Oahu
During our honeymoon last year, I was interested in this show, and I participated during this trip. The buffet was filling, and I almost missed the desserts, so I rushed in and enjoyed them. There was also a show during the meal, with hula shows, rock shows, and fire dances on the stage, which kept us entertained one after another! Thank you very much!
昨年のハネムーン時に、こちらのショーが気になり、今回の旅行時に参加させて頂きました。
ビュッフェはお腹いっぱいになり、デザートに気付かず、慌てて駆け込み、詰め込みで堪能しました
食事中にもショーがあり、館内のステージでも
フラショーや、ロッキンショー、ファイヤーダンスと、次々と楽しませてくれる構成で楽しかったです! 有難うございました!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflor VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience this time, especially after your interest last year. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。昨年度お気にかけて頂き、今回は楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The scenery at Hanauma Bay was different from what I saw over 30 years ago; it has been beautifully maintained, with strict management including entry restrictions and video presentations of the rules. Thanks to this, the underwater environment was very clear, and I was able to see many fish and even a rare eel that is seldom seen, even by guides.
Although it was a super low tide, which meant I couldn't meet a honu, and I struggled with my goggles and taking breaks, resulting in swallowing seawater multiple times, my guide held my hand the whole time, allowing me to fully enjoy snorkeling! Thank you very much for your great support!
30年以上前に訪れた時のハナウマ湾の光景とは違っていて、綺麗に整備され、入場制限やルールのビデオ上映など、管理も徹底されていました。お陰で?海中はとても綺麗で、たくさんの魚たちやガイドさんでも滅多に見られない?希少なウツボも見ることが出来ました。
スーパー引き潮だったので、ホヌに会えなかったこと、ゴーグルとの相性が悪く、息抜きも下手だったので、何度も海水を飲んじゃいましたが
ガイドさんにずっと手を引いてもらい、無事にシュノーケリングを満喫出来ました!大変お世話になり有難うございました!
Originally, I was scared and not good at going into places where my feet couldn't reach, but I wanted to try it at least once in my life, so I participated. It was deeper and scarier than I had imagined, but thanks to the instructor who kindly spoke to me and held my hand all the way through, my dream came true. Also, it's better to borrow and wear a wetsuit. My companion was bare-chested, but their back turned red, and the shape of the life jacket straps was imprinted on it (laughs).
元々、足の届かない所に入るのは怖くて苦手でしたが、一生に1度はやってみたいと思い参加。
思っていた以上に深くて怖かったですが、インストラクターの方に優しく声をかけて頂き、最後まで手をつないでリードしてくれたお陰で、夢がかないました。
それとウエットスーツは借りて着用した方がいいですよ。連れは、上半身裸でしたが背中が赤くなり救命胴衣のヒモの形がついていました(笑)
The captain has a charming personality, so even though we don't speak Japanese, we can manage through feelings! We exchanged videos with a Japanese person♪
日本語は通じませんが愛嬌があるキャプテンなのでフィーリングでなんとかなります!
日本人の方と動画を撮りあって交換しました♪
It was fun to drive on the open off-road surrounded by mountains, but sand gets into your mouth and ears, so it would be good to have a mask that covers your mouth and ears. There is a group self-introduction time before departure, and there are several stops along the way for explanations and quizzes. Since some level of communication in English is required, it can be a bit challenging for shy individuals.
山に囲まれたひらけたオフロードを走れるのは楽しかったですが、口の中や耳の中まで砂が入ってくるので、口元や耳を覆うマスクがあると良いです。
出発前のグループでの自己紹介タイムや、途中何度か下車して説明やクイズなどがあります。
そこそこ英語でのコミュニケーションを求められるため、人見知りにはハードル高いです。
The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.
高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念
We participated as a family of three, including my husband and daughter. The staff supported my husband, who is not a good swimmer, allowing us to enjoy scuba diving. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were also excellent. We would love to participate again next year.
夫婦と娘の3人で参加しました。金槌の夫をスタッフ皆さんでサポートしてくださり、スキューバを楽しむことができました。船上で焼いたハンバーガーも抜群。来年も是非参加させてください。
I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling, and it was amazing! It was the most satisfying activity I did in Hawaii.
ウミガメは見れませんでしたが、十分な時間シュノーケリングを堪能できて最高でした!
ハワイで行ったアクティビティの中で一番満足度が高かったです。
Since it was the season, there were only English instructors, but there was no problem as we watched Japanese videos on how to drive in a Japanese group! Driving the Raptor on rough roads felt like an attraction and was fun, and the scenery was beautiful. There were stops at key points where we could get off and take photos, making it a very good experience! Since we drove on muddy roads and it might rain along the way, it's better to put any belongings you don't want to get dirty in a locker or in a bag!
時期的にも英語のインストラクターのみだったのですが、運転の仕方などは日本語の映像を日本人グループで見たので問題なしでした!
道が悪いところをラプターで走るのがアトラクション感があって楽しく、景色も綺麗、要所要所で止まって降りて写真撮影できる時間があるのでとても良い体験でした!泥道を走ったり、途中雨が降ったりすることもあるので、汚れたくない荷物はロッカーに入れるか袋に入れた方がいいです!
The whole experience was wonderful, the barbecue was great. Snorking was amazing, the crew was amazing.
I had a great time enjoying content that can't be experienced in Japan.
I think even small children can enjoy horseback riding on their own if they meet the height requirements. It may take a little time to get used to handling the horse.
Horseback riding in the magnificent nature, which is hard to capture in photos, is the best!
日本では体験のできないコンテンツが楽しめ大満足です。
小さいお子さまも身長制限をクリアすれば1人で乗馬できとても楽しめるとおもいます。
馬の操作はなれるまで少し時間がかかるかもです。
写真ではわからないほどの壮大な自然の中する乗馬は最高です!
It was my first horseback riding experience, but thanks to the well-behaved horses, I was able to complete it without any issues. It was a non-stop two hours, so I was a bit tired and my back became quite sore, but I feel it was the best experience. As advice for those who will go in the future, I recommend bringing a waist pouch. There are few places to secure valuables on the horse, so it's convenient to have.
初乗馬でしたが、お利口な馬たちのおかげでなんなく終えることができました。
2時間休みなくだったので少々疲れたのと、背中はだいぶ筋肉痛になりましたが、最高の経験になったと感じます。
これからの方へのアドバイスとして、ウェストポーチを持っていくことをおすすめします。
馬につけられる貴重品が少ないので、あると便利です。
First, during the buggy experience, we hopped on powerful off-road buggies and raced across the vast ranch. The thrill of jumping and climbing steep hills was unforgettable. Despite getting muddy, the exhilarating experience in nature was truly enjoyable. Under the guidance of our instructor, we were able to have fun safely.
Next, on the movie location tour, I learned that Kualoa Ranch has been the filming site for many famous movies. The tour took us to locations featured in classic films like "Jurassic Park" and "Pearl Harbor." The landscapes and iconic scenes we saw in the movies unfolded right before our eyes, making it feel as if we had stepped into the world of the films.
まず、バギー体験では、パワフルなオフロードバギーに乗り込み、広大な牧場内を疾走しました。迫力満点のジャンプや急な坂道を駆け上がるときのスリルは忘れられません。泥だらけになりながらも、自然の中でのスリリングな体験は本当に楽しかったです。ガイドの指導のもと、安全に楽しむことができました。
次に、映画ロケ地巡りツアーでは、クアロア牧場が多くの有名な映画の撮影地となっていることを知りました。ツアーでは、『ジュラシック・パーク』や『パール・ハーバー』などの名作映画の舞台となった場所を訪れました。映画の中で見た風景や名シーンが目の前に広がり、まるで映画の世界に入り込んだような感覚でした。
We have been to Hawaii for 20+ years. This was our first time for this ATV tour and we had fun. The guides Kidra and Logan were a lot of fun and they were very knowledgeable about the ranch and the island as well. We had fun and learned a lot about move we love. This is one of those thing we will do again.
Best way to get to see all museums if you are touring on your own!
Great day on the water!! We got to see dolphins and the water was crystal clear it was nothing short of amazing
The boat was a bit rocky.
The food was delicious but felt cheap.
The fireworks were amazing.
If the boat were bigger, maybe the rocking would be less.
船が少し揺れやすくよいました
ご飯はおいしかったが 安っぽかった
花火は最高でした
船が大きければ揺れは小さいのかも
It was my first time ziplining, and I had a great time. Since there was no pickup service, I rented a car and easily made my way to Coral Crater Adventure Park. I booked the morning plan, and afterward, since Waikele Outlet is not far away, I was able to make the most of my day. It would have been even better if it were a bit more affordable, but I was satisfied because I could enjoy it safely and fun. There was also a plan with seven lines, but three lines were enough for us.
初めてのジップラインでしたが、すごく楽しかったです。
ピックアップはなかったので、レンタカーを借りて、コーラルクレーター・アドベンチャーパークへ迷うことなく行けました。午前のプランに予約を入れ、終わってからはワイケレアウトレットも遠くはないので、効率よく回れました。
できればもう少しお値打ちに体験できれば、もっと良かったですが、安全に楽しく遊べたので満足です。
7本のプランもありましたが、私達には3本でよかったです。
To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, we enjoyed snorkeling at a sandbar, just like we did on our honeymoon. It was with a foreign tour company that has a name just one letter different from "Heaven," and all the staff were extremely friendly. A Japanese staff member was in charge of the tour, and the larger of the two boats that set sail was completely full of Japanese passengers.
After enjoying the sandbar, we had lunch with BBQ hamburgers prepared by the captain himself. Following that, we were able to snorkel for a full hour around the coral reef where sea turtles are found, and we returned to port while watching the sea turtles. It was a truly satisfying experience.
結婚35周年の節目にあたり、新婚旅行で体験したサンドバーのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。「天国」さんと一字違いの外資系のツアー会社ですが、スタッフ全員が非常にフレンドリーで日本スタッフのお姉様がツアーを仕切っており、2隻出航した大きい方の船は乗客全員が日本人で満員でした。
サンドバーを楽しんでから船長自らBBQしたハンバーガーなどの昼食を食べた後は、ウミガメがいる珊瑚礁の周囲をたっぷり1時間シュノーケリングすることができ、ウミガメウォッチングをしながら帰港するなど大満足の体験でした。
The food was ok. The noodles were the best part. The entertainment wad better definately. Did not get to see as much sunset due to the mountains.
It's a small aquarium, but the tour itself was wonderful, and I had a great time without feeling bored. My parents (65 years old) were also satisfied.
小さな水族館ですがツアー内容自体素晴らしく、時間を持て余すことなくとても楽しめました。両親(65歳)も満足していました。
It was the day after we arrived in Hawaii, but I was able to walk energetically. The group members were friendly, with an equal mix of Japanese and international participants, and the two guides led us in both Japanese and English, making the hike enjoyable.
ハワイ到着の翌日でしたが、元気に歩けました。
参加メンバーも和気藹々、日本人と海外の方と半々でしたが、ガイドさんお二人が日本語と英語で引率、楽しくハイキング出来ました。
My husband praises Chieko's ability to take care of my health despite my lack of sleep.
This was my third time participating, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind each time.
Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate again.
寝不足の私の体調にも気配りして下さり、チエコさんの能力を夫は賞賛しております。
今回で3回目の参加でしたが、毎回安心してスノーケリングが楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。
又必ず参加したいと思います。
It was a fun time driving the four-wheeler for the first time, taking turns with everyone. Riding the buggy through the great outdoors was a delightful experience. It brought back memories of various movie and drama scenes, making it a very enjoyable time. Thank you!
四輪バギー初体験でみんなで
変わりがわりに運転しました。
大自然の中をバギーで巡る楽しいひととき
でした。
色々な映画やドラマのシーンが
思い出されてとても楽しい
時間でした。
ありがとうございました。
I had been curious about the horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch for a long time. It was great to have such a unique experience in nature.
It was my first time riding a horse, and I was scared, but I managed to get on. It was a bit tough since I had to put some strength into my legs. (I did end up with sore muscles the next day, haha.)
I'm not sure if there are several courses, but on this day, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the Jurassic Park signs or bones, but I still had a lot of fun. If I could have spoken English, I might have been able to ask about it...
The path we walked was quite narrow, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it was also fun. We enjoyed views of the ocean, walked along narrow paths, and passed right next to a herd of cows.
Since you can't carry any bags while riding, I put everything in a locker. I only took my smartphone, secured it with a strap to my belt, and kept it in a pocket where I could easily access it, but you have to hold the reins with both hands to avoid dropping it, so it's at your own risk. If you want to take photos, it's best to attach a strap to your smartphone or something similar to ensure it doesn't fall. Your own safety comes first.
The instructor kindly took some photos for us, which was nice.
Wearing long pants is a good idea. The horse can get a bit messy, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, haha.
I was satisfied with the cute souvenirs I bought. There are light snacks available, but the food might be tastier after returning to Waikiki?
I actually wanted to try the ATV experience as well, but it wasn't available that day. During the free time, I looked at the animals in the park. Next time, I definitely want to experience the ATV ride too.
ずっと気になっていたクアロア牧場の乗馬体験。大自然の中貴重な体験ができて良かったです。
初めての乗馬で怖かったですが、何とか乗れました。足に力を入れるので少し大変でした。(次の日筋肉痛にはなりました笑)
コースがいくつかあるのか分かりませんが、この日はジェラシックパークの看板や骨は見られず、少し残念でしたが十分楽しめました。
英語が話せたら聞けたかもしれませんが……
かなり狭い道を歩いていくのでヒヤヒヤしますご、それも楽しいです。
海を眺めながらや、狭い道、牛の群れの真横を通ったりとしました。
荷物は持って乗れないので全てロッカーに入れました。スマートフォンだけベルトにストラップを固定して、すぐ取り出せるポケットに入れて持っていきましたが、綱を両手で持っていないと落ちるので自己責任。
写真を撮りたい方は、スマートフォンなどにストラップを付けて、絶対に落ちないようにした方がいいです。自分が落ちないのが最優先ですが。
インストラクターの方がご好意で写真を撮ってくれていたので良かったです。
長ズボンが良いです。馬が勢いよくもよおすので、汚れます笑 汚れてもいい服装がベストです。
可愛いお土産も買えて満足でした。軽食もありますが、ワイキキとかに帰ってからの方が美味しいかも?
本当はバギー体験もしたかったですが、この日は無く。空いた時間は園内にいる動物を見たりしていました。
次は是非バギーも体験したいです。
The hotel pickup location was ready earlier than the scheduled time. After checking IDs, we boarded the bus (it was a large bus that day) and headed to Kualoa. Upon arrival, our names were called, and we received our tickets. At this point, Japanese guests can receive their tickets from Japanese staff, who provide explanations about the facilities in Japanese, so there’s no problem for those who don’t speak English at all.
The tickets indicate the start time of the activities and the return bus schedule. For those riding horses, since you can't bring luggage, you can store your belongings in a locker for $5, which you can access in and out. They lend you a pouch that can be attached to the saddle, so you can bring water or a camera.
Before the activities, we watched an explanatory video (they ask what language you prefer), and they help you choose a horse that seems compatible with you, and then it’s time to ride. You don’t really need to control the reins because the horses are so smart and capable; as long as you ride quietly without burdening them, the horses will navigate the path on their own. If they suddenly stop, it’s usually for a bathroom break. (Laughs) But it’s still important to hold the reins properly for safety.
We only passed by the filming locations of Jurassic Park, with no stops or photo opportunities. Other tours with buggies or bicycles allowed for free photo-taking.
After the two-hour horseback riding, we had about 40 minutes of free time. You can browse the souvenir shop or have a meal. Right after the ride, a photographer takes individual photos, which can be purchased for $20 each at the entrance of the souvenir shop.
The return bus varies by destination, but you line up, confirm your name, and board the bus.
I thought it was great how efficiently everything was organized. We rode through the forest, but we also went to open areas with good sunlight, so sun protection is important. Additionally, you can’t get water, and even at the shop, a 500ml bottle costs about $3.50, so it’s best to bring your own.
The restrooms were clean, and even the portable toilets were spacious, not smelly, and well-maintained, unlike those in Japan.
I rode with my mother, who has difficulty walking, but the staff chose a horse suitable for her, and all the horses were very smart, so I was a bit worried, but everything was perfectly fine. However, riding for two hours does make your backside sore. (Laughs)
I definitely recommend participating at least once!
ホテルのピック場所は集合時間よりも早めに待機してくれてました。IDチェックしてバスに乗り込み(この日は大型バスでした)いざクアロアへ。
着いたら名前を呼ばれ、チケットを渡されます。
この時に、日本人は日本人のスタッフからチケットを貰えて、日本語で施設の説明等をしていただけるので、英語が全くな方でも問題ないです。
チケットにはアクティビティの開始時間、帰りのバスの時間が記載されています。
馬に乗る人は、荷物が持ち込めない為、$5で出し入れ可なロッカーに荷物を預けます。
馬の鞍に着けるポーチを貸して貰えるので、水やカメラぐらいであれば持っていけます。
アクティビティの前に説明ビデオを見せられ(何語?と聞かれます)自分に相性が良さそうな馬を選んでくれて、いざ乗馬。自分で手綱を持って操る…必要が無いぐらい馬が賢く利口なので、静かに馬の負担にならないように乗っていれば、全部馬が自分で道を進んでくれます。
途中急に立ち止まったりしたら、大抵おトイレです。笑
でもやっぱり危険なので、手綱はちゃんと持っていました。
ジュラシックパークの撮影場所は通過するだけで、停まったり写真タイム等はありません。他のバギーや自転車で周るツアーは降りて写真撮影自由にしていました。
2時間乗馬が終わったら、40分ぐらい時間があります。お土産屋を見たり食事をしたり出来ます。
乗馬して直ぐにカメラマンの方に写真を一人一人撮ってくれますが、その写真は1枚$20でお土産屋の入口で買えます。
帰りのバスは行き先毎に異なりますが、列に並んで名前を確認されてバスに乗り込みます。
かなり無駄無くテキパキと動けるので良いなと思いました。
森の中を乗馬で歩きますが、日当たりがいい開けた場所も行くので、日焼け対策は大事だと思います。また、水はもらう事は出来ず売店でも500が1本$3.5ぐらいしていたので、持参が良いです。
トイレも綺麗で、仮設トイレっぽいトイレも中は日本と違って広く、臭く無く、綺麗です。
今回私は脚が悪い母と乗馬しましたが、スタッフの方が、その人に合う馬を選んでくれ、何より賢
い馬ばかりなので、少し心配でしたが、全く大丈夫でした。。。ただ2時間も馬に乗るので、お尻は痛いです。笑
是非一度参加してみてください♪
This trip was amazing! Dan was patient with my daughter and I not being swimmers and got us comfortable in the water. We had the best time seeing all the beautiful fish and are excited for the next chance we can snorkel! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! Photo taken by Dan!
Thank you guys, you did. Awesome! Hope we see you again. Dan.
Wonderful, my family was very happy and excited, an unforgettable experience
The signal to encourage the horse is probably the sensation of pressing your heels against its belly... It seems that tapping around the arch of the foot doesn't convey the message.
お馬さんへの進めの合図は
踵を腹に当てる感覚かな…
土踏まずあたりで遠慮して
たたいてもわからないみたい…
Everything was great. We saw turtles and enjoyed the reef. It was a little difficult to eat lunch on the boat as there were not really any good seats for it. But the burgers were delicious.
