Oahu
I went parasailing for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The sky was quieter and more stable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy the scenery and the height. The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. There were many people from Japan, so we took photos and videos of each other and shared them, but there was no photo service provided as part of the tour.
初めてパラセーリングをしましたがとても素晴らしい体験ができました。
上空は思っていた以上に静かで安定していて景色や高さを楽しめました。お天気がいまいちだったのでそこだけが残念でした。
日本の方が多くいらっしゃったのでお互いに写真やムービーを撮り合って共有しましたが、ツアーとしては写真サービスはなかったです。
After the experience
The pickup time was perfectly on Japanese time, and the driver, Tomo, was a very friendly and handsome young man who spoke Japanese very well! The local staff member, Emi, was also a very kind and easy-to-talk-to Japanese woman! The explanations about Kailua and Lanikai Beach were clear and helpful, so everything was great! The beautiful sea and good weather allowed us to relax! I was very satisfied with the delicious pizza and boxed lunch for lunch! I was also happy to receive a gift and get some souvenirs! I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

The weather was unfortunate, as it was cloudy and rainy, making it cold to enter the sea. However, the support from the guide was wonderful, and I was able to participate comfortably. The captain, like a behind-the-scenes supporter, made charcoal-grilled hamburgers, and during the sea turtle watching, he skillfully guided the boat. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice, but I still enjoyed seeing the beautiful coral and swimming tropical fish.
天気は残念で曇ってたら、雨が降ったりと海に入るのにも寒かったのですが、ガイドの方のフォローが素晴らしく、気持ち良く参加できました。縁の下の力持ち的にキャプテンが炭火焼きのハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、ウミガメウォッチングでは上手く船を誘導してくれてました。
天気が良かったら最高だとは思いますが、綺麗な珊瑚と泳ぐ熱帯魚を見て楽しめました。
The food was delicious, and the level of crowding was not too much, which was great. The show was enjoyable for the whole family, with the men's powerful performances and the women's captivating dances.
料理も美味しく、混雑度合いもそこまでで良かったです。
ショーは男性の迫力と女性の魅力的な踊りで家族みんなが楽しめました。
We participated as a couple. The woman guiding us was calm and reassuring. We enjoyed a leisurely one-hour walk along a designated route overseas. Although it was November, the weather across the North Shore was poor that day, with occasional light rain.
I haven't experienced other horseback riding, but it might be lacking for those seeking an adventurous element.
- About a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from Waikiki
- Restrooms available
- There was a child around 6 years old with other customers.
夫婦二人で参加しました。
案内してくれる女性も穏やかな方で安心でした。
海外の決まったルートをのんびり1時間くらいお散歩でした。
11月でしたが、当日はノースショア全体の天気が悪く、たまに霧雨が降るような感じでした。
他の乗馬は未体験ですが、アドベンチャー的な要素を求めている方には物足りないかもしれません。
・ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間15分くらい
・トイレあり
・6歳くらいの子どももいました(他のお客様)
After our children became adults, we took a trip to Hawaii as a couple for the first time in over 20 years. We wanted to do something memorable, so we signed up for parasailing. Although I felt a bit scared, the weather was great on the day of the activity, and once we were up in the air, it was stable and we enjoyed the refreshing breeze while taking in the stunning views of Honolulu. At the end, we had the usual splash in the sea, but they also check in advance how much you'll be submerged, which was very reassuring. I would love to do it again the next time we visit Hawaii.
子供たちも社会人になり、20数年ぶりに夫婦2人でのハワイ旅行。何か思い出に残ることをやってみようと思い、パラセイリングに申し込みました。
少し怖い気持ちもありましたが、当日は天気も良く、空に上がってみれば安定していて、気持ちよい空気の中、ホノルルの絶景を堪能できました。
最後はお決まりの海ポチャになりますが、どの程度海に浸かるかも事前に確認してくれるので、とても安心です。
次にハワイに行くときもやってみたいと思います。
I love the ocean in Hawaii, but since I'm with my elderly parents, I won't be swimming during our stay. I wanted to experience the feeling of being in a resort, so I participated in this activity. It's refreshing to see Waikiki from the sea, which I usually walk through. Since I participated on the day of arrival, spending a leisurely time on the boat felt like a luxurious experience. Although Japanese is not spoken, it was a time where communication wasn't necessary, so there were no inconveniences.
ハワイの海は好きですが、高齢の親と一緒なので滞在中は泳ぎません。
せっかくリゾート地に来た感覚を味わいたくて参加しました。
いつも歩いているワイキキを海から見られるのは新鮮な感じです。
到着日に参加ということもあり、
船でのんびりとゆったりと過ごせるのは贅沢な時間です。
日本語は通じませんが、特に会話しなくても問題ない時間でしたので、不都合も無かったっです。
First time visitor to Oahu and first outing planned. Beautiful vistas; ATV adventure enabled us to see parts of the Ranch at a comfortable and interactive pace.
First, regarding the dinner buffet, the dining area is on the open terrace where the night breeze is pleasant. When you sit at the table, fresh dendrobium orchids are provided for hair accessories, and while enjoying a Hawaiian drink, you feel happy. You can enjoy various dishes, starting with traditional Hawaiian cuisine. While dining, hula dancers occasionally perform right near your table, adding to the fun! Of course, there are plenty of desserts like fruits, cakes, and ice cream, leaving you completely satisfied!
Next, we moved to the theater to watch the Rock-a-Hula show. The stage and seats are very close, and with live band performances, the lighting and visual effects enhance the hula dance, Elvis, and Michael Jackson performances, as well as songs by Hawaiian singers, all of which are incredibly powerful! At the end, we were able to take photos with the performers, and everyone was very courteous, making it a wonderful memory! ✨
まずはディナービュッフェについて、食べるところはオープンテラスで夜風が心地よく、テーブルにつくと、髪飾り用に生のデンファレの花が用意されておりハワイの飲み物を飲みながら気分はハッピー
食事もハワイの伝統料理をはじめ色々な料理を食べることができます食事をしているとフラダンサーの方が席の間近でダンスを時折披露してくださり楽しめます‼︎もちろんフルーツやケーキ、アイスなどデザートもたっぷりでお腹いっぱいになり大満足でした‼︎
つづいてロックアフラのショーを見る為にシアターに移動、こちらも舞台と席がとても近く、生バンドによる演奏、光や映像の演出が相まってフラダンスやエルビス、マイケルジャクソンのパフォーマンス、またハワイの歌手の方の歌が迫力満点です‼︎
最後には、出演者の方と写真撮影ができ、どの方のとても丁寧に対応してくださり最高の思い出となりました✨
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the meal and the entertainment, and that we could help create wonderful memories for you. 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&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お食事そして、エンターテインメントも楽しめて頂けたご様子で、最高の思い出作りのお手伝いができたこと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 participated in a tour in late October, and it exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend it for those who want to recharge with the energy of nature. Thanks to the tour guide who spoke in both English and Japanese, I was able to enjoy the experience! They share information about the plants, which adds to the excitement! If it's your first time visiting Manoa Falls, definitely consider joining this tour.
As for clothing, I recommend wearing long pants since there are mosquitoes. If you don't have insect repellent spray, the guide will lend you some. I initially wore a lightweight UV parka over my T-shirt, but I started to sweat a bit, so I took it off midway. The ground was a bit muddy from the rain the day before, but my sneakers only got a little dirty. At the end, you can rinse your shoes off with a hose (your socks will get wet, though). Bottled water is provided during lunch. You'll sweat while walking and get thirsty, so don't forget to bring your own water!
After being thoroughly satisfied at Manoa Falls, we headed to Tantalus Lookout. I've participated in night view tours several times, but this was my first time at Tantalus during the day! The view was fantastic! I chose the pastrami sandwich for lunch, and it was a great choice! It was lucky to enjoy a sandwich from a popular local shop without having to wait in line! It was so delicious! Definitely check out Manoa Falls. I highly recommend this tour!
10月下旬にツアーに参加し、期待以上に大満足でした!!大自然のエネルギーをたっぷりチャージしたい方におすすめです。
英語と日本語を交互にお話ししてくださるツアーガイドさんのおかげで、楽しく参加できました!
植物のことなど教えてくださいますので、ワクワク感が増します!はじめてマノアの滝に行かれる方は、ぜひこのツアーに参加してみてください。
服装ですが、蚊が飛んでますので長ズボンがおすすめです。虫除けスプレーは持ってなければガイドさんが貸してくださいます。
最初はTシャツのうえに薄手のUVパーカーを羽織っていましたが、じんわりと汗をかいたので途中でパーカーは脱ぎました。
前日の雨で、足元は多少ぬかるんでましたがスニーカーに泥がついた程度。最後にホースの水でザッと靴を洗い流せます(靴下まで濡れますが)
ペットボトルのお水は、ランチのときに配られます。歩きながら汗をかいて喉が乾くので、お水の持参を忘れずに!
マノアの滝で大満足したあとは、タンタラスの丘へ。夜景ツアーは何度か参加したことがありますが、昼間のタンタラスの丘ははじめて!とても良い眺めで最高!
ランチのサンドイッチはパストラミを選んで大正解!地元で人気のお店のサンドイッチを並ばずに食べられるなんてラッキー!とーっても美味しかったです!
マノアの滝、ぜひ行ってみてください。こちらのツアーおすすめですよー!
The meal is a buffet, but please note that the start time is late, and there is limited time to eat. Basically, you can only go up to get food once.
During the meal, there is a small dance show, so you can really enjoy it. Additionally, a ukulele player goes around performing for each group.
Up to this point, video recording is allowed. The main show moves to the hall. Once it starts, taking photos is fine, but video recording is not allowed. There are shows not only featuring hula but also Elvis and Michael, and the atmosphere and excitement were fantastic!
All explanations are in English, so knowing English might enhance your experience. After the show, the performers greet guests outside, so you can shake hands and take photos together.
It’s guaranteed to be a wonderful night!
食事はバイキングですが、食事の始まりが遅く、食べる時間が少ないので注意してください。基本的に取りに行けるのは一回のみです。
食事中にも小さなダンスショーがあるのでしっかり楽しめます。また、ウクレレ奏者の方がひとグループごとに演奏して回っていました。
ここまでは動画撮影OKです。
本番のショーはホールへ移動します。始まりましたら写真撮影は大丈夫ですが、動画撮影はNGです。フラだけでなく、エルビスやマイケルのショーもあり、雰囲気や盛り上がりが最高でした!
説明等は全て英語なので、英語ができた方がもっと楽しめるかもしれません。
終わった後は出演者が外で見送りをしているので、握手したり一緒に写真を撮ることも可能です。
最高の夜になること間違いなしです。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the meal and the entertainment. 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&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お食事そして、エンターテインメントも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。
It was an English tour, but it was not difficult, and I was able to participate happily. The time flew by in the air! Since you can enjoy Hawaiian activities in a short time, I recommend it for those who are short on time.
英語ツアーでしたが、難しいことはなく楽しく参加できました。上空ではあっという間の時間でした!
短時間でハワイらしいアクティビティができるので、時間のない方もおすすめです。
As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!
The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.
Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!
The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!
This was a very unique and amazing experience, definitely a must go if you're in Hawaii. Looking forward to going back again next month because it was that great of a tour!
Since there was only a local meeting point in the reservation details, I arranged for HANA TAX on my own in advance. I requested a meter fare, and the ride to the destination was charged normally by the meter. However, on the return trip, the meter was started at the beginning, but while I was sleeping, it was turned off, and I was charged the same amount as the outgoing trip upon arrival.
The main zip line experience initially had English support, but I filled out and signed a consent form in Japanese. We listened to the explanation for the zip line intended for Japanese participants and then started. We did six zip lines. The staff communicated in English, but it was not a problem if you couldn't converse; the important thing was that the staff used a translation app to assist us.
We started at 11:00 and finished around 13:00. If possible, I recommend wearing shoes that can get a little muddy, as they may get dirty.
現地集合しか予約内容がなかったので前もって、個人でHANA TAXを頼んで行きました。メーターでの依頼をしましたが、行きは普通にメーターでした。
帰りはスタート時メーターをスタートしましが私が寝てしまってる間にメーターを切られていて、到着先で行きと同じ金額を取られました。
メインのジップラインは最初英語での対応でしたが、日本語の承諾書を記入してサインをしました。
日本人用のジップラインの説明を聞いてスターしました。私達は6ラインのジップラインをしました。
スタッフは英語での会話ですが、会話ができなくても全然問題なく、大切な事はスタッフ様が通訳アプリで見せてくれました。
11時からスタートして終わったのが13時頃でした。
もし可能なら靴は少し泥がつくので汚れても良い靴をおすすめします。
It was a good decision to have an all-you-can-drink option since water costs the same as juice. There was a Japanese guide who helped us with reserving seats and recommended good spots, which was very helpful. The attractions included options for babies and children as well as thrilling ones. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication.
水でもジュースと同じ料金がかかるので飲み放題があって正解でした。
日本人の案内の方がいて、いすの場所取りおおすすめ場所など教えていただき、たすかりました。アトラクションは、赤ちゃん、子供向けとスリリングなものとありました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めしたほうがいいかもです
This tour is very fun. Must have experience the tour moves very fast though the trials. I did this tip it last year had a different guide. Our tour guide was good. Wish he could have been more informative and more helpful with taking photos. I would recommend this tour for people that want a good workout. Not for seeing the sites.
It was different from the snorkeling I had imagined; we swam continuously for about 60 minutes. They guided us to good spots, and we were able to take underwater photos. Since it's a tour where you need both hands free at all times, it's better to avoid taking your smartphone. You shouldn't bring it. We even saw a sea turtle along the way, which was beyond my expectations.
I felt that the maximum of 5 people in a small group was in reference to the number of participants per instructor, but I don't think there were any issues with that.
想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。
最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。
I was instructed to be at the meeting point five minutes before the pickup time, so I arrived ten minutes early. However, not only did they not arrive five minutes before, but they also didn't show up even at the scheduled departure time.
After waiting and feeling frustrated, they finally arrived about seven minutes after the departure time. There was no explanation or apology for the delay.
After that, we headed to the airport after stopping at three pickup locations, but no passengers showed up at two of those spots, resulting in wasted time. In the end, it took about 60 minutes from boarding to reaching the school.
ピックアップ時間(出発時間)の5分前には集合場所に居るように指示されたので、10分前には待っていました。が、5分前どころか出発時間になっても来ませんでした。
痺れを切らして問い合わせをしようとした出発時刻の7分後位に、来ました。
特に遅れた説明も謝罪もありません。
その後、3箇所のピックアップ場所に寄った後に空港へ向かいましたが、そのうち2箇所で乗車する人は現れずに無駄な時間を過ごしました。
結果、乗車から校舎まで60分程度かかりました。
The staff is super friendly and helpful when checking in. They give you all the necessary info and tips to ensure your time is well spent. All the equipment was in good condition. Definitely recommend self-guided tour if you are able since it is much more affordable than a guided tour. Thank you!
Aloha Sarah! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review! This is so great to hear that you had this kind of experience with us, and especially that our staff took good care of you. Hopefully that contributed to you having an awesome experience of Kane'ohe Bay! On behalf of all of us it was our pleasure to have you and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, despite the very low cost. The photographer was very friendly and took a lot of pictures for me. Although it was an extra charge, I was thrilled to have them transferred to my smartphone.
とても安価にもかかわらず約10分堪能しました
カメラマン?はとても気さくな方で
いっぱい写真も撮って下さり別料金ですが
スマホに転送してもらえ感激です
I was excited to see the attractions in the pictures, but only three were operational. It was my mistake to rent two with roofs, and there was no advice regarding that. I opted for the lunch package, but even with the transportation included, 93,112 yen for that is too expensive.
アトラクションは画像で見るとワクワク期待したのですが
3つしか稼働してなく、こちらのミスですが屋根付きのを二つも
レンタルしていて それに対するアドバイス等は何もなく
昼食付にしましたが 送迎込みでも あれで93,112円は
高すぎる
The horses are calm and will follow the horse in front of them along the route with almost no effort required, so I think anyone can enjoy it. The scenery was also fantastic.
馬達はおとなしく、ほぼ何も操作しなくても前の馬に着いてルートに沿って進むので、誰でも楽しめると思います。
景色も最高で良かったです。
We started with a buffet outdoors, and the weather was nice, making it very pleasant. The food was Hawaiian cuisine, which created great memories. During dinner, there was a light show and hula lessons, making the meal enjoyable!
The performance exceeded my expectations in quality. The singer on stage had impressive vocal skills, and the dancers were also very skilled, so I was glad to see a lot of hula dancing.
After the performance, we were able to take photos, making it a very memorable experience!
野外でビュッフェを食べることから始まり、天気も良くとても気持ちよかったです。ご飯もハワイアン料理を味わえていい思い出になりました。夕食中は軽いショーもあったりフラレッスンもあって楽しくお食事ができました!
公演は思った以上のクオリティで楽しめました。舞台に立たれていた歌手はさすがの歌唱力でダンサーの方もすごく上手でフラダンスもたくさん見れたのでよかったです。
公演後は写真撮影もできたりして、とても思い出深い体験ができました!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful weather, the luau buffet, and the entertainment, making for a truly memorable experience. 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&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お天気も良く、ルアウブッフェのお食事そして、エンターテインメントも楽しめて頂けたご様子で、とても思い出深い体験のお手伝いができたこと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 could see that the crew was doing their best to entertain the guests. The volleyball at the sandbar and the sea turtle watching were both fun (we saw more than 10 turtles). The hamburger made by the female captain was also delicious. The explanations from the Japanese crew were concise and easy to understand.
During the final snorkeling at the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. I even saw a dragonfish chasing other tropical fish at high speed!
The only downside for me was that it was cold. I had heard it would be chilly coming out of the sea, so I prepared extra towels and a jacket, but the water was quite cold too, and I ended up shivering. If I had stayed in the water and moved around more, it might have been better. Considering the occasionally cloudy weather and the fact that it was November, I suppose it can't be helped.
However, I was able to have a wonderful time in the Hawaiian sea for the first time. Thank you to all the crew!
クルー達が一生懸命客を楽しませようとしてくれてるのがわかった。
サンドバーでのバレーボールも゙ウミガメウォッチングも楽しかった。(10匹以上見られた。)女性キャプテンの焼いてくれたハンバーグのハンバーガーも美味しかった。日本人のクルーの説明も簡潔でわかりやすかった。
最後の珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルでは、たっくさんの魚を見ることができた。ドラゴンフィッシュが他の熱帯魚を猛スピードで追いかけてるのも゙見た!
私にとっての唯一の難点は寒かったこと。海からあがると寒いとは聞いてたので、予備のバスタオルとか上着とかを用意して行ったが、水の中も結構寒くてガタガタ震えてしまった。海からあがらないで、水の中でもっと動いてたら、マシだったかも。時々曇ったりする天気と11月という季節を考えたら、仕方ないかと思う。
でも、初めてのハワイの海で素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。クルーの皆さん、ありがとう!
The biggest draw for this tour is that the pickup point was directly at Disney's Aulani Resort. (Not too many other similar tours had stops there!)
Our driver Quentin made the trip a very informative one with his vast knowledge of the landmarks and places of interest. He was also very receptive to people's questions and stuck true to form with timings of tours, particularly dropoffs and pickups from the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
I would like to extend special thanks to Quentin for allowing me to take a much needed bathroom break during the Honolulu portion of the tour. The main problem, however, was that downtown Honolulu has absolutely no public restrooms anywhere, so if you don't use the restroom at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, you are screwed. Unfortunately, I had to learn that the hard way!
Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I believe the party I was with did too!
I'm glad there was a kiosk right inside the domestic arrival lobby, so I could meet up without any confusion. This time it was a domestic flight from the Big Island to Honolulu, so I'm not sure if there will be a kiosk in a prominent location at the international arrival lobby.
国内線到着ロビー内すぐにキオスクがあったので、迷わず合流できてよかったです。今回はハワイ島からホノルルへの国内線だったので、国際線到着ロビーの場合は目立つ場所にキオスクがあるかは不明です。
The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.
The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.
The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.
For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.
The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.
All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.
Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.
Aloha Danielle, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy our tour. We shared your feedback with our crews, and we will discuss about better way to our customer satisfied (music, lunch and equipment etc.). They will make an effort to meet high expectations. When we check the boat, we couldn't find any wholes in ceiling tile. We do maintenance our boat and keep clean everyday but will do check more carefully. Mahalo for sharing your experience. - Team KBOS
I participated in several other tours besides Kualoa Ranch, but this one was the most fun! The guide was kind and took safety into consideration. Additionally, since it has been a filming location for various movies, I now have the enjoyment of rewatching those films after returning home.
For those who will be joining the tour:
1. I think it's easier to bring a credit card. There are gift shops and snack stands, and if you have a bag, you’ll be asked to use a coin locker for $5. Payments can be made with a credit card, which is helpful if you don't have the exact $5. If you have a waist pouch, you can ride without putting it in the coin locker.
2. It's better to use the restroom before getting on the bus. On the way there, we shared rides from different meeting points, and in my case, we stopped at two more places before heading to the ranch, which took about an hour, and I ended up needing to go to the bathroom, haha. The bus driver didn’t mention the travel time or anything like that.
As long as you keep these points in mind, you shouldn't have any issues. I highly recommend this tour!
クアロア牧場以外にも何ヶ所か別のツアーに参加しましたが、ここが一番楽しかったです!ガイドの方も優しく、安全に配慮して下さいました。また、様々な映画のロケ地になっているので帰国してから映画を見返す楽しみもできました。
これからツアーに参加される方に
①クレジットカードは持参した方が楽だと思います。ギフトショップや軽食が買える売店もある他カバンを持っている人は5ドルでコインロッカーに入れるように言われます。支払いはクレジットカードでできるのでぴったり5ドルがない時に助かります。ウエストポーチならコインロッカーに入れなくてもそのまま乗馬できます。
②バスに乗車する前にお手洗いは済ませた方がいいです。行きは、バラバラの集合場所で相乗りになり、私の時はあと2か所に停車してから牧場に向かったので着くまで1時間くらいかかり、トイレに行きたくなりました笑バスの運転手さんも所要時間などそこら辺のことは言ってくれないので。
これだけ気をつければ困ることはないと思います。本当におすすめのツアーですよ!
The driver was very cheerful, kind, and talkative, creating a bright atmosphere that put me at ease. Although I had heavy luggage on the way back, they kindly helped carry it during the ascent and descent.
とても明るく親切でおしゃべりな運転手さんで明るい雰囲気をつくってなごませてくれました。
重たい帰りの荷物でしたか昇降時親切に運んでくれました。
