Oahu
Love it! Amazing View. Great experience ever!See you next year!
Please do not go there in Dec. The day we went, it was very windy and cloudy. Under the water in that area, you can see nothing except corals. There may be a few small fishes. That’s all. Moreover, the organizer did not provide fippers and there are many corals, , so there was no way to stand up. My friend had many wounds.
The 2-hour ATV tour was amazing. I was initially worried due to the rain but it enhanced our experience. It was fun to drive through the puddles and see the sights. Our guides Ethan and Nui (not sure of the correct spelling) were super friendly, funny, and made the experience worthwhile. The tour did not feel rushed and they took pictures for everyone. I highly recommend Kualoa Ranch, specifically the ATV tour, for anyone visiting Hawaii. The staff are amazing, the sights are breathtaking, and the experience is absolutely unforgettable. I cannot speak on behalf of the other activities at the ranch but the ATV tour is definitely worth the price!
Food was included which was a plus. Live music and the singers were amazing, and they took our request for a song. The whole crew was very friendly and did everything to make each activity fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning on snorkeling, kayaking, and/or kayaking.
What an amazing and incredibly fun excursion for our family of four. Our teenagers had a blast and couldn’t stop laughing and smiling ear to ear. Would definitely do this again.
We had the best time! The team was so nice and helped us learned to kayak (it was our first time!) they we’re super patient. I can’t wait to do it again.
Aloha Melody! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such amazing feedback for us! We really appreciate that, and I am so glad to hear that you had this kind of experience as a first timer. That's great. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Amazing experience. Beautiful ranch. Highly recommended to visit.
Great experience, the staff was so warm and loving! Highly recommend. Plenty of wildlife to see if your snorkeling. Musicians were awesome too.
What a great day! Wonderful crew, musicians made the day extra fun and special. Sandbars, kayaks, paddle boards and float… you can’t go wrong.
Kayaking was fun but it was a little disappointing to find that the sandbar and related islands are all under water. The pictures showed a sandbar above water where you could exit the kayak and walk or play. In reality, the sandbars are 3-4 ft. under water. You can stand on them but you are just standing in the shallow water. According to the employee, the sandbars are under water most of the time - rarely are they exposed, due to tidal conditions. Need an extreme negative tide and the right time of the year to actually see sand. Would have been nice to know before we showed up for our trip.
We did a lot on Oahu - custom tour throughout the island, Pearl Harbor, and more - plus we enjoyed every minute (except maybe the charging to hold our bags at Pearl Harbor, but that's a different review).
Our ATV time on the ranch was hands down the most fun we had. The ranch is packed with movie shooting sites, and they clearly denote where these movies were filmed. The guides were funny, humble, and fantastic photo-takers.
We arrived just after a Forrest Gump style rain... one we thought would surely cancel our tour, but there's no chance in that. On the ranch, any weather is good weather (but we're sure glad the sun came out).
Do yourself a favor and book this tour!
Capt. Ige and crew was great. They treated us very good and showed us a great time. I am definitely going to do it again with other friend that comes up from abroad. Beach volleyball was fun and snorkeling near the reef was a blast as we were close to a sea turtle.
The ATV tour was extremely fun. My family enjoyed every bit of it. Luckily it stopped raining as our tour was about to start, but it added a little extra excitement as we drove through puddles and wet landscape.
The ranch is beautiful and well kept. Our guides were very informative and fun to be with. I would book this tour again when we come back to Oahu in the future.
It was a very windy day unfortunately so we couldn’t paddle out to the proper sand bar ( they told us not to). We paddle to the smaller sand bars closer to the shore, but we should have needed a guide, it was hard to know if we were in the right place and we saw almost nothing such as fishes and stuff, we did see one turtle that raced past us so fast. We had booked for a half day but we where only away for 2,5 hours because also the water was cold…
Maybe this excursion should be during the summer months and not during winter time.
The crew where really nice and friendly and did there best to help us and guide us, although next time we would pay a little bit more and get a guide and maybe take a boat!
Yuki and the entire team are a fantastic crew. It’s clearly one of the best activities on the island. Highly recommend them! The volleyball on the sandbar, turtle sightings, and snorkeling along with all the food and drinks were very well coordinated.
Overall great experience! probably one of the best place to go kayaking in Hawaii. However, please be mindful that the sandbar would be under water in December. It's still shallow enough to enjoy and have a nice photo though!
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for leaving such great feedback. We really appreciate that. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
I’ve been to around 6-7 different snorkel tours and the experience at Bob’s tour is by far the best. The tour is well planned, faculties are pretty new and the crew attend to a lot of details - like you’ll get a shower right after you get out of water which helps a lot if you don’t like the sea smell & want to get warm and dry quickly. The lunch is also really delicious. They even provide hot chocolate after the snorkeling, not to mention the beautiful white sand, dozens of turtles and tremendous view at the snorkeling point. Mahalo for the great experience!
The experience was more than worth the price paid for admission. If you’re loaded and wealthy with a family of five, then yeah spend on the ATV experience. But this 90 minute bus tour was well worth the money. Our tour guide, Haydn, was awesome! We’ve been on a number of guided tours in Hawaii and Haydn is energetic, funny and knowledgable. He even offers to take great family photos or individual pictures, too! I don’t know of any tour guides that will do that. I own an RV, so driving around and talking would be difficult, especially at this ranch. Haydn does a great job navigating turns and difficult terrain. He manages to do this while cracking jokes and recalling detailed information and trivia. This tour stops and allows passengers to get out and take great pictures. You still have access to look around the grounds including the ranch history exhibit, horses, and gift shop. This tour is highly recommended.
The horseback riding experience offered very good scenery and a great experience, but I was left with some dissatisfaction regarding the free time afterward.
This course includes mountain and sea activities, but there were no sea activities taking place.
As a result, I visited the museum and other places, but they were small and not something to spend a long time at, so it was difficult to pass the time until we returned.
乗馬体験では、非常に良い景色、そして良い経験もさせて頂きましたが、その後の自由時間に関しまして不満が残りました。
このコースは山、海コースとなっていますが、海のアクテビティは、なにも開催されていませんでした。
そのため資料館等には行きましたが小さく長時間いるものでもないので帰るまで時間を潰すのが大変でした。
Atv adventure was amazing kids enjoyed .guide are excellent!
Let me start off by saying my husband and I almost didn’t get to go on the tour..(my fault)
I booked the UTV Jurassic Valley tour for a Tuesday instead of Wednesday. So when we arrived and the lady at the front desk couldn’t find our booking, realizing that I booked for the wrong day..my heart sunk. My husband and I walked away from the counter, I shed a single tear and then hear my name shouted to come back to the counter. They had a spot available for the 10am tour..I WAS ECSTATIC. The name of the lady who helped us eludes me but she was amazing and helpful and it’s because of her that we even got to go on the trip!!
NOW FOR THE TOUR!
Dani and Josiah were our tour guides and they were extremely fun and had no shortage of hilarious jokes throughout the tour. The history about each piece of land and every place we stopped at was really awesome to learn about. It was pretty impressive to find out that although plenty of people have tried buying them out, this land has stayed within the same family for seven generations! I also loved hearing about all the films they shot in each area, especially getting to see some of the props still set up. One of the things I loved the most was getting to make the T-Rex shot at the Jurassic Valley where we run away from the Dino. Definitely something we get to cherish for years to come.
Side note::
The gift shop also had great stuff in there, and the food was pretty good too!
Definitely will be coming back with friends!
Thank you all for a great experience.
Kaneohe bay is so beautiful. Everyone was very nice. Snorkeling was super fun. Volleyball on the sandbar was also really fun. Seeing the turtles off the sides of the boat was really cool too.
But definitely not much to see on the reef
a bit disappointed to that level
the boat drive is very close to shore
Glad we brought our booze :-)))
They worked so well with my family of 5 to make sure we enjoyed our trip! The ATVS are awesome!
We thoroughly enjoyed the outing! The crew was fantastic. The kids and us spent time on SUP, and kayak. We didn't feel rush at all. We also had time to snorkel and see the tropical fishes. I would totally recommend this activity by KBOS.
It was our first time visiting Hawaii, and this sand bar package trip made our experience so much better! Had a great time snorkeling, paddle-boarding, and kayaking at the sandbar! The crew members are very kind and helpful as well. Live music inside the boat made time fly too! I would definitely suggest this package to all my friends!
Great tour guide and beautiful ranch at Kualoa. Would be interested in their other events
Much to enjoy, too little time. Staff and musicians capped off the entire experience.
An amazing experience! It’s so well organized and they give you all the information you need to have an amazing time! It’s a wonderful experience and the crew is fantastic! Hanging out at the Sandbar is a unique experience, and as an added bonus, saw lots of turtles and lots of beautiful fish! Absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about it!
These folks are awesome! They made every second fun and were very safe with everything they did. We had our 1 year old son with us who does great adventuring. They made sure it was east for us and that we all had a good time. They were also so careful to protect the coral and wildlife at the sandbar.
