All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

This activity is a must! It was the highlight of our 2 week trip.

It’s totally a MUST if you go to Hawaii. 100% recommended.

When I got on the bus, I was asked to show my passport, and when I showed my driver's license, they said, "A Japanese driver's license cannot be verified" (tears). When I showed my credit card, they trusted me.

バスに乗る際パスポートの提示を求められ、運転免許証を見せたら「日本の免許証は証明出来ない」(涙)
クレジットカードを見せたら信頼されました。

Easily marked where to go once we got the ranch! Great tour guides that you could tell had fun working there. Knowledgeable about the land, ranch, nature, etc. they provided us with a dust covering, eye protection and helmets. Safe vehicles. Definitely saw more of the ranch than any other tour or on horseback since we were using the UTV’s! I’d definitely recommend this to friends.

We had a big group of us go on this tour. It was seamless from the start. Check in was super easy, the boat ride was quick and so much fun!! The band was incredible!! And the donuts were yummy. When we got to the sandbar instructions were given and we got to go explore and have fun! My daughter actually got stung by a jellyfish while snorkelling and it could have ruined our excursion but the staff were excellent. Got her help immediately and were super attentive and caring to make sure she was doing ok. They even shared their own experiences with jellyfish. She got out in the water and had more fun before we had to head back to shore. Thank you for everything!! If we come back to Oahu we would definitely do another tour!!

I was looking forward to horseback trekking, and as expected, I had a great time. Even beginners can enjoy it, so I would love for many people to experience it.

馬でのトレッキングを楽しみにしていましたが、予想通り楽しく過ごせました、初心者でも楽しむことが出来るので多くも方に体験していただきたいと思いました。

The ranch is spectacular and if you like a bit of country you will love not just the movie sets the farmland and animals. Highly recommend.

It was so much fun racing through the magnificent nature on a buggy. After the experience, we had a good laugh at how covered in sand we were. Doing laundry when we got home was a hassle, but it was so amazing that it didn't matter at all. It's essential to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, along with goggles or sunglasses. At the beginning of the experience, there was a time for participants to introduce themselves, and we were the only Japanese group there. That was also a valuable experience. However, it was a bit disappointing that we had to wait a long time for the bus after the experience. But it's an activity that I think everyone should try at least once.

とにかく壮大な大自然の中をバギーで疾走するのが楽しかった。
体験後砂まみれ具合に大笑い。
帰ってからの洗濯が大変でしたが、そんなことどうでもいいと思えるぐらい最高でした。
汚れてもいい服装とゴーグルやサングラスは必須です。
体験の始めに参加者同士で自己紹介する時間があるのですが、日本人は私たち1組でした。それもまた貴重な体験です。
体験が終わってからバスの待ち時間が長かったのが少し残念でした。
でも1回は体験してほしいアクティビティです。

Impressed with the staff. They made us feel welcomed and allowed us to take pictures. They gave us island recommendations and were so nice. I definitely want to come back and do this again. The pictures do no justice to this beautiful place. We didn’t want to leave. There’s so much history and things to do here.

Last time I experienced horseback riding, and this time I tried the four-wheeler! It was amazing! Everyone from abroad came in shorts. My clothes got a bit dirty.

前回は乗馬、今回は四輪バギーを体験しました！最高です！外国の方は皆さん半ズボンでこられておりました。服は多少汚れました。

Very good experience. Good food, music and activities. Overall fantastic experience. Highly recommend for families, safe and fun

Crew was fantastic! So friendly and made our day so much fun.

It seems that sandbars appear depending on the season or time of day. When we went in late March during the day, it was just a regular shallow sea. There was live music on the cruise, which made us feel like we were in America! The activities were also fun. It seems essential to bring a jacket or a change of clothes, as it was quite cold.

サンドバーは時期？か時間帯により砂浜が現れるようです。
私たちが行った3月下旬の昼は普通に浅い海でした。
クルーズないで生演奏がありアメリカを感じられます！
アクティビティも楽しかったです。
上着や着替えは必須に思えます。
結構寒かったです。

Thank you for a great afternoon. My family enjoyed volleyball, and snorkeling. The lunch was great and the entertainment was too.

Actually, in the past, my son was too small for the buggy, and I lacked confidence in moving around smoothly in the morning, so I had been avoiding Kualoa for a long time... After much deliberation, I decided on the Raptor tour, even though horseback riding and just a movie tour sounded good too. Since I was only 18 and didn't have my license yet, my mother ended up driving.

For someone who is only 151 cm tall like me, it felt like I was driving on my tiptoes, but I managed to get through it! Along the way, they took funny photos and videos at various spots, making it feel like we were part of a movie scene, which was so much fun! I actually forgot my driver's license that day, but I had my photo, and that was okay. I was relieved—if I couldn't participate and had to cancel on the day without a full refund, that would have been terrifying. Everyone, please be careful not to forget!

They show a Japanese explanation video for Japanese guests. After a trial run, they said if everything was okay, we could go without help, but there was actually no such thing, and we went straight to the main event. However, there were three staff members with us, so I think they would have switched if we needed help.

We woke up at 4:30 AM in Waikiki and took a bus around 5:00 AM, but there was a slight delay. We made it in plenty of time, but we came early in the morning and planned to eat garlic shrimp in Kahuku on the way back. If we had more energy, we thought about making more stops on the way back, so we opted for no round-trip shuttle. Depending on the combination of activities, I think you can have a full day of fun!

実は以前は息子が小さ過ぎてバギーが出来なくて、朝起き、移動もなかなか上手く出来る自信が無くて、ずっと敬遠してきたクアロアでした…馬もいいし、ただの映画ツアーでもいいしと悩んだ末にラプターにしました♪
まだ、18歳で免許取れてなかったので、結局運転は母でしたが。
151しかない私にはかなりの爪先運転に近かったんですが、何とかクリア出来ました！
途中いろんな所で、面白おかしく写真や動画を撮影してくれて、映画のワンシーンに参加してるみたいで、凄く楽しかった！
実は車の免許を当日忘れて、写真だけあったんですが、それでOKでした。
助かった～これで参加出来なくて、当日キャンセルで全額返金されなかったらゾッとします。皆さん、お忘れ無き様、お気を付け下さい！

日本人には日本語の説明ビデオを見せてくれます。
お試し走行して、大丈夫なら、ヘルプなしでGOとの説明でしたが、全然そんなの無しで、本番へGOでしたが、スタッフは3名付いてましたので、ヘルプ出せば代わってくれたとは思います♪

ワイキキ4:30起きして、5:00発位のバスで来ましたが、やはり、少し遅延がありました。充分間に合いましたが、私達は朝一に来て、帰りはカフクでガーリックシュリンプ食べて、もっと元気なら、もっと寄り道して帰りたいと考えたので、往復送迎無しにしました。
組合せ次第では１日楽しめるのではないかと思います♪

We participated in a horseback riding tour with my spouse and our adult daughter.

During the tour explanation, a staff member fluent in Japanese translates the important parts, so those who are not confident in English can feel at ease. However, the actual tour is conducted mostly in English. But don’t worry, they will also provide important information in broken Japanese.

The tour itself was just as expected, taking us to movie filming locations. The horses were very well trained, which made us feel safe.

The hamburger we had at a café in the area on our way back was very delicious.

夫婦＆成人した娘の3人で乗馬ツアーに参加しました。

ツアーの説明時は日本語の堪能なスタッフの方が大事なところは翻訳してくれるので英語が苦手な方でも安心ですが、ツアー本番はほぼ英語で実施されます。ただカタコトの日本語で大事なところは教えてくれるので安心してください。

ツアー内容も映画のロケ地を巡る期待通りのものでした。馬もとてもよく調教されており安心です。

帰りにエリア内のカフェで食べたハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです。

I visited the filming location of Jurassic Park, feeling excited. It was my first experience riding a horse, and I was taught how to ride. I rode for about two hours while enjoying the scenery. The views were beautiful, and the photos turned out great. I want to go back again.

ジュラシックパークの撮影地で、ワクワクしながら行きました。
乗馬も初体験で、乗り方を教えてもらって2時間くらい景色を見ながら乗馬しました。
とっても景色が綺麗で、写真も綺麗にうつってます。
また見に行きたいです。

At the reception, they check if you are wearing shoes. There were no specific requirements, but it was a tour for Japanese people. The guide could speak some simple Japanese and also provided instructions on how to ride the horse. It's a two-hour tour, so it can be a bit tiring, but you can really feel the vast nature of Kualoa Ranch. By the way, when I went, it rained quite a bit towards the end, but of course, I couldn't get off the horse, and my T-shirt got completely soaked (laughs). It might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes.

受付時、靴を履いているか確認されます。特に指定はしていなかったですが、日本人向けツアーでした。ガイドの方も簡単な日本語を話すことができ、馬の乗り方もガイドしてくれます。2時間なので少し疲れますが、クアロアランチの広大な自然を感じることができるツアーです。ちなみに私が行った際は、終盤雨が結構降ったもののもちろん馬から降りられることもなくTシャツがびしょびしょになりました笑。着替えを持って行くと良いかもしれません。

This was such an awesome experience, everything was so beautiful, and the ride was super fun. I wish I could remember their names, because the two ladies that led our tour were the best. They were really knowledgeable telling us all sorts of cool stuff about the area in a way that was engaging and fun. They made personal connections with each family which was really appreciated by everyone. They were bouncing from family to family helping take pictures, answering questions, and chatting with us all. I asked one of them a question about this weird looking “rock” I found and she took me off to the side to show me it was actually a nut shell. She took me to see the tree it came from, told me what it was used for, how it tasted, and she even dug around in the brush to find one on the ground so I could see what they looked like before it was cracked open. It sounds silly, but it was really nice that she took the extra time with just me to show me something I was interest in. 10/10 experience, we would totally go back. One of them even had a little dinosaur puppet that she pulled out to use to take pictures for people so it looked like the dinosaur was real and trying to attack us. It was so much fun. This really is a must do event if you’re visiting this island.

My kids and I had a awesome time. The staff was really nice and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The place is amazing. I highly recommend this outing. We enjoyed the banana boat ride and the bumper ride. The water was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed a lot.

I’m so glad we booked this excursion during our 2 day whirlwind tour of Oahu. We have a friend that’s on the island so we came over from vacationing on Maui to visit. Check in was super easy. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew was amazing. Loved the live music on the journey to and from the sandbar. Once we arrived, there was a little something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking, hanging out on a floating platform or snorkeling! They even had inner-tubing and banana boat rides for an extra fee. The views of the island were stunning. Trip lasted roughly 3 hours so plenty of time to still explore the island after. Shout out to Preston and Jesse for all the aloha and good vibes. It was a super fun trip and we highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. It’s a really great excursion.

We had a great time with Kualoa Ranch Experience - Jurassic Valley Movie Tour. Our guide was outstanding and she provided us with many interesting facts. Highly recommended!

The ATV ride was awesome. Our tour was the last of the day. The tour guides were great; funny and informational. They also help with photos. The stops were pretty cool. I only wish we would have stopped at the bone field and the wall from JW. We would definitely do one of the other tours.

Everything in the title and description is not only accurate, but does not disappoint! Festive and fun the whole time... beautiful setting with the smaller islands and mountains surroundings, standing a mile off shore in the middle of the bay. Nice touch having the floating lounge, and thoughtful idea providing fish treats for snorkeling(!) The music Jessie and crew played on board, and DJ-ed during activities was awesome--so much fun dancing with the fish! We only wish could have had more than one go of the banana boat and bumper tube. Worth doing more than once on a trip here, definetly--almost tried walking in backward when we were leaving

My husband and I took our family to Hawaii for spring break. We always at the kids do something different. I thought they might be hesitant, but they tried The banana boat and the bumper boat and loved it, probably one of the most fun things they did on this trip. The only thing I would say I was disappointed about this excursion was that the description said they will provide soda or coke with lunch but we got lemonade instead. The bathroom on the boat also needs to be restocked before taking the next ride out. There were no soaps or hand sanitizer to use. Besides this, we had such a fun time.

I participated in a four-wheel buggy tour at Kualoa, thinking of the memories in Hawaii during my grandson's spring break. The weather was unpredictable, and while I was hoping for the typical sunny Hawaiian skies and blue ocean, it was occasionally rainy. However, we drove through rough mountain roads and took photos at movie filming locations while enjoying the wonderful scenery, and before I knew it, two hours had passed. It was a very satisfying day. I want to go again!

孫の春休みにハワイの思い出と思い、クアロアの四輪バギーに参加しました
天気が変わりやすくて、ハワイらしい晴天で青い海が見えることを期待していたのですが、たまに雨の降る空模様
でも山の悪路を走ったり、素晴らしい景色を見ながら映画ロケ地で写真撮影をしたりで、あっという間に2時間が過ぎました
大満足な1日でした
また行きたいです

This trip was great and a great value for the price. The staff was amazing and everyone in our party had so much fun at the sandbar playing with all the water toys.

And the musicians were really good and we had fun singing along and dancing. I would definitely do this trip again and will recommend to everyone we know. Thanks for a great afternoon.

We would like to spend more time at snorkeling sessions and not 45 mins. We still have to wait people to get down into the water.

I thought it would be a bit cold, but with excitement in my heart, I dove into the sea. I was moved by the emerald green scenery. After enjoying a delicious hamburger, it was time for snorkeling! I tried fins for the first time, and while the corals and colorful fish were pleasant, the surprise and thrill of seeing a huge sea turtle emerge from behind the corals made me really glad I participated.

少し寒いかと思いきや　ワクワクな気持ちで　海にダイブ
エメラルドグリーンの風景に感動です。
美味しいハンバーガー食べて　次は　シュノーケリング❗️
はじめて　フィンに挑戦　サンゴやカラフルな魚も心地よかったけれど　サンゴの陰から　デカい！ウミガメが出てきたときの驚きと　感動は　参加してよかったです。

So much fun! Would do it again! The crew was informative, easy going and made sure we were all good! Food was great! I had 2nd servings and my 6yo son had a blast! It was his first time to snorkle!
