All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.

This activity was okay. It was hard to see the dolphins when they did swim near us underwater because we had to wear life vests which kept us at the surface. The snorkeling in this side of the island(at least the part we were taken to)is not as good as other parts. The crew was nice and the food at the restaurant was good. I was not happy that one of our fellow passengers took one of our beach towels. They belonged to the condo we were staying in and I had to replace it.

The school was great. We caught lots of waves and Adam was a great instructor.

We had great time with our kids!!
Awesome! We have met sea turtles and my kids and nephews enjoyed very much.
And we had dancers and danced with a crew. lol
Thanks!

My son and his friends said this was one of their highlights, only second to renting scooters but they are just 21:). Thanks for making their time memorable!

We participated in creating family memories for my daughter's 10th birthday present. The morning pickup point was somewhat scattered, and our house was about a 7 to 10-minute walk away. The bus was comfortable, and the explanations from the Japanese instructor were very easy to understand, which was great. There were 45 participants that day, and since it was during summer vacation, there were 12 children under 12 years old.

When we arrived at the port, we quickly spotted dolphins on the stable Tamakalan boat, but perhaps because of the large size of the boat, we couldn't get close to the dolphins. Maybe the smaller Dolphin Junior boat is more maneuverable? We tried to enter the water ahead of the direction the dolphins were swimming, but since 45 people splashed in at once, the dolphins swam away, and we desperately swam towards them. During the first entry, I was able to catch a glimpse of them by closely following the instructor, but it was only for about 10 seconds. That day, instead of the usual two entries, we made three, but in the end, my daughter and husband couldn't see any dolphins... It turned into a disappointing memory.

However, the accompanying photographer was very cheerful and lively, which made it a lot of fun, but the photos he took cost $60 per group. We ended up spending quite a bit. Because we made three entries, we didn't have time for snorkeling, and we couldn't do any marine activities. I think our satisfaction would have been much higher if we had encountered the dolphins, so it's very disappointing.

For our family of four, including the photo costs, it came to 60,000 yen. I was aware that there was a possibility of not seeing them since they are wild animals, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't see them in the water even though we could confirm they were so close.

娘の１０歳お誕生日プレゼントとして家族の思い出作りに参加しました。
朝のピックアップポイントはざっくりと分かれており、我が家は徒歩７〜１０分歩いたところでした。バスは快適で、日本人インストラクターの方の説明がとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。この日は４５名の参加があり、夏休み中ということもあり１２歳以下の子供が１２人参加。
港に着くと、揺れの少ないタマカランボートに乗ってイルカはすぐに見つかりましたが、大きいボートのせいかなかなかイルカに近づけず。イルカ中学のボートのほうが小回りが利くのでしょうか？イルカが泳いでくる方向に先回りしてエントリーしましたが、４５人がバシャバシャ飛び込んだせいか、イルカが離れていってしまい、イルカのほうまで必死に泳ぎました。１回目のエントリーではインストラクターの後をすぐについていったのでちらっと見ることができましたが１０秒程度。この日、通常２回のところ、３回エントリーしましたが、結局、娘と夫はイルカを見ることができず。。。しょっぱい思い出作りになりました。
ただ同行していたカメラマンの方がとても陽気で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しかったのですが、撮ってくれた写真は１グループ６０＄。すっかり散財してしまいました。
３回エントリーしたことで、スノーケリングの時間もなくなり、マリンアクティビティもできずじまい。イルカと遭遇できていたら満足度が高かったと思うのですが、とても残念です。
家族４人で写真代をいれて６万円。自然のものなので会えない可能性があるのは承知の上でしたが、すぐそばに確認できたのに海の中で見られなかったことがとても残念でした。

I was disappointed when I requested arrangements from a travel agency at the last minute and was told it was too late. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to Veltra, and I managed to book a tour just in time. When I arrived at the destination, I went to the meeting point near the hotel. While waiting nervously among many tour participants, I spotted a bus with a sign for "Angel's Sea." After confirming the name, we headed to the boat dock. We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandy beach, where I snorkeled with many other Japanese tourists. After swimming for an hour, we went cruising to see turtles and encountered many of them. Finally, I put on fins and a life jacket to snorkel around the coral with children aged 6, 10, and 12. We were able to see tropical fish. The hamburgers they grilled for us at the barbecue were incredibly satisfying and delicious. I had a wonderful time and would love to go again.

旅行ギリで旅行会社へ手配依頼をするともう遅すぎると断られ、残念におもっていると知り合いからベルトラの紹介をお受け申し込み滑り込みセーフ。現地では、ホテル近くの集合場所へ行きました。沢山のツアー集客場でドキドキしながらまっているとバスに天使の海の看板を発見。名前を確認しいざ船乗り場へ。船に乗りサンドビーチに到着。沢山の日本人と一緒スノーケリング。1時間泳ぎ亀を見にクルージング 沢山の亀達に遭遇できました。最後は、足ヒレやライフジャケットと着込んで6歳、10歳、12歳の子供たちとサンゴ周辺のスノーケリングを体験。熱帯の魚達を見ることができました。バーベキューで焼いてくれたハンバーガーも肉圧がすごく食べごたえ十分。楽しいひと時を過ごせました。また、行きたい

I wanted to experience horseback riding in a breathtaking setting, so I visited Kualoa just for that. It seems that the routes for the one-hour course and the two-hour course are completely different. I participated in the one-hour course, but I can't help but wonder if the two-hour course offers even more stunning views. I felt that the one-hour course was a bit lacking. Since we just walked slowly behind the horse in front of us, I ended up feeling sleepy along the way. (Though it was pleasant in its own way...) If I have the chance next time, I definitely want to challenge myself with the two-hour course.

絶景の中で乗馬体験をしたいと思い、乗馬の為だけにクアロアを訪れました。
１時間コースと２時間コースでは、ルートが全く違うようです。
１時間コースに参加しましたが、２時間コースの方が絶景なのでは無いかと思いとても気になります。
１時間コースは、少し物足りなかった様な気がします。
ゆっくりと前の馬について歩くだけなので、途中で眠くなってしまいました。
（それはそれで気持ちよいのですが・・・）
次回があれば、是非２時間にチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

This excursion was one to definitely be remembered! A fun day is in store from the moment you leave the marina. The crew is full of fun people that are always making sure their guests are having a great time. The sandbar stop was fun filled with Hawaiian volleyball with the crew and other guests onboard. The lunch that was served before the reef snorkel was also great. At the private reef we saw a monk seal and also a ton of turtles and fish. We would love to do this trip again!

The instructor's enthusiasm to show everyone the dolphins was incredible, and they extended the time to chase the dolphins, allowing us to see them multiple times. The most touching moment was when three dolphins swam right beneath us! ♪ Because of the extension, the snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) we had planned later were combined into one activity, so my husband chose SUP while I chose snorkeling. I was able to enjoy cheering for my husband on the surface while snorkeling. Since these are wild dolphins, we can't always swim with them, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.＾＾

参加者のみんなにイルカを見せようというインストラクターさんの熱意がすごくて、イルカを追う時間を延長して何度も見せてくれました。
丁度自分たちの真下を３匹のイルカが泳いで行った時が一番近くて感動しました♪
その延長のために、後に計画していたシュノーケリングとサップの時間が一緒になり、どちらかひとつの参加となりましたが、夫はサップを、私はシュノーケリングを選び、シュノーケリングの傍らサップしてる夫を水面から応援して楽しむことが出来ました。
野生のイルカなので、常に一緒に泳げるわけではありませんが、十分に楽しいツアーでした。＾＾

Even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on the board in just one try! The teaching method and guidance were so good that I was truly impressed. There was also a girl around 5 years old from the same school standing up next to me, and she was actually better than us! At the end, they gave us a CD-R with photos (for free), and they took quite a few pictures, which really increased my satisfaction!

初めてでも一回でたてる！教え方、押し方？が上手なのか初めてでも立てて感動しました。横では同じスクールの5歳くらい？の女の子も立てていました(^^)むしろ私たちより上手でした。
最後に写真をCD-Rをプレゼント(無料)してくれ結構たくさん写真撮ってて下さっていてさらに満足値があがりました！

My first parasailing experience! I was a bit scared by the height, but I enjoyed seeing Diamond Head and the beautiful ocean! ♡

初めてのパラセーリング！思った以上の高さにビビりながらも、ダイヤモンドヘッドが見えたり、海がキレイで楽しめました♡

My first trip to Hawaii. And it was a solo journey. I was able to swim together during two out of three dives! After that, I enjoyed marine sports and went snorkeling again. I wish I had taken motion sickness medication. The staff were bright, reliable, and made me feel safe!

初のハワイ。そして一人旅。3回のダイブで2回一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました‼︎その後はマリンスポーツで楽しんだりまたシュノーケリングしたりと満喫できます。酔い止め飲んでいれば良かったです。スタッフの皆さん明るく頼もしく安心でした‼︎

The tour was very smooth, with no wasted time, and we had a great time. The kids were also thrilled and want to experience it again. The guide spoke English, but there were explanations written on paper in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

ツアーはとてもスムーズで無駄な時間がなくすごく楽しめました。
また体験したいと子供達も大喜びでした。
ガイドは英語ですが、説明が書いた用紙には日本語で書かれたものがあり
分かりやすかったです。

It was our first time riding and Collette was amazing. She was very helpful and made us comfortable. She was nice enough to take lots of pictures of us on the beach. The horses were gentle and it was a great experience.

You should definitely sign up for this tour! The ocean is beautiful, and the tour content is very satisfying. There were families with children, so it's enjoyable for everyone.

このツアーは絶対申し込んだ方がいいです！
海はきれいだし、ツアー内容も大満足です。子供連れもいたので家族で楽しめます

I often stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I had never seen a luau before and experienced it for the first time. The meal was a buffet with a variety of dishes, and it was delicious and filling. The luau show was also great.

There is a recommendation to arrive 10 minutes early, but it takes about 40 minutes from the start of admission to completion, and since it’s still sunny at that time, if you go too early, it can be hot and the wait time is long. I felt there was no need to rush.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにはよく泊まるのですが
ルアウは見たことがなく、初めて体験しました。
食事はビュッフェ形式でいろいろなメニューがあり
おいしくお腹いっぱいになりました。
ルアウショーも良かったです。

会場には10分前に来るように案内がありますが
入場を開始してから完了するまで40分ぐらいかかり、
まだ日も照っている時間なので早く行くと暑くて待ち時間が長いです。
急いで行く必要はないと思いました。

The guide on the way to Angel's Sea was really entertaining. He seemed like a local character and was good at playing the guitar (singing "bye-bye WAIKIKI♪ bye-bye ABC MART♪"). It was a playful jab at the fact that you can't walk around Waikiki without running into an ABC Mart, but there were none on this tour. The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers, fries, and pink grapefruit juice on the boat. The taste was decent. Whether Angel's Sea is beautiful depends on the weather. During the sea turtle watch, we were taken to a spot with a high sighting rate, and we actually saw some! I think the cost performance is better than going on our own!

天使の海の道中のおっちゃん（ガイドさん）が面白かったです。名物おじさんのようで、ギターも上手でした（「bye-bye　WAIKIKI～♪bye-bye　ABC MART～♪」）（笑：ワイキキにワイキキでは歩けばABCマートにあたる、でしたが、このツアー野行く先には一つもないことを揶揄したもの）BBQランチは、船上でのハンバーガーとポテトとピンクグレープフルーツジュースでした。味はそこそこ。天使の海がきれいかどうかはお天気次第です。ウミガメウオッチでは、出没率が高いとこ炉に連れて行ってもらえ、実際、見られました！自分たちで行くより、コスパは高いと思われます◎！

This is interesting. It has a moderate thrill and a bit of adventure. Each of the eight attractions has its own characteristics, and the two and a half hours flew by. Since it's located in the North, I definitely recommend renting a car and spending the day exploring places like Haleiwa afterward.

これは面白いです。適度なスリルとちょっとした冒険。また、8本それぞれ特徴があり、2時間半という時間もあっという間に過ぎていきました。ノースにあるので、是非、レンタカーできて、そのあとは、ハレイワなどの観光を兼ねて１日過ごすのがいいと思います。

I think they choose horses according to the skill level, even for small children who have no riding experience. There is no Japanese guide during the ride, but you can learn the basics on the bus. It seems to be more suitable for advanced riders than the seaside course, but this is where you can enjoy the fun of horseback riding.

乗馬経験がなくても、小さな子供でも、スキルに合わせて馬を選んでくれているんだと思います。乗馬中は日本語ガイドはついてくれませんが、大体の基礎はバスの中で教えてもらえます。おそらく海辺のコースよりも上級者向けのようですが、乗馬の楽しさを味わえるのはこちらでしょうか。

My kids loved it! Would definitely recommend it friends and family!

A ladder was lowered from the boat, and we walked towards the sandbar. On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my waist even in shallow areas, so I carried my child into the sea. Since it was my child's first time at the ocean, they were a bit confused at first, but after a while, they started to enjoy it. The boat was anchored near the sandbar, so we could take breaks whenever we liked.

I’m sorry to say that the light snack sandwiches were not tasty, and I ended up leaving them. The bread tasted a bit sour. My friend who came with me also left theirs.

船からハシゴが下りて、歩いてサンドバーに向かいます。ツアーに参加した日は、浅いところでも腰くらいまで水位があったため、子供は抱っこして海に入りました。子供は初めての海だったため、最初は戸惑っていましたが、しばらくすると楽しんでいました。船はサンドバーの近くに停泊してくれているので、休憩などは好きなタイミングで行えました。

軽食のサンドイッチは申し訳ないですが、美味しくなくて残してしまいました。なんだかパンが酸っぱかったです。一緒に行った友人も残していました。

We had an amazing time and got to see a rare monk seal while having lunch in the boat. Crew was extremely friendly and even shared some great tips on places to visit.

I participated with my mother and aunt. Since it was the day before Independence Day, it was very quiet. We were able to enjoy a graceful cruise. The windows weren't very clean, so the view from inside the boat wasn't great, but it felt really nice when we went outside.

母と叔母と3人で参加しました。独立記念日の前日だったのでとても空いてました。優雅な感じでクルージングが出来ました。窓ガラスがあまり綺麗じゃなかったので船内からの景色はいまいち、でも外に出たらとても気持ち良かったです。

Although we had been snorkeling before this underwater scooter adventure was very unique. It was so much fun we plan to do this again. We have already recommended this to all our friends.

Team was great and super helpful and friendly! Loved the parasailing, we were up for nearly 10-15 minutes and it was great to see Oahu like this. Pickup and return was easy and efficient! Would do it again!

I signed up for a submarine tour since my friend couldn't go diving! It was really fun to see sea turtles and rays. Also, since the commentary was in Japanese during the time I booked, there were many Japanese people, and we didn't have any issues with manners. The person giving the commentary was also entertaining!

If I had to mention one thing, I chose the bus transfer from the hotel, but I noticed that one of the staff members, who I think was probably a part-timer, was chatting a lot with another staff member, which caught my attention. I thought, "Well, this is a foreign country, so maybe it's normal," but it was a little concerning. Other than that, I was very satisfied!

友達がダイビング出来ないため潜水艦ならと思い申し込みしました！ウミガメやエイなども見ることができとても楽しかったです。また、申し込んだ時間帯は日本語での解説だったため日本人も多くマナー等で困ることはありませんでした。解説してる人も面白かったです！
ただ一つ言うならばホテルからバスの送迎付きにしたのですが、スタッフの方が多分バイトの子だと思うのですが違うスタッフとお喋りばかりしていたのが気になりました。外国だしこんなもんかなーとは思いましたが、少し気になりました。それ以外はとても満足しました！

I thought I wouldn't be able to communicate in Japanese when I joined the tour, but it turned out that the guide was a Japanese American, so they kindly provided explanations in Japanese! Since there are many Japanese people in Hawaii, it was refreshing to be on a tour with fewer Japanese participants.

I had my 1.5-year-old child with me, and they were thrilled to see the dolphins. I thought I would have to take turns snorkeling with my husband, but surprisingly, we were able to swim with our child in water deeper than 10 meters. (My husband isn't a strong swimmer, so I went in with them, haha.)

It's recommended to bring a life jacket since even small children can join in. The waves can be high, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be better not to go in with small children.

日本語が通じないと思ってツアーに参加したら、なんとガイドの方が日系アメリカ人ということで、日本語での説明も丁寧にして下さいました！ハワイにいると日本人が多いので、日本人が少ないツアーだったのも新鮮でした。

子供が1歳6ヶ月同伴でしたが、イルカに大はしゃぎ。シュノーケリングは夫と交代でやらないといけないと思っていたのですが、なんと水深10メートル以上のところで、子供と泳がせてもらいました。（夫は泳ぐのが苦手なので、私が一緒に入りました笑）

小さいお子様でも一緒に入れるので、ライフジャケットは持って行っておくのがオススメです！波が高いので、泳ぐのが苦手という方は、小さいお子様とは一緒に入らない方がよいかもしれません。

At first, I was a bit afraid of heights, so I was anxious, but the staff made it enjoyable to ease my worries, and I had an amazing time. I will participate again.

最初、少し高所恐怖症だったので、不安だったが、スタッフが、不安を和らげるように楽しましてくれて、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。 また参加します。

I participated with my child to try to kiss a dolphin. It was my first time touching a dolphin, and it was so smooth and pleasant. During the waiting time, I felt lucky to be able to watch the show up close, seeing them play with balls and jump around. Not only did we get to kiss and shake hands, but at the end, the dolphin splashed us with its tail, which was fun (laughs). The trainer only spoke English, so I didn't understand anything, but we managed somehow (laughs). Other than that, we had to wait a bit long for the bus back, but we had a great time.

イルカさんとキスをしようと、子供と2人で参加してきました。
初めてのイルカさんにタッチでしたがすごくスベスベで気持ちよく、待ち時間もショーを間近で見ているかのようにボールで遊んだり飛んだりしてるところを見られて得した気分を味わえました。
キスと握手だけでなく、最後にはイルカさんに尾びれで水をぶっかけられて楽しいですよ(笑)
トレーナーの方は英語オンリーだったので何言ってるのか全く分かりませんでしたが何とかなりました(笑)
それ以外は帰りのバスまでちょっと時間が長く待ちくたびれてしまいましたが、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
