All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

I was hoping to see more of the hula "Auwana" since I'm learning hula, but there were many Tahitian performances, and I felt it was an Americanized entertainment show. However, if you approach it with that mindset, you can enjoy it quite a bit.

フラを習っているので、｢アウアナ｣のフラをもう少し見られるかと期待していたのですが、タヒチアンが多く、アメリカナイズされたエンターテイメントショーだな、と思いました。そう思って臨めば、十分楽しめました。

I participated with my family, including a middle school student. We were able to fully enjoy the zip line in the great outdoors. As someone in my 40s, I was worried about my stamina, but it turned out to be fine (laughs). There were three instructors, and they were all kind and attentive.

One slight disappointment was that we couldn't eat fruits or anything along the way. I'm not sure if it was out of stock or sold out, as I couldn't understand the reason in English. However, there was a chance to hydrate.

Overall, from the transportation to the reception, everyone was very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much.

中学生を含む家族で参加しました。
大自然の中ジップラインを満喫することができました。40代の私は体力が心配だったのですが大丈夫でした（笑）。インストラクターが3名いらっしゃいましたが皆さん親切かつ丁寧に対応していただきました。
ちょっぴり残念だったのが途中にフルーツ等を食べることができなかったこと。品切れ？売り切れ？英語が分からず理由は不明ですが。でも水分補給はありました。
その他、送迎や受付等も含め全般を通して親切に対応していただきました。
ありがとうございました。

The instructors communicated in various ways, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience. They provided solid guidance, so everyone who participated felt supported. They took a lot of photos, and afterward, we reflected on the experience while laughing together at the shop. The photos could be purchased as digital files. The pineapple ice cream we tasted was delicious. Since it was shallow, it might be a bit lacking for experienced participants. In such cases, it might be better to opt for a semi-private or private session. Also, the coral can surprisingly cause cuts, so it's a good idea to have some band-aids on hand.

イントラの方は様々な方法でコミュニケーションを取ってくれるので、リラックスして臨めました。
しっかりガイドしてくれるので、参加した人みんな立てていましたよ。写真をいろいろ撮ってくれて、終わった後もショップで互いに笑いながら振り返っていました。写真はデータで買うことができました。
試食のパイナップルアイス美味しかったです。
浅瀬だったので経験者にとっては物足りないかもしれません。そういう場合はセミプライベートやプライベートで受けるといいかも。あと、サンゴが意外と傷を作るので絆創膏あった方がいいです。

I had a great time on the tour where I got to see whales, dolphins, and turtles that can only be observed in winter.

Since I was wearing a wetsuit, the water temperature wasn't as cold as I expected, but it was very chilly after getting out of the water...

On the bus ride there, despite it being early in the morning, the local guide and photographer was unusually high-energy and engaged with the participants. At first, I was a bit scared because I struggle with English, but he kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, and even now that the tour is over, we still talk about him and I ended up becoming a fan, haha.

I also appreciated that the other guides were very enthusiastic about making the tour enjoyable and ensuring everyone got to see dolphins.

The final hula dance with everyone was chaotic but fun, and it left a lasting memory.

冬季のみ観測できるというクジラ、イルカの群れと亀にも会えて大満足のツアーとなりました。

ウエットスーツを着ていたこともあり、水温は思った程冷たくありませんでしたが、水から上がった後はとても寒かったです…

行きのバスでは、早朝にも関わらず異様にテンション高く参加者に話しかけてくる現地のガイド兼カメラマンさんがいらっしゃり、英語が苦手なこともあって最初は少し怖かったのですが、船の上でも終始盛り上げてくれて、ツアーが終わった今でも、私達の中で話題に出てくる程、最終的にはその方のファンになっていました笑

他のガイドさん達も、このツアーを盛り上げたい、全員にイルカを見て帰ってもらいたいという意識がとても感じられて好感を持ちました。

全員で踊る最後のフラダンス（？）も、カオスでしたが楽しくて、とても思い出に残りました。

This time, I participated in the buggy ride for two hours. However, we mostly just drove around the ranch. I would have liked to stop a bit more at the movie filming locations for explanations. When I participated in the one-hour buggy ride eight months ago, the guide provided a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes information about the movies, and it was very enjoyable. I wonder if it depends on the guide. Since it was a course that started at 3 PM, perhaps they wanted to finish early. When we returned from the tour, there were hardly any people left, and the food court was closed, with the shops closing before I could even take a look.

今回は、バギー2時間に参加しました。ただ、ほほとんど、牧場内を走るだけでした。もう少し、映画の撮影現場に少し止まって説明が欲しかったです。
８か月前に1時間バギーに参加した時は色々、映画の裏事情の説明もしてくださりとても楽しかったです。担当のガイドさんで変わるのでしょうか？
3時からスタートのコースだったので、早く帰りたかったのでしょうか。
ツアーから帰って来たら、もうほとんど人はいなく、フードコートも閉まっていて、売店も見る間もなく閉まりました。

I really wanted to go to this place. At first, I was unsure whether to join the tour, but in the end, it was definitely the right decision. Thanks to the clear explanations about the highlights and recommended spots, I was able to make effective use of my time. I also appreciated the little tips about souvenirs. I absolutely recommend participating. The guide was fantastic.

ガイドさんが最高でした。

It was my first experience riding a horse, but they provided clear explanations in English. To the left, there was a beautiful sea and sandy beach, and to the right, I could see mountains and greenery colored orange by the sunset, creating a truly wonderful view. There were also photo spots, and the guide took pictures for us and adjusted the speed, making it completely fine for beginners! It was a relaxing and meaningful time!

乗馬は初めての体験でしたが、しっかり説明(英語)をしてくれました。左を見ると綺麗な海と砂浜があり、右を見ると夕日によってオレンジに色づいた山や緑があり、とても素敵な景色が見れました。フォトスポットもありガイドの方が撮ってくれたり速度も調節してくれたりと乗馬初心者でも全然大丈夫でした！！
心も休まり有意義なひと時でした！！！！

I woke up early and participated. While moving on the boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and I hurriedly took pictures with my smartphone. Then, with the guide's shout, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked down as instructed, I saw more than 20 dolphins swimming together. It was amazing! After that, we challenged the slide and enjoyed swimming. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I wasn't scared. However, my husband got seasick, which made me a bit lonely. There were also a few others who were feeling unwell. I took two motion sickness pills before going, but while swimming, the waves made me feel a bit nauseous. The taro cheese burger for lunch was delicious! Thank you very much!

朝早く起きて参加してきました。船で移動中にも何度かイルカの群れに遭遇し、慌ててスマホで撮影＾＾そしてガイドさんの掛け声でみんな一斉に海の中へ！下を見て！！と言われ見てみると、20頭以上のイルカが群れになって泳いでました。感激でした！後は滑り台に挑戦したり、泳ぎを楽しんだり。私は泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、怖さはありませんでした。ただ、旦那さんが船酔いしてしまい、少し寂しかったです＾＾他にも何名か気分が悪くなっている方がいました。酔い止めを2錠飲んで行きましたが、泳いでいる際も波にゆらゆら揺れるので、船酔いというか、泳いでいるときに少し気持ち悪くなりました笑
ランチのタロイモのチーズバーガーが美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！！

I booked parasailing on New Year's Day in 2019.
My wife and I challenged ourselves to the highest height of 150 meters.
The view from above was breathtaking, with Ala Moana Beach, Waikiki Beach, the cityscape of Waikiki, and unobstructed Diamond Head.
It was a spectacular sight.
It was the best feeling to start the new year.
I highly recommend it.

2019年の元旦にパラセーリングを予約しました。
妻と2人で、一番高い高さ150mに挑戦しました。
上空からのアラモアナビーチからワイキキビーチ、ワイキキの街並み、障害物なしのダイヤモンドヘッド。
絶景です。
新年早々最高の気分でした。
絶対おすすめです。

I was worried about the rain in North Shore based on my experience, but the weather was really nice. The lush green scenery was wonderful.

The ziplining was refreshing as it cut through the greenery, and I felt great doing it. I was satisfied with the eight lines.

Not only did I glide through the greenery, but the heights and lengths varied, allowing me to enjoy views of the fields while zipping along, so I never got bored. The suspension bridge and other athletic-like activities were also fun.

I was able to experience things like letting go of the harness, starting backward, and even going upside down, which I definitely wouldn't be allowed to do in Japan.

The staff, who couldn't speak Japanese, did their best to explain things in simple English. I was very satisfied.

One thing I noticed was that tips were required separately, but no one was giving tips. When my husband gave tips to the three staff members accompanying us, they were very surprised. I wonder if very few people, especially Japanese, give tips? If that's the case, it might be better to include tips in the price.

ノースショアは、私の経験では雨が多かったので心配していましたが、とてもいい天気でした。緑いっぱいの景色が素晴らしかったです。
ジップラインは、緑の中を突っ切る感じが爽快で、すごく気持ちよかったです。８本もできて、満足しました。
ただ緑の中を滑走するだけではなく、高さや長さが異なり、滑走しながら畑を眺めたり、飽きることはありませんでした。つり橋などアスレチックスみたいなものも面白かったです。
また、手を離したり、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さになったり、日本では絶対させてくれないようなことが体験できました。
日本語が話せないスタッフばかりでしたが、簡単な英語で一生懸命説明してくれました。
大満足です。
一つ気になったのは、チップが別途必要とのこたでしたが、誰もチップを渡していませんでした。主人が同行のスタッフ3人にチップを渡すととてもビックリしてました。チップを渡す人(特に日本人)はほとんどいないのではないでしょうか？それなら、チップ込みの値段設定にされた方がいいような気がします。

At the sandbar, I was able to practice snorkeling, which made it smooth to explore underwater afterward. I was able to see two sea turtles in addition to the fish.

サンドバーのところで、シュノーケルの練習ができたので、そのあとのシュノーケルを使っての海中散策がスムーズにでき、魚のほかにウミガメを２匹も見ることができた

Passport to Pearl Harbor is the perfect way to see the historic place. It was a great experience to see inside of USS Bowfin, Mighty Mo & the Aviation museum. However, we were not able to go to the Arizona memorial because they were doing repairs. The boat just took us around there then the speaker’s microphone stopped working so we didn’t hear anything he said.

This time, at 48 years old, I tried surfing for the first time in my life. At first, I was only worried about whether I could do it, but once I tried, it was super fun. I think I'm going to get hooked! I made my debut as a dad surfer.

今回48歳にして人生初めてサーフィンしました。
初めは出来るかな？っていう不安しかありませんでしたが、やってみたらチョー楽しかったです。
はまりそうです！親父サーファーデビューとなりました。

We were very disappointed with this tour as it's nothing like the video on their ad. First of all the vessels are mechanically disabled so you don't get to operate them; instead you get pushed around by divers. Also the video shows several people in the water at the same time which is also not true. They only had 3 bubbles taking groups of 3 down at a time and when you have 25 people on the tour, you end up spending most of the day waiting around for them to finish. They did offer some fins and snorkels but there weren't nearly enough of them to accomodate everyone that were waiting. I wouldn't recommend this tour, you can find cheaper boat or snorkeling tours for a fraction of the coast. It was kind of like renting a bike where you're not allowed to use the pedals or the handles and someone just pushes you around instead.

I was very relieved to be picked up at the hotel on time, and it became a wonderful memory as we exchanged cameras with the other members of our group and took pictures of each other. The staff were also very enthusiastic! We did the 90m and were completely satisfied! When we arrived at the hotel with the families in our group, everyone smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" as we parted ways, and I felt fortunate to have such a great group. I also think I want to challenge myself to the 150m next time!

時間通りにホテルに迎えに来てもらえとても安心し、同じグループになった方々とカメラを交換しお互い取り合ったり係の方々もとてもテンションが高く最高の思い出になりました！私達は90mでしたが十分満足でした！同じグループになった家族の方々とホテルに着いた時には、お疲れ様でした〜とみんな笑顔で解散してグループにもめぐまれたなと思います！次は150mにも挑戦したいな！とも思います♪

We arrived early by rental car, and the journey was smooth, allowing us to arrive relatively quickly. The check-in process was handled by staff who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations. Since we arrived early, I inquired about other activities, but they were fully booked.

After watching the DVD several times, they selected horses based on each person's physique. The horses were well-trained and calm, and my 10-year-old daughter quickly got used to riding. We enjoyed the scenery while being grateful for the patient and strong horses with their big, round eyes. However, since the horses occasionally stumbled, it’s better to use both hands firmly.

Despite the cloudy weather and occasional light rain, there were muddy spots on the path that slowed the horses down, making the ride take over two hours, but it passed in no time and was very enjoyable. We went as a family of five, and I believe this will be a memorable page in our Hawaii experience. I was excited to be in a precious place that was only accessible to royalty, but the occasional sound of helicopters and four-wheeled buggies felt out of place, which was a bit disappointing.

On the way back in the afternoon, you can return via either Kahuku or Haleiwa, so I recommend taking your time and going by rental car.

早めにレンタカーで行きましたが、道中もスムーズで割と早く到着しました。
チェックインも日本語のできるスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれました。
早く到着したので他のアクティビティを聞いたのですが、予約で満杯。

DVDを何度も見たあとに、各々の体格に合わせて馬を選定してくれます。
馬がしっかり調教されていておとなしく、10歳の娘もすぐに慣れました。
つぶらな瞳ながら我慢強く力強い馬たちに感謝しながら景色を堪能しました。
しかし、馬もたまに躓くので、しっかり両手を使っていたほうが良いです。

曇天で時に小雨の降る中で、道がぬかるんでいる場所があり馬の歩みが遅く、
2時間以上かかりましたが、あっという間に過ぎ大変良かったです。
家族5人で行きましたが、ハワイの思い出に残る１ページになると思います。
王族しか入れなかった貴重な場所ということでテンションが上がりましたが
たまにヘリの音と四輪バギーは雰囲気に場違いなようでそこは残念でした。

帰りの午後はカフク、ハレイワ経由でもカイルア経由でも帰れますので、
やはり、時間に余裕をもってレンタカーで行くのがおすすめです。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and felt anxious even after signing up. However, there were no problems at all. The safety measures were excellent. Moreover, for the vertical rope climb, which I was most worried about, I could ask for help and received assistance. The log crossing, which I had previously fallen from in a Japanese athletic course, was also very safe. Even when it swayed, I was able to cross it with enjoyment. Above all, the zip line in the great outdoors was exhilarating! In the end, I even did a reverse hands-free ride, returning to my childhood and having a blast. I returned home fully satisfied, having enjoyed the sea, greenery, and blue sky.

体力に自信がなくて、申し込んだものの不安でした。しかし、全く問題ありませんでした。安全対策ばっちりでした。さらに一番不安だった、垂直のロープのぼり？も手伝いを頼めば、手伝っていただけます。日本のアスレチックで落ちた経験のある丸太渡り？もとっても安全。揺らされても楽しくわたれました。何よりジップラインは大自然の中、気分爽快！最後には、逆さ手放しまでして童心に返り、思う存分楽しむことができました。海・緑・青い空を満喫して帰ってきました。

Swimming with dolphins was refreshing and made me feel alive. The weather is just a matter of luck. The sea park was a bit lacking. The bird cage was the best part. The tour bus had the air conditioning set too cold, and it was chilly.

イルカと泳ぐのは新鮮で良かったと言うか命を感じました。
天気は運しかないですね。
シーパークは物足りないです。鳥のケージが一番良かったです。
ツアーのバスは冷房が利きすぎて寒かったです。

It was my first experience, and it felt absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to those who are not sick. The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean made me feel like a bird—it's an exaggeration, but it felt like flying in the sky.

初めての試みでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。病気がない方には是非オススメです。ワイキキビーチが海から眺められて鳥になった気分とは大げさですが空を飛ぶ感じです。

It was good my friends and I really enjoyed it. The view was breathtaking & the crew on board were so friendly and helpful. I am a picky eater so the food was alright to me however my friends really enjoyed it. If prone to seasickness, I recommend you take medication before getting onto the boat.

I went on this cruise with my friends as we all met in Hawaii for a little vacation. This dinner cruise was wonderful. We got to see the sunset and the food was delicious however we were just happy to be surrounded by great company and the view. If driving out keep in mind the traffic as it will get busy.

The sandbar had a beautiful view that I had never seen before. I was able to see sea turtles, and the drink service on the boat was great.

サンドバーは今まで見たことのない景色でとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも見ることができ、船内のドリンクサービスも良かったです。

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.

もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.

In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.

On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.

天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。

実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。

I participated in the four-wheeler buggy and zip line experience. Before the zip line, I had a very scary impression and was worried about whether I could do it, but the staff were very kind in helping me put on the harness and provided great support, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy it! My husband really enjoyed the buggy ride, but there was more sand dust than I expected, so I think it would be better for women to have something to cover their hair. Also, I would have liked a Japanese guide just for the important things to pay attention to. Above all, the most thrilling part was the transportation driving.

四輪バギー&ジップラインに参加しました。
ジップラインは体験前とても怖い印象で、やれるか不安でしたが、スタッフがとても丁寧に危惧を装着してくれてり、やりやすくフォローしてくれたりととても安心して楽しめました！
バギーは主人がとても楽しんでいましたが、思ったより砂ホコリが凄く、女性は髪の毛を覆えるものがあった方が良いかと思います。また、特に注意すべき事だけでも日本語ガイドがほしかったです。
何よりスリリングだったのは、送迎の運転でした。

Our family enjoyed the sunset dinner cruise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t have much of a sunset, but like others mentioned you just had to get up and go out on the deck as they don’t make any announcement. The food was okay. Service was great. The entertainment was good as well. But i’m not sure It was worth the money so I probably wouldn’t do it again.

After an hour on the bus, we arrived. I couldn't keep my backpack with me, so I stored it in a locker and was ready to go. We watched a DVD with riding instructions, and then it was time for the 2-hour tour. Everything was in English, and we didn't stop for photos, even at the photo points. If you're hoping to take pictures while riding, this might not be suitable, as the camera couldn't focus. If there had been Japanese guidance through the intercom, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.

1時間バスに揺られた到着。後ろリュックはダメでロッカーに預けて準備OK。
乗馬の注意事項DVD見て、いよいよ2時間ツアーへ
すべて英語で記念撮影もストップせず、写真ポイントでも止まる事なく、素通り、馬に乗っている為カメラのピントが合わず記念撮影を撮りたい方には不向きです。
インカムで日本語案内が有れば、もう少し楽しめたのカナ？

I participated with a friend. We were picked up by car from the hotel and gathered at the office near the beach for a short lecture while watching a video, then headed to the beach for a surfing experience. There are lockers available for personal belongings. When I asked the staff if there was a security box, they lent me a key that could be attached to the locker. I put my passport and wallet there without any issues.

I brought a rash guard just in case, but there were plenty available for rent, and my friend borrowed one without any problems. I was worried about not understanding English, but they provided an instructor who spoke Japanese, so there were no language issues.

There were five people in the group, and some participants were there alone. Once we got into the water to start surfing, it was a cycle of getting on the surfboard, being swept close to the shore, paddling out, and getting back on the board, so I think being alone wouldn’t be a problem.

As others have mentioned, you can generally ride the waves. Let's try to enjoy as much as we can within the time! One thing to be cautious about is the rocks and coral under the water. I injured my foot relatively early on, but I continued without worrying too much.

Even if you get hurt, there are first aid supplies at the office, and I used them as well. This became my best memory of my stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

友達と2人で参加しました。
ホテルに車で迎えに来てもらい、ビーチ近くの事務所に集まり、動画を見ながら短時間の講習、ビーチに行ってサーフィン体験という流れです。
私物はロッカーがあり、入れられます。
事務所の方に、セキュリティボックスはあるか聞くと、鍵を貸してもらえ、ロッカーに取り付けられます。パスポートや財布はそこに入れ、問題ありませんでした。
ラッシュガードは念のため買って行きましたが、貸し出し用のものがたくさんあり、友達はふつうに借りていました。
英語がわからず不安でしたが、日本語が話せるインストラクターの方をわざわざつけていただき、言葉の問題はありませんでした。
グループは5人で、1人で参加している方もいました。実際、海に出てサーフィンに乗り出すと、サーフィン乗る→岸付近に流される→沖までパドリング→サーフィン乗るの繰り返しなので、1人でも気にならないと思います。
あとは他の方の体験にあるように、基本的に乗れます。時間内で出来るだけトライして楽しみましょう^_^
一点だけ、海面下にある、岩やサンゴには気をつけましょう。私も足を割と序盤に怪我しました。気にせず続けましたが。
怪我しても応急処置用品は事務所にあり、私も使わせてもらいました。
ハワイ滞在で一番の思い出になりました^_^
ありがとうございました！

The kids are experiencing Hawaii for the first time! They were really excited about the first attraction. It was just cold! I think it would be better if there were more freedom with taking photos. I wasn't sure if we could take our own or if it was part of the local service. Well, at least the kids had a great time, so that's good!

子供たちは始めてのハワイ❗️一発目のアトラクションでして、とても興奮していました。ただ寒かった‼️
写真なんかはもっと自由度があるといいと思いました。自分達で、撮っていいものか現地のサービスなのか。
まぁでも子供たちはめっちゃ楽しかったということで良かったです。

We took our 2 girls, 6 and 8. Water was slightly cool and it was windy which made the girls cold but it was fine otherwise. The dolphins were so sweet and playful and the trainers were great and good with our daughters. Definitely worthwhile and much better than sea life park which we have done before as well.
