It's almost a sin to miss ATV ride at Kualoa Ranch. Your Hawaiian adventure is incomplete if you haven't been to ATV rides. We have 2 boys aged 10 and 13 and the Multi-Passenger allowed them to experience this journey. Staff were great and our lead driver made sure we got the most of our ride.
Also shout out to Marisa Lopez at Veltra who provided great advice to my questions and was able to re-book due to weather. Great customer service!

This is the 1st time I have enrolled with Hans Hedemann and staff. Staff was really nice as my son and I took the surf class in the 2hr group lesson. Two hours is plenty of time for the group size and I did not have to wait for other surfers on the water at all. I had taken the KOA lessons (also on Waikiki) earlier and Hans' School is much better in terms of distance to paddle to get to the surf location as well as the student to instructor ratio. Our package also included shuttle, pictures and a T-shirt which is awesome. My son (14yrs) said it was the best activity of the trip which is great since it's so hard to impress teens now-a-days. Because of the inclusiveness of the package and the surf location, we would definitely repeat and highly recommend this school.

As soon as we boarded, we had a buffet-style lunch. After finishing, we went out to the deck and felt the wind while heading out to Waikiki. The view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, and just that alone made me feel great and glad to have participated.
The long-awaited whales appeared, with a pod of about four spouting water and showing their backs and tails repeatedly.
And then, one finally jumped! It leaped vertically, showing us its white and black mottled belly. Lucky!
During the latter part of the cruise, many participants had returned inside the ship, so it was worth staying outside. It was sudden and brief, so I couldn't take a photo, but it was a whale watching tour that left a lasting impression and was very satisfying.
乗船してすぐブッフェ式のランチ。食べ終えて外のデッキへ出て風に吹かれながら、ワイキキ沖へ出て行くと、ワイキキのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、まずはそれだけでも気持ちよくて、参加してよかったと思いました。
待望のクジラは、四頭ほどの群れが潮吹き、背中や尻尾を何度も何度も見せてくれました。
そして、ついに一頭がジャンプ!
縦に垂直に上半身あたり(?)まで飛んで、こちらに白っぽくて黒いまだら模様のあるお腹側を見せてくれました。ラッキー!
クルージング後半で、参加者の多くは船内に戻っていた時間帯、外で頑張っていた甲斐がありました。突然で、一瞬だったので写真は撮れなかったけど、目に焼き付けて大満足のホエールウォッチングツアーとなりました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. However, we had a beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. They were distributing free tickets (without meals) when we got off. We didn't order any meals, but it was possible to order meals on the day of the event.
残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。でも、ワイキキの街とダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもきれいに見れました。降りる際に、無料の券(食事はつかない)を配布していました。私たちは、食事を申し込みませんでしたが、当日でも食事の申し込みは出来ました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are sorry that you were unable to observe any whales this time. Please do come back to search for whales again! All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I signed up at the request of my children. I was worried about my 4-year-old and 6-year-old, but they were able to shake hands with the dolphins. They said kissing them smelled like fish, so they didn't do that (laughs). The dolphin pool was deeper than I expected, and since the kids couldn't touch the bottom, I had to hold them the whole time. We signed up for the first time slot in the morning, and after it was over, we were able to relax by having a meal in the park, watching the dolphin show, and playing on the playground equipment.
子供のリクエストで申し込みました。4歳と6歳の子供たち、大丈夫かなと心配していましたが、イルカと握手出来ました。キスは魚の匂いがすると言ってやりませんでしたが(笑)イルカのプールは思ったよりも深く、子供たちは足がつかないのでずっと抱っこしていました。朝一番の時間で申し込みましたが、終わって、パークの中で食事したり、イルカショーを見たり、遊具で遊んだりとゆったり過ごせました。

The meeting point is in front of the Duke statue. It takes about 15 minutes to the dock. During that time, I was asked to sign an English waiver. There were just over 10 participants, and we were the only Japanese. The others spoke English, Korean, and Filipino.
At check-in, you need to present payment or a voucher to receive a ticket with the length of the rope indicated. When boarding the boat, you hand the ticket to the crew, but I don't think they check the rope length very carefully. I felt that everyone was treated the same during parasailing.
Once we headed offshore on the boat, we were fitted with parasailing equipment in the order we sat. There is storage for personal belongings at your feet, but since things can get wet and you might move seats, it's better to bring less.
Parasailing started with upbeat music playing loudly. We flew in pairs. The thigh straps served as a seat, making for a comfortable ride, similar to being on a high swing.
There were three unexpected things.
The first was that as a service, at the end of the parasailing, they drop you into the water. Americans love this kind of thing and everyone was really excited. An American on board even requested to do it twice! As a Japanese person, I wasn't quite prepared for getting wet.
The second was that a long time ago, when I did parasailing in Waikiki, it was near the beach, so I could see the coral well. This time, we were further out, so the water was deep and I couldn't see any coral, which was disappointing. There were also parasailing boats near the beach, so I think it's good to choose a tour based on your preference.
The third was that we were asked for tips on the boat. Since I participated with the mindset of a Japanese tour, I didn't have many small dollar bills on hand, which made me feel a bit apologetic.
The weather was perfect, the scenery was beautiful, and it was a very enjoyable experience without anything scary. For those considering participation, as mentioned earlier, you will get quite wet, so don't forget a bath towel. Also, bring some cash for tips.
集合はデューク像前。船着場まで約15分。その間、免責関係の英語の書面にサインを求められた。参加者は10名強。日本人は私たちのみ。他には英語、韓国語、フィリピン語…の人たち。
チェックイン時、支払いかバウチャーを提示し、ロープ長の記されたチケットをもらう。船に乗り込む際、チケットを乗務員に渡すのだが、ほぼロープ長は確認していないと思う。パラセーリング中も全員同じだとおもった。
ボートで沖合に出ると、座った順にパラセーリングの装備をつけてもらう。手荷物などは足元に収納があるが濡れたり、席を移動していくので少なめにした方が無難。
ノリノリの音楽を大音量でかけながらパラセーリングがスタート。2名ずつのフライ。
太ももの装備がイス代わりで乗り心地(?)も上々、高めの空中ブランコのような乗り心地。
3つ想定外な事があった。
1つ目はサービスでパラセーリングの最後に水中へドボンしてくれる。アメリカ人はこういう事が大好きでみんな大興奮。同乗のアメリカ人は2回つけて!とリクエストするくらい。日本人としては「え〜濡れる!」とやや心の準備が足りなかった。
2つ目は大昔、ワイキキでパラセーリングをしたときはビーチ近くでしたので珊瑚がよく見えた。今回は沖の方だったので海が深く珊瑚が見えず残念… ビーチの方でもパラセーリングのボートが出ていたので好みでツアーを選んでも良いと思う。
3つ目は船の中でチップを求められた事。日本のツアーの気分で参加したので少額のドル紙幣の持ち合わせがあまりなくちょっと申し訳なかった。
お天気も最高だったので、景色もよく、怖いこともなく、非常に楽しく参加できた。参加を検討されている方、前述の通りしっかり濡れるので、バスタオルをお忘れなく。また、チップも。

I participated in a morning tour without breakfast. It's convenient because you can go shopping in the afternoon after joining the morning tour. However, the tour only had explanations in English, which was very inconvenient. We saw the tails of three whales. The journey took about two and a half hours out at sea.
早朝の朝食なしツアーに参加しました。早朝のに参加すると午後ショッピングに出かけられるので便利です。ツアー自体は英語の説明だけでしたのでとても不便でした。クジラは3頭テール(尻尾)が見れました。海に出て約2時間半くらいの行程です。

This was our first trip to Oahu therefore our first opportunity to visit the USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor and the USS Missouri. We were staying in Ko O'lina on the west side of the island and found very few tours that originated from the leeward side. We are so pleased this tour was offered with hotel pick up.
Our guide, a doppelgänger for Santa Claus, was funny an quite informative. The amount of time provided at each site was exactly enough for us. We feel like we got to cross a few things off our bucket list thanks to this tour.
We certainly recommend this tour.

This was a must do activity and was made excellent by our host "Cousin Bo" who was informative and entertaining. The event itself was fantastic, the show was very professional and the story of the Pacific islands well executed. The fire dance at the end was visually stunning and well worth it. Location was beautiful and the trip there was pretty too. The activities and food were probably not my ideal, but we would absolutely recommend going for the actual performance. We booked the royal experience. The chief is a real comedian and the evening was good fun all round.

This was my second visit to Gunstock Ranch. This time, I mistakenly entered "Kahuku" instead of "Lai'e" into the rental car's navigation system, so I got quite lost before arriving... Upon arrival, I signed the liability waiver, had my luggage stored, and borrowed a helmet before heading out for horseback riding! The course was supposed to be one hour, but I think we ended up riding for over an hour. Last time, we had photos taken at the photo points, but this time, since the Travel Maker's donkey was with us (laughs), the staff member seemed to forget about taking pictures, so we didn't get any... However, the horses were all smart and gentle, making for a very pleasant riding experience. I would love to experience horseback riding here again on my next trip to Hawaii.

We enjoyed the cruise. The staff was very attentive to us. Dinner was first. Unfortunately the dinner lasted through the sunset and we were seated on the opposite side of the boat. So didn't really see the sunset. We did the crab legs dinner. It was nice. Make sure you get seconds when they offer. They come around a 1 time. The entertainment was fun. The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.

This time, due to time constraints, we opted for this optional tour separate from the travel agency's tour. We chose the highest height of 150 meters. There were four other groups besides us, making a total of five groups. First, we gathered at the Ambassador Hotel near our accommodation and took a trolley, arriving at the port in about 10 minutes. The check-in was quick, as we just showed the voucher saved on our smartphone, and it was done in five minutes! Then we set sail!
There were some waves, but it wasn't enough to make anyone seasick. However, one lady from the first pair slipped and hit her bottom hard (laughs). The other three groups finished without any issues. The Chinese couple in front of us handed us their smartphone, and we took a ton of pictures from takeoff to landing (including one where they were kissing).
When it was our turn, the staff asked in English, "Shall we take a photo? It's $35," to which I replied, "YES," and we got ready to fly. We were told that using a selfie stick was at our own risk, but we brought one along. The height of 150 meters was scarier than I imagined, but I got used to it after a while and was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and even whales!!! It was also fun when the staff playfully lowered us to the point where our feet got wet before we were picked up.
Since we were the last group, it felt like we flew for a bit longer. In the end, we received an SD card and paid $35 plus a tip. On the way back, instead of taking the shuttle bus, we walked along Waikiki Beach and stopped by Ala Moana Center before heading home.
We anticipated some splashes while on the boat, so we wore swimsuits. I think it's better to wear a swimsuit or clothes that can get wet. After returning, I was very satisfied to see that they had taken 70 photos for us. I highly recommend everyone to join this tour!!!
今回は時間の都合もあり旅行会社のツアーとは別にこのオプショナルツアーを申し込みました。高さは一番高い150メートルを選択しました。
自分たちの他に4組いたので計5組でした。まず宿泊していたホテルの近くにあるアンバサダーホテルに集合してトロリーに乗りそこから10分程で港に到着しました。手続きもスマートフォンに保存していたバウチャーを見せて5分で終了!そして出航!
波は少しありましたが船酔いで吐くほどではありませんでした。しかし、最初のペアの1人のおばちゃんが滑ってお尻強打してました(笑)他の3組は何事も無く無事に終了。
私達の前の中国人カップルにはスマホを渡され飛び立つところから回収されるところまで写メを爆裂撮りました。(チューしてるところも)
私達の順番になりスタッフから「写真撮ろうか?35ドルだよ」と英語で言われ「YES」と答え飛ぶ準備をしました。自撮り棒は自己責任でということだったのですが持って飛びました。
150メートルという高さは想像以上に高くて怖かったのですが、しばらくすれば慣れてしまいワイキキの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッド、クジラも見えて大満足でした!!!回収される前にスタッフのイタズラで足が水に浸かるぐらいまで降ろされたのも楽しかったです。
最後の1組だったため飛んでる時間も若干長かった気がします。最後にSDカードをもらい35ドル+チップを払いました。帰りは、送迎のバスに乗らずワイキキのビーチを歩いてアラモアナセンターに寄って帰りました。
船に乗っている間水しぶきがあると予想していたので私達は水着を着用していきました。水着を着用するか、濡れても良い服を着て行った方が良いと思います。
帰ってから撮って頂いた写真を見ると70枚も撮ってくれていて大変満足でした。
皆さん是非このツアーに参加することをお勧めします!!!

I chose Gunstock Ranch from the many horseback riding plans available. Since I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, I can't compare, but I truly recommend Gunstock Ranch. First of all, the horses are calm and easy to ride. I had no anxiety at all. I didn't understand the English explanations very well, but it's reassuring even for first-timers. And above all, the course is fantastic. There are mountains and the sea, so I wasn't bored from start to finish. This time, I took the one-hour course, and I think it's just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, my legs might get tired...
たくさんある乗馬プランの中から、このガンストック牧場を選びました。他の乗馬を知らないので、比べられませんが、ガンストック牧場は本当にお勧めです。まずは馬がおとなしくて乗りやすいです。全く不安がありませんでした。英語の説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、初めての方でも安心です。そして何よりもコースが最高です。山あり海ありで、最初から最後まで退屈しませんでした。今回は1時間コースでしたが、調度良い時間だと思います。それ以上長いと足が疲れてしまうかも・・・。

We did the campfire dinner ride. They keep it to 2 to 6 people. We were the only 2 on the ride that night so it was a wonderful private ride too. It was very pleasant not being in a line of 20 horses like other places we rode. The ride is very enjoyable. Beautiful scenery. Relaxing ride. Clean pathway. Fresh air. The campfire is at the top of a hill so it was a little breezy. We went in December so it was a little cool. Dinner was nice. Good size steak and shrimp, macaroni salad, rice, fresh fruits, smores. More than we could eat. The guide was pleasant and helped my wife the couple times her horse wanted to go another direction. She let me lead a few times while she helped my wife. We will definitely do this ride when we make it back to Oahu.

I think it's probably one of the nicer spots in the ocean around Oahu. There were quite a few corals, the sandy areas were clean, and there were plenty of turtles, so I had a decent time. The food was good, considering it's America. The staff were friendly, which was nice. The singing uncle also added to the good atmosphere.
Ultimately, it all depends on the weather. Unfortunately, it was cold, and it rained the night before, making the water murky. I would recommend visiting during a time other than winter.
おそらくオアフ島の中の海の中でではきれいな方だと思う。サンゴもまあまああったし砂地は綺麗だし亀もたくさんいてそれなりには楽しめた。食事もアメリカだと思えば美味しいほう。スタッフも親切でよかった。歌のおじさんも雰囲気が良かった。

I signed up for the movie location tour and the Secret Island tour. The morning movie location tour had unfortunate weather with occasional rain, but we were able to see beautiful scenery during the sunny intervals, and the guide's explanations were interesting, so I was very satisfied. By the afternoon, the rain had stopped, and I was excited for the 3-hour sunbathing session on Secret Island, but I encountered disappointing service. First, we were taken by bus from the visitor center to the Secret Island, and when we arrived at the dock, the driver left without saying anything, leaving us and about a dozen others to wait for 30 minutes until the boat from the opposite shore returned. When the boat finally arrived and we reached Secret Island, we were told that the return boat would leave at 2:00 PM. Since it was 12:00 PM when we got off the boat, we only had 2 hours. A white customer who was on the same boat also complained to the staff after waiting for 30 minutes and having only 2 hours of free time, but they told him to speak to the guide and did not take it seriously. In the end, the guide did not take the return bus either, and we had no chance to express our dissatisfaction. What could have been a fun trip turned out to be very disappointing due to this service.
映画ロケ地ツアーとシークレットアイランドツアーを申し込みました。午前中のロケ地ツアーは、時々雨の降るあいにくの天気でしたが、晴れ間には綺麗な景色も見る事ができ、ガイドの説明も面白く、とても満足でした。午後になると雨も止み、いよいよ3時間のシークレットアイランドでの日光浴に向けて期待が高まってきたところで、残念な対応をされてしまいました。先ず、ビジターセンターからシークレットアイランド行きのバスで送ってもらい、船着場に着いたのですが、ドライバーは何も言わず行ってしまい、残された私達十数人はそこで対岸の船が戻って来るまで30分も待ちぼうけ。ようやく迎えの船が来てシークレットアイランドに着くと、14:00に帰りの船が出るとの事。船を降りた時点で12:00だったので、2時間しか有りません。同じ船に乗った白人のお客も30分待たされた挙句、2時間しか自由時間が無いと係員にクレームしていましたが、ガイドに言ってくれと言って取り合いません。結局ガイドさんも帰りのバスには乗らず、不満を伝えるチャンスも有りませんでした。せっかくの楽しい旅行が、この対応で非常に不満の残る残念なものとなってしまいました。

I visit every time I go to Hawaii! It's a water theme park that can be enjoyed by all generations, from when my sons were little to now that they are grown. In the morning, we enjoyed various attractions like slides, but in the afternoon, we got hooked on the attraction where you ride on a board with artificial waves. It was an optional feature, but that day there was a $5 campaign for unlimited rides. We had a great time and will definitely participate again next time!
毎回ハワイに行ったときは行っています!息子たちが小さい時から今はもう大きいですがどの世代にも楽しめるウオーターテーマパークです!
午前中はいろんなスライダーなどのアトラクションで楽しみましたが午後は人工の波でボードに乗るアトラクションにはまりました。オプションですがこの日は5ドルのキャンペーンで乗り放題。かなり楽しめました。また次回も参加します!
Aloha Rachel,

We participate as a family every time. You can go by The Bus or rent a car, but the shuttle service is convenient. There are thrilling attractions as well as activities for small children, so people of all ages can enjoy it.
毎回、家族で参加しています。ザ・バスやれんたかーでも行くことはできますが送迎付きが便利です。激しいアトラクションもあり小さいお子さん向けの遊びもありでどの世代でも楽しめますよ。

My wife wanted to go, so we included it in our itinerary. Surprisingly, I didn't feel much fear; once we were up in the air, it was a world of silent wind and scenery, and I truly felt like a bird. The time spent up there wasn't very long, but the satisfaction was high.
In the tour we participated in, the staff had a playful spirit, and there were some fun little anecdotes before and after landing (I'll keep the details to myself). Overall, it was a great experience.
家内が行きたがっており、旅程に組み込みました。
案外怖さは感じず、上空に上がると音のない風と景色だけの世界で、まさに鳥になった気分でした。時間はそう長くありませんでしたが、満足度は高いです。
私たちの参加したツアーでは、スタッフさんに茶目っ気があり、着水前後にちょっとした小ネタがありました(詳細は伏せます。)。それも含めて、楽しかったです。
