All Reviews for Teen Adventures (Ages 13-17)

My first experience surfing. I was worried, but I was able to ride the wave from the first wave. It's strange how I could stand. The instructions were in English, but there were no problems. I recommend it!

You can enjoy the view of Diamond Head from high above Waikiki. Even those with a fear of heights can slowly ascend into the sky and have a good time. The boat that goes out to sea can be quite rocky, which may cause some seasickness, but you will get used to it after a little patience.

空中高くワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めます。
高所恐怖症の方でも ゆっくりと空に上がって行くので楽しめます。沖へ出るボートの揺れが結構大きいので船酔い気味なりますが少し我慢すれば慣れました。

The explanation is mostly in English, but they provide a simple explanation in Japanese. It was terrifying to watch, but once you actually ride it, it's not scary at all. It's about 10 minutes long, and it feels like flying in the sky, which is very enjoyable. I want to participate again.

説明はほぼ英語ですが、簡単な日本語で説明をしてくれます。
見ているときは恐怖でしたが、実際乗ると全く怖くありません。
１０分ほどですが、空を飛んでるようでとても楽しいです。
また参加したいです。

I participated with a friend.

It was my first time parasailing, and I chose the 150m plan. Rather than feeling thrilling due to the height, it was a very graceful experience. If you’re not extremely afraid of heights, it’s not a scary activity.

I rode on the boat with 12 people from three other groups, and the most fun part was getting to know the other groups and having a great time together!! Also, the staff were very energetic and made the experience even more exciting!!

友人と参加をしてきました。

パラセーリングは初めてで、150mのプランですが、高くてスリルがあるというより非常に優雅な感じです。極端な高所恐怖症でなければ怖いということはないアクティビティです。

他の参加者3グループと12名でボートに乗りましたが、
他のグループと仲良くなって盛り上がることが一番楽しかったです！！
あと、スタッフの方もとてもテンションが高くとても盛り上がりました！！

It was my first experience with a submarine, and I was able to participate with great interest. My 4-year-old child seemed to enjoy it as well (although they got bored halfway through...).

It might be worth trying at least once.

However, I had reserved for the earliest submarine tour because it mentioned a Japanese guide, but in the end, it was an audio guide. Was there a mistake in the description, or was it my misunderstanding? If there had been a Japanese guide, it might have been even more enjoyable.

Also, there was no shuttle service, and we had to wait a good 30 to 40 minutes from the meeting time. They said they were waiting for another pickup bus, but I thought it would have been better to set the meeting time a bit later.

初めての潜水艦体験だったので、興味深く参加できました。
4歳の子供も楽しかったようです（途中から飽きてましたが・・）。

一度は行ってみてもいいかもしれません。

ですが、サブマリンツアーの一番早い時間が、日本語ガイドだと書いてあったので予約したのに、結果はオーディオガイドでした。
記載が間違っているのですか？それとも私の勘違いでしょうか？
日本語ガイドならもっと楽しかったかもしれません。

あと、送迎なしだったのですが、集合時間からたっぷり30~40分は待たされました。ピックアップのバスをもう一台待ってます、とのことでしたが、ならば集合時間をもう少し遅くしてもよいのではと思いました。

At Outrigger Reef on the Beach, you can check in, board the boat, and store your beach sandals right on the beach. They also offer commemorative photo sessions for $15. The activity starts when the staff arrives with the participant list at the designated time.

There is an area offshore where you can see schools of fish and green sea turtles, and many participants enjoy snorkeling there until they get bored and return to the boat (about 30 minutes). Life jackets are not provided during the ride. For concerns about buoyancy while snorkeling, soft foam noodles are available for use. Once everyone is back on the boat, drink orders are taken, and then you sail around Diamond Head until it's time to return. During this time, you might encounter dolphins or get soaked by big waves.

There is an emergency toilet located in the left hull of the catamaran.

The ride was fun but the quick dip into the ocean was not. Wear a swim suit, their going to do it to you.

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I participated in a dinner show for the first time. While a similar show can be enjoyed at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I chose this one because my accommodation was at Hilton and I was traveling with my 5-year-old child, allowing us to enjoy it without wasting travel time.

When making the reservation, I debated between regular seating and the Golden Circle seats. I opted for the Golden Circle seats, hoping to arrive early and sit in the front row. As planned, we arrived early at the meeting point, maintained a good position during the move, and entered the venue ahead of time. However, the seat assigned to us by the staff was a somewhat awkward spot with a few people in front of us. Many front-row seats in the Golden Circle were available, but I believe they were reserved for group guests. Since we were a party of three, we ended up sharing a table with other smaller groups.

The venue had large square tables for eight set up on three sides of a big stage, with the closest tables to the stage designated as Golden Seats. The regular seats were located about two meters behind the Golden Seats, separated by an aisle. The seat at the very back of the Golden Seats was only about two meters different from the regular seats. Additionally, if you are an owner of the Hilton Grand Vacation Club, you could upgrade to the Golden Seats for free at the regular seat price. I ended up spending unnecessarily without knowing this.

In terms of cost performance, I would rate the regular seats three stars and the Golden Circle seats two stars. The luau itself was very good.

通算6回目のハワイで、初めてこのようなディナーショーに参加しました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターでも同じようなショーが楽しめますが、宿泊先がヒルトンだったのと、5歳になる子供が一緒のため、移動時間のロスなく楽しめるこちらにしました。

予約の際、普通席かゴールデンサークル席か迷いましたが、早めに行って最前列で観れれば、と思い、ゴールデンサークル席にしました。結果、予定通り早めに集合場所に行き、移動中も良い位置をキープし早めに会場入りできましたが、係りの方に案内された席は前に数名いる中途半端な席でした。他のゴールデンサークル席の最前列は沢山開いていたのに、団体客用に取っておく必要があるのだと思います。うちは３名参加だったので、他の少人数の参加者との相席になりました。

会場は四角い大きな舞台の３辺に８名掛けのテーブルが並べられ、舞台から一番近いテーブルがゴールデンシートになっていました。ゴールデンシートから２ｍほどの通路を挟んだ後方のテーブルが普通席です。ゴールデンシートの一番後ろの席になると、普通席と２ｍほどしか変わりません。
また、ヒルトン・グランド・バケーション・クラブのオーナーなら、普通席の料金でゴールデンシート席へ無料アップグレードできました。知らずに無駄な出費をしてしまいました。
コスパは普通席なら☆３つ、ゴールデンサークル席なら☆２つ。
ルアウ自体はとても良かったです。

I definitely recommend it at least once.

The kids were thrilled!

一度はお勧めです。

子供は大喜び！

Turtle Canyon was great.

We researched extensively before selecting this excursion and it was even better than we had hoped for! We had 2 adults and two children, ages 16 and 11. One of the parents and the 11 years old had never been snorkeling before. Every member of the family had an incredible time! We would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to swim & snorkel and see some of the most incredible sea life Hawaii has to offer. It's an experience our family will remember for a lifetime!! Thanks again!! We will definitely be seeing you again on our return travels to Waikiki!!

I participated as part of a beginner group. It was great to have a Japanese instructor who taught us various things. However, I ended up purchasing a $30 photo CD-ROM (which contained pictures taken by the school during the lesson), but unfortunately, almost all the photos were backlit and only showed shadows. Moreover, most of the pictures were of other surfers, leaving me wondering what the purpose of the purchase was...

初心者のグループで参加しました。
日本人インストラクターだったので、いろいろと教えてもらえてよかったです。
ただ、最後に30ドルの写真CD-ROM（スクールの方がレッスン中の風景を撮影してくれたもの）を購入したのですが、残念なことに、ほぼ逆光で影しか見えず、しかも、ほかのサーファーの写真ばかりで、なんのために購入したのか…という感じでした。

At 56 years old, I took on my first challenge. I was the only man among young women, along with my wife and daughter. Perhaps because of that, I was mostly left alone. The pre-coaching and advice on the water were spot on, and I was able to ride from the very beginning. It felt great, and I spent quite a long time on the board, so paddling back to shore was tough. My knees were sore from rubbing against the board, but it was an incredibly fun time. The feeling of riding the waves and gliding over the ocean was the best. I also received an original shirt, and the images of the 30 CD were very beautiful and well-captured, making it a great value for the price. I'm really glad I participated. Compared to various shops, this was the best one.

56歳で初挑戦。
若い女性たちにまじって、妻と娘と。男は私一人でしたが、そのせいか、ほとんど放っておかれました。
事前のコーチも海上のアドバイスも的確で、初めから乗れました。
気持ちが良くて、何回もかなり長い時間乗ったので、沖まで戻るパドリングが辛いこと、辛いこと。
ボードを両足で挟み込んで膝の内側が擦れていたかったのですが、とにかく楽しい時間でした。
波に乗れている感覚、海の上を滑るような感覚、最高でした。
オリジナルのシャツも貰えるし、30💲のCDの画像もとても綺麗で沢山撮影されているし、コスパも最高です。
本当に参加して良かったです。
色々なショップと比較しても一番良いショップでした。

I experienced surfing for the first time. All the instructions and explanations were in English, and I was really anxious at first, but there was someone who could speak Japanese, so they explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel relieved. After the explanation, we headed straight to the beach!! From there, we immediately went out to the ocean and started surfing. It was scary at first, but once I was able to ride the wave, I became hooked! They also provided transportation back, and I truly made wonderful memories! I definitely want to surf again.

初めてサーフィンを体験しました。指導や説明が全て英語で、最初は不安がいっぱいでしたが、日本語が話せる方がいらしたので、日本語で説明して頂き安心しました。説明を受けたあとはもう目の前のビーチへ！！そこからはもういきなり沖に出てサーフィンが始まりました。最初は怖かったですが、一度乗れるとやみつきになります！帰りは送迎もして頂き、本当に楽しい思い出が出来ました！また絶対サーフィンがやりたいです。

I experienced 110 meters. It was a lot of fun both on the boat and while flying in the sky!

110メートル体験しました。船の上も空を飛んでいる間もとても楽しかったです！

I was worried when I read in the review that "you can get quite seasick," but I had so much fun that I forgot about any seasickness! On the same boat, there was another Japanese couple along with a family of eight Americans. Two American staff members were also on board. They communicated with us in broken Japanese, so it wasn't a problem even if you can't speak English. However, even though we didn't say we didn't want to get wet, everyone ended up staying dry. We were fully prepared to get wet, wearing our swimsuits... But in the end, it was so much fun that I was very satisfied! ★

レビューに「かなり船酔いする」とあり心配でしたが、船酔いも忘れるくらい楽しかったです！
同じ船には、私たちともう1組の日本人夫婦、あとアメリカ人の8人組の家族でした。そこに、アメリカ人スタッフ2人が乗ってくれます。スタッフさんは、片言の日本語で対応して下さるので、英語を話せなくても問題はありませんでした。
ただ、「濡れたくない」と言っていないのに全員濡れずに終わりました。私たちは濡れる気マンマンで水着を着ていたのですが・・・。
でも、結果的にはとっても楽しかったので大満足★です。

It was thrilling, fun, and absolutely amazing! The views of Honolulu, including Diamond Head, and speeding across the blue ocean on the boat felt incredible. There were many international guests on board, which really added to the excitement. Also, I had to change my schedule at the last minute due to a delay in immigration, but I was grateful for the quick communication from the local team.

スリリングで、楽しくて、最高でした！
ダイヤモンドヘッドなど、ホノルルを一望できる景色や、青い海をスピードある船で走るのは本当に気持ちいい。
同乗の方は外国の方も多くて、大いに盛り上がりました。
また、入国が遅れてギリギリで日程変更しましたが迅速に現地連絡頂けて助かりました。

When staying at Hilton, I will take my children because they want to see the show, but I think the short stay is quite expensive. The dining arrangements vary depending on the price of the seats, so I recommend the more expensive seats. With the cheaper seats, it feels like the show starts just as you finish your meal. However, since it's a major show, I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance for those who want specific seats on their desired viewing date.

ヒルトンに宿泊すると子供が観賞したがるので連れて行きますが、ショートしてはかなり割高だと思います。
シートの値段によって食事への案内が変わるので、高い席がお勧めです。安い席だと食事を取り終える頃にはショーが始まってしまう感じです。
ただメジャーなショーなので希望の席を希望する観賞日でという方は是非事前に予約をお勧めします。

I participated in the tour that started at 3 PM on the day I arrived in Hawaii. There were more foreign tourists than Japanese, allowing me to experience a sense of being in a different country in Hawaii, which is usually filled with Japanese visitors.

We took a boat to reach the submarine waiting offshore, but many people experienced seasickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it (the submarine itself was stable). There were many colorful fish on the ocean floor off Waikiki, and we also saw sharks. I was excited about the rare experience of riding in a submarine. The view of Diamond Head from offshore Waikiki was also beautiful.

　ハワイに到着した日に15時からの回で参加しました。日本人観光客よりも外国の人が多く、日本人が多いハワイで異国気分を味わえました。
　沖に待機している潜水艦までは船で行くのですが、船酔いされている方も多く、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお勧めします(潜水艦は揺れは大丈夫でした)。ワイキキ沖の海底にもカラフルな魚がたくさんおり、その他サメなども見られました。潜水艦に乗るという滅多に出来ない体験に興奮しました。またワイキキ沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした。

My husband and I had a great time on our Parasailing Excursion! We booked the 1000' line and it was absolutely breathtaking. The crew was great and the boat was very nice and clean. Thanks guys for a great time! :)

The Atlantis submarine is available in other regions as well, but I think Hawaii has a greater variety of marine life to encounter.

To board the submarine, you take a short cruise on a boat. From there, you transfer to another vessel and dive into the deep sea.

That day, I was satisfied to see a sea turtle swim right in front of me and a school of fish.

However, it was a bit disappointing that the return cruise took a little longer than expected.

潜水艦アトランティスって他の地域にもありますが、ハワイは他よりも出会える海の生き物たちが多いと思います。

潜水艦に乗るにあたっては、沖までちょっとした？クルーズ船に乗ります。
そこから海上で船を乗り換えて、深海へ潜っていきます。

その日はウミガメが目の前をよぎったり、魚の軍団を見れたり満足でした。

ただ、帰りのクルーズ船でやや寄ってしまったのが残念でした。

On the first night of my arrival on Oahu, I watched a show to experience Hawaii. It started while it was still light out, and as dusk turned to night, the content of the show shifted from a relaxed pace to the intense fire dance. The show featured a variety of different performances in a short span, and I learned that there are many types of hula, making me want to delve into its history. The buffet before the show was delicious, and I was able to enjoy traditional dishes to my heart's content, which left me very satisfied. I think it's worth seeing for first-timers.

オアフ島到着初日の夜にハワイを感じるためショーを見ました。
まだ明るい時間からスタートし、だんだん夕暮れから夜になるにつれ、ショーの内容もゆったりしたものからファイヤーダンスの激しいものに変化をしていきます。
ショーも短いスパンでいろんな趣向のものを見せて頂き、一概にフラと言っても色んな種類があることを学びました。フラの歴史を紐解きたくなりました。
ショーの前のバイキングのお料理もどれも美味しく、伝統料理をお腹いっぱい食すことが出来、大満足でした。
初めての方は一度見てみるといいかな、と思いました。

I participated in this luau show because I wanted to immerse myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere during my stay. I made a reservation early with high hopes, but just because I booked early doesn’t guarantee a good seat (cry). It felt like they were seating us in order of arrival. The host spoke in English, so I couldn’t understand what was being said, which might reduce the enjoyment for those who don’t speak English, but the dancing was truly amazing, as expected from the authentic setting. The fire dance, in particular, was incredibly powerful and the best part! The venue isn’t very large, so I think you can see the show well from any spot. Therefore, I felt that it’s sufficient to go with a standard seat without paying extra. The only advantage of the premium seats is that they let you go to the buffet first. The food was fairly good.

滞在中によりハワイ気分を味わいたくて、このルアウショーに参加しました。
気合を入れて早くから予約していたのですが、早く予約を入れたからといっていい席とは限らないのですね（泣）
入場した順番で前の席から案内されるといったカンジでした。
司会進行役（？）の方が英語なので何を言っているのかわからず、英語を話せない方にとっては楽しさ半減かもしれませんが、ダンスはさすが本場だけあって素晴らしかったです。
特にファイヤーダンスが迫力満点で最高でした！
場所的にはそんなに広くないのでどの場所からでもショーは良く見えると思います。
なので、わざわざ高いお金を払わなくてもスタンダードシートで十分だと思いました。
プレミアムシートのメリットはブュッフェを先に取りに行かせてくれるぐらいです。
料理はまあまあ美味しかったです。

I've done parasailing a few times, but it was my first time in a spot where I could see the city of Waikiki!
Seeing the city from the sea was refreshing and felt really nice☆☆☆
Even while waiting, the boat rides were exhilarating and enjoyable^^
However, the restroom at the dock was extremely dirty and had no door, which was disappointing.
Once on the boat, you'll need to cram your belongings at your feet, so it might be a good idea to bring a plastic bag that you don't mind getting dirty.

パラセーリングは何度かしたことがありますが、ワイキキの街が見渡せる場所では初めてでした！
海から見る街は新鮮でとても気持ちよかったです☆☆☆
待っている間もボートが走っているので爽快で気持ちいいです^^
ただ、船着き場のトイレがめちゃくちゃ汚いうえに扉がないです泣
ボートに乗ったら荷物も足下に詰め込む感じなので、ビニール製の汚れてもいいバッグを持っていった方がいいかも。

The meals are buffet style, but the taste is quite delicious. The show is also worth seeing. However, I arrived late and had trouble finding the venue since it was in a hard-to-locate area. The Hilton is very large, so it would be nice to have a map attached.

食事は、ビッフェスタイルですが、味はかなり美味しいです。ショーも見ごたえがあります。ただ、集合時間に遅れて行ってしまったので、会場がわかりずらい所で探すのが苦労しました。ヒルトンは、とても広いので案内図が添付されているといいですね。

My family had a fabulous time.

I attended as a "ride along only" while my husband and daughter parasailed. We ALL had a great time! The ocean was quite rough and it was windy, but the staff was very watchful of the safetly of the guests both parasailing and in the boat. I chose this company because of their concern for safety and they were excellent in all respects. I took photos, but we also purchased those from the company and their photos were much better than mine! The crew was wonderful, the office staff was organized and fun to talk to and the whole experience was most enjoyable! I highly recommend this activity and company to everyone!

We were excited to enjoy a traditional Hawaiian show with the family. As soon as we entered the venue, we were greeted with leis, creating an amazing atmosphere! The meal was served in a buffet style, and while the menu was very American, it was definitely satisfying! The fire dance was the most impressive part of the show. Since we visited in December, it was a bit chilly at night, so a light jacket is a must! I think this is a place everyone should visit at least once when in Hawaii!

家族でハワイ伝統のショーを見れるとあって、うきうきしながらの食事でした。
会場に入ると、さっそくレイをかけてもらえて、雰囲気抜群です！！食事は、順番にバイキングへ案内されます。
ザ・アメリカンな内容ですが、食べごたえ抜群！！
ショーはファイヤーダンスが一番印象的でした☆
１２月参加だったので、夜が肌寒く、羽織ものは必須です！
ハワイに行ったら、一回は訪れてみるべきだと思います！

I always go to the shows at the Polynesian Cultural Center and leave feeling moved, but this time I didn't want to travel far, yet I still wanted to see a show, so I participated for the first time.

First, I thought I would meet Alan, the staff member, at the meeting point, but before I knew it, we were taking photos and lining up all the way to the rooftop. The wait time was long, so I wondered if I should have gone a little later.

The food was okay in taste, but the variety was quite similar, and I didn't feel full. There wasn't much time to eat either.

However, the dance was amazing, and the fire dance was truly spectacular. It was wonderful. I think it's worth it just to see the dancers! The dancers were cool, and the women were beautiful! My ten-year-old child also enjoyed it.

Regarding the meeting point, I think a little more explanation would help first-time visitors feel more at ease.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターでのショーにいつも行き、感動して帰りますが、今回は遠くまで行きたくなく、でも、ショーは見たいということで、初めて参加しました。

まず、集合場所で、アランスタッフと会えるのかと思っていたら、あれよあれよというままに、写真や行列で屋上まで。
待ち時間が長かったので、もう少しあとに行けばよかったかな？

料理は味はまあまあですが、種類が似たようなものばかりで、おなかいっぱいにはなりませんでした。食べる時間もあまりなかったです。

でもダンスは最高で、やはりファイヤーダンスは圧巻です。素晴らしかったです。ダンスを見るだけなら、十分だと思います。ダンサーもかっこいい！女性もきれい！
十歳の子供も楽しんでいました。

集合の点については　もう少し説明があると初めての方も安心すると思います。

The last time I went to Hawaii, I saw parasailing from Waikiki Beach and thought I would try it the next time I came to Hawaii. There were 12 people in 6 groups on the boat, and we took turns. I watched the first person, so I had an idea of what to expect. When I flew, the deep blue ocean was right below me. It was a bit scary at first, but when I looked up, I could see the buildings of Waikiki all at once. Since I was in the middle of the order, after I landed, I was able to comfortably watch the others while enjoying the cruise vibe. We could return to the hotel before 11 AM, so we could make the most of our day. If you plan to bring a camera while flying, I recommend using a strap that you can hang around your neck.

前回ﾊﾜｲに行った時にﾜｲｷｷﾋﾞｰﾁからﾊﾟﾗｾｰﾙをしているのが見えて、次ﾊﾜｲに来たらやってみようと思ってました。
船には6組12名で乗り順番です。最初の人のを見ていたので
ｲﾒｰｼﾞはつきました。飛んでみると真下には真っ青なﾌﾞﾙｰの海。ちょっと最初は怖かったのですが、顔を上げるとﾜｲｷｷのﾋﾞﾙが一望できました。順番は真ん中だったので降りてからは他の人のを余裕を持って見つつ、ｸﾙｰｽﾞ気分も味わえました。11時前にはﾎﾃﾙにも戻れるので1日を有効に使えます。
飛んでる時にカメラを持参される方は首から
かけられるｽﾄﾗｯﾌﾟをお勧めします。
