Oahu
After arriving at the ranch, you will receive an explanation of the facilities from staff who speak Japanese, and the subsequent check-in, briefing, and activities will be in English. You can check the driving instructions for the buggy in a Japanese video, so I think there won't be any issues.
If the weather looks suspicious, don't forget to grab a poncho available for rent on-site! I was caught in a downpour during the activity and got completely soaked, but I thoroughly enjoyed racing around the off-road course in the buggy, taking in the magnificent scenery and sets that I had seen in movies. I highly recommend it!
牧場到着後、日本語ができるスタッフから施設内の説明を受け、その後のチェックインからブリーフィング、アクティビティは英語になります。バギーの運転は日本語ビデオで確認できますので、問題ないと思います。
雲行きが怪しい場合、現地で貸出しているポンチョを忘れずに! 私はアクティビティ中にスコールに見舞われズブ濡れなりましたが、オフロードをバギーで駆け巡り壮大な景色、映画で見たことのあるセットを堪能し大満足です。是非お勧めします!
The team really went out of their way to give us a great day out on the water, and went out looking to make sure we saw turtles.
We are booking next time we go already
Was a great day and the team were amazing and really looked after us
I signed up without meals. It was enjoyable enough. The fire show was particularly impressive. I was surprised to see a hula dancer with a big belly.
食事なしに申し込みました。それなりに楽しめます。ファイアショーが特に迫力があってよかったです。フラのダンサーにおなかが大きい人がいて
びっくりしました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflare Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the fire knife performance. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ファイヤーナイフも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。
On the day of the tour, it was raining on the bus, but by the time we boarded the boat and reached the area where the whales were, the rain had stopped and the sun peeked out, which was great. The color of the sea was very beautiful.
We didn't see any large whales, but we did catch glimpses of what seemed to be a baby whale! We saw its tail several times and parts of its body, which was wonderful.
Inside the boat, snacks, light meals, and drinks were available for purchase. Since the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.
I believe this is a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from the elderly to small children.
当日、バスの中では雨でしたが、、船に乗り鯨のいる場所につく頃には雨も止んで太陽ものぞいてくれたので良かったです。
海の色がとっても綺麗でしたよ
大きい鯨には、会えませんでしたが、、赤ちゃん鯨でしょうか?!何回も尻尾が見えたり、体の一部が見えたり良かったです。
船内では、スナックや軽食・飲み物が有料販売有りでした。
船内が冷房が強いので、、羽織るもの1枚持っていくといいと思います。
ご年配の方から小さいお子様まで、一緒に楽しむことのできるツアーだと思います
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that the weather was clear and you were able to observe the baby whale. We hope you can see a whale jump next time as well. Please come again; all of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
お天気も晴れて赤ちゃん鯨をご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。次回は鯨のジャンプも観れたら良いですね。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
This was a good choice, very knowledgeable of reef and endangered animals , Fun Responsible Worth it ,More for Adults then small kids but they do have small children aboard . Cheeseburger lunch included alcohol to purchase, fee softdrinks water juice. Do this you won't regret a minute.
Totally enjoyed our tour with Squid. He was so informative, giving us great information about each place we visited (as well as places we passed along the way). Loved the high energy music he played on the bus, which energized the group. Loved the shrimp lunch, which was included. Kudos to Squid. I highly recommend this tour to others. You will not be disappointed.
I was picked up at the Hyatt at 7:25 AM, and we arrived at 9:00 AM. My 3-year-old child got tired just from being on the bus for an hour and a half. It was disappointing that we could only see the tail this time, as it didn't leave a lasting impression on my child.
7時25分にHyattでpick upしてもらい、着いたのは9時でした。
3歳の子どもは、1時間半バスに乗っていただけでも疲れてしまいました。
今回はテールしか見られず、子供にとって印象が残らなかったのが残念でした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We apologize for the delay in the arrival of our shuttle bus and for your child becoming tired. We hope to see many whales next time. Please do visit us again. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
私共の送迎バスの到着までの時間がかかったこと、そしてお子様もお疲れになったことをお詫びいたします。次回は鯨が沢山観れたらと思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, which is about an hour away by shuttle bus from Waikiki. Unlike horseback riding experiences in Japan, here you hold the reins and control the horse yourself, which was a lot of fun. The instructions for riding are easy to understand by watching a video in Japanese. Once on the horse, the guide provides various explanations and directions, but it is mainly in English. Even if you don't understand the language, the horses are smart and will follow the horse in front, so there's no need to worry.
You need to store large items like backpacks in lockers beforehand (credit card payment available at the machine next to the lockers for $5). It was raining a bit, so I tried to wear the poncho I brought, but I was told it was dangerous and couldn't wear it. There is a raincoat available for free rental, which I used, but I was a bit concerned about the dirt on it. Since the ground was muddy, mud splashed onto my shoes and pants while riding, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
ワイキキから送迎バスで約1時間ほどのクアロア牧場で乗馬体験を行いました。
日本で体験する乗馬とは違い、自らの手で手綱を握り馬を操作する乗馬でとても楽しかったです。
乗馬の説明は日本語のビデオを見るため簡単に理解できます。馬に乗ってからはガイドの方が色々と説明や案内をしていただけますが基本的に英語となります。言葉がわからなくても馬が賢く前の馬について行ってくれるので困ることはありません。
リュックサックなどの大型の荷物は事前にロッカーに預けておく必要があります(ロッカー横の機械でクレジット決済可 $5)
少し雨が降っていたため持参したポンチョを着用しようとしましたが危険とのことで着用できませんでした。無料でレンタルできるカッパがあり着用しましたが少し汚れが気になりました。
地面がぬかるんでいたことから乗馬中に跳ねた泥が靴やズボンについてしまったため汚れても良い服装で行くのが良いかと思います。
The ladies that took us on our ride were absolutely delightful. They were thorough about safety and just lovely to talk to. They obviously care very much for the horses and know them well.
The evening was beautiful despite the risk of rain and the timing was perfect to have photos with the sunset behind us.
My only negative was that it was advertised as a 90 minute ride and it was only 60 minutes.
I participated in this tour in early February 2023. One of the things I wanted to do in winter Hawaii was whale watching, and since my hotel was Aulani, I joined this tour departing from Ko Olina Marina.
It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Aulani to Ko Olina Marina, and about 5 minutes by car. The tour included four alcoholic drinks, so I walked there instead of driving, but I was a bit tired on the way back (^_^;).
Upon arriving at the marina, the check-in area was easy to find. I signed in on the list, received a wristband, used the restroom, and boarded the boat. There were about 15 to 20 guests at that time, but we were the only Japanese group. All the explanations were in English, but a young Japanese male staff member came later to explain in Japanese, and he also supported us during snorkeling, which was very helpful!
After the boat headed out to sea, we encountered a mother and baby whale! I was incredibly excited to see the whales spouting water and their tails coming up to the surface with my own eyes! Since it was an evening tour, we didn’t see any dolphins, but I was very satisfied to have encountered the whales.
After that, we went to the snorkeling point and enjoyed snorkeling. During this time, we encountered a sea turtle. I was moved to see it coming up from the bottom of the ocean for air, floating on the surface, and then returning to the ocean floor, all from a very close distance! The water was a bit cold during this season, but I was glad I participated in snorkeling! After snorkeling, it was chilly, so I changed from my swimsuit to regular clothes in the boat's restroom. The restroom was a bit spacious with shelves, making it suitable for changing. There were two restrooms, one on each side at the back.
After snorkeling, we enjoyed dinner and the sunset. The dinner was served on a single plate, but it was piled high, so I was full! The taste was also delicious. The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful.
I think this is a highly recommended activity for those staying around Ko Olina!
2023年2月上旬に参加しました。
冬のハワイでやりたい事がホェールウォッチングで、宿泊ホテルがアウラニだったのでコオリナマリーナから出発するこちらのツアーに参加しました。
アウラニからコオリナマリーナまでは歩いて片道25分くらい、車だと片道5分くらいです。ツアーにアルコールが4本かな?含まれていたので車は使わずに歩いて行きましたが帰りはちょっと疲れました(^_^;)
マリーナに到着して受付の場所はわかりやすかったです。名簿に記帳してリストバンドを付けて、御手洗を済ませてボートに乗り込みます。
この時は15名?20名??くらいお客さんが居ましたが日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。
色々な説明は全て英語でしたが、若い日本人男性のスタッフさんがあとから日本語で説明しに来てくださって、その後のシュノーケルもサポートしてもらえたのでとても助かりました!
ボートが沖に出て少しするとクジラの親子に遭遇出来ました!肉眼でクジラの潮吹きや海面の上に出てきた尾びれを見られてものすごく興奮しました!夕方のツアーなので時間的にイルカは見られませんでしたがクジラに遭遇出来たので大満足でした。
その後シュノーケルポイントに行って、シュノーケルを楽しみました。この時に海亀に遭遇出来ました。海の底から息をにし浮上してくる様子や海面をぷかぷかしている様子、また海の底に帰って行く様子を近づくことが出来るギリギリの距離で見られて感動しました!
この時期の海はちょっと寒かったですが、でもシュノーケル参加して良かったです!
シュノーケルの後は寒かったのでボートのおトイレで水着から私服に着替えました。おトイレは少しだけ広めで棚とかがあったので着替えスペースも兼ねている感じでした。おトイレは後方左右に1つずつ計2つありました。
シュノーケルが終わるとディナーとサンセットを楽しみます。ディナーはワンプレートですがモリモリに盛ってもらえたのでお腹いっぱいになりました!味も美味しかったです。ボートからのサンセットもすごく素敵でした。
コオリナ周辺で宿泊されている方にはとてもおすすめのアクティビティだと思います~。
Better than expected, would definitely attend again. Good family entertainment.
The experience was fantastic, saw whales as well as dolphins. The staff was very impressive as well, showed us a lot of stuff while we were snorkeling as well as from the boat. Staff was very knowledgeable and personable! Food was OK. Ship was very nice! We had a great time, would highly recommend!
This tour is gorgeous. You are able to take awesome pictures all over the park and guides are nice and knowledgeable.
I will do it again for sure.
I thought it would get dirty, but it didn't get dirty at all.
We visited three filming spots.
I was looking forward to the Jurassic Park area, but we couldn't film at the places we wanted to go.
The bus tour went to a different filming location with the buggies. I was a bit shocked, but the fun outweighed that.
I panicked a bit when I mistakenly put on the seatbelt wrong and the speed wouldn't pick up, but the instructor fixed it for me, and after that, everything went smoothly.
I didn't understand the English, but I had a great time.
汚れると思ったけど全然汚れませんでした。
撮影スポットでは3箇所まわりました。
ジュラシックパークの所を楽しみにしてましたが、行きたい所で撮影はできませんでした。
バスツアーの方がいっており、バギーはまた違う所で撮影でした。少しショックでしたがそれ以上に楽しさが勝ちます。
シートベルトをミスしてつけてるとスピードが出ず焦りましたが、インストラクターの方が直してくれてその後はスムーズに進行しました。
英語はわからなかったですが十分楽しめました。
I went to the location by rental car since it was mentioned that there was a validation service. When I showed the parking ticket to the staff and asked about it, I was told that the service is not available this year. It seems there was an error in the information provided, which is disappointing.
During the cruise, I was able to enjoy taking photos of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.
As the ship was returning to the port, there was an announcement at 9 o'clock that something would be visible, and the ship moved a bit, but then there was another announcement at 10 o'clock, unfortunately, I couldn't see it. It seemed that many others also missed it. Even if some people were able to see it, it appears that rescheduling is not guaranteed for those who couldn't, which is unfortunate.
It is very cold on the ship, so a jacket is a must.
バリデーションのサービスがあると記載されていたので、レンタカーにて現地へ向かいました。スタッフにパーキングチケットを見せて聞いたところ、今年はそのサービスはやっていないとの返答。記載内容に誤りがあるようで残念です。
乗船中は海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に撮ったりと楽しむことができました。
船が港へ戻る際9時に見えると放送があり少し船が動いたのでその後10時の方向と放送がありましたが、残念ながら見る事が出来ませんでした。他にも見れなかった方は沢山いたようでした。自身が見れなくても見ることのできた人がいればリスケジュールの保証外となるようで、残念でした。
船上はとても寒いので、上着必須です。
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu cruise. We apologize for any disappointment caused by the lack of validation services. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to have you witness a whale jump next time. Please do visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号クルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
バリデーションのサービスがないことで残念な思いになられたことをお詫びいたします。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。次回は鯨のジャンプをご観測出来ればと思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
It was a fun experience at night in Waikiki. You can participate without a mask. After ordering a Blue Hawaii at the bar counter, I was able to enjoy the show.
The distance between the audience and the dancers was just right.
Men swam down from the ceiling, and there were performances featuring Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and hula, all packed into one exciting show. Time flew by as the energy continued to build.
At the end, there was a great bonus where you could take photos with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
ワイキキの夜の楽しい体験です。マスクなしで参加出来ます。バーカウンターでブルーハワイをオーダーしてから観劇出来ました。
観客とダンサー達の距離感がちょうど良く
天井から男性が泳いできたり
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソン ファイヤーダンスにフラとてんこ盛り。盛り上がり続けてあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。
最後はエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンとお写真が撮れるという大サービスもありました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Blue Hawaii cocktail and the entertainment. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ブルーハワイのカクテルも、エンターテインメントも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。
always wanted to paddle out to the sandbar, but unfortunately picked the gale force wind day of the week to try it. On arrival seeing the white caps and some amateur kayakers struggling to paddle 10ft in the wind, basically paddling in place, I knew that this was going to be a rough adventure. Talking to the young staff girl, she stated that we could get a refund for the inclimate weather and typed it into the notes to the booker veltra. I said absolutely and we'll save this adventure for a different day. Thankyou state park girl, and because of that I would book this again.
Aloha! Thank you so much for this feedback. Please do come back and see us again for a sandbar kayaking adventure! Hopefully the bay will give us calmer, less windy conditions for you next time! Mahalo.
After three years, I finally got to go on the sandbar tour!! The crew was fun, and I was satisfied to see many turtles! It was windy, but the hamburgers were delicious! Thank you!
3年ぶりにやっと行けたので、サンドバーツアーへ!! クルーの皆さんが楽しくて、亀さんにもたくさん会えて満足です!風強でしたが、ハンバーガーもおいしかったです!ありがとうございました!
We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. The cruise was wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment.
Check in was simple and organized.
I was able to get my parking validated by purchasing coffee at a shop before checking in.
We saw a whale in the distance while on this cruise.
Good place but too busy and understaffed. Would do it again.
Aloha Tyl,
Thank you for your comment. We will do our best to increase our staffs in the park. Again, Thank you and looking forward to seeing you in the park soon.
The day was so fun and easy. The transportation met us at the collection point (and returned us in the afternoon). At the boat jetty, we were welcomed with Alohas. We spent some time on the sandbar to explore, and play a game of volleyball. We then gently motored for some turtle spotting. After that, we were taken to the beautiful coral reef where we snorkelled and flippered around, what a sensation! I thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ and hot chocolate!
Hawaii is profound.
Of course, there’s the ocean, but the northern part of Oahu has rugged mountains and greenery. I thoroughly enjoyed a two-hour horseback ride while taking in the magnificent scenery.
It was a solo trip, but I had quite a lot of fun.
Hawaiiは奥が深い。
海はもちろんですが,オアフ島北部は険しい山と緑があります。その雄大な景色を見ながら,乗馬たっぷり2時間堪能しました。
一人旅でしたが,けっこう楽しかったですよ。
The ship was so large that I imagined I would see whales from a distance, but in reality, I was able to see them up close multiple times, which was amazing.
船が大きいので、クジラは遠くに見るようなイメージだったが、実際には近くで、何度も見ることができ最高だった。
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe whales up close multiple times. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号クルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラを何度も近くでご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
The guide's friendly demeanor was great. During the round-trip shuttle ride, there were various explanations about the area, which were helpful.
ガイドさんのフレンドリーな対応が良かった。行きかえりの送迎車の中でも、地域のいろいろな解説があり、参考になった。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It was great that we were able to see turtles at two locations, Keyhole Lagoon and Sandman's Patch, despite the strong waves that day. We will continue to work hard to ensure our customers are happy, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I would like to guide you further out. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
この日は波が強かったことから、キーホールラグーンとサンドマンズパッチの2か所で亀に会うことができて良かったですね。
これからもお客様に喜んでいただけますように頑張りますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。
今度は沖の方をご案内させていただきたいと思っております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
On the fourth day of our honeymoon, we went horseback riding! After checking in, we listened to an explanation in Japanese on a monitor and were guided to ride the horses. After that, the instructions were in English, but the instructors and staff were all very nice, which made me feel at ease. Riding through such magnificent scenery, which words cannot fully express, was a precious experience, and I’m really glad I did it!
After the approximately two-hour tour, I wanted to eat a hamburger at the same facility, but I missed the 4 PM cutoff, so if you're interested, please pay attention to the time! I was so satisfied with this tour that I would love to do it again if I have the chance to come back to Hawaii!
新婚旅行4日目に行きました!
チェックインをしたらモニターで日本語での説明を聞き、案内され馬に乗りました。その後は英語での対応でしたがインストラクターやスタッフの皆さんとてもいい方で安心しました。言葉では伝わらないほど壮大な景色の中、馬に乗りながら歩けたのは貴重な経験で本当にやってよかったです!!
約2時間のツアーが終わったら同じ施設にあるハンバーガーを食べようと思いましたが、16時までで間に合わなかったので気になる方は時間に気をつけてください!またハワイに来る機会があったらやりたいくらいこのツアーに参加できて大満足です!
I participated in other activities as well, but my high school-aged child said this was the most fun. My elementary school-aged daughter was scared of snorkeling and couldn't get in the water, so she didn't enjoy it as much. I thought it was great to experience various cultures through songs and dances. There were many staff members, so I felt safe participating. I highly recommend this tour.
他のアクティビティにも参加しましたが高校生の子供は1番楽しいと言ってました。小学生の娘はシュノーケリングが怖くて中々入水出来ずイマイチとの感想てました。歌や踊りなど色々な文化にも触れられて私は良かったと思います。
スタッフも多く安心して参加させて頂きました
大変オススメ出来るツアーだと思います。
Both our tour guides were great. They were funny and attentive. I really enjoyed learning about the history of the land and driving the atv . Def recommend wearing the gear they provide, it gets dusty and you get dirty. It was a lot of fun.
We came to Waikiki for our honeymoon. Since my wife wanted to see a Hawaiian show, we decided to book this experience. The welcome, dinner, hula practice during dinner, and hula show were all exactly as we imagined and were fantastic.
During the meal, there was a couple next to us who came from Los Angeles. The atmosphere was so good that we were able to get to know them well. Additionally, we were able to see shows featuring performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which was very enjoyable.
ハネムーンでワイキキに来ました。
妻がハワイアンショーを見てみたいとのことでしたので、
今回の企画を予約してみました。
お出迎え→デイナー→デイナー中のフラ練習→フラショー鑑賞
すべてイメージ通りで最高でした。

Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, the performances by Elvis and Michael, as well as the Hawaiian show. Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Such a fun tour, you'll drive an ATV through Kualoa Ranch. beautiful view.
