All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

I had a great experience there. The people are awesome and talented and kind.
I had alot of fun and I'm so glad I was able to have that experience. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

The English was easy to understand, and it was a safe experience with a small group. The horseback riding experience in the beautiful sea of the North Shore was incredibly moving. The riding time was 1.5 hours, and it was more cost-effective than other tours with Japanese-speaking guides and transportation. We used hui car share for transportation, so after horseback riding, we were able to leisurely enjoy food walking in Haleiwa. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to try sunset horseback riding.

英語もわかりやすく、少人数のパーティーで安心です。ノースショアの綺麗な海での乗馬体験は、大感動でした。乗馬時間は1.5時間で、他の日本語ガイド付き送迎付きのツアーよりコスパ良です。移動はhuiカーシェアを使用したので、乗馬の後はハレイワで食べ歩きもゆっくりできました。とても良い想い出になりました。次回はサンセット乗馬を体験してみたいです。

Sorry in advance. Not much of a writer here but we really wanted to share our experience.

Pros:
- The whole team were amazing! They screamed aloha spirit. My personal favorite was the blonde gentleman who spoke Japanese and Korean.

- live band was a hit! Both singers were amazing!

- food was basic but good. It was nicely plated as well which I was NOT expecting. Center piece was a nice touch.

- Really good bang for your buck with all the activities.

Con:

Not really reflective of the crew but the sandbar was not as shallow as I expected. Obviously it depends on the ocean and tides etc.

The Luau was good. The Kalua pork was amazing. The plating could have been better. The staff were very friendly and nice.

I am so glad I booked this luau for my family and me. We all had such a good
time. The show was very entertaining to watch. We got to learn a lot about Polynesian culture. They also involve the audience as well. As for the food, it was great as well. There was a wide selection of food and dessert. If you want to have a good time and eat great food, I would recommend this. You also have the option of adding transportation which was great for us.

Overall very nice experience.
Food was better than anticipated and show was funny and very informative.
It is well organized as well.
A bit far and remote however was worth it and would highly recommend.

We spent a great afternoon at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar. It was a great ride in out with live music from the best crew!

Incredible staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. I like the options to participate or just soak in the beautiful scenery going snorkeling or on the sandbar. Food was great also!

It was a very valuable experience for the children. The staff were also very kind and provided thorough explanations to the children's questions.

子供にとってとても貴重な体験となりました。
スタッフの方もとても親切で、子供の質問にも丁寧にく説明をしてくれます。

Interacting with the dolphins was very enjoyable. It was a valuable experience. Since you can also feed sea turtles and small birds, I think it's a place that will make children very happy.

イルカ触れ合いはとても楽しかったです。貴重な体験ができました。海亀や小鳥の餌やりなどもできるので、子供がとても喜ぶ場所だと思います。

Even at an early hour, there were few other boats, and both the check-in and departure were smooth, making the experience feel a bit longer. If you time it right, you can enjoy a sense of rendezvous with the jet.

早い時間でも、他の船も少なく、受付も出航もスムーズで、少し時間も長く体験できたように感じました。
時間帯を合わせたら、ジェット機とのランデブー感覚が味わえます。

I participated with my daughter (150m).

Due to weight restrictions, two participants are required (it seems that if you're over 80kg, you can participate alone), so we joined as a family of two. The meeting point was at the boat harbor, just a few minutes' walk from the Hilton Lagoon, which made it convenient without any hassle or loss of time, allowing us to fill our free time easily.

We were worried about dropping our phones, so we participated with a waterproof camera attached to a strap, but there were others in a different group who were taking selfies with a selfie stick (of course, at their own risk...).

The 150m height is truly impressive, with all the buildings visible below and a fantastic view of the surroundings. Also, if you wish (?), it seems they can provide some bouncing near the water's surface.

Although not much Japanese is spoken, I think you can manage since there are other groups around.

母娘で参加しました（150m）

体重の関係で2名の参加が必須（80kg以上なら単独も可能みたいですが）という事で家族2名で参加しました。待ち合わせ場所はヒルトンのラグーンから徒歩数分のボートハーバーで移動の負担やロスがない点がよく、空き時間を埋めやすかったです。

自分たちは携帯は落下させそうで怖かったので防水カメラにストラップ付けて参加しましたが、別の組では自撮り棒で頑張って撮影されてる方もいました（もちろん自己責任…）

150mというのは本当に高く建物は全て眼下に見え、周囲が一望できる点が素晴らしいです。また希望すれば（？）、水面付近での乱高下などもして貰えるようです。

あまり日本語は通じませんが別の組も居るので勝手は分かるかと思います。

I participated in a dolphin encounter with elementary and middle school students.

If you take the shuttle bus from the Marriott Hotel on the east side of Waikiki, it departs around 9:00 AM, so you don't need to wake up too early, and the travel distance is not too long (about 30 minutes). The bus also has a restroom, making it easy to participate with children.

The aquarium is of medium size, and there isn't a significant difference in the dolphin and sea lion shows compared to Japan. (Don't compare it to places like Churaumi, Kaiyukan, or Hakkeijima.)

The important part of interacting with the dolphins can be experienced slowly over a good amount of time (about 45 minutes?), and companions can take photos from the opposite shore (which has shade), so there were several participants with one child and one guardian. (Dads took photos and watched the bags from the shore.)

There are also tours to search for wild dolphins offshore, but for families with children, the early departure time and travel distance can be challenging, and since you can't guarantee seeing or interacting with them, the kids said they were glad to have participated in this tour.

小学生、中学生を連れてドルフィンエンカウンターに参加しました。

ワイキキ東側のマリオットホテルから送迎バスでの出発であれば、9:00頃なのであまり早起きも必要なく移動距離も長すぎず（30分程度）、バスにトイレも付いているので子連れでも参加しやすかったです。

水族館としての規模は中程度で、イルカやアシカのショーも日本と比べて大きな違いはありません。（美ら海、海遊館、八景島などと比べてはいけません）

肝心のイルカとの触れ合いはゆっくりと時間をかけて体験できる（45分程度？）のと、同行者も対岸（日陰もあり）などから撮影は出来るので、子供＋保護者１名での参加者も数名いました。（お父さんは陸から撮影＆荷物番）

他に沖で野生のイルカを探すツアーもありますが、子連れには出発時刻（早朝）や移動距離の苦労もあり、確定で会える訳でも触れる訳でもない為、本ツアーに参加してよかったと子供たちも言っていました。

I had high expectations, but it started to rain and the show ended inside. The food was delicious, so I wish I could have seen a bit more until the end.

かなり期待していたのですが、雨が降ってきて中でShowが終わってしまいました。食事は美味しかったので、もう少し最後までみたかったです。

the kids lvoed to get to see the fish from the portholes! great day underwater

This was best luau show we have been to. The Chief was so funny and made the show. We loved the girls dancing and the guys with the fire were outstanding. The food was ok

Had the most amazing time! The staff are absolutely wonderful!!!

My family loved this! Book early because we would not have wanted to miss this the most.

I think it's better to take excessive measures against seasickness. Even if the waves are calm when departing, once you head out to sea, the weather doesn't matter and the waves can be high, making you feel sick even in the cage.

I couldn't understand anything from the English guide, but it was manageable.

There are a huge number of sharks, and they don't attack, making the experience wonderful.

とにかく船酔い対策は過剰なくらいした方がいいと思います。
出航する時は波が穏やかでも沖に出れば天候など関係なく波が高く、檻に入っても酔います。

英語ガイドで何も理解はできませんでしたがなんとかなります。

サメはすごい量いて、襲ってくることもなく体験としては素晴らしいです。

Such a great experience! We had the best and want to return again soon.

We loved the experience. Such soulful music on the boat followed by snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking. And then chilling on the floating couch. Loved it all.

More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.

During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.

参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。

ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。

I participated with my daughter. Everything was in English except for the reception. On the boat, they seemed to think we didn't understand English, so we were a bit neglected, which was a little disappointing. The explanations were somewhat lacking, but we could understand by watching others, so I wasn't too worried. The parasailing was fun with great views. Since we go out to sea on the boat for parasailing, I recommend taking medication if you are prone to motion sickness.

娘と2人で参加しました。
受付以外は全て英語でした。
ボートでは私たちが英語が分からないと思い、ぽぽ放ったらかし状態だったため、少し残念でした。
説明なども雑でしたが、他の方のを見ていて分かりますので、心配はありませんでした。
パラセーリングは、景色も良く、楽しかったです。
パラセーリングへは、ボートで沖の方まで行くので、酔いやすい方は薬を飲むことをオススメします。

It was just amazing.
The weather wasn't great, but I still had fun.
When we took off, it felt exhilarating, and as we gained altitude, I could see the ocean, Diamond Head, the beach, and the hotels, which was really nice.
I took the bus round trip from Sheraton Waikiki, so I told the captain that there was no need for a Japan trip.
I have over 100 photos and received them as data.

もう、最高でした。
天気がイマイチでしたが楽しめました。
飛び立つ時がウォーという感じでしたが、どんどん高度が上がると海、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチ、ホテルと見えて気持ちよかった。
シュラトンワイキキからバスで往復したので、海へのジャポンはキャプテンになしと伝えました。
写真は100枚以上ありデータでもらいました。

I am just shy of being in my late fifties, but this time, I participated in zip lining alone for the first time. There were nine participants, and the other eight were all foreigners. However, I was able to enjoy myself with the other foreign participants.

After each zip line, everyone cheered and clapped for each other. There were three instructors, and even though I don't understand English, they spoke to me in simple English before I took off to help me relax. I didn't quite understand the explanations during the activity, but the atmosphere was enjoyable enough.

There were also about three spots along the way to hydrate. I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii while moving along mountain paths and crossing suspension bridges. The three instructors were very dedicated to making sure the guests had a good time.

I think I would enjoy it even more if I could understand English better. I would like to challenge myself again!

Great sunset sail & swim. Was BYOB and had a good crew. 10/10 would recommend if you’re downtown and want to good time.

This is just what I needed. I'm not a great swimmer nor very confident in open water, and this was an excellent way to learn to snorkel. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our guide was Ashton. He was awesome! And the pictures were cool.

Destination was easy to find. The guides were very attentive and got us all on the horses fairly quickly. I've never really ridden a horse before so I was a bit nervous of maneuvering my horse but she was a go getter so I didn't have to try too hard. We all rode in a line which was very easy. We had to stop a few times which my horse hated, I got a very impatient horse which I don't blame her. Kinda wished we went a quicker pace but then that would shorten our trip which was 1.5hrs which .5 of that was loading and unloading the horses. I wish the trail was a bit longer. The area was beautiful and quiet which I like. I got some good pictures. We used my step daughters phone for the group pictures cause she had a better camera but when she sent me the pics they came out blurry and I don't get to see her often. Was a little disappointed but it was OK. Technical error. Overall great experience and got to feed the horses treats in the end.

When my family and I first got to the dock we were greeted by the friendly boat crew. They were very personable and caring. On the adventure, we made our way to the sandbar and were able to snorkel, paddleboard, canoe, and relax on the water deck. The sandbar was perfect to stand on and was not deep. The reef was beautiful to look at while snorkeling. My family and I paid extra for the intertube and banana boat, this experience was AWESOME!! You were asked what speed you would like the ride. We wore life jackets and we felt very safe even though this was an extreme water activity. The live music was wonderful, while the overall atmosphere was family oriented. This was our favorite excursion!! If you want a day to play in the water and have fun with the family, this is the excursion for you.

I arrived at the meeting point at 10:15 for my 10:30 reservation. However, I was told the start time was 10:45, so I bought a hot dog and a pineapple smoothie from a nearby stall for breakfast!

Unfortunately, we were the only Japanese people there (there was one group before us). There were 12 of us who boarded the boat and headed out to sea. There is a place to store your belongings at the feet of the boat! With 12 people, a sense of teamwork naturally develops, so I thought theft was unlikely. If there had been other Japanese people, we could have taken pictures together... what a shame! Just before jumping, the crew asks if you want to take a picture. You can view the photos (about 130) later at the reception, and if you like any, they can be transferred to an SD card or your phone for $40. You also have the option not to buy them.

Anyway, since we had to wait for the other groups to jump, anyone prone to seasickness definitely needs to take motion sickness medication. Two people from our team ended up vomiting.

10時30分予約で、15分に集合場所に行きました。
ですが、開始は45分と言われたので、近くの出店でホットドックとパイナップルスムージーを買って朝食！

日本人は残念ながら私たちだけでした。(前の組は1組いました。)
12人でそこから船に乗り、海へ。
持ち物は、船の足元に入れるところがあります！
12人はなんとなくチームワークみたいなのが芽生えるので、そこで盗難はあまり考えられないなぁと思いました。
同じ日本人がいたら、写真の撮りあいが出来たと思います。。残念！
ただ、飛ぶ直前にカメラ撮る？とクルーに聞かれます。
撮ったやつ(130枚くらい)をあとで受付のところで見て、気に入ったらSDカードと携帯にそこで入れてもらえます。これが40ドル。そこで買わない選択肢も出来ました。

とにかく他の組が飛ぶのを待つので、船酔いする人は絶対に酔い止めがいります。
私たちのチームでも2人が吐いてました。
