All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

I am a woman in my 30s, and this was my first solo trip to Hawaii. I really wanted to try snorkeling at least once in my life, so I decided to participate. There were 9 participants that day, and only 2 of us were solo travelers, including myself. There were 2 instructors, both of whom spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease. It seems that it's quite difficult to make reservations for Hanauma Bay these days, so it was a good decision to book through this service. They also took photos for us, which helped create wonderful memories. It took a lot of courage for a beginner like me to join alone, but I am grateful for the warm welcome! I didn't see any turtles, but I was very satisfied with the many fish I got to see.

私は30代女性で今回初めてハワイ一人旅をしました。
どうしても人生で一度シュノーケリングをしたくて参加させていただきました。
当日は9人参加で1人参加は私を含めて2名でした。
インストラクターは2名でどちらの方も日本語がペラペラで安心できました。
ハナウマ湾は今はなかなか予約が取れないみたいなのでこちらでお願いして正解でした。
写真も撮っていただいてとても良い思い出を作ることができました。
なかなか初心者一人参加は勇気が必要でしたが、受け入れていただいて感謝です！
タートルは見れませんでしたが、沢山のお魚を見れて大満足でした。

I will write concisely.

Overall, it was enjoyable, and the scenery was beautiful. Here are a few thoughts:

First, when you book as a group, even if there are five people, you will only have one buggy. The driver can be up to two people. Your clothes will get quite dirty. Since there is only a small gap between you and the person in front, you can't drive freely or quickly. The guide at Kualoa speaks English, but there were also people who could speak Japanese.

簡潔に書きます。

内容としては楽しく、景色も綺麗でよかったです。
少し思ったことを書きます

まずまとめて予約すると５人でもバギー一台になります。
操縦者は2人までです。
服がかなり汚れます。
前の人と少しだけ車間距離空けて走るので自由に走るとか早く走れるとかはないです。
クアロアのガイドは英語ですが、日本語も話せる人もいました。

I will start at 12 o'clock and get on the buggy. The first part is a flat course, so I will make sure to confirm the operating methods here. After that, there are ups and downs that are far more intense than I imagined; it's a wonder that no accidents happen. I hope everyone enjoys a safe adventure.

私は12時スタート、バギーに乗り込みます。最初は平坦コースなのでここでしっかり操作方法を確認します。その後は想像よりもはるかに激しいアップダウン、これで事故が起きないのが不思議なくらい。皆様も安全なアドベンチャーをお楽しみください。

Based on everyone's experiences, I prepared thoroughly and participated.

Regarding the time management, I had a reservation for 10 AM, so there was no waiting time at the start. After finishing, I was able to have a light snack, and after a break, it was just in time for the return bus.

At the beginning, I was able to listen to the video explanation in both English and Japanese, so I enjoyed it without any particular anxiety.

I was able to take plenty of photos along the way, and my elderly mother seemed to enjoy it as well.

Right after starting, they take photos for later purchase, so be mentally prepared. Since I was wearing a mask and goggles, when the photos were ready, my face was completely unrecognizable! (laughs)

I think it's worth participating at least once!

みなさんの体験談を参考に、
しっかりと準備をして参加しました。

時間配分につきましては
朝10時の予約枠で、スタートの待ち時間も無く、
終了後も軽く軽食を食べられて、
休憩したらちょうど帰りのバスの時間でした。

最初に英語と日本語のビデオ説明を分かれて聞けたので
特に不安も無く楽しめました。

途中に写真もしっかり取れて、
高齢の母も充分楽しめたようです。

スタートしてすぐに後で購入する用の
写真を取られますので、
気持ちの準備を。
私はマスクにゴーグルをしていたため
写真が出来上がると
顔が全くわからずでした笑

一度は参加されたら良いかと思いますよ！

I participated in late March. As the title suggests, I wasn't able to see any whales, but the cruise ship was very nice, and it was a valuable experience to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. I was offered a coupon due to not seeing any whales, but since my stay in Hawaii was short, I declined. If I had been able to see whales, it would definitely have been a five-star experience.

3月下旬に参加しました。タイトルのとおり、クジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、クルーズ船はとても良かったですし、船からワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドを見ることができたのは貴重な経験でした。クジラを見ることができなかったことで、クーポンをいただく提案も受けましたが、ハワイの滞在は短かったので、お断りしました。
もしクジラを見ることが出来たら、間違いなく☆5つです。

Excellent experience! Andrew was amazing! So much fun! He let us touch some
Marine life! So exciting! I would definitely recommend to family and friends! It was well organized and just amazing! Book the snorkeling early it's better! The location is perfect!

Me and my family LOVED this tour. For the price you pay you get A LOT of BEAUTIFUL VIEWS and excellent service from the staff. I like that the beach is keeping as a secret and is not crowded at all. Also, the activities are phenomenal

Best tour ever! Veronica went above and beyond with the tour! Very outgoing and nice! The attention throughout the visit was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back

My first parasailing experience! I forgot that I get seasick and decided to give it a try... and off I went into the sky! It was stable up there, so it wasn't scary at all, and the view was breathtaking. I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who get seasick. It was a wonderful experience.

初めてのパラセイリング！
自分が船酔いする事を忘れてトライしてしまい…
そのまま空へ！上空は安定していたので怖くはなく絶景でした。船酔いする方は酔い止め薬をおすすめ致します。良い体験をさせて頂きました。

When I arrived at the restaurant at the reserved time, I was shown to my seat. Since cars were passing right next to the outdoor seating, I asked to be moved to an indoor table. I was informed that I could change the menu for an additional fee, so I switched my pasta to porcini risotto. The balsamic sauce felt a bit too strong and sweet. The meat was cooked well, but I thought it was a bit too salty. It seemed like they were trying to turn tables within an hour, which created a somewhat unsettling atmosphere.

予約の時間に店に着くと、席に案内されました。外の席ですぐ横をを車が通るので、中の席に替えてもらいました。追加料金でメニューを変更出来るとの事で、パスタをポルチーニリゾットに変更。
少しバルサミコソースが強く甘く感じました。肉は焼き具合は良かったのですが、塩が効き過ぎと、思いました。一時間で回転させてる様で、少し落ち着けない雰囲気でした。

The friendly service and, of course, the taste were at a high level. I added $25 to the pre-reserved menu to change the pasta to risotto. Additionally, I added another $25 to have foie gras on top of the steak. The flavors from the appetizer to the dessert exceeded my expectations. If I go to Hawaii again, I would like to repeat this experience.

フレンドリーなサービスも、もちろん味もハイレベルでした。
事前に予約していたメニューに$25プラスしてパスタをリゾットに。
さらにもう＄25プラスして、ステーキの上にフォアグラを載せていただきました。前菜からデザートまで期待以上のお味でした。
またハワイへ行くことがあれば、リピートしたいと思います。

I was worried because the online reservation couldn't be completed due to an app malfunction, but the staff on-site were very kind and helpful. The staff on the boat were also Japanese, and although we were the only ones, they were considerate and we had a great time.

オンライン予約が、アプリの不具合で完結しない状態で心配していましたが、現地にいたスタッフの方が親切に対応して頂きました。
船上のスタッフの方も日本人が、私たちだけでしたが、きをつかって頂き楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The elementary school children were also very excited. It felt great to ride a buggy through the magnificent nature. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.

小学生の子供たちも大盛り上がりでした。
雄大な自然を颯爽とバギーで走れて気持ちよかったです。
次回は馬に乗ってみたいです。

After spending several days planning our schedule for our stay in Hawaii, this Dolphin & You tour was the highlight event for us!!

With the favorable exchange rate, I was hesitant about the photo option, but adding it turned out to be a great decision! Our Japanese guide AYA took wonderful photos for us! ☺︎

All the other staff members also entertained us, and we were able to see a pod of dolphins, which made us extremely satisfied!!!!

何日もかけてハワイ滞在のスケジュールを決め、
このドルフィン&ユーのツアーは私たちの中で最も目玉イベントでした！！

円安のタイミングもあり、写真オプションを迷ったのですが、オプションを付けて大正解！
日本語ガイドAYAがとっても素敵に写真を撮ってくれました！☺︎

他のスタッフの皆さんも、それぞれが私たちを楽しませてくれて、イルカの群を見ることもできて、大満足！！！！

This time, my wife and I experienced horseback riding for the first time. We considered North Shore, but since my wife had her heart set on it, we decided to go horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch.

I thought two hours would be long, but it went by in no time. The horse I rode, Honu, was very intuitive and moved or stopped on its own without me having to do much at all (laughs). It was my first time riding, but I was able to enjoy it without any particular difficulties.

For our belongings, we could either use a paid locker for $5 or, if we had a small amount, we could borrow a bag for horseback riding to put our things in. It's important to note that you need to arrive and check in 45 minutes before the tour starts.

Also, video recording is generally prohibited for safety reasons, but taking photos seems to be fine. Although it was in English, they provided explanations about various landmarks along the way, as well as the history of Hawaii and Kualoa. Both my wife and I had a wonderful time.

今回は妻と初めての乗馬で、ノースショアと迷いましたが、妻の希望もありクアロアランチでの乗馬を体験しました。
2時間は長いかと思いましたが、あっという間でした。
私を乗せてくれたホヌ（馬）はとっても空気の読めるお馬さんで、特に何もしなくても止まったり動いたりしてくれて全自動でした（笑）
初めての乗馬でしたが特に困ることもなく楽しむことができました。

荷物は基本的に5ドルの有料ロッカーに預けるか、少量であれば乗馬用のバッグを貸していただけるのでそれに入れることができます。
ツアー開始45分前に到着してチェックインしないといけない点には注意が必要です。

また、基本的にビデオ撮影は危険なため禁止ですが、写真は問題ないみたいです。
英語ですが、道中各名所の説明やハワイ、クアロアの歴史などを説明してくれます。
妻も私も非常に楽しむことができました。

It was an early morning pickup, but the van was full. The entrance fee for Hanauma Bay is collected in cash inside the car, so it's a good idea to bring exact change. The driver will say various things in English, but as long as you can understand what time you need to be back at the car, you can just let the rest go. At Hanauma Bay, there is a place on the beach where you can rent fins and other equipment, and you can also rent lockers there. However, it's not a self-service system; you have to give your items to the staff, and when you want to retrieve them, you hand over the key.

早朝ピックアップでしたが、バンは満席でした。ハナウマ湾の入場料は車の中で現金で集められるため、お釣りがないように持って行くといいです。ドライバーが英語で色々言いますが、とにかく何時までに車に戻っていればいいか、聞き取れればあとは適当に流しておけば大丈夫です。ハナウマ湾には、ビーチにフィンなどレンタル品を借りる場所があり、そこでロッカーも借りれますが、自分で出し入れする式ではなく、物をスタッフに預けて取り出したい時に鍵を渡す式です。

We participated with our family of four, including two children in first and second grade! We thought we would have to go far to see wild dolphins, but we encountered them right along the coast as soon as we left the harbor. I was worried about seasickness and took some Travelmin beforehand, but there were no waves, so it wasn't necessary after all. I guess it depends on the weather.

Since our two children are naturally a bit timid, they quickly gave up on snorkeling as expected, but they had plenty of fun with the waterslide, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding! Our guide, Aya, and the photographer (I forgot their name) were very friendly and easy to interact with, and I'm glad we asked them for photos.

小学1年2年の子供2人、家族4人で参加してきました！
野生のイルカは遠くまで探しにいくと思ったら、ハーバーを出てすぐの沿岸で出会うことができました。船酔いを心配してあらかじめトラベルミンを飲みましたが、波のうねりなども無く、飲む必要はなかったです。天気にもよるのでしょうが。
子供2人は元々怖がりのため予想通りシュノーケルはすぐ諦めざるをえませんでしたが、ウォータースライダー、カヤック、SUPなどで十分楽しんでくれました！
ガイドのAyaさんやカメラマンの方（名前忘れちゃいました）はとってもフレンドリーで接しやすく、写真もお願いして良かったです。

After seeing off my parents and beloved dog, I returned to Hawaii for the first time in 10 years. I wanted to participate in this tour to enjoy snorkeling, which my active father loved. The crew mentioned, "You all are very lucky because the weather wasn't good until yesterday!" and we were indeed able to see the beautifully clear blue beach, which was amazing!

We found a net in the water and started playing volleyball with a friend, and soon Americans joined us. They cheered us on with "NICE!" when we did well and "Nice try!" when we made mistakes, allowing us to share a fun time together.

As a side note... it was fascinating how, just a few minutes after meeting each other without knowing names, we could all chase the same ball and celebrate together as a team, regardless of age or nationality. It made me wonder why wars happen.

After playing in the beautiful sea, the captain grilled delicious hamburgers for us! Thank you for the treat. A cute Japanese crew member (sorry, I forgot her name) provided very polite explanations, which made it easy to enjoy the experience. Thank you! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

両親と愛犬を見送り、10年ぶりのハワイ。
アクティブな父が大好きだったシュノーケリングをぜひ・・・と思い、このツアーに参加しました。
「前日までお天気が良くなかったから、みなさんはとてもラッキーですよ！」とクルーの方がおっしゃっていましたが、本当に透き通るような青くきれいなビーチを見ることができ、最高でした！
海水の中に張られたネットを見つけ、友人とふたりでバレーボールを始めたら、すぐにアメリカ人の人たちが参加。
うまくいったらNICE！　ミスをしたらNice try !　と声をかけてくれ、楽しい時間を共有できました。
余談ですが・・・
初めて会う、お互い名前も知らない人同士が、たった数分後にはひとつのボールを追いかけて年齢や国籍に関係なくチームとして共に喜び、称えあう・・・こんなことができるのに、なぜ戦争は起こるのだろう・・・と思ってしまいました。

美しい海でさんざん遊んだ後は、キャプテンが美味しいハンバーガーを焼いてくれました！ごちそうさまでした。
日本人クルーのかわいい女性（名前忘れてごめんなさい）、とても丁寧な説明で安心して楽しむことができました。ありがとう！
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

I don't think you can ride for two hours alone in Japan. I enjoyed walking various courses and had fun at both the sea and the mountains! The instructor was very kind too!

日本では1人で2時間も乗らせてくれないと思います。いろんなコースの散歩をして海も山も楽しめました！インストラクターの人もとても親切でした！

An awesome day out and we were well looked after by the all-wahine crew! They were knowledgeable and friendly and ensured the safety of all on board, will recommend to family and friends! We enjoyed the whole experience from volleyball to turtle watching and snorkelling the reef, also very safe for my 11 year old

Parasailing was amazing! My group had an awesome time. The service was great, very knowledgeable and very welcoming. Highly recommended!

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise was amazing! My group had an awesome time, food was delicious, show was amazing as well. I was hoping for an actual Luau with the fire show. The service was great, very welcoming. Highly recommended!

I initially thought it would be an ordinary show since it started with hula dancing, but I enjoyed the diverse content, including impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, fire attractions, and aerial descents reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil. The theater also had a retro feel, creating a nice atmosphere.

After the show, the dancers from the Elvis and fire attraction were waiting near the exit, and I was pleased with the hospitality as they were willing to take commemorative photos. In the U.S., where prices are high, I appreciate it when shows like this offer discounted tickets.

フラダンスから始まったので、最初は凡庸なショーかなと思っていましたが、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーや、ファイヤーアトラクションやシルクドソレイユを思わせる空中からの人の降下など、多彩な内容で楽しめました。劇場もレトロ感があり、良い雰囲気でした。
ショーが終わった後、エルビスとファイヤーアトラクションのダンサーが出口付近に待機しており、記念写真の撮影に応じてくれるなど、おもてなし感にも満足しました。米国は物価が高く、今回のショーのように、値引き販売してくれると、うれしいです。

Boarding Day: Friday
Boarding Course: 5 Star

If you're going to board, it's best to do so on a Friday when the Hilton fireworks are held. The fireworks themselves last about 5 minutes, but the combination of the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks from the sea is breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the sunset was not very impressive due to the clouds. I guess that's just luck...
However, the dinner was extremely delicious.
Also, the live performance was great.
I had previously boarded a 3 Star cruise, but I think I will only choose 5 Star in the future.
While it is more expensive compared to 3 Star, you should definitely go for 5 Star.

乗船曜日:金曜
乗船コース:5スター

乗船するなら、ヒルトンの花火が行われる金曜です。花火自体は5分程度ですが、海上からワイキキの夜景と花火のコラボは絶景です。
サンセットは雲があり、感動する感じではなかったのが残念でした。こればかりは運かと…。
でも、ディナーが非常に美味しかったです。
また、生演奏がよかった。
以前に3スターに乗船したことありましたが、今後は5スターしか選ばないと思います。
3スターに比べれば値は張りますが、5スターにすべきです。

I participated with my husband, who has a fear of heights. It wasn't scary at all, and we had a great time! We arrived right on time for the meeting, but as soon as we got there, we hurried to sign in and boarded the boat. It seems we took the previous ferry. We were the only Japanese people, making a total of 10 participants. We were able to place our luggage at our feet. I brought a bath towel, but in the end, I didn't use it. We got off the bus at the Hilton and walked to the meeting point, but we got a bit lost on the way, so I think it's better to allow some extra time.

高所恐怖症の主人と参加。全く怖くなく楽しめました！集合時間ピッタリに着きましたが、着いた早々急いでサインして、船に乗りました。恐らくひとつ前の便に乗ったようです。日本人は私たちだけで合計10人でした。荷物も足元に置けました。バスタオルを持っていきましたが、結果使わなかったです。ヒルトンでバスを降りて集合場所まで行きましたが、辿り着くまでの道が少し迷いましたので、ゆとりをもって行った方がよいと思います。

First time on Captain Bob’s we will definitely come back again!! Great crew, the scenery and water was beautiful we had so much fun!!

The attractions were great. I was glad to have reserved a cabana, but I couldn't place food orders from my phone using the QR code. The cabana was a bit pricey, but it was worth it.

アトラクションは良かった。
カバナを予約して良かったが、フードのオーダーはQRコードで行うのに携帯からオーダー出来なかった。カバナは少し高いがあって良かった。

ちょっと飛んでる時間ぎ短すぎです。準備が整っていないのに流れ作業のように飛べと急がせてくるし、満足度は低い。そのくせ写真を買わせようとしてくるのが不快でした。

The activities and guidance at Kualoa were very good. It was especially helpful that the instructions were provided in both Japanese and English.

I was informed that I needed to bring an ID, and while my Japanese driver's license was accepted, they requested a passport.

Additionally, the waiting time on-site was quite long, and it would have been better to go on my own using The Bus.

クアロアでのアクティビティ、案内はとても良かったです。特に日本語と英語での案内なので助かります。
身分証明書を持参とのことでしたが、日本での運転免許証はokとのことでしたが、パスポートを求められます。
また、現地での待ち時間がとても長く、ザ・バスを使って自力でいくほうがよかったです♪

Since there were no reviews on this site, I looked up other sites (which also had mostly English posts), and I really wanted to try Sunset SUP and paddle in both the river and the ocean, so I decided to join this tour.
In conclusion, it was definitely the right choice to participate!
At the beginning of September, the sunset is around 18:30 to 19:00, so we started at 16:30. We departed from the ocean and entered the connected river. Just before we started, it rained for a moment, and while paddling, we were able to see a rainbow.
We were the only ones doing SUP, and paddling through the quiet and calm river surrounded by trees was a blissful experience. We even encountered a sea turtle. After paddling a long distance down the river and turning back to return to the ocean, the sun was beginning to set, and we leisurely watched the sunset there. Although we finished SUP before it got dark, we returned to the beach and watched the sunset before leaving the North Shore.
The guide couldn't speak Japanese, so we communicated in English, and despite my limited English skills, I managed to communicate and had a great time. Also, since I was worried about whether there would be Uber or buses, I included it in a private tour. I highly recommend participating!

当サイトにクチコミがなかったので他サイトでも調べ(そこでも英語の書き込みばかりでしたが)、どうしてもサンセットサップがやりたかったのと、川だけでなく海も漕ぎたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加することにしました。
結論、参加して大正解でした！
9月頭だと日没が18:30~19:00頃なので16:30にスタート。海を出発し、繋がっている川に入っていきます。直前に一瞬雨が降ったこともあり、漕ぎながら虹を見ることができました。
SUPをしている人は私たちしかおらず静かで穏やかな川を漕ぐのですが、木々に囲まれた川をゆったりと進むのは至福の時でした。ウミガメにも遭遇できました。長い距離川を漕ぎ、折り返してまた海に戻ってくると日が沈みかけており、そこで日没をゆったりと眺めました。暗くなる前にSUPは終了しましたが、ビーチに戻って日が暮れるのを見てノースショアを後にしました。
ガイドさんは日本語が話せず英語での会話をしましたが拙い英語力でもなんとかコミュニケーションをとって楽しい一時を過ごせました。また、今回はUberやバスがあるか不安だったので個人ツアーの中に組み込みました。是非参加することをお勧めします！
