Oahu
The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.
The moment I floated up into the sky, the blue ocean spread out below me, and it was amazing! The weather was also great, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully. I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you might get a little splashed.
空にフワッと舞い上がった瞬間、眼下に青い海が広がって最高でした!お天気にも恵まれ、ダイアモンドヘッドも綺麗に見れました。少し濡れるので濡れてもよい服装で参加したらよいと思います。
Well organized tour. Tour has enough ppl to watch the full load of the onboard and plenty of equipments for each activity. They kept an close eye on everyone to assure our safety. Going with kids, to us, its a plus. I witnessed others who are seniorities and were given immediate assistance when needed. Great music band, good vocal and songs. Every team member of the tour is very friendly. I will definitely book with them next time I go to snorkeling.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS

Lunch was nice croissant lunch meat sandwhich with chips and fruit. Activities were very organized and good explanations for snorkeling, kayaks and SUP. The music was good fun and appropriate. Plenty of equipment for snorkel footballl volleyball etc The crew was awesome, helpful and personable. There was plenty of crew and life guards. They had everything that would allow you to have a fun filled day! I definitely would recommend and would book this in the future!
Mahalo for your review! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
How amazing, my kids really loved every island and all the work put in.
What an awesome show, it hits everything you want to see, fire dance, pig roast, games and hawaiian activities!
What an evening to celebrate an anniversary! Fabulous food and performers.
Lots to do, ending show was fabulous, and dinner all there was a great day in full!
This is a blast of a day! The best tour we had on our trip!
One of the best adventures we did while in Hawaii. The staff was great, the history of the ranch was so exciting to learn about. It’s a must do while in Hawaii.We are still talking about our great times on vacation.
Thank you for all you all for an amazing day!!!
The show was very good, particularly the chief. He is a talented entertainer who interacted very well with his audience. The dancers were also very talented.
The buffet dinner was okay, nothing special.
It takes about a 50-minute drive from Waikiki to arrive. There are various experience tours available, and it's a popular tourist destination visited by many. The horses provided are well-trained and walk in a line without needing any guidance. However, my horse seemed a bit stubborn and didn't move until the guide gave it a gentle tap on the rear. I had a great experience riding through the magnificent grounds surrounded by mountains, and we also passed near the seaside. The breeze from the ocean added to the feeling of being in nature.
ワイキキから車で50分のドライブで到着。いろんな体験ツアーが用意されており、沢山の観光客が訪れている観光地です。
用意されている馬は慣れており、何もしなくても列を作って歩いていきます。ただ、私の馬はひねくれ者のようで、引率者のおねーさんが馬のお尻を叩くまで、動きません。良い体験をしました、山に囲まれた壮大な敷地を乗馬しますが、海辺の近くも通ります。海からの風もあり、自然を感じました。
We used it with three people.
Since we were the first, we were thrown into the sea without a moment to catch our breath. Haha.
It became the best memory!
Thank you very much! ^ ^
3人で利用しました。
トップバッターだったので、息つく間もなく
海上に飛ばされました。笑
最高の思い出となりました!
ありがとうございました^ ^
On December 10th, I participated with my wife and our two sons, aged 0 and 3. At that time, the dolphin interaction at Sea Life Park was closed for renovations, and the other dolphin tours featured snorkeling with dolphins, which would be difficult with our young children, so we chose this option. I had heard that in December, if luck was on our side, we might see whales, so I was just hoping to see some dolphins or whales, but we were able to see dolphins, which made me very satisfied. Additionally, the boat played some lively music, and we could enjoy a few drinks, which added to the sense of adventure.
12月10日に0歳、3歳の息子と、妻と私の4人で参加しました。
当時はシーライフパークのイルカ触れ合いは改装で中止しており、他のイルカツアーはシュノーケリングでイルカと泳げるのがウリで、0,
3歳児を連れては難しいためこちらに参加しました。
12月は運が良ければクジラが見られるとのことだったので、イルカやクジラが見られればいいなという程度でしたが、無事イルカが見られてとても満足です。
また、船は結構イケイケな音楽がかかって、お酒が何杯か飲めるので、非日常感が味わえました。
Dinner Plan B: We participated as a family of three. For the first time, the server was also Japanese. I have dined here several times, and the food is consistently delicious. I was satisfied with the dishes. However, I was served a different drink than what I ordered. Since it was crowded, I chose not to point it out to avoid any hassle. I was a bit disappointed, considering they should be excellent, being Japanese.
ディナープランB 家族3人で参加。いままでになく、給仕係も日本人でした。何回か食事した事ありますが、間違えない美味しさ。料理は満足です。ドリンクをオーダーと違うものを出されました。こんでいるので、面倒な事になることを、避けるため、指摘しませんでした。優秀なはずの日本人なのに、少しガッカリ。
I was able to travel comfortably between the airport and the Waikiki area! Thank you very much! The staff's service was also excellent!
気持ち良く、空港とワイキキエリアを往き来出来ました!ありがとうございました~!スタッフさんの対応も非常に良かったです!
The guide spoke only English, but was very kind and took many family photos for us. The guide's leading on the bike was considerate of the entire group, allowing everyone to enjoy without feeling rushed. Along the way, we visited many movie filming locations, but aside from Jurassic Park, I hadn't seen any of them before. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had done some research beforehand. That said, we were blessed with good weather, and riding the e-mountain bike through the great outdoors was incredibly fun and amazing.
英語のみのガイドさんでしたが、とても親切で、たくさん家族の写真を撮ってくれました。
ガイドさんのバイクの先導も、一行全員を気づかっていただき、慌てることなく、参加した全員が楽しめたように感じます。
途中、映画のロケシーンを沢山まわりたしたが、ジュラシックパークス以外は見たことがなく、予習しておけば、もっと楽しめたとおもいます。
とはいっても、天気に恵まれ、eマウンテンバイクで大自然の風を切るのはとても楽しく、最高でした。
At first, I was anxious, but the crew's support and safety equipment made me feel secure, and I was able to enjoy the zip line! It was amazing✨. I was fine in short sleeves and shorts. Since you wear a helmet, it would have been better to bring a hat! On the way to the location, you can also see movie filming spots!
最初は、不安でしたが、クルーの対応や安全器具で安心して、ZIP LINEを楽しめました!最高です✨
半袖、半ズボンでも、大丈夫でした。ヘルメットをかぶるので、帽子を持っていったほうが良かったです!
現地に、行く途中、映画の撮影場所も見ることができます!
I'm really glad I was able to enter Hanauma Bay, which requires a reservation! The instructor was very polite and spoke Japanese, which was quite helpful. There were 10 participants and 2 instructors this time, but since the activities were tailored to the participants' levels, the snorkeling ended up being quite shallow, and the water clarity wasn't great. I was really looking forward to snorkeling in Hawaii, so it was a bit disappointing.
予約がないと入れないハナウマベイに入れたのは、とってもよかったです‼︎
インストラクターの方はとても丁寧で日本語も話せるので、かなり助かりました。
今回は参加者10人、インストラクター2人だったのですが、参加者のレベルに合わせてになるので今回のシュノーケリングらかなり浅瀬のみでの実施になってしまい、普通のシュノーケリングかつ海の透明度もイマイチでした。。
ハワイでのシュノーケリングなのでかなり楽しみにしていた手前少し残念でした。。
I have reserved a departure at 11:00.
There is a sign for the boarding area on the beach, so I think it will be easy to find.
After arriving, please confirm your name at the check-in counter, and then it's time to board.
The view of Waikiki from the ocean is wonderful.
Before departure, I requested to scatter my father's ashes during the cruise.
I was very grateful for the staff's thoughtfulness.
My father must be happy in heaven as well.
11:00出船を予約しました。
ビーチに乗り場の看板がありますので、すぐにわかると思います。
到着後はチェックインカウンターで名前を確認してもらい、いよいよ乗船。
沖から見るワイキキの景色は、素晴らしいです。
出発前にお願いをして、クルーズ中に父の散骨をさせていただきました。
スタッフさんの心遣いが大変嬉しかったです。
父も天国で喜んでくれているはずです。
I made a reservation for 1:00 PM.
I arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in at the counter inside the ranch.
Japanese is not spoken, so a translation app is necessary.
After checking in, walk to the right side of the ranch for a brief buggy training session.
A female staff member was in charge and really tried to make it exciting.
Raincoats and face masks are provided for free, and once you put on a full-face helmet, you're ready to go.
You get to explore various courses for about an hour.
Kualoa Ranch has an amazing location, but the time commitment and waiting can be long.
Here, you can start and finish quickly.
Once you're done, you can enjoy plenty of activities in Haleiwa before heading back.
13:00の予約申し込みをしました。
15分ほど前に到着し、
牧場内のカウンターでチェックインを済ませます。
日本語は通じませんので、翻訳アプリが必要です。
チェックイン後は、牧場内右手に歩いていき、バギーの簡単な講習説明があります。
女性のスタッフが担当してくれたのですが、凄く盛り上げようとしてくれます。
カッパと、フェイスマスクは無料で配布され、フルフェイスヘルメットを被れば出発です。
小一時間色んなコースを回らせてくれます。
クアロアランチはロケーションが最高ですが、
拘束時間と待ち時間が長いです。
こちらはサッと始められてサッと終われます。
終わればハレイワの街でたっぷり遊んで帰れますよ。
Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.
However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.
After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.
生憎の雨模様でかなり寒く、ほとんどの人がサンドバーでは少し海に入って遊ぶだけでした。
ただ、自然のことですし、ハワイは12月が雨季ということで仕方がないですね。
海亀ウォッチングでは、多くの海亀を船上から見つけることができました。
その後、シュノーケリング。珊瑚礁の周りを魚が多く泳いでおり、いい経験になりました。願わくば次は夏のより暖かい季節に訪れたいと思います。
This was my first experience in Hawaii. The food was a buffet with a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and there were even desserts. There was also a performance during the meal, which was fantastic.
After the meal, we moved to watch a show, and it was very moving. I think it's worth experiencing at least once if you come to Hawaii. Lastly, we were able to greet the performers and take photos with them, which was fun.
Time flew by, but I believe it's a tour that can be utilized effectively.
初めてのハワイでの体験です。
ご飯はビュッフェでハワイのいろんな料理が食べれてデザートまでありました。
また食事中にパフォーマンスもあって最高でした。
食事後移動してショーを見ましたがとても感動しました。ハワイにきたなら一度体験してみる価値があると思います。
最後にグリーティングもできて出演者と写真も撮れて楽しかったです。
時間があっという間に過ぎましたが有効活用できるツアーだと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show during your first trip to Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, the performances by Elvis and Michael, as well as the Hawaiian show more than ever before. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラオリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーに初めてのハワイ旅行でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど今まで以上に楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I encountered heavy rain. I was able to buy a poncho at the shop, but the parts that weren't covered got soaked and cold (as a result, I ended up buying clothes at the shop. The air conditioning on the bus to and from was also cold). So, I thought it would be necessary to prepare for that (like bringing a change of clothes, etc.).
Driving the buggy and being surrounded by vast nature was very refreshing and enjoyable! I thought it would be absolutely amazing on a sunny day. Next time, I will come on a sunny day!
大雨の日に当たってしまいました。
売店でポンチョを購入できましたが、それで守られてない部分はビショビショになり寒かったです(結果的に売店で服を購入しました。行き帰りのバスの冷房も寒いです)。
なので、その対策(着替え用意etc)をする必要があると思いました。
バギーでの運転と広大な自然は、開放感があってとても楽しかったです!
晴れの日だったら文句なく最高なんだろうな、と思いました。
今度は晴れの日に来ます!
I used the banana boat, and it was an incredibly thrilling experience due to the high speed. I also got to ride a canoe and encountered sea turtles. The staff provided fish food, which attracted a lot of fish, making snorkeling fantastic.
However, I went during low tide, and there was no visibility of land, with the water being deep enough that I could barely touch the bottom, so that was a bit disappointing.
自分はバナナボートを利用しました。かなり速度が出るため凄いスリリングな体験でした。またカヌーに乗ってウミガメにも出会うことが出来ました。魚用のエサをスタッフからもらえるので、たくさん魚が寄ってきて、シュノーケリングも最高でした。
ただ干潮の時間には行きましたが、陸地が見えるようなことはなく、脚がつくぐらいの深さ感でしたので、その点は残念でした。
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the activities and encounters with sea turtles at the sandbar. We regret that the tide did not meet your expectations, but we look forward to your participation in the tour again. Thank you for joining us.
From all the KBOS staff.
サンドバーでアクティビティやウミガメとの遭遇を楽しんで頂けて大変嬉しく思います。潮位はご期待に添えなかった様で残念でしたが、再度ツアーへのご参加を是非お待ちしております。ご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
You can interact with dolphins a lot, touching and playing with them. However, the price is a bit high for the experience time, and although they probably explained about the dolphins' ecology, I was disappointed that I couldn't understand much due to my English skills. At Sea Life Park, there are staff who speak Japanese and guided us to the experience venue, so I wish there had been someone who could provide explanations in Japanese during the experience.
イルカとたっぷり触れ合い、たくさん触ったり遊んだりすることが出来ます。ただ体験時間に対して金額は高めであることと、多分イルカの生態のことなどを説明してくれているのですが、自分の英語力ではあまり理解することが出来なかったのが残念でした。シーライフパークには日本語を喋れるスタッフもいて、体験会場までは誘導してくれたので、体験中も日本語で解説してくれる人がいたら良いなと思いました。
The view from 150 meters is amazing. It was a breathtaking sight with Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii visible. Even during the waiting time for parasailing, the crew kept us entertained, so there was no time to get bored. However, the boat might be a bit rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.
高さ150mの景色は最高。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハワイの街並みが見える絶景でした。パラセーリングの待ち時間も船員の方が色々と楽しませてくれるので、退屈する時間はありませんでした。ただ船は少し酔いやすいかもしれないので、酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。
We had a great time, the views were beautiful and the burger lunch was surprisingly delicious!
The staff were very friendly and provided great tips on what to explore around the area.
It was a 2-hour plan, but the pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15, and we returned to Waikiki at 16:30. It turned into a full-day plan. However, I was able to enjoy Kualoa Ranch thoroughly.
Even without the Secret Beach tour, you can easily walk to a nearby beach (more for viewing than swimming). For lunch, I brought a sandwich, but hamburgers and other items are available for purchase. Around 13:00, I craved some fries and stood in line, but even at that time, there was still a wait, and those who ordered hamburgers had to wait 20 minutes.
For horseback riding, you cannot wear a strap around your neck. All belongings except for water, a smartphone, and a camera must be placed in a locker that costs $5 for unlimited access. The locker is large enough for two backpacks.
*If you're worried about dropping your smartphone while on the horse, it might be best to leave it behind. The ground is full of horse manure. The horse I rode was quite laid-back and kept a considerable distance from the horse in front. I was urged on by those behind me and signaled a lot with my legs, which left my outer thigh muscles sore.
Horses seem to have their own personalities, and it can be challenging with certain horses, but overall, it was enjoyable. It was a calm horse, and it turned out to be a great experience.
2時間のプランでしたが、ワイキキのお迎えが8:15で、帰りにワイキキに着いたのが16:30でした。1日かかるプランになります。
ですが、クアロアランチを十分に楽しめました。
シークレットビーチツアーでなくても、歩いてすぐのビーチにも行けます(泳ぐと言うよりは眺める用)
ランチは、サンドイッチを作って持って行きましたが、ハンバーガーなど売ってます。13時過ぎくらいにポテトが食べたくて並びましたが、その時間でもまだ並んでいて、ハンバーガーなどを頼んだ人たちは20分待ちでした。
乗馬は、首からかけるストラップはつけられません。荷物は、水とスマホ、カメラ以外は全て5ドルで開け閉め自由のロッカーに入れます。ロッカーは2人分のリュックが入る大きさです。
※馬の上からスマホ等落としたら大変なので心配な人はおいていってもいいかもしれません。
地面は馬のふんだらけです。
私が乗った馬は、のんびりな性格の馬で前の馬からかなり距離をとって歩いていました。
後ろの人からもせっつかれて、たくさん足で合図したので足の腿の外側が筋肉痛になりました。
馬にも性格があるようで、そういう馬だと大変ですが、総じて楽しかったです。おとなしい馬で、いい経験になりました。
As a Japanese person, I had an experience where I was misgiven change by a part-time girl when I purchased lunch with an all-you-can-drink soft drink option. When I noticed it on the spot and asked for it back, she hesitated for a while, and a couple of her friends were smirking, pretending it was all a joke! In the end, I did get my change back. Everyone should be careful!
日本人だからか、ソフトドリンク飲み放題付きで、別で昼食を購入した際にアルバイトの女の子にお釣りを誤魔化され,その場で気づいて返してって言うと,なかなか返さず、2.3人の子と苦笑いしバレちゃったね!ってとぼけて最終返してもらいました!皆さん気をつけた方がいいです、
