When I arrived at Kualoa Ranch by bus, it was drizzling, and at times it got stronger, so I was worried about whether we could enjoy the experience. However, after borrowing a raincoat, it cleared up and I was able to comfortably participate in the tour!
There was one instructor and about six participants, including myself, and we rode horses for about an hour and a half. We were able to enjoy the vast nature while visiting the filming locations of movies. The horses were very well-behaved and participated in the tour calmly, mostly without needing much direction from us.
The tour was conducted in English. Before participating, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so they confirmed the meeting place and time for me, allowing me to join without any trouble or confusion!
After the horseback riding, we had some time before the return bus, so I looked at souvenirs and bought some drinks and ice cream to enjoy.
バスでクアロアランチに着いた時はパラパラ雨が降っていて、時に強くなることがあったので体験ができるか心配していました。カッパを貸してもらって出発後は晴れて来て、快適にツアーに参加できました!
インストラクターさん1人と、私含め6名の参加者と約1時間半ほど?乗馬をしました。
映画の舞台を巡りつつ、広大な自然に癒されました。
お馬さんもとてもお利口で、ほとんどこちらの操作?なしでも一列で並んで穏やかにツアーに参加できました。
ツアー中は英語での参加でした。
参加前は日本語対応のスタッフもいてくれたので、集合場所や時間を確認して教えてくださり、困ったり迷わず参加することができました!
乗馬後帰りのバスまでに時間があったので、お土産を見たり、飲み物とアイスを買って食べたりしました。

I chose the bicycle option.
I went shopping in Kailua Town, then returned to the shop to change and went to Kailua Beach for bodyboarding.
I rode my bike to Lanikai Beach to take photos.
At the shop, I was able to rent a cooler bag, chairs, and a bodyboard, so it was comfortable at the beach.
However, even though the beach is close, it was a bit difficult to carry everything, so it's better to keep your belongings to a minimum.
I had a very enjoyable time.
The staff were also kind.

I was worried about being able to stand-up paddleboard (SUP) due to the high waves from the strong wind warning, but since there was a river, I was able to enjoy it on calm waters. I had a full day of activities including a loco moco lunch, snorkeling in Lanikai, and bodyboarding. I even encountered a honu (sea turtle)!

We started with a total of about 12 people from Hyatt. It was easy to get to the top of the hill by car. The bicycles have brakes on the handlebars, just like in Japan, so if you're used to riding, it's a breeze. An instructor led the way at the front, and a van driven by another staff member followed us at the back, which was reassuring. We stopped at scenic spots along the way to take photos. The views of Waikiki and the west side were both very beautiful. Although the details mentioned snacks and mineral water would be included, those were not provided. Our family had brought water, so it wasn't a problem.
Thank you! I loved this experience.
ハイアットから乗り合わせた総勢12名?ぐらいでスタート。
丘の上まで車なのでらくらく。
自転車も日本と同じで手のところにブレーキがあり、自転車に乗り慣れていたら余裕。

Let me start by saying this is a must do when visiting o’ahu. The views from the sandbar are incredible. I’m 4’10” and I think the water at the sandbar come up to my waistline. It took us about 40 minutes to paddle out to it because I’m not the most athletic. Lol
The kayak tour did include a life jacket. We rented a dry bag and an anchor for $5. And anchor is a must if you want to hang out at the sandbar or snorkel at one of the reefs.
Speaking of reefs, what an experience! I saw plenty of beautiful fish and turtles. “Park” your kayak on the sandy area and do not step on the coral. They are very sensitive. If you park up by the corals, you’ll see plenty of fish and turtles popping in and out.
The staff was friendly and informative. They gave us the best route to be able to go to the sandbar and the reefs. We followed instructions and did exactly as we were told as everyone should.
You’ll have a great time if you follow the rules and respect the ocean and its animals!
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review and feedback! We really appreciate that. First of all I am so happy to hear that our staff treated you well and gave you good info that hopefully contributed to your having a great time. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the feedback about listening to and following our staff's instructions. Thank you so much for that! I also cannot stress enough how much we appreciate your feedback regarding only being in the sand and never stepping on coral. This is such important info for everybody to be aware of, so I really hope everybody takes the time to read your review specifically. It is really, really good. Stoked to hear that it sounds like you had a great overall experience and that you consider this a 'must do' on O'ahu. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

The driver had a Japanese driver's license, and I, sitting in the passenger seat, had a copy of my passport, but it wasn't necessary. Also, wearing long pants wasn't required. There was a Japanese-speaking staff member who gathered Japanese speakers and provided an explanation in Japanese. After that, we split into groups for horseback riding, location tours, and buggies, all conducted in English. As everyone mentioned in their reviews, the sand and dust get on your face and clothes, but it's all part of the fun! I wore a mask for infection control, but I noticed some people bought scarves from the Kualoa Ranch shop to wrap around their mouths, which I thought was a good idea. We stopped at about three locations where the staff explained various things, but I couldn't understand the guide's content due to the language barrier, which was disappointing. However, I think driving myself was enjoyable. We passed through several areas with standing water, going slowly to avoid splashing or intentionally driving in quickly, getting the inside of the car soaked. Overall, the breathtaking natural views that you can't see in Japan and the fun of driving a buggy that you can't experience in Japan were amazing!
運転する人は日本の免許証を、助手席に乗る私はパスポートのコピーを用意していましたが不要でした。また長ズボンでなくても大丈夫です。「日本語の説明が必要な方はこちらへ」と日本人を集めて日本語を話せるスタッフがひと通り説明して下さり、その後、乗馬、ロケ地巡りツアー、バギー等それぞれに分かれ、英語のみに。皆さんのレビュー通り、砂ホコリで顔も服も汚れますが、それも楽しい!私は感染対策用のマスクを着けましたが、売店でクアロア牧場のスカーフを買って口に巻いている人がいて、それもいいなと思いました。3カ所ほど止まって車から降りてスタッフが色々説明してくれるのですが、英語がわからず・・・ガイドの内容がわからないのは残念でしたが、自分で運転するのは楽しいと思います。途中水が溜まっている所を何ヶ所か通過するのですが、水を飛ばさないようにゆっくり通ったり、わざと勢いよく入って車の中まで水浸しになったり。とにかく日本では見ることのできない壮大な自然の眺め、日本では体験できない楽しいバギー運転、最高でした!

I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time, and the views were truly breathtaking. During the buggy experience, we were able to ride together and navigate through rough terrain that exceeded our expectations, making it an unforgettable activity. Since the dust can be intense, it's advisable to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and to bring a change of clothes and a mask.

I saw in the notes that there were people in sandals, so I thought it would be fine to go in sandals, but it wasn't. I ended up buying shoes at a souvenir shop... Please be careful.
I didn't request a shuttle and took the bus from Ala Moana Shopping Center. Along the way, an employee wearing a Kualoa T-shirt got on, which gave me a strange sense of reassurance. There were already Jurassic Park-like mountains on the bus ride, and I was amazed. The bus was extremely cold!!
When it was time for horseback riding, we gathered at the barn. When they asked about my English skills and I said I wasn't good at it, they showed us a video for Japanese speakers on a monitor. There were two other groups of customers besides us, making a total of six people for the ride. It was fun to walk through the mountains, across the fields, and see the ocean, but the main attraction, Jurassic Park, never appeared! It seems there are routes like that... I was really disappointed.
I had enough time to take pictures and videos with my smartphone.
注意事項に記載されていたことですが写真を見るとサンダルの人もいたのでまあ大丈夫だろうとサンダルで行きましたがだめでした。お土産屋さんで靴を買うことに。。。お気をつけください。

バスの道中ですでにジュラシックパークっぽい山がありおお~~~ってなってました。バスは異常に寒いです!!
乗馬の時間になったので小屋に集まり、英語は?と聞かれ苦手というとモニターで日本人用のビデオを見せてくれました。
私達の他に2組お客さんがいて計6人で出発。山の中を歩いたり草原を歩いたり海が見えたりと景色が変わるのは楽しかったですが、、肝心のジュラシックパークがいつまで経ってもでてこない!!そういうルートもあるようです。。すごく残念でした。

It got quite dirty with the dust. But that made it interesting. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I was drawn in by the cheerful atmosphere and had a lot of laughs. I think they shared episodes and myths from the filming, but I felt it would have been nice to have printed materials in Japanese at that time. Anyway, it was a lot of fun.

I rented a car and arrived just in time, five minutes before the start, after getting lost. I almost gave up, but I was grateful they picked me up.
The buggy ride was pleasant, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking. We stopped at various points, and the guide introduced the sights and took many photos. The guide's commentary was in English, but there are videos in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean for how to drive the buggy and safety instructions, so even if you don't understand English, you can manage to drive. I couldn't understand the guide's jokes, which made it less fun.
I want to try the horseback riding course when my child gets older. They provide helmets, goggles, and face covers, but by the end, you'll be covered in dirt.
レンタカー借りて行きましたが、道に迷って開始5分前ギリギリに到着しました。諦めかけましたが、乗せてくれてありがたかったです。
バギーは気持ちよくて、道中絶景でした。ポイントポイントに留めて、ガイドさんが紹介して写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。道中のガイドは英語ですが、バギーの運転の仕方や注意事項は日本語、中国語、韓国語版のビデオがあるので、英語わからなくてもなんとか運転できます。ガイドさんのジョークがわからなくて面白さは半減しますが。

More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.
During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.
参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。

After each zip line, everyone cheered and clapped for each other. There were three instructors, and even though I don't understand English, they spoke to me in simple English before I took off to help me relax. I didn't quite understand the explanations during the activity, but the atmosphere was enjoyable enough.
There were also about three spots along the way to hydrate. I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii while moving along mountain paths and crossing suspension bridges. The three instructors were very dedicated to making sure the guests had a good time.
I think I would enjoy it even more if I could understand English better. I would like to challenge myself again!

Since I made a last-minute reservation, the shuttle service plan was fully booked, so I chose the non-shuttle, early morning, 2-hour horseback riding plan. I was a bit scared to drive in Hawaii since I wasn't used to it, so I took an Uber taxi, spending about 10,000 yen one way to get there. It takes about 45 minutes from Waikiki.
The ranch has lockers available for a fee, but when I went, they were out of order, so I was worried about participating with my backpack on. However, the instructor kindly asked me to take off my backpack, and I awkwardly asked the ticket counter staff to hold it for me. (I gave a tip when I got my belongings back after the experience.) I wasn't sure if this was the correct way to do it since my English wasn't sufficient… I slightly regretted not knowing if I should have given a tip when asking to hold my things, but the staff was very accommodating.
Small shoulder bags are also not allowed, so I used a waist bag and kept my valuables with me. *It seems carrying bags on your shoulder is not permitted.
Since the horseback riding experience is done in groups of six, it's understandable that reservations fill up quickly!
I had read beforehand that helmets can cause headaches, so I tried on several to find one that fit well.
The horseback riding experience was absolutely amazing. I was able to enjoy the vast land, impressive mountains, and the gentle, wise horses as we moved along slowly, taking in nature. Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, it added to the atmosphere and was wonderful. The instructor primarily spoke in English, but occasionally provided instructions in Japanese, which I appreciated despite feeling a bit guilty.
At one point, the instructor took photos with her iPhone and shared them via Airdrop at the end of the experience.
I also passed by customers on four-wheeler buggies and bus tours, happily greeting them with "Aloha!" and had a great time.
The experience ended just after 10 AM, allowing me to make the most of the rest of the day, creating wonderful memories.
直前に予約したため、送迎付きのプランは予約いっぱいで選べず…
送迎なし・朝イチの、乗馬2時間プランを選択しました。
ハワイで慣れない車の運転をするのは少し怖かったので、
ウーバータクシーを使って片道約10,000円かけて現地まで向かいました。
ワイキキ からは45分くらいで到着できます。
牧場には、有料で使用できるロッカーが常設されているのですが、
私が行った時は故障していて使えず…
リュックを背負ったまま参加なのかな…と思っていたら
インストラクターさんからバックパックはおろしてくださいね〜と注意があり、
アワアワしながらチケットカウンターのお姉さんにバックパックを預かってもらいました。
(体験後、荷物を返してもらう際にチップを渡しました。)
↑英語が十分に話せなかったため、これが正しい方法なのか不明です…
普通預かってもらうときにチップ渡すべき…?と少し後悔しておりますが
ひとまず、スタッフさんは快く預かってくれました。
小さなショルダーバッグもNGなので、
ウエストバッグにして、貴重品は所持していました。
※荷物を肩にかけるのはNGとのこと
乗馬は6人1組で体験するので、
予約がすぐに埋まってしまうのも頷けました!
事前に、ヘルメットで頭が痛くなる…という体験談を読んでいたため、

乗馬体験はもう、それはそれは最高で、
広大な大地、迫力のある山々、
穏やかで賢いお馬ちゃんたちと一緒にポクポクとゆっくり進みながら、
楽しく自然を感じることができました。
生憎の曇り空でしたが、それもそれで雰囲気があって最高です。
インストラクターのお姉さんは、9割英語での説明ですが
時折日本語で一生懸命指示してくれて、申し訳ない気持ちと共に有り難かったです。
途中で、お姉さんのiPhoneで写真を撮ってくれて、
体験の終わりにAirdropで共有してくれました。
4輪バギーや、バスツアーのお客さんともすれ違って、
「アロハ〜」と陽気に挨拶しながらめちゃくちゃ楽しみました。

Wowzers! Talk about an adventurous trip used wisely! We had such an amazing time! My husband and our 10 year old son couldn’t stop raving about how much fun we had and how our 2 hosts, whose names were Dom and Isaiah- made us laugh the whole time we were there. These guys deserve a lot of LOVE for making sure all these tourists (some with uptight attitudes) were safe, and charmingly educated us with the information of beautiful Hawaii. They were so professional, warm, kind and hilarious which made our trip even more fun. We saw so many cows and horses on the ranch, and took time to take pictures and learn about the ranch. Do be mindful to take a bandana or a mask, as you will end up dirty and dusty once it’s over. We all had a dirt mustache when the trip was over. Dom and Isaiah are talented young men who made the trip more fun- thanks for being great leaders! Cheers from San Francisco

The weather was nice, and the instructor was kind, but since I don't ride horses often, the last 30 minutes were really tough due to the pain in my inner thighs and the hardness of the helmet during the two-hour session. I think one hour would have been enough. However, the scenery was wonderful, and the horses were cute.
家族4人と兄、義姉の6人で参加しました。天気も良く、インストラクターのお姉さんも優しかったのですが、クラに乗る事がないので2時間だと内腿の痛みとヘルメットの硬さで最後の30分はまじ,つらかったです。
1時間で十分だと思いました。
でも、景色も素晴らしく、馬も可愛いかったです。

The SHARP mask was a great help. I was able to avoid inhaling the thick dust.
Goggles were essential. I'm glad I didn't forget to borrow them.
They didn't check the seatbelt safety at all, so when I was in trouble, I had to wave my hand to get their attention and have them check it as needed.
I didn't have time to ask how to adjust the seatbelt, so I could only barely reach the accelerator with my toes, but it was good that I could accelerate just by pressing it a little. I realized that from a certain point on, I didn't need to grip the steering wheel tightly; light handling was sufficient.
I watched a Japanese video, but it was explained by a man who is not a native Japanese speaker, and his intonation was strange and hard to understand. If you're going to make a Japanese video, it should be explained by a Japanese expert or a native speaker.
The female staff member was kind. I had a lot of fun.
SHARPのマスクが大活躍しました。
濃いめの砂ぼこりを吸い込まずに済みました。
ゴーグルは必須でした。借り忘れなくてよかった。
シートベルトの安全確認等は全くしてくれないので、
困った時は手を振って来てもらって、随時確認してもらう必要があった。
シートベルトの調節方法を聞く時間がなく、かろうじて届くくらいのアクセルをつま先で踏む程度だったが、少し踏むだけで加速させられたのでよかった。途中からハンドルはそんなに握りしめなくても、軽い操作で良いことに気がついた。
日本語のビデオを見たが、日本語母語話者でない男性が説明していて、その人の日本語のイントネーションが変で聞きづらかった。日本語のビデオを作るなら、日本語超級者か日本語母語話者が日本語で説明しているビデオにすべき。
女性の係の人が親切でした。すごく楽しかった。

There are a lot of amazing reviews, but I didn't find it to be that great.
Reason 1: "The boat is too small, and there isn't enough space to change or sit." Since this is a quite profitable tour, I wish they would use a bigger and more functional boat. Even when it starts to rain, if there are many customers, there isn't enough space for everyone to get under the roof.
Reason 2: "They don't lend wetsuits." Since we swim in quite deep water, I think they should provide wetsuits for safety. However, as mentioned earlier, the boat is small and there are no showers. Improvements are needed for both the boat itself and safety management.
The hamburger was similar to Mos Burger. It was tasty, but it felt pretty average.
The bus, like others have mentioned in their reviews, was cold. It would be nice if we could take our time changing on the boat, but the boat's restroom is cramped, making it difficult to change. There are no showers on the boat either.
The time we could swim was not very long. We saw turtles, but there weren't many fish. The sandbar wasn't as heavenly as one might expect, and it wasn't that stunningly beautiful.
Reason 3: The timing is too late. If they departed earlier, I think there would be more fish, but we arrive at the sandbar close to noon, so I believe the timing is too late. By the time we start snorkeling, the sea has already begun to get murky. It would be better to leave around 7 AM.
The guide (?), a Japanese woman, was very kind, but she was in a bikini from start to finish, which made me wonder, "Why?" The foreign female staff member was also in a thong bikini. She has a great figure, but I don't think it's necessary to be in a bikini the whole time (especially on the boat). Is the bikini style part of the service? That must be tough.
ものすごくよい口コミが多いですが、それほどでもなかったです。
その理由1 「船が小さすぎて着替える場所も座る場所も十分ではない」ということ。かなり儲かっているツアーなので、もっとでかくて機能的な船にしてほしい。
雨が降ってきても、客が多いと全員が屋根の下に入れるスペースもない。
理由2「ウェットスーツは貸してくれない」
結構水深の深いところで泳ぐので、安全のためにもウェットスーツを貸してくれるべきだと思う。
だけど、前述のとおり船は小さいし、シャワーもついてない。船自体と安全管理について
の改善が必要。
ハンバーガーは、モスバーガーみたいでした。おいしかったけど、これもふつうかなという感じ。
バスは、他の人の口コミと同じように、寒い。なので、船でゆっくり着替えたりできると良いのですが、船のトイレは狭いので、着替えにくかった。船にはシャワーもついてない。
泳いでられる時間もそんなに長くない。亀はみれたけど、魚もそんなにいなかった。サンドバーも天国といえるほどではなく、そんなに感動的なほどきれいでもない。
その3 時間帯が遅すぎる。
もっと早い時間帯に出発すれば、魚もいるんじゃないかと思うけど、正午近くにサンドバーに着くので、これも時間設定が遅すぎると思う。シュノーケリングするころには、既に海はにごりはじめている。
7時とか出発にすれば良いんじゃないか。
ガイドさん(?)は、日本人の女性がとても親切でしたが、最初から最後までビキニで、「なんでかな?」と思いました。スタッフの外国人の女性もひもパンでした。スタイル良いけど、ずっとビキニでいる必要はないのでは・・・(特に船上)。ビキニスタイルもサービスの一環なのかな? 大変ですね。
