Oahu
- I made a reservation for around 1:30 PM on the day of, but there were almost no available spots, and it was quite tight.
- We participated as two adults (one of whom was just observing) and two children (a fourth grader and a third grader).
- I mistakenly booked for two participants and two observers (boat ride only), but I requested an upgrade on-site, and they were able to accommodate us.
- However, please note that the maximum capacity for sailing at one time is either two adults or one adult and two children.
- We sailed first, but after that, it was mandatory for others to board the boat, so be cautious of the children's motion sickness.
- I thought it might be scary, but the way I sat with my bottom on a thick rope significantly reduced the feeling of fear. The sensation of floating was amazing!
・当日朝予約の13時半頃でしたが、空きはほぼなくギリギリでした。
・大人2人(うち1名は見学)、子供(小学4年生、3年生)で参加。
・予約を間違えて、2名参加、2名見学(ボート乗船のみ)で取ってしまったのですが、現地でアップグレードをお願いして、対応いただけました。
・ただ、1回でセイリングできる最大が、大人2名もしくは大人1名と子供2名なので注意。
・最初にセイリングしましたが、そのあとは他の方のためにボート乗船は必須で、子供の乗り物酔いは注意です。
・怖いかなと思ったのですが、太めのひもにお尻が乗る形で恐怖感はかなり軽減されました。浮遊感は最高でした!
The last time I booked the same tour, we got on the boat and put on life jackets, but it was too windy, so we just went back without flying. In that case, you can choose to reschedule or cancel, but the $1 you pay at the hut is non-refundable.
This time was a revenge attempt. However, for someone like me who is scared of airplanes and roller coasters, parasailing is a big adventure. I chose the lower option of 120 meters, but it was still scary. Groups took turns flying, and once you sit down and get set up, you just take off without any time to mentally prepare, which actually makes it easier to fly, haha.
There was a little bit of turbulence in the air, but for the most part, it was calm and felt great. Just keep in mind that the boat itself sways a lot, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand, just as a precaution.
Also, there are two staff members on board, and everything is in English. But don’t worry, you can communicate through gestures.
前回同じツアーを申し込んだ時には船にのってライフジャケット等を着けたのですが、風が強くて飛ばずそのまま帰ってきました。その場合は、リスケかキャンセルか選べますが、小屋で初めに支払う1ドルは返ってきません。
今回はリベンジでした。しかし飛行機やジェットコースターも怖い私にとってパラセイリングは大冒険です。低い120mの方にしましたが、それでも怖いです。グループごとに順番に飛ばされて行きましたが、座ってセットされたら勝手に飛ばされるのでもう心の準備とかないので逆に飛べます笑
空では少しだけ揺れましたが、大体は穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ただ船自体はとても揺れるので、お守り代わりにでも、事前に酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします。
また、スタッフの方2人乗船していますが全部英語です。でもジェスチャーで伝わるのでご心配なく。
You can enjoy three types of activities. The local staff who speak Japanese will provide thorough explanations. The jet skiing was amazing.
3種類のアクティビティが出来ます。現地の日本語の話せるスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれます。
ジェットスキーが最高でした。
We progressed steadily through the mountainous film location in a line. Along the way, we enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean and had our photos taken, which we could share via Bluetooth afterward. The horses were truly clever, and we had a luxurious time. The staff members were also very lively. The course lasted just under two hours, and it went by in a flash. However, since we never got off the horses, I realized at the end that my legs (mainly my hips) were shaking without me noticing. There was a group of three women in their 50s and 60s who completed the ride, so I think it's manageable, but those who are extremely unsure of their physical stamina might want to reconsider.
映画ロケ地の山中を列になってぐんぐん進んで行きます。途中で美しい海を見たり、写真を撮ってもらて、終了後にBluetoothで共有してもらえます。お馬さんたちは本当に利巧であり、贅沢な時間を過ごさせていただきました。スタッフの方々も生き生きしています。1コース2時間弱、あっという間でした。ただし、一度も馬から降りないので、終了時には気づかぬうちに脚(主に股関節)がガクガクしました。同じ時間帯になった50‐60代の女性3人組の皆さんも完遂していましたので、なんとかなるとは思いますが、体力に極端に自信がない方は辞めた方が良いかもしれません。
We drove around the filming locations at a speed of about 30 km/h in a buggy. I’m embarrassed to say that at 156 cm tall, my feet barely reached the pedals while driving (crying). Since I tend to get car sick more than anyone else, I drove myself, but I recommend that shorter individuals have someone else drive. You can drive if you present a Japanese driver's license.
Several buggies moved along a bumpy road, providing an exciting experience that is hard to come by in Japan. The staff provided explanations during stops, but there were many things I didn’t understand, so I regret not studying more English to enjoy it even more. We wore bandana-like dust covers, but even so, we still got dust on our faces and bodies, so I recommend avoiding your favorite outfits. There are lockers available at the facility (I think it was around 1000 yen, and you could access them multiple times). After the buggy ride, you can wash your hands with water and soap, but the dust is hard to get off, so if you’re not going straight back to the hotel, it might be a good idea to bring an extra T-shirt.
All of the above has become a cherished memory of my trip, so overall, I am very satisfied. Due to the weak yen, prices have more than doubled compared to the past... (crying).
時速30㎞程でバギーを運転しながら、ロケ地を巡っていきます。お恥ずかしながら身長が156㎝ですと、運転中脚がぎりぎり着くか着かないかの状態でした(泣。当方は誰よりも車酔いをしやすい体質なので自ら運転させてもらいましたが、低身長の方は相手の方に運転してもらうのをお勧めします。日本の免許証を提示すれば運転ができます。
ガタガタした道を数台が連なって進んでいきます。日本ではなかなか経験できない、excitingな体験でした。途中下車を挟みながら、スタッフの方々が説明をしてくれます。わからない内容も多かったので、もう少し英語の勉強をしていけば、より楽しめたのになぁと後悔しています。バンダナのような埃除けをつけた状態で回るのですが、それでも顔や体に砂埃を被るので、お気に入りの服装は避けることをお勧めします。施設にはロッカーがあります(1000円くらいだった気がします。何度も出し入れ可能でした。)。バギー終了後に水道+石鹸で手洗いできますが、砂埃はいかんせん落ちにくいので、ホテル直帰でなければTシャツなどを余分に持っていくとよいかもしれません。
上記は全て旅の想い出になっているので、総合的には大満足です。円安の影響で、昔と比べて倍以上にはなっていましたが・・・(泣)
I was worried because there were no Japanese speakers available, but there was no problem enjoying the activities themselves (I think it would have been even more fun if I could understand the English explanations). My family had a great time, especially the kids who were very satisfied! One of the other groups on board looked quite miserable from seasickness, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
日本語を話す方がいない時間帯だったので心配でしたが、アクティビティを楽しむこと自体に問題はなく(たぶん英語の説明が分かればもっと楽しかったと思いますが)、家族で楽しんできました。とくに子どもが大満足でした!同乗していた別グループの方は、船に酔ってずっと辛そうだったので、酔い止め持参がオススメです。
Thank you for your review. I'm very happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time. As you mentioned here, I recommend taking motion sickness medication for customers who are concerned about seasickness.
書き込み、ありがとうございます。家族で楽しんでいただけてとても嬉しいです。ありがとうございます。ここにも書いていただいている通りですが、船酔いがご心配なお客様には、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
Yummy food and beautiful Hawaii views out your boat window! Can't go wrong
We chose Oahu for Pearl Harbor and the park did not dissapoint
A great day away from Waikiki and into the wilderness- with 4 boys this was a fun one!
Boys were up and on the boards in n time! Thank you crew for all you do!
faced our fears and ended up being one of our best experiences! my boys loved the thrill of being right next to the sharks
Do this tour- you get to see the entire farm in different ways! and lunch was easy to feed our larger family too!
This was the highlight of our trip! Esp seeing the dolphins spalshing around!!
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear that seeing the dolphins on our tours was the highlight of your trip! We hope to welcome you back for more amazing experiences!
Qr code has it easier to skip the line on the way in!
I participated with my fifth-grade son.
I felt reassured because the guide was a Japanese woman. There was also a local staff member who spoke a little Japanese, and they were very kind. You could easily recognize them by their tall stature and distinctive hat.
On the way from the port to the sandbar, we enjoyed drinks and donuts while listening to the relaxed singing of a musician.
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we could do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, and the local staff kindly taught us how to use the equipment. I could speak a little English, but even those who couldn't speak it were treated with care through gestures, so there was no need to worry. I think you can also do banana boat rides if you make a reservation, but since my child is small, we didn't do that this time.
On the way to the sandbar, a young boy in elementary school became unwell and collapsed, but the Japanese female staff responded appropriately, and there was also a nurse among the guests, so the boy recovered without any issues.
The staff's response and the activities were excellent!
As advice for those who will participate, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, including underwear, because it can get quite cold after coming out of the sea while still in wet swimsuits.
There was a hot water tank (for drinking water) near where we could get drinks, and I was grateful to have warm water to drink since I was feeling cold. (*^_^*)
小学5年生の息子と母で参加しました。
案内役の方が日本人女性だったので不安はありませんでした。現地のスタッフの中に片言で日本語を話してくれる方が居てとても親切でした。背が高く特徴のある帽子を被って居たのですぐに分かると思います。
港からサンドバーまではドリンクとドーナツのサービス、そしてミュージシャンのゆったりした歌声を聴きながらの移動でした。
サンドバーにつくとサップ、カヤック、シュノーケリングが出来るのですが、現地スタッフがとても親切に乗り方などを教えてくれました。私は少し英語を話せましたが、話せない方でも身振り手振りで丁寧に接して下さるので心配ありません。バナナボートも予約を入れれば出来るのだと思いますが、子供が小さいのもあり我が家は今回入れませんでした。
サンドバーに向かう時、小学生の男の子が具合が悪くなり倒れてしまいましたが、その時も日本人女性のスタッフが適切に対応されていて、お客さんの中に看護師さんも居たので男の子も回復し事なきを得ました。
スタッフの対応とアクティビティの内容についてははなまるでしたよ!
これから参加する方へのアドバイスとしては海から上がった後、濡れた水着のままだと結構冷えるので、下着を含めた着替えを1セット用意しておくと安心だと思います。
ドリンクをもらえるところの側にお湯が出るタンク(飲料水用)があって、私は体が冷えてしんどかったので温かいお湯が飲めたのは有り難かったです(*^_^*)
Thank you for participating in the tour and sharing your experience. We are very happy to receive your "hahanamaru"! We look forward to your next participation. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへのご参加、体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。"ははなまる"大変嬉しいです!またのご参加、是非お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I was with my child, but I didn't have any worries at all. It was nice to take it slow while diving, and I was glad that we could handle the changes in pressure.
子供と一緒でしたが、何も心配入りませんでした。ゆっくりセンスイしていくので、気圧の変化にも対応できて良かったです
アロハ、ケイコさん!
レビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。あなたとお子様がアトランティスアドベンチャーズで海の底100フィート以上を探検できたことを嬉しく思います!あなたの温かい言葉に感謝します。
将来的に、私たちの潜水艦やアトランティスクルーズのマジェスティックで再びアトランティスの冒険を楽しんでいただけることを心より願っています。水中の旅、サンセットクルーズ、または季節のクジラウォッチクルーズなどをご用意しています。
ぜひ、#atlantishawaiiで私たちのソーシャルメディアをフォローしてください。ア・フイ・ホウ(次回まで)。
Aloha Keiko !
Thank you for sharing your review. We're delighted to hear you & your child enjoyed exploring over 100 feet under the sea with Atlantis Adventures! We appreciate your kind words.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise.
Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
Not only Japanese people, but also foreigners participated, and there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I was able to enjoy the snorkeling experience with peace of mind.
日本人だけでなく、外国の方も参加されていましたが、日本語を話せるスタッフもいたので、安心してシュノーケリングの体験をすることができました。
I had ordered and paid for a life jacket in advance, but I couldn't rent it on the day of my visit... I couldn't understand the English, and when I arrived and tried to communicate, the bus had already left (crying). The sea was very clear, and I could see the fish.
ライフジャケットを事前に注文、支払いしていましたが、当日レンタルできませんでした…。英語の理解が及ばず、到着して伝えようとしたらもうバスが行ってしまっていました(泣)海はとても透明で魚も見れました。
The meeting place was easy to find. However, there was a bench at the meeting spot, but it was hot without any shade.
Onboard, they were friendly and talked to us. We were the only Japanese people, but they kept us laughing the whole time.
When heading out to sea, the waves were strong, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take some motion sickness medication in advance.
We also requested paid photography, and it was very good since we had a small child with us! I recommend it.
As for the height, even my 7-year-old child was able to enjoy it safely! I will participate again next year!
集合場所はすぐに分かりました。ただ、集合場所はベンチがありましたが、陰がなく暑かったです。
船内でもフレンドリーに話しかけてくれて、日本人は私達だけでしたが終始笑わせてくれました。
沖に出る際は波が強く、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めなどを飲まれた方が良いかもしれません。
有料の撮影もお願いしましたが、小さな子連れだった為、とても良かったです!おすすめします。
高さですが、7歳の小さな子供も安心して楽しめました!
また来年も参加させて頂きます!
Super fun. Lovely ship. Friendly crew. Yummy food. Beautiful dance show. Just do it!
I experienced a set of three activities: parasailing, banana boat, and bumper tube. For parasailing, I opted to go higher, which was also my first experience, and it was incredibly fun. There were Japanese staff members, and many of the staff could communicate easily, so I felt comfortable enjoying the activities.
Unlike in Japan, the facilities don't have showers, but it wasn't an issue as long as I could change and dry off before my Uber arrived.
For reference, it cost about $28 from Sheraton Waikiki to the destination.
パラセーリング、バナナボート、バンパチューブのの3点セットを体験しました。
パラセーリングはオプションで高さを上げてもらいました。それも初めての体験でしたが最高に楽しかったです。
日本人スタッフの方もいますし、簡単なコミュニケーション取れるスタッフさんが多かったので安心して楽しめました。
日本のように施設にシャワーがあるわけではないのですが帰りのUber来るまでに着替えや帰るまでに乾いてしまえば問題ない感じです。
参考までにシェラトン・ワイキキから目的地まで28ドル位でした。
From beginning to end my family and I had a great experience. We kayak, snorkeled and my children played volleyball. We had so much fun would definitely do it again.
Mahalo for your review & sharing pictures. We look forward to seeing you again! - Team KBOS
I really wanted to try it, even though it was expensive, so I paid for three people and went for the experience. On the day, there was no wind and the waves were calm, but we managed to ride the waves three times. It was my first time going out to the waters off Waikiki, and it was truly beautiful! Since we didn't have enough people, three guys joined us on the canoe. They were part of the beach service staff, and it seemed like it was their first time on a canoe as well, but we all had fun following the instructor's guidance together. When we went out to sea, the instructor suddenly signaled us to jump into the water, which was a lot of fun! I'm really glad I participated!
どうしても、やってみたくて高く付くけど3人分支払い体験して来ました。当日は、風も無く波は穏やかでしたが3回波に乗れました。初めてワイキキの沖の方まで行きましたが本当に綺麗!人数も足りないので3人のGUY達も一緒に乗ってくれました。ビーチサービスのバイト君たちで彼らもカヌーは初めてだったようで師匠の指示に一緒に従いながら楽しめました。沖に行くと師匠の合図でいきなり海へ飛び込んだりと楽しませてくれました♪参加して良かったです!
Thank you for participating alone, Mic! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! We look forward to your next visit!
Mic様:お一人でのご参加有難うございました! とても楽しんで頂けたようで何よりです!またのお越しをお待ちしております!
It was a day with cloudy skies, but with occasional glimpses of sunshine.
I participated in the Dolphin Encounter, and interacting with the dolphins was a great experience; my 6-year-old son seemed to enjoy it as well. However, the temperature and water temperature weren't very high, and towards the end, it started to get a bit chilly. This is really dependent on the weather, so I haven't included it in my evaluation.
Since it was my first time interacting with dolphins and I had never done it in Japan, I can't compare experiences, but honestly, I think Japanese aquariums and similar places are better in other aspects after the experience.
The area isn't very large, so you have to wait quite a bit until it's time to leave.
Personally, my satisfaction level relative to the price was a bit low, which is why I gave this rating.
晴れ間がたまに見れる曇り空の1日でした。
ドルフィンエンカウンターに参加し、イルカとの触れ合い自体は良い体験で、6歳の息子も楽しそうでした。
ただ、やはり気温も水温もそれほど高くなく、最後の方はちょっと寒くなりかけてました。
こればかりは天候次第なので、評価の良し悪しには含めてません。
イルカとの触れ合いは初めてで日本でもしたことが無かったので経験値の比較は出来ませんが、体験後のそれ以外は正直日本の水族館等の方が良いかなと思います。
敷地も全然広く無いので、帰りの時間までまあまあ待ちます。
個人的には値段に対しての満足度はちょっと低かったので、この評価です。
The horses were well-trained, and I felt safe riding even on steep slopes. The female guide was also kind and offered to take photos along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed the two-hour horseback ride.
馬がよく調教されていて急勾配も安心して乗ることができました。ガイドの女性も親切で途中で写真を撮ってくれるサービスもありました。2時間の乗馬で十分楽しみました。
This was a great experience! Alot of activities for families to do. You can go snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just relax on the sandbar. All the equipment was provided. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We would definitely do this again.
Mahalo for your review. Come back soon! - Team KBOS
I participated in a movie location tour while horseback riding! The tour lasted about two hours round trip. It was both of our first times riding, but the staff (mostly English-speaking) were very helpful in teaching us, so I think even beginners will be fine. Riding through the great outdoors and slowly visiting the filming locations was a luxurious experience, and I was very satisfied. One thing to note is that the tour goes on even in the rain (you can borrow a raincoat for horseback riding for free), so it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes, or if you don't want to deal with the rain, consider joining another tour (using a bus).
乗馬しながらの映画撮影地巡りに参加しました!時間は往復2時間のツアーでした。夫婦とも乗馬は初めてでしたが、スタッフ(基本英語対応)の方達が丁寧に教えてくれて、すぐにお馬に乗れたので、未経験の方でも大丈夫だと思います。大自然を馬に乗ってゆっくり撮影地をめぐるのは贅沢な時間ですし、大満足でした。注意点としては、雨でも行くので(乗馬用のカッパは無料で借りれます)、着替え持ってくか、雨いやなら他のツアー(バス利用)に参加するのもいいかもです。
After an hour's ride on the shuttle bus from Waikiki, we boarded a boat from a quiet harbor, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. However, perhaps due to the recent typhoon, the weather was unfortunately rainy, and the child who joined us immediately wanted to go home as soon as we got off the bus and were hit by a sudden downpour.
Despite the weather, as we received donuts and approached the sandbar with the cheerful staff's live performance, the weather improved a bit. By the time we enjoyed two hours of snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and sea kayaking, the child was having a great time, creating fun memories. The sea was a bit high tide, which was a mix-up with the tides, but it was still great to enjoy the water activities. I would like to try again during low tide when the weather is nice.
Lastly, I left something on the return shuttle bus, but thanks to the kind response from the local company and the driver, it was returned to me the same day. I'm grateful.
It was a different experience compared to other seas.
ワイキキから1時間送迎バスにゆられ、ワイキキの喧騒から離れ静かな港まちから船に乗りました。
しかし、先日接近した台風の影響なのか、生憎の雨まじりのお天気、一緒に参加した子供は、バスを降りた途端のスコール的な雨で、もう帰りたいと言い出す始末。
そんな中の船出でしたが、ドーナツをもらって、陽気なスタッフの生演奏とともにサンドバーに近づいていくと、お天気も少し回復。
シュノーケリングにSUPにシーカヤックに2時間満喫する頃には、子供もおおはしゃぎの楽しい思い出になりました。
海は満潮と干潮を間違えて、やや満潮気味でしたが、それはそれで海のアクティビティを満喫できてよかったです。次はお天気のよい干潮時に挑戦してみたいです。
最後に、帰りの送迎バスに忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、現地の会社とドライバーの親切な対応でその日のうちに戻ってきました。感謝
他の海とはまた違った体験でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. I am very pleased to hear that despite the unfortunate weather on the day, you enjoyed the activities and created wonderful memories. We look forward to your participation in the tour again when you visit Hawaii. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。当日はあいにくのお天気だったようですがアクティビティを満喫、楽しい思い出になったとお聞きし大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーへのご参加をお待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I did a lot of research before experiencing this, and it was just so much fun! It said sandals were not allowed, so I went out of my way to get sneakers on-site, but there were some people in sandals. It was recommended to have a mask or bandana, and I received a bandana with the name of Kualoa Ranch on it! Everyone was provided with helmets and goggles to wear. Since it really is a two-hour ride, make sure to use the restroom beforehand. It mentioned that children from 5 years old can ride, but I think you can have them sit in the middle of the second row with a secure seatbelt and hold them during the ride. However, since you can't go to the restroom and can't turn back, it's better to think carefully about it. At one point, it started to rain, which made it even more enjoyable, splashing through puddles and speeding down steep hills. An elderly couple couldn't keep up, and the staff had to switch drivers.
体験するにあたり色々と調べて行きましたが、とにかく楽しかった!サンダル不可とあり、わざわざスニーカーを現地で調達しましたがサンダルの方もいました。マスクやバンダナがあると良いとありましたが、クアロアランチの名前入りのバンダナをいただきました!全員ヘルメットとゴーグルを貸していただき装着。本当に2時間走るので先にトイレを済ませておく事。確か5歳〜乗車可能とありましたが、2列目の席の真ん中に座らせてしっかりとシートベルトをし、走行中は押さえててあげれば乗れると思いますがトイレに行けないのと引き返せないので慎重に考えた方が良いですね。途中、雨が降って来てより楽しさが増して、水溜まりに突っ込んだり急な下り坂を飛ばしてみたり。年配ののご夫婦が付いて来れずスタッフの方が運転を交代していました。
Had a great time.
Everyone was very friendly and polite. Great environment. Can’t wait to go back again with more family. Live music was also really good!!!
Mahalo for your recommendation! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
