On the way to the point on a large boat, there was live ukulele music, and the service of drinks and lunch made it very comfortable. The canoe and SUP experiences were fun, and all the snorkeling equipment was provided, allowing us to enjoy without having to bring anything.

The day I went, the weather was bad with some rain, and it was cold without any sunshine, so there were few people in the water until the very end. However, the ukulele performance on the boat kept us entertained, so I was satisfied with this service. The warm drink service to warm up my chilled body was also a nice touch.

If the weather had been good, I think I could have enjoyed the breathtaking scenery, but that depends on luck. One complaint I have is that the parking lot at the port is not very large. I happened to find a spot, but I think those who came by rental car would have trouble if there were no available spaces.

大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。

天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。

I had a great time.
Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii offers breathtaking views and a variety of activities. You can enjoy the scenery while riding a buggy and take a tour of movie filming locations, all wrapped in the wonderful Aloha spirit.

とても楽しかったです。
ハワイのクアロアランチは絶景が広がり、アクティビティも豊富。バギーに乗りながらの景色や映画ロケ地巡りが楽しめ、アロハスピリットに包まれた素晴らしい体験が待っています。

We had an amazing time with back country adventures. Would do it again and recommend it anyone. More fun than we expected, great guides

The weather was disappointing. The staff was kind, but it was a bit unsettling to be on the bus for nearly 30 minutes without any staff who understood Japanese. Lastly, the request for a $20 tip seems a bit high. With the yen's depreciation, the tour fees are already high, making it tough.

天気がいまいちで残念だった。スタッフは親切だったが送迎に関しては日本語がわかる
スタッフがいなく無言のまま30分近くバスに乗せられたのは少し不安だった。
最後にチップを20ドルの要求は少し高いような気がする。円安でツアー料が高くなっているにので
厳しい。

The waves were high enough for surfing, and the water was murky, so I couldn't see a single fish. It was cold due to the strong wind, making it tough to stay on the beach.

I spent about 13,000 yen on the tour and entrance fee to go snorkeling, so I wish they would allow cancellations or not operate on days with such poor conditions. I was really disappointed.

サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。
ツアー代と入場料で約13000円かけてシュノーケルしに行っているので、海がこんなコンディションの日は催行しないかキャンセルを選択できるようにしてほしいです。本当にガッカリでした。

On full moon days, the difficulty of seeing manta rays increases. It seems that strong lights are used to attract plankton, which in turn draws in the manta rays. However, during a full moon, the plankton disperses, making it harder to gather the manta rays.

Perhaps due to some misfortune, there was a powerful light installed on the ocean floor during the manta diving, and the manta rays were swimming near the bottom. In the light leaking from the ocean floor, I could see the shadows of the manta rays.

Next time, I want to challenge myself during the new moon. I would like to visit the Big Island of Hawaii again, aiming for the new moon period instead of the full moon.

満月の日は、マンタを見る難易度が上がるとのことです。
強いライトでプランクトンを集め、それをエサにマンタが集まるため、満月ではプランクトンが散開してマンタを集める難易度が上がるらしいです。

不運は重なるのか、マンタダイビングで海底に強力なライトが設置されていたこともあり、マンタはずっと海底で泳いでおり、
海底から漏れる光の中に、マンタの影が見えました。

今度は新月にチャレンジしたいです。
ハワイ島は、満月よりも新月の期間を狙って、また行きたいです

Captain and crew made this trip very enjoyable. The ship was top notch and fun to sail on.
Swimming with the turtles was a blast and the sailing around Waikiki afterwards made for a super fun trip. Definitely will be back!

At Kualoa Ranch, you can experience the vast nature and a sense of freedom that you can't feel in Japan. Driving the buggy was not difficult and felt great! However, the explanations were in English, and I couldn't understand anything. Still, I was thrilled by the beautiful scenery and driving the buggy.

クアロアランチの広大な自然を体感でき、日本では感じれない解放感、自然が広がっていました。
バギーの運転も難しくなく、気持ちよかったです！
ただ、説明が英語で、話がまったくわからなかったです。
それでも、キレイな景色とバギーの運転に大興奮でした。

Our tour was more than hoped for!
A very personable and experienced guide made
The time invaluable.

Since all five members of the group, with an average age of 70, were first-timers, we decided to start with three zip lines. Two of the members were afraid of heights (laughs) and hesitated to go to the site, but once we confirmed the safety of the equipment and started on the first line, their fear disappeared. They even had the leisure to take great photos, and we captured wonderful memories of our exhilarating first zip line experience. Next time, we will challenge ourselves with six lines.

平均年齢７０歳の5人組で全員が初体験だったので、今回はまず３本に挑戦。
メンバーの内二人は高所恐怖症(笑)で現地へ行くのにも躊躇していたにもかかわらず、装具の安全性が確認でき１本スタートしたとたんに恐怖心はどこへやら、写真をバッチリ写す余裕もでて皆が爽快に滑り降りる素敵なジップライン初体験の記念写真が取れました。次回は６本に挑戦します。

My husband and I have vacationed in Hawaii for several years but this was one of the best experiences we’ve had! Great experience and we got to drive our own car! Highly recommend!

This experience was the best my husband & I had. Beautiful scenic tour to do if you can as a once in a lifetime to see the natural beauty of the Island. Our tour guides Moana & Ku ulei were awesome. They gave us quite an experience through the dirt roads and small rocky creeks. The few stops we did were excellent to see & hear about. It's not all just about the movies made there, but to hear the history blew my mind. I would definitely do this tour again & if I had more time do some of the others. I give it a 10 in my book of things to plan for an activity.

Dexter was a great guide with tons of information about not only the specific tour items but also the island and people in general. Rainy morning made volcano viewing tough but that’s Mother Nature. The helo tour of volcanos in the afternoon more than made up for things!

I was the only Japanese person on the English tour, but I had a great time.

The roads were well-maintained, so there were no issues, but be careful of the collapsed fence on the cliffside leading to the lighthouse and watch out for falling rocks from above. The guide advised against going there. Since I couldn't see the situation from above, I decided to go partway and planned to turn back if I judged it to be dangerous, but I was relieved that I was able to pass through safely. I think it’s a tour with plenty of time.

I appreciated being dropped off right next to the hotel on the way back. It was a place I would consider visiting again ❤️

英語ツアーで日本人は私だけでしたが、楽しめました。

道も整備されていて問題ないですが、ライトハウスに行く崖側は柵が崩壊しているのと上からの落石には十分注意した方がいいです。
ガイドさんは行かないで欲しいと言っていました。
上からは状況がわからなかったので途中まで行って危険と判断したら戻るつもりで自己責任で行きましたが通れたので良かったとホッとしてます。
時間も十分にあるツアーだと思います。

帰りはホテル横まで送ってもらえて感謝
また行ってもいいと思える場所でした❤️

It was a tour around the viewpoints at Kualoa Ranch. Since it's Hawaii, it's not a tropical rainforest jungle. It felt more like a deep forest. We climbed quite high, so we were able to see some amazing views.

クアロア・ランチ内の、ビューポイントを巡るツアーでした。ハワイですので、熱帯雨林のジャングルではないです。深い森といった感じでした。かなり高い所まで登るので、素晴らしい絶景が見れました。

The service was great. The hosts were so friendly. The drinks were delicious. The scenery was beautiful. I definitely recommend this event.

When it's a bit chilly, it can be quite tough... Even in a tropical climate, if it's cloudy or drizzling, the water feels cold. I had to drink coffee while shivering after getting out of the sea. However, the guides were truly wonderful with their thoughtfulness and care; we received free spam onigiri, apples, drinks, and juice—all complimentary. During snorkeling, there were plenty of sea turtles right in front of us, making for a special experience. I definitely recommend going! The weather is just a matter of luck, so there's nothing you can do about it.

まず肌寒い時は基本そうですがなかなか地獄を見ます…
常夏といえど曇りや小雨気味だと普通に水は冷たく感じます。
海から上がった時震えながらコーヒーを飲みました。
しかしガイドさんは皆さん本当に気遣いや心配りが素晴らしく、無料のスパムおにぎりやりんご、飲み物やお水ジュースなど全て無料で頂けました。
シュノーケリングでは目の前に海亀も沢山いて気軽に特別な体験ができます。
是非行ってみてください。
天候はただの運なので、仕方ないです。

WOW such an amazing experience! The staff was so kind, hospitable, and caring. The live music was amazing. The activities were so fun. Thank you to the team for a beautiful experience!!

I chose a plan without meals, but those who had meals seemed to be enjoying themselves with activities like hula lessons. You can order drinks just before taking your seat, but payment is only accepted by card, and Amex cannot be used, so be careful. The show itself mainly features slightly older songs by artists like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but even if you don't know the songs, I felt it was professional entertainment that could still get the crowd excited. Local singers also participate, performing cover songs as well as their own hits. They even perform songs from Disney's Moana. Perhaps because it was a weekday, only the VIP seats were filled, while the other areas were sparse. I think a bit more creativity is needed to make me want to see it two or three times.

食事なしのプランにしたが、食事のある人はフラのレッスンなどのおもてなしがあって、それなりに楽しそうにしていた。ドリンクは席につく手前で注文できるがカード決済のみで、なおかつAmexが使えないので注意。ショー自体はプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンなど少し古めの曲が中心だが、知らなくてもそれなりに盛り上げてくれるプロフェッショナルのエンタメだと感じた。地元の歌手も参加し、カバー曲に加えて持ち歌も披露してくれる。ディズニーのモアナの曲もやってくれる。平日だったためかVIP席のみが埋まっており、それ以外の店はまばら。2回3回と見たいと思うにはもう少し工夫がいるのではと思った。

The weather was nice, but it was quite windy, which limited our experience time to about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Considering the horses, that couldn't be helped. Upon arrival, I received this information from a Japanese person.

According to the owner, they were willing to provide some refund, and I received a proper refund later on.

One point of dissatisfaction would be the guide after getting on the horse. It was just a tour where we walked with the horses without any explanation. I believe there are notable spots along the way, but there was no conversation, so I had no idea what was where.

They were attentive to safety, so I didn't have any concerns in that regard. The scenery was fantastic since it was sunny. It was too difficult to take photos with one hand (laughs).

For lunch, there is a place that resembles a local diner, but the menu consists mainly of heavy American items like hamburgers, fries, and corn dogs (laughs). Of course, there are snacks and salads, but they are expensive due to the weak yen.

I had bought rice balls in advance, so if you're unsure about your food preferences, I recommend bringing your own.

天気はよかったのですが、かなり風が強く、そのせいで体験時間が１時間２０分ほどしかありませんでした。お馬さんたちのことも考えてそれはしかたないですね。現地に到着するとその旨を、日本人の方から相談を受けました。
オーナー曰く、多少の返金にも対応するとのことで、後日きちんと返金対応いただきました。
１点、不満があるとすれば馬に乗ってからのガイドです。なんの説明もなく、ただ馬とてくてく散歩するツアーでした。
恐らく各名場面があるものだと思いますが、なんの会話もなかったのでどこになにがある場所なのか不明。
安全面はしっかりみてくれていたのでとくにそこの不安はなかったです。
晴れていたので景色が最高でした。片手で写真を撮るのが難しすぎる(笑)
昼食は、現地の食堂のようなところがありますがメニューはハンバーガー・フライドポテト・アメリカンドッグ…などかなりアメリカンな重いものばかりです。(笑)もちろんスナックやサラダもありますが円安で高いので…。
おにぎりを事前に買っていたので、もし食の好みに不安なら持参することをお勧めします。

I listened to the precautions in Japanese and then started driving right away. The three guides were fun and entertaining! The breathtaking views of nature, which are rare in Japan, were impressive.

However, they stopped at various points to provide explanations, but I couldn't understand any English, so that was a bit disappointing. I also think it would be good to watch a movie beforehand (I went in without seeing anything).

I read experiences and prepared with clothes that could get dirty and wore a mask, but I didn't get dirty at all! I did get caught in light rain a few times, and some mud stuck to me, but it was totally manageable after washing my arms in the restroom at the end. So, I think it really depends on the weather that day and the order of the buggies (I was second from the front) and how you drive.

I believe this is an activity that you can't easily experience in Japan. It's a bit far from Waikiki, so it takes about a day, but it was a refreshing experience.

日本語で注意事項を聞いて、早速運転スタートです。ガイドのお兄さん3人はノリが良くて楽しませてくれました！
日本にはなかなかない大自然の絶景に圧巻です。
ただところどころ止まって解説してくれますが、英語が全くわからなかったので、そこだけ残念でした。あと映画も見た方がいいと思います。（何も見ない状態で臨みました）
そして体験談を読み込んで汚れても良い服、マスク着用で臨みましたが全然汚れませんでした！
途中何度か小雨に降られて泥が多少着きましたが、最後にトイレで腕を洗えば全然OKなレベルでした。なので、その日の天候やバギーの並び順（私は前方二番目でした）、運転の仕方でかなり左右されるのかなと思いました。
なかなか日本で味わえないアクティビティだと思います。ワイキキから少し遠いので約一日潰れてしまいますが気持ちがいい体験でした。

During our honeymoon in Hawaii, we made a reservation because we wanted to see a hula dance. The food was served buffet style with a wide variety, and we were very satisfied. The beef, in particular, was delicious. The menu was also written in Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Additionally, we enjoyed listening to live ukulele performances and watching dances while having our meal.

After dinner, the show featured hula dancing, singing, and fire dancing, which was a lot of fun. It became one of our best memories of Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行で訪れたハワイで、フラダンスを見たかったので予約しました。
ご飯はブュッフェスタイルで品数も多く大満足でした。特に牛肉が美味しかったです。メニューに日本語も書いてあり分かりやすかったです。また、生のウクレレ演奏を聴いたり、ダンスを見ながら食事を楽しめました。
食事の後のショーではフラダンスや歌、ファイヤーダンスなどを見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ハワイの最高の思い出になりました！ぜひおすすめします。

It was a buggy experience in vast land that you can’t experience anywhere else in Japan! The scenery was amazing, and I’m really glad I went. The initial overall explanation and the safety video for driving were provided in Japanese as well. Knowing English makes it more enjoyable to hear the guide's explanations during the tour. The price is a bit high, but I think it's a valuable experience that makes you forget about the cost!

日本では絶対に体験できないような広大な土地でのバギー体験でした！景色も最高だし本当に行ってよかったです。
最初の全体説明と運転の安全ビデオ的なものは日本語でも対応してもらえてました。
英語はできた方がツアー中のガイドさんの説明とかが聞けて楽しいです。
少し価格は高いけど、全然気にならなくなるくらい価値のある経験ができると思います！

I participated in this activity because I wanted to see authentic hula.

First, it was buffet time. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was fresh and a refreshing drink with a hint of alcohol. It was easy to drink and delicious.

The buffet was average, nothing special. During the meal, hula dancers came to our table and performed beautiful dances multiple times. It was moving!

Finally, it was time for "Rock-a-Hula." They introduced the history of music in Hawaii in chronological order. It was a fun and vibrant show. Wonderful!

In the second half, we had the much-anticipated Elvis and Michael. The quality met my expectations. It felt like a good job!

The greeting time for commemorative photos was also lovely. I managed to get a two-shot with both of them.

It was a very satisfying time.

本場のフラを観たくて、このアクティビティに参加しました。
まずはブッフェの時間。
ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイはフレッシュで少しアルコールの効いた爽やかドリンクでした。飲みやすくて美味しい。
ブッフェは、可もなく不可もなく。普通かなぁ。
食事中にテーブルの側までフラダンサーが来てくれて、素敵な踊りを何度も披露してくれました。感激〜！
いよいよ、「ロック・ア・フラ」の時間。
ハワイでの音楽の歴史を、年代順に紹介して下さいます。
楽しく華やかなショーです。素晴らしい！
後半は、お待ちかねのエルビスとマイケル。
期待にそぐわぬ完成度。Good Job！って感じ。
記念撮影のグリーティングタイムも素敵。
ちゃっかりと、お二人とのツーショットもゲットしましたよ。
大満足のひと時でした。

I'll keep this short and to the point. It really wasn't what most would consider a Luau. You're in a tiki-like environment in a mall for the meal and then you go to an inside theater for the show. The show is more of a Vegas-like show primarily consisting of an Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonator. The show was honestly pretty good, but just wasn't what was expected at a Luau.

On a good note, the food was decent and the performers were pretty good. If you just want a reasonably priced meal and a show then this is for you. If you're looking for a more traditional Hawaiian Luau then look somewhere else.

After completing the check-in, I was seated at 5:30 PM, and the buffet started at 6:30 PM, so as mentioned in other reviews, the wait felt long. During the waiting time, you can experience traditional Hawaiian dance and music. Once the buffet begins, guests are guided to the food in order by table. There was a lot of food available, so I was able to enjoy my meal leisurely for about an hour. Since the buffet is not located in just one spot, I recommend looking around to gather your food. (It was a bit hard to find the roast beef station.)

Regarding the show, the stage was larger and more visible than I expected. There were rock stars from different generations, and as expected in a place known for entertainment, the audience was engaged and never bored. It was great to see the fire dance as well. At the end, you can take photos with the performers when exiting. I would like to go again if I visit Hawaii.

受付を済まして17時半に着席をしてから、ビュッフェ開始は18時半でしたので
他の方の口コミにもある通り待ち時間は長く感じました。
待ち時間の間はハワイの伝統的なダンスや音楽を体験することができます。
ビッフェが開始されると席ごとに順番に案内されます。
料理はたくさん用意されているので、約1時間弱ゆっくり食事を楽しむことができました。
ビュッフェの食事は1箇所ではないので、周辺を見渡して食事を取ることをおすすめします。
(目当てのローストビーフの場所が分かりづらかった)

ショーに関しては思った以上にステージが大きく見やすかったです。
世代が違うロックスターも登場しましたが、さすがエンターテイメントの本場ということもあり客席は退屈することなく盛り上がっていました。
ファイヤーダンスも見ることができて良かったです。
最後、退場の際は出演者と写真を撮ることもできます。
またハワイに来たら行きたいと思いました。

The whole experience at the center was amazing, but the food at the Gateway Buffet was absolutely faaaaaaaaantastic! What a great way to spend the day in Hawaii, and see so many different aspects of the many Polynesian cultures that are featured at the center. Also, the evening show is a definite must-see for anyone who comes to Oahu!

Fun crew that made it easy for everyone from 5 to 75. Only thing missing was information from the crew on the history and stories about Maui and the islands surrounding it.

I was delayed in going to the Roberts reception because my checked luggage took a long time to come out, but I was able to board without any particular issues.

預け荷物がなかなか出てこないため、ロバーツの受付に行くのが遅くなりましたが、特に問題なく乗車できました。

We rode in one buggy as a family of three, with only one person driving. I thought it might be easy enough to give it a try, but since I'm a paper driver, I decided against it. There are stopping points along the way where you can take photos and switch drivers. The guide decides where these stops are, so it's a bit disappointing when you want to take a picture at a certain spot but have to keep going. However, those not driving can take photos while moving, so that's okay, I guess? If it's a location tour, there seem to be plenty of spots to stop and take pictures.

At one point, for some reason, our buggy got separated, and we ended up distanced from the front and back. We were following the buggy in front, so we had to wait quite a bit. Even though there were guides in front and behind, these things can happen. If we had to wait, I would have preferred to do so at a photo spot.

They provide helmets and goggles. You also receive a scarf (neck warmer?) to wear, which can be used as a mask, so it's fine even if you're wearing contact lenses, and it keeps dust out of your throat. However, when we got out of the car, the front seat had dirt in the shape of the seatbelt, so it seems like we got quite a bit of dust. When we drove through a puddle, the front seat also got a bit splashed. I recommend wearing a T-shirt that you don't mind getting dirty (anything but white).

３人家族で１台のバギーに乗り、運転は１人だけにしました。簡単だから出来そうかな、とも思いましたが、ペーパードライバーなのでやめておきました。途中、止まるポイントがあり、写真撮影したり、運転を交代することができます。止まるポイントはガイドさんが決めているので、あっここで撮影したい！と思っても出来ずに走り去るのはちょっと残念。でも運転者以外は撮影しながら走っていられるので、まぁいいかな？ロケ地ツアーなら止まって撮影するスポットがいっぱいありそうです。
途中、なぜかはぐれてしまったバギーがあったのか、前と後ろで離ればなれになってしまいました。前のバギーについていくので…。前方グループの私たちは、途中でかなり待たされてしまいました。前後にガイドさんがいるにも関わらず、こういった事があるんですね。どうせ待つなら撮影スポットで待ちたかったです。
ヘルメット、ゴーグルを貸してくれます。かぶるタイプのスカーフ（ネックウォーマー？）をプレゼントされ、マスク代わりに使うので、コンタクトレンズでも大丈夫だし、ほこりものどに入ってきません。
でも、車を降りたら前席の人は、シートベルトの形に汚れがついていたので、かなり砂埃あびてるようです。途中、水たまりを走った時も、前席はちょっとかぶっていたようです。汚れてもいいＴシャツ（白以外）をお勧めします。
