Educational, fun, and awe inspiring views all around this North Shore Eco Tour of the 10,000 acre ranch. Ryan was knowledgeable, showing us all of the different flora and wild boar trails, and went out of his way to provide extra help for me getting in and out of the vehicle and in and out of the water. Had a great time at the "playground" being the only participant to fall completely off my seat! What a great time it was bouncing around the property and basking in nature's beauty.

I was very nervous before trying parasailing at a height of 150 meters for the first time, but the staff were kind and it was a lot of fun throughout. I didn't feel unsafe and would like to participate again. The motorboat swayed a bit on the waves, so I took motion sickness medication before going.
初めてパラセイリングで150mの高さは乗る前はとてもドキドキでしたが、スタッフ方たちが親切で終始とても楽しかったです。

The tour was fun, but the high waves in Waikiki and the simple life jackets that resembled airplane life vests seemed difficult for my 7-year-old child for snorkeling. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was enjoyable to sail out with the yacht's sails up. It might be fine for children who are strong swimmers and accustomed to snorkeling.
ツアーは楽しかったですが、
7歳の子供にはワイキキの高い波と、
飛行機の救命胴衣のような簡易ライフジャケットはシュノーケルには難しかったようです。
シュノーケルでウミガメも見れましたし、
ヨットの帆を張って沖まで行ったりして楽しかったです。
泳力とシュノーケル慣れのある子供なら大丈夫かも。

This is a tour I wanted to go on for a long time. Since going individually with THE BUS takes a lot of time, I decided to join this tour.
Upon arrival, I received a tour explanation in Japanese, and during the waiting time, I was able to see horses and take photos.
The movie location tour was great as we traveled while enjoying the magnificent mountains from the bus. It was nice to take pictures with dinosaur bones used in Jurassic World.
The Kaneohe Bay cruise was smooth without feeling seasick, and there was no splashing of seawater (those who don't mind getting wet can sit at the front), allowing us to relax while enjoying the beautiful sea.
However, the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand much. Also, since I was seated at the very back of the bus on the return trip, it was too cold, and I felt like I might catch a cold.

We had a great transportation to and from the boat. The driver was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the area.I loved being able to snorkel, swim and just be on the platform. There was musical entertainment on the boat, which was nice on the way to and on the way back from the sandbar. The crew made everything fun and made sure that everyone was safe. I would do it again, for sure, and maybe next time I will have the courage to try the stand up paddle board.

I was able to explore under clear skies without encountering any squalls.
I had high expectations for the movie location tour, so I felt it was just okay and wasn't particularly moved. However, I was impressed by the breathtaking views during the jungle exploration tour, especially since I didn't have high expectations for that. It's all about not expecting too much!

This time, I purchased from Veltra because there was a discount coupon. If there is no coupon, it's cheaper to buy on-site using coupons like those found in free papers. Also, for seniors, even at regular price, it's cheaper on-site.
今回はベルトラの割引クーポンがあったので、ベルトラから購入しました。クーポンがない場合には、フリーペーパーについているようなクーポンを利用して現地で購入したほうが安いです。
また、シニアのかたは定価でも、現地のほうが安いです。

Driving the buggy can be a bit nerve-wracking at first, but you'll get used to it if you keep at it. I had so much fun driving for over two hours! You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii compared to Waikiki.
After the buggy ride, the lunch break before getting on the bus is short, so you should either order right away as soon as the activity ends or stick to something simple like a sandwich, otherwise, you won't have time to eat due to the high number of participants.
バギーの運転は最初不安があるものの、続けていれば慣れます。二時間以上運転してとにかく楽しかった!ワイキキとは違うハワイを満喫できます。
バギーの後、バスに乗る前のランチの時間が短いので、アクティビティが終了次第すぐに注文するか、サンドウィッチなど簡単なもので済ますかしないと、利用者が多いので食事をする時間がなくなります。

It was a fun experience to fully enjoy nature! However, the guide only spoke English, so I couldn't understand anything and couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. Although the sand dust flew around and made my face completely black, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan to ride through while looking at the sea and mountains on a buggy.

I was a bit worried because it was mentioned that there wouldn't be a Japanese guide, but after seeing other people's posts and asking specific questions in advance, I received polite answers, which put me at ease.
Since the pickup was early, I wanted to have breakfast on the bus, but I found out that wasn't possible, so I was able to have breakfast beforehand and prepare my outfit.
The dust was quite intense, but I was ready for it, and above all, the scenery was wonderful. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the Jurassic Park filming locations a bit more.
It was a bit disappointing that all the explanations along the way were in English, so I couldn't understand much. Overall, I'm glad I participated!
日本語ガイドさんいないと記載あったので少し心配してましたが、他の方の投稿みたり、具体的にわからなかったことも事前に質問すると丁寧に回答いただき、安心できました。
質問内容は早いお迎えだったのでできたら、行きのバスの中で朝食食べたかったのですが、それはできないとわかり、事前に朝食すませたり、服装も準備できました。
砂埃がすごかったですが、汚れてもいい準備してましたし、何より素晴らしい景色でよかったです。
欲を言えばもう少しだけジュラシックパークのロケ地まわりもしたかったです。
また途中の説明は全部英語なのであまり理解できなかったのは残念でした。

This activity involves flying a sail with a wire while running on a boat, similar to kite flying. You go quite high, but because the sail is large, the descent is slow, and you don't feel that floating sensation in your stomach. The view from above was beautiful and calm, with no swaying left or right except for the wind, but looking down brought a considerable sense of fear due to the height.
The check-in was quick, just a signature, but the waiting time before starting was about 30 minutes. We went quite far offshore, and with two people in each of the five groups, we each flew for about 10 minutes in turn. The boat keeps moving during the trip back and forth and while the other groups are flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick.
On the way back, as the wire is reeled in, each group gets partially dipped in the sea, but we ended up completely soaked, so wearing clothes that can get wet is advisable. Three of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, and two groups, including ours, were travelers from Japan.
凧揚げをするように船で走りながらワイヤー付きのセイルを飛ばすアクティビティです。
かなり高いところまで行きますがセイルが大きいため、降下時もゆっくりでお腹がふわっとなる感覚はありません。
上空も左右に振られず風以外は穏やかで美しい景色を見れましたが、足元を見ると高さで中々の恐怖感がありました。
受付はサインだけなのですぐに終わりましたが、始まるまでの待ち時間は30分くらい。
船でかなり沖合まで出て、2人×5組いたのでそれぞれ順番に10分程飛びました。
行き帰りと他の組が飛んでいる間、船は走り続けますので少しでも乗り物で酔う人は酔い止めを飲んでおくことをおすすめします。
ワイヤーを巻き取って戻ってくる途中、どの組も海に半分だけ漬けられるのですが、我々だけ全身浸かってしまいずぶ濡れになりましたので、濡れてもいい服装がおすすめです。
参加者は3組がアメリカ本土からの旅行者で、我々を含む2組は日本からの旅行者でした。

The experience of driving the 4-wheel buggy course at Kualoa Ranch was fantastic with beautiful scenery, and the staff were friendly. However, the waiting times after pickup and before starting, as well as after finishing and waiting for the return shuttle, were over 3 hours in total—2 hours and more than 1 hour respectively. Even with shopping for souvenirs and having a meal, it felt like too much time. There were no other attractions to pass the time, making it a boring and wasted experience. It would be more efficient to skip the shuttle and book directly on-site, as it would save valuable time during a day in Hawaii.

You can switch drivers along the way, so it seems like fun no matter how many people you go with! The buggy instructors don't speak Japanese, so those who don't understand English might not get much information (laughs). However, they take photos at the key spots, and everyone is friendly♪
Also, since you'll be driving on dry dirt, there's a lot of dust. Be careful, as the helmet can make your face dirty!

I was very excited to go on this activity, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. When you arrive at check-in, they will not validate your parking (which is the opposite of the information you get in your confirmation email) so expect to pay $15 for parking and not $4. Next, they will take some pictures in front of a wall mural before you go into the boat. They don't give you a choice of whether you want to be photographed or not and they do not tell you that the pictures will cost $50 if you want them. The pictures actually came out nice so I asked if I could just buy one and they said that was not possible...way to be accommodating to your guests. The time on the cruise is way too long and they could really use a host that sounds excited to be there. The singer was fine but keeps the energy too mellow, you could see that everyone was ready to get off the cruise after an hour. I specifically chose this type of boat expecting that it would be more stable and I wouldn't get seasick but I did. I'd say if you really want a sunset cruise experience, I'd try out a catamaran since the vibe on those looks a lot more lively and friendly than on this bigger vessel...The best part of the cruise was of course the views (the bartender and server were nice as well.)
Aloha Jennifer,

We gathered in front of the hotel early in the morning (5:45 AM) and watched the sunrise until our reservation time for Hanauma Bay (6:30 AM). This activity does not require a reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, but you need to purchase tickets on-site, and you have to wait in line until it's time. I felt that time was a bit wasted, but I guess that's what you get for a cheap tour. One participant in the same tour kindly purchased tickets for everyone at the counter. Of course, we all lined up together.
If the tour included the ticket price, I suppose there wouldn't be any need to wait in line? I saw some people entering without waiting. Since everything was explained in English, there were some things I didn't understand. I heard there are lockers available, but I think it's better to take valuables to the beach. Someone needs to keep an eye on the bags. The snorkeling gear was cheap, and it was hard to breathe underwater. Some people mentioned it broke halfway through. The driver said if we called, he would help us... in English.
If you want to participate in the tour efficiently and with peace of mind, I think it's better to join a Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour guided by Japanese staff, even if it's a bit more expensive.
朝早くから(5時45分)ホテル前集合で、ハナウマ湾の予約時間(6時30分)まで朝日が昇るのを見てました。
