The guide was really awesome of the knowledge of the rainforest!

The submarine was really fun! The window views were a bitf oggy the day we went, but to be underwater was cool all around.

you get muddy, so definitely prepared what you wear! really gorgeous tour views!

Really wonderful experience, crew was knowledgeable, and we got to see a cute family with a baby!

Good food, fun games and crafts, the pig roast was a sight to see!

The food was really delicious, and we made some sweet vacation friends at the table we sat at!

Fun to get to see so many different sides to Kualoa Ranch, and with rides to from Waikiki it made the day a piece of cake!

My family really enjoyed this tour, we are big movie people so to see the ranch where so many took place was awesome, and the guides are on point with their knowledge!

Chief makes sure you have a great time on vacation, filling the evening with laughs on top of Hawaiian culture!

After a brief explanation, we were given helmets, goggles, and scarves to cover our noses, and then we set off. The scenery is irresistible for fans of the Jurassic Park movies. It was amazing! Riding the buggies on the mountain paths was thrilling. One thing to note is that this is the attraction where you will get the dirtiest, so be prepared for that. Did you come in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty? We drove through clouds of dust that made it hard to see in front of us. We could only laugh at how dirty we got. It became one of the memorable experiences.

The luau was entertaining and informative. The food was good too. Staff did a good job of moving 500 people through the lines. Only two watered down drink tickets. The free choices were only offered at one stand. For 500 people. Not enough.
I enjoyed the pictures on arrival. I think more opportunities for pictures would have been good.

Worst part was getting up for a 5:50am shuttle pick-up. But it was well worth it. Our shuttle was full and there were more instructions at the top of the Bay, where gear rental was distributed and we were placed into manageable groups for the ticket office. But the organizers knew what they were doing, kept track of everyone, despite confusing looks on some of our faces (mine!). Plenty of room at the beach; clean basic facilities. Information booth was staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful guides. I noticed a long line at the locker & gear rental. In the past 10 years of 4 snorkeling trips (I'm obviously not avid), Hanauma Bay comes in 3rd as far as plentiful ocean life.* Maybe because of climate change, 10 years ago was the last of the best of snorkeling? Glad I went though. I was going to skip it because of the tourism. But the agencies in charge struck the best balance possible for an endangered reef and we humans who want to pay our respects to Kanaloa and Pele, for the beautiful gifts they bestowed.

The tour participants were from many countries, and it was so popular that I wondered if a single large bus could even accommodate everyone.

Since the tour would be canceled in case of rain, I was worried about the weather, but by the time we arrived at the location, it had cleared up.

The buggy experience was conducted in English, but they played a video in Japanese explaining how to operate the buggy, so I had no worries about driving. Even if something irregular happened, they kindly and clearly explained everything in English, so there was nothing to worry about. I have always been a fan of the Jurassic series, and I was truly moved to see the setting in person. It made me think again about how amazing the Earth is and how grand nature can be... It was a buggy tour that made me feel grateful to be here. I was simply overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery and couldn't take my eyes off it.

We stopped at various points, where they provided explanations of the scenery and time for photo opportunities, which was really great. (I couldn't understand most of the English explanations, though, haha.)

It might be an exaggeration, but if you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend seeing the scenery here at least once!!

(If I could be a little selfish, I wish we could have visited more filming locations from Jurassic Park...)

ツアー参加者は各国の人大勢で、大きなバス1台でもギリ乗り切れないんじゃないかくらいの人気だった。

雨が降ると中止になるツアーの為、天候悪化も心配していたが、無事現地に到着する頃には晴れてくれた。

バギー体験はもちろん英語のやりとりだが、バギーの乗り方の説明は日本語のビデオを流してくれた為、運転等の心配は全くなく、何かイレギュラーが発生しても英語で優しく分かりやすく教えてくれたので、何も心配はいらなかった。
私は元々ジュラシックシリーズのファンで、生でその舞台を見ることができて本当に感激だった。地球はすごいな、自然は壮大だな・・・と改めて思わせてるそんなバギーツアーだった。ここに来れて良かったと心底思えた。
ただただ壮大な景色に圧倒され、ずっと見惚れていた。
ポイントごとに停車して、景色の説明や写真撮影タイムが設けられていてすごくよかった。(英語の説明はほぼ理解できなかったけど笑)

でも大袈裟かもしれないけど、ハワイに行かれるなら、是非ここの景色は一度見てみてほしい！！

(ただ少しワガママを言うのであれば、もう少し、ジェラシックパークの撮影地を巡ってほしかったなぁ・・・)

I participated with four friends.
At the spot, the guide took fun photos from interesting angles, and we had a great time.
Since the explanations were only in English, I would have appreciated some guidance in Japanese, even if it was simple.

友人４人で参加しました。
スポットではガイドさんが面白いアングルで写真を撮ってくれたりと楽しめました。
説明が英語のみだったので、簡単でも良いので日本語での案内も欲しかったです。

We had a very interesting and enjoyable time, including with the captain. Also, seeing the sea turtles excited the whole family. We definitely want to go again.

船長さん含め、とても面白く、楽しい時間を
過ごさせて頂きました。また、ウミガメが見れて
家族みんな興奮しました。
また必ず行きたいです。

My wife and I participated together. First of all, the staff were very kind, and even though my English wasn't great, they managed to help me. The driving distance was much longer than I expected, and my wife and I took turns driving. Along the way, there were three locations where the staff provided detailed explanations in English, and they spoke slowly, so I was able to understand somewhat. In the last ten minutes, it started pouring rain, and we got completely soaked, but it was the best memory from our seven-night stay in Hawaii. I would like to stop by again next time I go.

妻と二人で参加しました。
先ずは、スタッフの方々がとても親切で、英語がうまく話せなくても何とか対応できました。
走行距離が思ってたよりもかなり長く妻と交代交代運転できました。
途中、３箇所でスタッフからの丁寧な説明があり、英語だったなど、ゆっくり話してくれたので、なんとなく理解できました。
最後の１０分、大雨になりずぶ濡れになりましたが、５泊７泊のハワイ在中で、一番の思い出です。
今度行く時も、また立ち寄りたいです。

The Japanese guide provided commentary about Hawaii during the transfer, making it enjoyable from start to finish without any dull moments!

However, there are no breaks, so it might require some stamina...
(Of course, the guide will suggest going to the beach together if it gets too tough, and you can take a break from there.)

If you're not confident in your English or have concerns, I absolutely recommend this plan!

日本人ガイドの方が、送迎中もハワイのガイドをしてくださり、
飽きることなく、最初から最後まで楽しかったです！

ただ休憩とかはないので、体力はいるかも、、。
（もちろんガイドの方が、厳しくなったら一緒に浜に行って、そこからは休憩してくださいとは言ってくれますが）

英語苦手とか不安がある方は、このプランは絶対おすすめです！

My family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The MC was fantastic and funny. The flower and anniversary leis were a wonderful touch. The activities were fun. The show was very entertaining, impressive, and the food was good too! The waterfall and hike were fun before too. Thank you for a fantastic day and evening! Mahalo!

The all around experience from the charter boat crew to the sandbar was amazing.

The crew was so lively and made you feel welcomed. The options for activities was great!

The live music was top teir and so soothing

I highly recommend this trip!

** don't forget to bring a water proof phone case or cover!**

They are punctual and friendly. The experience of touring the memorial was great. Strongly recommended with this tour company.

Crew was incredibly friendly & helpful!

Everything is well explained and all the activities are well organized with a dedicated life guard at each activity!

Boat ride is very stable with minimal rocking motion and kick ass live band, being on a sandbar in middle of ocean is once in a lifetime..

I participated alone, and this tour is definitely worth joining. It's about a 2-hour tour, but you can see a variety of fish and turtles up close through the glass, and the time passes so quickly because the content is so rich. From the dock, you board a boat and then switch to a submarine in the middle of the sea, which was an exciting experience climbing in and out of the submarine via a ladder. I had prepared a Japanese audio guide in advance, but I was too busy observing the mysterious underwater scenery in front of me to listen. Many participants were families, and the children were delighted. You can have a great time even if you participate alone.

ひとりで参加しました　このツアーは参加する価値大です　約2時間のツアーですが多品種の魚や亀をガラス越しまじかで見ることができ時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまうくらい内容が濃いツアーです　船着き場から船に乗り途中の海上で船から潜水艦に乗り換え潜水艦内に梯子で出入りする体験もわくわく感があって楽しかったです　録音する日本語ガイドも事前に用意しておきましたが
目の前に映る神秘的な海底の様子を観察することに忙しく聴くことはありませんでした　参加者は家族連れが多く子供達は喜んでいました　ひとりで参加しても十分楽しめます

I visited Hawaii for the first time for my wedding and honeymoon. It was a very refreshing and wonderful experience.

This time, I went to the meeting place by rental car. On the day of the tour, I happened to check my email and found a message from the tour company saying, "There will be a canoe race tomorrow, and there may not be parking available. If you need a shuttle bus, please come to ○○ Hotel around 9:10 AM. If you are coming by car and the parking is full, please park at ○○ and walk over."

I noticed this at 9 AM, but fortunately, it was at the hotel next door, so I greeted my parents and hurried over. However, I received another email saying, "The shuttle is fully booked." In the end, we went by rental car (laughs).

The reason was that there were overlapping events on the weekend. I realized that I should definitely check my emails, as you never know what might happen (laughs).

During the trip, I planned to use Wi-Fi and LINE, so I had disabled the international calling feature. Perhaps they had tried to call me the day before (＾＾；).

When we arrived at the location, luckily there was one parking spot available at the boat harbor, and we were able to park the car safely.

After parking, I wasn't sure where the reception was, but when I asked a police officer at the entrance of the port in English, he kindly walked with me to show me the way, saying, "It's at the very back under the blue roof" (＾＾).

At the reception area, there were many people, and I couldn't find the check-in for my tour. While my husband and I were looking around, a woman in a blue shirt called out my name, so we were able to check in successfully (＾＾).

During the tour, important explanations were given separately to the Japanese group and the English-speaking group, with explanations provided in each language.

Regarding our belongings, the boat we boarded was divided into two levels. On the first floor, there were baskets under the seats where we could store our bags. On the second floor, we could access our items by opening the seat lids, so there was no worry about dropping anything into the sea.

While everyone was swimming, there were always one or two Japanese staff members or local staff on board to provide free drinks. It was reassuring to know they were there when we returned from the sea♪

I had some concerns about the amount of belongings and the size of our bags, but it turned out to be very reassuring. However, just in case something fell into the sea, it might be better not to take the original passport (laughs).

At the sandbar, the tide hadn't completely gone out, so there was seawater up to my knees, but the scenery was still amazing! There were staff members who were great at taking photos, and they took many pictures for us♪

From the sandbar, we could see the mountains of Kualoa, which was lovely ❤️.

The tour schedule on the website mentioned a 30-40 minute free time, but we actually had an hour, which allowed us to relax.

After practicing snorkeling and taking photos, when we returned to the boat and looked out from the second floor, we saw overseas tourists having a great time playing beach volleyball (laughs).

There was one double float, so there were couples leisurely floating around. We enjoyed sipping free drinks on the boat and had a wonderful time♡ The burgers we had on board were also incredibly delicious♫.

After that, we all moved by boat to go snorkeling. There were many small, cute fish around the coral! I was having so much fun filming in 4K on my smartphone that I could have watched them forever♡

Next, we moved to another location for turtle watching. Since we were split into two groups on the boat, when turtles were spotted on the other side, I was too lazy to move (laughs) as it felt a bit dangerous with the crowd.

But I was glad we were able to spot turtles on our side too!

When I later uploaded the videos I took, the turtles' faces were quite clear in the footage♪

The day before, we had to give up

結婚式＋新婚旅行を兼ねて、初めてハワイを訪れました。
とても新鮮で素晴らしい経験ができました


今回はレンタカーで集合場所に行きました。
当日たまたま、それとなくメールを見たら
ツアー会社からメールが来ていて

『明日カヌーのレースがあり、駐車場に空きがない可能性があります。シャトルバスの送迎が必要な場合、○○ホテルに9時10分ごろ来てください。車でおこしの場合は満車の場合、○○に止めて歩いてお越し下さい』と、ありました。


9時に気づいたのですが、幸い隣のホテルだったため
両親に挨拶して急いで向かったところ
もう一つメールが来ていて
「シャトルが予約で満席になってしまいました」とあり
結局、レンタカーで向かいました（笑）


理由は土日でイベントが重なってしまったからでした。
何かあるか分からないので
ちゃんとメールは見るべきだなと思いました（笑

今回、旅行中は全てWi−Fi利用、LINE利用のつもりでいたので
国際通話の機能を無効化していました。
もしかしたら、前日に電話をくれていたのかも(＾＾；)


現地に向かうと、幸いボートハーバーで1つ空きがあり
無事に車も止める事ができました♩


駐車した後、どこが受付かわからなかったのですが
港の入口にいた警察官に英語で聞いたところ
「一番奥の青い屋根のところだよ」と
見えるところまで一緒に歩いて教えてくれました（＾＾）



受付場所には色んな人たちがいて
自分の参加するツアーの受付が分からず
主人と見渡していると
青いシャツを着た女性が名前を呼んでくれたので
無事に受付する事ができました（＾＾）


ツアー中、大事な説明が入る時は
日本人グループと、英語を話す人グループに分けられ
それぞれの言語で説明をしてくれました。


また荷物に関してですが
私たちが乗った船は１階と２階に分かれていて

１階は座席の下にカゴが置いてあったので
荷物はそこに置いておく事ができました。

2階は、座席の蓋を開けての出し入れだったので
海に物が落ちる心配もありませんでした。


みんなで泳ぎに出てる時なんかは
フリードリンクがいつでも提供できるように
日本人スタッフ、現地スタッフの人たち誰か1、2人が
必ず船内にいてくれました。
海から戻ると安心感もありました♪

持ち物の量やカバンの大きさ、置き場所に不安はありましたが
とっても安心しました。
でも万が一　海に落とすと怖いので
パスポート原本は持って行かない方がいいかも（笑）


サンドバーは
潮が完全に引いておらず膝下まで海水はありましたが
それでも素晴らしい景色でした！
写真を撮るのが上手なスタッフさんもいて
たくさん写真を撮っていただきました♪

サンドバーからはクアロアの山々も見えて
素敵でした❤️


サイト申込時のツアースケジュールには
30−40分のフリーとありましたが
私たちの時は1時間もあって、ゆっくり過ごす事ができました。

シュノーケリングの練習をしたり、写真を撮ったりしたあと
船内に戻り2階から景色を見ていると
海外観光客の方たちはとっても楽しそうに
ビーチバレーをしていらっしゃいましたw

1つだけ2人乗りの浮き輪があったので
ゆったり浮かんでるカップルもいました。

船内でゆっくりフリードリンクを飲んだり
素敵な時間を過ごせたとおもます♡
船上で食べるバーガーもめっちゃ美味しかったです♫


その後はみんなで船で移動して
シュノーケリングをしました。

サンゴの周りには
小さくて可愛らしいお魚が沢山いました！
スマホの4Kで撮ってて楽しくて
いつまででも見ていられそうでした♡


その後はタートルウォッチングのために
また場所を移動しました。
船内で二手に分かれていたので
反対側で見つかった時は
移動が面倒臭くて動きませんでしたw
（人も偏ってて危ない気もしましたし）

でも自分たちが居たサイドでも
無事に見つけられて良かったです！

撮った動画を後でアップしてみると
かなりハッキリと顔が見えていました♪


前日にスコールに当たり
海亀がいるビーチに行くのを断念していたので
無事見れて満足です✨✨✨


港に戻る時も海亀見れて嬉しかった♡

帰りに船の中で
色んな映画の撮影現場である事も教えてもらいました♪


結構　濃密な経験ができた日だったと思います♡

We were a couple with Japanese people, and it was an easy-to-understand, enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful time with some Japanese mixed in. We even got nicknames, which made it fun to participate. I also received magic goods as a souvenir, for which I am grateful.

日本人は、我々の夫婦一組でしたが 日本語を交えてわかりやすく、楽しく、参加型で有意義なひとときでした。
あだ名もつけてもらい、面白く参加出来ました。
お土産で、マジックグッズも頂き　感謝です。

I didn't expect to get covered in an incredible amount of dust while riding the four-wheeler, but it turned out to be a great memory. It was fun to explore the beautiful views at Kualoa Ranch. I was a bit disappointed that there was only an English guide available.

四輪バギーで、半端ない程のホコリ塗れになるとは思ってもおりませんでしたが、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
クアロアランチの景色の良い所を回るので、楽しかったです。
英語ガイドしかなかったのが、ちょっと残念でした。

This was an outstanding luau. I had read some reviews complaining that drive there goes through a industrial area. Who cares!? Once you arrive you are in a secluded, gorgeous property on the ocean.
The food and entertainment was outstanding. I went back for seconds on the pig, which they actually roast in the ground the traditional way.
This luau is the best bang for your buck on the island.

I was worried because it was drizzling lightly, but as we headed out to Kaneohe Bay, the weather cleared up, and it turned into a refreshing cruise. There was a sudden change with some intense ups and downs along the way, but it felt like a bit of a show. The only disappointment was that there were large clouds hanging over the mountains, which prevented us from seeing the full view of Kualoa Ranch.

小雨がパラパラとしていて心配しましたが、カネオヘ湾へ出ていくと晴れてきて、爽快なクルーズでした。途中で急にアップダウンが激しい状況になりましたが、ちょっとした演出のようでした。山側には大きな雲が垂れ込んでいて、クアロアランチ全景を眺めることが出来なかったのが唯一残念です。

An exciting adventure for all ages, lots of different activities and skill levels. I was happy to walk on the sand bar and relax on the floating platform while my young adult company enjoyed kayaking, volleyball, SUP and snorkeling. The crew was fantastic and even off the boat you could still enjoy the live music/tunes. Bring your own snacks so you won’t be hungry or buy from the mini store on the dock. We bought a bunch of breakfast items and they were delicious. I would absolutely book this again on our next visit… MAHALO

‍♂️ the warmest people on Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure were filled with Love
Calvin one of the staff members gave me a full history lesson on the 100 year history on this part of the island the jazz band was amazing entertainment was fun I wound do it all over again well worth it
