I participated with my 7-year-old child. At the movie filming locations, the Japanese-speaking driver provided fun explanations while we toured the sites. The scenery was wonderful. Since I had only been around Waikiki before, I realized once again that this is also Hawaii.
It started to rain, and we wore raincoats. The jungle exploration was entirely in English. Unfortunately, my English isn't great, so I couldn't understand the explanations, but my child said this was the most fun part. It seemed like they enjoyed the bumpy ride.
The other activity also had explanations in Japanese after the English ones, which made me feel at ease participating. My child seemed to tire out and was a bit less energetic. Overall, everywhere you looked, there were magnificent and wild views, and it was a lot of fun.
7歳の子どもと参加しました。
映画ロケ地では日本語のドライバーさんが楽しく説明しながらロケ地めぐり。そしてその風景は素晴らしかったです。これまでワイキキ周辺しか行ったことがなかったので、これもハワイなんだなと改めて認識しました。
途中雨が降ってきてカッパ?を着ながら。
ジャングル探検はオール英語でした。残念ながら英語がダメなので説明がわかりませんでしたが、子どもはここが一番楽しかったと言ってました。車が揺れるのが良かったようです。
もう一つのアクティビティも英語の後に日本語で説明があり、安心して参加しました。子どもは疲れたのかトーンダウンしていましたが。
全体的にどこを切り取っても雄大な景色でワイルドで、楽しかったです。

When we actually started to see a little bit of activity. They turned back to port. Only saw a few blows and a little bit of the side of a whale. A big disappointment!! That should of been considered a no show and whale watch guarantee should have been applied

On January 30th, I had high hopes for the season, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. I didn't even see any dolphins. The weather was nice, and the cruise itself was good. If you don't see anything, it would be nice to have an option for the next ticket, as some people can go and some cannot, such as offering a "compensation gift."
1/30、時期的にも期待していたが、クジラは残念ながら見られなかった。イルカすら見られなかった。
天気がよく、クルーズ自体は良かった。
見られなかった場合の次の乗船券は行ける人と行けない人がいるので、選択制で「お詫びの品をあげる」等あると良いと思う。

I participated with two female friends. I had never been to Kualoa Ranch before, and initially thought about trying the popular zipline, but since there were only seven ziplines, I thought it might be boring if it ended too quickly, so I put that on hold. Next, I considered the popular buggy ride, but since there were no single seats available, and there would be a problem deciding who would drive if we took a five-person buggy, I also put that on hold. Ultimately, we chose the e-bike tour (2 hours, no kayaking, with a shuttle option). It turned out to be amazing! Here are the details.
The tour started at 12:30, and we gathered in front of the designated hotel at 10:20. Although we arrived early, the bus came just in time, which made me a little anxious. There were quite a few people going to Kualoa, so we were transported by a large bus (about a 50-minute ride), and I slept the whole way there and back. After arriving, we checked in at the ticket office, which was all in English. As others have mentioned in their reviews, there is over an hour of waiting time from check-in to the start of the tour, which can be a bit boring, but there were horses around, and the views were stunning, so we spent the time taking photos. There are rental lockers available, but they were full, so I recommend going with light luggage, just water, a card for emergencies, and a towel.
The e-bike is an electric bicycle, so once you start pedaling, it moves quite fast. It was easy to go up hills without needing to stand up. We rode on unpaved roads, gravel paths, and grass, which added a bit of thrill. We stopped at various points to take photos and rest, so the time flew by.
We were in a group of four with a Japanese couple. The guide spoke only English, but since we were all a young group, they played music loudly through the speakers, gave us snacks, and directed us on taking photos, making it a really fun experience. We passed by the buggy tour we had initially considered, but at the photo spots, the buggies were large and couldn't stop on the road with big groups, so they quickly drove off. Considering we could navigate through paths that felt like animal trails, I was glad we chose the e-bike.
The weather was great, and it felt wonderful to ride through the stunning scenery without getting our clothes dirty. Although the price is high, it's definitely an activity I would want to do again.
友人と女子2人で参加しました。
クアロア牧場にいったことがなく、当初は人気のジップラインにしようかと思っていましたがジップラインの数が7本のみとあったので、あっという間に終わったらつまらないと思い保留。
次にこれまた人気のバギーにしようかと思いましたが、1人乗りの空きが無いとあったので、5人乗りに2人で乗るとどっちが運転するか問題があるのでこれも保留。
最終的にe-bikeのツアー(2時間、カヤック無し、送迎オプションつき)にしました。結果、最高でした!以下詳細書いていきます。
12:30スタートのツアーで、朝は指定のホテル前にて10:20集合。時間前に行ったもののバスが来たのがぎりぎりだったのでちょっとだけ不安でした。クアロアに行く人がかなりいるので大型バスでの送迎です(およそ50分くらい)、行きも帰りもひたすら寝てました。到着してからチケットオフィスでの受付があります。ここでもすべて英語。他の方も口コミに書いてますが、受付からツアースタートまで待ち時間が1時間以上ありますのでちょっと退屈ですが、そこらへんに馬がいたり、とにかく絶景なので写真をとって過ごしていました。レンタルロッカーはありますが、埋まってるので、水と念のためのカード、タオル位の身軽な荷物でいくことをお勧めします。
e-bikeはいわゆる電動自転車なので踏み出すとかなりぐんぐん進みます。坂も立ちこぎもしなくても楽々すすめました。舗装されていない道、砂利道、草の上を進むので、結構スリルがあります。要所要所では、自転車を止めて撮影したり休憩もしつつだったのであっという間でした。
私たちは、日本人のカップルと4人でのグループでした。ガイドさんは英語のみですが、私たちが皆若いグループだったので、スピーカーで音楽をがんがんかけたり、お菓子くれたり、写真の撮影も色々指示してきたりと、とにかくノリノリで楽しかったです。
当初迷っていたバギーツアーと途中道ですれ違いましたが、写真スポットでもバギー自体が大きく大人数のグループで道に止めることができないからか、すぐ走って去っていたし、獣道みたいなところを進めるところも含め、やっぱりebikeにしてよかったなと。
天気も良く、服が汚れず、素晴らしい絶景の中を風をきって進むのはとにかく気持ちがよかったです。
値段が高いですが、またやりたいアクティビティです。

Kayaking doesn't take long to get used to, and there's no worry about falling! I didn't understand more than half of what was said in English during the guidance, but it was fun.
The mountain biking also allows for practice until you get used to it, which is reassuring. Since it has assistance, I didn't get tired at all. I was very satisfied to feel the great outdoors up close.
There's also a bus service to the ranch, so that's comforting.

Before departing from Japan, the weather forecast predicted cloudy rain, but it turned out to be sunny, as we say in Japan. The pick-up was smooth, and after boarding, we had a light snack while the captain gave an explanation. Then we had free time and went to the upper deck. After about 20 minutes, the captain announced that we were heading towards 1 o'clock, and we could see the spouting. After that, every 20 minutes or so, we were able to see the spouting and tails, and I was able to take photos with a telephoto lens. On the way back, we were also lucky enough to see dolphins. The boat accommodated 1,500 people, and I didn't feel much rocking, so it was comfortable. The upper deck can be quite windy and chilly, so having a windbreaker would be a good idea.
日本出発前は、曇り雨予報でしたが、結局は、日本でいう晴れでした。送迎もスムーズで、乗船後、軽食を採りながら船長の説明があった後、フリーとなり、屋上デッキへ。20分くらいして船長から1時の方向とアナウンスがあり、潮吹きが見えました。その後も20分くらい置きに、潮吹き、尻尾を見ることができ、望遠レンズで写真も撮れました。帰りには、イルカも見ることが出来、ラッキーでした。船も1500人乗りで、揺れもそんなに感じること無く快適でした。屋上は、風が強く肌寒いので、ウインドブレーカーがあるといいです。

After arriving at the airport, passengers using Hawaiian Airlines were allowed to disembark first, but unfortunately, I was dropped off at the wrong terminal. Despite having indicated that I was on an international flight when I booked, I was let off at the domestic terminal. Fortunately, I was helped by a Hawaiian Airlines staff member who spoke Japanese, but I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn't had enough time to make my connection.

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.
For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).
I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.
The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!
港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした(酔い止め薬は必須かと思います)
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見!30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです!

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.
VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking.

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.
We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.
If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.
One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.
From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.
ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。1度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で 100ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。2回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

Last time I used the individual exit, but this time it was the group exit. I wonder if the airport facilities have changed? The group exit felt a bit like the individual exit. I was able to board without any issues, so I look forward to using it again next time!
前回まで個人出口だったのですが、今回は団体出口でした。なんだか空港内の設備が変わったのか?団体出口が個人出口っぽい感じになっていました。問題なく乗車できたので、次回もまたお願いします!

I was able to stop by Ala Moana, so as soon as I arrived, I could go shopping. There is a lounge at Ala Moana where I could store my luggage, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so it was great to be able to ask various questions from the first day.
アラモアナにも立ち寄ることが出来たので、ついてすぐ、ショッピングできました。アラモアナにラウンジがあるので、荷物を預かってもらうことができたし、日本語ができるスタッフもいて、初日からいろいろ聞けてよかったです。
