It was the first time taking my family to PCC and they enjoyed learning about the different islands and cultures. It was a fun and filled with hands on activities for any one of any age to participate in. The buffet had a lot of food to offer and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were initially seated in the back but we had two members in our family with mobility issues and they promptly reseated us closer to the food. The show Ha was great. I have never seen a woman Samoan fire dancer and she was phenomenal.

Our family of 4 loved the variety of this tour! We have 2 older teenage boys (17 and 19) and our family loves to travel! The hike was a great way to start the trip! It was so beautiful going up and WOW, the view at the top is spectacular! The next stop was a food truck that had malasadas….don’t miss this! Yumm, my boys LOVED them! The rest of the tour was fantastic and the guide offered so much history detail and information! All the stops were great and we especially loved the north shore!

At Kualoa Ranch, there are many activities, and at my husband's request, we decided to go horseback riding. This was my husband's third time, while it was my first experience. Although I was nervous, I got to ride a horse and slowly lined up, swaying gently on the calm and smart horses. We enjoyed beautiful views of the mountains, movie filming locations, and the stunning contrast between the sky and the sea. Initially, I was very anxious, but in the end, I was extremely satisfied with choosing horseback riding and participating in this course. I still remember various scenes vividly. It's a place I would love to visit again if I have the chance! Thank you to the guides!
クアロアランチで沢山のアクティビティがある中、主人の希望で、乗馬をすることに。
主人は3度目、私は初体験、ドキドキしながらも馬に乗せてもらい、整列しながらゆっくりと、大人しく賢いお馬さんたちに揺られながら、山の中や映画のロケ地、空と海のコントラストが綺麗な景色など、堪能する事が出来ました。
最初はとても不安でしたが、結果、乗馬を選んで、
このコースに参加出来て大満足で、今でもいろんな光景が思い出されます。
機会があればまた訪れたい場所です♪
ガイドのお姉さんたち、有難うございました!

I had a great time enjoying content that can't be experienced in Japan.
I think even small children can enjoy horseback riding on their own if they meet the height requirements. It may take a little time to get used to handling the horse.
Horseback riding in the magnificent nature, which is hard to capture in photos, is the best!
日本では体験のできないコンテンツが楽しめ大満足です。

It was my first horseback riding experience, but thanks to the well-behaved horses, I was able to complete it without any issues. It was a non-stop two hours, so I was a bit tired and my back became quite sore, but I feel it was the best experience. As advice for those who will go in the future, I recommend bringing a waist pouch. There are few places to secure valuables on the horse, so it's convenient to have.
初乗馬でしたが、お利口な馬たちのおかげでなんなく終えることができました。
2時間休みなくだったので少々疲れたのと、背中はだいぶ筋肉痛になりましたが、最高の経験になったと感じます。
これからの方へのアドバイスとして、ウェストポーチを持っていくことをおすすめします。
馬につけられる貴重品が少ないので、あると便利です。

I had been curious about the horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch for a long time. It was great to have such a unique experience in nature.
It was my first time riding a horse, and I was scared, but I managed to get on. It was a bit tough since I had to put some strength into my legs. (I did end up with sore muscles the next day, haha.)
I'm not sure if there are several courses, but on this day, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the Jurassic Park signs or bones, but I still had a lot of fun. If I could have spoken English, I might have been able to ask about it...
The path we walked was quite narrow, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it was also fun. We enjoyed views of the ocean, walked along narrow paths, and passed right next to a herd of cows.
Since you can't carry any bags while riding, I put everything in a locker. I only took my smartphone, secured it with a strap to my belt, and kept it in a pocket where I could easily access it, but you have to hold the reins with both hands to avoid dropping it, so it's at your own risk. If you want to take photos, it's best to attach a strap to your smartphone or something similar to ensure it doesn't fall. Your own safety comes first.
The instructor kindly took some photos for us, which was nice.
Wearing long pants is a good idea. The horse can get a bit messy, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, haha.
I was satisfied with the cute souvenirs I bought. There are light snacks available, but the food might be tastier after returning to Waikiki?
I actually wanted to try the ATV experience as well, but it wasn't available that day. During the free time, I looked at the animals in the park. Next time, I definitely want to experience the ATV ride too.
ずっと気になっていたクアロア牧場の乗馬体験。大自然の中貴重な体験ができて良かったです。
初めての乗馬で怖かったですが、何とか乗れました。足に力を入れるので少し大変でした。(次の日筋肉痛にはなりました笑)
コースがいくつかあるのか分かりませんが、この日はジェラシックパークの看板や骨は見られず、少し残念でしたが十分楽しめました。
英語が話せたら聞けたかもしれませんが……
かなり狭い道を歩いていくのでヒヤヒヤしますご、それも楽しいです。
海を眺めながらや、狭い道、牛の群れの真横を通ったりとしました。
荷物は持って乗れないので全てロッカーに入れました。スマートフォンだけベルトにストラップを固定して、すぐ取り出せるポケットに入れて持っていきましたが、綱を両手で持っていないと落ちるので自己責任。
写真を撮りたい方は、スマートフォンなどにストラップを付けて、絶対に落ちないようにした方がいいです。自分が落ちないのが最優先ですが。
インストラクターの方がご好意で写真を撮ってくれていたので良かったです。
長ズボンが良いです。馬が勢いよくもよおすので、汚れます笑 汚れてもいい服装がベストです。
可愛いお土産も買えて満足でした。軽食もありますが、ワイキキとかに帰ってからの方が美味しいかも?
本当はバギー体験もしたかったですが、この日は無く。空いた時間は園内にいる動物を見たりしていました。
次は是非バギーも体験したいです。

The hotel pickup location was ready earlier than the scheduled time. After checking IDs, we boarded the bus (it was a large bus that day) and headed to Kualoa. Upon arrival, our names were called, and we received our tickets. At this point, Japanese guests can receive their tickets from Japanese staff, who provide explanations about the facilities in Japanese, so there’s no problem for those who don’t speak English at all.
The tickets indicate the start time of the activities and the return bus schedule. For those riding horses, since you can't bring luggage, you can store your belongings in a locker for $5, which you can access in and out. They lend you a pouch that can be attached to the saddle, so you can bring water or a camera.
Before the activities, we watched an explanatory video (they ask what language you prefer), and they help you choose a horse that seems compatible with you, and then it’s time to ride. You don’t really need to control the reins because the horses are so smart and capable; as long as you ride quietly without burdening them, the horses will navigate the path on their own. If they suddenly stop, it’s usually for a bathroom break. (Laughs) But it’s still important to hold the reins properly for safety.
We only passed by the filming locations of Jurassic Park, with no stops or photo opportunities. Other tours with buggies or bicycles allowed for free photo-taking.
After the two-hour horseback riding, we had about 40 minutes of free time. You can browse the souvenir shop or have a meal. Right after the ride, a photographer takes individual photos, which can be purchased for $20 each at the entrance of the souvenir shop.
The return bus varies by destination, but you line up, confirm your name, and board the bus.
I thought it was great how efficiently everything was organized. We rode through the forest, but we also went to open areas with good sunlight, so sun protection is important. Additionally, you can’t get water, and even at the shop, a 500ml bottle costs about $3.50, so it’s best to bring your own.
The restrooms were clean, and even the portable toilets were spacious, not smelly, and well-maintained, unlike those in Japan.
I rode with my mother, who has difficulty walking, but the staff chose a horse suitable for her, and all the horses were very smart, so I was a bit worried, but everything was perfectly fine. However, riding for two hours does make your backside sore. (Laughs)
I definitely recommend participating at least once!
ホテルのピック場所は集合時間よりも早めに待機してくれてました。IDチェックしてバスに乗り込み(この日は大型バスでした)いざクアロアへ。
着いたら名前を呼ばれ、チケットを渡されます。
この時に、日本人は日本人のスタッフからチケットを貰えて、日本語で施設の説明等をしていただけるので、英語が全くな方でも問題ないです。
チケットにはアクティビティの開始時間、帰りのバスの時間が記載されています。
馬に乗る人は、荷物が持ち込めない為、$5で出し入れ可なロッカーに荷物を預けます。
馬の鞍に着けるポーチを貸して貰えるので、水やカメラぐらいであれば持っていけます。
アクティビティの前に説明ビデオを見せられ(何語?と聞かれます)自分に相性が良さそうな馬を選んでくれて、いざ乗馬。自分で手綱を持って操る…必要が無いぐらい馬が賢く利口なので、静かに馬の負担にならないように乗っていれば、全部馬が自分で道を進んでくれます。
途中急に立ち止まったりしたら、大抵おトイレです。笑
でもやっぱり危険なので、手綱はちゃんと持っていました。
ジュラシックパークの撮影場所は通過するだけで、停まったり写真タイム等はありません。他のバギーや自転車で周るツアーは降りて写真撮影自由にしていました。
2時間乗馬が終わったら、40分ぐらい時間があります。お土産屋を見たり食事をしたり出来ます。
乗馬して直ぐにカメラマンの方に写真を一人一人撮ってくれますが、その写真は1枚$20でお土産屋の入口で買えます。
帰りのバスは行き先毎に異なりますが、列に並んで名前を確認されてバスに乗り込みます。
かなり無駄無くテキパキと動けるので良いなと思いました。
森の中を乗馬で歩きますが、日当たりがいい開けた場所も行くので、日焼け対策は大事だと思います。また、水はもらう事は出来ず売店でも500が1本$3.5ぐらいしていたので、持参が良いです。
トイレも綺麗で、仮設トイレっぽいトイレも中は日本と違って広く、臭く無く、綺麗です。
今回私は脚が悪い母と乗馬しましたが、スタッフの方が、その人に合う馬を選んでくれ、何より賢
い馬ばかりなので、少し心配でしたが、全く大丈夫でした。。。ただ2時間も馬に乗るので、お尻は痛いです。笑
是非一度参加してみてください♪

The signal to encourage the horse is probably the sensation of pressing your heels against its belly... It seems that tapping around the arch of the foot doesn't convey the message.

This ATV experience was unlike any I’ve had before. It’s located on a farm, so you get to see the farm animals, feed them, and pet them, which is pretty cool. You can enjoy the farm life before or after you ride. I HIGHLY recommend using their goggles. Sunglasses do diddly squat when you’re out there riding; it gets very dusty. You ride to a track, do many laps on the track, and then ride to scenic areas where they will take pictures of you. The track got boring after a while; I recommend that they utilize more space or a different area for ATV rides to change it up. They took a video of us on the track, and wanted $10 for one minute-long video that included my family and people I didn’t know that were in and out of the frame in a flash. Needless to say, we did not buy the video. Despite this, they were kind-hearted and led us to see the beautiful scenery where we could get the best pictures. I enjoyed the experience!

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

During my stay in Hawaii, the best experience by far was this tour.
● The scenery used in Jurassic Park. Specifically, there are vast grasslands with steep cliffs visible in the distance.
● Then, we crossed the forest and viewed Diamond Head from the top of a hill.
● This might be seasonal, but on the way back through the forest, the guide shared edible fruits and plants, keeping things interesting.
● The horses were calm, and there were few bugs, providing a rich experience. Since there was no trotting or galloping, I recommend it for beginners! Even as an experienced rider, I was completely satisfied without any fast-paced riding.
ハワイ滞在中、間違いなく最高の体験はこのツアーでした。
●ジュラシック・パークでも使われた風景。具体的には、草原が広がり遠くに切り立った崖が見えます。
●そして森を越えて、丘の上からダイアモンドヘッドを眺めました。
●これは季節限定かもしれないですが、帰りの森の中でもガイドさんは食べられる木の実や草を渡してくれて飽きさせない内容でした。
●馬たちもおとなしく、虫も少ない、心豊かな経験を得られました。速歩や駆け足はやらないので、初心者の方もオススメです!経験者ですが、速歩などなくても大満足でした。

My family wanted to do the Horseback riding while vacationing in Hawaii.
This location was AMAZING! We drove out to the other side of the island, which was pretty awesome to be away from the touristy rside.
Our tour guide was a young gal who treated my family GREAT! She was very professional, kind and knowable about horses. I believe her name was Freda
The path (trail) we took was absolute Breathe taking. The ocean is sooooooo beautiful. Better than the tourist side! Even the grassy trails were . The horses are beautiful, well trained and they looked professionally cared for.
I rate Frida , the horses, the trail with 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Now… as for the other gal (straight blonde hair) who also was NOT our tour guide. I believe her name was Phoebe Giving her ⭐️
She was not interested in interacting with my family.
Wow.. as soon as youngsters arrived for their tour… Phoebe, was SOCIAL and guided them with EVERYTHING and she was giddy too. Total change.
We were all grouped together but would be toured separately. When she spoke out she said, you’ll go out separately and you’ll be taken out by me or Freda. Bam, I already knew she wasn’t going to be our tour guide because we weren’t young as the other group. She wanted to tour the ones closest to her age group. That’s perfectly fine but you’re not supposed to make it so obvious.
Anyhow, we were so PLEASED to have Freda guide us. She made this experience GREAT that we would do this again with her!

I had a trouble right before and ended up being late for the meeting time (I had contacted them by phone in advance), but I was asked whether I would prefer to ① reschedule for another date or ② join from the middle, and I was able to reschedule for a later time on the same day. The zip line was numerous and long, so it was extremely fun!! I feel like this is the best zip line you can book on Oahu! However, the conversation is basically in English, so you are expected to respond in English to some extent. But even if you can't speak well, they will follow up properly, so there's no need to be too scared.
One point about Google Maps: the link provided here does not lead to the reception area. If you look around the area on Google, you might see a couple of locations, but the correct place is a bit further away, not the one closer to Kamehameha Hwy. Please be careful if you are accessing by car from the north!

直前にトラブル発生してしまい集合時間に遅れてしまった(事前に電話で連絡はしていた)のですが、
①別の日時に振り替える
②途中から参加する
のどちらが良いか尋ねられ、当日の遅い時間帯に振り替えることができました。ジップラインは数も多く、長いので非常に楽しかったです!!
オアフ島で申し込めるジップラインとしてはこれが最高な気がします!
ただ、基本的に会話は英語なので、英語である程度受け答えすることは求められます。でも話せなくてもちゃんとフォローしてくれるのでそこまで怖がらなくても大丈夫です。
一点、Googleの地図ですが、ここで掲載されているリンク先が受付ではありません。Googleで付近を見ると2つほど地点が見えると思うのですが、Kamehameha Hwyから近いほうでは無く、少し離れたところが正しい場所になります。北方面から車でアクセスする方は注意してください!

The directions listed on the voucher did not include guidance from the Haleiwa area, which led to some confusion as I thought I should turn on Einos Rd. I was also flustered because Google Maps provided incorrect directions. When coming from Haleiwa, you should pass Einos Rd, continue for a while, and then turn right at the sign after passing the church on your right. Unfortunately, we encountered rain several times along the way, but the zipline experience itself was very enjoyable, and the staff were friendly. Even though we didn't understand English well, we had a great time.
バウチャーに記載のdirectionはハレイワ方面からの案内は記載されておらずイーノスRdで曲がるものと思い道に迷いました。Google mapでも誤った指示がされたので焦りました。ハレイワから行く際はイーノスRdをパスして暫く教会を右手に通り越して看板を右折です。残念ながら途中で何回か雨に降られましたがジップライン自体は大変さ楽しかったです、スタッフも気さくで英語が分からない自分達も充分に楽しめました。

There are sharks everywhere, not just a few. Sharks in 360 degrees.
The cage is so wide that not only my hands and feet but even my body can easily stick out; in fact, if the sharks really try, they could get in too. It's a tour that depends on the sharks' mood.
There were no Japanese participants, but there was one Japanese staff member, which made me feel very reassured.
A GoPro is essential; it seems you can rent one there too. I think it will be a topic of conversation for ages, so you should definitely take photos and videos. I’ll probably brag about it to my grandchildren right before I die.
I was in the cage for 20 minutes, but I think 10 minutes would have been enough (laughs). In the first half, I was moved by seeing the sharks, and in the second half, I was just swaying around like in a washing machine. I got seasick. You will definitely get seasick. Even if you take motion sickness medication, you will still feel it.
The staff member said the weather on the day I participated was very calm, but once you're in the cage, that doesn't matter; you will get seasick.
On the way back on the boat, a handsome guy with bronze hair was throwing up right in front of me. The boat was moving at a decent speed, so the vomit was flying sideways. Even while throwing up, he was still handsome.
The distance from the hotel in Waikiki to the North Shore is too far, so it's better to check your transportation options properly. It seemed like everyone came by rental car. We took a bus transfer, but I was most worried about whether we would make it there.
Overall, I was very satisfied! I don't think I'll ever get the chance to swim with sharks again in my life, so if you're hesitating, you should definitely do it. You’ll get to see the handsome guy's blue face.

The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the horses were very well-behaved. It was a fun tour! I booked a horseback riding tour with transportation included.
【Pickup】
We gathered at the front entrance of the hotel next to the one we were staying at at 8:30 AM. The shuttle bus arrived right on time, and we boarded after confirming our names. I had to show my passport, but it was fine to just present one for the person who made the reservation. The bus was freezing cold! Make sure to bring a long-sleeve shirt! After about a 45-minute ride, we arrived.
【Check-in】
We sat on benches with the other passengers from the bus while a staff member from Kualoa Ranch explained things. Since it was in English, I could hardly understand what was being said, haha. When my name was called, I received a ticket (a flimsy piece of paper about the size of A5). It had the details of the tour I booked and the return bus time. After getting the ticket, we moved to another area for an explanation about the ranch. The staff directed us, saying things like, "Those going on the buggy tour, gather over there!" and "Those on the movie location tour, gather over there!" We received explanations about the meeting places, times, and locations of souvenir shops and cafes. I understood bits and pieces of the words, and then we dispersed until it was time.
【Lockers】
Participants in the horseback riding tour can only bring their smartphones as cameras and minimal belongings; everything else should be stored in lockers. There are plenty of lockers available. They have Japanese support, so I think operating them won't be a problem. It's $5 for the day, and you can open and close them freely!
【Restroom】
I prepared myself for dirty restrooms since it was overseas and at a ranch, but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean they were! The outdoor unisex portable toilets were spacious and completely usable! That was a relief! I recommend using the restroom at the souvenir shop area for water.
【Horseback Riding Tour】
Since we had two hours until our scheduled time, we relaxed in the shade. I wasn't hungry yet and felt a bit sleepy, so I dozed off until it was time. We went to the horseback riding check-in 15 minutes early and signed a consent form. I signed my name in English as it appeared on my passport on a green piece of paper, along with my age in kanji. After that, we watched a short instructional video about horseback riding in Japanese. I put on the helmet I was given. The sizes of helmets for Japanese and foreigners are different, haha. As long as it fits, it was okay, so I ended up wearing a strangely sized helmet, haha. They gave us a small pouch to attach to the saddle, where we could put our cameras and such. By the way, during the instructional video, they said video recording was prohibited, but a Japanese staff member happened to be there and said, "That video is old; it says no recording because big video cameras are dangerous, but small ones like GoPros or phone cameras are fine." Thanks to that, I was able to capture a lot of videos!
Once you get on the horse, you won't get off until you return. We toured the filming locations, but there weren't any detailed explanations; we just understood where we were by looking at the signs. However, the views were breathtaking everywhere, and just riding a horse through such scenery (even though the horses were smart enough to follow the route on their own, haha) was incredibly enjoyable. My horse and my companion's horse kept munching on grass, though, haha.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and just as my backside started to hurt, the tour ended. It was so much fun!
【Return Bus】
We had about two hours until the return bus. I was getting hungry, so I had a classic burger, and my companion had loco moco. It was delicious!
For the return bus, we waited outside the cafe where we were instructed when we arrived. As the time approached, people started gathering, and we were called to board. However, whe
景色が最高によくてお馬さんもお利口で、楽しいツアーでした!
送迎付きの乗馬ツアーを予約しました。
【お迎え】
朝8:30に宿泊していたホテルの隣のホテルの正面玄関に集合しました。
時間ぴったりにお迎えのバスが来て、名前の確認をして乗り込みます。
その際パスポートを提示しました。
ツアーを予約した代表者一名分で大丈夫です。
バスの中はすっごい寒いです!長袖持参必須!!
45分程度走って到着しました。
【チェックイン】
乗ってきたバスの乗客の皆さんと共にベンチへ座り、クアロア牧場のスタッフの方が説明をしてくれます。英語なので何を言ってるかほとんどわかりませんでした笑
名前を呼ばれてチケット(という名のA5くらいのペラい紙)を渡されます。
予約したツアーと帰りのバスの時間が書かれています。
チケットをもらったら場所を移動して、牧場の説明を受けます。
バギーの人〜!その人たちはあっちに集合。映画ロケ地巡りツアーの人〜!あなた達はあっちに集合。と、説明されていきます。
集合場所と時間とその他のお土産屋さんやカフェの場所など説明を受けました。単語単語だけなんとなく理解したところで時間まで解散。
【ロッカー】
乗馬ツアーに参加する人はカメラがわりのスマホと最小限の荷物だけを持って他はロッカーにしまいます。
ロッカーはたくさんあります。
日本語対応しているので操作は問題ないと思います。
1日5ドルで開け閉め自由です!
【トイレ】
海外…しかも牧場…
トイレが汚いのを覚悟して行きましたが、拍子抜けするぐらい綺麗でした!
特に外のユニセックスの仮設トイレ?みたいなところは広々としていて、全然問題なく使えました!
助かった!
水道はお土産屋さんのところのトイレを利用するといいと思います。
【乗馬ツアー】
予約時間まで2時間あったので日陰でのんびり待ってました。
お腹もまだ空いていないし、眠たいしでうとうとしている間に時間が来ました。
15分前に乗馬の受付に行き、同意書にサインします。
緑色の紙にパスポートの英語表記の名前、年齢、漢字でサインをしました。
その後日本語で乗馬の簡単なレッスンのビデオを見ました。
渡されたヘルメットを被ります。
日本人の頭と外国の方の頭はサイズが違うので…笑
とりあえず被れればOKということで変なサイズのヘルメットを被りました笑
鞍のツノにつけられる小物入れを渡されますので、その中にカメラなどを入れます。
ちなみに、乗馬の説明ビデオの中でビデオ撮影は禁止、と言われますが日本人スタッフの方がたまたまいて、「あれは古い映像だからビデオの機械が大きいと危ないからダメって言ってるけど、最近の小さいGoProとか携帯のカメラならビデオOK」と言われました。おかげさまでたくさん動画も残せました!
一度馬に乗ったら戻ってくるまで降りることはありません。
ロケ地を巡りますが特に詳しい説明などはなく、立て看板を見てなるほどここがジュラシックワールドのロケ地ね、などと勝手に理解していくタイプです。
ただ、どこをとっても絶景なのでそんな中を自らが操る馬に乗って(といっても馬達はお利口なのでただ乗ってるだけでルートを進んでくれます笑)巡るだけでも十分楽しいと思います。
私と同行者の馬はめちゃくちゃ道草を食べましたが(笑)
あっという間に2時間が経ち、そろそろお尻も痛くなってきた頃ツアーも終わります。
とっても楽しかったです!
【帰りのバス】
帰りのバスまでも2時間程度時間がありました。
流石にお腹も空いてきたので、私はクラシックバーガーを。同行者はロコモコを食べました。美味しかったです!
帰りのバスはカフェの外、来た時に説明を受けたあたりで座って待っていると時間になるにつれてぞろぞろと人が集まってきて呼ばれて乗り込むことになります。
ただ、私たちが行った時は3台のバスが並べられて、どこどこ行きの人はこのバス!どこどこ行きの人はこのバス!とスタッフの方が英語で説明するのを聞いて乗り込む事になります。わからなければチケットに書かれた場所をスタッフの方に見せてどのバスに乗ればいいか聞くといいと思います!
帰りは道が混んでいたので1時間と少しかかって朝の集合場所へ戻ってきました。大体16:30ごろ戻ってきたと思います。
日本の乗馬体験では自分で馬を操るというのはなかなか難しいですが、ヘルメット一つの軽装(?)で自分で馬を操って2時間も歩く乗馬体験は海外ならではですね。
とっても楽しい1日になりました!

Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The ocean, river and all around area where we kayaked were beautiful - and the icing on the cake was the abundance of turtles! One of our favourite activities and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone - and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Oahu!
We thank you for such a great review. We are so excited to read what a wonderful experience you all had. We do hope you'll come back soon to see us again.
Mahalos!

I was very scared of heights, and wasn’t too sure I would make it through the activity. But we were a group of 12 including 3 of the staff and I must say the staff were incredibly supportive, attentive, friendly. You could really see they enjoyed what they do. They made us feel safe every step of the way. I’m so sorry I forgot their names, but everyone there was very welcoming. It was a 3 hour activity, 7 zip lines but we had a great time, we didn’t wanted to be over. Beautiful ocean and ranch view. I would go again. Really recommend for everyone.
