Kualoa Ranch is clearly the best choice for outdoor adventures in Oahu. So much fun from start to finish! The farm, jungle, and movie locations tours were spectacular. Mahalo

The fun really starts when you get on the nice air conditioned bus. Our host on the bus was hilarious all the way to our destination. The show is in a wetnwild but honestly I forgot about half way to the beginning of the show. The food was good and the dancers were better. The chief was also a funny man and although you do get this amazing entertainment, you also get a little bit of history of the people of the islands. Overall it was a great show. We even got a souvenir

Although it was rainy at Kualoa, the weather here was great, and the staff were wonderful too. We were able to see many sea turtles, and I'm grateful to the staff.

クアロアは雨でしたが、こちらは天気も良く最高（スタッフも）でした。ウミガメも沢山見られてスタッフに感謝です。

The movie tour was fantastic! It was beautiful and interesting. The tour guide was entertaining and engaging!
It was interesting to walk through the old WW II bunker and to hear the history of the area.
Thank you for a great experience!

We had a fabulous time. We got wet, laughed, saw a beautiful sunset & back in time to see the fireworks. The crew was excellent. Highly recommend them!!!

Great experience. Tour driver Cindy was very knowlegeable and accommodating.

I had a wonderful time that perfectly matched the image of Hawaii!

During snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle. I regretted not having a waterproof case for my smartphone to capture the moment, but it was truly moving to see it up close.

Although the number of stand-up paddleboards was limited, the staff was considerate and checked in with those using them for a long time. I felt it was great how they ensured everyone could enjoy themselves!

It seems that the sandbar doesn't appear depending on the tide, so I recommend checking the low tide times in advance before making a reservation.

これぞハワイというイメージ通りで素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました！

シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることが出来ました。
スマホの防水ケースを持っていれば撮影できたのに...と少し後悔しましたが、間近に見ることができてとても感動的でした。
サップの数も限られていましたが、スタッフの方が気を利かせて長時間使用している方に声掛けしてくれました。全員が楽しめるよう配慮されていて、素晴らしいと感じました！

潮位によってはサンドバーは出ないらしいので、干潮の時間を予め調べたうえで予約することをお勧めします。

We were blessed with very nice weather and felt the impressive submarine and pleasant sea breeze as we moved towards the submarine. Everything was wonderful! It was the best dream-like experience! Both my mother and child were very satisfied, and after getting off, they were excited, saying, "We saw sea turtles! There were so many fish!"

It was a unique world, different from regular snorkeling, almost like a movie. The explanations were in English, delivered by a lively and entertaining host, while my mother and child enjoyed the commentary in Japanese that they had downloaded in advance.

This is a tour that I definitely recommend trying at least once!

とても良い気候に恵まれ、迫力のある潜水艦と気持ちの良いシーブリーズを感じながら潜水艦へと移動する船。
すべてが気持ちよかったです！最高の夢のような体験でした！
母も子供も大満足で、降りた後も海亀に会えたね！お魚さんたち沢山いたね！と興奮していました(^^)
貴重なシュノーケリングとはまた違う映画のような世界でした。
説明は英語でお姉さんの迫力あり、笑いありの楽しいホストと、母と子供は事前にダウンロードしておいた日本語音声で解説を楽しんでいました。
ぜひ一度は乗ってみてほしい、体験してほしいツアーでした！

This cruise was amazing, the whole crew were very nice and patient, the sandbar is incredible. I was traveling with my whole family: a toddler and elderly people and they all enjoyed it, fully recommend it!!

This was an excellent start to a seven-day island excursion. Enjoyed every aspect of the journey including the boat ride to and from. The submarine crew did an excellent job of insuring that viewers on both sides of the vessel got to see the same sights. Fish of all size, turtles, and even eels all clearly visible coupled with insightful commentary from a comedic crew member.

I participated with my daughter! The Japanese staff provided explanations, which made us feel at ease. We also took a lot of photos! The lunch included delicious hamburgers.

We were able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was very beautiful! My 10-year-old daughter had her first snorkeling experience, and she had no problems at all. She was amazed to see so many fish during her first snorkeling adventure!

One downside was that it was quite windy, and we felt a bit cold. If you participate, it might be a good idea to bring an extra towel or jacket just in case.

娘と二人で参加！
日本人のスタッフさんが、説明等をしてくれたので安心でした。写真も沢山撮って頂きました！ランチも美味しいハンバーガーを頂きました。

ウミガメも見れましたし、サンドバーもとても綺麗！
スノーケリングは、10歳の娘が初体験でしたが、全く問題なく、初めてのスノーケリングで沢山の魚を見れて、感動していました！

一つ残念なのは、かなり風が強くて寒さを感じました。
参加される時は、念のため、タオルや上着は、もう一枚プラスでも良いかもしれません。

The water was very clear and beautiful. I had the best time encountering turtles multiple times while snorkeling!

水の透明度が高く非常にキレイでした。
シュノーケリング中に何度もカメにも出会えて最高の時間でした！

I was scheduled to be picked up in front of DFS at 9:25 AM (the van arrived more than 10 minutes late). After that, we went around several hotels in the Waikiki area, including the Marriott, and for some reason, at 10:25 AM, I was taken to a travel agency office just a minute's walk from DFS, where I was shown souvenirs.

I felt there was absolutely no need to stop by the office, and if they really wanted to make a stop there, it would have been better to gather everyone at the office at 10:25 AM instead. If they are considering Japanese tourists as well, I think they should improve the logistics in that regard.

Visiting Manoa Falls and Tantalus was worthwhile, and the pastrami for lunch was delicious. However, since I wasted an hour in the morning, it left a very negative impression of the tour.

9時25分にDFS前でピック予定(10分以上遅れてバンが到着)、その後ワイキキ中心部のマリオット等いくつかホテルを周り、なぜか10時25分にはDFSから徒歩1分の旅行会社オフィスなるところに連れて行かれてお土産を見させられました。
オフィスに寄る必要を全く感じなかったですし、どうしてもオフィスに寄らせたいのであれば、そこに10時25分集合でよかったのではないでしょうか。
日本人も対象に考えられているのであれば、その辺りのロジはきちんとした方がいいと思います。

マノアの滝とタンタラスの丘自体は行って良かったです、ランチのパストラミも美味しかったです。
しかし朝から1時間無駄にされたので、幸先悪く非常に印象の悪いツアーとなってしまいました。

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to enjoy it due to the strong winds and cloudy skies since the morning, but my 70-year-old mother was able to get on the SUP and move around on the water, which was great to see.

強風と朝からの曇天で楽しめるか心配でしたが、70歳の母もSUPにまたがり、海の上を移動したり、楽しめたようで何よりでした。

You can see sea turtles, and the scenery is amazing! Above all, the staff was wonderful. Thank you for the best time! Don't worry if you're not good at snorkeling; the staff will teach you properly! I definitely want to go again!

海亀にも会えるし、景色は最高‼️
何よりスタッフが超ステキでした。最高のひと時をありがとう
シュノーケリングが上手くできなくても大丈夫！
ちゃんとスタッフが教えてくれますよ！

また、絶対に行きたいです！

We had an enjoyable day out. The weather wasn’t very favourable but the team still did an outstanding job. Lunch was cooked fresh and was very nice. We didn’t snorkel but looks like all had a great time.
The only thing I would change is we had 2 boats tied together and it made for a lot of flippers in the water, looked very crowded around the reef. I’m saying that, the team always kept their eyes on the job and communicated together at all times.
Great job done by all.

On the day we visited, the Tornado was closed for maintenance, and it seemed that due to a staff shortage, only about three other slides were being opened alternately. It might have been because it was a weekday, but the park itself closed at 3 PM. I was hoping to enjoy a few more slides since it was a weekday, so I was a bit disappointed.

ちょうど私たちが訪れた日は、トルネードがメンテナンス中でクローズ、それ以外のスライダーも人手不足なのか、3つくらいを順番に交互に解放しているようでした。曜日的に平日と言うこともあるかもしれませんが、パーク自体も午後3時で閉園でした。平日なのでもう少し色々なスライダーを出来るかなと期待していたので、少し拍子抜けでした。

I participated in April 2023.
There are a lot of sea turtles! My wife said it was the most fun she had during our stay in Hawaii!
The Japanese guide teaches you various things, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

2023年4月に参加。
ウミガメ沢山います！妻はハワイ滞在中1番楽しかったと言ってました！
日本人のガイドさんが色々教えて下さるので安心して楽しめますよ。

Food was great but the show was even better! Great time!

2 thumbs up. Crew was knowledgeable and made it a fun day.

The Bishop Museum was at the top of our list when it came to museums to visit. With an expansive exhibit in the Hawaiian Hall main building, they have everything from artifacts from the Hawaiian Royal Family to traditional medicine and religion. Do not miss this part of the museum - it's too important to miss!

There was also a kid-friendly Backyard Adventures Exhibit in the Castle Memorial Building, which my young son absolutely enjoyed. Each part of this exhibit is interactive and teaches kids about the seasons and bugs too!

The Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center is an amazing exhibit which houses their volcano exhibit and native flora and fauna. There is an amazing walk through of a dark maze backlit with colorful birds and plants. Don't miss this one either!


The Bishop Museum is a wonderful resource and cultural center for both locals and visitors. I highly recommend it and consider it to be among the most comprehensive publically available experiences on Hawaiian & Pacific culture. Don't miss the chance to visit!

The sandbar was cloudy with occasional showers, making it not very beautiful, and it was cold with rainy weather. The snorkeling was a bit murky, and I didn't see many fish. The sixth day had bad weather, which was a bit disappointing, but the crew did their best to keep us entertained.

サンドバーも曇り時々シャワーであまりきれい見えず、寒くて雨模様。スノーケリングも少し濁りがあり余り魚に会えなかった。6日目が悪天候、少し残念ですがクルーの方は、一生懸命楽しませてくれました。

We participated with children. The explanations were in English, and we were able to see many fish. We also saw turtles, and the kids were very happy. Please be careful near the seats by the stairs for getting on and off the submarine, as seawater may fall there when disembarking.

子供連れで参加しました。解説は英語ですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。カメも見ることができ、子供たちは大喜びでした。潜水艦の登り降りする階段付近の席は、下船時に海水が落ちてくるのでご注意下さい。

You can only go to the sandbar if you join the tour, and there are no tours on Sundays, so my husband, who works on weekdays, couldn't join and I went alone. (By the way, most of the others were couples, so it felt a bit lonely!)

However, on the day of the tour, it was drizzling and overcast from the morning. The scenery was far from what you see in the photos; everything was gray. There's nothing you can do about the weather, so I suppose we can only hope for good weather.

Even though I participated alone, I was able to get explanations and practice for snorkeling at the sandbar. They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so even if your English isn't great, you can feel at ease.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious on the boat. The snorkeling in the second half wasn't very clear due to the bad weather, but I did see some fish.

However, it was really cold after getting out, and I was shivering. I had hot cocoa on the boat, but it didn't warm me up much. On the bus ride back, I was still in my wet swimsuit with just a cover-up, and the bus air conditioning was quite strong, making me shiver even more...

I recommend that participants try to take off as much wet clothing as possible and wear more layers for the return trip!

ツアーに参加しないとサンドバーまで行けないということと日曜日はツアーはないということで、平日は仕事だった主人は参加できず1人で参加しました。(ちなみに他のみなさんはカップルが多くてちょっと寂しい〜！)
しかし当日は朝からずっと霧雨の曇天。
写真のような景色とは程遠く、全部グレーでした。天候に左右されるのは致し方ないですから、こればかりは良い天気を祈るしかないかと思います。
1人参加でしたがサンドバーの時にシュノーケリングの説明と練習をさせてもらえます。英語での説明と日本語での説明をして下さるので英語がイマイチでも安心です。
ランチのハンバーガーは船上でとても美味しくいただきました。
後半のシュノーケリングも天候が悪かったので視界はあまり良くありませんでしたがお魚見えました。

ただ、とにかく上がった後寒くて寒くてガタガタ震えてしまいました。船上で熱いココアをいただきましたがなかなか温まらず。帰りのバスも濡れた水着を着たまま上に羽織って帰るのですが、これまたバスのエアコンがよくきいていてブルブル…。
参加される方は濡れたものは出来るだけ脱いで、行きよりたくさん着て帰れるようにすることをオススメします！

We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!

Great time 1st trip on a fishing boat with kids. Meeting many wonderful patron on the ship along with the boat captain. Our kids managed to catches the first fish during our boat trip. Definitely would plan to come back next month. Hopefully this time our boat can catch more fishes comparing to last trip. It's wasn't that much fishes floating somehow but overall still an awesome journey with kids and family's. Scenic of Waikiki is unbelievable along many Dolphin jumping and boiling on the surface of the sunrise calm Aquatic blue ocean.

We departed from West Oahu, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single whale that day. We also experienced a cruise departing from Waikiki as a backup service from the same company, but we still didn't encounter any whales! However, if you don't see any whales, you receive a free boarding ticket for the next time, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, you can reschedule for another day. If you're visiting for about five days, you might not have time to switch to another day, so it's a bit of a gamble... There were no Japanese crew members, so everything was in English. Our family was the only Japanese guests. But as long as you can find the departure location, you should be fine even if you don't understand English.

西オアフから出発ですが、その日は残念ながら１頭も会えず。
リベンジでワイキキからも出発するクルーズ（同じ会社の振り替えサービス）も体験しましたが、くじらに会えず！
ただ、見れなかった場合は次回無料乗船券がもらえるので、日程的に余裕がある人は違う日に振り替えられます。5日くらいの観光できているとほかの日に振り替える時間がないと思うので、一か八かですね・・・。
日本人のクルーはいませんので、すべて英語です。
日本人客は私たち家族だけでした。でも出発場所にさえちゃんとたどり着ければ英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。

There were many sea turtles, and the ocean was beautiful; I was able to see a large sea turtle resting! During the trip, there were two people who spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel at ease! I was also very satisfied to be able to feed the fish!

ホヌも沢山いて海も綺麗で大きなホヌが寝ている姿も見ることができました！
移動中は日本語をしっかり話せる方が2名も居たので安心できました！
魚に餌やりもできて大満足！

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of my visit. I had imagined the perfect location under a blue sky with clear waters, but it was completely cloudy. I heard the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and various colorful fish, which was truly moving.

Even in the rain, it was enjoyable, and I highly recommend it.

当日、あいにくの天気でした。
青空の下、透明度の高い海で最高なロケーションを想像してましたが、一面が雲。
海も濁っているとの事でしたが、シュノーケリングではウミガメも様々な色をした魚も見ることが出来、感動しました。

雨でも充分楽しめ、お勧めです。

This is definitely to be done again! Was an amazing experience
