All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

It was a great time. It got extremely hot. After we asked the waiter to open one of the windows he opened ours which helped a lot other then everyone came to our window to take pictures because it was the only window ope. Food was amazing tho and the service was awesome. I just think they should keep all the windows open. I would recommend this dinner to everyone

Enjoyed it very much. Saw several sea turtles and were given a nice catamaran cruise. Well organized and led.

First time doing this. Thoroughly enjoyed it between the dolphins and turtle. I found a turtle by my lonesome, shared with everyone, but I guess there was more action somewhere else. I swam with the turtle as it slowly rose up to surface to get a breathe of air that took no more than one second. Then it went on its way. I don't have pictures of that experience to share, but I did have a go pro recording the whole time. So I have that to take with me the rest of my life.
Needs to said, there is a catch. If you want more interaction with mammal sea life, there is another activity that gets your first hand, up close and personal. However you are in a control environment. Whereas this activity is in the ocean; wildlife, so more than dolphins and turtles to experience(depending on the time of year too).

If I am allowed to edit this post, and also allow to post a hyperlink to a YouTube video, I will post that turtle swim.

This tour is a great way to see and experience the North Shore from the land and in the water. Our tour guide (HC) knew his way around the island like nobody's business. He went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. Plenty of time for snorkeling, bike riding, checking out waterfalls, SUP or kayaking AND SHOPPING! I highly recommend!

The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!

Swimming with dolphins in the ocean has always been my dream, so I enrolled in a university with many activities after debating between middle school and university. The meeting time is early at 6 AM. I've heard that dolphins are still sleepy at that time!

They say Hawaiians are laid-back with time, but the tour bus is punctual, so I think it's best to gather at least 10 minutes before the meeting time. On the bus, we watch an English DVD about safety precautions and how to use the snorkeling mask, but we receive explanations in Japanese later, which is reassuring.

Follow the rules and enjoy the activities! For ocean activities, I recommend wearing a jacket because it can get chilly with the sea breeze while moving on the boat. Also, the boat can get wet, so bring a bag that you don’t mind getting wet or waterproof gear.

The coastline to Waianae is truly beautiful, and the water is very clear! We set off on the boat and performed a ceremony for safety, offering plumeria flowers to the sea. It was a blessed day with perfect weather. We saw so many dolphins on our second try. After being in the water for a while, we watched excited dolphins swimming around us repeatedly. Since they are wild dolphins, it’s all about luck. I’m grateful for such a fortunate day, and we even saw a turtle.

While snorkeling, I saw many beautiful fish. I took off my life jacket and swam among the fish! The staff dove in and made bubble rings, adding to the excitement. I chose this university because of the long duration and the opportunity to do SUP. I managed to stand up!

On the way back to the boat harbor, we had hamburgers and drinks. It seemed like the equipment was having some issues that day, but there was still hula. Upon arriving at the port, we wanted to do some sightseeing on the west coast, so we disbanded locally. We received eco-bags as a substitute for diplomas and, with permission, disbanded locally. After that, we took The Bus to Mermaid Cave.

The staff advised us to be careful due to safety concerns. Thank you for your consideration! This university is the best! I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. It was the best activity I participated in! Mahalo!

イルカのいる海で泳ぐのが夢でしたので、中学と大学迷ってアクティビティが多い大学に入学。
集合時間が６時と早いです。イルカが寝ぼけてるうちに、と何かで聞いたことがあります！
Hawaiianは時間にルーズだと言いますが、ツアーバスは時間厳守で迎えに来て頂けるので、集合時間10分前には集まっていた方が良いと思います。
バスの中では英語のDVDで非常時の際の注意事項や、シュノーケルマスクの使い方などを見ますが、後から日本語で説明を受けるので安心です。
ルールを守って楽しくアクティビティ！
海のアクティビティは船移動中海風が寒いので上着をオススメ！後は、船の中は水びたしになるので、濡れてもいいバックでいくか、防水グッズをお忘れなく。
Waianaeまでの海岸線は本当にキレイです。海の中も透明度が高い！ボートで出発してE Ho Maiの安全を祈る儀式でプルメリアを海に。
この日は本当に恵まれた日で、天気は最高。
イルカも２回目のトライにはたーくさん。しばらく海に入って何回も私たちの下を泳いでいくのを見て、興奮したイルカ達が回りを何回もグルグル泳いでいてくれました。
野生のイルカなのでその辺は運次第。
恵まれた日で感謝です。カメまで見れました。
シュノーケルはたくさんのキレイな魚が見れました。
ライフジャケットを脱いで潜って魚の中を泳ぐ！
スタッフさんが潜ってバブルリング作って見せてくれたりと、盛り上げてくれます。
大学を選んだのは時間が長いのと、SUPができるから。
なんとか立てました！
ボートハーバーに戻る間にハンバーガーとドリンク頂き、この日は機械の調子が悪かったようですがフラがあります。
港につき、私たちは西海岸観光がしたかったので現地解散。卒業証書かわりのエコバッグを頂いて、許可を得た上で私たちだけ現地解散。その後THe BusでMermaid Cave に。
スタッフの方には治安が悪いので気をつけるようによく言われました。
お気遣いありがとうございました！
大学最高！またハワイに来た際は参加したいです。
参加したアクティビティで1番でした！Mahalo!

Great tour! If you're only doing the one activity at the ranch, be sure to check what time your activity starts and finishes, you might want to catch the bus or drive yourself. saves you waiting around for hours for the first shuttle bus back to Waikiki.
The actual tour itself was really fun and well run! I would highly recommend

Under clear skies, we headed out to Waikiki with 10 participants and 2 staff members. It was supposed to be a fun aerial walk with lively foreigners and efficient staff, but I ended up feeling seasick. I wanted to enjoy it longer, so I chose the 150m option, but I regretted it... I asked to be brought down quickly. The atmosphere was very nice, though.

快晴の中、参加者10人と2人のスタッフでワイキキ沖へ。
のりのりの外人さんとテキパキしたスタッフで楽しい空中散歩のはずが、船酔いで大変でした。せっかくなので長く楽しみたいと150ｍにしましたが後悔・・・・早くおろして貰いました。
雰囲気はとても良かったです。

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. It was a morning-only tour, but I didn't feel that the time was too short. In fact, it was great to have a focused experience and make good use of the afternoon. The guide was entertaining, and the crew members were very kind.

The sandbar itself appeared up to my ankles, so I was very satisfied with that. I was able to take some great photos. The snorkeling gear was in good condition, and the life jacket was easy to use. I also brought a rash guard and a beach towel for warmth.

If I had known how good this was, I would have experienced a sandbar tour much earlier. I definitely want to participate again next time.

数回ハワイに行っていますが、サンドバーのツアーには初めて参加しました。
午前中のみのツアーでしたが特に時間が短いとは感じませんでした。むしろ短期集中で午後を有効活用できて良かったです。
ガイドさんのしゃべりも面白くクルーの皆さんも大変親切でした。
肝心のサンドバーはくるぶしくらいまで出現してくれましたので、こちらも大満足です。
良い写真も撮れました。
シュノーケリングセットも状態が良く、ライフジャケットも使いやすかったです。
寒さ対策でラッシュガードとビーチタオルも持参しました。
こんなに良いものならもっと早くサンドバーのツアーを経験しておけば良かったです。
次回も是非参加したいと思います。

great time and great fun. one of the best things to do in hawaii. saw sea turtles and even was allowed to hold an octopus. the workers had our safety in mind the entire time. great fun. a must do on hawaii. thanks for the memories.

great company, great people. was our 35th anniversary and wanted it to do something different. was so worth it. wife was nervous at first, but once in the air it was so calm, relaxing and fun. told the driver to go ahead and get us wet in the ocean, and boy did he. would recommend doing this in hawaii, and especially with this company. they had our interest and safety in mind the entire time, and were a riot to be with. would absolutely do this again. thanks for the great memories.

Good food, had all you can eat crab leg and steak. Great music and entertainment. Perfect sunset and view of the city. Well worth money. I would do it again

This was my first time participating in the tour. I checked the weather and tide conditions in advance to choose the date, but I was too optimistic. On the day, it was cloudy and quite cold for mid-May! For those deciding on a date in the future, it's definitely better to check the forecast specifically for Kaneohe, as the weather can be quite different from Honolulu.

To be strict, I think the tour organizers should limit the dates to sunny days and when the sandbar is accessible (knee-deep) to ensure higher satisfaction. As it stands now, the photos and reality are too different, and I believe participants may feel dissatisfied. Even if it's difficult to limit the dates, it would be good to include photos from cloudy days and provide clearer information about what to expect on days with bad weather.

● Customer Service
Everyone was very good. They were friendly and approachable.

● Sandbar
It doesn't look beautiful when it's cloudy, and it appears murky. It's also cold even in May.

● Snorkeling
It was cold, but once I got used to it, it was fun.

● Food
We had hamburgers, fries, stewed beans, pineapple, and drinks. The taste was just okay. The lemonade I chose honestly wasn't very good! I thought the hot drink after coming out of the sea was a very nice service!

● Restrooms
There were two on the boat.

That's all. Thank you.

今回初めてツアーに参加させて頂きました。天気と潮の満ち干きは事前に調べて日を選んだのですが、甘かったです。当日、曇りで5月半ばでしたが寒かった！
これから日取りを決める方は、予報は必ずカネオヘで調べたほうがいいです。ホノルルとカネオヘでは随分と天気が違うからです。
厳しく言うなら、ツアー企画側も、天気が晴れの日とサンドバーが出る時期（膝より下）で日取りを限定すると、高い満足度になるのではないでしょうか。今のままでは写真と現実が違いすぎて参加されたお客様は不満だと思います。
日の限定は難しくても、曇りの日の写真を載せておく、もう少し、天候の悪い日の事を詳しくわかりやすく書いておくと良いかなと思います。

●接客
みなさんとてもよかったです。フレンドリーで、気さくな方ばかりでした。

●サンドバー
曇りだと綺麗に見えないし、濁って見えます。また5月頃でも寒いです。

●スノーケル
寒かったですが、慣れると楽しかったです。

●食事
ハンバーガー、ポテト、お豆の煮込んだもの、パイナップルとドリンクでした。味はまあまあでした。チョイスしたレモネードは正直あまり美味しくなかったです！海から上がった後のホットドリンクはとても良いサービスだと思いました！

●トイレ 船に二カ所ついていました。

以上です。ありがとうございました。

What a great time! Not scary at all. We got awesome video! Definetly a must!

Organized, fun crew. Eight 8-10 foot Galapagos Sharks. Really exciting experience!

The crew is absolutely great and a very friendly bunch! Highly recommended!

I had done the Sea Walker in Guam before, but it was my first experience with the new underwater scooter, and it was fun. It was amazing.

以前グアムでシーウォーカーをやった事はあったのですが新しい水中スクーターは初めての体験で楽しかったです。
最高でした。

I participated in this tour seeking snorkeling and beautiful seas.

The shuttle bus is quite cold, so a jacket is a must. Having a Japanese crew made me feel at ease.

First, we had free time at the sandbar. There was optional beach volleyball, and I enjoyed playing volleyball with people from various countries whom I had just met. Those who couldn't join in could just take photos, so there might be some extra time.

During lunchtime, we had cheese burgers made with grilled meat by the crew on the boat (while docked). Enjoying lunch while listening to the crew's casual guitar and singing created a uniquely Hawaiian atmosphere!

I almost got seasick during the sea turtle watching.

For snorkeling, they took care to ensure that even beginners would be fine. They provided plenty of time, and those who were satisfied could wait on the boat. It was quite cold from this point on, so I think having a T-shirt or long sleeves that you don't mind getting wet would be good.

シュノーケリングと綺麗な海を求めて参加しました。

送迎バスはかなり寒いので上着必須です。
日本語クルーが付いてくれ、安心できます。

まずサンドバーでフリータイム。自由参加のビーチバレーがあり、多国籍・初対面の方々とバレーボールを楽しみました。自分から参加できない方は写真を撮るだけなので時間が余りそうです。

ランチタイムは船(停泊中)の上でクルーの焼いたお肉のチーズバーガー。クルーの気ままなギター&歌を聴きながらのランチはハワイならでは！という雰囲気で楽しめます。

海ガメウォッチングが一番船酔いしかけました。

シュノーケリングは、初心者でも大丈夫なように配慮してくれてます。時間はたっぷり取ってくれており、途中で満足した方は船で待機もできます。
ここからが基本寒かったので、濡れても良いTシャツや長袖があると良いと思います。

After looking at other reviews and some deliberation, I decided to go with this tour, and I was extremely satisfied!!

Since the entire tour is in English, it might be tough for those who only speak Japanese. We participated because we were abroad and wanted to experience it. There’s a lot of fun that can be conveyed through the atmosphere, so if you’re okay with not understanding every detail, it’s totally fine!

The bus guide was very good at keeping the energy up, and even when I couldn’t catch everything, I understood the vibe.

Once we arrived, there was a brief explanation of the food and drinks, and then we headed to the venue. The venue was outdoors, and it got a bit chilly as the sun went down, so I was glad I brought a light jacket.

There were optional activities and craft corners in Hawaii, and after a little while, the main event started! There was a whole pig roast performance, but I couldn’t get close enough to see it well. The buffet-style food included Hawaiian dishes and cakes, and it was delicious.

The show featured various performances, including hula and fire dancing, so it was never boring. There were also performances that involved bringing audience members on stage, which made it even more exciting. By the way, we were on our honeymoon, and there was a wonderful surprise during the stage performance that truly made us happy. If you’re on your honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary, I highly recommend it!

Overall, I was very satisfied, so I gave it five stars, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this is only for those who are okay with the entire tour being in English.

他の口コミも見つつ、悩んだ末にこのツアーにしましたが、大満足でした！！

基本的に全編英語の為、日本語じゃないと…という方には辛いかもしれません。私たちは折角海外なので…と参加しました。雰囲気で伝わってくる楽しさもありますし、細部まで分からなくても大丈夫という方なら全然ok！

バスガイドさんの盛り上げ方もとても上手で、聞き取れない時も雰囲気で分かりました。

着いたら簡単なご飯とドリンクの説明があり、会場へ。会場は屋外で、日が暮れると少し肌寒く羽織りを持っていて正解でした。

自由参加のハワイの遊びやクラフトコーナーがあり、少ししてから本編スタート！豚の丸焼きパフォーマンスがありましたが、前の方に行けずあまり見えませんでした。
バイキング形式のご飯ではハワイならではの料理やケーキもあり、美味しかったです。

ショーはフラからファイヤーダンス等色々で、飽きません。観客を舞台に上げてのパフォーマンスもあり、さらに盛り上がりました。
ちなみに私たちはハネムーンでしたが、このステージパフォーマンスで素敵なサプライズがあり、本当に嬉しかったです。ハネムーン、記念日の方は是非！

全体を通して、とても大満足でしたので星5つにしましたが、初めに書いた通り、前提として全編英語でも問題無い方に限ります。

I had a great time. However, due to the nearby mountains, we encountered unstable weather, and the trade winds were strong, making it too cold after being in the water. On the return bus, I had to wipe my body and lay a wet towel on the seat, and the air conditioning was too strong, making me feel very cold. Even though I couldn't change, I should have brought a towel jacket or socks to keep my ankles warm.

It seems better to check the shallow times before deciding on the sandbar. We encountered a day where the water was about ankle-deep, but the staff mentioned that it’s rare for it to become completely island-like.

As a side note, the staff were cheerful and kindly took photos for us, which was very helpful. I recommend it. Mahalo!

とても楽しめました。
ただ、山が近い事もありお天気が不安定な日に当たってしまい、貿易風も強く海に浸かった後が寒過ぎました。
帰りのバスでは身体を拭いて濡れたタオルを座席に敷いて帰らざるを得ないところに来て、エアコンが効き過ぎ身体が冷えまくりました。
着替えられなくとも、タオル地の上着や足首を温められる様に、靴下などを持ち込むべきでした。

サンドバー自体は、浅い時間を調べてから決めた方が良い様です。
私たちはくるぶし程度の場所もある様な日に当たりましたが、全くの島状態になる事は珍しいのだとスタッフの方も話してられました。

ついでの様になってしまいましたが、スタッフのみなさんもにこやかで、気さくに写真も撮ってくれたり助かりました。
おすすめです。mahalo！

We gathered at Hilton at 6 AM, and they seemed to have picked us up about 10 minutes earlier. When we went, the order of pickups was Prince → Hilton → Sheraton.

After about an hour's drive, we arrived at Waianae Harbor. We were supposed to board a medium-sized boat and head out, but on that day, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins in the shallows.

As we spotted dolphins in the distance, we hurried to get ready and jumped into the water. For those who can't swim or aren't very comfortable in the ocean, falling from the boat might be a bit scary. Hang in there!

After floating for a while, a pod of dolphins came by at intervals. The sea was very clear that day, and we could see them much more clearly than the last time we saw them. The dolphins would swim away and then come back or get close to us; it was truly a lucky day.

After saying goodbye to the dolphins and getting back on the boat, it was time for turtle snorkeling! Previously, we had seen two turtles of different sizes swimming together, but this time we only saw one medium-sized turtle. Two participants even touched the turtle, which was surprising...

After enjoying about 15 minutes of that, we split into those who would continue with stand-up paddleboarding & boating and those who would continue snorkeling. Since stand-up paddleboarding and boating can also be done at the hotel, we chose to continue snorkeling.

I was a bit disappointed thinking we might only see one turtle today, but after believing and waiting, we ended up seeing about 4 to 5 turtles in turn. I think we snorkeled for about 30 minutes. It was great to have so much time for snorkeling.

When everyone got back on the boat, lunch was served: cheeseburgers, juice, and snacks. The cheeseburgers were regular-sized and tasted average.

After that, we all danced the hula, which turned out to be surprisingly fun. I have participated in dolphin encounters before, but since this included snorkeling and hula dancing, I think I would choose the university program again next time.

ヒルトンは朝6時に集合、10分前には迎えに来ていたみたいです。私達のときはプリンス→ヒルトン→シェラトンの順で送迎でした。
そこから一時間ほど車に乗り、ワイアナエハーバーへ。中型のボートに乗り、沖へ…となる予定でしたが、この日は運良く浅瀬の方でイルカに出会えました。
少し先に見えるイルカを目で追いながら急いで準備をし、海に飛び込みます。
泳げない人や海にあまり慣れていない人は船から海に落ちるのが少し怖いかもしれません。頑張って！
しばらく浮いて待っていると、イルカの群れが数個時間差でやってきました。海がとても透明な日で、以前見たときより数倍はっきり見えました。
イルカが向こうに行ったと思ったらまた帰ってきたり、近くに来てくれたり、本当に運が良かった日でした。
イルカたちを見送って船に上がり、今度はウミガメシュノーケル！以前は大小２匹が一緒に泳いでいたのですが、この日は中くらい１匹を皆で見ました。ツアー参加者で二人、ウミガメに触っている人がいました。びっくり…。。
皆で15分楽しんだあとはスタンダップパドル&ボート組とシュノーケル続行組に別れました。
スタンダップパドルとボートはホテルでもできるので、シュノーケル続行組にしました。
今日はウミガメ１匹かな、と少し残念でしたが、ひたすら信じて待っていたところ、計4～5匹ほど順番に現れてくれました。計30分くらいはシュノーケルしたと思います。時間的にたくさんシュノーケルできて良かったです。
皆が船に上がるとランチのチーズバーガー・ジュース・スナックが出ました。チーズバーガーは普通サイズで味も普通。
そのあとはフラダンスを皆で踊り、これが意外と楽しかったです。
イルカ中学にも参加したことがありますが、シュノーケルの長さとフラダンスがあるので次参加する場合はまた大学の方を選ぶと思います。

By far one of the better things done while in Oahu!

This was one of the best things I did, It was beyond Great !

Overall, I had an enriching American-style tour experience. As soon as we arrived at the sandbar, we went snorkeling and saw the fish underwater. My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, was thrilled by the colorful fish! After getting down to the sandbar, we played volleyball with a net that was set up. Chasing the ball, passing it, and applauding nice plays created an unexpected sense of camaraderie. The BBQ lunch we had when we got hungry was incredibly delicious. The staff were kind and cheerful, and there were staff members who understood Japanese, which made for a fun and truly memorable experience.

とにかく、アメリカ的で充実したツアーが体験できました。サンドバーに着くなり、シュノーケリングで海中の魚を見ました。色とりどりの魚の姿に、初めてシュノーケリングを体験した夫は大喜び！　サンドバーに降りた後、張られたネットでバレーボールをしました。ボールを追いかけてパスしたり、ナイスプレーに拍手したり、思わぬ連帯感を感じました。お腹がすいて食べたＢＢＱランチはすご～い美味しかった～。スタッフが親切で明るくて、日本語が分かるスタッフもいたので、楽しくてすごくいい思い出ができました。

Shuttle service to Hanauma Bay with inclusion of snorkelling hire + flippers. Some additional hire costs $3 for add on to snorkel deeper without water coming into snorkel. Reliable timing of pick up and drop off. Friendly staff. Booked last minute and was very happy with service.

This was probably one of our more strenuous/lengthier hikes (water and proper footwear are highly recommended- it can get slippery on the trail). It was a lot of fun. We did cross some streams which were a bit difficult for some. You will get sweaty, wet, and dirty. No bathrooms, of course, so be prepared.
Great views. Tour guide was excellent, very passionate, helpful, and knowledgeable! Lunch was pretty good- everyone seemed to like it. Private mountain pool swim was enjoyed by most.

The boat crew for the parasailing consisted of two people. The captain appeared very trustworthy, and I felt comfortable entrusting the operation of the boat to him. On the other hand, the staff who helped us with the parachute was cheerful and took us up to 150 meters above the sea in a fun way.

It was amazing.

However, there was a mention of some cash in the explanation, so don't forget to tip the boat captain and staff, as well as the tip when paying for the SD card that had the photos taken during the parasailing.

パラシュートを引っ張るボートの乗組員は2人。
キャプテンは見た目誠実そうで、ボートの操縦を安心して、任せられるお人柄。
一方、パラシュートを上げてくれるスタッフは陽気で、私たちを楽しく海上150メートルまで上げてくれました。

最高でした。

ただ、説明で少々の現金とありましたが、
ボートのキャプテンとスタッフに渡すチップと
パラセイル中の写真を撮ってもらったSDガードの
代金を払うときのチップをお忘れなく。

we had a great time. people were very helpful and courteous. I would suggest everyone try it. thanks

The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but it was very beautiful. The water was up to my waist, and I was truly moved by the scenery that can only be seen in Hawaii! The staff were all friendly, and the cheeseburger was delicious. It was a bit cold on the way back, but I had a great time. Thank you very much.

曇り時々晴れの天気ですがとても綺麗でした。
海面は腰位までありましたが、やはりハワイでないとみられない景色に感動です！！
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーでチーズバーガーも美味しかった。
帰りはちょっと寒かったけどとても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.

Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.

After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)

The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!

サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。

それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。

濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です！(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)

ボートの上で食べるハンバーガーは美味しかったです！
