All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Although we couldn't see the main attraction, the whale, I was overall satisfied. The view of Diamond Head from the boat was very beautiful! Also, the explanations provided by the staff were interesting, and the banana cake they handed out was really delicious!

肝心の鯨は見れませんでしたが、全体的には満足でした。船から見えるダイヤモンドヘッドはとっても綺麗でした！また、スタッフさんがしてくださる説明も面白く、配られるバナナケーキもとっても美味しかったです！

It was a wonderful experience to see mother and baby whales multiple times! My 3-year-old child enjoyed it very much. The crew only speaks English, but they use pictures for explanations and simplify their language (like using words such as "baby") when talking to us, so we could understand somewhat. Additionally, the menu and explanation sheet on the table, as well as the announcements and explanations, are available in Japanese. When there was an announcement about the whales appearing, everyone moved quickly, so even if I couldn't catch everything, I understood what was happening, haha.

The banana bread was very delicious! Tea, coffee, and water are free, while alcohol and juice are available for a fee. They also provide coloring books and workbooks for toddlers.

The restroom on the boat is spacious enough for wheelchair access, so it was no problem for parents to assist their toddlers inside. I had a preconceived notion that a boat restroom might be dirty like a public restroom, but it turned out to be a stylish and clean restroom with nice tile walls.

親子の鯨を何度も見ることができて、とてもいい体験でした！3歳の子供もとても楽しんでいました。
クルーは英語しか話しませんが、写真を使った解説や、こちらに向けて話す時は簡単な英語（babyなど）にしてくれるのでなんとなくわかります。また、テーブルに置いてあるメニュー表兼説明書と、放送での注意説明や解説は日本語もあります。あと鯨が現れたアナウンスがあった時はみんながワッと移動するので聞き取れなくてもわかります笑
バナナブレッドがとても美味しかったです！紅茶、コーヒー、水はフリーで、アルコール・ジュースは有料です。
幼児向けに塗り絵やワークブックを渡してくれます。
船内にあるトイレは車椅子でも入れるように広いので、親が入って幼児の介助をするのも問題ありませんでした。船のトイレというと公衆トイレみたいに汚いかなとなんとなく思っていましたが、壁のタイルがおしゃれな綺麗なトイレでした。

This was an awesome tour! Our tour guides were amazing and shared some incredible stories about the ranch, the movies and the island itself.

I had such a great experience eight years ago that I can honestly say I came to Hawaii just for this. The course has changed a bit since my last visit, and it was nice to see different places. There was a photographer who took pictures of each person, and they were available for purchase afterward. This time, the guide took photos with their own phone during the ride, and I received them via AirDrop afterward. The photos turned out really well. There are no guides who speak Japanese. Since the horseback riding lasts for two hours, if you're concerned about sunburn, it's essential to apply sunscreen on your face as well.

8年前に体験してとても良かったので、今回はこの為にハワイへ来たと言ってもいいくらいです。
前回とコースが少し変わっていてまた違うところを見れて良かったです。
カメラマンがいて一人一人写真を撮ってくれ、終わったあと販売されているのですが、今回のガイドさんは、途中でご自身の携帯カメラで写真を撮ってくれ、終わったあとAirDropで貰えました。とても良い写真でした。
日本語を話せるガイドさんはいません。
2時間の乗馬なので、日焼けを気にされる方は顔にも日焼け止め必須です。

It was an English-only tour, but I participated without knowing any English at all. The guide explained everything in easy-to-understand English and made it incredibly enjoyable! If you're debating between this and a buggy, I definitely recommend this one! The bicycles are electric and have a mode for uphill, so it's super easy!

英語のみのツアーになりますが、英語が全く分からない状態で参加しました。
ガイドの方が分かりやすい英語で説明してくれ、めちゃくちゃ楽しませてくれました！
バギーと迷っているなら断然こちらをオススメします！
自転車も電動で、坂道用のモードもあるので、ラクラクです♪

Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

Our boat captain was terrific, we were able to see two species of whales, many dolphins 3 turtles from the boat and two more snorkeling. Not sure how it could have been any better. Best thing we did in Hawaii

The buggy experience is wonderful. You can enjoy it even if you don't know the movie. A person who speaks Japanese will explain things before check-in after you arrive. However, once the buggy experience starts, it will be in English only. But you can generally understand it. The buggy doesn't go for a full two hours without stopping; it stops at power spots along the way. Also, the bus driver for the shuttle was very lively and provided guidance throughout the drive.

バギー体験は素晴らしいです。映画を知らなくても楽しめます。日本語を喋れる人は到着後チェックイン前に説明をしてくれます。しかし、バギー体験が始まると英語のみになります。でも、大体わかります。バギーも2時間ぶっ通しではなく、パワースポットごとに停止します。
あと、送迎のバスの運転手がノリが良くて終始運転しながらガイドしてました。

We will take a boat to the sea at Waikiki, and during that time, we can see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki. There aren't many fish in the waters of Waikiki, but there are a lot of fish around the sunken ship, which is very interesting. When you take photos, they come out a bit blue and are somewhat hard to see, but if you actually see it, you can tell that the sea is beautiful. The interior of the ship is a bit cold. However, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I don't think I'll have such an experience again.

船でワイキキの海に行きますが、その間にダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。ワイキキの海の中はあまり魚はいないですが、沈没船の周りには多くの魚がおり、非常に面白いです。写真を撮ると青みがかかり、少し見にくいですが、実際に見れば美しい海だと言うことがわかります。艦内は少し寒いです。ただ、本当に素晴らしい体験でしたし、こんな経験は2度とできないでしょう。

It had been a while since my last trip to Hawaii. I always made sure to schedule a dinner show on the last day, but this time it coincided with the fireworks on Friday, so I decided to change the date. Since it was only the second day and I had an early morning tomorrow, I planned to keep it light and not order any alcohol. However, I ended up chatting with a Japanese couple at my table and joined in on their drinks.

I believe one of the joys of traveling is being able to hear stories and recommendations directly from those who have experienced various things. Anyway, the show was very entertaining. If it had been purely a Polynesian-style show, I might have dozed off due to jet lag and the early wake-up, as the music was quite soothing. However, the cast provided an entertaining performance that felt like a mini concert.

I particularly enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment, as I belong to that generation but had never been to one of his concerts, so I purely enjoyed the dance and singing. The couple I sat with seemed to be from the Elvis Presley generation, and they enjoyed it just as much.

The VIP package included drinks during the show, which was a nice touch. The food was also quite suitable for Japanese tastes, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the buffet offered additional servings, it was so plentiful that I could hardly finish anything other than dessert.

I received a lei at the hotel and got another one here to take home. The scent of the flowers lingered in my room, and since it was only the second day, I kept it on display until my return.

久しぶりのハワイでした。ディナーショーは必ず最後の日に入れていましたが、今回は金曜日の花火と重なるので日にちをずらしました。まだ2日目で明日も早い為、お酒など注文せずに軽く過ごす予定でしたが同席の日本人ご夫婦とお話が弾み御相伴に預かる事になりました。

旅の醍醐味は色々経験された方からのお話やおススメスポットを直に聞ける事も含まれているのでは無いかと思います。
話はそれましたがショーはとても面白かったです。純粋にポリネシアンスタイルのショーだと、時差ぼけと早起きが続いて、音楽が穏やか過ぎて寝てしまいそうですがエンターテイメントなキャスト達が繰り広げるプチコンサートの様な形相もありました。
特にマイケルジャクソンは世代ですがコンサートに行った事無い為、純粋にダンスや歌を楽しみました。同席させて頂いたご夫婦はエルビスプレスリー世代だった様で、こちらも同じ様に楽しまれていました。
VIPのコースの予約にはショーの間のドリンクも用意されていたのでこちらも楽しみました。お食事は日本人にもあう内容だったので美味しく頂きました。ブュッフェは追加で頂く事も出来ましたが
種類豊富でデザート以外はおかわり出来ない位充実してましたよ。
ホテルで頂いたレイと、こちらでもレイを頂いて帰りましたがお花の香りがお部屋に漂ってまだ2日目の為帰国まで飾ってました

Very fun and staff were awesome and very helpful !

Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!

My granddaughter and I participated in the Dolphin Quest excursion. The staff was very educated. They gave us a lot of information on those amazing creatures.

While being blown by the pleasant winds of Hawaii, we went whale watching. Since it was a large boat, I didn't feel much rocking. Upon boarding, we had the opportunity for a commemorative photo, which we could purchase if we liked. The photo was so lovely that I decided to buy it as a memory of this stay. Additionally, we could see the blue ocean of Hawaii and Diamond Head from the boat, and it felt great to be swayed by the boat while listening to Hawaiian music. This time, we were able to see a mother and her calf whale.

ハワイの心地いい風に吹かれながら鯨探しにいきます。大きな船なのであまり揺れも感じませんでした。乗船時には記念撮影をしていただき、気に入れば購入することができます。素敵な写真だったため今回の滞在の思い出に購入させてもらいました。また、船からハワイの青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡すことができ、ハワイアンミュージックを聴きながら船に揺られるのもの心地が良かったです。今回は親子のくじらを見ることができました。

ホノルルの夜に、最高の時間でした。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなど似ているかどうかは、別として、楽しい夜を過ごすことができます。

The underwater scenery with sunken ships and airplane wrecks was amazing. We saw a lot of fish as well. However, my wife seemed to be struggling with seasickness.

沈没船や飛行機の残骸など、海の中は凄かった。たくさんの魚もみられた。　
ただ、妻は船酔いで辛そうでした。

In February, my family of five had an experience. It was cloudy and we encountered a downpour along the way, but that was actually nice. The rain added to the atmosphere and made it a wonderful experience. It became an unforgettable memory. In February, it can be cold if you go in short sleeves, so I think it's better to prepare a light jacket. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes. There are lockers where you can use a credit card, so you can store your things there. I was quite hesitant because it was expensive, but it became the best memory of this trip to Hawaii.

２月に家族5人で体験しました。曇っていて途中スコールになりましたが、それはそれで良かったです。スコールも雰囲気がでて素敵な体験でした。忘れられない思い出になりました。２月は半袖で行くと寒い事もあるので薄い上着を用意した方が良いと思います。着替えも忘れずに持って行って下さい。クレジットカードが使えるロッカーがあるのでそこに入れておけます。
結構高額で悩みましたが今回のハワイ旅行の1番の思い出になりました。

I was very satisfied to see a pod of about five whales. The boat was large and stable, and the staff were very skilled at positioning the boat, often moving to a spot where the whales would appear in a way that made them easy to see. I thought they might be too far away to see, but in reality, they were impressive enough to enjoy even with the naked eye.

5匹ほどのクジラの群れを見ることができて、とても満足でした。船が大きくて安定感もあり、スタッフの方の船の位置取りがとても上手で、いつも見やすい場所に移動してからクジラが現れることが多かったのが印象的でした。遠すぎて見えないかもと思っていましたが、実際は肉眼でも十分迫力があり、しっかり楽しめました。

This was the most enjoyable experience of my trip to Hawaii!

I actually got to drive a buggy and go off-roading, and it was a moment where I thought, "I'm so glad I have my license." The off-road course was quite authentic and something you can't easily experience in Japan, and the scenery was amazing. I was thrilled the entire time as we drove past movie filming locations and more.

The instructor's explanations were mostly in English, but he had a very Hawaiian vibe and a sense of humor, making the lecture enjoyable, so I had no worries at all.

Since we had an early departure at 6 AM and I was picked up from the hotel, I had eaten breakfast beforehand. However, the shuttle bus made a stop in front of another hotel and suddenly announced, "Feel free to go grab breakfast!" It was a relaxed, Hawaiian-style break that I found amusing. I did feel a bit anxious about being left behind even though they took attendance, so I chose to stay on the bus and wait.

We had a two-hour course this time, but it flew by, and I thought, "Maybe I should have gone for the three-hour option," because it was so much fun.

In any case, I believe this is an experience you can only have in Hawaii, so I highly recommend this activity to anyone who is considering it!

ハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しかった体験でした！

実際に自分でバギーを運転してオフロードを走るのですが、「免許を取っていてよかった」と思える瞬間でした。日本ではなかなか体験できないような本格的なオフロードコースで、景色も最高。映画のロケ地なども見ながら走れるので、終始テンションが上がりました。

インストラクターの説明はほとんど英語でしたが、とてもハワイアンな雰囲気でユーモアもあり、楽しくレクチャーしてくれるので全く不安はありませんでした。

朝6時にホテルへ迎えに来てもらう早朝出発だったので事前に朝食を食べておいたのですが、送迎バスが途中で別のホテル前に停まり「ブレックファースト行ってきていいよー」と急に休憩タイムが入ったのも、なんだかハワイらしいゆるい感じで面白かったです。
ただ、点呼はしていたものの置いて行かれたら怖いなと思い、私はバスから降りずに待っていました。

今回は2時間コースでしたが、あっという間で「3時間にしておけばよかったかも」と少し思うくらい楽しかったです。

とにかく、ハワイでしかできない体験だと思うので、迷っている人にはぜひおすすめしたいアクティビティです！

Riding horses in the breathtaking nature was truly enjoyable. If you want to fully appreciate the great outdoors, I believe horseback riding is better than taking a buggy. It's completely fine even for beginners. Basically, all the horses are calm and well-behaved. Occasionally, there were some that didn't have a muzzle and would nibble on the grass along the way...

However, the saddles on all the horses tended to shift. The initial setup wasn't very good, which put a lot of strain on my knees, and after getting off the horse, it was tough to walk for a while. But since I love horses, I was able to ride a lot and had a great time.

At Kualoa Ranch, there are staff members at the main reception and guides who can speak Japanese, which is very kind and reassuring.

圧巻の大自然のなかでの乗馬は本当に楽しかったです。大自然をゆっくり堪能するなら、バギーより乗馬だと思います。初めてでも全然問題ないです。基本的に馬はみんな大人しくてお利口さんばかり。たまに口輪をしていない子は、道草を食ってしまっていましたが…。
ただ、どの馬の鞍もずれてきてしまうんですよね…もともとのセッティングがあまり上手くなくて、膝にすごく負担がかかり下馬後、しばらく歩くのが辛かったですが、馬が好きなのでたっぷり乗れて楽しめました。
クアロアランチはメイン受付や案内のスタッフにも日本語が話せる方がいて、すごく親切で安心です。

The waves were high, and I was thrown into the sea while on the bumper tube (laughs), but it was very thrilling and the best experience. I highly recommend this combination.

波が高くバンパーチューブでは海に飛ばされ（笑）ましたが、とてもスリリングで最高でした。この組み合わせおすすめです。

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and the waves were calm, making it perfect for a cruise. Once we boarded the boat, we received an explanation about whales, and afterwards, we enjoyed some pineapple banana bread and coffee. It was very delicious. My elderly mother also said it was tasty and finished it all.

After having our snacks, we went out on the deck and enjoyed cruising while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day.

The wind wasn't too strong, so cruising in the warm sunshine felt really nice. It would have been amazing to see whales, but I think that's just a matter of luck.

They asked if I would like to board again, so I provided my contact information before disembarking, but in the end, I didn't go for a second ride. If I had more time in my schedule, I would have liked to try again.

当日は天気も良く、波も穏やかで絶好のクルーズ日和でした。
船に乗るとまず、クジラについての説明等があり、その後パイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒーを頂きました。とても美味しかったです。高齢の母も美味しいと言って完食していました。

軽食を頂いた後は、デッキに出て、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドなどを海側から眺めながらのクルージングを楽しみましたが、残念ながら、この日はクジラには会えませんでした。

風もそこまで強くなかったので、暖かい陽射しの中でのクルージングはとても気持ち良かったです。
クジラに会えていたら、最高でしたが、こればっかりは運だと思います。

再度の乗船希望を聞かれたので、連絡先を教えてもらって下船しましたが、結局、2度目の乗船はしませんでした。日程に余裕があったら再挑戦したかったです。

It was fun! The staff was lively, and not only was the parasailing itself enjoyable, but the journey there was fun too! Even getting seasick is a good memory, haha!

楽しかったです！
スタッフさんもノリノリでパラセーリング自体はもちろん移動中も楽しかったです！！
船酔いもいい思い出です笑

There is a certain degree of unpredictability. It's entirely possible that you might not see anything, but in that case, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while cruising. I participated with that mindset.

I wasn't particularly interested since I could only see parts of the body from a distance, but I thought it would be a rare experience for my child to say, "I saw a whale!" So, I decided to join. As a result, we were able to see a lot, and our whole family was very satisfied.

When I glanced ahead, I noticed many protrusions. It was a pod of dolphins. There was no announcement, so I informed the people around me. If you don't rely solely on announcements and actively look out at the sea, you might get lucky.

I took a taxi to the location. It seemed that many people gathered there. It cost about $25 one way, including tips, from around Halekulani. On the way there, I was dropped off quite far away and had to walk for about 15 minutes. Be sure to tell the driver "Pier 8." For the return trip, I called the taxi company after arriving at the port, and they came in about 20 minutes. There was a souvenir shop, so it was a good way to pass the time. When I told them "Pier 8 near Aloha Tower," they came right to the front.

In the past, my family had a terrible experience on a smaller boat during dolphin watching, but this time, we all enjoyed it without any seasickness. Choosing this boat was the right decision. The pineapple cake we had on board was delicious. There were cold water, coffee, and tea available as drinks. There were also paid drinks, but the complimentary drinks were sufficient. There were 2 or 3 people who got seasick, but most of the guests were happily enjoying whale watching.

運次第なところはあります。
見れない場合も十分にあり得る事、その場合は美しい景色のクルージングを楽しむ。そういう心持ちで参加しました。

身体の一部を遠くで見る事ができる程度のため自分自身はさほど興味はありませんでしたが、子供にとっては「くじらを見た！」という得難い経験になると思い参加しました。
結果として沢山見ることができ、家族一同大満足でした。

ふと目をやった先に突起物がたくさん見えました。イルカの群れでした。
アナウンスは特に無かったので周囲の方々に教えて差し上げました。
アナウンス任せにせず自分でも海を探していたらラッキーなことがあるかもしれません。

現地へはタクシーで行きました。現地集合の方が多かったように思います。
ハレクラニあたりから片道チップ込みで25ドルほどでした。
行きはかなり遠くに降ろされてしまい15分も歩きました。必ず「ピア8」とお伝えしてください。
帰りは港へ到着してからタクシー会社へ電話して20分ほどで来てくれました。
お土産屋さんがありましたのでいい時間つぶしになりました。
配車の際「アロハタワーの近くのピア8」とお伝えしたらきちんと目の前まで来てくれました。
過去、もっと小さな船でドルフィンウォッチングに参加した際全滅した我が家でも酔い止めなしで全員楽しめました。こちらの船を選んで正解でした。
船内でいただいたパイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。
ドリンクは冷たいお水やコーヒー、紅茶もありました。
有料ドリンクもありましたが無料サービスのドリンクで十分でした。
船酔いされた方は2～3名いましたがほとんどの方が元気にホエールウォッチングを楽しんでおられました。

Thought everything what amazing. Stopped at all the areas for pictures and Ivan our guide was tremendous. Could not have had a better experience!!!

I was looking forward to the Polynesian dance, but aside from the last performer who used fire, the atmosphere was greatly diminished by the presence of mostly Western and Chinese-Japanese performers. After all, Polynesian dance should be performed by those who embody the Polynesian spirit... Other than that, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアのダンスを楽しみにしていたのに、最後の火を使った演技者以外は欧米系、中華日系で雰囲気が大きく損なわれた。
やはりポリネシアダンスはポリネシアンの雰囲気を持った方が踊らないと…
それ以外は満足です

What a rush !!! Excellent excursion!!
Closest thing to being in a surfboard.
Guide excelled at giving understandable directions.

At first, I was worried, but it was easy to understand because they taught me with gestures and hand signals. Driving the buggy was also simple, and the scenery was amazing.

最初は心配でしたが、身振り､手振りで教えてくれるのでわかりやすかったです。バギーの運転も簡単だったし、景色も最高でした。

Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet any whales this time, but the splendid sightseeing boat didn't sway much, so I was able to enjoy the trip without worrying about seasickness. My 2-year-old was super excited about being on such a big boat for the first time, and our whole family had a blissful time admiring the beautiful views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. The staff were warm and attentive, making it truly a perfect description of an elegant holiday. I definitely want to book again for our next trip to Hawaii, aiming for a little revenge on the whale sighting!

残念ながら今回はクジラさんに会うことは叶いませんませんでしたが、大きな揺れを感じない立派な遊覧船だったので、船酔いの心配もなく終始安心して楽しめました。
2歳の子供も初めての大きな船に大興奮で、家族全員でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの美しい街並みを海から眺めるという、至福のひとときを過ごせました。スタッフの方々の気配りも温かく、まさに優雅な休日という言葉がぴったりです。次回のハワイ旅行でも、リベンジを兼ねてぜひまた予約したいと思います。

The cheerful staff keeps you entertained. Although it's in English, they are accustomed to Japanese people and explain things with gestures, so there are no problems. The parasailing itself is fantastic. If I have the chance, I would like to do it again next time.

It's fine to bring bags like backpacks. You can store your belongings and sandals in the space under the seats, so they won't get wet. Of course, managing valuables is each person's responsibility. I think the photo option will be added unless you decline it. This time, I participated with three people, and one stayed on the boat, so taking photos with my smartphone was sufficient. With a smartphone, you can also take videos, and if one person is staying on the boat, I think the photo option isn't necessary. However, if there isn't anyone to take photos from the boat, it would be better to opt for it.

The boat rocked, but I didn't get seasick. It might have been influenced by the fact that there were only two groups participating and it was a short time.

陽気なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。英語ですけど、日本人に慣れていて身振り手振りで説明をしてくれるので問題ありません。パラセーリング自体は最高です。機会があれば次回もやりたいと思っています。

リュックなど荷物を持ち込んでも大丈夫です。腰掛け下のスペースに荷物やサンダルなどを入れて保管しますので水には濡れません。もちろん貴重品は各自の責任での管理となります。写真撮影のオプションは断らない限りつけられてしまうと思います。今回、私は3人名での参加で1名が船に残っている状況でしたので、スマホでの撮影で事足りました。スマホだと動画も撮れるし1名が船に残っているのであれば、写真オプションはなくても良いと思います。もし船から撮影してくれる人がいないのであれば、オプションつけた方が良いです。
船は揺れましたが船酔いはしなかったです。2組の参加で短時間であったということも影響したかもしれませんが。
