All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

Great time. Everyone was courteous and helpful. Great people. Great day. Great boat. Great flying over the water.

I tried to go to Kualoa Ranch, but I couldn't make a reservation. So, I participated in this instead. Since there was no shuttle service, I was unsure how to get there, but I took a bus to the North Shore and enjoyed it thoroughly. Calling an Uber for a taxi was quick. Riding horses while gazing at the quiet sea without any tourists was elegant! Afterward, I was even allowed to feed the horses bananas.

クアロア牧場に行こうとしましたが、予約取れず。こちらに参加しました。送迎がないのでどう行こうか迷いましたが、ノースショアまでバスでノースショアを満喫しUberでタクシー呼んだらすぐでした。観光客のいない静かな海を眺めながらゆったり乗馬は優雅でした！終わった後に馬にバナナあげたりとかもさせてくれました。

My first parasailing experience was amazing. I was able to fully enjoy the wonderful scenery of Hawaii and the refreshing wind. However, if you are prone to motion sickness, it's necessary to take precautions in advance, such as medication, because the waves can be quite strong.

初めてのパラセイリング
ハワイの素晴らしい景色と風の気持ちよさを目一杯感じられる体験でした
ただ乗り物酔いをする方は、あらかじめ薬などで対策を取る必要があります（波がかなりあるので）

Surfing in Hawaii was a dream of mine, so I participated. The waves were quite challenging for beginners on the day, but the instructor Gavin worked really hard and I was able to try three times. There was also a photographer who took photos and videos, so for an additional fee, you can see your surfing moments at the counter at the end and purchase them.

ハワイでのサーフィンは憧れだったので、参加しました。当日はビギナーにはなかなかの波で大変でしたがインストラクターのgavinがとても頑張ってくれて3本トライ出来ました。一緒にフォトグラファーの方が写真&ビデオ撮影してくれてるので、別料金ですが、最後にカウンターで波に乗ってる姿を見せてくれて買う事が出来ます。

I'm more than excited to write this review. Thanks for a good time this morning. I'd recommend this adventure for anyone who loves the ocean and these fantastic creatures. Sharks were friendly and gorgeous. The crew was knowledgeable and professional. This is definitely five stars experience with lots of fun. We enjoyed the morning on a comfortable boat, with an excellent crew and Sharks! I have done similar activities before, and I can tell that you did a good job guys. I can't image the better way to meet the sharks. Thank you guys! Save the sharks and ocean. Aloha! #northshoresharkadventures, @NorthShoreSharkAdventures

Last year, I participated in this tour alone while my family went shopping, but this time they said they would join, so I participated for the second consecutive year.
The tour guide was a woman named Erika, and my companions were a young couple from Australia and an elderly couple living in LA who joined us locally. Since it wasn't a Japanese guide, a certain level of English proficiency is necessary, but Erika spoke slowly and clearly about the tour's points of interest and plant explanations, so even if you're not great at listening, you might not need to worry too much.
The itinerary wasn't too hard, but it seemed to have rained just before (it drizzled a bit during the tour), making the ground slippery, which required some caution. Because of this, the pace of the elderly couple slowed down, and we ended up taking longer than planned, which made us late for the next activity (the Australian couple seemed to continue on to an MTB tour). As a result, we had to take a taxi arranged by the guide to return, which was an unusual schedule (of course, the cost was covered by the tour).
Once we entered the mountains, the humidity was high and it was muggy, so it's better to dress coolly. However, since there are mosquitoes and to prevent injuries from branches and stumps, I recommend participating in long sleeves and long pants, and sturdy athletic shoes (though your shoes will get muddy).
Continuing from last time, we also saw the wild (though an introduced species) spotted poison dart frog, and you can enjoy a completely different side of Oahu compared to Honolulu, so I think it's a recommended activity.

　昨年、ショッピングに行く家族と別行動で1人でこのツアーに参加したのですが、今回は家族も行くと言うので、2年連続で参加しました。
　ツアーガイドはERIKAさんと言う女性、同行者はオーストラリアから来た若いカップルと、現地で合流して来たＬＡ在住の老夫婦でした。日本語ガイドではないので、ある程度の英語力は必要ですが、ツアーでの注意点とか植物に関する説明などは丁寧にゆっくり喋ってくれるので、ヒアリングが苦手でもそんなに気にしなくていいかもしれません。
　行程はそんなにハードではありませんが、直前に雨が降ったようで（途中も少し降られた）、滑りやすく、神経を使いました。そのせいか、老夫婦のペースが上がらず、予定より時間がかかってしまった為、次の予定（オーストラリアのカップルは引き続きＭＴＢツアーに参加するようでした）に間に合わなくなったようで、帰りはガイドが手配したタクシーで帰ると言う変則的なスケジュールになりました（もちろん費用はツアー持ちでした）。
　山に入ると湿度も高く、蒸し暑いので、涼しい格好の方がいいですが、蚊もいるし、木の枝や切り株などで怪我をするのを防ぐ為にも、長袖と長いパンツ、足元はしっかりした運動靴で参加する事をお勧めします（ただし、靴はドロドロに汚れます）。
　前回に引き続き、野生（移入種ですが）のマダラヤドクガエルも見られたし、ホノルルとは全く違うオアフ島の一面を楽しめるので、お勧め出来るアクティビティーだと思いますよ。

They provided long-sleeved rash guards for everyone, and we first received an explanation while looking at photos in the office before moving to the beach for practice. At first, I was a bit confused being back in the ocean after a long time, but I was able to get the hang of it quicker than I expected, and it felt amazing! Paddling was tough, but they helped us out, and they encouraged us to stretch from time to time, so there were no aftereffects (laughs). I just had a great time. At the end, they gave each pair a DVD with our photos, which was lucky! One person had to pay for it, so I recommend participating in pairs! They also provided transportation back to the hotel, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time; I think I'm going to get hooked on surfing! ^ ^♡

長袖のラッシュガードを全員に貸してくれて、まずオフィスで写真を見ながら説明を受け、ビーチに移動して練習。初めは久しぶりの海に戸惑ったけど思ったよりすぐに乗れるようになって本当に気持ちよかった！！パドリングがキツかったけど助けてくれるし、時々ストレッチを促してくれるから後遺症もなく(笑)ただただ楽しめました。最後に自分たちの写真を収めたDVDを2人1組で1枚プレゼントしてくれてlucky！1人の人は有料になってたので2人組で参加することをお勧めします！帰りもホテルまで送迎してくれるし、みっちり楽しめてサーフィンにハマりそうです^ ^♡

We went on the afternoon cruise and had a great time. Staff were excellent.

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

Amazing! Saw 20+ sharks and got within inches of them. (90% were sand bar sharks with 2 hammerheads sprinkled in there). Definitely coming back!

The sea was very beautiful, and it was the best. The instructor was also very kind. I was lucky to see a sea turtle. However, there were waves, and the visibility wasn't great, so I deducted one star. I would like to participate again.

とてもキレイな海で、最高でした。
インストラクターの方もとても親切です。ウミガメにも会うことができてラッキー。
ただ、波があって透明度がイマイチだったので、星一つマイナスにしました。
また参加したいです。

Had so much fun, felt safe and loved being serenaded... definitely will go again and on a weekend when adult beverages are permitted : )

My wife and I did this ride with our 2 kids ages 10 and 12. The ride was super easy with incredible views. The horses are super calm and barely move when getting on and off them. They are very well trained which makes the ride very pleasant and enjoyable. At times I felt like the horse just knew what to do with little instructions from me. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the scenery of the mountains and the seemingly endless amount of open land which surrounded us as we walked through the trail. The trail included walking up and down beautiful hills, under and around shady trees, all at a pace which was relaxing yet exciting. I can't say enough about this establishment and would recommend any family to visit this ranch.

My parents in their 70s were with us, and it seems they had more fun than we expected. The stage was close, making it easy to see, and we enjoyed the music as well.

70代の両親も一緒でしたが、思ったより楽しかったようです。
舞台が近いので、見やすく音楽も楽しめました。

Finally, my daughter turned 16, and we experienced a four-wheeler adventure as a family. At the photo stop along the way, we were able to take some fun pictures, making it a very satisfying tour.

ようやく娘が16歳になり家族で四輪バギーを体験。途中で停まる撮影スポットではオモシロ写真を取ってもらえ、大満足なツアーでした。

I booked the standard package and went by rental car, but there was a huge crowd at the entrance, and it took a long time. It might be better to arrive early. However, once inside, I was very satisfied.

スタンダードパッケージを予約してレンタカーで行きましたが、
入場するのに大混雑で時間かかりました。
早めに行ったほうがよいかも。
でも入場後は大満足でした。

Very fun and friendly crew. Had a great time. Would do it over again

My husband and I and our 2 kids age 10 and 12 set out from k'Olina area to the ranch. I have to say the drive was amazing. Great views, beach pull off spots, food trucks and we also stopped off at a coffee farm on the way. Once at Gunstock Ranch the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The horses were incredibly trained and easy to ride. The horses were very very very calm and I would trust my 91 year old grandmother could ride them and be just fine. The place was very clean and the horses very well kept after. Hardly any bugs at all, although we did put bug spray on us before hand just incase. I saw beautiful butterflies during the ride on beautiful lush natural trees and bushes. Seriously the views looked like movie sets and later we learned filming was done there in the past. The ride was easy, smooth and very very enjoyable. The scenery was incredible. We rode so close to cows big ones and baby ones. They were very calm and I was happy to know the cattle ranch does not brand their cattle but tag them with numbers. The people at this ranch really do take care of the horses. It's extremely apparent the amazing caring hands these horses are in. You do not need any prior experience at all to do this excursion and I highly highly recommend them over any other ranch in the area. We have done family trail rides before but this one was the best! When we return to Oahu we will be back.

Unfortunately, it seems that the whales went towards Canada, so we couldn't go whale watching. I'm disappointed that it looks like I won't be able to use the tickets before they expire! I'll try again next year.

あいにくクジラたちはカナダの方へ行ったようでホエールウオッチングは叶いませんでした。
頂いたチケット期限に使えそうもなく残念！！又来年トライします。

I attended with my elementary school son. The wave pool had higher waves than those in Japanese pools, which was enjoyable. There were few customers, so we only had to wait a few minutes for lockers and lunch, making everything smooth.

小学生の息子と参加しました。
波のプールが日本のプールより波が高く愉しかったです。お客さんも少なくロッカーや昼食も数分並ぶ程度でスムーズでした。

I decided to participate to excite my elementary school son, but my wife and I ended up being the ones who were excited. Since we had no experience with scuba diving, it was a lot of fun to dive into the ocean. Additionally, the guide had a great sense of humor, so I'm glad we joined. I highly recommend this for families!

小学生の息子を興奮させてみようと思い参加しましたが、私と妻の方が興奮してしまいました。スキューバなど未経験だったので、海に潜るというのが愉しかったです。
また、案内の人もユーモアだったので参加してよかったです。家族で参加にお薦めです!

I made a reservation in advance in Japan to stay at the Kahala Hotel. I am overwhelmed with joy that my long-time dream of swimming with dolphins has come true. It was a genuine interaction, not just the typical experience of touching dolphins that you often find in Japan. We participated as a couple, but it seemed that families in the same group were also enjoying themselves.

If I had to mention a downside, I was a bit concerned about the water's cleanliness. It might be due to the dolphins' waste, which is understandable... Since it's not a fish tank, it might be difficult to purify the lagoon. Also, I feel that the price is a bit too high.

I definitely recommend it to anyone staying at the Kahala.

カハラホテルに宿泊の為、事前に日本で予約しました。
長年夢見てきたドルフィンスイムが叶い感無量です。
日本国内でよくあるイルカに触れる程度ではない本当の触れ合いが楽しめました。
我々はカップルでの参加でしたが、同じグループの親子も楽しんで居られた様です。
あえてマイナスポイントを書くとしたら、
水の汚れがやや気になりました。イルカの排泄物だから仕方ないかもしれませんが・・・
生け簀ではないラグーンなので浄化が難しいのかな？
あと、少し料金が高すぎな気もします。

カハラにお泊りの方には絶対おすすめだと思います。

The sea was beautiful, and I was quite satisfied to see some small sea turtles. Although it was the end of August, I felt cold after getting out of the water, and I was told to board the bus while still in my wet swimsuit, so I recommend bringing extra towels and a jacket.

海も綺麗で、小さくですがウミガメも見えてかなり満足でした。8月終わりでしたが海から上がったあとは体が冷えて寒く、帰りのバスも濡れた水着のままで乗車してくださいとのことだったので、タオルや上着を多めに持っていくことをおすすめします。

We participated as a family of four. Without any explanation, we got on the canoe and received instructions on how to hold the oars while paddling. As soon as we headed out, waves came, so we were told we would return after two rides, which took about ten minutes. It was so brief that we asked for another round. If we hadn't asked, we would have only had two rides.

家族４人で参加しました。何の説明もなくカヌーに乗り、オールの持ち方など漕ぎながら説明を受けました。
沖に出るとすぐ波が来るので、２回乗ったら戻るとのこと。時間にして１０分くらい。
あまりにもあっけなかったので、もう一回お願いしました。
お願いしなかったら、2回で終わりにされちゃうところでした。

The VIP seats were close to the stage, and the artists came right to our seats, which was incredibly exciting. The quality of the show was also high, and I was very satisfied.

VIP 席はステージに近く、アーティストが席まで来てくれて、迫力満点でした。ショーの完成度も高く、大満足です。

I only saw a dolphin for a moment, and I didn't get to meet any turtles at the snorkeling spot... what a shame! I guess it's just the nature of dealing with wild animals. I'll try again for a revenge trip! I'm grateful for the cheerful staff and their thoughtfulness♪

イルカは一瞬みれただけ、シュノーケルスポットはカメに会えず…残念！野生の生き物相手なのでしょうがない。またリベンジします！ スタッフの皆様の陽気と心づかいに感謝です♪

I was scheduled for a 9:10 pickup, but I overslept and woke up at 10:00... I hurriedly contacted them, and they quickly changed the time for me. The crew members were all fun people, and we encountered various creatures like turtles, sharks, and rays in the ocean. When I asked the kids what they enjoyed the most in Hawaii, they all shouted, "The submarine!" (^_^)

What started as a panic turned into a very enjoyable memory! I appreciate the kind assistance.

9:10ピックアップの予定が、二度寝して10:00…
焦って連絡を入れたところ、すぐに別の時間へ変更してもらえました。
乗員の方々も楽しい人ばかりで、海中ではカメやサメ、エイなど色々な生き物に出会えました。子供たちも、ハワイで何が一番楽しかった？と聞くと、潜水艦！と声を揃えていいます(^_^)

焦りから一転、とても楽しい思い出になりました！
親切な対応、感謝いたします。

I participated for the first time. The weather was great, and it was a wonderful tour that left me very satisfied. The guide's entertaining talk was also one of the highlights. It became a great memory.

初めて参加しました。お天気にも恵まれとても素敵なツアーで大満足でした。ガイドさんの楽しいトークも楽しみのひとつです。良い思い出になりました。

This was my second time using the service. It seemed that the participant list was not organized, which caused a delay in departing from the meeting point. Additionally, the roads were congested, resulting in an arrival that was about an hour late. They mentioned that the return time would be delayed by an hour, which unfortunately affected my plans afterward.

二回目の利用でした。参加者名簿が整っていなかったのか、集合場所からの出発に時間がかかり、さらに道が混雑していたようで到着が約１時間ほど遅れ、、帰りの時間を１時間遅らせるとのことで･･･そのあとの予定に響いてしまったのが残念でした

I wanted to show my 80-year-old father, who loves Elvis, so I went. I thought the food would be mediocre, so we went to a restaurant we liked. At the entrance, we ordered our favorite drinks (make sure to bring money as it's an additional charge) and participated just to see the show. Our seats were at the very back.

It had been 20 years since I last attended. I was wondering how it would be, but it was so much fun! From Hawaiian shows to impersonations! The quality was high, and the audience was never bored, as expected!

There was a Japanese lady really getting into it during Elvis's "Jailhouse Rock," and she got a hug from Elvis ♥ It was so much fun! My daughter also enjoyed herself in her own way! We enjoyed our meal and then casually went to see the show without feeling pressured or being stuck for a long time, which was great! I've heard the air conditioning is strong, so a long-sleeve shirt is a must.

I even recommended it to a friend who is going to Hawaii next week! My daughter kept saying that the impersonator of Michael was the staff member who was pouring beer at the entrance! I wonder if that's true...

エルビスが好きな80才になる父親に見せたくて、いってまいりました。
この手の食事はいまいちだと思ったのでレストランは好きなところに行き。入り口で、すきな飲み物を注文(別料金なのでお金持参)ショーだけみるのに参加しました。席は一番後ろの方になります。
私は20年ぶりに参加しました。いかがなものかと思っておりましたか。とても楽しかったです！ハワイアンショーから、ものまねまで！クオリティーもたかく、観客を飽きさせることなく、さすがです！
エルビスの監獄ロックで、のりのりになってる日本人のおばさまがいて、エルビスにハグされていました♥楽しかった～
娘もなんだかんだと楽しんでいました！自分たちで食事を楽しんで、そのあと、ふらっとショーを見に行く感覚で気負いすることもなく、長時間拘束されることもなくよかったです！クーラーは、聞いておりますので長袖は必須です。
翌週から、渡ハする友人にもお薦めしちゃいました♪
娘がマイケルのものまねは、入り口でビールいれてた店員さんだよ！としきりに言ってたのですが。。
本当かな…
