All Reviews for Kualoa Ranch, Oahu

I read in the reviews that there was no need to pay, but it was incredibly fun and the best experience!
1. The Lot Ticket Tour allowed us to enter the world of movies and experience Jurassic Park!
2. The Jungle Tour was amazing because we had a driver with incredible driving skills, making it feel like a roller coaster ride.
3. The Garden Tour was nice since it was a botanical garden.
My child is 9 years old, and while we couldn't do the buggy or horseback riding, this choice was the best.
I've experienced various optional tours abroad, but this was the most enjoyable.
My image of Hawaii has completely changed.
It is indeed pricey, but it's worth it!
The meals were also suited for Japanese tastes, like teriyaki chicken.

口コミには、払う必要が無いって書いてましたが、とんでもなく楽しくて最高でした！
①ロチケツアーは、映画の世界に入れて、ジェラシックパークを体感できました！！
②ジャングルツアーは、ドライビングテクニックが、凄い方に当たったので、ジェットコースターのように、楽しめました。
③ガデーンツアーは、植物園なので、それなりに、良かった。
子供は9才ですが、バギーも馬も無理でしたが、
このチョイス最高。
海外のオプシナルツアーを色々体験してますが、1番楽しめました。
ハワイのイメージ激変。
確かにお高いですが、良いです！
食事も日本人向きでした。照り焼きチキン(^-^)

I had a great time, but I think more people would attend if it were a bit cheaper. My light-colored slacks got stained brown. Maybe it was because the horse had brown wax on it, so I hope for a colorless wax next time.

非常に楽しかったが、もう少し格安であればもっと参集人員が増えると思う。白っぽいスラックスが茶色に染まり汚れた。多分馬に茶色のワックスがかかっておりそれが付着したので次回からムショクワックスを望む。

The location tour was interesting and time passed quickly, but the next jungle tour? The guide was a foreigner and spoke only English. The places we visited felt similar to the location tour. I couldn't understand anything the guide was saying and we just rode around in a truck that had a bit more speed. If I had known the guide would only speak English, I wouldn't have gone.

We wasted about an hour and a half here, and the meal we finally returned to was terrible; it would have been better not to eat at all. The last taste farm had a Japanese guide who was easy to understand, which improved my mood a bit, but we spent almost the entire day going around similar environments and wasted precious time during our stay in Hawaii. I wish the Japanese site had mentioned in the notes that the guide would only speak English.

ロケ地ツアーは面白く時間が過ぎましたが続いてのジャングルツアー？ガイドが外人さんで英語のみ
回る場所もロケ地ツアーと雰囲気変わらず
ガイドが何言ってるか全くわからないままただ少しスピード感を出したトラックで回るのみ
英語のみのガイドなら行きませんでした。
ここで無駄に１時間半位時間を無駄にしやっと戻った食事がまた最悪、食べない方がマシでした。
最後のテイストファームはわかりやすい日本のガイドだったので少し気分が良くなりましたが、いかんせん同じような環境をほぼ一日中回ってせっかくのハワイの貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしました。
日本のサイトで申し込んで英語だけのガイドなら注意事項で書いておいてほしかったです。

- Transportation
There is no hotel pickup, so you'll need to arrange your own transportation. From Waikiki, it takes just under two hours by public bus (one way, including transfer time, for $5.50), so it's best to clarify travel times using Google Maps. Don't linger on the way back; after finishing, it's advisable to check the bus schedule on Google Maps before relaxing. Since buses run infrequently, missing one could be quite disappointing. I was fortunate that the bus arrived right on time, but if I had missed it, I would have had to wait an hour.

- Meals
At a local log cabin, there are plenty of options like loco moco, hamburgers, and shrimp rice dishes, and you can eat well for about $15. If you want a change of atmosphere from the city, I recommend eating here.

- Clothing
It's probably best to avoid short-sleeved shirts and sandals. At the very least, you should refrain from wearing sandals. Since you'll be climbing a trail, if you're concerned about insect bites, long sleeves, long pants, and comfortable shoes are advisable. The weather in the jungle can be unpredictable, so having rain gear is a good idea. I used rain gear myself.

- Ziplining
The instructor's explanations are primarily in English. Well, as long as you follow along, you'll be fine. The ziplining experience in such an unusual environment was exhilarating. There were a few people around who seemed a bit scared, but if you can handle a roller coaster at an amusement park, you should be okay.

If you have some spare time and are looking for something other than Hawaii's beaches and shopping, I recommend it.

・移動
ホテルのピックアップはなく、独自での移動が必要。
ワイキキから、路線バスで2時間弱(片道、乗継時間含む、5.5ドル)なので、Googleマップで移動時間を明確にした方がよい。
帰りもゆっくりせず、終わったらすぐにGoogleマップで帰りのバスの時間を調べてからくつろぐなどした方がよいですね。
本数が少ないので、逃したら、なかなか凹みそう。
自分は抜群にタイミングよくバス来てよかったですが、乗れてなかったら1時間待ちになるところでした。

・食事
現地のログハウスで、ロコモコとかハンバーガーとか、エビのナントカライスとか豊富に揃ってるし、15ドルあれば充分に食べられるから、街中と異なって気分変えるならココで食べるのがオススメ。

・服装
半袖短パンサンダルは控えた方が無難かな。
少なくてもサンダルは控えるべき。
登山路みたいなのを登りながらだから、虫刺されも気にするなら、
長袖長ズボン動きやすい靴がよいです。
ジャングルで天候が乱れやすいから、雨具あるとよいです。
自分は雨具使いました。

・ジップライン
インストラクターさんの説明は基本英語。
まぁ、従ってればなんとかなります。
あまり体験出来ない環境でのジップラインは爽快でした。
周囲には多少怖がってるヒトも居ましたが、遊園地のジェットコースターがダイジョブなら平気かなと。

時間に余裕あったり、ハワイの海と買物以外なら、オススメです。

I had a great time horseback riding for two hours in nature. It's a shame I couldn't ride the tram due to time constraints.

It's also disappointing that there was no explanation about the attractions before entering.

自然の中で二時間も乗馬できて楽しかったです。
時間がなくトラムには乗れなかったのが残念です。

入場前にどんなアトラクションがあるのか、全く説明がなかったなが、残念です。

Tour was great and weather was great luckily. Staff was very knowledgeable about area.

First, we gathered at the Sheraton bus stop. There is a counter where you check in and receive a wristband. Each activity has a different color wristband. Upon arrival, there is an explanation in Japanese about how to check in for each activity. During the waiting time between activities, you can buy souvenirs, have lunch at a café, or visit the Kualoa Ranch History Museum. The menu includes items like hamburgers (around $10 for a classic burger), loco moco, and garlic shrimp. For horseback riding, you store your belongings in a locker, check in, and then watch an orientation video in Japanese. Local participants received orientation directly from the instructor in English. It seems that horses have their own personalities, as some people encountered horses that strayed off the course. However, since the horses are well-trained, we were able to enjoy horseback riding while taking in the natural surroundings and experiencing authentic riding. The schedule indicated a departure from Kualoa Ranch around 2:00 PM, but we were able to leave at 1:00 PM, which minimized our waiting time and allowed us to make effective use of the following hours. The one-hour horseback ride was a simple course, but it was great to fully enjoy the great outdoors and experience horseback riding.

まず、シェラトンのバス乗り場に集合しました。カウンターがあるのでそこでチェックインんして、リストバンドをもらいます。コースごとに色がちがいます。到着すると各アクティビティのチェックイン方法の説明が日本語であります。アクティビティの間の待ち時間にはお土産を買ったり、カフェでランチをとったり、クアロアランチヒストリーミュージアムをみたりできます。ハンバーガー(クラシックバーガー10ドルくらい)やロコモコ、ガーリックシュリンプなどのメニューがあります。乗馬は荷物をロッカーに預けて、チェックインをした後、日本語のビデオでオリエンテーションがあります。現地の人は英語でインストラクターから直接オリエンテーションを受けていました。馬にも性格があるようでコースからそれてしまう馬にあたっている人もいました。しかしながら、調教がしっかりとされているので、自然を楽しみながら乗馬する余裕がありながら、本格的な乗馬を体験できました。スケジュールでは14:00-15:00ごろクアロアランチ発となっていましたが、13:00には、クアロアランチを出発できたので、待ち時間も少なく、その後の時間も有効に活用することができました。
1時間の乗馬でシンプルなコースですが、大自然を満喫して、乗馬も体験できたので、すごく良かったです。

It was a 2-hour horseback riding experience. There was someone who could speak Japanese to assist us, which was reassuring and very appreciated. Since there is one guide for each group, we were a group of six, but it might be more enjoyable with a smaller group. The 2-hour course felt quite long. I think one hour would be just right for a first-time rider. I may have been a bit greedy (laughs). The horses were well-trained and sometimes caused a bit of trouble, but they were smart. Kualoa Ranch offers various activities, so I think it's great to combine them for more fun.

乗馬体験2時間コースでした。日本語のできるお手伝いしてくれる方がいました。安心しましたし、大変ありがたかったです。グループ毎にガイドさんが一名なので、私達は6名のグループでしたが、もう少し少ない方が楽かもしれません。2時間コース、けっこう長かったです。初めての乗馬なら1時間でちょうどいいような気がしました。欲張り過ぎました(笑)馬はよく躾けられており、時々困らせてくれましたが、お利口さんです。クアロア牧場は様々なアクティビティがあるので、組み合わせて楽しむのもいいと思います。

We had a great morning at the ranch. My husband loves driving the raptor and it was great to see where all our favourite tv shows and movies were filmed. Even if you’re not a movie buff the scenery alone is worth the visit, an absolutely stunning place! Great guides too who make you feel very relaxed and make it great fun.

I wondered if two hours would be too long, but it wasn't at all; before I knew it, the time had flown by as I became completely absorbed in the experience. Riding in such magnificent scenery, which you can't see in Japan, made me feel like an adventurer or an explorer.

Even though I can only speak a few words, the reception and the guide were friendly and accommodating, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience.

My wife's horse was lively and sometimes didn't listen, while my horse was timid and descended slowly but was obedient. It was fun to see the differences in their personalities.

2時間では長いかな？と思いましたがそんなことはなく夢中になっているうちに終わってしまっていました。日本では見られないような壮大な景色の中、体験する乗馬はまるで冒険家、探検家になったかのような気分でした。
単語しかしゃべれない私にも受付、ガイドの方ともに対応、愛想が良く安心して楽しめました。
また嫁の馬は活発で言うことを聞かない場面も。私の馬は臆病で下りはゆーっくり下る子だけど従順だったり性格に違いもみれるのも楽しかったです。

We participated as a couple. The horses were very well-behaved, and it was great. It was my first experience, but I think I might get hooked.

夫婦で参加しました。馬がかなり行儀がよく、とても良かったです。初めての体験でしたが、くせになりそうです。

The air is fresh, the greenery is beautiful, and you can fully enjoy nature. The crew also entertained us with their lively guiding talk. I think it's definitely a place worth visiting.

空気がよく、緑は美しく、自然を満喫できます。クルーの方々も軽快なガイドトークで楽しませてくれました。ぜひ行くべき場所だと思います。

I had a 2-hour horseback riding experience!
It was my first time riding, but the two hours flew by.
It felt like I had truly stepped into the world of Jurassic Park.
The staff were very friendly, and when my horse stopped to eat grass, they came over to guide the horse.
I had some anxiety, but there was nothing to worry about.

I'm really glad I could have such a wonderful experience in Hawaii.
There are many other tours, like beach tours, in Hawaii, but I really want to recommend this 2-hour horseback riding course.

私は2hコース乗馬の体験をしました！
乗馬は初めてでしたが、２時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまいました
まるで本当にジュラシックパークの中に迷い混んだ世界観がそこにはありました。
スタッフの方もとても気さくで
途中私の馬が草を食べて寄り道したときは、こちらに来て馬を指導してくれたり
不安もありましたが、心配することは何もありませんでした

こんなすてきな体験がハワイで出来て本当に良かったです。
他にも、ビーチのﾂｱｰなどもハワイには沢山ありますが
私はこの乗馬２時間コースをとてもお勧めしたいと思いました。

Great time, great scenery, and very well run tours.

I was worried that I couldn't participate because I forgot to copy the voucher, but when I informed the staff on-site, they assured me it was okay, and I was able to join!

It was my first time horseback riding for 2 hours, but the staff was kind and taught me well, so I had a great time on the movie course! I think it would be twice as fun for those who have seen the movie, haha. Since I hadn't watched it much, I felt a bit confused even when they explained things.

I boarded the bus from the Sheraton bus stop, but the bus was about 15 minutes late, and I was quite worried that I might have missed it.

バウチャーをコピーし忘れて、参加できないかと不安になりましたが、
忘れた旨を現地窓口の方に伝えたら、大丈夫とのお返事を頂き参加できました〜

2h乗馬するのは初めてでしたが、係りの方も親切に教えてくださり、楽しく映画コースを回れました！
映画観てた人だと2倍くらい楽しいと思います 笑 あまり観てなかったから、説明されても ？って感じでした

シェラトンのバス乗り場から乗りましたが、15分くらいバスが遅れていて、乗りそびれたのでは？と結構心配になりました〜

Despite the rain, I was able to enjoy horseback riding and the scenery very much. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of Jurassic Park, which was great.

雨の中でしたが、とても気持ちよく乗馬と景色を楽しむことが出来ました。
ジュラシックパークの雰囲気も楽しめてとてもよかったです。

We had a two-hour horseback riding course starting at 8 AM, and the ranch was still quiet with just six of us setting off. The horses were all calm, occasionally munching on grass, but we felt safe riding up hills and crossing rivers. The mountains were shrouded in mist, and we spent a precious two hours slowly taking in the magnificent scenery, feeling as if we had stepped into a Jurassic Park movie. I was extremely satisfied!

朝8時から2時間の乗馬コース、牧場内はまだ静かで6人での出発でした。馬達はみんな静かで時々草を食べてしまう事もありましたが、坂道も川も安心して乗っていられました。
山には靄がかかり雄大な景色をゆっくり眺めながらジェラシックパークの映画の中に入り込んだような貴重な2時間を過ごしました。
大満足でした！

This was my second time participating, and I enjoyed it again.
Although the weather was bad, the movie location tour was enjoyable.
The beach is recommended when the weather is nice.

2度目の参加で、今回も楽しめました。
天気が悪かったですが、映画ロケ地めぐりは楽しめます。
ビーチは天気が良い時がおススメです。

I participated in a zip line experience. We were driven from the ranch to the starting point, and along the way, there were movie filming locations. Fast-paced English was flying around, and while I didn't understand everything, I picked up some words and started to get a sense of the meaning.

It was a chilly day with clouds and occasional rain, but racing down over the pastured cows was refreshing, even without a clear blue sky. The guides were all fun, and I had a great time.

We were in the group that started at 11:30, but the bus pickup time was at 7:00. There were three return buses included in the package, but only one bus going there. We spent over three hours at the ranch before the start time, which felt a bit long. We relaxed and chatted, but I felt it would be better if there were at least two buses going there.

The zip line itself was fantastic, but I felt there were areas for improvement in the tour schedule, so I rated the overall experience a 4.

The video description in Japanese mentions that helmets are provided for free, and water bottles can be placed in the saddlebag. Throughout the ride, a local horse staff member accompanied us, opening gates along the way, but there was no guidance about filming or any other information provided. The horse guidance was limited to simple Japanese commands like "right" and "left." The handling of the horses was professional, so I felt safe; the horse I rode followed the one in front, so as long as we avoided distractions, everything was fine. It's suitable for beginners as well.

It's recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. If your pants ride up while mounting, high socks are advisable. Soft, loose-fitting fabric for pants is also recommended. I enjoyed the views of the mountains, grasslands, and ocean in Hawaii.

日本語のビデオ説明、ヘルメット着用(無料貸出)、サドルバックにペットボトルの水などがいれられました。
出発から終わりまで、現地の馬のスタッフがひとりついてくれて途中のゲートを開けたりしてくれましたが、ここでこんな撮影がありました、などのガイドは一切無しでした。
馬の誘導も片言の日本語で右ー、左ー、という位でした。馬の扱いはプロだったので安心、乗る馬は前の馬に着いていくので、道草だけさせなければ大丈夫です。初心者でもオッケー。
長袖長ズボン。またがってズボンの裾が上がる場合はハイソックスがおすすめです。

ハワイの山と草原、海を見れて楽しめました

I thought the 2-hour course might be a bit long, but in the end, I was glad it was 2 hours. The reservation was well organized in advance, and although there were no staff who spoke Japanese, the process was completed without any stress. Since it had just rained, my shoes got a little muddy before riding, but it wasn't a big deal, and there was no splashing of mud during the ride, so my clothes stayed clean. I was impressed by how the horse followed the instructions I was given in advance (to walk, turn, and stop), and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature during those 2 hours. My butt got a bit sore, but it was nothing I couldn't quickly forget. There were lockers available for use, and the restaurant had high-quality food, which made me very satisfied. It was a facility where even older couples could enjoy themselves comfortably.

少し長いかなと思いつつ2時間コースを申し込みましたが結果的に2時間で良かったと思います。事前予約でしっかり手配されており日本語のできるスタッフはいませんでしたがストレスなく手続き完了。雨上がりだったので馬に乗るまで靴は少し泥で汚れますがたいしたことなく乗馬中は全く泥跳ねもなく服はきれいでした。事前に馬の操り方（歩く、曲がる、止まる）を教えてもらい馬が忠実に従ってくれるのに感動し、自然の雄大さに圧倒される2時間でした。ややお尻が痛くなりましたがすぐに忘れる程度、安心して使えるロッカーもありレストランもクオリティーが高く満足、初老の夫婦でも安心して楽しめる施設でした。

We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12). The female guide was precise in her instructions, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a great recommendation for those who want to enjoy horseback riding. However, it was somewhat crowded due to participants from various routes, which made the guidance after arriving at the ranch a bit unclear. Additionally, there is quite a bit of free time before and after the horseback riding, but there isn't much to do or see, which can leave you feeling a bit idle.

2時間の乗馬ツアーに家族4人（大人2名、子供2名：10歳、12歳）で参加しました。ガイドの女性のリードも的確で、景色も絶景が楽しめて、乗馬を満喫したい人にはおすすめです。
ただし、様々なルートからのツアー参加者で多少混雑するためなのか、牧場到着後の案内がわかりづらかったです。また、乗馬を始める前と終わった後にフリータイムが結構あるのですが、あまりやることがなく、見るものも乏しいので手持無沙汰になります。

Ziplining was our favorite thing that we did in Hawaii! Instructors were great and so funny! Highly recommend this tour! The Atv tour lasted and hour as we got to see the beautiful ranch front and center!

I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii. When I thought of Hawaii, I only had Waikiki Beach in mind, but the mountains are amazing too! As expected of a volcanic island. While leisurely gazing at the majestic mountains and beautiful sea, there was even a bit of thrilling river crossing. I want to go again.

ハワイの大自然を満喫できました。
ハワイと言えばワイキキビーチしか
頭になかったのですが、なんのなんの
山もすごい‼︎ さすがは火山島です。
ゆっくりゆったり、雄大な山と美しい海を眺めながら、ちょっとスリリングな川渡りもあったり。また行きたいです。

I signed up for a 2-hour horseback riding session. With a 1-hour ride, you can't go to certain places. The view from the high ground is amazing. Since you'll be taking commemorative photos in the grasslands, I think it's a good idea to bring a camera. It was my first time riding in Western style, but the horses were well-trained, so I felt safe riding them.

2時間の乗馬を申し込みました。1時間の乗馬では行けない場所へ行くことが出来ます。高台からの眺めは最高。草原で記念撮影するので、カメラを持って行くといいと思います。ウエスタンスタイルの乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬はよく訓練されていて、安心して乗れました。

I was able to see the filming locations of the movie, which was a valuable experience. I had a fun day and would like to come back again.

映画の撮影場所を見ることができで、貴重な体験ができました。
１日楽しく過ごせて、また来たいと思いました。

The tour was great, George our tour guide provided an up close and personal look at the behind the scene props and WWII History of the Ranch. It was fun to see and stand next to some of the Jurassic Park sets which were used during the actual filming. Afternoon cruise was OK, but it would have been better if it sailed out to some of the sights highlighted like the Chinese Hat and the Island where Gilligan's Island was filmed. Food at their Buffet was very good and plentiful. All was well worth the money paid and I would do it again.

I wanted to experience horseback riding, so I searched online and found this page. I was unsure about the shuttle service, but since there weren't many options and it seemed like there would be a long wait, I decided not to include it.

At the beginning, there was an explanation in Japanese about how to guide the horses, so I felt reassured. I chose the one-hour course, which was just the right length, and I enjoyed it while looking at the ocean.

I took the city bus to the ranch, and the bus stop was close, so there were no issues. It was great to have the ocean right in front of me.

乗馬を体験したいと思いネットを検索したらこのページを見つけました。
送迎付きか迷いましたが、あまり本数がなく待ち時間が長そうだったので送迎はつけませんでした。

初めに、日本語のビデオで誘導の仕方などの説明があったので不安はありませんでした。
1時間コースを選びましたが丁度いい長さで、海を眺めながら楽しめました。

市バスで牧場に行きましたがバス停も近くて問題ありませんでした。
海も目の前なので良かったです。

You can make a reservation from the Kualoa website, but I was anxious about entering my credit card information on a first-time and overseas site, so I booked through this site from Japan. I scheduled my reservation for 10:45.

On the day of the visit, I purchased a one-day pass for THE BUS from Waikiki and took the No. 8 bus to Ala Moana Center around 8 AM. I got off at Ala Moana Bl + Ala Moana Center and took the No. 55 bus from the bus stop right in front. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, I arrived at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp Kualoa Ranch at 9:30.

I passed through the front shop and handed my voucher at a kind of general counter. The lady at the reception said, "Eleven forty," and I thought, "11:45? But my reservation is for 10:45!" I kept saying, "No! Ten forty!" but she kept responding with "Eleven forty." I was frustrated, but since I could only speak basic English, I had no choice but to back down. I spent a wasted two hours eating a hamburger in the cafeteria and taking pictures with horses.

At 11:45, there was a simple horseback riding explanation in Japanese video. We started riding around noon, wandering through the mountains. It was a mountain and sea course for one hour, but mostly on mountain paths. However, it was a fun hour.

The weather was just right for this time of year, and I was perfectly fine in a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sneakers. However, it might be cold if it rains. Also, be careful as the raincoats they lend you are dirty.

I thought the start time was strange, and when I returned to the hotel and checked the voucher on the site, it said, "Check-In Time: 10:45." In small letters above it, it said, "Kualoa Ranch Horseback Ride/11:45." The receptionist was correct!

However, I was sure I had booked for 10:45 on VELTRA, so I checked the Kualoa Ranch page on the VELTRA site.

When I clicked on the start time of 10:45 on the application screen, it said, "Check in at the Kualoa Ranch ticket office at 10:15," "Enjoy your horseback riding time at 10:45," "There will be a Japanese video briefing," and "Activity ends at 11:45."

Something seems off...

...I got it!

When you book for 10:45, the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:15, and if the start time on the site is 11:45, then the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:45.

It’s unclear whether there was a communication issue from VELTRA to Kualoa or if my reservation for 10:45 was full and pushed to 11:45. If the card you receive in exchange for the voucher is for 11:45, then after going to the stables at 11:45 and a 10-minute explanation, the horseback riding time would be from 12:00 to 1:00.

The horseback riding and atmosphere were ★★★★★, the cafeteria was not clean ★★★, the price of $88 without transportation was too high ★★, and the man at the entrance information counter could speak a little Japanese ★★★.

With 1.5 hours of bus travel + 2 hours of waiting + 1.5 hours of horseback riding (including explanation) + 1.5 hours of bus travel + 0.5 hours of bus waiting, the total is 7 hours! Just one hour of horseback riding took 7 hours! Considering the precious travel time, the cost performance is ★. Overall ★★.

The bus indeed takes time.

It might be best to rent a car and visit Kualoa + Polynesian + North Shore in the morning, or Kualoa + Kailua (Lanikai) + Sea Life Park + Blowhole in the morning.

I apologize for the lengthy message.

何かおかしい…

…わかりました！

開始時刻10:45で申し込むとVOUCHERのCheck-In Timeが10:15になり、
サイトの開始時刻を11:45とするとVOUCHERのCheck-In Timeが10:45になるワケ。

長々と失礼しました。

It was our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We used this tour to visit Kualoa Ranch, which has been a filming location for Jurassic Park and many other movies! Compared to many other tour companies, this one was more affordable, and the experience was the same.

We boarded a large bus at the pickup location (our hotel) in the morning, and since it was early, everyone on the bus was sleeping. During the ride, we filled out a survey for our desired activities, and upon arrival, we were given a schedule for the day. Each person then went to the designated meeting points for their chosen activities.

We chose the movie location tour, jungle exploration, and ocean voyage tour. On the movie location tour, we were able to take photos next to that famous tree from Jurassic Park. The Japanese explanations at various filming points were very clear and helpful. The jungle exploration was guided in English, but it was still enjoyable even with a basic understanding! Here, we were taken to several filming locations, which were different from those on the movie location tour, and personally, I found this part to be even more impressive. The ocean voyage involved getting on a boat and heading out to sea, where we saw many sea turtles, which was truly satisfying. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, so it would have been even more amazing if it had been sunny!

Horseback riding and the buggies also looked like a lot of fun. I would love to use this tour again!

新婚旅行でのはじめてのハワイでした。
ジュラシックパーク、ワールドや数々の映画のロケ地になっているクアロアランチにこちらのツアーを利用して行ってきました！たくさんのツアー会社のものと比較してもこちらの方が割安！体験内容も変わりありません。
朝迎えの大型バスにピックアップ場所（滞在ホテルでした）で乗り込み、クアロアランチへ。朝早いのもありバスの中はみんな寝ています。バスの中で希望するアクティビティのアンケートを取り、現地に到着した際に1日の予定表を渡され、各自で各アクティビティの集合場所に行き体験するといった感じでした。
我々は、映画ロケ地ツアーとジャングル探検、オーシャンボヤージツアーを選択。映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークで有名なあの木の側で写真が撮れます。また様々な撮影ポイントで日本語の説明をしてくれるのでとてもわかりやすかったです。ジャングル探検では英語ガイドでしたがなんとなくの理解でも楽しめます！ここでも数カ所ロケ地に案内されますが、どれもロケ地ツアーとは別のところで個人的にはこちらの方が凄かったです。オーシャンボヤージも船にのり海に出ますが、船上からウミガメが沢山見れ本当に満足いくものでした。天気があいにくの曇り空でしたので、晴れていたらもっと素晴らしかったことでしょう！
乗馬や、バギーもとても楽しそうでした。また利用させていただきたいです。
