By far the funnest way to see Kualoa Ranch and breathtaking views of this side of Oahu. This activity is hand's-on and not for the faint at heart. Easy-instruction for first time ATV riders. There's just enough photo-op's along the way, and plenty of rugged trail riding to keep you engaged. Much mahalo to our guide, Molly, who took our strong group of 6 through twists and turns, and then queued a light rain at the end!

We participated as a family of four, consisting of a couple in their 50s, a daughter in her first year of university, and a son in his first year of high school. Although there were no dropouts, the guide had a bit of a hard time with our daughter, who is more into cultural activities. Well, that just shows how attentive the guide was. The brakes are similar to those of a scooter, but the throttle is operated by a lever controlled by the right thumb, which was a new experience for us. My wife also struggled with this.
The ride had a relaxed atmosphere throughout, but if you wanted to, you could reach speeds of up to 20 km/h, which I think adds to the excitement. It was also great to see the ocean suddenly appear when we crossed the mountain!
50前後の夫婦に大学一年の娘と高校一年の息子、総勢4人で参加しました。棄権者はいなかったものの文化系の娘にガイドさんは手をやいてました。まぁ、それだけ面倒見が良いということです。ブレーキは原付きバイクと同じですがアクセルが右手親指によるレバー操作というのが未体験。家内もこれに手こずってました。
終始のんびりムードのライドでしたが、その気になれば20kmまでのスピードは出せるので迫力あると思います。
また山越えの時にドーンとうみが見えたのも良かったです!

Not enough kayaks or paddle boards for the amount of people there.
There needs to be some kind of system to check out the kayaks and the boards.
Three local girls were on the paddle boards for 2.5 hrs and didn't let anyone else use them.

Enjoyed it, it was nice. It's worth the money for the SUP and the kayaking. However, not the snorkeling.
Water is too murky for it.
I think it would be good to allow the swimmers to sign a release to not have to wear a life jacket. The area they give you to paddle and kayak on is limited and very close to the shore area.

We participated as a family of four, including two children (a third-year middle school student and a fourth-year elementary school student). We joined a movie location tour and a visit to Secret Island.
During the movie location tour, a Japanese guide explained the places used for filming movies and commercials while showing us the breathtaking spots on Oahu. The view of the coastline from the mountains was particularly stunning.
At Secret Island, we were able to casually experience various ocean activities, and the kids were very satisfied. They tried sea kayaking and paddling on a longboard for the first time. While opinions may vary, I appreciated that it wasn't a system where someone teaches you; instead, the equipment was just laid out for us to use freely, making it a very relaxed experience.

映画ロケ地めぐりのツアーとシークレットアイランドに参加しました。
映画ロケ地めぐりは日本語ガイドさんが、映画・CM撮影などに使われた場所を説明しながら、オアフ島の絶景スポットを案内してくれました。特に、山から見る、海岸線の景色が最高でした
また、シークレットアイランドでは、色々な海のアクティビティーを気軽に体験できて、子供は大満足。シーカヤック、ロングボードを使ったパドリング等を初めて体験。人によって意見は分かれるかもしれませんが、誰かが教えてくれるというシステムではなく、道具がただおいてあるだけなので、それを使って自由に使いながら体験するといった大変気軽なシステムだったところも良かったです。

There are lines where you can see the ocean too, and seven lines just aren't enough!

Since I had only played in the ocean in Hawaii, I was interested in horseback riding this time and tried it for the first time. I participated in a one-hour horseback riding session with a group of about 15 people, mostly Japanese, riding in a line. We watched a safety video, chose our horses one by one, received a brief explanation of how to operate them, and then set off.
Along the way, the horses sometimes stopped to graze or for bathroom breaks. The view of Kualoa Beach and the mountains from the horse was amazing! Since it was a sport, my butt started to hurt towards the end, and I found one hour to be just right.
Since check-in was at 11:15, I had breakfast in Kailua after picking up a rental car in the morning and headed to Kualoa. The roads were easy to navigate, and it felt great to drive along the beach.
I arrived early, but there were dining options and souvenir shops, and I was able to see the horses up close and take photos, so it was good to arrive early. There was also a stray cat that was very cute.
ハワイでは海でしか遊んだ事が無かったので、今回乗馬に興味があり、初めて挑戦しました。
1時間の乗馬に参加し、グループはほぼ日本人で15人くらい1列になって山馬に乗ってを歩いて行きました。安全のビデオを見て、1人ずつ馬を選んでもらい、簡単な操作の説明を受けて出発しました。
途中馬が道草を食ったり、トイレの為に止まる事もあります。馬から見えるクアロアビーチや山の様子は最高でした‼︎
スポーツですので最後の方でお尻が痛くなり、私は1時間で丁度良かったです。
11:15チェックインという事でしたので、朝からレンタカーでカイルアで朝ごはんを食べ、クアロアへ向かいました。道も分かりやすく、ビーチ沿いに走っていくのでとても気持ち良かったです。
早めに着きましたが、食堂やお土産やさんがあり、そして馬を間近で見て写真撮影などが出来るので早めに着いて良かったです。
野良猫?がおりとても可愛らしかったです。

My Girlfriend and I went to Hawaii for our vacation and we really wanted to go zip lining. This was definitely one of the highlights to our vacation. It started out with a bus ride to the location of where we were going to zip line. The bus ride there was really great, we drove past some film locations from tv shows and movies. The actually zip lining was even better. The instructors were great and it was very. Watch out for the bug bites though.

It was my first time riding a buggy, and I was really nervous. The instructor must have noticed that I seemed a bit unsure, as they placed me right behind them! There was an accelerator on the right handle that I had to adjust with my thumb, but I couldn't do it at first... I was quite scared (laughs).
However, once I got used to it, it felt amazing! I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't go over 20 kilometers. Still, it's a tour that I think everyone should experience at least once!

Waikiki has a completely different atmosphere. Riding in the great outdoors was very refreshing. I was nervous before getting on the horse, but it seemed well-trained, and my anxiety disappeared shortly after I started riding. I enjoyed the beautiful nature while taking photos!
I wanted to see the filming locations for Jurassic Park and Lost, so I chose the 2-hour course this time, but I started to get a bit bored in the second half. One hour felt too short, while two hours felt a bit too long. In the latter part, I started to feel pain in my legs, probably because I was using muscles I don't usually use.
However, I was able to have an experience that I definitely can't have in Japan, and I'm satisfied!
ワイキキとは全く雰囲気が全く異なります。大自然の中、乗馬をするのはとても新鮮でした。
馬に乗るまでは緊張しましたが、よく調教されているようで、乗って間もなくその不安はなくなりました。写真を撮りながら、大自然を満喫しました!
ジュラシックパークとロストのロケ地を見たいと思い、今回は2時間コースにしましたが、後半はちょっと飽きてきてしまいました。1時間では物足りず、2時間では多いといった感じです。
後半は、普段つかわないきんにを使っているのか、足が痛くなってしまいました。
でも、日本では絶対にできない体験をすることができて、満足しています!

Riding a buggy was a first-time experience for me! Since I ride a motorcycle in Japan, I had no particular issues, but the problem was my wife who joined me. Unlike cars, driving a buggy requires a bit of strength in handling the steering wheel. My wife, who is not very strong, wobbled to the right and then to the left, and ultimately, we ended up taking a bus tour behind.
It was disappointing that we couldn't ride together, but the activity itself was a lot of fun, and it became a great memory as we got to see breathtaking views that you can't find in Japan! I hear there are horses available too, but I think the buggy offers a stronger sense of speed.
There is a two-hour course available, but I was satisfied with the one-hour ride! Also, the lever under the steering wheel is used to accelerate, but it was quite stiff, and my thumb hurt. In that sense, it might be a bit tough for women who aren't very strong. Of course, there were women who managed to keep up, though!
バギーは初体験でした!
日本ではバイクに乗っていることもあり、男の自分には特に問題なく乗る事が出来ましたが、問題は一緒に参加した嫁でした。
車などとは違い、ハンドルさばきに若干の力が必要です。
非力な嫁は右側にヨロヨロ、、左側にヨロヨロ、、
あえなく後ろからついてくるバスでの観光となりました。
一緒に走る事ができず残念でしたが、アクティビティそのものはとても楽しく、日本では見れない絶景を見ながら走る事ができ良い思い出になりました!
馬もあるようですが、こちらの方が疾走感が強いのでは?
2時間コースもありますが、自分的には1時間で満足でした!
後、ハンドル下のレバーを押す事でアクセルがかかるのですが、これが固くて親指が痛かったです。
そういった意味でも非力な女性にはちょっとキツいかも?もちろんついてくる女性もいましたが^^

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I was invited by my daughter to visit Kualoa for the first time. After having a fun conversation with the pickup staff, we arrived after about an hour on the bus. We participated in the location tour, a jeep tour, and a Kaneohe Bay cruise. The location tour was just as I imagined, and it was quite noisy as we were with a group from a training trip in Japan. The jeep tour was more enjoyable than I expected. Our driver, Mr. Leonald, provided easy-to-understand explanations and offered great service by taking photos at the stopping points. The cruise felt a bit like a way to kill time, but the ocean was very beautiful. I think Kualoa is a place worth visiting at least once to enjoy the great nature.

My wife & I love to do ATV tours every place we go on vacation, so needless to say, Hawaii was a must. The Kualoa Ranch is an incredibly beautiful location where many movies (although mostly subpar) have been filmed, and our guide was very knowledgeable & friendly, so no complaints there.
However, compared to other similar tours we've done, this one was much slower. At the beginning, they warn that it's a 12mph tour, and that's probably an accurate average. The ATVs aren't very powerful, so you'll be lucky if you even reach 20mph going down hill.
It started pouring on our tour, and we were ready with rain jackets, but if not, the instructor will provide clear plastic ponchos. This may be miserable to some, but it actually made it more fun and genuine for us, as we got to ride through puddles & mud in the pouring jungle.
In conclusion, I understand the goal is to make this a safe experience, and that everyone varies in terms of ATV skills, but maybe there should be should be a couple of level options (maybe 1-hour tours = easy, 2-hour tours = moderate?). I would consider my wife & I as average drivers, so by no means am I asking for a daredevil & speedy experience, but a little more pace would have gone a long way. Otherwise, this tour is a no-brainer experience, as it's one of the most beautiful places we've been.
