All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

I was a bit disappointed because there were hardly any fish. The scenery is beautiful and the water is clear. However, if you're expecting to see a lot of fish at Hanauma Bay, it doesn't make sense to go since there are almost none. There may have been many in the past, but now...

Waiting for a long time to enter and paying a high admission fee just to catch a glimpse of a few fish here and there isn't worth it. The rental equipment is clean, even if it's reused, and the driver was nice. However, being crammed into a car with other guests isn't comfortable, and if there are no fish to see, it raises the question of the tour's value. I think the decrease in tours to Hanauma Bay is due to its diminishing appeal. Still, I believe it's great that such tours exist for those who really want to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

少しがっかりなのは、ずばり魚がほとんどいないから。
風光明媚でお水も綺麗。
でもハナウマ湾にはたくさんのお魚を期待していくのであれば、お魚がほぼいないので、行く意味がずれます。
昔はたくさんいたのでしょうが、今は…。
ちらほらたまに見かける程度のお魚をちらっと見るために、長時間入場を待たされ、高い入場料は払い、というのは見合いません。
レンタル品は使いまわしとはいえ清潔感もあり、ドライバーさんも良い方。
でもゲストがギュウギュウに詰められた車は居心地は良くなく、お目当てのお魚がいないのであれば参加意義は？となってしまいそうです。
ハナウマ湾のツアーが減っているのは、魅力が減ってきてるからだと思いました。
それでもどうしてもハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたい方のために、こういったツアーがあるのはありがたいのだと思います。

Others have mentioned it as well, but I thought it was a great tour where you could experience various activities if the weather was nice, so I took a chance and signed up. However, the seawater temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it feel like a punishment despite the high cost. I was really disappointed. There were no sandbars either.

他の方も書かれていましたが気候に恵まれたら色々体験出来るお得なツアーだなぁと、一か八かで申し込みました。が海水温が低く、風が強くて高額だったのにバツゲームみたいでしたガッカリ。砂洲はありませんでした

I participated with my 7-year-old and 12-year-old children. We were all very excited while exploring the movie filming locations amidst the beautiful scenery, especially during the ups and downs and when crossing the river. After it ended, we looked at each other in surprise. Since there is a lot of dust, it might be better to take precautions before participating.

7歳と12歳の子供たちと参加しました。美しい景色が広がるなか映画ロケ地を巡りながら、アップダウンや川を渡る際には皆んな大興奮でした。終わってから顔を見合わせてビックリ。砂埃がすごいので対策して参加した方が良いかもしれません。

I chose this tour as a relatively inexpensive way to get to Hanauma, which has become difficult to access individually due to the lack of bus services and difficulty in making reservations.

Although the guide did not speak any Japanese, as long as you confirm the departure location and time from Hanauma, you'll be fine. Before arriving at Hanauma, we made a stop at a scenic viewpoint where we collected the entrance fee of $25 per person.

After that, we lined up until the designated entrance time, received snorkeling gear, and the guide informed us of the meeting location and time before leaving. A representative from the participants paid the entrance fees for everyone, and after a brief explanation of Hanauma and an 8-minute video, we were free to explore until we disbanded.

We enjoyed snorkeling and saw a lot of fish in the rocky areas. If you understand even a little English, this tour is very fulfilling to participate in.

なかなか予約も取れず、バスもない、個人では行き難くなったハナウマに比較的安く行く方法として、このツアーを選びました。
全く日本語は通じないガイドさんの送迎ツアーですが、ハナウマからの出発場所と時間さえしっかり確認しておけば、大丈夫です。
ハナウマ到着前に見晴らしの良い場所で途中下車した際に、ハナウマ入場料$25/人を集めました。
その後指定されたハナウマ入場時間迄並び、シュノーケル用具を渡され、そこでガイドは集合場所と時間を伝えて一旦帰りました。参加者代表の人が全員分の入場料を支払い入場、ハナウマ利用説明と8分間のビデオ視聴のあと各自解散まで自由に行動しました。
私達はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。岩のある場所では本当に沢山の魚が見られました。
少しでも英語が解るなら、充実に参加可能なツアーでした。

Amazing ride. Our tour guide Chauncey was great. Great conversation and great views.

I had been curious about this activity for a while since it was featured in several TV programs, and everyone who watched it said, "It was fun!" I participated with another adult woman, but as mentioned in previous reviews, the minimum number of participants is "three," so we paid for three people to join. With fewer participants, a staff member will accompany you to paddle together.

Before we started, I was a bit anxious, but once we got into the canoe, all my worries disappeared. We all paddled hard out to sea, waited for good waves, and when the right wave came, we paddled hard again to start! The thrill of the canoe riding the waves was amazing! I felt like I understood why surfers get so caught up in the waves. We managed to ride the waves three times.

Next time I visit Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this activity!

いくつかのTV番組などで紹介されていて、どれを見ても「面白かった！」との感想だったので、前々から気になっていたアクティビティでした。
大人な年齢の女性二人で参加したのですが、前のクチコミの方がおっしゃっていたように、最低申込人数が「三人」となっているので、三人分の料金を払って参加しました。少ない参加人数だと、ちゃんと後ろに一緒に漕いでくれるスタッフの方が付いてくれます。
始まる前は少々不安でしたが、いざ、カヌーに乗り込んでしまえばそんな不安は吹っ飛びました。沖の方までみんなで一生懸命にカヌーをこいで、沖で良い波を待ち、乗れる波が来たら、再び一生懸命前に漕いでスタート！
カヌーが波に乗って走る疾走感！！最高でした。サーファーの方たちの波に夢中になる気持ちがわかったような気がしました。三回、波に乗れました。
次回、ハワイを訪れたら、絶対リピート、決定です。

On the day of arrival, I went straight from the airport. Since we had to change into swimsuits for the gathering, I changed in the airport restroom. It's very close to Hilton Waikiki.

We put on life jackets and boarded a small boat to depart. One group at a time was lifted up, and we were in the air for a little over five minutes. The view of Diamond Head and the town was beautiful.

The whole experience lasted about an hour, but be careful as I got sunburned on my thighs because I didn't apply sunscreen there. Also, the boat was small and rocked quite a bit; my friend got very seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, so it might be a good idea to take stronger medicine. Due to the rocking, it's easy to get splashed, so I think it's better to have your smartphone in a waterproof case. By the way, it would be good to check if photos come out well, including selfies, while in the waterproof case, as you can take nice pictures in the air. Mine turned out a bit dark!

You will change into swimsuits again, but you won't get completely soaked; it's just your backside that gets a little wet when you come down!

到着日に空港から直行しました。
水着に着替えて集合だったので、空港のトイレで着替えて行きました。ヒルトンワイキキのすぐ近くです。
ライフジャケットを着て、小さめの船に乗り出発しました。一組ずつ上げてもらい、５分強ほど上空でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドや町がよく見えてきれいでした。
全体で1時間ほどでしたが、太ももに日焼け止めを塗らずにいたらしっかり焼けたので気をつけてください。また船が小さくかなり揺れて、友人は酔い止めを飲んでいてもかなり酔っていたので、強めの薬を飲むなど対策するといいかもしれません。揺れもあって、水がかかりやすいのでスマホは防水カバーしたほうがいいと思います。ちなみに防水カバーした状態でインカメ含め写真がきれいに映るか確認したほうが、上空でいい写真が撮れるかと思います。私は少し暗い写りになってしまいました！
また水着に着替えますが、がっつり濡れるというよりは、降りてくる時にお尻だけ濡れる程度です！

There was a female staff member who spoke Japanese fluently. The briefing before boarding was perfect, but after boarding, she gave off a vibe that made it difficult to approach her, so I couldn't ask any questions. She was smiling and engaging with participants from other countries, but she didn't even smile at us. I wouldn't recommend this to Japanese people. However, all the other staff members were very kind.

日本語を流暢に話す女性のスタッフがいました。乗船前の説明は完璧でしたが、乗船後は話しかけにくい雰囲気を出していて質問があっても聞けませんでした。他の国の参加者には笑顔で自ら話しかけていましたが、私達には笑顔さえ向けてくれませんでした。私は日本人にはおすすめしません。他のスタッフの皆さんはとても親切でした。

Although it was only in English, the staff greeted us with smiles and used easy-to-understand words, so there was no problem.

The snorkeling equipment was also clean, and we had a great time. Thank you! ♪

英語のみでしたが、スタッフさんはわかりやすい単語で笑顔で接してくださいましたので、問題ありませんでした。

シュノーケリングの道具なども綺麗で、とても楽しめました。
ありがとうございました♪

Had a great time. The lady was so kind to me and concerned when I feel off the Atv. I'm okay and I will absolutely do it again at your establishment. it was so informative about the history of the island, and it is a beautiful place. Thank you for showing me and my group and nice experience.

The views were awesome and the crew were outstanding. IThe Ziplines were exciting and thrilling. They made the experience lots of fun. I would definitely do it again.

The Friday sunset and firework cruise by Three Tiki Sailing was outstanding. The crew was fabulous and even took us to see some whales that were close by. There were plenty of great seats and lots of great picture opportunities. The crew was more than happy to take several selfies of my wife and I. I would highly recommend this tour.

At first, I was a bit anxious, but the guide was very kind and created a fun atmosphere, making it a truly wonderful experience! I want to do it again!

初めは不安もありましたが、ガイドの方がとても優しく、楽しい雰囲気作りをしてくださり、
とっても素敵な体験ができました！！
またしたいです！！

I loved every second of this experience! Breathtaking views, the horses are so sweet, and you get to see a lot of movie landmarks, including but not limited to Godzilla’s footprints, 50 first dates movie spot and a jurassic park gates! The only thing I wish is that you could get closer to some of the jurassic park monuments.

if that’s your main goal, for this, try the four wheelers or the bus. Regardless, my top recommendation would still be the horseback riding!

They provided a horse that suited my physique. The shuttle bus was also very comfortable. The activity guide was very kind. Time flew by.

体格に合わせた馬を用意してくれました．送迎バスも非常に快適でした．アクティビティのガイドも非常に優しかったです．あっという間に時間が過ぎました．

We traveled for about 20 minutes on a large boat while listening to live music from the pier. At this point, I was already feeling deflated due to the strong winds (laughs). We used a banana boat and a tube, and the waves made it quite exciting. When we were on a two-person canoe, we encountered a large sea turtle, which was a very valuable experience.

Please be careful as it is very windy and cold.

桟橋から大型ボートで生演奏を聴きながら20分ほど移動。すでにこの段階で強風にさらされ萎えました（笑）バナナボート＆チューブを利用しましたが、波がそこそこあったこともありエキサイティングでしたし、２人のりカヌーに乗っていた時は大きなウミガメに遭遇し大変貴重な経験をさせてもらいました。
とにかく風が強く寒いので注意してください

This is a tour where you can race through mountain roads on a four-wheeler. You will drive in a group of five vehicles for two hours. Along the way, the guide (in English) explains scenes from movie shoots, and you will be overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. Since you'll be driving on unpaved roads, be careful as you will get covered in dust, and you will cross a small stream about 3 meters wide around 3 to 4 times, so you might get really wet (laughs). It was the best event for a family trip, and I highly recommend it!

四輪バギーで山道を駆け抜けるツアーです。２時間かけて５台１グループで走行します。
途中にガイドさん（英語）から映画撮影シーンの説明が行われ、壮大な景観にも圧倒されます。未舗装の道を走り回りますので砂埃だらけになりますの注意が必要ですし、幅３Ｍくらいの小川を３～４回程度走破しますので場合によってはめっちゃ濡れます（笑）
家族旅行としては最高なイベントでした、おススメです

the cruise itself was great, we went on a weekday so it was pretty empty in terms of other guests on board

on a side note: i lost my engagement ring and they located it and returned it to me. it was so kind of them and they went above and beyond to help me!

I was able to experience the beautiful sea and sky of Hawaii. I wasn't expecting much, but the speed of the boat to the site was thrilling, and the view from 150 meters was amazing! I will participate again next time.

ハワイの綺麗な海と空を体感できました。期待をしていませんでしたが現場までのボートのスピードに迫力満点、また150メートルからの景色も最高！
次も参加します。

I can't speak English, but both the receptionist and the person who assisted us were very courteous. They took a lot of photos for us, and I had a great time experiencing parasailing for the first time. I also thought it would be nice to have video recording available.

The boat rocked a bit, so I think those who are prone to motion sickness might need some anti-nausea medication.

英語話せないですが、受付の方も飛ばしてくれた方も対応が丁寧でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、初めてパラセイリングを体験しましたが、とても楽しかったです。
動画撮影もあるとも良いなと思いました。

船は揺れたので酔う方は酔い止め必要かなと思います。

If you are in Honolulu this is a must do activity. Pickup was smooth in the morning and the bus ride was comfortable. Once you get to the ranch you will be amazed at how beautiful it is. You are away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and in the nature. The highlight of the tour will have to be the UTV ride. You and family get to drive your own and follow the guide through the majestic scenery where Jurassic Park was based of off. The ride will get bumpy and twisty and you will definitely get dirty but this is where all the fun is. Our family enjoyed it very much.

Amazing ATV tour!!! This is the best experience you can have on an ATV!!! The guides are super friendly and make it an awesome experience!!! You have to go if you are on Oahu!!!

We gathered 30 minutes before the start time, boarded the boat when it was time, and headed out to sea in just under 10 minutes. Both the altitude and speed were excellent.

開始時刻30分前に集合、時間になったら船に乗り込み、10分弱で沖へ。高度、スピードともに最高でした。

I visited the sandbar for the first time. Unfortunately, due to the tide conditions, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the guide did a great job of keeping the atmosphere lively, so I had a fun time. When asked if I would want to go again, I can't give an immediate answer (laughs), but I think it's worth experiencing at least once as a travel memory. 😊

初めてサンドバーに行きました。あいにく潮の干満加減でサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、案内のガイドさんが上手に盛り上げてくれたので楽しい時間を過ごせました。また行きたいか？と聞かれると即答はできませんが(笑)旅の思い出としては一度はいいのではないかと思います(^^)

We had a blast doing the shark dive! The crew was amazing, very knowledgeable and super helpful. Being able to be so close to the sharks was such a cool experience. Highly recommend!
The boat can be a little bit rocky depending on the weather, recommend bringing snacks to help curb seasickness.

It was scary at first, but all the staff were kind, and I got to meet many dolphins! It was a wonderful experience in the beautiful sea! Next time, I want to prepare for the cold and challenge myself again.

初めてで怖かったけど、スタッフの方がみんな優しくて、沢山のイルカに出会えました！
きれいな海で素晴らしい体験でした！
今度は寒さ対策をして、またチャレンジしたいです

I had a great time enjoying two full hours under clear skies. It was a bit disappointing that there were some activities at Kualoa Ranch that were not offered through Veltra. I would like to visit Kualoa Ranch again the next time I go to Hawaii.

快晴の中2時間たっぷり楽しめました。クアロアランチにはベルトラで取り扱ってないアクティビティもいくつかあったのが、ちょっと残念でした。次ハワイに行った時もクアロアランチには行ってみたいです。

I would definitely do this again when visiting. Our instructor Faith was so sweet and professional.

I participated in the beginner course with my 15-year-old son. I was torn between the intermediate and beginner courses, but we had a great time. Since I drove myself, I think this option is much better than the buggy.

息子（15歳）と初級コースに参加。中級と迷ったけど十分に楽しめました。
自分で運転するのでバギーよりも全然こちらだと思います。

I felt a sense of loneliness not being able to understand English and missing out on the jokes, but I was able to enjoy the thrill, excitement, and wonderful location. Thank you.

英語が分からず、ジョークで笑えない寂しさはありましたが、スリルや迫力、素晴らしいロケーションを楽しむことができました。ありがとうございます
