This activity was a highlight of our Hawai’i trip. With adult children this was enjoyed by all. The sights on the ranch are remarkable and the activity was heaps of fun

The long-awaited snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was amazing! Although it was rainy in the early morning, by the time we arrived at the site, the rain had stopped, and the sky gradually brightened. By the second half of the snorkeling, we were greeted with beautiful blue skies!

Light was shining through the water, and I was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish of all sizes! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any turtles, but I was surprised to see a large seal lounging on the beach! I thought it was wonderful that both the fish and the seals were completely unafraid of people. This must be due to the strong spirit of animal protection among the people of Hawaii!

The two guides were also very kind, which made for a reassuring experience. Thank you!

念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケルが出来て最高でした❗️早朝は雨模様だったのですが、現場に到着する頃には雨もやみ、だんだん明るい空になってきて、シュノーケルの後半には綺麗な青空が‼️
水の中にも光がさしてきて、色とりどりの、大小さまざまな魚がたくさん見れて大満足でした！
亀は残念ながら探し出せませんでしたが、大きなアザラシがビーチの上にドーンと寝転んでいたのにはびっくり‼️魚もそうですが、アザラシも全く人を警戒していないのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。
日頃からハワイの方々の動物愛護の精神が徹底されているからこそでしょう！
ガイドのお二人もとても親切で安心して過ごすことが出来ました！ありがとうございました。

My family was picked up just a few feet from our hotel on time and patiently waiting our arrival. The driver/tour guide, "BK", was warm, informative, eloquent, hospitable and passionate about Hawaii. The knowledge he shared was done in a professional and relatable manner. We could have spent days listening to him. He was that good! Notably "BK" was born in Hawaii, a Marine veteran and could speak personally on military and personal experiences.
The tour albeit brief, was worth the price hands down. Take the tour. Learn some valuable knowledge on WW2, Pearl harbor, Hawaii and the wonderful first citizens of this state.

What an amazing experience. WOW . Breath taking views and amazing fun informative crew. I enjoyed every single second of this experience and very grateful to have been apart. Would definitely recommend. Weather was perfect even though it rained briefly it still was amazing. Volleyball was fun and snorkeling was even better. Sen a few turtles because then dip out pretty fast lol. Lunch was great with drinks and world glass special wine if you choose lol. Also had a convenient restroom. Shuttle pick up was convenient with breathtaking views on the way there. Loved it!!!!!

I had the greatest time at Gunstock Ranch!
I would heartily recommend this activity.
Everyone, from the check-in, to the trail ride staff, and visiting the animals after the ride were amazing.
As a very novice rider, I was well instructed and had a great ride.

This was a unique and fun activity! It was just the right amount of time and no big crowd. We would definitely do it again!

This place made me sound like a broken record…I was lost for words and kept saying “wow”. My husband and I really enjoyed this part of our trip to Hawaii. We had so much fun! Our guides Lee and Matt were amazing at giving us the experience of a lifetime, they were professional, funny, and perfect for the adventure!
We recommend wearing a face cover and dark clothing/change of clothing because of the dirt buildup throughout the drive! They have a wash station right after the tour so no need to worry.

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~

Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.

Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.

The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.

But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

My first experience flying in a Cessna over Oahu was filled with satisfaction that surpassed both tension and anticipation, lasting about an hour.

During the shuttle ride to the hotel, we enjoyed fun conversations in Japanese, and I felt reassured by the presence of a Japanese interpreter during the briefing with the pilot at the office.

Before and during the flight, they took free photos and videos, which they sent to me via LINE before I returned to the hotel.

The pilot's handling of the aircraft was meticulous, and he checked on my well-being several times during the flight.

If I have the opportunity, I would love to customize another flight with Lani Lea Flight School.

人生初のセスナでオアフ島周遊フライトは、緊張感と期待感を軽く飛び越して満足感の上空を約１時間に渡り味わいました。
ホテルへの送迎車内での日本語での楽しい会話、オフィスでのパイロットとのブリーフィングも日本語通訳が同席していただいて安心しました。
フライト前、フライト中にも無料で写真や動画を撮影してくれて、ホテルに帰る前にラインで送って頂きました。
パイロットの操縦も丁寧で、フライト中に体調の確認を何度も気配りしてくれました。
機会があれば今度もLani Lea Flight School のフライトをオーダーメイドしたいなと思います。

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

自分では、予約が難しいのでツアーに参加。ガイドさんが　英語でしたが、
一生懸命　翻訳してくれて　安心できました。ハナウマ湾は、５回目でしたが
浅瀬がサンゴ礁のため　熱帯魚とたっぷり遊べました。

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. They provided beautiful live music and some ono doughnuts + beverages! The sandbar was absolutely beautiful!

We recommend to bring water shoes if you want to snorkel…or in general, they come in handy! And don’t forget sunscreen! Also another tip is if you plan to use an Uber/Lyft as transportation that you pre book prior for pick-up especially! Because we were told that people sometimes waited hours to be picked up from that location. We pre-booked and waited probably 15mins.

I participated on Tuesday, and I had heard it was the most beautiful day, but the waves were high and the water was murky. There's nothing that can be done about luck, so it's unfortunate.

火曜日の参加だったので、一番きれいだと聞いていましたが、波が立っていて海中が濁ってしまいました。
こればっかりは運なので仕方ないですが残念でした。

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

The greenery was beautiful, and no matter how much we drove the buggy, the vast ranch seemed to stretch on forever. It was breathtaking to see the ocean as well.
We drove the buggy four times, with designated spots to switch drivers, but the last leg was quite hard, so I think it would be more enjoyable to let someone who loves driving take over then.
The neck warmer we received at the beginning, which fit snugly around the neck, seemed like a participant's badge, so I followed everyone else's lead and kept it around my neck. However, at the very end, when the dust was terrible, I covered my face to shield my mouth and nose, and it turned out to be a great safety guard, making it very comfortable. I thought if I had done that from the start, I wouldn't have gotten sand on my face, but looking back, I couldn't help but laugh at our completely blackened faces. The photos we took after returning home captured some funny expressions. (Sunglasses are a must!)
I was delighted when a cute female staff member took many photos for us at the photo spot. The Moai statue was great.

緑が美しく、バギーで走れど走れど、まだまだ先は長く続く、壮大すぎる牧場でした。海も見えて感動です。
バギーは4回、下車スポットがあって交代で運転しましたが、最後の4回目がハードなのでそこは運転好きの人に代わって貰うと、楽しいかなと思います。
最初にいただいた首にスッポリとかぶるネックウォーマーみたいなのは、それが参加者の印かなと思って皆の真似をして首に置いておきましたが、最後の最後に砂埃が酷い時に口元や鼻を隠すように顔を覆ったら、安全ガードとなってとても快適でした。最初からやっていれば顔に砂が付かなかったのにと思いましたが、終わってみると真っ黒な顏をした自分達を笑えなかったかなと、帰国して見た写真には面白顏の記録が残っています。（サングラス必須）
スタッフの可愛い女性が、撮影スポットで写真を頼むと、たくさん撮ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。モアイ像が良かったです。

The boat and crew were great. The snorkeling, not so much. Make sure you check the tide before you book! It's a sand bar and reef, so if the tide is out it will be too shallow to snorkel. We lost an hour of our two hours snorkel time waiting for the tide to come in, and when it did, it was still too shallow to snorkel over the reefs. And with all the ppl walking around stirring up the bottom, it was too murkey to see much anyway. Pretty mush a loss.
But did I mention the crew? Great music, helpful crew saved the day

This was such a fun family activity. My 12 year old daughter, my wife and I had a blast and our guides Destiny and Khalil were very professional and fun. Highly recommended! Next time we're trying the atv's too!

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。

I was worried due to the strong winds and the sudden reservation the day before, but everything went smoothly. We ended up fishing in shallow waters, but it was still quite enjoyable. During the trip, we were greeted by a pod of dolphins. The rental equipment was reasonably maintained, but there might be some inconsistencies. The captain spoke a little Japanese, so there were no issues. There was a delay in gathering participants, which caused us to set sail later, but well, it's Hawaii time...

連日の強風と、前日の急な予約で心配しましたが無事に遂行
状況に合わせた浅場での釣りになりましたが、それなりに楽しく遊べました
移動中はイルカ群れのお迎えもありました
貸し出し道具はそこそこの手入れで、あたりはずれがありそう
キャプテンは多少日本語も話せるので問題無し
参加者の集合遅れなどがあり出航が遅くなったが、まぁHawaiiTimeなので、、、

Charismatic host and thrilling performances by men, women and children representing the different island nations/territories. Food is buffet style with many tasty options. Alcohol free options were also available and enjoyable.

Some of the main activities, such as the lazy river, were unexpectedly closed, and I couldn't enjoy my time there. I was told it was because it wasn't the season yet, but I felt unhappy to hear that after paying the same high price as during the peak season. Also, the water was too cold, which made it uncomfortable.

なぜか流れるプールなどの主要アクティビティいくつかが停止されていて、ほぼ楽しめなかった。
まだシーズンではないからとのことだったが、ハイシーズンと同じ高い金額を払ったのに入園後に聞かされて嫌な気持ちでした。
そして水が冷たすぎてキツかったです。

We participated in the buggy experience at Kualoa Ranch as a couple!

We were picked up from our hotel around 8:00 AM and arrived at Kualoa shortly after 9:00 AM. We had free time until 11:00 AM, and activities started around 11:30 AM. The activities ended at 2:00 PM, and we were taken back to the hotel by bus at 3:00 PM.

The bus picked us up from the hotel and took about an hour to reach Kualoa Ranch! I thought I might freeze to death on the way there because the bus was so cold. (laughs)

There were other activities like horseback riding and cycling, and we were given explanations about the meeting points for each. The guide at that time was Japanese, which made me feel very relieved, but during the buggy experience, everything was in English, and there were no staff who understood Japanese, so I struggled a bit. (laughs)

There were about 15 other people participating in the buggy experience, all of whom were from overseas, communicating in English. They were receiving explanations about the mountains and scenery of Kualoa, but I didn't understand anything. (laughs)

However, the scenery was breathtaking, and driving the buggy was amazing! We took about two hours to go around Kualoa, stopping at about five photo spots to get out of the buggy and receive explanations. The coastline was beautiful, and it was fun driving through the mountains, with plenty of cows along the way. It was really enjoyable, especially since the weather was nice! It would have been boring if it had rained. (；；)(；；)

The activity cost about 30,000 yen per person, totaling around 60,000 yen for two, but it was worth it since we had a solid two hours of fun! (laughs)

For those who will be doing the buggy experience, your face will get covered in dust from the buggy tires, so make sure to wear the goggles and the cloth mask provided! For 2-3 days, my nose and ears were black!

行きのバスは寒すぎて死ぬかと思いました。笑

他にも乗馬、サイクリング、などのアクティビティがありそれぞれの集合場所を説明してもらえました！
この時のガイドの人は日本人の方で日本語で
とても安心しましたが
バギー体験では全て英語で日本語わかるスタッフがいなかったのでちょっと苦戦しましたwww

私たち以外にも15人ほどバギー体験の方がいましたが
皆様海外の方で英語でやり取りをしてて
クアロアの山の説明や景色の説明など受けてましたが何一つ分かりませんでした（笑）

けど景色は絶景でバギーの運転も最高でした！！
2時間ほどかけてクアロアを1周して
5箇所ほど写真撮影のスポットでバギー降りて、説明を受ける感じでした！
海沿いも綺麗だし山の中も走ってて楽しいし
途中に牛さんも沢山いて本当に楽しかった！
天気が良かったので尚更ですね！
雨だとつまんなそう(；；)(；；)

1人約3万円、2人で6万円ほどのアクティビティでしたが2時間みっちり楽しめたので良かったです！笑

これからバギー体験する方
お顔がバギーのタイヤではねた砂埃で真っ黒になるのでゴーグルと配られる布のマスクはしっかりつけましょう！2~3日鼻くそも耳くそも黒かったです！

I visited on a weekday in April, and it was quite empty, so I was able to ride the slides without much waiting. However, I'm not sure if it was because it was too empty, but the available slides changed depending on the time, and not all of them were operating at all times.

A Japanese woman from the tour was waiting at the pool entrance and kindly explained about the lockers and other things. She also offered help if anyone was having trouble. The large locker cost around $15 or $16, and you could open and close it as many times as you wanted.

The kids seemed to have a lot of fun, and I would like to go again.

4月の平日に遊びに行きましたが、ガラガラでスライダーはほとんど並ばずに乗れました。
ただ、空きすぎのせいなのか分かりませんが、スライダーは時間帯によって乗れる物が変わり、いつも全てがやっている訳ではありませんでした。

ツアーの日本人女性がプール入り口で待っていてくれてロッカー等の説明をしてくれたり、中でも困っている事があれば声を掛けてくれたりととても親切でした。
ロッカーは大の方で確か15か16ドルでした。何度も開け閉めし放題です。

子供もとても楽しかった様で、また行きたいと思います。

I couldn’t stop smiling driving the ATV around such a beautiful and famous location! The team were funny, friendly and knowledgeable.i had not realised how sacred this land is and it was great to learn more. I would highly recommend a visit.

We had a great time at Kualoa Ranch! The visitor center was nice and had good food but the tour was outstanding! Johnny and Reece were great tour guides!

On the first day in Hawaii (May), I participated from 5 PM.

I had a lot of fun and I'm glad I joined.

I forgot my towel and was a bit anxious, but I was helped by being able to put it down on the boat when I got off the parasailing.

Most of the participants fell into the sea and got completely soaked, so it's better to bring a towel if you can.

I think it would be great if there were a towel rental service, either free or for a fee, and also a service providing motion sickness medication, as about 2 out of 10 participants were feeling sick from the boat ride.

ハワイきて初日（５月）に、17時〜で参加しました。

楽しくて参加してよかったです。

タオル忘れて行ってひやひやしましたが、パラセーリングから降りる時に、ボート上におろしてもらえたから助かりました。

参加者のほとんどが海に落とされてビショビショに濡れる方もいたので、タオルはできれば持って行った方がいいです。

無料か有料でタオル貸し出しサービスや船酔いで吐いてる人も参加者約10人中2人くらいいたので酔い止め提供のサービスがあれば、尚いいと思いました。

Good family activity good picture taking moments!

I was wondering how the pool in Hawaii would be, but it was amazing! In Japan, the waiting time is usually longer, but here I was able to slide multiple times with hardly any wait. I opted for the premium deluxe, but since I didn't want to waste time having lunch and didn't drink enough to justify the free drinks, it might not be necessary. It was great to have priority access.

ハワイでプールってどう？と思っていましたが、最高でした！日本だと、並ぶ時間の方が長いですが、ほぼ並ばずに何度も滑れました。プレミアムデラックスにしましたが、ランチをとる時間が惜しいし、フリードリンクほど飲まないので、必要ないかも。優先で入れるのはとても良かったです。

The trip was great, service, experience and activities were all well worth it.
The boat trip, snorkeling, dinner, drinks and a dolphin sighting for one price was amazing.

Very highly recommended. Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Friendly staff!

I go to Hawaii at least once a year but never knew about the sandbar until a year ago when friends took us out on their fishing boat. It was such a cool experience that this time I decided to book this excursion and it was the best experience ever! The boat they took us out on was big and clean with toilets. They had refreshments, doughnuts and a really good musician that played for us on the way out and back. Once we got to the sandbar, they had floating barge, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling all set up and ready to go in waist deep water all around. It was perfect for my 6 year old. There was a staff member to help us at each station and they were really attentive and helpful. I've been telling everyone that a trip to Oahu is not complete unless they experience this.
