Oahu
There were various tours available, but this e-bike tour had about 15 participants in total.
On the day of the tour, it was raining and the roads were bad, which made me quite anxious. However, the guides were there to support us from the front and back, so I was able to ride with peace of mind.
I felt there were a few more hills than expected, but with the electric bike, it felt like it was pushing me along, and I could easily pedal up the hills, making it very comfortable!
The tour included visits to about five movie filming spots. While participants on other bus tours were taking photos from inside the vehicle, we were able to get off at each location during the e-bike tour and take pictures, which was a great aspect of this experience.
Additionally, we were able to navigate narrow paths and climb hills unique to the e-bike tour, leading to spots with stunning views, which was fantastic.
I wish the weather had been better, though. My clothes and shoes ended up soaking wet and covered in mud. (laughs)
But that was also part of the fun, so it was all good!
The guides were very friendly and actively encouraged us to take photos, so I think you'll really enjoy it!
様々なツアーがありましたが、こちらのeバイクツアーは全員で15名ほどでした。
当日は雨で道が悪くとても不安でしたが、
ガイドさんが前後についてサポートしてくれるので
安心して乗ることが出来ました。
坂道が少し多い印象でしたが
電動自転車が押してくれるような感覚で
軽く漕いだだけで登れるので
とても楽チンでした!!
ツアー内容は5箇所ほどの
映画撮影スポットを巡るものでしたが
ほかのバスツアーの方々は車内から撮影していましたが
eバイクツアーでは各所で降車して
写真撮影することができたので
その点がとても良かったです。
また、eバイクツアーならではの
細道や坂道を登ったりして
景色一望できるスポットなどもあり
とても良かったです。
天気が良ければもっとよかったな~と思います。
実際服も靴もびしゃびしゃで
泥まみれになりました。笑
それも楽しかったので良かったです!
ガイドの方々もとても気さくで
写真撮影なども進んで行ってくれるので
とても楽しめると思います!
Well organised excursion to see the Arizona Memorial with sightseeing of Honolulu surroundings. There was also an option to add on more to this trip eg the Missouri ship. A little more time at the Pearl Harbour centre would have been better, however the short time at the actual Arizona Memorial was as per the rules of the memorial, and not set by the tour itself. The film before the trip to the actual memorial was excellent. I am mobility impaired and was using a walker, and found my needs amply catered for, and was made to feel valued and welcome.
Upon entering the restaurant, I received a cute headpiece that made me feel like a princess. We were also served a bottle of sparkling wine and enjoyed various cocktails. The food was delicious as well. We were able to enjoy live music and Hawaiian dance too. It became a wonderful memory for New Year's Eve!
レストランに入るとかわいいかぶり物を頂き,気持ちはお姫様気分,スパークリングワインもボトルでサービスされ,他にカクテルも楽しみました。お料理も美味しかったです。ライブ演奏,またハワイアンダンスも楽しめました。
年越しの良い思い出になりました!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. Please come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

お楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。
是非またお越し下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
スターオブホノルル
Thank you for your assistance this time.
I suddenly decided to book a tour just two days later. I appreciate how kindly you responded to my last-minute request.
Everyone in our group was a beginner at horseback riding, and we had an 11-year-old child and a 73-year-old mother with us, so I was a bit anxious. However, they explained how to ride in detail beforehand, and surprisingly, it went quite smoothly! It was incredibly fun.
Above all, our guide, Kazuchan, was very kind! Thank you very much!
I will definitely book an optional tour with you again next time.
この度はお世話になりました。
急に思い立ち、2日後のツアーを申し込みました。その後こちらの無理な依頼にも親切に対応して下さって感謝しています。
全員乗馬は初心者で、11歳の子供と73歳になる母もいましたので少し不安はありましたが、乗り方も事前に詳しく教えてくれましたので、案外スムーズに乗れました!最高に楽しかったです。
何よりガイドのかずちゃんさんがとても親切でした!ありがとうございました!
また次回もこちらの方でオプショナルツアーを申し込みます。
The driver's explanation was easy to understand, and I had a fun horseback riding experience! It was a very fulfilling day. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate in the canyon tour! Places I visited:
* Coffee Farm
* Dole
* Alii Beach
* Haleiwa Town free time
* Beach horseback riding
* Nut Farm
ドライバーさんの説明もわかりやすく
楽しい乗馬の時間を過ごせました!
とても充実した1日でした。
ありがとうございました。
今度は、溪谷ツアーに参加してみたいです!
行ったところ。
*コーヒーファーム
*Dole
*アリイビーチ
*ハレイワタウン自由行動
*海辺乗馬
*ナッツファーム
Make sure to bring plenty of water! I think it's best to have at least 500ml per person! Wear sneakers and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and bring a towel to wipe off sweat. Don't forget sun protection if you don't want to get sunburned! Even though there was assistance, I felt it was quite a tough tour. I had been eating a lot of heavy food during the trip, so I thought, "This is good exercise!" The guide was creative and made it exciting, and we were able to take many great photos at the shooting points! Other activities looked really fun too, so I definitely want to go again!
必ず水分を持って行って下さい!
1人500ml以上はあった方がいいと思います!
汚れてもいいスニーカー服装と汗ふくタオル
日焼けしたくない人は対策忘れずに!
アシスト付きとはいえ
まぁまぁタフなツアーだと感じました。
旅行中ボリューミーなものばかり食べて居たので
いい運動!と頑張りました。
引率の方が工夫して盛り上げてくれて
撮影場所のポイントでいい写真がたくさん撮れました!
他のアクティビティもとても楽しそうだったのでまた行きたいと思います!!
Chief's Luau was such a fun experience. The chief was such a funny person and made me laugh the entire time during the luau. The show was very intriguing, the Chief likes to have the audience take part in the show which made the experience personal. The weather was great the day I went so there was no rain at all which helped make the experience more enjoyable. The food was okay it wasn't something extraordinary but it was still good. My favorite part of the luau was when the chief had a special segment where he recognizes couples on their honeymoon and couples who have been married for a long time. The chief also helped someone propose to his love. He really acknowledges family and makes sure that everyone has a good time while they are at the luau. I would definitely recommend this luau to families and couples.
They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.
The horseback riding experience was very enjoyable. Since I was a beginner, I thought the duration was just right. Additionally, because of the horseback riding experience, I feel that if I had a bit more time, I could have enjoyed shopping in Haleiwa even more. Thank you very much.
乗馬体験は、大変楽しかったです。初心者でしたので時間もちょうどよいと思いました。なお、乗馬体験があったため、ハレイワの町散策は、もう少し時間があれば、よりショッピングを楽しめたか思います。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating. We also appreciate your feedback.
ご参加ありがとうございました。ご意見も感謝致します。
I would definitely recommend the Five Star package if you're having trouble deciding which package to choose from! It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!
Last year, I participated in a tour with VELTRA during my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and it was so great that I decided to book again this time. At the request of my friend who accompanied me, we chose horseback riding. Since I had already experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, we opted for the beach horseback riding this time. I was told that beach horseback riding is recommended during this season as it is less affected by the weather compared to valley riding. On the way there, it started to rain, which made me worry, but while we were outside, we didn't need to use umbrellas and were able to fully enjoy the horseback riding. We even got to see sea turtles. Unlike the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, there isn't a place to store your belongings, so it's recommended to carry a bag for valuables that you can take with you while riding. When using a tour again, I will definitely use VELTRA.
昨年のハワイ島旅行の時にもVELTRAさんのツアーに参加し、とても良かったので、今回も申し込みさせて頂きました。
同行した友人のリクエストで乗馬を選択、クアロアランチ乗馬は経験済みだったので、こちらの海辺乗馬にしました。
この季節は渓谷乗馬より海辺乗馬が天候に左右されづらくお勧めとのこと。行きの車の中では雨が降ってきて心配しましたが、外に出ている間は傘をさすこともなく、乗馬も満喫できました。
ウミガメにも会うことができました。
クアロアランチの乗馬と違って、荷物を預けるところがないので、貴重品バッグは乗馬しながら持てるものがお勧めです。
ツアー利用の際には、またVELTRAさんを利用させて頂きます。
Thank you for participating. We look forward to your next visit. Please be sure to try the canyon course.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
次回のご利用お待ちしております。是非渓谷コースにトライして下さい。
My third time at the Luau and they never fail to impress me!
Family is very important to me, values, and life lessons, and every time I see their show, I always feel inspired and this time, I decided to bring my husband with me so he can experience the same. Chief's life story is so touching, and I love how he shares it with the guests. As always, Chief is very entertaining from the beginning to end, always full of laughers! The Polynesian Show, and the fire knife dance, superb!! Incomparable! Aaahhhmazing!!
I participated alone because I wanted to see the filming locations. First of all, there was way too much free time, making it tough for a solo participant. I give it one star for being a solo experience, but even if there were two people, the rating would still be questionable.
I had to listen to the same explanations multiple times, and the jungle tour was guided by a foreigner, so I couldn't understand anything they were saying. They endlessly explained Hawaii's history in English, which wasn't enjoyable at all.
It's just a tour of a vast ranch. Regarding the cinema tour, the bus stops at each filming spot for a photo session with each group. We had to line up until it was our turn to take pictures, and even if we wanted to move on, we couldn't. It was tough for a solo participant.
What is this? An Instagram-worthy tour? I thought to myself. It might be a good tour for those who want to take Instagram-worthy photos, even if it costs a lot.
In any case, I won't go again. I would have preferred to just hang out at Waikiki Beach.
映画のロケ地が見たくて1人で参加しました。
まず、空き時間が多すぎなので1人参加にはキツイ時間です。1人参加なので星1ですが、2人参加だったとしても、評価としては微妙ですね。
同じ説明を何度も聞いたり、ジャングルツアーは外人さんのガイドなので何言っているか、まったくわかりません。ハワイの歴史をひたすら英語で説明されたり、楽しくはありませんでした。
ただただ広い牧場を回るツアーです。
シネマツアーに関しては撮影スポットのたびにバスを止めて1グループごとに撮影会を行います。撮影が回ってくるまで列で並ばされ、先に進みたくても行けず、1人参加には辛いものです。
何これ?インスタ映えツアーか?
って思うツアーです。高いお金を払ってもインスタ映えがしたい人には良いツアーかもしれません。
とりあえず二度と行きません。こんなことなら、ワイキキビーチで遊んでたら良かった。
Tour with pickup service.
Colored wristbands are distributed at check-in according to the participating activities.
A guide who speaks Japanese will accompany us to a Croatian lunch.
We arrived in about 45 minutes.
Since there was about an hour until the tour check-in, we spent time walking around the souvenir shop and the ranch.
There is also a break area with a solid menu, including light snacks like sandwiches and drinks, so it could be a good time for breakfast.
After checking in for the bike tour, we put on helmets.
Ponchos for rain protection were also available in the same location.
Once all participants have checked in, we watch a bike handling instruction video.
The video is entirely in English, and the bike tour guide also spoke only English.
I felt a bit anxious about the explanations in English regarding gear changes, but we can practice a bit before the tour starts, which helps.
Since we ride mainly on mountain paths and gravel roads, it might feel a bit uneasy until you get used to it.
The ride lasts exactly two hours from start to finish.
However, there will be a photo time along the way.
The guide will take pictures for you, so if you hand over your camera or smartphone, you can get great photos with the beautiful scenery, whether you're participating alone or with a partner!
Everyone's attire varied.
Men wore tank tops or T-shirts with shorts.
Women wore long-sleeved shirts or T-shirts with leggings or long pants.
Everyone had sneakers on.
Since mud can splash, your feet may get dirty.
There are lockers available, but it's better to bring less.
A small shoulder bag or waist pouch that can hold a wallet, phone (camera), towel, and drink is recommended.
If you bring a backpack, you will sweat a lot on your back, so it's better to avoid that if possible.
After the tour, we had just under two hours until the return bus, so we had lunch at the break area.
The break area can get very crowded with other tour participants and those joining in the afternoon, so there may not be enough seating available.
送迎付きツアー。
受付時に参加アクティビティ別に色付きのリストバンドが配布されます。
日本語可能のガイドさんとクロアチアランチへ。
おおよそ45分程で到着。
ツアー受付まで約1時間程あった為、敷地内お土産売り場や牧場内を散歩し時間を潰しました。
休憩所もあり、しっかりとしたメニューからサンドイッチなどの軽食、ドリンクなどもあるので朝ご飯の時間にしても良いかと思います。
バイクツアー受付後、ヘルメットを装着。
雨具になるポンチョも同じ場所に置いてありました。
ツアー参加者の受付が終わるとバイクの取扱説明ビデオを見ます。
全て英語での映像です。バイクツアーガイドさんも英語のみでした。
ギアチェンジなど英語での説明だったので少々不安でしたが、ツアー出発前に少し試し乗りが出来るので、その時に練習が出来ます。
基本山道、砂利道を走るので慣れるまでは少し不安になるかも知れません。
スタートから終了まで、ぴったり2時間走ります。
が、途中写真タイムを設けてくれます。
ガイドさんが、写真を撮ってくれるのでカメラやスマートフォンなど手渡しすれば1人参加でもペア参加でも素晴らしい景色を背に写真が撮れます!
服装はそれぞれでした。
男性の方はタンクトップやTシャツに半ズボン。
女性の方は長袖シャツやTシャツにスパッツや長ズボン。
皆さんスニーカーでした。
泥が跳ねるので足元が汚れます。
荷物は、ロッカーがありますが少ない方がよろしいかと。
財布・携帯(カメラ)・タオル・飲物が入るサイズの小さなショルダーやウエストポーチが良いかと。
リュックサックだと、背中に汗を物凄くかいてしまうので、なるべくなら避けたほうが良いかと思います。
ツアー後、帰りのバスまで2時間弱あったので、昼ごはんを休憩所で済ませました。
他のツアーの方や午後から参加の方などで、休憩所が非常に混む為、座席に余裕がない場合があります。
I got caught in a huge traffic jam, but it turned out to be a satisfying tour. I felt that it would have been nice if we had about 30 more minutes at the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town. Although I couldn't see any sea turtles at Alii Beach, I was glad to encounter one during the horseback riding experience. Perhaps because of the heavy traffic? The horseback riding was a private experience for my husband and me, which was really lucky. The horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them, and the time flew by. If I have the chance, I would like to join this tour again.
大渋滞に巻き込まれましたが満足なツアーとなりました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンはあと30分くらいずつ時間が長ければ嬉しいなと感じました。
アリービーチではウミガメを見ることは出来ませんでしたが、乗馬体験時にウミガメと遭遇することが出来て良かったです。
大渋滞のおかげか?乗馬体験は夫婦で貸し切り状態で凄くラッキーでした。
馬も大人しくて安心して乗れたし、あとっと言う間の時間でした。
また機会があればこのツアーに参加したいです。
We were picked up and warmly greeted by our guide/driver Brandon. Brandon’s in-depth knowledge of Honolulu, it’s history and it present day culture, to include the building murals, is wonderful. This just attests to the time spent studying these subjects. Being former military, his narration of the Punch Bowl and it significance both in history and present day was outstanding. Before our arrival at Pearl Harbor, Brandon setup the morning of Dec 7 will great background information, that would not normally be known unless you are a history buff. Then on to Pearl Harbor, where we were turned over to the Park Service and the Navy. A very informational presentation and lots of background
and answers for any questions. The time spent was wonderful with tons of information to be gleaned. Time was well managed, the route and schedule were well planned and the experience was great.
I was a bit anxious because I participated with someone who is not very familiar with English, but it seemed that many staff members understood Japanese, so there were no problems at all. For transfers and meals during the tour, you can manage just by following the flow of people.
Even if you get lost, it felt like someone would help you out if you were wandering around with your voucher. Since it's likely a space with only employees and tourists, there shouldn't be any danger of petty crime. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Jurassic Park is great, but I think you'll enjoy it even more if you watch the new "Jumanji" that was released recently before going, as it really feels like stepping into that world!
英語に不慣れな二人で参加したので不安だったのですが、日本語の分かる方が多く働いているようで、何も問題ありませんでした。ツアー間の移動や食事なども、人の流れについていけばなんとなく済ませられます。
もし迷ってしまっても、バウチャーを持ってウロウロしていれば誰かがなんとかしてくれそうな雰囲気でした。
おそらく従業員と観光客しかいない空間なので、軽犯罪などの危険もないでしょう。ほのぼのとした感じです。
ジュラシックパークも良いですが、近年公開された新しい「ジュマンジ」を見てから行くと、まさにそのままの世界なので、楽しめると思います!
★About the Movie Location Tour
- I recommend sitting on the right side of the bus as there were many more photo opportunities from that side. The guide provided explanations about Kualoa Ranch and the movie locations while we rode the bus, and we visited various filming points.
- At one point, we got off the bus to recreate the scene where characters hide from a herd of dinosaurs behind a fallen tree from Jurassic Park, and the guide took photos for us. They creatively used dinosaur figures to create interesting perspectives in the photos.
- Additionally, at the site of the air raid shelter, we were able to touch bones used in the movie and take photos inside the vehicle used for filming Jurassic Park. It was great to take pictures with realistic dinosaur robots and the King Kong set.
- During our visit, we had a Japanese guide, but I'm not sure if that is always the case.
★About the Jungle Tour
- Conversely, I recommend sitting on the left side as there were more photo spots from that side.
- Similar to the previous tour, we rode in a vehicle to visit various points. Other groups seemed to have Japanese guides, but my group only had explanations in English.
- We were able to see the set of the crashed helicopter and the gate set from Jurassic Park.
- We also got off the vehicle to enjoy a panoramic view of Kualoa's filming locations, which was breathtaking.
- At one point, we got off to see a place that recreated local life from the past, but I didn’t find it very appealing.
★Taste of Kualoa
- This tour also involved riding a bus while viewing the plants grown at Kualoa.
- We got off the bus a couple of times to sample some food, and several movie locations were mentioned again during this tour.
- Compared to the previous two tours, this one felt a bit dull. However, the Japanese guide was entertaining.
★★Summary★★
- Kualoa Ranch seems to have a system where you can choose several optional tours you like.
- I definitely recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch! The location tour was fantastic! However, I thought it might have been nice to choose activities like zip-lining or ATV rides as well.
- Honestly, lunch was not very good.
★映画ロケ地ツアーについて
・バスは右側の方がだいぶ写真撮影のポイントが多かったので、右側に座ることをお勧めしま
す。基本バスに乗車しながらガイドさんがクワロア牧場や映画のロケ地の解説をしてくれ、ロケ地ポイントなどを見て回る感じでした。
・途中、ジュラシックパークで出てきた倒木に隠れて恐竜の群れから隠れるシーンを再現しているところでは、下車してガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれました。恐竜の人形を駆使して遠近法を活かして面白く撮ってくれました。
・また、防空壕の跡地では、映画の撮影で使った骨に触れたり、ジュラシックパークの撮影で使われた車に乗って写真撮影ができました。恐竜のリアルなロボットや、キングコングのセットとも写真が撮れて良かったです。
・私達の時は日本人のガイドさんが付いてくれましたが、それが常時かどうかは分かりませ
ん。
★ジャングルツアーについて
・上記とは逆で左側の方が撮影スポットが多かったので、左側に座ることをお勧めします。
・こちらも基本車に乗車してポイントを見て回る感じでした。他のグループには日本人のガイドさんが付いていたようですが、私のグループは英語での解説のみでした。
・途中、墜落したヘリのセットやジュラシックパークの門のセットなどを見る事ができました。
・また下車して展望スポットからクアロアのロケ地を見渡すことができたのですが絶景でした。
・途中、現地の昔の生活を再現した場所にも下車したのですかあまり魅力を感じませんでした。
★テイストオブクアロア
・こちらもバスで回りながらクアロアで育ててる植物を見て回る感じでした。
・途中2度ほど下車して少しだけ試食を食べました。その中で映画のロケ地がまた何箇所が出てきました。
・こちらは上記2つに比べると少し退屈な感じでした。ガイドの日本人の人は面白かったです。
★★まとめ★★
・クアロア牧場自体が、好きなオプショナルツアーを自分でいくつか選択するシステムのようです。
・クアロア牧場自体は是非行って欲しいです!!ロケ地巡りはサイコーでした!が、後はジップラインやバギーなどを選択しても良かったかもしれないと思いました。
・お昼ご飯は正直あんまりでした。
6:50 Meet at International Market Place
8:00 Arrive at Kualoa Ranch
9:15 Taste of Kualoa Tour
11:00 Movie Location Tour
12:30 Lunch
13:15 Jungle Tour
16:00 Arrive in Waikiki
① It was early in the morning, and since I arrived in Honolulu the day before, I confirmed the meeting place the night before. There were many people lined up in the morning, and there were staff members around, so I had no trouble finding it.
② There is quite a wait from arrival until the first activity. However, stretching my legs on the beach in front of the ranch and enjoying the vast scenery made the time fly by.
③ Honestly, I thought it was unnecessary (but since it was included, I went along with it), and surprisingly, it was fun. There were movie sets here as well. Compared to the English guide, the Japanese guide provided less information, and I wished they had studied a bit more.
④ Kualoa Ranch has been the filming location for dozens of movies and dramas. I was amazed from start to finish, thinking, "That scene was here!" The guide was wonderful. It was so much fun!
⑤ It was a buffet-style lunch. The rotisserie chicken was delicious.
⑥ I also thought this was unnecessary, but it might have been the most surprising part. There were movie location remnants here as well, and that scene from Jurassic World comes back to life just as it was in the set.
Next time, I want to book earlier and enjoy horseback riding and ATV tours at Kualoa Ranch.
6:50インターナショナルマーケットプレイス集合①
8:00クアロアランチ到着②
9:15テイストオブクアロアツアー③
11:00映画ロケ地巡り④
12:30昼食⑤
13:15ジャングルツアー⑥
16:00ワイキキ着
①朝早くて、前日にホノルル入りでしたので前日夜に集合場所確認しておきました。当日朝には多くの人が列をなしていたし、スタッフの方もいたので迷う事はありませんでした。
②到着から最初のアクティビティ迄かなり待たされます。しかし、牧場の前のビーチに足を伸ばしたり、広大な風景を眺めていると、時間はあっという間に過ぎます。
③正直イラネと思ってましたが(セットなので仕方なく)意外に楽しかったです。ここにも映画のセットがありました。英語ガイドに比べると日本語ガイドの情報量が少なくて、もうちょっと勉強しておいてほしかったです。
④クアロアランチでは数十本の映画ドラマのロケ地となりました。あのシーンここだったんだ!と開始から終了まで驚き尽くしでした。ガイドの方が素晴らしかったです。とっても楽しかった!
⑤ビュッフェスタイルのランチです。ロティサリーチキンがおいしかった。
⑥これもイラネって思ってましたが、意外性No.1かもです。ここでも映画ロケ地跡があり、ジュラシックワールドのあのシーンがセットそのままに蘇ります。
次はもっと早くに予約して、ホースバックツアーやATVでクアロアランチ堪能したいです。
The weather was great.
I participated during winter break last year.
It felt like rice planting.
After all, it's summer vacation.
Our guide, Kaz, is on his third time.
He takes good care of us and is the best.
天気も最高。
去年は冬休みに参加。
田植えみたいだった。
やっぱり、夏休みだね。
案内人のカズさんは三回目。
面倒見が良くて、最高です。
Thank you for participating so much, and it was great that the guide was also Kaz. I'm glad the weather was favorable as well.
そんなに参加いただき、ガイドも同じカズだったのですね。
ありがとうございます。お天気にも恵まれ良かったです。
Everything about our sunset cruise was first rate. From the excellent staff to amazing food . An evening I sill never forget.
This tour was quite an adventure, complete with beautiful views, good food, and of course an exciting ride. Ty, our guide, shared all kinds of historic and pop culture facts related to the ranch. We learned a little about the original irrigation system from the ranch's early plantation days and even got to walk the full length of an irrigation tunnel and explored a small cave. We also saw a recent Hawaii Five-0 filming location, hand fed some cows, and ate fresh tropical fruit right off the plant. Ty also let us set the pace for the ride...we chose fast and rough and he did not disappoint. A couple times I thought we were going to spin out or flip over, which is exactly what we wanted!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure.
Thank you so much for leaving us a kind review. We are so glad you had a wonderful experience with us here at Gunstock Ranch and Ty was able to share some fun facts and history with you. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us. We hope that you come again.
Mahalo Nui!
People who are prone to motion sickness might find it tough. I was fine, but there were others who looked like they were struggling. The freshly peeled macadamia nuts were incredibly delicious!
乗り物に酔いやすい人はキツイかもしれません。私は平気でしたが、しんどそうにしている人もいました。
剥きたばかりのマカダミアンナッツはすごく美味しかったです!
Due to my child's poor health, I called at 5 PM the day before and was able to postpone our participation by one day. Thank you for your flexible response.
The half-day tour on the day was enjoyable with a funny guide named MAKI from Ibaraki. I also appreciate the guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center for their clear explanations.
However, the reason I did not give a five-star rating is that the dinner menu was only on the table, and I didn't know how to proceed. It was a buffet style, wasn't it? The menu on the table was for the buffet. I would have appreciated a brief explanation about that.
The subsequent night show was also wonderful and enjoyable. I would like to meet MAKI again. Thank you very much.
That's all.
子供の体調が悪かったため、前日の17時に電話し、参加を一日ずらせてもらえました。臨機応変に対応いただきありがとうございました。
当日の半日観光は、MAKIさんという茨城出身の面白いガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターのガイドのお兄さんも、わかりやすく案内いただきありがとうございました。
しかし、評価が星5つではないのは、夕食が、メニューだけ机にあり、どう行動したら良いかわからなかったことです。バイキング形式だったんですね。机の上のメニューは、バイキングのメニューだったんですね。
そのような説明が一言、欲しかったです。
その後のナイトショーもすばらしく、良かったです。
また、MAKIさんに会いたいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。
以上
I participated in a tour that allowed my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to enjoy the streets of Haleiwa, garlic shrimp, horseback riding, and more all at once. Our guide, Masa, shared interesting stories, and the comfortable car ride made it a delightful experience for both my mother and my elementary school-aged nieces. I was worried because previous reviews mentioned that there wasn't enough time for lunch, but our guide took our request for garlic shrimp in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. If I could be a bit greedy, I would have loved to explore Haleiwa for another 15 minutes.
ハワイ初来訪の母にハレイワの街並みやガーリックシュリンプ、乗馬などを一度に楽しめるツアーを探して今回参加しました。
ガイドのマサさんのお話も興味深く、楽チンな車での移動で母も小学生の姪っ子達も大満喫してくれました。
以前の口コミでは「ランチを食べる時間が少ない」とあったので心配していましたが、事前にガイドさんがガーリックシュリンプのリクエストを聞いて予約してくれたので、ゆっくり食べることが出来ました。贅沢を言えば、あと15分くらいハレイワ散策出来たらうれしいです。
Thank you for participating.
The shrimp plate recommended by Masa is delicious, isn't it? It's a popular spot among locals.
I apologize that you didn't have enough time to explore.
Please consider using our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
マサおすすめのシュリンププレート美味しいですよね。ローカルにも人気のお店です。
散策お時間足りなかったようで、すみませんでした。
次の機会も是非ご利用下さい。
My son wanted to see an authentic fire show, so we participated for the first time.
There were many foreign guests. The bus guide's high-energy talk was in English, and it was enjoyable.
The entire show was well-structured, combining experience, participation, and viewing, and we had a great time. If the food had been a bit tastier, it would have received a "perfect!" rating.
息子が本場の炎のショーを見たいとのことで、
はじめて参加しました。
外国人のお客さんが多かったです。
バスガイドさんのハイテンショントークは
英語でしたが楽しかったです。
ショー全体も、体験~参加~観賞と
上手く構成されていて、十分楽しめました。
ごはんがもう少し美味しければ
『最高でした!』評価でした。
I went in February.
I was very satisfied to see many whales.
It became a good memory.
It was difficult to take photos, but it was fun.
2月に行きました。
たくさんのクジラを見ることができて大満足でした。
良い思い出になりました。
写真を撮るのは難しかったですが、楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed seeing many whales. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
Star of Honolulu
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
たくさんのクジラをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。
是非またお越し下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.
We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.
They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.
This tour is the best way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our curious and random questions. He did an excellent job of corralling such a large group in time to move from one exhibit to the next. We would have been lost without him. My favorite part of the tour was the boat ride out to the Arizona Memorial. Even though the memorial was closed at the time, seeing the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri up close out on the water was quite humbling and awe-inspiring. Visiting Pearl Harbor is a top Oahu destination, and this tour is the best way to go!
I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.
