All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

Had an awesome adventure! Would highly recommend this excursion!

The sandbar in Hawaii is definitely a place you want to visit at least once. The weather was cloudy, and although it was March, it was a bit chilly. Once you get in the water, you get used to it, but it felt quite cold when you got back on land.

It should take about 1 hour and 30 minutes by bus from Honolulu, but it took over 2 hours due to delays from picking up other tour guests, which was tough.

That said, I was very satisfied with the tour! Especially during the sea turtle watching, we unexpectedly saw a group of manta rays, which was a surprise! The guide mentioned it was quite rare, and the manta rays appeared before the sea turtles, leaving everyone on the tour looking puzzled.

The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! 😊

ハワイで一度は行ってみたいであろうサンドバー。当日の天気は曇りで、3月でしたが、やや肌寒かったです。いったん水に浸かれば慣れますが、また陸に上がると結構冷えました。
ホノルルからはバスで1時間30分くらいのはずですが、往路で他のツアー客のピックアップに時間がかかって2時間以上かかったのが辛かったです。。
何はともあれ、ツアーの内容は大満足！特にウミガメウォッチの時に偶然マンタの群れを見ることが出来、ビックリしました！ガイドさんもかなり珍しいと言われていたのですが、ウミガメより先にマンタが登場して、ツアー客はみんな？？って顔をしてましたけど笑

昼食のハンバーガーも大変美味しく頂きました(^^)

The 150m extreme ride was amazing.
Indeed, altitude is important for parasailing!
I had experienced a lower altitude before, but this was on a different level.
The breathtaking view from the highest point is something you can never experience from the ground.
If you are going to try parasailing, definitely choose the 150m option.

高さ150ｍのエクストリームライド最高でした。
やはりパラセイルは高度が大切ですね！
以前にも低い高度のそれを体験したのですが段違いでした。
最高地点からの絶景は決して地上からでは体験できない最高の眺めです。
皆様もパラセイルを体験するなら是非150ｍを選択してください。

The beautiful, clear sea allowed me to see the dolphins swimming right below me! The sea turtle professor swims slowly, so I could see it up close!

綺麗な海で透き通っているので、イルカ先生が泳いでいくのを自分が泳いでいる真下で見ることができました！！
ウミガメ大教授はゆっくり泳いでいるのですごく近くで見れます!

Someone asked me today what my favorite activity was in Hawaii and I told them hands down the Dolphin and Snorkel Catamaran trip was the best and most memorable. We got to see a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and then snorkeling saw some Sea Turtles and many varieties of tropical fish. The wind picked up enough on our way back that the crew put the beautiful sails up and we sailed back .The food and drink were great and the crew were beyond helpful and so much fun. This is the one activity I would be sure to do again when we come back to Oahu!

unfortunatly it rained on the day, but still took part in both activites, the zip line is fun even in the rain. The staff at the ranch are all very friendly and helpful and well organised, making sure that everyone makes their activity and their coach home. If you get a free lunch, the choice is limited, so if you are a fussy eater, take something with you or you can buy something from the shop, over all this was a good experience

The bus arrived late at the meeting point, which made me worried, but it came 8 minutes late. If the road was congested, it can't be helped.
The activity was extremely satisfying. My husband, who was scared, seemed to enjoy it so much that he said he wanted to do it again! It seems that parasailing is available in other places on Oahu, but I'm glad we chose this one where we could enjoy the view of Waikiki. We also had a great time with the other participants.

On the day of the reservation, it was canceled due to rain. We didn't know it was canceled until we called the local office. After the call, I received an email from Veltra. I think it would be reassuring to know in advance who will contact us and how, and by what time before the meeting.

集合場所にバスが来るのが遅かったので、心配していたのですが、8分遅れで来てくれました。道が混んでたなら、仕方ないですね。
アクティビティは大満足の内容でした。怖がっていた旦那さんも、もう一回やりたい！と話すくらい、楽しめた様でした。オアフ島内他の場所でもパラセーリングは
出来る様ですが、ワイキキの街を眺められるこちらを選んで良かったです。また、同乗の方々とも楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

予約当日は雨で中止となりました。こちらが現地の事務所に電話するまで中止かどうかわかりませんでした。電話してから、veltraさんからメールが来ました。予め、集合何分前までに、誰から、どんな方法で連絡が来るか分かると安心できるとおもいます。

On the morning of the day, unfortunately, it was cloudy. There was a hurricane around Oahu, and it had rained heavily the day before, so I was disappointed. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, I thought, "I'm glad I came!" Although it wasn't clear skies, by midday, the weather turned into a pleasant beach day. As expected of Hawaii. The guide mentioned, "If it hadn't rained the day before, it would have been even more beautiful," but I was more than satisfied with the experience. I want to go again on a sunny day. The crew members were all friendly and made me feel at ease.

当日朝は、あいにくの曇り空。オアフ島周辺にハリケーンがあり、前日も大雨で今回は残念‥と思っていました。
しかし、サンドバーに着いた時には「来て良かった！」と思うことができました。快晴では無かったのですが、昼近くになるとカラッとした海日和となりました。さすがハワイ。
ガイドのお姉さんは「前日の雨がなければ、もっと綺麗だよ。」とおっしゃったのですが、十分満足出来る内容でした。次は快晴の日に行きたいです。
クルーの方は皆さん気さくで安心感がありました。

Parasailing was incredibly fun. The staff responded to my limited English conversation, and communicating with other foreign guests, even in broken phrases, was enjoyable. My son said it was the most fun he had on this trip.

However, I was a bit surprised by the local disbandment. It would be perfect if there was support for the return trip. Best of luck to you.

パラセーリング、すっげー楽しい
スタッフの方もつたない英会話に反応してくれましたし、
外国のお客様方とコミュニケーションも片言ですが楽しい
息子も今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言っています

ただ現地解散というのがちっとびっくりしました。
帰りのフォローあれば完璧です。
ご健闘よろしくお願いします。

What a site to see, I loved every bit of this activity.

I was to scared to go but my friends and family had a great time. The staff was super friendly and understanding.

The sandbar's sea was incredibly beautiful! The water level was up to my chest due to the high tide, which was more than I had imagined, but we had fun playing with a beach ball!
I also got to see cute turtles, and there were so many fish while snorkeling—it was the best! ★
The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious too!＼(^o^)／
The staff were fun and made our time very comfortable! ♪♪

サンドバーの海、すごい綺麗でした！イメージしてたより、満ち潮の影響で胸くらいまで水位があったけど、ビーチボールもできて楽しかったです！
かわいい亀も見れたし、シュノーケルもたっくさんお魚が見れて、最高でした★
船で食べた、ハンバーガーも美味しかったです＼(^o^)／
スタッフさんも楽しい片たちで心地よく過ごせました♪♪

My friends and I had a good time here. Many different thinks to keep us occupied. Love seeing the sea turtles.

I participated for the first time in five years. This time, it was a one-hour horseback riding session (without transportation), and I drove from my hotel in Honolulu to the location, arriving about 30 minutes before check-in began. There were many participants, including Japanese people, on that day. The weather was decent.

Before riding, we watched a Japanese DVD for instructions and safety precautions (about 3 minutes), and then mounted the horses as instructed by the instructor. We had to wait briefly until everyone in our group was mounted before we could depart. There were about 15 people in our group.

Once the tour started, we lined up and proceeded through the mountains. Occasionally, a horse would start eating grass by the roadside, but a quick tug on the reins would bring it back in line, so there were no issues.

After a complete loop around the property, the tour ended. I think the actual time spent riding was about 30 minutes. It ended so quickly that I felt a bit nostalgic.

There are horseback riding tours available on islands other than Oahu, so I would like to participate in a different tour next time.

5年ぶりに参加しました。
今回は1時間の乗馬（送迎なし）でしたが、現地まではホノルル市内のホテルからレンタカーで移動し、受付開始の30分くらい前に到着。当日は日本人を含め、たくさんの参加者がいました。天気はまずまずでした。
馬に乗る前には日本語のDVDによる説明・注意事項を見て（約3分くらい）、インストラクターの指示通りに馬に乗ります。グループ毎に出発するので、全員が馬に乗るまで一時待機。
約15人くらいのグループでした。
ツアーが始まると、一列に並んで、山の中を進みます。たまに、馬が道端の草を食べ始めたりしますが、「こら！」と手綱を引けば、すぐに列に戻るので問題ありません。
そんなこんなで敷地内をぐるっと一周して終了です。実際に馬に乗っている時間は、全部で約30分くらいだと思います。あっという間に終わってしまったので、名残りおしかったです。
オアフ島以外でも乗馬のツアーはあるので、今度は違うツアーに参加したいと思います。

Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!

My friends and I had so much fun. The whole cruise was a great experience. The crew was super friendly. Our guide, Ryan, was great. He was very knowledgeable so we actually learned some things which was cool. Would have liked to spend a little more time on the sandbar but overall, would definitely recommend doing this!

wish I could have went snorkeling but due to a sewage spill it didn't happen but hey its happened but I'm not mad !!!!!! this place was very nice about contacting me and making sure I received my money back on time!!

I was moved by the beautiful sea and sky. I had been very busy shopping until then, so it was soothing and felt really nice.

The instructor was also very lively and it was fun.

綺麗な海と空に感動しました。
それまで買い物で大忙しだったので、癒されて、とても気持ち良かったです。

インストラクターさんも、ノリが良くて、楽かったです。

This was my second time participating. I made a reservation because I wanted to see dolphins again, just like when I went on my honeymoon. He was scared of the ocean and didn't want to go, but he was excited to see wild dolphins up close. In the end, he was happily chatting with the staff.
On that day, 8 out of 12 groups were honeymooners. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this activity.

私は2回目の参加でした。自分の新婚旅行で行った時にももう一度イルカに会いたくて予約しました。彼は海が怖いので嫌がっていましたが、野生のイルカをこんなに近くで見られて興奮していました。最後にはスタッフの方と楽しく話していました。
この日12組中8組がハネムーナーでした。船もあまり揺れないのでオススメのアクティビティーです。

The water surface was quite deep due to the time of day, but it was beautiful. The BBQ hamburgers and snorkeling were delicious, and I had a great time!

時間帯の問題でかなり深い水面でしたが、綺麗でした。
BBQのハンバーガーやｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞも美味しいし、楽しかったです❗

I was really looking forward to the sandbar, but on this day it was high tide. The water was up to my waist, and the weather was cloudy, so it was disappointing. If you plan to participate, I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before signing up.

とても楽しみにしていたサンドバーですがこの日は満潮。腰のあたりまで水があり、天気も曇りだったので残念でした。参加される場合は潮の満ち引きも調べてから申し込まれると良いと思います。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my husband for our honeymoon. I'm not a morning person, but I was excited about the possibility of swimming with dolphins, so I made a reservation! On the morning of the tour, I was very sleepy, but our energetic guide shared stories about dolphins, Hawaii, and even the home of Ko Nishiki, and before I knew it, we arrived at the port. First, we all sang a song while making wishes with plumeria flowers, and then we set off! The first destination was the sea where the dolphins are! I was a bit anxious since there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, we quickly encountered many dolphins! According to our guide, it's quite rare to see a pod of about 50 dolphins, and I was truly moved to swim so close to so many dolphins! We also greeted them with a proper Hawaiian "Aloha"! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles, but I felt a bit cold and could only see them from the boat. However, the real sea turtles were impressive and a little intimidating. After that, we enjoyed activities like kayaking and paddleboarding! Finally, we all danced a simple hula together and said goodbye to the crew with smiles. It was a tour filled with laughter and wonderful people. I heard there are various other activities besides the dolphin experience, so I want to try those next time! Thank you for such a wonderful memory!

今回、初めてハネムーンで旦那さんとハワイに行きました。朝はとても弱いですが、イルカと泳げるかもしれない！ということでワクワクして予約しました^ ^当日の朝はとても眠たかったですが、すごく元気なガイドさんがイルカの話やハワイの話、コニシキさんのお家なども教えてくれてあっという間に港に到着。まずはプルメリアの花に願いを込めて全員で歌を歌い、出発！！最初に向かったのはイルカ先生のいる海！見れない日もあるということで内心不安でしたが、運がよく、すぐにたくさんのイルカ達に出会う事ができました！ガイドさん曰く、50頭ほどのイルカの群れに会えるのはごく稀なことだそうで、本当に間近でたくさんのイルカと泳げて感動しました！ちゃんとハワイの挨拶、アロハもしました！その後はウミガメシュノーケルでしたが、私は少し寒くて船の上でしか見れませんでした。でも実物のウミガメは迫力満点で、少し怖いくらいでした。その後はカヤックやパドルなどのアクティビィティを楽しみました！最後はみんなで簡単なフラダンスを踊って、船の方とは笑顔でお別れ。本当にいい人達ばかりで終始笑いが絶えないツアーでした。イルカ大学以外にも色々あるみたいなので次はそちらにも挑戦したいです！本当に素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！！

It was a great experience! We had Greg as the driver and he was great and informative about local deals in Oahu. We were also really lucky and got the whole boat to ourselves. Usually, I hear, people sit in a group of 10-12 people.

Great day at the north beach. We chose the waterfall hike as our activity in the morning. You could have done snorkelling or bike rides if preferred. We then had free time on waimea bay beach. In the afternoon we had a free lunch instead of doing another activity such as kayaking. Saw sea turtles at a beach on the way home

First time zipping and it was awesome! I will admit, I'm a little heavy and slow. I was worried about the walk between stations , the first hike was a little uncomfortable and I was slow, but the crew we had, were so understanding and encouraged me to take my time and enjoy the view. They made it great and the views are breath taking. The crew were fantastic and fun. We bought the lunch, highly recommend, it was the best meal the all week. Highly recommend!

My sister visited me so I had to take her here to show her the sandbar. She had a great experience swimming and snorkeling. Good food is a plus.

I've been on several snorkel day boat trips and this was one of the best. The turtles were amazing and we're all around us. We also had a wonderful sail as well. Captain and crew were Friendly and helpful. Price was great. Loved it!

We participated as a family. I was really looking forward to it after seeing the photos, but on that day, due to high tide, the water was up to our waists, and my 85-year-old grandmother and 1-year-old child couldn't get off the boat. Even though I had asked questions in advance, it was disappointing, as it is not a cheap tour.

The Japanese female guide was friendly and funny, and it was great to see manta rays and sea turtles.

If you are considering participating, I think it's better to check the tide conditions for that day beforehand.

家族で参加しました。
写真を見て、とても楽しみにしていたのですが、この日は満潮ということで、腰のあたりまで水があり、85歳の祖母と1歳の子供は船から降りることができませんでした。
事前に質問して問い合わせていただけに、いくら自然のこととはいえ残念な気持ちになりました。決して安いツアーではありませんので。。

ガイドの日本人女性は気さくなおもしろい方でしたし、マンタやウミガメを見られたことはよかったのですが。

参加を検討される場合は、その日の潮の状況も確認してからの方が良いと思います。

The day of the Heaven's Sea tour unfortunately had cloudy skies and rain, which made it cold. It was disappointing that the water's blue color was dulled due to the clouds. However, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling in the coral reef, so I guess it was still a good experience overall.

天国の海ツアーの日だけが生憎の曇天～雨模様で
寒かったです。曇りのせいで水の青さがくすんでたのが残念でした。ただ海亀も見れたし珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルも楽しんだのでまぁいいかって感じですね。

I participated in the BBQ lunch (which is a hamburger lunch) ^^ At the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. If you want to experience shallower water, it seems that going early with breakfast included is a good option. That said, it probably depends on the weather and the season... On this day, I wasn't feeling well, so I waited on the boat, but my family seemed to be having a great time ^^ Even though I was waiting on the boat, the scenery was lovely, and the staff were cheerful and friendly. I was able to spend a fun time talking with little kids and people from abroad. The hamburger for lunch was made with meat cooked in a Dutch oven, and it was juicy and delicious ^^ I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, which were adorable. On the way back, you can change clothes on the boat, so I think it would be convenient to have a cape that you can easily put on or take off. You can also change at the restroom after getting off the boat, but since there was a line for women, it might be easier to change early. I plan to participate again next time and try getting down to the sandbar or snorkeling with the sea turtles!

BBQランチ（＝ハンバーガーランチ）付きに参加しました^^ サンドバーでは腰ほどまで水がありました。もっと浅いのを体験したければ朝食付きの早い時間方法が良いみたいですね。といっても、天候や季節によると思いますが。。私はこの日に限って体調が悪かったのでボートで待機していましたが、家族は楽しそうにしていました^^ボートで待機といっても、景色も素敵だし、スタッフさん達も明るく気さくでしたし、ちっちゃいおこちゃまや外国の方と話したり楽しい時間を過ごせました。お昼のハンバーガーもダッチオーブンで焼いてくれたお肉で、ジューシーで美味しかったです^^ウミガメも沢山見れて可愛かったです。帰り、着替えはボートの上で出来るので、すっぽりか被れるケープのようなのがあると便利かと思います。ボート降りてトイレでも着替えられますが、女性は並んでいたので早めに着替えちゃった方が楽かもです。次回も参加して今度はサンドバーに降りたり、シュノーケルでウミガメと泳いだりしようと思います！
