All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I ran the one-hour course last time, so this time I challenged myself with the two-hour course. Despite the not-so-great weather, I started without wearing a poncho. As expected, it started to rain right away. However, I didn't mind getting soaked at all; the scenery was completely different from the one-hour course, and it was a totally different kind of fun. I definitely recommend the two-hour course!

一時間のコースは前回走ったので、今回は二時間コースにチャレンジ。
いまいち天候が良くない中、ポンチョも着ずにスタート。案の定直ぐに雨。
でも、ずぶ濡れも気にしない程、一時間コースとは違う風景で、全く違う面白さでした。
絶対に二時間コースがお薦めですよ。

It was a bit delayed until we got on the first horse, overlapping with other reservation groups, but the explanations in Japanese were helpful, so there were no issues. Once we started riding, the scenery that you can't experience in Japan was amazing. My horse was a bit stubborn, but that too became a good memory.

最初の馬に乗るまでが、他の予約グループとかぶりやや遅れましたが
日本語の説明もあり、問題なかったです。
乗馬スタートしてから、日本では味わえない景色等で最高でした
自分の馬がややわがままな子でしたが、それも良い思い出です。

The water level this time was waist-deep, but it was very beautiful. I had heard that it wouldn't look as good as in photos, so I wasn't disappointed. The colors of the sea and sky were also very beautiful. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays. I didn't go snorkeling because I can't swim, but my colleagues were thrilled to see sea turtles and beautiful fish up close. The staff were very cheerful and energetic, which was great. They were very kind, and I would definitely like to join this crew again when the opportunity arises.

今回の水位は腰下でしたがとても綺麗でした。
なかなか写真みたいにはならないと聞いてましたのでがっかり感はありませんでした。また、海と空の色がとても綺麗でした。ウミガメやマンタも見れて大満足です。シュノーケリングは泳げないからしませんでしたが、同僚たちはまじかてウミガメや綺麗な魚を見れて喜んでいました。
スタッフの方たちはとても明るく、テンション高めで対応してくれて良かったです。とても親切でまた機会あるときは是非このクルー達と参加したいです。

The sandbar had water up to my waist, but I was very satisfied to see the emerald sea. I was also very pleased with the hospitality of the crew. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

サンドバーは腰の高さまで水がありましたが、
エメラルドの海が見られて大変満足でした。
クルーの皆さんのホスピタリティにも大満足。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

Overall, I was satisfied with the service, but the heavy rain made the sea very rough and the visibility wasn't great. Still, it was cleaner compared to the seas in Japan... It's understandable given the weather, but it's disappointing considering the high price I paid. I would like to try again next time.

サービスは全体的に満足ですが、何と言っても大雨で海は大荒れ、透明度もイマイチ。それでも日本の海に比べたら綺麗でしたが…天候のせいなので仕方ないのですが、高いお金を払っただけに残念です。次回またリベンジしたいです。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, but it was great to see so many rays and sea turtles. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle resting in a coral nook, and I was able to touch its shell as it surfaced for air. The shell of the green sea turtle, which was about 60 cm long, had several barnacles on it, giving it a dignified appearance that suggested it was quite old.

当日はあいにくの曇模様で下が、エイやウミガメがたくさん見えたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの時にはサンゴのくぼみで休んでいたウミガメがいて、息つぎに浮上して来たところで甲羅にタッチすることができました。体長60cmはあろうかというミドリウミガメの甲羅にはフジツボが何個かついていて年齢を重ねていると貫禄がありました。

I highly recommend everyone to do this excursion! This was probably the highlight of my whole trip to O’ahu during 10/19-10/25. From the hospitality of the staff to the excursion activities itself, I would want to do this every time I come back!

I also met a gentleman (the one that provides entertainment during lunch) and he was making handmade bracelets with palm leaves. If any of the staff can help me out in getting in contact with him - because I recently lost my anklet he made when I came back to the mainland, that would be great!

Other than that, literally best time of my life!!

Beach was beautiful, but it felt that the time was too short. Would've liked it longer. Catamaran cruise is included with this. Same trip if you purchase the Catamaran cruise by itself. You get two in one but it shortens your time at the beach. And sadly we were not told this, so we did 2 Catamaran trips which were exactly the same. No difference. Secret beach itself was beautiful with hammocks, kayaks, etc available.

Enjoyed it. Would have liked it to be a little longer but we were able to get great photos and see some sea turtles. If you are already at the Kualoa Ranch, then I recommend to do this too! Boat ride was nice and views were amazing!!! Tour guides were very informative.

Definitely worth it!!! 2 hours was just enough time to see the entire ranch and not be rushed. Ride was so fun! I recommend this over the single rider ATV because the passenger can get great video while the driver is driving and more pictures are taken because you're not driving. Great because I had my own ATV with my husband, and we just soaked in the beautiful scenery. A must do when coming to Hawaii!!! Especially seeing where so many movies were filmed! Loved it! Best part of my Hawaii trip!

When we arrived at the harbor in Kaneohe Bay, we were hit by a torrential downpour and were worried about whether we could set out to sea, but it stopped after about 10 minutes and we were able to depart safely. The water level was a bit high that day, reaching up to our thighs at the shallowest point. Perhaps because of the rain, the water was cold and slightly murky, but we were able to enjoy the emerald green sea typical of a sandbar.

The hamburger for lunch was surprisingly delicious, and the staff were cheerful, creating a great atmosphere. During the sea turtle watching, we encountered not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and while snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside the sea turtles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

カネオヘ湾の港に着いたときに土砂降りの雨に見舞われ海に出れるか不安でしたが、10分ほどで止み無事に出港。この日は少し水位が高めで一番浅くて太ももあたりでした。雨が降ったからか水が冷たく少し濁り気味でしたが、サンドバーらしいエメラルドグリーンの海を楽しむことが出来ました。
ランチのハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく、スタッフも明るくて良い雰囲気で過ごせました。
海ガメウォッチングで海ガメはもちろんレアなマンタに遭遇し、シュノーケリングでは海ガメと一緒に泳げたりと、総合的にはとても満足度が高かったです。

I had a two-hour horseback riding experience. At first, I felt a bit scared because I wasn't used to it, but gradually I got accustomed and was able to take in the scenery around me. However, after riding for two hours, my backside started to hurt, and I realized how challenging horseback riding can be.

２時間の乗馬体験をしました。
始めは、慣れてないので、怖いくらいに感じましたが、次第に慣れて周りの景色を見る余裕ができました。が２時間乗っているというお尻が痛くなり、乗馬の大変さもわかりました。

Due to a change in the trade winds a few days ago, my son was stung by a Portuguese man o' war (electric jellyfish) that washed ashore. It was quite a situation, but the beach is truly beautiful and a wonderful place. After receiving first aid, my son relaxed on the grassy area.

I think many Japanese people are not very aware of the dangers of the Portuguese man o' war, so for those with children, it's important to do some image searches beforehand and be cautious not to touch them. It seems that they can wash up not only in Kailua but also in Lanikai and Waikiki. Additionally, jellyfish warnings are issued about 9 to 12 days after a full moon.

貿易風の流れが数日前から変わった影響で流れ着いたカツオノエボシ（電気クラゲ）に息子が刺されて、大変でしたが、ビーチは本当に綺麗で、素敵なところです。
刺された息子は応急処置後、芝生の広場でのんびり休息していました。
日本人はあまりカツオノエボシの怖さを知らないと思うので、お子様連れの方は、事前に画像検索などをして、触ったりしないように注意が必要ですね・・・。
カイルアだけでなく、ラニカイ、ワイキキでも漂着することがあるそう。
また満月の9～12日後はクラゲ注意報が出るそうですよ。

We all experienced kayaking for the first time in our lives. It was fun. Snorkeling was also fun and food was good too.

It seems that it is almost never the case that the sand appears at low tide as mentioned in the title. By the way, I heard that there hasn't been any sand visible this year. The crew members are very nice people. I was able to see turtles. The snorkeling was not great, with few fish. If you're bringing small children, make sure to take floaties with you. You should abandon any sweet thoughts of seeing a beautiful sandbar like I did.

題のように干潮になって砂が現れることは、ほぼないようです。
ちなみに今年に入って砂が見れた事はないと聞きました。
クルーの皆さんはとても良い方達です。
亀は見れました。
シュノーケリングは魚も少なく微妙です。
小さい子供連れの方は浮輪などを持っていくようにしましょう。
自分の時は綺麗なサンドバーが見れるなど、甘い考えは捨てた方がいいでしょう。

We, who have no English skills, managed to get by with the atmosphere, but the explanations were almost entirely in English. The staff were all very kind, and we were able to have a bright and enjoyable time. However, the smell of the harnesses and hats used for the zip line was... I think there are some hits and misses, but even Febreze might not help. My clothes ended up smelling too, and I changed after arriving at the hotel.

The zip line itself was surprisingly fast and fun. The transportation included a movie filming tour, which was very fulfilling.

英語力のないわたしたちは、雰囲気でのりこえましたが、説明はほぼほぼ英語のみです。
スタッフさんは皆さんとても親切で、明るく楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ただ、ジップラインで使用するハーネスや帽子のにおいが。。。
当たり外れは有ると思いますが、ファブリーズも効きそうにないです。
洋服にもにおいがついてしまい、ホテルに到着後に着替えました。

ジップライン自体は、意外にスピード感が有り面白かったです。
送迎では、映画撮影巡りなども盛り込まれていてとても充実していました。

I had checked the low and high tides in advance, so I thought I wouldn't be able to walk easily on the sandbar, and that turned out to be true. I think it's best for participants to expect water levels up to about waist height. However, the staff's energy was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed activities like volleyball, snorkeling, and lunch! If you're lucky, you can see a few sea turtles; I spotted five and was able to swim with two of them! Lucky!! One point to note is that it can get quite chilly on the boat when the weather is cloudy, so it's essential to have something to wear on top.

事前に干潮、満潮は調べていたのでサンドバーの上をスタスタ歩くことはできないだろうと思っていたらその通りでした。腰ぐらいの高さまでは普通にあるものだと思って参加された方がいいかと思います。ただ、スタッフさん皆さんのテンションは最高でバレーボール、シュノーケリング、昼食など存分に楽しめました！ウミガメも運が良ければ数匹見れます、私は5匹見つけ、2匹と一緒に泳げました！ラッキー！！1点だけ、移動する際の船の上は天候が曇りだと結構冷えるので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

I was satisfied with the opportunity to enjoy the great nature of Kualoa. Since there is no galloping, I think even beginners can participate with confidence.

クアロアの大自然を堪能でき、満足でした。
駈足などしないので、乗馬初心者でも安心して参加できると思います。

I signed up for a one-hour course!
In the magnificent scenery, the horse seemed to remember the path well and walked straight and calmly, which made me feel at ease ( ^ω^ ). However, it occasionally stopped to eat grass, which was amusing.
The instructions are given through a video, so I think it's fine even if you don't speak English!
I thought two hours might be a bit too long, so one hour was just right ( ^ω^ ).
If I had been riding for too long, my backside might have started to hurt... haha.
I really wanted to try horseback riding in Hawaii, so this is a wonderful memory for me ( ^ω^ ). By the way, I think if the weather is nice, exposed areas like arms can get sunburned easily, so it might be a good idea to apply sunscreen for peace of mind ( ^ω^ ).

1時間のコースに申し込みしました！
壮大な景色の中、馬もちゃんと道も覚えてるみたいで、まっすぐおとなしく歩いてくれるので、安心でした( ^ω^ )ただ、たまに草を食べたりなど、道草はします。笑
説明はビデオを見るので、英語ができなくても大丈夫だと思います！
2時間では少し長すぎかな〜と思ったので、1時間でちょうどよかったです( ^ω^ )
ずっと乗っていたら、お尻も痛くなりそうなので。。笑
ハワイで乗馬はしてみたかったので、とてもいい思い出です( ^ω^ )ちなみに、天気がいいと、腕など露出している部分はとても日焼けすると思うので、日焼け止め塗っていったほうが安心かなと思います( ^ω^ )

The pick up was right on time and was greeted by a very knowledable and talented host who gave us information about the island and the adventure ahead of us. He also sang us songs and got to know each of us. The first part of the adventure was to board 2 katamarans and sail to the sandbar. The crew was also very knowledgeable and made sure we all knew what to do. They spoke many languages so everyone was cut in. The sandbar is amazing where you wade in waste deep water and enjoy the company of other travelers or play water volleyball. After that we boarded the boat and went to see the green sea turtles which we all over the area while the crew prepared lunch. The lunch was a grilled burger which was vert flavorful and juicy. All the fixings were available along with baked beans, potato salad etc. soft drinks, ice tea, hot tea and coffee were free and beer and wine was available for purchase. After lunch we sailed to the reef where we readied for snorkeling. All equipment was available from masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets. The crew kept an eagle eye on all of us to ensure our safety. The snorkeling was wonderful with a nice display of fish and some turtles who didn’t mind us being there. My wife came face to face with a turtle and went above water for air the went back under with the turtle. This was one of the best adventures we’ve had and can be enjoyed by all ages. We had young people and I am 66 years so all ages can enjoy. The crew saw to our every need from helping us to put equipment on to helping the first times who seemed to enjoy it the most. After that we headed back to shore, the bus and our ride home. I can’t say anything but good about this adventure and will do it again next year when we return. The driver, the host and the crew made this a very perfect day for us❤️❤️❤️

This is my third time participating in this tour. I have joined tours from other companies, but the Angel's Sea from All Hawaii Cruise is the most fun. This is what an American hamburger is all about! Thanks to the fun staff, my excitement starts from the welcome bus, and the lunch hamburger is incredibly delicious!

このツアー参加は3度目です。他社のツアーにも参加したことがありますが、オールハワイクルーズの天使の海が一番楽しいです。これぞアメリカンハンバーガーですね！楽しいスタッフの方のおかげで、お迎えのバス内からテンション上がりますし、なんてったってランチのハンバーガーがピカ一美味い！

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only swam a little because it was my first time snorkeling, but this time I swam around the coral reef. As a result, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I wanted to be taken to the Dragon Palace, but instead of the angelic sea, I felt like I was heading to the real paradise. (Considering my age...) For lunch, the beautiful young captain grilled hamburgers, which were very delicious. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was also fun. Next time, if I have the opportunity, I would like to take photos with the sea turtles again.

今回で、2回目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングは、初めてなので少ししか泳ぎませんでしたが、今回は２回目なので、サンゴ礁近の周りを泳ぎました。その結果、海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました。このまま竜宮城へ連れて行ってもらいたかったのですが、天使の海でなく、本当の天国のへ海に逝ってしまいそうでした。（年齢もそれなりですが・・・）昼食は、美人の若い船長自らの、焼いたハンバーガーでとてもおいしかったです。サンドバーでの、バレーボールも楽しかったです。
次回、機会があったらまた、海亀と一緒に写真を撮りたいです。

The guide was great, and the sandbar was waist-deep, which made me wonder how planning a sandbar visit during this time of year would be. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, which was really disappointing. However, the hamburger for lunch was delicious. On the other hand, the drinks were a letdown.

調子のいいガイドさんとサンドバーが腰まで浸かりこの時期にサンドバーを計画するのはどうなのかな？と思いました。また、ウミガメも遠くからしか見えず全く残念。ただ、ランチのハンバーガーは美味しかった。でも、飲み物は残念でした。

My wife and I participated in the tour with our daughter. Since we were there, we chose the two-hour course because it included movie filming locations and views of the ocean. However, after two hours, even though I had experience riding horses when I was younger, my backside started to hurt. It's funny, but for those with hemorrhoids, two hours might be tough. The horses are gentle, so even beginners can follow along without much issue. There were a few times when the horse stopped to eat grass, and I had to pull on the reins a bit harder. Aside from the pain in my backside, I was satisfied with the experience.

After participating in the Honolulu Marathon, I felt a bit anxious about being alone, but the staff were very kind. I definitely encourage everyone to join!

ホノルルマラソンへ参加後の一人参加で不安もありましたが、スタッフの方が親切で
是非、皆さんも参加してください。

Even though it was cloudy and raining that day, we had fun riding dirty ;] the views were equally beautiful and breath taking!!!!

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR . EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY LONG TOUR, ITS WORTH IT. SAW AND TOOK LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL VIEWS!!! THE STAFF WAS REALLY INFORMATIVE AND NICE.

While horseback riding, it started to rain and I got completely soaked. It was quite cold that day, so at the souvenir shop, I could only find a muumuu for myself and a T-shirt for my husband, and I returned home with my pants still wet.

If you're going to use a locker for your belongings, I think it would be a good idea to bring a simple change of clothes.

The horseback riding was amazing. Both my horse (Dolcera) and my husband's horse (Big Sexy) were greedy and would munch on grass the moment I let my guard down, acting as if nothing was happening even when I scolded them... We had such a fun and happy time.

乗馬中、雨が降り 全身びしょびしょになりました。その日は寒いくらいでしたので、お土産の売店で 私はムームー、主人はTシャツしか売っていなくて、ズボンは濡れたままで帰りました。
ロッカーに荷物を預けるなら 簡単な着替えを持っていっても良いかなと思います。

乗馬は最高でした。主人の馬（ビッグセクシー）も私の馬（ドルセラ）も食いしん坊で、気を抜くと すぐ草を食べ　注意しても何食わぬ顔・・・何とも楽しい幸せな時間を過ごしました。

Since you can't go to the movie location without the 2-hour course, I chose the 2-hour course, but it was quite long... My butt started to hurt... (as expected, lol) But it was fun. Next, I want to go horseback riding by the seaside.

2時間コースじゃないと映画ロケ地へ行けないので
2時間コースにしましたが、なかなか長かった…
お尻が痛くなりました…（案の定ｗｗ）
でも楽しかったです。次は海辺での乗馬をしたいな

The tour was ok. There are a number of things that this group could do to make this a better, more rounded tour. The tour could have picked us up earlier to get us over to Kaneohe and in the water sooner. As it was the tour/adventure felt forced/rushed instead of being a relaxing experience. He equipment provided could have been of a better quality. Perhaps more time snorkeling for what is billed as a snorkelling adventure would have been better. The crew on the boat were good and tried to make things enjoyable for everyone.
