All Reviews for Recommended for Kids 13-17

This ATV experience was unlike any I’ve had before. It’s located on a farm, so you get to see the farm animals, feed them, and pet them, which is pretty cool. You can enjoy the farm life before or after you ride. I HIGHLY recommend using their goggles. Sunglasses do diddly squat when you’re out there riding; it gets very dusty. You ride to a track, do many laps on the track, and then ride to scenic areas where they will take pictures of you. The track got boring after a while; I recommend that they utilize more space or a different area for ATV rides to change it up. They took a video of us on the track, and wanted $10 for one minute-long video that included my family and people I didn’t know that were in and out of the frame in a flash. Needless to say, we did not buy the video. Despite this, they were kind-hearted and led us to see the beautiful scenery where we could get the best pictures. I enjoyed the experience!

Most of the participants were from overseas, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, and they kindly taught us various things. I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It's essential to change clothes as your body gets cold.

参加者は海外の方がほとんどでしたが、日本語を日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、色々親切に教えて頂きました。
安心して楽しめました。体が冷えるので着替えはマストです。

The staff at the e-bike rental only spoke English, but they were very considerate, which I appreciated. I am glad that I was able to ride through the magnificent Kualoa Valley on an e-bike. I am also grateful to the staff. Thank you very much.

eバイクのスタッフさんは英語しか話せない方でしたが大変気を遣って頂き恐縮でした。あの雄大なクアロア渓谷をeバイクで駆け抜ける事が出来た事を嬉しく思います。スタッフさんにも感謝です。ありがとうございました。

Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo

During my stay in Hawaii, the best experience by far was this tour.
● The scenery used in Jurassic Park. Specifically, there are vast grasslands with steep cliffs visible in the distance.
● Then, we crossed the forest and viewed Diamond Head from the top of a hill.
● This might be seasonal, but on the way back through the forest, the guide shared edible fruits and plants, keeping things interesting.

● The horses were calm, and there were few bugs, providing a rich experience. Since there was no trotting or galloping, I recommend it for beginners! Even as an experienced rider, I was completely satisfied without any fast-paced riding.

ハワイ滞在中、間違いなく最高の体験はこのツアーでした。
●ジュラシック・パークでも使われた風景。具体的には、草原が広がり遠くに切り立った崖が見えます。
●そして森を越えて、丘の上からダイアモンドヘッドを眺めました。
●これは季節限定かもしれないですが、帰りの森の中でもガイドさんは食べられる木の実や草を渡してくれて飽きさせない内容でした。

●馬たちもおとなしく、虫も少ない、心豊かな経験を得られました。速歩や駆け足はやらないので、初心者の方もオススメです！経験者ですが、速歩などなくても大満足でした。

It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.

This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!

One of the best tour. You would have lot of fun driving these ATVs in the Jurassic park.

The horse I rode was "Holoholo."
It was gentle and a bit slow.
I don't think it's a common experience for a complete beginner to ride a horse for two hours straight.
It's okay if you can't understand English.
I recommend it.

乗った馬は『ホロホロ』ちゃん。
おっとりしてて遅れ気味。
二時間ど素人が馬に乗り続けるなんてそうできる体験じゃないと思います。
英語聞き取れなくても大丈夫です。
おすすめします。

I was able to enjoy various activities freely within the time limit. There were few Japanese customers and staff, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so it wasn't a problem. However, I felt that the free time was quite long.

いろんなアクティビティを時間内に自由に遊ぶことができました。日本人のお客さん、スタッフは少なかったですが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので問題なかったです。ただ自由時間が結構長かったかなという印象です。

The view while ascending was very beautiful.
During the descent, the wind blew strongly, causing a loss of balance and I fell into the sea.
I was wearing a life jacket, so I didn't drown.
I think the probability of falling is low, but I believe it's wise to be cautious on windy days or when there is a significant weight difference between two people.

上がっている時の景色はとても綺麗でした。
降下している最中に、風が強く吹いてバランスが取れなくなり海に落下しました。
ライフジャケットを着ていたので溺れませんでした。
落ちる確率は低いと思いますが、風が強い日や、2人の体重差がある場合などは気をつけた方が良いと思いました。

First of all, it was great that a Japanese staff member assisted us upon arrival, making everything easy to understand. After that, it was all in English, but we managed somehow despite the language barrier. Riding the four-wheeled buggy was a thrilling and exciting experience, like an attraction at a theme park! The instructions mentioned that long pants were required, but in reality, most people were wearing shorts. Anyway, the dust was incredible, so our clothes got dirty. We spent two hours enjoying beautiful scenery and navigating bumpy roads while having a blast, and I was very satisfied!

まず、現地到着時は日本人スタッフの方が対応していただけたのでわかりやすくて良かったです。後は英語のみですが　わからないなりになんとかなりました。四輪バギーはテーマパークのアトラクションのようにスリルあってエキサイティングな経験でした！注意事項で長ズボン必須とありましたが　実際はみんな半パンがほとんどでした。とにかく砂ぼこりがすごいので服は汚れます。2時間　キレイな景色を見たり　デコボコ道をギャーギャー言いながら進んで行き　大満足でした！

Parasailing itself was very enjoyable! However, since there were about 10 people on the shared boat and we took turns flying in groups of 2 to 3, you have to wait on a rather rocky boat while others are parasailing. I got quite seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリング自体はとても楽しかったです！
ただ、10人程度の乗合船で、2〜3人ずつ順番に飛ぶため、他の人のパラセーリング中は結構揺れる船で待機することになります。
かなり船酔いするので、酔い止めは必須です

My family wanted to do the Horseback riding while vacationing in Hawaii.
This location was AMAZING! We drove out to the other side of the island, which was pretty awesome to be away from the touristy rside.
Our tour guide was a young gal who treated my family GREAT! She was very professional, kind and knowable about horses. I believe her name was Freda
The path (trail) we took was absolute Breathe taking. The ocean is sooooooo beautiful. Better than the tourist side! Even the grassy trails were . The horses are beautiful, well trained and they looked professionally cared for.
I rate Frida , the horses, the trail with 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Now… as for the other gal (straight blonde hair) who also was NOT our tour guide. I believe her name was Phoebe Giving her ⭐️
She was not interested in interacting with my family.
Wow.. as soon as youngsters arrived for their tour… Phoebe, was SOCIAL and guided them with EVERYTHING and she was giddy too. Total change.

We were all grouped together but would be toured separately. When she spoke out she said, you’ll go out separately and you’ll be taken out by me or Freda. Bam, I already knew she wasn’t going to be our tour guide because we weren’t young as the other group. She wanted to tour the ones closest to her age group. That’s perfectly fine but you’re not supposed to make it so obvious.

Anyhow, we were so PLEASED to have Freda guide us. She made this experience GREAT that we would do this again with her!
#Freda

First timers here! Crew is VERY organized and well experienced! From the moment we checked in t thru departing the crew handled customers with so much respect. .
Live band with GREAT, the funnies were actually funny and the activities were super fun! So happy to have experienced those with my family.

Would definitely pick this company again if I return to vacation in Hawaii.

The weather was great, with a blue sea and blue sky, and I had so much fun! I felt like a bird. I flew high, but I wasn't scared at all. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster and was a bit scary. If you're not good with that, it's better to sit at the front. The meeting point is hard to find, so it's best to arrive early.

天気がよく青い海に青い空ですごく楽しかったです！鳥になった気分でした。
高く飛ぶけど全く怖くなかったです。
ボートでの移動がジェットコースターみたいで怖かったです。苦手な方は前に乗る方がいいです。
集合場所が分かりにくいので、早めに行く方がいいです。

1. The meeting place is a small building, so it can be easy to miss, but it's located right in the parking lot!
2. The reception staff, drivers, and photographers are all locals, but everything worked out fine! The atmosphere is very homey, so you can enjoy it in a relaxed way!
3. Even if you arrive on time, you will have to wait about 30 to 40 minutes because the departure won't happen without the parasailing board.
4. If you have a GoPro, the local drivers are quite enthusiastic and you might end up being dunked into the water while floating in the air, so it's best to check if it's waterproof. Also, you can get photos taken for $40, but if you have a GoPro, you probably won't need it!

It might be better to avoid taking selfies with your phone on a selfie stick, as there's a chance your phone could fall. It gets quite bumpy.

5. While waiting for your turn for parasailing or after finishing, the driving can be quite wild, so be careful of seasickness.

As a reference, I saw some people giving tips of $5 or $10 to the drivers, but only about 2 out of 10 people did so.

参加する方は、
1、集合場所が小さい建物なので見逃しやすいですが、駐車場の中にぽつんとあります！
2、受付の人、運転手、カメラマン全て現地の人ですがどうにかなりました！雰囲気はアットホームなので、ノリで楽しめます！
3、集合時間に間に合っても、パラセーリングするためのボードがないと出発しないので、集合時間から30〜40分待たされます。
4、GoProお持ちの方は、向こうの運転手のサービス精神で空に浮いている状態から水の中に突っ込まれると思うので、防水確認した方がいいです。また40ドルで写真撮ってもらえますが、GoProある方は、いらないと思います！

携帯を自撮り棒で撮るのは、携帯落ちる可能性があるので控えた方がいいかもしれません。
結構振り回されます。

5、パラセーリングの順番待ってる時・また終えて待っている時、めちゃくちゃ運転がワイルドなので船酔いに気をつけてください。

参考までにチップは、運転手に5ドルか10ドル渡してる方いましたが、10人中2人ぐらい渡してました。

We had the best time on our jungle tour . Our tour guide was outstanding . Funny, informative and we were captivated from the moment we sat in the seats and took off , until we returned back to where we started. It was the highlight of our tour experience. I would give this tour an outstanding rating!
Unfortunately the next tour was a huge disappointment, the movie tour.
While it was interesting seeing the cardboard signs where all the movies took place, there were little if no remaining evidences that any movie ever were filmed there. That was my mistake as the driver explained that all props must be removed.
Our driver mentioned immediately that he had “ deadpan humor” which sorely missed the mark. While he was knowledgeable and his information was interesting, his style of presentation was filled with unnecessary repetitive words “Also here within here collectively also here “ . My suggestion would be to work on simplifying the dialogue to keep the.audience engaged. Sadly, we decided to leave after the tour missing the last tour we had paid for.

At first, I was scared, but seeing Waikiki from the ocean, I was moved by the vast sea. The view was amazing. The staff were also very friendly and approachable, which I appreciated.

最初は怖かったですが、海から見るワイキキ、広大な海に感動しました。最高の眺めでした。
スタッフの方もとても気さくに接して頂き、ありがたかったです。

For those participating in this tour:

1. As you will get covered in sand, it's recommended to wear all black clothes or clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
2. Using a locker is not mandatory for this tour, but it's definitely better to use one. (The locker fee is $5, payable in cash or credit. You can access it multiple times!) Your belongings will also get sandy. I think it's fine to have just one phone among your group!
3. Since you'll be covered in sand, your face will also be quite dirty, so it would be great to have a makeup pouch (makeup remover wipes would be ideal).
4. After participating in this tour, I had a hamburger at a café, and since it's American-sized, I recommend sharing one between two people!

If you keep these three points in mind, I believe you'll have a fun tour! As for safety, you can feel secure watching the Japanese video. The local guides will speak in English, but you might be able to understand the atmosphere!

Regarding tips, it's not mandatory for this tour or others. When I participated, there were six groups, but only two or three gave tips!

このツアー参加する方は、
1、服装は、全身砂まみれになるので、真っ黒な服や汚れてもいい服・靴がおすすめです。
2、ロッカー預かりに関しては、このツアー必須ではありません。が、絶対に預けたほうがいいです。(ロッカー代5ドルは、現金・クレジット支払いできます。取り出し何度もできます！)
荷物も砂まみれになります。携帯も砂まみれになるので、誰か一台あればいいと思います！
3、砂まみれになるので、顔も砂でひどいので、
メイクポーチ(メイク落としシートとかあれば最高)もあるといいと思います。
4、このツアー参加した後、カフェでハンバーガーを食べたのですが、アメリカンサイズなので2人で一つがおすすめです！

この３点に気をつけて参加して頂ければ
きっと楽しいツアーだと思います！
安全面に関しては、日本語動画を視聴するので安心してください！あとは現地の方の英語トークですが、雰囲気でわかるかもしれません笑

このツアーも他のツアーもそうでしたが、
チップに関しては必須ではありません。
私が参加した際6組いましたが、チップを渡した方は、2？3組？でした！

I like this activity a lot because the team is nice. They play music and sing songs which makes the vibe very enjoyable. Activities included snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and beach volley.

My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar tour. We did AM tour without lunch. Donuts and beverages were provided. I enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, the live music, and friendliness of the crew. I recommend the sandbar tour and would do it again.

It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.

生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。

The plan included lunch. The people around us at our assigned seats were already eating or had finished their meals, so we thought we should go get our food ourselves. When I asked if I could take this (something like a sandwich), a Japanese woman came over and said not to take it because the staff would bring it. However, no one brought us lunch no matter how long we waited. The staff had said they would bring it, but they didn't. There was a lack of responsibility. It wasn't a cheap tour, and since it was stated that lunch was included, we went without eating... I even went to get it because that person said they would bring it. The way she said it was quite harsh. What should have been a fun activity turned into an unpleasant memory. I swam on an empty stomach, felt unwell, and couldn't enjoy myself. It's really disappointing because the other crew members were very kind and friendly.

プランには昼食つきとありました。席を振り分けられ座った場所の周囲の人たちはすでに食事中か食事が済んでいたので自分たちで食事をとりに行くのだと思い取りに行ってコレ（サンドイッチのようなもの）を持って行っていいか聞くと日本人？の女の人がやってきてスタッフが持ってくるから取るなと言いました。しかし待っても待っても誰も昼食を私達に運んではくれませんでした。
スタッフが持ってくると日本人？の女のスタッフは言ったのに持ってこなかった。　責任感が無さすぎる。安いツアーでもないのに昼食があるって書いてたからわざわざ食べずに行ったのに...それもわざわざ取りに行ったのに持ってくるとあの人は言いました。言い方もかなりキツめでした。楽しいはずのアクティビティーが嫌な思い出になった。　空腹のまま泳いで気分も悪いし楽しめませんでした。他のクルーの人達はとても親切で優しかったから本当に残念です。

I can't speak English at all, but when we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, a Japanese guide explained the location of the restrooms, the check-in points for each activity, and the return time, after which we dispersed. We each completed the check-in for our activities. We chose the Raptor (buggy). All check-ins were in English. I was able to watch the Japanese version of the briefing. If you show your Japanese driver's license at check-in, you receive a wristband, and only those wearing the wristband can drive. During the activity, we stopped three times, and the guide provided explanations after we got out of the vehicle, but everything was in English, so I didn't understand. However, since I don't often get the chance to drive on off-road paths, it was very exciting and fun.

全く英語喋れませんが、クアロアランチに着いたら日本語のガイドさんからトイレの場所や各アクティビティの受付の場所、帰りの時間などの説明があり、一度解散。
各々のアクティビティの受付を済ませます。
私達はラプター(バギー)でした。受付は全て英語です。
ブリーフィングは日本語版を見させてもらいました。受付時に日本の免許証を見せればリストバンドをもらいリストバンドをつけてる人のみ運転できます。
アクティビティ最中は3回止まり、車から降りガイドさんの説明がありますが全て英語の為、意味分からず、、
しかし、オフロードの道を運転する機会がないので、とてもエキサイティングで楽しかったです。

This is a great course! My daughter (16) and I had the best time. The scenery, staff (especially Lauren, Claire and Mailan) and safety measures were all incredible! We enjoyed the variety of lines, repels, and bridges. Highly recommend CLIMBworks!

Cheif's Luau is a MUST DO!!! This was our favorite thing we did on our entire trip to Hawaii. If possible, pay for transportation included. The ride to the luau was fun and informative - it was like a mini tour because the guide taught us some Hawaiian words, fun facts, gavw us cultural insights, and even made jokes! This was literally the best thing ever! This is perfect for everyone! Kid friendly, but also perfect for couples and families alike. In fact, the Luau was so great that I think mostly adults would appreciate all the effort made by Cheif and Tamatoa! Best fire show also!! 10/10

You might not find another place where you can experience driving through nature like at Kualoa Ranch. The thrill of speeding was really enjoyable. However, it gets dustier than expected, so it's better to bring a change of clothes and goggles or sunglasses to have an even better time.

クアロア・ランチのような大自然をバギーで走る体験ができるのはここ以外ないかもしれません。
疾走感がとても気持ちよかったです。ただ、思いのほか砂埃で汚れるので、着替えとゴーグルまたはサングラスは持ってきた方がより楽しめます。

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to my hotel and there weren't many options available at the last minute, but it turned out to be a great decision. I had a wonderful experience.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat.

Once in the water, I swam surrounded by schools of colorful fish of various sizes. (The staff threw food from the boat, so many fish gathered around.) After that, the staff guided us by swimming to the turtle point. We were able to see three turtles that day. They occasionally came up to the surface for air, allowing us to see them up close, which was incredibly exciting!

After the snorkeling time ended, we returned to the boat and sailed out to sea with the sails up, moving quite fast. I was fine, but those who are sensitive to motion might want to be cautious.

The website mentioned bringing a "photo ID," so I brought my passport, but it wasn't required. I didn't read it carefully, but it seems it was needed if you wanted to purchase alcohol on the boat. I misunderstood and thought it was required for the tour participation, so I would appreciate it if the wording could be changed.

After getting out of the water, it can be chilly with the sea breeze, so it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up or a large towel. Also, there are no staff members who speak Japanese. They explain the precautions before entering the water, so having good listening skills would be helpful. (Since they use gestures, you might manage if you can catch some key words.)

集合場所が宿泊ホテルに近かったのと、間際の予約で他にあまり無かったので選びましたが、結果的に大正解でした。とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ボートでスノーケリングポイントに着いた頃合いで、イルカの群れに遭遇！
ボートの上からしばしイルカ見物。
海に入り、大小色とりどりの魚の群れに囲まれながら遊泳。
（スタッフがボートから餌を投げるので沢山集まってきます）
その後、ホヌポイントまでスタッフが泳いで誘導してくれました。
この日は3匹のホヌに会えました。時おり水面まで息をしに上がってくるので本当に真横にホヌを見ることが出来、大感激！
スノーケリングタイムが終わった後は、ボートに戻り、沖合まで帆を上げてかなり飛ばしていきます。私は大丈夫でしたが、揺れに弱い人は要注意です。
WEBには持ち物に『写真付きのID』と書かれていたのでわざわざパスポートを持っていきましたが、提示は求められませんでした。よく読まなかったのがいけないですが、ボート上でお酒を購入したいときに必要ということだったようです。ツアー参加の際に掲示を求められると勘違いしてしまいましたので、書き方を変えていただけると嬉しいです。　
水から上がった後海風に吹かれて寒いので、長袖の羽織るものか大き目のバスタオルは有った方が良いです。あと、日本語話すスタッフはいません。海に入る前に注意事項を説明されるのでヒヤリング力は有った方が良いです。（身振り手振りの説明なので単語が聞き取れればなんとかなるかも）

I highly recommend booking a snorkeling adventure with Ocean Outfitters! Tyler and Captain Brandon were excellent tour guides! We enjoyed an exhilarating 20 minute boat ride to the rock island where you can climb up and jump off into 25 foot deep waters. While snorkeling, we saw lots a fish, coral, some sea urchins, a sea cucumber, and many dolphins and turtles en route to and from the island. So much fun!
