I used this service for my honeymoon. We started by going out to sea on a boat, first heading to the sandbar where we enjoyed beach volleyball, snorkeling practice, and taking photos. After that, we had hamburgers on the boat and moved to a snorkeling spot.

The luggage could be stored under the seats on the boat. Since you'll be getting wet when taking towels or accessing your belongings after coming out of the water, I recommend bringing a bag that can get wet. For changing, I wore my swimsuit underneath, so I stored the clothes I wore on the boat under the seat. A bag that can hold clothes without getting them wet would be ideal.

The water at the sandbar was waist-deep, and I had a great time. The color of the water clearly distinguished between the sandbar and the deeper areas, which made it easy to enjoy. The crew really pumped up the excitement during beach volleyball, making it a lot of fun. The hamburgers were delicious and served BBQ style. Soft drinks were unlimited as part of the tour fee, while alcohol was $8 per drink, and those who had drinks settled their bills at the end of the tour.

We were able to see many sea turtles and mantas during our travels. It seems that mantas might not be visible at certain times, so we were lucky to see them twice. We snorkeled near the coral and saw many beautifully colored fish. Although I didn't see any, some people did spot turtles. The crew's explanation of snorkeling was very easy to understand, so even beginners will be fine.

After getting off the boat, we had to return to it on our own, so I think it's safer for anyone not confident in their stamina to wear a life jacket to enjoy the experience without worry. After returning from snorkeling, the crew pours warm water over you. There are no changing rooms or showers after the tour, so it's a good idea to quickly change in the restroom before it gets cold or to wrap yourself in a thicker towel.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
船で海に出て最初はサンドバーへ行き、ビーチバレーや、シュノーケリングの練習、写真撮影等楽しみました。そのあと船の上でハンバーガーを食べ、シュノーケリングスポットに移動しました。
荷物は船の座席の下に収納できるようになっていました。
海から上がってきて濡れた状態でタオルをとったり荷物を出し入れするので濡れてもいいカバンを持って行くのがいいと思います。
着替えは下に水着を着て行くので船の上で着ていた服を脱いで席の下に収納します。濡れないように服も入れられる大きさのカバンがいいと思います。
サンドバーは水面が腰あたりでしたがとても楽しめました。水の色がサンドバーのところと深いところとはっきりわかれているので安心して楽しめました。
ビーチバレーはクルーの方がとても盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーはBBQスタイルで美味しかったです。
ソフトドリンクはツアーの料金内で飲み放題、アルコールは1杯8ドルで飲んだ方はツアーの最後にまとめてお会計されていました。
移動中にウミガメやマンタをたくさん見ることができました。
マンタは時期によっては見れないこともあるそうで2回も見れてラッキーとのことでした。
シュノーケリングはサンゴの近くに行って行いました。
キレイな色のお魚がたくさん見れました。
私は見れませんでしたがカメが見れた人もいました。
クルーの方のシュノーケリングの説明はとてもわかりやすかったので初めてでも大丈夫です。
船から出てからは自分たちで船に戻らないといけないので体力に自信がある方以外はライフジャケットを着た方が安心して楽しめると思います。
シュノーケリングから戻ったらクルーの方が温かいお湯を上からかけてくれます。
終了後更衣室やシャワー室はないので寒くなる前にトイレ等でささっと着替えるか上から厚めのバスタオルを羽織るといいと思います。

My daughter (6 years old) was super excited to ride a four-wheeler for the first time. We were caught in an unexpected downpour halfway through, but the thrill of splashing through the puddles was amazing, making it a unique experience. She also said she had a great time and was very satisfied!

初めて乗る四輪バギーに大興奮の娘（6歳）。
途中から想定外の大雨に見舞われましたが、それはそれで水溜まりを跳ね上げる迫力がすごくて、なかなか出来ない体験になりました。
娘も、楽しかったー！！と大満足でした。

We participated as a family with our 6-year-old daughter. Seeing the dolphins swim and jump according to the trainer's commands right in front of us was incredibly exciting for her. We also had the opportunity to touch the dolphins, which was a very valuable experience. The photo with the dolphins captured the best smiles!

6歳の娘連れで家族で参加しました。
目の前でイルカが調教師の指示通りに泳いだり飛んだりする光景を見れて娘も大興奮。
イルカに触れさせてもらうことも出来、とても貴重な体験が出来ました。
イルカとのツーショットも最高の笑顔でした！

It was a very fun atmosphere! It was a bit cold, and we ended up leaving early, but they gave us warm cocoa and poured hot water on us, which helped ease the chill a bit! We also got to see sea turtles and manta rays! It was enjoyable to see small fish up close too! It turned out to be a great honeymoon! Thank you! Lastly, there was a tip box at the end, so it felt like we should put in a little something.

とても楽しい雰囲気でよかった！少し寒くて、はやめにあがってしまったけど、暖かいココアくれたり、お湯をかけてくれたりしてくれて、少し寒さ軽減！
ウミガメもみれて、マンタ？もみれました！
小さい魚も近くで見れて楽しかった！
良いハネムーンになりまた！ありがとうございますした！
最後にtipをはらう箱があったので、気持ちほど入れてくださいって感じでした！

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

マノアの滝に向かう道は勾配があったけど、ガイドのアノイさんが適度に休憩してくれて、フォトスポットでは芸術的な写真を撮ってくれて大満足のツアーでした。とても楽しめました。またタンタラスで食べたサンドイッチも美味しくてとてもお得なツアーだと思います。次回はこちらの違うアクティビティに参加したいと思いました。
ただ、ツアー前にツアー会社で買ったブレスレットが翌日壊れてしまったので⭐︎4つにしました。気に入ったデザインだったのでとても残念です。

The weather was wonderful, and it was a horseback riding experience while looking at the beautiful cobalt blue sea. I'm glad I was able to spend such a lovely time. I think it would have been even better if I had a little more time in Haleiwa Town.

お天気に恵まれ、美しいコバルトブルーの海を見ながらの乗馬体験でしたとてもステキな時間を過ごす事が出来て良かったです。ハレイワタウンでの時間がもう少しあれば尚、良かったと思います。

It was my family's first time visiting Oahu Hawaii AND our first time riding horseback. And what a way to lose our horseback riding virginity! The Ranch was amazing, our guides were amazing and there's even a little petting Zoo that you can feed the goats while you wait for your tour to commence. Highly recommended!

It was my family's first trip to Oahu, Hawaii. This was recommended to us by a friend. And it most certainly didn't disappoint. The drive there was amazing, the actual Ranch is incredible & our tour guides were so much fun and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommended. You can also do horse back riding, cycling and a few other activities, but the self drive ATV has to be the most fun!

The tour description stated that it would be in English only, but upon arrival, there was a complete explanation of Kualoa in Japanese. I was very grateful for that. I also received help when the locker wasn't working properly. The activities were great. The instructors were very friendly. I came to love horseback riding.

ツアーの説明では、英語のみとなっていたが、到着後にクアロアの全体説明が日本語であった。とてもありがたかった。ロッカーがうまく作動しない時も助けてもらえた。アクティビティはさいかでした。インストラクターはとてもフレンドリーでした。乗馬が好きになりました。

Our kids had a blast, not sure if I would do this if I had older kids / adults, as the views were okay!

Facing my fear was so worth it, the experience was so thrilling and the sharks are so cute once your up close!

Gorgeous crystal clear water the entire boat ride. Pack your sunscreen though the sun was hot!!

So many lovely sights we got to see! Unforgettable.

The luau was full of jokes and lots of laughing. Best medicine!!

We would love to munch at this buffet again, everything was so flavorful! The evening was a wonderful experience.

This farm was awesome, and so close to Haleiwa to jump over after. Get a car and come up here, it is so fun!!

We loved this tour! We saw SO MUCH all in one day! The morning view at the Blowhole is worth getting up early! We were treated to an extra exciting Honu (turtle) sighting! The North Shore area is still a beautiful gem on the island, quintessential Hawaii. The Temple and Waimea Falls were welcome peaceful hideaways, away from the Honolulu city vibe. The surrounding mountains are majestic! We learned quite a lot about Hawaiian history and culture. We tasted SO MANY Hawaiian delicious delights- Leonard’s masadas, North Shore shrimp, macadamia nuts, fresh farm fruits, Matsuto’s shave ice, Dole Whip! My mouth is watering,

Hawaii weather is perfect! Sure there is a little rain, but the rainbows afterwards are so beautiful!

The bus is comfortable. We didn’t have to deal with driving or finding parking. Our tour guide was an excellent driver!

Our tour guide also shared some beautiful personal stories of his life and family in Hawaii. My girls were especially touched by his pineapple farming memories.

The staff members cheerfully dispel any worries with their smiles and conversations, creating a fun atmosphere. I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) as well, and I was especially moved by the beauty of the white sand and blue sea. There's no need to hold back, even if you're older; it's enjoyable!

スタッフの皆さんが笑顔と話しで不安を吹っ飛ばし、楽しく盛り上げてくれます。
ホヌにもしっかり会えましたし、何より白い砂と碧い海の美しさに感動です。
年配でも遠慮は不要、楽しいです！

I was very satisfied as I got to see the ocean, the mountains, and plenty of movie filming locations!!! The horses were very smart, and I felt safe riding them☺︎ I want to participate again!!

海も、山も、映画のロケ地も、たっぷり見られて大満足でした！！！馬も非常に賢くて、安心して乗馬することもできました☺︎また参加したいです！！

In the past, I participated in a package tour that allowed us to enjoy multiple activities in one day, but we decided that this Ocean Voyage was the most fun, so if you're going, this is the one to choose! It feels great to move forward while experiencing the wind and splashes of the waves out in Kaneohe Bay, and I think it's an experience you can't easily find elsewhere. Horseback riding and the luau tour are also good, but this is definitely the best! Along the way, the instructor explained about the plants and fruits before boarding, and even after we got on, they took a lot of photos in various poses. I highly recommend it!

過去に1日で複数のアクティビティを楽しむパッケージツアーに参加したのですが、私達はこのオーシャンボヤージが1番楽しかったので、行くならこれだ！と決めておりました。カネオヘ湾の沖まで風と波しぶきを受けながら進むのはとても気持ちが良く、他ではなかなか経験できないと思います。乗馬やラプターツアーも良いのですがやはりこれが1番です! 途中インストラクターの方が乗船する迄の間も植物や果物の説明をしてくださったり、乗船してからもいろいろなパターンで写真を沢山撮って下さいます。とてもオススメです。

It was not the best weather day… raining but it cleared when we boarded the boat to Kaneohe bay. The trip was pleasant with warm welcoming, music, and a light but satisfying breakfast. The crew were amazing. So helpful and very knowledgeable and safety conscientious.
The snorkeling was beyond our expectations and the day out on the sandbar was such fun with the crew being extremely attentive to our needs.
We had an amazing day . Can’t wait to do it again

The female instructor was friendly and supportive, making the tour very enjoyable. At several points, we were able to take photos, and we took breaks to avoid getting tired, which was reassuring. By pedaling and moving around myself, I was able to truly appreciate the vastness of Kualoa. Along the way, we also visited a tunnel where panels introduced the movies filmed at Kualoa. We even took videos using a jeep that resembled something out of Jurassic Park, which became a wonderful memory. I participated in an ATV tour in the past, and I had a great time again this time.

インストラクターの女性が気さくで優しくフォローしてくれたので、とても楽しいツアーになりました。いくつかのポイントで写真を撮って頂いたり､疲れない様に休憩も取りながら走るので安心です。自分で漕いで動き回ったのでクアロアの広さを改めて実感できました。途中、クアロアで撮影が行われた映画ごとにパネルで紹介されているトンネル？のようなところも見学できました。そこに置いてあるジープを使ってジュラシックパークさながらの動画も撮って頂き、とても思い出になりました。過去にATVツアーに参加しましたが今回もとても楽しめました。

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.

I participated in December. I didn't have high expectations, but horseback riding in the wonderful scenery where you can see both the sea and the mountains was a valuable experience. It was very exciting to ride up the mountain slopes. I was almost a beginner at horseback riding, but I was able to ride for two hours without any issues.

There are various movie filming locations along the course, so I think movie lovers will enjoy it even more.

Although I participated in December, the weather was nice, and it was quite hot for the two hours. I recommend applying sunscreen if you decide to participate. Also, the person accompanying us during the horseback riding was not Japanese, so all the explanations about the filming locations were in English. Since you are on the horse for two hours, if you're not used to it, your butt and thighs might get sore!

12月に参加しました。
あまり期待していませんでしたが、海も山も見える素晴らしい景色の中での乗馬は貴重な体験でした。馬に乗って山の斜面を登っていくのでとてもエキサイティングでした。
乗馬はほぼ初心者でしたが、2時間問題なく乗馬できました。
コースの途中に様々な映画のロケ地があるので、映画好きの方ならなお楽しめると思います。

12月の参加でしたが天気が良く、2時間なのでとても暑かったです。参加される場合は日焼け止めを塗るのをおすすめします。
また、乗馬で付き添ってくださる方は日本人ではないので、ロケ地の説明はすべて英語でした。
それから2時間ずっと馬の上なので慣れてないとお尻や股が痛くなります笑

Three days before the Honolulu Marathon, I was wondering if a two-hour horseback riding course would be too much. However, thanks to the very smart horses that knew the entire route and guided us expertly, I had a great time without feeling tired at all.

For a full two hours, we rode through the forest, enjoyed views of the ocean, and saw all the filming locations from Jurassic Park in the grassy valleys of the mountains.

There was plenty of time before and after, so we were able to do some shopping and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was a lot of food, so sharing between the two of us was more than enough.

Lockers are available for $5 a day, the restrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The staff is very friendly, and there was even a briefing in Japanese beforehand.

ホノルルマラソン3日前に、乗馬2時間コースは無謀かな？と思っていましたが、とてもお利口な馬が全てルートもわかっていて、上手に案内してくれたおかげで全く疲れる事なく本当に楽しめました。
2時間たっぷり、森を抜けて、海を眺め、山の谷間の草むらからジェラシックパークのロケ場所まで全て見る事ができましたよ。
前後に充分な時間もあるので、買い物をしたり、lunchも美味しく食べました。多かったのでふたりでシェアで充分でした。
ロッカーは1日5ドル、トイレも清潔でクーラーも効いており申し分ありません。
スタッフも皆親切です。日本語での事前説明もありました。

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.

Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!

After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハレイワに行ってガーリックシュリンプを食べたいなぁと思っていた時に見つけたこちらのツアー。乗馬もしてみたいなと以前から思っており、海辺で乗馬なんて素敵！と思い申し込みました。
日本語ガイドのカズさんは行きの車内で明るくお話して下さり、車窓からの景色の紹介をしてくださいました。ツアーに参加されたメンバーの方も良い方ばかりで、ハネムーンというと拍手して下さいました。乗馬はやんちゃなお馬さんだったのか前へ前へと進んで最初は怖かったのですが、途中から慣れて楽しく過ごせました。インストラクターの方も2人ついてきちんとみて下さるので安心でした。途中写真も沢山撮ってくださいました！ハレイワに戻ってからはカズさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプのフードトラックへ。電話をかけて下さっていたおかげで美味しいガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べられました。そのおかげで時間も余裕ができ、マツモトシェイブアイスにも行け、雑貨屋さんなども楽しめました。帰りは集合場所でなく、ホテルの近くまでそれぞれ送ってくださいました。素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました！

You can feel the Christmas Season riding in the open air bus. Me and my family had a great experience. Love the music playing so much. Thank you!

First of all, there was no guidance in Japanese from start to finish. The dining setup was not at individual tables but rather at a long table for more than ten people. We attended as a couple, and instead of having reserved seats, we were guided to sit in order, side by side rather than across from each other. As soon as we sat down, drinks were served, but it seemed there was a set time for the meal, so we couldn't eat right away. There was one pineapple slice for every four people, so we passed the time eating that, but honestly, it wasn't sweet or particularly tasty. The buffet was served in order based on instructions. I thought the food was delicious. I was surprised by how rare the roast beef was! The dessert was also tasty. The show during the meal was good, partly because it was close! After the meal, we moved to the theater, but I wasn't sure when to move or which seats were ours. I entered the theater based on the flow of people, and once inside, we were also guided to our seats in order. Since we entered early, we ended up with pretty good seats! There was no information or stickers given to us. Even though we didn't know Elvis, we had a great time at the show. After it ended, we had the opportunity to take photos with the cast, and we took plenty without hesitation and left happily.

まず、日本語での案内等最初から最後まで一切ありません。食事は個別のテーブルではなく、10人以上の長テーブルで、夫婦で参加しましたが、予約席というか、順番に席をはじから案内され、向かい席でなく隣で並んで座りました。座ってすぐにドリンクが出ましたが、食事は決まった時間があるようでなかなか食べられなく、４人に１つパイナップルが置いてあるので一切れですがこれを食べながら時間をつぶしました、正直これは甘くもなく美味しいとは言えません。ビュッフェは順番に指示があってから取りに行きます。味については美味しいと思います。ローストビーフの生すぎるのには驚きました！デザートも美味しかったです。食事中のショーも近かったせいもあるが良かったです！食後にシアターに移動ですが、これがいつ移動したらいいのか、どの席なのかわからなかったです。人の流れを見て自分の判断でシアターに入ると、中に人がいて、ここでも順番に席を案内されました。早めに入ったせいかなかなかいい席でした！何かステッカーをもらうとか案内をもらうとか何もありません。ショーはエルビスを知らない我々でも大変楽しかったです。終了後、キャスターとの写真撮影が可能で、遠慮せずドンドン撮って楽しく帰りました。
