All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I appreciated that the shuttle service to the hotel was included, and it was great that it was okay to be wet as long as I had a bath towel laid out. I chose the 150-meter option, and even as someone with a fear of heights, I was able to enjoy it. The local crew took beautiful photos with a single-lens camera, which made for even more memorable moments.

ホテルまでの送迎付きで、バスタオルさえ敷いていれば濡れていてもOKなのが有り難かったです。150メートルを選択しましたが、高所恐怖症でも楽しめました。現地クルーの方が一眼で綺麗に写真を撮ってくれたので、更に思い出になりました。

I was scared before it started, but it seems like I had fun when it was over. Now I want to try the 150m ride!

始まる前は怖がっていましたが
終わると楽しかったみたく
今度は150mに乗りたい言ってました^o^

I participated with my mother. The guide stayed close to my mother, who had trouble with her breathing technique, which allowed both of us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish spots, so we were able to see a variety of fish efficiently, which was great. The fish swam very close to us and were beautiful.

However, it happened to be a very cold day, so I gave it one star less. The tour itself was excellent.

母と二人で参加。上手く息継ぎできない母にずっとついてくださって、私も母も安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。魚のポイントもよくご存じなので、様々な種類の魚を効率よく見れて良かったです。魚もすぐ近くに泳いでいてとてもきれいでした。
たまたま、この日は非常に寒かったので星を一つとりました。ツアー自体は最高でした。

I participated on February 13. At first, I couldn't see anything at all, but after heading offshore, I saw it a couple of times, albeit small. Just like when I went dolphin watching before, it's really up to luck on the day. However, the weather was nice, and I was satisfied because I could see Diamond Head beautifully. The food was as expected, with limited variety and average taste. When I had dinner on the same boat before, the all-you-can-eat crab was really delicious, and there was a show, so I thought the evening experience might be more worthwhile.

2月13日に参加しました。
初めは全く見えませんでしたが沖合いに出てから二回ほど小さく見えました。
以前にイルカウォッチングに行った時と同じくこればかりは当日の運次第です。
でも天気が良くてダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見えたので満足です。
食事は予想通り種類も少なくてお味も普通です。
以前同じ船にディナーで乗った時のカニ食べ放題は本当に美味しくショーもあったのでやっぱり夜の方がお得かなと思いました。

Great choice for a whale watch especially if you have children or people in your group who are more sensitive to motion sickness. The thing that sets this whale watch apart from all the others is size and stability of the boat and all of the activities available on board while heading out to look for whales. This could almost be described as a fun Hawaiian tropical lunch cruise with whales. In addition to a delicious lunch buffet and frequent whale sightings there is also hula lessons, lei making and ukulele lessons. The captain and crew are always on the look out for whales, so while you are doing the activities the captain will announce which side of the boat the whales are on so you do not miss any of the whale action while eating or participating in the activities. With whales being wild animals and not always predictable in where they will be, having activities to keep the kids occupied makes this a great option for families

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.

Exploring Oahu can be so much fun and Germaine's Luau is one of them! Mind you, I have been to mostly all the Luaus on the island but not for Germaine's. I was only convinced to try when many of my "social media" friends were posting and saying good things about it.
I'm a local resident here, and three of my friends from the mainland came to visit so we decided to join the Luau. They took the bus transportation from Waikiki provided by Germaine's and I drove to meet them there. I checked-in half hour early which gave me ample time to explore around the area and take photos. It’s actually a very nice place! Beautiful private beachfront setting with a view of the spectacular sunset!
We ordered the Hibiscus Package which included 3 drink tickets that I was given immediately at the time of check-in. We had a nice center seating section, which provided a better viewing of the Polynesian entertainment. On our way to the bar and to the buffet line, my friends and I decided to leave our sandals under our bench table and went barefoot through the sand because it was difficult to walk in. It was still a fun night, your feet touching the sand makes it a unique Luau experience.
Their drinks..I think their cups are small but since I got 3, it was just good enough for me! The food was delicious, and lots of Polynesian entertainment! All of my expectations were met. Definitely recommended.

I was worried about what I would do if I couldn't see them, but I was able to see the baby whales multiple times!

見ることができなかったらどうしようと思っていましたが、子供のクジラを何度も見ることができました！

Out to sea by boat! At a distance of 150 meters, we went up and up, but without any fear, and we even saw whales. It was the best eight minutes. I participated in a one-piece swimsuit, but I didn't get wet and landed safely on the boat! The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! Thank you very much.

ボートで沖に！150ｍ選択で、上がる、上がる、
でも怖さ無く、鯨も見えて、最高の８分間でした。
ワンピースで参加しましたが、濡れず、
ボートに無事着地！スタッフさんも陽気で楽しかった！
ありがとうございました。

It was the kids' first surfing experience. My son was able to stand up on the board from the first day, and my daughter quickly learned to do the same. By the end, both kids were even riding while holding hands! If you want to start surfing, I recommend signing up here.

子供達の初サーフィンでした。
息子は、１本日から立てるようになり、娘もすぐに立てるようになりました。最後の方は、子供達二人で手を繋ぎながらのライディングまで出来るように！サーフィンを始めたいならこちらに申し込みをお勧めします。

There wasn't much explanation when we boarded, and it was a bit confusing, so I ended up sitting in a different area on another floor. After we set off for a while, we succeeded in seeing whales! We were able to see spouts and tails several times! There was an announcement about the direction, so I could quickly follow the whales with my eyes. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any jumps, and I wished we could have seen them a bit closer, but since they are wild animals, things don't always go as we hope. Still, I'm glad we got to see the whales!

乗船した時の説明があまりなかったのと分かりづらかったので違う階のスペースに座ってしまってました。出発してしばらく経つとクジラを見ることに成功！潮吹きや尾びれなど何回か見ることができました！何時の方向ってアナウンスがあるので、すぐにクジラを目で追うことが出来ました。残念ながらジャンプは見れませんでしたし、もう少し近くでも見れたらなぁと思いましたが自然や生き物ですから思う通りにはならないですよね。でもちゃんとクジラが見れて良かったです！

It was my first time surfing, and there was a staff member who was friendly and spoke Japanese well, which helped me manage to stand up! Since I had a one-year-old child, my husband and I took turns participating, but we managed to ride the waves about 5 or 6 times in total. The two hours flew by, and it was a wonderful experience! I was so into it that I didn't even notice they were taking photos. This time was beginner-friendly, so next time I’d like to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves!

初サーフィンでしたが、日本語が上手で気さくなスタッフさんが1人いらっしゃり、なんとか立ち上がれました！
一歳の子供がいたので主人と2人で交替しながらの参加でしたが、合計5,6回は波に乗れました。あっという間の２時間でしたが、とても良い経験ができました！
写真は撮られていることにも全く気付かないくらいでした。
今回は初心者向けだったので、次回はもう少し高い波にも挑戦してみたいです♪

The longest zip line on Oahu was truly exhilarating and amazing! The instructors were all friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere.

オアフ島最長のzip lineは本当に気持ち良くて最高でした‼️インストラクターの方々も気さくな人ばかりで場を盛り上げてくれます

It was exciting to go parasailing after a long time. The moment we went up, there was a bit of speed, but before I knew it, we were quite high up, and it felt amazing. The pickup and the entire process were smooth without any long waits. Since it was the first tour of the day, it was great for planning the rest of the day's activities.

久しぶりのパラセイリングでドキドキでした。
上に上がる瞬間は少しスピードがありましたが、あっという間にかなり高い所まであがり、すごく気持ちよかったです。
お迎えから終了まで特に待たされる事もなくスムーズな案内でした。
朝一のツアーなので、そのあとの予定も組みやすくて良かったです。

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky with light rain. The boat ride and the captain's performance were fun, but it really depends on the weather. The 150 meters was not scary at all; it could have been even higher, haha. It’s a bit chilly in the early morning, so a rash guard or something to wear is essential! Also, I asked for photos, but it seems there was a miscommunication? The person I was with also requested photos, but it seems that didn’t go through either, so we couldn’t buy any photos after all.

あいにくの曇り空とパラパラと雨。
ボートの移動やキャプテン？のパフォーマンスなどは楽しかったけれど、やはり天候次第でしょうか。150メートルは全然怖くなかったです。もっともっと高くてもいいかも笑
朝早くの方は肌寒いのでラッシュガードなど羽織りものは必須です！
あと写真お願いしたのに通じてなかった？一緒の方もお願いしていたのに、通じてなかったらしく、やはり写真は買えませんでした。

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean. The hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious!! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

海のきれいさに感動しました。
また船の上で食べるハンバーガーはとっても美味しかったです！！
またハワイに行った時は参加したいです。

My sister and I signed up for the tour, and on the day of the tour, there were four participants including two foreigners. The weather was completely different from the rain the day before; it was clear and relatively warm. Although there weren't large schools of fish, we saw some swimming around, which was very enjoyable! Additionally, we miraculously encountered a sea turtle, which was incredibly moving :) According to our guide, it had been about a month since the last sighting…! I was so happy. The water temperature was cold even with a wetsuit, and it was a bit murky when diving, possibly due to the rain the day before, but I was very satisfied. Our guide, Chieko, was cheerful and friendly, making it a very enjoyable tour. Thank you!

姉妹2人でツアーに申し込み、当日は外国人2名も合わせて4名の参加でした。この日は前日の雨とは打って変わって快晴で比較的あたたかく、大群とはいきませんでしたがお魚さんもそこらで泳いでいてとても楽しかったです！また、奇跡的にウミガメにも遭遇でき、大変感動しました:) ガイドさんによれば1ヶ月ぶりぐらいだとか…！嬉しかったです。水温はウェットスーツを着ていても冷たく、前日の雨のせいか潜ると少し白んでいましたがとても満足です。ガイドのちえこさんも明るく気さくに話してくださりとても楽しいツアーになりましたありがとうございました！

The captain will tell you the direction of the whale based on the time on the clock.

The observation deck on the third floor is crowded, so the first and second floors are easier to find a spot, which is nice.

時計の時間でキャプテンがクジラの方角を教えてくれます。

3階の展望デッキは人が多いので１階と2階が場所取りやすくていいですよ

First time I went on a boat, first time eating lobster, first time in Hawaii! Everything was perfect from A to Z!

I'm not afraid of heights, but at first, I was tense on the swaying launch platform. It was quite difficult to trust the safety belt. (laughs) By the third time, I got used to it and really enjoyed myself. In the second half, I started backward and even went upside down. Even as a couple in our sixties, we had plenty of fun. The view from the 800-meter launch platform became a great memory. Lastly, pulling myself up was tough, and my blood pressure went up quite a bit.

高所恐怖症ではないけど、揺れるスタート台に最初は力が入りました。
安全ベルトに身体を預けることが、なかなかできなかった。(笑)
三本目になると、慣れて、満喫しました。
後半には、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さまになったりしました。
還暦の私達（夫婦）でも十分に楽しめました。
800ｍのスタート台から見る景色はいい思い出になりました。
最後に、自分で自分を引上げるのは、大変で血圧が随分上がりました。

It seems that there are days when you may not encounter whales. On this day, they were also slow to appear. At the crew's words that they were around here, the multinational members all focused their eyes intently. Then, with a splash, they jumped! "Oh my God!" voices exclaimed. Everyone was moved by the sight of these mammals living in the ocean, beings so close to us. It was a tour that allowed us to empathize with the beauty of nature and the essence of life.

日によっては、クジラに遭遇できないこともあるそうです。
この日もなかなか出てきてくれません。あの辺にいるよとクルーの言葉に、多国籍メンバーが一斉に目を凝らす。と、水しぶきを上げてジャンプ！「オー・マイ・ガーッド」と声が上がる٩(^‿^)۶海中で生きる哺乳類、我々に近い存在の姿に参加者全員が感動。自然の素晴らしさと命に共感できるツアーでした。

Had the best day in spite of the rain. Anthony, Cord and Jenner made sure we were comfortable and entertained! Great BBQ lunch was a bonus

This was my first dinner show other than hula, despite having been to Hawaii over 20 times.

First, I received a pass to wear around my neck and was allowed priority entry after watching the hula from a special entrance. Then, I was taken to the green room of Elvis's dressing room. While enjoying some snacks and a welcome drink, I chatted and took photos with a beautiful performer, and then the manager came to guide us backstage.

After that, we had dinner at a table right in front of the stage. I wasn't expecting much from the meal, but it turned out to be one of the top three best course meals I've had in Hawaii—it was incredibly delicious.

Just as we finished our meal, the show began. The performance was fantastic, with not only singers but also dancers who performed not just hula but ballet as well. The music was impressive enough to satisfy even those of us who are particular about sound quality. Since our table was right in front of the stage, we could hear the singer's breathing and footsteps, which added to the excitement. At one point, Elvis came down from the stage, draped something like a scarf around my neck, and surprised me with a kiss on the cheek!

After the show, I was able to take photos with the stars at the exit using my own camera, and I got autographs on the photos taken in the green room. The hospitality, food, and show were all wonderful, making it a dreamlike experience.

ハワイは20回目以上ですがフラ以外のディナーショーははじめてでした。
まず首から掛けるパスをいただき、特別な入り口でフラを見てから優先入場させていただき、エルビスの楽屋のグリーンルームに通されます。
おつまみとウェルカムドリンクをいただきながらパフォーマーの美しいお姉さんとお話したり写真を撮ってもらっていると支配人が来られてバックステージを案内してくださいます。
その後ステージの目の前のテーブルで食事をいただきます。
その食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、ハワイで食べたコース料理の中でもベスト3には入るぐらいとってもおいしかったです。
ゆっくりと食事を終えた頃にショーが始まります。
このショーも、歌手はもちろん、ダンサーもフラだけでなくバレエなどもされているようなパフォーマンスで、演奏もちょっと音楽にはうるさい私たちも満足するすばらしさ。テーブルが舞台の目の前なので歌手の方の息使いや足音も聞こえて迫力満点でした。途中にエルビスが舞台から降りて来られ、首にスカーフのようなものを掛けてほっぺたにキスしてくれてビックリ!!
ショーが終わっても出口でスターと自分のカメラで写真をとっていただけ、グリーンルームで撮っていただいた写真にサインしてもらえました。
おもてなし、食事、ショー、どれをとってもすばらしくて夢のようなひとときでした。

It was my first time paragliding, and it was incredibly fun. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't do it solo (everyone had to go within an hour) and that it was only for 10 minutes, which was short.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたが最高に楽しかったです。ただ、残念なのは単独ではできなかったこと（1時間以内にすべての人を実施する）と10分間と短かったことです。

Don’t worry about the early pickup to get you to the west side of Oahu. After swimming with dolphins and seeing at least 10 whales including a mother and calf, you will be wide awake. Sleeping is for the shuttle back home after such a fun-filled adventure. Do it, you won’t regret it!

We departed from the ship and gradually increased in height while enjoying the wind. I chose the 150m plan, and I felt almost no fear, fully enjoying the views of Hawaii's cityscape and mountains from the sea. The round-trip transportation was provided by someone who spoke Japanese, and I was able to hear helpful advice about shopping and other useful information.

船上から出発して、風を見ながら徐々に高さが増していきました。150mのプランにしましたが、恐怖心はほとんどなく、海上からハワイの街並みや山を満喫できました。
往復の送迎は日本語の分かる方で、買い物のアドバイスなど、参考になる話を聞かせていただけました。

I was able to encounter eight whales safely. I was surprised that we could see them without going too far after departure. Thanks to that, we didn't have to rush the boat around searching for whales, and I didn't get seasick. A baby whale was jumping and playing several times. It’s quite difficult to take good photos.

無事に8頭のクジラに出会えました。出航後あまり遠くにも行かないで見られたのにはびっくり。おかげで船が疾走してクジラを探し回ることもなく、船酔いもせずに済みました。子クジラが何度もジャンプして遊んでいましたよ。写真を上手く撮るのはなかなか難しいです。

A horseback riding experience that you can't enjoy in Japan. Above all, riding in the vast land felt stress-free for the horses, and they walked calmly. The course was familiar to the horses, and I was impressed by how smart they were.

日本では味わえない乗馬体験。何よりも広大な土地での乗馬は、馬もストレスなく、歩いてくれる感じ。
コースも馬が知っていて、お利口なお馬に感激でした。

The round-trip boat ride was thrilling and a lot of fun, with plenty of speed. The weather was great, with a nice breeze, making it perfect for sailing. Even taking photos with my smartphone brought a smile. It's a unique experience that you can't usually have, and I highly recommend it for those who love heights.

往復のボートもスピードを出してくれてスリル満点でとても楽しかった。
お天気も良く、適度に風がふいて、絶好のセイリング日和でした。
スマホで撮影してもニッコリ
普段できない、体験を味わえて、高いところが大好きな方には、おススメです。

I participated with nine friends.
There was a guide who was familiar with Japanese, and the humorous people made it a wonderful memory!
It was my first time surfing, and I really appreciated the guide who joyfully celebrated when I caught a wave, as well as the guide who took photos for us. Thank you!
The shallow water and the many cuts from the coral are also part of the memories.

友達9人で参加しました。
日本語に慣れてるガイドさんがいたり、楽しませてくれるユーモアな方々で素敵な思い出になりました！
初めてのサーフィンでしたが波に乗れたことを全力で喜ぶガイドさん、写真撮ってくれるガイドさん、ありがとうございました！
浅く、サンゴで生傷が多々出来たことも思い出です。
