All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I have always been plagued by rain during my previous two visits, but this time I finally enjoyed the beautiful blue of Lanikai Beach. The kayaking was pleasant, and the staff was friendly, which made me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.

これまで２回は常に雨にたたられてましたが、
今回はやっと晴れてラニカイビーチのキレイなブルーを堪能出来ました。カヤックも気持ち良くて
スタッフもフレンドリーで満足でした。
また参加したいですね。

The weather was bad, and the sandbar was cold and uncomfortable.

I was lured by the word "BBQ" and didn't pay much attention, but it felt more like eating hamburgers on a boat with everyone rather than a BBQ (laughs).

After snorkeling, we just returned and disbanded, so changing clothes was either in the restroom or right on the bus. It might be a good idea to bring a little extra towel!

天気が悪く
サンドバーは寒くて
辛かったです。

BBQという言葉に誘われてて
よく見てなかったのですが
BBQというよりは
ハンバーガーを船で
みんなで食べる感じでした（笑）

シュノーケルやったあとは
戻ってそのまま解散になるので
着替えはトイレかそのままバスに
乗る感じだったので
タオルは少し多めのがいいかも
しれません！

The day before was a heavy rain, so I participated with a gloomy mood, but on the day itself, the weather was beautifully clear, almost like a lie. The way the foreign male guide on the bus got everyone excited was amazing. It was definitely worth participating. The sandbar and snorkeling were incredibly fun. The lunch was delicious, just as rumored. It was a perfect day without any complaints. I definitely want to participate again next time.

前日が大雨だったのでお通夜な気分で参加したのですが、当日は嘘のように晴れ渡ったお天気。行きのバスの外国人男性ガイドさんの盛り上げ方は凄かったです。参加して間違いなし。サンドバーも、シュノーケリングも凄く楽しかった。お昼も評判通り美味しかった。文句なしの一日です。また今度も是非参加したいです。

The beautiful sea and sky! The staff were friendly and very kind. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see about three turtles! I was lucky enough to swim right next to a sea turtle while snorkeling!

綺麗な海と空！またスタッフさんも気さくでとても親切でした。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。ウミガメウォッチングでは3匹ほど見ることができました！シュノーケリング中に運良くすぐ側でウミガメと泳ぐことができました！

I debated between the 1-hour course and the 2-hour course, but choosing the 2-hour course was the right decision!
Our group of six, including us, raced through the great outdoors, navigating bumpy roads, puddles, and even a little stream.
We had a lot of fun taking photos along the way and eating mangoes.
We got caught in a heavy downpour and ended up soaking wet, but that became a great memory.
When you get caught in a downpour, even your underwear can get wet, so it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes just in case...

1時間コースと2時間コース悩みましたが、2時間コースで正解！
私達を含め6人グループで大自然を疾走、でこぼこ道はもちろん、水たまりやちょっとした小川などなど
途中で写真を撮ってもらったりマンゴーを食べたり、とても楽しかったです。
土砂降りスコールにあいびしょぬれになりましたが、それも良い思い出です。
スコールにあうと下着のパンツまで濡れてしまうほどなので、念の為、着替え持って行った方が良いかも…

It was an amazing experience, our tour guide was great she was very friendly and attentive. My husband and I were able to capture beautiful pictures. Next time we visit we will be doing this again.

We had a great time on our 2 hour ATV trip! The ranch was beautiful and it was so cool to see where all of the big films were made and just the natural beauty of the valleys. Our guide was amazing! He was informative, creative, always kept us laughing and was always willing to take pictures. Overall an awesome experience and would highly recommend it!

Fun day At Captain Bob's . Amazing experience to see the mantas and turtles . Good bbq lunch

I signed up for this tour on my first trip to Hawaii. I wanted to see sea turtles so badly... My wish came true, and I was able to see the sea turtles and even swim with them. It was a truly precious experience.

初のハワイでこのツアーに申し込みしました。ウミガメに会いたくて会いたくて…
願いが叶いウミガメを見ることと、一緒に泳ぐことまでできました。
とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。

I went to the location by rental car and participated without any issues, enjoying the full hour of horseback riding as planned.

レンタカーで現地へ行って参加しましたが特に問題もなくたっぷり予定の1時間乗馬を楽しむことができました。

I'm so glad I was able to participate! My family was also thrilled. The hamburgers were delicious, and we got to see sea turtles while snorkeling! It was the best!!

Since we were staying at a condominium in Kailua, we drove there with a rental car without a shuttle. Unlike tour participants, when we arrived, there was no one around, so I was worried about whether we were at the right meeting spot and which boat to take until the boat arrived... I wish there had been some kind of landmark.

However, it felt like we were the only family there for the local gathering, apart from the tour guests...

参加できてとても良かったです！家族も大喜びでした。
ハンバーガーも美味しくいただき、シュノーケリングもホヌも見れたし！最高！！

カイルアのコンドミニアムに滞在していましたので、送迎無しで現地にレンタカーで行きましたが、ツアー参加とは違い、現地について誰もいない状況だったために、集合場所がこの場所で合っているのか？どの船だ？と現地到着時から船が来るまでの感、心配でしたが・・・。何か目印があると良いなと思いました。

しかし、ツアー客以外で、現地集合家族は私たちだけだったような気がしますが・・・。

We participated as a family. This was my second time attending, and I had a great time. My parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, also enjoyed going into the sea after a long time. There were other families with small children as well, making it an enjoyable experience that transcended generations.

家族で参加しました。私は２回目の参加でしたがとても楽しめました。
一緒に行った還暦を迎える両親も久しぶりに海に入り楽しかったそうです。
他にも小さなお子さんを連れたご家族などもおり、世代を越えて楽しめるactiveでした。

The main purpose of our trip to Hawaii with my spouse and our elementary and middle school children was the sandbar! It was amazing! Everything was perfect, from the guide to the lunch to the scenery! It was our first experience with snorkeling, and we had a great time in the beautiful ocean!

夫婦と小学生と中学生の子供とのハワイ旅行一番の目的がサンドバーでした！最高！ガイドのお姉さんもランチも景色もすべて最高です！シュノーケルもはじめての体験でしたが、綺麗な海で楽しめました♪

We had a great time and our ATV tour guide (Thomas) went well above and beyond. He was so knowledgeable of the history of the Ranch. It was clear that he loves his job and enjoys showing all the tourists why the Hawaiian islands are the only place to visit. Would highly recommend

I gave a present to a family member. When I asked for their impressions, they said it was unfortunately rainy that day (not a downpour or a passing shower, but a light rain that kept falling continuously) and it was so cold that they were shivering the whole time. They mentioned that they could only see the turtles for a brief moment... I thought it would be nice if there were special courses or activities that could be enjoyed even on rainy days.

身内にプレゼントしました。
感想を聞いたところ、当日は生憎の雨模様で（スコールや通り雨ではなく、小雨がずーーーっと降ってました）寒すぎて、ずっと震えていたそうです。
亀も一瞬だけしか見えなかったそうな…
雨の日でも楽しめるような、特別コース等があると良いなあと思いました。

It was a wonderful tour. I wish it had been a little shallower, though. The hamburger was delicious too! The conductor was great as well. Thank you!

素晴らしいツアーでした。もう少し浅かったら良かったけど。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ～。コンダクターも良かったです。ありがとう。

I decided to go on a trip to Hawaii and thought, "I want to do something adventurous!" That's when I remembered Kualoa Ranch, which I had been curious about after seeing photos on social media. Kualoa Ranch is a theme park that offers activities in the mountains, valleys, and ocean, and its stunning landscapes, often chosen as filming locations for movies like "Jurassic Park," give it a sense of hidden paradise.

While horseback riding and ATV tours looked interesting, I decided to try ziplining this time.

**Schedule**
11:30 AM - Arrive at the visitor center and check in
12:30 PM - Gather → Drive to the zipline base
1:50 PM - Briefing and gear fitting
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM - Ziplining
4:00 PM - Depart Kualoa Ranch
5:00 PM - Arrive at the hotel

After arriving around 11:30 AM and checking in, we took a break until the gathering time. The visitor center has a cafeteria where you can enjoy light snacks and buffet dishes (like stir-fried meat) or buy souvenirs. They even sell vacuum-packed beef that seems to be from the ranch, which is relatively cheap for Hawaii's high prices. If you're planning a barbecue, I thought it would be a great buy.

During the drive from the visitor center to the zipline base, the driver explained the features of the ranch and which movies were filmed there (in English). Along the way, we saw people riding ATVs and horseback riding, but with ziplining, you can venture deeper into the valleys, making the journey itself a bit of an adventure.

I participated with my sister, and there were eight of us in the group, mostly in their 40s and 50s, along with three staff members. All explanations were in English, but there was also a Japanese explanation video available for viewing on an iPad.

The harness you wear has a substantial weight, and the path from the base to the zipline area is a bit of a mountain trail, which might be tough for those with weak legs. However, gliding through the magnificent scenery is simply exhilarating. Since there isn't much elevation difference between the starting and ending points of the zipline, you don't experience that nauseating feeling like you do on roller coasters or bungee jumps.

I was a bit anxious, wondering if just sliding down would be fun, but the staff encouraged us to try various poses and even take chances for fun.

They took photos of us with cameras set up along the way (this photo-taking became a challenge to see how funny of a pose we could strike at the right moment), and you can purchase them at the end (I think it was around $30). It was a surprisingly enjoyable time. Next time, I want to try an activity that overlooks Kualoa Ranch from the sea.

**Notes**
- It might be good to have insect repellent.
- You can get sunburned even in the mountains, so sunscreen is essential (especially on the back of your neck).

ハワイ旅行が決まって、「何かアドベンチャー感のあるアクティビティをやりたい！」
と思っていたところ、SNSで写真を見て気になっていたクアロア牧場を思い出しました。
クアロア牧場は山、谷、海のアクティビティを揃えたテーマパークで、映画「ジュラシックパーク」などのロケ地に選ばれるなど、秘境感のある景観が魅力です。
乗馬やバギーも面白そうだったのですが、今回はジップラインに挑戦することにしました。

【スケジュール】
11:30　ビジターセンター到着・チェックイン
12:30　集合→ジップライン・ベースに車で移動
13:50　説明・装備装着
14:00-15:30　ジップライン
16:00　クアロア牧場出発
17:00　ホテル着

11:30頃到着してチェックインした後は、集合時間まで休憩。
ビジターセンターにはカフェテリアがあって、軽食やビュッフェ料理（お肉をいためたものとか）をいただいたり、お土産を買ったりすることができます。牧場産と思しき真空パックの牛肉（塊）なんかも売っていて、物価の高いハワイにしては安い。バーベキューを予定しているなら、ぜひ買いたいなーと思いました。
ビジターセンターからジップライン・ベースまでの移動中は、ドライバーさんが牧場内の特徴やどんな映画のロケに使われたのか説明（英語）してくれます。途中、バギーや乗馬をしている人たちの姿も見えましたが、ジップラインの場合はさらに谷の奥の方まで入っていけるようで、移動自体もちょっとした冒険でした。
私は妹と二人で参加したのですが、40代・50代の方中心に8名のパーティーで行動。
そこに3名のスタッフがついてくれます。説明はすべて英語ですが、日本語による説明動画も用意されています（ipadで閲覧）。

身に着けるハーネスは重量感がありますし、ベースからジップラインの場所まではちょっとした山道になっていて、足腰が弱い人は辛いかもしれませんが、風を切って壮大な景色の中を滑り降りるのはただただ爽快。
ジップラインの起点と着地点でそれほど高低差がないので、ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプのように落ちるような気持ち悪い感覚はありません。
「ひたすら滑り降りるだけで面白いんだろうか…」と不安でしたが、さまざまなポーズに挑戦したり、運だめしに挑戦したりとスタッフの方々が盛り上げてくれます。

滑り降りる途中に設置されたカメラで写真を撮ってくれて（この撮影で、タイミングよく、いかに面白いポーズをとれるかがひとつのチャレンジでもある）、最期に購入することもできます。（たしか30ドルくらい）
想像以上に楽しいひと時でした。
今度は海からクアロア牧場を望むアクティビティに挑戦したいです。

【メモ】
・虫よけスプレーがあるとよいかも。
・山でも結構日に焼けるので、日焼け止め必須（特に首の後ろ）。

It was my first experience with a buggy. Before the experience, I watched a Japanese DVD and then drove on a test course. If there were no issues, we went straight to the main course. Driving the buggy through the great outdoors gave me an indescribably amazing feeling. Along the way, we stopped at a photo spot to take pictures. I want to ride the buggy again!

初めてバギー体験でした。体験前に日本語のDVDを見てからテストコースを走行。問題なければそのままコースへ。大自然の中をバギーで走って何とも言えない最高の気分を味わえます。途中で写真撮影スポットで写真を撮ります。もう一度バギー乗りたいです。

We traveled from the ranch to the zipline base camp by a dedicated bus. There are no windows, so it feels open, but you might get wet if it rains. Along the way, there are also guides about movie filming locations, making the journey enjoyable.

In the group we participated with, we were the only Japanese. The explanations were entirely in English, but they show a Japanese video for the zipline instructions, so you can rest assured.

When we participated, there was a heavy rain, but we went ahead anyway! It cleared up at times, but we had a valuable zipline experience in the downpour. During the transfers between points, we crossed suspension bridges, adding to the fun. I would love to participate again when the weather is nice.

There is a service that takes photos at each point. You receive the data, and the prices are:
1 photo for $15,
3 photos for $35,
all data for $60.
We only purchased 3 photos.

An email is sent right away, allowing you to reminisce about the experience.

What do you all think?

牧場から、専用バスで、ジップラインのベースキャンプ地まで、移動。窓がないので、開放的ですが、雨の時は、濡れちゃいます。途中、映画のロケ地の案内なんかもあり、道中も楽しいです。
参加したグループに、日本人は、私たちだけでした。
終始、英語の説明ですが、ジップラインの説明は、日本語の動画を見せてくれますので、ご安心を。
私たちが、参加したときは、豪雨でしたが、強行しました！途中晴れたりもしましたが、豪雨の中での、貴重なジップライン経験ができました。
ポイントとの移動時には、吊り橋なんかも通り、楽しみながら、参加してきました。晴れている時に、また参加してみたいです。

各ポイントで、写真撮ってくれるサービスがあります。
データで、もらいますが、
1枚 15ドル
3枚 35ドル
データすべて 60ドルです。
私たちは、3枚だけ購入しました。

すぐに、メールが送られてくるので、思い出でにひたれます。

みなさん、いかがでしょうか？？

I'm glad I was able to go to Sandbar, but I hardly saw any fish while snorkeling. If you're thinking, "I'll just snorkel here, so I don't need to go anywhere else!" it's better to go somewhere else. The crew members were all friendly, and I had a great time.

サンドバーは実際行けてよかったですが、シュノーケルはほぼ魚みれず。シュノーケルここでやるから、他はいいや！って思ってる方は別でいったほうがよいです。船員さんはみな気さくで楽しめました。

This is my third time at Sandbar, and it's the first time the weather has been bad and cold. There's a world of difference between good and bad weather, but the staff were very attentive, and I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, so it was a decent tour overall.

サンドバー三回目で天気が悪く寒いのは初めてです。天気が良いのと悪いのでは天と地の差が有りますがスタッフが色々気を使ってくれシュノーケルでは亀も見れたのでまずまずのツァーでした。

I was very satisfied with the transportation, crew, and tour content. The crew was polite and helped us when we were in trouble. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to take lots of photos and practice snorkeling. The boat hardly rocked, and I didn't feel seasick.

The handmade hamburger for lunch was delicious! The only regret I have is that my shoulders got really sunburned, possibly because the sunscreen was too thin (laughs). This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!

送迎、乗組員、ツアー内容ともに大満足です。
乗組員も丁寧で、困っていると助けてくれたり、
サンドバーでの時間もたっぷりあり、写真をたくさんとったり、シュノーケルの練習をしたりできました。
船もほとんど揺れず、酔いはありませんでした。

お昼のハンバーガーが手作りで、お肉が美味しかったです‼
日焼け止めが薄かったのか、肩がめちゃくちゃ焼けたことだけが後悔です(笑)
またハワイにいったら参加したいツアーです‼

Kualoa Ranch / One-hour ATV course was enjoyable and meaningful. Women can also have fun (if they have the determination).

クアロア牧場 / 四輪バギー1時間コース は、有意義に楽しめました。
女性も、楽しめます(根性が、あれば)

This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.

The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.

We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.

It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.

初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。

サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。

移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。

移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^

My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.

11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです

As soon as I arrived, it was raining, and I felt a bit chilly and anxious, but the staff were very kind, which made me feel at ease. I also found several turtles, making it a very fulfilling day.

着いたとたんに雨で、肌寒く不安でしたが、スタッフの方も、とても親切で安心して過ごせました。
亀も何匹もみつけて、とても充実した１日でした。

The Japanese staff were very helpful, and their explanations were really easy to understand. They even made jokes, which added some laughter to the tour, and I was very satisfied! However, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, which was different from what I had imagined. It's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it, but I was a little disappointed about that... Still, I had a great time! Next time, I want to join the tour when the tide is low!

日本人のスタッフさんもいて、説明もすごく分かりやすかった。ジョークとかも言いながらで笑いもありツアーは大満足です！
ただサンドバーが潮が満ちてて、イメージと違った。自然現象のだから仕方ないことだけど、そこだけちょっと残念だったな、、、
でもすごく楽しかったです(^^)今度は潮が満ちてない時を狙ってツアーに参加したいです(*´꒳`*)

A must do. The movie ATV tour is great, so many movies and beautiful scenery. Great, friendly staff.

This is the second time I've booked the exact same tour, and I recommended it to a family who was going for the first time, so we participated together! This time, the water was shallow and it was sunny, so we were able to see a different sandbar compared to last time☆ Next time, I want to see it when the water is completely low♡

今回まったく同じツアーを申し込んだのは2回目で、初めて行くファミリーにオススメして一緒に参加しました！今回の水の深さは浅くてしかも晴れていたので前回とはまた違ったサンドバーを見ることができました☆ 今度は完全に水がひいてる状態を見てみたいです♡

I was able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was very beautiful. I didn't expect much from the sandwiches, but they were surprisingly delicious.

I was prepared for the cold, so I brought a thick bath towel and a jacket.

ウミガメも見られたし、サンドバーはとても綺麗でした。
サンドイッチも期待していませんでしたが意外と美味しかったです。

寒いのは覚悟していたので厚手のバスタオルと上着を持っていきました。
