All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

The children participated. My youngest daughter, who is 8 years old, later said it was an event to take pictures with dolphins. It certainly seemed like a photo session; they did swim with the dolphins, but after swimming about 5 meters just for the sake of taking pictures, it was over. It felt more like an event just to press the shutter...

However, the photos turned out very well and became a great keepsake.

子供たちが参加しました
一番下の8歳の娘がイルカと写真とるイベントだったと
のちに言っていて
確かに写真撮影会のようで
イルカと泳いではいるけれど
写真を撮るためだけで5メートルほど泳いだら終わりでしたし
シャッターを切るためのイベントだったような、、、

でも写真はとても良くとれていていい記念になりました

I participated in the sandbar turtle watching and snorkeling tour. The turtle watching was fun as we saw many turtles popping their heads up from the boat. We swam in a line for snorkeling, and it seems that the group that swam ahead saw a lot of fish, but we followed behind and it seemed that the fish escaped because of our snorkeling fins, so we couldn't find any...

The snacks were delicious.

サンドバーのウミガメウォッチングとシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました
ウミガメウォッチングは船の上から何匹もあちこちから顔をだして楽しかったです
シュノーケリングが列になって泳ぐのですが
最初に泳いでた仲間はたくさん魚がみられてよかったみたいですが
そのあとに続いた私たちはシュノーケリングのフィンで魚が逃げたらしく
一匹も見つけられず、、、

軽食はおいしかったです

My husband and I parasailed once before but for my 21-yr-old daughter, this was her first time. We all had a blast. Our crew made everyone feel at ease and made the experience even more fun with their enthusiasm. Would recommend to everyone looking for a great adventure.

It was my first experience with a 150m parasailing, and although I was anxious, it felt amazing and the view was fantastic. Diamond Head was even more impressive from above than from the ground.

150mパラセイルにはじめての体験でしたが、不安だったですが、とても気持ち良く景色も最高で、地上からよりもダイアモンドヘッドが感動的でした。

We participated as a family of four: a couple in their early 30s and their parents in their late 50s and 60s. The shop is located on the Diamond Head side, within walking distance from the main hotels in Waikiki, but since we weren't sure about the distance until we actually went to Waikiki, we opted for the shuttle service. We rented rash guards and aqua shoes at the shop. It was a group lesson, but during our time slot, there were only five of us: our family and one other Korean woman in her 30s, with two staff members assisting us. We learned how to ride the waves while watching a video in the shop. After that, we moved to the beach and practiced the motions of riding the waves on the sand multiple times together. Then it was time to hit the ocean! Paddling was really tough, but both my mother and I managed to get out. The waves in Waikiki in March were quite gentle, suitable for beginners. In the summer, the waves get bigger, so it's advised not to go too far out. Because the waves were calm, it seemed impossible to ride them without paddling strongly, and when the waves came, the staff would give us a push. That helped us catch the waves! My husband and I were able to stand on the board for about five times, quite long. My mother, in her late 50s, also tried to stand several times and fell off the board, but she managed to stand for two longer periods and seemed to have a lot of fun! I wore contact lenses, and there were no issues at all. About ten years ago, I tried surfing a little at Kujukuri in Chiba, and I felt it was very painful to fall into the sea there because it was so beautiful, but here, it was not painful at all. The two staff members who accompanied us were very friendly. Once you can stand, it really feels refreshing!

30代前半の夫婦、とその両親(50代後半、60代)の家族4人で参加しました。ショップはワイキキの主要ホテルよりもダイヤモンドヘッド側で、徒歩圏内なのですが、実際にワイキキに行ってみるまで距離感覚がわからなかったため、送迎ありで利用しました。ショップでラッシュガードとアクアシューズを借ります。グループレッスンだったのですが、私たちの時間帯は、私たち家族ともう一人30代の韓国人女性のみの計5人にスタッフの方が2人ついてくれました。ショップ内でビデオを見ながら、波の乗り方を学びます。その後、ビーチへ移動し、砂浜でボードの上で実際に波に乗る動作を何回もみんなで反復します。そしていざ海へ！パドリングが本当にきつかった、、、ですが、私も母もなんとか沖へ。3月のワイキキの波はかなり穏やかで、「初心者向けの波」のようです。夏になるともっと波が大きくなるため、あまり沖には出ないようです。波が穏やかなため、自力で波に乗るには、かなり強くパドリングしないと無理なようで、波がくるとスタッフの方が押してくれます。それで波に乗れます！私たち夫婦は5回くらい、かなり長くボードの上に立つことができました。50代後半の母も何回か立てそうになりながらもボードから落ちていましたが、2回長く立つことができ、とても楽しかったようです！コンタクト装着していますが、全然問題ありませんでした。10年ほど前、千葉の九十九里で少しだけサーフィンをしてみたことがあるのですが、海がとても綺麗なので(?)、九十九里の時はボードから海に落ちるととても苦しいと感じたのですが笑、全く苦しくなかったです。同行してくれたスタッフ2人の方々はとてもフレンドリーでした。立つことができると、本当に気分爽快です！

I participated with my husband on our honeymoon. After getting on the pickup car at the hotel, we took a small boat at the dock. It was quite fast, and it was thrilling and fun. Once we went a bit offshore, we finally started parasailing! The weather was very nice that day, and although I was scared at first, I was moved by the beautiful scenery we could see! I was very satisfied and truly glad we participated.

ハネムーンで夫と二人で参加しました。
ホテルにてピックアップの車に乗ったあと、船着き場にて小型ボートに乗ります。
結構なスピードでこれもスリル満点で楽しかったです。
少し沖に行った辺りでいよいよパラセーリング開始です！
この日は天候がとても良く、最初は怖かったものの、とても美しい景色を見ることができて感動しました！
とても大満足で、本当に参加してよかったです。

Absolutely recommended!
In the end, I was able to let go and even do a handstand!
Even a 47-year-old woman like me could do it!
There was also a 74-year-old grandmother from England on the same team.
The staff were kind and fun, and they even assisted the grandmother.

絶対おすすめ！
最後は手を離して逆立ちまでできました！
47歳のおばさんでもできました！
74歳のイギリスからのおばあちゃんも同じチームにいました。
スタッフがおばあちゃんも補助してくれたり、優しい楽しいスタッフでした。

I had a great time. I was a bit anxious due to the lack of detailed explanations regarding safety, but once I experienced it, the scenery was beautiful, and I enjoyed it. If I had to mention something, during the latter part of the parasailing, some groups touched the seawater upon landing, so it's best to prepare for the cold. Also, it's advisable to use the restroom beforehand.

十二分に楽しめました。安全に関する部分の細かい説明が少なかったので少し不安でしたがいざ体験してみると景色も良くて良かったです。強いて言うならパラセーリング中の後半、着陸時にグループによっては海の中の海水に触れているグループがあったので寒さ対策はしっかりしておいた方が良いのとトイレは事前に済ましておいた方がいいです。

I was able to enjoy the grandeur of both the sea and the mountains, as well as experience the world of Jurassic Park, which is a delight for movie lovers.

海、山の雄大さを同時に味わえるうえ、映画好きにはたまらないジュラシックパークの世界を味わうことができました。

Professional and friendly customer service and crew. Amazing experience and terrific option for anyone that wants to see life under the sea without having to do all the work of snorkeling or scuba diving. :)

First off, i thoroughly enjoy the zip line. It was fun, was farther in the land on the ranch than i have before, so i got to see more stuff.
However, is the aftermath. I duped into thinking the picture i paid for, will be mine. In fact that is false. The ranch puts their logo on all the pictures, on the front. As you can see from the picture i have attach, the one picture i wanted, and actually did something of pose for; i couldn't enjoy. Now when i purchased the pictures, THERE WAS NO LOGO!!! Otherwise i would have mentioned it to them. Unbenounce to me, they took my money and i had to wait to find out about this. Once i expressed my concerns to the place on the telephone, i am talking to a person that company has given empowerment to make decisions for the company. In this case, its my fault i didn't pay attention to what was not shown or told to me. Yes that is right, i am the in the wrong. I bluntly stated, that this is one picture out of all of them that i wanted, because i did a pose and went by myself; because the other times i had to be paired up. I was in the wrong for going by myself. Now the staff that was there doing the zip line were awesome, and i had great time. I am talking about the aftermath, AFTER THEY TOOK MY MONEY!
Needless to say, i lose, they win. I don't get the picture i want, and i have to pay for it! What a great business!!
Unfortunately this will be the last time i will be going to Kualoa Ranch for anything, after this instance, how can i trust a company of their own wrong doings and still having to pay for it? Like i said, it is NOT there when you preview the pictures. It would have been obvious, and i would have known at that time on how it looks and guess what KUALOA? I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THEM!! Instead, you deceived me into thinking i am getting pictures of my good, with the lack of additional information attach onto the picture itself.
First time i was there, i misled about their ATV tour, no different than a shuttle!

This parasailing experience was my second time as a repeat visitor. Last time, I had so much fun and felt a thrill and refreshment that I wanted to try it again when I visited Hawaii. This time, perhaps because there were two fewer groups than last time, it felt like we were able to fly for a longer time. Also, since there wasn't much wind last time, I was desperately clinging to the railing to avoid falling while the yacht was flying quite a bit, but this time, the wind was just right, and I was able to ride calmly on the yacht, which was comfortable. The crew was also very fun and lively, making for a truly enjoyable time. The shuttle driver was very nice this time as well, engaging in fun conversation and even treating us to drinks on the way back. For my third time, I will try the 150 meters.

このパラセーリングは、リピーターで二度目です。
前回、とても楽しくスリルと爽快感を味わえたので、ハワイに行くならまたトライしたいと思っていました。
今回は、前回より二組分少なかったせいか、長い時間飛ぶことができたように思います。
また、前回は風があまりなかったため、ヨットをかなり飛ばしていたので、落ちないように手すりにしがみつき必死でしたが、今回は風もほどよくあったのか、ヨットでも落ち着いて乗っていることができ、快適でした。
クルーの方も、とても楽しく盛り上げてくださったので、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
送迎の方も今回はとても良い方で、楽しくお話をして盛り上げてくれ、帰りにはドリンクまでごちそうしてくれました。
三回目は、150ｍをトライさせていただきます。

I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking the hotels and beaches of Waikiki, as well as Diamond Head.

Since it had rained earlier, there was a rainbow, and I was lucky enough to see a whale spouting water, making for a fulfilling time.

ワイキキのホテルやビーチ、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望でき綺麗な夕日を楽しむことができました。

雨が降った後だったので虹が出ていたり
運良くクジラの潮吹きも見れたりと充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

I think there are various activities that keep things interesting. The staff was friendly, and it was a fun day. I definitely recommend it!

いろんなアクティビティがあり飽きないと思います
スタッフも親切でたのしい一日でした
ぜひおすすめします

I couldn't understand Japanese, and all the explanations were in English. I was helped by a Japanese woman named Chiyo, who explained everything politely, but it might be boring for those who don't understand English.

It seems that gel nails are not allowed for the swimming course, and there are no gloves available for rent. I was told to tear them off with pliers. I was surprised!

You can get one photo, but you can't choose your favorite one. There's a possibility that you'll end up with a photo where you look unattractive. Well, it's free, so I guess it can't be helped.

The activity itself only involves swimming about 20 meters twice, so I felt a bit unsatisfied because I thought I would be able to swim a lot based on the photos. I thought $200 was expensive for this, but the dolphins were cute and amazing!

日本語通じなくて、説明も全て英語。
チヨさんという日本の女性が丁寧に説明していただいて助かりましたが、英語わからない人にはつまらないかも？
一緒に泳ぐコースはジェルネイル不可でグローブも貸出無しだそうです。ペンチでちぎりとれと言われました。びっくり！
写真1枚もらえるけど好きな写真は選べません。
不細工に映った写真をもらうことになる可能性もあります。まぁ無料だから仕方ないですが。
アクティビティ自体も20mくらいを2度泳ぐのみなので写真を見てたくさん泳げると思っていたので、物足りなく感じました！これで$200は高いと思いましたがイルカは可愛くて最高でした。

The horseback riding course was scheduled for 12:15 PM, but the pickup was at 7:05 AM. I was a bit confused about arriving at the ranch so early, but thanks to the quick thinking of a staff member who spoke Japanese, I was able to sign up for a bus tour of the ranch without wasting any time. The bus guide provided information in Japanese, so I was fine without any explanations from the instructor during the horseback riding, but I think it would have been nice to have at least a little guidance. The horses were really smart, remembering the course without any prompts, and they followed the instructor's whistle perfectly. The magnificent scenery was wonderful.

12時15分からの乗馬2時間コースでしたが、ピックアップは7時05分。
早すぎる牧場への到着でどうしようかと戸惑っていましたら、日本語を話せるスタッフさんの機転で急遽バスで牧場内を見学できるアクティビティの受付を案内して下さったので無駄な時間を過ごすことなくすみました。
バスのガイドさんが日本語で案内して下さったので、その後の乗馬でのインストラクターの説明がなくても大丈夫でしたが、ちょっとくらいは案内があってもいいと思います。
誘導もなくコースを覚えきっていて、たまにインストラクターさんの口笛できちんと進んでいくお馬さんは本当にお利口でした。
雄大な景色は素晴らしかったです。

I had a fear of heights, but I decided to challenge myself!
It wasn't scary at all!
The ocean was beautiful, and the view was amazing!
I would love to do it again if I have the chance!
I just want to be careful about seasickness!

高所恐怖症でしたが、挑戦してみました！
全然怖くなかったです！
とにかく海が綺麗で、景色が最高でした！
また機会があればやりたいです！
ただ船酔いは、気をつけたいです！

My husband and I participated in a 150-meter parasailing experience. It was my second time parasailing, but the last time I did it at another place, it was only about 60 meters, so I thought I’d challenge myself and go for the highest one!

There was only one other couple, a Japanese couple, besides us, so the announcements regarding safety precautions were made in Japanese.

The weather was a bit bad that day, with light rain and wind, which made it quite shaky when we were up in the air, and it was a little scary, but the view was amazing and felt great!

Last time, there were many participants, and we came down quickly once we reached the top, but this time, since there were only two couples, we were able to stay up for a much longer time!

When we came down, our feet just touched the water, but it was a bit cold.

主人と二人で150メートルのパラセイルに参加しました。パラセイルは2回目でしたが、前回は他のとこで確か60メートルくらいのやつだったので、せっかくなら、と一番高いやつに挑戦しました！
参加者は、私たちの他にもう一組日本人のカップルだけだったので、注意事項などのアナウンスは日本語が流れていました。
この日は少し天気が悪く、小雨と風で上空にいるときは、なかなかの揺れで少し怖かったけど、とてもいい眺めで気持ちよかったです！
前回は参加者が多くトップまでいったらすぐ降りてきてたのですが、今回は二組だけだったせいか、とても長い時間飛ばしてもらえました！
降りてきてくるときに足だけ海にポチャンと着水してもらいましたが、少し寒かったです。

We were able to enter before the usual opening time and touch the dolphins. It was a bit cold for the season, and the kids were shivering a little in the pool first thing in the morning, but it seems they really enjoyed touching the dolphins. Additionally, there were plenty of interactions, such as touching turtles, feeding fish, and feeding birds, which made for a fun experience.

通常の開園前に入場して、イルカタッチできました。
時期的に少し寒く、朝一番のプールで子供たちは少し震えてしまっていましたが、イルカタッチ自体はとても楽しかったようです。
そのほかにも亀にタッチできたり、魚に餌をあげたり、鳥に餌をあげたりとふれあいが盛りだくさんで、楽しんでいました。

I participated with my girlfriend as a graduation trip. The food was delicious, and the pineapple, in particular, was exquisite. We took photos before boarding, and I was very satisfied with the service that offered data for around 1000 yen during the cruise! When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.

卒業旅行として彼女と参加しました。
料理も美味しく、特にパイナップルは絶品でした
乗船前に写真を撮り、その後クルーズ中に1000円前後でデータをプレゼントというサービスも大変満足しました！
またハワイに訪れたときは、是非とも参加したいと思います。

I made a mistake with the meeting place, but they came to pick me up from the wrong location. It was really helpful. Thank you very much. The tour afterwards was also a lot of fun. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and I was completely full!

集合場所を間違えてしまったのですが、間違えてしまったところまで迎えに来てくれました。本当に助かりました。ありがとうございました。その後のツアーもとても楽しかったです。お昼のハンバーガーも美味しくてお腹一杯になりました！

I would recommend this tour!
Amazing views, great experience!
Very nice & knowledgable crew!
Good food, nice selection of drinks.
A must for Hawaii

It was really cold!!
But it was so much fun that I didn't care about that at all!
The sandbar was beautiful, and it was my first time snorkeling, but I had a great time!
I saw a lot of coral and sea turtles, and I even fed some fish; it was a valuable experience!

The BBQ lunch was delicious and the best!
I want to go again!

すごく寒かった！！
でも、そんなことどうでもよくなるぐらい楽しかった！
サンドバーは綺麗で、シュノーケリングも初めてだったけど楽しくできた！
珊瑚やウミガメもたくさん見れたし、魚に餌もあげたり、貴重な体験がたくさんできた！

お昼のBBQランチも美味しくて最高でした！
また行きたい！

This is my second time participating.
There is no Japanese at all, but that makes it fun.
I can somewhat understand the explanations, but that level of understanding is enough to enjoy it.
The staff are all fun people, and I want to participate again.
Also, the staff's speed in remembering participants' names is impressive.

2度目の参加です。
日本語は一切ないですが、それが楽しいです。
説明も何となく分かりますが、何となくで十分楽しいです。
スタッフも楽しい方ばかりでまた、参加したいです。
あと、スタッフの方の参加者の名前を覚える速度は速いです。

I participated in the morning session and chose the 90m option. There were three groups, including us, totaling seven people. The "m" likely refers to the length of the rope, and at 90m, it felt like there was no slack in the rope, making it rise quite high. The 150m option seemed to have a bit of slack, so it didn't look like it was going as high. If it's your first time, I think the 90m option is sufficient since the price is also lower.

It would be nice to have a waterproof phone case that you can hang around your neck to take photos from above. I'm worried about dropping a selfie stick. I wasn't sure about the tipping standard, so I gave $20 each to the two instructors, but it seems that wasn't necessary. They took about 112 photos for us. You can decide whether to purchase them after looking at the photos.

朝イチの参加で90mにしました。
私達を含め３組7人でした。
mは恐らく紐の長さなので、90mだと紐のたるむ部分がなくてかなり上まで上がっている気がしました。150mの方は紐が少したるんでそんなに高く上がっているようには見えませんでした。
初めてなら料金も安いし90mで十分だと思います。
首から下げれる防水のスマホケースがあれば上からも写真が撮れていいと思います。自撮り棒は落としそうで怖いです。
チップは相場がわからず、インストラクターの方2人に1人20ドルずつ渡しましたが、そんなに渡さなくて良かったみたいです
写真は112枚ほどとってくれていました。
一応写真を見てから購入するかを決めれます。

I participated with my one-and-a-half-year-old child.
We clapped our hands in joy, so it was a really great experience!
My child was hesitant to touch the dolphins, but we had fun.
It seems there were two people who could speak Japanese; one of them explained things right after we entered, and their Japanese was fluent.
When we interacted with the dolphins, the person explaining was a bit hesitant in their speech, but I understood most of what they wanted to say!
It's small, so you can look around quickly.
The dolphin show was also great.

1歳半の子供と参加しました。
手を叩いて喜んでいたので
とてもいい経験が出来ました！
イルカに触るのは嫌がりましたが楽しかったです。
日本語喋れる人が2人居るみたいで
1人は、入園してすぐ説明してくれて
カタコトじゃなかったです。
イルカと触れ合う時、説明してる人がカタコトだったんですけど、大体言いたいことはわかりました！
狭いのであっという間に見て回れます。
イルカショーもよかったです。

We participated in the Mini Dolphin Encounter with my 6-year-old child and my husband. I was prepared for the English explanation after seeing other people's comments, but perhaps due to the rainy season and the chilly weather, there were only the three of us. At the reception, they asked if we preferred the explanation in English or Japanese, and to my pleasant surprise, we received the entire explanation in Japanese (there was a trainer who spoke Japanese). Thanks to the kind trainer, my child was initially scared but ended up enjoying it, and I was glad we participated. Even though I didn't join in, I was very satisfied because I could watch closely from the side of the lagoon!

6才の子供と主人二人でミニ・ドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。 他の方のコメントを見て英語の説明を覚悟してましたが 雨季で肌寒かったせいか参加は二人だけ。 受付で説明は英語と日本語どちらがいいですか？と聞かれ、嬉しい誤算で終始日本語の説明受けられました。(日本語話せるトレーナーいました) 子供も優しいトレーナーのおかげで初めは怖がってましたが最後は楽しんでる姿見て参加して良かったです。 参加しなかった私もラグーン脇から間近で見る事が出来たので大満足です！

Seeing the sandbar was absolutely breathtaking!! The weather was perfect. We also went snorkeling after and saw so many turtles swimming in the water. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! The staff were all very nice and helpful and pick up was on time.

The moment I entered the sea, I encountered a sea turtle! After that, I was lucky enough to see dolphins from the boat! The staff were very kind and made me feel comfortable participating in the tour! ❤︎ I definitely want to use this service again.

海に入った瞬間ウミガメに会えました！
そのあと船からイルカも運良く見ることができました！
スタッフの方もとても優しく接してくれたため安心してツアーに参加できました！❤︎
また是非利用したいと思います。

The pickup was on time! There was a child who got a bit drunk, but the kind brother took good care of him! The explanations were easy to understand, and he made it fun and exciting, so I would like to participate again!

お迎えも時間通り！
酔った子がいたのですが、ちゃんと見てくれてすごく優しいお兄さんでした！
説明もわかりやすく、楽しく盛り上げてくれたのでまた参加したいと思いました！
