All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

This trip to go cage diving with the sharks was incredible and unforgettable! To start off the bat, the crew Matt and Tanya were very nice, and knowledgeable. They are quick to ease anyones fear of being in harm or of risking the sharks being harmed in any way. Matt is full of jokes, almost like we got our own stand up before the main event! It was I believe 20 minutes of being in the water, more than enough time to watch the galapagos sharks swim by so elegantly. Once you get in the cage, you just seem to forget everything else, being surrounded by sharks close enough to see their pupils as they pass. Ultimately the sharks are rather disinterested in you, and more interested in the boat hoping for them to drop some crabs in the water thinking it's a fishing vessel. If you are on vacation, I would highly recommend this adventure, especially if you have a love for sharks like I do!

If you only do one thing here do the premier movie tour.. The afternoon cruise was a nice way to finish the visit

Amazing experience that should not be missed. The crew was knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe the entire time. Definitely going to do it again.

If you want a fantastic time with a great crew, Captain Ryan, Kevin and Zak, and swimming with sea turtles, go with Holokai! A great bargain for a GREAT experience! We'll be back!!

It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.

I was wondering if it would be okay since it was small, but when I asked the person, they were excitedly saying, "I want to swim with dolphins♪," so we decided to give it a try.

As expected, when it was time to enter the pool, they had a face full of anxiety. We calmed them down and started the program. Although they were scared at first, it seems they ultimately had fun, and all's well that ends well! (laughs)

If it were an elementary school student, they might have enjoyed it a bit more. But it was a valuable experience, and I'm glad we did it.

小さいので大丈夫かな？と思っていましたが本人に聞いてみると『イルカと一緒に泳ぐ♪』とルンルンだったので…試しに行ってみることに
案の定いざプールに入る時になると不安で一杯の顔。なだめつつプログラムスタート。最初は怖がっていたものの最終的には楽しかったようで、終わりよければ全て良し！(笑)
小学生ぐらいならもう少し楽しめたかも知れませんね
でも貴重な体験が出来良かったです

Pick up at the hotel before sunrise. The brightness inside the private bus was enough to shake off any sleepiness. It was a windy day, but we encountered dolphins twice. We also saw turtles and rays. Although I came to see the dolphins, the impression of the staff left a stronger mark on me. It was a fun tour.

日が昇る前にホテルでピックアップ。専用バスの中は眠気もぶっ飛ぶ明るさバシバシ。その日は風も強かったですが、イルカ達に2度も出会えました。また、亀やエイなども。イルカに会いに来たのにスタッフの印象の方が強く残っています。楽しいツアーでした。

My wife and I went on an amazing first time horse ride. I would like to especially like to thank GRACE. She was patient and kind. My wife was very scared but she put her at ease and made her very comfortable. We had an amazing ride well worth the money! The instructions were easy to understand and to apply. The scenery was beautiful with views of the ocean and mountains. The horses were beautiful and gentle. We went up and down the trails which made the trails more enjoyable.Even the drive out to the ranch was spectacular which added to an amazing time. Thank you Grace we will definetly recommend the Ranch to everyone we know.

I received information in advance about how to get there by car from Waikiki, so I arrived without getting lost. The thrilling zip line, which you can't find in Japan, was the best! Along the way, there were various simple activities that were fun. There was a cute guide named Dua Dura who spoke Japanese, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

ワイキキからの車での行き方のお知らせも事前にあったので、迷わず到着出来ました。日本にはないスリルのあるzipは最高‼︎
途中、様々な簡単なアクティビティもあり、楽しかったです。ガイドに日本語が話せる可愛いデュアドラさんがいて、安心して楽しめました。

The Japanese guide starts at 10 AM.
You board the boat from the HGVC pier and head out to the submarine.
It's a 10-minute cruise, but you can see Waikiki from the ocean side, which is quite nice.

We dive to a depth of 100 feet, so you can see a lot of fish.
There are efforts made to attract the fish, and there was even a quite large turtle.

My 83-year-old mother also enjoyed it very much.
I think it's very worthwhile.

日本語ガイドは朝10時から開始です。
HGVCの桟橋からボートに乗って沖に出てサブマリンに乗船します。
10分ほどのクルーズですがワイキキを海側から見る事ができて
こちらもなかなかです。

深度100Fまで潜水しますので、かなり多くのお魚を見る事ができます。
魚を集める工夫がされており、かなり大きなカメまでいました。

83歳の母もとても楽しんでいました。
とても価値があると思います。

We participated as a family of three. The sea was beautiful, and we played volleyball on the water, which was a fun first experience. Luckily, we also got to see sea turtles, which was great. I was impressed by the staff's kind and attentive service. Oh, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious too. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

家族3人で参加しました。海は綺麗で、海の上でバレーボールをしましたが初めての経験で楽しかったです。運良く海亀も見られて良かったです。
また、スタッフの方々の親切でしっかりした対応には感心しました。あっお昼食のハンバーガーも美味かったですよ。機会が有ればまた参加したいと思います。

First time in Hawaii and wanted to make sure we had a fun and exciting time. Once I saw this shark cage activity, I knew we had to try it since we are so outgoing. North shore have the best crew members who know what they are doing. They make you feel calm and secure. It was such a great experience being in the cage and seeing the sharks swim around up close. We were able to get amazing photos with our go-pro and a lifetime of memories. Plus bragging rights of swimming with sharks. Highly recommended if you love water and sharks!

Great food, great service, friendly and attentive staff. The show was awesome would love to do it again when we come back in 2019!!

There was a bit of a delay in the pickup, but the driver was very nice, which was great! The couple we were with were all good people, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

なかなかお迎えが来ないハプニングもありましたがドライバーさんがとても良い人でよかったです！
ご一緒したカップルの方たちも皆いい人でとても良い経験になりました

This company operates only in English. We went quite far out to sea by boat, and I got seasick. Even if you think you're fine, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. The boat really sways, and if there are many participants, it can be tough being on the boat for a long time. Still, we were able to go parasailing safely! Since I had mentioned beforehand that it was our honeymoon, we received several water landing services... Compared to the other participants, my husband and I ended up completely soaked, haha. If you ask for photos, they take a lot of fun pictures. For $30, you get the data on an SD card. There was a moment to tip the staff, but I only had $30 with me and couldn't pay. I'm sorry... I don't know what height everyone else signed up for, but we flew quite high. Honestly, I feel like the staff doesn't keep track of which group signed up for which height. If you’re okay with heights and want to enjoy the thrill of landing in the water, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

こちらの会社は英語のみです。船でかなり沖まで行くのですが私は酔いました。大丈夫と思ってても酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。本当に揺れますし参加者が多い場合ずっと船の上なのでキツイです。それでも無事パラセーリングは出来ました！ハネムーンということを事前に伝えていたので何回も着水サービスがありました…他の参加者に比べて私達夫婦は全身びしょ濡れになりました笑 写真を頼むと面白い写真いっぱい撮ってくれます。$30でSDカードでデータくれます。スタッフさんにチップをあげるタイミングもありましたが持ち合わせが$30しかなく払えませんでした。ごめんなさい。。それぞれどの高さで申し込んでいたのかわかりませんがかなり高い位置まで飛びました。正直スタッフさんがどのグループがどの高さで申し込んでいるのか把握してない気がします。高いとこ大丈夫で着水スリルを楽しみたい方はぜひ体験してみてください！

Even if you don't understand English, you can manage to understand through the instructor's gestures. Also, the board is large and stable, so I think anyone can ride it once they get the hang of it.

英語が分からなくてもインストラクターの方のジェスチャーでなんとか理解できます。また、ボードが大きく安定しているため、コツさえつかめば誰でも乗ることが出来ると思います。

When we arrived at the sandbar, it started to rain, and we couldn't see the sandbar in its original form. However, compared to the surrounding sea, the color was clearly different and very beautiful.

サンドバーに着くと雨が降り出し、本来のサンドバーの姿を見ることが出来ませんでした。ただ、周りの海と比べて、明らかに色が異なりすごく綺麗でした。

I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or if it's because Americans are like that, but at first, they provided serious instruction, but in the second half, only one out of three was actually teaching while the others were chatting. I heard that we would finish around 3 PM, but we wrapped up by 2 PM, and I wanted to surf more.

たまたまなのか、アメリカ人はそういう民族の人たちということなのかわかりませんが、最初の方は真面目に指導してくれましたが、後半は雑談をして3人中1人しか指導してくれませんでした。
解散も15時くらいと聞いていたのに14時には解散をして、もっとサーフィンしたかったです。

I only had the image of playing at Waikiki Beach when thinking of Oahu, but there are tours that allow you to experience the grandeur of nature, such as mountains and forests. Additionally, for movie lovers, this is an irresistible activity, and my husband and I were extremely excited just to be able to visit the filming locations of Jurassic Park, which we both love.

Here are my impressions in bullet points:
- I was thrilled to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World in person. In particular, it was exhilarating to explore the sets that were used for filming while riding in a jeep. (Entering the cage of the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World and seeing the claw marks on the walls that were left from the time of filming was the most exciting part.)
- The ocean tour on the cruise was beautiful, and the splashes felt wonderful. We also saw quite a few sea turtles, which was exciting.
- For those who are not interested in movie locations, there are activities at Secret Beach, and you can also ride buggies through the magnificent nature, so I think you can still have a great time. We didn't choose the buggy activity, but watching the tour guests riding buggies next to us made me really envious. It looked like so much fun.

オアフ島と行ったらワイキキビーチで遊ぶというイメージしかなかったが、山や森などの自然も壮大さを体験できるツアー。
また、映画好きにはたまらないアクティビティであり、私たち夫婦は共にジュラシックパークが大好きなのでそのロケ地を見て回れるという時点で最高に興奮した。

↓箇条書きで感想。
・ジュラシックパーク、ジュラシックワールドのロケ地を生で観れたこと。
　とくに、ロケ地で使ったセットがそのまま残っていてその中をジープに乗って探索することができとても興奮した。
（ジュラシックワールドのインドミナスレックスの檻の中に入れて、壁の爪痕なども映画当時のものがそのまま残っておりこれが一番興奮した）
・クルーズに乗っての海上ツアーでは海がとても綺麗でしぶきがとても気持ち良かった。
　また、ウミガメもかなり見れてこれも興奮した。
・映画ロケにまったく興味ない人は、シークレットビーチのアクティビティがあったり、
バギーに乗って壮大な自然を疾走するのもあるのでそれでも十分楽しめると思う。
我々はバギーのアクティビティは選択しなかったのだが、横でバギーで走っているツアー客を見ていたらすごい羨ましくなった。とても気持ちよさそうだと思う。

First time to the islands for my fiancee and I, and we weren't sure on what to do. So many different activities and excursions to choose from, it's like how do you know which one to do???
Well, we are sure glad we chose this one!!! So much fun in every aspect!! The scenery is amazing in itself so it was hard to complain. But the tour was awesome, we loved hanging out at the sandbar, having a few drinks, taking great pictures, and playing volleyball. Oh and the lunch....seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had!! Then snorkeling on the reef was so much fun!! Got to see so much marine life and also the sea turtles!! But most of all what made the tour truly amazing, was the awesome staff! They made us feel so welcome!! They were super friendly, truly knowledgeable, and all around good people.
If their is one thing I took away from this tour is that, the staff/people make it truly wonderful. This tour is a MUST is you're going to Oahu.

This was the most fun few hours. The snorkeling was great and the guides very knowledgeable and fun. I loved it

The driver was very kind, and I had a great time in the car! The parasailing went really high, and it was astonishing, but I enjoyed it! It was totally fine even though I couldn't speak English. 😊

ドライバーの方もとても親切で、すごい車内から楽しませてもらいました！パラセイリングはすごく上まで上がり、驚愕でしたが、楽しませてもらえました！英語話せなくても全然大丈夫でした(^^)

I was very moved to be able to see dolphins up close in the ocean. At one point, a small child started crying, but thanks to that, it seemed like the dolphins came closer, and I was able to experience their gentleness as well. 😊

イルカを海に入って間近で見ることができてとても感動しました。途中小さいお子さんが泣いてしまったのですが、そのおかげでイルカが近くに寄ってきてくれたみたいで、イルカの優しさにも触れられました(^^)

In the wide grasslands, I leisurely enjoyed time with my horse and friends. From the top of the hill, I could see Turtle Bay. The guide was also very kind and provided great assistance.

広い草原の中を、ゆったりと馬と友達に。丘の上からはタートルベイが見えました。
ガイドさんも優しく案内してくれ、とてもよかったです。

It rained a little the day before, so the water was a bit murky, but the sea was beautiful! The tide was almost high, with water up to chest height, but it felt great! It's reassuring that someone speaks Japanese to guide us! I want to participate again!

前日に少し雨が降って、少し濁っていましたが、海は綺麗でした♡
ほぼ満潮で胸の高さくらいまで水がありましたが、気持ちよかったです！
日本語の方が案内してくださるので安心です！！
また参加したいです(๑'◡͐'๑)

After reading the reviews, I took motion sickness medication, but after a while of flying, I experienced hyperventilation and nausea, which was tough. Out of the five groups with ten people, I was the only one who got sick (laughs). The others seemed to be having a great time (laughs).

Once the boat leaves, whether you feel like throwing up or lose consciousness, you can't go back to land. Especially after flying, your voice and gestures can't reach anyone, and you're just at their mercy.

However, the scenery was amazing! Up in the air, it was calm, and if you were just flying normally, there wouldn't be any turbulence. But we were shaken quite a bit, which made us feel sick.

I personally won't do it again, but if you're interested and confident you won't get sick, definitely give it a try!

レビューを読んで、酔い止めを飲んだんですが、飛んでしばらくしたら過呼吸プラス吐き気で大変でしたo((＞_＜))o
私たち含め5組10名の参加で、酔ったのは私だけ（笑）
他の方たちはすごく楽しそうでした（笑）

船が出ると吐こうが意識を失おうが陸には戻れません。
ましてや飛んだ後は声もジェスチャーも届かず、されるがままです(´-﹏-`；)

でも、景色は最高でした！
上空は静かで、普通に飛ばされてるだけなら揺れはないです。が、かなり揺らされます。私たちはそれで酔いました(´-﹏-`；)

私はもぉ2度とやらないけど、興味ある方で酔わない自信がある方はぜひやってみてください(๑'◡͐'๑)

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we immediately enjoyed a sunset cruise. There were about 20 people, but only two of us were Japanese. We quickly got into the Hawaii mood, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful, leaving us absolutely thrilled. Since we weren't very hungry on the day we arrived, a light snack was more than enough. The crew members were bright and cheerful, and they talked to us a lot, which was great. There is absolutely no need to participate in a luxury cruise.

ハワイに着いた日に、即、サンセットクルーズを満喫。
20人程いましたが、日本人は私たち2人。一気にハワイモードになり、
かつ、サンセットがすごく綺麗で、最高に感激。
着いた日は、そんなに空腹感はないので、軽食で十分でした。
クルーの人たちは、明るく陽気で、一杯話しかけてくれて、
大変良かったです。豪華クルーズに参加する必要は全くないです。

I came to Hawaii with my two daughters, and it was our first time parasailing. My daughters are afraid of heights, but the staff were so fun that we had a great experience. If we have the chance, I would like to do it again. Thank you very much.

娘２人とハワイに来て、初のパラセイリングでした。高所恐怖症の娘達でしたが、楽しいスタッフのかただったので楽しく体験できました。機会があれば、又やりたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

My wife and I had a great time. The scenery was amazing and we got some really good pictures. The food was really good also.

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.

到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました
