participate in this tour.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
とても楽しかったので大満足でした。
プラン内容やその他の詳細書いていきます。

まずはハワイ全体として観光客不足で、それに伴って人手不足だったと感じました。
それが不満だったわけではないのですが、日本人観光客が少ないせいか、日本語を話せるスタッフも少なく、しっかり英語が必要な国になってます。
③受付スペースでフラダンスを踊ってくれていたのですが、このサイトの写真とは異なり1人だけでした、、。笑
そもそも受付している人が少ないので、少し寂しい印象でしたが、お願いすれば自分達のためだけに踊ってくれたので、それはそれでラッキーだったのかなと思います。

②観光客が少ないと書きましたが、このツアーもやはり参加者が少なく、スペースとしては余っていました。しかし、参加者同士は詰めて座らされるので距離はかなり近いです。
日本と違ってマスクしてる人なんていないので、そういうのを気にされる方はご自身でマスクをつけていくべきかと思います。
また、みんなでフラダンスを踊ったりするだけでなく、テーブルでパイナップルを分け合ってくれ、とも言われるので同じテーブルの人とは多少交流することになります。

④ビュッフェの料理ですが、テーブルの島ごとに並んで取りに行く感じなので何回も自由に取りに行く雰囲気ではないです。
私の盛り方が下手で申し訳ないのですが、ご飯自体はかなり美味しかったです。ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイも美味しかったので、満足です。

①ロック・ア・フラのステージの写真です。
フラダンスだけでなく、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンのモノマネが歴史を追って順々に披露されていく感じです。
エルビスは年代からズレているのでふーん、と言った感じでしたが、マイケルジャクソンは20代後半くらいであれば聞いたことある曲しかやらないので、楽しめると思います。
会場自体は750人入れるらしいですが、私たちの時は60人くらいだったと思います。
非常に少なく、演者の人たちが自分たちだけに踊ってくれているように感じました。
ショーの後、私と妻はマイケルと3ショットで写真を撮ってもらいました。

ザックリと書きましたが、本当に楽しいツアーでした。食事の時のウェイターの人が、ショーでも踊っていて、なんだか大変なのかなぁと思ってしまいますが、内容としては素晴らしいです。
こんなに良いショーなのにこんなに人が少ないなんて悲しい、、と感じてしまうほどでした。
とても楽しいので、ぜひ皆さんも参加していただきたいツアーです。

The voucher mentioned that water would be provided, so I thought it would be cumbersome to carry water while climbing the mountain and decided not to bring any. However, water was only available during lunch, and there were no places to purchase it. At first, I reluctantly started walking towards the waterfall, but it was very humid, and the incline was steeper than I had imagined, making it a tough journey. I took a short break along the way, and realizing that continuing without hydration would be a burden to others, I decided it was best to turn back. It seems that those who participated through HIS were informed in detail to bring their own water since it would only be provided at lunchtime. I believe it's necessary to include such detailed information for future participants. It was very disappointing as this was my husband's retirement trip, and it had been three years since our last visit to Hawaii.

バウチャーに水がいただけると書いてあったので、山に登るのに荷物になると思い水は持参しませんでした。しかし水をいただけるのは昼食の時で購入する場所も一切なくで、最初は仕方なく滝に向けて歩き始めましたがとても蒸暑く想像していたより傾斜がありハードな道のりでした。途中少し休憩をしたので水分補給なしでこのまま最後まで歩くのはかえって他の方に迷惑かかると思い無理と判断して引き返しました。HISから参加した方は細かく水は昼食時に渡すので持参してくださいと記載があったようでした。今後参加する方の為にも細かい記載は必要だと思いました。主人の定年退職記念旅行で３年ぶりのハワイだったので非常に残念でした。

This is my first time joining the Luau dinner with Polynesian Show. When we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greeting us. The Luau dinner was tasty. But the line was moving a bit slow. Buffet dinner was starting at 6pm, but when we started getting the food, it was already passed 6:30pm. Not enough time to enjoy the food.
The show was spectacular. Great music and dance including Polynesian and Contemporary choreography. The fire knife dance was scary awesome. I highly recommend this show if you are interested in a lively, entertaining night in Honolulu!

Honestly the best idea we had on this hawaii trip! Probably the best part was going all the way out to the sand bar and snorkeling until 4. I totally recommend doing this again.

I arrived an hour early, but I was able to join the previous group! We went parasailing right after getting on the boat. I didn't understand everything in English, but it seems like you can have photos taken and buy them later. When I participated, there were two groups of Japanese people and two groups of foreigners. Everyone was really friendly, and it was a lot of fun!

1時間前に到着してしまいましたが、1つ前のグループに参加させてもらえることができました！
船ですこし出たところですぐにパラセーリングでした。英語でわからなかったのですが、写真を撮ってもらって後から写真を買うこともできるみたいです。私が参加した時は日本人2組と、外国の方が2組でした。皆さんノリが良く、楽しかったです！

I was very healed by horseback riding while enjoying the great nature of Kualoa Ranch! The instructor guided us while explaining the history of Kualoa Ranch. The instructor was very attentive, checking occasionally if the length of the stirrups was okay, asking how I was feeling, and if I was tired! They also took photos for us! It was a 2-hour course, but it felt very long and was a satisfying tour!

クアロアランチの大自然を眺めながらの乗馬でとても癒されました！
インストラクターの方が、クアロアランチの歴史について説明しながら案内してくれました。インストラクターの方が、ときどき鎧の長さが大丈夫か確認してくださったり、気分はどうか、疲れてないか聞いてくださったりと丁寧な対応でした！写真も撮っていただけます！
2時間コースですが、とても長く感じる満足なツアーでした！

I highly recommend this tour. Anyone who has an interest in history will enjoy it. It was moving standing above the Arizona where World War II started and on the Missouri where the surrender agreement was signed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional.

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide
