All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.

I signed up because I wanted to try zip-lining at least once. As mentioned in the experiences, there were no Japanese participants, and the staff spoke English, but the language barrier was not an issue at all. (You can generally understand by observing the atmosphere and your surroundings.)

First, we drove up the mountain in a four-wheeler, and the driving was aggressive and fun. I also thought zip-lining would just be about sliding down, but there were parts where we had to climb back up using ropes, which was very tiring. But it was enjoyable.

ジップラインを一度やってみたくて申し込みしました。
体験談にあるように参加者に日本人はいなく、スタッフも英語ですが
言葉の問題は全く問題ありませんでした。
（雰囲気や、周りを見えいれば大体わかります）
最初に4輪バギーで山の上の方まで登るのですが、
運転がアグレッシブで楽しかったです。
また、ジップラインはただ滑り降りていくだけだと思っていましたが、
途中ロープで上まで登ったりするところもありとても疲れました。
でも楽しかったです。

My wife and I had such a great experience! The sharks come close but stay at a safe distance. The guides are very knowledgeable about the ocean and have utmost respect for the sea. I recommend taking the earliest trip to have the calmest sea so you don’t have to work too hard fighting waves and currents. A+ outfit!

We had a wonderful morning kayaking! Our guide, Dan, was so knowledgeable about the island and made it a great experience. We got lucky and saw at least 10 turtles. I highly recommend this activity!

Hope the link works here. It was great fun diving with these guys on this boat. Who need a cage when you can be free with nature. You can cut and paste the link if it don't auto link.

Great activity when visiting Hawaii!

Crew was great and the pics were amazing!!

Book the early times for the best viewing and less chance of weather cancellation

Recommend taking Dramamine for the trip even if you have an iron stomach

I saw in the reviews that there wouldn't be any staff who spoke Japanese, so I participated, but there were some! Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy myself without any trouble.
Since it was in the mountains, I thought the sunlight would be strong, so I applied plenty of sunscreen and wore long sleeves. However, my arms, nose, and cheeks, which were exposed when I rolled up my sleeves a bit, got sunburned bright red.
The staff wore helmets over hats with brims, so if you're concerned about sunburn, I think it's a good idea to do the same.
The price is high, but everything in Hawaii tends to be on the expensive side, so it can't be helped.

体験談を見て　日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいないとわかって参加しましたが　いました❗お陰で　困る事なく楽しく過ごせました
山なので日差しが強いと思い　日焼け止めをたっぷり塗って　長袖を着ていきましたが　ちょっと袖をまくってたら　出てた腕と鼻とほっぺが真っ赤に日焼けをしてしまいました
スタッフさんたちは　つばのある帽子の上にヘルメットをかぶってたので　日焼けが気になる方は　そうされた方がいいかと思います
金額は高いですが　ハワイでは　何もかもお高めなので　仕方ないですね～

I participated with my 4-year-old child. The tour guide accompanied my child for horseback riding, which made us feel secure. Both my child and I had a great time.

4歳の子供と参加しました。
子供にはツアーの人が付き添いで乗馬をしてもらい安心して参加できました。
子供も私も大変楽しかったです。

The guys on boat really do a great job. We had a lot of sharks around and great memories made. We will be coming back again for sure. Only wish a few other types of sharks would have joined us. A hammerhead or tiger shark would have been a treat. I studied sharks in Oceanography for 3 years. So know a ton about sharks. Loved every second of being in the water with them.
Mahalo

So amazing!!! My husband and I have looked over our footage everyday since

Initially, I had signed up for another zipline, but it was fully booked on all days, so I registered for this one instead. In the end, I was glad I chose Keana Farm!!

We were picked up and traveled for about an hour and a half to Keana Farm with around 12 to 15 people. Besides the two of us, everyone else was foreign! The driver talked a lot during the ride, but since it was all in English, I didn’t understand much (^_^;) When the participants started introducing themselves, we could only give a brief introduction since we couldn’t speak English. I thought it would have been more fun if we could speak English, but experiencing the overseas atmosphere was enjoyable in its own way!

Upon arriving at Keana Farm, we stored our valuables in a free locker with a lock. Large luggage was taken care of at the reception. We checked in one by one using a tablet on the wall, got fitted with the equipment, and then it was time to depart!

There was an instructor who could speak a little Japanese, and they were in charge of our group! So, there were no issues during the zipline.

There is a mini practice zipline near the reception where we practiced once before hopping on a buggy to climb the mountain. We zoomed along a narrow, bumpy mountain road in the buggy! It was fun♪

From there, we did several ziplines while making our way back. I was a bit nervous about letting go on the first zipline, but after that, I got used to it. It was so much fun! It was fast and exhilarating!! There were suspension bridges between ziplines, and we went down and up with ropes… we enjoyed a variety of activities!

After reading everyone’s reviews, I was anxious about whether I could climb up with the rope. At first, I was using my own strength to climb, but halfway through, my arms got tired and I couldn’t go up anymore (laughs). But it was okay!! In that case, the instructor helped us, so there was no problem at all♡

The weather was bad and it was raining, but it stopped partway through, and it was sunny for the last 15 minutes! I overslept that morning and forgot sunscreen… and even though it was only sunny for 15 minutes, I got sunburned (laughs). My face and neck got burned (laughs), and my neck turned red and was stinging throughout the trip.

I had such a great time this time that I want to participate in ziplining again!♡

最初は他のジップラインを申し込みしてましたがそちらがどの日も予約いっぱいで、こちらに申し込みしました。結果ケアナファームで良かったです！！

迎えがきてくれ12〜15人ぐらい一緒に1時間半かけてケアナファームへ。私達2人以外は外人さんばかり！途中運転手さんが色々話をしてくれてましたが英語オンリーなのであんまり分からず(^_^;)参加者の自己紹介も始まりましたが私達は英語が喋れないため軽い自己紹介のみ。英語が喋れたらもっと楽しいだろうな〜て思いましたが、これはこれで海外の雰囲気味わえて楽しかったです！

ケアナファームへ到着して貴重品は鍵付き(無料)ロッカーへ。大きな荷物は受付で預かってくれます。壁についてるタブレットで1人ずつ受付して、器具を装着してくれあとは出発するのみ！

日本語を少し喋れるインストラクターの方がいてその方が私たちのグループ担当になってくれました！なのでジップライン中は何も問題なかったです。

ジップラインはまず受付近くのところに練習用のミニサイズのジップラインがあります。それで1回練習してからバギーに乗って山を登っていきます。細いガタガタした山道をバギーで爆走！楽しいです♪

そこから何本ものジップラインをしながらまた戻ってくる感じでした。最初の1本目だけ足を離すのにちょっとドキドキしましたが、あとは慣れます。とっても楽しい！速いし気持ちいい！！
ジップラインとジップラインの間に吊り橋があったり真下に降りたりロープで上にあがったり…色んな事をしながらでより楽しめました♡

皆さんの口コミを読んで、ロープで上にあがれるのか不安で不安で…。最初は自分の力で上がってましたが途中から腕が疲れ上がれなくなり(笑)けど大丈夫です！！その場合はインストラクターの方が手助けしてくれるので全然問題なかったです♡

天気が悪くて雨が降っていましたが途中から止んで最後15分ぐらいは晴れました〜！
朝寝坊したため日焼け止めを忘れてしまい…たった15分晴れていただけなのに焼けました(笑)顔も首も焼けます(笑)首は赤くなり旅行中ずっとヒリヒリしてました。

今回かなり楽しかったのでまたジップライン参加したいです♡

The staff, who understand a little Japanese, were kind and taught us well. We were able to ride horses between the beach and the trees on the North Shore, and the duration was long enough for us to fully enjoy it. The weather was great, making it a perfect day!

日本語は少し通じるスタッフが優しく 教えてくださいます。
ノースショアの海辺と 木々の間も 乗馬出来て
しかも時間も 長いので充分満喫出来ました。
天気もよく 最高な日になりました！

There are a lot of sharks, and you can see them very closely. I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't speak any English at all, but if you can understand a little, the staff is kind and friendly, and I think it's a lot of fun. The boat rocks a lot, so taking motion sickness medication is essential.

サメはたくさんいますし、とても近くで見れます。
英語が全くダメな方にはオススメしませんが、少し理解出来る方であればスタッフも親切ですしフレンドリーでとても楽しいと思います。
船がめちゃくちゃ揺れるので船酔いの薬は必須です。

When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.

日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。

easy going guys with a great trip out to sea. at no time did I feel unsafe. being in the cage was great. we would have seen up to 15 sharks. I would recommend doing this tour.

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.

There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.

After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.

Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.

At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).

We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.

As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.

妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。

私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。

受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。

さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。

休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)

オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。

ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

My daughters and I had a great time The tour bus picked us up on time . The tour guide /driver provided us a lot of information and history about the island, restaurants and all important sites we drive by . He was was funny too . He answered every ones questions.He allowed us enough time for breaks and photos. We had an amazing time at the Waterfall, my youngest had a foot surgery last year and she can’t walk too fast , we where having a great time swimming in the waterfall pool that we lost track of time . We had 15 minutes to make back to the bus , knowing my youngest can’t walk too fast or run my oldest said “ I’ll have him wait mom “ and took off running ( she runs track and cross country) . We had to be back by 12pm , we ( my youngest and I) made by 12:05 , My oldest daughter was happy the driver waited for us , we all were :). Then we drove to the snorkeling site , the tide was low and it was too rocky, I have never snorkel and I’m not a great swimmer, so we walked up to do some shopping and had a fresh coconut. We made our last stop at Haleiwa, the driver recommended some restaurants . The girls and I had a wonderful time , we ate and did some shopping. He was on time to pick us up . On the way back to the hotel we were tired and feel asleep. Overall we had a great time, we visited a few places and I didn’t have to drive through all that traffic I feel bad I forgot the drivers name , He was knowledgeable and I felt safe with him behind the wheel while the girls and I enjoy the activities and sites . The only reason I didn’t rate outstanding is because the snorkeling was not fun , the waves were too strong and the tide was too low , too rocky, but no one can really control that :)

I was a little unsure about what to expect but once we got on the boat the tour guide did an awesome job of making us feel more comfortable. He explained everything and was very professional. It was amazing to be so close to the sharks and to have a new understanding of them. I would do it again for sure.

I had an amazing experience that I can't usually have! I was able to feel an indescribable thrill as sharks constantly swam around the enclosure! I want to go every time I visit Hawaii!

普段出来ない最高な体験ができました！！
サメが絶えずオリの周りを泳いでいてなんとも言えないスリルを味わえました！！
ハワイ旅行の際には毎回でも行きたい！！

I have a fear of heights, but the view was so beautiful that I was able to complete everything! It was fun!!

高所恐怖症の私でしたが、高さよりも景色が良く全部やりきる事ができました(*´∀｀)楽しかったです！！

I went horseback riding for the first time in Hawaii, and the staff were very kind, and the horses were adorable. The beach was less crowded, allowing me to enjoy a different atmosphere compared to Waikiki, which was great. There was also a photo time, and I was able to take some wonderful pictures.

ハワイ で初めて乗馬をしましたが、スタッフの方もとても親切で馬も可愛かったです。海も、人が少なくてワイキキとは違った雰囲気を楽しめて良かったです。写真タイムもあって、素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but my first experience riding on the beach was absolutely wonderful. The horse was very trusting of people, so I felt comfortable riding even without any riding skills. The dog at the club was very cute.

The reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I was told the riding time would be 90 minutes, but it ended up being just under 80 minutes. Also, the club's restroom was clogged, and I couldn't use it beforehand.

Other than that, it was a very good experience.

天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、初めての砂浜での乗馬はとても素晴らしかったです。
馬はとても人を信頼していて、乗馬スキルがなくても安心して乗ることが出来ました。クラブにいた犬がとても可愛かったです。

★5ではないのは、乗馬時間が90分と聞いていましたが、80分弱で終わってしまったからです。
また、クラブのトイレが詰まっており、事前にトイレに行くことが出来ませんでした。

それ以外はとても良い体験でした。

This kayak tour is incredible, the clear bottom allows you to see all the marine life. Kayaking on the waters of Haleiwa was one of the best things I've ever done. The coral formation is so beautiful, you see so many fishes and turtles.
I have never seen so many turtles in my life, they are everywhere, even in the river. OMG it was amazing, Haleiwa is the turtle paradise!
But I have to say that this is tour is not just about the scenery, the guide made this experience be even better. The local guides grew up on the North Shore and they are so nice and knowledgeable about the area. If you wanna see turtles and if you are looking for a perfect day on the North Shore you should book this tour. A true unique experience in Hawaii.

This tour was really great! We participated as a family, and the thrill and scenery were amazing, so we were very satisfied! My sons were also extremely excited. If you come to Hawaii, this is definitely something you should do.

このツアーにしてて、とても良かったです！
家族で参加してスリルと景色も最高だし、大変満足しました‼️息子達も、興奮しきりでした。ハワイに来たなら是非やるべきですね。

This is a wonderful excursion i would not recommend it for small children due to the time frame of the tour cause it is a long tour buf well worth it our tour gudie was knowledgeable and friendly and was on time. the food was excellent.

My friend and I woke up early in the morning and drove ourselves out to Haleiwa for this tour. The sky looked really overcast and were already thinking the worst that the tour would not be great however we were wrong. This is the perfect kayak tour to do on a sunny or even rainy day. Visibility was still clear and when entering into the Turtle River with all the rain, if felt like we were in a National Discovery scene exploring the amazons. We seen so much turtles in the river and so much fishes out in the ocean. It is also a plus that the kayaks are clear ans see through so you can just record and take pictures from inside your kayak instead of risking it out and losing it.

Captain Dave and deck hands Dave and Martin were fantastic. We had young and old on the trip and everyone had a good time - except maybe the ones who got seasick - it was a little rough on the day of our trip according to Martin. The time in the cage was worth the cost and each person had plenty of time in the cage to see the sharks. You have to have some strength in your arms to hold onto the cage and keep your body in position to see the sharks. Not sure if the rough conditions added to that or not. Once in a life time experience, so if you are unsure about doing it - do it for sure! The ocean water was an amazing deep blue that was a surprise to me, it was awesome!!!

We made an internet reservation on-site with three guys who got along well. It was all of our first time horseback riding, but we had an incredibly fun time unique to Hawaii. Everything from check-in to the explanations was in English. If that's okay with you, there are no problems at all. I highly recommend it.

気の合うメンズ3人で現地インターネット予約。3人とも初めての乗馬でしたが、ハワイならではのサイコーに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。受付から説明、何もかも英語オンリーです。その点オッケーならば全く問題ナシ。おすすめです。

We participated with a group of six, including family and friends. Since no one spoke Japanese, we managed with gestures and simple English. I cut the base of my thumb when I grabbed onto the bar due to the shock of arrival. There is also a section where you have to climb a rope for about 20 meters, so I recommend bringing leather gloves with fingertips exposed or gloves with grip. Additionally, the helmets are equipped for GoPro mounts, so if you want to bring one, a helmet mount or chest mount would be good.

友人家族含め6人で参加しました。日本語が通じる人は全くいないので、ジェスチャーと簡単な英語でなんとか乗り切りました。バーにつかまって到着時の衝撃で親指の付け根を切ってしまいました。途中20mほど綱登りをする場面もあるので、指先が出た革のグローブまたは滑り止めのついた軍手などを持って行くことをおすすめします。また、ヘルメットにゴープロがつけられるようになっているので持って行きたいひとはヘルメットマウントまたはチェストマウントがよかです。

There is a shuttle service available, but we went to the North Shore by rental car. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from the dock. You will enter a cage. You can see sharks while snorkeling inside the cage. There is a water shower available, but the only place to change is the restroom. I changed in the car. I think it's better to bring your own towels from the hotel.

送迎もありますが。私たちはレンタカーでノースショアまでいきました。
船着き場から２０～３０分ほどかかります。ケージの中にはいります。ケージの中でサメをシュノーケルでみます。水のシャワーは使えますが、トイレしか着替えるところはないです。私は車の中で着替えました。ホテルのタオルは持参したほうがいいと思います。
