All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

My Girlfriend and I went to Hawaii for our vacation and we really wanted to go zip lining. This was definitely one of the highlights to our vacation. It started out with a bus ride to the location of where we were going to zip line. The bus ride there was really great, we drove past some film locations from tv shows and movies. The actually zip lining was even better. The instructors were great and it was very. Watch out for the bug bites though.

Our honeymoon was made complete with this adventure! If you dont do anything else on this island aside from enjoying the beautiful beaches, go ziplining with Keana Farms. The staff is awesome, professional and SAFE! An unforgettable experience! Thank you Keana Farms staff!

I participated with four friends from my hula class. Before the hula lesson, we received information about the plants that were planted and explanations of the exhibits in the building (which were very educational), and then we had our beloved Noelani's lesson... Amazingly, it was just the four of us experiencing it!!! We even had time to practice writing the hula and I made sure to remember it well for my return home.

However, it's unfortunate that the shuttle service from Honolulu to the Bishop Museum, which was included in the past two visits, was no longer available this time. I was considering taking The Bus, but since the start time is in the morning, I thought there would be many students commuting. So, I took a taxi there (which took about 20 minutes) and returned by The Bus. On the way back, there were many students on board, and I had to stand for about an hour. Since our time was limited, that hour of travel was precious, so I hope they will reinstate the shuttle service.

フラ教室の仲間4人と参加しました。フラレッスン前に植えられている植物のお話や館内での展示物の説明（とっても勉強になりました。）を受け、大好きなノエラニのレッスンに…。なんと私たち4人だけで体験することに!!!振りを書く時間もあり、しっかり覚えて帰国しました。

ただ、残念なのが過去2回はホノルルからビショップミュージアムの送迎付だったのに今回からなくなっていました。ザ・バスの移動と考えてましたが、開始時間が朝なので時間帯から学校へ通う学生がたくさん乗るだろうと、行きはタクシー（所要時間20分）帰りはザ・バスで移動。帰りも学生がたくさん乗ってて1時間ぐらい立ちっぱなしでした。滞在時間が限られているので、1時間の移動は貴重なので送迎付を復活してほしいです。

The description of "heavenly sea" is not an exaggeration! It was truly a mysterious sea. We played beach volleyball and enjoyed freshly grilled burgers on the boat. I was impressed that all the women were both steering the boat and giving instructions. I was also very satisfied to see sea turtles! I want to go again!

天国の海という形容は言い過ぎではありません！ほんとうに不思議な海でした。ビーチバレーをしたり、船でやきたてのバーガーを食べたり。みんな女の人たちが船の操縦もインストラクトも行っていてすごいなあと思いました。ウミガメもばっちり見られて満足でした！また行きたい！

The instructor only spoke English, but since the parasailing setup is simple, advanced English wasn't really necessary. Q. Where should I hold? → "Grip the band and don't touch the hook." Q. How should I sit? → "Sit deep. No 'Carmen Electra' position!" They taught us things like that!! It was easy!! The view of Diamond Head and the hotels from the ocean in Waikiki was breathtaking. It was a wonderful experience. There were also people flying with a video camera attached to a selfie stick. It seems there is a band for securing it.

インストラクターの兄さんは英語のみしかはなせませんでしたが、パラセイルの作りが簡単なのかあまり高度な英語は必要ありませんでした。Q．手はどこを持つのか？→「バンドを握って、フックは触らないでね」Q．座り方はどうするのか？→「ふかく腰掛けてね。コマネチ状態はだめ〜」など、教えてくれました！！カンタンでした！！ワイキキの海から見下ろすダイヤモンドヘッドやホテルたちは圧巻。とても良い経験でした。ビデオカメラをセルフィー棒につけて飛んでいた人もいました。固定用のバンドがあるみたいです。

I had a great time. The shuttle service made me feel secure. I appreciated being able to choose the height. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera or smartphone.

とても楽しかったです。送迎つきなので安心です。高さを選べるのもありがたいです。防水のカメラかスマホを持っていくのをおすすめします。

Since it was my first time, I chose the lowest option at 45 meters, but I was very satisfied. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but it wasn't a problem!

初めてだったということもあり、一番低い４５メートルにしましたが十分満足できました。日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったんですが、問題なかったです！

When selecting a tour, please first check the tide levels. You can find the tide chart for Honolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) at this site: http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html. Choose a time when the tide is low (either morning or afternoon). On the day of participation, the tide was 0.5ft according to this site, and the actual sea level was about 30cm.

Initially, I wanted to join a tour from a different company, but it was already fully booked. However, in the end, it turned out to be the right choice for me.

Comparing the two tours, the one I participated in had a slightly later meeting time, allowing for a more relaxed morning (perhaps less time spent picking up from hotels?), and it included about an hour of snorkeling, which was set for approximately 30 minutes longer. Overall, the time allocation was quite leisurely. If you have time and are interested in snorkeling, I recommend this one.

The sandbar was indeed impressive, but perhaps due to having seen many beautiful photos in advance and the overcast weather with strong winds, it was a feeling I had anticipated. On the other hand, the snorkeling experience exceeded my expectations. I was initially hesitant and observed from the boat, but seeing how much fun the other participants were having, I decided to take the plunge and enter the water.

I had participated in hotel-sponsored snorkeling in Okinawa a couple of times, but compared to that, the scale was different. The corals and tropical fish were dynamic! Since we wore life jackets, I didn't feel much fear. I encourage those who are not confident in swimming to give it a try. A wonderful world awaits. Initially, I thought the snorkeling time would feel long, but it passed in no time. So, this tour was indeed the right choice for me.

The voucher included a note about necessary items to bring, such as a camera, towel, and a sense of adventure. It was a perfectly accurate comment. Thank you, VELTRA.

Finally, at the end of the tour, remember to tip before disembarking. It's an American-style system, so don't forget to provide an appropriate tip.

ツアーを選択する時は先ず、潮位を確認してください。このサイトですHonolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) Tide Chart　http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html）。
潮位が低い時間帯（午前or午後）を選んでください。参加当日のこのサイトによる潮位は0.5ftで、実際の海面は30cm程度でした。
当初は、異なる会社の方のツアーを希望しましたが既に予約終了。然しながら、結果的には当方の場合、正解でした。
２つのツアーを比較すると、参加したツアーは集合時間が少し遅く朝がゆっくり（ホテルを廻る時間が短い？）、シュノーケリングの時間が約１時間あり、３０分程度長めに設定されています。総じて、ゆったりとした時間配分です。時間があり、シュノーケリングに興味がある方にはこちらがお薦め。
サンドバーは、事前に沢山の綺麗な写真を見ていたせいか、天気が曇りがちで風が強かったせいか、確かに感動的でしたが、想定内の感動でした。
一方、シュノーケリングは想像以上の感動でした。泳ぎに自信がなく、当初は、ボートで見学していましたが、参加者が余りに楽しそうなので思い切って海に入ってみました。
沖縄で２回ほどホテル主催のシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、それと比べるとスケール感が違いました。珊瑚も熱帯魚もダイナミック！！
ライフジャケット着用なので、怖さはあまり感じません。泳ぎに自信がない方も是非チャレンジしてください。素晴らしい世界が広がっています。当初、シュノーケリングの時間が長いと思っていましたが、あっという間に。ということで、こちらのツアーの方が当方には正解でした。
バウチャーの案内文に、参加時に必要な持参品として、カメラ、タオル、冒険心・・とありました。正に、的を射たコメントでした。VELTRAさんに感謝です。
最後に、ツアーの最後にチップを入れて下船します。アメリカ式システムなので相応のチップを忘れずに。

I unexpectedly booked parasailing after my brother told me before departure, "You absolutely have to do it!!" The result was truly amazing!!! The first moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but once I was flying, I strangely felt no fear and was just intoxicated by the breathtaking views. In the end, as is customary, I was dropped into the sea and landed on the boat completely soaked.

I highly recommend taking advantage of the $30 photo service! You can receive dozens of photos on an SD card.

By the way, the boat goes quite fast and has some bumps, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's better to buy some motion sickness pills at ABC Store and take them. (I usually don't get car sick, but I was quite affected this time.)

当初予定になかったパラセーリング、出発前に兄に「絶対やった方がいい！！」と言われて急遽予約を入れました。
結果は本当に最高でした！！！　飛び立つ最初の一瞬だけは怖かったけど、飛んでみると不思議に怖さはなく只々絶景に酔いしれていました。
最後はお約束？で海に落とされ全身ずぶ濡れになった後船に着地。
30ドルで写真撮影のサービスも絶対利用した方がいいです！
数十枚のデータをSDカードでもらえます

ちなみにボートは結構なスピードでしかも揺れがあるので乗り物酔いする人は
ABCストアで酔い止めを買って飲んだほうが良いです。（普段車で酔ったりしないですがこの時は結構やられました）

My girlfriend Constance and I were highly recommended to do this tour prior to our trip to Hawaii and we were not disappointed. This tour will now be top of our list of recommendations to other friends and family as it is as breathtaking and exhilarating as expected. The sights seen on this tour is truly unbelievable and needs to be seen to be believed. As a couple, we were slightly hesitant as we are more the adventurous type, however this tour still gave us a great look into history of the island which was some amazing stuff. It was very informative and interesting and really gave us Australians a little glimpse of what the U.S had endured back in the day. If and when my girlfriend and I return to Hawaii (I'm sure we will soon) we will most likely do this tour again, as the views and sights cannot be compared to anything else. We are so glad we went ahead with this booking and tour because the tour guide and transportation to and from were great also to make for a perfect day.

In late December, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkeling, and since my 7-year-old son was with me, I felt like I might have been a bit of a hassle for the instructor, but thanks to them, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. That day, I was suffering from severe jet lag and was incredibly sleepy, so in the end, I didn't join the tour and played in the sand with my child on the beach. I think it's better to go after you've adjusted to the time difference, as it requires quite a bit of physical energy. On the way back on the trolley, I spoke with the person sitting next to me, and they mentioned that around December, if the weather is good, it's not too hot, making it perfect for snorkeling. However, the instructor said that during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, and just last week, they were shivering while getting into the water. We were fortunate to have good weather.

12月下旬、ハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。シュノーケルも初めてで、7歳の息子も一緒だったため、インストラクターの方には迷惑をお掛けしたかと思いますが、おかげでシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。その日は、時差ボケがひどく、眠くてしょうがなかったため、最後はツアーには行かず、浜で子供と砂遊びをしていました。かなり体力を使うので、到着して時差にも慣れた頃に行ったほうがいいと思います。帰りのトローリーで、となりに座った方と話しましたが、12月ごろは天気が良ければ、暑すぎないのでシュノーケル日和だとのことでした。ただ、その時期は天候に恵まれないこともあって、先週は震えながら水に入っていましたよとインストラクターの方はおしゃってました。天候に恵まれて、良かったです。

The tour was really great. However, it seems that the couple on their honeymoon who didn't request additional photo sessions had a significantly shorter time in the air, so that seems to be important.

ツアーはすごく良かったです。
しかし、追加の写真撮影を頼まなかったハネムーンの夫婦の滞空時間が圧倒的に短かかったので、その辺は大事みたいです〜

It was my first time riding a buggy, and I was really nervous. The instructor must have noticed that I seemed a bit unsure, as they placed me right behind them! There was an accelerator on the right handle that I had to adjust with my thumb, but I couldn't do it at first... I was quite scared (laughs).

However, once I got used to it, it felt amazing! I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't go over 20 kilometers. Still, it's a tour that I think everyone should experience at least once!

バギーに乗ることが初めてでドキドキでした。
私がダメそうなのを見抜いたのか、インストラクターの人は、私を真後ろにつけました！
右ハンドルにアクセルがあり、親指で微調整するのですが、初めは出来ず…ビビっていました(笑)

けど、慣れてきたら気持ちよくてたまりませんでした！もっと飛ばしたい気持ちにもなりましたが、20キロ以上は上がりません…
でも、１度は体験して欲しいツアーです！

I experienced the 110m before, and this time I went for the 150m, and I absolutely recommend the 150m! You can go higher and enjoy it for a longer time! Also, you can land without getting wet at all, but I found it more fun to get splashed!

前に110mを体験し、今回150mにしたのですが
絶対150mがオススメです！
高く上がれるし時間も長く楽しめます！
あと、全く濡れずにランディングもできますが
水浴びた方が楽しかったです！

I participated at 90 meters. It was very moving, and the sea was beautiful. Next time, I might want to go higher. I was told that for $30, I could get photos taken, but since all the participants were Japanese, we passed around a digital camera and took turns! However, there were five groups, so we had to wait about an hour, and most of the groups got seasick. I struggled too—I'd recommend taking medication even for those who usually don't get seasick.

90メートルで参加しました。とても感動で、海が綺麗でした。次はもっと高くてもいいかなー。30ドル払えば写真とってもらえると言われましたが、参加者が全員日本人だったのでデジカメを渡し、取り合いっこしました！ただ5組いたので、1時間くらい待ち時間があり、ほとんどの組が船酔いしてました/ _ ;私も辛かった〜普段酔わない方も薬飲むのをオススメします。

The sandbar had water levels up to my waist, but I had fun participating in beach volleyball, even though I wasn't very good at it. It was an amazing experience to encounter a sea turtle while snorkeling.

サンドバーは腰あたりまで水位がありましたが、ビーチバレーも下手ながら楽しく参加させていただきました。シュノーケリングでウミガメに出会えたのは感動でした。

It was a bit cold for the season, but I was able to see sea turtles and the ocean was incredibly beautiful! The crew members were all kind and friendly, and it was reassuring to have Japanese staff. They took wonderful photos at the sandbar! Thanks to my practice, I was able to snorkel well and see many beautiful fish! Thank you very much!

時期的に少し寒かったですが、海ガメも見れたし海は凄く綺麗でした！乗務員の方も皆優しく気さくで、日本人なのが安心でした。サンドバーでも素敵な写真を撮ってくれました！シュノーケルも練習のお陰で上手に出来て綺麗な魚を沢山見れました！本当にありがとうございました！

Well, there was water and there was a ski, so I guess technically it was waterskiing. The company was professional, the driver was nice and the equipment worked with one exception. But, I usually go waterskiing on calm water, in a straight line, at a certain speed. The boat had no speedometer or speed controller, and we could only go around in a continuous circle, which, in my opinion makes the ride basically unskiable. I figured there would be some wind, and I can't hold it against the company that there were, I should have known, wakeboarders and tubers everywhere. Watetski magazine listed it as one of 10 best places to grab a quick set, but they should have listed it as simply a place to get a quick set.

The Pearl Harbor tour was one of the best tours we did during our vacation in Oahu. Our driver Larry was very informative during the tour. We got a little taste of the history of Oahu. Larry made our tour very interesting and entertaining. He gave us lots of stories bout the history of Hawaii that previous to taking the tour we were not aware of. The city of Honolulu had numerous historical places to visit. Once we arrived to Pearl Harbor, we were very excited. Larry spoke about the historical importance Pearl Harbor had in American history. The movie that was played before the boat ride to the memorial was very well made. It was very interesting and educational. The fact that it had actual video footage from the attack of Pearl Harbor made it very real and emotional. Furthermore,the tour to the SS Arizona memorial was amazing. It's definitely something I would recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. Being on the memorial and seeing the names of all the people who lost their lives on the SS Arizona was very moving. The tour is very well organized that it's interesting for the whole family.

Friendly stafff.... everything was perfect.... no regrets

I participated in a tour with a barbecue lunch on June 22. Thanks to checking the tide schedule, the water level was about 20 cm, which was beautiful. The tour included activities like walking on the sandbar, a sea turtle watching cruise, and snorkeling at the coral reef, all of which were fulfilling, and the barbecue burger for lunch was delicious! It was unfortunate that we were caught in the rain for a bit, but the staff worked hard to keep the tour lively, which left a good impression. I'm glad I participated in this tour!

6月22日のバーベキューランチ付きのツアーに参加しました。
潮の満ち引きを調べて行ったおかげで、水面が20cmぐらいでキレイした。
サンドバーでの散歩やウミガメウォッチングクルーズ、珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリング等内容も充実し、ランチのバーベキューバーガーも美味しかったです！
途中で生憎の雨に降られたのが残念でしたが、スタッフの方々がツアーを盛り上げようと、色々一生懸命やってくれたので好印象でした。
このツアーに参加して良かったです！

When I went for the first time two years ago, the impersonator of Steven Tyler was so impressive that this time, my expectations were higher, resulting in an average rating.

二年前に初めて行った時の、スティーヴン・タイラーの物まねの人の
完成度が高すぎて、期待した分、今回は平均的な評価になりました。

Wish we had done the 60 min tour and had the doors off. I was being a chicken when I booked it but once we got off the ground, I was comfortable! The view is amazing and the kids had a blast. The front seats have the best views if you keep the doors on :)

This was my first time participating in such a tour, so I was a bit anxious, but I had a great time with the cheerful and fun guides. I was very satisfied with the sandbar, snorkeling, and turtle watching. Depending on the season, it can get cold on the boat, so I recommend bringing a towel or something similar.

このようなツアー参加は初めてだったので、少し不安でしたが、陽気で楽しいガイドの方々と楽しい時を過ごせました。
サンドバー、シュノーケル、タートルウォッチング全てにおいて大満足です。
時期によっては、船上が寒くなるので、タオル等持参をオススメします。

I was relieved that there was a shuttle from Waikiki, but no matter how long I waited, the trolley just wouldn't come (I waited for nearly 20 minutes)... In a panic, I thought I had to contact them in English, so I asked the hotel concierge to call for me. They said, "We are at the bus stop, but we can't see you, so we left." Apparently, they came to pick me up while I was away from the bus stop.

I was half resigned to the fact that I might not be able to participate, but they kindly sent a car to pick me up and changed me to the next departure. I am truly grateful for their kindness.

My friend has a fear of heights, but I somewhat forcefully made a reservation for this tour. When we went out to sea on the boat, put on the parachute, and took off from the boat, I was quite nervous at that moment. We climbed higher and higher. I couldn't stop trembling as I looked down, but I was surprised to see my friend, who is supposed to be afraid of heights, having so much fun and being so excited. After a while, I calmed down and was moved by the beauty of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sky.

It was very quiet up there without any wind, and it felt like I had become a bird. The blue horizon and sky were amazing! Although it cost a bit extra, I was glad I requested photo shooting. They quickly burned it onto a DVD and recorded videos, so I had a surprise enjoyment when I returned to Japan. They even captured the moment my feet touched the sea perfectly.

It's a pity I couldn't bring a waterproof camera up there. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this company's tour. It was the best time, feeling like I had become a bird.

ワイキキから送迎があるので安心していたのですが、待てど暮せどトロリーが一向に来ない(２０分近く待ちました)・・・焦った挙句電話しても英語とにかく連絡をしなくてはと思いホテルのコンシェルジュにお願いして電話してもらったら「今バス停にいますが姿が見えないので発射しました」とのことバス停を離れてる間に迎えに来たらしいのです。
もう参加できないのかと半ばあきらめていたのですが、車で迎えに来ていただき、次の便に変更していただきました。
ほんとに親切にしていただきありがたいかぎりです。
私の友人は高所恐怖症なのですが、半ば強引にこのツアーを予約しました。
ボートで沖まで出てパラシュートを装着しボートからテイクオフする瞬間結構ドキドキしていました。
ぐんぐん上って行きます。私は足元を見てしまい震えが止まりませんでしたが、高所恐怖症のはずの友人がとても楽しそうにはしゃいでいるのにびっくり・・しばらくすると私も気持ちが落ち着き、空からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの美しさに感動しました。
風もなく上空はとても静かでまるで鳥になったかのようでした。
青く広がる水平線と空が最高！
少し料金はかかりますが写真撮影はお願いしてよかったです。ＤＶＤにすぐ焼いてもらって動画もとってくれていたので日本に帰ってからサプライズな楽しみがありました。
足が海につかる瞬間もばっちり撮れてました。
防水のカメラがあれば上空にもって行けたのに残念でした。
また、ハワイに行ったら是非この会社のツアーに参加したいです。
鳥になった気分を味わえて最高な時間でした。

My husband and I did this together, and it was a lot of fun. It wasn't as scary as we were expecting but the views were still breathe taking. The Hawaiian Parasail crew really knows how to make the experience and the photos we purchased from them were lots of fun. We definitely recommend them.

We got the 300 foot package for our 8 year old daughter, and the 1000 foot for ourselves, on our Hawaiian vacation and she's still talking about it a month later. Hawaiian Parasail really knows how to make the experience plus the photos we purchased were lots of fun. Definitely recommend them.

This time, my friend and I participated in this tour. As soon as we arrived at the location, we had free time, so we were able to put our bags in a locker and head straight to the attractions. Perhaps because it was a weekday, it was quite empty, and I think we were able to conquer all the attractions. There were sliders and visually impressive rides that are not commonly seen in Japan, and even as adults, we had a lot of fun. Although there are many beautiful beaches in Hawaii, I hesitated to choose the pool, but I think it was great because we were able to experience a lot of excitement that we couldn't get from the ocean. If I had to mention a complaint, it would be that the shuttle bus was late. Since it was a shared bus, I understand it can't be helped, but if they had noted in the tour details that there was a possibility of a 2-30 minute delay, it might have alleviated some anxiety while waiting. Although I felt the tour was a bit short considering how much fun we had, I think we had a very enjoyable and satisfying time at the pool.

今回、友人と二人でこちらのツアーに参加させてもらいました。現地到着後すぐにフリータイムでしたのでロッカーに荷物をいれてすぐにアトラクションへ行くことができました。平日だったからかかなり空いており全てのアトラクションを制覇できたかとおもいます。日本ではあまり見かけないスライダーや見た目が大迫力なものもあり、大の大人の私たちでもかなりはしゃぐことができました。ハワイにきれいなビーチがたくさんあるのでプールを選択することに躊躇しましたが、こちらのプールでは海では味わえない興奮をたくさん味わうことができたのでとてもよかったと思っています。強いて不満をゆうならば、お迎えのバスが遅れていたことでしょうか。。混載バスだったので仕方がないかと思うのですが、ツアー詳細に2.30分遅れる可能性がある事を記載してもらえれば待っている間の不安も無かったのかな。。と思います。楽しく過ごせた分ツアーの時間的には少し短いと感じましたが、プール自体とても楽しく大満足な時間を過ごせたかとおもいます

It was an awesome trip to sandbar!The staffs were friendly and the lunch was delicious.I wish I can visit again.Thank you~

I chose the highest altitude. I was able to float gently and enjoy a walk in the sky. Even though I'm not a big fan of heights, it felt nice. The boat was small, but perhaps because the time was short, I didn't get seasick. The shuttle service to and from the location was quite fast, which was a bit scary but refreshing. My Japanese was limited, but I was able to convey the important things. The boat mentioned that tips were included, so we didn't pay, but the participants from Europe and America were tipping, which left us a little confused about what to do.

１番高い高度を選びました。ふわっと浮き上がって空中散歩を楽しめました。
高いところはそんなに好きでない私でも気持ち良かったです。
船は小型でしたが時間が短いためか酔いませんでした。
行き帰りの送迎トロリーが速度ぶっ飛ばしだったので少し怖かったですが爽快でした。
日本語は片言程度でしたが大事なことは伝わりました。
チップは含まれていますと船に書いていたので、私たちは払いませんでしたが、欧米の参加者の方は払っていてどうすればいいのか少し迷いました。
