This tour was so amazing! Our pilot was knowledgable and they played fun music during the ride. We saw all the areas of the island that you cannot access. So many waterfalls, Wamea Canyon and the NaPali coast. We plan to come back and to this again with our kids.

This was our second time in a decade visiting, and we were impressed by the displays, knowledge of the staff and the Breath of Life show.

This is an excellent opportunity to experience Polynesian culture.

Some of the main activities, such as the lazy river, were unexpectedly closed, and I couldn't enjoy my time there. I was told it was because it wasn't the season yet, but I felt unhappy to hear that after paying the same high price as during the peak season. Also, the water was too cold, which made it uncomfortable.

なぜか流れるプールなどの主要アクティビティいくつかが停止されていて、ほぼ楽しめなかった。
まだシーズンではないからとのことだったが、ハイシーズンと同じ高い金額を払ったのに入園後に聞かされて嫌な気持ちでした。
そして水が冷たすぎてキツかったです。

We participated in the buggy experience at Kualoa Ranch as a couple!

We were picked up from our hotel around 8:00 AM and arrived at Kualoa shortly after 9:00 AM. We had free time until 11:00 AM, and activities started around 11:30 AM. The activities ended at 2:00 PM, and we were taken back to the hotel by bus at 3:00 PM.

The bus picked us up from the hotel and took about an hour to reach Kualoa Ranch! I thought I might freeze to death on the way there because the bus was so cold. (laughs)

There were other activities like horseback riding and cycling, and we were given explanations about the meeting points for each. The guide at that time was Japanese, which made me feel very relieved, but during the buggy experience, everything was in English, and there were no staff who understood Japanese, so I struggled a bit. (laughs)

There were about 15 other people participating in the buggy experience, all of whom were from overseas, communicating in English. They were receiving explanations about the mountains and scenery of Kualoa, but I didn't understand anything. (laughs)

However, the scenery was breathtaking, and driving the buggy was amazing! We took about two hours to go around Kualoa, stopping at about five photo spots to get out of the buggy and receive explanations. The coastline was beautiful, and it was fun driving through the mountains, with plenty of cows along the way. It was really enjoyable, especially since the weather was nice! It would have been boring if it had rained. (；；)(；；)

The activity cost about 30,000 yen per person, totaling around 60,000 yen for two, but it was worth it since we had a solid two hours of fun! (laughs)

For those who will be doing the buggy experience, your face will get covered in dust from the buggy tires, so make sure to wear the goggles and the cloth mask provided! For 2-3 days, my nose and ears were black!

クアロアランチのバギー体験に
夫婦二人で参加しました！

8:00頃ホテルにお迎え
9:00すぎクアロア到着
11:00まで自由時間
11:30位から各アクティビティスタート
14:00アクティビティ終了
15:00バスでホテルまで送迎
のような流れでした！

ホテルまでお迎えのバスが来てくれて
約1時間かけてクアロアランチへ！
行きのバスは寒すぎて死ぬかと思いました。笑

他にも乗馬、サイクリング、などのアクティビティがありそれぞれの集合場所を説明してもらえました！
この時のガイドの人は日本人の方で日本語で
とても安心しましたが
バギー体験では全て英語で日本語わかるスタッフがいなかったのでちょっと苦戦しましたwww

私たち以外にも15人ほどバギー体験の方がいましたが
皆様海外の方で英語でやり取りをしてて
クアロアの山の説明や景色の説明など受けてましたが何一つ分かりませんでした（笑）

けど景色は絶景でバギーの運転も最高でした！！
2時間ほどかけてクアロアを1周して
5箇所ほど写真撮影のスポットでバギー降りて、説明を受ける感じでした！
海沿いも綺麗だし山の中も走ってて楽しいし
途中に牛さんも沢山いて本当に楽しかった！
天気が良かったので尚更ですね！
雨だとつまんなそう(；；)(；；)

1人約3万円、2人で6万円ほどのアクティビティでしたが2時間みっちり楽しめたので良かったです！笑

これからバギー体験する方
お顔がバギーのタイヤではねた砂埃で真っ黒になるのでゴーグルと配られる布のマスクはしっかりつけましょう！2~3日鼻くそも耳くそも黒かったです！

I visited on a weekday in April, and it was quite empty, so I was able to ride the slides without much waiting. However, I'm not sure if it was because it was too empty, but the available slides changed depending on the time, and not all of them were operating at all times.

A Japanese woman from the tour was waiting at the pool entrance and kindly explained about the lockers and other things. She also offered help if anyone was having trouble. The large locker cost around $15 or $16, and you could open and close it as many times as you wanted.

The kids seemed to have a lot of fun, and I would like to go again.

4月の平日に遊びに行きましたが、ガラガラでスライダーはほとんど並ばずに乗れました。
ただ、空きすぎのせいなのか分かりませんが、スライダーは時間帯によって乗れる物が変わり、いつも全てがやっている訳ではありませんでした。

ツアーの日本人女性がプール入り口で待っていてくれてロッカー等の説明をしてくれたり、中でも困っている事があれば声を掛けてくれたりととても親切でした。
ロッカーは大の方で確か15か16ドルでした。何度も開け閉めし放題です。

子供もとても楽しかった様で、また行きたいと思います。

The shuttle bus driver and the staff who guided us on the boat were very kind, which made us feel very safe. It was wonderful to see not only the sandbar but also many sea turtles. After coming out of the water, some people felt cold, so it's good to be well-prepared with a jacket.

送迎バスの運転手さんや船で案内してくれたスタッフの皆さんとても親切でとても安心出来ました。
サンドバーだけでなく海亀もたくさん見る事が出来て素晴らしかったです。
海から上がったあとは寒くなってた人もいたのでしっかりと上着を用意出来てると良いです。

I couldn’t stop smiling driving the ATV around such a beautiful and famous location! The team were funny, friendly and knowledgeable.i had not realised how sacred this land is and it was great to learn more. I would highly recommend a visit.

This time, since I was traveling domestically from Kauai to Oahu, I was picked up from the domestic terminal, and the transfer went smoothly. Thank you very much.

今回、カウアイからオアフへ国内線移動だったため、国内線ターミナルからのピックアップでしたが、スムーズに送迎頂けました。ありがとうございました。

We had a great time at Kualoa Ranch! The visitor center was nice and had good food but the tour was outstanding! Johnny and Reece were great tour guides!

Check-in information:
Please note that the map guidance is not accurate. You can check in by providing your name at the ticket booth near the Wailua River boat launch. By the way, I was able to ride the bicycle I borrowed from the hotel and park it there.

About the tour:
On the boat, there was a sightseeing guide (historical explanation), and we all stood up and danced to Hawaiian music, creating a cheerful atmosphere. It's enjoyable even if you participate alone. I don't know what it was like when we could enter the fern cave, so compared to that, the fern volume seems a bit lacking, but it was still a good tour.

チェックインについて
地図の案内とずれているので注意です。ワイルアリバーボート乗り場のチケット売り場のところで名前を伝えれば受付できます。ちなみに、ホテルで借りた自転車でいき、停めることができました。

ツアーについて
ボートでは観光案内（歴史説明）もあったり、ハワイアンミュージックでみんなで立ち上がって踊ったり、陽気な雰囲気で過ごせました。1人参加でも楽しめます。シダの洞窟の中に入れた当時を知らないので、それに比較するとシダボリュームが貧弱のようですが、それでも良いツアーでした。

Our captain was awesome so was our server Faith… captain Michael!

It was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch in 30 years. I still have the impression from my last visit that the horses are very intelligent, and I feel the same way this time. I was able to enjoy a happy two hours of horseback riding in a location that is hard to experience in Japan. The guide was also very pleasant. It was the perfect experience for someone like me who loves Westerns and has always wanted to ride a horse in the great outdoors.

30年ぶりのクアロアランチでした。
前回、お馬さんがとっても賢いというイメージが残っていましたが、今回も同感です。
日本ではなかなか味わえないロケーションで、2時間も乗馬を堪能できるという幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。
ガイドの方も感じが良かったです。
西部劇が好きで、大自然の中で馬に乗ってみたいな、と思っていた自分にはピッタリの体験でした。

I participated in a night snorkeling tour with manta rays at Manta University, with transportation provided from Hilton and Kingsland. There was no Japanese interpreter, so I had to rely on observation to navigate the night sea. At first, the water was murky and I couldn't see anything, and it was cold, but I was thrilled when the manta rays appeared, illuminated by the lights. I managed to check in for the tour, snorkel in the night sea, and handle video streaming after disembarking, all through gestures, and I had a great experience even at over 60 years old.

ヒルトン、キンクスランドから送迎付きで、マンタ大学夜学部、野生野マンタナイトシュノーケリングツァーに参加。日本語通訳おらず、見よう見まねで夜の海へ。最初は水が濁って何も見えず、寒かったが、ライトに照らされたマンタの出現で感激。ツアーのチェックイン、夜の海でのシュノーケリング、下船後の動画配信等身振り手振りでなんとかこなし60過ぎていい体験をしました。

On the first day in Hawaii (May), I participated from 5 PM.

I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I joined.

I forgot my towel and was a bit anxious, but I was helped by being able to put it down on the boat when I got off the parasailing.

Most of the participants fell into the sea and got completely soaked, so it's better to bring a towel if you can.

I think it would be great if there were a towel rental service, either free or for a fee, and also a service providing motion sickness medication, as about 2 out of 10 participants were feeling sick from the boat ride.

ハワイきて初日（５月）に、17時〜で参加しました。

楽しくて参加してよかったです。

タオル忘れて行ってひやひやしましたが、パラセーリングから降りる時に、ボート上におろしてもらえたから助かりました。

参加者のほとんどが海に落とされてビショビショに濡れる方もいたので、タオルはできれば持って行った方がいいです。

無料か有料でタオル貸し出しサービスや船酔いで吐いてる人も参加者約10人中2人くらいいたので酔い止め提供のサービスがあれば、尚いいと思いました。

This was the first time my family joined me trying SNUBA. Doug was the best instructor and guide ever, very patient with beginners. If you have ever considered trying it, this is the place to try. Being able to see the fish and coral up close is amazing. Thank you Doug and Josh for a highlight of our trip.

I wanted to see a hula show, so I chose one of the entertainment shows that also offered dinner. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was delighted by the lei welcome, and I enjoyed the welcome drink, Mai Tai, as well as the buffet-style dinner, which was delicious. The service was timely, and the hula dancing during dinner was performed right beside us, making for a packed experience. I was able to see the long-awaited hula show from the front row, and it was incredibly powerful. The dancers were beautiful, and I was amazed at how the same performers could showcase such a variety of dances. I had just watched the movie "Elvis" on the plane, so I found it fascinating and enjoyable to see the Elvis show. Since I grew up during Michael's era, that was fun too. Above all, the fire show in the Polynesian show was spectacular and very impressive. It became a wonderful memory on my last night in Hawaii.

フラのショーを観たいと思いいくつかあるエンターテイメントショーの中から、ディナーも楽しめるとのことで選ばせていただきました。ハワイは初めてだったので、レイの歓迎も嬉しく、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイもバイキング形式のディナーも美味しくいただきました。タイミング良くサーブもしていただき、ディナー途中のフラダンスもすぐそばで踊ってくださるのと、また体験もあり盛りだくさんでした。念願のフラのショーも最前列正面で見させていただき、迫力も満点でした。ダンサーの方たちも美しく、多種のダンスも同じ方？って思うほど、各種類のダンスも七変化で楽しませてもらいました。エルビスのショーもちょうど機内で『エルビス』の映画を観たすぐだったので、そっくりだなぁーと思いつつ、興味深く楽しませてもらいました。マイケルもちょうど世代なので楽しかったです。そして何よりポリネシアンショーの火のショーが素晴らしく、迫力満点でした。ハワイ最後の夜に良い思い出となりました。

The sea was very beautiful and I had a great time!
I felt reassured that there were staff members who could speak Japanese!
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I initially put on the goggles incorrectly, but the staff kindly helped me fix it...! Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy it safely!
I saw coral reefs and fish, making it an unforgettable experience!
In May, the seawater was a bit cold, but I got used to it once I started swimming. It became a wonderful memory!
Thank you!

海がとっても綺麗で楽しかったです！
スタッフさんも日本語話せる方が居て安心でした！
シュノーケリングは初めてなのもあり、最初ゴーグルの付け方を間違えていたのですが、スタッフさんが優しく直してくれて助かりました…！おかげで安全に楽しめました！
珊瑚礁も魚も見られて忘れられない経験になりました！
5月なので海水は少し冷たかったですが、泳いでいれば慣れました。とってもいい思い出になりました！
ありがとうございます！

Good family activity good picture taking moments!

I was wondering how the pool in Hawaii would be, but it was amazing! In Japan, the waiting time is usually longer, but here I was able to slide multiple times with hardly any wait. I opted for the premium deluxe, but since I didn't want to waste time having lunch and didn't drink enough to justify the free drinks, it might not be necessary. It was great to have priority access.

ハワイでプールってどう？と思っていましたが、最高でした！日本だと、並ぶ時間の方が長いですが、ほぼ並ばずに何度も滑れました。プレミアムデラックスにしましたが、ランチをとる時間が惜しいし、フリードリンクほど飲まないので、必要ないかも。優先で入れるのはとても良かったです。

The trip was great, service, experience and activities were all well worth it.
The boat trip, snorkeling, dinner, drinks and a dolphin sighting for one price was amazing.

Very highly recommended. Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Friendly staff!

I go to Hawaii at least once a year but never knew about the sandbar until a year ago when friends took us out on their fishing boat. It was such a cool experience that this time I decided to book this excursion and it was the best experience ever! The boat they took us out on was big and clean with toilets. They had refreshments, doughnuts and a really good musician that played for us on the way out and back. Once we got to the sandbar, they had floating barge, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling all set up and ready to go in waist deep water all around. It was perfect for my 6 year old. There was a staff member to help us at each station and they were really attentive and helpful. I've been telling everyone that a trip to Oahu is not complete unless they experience this.

As others have mentioned, the boat arrived more than 10 minutes late for check-in. Even with non-English speakers present, there was no effort to speak slowly or accommodate them; all explanations were given in English.

We did get to see sea turtles, but it seemed like there weren't many that day, as we only encountered a couple of them coming up to the surface a few times.

他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。
そして英語圏ではない人が居ても、ゆっくり話すなど気を使うこともなく、全て英語での説明でした。

海亀は会えましたが、その日はあまり居なかったのか海面に上がってくる子に2、3回会えた感じでした。

The tour was amazing!! If I had to say something, it was that my face, shirt, pants, and luggage ended up completely black from the dust! Haha. If you take precautions, it’s not a problem!

As for precautions:
1. Make sure to wear the goggles that come with the helmet properly! Don’t leave any gaps on your forehead. The black ones will target those gaps!
2. I recommend covering the area under the goggles (around the nose and between the eyebrows) with a mask or something! The black ones love gaps!
3. Either wear earplugs and nose plugs while riding, or just accept that you’ll have to wash off the black dirt from your ears, nose, and eyes thoroughly after returning to the hotel... because the black ones are merciless if you show them any gaps.
4. Wear shirts and pants that you don’t mind getting dirty! Since it’s dirt, it will come off with washing, but until you get to the hotel, the parts not covered by the seatbelt will turn black!

I was told that there is only one staff member who speaks Japanese, but surprisingly, there are several staff members who speak simple Japanese and make it enjoyable. It was a really fun place!

ツアーは最高でした！！
強いて言うなら、土煙で顔、シャツ、パンツ、荷物が真っ黒になってしまいました！笑
対策をすれば問題なし！
対策としては、
①ヘルメットに付属しているゴーグルをしっかりつける！おでこにスキマを作らない。黒いやつらはスキマを狙ってくる！
②ゴーグル下(鼻のスキマ、眉間付近も)をマスクなどで覆うことを勧めます！黒いやつらはスキマが大好き！
③走行中耳栓、鼻栓をするか
諦めて、ホテルに帰ってからしっかり耳や鼻、目から出てくる黒い土を洗い流すのか、、、
なぜなら黒いやつらはスキマを見せると容赦ない
④汚れてもいいシャツ、パンツで行くこと！土なので洗濯すれば落ちますが、ホテルまではシートベルトを除く部分は黒になります！

参考に日本語喋れるスタッフは1人しかいないと説明受けましたが、案外簡単な日本語喋ってくれるスタッフが数名いて楽しませてくれます。
とても楽しいとこでした。

I participated in the afternoon, and the weather was cloudy. I rented equipment because I wanted to experience snorkeling. The wind was strong, and I almost got swept outside the buoy, but the staff member quickly came to help and provided support, which was reassuring. While snorkeling, many fish were swimming around the coral reefs, making it feel like an aquarium. After getting cold, I returned to the boat for a light lunch with sandwiches. The staff's live ukulele and guitar performance was very good and added to the fun atmosphere. There were more foreign guests (Mexican, Spanish, and others) than Japanese guests on board, creating a lively ambiance. If the weather had been a bit sunnier and the wind calmer, I might have enjoyed it even more. It might also be good to check the low tide times before going.

午後からの参加で天気は曇り。SAPを体験したくてレンタル。風が強くてブイの外まで流されそうになったが、スタッフのお兄さんがすぐにHELPに来てくれてサポートしてくれるので安心でした。シュノーケリングでは多くの魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいて水族館のよう。体が冷えた後は船内に戻り、サンドイッチで軽くランチ。スタッフのウクレレ&ギターの生演奏がとても上手で、盛り上げてくれました。船内は日本人客より外国人客（ﾒｷｼｶﾝ、ｽﾊﾟﾆｯｼｭ、others）の方が多く、とても賑やかな雰囲気でした。もう少し晴天と風が緩やかであれば、もっと楽しめたかも。あと干潮時を調べていくと良いかも。

Amazing and knowledgeable guide who was pleasant and accommodating. Our guide actually extended our tour and took us to the cat sanctuary and made sure that we all had a great time. I fully enjoyed and recommend this tour. Lanai is very beautiful and I could not imagine seeing it with anyone other than our guide.

I attended with my 7-year-old child. I was prepared for basic English, but thanks to Shoot's consideration, the magic show included some Japanese, allowing both my child and wife to understand and enjoy it very much. It was a type of magic that you don't often see in Japan, and it helped me rediscover its fun! If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

7歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
基本英語を覚悟してましたが、shootさんの心遣いで日本語も交えたマジックショーで子供も奥さんも理解しながら大変楽しく参加させて頂きました。
日本ではなかなか見ないマジックでしたが、改めてその楽しさを再発見させてもらいました！
また機会があれば是非参加させてもらいます。

Scenery was ok, very dusty ride on raptor 4 wheel drive. No warning of dusty conditions. Couldn’t breathe. Food was ok. Not enough toilet facilities

The Kualoa Ranch was the best part of our trip! It is the most perfect place to see beautiful Oahu and such an amazing experience. The tour guides are the best and so informative of the Hawaiian culture and best sources of information. They only added more to such an amazing experience.

Food and service were great! Watching the sunset out on the water was amazing. Easy Uber ride to/from our hotel in Waikiki. Would definitely recommend and do again!
