All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

My wife had a fever, so I had to participate alone, and I was the only Japanese person among 15 participants. However, both the staff and the captain were very cheerful and talked to me, so I had no worries! I just thought it would be safer to have some English conversation skills since all the explanations from the staff were in English.

妻が熱を出し急遽1人での参加になり、ましてや15人中私だけ日本人という事でしたがスタッフ、船長ともにとても陽気に話しかけてくれ不安はありませんでした！
ただスタッフからの説明など全て英語でのやりとりなのでいくらか英会話が出来た方が無難かなと思いました。

You can experience an amusement park in Hawaii with a reliable Japanese guide tour. Since the park is frequented by locals, it might be a unique experience. You'll have a private pool for a boogie board lesson, and those 30 minutes with Japanese tourists will surely become a memorable moment.

ハワイでアミューズメントパークとなかなかいけない経験を安心の日本人ガイドツアーに同行でいけます。
パークはロコの方多いのでなかなかない経験かも？
ブギーボードレッスンをプール貸し切りでやるのですが、
なかなか日本人の観光客晒しの30分は思い出になります。

I've never been close to a dolphin before, so actually being able to touch one was a new experience for me (they're softer than I expected).

The trainer that was with me was Christian, and he was exceedingly helpful and reassuring, adding various facts about dolphins and marine life throughout the encounter. Kolohe, the dolphin I met, was very friendly and well-behaved.

I think this is a great experience, especially for kids or others who don't know a lot about dolphins and marine life.

We participated as a family with our 1-year-old and 4-year-old children. It was their first time cruising. Fortunately, they didn't get seasick and were very satisfied with the beautiful sea and delicious hamburgers. The water level at the sandbar was high that day, so the kids couldn't put their feet in (but it wasn't a problem since I was holding them). We also got to see sea turtles, and it was a fun experience that created great memories.

1歳と4歳の子供を連れ、家族で参加しました。子供達は初めてのクルージングです。
ですが、乗り物酔いもなく綺麗な海と美味しいハンバーガーに大満足でした^ ^
その日はサンドバーの水位が高く、子供は足をつける事ができませんでしたが(抱っこしていたので問題なしです)
海亀も観れて終始楽しむ事ができ良い思い出となりました^ ^

I really wanted to go to the sandbar, and although I had given up because reservations were full, it seems there was a cancellation just before my departure. Checking VELTRA every day until the last minute paid off!

The weather was cloudy in the morning, but it was sunny at the location, making it incredibly beautiful! When I first got off the boat, I was surprised by how deep the water was. At 158 cm tall, I was submerged up to my chest. It probably varies by season, but those who are shorter should be cautious at first. However, after moving a little further in, I was able to walk, and the water was indeed beautiful! We also saw plenty of sea turtles. Later, we went snorkeling at another spot, but my husband and I stayed on the boat to watch everyone. The sea turtles swam quite close to those snorkeling.

Here are some notes I remember, which might be helpful for those planning to go:

- If you use a waterproof case for your smartphone (available at ABC Store) for too long, a "High Temperature Warning" message will appear on the screen, making it unusable! I wanted to take photos and videos the whole time, but be careful.
- During lunch, it's a buffet style on the boat, so there will be quite a line. Therefore, those who come out of the water early should line up as soon as possible.
- The wind is strong on the boat, so be careful as various items (like lettuce and snacks) on your lunch plate may blow away.
- There is a restroom on the boat, which is reassuring. However, the flushing mechanism can be a bit confusing at first. You need to press a larger lever located under the toilet to flush.
- If you just want to enjoy the scenery, you can stay on the boat the whole time, so you can participate with peace of mind.

Overall, it was a very satisfying tour! I would love to do it again!

どうしても行きたかったサンドバー、予約いっぱいで諦めてましたが、直前にキャンセルが出たのか?出発直前までVELTRAさんを毎日チェックしていた甲斐がありました。

天気は朝は曇ってましたが、現地では晴れたのでメチャメチャ綺麗でした♪
最初、船から降りた時には海が深くて驚きました。身長１５８で、胸がすっぽり隠れるくらいまで浸かってしまいました。時期によって違うのでしょうが、身長の低い方は最初要注意です。でも少しだけ進むと歩けるようになり、海はやっぱり綺麗でした！！
そしてウミガメもいっぱい見れました。後半別の場所でシュノーケリングをするのですが、私たち夫婦は船上でみなさんの様子を見てましたが、シュノーケリングしてる方のかなり近くまでウミガメが泳いでました。
以下、箇条書きで覚えている事を記載するので、これから行く方の参考に少しでもなれば♪

・スマホの防水ケース（ABCストアで売ってる）をずっと使用してるとスマホの画面に「高温注意」という文字が出て使用不可になる！ずっと写真、動画撮っていたいですが、注意です。
・ランチの時は船内でバイキング形式で順番に取っていくので、かなり並びます。なので、海から早く上がった人は早めに並んだ方が◎。
・船上は風が強いので、ランチのプレートに乗せた色々（レタスとかスナックとか）飛ばされるので注意です。
・船内にもトイレがあるので安心です。が、水の流し方が一見分かりにくいです。便器の下にある大き目のレバー？みたいなのを押すと流れます。
・景色だけ楽しみたい方は、ずっと船上にもいれるので安心して参加できます。

全体的に大満足のツアーでした＾＾
またリピートしたいです！

This was amazing! I am so glad we picked this as an activity! I would do this again if we ever make it back to Oahu. We saw sharks from the minute we got out and they were around us the entire time. It was a little intimidating at first, but the guides were always watchful above and below the water so I felt as safe as you possible could be given the chosen activity. The only thing I would say could be better was finding what area you are suppose to be to board the boat, there are no signs for check in or really where you are suppose to be and I wish I would have taken my camera I wanted some pictures but felt the group rate was too high. I would recommend this to anyone!

The content of the tour was good, but it rained and was cold on the day, so I gave up on seeing the coral reefs. Also, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, so the beach was not visible.

ツアーの内容は良かったのですが、当日雨が降って寒かったのでサンゴ礁をみるのは断念しました。またサンドバーも満潮で砂浜は見えませんでした。

I was wondering what it would be like, but it was super fun! If I get the chance next time, I definitely want to try again. Maybe I'll go for 150m next time...

どんなものかと思いきや、超楽しかったですね。
次回チャンスがあれば是非再トライしてみたいです。
今度は150mがいいかな・・・

I didn't try it before because I was alone, but this time I gave it a shot with my friend! I challenged myself with the longest rope, and it felt so good that I could have gone even higher. The view was great, and it was the best experience! I could have done it forever! 😊

以前は1人だったのでトライしなかったんですが、友達と行ったので今回はトライしました‼️
1番ロープも長いものにチャレンジしましたが、もっともっと高くてもいいくらい気持ちよくて、景色も良くて最高でした！
ずーっとしてたいくらいでした(^^)

I asked them not to drop it in the sea, but it was dropped anyway, and I was a bit scared when they took the tip as if it were a threat on the way back.

海に落とさないでほしいとゆったのに、しっかり落とされたのと、帰りにチップを脅迫のようにとられたのがすこし怖かったです。

At first, I was torn between the 2-hour course and the 1-hour course, but after seeing other people's reviews, I chose the 1-hour course and had plenty of fun! If I had chosen the 2-hour course, I might have gotten bored because it would have been too long...

The horseback riding course does not include transportation from Waikiki, so I was a bit anxious about getting there on my own, but if you act early and give yourself enough time, it's totally fine.

It really became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

最初は2時間コースと迷ったのですが、他の方の書き込みを見て1時間コースにしましたが、十分楽しめました！！
2時間コースにしたら長すぎて飽きてしまったかもしれません。。。
乗馬のみのコースはワイキキからの送迎がないので自分達で行くのに少し不安でしたが、早めの行動で時間に余裕をもっていけば全然大丈夫でした。
本当にとても良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

Great company! Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend pay the extra for the pictures...great job and a fun way to hold onto memories!

I waited for 30 minutes at the meeting point on the day, but the pickup car did not arrive, so I returned to the hotel and had the hotel concierge call. They said on the phone that they had gone to the meeting point on time. On another day, they arranged for me to be picked up at the hotel where I was staying. The driver was very engaging, and I had a great time. During parasailing, there was always music playing on the boat, creating a lively atmosphere. There were two employees, and the airtime was probably about 5 to 6 minutes. At the end, as is customary, I was dropped into the sea. I chose the 150 meters, and I think it was a good choice. The view was truly amazing! I tipped $10 for both of them. They also provided transportation back to the hotel. I'm glad I chose this company, and I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

当日待ち合わせ場所で30分待っていましたが、迎えの車が来ずホテルに戻り、ホテルのコンシェルジュに電話してもらいました。電話では待ち合わせ場所に時間通りに迎えにいったとのことでした。別の日に、ずらしてもらえることになり、会社のはからいで当日は宿泊しているホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。迎えの車ではドライバーが盛り上げてくれる方で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。パラセイリングでは常に船では音楽が流れていて、ノリノリです。従業員は二人で、滞空時間はおそらく5.6分です。最後にはお決まりのやつで海に落とされます。私は150メートルを選びましたが、150メートルでよかったと思います。本当に眺めが最高です！チップは二人分で10ドルにしました。帰りもホテルまで送迎してくれました。この会社を選んで良かったと思います。また行く機会があればやりたいです。

I participated in the local gathering because I wanted to explore various places. For some reason, there were no other Japanese people, and the rest were mostly foreigners, divided into three groups to enter the cage. I took motion sickness medication, but it swayed quite a bit. Even when stationary, it still swayed, so I think it's better to avoid it if you're not feeling well. There are many awake animals, but they seemed quite used to people, so it wasn't particularly scary. However, if you get too close, the cage itself might seem like it could let an Asian-sized person slip out, which could be frightening. Activities like this are not available in Japan, and I really enjoyed it.

他にも色々回りたかったために現地集合で参加しました。なぜか日本人は他にいなくあとは外国の方ばかりで３つのグループに分かれゲージに入ります。酔い止め飲んでいましたが、かなり揺れます。止まっていても揺れるので体調が悪い状況では特にやめた方がいいと思います。また覚めはたくさんいますが、基本人馴れしているのかあまり怖いという状況はなかったです。かといってあまり近すぎてもゲージ自体がアジア人の体型なら抜けていきそうなので、怖いと思います。こういったアクティビティは日本にはないしかなり楽しめました。

I participated with my wife, who had her wedding ceremony in Hawaii on the 13th. It was both of our first times surfing. Since I had experience with snowboarding, I was able to catch waves from the first try. My wife was also able to ride well from her second attempt! Riding the waves and returning to the point used muscles I had never used before, and I was really exhausted. However, the instructor was very kind and taught us even though his Japanese was limited, and I was very satisfied! For those trying it for the first time, it can be hard to get into in Japan, but I think it's great to challenge yourself in Hawaii!

13日にハワイで式を挙げた嫁と参加しました。
2人ともサーフィンは初めてでした。私はスノーボードをやってたこともあり、1回目から波にのることが出来ました。嫁も2回目からしっかりのれていました！
波にのっては、ポイントに戻りで今まで使ったことのない筋肉をつかい、すごくバテました。。
でも、インストラクターの方も片言の日本語とはいえ、優しく教えてくれて大満足でした！！
初めての方も、日本ではなかなか手が出ませんが、ハワイでチャレンジしてみるのもいいと思います！

I enjoyed the water slide.
The shuttle service was helpful, so I didn't need to rent a car.
The sea can be sticky, but the pool feels great.

ウォータースライダーが楽しめました。
送迎付きでレンタカーいらずも助かります。
海はべたつきますし、プールが気持ちいいです。

I think we waited for the pickup bus for over 15 minutes. It was the longest wait time for a bus among the optional tours.

Once we arrived, the locker for storing our bags had a machine panel that reflected the sun, making it really hard to see and operate. After that, since there was no key for the locker, we headed to the pool hands-free and light!

Maybe because it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and we could go on the slides without much waiting. Basically, I floated in the wave pool the whole time.

The most thrilling slide was the Shaka! My husband even let out an "Oh!" while going down. The Tornado was also fun, so we went on it twice, but I ended up hitting my backside hard against the pool because the hole for the tube was quite big. Even after returning to Japan, I still feel a tingling sensation when I sneeze... haha.

It rained at times, but we used that as a break to eat. Overall, we had a well-balanced and really fun time!

I applied sunscreen, but it seems it wasn't enough, and I ended up getting a terrible sunburn. I regretted not wearing a rash guard. I got sunburned so badly that it hurts just to touch it, so for those with sensitive skin or fair complexions, I think it's better to apply sunscreen frequently or protect your skin with a rash guard.

ピックアップのバスは15分以上は待ったかと思います。オプショナルツアーの中では1番バス待ち時間が長かったな。
着いてから荷物をしまうロッカーは、操作する機械のパネルが太陽を反射して全然見えなくて手惑いました。それが済んだら、ロッカーの鍵もないので手ぶらで身軽にプールへ！
平日だからか空いていて、スライダーに大して並ばずどんどん乗れます。基本的には波のプールでずっとプカプカしていました。
スライダーで1番スリルがあったのはシャカでした！夫も「おおお」と声が漏れていました。
トルネードも楽しかったので2回乗りに行きましたが、チューブのお尻を乗せる穴の部分が大きかったせいか、お尻をプールに強打しました。
日本に帰ってきてからもくしゃみするとまだ痺れる感じです…笑

時に雨も降りましたが、その時は休憩としてご飯食べてました。総じてバランス良く遊べてとっても楽しかったです！

日焼け止めを塗っていましたが全然足りなかったようで、ものすごく日焼けしてしまいました。ラッシュガードを着ていった方が良かったな〜と後悔しました。触るだけで痛いくらいガッツリ日焼けしてしまったので、肌が弱い方や色白の方…日焼け止めをこまめに塗るか、ラッシュガードなどで肌を守った方がいいと思います。

It's a one-hour show, but it's not boring at all. It had not only impersonations but also a touch of Hawaii. It might be worth seeing at least once.

1時間のショーですが、飽きないですね。
ものまねショーだけではなく、ハワイらしさもありました。一度は良いかもしれません。

This trip exceeded expectations. The sandbar and turtle viewing was great but the best part was the snorkeling. Probably the best snorkeling I've ever had. Lunch really hit the spot after some fun on the water. Would def do it again!

I wanted to take a stroll in Waikiki, so I opted for a meet-up without transportation, but I got lost! When I entered "Hawaiian Parasail" into Google Maps, it guided me there somehow. However, I couldn't make it by the 8:45 meeting time and was 10 minutes late. I was sweating as I spoke to the staff at the counter, but they said it was fine since the activity starts at 9:00.

The boat was quite rocky, and many people were feeling seasick, with some even reversing. However, looking at the parachutes in the air helps reduce motion sickness! It looks quite scary at first, but once you're on it, it's exhilarating and not scary at all! You can even take photos with your phone in a waterproof case.

I chose a medium length for the rope, but it might feel like there's not much difference among the options. Since it's close to Waikiki and you can see Diamond Head beautifully, I recommend doing this activity!

ワイキキをお散歩したかったので送迎なし現地集合にしましたが、迷いました！！
グーグルマップにハワイアンパラセイルと入力すると出てきてくれたので何とか辿り着けましたが…。
8:45の集合時間には間に合わず10分遅刻。汗だくで窓口のお姉さんに話しかけると9:00〜だから大丈夫とのこと。
ボートはかなり揺れるので船酔いしてる方も多かったです。リバースしている方も。
飛んでいるパラシュートを見ると酔いにくいですよ！
見た目はかなり怖いですが乗ってみると爽快で怖さはありません！防水ケースに入れた携帯で撮影もできる余裕があります。
ロープの長さは中くらいのにしましたが体感的にはどれもあまり変わらないかもしれません…。
ワイキキから近くダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見えるのでこちらで乗られることをお勧めします！

After researching about the sandbar, I found that it's recommended to visit on days when the water depth is below zero meters at low tide, so I chose a perfect day to participate.

However! When I arrived, the water depth was around knee height. I couldn't encounter the sandbar floating in the sea.

The snorkeling afterwards was also not satisfactory in terms of visibility and the number of fish. According to a local lady, it was due to several days of heavy rain. I think those who want to enjoy snorkeling properly should arrange a separate opportunity to do so.

Although the sandbar and snorkeling did not meet my expectations, the guides on the boat were very kind and pleasant, making the tour itself enjoyable.

It was also nice to receive a warm drink after coming out of the sea.

サンドバーについていろいろ調べると干潮時に水深が０メートル以下になる日がオススメということで、バッチリな日を選んで参加しました。

しかーし！現地に行って見ると水深は膝の高さあたり。海に浮かぶサンドバーには遭遇できませんでした。

その後のシュノーケリングも透明度・魚の数ともに満足いくレベルではなかったです。現地のお姉さんが仰るには数日雨が多かったためとのこと。シュノーケリングがしっかりしたい人は別途きちんと満喫できる機会を設けた方がいいと思います。


目的のサンドバーやシュノーケリングはあまり満足いくものではありませんでしたが、船でいろいろ説明をしてくれたガイドの方々はとても親切で感じが良かったのでツアー自体はよかったです。

海から上がった後に暖かい飲み物がもらえたのもよかったですね。

Guests at Prince Waikiki may not need a shuttle. The location is right in front of the boat harbor.

After arriving, we waited a bit and it seemed like the previous group had just returned. After a break for the crew, we also set off.

Even while waiting in line, they work hard to keep the excitement going.

120 meters is quite high, and the exhilaration is amazing! The duration is longer than for others, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea, cityscape, and Diamond Head.

プリンスワイキキ宿泊者は送迎不要かも。場所は目の前のボートハーバーです。

到着後、少し待っているとどうも前の組が帰ってきた様子。船員さんの休憩時間を挟んでこちらも出発。


順番待ちの間も一生懸命盛り上げてくれます。

120メートルはかなり高く爽快感がすごいです！時間も他の方より長く、存分にハワイの海と街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドを楽しめます。

It was my first time parasailing in my life.

It felt amazing, and I enjoyed it more than a poorly designed roller coaster.

I might just get hooked on parasailing!

人生初のパラセーリングでした。

とても気持ちよく、下手なジェットコースターより楽しめました。

パラセーリングハマりそうになるくらいでした。

If your looking to spend a beautiful morning in the water followed by a great lunch with highly informative guides then this is for you. I am a highly anxious person and they made you feel at ease and also catered for my allergy to gluten with the whole lunch being gluten free! Picked us up from our hotel and returned us after lunch. Couldn't of been easier!

The paddleboarding at the sandbar didn't go well because of the strong wind, but the underwater scooter was great! The diver took some photos for us, which made for a nice memory. Watching the turtles swim gracefully made me feel very calm.

サンドバーでやったパドルボートは風が強くてうまく行かなかったけれど、
水中スクーターはとても良かった！
ダイバーの方が写真も撮ってくれて、いい記念になりました。
亀が優雅に泳いでいて、とても穏やかな気持になれました。

I saw Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii on TV before and wanted to go, so I signed up for this tour. The round-trip bus was close to the hotel, and there was guidance in Japanese on the way there, which was helpful. There was also Japanese translation for renting lockers, so there were no issues. The place was not crowded, so I was able to enjoy the slides with almost no waiting time. You can't experience that at famous pools in Japan...

Since there was an all-you-can-drink soft drink plan, it was nice not to have to carry money or cards except for lunch.

I had a great time and I'm satisfied!

以前テレビでウェットアンドワイルドハワイを見て、行きたくなりこのツアーに申し込みました。
往復のバスはホテルの近くでしたし、行きのバスの中では日本語での案内があり、助かりました。
ロッカーを借りるのにも日本語変換があり、問題なかったです。
現地は空いていたのでスライダーも待ち時間はほとんどなく充分に楽しめました。日本の有名プールではこうはいかないですよね。。。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題プランだったので、お金やカードを昼食以外は持ち出さな くて良かった点も楽でした。

楽しい時間を過ごせて満足です！

Each attraction can accommodate up to four people at a time, allowing us to enjoy many rides without waiting in line. We especially loved the Volcano and Tornado, riding them three or four times. The challenge was climbing up, balancing our stamina and time.

It was incredibly fun, but I did injure my tailbone when I landed after the Tornado ride, and my swimsuit tore slightly. I also experienced whiplash when I fell during the Shaka ride, which made me feel that this amusement park would never be possible in Japan, where complaints are taken very seriously.

The heat was intense, and not only did I get sunburned, but the concrete felt like it was burning the soles of my feet. We wore reef shoes, so we were fine, but it seemed many people were barefoot or took off their flip-flops at the entrance of the attractions and came back for them later.

We chose the all-you-can-eat BBQ course with bodyboarding lessons. The BBQ had a limited selection, but we were full from the steak and teriyaki chicken.

As for the bodyboarding, it wasn't really a lesson; we just had a private pool to practice riding the waves. The all-you-can-drink option was fantastic! By showing the red wristband, we could choose from several drinks in paper cups. It was great to have something to sip on whenever we got thirsty!

At the entrance, we were disappointed to have to throw away our unopened plastic bottles, but since they warm up quickly, I highly recommend the all-you-can-drink option.

各アトラクションが一度に4人とかすべれることもあり、並ばずにたくさん遊べました。特にボルケーノ、トルネードなど気に入ったものは3、4回乗りました。あとは上まで登る体力と時間との勝負。
すごくすごく楽しかったのですが、トルネードで落ちて着地したときに尾てい骨を打って水着がやぶけ軽く怪我したのと、シャカで落ちた瞬間重力に首が持ってかれてムチウチ状態になったので、残念ながらクレーマーに弱い日本には絶対できることのない遊園地だなと感じました。
照りつけるような熱さで、日焼けだけじゃなく、コンクリートなので足の裏が焼けそうでした。私たちはリーフシューズを履いていたので平気でしたが、みんな裸足か、アトラクション入口でビーサンを脱いでまた取りに来る、という人が多かったように思います。
BBQ食べ放題とボディボードレッスン付きのコースにしました。BBQは、種類は少ないですが、ステーキと照り焼きチキンでお腹いっぱいになりました。
ボディボードは？？レッスンではなく、ただひたすら波の出るプールを貸し切って波に乗る練習をするだけでした。
ドリンク飲み放題もついていて、これはすごくよかったです。赤いリストバンドを見せると紙コップのドリンクを数種類選べます。ちょっと喉かわいたら飲めるのが最高！
入口の検査で、ペットボトルは開封してないのに捨てさせられて残念でしたが、ペットボトルはすぐぬるくなるので、ドリンク飲み放題はオススメです。

It's a very enjoyable show that feels like a time slip back to my youth. The handsome Elvis, even though I knew he was an impersonator, drew me in as if he were the real Elvis. Next was Michael, who embodies my own youth! I found myself naturally moving to the rhythm and singing along.

As for the food, it was centered around meat dishes with flavors that suit Japanese tastes. I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from the buffet at a Hawaiian event, but the food was very satisfying.

At the end of the show, there was a photo opportunity with the performers! I got to take pictures with everyone and was so excited. I will definitely participate again next time.

青春時代にタイムスリップしたようなとても楽しいショ－です。
イケメンのエルビス、なんだかそっくりさんとわかっていても、本物のエルビスと勘違いしてい引き込まれてしまいました。
つぎにマイケル、私自身の青春時代そのもの！自然に体がリズムをとり、いっしょに口ずさんでいる自分に気づきました。
食事ですが、肉料理が中心で日本人の口に合う味付けされており、失礼ですがハワイのイベントビュッフェの料理と期待しておりませんでしたが、とても満足できる料理でした。
ショ－の終わりは出演者との写真撮影！全員と写真を撮って頂き、とてもはしゃいでしまいました。次回もまた参加致します。

I participated with 10 colleagues from work! It seems that even those who are not fond of heights enjoyed it, which is great. The weather was perfect✨ I'm glad we were able to create wonderful memories. For those who have never been on a small boat or are prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is essential!! I recommend preparing what works for your body in advance!

会社の同僚10人で参加しました！高い所が苦手な方でも楽しめたようでよかったです。天気も最高でした✨いい思い出作りが出来てよかったです。小型の船に乗ったことのない方や、乗り物酔いしやすい方は、酔い止め必須です！！身体にあったものを自分で準備しておくことをお勧めします！

Thank you Jenner and crew for a wonderful day! The sandbar is beautiful and snorkeling was the highlight of the day. This trip is something we will remember for years.
