All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I surprised my daughter with a lei service, and she was shocked and very happy. Coming to Hawaii really lifted her spirits. Since they were fresh flowers, I couldn't bring them back to Japan, but they made for great memories in photos.

娘にはサプライズでレイサービスをうけたので，彼女はビックリ，とても喜んでいました。ハワイに来たんだと，一気に気分が盛り上がりました。生花なので，日本には持って帰れませんでしたが，写真に撮りよい思い出になりました。

I felt安心 (safe) with Veltra again this time.

It seems that there are no activities in Japan where you can ride on the back or belly of a dolphin, so I think it's irresistible for dolphin and animal lovers. I was nervous before it started, but Mike, who explained in Japanese, was kind and thorough, and he watched over us, so by the time it began, I was excited. Trainer Maria was energetic and gentle, and I was able to relax and have a truly great experience. It was a Halloween event, but since it was sunny, it wasn't cold (it was cold after taking a shower, though), and once I got dressed, my hair dried quickly, so there were no problems at all.

Veltraさんで今回も安心できました。

日本ではイルカの背中やお腹に乗るアクティビティはないようなので、イルカや動物好きにはたまらないと思います。
始まるまで緊張していましたが、日本語の説明のマイクさんが親切丁寧に説明して下さって、見守ってくれたので、始まる頃にはワクワクしてきて、トレーナーのマリアさんは元気で優しく、リラックスして本当に良い体験ができました。
ハロウィンの参加でしたが、晴れていたので寒くなく(シャワーを浴びると寒かったですが)服を着たら髪もすぐ乾いて何の問題もなかったです。

They picked me up on time at the hotel lobby. The driver was a very fun man. I had a great time with the multinational people who shared the same boat. Motion sickness medication is a must. And above all, the boat staff were the best! They were playful and fun! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely do this again.

時間通りホテルのロビーに迎えに来てくれました。ドライバーの方大変楽しい男性でした。同じボートに同乗した多国籍の方々とも和気あいあい、盛り上がりました。酔い止め薬は必須です。そして何と言ってもボートのスタッフさん最高！
お茶目で楽しい！　ハワイに行く事があったら是非またします。

The captain was very fun and made us feel relaxed. I had asked him not to drop me in the water (the sea), but it felt like he expertly adjusted it so that only my lower body, or rather my butt, would touch the water—probably on purpose. It was a laughing and enjoyable time.

キャプテンがとても楽しい方で和みました。水(海)に落とさないでとお願いしてたのに絶妙にお尻というか下半身だけ水につくよう調整された気がします、たぶんわざとかと。笑って楽しい時間でした。

My husband wanted to try parasailing last time, but I really couldn't do it, so he held back. This time, I prepared myself for tears and took on the challenge. I decided to go for 150 meters based on reviews. Until the moment I took off, I was really scared and trembling, but once I was in the air, it felt so light and the view was incredibly beautiful, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! I didn't add on photo shooting, but I thought it might have been nice to have a keepsake! I interacted with the others on the boat and we took pictures of each other during the flight, so I recommend that too. It's definitely an activity I want to do again! I think motion sickness medication is a must.

主人が前回したいと言っていましたが私が本当にダメで我慢してもらったパラセーリング。今回は泣くの覚悟で挑みました。口コミを参考にどうせならと150メートル。自分が飛ぶ瞬間までは本当に恐怖で震えていましたが飛んでみるとふわっとして景色がすごく綺麗なので自分でも驚く程楽しむ事が出来ました！写真撮影の追加はしなかったのですが記念にしても良かったかなと思いました！乗り合わせた方々とやりとりして飛ぶ瞬間を撮りあったりしたのでそんなのもオススメです(^^)是非またやりたいアクティビティです♪酔い止めは必須かと思います(^^)

If you come to Honolulu, this is the number one thing you should do! The view is amazing, and the staff are very friendly, so I was able to enjoy it with my friends without any worries! I want to do it again!

ホノルル来たら
これはやった方が良いナンバー1！
景色も最高だし
スタッフの方がとても親切で
不安なく友達と楽しめました！
またやりたいです！

I saw about 10 sharks really close up. It was more thrilling than I expected, and it was amazing.
The worst part was the seasickness. The boat on the way there rocked so much that it felt extreme, like waves you wouldn't normally encounter in Japan. We forgot, but taking motion sickness medication is a must. Even with it, the experience might still make you feel nauseous.

サメは、すごく近くに10匹程度みえます。思っていた以上の迫力で、最高でした。
最悪なのは、船酔い。特に行きの船は、これでもかってくらい、揺れます。日本では、まず出向しないくらいの波です。私たちは、忘れてしまいましたが、酔い止め必須です。あっても、あれは、酔うかもしれないレベルです。

There were few fish, and the only things to see were artificial structures and a sunken ship. I started to feel sleepy. The only time I got excited was when I was on the boat heading to the submarine, feeling the wind... I think it would have been more enjoyable if there had been more marine life. This isn't really the tour company's fault, though...

魚も少ないし見るものと言えば人工的に沈めた枠とか沈没船かな。眠くなってしまいました。テンションが上がったところと言えば潜水艦に向かう船で風に吹かれてるときかな・・・。もう少し生き物がいてくれたら楽しかったと思う。こればっかりはツアー会社のせいじゃないけど・・・。

Make sure to bring plenty of water! I think it's best to have at least 500ml per person! Wear sneakers and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and bring a towel to wipe off sweat. Don't forget sun protection if you don't want to get sunburned! Even though there was assistance, I felt it was quite a tough tour. I had been eating a lot of heavy food during the trip, so I thought, "This is good exercise!" The guide was creative and made it exciting, and we were able to take many great photos at the shooting points! Other activities looked really fun too, so I definitely want to go again!

必ず水分を持って行って下さい！
1人500ml以上はあった方がいいと思います！
汚れてもいいスニーカー服装と汗ふくタオル
日焼けしたくない人は対策忘れずに！
アシスト付きとはいえ
まぁまぁタフなツアーだと感じました。
旅行中ボリューミーなものばかり食べて居たので
いい運動！と頑張りました。
引率の方が工夫して盛り上げてくれて
撮影場所のポイントでいい写真がたくさん撮れました！
他のアクティビティもとても楽しそうだったのでまた行きたいと思います！！

Since there are good options available, I think it would be better to include the details on the tour page.

The photos and videos were $79. Groups that opted for this option wear special rubber bands, which allows them to receive priority for photos. I was satisfied with the results. However, picking up the USB at the office near DFS the next day was a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could send it to Japan for an additional $15.

The wetsuit was $10. I tend to get hot, but it was a good decision to wear it. The seawater was quite cold.

せっかく良いオプションがあるので、
詳細をツアーページに記載した方がよいと思います。

写真&動画は$79でした。
このオプションを申し込んだグループは専用のゴムバンドを身に着けます。
そうする事で優先的に写真をとってくれます。出来栄えは満足です。
ただ翌日以降にUSBを
DFS付近のオフィスに受け取りにいくのがちょっとめんどう。
+$15で日本に送ってくれるような・・・

ウエットスーツ
$10でした。
暑がりですが着ておいて正解でした。
結構、海水が冷たかったです。

You don't need to arrive before the reception time since others are quite relaxed about it. It's not a first-come, first-served situation...

Once the submarine dives, it stabilizes, so I didn't feel nauseous or experience any pressure changes. I joined a tour without a Japanese guide, but if you're just looking to enjoy the ocean, it's not a problem.

The handsome guide, Jordan, was hard to understand at all. I found the earphone guide a bit bothersome and took it off halfway through. I was satisfied to see turtles and sharks.

受付時間前に行かなくても他の方がルーズなので大丈夫です。早い者勝ちとかではないので・・・
潜水艦は潜ると安定してるので気持ち悪くなったり気圧が変になることはなかったです。
日本語ガイドがいないツアーに参加しましたが、純粋に海を楽しむなら問題ないです。
イケメンガイドさんのジョーダンが全く分からないくらいです。イヤホンガイドは途中面倒くさくて外してしまいました。亀やサメも見れて満足です。

You can enjoy parasailing, and since you go out into the bay by boat, you can view Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Although Japanese is not spoken, the staff is accustomed to Japanese guests, so I think you don't need to worry.

パラセイリングはもちろん、ボートで湾内に出るので、海側からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めることができます。日本語は通じませんが、スタッフの方が日本人に慣れているので心配ないと思います。

We participated as a family of five on the 90m ride. Our children are 8 and 6 years old, and the 8-year-old brother, who isn't a fan of roller coasters, ended up crying on the boat and couldn't go on. Instead, I went twice. The younger child said it was fun and wants to do it again. If you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take something beforehand!

90ｍに家族5人で参加しました。
子供は8歳と6歳で8歳のお兄ちゃんは元々ｼﾞｪｯﾄｺｰｽﾀｰなど好きではないので案の定船の上で大泣きで出来ませんでした。
その代わりに私が2回飛びました。
下の子は楽しいと言ってもう一回やりたいと言っています。
船酔いする方はあらかじめ飲んでいった方が良いかも！！

The weather was clear, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above, experiencing sights that can't be seen from the ground. It felt like I was a bird.

We paired up and had about a 10-minute aerial walk. There wasn't unnecessary conversation, but if you wanted, they offered to take photos and provided a chapon service, which was efficient and nice.

We boarded the boat with six pairs and took turns parasailing, but since there was some waiting time on the boat, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication about 30 minutes before boarding.

Since the location was in the developing Ward area, we declined the return shuttle and enjoyed lunch at the newly opened Merriman's in Waikiki before heading back.

It was a memorable day in Hawaii. Thank you, Veltra!

天気は快晴、空からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡せ、地上からは見られない景色を堪能しました。
まるで鳥になった気分です。
2人一組、だいたい10分程度の空中散歩です。
必要以上な会話はないけれど、希望すれば写真やチャポンサービスしてくれたりと、サービスに無駄がなくよかったです。
わたしたちは、6組が一緒に船に乗り込み、順番にパラセーリングしましたが、船上での待ち時間があるので、酔いやすい方は乗船30分前くらいに酔い止めをのまれることをお勧めします。
場所は、開発の進むワード地区であった為、帰りの送迎は遠慮し、ワイキキに新しくオープンしたメリマンズで昼食を満喫し帰りました。
ハワイでの思い出に残る一日になりました。
ベルトラさんありがとうございます。

Chief's Luau was such a fun experience. The chief was such a funny person and made me laugh the entire time during the luau. The show was very intriguing, the Chief likes to have the audience take part in the show which made the experience personal. The weather was great the day I went so there was no rain at all which helped make the experience more enjoyable. The food was okay it wasn't something extraordinary but it was still good. My favorite part of the luau was when the chief had a special segment where he recognizes couples on their honeymoon and couples who have been married for a long time. The chief also helped someone propose to his love. He really acknowledges family and makes sure that everyone has a good time while they are at the luau. I would definitely recommend this luau to families and couples. 

We participated with our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was their first time snorkeling, and it was only my second time since our honeymoon. We considered various Hanauma Bay tours and snorkeling by boat, but we chose this one because of its high ratings. Since it was just the four of us that day, our 6-year-old was taken out to the ocean, and we even got to see a honu! It was so lucky that it came up for air while we were watching it sleep. After a long time away from the ocean, I struggled with breathing through my mouth for an hour, but we had a special experience as a family! Before we went out, we debated whether we would see dolphins or turtles, but as beginners, we were glad we chose this. We became big fans of the turtles and bought a turtle plushie to take home. We also had many photos taken! Thank you very much.

6歳と9歳の子供連れて参加しました。子供達は初シュノーケリング、親も新婚旅行以来の二回目です。 色んなハナウマ湾ツアー、船に乗ってのシュノーケリングと迷いましたが、評価が高かったのでこちらにさせていただきました。 この日は私達四人だけということもあり、6歳の次男も沖まで連れていってくれて、ホヌにも会えました！ しかも寝てた所を息継ぎをしに上まで上がってきてくれたり、とてもラッキーでした。 久しぶりの海、一時間口呼吸で必死でしたが(私が)、家族で特別な経験をさせてもらいました！ 出かける前はイルカか？カメか？？と散々悩みましたが、初心者の私達はこちらにして良かったです。すっかりカメちゃんファンになってウミガメのぬいぐるみをかって帰国しました。
写真も沢山撮っていただきました！ありがとうございました。

I participated at my sister's request to see dolphins!
We had an early departure, so I was very sleepy, but the kind and cool staff, along with the sweet and lovely team, made the time on the boat enjoyable.
We were able to swim with both dolphins and turtles safely!
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you so much.
I am truly grateful to all the staff led by Shota.
If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.
The pineapple we ate together after coming back from the sea and the warm drinks were also very delightful.

イルカに逢いたいという妹の希望で、
参加しました！
朝早い出発で、とても眠かったですが
優しくてカッコいいスタッフさんと
優しくて可愛いスタッフさん方が、
船での時間を盛り上げてくださり
無事イルカとカメ両方と泳ぐことができました☆
とても素敵な思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございます。
ショウタさん筆頭とするスタッフの皆様には
感謝しかないです^ ^
また機会がありましたら
宜しくお願い致します。
海からあがった後の皆で食べたパイナップル、
あたたかい飲み物もとても嬉しかったです。

I was unsure at first, but choosing the VIP course was definitely the right decision. You can get excited right away at the VIP entrance with the red carpet. The dinner was delicious and the portion size was just right; I was almost completely satisfied except for the drinks being a bit weak. In the VIP seats, the cast comes down to the floor, creating a great sense of connection with the stage. You can take photos as long as you don’t use a flash! I thought it was a show that truly represents Hawaii.

迷いましたがVIPコースで大正解でした。レッドカーペットのVIP入場口でまず盛り上がれます。ディナーもおいしく量もちょうどよく、ドリンクが薄いこと以外はほぼ満足でした。ＶＩＰ席はキャストがフロアまで下りてきてくれるので、舞台と一体感がありますよ。フラッシュ無しであれば撮影もＯＫ！ハワイならではのショーだと思いました。

I was looking forward to this for the first time.
The following are my shortcomings.

I usually don't get seasick, so I didn't bring any motion sickness medication, but
the waves were strong, and we took a small boat to the parasailing location, so

I felt really nauseous...

Even during parasailing, the wind made it shaky, so
I felt terrible.

Finally, when returning from parasailing to the boat, I was dropped into the sea,
and I wish that hadn't happened. (laughs)

初で楽しみにしていました。
以下は私の落ち度です。

普段船酔いしないので酔い止めは持っていかなかったのですが
波が強く小型のボートでパラセーリングの場所まで行くので

すごく気持ち悪かったです、、、、

パラセーリング中も風で揺れるので
気分が最悪でした。

最後パラセーリングから船に戻る時海の中にぽちゃんと
されたのでやめて欲しかったです。笑

There were also 2 or 3 sea turtles that we could see, and on the sandbar, the staff actively took photos for us.

It was a lot of fun!

ウミガメも２・３頭いて見ることができ、
サンドバーでは積極的にスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれて

とても楽しかったです。

There are significant price differences for jet ski rentals among various tour companies, which made it quite difficult to decide. However, based on reviews and past experiences, I chose Veltra, and I think it was the right decision. The pick-up service was smooth, and I had a great time. They also offer photos and videos taken with a GoPro for sale, but they don't push it on you, which was nice.

ジェットスキーは各ツアー会社で価格に差があり結構悩みましが、クチコミや今までの体験からベルトラさんに決め、正解だったと思います。送迎もスムーズで楽しく過ごせました。写真や動画もGoProで撮影したものを販売してくれますが、ゴリ押しではありません。（そこも良かった）

I participated as a female single. The briefing before getting on was easy to understand, which made me feel secure about joining. If possible, I would have liked to go faster.

女性のシングルで参加しました。
乗る前のレクチャーもわかりやすく安心して参加できました。
出来ればもっとスピードを出したかったです。

I was considering a show at the Polynesian Cultural Center located in the northeast of Oahu, but I made a reservation for this dinner show at the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is very conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki. The female singer's vocal ability, the impersonator of Michael Elvis, and the dancers' sharp performances provided an emotional entertainment experience from start to finish. The show also featured hula and fire dancing, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. The meal included a lobster appetizer and a double main of salmon steak, which was quite substantial. The service staff were also very pleasant.

オアフ島北東にあるポリネシアカルチャーセンターのショーを検討していましたが、こちらのディナーショーはワイキキの真ん中にあるロイヤルハワイアンセンターというアクセスがとても便利なロケーションなので予約しました。女性シンガーの歌唱力やマイケル・エルビスのそっくりさん、ダンサーたちのキレキレのパフォーマンスで最初から最後まで感動のエンターテイメントでした。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも散りばめられて、ハワイの雰囲気もしっかり味わえました。食事はロブスターの前菜とサーモン・ステーキのダブルメインでボリュームたっぷり。サービススタッフも感じがよかったです。

I had such a good time! The weather was perfect and the instructors were great! I would recommend them again.

Last time, I participated with my husband, and this time we joined as a family of four. Previously, we were taken to a deserted island with a guide, but this time we chose a self-guided course. We carried the kayaks to the beach ourselves (after renting snorkeling gear) and went from Kailua Beach to the deserted island, then to Lanikai Beach (for snorkeling), and back to Kailua Beach. The wind was strong, so the beautiful Lanikai Beach was filled with sand, making visibility zero, and kayaking against the wind was extremely hard. However, the weather was nice and the scenery was great, so it turned out well in the end. There are many Japanese staff members and staff who can speak Japanese, which is very reassuring.

前回は旦那さんと2人で
今回は家族4人で参加しました。
前回は、ガイド付きで無人島まで連れて行って貰いましたが今回はガイド無しのコースで
ビーチまでカヤックを運ぶところから終始自分達で(シュノーケリングのセットを借りて)
カイルアビーチ→無人島→ラニカイビーチ(シュノーケリング)→カイルアビーチ
風が強かったので折角の綺麗なラニカイビーチは砂が舞って視界ゼロ&向かい風でのカヤックは超ハード
でも、天気良し景色良しで結果オーライ
日本人のスタッフさんと日本語を話せるスタッフさんがたくさん居るので色々と安心です

Since it wasn't peak season, the facilities were not crowded, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time. However, there were some areas that were busy at certain times. Considering that the shuttle service took some time, it might be more efficient to use a rental car to get there.

ピークシーズンでなかったので、施設は空いていて待ち時間もなく楽しめた。ただ、時間帯によっては空いていない場所もあった。
送迎に時間がかかのでその点を考慮するとレンタカーで現地に行った方が時間を有効活用できるかもしれない。

I have experienced horseback riding three times. Of those, two times were at the Kualoa Ranch. Riding through the mountains and grasslands felt great, but I really wanted to ride along the beach in Hawaii. This time, none of the owners (the representatives) spoke Japanese. Just before we started, there was a severe thunderstorm, and they communicated with us using a translation app on their smartphones to decide whether to cancel or not, keeping an eye on the situation until the time came. When the rain eased up a bit, we began our ride. Once we started walking, we were greeted with a stunning blue sky. Our wet horses and our clothes dried completely, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely ride. By the way, there is no shuttle service, so we rented a car to get there. As everyone mentioned, the entrance is a bit hard to find.

乗馬は3回体験済み
その内、2回はクアロアランチの牧場内での乗馬
山の中や草原の乗馬も気持ち良かったけれど、やっぱりハワイはビーチ沿いをライドしたくて
今回はこちらで、オーナーさん(代表の方)？達は皆さん日本語が話せる方が誰も居なく
そして、直前まで雷雨が凄く中止にするかどうかをスマホの翻訳アプリを駆使しながらやりとりをしてくれて
時間まで様子見
雨が少し収まってきたところで乗馬開始
歩き始めたら見事なほどの青空
ビショビショだったお馬さんと私達の服もすっかり乾いてのんびりと乗馬をする事が出来ました。
因みに、送迎は無いので私達はレンタカーを借りて行きました。皆さん書いていたように入り口は少し分かりづらいです

I ordered show tickets only (with a photo option on a backing card) for my 0-year-old child. We entered as soon as the doors opened and first took some photos. After that, we sat in the free seating area, but it's better to arrive early to get a good spot. Since I had a child with me, I planned to change the diaper in the venue's restroom, but there was no changing table, so be careful. I had to go outside to find a restroom on the same floor. This was my second time at the show, and it was fun because the cast seemed to change frequently. This time, there was Presley, Michael, and a female singer from Hawaii?

0歳の子連れでショーチケットのみ（台紙付き写真オプション）を頼みました。開場と同時に中に入り、まずは写真を撮影します。
そのあと自由席で着席するのですが、早めに行く方が良い場所を取れます。
子連れだったのでおむつ替えを会場トイレでしようと思ったのですがおむつ替えの台がないので要注意、一旦外に出て同じフロアのトイレに行きました。
ショーは2回目ですが、キャストが色々変わるみたいで楽しかったです。
今回はプレスリー、マイケル、ハワイ出身の女性歌手？でした。

Elvis Presley is from a different generation, but Michael Jackson really got the crowd going. It was fun with a mix of hula dancing and fire dancing. I chose to attend the show only without the buffet, and that was enough. Although we were told to gather at 7:30, we had to wait a bit until the show started at 8. I think it would have been nice to enter the venue a little earlier than 8.

エルビスプレスリーは世代が違うのですが、マイケルジャクソンは盛り上がりました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも入り混ざってて楽しかったです。
ビュッフェなしショーのみの観覧を選択しましたが、十分でした。7時半集合との事でしたが、8時のショー開始まで少し待たされました。8時まえに会場入りしてもよかったかなと思います。

I went to see it with my mother 25 years ago, and it became a wonderful memory. This time, we decided to go again after a long while. The food was very delicious. The stage performances, with live bands, featured amazing singing and dancing. I was happy to feel like I met the late Michael, and IZ's singing voice was also remarkably similar. Both Elvis and Michael had powerful voices even with their intense dancing, and I thought they were true professionals. There were also hula and Polynesian dances, allowing for a variety of enjoyable elements. This time also became a great memory. The people at the table next to us mentioned it was their second time during this trip. I highly recommend it!

25年前に母と二人で見に行き楽しい思い出になっています。
今回久しぶりに行ってみようと言うことになりました。
お食事はとても美味しかったです。
ステージも生バンドに合わせて歌やダンスが素晴らしかったです。
亡くなったマイケルに会えたようで嬉しかったし、IZの歌声もそっくりでした。
エルビスもマイケルも激しい踊りでもとても声量がありプロだなぁと思いました。フラやポリネシアンダンスもあり色々な要素で楽しめます。
今回もいい思い出になりました。
お隣のテーブルの方はこの旅行中に2回目だと話していました。
おススメです！
