All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

They accompanied us throughout, so even as beginners, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The horses were calm, smart, and wonderful! They even took commemorative photos for us, making it a great memory of Hawaii.

前後についてくれるので、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。馬たちが大人しくて賢くて素晴らしいです！記念撮影もしてくれて、ハワイの良い思い出になりました。

○Positive Points
- The view was absolutely stunning! I often saw paragliders from the beach, and I thought the starting point was nearby, but it was actually further out than I expected. There were 5-6 groups on the same small boat, and it felt great to be out in the wind and waves!
- It was a windy day, so we started an hour later than our reservation. They checked if it was okay to leave late and confirmed that we didn't have a dinner reservation, which allowed for the time change!
- There are many points to note below, but it was so much fun! I felt like a bird and would love to go again, so if you're interested, definitely give it a try!

●Points to Note
- Everything is basically in English, so be prepared for that... (For those taking photos, there were some people who spoke simple Japanese on the boat.)
- I experienced more seasickness than I expected, and the wind during paragliding can make it worse, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take medication just in case. I felt a bit nauseous while paragliding...
- Be careful about the meeting place! There's a large parking lot between the sea and the pool next to the hotel. The reception is in a small hut along the seaside within that parking lot, but it was hard to find... (I'll upload a photo of the reception hut, so please take a look.)
- If you have a GoPro or something similar, it might be good to bring it. Taking photos with a smartphone can be risky if you drop it, and it’s hard to take it out of your pocket to shoot without feeling nervous.

○良かった点
・とにかく絶景！ビーチからよくパラセイリングをしているのを見えていたので、近場かと思ったら、思ったより沖でのスタート。同じ船に5〜6組乗っていて、小型船ですので、風や波を受けとても気持ち良かったです！
・風の強い日で、予約より1時間遅い時間でのスタートとなりました。その中で遅れて出発でもOKか、ディナーの予約はしてないか確認してくれての時間変更になりました！
・下記注意点たくさんありますが、、とっても楽しかったです！鳥になったようなまた行きたいので、興味ある方はぜひ！


●注意点
・基本全て英語なのでちょっと覚悟が必要・・・（写真撮影の方、船の中でのコミュニケーションは簡単な日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃいました）
・思った以上に船酔い、パラセーリングでも風で煽られるので、酔い止めが気になる方は迷ったら飲んだ方が正解です。ちょっとパラセイリングの上空で気持ち悪くなりました・・・
・集合場所は要注意！海とホテル横のプールと挟まれたところに大きな駐車場があります。その駐車場の中、海沿いの小さな小屋が受付ですが、全く分からず・・・（受付の小屋は写真アップしておきますので、ご覧ください。）
・Go Proとかあれば持っていくと良いかもしれません。スマホ撮影は落としたら・・・とか勇気がないとポケットから出して撮影は考えずらいです。。

Had an amazing time at Kualoa! The ATV experience was awesome, the crew was amazing, very informative & humorous, would definitely recommend! Side note: it does get VERY dusty so dont wear white or schedule anything after this. We had to go back to our hotel to shower and get a change of clothes. Besides that, 10/10!

The weather was nice, and the waves by the shore weren't too bad, but once we headed out to sea, raised the mast, and started sailing, the waves began to rise, and the thrilling experience of getting splashed was so much fun. We got quite wet, but by the time we returned to shore, we were completely dry. My husband and I talked about how if the price were a bit lower (it felt very much like Hawaii), we would be happy to go every time.

天気も良く岸辺の波は大したことはなかったのですが、沖合に出てマストを上げて航行が始まったころから何が高くなり始めてバッサーンと波を被りながらのヨット体験はとってもスリリングで楽しかったです。
結構濡れましたが岸に戻るころにはすっかり乾いていました。
もう少しお値段が安かったら（とてもHawaiiらしくて）毎回乗ってもいいねと主人と話しています。

My family had so much fun turtle snorkeling. My son got scared going in the middle of the ocean but the staff had him on his board and took him around to see the turtles and taught him so many fun facts. We had a special treat of having dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of snorkeling with turtles.

On the day of the visit, there was a sandbar, so we could walk. However, because the tide was low, the paddle boat was too shallow and got stuck, making it difficult to ride. Snorkeling was great as we were able to see two turtles. It was allowed to bring in beer, so we brought two bottles and chilled them. It seemed that people from Taiwan brought a case of six. Enjoying beer while snacking was the best!

当日はサンドバーが出ていて歩けました　逆に潮が引いていたためパドルボートが浅すぎて引っかかって上手く乗れなかった　シュノーケリングは亀が2匹も見れて良かったです　ビール持ち込みOKとなっていたので2本持っていって冷やしていただきました　台湾からの人は6本ケースで持ってきていたようです　スナックを食べながらのビール最高でした

This is my second time on the Kamataran. I repeated it because I had a great experience four years ago, and it was still amazing.

Last time, I encountered a pod of dolphins, which was a wonderful memory. This time, encountering sea turtles was the highlight!

今回2回目のカマタラン号
4年前に乗ったカマタラン号が良くてリピートしましたがやっぱり最高でした。

前回はイルカの群れと遭遇していい思い出。
今回は海亀と遭遇最高でした。

My wife can't swim, but the staff member Jenny warmly supported us until the end. Mahalo! I want to go to the sandbar again!

妻が泳げないのに、スタッフのジェニーがあたたかく最後まで、サポートしてくれました。マハロ！
また、サンドバーに行きたい！

We had super time snorkeling at Huanama Bay.
Dan is excellent trainer, very helpful and supportive. He made sure we had a great time. Took lot of pictures and shared with us. This will be life time memories.
I will advise who wants to do snorkeling do it with Dan. Blue Divers

This ATV experience was unlike any I’ve had before. It’s located on a farm, so you get to see the farm animals, feed them, and pet them, which is pretty cool. You can enjoy the farm life before or after you ride. I HIGHLY recommend using their goggles. Sunglasses do diddly squat when you’re out there riding; it gets very dusty. You ride to a track, do many laps on the track, and then ride to scenic areas where they will take pictures of you. The track got boring after a while; I recommend that they utilize more space or a different area for ATV rides to change it up. They took a video of us on the track, and wanted $10 for one minute-long video that included my family and people I didn’t know that were in and out of the frame in a flash. Needless to say, we did not buy the video. Despite this, they were kind-hearted and led us to see the beautiful scenery where we could get the best pictures. I enjoyed the experience!

Diving from the boat was the best experience for swimming. After that, a jacket is essential because it gets cold. The sunset was also very beautiful.

船からのダイブでスイミングは最高の経験。
その後、寒いので上着は必須です。
サンセットもとっても綺麗でした。

Most of the participants were from overseas, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, and they kindly taught us various things. I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It's essential to change clothes as your body gets cold.

参加者は海外の方がほとんどでしたが、日本語を日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、色々親切に教えて頂きました。
安心して楽しめました。体が冷えるので着替えはマストです。

The staff at the e-bike rental only spoke English, but they were very considerate, which I appreciated. I am glad that I was able to ride through the magnificent Kualoa Valley on an e-bike. I am also grateful to the staff. Thank you very much.

eバイクのスタッフさんは英語しか話せない方でしたが大変気を遣って頂き恐縮でした。あの雄大なクアロア渓谷をeバイクで駆け抜ける事が出来た事を嬉しく思います。スタッフさんにも感謝です。ありがとうございました。

ジャングルツアーは、木の実を食べたり登山をしたり
90分間で沢山の体験をして物凄く楽しめました。
悪路をトラックで走行するのはスリルがありました。
スタッフもナイスな人でとても楽しめました。

This is an experience you don't want to miss !
Crew and captain are definitely top tier !

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo

During my stay in Hawaii, the best experience by far was this tour.
● The scenery used in Jurassic Park. Specifically, there are vast grasslands with steep cliffs visible in the distance.
● Then, we crossed the forest and viewed Diamond Head from the top of a hill.
● This might be seasonal, but on the way back through the forest, the guide shared edible fruits and plants, keeping things interesting.

● The horses were calm, and there were few bugs, providing a rich experience. Since there was no trotting or galloping, I recommend it for beginners! Even as an experienced rider, I was completely satisfied without any fast-paced riding.

ハワイ滞在中、間違いなく最高の体験はこのツアーでした。
●ジュラシック・パークでも使われた風景。具体的には、草原が広がり遠くに切り立った崖が見えます。
●そして森を越えて、丘の上からダイアモンドヘッドを眺めました。
●これは季節限定かもしれないですが、帰りの森の中でもガイドさんは食べられる木の実や草を渡してくれて飽きさせない内容でした。

●馬たちもおとなしく、虫も少ない、心豊かな経験を得られました。速歩や駆け足はやらないので、初心者の方もオススメです！経験者ですが、速歩などなくても大満足でした。

It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.

This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!

One of the best tour. You would have lot of fun driving these ATVs in the Jurassic park.

We booked a private tour and it was the best experience ever. We got to spend longer times at the places we decided. Our driver was fun, knowledgeable, personable and professional. He made the experience even better. Our bus was a little rickety but probably because there were only 6 of us in it. We made the most of it and it definitely didn’t stop our fun. Would book again in a heartbeat.

The horse I rode was "Holoholo."
It was gentle and a bit slow.
I don't think it's a common experience for a complete beginner to ride a horse for two hours straight.
It's okay if you can't understand English.
I recommend it.

乗った馬は『ホロホロ』ちゃん。
おっとりしてて遅れ気味。
二時間ど素人が馬に乗り続けるなんてそうできる体験じゃないと思います。
英語聞き取れなくても大丈夫です。
おすすめします。

I was able to enjoy various activities freely within the time limit. There were few Japanese customers and staff, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so it wasn't a problem. However, I felt that the free time was quite long.

いろんなアクティビティを時間内に自由に遊ぶことができました。日本人のお客さん、スタッフは少なかったですが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので問題なかったです。ただ自由時間が結構長かったかなという印象です。

The view while ascending was very beautiful.
During the descent, the wind blew strongly, causing a loss of balance and I fell into the sea.
I was wearing a life jacket, so I didn't drown.
I think the probability of falling is low, but I believe it's wise to be cautious on windy days or when there is a significant weight difference between two people.

上がっている時の景色はとても綺麗でした。
降下している最中に、風が強く吹いてバランスが取れなくなり海に落下しました。
ライフジャケットを着ていたので溺れませんでした。
落ちる確率は低いと思いますが、風が強い日や、2人の体重差がある場合などは気をつけた方が良いと思いました。

First of all, it was great that a Japanese staff member assisted us upon arrival, making everything easy to understand. After that, it was all in English, but we managed somehow despite the language barrier. Riding the four-wheeled buggy was a thrilling and exciting experience, like an attraction at a theme park! The instructions mentioned that long pants were required, but in reality, most people were wearing shorts. Anyway, the dust was incredible, so our clothes got dirty. We spent two hours enjoying beautiful scenery and navigating bumpy roads while having a blast, and I was very satisfied!

まず、現地到着時は日本人スタッフの方が対応していただけたのでわかりやすくて良かったです。後は英語のみですが　わからないなりになんとかなりました。四輪バギーはテーマパークのアトラクションのようにスリルあってエキサイティングな経験でした！注意事項で長ズボン必須とありましたが　実際はみんな半パンがほとんどでした。とにかく砂ぼこりがすごいので服は汚れます。2時間　キレイな景色を見たり　デコボコ道をギャーギャー言いながら進んで行き　大満足でした！

Parasailing itself was very enjoyable! However, since there were about 10 people on the shared boat and we took turns flying in groups of 2 to 3, you have to wait on a rather rocky boat while others are parasailing. I got quite seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリング自体はとても楽しかったです！
ただ、10人程度の乗合船で、2〜3人ずつ順番に飛ぶため、他の人のパラセーリング中は結構揺れる船で待機することになります。
かなり船酔いするので、酔い止めは必須です

My family wanted to do the Horseback riding while vacationing in Hawaii.
This location was AMAZING! We drove out to the other side of the island, which was pretty awesome to be away from the touristy rside.
Our tour guide was a young gal who treated my family GREAT! She was very professional, kind and knowable about horses. I believe her name was Freda
The path (trail) we took was absolute Breathe taking. The ocean is sooooooo beautiful. Better than the tourist side! Even the grassy trails were . The horses are beautiful, well trained and they looked professionally cared for.
I rate Frida , the horses, the trail with 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Now… as for the other gal (straight blonde hair) who also was NOT our tour guide. I believe her name was Phoebe Giving her ⭐️
She was not interested in interacting with my family.
Wow.. as soon as youngsters arrived for their tour… Phoebe, was SOCIAL and guided them with EVERYTHING and she was giddy too. Total change.

We were all grouped together but would be toured separately. When she spoke out she said, you’ll go out separately and you’ll be taken out by me or Freda. Bam, I already knew she wasn’t going to be our tour guide because we weren’t young as the other group. She wanted to tour the ones closest to her age group. That’s perfectly fine but you’re not supposed to make it so obvious.

Anyhow, we were so PLEASED to have Freda guide us. She made this experience GREAT that we would do this again with her!
#Freda

First timers here! Crew is VERY organized and well experienced! From the moment we checked in t thru departing the crew handled customers with so much respect. .
Live band with GREAT, the funnies were actually funny and the activities were super fun! So happy to have experienced those with my family.

Would definitely pick this company again if I return to vacation in Hawaii.

I couldn't make a reservation until the last minute, but they were very kind and responded quickly. It was great since I wouldn't have been able to go on my own!
The waves were huge due to high tide, and I got swept away by the waves several times. Although the water wasn't clear, thanks to the high tide, I was able to see sea turtles!
I also saw a lot of fish, which was nice.
Since the water can be cold, those who are sensitive to the cold might want to wear a wetsuit.

予約開始ははギリギリでないとできなかったのですが、早めに対応して下さりとても親切でした。個人ではなかなか行けないので良かったです！
満ち潮のときだったのですごい波で、何度も波に流されました。透き通った海ではなかったのですが、満ち潮のおかげでウミガメが見れました！
魚もたくさん見れてよかっです。
体温を奪われるので、寒がりの方はウエットスーツがある方がいいかもです。
