Oahu
I chose the plan where someone would drive for us because I wanted to take lots of photos and videos. The guide was wonderful, and while listening to cheerful music from the speakers, we enjoyed beautiful scenery and occasionally experienced a thrilling ride that felt a bit like a roller coaster. 😊 The only downside was that I lacked English skills, so I couldn't understand the guidance and explanations provided by the guide. Next time, I want to improve my English skills and participate!
いっぱい写真や動画が撮りたかったので、運転してもらうプランを選びました。ガイドさんは素敵な方でスピーカーからの陽気な音楽を聴きながら綺麗な景色を見て、たまにスリルある運転でちょっとしたジェットコースター体験が出来ました😊少し残念だったのは自分が英語力がなく、ガイドさんがしてくれて案内や説明が理解出来なかった事です。次は英語スキルを身に付けて参加したいです!
It wasn't mandatory, but I had so much fun that I gave a tip at the end!
強制ではなかったけど、すごく楽しかったので、最後にチップを渡しました!
I had a super fun and enjoyable time riding the buggy!! It's a shame that we couldn't stop at the photo spot where they filmed Jurassic Park.
めっちゃ楽しく気持ちよくバギーできました!!ジュラシックパークの撮影現場で使われてたとこが写真スポットとして止まってくれなかったのでそれが残念です。
I participated in the 3-hour course. The 2-hour course seemed to have many participants, but the 3-hour course had only three groups, allowing us to listen to detailed explanations at stunning viewpoints and movie filming locations while having plenty of time to take photos. Every spot felt like a rare opportunity to see such breathtaking scenery, making it an incredible experience!
3時間のコースに参加しました。
2時間コースは参加者が多そうでしたが、3時間コースは参加が3組で、絶景や映画の撮影ポイントで詳しく説明を聞きながら、たくさん写真を撮る時間がありました。
こんな絶景なかなか見られないと感じるところばかりで、最高の時間になりました!
Since communication will primarily be in English on-site, I think you'll enjoy it more if you have a certain level of English proficiency!
現地では基本的には全て英語でのコミュニケーションになるため、ある程度英語ができると楽しめると思います!
Our driver who picked us up was watching a program on his phone and not paying attention to the road. Once we arrived and started our UTV tour it was amazing and worth every dollar. Our tour guide was excellent. The only problem was speakers in our UTV were hard to hear and need upgraded. The guide did take time to tell us about things in detail about what we had passed by and things to come ahead. Such a beautiful place I hope the ranch is maintained for generations to come.
Improve the microphone and speaker system in the UTV's .
Make sure city bus drivers are focused.
As I controlled the buggy through the rough terrain covered in dust, I soon arrived at a breathtaking viewpoint. While drinking the cold mineral water given to me by the guide, I listened to the explanation about the stunning scenery.
The next stop was aimed at the filming locations of movies like Jurassic World. The familiar sights that appeared one after another reminded me of those days.
悪路を砂ぼこりに塗れてバギーをコントロールしてると、すぐに絶景ポイントに到着。
ガイドさんから貰った冷たいミネラルウォーターを飲みながら絶景の説明を受ける。
次からのポイントは、ジェラシックワールドなどの映画撮影現場を目指す。次々に現れる見覚えのある光景はあの頃を思い出す。
You might think that the goggles are unnecessary, but they could be essential. Also, trust the performance of the Made in Japan Kawasaki buggy and dare to challenge the bumps!
いらないかなって思ってたゴーグルは必要かも知れません。
後、Made in Japanカワサキのバギーの性能を信じて、敢えてデコボコにチャレンジしてみてください。
The magnificent scenery was truly wonderful! The reception staff were fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to participate in the activities. I had a great time!
雄大な景色がとても素晴らしかったです!
受付も日本語堪能な方が対応していただき、すんなりアクティビティに参加できました。
とても楽しかったです!
The reservation was fully booked, so I opted for the plan where I could have a buggy driven for me, and it was a lot of fun! The rain actually made it feel magical and wonderful!
予約が空いておらず、バギーを運転してもらうプランにしましたが、とても楽しかったです!
雨も逆に幻想的で素敵でした!
Sam was a great leader and the ranch was a great experience we will never forget !
I was planning to drive using my husband's driver's license (the actual one), but I forgot it in the hotel safe...! Fortunately, I had a clear photo of the license, so when I consulted with the staff, they checked the image and allowed me to drive after I showed my passport and signed a waiver. I'm really glad I was able to drive! I had mistakenly switched to a digital license, so based on this lesson, I issued a physical card after returning home. Having the actual document is definitely stronger overseas.
夫の免許証(実物)で乗る予定でしたが、ホテルの金庫に忘れてしまいました…!
たまたま免許証を綺麗に撮った画像を持っていたので、スタッフに相談したところ、その画像を確認したのち、パスポートの提示と注意事項へのサインのようなもので許可がおりました。乗れて本当によかった!
自分はマイナ免許証にしてしまっていたので、この教訓を元に、帰国後にカードを発行しました。海外では実物が強いですね。
It was a two-hour buggy course, but it felt longer than I expected! At the end of February, it was a cloudy day, so I got cold from being exposed to the wind. I felt like I needed long sleeves.
バギーの2時間コースでしたが、思ったより長い!2月末で、曇りの日だったので、風に当たり続けて寒くなりました。長袖必要かと感じました。
I had a buggy experience, and it was fun. The instructor was kind, which was great. However, the Japanese explanation was only in a video showing how to ride, and after that, everything was in English. I think it would be fine for those who understand English to some extent, but I only understood it vaguely.
It started pouring rain halfway through, and the road flooded, so the bus couldn't return. We were stuck at Kualoa Ranch for several hours. Fortunately, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I was able to understand the situation. It's best to go on a day with good weather.
バギー体験をしましたが、楽しく、インストラクターの方も親切で良かったのですが、日本語の説明は動画で乗り方を見ただけで、あとはずっと英語なので、ある程度英語がわかる方なら問題ないかと思います。なんとなくしかわかりませんでした。
途中からどしゃ降りになり、道が浸水してバスが戻れなかったので、クアロアランチで何時間も拘束されました。この際は日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいたので、何とか状況はわかりました。天気が良い日に行くべきです。
You should go on a nice day.
天気が良い日に行くべきです。
I was able to spend a special day. It was my first time riding in a buggy, but since I was driving while breathing in the fresh air, I didn't get motion sickness and was able to enjoy sightseeing! The guides were truly wonderful people, and I felt deep down that I was glad to be here. I was really happy to see views that I can't see in Japan. This is definitely a tour I want to go on again when I come back to Hawaii!
特別な一日を過ごすことができました。
バギーに乗ること自体初めてでしたが、外の空気を吸いながらの運転だったので酔うこともなく楽しんで観光できました!
ガイドの方も本当に素敵な方達でここにきてよかったと心の底から思いました。
日本では見ることのできない景色を見ることができ、本当によかったです。
またハワイに来た際には絶対に行きたいツアーです!
Since your face can get covered in exhaust fumes or dust, it's a good idea to securely wear the cloth provided by the guide!
顔が排気ガスか砂埃で真っ黒になっちゃうので、ガイドさんから頂ける布をしっかりつけると良いです!
At the site, a Japanese staff member provided explanations in Japanese at the beginning, which made me feel at ease. During the buggy experience, the explanations were given in English by local foreign staff. The buggy ride was thrilling as we raced through the great outdoors, and it felt fantastic. There was also time to buy souvenirs and enjoy meals, making for a fulfilling experience. I would definitely like to participate again.
現地では、始めに日本人スタッフが説明してくださり日本語だったので安心しました。バギー体験中は、現地の外国人スタッフだったので英語での説明でした。バギー体験は、大自然のなかを駆け抜けるのでスリル満点で気持ちよかったです。お土産を買う時間や食事も食べる時間もあり充実した時間を過ごせました。また、是非参加したいです。
It was a 2-hour course, but the scenery was beautiful, and it had a sense of adventure, which made it very enjoyable. The staff provided explanations in English and were attentive to details like taking photos. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.
2時間のコースですが、景色が綺麗で、アドベンチャー感があり、十分楽しめました。スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、写真など細かに対応してくれました。機会があったらまた参加したい。
There are many tables where you can eat, so you can bring snacks and eat them there.
食事できるテーブルが沢山あるので、軽食などを持って行って食べることができます。
I went despite the uncertainty of whether it would rain or not. When I arrived at the site, I was told, "We can cancel since we don't know if it will rain," which made me feel relieved. Of course, since I saw a bit of sunshine, I decided to go. In the beginning, it was clear, and I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors. However, in the end, we were hit by a heavy downpour, and I got soaked, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes. If the weather looks questionable, it's a good idea to buy a poncho at the shop. Everything was in English, but it was a very meaningful experience. The rain also turned out to be a good experience.
雨が降るか降らないかの中行きました。
現地に到着した時に、「雨が降るかわからないのでキャンセル可能です。」とも言われたので安心でした。
もちろん、晴れ間が少し見えたので、行きました。序盤は無事晴れ、大自然を満喫できました。最後は大雨に見舞われ、びちょびちょになったので、着替えを持ってくことをお勧めします。天候が怪しい時は売店でポンチョを購入しておくのがお勧めです。
すべて、英語のガイドですが、とても有意義な体験ができました。雨も良い経験となりました。
Even if you can't speak English, it's generally okay because there are people who can assist you in Japanese at the location. There is one buggy for the group, so it seems unlikely that the two of us
英語が話せなくても、現地に日本語対応可能な人がいるので基本的には大丈夫です。
バギーはグループで1台なので、2人だからといって相乗りになることは無さそうです。
ロッカーはJCBのカードが使えません。
It was pouring rain, but the staff really got us excited and we had a great time. Since it was off-road, the rain might have actually made it more intense and enjoyable.
大雨の中でしたが、スタッフも盛り上げて頂いて楽しかったです。オフロードなので、雨でむしろ激しくなって良かったかもしれません。
When the weather is bad, it's a good idea to leave your bag in a locker, and a windbreaker might be essential.
天気悪い時は鞄はロッカーに預けて、ウインドブレーカーは必須かも。
This was an awesome tour! Our tour guides were amazing and shared some incredible stories about the ranch, the movies and the island itself.
The buggy experience is wonderful. You can enjoy it even if you don't know the movie. A person who speaks Japanese will explain things before check-in after you arrive. However, once the buggy experience starts, it will be in English only. But you can generally understand it. The buggy doesn't go for a full two hours without stopping; it stops at power spots along the way. Also, the bus driver for the shuttle was very lively and provided guidance throughout the drive.
バギー体験は素晴らしいです。映画を知らなくても楽しめます。日本語を喋れる人は到着後チェックイン前に説明をしてくれます。しかし、バギー体験が始まると英語のみになります。でも、大体わかります。バギーも2時間ぶっ通しではなく、パワースポットごとに停止します。
あと、送迎のバスの運転手がノリが良くて終始運転しながらガイドしてました。
It tends to rain, and the trains operate in vertical lines of four cars each. If you happen to be in the first car, it seems that you'll have to follow the guide's instructions, so you can't drive. (W
雨が降りやすいのと、四両ずつ縦に並んで運行するのですが、その一両目に当たれば、ガイドさんの運転になってしまうので、運転できないみたいです。(私たちはどちらも回避)
In February, my family of five had an experience. It was cloudy and we encountered a downpour along the way, but that was actually nice. The rain added to the atmosphere and made it a wonderful experience. It became an unforgettable memory. In February, it can be cold if you go in short sleeves, so I think it's better to prepare a light jacket. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes. There are lockers where you can use a credit card, so you can store your things there. I was quite hesitant because it was expensive, but it became the best memory of this trip to Hawaii.
2月に家族5人で体験しました。曇っていて途中スコールになりましたが、それはそれで良かったです。スコールも雰囲気がでて素敵な体験でした。忘れられない思い出になりました。2月は半袖で行くと寒い事もあるので薄い上着を用意した方が良いと思います。着替えも忘れずに持って行って下さい。クレジットカードが使えるロッカーがあるのでそこに入れておけます。
結構高額で悩みましたが今回のハワイ旅行の1番の思い出になりました。
Don't forget to bring long sleeves and a change of clothes in February during the rainy season!!
雨季の2月は長袖と着替え持参するのを忘れずに!!
This was the most enjoyable experience of my trip to Hawaii!
I actually got to drive a buggy and go off-roading, and it was a moment where I thought, "I'm so glad I have my license." The off-road course was quite authentic and something you can't easily experience in Japan, and the scenery was amazing. I was thrilled the entire time as we drove past movie filming locations and more.
The instructor's explanations were mostly in English, but he had a very Hawaiian vibe and a sense of humor, making the lecture enjoyable, so I had no worries at all.
Since we had an early departure at 6 AM and I was picked up from the hotel, I had eaten breakfast beforehand. However, the shuttle bus made a stop in front of another hotel and suddenly announced, "Feel free to go grab breakfast!" It was a relaxed, Hawaiian-style break that I found amusing. I did feel a bit anxious about being left behind even though they took attendance, so I chose to stay on the bus and wait.
We had a two-hour course this time, but it flew by, and I thought, "Maybe I should have gone for the three-hour option," because it was so much fun.
In any case, I believe this is an experience you can only have in Hawaii, so I highly recommend this activity to anyone who is considering it!
ハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しかった体験でした!
実際に自分でバギーを運転してオフロードを走るのですが、「免許を取っていてよかった」と思える瞬間でした。日本ではなかなか体験できないような本格的なオフロードコースで、景色も最高。映画のロケ地なども見ながら走れるので、終始テンションが上がりました。
インストラクターの説明はほとんど英語でしたが、とてもハワイアンな雰囲気でユーモアもあり、楽しくレクチャーしてくれるので全く不安はありませんでした。
朝6時にホテルへ迎えに来てもらう早朝出発だったので事前に朝食を食べておいたのですが、送迎バスが途中で別のホテル前に停まり「ブレックファースト行ってきていいよー」と急に休憩タイムが入ったのも、なんだかハワイらしいゆるい感じで面白かったです。
ただ、点呼はしていたものの置いて行かれたら怖いなと思い、私はバスから降りずに待っていました。
今回は2時間コースでしたが、あっという間で「3時間にしておけばよかったかも」と少し思うくらい楽しかったです。
とにかく、ハワイでしかできない体験だと思うので、迷っている人にはぜひおすすめしたいアクティビティです!
I found that my body didn't get as dirty as I had expected, but the bag I had placed in the back seat fell to the floor during the ride and got covered in mud. I recommend keeping your luggage to a mi
思っていたほど自分の体は汚れませんでしたが、後部座席に置いていたカバンが走行中に足元に落ちてしまい、泥だらけになりました。荷物はできるだけ少なめにするか、しっかり固定しておくのがおすすめです。
Thought everything what amazing. Stopped at all the areas for pictures and Ivan our guide was tremendous. Could not have had a better experience!!!
At first, I was worried, but it was easy to understand because they taught me with gestures and hand signals. Driving the buggy was also simple, and the scenery was amazing.
最初は心配でしたが、身振り、手振りで教えてくれるのでわかりやすかったです。バギーの運転も簡単だったし、景色も最高でした。
It's better to bring a raincoat.
カッパは持っていった方が良いです。
We had such a wonderful time. Our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The ONLY complaint we had was the fact that the ATV’s could be a little cleaner other than that, it was a great experience.
The hospitable guides and Japanese staff provided various support, allowing us to enjoy driving the Raptor, fully experiencing nature, and listening to lectures about Hawaiian traditional culture, myths, and nature. Driving the Raptor is super easy even for women, and it's so much fun!
ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんや日本人スタッフさんたちが色々とサポートしてくれるので、楽しくラプターを運転して、大自然を満喫して、ハワイの伝承文化や神話や自然についてのレクチャーを聞いたりできました。ラプターの運転は女性でも超簡単で、楽しすぎます。
The explanation videos in English are easier to understand than those in Japanese.
Be punctual.
There is time to take photos.
It's easier with a mask.
Please put tips in the container after fi
英語の説明動画のほうが日本語のものよりわかりやすいです。
時間厳守です。
写真撮る時間もあります。
マスクがあると楽です。
チップは終了後入れ物に。
Listen to when people tell you to go for the ATV tour, what a perfect way to see Kualoa!
On top of the ATV part, I enjoyed learning more about the land and local agriculture.
Great fun, atv easy to drive, scenery gorgeous , tour guides great, interacted with guests, took pictures for us, great personalities lots of photo opts. Highly recommend
Dusty, hang onto your phone!!! Lots of bumps
We did the 2 hour UTV tour with a family of four. This was our favorite thing we did. Get a little bit of movie history, a lot of nature, and some light thrills. Ben was our guide and was amazing. He mad the experience so fun and memorable. We had some intermittent rain on our day and it was still amazing. I could not recommend this place more.
I regretted signing up when the yen was at its weakest, but I had an experience that was worth it! Riding the buggy through the greenery and jungle was fun and refreshing. We visited various spots, including filming locations for Jurassic Park and other movies, stopping at photo points along the way.
At the photo points, they shared stories about the myths and legends of Kualoa, but I didn't quite understand it well in English ^^; Afterward, I looked it up online and realized that’s what they were talking about. On the flight back, I watched two Jurassic Park movies ^^
一番円安の時に申し込んでしまい悔しかったけど、それに見合う価値の体験ができました!風を切りながら緑やジャングルの中を走るバギーは楽しく、気持ちよかったです。ジュラシックパークや他の映画の撮影場所とのことで、フォトポイントを挟みながらいろいろ回りました。
フォトポイントでは、クアロアの神話や伝説のお話をしてくださいますが、英語でよくわからなかった^^;
終わってからネットで調べて、そんなこと言ってたと合致しました。
帰りの飛行機でジュラシックパークを2本見ました^^
Wear a helmet and goggles. You will also receive a scarf. The dust is quite heavy, so it's better to wear goggles. After you're done, be sure to give a tip as well. It's a fair income for their living
ヘルメットとゴーグル着用。スカーフももらえます。砂埃がすごいので、ゴーグルした方がいいです。
終わったあとはチップも添えてあげてね。彼らの生活費で正当な収入です。
I was recommended by a friend and participated for the first time this time. Driving the buggy was thrilling and exciting, but it was a lot of fun! The scenery while driving was amazing!
友人に勧められて、今回初めて参加しました。
バギーの運転はハラハラドキドキしましたが、とても楽しかったです!
運転しながら見る景色は最高でした!
Since the dust is quite heavy, I recommend going with minimal luggage and wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
砂埃がすごいので、最小限の荷物、汚れてもいい服・靴で行くことをお勧めします。
The Jurassic Valley Ranch ATV was a great experience and the staff was knowledgable and very informative. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank for a great time!
