All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

Although the cloudy weather was disappointing, the staff were delightful and our conversations mixed with Japanese made for a very enjoyable time. Watching others from the boat, I was surprised at how quickly they ascended, but in reality, it was a smooth ascent without feeling any G-forces, which was very pleasant. They kindly took photos with my camera, and I highly recommend this experience. Don't forget to tip!

曇天模様は残念でしたが、スタッフが愉快な人で日本語交じりのおしゃべり、とても楽しいひと時でした。
他の方をボートから見ていると速いスピードで上がっていくのでビックリ、しかし実際はスーと上がっていきＧも感じずとても気持ちよかったです。
持ち込んだカメラで快く写真も撮っていただき、おススメだと思います。くれぐれもチップは忘れずに！

I went surfing for the first time in my life. For a guy nearing his sixties, it was definitely a bit of a tough activity. But it was so much fun!

生まれて初めてサーフィンをしました。還暦近いおじさんにはさすがに少々ハードな遊びです。でも最高に楽しかった！

You can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere since it's not crowded. Walking along the coast feels very nice. It's a homely atmosphere at the riding club.

空いててゆったりと楽しめます。
海沿いを歩くのでとても気持ちいいです。
アットホームな雰囲気の乗馬クラブです。

Would definitely recommend this activity to do it was amazing the crew were fantastic

Great staff who made the trip lots of fun. Saw tons of turtles, though not a great variety of other fish - but I was there to see turtles, and so I was happy as can be!
Got a little woozy after being out on the ocean, and they immediately recognized it (without me having to say anything!) and offered me a dab of lavendar oil behind my ears/under my nose that cleared it right up.

Overall a great trip, highly recommend!

If you're going to fly, of course, aim for 150m.
The clear weather and height provided an amazing view.
The staff were also great, taking photos with us.

飛ぶならもちろん150m。
晴天、高さもあって眺めが最高でした。
スタッフも一緒に写真とってくれるなど対応も良かったです。

The waiting time on the boat was quite shaky and a bit tough, but once I floated up into the sky with the parachute, I was able to take my time enjoying the scenery. It was truly a perfect expression of a walk in the sky.

ボートの上での待ち時間はかなりの揺れで少し辛かったが、パラシュートでふんわりと空の上に上がってからはゆっくり景色を見る事が出来て、空の散歩という表現がぴったりでした。

The rain has stopped, but the wind was strong due to the clouds, and it was cold enough to make me feel like I was freezing. Some participants were wearing down jackets because of the cold. The waves were high from the wind, and the sea water was murky with low visibility. Also, tips are not included in the tour fee, so I intended to give a tip, but the pressure for tips was overwhelming and took away from the experience.

雨は止みましたが、雲で風が強く、寒くて凍えそうでした。
寒くて一部参加者はダウンジャケットを着ていました。
風で波が高く、海の水は濁り、透明度はあまりありませんでした。
それとチップはツアー代金に含まれていないので渡すつもりでしたが、
チップの催促がすごくて興醒めしました。

It was a very good experience tour.

I thought a regular pickup would come, but a really cool, big, and beautiful bus arrived, and everyone got excited.

There were plenty of monitors inside the bus, and the explanations were easy to understand. The female guide not only spoke Japanese but also created a great atmosphere, making it fun.

The tour was enjoyable for all the members. We got to see and swim with dolphins.

The snorkeling afterward was also very good. Since it can be cold, it's definitely better to borrow a wetsuit at the beginning.

とても良い体験ツアーでした。

普通のお迎えが来ると思っていたらとてもカッコいいデカイ、キレイなバスがきてみんなでテンション上がりました。

モニターもバス内にたくさんあり、説明がわかり易かったです。
ガイドの女性も日本語が話せるだけではなくとても空気を作れる方で楽しかったです。

ツアーは、メンバーが全て楽しかったです。
イルカも見れて泳げて

その後のシュノーケルもとてもよかった。
寒いので
最初の段階で必ずウェットは借りたほうがいいです。

On the day of the tour, it unfortunately rained, but I was able to see both sea turtles and manta rays up close! The staff were all friendly, making it a fun tour.

ツアー当日は生憎の雨模様でしたが、ウミガメ・マンタ両方を間近で見ることができました！
スタッフも気さくな方々ばかりで楽しいツアーでした。

I had a great time, but I think more people would attend if it were a bit cheaper. My light-colored slacks got stained brown. Maybe it was because the horse had brown wax on it, so I hope for a colorless wax next time.

非常に楽しかったが、もう少し格安であればもっと参集人員が増えると思う。白っぽいスラックスが茶色に染まり汚れた。多分馬に茶色のワックスがかかっておりそれが付着したので次回からムショクワックスを望む。

Incredible, awesome, different and the crew are OUTSTANDING!
My 2nd time, and I brought along 23 people with me and again it was GREAT. All our first timers LOVED it. It was rough seas from a severe storm the two previous days, which affected seeing the crater on the sea floor, but lots of fish were out to play. Saw quite a few turtles too.
All my guests said it was TERRIFIC and they had a ball!!
The crew are always smiling, helpful and FUN!!!
Thanks again guys!!!

Great snorkelling amongst turtles and gorgeous tropical fish. Terrific sailing experience also, with excellent crew onboard. Drinks and snacks available, bring small amount of cash

Absolutely fantastic experience. The guys that looked after us were fabulous. Would easily do it again.

For someone that has never snorkeled or dove before, this was amazing and makes me want to get my diving certification! It was so easy, the crew was great and I just don't have enough words to describe how awesome it was. We saw squid, turtles and loads of colorful fish! I would do this over and over again!

Thanks Taylor for a great day and super photos and videos!

With clear skies and a gentle breeze, the view of Diamond Head and the hotel towers while heading out to sea on a motorboat was exhilarating. There were eight participants, taking off two at a time into the sky. The tension when taking off from the boat was thrilling—“Oh!”—it was unforgettable. After that, it felt like a dream. We are a couple celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, and we truly had a wonderful experience. The staff was kind and humorous, and there was nothing to complain about. The 150 meters was the most enjoyable part.

快晴微風、モーターボートでワイキキ沖に向かう時のダイアモンドヘッド、ホテルのタワー群の景色に、気分は盛り上がりました。
　参加者は８人で２人づつ大空へ。ボートからテークオーフする時の緊張感が「オーッツ！」、たまらない。それからは夢心地でした。
　ちょうど結婚５０年の夫婦ですが、まことにいい体験をさせていただきました。スタッフも親切でユーモラスで申し分ありませんでした。１５０ｍが一番楽しめそうです。

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time touching a dolphin, but when I saw the dolphin's face up close, it was really cute. Swimming with the dolphin was a lot of fun.

初めてイルカに触れるとあって多少緊張していましたが実際にイルカの顔を近くで見るとすごく可愛いかったです。
イルカと一緒に泳ぐことが出来てとても楽しかったです。

Guide (Kevin) was very professional, informative and accommodating. This tour is a great way to explore the north shore area.

It was tough with the rain and high waves. We managed to see dolphins, but it seemed like more people didn't get to see them. The staff was very good, so it would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated.
We were supposed to have lunch on the boat, but after the activity, we waited on land for about 30 minutes and received a McDonald's cheeseburger to eat. I was disappointed because I chose this place over a middle school specifically to enjoy lunch.

雨が降ってきたり、波が高かったりして大変でした。自分たちはなんとかイルカは見れましたが、見れない人のほうが多かったようです。スタッフはとても良かったので、天気に恵まれれば最高でした。
船上ランチのはずが、アクティビティ終了後に陸で30分ほど待ち、マックのチーズバーガーを一つもらい食べました。ランチを楽しみに中学ではなく大学を選んだので、がっかりしました。

I had a great time! However, I got a bit seasick while surfing, which was a little disappointing, but I still enjoyed it! The instructor helped me catch the waves at just the right moment, so even as a beginner, I was able to have fun without any issues! Next time, I will take some motion sickness medication before participating!

とても楽しかったです！
が、サーフィンに酔ってしまい少し残念でしたが楽しめました！
良いタイミングでインストラクターの方が波に乗せてくれたので、初心者でも問題なく楽しめました！
次回は酔い止めを飲んで参加します！

It was rainy and cold, but when I saw the dolphins, I was so happy that I forgot about the cold. I highly recommend this tour!

雨が降って寒かったですが、イルカが見れた時は寒さも忘れるぐらい嬉しかったです。ぜひオススメのツアーです

Had the best time there was a little to many people in the cage at one time but it was still the most amazing thing I ever got to experenice!I would defefenitly recommend this dive!

The location tour was interesting and time passed quickly, but the next jungle tour? The guide was a foreigner and spoke only English. The places we visited felt similar to the location tour. I couldn't understand anything the guide was saying and we just rode around in a truck that had a bit more speed. If I had known the guide would only speak English, I wouldn't have gone.

We wasted about an hour and a half here, and the meal we finally returned to was terrible; it would have been better not to eat at all. The last taste farm had a Japanese guide who was easy to understand, which improved my mood a bit, but we spent almost the entire day going around similar environments and wasted precious time during our stay in Hawaii. I wish the Japanese site had mentioned in the notes that the guide would only speak English.

ロケ地ツアーは面白く時間が過ぎましたが続いてのジャングルツアー？ガイドが外人さんで英語のみ
回る場所もロケ地ツアーと雰囲気変わらず
ガイドが何言ってるか全くわからないままただ少しスピード感を出したトラックで回るのみ
英語のみのガイドなら行きませんでした。
ここで無駄に１時間半位時間を無駄にしやっと戻った食事がまた最悪、食べない方がマシでした。
最後のテイストファームはわかりやすい日本のガイドだったので少し気分が良くなりましたが、いかんせん同じような環境をほぼ一日中回ってせっかくのハワイの貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしました。
日本のサイトで申し込んで英語だけのガイドなら注意事項で書いておいてほしかったです。

It was a very elegant time, walking slowly along the beach and through the fields for about an hour and a half. I was a bit worried since the explanations were only in English, but the horses were well-trained, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. Since I didn't have a rental car, I took the bus to Haleiwa and then used Uber from there. Fortunately, there happened to be an Uber nearby both on the way there and back, so I didn't have to wait long, but according to the driver, there usually aren't many Uber cars around this area. Those without a rental car might want to be cautious.

海辺や野畑を1時間半ほどゆっくり歩く、とても優雅な時間でした。
説明は英語オンリーということで少し心配でしたが、しっかり躾されている馬たちなので、安心して楽しむことができました。
レンタカーがなかったので、バスでハレイワまで行き、そこからuberで行きました。uberは行きも帰りもたまたま近くにいたのでそこまで待たずに捕まえられましたが、運転手さんいわくこのへんは普段はあまりuber車は通っていないとのこと。
レンタカーなしの方は気を付けた方がいいかもしれません。

My long-awaited first trip to Hawaii! I went in mid-April. The day before was unfortunately rainy, so I was worried about rain on the day of my trip, but fortunately, the weather held up until the end. I was able to see a pod of dolphins, sea turtles swimming along the ocean floor, and schools of small fish, which made for an incredibly moving experience in the crystal-clear waters.

As for advice for those who will be participating, I tend to handle the cold well, but if you are sensitive to cold, be sure to bring a larger towel and a jacket, as it can get chilly, especially with the wind while moving on the boat! Also, since mid-April is the end of the rainy season, I was able to take time off work when things were relatively calm to go to Hawaii. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to go during the dry season next time.

念願の初ハワイ！
4月中旬に行きました。前日があいにく雨模様だったので、当日雨が降るのが心配でしたが、幸い天気も最後まで崩れる事なく、予定通り？イルカの群れにも海底を泳ぐウミガメにも小さい魚の群れにも会う事ができて透き通るようなきれいな海中もともなって感動の体験でした。
これから参加される方へのアドバイス？ですが、私は寒さには強い方なのですが、寒さに弱い方は、船で移動中は特に風が吹くと寒いので、大きめのタオルとジャケットなど寒さ対策は忘れないように！
あと4月中旬は雨季の終わりという事で、今回も仕事が比較的落ち着いた時にお休みをもらってハワイに行く事ができましたが、もし又機会があれば、今度は是非、乾季に行きたいと思っています。

Unfortunately, the weather on the day was poor, and as soon as the boat departed, it started pouring rain. The waves were high, and the boat was rocking... I had to stay on board except when I was flying, and the seasickness from the swaying boat was overwhelming. The tour ended in the morning, but even after arriving at the hotel, I still felt nauseous until the evening, which was tough. The parasailing itself was a lot of fun, but the rocking of the boat was quite difficult to handle.

当日はあいにくの天候で、船が出発したとたんに大雨。
波が高く、揺れる揺れる・・・
自分が飛んでいる！？以外は船上で待機していなければならないので、
揺れる船での船酔いが半端なく、ツアーは午前中で終了なのですが、
ホテルに着いてからも夕方まで酔いが収まらず、大変でした。
パラセール自体はとても楽しかったのですが、船の揺れがかなりつらかったです。

This horseback riding experience was a bit of a failure in terms of location. I thought it would be closer to Turtle Bay Resort, but it was quite far away (there are also horseback riding facilities within the resort). I rented a car to secure transportation to the site. This time, it was a disappointment.

今回の乗馬は場所的に失敗しました。
タートル ベイ リゾートからもう少し近いと思って・・・いましたが
かなり、離れていて（リゾート内にも乗馬施設あり）
行くまでの手段の確保にレンタカーをレンタルして現地へ向かいました。
今回は失敗しました。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.

スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

Overall, the sunset cocktail cruise was excellent. The service staff was very attentive and would frequently go around the catamaran, refilling drinks and asking if you needed anything. The cruise itself did not take you very far from the pier, and stayed off the Waikiki coast, but still had an excellent view of diamond head and sunset. The appetizers were good, though not very substantial, consisting of chips, salsa, guacamole, salad, pasta salad, veggies, and rolls. Wouldn’t expect to get full from the food. The drinks were great, and basically free-flowing. Overall an excellent cocktail cruise

It felt like experiencing a movie on the same boat as foreigners! I even got to see dolphins! However, the waves were really strong, and the boat rocked a lot, so while I enjoyed it, those who are prone to motion sickness might find it tough!

外国の方とおんなじ船で映画の気分を味わってるようでした！イルカにも会えました！
ただ波がすごく船が大きく揺れるので私は楽しかったですが酔いやすい方はきついかもしれないです！
