All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

I recommend allowing plenty of time to get there. It takes about an hour from Waikiki, so it would be good to arrive at the location with some extra time! The last time I was late, there was no refund and no horseback riding for me.

時間にゆとりをもって向かうことをオススメします。ワイキキから1時間はかかるので余裕をもって現地に入れるといいですね！
以前遅行した際は返金なし、乗馬もなしになりました。

My daughter (13 years old) and I went parasailing together. Since my daughter was about to start her monthly cycle, we made an early morning reservation (8:00) two days after arriving in Hawaii. It was so much fun that we were laughing the whole time. The experience lasted about six and a half minutes, which was longer than I expected, and that was great. Up in the air, it was incredibly quiet, and we could see Diamond Head very well. I think early morning is better since it might be hot during the day. We also got photos for $30, which I plan to use for our New Year's cards. I enjoy high places and roller coasters, but I didn't feel nauseous at all while on the boat or parasailing.

娘(13歳)と2人でパラセイリングしました。娘が月に一度の女の子の日が来そうだったので、ハワイ到着後に早朝予約(8:00)で前々日に予約取れました。楽しすぎて、ずーっと笑いっぱなしでした。開始から終了までは6分半位で思っていたより長くてよかったです。上空では、凄く静かでダイヤモンドヘッドもよくみえました。多分昼間の時間帯は暑いので早朝がいいと思います。写真($30)もSDでもらい年賀状に使おうと思います。高い所、ジェットコースターも好きな方ですが、ボートもパラセイリングも酔う様な感じでは無かったです。

We participated in this cruise as the start of my cousin's bachelor party and boy what a great way to start it out! The catamaran was so cool, there was plenty of room for everyone, the staff was helpful and very friendly, and the views were breathtaking. We even saw a sea turtle at the end! The staff made it so fun and made some pretty good drinks to boot. The appetizers were not great, but that is not why we were on the cruise. It was a relaxing and easy cruise right off the pier and around Diamond Head. The sunset views were beautiful. I would highly recommend taking a sunset Waikiki Sail on the Spirit of Aloha.

At first, I thought it would be scary, but once I tried it, it was not scary at all, and the view was really beautiful! I was partially submerged in the sea, which was also very fun and became a great memory! The staff entertained us with various conversations!

最初はこわいと思っていたけれど飛んでみたら全然怖くなくて景色もとてもキレイでした‼
海に少し沈められました。それもとても面白くていい思い出になりました❗スタッフさんはいろいろな喋りで楽しませてくれました❗

I had a very enjoyable experience.
The staff were friendly, and it was fine even though I couldn't speak Japanese.

My daughter and I signed up for 120 meters, while the other family signed up for 150 meters, but when we got there, it didn't seem to matter at all; we were all launched.

It was fun.
I want to do it again.

とても楽しい経験ができました。
スタッフの人も気さくで、日本語通じなくても平気でした。

娘と私は120メートルで、他の家族は150メートルで申し込みましたが、行ってみるとそんなこと全然関係ない感じで、飛ばされます。

楽しかったです。
またやりたいです。

I struggled a bit with using the fins, and at 65 years old, it was challenging, but it was amazing to see everything twice. The event was changed due to the weather, but I got to see sea turtles twice, and I had a fun day. The female staff and the captain were friendly and great.

足ヒレの使い方が上手く出来なく、65才の私にはハードでしたが2度も見れて最高でした。
天候の状況でイベントが変更になりましたが、海ガメにも2度も会えたし、楽しい1日を過ごせました。
スタッフの女性や船長もフレンドリーで最高でした。

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.

When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.

I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"

Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.

日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。
大学さん系の方が良かったかなーと思いました。

船に乗るときは屋根のない後方に座ったほうが色々と参加できて楽しめます。

写真を申し込みましたが、積極的にアピールしに行かないと写してもらえません。
アクテビティを楽しむ時間には「写して〜」とアピールしに行きましょう。

かなりの方が船酔いしていました。
良いお天気だったのですが。
ピックアップのバスの中で買った酔い止めのリストバンド、高いですが、我が家の娘達&私が酔わなかったのはこれのおかげだと思います‼︎普段弱い家族なので。

It was my first time participating, and since it was my first tour to see wild dolphins, I had a great time. However, the content was a bit hard for small children, and I felt it was a little dangerous with too many participants, as fins occasionally hit my face.

初めての参加でしたが、野生のイルカに会えるツアーは初めてだったので楽しかったです。
小さい子供にはちょっとハードな内容だったのと、
参加者母数が少々多く、フィンが顔に当たるなどちょっと危険かなと感じました。

The staff was friendly. The weather was nice too, which helped create great memories flying with my kids. I don't think it's something we can do often, but we had a wonderful time talking about places like Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head with the kids.

スタッフが感じよかった。天気もよかったせいもありますが子供と飛んでいい思い出ができました。何度も翔ようなものではないと思いますが、ワイキキビーチ・ダイアモンドヘッドなど、子供とあそこがどーのとか話しながらいい時間がすごせました。

It's great to have guidance in Japanese, and the Hawaiian jokes are fun too. We drove around the jungle in a speeding Jeep and visited plants at a farm and ranch. In the afternoon, my younger child suddenly needed to go to the bathroom, which made us late for the movie tour, and the bus we had reserved left without us. However, the ticket center quickly arranged for the next bus. We were super excited at the entrance to Jurassic Park. The facilities are very accommodating, which is reassuring. The program is friendly for families with children. However, the early morning is a bit tough. With a 7:10 AM pickup, I had to wake up at least by 6 AM. Since breakfast was at 7, I gave up and woke up at 5:30 to make porridge in the hotel kitchen. If the program could be adjusted, it would be nice to have a menu with one in the morning and two in the afternoon.

日本語で案内してもらえるのと、ハワイアンジョーク？がまた楽しい。疾走するジープでジャングルをまわったり、農園や牧場で植物を見学したり。午後、下の子が急にトイレに行きたがって、映画ツアーの時間に遅れてしまい、予約してたバスは行ってしまったんですが、チケットセンターですぐ次のバスを手配してくれました。ジュラシックパークの入り口？セットに大興奮。施設内は、至れり尽くせりで、安心ですね。子供連れにはやさしいプログラムです。ただし、朝早いのがちょっとしんどい。7時10分ピックアップだと、朝は最低でも６時起床です。朝食が7時からだったので、諦めて、私だけ５時半に起きてホテルのキッチンで雑炊作りました。プログラムを調整できるんだったら、朝一つ、午後二つ、とかのメニューがあっても良いのでは。

Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.

サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高！４歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。

Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.
Had about 2.5 hours of snorkeling fun.

Waianae Beach
The ocean was very clear, and I was truly impressed.
I was able to see many dolphins. Their sounds were also audible, and they were really cute.

Makaha Beach
I went snorkeling and saw many sea turtles and small fish swimming around.
Makaha Beach felt like a place that wasn't a typical tourist spot; it was a laid-back beach that I definitely want to visit again.
After enjoying snorkeling at this beach, you can also try stand-up paddleboarding.

Stand-up paddleboarding was exciting and fun, but there was a bit of a rotation system with the vibe of "Okay, you did one round. You stood up! (Next!)", so I felt there was a bit less freedom.

Even so! I thought it was truly valuable to have that much fun and relax just in the morning.

It had a different atmosphere compared to the typical spots like Waikiki, North Shore, and Kailua. I think it's a direction that we don't often go to on our own, but I highly recommend it. I'm really glad I participated!

イルカ・ワイアナエビーチ
海がとてもクリアで感動しました。
たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
鳴き声も聞こえたりして、本当に可愛かったです。

カメさん・マカハビーチ
海ガメや小さな魚がたくさん泳いでいるところをシュノーケルしました。
マカハビーチは、観光地！という感じではない、
のんびりとしたビーチでぜひまた行きたい思う場所でした。
ここのビーチでシュノーケリングを楽しんだ後はサップができます。

サップは盛り上がって楽しかったのですが、交代制で
「はい、１周したね。立てたね！（次！）」という雰囲気が
なんとな～くあったので
自由度が少なかったように思います。

それでも！午前中だけであれだけ楽しめてのんびり過ごせて本当に価値があると思いました。

ワイキキ・ノースショア・カイルアなど定番のスポットとは一味ちがう雰囲気でした。なかなか自分たちの足では行くことが少ない方面だと思うのですが、すごくお勧めです。本当に参加してよかった！

I made a reservation thinking I would swim with dolphins that are accustomed to being fed and cared for by humans, but it was completely different. We entered the vast ocean where dolphins live naturally, and to avoid stressing them, we observed them while swimming at the surface. It was truly moving. Seeing the cute dolphins swimming gracefully underwater somehow brightened my heart and made me feel happy! I highly recommend it! After that, we also encountered a group of giant turtles, which was very healing!

飼育され餌付けされた人間に慣れているイルカと泳ぐのかなあ？くらいの気持ちで予約したのですが、全然違って、全くの自然に生息しているイルカさんたちの大海原にお邪魔して、水中を泳ぐイルカさんたちにストレスをかけないように、人間は水面を泳ぎなら観察するというスタイルで、とても感動しました。海中をスイスイ泳いでいるイルカさんたちのかわいい姿、見たら不思議と、心が明るくなってハッピイになれますよ～お勧めです❗この後、巨大亀さんの群れにも遭遇、癒されました～❗

I participated at the request of my elementary school child. The best part was getting to see the turtles. There were also photos for sale, which were expensive, but I bought one because it turned out well. Additionally, it was nice that the pressure inside the submarine was constant, so my ears didn't hurt.

小学生の子供の希望で、参加しました。亀に会えたのが1番嬉しかったです。写真の販売もあり、高いですが写りが良く購入しました。また、潜水艦の中は気圧が一定で耳が痛くならなかったのが良かったです。

I woke up early and waited at the designated pickup location, but even after 15 minutes past the scheduled time, no one came to pick me up. I called the phone number provided, but I reached a voicemail saying "outside of business hours." The hotel staff called several times for me, and I finally got through, but by that point, it was already 30 minutes past the pickup time. During the conversation with the staff, they mentioned they "forgot" and suggested I join a tour two hours later. They also said, "As an apology, we will give you a T-shirt," but... I had plans with a friend afterward, but since I was already there, I had my friend change their plans so I could join the tour two hours later. I never received the promised T-shirt, and I ended up causing a lot of inconvenience to the hotel staff and my friend. The response of "I forgot" was just too careless. I would like a refund. The tour itself wasn't very impressive, and the sea was rough, causing the boat to sway, and it was uncomfortable even inside the cage due to high waves. Including the service, I cannot recommend this. Also, I made the reservation here considering the reputation and reliability of Veltra, so I hope Veltra does not list such careless tour operators.

早起きして指定のピックアップ場所で待ちましたが、時間を15分過ぎても迎えが来なかった為、記載されていた電話番号に電話をしましたが、“営業時間外”との留守番電話で繋がらず。
ホテルスタッフも何度か電話してくれて、やっと繋がりましたが、この時点でピックアップ時刻を30分も過ぎていました。
スタッフとのやり取りで「忘れてた」との事で、2時間後のツアーに参加を勧められました。
またこの時、「お詫びにTシャツを差し上げます」と言われていたのですが…。
このあと友人と予定があったのですが、せっかくだし、友人にあとの予定を変更してもらって2時間後のツアーに参加しました。
約束されていたTシャツは頂ける事はなかったし、ホテルスタッフ、友人など沢山の方に迷惑をかけてしまう事になりました。
とにかく「忘れてた」とか対応がいい加減過ぎます。
返金して頂きたいぐらいです。
ツアー自体も迫力はそんなにありませんし、海が荒れて舟が揺れるのはもちろん、ゲージの中でも高波で苦しいです。対応も含め、おすすめできません。
また、自分自身、ベルトラの知名度や信頼度も含めてこちらで予約させて頂いているので、ベルトラもこのようないい加減なツアー催行会社は掲載しないで頂きたいです。

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!

家族４人で参加しました。８月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド（両手首）を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。（バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした！）シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン！と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのﾊﾞｽの中で写真（＄６０）申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました！

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. The explanation was only in English, but it was sufficient. The snorkeling lasted about 30 minutes, which was enough for us. The yacht ride afterwards was very refreshing with the splashes of water. Riding on the yacht became a great memory. The captain was really cool. It departs from Waikiki and returns in the morning, so I recommend it.

夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人は私達だけでした。説明は英語だけでしたが、それなりに？
シュノーケリングは30分位でしたが、私達には十分でした。
そのあとのヨットは波しぶきをあげて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ヨットに乗れたことがいい思い出になりました。すごくかっこいいキャプテンでした。
ワイキキから出発で午前には帰るのでおすすめです。

It was amazing.
I think it depends on the weather that day, but I encountered a lot of dolphins! The sea turtles also passed right in front of me multiple times, which was touching. However, it was sad to see that the tour guests got too close, making it difficult for the turtles to come up for air...
We also signed up with my grandparents, and people of all ages can enjoy it! I hope we are lucky enough to meet dolphins again next time!

最高でした。
その日その時の天候などに左右されると思いますが、とても沢山のイルカに出会えました！
ウミガメも、目の前を何度も通ってくれて感動。ただ、ツアー客の方々が近づき過ぎてウミガメが息継ぎしにくそうでかわいそうでしたが…
お爺ちゃんお婆ちゃんも一緒に申し込みましたが、どの世代も楽しめます！また次もイルカに出会える運に恵まれますように！

I participated in a different tour this time. At first, the English explanation was hard to understand, and I was really worried if I would be able to ride. However, I was able to ride from the first time. Since I had my first experience two years ago, I wonder if my body remembered it? I was able to fully enjoy the time until the end, and since it takes time to get to the waves, there was no need to wait even with a large group; the group lesson was more than enough.

前回と違うツアーに参加しました。最初英語の説明でわかりにくく本当に乗れるのかな？と不安でしたが１回目から乗れました。二年前に初めて経験していたので体も覚えていたのかな？あとは時間まで十分に満喫できました、波のところまで行くのに時間もかかるので大勢でも待つことはなくグループレッスンで十分ですよ。

I was able to see many sea turtles both from the boat and at the sandbar. The staff were friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time.

船上からもサンドバーについても多くのウミガメに会うことができました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup after arrival was also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

I attended my eldest son's wedding on Oahu. We played volleyball at the sandbar and had a snorkeling encounter with a turtle. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers, and our guide, Yuki, along with my son, Riza, helped create wonderful memories.

長男の結婚式でオアフ島に来てての参加でした。サンドバーでのバレーボール、シュノーケリングでカメとの出会い。美味しいハンバーガー、ガイドのユキさん、息子のライザ君、楽しい思い出作りができました。

All the guided snorkeling tours were booked, so we decided to just book the shuttle to Hanauma Bay and do our own snorkeling excursion. It worked out perfectly! The driver arrived at the pick up location on time, was polite and personable, and we didn't have to get up super early to snag a parking spot before the lot filled up. And the snorkeling was great!

This was a tour I had heard about from an acquaintance and absolutely wanted to try. It may seem simple to paddle out with a canoe and ride the waves back, but it’s incredibly fun. It takes about 30 minutes, so it's a great way to make some good memories when you have a little free time. I highly recommend it!

これは知り合いから聞いていて絶対やりたいと思っていたツアーでした。
カヌーで沖までこいで波に乗って帰ってくる単純に思えますが最高に楽しいです。
時間にして３０分くらいなのでちょっと時間が空いた時に参加すると良い思い出になりますよ。
おすすめです！

Had a blast. Crew is awesome and very helpful. Would definitely use this company again.

This was an excellent ride and tour! Wish we would have booked it for longer than one hour. FUN had by all!!!

On the flight there, I previewed "King Kong" and "The Lost World," and with that lingering feeling, it truly felt like I had stepped into the world of the movies. The guide for the movie bus tour was interesting, and the food was delicious.
For horseback riding, the site mentioned a height requirement of over 140 cm, but the paper distributed on the bus stated it was over 137 cm. Since my son is 138 cm, I thought I should have signed up for the tour that included horseback riding instead of the one that didn't.

行きの飛行機の中で「コング」と「ロストワールド」を予習してので、その余韻もあって、本当に映画の中の世界に紛れ込んだようでした。映画バスツアーのガイドさんの話も面白く、食事も美味しかったです。
乗馬は、サイトには140cm以上と書いてありましたが、バスの中で配られたアトラクションを選ぶ紙には、137cm以上と書いてあり、息子は138cmだったので、乗馬を含まないツアーで申し込んだのに、それなら乗馬がある方で申し込めば良かったなと思いました。

The photos are very beautiful, and I was able to fully enjoy the sea and sky of Hawaii. However, since the sea can be a bit rough, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

お写真もとっても綺麗でハワイの海と空を堪能できました。ただ海が少し荒いので酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
