I chose this place because I wanted to try something different from horseback riding last time. We rode for about two hours. The scenery was absolutely amazing, and the view of the ocean from the high ground was wonderful. Our guide, Maika, was very kind even though we couldn't speak English well. The horses were also very well-trained, allowing us to enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind. I'm grateful for that. I want to go again. Thank you. Aloha.

前回、乗馬と違う場所でしたくてこちらを選びました。2時間ぐらいかけて乗馬しました。景色がとても最高で高台から見える海も眺めれて素晴らしかったです。
ガイドのマイカは、私達が英語を話せなくても、とても優しかったです。
馬もすごく教育されていて安心して乗馬を楽しむことができました。感謝です。
また行きたいです。ありがとうございます。Aloha

My son wanted to go parasailing, so we participated. Since we were staying at Modern Honolulu, it was great that the meeting place was nearby. We arrived before the scheduled time, checked in, and left right away. We flew in pairs one after another. Our reservation was at 3:30 PM, but we were back by 4 PM; it was over in no time.

息子がパラセーリングがしたいということで参加しました。モダンホノルルに宿泊していたので、集合場所が近くてよかったです。時間前にいくと受付してすぐに出発。順番に2人ずつ飛びます。15時30分からの予約でしたが、16時には戻ってきてあっという間でした。

This is my second time coming to Kualoa Ranch, and last time I participated in the movie location tour. It was also my first time riding a horse, so I was quite nervous. First, when riding, you need to wear long pants and shoes, and your bag should be something that can be secured around your waist like a fanny pack. Also, be aware that the horse may stop to eat grass or take breaks, so it's good to know how to handle that. The horseback riding lasts a full two hours, and you can enjoy the beautiful nature of Kualoa and the stunning ocean along the way, which is just amazing.

クアロアランチに来るのは2回目で、前回は映画ロケ地ツアーに参加しました。乗馬自体も初なのでドキドキでした。まず乗る時には長ズボンと靴、小さめのカバンなどはウェストポーチのように腰に巻きつけられるものでないといけないので注意。また馬が途中で草を食べたり、止まったりすることがあるので対処法を確認。乗馬は2時間たっぷりクアロアの自然や途中綺麗な海を眺めることもできて最高です。

The summit is over 3,000 meters and above the clouds. Beautiful constellations are clearly visible. The ability to access the summit by car is also a major attraction.

山頂は3,000メール超で雲の上です。美しい星座がくっくりと見えます。山頂まで車でアクセスできるのも、大きな魅力てす。

I participated because it said that horseback riding can be experienced from the age of 8. Even children can enjoy horseback riding, and they are very happy. Thank you! A cute dog also welcomes you! ❤️

8歳から乗馬が体験できると言う事で参加しました。子供でも楽しく乗馬が体験できて、大喜びです。ありがとうございましたかわいい犬もお出迎えしてくれますよ❤️

The shuttle bus includes participants from other countries, but they provide simple explanations in Japanese on board. Once we arrive at the location, they will explain the return meeting time and facility details in Japanese, so it's reassuring. After that, we stored our luggage in lockers and moved to each attraction booth individually. We chose the horseback riding course, so we headed there. This time, there were six people on the tour. After learning how to operate the horse through a simple Japanese video, we quickly got on the horses and started. We completely control the horse ourselves, but a guide is next to us, which is very reassuring. I don't think there are many opportunities to ride horses for two hours in Japan, so this is an amazing experience! My wife also said it was the most enjoyable part of our trip to Hawaii.

迎えのバスは他国からの参加者も混載ですが車内では簡単な日本語で説明してくれます。
現地に着くと日本語で帰りの集合時間や施設説明をしてくれるので安心です。
その後、ロッカーへ荷物を預けて各アトラクションのブースへ各自移動します。
我々は乗馬コースをチョイスしてたのでそちらへ。今回は6人のツアーでした。
馬の操作法を簡単な日本語ビデオで学んだら早速乗馬してスタートです。
馬を完全に自分で操るのですが、横にガイドさんがついてくれるので心強いです。
日本では２時間も乗馬する機会は無いと思うので最高に良い経験になります！！
家内も今回のハワイ旅で最も楽しかったと喜んでいました。

We booked this tour for the day before we left for home .
The trip and the wealth of knowledge Brandon imparted was so good we really did wish we had booked it at the very start of our trip so we could take advantage of all the tips and suggestions he made to maximise our experience whilst visiting the island .
Every stop we made added to our fabulous experience of the island . My only wish having now taken the tour was to have the bus stop on the north shore for 15 mins maybe to fully experience the fabulous waves we only saw from the bus window ..
Brandon was a wealth of knowledge and kept the bus engaged at all times .

Neither my spouse nor I speak English, but the staff used a translation app to explain everything to us. Please prepare your passport as identification! A copy is also acceptable. They provide a drop-proof strap that can be fixed to your smartphone or camera.

Other helicopter tours had weight restrictions that prevented us from participating, but this tour has a limit based on the total weight of all participants, so even those who are a bit chubby can join. The 60-minute tour over Oahu offers great views and is thrilling without windows! On the way there, the left side seats have a good view of Honolulu's cityscape, while the right side overlooks the ocean.

We also flew over areas in the mountains where cars can't go, so I'm really glad we participated! The lack of hotel pick-up was a downside, but now with Uber, it's easy to use it for round trips.

I've participated in various activities, and if you're hesitating, I really recommend joining this one; it was fantastic!

夫婦共々英語出来ませんが、スタッフさんは翻訳アプリなど使って説明してくれました。
身分証明書はパスポート用意してね！コピーでもOK。
スマホやカメラに落下防止の本体固定式のストラップ付けてくれます。
他のヘリコプターツアーは体重制限があって参加できませんでしたが、このツアーは参加者全員の体重での制限なので、少々ポッチャリさんでも参加できます。
オアフ島60分のツアーで景色もよく窓なしでスリル満点です！
行きは左側の席がホノルルの街並みが良く見えます。右側は海になります。
車が行けない山の上所も飛ぶので、本当に参加してよかった！

ホテルまでの送迎がないのがネックでしたが、今はUVERもあるので、往復UVER利用すると楽です。

色々アクティビティ参加しましたが、悩んでる方いたら本当に良かったので参加してみて下さい。

You'll drive a buggy for a solid two hours. It was incredibly fun! While driving, there were times I got lost in the scenery, so it's better to stay fully focused on driving, haha. Also, since you'll get a lot of dust from the buggy in front of you, I recommend choosing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

ガッツリ2時間バギー運転します。
最高に楽しかった
運転中、景色に見入ってしまうこともあり運転には全集中したほうがいいです笑
また、前のバギーの砂埃がたくさんかかるので汚れ覚悟で服をチョイスすることをおすすめします。

The horseback riding experience at Kualoa was wonderful. Exploring the beautiful nature on horseback was a perfect opportunity to refresh both body and mind. With the guide's extensive knowledge, I was able to enjoy the scenery from a new perspective while having fun communicating with the horse.

クアロアでの乗馬体験は素晴らしかったです。美しい自然の中を馬に乗って探索することは、心身をリフレッシュさせる絶好の機会でした。ガイドの知識豊富な案内もあり、馬とのコミュニケーションを楽しみながら新たな視点で景色を楽しむことができました。

The ATV tour at North Shore Stables was so much fun. If you like getting off of the beaten path and experiencing a local spot to relax and have fun the make sure to book a tour here. The guides were excellent, friendly and I felt like they appreciated us being there. They gave us a little bit of history about the area we were in and what they are doing with the land. This was unexpected and added a bit of a personal touch to the tour. I thought 45 mins was going to be too short but at the end I realized it was perfect. Enough time to have fun, but not boring or grueling by the time we got back. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who likes to get out and see more of the local scene when in Oahu.

This Tour was fantastic and our tour guide was extremely informative as well as entertaining

Loved this trip! My group and I had the BEST time. Loved the floating platform for hanging out, having some drinks, dancing (we brought our own waterproof speaker).

Some of our group also liked trying the stand up paddleboarding (though noted the area you're allowed to go in is pretty small) and the snorkling.

Would definitely recommend for a big group, such an easy way to get everyone out to the sandbar and enjoy the stunning turquoise waters. We did it as part of our wedding week with guests.

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sunset Snorkel Cruise! The views were beautiful and the crew were so nice! I was nervous about trying to snorkel but the crew was super helpful and I felt safe (life vest and I was able to use a floatie as well) and we saw lots of colorful fish and sea turtles! The cocktail service was great, tasty and generous. Unfortunately during the return portion of the cruise, I felt a bit seasick (did not really affect my enjoyment of the cruise though) so only ate rice for dinner but my husband enjoyed the food which was plentiful. If you are prone to motion sickness (which I am) that would be my only advice, I forgot my accupressure wristbands which do actually work fairly well. I liked that the group was small and we had the freedom to move around and sit and stand where we wanted and all the guests were pleasant and we felt comfortable socializing and getting to talk to other people. I highly recommend this cruise!

Beautful sunset view from the top deck; great food and entertainment. The best part by far was the Jazz Ensemble! At the end, the cast and servers did an amazing ‘hula hula’ version of YMCA. The group loved it.

Loved the tour, it’s well timed as it felt I had enough time in water at both Molokini and turtle town. The crew is very good and they really make sure you are well taken care of.

This is also an excellent opportunity for whale spotting, I did a whale spotting tour as well and this one was better.

The slide is awesome and everything is very family friendly.

This company won’t stop pestering me to leave a review so here goes:
I’ve done a lot of whale watching tours on Maui. I only chose this one because the company we typically use cannot run tours on weekends/holidays anymore (change to use abilities at the Mala boat ramp). This was the only other small group tour I could find.
Pros:
- Small group so you aren’t fighting for space/visibility
- Able to use a GoPro in the water off the side of the boat
- $10 credit per person at the General Store (which wasn’t advertised in activity description)

Cons:
- Whale watching is better from Lahaina and not as good from Ma’alaea
- Boat doesn’t go very fast so you don’t get the opportunity to get as much action
- Staff were less experienced and didn’t have a lot of knowledge about the whales/whale behavior
- Much more expensive than other tours

Fantastic! Would book again next time in Kauai! Pilot was very informative and knowledgeable about the terrain. View and phenomenal and the pictures were beautiful and clear with the doors off.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire family was unable to participate, so it was just my second son and me. However, thanks to our experienced guide, we were able to thoroughly enjoy Hanauma Bay!

急遽、家族全員で参加出来なくなり、次男と2人だけの参加でしたが、ベテランガイドの方のお陰で気持ち良くハナウマ湾を満喫出来ました！

We are so happy that we took this tour! It was one of our favorite days of the vacation. Our tour guide, Omar, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Hawaiian culture and the history of the valley itself. It was beautiful.

Fun,educational tour for the entire family. Thank you Omar for a great trip

The waves were high, so we stayed in the calm waters, but on the contrary, sea turtles came into the calm area, and we had a great time. There is preparation, a briefing, and changing clothes, so swimming lasts about an hour, but it can be quite wobbly. The guides, D who speaks Japanese and C who is Japanese, were very friendly and accommodating.

波が高く内海のみでしたが、逆に内海に海亀が入ってきてくれて、とても楽しめました。準備、講習、着替えがあるので泳ぐのは1時間程度ですが、結構ふらつきます。ガイドさんは日本語の話せるDさんと日本人のCさん2名で、とてもフレンドリーに対応してくれます。

As soon as the car departed, it started to rain. I didn't have a raincoat because it wasn't listed in the items to bring, and I ended up spending nearly two hours completely soaked. The car had no front windshield or side windows, so every time it moved, rain poured down from the ceiling like a waterfall.

Before I knew it, only the instructor was wearing a raincoat while we were drenched. The instructor continued the tour as if it were completely normal, but we were in no condition to enjoy it. Even though it started raining after we left, with that much rain, I think it would have been reasonable to ask, "Shall we turn back?" or to have prepared enough raincoats for all passengers from the start. (Since there were other customers on the tour, we couldn't just say we wanted to turn back.)

Alternatively, since the weather looked suspicious before departure, it would have been nice to have been asked at check-in, "Would you like to buy a raincoat?" The child sitting in the front seat became so cold that they stopped talking halfway through, and I thought they would catch a cold if we stayed on for another 30 minutes. After we returned, I didn't have a change of clothes, so I ended up buying an expensive T-shirt at the shop.

I think I would have enjoyed it if it hadn't rained, but from that point on, I just wished it would end quickly, enduring the rain without even getting off at the spots we stopped at. I truly had a very difficult two hours.

I believe it rains easily in the mountains. Even if it's sunny in Honolulu, it's better to bring a raincoat and a change of clothes. Please include this in the items to bring on the Veltra website. Thank you.

車が出発してすぐ雨が降り出しました。
持ち物の欄になかったのでレインコートを持っておらず、ずぶ濡れの状態で2時間近くを過ごすことになってしまいました。車はフロントガラスも横の窓もない形状だったために、動くたびに天井から滝のような雨が降ってきました。
気づけばインストラクターさんだけがレインコートを着ていて、私たちはずぶ濡れという状態‥。
インストラクターさんは当たり前のように通常通りツアーを進行していきますが、こちらはとてもじゃないけど、それどころじゃありませんでした。
出発した後の雨だったとしても、あれだけの雨なら「一度戻りましょうか？」と聞くとか、レインコートを最初から乗客分も用意してくれるとか、考えてくれても良いと思います。(ツアーは他のお客さんもいたため私たちだけ戻りたいとは言えませんでした)
もしくは出発前から雲行きが怪しかったので、受付の時に「レインコートを買いますか？」と一言欲しかったです。
前の席に座った子供は寒さのあまり途中からグッタリして喋らなくなり、このままあと30分乗っていたら風邪をひいてしまうと思いました。戻った後も着替えを持ってきていなかったので、売店で高いTシャツを買うことになりました。
雨が降らなければ楽しめたと思いますが、途中からはただひたすら早く終わってほしいと願い続け、途中で立ち寄るスポットでも降りることすらせず雨の中耐えました。
本当に本当に辛い2時間を過ごしました。
山の方は雨が降りやすいのだと思います。ホノルルが晴れていても、レインコートと着替えを持参した方が良いです。ベルトラの方でも持ち物に記載してください。お願いします。

Thanks to the other passengers on board who kept pointing out, "It's over there!" I was able to see it several times. The announcements made by the captain when something is spotted are, of course, only in English, so those who don't understand English will have to rely on the reactions of the surrounding passengers. I imagined it would be as luxurious as a show like "Itte Q," but it was surprisingly underwhelming.

一緒に乗船しているお客さんが見つける度にあっちにいるよ！と声をかけてくれたおかげで何度か見ることができました。船長が見つけた時にかけるアナウンスは当たり前に英語のみなので、英語がわからない人は周りのお客さんの反応を頼りにすることになります。イッテQのような豪華な感じを想像していましたが、案外しょぼかったです。

I had some worries about the activities abroad, but the receptionist was kind to international travelers, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

海外のアクティビティーで心配もありましたが、受付のお姉さんが海外の旅行者にも優しく、安心して楽しめました。

My 9-year-old child and husband participated! I was unfortunately unable to join because of my 2-year-old daughter, but my son said that one of the most fun things he experienced this time was flying in the sky. I think it was a very good experience for him. I was worried about the plan until just before, and I made the reservation in the middle of the night on the day of the event, but it was great that I could book smoothly. Also, since we stayed at Hilton, it was convenient to be close to the meeting point!

9歳の子供と夫が参加しました！
2歳の妹がいる為、私は参加できず残念でしたが、息子がこの度で1番楽しかったことの中に、空を飛んだこと。と言っていたのでとても良い経験になったのだと思います。
直前までプランに悩んでいて、当日の夜中に予約しましたが、スムーズに予約できたのも良かったです。
また、ステイ先もヒルトンだったので、集合に近く便利でした！

I am 64 years old. I participated because I wanted to see manta rays. The sunset was beautiful and wonderful. However, diving from the boat took courage. Swimming from there to the manta spot was tough, and I had to be pulled by the staff member. It was difficult to float while holding onto the frame and breathing through the snorkel, so I started to observe from the center of the floating frame, which was enough for me. I wonder if I was the only one who felt exhausted. I hope that the enjoyment of watching (which lasted about 20 to 30 minutes) could be a bit easier from the start. I was lucky that I could lie on the frame, which allowed me to use both hands freely for filming, but it was a bit tough until I settled down.

64歳です。見たかったマンタなので参加しました。
夕陽も美しく素晴らしかったです。でも、船からのダイブは勇気がいりました。そこからマンタスポットまで泳いでの移動もしんどくてスタッフのお兄さんに引っ張ってもらいました。両手で枠につかまりながらシュノーケルで息をしながら浮いて見ているのが辛かったので途中から浮き枠に乗って枠の中央から観察させてもらいましたが、それで十分でした。しんどさを感じたのは私だけなのでしょうか。観る楽しさ(20〜30分だったのでしょうか)も、最初からもう少し楽に楽しめたらいいなと思います。私は枠に腹ばいで乗れたおかげで両手が自由に使えて撮影も余裕でできたのでラッキーでしたが、落ち着くまではちょっとしんどかったです。

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy the experience of encouraging Boe (the horse's name) to graze and giving a little kick to speed up, all while feeling a sense of tension until the end. I was very happy to have this dream-like first experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors in my mid-60s.

1人での参加でしたが、草を喰むBoe(馬の名前)を促すことや腹を蹴っての少しの早足も緊張感と共に最後まで楽しく体験できました。60代半ばで大自然の中を馬に乗って闊歩するという憧れのような初体験ができたことがとても嬉しかったです。

Although it was a very cloudy, overcast day, the staffing crew still made the trip a lot of fun.

We had the best time. Brought our grandkids ages 10 and 12 and they were entertained the entire time. I highly recommend this luau. The food was good much variety. It was a little chilly so bring a sweater. They had activities in the beginning also.
