All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

the ATV tour through Jurassic Valley offered stunning views of the mountains and coastline

Such a fun and active morning snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding around Kaneohe Bay!

The ziplines were exciting and felt safe thanks to the attentive guides. Flying over the lush Jurassic Valley with views of the mountains and ocean was incredible

Highly recommend for anyone wanting a comprehensive, off-the-beaten-path island experience.

The UTV mapped trails through Jurassic Valley were stunning, with incredible views of the mountains and coastline and lots of fun movie add ins throughout

The ocean in Waikiki is beautiful, but this place is on another level! It was a clear emerald green. We did bumper tubing, banana boating, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We stayed in the water the whole time without returning to the boat. The bumper tubing we did right after arriving was quite challenging, especially for families with kids. It was thrilling! The time felt long enough that I thought we should go back, but I was completely satisfied. We went banana boating with four people. It wasn't as difficult as the bumper tubing, but you could really feel the sea breeze—definitely a classic ocean activity! For snorkeling, you can use your own gear or rent some. We fed the fish and filmed the ocean with a GoPro. The SUP had an instructor, so it was reassuring to know that if you fell, you’d just land in the water! It was a fantastic time enjoying the ocean in Hawaii.

ワイキキの海も綺麗ですが、ここは別格！透き通ったエメラルドグリーンでした。バンパーチューブ、バナナボート、シュノーケリング、サップをやりました。一度も船に戻らず、ずっと海に。着いてすぐにやったバンパーチューブは難易度高め？お子さんを乗せているご家族も。スリル満点！もう戻ってーと思うほど時間も長くて大満足。バナナボートは4人で乗りました。バンパーチューブほどは難易度は高くないですが、潮風を感じられてザ・海のアクティビティ！シュノーケリングは自分のものでも、貸し出しを使用してもOK。えさをもらってゴープロで海を撮影しました。サップはインストラクターもいて、落ちても海なので安心！ハワイの海を大満喫できた時間でした。

I was looking forward to it! Sandbar.
There was a little incident on the way there, but I was overwhelmed by the scenery that made me forget all about it.

楽しみにしていた！サンドバー
行きの車ではハプニングがあったけど、それを払拭するほどの、光景に圧倒されたのしめました。

You drive a buggy through nature, navigating bumpy roads. There are areas with elevation changes that make it thrilling and exciting. Even when it rained, the sun quickly came out, allowing us to enjoy the changing weather.

自然の中をバギーで、デコボコ道を走ります。高低差のある所もあって、ハラハラ、ドキドキします。雨が降ってもすぐ晴れて天気の違いも楽しめました。

The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the activities. However, some people on the same bus were being excessively noisy both on the bus and on the boat, which made us uncomfortable. There are people who want to rest on the shared bus, and it was too loud, making it difficult for us to have conversations. I understand that it might be difficult to address this on the spot, so I would appreciate it if you could raise awareness about this in your guidelines or instructions.

スタッフは親切でアクティビティも楽しめました。ただ、同じバスの方たちがバスの中や船内で度を越えた騒ぎ方をしていて不快な気持ちになりました。乗り合いバスの中は、休みたい人もいますし、騒がし過ぎて、バスや、船内では。私達の会話もほとんどできませんでした。その場での注意は難しいと思いますので、注意事項などで喚起していただけますと幸いです。

Driving the buggy myself was so much fun! Since there were no other Japanese people besides our couple, I was a bit worried about my English, but we had an instructor for every four groups, and there was also a video explanation in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.

自分で運転するバギーは楽しすぎました！
私たちカップル以外に日本人がいなかったため、英語に不安がありましたが、4組に1人のインストラクターがつき、日本語の説明動画もあったので安心してツアーに参加できました。

For movie fans who want to experience a different side of Hawaii, I recommend this. I think you'll enjoy it even more if you understand English.

映画のファン、いつもと違うハワイを味わいたい方にはおすすめです。
英語がわかれば更に楽しめると思います。

Went early had breakfast - super easy check-in- very knowledgeable and helpful employees- great picture takers as well 😊 . Wish we had signed up for more. Well worth it. Enjoy!!

One in a Lifetime Experience with the most beautiful Views

My family does horseback riding, so I wanted to try it in Hawaii as well! This was my first experience riding, but even someone like me was able to ride for two hours without any trouble. For experienced riders, just walking might not be enough, but the scenery is amazing as you get to ride across vast lands that you wouldn't normally experience! I'm glad I went.

家族が乗馬をやっているのでハワイでも乗りたい！ということで行きました。私は乗馬初体験でしたが、こんな私でもトラブルなく無事2時間乗っていられました。経験者には歩くだけで物足りないかもしれませんが。しかし景色は普段味わえない広大な土地を歩くので最高です！行ってよかったです。

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.

思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。

It seems it rained in the morning, but when I rode, it was cloudy and neither too hot nor too cold, just perfect! I enjoyed it even more since I had prepared by watching Jurassic Park beforehand. The horses were all very well-behaved; they didn't flinch at all when the buggies passed by or when strong winds blew, and they were well-trained enough to stay calm even when close to each other, so I felt safe riding them! It was a pity that I couldn't catch everything because the English was too fluent, but the local guide, was it Koha? was really good at Japanese and even made jokes, which was entertaining!

朝は雨だったようですが私が乗るときは曇りで暑くもなく寒くもなく、ちょうど良かったです！
ジュラシックパークの予習をしてからいったのでより楽しめました♪
馬はみんなお利口でバギーが近くを走っても強風が吹いても全く動じないし、馬間が近くても怒らないしよくトレーニングされていて安心して乗れました！英語が流暢すぎて聞き取れなかったのは残念でしたが、現地のガイドのコアさん？だったかな？は日本語凄くうまくてジョークも言っていて面白かったです♪

The wait time before starting horseback riding was just under two hours, and it was also just under two hours from the end of the ride until the bus departure. Honestly, I got tired of waiting.

What was great was the view of the sea and the scenery leading to the canyon during the ride! You can enjoy the magnificent landscape from the horse's perspective. The horses were well-trained and stable throughout the ride.

乗馬開始迄の待ち時間が2時間弱、乗馬が終わってからバス出発までも2時間弱・・。正直、待ち疲れてしまいました。
良かったのは、乗馬で海が見えてから渓谷迄の景色！馬からの目線で雄大な景観を楽しめます。馬はよく慣らされており、終始安定してました。

Pretty place to go to once maybe twice, tide was up. So you basically are floating or walking on ocean floor

Not only was the buggy experience enjoyable, but it also provided a fantastic time that felt extraordinary and reminiscent of a scene from a movie, something you wouldn't see in Japan. There are very few activities in Japan that allow for such a long experience, so I was very satisfied. The guide was friendly and casually took photos for us, engaging in conversation with us, even though our English was not very good. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

バギー体験だけでなく、景色が日本では見られないような非日常的でいてその中で映画のワンシーンを思い出させてくれる最高に楽しい時間でした
日本ではこんなに長く体験できるアクティビティは少ないのでとても満足できました
ガイドさんもフレンドリーで気軽に写真を撮ってくれたりろくに英語もできない私たちにも楽しそうに会話してくださいました
楽しい体験ありがとうございました

It was high tide, so we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar, but we were able to enjoy the stunning sea! On the boat, they sang songs and served donuts and drinks, so we never got bored. For activities other than kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, we could swim without life jackets.

満潮の時だったので綺麗なサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、十分に綺麗な海を見ることができました！
船の中では歌を歌ってくれたりドーナツやドリンクもサービスされ、退屈することなく過ごせました。
カヤックやSUP以外のアクティビティであればライフジャケットはなしで泳ぐことができました。

I had been curious about the ATV experience at Kualoa Ranch for a while. After reading various reviews from others mentioning the dust, I found that it wasn't as bad as I expected when I actually tried it. Of course, I wore goggles and the free scarf they provided...

(By the way, the weather was clear both the day before and the day of the experience.)

The guide was very entertaining and spoke at a slow enough pace that I could understand the explanations in English with some effort. I was glad to hear a lot about Kualoa Ranch.

The experience lasted long enough that my husband and I could take turns driving and still have plenty of fun. The vast landscape was stunning, and it was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, which made me very satisfied! Next, I would like to try horseback riding.

以前から気になっていたクアロアランチのバギー体験。他の方の体験談をいろいろ拝見していると砂埃がすごいということでしたが実際体験してみるとそれほどでもなかったです。もちろんゴーグルと無料でもらえるスカーフをしてですが…
（ちなみに天気は前日当日共に快晴でした。）


ガイドの方がとても面白くて説明の英語も頑張ればなんとか分かるくらいのゆっくりめのスピードで話してくれ、クアロアランチの話をたくさん聞けて良かった。

体験時間も十分にあったので夫婦で交代して運転しても充分楽しめます。とにかく広大な大地で景色も素晴らしく日本では味わえない体験ができたのが大満足でした！
次は乗馬体験をしてみたいです。

I thought a relaxing tour at Kualoa Ranch would be nice, so I chose this option. You can experience the magnificent nature of Hawaii. Next, I think an ATV tour would be good as well.

クアロア・ランチのツアーの中でのんびりツアーも良いかなと思い、これを選択。ハワイの壮大な自然を感じる事が出来ます。次はバギーも良いかと思っております。

It might be good for off-road enthusiasts. It felt like driving through Japanese forest roads while visiting movie filming locations. Since I was at the back of the group, there was a lot of dust, but I was relieved to have a bandana as a mask.

オフロード好きにには良いかもしてない
日本の林道を走れながら映画のロケ地を見て周ってる感じでした
グループの最後尾を走っていたので砂ぼこりが凄かった　でもマスクがわりのバンダナがいただけるので安心でした　

For the Kailua Beach tour, I was advised to go to Lanikai first, and I followed that suggestion. It's about a 2-mile walk from the shop to Lanikai. Walking in the blazing sun with kids was tough. I planned to go to Lanikai in the morning and Kailua in the afternoon, but I barely managed to return from Lanikai and grab lunch.

However, Lanikai's beach was as beautiful as I saw on TV. The natural beach, different from Waikiki, was amazing. Next time, I want to try sea kayaking with my kids.

I will definitely go again!

カイルアビーチのツアーですが、ラニカイに先に行くことを勧められ、その通りに。ショップからラニカイまで片道2マイル位。炎天下を歩くのは、こどもを連れて歩くのは厳しかったです。午前ラニカイ→午後カイルアと予定しましたが、ラニカイから戻ってランチを貰うことで精いっぱい。
でも、ラニカイはテレビで見た通りに砂浜が綺麗。ワイキキとは違う天然ビーチは最高でした。今度は子供と一緒にシーカヤックにも挑戦したい、です。

また行きます‼

I had a two-hour horseback riding experience, but it actually lasted about an hour and a half. Before riding, I thought it might be long, but it was such a fun time that went by in a flash. The instructor, who spoke a little Japanese, stayed close by to guide us, which made me feel safe even as a beginner. I think I was able to have a unique experience while slowly progressing and enjoying the magnificent scenery. After the horseback riding, we had to wait nearly two hours for the departure of the return bus, which felt a bit like a waste of time... Since we had an early start, we passed the time by having an early lunch at the adjacent café. We participated as a couple in our 50s, and at that time, there were six of us in a group, riding in a line. I seemed to be the oldest, but I felt completely fine physically.

2時間の乗馬体験とありましたが、実際は1時間半ぐらいだったでしょうか、乗る前は長いかなぁ〜と思ってましたが、全然飽きないあっという間の楽しい時間でした。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターの方がずっとそばに付いて先導、もしくは後ろに付いてくれて初めてでも安心して乗れました。とにかく雄大な景色を眺めながらゆっくりと進んでくれてなかなか出来ない体験を出来たと思います。乗馬が終わった後、帰りのバスの出発まで2時間近く待ちの時間があったのが、少しもったいない気もしますが・・
朝早くの出発でしたので、隣接してるカフェで早めのお昼ごはんを食べたりして時間を潰しました。50代夫婦での参加でした、その時は6人１組で、一列に並んでの乗馬でどうやら一番年長でしたが、体力的には全然余裕でした。

This time we were blessed with great weather and had fun playing at a very beautiful sandbar. The staff were friendly and enjoyable, and the lunch hamburger was delicious!

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

今回はお天気に恵まれ、とても綺麗なサンドバーで遊べました。
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーで楽しく
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!

またハワイを訪れた際は参加したいと思いました。

ありがとうございました。

It was said to be a location tour, but I was very satisfied with just the magnificent mountain ranges and the cruise. The guide spoke English, and there were no issues at all.

ロケ地めぐりとのことでしたが、大自然の山並み、クルーズだけでも大変満足できました。
英悟でのガイドでしたが全く問題ありませんでした。

First of all, it was a lot of fun. The two hours flew by (including the explanations). The staff were friendly and entertained the participants with jokes. The explanations were fine since there was a Japanese video. Once we started running, there were some asphalt areas, but most of the route was unpaved, allowing us to run through nature, which felt great. There were also cows here and there, letting us enjoy the magnificent scenery. We stopped at several places for photo opportunities. It's a driving experience in a 4x4 that you can't have in Japan, and both the driver and passengers can enjoy it.

まずは楽しかったです。
あっという間の2時間でした(説明も含めて)
スタッフの方々も気さくで、ジョークを言いながら参加者を楽しませてくれました。
説明も日本語ビデオがあったので大丈夫です。走り出してからはアスファルトの所もありますが、ほとんどが整地されていなくて自然の中を走っていくのでとても気持ち良かったです。所々に牛などもいて壮大な自然を味わえます。何ヶ所か止まって写真撮影の時間があります。日本では味わえない四駆でのドライブ、ドライバーも同乗者も楽しめます。

If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely have to experience this! I highly recommend it! When it was over, my face was completely black, but that's also a good memory.

ハワイに行ったら絶対に体験してください！
お勧めです！
終わったとき、顔は真っ黒でしたがそれも良い思い出です。

It's a small attraction.
It was incredibly fun.
The scenery was great, and the staff were kind, making for a wonderful time.

ちょっとしたアトラクションです。
最高に楽しいです。
景色もよくて、スタッフの方も優しくて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
