All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I was a bit anxious since I had only done horseback riding when I was little, but the staff were very kind and friendly in teaching me, which was great. In the group with many Japanese people, there were those who could speak Japanese to assist us.

This tour, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery while horseback riding and spend time with cute and gentle horses, is something I would love to join again.

I thought the early start time was a bit sleepy, but it turned out to be a great decision! By the time we were leaving, it was quite crowded. It was my first time in Hawaii, and it became a wonderful memory.

乗馬は小さい頃にしかやってなかったので不安でしたが、スタッフの方々がとても親切に、そしてフレンドリーに教えてくれたので良かったです。日本人の多いグループには日本語もわかる方々が付き添ってくれました。
乗馬をしながら美しい景色をながめて、キュートで優しく馬と過ごせるこのツアーはまた参加したいです。
参加時間が早くてちょっと眠いなぁと思いましたが、早い時間帯で大正解！！
帰るころにはかなり混雑してました。初めてのハワイでしたが、素敵な思い出になりました。

I checked the tide chart and participated during the lowest tide, but I still got soaked up to my knees. Since the sandbar was my goal, I was a bit disappointed about that. The sandbar seemed to stretch quite a long way, but perhaps the tour companies stop at different places to disembark. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views of the blue sky, the sea, and the surrounding mountains. I also saw sea turtles and mantas, but overall, I feel it might be more geared towards younger people.

潮目表を見て最低水位の時に参加したもののの、膝くらいまでは浸かりました。サンドバーが目的でしたので、その点は残念です。サンドバー（浅瀬）はかなり長い範囲につながっているように見えましたが、ツアー会社によって船をとめて降りる場所が違うのかもしれません。もっとも、青空と海、そして周辺の山の景色は極上で堪能しました。
ウミガメやマンタも見れましたが、全体的に若者向けかな〜という気がします。

Since this is a nature tour, it's understandable, but the bad weather and poor visibility left me feeling unsatisfied...

Regarding snorkeling, we all swam in a line along a predetermined route, so I was too focused on keeping up with everyone to really enjoy the underwater experience... (We had a group with both strong and weak swimmers, including children.)

Also, I had somewhat prepared myself for this in advance, but the water level at the sandbar was only up to my knees at most. Jumping for a photo was impossible.

自然が相手のツアーなので仕方がないのですが、天気が悪い＆透明度が悪くて、不完全燃焼でした……
スノーケルに関しては、決まっているルートを全員で一列になって泳ぐため、周りに合わせるので精一杯で海の中を楽しむ余裕があまりありませんでした…(泳げる人や泳げない人、子供などの団体になる為)
あとは、事前にある程度は覚悟していましたが、こちらのツアーではサンドバーでの海水位が膝下が精一杯でした。
ジャンプして写真を写すのは無理です。

It was incredibly cloudy and extremely cold... I participated on a day that was so cold, I couldn't believe it was Hawaii. The scenery was also disappointing due to the clouds, and the sandbar had water levels only up to my knees, which was a big failure. It was so cold that I didn't participate in snorkeling and waited on the boat instead. I think if you're going to the sandbar, you should definitely choose the right season to go.

The staff were very cheerful and tried their best to lift the mood; they were kind and pleasant. If I ever go again for a revenge trip, I would choose this tour.

とにかく曇っていて滅茶苦茶寒かった。。。
ハワイでこんなに寒いことってあるのか・・・というくらい寒い日に参加してしまいました。
そして、曇っていた分、景色もイマイチで、肝心のサンドバーも膝上くらいまでの水位だったので、大失敗でした。
あまりに寒いので、シュノーケリングには参加せず、船で待機させて頂きました。
サンドバーに行くなら、やはりちゃんと時期を選んで行くべきだと思いました。

スタッフの方達は、とても明るく、何とか盛り上げようとしてくれて、親切で感じが良かったですし、いつかまたリベンジで行くならば、このツアーを選びます。

There are a lot of people, and the short snorkeling experience is not well organized. The snorkeling tour in Okinawa was much better.

人は多いし、体育会系の短時間シュノーケル、段取りも決してよくは無い、沖縄でのシュノーケルツアーの方がよっぽど良かったです。

Natalie and Zooey were awesome! We had an amazing day. They took pictures and shared it with us.

The only downside is that the snorkeling was not in clearer waters.

I was a bit anxious about my first horseback riding experience, but I was able to watch a Japanese DVD, which made me feel at ease and enjoy it. The vast grounds were very pleasant. However, since we were outside for an hour and the horses move slowly, the same spots were exposed to UV rays for a long time. Sun protection is essential. I ended up getting a bad sunburn on my shoulders. Ladies, please be careful.

初の乗馬で少し不安もありましたが、日本語のDVDを見せてもらうことができ、安心して楽しむことができました。
広大な敷地でとても気持ちよかったです。
ただ、1時間と外にいる時間が長く馬はゆっくりなので同じ場所に紫外線が当たることになります。日焼け対策は必須です。私は肩がとても焼けてしまいました。女性の方注意してください。

There were three cars running besides the lead car, but the other two were very slow, constantly going and stopping. It's disappointing that I couldn't drive comfortably.

先導車以外で3台走行でしたが他の2台が非常に遅く行っては待ち、行っては待ちの繰り返し。
気持ち良く走れず残念。

About an hour by car from Waikiki and about 30 minutes by cruise ship from the harbor, we landed on a truly mysterious sandbar. The shallow area, about 100 meters in diameter, is surrounded by marine blue waters, and the water level is only knee-high, so the kids were able to play safely. We observed tropical fish while snorkeling, and the tour included lunch, which made for a very satisfying experience.

P.S. There was a funny local staff member who had a tattoo of his daughter's name (in kanji!) on his body.

ワイキキから車で1時間、ハーバーからクルーズ船で30分位でしょうか。なんとも不思議なサンドバーに降り立ちました。直径100m程の白い砂の浅瀬はマリンブルーの海の囲まれ、海面も膝の高さ程度ですので、お子様達も安心して遊べていました。シュノーケリングで熱帯魚を観察し、昼食もついて大満足のツアーでした。

P.S. 体に娘さんの名前のタトゥーを入れた（漢字！）、初老の現地スタッフのおじさんが面白かったです。

Great day at the sandbar, very nice crew, had a wonderful day at this cruise

Great experience. very funny driving, seeing nice places. Make sure u have a sunglass and hat, maybe something to cover your mouth while driving because of the dust. get ready to get dirty but its a lot of fun!!!

It was a safe depth for elementary school students to swim comfortably! The hamburgers for lunch were also delicious.

小学生にはちょうど良い深さの海で安心して泳がせることができました！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです

I didn't understand English, so I was very anxious from the reception to the riding time, but the instructors were kind and attentive, which was great.

英語がわからず、受付から騎乗までの時間は大変不安でしたが、インストラクターの方たちが親切丁寧でよかったです。

Horseback riding in Hawaii's great outdoors, just like Jurassic Park, was amazing. I was impressed by the cuteness and intelligence of the horses.

まさにジュラシックパークのようなハワイの大自然での乗馬は最高でした。
馬の可愛さと賢さに感動です。

Honestly, I felt like I could have skipped this experience as my memories of my stay in Hawaii were quite faint.

First, we headed to the sandbar. It was a shallow area with water up to our knees, and there was no beach at all. We stayed there for about an hour, but after taking photos for around 30 minutes, it felt like everyone else was just waiting on their boats.

After that, the lunch burgers took a really long time. Everyone was standing in line, and it took about 20 minutes to distribute the food to everyone after picking it up. I think it was because one staff member was out sick. The taste was good, so it was disappointing. Everyone was expressing their dissatisfaction.

Next, we went to a spot where we saw turtles from the boat and swam around the coral reef, which took about 45 minutes. This part was average.

The biggest disappointment was the absence of the sandbar, which I regretted. Considering my lack of preparation beforehand and the time wasted waiting for food and at the sandbar, along with only about an hour of total swimming time, I can't really recommend this experience. Other tours were more intense but allowed for plenty of swimming, and I had memorable encounters with turtles and dolphins right in front of me.

正直参加しなくてもいいぐらい、ハワイ滞在での記憶が薄かったです。
まず最初に、サンドバーに向かいました。
そこは浅瀬で膝まで海水があり、砂浜は全くありませんでした。
そこに1時間ぐらい滞在しましたが、30分間ぐらいで写真を撮ったら、他の方もボートで待ってる感じでした。
その後昼食のバーガーはすごく時間がかかり全員行列状態で立ったまま並んで、受け取りに行き全員に配り終えるのに最後の方は20分はかかりました。スタッフの方が1人風邪で休みになったため、だと思いますが、
味は良かったので、残念です。みんな不満を言っていました。
次に向かったところでは、亀を船上から見て、サンゴ礁のまわりを泳ぐのですが、ぐるっと一周します。およそ45分ぐらいです。
こちらは普通でした。

目的のサンドバーが無いことが、1番不満で、後悔しました。
自分の事前の勉強不足と、食事にサンドバーにとだらだらと待たされたり、泳いでいる合計時間は1時間ぐらいと考えると、あまりおすすめではありません。
他のツアーでは、ハードでしたが泳ぎまくれ、亀やイルカが目の前まで来てくれ、すごく思い出に残っています。

I was able to go to my long-awaited Lanikai Beach by renting a bicycle! (I struggled a bit to get used to the brakes.) I was also able to rent a snorkeling set, so I was happy to see a lot of fish. The pizza for lunch was very delicious, but I regretted leaving about half of it because the portion was so large. If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to use this service.

レンタサイクルを借りて、念願のラニカイビーチに行くことができました！
（なかなかブレーキのかけ方が慣れなくて苦労しましたが）
シュノーケルセットも借りられたので、魚もたくさん見られてよかったです。
お昼のピザがとてもおいしかったのですが、量が多くて半分くらい残してしまったのが心残りでした。
また行くことがあったら、是非利用したいです。

I had a very fun experience with a Japanese lady and some joke-loving gentlemen who provided explanations during the tour!

They indicated the direction of the turtles based on the clock, with the front of the boat being 12 o'clock. But sometimes they would tell little lies (laughs) like "Dolphins at 5 o'clock! Whales at 3 o'clock! Just kidding!"

I'm not sure if it was just that day, but they appeared in large numbers all around.

After a bit of movement, we enjoyed snorkeling for the first time at the sandbar, surrounded by lots of fish and coral reefs. The light meal afterward was simple, yet it tasted incredibly delicious!

I highly recommend it.

とっても楽しい日本人お姉さま(&ジョーク好きなオジサマ達)が説明添乗していただけました！

船の前方方向が12時として、時間でカメのいる方角を教えてくれます。
でも時々ウソつきます(笑)イルカ5時！クジラ３時！ウソ！とか。

この日だけなのか分かりませんが、アッチコッチに大量に現れてくれました。

そして少し移動してサンドバーでは初体験のシュノーケリングを大量のお魚さんたちとサンゴ礁と楽しみました。そのあとの軽食は簡単なものなのにとてもとても美味しく感じました！

おすすめです。

This time, my family of three participated in a five-person buggy ride, and I never imagined that racing through nature in a buggy could be so much fun. The weather was great, the scenery was amazing, and my child was thrilled with the new experience. I would like to stop by Kualoa again during our stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

今回、家族3人で、５人乗りバギーに参加したのですが、
大自然の中を、バギーで疾走するのが、こんなに楽しいとは想像できませんでした。
天気も良く景色も最高で、子供も未体験の感覚に喜んでおります。
またハワイ滞在の際には、クアロアに立ち寄りたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and the staff were very friendly!
I was surprised by the size of the pizza I ordered for lunch!
I couldn't help but laugh. (I finished it all)
In the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and went shopping in Kailua.
It was great to shop without worrying about the kids and dad!
(The staff gave me some advice.)
The kids and dad rented bodyboards and enjoyed riding the waves.
They were happy to see fish and crabs.
It's a beach I want to visit again.

天気も良く、海はキレイ、ｽﾀｯﾌの皆さんはとても親切！！
ﾗﾝﾁで頼んだﾋﾟｻﾞの大きさにビックリ！！
笑わずにはいられませんでした。（完食）
午後は私だけ自転車を借りて、ｶｲﾙｱまでお買い物に。
子供とﾊﾟﾊﾟに気兼ねする事無く、買い物ができて最高！
（ｽﾀｯﾌの方にｱﾄﾞﾊﾞｲｽして頂きました）
子供たちとﾊﾟﾊﾟはﾎﾞﾃﾞｨｰﾎﾞｰﾄﾞを借りて波乗り？を楽しんでいました。
魚やｶﾆを見れて、子供たちはうれしそうでした。
また、行きたいﾋﾞｰﾁです。

We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!

It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.

It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!

ウミガメが間近にプカプカと泳いでいて子供がとても喜びました
サンドバーはとても綺麗で感動しました。周りの山に海とても生えて綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングはしてもしなくても良いとの事ですがせっかくなので行いましたが、たくさんの人数で行うので海の透明度は沖縄の方があると思います！
子供にはいい体験でした！
スタッフの方々がとてもアットホームで船の上も楽しく過ごすことができました！

We applied as a couple with our 17-year-old daughter, but I ended up with a back injury at the location, so my husband and daughter participated without me. My daughter was very satisfied and said it was the most fun she had during our six-day stay in Oahu. Until two days prior, it showed no cancellation fee, but since we couldn't print the updated voucher on-site, I felt it was a waste not to cancel. If we have the chance next time, I would like to experience other courses at Kualoa Ranch together.

夫婦と17歳娘で申込みしましたが現地でギックリ腰になり夫と娘二人での参加になりました。
娘は大満足で、6日間のオアフ島滞在で一番楽しかったそうです。
二日前までキャンセル料なしと表示でしたが、変更後のバウチャー印刷が現地でできないのでキャンセル連絡せずもったいなく思いました。
今度機会があればクアロア牧場の他のコースも一緒に体験したいです。

It seems that the tides vary by day, and on the day of my visit, the sandbar was not fully exposed. It's a pity. Initially, the shallow sea and sandbar offered an hour and a half of free time, but I ended up walking endlessly with nothing to do. The lunch hamburger was quite delicious. During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I unexpectedly encountered a sea turtle. I was lucky.

日によって満ち引きの違いがあるみたいで、当日はサンドバーが完璧に出てませんでした。
残念。
最初遠浅の海、サンドバーですが、に1時間半の自由時間、する事がなく延々歩きました。
ランチハンバーガーは、かなり美味しいです。
昼からのシュノーケリングで、偶然ウミガメに遭遇。
ラッキーでした。

The sandbar had clear and beautiful water.
As expected, the sightseeing in Japan was enjoyable.
The pickup arrived on time.

サンドバーは水が澄んでいてとてもきれいでした。
やはり日本語の観光は楽でした。
時間通りに迎えも来ました。

The pickup driver, shop staff, and guide were all friendly and kind. The tour itself was coordinated to match my level. I would like to use this service again.

ピックアップのドライバー、ショップスタッフ、ガイド共にフレンドリーで親切な対応でした。
ツアー自体も自分のレベルに合わせてコーディネートしてくれました。
また利用したいです。

Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.

サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高！４歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。

I was able to see many sea turtles both from the boat and at the sandbar. The staff were friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time.

船上からもサンドバーについても多くのウミガメに会うことができました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I attended my eldest son's wedding on Oahu. We played volleyball at the sandbar and had a snorkeling encounter with a turtle. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers, and our guide, Yuki, along with my son, Riza, helped create wonderful memories.

長男の結婚式でオアフ島に来てての参加でした。サンドバーでのバレーボール、シュノーケリングでカメとの出会い。美味しいハンバーガー、ガイドのユキさん、息子のライザ君、楽しい思い出作りができました。

This was an excellent ride and tour! Wish we would have booked it for longer than one hour. FUN had by all!!!

We have to admit, we were really scared at first, but both ziplining and ATV were super fun and the guides were pretty nice and good.

Our wedding party went as a group and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! Good lunch and great crew with phenomenal snorkeling. We swam with large sea turtles and it was amazing!
