All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

The Hawaiian music live performance on the cruise ship was delightful. There were various activities in the beautiful emerald sea, so I never got bored. We were also blessed with great weather, making it the best experience.

Additionally, I am grateful for the wonderful hospitality from all the staff.

行き帰りのクルーズ船の中もHawaiianミュージックLIVEが心地良かったです。
キレイなエメラルドの海でのアクティビティも色々あって、飽きる事もありませんでした。
良いお天気にも恵まれて、最高の体験でした。

また、スタッフの方皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく感謝をしています。

It rained a little, so I was worried about whether we could go, but it was fine! Some of the tour guides spoke Japanese. The guides (in English) were all very hospitable, always checking in with us, taking photos, and it was fun from start to finish.

雨が少し降ったので、走行できるか心配でしたが大丈夫でした！
ツアーガイドの方は日本語を話せる方もいらっしゃいました。ガイドの方々（英語）はホスピタリティに溢れる方ばかりでよく声をかけてくださり、写真撮ってくださったりと終始楽しかったです。

The sea was incredibly beautiful.
I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling.
I usually get motion sickness, but I didn't feel sick at all.
Be careful not to bump your knees on the coral.

すごく綺麗な海でした。
サップとカヌーとシュノーケリングができてすごく楽しかったです。
私はすごく乗り物酔いしますが、全く酔いません。
サンゴに膝をぶつけがちなので、気をつけてください。

The explanations were thorough, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable during the experience! They also shared great recommendations, and I'm glad I booked the tour!

初心者でも安心して体験できるように丁寧に説明いただきました！
おすすめポイントも教えていただき、ツアーを予約してよかったです！

I visited Sandbar six years ago, and I thought it was a tour where you could take pictures on the sand that appears at low tide. The staff were very accommodating, so if I had known that the sand wouldn't appear during the tour, I think I would have been satisfied.

6年前にサンドバーに行ったことがあるんですが、干潮のタイミングで砂地があらわれてそこで写真が撮れたので、そういうツアーだと思ってました。
スタッフさん達は対応もいいので、砂地があらわれることがないことを知ったうえでツアーに参加していたら満足だったんだと思います。

Riding horses at the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World was a dream come true! I was really looking forward to it. When the day finally arrived, I got to ride a horse, and my excitement was through the roof. As we slowly progressed, breathtaking views unfolded, and it felt like being in a movie!! I was thrilled; it really seemed like dinosaurs could appear at any moment! The two hours flew by, but by the end, my legs were shaking. It felt like I was using muscles I don't usually engage. I was able to take a lot of photos, and we got a lovely four-shot with my husband and the horse! (We'll receive them via AirDrop later.) The weather was great, and I truly had a wonderful time. I'm grateful to the horses and the staff who guided us!

ジュラシックパークやワールドのロケ地で乗馬だなんて夢のような体験だ！ととっても楽しみにしてました。いざ当日を迎え、お馬さんに乗せてもらい、ワクワクが止まりませんでした。ゆっくりゆっくり進むにつれて絶景が広がっていってもう映画の世界だ！！と興奮。本当に恐竜が出てきそうでした！2時間があっという間すぎましたが、終わった頃には脚がガクブル。普段使わない筋肉を使っていたようです。写真もたくさん撮れたし、主人とお馬さんとの４ショットも素敵に撮っていただきました！（あとでエアドロでいただけます）お天気も良く、本当に素敵な時間をすごせました。お馬さんや誘導してくださったスタッフさんに感謝です！

This is the second time we have taken this adventure, and we will definitely be back. You feel like it’s just you in this beautiful clear blue ocean surrounded by Hawaiian Mountains. Musicians on the boat ride were fabulous! Loved the whole experience!

Even with the chilly air that day, we had an absolute last. The crew was kind, attentive, lively and generally playful. The live band was amazing. We had a few hula dancers make an impromptu performance. It felt like a warm nd peaceful family get together. Highly recommend.

The horse was very gentle, and it felt like it had been trained on the route and walking speed, so even though it was my first time, I was able to ride it well. I was disappointed that there were no movie filming locations to visit along the riding route.

お馬さんはとっても大人しくて、ルートの進み方や歩くスピードなど教え込まれてる感じで、初めてでしたが乗りこなせました。乗馬ルートに映画の撮影場所の見学が無くて残念でした。

I picked a full day with Lunch, the lunch was good, the snorkel on secret island was amazing lots of fishes to see, some good activities too. Though I would recommend half a day if you are not in a large as many activities require a lot of people to make it fun.

As a tourist, I was able to enjoy beautiful scenery at places that required joining a tour. I also saw plenty of sea turtles and fish. The price was a bit high, but I had a great time throughout, the lunch was delicious, and overall, I’m glad I participated!

観光客としてはツアーに参加しないと行けない場所で綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。ウミガメやお魚もいっぱい見れました。値段は少し高いですが、終始楽しく過ごすことができ、お昼ご飯も美味しく、総合的に参加して良かったです！

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

It was a very enjoyable experience, just as the reviews said. I recommend participating in clothes that you don't mind getting sandy.

口コミの通りとても楽しい体験でした。
本当に砂砂になりますので、捨てても良い服での参加をオススメいたします。

Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

It was very large in scale, and it felt great to see both the ocean and the green mountains. There were several spots where we could stop to take photos and switch drivers. When we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, there was a Japanese staff member who explained everything very politely, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries. I was a bit concerned after reading reviews about long wait times, but I didn't feel that way at all. After the activities, we had some time to enjoy a meal as well. However, it was crowded and took a while, so I recommend going early after the activities. It was such a wonderful experience that I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii next time.

非常にスケールが大きく、海も山の緑も見られて気持ちが良かったです。何ヶ所かスポットがあり、そこで止まって写真を撮ったり運転を交代することができました。
クアロアランチに到着すると日本人のスタッフさんがいて、とても丁寧に説明して下さったので何も不安なく楽しむことができました。
待ち時間が長い等の口コミを見て少し心配していましたが、あまりそのようには感じなかったです。
アクティビティ終了後に時間があったのでお食事もいただくことができました。ただ混雑していて時間がかかったのでアクティビティ終了後に早めに行くことをおすすめします。
またハワイに行くことがあれば次回も参加したいほど素晴らしい体験でした。

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

Enjoyed the tour and all the sites. Nice way to tour with your family. Next time we think we’d like to try the bus tour.

Before the pandemic, I participated in a different experience plan, and this was my second time joining. There were hardly any Japanese participants, and the staff were engaging with the participants, asking where they were from. I was nervous when it was our turn, but even though I could hardly speak any English, I managed to have a conversation. The explanations were all in English, so I couldn't take notes, but I didn't have any difficulties. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. There was one Japanese staff member at the information center, which was helpful. You can take photos at each location before participating and purchase them before leaving. It was $20. Since it's a popular option, I think it's better to make a reservation before departure. I'm glad I participated.

コロナ前に別の体験プランに参加し今回2回目の参加でした。参加者に日本人はほとんどいなくスタッフさんが参加者にどこから来たの？とか順番に話しかけていてドキドキしながら私たちの番になりほとんど英語は話せませんが何とか会話が出来ました。説明は全部英語なので内容は書き取りできませんが不自由はなかったです。ウミガメに出会えて感激しました。案内所に日本人スタッフが一人いるので助かりました。参加前にそれぞれの場所で写真を撮り帰る前に購入できます。20💲でした。人気なオプションなので出発前に予約したほうがいいと思います。参加して良かったです。

You can enjoy breathtaking views for a full two hours, feeling like you're on an attraction. Hawaii offers not just the ocean, but also mountains to explore. I highly recommend experiencing it!

2時間たっぷりアトラクションのような感覚で絶景が楽しめます。
ハワイは海だけじゃない、山も楽しめます。
ぜひ体験をおすすめします！

The only tour I booked on my solo trip and got the most out of the water related activities in the span of less than a day. Totally worth it to book and also get lunch included with the tour. Learned so much about respecting the reef, team focused sandbar volleyball and the joy of watching the turtles swimming.

I wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this 2-hour horseback riding course. Actually, I used to attend a riding club over 10 years ago, but I quit because I was scared of galloping. This time, since I was just walking slowly on horseback in the great outdoors, I felt completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed riding again after a long time. It had been several years since I last rode a horse (I rode a few years ago in Hokkaido), so it took me a little time to regain my sense of balance at first, but after a while, I remembered the feeling and was able to enjoy the scenery. Just before we mounted the horses, there was a heavy downpour, and I was wondering what would happen, but fortunately, we didn't get rained on at all during the ride. It was also pleasantly cool, not too hot, and a bit cloudy, which made for perfect riding weather.

ハワイで乗馬したいと思い、こちらを申し込みました。2時間の乗馬コースです。実は、10年以上前まで乗馬クラブに通っていたのですが、駆け足がこわまなって辞めてしまった経験があります。今回は、馬に乗って大自然の中をゆっくり歩くだけなので、まったく怖くなく、久しぶりの乗馬を堪能できました。そもそも馬に乗るのが数年ぶり(北海道で何年か前にのっこたとがある)でしたので、最初はちょっと感覚を取り戻すのに時間がかかりましたが、途中から感覚を思い出し、それからは景色を堪能できました。乗る少し前に激しいスコールがあり、どうなるかと思いましたが、運よく乗馬中は、まったく雨に降られることなく、かといって暑すぎずに曇り気味だったので涼しくてちょうどよかったです。

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

As mentioned in other reviews, the sand dust was quite intense, but I was able to fully enjoy the vast scenery!! Just after returning home, Jurassic Park was airing on TV, so I was able to enjoy the movie even after my trip!

他の人のレビューにもあるように砂ぼこりがすごかったけど、広大な景色を存分に楽しめました！！
ちょうど帰国後にジェラシックパークがテレビで放映されていたので、帰国後も映画を観て楽しむことができました！

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

After about an hour on the bus from the meeting point, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Upon arrival, we gathered on the deck in front of the building entrance. The reception areas and schedules for each course were explained in English. Shortly after, our names were called, and we received a voucher detailing the activity's reception time, start time, and the return bus schedule. The reception time was strict, and they wouldn't accept us early. While shoulder bags and items hanging around the neck were not allowed, smartphones were permitted. Only still photos could be taken; videos were not allowed. However, if a GoPro was secured to the body and not held in hand, it was fine. For small personal items and water bottles, we could borrow a small bag to hang on the saddle, so anything that fit in there could be brought along.

The course offered stunning views of the ocean after passing through the forest, but I was most looking forward to the Jurassic Park filming location, which had a vast grassy valley. Unfortunately, the path to it was under maintenance, and our time was shortened by 30 minutes, resulting in a 25% refund later. My first horseback riding experience was fun, but my backside became sore, and the pain lingered for three days. (laughs) Still, it's a shame I couldn't see the valley, so I would like to try again.

集合場所からバスに揺られて約1時間でクアロアランチに到着しました。到着後、建物入口前にあるデッキに一旦集合。各コースごとの受付場所やスケジュールなどが英語で説明されます。程なくして名前が呼ばれ、アクティビティの受付時間と開始時間、帰りのバスの時間などが記されたバウチャーが手渡されました。受付時間は正確で早めに申し出ても時間にならないと受付てくれませんでした。ショルダーバックや首からぶら下げる物はダメですが、スマホは持参OKです。撮影は静止画のみで動画はダメだそうです。しかしGoProは身体に固定出来て手で持たなければ大丈夫でした。身の回りの小物やペットボトルは鞍に掛ける小物入れバックが借りれるのでそれに入る物であれば持参出来ました。
コースは林間を抜けると海が見えて来て素晴らしい景色のコースでしたが、1番楽しみにしていたジュラシックパークのロケ地で草原が広がる谷には途中の道が整備中で行く事が出来ず、時間も30分短縮されたため後から25%の返金がありました。初めての乗馬は楽しかったけどお尻が痛くなり、痛みは3日間尾を引きました。（笑）
それでも谷が見れなかったのは残念なのでまたリベンジしたいと思います。

I chose the banana boat and bumper tube plan! The bumper tube was especially fun! I'm glad I got to see sea turtles too!

バナナボートとバンパーチューブのプランにしました！バンパーチューブが特に楽しかった！海亀にも会えてよかった！
