All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

The weather was a bit uncertain, but it didn't rain, and the scenery was great, making it the best experience. I don't think you can ride a horse for two hours like this in Japan.

天候がびみょうでしたが、雨もふらず、景色もよく最高でした。2時間も馬に乗れるなんて
日本ではなかなか無いとおもいます。

In February, the beach was completely submerged with about 30 cm of seawater, but the clarity of the ocean was impressive. The staff was friendly, and there were Japanese guides available, which was reassuring. The snorkeling experience with the coral reefs was also quite worthwhile. Sea turtles were swimming nearby as well. Since February is the rainy season, it can be chilly in short sleeves, so please bring something to wear over it.

2月でしたので完全に砂浜が完全に露出せず30cm位海水がありましたが、海の透明度は感激でした。スタッフもフレンドリーで日本語ガイドもあるので安心です。
シュノーケルでのサンゴ礁ウッチも見応えあります。
ウミガメも普通に近くを泳いでますよ。
2月は雨期で半袖だと寒いので、上に羽織るものを持参して下さい。

A bus will pick you up to Honolulu.
I enjoyed snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking for about two hours.
There were Japanese staff members, and the local staff spoke Japanese as well. They were cheerful people, so you can relax and have fun!

ホノルルまでバスの迎えが来てくれます。
シュノーケルやSUP、カヤックを2時間程度堪能しました。
日本人スタッフもいましたし、現地スタッフも日本語が話せて、陽気な人たちなので、安心して楽しめます！

We had a very large group of all ages and swim levels and everyone had such a great time! The crew was so nice and helpful. We would definitely go again.

We went as a family of three (with an 11-year-old child) and had a truly satisfying and precious time!

- Getting to the port by bus
After arriving, I felt a bit anxious about where to go, but it was fine as long as we followed the flow. A Japanese staff member provided explanations. It's a good idea to fill out a waiver beforehand. No need to print it; you can do it on your smartphone.

- On the way
We headed there while listening to Hawaiian live music, which really lifted our spirits. It felt very Hawaiian.

- Kayaking
First, we enjoyed kayaking together as a family of three. The child had a great time too!

- Stand-up paddleboarding
Standing up at first is a bit scary, but it's manageable.

- Snorkeling
I believe we will definitely see fish. We received fish food from the staff. It was the child's first snorkeling experience, and they enjoyed it without any issues!

I recommend bringing a GoPro. You can take pictures safely underwater, and the staff can take family photos for you, creating memories that you wouldn't normally capture!

One thing I regret is not knowing how to give tips. I wanted to give a tip to the staff who helped us during snorkeling, but I didn't see a place for it on the boat. There was a box for tips inside the boat, so I put it there. However, when we got off the boat, the staff were there to see us off. Was it proper etiquette to give tips there? I didn't have any ready in my hand, so I just shook hands and left. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on the staff who took care of us! It was the best hospitality. If I have the chance, I will go again!

親子3人（子ども11歳）で行きました。大満足な貴重な時間が過ごせました！
・バスで港まで
到着後、どこに行けばよいかちょっと不安になりますが、流れに沿って行けば大丈夫でした。日本人スタッフの方が説明して頂きました。行く前に事前に誓約書みたいのを書いていくと良いです。印刷不要です。スマホで出来ます。
・行くまで
ハワイアンライブミュージックを聞きながら、テンションを上げながら向かいます。ハワイって感じでした。
・カヤック
まずは、カヤックは３人乗りで、親子３人で楽しみました。子供も楽しめます！
・スタンダップパドル
最初立つのは怖いですが、大丈夫です。
・シュノーケリング
魚は、間違いなく見れると思います。スタッフの方に魚のえさをもらえました。子供は初のシュノーケリングでしたが、全く問題なく楽しんでました！

GoProの持参をおすすめします。海の中でも安心して撮れますし、スタッフの方に家族の写真を撮ってもらえたりして、普段撮れない写真が撮れて、良い思い出になっています！

ちょっと悔いが残るのは、チップの渡し方がわかりませんでした。
シュノーケリングの時にお世話になったスタッフに渡したかったのですが、
ボート内に見たらなかったので、ボートの中にチップを入れる箱があった
ので、そこに入れました。でもボートを降りると、スタッフの方が
見送りでいてくれました。そこでチップを渡すのがマナーだったのでしょうか？
手にチップを用意しておらず・・そのまま、握手をして帰ることに・・。
お世話になったスタッフの方に嫌な思いをさせていたらすみません！
最高のおもてなしでした。
機会があれば、また行きます！

I was a bit anxious about the unfamiliar activities abroad, but the bus guidance on the day was clear, and there were Japanese staff on-site, which made me feel at ease.

I was able to go horseback riding for two hours in the great outdoors, which was also a filming location for Jurassic Park, and it was incredibly relaxing. I definitely want to go again!

慣れない海外でのアクティビティで少し不安でしたが、当日のバスの案内などもわかりやすく、現地では日本人スタッフの方もいて、安心でした。

ジュラシックパークのロケ地にもなった大自然の中で、2時間も乗馬ができて、最高に癒されました。またぜひ行きたいです！

As expected from a private tour, it seems they were able to keep the equipment for us at the beginning, allowing us to play to our heart's content. I thought there wouldn't be a return transfer, but it was great that they took us back to the hotel. The water level was about waist-high, which is natural and unavoidable, but I would love to go again.

さすがプライベートツアー、遊具も最初にキープさせていただいたそうで思いっきり遊べたそうです。
帰りの送迎がついていないと思っていたのですが、ちゃんとホテルに送って頂けて助かりました。
水位が腰ぐらいまであったのでそれは自然なので仕方がないですが、また行きたいです。

The activity itself was so much fun, and I was very satisfied! Driving was enjoyable, and the bumpy roads, puddles, and hills were all a blast!

My body, face, and hair ended up covered in dust!

I brought a raincoat based on reviews, but it was too hot to wear. I recommend bringing a complete change of clothes, plenty of wet wipes, and disposable plastic bags to cover your belongings!

My face was covered in sand, even my eyelashes, so if you're concerned about that, it's a good idea to bring makeup remover and cosmetics or plan a schedule where you can return to the hotel right away.

We left early in the morning for the activity and had a tour that ended around 2 PM, but I spent too much time getting ready for the return trip and had to skip lunch. I went straight back to the hotel and reset everything, haha!

アクティビティ自体は楽しすぎて大満足でした！運転自体が楽しいし、ガタガタする道や水たまり、坂など…とても楽しかったです！

体、顔、髪すべてが砂埃だらけになります！

口コミを見てレインコートを持参しましたが暑すぎて着ていられず。
おすすめは、全身の着替え・たくさんのウェットティッシュ・荷物を覆うための使い捨てビニール袋を持参することです！

顔はまつげまで砂まみれになるので、気になる方はメイク落としと化粧品を持参またはすぐホテルに帰れるスケジュールにするといいです。

朝早くに出てすぐアクティビティ、14時頃解散のツアーでしたが、帰りの身支度に時間を取られて昼食は断念、すぐホテルに帰ってオールリセットしました笑

The crew was awesome and very kind. They treated us like family and still gave us privacy to enjoy our trip to the Sandbar. I cannot say enough good things about the time we had. Great food, relaxing, adventurous, and fun.

It was truly one of my favorite things this trip. The crew were so nice and pleasant. The weather was a bit windy and the sandbar wasn’t fully out even with all that the experience was one of my favorites.
The crew helped you out throughout the whole experience. One of the guides even helped me with my snorkel experience and guided me. It was one of my favorite things to do and would recommend this activity to anyone I know. Thank you to all the wonderful crew, I am sorry that I can’t remember all the names. And thank you to my guide that helped me with the snorkel experience you have no idea how grateful I am. Overall, one of the top activities to do.

I participated in the Heaven's Sea sandbar and snorkeling tour, which included a barbecue lunch.

In the end, I had the amazing experience of seeing a honu (sea turtle) right in front of me and swimming together for a while, but the cold before and after was beyond what I had imagined.

The wind was strong, it was cloudy, and there were no elements to warm us up at all, so older participants either didn't get in from the start or gave up early.

I borrowed two large towels from the hotel and brought a down jacket, which was just about right. There were some people who seemed completely fine, so there is a personal difference.

If it hadn't been cold, it would have been an incredibly fun activity. The staff taking care of us were very pleasant, and I'm glad I chose this tour.

I was expecting a bit better for lunch, but it was still quite delicious.

For the barbecue, we had grilled meat patties sandwiched in hamburger buns, with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onion inside. There were also boiled beans, fruit, and chips.

They provided warm drinks as well, and I was impressed by how the small number of staff managed to serve such a large group.

天国の海　サンドバーとシュノーケリング、バーベキューランチ付きに参加しました。

結果的にはホヌに目の前で会えて、しばらく一緒に泳げるという、最高の体験が出来ましたが、その前後の寒さは、想像以上でした。

風が強く、曇りでもあり、全く暖かくなる要素がないままだったので、年配の方は最初から入らないか、早々にギブアップ。

大きめのタオル2枚、ホテルから借りて持っていき、ダウンも持って行って、ちょうどくらいでした。
中には全然平気な方もいらっしゃったので、個人差がありますね。

寒くなければ最高に楽しいアクティビティでした。お世話をしてくださる方々もとても感じ良くて、こちらを選んで良かったです。
ランチは、もう少し良いものを期待していましたが、十分美味しかったです。

バーベキューグリルで、焼いたお肉のパテをハンバーガーのバンズではさみ、中にはチーズ、トマト、レタス、オニオン。
あとは煮豆と果物、チップスでした。

温かい飲み物も、提供があるし、あれだけ沢山の人数を少数スタッフでさばけているのがすごかったかな。

It took about 40 minutes by bus from the hotel in Waikiki to arrive!

We received an overall explanation at the information center around 10 AM and then dispersed. There was a Japanese staff member who explained everything in Japanese!!

We had free time until the buggy ride. I strolled through the souvenir shop and spent time interacting with the horses!

We checked in for the buggy ride at 10:30 and set off!! The staff attending us spoke only English (there was a Japanese video for the initial safety instructions). There were parts of the explanation during the ride that I didn't understand, but the staff member was cheerful and friendly, and we had an amazing time for two hours!!! Getting caught in a downpour along the way was also a good memory!

Knowing I would get dirty, I participated in clothes I didn't mind throwing away. I was in the last buggy, but since it had just rained, there wasn't much dust, and I didn't get as dirty as I expected!! They provide helmets and goggles, so when it's sunny, you might want something to protect your nose and mouth...

【Essentials】
Change of clothes, wet wipes. It was cold in February, so having a long-sleeved cover-up might be good!!

Afterward, we had quite a bit of time until the 3:30 bus! I wish I had participated in another activity...

Lunch is available for purchase on-site! I had the garlic shrimp plate, and it was delicious!!

I want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Mahalo!

ワイキキのホテルからバスで40分くらいで到着！

アテンドしてくれるスタッフは英語only
(最初の注意事項説明は日本語ビデオあり)
バギー中の説明は分からないところもありましたが、アテンドしてくれたスタッフが明るく気さくな方で2時間めちゃめちゃ楽しめました！！！
途中スコールをくらったのも良い思い出！

汚れると知っていたので捨ててもいい服で参加
1番後ろのバギーでしたが雨上がりで砂埃もあまりなく、思ったほど汚れずに済みました！！
ヘルメットとゴーグルは貸してくれるので
晴れてる時は鼻、口を守るものは必要かと…

【必需品】
着替え、ウェットティッシュ
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織ものあると良いかも！！

終わってからは15:30のバスまで時間があまり過ぎました！他のアクティビティに参加すれば良かったなと…

ランチは現地で購入可能！
ガーリックシュリンププレートを食べましたが美味しかったです！！

また次ハワイ来た時も参加したいです！
マハロ！

I participated in the Sandbar Angel's Sea snorkeling and sea turtle watching cruise. The atmosphere was nice and it was fun, but when I entered the water for snorkeling, the water temperature was low and "it was cold."

Snorkeling was enjoyable, but I recommend preparing for the cold after getting back on the boat. Our family of three participated, and we all changed in the restroom and wrapped ourselves in thick towels we brought from the hotel.

Even though it's a tropical climate, it felt like winter? Since the water temperature is low, I recommend taking precautions. I was glad I had read experiences beforehand.

The weather was nice, so I thought it was still bearable, but I believe cold weather precautions are necessary when it's cloudy, rainy, or windy.

サンドバー　天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズに参加しました。雰囲気も良く、楽しかったのですが、シュノーケリングで海に入ったのですが、水温が低く「冷たかった」です。
シュノーケリングも楽しかったのですが、船に上がってからの寒さ対策をお勧めします。我が家は３人で参加しましたが、トイレで全員着替えて、ホテルから持参した厚いバスタオルにくるまっていました。
常夏といえど、やはり冬？なのか。水温が低いので対策をお勧めします。
事前に体験談を見て行っていたので、良かったです。
天気が良かったので、これでもまだマシだと思いましたから、天気が曇りだとか雨、風が強い等の時は、寒さ対策が必要だと思いました。

I participated in the event in the morning at the end of January. This year's Honolulu felt cold, with many rainy days. After arriving on site, I got into the ocean just after 9 AM, but the seawater was cold, and due to the cloudy sky, I got back on the boat after about 20 minutes. The ocean was beautiful, and there were fish swimming, so I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been warmer. I believe participating in the afternoon during the winter would have allowed for a warmer experience.

1月末の午前中のに参加しました。今年のホノルルは寒く、雨の日も多い感じでした
現地に着いて、9時過ぎから海に入りましたが、海水も冷たく、曇り空のため、20分位で船に上がってしまいました。
海は綺麗で、魚も泳いでいて、もっと暖かだったら楽しめたと思います
冬の時期は午後からの参加の方が暖かく過ごせたと思います

I participated in a movie location tour (meeting and ending on-site) in the morning and a zipline tour with seven lines (also meeting and ending on-site) in the afternoon. Both tours had the same check-in location, so I was able to complete the check-in for both with just one visit.

On the way to the zipline location, we took the same route as the location tour by bus, but there were no stops for photo opportunities. All three guides spoke English, so there were times when I didn't understand what they were saying, but all seven ziplines were a lot of fun! It was a great memory to experience seven consecutive ziplines in the magnificent nature, something that is hard to do in Japan!

午前中に映画ロケ地ツアー(現地集合解散)、午後にジップライン7本ツアー(現地集合現地解散)に参加しました。
どちらのツアーも受付が同じ場所なので、1度のチェックインで両方とも受付完了出来ました。
ジップラインの場所に行くまでは、ロケ地ツアーと途中まで同じルートをバスで通りますが、停まって写真撮影とかはありませんでした。
ガイドさん3人とも全て英語なので何を言ってるか分からない事もありましたが、7本のジップラインはどれも楽しかったです！日本では中々出来ない7本連続と、雄大な自然の中で出来たのは良い思い出になりました！

I participated last month. I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming in the very blue ocean. The guide was Japanese and explained everything in Japanese for the Japanese tourists, which was reassuring. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii.

先月参加させていただきました。
とても青い海に泳いでいるウミガメもたくさん見れて大満足です。
ガイドの方も日本人で、日本の観光客には全て日本語で説明してくれるので安心です。
またハワイに行く機会があったら参加したいです。

Touring Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch was awesome! It was a great combination of Hawaiian history, Nature information, and Movie set information. The tour guides were professional, and pleasant, making the tour enjoyable. I recommend renting the ATVs because it's fun driving the trails around the ranch.
The best part was a sudden downpour while driving and we kept going on the tour.
My advice is to book your tour when you make your travel arrangements to Honolulu as this tour sells out all the time.

This is a great tour for all ages!!

My family and I had a great time using this package tour to Kualoa Ranch. The instructions were clear and the transportation vehicles were timely and clean. The ranch itself is beautiful with the ATV tour thoroughly going to different parts of the ranch. The tour guides were informative, funny and definitely wanted the guests to have a great time. I recommend you wear clothes that you don't mind getting dusty as the dust kicks up a lot as you're driving. They provide helmets, bandanas and googles to help cover up. The views were beautiful and they give you plenty of time to take photos and soak in the atmosphere. Overall, highly recommend this tour.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of our visit, but we still had a great time despite getting soaked! For a full two hours, we were able to stop several times to listen to the guide's explanations and take photos. The second half of the course had more ups and downs, making the driving even more enjoyable. The facilities were clean, and it was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member, Sanae, there. However, I felt that waiting about three hours for the return bus after the activity was too long.

当日は残念ながら雨でしたが、びしょ濡れになりながら楽しめました！丸2時間、途中で何度か止まってガイドさんの説明を聞いたり、写真を撮ったりもできます。コースは後半の方がアップダウンがあり、より運転が楽しめます。
施設はトイレも綺麗で、日本人スタッフのさなえさんがいて安心でしたが、アクティビティ終了後、帰りのバスの出発まで約3時間待つのたけは長すぎると感じました。

Long pants are required, and I went in long pants, but there were people riding in shorts. I think long pants are better since you have to straddle the horse. If it rains, you can borrow a yellow raincoat for riding, but you can't take it off halfway. We were glad to borrow it since it rained heavily the whole time.

Since it might rain, it's better to bring a change of clothes. Even if it doesn't rain, you'll get dirty anyway. You can change in the restroom. The bus ride to and from the location has strong air conditioning, so it's cold.

There was also a kind Japanese person at the reception, which was reassuring. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend it!

長ズボン必須とあり長ズボンで行ったが半ズボンで乗れてる人もいた。馬に跨るので長ズボンの方がいいと思う。雨の場合乗馬は黄色いレインコートを貸してもらえるが途中で脱ぐことはできない。自分たちはずっと雨が強かったので借りて良かった。

雨が降るので着替えを持って行った方がよい。雨は降らなくてもどっちみち汚れるので。お手洗いで着替えられる。行き帰りのバスは冷房きいてて寒い。

受付にも親切な日本人の方がいて安心。
総じてとても楽しかったです、ぜひおすすめ！

I had done zip-lining in Japan before, but this one was by far the longest and the best experience I've ever had. The shuttle bus felt like an attraction from Jurassic Park, which was fun. The instructors were friendly and kind, and they even spoke to us in Japanese.

The weather changed frequently, with rain and sunshine throughout the day. At one point, it started pouring down heavily, and I thought I might catch a cold because my clothes got soaked. So, I recommend purchasing a poncho sold on-site or wearing a raincoat if there's any chance of rain or if the weather looks suspicious on the day of your participation.

日本でもジップラインはやったことがありましたが今回のが今まで経験した中でダントツで長くて最高でした。
送迎の車もジュラシックパークのアトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。
インストラクターの方も日本語で話しかけてくれたり、気さくで優しくてとてもいい方達でした。

雨が降ったり晴れたりコロコロ天気が変わる日だったのですが、途中から凄い勢いで降ってきて服がびしょ濡れになり風邪を引くかと思ったので、参加当日少しでも雨が降ってたり空模様が怪しかったりする時は現地で売ってるポンチョ購入するかレインコート着たほうがいいと思います。

We were able to enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and volleyball for two and a half hours for free. I think it's a great deal since it includes these activities and allows you to experience the precious scenery of the sandbar. I recommend it for groups who love activities or siblings. Even grandparents who didn't go into the water enjoyed the scenery and live music. The water depth is about chest to waist high. They mentioned that it's usually like this. It's a good depth for activities, but if you're expecting a sandy beach at the sandbar, you might want to consider other tours. Also, there are no showers. If that's a concern, it might be good to bring some water to rinse off a bit after changing.

シュノーケリング、カヤック、サップ、バレーボールが2時間半、無料で出来ました。
これらの費用込み、サンドバーという貴重な景色も味わえるので、お得だと思います。
アクテビティ好きのグループや兄弟などにお勧め。
海に入らない、祖父母さんなんかも、景色と生演奏で、楽んでおられました。
水深は胸から腰ぐらいの深さ。だいたいいつもこんな感じだと言っておられました。アクテビティにはちょうど良い深さですが、砂浜のサンドバーを期待するなら、他のツアーなのかなぁと思います。
あと、シャワーはありません。気になる方は、着替え後に、ちょっと洗う、水を持って行くと良いかも。

I thought it might be a bit lacking, as it seemed like just running in a line while watching videos, but in the second half, there were many moments splashing water in the stream, making it a very enjoyable experience. I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

ビデオ等を見ていると列に繋がって走る感じでイマイチかな？と思っていましたが後半に小川で水飛沫を上げるところが多く、大変楽しい体験でした。機会があれば又なりたいです。

This time, we participated in a four-wheeler buggy tour as a family! It was an exhilarating tour that raced through the mountains!

It's definitely worth joining!

今回は四輪バギーを家族で参加しました！山々を駆け抜けて迫力満点なツアーでした！

ぜひ、参加している価値ありです！

I think those with a fear of heights should refrain from this activity. However, for those who don't, it's the best activity. You can't experience this in Japan, so I definitely recommend giving it a try.

さすがに高所恐怖症の方は控えたほうがいいと思います。が、そうでない方にとっては最高のアクティビティです。日本では体験できませんのでぜひやってみて欲しいです。

Even though the water was a bit chilly we had a lot of fun. The singing was sensational on the way there. We saw a bunch of big fish after walking a hundred steps, there were a lot more colorful ones near the corals. After snorkeling , we did a bit of kayaking as well, the sun came out and we warmed up. Tip: look up low tide times a few days ahead and book appropriate sessions, we didn’t do that so the sandbar was not visible.

It was December, so the sea was quite cold, but I had an amazing time! The sandbar was stunning, and the hamburger was delicious! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which made for a very fulfilling experience! But next time, I think I want to go during a warmer season.

12月でしたので海がまぁまぁ冷たかったですが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
サンドバーは絶景でしたし、ハンバーガーも美味しかった！
シュノーケリングでは、運良くウミガメを見ることも出来てとても充実した時間でした！
でも今度は暖かい時期に行きたいかな。

I had to wait in the sea for a long time without anything to do because there weren't enough canoes or SUPs, and it took a while for someone to switch with me. It was cold that day, and I endured while shivering. For some reason, I couldn't go to the area where there were many other boats (it looked like a beautiful white sandy beach, like a heavenly sea). This tour was separated from that.

カヌーやsupが足りなくて海の中で何もすることなくずっと待ってましたが、、なかなか代わってもらえなかった。その日は寒くて震えながら耐えました。なぜかわからないですが、他のたくさんの船がいるところへはいけなく（そちらが白い砂の浜辺のように見えて天国の海という感じです綺麗だった）このツアーだけ離れてました。

It seems that the impact of global warming will not cause islands to emerge. I'm glad to hear that you're from Japan. The hamburger was also very delicious.

温暖化？の影響で島が出てくる事はないそうです。日本の方なので助かります。ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

The staff were fantastic. The location was fantastic. Glad we only had about 35 people along. 100… their max is 100. It got a little crowded in the area they confine you too. I also did not like wearing the life preserver while snorkeling. I could have spent the whole morning on the reef, but they only let you visit half.
