At first, I was a bit anxious, but the guide was very kind and created a fun atmosphere, making it a truly wonderful experience! I want to do it again!

初めは不安もありましたが、ガイドの方がとても優しく、楽しい雰囲気作りをしてくださり、
とっても素敵な体験ができました！！
またしたいです！！

Beautiful. Lifetime experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

I loved every second of this experience! Breathtaking views, the horses are so sweet, and you get to see a lot of movie landmarks, including but not limited to Godzilla’s footprints, 50 first dates movie spot and a jurassic park gates! The only thing I wish is that you could get closer to some of the jurassic park monuments.

if that’s your main goal, for this, try the four wheelers or the bus. Regardless, my top recommendation would still be the horseback riding!

They provided a horse that suited my physique. The shuttle bus was also very comfortable. The activity guide was very kind. Time flew by.

体格に合わせた馬を用意してくれました．送迎バスも非常に快適でした．アクティビティのガイドも非常に優しかったです．あっという間に時間が過ぎました．

This was my 2nd time visiting Maui and my biggest regret from the 1st trip was not going horseback riding. I would definitely recommend Circle M Ranch. The horses were well behaved and looked well cared for. Our guides made sure we all felt comfortable and were very informative. I've ridden many times but I still appreciated the way they explained everything before we saddled up. They provided some drinks that we were able to keep in our saddlebags. The trail was beautiful going through sections of forest, and gave us plenty of views of the ocean, including whales and that gorgeous coastline! We stopped at a few outlooks where our guide shared the history of the ranch and island, and for some photos. The whole experience was very professional. When we got back to the ranch I was only sad it was over. Thanks for a great experience!

I went in March. I was able to see the small whale's tail and back. Since the boat was not crowded, I could move around freely, and it was comfortable with little rocking, which was great.

3月に行きました。小さい鯨の尾鰭や背中が見れました。船の中では、空いていたこともあり、自由に動き回ることができましたし、揺れも少なく快適で良かったです。

We traveled for about 20 minutes on a large boat while listening to live music from the pier. At this point, I was already feeling deflated due to the strong winds (laughs). We used a banana boat and a tube, and the waves made it quite exciting. When we were on a two-person canoe, we encountered a large sea turtle, which was a very valuable experience.

Please be careful as it is very windy and cold.

桟橋から大型ボートで生演奏を聴きながら20分ほど移動。すでにこの段階で強風にさらされ萎えました（笑）バナナボート＆チューブを利用しましたが、波がそこそこあったこともありエキサイティングでしたし、２人のりカヌーに乗っていた時は大きなウミガメに遭遇し大変貴重な経験をさせてもらいました。
とにかく風が強く寒いので注意してください

Thirty years ago, entry was free and feeding the fish was allowed, so there were many fish at the beach, but it seems the system has changed now. Since it was February in Hawaii, the temperature was low, and it was a tough environment without a wetsuit. The guide was a very kind Japanese couple living there, but there were fewer fish than I had imagined, which was a bit disappointing. However, Hanauma is undoubtedly a wonderful spot that you should definitely visit.

30年前は自由な入場、餌やりOKだったのでビーチに魚がたくさんいましたが、現在はシステムが変更になったようですね。
２月のハワイということもあり気温が低く、スーツが無いと厳しい環境でした。ガイドさんは在住日本人夫婦で大変親切でしたが、想像していたよりも魚は少なく少し残念でした。
ただ、ハナウマは素晴らしいスポットですので是非訪れた方がいい場所には違いありません。

This is a tour where you can race through mountain roads on a four-wheeler. You will drive in a group of five vehicles for two hours. Along the way, the guide (in English) explains scenes from movie shoots, and you will be overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. Since you'll be driving on unpaved roads, be careful as you will get covered in dust, and you will cross a small stream about 3 meters wide around 3 to 4 times, so you might get really wet (laughs). It was the best event for a family trip, and I highly recommend it!

四輪バギーで山道を駆け抜けるツアーです。２時間かけて５台１グループで走行します。
途中にガイドさん（英語）から映画撮影シーンの説明が行われ、壮大な景観にも圧倒されます。未舗装の道を走り回りますので砂埃だらけになりますの注意が必要ですし、幅３Ｍくらいの小川を３～４回程度走破しますので場合によってはめっちゃ濡れます（笑）
家族旅行としては最高なイベントでした、おススメです

the cruise itself was great, we went on a weekday so it was pretty empty in terms of other guests on board

on a side note: i lost my engagement ring and they located it and returned it to me. it was so kind of them and they went above and beyond to help me!

We had done a tour of Waipio decades ago when it was a horse drawn wagon tour. The van tour we did this year was many times better than that one, and our guide was actually a resident of Waipio and gave a lot of insight into the area.

Wife and I attended the Luau on February 29th, which happens to be my wife's Birthday ( yes she is a leap year baby) The Hosts took time out to personally wish here happy Birthday and all attendees sang "happy Birthday to her. One of the Best birthday's she will have.

I was able to experience the beautiful sea and sky of Hawaii. I wasn't expecting much, but the speed of the boat to the site was thrilling, and the view from 150 meters was amazing! I will participate again next time.

ハワイの綺麗な海と空を体感できました。期待をしていませんでしたが現場までのボートのスピードに迫力満点、また150メートルからの景色も最高！
次も参加します。

I can't speak English, but both the receptionist and the person who assisted us were very courteous. They took a lot of photos for us, and I had a great time experiencing parasailing for the first time. I also thought it would be nice to have video recording available.

The boat rocked a bit, so I think those who are prone to motion sickness might need some anti-nausea medication.

英語話せないですが、受付の方も飛ばしてくれた方も対応が丁寧でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、初めてパラセイリングを体験しましたが、とても楽しかったです。
動画撮影もあるとも良いなと思いました。

船は揺れたので酔う方は酔い止め必要かなと思います。

I encountered many whales and even saw a few dolphins, making it a very satisfying tour. When whales or dolphins appear, the staff will guide you on their direction, so I think it's hard to miss them. However, there is only one restroom available, so it's best to take care of that before boarding for peace of mind. Since it's a morning tour, it's also nice that you can schedule activities for the afternoon. (The departure point is near Aloha Tower, so exploring after disembarking is a good idea.)

沢山のクジラと出会えました。また、少しですがイルカも見れて大満足のツアーでした。クジラやイルカが現れた時にはスタッフの方が方角を教えてくれるので、見逃すことも少ないと思います。
ただ、トイレが1箇所しか無いので、乗船前に済ませておいた方が安心です。
午前中のツアーなので、昼からも予定が入れられるのも良いと思います。(発着場所が、アロハタワーの近くですので、下船後に探索するのもいいと思います。)

My first whale watching experience!
I happened to visit Hawaii during the season when whales can be seen, so I thought it was a rare opportunity and joined a tour.
About 20-30 minutes after boarding, we were able to see whales right away! The view is great from the upper deck, but since it's a bit far away, I recommend watching from the lower deck for a closer look. While we couldn't get extremely close, I was very moved to see a whale in person for the first time! The sea breeze was pleasant, and the whole experience of being on the boat was enjoyable.

初のホエールウォッチング！
たまたま鯨を見れる時期にハワイを訪れたので、なかなかない機会だと思いツアーに参加しました。
乗船してから20-30分ぐらいですぐに鯨を見ることができました！上の階だと見晴らしは良いですが、少し距離があるので、下の階でより近くで見るのがおすすめです。かなり近い距離とはいきませんが、生の鯨を初めて見られてとても感動しました！潮風も気持ちよく、乗船自体も楽しかったです。

If you are in Honolulu this is a must do activity. Pickup was smooth in the morning and the bus ride was comfortable. Once you get to the ranch you will be amazed at how beautiful it is. You are away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and in the nature. The highlight of the tour will have to be the UTV ride. You and family get to drive your own and follow the guide through the majestic scenery where Jurassic Park was based of off. The ride will get bumpy and twisty and you will definitely get dirty but this is where all the fun is. Our family enjoyed it very much.

Amazing ATV tour!!! This is the best experience you can have on an ATV!!! The guides are super friendly and make it an awesome experience!!! You have to go if you are on Oahu!!!

I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything since I participated in late March, but shortly after we set sail, a whale appeared! It spouted water and I was able to see its tail as well. However, it was a small whale and it was just a brief moment.

After that, there were a couple of brief appearances of small whales in the first half, but they were really just for an instant. In the second half, we didn't see anything at all, which left a feeling of disappointment.

Still, I’m glad I got to see a whale, even if just once in my life. If you imagine a big whale spouting water or slapping its large tail on the surface of the sea, you might end up feeling like, "Is that all there is?"

3月下旬に参加のため、見られるのか心配していたものの、出航して間もなく、くじらが現れてくれました。潮を吹いて、尾っぽも見ることが出来ました。しかし、小さなクジラで一瞬の出来事でした。
その後、前半に2回くらい小さなクジラが一瞬現れてくれたものの、本当に一瞬でした。後半は全く見られず、尻すぼみ感がありました。
それでも、一生に一度でもクジラを見られて良かったです。
大きな鯨が現れて潮を吹いてくれるとか、大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつけるとか想像を膨らませて参加すると、そんなもんか〜という感想になるかもしれません。

It was a great experience. Staff are very nice and accommodating

This is a tour where you can enjoy both a river cruise and a visit to the Fern Cave. At the Fern Cave, you'll do a bit of walking, which allows you to enjoy a forest bath, and you can fully appreciate the nature of Kailua.

リバークルーズとシダの洞窟観光の1つで2回楽しめるツアーです。シダの洞窟では少し歩くので森林浴にもなり、カイルアの自然を思う存分楽しめました。

I booked this activity for my 8-year-old and myself. The tour took place both in the jeep and we got to get out and explore some areas as well. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and really made the tour more exciting. It was fun to see where certain movies were made in the area and the ranch is very beautiful.

I participated in early March.
I had a great time on a cruise overlooking the coast of Hawaii.
Since you never know where the whales will appear, we only saw them for a moment, but we were able to see a whale's tail and it spouting water. The captain worked hard to adjust the boat's position so we could see the whales.
The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking, but I think it would be reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Also, it was windy and cold on the water, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket. It was chilly in short sleeves.

3月上旬に参加しました。
ハワイの沿岸部を眺めるクルーズで楽しく過ごすことができました。
クジラはどこに出るかわからないので、見えたのは一瞬でしたが、私達はクジラのしっぽと潮吹きしているところを見ることができました。船長ががんばってクジラが見えるように船の位置を調整してくれていました。
船は大きいので、そこまで揺れが強いとは感じませんでしたが、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かなと思います。また、海の上は風が強く寒いので、長袖の上着を持っていくのがおすすめです。半袖だと寒かったです。

We gathered 30 minutes before the start time, boarded the boat when it was time, and headed out to sea in just under 10 minutes. Both the altitude and speed were excellent.

開始時刻30分前に集合、時間になったら船に乗り込み、10分弱で沖へ。高度、スピードともに最高でした。

My experience with the whale watching activity was truly unforgettable. From the moment we boarded the boat, the anticipation and excitement were palpable. The crew was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about marine life, which enhanced the overall experience.

As we ventured into the open waters, the captain skillfully navigated us to prime whale sighting spots. The vastness of the ocean combined with the breathtaking scenery created a serene atmosphere, perfect for observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Witnessing the sheer size and grace of the whales as they surfaced and dove back into the depths left me in awe. It was mesmerizing to see them glide effortlessly through the water, showcasing their majestic beauty.

I visited the sandbar for the first time. Unfortunately, due to the tide conditions, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the guide did a great job of keeping the atmosphere lively, so I had a fun time. When asked if I would want to go again, I can't give an immediate answer (laughs), but I think it's worth experiencing at least once as a travel memory. 😊

初めてサンドバーに行きました。あいにく潮の干満加減でサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、案内のガイドさんが上手に盛り上げてくれたので楽しい時間を過ごせました。また行きたいか？と聞かれると即答はできませんが(笑)旅の思い出としては一度はいいのではないかと思います(^^)

Captain Bruce demonstrated excellent professionalism throughout the activity, ensuring safety protocols were followed and providing clear instructions to participants. I really love it. Captain Bruce’s friendly demeanor and attentiveness to the needs of participants created a welcoming atmosphere, making everyone feel at ease during the activity.

I have been to Hawaii many times, and this was my second time seeing whales, but my eldest daughter had never had the opportunity, so we decided to participate this time. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since I didn't see many last time, but perhaps the location was good, as a mother and her three calves appeared alongside the boat.

ハワイは何度も来ていて私はクジラは2度目でしたが長女は機会がなかったので今回参加する事にしました。前回余り見れなかったので正直期待していませんでしたがポイントが良かったのか3頭の親子が船と並走するように現れてくれました。

We had a blast doing the shark dive! The crew was amazing, very knowledgeable and super helpful. Being able to be so close to the sharks was such a cool experience. Highly recommend!
The boat can be a little bit rocky depending on the weather, recommend bringing snacks to help curb seasickness.

We had a fantastic tour with seven people spanning three generations, from ages six to seventy-two. Despite our different interests and abilities, we immersed ourselves in snorkeling, relaxed on floaties, searched for turtles in the shallow waters, and enjoyed the scenery and snacks on the boat. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied! This was all thanks to the warm consideration of the staff! The bus driver and everyone on the boat were always smiling and friendly, and we truly appreciate it!

Although the restroom and changing facilities were not very convenient, the staff conveyed their love for the ocean by saying, "This is our office," which made us feel a sense of respect for nature and reminded us to be mindful during our visit.

Since we visited in mid-March during a slightly chilly high tide, I would love to come back and see everyone again during a warm low tide period.

6歳から72歳まで3世代7名、それぞれの興味や能力が異なり心配していましたが、シュノーケリングに没頭したり、浮き輪でぼーっとしたり、浅瀬で亀を探したり、船の上で景色とお菓子を堪能したりと、それぞれが大満足のツアーでした。それもこれもスタッフの皆さまの温かい配慮のお陰です！バスの運転手さんも船上の皆さまもずっと笑顔で気さくに話しかけて頂き、本当にありがとうございました！
トイレや着替えは便利ではないですが、スタッフの方が「ここが私たちのオフィス」と海を大切にされてるのが伝わり、自分たちも自然に敬意を持ってお邪魔させて頂こうと身が引き締まりました。
今回は3月中旬の少し肌寒い満潮(？)のタイミングだったので、今度は温かい干潮の時期にまた皆さんに会いに行きたいです。
