All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I was a bit anxious with just a simple explanation, but the horses were very well trained, and I was able to enjoy the experience. The scenery was also beautiful, and I think I was able to see a lot of Kualoa Ranch through this one experience. The guide was very kind, taking photos during the experience and also taking pictures for me from great spots.

簡単な説明のみで、不安でしたが馬がとても良く調教されており楽しんで体験することができました。
景色もとても良く、この体験一つでクアロアランチを大体みて回れたと思います。
ガイドさんもとても優しく、体験中写真を撮ってくれたり、いい場所からの写真を代わりに撮ってくれたりしてとても優しかったです。

This is my second time experiencing horseback riding, having first tried it in Haleiwa. Last time, I rode for an hour in the mountains, but this time at Kualoa, the ride was longer and I was excited because it’s a filming location for Jurassic Park. It was quite difficult to take photos while riding, and I was disappointed that I couldn't capture them as I had hoped.

ハレイワではじめて乗馬を体験し、今回で二度目になります。前回は一時間で山の中の乗馬でしたがクアロアでの乗馬は時間も長くジュラシックパークのロケ地ということもあって期待していました。馬に乗りながら写真を撮ることはなかなか難しく、思うようには撮れなかったのが残念でした。

Awesome time and great staff! Will have to do this one again next time.

I had a guided kayaking experience. In the morning, we kayaked, and in the afternoon, we borrowed bicycles and snorkeling gear to go cycling.

In the morning, we had a guided kayaking experience where the guide taught us a lot. We landed on a small island, and the guide shared interesting information about the island's wildlife, which was very enjoyable. We had the option to choose between guided or non-guided, but the guide's stories were so fascinating that I would prefer to have a guide again if I use the service in the future. The guide also took many photos for us, and we were able to receive the photo data later.

In the afternoon, after having a meal, we borrowed bicycles and cycled to Lanikai Beach. Kailua was beautiful, but Lanikai was also a wonderful place, and I was very satisfied to visit both.

When I was deciding whether to book the kayaking tour in Honolulu or Kailua, choosing Kailua was definitely the right decision. Waikiki is lovely, but I thought it would be quite difficult to get to Kailua on my own, so being able to experience the tour and enjoy the atmosphere of a different beach was fantastic. There were also various activities like Segway tours, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I think it would be nice to try different experiences.

ガイド付きのカヤック体験をしました。
午前中はカヤック、午後は自転車やシュノーケルの道具を借りる事ができるのでサイクリングをしました。

午前中は、ガイドの方に教えてもらいなぎらカヤック体験をしました。カヤックで小さな島に上陸し、島の生き物の事等いろいろ教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。ガイド付きか無しか選べましたが、ガイドの方のお話もとても面白く、再度利用するとしてもガイド付きにしたいな思えました。
ガイドの方が写真も沢山撮って下さり、後で写真のデータを貰うことも出来ました。

午後は、食事をした後、自転車を借りてサイクリングでラニカイビーチに行きました。カイルアも綺麗でしたが、ラニカイもとても素敵な所で、どちらにも行けて大満足です。

カヤックツアーに申し込む際に、ホノルルかカイルアか迷いましたが、カイルアにして大正解でした。ワイキキも素敵ですが、カイルアの方に自力で行くというのはなかなか難しいなと思ったので、ツアーも体験できて、違うビーチの雰囲気も楽しめて最高でした。
カヤック以外にもセグウェイ等色々あったので、またハワイに行く機会があれば、体験するものを変えて参加するのもいいなと思いました。

The place I wanted to visit the most in Hawaii this time!! Since the selected locations were only in the Waikiki area, I stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel and walked nearby ^ - ^ I was told it would be called in both Japanese and English, but it was all in English ^ - ^
The local guide was Japanese and very cheerful and wonderful (^^) I was able to see honu (sea turtles) and it was amazing!! I also saw manta rays!!
When getting off the boat to the sandbar, it was a bit deep (about waist-deep for me at 160 cm), which surprised me, but as you go towards the center, it becomes about calf-deep! If you ask the crew or captain for photos, they take great pictures for you! They can even take you on board w
The weather was nice and it was very beautiful!!

今回のハワイでは一番行きたかったところ！！ピックされる場所が、ワイキキエリアだけだったため、アラモアナ ホテルに宿泊した私は近くまで歩きました^ - ^日本語と英語で呼ばれるってことだったけど、全部英語でした^ - ^
現地のガイドの方は日本人の方で、すごく明るくて素敵な方でした(^^)ホヌも見ることができて最高！！マンタも見れました！！
船からサンドバーに降りる時、少し深くて（160センチの私で腰くらい）びっくりしたけど、中心に行くと、ふくらはぎくらいの深さになります！クルーやキャプテンに写真を頼むと、いい感じに写真撮ってくれます！のせられますw
お天気も良くとっても綺麗でした！！

The sea turtle watching was a lot of fun, with the staff providing great support! I was lucky to see a manta ray, which only appears occasionally! They also informed us about what we could and couldn't do at the sandbar, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any danger. There were light snacks and drinks provided, making it a fulfilling tour for the price.

ウミガメウォッチングではスタッフさんがしっかりフォローしてくださりとても楽しい時間でした！
たまにしか現れないマンタにも会えてラッキーでした！
サンドバーでもやっていいことダメなことを教えて下さり、危険もなく楽しみました。
軽食やドリンクも用意されてて価格の割には充実したツアーでした。

Well organised and friendly tour - plenty of time at both the sandbar and the snorkel location. Lunch was great, snorkel equipment provided, highly recommend doing this activity.

My husband and I decided to take the atv tour for our anniversary while vacationing in Oahu. We are both very satisfied with the tour and the guide (Pablo). We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the gorgeous views to see throughout the tour. There were 6 of us in a group and I thought that was nice and just enough people. We are very happy we decided to take this ride. The Kualoa Ranch has many things to do and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The tour was exciting, and the progress was smooth, making it enjoyable without getting bored! It was a bit cloudy due to the volcanic eruption, but I was satisfied. However, the hamburger for lunch was cold, so I would have preferred to eat it while it was warm.

ツアーの盛り上げ方、進行がスムーズで飽きずに楽しめました！噴火の影響で少し曇ってましたが、満足できました。
ただ、お昼のハンバーガーは冷めていたので
あったかいうちに食べたかったです

I thought it would be quite hard, but the guide helped us along the way and talked to us a lot, so it was really fun!! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I definitely think you should have a guide. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

けっこうハードかなと思ってましたが、途中からガイドさんが助けてくれたり、たくさんんお話してくれたので、すごく楽しかったです！！
あいにく天気は曇り空でしたが、絶対ガイドさんはつけるべきだと思います❀✿すごくいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

I experienced a 2-hour horseback riding plan with transportation included. The weather was cloudy on the way, but it gradually improved by the time the experience started, revealing the beautiful and vast scenery of Kualoa Ranch. The instructor was an English-speaking guide, and although I couldn't understand everything in English, they explained things with great effort, which made it enjoyable. The 2-hour course did make my backside hurt a bit, but the beautiful location made it the best experience.

送迎付きの2時間乗馬プランを体験しました。
道中の天気が曇りでしたが、体験時間になると天気が徐々に良くなり、

THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST DO WHEN YOU GO TO OAHU!!! Riding the ATV was sooo much fun and the view was BREATHTAKING!!! The staff was outstanding as well and made sure we had fun. I would honestly come back to the island just for this.

The weather was bad, but I enjoyed it.

It was difficult to carry the kayak to the coast. I think it's impossible for two women without assistance. I understand the reason for needing to carry it individually due to the location, but I forgot whether that was mentioned in the tour details. A tip of 15%-20% of the tour fee is requested during the final survey of the tour. It would be nice if the price included the tip, even though it becomes quite expensive. I was glad to receive the photos later via email, but there were no comments or anything, which felt a bit cold. I wondered if it was because the tip was small.

天気が悪かったですが楽しめました。

カヤックを海岸まで運ぶのは大変です。
女性2人の場合は手伝ってもらわないと無理だと思う。
立地環境の問題で個人で運ばないとダメな理由はわかりますが、
ツアー詳細にその旨を記載していたかは忘れてました。
チップはツアー代の15％-20％を
ツアー最後のアンケートの際に要求されます。
高額になりますがチップ込みの料金にしてもらうと嬉しいです。
写真は後でメールしていだだいて良かったですが
その際にコメントなどはなく、そっけないものでした。
チップが少なかったからかとも思いました。

Amazing perfect couldn't of been better. No volleyball tho :(

Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!

あいにくのお天気のため、気温が予想より低く、船上は風もあり少し寒く感じました。
ビーチタオル必須ですね、小さめのタオルだったのが後悔（笑）
ツアースタッフの皆さんは、暖まれるようにビーチバレーをしてくださったり
声かけで盛り上げてくださいました。
船上で食べるハンバーガーは格別！
タイトルがBBQとなってるのは、パテなどを焼くからなんでしょうかね？
午後からフリーになるので、とても１日を有効に使えました！

The tour was better than we had anticipated. We went with a 20 month old toddler, sea was calm.
The bus that picked us from the hotel was clean and the bus ride was relaxing.
The atmosphere was friendly, tour guides were fun and professional. Food was excellent, they catered for my spouse who has special dietary needs.
Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely go back to Sandbar with Captain Bob's sandbar adventure

Due to abnormal weather, we had to switch to a river experience instead of the ocean. In the morning, we had free time, so I explored the beach by bike. For lunch, I had a rather average pizza that felt very American, and then we headed to the experience. The strong winds made the return quite challenging, but our guide shared various explanations about the surrounding facilities and plants, which helped my 65-year-old mother complete the experience without falling into the water. It's just a shame about the weather. I would like to try the ocean on a sunny day in the future.

異常気象で海が大荒れのため川での体験になりました。
午前中はフリータイムにしてもらったので、自転車でビーチを散策。
お昼は米国っぽい可もなく不可もないピザを食べて、いざ体験へ。
風が強かったので帰りは中々大変でしたが、ガイドさんがいろいろと周辺の施設や植物などの説明など語りかけてもらったので、６５歳の母も水に落ずにしっかり完走することができました。天気だけがとても残念です。
今後は晴れた日に海へトライしてみたいです。

This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.

たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに･･･‼でも船上ＢＢＱハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。

It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.

天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう！スタッフもgood

Playing volleyball in the ocean was so much fun!! Even though we couldn't communicate, we enjoyed ourselves. Also, swimming with the turtles was a great experience.

海の中でやったバレーが楽しすぎた！！言葉通じなくても楽しめました。 あと、亀と泳げた感じも良かったです。

Chartered bus and boat with meals included. They also lend you masks and fins, so you don't have to worry about arranging those yourself. The meals are sufficient considering the location, and the prices are attractive compared to other companies. This tour is one of the few that allows snorkeling near the coral reefs and accepts children. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather, so I will participate again. Next time, I will dive in without a life jacket from the start!

バスと船のチャーターおまけに食事付き。マスクとフィンも貸してくれますので、自分で手配する煩わしさを考えると言うこと無しでしょう。
食事も場所を考えると充分ですし、価格も他社比較でも魅力的です。
サンゴ礁付近でスノーケリングができて、子供の参加を受け付けてくれるのはこのツアーくらいでは？
残念ながら天候に恵まれなかったので、また参加します。次回は最初からライフジャケット無しで潜りまくります！

It was pouring rain on the way there, which was disappointing, but by the time we arrived, the rain had stopped. I felt reassured to see several staff members who spoke fluent Japanese. We rented bicycles from Kailua Adventure. Although the waves were high and we couldn't enjoy snorkeling, we had a great time shopping and cycling. Since we had a long stay, we were able to enjoy a variety of activities.

向かう時は土砂降りで、残念な気持ちでしたが、到着したら雨が上がっていました。スタッフさんに日本語ペラペラな方が数人みえて　安心でした。レンタサイクルもカイルア・アドベンチャーさんでお借りしました。波が高くてシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったけど、ショッピングやサイクリングを満喫しました。滞在時間が長いからいろいろ楽しめますよ

On the day of the tour, it unfortunately rained, but I was able to see both sea turtles and manta rays up close! The staff were all friendly, making it a fun tour.

ツアー当日は生憎の雨模様でしたが、ウミガメ・マンタ両方を間近で見ることができました！
スタッフも気さくな方々ばかりで楽しいツアーでした。

I had a great time, but I think more people would attend if it were a bit cheaper. My light-colored slacks got stained brown. Maybe it was because the horse had brown wax on it, so I hope for a colorless wax next time.

非常に楽しかったが、もう少し格安であればもっと参集人員が増えると思う。白っぽいスラックスが茶色に染まり汚れた。多分馬に茶色のワックスがかかっておりそれが付着したので次回からムショクワックスを望む。

At first, I was worried that I might not be able to paddle out because the waves were strong and pushing me back as I was trying to get from the river to the sea. However, if you choose the right spot, you can definitely make it out to the open water. It was a lot of fun as we kept moving forward.

On the way, we landed on Flat Island, which had many wild birds that didn't mind having their pictures taken up close, so I could take as many photos as I wanted.

Since the kayak exposes your legs, I recommend applying sunscreen on them as well.

最初、川から海に出るところで波が激しくて押し戻されるため、漕ぎ出せないかもと不安になりましたが、場所を選べばちゃんと沖に出ていくことが出来ました。どんどん進むのでとても楽しかったです。
途中上陸したフラットアイランドには野鳥がたくさんいて、近くで写真を撮っても嫌がらないので、撮り放題でした。
足がむき出しになるカヤックなのでちゃんと足にも日焼け止めを塗っておくことをお勧めします。

We had a great experience. I went with my girlfriend, mom, and grandmother.
The tour gave us a good idea of the places we'd like to visit the next few days. Our tour guide, I think he name was Paul, was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and provided good advice for activities we could do the next few days.

The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

I wish the weather had been a bit better...
But snorkeling and sea turtle watching were both fun!

もう少しいいお天気だと良かったのですが。。。
でもシュノーケルも海ガメウォッチとも楽しかったです！

It was disappointing that the weather was cloudy, but the beach was emerald green and very beautiful. The optional bike rental allows you to visit Lanikai Beach and Kailua Town, providing a lot of freedom to enjoy the day without getting bored!

天気が曇りだったのは残念だけど、ビーチはエメラルドグリーンでとてもきれいでした。オプションのレンタサイクルでラニカイビーチやカイルアタウンにも行くことができるため自由度が高く1日飽きることなく楽しめます！

- Transportation
There is no hotel pickup, so you'll need to arrange your own transportation. From Waikiki, it takes just under two hours by public bus (one way, including transfer time, for $5.50), so it's best to clarify travel times using Google Maps. Don't linger on the way back; after finishing, it's advisable to check the bus schedule on Google Maps before relaxing. Since buses run infrequently, missing one could be quite disappointing. I was fortunate that the bus arrived right on time, but if I had missed it, I would have had to wait an hour.

- Meals
At a local log cabin, there are plenty of options like loco moco, hamburgers, and shrimp rice dishes, and you can eat well for about $15. If you want a change of atmosphere from the city, I recommend eating here.

- Clothing
It's probably best to avoid short-sleeved shirts and sandals. At the very least, you should refrain from wearing sandals. Since you'll be climbing a trail, if you're concerned about insect bites, long sleeves, long pants, and comfortable shoes are advisable. The weather in the jungle can be unpredictable, so having rain gear is a good idea. I used rain gear myself.

- Ziplining
The instructor's explanations are primarily in English. Well, as long as you follow along, you'll be fine. The ziplining experience in such an unusual environment was exhilarating. There were a few people around who seemed a bit scared, but if you can handle a roller coaster at an amusement park, you should be okay.

If you have some spare time and are looking for something other than Hawaii's beaches and shopping, I recommend it.

・移動
ホテルのピックアップはなく、独自での移動が必要。
ワイキキから、路線バスで2時間弱(片道、乗継時間含む、5.5ドル)なので、Googleマップで移動時間を明確にした方がよい。
帰りもゆっくりせず、終わったらすぐにGoogleマップで帰りのバスの時間を調べてからくつろぐなどした方がよいですね。
本数が少ないので、逃したら、なかなか凹みそう。
自分は抜群にタイミングよくバス来てよかったですが、乗れてなかったら1時間待ちになるところでした。

・食事
現地のログハウスで、ロコモコとかハンバーガーとか、エビのナントカライスとか豊富に揃ってるし、15ドルあれば充分に食べられるから、街中と異なって気分変えるならココで食べるのがオススメ。

・服装
半袖短パンサンダルは控えた方が無難かな。
少なくてもサンダルは控えるべき。
登山路みたいなのを登りながらだから、虫刺されも気にするなら、
長袖長ズボン動きやすい靴がよいです。
ジャングルで天候が乱れやすいから、雨具あるとよいです。
自分は雨具使いました。

・ジップライン
インストラクターさんの説明は基本英語。
まぁ、従ってればなんとかなります。
あまり体験出来ない環境でのジップラインは爽快でした。
周囲には多少怖がってるヒトも居ましたが、遊園地のジェットコースターがダイジョブなら平気かなと。

時間に余裕あったり、ハワイの海と買物以外なら、オススメです。
