All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I participated with my daughter. It was our first time snorkeling, and we were able to see fish and turtles. The cruise was also fun. The food was very tasty. I recommend it.

娘と二人で参加しました。初めてのシュノーケル、お魚も亀も見れました。
クルーズも楽しかったです。お食事Very tasty.でした。お勧めです。

I had a great time playing volleyball at Angel's Beach Sandbar; that space was the best! I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, and I created amazing memories with the snorkeling experience during summer vacation. The staff were fun, and the lunch was delicious. I want to go again! Mahalo!

天使の海サンドバーでのバレーボールで大喜び、あの空間での時間は、最高〜！
ウミガメもたくさん会えて、シュノーケリング体験と、夏休みの最高な思い出ができました。
スタッフ達も楽しく、ランチも美味しかった。
また行ってみたい！
マハロ！

this was such a fun excursion! I really loved the sandbar experience. It was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely do this tour again with my family. We were able to take our 10 month old and she enjoyed it. We also brought her infant floatie and let her swim at the sandbar. The staff were so friendly and provided great customer service. We originally kept trying to book this tour but saw no availability until I checked the day before leaving for Hawaii and I was so happy we got confirmed to do the tour.

Angel's Sea is a stunning spot that looks great in photos, and on top of that, you can experience snorkeling, making it a very satisfying plan. Although lunch is included, it's just a small sandwich, so you might find yourself quite hungry after returning from the tour.

天使の海は、写真映えする絶景スポットで、それに加えてシュノーケリングも体験できて、満足度がとても高いプランでした。お昼が付くとありますがちょっとしたサンドイッチが出してもらえるだけなので、ツアーから戻ってからお腹がますがすいてしまうかもしれません。

It was really great. The beach was nearby, and it was convenient to have lockers and changing rooms available. The lunch pizza was the best pizza I've ever had. I want to go just to eat the pizza! It was about a 15-minute walk to the town of Kailua. I was worried about the roads this time, so I walked, but there was plenty of space for biking, so I plan to rent a bike next time.

すごく良かったです。現地ではビーチも近く、ロッカー、更衣室が使えるのが便利でした。ランチのピザも今ままで食べた中で一番美味しいピザでした。ピザだけでも食べに行きたいです！
カイルアの街までは徒歩15分くらいでした。道が心配で今回は徒歩でしたが、自転車走行スペースも広かったので、次回は自転車をレンタルしたいと思います。

I was very satisfied with the horseback riding experience, which allowed me to ride in a more elegant natural setting than the last time I rode for an hour. The horses are very intelligent, so I could mostly leave it to them. I hardly had to use the reins, and I was able to enjoy the scenery safely. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

前回1時間の乗馬体験の時よりもたっぷりと優雅な自然の中を乗馬体験できて、大満足でした。
馬が頭が良いので、ほぼお任せ。無理に手綱を使うこともほとんどなく、安全に風景を楽しめます。
また、機会があれば参加したいと思います。

We had to wait for the people coming later with the kayak, and that made the kids feel sick. Since they weren't able to paddle the kayak themselves, we were relieved to be towed back by the mother boat. However, it was tough being in a place without any shade while feeling nauseous.

カヤックは後から来る人を待たなければならず、それで子供が酔ってしまいました。自分でカヤックを漕げる状態で無かったので帰りはマザーボートで引っ張ってもらい助かりました。しかし酔った状態で日陰も無い所でいるのはきつかったです。

I had my first horseback riding experience. Since there is no shuttle service, you have to get to Kualoa Ranch on your own, either by rental car or The Bus (public bus). I took the 55 bus from Ala Moana Shopping Center, which took about an hour to get to Kualoa Ranch. If you buy a 1-day pass when you board, you can make the round trip for about $5.50, which is quite affordable, even though it takes some time on the way back. A taxi would likely be very expensive since it's located on the opposite side of Waikiki.

Most of the staff are locals, so you need to communicate in English, but before riding, they show you an instructional video in Japanese, so even if you don't understand English, you can get the basic knowledge of horseback riding in Japanese.

Since it was my first horseback riding experience and I wasn't used to it, I had some painful muscle soreness in my inner thighs afterward, but more than that, I was very satisfied because I could enjoy the magnificent nature at a leisurely pace. I actually wanted to try the ATV experience as well, but it was fully booked, so I hope to try the ATV experience on my next visit to Hawaii.

はじめての乗馬体験をしました。送迎サービスが付いていないためクアロア牧場へは自力で行くしかなくレンタカーで行くかThe Bus（公共バス）で行くしかありません。私はアラモアナショッピングセンターから出ているThe Busの５５番バスで１時間くらいかけてクアロア牧場へ行きました。乗るときに1day passを買えば、帰りも時間はかかりますが確か5.5ドルで往復できるのでかなり安く移動できました。タクシーだとおそらくワイキキの反対側にある場所なので、どんでもなく高くついたと思います。
スタッフは殆ど現地の方ばかりなので英語でやりとりしなければなりませんが、乗馬前に日本語のインストラクトビデオを見せてもらえるので、もし英語が分からなくても乗馬の基礎知識は日本語で得られます。
はじめての乗馬体験で慣れていなかったため、終わった後内股の筋肉痛が辛かったですが、それ以上に雄大な自然の中をゆっくり楽しめたので大満足でした。本当はバギー体験もしたかったのですが、満席という事で予約が取れなかったので、次回ハワイ訪問時はバギー体験をしてみたいです。

Did you go after Obon? It would have been better if there were no jellyfish. I was stung by a jellyfish, and the stinging sensation lasted for about an hour, but after that, I was fine. The pizza for lunch was delicious.

お盆過ぎに行ったのですか、クラゲいなければもっと良かった。クラゲに刺されてビリビリが1時間くらい続きましたがその後は大丈夫でした。お昼のピザは美味しかったです。

Since it was after the hurricane, the waves were still a bit rough, and it wasn't very enjoyable for families with small children. My 4-year-old got stung by a jellyfish.
As everyone mentioned, the pizza for lunch was large and very delicious.
I would like to try again.

ハリケーン後だったのでまだ少し波が荒く小さい子連れにはあまり楽しめませんでした。4歳の子どもがくらげにさされました。
お昼のピザは皆さんのおっしゃる通り大きくてとても美味しかったです。
またリベンジしたいです。

I participated in Mieko's SUP tour.
By chance, I was the only participant, so it turned into a private lesson. (laughs)

Coach Mieko was very clear and easy to talk to, and she provided enthusiastic guidance, so I was able to stand up on the board right away!

On the way there, the wind was strong, and I had a hard time moving forward, but the refreshing feeling when I reached the destination was quite something.

We went to a small island called Flat Island and took a lot of pictures.

I was able to fully experience the waves and wind of Hawaii.
After the SUP session, I rented a bike and headed towards Lanikai Beach, enjoying a solo trip like a local.

I highly recommend this tour! Thank you!

ミエコさんのSupツアーに参加しました。
参加者は偶然自分一人だけで、まさかのプライベートレッスン。笑

コーチのミエコさんはハキハキとした方で話しやすく
熱心に指導してくれてすぐに立てるようになりました！

行きは風も強く、なかなか前に進みませんでしたが
目的地に到達した時の爽快感はなかなかなもの。

フラットアイランドという小島に行き
沢山写真を撮っていただきました。

ハワイの波と風を存分に感じることができました。
Sup後は自転車を借りてラニカイビーチの方へ
ロコの気分でひとり旅でした。

おすすめのツアーです！ありがとう！

The horses walk nicely, allowing us to ride for two hours while leisurely enjoying the scenery. At one point, when we fell behind, the guide gave the horse a little tap on the rear to speed up, which added a bit of thrill and was fun. There was a foreign participant at the front, and the guide was explaining something in English for them, but we couldn't understand. Since we walked in a line, it was also quite difficult to have conversations with my companions, making the activity feel somewhat lacking. The guide didn't engage us as much as on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland; it felt more like riding through It's a Small World, just looking around. We walked mostly through the forest or among the trees, so there wasn't much concern about sunburn or heat. I've written quite a few negative things, but I think it's a good experience for horseback riding since it's not easy to ride alone for a long time in Japan. Overall, it's a nice tour for enjoying the scenery and the pleasant breeze while riding a horse.

お馬さんが良い子に歩いてくれるので、2時間ひたすら馬に乗ってゆっくり景色を楽しむ、という感じです。
途中、遅れを取った時にガイドの方が馬のお尻をちょっと叩いて駆け足になる、という場面があり、そこは少しスリルを感じられて楽しかったです。
先頭に外国人の参加者がいたので、その方たち向け？に英語で何か説明してたのですが、
私たちには分からず…
一列で並んで歩くので、同行者との会話もなかなか難しく、アクティビティとしては物足りなさを感じました。
ディズニーランドのジャングルクルーズぐらいガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるわけではなく、
スモールワールドくらい、乗り物に乗ってひたすら周りを眺めるという感じです。
森？木々の中を歩くことが多いので、日焼けや灼熱の心配はさほど要らないです。
マイナスな事を書きすぎましたが、
手綱を持たれる事なく一人で長い時間の乗馬は日本ではなかなか出来ないと思うので、
乗馬経験としては良かったし、馬に乗ってゆっくり景色や気持ち良い風を楽しむ、ということでは良いツアーだと思います。

I participated in a 2-hour course with my family (two adults and one 15-year-old child). We watched a 5-minute video in Japanese before starting the horseback riding. There were about five people in our group. The guide spoke only in English, but gave directions in Japanese, so there were no particular issues.

Since I was far from the guide, I couldn't understand the explanation of the course at all, but the horse was calm and walked slowly, allowing us to enjoy the best views. (It felt more like being taken on a ride to enjoy the scenery rather than actual horseback riding.)

I experienced some knee pain, possibly due to the equipment not fitting properly, but I highly recommend this activity. There were various courses available at the ranch, but I think this one is the best for enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace.

2時間のコースに参加しました。
家族三人で参加しました。(夫婦÷子供15歳)
日本語のビデオを5分程度見て、乗馬開始。
五人程度のグループでした。ガイドは、英語のみでしたが、行く方向を日本語で指示してくれて、特に問題有りませんでした。
ガイドと離れていた為、コースの説明は全く分かりませんでしたが、馬は大人しくてゆっくり歩いてくれたので、最高の景色を堪能できました。
(乗馬というよりは、馬に乗せて貰って景色を眺めるといった感じ)
器具があっていなかったのか、膝が痛くなりましたが、おすすめのアクティビティです。
牧場内に色々と参加出来るコースが有りましたが、一番ゆっくり景色を観れるコースかと思います。

I participated with my first-grade daughter and my family of three. Since it was my daughter's first time snorkeling, I was a bit anxious, but I felt reassured seeing a wide range of ages participating, from young to old.

We practiced snorkeling at a shallow sandbar, and during the actual event, the location was deep enough to make even the parents anxious. However, we were not rushed and were able to enjoy snorkeling at our own pace. It seems that my daughter's first snorkeling experience became a fun memory, as she wrote about it in her summer vacation diary.

On the boat, Yukiko provided humorous explanations in Japanese, which made it enjoyable. Thank you for taking so many great photos at the sandbar!

P.S. The suspicious-looking old man who came to greet the bus at the dock seemed to be in charge of singing and narration? His deep voice added to the atmosphere of the tour. All the other staff were also kind, which was great.

小学1年の娘と家族3人で参加しました。娘がシュノーケリングは初めてだったので不安でしたが、老若男女の幅広い世代が参加していて安心しました。

浅いサンドバーで、シュノーケリングの練習をして、本番では親も不安になる程深い場所でしたが、急かされることもなく、自分たちのペースでシュノーケリングを楽しめました。娘も初めてのシュノーケリングが楽しい思い出になったようで、夏休みの宿題の絵日記に書いていました。

ボート内ではゆきこさんが日本語でユーモアたっぷりの説明をしてくれて楽しかったです。またサンドバーでも映える写真をたくさん撮ってくださりありがとうございました！

P.S. 船着場でバスを出迎えに来る怪しげな風貌の老人は、歌・ナレーション要因？ 渋い声でツアーの雰囲気を盛り上げます。他のスタッフも皆親切で良かったです。

I enjoy horseback riding. I was looking forward to an outdoor ride visiting filming locations, but there was no explanation of the scenery, and we just passed by the photo spots. The young female instructor was unfriendly and didn't say a word. It was supposed to be a two-hour course, but we returned in just a little over an hour. When I experienced it in Canada, it was fun, so I was expecting something similar, but it was quite different. I won't participate again. The filming locations weren't that wonderful either. The photos in the guide are overly polished.

乗馬が趣味です。ロケ地巡りの外乗を楽しみにしていましたが、景観の説明もなく、フォトスポットも素通り。インストラクターの若い女性は無愛想で一言も言葉を発せず。2時間コースのはずなのに、1時間ちょっとで帰って来ました。カナダで体験した時は楽しかったので、そのつもりでいたらだいぶ違いました。もう二度と参加しません。ロケ地もそこまで素敵ではなかったです。案内の写真は出来すぎですね。

Standing on the board was more difficult than I expected. I fell into the sea multiple times and had to crawl back onto the board each time, which took quite a bit of energy. Moreover, the tide changed halfway through, and by the end, I was desperately paddling towards the shore.

I was able to experience SUP, which I had always wanted to try, and when I reached the shore, I was exhausted but very satisfied. It was quite hard for me, a forty-something with zero athletic ability, but my husband was able to stand up right away, so it really does come down to athleticism...

ボードの上に立つのは思っていたよりも難しく、何度も海に落ち、その度にボードに這い上がるので、結構体力を使いました。しかも途中から潮の流れが変わり、最後は必死で岸に向かってパドルを漕ぎました。
一度は体験したいと思っていたSUPを体験できて、岸に着いたときはヘトヘトでしたが大満足でした。
運動神経ゼロのアラフォーの私にはかなりハードでしたが、夫はすぐに立てるようになったので、やはり運動神経ですね・・・

My first zip line experience. I was nervous for the first run, but thanks to the staff's fun atmosphere, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I screamed, had fun, and felt liberated in the great outdoors! Next time, I want to challenge myself with the zip line again and also try buggy riding and horseback riding.

初めてのジップライン。ドキドキしながらの1本目でしたが、スタッフの楽しい雰囲気づくりのおかげで安心して楽しめました。大自然の中で叫び、楽しみ、心が開放されました！次回は、再度ジップラインに挑戦と、バギーや乗馬も体験したいです。

This was the highlight of our family trip! Our 1 year old had a blast! The boat didn’t give me sea sickness so that’s a plus! They serve one of the best burgers I’ve had and they serve alcohol! From captain to the guy that was talking about safety and all the cool info he knew to the guy with the guitar... it was such a great experience! Will definitely come back when we come back to the island. Don’t hesitate and book your tickets! It’s worth every dollar!

I was walking at the front, but it was very reassuring because the trained horse was steering. It seemed like it was going to get hot, so I prepared a hat, but I didn't need it since I wore a helmet. Next, I want to try the buggy experience.

By the way, I left Waikiki two hours before my reservation time, but there was a major traffic jam due to road construction, and I ended up arriving at the ranch just 15 minutes before my appointment. While stuck in traffic, I was anxious and frustrated, not knowing what was happening and whether I would make it on time.

先頭を歩いていましたが、訓練された馬が舵を取ってくますのでとても安心です。暑くなりそうでしたので、帽子も用意しておきましたが、ヘルメットをかぶるので必要ありませんでした。次はバギーを体験したいです。
余談ですが、ワイキキを予約時間の2時間前に出たのですが、道路工事で大渋滞しており、15分前に牧場に着いた次第です。渋滞中で車が動かない時は、何がおきているのか分からず、間に合うかどうか心配、イライラでした。

According to Mieko, our coach, the conditions were excellent. It was our family's first experience, but somehow all four of us managed to stand up on the board and move! (It was a short time, though, with a wry smile.) Anyway, the weather was great, and the view of Kailua from the board was amazing!

コーチ役のmiekoさんいわく、抜群のコンディションとのことで、家族4人で初体験でしたが、なんとか4人ともボードのうえに立ち上がって進むことができました！(短い時間でしたが、苦笑)
とにかく天気がよくて、ボードの上から見るカイルアの景色が最高です！

All staffs are greatly professional and friendly.
We want to experience this excursion with your team.
Food is very delicious as well.
Appreciate your kind guide and support us !

Sincerely,

Jin

There were so many horses and single-rider buggies that we couldn't make a reservation, so we participated in a five-person buggy with four people. But it was so much fun! The magnificent scenery and the views I had seen in movies were exciting. As we went further in, the temperature dropped and the air changed. It was an hour full of excitement!

馬も1人乗りバギーもいっぱいで予約出来ず、5人乗りバギーを4人で参加。でもこれがとても楽しかった！壮大な景色と映画で観たことのある景色に興奮。奥に行くにつれ、気温も下がり、空気が変わる。常にワクワクの1時間でした

I was relieved that I could learn how to operate the buggy in Japanese, so I felt comfortable driving. However, the tour guide spoke in English, so unfortunately, I couldn't understand what was being said.

Still, the scenery was amazing, and I was able to visit filming locations from movies, which was enjoyable. I think those who love off-roading will definitely have a great time.

The two hours flew by.

バギーの操作の仕方は日本語バージョンで聞くことができたので安心してドライブできました。しかし、ツアー中のガイドは英語でしたので残念ながら聞き取ることができませんでした。
それでも景色は最高だし、映画のロケ地もめぐることができ、楽しめることはできました。オフロードが好きな方も十分楽しめると思います。
あっという間の２時間でした。

I participated for the first time with my daughter in third grade, my son in second year of junior high, my 79-year-old father, my 74-year-old mother, and myself, a total of five people. I was worried about my mother, who has trouble walking, but we were able to enjoy the sandbar without any issues. My mother watched the snorkeling from the boat, but there were others who were also observing the snorkeling, and the atmosphere allowed everyone to participate freely according to their own condition, which was great.

The day before, a hurricane was approaching, and I was concerned about the weather, but during the tour until around 2:30 PM, we were able to enjoy the blue sky and the emerald green sea!

The female leader of the tour was excellent; her explanations were enjoyable, bright, and efficient, and the other staff members were very kind, making it a highly favorable tour. My son was impressed by the surprisingly delicious hamburgers.

We even encountered a sea turtle during the boat ride, and while snorkeling at the coral reef, we found a large sea turtle sleeping in a cave-like area, which made my daughter very happy.

It was also helpful that the bus departed from near the hotel. I had prepared marine shoes, but it turned out I didn't need to wear them. According to the staff, sometimes small sand can get in and actually be painful, so I think it's fine to prepare them and choose whether to wear them on-site.

It was a very enjoyable tour, and I'm glad we went.

小3の娘、中2の息子、79歳の父、74歳の母と私の5人で初参加しました。足の悪い母が心配でしたが、サンドバーは問題なく楽しめました。母はシュノーケリングは船から見ていましたが、ほかにもシュノーケリングを見学している人もいて、自分の状態で自由に参加できる雰囲気がよかったです。
前日からハリケーンが近づいていて、天気が心配でしたが、午後２時半ごろまでのツアー中は持ち、青い空、エメラルドグリーンの海を楽しめました！
女性の責任者の方のしきりがとても良く、説明も楽しく、明るく手際よく、ほかのスタッフの方々もとても親切で、好感度の高いツアーでした。
息子は、思った以上にちゃんとした美味しいハンバーガーに感動していました。
船の移動中にウミガメにも会えて、サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングでは、洞窟のような中で眠る大きなウミガメも見つけ、娘も大喜びでした。
ホテルの近くからのバスの発車も助かりました。
マリンシューズを用意してましたが、履かなくて大丈夫でした。スタッフの方によると、小さな砂が入り込んでかえって痛いこともある、とのことでした。準備しておいて現場で履く履かないは選ぶ、でいいかと思います。
とても楽しいツアーで、行けて良かったです。

We saved the best for last. We are a family of 4, mom, dad and 2 - 13 years olds. We had a fantastic time!! So much fun and great guides! The ranch is beautiful. You can ride horses, bus tour, atv or utv tours to take. We did the utv. It sits 5. Our sons wanted to drive at s but they are not old enough. They still loved it! Its where alot of great movies were filmed like Lost, jurasic park. Will recommand to everyone!!! And many more. They have a food availble too.
Best way to finish our great hawaii trip.

It was a great experience, we all loved it. Keola, our guide, was awesome and made the experience even better. He had a great sense of humor and was super knowledgeable, making the ride even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking to have a fun time.

I experienced a 2-hour horseback riding course. There were Japanese staff members, which made everything smooth! Although there was some waiting time, I felt reassured because I could watch a Japanese explanation video before riding. Aside from getting caught in a downpour, it was really great! I was soaked, and it felt a bit like saying goodbye just like that, which was a little disappointing. The scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun!

2時間コースの乗馬を体験しました。日本人従業員もいらっしゃり、スムーズでした！
待ち時間はありましたが、日本語の説明動画も見て乗馬することができたので安心！
途中でスコールに合うこと以外は本当によかった！
びしょびしょで、、、そのままはいさようならって感じだったのがちょっと、、って感じではありました。
景色も良くたのしかったです！

We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!

小学生高学年2人の子供と家族4人で参加。曇り予報でしたが、殆ど晴れで波も穏やか。各ホテルからバスで集まると、港で、日本語ガイドさんの船と、英語の船（外人）に分かれて乗船。説明もわかりやすく、ノリもよく楽しいガイドさん。サンドバーでは、写真の撮り方熟知しており、方向やポーズのアドバイスあり、何ショットもとってもらえました！海亀もこれでもかってほど見ました。シュノーケルは、潮が満ちていたせいか、やや濁りぎみでもまぁ魚は見えました。帰りは、濡れた水着でもタオルひけばバスに乗れますが、バス内が寒いので、乾いた服をもっていけばよかったかな。昼ごはんもかなり美味しかった！サンドバーきれいだったし、大満足！

It was a wonderful two hours! If you've ever ridden a horse, I highly recommend the two-hour ocean and mountain course! If it's your very first time, you might be too scared and nervous to enjoy the scenery, but if you have some experience, this is the best recommendation on Oahu. Definitely give it a try!

素晴らしい二時間でした❗馬に一度でも乗ったこと有る方なら迷わず二時間海山コースにしてください❗全く初めてなら、怖さと緊張で景色を見る余裕が無いかもですけど、乗ったこと有るからならオアフ島では一番のお勧めです。是非是非経験して下さい❗

Last year, my husband and I participated in the Manoa Falls tour, but this time we joined with our three grandchildren (ages 5, 7, and 10) and our daughter, making a total of six of us.
The sandbar was a bit deep for the grandchildren, but it was perfect for practicing snorkeling later on.
The barbecue on the boat was also very delicious, and we were extremely satisfied.
We were able to see some turtles (though it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many), and the staff were very kind, allowing us to have a fun day.

昨年は夫婦二人でマノアの滝ツアーに参加しましたが、今回は孫３人（５歳、７歳、１０歳）と娘、我々夫婦６人で参加しました。
サンドバーは孫達にはちょっと深かったですが、後で行うシュノーケリングの練習を行うには最適でした。
船上でのバーベキューも大変美味しく、大満足でした。
カメも見られ（ちょっと少なかったのが残念でしたが）、スタッフの方々も大変親切で楽しい一日を過ごせました。
