I was able to enjoy a two-hour horseback ride while taking in the vast and stunning scenery. The horses were well-trained and moved almost on their own. Rather than focusing on riding, it felt more like sitting on a horse and admiring the views. The guide's explanations were in English, so I didn't understand everything, but the landscapes reminded me of movie scenes, and I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" It was a horseback riding-only course, so I had plenty of time to shop and eat during the transfer, which was nice and relaxing. The souvenirs were also cheaper and more interesting than those in Waikiki, which was another plus. I even got to talk with Brian, who appeared in the Hawaii Tourism Authority's introduction to Kualoa Ranch, which made the experience even better.

なんといってもスケールの大きな風景を見ながら、たっぷり2時間乗馬できました。馬もよく調教されていて、ほぼ何もしなくても動いてくれます。その分、乗馬を楽しむというよりも、馬に乗って景色を眺めるという感じ。ガイド説明は英語なので、よくわかりませんでしたが、映画の風景がよみがえり「おー！」と思わず声が出てしまいます。乗馬だけのコースだったので、送迎時間の間に買物、食事もできてゆったりできてよかったです。土産物もワイキキよりも安くて面白いものがあって、こりゃまたよかったです。ハワイ州観光局でクアロア牧場の紹介に出演していたBrianさんともお話しできて、さらによかったです。

First trip to the islands and the Kualoa Ranch was our favorite spot. We suggest the ATV Tour. Our guides were fun and the views were breath taking.

This was my second time, following my first visit in August 2019. There were concerns about high waves due to the remnants of a storm from the previous day, but our Japanese guide, Nino, was very kind and sent us many photos. My wife and I were the only participants, which allowed us to enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace. The only downside was that the snorkeling visibility was worse compared to my last visit due to the storm. However, this is an activity I would like to participate in again if I visit the Big Island.

２０１９/8　に続いて２回目でした。前日の嵐の残りで波の高く不安がありましたが日本語ガイドのニノさんの親切な対応と写真もたくさん送っていただき私と妻の２人のみ参加でゆっくりと楽しむことができました。ただシュノーケリングが前日の嵐で前回に比べ海の透明度が悪くそれだけが残念でした。また、ハワイ島に行けば参加したいアクティビティです。

So much fun . Easy to book and get on the boat. Such a nice staff. Would go again.

I was waiting near the lobby of the designated hotel for the morning gathering, but it seems I was at the wrong location (it was actually next to the lobby, in the parking space on Kaiulani Avenue), so I kept everyone waiting a bit.

On the way to Sandbar, the driver introduced various shops visible from the car window. It seems that malasadas were recommended, and we were able to stop by Leonard's food truck on the way back to purchase some.

Upon arrival, a representative from Captain Bruce's provided a thorough explanation, and there was someone who spoke Japanese as well.

We moved to the boat, and while we were required to take off our shoes, we were allowed to keep our reef shoes on.

The boat had snacks, juice, and warm drinks available, and everyone was free to eat and drink as they pleased.

Everyone started snorkeling at the same time. Since there were many people, those at the front were kicked or bumped into. There is a designated swimming area, but I recommend keeping a good distance from others within that area. The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles several times!

After swimming for a while, I accidentally swallowed a lot of seawater and started to feel a bit unwell. A woman from Captain Bruce's came over to check on me, and I was able to rest on a float, which was a great help. When we returned to the boat, it was really cold. I think it would be good to have a jacket that can get wet and a few larger towels. There are warm drinks available, but you'll want to go to the restroom... By the way, there is one shared restroom on the boat. I didn't use it myself (laughs).

After that, I lightly experienced stand-up paddleboarding, but towards the end, it was so cold that I was huddled on the boat (laughs).

The sea was very beautiful, and snorkeling was fun. The only disappointment was that we couldn't walk on the beach due to high tide.

朝集合の際、指定ホテルのロビー近くで待っていましたが、場所が違ったようで(実際はロビー横、カイウラニアベニューの駐車スペース)少し待たせてしまいました。
サンドバーへ向かう途中、運転手の方が車窓から見える色んなお店を紹介してくれました。マラサダがオススメのようで帰りにレナーズのワゴン車(キッチンカー？)に寄ってくれて購入できました。

到着するとキャプテンブルースの方が一通りの説明をしてくれて、日本語を話せる方もいました。
船に移動し、靴は脱ぐことになっていましたがリーフシューズは履いたままでOKでした。

船にはお菓子やジュース、温かい飲み物が置いてあり、みんな自由に食べたり飲んだりしていました。

シュノーケルから全員スタート。
一斉にスタートしたので人数が多く、始めの方は前の人に蹴られたりひました。泳げるエリアが決まっていますが、その中でもうまく距離を取ることをおすすめします。笑
海がとても綺麗で何度かウミガメを見ることもできました！
しばらく泳いだ後、たくさん海水を飲んでしまい少し気分が悪くなってしまったときに、キャプテンブルースの女性が声をかけてくれ、浮き輪に乗せてもらい休憩することごでき助かりました。
その後船に戻るととにかく寒かったです。持ち物にある濡れてもいい上着、あと大き目のタオルは何枚かあると良いと思いました。温かい飲み物もありますがトイレに行きたくなってしまうので…。
ちなみに船には共有トイレが1つあります。自分は使用しませんでした(笑

その後軽くサップも体験しましたが、最後の方は寒くてずっと船でうずくまっていました(笑)

海はとても綺麗でした。シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
残念だったのは満潮で砂浜を歩けなかったことくらいです。

Arthur gave us an incredible experience. With his knowledge of geology and astrology plus history of island we learned more than we expected. We felt we could not have asked for more in the planetarium and stargazing. The telescope was an exception experience. I will be recommending your company.

I was a bit anxious because there were mostly foreign participants and few Japanese attendees, but it was great that the luau buffet menu had Japanese descriptions. I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. A welcome drink was included, but any additional orders would incur extra charges. The roast beef and pork dishes were carved right in front of us. There were also desserts. Even from the second-floor seating, the show was very visible, but since both the show and buffet prioritize VIPs, I thought it might be worth paying for that. During the show, the Japanese attendees were wearing masks. The impersonations, hula, and fire dance were incredibly powerful and exciting, and I was glad to participate and feel the essence of Hawaii.

ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、ルアウビュッフェメニューは日本語表記があったためよかったです。色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。ウェルカムドリンクも1杯ついていて、それ以降注文する場合は別途お金がかかります。ローストビーフと豚料理は目の前で切り分けてくれました。デザートもあります。二階席でもショーはとてもよく見えましたが、ショーもビュッフェもVIP優先の順番になるため課金してもいいかなと思いました。ショー中は日本人の方はマスクをしていました。ものまねやフラ、ファイヤーダンスなどすごい迫力と盛り上がりで、参加してハワイを感じられてよかったです。

My kid absolutely enjoyed the ride. Place is scenic and guides are patient and courteous. Overall it is a nice experience.

My partner & I went on my birthday and it will always be a day to remember. The crew and staff were brilliant. The music was beautiful and the views just take your breath away. I highly recommend the banana boat and biscuit water rides.

It was great to finally visit Hawaii again, and the Haleakalā sunset tour on Maui was just as wonderful as I had hoped. This time, it was especially enjoyable because my son, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, joined us.

久しぶりのハワイ、マウイ島で楽しみにしていたハレアカラ山頂夕日ツアーはやっぱり良かったです。特に今回は、ハワイが初めての息子も一緒でしたので、特に楽しいツアーになりました。

The adventure is totally worth it! Very well organized, kind and humorous crew, plus expertise, and the sub is safe, clean and comfortable. The size is just right.
Would suggest the sound system be improved, especially for those seating toward the back of the sub- when children’s excitement or conversations of “oooh’s” and “aaah’s” are happening half way from the front, it is hard to hear . Nonetheless, the captain rotates the sub to ensure both port and starboard sides get the same views!
We were treated to a visit of a pack of stirring dolphins! And on our way back, a sight of a whale shark…. Not your everyday adventure.
Lot’s of fish, and a surprise reef viewing await those who want to take this great tour.

Everything was extraordinary . The view & atmosphere was amazing. Service was excellent. People were very friendly. Photos were very beautiful take home memory.

It was a beautiful day spent beneath the amazing green nature & the breathtaking views. Our guide was very nice & friendly. The whole tour was spectacular. We took the reverse road to Hana. So we experienced both ways.

I didn’t expect this to be such an AMAZING experience as I found it to be. We spent a wonderful time. The sunrise was breathtaking. Our guide was supercool. He explained everything around us. He told us amazing stories. Showed us different plants & lava, he let us take pictures with spectacular views. Breakfast was so tasty & service was more than excellent.

It was an amazing experience. Warm welcome. Wonderful place on the beach. The show was extraordinary. The food was tasty & variable. The staff was very nice & helpful. Service was excellent.

We spent a wonderful half day. Saw many fish, corals & one turtle. The crew was helpful & joking with us the whole time. Food was nice & tasty.

My first buggy experience! It was so much fun to race through the magnificent scenery! I was very satisfied with the ample experience time! The staff were also entertaining and kind. The shops and dining areas are compact, so I think you can enjoy a leisurely time in just an hour.

初めてのバギー！壮大な景色の中をバギーで駆け抜ける体験が出来てすごく楽しかったです！
体験時間もたっぷりあって満足でした！
スタッフの方も面白くて親切でした。
お店や食べるところはコンパクトなので、1時間もあればゆっくり過ごせると思いました。

It was a wonderful day that we felt sorry when we were back to our hotels. Our guide was amazing. He was wonderful storyteller. We enjoyed every moment. We saw breathtaking views, ate the tastiest shrimps ever. We also enjoyed the best Dole Whip from plantation center.

The whole thing was wonderful. They were very well organized. Time was perfect. The place & the hiking trail was smooth & everybody was behaving as a family member or friend so I didn’t feel alone at all. The team was very cooperative & friendly & kind.

We spent a very good time there. Our guide, his name is translated as Handsome in English as per his words was Amazing. He told us interesting stories all throughout the way. Also he explained everything in details before our tour.

We spent Amazing time there. Friendly team. Well organized. I liked how they explained everything in details before we start for our safety & knowledge. I surely recommend it. the photos & videos were professionally taken.

I had always wanted to go to the world of Jurassic World, and this was a dream experience!
Driving the buggy was really scary, but it was thrilling and amazing!!
The stunning Kualoa Ranch was very moving!
It was great to feel nature, which is completely different from Waikiki!
All the other participants were Americans on holiday, and many were very friendly; they even celebrated our honeymoon, creating a warm atmosphere!
The explanations were all in English (the initial safety briefing was shown in a separate Japanese video!), so I did my best to listen and was able to understand!

I took photos with the people I got close to, and it was a really fun time!!

大好きなジュラシックワールドの世界に行きたくて念願の体験でした！
バギーの運転はとても怖かったけどスリル満点で最高でした！！
圧巻のクアロアランチ！とても感動しました！
ワイキキとは全然違い自然を感じられてよかったです！
参加者は私たち以外全員ホリデーのアメリカの方でとても気さくな方が多くて、ハネムーンをお祝いしてくれてとてもあったかい空間でした！
説明は全て英語（最初の安全の注意は日本語ビデオを別で見せてもらいました！）なので頑張って聞いてところだから理解できました！

仲良くなった人と写真も撮ってとても楽しい時間になりました！！

Driving through the Kualoa Ranch was amazing! Driving the buggy was easy, similar to driving a golf cart, and I just needed to show my Japanese driver's license. The tour is primarily in English, but they provide a Japanese video beforehand. The guide's instructions were a bit difficult to follow. Since it's a buggy, there was a lot of dust, and I ended up really muddy from my face down to my pants.

実際に自分で運転して駆け抜けるクアロラランチ最高でした！
バギーの運転も日本の運転免許見せるくらいだったのと、ゴルフカートくらいの感覚で簡単でした。
ツアーは基本英語ですが、事前の日本語ビデオ見せてもらえます。ガイドさんの案内はリスニング難しかったです。
バギーなので砂埃が凄いので顔からスボンまで本当に泥だらけになります。

As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.

Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.

I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.

I participated once before the COVID-19 pandemic and had a very valuable experience, so I joined again after about three years! On the day I participated, the wind was strong and the waves were high, which reduced the water's clarity. As a result, when the honu dove, it quickly became hard to see them, and I didn't spot them as often as during my previous visit. However, I was able to see a few honu, and just as I was about to head back to the boat, I spotted a large pod of dolphins in the distance. One of them jumped high like in a dolphin show, and I was so excited! Just when I thought the excitement couldn't get any better, the pod of dolphins started swimming towards us, and in the end, I was able to swim with the dolphins too! It was the best experience to encounter both honu and dolphins!

コロナ禍前に一度参加し、大変貴重な体験ができたため、約3年ぶりに参加させて頂きました！
私が参加した日は風が強く波が高かったため、海の透明度が低く、ホヌが潜ってしまうとすぐに見えなくなってしまい、前回参加した際よりもホヌを見える回数があまり多くありませんでした。しかし、何度かホヌを見ることができたため、船に戻ろうとしたところ、遠くにイルカの大群を見つけ、一匹はイルカショーのように大きくジャンプしてくれて、大興奮していました！大興奮していたのも束の間、だんだんとイルカの大群が私たちの方に泳いできて、最終的にはイルカとも泳ぐことができました‼︎
ホヌもともイルカとも出会えて最高の体験でした‼︎

The pickup was on time, and there were no stops along the way to the destination. However, I had booked a transfer and admission ticket package, but the local list only showed the transfer. Since I had printed the voucher and brought it with me, I was able to show it to the local staff and receive my admission ticket, resolving the issue. I will use this service again.

ピックアップ予定時間通りにピックアップしていただけ、途中、立ち寄りもなく目的地への送迎をしていただけました。
ただ、送迎と入場券のコースを予約していましたが、現地のリストでは送迎のみになっていました。
バウチャーを印刷して持参していたので、それを現地係員に見せて、入場券をもらうことが出来て、問題解決です。
また利用します。

For about an hour, we just went around a muddy path.
The scenery was quite simple.
I would be satisfied if the price were about half...

約一時間、泥んこの道？をグルグル回るだけでした。
単純な風景ばかりでした。
半分くらいの料金なら納得ですが···

I felt a bit seasick on the boat, but it was a fun time. I got to know a Korean couple and we took pictures together. Thank you for the enjoyable time. "Thank you!"

船に若干酔いましたが楽しい時間でした。
韓国人のカップルとも仲良くなり写真の取り合いをしました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございます。
「感謝！」

Even a 5-year-old could fly! At first, he was scared, but the scenery was so beautiful that he said he had fun after flying.
However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication because the boat sways quite a bit and the waiting time is long.

The guide was very friendly and spoke to my son several times, who was feeling nervous. Since the landing is quite intense, if your child isn't okay with getting water on their face, it might be traumatic.

We were supposed to gather at 2:00 PM, but we ended up meeting at 2:30 PM, and we returned around 4:30 PM. Even if you gather early, I think it's fine to be cutting it close since there was quite a bit of waiting time.

5歳の子どもでも飛べました！最初は怖がっていましたが、景色がとてもきれいで、飛んだ後は楽しかったといっていました。
でも、船はかなり揺れるプラス待ち時間が長いために酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。

ガイドさんもとてもフレンドリーで、緊張している息子に何度も話しかけてくれました。
思いっきり着水するので、水が顔に濡れても平気な子でないとトラウマになるかもしれません。

時間は予定時刻よりかなり遅れて2時半集合でしたが、帰ってきたのは4時半ごろでした。はやく集合しても、待ち時間がかなりあったのでギリギリでも大丈夫だと思います。

It was a particularly windy day, and perhaps because it was somewhat cloudy, the water was cold, and everyone was getting in with blue lips. The water was about adult chest height, making it quite difficult for a 5-year-old to move around without assistance. It may not have been suitable for small children. There were other kids present, but they all seemed to be in a bad mood after getting in the water. The babies were crying loudly. Since it was quite cold after entering the water, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved change of clothes.

However, the guides were all friendly and kindly explained things in broken Japanese. I think it would have been enjoyable if the weather had been nice and there hadn't been any wind.

ちょうど風が強い日で、曇り気味だったせいか、水が冷たくてみなさん唇真っ青になりながら水に入っていました。大人の胸くらいまで水深で、5歳児にとっては補助なしでは水の中を移動するのもやっとでした。小さい子ども向けのアクティビティではなかったかもしれません。他にもお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、どの子も入水後は機嫌が悪そうでした。ましてや赤ちゃんなんてギャン泣きしてました。入水後かなり寒かったので長袖の着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
でも、ガイドさんたちはみんなフレンドリーで日本語もカタコトながら親切に説明してくれました。天気が良くて、風さえなければ楽しかったと思います。
