All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful experience. It seemed like they adjusted the angle, and I could see Diamond Head right in front of me from the sky! It was a quick experience, but I would love to do it again when I visit Hawaii.

天気にも恵まれてとても良い経験ができました。角度も調整してくださっているようで上空では目の前にダイヤモンドヘッドが見えました！あっという間の体験でしたがまたハワイに行った際はやりたいです。

One of the best tours we did on Oahu! Pick up was on time and convenient. We had a great time all day. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed. The buffet was hot and very good. There was always someone to help or answer a question. I would happily do this tour again!

Enjoyed the tour and all the sites. Nice way to tour with your family. Next time we think we’d like to try the bus tour.

This is my second experience. The staff was very polite. The weather was nice, and the view was fantastic. I unexpectedly fell into the sea, but it was thrilling and fun.

2回目の体験です。スタッフも丁寧な対応。
天気が良く見晴らしは最高でした。
まさかの海にぽちゃんと落ちましたがスリルがあって楽しかったです。

We participated as a couple. In addition to us, there were three other couples, so we set sail with a total of eight people. Eating under the beautiful blue sky of Hawaii was truly delightful and the best experience! On the way to the flying point, we were able to see a honu and dolphins, which was a three-in-one experience! While waiting for the other groups to fly, there might be a chance of getting motion sickness, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

夫婦で参加しました。自分たちの他に３組参加していたので、合計８名で出航しました。
ハワイの青い空を悠々と食べるのは本当に気持ちよくて最高でした！飛ぶポイントまでボートで移動する途中でホヌとイルカも見ることができて一石三鳥でした！
他の組が飛んでいる時は待ち時間になり、そこで酔ってしまうかもしれないので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。

We had a great time! Captain and crew did an amazing job ensuring we were safe and having a blast!

It was a wonderful tour blessed with great weather! The Japanese staff were wonderful people, and I was glad to learn about many unfamiliar plants!

お天気に恵まれ素晴らしツアーでした！
日本人のスタッフが素敵な人で知らない植物を沢山教えて貰えて良かったです！

Before the pandemic, I participated in a different experience plan, and this was my second time joining. There were hardly any Japanese participants, and the staff were engaging with the participants, asking where they were from. I was nervous when it was our turn, but even though I could hardly speak any English, I managed to have a conversation. The explanations were all in English, so I couldn't take notes, but I didn't have any difficulties. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. There was one Japanese staff member at the information center, which was helpful. You can take photos at each location before participating and purchase them before leaving. It was $20. Since it's a popular option, I think it's better to make a reservation before departure. I'm glad I participated.

コロナ前に別の体験プランに参加し今回2回目の参加でした。参加者に日本人はほとんどいなくスタッフさんが参加者にどこから来たの？とか順番に話しかけていてドキドキしながら私たちの番になりほとんど英語は話せませんが何とか会話が出来ました。説明は全部英語なので内容は書き取りできませんが不自由はなかったです。ウミガメに出会えて感激しました。案内所に日本人スタッフが一人いるので助かりました。参加前にそれぞれの場所で写真を撮り帰る前に購入できます。20💲でした。人気なオプションなので出発前に予約したほうがいいと思います。参加して良かったです。

I participated with my mother in her 70s, and I think anyone can enjoy it regardless of age! It became the most fun memory during our stay on Oahu. The view from 150 meters up is amazing. For those who are undecided, I highly recommend it :)

I had read reviews and thought we would have to wait for a while after check-in, but perhaps because all four groups of participants arrived quickly, we set sail 15 minutes ahead of schedule and finished an hour before the planned end time, which allowed us to relax afterward.

Photos were available for $40 and could be paid by credit card. There were many pictures, and I was satisfied. It seemed that everyone in our group tipped around $20. Just for your reference... (You can pay with a QR code even if you don't have cash.)

70代の母と参加しましたが、年齢関係なく、誰でも楽しめると思います！
オアフ島滞在中、一番楽しい思い出になりました。
150m上空からの景色は最高です。
迷われている方、ぜひぜひ:)
クチコミを拝見し、チェックイン時間からしばらく待たされるかと思っていましたが、4組の参加者全員揃うのが早かったからか、予定の15分前には出航し、終了予定時刻の1時間前に終わり、その後ゆっくりできたのでよかったです。
写真は40ドルでクレカ決済可でした。枚数も多く、満足しました。
チップは、私たちの回はみなさん20ドル払っていたようです。ご参考までに…。（現金なくてもQRコードで払えます。）

I understand that dealing with natural creatures can be unpredictable, but once on board, it felt quite rushed and not very leisurely. The staff's attentiveness was very good.

自然の生き物を相手にしているので仕方ないと思いますが乗船してからがあわただしくゆっくり楽しむ感じではありませんでした。
スタッフの気配りはとても良かったです。

We were supposed to gather 30 minutes earlier, but we ended up waiting in a hot van... The overseas guests were late, and we started just in the nick of time. However, once we actually got to go parasailing, it was such a refreshing experience that I forgot all about that.

30分前集合でしたが、きっちり行くと暑いバンで待たされました、、、。海外の方が遅く、始まるのもギリギリでした。
しかし，実際パラセーリングに乗るとそんなことも忘れるぐらい爽快な体験ができました。

Although the ground was muddy, they lent me a walking stick, which made navigating the steps安心. I had imagined walking through a thicket, but there were no bugs, and the path was wide, allowing for a leisurely trek while enjoying nature. It didn't rain on the day of my visit, making it easy to walk, but as a result, the waterfall had a lower water volume. On the way there, we moved as a group while receiving explanations, but on the way back, we could descend freely, so I think it's best to take photos without rushing, capturing them when there are fewer people around. After the walk, going to Tantalus Lookout and enjoying a sandwich while overlooking the town was exceptionally delicious. There was plenty of free time, making it a luxurious experience.

足元はぬかるんでいるもののステッキを貸してくださるので段差も安心でした。藪の中を歩くイメージでしたが、虫もおらず道幅も広くのんびり自然を眺めながらのトレッキングです。当日は雨は降らず歩きやすかったのですが、その分滝の水量は少な目でした。行きは説明を受けながら集団で動きますが帰りは自由に降りるので、写真は焦らず、人が少なくなったところで撮影されるといいと思います。散歩後にタンタラスの丘へ行き、町を見下ろしながら食べるサンドイッチは格別なおいしさ。自由時間もたっぷりで、贅沢な時間でした。

Everything from the reception to the announcements on the boat is in English. For those who are not good at English, the only way to understand is by watching the movements, but I don't think there is anything particularly difficult as long as you wear your life jacket properly. However, since it's a self-inflating type, I found it quite tiring to swim as the waves pushed me off balance. I saw two sea turtles, but they weren't slow enough to take pictures, so it's better to think of it as just being able to see them. I was worried about not mixing up my boat since we swam with people from other tours. It seems they separate groups by the color of the life jackets, so it's reassuring to stay close to those wearing the same color. Overall, being in the water can be quite exhausting. Perhaps because of that fatigue, I got seasick on the way back and couldn't see any of the scenery, which was disappointing for the cruising time.

受付から船上でのアナウンスまですべて英語。英語が苦手な人は動きを見て理解するしかないですが、特に難しいことはなくライフジャケットをしっかりつけていれば問題ないと思いますが、自分で膨らませる簡易タイプなので波に押されバランスが悪く泳いでいて結構疲れました。ウミガメは２匹見られましたが、写真に撮れるほどゆっくりではなく見られればOKくらいに思っていたほうがいいです。他のツアーの人と一緒に泳ぐため、自分の船を間違えないか心配でした。ライフジャケットの色で分けているようなので、同じ色の人たちと離れないようにすると安心です。とにかくひたすら海の中なので結構体力を消耗します。その疲れもあってか、帰りは船酔いで景色を一切見られず、せっかくのクルージングの時間が残念でした。

I had decided not to try anything that felt unstable, but parasailing was different. It was stable the whole time, and it wasn't scary at all. I was quickly lifted up, and it felt amazing with the view being absolutely fantastic. It was an experience that you can't get from being on a plane. I think even those who are afraid of heights can enjoy it. I definitely recommend giving it a try. I just wish the experience lasted a bit longer!

地に足がつかないのは乗らないと決めていましたがパラセーリングは別でした。ずっと安定していて高くて怖いということもありませんでした。あっという間に上に上がりとても気持ちよく景色も最高でした。飛行機などでは味わえない時間でした。高いのが苦手な人でも楽しめると思いました。ぜひ体験してみてください。体験時間がもっと長ければいいな〜

The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I had a great time seeing many fish. Above all, encountering a sea turtle was moving. I definitely want to enjoy snorkeling 🤿 and meeting the honu again on my next trip to Hawaii.

海がとっても綺麗で、魚もたくさん見る事もでき楽しかったです。
何よりも、ウミガメとの遭遇は感動しました。
是非、次回のハワイ旅行でもシュノーケリング🤿&ホヌとの出会いを楽しみたいと思っています。

Everything was great with not problems at all. It was easy to purchase online and have the tickets on my phone.

I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*

会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり！！
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます！！！ありがとう！！！
thank you so much！！！*\(^o^)/*

The only tour I booked on my solo trip and got the most out of the water related activities in the span of less than a day. Totally worth it to book and also get lunch included with the tour. Learned so much about respecting the reef, team focused sandbar volleyball and the joy of watching the turtles swimming.

It's much more expensive than I expected. First of all, the breathtaking view was something I've never experienced before. With the strong yen, I thought the price for just five minutes was high, but five minutes is enough. The sea breeze on the way to and from the island feels great. My whole family was very satisfied. The staff speaks English and is cheerful and friendly. It's just a short walk from the lagoon at Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's very convenient if you're staying at the Hilton.

思ってたより、かなりかなり高いです。まず経験する事のないびっくりするぐらいの絶景でした。円高もあり5分の時間でこの料金は高いなと思いましたが、5分ぐらいで充分です。沖への行き帰りも潮風が気持ち良いです。家族皆んな大満足でした。スタッフは英語ですが陽気でフレンドリーです。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのラグーンから歩いてすぐです。ヒルトンに宿泊ならとても便利です。

During my trip to Hawaii, I boldly tried parasailing. At first, I was nervous, but the exhilarating moment of being lifted into the sky from the boat is unforgettable! The expansive blue of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head left me speechless, like a postcard-perfect view. Even someone as timid as I am was able to enjoy it comfortably, thanks to the staff's thorough explanations and support. This is definitely an activity I want to do again when I go to Hawaii!

ハワイ旅行中に思い切ってチャレンジしたパラセーリング。
最初はドキドキでしたが、ボートからふわっと空へ上がる瞬間の爽快感は忘れられません！
青く広がるワイキキビーチとダイアモンドヘッド。まるで絵はがきのような景色に言葉を失いました。
怖がりな私でも安心して楽しめたのは、スタッフさんの丁寧な説明とサポートがあったからこそ。
ハワイに行ったら、絶対にまたやりたいアクティビティです！

I would not recommend an unaccompanied (self guided) kayak adventure in Kailua Bay. The in and out of the water is challenging so if you go to a beach or island without someone helping it's a little scary. We went out to one of the small islands. It took about 1.5 hours and we were paddling the entire time. Again, so tricky getting in and out we decided to leave only after about 10mns. Also shallow water if you don't stay close to shore with tons of coral that I saw people pushing on with their paddles which really harms it. It was hard not to though since they sat so close to the surface. Another great reason to have a guide. They would have steered us closer to shore to avoid it all and the stress of realizing we were damaging it.

It was the perfect experience to understand scuba diving. Reda was a patient, knowledgeable and fun instructor. The group caught on quickly and then got to scuba in the lagoon and see coral, fish and sea life. Highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨

朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑　イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました！　そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹　船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨

The instructor was incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive! It was a family experience tour for adults with children, and we were very satisfied.

インストラクターが、とにかく親切、優しい、丁寧！子どもが成長して、大人家族での体験ツアーでしたが、大満足でした。

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

We learned a lot from the trainers. They gave us factual and interesting information. Dolphin and visitor safety is of the utmost importance to them.
