Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.

I tried three activities: jet skiing, bumper tubing, and parasailing. It was all my first time, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました. The bumper tubing was especially intense with the centrifugal force, and I was desperately hanging on. However, one disappointing thing was that there was no changing room after the activities, so I had to change in the restroom. If there had been a changing room, it would have been perfect.

The snorkeling lasted just under an hour, but it was quite exhausting. For me, it was the right amount of time. I was also able to enjoy seeing the sea turtles. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. With unlimited soft drinks, I didn't have to worry about hydration. A larger towel is definitely a must.

Very well organized tour with beautiful scenery throughout. There is so much opportunity to take lots of pictures and interact with movie props, etc. There is also a variety of activities to do. However, this review is only for the Movie sites and ranch tour. The tour was perfect for those who cannot endure bumpy ride such as the elderly and pregnant. My mother was comfortable and did not complain about it being too rough. Our tour guide made it really special. He was very informative and engaging. Also, you can tell that he really enjoys what he is doing and really has a passion for movies and discussing them. I also love the fact that he was willing to take pictures Group/families. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who loves nature and movies, or would just like to spend a 1/2 day at Kuaola ranch.

Firstly, my stepmother, my sister, and I had SO MUCH FUN! We knew going into this that based on the price and other photos we saw of the tails that these would not come out looking like "realistic" mermaids.
They had a variety of stretchy fabric tails to choose from in various sizes and some to fit larger body types. You can tell the tails have been through the ringer a bit with stains and small tears but none of that showed in the pics.
Mickey was amazing! He was patient, funny, kind, and had many poses in mind. He used a gopro for all of the shots, taking mini videos for you to pull pictures from). The lagoon we shot at was a bit murky so couldn't really get that many underwater pictures.
We definitely got some good shots but I (a professional photographer including boudoir) had to give a lot of direction to him and to my family. I was also able to save/make a lot of the shots pretty due to photoshop. Otherwise there would have been lots of pics of us from overhead like my hair flip photos which should have been taken from much lower/straight on to get the full effect of the hair flip.
In no way was that Mickey's fault, though. I think the company mainly has men under their employment and mostly focuses on scuba diving so I can imagine none of the guys are vying to do the mermaid session and therefore make the youngest, newest employee do it. It's management/the owners that should consider having whoever does the mermaid experience have some photography training even if a cheap, online one. Mickey did AMAZING with the skillet he had and was an absolute pleasure to work with and be around.
At the end of the day, for the price, and the experience we'd definitely would recommend. Just know you're not walking away looking like a real mermaid with breathtaking photos. Lol.

Great cruise, all staff, especially our service assistant, were extremely pleasant, professional, and efficient. A very good buffet with carved roast beef, delicious chicken and fish, everything. Fireworks show a bit difficult. In order to see it well people had to run to one side of the ship, not only tilting the ship a bit but making it even more difficult for people who didn't want to dash to the side to see. This was only a minor observation.

I visited Kailua Beach for the first time. I was truly impressed by its beauty, which is indeed ranked number one in the United States. I recommend renting a bike (beach cruiser) as an option to extend your trip to Lanikai Beach, which is right next to Kailua Beach. Lanikai Beach had mostly white visitors, giving me a sense of being abroad. Since I had some extra time, I rode my bike to downtown and enjoyed exploring like a local. The locals weren't wearing masks either. If you rent a bike, please be mindful of traffic rules and etiquette.
初めてカイルアビーチに行ってみました。

It was a relatively large water park that you can't experience in Japan. Since it was a weekday in mid-October, there were fewer visitors compared to peak times, and we could enjoy almost all the attractions without much waiting. I had a great time reliving my childhood with thrilling drop slides that felt like zero gravity and wave pools. Due to the season, about a quarter of the attractions were closed, but we still had fun! The bodyboarding was the most enjoyable, so I recommend the bodyboard package.
There is a bag check at the entrance. I believe I was informed that one unopened plastic bottle is allowed (though I think locals brought water bottles, but I don't remember the details). Inflatable rings are not allowed, but there are plenty available inside the park, so there's no need to worry. The coin laundry costs $13 (small) and $18 (medium), and we chose the medium for two people. While card payments are accepted, many people experienced errors, so it might be safer to have cash on hand. You can access the lockers as many times as you want throughout the day. There are showers and changing rooms near the lockers, but the water is not hot, so it can be a bit chilly.
There were about five food and drink sales points, but on that day, there was only one staff member serving, which caused a line during lunchtime. Since I was wearing a tour wristband, I wasn't asked to show a copy of my passport when paying by credit card.
The park is located near the highway, so you can't access it without a car. If you're not on a bus tour, you would need to take a public bus and then use Uber (about a 5-minute ride) to get to the park, or rent a car. Unlike public buses, a tour bus allows you to sleep comfortably on the way back, so I recommend the bus tour. Additionally, the Japanese female tour guide was very kind, making it a reassuring experience. She even took some photos for us.
日本では経験できない比較的大規模なウォーターパークでした。10月中旬の平日であったせいか、ピーク時と比べると利用者は少めであり、どのアトラクションも殆ど並ぶことなく利用できました。無重力空間を体験できるような急降下スライダーや波のプールなど、童心に帰り楽しむことができました。時期的なこともあり1/4くらいは休止中でしたが、それでも楽しめました!ボディボードが一番楽しかったので、ボディーボード付きプランをおすすめします。
エントランスで荷物チェックがあります。未開封のペットボトル1本は持ち込み可能と説明を受けた気がします(地元の人は水筒を持参していたような気がしますが、詳しく覚えていません)。浮き輪などは持ち込み不可です。園内にうきわはたくさんありますので、心配ありません。コインランドリーは13ドル(小)、18ドル(中)があり、二人で(中)を選択しました。カード対応ですがエラーになっている方も多かったので、現金をもっていた方が安心かもしれません。出し入れは終日何度でも可能です。ロッカーの近くにシャワーと更衣室があります。お湯は出ないので、少し肌寒いです。
フードやドリンクの販売窓口は5個くらいあったのですが、当日はスタッフが1名で対応しており、昼食時は列ができていました。ツアーのリストバンドを付けていたせいか、クレジット決済時にパスポートのコピーの提示は求められませんでした。
本パークは高速道路の近くに位置しているので、車以外では入れません。バスツアー以外ですと、パーク近隣まで公共バス+歩行禁止区域を5ウーバーで移動(5分程度)またはレンタカーを使用することになると思います。公共バスと違い、ツアーバスであれば帰路で熟睡できるメリットもありますので、バスツアーがお勧めです。また、日本人女性の添乗員さんがとても親切で、安心して過ごすことができました。お写真も撮ってくださいました。

It was my first time parasailing.
First of all, the boat ride to the point was so pleasant and amazing! Taking off wasn't particularly scary, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki from above. I even had enough time to take photos with my phone in a waterproof case.
It was fun to fly myself, and it was also enjoyable to watch others take off.
As for the water splash, I saw someone getting soaked on YouTube, so I asked them to keep it mild... and they really did! It was just a little splash, so unless you're really afraid of water, I think it's better not to make that request to enjoy it more.
The local staff were very kind, giving me water for motion sickness and letting us wait in the car when we arrived early.
I would love to join this tour again the next time I go to Hawaii!
初めてのパラセイリングでした。
まずポイントに移動する船が気持ちよくて最高!飛び立つのも特に怖くなく、上空でワイキキ一望できる景色を堪能しました。防水のスマホケースに入れて撮影もできるくらいの余裕はあります。
自分が飛ぶのも楽しいし、他の方が飛んでるのを見るのも楽しかったです。
水ジャポンは、YouTubeでじゃぶじゃぶされている人がいたので控えめで・・・とお願いしたら本当に控えめでした笑 1回チャポンくらいだったので、よほどお水が怖くないのでなければそんなお願いしない方が楽しめるかと思います。

The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.

Overview:
The meeting point is at the back of the airport. If you're coming from a hotel around Waikiki, you can take an Uber or a taxi. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes if traffic is light. However, during busy times (like weekday mornings), it could take twice as long. I took about 40 minutes to get there from the Marriott Resort (near the zoo) on a weekday morning. I was a bit late, but I contacted them in advance and it was okay.
After arriving, we received a brief explanation. It can be a bit chilly up in the air (around 15 to 20 degrees in October), so it's good to have long sleeves and long pants (even if they're thin). Beach sandals might fly off, so it's better to wear sneakers or something that won't easily come off (worst case, you'll be barefoot). It's bright up there, so sunglasses are recommended. You can take photos with your smartphone or camera. They provide special straps to prevent dropping your devices, so there's no need to bring your own. Since it was my return day, I brought my suitcase, but they kept it indoors for me. However, for security reasons, it's recommended to put valuables in a locker. They also provided hair ties for those with long hair.
After that, we watched a video explanation and headed to the helicopter. There were four of us, including my spouse, with two in the back and two in the front. We were lucky to sit in the front (which is probably equivalent to first class). Due to the noise, we wore headsets. The pilot provided various information via radio while we were in the air.
The aerial journey lasted about 50 minutes. Those sitting by the window might feel a bit scared since there's no door, but I enjoyed it without much fear. We were warned not to stick our bodies or hands outside, but the wind felt like a concrete wall, so it was practically impossible to do so. There was little turbulence, making for a graceful trip. I was able to capture various spots with my GoPro.
After the flight, they showed us the photos taken before boarding and the video recorded during the trip on a monitor. You can purchase the photos for $35, the video for $65, or both for $85 (prices may vary). I bought the photos and shared my email address to receive the data.
Impressions:
I went on the last day of my trip, and personally, it was a great decision. Seeing the places from above allowed me to reflect on my memories, like realizing how far it is from Waikiki or how beautiful everything looks from above. If you're good at English, listening to the pilot's explanations can provide a lot of knowledge (I struggled with it and had my wife explain later). The photos are very beautiful, and even if they're a bit pricey, I think it's worth purchasing them as a memory. If you haven't filmed yourself, buying the video might also be a good idea.
All the staff were very friendly. Even when I arrived late, they guided me very politely, and they were always bright and kind both on the ground and in the air.
After the flight, if you're heading straight to the airport, it takes about 50 minutes on foot, so an Uber or taxi is essential.
It's definitely not a cheap activity, but I believe it's an experience worth having.
概要:
集合場所は空港の裏側。もしワイキキ周辺ホテルから行く場合はUberやタクシー等での移動。空いている場合は15~20分ほど。ただ時間帯的に混む場合(平日の朝など)は倍ほどかかる可能性。私はマリオットリゾート(動物園近く)から平日朝向かったら40分ほどかかりました。それなりの遅刻となりましたが、事前に連絡を入れたとことOKとのこと。
到着後簡単に説明を受ける。上空は少々寒い(10月で15~20度ほど?)ので長袖長ズボン(薄くても)あると良い。ビーチサンダルは飛んでいくかもしれないので、スニーカーか脱げにくいものを(最悪裸足となります)眩しいのでサングラス着用を勧められる。スマホやカメラでの撮影は可能。落下防止のストラップ等はあちらで専用のものを貸してくれるのでわざわざ持っていく必要なし。帰国の日だったのでキャリケースも持っていきましたが室内に置いておいてくれました。ただ防犯上貴重品だけはロッカーに入れることをおすすめします。長髪の方は髪を縛るゴムも貸してくれました。
その後動画で説明を聞いて、ヘリへ。我々夫婦含めお客は4名で、後ろ2名、前2名。我々はラッキーなことに前(おそらくファーストクラスと同等)に乗車。騒音のためにヘッドセット着用。パイロットが上空で無線で色々と案内をしてくれます。
上空の旅は約50分、窓側の人はドアがないので少々恐怖を感じるも私はあまり感じず楽しめました。体や手を外に出すなと注意されていましたが、風がまるでコンクリートの壁ようで、出そうにも室内に跳ね返されるので実質無理。揺れはあまり感じず、優雅な旅に。goproで様々なスポットを撮影できました。
終了後、乗車前に取ってくれた写真と、旅中に室内を撮影された動画がモニターに映され、写真35$、動画65$、両方で85$(値段は変更の可能性有)で購入可能。写真購入し、メルアドを教えることでデータを共有いただけます。
感想:
旅の最終日に行ったのですが、個人的には大正解でした。行った場所を上空から見ることで、あーここに行ったのかー、ワイキキから結構遠いんだなーとか、上から見るとこんなにきれいなのかーとか、ここでUber拾ったなーなんて、思い出と照らし合わせながら楽しめます。英語が得意な方は上空のパイロットの説明を聞いてると様々が知識が得られます(私は苦手&無線は厳しいため、後で妻から教えてもらいました)。写真はとてもきれいで、少々高くても思い出に購入してもいいかと。動画は自身で撮影してなければ購入してもいいと思います。
スタッフは全員とてもフレンドリーです。遅れて行ってもとても丁寧に案内していただき、地上でも上空でも常に明るく親切にしていただきました。
終了後、もしそのまま空港に行かれる場合は、徒歩で50分ほどかかると出ましたので、Uberかタクシーが必須です。
決して安いアクティビティではありませんが、それでも体験する価値が大変あると思います。

It was an incredibly fun and unique experience, like flying in the vast sky! From a height of 150 meters above the sea, I could see Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii; it felt like a dream.
It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I would be sitting in a chair while flying. I didn't realize that you sit in a harness like on a zip line, which made my bottom feel a bit unstable and added to the thrill. It was a little scary, but the fun definitely outweighed it! It might be tough for those with a fear of heights...
Also, they took photos during the experience that you can purchase for $40. Instead of just one photo, they gave me the entire microSD card with 120 images! If you want, they can connect it to your iPhone on the spot to transfer the photos, but I couldn't do that since I have an iPhone 15 with a type-C port (;^ω^).
For your reference, here are some concerns I had before the experience and my actual experience:
- I was a bit worried that I might feel nauseous like I do on roller coasters, but I didn't feel that sensation at all.
- I had heard from various people that the boat ride to the parasailing spot makes you really seasick, but since I don't usually get motion sickness, I was completely fine. In fact, the boat rocked quite a bit, which I found enjoyable, and the wind felt great. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.
- The staff were locals, and they helped me put on the safety gear while explaining things in simple Japanese, like "lift your legs," so it went smoothly. You don't need to worry if you don't understand English.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable activity without any worries. I would love to do it again if I get the chance!
大空を飛んでいるような唯一無二の体験ができて最高に楽しかったです!
海上150mの高さからからダイヤモンドヘッドやハワイの街並みが見えて、夢のような時間でした。
パラセイリングは初めてだったのですが、椅子に座って飛行するものだと思っていたのでジップラインのようにベルト?に座って飛行することを知らず、おしりが不安定でなかなかスリルがありました。
少し怖かったけど、断然楽しさが勝ちます!高所恐怖症の方には辛いでしょうが…
また、体験中の写真を撮ってくれて40ドルで購入できるのですが、1枚だけではなくmicroSDごとくれて、120枚のデータが入っていました!
希望すればその場でケーブルに繋ぎiPhoneに転送もしてくれますが、私はiPhone15でtypeCなのでダメでした(;^ω^)
以下ご参考までに、体験前に不安だった事と実際の体験談です↓
・私はジェットコースターの胃が浮く感覚が苦手なので胃がふわっとしないか少し不安だったのですが、そういう感覚は全くありませんでした。
・色々な人から「パラセイリングに行くまでの船がめちゃくちゃ酔うよ!」と聞いていましたが、もともと乗り物酔いをしない体質という事もあり全く酔いませんでした。むしろ船がけっこう揺れるのが楽しくて、風が気持ち良かったです。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでいった方が良いと思います。
・スタッフの方は現地の方ですが、救命道具の着用は「足あげて」等と簡単な日本語で説明しながら手伝ってくれるのでスムーズでした。英語がわからなくても心配いりません。
こんな感じで、不安もなく本当に楽しいアクティビティでした。
機会があればまたやってみたいです!

Since it was early in the morning, the weather was clear, and the water was beautiful, I was able to see various types of fish. Four years ago, I encountered sea turtles and seals in the same spot, but unfortunately, I didn't see them this time.
However, the couple who guided us were great; the husband spoke Japanese well and pointed out interesting fish, saying things like, "Look, there's ●●!" which made it really enjoyable. At one point, when some participants got tired, the wife went back to the shore with them, and when I got too caught up in taking photos and was left behind, they noticed and helped me catch up. Their consideration for everyone to have a good time was very much appreciated.
During the car ride to and from the location, they shared a lot of information, which was really fun.
I tried to take photos with my Google Pixel 7 Pro in a waterproof case, but about 80% of them turned out blurry, so I regretted not bringing my GoPro. However, the guide uploaded some photos to Facebook, which I was able to download for free! I felt grateful to have beautiful photos capturing the scenes I experienced.
朝イチだったこともあり、晴れていて海の中もきれいで色んな種類の魚に会えました。4年前には同じ場所でウミガメやアザラシにも会えたのですが、今回は会えずでしたが・・。
でも、ご夫婦でガイドをされていて、旦那さんも日本語が上手で、面白い魚がいると「●●がいるよー」と声をかけてくれてとっても楽しめました。途中で疲れた方は奥様と一緒に先に岸に戻って・・といったことや、撮影に夢中になってみんなに置いてかれている私を見つけて引っ張って行ってくれたりと、参加者みんなが楽しめるような気遣いもとっても感じました。

Google Pixel 7Proを防水スマホケースに入れて撮影を試みましたが、8割がたピンボケしていたのでやっぱりGoPro持っていけばよかったと思いました。ただ、ガイドさんが撮影した写真をいくつかFacebookに上げてくれているので、それをDLさせていただきました(無料です)!自分がみた光景をきれいな写真に残せている気分でありがたかったです。

I don't watch movies very often, so I didn't feel much excitement about "this is the filming location of that movie," but the scenery was beautiful, and it was fun and pleasant to drive at our own pace!
We were all geared up with goggles, helmets, and neck guards (for masks?), but a lot of sand got into little gaps and our ears, making us quite dirty, almost like our eyebrows were connected (laughs).
There were some places, especially on my face, where the dirt didn't come off even after washing with water or wiping with wet tissues, so if you have plans after the activity, I think it's better to go with some extra time to wash your face and redo your makeup. I knew my clothes would get dirty, so I brought a change of clothes and ended up throwing away what I was wearing (the dirt seemed like it could be washed out normally though).
Considering the downside of getting dirty, the enjoyment outweighed it, so I think everyone should try it at least once!
映画はあまり見ないので「ここがあの映画のロケ地なんだ」という感動はあまり感じられませんでしたが、景色もいいし、運転も自分たちである程度緩急つけられて楽しかったし気持ちよかったです!
ゴーグル・ヘルメット・マスクがわりのネックガード(?)すべて装着して乗っていましたが、ちょっとした隙間や耳の穴などに砂がたくさん入ってきてかなり汚れて眉毛がつながったみたいになりました(笑)
水で洗ったりウェットティッシュで拭いたりしても落ちないところ(特に顔)があったので、アクティビティの後も予定を入れている場合は、時間に余裕をもって行って、洗顔してメイクし直した方がいいなと思いました。
服が汚れるのはわかっていたので、着替えを持って行って、来ていた服は捨てました(ふつうに洗濯すれば落ちそうな汚れでしたが・・)。
汚れるデメリットを鑑みても楽しめた方が上回ったので、1回は体験してみてほしいなと思いました!

Our Movie Sites Tour driver was fun, knowledgeable and just a cool guy. The checkout lady at Auntie Pat’s Cafe was so friendly and funny. The whole day from pick-up to drop-off went so smoothly. We originally booked without transportation as we were going to rent a car but latter changed and added transportation. Kualoa staff are so professional. Highly recommend any tour there.

We were a tarty of 4 (two couple) from California:
1. Overall impression is okay but not great because the steak was served cold and chewy.
2. Dancing activities are great!

This time I was with my 3.5-year-old, and thanks to the flippers, they were able to swim smoothly! The kids said this trip was the most fun they've ever had, and it seems they really enjoyed jumping off the boat. The hamburger was hearty with a strong meat flavor, large, satisfying, and delicious—I was very pleased! The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the kids loved the warm cocoa after coming out of the sea. The staff were all wonderful, and the beach volleyball and conversations were fantastic. Thank you so much!!!!
今回小学3.5年と一緒でしたが、足ビレがあるおかげでスイスイ泳げていました!子供達は今回の旅で一番楽しかったと言っていて、船からの飛び込みも楽しかったようです。ハンバーガーはミート感がしっかりあって、大きく食べ応えがあり美味しくて大満足です!!ドリンクも飲み放題で、子供たちは海から上がった後のあったかいココアがお気に入りでした。スタッフさん達も皆さん素敵な方ばかりでビーチバレーにトークもサイコーでした。本当にありがとうございました!!!!

I experienced ziplining for the first time, and three enthusiastic staff members supported me. At first, I was scared because I have a fear of heights, but once I tried it, I had a lot of fun and felt a sense of exhilaration. I want to come back again! ♪
初めでジップラインを経験しました、3人のノリノリスタッフがサポートしてくれました。最初は高所恐怖症だったので怖かったですが、いざ体験すると楽しくて爽快感を体験することが出来ました。また来たいです♪

I forgot to bring motion sickness medication, but the friendly staff provided some for me. The boat ride to the parasailing spot was quite bumpy, so it's better to bring motion sickness medication.
It was more thrilling than I expected and I had a great time.
酔い止めを持ってくるのを忘れたけど、親切なスタッフが渡してくれました。
パラセイリングの場所までの船が結構大きく揺れたので、酔い止めは持って行った方が良いです。
思ったよりも迫力あって楽しかったです。

Dinner was luxurious and filling.
Although we shared a table, it didn't bother me, especially since it was a round table.
The dinner was hearty, and the show was immersive and enjoyable.
ディナーは豪華でお腹いっぱい。
相席でしたが、円卓で特に気にならなかったです。

The staff were all kind and amazing. Although there was no shuttle service, it was a nice walk from Outrigger Waikiki. The 150m world was silent.
スタッフの方も皆さん親切で最高でした。送迎無しでしたがアウトリガーワイキキから歩いてちょうどいい散歩です。150mの世界は無音でした。

We participated as a family with our two small children! The food was delicious, the sunset view was absolutely wonderful, and the show lasted a long time, so we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly without getting bored! Considering how fulfilling it was, I think it was a great value for the price. The staff were very kind to our small children as well. Great service, great value, everything was just amazing, so our family decided to leave a tip on our way out! Of course, tipping was not mandatory. The next time we go to Hawaii, we definitely want to make a reservation again!
小さな子供2人を連れて家族全員で参加しました!ご飯は美味しいし、サンセットビューは素敵すぎるし、ショーも長くやって下さるので、飽きもせず終始思いっきり楽しく堪能することが出来ました!こんなに充実しているのに、お安いと思うくらいコスパ良しです。小さな子供にもスタッフの皆さんとても優しかったです。サービス良し、コスパ良し、すべてにおいて最高すぎて私たち家族は帰り際にチップをお渡しさせて頂きました!もちろん、チップは強制ではありませんでした。次回ハワイに行く時には、また必ずご予約をさせて頂きたいです!

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.

Really well organised activity with Kaimana Tours. Our driver Koa was excellent, providing lots of insights to the surroundings during our drive there. Pickup was on time, in a comfortable spacious van. We arrived and were first in line to get tickets which was simple and organised. The snorkeling gear was great, both sizing and quality for what we needed. I’d recommend going on the 6am pickup, as by the time we left at 11, it was getting really busy and there were not many places with shade. Kaimana offer umbrellas & chairs for hire too.
