All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

What an amazing experience. WOW . Breath taking views and amazing fun informative crew. I enjoyed every single second of this experience and very grateful to have been apart. Would definitely recommend. Weather was perfect even though it rained briefly it still was amazing. Volleyball was fun and snorkeling was even better. Sen a few turtles because then dip out pretty fast lol. Lunch was great with drinks and world glass special wine if you choose lol. Also had a convenient restroom. Shuttle pick up was convenient with breathtaking views on the way there. Loved it!!!!!

I participated on the night I arrived in Hawaii. I was looking for a tour to see hula dancing, and I decided on this tour because I could also see rock music performances. At the buffet venue, I felt relieved to see that everyone around me was Japanese.

During the meal, I enjoyed watching hula dancing right next to me, creating a pleasant atmosphere. As for the buffet, I thought it was just okay, but personally, I found the roast beef to be delicious. For dessert, there were various options like fruits, ice cream, and mini cakes, but you might have to wait in line quite a bit, so it’s better to prepare early.

After the meal, we moved to the stage area, and depending on the plan, the staff guided us to our seats. I was worried I might feel sleepy due to jet lag, but the hula dancing at the beginning was captivating, and afterward, the entertainment shows featuring Elvis and Michael were all stunning. The performances were engaging enough that the time flew by, and I had a lot of fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

ハワイに到着した夜に参加しました。フラダンスを観たくてツアーを探していたらロックも観れるとの事でこのツアーに決めました。ビュッフェの会場では周りの方が日本人ばかりでホッとしました。
食事の合間にすぐそばでフラダンスの踊りを見て和やかな雰囲気でした。ビュッフェの味はこんなものかなと、私個人ではローストビーフが美味しかったです。食後のデザートはフルーツ、アイスクリーム、ミニケーキなど色々ありますが、結構並ばなければいけないので早めに用意していた方が良いかもです。
食後ステージ会場に移動、プランによりスタッフが席に案内してくれます。時差ボケで眠たくなるかなと心配してましたが、最初はフラダンスで見応えあり、その後はエルビス、マイケルのエンターテイメントショーどれも圧巻でした。飽きのこない演出で時間が短く感じるくらいに楽しかったです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいと思います。

I had the greatest time at Gunstock Ranch!
I would heartily recommend this activity.
Everyone, from the check-in, to the trail ride staff, and visiting the animals after the ride were amazing.
As a very novice rider, I was well instructed and had a great ride.

My parents (in their 50s) and my three siblings (in their 20s) signed up for the advanced course. At first, we rode the trial course as an aptitude test before the departure. The bicycles were special, with large tires, so it took us some time to get used to them. As a result, the staff decided to switch us to the beginner course, and it turned into a private tour just for our family.

All the staff spoke English, and they provided detailed explanations using translation devices. The scenery was magnificent and indescribably beautiful.

During the ride, we were caught in heavy rain, and cycling while getting covered in mud became a wonderful memory. I think it's quite rare to have such a muddy experience as an adult, so that's also a great memory!

両親(50代)、兄弟3人(20代)で上級コースに申し込みました。最初、自転車に乗ってから出発の間に適性検査としてトライアルコースを走りました。自転車が特殊で、タイヤが大きいもののため、私たちは慣れるのに時間がかかってしまいました。そのため、スタッフの判断で初級コースになり、私たち家族だけのプライベートツアーになりました。
スタッフは全て英語でしたが、翻訳機を使って細かく説明してくれました。景色が雄大で、言葉にならないほど美しかったです。
途中、大雨に見舞われて、泥だらけになりながらのサイクリングはとてもいい思い出となりました。大人になってから、あんなにも泥まみれになる経験はなかなか貴重だと思うので、それもいい思い出です！

I enjoyed a buffet featuring local Hawaiian cuisine. They also serve lovely cocktails. The quality of the food is high, and everything is delicious. If you want to get the popular desserts, you should go for them early, as there’s a bit of a scramble! The dining experience lasts about two hours, during which hula dancers and hosts keep the atmosphere lively. After that, there was a show in the theater featuring local singers and performances that recreated famous artists. The authentic dance, singing, and music blend very well together. The performance engages the audience, making it enjoyable without getting boring. There were also small children in attendance. Since they performed Disney songs, I think it can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.

ハワイの現地のご飯をビュッフェを楽しみました。ドリンクも素敵なカクテルがサービスされます。ご飯のクオリティーが高く、どれも美味しいです。デザートは早めに取りに行かないと人気なものは争奪戦です！ご飯の所要時間は２時間内ぐらいで、その間にフラダンサーの方やホストが場を盛り上げてくれます。その後のシアターでのショーでは、現地のシンガーや有名な歌手を再現したショーなどがありました。本格的なダンスと歌、演奏がとてもマッチしています。観客を巻き込んだパフォーマンスで飽きずに楽しめます。小さなお子さんも見にきていました。ディズニーの曲も披露していたので、幅広い年代で楽しめると思います。

The show only had a little hula dancing, and the meal was simple. At 25,000 yen per person, it’s way too expensive. I thought there would be a stage, but they just danced a little between the seats. From our seats, we could only see the back of the dancer. I won't come back again.

ショーが少しフラを踊ってくれる程度で食事も質素。あれで1人25,000円は高すぎる。
舞台が　あるのかと思っていたけど　客席の間で少し踊るだけ。
私達の席は踊ってる人の後ろ姿が見えるだけ
もう2度といらない。

This place made me sound like a broken record…I was lost for words and kept saying “wow”. My husband and I really enjoyed this part of our trip to Hawaii. We had so much fun! Our guides Lee and Matt were amazing at giving us the experience of a lifetime, they were professional, funny, and perfect for the adventure!
We recommend wearing a face cover and dark clothing/change of clothing because of the dirt buildup throughout the drive! They have a wash station right after the tour so no need to worry.

There was soooo much to do at the park we couldn’t even do it all. I wanted to see the birds and the sharks the most. I think the program was geared towards kids...so I let my inner child out to play. The sea lion of course was my favorite part. He was super smart and it was clear that him and the trainer had such a great relationship, almost like a little puppy eager to please. He did show more interest in the trainer than any of us, but that’s to be expected we even still got to pet him!

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

自分では、予約が難しいのでツアーに参加。ガイドさんが　英語でしたが、

Please let me know what is necessary for horseback riding in Japanese.
The scenery description was in English.
The meeting time was around 8 o'clock, but there was a lot of waiting time, and we returned to Waikiki around 5 o'clock. You might want to think of it as a full-day activity.
During the waiting time, we were able to enjoy ourselves by going to a nearby beach and looking at souvenirs.

乗馬に必要なことは日本語で伝えてくれます。
景色の説明は英語でした。
8時ごろの集合でしたが、待ち時間が多く、ワイキキに帰ったのは17時ごろでした。1日かかると思た方がいいかもしれません。
待ち時間は近くのビーチに行ったり、お土産をみたり、それなりに楽しく過ごせました。

- That was a great show! Excited about every performance. Delicious food with plenty of choices. The staff is welcoming, adorable, smiles all around, and polite to every customer.
- I love the performance! The stage acts are fantastic, and every actor performs so well. The singing is incredibly beautiful
- A place near the accommodation, convenient to travel to, and easy to find parking.
- My husband and I will definitely come back to use the service again, and we'll bring our family along next time.

I enjoyed both the buffet and the show from start to finish. There were some songs I didn't know, but the interaction with the audience during the show really made me feel like I was in a foreign country! I had a great time even by myself!

ビュッフェもショーも最初から最後まで楽しみました。知らない曲もありましたが、ショーでの観客とのやり取りとか、ああ外国に来たなぁという感じが満載でした！1人でも楽しめました！

I participated on Tuesday, and I had heard it was the most beautiful day, but the waves were high and the water was murky. There's nothing that can be done about luck, so it's unfortunate.

火曜日の参加だったので、一番きれいだと聞いていましたが、波が立っていて海中が濁ってしまいました。
こればっかりは運なので仕方ないですが残念でした。

Its our first time to travel to hawaii and attending a luau is for sure one of the things we want to try! I came across online this activity and booked it right away. We had it last night and all i can say was just WOW!!!!! LITERALLY WOW! Me and my husband did the Rock a Lua in the heart of waikiki, Just few steps aways from our hotel. We were greeted with sweet smiles of the reception and entertainers and sent to our table, The set up is good on the dining area, And come to the buffet set up it was all Gooooood!!! Also with the Roasted Pig? Omg! It was so goooooood especially the skin part! The welcome to dinner buffet and the performances in between was just really entertaining! We come to the performance time to the theater and its SPECTACULAR!!! we didnt expect that the show was like that, not the usual show but a lot of performances from singing to dancing with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Hahahahah that was the main show! Its kinda scary but at the same thing all of our jaw dropped! Its a jow dropping show and performances. The Dances were really good too, the band, the set up. Basically everything it was a lively and very entertaining show. Id do it over and over again if given a chance! THE WHOLE BUFFET AND SHOW WAS A SPOT ON!!! ITS WAS REALLY GOOD!

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

The greenery was beautiful, and no matter how much we drove the buggy, the vast ranch seemed to stretch on forever. It was breathtaking to see the ocean as well.
We drove the buggy four times, with designated spots to switch drivers, but the last leg was quite hard, so I think it would be more enjoyable to let someone who loves driving take over then.
The neck warmer we received at the beginning, which fit snugly around the neck, seemed like a participant's badge, so I followed everyone else's lead and kept it around my neck. However, at the very end, when the dust was terrible, I covered my face to shield my mouth and nose, and it turned out to be a great safety guard, making it very comfortable. I thought if I had done that from the start, I wouldn't have gotten sand on my face, but looking back, I couldn't help but laugh at our completely blackened faces. The photos we took after returning home captured some funny expressions. (Sunglasses are a must!)
I was delighted when a cute female staff member took many photos for us at the photo spot. The Moai statue was great.

緑が美しく、バギーで走れど走れど、まだまだ先は長く続く、壮大すぎる牧場でした。海も見えて感動です。
バギーは4回、下車スポットがあって交代で運転しましたが、最後の4回目がハードなのでそこは運転好きの人に代わって貰うと、楽しいかなと思います。
最初にいただいた首にスッポリとかぶるネックウォーマーみたいなのは、それが参加者の印かなと思って皆の真似をして首に置いておきましたが、最後の最後に砂埃が酷い時に口元や鼻を隠すように顔を覆ったら、安全ガードとなってとても快適でした。最初からやっていれば顔に砂が付かなかったのにと思いましたが、終わってみると真っ黒な顏をした自分達を笑えなかったかなと、帰国して見た写真には面白顏の記録が残っています。（サングラス必須）
スタッフの可愛い女性が、撮影スポットで写真を頼むと、たくさん撮ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。モアイ像が良かったです。

This was such a fun family activity. My 12 year old daughter, my wife and I had a blast and our guides Destiny and Khalil were very professional and fun. Highly recommended! Next time we're trying the atv's too!

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。

Some of the main activities, such as the lazy river, were unexpectedly closed, and I couldn't enjoy my time there. I was told it was because it wasn't the season yet, but I felt unhappy to hear that after paying the same high price as during the peak season. Also, the water was too cold, which made it uncomfortable.

なぜか流れるプールなどの主要アクティビティいくつかが停止されていて、ほぼ楽しめなかった。
まだシーズンではないからとのことだったが、ハイシーズンと同じ高い金額を払ったのに入園後に聞かされて嫌な気持ちでした。
そして水が冷たすぎてキツかったです。

We participated in the buggy experience at Kualoa Ranch as a couple!

We were picked up from our hotel around 8:00 AM and arrived at Kualoa shortly after 9:00 AM. We had free time until 11:00 AM, and activities started around 11:30 AM. The activities ended at 2:00 PM, and we were taken back to the hotel by bus at 3:00 PM.

The bus picked us up from the hotel and took about an hour to reach Kualoa Ranch! I thought I might freeze to death on the way there because the bus was so cold. (laughs)

There were other activities like horseback riding and cycling, and we were given explanations about the meeting points for each. The guide at that time was Japanese, which made me feel very relieved, but during the buggy experience, everything was in English, and there were no staff who understood Japanese, so I struggled a bit. (laughs)

There were about 15 other people participating in the buggy experience, all of whom were from overseas, communicating in English. They were receiving explanations about the mountains and scenery of Kualoa, but I didn't understand anything. (laughs)

However, the scenery was breathtaking, and driving the buggy was amazing! We took about two hours to go around Kualoa, stopping at about five photo spots to get out of the buggy and receive explanations. The coastline was beautiful, and it was fun driving through the mountains, with plenty of cows along the way. It was really enjoyable, especially since the weather was nice! It would have been boring if it had rained. (；；)(；；)

The activity cost about 30,000 yen per person, totaling around 60,000 yen for two, but it was worth it since we had a solid two hours of fun! (laughs)

For those who will be doing the buggy experience, your face will get covered in dust from the buggy tires, so make sure to wear the goggles and the cloth mask provided! For 2-3 days, my nose and ears were black!

とても安心しましたが
バギー体験では全て英語で日本語わかるスタッフがいなかったのでちょっと苦戦しましたwww

私たち以外にも15人ほどバギー体験の方がいましたが
皆様海外の方で英語でやり取りをしてて
クアロアの山の説明や景色の説明など受けてましたが何一つ分かりませんでした（笑）

けど景色は絶景でバギーの運転も最高でした！！
2時間ほどかけてクアロアを1周して
5箇所ほど写真撮影のスポットでバギー降りて、説明を受ける感じでした！
海沿いも綺麗だし山の中も走ってて楽しいし

これからバギー体験する方
お顔がバギーのタイヤではねた砂埃で真っ黒になるのでゴーグルと配られる布のマスクはしっかりつけましょう！2~3日鼻くそも耳くそも黒かったです！

I visited on a weekday in April, and it was quite empty, so I was able to ride the slides without much waiting. However, I'm not sure if it was because it was too empty, but the available slides changed depending on the time, and not all of them were operating at all times.

A Japanese woman from the tour was waiting at the pool entrance and kindly explained about the lockers and other things. She also offered help if anyone was having trouble. The large locker cost around $15 or $16, and you could open and close it as many times as you wanted.

The kids seemed to have a lot of fun, and I would like to go again.

4月の平日に遊びに行きましたが、ガラガラでスライダーはほとんど並ばずに乗れました。
ただ、空きすぎのせいなのか分かりませんが、スライダーは時間帯によって乗れる物が変わり、いつも全てがやっている訳ではありませんでした。

ツアーの日本人女性がプール入り口で待っていてくれてロッカー等の説明をしてくれたり、中でも困っている事があれば声を掛けてくれたりととても親切でした。
ロッカーは大の方で確か15か16ドルでした。何度も開け閉めし放題です。

子供もとても楽しかった様で、また行きたいと思います。

I couldn’t stop smiling driving the ATV around such a beautiful and famous location! The team were funny, friendly and knowledgeable.i had not realised how sacred this land is and it was great to learn more. I would highly recommend a visit.

We had a great time at Kualoa Ranch! The visitor center was nice and had good food but the tour was outstanding! Johnny and Reece were great tour guides!

It was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch in 30 years. I still have the impression from my last visit that the horses are very intelligent, and I feel the same way this time. I was able to enjoy a happy two hours of horseback riding in a location that is hard to experience in Japan. The guide was also very pleasant. It was the perfect experience for someone like me who loves Westerns and has always wanted to ride a horse in the great outdoors.

30年ぶりのクアロアランチでした。
前回、お馬さんがとっても賢いというイメージが残っていましたが、今回も同感です。
日本ではなかなか味わえないロケーションで、2時間も乗馬を堪能できるという幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。
ガイドの方も感じが良かったです。
西部劇が好きで、大自然の中で馬に乗ってみたいな、と思っていた自分にはピッタリの体験でした。

On the first day in Hawaii (May), I participated from 5 PM.

I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I joined.

I forgot my towel and was a bit anxious, but I was helped by being able to put it down on the boat when I got off the parasailing.

Most of the participants fell into the sea and got completely soaked, so it's better to bring a towel if you can.

I think it would be great if there were a towel rental service, either free or for a fee, and also a service providing motion sickness medication, as about 2 out of 10 participants were feeling sick from the boat ride.

ハワイきて初日（５月）に、17時〜で参加しました。

楽しくて参加してよかったです。

タオル忘れて行ってひやひやしましたが、パラセーリングから降りる時に、ボート上におろしてもらえたから助かりました。

参加者のほとんどが海に落とされてビショビショに濡れる方もいたので、タオルはできれば持って行った方がいいです。

無料か有料でタオル貸し出しサービスや船酔いで吐いてる人も参加者約10人中2人くらいいたので酔い止め提供のサービスがあれば、尚いいと思いました。

I wanted to see a hula show, so I chose one of the entertainment shows that also offered dinner. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was delighted by the lei welcome, and I enjoyed the welcome drink, Mai Tai, as well as the buffet-style dinner, which was delicious. The service was timely, and the hula dancing during dinner was performed right beside us, making for a packed experience. I was able to see the long-awaited hula show from the front row, and it was incredibly powerful. The dancers were beautiful, and I was amazed at how the same performers could showcase such a variety of dances. I had just watched the movie "Elvis" on the plane, so I found it fascinating and enjoyable to see the Elvis show. Since I grew up during Michael's era, that was fun too. Above all, the fire show in the Polynesian show was spectacular and very impressive. It became a wonderful memory on my last night in Hawaii.

フラのショーを観たいと思いいくつかあるエンターテイメントショーの中から、ディナーも楽しめるとのことで選ばせていただきました。ハワイは初めてだったので、レイの歓迎も嬉しく、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイもバイキング形式のディナーも美味しくいただきました。タイミング良くサーブもしていただき、ディナー途中のフラダンスもすぐそばで踊ってくださるのと、また体験もあり盛りだくさんでした。念願のフラのショーも最前列正面で見させていただき、迫力も満点でした。ダンサーの方たちも美しく、多種のダンスも同じ方？って思うほど、各種類のダンスも七変化で楽しませてもらいました。エルビスのショーもちょうど機内で『エルビス』の映画を観たすぐだったので、そっくりだなぁーと思いつつ、興味深く楽しませてもらいました。マイケルもちょうど世代なので楽しかったです。そして何よりポリネシアンショーの火のショーが素晴らしく、迫力満点でした。ハワイ最後の夜に良い思い出となりました。

Good family activity good picture taking moments!

I was wondering how the pool in Hawaii would be, but it was amazing! In Japan, the waiting time is usually longer, but here I was able to slide multiple times with hardly any wait. I opted for the premium deluxe, but since I didn't want to waste time having lunch and didn't drink enough to justify the free drinks, it might not be necessary. It was great to have priority access.

ハワイでプールってどう？と思っていましたが、最高でした！日本だと、並ぶ時間の方が長いですが、ほぼ並ばずに何度も滑れました。プレミアムデラックスにしましたが、ランチをとる時間が惜しいし、フリードリンクほど飲まないので、必要ないかも。優先で入れるのはとても良かったです。

The trip was great, service, experience and activities were all well worth it.
The boat trip, snorkeling, dinner, drinks and a dolphin sighting for one price was amazing.

Very highly recommended. Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Friendly staff!
