If you are down for a decent workout plus an absolutely exceptional experience go on this excursion.
The kayak trip is breathtaking. You are paddling along more or less the Kauai jungle. Once you complete your paddle up it’s off to a beginner level hike.
The hike consists of a couple of water crossings and then being immersed in open cane like fields and then into dense rain forest. Then you begin to get peaks of the waterfall ahead.
The arrival at the waterfall is phenomenal. For us it was our first time to a Hawaiian waterfall and all the hype and what you expect to experience, well, it’s true! Bask in the beauty of the falls, go enjoy the water and feel it crashing about you, you won’t be disappointed. It was a bit chilly at first but once in it’s comfortable.
This is where you get lunch, the sandwiches were great, the cookies, those were delicious!
Once you get to spend the 45 or so minutes at the falls it’s time for the hike back. Take in the scenery, it’s truly breathtaking.
Once back at the kayaks it’s time for the 2 mile paddle back to the marina. Here’s our advice on the paddle, go easy heading out to save your energy for the paddle back. It seems there is always a head wind for the return trip, we’ve heard this from friends who did it in the Spring and we did it late June. Just expect a harder return paddle then out.
Our guide was Steve, so I can’t speak for the other guides. But he was a top notch guide. Shared great info on what we were seeing, the horticultural significance of the area and some Kauai history, you are traveling through where the Hawaiian Kings/Queens lived.
Couple of tips, if you are a mosquito attraction like my wife, bring some bug spray. Absolutely make sure you have a refillable water container, it’s hot and you are working. And, go do this excursion, hands down the most fun thing we’ve done on the islands.

Wearing clothes that can get dirty and sun protection are essential.

This ATV experience was unlike any I’ve had before. It’s located on a farm, so you get to see the farm animals, feed them, and pet them, which is pretty cool. You can enjoy the farm life before or after you ride. I HIGHLY recommend using their goggles. Sunglasses do diddly squat when you’re out there riding; it gets very dusty. You ride to a track, do many laps on the track, and then ride to scenic areas where they will take pictures of you. The track got boring after a while; I recommend that they utilize more space or a different area for ATV rides to change it up. They took a video of us on the track, and wanted $10 for one minute-long video that included my family and people I didn’t know that were in and out of the frame in a flash. Needless to say, we did not buy the video. Despite this, they were kind-hearted and led us to see the beautiful scenery where we could get the best pictures. I enjoyed the experience!

During my stay in Hawaii, the best experience by far was this tour.
● The scenery used in Jurassic Park. Specifically, there are vast grasslands with steep cliffs visible in the distance.
● Then, we crossed the forest and viewed Diamond Head from the top of a hill.
● This might be seasonal, but on the way back through the forest, the guide shared edible fruits and plants, keeping things interesting.
● The horses were calm, and there were few bugs, providing a rich experience. Since there was no trotting or galloping, I recommend it for beginners! Even as an experienced rider, I was completely satisfied without any fast-paced riding.
ハワイ滞在中、間違いなく最高の体験はこのツアーでした。
●ジュラシック・パークでも使われた風景。具体的には、草原が広がり遠くに切り立った崖が見えます。
●そして森を越えて、丘の上からダイアモンドヘッドを眺めました。
●これは季節限定かもしれないですが、帰りの森の中でもガイドさんは食べられる木の実や草を渡してくれて飽きさせない内容でした。
●馬たちもおとなしく、虫も少ない、心豊かな経験を得られました。速歩や駆け足はやらないので、初心者の方もオススメです!経験者ですが、速歩などなくても大満足でした。

First of all, it was great that a Japanese staff member assisted us upon arrival, making everything easy to understand. After that, it was all in English, but we managed somehow despite the language barrier. Riding the four-wheeled buggy was a thrilling and exciting experience, like an attraction at a theme park! The instructions mentioned that long pants were required, but in reality, most people were wearing shorts. Anyway, the dust was incredible, so our clothes got dirty. We spent two hours enjoying beautiful scenery and navigating bumpy roads while having a blast, and I was very satisfied!
まず、現地到着時は日本人スタッフの方が対応していただけたのでわかりやすくて良かったです。後は英語のみですが わからないなりになんとかなりました。四輪バギーはテーマパークのアトラクションのようにスリルあってエキサイティングな経験でした!注意事項で長ズボン必須とありましたが 実際はみんな半パンがほとんどでした。とにかく砂ぼこりがすごいので服は汚れます。2時間 キレイな景色を見たり デコボコ道をギャーギャー言いながら進んで行き 大満足でした!

My family wanted to do the Horseback riding while vacationing in Hawaii.
This location was AMAZING! We drove out to the other side of the island, which was pretty awesome to be away from the touristy rside.
Our tour guide was a young gal who treated my family GREAT! She was very professional, kind and knowable about horses. I believe her name was Freda
The path (trail) we took was absolute Breathe taking. The ocean is sooooooo beautiful. Better than the tourist side! Even the grassy trails were . The horses are beautiful, well trained and they looked professionally cared for.
I rate Frida , the horses, the trail with 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Now… as for the other gal (straight blonde hair) who also was NOT our tour guide. I believe her name was Phoebe Giving her ⭐️
She was not interested in interacting with my family.
Wow.. as soon as youngsters arrived for their tour… Phoebe, was SOCIAL and guided them with EVERYTHING and she was giddy too. Total change.
We were all grouped together but would be toured separately. When she spoke out she said, you’ll go out separately and you’ll be taken out by me or Freda. Bam, I already knew she wasn’t going to be our tour guide because we weren’t young as the other group. She wanted to tour the ones closest to her age group. That’s perfectly fine but you’re not supposed to make it so obvious.
Anyhow, we were so PLEASED to have Freda guide us. She made this experience GREAT that we would do this again with her!

For those participating in this tour:
1. As you will get covered in sand, it's recommended to wear all black clothes or clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
2. Using a locker is not mandatory for this tour, but it's definitely better to use one. (The locker fee is $5, payable in cash or credit. You can access it multiple times!) Your belongings will also get sandy. I think it's fine to have just one phone among your group!
3. Since you'll be covered in sand, your face will also be quite dirty, so it would be great to have a makeup pouch (makeup remover wipes would be ideal).
4. After participating in this tour, I had a hamburger at a café, and since it's American-sized, I recommend sharing one between two people!
If you keep these three points in mind, I believe you'll have a fun tour! As for safety, you can feel secure watching the Japanese video. The local guides will speak in English, but you might be able to understand the atmosphere!
Regarding tips, it's not mandatory for this tour or others. When I participated, there were six groups, but only two or three gave tips!
このツアー参加する方は、
1、服装は、全身砂まみれになるので、真っ黒な服や汚れてもいい服・靴がおすすめです。
2、ロッカー預かりに関しては、このツアー必須ではありません。が、絶対に預けたほうがいいです。(ロッカー代5ドルは、現金・クレジット支払いできます。取り出し何度もできます!)
荷物も砂まみれになります。携帯も砂まみれになるので、誰か一台あればいいと思います!
3、砂まみれになるので、顔も砂でひどいので、
メイクポーチ(メイク落としシートとかあれば最高)もあるといいと思います。
4、このツアー参加した後、カフェでハンバーガーを食べたのですが、アメリカンサイズなので2人で一つがおすすめです!
この3点に気をつけて参加して頂ければ
きっと楽しいツアーだと思います!
安全面に関しては、日本語動画を視聴するので安心してください!あとは現地の方の英語トークですが、雰囲気でわかるかもしれません笑
このツアーも他のツアーもそうでしたが、
チップに関しては必須ではありません。

I can't speak English at all, but when we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, a Japanese guide explained the location of the restrooms, the check-in points for each activity, and the return time, after which we dispersed. We each completed the check-in for our activities. We chose the Raptor (buggy). All check-ins were in English. I was able to watch the Japanese version of the briefing. If you show your Japanese driver's license at check-in, you receive a wristband, and only those wearing the wristband can drive. During the activity, we stopped three times, and the guide provided explanations after we got out of the vehicle, but everything was in English, so I didn't understand. However, since I don't often get the chance to drive on off-road paths, it was very exciting and fun.

We booked this tour based on these reviews, it seems that these reviews were spot on. Our tour started when Tod picked us up on time and whisked us off to our island adventure. He was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to explain Hawaiian culture and pointed out things in our drive that were informative.
The stargazing portion of our tour was an incredibly unique and awe-inspiring experience. Tod was a knowledgeable guide and took us to a dark and remote location in Mauna Kea, perfect for stargazing. With the use of his personal high-quality telescope, binoculars and a powerful laser pointer, we were able to see constellations, planets, and even faint nebulae. Tod also shared interesting facts and stories about the night sky, making the experience both informative and enjoyable.
Tod even made the experience memorable by playing The Planets by Gustav Holst, its those little details, that made this tour the highlight of our Big Island Vacation.
Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone who wants to see the stars in all their glory accompanied by our an amazing guide Tod.
Make sure to request him on your next stargazing adventure.

I've been to Hawaii eight times, but this is my first time at Kualoa Ranch! Since I was here, I chose to ride a buggy through the great outdoors. There are also options for horseback riding and movie tours. We hardly understand any English... At first, there’s an orientation with other tour guests, but I couldn't understand anything they were saying at all. It seems they were just telling us to gather at each location when the time comes. The meeting point for the buggies is a bit further in and hard to find. We follow a few tour vehicles behind the instructor. Driving the buggy is definitely fun, but those riding along can enjoy it too. We stop at several movie filming locations to take pictures. However, I have no idea what they are explaining (crying). There are muddy spots along the way. We plunge into puddles like on Disneyland's Splash Mountain. It's absolutely essential that your face and clothes get dirty, so it's best to avoid wearing anything too nice!

We participated as a family (father, mother, a high school sophomore son, and a junior high school daughter). My daughter hadn't ridden a bicycle in a long time, so she was anxious and initially said she didn't want to ride, canceling her reservation. However, just before the event, she decided she wanted to participate after all and made a new reservation. I felt a bit sorry about the changes, but I really appreciate how smoothly VELTRA handled the cancellations and changes in the number of participants!
On the day of the event, there was some traffic on the highway, so we arrived slightly late, but the schedule had enough buffer time before the activity started, so it was fine.
The activity involved our family of four along with two couples, making a total of eight participants, with one instructor guiding us all as we rode around the ranch. At the beginning, we watched a safety video, chose our bicycles, and practiced a bit before setting off.
My daughter was right at the height limit, so she couldn't quite reach the ground while seated and looked anxious, but she seemed to get the hang of it after a while. I think if you're around 155 cm tall, you should be able to reach the ground comfortably. Additionally, one of the younger female participants seemed a bit scared of the speed at times and struggled to keep up, but the instructor rode slowly to help her, and she managed to complete a lap. Since we rode on unpaved slopes, it might be a bit intimidating for those who are not used to cycling.
Overall, it felt fantastic to zip through such beautiful scenery, and everyone at the facility was very kind (though they didn't speak Japanese), making it the best activity! I think families, couples, and even solo travelers can enjoy it!
家族(父、母、高2男子、中2女子)で参加しました。
娘は久しく自転車に乗っていなかったので不安がっており乗りたくないと言って一旦一人だけ予約をキャンセルしました。
しかし直前になってやはり参加したいと言い出し、再度予約。
申し訳ないなぁと思いつつ、キャンセルや人数変更の手配がとてもスムーズにできたのでVELTRAさんには感謝です!
当日は高速道路の渋滞などもあり集合時間に若干遅れてしまいましたが、アクティビティ開始までは多少余裕をもった時間設定になっていたためセーフでした。
アクティビティは私たち家族4人と、他に男女のカップルが2組いて、計8人に対してインストラクターが一人ついて全員で一緒に牧場内を走行します。
開始時には安全確認のための映像を見て、各自自転車を選び、少し練習をしてから出発です。
娘は身長制限ギリギリだったので座った状態ではぴったり足がつかず不安そうでしたが慣れると大丈夫そうでした。
155cmくらい身長があると足がつくイメージかと思います。
また、同行メンバーの若い女性の方は途中スピードが怖かったのか、なかなか流れについて来れない場面もありましたがインストラクターの方がゆっくり走ってくれたり、どうにか1周していました。舗装されていない坂道を走ったりするので自転車に抵抗のある方にとっては少し怖いのかもしれません。
とにかく景色のいいところを颯爽と駆け抜けていくのがとても気持ちよくて、施設の方もみんな親切で(日本語は通じません)、最高のアクティビティでした◎家族、カップル、ひとりでも楽しめると思います!

I was guided to Haleakalā by Mr. Yamauchi from Maui All Stars.
Before it got dark, I was moved by the stunning display of the setting sun and the sea of clouds below, painted in shades of crimson. As the sun set and darkness fell, countless stars began to shine in the sky. Thanks to Mr. Yamauchi's extensive expertise and equipment, I was able to easily identify the names of the stars and constellations sparkling in the night sky. This sight was something that couldn't be captured by a camera, so I etched the starry sky into my heart.
I was particularly excited to see both the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross at the same time, which are rarely visible together. I don't think such luck will come my way again, but I hope to create another opportunity to visit. If you ever go to Maui, be sure to visit for the sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā. And do it with Mr. Yamauchi as your guide... Kiba.

It takes about 45 minutes by large bus from the hotel in Waikiki to the site. The buggy start time is set, so we have free time until then. Other activities are fully booked, so while there are opportunities to interact with horses, go shopping, and have light snacks, we end up with some idle time. When it was time to gather, we watched a Japanese-language safety explanation video and then set off in a convoy of six vehicles. We took breaks along the way, sharing stories from movies and taking photos at scenic points. There was no Japanese interpreter, which was a bit lonely. The ranch is in a valley surrounded by mountains, and because it hasn't been touched by humans, it has a sacred atmosphere. In the latter half, we just moved forward without worrying about the ups and downs of the mountain paths or the muddy puddles! Both the driver and the passengers had a great time.
By the end, the T-shirt I bought the day before was covered in mud, and I had a good laugh at the muddy nose shadow! It's best to wear clothes and bring items that you don't mind getting dirty. The gathering time was around 7 AM, and the return bus departed at 1 PM. You could either book activities for the afternoon and spend the whole day or return to Waikiki for some free time in the afternoon. I went with my two daughters in their 20s and my parents in their 60s, and we're already thinking about what to do next time.
P.S. I think it depends on the weather, so be sure to check for cancellations. There are several pickup points, so look for a convenient one.

終わってみたら前日買ったTシャツが泥だらけに、泥のノーズシャドウに大笑い‼︎ 汚くてなってもいい服装、持ち物で行くべし。集合時間7時台 帰りのバスは13時現地出発だった。午後にもアクティビティを予約して1日すごしても良いし、午後はワイキキに戻ってフリーの時間にしてもいい。20代の娘2人とと60代の親、次回は何をしようか

I had a trouble right before and ended up being late for the meeting time (I had contacted them by phone in advance), but I was asked whether I would prefer to ① reschedule for another date or ② join from the middle, and I was able to reschedule for a later time on the same day. The zip line was numerous and long, so it was extremely fun!! I feel like this is the best zip line you can book on Oahu! However, the conversation is basically in English, so you are expected to respond in English to some extent. But even if you can't speak well, they will follow up properly, so there's no need to be too scared.
One point about Google Maps: the link provided here does not lead to the reception area. If you look around the area on Google, you might see a couple of locations, but the correct place is a bit further away, not the one closer to Kamehameha Hwy. Please be careful if you are accessing by car from the north!

直前にトラブル発生してしまい集合時間に遅れてしまった(事前に電話で連絡はしていた)のですが、
①別の日時に振り替える
②途中から参加する
のどちらが良いか尋ねられ、当日の遅い時間帯に振り替えることができました。ジップラインは数も多く、長いので非常に楽しかったです!!
オアフ島で申し込めるジップラインとしてはこれが最高な気がします!
ただ、基本的に会話は英語なので、英語である程度受け答えすることは求められます。でも話せなくてもちゃんとフォローしてくれるのでそこまで怖がらなくても大丈夫です。
一点、Googleの地図ですが、ここで掲載されているリンク先が受付ではありません。Googleで付近を見ると2つほど地点が見えると思うのですが、Kamehameha Hwyから近いほうでは無く、少し離れたところが正しい場所になります。北方面から車でアクセスする方は注意してください!

We participated in this tour as a family (four adults). I'm glad we chose the helicopter without doors. It was thrilling, and without the doors, we had a great view of the scenery!! I was impressed by the incredibly beautiful views, such as Hanauma Bay. The pilot (English only) was also very kind and wonderful! He piloted while explaining important locations. Don't forget to tip the pilot!! If you receive good service, it's nice to give a gratuity.
I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication, as I think people who are not used to helicopters will definitely get sick! We took motion sickness medication in advance and chose the shorter 30-minute course, but we still felt a little nauseous. Just when I thought I was getting sick, we landed, so it was okay, but if it had been the longer 60-minute course, I might have felt worse.
We also purchased the video recording option, but to be honest, I think it wasn't necessary. There was no audio, and the visuals weren't very clear, so it felt like it wasn't worth the price. Other than that, I was very satisfied! I highly recommend this tour!
私たちは家族(大人4人)でこのツアーに参加しました。ドアなしのヘリコプターを選択して良かったです。スリルがあったし、ドアがないので景色が良く見えました!!ハナウマ湾などすごく美しい景色に感動しました。そして、パイロット(英語のみ)の方もすごく優しくて素晴らしかったです!重要な場所の説明をしながら操縦してくださいました。パイロットさんにチップをあげるのを忘れないでくださいね!!良い対応してもらったらお心付けを渡しましょう。
ヘリコプターに慣れていない人は絶対酔うと思うので、酔い止めを飲むことを強くお勧めします!私たちは酔い止めを事前に飲み、短めの30分コースを選択しましたが、それでも少しだけ酔いました。酔って来たなーと思ったところで、着陸したので大丈夫でしたが、長い60分コースとかだったら気持ち悪くなっていたかもしれません。
私たちはオプションでビデオ録画も買いましたが、はっきりいってこれはいらなかったと思います。音声はないし、映像もあまり鮮明ではなかったので、これでこの値段か・・・って感じでした。それ以外は大満足!すごくお勧めのツアーです!

Overall the experience was great! We arrived a little late and we were still accommodated into the next tour. The tour guides were excellent and staff was extremely kind. The tour was well structured and we took a loop around the entire ranch. The scenery was majestic and I totally recommend.

Wow Gregg…you should become a professional review generator. Let me know if you ever need a job.
Seriously thanks for generating an excellent review that give potential clients a real sense of what is involved.
Having Steve as the guide is just icing on the cake on the journey to the falls and yes he is definitely "top notch".
Thanks taking the time.
Stay well and active.
A hui hou,
