All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.

I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!

After an hour on a tour bus from Honolulu, we set sail from the west coast of Oahu on a cruiser. We spotted dolphins about 30 minutes in. After a brief snorkeling explanation on the cruiser, as soon as we found the dolphin pod, we jumped in from the cruiser. The dolphins were clearly visible from the cruiser, but through the snorkel, we could only faintly see them in the distance.

However, after moving the cruiser to shallower waters, we encountered sea turtles. Swimming with them was amazing. We could also swim with tropical fish.

I am truly grateful to the Japanese camera operator who provided various explanations. The photos taken were great snaps and became wonderful memories.

ホノルルからツアーバスで1時間、オアフ島の西海岸からクルーザーで出航。30分くらいでイルカを発見。クルーザー内でスノーケリングの簡単な説明を受けた後、イルカ群を発見するや否や、クルーザーからジャンプ・飛び込み。イルカはクルーザーからはよく見えましたが、スノーケルでは、遠くにかすかに見えただけでした。
しかし、その後、クルーザーで浅瀬に移動したあとは、ウミガメに遭遇。一緒に泳げ最高でした。熱帯魚とも一緒に泳げます。
日本人カメラ担当の方には、いろいろと説明して頂き、本当に感謝です。撮って頂いた写真もグッドスナップで、すごくいい思い出になりました。

It was a wonderful experience, just like the images suggest, or even better. The course is based on an English guide, but the female guide was very energetic and cute, and she warmly engaged with everyone, regardless of whether they were Japanese or not. If you're at the back of the line, it might be a bit hard to hear her, but she explains things as you go along.

The views of the mountains and sea, which you can't see in Japan, made the two hours fly by. I was really surprised at how smart the horses were. I had a strap around my neck for my smartphone, so I didn't have to worry about dropping it while taking plenty of photos. Photos are allowed, but videos are not. If you're going, I highly recommend the two-hour course.

イメージ写真の通りか、それ以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
英語ガイド前提のコースですが、ガイドの女性はとても元気で可愛くて、日本人、日本人以外にかかわらず明るく声を掛けてくれます。列の後ろの方だと少し声が届きづらいかもしれませんが、ポイントごとに説明をしながら進みます。
日本では見ることのできない山や海の景色であっという間の2時間。とにかく馬が賢くて驚きました。スマホは首からかけられるストラップを付けていたので、途中馬から落とす心配がなく思う存分写真が撮れました。写真OK、動画NGです。せっかく行くなら2時間コースがおすすめです。

We ended up adding a tour as we had so much fun! Really lovely ranch.

Awesome day on the Sandbar!!! They literally provide you with TONS to do. Better than guided tours!

Really pretty to see the sunset sky, and to enjoy an evening in Waikiki

I was so scared I woud chcken out but what an experience!

Great Evening with a large community! The show was a blast

Fun evening, good singer very talented. Worth it to have an evening on the beautiful Hawaii waters!

Great to see the nature of Oahu, and learn from the guide

My family had a blast, the kids got to get involved which was great

The premium seating was awesome for the value. Food is excellent, show was amazng.

Be prepared to hike a bit from line to line, but it is such a blast!

The voucher mentioned that water would be provided, so I thought it would be cumbersome to carry water while climbing the mountain and decided not to bring any. However, water was only available during lunch, and there were no places to purchase it. At first, I reluctantly started walking towards the waterfall, but it was very humid, and the incline was steeper than I had imagined, making it a tough journey. I took a short break along the way, and realizing that continuing without hydration would be a burden to others, I decided it was best to turn back. It seems that those who participated through HIS were informed in detail to bring their own water since it would only be provided at lunchtime. I believe it's necessary to include such detailed information for future participants. It was very disappointing as this was my husband's retirement trip, and it had been three years since our last visit to Hawaii.

バウチャーに水がいただけると書いてあったので、山に登るのに荷物になると思い水は持参しませんでした。しかし水をいただけるのは昼食の時で購入する場所も一切なくで、最初は仕方なく滝に向けて歩き始めましたがとても蒸暑く想像していたより傾斜がありハードな道のりでした。途中少し休憩をしたので水分補給なしでこのまま最後まで歩くのはかえって他の方に迷惑かかると思い無理と判断して引き返しました。HISから参加した方は細かく水は昼食時に渡すので持参してくださいと記載があったようでした。今後参加する方の為にも細かい記載は必要だと思いました。主人の定年退職記念旅行で３年ぶりのハワイだったので非常に残念でした。

This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!

I arrived an hour early, but I was able to join the previous group! We went parasailing right after getting on the boat. I didn't understand everything in English, but it seems like you can have photos taken and buy them later. When I participated, there were two groups of Japanese people and two groups of foreigners. Everyone was really friendly, and it was a lot of fun!

1時間前に到着してしまいましたが、1つ前のグループに参加させてもらえることができました！
船ですこし出たところですぐにパラセーリングでした。英語でわからなかったのですが、写真を撮ってもらって後から写真を買うこともできるみたいです。私が参加した時は日本人2組と、外国の方が2組でした。皆さんノリが良く、楽しかったです！

I was very healed by horseback riding while enjoying the great nature of Kualoa Ranch! The instructor guided us while explaining the history of Kualoa Ranch. The instructor was very attentive, checking occasionally if the length of the stirrups was okay, asking how I was feeling, and if I was tired! They also took photos for us! It was a 2-hour course, but it felt very long and was a satisfying tour!

クアロアランチの大自然を眺めながらの乗馬でとても癒されました！
インストラクターの方が、クアロアランチの歴史について説明しながら案内してくれました。インストラクターの方が、ときどき鎧の長さが大丈夫か確認してくださったり、気分はどうか、疲れてないか聞いてくださったりと丁寧な対応でした！写真も撮っていただけます！
2時間コースですが、とても長く感じる満足なツアーでした！

Would recommend to everyone. Crew was very polite and friendly had a blast.

Thank you everyone.

We had such a great time with KBOS. All the crew are amazing, we love the fact that the captains were women. Had live music from extremely talented singers and they were so nice and caring. The lifeguard even saved my friend from getting stung by a Portuguese man of war!
The team deserves to go to Las Vegas for their Christmas party hint hint For the boss LOL.
Mahalo for the best time❤️❤️

One of the most memorable things we have ever experienced. I genuinely felt like family! We will recommend this to everyone we know!

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide

Our experience was amazing!!
The staff was super nice and knowledgeable about sharks.
Thank you, Andy, Erin, and the captain so much for an unforgettable experience.

It was amazing. As soon as we boarded, we received lunch, and they wrapped it for those who planned to eat later. It was almost my first time snorkeling, but they provided thorough explanations, and when I looked into the sea, there were so many fish, I was very satisfied. It was definitely a good idea to bring marine shoes; they are a must. For other activities, we didn't have to wait in line; we did them as they became available. If you plan to use the snorkeling mask again later, keep it at your seat on the boat. There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms, which I used several times. It was helpful because I started to feel cold while in the water and needed to go to the restroom. The restrooms were quite clean. After playing for an hour and a half with breaks in between, it was enough, and we went back to the boat to change and enjoy lunch leisurely. I dislike shuttle buses, so I used Uber for both trips. It cost about $50 to $60 one way from Waikiki. The staff spoke a little Japanese, but all the safety instructions were in English, so I thought it would have been better if there was something written in Japanese for Japanese guests. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.

最高でした。乗船してすぐランチを受け取るのですが、後で食べるつもりの人にはラップしてくれます。スノーケリングはほぼ初めてでしたが、説明をしっかりしてくれて、海の中をのぞくともう沢山の魚がいて大満足。マリンシューズは持って行って正解。持参必須です。他のアクティビティも順番を待つという感じではなく、空いているものからやりました。スノーケリングマスクは、後でまた使う場合は船の自分の座席に置いておく。トイレは男用1つ、女性用2つあり、何回か利用。海に入っていると寒くなってトイレに行きたくなるので助かりました。充分キレイなお手洗いでした。途中休憩しながら１時間半も遊んだらもう充分で、船に上がって着替えてゆっくりランチを食べました。送迎車が嫌いなので往復ともUberTAXIを利用。片道ワイキキから50〜60ドル。スタッフは少し日本語もできましたが、注意事項の説明とかは全部英語だったので、日本人向けに日本語で書いたものでもあったらもっと良かったと思いました。今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

This tour was amazing! My husband and I had such a blast. The whole crew was super friendly and helpful. All the water sports activities that were available was a huge plus. The floating lounge was so cool. The live music was such a vibe, those musicians were top notch. Wouldn’t change a thing. Worth every penny. Mahalo!

I enjoyed seeing Jupiter, Mars , Saturn and various stars through a powerful telescope. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable pointing out lots of constellations that are visible to the naked eye. The sky was very clear, so we were able to see a lot.

The guides were great the views are awesome! Guides help you through everything and make the tour even better

Jess, Emma & horses were ALL AWESOME! Gentle, beautiful horses, great guides, beautiful location.helped make my MAW Kid’s trip a HUGE success!

Great experience! We also used the shuttle service and we’re able to look and enjoy the scenic drive while the driver told us about the areas we passed.

The weather was great and I had an amazing time. The friendliness of the crew was very pleasant. I would like to use this service again next time.

お天気も良く最高に楽しかったです。クルーの皆さんのフレンドリーさが心地よい。次回も利用したいと思います。

The tour was a small group of four people, my wife and I along with another Japanese couple, and our guide. It was my first experience riding a horse, and at first, I was scared and anxious until I got used to it. But after about 30 minutes, it became fun, and the horse was so well-behaved that I felt safe riding! The magnificent views of Kualoa and the ocean were breathtaking, and the breeze was pleasant. I highly recommend it over a bus tour!!! The only downside was that, since there were only Japanese people, there was no announcement about this area being a filming location for Jurassic Park... I wish there had been some explanation in English...

私達夫婦ともう1組の日本人夫婦の4人とガイドさんの少人数でのツアーでした。
乗馬初体験で最初は怖くて、慣れるまで不安でしたが30分も経つと楽しくなって、馬もお利口なので安心して乗れました！
クアロアの壮大な絶景と海が見えて
風が心地よいし、バスツアーよりもオススメです！！！
残念だった点は、日本人しかいないせいか
このエリアがジュラシックパークの撮影地だったとかそういったアナウンスが一切なかったことです…
英語で良いから説明が欲しかった…
