All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

This is an amazing experience. Entertainment of hosts (singers) was perfect. They have wit and the singing talent to go with it. I highlyrecommend going with them.

The sandbar is amazing! Sea turtles, fish around the corals, paddle boarding.
I can't believe wife and I did the banana boat ride at our ages. It is worth it though! I tell people I can't believe I did it but glad I did.

Will take this tour again when given the chance!

It was more thrilling and higher than I imagined! Still, the view of the horizon and Diamond Head from above was breathtaking! It was a great experience with nothing to complain about!

想像以上に高くてスリルがあります！
それでも上から見る水平線やダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景でした！なにも文句をつけることのない良い体験でした！

They came to pick me up earlier than scheduled. After signing some documents, we moved to a few other pickup locations and then headed to Diamond Head. Once everyone gathered, the guide started. I only understood about half of what was said, but it seemed like most of it was jokes. Everyone except me seemed to be native English speakers. However, it was no problem at all if you couldn't speak. The entrance fee and reservation for Diamond Head were handled by Veltra, so you can get in without doing anything. I was dropped off at the entrance of Diamond Head around 8:40, received a bottle of water, and was told to be back by 10:30.

The hike to Diamond Head takes about 30 to 40 minutes one way. There are many bumpy areas and stairs, so I recommend wearing sneakers. It can be quite windy and relatively cold at the top, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.

After coming down, I relaxed on a bench and looked at souvenirs. I was a bit anxious when the return pickup didn't arrive on time, but I thought, "This is America, so it’s probably normal." You also receive water on the way back, which you can decline if you don't want it. The drop-off location can be either the pickup spot or your hotel if it's nearby.

I gave a $10 bill as a tip, which seemed to be the average amount based on what I saw from other participants. I joined as a solo male traveler, but I wasn't singled out or anything; it was a straightforward and nice tour. If you can understand some English, this option is cheaper than a Japanese guide with tips included, so I think it's sufficient. For those who can use Lealea, it's easy to go that way. If you take The Bus, you get dropped off in front of the tunnel, so there's quite a bit of walking, but it's cheaper.

予定の時間よりも早く迎えに来てくれました。書類にサインして、他のピックアップ場所へ何箇所か移動して、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ。全員集合すると、ガイドが始まります。半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが、ジョークが大半だったような気がします。私以外は英語ネイティブっぽかったです。でも喋れなくても全く問題なしです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料や予約はベルトラがしてくれますので、何もしなくても入れます。8:40くらいにダイヤモンドヘッドの入り口で降ろされて、お水渡されて、帰りは10:30にココ！と言われました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドへのハイキングは片道だいたい30〜40分くらい。ガタガタのところや階段も多いので、スニーカーをおすすめします。上の方は風がとても強くて、割と寒いので、薄い上着あるといいかもしれないです。
降りてきてからは、ベンチに座ってのんびりしたり、お土産みたりしていました。
帰りは時間通りに迎えが来ず、少し不安でしたが、アメリカなのでそんなもんだろうと。
帰りも水を渡されます。要らなければ断れます。降ろす場所はピックアップ場所か、泊まってるホテルが近ければ送ってくれます。
チップは余っていた10ドル札を渡しました。他の参加者を見ててもそのくらいが平均かなと思います。
男1人で参加でしたが、特にいじられることもなく、さっぱりしていて、いいツアーだと思いました。
多少英語が聞き取れれば、日本語ガイドチップ入りよりも安いので、こちらで十分だと思います。
レアレア利用できる人はそれで行くのが楽です。ザ・バスで行くと、トンネルの前で降りるので割と歩きますが、安いです。

Our guide Ryan was off the hook amazing. His passion for his job showed through. Our journey into the back country of Hawaii was exciting and informative. You’re going to get dirty and it’s worth it. If you only come to Hawaii once in your life make sure you take this tour!!!!

Every thing you said it would be and more Thank you

It was a fun time employers were nice and very experienced

Amazing experience Great service and excellent staff!

The access was good, and the time required was reasonable, so I was able to make effective use of the time before checking into the hotel. I could see the ocean of Waikiki from 360 degrees above, and I enjoyed a luxurious view of the cityscape of Waikiki from above the sea.

アクセスも良く、所要時間も手ごろなので、ホテルチェックイン前の時間を有効活用できました。上空からワイキキの海を360度見渡すことができ、ワイキキの街並みを海の上から贅沢に眺めることができました。

Paddling out towards the waves at Waikiki Beach and riding them back is a repetitive but enjoyable experience. Paddling can be quite tiring, but it was thrilling and fun. I think I'll try it again next time.

ワイキキビーチの波に向かって漕ぎ、そして波にのって戻ってくるの繰り返しですが、漕ぐのはまあまあ疲れますが、迫力満点で楽しかったです。次回もまたトライしようと思います。

I had a wave-riding experience that felt just like surfing. The view of riding the waves towards the hotels on Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head on my right side was breathtaking.

I was also lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

まるでサーフィンをしてる様な波乗り体験が出来ました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを右手側にワイキキビーチのホテルに向かって波に乗る景色は
絶景です。

運よくウミガメも見る事が出来ました。

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.

ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ？とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。

Hanauma Bay is still a beautiful place to visit! The reef is home to such a beautiful variety of colorful fish, sea urchins, & coral. A must see for anyone visiting Oahu!

The boat was quite rough, making it feel like an attraction, which was fun! The parasailing itself didn't have a floating sensation; it was just a bit windy. I didn't get seasick on the boat, but I did feel a bit nauseous while parasailing.

船は結構荒くて、アトラクションみたいで面白かったです！パラセーリング自体にはふわっと感はなく、風が強いなーくらいでした。船は酔わなかったけど、パラセーリング中は酔いました、、

I was able to enjoy the breathtaking views. The floating time was about 8 minutes. Not only did I see the beautiful ocean, but I also got to view Waikiki and Diamond Head from a high vantage point. The boat moved out further than I expected, and I enjoyed the time on the boat as well. I chose to go paragliding at 150 meters, and it was higher than I imagined. While I felt a bit of fear when the wind picked up, I was able to enjoy the stunning scenery. Surprisingly, I felt like I could enjoy the views for a long time. It's a unique experience to gracefully enjoy the sights of Waikiki from such a high place, so I highly recommend it. The staff were also very kind and cheerful.

絶景を楽しむことが出来ました。浮遊時間は約8分ほど。綺麗な海はもちろん、ワイキキ市街やダイヤモンドヘッドを高いところから見ることが出来ました。ボートは思ったよりも置きに進み、船の時間も楽しむことが出来ました。パラセーリングは150mを選択しましたが想像以上に高く、風に煽られると若干の恐怖心もありながら、絶景を楽しむことが出来ました。意外にも長く感じるほど景色を楽しめました。あれほど高いところから優雅にワイキキの景色を楽しめることは無いのでおすすめです。スタッフの方も大変優しく陽気な方々でした。

There was a Japanese-speaking staff member, so I didn't have any anxiety about communication throughout the tour! I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I was informed that I could join the same tour or a tour from the same company for free within two weeks. After that, there might be a discount percentage, but I'm not sure how much... I don't remember until when it applies.

The experience was very enjoyable, but the weather was a bit bad on the day, and the waves were high, so the snorkeling wasn't in very deep areas. It was fun!

日本語対応の日本人の方がいらっしゃったので終始言葉による不安はありませんでした！イルカが見られなかったので、代わりに2週間以内は同じツアーだったか同じ会社のツアーだったかが無料で参加出来るとの事でした。それ以降は何パーセントoffとか？らしいです、、、いつまでだったかは覚えてないです💦
内容はとても楽しかったのですが、当日少し天気が悪く波が高かったのでシュノーケリングはそんなに深いところではなかったです。楽しかったです！

Excellent boat tour with six of us so essentially a private tour. The ladies were great driving the boat and spotting the whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. Was great to bring your own food and drinks on board.

I was able to enjoy the stunning views of Hawaii, and I'm glad I took a lot of photos! The height of 150 meters was very impressive, and I was extremely satisfied.

ハワイの絶景を味わえて、
写真も沢山とってくれてよかった！
高さも150mととても高くて大満足。

I was a complete beginner at surfing, but the instructor provided excellent guidance, and I was able to stand up on the board in about 20 minutes. Above all, the experience of surfing at Waikiki Beach was truly irreplaceable.

サーフィンは全くの初心者でしたが、インストラクターが適格に指導してもらい、開始20分くらいで立つことができました。何よりワイキキのビーチでサーフィンできる体験は何よりも代えがたいものでしたね。

Tour was amazing! The crews were awesome. The band, outstanding!

Donuts were great, crew was incredibly friendly and helpful in learning new activities like paddle boarding. We did the optional tubing ride and it was fun (even if it was too much for us and we had to call uncle 😆). Overall great experience!

In November 2023, I signed up for an optional tour to Sandbar with my daughter, but I had to cancel due to health issues. This time, I got my health back in order and participated in the tour. We had a great time with the live music on the boat, and I was excited to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. I'm really glad I joined!

　2023年11月に、娘とサンドバーのオプショナルツアーを申し込んだのですが、体調を崩してキャンセルしました。
　今回は、体調を整えてツアーに参加しました。
　船上ライブで盛り上がり、初めてのSUPで気分が盛り上がりました。
参加して良かったです。

We participated as a group of six, including family members. The children, who are university and high school students, are all above middle school age and can ride a bicycle normally. Although we had no experience with mountain biking, we thought it would be fine since it was a beginner course. However, since it was our first time using electric assist, the sensation of acceleration and control felt somewhat different from a regular bicycle, which made us anxious from the start. Just when we thought we managed to start, within five minutes, two of the children were asked to leave, and since we couldn't leave two minors waiting in a foreign land, the parents had no choice but to leave as well. The remaining three of us continued, but ultimately, after about 15 minutes, my middle school son was also asked to leave, and only my husband and the university student completed the course. There was no alternative plan, no partial refunds, and it was a tourist facility that only operates as an experience facility, leaving us just waiting for the other members to finish. We missed the highlights of the movie we wanted to see... and it cost nearly 20,000 yen per person. I hope they recognize that the fee is a reflection of the service provided. It's disappointing that they think presenting a cancellation policy will alleviate complaints. The participation criteria are low, yet the riding standards they require are high.

親族を含めた６人で参加しました。子供達は大学生、高校生を含めた中学生以上で、普通に自転車は乗れるので参加しました。マウンテンバイクは未経験でしたが、初心者のコースだったので大丈夫だと思いましたが、電動アシストが初めてということもあり、途中で加速する感覚や普通の自転車とコントロールがやや違うので、最初の練習から不安でした。なんとかスタートしたと思いきや、その５分も経たないうちに子供2人が退場宣告を受け、異国の地で未成年を2人で待機させる事ができず、親も退場せざるしかなく、残り3人で進んで行きましたが、結局その15分程で、中学生の息子も退場させられ、主人と大学生だけが完走しました。代替えプランなし、一部でも返金なし、体験施設のみで成り立ってる観光施設で、ただ、他のメンバーの終わりを待つのみ。見たかった映画の見所を見れず…それで１人2万円近く。
料金はサービスに対する対価であることを認識して欲しいです。キャンセルポリシーを提示しておけば、コンプレを押さえれると思ってること事が残念すぎます。参加基準が低い割に、求める乗車基準が高いです。

I originally wanted to go whale watching, but I heard that by April, most whales return to migration, so I chose to do a dolphin swim instead.

To my surprise, within just five minutes of departing the harbor, we spotted two whales breaching! They breached more than ten times, and the staff was just as excited as we were.

Instead of just searching for dolphins, they spent about 30 minutes chasing the whales, allowing everyone to see them, and we were able to capture great videos and photos.

After that, we successfully encountered dolphins, but it seemed there was a baby dolphin, and they were quite cautious, so we couldn't swim together.

The staff flexibly adjusted the program, making it a memorable activity for both my partner and me.

もともとホエールウォッチングがしたかったのですが、4月はほとんど回遊に戻ってしまうと聞いて、ドルフィンスイムを選んでいました。
なんと！港を出発して5分も経たないうちにブリーチングしている2頭の鯨を発見！
ブリーチングも10回以上していて、スタッフの方も大興奮でした。
本来はイルカを探しに行くところを、ここで30分くらい鯨を追ってくださったので、全ての人が見ることができ、動画も写真もバッチリ撮れました。
その後イルカとも無事遭遇できましたが、子供のイルカがいたらしく、警戒が強く一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでした。
柔軟にプログラム配分を変えてくださったので、夫婦ともども思い出深いアクティビティになりました。

Venue threw us off a bit at first, but seating was great and the show blew out of the water.

What a top-tier luau in a beautiful setting at Waimea Valley! Highly recommended

It was a great leaning experience of the beautiful Polynesian culture with a personal connection to the crew.

Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!

I was quite surprised by the height after seeing others, but once I went up, it was surprisingly okay. My Japanese is a bit broken, but it can be understood.

The boat sways quite a bit. The view is amazing!

他の方のを見て 結構な高さに驚いてしまい
ましたが、上がれば意外と大丈夫でした。
片言ですが日本語も通じます

ボート結構揺れます
景色最高です！

I think being able to ride horses along the coast is something unique to Hawaii, so I decided to participate. All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!

海沿いを乗馬できるのはハワイならではだと思い参加しました。
説明はすべて英語でしたが、行くまでの道中で日本語でドライバーのカズさんが事前に教えてくれていたので安心して楽しむことができました！
馬も慣れているのか前の馬が進めば自分の意志で進んでくれました。
ハレイワでは希望の場所で降ろしてもらえたので迷わずに行きたいお店に行けました！

We participated as a family of six across three generations. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean and under the blue sky, which was a different perspective from what we usually see from the land. I challenged myself to float in the sky, and it wasn't scary at all; I was able to enjoy it to the fullest. The staff prioritized safety and were full of humor, which made us feel secure while participating. It's truly an enjoyable activity.

ファミリー3世代、6人で参加しました。
天候も良く、日頃陸地から見ているワイキキの街、ダイヤモンドヘッドを、海の上から、そして青空の中から楽しむことができました。
空に浮かぶということがイメージでずにチャレンジしたのですが、怖いこともなく、、存分に楽しむことができました。
スタッフの方々も安全を第一に対応していただき、またユーモアたっぷりで安心して参加できました。
本当に楽しめるアクティビティです。
