My family and I had a great time using this package tour to Kualoa Ranch. The instructions were clear and the transportation vehicles were timely and clean. The ranch itself is beautiful with the ATV tour thoroughly going to different parts of the ranch. The tour guides were informative, funny and definitely wanted the guests to have a great time. I recommend you wear clothes that you don't mind getting dusty as the dust kicks up a lot as you're driving. They provide helmets, bandanas and googles to help cover up. The views were beautiful and they give you plenty of time to take photos and soak in the atmosphere. Overall, highly recommend this tour.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of our visit, but we still had a great time despite getting soaked! For a full two hours, we were able to stop several times to listen to the guide's explanations and take photos. The second half of the course had more ups and downs, making the driving even more enjoyable. The facilities were clean, and it was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member, Sanae, there. However, I felt that waiting about three hours for the return bus after the activity was too long.

当日は残念ながら雨でしたが、びしょ濡れになりながら楽しめました！丸2時間、途中で何度か止まってガイドさんの説明を聞いたり、写真を撮ったりもできます。コースは後半の方がアップダウンがあり、より運転が楽しめます。
施設はトイレも綺麗で、日本人スタッフのさなえさんがいて安心でしたが、アクティビティ終了後、帰りのバスの出発まで約3時間待つのたけは長すぎると感じました。

Long pants are required, and I went in long pants, but there were people riding in shorts. I think long pants are better since you have to straddle the horse. If it rains, you can borrow a yellow raincoat for riding, but you can't take it off halfway. We were glad to borrow it since it rained heavily the whole time.

Since it might rain, it's better to bring a change of clothes. Even if it doesn't rain, you'll get dirty anyway. You can change in the restroom. The bus ride to and from the location has strong air conditioning, so it's cold.

There was also a kind Japanese person at the reception, which was reassuring. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend it!

長ズボン必須とあり長ズボンで行ったが半ズボンで乗れてる人もいた。馬に跨るので長ズボンの方がいいと思う。雨の場合乗馬は黄色いレインコートを貸してもらえるが途中で脱ぐことはできない。自分たちはずっと雨が強かったので借りて良かった。

雨が降るので着替えを持って行った方がよい。雨は降らなくてもどっちみち汚れるので。お手洗いで着替えられる。行き帰りのバスは冷房きいてて寒い。

受付にも親切な日本人の方がいて安心。
総じてとても楽しかったです、ぜひおすすめ！

I had done zip-lining in Japan before, but this one was by far the longest and the best experience I've ever had. The shuttle bus felt like an attraction from Jurassic Park, which was fun. The instructors were friendly and kind, and they even spoke to us in Japanese.

The weather changed frequently, with rain and sunshine throughout the day. At one point, it started pouring down heavily, and I thought I might catch a cold because my clothes got soaked. So, I recommend purchasing a poncho sold on-site or wearing a raincoat if there's any chance of rain or if the weather looks suspicious on the day of your participation.

日本でもジップラインはやったことがありましたが今回のが今まで経験した中でダントツで長くて最高でした。
送迎の車もジュラシックパークのアトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。
インストラクターの方も日本語で話しかけてくれたり、気さくで優しくてとてもいい方達でした。

雨が降ったり晴れたりコロコロ天気が変わる日だったのですが、途中から凄い勢いで降ってきて服がびしょ濡れになり風邪を引くかと思ったので、参加当日少しでも雨が降ってたり空模様が怪しかったりする時は現地で売ってるポンチョ購入するかレインコート着たほうがいいと思います。

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. This time, I traveled with my elderly mother, and since we were in Hawaii, I wanted to include some ocean activities for her as well. The boat does sway during the ride, so I think anyone who can brace themselves and maintain a seated position (as you take off from that position) can participate, even if they're older.

In the end, my mother was very satisfied, and it seems this became her favorite memory from the trip. For those who want photos, they take about 150 pictures of you in the air and the scenery from the boat, and after disembarking, they transfer the data to your phone right there. It comes with a memory card for $50. I usually don't buy many photos from tourist spots, but these turned out really well, and I'm happy with them.

ハワイでのパラセーリング2回目です。
今回は高齢の母と2人旅、せっかくのハワイなので母にも海のアクティビティを取り入れたくて参加しました。
ボートで移動時に揺れますので、その揺れを踏ん張れる方、長座の姿勢がとれる方(その体制から飛ぶので)であれば高齢でも参加できるかと思います。
結果、母大満足、今回の旅で1番の思い出になった様です。
写真が欲しい人は上空での様子やボートからの景色を150枚ほど撮ってくれて下船後にその場でデータを携帯に移行してくれます。メモリーカードも付いて50ドル。観光地の写真はあまり買わないのですが、よく撮れてて気に入ってます。

We were able to enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and volleyball for two and a half hours for free. I think it's a great deal since it includes these activities and allows you to experience the precious scenery of the sandbar. I recommend it for groups who love activities or siblings. Even grandparents who didn't go into the water enjoyed the scenery and live music. The water depth is about chest to waist high. They mentioned that it's usually like this. It's a good depth for activities, but if you're expecting a sandy beach at the sandbar, you might want to consider other tours. Also, there are no showers. If that's a concern, it might be good to bring some water to rinse off a bit after changing.

シュノーケリング、カヤック、サップ、バレーボールが2時間半、無料で出来ました。
これらの費用込み、サンドバーという貴重な景色も味わえるので、お得だと思います。
アクテビティ好きのグループや兄弟などにお勧め。
海に入らない、祖父母さんなんかも、景色と生演奏で、楽んでおられました。
水深は胸から腰ぐらいの深さ。だいたいいつもこんな感じだと言っておられました。アクテビティにはちょうど良い深さですが、砂浜のサンドバーを期待するなら、他のツアーなのかなぁと思います。
あと、シャワーはありません。気になる方は、着替え後に、ちょっと洗う、水を持って行くと良いかも。

I thought it might be a bit lacking, as it seemed like just running in a line while watching videos, but in the second half, there were many moments splashing water in the stream, making it a very enjoyable experience. I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

ビデオ等を見ていると列に繋がって走る感じでイマイチかな？と思っていましたが後半に小川で水飛沫を上げるところが多く、大変楽しい体験でした。機会があれば又なりたいです。

Great way to pre-order and have passport ready to avoid the day of lines!

Really well maintained trail, gorgeous grounds and fun as they are single ATVS!!

Right on HHV grounds, easy to get too, a wonderful night!

Delish food, fun times and gorgeous views! Worth it!

This time, we participated in a four-wheeler buggy tour as a family! It was an exhilarating tour that raced through the mountains!

It's definitely worth joining!

今回は四輪バギーを家族で参加しました！山々を駆け抜けて迫力満点なツアーでした！

ぜひ、参加している価値ありです！

I think those with a fear of heights should refrain from this activity. However, for those who don't, it's the best activity. You can't experience this in Japan, so I definitely recommend giving it a try.

さすがに高所恐怖症の方は控えたほうがいいと思います。が、そうでない方にとっては最高のアクティビティです。日本では体験できませんのでぜひやってみて欲しいです。

Even though the water was a bit chilly we had a lot of fun. The singing was sensational on the way there. We saw a bunch of big fish after walking a hundred steps, there were a lot more colorful ones near the corals. After snorkeling , we did a bit of kayaking as well, the sun came out and we warmed up. Tip: look up low tide times a few days ahead and book appropriate sessions, we didn’t do that so the sandbar was not visible.

It was December, so the sea was quite cold, but I had an amazing time! The sandbar was stunning, and the hamburger was delicious! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which made for a very fulfilling experience! But next time, I think I want to go during a warmer season.

12月でしたので海がまぁまぁ冷たかったですが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
サンドバーは絶景でしたし、ハンバーガーも美味しかった！
シュノーケリングでは、運良くウミガメを見ることも出来てとても充実した時間でした！
でも今度は暖かい時期に行きたいかな。

I had to wait in the sea for a long time without anything to do because there weren't enough canoes or SUPs, and it took a while for someone to switch with me. It was cold that day, and I endured while shivering. For some reason, I couldn't go to the area where there were many other boats (it looked like a beautiful white sandy beach, like a heavenly sea). This tour was separated from that.

カヌーやsupが足りなくて海の中で何もすることなくずっと待ってましたが、、なかなか代わってもらえなかった。その日は寒くて震えながら耐えました。なぜかわからないですが、他のたくさんの船がいるところへはいけなく（そちらが白い砂の浜辺のように見えて天国の海という感じです綺麗だった）このツアーだけ離れてました。

We participated as a family. The weather was nice, and the instructor was kind, which made it great. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

家族で参加しました。天気もよく、インストラクターの方も親切で最高でした。機会があればまた行きたいと思います。

It seems that the impact of global warming will not cause islands to emerge. I'm glad to hear that you're from Japan. The hamburger was also very delicious.

温暖化？の影響で島が出てくる事はないそうです。日本の方なので助かります。ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

The staff were fantastic. The location was fantastic. Glad we only had about 35 people along. 100… their max is 100. It got a little crowded in the area they confine you too. I also did not like wearing the life preserver while snorkeling. I could have spent the whole morning on the reef, but they only let you visit half.

The staff really got everyone excited, and I was able to enjoy it more than I expected. It was my first time, and it was my wife's third, but we were very satisfied to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat and to spot humpback whales multiple times, which is a rare experience.

Although I couldn't swim with the dolphins, I was able to swim with turtles during the snorkeling session, and it was also great to experience the waterslide and stand-up paddleboarding.

I will definitely come again. Thank you for today.

スタッフの方が盛り上げてくださり、予想以上に楽しむことができました。私は初めてで、妻は3回目でしたが、イルカが船の先頭で伴奏したり、今ならではの、ザトウクジラを何回も見ることができて、非常に満足です。

イルカと一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、シュノーケルのタイミングでは亀と一緒に泳ぐことができたり、ウォータースライダーやサップを体験できたことも非常に良かったです。

また必ずきます。
本日はありがとうございました。

I had a very enjoyable time! At the photo spots, I was able to hear various stories about Hawaii. Everything was in English, but I could somewhat understand it with a few words I caught here and there. The staff were very considerate, and I was able to fully enjoy nature for two hours! I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or even throwing away. My nose got completely black, haha!

とても楽しい時間を過ごせました！写真スポットではハワイのいろいろな話を聞くことができ、すべて英語ですが、所々聞き取れる単語でなんとなく理解ができました。
スタッフの方も気を使ってくださり、2時間たっぷり自然を満喫できました！
服装は汚れてもいい、捨ててもいいくらいのものがいいと思います。鼻の穴まで真っ黒になります笑

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. It was amazing! The height of 150 meters allows you to experience both fear and a sense of freedom. My 10-year-old daughter also had her first experience and was thrilled, saying it was the best. It was funny to see her going wild up there, where no one could hear her.

My husband is not good with heights, so he was completely focused the whole time, and when we came down, he looked pale.

There were some big waves that caused the front of the boat to slam against the water, and one of the men on board dislocated his shoulder, probably because he was holding the railing incorrectly, and had to give up. It was unfortunate.

The staff takes great photos (40 with an SD card), so I recommend enjoying the scenery and atmosphere rather than just taking your own pictures!

今回でハワイでは2回目のパラセーリングでした。
やっぱり最高！
150メートルの高さは、恐怖心と開放感の両方を味わえます。10歳の娘も初体験でしたが、最高だと喜んでいました。上空での誰にも聞こえないであろう発狂っぷりが面白かったです
主人は高いとこが苦手なので終始両手に全集中していて、降りてきた時には真っ青になってました


大きな波が何度かきて船の前方が海面に叩きつけることがあり、一緒に乗船していた男性は手すりの持ち方が悪かったせいか肩を脱臼してしまい、あえなく断念。。
かわいそうでした。

スタッフの方が撮ってくれる写真（SDカード付きで40）がとてもいいので、
自分で撮る写真よりも景色や雰囲気を楽しむことをおすすめします！

We gathered in front of the marina's dock. Despite the boat being named "Sashimi II," it was a bit disappointing that no one spoke Japanese at all. I was the only Japanese participant, but if you have a little experience with fishing, you can understand how to use the equipment and the fishing techniques. I was able to grasp most of the explanations through gestures.

The bait was cut squid, and we used a simple bottom fishing setup with a two-hook rig and weights. We fished while changing points from the marina to off Waikiki and Diamond Head. The scenery was beautiful, providing double the enjoyment.

The target was the Mōngara (a type of filefish), and the crew prepared the fish we caught on board, allowing us to taste it on the way back.

マリーナの桟橋前で集合。
さしみ２号（sashimiⅡ）の船名のわりに日本語は全く通じなくてちょっと残念。
日本人参加者は自分１人だったのですが、船釣りの経験が少しあれば道具の使い方や釣り方は判ります。身振り手振りでも大体の説明は理解できました。
餌はイカの切り身、２本バリとおもりのスピニングタックルのシンプルな底釣りです。
マリーナからワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッド沖までをポイントを変えながら釣ります。風景も良く、ダブルの楽しみがあります。
ターゲットはモンガラ（カワハギの仲間）で釣った魚はクルーが船内でさばいて帰りに味見が出来ました。

Everyone except for my husband and me were foreigners. If you don't set the audio guide to Japanese, you won't understand the explanations at all. However, since the boat rocks a lot on the way, it's better to have motion sickness medication. It was thrilling to transfer from the boat to the submarine. Moving in the middle of the ocean to the submarine was amazing. When a sea turtle swam close to the window, I was so impressed! It was great to encounter various fish as well.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人。説明も日本語オーディオガイドにセットしないと説明が全く分からず、しかし、行きの船がとても揺れるので酔い止めの薬は、あった方が良い。船から潜水艇を乗り移る時などは感動。海のど真ん中でから、潜水艇へと移動。ウミガメが、窓の近くに泳いで来てくれた時は、すご〜い❗️と感動。
色んな魚とも出会いよかったです。

Micki was a great tour guide! It was a beautiful experience with countless views. Handling a ATV is always a fun time. She also captured many pictures of us, made sure to get all the beautiful scenery all around us. I would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to come back!

My family loved it. We got to see dolphins turtles, and the view was amazi loved how they asked if they could dip the kids, and yes, give them all the way there was all around great experience would do it again. Kids loved it.

The scenery at Sandbar was exceptionally beautiful. The barbecue featured authentic hamburgers made with charcoal-grilled patties, which were delicious. During snorkeling, I was fortunate to see a sea turtle up close, which is a rare encounter.

サンドバーの風景、綺麗さは格別でした。
バーベキューは炭火焼きで本格的なハンバーグを使用したハンバーガーだったので、美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、出会うことが稀なウミガメを間近に見ることができて幸運です。

Traveling by boat was quite thrilling, and it was so rocky that it would have been dangerous if I hadn't taken motion sickness medication! When flying in the sky, I was nervous at first, but everywhere I looked was a breathtaking view, creating the best memories! By the way, we weren't asked whether we would land in the water; everyone was dropped equally!

船で移動している時もかなりスリル満点で、酔い止めを飲んでいなければ危なかったなというほど揺れました！
空を飛んでいる時も、初めはドキドキしたのですが、どこをみても絶景で最高の思い出ができました！
ちなみに水に着地するかどうかは聞かれず、全員平等に落とされていました！

Adam was prompt for pick up at hotel and at Diamond head. He was informative and gave good tips about the hike. Beautiful hike

I participated in the afternoon tour.
There was a Japanese crew, which made me feel at ease!
It was really fun.
The weather was cloudy, so it was very cold, but that's just luck...
It was so cold that being in the sea felt warmer...
I was able to experience both SAP and snorkeling.

午後のツアーに参加しました。
日本人のクルーがいて安心して参加できました！
すごく楽しかったです。
天候が曇りだったためすごく寒かったですが、
それだけは運なので、、、、、
海に浸かってる方が暖かく感じるくらい
寒かったです、、、、、。
SAPもシュノーケルも体験できました。
