One important thing to note when you arrive at Hilo Airport is to head to the Bus Loading Zone pickup area at the end of the Baggage Claim Terminal. Walk outside of the Baggage Claim area on the first floor, turn right, and proceed toward the restrooms at the west end of the terminal, where a Polynesian Adventure vehicle will pick you up.
Our tour guide, Dexter, was incredibly knowledgeable, as he was born and raised on the Big Island. He was a wonderful gentleman, showing great respect, kindness, and compassion for everyone. A lunch was provided, which included a turkey wrap, kettle-cooked chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a refillable metal water container. We also made a stop at Big Island Candies for some sweet treats. While we didn't need to wear pants or jackets, wearing hiking boots for ankle support is highly recommended due to the rough and slippery terrain.
Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot, David (nicknamed "Chewy"), was also very knowledgeable. He videotaped our entire flight upon request, and we even had our photo taken, which was uploaded onto the USB thumb drive. Remember to bring your photo ID. You will also need to view a safety video.
Overall, it was an excellent experience and well worth the money.

Our 30th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. Since my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, wanted to have a Hawaiian experience, we chose this place where we could enjoy both hula and rock music.
A beautiful hula dancer placed a fresh flower lei around my neck, and we took a photo with Elvis Presley! I was already in high spirits.
Once we were seated, we started with a Mai Tai drink and piled our plates high at the buffet. The dessert was also delicious.
In between, there were hula dances and hula lessons.
After the meal, we moved to a spacious theater where the dancers showcased impressive hula and fire dances. There was also a presentation that traced the history of Hawaii using two large screens, featuring songs and dances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, which got all the Western guests excited.
Thanks to this experience, we had a wonderful last night in Hawaii. Thank you!
結婚30周年のハワイ旅行。ハワイ初訪問の主人がハワイらしい体験をしたい!と言うのでフラもロックも楽しめるこちらを選びました。
キレイなフラルックのお姉さんに生花のレイをかけて頂きエルビスプレスリーさんと写真をパシャ!もう気分は上々♪
席に着くとマイタイドリンクから始まり、ビュッフェ形式でお皿いっぱいに盛って頬張りました。デザートも美味しかったです。
途中、フラダンスやフラレッスンもあり。
食事後に広いシアターに移動。ダンサーの皆様が素晴らしい見応えありのフラやファイヤーダンスを披露。
大きなスクリーン2つを活用してハワイの歴史を辿るような演出もありエルビスやマイケルジャクソンの歌やダンス、欧米のお客さん達も皆んなで大いに盛り上がっていました。

We took a bus to the zipline location. The driver shared stories about movie filming sites and legends associated with Kualoa Ranch. (Google Translate was really helpful!)
The activities are supported by guides, so there's no need to worry. You can manage with gestures as well.
It felt amazing to be surrounded by the peaceful nature. You can also enjoy a suspension bridge and a bit of hiking. There are ride photos available, which you can check and purchase at the waiting hut for about $20 each.
The friendly guide asked simple questions in English like, "What’s your favorite fruit?" and "What’s your favorite movie?" My elementary school daughter was a bit nervous about those questions, though! I would love to participate again.
ジップラインの場所までバスで移動。ドライバーさんが映画のロケ地やクアロアランチに伝わる伝説を話してくれます。(Google翻訳大活躍!)
アクティビティはガイドさんがサポートしてくれるので心配いりません。あとはジェスチャーでなんとかなります。

吊り橋やちょっとしたハイキングも楽しめます。

I participated on December 28. I really wanted to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I heard that local tours are smooth and good because currently, access is strictly limited for environmental protection. It was indeed strict to enter the bay, and there was a long line of cars waiting. The guide seemed to be familiar with the local staff, which made things very smooth for us. All participants borrowed wetsuits. Since there are quite a few rocky areas, I thought it would be dangerous to just wear swimsuits. Please be careful. The guide, who was a couple, provided us with solid instruction on the basic techniques. Even I, who had a fear of water, quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.
12月28日に参加しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングを是非したかったのと、現在、環境保護のために、人の出入りが厳しく制限されているということで、現地ツアーがスムーズで良いと聞いたからです。本当に湾に入るのは厳しく、順番待ちの車がズラーッと並んでいました。ガイドさんは現地の係員さんと顔馴染みのようで、こちらはとてもスムーズだったように思います。ウエットスーツは参加者全員借りていました。割と岩場があるので、水着だけでは怪我してしまうと思いました。お気をつけください。ガイドさんはご夫婦で私達を案内してくれて、基本的テクニックをしっかり教えてもらえました。水に恐怖感があった私も、すぐ慣れて楽しめました。
It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit.
ウエットスーツは必ず借りたほうが良いです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Snorkeling can feel the most challenging during the first time, but you'll get better as you get used to it. I believe you'll find it much easier on your second try, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. We'll be waiting for you anytime. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。ツアーを楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。シュノーケリングは1回目が一番難しく感じますが、慣れればだんだんと上手になります。2回目はもっと楽にできると思いますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。Mahalo!!

It was the best experience. The two-hour horseback riding was fulfilling, taking us from the ocean side of Kualoa Ranch through the plateau where Jurassic World was filmed. We formed a group of six, with the guide leading us in a single file. This time, we were in a group with two couples from America and Australia. Throughout the two hours, the guide moved to the front, the middle, and the back, carefully following each person. It was my first time riding for such a long duration, and I was nervous at first, but the guide's support allowed me to ride with peace of mind. At some point, I felt a connection with the horse, and I couldn't help but find it adorable. Before the ride, the guide mounted a horse and explained how to ride. (Japanese participants are shown a Japanese video without needing to request it.)
Due to age restrictions, I went ahead to Kualoa Ranch with my older child for horseback riding, and in the afternoon, I met up with my husband and younger child to enjoy the buggies. I saw reviews mentioning waiting for the return bus, so I arranged for transportation only for myself and my older child for the ride there, and we returned with a taxi that we had booked for the whole family. There were hamburgers and other items available at the shop. During horseback riding, you can only take drinks and a smartphone, but there is a locker available for $5 a day that allows for multiple entries and can hold about three backpacks.
最高の体験でした。
2時間の乗馬は、クアロアランチの海側からジュラシックワールドの撮影場所の台地を抜けて進むという内容で充実しました。6人でグループになり、ガイドが先導し1列で進んでいきます。今回はアメリカとオーストラリアから参加したカップル2組と一緒のグループになりました。ガイドは2時間の間、前に行ったり、真ん中に入ったり、最後尾についたり、一人一人丁寧にフォローしてくれました。長時間の乗馬は初めてで最初は緊張しましたが、ガイドのフォローで安心して乗ることが出来ました。途中から馬と少し心が通じた?気がして、馬が可愛くて仕方なかったです。乗馬前には、ガイドが馬に跨り、乗馬について説明してくれます。(日本人はリクエストしなくても日本語の動画を見せられます。)
年齢制限があるため、乗馬は上の子供と一足先にクアロアランチに向かい、午後は夫と下の子供と合流し、バギーを楽しみました。
帰りのバスの時間が待つという口コミを見たので、送迎は私と上の子だけ有りで行きのみ利用し、帰りは家族全員で予約していたタクシーで帰りました。食事はハンバーガーなどが売店にありました。乗馬時は飲み物とスマホくらいしか持って行けませんが、1日5ドルで何度でも出し入れできるロッカーがあり、リュック3個くらいは入ります。
After horseback riding, the guide sent us the photos they took via AirDrop. It's best to give a tip at this time.
乗馬後に、ガイドが撮影した写真をエアドロップで送信してもらいました。チップはこの時に渡すのがベストです。
