All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

The departure time was delayed, feeling like Hawaii time. There are restrooms at the harbor, but the men's room has security, so you might need to follow the boat staff to get in (I was let in). The women's room didn't have security, and it's not recommended to go alone. It's better to use the restroom at the hotel.

The boat moves quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, definitely take some motion sickness medication. A foreign girl who was on board looked like she was struggling. Once you're up in the parachute, the view is amazing; you can see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head clearly. The captain tends to play around quite a bit with the parachute.

In the end, you usually get splashed into the sea, so if you don't want that, it's better to say "water!" before the parachute goes up. After getting splashed, your body gets cold, so a jacket might be necessary. The staff will take photos for you, but they aren't professionals, so the quality might not be perfect. You can check the photos at the reception at the end and decide whether to purchase them, which is reassuring. The data can be downloaded to an SD card or smartphone.

I think parasailing is something you should definitely try at least once!

出発時間は予定より遅れて出発ハワイ時間って感じです。
ハーバーにトイレはあるが男子用はセキュリティー付きなので
ボートのスタッフに着いて行けば入れるかも（自分はいれてもらった）
女子用はセキュリティーは無かった、一人で行くのは進められない。
トイレはホテルで済ましておいた方が良い
ボートは激しく進むので船に弱い人は酔い止め必見です、
同乗した外国人の女の子が辛そうでした。
パラシュートは上がっちゃえば最高の景色です、ワイキキビーチ、ダイアモンドヘッドが良く見えます。
キャプテンに結構パラシュートは遊ばれます。
最後には大体海ポチャされます、海ポチャがやな場合はパラシュートが上がる前に水ダメ！とか言った方が良いです。
海ポチャして上がると体が冷えるので上着は必要かな。
あとスタッフが写真を撮ってくれますが、プロでは無いのでそれほど
バッチリとはいかないかもです、写真は最後に受付で確認して
そこで購入するか判断できるので安心です、データーはSDカードかスマフォに

パラセーリングは一度はやって見た方がいいと思いますよ！

The incredible hospitality of the crew made our whole experience that much better. Great snorkeling for beginners. Donuts were yummy. Awesome music. Sandbar is a must do activity! This crew will go out of their way to make sure you have a good and safe experience!

Loved that I booked it for the family. We had a fun time snorkeling. Pick up from hotel was great, liked that the shuttle bus driver looked for us since we stood on the wrong bus stop. The crew was amazing and very friendly. The co-captain lady was the best. She took her time to show us how to use the snorkel, fit our life vest, gave us drinks. The captain was super friendly as well. The water was warm and clean. The boat was clean, restrooms to use and to change in were clean. Snorkels were clean and easy to use. Burgers was the best and we even had hot chocolate at the end of the swim. They took us to the shallow area first which was great, and then the deeper area, we saw coral reefs, lots of fish, and even sea turtles. It was amazing thing to see.
Only thing is, they didn’t have enough seats to sit outside, so we stayed inside during boat ride, and towards the end of the ride, everyone was cold so mostly everyone went inside, so we had to stand, which is ok, about 10 mins only. Overall, still a very awesome trip and would definitely go again!

Overall the experience was great! We arrived a little late and we were still accommodated into the next tour. The tour guides were excellent and staff was extremely kind. The tour was well structured and we took a loop around the entire ranch. The scenery was majestic and I totally recommend.

It was good well explained with saftey and what the plan was. The experience was o.k however there wasn't alot of sea life to see like turtles or alot of fish. The time wasn't as long as it is mentioned in the advertisement. It's great that they offer pics and vids I just wish there would of been more than just 6.

This excursion was unmatched! The water was pristine, the crew had the best vibes, they all want you to have a good time & we did! Unforgettable!

This was my third time at Sandbar, and I was finally able to participate on a day that truly felt like "this is Sandbar!"

As soon as my Hawaii trip dates were set, I checked the tide levels and made a reservation for a day that coincided with the low tide, which only happens a few times a year.

Thank you to the friendly staff. I was able to enjoy skin diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and other marine sports in excellent conditions with the blue sea and white sandy shallows.

If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely must experience this amazing adventure!

サンドバー3回目にして、まさしく
これがサンドバー！という日に参加できました

ハワイ旅行の日程が決まった時点で潮位を調べてそれが年に数回という干潮にあたる日に合わせて予約をさせていただきました。

気さくなスタッフの方々ありがとうございました。
青い海、浅瀬の白い砂という好コンディションの中でスキンダイビング、SAP、カヤック…マリンスポーツを堪能できました。

ハワイに行った際は是非是非この感動を体験しない手はありません！

I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors at Kualoa Ranch while off-roading. It was a lot of fun driving while taking in the scenery. The guide was also great, taking photos and being considerate by talking to us in English.

However, the dust was quite intense, and I ended up covered in sand, so I would appreciate it if that could be mentioned in the tour's precautions. After the tour, I changed into a fresh outfit.

クアロアランチの大自然をオフロード走行で満喫できました。景色を見ながら運転できてとてもたのしかったです。ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたり、英語ですが気遣って話しかけてくれてとても良かったです。
ただ、砂埃がすごくて全身砂まみれになるので、その旨をツアーの注意事項に書いて頂ければと思います。
終わったら全身着替えました。

It was a fun tour riding buggies through the grounds of Kualoa Ranch. I think it's the best tour within Kualoa Ranch. A guide accompanies you, but all explanations at the points are in English, so for Japanese people who are not good at English, you might just have to feel the atmosphere.

The dust is quite intense, and your clothes and bags will get pretty dirty, so you need to be careful about what you wear and bring. Also, be careful when putting on the goggles after attaching them to the helmet, as it can get your face dirty.

クアロアランチの敷地内をバギーで駆け抜ける楽しいツアーでした。クアロアランチ内の行動範囲は、一番のツアーだと思います。ガイドが付きますが、ポイントでの説明は全て英語なので英語が得意でない日本人には、雰囲気で感じ取るしかないかな。
砂埃がすごく、洋服やバックはかなり汚れますので、着ていく服と持ち物には十分に注意が必要です。また、ゴーグルをヘルメットに付けた後に装着すると顔が汚れますので十分に注意してください。

I participated in June 2023. The pick-up from the hotel during my stay was convenient, and if you choose an activity with lunch included, the morning schedule isn't too early, which I recommend.

After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay for boarding. There are restrooms at the dock, but it can get crowded with participants. Don't worry, there are also restrooms on the boat.

When boarding, there were separate boats for Japanese guests and guests from other countries, so the boat I boarded was filled with Japanese tourists. The guide spoke only Japanese, so there were no issues.

The sandy beach of the heavenly sea is more like a shallow area, with the water reaching up to my waist. We also had time to practice snorkeling.

As for the lunch, the hamburgers were freshly grilled on the boat, and the meat was quite delicious, which made me very satisfied.

After lunch, we moved by boat while watching the honu (sea turtles) and snorkeled for about an hour at a snorkeling spot before returning to the port and taking the bus back. I think we arrived at the hotel around 4 PM.

I was able to see the honu from the boat, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any while snorkeling.

Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Just be careful about sunburn.

2023年6月に参加しました。滞在中のホテルからのピックアップで、昼食付きアクティビティであれば朝もそこまで早くないのでおすすめです。
バスで1時間ほど走ったらカネオヘ湾に到着、乗船となります。船着き場にはトイレもありますが、参加客で混雑します。船の中にもトイレはありますのでご安心を。
乗船の際は、日本人客の船と、それ以外の国の客とに分かれて船が用意されているので、乗った船はすべて日本人観光客でした。ガイドも全て日本語でしたので問題ございません。
天国の海の砂浜は、砂浜というか浅瀬になっており、腰まで海水が届きます。シュノーケリングの練習時間も兼ねておりました。
昼食のハンバーガーですが、船内でお肉が焼かれた出来たてのもので、肉もかなり美味しく満足できました。
昼食後に船で移動して、移動しながらホヌをウォッチングしつつ、シュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほどシュノーケリング、帰港、バスで送迎となります。ホテル到着は16時ぐらいだったと思います。
ホヌは船から見れましたが、シュノーケリング中は残念ながら会えませんでした。
全体を通してかなり満足のいくものでした。ただ日焼けにはご注意を。

The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

This experience is definitely worth it. The staff and crew are so lovely, fun, and energetic, they brighten up your day as you head out to the sandbar. Their experience and overall "good vibes" makes the trip so enjoyable as you get to experience an amazing time out in the sandbar with music, activities, food, and community. Do it!

The tour included a Japanese guide, but most participants were from overseas, so the explanations were primarily in English, with occasional translations in Japanese. If you asked questions, they would respond in Japanese. During the trekking, the group gradually spread out at their own pace, so I hardly listened to the explanations in the second half, but I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature and the fresh air around me. I never thought I would go out of my way to experience such impressive nature in Japan, so I'm glad I participated in this tour! For those interested in the Manoa Falls tour, I hope you can enjoy the great outdoors without worrying too much about language or history.

日本語ガイドさん付きでしたが、参加者の方は海外の方が多く基本的には英語、日本語でもちょくちょく解説してくれる感じでした。
質問したら日本語で教えてくれますし、トレッキング中はだんだん団体の間隔がそれぞれのペースで空いてくるので、後半はほとんど解説を聞いてなかったんですが、目の前に広がる大自然と肌に感じる澄んだ空気で全然楽しめました^ ^
日本でなかなかここまで立派な自然をわざわざ感じに行こうとは思わなかったので、参加して良かったツアーです！
マノアの滝ツアーが気になる方は言葉とか歴史とかはあまり気にせず、とにかく大自然をいっぱい堪能してほしいなと思いました^ ^

I went parasailing for the first time‼️
I want to praise myself for being able to do something like this at over 60 years old!
The scenery was amazing‼️ The sense of freedom‼️
I felt motivated to work hard again starting tomorrow.

初めてパラセーリングをしました‼️
６０歳をすぎてこんな事が出来る自分を褒めてやりたいです！
素晴らしい風景‼️解放感‼️
また明日から元気に頑張ろうと思いました。

This luau was wonderful! Dinner was great, the service was well executed and we learned so much about the Polynesian culture. The show was awesome! Very talented performers who made it so much fun for everyone in attendance! This is a definite yes!!

The directions listed on the voucher did not include guidance from the Haleiwa area, which led to some confusion as I thought I should turn on Einos Rd. I was also flustered because Google Maps provided incorrect directions. When coming from Haleiwa, you should pass Einos Rd, continue for a while, and then turn right at the sign after passing the church on your right. Unfortunately, we encountered rain several times along the way, but the zipline experience itself was very enjoyable, and the staff were friendly. Even though we didn't understand English well, we had a great time.

バウチャーに記載のdirectionはハレイワ方面からの案内は記載されておらずイーノスRdで曲がるものと思い道に迷いました。Google mapでも誤った指示がされたので焦りました。ハレイワから行く際はイーノスRdをパスして暫く教会を右手に通り越して看板を右折です。残念ながら途中で何回か雨に降られましたがジップライン自体は大変さ楽しかったです、スタッフも気さくで英語が分からない自分達も充分に楽しめました。

We participated as a couple in mid-June. Since neither of us speaks any English, we were worried about how it would go, but upon arrival, the check-in guidance and the reception for each activity had a separate announcement saying, "For Japanese speakers, please go this way," so we were able to use the services with peace of mind. The four-wheeler was an automatic vehicle, so we could drive it just like a car in Japan. One thing to note is that while driving, mud and water from the car in front can splash onto you. I think it's better not to wear your favorite white T-shirt.

6月中旬に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
英語が全く話せない2人なので大丈夫かと心配していましたが到着後のチェックインの案内や各アクティビティの受付は『日本語の方はこちらへ〜』と別で案内をしてくれたので安心して利用できました。
四輪バギーはAT車なので日本の車と同じように運転できました。注意点として運転中前の車の泥水がはねてきます。お気に入りの白Tシャツなどは着て行かない方がいいと思います。

I enjoyed it more than I had imagined. The course was varied, allowing for different ways to have fun. The lunch was fresh and delicious, with both meat and vegetables. The tour led by Mr. KOA was especially enjoyable.

想像していたより、楽しめた。コースがバラエティに飛んでいて、いろいろな楽しみ方が出来る。ランチはお肉も野菜も新鮮で美味しかった。特にガイドMr.KOAさんのツアーは楽しかった

The passport to pearl harbor was an excellent experience for the price. You can see the many museums and learn about the event's history. I recommend this to anyone interested in WWII.

This time, I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with a Diamond Premier seat. With priority entry, I was able to sit right next to the stage, and it was an impressive show filled with the spirit of Hawaii! The food was also available to us first, and both the taste and portion size were great. However, everything from the entrance announcement was in English, so I couldn't understand the MC's jokes, which was a bit disappointing. It was a moment that made me realize the necessity of English conversation at my age. If the budget allows, I think it's better to participate with a Diamond Premier seat. Regular seats enter after the Diamond seats, and since the seating is further back, you can't feel the dynamism of the show.

今回は、初めてのハワイ旅行で、ダイヤモンドプレミアシートで参加させてもらいました。
優先入場で、席もステージの横で見ることができて、迫力があって、ハワイ感満載のショーでした！
料理も優先的に取ることができて、味もボリュームも問題ありませんでした。
ただ、入場案内から全て英語なので、MCのトークで笑いが起きても、理解出来ずで少し残念でした。英会話の必要性を、この年で感じた1シーンです。
予算が許すならば、ダイヤモンドプレミアで参加された方がいいと思います。レギュラーシートは入場がダイヤモンドシートのあとで、食事を取るのももあと、座席も後方なので、ショーのダイナミックさを感じることが出来ないです。

This is the 2nd year in a row my family and I have booked this snorkel cruise. We loved it each time. We loved being in the middle of the ocean snorkeling and being on the sand bar. We felt safe each time and had a lot of fun. The staff was wonderful and the food was great as well. Anytime we come to Oahu, Captain Bobs is our go to!

It was my first time horseback riding, but the guide explained how to ride in the car, so I was able to do it without any difficulty. Riding while looking at the blue ocean was incredibly pleasant! The horses were well-groomed and very obedient.

Unfortunately, I couldn't spot any sea turtles at the beach where they come up for air, but in Haleiwa, I had a reservation at a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, and it was really tasty. However, there definitely wasn't enough time to visit all the restaurants. I recommend doing some research on what places are available and where to go.

At Dole, the line for the pineapple ice cream was very long, so I think you need to get in line right away after getting off to make sure you can return in time.

初めての乗馬でしたが、車の中でガイドさんが乗り方を説明してくれたので、難なくのれました。青い海を横目に見ながらの乗馬はとにかく気持ちよかったです！馬は綺麗に手入れされ聞き分けの良い子たちでしたよ。
海亀が息継ぎのために顔を出すビーチでは残念ながら目撃できませんでしたが、ハレイワではガーリックシュリンプの美味しい店を予約していただき、そこがとても美味しかったです。
ただ時間が足りなくて、店を回りきれないのは確実です。どんな店があるのか、どこに入るのか下調べしていくことをおすすめします。
ドールではパインアイスが長蛇の列だったので、降りたらすぐに並ばないと時間までに戻れないと思います。

Our honeymoon, and our first time in Hawaii!
We went to the sandbar (*^^*)
I heard it can be affected by the weather, but it was beautifully sunny! We also saw a lot of sea turtles, which was very moving (；＿；)
The hamburgers we had on the boat were exceptional!!
I definitely want to come back again!

新婚旅行にて、初めてのハワイ！
そしてサンドバーでした(*^^*)
天候によって左右されるとの事でしたが
見事に快晴！そしてウミガメも沢山見れてとても感動しました(；＿；)
船上で食べるハンバーガーも格別！！
また絶対来たいです！

There were three of us participating, and the rest were about 25 foreign guests. We were lucky to have two guides, and one Japanese guide was assigned to our group of three, providing detailed explanations on various topics. The ground was wet and uneven, so it was necessary to take precautions against slipping. I think it's best to be prepared for muddy shoes as well. The path to the waterfall features various plants and power spots, so it was never boring.

On the way back, we received sandwiches and were taken directly to Tantalus Lookout for lunch. It was a beautiful hill with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and it felt wonderful to be there.

私達３人で参加しました、他は全て２５人程は外国人の方々でした。
ガイドさんが二人付いてくれてて、一人の日本人ガイドさんが３人に付いてくれたのでとてもラッキーで細かい事まで丁寧に説明してもらえました。
足下は湿ってて足がゴロゴロしてるので、滑らない工夫が必要です。泥で靴も汚れますので覚悟してたほうがいいと思います、滝までの道のりは色々な植物やパワースポットがあり飽きません。
帰りにサンドイッチを受け取りそのままタンタラスの丘まで連れて行ってもらい昼食でした、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキが見渡せるとても見晴らしのキレイな丘で気持ち良かったです。

There are sharks everywhere, not just a few. Sharks in 360 degrees.
The cage is so wide that not only my hands and feet but even my body can easily stick out; in fact, if the sharks really try, they could get in too. It's a tour that depends on the sharks' mood.
There were no Japanese participants, but there was one Japanese staff member, which made me feel very reassured.
A GoPro is essential; it seems you can rent one there too. I think it will be a topic of conversation for ages, so you should definitely take photos and videos. I’ll probably brag about it to my grandchildren right before I die.
I was in the cage for 20 minutes, but I think 10 minutes would have been enough (laughs). In the first half, I was moved by seeing the sharks, and in the second half, I was just swaying around like in a washing machine. I got seasick. You will definitely get seasick. Even if you take motion sickness medication, you will still feel it.
The staff member said the weather on the day I participated was very calm, but once you're in the cage, that doesn't matter; you will get seasick.
On the way back on the boat, a handsome guy with bronze hair was throwing up right in front of me. The boat was moving at a decent speed, so the vomit was flying sideways. Even while throwing up, he was still handsome.
The distance from the hotel in Waikiki to the North Shore is too far, so it's better to check your transportation options properly. It seemed like everyone came by rental car. We took a bus transfer, but I was most worried about whether we would make it there.
Overall, I was very satisfied! I don't think I'll ever get the chance to swim with sharks again in my life, so if you're hesitating, you should definitely do it. You’ll get to see the handsome guy's blue face.

サメがうじゃうじゃおる、ちらほらじゃない。360度サメ。
檻の幅が広すぎて手足どころか身体も全然出る、なんならサメも頑張りゃ入れる。サメのお気持ち次第のツアー。
参加者に日本人はいなかったけど、スタッフに1人日本人のお兄さんがいたのでとっても安心でした。
GoProは必須、向こうでもレンタル出来るみたい。未来永劫話のネタになると思うから絶対写真も動画も撮るべき。死ぬ直前にも孫に自慢する思う。
20分檻の中に居たけど、10分でええと思った（笑）前半はサメ見て感動して、後半は洗濯機の中でただただ揺られてた。酔う。絶対に酔う。酔い止め飲んでも酔う。
自分が参加した日の気候、めちゃくちゃ穏やかってお兄さん言ってたけど、檻の中入りゃあそんなん関係ない、酔います。
帰りの船の中、ブロンズヘアのイケメンが目の前でずっと吐きょうた。まあまあの速度で船動いとるからゲロが真横に吹き飛んでた。吐いててもイケメンはイケメン。
ワイキキのホテルからノースショアまでが遠すぎて、足はちゃんと調べた方が良い。みんなレンタカーで来てたっぽい。自分たちはバス乗り継いで行ったけど、辿り着けるかが1番不安だった。
総じて大満足！サメと泳げることとか多分これからの人生でないと思うから、迷ってるならやるべき。イケメンの青い顔が見れます。

The hamburger with grilled meat that they made on the ship was delicious. The lady's conversation was enjoyable, and perhaps because the weather was nice, the ship didn't sway at all, so I didn't feel seasick. The sea was incredibly beautiful; there's no way it wouldn't look great in photos, all of them turned out amazing. I even got to see a sea turtle, so I was very satisfied.

船上で焼いて貰える肉が挟まったハンバーガーが美味しかった。
お姉さんの喋りも楽しく、気候が良かったのか全く船も揺れず、船酔いもありませんでした。
海も綺麗過ぎる、映えないわけがない、写真が全部神。
ウミガメにも会えたし大満足です。

Wonderful time with the family and the staffs and both singers were main reason why we would love to visit Hawaii again. Aloha and until next time.

Even with last-minute reservations, you can feel secure as they confirm everything properly via email and phone. I was a bit anxious about the reception location since there was no sign (as mentioned in the reservation confirmation), but following the map sent with the confirmation helped me find it.

It mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, but I ended up waiting with nothing to do until the start time, so the purpose of the early arrival was unclear.

The snorkeling experience starts with the instructor properly explaining how to handle the equipment, which is reassuring for beginners. I recommend it for those who want to safely try it out nearby. The water wasn't very clear, though.

直前予約でも、メールと電話できちんと確認されるので安心です。
当日の受付場所は、案内版がなくて（ないと予約確認書に書いてあります）不安でしたが、予約確認書に送られてくる地図に従うとたどり着くことができます。
開始30分前に来るようにと書いてあったのですが、何もすることなく開始時間まで待たされて、30分前集合の意図が不明でした。

シュノーケルは、インストラクターがきちんと器具の扱いを含めて説明をしてくれてから始まるので、初心者には安心です。
近場で安全に、とりあえず試してみたいという方にお勧めします。
海は、あまりクリアではありませんでした。

Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.

We went with a group of good friends. We had such a good time. The waves were perfect. Will go again when we are in Oahu.
