All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I have always wanted to go to Kualoa, and it was the perfect tour. The two-hour horseback riding course was ample and very satisfying, and I was able to relax on the comfortable bus during the round trip.

ずっとクアロアに行きたいと思っていましたが完璧なツアーでした。乗馬の2時間コースもたっぷりで大満足、行き帰りも安心のバスでゆっくり過ごせました。

I read reviews that mentioned it gets quite dirty due to the dust, so I went with clothes I wouldn't mind throwing away. However, since the weather was really clear, I didn't get that dirty after all. They also provided bandanas and goggles to cover my nose and mouth, so my face didn't get too dirty either. I think it's a good idea to bring wet wipes or something similar!

I had a lot of fun experiencing something I can't do in Japan!

砂埃でかなり汚れるとの口コミを見たので捨てても良い服で行きましたが、かなり快晴であったこともあり、そこまで汚れることはありませんでした。また、鼻と口を覆うバンダナとゴーグルが配られたので、顔もそんなに汚れなかったです。ただ、ウェットティッシュなどは持参すると良いと思います！

日本ではできない経験ができてとても楽しかったです！

It felt like we rode horses for two hours, and I was surprised we went much farther than I expected (laughs). The guides were all English speakers, but they were kind, using gestures and translating with their phones. At one point, the horse suddenly tried to run, which startled me, but I pulled the rope behind and it stopped right away, so that was good. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a wonderful activity.

2時間お馬さんに乗って回るかんじでしたが、思っていたよりもめっちゃ遠くまで行ってびっくりでした（笑）ガイドさん達はみんな英語でしたが、ジェスチャーだったり携帯で翻訳してくれたりと、親切でした。途中馬が急に走り出そうとしてびっくりしましたが、後ろに紐を引っ張ったらすぐ止まってくれたのでよかったです。景色も良くとても素敵なアクティビティでした。

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.

チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。

I was nervous because the shuttle bus didn't arrive on time, but I was able to relax on the spacious bus. Once we arrived, the staff provided explanations in Japanese and advised us to secure our spots early. Since it was a Sunday, it was fairly crowded, and some slides had lines of nearly 30 minutes. Perhaps because the lazy river was out of service, the wave pool was quite crowded, and it was difficult to secure a float. I was satisfied to experience slides that are not commonly found in Japan, but I wish I had a bit more time to stay.

迎えのバスが時間になっても来なくてドキドキしましたが、大きなバスでゆったり向かうことができました。
現地では、日本語でスタッフの方からの説明があり、先に場所を確保しておいた方がいいこと等、教えていただけました。
日曜日だったこともあり、まぁまぁ混んでいてスライダー等は３０分近く並ぶものもありました。流れるプールが運休だったこともあってか、波のプールは人が多くて浮き輪を確保するのに苦労しました。
日本ではなかなかないサイズのスライダーを体験できて満足ですが、もう少し滞在時間があればよかったなと思います。

It was my first time on a Segway, but they taught me how to ride it carefully, and I had a really fun experience. I'm glad I signed up. I want to ride again!

初めてのセグウェイでしたが、乗り方を丁寧に教えて頂き、とっても楽しく体験することが出来ました。
申し込んで良かったです。また乗りたい〜

In 2011, it was called Hawaiian Water Adventure Park. The name has changed, and the slides have been renewed, making it quite enjoyable even as an adult.

It was a Saturday during the summer vacation season in America, but it wasn't too crowded, and I only had to wait about 15 minutes for any slide, which was comfortable. One reason I was able to enjoy my time was because I had a drink-all-you-can voucher. With the pool, the heat, and the strong sunlight, I was really thirsty, but since I could keep hydrating, I was able to avoid heatstroke and have fun.

Since it opened at 10:30, I took an Uber from Waikiki via the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. As there were two adults, we left around 4 PM, did about three hours of shopping at Waikele, and then called another Uber to go home.

Having visited Hawaii multiple times, I think if you have a general sense of the area and know what you want to do and where you want to go, you could easily spend a day here and still have enough time. However, if you're on a tight schedule with just three nights and five days, unfortunately, I can't recommend it. But it’s really fun, and since there are slides you can't experience in Japan, I definitely suggest it for those who have some extra time!

2011年？当時はハワイアンウォーターアドベンチャーパークという名前でした。名前が変わり、スライダー類もリニューアルされていて大人になった今もかなり楽しめました。
土曜日かつアメリカは夏休みシーズンでしたが、そこまで混雑しておらずどのスライダーも並んでも15分ほどで快適でした。
ドリンク飲み放題のバウチャーだったことがかなり快適に過ごせた理由の一つかと思います。プール、暑い、日差しが強いなのでとにかく喉が乾くのですが飲み放題なのでどんどん水分補給出来たことで熱中症にもならず楽しめました。

10時半オープンのためワイキキからカカアコのファーマーズマーケット経由でuberに乗り、大人2人だったため16時過ぎに退散、ワイケレで3時間ほどショッピングして再度uberを呼んで帰りました。
ハワイに何度も訪れていてなんとなくの土地勘や、やりたいこと行きたい場所が決まっていれば1日ここで遊んでも時間が足りると思いますが、3泊5日でとにかく時間が無い時は残念ながらおすすめできません。。が、本当に楽しいですし、日本では体験できないスライダーばかりなのでお日にちに余裕がある方はぜひ♡

So glad we did this. Experienced and knowledgeable crew. Had a great time!

Starting with Hawaiian music and dance from the 1920s, and moving through the historic concerts in Hawaii featuring Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s, you can enjoy a performance filled with song and dance. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in promotional photos, as they are likely double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.

1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。

The pre-lecture was quite simplified with gestures and such. However, the captain and everyone else on board were all nice guys and very reliable. We went out to sea about three times to catch some waves, and on the second time, we managed to ride a pretty big wave, which was really exciting. It lasted about 25 minutes, but based on the waves we caught, it felt like it could have gone on a bit longer.

事前のレクチャーは、ジェスチャーなどで、かなり簡略化しています。
ただ船長はじめ、一緒に乗ってくれる方々は、みなナイスガイでとても頼もしいです。
波をつかまえに、３回ほど、沖の方へいき、２回目にかなり大きな波に乗れ、かなーり盛り上がりました。
だいたい２５分くらいで、終了でしたが、乗れた波の感じで、時間はもう少し長くなるのかな？って感じです。

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

Greeted with all of the information we needed to check in. Great tour by Mikey. Lots to see and it kept everyone highly entertained. Highly recommend to anyone, the views are breathtaking.

Thank you for teaching me so kindly; I had a lot of fun and time flew by! It was easy to understand because you spoke in Japanese! I want to participate again!

丁寧に教えてくださり、とても楽しくあっというまに時間がなくなりました！日本語で話してくれたので分かりやすかったです！また参加したいです！

My child wanted to go horseback riding, and it seemed difficult to do it individually, so we signed up for a tour. There were no problems since a Japanese guide showed us around. We had the experience of riding a horse through magnificent scenery, something we can't do in Japan.

子供が乗馬をしたがり、個人で行くのは難しそうなのでツアーを申し込みました。
現地では日本人ガイドさんが案内してくれたので何も問題なかったです。
雄大な景色の中を馬に乗って散歩するという、日本ではできない経験ができました。

I was a bit anxious about horseback riding in the blazing sun, so I chose the sunset time. It turned out to be a great decision! The breeze was pleasant, and the scenery was truly beautiful.

I met a slightly free-spirited horse. However, the instructor was always nearby, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

At a spot where the sunset reflected beautifully, I was able to take a lot of pictures (even though I was wearing a helmet... haha), creating wonderful memories.

I am very satisfied with this precious experience in Hawaii.

炎天下での乗馬はちょっと不安だったので、サンセットタイムを選びました。
結果、大正解！風も心地よく、景色が本当に美しかったです。

私が出会ったのは、ちょっぴり自由奔放なお馬さん。
でも、常にインストラクターの方がそばにいてくれて、安心して楽しめました。

夕陽がきれいに映るポイントでは、たくさん写真も撮っていただき、
（ヘルメット姿ですが…笑）素敵な思い出になりました。

ハワイでの貴重な体験ができて大満足です。

Amazing for adults and kids. The bus driver was funny and amazing !!! Thank you so much for the entertainment.
Beautiful

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

Visiting the Punchbowl National Cemetery was a must for my family history, so I was happy to find a tour that has so much inclusion, was a well planned day.

Visiting both the Arizona and Missouri sites gave us a full perspective on all Pearl Harbor scarifies.

Whether you’re a movie buff or just love beautiful landscapes, this tour is perfect for a more relaxed day inside Kualoa :)

Of course everyone told us ahead of time to make sure to stop here, and they were not wrong. What a fabulous type of tour, fun and historical!

Having a private guide made the tour that much better, such a great location to kayak!

ATVs were easy to drive and in great condition and guides were awesome throughout!

The buffet had a decent selection with carved roast beef, chicken, and sides. It’s not a luxury gourmet meal, but for the price it was solid and filling.

I had the opportunity to go snorkeling in Okinawa, and this was my second time. I felt secure participating with a Japanese instructor. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, they helped us search for spots where we might find them while considering our stamina.

They took care of everyone's valuables and provided changing areas, showers, and restrooms, but since it was a tour, everything was done efficiently. They also offered wetsuit rentals for a fee, explaining that it would help prevent injuries from coral and keep us warm. They advised us to keep swimming without lifting our heads when we found coral (lifting our heads would cause our feet to drop and hit the coral), so wearing just a swimsuit was fine.

The afternoon session was hot, so I didn't feel cold, but my thighs got sunburned while diving. They laid down mats on the sandy beach to keep things clean, and I appreciated the bottled water and snacks provided.

I wasn't used to the tipping culture and missed the chance to give a tip, so I thought it would have been easier if they had included the tip in the total amount when I paid the $25 entrance fee for Hanauma Bay. The service was excellent, so I recommend it even for those who are anxious about their English skills.

シュノーケリングは沖縄でやったことがあり2回目でしたが、日本語インストラクターで安心して参加できました。
ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、私達の体力を気にしつつ何度かウミガメがいそうな場所を一緒に探して下さいました。
貴重品は皆のをまとめて保管して頂けて、着替える場所やシャワー、トイレはありますが、ツアーなのでテキパキにという感じです。有料でスウェットスーツの貸出もあり、珊瑚で怪我しないようにするのと、寒さ対策できるとの説明はありましたが、珊瑚を見つけたら泳ぎ続けて顔を上げないように(顔を上げると足が下がってぶつかるため)アドバイス頂き水着でも大丈夫でした。また午後の回は暑かったので寒さは感じませんでしたが、潜っていても腿の裏が真っ赤に日焼けしてました。
砂浜で汚れないようにシートを敷いて下さったり、ペットボトルの水やスナック菓子も頂けて有難かったです。
チップ文化に慣れておらず渡しそびれてしまったので、ハナウマ湾の入場料25$をお渡しする際にチップも含んだ金額で仰って頂けたら、チップお渡ししやすかったかなと思いました。サービスは大満足なので英語が不安な方にもオススメです。

The fireworks we paid for were only 4 minutes long. The food was alright. The staff was friendly.

We went as a family of three.
Along the way, something went wrong.
One person was taken off the horse and sent back by car, which was a disappointing event.
Was it judged to be dangerous?
Was it determined that the horse couldn't be controlled because it was only eating?
In any case, we returned halfway without a clear reason, which was quite disappointing.

家族３人でいきました
途中、何が悪かったのか？
１人だけ馬を下ろされ車で戻される残念な出来事がありました
危ないと判断さらたのか？
馬が食事ばかりして制御出来ないと判断されたのか？
どちらにしてもはっきりした理由もなく道半ばでの帰還
かなり残念でした

The staff on the boat is very friendly, fun and helpful. We had a great time watching dolphins swim and then snorkeling after that.

I participated in a beginner-level plan with shuttle service. There is a bus to Kualoa Ranch, and at the information desk, there are Japanese staff or staff who can speak Japanese.

When you arrive at Kualoa Ranch, the Japanese staff will instruct Japanese participants to gather together. Once gathered, they will explain the basic flow and locations in Japanese, so there’s nothing to worry about.

There were no Japanese-speaking staff on the return bus. It was initially sunny at Kualoa Ranch, but it gradually became cloudy.

It was my first time on an E-bike. At first, there is practice on the course. I applied the brakes as I would on a regular bicycle, but they are very effective, so be careful. Make sure to apply the brakes slowly.

Once you get used to it, there are no problems. The activity guide communicates only in English. Before starting the activity, they show you how to operate the E-bike with a video that has Japanese subtitles. During the activity, it is completely English-only.

送迎有り初心者レベルのプランに参加しました。クアロアランチまでの行きのバスとクアロアランチのインフォメーションデスクに日本人もしくは日本語を話せるスタッフがいます。
クアロアランチに着くと日本人スタッフなどが日本人は集まるようにと指示してくれます。集まったら簡単な流れや場所の説明等を日本語でしてくれるので何も心配いりません。
帰りのバスには日本語を話せるスタッフは乗車しませんでした。
クアロアランチは最初は晴れていたんですがだんだんと曇り空になりました。
初めてのEバイクでした。最初、コースで練習があります。普通の自転車の感覚でブレーキをかけたのですが思いっきりブレーキが利いてしまうので注意してください。ゆっくりブレーキをかけるようにしましょう。
慣れれば何も問題有りません。アクティビティのガイドは英語だけでやり取りします。アクティビティを始める前にEバイクの操作方法を日本語の字幕が付いたビデオで見せてくれます。アクティビティ中は完全に英語オンリーです。

We took a taxi from Waikiki and arrived in about 20 minutes. The receptionist and the boat driver spoke Japanese, so we felt at ease and enjoyed ourselves. They also introduced us to some delicious nearby restaurants. I'm glad I experienced marine sports for the first time here!

ワイキキからタクシーで向かいましたが20分程度で着きました。受付、船のドライバーさんも日本語が話せる方だったので安心して楽しめました。近くの美味しいお店も紹介していただけました。初めてのマリンスポーツがここでよかったです！
