All Reviews for Recommended for Kids 13-17

I received an email asking me to fill out a survey and a pledge, and at that time, I indicated that I did not want any photos. Later, I requested photos via email and received confirmation, and on the day of the event, I asked again for photos. I was told it would be fine, but the scheduled instructor did not show up. As a result, we ended up with just one instructor for the three of us beginners, so no photos were taken (although we did get a free photo of us on the board on the beach).

The surfing took place in a safe area, and the instructor provided guidance that was manageable for beginners. However, since there was only one instructor, I question whether we received enough attention. That said, the weather was beautiful, the scenery was stunning, and just floating in the ocean felt great. The Hawaiian instructor was cheerful and had a relaxed attitude, not worrying too much about the details, which is definitely a positive aspect. If you think of it as "Hawaiian time," it doesn't bother you at all.

メールが届いてそこからアンケートや誓約書などを書くのですが、その時に写真は希望しないにしてしまい、その後、メールで写真をお願いして了承を貰い、当日も写真を撮ってほしいとお願いしたのですが｢大丈夫｣とはいわれたのですが、予定のインストラクターが現れず、結果、1人のインストラクターで、私たち初心者の3人を見ることになったので、写真は無しになりました(無料で砂浜の上でボードに乗る写真だけは撮っていただきました)。
サーフィンは安全な場所で、初心者に無理の無い様に指導して貰いました。ですがやはり1人のインストラクターだったので十分に出来たかは疑問です。ただ、天気が良く、景色が素晴らしく、海に浮かんでいるだけでも気持ち良く。ハワイのインストラクターは陽気で細かいところは気にしないというおおらかさが良いところではありますね。
ハワイタイム？と思えば気にもなりません。

I participated in a 2-hour buggy ride. Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Goggles and masks are provided. It's up to you whether to use them, but since you'll get covered in dust, I chose to wear them. The scenery is magnificent. They take you to filming locations from Jurassic Park and Jumanji. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't know the movies. You'll return to Honolulu around 2:00 PM.

2時間バギーに参加しました。
ヘルメットの着用が必須です。ゴーグルとマスクも渡されます。使用するかは自由ですが砂埃まみれになるので私は使用しました。
景色は壮大です。ジュラシックパークやジュマンジのロケ地に連れて行ってくれます。映画を知らなくても十分楽しめると思います。ホノルル帰着は14:00くらいです。

Since it was my first time, I was scared and nervous. However, other customers encouraged me and cheered me on, so I gradually got used to it and was able to enjoy the scenery around me (though I was still scared…). The sea breeze was pleasant and absolutely wonderful.

初めてなので怖くて緊張しまた。他のお客様さん達が声をかけてくれたり盛り上げてくれたので少しずつ慣れてきて周りの景色を見れました(やはり怖かったですが…)海の風はここち良く最高でした。

There was a Japanese video explanation beforehand, so even if you're anxious about your English skills, you can participate with peace of mind. The horses were very gentle, and it was no problem at all even for those with no riding experience. The magnificent scenery surrounded by the sea and mountains was truly breathtaking, and I was able to fully appreciate Kualoa Ranch. After horseback riding, there was a bit of a wait for the shuttle bus back, but there were souvenir shops, restaurants, and a plaza, so I didn't have to worry about having too much free time. Additionally, the availability of paid lockers that you can access freely was convenient and helpful. The staff were all very kind, and I had a great experience.

事前に日本語のビデオ説明があり、英語が不安でも安心して参加できます。
馬はとても大人しく、乗馬経験がまったくなくても問題ありませんでした。
海と山に囲まれた雄大な景色は本当に圧巻で、クアロアランチを存分に感じられました。
乗馬後は、帰りの便のシャトルバスまで少し待ち時間がありましたが、お土産物屋さんや飲食店、広場があるので時間を持て余すことはありませんでした。
また、取り出し自由な有料のコインロッカーが用意されているのも便利で助かりました。
スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切で、良い経験ができました。

Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.

優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。

Satomi and her group had an amazing time, and the live music on the boat was wonderful! It was a bit cold, but we could do as much snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking as we wanted! The fish were so big that it was a little intimidating. Seeing the black, fast sea turtles in person was like being in heaven.

サトミさん御一行が最高に楽しくて、船の生演奏も素敵！少し寒かったけど、シュノーケリングのサップもカヤックもやり放題！魚はデカすぎてちょっとビビります。黒くて早い海亀も生で見れて天国でした。

I had some experience with horseback riding, but due to physical limitations, I hadn't ridden for a while. Most riding clubs in Japan follow the British style, but trail riding is done in the American style, so there are differences in handling the reins and saddle. In a group, we only walked in a line and couldn't run, but on the other hand, it was more than enough to enjoy touching the horses and experiencing the grandeur of nature. The horses are calm and obedient, so even beginners can take photos with their smartphones using one hand. If anything happens, the accompanying guide quickly comes to assist and provide instruction, which is reassuring. The mountain paths have some ups and downs, but the horses are used to it. I thought we would be able to walk along the coast, but instead, we walked along a road that overlooked the coastline, which felt nice in its own way. If you're not used to it, your position on the saddle can shift, so it's important to pay attention to your balance on both sides to ride well. Finally, I thanked the horse that carried me and patted it in appreciation.

乗馬の経験はありましたが、身体のハンデでしばらく乗っていませんでした、日本の乗馬クラブはほとんどブリティシュスタイルですが外乗乗馬はアメリカンスタイルなの　で鞍手綱さばきに違いがありグループで隊列で歩くのみで走ることはできません、逆に馬に触れ自然の雄大さを満喫して楽しむには十分以上です、馬も大人しく従順なので初乗馬でも片手でスマホ撮影できます、何かあれば同道のガイドさんがすぐ駆けつけ指導してくれるので安心です。山道は多少起伏がありますが馬は慣れたものです、海は海岸沿いを歩けるかとおもいきや海沿いの道を通るだけで眼下に海岸を見下ろして歩きますそれはそれで気持ち良し。慣れないとお尻の位置が鞍からずれてくるので常に左右のバランスには注意すると上手く乗れます。最後乗せてくれた馬にお礼を言い撫ぜて感謝しました。

The weather was bad, but that actually turned out to be a good thing. It rained a little, and since the ground was wet, there was no dust being kicked up, which I was worried about because of the reviews mentioning getting muddy, but that didn't happen. My son, who was driving, was happy about it. However, it was all in English without any interpretation, so I couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. If there had been a Japanese interpreter, I would have enjoyed it much more.

天気は悪かったのですが、それがむしろ良かったです。少し雨が降り、地面が、湿っていたので、ホコリが巻き上がらず、泥だらけになる、の口コミにびびってましたが、それはなかったです。運転した息子が、喜んでました。ただ通訳がなく、全て英語だったので全く分からず残念でした。日本語通訳があればもっと楽しめました。

Since the guide was very energetic and spoke in English from the morning, I had some concerns about the mountain climbing, but my motivation to climb increased.

朝からとても元気よく英語でのガイドしてくれたので山登りに多少の心配がありましたが、登る気分が高まりました。

Driving a buggy through nature!
I signed up for this tour for a trip with my 67-year-old mother! I was a bit anxious about driving, so we opted for a driver, but it seemed like I could have driven myself! We drove through nature at about 20 kilometers per hour and were guided to locations that were used as filming sites for movies, and they also took wonderful photos for us!
They provided explanations at various points, but it was in English, so I couldn't understand anything... I think I would have enjoyed it more if I understood English.

The facility has places to grab light snacks, a restaurant, and a souvenir corner.
Next time, I want to go for a walk in nature on horseback!

大自然の中をバギーでドライブ！
67歳の母とのふたり旅で、こちらのツアーに申し込みました！運転は不安でしたのでドライバー付にしましたが、運転出来そうな感じでした！自然の中を時速20キロ程度で走行し映画のロケ地になった所などへ案内してもらえ、素敵な写真も撮影してくれます！
所々で説明もしてくれますが、英語でしたので、全く解らず…英語がわかればもっと楽しめたと思います。

施設には軽食が取れる場所やレストラン、お土産コーナーもあります。
次は馬に乗って自然の中をお散歩したい！と思いました。

1000ft flying was awesome and we were really excited! All stuff is friendly and humorous. We will absolutely come back here to enjoy Hawaii ocean again. Thank you!

The shuttle driver was cheerful and it was fun. It takes a bit of physical effort, but once you reach the top and see the view, your spirits lift, and I even saw a rainbow. It was a bit cloudy, so if it had been sunnier, it would have been even better.

送迎の運転手さんが愉快で楽しかった。
体力は少し使うけど、登りきって景色を見れば気分上々で虹も見れました。
少し曇り気味だったのでもっと晴れてたらもっと最高

We participated as a group of six, including a couple and my brother's family (in their 50s, 20s, and a high school student). It was cloudy and a bit chilly in the morning, but by 9 AM, the sun came out, and we were able to fly in clear skies. The staff was friendly and easy to understand, and we even got to see whales, making it a wonderful New Year!

夫婦と弟家族の6人（50代と20代と高校生）で参加しました。朝一番は曇っていて少し寒そうでしたが、9時からの私たちは日も照り出し快晴の中を飛べました。スタッフの方も分かりやすく親切で、クジラも観れてとても良いお正月になりました!!

The tour wasn't bad, but it wasn't as fantastic as I had hoped for. "Lunch" was a simple sandwich and a pack of chips that left us hungry. The sandbar was beautiful but snorkeling was underwhelming.

The Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour was a fun and fascinating experience and well paced!

Riding through the lush landscapes and famous movie sites was unforgettable

This ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch was an absolute highlight - scenery incredible and riding through it on an ATV made the experience even more exciting.

The horse is well-trained, so you can ride it right away even if it's your first time. At first, we go along a path in the woods, but after a while, we come out into an open grassland. I guess this is the filming location for the movie. Once you get here, the scenery is fantastic. The horse is very gentle, so I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and had a wonderful experience. The hamburger was delicious.

人馴れした馬なので、初めてでもすぐに乗れます。
最初は林の中の道を進みますが、しばらくすると開けた草原に出ます。
ここが映画のロケ地ってことでしょうか。
ここまで来れば景色も最高になります。
とてもおとなしい馬なので、最初は少し緊張しますがすぐに慣れて、とても良い体験ができました。
ハンバーガーは美味しかったです。

Crews are so friendly, music is great, sandwiches are delicious, everything is good except the cloudy weather, so definitely gonna book again when the weather is nice

We brought our family of 3 on this excursion. For reference our kids are 11,9 and 6. They had alot of keep the entertained. Paddle boarding, kayak, snorkeling and snacks. As well as a bathroom on board their boat. The boat was nice and clean! It was a fun excursion that took about half of the day with travel time from our resort at the Aulani. Defintely worth our time! The weather was nice and sunny on the day we went so it was nice to relax on their floating raft.

I had seen all the Jurassic World movies, so the atmosphere and scenes from the films came back to life, and I was really excited.

ジェラシックワールドの映画すべて見てたので、その世界観&映画のシ-ンがよみがえってとてもワクワクしました。

I participated in a tour that required meeting at the location. The check-in at the ticket center went smoothly, but the meeting place was not the visitor center as indicated on the Veltra website and the voucher. Specifically, there was a separate reception for the buggies, and we had to gather there. Once we gathered, the departure time for the buggies was set, and we received a tour briefing (in English) along with the rental of helmets and goggles. We arrived at the location by rental car and planned to have lunch at the visitor center before joining the tour, but we were unaware of these arrangements, so we had to rush through lunch to participate. While I was satisfied with the content of the tour, I felt that Veltra's guidance was unhelpful. There are other tours like horseback riding, so there might be some confusion about the meeting places, but I believe Veltra should take responsibility for confirming that the information is accurate.

現地集合のツアーで参加しました
チケットセンターでチェックインまではスムーズにできましたが、その後の集合場所はベルトラのHPとバウチャーの案内にあったビジターセンターではありませんでした。具体的には、チケットセンターとは別にバギーの受付があり、そこに集合するとバギーの出発組と時間が決まり、その時間までにツアーの説明（英語）やヘルメット・ゴーグルの貸出を受けます。私たちはレンタカーで現地到着後、ビジターセンターで昼食を済ませてからツアーに参加しようと考えていましたが、それらの段取りが分からなかったので慌ただしく昼食を済ませて参加せざるを得ませんでした。ツアーの内容には満足ですが、ベルトラの案内は不親切だと思いました。乗馬など他のツアーもあるので集合場所を混同しているかもしれませんが、案内が合っているかの確認はベルトラが責任を持って行うべきだと思います。

On this day, I had requested a Japanese tour for dolphin watching by myself, and as a result, I was able to have a one-on-one experience. The guide spent over an hour searching the sea to find dolphins, visiting various points, and finally, we were able to encounter them. Because they worked so hard for a long time, the excitement of that moment was immense.

The guide, Fuko, shared a lot of interesting facts about Hawaii, and I was able to enjoy my time on the boat throughout the trip. Although I had some swimming experience, it was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the careful instruction I received, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The lunch we had at the end of the tour was also very delicious, making it a fulfilling day that satisfied both my heart and my stomach.

この日は、私一人でイルカウォッチングの日本語ツアーをお願いしていたのですが、結果的に1対1で対応していただくことができました。
イルカを見つけるために、1時間以上にわたって海の上を探し回ってくださり、さまざまなポイントを巡った末、ついにイルカに出会うことができました。長い時間をかけて一生懸命探してくださったからこそ、その瞬間の感動はとても大きかったです。

ガイドのふうこさんはハワイに関する豆知識をたくさん教えてくださり、船に乗っている間も終始楽しく過ごすことができました。
また、泳ぎの経験はあったものの、シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、とても丁寧に教えていただいたおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
ツアーの最後にいただいたお昼ご飯もとても美味しく、心もお腹も満たされる大満足の一日となりました。

The food was good and plentiful the entertainment was awesome

We had such a wonderful time on our sunset cruise while in Oahu. Lost track of how many whales we saw while out there. And the staff were so incredibly nice. Special shout out to Vivian who spent some extra time with my son who was feeling very shy. We truly had a lovely night.

The scenery and the driver were great, but during this time of year, it gets quite cold in the early morning, so I wouldn't recommend it too much. It was so cold that I could only swim a little. I envied those who went in the afternoon. I wish they would at least schedule the tours in the afternoon during winter.

景色もドライバーさんも良かったが、この時期は朝早くは冷えるのであまりオススメではないです。寒いので少ししか泳げませんでした。昼から行ってる人が羨ましかったです。
せめて冬はツアーを昼からで組んでほしい。

I had a wonderful time on my ride along. I felt like I had a personal tour guide. Sheldon was not only knowledgeable but really funny too. He told us on myths and legends of the island while teaching us various aspects of Hawaiian culture and language. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

This was my first time climbing Diamond Head, and I wasn't sure about the procedures for the climb or how to get there, so I decided to book a shuttle plan. I signed up for a pickup at 6:20, but the day before, I received a notification that the time had changed to 7:20. I was able to confirm this change through a phone call and email from the hotel front desk, so I wasn't worried.

On the day of the pickup at 7:20, I arrived early and waited, and the car arrived right on time. The driver was a very pleasant man, and I was able to depart without any anxiety, making the climb enjoyable. There were children and elderly people climbing as well, but it was surprisingly tough. I think it's best to wear proper hiking shoes and clothing. (The night before, there had been rain and strong winds, but it was sunny in the morning. However, there were some muddy spots, so caution is needed during the rainy season.)

After finishing the climb and returning to the car, I was given a cold bottle of water. When I asked the driver, "We would like to stop by a nearby café on the way back, is it better to part ways here?" he immediately seemed to understand and asked for the name of the café, saying, "You can go ahead and drop you off there." Since it was a café near Diamond Head, I was dropped off there instead of at the hotel. I really appreciated the kindness and felt safe participating in this experience. Thank you very much. (On the way back from the café, I enjoyed a pleasant walk back to my hotel in Waikiki.)

ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るのは初めてで、登るための手続きもよくわからないし、現地に行くのにどうするか…と考えるのも面倒だったので送迎プランを申し込みました。6:20お迎えのプランで申し込みましたが、前日になって時間変更の連絡があり、7:20に変更に。その連絡はホテルのフロントからの電話とメールで確認ができたので不安はありませんでした。
当日は7:20お迎えだったので早めに待機しておりましたが、時間ぴったりに車が到着しました。とても感じのいい男性ドライバーさんで、不安なく出発→登山も楽しくできました。子供や年配の方も登っていますが、意外ときついです。きちんと登山しやすい靴・服装でいくといいと思います。（前日の夜に雨と強風が吹いており、当日朝は晴れておりました。ですが、少し足元がぬかるんでいるところがあったので、雨季は注意が必要です。）
登山を終えて車に戻ると、冷たいお水（ペットボトル）を渡してくださいました。そして、「私たちは帰りに近くのカフェに寄りたいので、ここで解散したほうがいいですか？」とドライバーさんに聞くと、すぐにそのカフェのことがわかったようでそのカフェの名前を言って聞いてくださり、「乗って行っていいよ」と言ってくださいました。ダイヤモンドヘッド近くのカフェなので、ホテルではなくカフェ近くで降ろしていただきました。とても親切で、安心して参加させていただけたことに感謝しております。ありがとうございました。（カフェの帰りはお散歩がてらワイキキのホテルまで歩いて帰りましたが気持ちよかったです。）

You can see stunning views of the sea and mountains. Riding a horse can be challenging until you get used to it, but this breathtaking scenery is something you can't see anywhere else. The horses are smart, and the female staff were kind as well. It's okay if your English isn't perfect.

海と山の絶景が見れます。馬に乗るので慣れるまで大変だけど、この絶景はここじゃなと見れないかな。馬はお利口です。スタッフの女性も優しかったですよ。英語はそこそこでも大丈夫で
