All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

This was my sixth dinner cruise out of Waikiki I will have to say that this was exceptional and far exceeded my expectations the staff was wonderful our waiter was just absolutely amazing she did a great job and the food was very good service went well entertainment was nice and all in all it was a beautiful cruise

The weather was great, and the show was held successfully. I got a bit lost on my way there and arrived just in time for the start, but since I had a premium seat, I ended up in the front row. The buffet had a lot of delicious food. The hula dance and fire dance were very impressive and exciting. In the conch shell blowing contest, a Japanese person won!

好天に恵まれ、無事ショーが開催されました。
現地に向かっているとちょっと迷ってしまい、開始時間ギリギリに着いたのですが、プレミアムシートだったためか席は一番前の席でした。
ビュッフェもお料理がたくさんあり美味しかったです。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも迫力満点でとても興奮しました。
ホラ貝吹きコンテストでは日本人の方が優勝されてました笑

We were blessed with good weather on the day.
As we headed to the meeting point, we found an open-air bus!
It was a very pleasant ride to the activity location.
However, while heading out to sea by boat, one family member got seasick... it was quite rocky.
If you're prone to motion sickness, don't forget to take some medication.
The paragliding itself was amazing, as we went up to a very high point with the best view!

当日はお天気にも恵まれました。
集合場所に向かうとオープンエアーのバス！
アクティビティの場所までとても気持ちよく向かいました。
が、沖合いに船で向かっていると家族の１人が船酔い...けっこう揺れます。
酔いやすい方は酔い止めの服用を忘れずに。
肝心のパラセイリングはとても高いところまで上って最高の眺めでした！

Last year, I went to Haleiwa, but I didn't have enough time to explore, so I decided to use this service this time. The free exploration time was 200 minutes, which coincided perfectly with lunchtime, so I was able to enjoy the shrimp that the driver recommended, which I had been curious about. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but since it's nature, that's understandable. Despite having a somewhat rude customer, the driver handled everything professionally. Thank you very much.
I recommend this for those who want to take their time exploring Haleiwa! Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.

昨年ハレイワへ行きましたが、十分に散策時間がとれなかったため今回こちらを利用しました。自由散策時間が200分で、ちょうどお昼時間にかかっているので、ドライバーさんもおすすめだった、気になっていたシュリンプもがっつり食べることができて良かったです。残念ながら亀には会えませんでしたが、自然相手ですから、それもしょうがないですね。ちょっとルードなお客さんがいたにもかかわらず、ドライバーさん、プロな対応でした。ありがとうございました。
ハレイワをゆっくり回りたい方、おすすめです！
今度は乗馬もしてみたいな。

It is a great experience doing the Underwater scooter. The guides were excellent making sure we are comfortable right from the beginning. It was a 1 to 1 guided adventure. The guides captured excellent pictures and videos of us individually and as as a couple with the beautiful fishes!. The plus thing is they do have all the snorkeling gear available for free so once you are done or you decide when your turn is you can do snorkeling.

It was an awesome day for us! Love the crews, the beautiful ocean

Staff was nice and divers made everything feel very safe. Very cool experience to have fish eating out of your hands.

Instructors knew their gig, we had a blast, even my gf who is afraid of heights thought it was not scary (at 500 feet).

My sister and I jumped 150 meters, but surprisingly, I got sick in the air. I took motion sickness medication before going, which helped with the car ride, but the boat's swaying was quite strong, and I quickly felt unwell. Although I felt sick, the activity itself was really fun. For those who want to try it, I recommend taking motion sickness medication and not eating beforehand.

姉と二人で１５０ｍ飛びましたが、なんと空中でもどしてしまいました。酔い止めは飲んで行ったのですが、車の揺れには効いても、ボートの揺れはかなり強く、すぐに気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔って気持ちが悪いということはありましたが、アクティビティ自体は、すごく楽しかったです。挑戦される方には、酔い止めを必ず飲むこと以外に、食事をしてこないことをおススメします。

It was an early morning tour, and I was really worried that the water would be cold, but surprisingly, once I got in, it wasn't that cold at all. From the moment I saw the sharks, I was completely captivated (laughs). However, the boat was really rocky, so snorkeling didn't make much sense (laughs). I took motion sickness medicine, so I didn't feel seasick at all, and when we boarded, no one felt unwell. I was satisfied with the number of sharks we saw! However, because of the rocking, I couldn't take very nice photos~ ★ It’s expensive, but buying the DVD might be a good idea~. We did (laughs). Since it's something you can't do often, it's worth it (^^)/ I recommend it for those looking for excitement~ (＾◇＾).

朝早いツアーだったのと、水が冷たいんじゃないかとそれがすごく心配だったが、意外と入ってしまえばそこまで寒くもなく、もうシャークが見えた瞬間から夢中（笑）ただ揺れがすごいからシュノーケルはあまり意味なし（笑）酔い止め飲んでたからまったく船酔いもせずにうちらが乗ったときは誰一人として具合悪い人いなかった。かなりの数のシャーク見れて満足！ただやっぱり揺れがすごいから写真はあまりきれいにとれなかったな～★高いけどDVD買うのがいいかも～。うちらはかった（笑）なかなかできないことだからやる価値はあり(^^)/刺激が欲しい人にはおススメ～(＾◇＾)

We experienced this with five children aged 5, 4, 3, and 2 during a family trip. Each child had one adult accompanying them, entering the water together (with the water depth around the adult's waist), and there was one trainer for each group.

At the trainer's signal, we called the dolphins, and they showed us various tricks. We were also able to touch the dolphins. The trainer taught us how to pose for photos, and a dedicated photographer took pictures for us.

The adults were even more impressed by being so close to the dolphins than the children! (laughs)

家族旅行で5.4.3.2歳の5人の子供達と体験しました。
子供1人につき大人1人がついて、一緒に水の中に入り（大人で腰あたりの水深）、トレーナーさんが1人付きます。
トレーナーさんの合図でイルカを呼び、様々な芸を見せてくれます。イルカに触ったりも出来ます。
写真のポーズの仕方など教えてもらい、専属のカメラマンが、写真を撮ってくれます。

子供以上に大人が間近にいるイルカに感動しました！笑

Using the Passport is a great way to visit all four areas at your own pace. Spend an entire day taking your time to truly appreciate each site without a tour company rushing you along to "stay on schedule "! The audio tour is included so you will learn everything that a tour guide can tell you. Simply rent a car, take a cab or take The Bus to get there and enjoy your day. You should plan on being there early as the center gets extremely busier as the day goes along.

We had a wonderful day with AC as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, pointing out local sites and giving history along the way. He bent over backwards to accommodate everyone on the tour, taking each group to their favorite locations, running back and forth moving us around from hot spot to hotspot as we each finished our excursions. He was very professional at all times. We would hIghly recommend him as a tour guide. We had a blast! He even went out of his way to go back and find a lost article for us- which fell out of the van at a previous stop.

I really enjoyed my time on the captain Bobs tour! I would definitely do it again and would recommend it to all my friends. It's a must do when visiting Hawaii! The company crew was awesome! Very friendly:) can't wait to go back!

We had a great time on the submarine! Our guide was the best.

Had a great time. Good food (and lots of it) and meeting new people is always fun. It was an intimate setting with a with a friendly and attentive staff. The performers were great; performing dances from the various Polynesian cultures. The view of the city lights from the ship was beautiful as was the sunset. Definitely recommend this dinner cruise for first timers and using the transportation that is offered.

The weather was really nice on the day of the tour, and I was glad I chose the canyon tour. Although December is not typically a hot season for Hawaii, it can get quite warm in the blazing sun. This tour felt more like a forest tour than a canyon horseback ride, but riding along the winding mountain paths under the dappled sunlight of the trees was very pleasant. Additionally, we were able to see wild boars while crossing the grassy area on the hill.

The horse I rode was one that had been used for polo, and it felt like it was retired and spending its old age in a nursing home. It seemed quite old, large, but very calm and easy to ride. At the pasture, there were some lively horses that looked like they had just recently retired. Since they had been used for polo, they were well-trained and could be controlled with the reins to go left, right, or stop. However, if you zone out, the horse might try to squeeze through the trees, which could lead to branches scratching your arms or legs. It’s best to wear a hat, long sleeves, long pants, and athletic shoes. The tour guide mentioned wearing helmets, but there was no mention of helmets on-site.

You can place valuables in the saddlebag and hang it on the saddle. Once you get used to it, you can hold a camera in one hand and take pictures. Some horses might try to graze along the way, so you need to signal that it’s not allowed; otherwise, you’ll fall behind.

The instructor leading the group was a thin woman named Angel, whose age was hard to tell (maybe quite old?). She wore a Santa-style hat (but in blue with white trim!) and sunglasses, giving her a somewhat quirky appearance. She was constantly chatting, which was entertaining.

Riding a horse for an extended period (it was about an hour, I think) while navigating the winding mountain paths is quite a unique experience. I was glad I chose this tour. If I had to wish for something, I would have preferred a slightly livelier horse (laughs).

当日はとても良い天気で渓谷ツアーを選んで良かったと思いました。12月でハワイとしてはそれ程暑くない季節のようですが、炎天下にいるとかなり暑いです。このツアーは渓谷乗馬というよりは林間ツアーと呼んだ方が合っている感じはしますが、木々の木漏れ日の中のアップダウンの続く山道を馬に乗っていくのはとても気持ちが良いものです。また、丘の上の草原を横切る時には野生の猪を見ることもできました。
馬はポロで使われていた馬で、人間でいうと、仕事を退職して老後を老人ホームで過ごしているという感じかな。かなり年取ってるようで、大きいけど、大人しく乗り易かったです。放牧場の方では、まだ退職したばかりと思われる元気のいいのが走り回っていました。ポロで使われていたため、しっかり調教されていて、手綱で右へ左へ止まれなどコントロールできます。但し、ぼけっとしていると木々のギリのところを通ろうとするので、枝で腕や足をひっかかれます。できれば、帽子・長袖・長ズボン・運動靴がベターです。ツアーの案内には、ヘルメット着用とありましたが、現地ではヘルメットの話は一切ありませんでした。貴重品は鞍掛バッグに入れて鞍にかけておけます。慣れてくると片手でカメラを持って写真も撮れます。また、馬によっては道草(まさに途中に生えている草を食べる）するのがいるので、ダメという意思表示をする必要があります。そうしないとどんどん遅れてしまいます。
先頭を行くインストラクターはエンジェルさんという年齢不詳(かなりの歳？）の痩せた女性。形がサンタ風(でも色が青で白い縁飾り付き！）の帽子をかぶってサングラスをかけた、一見奇妙な感じのお婆さん(ってお爺さんの私が言うのも変ですが）で、ひっきりなしに喋ってる人でした。これも面白かった。
自分で手綱を持って長時間（正味1時間くらいだったでしょうか）馬に乗る、しかも山道をくねくねと登ったり下ったり、なんて中々できない経験だと思います。このツアーを選んで良かったと思いました。欲言えば、自分としてはもう少し元気のいい馬の方が良かったかな(笑）。

I was impressed by the incredibly beautiful sea!

I was a bit anxious because my elderly mother was with me, but the staff were kind and we were able to enjoy ourselves. I especially appreciate the help from the staff member "Yuki," who I believe is Japanese. I would like to visit again during the season when the sandy beach appears.

Also, I was disappointed for being late to the meeting time, but I am grateful that the VELTRA staff called the hotel and made new arrangements for us. Thank you very much!

と～っても綺麗な海で感激しました＼(^o^)／

年老いた母が一緒だったので少し不安でしたが、スタッフのみなさんが親切で楽しむことができました。特に日本人（と思います）スタッフの「ｙｕｋｉ」さんお世話になりました。今度は砂浜が現れる季節に行きたいと思います。

また、集合時間に遅れてしまいがっかりしていたところに、VELTRAのスタッフの方がホテルに電話をくださり、新たに手配くださったのにも感謝です。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

I wanted to go to Manoa Falls and this was the best bet for me and my friends. It was inexpensive, easy and did the job! Would do it again :)

It was fun because, whether by chance or not, there were more people from America and Australia than Japanese, and we had a lively and cheerful time while parasailing. Tips were necessary.

たまたまなのか、日本人よりもアメリカ、オーストラリアの方の比率が高く、パラセイル中も和気藹々として盛り上がったので楽しかったです。
チップが必要でした。

I signed up with the assumption that I could ride horses by the beach at North Shore and run them along the shoreline, but that was a naive thought. The trail goes by the coast, but it doesn't reach the ocean. The course is overgrown with tall grass, and the view isn't very good. The horses are well accustomed to people, and even when there were loud noises (like gunshots?), they didn't get agitated. I think this is suitable for beginners.

ノースショアの海辺で乗馬ができる、波打ち際で馬を走らせる事ができるとの勝手な思い込みで申し込みをしましたが甘い考えでした。海岸の側は通りますが海には行きません。コースに背の高い草が茂っており、眺めも余り良くないです。馬は良く人に慣れており、途中大きな音（拳銃の発射音？）がしても暴れることも無かったです。初心者向きの乗馬かなと思います。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandy beach, but the tour was very good! I forgot the name (sorry...), but the Japanese female staff member was cute, funny, and made it enjoyable♪ They also called the fish with food for snorkeling, and my kindergarten-aged daughter was able to have a great time. The water was about waist-deep for her, so I want to try again next time!

残念ながら砂浜はみれませんでしたがツアーはとてもよかったです！名前は忘れてしましましたが(すいません・・）日本人の女性スタッフの方がかわいくておもしろくて楽しめました♪シュノーケルもエサで魚をよんでくれて、幼稚園児の娘でもしっかり楽しむことができました。水面が娘だと腰くらいまであったので、次回またリベンジしたいです！

We departed early in the morning and boarded the shuttle bus next to the nearby hotel, listening to explanations from a Japanese female guide for an hour until we arrived at the island's west coast! I was worried about getting motion sickness on the bus and the boat, so I took my medicine early. Changing into my swimsuit at the hotel was definitely the right choice. Also, I was able to rent a wetsuit on-site for $10. Once I was ready, it was time to board. The waves were intense, but the sea breeze felt great, and fortunately, it cleared up despite the rain forecast.

When we reached the spot, the crew immediately had everyone jump in as soon as they spotted dolphins! When I put my face in the water, I saw a huge pod of dolphins!! Although we couldn't get super close, I was thrilled to see wild dolphins swimming in groups. We jumped in about twice, and afterward, we had around 30 minutes of free time for canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. While snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle! It was coming up for air every 20 minutes, and I was able to see it up close, which was very moving.

After that, we had cheeseburgers and chips on the boat. It was incredibly delicious after all the activity. Finally, we all participated in a hula dance. The staff really got everyone excited, and we were able to enjoy ourselves until the end. I think this became the best memory of this trip.

早朝の出発で、近くのホテル横にて送迎バスに乗り込み、日本人の女性ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら1時間、島の西海岸に到着！
バス酔いと船酔いが心配なので早めに薬を飲みました。
ホテルで水着に着替えておいて正解です。
また、ウェットスーツのレンタルはその場で1人$10でできました。
身支度を済ませたらいざ乗船。揺れは凄まじいですが、何より潮風が気持ちよく、雨予報でしたが幸運なことに晴れてきてくれました。
ポイントに着くと、クルーがイルカを発見次第即全員とにかく飛び込み！顔を水中に付けてみるとイルカの大群！！
超接近とまではいきませんでしたが、野生の泳ぐイルカを群れで見ることができ、感激しました。
2度程飛び込みをし、その後はカヌーやスタンドアップパドル、シュノーケルなどで30分程自由時間でした。
シュノーケルをしていたら海亀を発見！しかも20分に1度に水面へ呼吸しに上がってくるタイミングでした。超間近で海亀を見ることができ、とても感動しました。
その後、船の上でチーズバーガーとチップスをいただきました。沢山動いた後だったので、凄く美味しかったです。
最後は皆でフラダンス。スタッフさんが盛り上げて下さり、最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。今回の旅行の一番の思い出になったと思います。

The guide was very energetic and it was fun! We got to see sea turtles, which was amazing. On the way back, I think it would be good to have an extra hoodie or something since it gets cold! I want to go again at a different time!!!

ガイドさんがテンション高くて楽しかった！海ガメも見れて、最高でした。帰りは、寒いので余分にパーカーとかあるといいかなと思います！また、違う時期に行きたい！！！

I thought it was understandable that I might not see dolphins since they are wild animals, but I really wanted to see them. However, I was thrilled to encounter a pod of over 50 dolphins! It became a wonderful memory. There were a few regulars who mentioned that they had seen dolphins every time they participated. In the end, all the participants joyfully danced the hula, and some people were so moved that they ended up crying! I want to participate again.

自然相手のものだから、イルカに会えなくても仕方ないとは思って参加したものの、絶対見たいと思っていました。しかし、５０匹以上のイルカの群れに会うことが出来て大感激！
とてもいい思い出になりました。常連さんが何組か一緒でしたが毎回イルカには会えていると話してくれました。最後は参加者全員で元気にフラを踊って、感動して泣いちゃっている方々もいらっしゃいました！また参加したいです。

A year after our wedding, we finally made it to Hawaii! And I got to meet dolphins for the first time, which I've always dreamed of!

We woke up early, and I thought I would definitely fall asleep on the bus, but I was too excited about seeing the dolphins to sleep at all. Once we arrived at the ocean and changed, we were ready to go to the spot—let's go!!!

The waves were a bit high today, which made me feel a little blue at first. But after a while, the captain said we could see dolphins, and all my worries disappeared! When we got into the water, there were supposedly only a few, but about ten dolphins came to greet us. I was strangely moved to see dolphins in person for the first time.

I'm so glad I bought an underwater camera—really glad (waiting for the development, haha). After enjoying that experience, we returned to the boat and headed to the snorkeling spot! On the way, we even saw a whale! The crew mentioned that it's rare to see them up close like that. We were super lucky!

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got in, unfortunately, the water was really murky, so it wasn't great for snorkeling. I have to deduct one star for that.

We quickly returned to the boat and had a cheeseburger for lunch! The taro buns were amazing—way better than anything from a regular shop!

That wrapped up the tour. I fell asleep on the bus, probably from all the swimming, and when I woke up, we were in Honolulu.

I got to meet dolphins, the cheeseburger was delicious, and the crew was all really nice. I definitely want to join again!

It was such a wonderful honeymoon memory!!!

ハネムーンで1年ぶりのハワイ！そして念願の初めてのイルカ！
朝は早く、バスでは絶対に寝ちゃうと思っていたけどイルカに逢えるワクワクで全然寝れず。。。
海に到着して着替えも済ませていざポイントへLet's Go!!!
今日は少し波が高めなのか、ちょっと気持ちがブルーになりかけちゃいました。
だけどしばらくしたらcaptainからイルカが見えるよの言葉で気持ち悪さも吹っ飛び！
いざ海に入ってみると、数は少ないらしいがちゃんとイルカちゃん達10匹くらい？がお出迎えしてくれました。
初めて生で見たイルカに妙に感動。
水中カメラ買っていって良かった〜、本当に良かった〜(現像待ち笑)
十分に堪能したら船に戻り今度はシュノーケリングスポットへ！その途中でクジラも見れました！クルーも言ってたけど、こんなに近くで見れることなんてないとのこと。めちゃくちゃラッキーでした！
シュノーケリングスポットついて入ってみるととてもじゃないけど水が濁っていてシュノーケリングどころじゃなかったのが残念でした。ここで星ひとつ減点。
早々に船に戻り、昼ごはんにチーズバーガー！タロイモのバンズ、最高でしたー！そこら辺の店よりもはるかに美味しかった！
これでツアーはおしまい。
バスに戻って泳いで疲れたのか即爆睡。気づいた頃にはホノルルでした。
イルカに会えたし、チーズバーガーも美味しいし、クルーはみんないい人だったし是非また参加したいです。
とってもいいハネムーンの思い出です！！！

In Honolulu for business, I had just one day free and wanted to make the best of it. Ending the day with the Chief's Luau was the best decision I could have made. The show was the best part, really phenomenal entertainment and well worth the price. The ride out to the venue held spectacular views. Loved the whole experience.

Loved the beachside trail walk, smaller group so book early. I'll come back again for sure!

It takes about an hour to drive from Honolulu. There were about 25 participants in the tour, including a small child around 5 years old.

After about 30 minutes on the boat heading north from the dock, we heard a shout of "There they are!!" and everyone dove into the sea! We got to play with about 30 friendly dolphins, who swam around us in circles, allowing us to enjoy the experience to the fullest. It seems that such encounters are rare, and when they can't be found, the boat returns to the starting point and moves to different locations to dive about six times (according to the staff, it’s a test of stamina).

After the dolphin time, it was time for the turtle experience. We enjoyed snorkeling while learning about the turtles. Those who wanted could also try paddle boarding and kayaking, so I decided to try paddle boarding. I struggled a bit but felt motivated to challenge myself a little more. It was a valuable experience.

When we returned to the boat, it was lunchtime! The staff distributed cheeseburgers and snacks, and we ate while moving back to the dock. After lunch, we had a fun hula dance time with the staff! We were also lucky to spot a whale spouting in the distance during our journey.

ホノルルから車で移動すること約1時間。ツアー参加者は25人程度。5歳くらいの小さなお子さんも参加していました。
船着場から船で北上すること約30分。いたー！！という声で一斉に海へダイブ！30頭ものいるか先生たちが遊んでくれました！とても人懐っこいようでぐるぐると何周も私たちの周りを泳いでくれたので、これでもか！！ってくらい堪能できました。こんなことは稀なようで、なかなか見つからないときは6回位船に戻ってはポイントを移動しつつダイブするそうです（スタッフによると体力勝負とのことでした）。
いるかの時間が終わると、カメ教授の時間です。シュノーケルをしながらカメ教授の時間を堪能しました。希望者はここでパドルボートとカヤックの体験が可能だったため、パドルボートを体験。なかなか成功できず、もう少しチャレンジしたい気もちになりました。貴重な体験ができました。
船に戻るとランチタイムです♪スタッフからチーズバーガーやスナックを配給され、それらを食べながら船着場まで移動しました。ランチタイムが終わるとスタッフとのりのりのフラダンスタイム！！移動中遠くで潮を吹くクジラの姿も見れてラッキーなことが多発でした。

I probably wouldn't have chosen this if it were an adult-only trip, but since this was a trip with my grandchildren, I participated in this tour that my one-year-old grandchild could uniquely experience.

I had seen comments saying, "It's not as big as expected," so I didn't have high expectations for the scale and instead enjoyed the animals that we could see and touch up close. Touching a dolphin was, I believe, my first and last experience, and my five-year-old grandchild was overjoyed. It might have been a bit too early for my one-year-old grandchild (who didn't seem scared but disliked the life jacket). The location is also fantastic.

I purchased the commemorative photos as data, but there was a problem where they weren't included on the CD I brought back. However, the staff at Sea Life Park and the staff at Veltra, whom I asked for help, were very kind and assisted me in obtaining the data successfully.

大人だけの旅行でしたらたぶん選択しなかったと思いますが、今回は孫たちとの旅行だったので１歳の孫が唯一体験できるこのツアーに参加致しました。
「期待するほどの規模ではない」との書き込みを見ていたので、規模には期待することなく、間近で見られるそして触れる動物たちを楽しみました。
イルカに触れたのは、私にとって最初で最後の体験だと思いますし、５歳の孫も大喜びでした。１歳の孫にはやはり早すぎたかも。（怖がるのではなくライフジャケットを嫌がっていました）ロケーションも最高です。

記念写真をデータで購入したのですが、持ち帰ったCDに入っていないというトラブルがありましたが、シーライフパークのスタッフの方々、そして助けを求めたベルトラさんのスタッフの方にご親切に対応して頂き、無事データを入手致しました。
