Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.

I arrived at the meeting place on time, but there were no tour staff, which made me anxious. Since everything is in English, I recommend joining a tour with Japanese-speaking staff for those who feel uneasy. For those who are okay with just a general understanding, the staff will explain things in an easy-to-understand manner, so please give it a try. I was able to see both sea turtles and wild dolphins perfectly!
集合場所に時間通りに着いたのにツアースタッフがいなくて不安になりました。全て英語なので、不安な方は日本語スタッフのいるツアーに参加される事をお勧めします。何となくでも良い方にはスタッフが分かりやすい言葉て教えてくれるので、参加してみて下さい。ウミガメも野生のイルカもバッチリ見ることができました!

I participated with my child (a college student). Since there was no transportation provided, we walked a lot from our hotel, which was near Honolulu Zoo. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. Once we flew, the view was spectacular, and we enjoyed a different side of Hawaii. They don't provide drinks, so it's best to bring your own.

I participated with my 20-year-old nephew. We were a bit worried since both of us get motion sickness, but the boat didn't rock much, so it was fine. There were five groups of ten people, including us, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The moments of going up and down were thrilling, and during the descent, they made it a bit of a steep drop and let us down into the sea, which was a lot of fun. The view from above was breathtaking, and it was the best experience. I definitely want to participate again!

The guides, reception, bus attendants, and tour guides were all in English. Therefore, I could only understand the atmosphere, but it was a lot of fun.
The pickup was from a nearby hotel. The bus, which had a capacity of 50 people, had seats like those in a Mercedes. On the way there, it felt about half full. On the way back, it was almost at full capacity. Upon arrival, we gathered with various tour guests and received a brief explanation. After that, we had free time until the reception time to change clothes, put our belongings in lockers, or look for souvenirs. It’s a good idea to head to the respective tour locations by the reception time.
As for the actual tour, we rode in buggies lined up in six rows, stopping about five times along the way for the guide to explain the filming locations and scenery. Of course, I didn’t understand any English, so I just got the general vibe.
Also, since it had rained the day before, there was no dust, but there were about five small ponds, and my wife and I jumped right in, getting completely soaked! So, if you want to dive into the ponds, changing clothes is a must. We stopped at about two spots that felt like Jurassic Park, and at the gate of Jurassic Park, my wife took pictures while sitting in the passenger seat of the buggy, so there were no issues.
Overall, it was a lot of fun, and the guide was super high-energy, telling lots of American jokes, which was great (even though I couldn't understand). I’d love to come back once I can speak English.
After the tour, the bus departs pretty much on time, so let’s head to where we got off. If you don’t get on early on the way back, there might not be any seats available.
ガイドさん、受付、バスの案内人、ツアーの案内人、全て英語です。
そのため、ほぼ雰囲気でしかわからなかったですが、とても楽しかったです。
ピックアップは、近くのホテルから。
50人乗りの内装がベンツのシートのバスでした。行きは半分くらい埋まる感じ。帰りはほぼ満席でした。
現地に到着し、いろんなツアーのお客さんをまとめて、ざっと説明あり。その後、受付時間まで自由時間。着替えやロッカーに荷物入れたり、お土産見たりします。
受付時間には、それぞれのツアーの場所へ行くと良いでしょう。
さて、実際のツアーですが、6列並んでバギーで走行し、途中5回くらいとまり、ガイドさんから撮影現場や景色の説明がありました。
もちろん当方全く英語わからないので、雰囲気で理解笑
また、前日雨が降っていたため、埃は舞いませんでしたが、小池スポットが5ヶ所くらいあり、夫婦で思いっきり突っ込んだため、びしょびしょになりました笑
そのため、小池に突っ込みたい人は着替えは必須です。
ジュラシックパークっぽいところに2箇所くらい止まりましたし、ジュラシックパークのゲートのところは最後バギー乗りながら助手席の妻が撮影してくれたので、何も問題なかったです。
とにかく終始楽しかったし、ガイドさんもめっちゃハイテンションでアメリカンジョークたくさん話すので、とても良かった(理解はできなかったけど)
英語をできるようになったらもう一回来たいですね
ツアー後は割と時間通りにバスが出ますので、降りたところに行きましょう。
帰りは早めに乗らないと席がないかも。

The meeting place is the Aloha Landing bus stop at Sheraton Waikiki (I waited on the bench in front of the Plumeria wall). It seems that a location close to the hotel you are staying at is chosen. I had read articles that if you are even a little late overseas, you can be left behind, so I arrived 20 minutes early to stand by. I noticed a group of people dressed similarly (in clothes that could get dirty), so I approached them and found out they were gathering for the bus to Kualoa Ranch. (There was no announcement from the attendants, though.) I was asked to show my passport or credit card for identification, and I was able to board the bus without any issues!
I had read other people's experiences and watched YouTube posts beforehand, so I was well-prepared for the details of the tour and dust protection. Although I couldn't take photos in front of the iconic tree from Jurassic World as shown in the tour photos (I knew this in advance, so I wasn't oddly disappointed), I was able to take plenty of pictures at other shooting points. My favorite photo is one where I used perspective with a dinosaur figure!
The explanations are all in English, but the guides were friendly and full of humor, so even those of us who don't understand English had a great time. I was advised to wear long pants, but I participated in shorts, and it was no problem at all. Regarding the dust, the upper body gets quite dirty. I had purchased a T-shirt at ABC Store the day before, ready to throw it away, and that was a great decision.
Goggles and a neck warmer (both of which can be borrowed at the reception) are essential during the ride! Including travel time and experience time, it takes about half a day to a full day, but both my husband and I were very satisfied and glad we participated in the tour!
集合場所はシェラトンワイキキのアロハランディングバス乗り場(プルメリアの壁の前のベンチで待ちました)泊まっているホテルから近い場所がチョイスされるみたいです。海外では少しでも遅れると置いて行かれるとの記事を読んでいたので、集合の20分前には到着しスタンバイ。気付いたら似たような格好(汚れてもいいような服装)の人たちの集団があったので、近寄ったらクアロア牧場行きのバスの集まりでした。(アテンド係の声掛けはありませんでした汗)本人確認のためにパスポートかクレジットカードの提示を求められ、無事バス乗車!
事前に他の方の体験談を読んだりyoutebeの体験投稿を見て行ったのでツアーの詳細や砂埃の対策も充分にしていきました。ツアー写真にあるような、theジュラシックワールドの大木、看板の前での写真撮影は出来ませんでしたが(事前に知っていたので変にがっかりする事もありませんでした)その他の撮影ポイントでしっかり写真撮影出来ました。特に恐竜の人形を遠近法を使って撮った写真がお気に入りです!
説明は全て英語で行われますが、ガイドの方は気さくでユーモアに溢れている方たちで英語が分からない私たちでも十分に楽しめました。
服装は長ズボンで、ことでしたが半ズボンで参加しました。全く問題ありませんでした。砂埃の汚れについてですが、上半身はかなり汚れます。私は前日にABCストアでTシャツを捨てる覚悟で購入していたのですが、大正解でした。
走行中はゴーグル・ネックウォーマー?(←いずれも受付で貸してもらえます)が必須!!
移動時間、体験時間含めて半日〜1日はかかりますが、それでも参加して良かったと夫婦共に大満足なツアーでした!!

The scenery was absolutely stunning. There was a bit of rain during our visit, but it might have helped reduce the dust. The staff's stories were interesting, but it was a shame that I couldn't understand enough English. There are many filming locations from movies, so watching and familiarizing yourself with films like Jurassic Park, Jumanji, and Kong beforehand might enhance your experience.
とにかく景色が最高でした。私たちの時は途中少し雨がパラついたのですが、その分埃が少なくなってくれたかもしれません。スタッフの話も面白かったのですが、英語が十分に理解できなかったのは残念です。とにかく映画のロケ地が多いので、事前にジュラシックパーク、ジュマンジ、コングなどを見て覚えておくともっと楽しめるかも。

I participated with my daughter (18 years old). Since I'm not very comfortable with heights, we chose the 120m course. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and we were informed that the captain would decide whether to proceed, but we set sail safely, and all 13 participants enjoyed parasailing.
As mentioned in other reviews, there was some swaying (the boat was just the right size for the 13 participants that day; I think it could hold a bit more). I took motion sickness medication, but my daughter seemed to feel a bit seasick. I was fine, so I think it depends on the day's conditions.
The staff noticed my daughter's condition and flexibly changed her turn to an earlier time, allowing her to soar into the blue sky and enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Other participants were also concerned about her, which was very helpful.
I purchased the photos taken by the staff for $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and provided an SD card. Since the photos were taken from below, opinions on how they turned out may vary, but as they are digital, it's easy to enlarge and check them, and I think they make a nice keepsake. It seemed that other participants chose the 150m option, but even at 120m, there is a decent height, and I believe those who are hesitant can still enjoy this experience. My wife and son did not participate this time, but if they are interested, I would like to join again next time.
本人(50代)と娘(18才)の2名で参加しました。
あまり高いところは得意ではないので、120mのコースを選択しました。
当日は風が強く、ツアーの実施はキャプテンの判断との説明を受けましたが、無事に出航して、参加者13人全員がパラセーリングを楽しんでいます。
他の方のレビューにも書かれていますが、それなりに揺れがあります。(ボートは当日の13人で丁度くらいの大きさです。もう少しは乗れると思いますが。)酔い止め薬を飲み参加しましたが、娘は少し船酔いした様子でした。わたしは大丈夫だったので、その日のコンディションもあると思います。
スタッフの方が娘の様子を見て、臨機応変に早めの順番に変更してくれたので、娘も青空に舞い上がり、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの風景を楽しむことができました。他の参加者の方も娘の様子を気にかけてくださり、助かりました。
スタッフの方が撮影してくれた写真は40$で購入しました。iPhoneへのデータ転送とSDカードが貰えます。写真は下から撮影されるので、撮れ方は賛否あると思いますが、デジタルデータなので拡大して確認することは容易ですし、良い記念なったと思っています。他の参加者は150mを選択されていたようですが、120mでもそこそこ高さがあり、尻込みされている方はこちらでも楽しめると思うので、参加されたら良いと思います。妻と息子が今回不参加だったので、次回、希望があれば、また参加したいと思います。

I was able to make a reservation the day before, and the pickup location and time were emailed to me right away, which was reassuring. I had heard that there could be trouble if you don't know the meeting place, but it was clear at the ABC Store, so there were no issues.
About 30 of us boarded the bus, and we left Waikiki, arriving at the pier in 45 minutes. There, a Japanese staff member joined us and provided a helpful explanation in advance. On the boat, we also enjoyed live music.
The activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and I was satisfied to have about two hours to use freely. However, since it was "do as you please," beginners should learn how to do each activity in advance.
About a quarter of the participants were Japanese. The staff were all friendly, and it was a fulfilling experience without any feelings of loneliness. I highly recommend it.
前日に予約がとれましたが、ピックアップの場所と時間は直ぐにメールされたので安心。待ち合わせの場所がわからずトラブルになるケースかあると聞いていましたが、ABCストア前でお店のナンバーが明快だったのでトラブルなし。

There was a small note on the boat suggesting tips, but there was no pressure to give them at all. We participated as a group of four, and no one paid tips. Regarding photos, they asked if we wanted to take some, and when I declined, they responded with a smile and said, "Don't worry."
The view over 100 meters is beyond words! The waves weren't high, and I didn't feel seasick. The staff primarily spoke English, but one of the assistants seemed to speak broken Japanese.

I was able to drive with my Japanese license. Along the way, we stopped at 4 to 5 locations where we took off our helmets and received explanations about the stunning viewpoints, and we also took photos. It's possible to switch drivers as a couple, so I recommend registering for that during the initial application.
It was my first time driving a buggy. Since the accelerator and brake were out of reach with the seatbelt on, I placed my left foot on top of the tire cover and drove at an angle, which worked fine.
As a recommendation, the sand dust is quite intense, so wearing white shirts, pants, or bags is a no-go. Although it’s hot, I recommend something like a windbreaker made of crinkly fabric.

We participated in a tour starting at noon with our family of four. We took a shuttle bus to Kualoa Ranch, and upon arrival, there was an explanation in English. After that, a staff member who spoke Japanese provided explanations for Japanese guests, and we received a different voucher from the one we had at the time of booking. When it was time, we showed our voucher, got equipped with helmets, watched a driving instruction video in Japanese, and then boarded the buggies.
We couldn't drive freely; instead, we followed a few buggies led by a guide, traveling at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Occasionally, we were gestured to close the gap between vehicles. There were several stops where we could get off the buggies for explanations and photo opportunities. However, all the explanations were in English, so I could only understand bits and pieces. I thought it would have been better if I had known more about Kualoa's geography and history in advance.
We skipped the area that seemed to have been used for filming Jurassic Park. If you want to get off and take photos in such places, I think the Jurassic Park tour would be better. My father, who wasn't used to driving on the left side, tended to veer to the right, which was a bit nerve-wracking. But he seemed to get used to it after a while.
Driving the buggy was pleasant and fun, but we ended up covered in dust. Our clothes, bags, and shoes were all dusty. I recommend wearing clothes and carrying bags that you don't mind getting dirty, and either leaving them in a locker or putting them in a plastic bag. After getting off the buggy, I was shocked when I looked in the mirror at the handwashing station. There was sand in the gap between my helmet and goggles, creating a line of dust on my eyebrows and forehead, making for a funny look. You won't feel refreshed unless you wash your face thoroughly.
I wouldn't recommend going out right after the buggy tour. We took a shower, changed clothes, and went out to eat. After finishing the buggy ride around 2 PM, I planned to eat at Kualoa, but by that time, the hot dogs and other food were sold out. Since I was hungry, I only had ice cream. I wonder if the morning tours are better. I also considered the horseback riding tour, so I would like to try that next time.
家族4人で12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シャトルバスでクアロア牧場までいき、着いたら英語での説明でしたが、その後日本人用に日本語の話せすスタッフの方から説明があり、予約時のバウチャーとは別のバウチャーが渡されました。時間がきたらバウチャーをみせて、メットなどを装備してもらい、日本人用の運転の説明動画を見て、バギーに乗り込みました。好き勝手に走れるわけでなく、ガイドの方が運転する先頭のバギーに何台か連なり最高速度20キロで走行。たまに車間を狭めろとジェスチャーが。何箇所かバギーを降りて説明と写真の時間があります。
しかし、全て英語での説明なので断片的にしかわからず。事前にもっとクアロアの地のこと、歴史などを知っていれば良かったかなと思いました。
最後の方のジュラシックパークの撮影で使ったようなものがいっぱいあるところはスルーでした。
そういうところで降りて写真をとったりしたいならジュラシックパークのツアーのがよいかと思います。
左ハンドルに慣れていない父は右側に寄りがちで

2時過ぎバギーが終わってから、クアロアでご飯を食べるつもりでしたが、その時間ではホットドッグなどの食べ物にSOLDOUTの表示が。

The only other ways to get to this beautiful gem is to rent a kayak and row your way here (appx 45mins each way, with no wind) or with another tour boat company. In Hawaii, the only way to a private boat is if you know someone who owns a boat, or if you are military (where you can rent the boat, but in Honolulu area).
I always enjoyed the going out to Kaneohe Bay with OSA.

I was very excited about this adventure and can say it was my absolute favorite excursion on our 2wk vacation. My family also agrees.
The ride out to the sandbar was so lovely and relaxing with the live music. All of the staff was so friendly and check in and boarding went smoothly. The views from the sandbar were spectacular! We spent our time snorkeling, paddleboarding and soaking in the views. The live music playing from the boat really set the aloha mood. We would definitely book this excursion again!

This was a great way to spend our afternoon. The water sports offered were so fun! This was hands down the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. The reef and fish were beautiful. The crew was helpful and energetic.I felt so comfortable during this entire excursion! To top it all off, the live performers were OUTSTANDING. It was the perfect way to ride out into the beautiful Hawaiian waters. Loved loved loved this!

I participated with my daughter. While on the boat heading out, we were told we were too light, which made us anxious, but another mom who was with us agreed to jump together, so we were able to experience it safely. That mom was able to jump twice, once with her family and once with us, so we are very grateful for her help, but I don't think we did anything wrong, haha. If you're told you're too light, I think it's okay to ask someone else on board, "Could someone jump with me?"
We flew high right away, and it was fun without any scary shaking. The flight time was satisfying.
The meeting point is at the JTB HiBus bus stop. After getting off at Discovery Bay, head towards the sea, and once you reach the water, turn left towards the Hilton Lagoon.
Whether or not to take photos will be confirmed when you jump. For iPhone users, you can use AirDrop, and for Android users, it was $40 to purchase the SD card. Card payments are accepted.
母娘で参加しました。沖に向かうボート内で、二人は軽すぎて駄目だと言われて焦りましたが、乗り合わせた他のママが一緒に飛んでくれることになって、無事に体験できました。そのママも自分の家族とうちの回とで2回飛べたので、こちらとしては名乗り上げてくれて大感謝ですが、悪いことをしたわけでもないと思いますw 軽すぎて駄目と言われたら、乗り合わせた人に「誰か一緒に飛んでください」とお願いしてもいいと思います。
すぐに高く飛び、特に揺れるような怖さもなく楽しかったです。飛行時間は満足できました。
集合場所は、JTBのHiBusのバス停 ディスカバリー・ベイで降りたら、海に向かい、海に着いたら左に曲がったヒルトン・ラグーンの前あたりです。
写真撮影するかどうかは飛ぶ時に確認されます。iPhoneだとAirDrop渡し、AndroidだとSDカードごと購入で40ドルでした。カード払いOK。

I enjoyed every aspect of this excursion, from the moment i was picked up from the pick up spot in Waikiki, to the excursion itself, and to the return back to Waikiki. The banana tubing and regular tubing was a lot of fun, i do find myself as a snorkeling junkie, so I mostly snorkeled the entire time. I saw some amazing fish in the reef. I felt very safe all day. My friend did the kayaking and SUPing and enjoyed their time. The musicians were amazing. I would like to thank everyone for such a great experience.

It was amazing to race through the off-road trails with views of the mountains and the sea in the vast nature! I took a lot of photos and I'm soaking in the memories! There were only English-speaking staff, but they were very kind and accommodating! Since dust will cover your whole body, I recommend going with clothes and gear prepared for that, haha. If anyone is going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once! Thank you for the fun time! ^_^
広大な大自然の中、山と海がみえるオフロードを駆け抜けるのは最高でした!!
写真をたくさん撮って思い出に浸ってます!!
英語のスタッフだけでしたが、親切に対応してくださいました!!
砂ぼこりが全身に降りかかるので、それを覚悟した服装、持ち物で行くのがおすすめです笑
ハワイに行く人がいたなら、一度は体験することを必ずお勧めしようと思います!!
楽しい時間をありがとうございました^_^

Participated with 2 adults and 2 teens. We chose all included package with banana boat and bumper boat for the teens. They enjoyed the rides very much! Snorkeling was amazing, the area was shallow with reef areas. The water was so clear, we could see many fish easily. Tried kayak and SUP and both were so fun even for us as beginners. Music was amazing, staff was super kind and welcoming. If we had more days, we wanted to do it again!

There are similar tours available but this is the best tour by far! We chose the morning tour. Donuts (2-3 different types), orange juice and water were provided in a boat while going to Sandbar. Probably it took about 10-15 minutes to get there. 2 staff played live music and sang variety of songs. It was beautiful and they are great singers! In the boat, there are a few bathrooms for women and I believe one bathroom for men. Life vest is available for everyone. You can bring your own beverage including alcohol. You can do some water activities or relax in the boat. Snorkeling gear is available for free, kayak and SUP are also available though you may need to wait for your turn if they are occupied. Just being in the water (we went there at high tide and the water was close to my neck and I’m 5’4”) was relaxing since the water was so warm and clear. If you have small children, you may want to choose low tide timing unless your kids are comfortable with deeper water. There was no wave (very gentle water movement). I strongly recommend this tour to everyone. This tour provides something for everyone to have fun!
