Oahu
Everything was in English from the pickup, but the instructions for operating the buggy were in a Japanese video, so that was fine. It rained during the trip and we got soaked, but that was fun too.
It felt more like enjoying nature rather than just visiting movie filming locations. At the filming spots, the guide was very friendly and took photos for us, which was great.
We had some time before the bus, so we ate a hamburger, but it was expensive (we couldn't use our JCB card).
送迎から全て英語でしたがバギーの操作説明は日本語ビデオだったので大丈夫でした、途中雨が降ってびしょ濡れになりましたがそれも楽しかったです。
映画の撮影地をまわると言うより自然を見て楽しむ感じでした、撮影スポットではガイドの方が写真を撮ってくれたりとてもフレンドリーで良かったです。
バスまで時間があったのでハンバーガーを食べましたが高かったです(JCBのカードが使えませんでした)
During the rainy season, I encountered a downpour comparable to a typhoon while on a horse without a roof to shield me. Being by the sea, the wind and rain were so intense that I felt like I was in a survival situation. I was shivering from the cold, completely soaked, and worried about getting injured because the horses nearby were not compatible and were acting up. Looking back after returning home, it has become a funny story, but I really wanted to give up at one point. However, I believe this is just a matter of luck with the weather, so it can't be helped. I'm grateful to the staff who assisted us despite the delays caused by traffic. If I participate again, I will definitely choose a buggy.
雨季だったので、屋根もなく降りられもしない馬の上で台風並のスコールに遭いました。
海沿いなので、風と雨量が凄まじすぎて遭難した気分でした。
全身びしょ濡れの寒さと、たまたま相性の悪い馬同士が近くに居たので暴れて本当に怪我も免れないんじゃないかという思いから震えも止まらなかったです。帰国してからは笑い話でしたが、本当に途中でギブアップしたかったです。。
ただこれは天候という運だと思うので、仕方ないことですし、交通渋滞で遅れてしまったにも関わらず対応下さった施設の方々には感謝です。
もし次回参加するとしたら間違いなくバギーにします。。
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I still had a great time! I think even those with a fear of heights won't find it too scary since it's over the sea! The sea breeze feels nice, and the driver, who was quite energetic, made it even better!
あいにく天気は曇りでしたがそれでもとても楽しかったです!
高所恐怖症の方でも下は海なのでそんなに怖くないとおもいます!
海風も気持ちよいし、運転手も飛ばしてくれる方(?)もテンション高めで最高です!
5:55 meeting time
After about an hour's drive by microbus, we headed to the West Coast.
The temperature was a bit low and there was some wind, so it's advisable to bring something to wear.
The boat also swayed, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Although we didn't end up seeing dolphins, we did see whales and sea turtles while snorkeling along the way.
The sea was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay in for too long.
I heard that there’s a plan from Honolulu where you can see dolphins while going to see sea turtles, so I think I'll choose that next time.
The staff, including the Japanese staff, were all very nice, and I had a great time using the service.
5:55集合
1時間ほどマイクロバスで移動し、西海岸へ
やや気温は低めで風もあったため、羽織れるものは持っておいた方が無難。
船も揺れるため、乗り物酔いしやすい人にはおすすめできない。
イルカは結局見ることはできなかったが、途中クジラとシュノーケリングでウミガメは見ることができた。
海が少し寒くあまり長時間は入れなかった。
ホノルル発のウミガメを見に行くプランでもイルカが見れるとのことで、次はそちらにしようと思う。
日本人スタッフはじめ、スタッフがいい人ばかりで楽しく利用できた。
Thank you for participating! Since dolphins are wild animals, there may be times when you won't see them. It was unfortunate, but if you have the opportunity, please come back and try again! Dolphins can also come to Waikiki. While we can't swim with them, you can enjoy watching from the boat.
ご参加ありがとうございます!
イルカは野生の生き物のため会えないこともございます。
残念でしたが、また機会がありましたらぜひチャレンジに来てください!
ワイキキでもイルカが来てくれることもあります。
一緒にスイムはできませんが、船の上からウォッチングを楽しめます。
Great time parasailing. The boat crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience! The check in process was very smooth, and they even offer photo services which is a great idea
We experienced a 2-hour horseback riding course with four people. The person who rode at the front wasn't very skilled at handling the horse, so after an hour, one person was taken off the horse and made to wait at the meeting point. I think the criteria for judgment were too strict. I believe that beginners should decline to ride at the front. While I understand it was for safety reasons, as a tourist participating, it left a bad aftertaste. Beginners might want to avoid this course.
乗馬2時間コースを4人で体験しました。
先頭で乗馬した人間が、あまり上手く馬を取り扱えなかった為、1時間を過ぎた所で、1人馬から降ろされ、集合場所で待たされました。
判断基準が厳しすぎると思います。
経験が浅い方は、先頭は断った方が良いと思います。
安全の為、仕方ないとは思いましたが、
観光客として参加した為、後味は悪くなりました。
初心者は、このコースは、控えたほうが良いのかもしれません。
I was moved by the experience of nature that you can't find in Japan! If you go to Hawaii, I definitely recommend trying horseback riding or something similar, but there are some points to be aware of. There is a proper Japanese video for driving instructions, so that's not a problem, but on the day of my visit, there wasn't a single staff member who spoke Japanese. If you don't understand English at all, you might not grasp the explanations about the filming locations. (There were no simple Japanese explanations provided either.)
日本では味わえないような大自然を体験でき、感動しました!ハワイに行かれる際は乗馬かどちらか是非体験してほしいですが、注意点もあります。運転の方法はきちんと日本語のビデオがあるので問題ありませんが、当日のスタッフで日本語を話せる方は1人もいませんでした。英語がさっぱりな方映画ロケ地の説明等は分からないと思います。(簡単な単語レベルの日本語の補足もありません)
If you are looking for the best you have found it. Captain Mark handles the boat like a pro. The staff is the best in the world. The trip and experiences are phenomenal. My husband loved the water slide. I had an amazing time snorkeling. Seeing sea turtles, trigger fish and more. Whales were supper cool. The views are breath taking.
March 11, 8 AM Course
We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory with a cheerful instructor and four groups. Thank you very much.
3月11日 8時発コース
天候にも恵まれて、4組で陽気なインストラクターで素晴らしい思い出になりました。
どうもありがとうございました。
The weather was great, and it was almost hot even in just a camisole. There are lockers available on-site for $5, so I recommend storing your belongings and outerwear before the experience. You can bring your phone with you.
It had been a while since I went horseback riding, but the instructor was kind, and I had the best experience. I highly recommend it!
天気にも恵まれ、キャミソール一枚でも暑いくらいでした。現地にロッカー(5ドル)があるので、荷物や上着などを体験前に預けることをお勧めします。携帯は持ち込み可能です。
久しぶりの乗馬でしたが、インストラクターの方も優しく最高の体験ができました。おすすめです!
This was such a great luau! The show was just awesome! The 2 guys that did the pig ceremony were great and made us laugh. The dancers were fabulous!! The gal that Did all the introductions of all the dancers and interacted with the audience (MC) was so awesome and interacted with everyone. The organization of the food (which was wonderful) getting everyone though the line in a fast organized manner was great. John our bus driver was great, he was on time, organized… it was just a great experience! Thank you !! I’m one of a group of 6, I tried the poi and I liked it !!
Fue una gran experiencia me encantó personal muy amable y grandes vista lo recomiendo
The people were fantastic and the fishing was great! My son (10) and I had a blast! My son also really enjoyed seeing whales and sea turtles on our trip. We highly recommend this excursion for anyone!
Thanks for sharing this awesome picture! We loved having you all out with us and hope you consider joining us again in the future!
I enjoyed the scenery that can only be seen while riding on the back of a gentle and cute horse. It was reassuring to have the guide running alongside us. If you're a complete beginner at horseback riding, it might be a bit tiring.
おとなしくて可愛い馬の背中に揺られながら、馬に乗らなければ見られない景色を楽しみました。
ガイドさんが伴走してくれるので安心でした。
乗馬が全くの初めての方だと少し疲れるかもしれません。
The day I went, the horseback riding tour I had planned was canceled due to strong winds, so unfortunately, I had to change to other activities, which was disappointing. Well, it can't be helped since it's the weather...
行った日が、すごい強風のため乗馬で見学する予定がキャンセルとなり、残念ながら他のアクティビティに変更せざるを得なかったので、残念でした。まぁ、天候なので仕方ないですが…。
I used this for my honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and with calm winds, we had a stunning view of Diamond Head and the entire Maunalua Bay area, creating the best memories.
*Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit (which is fun too), but if you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. It takes a bit of time to get out to sea.
The parasailing time is 6-7 minutes, but it was thrilling enough, so it felt like plenty of time.
The captain and the pilot were both very cheerful and unique, making for a fun experience throughout!
ハネムーンで利用しました。当日は天気に恵まれ、風も落ち着いた中、ダイヤモンドヘッドからマワラ湾一帯を一望でき、最高の思い出になりました。
※船が小型のため、なかなか揺れます(それも楽しいですが)乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
沖に出るまでそれなりに移動します。
パラセイル時間は6-7分ですが、スリル満点のため、十分な時間でした。
キャプテンと操縦士もとても明るくユニークな方で、終始楽しいひとときでした!
this is a nice day on the water with a nice boat ride. Crew is very nice. It is $160 per person including transportation, and for that you get a seat on the boat maybe if you can find one, a cheeseburger with baked beans and fruit for lunch, a trip to a sandbar where either you play volleyball or stand around, then a trip to a reef to see little fish and turtles.
The staff and crew were amazing as well as the foood. The entertainment
I had a full two hours of horseback riding. I had a great time. Along the way, I also encountered some cute wild boars, which was really fun.
たっぷり2時間の乗馬。
とても楽しく過ごせました。
途中、可愛いイノシシなどにも出会えて、とっても楽しかったです。
I am 70 years old, in pretty good shape but was worried about my ability to do this. (All the others in my group were 30-40 years). Not only was I able to do it, I kept up with the youngsters and conquered my fear of heights. The staff here were outstanding. They put safety first, remembered all of our names and kept everything fun and light hearted. The views from the platforms were spectacular and the lines were long and up high above the trees. (My only complaint would be that I wish there was a restroom maybe at the halfway point of the excursion). Other than that, I would highly recommend this for any thrill seekers out there. You did have to endure some physical as well as mental challenges along the way. There were some steep steps to climb, a bumpy ATV ride from the first platform to the second, a controlled bungee leap off of two of the platforms and one where you had to pull yourself up using a block and tackle rope pulley. Fun, fun fun……
Had the best time!! Recommend everyone do the ATV raptor tour, you get to see so much of the ranch which is just beautiful. The history of the ranch (staff is very knowledgeable about the ranch and a pleasure to have as guides) and stops that we did were great and the icing on top was that we got to see some dinosaurs! Can’t wait to go back as I would do it again.
Our entire family had so much fun on this excursion. The staff were so friendly and informative. Bring an underwater camera for great picture opportunities.
The crew was amazing! The watersports we did was so much fun! Snorkeling and water volleyball was so cool, a turtle just swam up by our net and popped in to say hi! Views were incredible as well! Highly recommend this tour
We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
The food was good, the entertainment and the sunset view was incredible!
Upon arriving at Kualoa Ranch, a staff member who spoke Japanese explained the facilities. After that, we were guided to the reception for each activity, and from then on, I communicated with the staff in English. Important instructions, such as how to ride a horse, were provided in a Japanese video, which was reassuring.
We rode horses in a single line across the vast land for two hours. Along the way, the guide explained in English that this was the location used in a scene from Jurassic World. About 30 minutes in, the horse I was riding started to act up because it seemed to have an itchy belly. For safety reasons, the guide arranged for me to switch horses. The guide handled the situation smoothly and with a smile, which helped ease my anxiety. This led to a lot of enjoyable conversations with the guide as we continued on our ride!
With Kualoa Mountain in the background, we were able to take photos, and after the tour, I received the pictures via AirDrop. Professional photos were also available for purchase for $20. This two-hour experience of riding horses and enjoying the breathtaking scenery became an unforgettable memory!
クアロアランチに着くと、日本語が話せる方が拠点となる施設の説明をしてくれました。
その後、それぞれのアクティビティの受付に案内され、それ以降は英語のみでスタッフの方と会話しました。馬の乗り方など、大切なことは日本語のビデオで説明があったので安心でした。
馬に乗って1列で広大な土地の中を2時間移動しました。途中でガイドの方から英語で、ここはジュラシックワールドのこの場面で使われたところです、などの説明が聞けました。
開始30分ほどで、私の乗っていた馬が、お腹がかゆいようで少し暴れ出しました。安全のために、ガイドさんの乗っていた馬と交換してもらいました。私が不安にならないようにガイドさんが笑顔でスムーズに対応してくれました。それをきっかけに、ガイドさんとたくさん会話しながら進むことができ、私としてはとっても楽しかったです!
クアロア山を背景に、写真を撮ってもらえて、ツアーが終わった後airdropで写真をもらうことができました。
プロの方に撮ってもらった写真も、20ドルで購入可能でした。
馬に乗って絶景を楽しんだこの2時間は、一生忘れられない経験になりました!
After arriving at the ranch, you will receive an explanation of the facilities from staff who speak Japanese, and the subsequent check-in, briefing, and activities will be in English. You can check the driving instructions for the buggy in a Japanese video, so I think there won't be any issues.
If the weather looks suspicious, don't forget to grab a poncho available for rent on-site! I was caught in a downpour during the activity and got completely soaked, but I thoroughly enjoyed racing around the off-road course in the buggy, taking in the magnificent scenery and sets that I had seen in movies. I highly recommend it!
牧場到着後、日本語ができるスタッフから施設内の説明を受け、その後のチェックインからブリーフィング、アクティビティは英語になります。バギーの運転は日本語ビデオで確認できますので、問題ないと思います。
雲行きが怪しい場合、現地で貸出しているポンチョを忘れずに! 私はアクティビティ中にスコールに見舞われズブ濡れなりましたが、オフロードをバギーで駆け巡り壮大な景色、映画で見たことのあるセットを堪能し大満足です。是非お勧めします!
The team really went out of their way to give us a great day out on the water, and went out looking to make sure we saw turtles.
We are booking next time we go already
This was a good choice, very knowledgeable of reef and endangered animals , Fun Responsible Worth it ,More for Adults then small kids but they do have small children aboard . Cheeseburger lunch included alcohol to purchase, fee softdrinks water juice. Do this you won't regret a minute.
I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, which is about an hour away by shuttle bus from Waikiki. Unlike horseback riding experiences in Japan, here you hold the reins and control the horse yourself, which was a lot of fun. The instructions for riding are easy to understand by watching a video in Japanese. Once on the horse, the guide provides various explanations and directions, but it is mainly in English. Even if you don't understand the language, the horses are smart and will follow the horse in front, so there's no need to worry.
You need to store large items like backpacks in lockers beforehand (credit card payment available at the machine next to the lockers for $5). It was raining a bit, so I tried to wear the poncho I brought, but I was told it was dangerous and couldn't wear it. There is a raincoat available for free rental, which I used, but I was a bit concerned about the dirt on it. Since the ground was muddy, mud splashed onto my shoes and pants while riding, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
ワイキキから送迎バスで約1時間ほどのクアロア牧場で乗馬体験を行いました。
日本で体験する乗馬とは違い、自らの手で手綱を握り馬を操作する乗馬でとても楽しかったです。
乗馬の説明は日本語のビデオを見るため簡単に理解できます。馬に乗ってからはガイドの方が色々と説明や案内をしていただけますが基本的に英語となります。言葉がわからなくても馬が賢く前の馬について行ってくれるので困ることはありません。
リュックサックなどの大型の荷物は事前にロッカーに預けておく必要があります(ロッカー横の機械でクレジット決済可 $5)
少し雨が降っていたため持参したポンチョを着用しようとしましたが危険とのことで着用できませんでした。無料でレンタルできるカッパがあり着用しましたが少し汚れが気になりました。
地面がぬかるんでいたことから乗馬中に跳ねた泥が靴やズボンについてしまったため汚れても良い服装で行くのが良いかと思います。
The ladies that took us on our ride were absolutely delightful. They were thorough about safety and just lovely to talk to. They obviously care very much for the horses and know them well.
The evening was beautiful despite the risk of rain and the timing was perfect to have photos with the sunset behind us.
My only negative was that it was advertised as a 90 minute ride and it was only 60 minutes.
