All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

We were caught in heavy rain right after we started our ride at Hawaii Polo Club, so we couldn't begin horseback riding for a while. After that, the rain lightened up, and we enjoyed riding in the refreshing atmosphere after the rain. However, my daughter's horse suddenly crouched down, perhaps trying to dry off its wet body, which surprised us. Fortunately, the guide responded quickly, and since my daughter was accustomed to riding, she wasn't scared and we were able to start again. It was our first experience like this, and it made us realize that we are riding living creatures, not machines.

There were also small mishaps afterward, but we enjoyed those as well. It was a wonderful experience to take a pleasant walk along the beach with the horse, creating great memories.

私たちが、ハワイポロクラブについてすぐに、大雨に降られしばらく乗馬が始められませんでした、、その後、小雨になり、雨上がりの爽やかな中、快調に乗馬を楽しんでいたら、、娘の乗った馬が濡れた体を乾かそうとしたのか、しゃがみ込んでしまい、びっくりしましたが、ガイドの方が、迅速に対応してくれたのと、娘も、乗馬には慣れていたので怖がることもなく、再びスタートすることが出来ましたが、こう言うことは初めてだったので、びっくりしましたが、改めて、私たちは、機械ではなく、生き物に乗っているんだと実感しました。
その後も、小さなハプニングは、いろいろありましたが、それも楽しめました。
海辺を気持ちよく馬と一緒にお散歩できて、貴重な経験も出来て、いい思い出になりました。

One Ocean Diving is a class act, and how they go about teaching you about how to swim with sharks is as professional as it gets. Never once did I feel nervous about jumping into the open ocean with these animals. The cost might be slightly high for a tour without any transportation, lunch or anything else, but knowing that your money is going toward ongoing research about sharks is well worth it. All staff know what they are doing and their passion for what they do really shows. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Such a great day! A fantastic way to discover the north shore, just the right blend between organized activities and free time! I would do it again without hesitation

This was our first time Ziplining but will not be our last! We wanted to have a great family vacation that we would talk about and laugh at for years to come and this was the perfect way to start our trip in Hawaii! The guides were funny, friendly and always kept safety first...I really appreciated that. My kids are daredevils so flying over trees, being held by a metal "rope" was no biggie for them. I am a much more conservative person so I needed a bit of encouragement - which I got and I am so glad that I threw up my chaka and had fun.
This is a MUST do if you are ever in the area. The views of the ocean are beyond amazing, flying over trees and smelling the sweet air is wonderful and just being in paradise does the soul good!
We did not even realize how much "work" we did climbing, ziplining and walking over the two hours. And it was two hours but we were having so much fun we did not realize... I guess that time does fly when you are having fun!
This is a must do and redo!

I experienced this in late April 2017. I love heights and am a big fan of zipline activities. I saw it on TV and immediately researched and made a reservation. During my stay in Honolulu, I didn't rent a car, so I opted for a plan that included transportation.

On the day of the activity, the pickup arrived about 10 minutes past the scheduled time. They came in a wrapped car that had "North Shore Kahana Farm" written on it, which made it easy to identify. There were two groups of Japanese people: my husband and I, and two young women, while the other eight participants plus the driver were all foreigners. On the way, the driver took us to a spot with a stunning view of the ocean. He even drove us into his home, where he mentioned he had a small role in the movie Jurassic Park (I might have misunderstood due to my limited English), and we got to enjoy his bragged-about scenic view.

I felt a bit guilty towards the kind driver because I was sleepy from the early morning, and I dozed off along the way, only to wake up when we arrived. We registered each participant on an iPad, stored our belongings, put on helmets and other gear, and then it was time to go.

I've experienced ziplining in Chichibu, Japan, but the height, distance, and scenery here are superior! There are courses where you zipline over quite a long distance, and the views were beautiful and very enjoyable. In Chichibu, there were no staff, and you had to manage the equipment yourself, but here, three staff members from the farm (one of whom spoke Japanese) accompanied us, helping with the equipment and the retrieval after the zipline, which made it very convenient.

They taught us various techniques, like letting go of the hands, flipping over, and curling up to gain speed, allowing us to enjoy diverse zipping experiences. I regretted forgetting my phone case that hangs around the neck, but I think it's better not to have a smartphone if you're going to flip over.

As a tip, for the second zipline and onwards, grab the red cord just before reaching the goal. It seems to help the staff with the retrieval. Also, if you don't reach a certain speed, you might stop before reaching the goal. In such cases, the staff will assist you manually (with their legs?), so there's no need to worry. After finishing, we had some waiting time in the car, and I was glad I brought Spam musubi from ABC Mart. Lastly, the staff takes photos during the zipping, which you can purchase. They cost $15 for one, $30 for two to three, and $45 for four or more (or all of them).

I hope everyone creates wonderful memories too!

　2017.4月下旬に体験。高いところが大好きでジップラインアクティビティが大好物の私。テレビで見てすぐに調べて予約しました。ホノルル滞在中、レンタカーをとらなかったので送迎付きプランで申し込みました。
　当日、指定時間の１０分過ぎ頃にお迎えが来ました。ノースショアケアナファームとかなんとか書いてあるラッピングカーで来てくれるので分かりやすいです。私たち夫婦と若い女性２名の２組が日本人で、それ以外の８名＋運転手さんは全員外国人の方でした。行きの車ではすごくきれいに海が見える場所にもつれていってくださいました。映画ジュラシックパークにちょっとのったという運転手さんの自宅（私のつたない英語力なので間違っているかも）にも車でひゅっと入ってくれて、ご自慢の絶景を私たちも拝ませてもらいました。
　そんな親切な運転手さんには申し訳なかったのですが、朝早くて眠かったので途中からうとうとしていたらいつのまにか到着。iPadで参加者ごとに登録手続きを行い、荷物を預け、ヘルメットなど装備をつけてもらっていざ出陣。
　日本では秩父のジップラインを経験したことがありますが、高さも距離も景色もこちらが格上です！かなり長い距離をジップラインで滑走するコースもありますが、景色もきれいでとても楽しかったです。秩父は係員はおらず自分で器具をかけて回るのですが、こちらはファームの方３人（うち１人は日本語が話せる方でした）が必ずついてくださって、器具をかけるのも滑走の回収もしてくださるので、とっても楽ちんでした。
　手を離したり、ひっくり返ったり、ちぢこまってスピードが出るようにしたりといろいろ教えてもらって多様な滑走を楽しみました。当日、首からぶら下げるタイプの携帯ケースを忘れて後悔したのですが、ひっくり返ったりするならばスマホはない方が良いと思いました。
　補足ですが、２本目以降のジップラインはゴール直前時、赤いひもをつかみましょう。係員さんが回収してくれるのに役立っているみたいです。あと、スピードがある程度でていないと、ゴールまでたどり着く前に止まることがあるみたいです。そんなときも、係員さんが人力（足力？）で助けてくれるので心配ご無用です。あと、終了後、車の中で出発前の待ち時間があったのですがＡＢＣマートのスパムむすびを持って行って正解でした。さいごに、係員さんが滑走時等の写真を撮ってくださるのですが、購入可能です。１枚１５ドル、２〜３枚３０ドル、４枚以上（全部も）４５ドルでした。
　みなさんも是非素敵な思い出にしてください！

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.

The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.

Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.

春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで２時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

Beach activities are great, but leisurely horseback riding next to Hawaii's beautiful ocean is a precious experience. The view is so good that it really lifted my spirits. However, since you ride for an hour, it can get a bit painful on your backside (laughs). If I could wish for more, it would be that since we only walked, it would be even more fun if we could run. This experience sparked a strong interest in horseback riding for me. By the way, no Japanese is understood at all. All the instructions were in English. However, the horse was very smart and walked and stopped without any signals, so I felt completely at ease.

ビーチアクティビティーも良いですが、ハワイの綺麗な海の横でのんびり乗馬も貴重な体験です。
とにかく眺めが良いので、テンションがあがりました。ただ、1時間も乗っているので、お尻が痛くなります(笑)
欲を言うと、歩くだけなので、走れるようになったらさらに楽しいだろうと、このことがきっかけで、乗馬に非常に、興味を持ちました。
ちなみに、日本語は全く通じないです。
説明は全て英語でした。
ただ、馬はとてもお利口さんで、何も合図しなくても、歩いたり止まったりしてくれて、何の不安もありませんでした。

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.

ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

Last time, I went to Kualoa Ranch, so this time I came here.
The scenery was amazing, and I had a very peaceful time.
There were no other Japanese participants besides us, and the staff only spoke English.
Compared to Kualoa, there were fewer tourists, making it a hidden gem!

前回、クアロア牧場へ行ったので今回はこちらへ
景色が最高で、とっても穏やかな時間を過ごせました。
私たち以外、日本人の参加者は一組もおらず、アテンドは英語のみ。
クアロアに比べて観光客も少なく、穴場です！

This time I participated with my husband. We were a bit late for our reservation, but they were very courteous in their response. Since it was just the two of us riding outside, we were able to canter the whole time, and it was so much fun. I definitely want to participate again.

今回は主人と参加しました。
予約時間より、少し遅れてしまったのですが すごく丁寧に対応してもらいました。
主人と2人の外乗だったので ずーっと駈歩走行で、すごく楽しかったです。
また ぜひ参加したいです。

The car we were concerned about arrived almost on time, and it was easy to recognize because it was a wrapped bus with photos. The staff, noticing that we couldn't speak English well, explained things using simple English words. I also felt that even in a relaxed atmosphere, they paid close attention to safety. I wrote "ski lift" because the safety device connects to the cable and puts you in a seated position. The speed is different, though... I had a refreshing feeling and a bit of fatigue, and I had a really enjoyable time. I highly recommend it.

懸念していたお迎えの車も、ほぼ時間通りに到着、写真入りのラッピングバスなのですぐにわかりました。
スタッフの方はこちらが英会話ができないとわかると、易しい英単語を使って説明してくれます。
また、ラフな雰囲気のなかでも安全には細心の注意が払われていると感じました。
スキーリフトと書いたのは、安全装置はケーブルに接続すると座ったような状態になるからです。スピードは違いますが…。
爽快感と少しの疲労感、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。おすすめです。

One person had to cancel unexpectedly, but the local company and staff responded very quickly and sent me an email regarding the refund process for the card payment on the same day. I can enjoy the remaining schedule without any worries. Thank you!

現地で急遽一名キャンセルになったのですが、現地会社、スタッフの方の対応が非常に早く当日中にカード払いに対しての返金手続きのメールいただきました。残りのスケジュールを心配なく楽しむ事ができます。ありがとうございます

The weather was awesome and saw tons of sharks! Crew was awesome and entertaining as well. Def take nausea meds.

I was satisfied to see a large shark up close. The waves were high, and the cage was unstable, which made my wife scared, but as she got used to it, she managed to hold on and enjoy herself!

If the weather isn't favorable, it can get quite cold, so I think it would have been good to prepare properly before participating.

間近で大きなサメを見ることができて満足です。
波が高く、ゲージのなかは不安定で、妻は怖がっていましたが慣れてくるとうまくつかまりながら楽しんでました！

天候に恵まれないとかなり寒い場合がありますので、対策をしっかり行い参加できればよかったと思います。

I made a reservation from Japan and participated.
As soon as I got on, we took off at full speed!!
The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but they kindly explained how to operate and listened to my speed preferences, allowing me to enjoy exactly what I wanted.

The scenery was amazing!!
We also rode through the mountains, so there were plenty of shaded areas, making it comfortable while fully enjoying the magnificent nature.
I definitely want to participate again! ★

日本から予約して参加しました。
跨ってすぐ爆走！！
添乗の方は日本語は話せませんが、丁寧に操作の仕方や、スピードの要望を聞いてくれて、自分の希望する内容ができました。

景色は最高！！
山の中も走るので日陰も多く、快適かつ雄大な自然も満喫できました。
またぜひ参加したいです★

Wow! This was way better than we had expected.
I definitely felt that I conquered my fear of heights and learned how to work together as a team.
The staff was very professional and made us all feel like active members. We will definitely do this again

Excellent service, great crew, great experience and at the end spotted a whale

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to do the sharks cage with some friends. Honestly, I was a little concerned about how the sharks are attracted, and if we were putting them in any distress by trying to see them in their natural habitat. Shortly after boarding the boat, my concern was put to rest-the sharks are not harmed in any way!.. Although it was late in the morning, and a swell was filling in, me and a couple friends all had a blast, gripping the bars of the cage, riding the swells as they rolled through and watched 10-12 sharks circle around us with such grace and ease. They were so close, we could see the pupil of their eyes!! Such an amazing experience, reminding me of my tiny existence on land.

This was such a neat experience that I'll never forget. We were so close to the sharks, which was somewhat scary, but mostly serene watching them swim by, really not caring about us humans in a cage. They come up to the sound of the boat because the area is usually filled with crabbers and they've become accustomed to eating the scraps. It was so neat being surrounded by these beautiful creatures and close enough to see the small barnacles attached to their bodies.

We did the 11am tour, which resulted in quite rocky waters (hence it being the latest option). The earlier times are much calmer waters and generally better visibility. The later time is not ideal for anyone sensitive to motion sickness, or nervous about the experience as it enhanced the intensity getting in and out of the cage. While in the water, we all had to hold on tightly to avoid hitting and kicking one another.

All that said, it was way worth it. Again, the earlier times and much calmer and even more enjoyable - highly recommend the tour, the earlier the better!

The horses living in the vast grounds were all very calm and well accustomed to people. It was refreshing to be able to run freely in nature. I will definitely use this again the next time I come to Hawaii!

広大な敷地の中で生活している馬たちは皆、とても穏やかで良く人に慣れていました。自然の中で思いっきり駆け足して乗れるのは爽快でした。次回、ハワイに来た時も又必ず利用します！

I requested the advanced course. A Japanese participant mentioned that this is the only place on Oahu where you can do cantering, and they said they visited various places before finding this one. They adjust to the participants' levels, but we started running early on (laughs).

The wind felt nice, and the scenery was very beautiful, making it a fun experience. The horses were all quite relaxed as well.

上級者コースを頼みました。その時一緒になった日本人の方曰く、オアフの乗馬で駈歩ができるのはここのみで、その方はガンストックを見つけるまでに色々巡ったそうです。
参加者のレベルにも合わせてくれますが、始まって早々に走りました（笑）

風が気持ち良く、景色もとても綺麗で楽しかったです。馬たちもみんなのんびりしていました。

We have ziplined several times and this by far was the best!

I participated on March 8, 2017.

I wanted to ride along the coast, so I rented a car and went to the North Shore. There were some online warnings about it being hard to find, but it was well-marked on Google and the rental car's navigation system, so I had no trouble once I got close. However, it's definitely tough without a rental car.

Our club is located in a corner of a spacious polo field, and the horses were relaxed, providing a much more open atmosphere compared to Japan.

After showing our voucher, we set off with two teenage girls and a total of four people plus one staff member. The saddles were Western-style, which I wasn't used to, but the horses were really calm. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, and the breeze felt great—it was the perfect outdoor ride.

However, the customer service felt a bit indifferent, and I got the impression that they weren't very accustomed to dealing with customers. I also wished we could have done a bit more trotting and cantering.

I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely ride along the coast (beginners are absolutely welcome).

海岸沿いを馬に乗りたくてノースショアにレンタカーを借りていく際に
こちらに行ってきました
わかりづらいというネットの前情報がありましたが、googleでもレンタカーの
カーナビにもしっかり乗っていて、実際に近くを通ればすぐ分かったので
場所の心配は不要です。ただし、レンタカーが無いとキツイのは確かですが。

広いポロの競技場の片隅にある当クラブは
馬たちがのびのびとしていて、日本と違ってゆったりとした空間でした

バウチャーを見せて、10代の女性2人と合計4人＋1人（staff）で出発
鞍はウエスタンなので慣れませんでしたが、馬は本当に大人しくて
天気も曇り時々晴れ、風は気持ち良くて最高の外乗でした

ただ接客は少し素っ気ない感じであまり客対応になれていない印象を受けました。
後は駆歩や早歩が少しできればよかったなと。笑

★ゆったり海岸沿いを外乗したい方（初心者でも全く問題なしです）にはお勧めです

We had the best time! Honestly one of the best experiences of my life! Would definitely do this again!! Looking forward to seeing the footage pls send through when its ready. Many thanks

Best part of our Hawaii trip, although a bit pricey was worth the memories, would definitely go again!

I experienced a new attraction that just opened in Hawaii. I took a rental car, but it took longer than I expected (1 hour and 20 minutes), and I arrived just in time. I hurriedly checked in, put on my seatbelt, and started with vague explanations. However, whether it was special or just good timing, a staff member who spoke Japanese accompanied us and provided explanations along the way. The reception staff were all very kind.

The weather was rainy, windy, and cold. However, when I posed for photos while sliding with the North Shore in the background, we were lucky enough to have a break in the clouds, allowing for some wonderful commemorative shots, which really boosted my spirits. This is an attraction that you should definitely experience.

It became my best memory from this trip to Hawaii.

今回ハワイに新しく登場したとのことで、早速体験してみました。
レンタカーで行ったら、思ったよりも時間がかかり(1h20)ギリギリ到着。焦ってエントリーして、安全ベルトとか装着して、説明も曖昧でスタートしました。でも、特別なのか、タイミングがよかったのか、日本語が分かるスタッフさんが同行し都度説明してくれました。受付スタッフも皆んな優しかったです。
天気は雨で風が強く寒かったです。でも、ノースショアをバックにポーズつけて滑る時は、運良く晴れ間が出て、素敵な記念撮影ができ、めちゃくちゃテンション上がりましたぁ。体験すべきアトラクションです。

今回のハワイで1番の思い出になりました。

I had a great time! The mountain roads traveled by Jeep were exciting, and the zip line experience offered amazing views and was very enjoyable!
However, I didn't understand much of the information from the instructor due to my limited English.
It’s not a problem if you don’t understand English for the instructions.
As a recommendation, since the activity ends in the early afternoon, I think it’s a good idea to bring onigiri, bread, and drinks!
We got stuck in traffic and returned to the hotel at 3:30 PM after a 7:45 AM pickup. It can be tough to be hungry with nothing to eat.
We brought a small cooler and a water bottle, and we took maki sushi and bananas from ABC!

大変楽しませていただきましたぁ！ジープでの移動の山道もワクワクする感じでしたし、ジップラインもすごく眺めの良い気持ちいい体験ができました！
ただ、英語がほぼ分からないため インストラクターの方の色々な情報が？？？？？？でした
やり方などは英語が分からなくても問題ないです
オススメとしてはお昼過ぎに終わる為 オニギリやパン、飲み物など持参するといいと思います！
渋滞にはまったりして朝7:45のピックアップからホテルに帰ったのは15:30でした。何もないと空腹で辛いと思います。
私達は クーラーバック小さい水筒を持参し、ABCで巻き寿司とバナナを持って行きました！

It was a satisfying experience tour that lasted about two and a half hours without getting bored! Although there were many Japanese people on the Hawaii tour, the fact that there weren't too many added to the fun. The gradual bonding of our multinational group (10 people) was also one of the highlights of the overseas tour. This is definitely an activity you should try!

約二時間半程の工程を飽きる事無く、大満足な体験ツアーでした！
日本人が多いハワイツアーですが、あまり居なかった事も楽しい要素で、一緒の組(10名)の多国籍関係が徐々に一体となっていくのも海外ツアーの醍醐味。
絶対やってみるべきアクティビティです。

We are a family of five. My wife and I (over 60), our two sons, and our daughter are all adults, but we were nervous about our first horseback riding experience. However, seeing a child around seven years old riding before us made us feel at ease. The location has a sign on the left side of Route 83, and if you turn left, it's right there. You can also see the ranch along the road. The office is the meeting place, but there are no signs inside the ranch, so we went towards the back where there was a building, and we found a small office in a place with a few parked cars. There was no permanent staff, and after the previous riding group returned, the guide helped us with the check-in. During the one-hour ride, we climbed hills and maneuvered through trees, and everyone was satisfied. It was okay to ride with a small shoulder bag or pouch. Unfortunately, there was no horseback riding by the beach.

家族５人です。妻と私（６０歳以上）・息子２人・娘１人全員大人ですが初乗馬ドキドキしていましたが、１組前に７歳くらいの子供が乗っていたのを見て安心しました。場所はルート８３の左側に案内看板があり左折すればすぐです。道路沿いにも牧場が見えます。オフイスが集合場所となっていますが、牧場内に案内看板はなく、とりあえず建物がある奥へ行き、数台駐車している場所があったので行くと、そこに小さな小屋のようなオフイスがありました。常設の係員はいなく、前の乗馬組が戻ってからそのガイドの方が受付をしてくれました。１時間の乗馬で牧場内の丘を登ったり、木の間をすり抜けたりみんな満足していました。小さなショルダーバック・ポーチはつけたままでも乗馬OKでした。残念ながら海辺の乗馬はありませんでした。

The boat was tied up and swayed more than I expected because people were moving inside the cage. Even I, who have never been seasick, ended up vomiting. My friend felt so sick even after taking three motion sickness pills that they couldn't participate. Several others also vomited. Aside from that, it was the best experience. The sharks showed no interest in us and were not scary at all. Next time, I want to take motion sickness pills and try again.

船は止まった状態でケージにつながれており、ケージの中で人が動くため、想像以上に揺れます。船酔いしたことのない私でも吐きました。友人は酔い止め3錠のんでも気分が悪すぎて、参加できずでした。他にも何人か吐いていました。それ以外は最高の体験でした。サメは全くこちらに興味はなく、怖くありません。今度は酔い止めを飲んで、やってみたいです。
