Oahu
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.
子供２人（中学３年、小学４年）を含む、家族４人で参加しました。
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。

Was a great first time experience for the whole family. Molly was a great guide!! Had so much fun driving and seeing the beautiful scenery. Would recommend it to everyone.
Wonderful, amazing wot can I say.. Ranch & countryside was beautiful, staff so helpful & a tribute to the Ranch and tours! Definitely would go back in a heartbeat, even from Ireland where we traveled from, well worth the time & effort:-)
My first zip line experience.
I felt the mountains and sky with my whole body, it was wonderful.
There are lines where you can see the ocean too, and seven lines just aren't enough!
We started with "3, 2, 1, Zip On!" I had no problem enjoying it with a little English.
Just be careful of mosquito bites.
初めてのジップライン。
山と空を全身で感じられ、キモチ良かったです。
海も見えるラインもあるし、7本じゃ足りないくらい！
「3,2,1,Zip On!」でスタート。全然 little English で問題なく楽しめました。
蚊に刺されるのは注意かな。

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。

Loved it! Great time in a beautiful area of Hawaii! Well trained and friendly staff to help along the way.
THIS WAS A 3 HR BEACH ADVENTURE WE WENT ON THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT RIDE AND SAW THE LARGE TURTLE THE GRANDCHILDREN LOVED THE OTHER ACTIVIES ON THE BEACH
MY GRANDCHILDREN WENT HORSEBAACK RIDING AND LOVED IT
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!
バギーに乗ることが初めてでドキドキでした。
私がダメそうなのを見抜いたのか、インストラクターの人は、私を真後ろにつけました！
右ハンドルにアクセルがあり、親指で微調整するのですが、初めは出来ず…ビビっていました(笑)
けど、慣れてきたら気持ちよくてたまりませんでした！もっと飛ばしたい気持ちにもなりましたが、20キロ以上は上がりません…
でも、１度は体験して欲しいツアーです！

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！

Very enjoyable tour , had a great time we did the ocean tour , the movie site tour & the jungle tour . The movie site tour was our favourite and the lunch was fantastic
I was worried about whether I could enjoy it since I heard there would be few people, but they could speak simple Japanese, and for difficult explanations, they provided a written note in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it enough.
少ないとの事だったので楽しめるかどうか不安だったのですが、簡単な日本語なら話してくれるし、難しい説明は日本語を書いた紙を渡してくれるので、十分楽しめました。

This time, my mother and I participated in the experience tour, while my husband and sister's family joined the buggy tour. We all participated in the garden tour and the movie village tour. Each of them was incredibly fun, thanks to the guide who really energized the experience. My mother, in her 70s and on her first overseas trip, usually quiet, even asked the guide questions on her own. We were very satisfied with all the tours.
今回は母と私がエクスペリエンスツアーで、主人や姉親子はバギーツアーに参加しました。全員で参加したのはガーデンツアーや映画村ツアー。どれもこれもガイドさんがめちゃくちゃ盛り上げて下さり本当に楽しかったです。70代の母も初めての海外旅行で、しかも普段は無口なのに自分からガイドさんに質問したりして。どのツアーも大満足でした。

It was a 2-hour course.
It was really wonderful and pleasant to enjoy the mountains, sea, and great nature, and I had a lot of fun.
The instructor was also amazing, very friendly and kind, and I definitely want to recommend it.
2時間のコースでした。
山や海、大自然を見ながらすごく素敵で気持ちよくて、楽しかったです。
インストラクターもすごく、フレンドリーで優しくて、ぜひオススメしたいです。

my first time on a zip line - and this was FABULOUS!! 7 zips and 2 suspension bridges! My husband and I loved it!
Our guides really made it worth while for us. It was already a spectacular experience but I feel the bunch assigned to us really wanted it to be a fun filled adventure beyond what we expected. Kudos to Amy, Alicia, Seth and Eric for our zip lining guides and Erica our horseback riding tour guides. Ask for them And have a blast! Mahalo guys. I miss Hawaii already! Xoxo, Naj&Raj
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.
ハワイ６度目にして、娘に誘われクアロアに始めて行きました。
ピックアップのスタッフと楽しく話しながら、バスに揺られて一時間程で到着しました。
ロケ地めぐりとジープツアー、カネオヘ湾クルーズに参加しました。
ロケ地めぐりは想像通りで、日本の研修旅行の団体と一緒になって、うるさかったです。
ジープツアーが思った以上に楽しかったです。ドライバーのMr.Leonaldの説明が分かり易く、途中の停車ポイントでも写真を撮ってくれたりサービス満点でした。
クルーズは時間つぶしの感がありましたが、海がとても綺麗でした。
クアロアの大自然を満喫して一度は行っても良い場所だと思いました。

I was able to see the scenery I saw in the movie.
There was an explanation in Japanese, so it was easy to understand.
I was able to return in the evening, so I could schedule something else for the night.
映画で見た景色を見ることができました。
日本語の説明があったので、わかりやすかったです。
夕方には帰ってこれたので、夜に別の予定も入れられました。

The staff is really really nice !!
They are So many things to do ( snorkelling / paddle / games ...)
This is really not expensive for all that.
The weather wasn't really good this day but still had a great great time
ATV tour was great fun with spectacular views. In previous years we have done the horseback riding tour and the Pinzgauer 4wd tours which were also very good.
Our guides were friendly and helpful. We rode along trails with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. Kualoa is a very scenic area
This is my several times visiting Hawaii. I usually do marine sports, but this time I participated in the Kualoa Tour for the first time. I wasn't expecting much, but I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I was able to relax and take my time. My elementary school children also said they want to go again! Next time, I want to ride a horse.
何度目かのハワイ。いつもはマリンスポーツ系だったのですが、今回初めてクアロアツアーに参加。あんまり期待していなかった？のですが、壮大なる自然に圧倒。悠々として、時間ものんびりすごせました。小学生の子供たちもまた行きたい！と。今度は馬に乗りたいです

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.
First time ziplining and it wont be my last. Joshua britney and eric were great and fun. Instructive. The whole package!.. Couldnt be happier. I shall return!! -jesse breedlove del rio-
When I first saw the horse, I felt scared because of its size, but once I got on, it was very smart and I was totally fine. The scenery was absolutely stunning. After two hours, my backside started to hurt a bit, though. (laughs) The hamburger and onion rings were incredibly satisfying and very delicious!
最初に馬を見た時は、大きさに怖いなぁと感じたけれど、乗ったらとっても賢くて全然大丈夫でした。
とにかく素晴らしい景色に感動です。さすがに2時間だと後半はお尻が痛くなります。笑
ハンバーガー&オニオンリングは食べ応え抜群で、とても美味しかったです♪

We had an awesome experience zip lining at Kualoa Ranch. The zip lines were fun and the guides also made the experience a time to remember. We would definitely try this again in the future.
This activity was very fun and interesting. We were able to see the beauty of the inner island of oahu. The guide was very interactive and informative about the history and events that occurred at Kualoa Ranch.
Wonderful experience! The guides also introduced the culture and history of Hawaii.
