All Reviews for Recommended for Kids 13-17

Go for the beautiful view, off roading in a UTV, and to see locations where movies were made. We were a group of about 5 UTV’s. Our guide was so sweet and fun and showed something cool to our kids (about the landscape).

It is NOT Universal Studios so don’t go and expect that. The sets that we did see (for Jurassic Park) we’re pretty cool. There are doors to the UTV. We kept switching seats during the tour so the kids can get to sit in front with one of us.

They will take your photo, but it is indeed a paid service. Since it can be quite expensive, it might be better to have someone else take your picture.

写真を撮ってくれるけど、やはり有料でした。
結構値段もかかるので、他の人に撮ってもらうようにした方が良いです。

It's an activity that can be enjoyed alone or with multiple people! The lively tour guides and the opportunity to swim with dolphins and turtles make it a lot of fun. Plus, there are tour guides who speak Japanese, so you can feel at ease.

1人でも複数人でも楽しめるアクティビティです！
ノリのいい添乗員やイルカや亀と一緒に泳げて、楽しいです(^^)
※日本語話せる添乗員の方もいるので、安心できます。

I was prepared for cancellation due to the strong winds that could knock down palm trees, but thanks to the efforts of the staff, we were able to proceed somehow. The experience with the two dolphins was the best experience for the children.

椰子の木が倒れるほどの強風の中、中止も覚悟しましたが、
スタッフの尽力のおかげで、なんとか行うことができました。
２頭のイルカとの体験は、子供にとっても最高の体験でした。

The transparency of the sea was not great. I was hoping there would be a few more fish, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There weren't enough headphones, and there weren't any available for us.

海の透明度がいまいち。
もう少し魚がいるのかなぁ、と期待していまさしたが、残念でした。
ヘッドホンの数が足りておらず、私たちの分がありませんでした。

I chose the best seats, but there wasn't much of a sense of value. You can see from all four sides in a similar way. Two drinks are included, but that's about it. When it comes to going for a meal, groups with children are prioritized, so it didn't matter how good the seats were.

一番良い席にしましたが、あまりお得感がありません。
四方どこからでも同じような感じで見られます。
ドリンクが２杯付いてきますが、そのくらいです。
食事をとりに行くのも子供がいるグループが優先で、席が良くても関係ありませんでした。

The air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful. The instructors were cheerful and kind. Even at 65 years old, I was able to enjoy myself without any physical strain.

空気もうまいし、景色も良い。
インストラクターさん達も陽気で親切でした。
６５歳でも体力的に無理なく遊べました。

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

During the company trip, everyone said they were going to Kailua, but I really wanted to go horseback riding, so I participated alone. But it was so much fun! At Dole Plantation, I enjoyed freshly squeezed pineapple juice and was very satisfied! Then, I went to Haleiwa Town and savored garlic shrimp! At a restaurant recommended by the guide, it was the most plump and delicious garlic shrimp I've ever had! After that, we headed to the North Shore, passing by the Triple Crown (surfing competition). Finally, it was horseback riding time! I was able to truly enjoy the scenery and riding!

The guide was very nice, and to avoid traffic from the Triple Crown, we took a different route back, stopping by a macadamia nut factory along the way. There, I bought macadamia nut butter and incredibly fresh macadamia nuts!

I really enjoyed it!!!!!

社員旅行に行った際、皆、カイルアに行くと言うことで、私一人どうしても乗馬をしたく、一人寂しく参加しました。
だけど、ものすごく楽しかった!
ドールプランテーションでは生絞りパイナップルジュースを飲み、大満足!
そして、ハレイワタウンに行き、ガーリックシュリンプを堪能!ガイドさんおすすめのお店で、今まで食べたガーリックシュリンプの中で、一番プリップリで美味しかった!
その後は、トリプルクラウン(サーフィンの大会)を横目にノースショアへ。いよいよ乗馬タイム!景色と乗馬を心の底から楽しむことが出来ました!

そして、ガイドさんがとても良い方で、トリプルクラウンによる渋滞を避けるため、別ルートで帰路に向かったのですが、途中、マカデミアンナッツ工場に立ち寄ってくださいました。
そこで、マカデミアンナッツバター、すごくフレッシュなマカデミアンナッツを購入!

本当にenjoyしました!!!!!

Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!

This was my first experience with my child. We were excited to see fish and sea turtles up close. We had to wear something like a helmet, but it became difficult because at first, the pressure underwater was manageable with just a little ear equalization, but suddenly the accompanying instructor pulled the plug, and the pressure caused pain in my eardrum. I wonder why that happened? I desperately tried to endure until the time was up, plugging my ears with my fingers. I wanted to ask for adjustments, but there was no one nearby, and I was scared. The boat was shared with about 15 people. We ate some snacks and regained our energy.

今回は初めて体験を子供としました。
お魚やうみがめは近くで見れて、はしゃぎました。
ヘルメットのようなものを被るのですが、大変なことに最初水中の圧力が耳抜き少ししただけで合っていたのに、突然付き添いのインストラクターさんがいきなり、栓を引っ張り、超圧力で鼓膜が痛かったです。何故でしょうか？耳に指で栓をして必死に時間まで耐え頑張りました。調節お願いしたかったけど、近くに誰もいず怖かったです。
船は相乗りで、１５人くらい同乗でした。
スナック菓子を食べて、元気回復しました。

Last time, I participated in the Jurassic Park one-hour course. It was fun, so I joined this course where I could ride longer and also enjoy sightseeing. I was very satisfied to be able to see sea turtles as well.

前回は、ジュラシックパーク1時間コースに参加しました。楽しかったのでもっと乗馬時間が長く観光もできるこのコースに参加し、観光もでき、ウミガメにもあえてよかったです。に大変満足でした。

Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.

Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.

Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..

From start to finish, I had an amazing experience! It was truly moving to swim in such a beautiful ocean surrounded by so many dolphins and marine friends right in front of me.

At one point, I got a bit tired and waited on the boat, but instead, I was able to see the dolphins jumping all at once, and the crew played the ukulele and sang, which was really enjoyable.

The crew members were all cheerful and worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and there was never a dull moment, in a good way!

One thing to note is that the snorkeling gear provided locally might be too big for smaller Japanese individuals, so it's better to either borrow a kids' size or bring your own!

This tour offered a wonderful Hawaiian experience, allowing us to indulge in the beauty of Hawaii's nature in just half a day, but what made it truly special was the crew's effort to help us create many memories. I definitely recommend playing a lot with the crew and the marine friends!

最初から最後までどこを切り取っても最高の時間を体験させてもらいました！
あれだけのイルカ先生たちや海の仲間たちを目の前にして、しかもとても綺麗な海で泳ぐことができて本当に感動しました。
途中ちょっと疲れてしまって船の上で待機していたのですが、逆に一斉にイルカたちがジャンプしているのをしっかりみれたり、クルーの方がウクレレ弾いて歌ってくれたり等、色々楽しみ方があってとても良かったです。
クルーの皆さん達は本当に陽気で全員を満遍なく楽しませてくれようと頑張ってくれて、良い意味で隙が全然ありませんでした笑
一つ気になったのは、現地でお借りするシュノーケルは小柄な日本人だと大きすぎるので、全然キッズサイズを借りるか、もしくは持参の方がいいです！
とてもハワイらしい素敵な体験をさせてくれたこちらのツアーの魅力は、ハワイの大自然の良いところを半日で贅沢に味わえるのもそうですが、沢山の思い出を作らせてくれようと努力してくれたクルーの皆さんが本当に最高でした。ぜひ、クルーの皆さん達と、海の仲間達といっぱい遊んで欲しいです！

The tour content is lacking for the cost. It was a horseback riding course for about 15,000 yen per person, but there wasn't even time to take pictures in front of the filming location of Jurassic Park. I guess it's because of the horses?

費用に対してのツアー内容が薄いです。
日本円で1人15000円ほどの乗馬コースでしたが、ジュラシックパークのロケ地の前を通っても一緒に写真を撮ったりする時間はないです。馬がいるからしょうがないのかな？？

It was my first dinner cruise in high waves and strong winds. Ten minutes after departure, I immediately got seasick... I ended up stuck at the back of the deck, feeling miserable the whole time. Because of that, I decided to buy a commemorative photo, but I forgot to pick it up, so I just ended up paying for it. I think it was distributed at the seats, but I wish I had received a notification... I will never go again.

波が高く風も強い中、初のディナークルーズでした。
出港して10分、即船酔い…結局ずっとデッキのうしろで地獄絵図…
そんなこともあり、記念写真を購入したのですが受け取るのを忘れてしまい、お金を払っただけになってしまいました。
多分、席に配られていたと思うのですが連絡欲しかったです…
もう二度と行きません。

I had my first surfing experience with my son. He's a 15-year-old boy, and as expected, he picked up how to ride the waves really quickly. I found paddling to be quite tough and got tired quickly, but even when the instructor asked me if I wanted to go in, I stubbornly stayed out for three hours. Floating on the board in the ocean felt really nice.

初サーフィン体験しました
息子と体験。
１５才の男の子、さすがに乗り方ゲットめちゃ早い‍♀️
私はバドリングの大変、疲れが速攻でながらも、インストラクターの子にTo go? といわれても、意地で３じかん乗りきりました☺️

うみにボードでプカプカ漂うのも気持ちいい

Basically, it was an English lesson, but the teacher who could speak Japanese taught in Japanese! Everyone was very kind, and it was fun. Previously, when I took surfing lessons at a different place, I couldn't stand up, but this time I could! It felt great!

基本、英語のレッスンですが、日本語の話せる先生が日本語で教えてくれました！みなさんとても優しくて楽しかったです。以前、違う場所でサーフィンレッスンを受講した時は立てなかったのに、今回は立てました！気持ちよかったです！

Once you climb up to 150 meters, you can see Diamond Head in its entirety, which is refreshing. The exhilaration of climbing and the feeling of weightlessness afterward are indescribably enjoyable. It's not scary, so I recommend it for families as well.

150メートルまで上がるとダイヤモンドヘッドが一望でき、爽快
上がる瞬間の高揚感と上がった後の浮遊感がなんとも言えず、楽しいです
対して怖くないので、家族連れにもおすすめです

The submarine was a bit offshore, and it took about 10 minutes to get there by boat, but the view of Diamond Head and the beach from the boat was amazing. The wreckage of the submarine, along with the remains of ships and walkers that have been sunk to create a reef, was impressive. I also learned about the efforts to protect Hawaii's marine environment, which made me realize once again the importance of preserving nature. While most of the fish were small, we encountered a sea turtle along the way, making it a memorable experience.

潜水艦が少し沖にあり10分程度船で移動しますがその時の船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチの景色は最高でした。潜水艦も海底に沈めた、船とか歩行器の残骸の漁礁が印象的でした。またハワイの海の自然を守る活動を聞いて努力して維持していること知り改めて自然を守る大切さを感じました。魚は小さいものが中心ですが、途中でウミガメにも遭遇し、印象に残る体験でした。

I participated alone. There were just under 50 people on the bus, and I was the only Japanese person. Since it was close to Thanksgiving, most of the attendees were from the mainland United States or Canada. The guide on the bus enthusiastically encouraged everyone to introduce themselves to those sitting around them, which allowed me to connect with the people in front of me, behind me, and next to me (thanks to this, I became friends with an elderly Canadian couple sitting behind me, and on the way back, I sat next to the husband and we had a lively conversation).

We were able to experience hula, tattooing, and fire-starting, which I think kids would also enjoy. The fire dance was so intense that we could feel the heat even as audience members; it was spectacular and thrilling. The excitement from the audience was incredible, and just being there was fun! There was a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and everyone in the venue celebrated together, creating a wonderful sense of unity. I think it's especially great for those on their honeymoon or celebrating anniversaries to create memorable experiences.

I believe you won't fully enjoy it unless you understand English to some extent, but if you want to fully experience the foreign atmosphere, I definitely recommend it!

1人で参加しました。バス５０名弱でしたが、日本人は私1人でした。サンクスギビング近かったのでholidayできているアメリカ本土の方やカナダの方がほとんどでした。バスの中からガイドさんがノリノリで周りの席の人と自己紹介し合いましょうと言われ、前後、隣の方と交流を深められました(お陰で後ろの席のカナダ人老夫婦と仲良くなり帰りのバスはそのご主人と隣に座って会話盛り上がりました)
hulaの体験や、タトゥー体験、火起こし体験もでき、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ファイヤーダンスは客先でも熱風を感じるほどで、迫力満点、素晴らしかったです。観客の盛り上がりもすごくてその場にいるだけで楽しかったです！結婚60周年というご夫婦がいて会場皆でお祝いしてとても一体感がありました。ハネムーンや記念日の方は特に良い思い出作りができると思います。
英語がある程度理解できないと充分楽しめないと思いますが、外国の雰囲気を存分に味わいたいなら是非オススメです！

I was anxious about the English support, but the driver and the crew on the boat were accustomed to Japanese people, so it wasn't a problem not speaking English.

The driver was wonderful; while we waited in the car, he sent me breathtaking photos taken in Hawaii, including pictures of whales and rainbows via AirDrop. He also gave me some recommended souvenirs like gummy candies and canned juice.

It's a good idea to have some cash on hand to tip the driver and the crew.

英語対応とのことで不安でしたが、送迎のドライバーさん、船のクルー含め日本人慣れしていたので英語が話さなくても問題ないです。

送迎のドライバーさんがとても素晴らしく車の中で待っている時間に、ハワイで撮れた絶景写真や鯨、虹などの写真をエアドロで送ってくれました。
またおすすめのお土産ときてグミや缶ジュースももらいました。

船のクルー送迎のドライバーさんたちにチップを払うので現金は多少あった方がいいです。

Pickup from the hotel was smooth, and we were able to enjoy the activities! It was really beautiful and amazing! However, the wind was strong, and the boat was rocking, which made me feel seasick. I wish I had taken seasickness medication with me.

I recommend it to those who are going!

ホテルからピックアップ、
スムーズな流れでアクティビティができました！
すごくキレイで最高でした！

船酔いの薬を飲んでいけばよかったなーと。

行かれるかたはお勧めしますー！

Beautiful views of Honolulu at night from the ocean, lovely food, and great, friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.

I booked a 2-hour course starting at 10:05. I arrived in about an hour, but with the check-in process, there wasn't much time for a leisurely lunch, so I bought a large muffin at the shop. There weren't many options at the shop, and both the restaurant and shop had higher prices. There are benches available, so I think it's better to bring light snacks like bread. It was a hot day, and I was sweating quite a bit, but it felt cool when passing through the shade of the trees. Since we walked through shaded areas, muddy paths, and stream-like trails, wearing clothes that can get dirty is a good idea. We were a team of six, and when the guiding staff instructed us to hurry, we would start jogging a bit, but all the horses were well-behaved! Large bags can be stored in lockers, but you can bring water, your phone, and a camera. The 2 hours felt long, but the scenery was wonderful, and it was a fun and great experience.

ピックアップ10：05の2時間コースに予約しました。１時間ほどで到着ですが、受付などしているとゆっくり昼食の時間がなく、売店で大きめのマフィンを購入しました。売店もあまり種類がないのとレストラン・売店ともに値段が高めです。ベンチもあるのでパンなどの軽食を持参される方が良いかと思います。天気が良い日だったので、かなり暑く汗が出ましたが、木陰の間を通る時は涼しく感じます。木陰の間を通ったりぬかるんでいる道や小川のような道を歩くので汚れても良い服装が安心です。６人１チームでしたが、誘導するスタッフの支持で急ぐ時は、小走り程度に急に走り出しますがどの馬もおりこうでした！　大きな荷物はロッカーに預けますが、お水や携帯・カメラは持参できます。２時間長く感じますが景色も素晴らしく楽しい良い経験ができました。

When I go to Hawaii, I often go horseback riding in various places, but the course here takes you through the mountains, and from near the top, you can see the ocean in its entirety, which is amazing. The well-trained, gentle horses sometimes like to nibble on grass along the way, so be careful.

ハワイに行くといろいろな場所で良く乗馬しますが、ここのコースは山の中を乗馬しますが頂上付近からは海が一望でき最高です。
良くなれたおとなしい馬が、たまに道草を食べたがりますので注意です。

The facility was clean, and the instructors were really nice. I had a great time in the great outdoors. They also took photos, which helped me create lasting memories.

施設も綺麗でインストラクターの方もすごく良い方でした。
大自然の中ですごく楽しめました。
写真も撮ってもらえるので思い出に残りました。

The staff who picked us up, the staff during parasailing, and all the other staff were kind, polite, and had great energy. I think you should definitely experience the stunning views when you come to Hawaii. Motion sickness medication is a must!

ピックアップしてくれたスタッフ、パラセーリング中のスタッフなど、すべてのスタッフが親切で丁寧でノリが良かったです。ハワイにきたら絶景やるべきだと思います。酔い止めは必須です！

We took a boat to the submarine, and it felt great to look at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. However, the submarine experience was more about staring at the blue ocean rather than seeing a variety of colorful fish, which might get boring towards the end. Additionally, the monotone of the Japanese audio guide made me gradually feel sleepy while listening.

潜水艦に乗るところまでは船で向かい、海からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて気持ち良かったです。潜水艦は色とりどりの魚が見られるというよりも、ブルーな海中をずっと見ている感じで後半は飽きてくるかもしれません。さらに日本語オーディオガイドのトーンが単調なせいか、聞いていると次第に眠くなってしまいました。

In the morning, I rode an electric bike, and in the afternoon, I was supposed to go kayaking, but it was canceled due to bad weather.

The electric bike had a strong assist, so even with a light pedal, the front wheel would lift. It easily rolled over rocks (not stones) and climbed steep hills with ease.

There seemed to be two courses, and we split at the first fork: one for a group with women and the other for a men-only group. I was in the men-only group, and according to the instructor, this one was more intense and fun.

I participated with my 60-year-old father (who does some hiking) and I, at 24 (who enjoys sports like snowboarding and riding bikes). My father managed to finish, albeit with some effort. Personally, I thought it was a great experience. It was truly thrilling and physically demanding, and I would say it felt dangerous; I doubt such a course would be permitted in Japan.

The scenery was beautiful, and the course allowed us to enjoy the great outdoors. There were several spots that resembled scenes from the Jurassic Park movies. However, there were genuinely dangerous moments as well. Please enjoy it without pushing yourself too hard and keep your speed in check.

*You will get quite muddy, so be mindful of your clothing.
*Make sure to buy water beforehand.
*Having sunglasses would be beneficial.
*If you're not confident in your physical ability, it's best to inform them in advance.
*If you imagine the summer vacation from 2019 with Ariyoshi, you might feel despair.

午前中に電動バイク
午後にカヤックでしたが、悪天候のため
カヤックは中止になりました。

電動バイクはアシストがかなり強く、軽くこいでもフロントが上がります。岩（石ではなく岩）を踏んでもガンガン乗り越えるし、坂道もグイグイ登ります。

コースは２つあるようで初めの分かれ道で分かれました、一つは女性のいるグループ、もう一つは男性のみのグループ。
私は男性のみのグループでしたが、インストラクター曰くこっちの方が激しく楽しいそうです。

60歳の父（山登り程度の運動をする）と24の私（スノボ等運動好き、バイクも乗る）で参加しましたが、父は“なんとか”完走できました。
私的にはいい体験ができたなと思いました。
本当にスリリングで体力を使う内容で、
あえて言わせてもらうなら危険で、日本だと許可おりないだろうなと思うコースです。

景色は綺麗、コースも大自然を堪能できます。ジュラシックパークの映画でみた光景も何箇所かみれます。
ただし、本当に危険な場面もありました。無理をせずにスピードを抑えて楽しんでください。

※かなり泥で汚れます。服装には注意
※水を買っておきましょう
※サングラスがあるといいです
※体力に自信がない方は事前に申告した方が吉
※2019年有吉の夏休みを想像してると絶望します。
