All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

Our family had an amazing time!! Booking was so easy and transportation went smoothly. The Kualoa Ranch staff was friendly and helpful. Our zip lining team was so fun and made the tour a memorable experience for our whole family!

I have been to Hawaii about ten times, but this was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch.
The purpose was the buggies!!!
It was refreshing in the magnificent nature, and the weather was perfect.
It's obvious, but you will get covered in dust, so it's essential to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
A guide accompanied us and led the way, stopping at famous movie locations and explaining them, but it was all in English. However, unlike Waikiki, you can really enjoy the local feel of Hawaii.
Communication was possible, and at the landmark points, they kindly took many photos for us.

As a note and advice, it's fine to arrive right on time for the meeting. Since we went by rental car, we arrived a bit early, but we had to wait until the scheduled time. During that time, we ate burgers at the food court in the shop, but the buns were dry and the patties were hard (sweat).

10回ほどハワイには行っているのですが、初めてクアロア牧場に行きました。
目的はバギー！！！
壮大な大自然の中、爽快でした。天気も最高。
当たり前のことですが、砂ぼこりまみれになりますので、砂ぼこり想定の服装が必須です。
ガイドさんがついてくれ先導してくれ、映画での名所に留まり、その説明をしてくれますが、もろに英語のみです。が、ワイキキとは違い、ハワイのローカル感が満喫でします。
ただ、コミュニケーションはとれ、名所ポイントでは、親切に写真をたくさん撮っていただけました。

注意点、アドバイスとして、集合は時間丁度でいいです。レンタカーで行ったので、少し早めに行きましたが、時間までは待ちです。その間、ショップ内のフードコートで、バーガーを食べましたが、ハサハサバンズにカチカチパテでした（汗）

This was a great tour to see the Kualoa ranch and Jurassic Valley. We started out meeting our two tour guides and safety explanations and videos. The guides were excellent and informative. We were given helmets, googles and neck gators. The Kualoa ranch is just beautiful. Tour stops were at areas that had gorgeous views. Our guides helped take pictures and even had helped with some fun active pictures! Even though there were many tours going on, things were planned so our tour was the only one at the stop. At each stop the tour guides gave some history and/or talked about the movies that happened on the site. I would definitively recommend this tour!!

I was completely mistaken thinking this was an advanced version of go-karting. We drove buggies in a single line, but we were told not to maintain any distance between vehicles, and the leading staff member drove way too fast. There were cliffs without barriers, roads full of large potholes, and visibility was poor due to the dust from the buggy in front of me. I felt my life was in danger several times. I will never do this again.

ゴーカートの上級者版位に考えていたら大間違いでした。 1列になってバギーを運転するのですが、車間距離を取らないように言われるし、先導するスタッフはやたら飛ばすし。柵の無い崖、大きな窪みだらけの道、前のバギーの砂埃で視界不良。何度か命の危険を感じました。もう2度とやりません。

The buffet-style meal featured a menu that was very much in line with Hawaiian cuisine, and I was delighted to be able to try items that I probably wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy during my stay. Additionally, there were whole pineapples and a welcome drink service with Mai Tai, which made it a lot of fun. I also had the rare opportunity to see hula dancing up close during the meal, which was a precious experience. We visited for our honeymoon, and I was thrilled that there was a ukulele performance at each table.

The show after dinner was more authentic and spectacular than I had imagined, and it was truly moving! I had wondered how the combination of hula and rock would work, but it turned out to be a wonderful show where both styles matched beautifully, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. In particular, the performances that traced history evoked a sense of nostalgia and were wonderfully structured to captivate the audience. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

ビュッフェ形式のお食事は、ハワイらしいメニューになっており、意外と滞在中に口にする機会のなさそうなものを頂くことができ、嬉しかったです。また、まるごとのパイナップルや、ウェルカムドリンクでマイタイのサービスなどもあり、とても楽しめました。また、お食事中にフラダンスを間近で見ることができ、貴重な時間でした。新婚旅行で伺いましたが、席ごとにウクレレの演奏もしていただき、嬉しかったです。

お食事後のショーは想像していたよりも本格的で、華やかで感動しました！
フラダンスとロックの組み合わせはどんなだろう？と思っていましたが、両者の良さが見事にマッチした素晴らしいショーになっており、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。特に、歴史を辿るような演出は懐かしさも感じられ、人を惹きつける素晴らしい構成になっているなと思いました。
機会があればまた訪れたいです。

It was a lively and energetic performance by the Frat Show that really pulled you in.

When I arrived before the opening time, there was already a long line, and everyone seemed to be eagerly anticipating the ball party.

The performances by the carefully selected dancers were impressive and made for a truly enjoyable festive moment.

Thank you very much.

ご機嫌のノリとグイグイ引っ張る熱量のフラ・ショーでした。

開場時間前に到着したところ、すでに大行列で、みなさん、お待ちかねのボールパーティーのようでした。

厳選されたダンサーの方々のパフォーマンスは見応え抜群、楽しい祝祭のひとときでした。

ありがとうございました。

We booked Hollywood tour at Kualoa ranch with our 2 little kids and we really enjoyed the experience. We also paid for pick up and drop off to Waikiki, which was really convenient.

The guide on the bus was really good and had lots of good information to share. We also enjoyed his humour.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and will come back again.

The Cultural Center Island tour was full of amazing and helpful hosts and entertainers. I have never felt more welcome by so many people. To temper a few expectations some of the activities we expected to be interactive were instead demos by professionals only but we still had a blast doing the many activities that do allow participation and those alone filled a very full day of exploring the islands.

The Buffet was delicious had more foods than we could fit and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.

The HA Breath of life show was an amazing experience and some of the best fire spinning and hula and so much more you will get to see in Hawaii

Be warned: the gap of time between the closing of the cultural center and the opening for the final show is quite long (they do warn you about his on the bus and offer an early exit at 6pm if you decide before 4pm that you wont have the energy) but with that said it was well worth it and we were glad we stayed for the full show.

We did the advanced ride which allows for trotting and cantering in some spots on the way up the trail for more experienced riders. It was an amazing experience and we were pleasantly surprised with the diversity of the trail and how many times we were allowed to canter for stretches of trail where it's safe to do so. Our guide was on top of everything and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

Had a great time and conversation with our guide. A lovely relaxing paddle up the river filled with big adorable sea turtles. On the way back out, with lights on we got to watch schools of fish swim beneath the boards and I even got to see a baby Hammer head shark swim beneath me.

We had such a great time on this excursion. The bost ride was fun. The music was very entertaining. The crew was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There were so many activities to chose from. We had the best time!!

The entire experience was exceptional. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Would definitely go see it again. A job very well done.

We participated as a family and had a great time. However, there are several photo spots, which are nice at first, but towards the end, it gets a bit tiring. If you don't understand English, you won't grasp the explanations. But you can still enjoy it without paying attention to the English. Make sure to wear clothes that can get dirty! The dust from the car in front gets all over you, and your face will be covered in dust. Your eyebrows might even get completely covered! Occasionally, you pass through small streams, and if you go too fast, you'll get soaked (since there's no front window). I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. I highly recommend participating for those who want to enjoy an active experience!

家族で参加して普通に楽しめました。
ただ所処に撮影スポットがあり、最初は良いですが、最後の方はだるいです。
英語が分からないと説明は分かりません。
英語無視でも楽しめます。
参加には汚れてよい服装で！
前の車の砂埃が全体にかかります。顔が砂埃で黒くなります。眉毛が一本になります。
たまに小川を通ります。勢いよく行くとずぶ濡れです。(前方窓無い為)着替え用意がいいと思います。
アクティブに楽しみたい方は是非参加オススメします。

Unlike the ocean in Waikiki, it was truly clear and beautiful. There were also many tropical fish swimming around, making me feel like I was really in Hawaii. In the end, a few Japanese people and I played volleyball and had a great time. I plan to join this tour again the next time I come to Hawaii! It was fun.

ワイキキの海と違って、本当に透き通るようなきれいさでした。
また、南国のトロピカルな魚もたくさん泳いでいて、ハワイに来たんだなあという感じです。
最後は日本人何人かでバレーボールをやって盛り上がりました。
次、ハワイに来るときもこのツアーは参加しようと思います！楽しかった。

This may have been the only time, but all the participants except for us were from the mainland United States. Therefore, there was almost no support in Japanese, and even for us, who are not too uncomfortable with English, we ended up not understanding much of the content. If we had knowledge of constellations, we might have understood better. However, I thought it was a valuable experience to be able to see Saturn and other planets through the telescope. Also, at the end, they gave us a photo as a gift.

今回だけかもしれませんが、参加者は私たち以外、全員アメリカ本土からの方たちばかりでした。
ですので、日本語でのフォローもほとんどなく、英語にそれほど不自由しない私たちでも内容があまり理解できずに終わりました。
星座の知識があれば理解できたかもしれませんが。
ただ、土星などは望遠鏡で見ることができて、貴重な体験だったと思いました。また、最後に写真をプレゼントしてくれました。

Workers we’re awesome! Only thing I’d wish was we had a little more time in the air but overall super fun and the workers were great with our 5 year old daughter! Everything was easy and smooth. Thanks!

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great

I was unsure which course to choose, but I decided on this one based on everyone's reviews. I had a great time all day, and I think it was good that meals were included. I was worried about the bad weather, but I was able to see the second performance on the boat, and especially the staff on the boat made it a lot of fun, so it became a wonderful memory.

どのコースにしようか迷ったのですが、みなさんの感想を参考にしてこちらのコースにしました。
一日中楽しめましたし、食事も付いてたしよかったと思います。
あいにくの空模様で心配してたのですが、船の上で二次も見ることができ、特に船のスタッフの方がいろいろ楽しませてくれたのでとてもいい思い出になりました。

Seeing manta rays is an incredible experience, but you need to be prepared for some cold and have a good level of stamina. While you're in the water, it's fine, but returning to the shore afterward can be chilly. There are some techniques to snorkeling while in the water. If you grip the buoy line too tightly, it can take a lot of energy. My wife had a tough time because she ended up drinking seawater.

マンタを見た時は感動ですが、ある程度の寒さと体力は必要です。水に浸かっている時はいいですが、上がってからの帰港は寒いです。水に浸かりながらのシュノーケリングにはコツがいります。浮きのロープに掴まるのに変な力が入ると体力が要ります。私の妻は海水は飲むはで大変でした。

I had a wonderful experience. The weather was great, and I could see Diamond Head clearly, which felt very nice. Thank you very much.

素敵な体験ができました。
天候もよく、ダイアモンドヘッドが良く見えてとても気持ちよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

Overall, we enjoyed the trip. Staff was great! However, the snorkel spot was crowded with lots of other groups. It felt like you were bumping into people the whole time. We saw some turtles, but there wasn't much else to see. Also, the parking instructions are unclear. All it said was they validate in the garage, so I parked in the obvious giant garage. But they don't validate in that one (the Hale Koa). They only validate in the Hilton Garage which is harder to find. I hope they aren't unclear on purpose...that cost an extra $39!

The Kualoa ranch is expansive and offers beautiful vistas of the Hawaiian landscapre - moutains, valleys, forests, and ocean views. The drive/pathway chosen to drive thru the 4000 acres is fast. I recall 3-4 stops - and always felt kind of rushed to jump out'the vehicle - look around - and then get back on the road as other UTV, bus, and bike tours were stopping at the same places. So, 1) it was hard to look around at the views while driving - typically between 15-18 mph - which sounds slow - but you're in a line of vehicles - someone drving in front of you - someone behind. Attention must be on the driving at all times while driving. Vehicle behind us was 'rushing' on our bumper - some kid in the car shouting at us to 'drive faster' rudely. Ummm - when you have to be attendant to what's driving in front of you (the guide in a vehicle) - sometimes, kiddo, that is not possible. And yes, his parents were with him - and yes, the father was driving - fully aware of the rudeness - that's all I say. Stopped to look at some of the remnants of scenery left by movies shot on location there. Photo ops were hard to grab when so many people and other groups were vying for the best views and angles. The guides were o.k. - a little flippant and joking around with each other a bit much. One of the guides 'treating' us to some local Hawaiian lore about the land and lizards - which did not make any sense to us and just seemed kind of out of left field and a little odd. It was worth seeing the land but - if you're driving, you'll miss out on a lot - until the brief stops.

In the first week of January, the sea was calm, and I was able to join the tour without getting seasick. The boat was also large. We got really close to the whales at the viewing point, and we could see them well. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they brought them to us when we ordered, but we could also go to the counter to get them. The service was good as well. Since you can get sunburned, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential.

1月の1週目、海は穏やかで船酔いすなことなくツアーに参加できました。船も大きかった。ポイントについてすぐ近くまでクジラがきて良く見えました。ドリンクも飲み放題でオーダーすると持ってきてくれましたし、カウンターに取りに行くこともできました。サービスも良かったです。日焼けするので日焼け止め、帽子サングラスは必須です。

It was my first time seeing a pineapple plant. It was a fun tour where I got to see cute baby pineapples and even do some tastings. On the way back, we each received a pineapple as a souvenir. It was very sweet and juicy. I might have seen a yellow pineapple for the first time!

初めて見るパイナップルプラント。可愛いベビーパイナップルが見れたら、試食もでき楽しいツアーでした。帰りに1人1つのパイナップルをお土産にもらいました。とても甘くてジューシー。黄色いパイナップルを初めてみたかも！

The crew was very happy, helpful, and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone had what they needed and included in the activities.

Wonderful Luau show and food. The venue was beautiful and protected from any weather that might occur.

This activity is my favorite activity on Oahu. You start the paddle as the sun is setting, and end when it's dark. You are guided by LED lights on the bottom of the board, that illuminate the ocean below you. Making it visible to see so much sea life. On this paddle I have seen MANY turtles, manta rays, fish, jellyfish, and even small reef sharks (not to worry they are small and harmless).

This is truly a one of a kind experience that is so much fun! The guides are extremely knowledgeable of the area, and not to mention very personable. You can tell they love their job! They make sure everyone is comfortable and safe, which makes this tour so enjoyable.

No paddle board experience? No need, the guides will instruct you along the way, and make sure you don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do. I would recommend this paddle to any one who likes an adventure, or anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone.

Overall it was a great experience! We had two guides, first for the kayak then another guide joined us once we were done kayaking. Both guides were easy to talk with, funny, and knew the land's history and the foliage. The fun stops with jumping into pools of water. The ziplines were a blast! The final plunge into another pool of water was awesome! The lunch was yummy. The company accommodated our request with a gluten-free bread and treat! I would highly recommend the trip!

I always use HIS, so the counter was a bit hard to find, and I had to ask someone from another company to figure it out. The boarding area was also a little far away and somewhat confusing, but at this price, it's totally okay. I've memorized it, so I will use it again.

いつもHISを利用していているので、少しカウンターがわかりづらく他社の人に聞いて判明。乗り場も少し離れた所でちょっと分かりずらかったのですが、このお値段なら全然オッケー。覚えたのでまた使わせていただきます。
