Refreshing! The tour where you can explore the natural beauty of Hawaii and the fields used for filming Jurassic Park on a four-wheeler was fun. It's about a 1-hour drive from Waikiki, so it's best to arrive with some extra time. There is a slight wait after check-in, but it's not bothersome. My family was too scared to drive the four-wheeler, so it might be a bit challenging for women and beginners. When the unpaved roads are dry, the dust can be quite intense. It's advisable to wear the masks provided at the beginning of the tour, and bringing a change of clothes that you don't mind getting dirty is a good idea. Your face can get quite dusty, so having a towel to wipe your face after washing it with water would be helpful. If you follow the tour guide's instructions (in English), there shouldn't be any major issues.

気分爽快！ハワイの自然とジュラシックパークなどの撮影に使われたフィールドを四輪バギーで回れるツアーは楽しかった。移動はワイキキから車で1時間弱。余裕を持って到着したい。受付後の待ちが少しあるが気にならない程度。四輪バギーの運転は家族は怖がって運転出来ず、女性や初心者には少しハードルが高いかも。未舗装路が乾いていると砂埃がすごい。最初からツアーで配られるマスクは着用した方が良いのと、服は汚れてもいいものか着替えを持って行くと良い。顔も結構埃で真っ黒になるので水で洗った後に拭くタオルがあると良い。ツアーガイドの指示(英語)にしたがって運転すれば、大きな問題はありません。

We enjoyed the scenery as a group while riding in a line, but the girl at the front of the group felt a bit anxious when the path split, as there were no instructions on which way to go, and she kept looking back to wait for the guide. Although we were a group of six, we could hardly hear the guide along the way, so it felt like we were mostly enjoying the horseback riding and the scenery on our own. The views of both the sea and the mountains were fantastic. The guide's response was good, but I think it would be even more enjoyable if those two points were improved. Also, since it wasn't a lead horse, I thought it would be reassuring to have the best rental options available.

グループで馬が1列になり景色を楽しみましたが、グループの先頭になった娘は、道が別れた時どちらに行ったら良いか、指示がなく、何度も後ろを振り返りガイドさんを待ったりと、少し不安になる時がありました…６人でのグループでしたが、途中のガイドもほとんど聞こえず、自分で乗馬と景色を楽しんだ感じでした。景気は海、山両方楽しめて最高です。ガイドのお姉さんの対応はよかったのですが、その2点が改善されるともっと楽しめると思います。あと、引き馬ではないので、是非ベストのレンタルもあると安心できると思いました。

It was a tour where we could casually enjoy the unique nature of Hawaii. My wife has had a bit less stamina since she was in a wheelchair for about ten months a few years ago, but we are grateful for the support from the very energetic staff member, Tomomi! When you come to Hawaii, this kind of nature also helps detox your mind. I highly recommend this! Tomomi, keep up the great work!

ハワイならではの大自然を気軽に楽しめるツアーでした。家内が数年前に車椅子を10ヶ月ほど乗っていた関係で多少体力が少ないのですが、とっても元気なスタッフのトモミさんがサポートしてくれて感謝！ハワイに来たら、こんな大自然が心のデトックスもしてくれます。これもおすすめ！トモミさん、これからも頑張ってね！

So much fun! The views were amazing! My husband was like a kid on Christmas morning driving around in the mud. It down poured right before we left making extra big puddles to splash though. We enjoyed the puddles more than the dust. The guides were fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and made a safe and fun environment. This is very much an off road adventure. If you’re expecting a calm drive through the park, this is not for you.

This was an enjoyable experience, and it’s definitely worth doing. You’ll get dirty, so remember to bring a change of clothes. But the sights you’ll see and the pictures you’ll take will be unforgettable. The cafe on-site serves some of the most delicious food. Do yourself a favor and book this tour and enjoy a fun ATV ride!

Gracie and Levi were the best guides. Very knowledgeable and funny! My husband and I had a great time! The views were stunning!

So much fun, amazing experience, and beautiful views

My first buggy experience was so much fun! It felt like something you can't experience in Japan, and I have no regrets about trying it out!! I even bought a T-shirt on-site♪

【Reference Information】
- The bus from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch is cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.
- After arriving, you'll receive information about the meeting points for each course from a Japanese guide. Please note that further procedures may be necessary at the ticket center.
- Many comments mention getting completely covered in dust, but I didn't get that muddy. A sweat wipe was enough, and I didn't need to change.
- There is a Japanese version of the guidance video before boarding, so no problem there.
- The restaurant can get crowded, so if you plan to use it, I recommend going early.

Definitely give it a try!!

初めてのバギー、とても楽しかったです！
大自然の中を走り抜ける感じが日本では味わえない感じで、体験して一切の後悔なしです！！
現地でTシャツも買っちゃいました♪

【参考情報】
・ワイキキ↔︎クアロアランチのバスは寒いです。
　上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。
・現地に到着後、日本人ガイドさんから各々のコースの集合場所や集合場所を受けます。
その後、チケットセンター？で更に手続きが必要になりますのでご注意ください。
・砂埃に関して、真っ黒になるとのコメント多いですが私はそこまで泥んこになりませんでした。
汗拭きシートで拭けばどうにかなる程度で着替えは不要でした。
・乗車前のガイダンスムービーは日本語バージョンもあるので問題ないです。
・レストラン？は混雑しているので、利用の場合は早めに行くことをおすすめします。

ぜひご参加してみてください！！

Whether you like sunrise or sunset is personal, I do prefer sunsets: colors are more intense and after that the night comes with a zillion stars, a wondrous show magnified by the purity of the air.
Yoshi, the man from Maui All Stars, in charge of the tour is a courteous man and also a passionate astronomer. He does everything to make you feel comfortable: chairs, blankets, tea, cookies and a powerful Meade telescope that will bring you amazing views of moon and the stars.
What I want to point out is the importance of doing this with someone who loves what he's doing.
Unforgettable moment!
Thank you, Yoshi!!!

Jeff was an incredible tour guide! He was educational and also was great about making sure the group was doing okay! We had so much fun and would do again/recommend to friends!!

I was able to immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park while horseback riding. I was overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. The Japanese guidance was very comprehensive, so I felt no anxiety at all.

乗馬しながらジュラシックパークの世界に浸れました。壮大な景色に圧倒されました。日本語の案内も大変充実しているので、全く不安は感じませんでした

As a tour, the waiting time is too long and there's nothing to do, so it's boring. If possible, I recommend going directly with The Bus or by rental car.

The shuttle bus is large and luxurious, but the air conditioning is too strong, so it's essential to bring a jacket or something to wear. However, it's comfortable. If you want to rest and sleep, I recommend it.

The buggy ride is fun, and they help with interesting explanations and photo opportunities along the way, so you can enjoy it. Even the playful teasing like "Hurry up!" is fun (laughs).

The appeal of driving on rough roads means you should be prepared for mud splashes. You can enjoy getting dirtier than you would in Japan. If you're concerned, please bring a change of clothes. There are no changing rooms, so you'll need to use the restroom. Just for your reference.

I wondered if I should tip the two attendants (who also drove for those who wanted to enjoy the ride without driving), but I hesitated because I didn't have the right bills. I'm sorry... I wonder if $5 per person would have been okay?

I want to go again!

By the way, except for boarding the bus and checking in, everything is in English, but you could choose Japanese for the safety video before getting on the buggy. They check how to drive individually during the test run, so I think you can understand the atmosphere well enough even if you don't speak English. I recommend it!

ツアーとしては、待ち時間が長すぎるし、やる事が無いので退屈。可能であれば、直接、The Busか、レンタカーで行く事をオススメします。
送迎バスは、大きく豪華なので、冷房が効きすぎるので上着などの対策は必須ですが、快適です。疲れて寝たい場合には、オススメします。

バギーは面白いし、途中で降りてアトラクション感満載の面白い説明や写真撮影のお手伝いもしてくれるので、楽しめます。もっと早く付いてこい！みたいな煽りすら楽しい（笑）

悪路走行が魅力なので、泥跳ねは覚悟してください。日本ではあり得ないくらい、汚れる事を楽しめます。気になる方は着替えを持参してください。更衣室は無いのでお手洗い利用です。ご参考まで。

アテンド（運転せずに後ろに乗って楽しみたい人のために運転手もしてました）のお2人にチップを払った方がいいのかな？と思ったけど、ちょうどいいお札がなく躊躇してしまったのは心残りです。ごめんなさい…ひとり5ドルでもよかったのかなぁ？

また行きたいです！

因みに行きのバス搭乗と、チェックイン以外は、全て英語ですが、バギー乗車前の安全講習ビデオだけ日本語が選べました。運転の仕方は、テスト走行の際に個別に確認してくれるので、英語できなくても雰囲気で十分理解できると思います。
オススメです！

First of all, there was a detailed explanation in Japanese, so if you understand that, horseback riding was also easy. Although it was a two-hour session, it felt like it ended in no time. There were many things to see, and it was very enjoyable.

始めに、日本語で説明が詳しくありましたので、それを理解していれば、乗馬も暗線でした。
2時間の時間でしたが、あっという間に終わってしまったと感じました。
見る物も多くて、とても楽しかったです。

We had a great time, our tour guide was very nice and friendly. We recommend the experience, the views are amazing, a lot of Hawaiian history.

I was worried about altitude sickness and car sickness, but I was able to climb safely. I also got to see the astronomical observation facility up close. The sunset was beautiful beyond words, and the starry sky was breathtaking. I was moved. Thanks to KOKI's easy-to-understand explanations, I'm thinking of studying a bit about constellations. The sandwiches and cocoa were delicious too.

高山病と車酔いが心配でしたが無事に登ることができました　天体観測施設も間近で見られました　言葉で表す事が出来ない美しさのサンセット　満天の星　感動しました　KOKIさんの分かり易い説明に少し星座の勉強をしてみようかと思います
サンドイッチもココアも美味しかったです

Despite having no horseback riding experience in Japan, I made a reservation and quickly got used to the very calm and smart horses after about 10 minutes.

The beach has a nice breeze and is cool, but elsewhere, there is direct sunlight and little wind, so it's essential to stay hydrated. I recommend wearing long pants or leggings, and a sleeveless top is fine and just right for the weather.

I also enjoyed the atmosphere in Haleiwa. I think two hours is sufficient for exploring Haleiwa.

国内での乗馬経験が無いにも関わらず予約してしまいましたが、とっても大人しく賢いお馬さんたちで10分ほどすればすぐ慣れました。
浜辺は風が通って涼しいですがそこ以外は日光もあたり風も通らないので必ず水分が必要、洋服は長ズボン又はレギンス、トップスはノースリーブでも危なくないのでちょうど良いと思います。
ハレイワも雰囲気があり楽しめました。ハレイワ散策は2時間ほどあれば十分だと思います。

When I used this site to make a reservation, it was cheaper than booking directly at the store. The feeling is that while ascending in the Cessna, the tension builds up, and at the moment of the dive, the wind pressure is incredible as you stand at the edge of the plane. During the dive, since the ground is far away, there’s less fear compared to a 20 or 30-meter free fall. After the dive, you fall while enjoying the scenery, but even while falling, there’s no sense of the ground getting closer at all, and it feels like the ground slowly approaches after the parachute opens. This is my third experience, but in the past two times, I felt a bit of parachute sickness after the parachute opened, so I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it.

自身が利用した時はこのサイトで予約した方が直接店舗に予約するよりも安かった。感覚としてはセスナで上昇している間は緊張感が高まり、いざダイブする瞬間は、まず飛行機の縁にスタンバった時に風圧がすごいです。ダイブの瞬間は地面が遠いので2、30メートルのフリーフォールよりも恐怖感はないです。ダイブのした後は景色を見ながら落下しますが、落下している間も全く地面が近づいて来る気配がなく、パラシュートが開いた後にゆっくりと地面が近づいて来る感じです。今回3回目の体験になるが過去2回はパラシュートが開いた後、パラ酔いしてしまったので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止めをお勧めします。

I participated in a morning tour with transportation included. For a full two hours, I was able to ride around the magnificent Kualoa Ranch in a buggy! The views of the ocean and mountains were truly beautiful. It's a pity that the explanations were all in English, so I couldn't understand them very well...

送迎付きの午前ツアーに参加。みっちり2時間、壮大なクアロアランチをバギーで駆け回ることが出来ました！海と山の景色が本当に綺麗。説明はずっと英語なので、説明はあまり理解できなかったのが残念です…。

Have done this before, always plan this adventure when going to Kauai . Always take a family member or friend. So fun and Guides are always very friendly and funny. Upon returning I will plan it again.

I had a great time. Kualoa Ranch has many attractions, and I was worried that the time before and after the experience would be long and boring, but I was able to enjoy the wait for the bus.
Driving the buggies through the great outdoors was a lot of fun. I think even women can drive them, so if you have a license, definitely give it a try.

とても楽しかったです。クアロアランチは見所が沢山で体験の前後の時間が長く取られており退屈するか心配でしたが、バスまでの待ち時間も楽しく待つことができました。
バギーは大自然の中を駆け回るのでとても楽しかったです。女性でも運転できると思うので免許を持っている人は是非運転してみてください。

I have to say this is a must , had such much fun. The views weee incredible. I’ll definitely bring going back to kualoa ranch

After visiting the Dole Pineapple Plantation, I went horseback riding on the North Shore. We took a leisurely stroll along the coast on horseback. The horses were calm, making it enjoyable even for beginners.

ドールパイナップル園を訪ねた後に、ノースショアでの乗馬。海沿いを馬に乗りゆっくりと散歩。馬は大人しく初心者でも楽しめました。

I was able to do it even at 60 years old! I was also speaking a little bit of Japanese. Since you slide in for landing, I think it's a good idea to wear leggings.

60歳でもできました！
日本語も片言お話ししていました。
着地に滑り込むので、レギンスを履くと良いと思います。

It was a fish similar to a flatfish, so I wished we could have changed spots more often with the fish finder. I really think Japanese fishing boats are the best. It's perfect for sightseeing.

カワハギ的な魚だから魚探で見れてもっとポイント変えてほしかったです。やっぱ日本の釣り船が最強と思いました。観光には最高です。

It is not clearly stated in the notes, but at least one person in the participating group must drive. The buggy accommodates six people, but you cannot ride in a buggy driven by someone from another group. Additionally, although it is not mentioned in the instructions, you will get quite dirty as you drive for two hours through a bumpy jungle path with heavy dust. However, if you are accustomed to driving in Japan, driving the buggy is not too difficult, and there are filming spots related to Jurassic Park along the way, which made it a lot of fun!

注意事項に明記されておらず分かりづらいですが、参加するグループのうち誰か1人は必ず運転しなければなりません。バギーは6人乗りですが、他のグループの人が運転するバギーに相乗りするような案内はしてもらえません。それと、案内に記載はないですが、砂埃が激しく舞う中起伏の激しいジャングルの道を2時間駆け回るため、全身がかなり汚れます。とはいえ、日本での車の運転に慣れていればバギーの運転はそこまで難しくなく、途中にはジュラシック・パーク関連の撮影スポットもあり、大変楽しめました！

The pickup time from the hotel is at 10 AM, and we arrived at the site just after 12 PM. We wandered around Waikiki until 10 AM. If you have a rental car, it won't take an hour to get there. The horseback riding is scheduled for 3 PM. From 12 PM to 3 PM, there was nothing to do, and I wanted to join another sightseeing tour, but most of them were 60 to 120 minutes long, so I couldn't participate.

The horseback riding experience is a 90-minute course, and the pace is a slow walk. When I rode on the beaches of Australia, it was more of a brisk trot than a walk. I thought I would have a similar experience here, but I was very mistaken. If you go to this place, you should rent a car, experience what you want quickly, and then leave for other locations. After the horseback riding experience, we had to wait for an hour with nothing to do for the last group, and we left the site at 6:30 PM. We arrived at the hotel close to 8 PM. It was a waste of a day on this tour. The cost was also questionable. The most disappointing part was the time that was taken away.

Initially, I only reserved the shuttle, but since I was traveling alone, I joined the tour for peace of mind. It was great that they also took photos for us.

During lunchtime, I shared a sandwich with another solo participant, and we were able to try two different kinds, which made for a fun time. Thank you very much.

当初、シャトルのみを予約していましたが
一人旅なので安心の為にツアーに参加しました。
写真も撮ってくださったので良かったです。

ありがとうございました。

My first experience in a Cessna. I was filled with anticipation as I headed to Oahu. However, the morning hotel pickup was canceled, so I ended up joining in the afternoon. Later, I learned from a Japanese man in his 50s who was driving us that the morning flights were canceled due to heavy fog, which made me feel lucky. This man had extensive knowledge about Hawaii, and during the 20-minute drive, we became quite familiar with the area. The airport waiting room was very clean, and there were plenty of welcoming snacks. I also encountered the cleanest restroom of my Hawaii trip there. The flight route was explained by the pilot, who seemed friendly and was also a Japanese man in his 50s. I took motion sickness medication an hour before the flight, and off we went. Onboard, the scenery was stunning, and the pilot provided a wealth of commentary over the tourist spots, which made for an exciting experience. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was a comfortable journey in the sky. The flight lasted about 70 minutes from takeoff to landing. We circled over the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial about nine times while waiting for landing clearance, which was also fun. The landing was very smooth, with less vibration than my return flight on Delta Airlines.

I would definitely use this service again if I have the opportunity!

初めてのセスナ体験。期待に胸を膨らませオアフへ。ところが朝いちホテルピックアップが不可になり午後に参加することに。後で聞いたらその日の午前は霧が深くフライトできなかったと、送迎の50代と思われる日本人男性から聞きラッキーな気分。この男性のハワイの知識が豊富で20分程のドライブでかなりハワイ通になった私たち。空港の待合室はとても綺麗でおもてなしの菓子も沢山あり、ハワイ旅行中で一番綺麗なトイレに出会ったのもこちら。フライトルート説明が機長からあり分かりやすく人柄良さそうなこちらも50代と思われる日本人男性。酔い止めを1時間前に飲み、いざフライト。機上にて景色の素晴らしさ、観光地の上での盛り沢山の機長の解説、撮影等で盛り上がり、心配していた酔いもなく快適な空の旅。離陸から着陸まで約70分。着陸許可が出るまで真珠湾アリゾナ記念館上を9回ほど旋回し、それもまた楽しい。着陸もとても上手で帰路のデルタ航空より振動がなく笑。
また機会あれば是非利用します！

First Experience at 4000m
I was worried about altitude sickness and anemia, but taking breaks to acclimatize and gradually increasing the altitude, along with having warm clothing and enjoying sandwiches and cocoa, made it a good experience. I was able to participate without straining my body.
The scenery was truly something you can't see in Japan; it felt like I was experiencing both space and Earth, something only this tour offers. Priceless!
It was a view that made me want to participate again.

I joined in September, and as mentioned in the pre-tour briefing, it's essential to be well-prepared for the cold. I only wore the extreme warmth Heattech, but I think if I had a knit hat, gloves, and warm bottoms, I could have enjoyed stargazing outside even more (it was so cold that my hands went numb, so I spent the latter part warming up in the car).

初めての4000m級体験
高山病や貧血も心配でしたが、途中で体を慣れさせるために休憩したり徐々に高度を上げていったり、防寒具があったり、サンドイッチやココアなどいただけたのも良かったのかな。体に無理なく参加できました。
景色はほんと日本では観られない、このツアーでしか観られない宇宙も地球も感じる景色。プライスレス！
また参加したいと思える景色でした。

9月に参加しましたが、事前の説明にある通り、防寒対策はバッチリするに限ります。
私はヒートテックの極暖を着込んだだけでしたが、ニット帽・手袋・あったかいボトムスもあれば、星空観察ももっと外で楽しめたかなと思いました（寒くて手も痺れてたので、後半は車の中で暖をとりました）

The bus pickup time is early.
Once we arrived, we had plenty of time.
The exploration tour allowed us to enjoy unpaved roads.
The guide was kind and made time for us to get out of the car and take photos.
While Honolulu was mainly about the ocean, we also enjoyed the mountains, making it a great experience.

バス送迎の集合時間は早めです。
着いてからは時間に余裕がありました。
探検ツアーは未舗装路が楽しめます。
車を降りて写真撮影タイムを作ってくれたりと、
ガイドさんが親切でした。
ホノルルは海メインでしたが、山も楽しめてよい体験になりました。
