Hawaii
The difference from the past is that there are many participants and various ways to enjoy it (in the past, it was only snorkeling), so people of all ages can have fun. However, on this day, we were affected by half rain and cold.
昔との違いは、多くの参加者、いろいろな楽しみ方(昔はシュノーケリングのみ)があるので、年齢層に関係なく楽しめます。ただこの日は半分移行雨と寒さにやられました。
I thought it was necessary to check the temperature in advance, not just the weather forecast.
天気予報だけでなく、気温の事前確認が必要かと思いました。

This is my fourth visit, but I brought my family for the first time. Everyone was excited and voiced their joy while enjoying the beautiful scenery during the drive. We had a great time exploring the magnificent views and filming locations. However, all the guidance after departure is in English.
私は4回目の訪問ですが、初めての家族を連れて行きました。運転しながらい凛な景色を見て全員が声を出して喜んでいました。壮大な景色やロケ地を見て回りとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ただ出発後は案内はすべて英語です。
The first place you go has cow dung scattered around. Please watch your step.

It was the day when Kana and Takako were on board, so they kindly explained the precautions for snorkeling, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. The boat also had a slide, and sliding down into the sea was exhilarating! After swimming, the Mai Tai made at the open bar was the best for my dry throat. The only disappointment was that I didn't get to encounter a turtle.
カナさんとタカコさんが乗船されている日だったので、シュノーケリング時の注意点などを丁寧に説明いただき、安心して楽しむことができました。船にスライダーもあり、海へと滑り落ちるのは爽快です!泳いだ後のカラカラの喉に、オープンバーで作ってもらえるマイタイは最高でした。唯一、カメに出会えなかったことだけが残念でした。
After swimming, your body can get cold from the wind of the passing boat, so don't forget to bring a towel and a change of clothes.
泳いだ後、走行する船の風で体が冷えるので、タオルや着替えは忘れずに。
I wasn't very knowledgeable about the war, but they provided detailed information about that time. It was great that a Japanese person was the tour guide.
あまり戦争に詳しくなかったけど細かく当時のことを教えてくれました。
日本人の方がツアーガイドをしてくてたので良かったです。
Please make sure to take a tour guide for your visit.
ぜひツアーガイドをつけて見学してみてください
It wasn't too long, and I was able to see it from a very close seat, so it felt like it went by in a flash. The performers used their well-trained bodies, and their performances were amazing, often leaving me breathless. Additionally, the scene where they drew pictures in the sand was captivating and entertaining. I didn't feel much of a storyline, but the frequent transitions kept the production engaging. It was refreshing to see the audience being involved in the performance. This might be a new form of entertainment.
長すぎもなく、とても近い席で見れたのであっというまでした。鍛え抜かれた身体を使い、演技者のパフォーマンスが素晴らしく,息を呑む事もしばしばでした。また、砂の絵を描くシーンでは、面白くて見入ってしまいました。ストーリー性はあまり感じなかったのですが、切り替えが多くて飽きない演出でした。会場のお客さんを取り込み、パフォーマンスをさせたのは新鮮な印象でした。新しいエンターティメントかもしれないですね。
The opening was an hour before, but you don't need to arrive that early. I think 30 minutes before is sufficient.
開場は1時間前からでしたが,それほど早く行かなくても大丈夫です。30分前なら余裕だと思います。
I had a lot of fun.
I think it's better to wear clothes that can get dirty.
If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try horseback riding as well.
とても楽しかったです
汚れても大丈夫な服装で行った方がいいと思います
次に行く機会があれば乗馬体験もしてみたいです
None in particular.
特に無し
A pleasant and joyful experience. The Hawaiian entertainment was great. Excellent tour for families.
Be sure to wear athletic shoes as the path to the Fern Grotto can be wet and slippery
I received detailed information about various characteristics of different places! Even during the travel, I was provided with trivia and guidance, which made the travel time enjoyable and not boring!
各地様々な特徴など細かく教えて頂きました!
移動中も豆知識など案内頂き移動時間も飽きずに過ごせました!

Everyone in our party had a great time. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour.
I participated with my daughter, who said she wanted to fly in the sky. I thought she might be a little scared, but she was flying higher than the birds and was having an amazing time! The staff were very kind to the children, which helped ease their nerves. She said she wants to fly again, so I hope we can experience it once more. Thank you very much!
空を飛びたいと言ってた娘と参加。実際は少し怖がるかと思っていましたが、鳥よりも高い所を飛んでいて、すごーい!最高と楽しんでいました。スタッフの方も子どもに良くしていただいて、緊張がほぐれたと思います。また空飛びたいと言っていたので、また体験できたらと思っています。ありがとうございました。
It's easy to get motion sickness while on the boat and during parasailing, so it's best to look at something far away as much as possible.
船の上もですが、パラセーリング中も酔いやすいので、なるべく遠くを見ている方がいいです。
I have been going to Hawaii for many years and was aware of Kualoa Ranch, but I had avoided this attraction because I wasn't very interested in the Jurassic Park movies. However, after participating for the first time, I was greatly impressed by the scale and structure of the attraction. This time, I joined three tours: the Jungle, Movie, and Kualoa Farm tours, and I would like to participate in the remaining tours in the future if given the opportunity. Also, the staff members were really kind, and I’m very glad I participated in this tour.
ハワイに長年行っており、クアロア・ランチのことは知っていましたが、ジュラシックパークの映画にあまり興味がないので、このアトラクションを敬遠していました。しかし、初めて参加して、スケールの壮大さやアトラクションの構成に大変感動しました。今回は、ジャングル、ムービーとクアロア農園の3件のツアーに参加しましたが、機会があれば残りのツアーにも今後参加したいと思います。あと、スタッフの方々も本当に親切で、今回のツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
You can enjoy it even if you're not interested in the Jurassic Park movies.
ジュラシックパークの映画に興味がなくても十分に楽しめます。
Easy to schedule, purchase, and board. Flexibility in times to allow us time to explore the Lanai Island
Great time for the whole family. I have two young child who were able to snorkel and kayak.
Aloha Fun for family,
Thank you for your 5star review. We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed our tour.
We hope to see you all again soon.

Jason lead a great trip. Fun info about Hawaii. And great connection with the group. He made the entire adventure fun with many laughs and a exciting ride in the tubes
The boat was beautiful. The workers were attentive, kind, and the caption was experienced and did a great job. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was the prayer they did and it was not short. They asked us to give an offering a leaf (they gave us) from a plant to put in the ocean. I do not practice polytheistic religion and did not want to partake it this. It’s a snorkeling tour I found it to be an over reach.
Great experience. Crew was awesome and very friendly. Very good picnic cooked up by the captain. Unfortunately there were showers and lightning around, but still had the opportunity to walk the sandbar. Will definitely go again and get the snorkeling in the next time. Worth the price including the transportation from Waikiki area.
Highly recommend!
Came out to Hawaii for vacation & of course the weather is u predictable . Just so happens the day we plan on going it was high of 73 super windy and raining . They told us there was inside seating on the boat that we can not reschedule or get a refund . I’m sorry I’m not sitting on a boat for 4 hrs inside . So we ended up loosing 500$ rude people do not do it !!
Aloha.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the weather impacted your experience. While Hawaii's conditions can be unpredictable, the tour operated safely with covered seating available onboard. As a result, we were unable to offer a refund or reschedule.
We truly regret that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Everything was perfect and beautiful, and I was moved. It was about an hour and a half that went by in the blink of an eye! I was in the front row of the back seats, but I was happy when the cast waved at me as they passed by in the aisle right in front of me.
なにもかも完璧で美しく、感動しました。
あっという間の約1時間半でした!
後方席の最前列でしたが、目の前の通路をキャストが通られる際に、手を振ってくれたりして嬉しかったです。
The whole experience was extremely memorable, from the minute we arrived. Our tour guide, Derrian, was absolutely amazing. Even though it was just my daughter and I on this experience, she provided a lot of history of the ranch, took us to the top where we got to see some amazing views, and gave us the opportunity to gallop with our horses (never done that before). Overall, I would recommend this adventure to all my friends and family that travel to the Big Island. Not only do you get to experience horseback riding, but you also get great service, which is worth the money.
It was truly amazing. A valuable experience. Especially the wonderful female guide who showed us around and even took photos for us. It became the best memory of this trip to Hawaii!
ほんとに最高でした。
貴重な体験。
特に素敵な女性ガイドさんが、色々と案内してくれて、さらに写真も撮って頂ける。
今回のハワイで一番の思い出となりました!
I chose "Rock-a-Hula" because I wanted to experience a Hawaiian show, referencing many reviews from others.
We toasted with a Mai Tai welcome drink during the time from check-in to dinner. A local lady played the ukulele and came to our table to chat with us in broken Japanese. The buffet dinner was organized by table, so the last person in line had to wait a bit.
The pineapple displayed on the table was cut to be eaten from the inside, serving as a bowl. I realized it was meant to be shared with the people at the table, but I couldn't eat it right away.
As we enjoyed our meal, the hula lesson got everyone excited, and then we were informed about dessert. The dessert line was free-flowing, so when I finally chose my dessert and sat down, it was already time to move to the theater, and I couldn't even finish half of it. What a shame.
The show I had been looking forward to was lively, with many enthusiastic participants, which made the whole venue come alive. The performers even came down from the stage to interact with us. The visuals were enjoyable as well.
It's definitely worth experiencing at least once!
多くの方の口コミを参考に、一度はハワイアンショーを観たくて「ロック・ア・フラ」を選びました。
受付から食事までの間にウエルカムドリンクのマイタイで乾杯。ウクレレ演奏のローカルマダムがテーブルに来て片言の日本語でお話してくれました。食事のビュッフェは席の列で案内なので、最後の人は少し待ち時間があります。
テーブルにディスプレイの様に置かれているパイナップルは、器として中に食べる用にカットされてました。テーブルの人達とシェアだったの気づいてもなかなか食べれなかった。
食事も進み、フラレッスンをしてくれ会場全体が盛り上がった後に、デザートの案内があります。
デザートの列は自由なので私はやっと選んで席に着いたら、シアター移動時間になっていて半分も食べれなかった。残念です。
楽しみしていたショーはノリノリの方のが多かったので、会場全体が盛り上がるし、ステージから下りてきて演者の方と触れ合えます。映像も楽しめました。
一回は体験すると良いですよ。
If you love fruits and desserts, I recommend acting quickly. Coffee and tea are also available.
フルーツ、デザート好きのかたは早めの行動をオススメします。コーヒー&紅茶も。
この度は私共のロックアフラにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。そして初めてのハワイアンショーとしてロックアフラを選んで頂き嬉しく思っています。ルアウブッフェでの果物とデザートがゆっくり召し上がられなかったことが残念でしたが、エンターテインメントは満足して頂いたこと、スタッフ一同光栄に思っています。沢山のお写真も有難うございました。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
The original reservation date was unfortunately canceled due to bad weather, but they offered a chance for a revenge opportunity the next day with a sunny forecast. After taking the time to enjoy the setting sun, we were enveloped in pitch darkness, revealing a sky full of stars. We were even able to see the beautiful Southern Cross. It was an experience unique to being with Yamapi, who has many years of experience. I'm really glad I participated!
当初の予約日はあいにくの天気で休止になってしまったのですが、晴れ予報の翌日にリベンジの機会を提案してくれました。
暮れる夕日をじっくり眺めた後、漆黒の闇に包まれると満天の星空がそこにはありました。美しい南十字星も見られました。
長年の経験を持つヤマピーさんのもとだからこその体験でした。本当に参加して良かったです!
You can borrow jackets and blankets for warmth, but it's colder than expected, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring hand warmers or similar items!
防寒用のジャケットやブランケットを貸してもらえますが、想像以上に寒いので、寒がりの人はホッカイロ等の持参をおすすめします!
First, I got out of the water after about 40 minutes due to bad weather. My body was completely cold, and the only drinks available were cold ones. I really wished there had been at least some hot coffee. Also, it was quite a bit of water (about waist-high), which is also a matter of luck. Well, I won't be coming back.
まず、悪天候で40分ぐらいで海から上がった。身体も冷えきっていて、ドリンクも冷たいものしかなくて、せめてホットコーヒーでもあればなぁと思った。
あと、これも運しだいになるが、結構水位があった(腰ぐらい)
まぁリピートは無いです。
Aloha おじさん様
この度はKBOSのサンドバーツアーにご参加いただき、また貴重なご意見をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。
当日は悪天候のため、十分にお楽しみいただけなかったこと、またお身体が冷えてしまったことを心より残念に思っております。
お飲み物につきましても、温かいお飲み物がご用意できていなかった点は今後のサービス改善の参考とさせていただきます。
また、サンドバーの水位は潮の満ち引きによって日々変化するため、当日は腰ほどの深さとなっておりました。自然条件によるものではございますが、ご期待に沿えず残念なお気持ちにさせてしまい申し訳ございません。
いただいたご意見を真摯に受け止め、今後より良い体験をご提供できるよう努めてまいります。ありがとうございました。
Mahalo,

The food was very good. And variety was excellent. The show was GREAT! I would definitely recommend it. Had a great time. Elvis and Michael were great.
This time, the weather was unfortunately rainy, and the boat arrived at Molokini Island while rocking quite a bit. As we got closer to the end of the trip, the weather improved, so that was nice.
I was very moved to see Molokini Island up close, but as a snorkeling spot, there were hardly any fish, which was a bit disappointing (most were just black fish, haha).
Also, since we were the only Japanese couple, we had booked a "Japanese-speaking guided tour for beginners," but as stated, there was no guarantee of a Japanese guide! There were no Japanese staff members. It wasn't a major issue, but I think it would be reassuring to receive a written note with simple precautions and explanations if there are no Japanese staff available. However, the staff members were friendly and very nice.
今回、お天気が生憎の大雨で、かなり船が揺れながらモロキニ島に到着。
終わりに近づくにつれお天気も回復して来たので、良かったです。
モロキニ島を近くで見れて、とても感動しましたが、シュノーケルの場所としては、殆ど魚は居なかったので、少し期待外れ。(殆どが黒い魚笑)
後、日本人は私たち夫婦だけだった為か、「初心者でも安心の日本語ガイドツアー」と有り予約しましたが、
日本人は確約ではありません!の通り、
日本人スタッフは居ませんでした。
大きく困ることは有りませんでしたが、もし、日本人スタッフがいない場合は、簡単な注意点や説明を書面などでもらえると、尚、安心出来ると思います。
ただ、スタッフの方はフレンドリーでとても良かったです。
As others have mentioned, you should rent a wetsuit (short-sleeve type for the upper body, $10). I think it will be cold on the return boat if you're wet. It's best to arrive at the meeting place abou
他の方も書かれていましたが、ウェットスーツ(上半身のみ半袖タイプ$10)は借りるべきです。帰りの船は濡れたままだと寒いと思います。
集合場所に30分前位には到着して、駐車場の支払いをしておくのが無難。
I was expecting something like a glass-bottom boat, but it turned out to be more like a submarine than I thought. The underwater experience is exciting and piques your intellectual curiosity. There weren't any turtles underwater, but there were plenty on the surface. Dive in, why don't you?
That said, it was an interesting experience. I won't spoil anything, so it's something to enjoy after you experience it yourself!
グラスボートに毛が生えたようなものを想定していたら、思った以上に潜水艦でした。
水中体験はワクワクしますし、知的好奇心をくすぐります。
亀は水中にはいませんでしたが、水上にたくさんいました。潜りやがれよ。
とはいえ、面白い体験でした。
ネタバレはしないので、体験してからのお楽しみですかね?
It's an interesting experience as long as it doesn't rain or the sea doesn't get rough. Luck plays a significant role, but with normal luck, you can enjoy sunny weather and see sea turtles.
雨が降ったり、海が荒れたりしなければ面白い体験です。
運の要素は強いですが普通の運なら晴れてウミガメ見れます。
On the day of the tour, we traveled by tour bus from a hotel around Waikiki (the travel time was about 40 to 50 minutes). There was a Japanese staff member on site, which helped a lot, but I think I wouldn't have understood the important information without them. (If you can speak English, you'll be fine, but they spoke so natively that I couldn't catch everything, haha.) Once we arrived, we switched to a boat for another 20 to 30 minutes. At first, we played in shallow waters using stand-up paddleboards and floaties, and then we experienced snorkeling. It was very pleasant, and we got to see fish and sea turtles, which made me very satisfied.
当日はワイキキ周辺のホテルからツアーバスで移動しました。(移動時間は40〜50分程度)
現地には日本人?のスタッフが居たのでなんとかなりましたが、
その方が居なかったら注意事項などは理解できてなかったと思います。
(英語ができる方は大丈夫ですが、ネイティブすぎて何言っているか分かりませんでした笑)
現地に着いたら船に乗り換えて20〜30分移動します。
最初は浅瀬でサップや浮き輪を使って遊び、その後シュノーケリングを体験しました。
とても気持ちよく、魚やウミガメも見れて大満足です。
It's very cold after coming out of the sea, so don't forget your towel and jacket!
海から上がった後はとても寒いので、タオルや上着は忘れずに!
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。SUP、シュノーケルと楽しんで頂けたとお聞きし大変嬉しく思います。
ツアーには必ず日本語のスタッフがおります。またぜひウミガメたちに会いにお越しください。A hui hou!
The 2-hour horseback riding experience flew by. The instructions were given with care, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was able to fully immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park.
2時間の乗馬あっという間でした。丁寧に説明していただき、安心して楽しめました。ジュラシックパークの世界観を大満喫できます
The seat was in Category 1, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Since it was a seat in the front row, I could see the performers' expressions, which added a lot of impact. There were also interactive elements that engaged the audience, making it very exciting!
座席はカテゴリー1席でしたが十分楽しめました。
前の方の席でしたので、演者の表情なども見ることができ、とても迫力がありました。
観客を巻き込んでの演出もあり、とても盛り上がりました!
As others have mentioned, the venue was quite cold due to the air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a jacket.
他の方が言うように、会場は冷房が効いていて若干寒かったので、上着の持参をおすすめします。
It was my 1st time snorkeling and was panicking with how to breathe underwater so I was going to give up but Captain Robin went above and beyond with guiding me the entire session making sure that I was safe and comfortable. It was truly an amazing experience seeing the turtles and fishes. Most importantly, I didn’t want to disappoint my daughter if I’ve given up and let her snorkel alone.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad Captain Robin helped make your first snorkeling experience a success. It’s wonderful that you got to share this special adventure with your daughter. Hope to see you again soon!
