The basic English support was available, but there was also a Japanese explanation video for horseback riding, which I watched, so even though it was my first time riding, I quickly understood how to ride.
You wear a helmet while riding. You can leave your luggage in a locker and bring valuables and drinks with you (they lend you a pouch).
I was very satisfied with the experience as I could enjoy the scenery of both mountains and the sea in the great outdoors. The horses were also very well-behaved. It was a bit disappointing that the instructor's explanations about the location were often too far away to hear, but they took several photos for me and sent them to my smartphone. For lunch, I had fish and chips at the café inside Kualoa. It was delicious. I had some concerns after reading reviews that mentioned having too much free time, but I ended up not having enough time as I was busy looking at souvenirs.
基本英語対応ですが、乗馬の際の説明ビデオは日本語もあり、そちらの映像を見せていただいたので初めての乗馬でしたが乗り方はすぐに理解できました。
乗馬の際はヘルメットを被ります。荷物はロッカーに預けて、貴重品と飲み物を持参できます。(ポシェット貸してくれます)
大自然の中で山と海両方の景色が楽しめて大満足です。お馬さんたちもお利口さんでした。インストラクターの場所等の説明が遠くて聞こえないことが多々あったのがちょっと残念でしたが、、、何枚か写真も撮っていただきスマホに送っていただけました。ランチはクアロアの中のカフェでfish and chipsを食べました。美味しかったです。口コミに自由時間は時間を持て余すと書かれていたのを見ていたので不安でしたが、お土産を見たり時間が足りないくらいでした。

Overall, this experience was awesome! The sandbar was about a 3 mile kayak away from where you dock. Not super difficult, took us about 30-40 minutes to get there and once we did, it was awesome. the tide was a little high, the water went up to just below my neck and I'm 6 feet tall. We went out at 11 am. There's not much to see snorkel-wise at the sandbar, which was relayed to us by the staff setting us up. It was just a nice place to stand in the middle of the ocean and have a snack or two. They were also clear on where go on the sand bar and where the restricted zone was.
After the sandbar we went out to the coral reefs just around the corner of where we started. By then though, the sun wasn't too bright (it was a gloomy-ish day). we could only see maybe 10 feet in front of us in the water and all the fish were either hiding or just not there. Coral was nice to see and swim around though. Saw sea turtles in the distance but none in the water while we were in it. Finding the snorkel zones were actually pretty difficult. We spent about 20-30 minutes finding good spots, but there are no markers out there so I'm not even sure if we were in the spots they marked on the map. Only 2 other kayakers came to this area, tried looking around but all gave up after maybe 5-10 minutes.
Still had fun overall though, would do it again. Hopefully they add markers out of the water next time though.

We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.

I made a reservation about a week before traveling to the United States, but it seems to be a popular activity, and the desired morning time was fully booked, so I opted for an available afternoon slot. The sand was quite intense, and my whole family ended up covered in sand from head to toe, but we had a great time. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.

I had previously been taken care of a few times, and this time I requested private lessons for my daughter, who just started elementary school (7 years old)! She was a bit scared at first, but Matt-sensei taught her in a fun way, and before we knew it, she was doing nice rides multiple times! Despite being scared and cold, it seems she had a great time.
I was also able to ride a few times nearby with a board I rented separately, which became a wonderful memory.
Since they incorporate some Japanese while standing, I think even those who can't communicate in English can enjoy it enough. I want to go to Hawaii again soon; thank you for your help next time as well!
私が以前数回お世話になっており、今回は小学校に上がった娘(7歳)のプライベートレッスンをお願いしました!
少し怖がったりもしていましたが、マット先生が楽しく教えてくれて、気づけば何度もナイスライドをしていました!こわい&寒いなりに楽しかったようです。

立ってなどは日本語も交えてくれるので、英語だコミュニケーション取れない方でも十分楽しめるかなと思います。

I was able to feel close to Hawaii while running through the great outdoors. Since there are steep slopes and narrow areas along the way, being able to handle a bicycle to some extent is a requirement.

The show was overall good, especially the fire dance at the end. And the chief is quite talented because he needs to run the show, tell jokes and play drums.
Anyway,
This luau is inside the water park, and we use the restroom inside the water park which is a 5 minutes away from the luau place. Before the sun goes down, it’s very hot and sweaty. And we don’t have much space while seating. The experience was not pleasant.
Also, after everyone takes a picture and ready to seat down, they give u a cup of mai tai and takes one of the drink tickets. Don’t take that Mai Tai drink right away, just go to the bar section for the drinks.
And there are one thing I can’t figure it out, before the buffet starts, they showed us a roast pig and said this is gonna be one of the main course tonight. And everyone go line up for the buffet, the only dish pork-related is the pull pork which has nothing to do with the roast pig for sure. And they didn’t cut the roast pig in front of everyone. It looks like the roast pig is one of the actor for the luau.
For the price we are paying, we expect more.

Our guide was the nicest and most welcoming guide with a good sense of humor. He also took so many photos and videos of us along the way and AirDropped them to us afterwards without anyone even asking him too. Also the ATV riding was awesome and everybody needs to make sure they take a turn to drive. Just don’t be like my wife and wear a white tee if you ever expect to wear it white again as the red dirt will do a number on it. 100% we will be doing this again next time we are in Hawaii and will recommend this to everyone.

I signed up for a 150m course at the request of my 13-year-old niece. I was initially worried since it was about the height of a five-story building, but the wind was stable, so it wasn't as scary as I thought. The view was, of course, amazing! The guide made jokes and interacted with us, making the time on the boat enjoyable. You can fly while holding a selfie stick.
I thought the meeting place was a bit hard to find, but they sent a Google Maps link in the final instructions, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.
It's a unique experience, and I'm glad I did it! Highly recommended!

I gave my name at the reception and waited for about 30 minutes. After that, we boarded and set off.
You can basically leave your luggage on the ship, so there are no issues.
At first, they said, "I'll take your photo for $40," and I asked them to take some memories for me. There was a bit of backlighting, but there were many good photos. The backlighting added a nice touch. I was satisfied because they took a lot of pictures for me.
The parasailing was explained in English, so I was a bit anxious, but I left it to the staff and just went along with it. It went really high and felt great. At the end, they dipped my toes in the sea, which was playful and nice. I didn't get too wet, and my face didn't get wet either.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, during my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, I consulted with a major Japanese travel agency's Waikiki tour desk, but they had no offerings. The Japanese tour desks that were available locally were all out of service, and I was about to give up. However, I contacted Veltra online from my hotel in Waikiki and completed my reservation, allowing me to enjoy a helicopter tour without any issues.
The local staff at the helicopter tour desk were friendly and helpful, and even with my zero English skills, I was able to enjoy a tour of Oahu without any problems.
I will continue to use this service in the future.

It was myself and my 17 and 16 year old sons. The tour guides on the trail at the ranch were really nice and informative. So cool to ride through the ranch, up the mountain and overlook the water. Beauty every where you looked. Also, the scenes were movies were filmed was fun to see.
You do get dirty - it was very dry when we went so lots of dust. If it’s wet I image you’re covered in mud. They give you goggles and buffs to cover your nose and mouth. You need them! Another reviewer suggested to bring wipes to wash your face afterwards- solid advice. We did that to get some of the dirt off our faces. Plenty more came off in the shower. Haha
The bus to/ from was comfortable and clean. Only not so great thing I can say is there was a very long wait time from when we arrived at the ranch until our scheduled tour started. Had I known that I maybe would have rented a car and drove up on our own. Price would have been Equivalent, and plenty of other places to stop in along the way. All in all it was a great adventure and I definitely recommend it!

Aloha Will! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave this review and feedback! Stoked to hear that overall you had a good experience. And I am glad to hear our staff did a good job of describing the details of where to go and where not to go. That is important because you are correct, there aren't really any signs or many markers out there. Sadly we're not permitted to put anything like that out there. Most of the reefs only have very basic reef markers that are installed by the State's Division of Aquatic Resources, and us putting any other signs or markers out there would be strictly prohibited. And certainly the visibility can vary, but I'm glad to hear that overall it sounds like you had a good time. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
