Aloha!
There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.
Thanks again

Twenty years ago, when I boarded, it was cramped and fully booked... The windows were small and hard to see out of, but this time I read in the reviews that the sea is clearer in the morning, so I made a reservation for the early morning. There happened to be only six of us on board... It felt like we had the place to ourselves, and my family was happy.

20年前に乗船した時は狭いし、満席で…
窓も小さくて見難かったけれど、今回は口コミを読んで朝の方が海が濁っていないとしり、朝イチで予約。
乗船したのが、たまたま6人だけで…ゆったり貸切気分で過ごせました。家族も喜んでいました。

This was a fantastic tour. We have done several tours at the Kualoa Ranch and have enjoyed them all. Our guide was great and informative. It was obvious she really enjoyed her job. Would definitely recommend this tour and all the other tours at the Kualoa Ranch.

The guides for this tour are all American, so if you don't understand English, you won't be able to enjoy it 100%. There is a Japanese audio guide available, but the guides tell a lot of jokes, so understanding them will enhance your experience.
The submarine is anchored offshore, and you will take a shuttle boat to get there. There are restrooms on the shuttle boat, so please take care of that before boarding.
At a depth of 30 meters, you can see the wreckage of fighter planes and sunken ships. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming above the sunken ship. The course lasts 40 minutes, but it goes by in no time. It seems that the sea is less murky in the morning.

このツアーのガイドはすべてアメリカ人なので、英語がわからないと100%は楽しめません。日本語オーディオガイドがありますが、ガイドの話はジョークが多いので、それがわかるともっと楽しめます。
潜水艦は沖に停泊しており、そこまでシャトルボートで向かいます。トイレはシャトルボートにあるので、乗り込む前に済ませておいてください。
水深30mmで潜ると、戦闘機の残骸や沈没船が見れます。今回ラッキーなことにウミガメが沈没船の上を泳いでいました。40分のコースですが、あっという間に終了します。午前中の方が海は濁ってないみたいです。

It was an incredibly kind and attentive service, and I had a very enjoyable buggy experience. The elevation changes were intense, and the ride was thrilling. It was an experience I definitely want to do again next time. The staff who assisted us were absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much.

最高に優しく丁寧に教えていただきサービス旺盛でとても楽しいバギー体験でした。高低差が激しく揺れが半端なく楽しめました。次回もまた絶対にやりたい体験でした。とにかく対応してくれたスタッフは最高の方でした。ありがとうございました。

The plan included a visit to the Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and sightseeing in Haleiwa. I thought the guide would just pick us up right near our hotel and take us by car, but instead, they shared a lot of history and local stories about Hawaii that we wouldn't have known otherwise. Honestly, it was worth the participation fee just for that.

At Dole, we had a short 30-minute visit, but I was able to shop and found unique items that aren't sold in Japan, which really excited me. The main horse experience was truly amazing. The waves at the North Shore looked like a painting. I was moved to think that such a beautiful place exists in this world.

Unfortunately, the horseback riding experience ran over time, so our sightseeing in Haleiwa was quite short, which was disappointing. However, I was able to enjoy delicious gelato and leisurely explore some cute shops, which was nice. I would love to take my time to explore more next time.

I had assumed that garlic shrimp was included in the course, so I was a bit disappointed to find out it was a separate course, but it was still so much fun that I would definitely do it again.

It was a day filled with awe in a world where there is still so much I don't know. Thank you, guide!

Doleプランテーション、乗馬、ハレイワ観光のプランでした。
泊まってるホテルのすぐ近くまでガイドさんが迎えに来てくれてそのまま車で送迎するのだけかと思いきや、この車に乗らないと知り得ることのできないハワイの歴史や現地の話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。もぉ、ここまでで参加費の価値あり。
Doleでは30分と言う短い時間でしたが買い物もでき、日本では売ってない雑貨と出会いテンション上がりました。
メインのお馬さんは本当に最高でした。
ノースショアの波は絵に描いたよう。この世にこんな美しい場所があるなんて…と感動でした。
乗馬体験がおしてしまったのもあったのでハレイワ観光の時間がとても短く残念でしたが、美味しいジェラート頂きながらゆっくり出来たし、かわいい雑貨店巡りもできてよかった。
次はゆっくり見てみたい。

ガーリックシュリンプがコースの中に含まれていると思い込んでいたので別コースだと知ってちょっとがっかりだだたけど、全然！！！それ以上に楽しかったからまたの機会に。


まだまだ自分の知らないことがたくさんある世界にただただ感動の1日でした。
ガイドさんありがとう

I did the secret island back in 2015, and it truly felt like a secret island. The amount of people that were there at that time were the same amount of people on the boat. Now it is overhwelmed 10 fold of people. From the previous time going and present activities to do, they added a couple more presently. One of which checking out the turtles.
Anyways its still fun, especially with someone else.

It was interesting to say, enjoyed the environment and the food. Was with my girlfriend and she loved it. Was at a table on the edge to the starboard side. What topped it all was doing it on the night of the fireworks! Would do again.

The captain and his helper were very kind and welcoming.
They could have explained the sitting stance 2 x to make sure the kids understood but besides that We all had an amazing time and we will definitely come back to you guys on our next trip out.

We participated as a family of five with children aged 6 and 7!
As we moved by boat, the color of the sea clearly changed, and the emerald green water was so beautiful that it left us in awe.
This time, the water depth was up to the adults' waists, which made it a perfect opportunity for our first challenges with snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing! The kids were able to touch the bottom, so we could enjoy ourselves safely until the end!
However, it was a bit cold, and my 6-year-old son, who couldn't touch the bottom, got scared and cried, retreating to the boat right away. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted him to play a little longer...
Next time in the summer, I strongly hope to join when we can see the sandbar in its true form!!
This time, the kids wanted to ride the banana boat and the tube, so we all participated, and they all said it was the best!!
Thank you for ensuring a safe environment with proper supervision!
I'm really glad we participated!

6.7.9歳の子連れ家族5人で参加しました！
船で移動すると明らかに海の色が変わり、エメラルドグリーンの海がとてもキレイで感動しました。
今回は大人の腰上辺りまでの水深だったため、シュノーケリング、サップ、カヌーは初めてのチャレンジするのにちょうど良かったです！子どもたちも足がついたので、安心して最後まで楽しむことができました！
ただ少し寒かったので、6歳の息子は脚もつかないため怖かったのか号泣してすぐ船に撤退してしまいました笑 もう少し遊んで欲しかったので残念、、、
次は夏、是非サンドバーの本来の姿か見れるタイミングで参加したいと強く思いました!!
今回は子どもたちがバナナボートとチューブをしたいと言ったので、そちらもみんなで参加して子どもたちは最高だった！！と口を揃えて話しています。
安全に過ごせるよう監視体制もしっかりして下さり、ありがとうございました！
参加して本当に良かったです！

We had a great time. Picked us up in Waikiki, got on cat for 15 min and had a light lunch and swam and snorkeled. Everyone was fantastic. The two men playing music was a treat. Great time on a full boat!

I booked this tour for my first time in Hawaii. On the bus heading there, there were many Japanese people! After arriving, there is an explanation for each tour, and it seemed like most people had signed up for the buggy tour.
During the horseback riding experience, two English-speaking staff members accompany you. While English is the main language, when the horse lags behind, they say, "Kick it! Thank you! Good!" so even if you're not good at English, you can understand the basics and have fun.
They will tell you the names of the horses if you ask, so I think you'll enjoy horseback riding even more if you engage with them.
The staff were kind, and the horses were very cute and well-behaved!

初めてのHawaiiでこちらのツアーを申し込みしました。ホテルから向かう際のバスでは、日本人も多くいました！到着してからツアーごとに説明があるのですが、ほとんどの方がバギーツアーに申し込みしているようでした。
乗馬体験では2名の英語スタッフが一緒についてきてくれます。英語がメインになりますが、馬が遅れをとると「蹴って蹴って！ありがとう！グッド！」と言ってくれるので、英語が苦手でも最低限のことは分かりましたので楽しかったです。
馬の名前を聞くと教えてくれるので、ぜひ声掛けながら乗馬をするとより楽しめると思います。
スタッフも優しく、馬もとってもキュートでお利口さんでした!!

What an amazing time! We got picked up a minute away from our hotel and the bus driver even shared some Oahu history during the ride! We opted for the five star dinner and it was incredible. We felt like VIPs! Incredible food, the BEST steak I have ever had and delicious champagne. Live Jazz music on our deck and stunning views. Definitely going to do it again next time we visit! I recommend bringing a jacket as it can get pretty windy on the outside deck and indoors is air-conditioned.

You can choose the height and splash options! However, when I went, no one asked me anything, so if you have a specific request, you need to say it directly (English only).

They took photos from the boat for $40, and it was worth it! I really enjoyed it! Although I intended to buy them, it was also a great memory to have someone from the next group record a video for me on my phone. We were both asking each other to take turns taking pictures.

Some people brought their phones up, so if you want to take photos up there, it's good to have a waterproof case! I was too scared to bring mine up in case I dropped it.

It was incredibly beautiful and fun! The atmosphere was very nice, and it felt friendly and cheerful.

It would be great to do this on a sunny day, and it might be even better at sunset! 😊

高さや水ポチャも選べる！とありましたが、行っても何も聞かれなかったので、もし絶対これがいい！などリクエストがあれば直接言う必要があります。（英語のみ対応）
船上から写真を撮ってくれて40$でしたが、買って損はなし！良かったです！
買うつもりではいたものの、携帯で次の組の人に、動画を回しておいてもらったのも良い思い出です。結構お互いお願いします〜っと言った感じで撮りあってました
携帯を持って上に上がる方もいましたので、上で写真撮りたい方は、防水ケースがあると良いです！
私は落としたら怖すぎたので、持っては上がりませんでした。

すっごく綺麗で、楽しかったです！
雰囲気も非常によく、和気藹々とした感じでした

晴天でやっても良いですし、夕暮れにやっても最高かもしれません☺️

We used this for our honeymoon. Kaz-san provided transportation to the hotel and offered wonderful hospitality throughout our stay. The interior was very stylish and beautiful, creating a comfortable atmosphere. We felt completely at ease, especially with the Japanese staff handling the pre-flight briefing. During the flight, they introduced us to various spots and were attentive to our well-being, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. Overall, it was the best. I thought right after the flight that I want to use this service again. There seem to be many operating companies, but I would choose Lani Lea without hesitation. It's a sure thing!

今回はハネムーンで利用しました。カズさんがホテルまで送迎してくれたり、終始素晴らしいおもてなしをしていただきました。店内もとてもおしゃれで綺麗で、居心地が良く、フライト前の説明も日本スタッフさんが対応してくれたりと不安は全く感じませんでした。フライト中はいろんなスポットを紹介していただいたり、終始私たちの体調を気にかけてくれたりと安心しながら楽しむことのできるフライトでした。とにかく、最高。また利用したい。フライト後すぐ思いました。たくさんの運営会社さんがあるようですが、迷わずにLani leaさんへ。間違いなしです！！

My friend couldn't make it, so I participated in this tour alone. I wasn't very good at English, but I really wanted to ride a horse, so I went from the city to Kualoa Ranch by myself. It was quite difficult to find the horse riding area, and I was really anxious being in a small hut where no one was around, but it turned out I was in the right place. The staff helped me find a helmet that fit my head and instructed me to watch a video about safety precautions. After that, as more people started to gather, I got on the horse. It was my first time riding, and it was really difficult to handle. Most of the others were families, and I didn't see many groups of friends in their 20s. I struggled to ride well, and it was embarrassing to be alone and squeal, so I rode feeling quite shy. After that, the two-hour tour began. The horse was free-spirited and would suddenly stop to urinate, and some of us, including me, had trouble moving forward or getting separated from the group, which was tough. I definitely should have gone for just one hour. My backside was so painful... I was 21, but it was exhausting, haha. Next time, I will definitely join for one hour with friends.

友人が行けなくなってしまい、このツアーには1人で参加しました。あまり英語も出来なかったのですがどうしても馬には乗りたかったので、1人で市内からクアロアランチまで行きました。馬の乗り場まではとても分かりずらく、誰もいない小屋みたいなところでここであってるのかずっと不安だったのですが、どうやら合っていたみたいです。スタッフの方に自分の頭に合うヘルメットと今から注意事項などの映像を見せると指示をされ、そちらを終えてから人が少しずつ集まってきたところで馬に乗りました。初めて馬に乗ったので本当に扱いが難しかったです。周りは家族連れが多く、20代のお友達同士というものはあまり見かけませんでした。とにかく上手く乗れず1人でキャーキャー言うのも恥ずかしいので、色々と恥ずかしいまま乗りました。その後は2時間のツアーが始まります。馬は自由で急におしっこで止まりますし、私も含め何人か融通が効かず進んでくれなかったり仲間とはぐれようとしたり、大変でした。絶対に1時間で良かったです。おしりがとにかく痛くて痛くて、、。21歳でしたが、しんどかったです笑次は必ずお友達と1時間の方で参加します。

It was so much fun! When coming down, I dipped my butt in the sea a bit, then they lifted me up a little, and after that, I was collected by the boat. I felt reassured because I wasn't dropped completely into the sea!

めちゃ楽しかったです！降りてくるときにお尻くらいは海につけて、また少し上げてくれて、それからボートに回収される感じでした。がっつり海に落とすようなことはないので安心でしたね！

It was a great trip the crew was amazing the music was great the floating dock was nice my wife liked that the volleyball was super fun the snorkeling my kids loved .

Hello everybody,

Let me share our experience (honeymooners) on the 5 Stars Course of that Dinner Cruise with you.

In terms of hospitality, starting from the pick-up crew, to the captains and waitress (many thanks to lovely Jordan), it was just great.

We had an super easy pick up with a bus, where everyone received a sticker depending on the course they’ve booked and then took around 15-30 minutes to get the harbor.

Everyone had a warm welcome with local dance and music in front of the boat while boarding. Once we have taken our seats, we were welcomed with nice champagne and some cheese and ham plate with crackers.

In terms of the food in that day, it was simply amazing and tasty. ESPECIALLY the served meat. Whoever cooked that: genius!

Anyhow, besides food and drinks we got the chance to explore the boat between the food breaks. We had an amazing view on Waikiki/Diamond Head/other boats, even though it was cloudy. It was still very enjoyable. And also we had the great luck to see whales! That was the cherry on top.

Well, besides all of that going on, we had live entertainment (pianist, some Saxophon and some singer - all just awesome). They’ll also take a picture of you, so for 30$ you can purchase them.
In the end, everyone with some special occasion was asked to dance in the middle of the room, which was pretty romantic.


Overall, it was really worth it.

Minus points for:
- photo only available as data file for another 20$ (why?!)
- pretty chilly inside the boat (but guess this depends on the season)


Overall, just great! Would love to board once more in the future.
Thanks everyone!

The Japanese staff were kind and reassuring. The tour was in English, and I didn't understand half of it (laughs), but they really tried hard to make it enjoyable! They took photos and videos at key points. My family had our beginner driver daughter behind the wheel, but there were no problems at all. Climbing hills, going downhill, and crossing streams were all very exciting, and we made great memories. Thank you.

日本スタッフもいて親切安心でした。ツアーは英語ガイドで半分も理解できませんでしたが（笑）、楽しませようと本当に一生懸命！要所要所で写真やビデオも撮ってくれました。うちの家族は初心者ドライバーの娘が運転しましたが全く問題無し。登り坂、下り坂、小川の突破など、とてもエキサイティングで、いい思い出が出来ました。ありがとう。

Definitely a beautiful hike (workout) lol love the scenery. Just wish waterfall was bigger but amazing

It's an absolutely stunning view! The sea and mountains are very beautiful. The guide speaks only English, but it's totally fine if you can't speak it.

You can also switch drivers. You'll get covered in sand, so wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

とにかく大絶景です！海、山がとても綺麗。ガイドは英語のみですが話せなくても全然大丈夫です。

運転手も交代できます。
砂まみれになるので服は汚れても良いので行くべき。

The weather was a bit uncertain, but it didn't rain, and the scenery was great, making it the best experience. I don't think you can ride a horse for two hours like this in Japan.

天候がびみょうでしたが、雨もふらず、景色もよく最高でした。2時間も馬に乗れるなんて
日本ではなかなか無いとおもいます。

I never tried scuba diving and I can't swim well so I was worried but the scuba diving team was amazing.
They were very attentive and helped each diver in the group to ensure we had a great time in the water. The lagoon is in the city very close to Waikiki Beach but not crowded. It is a beautiful and quiet place. It felt very safe.
We saw corals and many different fish and we got a few short videos of the experience as part of the tour.
If you are looking for a safe introduction to scuba diving this guided diving tour is definitely a great choice.

I had a great time snorkelling in Honolulu.
I can't swim but thanks to Scott I managed to enjoy the experience.
The Magic Island Lagoon is a safe and beautiful place.
I really enjoyed the activity.

In February, the beach was completely submerged with about 30 cm of seawater, but the clarity of the ocean was impressive. The staff was friendly, and there were Japanese guides available, which was reassuring. The snorkeling experience with the coral reefs was also quite worthwhile. Sea turtles were swimming nearby as well. Since February is the rainy season, it can be chilly in short sleeves, so please bring something to wear over it.

2月でしたので完全に砂浜が完全に露出せず30cm位海水がありましたが、海の透明度は感激でした。スタッフもフレンドリーで日本語ガイドもあるので安心です。
シュノーケルでのサンゴ礁ウッチも見応えあります。
ウミガメも普通に近くを泳いでますよ。
2月は雨期で半袖だと寒いので、上に羽織るものを持参して下さい。

A bus will pick you up to Honolulu.
I enjoyed snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking for about two hours.
There were Japanese staff members, and the local staff spoke Japanese as well. They were cheerful people, so you can relax and have fun!

ホノルルまでバスの迎えが来てくれます。
シュノーケルやSUP、カヤックを2時間程度堪能しました。
日本人スタッフもいましたし、現地スタッフも日本語が話せて、陽気な人たちなので、安心して楽しめます！

After deciding to go to Hawaii, I was asked to go fishing, so I made a reservation here. Although they didn't speak Japanese, we managed to communicate since it was fishing. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all. During our trip, we didn't catch many fish overall, but my son caught three small ones and released them. Although we couldn't eat them, my son was very satisfied to be able to fish in the beautiful sea.

ハワイに行くと決まってから、釣りがしたいとお願いされ、こちらを予約しました。
日本語は通じませんが、釣りですので、何とかなりました。
心配していた船酔いも全くなかったです。
魚は参加した回は全体的にあまり釣れずでしたが、息子は小さめを3匹釣り、リリースしました。
食べることは出来ませんでしたが、息子は綺麗な海で釣りが出来、大満足でした。

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a really fun time. I also requested photos and received some great pictures. We rode on a small boat with a few other groups to go out to sea, so while others were experiencing it, we had to wait on the boat, which made the time on the boat quite long. I had heard from previous participants that there was a possibility of seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication beforehand and enjoyed it without feeling sick. I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness. Other than that, it was an incredibly fun and amazing time.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたがとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
写真もお願いしてとてもいい写真をいただきました。
何組かと合同で小さい船に乗って沖まで出るので、他の方が体験している間は船で待っていることになり、かなり船に乗っている時間が長いです。事前に参加した方から船酔いする可能性あると聞いていたので酔い止めを事前に飲んで、特に酔うこともなく楽しめました。おそらく乗り物に弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
それ以外は、とてもとても楽しく最高な時間でした。

We participated in the 11:30 session. There were seven of us in total, including the three of us and two pairs of friends who joined. It was great that we could fly as a group of three.

The weather was nice, and we enjoyed the stunning views. It was our first experience, and at first, there were parts that felt a bit scary, but as we got used to it, the height didn't bother us much.

If you pay an additional $40, you can receive dozens of photo data on an SD card (they can also transfer it on the spot if you have an iPhone). I recommend this for those who want to keep memories of themselves enjoying parasailing.

11:30の回に参加。我々３人と、二人連れ２組の計７人でボートに乗り込みました。我々は３人で飛べたのでよかったです。

天気がよかったこともあり、絶景を満喫しました。初めての体験で、最初は少し怖かった部分もありましたが、慣れてくると高さはあまり気になりません。

追加で$40を支払うと数十枚の写真データをSDカードでもらえます（iPhoneでればその場で転送もしてくれます）。パラセイリングを楽しんでいる自分たちの姿を残しておきたい方にはオススメです。
