Oahu
Best way to get to see all museums if you are touring on your own!
Great day on the water!! We got to see dolphins and the water was crystal clear it was nothing short of amazing
It was my first time ziplining, and I had a great time. Since there was no pickup service, I rented a car and easily made my way to Coral Crater Adventure Park. I booked the morning plan, and afterward, since Waikele Outlet is not far away, I was able to make the most of my day. It would have been even better if it were a bit more affordable, but I was satisfied because I could enjoy it safely and fun. There was also a plan with seven lines, but three lines were enough for us.
初めてのジップラインでしたが、すごく楽しかったです。
ピックアップはなかったので、レンタカーを借りて、コーラルクレーター・アドベンチャーパークへ迷うことなく行けました。午前のプランに予約を入れ、終わってからはワイケレアウトレットも遠くはないので、効率よく回れました。
できればもう少しお値打ちに体験できれば、もっと良かったですが、安全に楽しく遊べたので満足です。
7本のプランもありましたが、私達には3本でよかったです。
To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, we enjoyed snorkeling at a sandbar, just like we did on our honeymoon. It was with a foreign tour company that has a name just one letter different from "Heaven," and all the staff were extremely friendly. A Japanese staff member was in charge of the tour, and the larger of the two boats that set sail was completely full of Japanese passengers.
After enjoying the sandbar, we had lunch with BBQ hamburgers prepared by the captain himself. Following that, we were able to snorkel for a full hour around the coral reef where sea turtles are found, and we returned to port while watching the sea turtles. It was a truly satisfying experience.
結婚35周年の節目にあたり、新婚旅行で体験したサンドバーのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。「天国」さんと一字違いの外資系のツアー会社ですが、スタッフ全員が非常にフレンドリーで日本スタッフのお姉様がツアーを仕切っており、2隻出航した大きい方の船は乗客全員が日本人で満員でした。
サンドバーを楽しんでから船長自らBBQしたハンバーガーなどの昼食を食べた後は、ウミガメがいる珊瑚礁の周囲をたっぷり1時間シュノーケリングすることができ、ウミガメウォッチングをしながら帰港するなど大満足の体験でした。
The food was ok. The noodles were the best part. The entertainment wad better definately. Did not get to see as much sunset due to the mountains.
Great experience. Great crew. Great music. Great adventure. So much fun!!!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It's a small aquarium, but the tour itself was wonderful, and I had a great time without feeling bored. My parents (65 years old) were also satisfied.
小さな水族館ですがツアー内容自体素晴らしく、時間を持て余すことなくとても楽しめました。両親(65歳)も満足していました。
It was the day after we arrived in Hawaii, but I was able to walk energetically. The group members were friendly, with an equal mix of Japanese and international participants, and the two guides led us in both Japanese and English, making the hike enjoyable.
ハワイ到着の翌日でしたが、元気に歩けました。
参加メンバーも和気藹々、日本人と海外の方と半々でしたが、ガイドさんお二人が日本語と英語で引率、楽しくハイキング出来ました。
Great for all ages! My kids said it was the best day ever. They’re 4 & 6. Was able to kayak, SUP and snorkel. Also chilled inside the boat with live music. Everyone was so friendly and helpful showing their Aloha. Would recommend to anyone going to Oahu. Totally worth the price!
Mahalo for your review! We're so glad your family had a great time. -Team KBOS
I was able to see dolphins from a distance. It was my first time, and I had a lot of fun. However, it was more intense than I expected, and many Japanese women seemed to get seasick or looked uncomfortable. Since I had experienced snorkeling for the first time beforehand, I managed to keep up, but it might have been scary if it had been my first time. Also, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Even after getting back on land, I still felt a bit wobbly. Still, I'm glad I had the experience!
イルカを遠くでしたが見ることが出来ました。初めてでしたが、楽しかったです。ただ、思っていたより激しいので、日本人の女性たちは酔ってしまったり、きつそうな人が多かったです。事前に初めてのシュノーケリングを体験していたので、なんとかついていけましたが、初めてだったら怖かったかもしれません。あと酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいかもです。陸に上がった後もゆらゆらしてました。それでも体験できてよかったです!
Thank you for joining us!
We appreciate your advice on taking motion sickness medication, as there may be waves even in areas without wind.
Like Nunu, practicing snorkeling before the actual day will help you enjoy it even more!
ご参加ありがとうございました!
風はなくても波がある場所を通ることもございますので、酔い止めのアドバイスありがとうございます。
ぬぬーさんのように、シュノーケルも本番前に練習しておくと、より当日楽しんでいただけると思います!
I loved the sandbar! The service was outstanding!!! from the guy with the flower in his hat going over the rules and dancing. To the lifeguard that helped us attract fish while snorkeling. Most importantly, I am very happy with the service that was provided by the guy with the sun screen across with nose that gave us kayak and prattle boarding lessons. They all made me and my family comfortable and super welcomed!
Mahalo for your kind words! - Team KBOS
Wonderful, my family was very happy and excited, an unforgettable experience
The experience was great. The crew and the live music were great. We love all of the availability of the water sports- paddle boats, kayaks, snorkeling, lounging on the barge. The lunch was served right away so we were on a full stomach and it gave a chance for any late strivers to come on board.
Overall just a beautiful experience. The crew was super friendly, and super helpful with first time paddle boarders, snorkeling, and Kayak-ing people . The floating deck was awesome! I have been on a few other afternoon water excursions, by far this was the best one! Croissant sandwich was tasty and brought my own drinks! My kids are teenagers and they Also had a blast with all the activities ! This Trip was perfect for the entire family.. you won’t regret it.
Mahalo for sharing your experience with us - Team KBOS
Everything was great. We saw turtles and enjoyed the reef. It was a little difficult to eat lunch on the boat as there were not really any good seats for it. But the burgers were delicious.
Great service and hospitality. This is well worth your time and money.
Aloha Adam! We are so happy to hear you had an excellent time with our crew on the outrigger canoe! It is truly a unique and thrilling experience. We hope to have you back again sometime soon. Mahalo
Very nice experience, beautiful landscapes, your mind flies with so much nature and seeing the places where you saw a movie, wow! Spectacular experience, I recommend it
It was the tour I was looking forward to the most, and the weather was great, making it the best day ever!! It felt like heaven, and I was so happy!! Snorkeling and swimming with the fish was a wonderful experience!
一番楽しみにしてたツアーで天気もよくて最高な一日でした!!天国って感じで幸せでした!!
シュノーケリングで魚とも泳げていい経験でした!
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!
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!
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。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
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。
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
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.
Mahalo for joining our tour and sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that the weather was not great and you had a disappointing experience snorkeling on the day of your tour. We hope your Hawaii vacation will still be a memory to remember to make you want to come back and visit us again.
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!
Mahalo for your review and nice picture! - Team KBOS
One of the best tour. You would have lot of fun driving these ATVs in the Jurassic park.
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。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your photos. From all of us at KBOS.

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。
