All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

The overall experience was simply amazing!
It was my first time parasailing and the crew was very helpful and made us comfortable.
The view from above was spectacular and I’d surely recommend anyone and everyone to go for it!
Very safe and extremely exciting.
The kids enjoyed it too

I participated in the celebration of my 60th birthday.
I attended with my wife.
It was my first time horseback riding, and I was a bit anxious, but once I started, the horse was very intelligent, and I felt a sense of unity and reassurance, which made me very happy and comfortable.

In the midst of the wonderful scenery, I had an amazing experience feeling like I could play freely with the horse.

I am grateful to the accompanying staff.
Thank you very much.

還暦の記念で参加させていただきました。
妻と2人で参加しました。
乗馬は、初めてで少し不安もありましたが、乗り始めると、とても馬が利口で安心して一体感を感じるこができたのがうれしく気持ちよかったです。

素晴らしい景色のなかで、馬と程よく自由に遊べたという感覚で素晴らしい体験ができました。

随行スタッフの方に感謝です。
ありがとうございました。

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.

The moment I floated up into the sky, the blue ocean spread out below me, and it was amazing! The weather was also great, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully. I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you might get a little splashed.

空にフワッと舞い上がった瞬間、眼下に青い海が広がって最高でした!お天気にも恵まれ、ダイアモンドヘッドも綺麗に見れました。少し濡れるので濡れてもよい服装で参加したらよいと思います。

Well organized tour. Tour has enough ppl to watch the full load of the onboard and plenty of equipments for each activity. They kept an close eye on everyone to assure our safety. Going with kids, to us, its a plus. I witnessed others who are seniorities and were given immediate assistance when needed. Great music band, good vocal and songs. Every team member of the tour is very friendly. I will definitely book with them next time I go to snorkeling.

This tour was great! The boat was clean and roomy. Nice tables that had shelf underneath to keep your items dry. Multiple bathrooms and changing facilities. Lunch was nice croissant lunch meat sandwhich with chips and fruit. Activities were very organized and good explanations for snorkeling, kayaks and SUP. The music was good fun and appropriate. Plenty of equipment for snorkel footballl volleyball etc The crew was awesome, helpful and personable. There was plenty of crew and life guards. They had everything that would allow you to have a fun filled day! I definitely would recommend and would book this in the future!

What an awesome show, it hits everything you want to see, fire dance, pig roast, games and hawaiian activities!

What an evening to celebrate an anniversary! Fabulous food and performers.

This is a blast of a day! The best tour we had on our trip!

One of the best adventures we did while in Hawaii. The staff was great, the history of the ranch was so exciting to learn about. It’s a must do while in Hawaii.We are still talking about our great times on vacation.

Thank you for all you all for an amazing day!!!

The show was very good, particularly the chief. He is a talented entertainer who interacted very well with his audience. The dancers were also very talented.
The buffet dinner was okay, nothing special.

It takes about a 50-minute drive from Waikiki to arrive. There are various experience tours available, and it's a popular tourist destination visited by many. The horses provided are well-trained and walk in a line without needing any guidance. However, my horse seemed a bit stubborn and didn't move until the guide gave it a gentle tap on the rear. I had a great experience riding through the magnificent grounds surrounded by mountains, and we also passed near the seaside. The breeze from the ocean added to the feeling of being in nature.

ワイキキから車で50分のドライブで到着。いろんな体験ツアーが用意されており、沢山の観光客が訪れている観光地です。
用意されている馬は慣れており、何もしなくても列を作って歩いていきます。ただ、私の馬はひねくれ者のようで、引率者のおねーさんが馬のお尻を叩くまで、動きません。良い体験をしました、山に囲まれた壮大な敷地を乗馬しますが、海辺の近くも通ります。海からの風もあり、自然を感じました。

We used it with three people.

Since we were the first, we were thrown into the sea without a moment to catch our breath. Haha.

It became the best memory!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

3人で利用しました。

トップバッターだったので、息つく間もなく
海上に飛ばされました。笑

最高の思い出となりました！

ありがとうございました^ ^

The guide spoke only English, but was very kind and took many family photos for us. The guide's leading on the bike was considerate of the entire group, allowing everyone to enjoy without feeling rushed. Along the way, we visited many movie filming locations, but aside from Jurassic Park, I hadn't seen any of them before. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had done some research beforehand. That said, we were blessed with good weather, and riding the e-mountain bike through the great outdoors was incredibly fun and amazing.

英語のみのガイドさんでしたが、とても親切で、たくさん家族の写真を撮ってくれました。
ガイドさんのバイクの先導も、一行全員を気づかっていただき、慌てることなく、参加した全員が楽しめたように感じます。
途中、映画のロケシーンを沢山まわりたしたが、ジュラシックパークス以外は見たことがなく、予習しておけば、もっと楽しめたとおもいます。
とはいっても、天気に恵まれ、eマウンテンバイクで大自然の風を切るのはとても楽しく、最高でした。

At first, I was anxious, but the crew's support and safety equipment made me feel secure, and I was able to enjoy the zip line! It was amazing✨. I was fine in short sleeves and shorts. Since you wear a helmet, it would have been better to bring a hat! On the way to the location, you can also see movie filming spots!

最初は、不安でしたが、クルーの対応や安全器具で安心して、ZIP LINEを楽しめました!最高です✨
半袖、半ズボンでも、大丈夫でした。ヘルメットをかぶるので、帽子を持っていったほうが良かったです!
現地に、行く途中、映画の撮影場所も見ることができます!

I made a reservation for 1:00 PM.
I arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in at the counter inside the ranch.
Japanese is not spoken, so a translation app is necessary.
After checking in, walk to the right side of the ranch for a brief buggy training session.
A female staff member was in charge and really tried to make it exciting.
Raincoats and face masks are provided for free, and once you put on a full-face helmet, you're ready to go.

You get to explore various courses for about an hour.
Kualoa Ranch has an amazing location, but the time commitment and waiting can be long.
Here, you can start and finish quickly.
Once you're done, you can enjoy plenty of activities in Haleiwa before heading back.

13:00の予約申し込みをしました。
15分ほど前に到着し、
牧場内のカウンターでチェックインを済ませます。
日本語は通じませんので、翻訳アプリが必要です。
チェックイン後は、牧場内右手に歩いていき、バギーの簡単な講習説明があります。
女性のスタッフが担当してくれたのですが、凄く盛り上げようとしてくれます。
カッパと、フェイスマスクは無料で配布され、フルフェイスヘルメットを被れば出発です。

小一時間色んなコースを回らせてくれます。
クアロアランチはロケーションが最高ですが、
拘束時間と待ち時間が長いです。
こちらはサッと始められてサッと終われます。
終わればハレイワの街でたっぷり遊んで帰れますよ。

Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.

However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.

During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.

After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.

生憎の雨模様でかなり寒く、ほとんどの人がサンドバーでは少し海に入って遊ぶだけでした。

ただ、自然のことですし、ハワイは12月が雨季ということで仕方がないですね。

海亀ウォッチングでは、多くの海亀を船上から見つけることができました。

その後、シュノーケリング。珊瑚礁の周りを魚が多く泳いでおり、いい経験になりました。願わくば次は夏のより暖かい季節に訪れたいと思います。

I encountered heavy rain. I was able to buy a poncho at the shop, but the parts that weren't covered got soaked and cold (as a result, I ended up buying clothes at the shop. The air conditioning on the bus to and from was also cold). So, I thought it would be necessary to prepare for that (like bringing a change of clothes, etc.).

Driving the buggy and being surrounded by vast nature was very refreshing and enjoyable! I thought it would be absolutely amazing on a sunny day. Next time, I will come on a sunny day!

大雨の日に当たってしまいました。
売店でポンチョを購入できましたが、それで守られてない部分はビショビショになり寒かったです(結果的に売店で服を購入しました。行き帰りのバスの冷房も寒いです)。
なので、その対策(着替え用意etc)をする必要があると思いました。

バギーでの運転と広大な自然は、開放感があってとても楽しかったです！
晴れの日だったら文句なく最高なんだろうな、と思いました。
今度は晴れの日に来ます！

I used the banana boat, and it was an incredibly thrilling experience due to the high speed. I also got to ride a canoe and encountered sea turtles. The staff provided fish food, which attracted a lot of fish, making snorkeling fantastic.

However, I went during low tide, and there was no visibility of land, with the water being deep enough that I could barely touch the bottom, so that was a bit disappointing.

自分はバナナボートを利用しました。かなり速度が出るため凄いスリリングな体験でした。またカヌーに乗ってウミガメにも出会うことが出来ました。魚用のエサをスタッフからもらえるので、たくさん魚が寄ってきて、シュノーケリングも最高でした。
ただ干潮の時間には行きましたが、陸地が見えるようなことはなく、脚がつくぐらいの深さ感でしたので、その点は残念でした。

You can interact with dolphins a lot, touching and playing with them. However, the price is a bit high for the experience time, and although they probably explained about the dolphins' ecology, I was disappointed that I couldn't understand much due to my English skills. At Sea Life Park, there are staff who speak Japanese and guided us to the experience venue, so I wish there had been someone who could provide explanations in Japanese during the experience.

イルカとたっぷり触れ合い、たくさん触ったり遊んだりすることが出来ます。ただ体験時間に対して金額は高めであることと、多分イルカの生態のことなどを説明してくれているのですが、自分の英語力ではあまり理解することが出来なかったのが残念でした。シーライフパークには日本語を喋れるスタッフもいて、体験会場までは誘導してくれたので、体験中も日本語で解説してくれる人がいたら良いなと思いました。

The view from 150 meters is amazing. It was a breathtaking sight with Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii visible. Even during the waiting time for parasailing, the crew kept us entertained, so there was no time to get bored. However, the boat might be a bit rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

高さ150mの景色は最高。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハワイの街並みが見える絶景でした。パラセーリングの待ち時間も船員の方が色々と楽しませてくれるので、退屈する時間はありませんでした。ただ船は少し酔いやすいかもしれないので、酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。

We had a great time, the views were beautiful and the burger lunch was surprisingly delicious!

The staff were very friendly and provided great tips on what to explore around the area.

It was a 2-hour plan, but the pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15, and we returned to Waikiki at 16:30. It turned into a full-day plan. However, I was able to enjoy Kualoa Ranch thoroughly.

Even without the Secret Beach tour, you can easily walk to a nearby beach (more for viewing than swimming). For lunch, I brought a sandwich, but hamburgers and other items are available for purchase. Around 13:00, I craved some fries and stood in line, but even at that time, there was still a wait, and those who ordered hamburgers had to wait 20 minutes.

For horseback riding, you cannot wear a strap around your neck. All belongings except for water, a smartphone, and a camera must be placed in a locker that costs $5 for unlimited access. The locker is large enough for two backpacks.

*If you're worried about dropping your smartphone while on the horse, it might be best to leave it behind. The ground is full of horse manure. The horse I rode was quite laid-back and kept a considerable distance from the horse in front. I was urged on by those behind me and signaled a lot with my legs, which left my outer thigh muscles sore.

Horses seem to have their own personalities, and it can be challenging with certain horses, but overall, it was enjoyable. It was a calm horse, and it turned out to be a great experience.

2時間のプランでしたが、ワイキキのお迎えが8:15で、帰りにワイキキに着いたのが16:30でした。1日かかるプランになります。
ですが、クアロアランチを十分に楽しめました。
シークレットビーチツアーでなくても、歩いてすぐのビーチにも行けます(泳ぐと言うよりは眺める用)
ランチは、サンドイッチを作って持って行きましたが、ハンバーガーなど売ってます。13時過ぎくらいにポテトが食べたくて並びましたが、その時間でもまだ並んでいて、ハンバーガーなどを頼んだ人たちは20分待ちでした。
乗馬は、首からかけるストラップはつけられません。荷物は、水とスマホ、カメラ以外は全て5ドルで開け閉め自由のロッカーに入れます。ロッカーは2人分のリュックが入る大きさです。
※馬の上からスマホ等落としたら大変なので心配な人はおいていってもいいかもしれません。
地面は馬のふんだらけです。
私が乗った馬は、のんびりな性格の馬で前の馬からかなり距離をとって歩いていました。
後ろの人からもせっつかれて、たくさん足で合図したので足の腿の外側が筋肉痛になりました。
馬にも性格があるようで、そういう馬だと大変ですが、総じて楽しかったです。おとなしい馬で、いい経験になりました。

The attendants were very lively, and we were thrilled by the wonderful scenery and the fun of driving the buggy. My 10-year-old son was also very happy.

There is a Japanese woman on-site, so you don't have to worry if you need assistance.

It was truly a wonderful experience!

(Depending on how you drive, you can get really dirty, but getting dirty is definitely more fun, so make sure to hit the gas near the water! (laughs))

アテンドのお兄さん達もとてもノリがよく、素晴らしい景色と楽しいバギーの運転に大興奮でした。10歳の息子もとても喜んでました。

現地には日本人の女性もいらっしゃるので困っても大丈夫です。

本当に素敵な体験ができました！

（乗り方次第でめちゃくちゃ汚れますが、絶対汚れた方が楽しいので、水辺では思いっきりアクセルを踏んでください！（笑））

Had an amazing day, we had a group of 9 people with ages ranging from 14 to 74 and we had 3 UTVs. Everyone had a great time, we will definitely do it again! Our hosts, Justin and Mack were fantastic, made the whole adventure fun and full of laughs.. highly recommend it to everyone and hopefully they get lucky and get Justin and Mack as their hosts

We had a blast exploring Haleiwa and taking part in this exciting ATV ride. This is a perfect activity for families with children. My entire family had a fantastic time, particularly my children who thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It was something new to us and adventurous. The guides were incredibly helpful given us time to read the rules before provided us with the necessary equipment, including helmets and safety instructions on how to operate the machine. We all had our own ATVs and to be honest, I was a bit nervous at first since I don’t drive a car haha! but I was able to conquer my fear and got the hang of it.

The ultimate off-road adventure! Thanks to the guides for giving us the freedom to drive at our own pace on the three rounds of driving. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching my 11 year old driving on his own! One of the highlights is a quick break where we took a stunning photo opportunity by the gorgeous beach--thanks to the help of our awesome guide who arranged us with our ATVS for the perfect shot.

The stables also have a petting zoo where you can hang out with some furry friends or watch horseback riding lessons in action while you wait for your scheduled adventure time.

The experience left such an impression that my family couldn't stop talking about it! Highly recommended and without a doubt would do it again!

It's our second time with this parasailing company, and once again, they delivered a thrilling adventure beyond our expectations! We did this with my girls when they were 9 and 11 years old, and my son, who was only 4 years old, could not join us at the time. But now, my girls are 18 and 16, and my son has turned 11 years old, and this time, he's finally able to join on the fun with us! We're thrilled to have the whole family together for this incredible experience.

My kids experienced the best time of their lives, and it's so fun to watch them happily share their experiences to their cousins and friends.

As always, the captains are fun and they make the experience more exciting! The beautiful pictures taken added to the joy of the trip too.

The pre-experience explanatory video had Japanese subtitles, and the instructors spoke Japanese, so it was not a problem if you are not fluent in English! The practical instructions were clear, and I was able to get on the board right away. There were three of us participating, but since there were two instructors, they provided guidance tailored to each participant's level, allowing us to have a meaningful experience. For those who were capable, they encouraged us to try new things, like riding the waves alongside the instructors or going out to where the big waves were. For those who were less experienced, they offered experiences in areas with moderate waves, and if someone wanted to try the big waves, they made it possible!

体験前の事前説明動画は日本語字幕があり、インストラクターの方も日本語が話せる方だったので英語が上手でなくても問題ないです！
実践もわかりやすく説明してくださり、すぐにボードに乗ることができました。3人での体験となりましたが、インストラクターの方が2名いたので体験者のレベルに合わせてインストラクターの方が指示してくれ、有意義な時間が過ごせました。出来る人にはどんどん新しいことも体験させてくれ、インストラクターの方と一緒に（隣に並んで）波に乗ったり、大きな波がある沖にいったりもしました。不慣れな人には中くらいの波のところで体験や、本人が大きな波にトライしたかったら、体験させてくれたりと、、！！

Tons of fun. Safe and worthwhile. We chose the picture package. It’s cash purchase. Tips recommended.

Will recommend this ride for sure.
