All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

A friendly Japanese guide took us to a ranch, as well as to Dole Plantation and for garlic shrimp. Despite being occasionally distracted by horses grazing, we enjoyed horseback riding, which is not something you can easily experience in the city, and the garlic shrimp with no waiting time was delicious!

I would love to join this guide's tour again!

日本人の気さくなガイドさんが、牧場のほかドールプランテーションやガーリックシュリンプを案内してくれました。
時には草を食む馬に翻弄されながらも、都心ではなかなか体験できない乗馬をでき、待ち時間なしのガーリックシュリンプも美味しかったです！

このガイドさんのツアーは、また参加したいと思います！！

My wife said she wanted to go parasailing, so we joined this tour. Regarding this tour, none of the driver, reception, or boat staff spoke Japanese. However, the staff were accustomed to Japanese customers, and we were able to enjoy the parasailing experience without any major issues.

On the boat, lively music played, and participants took turns flying into the sky. Even while waiting for our turn, it was fun just watching others soar. I still remember the exhilarating moment when I actually took off into the air. While flying steadily, I could see the distant condominiums of Oahu, and it really hit me that we were in Hawaii. My wife and I both felt, "I'm so glad we came," and we were truly satisfied. After touching the water a few times and going up and down, we returned to the boat. Be sure to wear a swimsuit when participating.

*Points of concern:*
- I had reserved for 120 meters in advance, but it seemed like the staff were raising us based on their own judgment? The participants didn’t feel much difference in height, so I think either 90 meters or 120 meters would be sufficient.
- The staff will take commemorative photos on a 1G SD card. I think it was around $20 or $30 to purchase. My wife really wanted it, so we bought it, but I thought they could have lowered the price a bit since there was some dirt on the lens.
- The boat moves at quite a fast speed. If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

奥さんが「パラセイリングしたい」と言っていたため、このツアーに参加。
このツアーに関しては、運転手、受付、船上スタッフ全員日本語が通じませんでした。ただ、スタッフも日本人に慣れており、特に問題なくパラセイリング体験出来ました。
　
船上ではノリの良い音楽が掛かり、次々と参加者が空に飛んでいきます。順番が回ってくるまでも、参加者が飛んでる様子を観るだけで楽しかったです。実際に飛んでみても、勢い良く空を飛ぶ瞬間は今でも覚えてます。また安定して空を飛行している時は、遠くオアフ島のマンション群を観ながら、ハワイに来たんだと実感出来て、奥さんと二人で「来て良かったね」と本当に満足できました。海に何度か着水させて、上下させた後、船に戻ります。必ず水着着用で参加しましょう。
　
※気になった点
・事前に120m、で予約していましたが、船上のスタッフは感覚で空に上げている様子？で、参加したメンバーで高さの違いは感じられませんでした笑　90mか120mの申込で十分だと思います。
・スタッフが1GのSDカードに記念写真を撮ってくれます。確か20ドルか30ドルくらいで買い取りが出来た気がします。奥さんがどうしても欲しいとのことで買い取りましたが、もうちょっと値下げしてくれても良いかな、っと思いました笑　レンズにゴミが付いてたので。
・結構早い速度で船が移動します。船酔いが気になる人は、必ず酔い止め薬を服用しておきましょう。

My first horseback riding in Hawaii!
As the tour title suggests, it was very active.
There were flat paths, but also narrow downhill trails,
and quite steep climbs, making it challenging to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
However, since the horses are well-trained, I realized towards the end of the course that if I just relaxed and trusted them,
I could enjoy the ride. After that, I was able to relax and fully enjoy the North Shore. (Yay!)

ハワイで、初めての乗馬！
OPツアータイトルの通り、とてもアクティビティでした。
平坦な道かと思えば、細い道の下り坂有り
結構、急な登坂も有りで周りの景色を見るのが大変でした。
しかし、馬の方が教育されているため、乗る側が身を任せれば
良いのがコース終盤で分かりました。
それからの、乗馬はリラックスできノースショアを
満喫できたました。（ヤッフー）

Hawaii after 38 years!
Touching the cute dolphins and swimming while holding onto their bodies was the best healing experience!
It left a strong impression on me.
Next time, I want to swim with two dolphins!

38年ぶりのハワイ！
可愛いイルカに触れ合い、体に捕まり身を任せ泳いだのは
最高の癒しです！
とても印象に残りました。
次回は、2頭のイルカと泳ぎたいですね～

I tried snorkeling for the first time at a sandbar known as the "Angel Sea." I'm not a great swimmer, and I felt nervous when the staff said, "Just think of it as training!" But I put on the snorkel and set off. The corals and fish I saw for the first time were so beautiful... and just as I was getting used to it, it was over. I had a bit of anxiety, but wearing a life jacket helped me float, and the staff was watching over us, so I'm glad I participated.

天使の海と謳われるサンドバーでのシュノーケリングに初挑戦しました
私はあまり泳げないし、スタッフの 訓練だと思ってください！の声に緊張してシュノーケルをつけていざ出発
初めて見る珊瑚と魚達…わー綺麗…と慣れてきた頃にお終いでした
少し不安もありましたが、ライフジャケットを着用すれば浮くしスタッフが見守ってくれてるので参加して良かったです

1. Movie location tour
2. Ancient fish pond and garden tour
3. Jungle exploration tour
4. Cruise
5. Private beach

It was a tour where you could choose three from 1 to 4, or 5 plus one from 1 to 4.

Our family, consisting of my husband, myself, and our 6-year-old son, participated in tours 2 to 4.

The garden tour (2) was unexpectedly enjoyable and fulfilling. It was an experiential tour. We were introduced to Hawaiian flowers and got to enjoy their scents, observe cotton, and taste fresh macadamia nuts. The taste was different from roasted nuts, making it a valuable experience. It seems that carnivorous fish inhabit the ancient fish pond, but we didn't get to see any.

The jungle exploration tour (3) was a jeep tour that took us to various highlights. We climbed mountains and enjoyed taking photos with the sea and the ancient fish pond in the background. It felt more like a historical discussion about the Hawaiian monarchy rather than a typical jungle exploration tour.

A common feature of tours 2 and 3 was the introduction of filming locations. It seems that Kualoa Ranch is famous for being a filming location, as there were many introductions to movies, dramas, and Japanese TV shows.

The cruise (4) was also enjoyable. We cruised to the private beach, encountered sea turtles, and unexpectedly got soaked, which made our child very excited. If you're lucky, you might also encounter manta rays.

For the private beach tour, participants were required to bring swimsuits and towels, but for the other tours, only long pants were mandatory, so I didn't bring a change of clothes, which was a mistake. If you're planning to participate in the cruise (4), bringing a change of clothes is essential.

Overall, our child had a great time throughout all the activities. We were satisfied, ranking them in the order of 4, 2, and 3 for enjoyment.

①映画ロケ地巡り、②古代養魚池とガーデンツアー、③ジャングル探検ツアー、④クルーズ、⑤プライベートビーチ

①〜④のうち3つまたは、⑤プラス①〜④のうち1つ選択するツアーでした。

我が家は夫婦と6歳男の子で②〜④に参加しました。

②のガーデンツアーが予想以上に楽しく、充実していました。体験型のツアーです。ハワイの花の紹介と実際に香りを楽しんだり、綿の観察、生のマカダミアナッツの試食などがありました。ローストされたナッツとはまた違った美味しさで、貴重な経験をしました。
古代養魚池には肉食魚が住んでいるようですが、お目にかかれませんでした。

③はジープで見所を回るツアーでした。山を登り、高い所から海と古代養魚池を背景に写真撮影を楽しむ印象です。ジャングル探検ツアーというよりかは、ハワイ王朝の歴史的な話がメインな印象です。

②と③で共通しているのは、ロケ地の紹介があったこと。クアロア牧場はロケ地で有名なのか、映画やドラマ、日本のテレビ番組の紹介が多く感じました。

④も楽しいクルーズです。プライベートビーチをクルーズし、海ガメに出会ったり、想定外にずぶ濡れになったりと子どもは大はしゃぎでした。運が良ければ、マンタなどにも出会えるそうです。

プライベートビーチのツアー参加者は水着やタオルの持ち物指定がありましたが、他は長ズボン必須とのことのみで着替えは持っていかず、失敗しました。④のクルーズに参加される、参加するかもと予定されている方は、着替えは必須です。

全体を通して、子どもは全て楽しく過ごしました。④②③の順で楽しかったと満足です。

I chose a standard seat, but since I arrived early, I was able to sit in the front row even with a standard ticket. The show was spectacular and very enjoyable. The stage is surrounded by tables in a U-shape, so no matter where you sit, you can enjoy the dancing from all angles.

The food looks delicious, but don't expect too much from it. (laughs) It was mentioned that you would receive a shell lei, but standard seats don't get anything. Only gold and diamond seats receive that.

スタンダード席にしましたが、早めに行ったのでスタンダードでも前方に一番近い席に座れました。ショーは圧巻でとても楽しかったです。ステージをこの字型に囲ってテーブルがあり、どの席に座っても四方を向いてダンスしてくれるので横側でも楽しめます。
美味しそうに見えますが、料理は期待しないで下さい。笑
シェルレイをもらえると書いてましたが、スタンダード席は何ももらえないです。ゴールドとダイヤモンド席のみでした。

One of the staff members was not Japanese, but they spoke Japanese very fluently and were friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, but I couldn't get close enough to interact with the dolphins; I only saw a few of them from a distance, which was a bit disappointing (this might be due to the nature of the experience and timing). However, overall, I had a great time, enjoying lunch on the boat and snorkeling to see the sea turtles.

スタッフのうち一人は日本人ではなかったですが日本語がとても流暢で感じもよく安心できました。
イルカもウミガメも見れましたが、
イルカと触れ合えるほど近くでは見れず、遠くに数匹程度ずつ見えたという感じだったので（これは自然相手でタイミングなのかもしれませんが）少し残念でした。
ただ、そのほか全体通して、ランチでボート上でのランチやシュノーケリングでウミガメを見れたりなど楽しい時間をすごすことができました。

I've been wanting to go parasailing with my boyfriend for the experience and adrenaline rush!! Found this website thru my cousin who lives in Hawaii and looked thru the activities. Found parasailing at a good price and was excited!
The employees helped ease our nerves and pick up was super awesome and convenient! They also offered picture taking! Relieved I didn't have to ask anyone to use my phone to take our pics
Would definitely try it again!!

I applied two days ago and received a prompt response that I could participate right away. I am very satisfied with the quick service. The paragliding captain was humorous and fun, and my family was able to enjoy the experience. If there is a next time, I would like to use this service again.

2日前に申込みましたが直ぐに参加可の回答を頂きました。対応が早く大変満足しています。パラグライダーの船長もユーモアがあり楽しい方で家族で楽しむことが出来ました。次回があればまた利用したいです。

Surfing for the first time in 13 years!
I was able to stand up on the board in just one try, and the waves and instruction were great.
It's an English lesson, but they also speak in Japanese, and because it's an English lesson, I was able to make friends from other countries as well. It was the best!

13年ぶりのサーフィン！
1回で立てたのも、波も指導も良かったから^ ^
英語レッスンですが、日本語も交えて話してくれるし、英語レッスンだからこそ、他の国の友達もできたし最高です！

Small children can participate. Since you'll be going down a ladder, it's better to wear pants. I'm satisfied that I could give my child the valuable experience of seeing the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the sea from inside a submarine.

小さな子供も参加できます。はしごを降りたりするので、ズボンで参加した方が良いです。
海の底の綺麗な景色を潜水艦の中から見るという、貴重な経験を子供にさせてあげられて満足です。

I had no experience with surfing, but I really wanted to try it, so even though my schedule was tight, I participated on the first day of my arrival.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful! Surfing was tough, but it was fun. The instructor was very experienced and kept encouraging us to try as many times as we could until we felt we couldn't anymore (laughs).
The data was delivered quickly too! Thank you very much!

サーフィンは未経験でしたが、ぜひやって見たいと思い、日程がキツかったのですが、到着初日に参加しました。
海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗！サーフィンはしんどかったですが、楽しかったです。先生は教え慣れていて、無理というまで、何回でもやらされます(笑
データもすぐに届きました！ありがとうございました！

At the sandbar, you can practice snorkeling and play volleyball. The sandbar is shallow and there are hardly any fish, so we went to a deeper part of the sea with coral reefs to snorkel. During the move, hamburgers were served. They were delicious. It might be a bit different from the typical barbecue image. I was satisfied because I got to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling.

サンドバーで、シュノーケリングの練習や、バレーボールなどをして遊べます。サンドバーは遠浅で魚はほとんどいないので、途中、サンゴ礁のある海の深い所へ行って、シュノーケリングします。移動中、ハンバーガーが振舞われます。美味しかったです。バーベキューのイメージとはちょっと違うかも？シュノーケリングでウミガメと泳げたので満足です。

I think there are other tours like the Angel's Sea and Heaven's Sea tour, but this one departs in the morning, allows you to have lunch, and you can also go snorkeling at different locations, so I believe it's a very satisfying tour! It was great when the weather was clear, but it started to get worse along the way and became cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a towel and a change of clothes. Sunscreen is a must!

天使の海、天国の海ツアーは他にもあるとは思うのですが、朝出発で、お昼も食べられて、場所を移してシュノーケリングもできるので、色々満足できるツアーだと思います！
晴れている時は良かったんですが、途中天候が悪化してきて、寒くなってきたので、タオルや着替えを持って行くと良いと思います。日焼け止めは必須です！

I was able to see a sea turtle swimming from the boat, and we also went snorkeling.

The snorkeling was done in a line with everyone, so we couldn't take our time to look around. Also, the weather from the previous day definitely had an impact.

As for the ocean, I preferred Kailua Beach, but the various explanations and insights were interesting!

船の上からウミガメが泳いでいるのが見えましたし、
シュノーケリングもできました。

シュノーケリングはみんなで列になってザーっとやったかんじで、
ゆっくりは見れなかったです。
あとやっぱり前日の天気にも影響されてしまいますね。

海でいえば、カイルアビーチのほうがよかったのですが、
いろいろ解説があったりそういうのが面白かったです！

I am so glad we decided to take this hike through Veltra tours, we were provided with walking sticks (which you will definitely need), water and insect repellent. I am a 60 years young female with lower back arthritis, my girlfriend is 72 years young and we both survived and enjoyed it.. The scenery along the hike is beautiful. You should not wear your very nice gym shoes due to some mud and rocks along the way. Getting to the top (end of hike) seems to never come quick enough, but by the end of the hike when you see how beautiful the waterfall is, it becomes well worth it.

I had done dolphin watching before, but I had never swum with them, so I decided to participate. The dolphins were only there for a moment, but I was close enough to touch a sea turtle! It was so moving! I also tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and even though I was wobbling, I managed to stand up and ended up playing until the very end while other groups returned to the boat. The energetic staff and photographer made the time fly by. When I asked people who have been to Hawaii, they mentioned that this experience is quite famous? I heard that it can be hard to make a reservation... I think I understand why it's so popular!

イルカウォッチングはした事はありましたが、一緒に泳ぐ！はした事がなかったので参加。イルカは一瞬でしたがウミガメは触れる距離に！感動でした！SUPも初めてやりましたがぐらぐらしながらも立て、他のグループが船に戻る中最後まで遊んでしまいました。テンション高いスタッフ、カメラマンであっという間の時間でした。ハワイに行った人に聞くと結構有名？予約取れなくて…という話も聞きました。人気の理由がわかった気がします！

Overall, there were no issues.
On the submarine, Japanese was played through headphones, so the children probably didn't mind at all.

For example, if they could understand even simple English like "you can see the submarine when you go up on the deck," it seems they would be fine without the Japanese guide time in the morning.

Of course, the children were very excited about being on a submarine for the first time.

概ね問題無し。
潜水艇ではヘッドフォンで日本語は流れてくるので、子供は全く気にならなかったはず。

例えば、船上に上がると潜水艇が見えるとか、そんな英語さえ判れば、午前中の日本語ガイドタイムで無くても大丈夫そうです。

勿論、初めての潜水艇に子供は大喜びでした。

I was moved to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and the cheerful crew made the experience enjoyable on board! I was very grateful that they also took care of my 4-year-old daughter, who was scared of the ocean and stayed on the boat, and she had a great time too!

イルカの群れにも海亀にも会えて感動した他、陽気なクルーの皆様が盛り上げて楽しませてくれたので船上でも楽しく過ごせました！海を怖がり船に残った4歳の娘の面倒も見て頂けてとてもありがたかったし娘も楽しめました！

There were only Japanese people, and everything was in English. I was surprised when the self-introduction started in the car. I thought I could have enjoyed it more if I could speak English. However, I still had a great time. The teamwork of the staff was also wonderful. I want to go again.

日本人は私たちしかおらず、すべて英語。車の中で自己紹介が始まったのにはビックリしました。英語がしゃべれたらもっと楽しめたのになと思います。が、それでもすごく楽しめました。スタッフのチームワークもとても素晴らしかった。また行きたいです。

I had a very scary impression when I arrived. The guide explained everything in Japanese.

It was difficult to take photos, and when I requested a service, it was tough to find out that an additional $20 was required!

非常に怖い印象を持って望みました。
ガイドの方は日本語で説明して頂き

写真が撮影やりにくくて、サービスでお願いした際に、20ドルが別途必要というところが厳しかったです！

It was very beautiful, and I was surprised when it suddenly appeared in the middle of the ocean. The turtles were also searching hard, and I was able to see a few. However, the snorkeling was a bit disappointing because the water clarity wasn't very good. I often dive in Okinawa, and I feel that the clarity there is significantly better. It might depend on the location, though.

とてもきれいでした、海の真ん中に突然現れて驚きました、亀も一生懸命探してくれて何匹か見られました、ただ、シュノーケルは海の透明度があまりよくなく少し残念でした、沖縄でよくダイビングするのですが、透明度は沖縄の方が数段いいなと感じました、場所にもよるのかもしれませんが。

I used this service on the first day of my trip! Since we set sail while it was still light out, I was able to enjoy the beautiful blue sky, the blue ocean, and the view of Waikiki! I was also moved by the beauty of the sunset afterward! When we participated, it was very quiet. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely cruise while savoring a meal along with hula dancing and live singing! When choosing the sunset cruise, I was torn between a yacht or this option, but since I was with my mother this time, I was glad we chose the relaxing cruise with transportation included! I had checked the meal options in advance, so I didn't have high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed as long as I thought of it as a bonus. The staff's service was also good! I was especially happy that the bartender spoke Japanese and engaged in conversation with us!

旅行初日に利用しました！
明るいうちに出航するので、青空と青い海とワイキキの景色を気持ちよく堪能！その後サンセットの美しさに感動しました！
私たちが参加した時は、とても空いていました。そのおかげか食事をしながら、フラダンスと生歌を堪能し、ゆったりとクルージングを楽しめました！
サンセットクルーズを選ぶ時に、ヨットにするか迷いましたが、今回は母と一緒だったので送迎付きのゆっくり過ごせるクルージングにして良かったです！
食事内容は事前に確認していたので、あまり期待はせず、おまけ程度と思えば不満はありませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応も良かったです！特にバーテンダーの方が日本語の出来る方で、沢山話しかけて下さったのが嬉しかったです！

It was amazing. The color of the sea was very beautiful. I also encountered a sea turtle, and snorkeling in the coral reef was a lot of fun as I got to see many colorful fish—it was really beautiful. I'm very satisfied. The staff were all nice and fun people. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again.

最高でした。海の色がとても綺麗
ウミガメにも出会えたし、サンゴ礁の海でのシュノーケリングは色んな色の魚達に出会えてとても楽しかって綺麗だったー満足です。
スタッフの方もいい人ばかり そして楽しい人達
ありがとうございました 又、参加したいです。

There was one female crew was quite rude, it feels like she just needs a job to pay the bills.The food wasn't really pleasant either.

The snorkeling part was good. Remaining hour and a half was the most boring tour I even had in Hawaii. Complete waste of time and money. Would not recommend this tour to anybody.

This is my third time participating in the Angel's Sea tour, but it was my first time on an early morning tour. The weather was great, and I was very satisfied to walk right in the middle of the sea. Above all, the sailing staff was cheerful and fun! I always feel excited. Thank you!

天使の海、ツアー参加は３回目なのですが、朝早いツアーは初めてでした。お天気だったし、海のど真ん中を歩けたので大満足です。何よりセイリングスタッフが陽気で楽しい！毎回ウキウキします。ありがとうございました！

They talked about the history of Hawaii, but I couldn't understand anything at all... (*ºчº*)w

I thought I would have enjoyed it more if I could speak English. (´∇｀)

Thank you very much!!!!

ハワイの歴史の話をしてくれたんですが。。。
全く聴き取れず。。。。(*ºчº*)w

英語が喋れたらもっと楽しめたなーっと思いました(´∇｀)

ありがとうございました!!!!

The Japanese female staff member explained everything politely, and I had a great time! I was lucky to see 20 dolphins and a sea turtle too!

Thank you so much!!!!

女性の日本人staffさんが丁寧に説明してくれて凄く楽しかったです(´∇｀)
イルカ20頭＆海亀も見られてラッキーでした♡

ほんとにありがとうございました!!!!
