All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

I ran the one-hour course last time, so this time I challenged myself with the two-hour course. Despite the not-so-great weather, I started without wearing a poncho. As expected, it started to rain right away. However, I didn't mind getting soaked at all; the scenery was completely different from the one-hour course, and it was a totally different kind of fun. I definitely recommend the two-hour course!

一時間のコースは前回走ったので、今回は二時間コースにチャレンジ。
いまいち天候が良くない中、ポンチョも着ずにスタート。案の定直ぐに雨。
でも、ずぶ濡れも気にしない程、一時間コースとは違う風景で、全く違う面白さでした。
絶対に二時間コースがお薦めですよ。

ハワイで急遽明日シュノーケルでもしたいと思って調べたらちょうどぴったりなプランがすぐに見つかったから嬉しかったです。また利用します

the boat crew was very nice and ensured we had the best time ever.

It was a bit delayed until we got on the first horse, overlapping with other reservation groups, but the explanations in Japanese were helpful, so there were no issues. Once we started riding, the scenery that you can't experience in Japan was amazing. My horse was a bit stubborn, but that too became a good memory.

最初の馬に乗るまでが、他の予約グループとかぶりやや遅れましたが
日本語の説明もあり、問題なかったです。
乗馬スタートしてから、日本では味わえない景色等で最高でした
自分の馬がややわがままな子でしたが、それも良い思い出です。

The captain and the crew were very friendly and entertained us with their actions and props! Before boarding the boat, a local person guided us in Japanese, and even after getting on the ship, they communicated in simple English and Japanese, so I don't think there will be any communication issues at all. It was a unique experience to float on the sea with just my body. If you hand them your phone and ask, they will take pictures for you, and there was no charge for photography! (However, since I really enjoyed myself, I gave a tip at the end as a thank you.) My friend, who was initially scared due to a fear of heights, was able to enjoy it without feeling scared at all once we got up! It was such a wonderful memory that I want to meet the captain and the crew again when I go to Hawaii!

船長さんも乗組員の方もとてもフレンドリーで、動作や小道具で楽しませてくれました！
ボートに乗る前も現地の方が日本語で案内してくれましたしたし、船に乗ってからも簡単な英語と日本語で伝えてくださるので、コミュニケーション面で一切困らないと思います。
海の上に体１つで浮かぶという、他にない経験でした。携帯を渡してお願いしたら写真を撮ってもらえますし、撮影料が掛かることはなかったです！
（ただ、本当に楽しませてもらったので、お礼の意味も込めて最後にチップを渡しました。）
最初は怖がっていた高所恐怖症の友達も、上がってから一度も怖がることなく楽しめていました♪またハワイに行ったら船長さん達に会いたいと思うくらい最高の思い出です！！

Had an amazing time.
I'd definitely recommend this. 11/10.

The water level this time was waist-deep, but it was very beautiful. I had heard that it wouldn't look as good as in photos, so I wasn't disappointed. The colors of the sea and sky were also very beautiful. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays. I didn't go snorkeling because I can't swim, but my colleagues were thrilled to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close. The staff were very cheerful and energetic, which was great. They were very kind, and I would definitely like to join this crew again when the opportunity arises.

今回の水位は腰下でしたがとても綺麗でした。
なかなか写真みたいにはならないと聞いてましたのでがっかり感はありませんでした。また、海と空の色がとても綺麗でした。ウミガメやマンタも見れて大満足です。シュノーケリングは泳げないからしませんでしたが、同僚たちはまじかてウミガメや綺麗な魚を見れて喜んでいました。
スタッフの方たちはとても明るく、テンション高めで対応してくれて良かったです。とても親切でまた機会あるときは是非このクルー達と参加したいです。

The sandbar had water up to my waist, but I was very satisfied to see the emerald sea. I was also very pleased with the hospitality of the crew. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

サンドバーは腰の高さまで水がありましたが、
エメラルドの海が見られて大変満足でした。
クルーの皆さんのホスピタリティにも大満足。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

I stayed at Hyatt, and it was easy to participate with the shuttle service to the hotel! The staff only speaks English, but since there are many Japanese guests, they seem accustomed to it, so communication is not a problem even if you can't speak English.

We boarded the boat in groups, and for those participating alone, other participants would ride twice to ensure everyone was in tandem. Lighter-weight Japanese people tend to go higher compared to foreigners! The view is amazing, and it feels like you're leisurely swinging over the sea. There's no sense of speed, so as long as you're okay with heights, I don't think it's scary at all.

For $30 (with a $5 fee for the guard), they also took photos and provided nearly 90 data files on an SD card.

ハイアットに宿泊でしたが、ホテルまで送迎つきで楽々参加！
スタッフは英語しか話せませんが、日本人客が多く向こうも慣れているようで、英語が話せなくてもコミュニケーションは問題なしです。
何組かでまとめてボートに乗り込み、1人で参加の方は、他の参加者が2回乗るなどして必ずタンデムでした。
体重の軽めな日本人は、外国人に比べて上がるのが高い！！景色は最高で、海の上でブランコにのってゆ〜ったりしている感じです。スピード感はないので、高い所さえ平気なら全く怖くないと思います♩
30ドル（ガードなら手数料５ドルかかります）で写真も撮ってくれ、90枚近くのデータをSDカードでくれました。

The captain and the instructor were always cheerful and lively, truly embodying the American spirit. They communicated important information clearly, even for those who don't speak English, and I was able to enjoy the experience. However, I do think it would have been more fun to interact with other guests. While safety doesn't seem to be an issue for those who don't speak English, being able to communicate in English might enhance the experience if you want to engage more with other guests.

船長さんとインストラクターさんは常にノリノリで明るく、いかにもアメリカらしさを感じる方たちでしたが、英語ができなくても重要なことはきちんと伝えてくれたし、楽しく体験することができました。
ただ、他のお客さんとの交流も出来たら楽しかっただろうなあとは思います。
安全面では英語ができなくても問題無さそうですが、他のお客さんとの交流などより楽しみたい場合は英語が出来た方がいいかもしれません。

It was really great. The dolphins and sea turtles were wonderful.
You should definitely pay the $10 and rent a wetsuit. As a result, the only people who stayed in the water until the end were those wearing wetsuits. Only 5 or 6 out of 34 people rented them, but most people were really cold. The hamburger was delicious, but I would have preferred mineral water over the strange juice. Almost everyone wasn't drinking it.

すごく良かったです。イルカにウミガメ、すごく素敵でした。
$10ケチらず払って、ウェットスーツは借りるべきです。結果、最後まで海に入ってたのは、ウェットスーツを着てる人だけでした。5~6人/34人中、しか借りてませんでしたが、ほとんどの人は、すごく寒がってました。ハンバーガーは美味しかったですが、変なジュースよりミネラルウォーターが欲しかったで。ほとんどみんな飲んでなかった。

The pickup was on time, and it was a smooth start. The boat to the sailing point was fast and refreshing. I booked for 120 meters, but after takeoff, I couldn't tell how high I went, just as others had written. Haha. It was surprisingly quiet up there, and I was able to calmly overlook Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When it was time to land, I made the customary splash into the sea! After a light splashdown, I quickly floated back up and landed on the boat. It was so much fun that I want to do it again!

時間通りにお迎えに来て頂きスムーズな滑り出しでした。セーリングポイントまで行くボートもスピードがあって爽快でした。120mで予約しましたがテイクオフした後、他の人が書き込んでいた通り何メートルまで上がったかなんてわかりませんね。笑。上空は思いのほか静かで落ち着いてワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡すことができました。
降りるときはお約束の海にボッチャン！軽く着水した後またすぐに浮き上がってボートに着陸。とても楽しかったのでまたやりたいです。

Overall, I think it was good, but depending on where you sit, the view seemed to vary quite a bit, which was disappointing. Also, since it's not something you get to do often, it was a valuable experience.

全体的には、良かったとおもいますが…座る位置によっては見え方に随分差があったみたいでそれが残念でした。後潜水艦に乗るような事はないので貴重な体験が出来ました。

Overall, I was satisfied with the service, but the heavy rain made the sea very rough and the visibility wasn't great. Still, it was cleaner compared to the seas in Japan... It's understandable given the weather, but it's disappointing considering the high price I paid. I would like to try again next time.

サービスは全体的に満足ですが、何と言っても大雨で海は大荒れ、透明度もイマイチ。それでも日本の海に比べたら綺麗でしたが…天候のせいなので仕方ないのですが、高いお金を払っただけに残念です。次回またリベンジしたいです。

Meeting early in the morning was tough, and I was sleepy, but when I got to swim in the ocean and encountered a pod of dolphins, it was simply "moving"! There was even a baby dolphin about the size of a football!

At the snorkeling spot, a wild turtle came up to the surface for air right in front of me. It was so cute.

Since it was November, it was a bit chilly...

早朝の集合で、眠たかったけど海に入りイルカの群れに出会えた時は、”感動”の一言！
アメフトボールぐらいのサイズの赤ちゃんイルカもいました！

シュノーケリングポイントでは、目の前に野生のカメが、空気を吸いに海面に。
とってもかわいかったです。

１１月だったので、少し寒かったかな。。。

What a great crew, we had so much fun and the crew was just fabulous, can't say enough about them.

I couldn't meet the dolphins. However, the first bus at 5 AM was filled with discussions about seasickness bracelets and purchasing photos, and in the end, I couldn't see them... There were activities, but they were things I could do elsewhere... I'm not sure if other tour companies saw dolphins at different locations that day, but I won't participate again next time.

イルカに会えませんでした。
しかし、最初のバス朝５時から船酔いブレスレッドや写真の購入等の商売の話で、
結局みれず・・・アクテビティはあったが、他でも出来る内容だったり、、、
他社のイルカウオッチとは違う場所で、他社業者ツアーがその日みれたかわかりませんが、
次回参加はしないです。

We went on our honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and the staff's funny and energetic talks kept the atmosphere bright and enjoyable throughout. The main dolphin swim was also fortunate, as we encountered a pod of over 20 to 30 dolphins just by sight. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles surface twice, and we were able to swim alongside them. Of course, the schools of fish were beautiful, and we were able to capture a lot of footage with our underwater camera and video. The snapshots taken by the camera staff were available for purchase, and there were many data points and scenes, which were quite good. Paddleboarding and kayaking were also new experiences for me, but with the guide present, I felt safe trying it despite my lack of skill. The scenery of the surrounding mountains was also stunning, and I had a refreshing time dancing hula cheerfully with the staff and other tour participants, making for a wonderfully fun half-day that felt like a dream! It was the most memorable activity of our time in Hawaii.

新婚旅行で行きました。当日は天候に恵まれ、スタッフの方の面白く元気なトークで終始明るく楽しめました。メインのイルカとスイムもコンディションに恵まれ、目で見ただけでも20～30頭以上のイルカの群れに出会いました。しかも、ラッキーなことにウミガメがぷか～りと2回も浮かんできて、周りで一緒に泳いだりもできました。もちろん魚群も綺麗で水中カメラやビデオに沢山の映像収めることができ、またカメラスタッフの方のスナップも有料購入ですがデータ数もシーンも多くかなり良いものでした。またパドルやカヤック遊びも初体験でしたがガイドの方がいるので下手な私も安心してトライできました。海だけでなく周りの山々の景色も素晴らしく、気分爽快でスタッフ、ツアー参加者の人達と陽気にフラダンスを踊り、とても楽しい夢のような半日を過ごせました！ハワイで一番思い出に残るアクティビティでした。

It was great to be able to ride a submarine and see sea turtles. However, I was hoping to see more schools of fish, but there weren't as many as I expected... I was looking forward to clear waters, but it seemed a bit murky... I felt like I could see more colorful fish in the clearer seas of Okinawa while snorkeling. Maybe the timing was just off...? I'm not sure about that, but it turned out to be a rather disappointing tour.

潜水艦に乗れたのと、ウミガメをみられたのはよかったです。しかし、もっと魚群がみられるのかな…と思いきや、思ったほどおらず、、、。クリアな水中を期待していたが、何だか濁っていたり、、、。まだ、沖縄のシュノーケルの方が、クリアな海で色とりどりの魚を観ることができる気がしました。時期が悪かったのかなぁ…？その辺はちょっと分かりませんが、ガッカリ感が強いツアーになってしまいました。

I applied for the tour hoping to see sharks. When I actually got on the boat, there was a guarantee of a 100% encounter with sharks.

When we arrived at the shark spot, there were tons of them. So I was very satisfied.

Even though they are sharks, they are calm and don't bump into the cage. You can observe them quietly and thoroughly.

サメが見れたらいいなぁなんて思いでツアーに応募。
実際の船に乗ったら100％サメとの遭遇を保証なんて記述が。

サメスポットに到着するとうじゃうじゃいます。
なので大満足です。

サメと言ってもおとなしくてケージにゴンゴン来たりしません。
おとなしくてじっくり見れます。

The staff were friendly, the ship was clean and we enjoyed the food and entertainment. The entertainers, from the dancers to the musicians on our deck, were fun to watch and listen to. The food was tasty and the portions were generous. The only downside, in my opinion, was that they served dinner immediately after setting sail. Given that sunset was 30 mins after we sailed, we either had to choose to watch the sunset and let our food get cold, or eat our food and miss the sunset. We had plenty of time to eat, so I wish they had waited until after sunset to serve the food.

It is like an island in island. Beautiful location, beach & fishes...

Driver was on time and very good with quick explanation with equipment and what to do.

I will do it again...

I booked a 150m parasailing experience. I was nervous since it was my first time, but once I was up in the air, the view was amazing and I could see the beautiful ocean, so I was glad I participated. It was a bit disappointing that the weather was not great… Also, for those who get motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication beforehand, as some people did feel unwell.

パラセイリング１５０mを予約しました。初挑戦でドキドキしましたが空に上がってしまうと景色が最高で綺麗な海が見えたので参加してよかったです。お天気が少し悪かったのがショックでしたが…。後、乗り物酔いをする方は、事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。気分が悪くなる方もいらっしゃいましたので。

Originally, it was supposed to be an experience with my daughter, but she fell ill on the day, so I participated alone. The driver and guide were experienced, making the ride enjoyable. First, I visited the Dole Plantation for the first time in ten years. After about 30 minutes of sightseeing, we went to the beach where we hoped to see honu (turtles). Unfortunately, they weren't on the shore, but they were nearby, coming up for air. Then, we headed to Haleiwa. I had originally planned to have garlic shrimp for lunch, but since I was alone, I switched to an acai bowl, which was delicious. Finally, we went for the horseback riding experience. With the experienced guide leading us, we walked slowly in a line, two meters apart. The ocean was beautiful, and I had a fulfilling time. On the day, there were four participants, and since the roads were clear, we had some free time in Haleiwa on the way back. Then, we headed to Honolulu. It was a very fulfilling tour.

本来なら娘と2人での体験でしたが、当日体調不良になり、私1人での参加になりました。運転兼ガイドさんの説明も慣れており、楽しい車中になりました。まず、ドールプランテーションに10年ぶりに行きました。30分ほど見学し、その後、ホヌ(亀)が居るかもしれない海岸に残念ながら浜辺にはいませんでしたが、すぐ近くにいて、息継ぎに顔をあげます。そして、ハイレアへ。本来ならガーリックシュリンプの昼食を考えていましたが、1人参加になってしまったので、アサイーボウルに変更。美味しかったです。そして、いよいよ乗馬体験へ。慣れたガイドさんを先頭に2メートル間隔でゆっくり歩きます。海が綺麗で充実した時間を過ごすことができました。当日、体験者が4人と道路が空いていたので帰路にも、ハイレアで自由時間がありました。そして、ホノルルへ。とっても充実したツアーでした。

My wife and I were recently transferred from the mainland and celebrated our 41st Anniversary here in Honolulu without our family, So we thought a seven course meal sunset dinner meal cruise with Jazz entertainment would an ideal way to celebrate our weddding anniversary. Coincidentally we were sitted next to another couple from Chicago who just renewed their wedding vows after 41 years of marriage also and found a lot in common with them (same age of children and grandchildren and pathway in life), thus truly enjoyed each company - for they were traveling by themselves as well. The Captain, the crew were great (especially Foster our server), the service was fantastic, and the food was great. And of course the entertainment and the ambiance with sunset backdrop and Waikiki ocean shore scenery made it memorable.

Here's what you can expect from Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment / Three Star Steak and Lobster Dinner with Jazz entertainers.

Coast over the calm water of Waikiki aboard the most popular dinner cruise in Hawaii, where you
will be treated to live music, top dining and spectacular views.

Upon arrival at Aloha Tower Pier, you will be guided to the top deck, where the captain and crew are waiting to treat you to a Hawaiian Belini toast and seasonal appetizers. A sophisticated way to start off an elegant evening at sea.

Sunset

As the final moments of daylight fade over the Pacific horizon, the Super Nova room fills with warm light. Views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, but it was great to see so many rays and sea turtles. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle resting in a coral nook, and I was able to touch its shell as it surfaced for air. The shell of the green sea turtle, which was about 60 cm long, had several barnacles on it, giving it a dignified appearance that suggested it was quite old.

当日はあいにくの曇模様で下が、エイやウミガメがたくさん見えたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの時にはサンゴのくぼみで休んでいたウミガメがいて、息つぎに浮上して来たところで甲羅にタッチすることができました。体長60cmはあろうかというミドリウミガメの甲羅にはフジツボが何個かついていて年齢を重ねていると貫禄がありました。

Amazing crew and couldn't have asked for anything else!!! Friendly and never overbearing, we saw 6 or 7 enormous turtles!!! Great drinks. Highly recommended!!

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

I highly recommend everyone to do this excursion! This was probably the highlight of my whole trip to O’ahu during 10/19-10/25. From the hospitality of the staff to the excursion activities itself, I would want to do this every time I come back!

I also met a gentleman (the one that provides entertainment during lunch) and he was making handmade bracelets with palm leaves. If any of the staff can help me out in getting in contact with him - because I recently lost my anklet he made when I came back to the mainland, that would be great!

Other than that, literally best time of my life!!

Our driver arrived on time (to the minute) to our hotel pick up point. He was cordial and helped with the seat belt shoulder strap (due to passengers need to ingress the rear set of seats). He dropped us off and picked us up as planned. We had a very nice hike up to the lookout station and WWII bunkers on Diamond Head. The view was absolutely worth the trip! Veltra made the trip that much more enjoyable.
