Oahu
This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!
First of all, in conclusion, I'm glad I went! It was definitely a great experience!
The vast nature of Kualoa Ranch offers a dynamic and breathtaking scenery that you can't experience in Japan, and you can enjoy various views while riding the buggy :)
During the buggy tour, there was no Japanese guide, but after arriving at Kualoa Ranch, a Japanese staff member provided an overall introduction, so you can rely on them if you have any issues!
There is a Japanese video for the pre-tour instructions, so it's okay if you don't speak English.
During the tour, the guide spoke only English, but it's manageable with simple English, so those who are anxious about their English skills should still be able to enjoy it :)
All the guides were very kind and attentive.
Now, here are some points I would like future participants to keep in mind:
- Avoid wearing white or clothes that show dirt easily. During the one-and-a-half-hour ride, there is a lot of dust, so it's essential to wear clothes that can get dirty.
- Bring a towel and cleansing sheets, and it's recommended for women to go without makeup. As mentioned, you'll be covered in dust, and after the tour, you'll be hilariously dirty. There is a handwashing station right after getting off, but if the shuttle bus schedule is tight, you probably won't have time to wash thoroughly. So, after rinsing off a bit at the handwashing station, it's best to wipe your face and neck thoroughly with sheets in the car on the way back!
- Sun protection is important. It's a good idea to apply sunscreen or wear long sleeves (the buggies have no windows, so you'll be exposed to both dust and UV rays while riding!).
- Bring non-woven masks. You can get a bandana (for covering your nose and mouth) at the tour reception, but a non-woven mask is much better for dust.
- Please bring water. The tour lasts an hour and a half, with stops at scenic points for the guide's explanations, but it can get hot, so it's even better if you can hydrate regularly.
- Eating and drinking are prohibited on the shuttle bus, so you can have lunch at Kualoa Ranch. There are also souvenirs for sale, so you can enjoy the time between the tour and the shuttle.
If you're hesitating, definitely go for it! Fans of Jurassic Park will surely enjoy it too!!
まず、結論としては行って良かった!
とにかく良い経験になりました!
クアロアランチの広大な自然は、
日本では味わえないダイナミックさと絶景で
バギーでぐるっと回って色んな景色を楽しめます :)
バギーツアー中、
日本語ガイドさんは居ませんでしたが
クアロアランチ到着後は
まず、日本語スタッフさんが全体の案内をしてくださったので
何か困った時は頼りになります!
ツアー前の注意事項は、
日本語ビデオがあるので英語が出来なくても大丈夫
ツアー中は
英語オンリーのガイドさんでしたが、
簡単な英語でどうにかなるので
英語に不安がある方も楽しめるはず :)
ガイドさん達はどなたも
とても親切に色々気にかけてくださいました
ここからは
これからツアー参加される方へ参考にしてもらいたい点
・白い服、汚れが目立つ服は×
1時間半の走行中は砂埃がすごいので、
汚れてもOKなお洋服で参加は必須
・タオル+クレンジングシートの持参と
女性は、すっぴん推奨
上記同様、砂埃をまともに被るので、
ツアー終了後は笑えるほど真っ黒になります。笑
降車後すぐの所に手洗い場はありますが
送迎バスの時間がタイトな場合があるので、
しっかり洗う余裕はきっとありません
なので、ある程度手洗い場で洗い流したら帰りの車内でお顔や首など徹底的にシートで拭くのがベストです!
・紫外線対策
日焼け止めをしっかり塗っていくか長袖着用がいいかも
(バギーは窓がないので
走行中は砂埃も紫外線とまともに浴びます!)
・不織布マスクなどの持参
ツアーの受付でもらえるバンダナ(鼻・口を覆う用)がありますが
砂埃には不織布マスクの方が俄然いいです
・水分持って行ってください
1時間半、絶景ポイントで降りてガイドさんの説明を受けながらのツアーですが
暑さで喉が乾くので都度水分摂取が出来ると尚良いですね
・送迎バスは、飲食禁止なので
ランチなどはクアロアランチ内で頂けます
お土産も売っているのでツアーと送迎の合間時間も楽しめます
迷われてる方はぜひ!
ジュラシックパーク好きな方も楽しめるはず!!
I was able to see two types of dolphins and also met a sea turtle, which made me very satisfied. Since I can't speak English, the Japanese staff (Hayato and Ken) were very helpful. I was worried about seasickness, and that day the wind was strong, so I did get seasick, but I am grateful for the very caring support I received. The sandwich we had at the end was also delicious. It was the best tour. I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii. Thank you very much!!
イルカは2種類見れて、ウミガメに会う事も出来とても満足しています。
英語が話せないので、日本人スタッフ(ハヤト&ケンさん)にとても助けて頂きました。
船酔いが心配でしたが、その日は風が強く、やはり酔ってしまったけど、とても親身になって対応して頂き感謝しています。
最後に頂いた、サンドイッチも美味しかったです。最高のツアーでした。
また、ハワイに来たら参加したいです。
ありがとうございました!!
Aloha, Saya!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University.
It was lucky to encounter two types of dolphins in one day, as that is rare! I heard that you experienced seasickness due to the strong winds; I hope you recovered quickly after the tour. Travel fatigue and the weather can make one more susceptible to seasickness. Please take anti-nausea medication and get plenty of rest to ensure you're in great shape for your next dolphin encounter! We sincerely look forward to your next participation. A hui hou and big mahalo!
Aloha! さや様
この度はイルカ大学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
1日に2種類上のイルカと会えることは稀なのでラッキーでしたね!風が強かったために船酔いしたとのことですが、ツアー後に早く回復しましたでしょうか?旅の疲れやその日の天候で船酔いしやすくなります。酔い止めと十分な休息をとって体調を万全に整えてまたイルカに会いにきて下さいね!さや様のまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。a hui hou and big mahalo!
Awesome family time Very friendly tripulación very happy
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
In the early morning at Hanauma Bay, I never expected it to be this cold. I did go into the water once, but it was so cold that I gave up quickly. I was really shocked that there were hardly any fish around. When I visited in the past, it was in the afternoon, so it was warm and there were plenty of fish to enjoy! Is there no tour available in the afternoon? I felt that it has become increasingly difficult to enter Hanauma Bay lately. The driver was kind and stopped by Leonard's Kitchen for us on the way back.
早朝にハナウマ湾へ
まさかこんなに寒いとは思ってもみませんでした。
一回は海に入ったものの寒すぎてすぐにギブ。
魚もほとんど見当たらなくめちゃショック。
過去に訪れた時はお昼からだったので暖かかったのか魚もたくさんいて楽しめたのに!
お昼からのツアーは無いのでしょうか?
最近はますますハナウマ湾に入るのが難しくなってきてることを実感しました。
ドライバーの方は親切で帰りにカハラモールにあるレナーズキッチンカーに寄ってもらいました。
Five years ago, when I went to Waianae to snorkel, I didn't have fins, and it was difficult to return to the boat. However, this time I had fins, so I was able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles up close. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter dolphins!
The best part is that you can board from a hotel in Waikiki, which makes good use of your time. However, there is no Japanese guide, so it would be great if you could go with someone who understands English. I was with my daughter, which was helpful. I think it would be nice to have a sign with the same explanations even without a guide.
5年前に、ワイアナエまで行きシュノーケルしたときはフィンがなく
船まで戻るのが大変でしたが、こちらはフィンがあったので、とても楽しく魚やウミガメを近くでみることができました。
さらにラッキーなことにイルカにも遭遇しました!
何よりワイキキのホテルから乗船できるので時間が有効につかえますよ。
ただ、日本語ガイドさんはいないので英語がわかる人と行けるといいですね。娘と一緒だったので助かりましたが。
ガイドさんがいなくても、同じ内容の説明プラカードがあればいいのに、と思います。
I felt very relieved to participate in the tour as Japanese was also understood. The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the scenery was beautiful and it was the best. It was a bit disappointing that it rained in the morning, making the water a little murky, but the sea was still beautiful. The hamburger we ate on the water was also very delicious.
日本語も通じて非常に安心してツアーに参加できました。
サンドバーでは膝ぐらいでしたが、景色も綺麗で最高でした。
当日朝が雨で少し水が濁っていて残念でしたが、綺麗な海でした
海上で食べるハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです
This trip to the sandbar was excellent. The company has the day very well planned for guests so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than relaxing.
Here are all the pros:
Pick up and drop off from Waikiki available
Lunch provided
Paddle board and kayak use included
Nice sun deck set up
Friendly staff
Great music for the trip to and from
Overall, excellent experience and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.
Mahalo for your review & sharing your experience. We really love your picture! - Team KBOS
Overall outstanding!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome view!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This zip line course is the real deal! Not only they have 8 individual zip lines, but each has it's character and unique feature. We really loved to do different tricks, and also enjoyed some very long zip lines that we haven't experienced anywhere else.
Guides were fun and very helpful, and had 'super human' abilities whenever someone was stuck on a line.
We will definitely come again next time we are visiting the island!
Awesome activity! This is my second time booking captain bob’s and I can’t tell you enough how great it is, you would need to experience it for yourself! From the start, the staff are very welcoming and keep you entertained throughout the entire experience. They take the time to go around to chat with everyone, making it a comfortable excursion. Although they don’t do anything specific for birthdays, they still made sure to sing her a happy birthday! Book it, you won’t regret it!
Last year, I was able to enjoy a horseback riding course that featured scenery from movie filming locations, and I was looking forward to it again this year. However, this year, it ended up being just a two-hour ride along a mountain path, which was disappointing. The people in my riding group were similarly frustrated and said they didn't want to participate again. Is it the instructor who decides the course? Was it just bad luck this year? If possible, please let me know.
昨年は、映画ロケ地の景色も楽しめるコースを乗馬することができ、今年も楽しみに申込したところ、今年は山道を、ひたすら2時間乗馬するだけで終わってしまいガッカリでした。一緒に乗馬したグループの人達も同様に不満を爆発しており、2度と参加したくないと言っていました。コースを決めるのは、インストラクターが決めるのですか。今年は運が悪かっただけなのですか。よかったら教えてください。
beautiful day on the sand bar with great music and organization with tons of activities included (kayaking, paddle board, snorkeling). felt very safe even with two small kids in the open ocean. highly recommend for families!

I enjoyed the beautiful sea at Sandbar. We also saw sea turtles while sailing, and we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling as well. The hamburgers were delicious, and the weather was great.
サンドバーではキレイな海を楽しめました。また、航行中にウミガメも見れて、シュノーケリングでもウミガメを見ることができました。ハンバーガーも美味しく、天気にも恵まれてよかったです。
Amazing guides, beautiful scenery and A lot of fun zipping around on the ATVs. Learnt a lot and made special memories.
On the round-trip boat, there was a lively atmosphere with live music. While playing with the SPU and canoe, the staff amusingly helped pull us back when we were about to drift out of the safe zone, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. During snorkeling, we were given food to attract the colorful tropical fish, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii.
往復の船の中では、雰囲気満点の生演奏。
SPUやカヌーで遊んでいて、風で安全区域から出そうになると係の方々が面白おかしく、引き戻し助けてくださり、安心して遊ぶ事ができました。
シュノーケリングでは、餌を持たせてもらい、色とりどりの南国の魚達が側に集まって、美しいハワイの海を楽しむことが出来ました。
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
この度は安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。ご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
We are here celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and were looking forward to the sunset sail. It was absolutely amazing! The drinks were great and it was very relaxing. The staff were very attentive and polite. If we ever come back to Waikiki, we will definitely do this sunset cruise again and tell anyone we know that will be visiting here to hit up Moana Sunset Cruise.
The weather was nice and the scenery was amazing. I thought we would be able to run around more freely, but we had to ride in a line. Since there were two couples sharing one vehicle, it would have been better to split the reservations and have one vehicle for each couple. The dust at the back of the line was intense, so wearing clothes that can get dirty is a must. The distance we traveled was sufficient.
天気も良く景色は最高でした。もっと自由に走り回れるのかと思っていましたが、隊列を組んでの走行でした。二人カップル二組で一台だったので、申し込みを分けて二人で一台にすれば良かったです。隊列の後ろの方は砂ぼこりが凄いので、汚れて良い服装は必須ですね。走行距離は充分でした。
Snorkeling and scuba diving can be quite challenging, so I participated in a submarine tour where I could easily see the fish underwater. The water was very clear, and I could see the fish gathering around the reefs well. It was a highly satisfying tour.
シュノーケリングやスキューバダイビングはハードルが高いので、気軽に海中の魚を見ることができる潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。海水の透明度が高く漁礁に集まる魚が良く見え、満足感の高いツアーでした。
アロハ ねおちゃん!
レビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。アトランティスアドベンチャーズで海の下100フィート以上を探検して楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しいです!お褒めの言葉に感謝します。
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お楽しみいただけることを心より楽しみにしています。水中の旅、サンセットクルーズ、または季節のクジラ観察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(また次回まで)。
Aloha ねおちゃん !

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).
My guests from Japan and I had a great time! Our tour guide was so funny & knowledgeable. Weather and the views of the windward side of Oahu were beautiful! A visit to Kualoa Ranch is a must when visiting Hawai’i.
Great experience family 1st time snorkeling guide funny and made you feel comfortable in the water
Easy to book, so nice they have the pick up / drop off so you can enjoy your evening safely!
Avoid the lines and get them ahead, so easy and they make sure you got the QR code!
The champagne toast was so fun for an anniversary evening, we loved our night!
The crowds dont lie! Our family loved this experience as you get the ATV thrill alongside the experience of the ranch!
Great evenings, lots of laughter and fun learning experiences in the beginning that was a fun way to start the luau!
perfect pair after a relaxing pool day, delish cuisine and lots of fun happening on board!
Really awesome experience, the workers give it their all!
The ride and the guides were great. The land has amazing views that our pictures don’t do it justice. Only thing that we either missed or wasn’t made aware to us was that if you have the last ride booked, you must shop at the gift store before hand. We were going to wait so items didn’t get dirty. The store was closed when we returned and we could not buy souvenirs as we planned to. It also rained during our ride (part of the experience - still had a great time) and we (13 people in my family in our group that day) probably would have all bought dry shirts/sweatshirts for the Uber ride back to our hotel. They do tell you to bring a change of clothes but we planned on buying shirts. Also, you can’t order online and pay to ship any souvenirs which we would have done if available.
Thank you for your support.
We went to Hawaii as a family to celebrate my 88-year-old mother's birthday.
Ten years ago, my mother joined us on a trip, and this time she wanted to try parasailing.
Given her age, we were concerned about whether she could handle it, so we researched and found experience photos on the website featuring people of a similar age, which reassured us, and we made the reservation.
The staff at the reception were friendly and accommodating, which eased our worries as we boarded the boat.
The crew on board were also very kind and attentive to safety, allowing for a reassuring flight.
As expected, the strong winds provided a refreshing view at 150 meters in a short time, and my 88-year-old mother was extremely happy and satisfied with the experience.
Our family prepared a waterproof camera and a GoPro to take photos and videos, but due to the boat's rocking, some of the shots didn't turn out well.
Additionally, it seemed that another passenger wanted a commemorative photo but hadn't requested it in advance. I think it would be good to have a pre-announcement or to have continuous photography on board, checking for purchase options upon return.
Thank you very much.

88歳の母のお祝い記念で家族でハワイに行きました。
10年前に一緒に行った母が今回パラセイリングにチャレンジを希望
88歳の高齢でもあり心配をしチャレンジできるかを調査、Webサイトの体験写真に同年代らしき写真があり問題ないと判断し申し込みました。
窓口スタッフの方も新設にフレンドリーに対応していただき心配もなく乗船、
船上スタッフの方も大変親切に安全に気を使っていただき安心にフライト、
当然ですが強い風の勢いで短時間に150メートル爽快な眺めと体験したことのない感覚で88歳の母も大変喜んで満足しました。
私たち家族は防水カメラ、GOProカメラ等を準備し写真やビデオを撮りましたが船上の揺れ等で少しうまく撮れていませんでした。
また同乗した方は記念写真が欲しかったようで事前にスタッフに希望していなかったようでした。事前アナウンスをされるか、常時船上から撮影をし戻った時に購入の有無を確認するやり方もいいのかなと思いました
大変ありがとうございました
