All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I participated in early December. I wanted to walk on the sandbar, but the tide was high, and the water was up to my waist, feeling cold. I understand it's seasonal, but it was disappointing. Next time, I want to join in the summer for a rematch!

12月上旬に参加しました。サンドバーを歩きたかったのですが、潮が満ちていて海は腰まであり、水温も低く寒く感じました。。時期的なもので仕方ないと思いますが、残念でした。次回は夏に参加してリベンジしたいと思います！！

The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to. It might have been even better if the foreign guide had communicated a bit more, as it would have enhanced the feeling of being in a foreign country.

ガイドさんとても気さくで話しやすかった。
外人のガイドさんがもう少しコミュニケーション取ってくれたら更に外国に来た雰囲気を味わえてよかったのかもしれない。

My daughter and I really enjoyed the scenic route. We get to experienced the outdoor adventure where they filmed Lost, Godzilla, Hawaii Five O’s, and Jurassic World. We were actually there riding UTV through out the location. It was so fun for both of us.

I experienced the 2-hour course. The horses are generally very smart. The horse I was riding kept stopping to eat grass, and whenever everyone fell behind, it would run to catch up—this happened repeatedly, which was amusing. At first, I was surprised, but I got used to running after a while. I'm glad I had an experience that wasn't mentioned in the reviews. The guide also talked to us a lot, which made it fun.

2時間コースを体験しました。馬は基本的にはとってもお利口です。私が乗っていた馬は寄り道して草を食べ皆んな遅れをとれば走って追いつく、、の繰り返しでした笑はじめはびっくりしましたが途中から走るのにも慣れてきました笑口コミにはない体験ができよかったです笑笑ガイドさんもたくさん話しかけてくれ楽しかったです

Outstanding Crew- excellent service...beautiful venue...fun packed day

The guide was cheerful and fun, and the hamburgers were delicious! The water level on the day was about waist-high, but playing beach volleyball was also enjoyable, and it was the best experience. We encountered many sea turtles as well.
I want to participate in this tour again!

ガイドさんが陽気で楽しく、ハンバーガーも美味しかった！当日の水位は腰くらいまでありましたが、ビーチバレーも楽しかったし最高でした。ウミガメにもたくさん出会えました。
また参加したいツアーです！

It was disappointing because of the cloudy sky. If the weather had been nice, it would have been a point boost, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was too strong. I had read in reviews that there would be towels on the seats of the return bus, but there weren't any. I thought it might be necessary to announce that large bath towels are essential.

曇り空で残念でした。天気が良ければポイントアップだつたのですが残念。こればかりはどうしようもないですが。あと送迎バスの冷房が効き過ぎでした。帰りのバスの座席にタオルがひいてある、と口コミがあったのねすが、ありませんでした。大きなバスタオルは必須とアナウンスすべきかな、と思いました。

It seems that it rained in the morning, so unfortunately the sandbar was about waist-deep. However, I was able to see sea turtles clearly from the cruise, and snorkeling was also fun! There was a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease.

朝に雨が降っていたみたいで残念ながらサンドバーは腰あたりの深さでした。
でもクルーズからしっかりウミガメ見ることができたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです！！
ガイドさんも日本人の方もいて安心でした。

日本人のガイドのかたもいて、英語が苦手でも楽しく過ごせました。
サンドバーはとても美しく、バレーボールをみんなでやり、とても良い思い出ができました。

I waited quite a while at the pier after getting off the bus. Most of the people were part of a Japanese group, and I was a bit anxious about whether I was waiting in the right place. The boat that had left earlier returned, and we waited for it to be cleaned. So, I think I waited for about an hour in total. The sandbar was beautiful, and the hamburger was amazing. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles while watching them, which was very moving. However, I still can't forget the moment when a sea turtle collided with the boat just as we were about to go snorkeling... The shock was significant given how moved I was. The snorkeling was enjoyable, even though the waves were high. There was no problem going in a swimsuit, but having a change of clothes would make the return bus ride more comfortable. There is storage under the seats on the boat. If I come again, I would like to participate on a nice weather day and check the tide as well.

バスから降りた船乗り場でかなり待ちました。日本人団体がほとんどでしたが、ここで待っているのがあっているのか不安になりながら待っていました。先に出ていた船が戻ってきて、清掃するのを待っていました。なので全部で1時間ほど待った気がします。サンドバーは綺麗でした。ハンバーガーも最高でした。海亀のウォッチングもたくさん見れました。とても感動しました。ただ、シュノーケリングに行くという時に海亀1匹と船が衝突をしたのが今でも忘れられません…。感動していた分心への衝撃が大きかったです。シュノーケリングは波が高かったですが楽しめました。水着でいって問題はなかったですが、着替えがある方が帰りのバスは落ち着くと思います。船の座席の下に荷物入れはあります。また来ることがあれば、天候の良い日に、そして潮の満ち引きも確認して、参加したいです。

This was my third time participating in the tour. I joined with my girlfriend. The shuttle bus for previous tours was like a Ku'alola Ranch-style (a Western-style bus that was frankly quite old), but this time it was a regular large sightseeing bus, and it was a very clean bus. The comfort of the shuttle has improved.

After arriving, we immediately completed the reservation confirmation process, then stored our luggage in a locker before participating in the activities. After watching a safety video, we started with about six other participants on the same course.

This time it was a two-hour course, but the accompanying woman was constantly on her phone, just texting. Last time, at a Ku'alola-like place, there was a service where they took pictures of the participants with their phones in turn, but this time there was none at all. Moreover, we didn't even pass by the Jurassic Park dinosaur bone remains spot? We finished with over 30 minutes left. I was disappointed to see such a difference in the attending staff!

We were familiar with the process since it was our third time, but first-time participants might have felt like they were just riding through a forest course without experiencing the breathtaking views...

I just wish they had made sure to utilize the scheduled time properly.

今回で3度目のツアー参加でした。
彼女と2人で参加しました。
前回までの送迎バスは、クアロラランチっぽい（ウエスタン調なバスで、はっきり言って古びたバス）でしたが、今回は通常の大型観光バス、しかもかなり綺麗なバスでの送迎に変わってました。　送迎は快適さがUPしています。
到着後すぐに予約確認手続きを行い、その後ロッカーに荷物を預けてアクティビティ参加となります。ビデオでの注意説明を観た後に、同じコースの６人ほどとスタートしました。
今回2時間コースでしたが、付き添いの女性は　ずっと携帯でメールばかりをしていました。前回は、クアロラっぽい場所で順番に参加者の携帯で写真を撮ってくれたりのサービスがあったのですが、今回は全くありません。しかも、コースも、ジュラシックパークの恐竜の骨の残骸スポットも通ることなく？　30分以上　時間を残しての終了となりました。　　アテンドのスタッフでここまで違うのか！　とがっかりしました。
私たちは３度目だ要領を得ていましたが、初めての参加者は絶景なコースを通らなかったので、林間コースを中心とする乗馬と感じたでしょう、、、
　　　　
せめて、申し込み時間はきちんと消化して欲しかったです。

I participated with my son and daughter. There were three people from Taiwan and one staff member from Kualoa Ranch with us. At the beginning, they properly taught us the names of the horses, which made communication easy. The endless vast scenery was breathtaking from start to finish. At one point, they took my smartphone and captured family photos of us riding, and the staff member, who looked cool, was actually very kind and showed a deep love for the horses. I was able to savor the incredible and extraordinary experience that I could never have in Japan, feeling as if I was in a different world. I want to tell everyone that the experience of riding horses at Kualoa Ranch has become a treasure of my life. I think the two-hour course is a good choice.

息子・娘と参加しました。台湾の親子３人と６名プラス クアロアランチのスタッフさんが1人付いてくれました。始めに馬の名前をちゃんと教えてくれてコミュニケーションを取りやすかったです。果てしない広大な景色に 最初から最後まで感動でした。途中 スマホを渡して乗馬姿の家族写真を写してくれたり クールに見えて実はとっても優しくて 馬に対しての愛を感じるスタッフさんでした。日本では決して味わう事のできない豪快で非日常的世界観で同じ地球とは思えない感動を噛みしめる事ができました。クアロアランチに行って 馬に乗った体験は人生の宝物になったと皆さんに伝えたいです
２時間コースが良いと思います

We drove a five-seater with just two people! The magnificent scenery was amazing! This time we took the one-hour course, but next time I definitely want to join the two-hour course!

5人のりを2人で運転しました！
壮大な景色最高でした！
今回1時間コースでしたが、次回は是非2時間コースに参加したいです！

It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a very enjoyable experience. My partner horse was smart and adorable. I was able to stroll through the magnificent nature, which became a wonderful memory of my trip.

初めての乗馬でしたが、非常に楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。パートナーの馬も頭が良く可愛かったです。雄大な大自然の中を散歩する事ができ、旅の良い思い出となりました。

Even as a beginner in horseback riding, I had a great time, and the staff were friendly and provided easy-to-understand explanations. The horses seemed accustomed to carrying inexperienced riders, which made me feel safe while riding.

乗馬未経験でも楽しめ、スタッフも親切で説明も分かり易く楽しめました。
馬も未経験者を乗せるのが慣れているようで、乗ってて安心できました。

A few days ago, I received a notification about a change in the horseback riding course. I was really looking forward to it, so it was disappointing that I couldn't reschedule due to the last-minute notice. Since it was a change for some event, I wondered if they had known about it earlier.

During the horseback riding, I didn't have to control the horse at all; it just walked along the designated path. The guide explained things a couple of times, but it was too far away, and I couldn't hear well. For the rest of the time, I was riding while checking my phone and making calls.

The horses were cute, and it was a fun experience overall. I recommend participating without high expectations for the guide, and just enjoy the horseback riding experience and the scenery.

数日前に、乗馬コースの変更連絡がありました。コースを楽しみにしていたのに直前の連絡でリスケできず残念でした。何かのイベントの為の変更だったので、もっと前から分かっていたのでは、、？と思いました。
乗馬は、特に自分で操作することも無く、馬がひたすら決められた道を歩きます。ガイドの女の子は2回ほどその場の説明していましたが、遠くてよく聞こえませんでした。そのほかの時間は乗馬しながら携帯でメールしたり電話していました。
馬は可愛いし、乗馬は楽しい経験でした。ガイドは期待せず、乗馬体験と景色を楽しみに参加されるのが、オススメです。

this was my first visit to oahu and the i had booked an introductory tour. it was a perfect start. our tour guide was really lovely with a good sense of humour . he was also knowledgeable about the local history and little areas of interest being a local interest.
there were lots of visits to some beautiful beaches and enough time at the waimea botanical gardens to go for a wander. the lunch was delicious. topped at the end a visit to the dole plantation.
i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience

We had some much fun!! Even with the rain it was a really enjoyable experience.

Excellent experience!!
Very beautiful place and our family really enjoy!!

This was my third time. Each time, I rate it as the most enjoyable activity for my family. The hospitality of the guides is excellent. The hamburgers on the boat are delicious too. Don't forget the $5 for beer. We always see sea turtles, but this time we were able to see a manta ray. Everyone was thrilled. I will work hard again to return to the sandbar soon.

これで、３度目でした。毎回家族で一番楽しかったアクティビティと評価しています。とにかく、ガイドの方々のホスピタリティがいいです。船の上のハンバーガーもうまいです。ビール代５ドルも忘れずに。毎回海がめは見れるのですが、今回はマンタ様を拝見できました。一同感激でした。早くサンドバーに
戻る為、またお仕事頑張ります。

I had never ridden a horse before, but the horse was well-trained, so I felt safe riding it. It was fun to explore various filming locations. (It was a bit disappointing that the Jurassic Park sign was a little far away.) I must have used muscles I don't usually use, as it was tough to go down the stairs when I got back, but it was a fun experience!

乗馬はしたことなかったけど、しっかり調教されていて安心して乗れました。
ロケ地も色々見ながら回れて楽しかったです。
（ジュラシックパークの看板は少し遠かったので残念でした）
普段使わない筋肉を使ったのか、戻ってきたときには階段を降りるのも辛かったですが、楽しい体験でした！

I had a great experience with SUP. The trainers and staff were all very nice, and I had a lot of fun. When we arrived, we had some free time first, and we went cycling for about 20 minutes to nearby Lanikai Beach. The turquoise blue beach was beautiful, and we even saw sea turtles! I was able to borrow snorkeling gear from the office beforehand, so I brought it along. After returning from the beach, we had pizza for lunch (you get a voucher), and it was very delicious! In the afternoon, we did SUP, but the wind was strong and the waves were big, so we practiced in the river first before heading out to the ocean. We aimed for a nearby island, but because the waves were high, we had to turn back without landing on the island. It was a shame we couldn't go to the island, but it was still a very enjoyable experience.

SUPの体験をしました。トレーナーの方もスタッフの方もみなさんとても良い人で楽しかったです。到着したら、最初に自由時間があり、20分位のサイクリングで近くのラニカイビーチへ行きました。ターコイズブルーのビーチでとても綺麗でウミガメも見れました！シュノーケリンググッズを事前に事務所で借りられたので持っていきました。ビーチから帰ってきてからランチはピザを食べて、（ただ券を貰えます）とても美味しかったです！午後からSUPでしたが、風が強くて波が大きかったので、最初は川で練習をして、その後海へ出ました。近くにある島を目指して漕ぐのですが、波が高かったので、島へは上陸せずに途中で引き返す形になりました。島へ行けなかったのは残念ですが、とても楽しい体験になりました。

I wanted to play in the ocean in Hawaii, but since I was traveling alone, it seemed lonely, so I signed up for a SUP shuttle, lunch, and guided tour.
Our guide, Mieko, was bright and supportive, and we somehow made it to the island. It was a challenge for me, but thanks to her, I was able to achieve it.
The photos taken on the island show the beautiful blue of the sky and sea! I was also happy to see myself paddling with a bit of a wobbly stance in the pictures. The young couple I was with were also very nice.
It was so much fun!! Next time, I'll go with my husband. Thank you!!

ハワイの海で遊びたかったけど、なんせ1人旅。寂しそうなのでSUPの送迎、ランチ、ガイド付きツアーに申し込みました。
ガイドのミエコさんが明るく、力強くサポートしてくれて、なんとか島まで到達。私にとってはチャレンジでしたが、お陰で達成できました。
島で撮って貰った写真も空と海の青がとっても綺麗！へっぴり腰でパドルを漕いでる自分も写真で見れて、嬉しかったです。ご一緒した若いご夫婦もとても感じの良いお2人でした。
とても楽しかった！！次回は主人と行きますね。ありがとう！！

Such an amazing experience! It's hands down the best way to experience the ranch and get to see where so many movies were filmed. Doing it on horseback lets you truly enjoy the beauty of it all.

My horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch during the New Year holiday was wonderful, so I repeated it. The horse I rode was very smart, and without stopping to graze along the way, it followed the horse in front of it slowly and steadily, allowing me to ride without hardly having to use the reins. I'm grateful to the horse for walking for two hours without a break.

正月休みにクアロアランチでの乗馬体験が素晴らしかったので、またリピートしました。
乗ったお馬さんがとてもお利口で、途中道草食う事もなく、かつキチンと前のお馬さんにゆっくりと付いていってくれたので、手綱操作を殆どする事なく、乗馬出来ました。
２時間も休まず歩いてくれたお馬さんに感謝です。

The tour was a self tour and was great. The staff were aplenty and were very very helpful. The snorkelling gear and surfing gear was all there. The staff show you each step as to how and where to go and you also get your own bike as well to explore! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to do things their way.

The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful and we were able to see turtles. The guide was also kind, and we were able to take a lot of photos. It was great.

天気はくもりでしたが、海がきれいで亀もみることができました。ガイドの方も親切で写真をたくさん撮ることができました。よかったです。

We were picked up from a hotel near Waikiki and took about an hour by bus to the boat dock, from where we boarded the boat and headed to the sandbar!

For lunch, we were served hamburgers and drinks on the boat! They were very delicious!

There were also two restrooms on the boat.

The boat didn't sway too much, but if you're worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating.

We joined the sandbar tour in the morning, avoiding high tide, and the water was still up to our thighs! The timing of high tide varies by season, so it might be good to check that before deciding on the tour time.

You can leave your belongings on the boat while taking photos and snorkeling at the sandbar. It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff taught us, and after a few tries, I got the hang of it! We moved the boat a little and, wearing safety jackets, we saw coral reefs and fish at a depth of about 10 meters. At first, I was a bit scared, but I was able to see the beautiful underwater scenery.

While swimming, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was a rare experience.

We could also see many sea turtles from the boat and managed to capture some great photos.

On the way back, you can change clothes at a restroom near the boat dock, but I didn't have time (the men's restroom had no line, but the women's restroom had a queue), so I wore my clothes over my swimsuit on the way back. I had a bath towel, but since I got wet, I laid down a few smaller towels on the bus. I recommend bringing a few larger towels to prevent the bus seats from getting wet.

The guide and the captain were very friendly and cheerful! I really had a great time!

ワイキキ周辺のホテルからピックアップして、１時間程かけて船乗り場までバスで移動し、そこから船にのり、サンドバーへ向かいました！

昼食は船の中でハンバーガーとドリンクが出ました！とても美味しかったです！　

トイレも2つ船の中についていました。

　船はそんなに揺れなかったですが、心配な方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでから参加されるといいかもしれません★

サンドバーは満潮の時間帯をずらして午前中に参加しました(^^)それでも太腿くらいまでありました！
時期によって満潮の時間帯が異なるので調べてからツアー参加時間を決めても良いかもしれません
(^-^)

船の中に荷物は置いてサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングをします。
初シュノーケリングでしたが、スタッフが教えてくださり、何度かやったら習得できました★
サンドバーから少し船で移動し、海底10メートルほどのあるところで安全ジャケットを着用し
サンゴ礁や魚を見ます。
最初は少し怖かったのですが、とても綺麗な海底の景色をみることができました。

泳いでいる際にもウミガメに遭遇することができ、貴重な体験でした。

船からもウミガメをたくさん見ることができ、写真にもしっかりおさめることができました。

帰りは船乗り場近くのトイレで着替えることもできますが、私は時間がなく(男子トイレは並んでいませんでしたが、女子トイレは行列でした)水着の上が服を着て帰りました。
私はバスタオルを持っていましたが身体を拭いて濡れてしまったため、小さめのタオルを何枚か敷いてバスに乗りました。
バスの座席が濡れるのを防ぐため大きめのタオル
をいくつか持参されることをオススメします★

ガイドさんや船長さんがとても気さくで明るい方々でした！本当に楽しかったです^_^

I participated with my 2-year-old. We joined in the morning, but despite that, the sandbar was already covered by the tide and we couldn't see it. I wonder if we needed to take an earlier tour? However, my child seemed very satisfied floating in the waves with a float. It was a beautifully sunny day, and the ocean was incredibly clear.

For lunch, we had burgers with charcoal-grilled patties. They were absolutely delicious! Since my child can't eat hamburgers yet, I brought rice balls.

We were lucky enough to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays up close! In the end, after playing a lot, they provided warm drinks for our chilled bodies, which was very satisfying. The staff were kind, and it was reassuring that they spoke Japanese. I would love to participate again.

2歳児連れて参加しました。
午前中に参加しました。にも関わらず、サンドバーはすでに潮が満ちてきていて見れませんでした。もっと早いツアーじゃないとダメだったんでしょうか？ですが、子どもは浮き輪で波に揺られて、大満足だったようです。良く晴れた日で、海がとっても綺麗でした。
お昼ご飯は炭火で焼いたハンバーグを挟んだバーガーでした。最高に美味しかったです！
子どもはまだハンバーガーを食べられないので、おにぎりを持参しました。
ウミガメはもちろんのこと、ラッキーにもマンタが間近で見れました！
最後はたくさん遊んで、冷えた体に、暖かい飲み物も出してくれて、大満足です。
スタッフさんも優しくて、日本語なので安心でした。また参加したいと思いました。

Since my child was small, I gave up on the one-person option, but we had plenty of fun with the four-person option! The scenery was amazing! The guide took some interesting photos for us, and everyone loved them!

子供が小さかったので
1人乗りをあきらめましたが、
４人乗りでも十分楽しめました！
景色も最高でした！
ガイドの方に面白い写真を撮っていただけて
みんなに好評でした！
