All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

this was a great day with plenty of variety. The guide we had was able to continue (seemingly without drawing breath) with an informative and entertaining history of the site. At the same time driving safely and ensuring that we didn't miss a thing.

After the plane arrived, I went straight there. I was sleepy from the time difference, but I had so much fun that I forgot my fatigue. For lunch, I ate at the concession stand, but I thought the system of waiting 15 minutes in the ordering lane and then another 15 minutes in the receipt lane to get my order was a bit much. Since you can't bring in food or drinks, you have to eat there. Other than that, I had a great time and was satisfied. I want to go again. I recommend this way for those who want to adjust to the time difference. You can sleep well at night!

飛行機到着後、すぐに行ってきました。時差で眠たかったけど楽しくて疲れを忘れました。お昼は売店で食べたのですが、オーダーするレーンで１５分まってさらに注文を受けとるレーンでレシートを持って１５分待たなくてはいけないシステムはどうにかならないかなーと思いました。ご飯類飲み物などは持ち込めないのでここで食べないと食べれません。それ以外は楽しくて満足しています。また行きたいです。時差ボケを修正したい方はこの行き方をお勧めします。夜はゆっくり眠れますよー

Sandbar. I was really looking forward to it! However, it was unfortunately rainy and cold in late March. I recommend bringing a jacket and a large towel. Nonetheless, the tour was really fun, I got to see sea turtles, and the food was delicious, so I was very satisfied. Next time, I want to go back on a sunny day!

サンドバー。とっても楽しみにしてました！ただ、三月後半でしたが生憎の雨で、寒かったー。上着や大きめバスタオルを持っていくことをお勧めします。ただ、ツアーはほんとに楽しくて、途中ウミガメもみれたし、ご飯も美味しく、大満足でした。次回は晴れた日にリベンジしたい！

Last time, in August, it was incredibly hot, and I couldn't walk without flip-flops. Additionally, there were many people, and we had to wait a lot in line. However, this time in early March, it wasn't cold and was quite comfortable. There weren't many people, so we could ride our favorite attractions multiple times without much waiting, which was great.

Last time, we went on a tour that included a BBQ, but the food was served in a tent-like area, and the tough meat provided wasn't very tasty. This time, we opted for just the free drinks and bought hot dogs, French fries, and fried chicken from the concession stand. The prices were cheaper this time, and the food was delicious, which was a nice change.

Our family loves thrill rides, so we definitely want to go back when we visit Hawaii again.

前回は8月ということもあり、ものすごく暑く、ビーチサンダルなしでは歩けないほどでした。
更に、人も多く、順番待ちの時間が多かったですが、今回は3月初旬だったので、寒いわけでもなく、過ごしやすかったです。また、人も多くなく、ほとんど順番待ちをせずに、好きなものを何回でも乗ることが出来て良かったです。
前回はBBQ付きのツアーで行きましたが、テントみたいな場所で、用意されたかたいお肉で、あまり美味しくなかったので、今回はフリードリンクだけ付けて、食事は売店で、ホットドッグやフライドポテト、フライドチキンを買いました。値段も今回の方が安く、美味しかったので良かったです。
絶叫系が好きな我が家はハワイに行ったら、また行きたいと思っています。

I boarded on March 23, 2017, but I didn't see any whales at all. Therefore, I received a re-boarding ticket valid until January 31, 2018. I plan to come back to Hawaii again before the expiration date! ♬

2017/3/23に乗船しましたが、鯨は全く見れませんでした。そのため、2018/1/31まで有効な再乗船券をもらいました。期限内までにまたハワイに来ようと思いました♬

We arrived early and had a few problems getting on board because I couldn't find my eVoucher.
But, the staff was very friendly and helped me find my information.
While on board everything was very comfortable and there was plenty of room to walk around.
Food was OK but you can't beat the views of the island from the south shore.

It was more fun than I expected.
Even though I couldn't communicate in Japanese, I managed to get by with the vibe.
I purchased the photo data, and I'm glad they took so many pictures.
You can enjoy it even if you're not good with roller coasters!

思ってた以上に楽しかった。
日本語は通じないがノリでなんとか‥
写真のデーターを購入したが、たくさん撮ってくれてて良かった。
ジェットコースターが苦手でも楽しめますよ～

Since it was March, the water was still cold for snorkeling, and we didn't see many sea turtles, but we had plenty of free time at the sandbar. We were able to take photos with the instructor and play with a ball, fully enjoying our time at the sandbar. It was also great that we were served freshly made hamburgers on the boat. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

3月だったためシュノーケルにはまだ水が冷たかったり、ウミガメがあまり見れなかったりはしましたが、サンドバーでの自由時間が十分に確保されていて、インストラクターさんに写真を撮ってもらったり、ボールで遊んだりと、サンドバーを満喫することができました。船でできたてのハンバーガーを出していただいたのもとても良かったです。またハワイに行く時は是非参加したいです。

I couldn't see any whales.
I guess the season is probably over.

I'm not sure if there was a reboarding coupon or not. I don't have it on hand, but since it's only valid during the same season, it wouldn't matter anyway.

I signed up because the price was cheap, but I didn't do enough research.

クジラ見られませんでした。
たぶんもうシーズンoffなんでしょうね。

再乗船クーポンはあったのかなかったのかよくわからんし？
手元にありませんが、まあ同一シーズン中有効なだけなのでどうせ使えません。

値段が安いので申し込みましたが、下調べが足りませんでした。

I was looking forward to the cruise, but unfortunately, no whales appeared. We participated in the morning cruise, but I later heard from locals that there is a relatively better chance of seeing them in the afternoon. Since our travel schedule was tight, we didn't need tickets for a re-boarding. The breakfast before departure was delicious.

期待して乗船したのですが、残念ながら鯨は現れませんでした。私達は午前のクルーズに参加しましたが、後から現地の方に聞いた話では比較的午後のほうが現れるチャンスがあるのだとか。。。。旅行のスケジュールがタイトだったので再乗船のチケットは不要でした。出発前の朝食はおいしかったです。

It's the same every year and boring.
This year it was cold, and the sea wasn't blue.
I couldn't see any turtles at all.

There were too many people.

毎年おなじでつまらない。
今年は寒く、海は青くなかった。
かめもまったくみれなかった。

人数多すぎる

I participate every year as usual. This time, the ship's anchor was malfunctioning, and we were stranded on the sea for nearly an hour.

It might be popular, but it’s gradually becoming boring... I won’t go anymore. It’s always the same.

毎年恒例のように参加。
今回は船のイカリが調子が悪く1時間近く海の上で立往生。

人気かもしれないがだんだんつまらなくなる・・・
もういかない。
いつもかわりばえしない。

I know it's just the luck of the draw and bad timing but 5 or 6 people got sick on our trip due to high waves. Maybe cancelling the trip would have been best because after all that, the provided meal was not at all appetizing. Yes we saw a couple green sea turtles, but it would have been much, much better without the fear of human projectile.

Everyone here was very helpful and eager to make sure you have everything you need. They also have some of the full face snorkel masks. Ask for one. Otherwise you'll get the same old and its hardest for a novice to remember to breath through the mouth alone.

Understanding the boats cannot come closer than 100 yards, outs seemed to stay 200-300 yards away. Unless you have a telephoto lens, just use your eyes and retain the memory because any other camera, including phones and GoPros, will just show the whales as a small blip.

There were no sudden rises or drops, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! It was amazing to see Diamond Head right in front of me. I flew higher than the seagulls and enjoyed a walk in the sky.

急上昇や急降下もなく、安心して楽しむことができました！ダイヤモンドヘッドが目の前に見えて最高でした。カモメよりも高く飛んで、空の散歩を楽しむことができました。

My parents in their 70s participated (I had to act separately because I have children). The weather was nice, and it seems they had a wonderful cruise. They were able to see plenty of whales and got a close view of Diamond Head.

Since it's an early morning tour, it can be tough, but you can make good use of the afternoon, so I recommend the morning tour. Even my parents, who are in their 70s and have no English skills at all, enjoyed participating. If you're considering optional tours for a three-generation trip, definitely think about this tour. It will surely create wonderful memories.

70代の両親が参加しました。(私は子供がいるため別行動)
天気も良く素晴らしいクルーズになったようです。
クジラも十分に見ることができ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも間近に見れたそうです。

朝早いツアーなので大変ですが、午後からの時間を有効に使えるので午前のツアーがオススメです。
70代の英語が全くだめな両親でも楽しく参加できました。
もし三世代旅行のオプショナルツアーに迷っていたらぜひこのツアーを検討してみてください。きっと素晴らしい思い出になること間違いなしです。

The couple who are instructors worked together seamlessly. First, they took photos after we arrived at Hanauma Bay, and then we chose our fins. We rented wetsuits to prevent scratches from the coral and because the seawater was cold, which turned out to be a great decision! Thanks to this, both my child and I were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. I absolutely recommend it for sunburn prevention as well.

Before entering the water, they explained how to use the mask and snorkel in a very easy-to-understand way, and after we got in, they taught us how to move, which allowed my 6-year-old son to enjoy himself without any issues. They also took many underwater photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

After swimming, they prepared snacks and water for us, and we were grateful for it as we were craving hydration and salt! I would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii! Thank you very much!

ご夫婦でインストラクターをされているとのことで、息のあったお二人が担当して下さいました。
まずハナウマ湾に到着してから写真を撮ってくださり、その後足ヒレを選びました。
海水が冷たいこと、珊瑚での擦り傷防止にウエットスーツをレンタルしましたが、これは大正解でした！
このお陰で親子共々快適にシュノーケリング出来たと思います。
日焼け防止の為にも絶対にオススメです。
水に入る前に、とても分かりやすくマスクとシュノーケルの使い方を説明していただき、水に入ってからも動き方を教えてくださったお陰で、6歳の息子も問題なく楽しむことができました。
また水中写真も沢山撮ってくださって、とても素敵な想い出になりました♪
泳ぎ終わったあと、スナックとお水を用意してくださっていて、水分&塩分を欲していた私たちはありがたくいただきました！
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加させていただきたいです(^^)
ありがとうございました！

I requested the advanced course. A Japanese participant mentioned that this is the only place on Oahu where you can do cantering, and they said they visited various places before finding this one. They adjust to the participants' levels, but we started running early on (laughs).

The wind felt nice, and the scenery was very beautiful, making it a fun experience. The horses were all quite relaxed as well.

上級者コースを頼みました。その時一緒になった日本人の方曰く、オアフの乗馬で駈歩ができるのはここのみで、その方はガンストックを見つけるまでに色々巡ったそうです。
参加者のレベルにも合わせてくれますが、始まって早々に走りました（笑）

風が気持ち良く、景色もとても綺麗で楽しかったです。馬たちもみんなのんびりしていました。

There was also an 86-year-old grandfather in another group, and he seemed to be having a great time flying. Everyone except us was experiencing the 90m flight, but they returned quite quickly. The 150m flight clearly offers a longer flying time and is more enjoyable, so I recommend it. You might feel a bit confused at first when you get on, but leaning back properly will provide more stability!

別のグループに86歳のおじいさんもいましたが、楽しそうに飛んでらっしゃいました。私達以外は90mの体験をしてましたが、結構あっという間に帰ってきてました。150mは明らかに飛んでる時間も長く、より楽しめますので、お勧めです。乗るときは初めは戸惑うかもしれませんが、後ろにしっかりと体重をかけた方が安定します！

Maybe I was expecting too much. Since we went on a large bus and a big boat, there were a lot of people, and we had to line up for snorkeling, which made it difficult to move and we kept bumping into others. It was also disappointing that there weren't many fish; there were more at Waikiki Beach, haha. Snorkeling was hard because I didn't have fins, so it was tough to get around. Next time, I want to choose a different optional tour with a smaller group.

期待しすぎていたのかな。
大型バス、大型の船で行くので人が多くて、シュノーケリングも列で並んで進まないといけないし、人にぶつかるし、あまり魚がいないのも残念だった。ワイキキビーチの方が魚いた笑
シュノーケリングは足ヒレがないからなかなか進みずらかった。
今度は少人数での別のオプショナルツアーにしたいと思う。

A great day's activity and a very active one too. Very scenic some beautiful spots. The weather was hot so bring lots of water. Guides were awesome and knowledgeable.

I'm afraid of heights, but my husband really wanted to try it, so I challenged myself at the lowest height. It was higher than I expected and scary, but it was fun and over in no time. At the end, you splash into the sea, so it's best to wear something that can get wet! The transportation staff and the boat crew were also very kind!

高所恐怖症なのですが、夫が是非やりたいと言い、1番低い高さに挑戦しました。
予想より高く、こわかったですが、あっと言う間で楽しかったです。
最後、海にポチャンするので、濡れても大丈夫な格好がいいです！
送迎の方も、船のスタッフも親切でした！

I would highly recommend this tour. It was very fun, staff were all amazing and we got amazing photos and views of Honolulu. Great short trip (a few hours). We got to see a school of dolphins swimming along the boat which was also amazing.

It was a jungle hike.
We crossed a small stream and went through a bamboo grove.
We climbed muddy areas and steep slopes.
I thought it might be tough for small children and elderly people.
I got bitten by a lot of mosquitoes.
The guide provided water, cookies, insect repellent spray, and a small pouch.
There are no restrooms, so we were told to go in the mountains.
In addition to my friend and me, there were six other participants, all from the mainland United States.
The entire tour was in English.
It was a valuable experience.

ジャングルハイキングでした。
小川を渡ったり竹やぶを通ったりしました。
ぬかるんだ場所や急な坂を上ったりしました。
小さなお子さんやご年配の方には厳しいかと思いました。
たくさん蚊にさされました。
水、クッキー、虫除けスプレー、小物入れポーチはガイドさんが用意してくれます。
お手洗いはありませんので、山の中でどうぞと言われました。
私と友人の他に6人参加していましたが、
皆さんアメリカ本土からの方でした。
すべて英語でのツアーです。
貴重な体験でした。

The seats you are guided to when you board the ship are just for the initial explanation, so don't worry if your seat doesn't have a view of the sea. After the explanation, you can freely go out to the deck. Since the wind can be cold, I recommend bringing something to wear. I was able to see the whales jumping clearly. I also saw swimming sea turtles. Everything was explained in English.

船に乗り込んだときに案内される席は、
最初の説明を受けるだけの席なので
海が見えない席でも安心してください。
説明終了後に自由にデッキに出られます。
風が冷たいので羽織るものを持参されると良いと思います。
くじらのジャンプをしっかり見ることができました。
泳いでいるウミガメも見れました。
すべて英語の説明でした。

Parasailing was incredible, the set ski was kinda lame for my expectation. Still a fun time and all the workers were all cool.

It was great to see the humpback whales swimming right in front of us multiple times and to witness them spouting water. My children and my mother-in-law were also delighted.

Since it was a live event, I was worried about various risks such as weather and the possibility of not seeing the animals, but everything turned out perfectly. Additionally, making leis at the craft event, where the whole family created the same lei to take home, became a wonderful memory.

Next time, I would like to come with my own parents.

ザトウクジラの泳ぐ姿が何度も目の前で見られたり、潮を吹くのを見れ、子供も帯同した義母も喜んでもらえ、よかったです。
ナマモノなイベントだけに、天候リスク、動物が出てこないリスクなどをいろいろと心配しながらも、すべてがパーフェクトにでき、かつ民芸イベントでのレイ作りは、家族みんなで同じレイを作り、持って帰れ、良い思い出になりました。

次回は、自分の両親と来たいな、と思います。

Entire family had a wonderful experience. The crew was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Plenty of time to enjoy the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and snorkel around the coral reef. Saw sea turtles and hand fed fish at the reef. They spent time teaching people who had never snorkeled before. And they provided all sizes of equipment from kids to oversize adults. Simple lunch of cheeseburgers with all the fixings, chips, bbq beans and fruit was plenty. Price was as reasonable as any other tourist activity on the island but a lot more fun.

I attended a show with family members who were at a wedding. We enjoyed it from the VIP dinner seats. While the first-floor seats allowed us to see the show up close, we had to look up from our seats, making it seem like the second-floor general seating would provide a better overall view of the stage. It was an American-style impersonation show, and not only was the quality impressive, but the structure of the show and the performers' likenesses were also quite moving. Many stars, from Elvis to Michael, made appearances. Additionally, the fire dance and hula dance were very captivating.

結婚式に参加の親族でショーを見学。
ＶＩＰディナー席で観賞しました。
１階席で目の前でショーを見れますが、席からは見上げる形になり
舞台全体を見るなら、２階の一般席の方が見やすそうでした。
アメリカ版モノマネショーでしたが、出来栄えもさることながら
ショーの構成も演者さんのそっくり度も、かなりの感動ものでした。
エルビスからマイコーまで多くのスター？が登場します。
また、ファイアーダンスやフラダンスも、とても見応えはありました。
