All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

We were both very satisfied with the underwater trip that we normally wouldn't experience. My child was glued to the window the whole time, watching the ocean floor (laughs).

普段は体験できない海底旅行に親子共々大満足です。
子供は終始窓にへばり付くように海底を眺めていました（笑）

I made a reservation through this site and went to see it in Hawaii, and it was great.
At the end, you can take photos with all the cast members. Everyone is very kind.
The fire dance was impressive.
The live performance was also wonderful.

ハワイ現地でこちらのサイトで予約して見に行きましたが、よかったです。
最後にキャストの皆さんと写真を撮れます。みなさんとても親切です。
ファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。
演奏も生演奏で素晴らしいです。

Avoid the parking nightmare and go as early in the morning as possible for best visibility and fewer crowds.

This is my eighth time being taken care of by VELTRA. Every tour has been a hit, and this time's submarine tour was also very satisfying. I signed up for the Japanese guided tour at 10 AM, and it was a great decision! With the earphone guide tour, I believe the guide is the same for the entire itinerary, but I was able to get explanations about the fish swimming right in front of me in real-time. Thanks to that, I didn't miss seeing the sharks napping, the rays gracefully swimming in threes, or the sea turtles gliding by. The weather was on our side, with clear blue skies and calm waves. According to the captain, "Even if the sea is a bit rough, the underwater experience is hardly shaken." Departing from Waikiki Beach meant a short travel time, allowing us plenty of time for activities in the afternoon. I will look for more fun tours to join next year, so thank you in advance!

ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんにお世話になること8回目。
毎回どのツアーもハズレなしでしたが，今回の潜水艦ツアーも大満足。
10時の日本語ガイドツアーを申込みましたが，大正解！
イヤホンガイドツアーだと，きっと全行程共通のガイドだと思いますが，
リアルタイムで目の前を横切るお魚達の説明をしてもらえます。
おかげさまで，昼寝中のサメや３匹で優雅に舞い泳ぐエイや，
ウミガメの遊泳も見逃すことはありませんでした。
お天気も味方してくれて，青空の下，波も穏やかでした。
船長さん曰く，「海上が少々荒れていても，海中は殆ど揺れません。」とのこと。
ワイキキビーチからの出発で所要時間も短く，午後からもタップリ行動できました。
来年もまた楽しいツアーを見つけて参加しますので，よろしくお願いいたします。

It was a class full of beginners, but most of the participants were able to stand on the board. I was not confident due to my poor sense of balance, but I was relieved that I could get on from the first time. The staff were friendly, creating a great atmosphere, and I was able to enjoy myself as if I were part of the group. However, I struggled with paddling and my arms were sore... But it was a good experience.

初心者の方々ばかりのクラスでしたが、ほとんどの方がボードに立てていました。私はバランス感覚が悪く自信がなかったのですが、一回目から乗ることができて安心しました。スタッフの皆さんが仲良しなので雰囲気がよく、仲間に入れてもらったように楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ、パドリング不慣れで腕がきつかった。。でもいい経験になりました。

I made a reservation on-site the day before, and the pickup was smooth and without any issues. It was my first experience with parasailing, and I signed up for the 120 m option.

It was higher than I imagined, and I was a bit nervous at first, but I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery. However, when the wind blew and it swayed a bit, it was a little scary.

I was excited when I was lowered into the sea and then brought back up (laughs). The crew and other passengers were all foreigners, but everyone was in high spirits and we had a great time!

I missed the chance to order the photos taken by the crew for $30 because I wasn't sure when to do it (I think they explained it after boarding...), but luckily, another passenger took some pictures for me, so I was able to keep a memory of the experience.

前日現地で予約しましたが、迎えも滞りなくスムーズでした。パラセーリング初体験、120 mの申し込みです。
想像以上に高く、最初はビクビクしていましたが景色のキレイさに圧倒。でもやはり風が吹いて揺れると少し怖かったです。
一度海に下されまた上げられ、興奮しました(笑)
乗務員・乗客が私達以外外国の方でしたが、皆さんテンションが高く楽しめました！
30ドルで乗務員の方が撮ってくれる写真は注文するタイミングが分からず逃してしまいましたが、(多分乗船後説明していたかと・・)一緒の乗客の方が撮ってくれたので、記念には残せて良かったです。

We ar a family of 4 and we really enjoyed the time we spent at the ranch (very beautiful place it lself), the activities made the experience even better. We choose the The valley, The mountain and Secret Island! It was a blast!

First time parasailing for my teenage son and I. It was the best experience and can't wait to do it again !!!

I participated with my 10-year-old niece. At first, she was scared when we were going up, but once we got to the top and settled down, she said, "This is fun!" I'm glad we participated.

10才の姪と参加しました。最初、揚がるときは怖かったけれど、のぼって落ち着いたら「楽しい❗」と言っていました。参加して、良かったー

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in parasailing. I was excited to try it. At first, it felt really high and I was scared, but I quickly started to enjoy the view. I want to do it again.

何回かハワイに来ているが、初めてパラセイリングに参加。わくわくで望んだ。最初、凄く高く感じて、怖かったが直ぐに景色を楽しめた。また、参加したい。

I read the reviews and decided to give it a try from 150m. It was higher than I expected, but the sea was beautiful and the view was great, making it a lot of fun! I also requested the $30 photo package, and they took over 100 photos, including scenic shots, which became a wonderful keepsake. I would love to participate again!

レビューを読み150mで挑戦しました。
思ったより高くて海はキレイで景色も良くとっても楽しかったです^_^
30ドルの写真もお願いしましたが景色の写真も含め100枚以上撮っていただき記念になりました。
また参加したいです☆

My husband and I would highly recommend this excursion to everyone that's considering it. We liked that once we arrived at Pearl Harbour, our tickets were ready and given to us. There was no waiting in lines only to tell us our tour time would be many hours later!!! (If you go on your own, your ticket may instruct you to come back 3 or more hours laters since it books up daily). Booking through this company kept from having to deal with all of that! We had enough time to tour the grounds before our show and ride to the Arizona Memorial. Then, we traveled by bus to the USS Missouri. We decided to take the guided tour and still had time to explore the extras on our own before we had to meet for the bus for our return trip. This excursion was very informative, and we would do it again!

The parasailing itself was awesome and the captain of the boat and the guy helping were awesome, but I did get sick so that put a downer on the day.

This was my first time participating. It was my husband, me, our son who is in the second year of middle school, and our daughter who is in the fifth grade, so there were four of us.

When it was our turn, we were all loaded onto the ride in no time. My son and I were on the sides, while my husband was in the middle with our fifth-grade daughter on his lap.

I thought it would be two people per seat, so I was surprised for a moment... but there was no time to ask questions before we started.

I wonder how safe it was for four people to ride together... It felt like they put us all together just to save time...

Also, my husband looked like he was struggling to hold our fifth-grade daughter on his lap, and in the photos, only his legs were visible because her face was covered.

The experience itself was fun, and thankfully, we finished without any accidents, but I keep feeling uneasy because I thought we would be riding two by two.

初めての参加です。
主人、私、息子中学2年生、娘小学5年生での4人参加でした。

順番がきて、あっという間に4人一緒に乗せられました。両サイドが私と息子、真ん中で主人と膝に小学5年の娘を挟む形で乗せられたんです。

てっきり2人ずつだと思っていたので
えっ！？と驚いたのも束の間…質問する隙もなくスタート。

安全上、4人乗りってどうだったんだろう…
なんだか時短のために4人一緒にされたんじゃないか、て気がして…(･･;)

あとさすがに5年生にもなる娘を膝にかかえていた主人は重そうでしたし、顔がかぶって写真には足しか写ってなかったです…

体験自体は楽しかったですし、
事故もなく無事に終わりましたので良かったのですが、2人ずつ乗れると思っていたので
思い返しては すごくモヤモヤしています。

We had a wonderful time at de Kualoa Ranch. We chose The mountain , the valley and Secret Island! All these activities were great for all of us!
The Ranch is totally amazing and beautiful itself, the activities make it even more awesome! !!!!

We love it!

Meu marido, minha filha de 13 anos e meu filho de 6 se divertiram muito!!! Eu recomendo! !!

My husband, my 13 old daughter and my 6 years old boy had a great time!!! I highly recommend!!

I went with a friend. The cocktails were delicious, the show was fun, and it was really great. I definitely want to go again.

友人と２人で行きました。
カクテルも美味しく、ショーも楽しく、とても良かったです。
また是非行きたいです。

We participated as a family of three, including my fifth-grade son. It was his first time snorkeling, and he was a bit nervous, but the female guide called the day before to confirm and explained how to use the equipment in a way that was easy for children to understand, so we were able to participate with peace of mind. She held my son's hand while swimming the whole time. There was a line to watch the video before entering the ocean, but we didn't have to wait. The trolley that went back and forth on the slope was also convenient.

On the day, I borrowed a wetsuit and swam, which helped with the temperature difference and prevented sunburn. The last time I swam without a guide, I had a terrible sunburn on my back... Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but the guide worked hard to find them, and we saw more types of fish than when I went individually before, so I was satisfied. My son seemed to have a lot of fun and said it felt like he was inside a fish tank! He was happy and said he wanted to participate again. Thank you very much!

The dining information about Hawaii you provided on the way back was also helpful.

小5の息子も一緒の家族3人で参加しました。子供はシュノーケリングが初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ガイドの女性が前日に確認の電話を入れてくれたり、当日子供にもわかりやすい言葉で道具の使い方を説明してくださったので、安心して参加出来ました。子供とずっと手をつないで泳いでくださいました。海に入る前に見る映像で行列が出来ていましたが、私達は並ぶ必要がなかったです。坂を往復するトロリーも楽でした。
当日急遽ウエットスーツを借りて泳いだのですが、おかげで水温の差も日焼けもなくて良かったです。以前ガイドなしで泳いだ時は、背中の日焼けが大変でしたので‥。残念ながら亀は見れなかったのですが、ガイドの女性が一生懸命探してくれましたし、以前個人で行った時より多い種類の魚が見られましたから、満足です。子供はとても楽しかったらしく、水槽の中に入ったみたいだった！また参加したいと喜んでいました。ありがとうございました♫
帰りに教えていただいたハワイの食事情報もためになりました(^^)

Thanks to the veteran support, my timid 9-year-old son was able to switch gears and really enjoy himself, saying he wants to do it again tomorrow, completely forgetting about us parents! Including the journey there and back, the hospitality was overflowing, and we had a wonderful time!

怖がりの息子（9才）もベテランサポートのお陰で、途中からスイッチが入り、親そっちのけでまた明日もやりたい！というほど楽しめたようです。行き帰り含め、Hospitalityあふれるご対応で、とても気持ちよく楽しめました！

As the final night event, I went to check it out. I only participated in the cocktail portion, but it was definitely worth seeing. Of course, there were impersonators of Celine, Michael, and Elvis, but I was most excited about the Hawaiian dance (Fireman and Hula dance)!! The sound was amazing, and the visuals in the background, along with the high quality of the surrounding dancers, made it a very good quality show that you can see quite up close. At the end of the show, you can take photos together in the meeting area. I was hesitating, wondering if tips were necessary since I didn't know the going rate, but it turned out that tips weren't needed, and they were happy to take photos casually! 😊

最後の夜のイベントとして、いってみました。カクテルだけの参加でしたが、見る価値絶対あります。セリーヌ、マイケル、エルビスのそっくりさんはもちろんですが、私はハワイアンダンス（ファイアーマンやフラダンス）が一番興奮しました！！　サウンドも素晴らしいし、バックに映る映像の演出、周りのダンサーのQuality の高さなど、ShowとしてはとてもよいQualityで結構近くでみれます。ショーの最後にミーティングエリアで一緒に写真もとれます。もしかしてチップとかいるのかな？相場がわからないな？と躊躇していましたが、Chipなども必要なく、気軽に写真撮影に応じてもらえましたよ＾＾

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter (who will turn 6 this year), my 9-year-old son, my husband, and my parents who are 65 and 62 years old. Everyone did the 90-meter activity. Since we had two children, we split into two groups of three for balance: my husband with the two kids and me with my parents.

My daughter cried a little as soon as she went up, but when she came back, she had a big smile and said, "Again!!!" My mother is afraid of heights, so she was really tense. However, it seems she enjoyed it enough and doesn't regret it.

I love heights, and to be honest, I wanted to go higher than 90 meters before participating, but I felt it was good! If it had been higher than 90, the view might have been too far away.

It became a really great memory! During my brother's wedding trip to Hawaii, I struggled to find free time due to work commitments, debating whether to go sightseeing or spend time on activities like this, but I truly feel that parasailing was a great decision! It was fun!

Oh, and motion sickness medication is a must. The boat's rocking was really intense.

5才の女児（今年6才になります）、
9才男児、
主人、
私の両親65才、62才と一緒に参加。
全員90メートルです。
子供が２人いたので、バランスを取るためか
3人ずつ2グループに分かれ
主人＋子供2人　と
私＋両親　というグルーピングでした。
娘は上がった瞬間に少し泣いてしまったそうですが、
戻ってきたときには、もう一回！！！と大きな笑顔。
私の母親は高所恐怖症なので
やっぱりすごく硬直してました。
まぁでもそれなりに楽しめたようで、後悔はしてないようです。

高い所が大好きな私、
参加前は90メートルよりはもっと高く行きたかったのが本音ですが、
でも、よかった！！と思えました！
90より高かったら、景色が離れてしまうだろうしなぁと。


すごくいい思い出になりました！
弟の結婚式での渡ハで、仕事の都合もあってほとんど自由時間を作れず
観光するか、こういうアクティビティに時間を使うかすごく悩みましたが
ほんとうに、パラセイルして、よかったと心から思います！！
楽しかったです！！

あ、酔い止め必須です。
船の揺れがものすごくひどかったです。

When you think of Oahu, you probably picture Waikiki Beach and the surrounding resorts, creating a strong image of the ocean. However, if you venture an hour outside of Waikiki, you'll encounter a different space at Kualoa Ranch. I've been to Hawaii many times, but I only knew the typical tourist spots. The mountains are towering and incredibly beautiful! You can enjoy activities like horseback riding and ATV rides, making it fun for both adults and children, so definitely give it a try!

オアフと言えばワイキキビーチに周辺のリゾートを思い浮かべ海のイメージが強いと思いますが
ワイキキから1時間郊外にでるとクアロア牧というまた違った空間に出会えます。
何度もハワイには行きましたが定番の観光地しか知りませんでした。山がそびえてとてもきれいです！乗馬や四輪バギーなど大人も子供も楽しめますので是非行ってみてください！

The pickup was about 15 minutes late, which made me a bit anxious. The driver, captain, and guide all spoke some broken Japanese. Once on the boat, we put on our seatbelts (they do everything for you, so you just have to slip your legs through) and after a harness explanation (all in English, with important instructions in Japanese not to touch the very important red cord or the harness), we quickly took off with the first group. The boat ride to the jump-off point felt like an attraction and was full of thrills. Once we took off, the ocean was below us, and in front of us was the beautiful skyline of Waikiki. It was truly stunning and moving. The drop into the ocean gets you quite wet. They took over 100 photos for $30, distributed on an SD card. It's worth it to order. The return boat ride to the dock was also fun and felt like an attraction. If you get seasick, be sure to take motion sickness medication.

ピックアップが15分程度遅れて少し焦った。ドライバー、キャプテン、ガイドみんな片言の日本語は話せる。舩に乗るとベルトを装着(全部やってくれるので足を通すだけ)し、ハーネスの説明(全部英語、ものすごく大事な赤の糸を触るな、ハーネスに触れるな、は日本語あり)をしたあと、結構すぐに一組目から飛び上がります。飛び上がり始めるポイントに行くまでの舩の操縦もアトラクションのようでスリル満点。飛び立つと眼下に海、目の前にはワイキキの町並み。本当にきれいで感動。海へのドロップは結構濡れる。写真は100枚以上撮影してくれて30ドル、SDカードで配布。頼んだ方がお得。船着き場までの帰りの舩の操縦もアトラクションのようで楽しい。船酔いする人は酔い止めを。

Our family's first trip to Hawaii!
I wanted to give my 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son an experience they wouldn't normally have, so we chose parasailing.
On the day of the activity, our cheerful and fun driver, Yano-san, shared recommendations for local shops during the ride, which was great!
Once we arrived, we quickly boarded the boat with another family of three from abroad, and with our family and two more cheerful staff members, we set off with a total of nine people!
Most of the instructions were in English, but they were easy to understand with gestures, and I think the kids understood as well.
What made me happy was that since the kids are small, they said we could all fly together, and we did! Mom and Dad were in the back, and the kids were in front. We were able to take a family selfie in the sky, and we were thrilled to see so much of Waikiki and Diamond Head together.
For $30, they took over 120 photos of our family.
My daughter, who is a bit timid, was harnessed up in no time thanks to the efficient preparation, and before she could even feel scared, she was smiling at 120 meters above ground! She was so excited and said it felt amazing.
Thank you very much!

家族で初ハワイ！
6歳の娘と８歳の息子に、なかなかできない経験をさせたくて、パラセーリングを選びました。
当日は送迎の時からヤノサンという明るく楽しい運転手さんに、地元の人オススメのお店情報を教えてもらえたり、嬉かった〜。
現地に着くと、すぐにボートに乗り込み外国のもうひと家族３人と、私達家族と、これまた明るく楽しいスタッフ2人の合計9人で出発！
ほとんど説明は英語だけどわかりやすくジェスチャーでも表現してくれて、多分子供も理解していました。
嬉かったのは、子供が小さいから4人で飛べるよ〜と言ってくれて、４人で飛んだこと！パパママ後ろで子供たち前。空の上で自撮りで家族写真撮れたし、一緒にたくさんワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら感激できました。
30ドルで家族4人の写真も120枚以上撮ってくれました。
あと少し怖がりの娘も、準備の手際の良さで、アッという間にハーネスをつけられ吊るされ、怖がる暇もなく、上空120メートルではニコニコ笑顔！気持ちーと大はしゃぎしてました。
ありがとうございました。

We participated with my brother's family and our parents to find something enjoyable for my 4-year-old niece.

We took a boat to the transfer point for the submarine. Sitting in an outside seat, the boat rocked quite a bit, especially while we were in the bay. The wind helped distract from the motion, but those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

Although the transfer to the submarine was last, it might have actually been the right choice. I had a window all to myself. My parents, who were seated in the middle, mentioned that they had to share two windows with 3 or 4 people, which made it a bit cramped. However, the staff's chatter was quite loud, and while it wasn't bothersome if you didn't understand English, it was a bit annoying when seawater dripped in after the hatch was opened.

There were plenty of fish around the artificial reefs made of blocks, boats, and airplanes. However, they didn't come close to the windows. It turns out that it doesn't quite match the pictures. Still, watching the underwater world while listening to the audio guide was fascinating and enjoyable. My niece didn't listen to the guide, but she seemed to have a good time.

4歳の姪っ子が楽しめるものを、ということで弟家族と両親と参加しました。

潜水艦への乗り換えポイントまで船で行きます。
船外の席に座っていると、かなりの揺れ。特に湾内にいるときの方が揺れました。
船外の席で風に当たっていると気分は紛れますが、乗り物酔いしやすい人は注意が必要かも。

潜水艦への乗り換えが最後になってしまいましたが、これが実は正解だったかも。
船窓を独り占め。真ん中のほうの席にいた両親は、3,4人で２つの船窓だったので隣の人が少し邪魔だったと言っていました。
ただし、暇を持て余したスタッフが話している声が結構大きいのと（英語が分からないとそれほど気になりませんが）、浮上後にハッチを開けた際に海水が少し降ってくるのは我慢です。

ブロックや船、飛行機などの人口漁礁の周りでは魚がいっぱいいました。
ただ、船窓近くには寄って来ませんが。やはり、写真のようにはいかないですね。
それでも音声ガイドを聞きながら見る海の世界は興味深く、楽しいものでした。
姪っ子はガイドは聞いていませんが、それなりに楽しんでいたようです。

Enjoyed the submarine experience with my 3 kids ages 7,12 and 14. All of us had a great time. The short boat ride to and from the dive site was great, with beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Everything was very organized and the staff all seemed genuinely happy to be there. The narrator dude (Justin or Jason...can't remember) was awesome!...funny and knowledgeable. Sad to hear about how global warming is changing what can live and grow in Hawaiian waters and how quickly things are changing. We saw a million colorful fish, a shark and a turtle. Totally worth it!

Our family of five participated, with children aged 10, 8, and 6. It was the children's first time snorkeling, and for the 6-year-old, it was even their first time swimming in the ocean. However, Dan and Chieko provided excellent support, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. We were lucky to encounter a sea turtle as well. Although it was after a typhoon, it seemed to be murkier than usual. Still, we were satisfied to see many fish. If we have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, we would love to join your tour! Thank you very much.

家族５人、子供は１０才、８才、６才が参加でした。
子供たちはシュノーケリングが初めて、６才は海で泳ぐことすら初めてでした。
ですが、ダンさんとチエコさんがしっかりサポートしてくれて、安心して楽しむことができました。ウミガメにも遭うことができラッキーでした。
今回は台風のあとでしたが、実はいつもより濁っていたのでしょうか？それでもたくさんの魚が見れて満足です。またハワイに行く機会がありましたら、お２人のツアーに参加したいです！本当にありがとうございました。

It's not every day you get to ride in a submarine! Well organised informative staff and really well run. One of our trips highlights especially after it being a spur of the moment thing

My Dad and I did the 1000ft foot line and it was AMAZING! Definitely one of the best things we did in Oahu.

Chieko and Dan were very accommodating. For someone who's first time at the sea, I was able to participate because of them. I had an awesome time. Highly recommend them!
