All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I went with my three-year-old and one-year-old grandchildren, along with six others.
The children's ticket prices being the same as adults felt very expensive.
For those who have seen shows in Japan, the performance level is quite low.
It's also disappointing that you can't take photos while touching the animals.
What was fun was the area where you can play with the birds.

３歳と１歳の孫と６人で行って来ました。
子供料金が大人と同じなのは、すごく高く感じました。
ショーは日本のを見ている人には、とても芸が低いです。
触っているのを写真が撮れないのも残念です。
楽しかったのは、鳥と遊べるところです。

It was my first time canoeing, but thanks to our guide Masa, I managed to make it back and forth. However, I think it would be helpful if the need for a tip was clearly stated on the voucher. Since the package included transportation and lunch, I only brought about ten dollars in cash, and I felt bad that I couldn't give a tip. Perhaps because of that, I still haven't received the photos that were supposed to be sent via email.

初めてのカヌーでしたが、ガイドのマサさんのお陰でなんとか往復できました。ただ、チップが別途必要であれば、バウチャーに明記してほしいと思います。というのも、送迎と昼食つきでしたので、１０ドル程度の小銭しか現金を持参しておらず、申し訳なかったのですが、チップをお渡しすることもできませんでした。そのためか、メールで送るといっていた写真もいまだ届かずです。

It was more fun than I imagined and became the best memory. I didn't think riding the waves could be so enjoyable and refreshing. I want to do it again! Just thinking about it makes me feel happy!

想像以上に楽しくて最高の思い出になりました。波に乗るのがあんなに楽しく気持ちのいいことだとは思いませんでした。また、やってみたいです！
思い出しただけでHappyな気持ちになります！

I had a great time when I went before, so it's so much fun that I participate regularly when I go to Hawaii! It's very spacious and has a lot to offer, so unlike in Japan, you can enjoy the attractions without waiting in long lines!

以前も行って楽しかったので、ハワイ行く時は定番で参加するぐらい楽しいです！
とても広く色々あるので、日本と違ってあまり並ばずにアトラクションが楽しめます！

I was really glad to see dolphins up close. It was considerate of them to continue until everyone could see, especially for those who missed out. The crew was also very lively and it was a lot of fun.

イルカが間近で見られて本当に良かったです。
見られなかった人がいたら全員見れるまでずっと続けてくれるので良心的でした。
クルーの方々もノリノリで楽しかったです。

The only available course was in the morning, so I made an effort to wake up early and drove from Waikiki. It was pouring rain around Kualoa Ranch in the morning, and I was worried it might get canceled, but the locals didn't seem to mind at all and proceeded with the check-in process. After confirming how to ride the horses with the Japanese instructions, I quickly got on the horse.

The warm body temperature was comforting, and I was first impressed by the completely different sensation compared to riding something inanimate. The tour was filled with a sense of adventure as we went down paths that were more rugged than I expected. The instructor who accompanied us didn’t just walk ahead; she moved around behind us, actively engaging with everyone in the group.

I made the right choice by signing up for the two-hour course! The view from the high ground of Kualoa Ranch was amazing, the air in the lush forest was refreshing, and everything felt wonderful. If I get the chance to come back to Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this experience.

朝一のコースしか空いておらず、頑張って早起きしてワイキキから車で向かいました。朝クアロアランチ周辺は大雨で、中止になるんじゃないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、現地の人たちは全く気にせずチェックイン手続きをしてくれました。日本語版の説明で馬の乗り方を確認した後、すぐに馬の背中へ。
温かい体温が心地よくて、無機物に乗る感覚とは全く違う感覚にまず感動。ツアーは思った以上に道なき道を進むアドベンチャー感満載でした。一人付いてくれたインストラクターのおねえさんも、ずっと前を歩くのではなく、後ろに回ったり足繁く動きながらグループ全員に声をかけてくれました。
二時間コースに申し込んで大正解！クアロアランチの高台から眺める最高の景色、しっとりとした森の中の空気、全てが気持ちよかったです。またハワイに来れたら、リピートします。

I was imagining more sandy beaches, but the sea was beautiful, the weather was nice, and the young staff members were energetic and provided enjoyable explanations, which was great. I also enjoyed the freshly grilled hamburgers.

もっと砂浜を想像してたのですが、
海はきれいだし、天気もよく、若いスタッフの方々が、元気で、説明も楽しく、良かったです
焼きたてのハンバーグも美味しくいただきました。

My first parasailing experience. The weather was clear and sunny. I took some motion sickness medication, but I felt a bit nauseous from the nerves, so I asked to go earlier in line. I was anxious before taking off, but once we started flying, it felt amazing and the time flew by. We were the only Japanese people there, but everyone waved at us while we were in the air, and it was a very friendly atmosphere. I would love to participate again.

初めてのパラセイリング。天気は快晴。酔い止めを飲んでいきましたが、緊張で酔いそうだったので、順番を早めてもらいました。飛ぶ前までは不安でしたが飛び始めたら、とっても気持ちがよくてあっという間のひと時でした。日本人は私達だけでしたが、飛んでる最中手を振ってくれたり皆さん和気あいあいとしていました。また、参加したいです。

Amazing from start to finish! Ami our guide was fabulous she has great charisma and really enjoys her life with the show and this is passed on during the tour - so much that we felt as if we were almost part of the five o family too( would be great!!!!!) The tour was delivered at the right pace - nothing was rushed, lots of time for questions, great inside information given with fabulous humour! Also this tour is small so it is personal,you see all the locations in the show ( characters houses etc) and we were lucky enough to visit and go inside Steve McGarretts house. THe owner was wonderful and spent time talking to each of us - she is divine! All in all a first class trip delivered by amazing people. Thank you so much - this is one experience to cherish.

Dissatisfaction points → You have to carry the thrill ride float up the stairs yourself. The restrooms and changing rooms are in the same location. Even though there are many food order windows, only about two are open, creating long lines. The all-you-can-eat plan has a very short operating time, only from 12:00 to 13:00. I thought the attractions themselves were somewhat interesting (the kids said they enjoyed it too), but I felt that there’s no need to take a bus for over an hour from Waikiki for the aforementioned reasons next time.

不満点→絶叫系のフロートを自ら抱えて階段を上がらなければならない。トイレと更衣室が同じところにある。食べ物注文窓口がいっぱいあるのに2か所くらいしか空いておらず長蛇の列が出来る。食べ放題プランでも窓口が12時から13時までのみの営業と営業時間が短すぎる。アトラクション自体はまあまま面白かったと思う（子供も面白かったといっている）が、前述のような点をわざわざワイキキから1時間以上もバスに揺られていく必要性は次からはないな、と思いました。

I participated with a friend. It took about 40 minutes from the meeting point to the boat dock. Upon arrival, we watched an explanation DVD (in Japanese) and boarded the boat. There was a female staff member who was a fourth-generation Japanese American and spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease.

The sea was quite rough with strong winds, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. There were about 30 participants, and although the waiting time was long, I didn't mind too much as I could see turtles swimming and enjoy the scenery. We waited while eating snacks that were like small bags of potato chips and drinking water.

It was late August, but it felt quite cold. Especially after diving, everyone was shivering, so I think it would be good to have something to wrap around you or a towel for your lower body. Some people brought waterproof cases for their smartphones to dive with, but the staff also took photos and videos. The photos cost $15 per person, and purchasing the videos costs a bit more, but the photos were sent to the email address I provided later. I was satisfied with how they turned out.

When entering and exiting the helmet part, you have to submerge your head, so it might be scary for those who are not comfortable putting their face in the water. I was wearing contact lenses, so I closed my eyes while going in and out. The glass part is telescopic, so I was told to take off my glasses, and my friend did so.

The time spent underwater flew by, but the instructor was with us one-on-one, so I was able to enjoy the underwater walk with peace of mind!

友達と二人で参加しました。
集合場所から船乗り場までは、40分くらいかかりました。到着すると、説明のDVD(日本語)を見て、船に乗り込みました。日系4世という日本語が分かる女性スタッフさんがいらっしゃったので、安心でした。
海上は風が強くて、かなりうねりがありますので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。
30人くらい参加者がいて、待ち時間が長かったですが、泳いでいる亀の姿が見えたり、景色を楽しんだりしていたので、それほど気になりませんでした。小さな袋に入ったポテチのようなお菓子を食べながら、お水を飲みながら待ちました。
8月の後半でしたが、かなり寒く感じました。特に潜った後はみなさんガタガタ震えていたので、羽織るものや下半身に巻くタオルなどがあった方がよいかと思います。
防水ケースにスマホを入れて潜る方もいらっしゃいましたが、スタッフの方が写真も動画も撮ってくれます。写真は一人15ドル、動画も購入するともう少しかかりますが、後日申告したメールアドレスに写真が送られてきました。写りもよかったので満足しています。
ヘルメット？の部分に入る時と出る時は、頭まで潜らないとダメなので、顔をつけるのが苦手な方は怖いかもしれません。私はコンタクトをしていたので、目をつぶって出入りしました。ガラスの部分が望遠になっているので、メガネは外してくださいと言われ友達はメガネを外していました。
海中にいる時間はあっという間でしたが、インストラクターさんが一対一でついてくださるので、安心して水中散歩を楽しめました！

The sandbar was only waist-deep, which was disappointing.
But I was able to see both turtles and manta rays!
The bus guide was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable tour.
I would like to participate again when I come back.
I hope to see the sandbar properly next time, though. (^^;)

サンドバーは腰までの位置だったので残念。
でもカメもマンタも見れました！
バスのガイドさんも陽気な人で、とても楽しいツアーでした。
また来たときは参加したいです。
出来ればちゃんとサンドバーが見たいですが(^^;)

My family and I have been on several horseback riding tours, and this one was certainly one of the best. For one, the staff were great! They were very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel like we were in good hands.The horses were extremely sweet and well-trained too. Additionally, the actual ranch where the riding took place was absolutely beautiful! We saw everything from a rare cave, to an amazing view of the ocean, which made for a bunch of great photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch to anyone in Oahu looking for a change of pace from the typical beach scene of Hawaii.

I was a little scared to go underwater, but since I had one-on-one assistance, I didn't feel scared at all. Above all, the staff were very kind and seemed to be having fun, which made me enjoy it too.
I made the reservation online two days before arriving in Hawaii, and it worked out perfectly.
The underwater scenery was truly beautiful. A lot of fish came close, and there were sea turtles as well.
I highly recommend it.

水中に入るのは少し怖かったのですが、マンツーマンで補助していただけるので、何も怖くなかったです。何よりもスタッフの皆さんがとても親切で楽しそうにしていて、こちらも楽しくなりました。
ハワイについてからの前々日にネットから予約したのですが、間に合いました。
水中の景色は本当に綺麗でした。魚が大漁に寄ってきました。ウミガメもいました。
おすすめします。

Wow, there were so many sharks! It was an amazing experience, and I was very satisfied!

While I was watching from inside the cage and waiting on the boat while other groups were having their turn, the boat was rocking a lot, and I felt like I might get seasick. There were a few people who actually got sick.

めちゃ、サメがいた〜。すご〜い経験ができて大満足!

ゲージの中で、見ている間と、船の上で、他のグループが体験している間待っている間が、とても船が揺れて酔いそうだった。酔ってる人が数人いた。

I participated in a tour that started at 11:00. I received a call about the pickup 30 minutes before, which left a good impression. They arrived on time, and we were able to depart. After setting sail on the boat, we searched for dolphins, but there weren't large groups, and those who saw them had very little time, which was disappointing. Since I didn't see any dolphins, I received a coupon for 50% off for my next visit on the way back. My family also enjoyed it, so I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time.

11時開始のツアーに参加しました。
お迎え30分前にホテルにお迎え予定の電話があり好印象。
時刻通り迎えがあり、出発出来ました。
船で出船後、イルカを捜しましたが大きな群れは無く、見れた人、時間も少しで残念でした。
イルカが見れなかったので帰りに次回50%offで使用できるクーポンをもらいました。
家族にも好評でしたので、次回ハワイへ来たらまた参加したいと思いました。

I participated to enjoy the last day in Hawaii with attractions like the water slide. The coin lockers are expensive, costing $13 for medium and $18 for large. On the Ohana Highway, my 11-year-old almost got thrown off the float and was quite scared. The Kapolei Cooler was supposed to be a lazy river, but there was no current, so we had to paddle ourselves, and there were a lot of floating objects, so we stopped after one round. The Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool was somewhat decent. Waikiki Beach might have been better.

ウォータースライダーなどハワイ最終日を楽しむため参加しました。
コインロッカーはMが13$,Lが18$で高い。
オハナ・ハイウェーで11歳のうちの子は浮き輪から放り出されそうになり、ビビってました。
カポレイ・クーラーは流れるプールのはずであるが、流れが無く自分で漕がないといけない状態であり、浮遊物も多く1周でやめました。
ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・ウェーブ・プールがまあまあ良かったかな。
ワイキキビーチの方が良かったかも知れません。

I was wondering what Sea Bob was like, and I was moved when I entered the sea. Fish the size of my palm gathered, attracted by the bread, and the sight was beautiful. After the Sea Bob experience, I was able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling. I experienced seven optional tours, but this was the most popular with my family.

シーbobどんなものかと思ってましたが、海に入り感動。
パン の餌に誘われて、手のひら大の魚が集まり、その光景が綺麗でした。
シーbob体験後のシュノーケリングは浮上した海亀を間近で見ることが出来ました。
7つのオプショナルツアーを体験しましたが、家族1番人気でした。

There are many wild dolphins closely, that's really amazing. However, if there is less people on the cruis that would be better. Overall, it is nice activity.

I made a reservation for the Standard 90! It was a clear sunny day! The boat was quite bumpy, but they went fast, and I found it really fun! The parasailing was high and scary, but I could see sea turtles, and I also got to see planes taking off from the airport and Diamond Head, which felt amazing! The captain was very enthusiastic about providing great service! Thank you very much!

スタンダード90で予約させていただきました！当日快晴！ボートはかなり揺れますが、スピードだしてくれて、わたしは、かなり面白かったです！パラセーリングは、高くて怖かったけど、ウミガメもみえて、空港から飛び立つ飛行機やダイヤモンドヘッドもみえて最高に気持ちよかったです！サービス精神旺盛なキャプテン！ありがとうございました！

Amy from Hawaii Jeep and Specialty Tours was really fantastic, up to date information and knowledgeable in relation to Hawaii Five O filming. Knows where their latest filming locations are, had movie scenes on the iPad to line up with location that where filmed.

Excellent Tour - very happy

I challenged myself to 150 meters. I had been looking forward to it since I made the reservation, and the view exceeded my expectations, making it a wonderful memory. The height of 150 meters was initially scary, but I got used to it quickly. A sense of unity developed among the participants, and I was able to connect with people from different countries. If you bring a digital camera, it seems that the guide will take photos for you while you're in the air.

150mに挑戦しました。予約した時からとても楽しみにしていましたが、期待以上の眺望で、とても良い思い出になりました。150mの高さも、最初は怖かったものの、すぐに慣れました。参加者同士も一体感が生まれ、違う国の方々と盛り上がることができました。デジカメを持参した場合、ガイドさんに手渡しておけば、空中での写真を撮ってくださるようです。

I decided to challenge myself to fly in the sky as a celebration of my upcoming 60th birthday. Since I was staying at the Hilton, it was only a 10-minute walk, so there was no time loss. I trusted the reviews that said even if my English wasn't great, everything would work out. As a result, everyone was so kind and skilled at helping me relax, so communication was no problem at all. Although it was only 120 meters, I enjoyed it enough. Thanks to the impressive work of the two crew members on the boat, I was able to shout and laugh loudly in the sky, feeling the thrill and becoming one with the wind. It was a great experience! I highly recommend it!

もうすぐ６０歳になるので記念に空を飛んでみようとチャレンジしました。まず宿泊がヒルトンなので歩いて１０分以内でタイムロスがない、さらに英語はダメだけど、どうにかなるというレビューを信じ当日を向かえました。その結果、皆さん優しいので緊張しないようにリラックスさせるのが上手なのでコミニュケーションも取れ全く大丈夫ですま。１２０ｍでしたが十分楽しめます。ボートの２人のクルーの見事な仕事ぶりのお陰で空の上で大声で叫んだり笑ったりスリルもあり風を感じ風と一体になれ良い経験でした。お奨めです！

The weather was great, and it was the best. There was a parking lot nearby that offered 6 hours of free parking. Afterward, you can take a leisurely walk to Kahanamoku Beach. The sandy beach is wide and not crowded.

天気にも恵まれ、最高でした。駐車場場も6時間無料が直ぐ近くにありました。終了後は、徒歩でカハナモクビーチでのんびり出来ます。砂浜も広く人が少ないでした。

I've been to Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first time parasailing! I went with a mix of anxiety and excitement, but there was nothing to worry about; it was incredibly safe and enjoyable, even more than I imagined.

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky was just breathtaking! We were blessed with beautiful weather, with a stunning blue sky and ocean. I don't think you can find such scenery anywhere else. I definitely want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイには10回以上行っていますが、なんと今回が初めてのパラセイリングでした！不安と期待とで胸を膨らませて行きましたが、不安なことは何一つなく、想像以上に安全で楽しめました。
空からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺められるなんてとにかく感激！お天気にも恵まれ、美しく青い空と海。こんな景色は他では見られないと思います。次回ハワイに行ったらまた是非やりたいです。

You can only have this kind of experience here! While you might think you can touch dolphins or kiss them at some aquariums, the unique experiences waiting for you here include swimming with dolphins and getting to touch them for a long time. However, the waiting time after the dolphin touch was quite long.

こんな体験は、ここでしかできません！
某水族館でもイルカタッチやイルカにチューはできるかと思われますが、イルカと一緒に泳いだり、イルカに長い時間タッチさせてもらうなど、ここでしかできない体験が待っています。
ただイルカタッチが終わったあとの待ち時間が長く待たされました。

Early pickup in Waikiki and flight to Hilo on The Big Island. Well organised with your group being led easily through the whole day. Exciting helicopter flight over the lava and craters and plenty of info given throughout. Coach tour for rest of day to see the National Volcano Museum, plenty of stops at different sites including the walk through the old lava tube, walking on old lava, seeing craters and steam vents. Also stopped at macadamia nut factory and fuschia gardens. It's a long day but well worth it. We were picked up at 4.30am and didn't get back to Waikiki until 8.30pm.

I was worried about my physical stamina, but I enjoyed it enough. I would like to use it again. I got tired from paddling, but it was fun!

体力的に心配してましたが、十分に楽しめました。
また利用したいですね。
パドルでバテましたが面白かったッス。

I was worried about getting seasick, so I took motion sickness medication after breakfast. I didn't get sick, but I was hit by an overwhelming drowsiness. The deeper we went, the darker it became, and the visibility wasn't that clear, so I dozed off and felt a bit out of it. If asked if I would go again, my answer would be NO. As mentioned in Manou Yamashita's book, in the morning, there were mostly Japanese people, so if you want to feel like you're abroad, I recommend the afternoon trips. In the morning, it was nice to have a Japanese guide and be able to listen to the explanations without headphones since there were many Japanese people... It was good that the shuttle bus dropped us off not at the original location, but partway, allowing us to get off in front of DFS without returning to the Sheraton. By the way, Manou recommended walking along the coast to the boarding area instead of taking the shuttle bus.

酔ってしまったら嫌だなあと思って、酔い止め薬を朝食後に飲みました。酔わなかったですけど、もの凄い眠気に襲われ、艦内は潜れば潜るほど暗くなるし、そこまで透明度も明瞭でないので、ウトウト、ぼーっとしてしまいました。もう1回行く？と聞かれたら、ＮＯ、です。山下マヌーさんの本に載っていた通り、午前中は、日本人がほとんどだったので、海外気分を感じたいのであれば、午後便がお勧めです。午前は、日本語ガイドになり、（日本人が多かったので）ヘッドフォンをつけずに解説を聞けるのは良かったと思いますが・・・。送迎バスの送りで、元の場所でなく、途中で、おろしてもらえたのは良かったです。（シェラトンまで戻らずにＤＦＳ前で降車できた）ちなみに、マヌーさんは、送迎バスで運んでもらうのではなく、海岸をずっと歩いて、乗船場まで行くことをオススメしていました。

My family and I have been to Hawaii several times, but have never been on a helicopter tour. I am so happy we chose to do this for the first time with Paradise Helicopters because it was a great time from start to finish. Initially, I was scared of flying in such a small aircraft, but our pilot Jay was so great and informative that my fears quickly disappeared and I was able to enjoy myself and see the island in a way that would be impossible from land. Additionally, there were complementary ginger chews and motion sickness bags in the helicopter which also helped make me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Hawaii in a fun and unique way!
