All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

This was my second time snorkeling, and even though I'm not good at swimming, I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to Dan and Chieko, who paid careful attention to everyone. They also lent us rescue vests, which made it easy to float while swimming, so I highly recommend this tour for those who aren't very confident in their swimming skills. Additionally, I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. I think it would have been difficult to see one on my own. Dan also took photos during the tour with a high-performance camera, and he uploaded them on the same day after the tour, allowing us to download them for free. So, I recommend this tour even for those who don't have an underwater camera.

シュノーケルは２回目、水泳は苦手、という私でも、DanさんChiekoさんが皆に丁寧に目を配ってくださったこともあり、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
レスキューベストも貸してくださり楽に浮いた状態で泳げるので、水泳があまり得意でない方にはぜひこのツアーをお勧めしたいです。
また、ウミガメに遭うこともでき感激でした。
自力ではウミガメに遭うことは難しかったと思います。
また、Danさんが高性能のカメラでツアー中写真を撮ってくださっており、ツアー終了後その日のうちに写真をアップしてくれ、無料でダウンロードすることができます。
なので、水中カメラがない人にもお勧めです。

So first of all, you are up in the air for only 5-7 minutes, however the excursion is about 1-1.5 hours long. You take a few boats out to your final destination before you go up, which is from the boat.

The views from off the shore of Hawaii Kai are stunning. Waikiki views just don't company because it is all built up.

We had a great time and the staff were really awesome and entertaining too.

What a site to see, I loved every bit of this activity.

I was to scared to go but my friends and family had a great time. The staff was super friendly and understanding.

The sandbar's sea was incredibly beautiful! The water level was up to my chest due to the high tide, which was more than I had imagined, but we had fun playing with a beach ball!
I also got to see cute turtles, and there were so many fish while snorkeling—it was the best! ★
The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious too!＼(^o^)／
The staff were fun and made our time very comfortable! ♪♪

サンドバーの海、すごい綺麗でした！イメージしてたより、満ち潮の影響で胸くらいまで水位があったけど、ビーチボールもできて楽しかったです！
かわいい亀も見れたし、シュノーケルもたっくさんお魚が見れて、最高でした★
船で食べた、ハンバーガーも美味しかったです＼(^o^)／
スタッフさんも楽しい片たちで心地よく過ごせました♪♪

My friends and I had a good time here. Many different thinks to keep us occupied. Love seeing the sea turtles.

Since we took the bus, it was a bit of a long journey, but we were able to spend a very relaxing day. The hula lesson and craft experience were just for us, so it felt almost like a private lesson. The craft experience with the tea leaf lei work was fun, and the hula was taught with great care, which made me happy. The spacious grounds were pleasant, and the planetarium had interesting explanations. The guide in the museum provided thorough explanations as we toured the exhibits, allowing us to learn about Hawaiian culture.

THE BUSで出向いたので少し遠い道のりでしたが、とてもゆったりと一日過ごすことが出来ました。
フラレッスンもクラフト体験も私達だけでしたからほぼプライベートレッスン状態でした。
クラフト体験のティーリーフのレイワークも楽しかったし、フラは丁寧に教えて下さったし、嬉しかったです。
広い敷地内で気持ち良く、プラネタリウムでは興味深い説明で、博物館内も案内の方がしっかり説明して展示物を回ってくださるのでハワイの文化を知ることができました。

I participated for the first time in five years. This time, it was a one-hour horseback riding session (without transportation), and I drove from my hotel in Honolulu to the location, arriving about 30 minutes before check-in began. There were many participants, including Japanese people, on that day. The weather was decent.

Before riding, we watched a Japanese DVD for instructions and safety precautions (about 3 minutes), and then mounted the horses as instructed by the instructor. We had to wait briefly until everyone in our group was mounted before we could depart. There were about 15 people in our group.

Once the tour started, we lined up and proceeded through the mountains. Occasionally, a horse would start eating grass by the roadside, but a quick tug on the reins would bring it back in line, so there were no issues.

After a complete loop around the property, the tour ended. I think the actual time spent riding was about 30 minutes. It ended so quickly that I felt a bit nostalgic.

There are horseback riding tours available on islands other than Oahu, so I would like to participate in a different tour next time.

5年ぶりに参加しました。
今回は1時間の乗馬（送迎なし）でしたが、現地まではホノルル市内のホテルからレンタカーで移動し、受付開始の30分くらい前に到着。当日は日本人を含め、たくさんの参加者がいました。天気はまずまずでした。
馬に乗る前には日本語のDVDによる説明・注意事項を見て（約3分くらい）、インストラクターの指示通りに馬に乗ります。グループ毎に出発するので、全員が馬に乗るまで一時待機。
約15人くらいのグループでした。
ツアーが始まると、一列に並んで、山の中を進みます。たまに、馬が道端の草を食べ始めたりしますが、「こら！」と手綱を引けば、すぐに列に戻るので問題ありません。
そんなこんなで敷地内をぐるっと一周して終了です。実際に馬に乗っている時間は、全部で約30分くらいだと思います。あっという間に終わってしまったので、名残りおしかったです。
オアフ島以外でも乗馬のツアーはあるので、今度は違うツアーに参加したいと思います。

Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!

My friends and I had so much fun. The whole cruise was a great experience. The crew was super friendly. Our guide, Ryan, was great. He was very knowledgeable so we actually learned some things which was cool. Would have liked to spend a little more time on the sandbar but overall, would definitely recommend doing this!

I was moved by the beautiful sea and sky. I had been very busy shopping until then, so it was soothing and felt really nice.

The instructor was also very lively and it was fun.

綺麗な海と空に感動しました。
それまで買い物で大忙しだったので、癒されて、とても気持ち良かったです。

インストラクターさんも、ノリが良くて、楽かったです。

The water surface was quite deep due to the time of day, but it was beautiful. The BBQ hamburgers and snorkeling were delicious, and I had a great time!

時間帯の問題でかなり深い水面でしたが、綺麗でした。
BBQのハンバーガーやｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞも美味しいし、楽しかったです❗

I was really looking forward to the sandbar, but on this day it was high tide. The water was up to my waist, and the weather was cloudy, so it was disappointing. If you plan to participate, I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before signing up.

とても楽しみにしていたサンドバーですがこの日は満潮。腰のあたりまで水があり、天気も曇りだったので残念でした。参加される場合は潮の満ち引きも調べてから申し込まれると良いと思います。

The transparency of the water is different compared to other beaches. I didn't get to see any turtles, but they seem to be around often. The guide was great and took a lot of photos for us. It's a good plan since you can return to the hotel by lunchtime.

ほかのビーチにくらべると透明度が違います
カメさんには会えませんでしたが、よくいるみたいですよ
ガイドさんもよくってたくさん写真も撮ってくれます
お昼にはホテルに戻れるのでそんなプランにはいいかもです

It was a great experience! We had Greg as the driver and he was great and informative about local deals in Oahu. We were also really lucky and got the whole boat to ourselves. Usually, I hear, people sit in a group of 10-12 people.

Great day at the north beach. We chose the waterfall hike as our activity in the morning. You could have done snorkelling or bike rides if preferred. We then had free time on waimea bay beach. In the afternoon we had a free lunch instead of doing another activity such as kayaking. Saw sea turtles at a beach on the way home

First time zipping and it was awesome! I will admit, I'm a little heavy and slow. I was worried about the walk between stations , the first hike was a little uncomfortable and I was slow, but the crew we had, were so understanding and encouraged me to take my time and enjoy the view. They made it great and the views are breath taking. The crew were fantastic and fun. We bought the lunch, highly recommend, it was the best meal the all week. Highly recommend!

Great tour...Pearl Harbor is a must see when visiting Oahu!!

We gathered 10 minutes before the pickup time, and the bus had already arrived, allowing us to board smoothly. I plan to use this service again next year.

ピックアップ時間の１０分前に集合したところ、すでにバスが到着しており
スムーズにバスに乗ることができました。
また、来年も利用しようと思います。

My sister visited me so I had to take her here to show her the sandbar. She had a great experience swimming and snorkeling. Good food is a plus.

We participated as a family. I was really looking forward to it after seeing the photos, but on that day, due to high tide, the water was up to our waists, and my 85-year-old grandmother and 1-year-old child couldn't get off the boat. Even though I had asked questions in advance, it was disappointing, as it is not a cheap tour.

The Japanese female guide was friendly and funny, and it was great to see manta rays and sea turtles.

If you are considering participating, I think it's better to check the tide conditions for that day beforehand.

家族で参加しました。
写真を見て、とても楽しみにしていたのですが、この日は満潮ということで、腰のあたりまで水があり、85歳の祖母と1歳の子供は船から降りることができませんでした。
事前に質問して問い合わせていただけに、いくら自然のこととはいえ残念な気持ちになりました。決して安いツアーではありませんので。。

ガイドの日本人女性は気さくなおもしろい方でしたし、マンタやウミガメを見られたことはよかったのですが。

参加を検討される場合は、その日の潮の状況も確認してからの方が良いと思います。

We went to Hawaii again as a couple during Silver Week. This time, I wanted to include snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, so I booked this tour. To be honest, I initially applied for the tour "Hanauma Bay with a Certified Veteran Guide," which had many reviews and experiences, but it was not available, so I chose this tour instead. Unfortunately, it rained from the morning. During snorkeling, there was heavy rain and waves, and the sand was stirred up, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. Moreover, the approximately one hour of snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering after getting back on land.

However, I can't go against nature, so I hope to try again on a sunny day next time. I have snorkeled at several places in Honolulu, but when it comes to seeing fish, it can't compare to Guam, Saipan, or Southeast Asia's Cebu and Phuket.

Nonetheless, I think the tour was very good because the guide explained everything earnestly and assisted us well. Another highlight was that we unexpectedly got to see a honu (sea turtle).

シルバーウィークに夫婦でまたハワイに行ってきました。今回は念願のハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを入れたかったのでこのツアーを予約しました。正直に言いまして、最初は評価も体験談も多い、「公認ベテランガイドといくハナウマ湾」のツアーを申し込みましたがリクエストＮＧでしたので、このツアーにしました。当時は、あいにく朝から雨。シュノーケリングの時も大雨で波もあり、砂が舞い上がっており、きれいに魚は見えませんでした。しかも約1時間のシュノーケリングは寒く、陸に上がった後は寒さで震えていました。　　
でも自然には逆らえないので、今度は晴れた時に再チャレンジできたらと思います。
ホノルルでは何か所かでシュノーケリングしましたが、やはり魚を見るならば、グァム、サイパンや東南アジアのセブ島やプーケットなどには かないませんね。
でもガイドさんが一生懸命説明してアシストしてくださり、ツアーとしてはとてもよかったと思います。
また期待していなかったホヌと会えたのがよかったポイントです。

After the ceremony, we used the restaurant for a family-only meal. The atmosphere is very nice. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Personally, I would have preferred larger portions. The staff was attentive in explaining the menu, which helped us avoid making expensive additional orders. If you plan to visit, it might be better for a small group, like a date. The location of the restaurant was also good. It's close to the Hawaiian Center, so you can enjoy shopping on your way back.

挙式後、親族のみの食事で利用しました。
雰囲気はとてもいいです。料理も値段相応でおいしくいただきました。
個人的には、もっと量が多いとよかったです。
店員さんはメニューの見方等で気を聞かせてくれたので、高額の追加注文にならずに済みました。利用するのであれば、デートなど少人数がいいかもしれません。
お店の立地もよかったです。ハワイアンセンターに近いので、帰りにショッピングなども楽しめます。

The day of the Heaven's Sea tour unfortunately had cloudy skies and rain, which made it cold. It was disappointing that the water's blue color was dulled due to the clouds. However, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling in the coral reef, so I guess it was still a good experience overall.

天国の海ツアーの日だけが生憎の曇天～雨模様で
寒かったです。曇りのせいで水の青さがくすんでたのが残念でした。ただ海亀も見れたし珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルも楽しんだのでまぁいいかって感じですね。

I participated in the BBQ lunch (which is a hamburger lunch) ^^ At the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. If you want to experience shallower water, it seems that going early with breakfast included is a good option. That said, it probably depends on the weather and the season... On this day, I wasn't feeling well, so I waited on the boat, but my family seemed to be having a great time ^^ Even though I was waiting on the boat, the scenery was lovely, and the staff were cheerful and friendly. I was able to spend a fun time talking with little kids and people from abroad. The hamburger for lunch was made with meat cooked in a Dutch oven, and it was juicy and delicious ^^ I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, which were adorable. On the way back, you can change clothes on the boat, so I think it would be convenient to have a cape that you can easily put on or take off. You can also change at the restroom after getting off the boat, but since there was a line for women, it might be easier to change early. I plan to participate again next time and try getting down to the sandbar or snorkeling with the sea turtles!

BBQランチ（＝ハンバーガーランチ）付きに参加しました^^ サンドバーでは腰ほどまで水がありました。もっと浅いのを体験したければ朝食付きの早い時間方法が良いみたいですね。といっても、天候や季節によると思いますが。。私はこの日に限って体調が悪かったのでボートで待機していましたが、家族は楽しそうにしていました^^ボートで待機といっても、景色も素敵だし、スタッフさん達も明るく気さくでしたし、ちっちゃいおこちゃまや外国の方と話したり楽しい時間を過ごせました。お昼のハンバーガーもダッチオーブンで焼いてくれたお肉で、ジューシーで美味しかったです^^ウミガメも沢山見れて可愛かったです。帰り、着替えはボートの上で出来るので、すっぽりか被れるケープのようなのがあると便利かと思います。ボート降りてトイレでも着替えられますが、女性は並んでいたので早めに着替えちゃった方が楽かもです。次回も参加して今度はサンドバーに降りたり、シュノーケルでウミガメと泳いだりしようと思います！

The weather was wonderful, and the sandbar was incredibly beautiful. The staff was also very cheerful ( ^ω^ ). I even encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling!

天気にも恵まれサンドバーは最高に綺麗でした。スタッフさんも最高に陽気( ^ω^ )シュノーケリングでウミガメにも出会いました！

The helicopter ride took about 30mins which is really not enough to see Honolulu and around. The pilot was great but he only flew over certain areas once so only people at certain side could see and take pictures. I was expecting him to turn around 360 so everybody can take pictures. Great views of Waikiki, Honolulu, Diamond Head.

I waited for about 15 minutes for the pick-up. It was mentioned that there would be a "trolley with a logo to greet us," but no one came despite waiting... I kept an eye out every time a car stopped, but there was no sign of the right vehicle. After more than 15 minutes had passed, I started to feel anxious and decided to call. They told me, "It already passed." I hurriedly took a taxi to the location where the boat was departing and managed to make it in time for the tour.

When I spoke to a Japanese woman at the reception about the absence of the vehicle and the fact that we weren't called, she responded as if it was our fault, saying, "We don't call names, you know? Others have gotten on." The vehicle I saw was just an ordinary van without any logos.

Having participated in various tours before, I noticed that the pick-up staff usually have a list of participants. If it was just a regular van, at least they could have mentioned the tour name... The pick-up location in front of the Duke statue has many cars stopping, and since it also serves as a meeting point for other tours and a trolley stop, it is quite difficult to identify a non-logo vehicle as the tour vehicle without any guidance.

The guide on the boat was a local who entertained the participants well, but the fact that we made others wait and the unpleasant attitude from the Japanese woman at the reception turned what should have been a fun memory in Hawaii into a disappointing one.

Pick Up 15分ほど前から待機。
「ロゴ入りのトロリーでお迎え」とあったが、待てども待てども来ず...。車が止まるたびに気にして見ていたがそれらしき車はなく。
時間を15分以上過ぎても来ないため、さすがに不安になり電話をかけてみると「もう通った。」とのこと。
タクシーで慌てて船が出る場所まで向かい、なんとか参加には間に合いました。
受付に日本人の女性がいたためそれらしき車が通らなかったこと、特に呼ばれもしなかったことを伝えたところ「名前は呼びませんよ？他の人は乗ってきてるんですよ？」と逆に私たちのせいだと言わんばかり。
車を見るとロゴも何もないただのワゴン車でした。
今まで色々なツアーに参加してきましたが送迎の方は必ず参加者のリストを持っていたし、普通のワゴン車なのであればせめてツアー名だけでも言ってくれれば良いのに...と思います。
Pick Up場所のデューク像前は止まる車も多く、他のツアーの待ち合わせ場所やトロリー乗り場にもなっているため、案内もなしにロゴの無い車をツアーの車だと判断するのはかなり難しいです。
船に乗ったガイドさんは現地の方で参加者を楽しませてくれましたが、他の参加者を待たせてしまったこと、受付の日本人女性にすごく感じの悪い態度を取られたことで、ハワイで楽しい思い出を作るはずが残念な思い出となりました。

Our first family trip to Hawaii. I had always wanted to visit Angel's Beach. I was surprised by the number of Japanese people at the meeting point. It was a good decision to take motion sickness medication before getting on the boat to avoid feeling seasick. When we arrived at Angel's Beach, the water was about knee-deep, but it was crystal clear and very beautiful. The hamburgers afterward were delicious, and my child enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in their life.

初めての家族でのハワイ旅行。天使の海は絶対行きたいと思っていた場所でした。集合場所について日本人の多さにまずびっくり。ボートに乗って揺られる中酔わないように酔い止めを飲んでおいたのは正解でした。天使の海につくと膝の高さくらいの水でしたが、透き通っていてとてもきれいでした。そのあとのハンバーガーもおいしく、子供は人生初のシュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。

The guide picked us up at the hotel and shuttled us to the trailhead. From there its pretty easy hike up to the Manoa Falls.
