All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

Staff were super friendly, fun and down to earth.

The boat and sandbar experience was 10/10! I highly highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. We also paid an extra $20 USD per person for a banana boat ride and that was probably the highlight of the experience. It was SO FUN! The staff was incredible and so nice and fun. There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though). Such a fun time and the highlight of my trip.

It's relaxing to ride a horse on the vast grounds. By the end, it feels so comfortable that you might just fall asleep. I recommend taking a longer time as it allows you to cover more area.

広大な敷地を馬に乗ってのんびり
最後には心地良くてそのまま眠りそうに
時間長い方が範囲も広くておすすめです

I received detailed explanations and rules in Japanese, and even though most of the participants were from Europe and America, I felt comfortable joining in! The water temperature was still a bit chilly, but the sunny weather made it pleasant to spend time there! The crew also spoke to us in Japanese, which was heartwarming! I plan to visit again right in the middle of the season next time!

日本語で細かい説明やルールなどお話ししていただき、他の参加者はほとんど欧米の方でしたがその中でも安心して参加できました！
まだ水温が若干冷たかったのですが、晴れてくれたので気持ちよく過ごせました！クルーの方も日本語で話しかけてくれてほんわかしました！次回はシーズン真っ只中に訪れたいと思います！

The staff was amazing. So welcoming and so fun. They made us feel like family and took care of us the whole time. I highly recommend.

It was also a filming location for movies like Jurassic Park, so I felt like I was in the movie. There is a Japanese version of the buggy operation instruction video, so it's reassuring. Just bring your passport and Japanese driver's license, and you're good to go!

ジュラシックパーク等の撮影ロケにもなっていて映画の中にいる気分でした。
バギーの操作説明ビデオは日本語バージョンもあるので安心。
パスポートと日本の運転免許証あればOK！

The service and explanations provided by all the staff were excellent, as they spoke with each customer individually to understand their needs and desires until we disembarked. It was very reassuring to have a Japanese female staff member who could communicate in Japanese. The lunch burgers and drinks were good! After that, the sea turtle watching was well-timed and satisfying! Unfortunately, the snorkeling included with the coral reef watching was affected by sudden rain, bad weather, and cold temperatures, but there was still plenty of time for watching, and the hot drinks provided on board afterward were great. I was initially worried about language barriers with the multinational group on the small boat, but all the staff made it enjoyable! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!

スタッフ全員の接客と説明、お客様1人ずつと話をして船を降りる時まで何が欲しいのか　何をしたいのか等　細やかなサービスは最高でした！日本人女性のスタッフが日本語で対応していただけたのもとても安心できました。ランチのハンバーガーと飲み物もgood！その後　海亀ウォッチングもgood timingで満足！残念ながらシュノーケリングを付けての珊瑚礁ウォッチングでは突然のシャワーと悪天候と寒さでしたが、充分ウォッチング時間もあり　その後船上でのホットドリンク等の対応もよかったです。
やはり狭い船上の中　多国籍の人と言葉の心配をしましたが　スタッフ全員に楽しませてもらいました！　このツアーを選んで正解でした！

After arriving at Kualoa Ranch, there were some parts of the explanation that were a bit unclear. The horseback riding experience varies depending on the personality of the horse, so compatibility can differ between people and horses. I recommend studying how to ride and handle horses in advance!

説明は全部英語でクアロアランチ到着後、多少説明がわかりづらい部分はありました。乗馬体験は、馬によっても性格も違うので相性が合うかは人と馬によりけりです。馬の乗り方や馬の操り方を事前に勉強しておくことをオススメします！

This was an amazing ride. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and bent over backwards to ensure everyone had a great time. The trip was perfect. You got sandbar time, turtle time and snorkeling.

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

I was a bit apprehensive after reading reviews about horses acting up, but the horse I rode was very calm and didn't act out at all! All the other horses were also well-behaved and adorable!

The guide spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't fully understand since I'm still studying the language. However, the guide communicated safety checks in Japanese during the ride, which made me feel very reassured! I hope to improve my English soon so I can participate again!

口コミで馬が暴れて大変だったなど等を見て少し身構えていましたが、とても大人しい馬で暴れるなどは全くありませんでした！他の方の馬も暴れることなくどの馬もみんな可愛かったです！
ガイドは全て英語のため、英語勉強中の私にはまだ理解できませんでした、、
乗馬中の安全確認はガイドさんが日本語で話しかけてくれたのでとても安心感がありました！早く英語が出来るようになってからまた参加したいと思いました！

I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.

The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊

We participated as a couple. It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean, just a short distance from the port to the sandbar. The afternoon snorkeling was wonderful as we could enjoy the corals and many fish. The guides and staff who spoke Japanese were cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。サンドバーまで港からすぐで海の真ん中に立ってられるのが不思議でした。午後のシュノーケルでもサンゴやたくさんの魚を観賞できて素晴らしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんやスタッフの方々も明るく楽しめました。

All the years I've been coming to Oahu, I've never done anything like this excursion! Best money spent on a family outing. It was majestic! The live music was beautiful, the lunch was outstanding! The crew and captain were so friendly and really made you feel included and very welcome, like a trip out with old friends. I cannot say enough about how special and memorable this trip was. Core memories built! Thanks you so so much Kbos! Special shout out to Braddah From our hometown of Vallejo Ca.! Do yourself a favor and just go!

The boat ride to the sand bar was amazing , you get to view the beautiful bay of Kaneohe . The staff was amazing , they knew exactly how to welcome first timers , the food was so delicious, I’m not a hamburger dude but this hamburger was so delicious, it was served with my favorite pork and beans , great meal to hold you off through the tour .

I participated with my four grandchildren. We got completely covered in dust, but we thoroughly enjoyed the world of Jurassic Park in the vast nature.

4人の孫を連れて参加しました。全身埃だらけになりましてが広大な自然の中ジュラシックパークの世界を満喫できました。

At first, I wasn't sure what to do, but since it was a famous place and seemed interesting, I decided to participate. The buggy ride was amazing!

最初は、どうしようかなと思ったのですが、有名な場所であり、面白そうなので参加しました。
バギー最高でしたよ。

I was able to participate with peace of mind thanks to the shuttle service. The explanation was given in Japanese, so I understood it well. The pre-experience video was also in Japanese, which made it easy to follow. Above all, the horses are smart and adorable.

Horseback riding in nature is refreshing and healing.

I might have muscle soreness tomorrow! ^_^

送迎付きで安心して参加できました
説明は日本語の方がしてくれたので良くわかりました
体験前のビデオも日本語なので良くわかりました
なにしろ馬がお利口で可愛いです

自然の中での乗馬は気持ちよく癒されます

明日は筋肉痛になるかも^_^

Such a great experience for the kiddos. Fast and thrilling and lots of great stops through the ride.

Minnesota family. We do not like the food but good customer service

We took a bus to the zipline location. The driver shared stories about movie filming sites and legends associated with Kualoa Ranch. (Google Translate was really helpful!)

The activities are supported by guides, so there's no need to worry. You can manage with gestures as well.

It felt amazing to be surrounded by the peaceful nature. You can also enjoy a suspension bridge and a bit of hiking. There are ride photos available, which you can check and purchase at the waiting hut for about $20 each.

The friendly guide asked simple questions in English like, "What’s your favorite fruit?" and "What’s your favorite movie?" My elementary school daughter was a bit nervous about those questions, though! I would love to participate again.

ジップラインの場所までバスで移動。ドライバーさんが映画のロケ地やクアロアランチに伝わる伝説を話してくれます。（Google翻訳大活躍！）
アクティビティはガイドさんがサポートしてくれるので心配いりません。あとはジェスチャーでなんとかなります。

静かな大自然の中で最高に気持ち良かったです。
吊り橋やちょっとしたハイキングも楽しめます。
ライドショットがあり、待合の小屋で確認、購入出来ます。1枚20ドルくらい。
フレンドリーなガイドさんが「好きな果物はなに？」とか「好きな映画は？」とか簡単な英語で話しかけてくれますが、小学校の娘はその質問に緊張しておりました笑
また参加したいです。

It rained the day before, so there was no dust at all, and it was comfortable. It was fun to drive through the great outdoors, which is a rare experience. The instructor was kind, and the 2-hour tour flew by.

前日に雨が降り、全く砂埃がなくて、快適でした。
なかなか体験できない大自然の中を自分の運転で走り抜けるのは楽しかったです。
インストラクターも優しくて、2時間のツアーあっという間でした。

It was the best experience. The two-hour horseback riding was fulfilling, taking us from the ocean side of Kualoa Ranch through the plateau where Jurassic World was filmed. We formed a group of six, with the guide leading us in a single file. This time, we were in a group with two couples from America and Australia. Throughout the two hours, the guide moved to the front, the middle, and the back, carefully following each person. It was my first time riding for such a long duration, and I was nervous at first, but the guide's support allowed me to ride with peace of mind. At some point, I felt a connection with the horse, and I couldn't help but find it adorable. Before the ride, the guide mounted a horse and explained how to ride. (Japanese participants are shown a Japanese video without needing to request it.)

Due to age restrictions, I went ahead to Kualoa Ranch with my older child for horseback riding, and in the afternoon, I met up with my husband and younger child to enjoy the buggies. I saw reviews mentioning waiting for the return bus, so I arranged for transportation only for myself and my older child for the ride there, and we returned with a taxi that we had booked for the whole family. There were hamburgers and other items available at the shop. During horseback riding, you can only take drinks and a smartphone, but there is a locker available for $5 a day that allows for multiple entries and can hold about three backpacks.

最高の体験でした。
2時間の乗馬は、クアロアランチの海側からジュラシックワールドの撮影場所の台地を抜けて進むという内容で充実しました。6人でグループになり、ガイドが先導し１列で進んでいきます。今回はアメリカとオーストラリアから参加したカップル2組と一緒のグループになりました。ガイドは2時間の間、前に行ったり、真ん中に入ったり、最後尾についたり、一人一人丁寧にフォローしてくれました。長時間の乗馬は初めてで最初は緊張しましたが、ガイドのフォローで安心して乗ることが出来ました。途中から馬と少し心が通じた？気がして、馬が可愛くて仕方なかったです。乗馬前には、ガイドが馬に跨り、乗馬について説明してくれます。(日本人はリクエストしなくても日本語の動画を見せられます。)
年齢制限があるため、乗馬は上の子供と一足先にクアロアランチに向かい、午後は夫と下の子供と合流し、バギーを楽しみました。
帰りのバスの時間が待つという口コミを見たので、送迎は私と上の子だけ有りで行きのみ利用し、帰りは家族全員で予約していたタクシーで帰りました。食事はハンバーガーなどが売店にありました。乗馬時は飲み物とスマホくらいしか持って行けませんが、1日5ドルで何度でも出し入れできるロッカーがあり、リュック3個くらいは入ります。

The Angel's Sea was amazing. The scenery was beautiful, and the water was so clear that I could see fish swimming with the naked eye. I saw many turtles on the way to the sandbar, and during snorkeling, I encountered a turtle that came out from the rocks and was able to swim close to it, which was truly moving! The lunch with hamburgers grilled on the boat was incredibly delicious, and the kids were thrilled. The staff was friendly, and I had such a great time that I definitely want to go again!

天使の海は最高でした
景色はもちろん、海の透明度も高くて裸眼でお魚が泳いでる姿が見れるくらい綺麗でした。
亀はサンドバーに向かう時に沢山見れて、シュノーケリングの時も岩場から出てきた亀に遭遇し近くを一緒に泳ぐことが出来て感動しました♪
船上で焼いてくれたハンバーグを挟んで食べるランチは最高に美味しくて子ども達も大喜びでした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとても楽しくまた是非行きたいと思いました！！

I had always wanted to visit Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. I participated with my parents and my two children, aged 8 and 10. We chose a plan that included transportation, and since we stayed at the Embassy, we were picked up at the Sheraton. At that point, there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so it was reassuring even though we couldn't speak English. They also showed us a video in Japanese with important information before the experience.

We followed behind another guide on buggies, keeping about two buggies' distance. We stopped about three times along the way for explanations about the locations and to take photos. Everything during those stops was in English, so I thought it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English ( ; ; ).

I was a bit worried that my children might be scared of the buggies, but they were completely fine. The thrill of the bumpy roads and climbing hills excited them, and they were captivated by the stunning views of Kualoa. It was a memorable two hours.

ハワイで一度は行きたかったクアロアランチ。父母、8歳と10歳の子どもの4人で参加しました。
送迎付きプラン、エンバシー宿泊だったのでシェラトンでピックアップしてもらいました。その時点で日本語を話せるガイドさんがいるので、英語が話せなくても安心です。体験前の注意事項も、日本語のビデオを見せてくれます。
バギーは別のガイドさんの後ろを2台分くらいあけて付いて行きます。途中3回ほど降りて、その場所の説明や、写真を撮る時間がありました。そのあたりは全て英語なので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかっただろうなと思います（ ; ; ）
子どもがバギーを怖がるかと少し心配していましたが、全くそんなことはありませんでした。凸凹道や坂を登る多少のスリルに子どもたちは大興奮、クアロアの絶景に魅了され、心に残る2時間でした。

The hike up to the light house was epic! Beautiful! Glad we did it. The weather also cooperated so we were blessed with beautiful blue skies. Picture perfect!
Blow hole… wish we could have stayed longer. 10 minutes wasn’t enough to appreciate the sights.

I was disappointed with Mr. T, the guide for the Kaneohe Bay cruise package tour! He might be the same guide mentioned in someone else's experience on the Jurassic Park movie location tour.

カネオヘ湾クルーズパッケージツアーのガイドのMr.Tさんにゲンナリ！
どなたかが体験談に紹介されていたジュラシックか映画ロケ地巡りツアーでのガイドと同じかもです。
