All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

- I had a great time seeing so many dolphins up close, even more than I expected.
- After swimming with the dolphins, I was able to go snorkeling, but I got too carried away with the dolphins and didn't have the energy left (laughs).
- The staff at Dolphin University were all really nice, and we had a fun time on the boat.
- The light snacks included chips, juice, and cheeseburgers. They tasted familiar, like something from McDonald's in Japan, and were really delicious.

・思っていた以上にたくさんのイルカをまじかで見られて楽しかった。
・イルカスイム後にシュノーケリングもできたが、イルカではしゃぎ過ぎて体力が持たなかった(笑)
・イルカ大学のスタッフの方も皆いい人で船の上でも楽しいひと時を過ごせる。
・軽食はスナック菓子とジュース、チーズバーガー。日本のマク○ナルド？のような味で親しみがありすごくおいしかった。

At first, I was just planning to observe, and I was worried about what would happen. I saw other groups flying, and I ended up vomiting due to motion sickness.

当初は見学だけん積りが飛ぶ事されてしまい、どうなる事になるか心配でしたが。
他のグループが飛ぶのを見ていて船酔で嘔吐しましたが。

It was supposed to be a Diamond Seat, but I was directed to a regular seat without any reservation. It was very disappointing that the service was not thorough, especially considering the $50 difference.

ダイアモンドシートだったが、席の確保がされておらず、普通の席に誘導された。50ドルもの差をつけながら、サービスが徹底されていないのが、とても残念だった。

I participated at the request of my 8-year-old daughter, and the location was very convenient as it was at the Royal Hawaiian Beach. Since I have a 3-year-old daughter as well, I was able to watch her play during the lesson. The instructor, Matt, spoke a little Japanese, and my daughter quickly understood and was able to stand up in the water in just about five minutes, which was surprising!

A photographer accompanied us and took pictures, so I ended up wanting to buy them. I was told that the photos alone would be $50, and if I wanted the video, it would be $80. I felt that was a bit expensive, but once I saw the video, I wanted it and ended up purchasing it...

My daughter had a great time!!

8歳の娘のリクエストで参加しましたが、場所もロイヤルハワイアンのビーチなのでとても便利でした。
下に3歳の娘がいるので、レッスン中は見ながら遊んでいました。
マット先生は日本語も少し話せて、娘も直ぐに理解して海に出てものの5分くらいで立ちビックリしました！

カメラマンも同行して、撮ってくれるので欲しくなり買いましたが写真だけなら50ドルでムービーもなら80ドルと言われ少し高いと感じましたが、ムービー見ちゃうと欲しくなり買いました…

娘はかなり楽しんでました！！

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. The pick-up and drop-off were on time, which was reassuring. We quickly ascended into the sky and arrived in no time. It was very calm and stable, but I was a little scared... My daughter was having a blast, swinging around! She seemed to enjoy it so much that she kept saying she wanted to do it again. I ended up buying the photo data because I wanted to have those memories, and I think $30 is a reasonable price for that.

The water splash was only up to my waist, so a bath towel wasn't necessary.

8歳の娘と参加しました。
送迎も時間通りで安心しました。
上空には一気に上がりあっという間に到着。
とても穏やかで安定していましたが、私は少し怖かったです…
娘はブランコ状態で大はしゃぎ！！
かなり楽しかったみたいで、もう一回と言い続けていました。
写真データもやっぱり欲しくなり買いましたが、思い出になるので30ドルならお安いかと思います。

海ポチャも濡れて腰くらいまでなので、バスタオルは必要なかったです。

Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent

Due to the tides and weather, the children were constantly floating, making it far from possible to walk on the sandy beach, which was disappointing. The tour program and the atmosphere with the attendants were good.

潮と天候の影響か、子供は常に浮いてる状態で、砂浜を歩くにはほど遠くて残念でした。
ツアーのプログラムやアテンドさん達の雰囲気は良かったです。

The scenery was amazing, but at this time of year, there are jellyfish, and about 5 or 6 people got stung. Of course, even on the bus during the transfer, I think it's important to inform people about the dangers more than before, as it can be dangerous! Children got stung more than adults, which is scary!

景色は最高でしたが、今の時期はクラゲがいて、5.,.6人ほど刺されました。
移動のバスの中も勿論のことツアー案内から、やはり危険は、以前より知らせないと、危ないと思いますよ！大人以上に子供も刺されましたが、怖いですよねー！

Incredible experience with an amazing pair running the show. I’d definitely recommend it and definitely do it again.

First of all, the reception staff, the captain, and the crew were all cheerful and made it a fun experience! Everyone except for us Japanese was foreign (two couples and three women), but we managed to have a friendly atmosphere in a sort of casual English.

We participated as two adults, a 9th-grade boy, a 6th-grade girl, and a 1st-grade girl, and we split into two groups: my wife with the middle schooler, and me with the two daughters, heading up into the sky. The feeling of lifting off from that boat was special.

Up in the air, it was a strange sensation where all you could hear was the sound of the wind, and we could see everything from Diamond Head to Waikiki Beach. The crew took various photos for us, which they sell on an SD card for $30. Some people were taking their own pictures, but we decided against it due to the risk of dropping our phones in the air and the potential for them to get wet during the final splashdown.

I gave a $20 tip, and they were very happy to receive it. The ride lasted about an hour, and my son, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit queasy, but he managed to be okay. It was a lot of fun!

まず第一に受付さんから、キャプテン(船長さん)、クルー(船員さん)が明るく楽しくしてくれます！
私たち日本人以外は全て外国人(カップル2組、女子3人)でしたが、何となくのノリ英語で和気あいあいな感じでした。
大人2人、中学3年生(男)、小学6年生(女)、小学1年生(女)で参加しましたが、家内＋中学生、私と娘2人に別れて上空へ。
あの船から浮き上がる？飛び立つ？感覚は特別でした。
上空は風の音しか聞こえない何とも不思議な感覚で、ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキビーチ全て見渡せました。
写真はクルーの方が色々と撮ってくれて、SDカードで販売してくれます。(30ドル)
自分達で撮ってる方もいましたが、上空で落とすリスクと最後の海ポチャ？の時の水没を、考えてスマホはなしにしました。
チップは20ドルお渡ししました！大変喜んでもらえました。
1時間程の乗船ですので、船酔いしやすい息子が少し気持ち悪くなりつつありましたが、何とか大丈夫でした。
大変楽しかったです！

From gathering to dispersal, it was a trouble-free and wonderful experience. There were indeed fewer Japanese people, but since it was during Obon, there were still quite a few. The Japanese participants were grouped together and toured as one. The woman at the reception used Google Translate on her smartphone to provide explanations. The instructor spoke only English, but there was nothing difficult at all. They were a dedicated group of professionals who ensured safety thoroughly.

集合から解散までトラブルなく、最高の体験になりました。日本人は確かに少ない様子でしたが、今回はお盆だったため、それなりに多く、日本人は日本人で1グループにまとめられ一緒に周りました。受付の女性は、スマホのグーグル翻訳を使って説明をしてくれました。インストラクターは英語のみですが、難しいことは全くありません。熱心で安全もしっかり確保してくださるプロ集団でした。

I requested a private lesson for my 7-year-old child's first surfing experience. The instructor didn't seem unmotivated, but I got the impression that they were just meeting the minimum requirements. My child seemed to have fun, though.

7歳のこどもの初サーフィンで、プライベートレッスンをお願いしました。インストラクターは、やる気がないとは言いませんが、最低限のノルマをこなしているという印象でした。こどもは楽しかったようです。

My two teenagers and I purchased the ATV/Zipline combo and were pretty excited about the ATV portion of it. When we got to Coral Crater, we realized it was a fenced in area with a bunch of trees and plants. Nothing to see or experience that has to do with Hawaii or Hawaii's beautiful scenery. We ziplined first, and that was ok. Nothing great or exciting...I would give that part of the experience a 6 out of 10. Again, you're just going through trees on the property, and in some instances, you see buildings fron across the street. We then went on to the ATV portion of this excursion. The ATVs are rigged so you can't get out of first gear. You go around and around and around on a dirt track and literally can't see anything but the dirt that's being kicked up by the ATV in front of you. These tracks should be watered down. There is nothing exciting about this, unless you're between the ages of 5 and 10. Otherwise, you get dizzy from going around in circles in the dust for an hour in first gear. My teens wanted to leave 10 minutes into the ride. Also, please be advised to bring a change of clothes, as you will be COVERED in dirt. We felt as though we wasted our time and money here. If I'm going to go that slow on an ATV, then at least I'd like to sight see!

I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.

It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.

これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。

日本人だらけのワイキキにしては珍しく、我家以外に日本人の参加者やスタッフがおらず、その雰囲気がとても新鮮でした。

The weather was great, and I was able to participate without feeling seasick at all. The boat itself, heading out into the vast ocean, was also enjoyable. The driver and the crew were very cheerful, which lifted everyone's spirits.

My children (ages 9 and 13) were a bit scared at first since it was their first experience, but they quickly got used to it and had fun once we were flying in the sky. The scenery was also very beautiful. It became a wonderful memory of our trip to Hawaii.

天気が良く、船に全く酔うことなく参加できました。
　大海原に繰り出す船自体も楽しかったです。送迎のドライバーも船員も大変陽気な方々でテンションがあがりました。

子供（9歳と13歳）達は、始めての体験に少々怖がっていましたが、空を飛ぶとですぐに慣れて楽しんでました。景色も大変良かったです。ハワイ旅行のいい思い出になりました。

We gathered early in the morning, but the activities didn't actually start until after 11 AM. Even after the activities ended, we couldn't leave right away, and there was a lot of unnecessary waiting time. This tour took up almost the entire day. The only contact method was email, which raises concerns about what to do in case of any issues.

朝早く集合したのに、結局アクティビティが始まったのは11時過ぎ。アクティビティが終わってからもすぐに帰れるわけではなく、無駄な待ち時間が多い。このツアーでほぼ1日終わってしまった。連絡先もメールしかなく、トラブルがあったときどうするのかと疑問です。

My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!

Due to the season, we didn't see any sandbars like those on TV, but the service was sufficient and good. The food was more to our liking than that of the famous tours, and the kids ate a lot.

季節柄、テレビに出てくるようなサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、必要十分なサービスで良かったです。
ご飯も有名ツアーのものより我が家は好みで子供達も沢山食べていました。

I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.

Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.

For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.

The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.

When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).

At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.

I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!

The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.

There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.

こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)

ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました！(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。

途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね！と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)

最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。

そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑

飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。

小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。

This was the most beautiful place ever. The kids really enjoyed the snorkelling here, lots of beautiful fish to see. The online booking process was simple and price was very affordable. Our driver was friendly and explained how to use the equipment. Pickup and drop off was on time. Highly recommend! Will be back to do this again!

I participated in the encounter with my 8-year-old and 3-year-old daughters. My 8-year-old had been there before, but she spent much longer in the pool this time and was very satisfied. After the tour, we had to wait quite a while at the photo counter, even though there wasn't much time before the return bus. If it had been a bit smoother, we could have returned without stress... Also, the return bus was as cold as a refrigerator, and even with a jacket on, I felt like I might catch a cold.

8歳と3歳の娘を連れてエンカウターに参加しました。
8歳の娘は2度目でしたが、以前よりプールにいる時間が長くて大満足でした。
ツアーに参加してから、帰りのバスの時間があまりないわりに写真のカウンターが混み合い結構待ちました。
もう少しスムーズならストレスフリーで帰れるたのに…
あと、帰りのバスの中が冷蔵庫並で上着を着ていても風邪引きそうでした。

I used this service on the last night of my trip to Hawaii. I was able to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery on a luxurious cruiser, creating the best memories. While most other tours had a majority of Japanese participants, this tour had many international guests. For $30, you can receive the photo data. I would love to use this service again!

ハワイ旅行最後の夜に利用しました。
高級感溢れるクルーザーで美味しい料理と、素敵な景色を見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。
他のツアーは日本人の方が大半ですが、こちらのツアーは海外の方がたくさん来ていました。
30ドルで写真のデータを送ってもらえます。
また利用したいです！

This was my second experience at the sandbar. This time, I went with a different tour company. It's called the Angel Sea Tour, but the person calling out at the meeting point wasn't very good at Japanese, so be sure to remember "Captain Bob Tours" as well!

The sandbar itself has territories depending on the tour company, so it's hard to say, but unfortunately, there was still water up to my knees this time. It's understandable given the weather, season, and lunar phases.

The flow was the same as the previous tour with another company: heading from the port to the sandbar → playing at the sandbar → lunch → snorkeling. There were two buses and two boats. One boat was just for Japanese people, while the other had a mix of Japanese and international guests (laughs). There were about 100 people in total.

The Angel Sea Tour offers:
- BBQ lunch that is incredibly delicious! They grill hamburgers on the boat!
- The tour guide is great at getting everyone excited and entertained.
They provide activities like beach volleyball at the sandbar.
- They don’t do annoying things like taking photos and selling them! (laughs)
- I encountered a giant sea turtle while snorkeling!

So, I highly recommend this tour!

サンドバーは2度目の体験。前回とは違うツアー会社でした。天使の海ツアーとなっていますが、集合場所での呼び出しは日本語があまり得意でない方でしたので、「キャプテンボブツアー」とも是非覚えておきましょう！
サンドバー自体はツアー会社によってのテリトリーがあるので、なんともいえないですが、残念ながら今回も膝下くらいまで水がありました。天候や季節、月の満ち欠けの影響があるので仕方ないですね。
流れは前回の他社のツアーとも同じく、港からサンドバーへ向かう→サンドバーで遊ぶ→ランチ→シュノーケリングの構成でした。
バス2台分、船は2隻。1隻は日本人だけ、もう一隻は半分日本人＋多国籍軍でした（笑）全体で100名くらいでしょうか。
天使の海ツアーは、
・BBQランチがめちゃくちゃおいしい！船の上でハンバーグ焼いてます！
・添乗員さんが盛り上げ上手！楽しませてくれます
　サンドバーではビーチバレーなど用意してくれています
・写真撮影して販売する・・など、うっとおしいことしません！笑
・シュノーケリングで巨大ウミガメに遭遇！
ということで、おすすめツアーです！

I was able to ride horses privately, so I received instruction that matched my level. Additionally, the lunch at the mountain top was excellent in both food and view. The view from the handmade swing was also exceptional!

プライベートで乗馬出来たので、レベルにあった指導をして頂けました。また、山頂での昼食は、料理、眺めが最高でした。また、手作りブランコから見る眺めも格別でした！

As mentioned in the initial notes, taking motion sickness medication was definitely the right choice. The boat can hold about ten people and goes quite far out. You’re on the boat for a while until it’s your turn, so it rocks quite a bit and the waves are intense. Watching the people in front put on parachutes and fly into the sky is… a bit scary. They soar away like kites at an incredible speed.

However, once you muster the courage to jump, there’s no fear at all, and you get swept away into the world of the sky! The view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, numerous hotels, and the endlessly expanding blue sky and emerald green sea is just amazing! The swaying feels like being on a swing, gently rocking, but the captain’s driving technique makes it quite dynamic. Since we were relatively young, we were tossed around quite a bit. Other young couples were also getting a good shake. It was really fun, and everyone who participated was super excited! It felt great to share that sense of unity.

For some reason, there was a conspicuous display of tips from the previous guests inside the boat… which was a bit disappointing, but I thought it was okay. Maybe I just didn’t understand, and it could be the norm.

When we returned to the harbor, they asked if we wanted to buy the SD card with the photos. It’s difficult to take pictures yourself while flying until you stabilize, so I thought purchasing it might be a good idea. The SD card was $30. We decided to buy it since we had such great memories, but some others chose not to.

Overall, it’s a lot of fun, and you really get to feel like a bird. If you love swings, you should definitely try it!

最初に注意書きにあった通り、酔い止めを飲んで正解でした。ボートは１０人くらい乗れるタイプで、結構沖まで行きます。順番がくるまではずっとボートなので、かなり揺れますし波が凄いです。前の方がパラシュートを装着して空に飛んで行くのは…ちょっと怖いです…。すっごい勢いで凧のように飛んでいきます。
でも覚悟を決め飛ぶと、恐怖なんて全くなく、空の世界に吸い込まれて行きます！目の前に広がるダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチ、沢山のホテル、そしてどこまでも広がる青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海、最高です！揺れ具合はブランコのようで、ゆらゆら揺れますが、船長さんのドライビングテクニックで沢山動かされます。私たちは比較的若い方だったので結構揺らされました。他の若いカップルもガンガンやられてました。それもかなり面白く、一緒に参加した方たちも大盛り上がり！一体感があってよかったです。
船にの中に何故かわざとらしく前の人のチップが飾ってあり…ちょっと残念だったのでよかったにしました。でも私がわかってないだけで、相場くらいなのかもしれません。
港に戻ると写真のSDカード購入希望を聞かれます。飛んでる最中は安定するまで自分で写真を撮るのは難しいので、購入ありかなと思いました。SDカードは３０ドルでした。私たちはいい思い出だったので購入することにしましたが、他の方は何人か購入されませんでした。
とにかく面白いですし、鳥になった感じを味わえます。ブランコ好きな方は是非！

It's amazing. The unique crew is fun. It's English-only, but I was able to understand through gestures, which added to the atmosphere and was great.

最高です。ユニークなクルーで楽しいです。英語オンリーですが、ジェスチャーで理解でき、そこがまた雰囲気あって良かったです。

Everything was perfect from check in to the end of the trip. Guides are awesome, really helpful and made us feel like rock stars!

I attended with my colleagues on August 15. We had diamond seats, but we arrived a bit late, so we had to wait in line for a little while, but we really enjoyed the show. The food had limited options and wasn't very tasty, but the show was truly great. The male dancers were quite impressive, and each of them did something secretly funny, which kept us laughing the whole time. The female dancers were also very lovely, and it seemed like the men from our company were quite captivated (laughs). I would like to go again, but since the food was lackluster, next time I want to just watch the show.

8月15日に会社の仲間と参加しました。ダイヤモンドシートですが少し遅れたのでこれまた少し並びましたがショーは楽しめました。
食事は種類も少なく、あまり美味しくなかったですが、ショーが本当に良かったです。男性のダンサーはかなり迫力あるし、各々がこっそり面白い事をしてくれるし終始笑っていられました。女性のダンサーもとても素敵で会社の男性陣はかなり魅了されてたようでした（笑）
また行きたいですが、食事がイマイチなので次はショーだけを見たりしたいです。

The shuttle service was very smooth, and I challenged myself with my 8-year-old daughter for 150 meters! It became the best memory! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii.

送迎もとてもスムーズで8歳の娘と150メートル挑戦しました！最高の思い出となりました！またハワイ来たらやりたいです。

I had to wait quite a long time to exchange my tickets. However, there was a slight sense of superiority as only those with Diamond Seats were allowed to enter at the last moment.

Benefits of the Diamond Seats:
The central front row is indeed central, but the show also faces the sides, so I didn't feel much of an advantage. They say dinner is prioritized, but those without Diamond Seats were the first to be ushered in for meals, and the staff said nothing about it. The crowd was mostly from Southeast Asia. The food was also mediocre.

For just the show, the price of the Diamond Seats seems a bit excessive.

チケット交換にかなりの時間並ばされました。しかしギリギリでダイヤモンドシートだけが優先に入場出来るタイミングで少しの優越感。
ダイヤモンドシートのメリット
中央前列、確かに中央だけどショーはサイドにも向いてやるのでメリットを感じない
ディナーも優先と言ってるがダイヤモンドシート以外が最初に食事に流れこむがスタッフは何も言わず。流れこむのは東南アジア
食事もイマイチ
ショーだけにダイヤモンドシートの料金は勿体無いかな
