We had a wonderful time at de Kualoa Ranch. We chose The mountain , the valley and Secret Island! All these activities were great for all of us!
The Ranch is totally amazing and beautiful itself, the activities make it even more awesome! !!!!

We love it!

Had an awesome time, food was good, entertainment was good....would do it again in a heartbeat! I would recommend this cruise to everyone whose going to be in honolulu.

It's been a while since I visited North Shore. In the town of Wailea, the garlic shrimp at Camaron was very delicious. Horseback riding was a one-hour experience that flew by, even while being tossed around by "Buster" (the horse's name) who wouldn't listen to anything I said, all while enjoying the beautiful ocean view.

久しぶりのノ－スショア。ワイレアの町ではカマロンでのガーリックシュリンプがとてもおいしかったです。乗馬は、美しい海を見ながら、何も言うこと聞かない「バスタ－君」（馬の名前）に翻弄されながらもアッという間の１時間乗馬でした。

It was me and my husbands anniversary and head a great time on the dinner cruise. The all you can eat crab was great :)

When you think of Oahu, you probably picture Waikiki Beach and the surrounding resorts, creating a strong image of the ocean. However, if you venture an hour outside of Waikiki, you'll encounter a different space at Kualoa Ranch. I've been to Hawaii many times, but I only knew the typical tourist spots. The mountains are towering and incredibly beautiful! You can enjoy activities like horseback riding and ATV rides, making it fun for both adults and children, so definitely give it a try!

オアフと言えばワイキキビーチに周辺のリゾートを思い浮かべ海のイメージが強いと思いますが
ワイキキから1時間郊外にでるとクアロア牧というまた違った空間に出会えます。
何度もハワイには行きましたが定番の観光地しか知りませんでした。山がそびえてとてもきれいです！乗馬や四輪バギーなど大人も子供も楽しめますので是非行ってみてください！

This cruise was great. The food was good, the entertainment outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu. I also liked walking around outside and seeing the island from the sea. It's a little pricey, but worth it.

My sister and I wanna say thank you all at big chief's luau. First luau ever and we had a blast. So glad I had chosen Big Chief's. By far the best even though I'd had never been to another. The family oriented feeling you received you felt as if you had known them longer then you had. The food and entertainment was awesome. Not to mention the lesson in life to learn from . Teaching cultures and hawaii traditions was special. much love to the crew at Big chief's for making us feel so welcome. I would recommend to anyone I know. Even the bus tour guides was top stars.

Food was great, service was great, show and dancers was awesome, views of Honolulu and fireworks perfect!!

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I participated in this activity because I could experience horseback riding. While enjoying the North Shore, including the Dole Plantation and the town of Haleiwa, I took a 45-minute horseback ride along the coast. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were adorable, and I was able to enjoy nature.

8/1…何度か来てるハワイでしたが、乗馬が体験できるので、こちらのアクティビティに参加しました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワの街など、ノースショアを満喫しながら、海岸を乗馬で45分間散策しました。
景色は綺麗だし、馬は可愛いし、自然の中で楽しむことができました。

Two years ago, I participated in the "Manoa Falls Hiking Tour" and had a great experience, so this time I wanted to try a different tour and chose this one. In addition to wanting to enjoy the tropical rainforest, I also hoped to see the introduced and now wild Madara Yadokugaeru (poison dart frog) and Jackson's chameleon if possible.

I had some concerns about not having a Japanese guide, but I thought it would be fine and decided to join. Besides me, there was a group of three from California. The guide was a local named Terry.

When we arrived and I mentioned wanting to see the Madara Yadokugaeru and Jackson's chameleon, Terry seemed a bit surprised but said, "I think the Madara Yadokugaeru is probably here. The chameleon is around, but it's slow-moving and hard to spot."

The destination was actually near Manoa Valley, and although the route and the waterfall were different from the Manoa Falls trekking, it was quite similar. I thought this course was a bit narrower and steeper, making it more challenging, but it was by no means a difficult course.

Terry provided detailed explanations not only about the names of the plants but also their origins and the history of Hawaii's vegetation. However, since he spoke completely in native English, it might be a bit challenging to understand (^_^;)

And happily, a boy in our group found the Madara Yadokugaeru, and we were able to take pictures of it! Because I made a somewhat niche request at the beginning, both the guide and the other participants helped look for it.

There was a sense of accomplishment when we reached the waterfall, and above all, I was thrilled to finally see the poison dart frog, so I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the Jackson's chameleon, but I felt it was worth participating.

　2年前に「マノア滝ハイキングツアー」に参加してなかなか良かったので、今回は違うツアーに…と思ってこのツアーを選びました。
　熱帯雨林の自然を満喫したいというのに加えて、出来たらハワイに移入されて野生化しているマダラヤドクガエルとジャクソンカメレオンの姿を見てみたい希望もあったのです。
　日本語ガイドでないというので一抹の不安はありましたが、まあ何とかなるだろうと思って参加しました。
　僕の他にはカリフォルニアから来た母子３人組。ガイドはテリーさんと言うハワイ生まれの方でした。
　現地に着いて「マダラヤドクガエルとジャクソンカメレオンが見たい。」と言うと流石にちょっと驚いた風情でしたが、「マダラヤドクガエルは多分いると思うよ。カメレオンはいるにはいるが、動きがゆっくりしていて見つけづらいんだ。」と言ってくれました。
　目的地は実はマノア渓谷の近くで、マノア滝トレッキングとはルートも目的の滝も違うものの、よく似たコースです。今回のコースの方がちょっと狭くて勾配も強く、難易度が高いかなと思いますが、決して厳しいコースではありません。
　テリーさんは、植物の名前だけでなく、由来、更にはハワイの植生の歴史まで丁寧に説明してくれました。ただ、完全にネイティブ・イングリッシュなので、聴き取って理解するのはちょっと大変かもしれません(^_^;)
　そして、嬉しい事にマダラヤドクガエルを同行者の男の子が見つけてくれ、写真に収める事が出来たのです！
　冒頭にマニアックな発言をしたものだから、ガイドさんだけでなく、同行者も一緒になって探してくれたおかげです。
　滝に辿り着いた時の達成感もありましたし、何と言っても念願のヤドクガエルを見られたのだから、大満足です。残念ながらジャクソンカメレオンは見つけられませんでしたが、参加してよかったと思っています。

Leo our driver was absolutely amazing , full of interesting facts about beautiful Hawaii , always patient and happy . The only reason I didn't give 5 Stars is the traffic , at times it was horrendous !! Luckily Leo took our mind off it with sometimes Hawaiian music sometimes quirky information,never boring , thank you

This tour focuses on horseback riding, but you can also stop by the Dole Plantation (for about an hour) and do some sea turtle watching (for about 10 minutes) along the way. However, since these are just side stops, you might not want to expect too much from them. The main horseback riding experience was great for beginners, as they teach you from scratch. The terrain was surprising, as I didn't know there were such forested areas in Hawaii. However, the driver, who was with us the longest, could speak Japanese but didn't talk much, so the hospitality was a bit lacking... Everyone seemed to be sleeping during the ride.

*Note: The horseback riding can get quite muddy, so make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.*

乗馬をメインとしたツアーですが移動途中にDoleプランテーション（滞在1時間）やウミガメ（滞在10分）ウォッチングなどもできます。でも飽くまでついでに寄るくらいなのであまり期待しない方がいいかも。メインの乗馬は一から教えてくれるので初心者向けで面白かったです。地形もハワイにこんなところがあったのかと思うような森の中を進みます。ただ一番長い間一緒にいるドライバーのお兄さんが日本語は話せるけどあまりしゃべらない人でホスピタリティについてはビミョー。。みんな移動中は寝てましたね。

※乗馬では足元が結構ドロドロなので汚れても良い格好で行きましょう。

Me and my partner was really feels great for our tour... Thank you so much for giving us a Great day for our tour... Most specially for giving us a wonderful and hospitable tour guide Dennis... He was so brilliant and accomodating he really cares for your customer and guided us properly with care.. He teaches us sooo many lessons about Hawaii and we learned a lot... Thank u sooo much Dennis... He needs a pay rise for being so wonderful to your customers All in all we give u 100 % rating Mahalo until our next tour

Riding on the back of a slowly walking horse while gazing at the beautiful sea was truly enjoyable. It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to get on easily without feeling scared. I think the horse was quite old, so I felt grateful for the ride and hoped it would do its best to walk, but I was just so happy to have my first horseback riding experience. My husband said that a shorter time would have been fine, but I wanted to go riding for the same amount of time every day. As for clothing, I thought that as long as I wore sturdy footwear (like sneakers), it would be fine, just like when sightseeing.

ゆっくりと歩く馬の背中に乗り、とってもキレイな海を眺めながらの時間は本当に楽しかったです。馬に乗るのは初めてだったのですが、怖い思いもせず、簡単に馬の背中に乗れました。たぶん、かなり高齢の馬だと思ので、乗せてくれてありがとうございます、頑張って歩いてくださいねって感じもありましたが、私は初乗馬が嬉しいばかりでした。主人は、もっと短い時間でも良いと言いましたが、私は同じ時間ぐらいを毎日でも乗りに行きたかったです。服装は足元さえしっかりしたもの(スニーカー等)を履いていれば、他の観光するときと同じで大丈夫だなと思いました。

Both hikes were fantastic! My grandson enjoys hiking and loved both experiences. He especially enjoyed the Manoa Falls Trail hike. The sky was overcast and we got rained on several times, but that just added to the experience! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!

There were few Japanese participants, and both on the bus and during the show, an interesting guy talked a lot, so it was tough if you didn't understand English to some extent. My parents in their 70s, who went with me, couldn't enjoy it and ended up dozing off. There were various activities before the show, and participating in them was really fun. The food was quite good for a luau show buffet. The hula dance only took up a small portion of the show and the quality wasn't that high. The highlight was the fire dance performed by a large group. It was a luau show where you could feel the atmosphere of both America and Hawaii throughout.

日本人の参加は少なく、バスの中もショーの中でも面白いおじさんが喋りまくる、時に話しかけられるので、英語がある程度わからないと厳しいです。一緒に行った70代の両親は楽しめず、居眠りしてました。。ショーの前に色々なactivityがあり、参加してみるととても楽しかったです。食事はルアウショーのビュッフェにしては美味しかったです。ショーの中でフラが占める割合はほんの少しで、それほどクオリティも高くないです。圧巻だったのは大人数でのファイヤーダンスでした。アメリカとハワイの空気を随所に感じるルアウショーでした。

This is truly worth more than the price!! I think so, and I will definitely come again next time! Haha. Since it's such a far place that we can't go on our own, there were really a lot of people who took the tour bus! But the bus is comfortable! The movie village tour was really great! I highly recommend it! I want to go again! That scenery is just the best! If my child were older, and if I weren't pregnant, I would want to do the buggy tour next time! Also, Secret Island was amazing! Even though the sea was polluted due to the hurricane, it was still satisfying! So I will come back for a revenge trip to Secret Island! On the island, you can enjoy activities like beach volleyball, table tennis, kayaking, and surfing, all for free! My child enjoyed kayaking! I was just swaying in the hammock! It's a place where just being there feels amazing. They even let my child ride a horse lightly! There are many staff members who can speak Japanese, and everyone is kind! They are really gentle with children too! So I am truly satisfied, and I will definitely come again! Next time, I will enjoy the beautiful sea!

これは本当に値段以上に価値があります！！
と私は思いますし、また絶対次回も来ます！笑
自分達で行けないくらい遠い場所な為かツアーでバスに乗った人は本当に大勢！でもバスは快適です！映画村ツアー本当によかった！本当にオススメ！また行きたい！あの景色は本当最高！子供が大きかったら、、私が妊婦じゃなかったらバギーツアーにしたいな！次は！あとシークレットアイランド最高！ハリケーンの影響で海が汚染されていたのに大満足するくらいいい！だからリベンジしてまたシークレットアイランドに来ます！島でハンモックに揺られてビーチバレーや卓球、カヤック、サーフィン等、好きな遊びをもちろん無料で！子供はカヤック楽しんでました！私はハンモックに揺られてました！空間に居るだけで最高！って思えるよーな場所です。
子供を軽く馬に乗せてもくれました！日本語話せるスタッフも多いーし、スタッフもみんな優しい！子供にも本当に優しい！だから本当に満足だし、また絶対にきます！
今度は綺麗な海で楽しみます！

Great food, excellent view. Wonderful entertainment! Worth the price.

We really enjoyed our tour. We were given a good amount of time to explore each area. Would have like a little more time on the Missouri. Loved the information all the history. Highly recommended.

Awesome awesome service. I booked a charter motor coach to take my herd of 15 people from Waikiki to Aulani. There were two pickup locations at Waikiki. Motor coach arrived early, picked us all up and brought us to Aulani safely. Driver was very nice. Plenty of room for our luggage.

Had a wonderful time. Great family time. The Friday cruise was spectacular because of the fireworks. I would recommend this to family and friends.

Our driver -Keow (certainly misspelled)--made the day. Picked up promptly from our hotel---the days schedule was laid out for us. Pearl Harbor is a solemn and reverent place. We did the USS Missouri tour also---excellent. Keow (?) was fantastic---he was knowledgeble and funny and entertaining. He even sang some Elvis---pretty well too! Pearl Harbor is an amazing place---they do a great job . Great day--great company.

Car was on time but itinerary outlined the day before with the Veltra rep was not communicated to the driver. The first stop was Diamond Head overlook. Car wouldn't start when we were ready to leave. Apparently we were out of gas. Had to wait > 30 min for someone to bring a gallon of gas. We then had to find a gas station to finish filling the car with fuel. The gas station was not on out agreed upon route. Driver was born / raised on the island and once we navigated the car issues there were some interesting facts he shared with us. It was so unfortunate the fuel issue ruined what could have been the bow on what was a great visit to Hawaii.

The views were outstanding. The food was very good, and the entertainment was excellent. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone traveling to this location.

Best tour of the trip this time . Walk to the manoa waterfalls, rainy and muddy . Full of fun! Remember to bring the insects repellent. Walking sticks from the tour company really help a lot!

This tour was above and beyond what we hope it would be. We saw a scene being filmed right away! The access to locations was impressive. The knowledge of the tour guides could not be better. Take this tour!!

We stayed in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and this was attended the night of our very anniversary and all I can say is that the Luau was amazing. When everyone celebrating and anniversary was asked to go on stage, given flowers, torches came out and they shut off the lights and had the couples dance under the stars, it made our night. We could not have asked for a better experience. We had a great time, the staff was amazing and the event was more awesome than I could have ever anticipated. Highly recommend.

The tour bus picked us up at our hotel on time and were very friendly. He provided us with local information along the way. The hikes at both Diamond head and Manoa Falls were spectacular. This tour is one that can't be missed!

I reserved a 5-course meal at Celebration. The dining areas are on the 1st to 3rd floors, and we had a window-side seat on the 3rd floor! During the meal, we could freely go out to the hallway or the rooftop to take pictures and enjoy the view. It was amazing to see a rainbow, watch the sunset, and enjoy the Independence Day fireworks. Towards the end of the meal, we watched a dance show, and at the end, everyone in the audience danced together. It was fun from the moment we boarded the cruise until we disembarked. We also received photos as a gift, which made for a great keepsake!

セレブレーションの5コースを予約しました。
1〜3階が食事をする階で私たちは3階の窓側の席でした！
食事中は自由に廊下や屋上に出て写真を撮ったりゆっくり景色を眺めたりできました。
虹が出たり、サンセットを眺めたり、独立記念日の花火をみたりと最高でした。
食事の終盤にはダンスショーをみたり最後は観客みんなで踊ったりと、クルーズに乗ってから降りるまで終始楽しかったです。
写真もプレゼントされ良い記念になりました！

It was absolutely great! Service and entertainment was awesome! The views and sunset was breathtaking, and to end the night with fireworks was more than what we could ask for. I would definitely bring my family on this cruise again!
