All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the sandbar. However, we had a great time with SUP, kayaking, snorkeling, banana boat rides, and bumper tubing. The staff was attentive, ensuring our safety and providing a lot of fun. I want to go again next time when the weather is nice.

雨の影響でサンドバーは見られませんでした。
しかし、SUPやカヤックやシュノーケリング、バナナボート、バンパーチューブでとても楽しめました。
スタッフがちゃんと付いていて安全面でも安心できましたし、楽しませてくれました。
次回はお天気のいい時に行きたいです。

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was my first time at this location. The course still showed some effects from the flooding, but the instructors were very friendly, making for a highly satisfying ride.

Due to the flooding in March 2026, I couldn't find the entrance sign mentioned in the VELTRA description, which made parking a bit confusing. The entrance is marked by a gate that says something like "No beach visitors."

The instructors shared various stories about the horses, including their relationships with each other and what they used to do. It's clear that they care deeply for each horse.

Additionally, there was a forecast predicting bad weather around the end of our reservation time, so they started the tour 30 minutes early. As the instructor predicted, we finished before the weather turned bad.

After the ride, we were able to give the horses grass snacks and carrots.

Overall, I had a very enjoyable time.

ハワイでは3回目の乗馬で初めて行く場所でした。
洪水の影響がまだ残るコースでしたが、インストラクターの方たちがとてもフレンドリーで、満足感の高い乗馬でした。

2026年3月の洪水の影響か、VELTRAの説明にあるような入り口の看板は見当たらず駐車する際少し迷いました。”No beach visitors”的な文言が書いてあるゲートが入り口です。

馬同士の関係や、元々何をしていた馬たちなのかなどいろんな話を聞かせてくださいました。1匹1匹の馬をとても大切にしていることがわかります。

また予約終了時間時の天気が怪しくなる予報が出ており、30分前倒しでツアーを始めいただきました。インストラクターさんの予想通り、天気が悪くなる前に終了することができました。

乗馬の後には草のおやつやにんじんをあげることができました。

総じて大変楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The reservation was fully booked, so I opted for the plan where I could have a buggy driven for me, and it was a lot of fun! The rain actually made it feel magical and wonderful!

予約が空いておらず、バギーを運転してもらうプランにしましたが、とても楽しかったです！
雨も逆に幻想的で素敵でした！

I participated in the tour in late March. It was quite cold since it was early in the morning and cloudy. I can't speak much English, but the tours with Japanese guides are quite expensive, so choosing this tour was the right decision. Even if you're worried about your English, you can just check the meeting time for the return trip with a translation app, and there won't be any problems. Hanauma Bay is a place that has value in "going there itself," so it's important not to have excessive expectations about the sea. If you're looking for an environment filled with tropical fish, you should go to Guam or Miyako Island. In that sense, I don't think snorkeling tours are very meaningful, especially the expensive ones with Japanese guides. It's particularly tough when it's cold because you can't swim at your own pace. That's why this tour, which only includes transportation, makes sense. That said, the price feels a bit high considering it only covers the entrance fee, group transportation, and mask and fin rentals. However, since it's just a group transportation tour without any special individual services, I believe tipping is basically unnecessary.

3月後半に参加。早朝でかつ曇りだったのでかなり寒かったです。英語がほぼ話せないですが、日本人ガイド付きツアーは割高なので、このツアーにして正解でした。英語が不安でも、帰りの集合時間だけ翻訳アプリで確認すれば問題なし。ハナウマ湾という場所は「行くこと自体」に価値がある場所であって、海自体に過度な期待は禁物です。熱帯魚がそこら中にいるような環境を求めるなら、グアムや宮古島に行くべき。そういう意味で、シュノーケリングツアーはあまり意味がないと思います。日本人ガイド付きの高価なツアーなら尚更です。特に寒いと自分のペースで泳げないので、余計に辛くなります。だから送迎のみのこのツアーは理にかなっています。とは言え、価格は入場料別で、グループ送迎＋マスク・フィンレンタルだけの内容の割に、値段はやや高めに感じました。ただグループ送迎のみのツアーで、特段、個別のサービスはないため、チップは基本的に必要ないと私は思います。

I received an email the day before asking to change the show time from 8 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Since we could communicate in translation, there was no problem. A cheerful uncle chatted happily as we headed there, and it was fun♪ Even though it was in English, there were no issues.

8時代を7時代に変更してほしい、とショーでメールが前日に届きました。翻訳でやり取りできるので、問題なかった。陽気なおじ様が楽しくおしゃべりしながら向かい、楽しかったです♪英語だけど、問題なしでした。

It would have been great if the weather was better but still a fun time. My only complaint is that I would have liked the area that is cordoned off for paddle boarding and kayaking to be bigger. The live music is a nice touch!

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband, participated with our three grandchildren. The grandchildren had a great time, and we were very satisfied! The captain and crew were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

私達夫婦と娘夫婦と孫3人で参加しました。
孫達がとても楽しんでくれて大満足です！
キャプテン・クルーの方達もとても気さくな方達で楽しませてくれました。

Was a nice and fun experience never. Weather was really nice in the afternoon. There so much to do and see not enough time for everything lol . We also had a really good tour guid his name was Sam .

This is our third time doing the tour and still nothing short of amazing

The horses were well-trained, which made me feel very safe while riding. My family of four experienced this together, and it was interesting to see that the horses also have their own relationships; they seemed to have preferences, as some horses didn't get along well and couldn't maintain a good distance from each other.

Unfortunately, due to several days of heavy rain, we couldn't follow the usual course, and the actual time spent riding was less than an hour, which was disappointing.

よく調教されているお馬さん達で、とても安心して乗馬することができました。
家族4人で体験しましたが、それぞれの馬同士も相性があるらしく、嫌いな馬とは上手く距離がとれなかったりと、人間関係ならぬ馬関係も垣間見れ面白かったです。

何日かひどい雨が続いていたこともあり、通常のコースを歩くことができなかった為か、実際に馬に乗っていた時間は1時間にも満たなかったのが残念でした。

Had a great experience! Was able to contact the Vendor and reschedule time with no hassle. Option of dry or wet landing!
They take excellent pictures for an additional fee but they are worth buying!

Family members not flying, can purchase as an observer and follow along to watch.

Close to Waikiki, easy walk or commute to their location.

Sam was a great leader and the ranch was a great experience we will never forget !

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, riding the e-bike through Kualoa was very pleasant, and I would love to participate again. Since the bike can splash mud, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty for those who will be joining in the future. The mud isn't just from the ground; it also includes oil from the four-wheeler buggies, which didn't come off even after washing at home. Also, sandals and Crocs are not allowed, and I was advised to buy water walking shoes sold at the souvenir shop. At the beginning of the tour, there is an explanation of the e-bikes and a test ride. It's not difficult, so I think anyone who can ride a regular bike will be fine. There will be time to stop and take photos at movie filming locations and air raid shelters. The guide speaks only English, so if you understand English, it will be even more enjoyable.

時折小雨の降るあいにくのお天気でしたが　eバイクで駆けるクアロアは気持ちよくて
また参加したいです　自転車の泥がはねてズボンや背中が汚れますのでこれから参加される方は汚れてもいい服装をおすすめします　土の泥だけじゃなくて四輪バギーの油も含まれてるので帰宅後洗っても取れなかったです　あと、サンダルやクロックスはNGで土産物屋に水中ウォーキング用の靴が売ってるのでそれを購入するよう言われました　ツアーの始めにeバイクの説明やテスト走行があります　難しくはないので普通の自転車に乗れる人なら大丈夫だと思います　映画のロケ地や防空壕に立ち寄って写真を撮る時間をとってくれます　ガイドは英語のみです　英語がわかればさらに楽しいものになるでしょう

Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. The surprise when coming down was also fun. I had experienced parasailing in Okinawa, so I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication, but the waves in the open sea were intense, and I wished I had taken some.

空から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした。降りてくる時のサプライズも楽しかったです。
沖縄でもパラセーリングは体験していたので、酔い止めは不要だと思っていたのですが、外海での波のうねり凄くて酔い止め飲めば良かったなと思いました。

I participated with my daughter, who is in middle school. My wife stayed on land because she gets motion sickness easily.

During takeoff and landing, there was hardly any acceleration or impact like you would experience on a regular passenger plane; it was a quiet takeoff and landing with almost no jolt. In the air, there was very little turbulence, making for a safe and secure flight.

We had already visited places like Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor beforehand, and it was great to see them from the sky as if confirming what we had seen. It was nice to see parts of the former volcanic crater that are too large to understand without viewing them from above.

Over Pearl Harbor, the shape of the sunken battleship was clearly visible, filling in the missing pieces of the puzzle from our land tour (with a different company). Honestly, just this experience made it worth participating.

私(父)と中学生の娘と2人で参加。
妻は乗り物酔いしやすいので陸で待機。
離着陸は、通常の旅客機で体験するような加速度や衝撃は全くと言ってよいほど無く、静かに離陸、着陸もほとんど衝撃なし。
空でも大した揺れもなく、安心安全な航行でした。
事前に、ダイヤモンドヘッドやパールハーバーなどの見学を済ませており、それを空から答え合わせするように見ることができて良かった。
かつての火山の噴火口跡など、大きすぎて空から見ないとわからない部分を見ることができて良かった。
パールハーバー上空では、沈んでいる戦艦の形がくっきりと視認でき、陸での(別会社の別ツアーでの)見学時の欠けていたパズルのピースを埋めるようで、正直、これだけでも参加して良かったくらい。

This was my second time participating at my daughter's request. As always, it's a pleasure to ride slowly on horseback amidst the magnificent scenery. Some horses stop along the way, but generally, they walk on their own. Last time, we went all the way to the spot with Godzilla's footprints, but this time we turned back before reaching there. I'm not sure if last time was special or if the course has changed. However, I had another great time.

娘のリクエストで2回目の参加。
相変わらずの壮大な景色の中、馬に乗ってゆっくり進んでいくのは気持ちがいいです。
途中で止まっちゃう馬もいますが、基本的に馬が勝手に歩いていってくれます。
前回はゴジラの足跡がある所まで行ったんですが、今回はそこまで行かずにUターン。
前回が特別だったのか、コースが変わったのかは不明。
でもまた良い時間を過ごせました。

It was all in English, so I was really disappointed that I couldn't understand the staff's explanations. I was looking forward to the experience, but it felt a bit lacking.

全て英語だったので、スタッフの説明が全く分からなかったので残念。
折角の体験をタ楽しみにしていたのですが、少し物足りなかった。

Parasailing was a lot of fun, and it was great that they let us drive the boat and fly as a family of four. However, I requested photos for $40, and in the end, the data transfer to my smartphone didn't go well, so I received an SD card instead. Unfortunately, the SD card has an error, and I can't check the data at the moment. It's really disappointing not to have any photos from such a fun experience. Since I was returning home the next morning, there was nothing more I could do, and I had to go back. I'm really sad about it...

パラセーリングはとても楽しくて、ボートを運転させてくれたり、４人家族で飛ばせてくれたりと最高だったのですが、、、
写真を40ドルでお願いし、最後スマホへデータ移行がうまくいかず、SDカードをもらいました。しかし、SDカードエラーになってしまい、今のところデータが確認できていません。とても楽しかった体験なだけに、写真が残らないのが残念でなりません。
翌日朝から帰国だったので、もうどうすることも出来ず帰国しました。
悲しいです。。

I was planning to drive using my husband's driver's license (the actual one), but I forgot it in the hotel safe...! Fortunately, I had a clear photo of the license, so when I consulted with the staff, they checked the image and allowed me to drive after I showed my passport and signed a waiver. I'm really glad I was able to drive! I had mistakenly switched to a digital license, so based on this lesson, I issued a physical card after returning home. Having the actual document is definitely stronger overseas.

夫の免許証（実物）で乗る予定でしたが、ホテルの金庫に忘れてしまいました…！
たまたま免許証を綺麗に撮った画像を持っていたので、スタッフに相談したところ、その画像を確認したのち、パスポートの提示と注意事項へのサインのようなもので許可がおりました。乗れて本当によかった！
自分はマイナ免許証にしてしまっていたので、この教訓を元に、帰国後にカードを発行しました。海外では実物が強いですね。

Well worth the money. I would highly recommend Dolphin Quest to any animal lover. An experience you will find hard to match.

I had a buggy experience, and it was fun. The instructor was kind, which was great. However, the Japanese explanation was only in a video showing how to ride, and after that, everything was in English. I think it would be fine for those who understand English to some extent, but I only understood it vaguely.

It started pouring rain halfway through, and the road flooded, so the bus couldn't return. We were stuck at Kualoa Ranch for several hours. Fortunately, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I was able to understand the situation. It's best to go on a day with good weather.

バギー体験をしましたが、楽しく、インストラクターの方も親切で良かったのですが、日本語の説明は動画で乗り方を見ただけで、あとはずっと英語なので、ある程度英語がわかる方なら問題ないかと思います。なんとなくしかわかりませんでした。
途中からどしゃ降りになり、道が浸水してバスが戻れなかったので、クアロアランチで何時間も拘束されました。この際は日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいたので、何とか状況はわかりました。天気が良い日に行くべきです。

I participated with my 11-year-old son. There were two instructors who cheerfully energized the atmosphere. However, since my son doesn't understand any English, he was treated equally to the other customers, which left him feeling quite lost. The safety measures were excellent, and the zip line was long and felt great.

11歳の息子と二人で参加しました。
インストラクターさん二人いて、陽気に場を盛り上げてました。
ただ英語が全く分からない息子にも他の利用客さんとある意味平等に扱うので、息子は何がなにやらって感じでした。
安全対策はバッチリで、ジップライン長くて気持ちよかったです。

This was the one excursion that I was looking forward to during my visit. It did not disappoint! Sure the weather could have been better, but the sandbar was just beautiful. The entire staff team was amazing , welcoming, fun, attentive and entertaining. I would highly recommend this sandbar tour and especially this crew.

I felt better than I imagined, and I want to ride again. Thank you very much. I was scared at first, but it was okay.

想像以上に気分が良くなりました、また乗りたいです。ありがとうございました。最初は怖かったですが大丈夫でした

I think you can swim from the morning in the summer, but the mornings in March are still cold and tough. However, once the sun comes out, it's not that cold, so it might be better to swim in the afternoon during winter. Even in the shallow areas, you can see a lot of fish and swim close enough to them. I also got to see a seal, which was fun. It was a shame that one of the snorkels was broken.

夏場は朝から泳げると思うけど3月の朝はまだ寒くて辛かった。でも日が出てからはさほど寒くないので冬場は午後がいいかも。浅瀬でも沢山の魚をみれて手が届きそうな距離で一緒に泳げます。アザラシにも会えて楽しかったです。シュノーケルが一つ壊れてて残念でした。

Meeting at the hotel, you can board directly from the beach behind the hotel, and you'll be back in the heart of Waikiki before noon, making it very time-efficient. The snorkeling time is about an hour in the area with sea turtles, and afterwards, we went sailing near Diamond Head. We also saw dolphins. I think this tour is just right for those who feel that spending a whole day in the ocean is a bit much.

ホテル集合～そのままホテル裏のビーチから乗船、お昼前にはワイキキ中心部に戻れるのでとても時間の効率がよいです。シュノーケルの時間はウミガメのいるエリアで賞味1時間ちょっと、その後はダイアモンドヘッドの前あたりまでセーリング。イルカも見れました。丸1日使ってガッツリ海に入るのはちょっと・・・という感じの方には丁度良いツアーだと思います。

We participated as a family of five adults. Riding the wind and the waves, we encountered sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience in Hawaii.

成人の家族五人で参加。風に乗り波に乗り、ウミガメにも出会え、ハワイでの忘れられない体験となりました。

Unlike surfing, it's easy to ride the waves. Everyone paddles together to row out to the sea. It was March, but it wasn't cold and was quite comfortable. I was able to ride the waves about three times, and it felt great. The reception was very accommodating and reassuring. On rainy days, they notify you via LINE call on the morning of the reservation, and they were able to handle postponements on the spot.

サーフィンとは違い簡単に波乗り出来ます。パドルで全員協力して沖まで漕ぎます。3月でしたが寒くもなく快適でした。3回程波に乗れました、気持ち良いですよ。受付はとても対応よく、安心。雨の日の予約は当日朝にLINE電話にてお知らせあり、その場で延期対応頂けました。

The path has almost no shade and goes straight up. The last set of stairs now has a detour, which is reassuring. It took about 45 minutes to climb and 30 minutes to descend for a fourth grader.

日陰は、ほぼ無く細い道をひたすら登ります。
最後の階段は迂回路が出来たので安心です
小学生4年生で登り45分程度、下り30分程度でした

I was able to spend a special day. It was my first time riding in a buggy, but since I was driving while breathing in the fresh air, I didn't get motion sickness and was able to enjoy sightseeing! The guides were truly wonderful people, and I felt deep down that I was glad to be here. I was really happy to see views that I can't see in Japan. This is definitely a tour I want to go on again when I come back to Hawaii!

特別な一日を過ごすことができました。
バギーに乗ること自体初めてでしたが、外の空気を吸いながらの運転だったので酔うこともなく楽しんで観光できました！
ガイドの方も本当に素敵な方達でここにきてよかったと心の底から思いました。
日本では見ることのできない景色を見ることができ、本当によかったです。
またハワイに来た際には絶対に行きたいツアーです！
