The snorkeling and sandbar experience was very enjoyable, and the lunch was delicious. During the morning tour, the tide was high. It was a bit disappointing that the water was up to my waist at the sandbar, but I was satisfied because the weather was nice.

シュノーケリング・サンドバー体験はとても楽しかったですし、ランチもとても美味しかったです。午前のツアーで満ち潮でした。サンドバーは腰ぐらいまで水があり残念でしたが、天気は良かったので満足です。

I was able to ride a horse in the great outdoors! The guide was kind, and the horse was well-behaved. As long as you follow the instructions, there are no problems. Since you ride for a full two hours, I recommend it if that’s not an issue for you!

大自然の中で、馬に乗ることができました！
ガイドさんも優しく、馬もいい子で、指示にちゃんと従えば、問題ありませんでした。
2時間ずっと乗りっぱなしなので、そこに問題なければおすすめです！

I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.

I drove a buggy for the first time!! Before the experience, I was anxious after looking at the waiver, but in reality, it's not much different from driving a regular car. I think anyone who drives regularly, including women, can do it. If you're not driving, you can freely take photos and videos. There are three stops along the way for photo opportunities, so I recommend enjoying taking pictures while communicating with the guide!! You can switch drivers at the stops, making it fun to drive together! If you love Jurassic World, you should definitely give it a try!!

The sand dust is intense, and you'll end up covered in sand from head to toe, so be careful with your clothes. If you're wearing contacts, be cautious to avoid getting sand in your eyes. It hurts. Also, it's dangerous. I experienced it in the morning and returned to the hotel in the early afternoon to take a bath. That's how dirty you get.

初めてバギーを運転しました！！体験前は誓約書を見て不安でしたが、実際は普通の車の運転と大して変わりません。女性の方でも、ある程度日常で運転されてる方ならどなたでもできると思います。運転しない場合は自由に写真や動画撮影可能でした。途中3ヶ所で止まって撮影タイムがあるので、ガイドさんとのコミュニケーションを楽しみながら写真を撮るのをおすすめします！！止まったタイミングで運転を交代しながら行けるので、みんなで運転すると楽しいです！ジュラシックワールドが大好きな方はぜひ行ってみてください！！
砂ぼこりがすごく、頭から顔、脚まで全身が砂っぽくなるので、服に気をつけてください。運転される方でコンタクトの方は目に砂ぼこりが入らないよう注意してください。痛いです。あと危ないです。午前中に体験し、昼過ぎにホテルに帰ってお風呂に入りました。それくらい汚れます。

I participated in the beginner mountain bike course. Even though I hardly understood any English, the staff made a great effort to communicate with me. I was able to understand the explanations well. There was a problem when the chain broke during the ride, but the response was smooth, and I felt at ease throughout. Next, I want to try the zip line as well. The attractions in the vast area were incredibly fun. Thank you very much!

マウンテンバイク初心者コースに参加しました。
ほとんど英語がわからなくても、スタッフの方々が懸命にコミュニケーションを取ろうとしてくれます。説明も十分に理解することができました。途中チェーンが壊れてしまうトラブルがありましたが、対応もスムーズで、終始安心していられました。
次はジップラインも体験したいです。
広大な土地で楽しめるアトラクションは、最高に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました

Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.

When we arrived, there was an explanation in Japanese, and they kindly went over the day's schedule and the meeting time for our return.

The guide for the actual experience was a local and spoke English. I couldn't understand much since I don't speak English at all, but they were friendly and had a great vibe, so I could somewhat grasp what they were saying! There were many breathtaking viewpoints, and we stopped each time for explanations and photo opportunities. They suggested poses, and we were able to take a lot of fun pictures. It was truly an enjoyable time! Being surrounded by nature was also very healing, making it an absolutely wonderful experience!

現地に着いたら日本語で説明があり、当日の予定や帰りの集合時間など丁寧に説明がありました。

実際の体験のガイドの方は現地の方で英語でした。英語は全く喋られないので分かりませんが、ノリが良くて優しい方達で、なんとなくいってることが伝わって来ました！！
絶景ポイントも沢山あり、その都度止まって解説と写真タイムがありました。ポーズを指定してくれて面白い写真もたくさん撮れて本当に楽しい時間でした！
大自然にも癒されて本当に最高の時間でした！

I experienced the tour starting at 9:30.
I left the hotel in Waikiki at 7:30.
It takes about an hour to get to Kualoa.
Check-in was until 8:45, and the meeting time was at 9:15.
I stepped on the scale and signed something like a waiver.
There, I watched a video explanation.
I borrowed a helmet and a storage bag!
Around 9:30, they helped me choose a horse that suited me, and we set off. From this point, I couldn't get off the horse for two hours, which was really tough. I thought a one-hour course would be better.
I wanted to get off and take a break once.
My butt, inner thighs, and arms are sore. (laughs)
I got off the horse at 11:40.
Thank you, horse!

馬から降りたのは11:40
馬さんお疲れ様でした。

From the beginning to the end, everything was absolutely beautiful and fun, but seeing my grandaughter and the sparkles in her eyes left me speechless.

I participated with my 50-year-old aunt and 73-year-old aunt, and we had a great time! We made a reservation for three people, but you can also participate with two people by paying for three. Just make sure to inform them that you are a party of two. The waves were great, and we were able to ride three waves right away, so our experience ended up being about 30 minutes, but it was very satisfying. Thank you!

50歳（♀）と73歳の叔母での参加でしたが、とても楽しめました！！
こちらは3名からの予約となっていますが、2名参加でも3名分の料金を払えば体験できます。その際には2名参加である事を伝える必要あり。
波も良くて、すぐに３本の波に乗ることが出来た為、体験時間は30分ほどで終わってしまいましたが大満足の体験でした。ありがとうございます！

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. This time, the wind was strong, and the boat was quite rocky. I think most of the other participants were newlyweds, but one of them got seasick and vomited. I also have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I took some anti-nausea medication before participating, and I didn't feel seasick at all. Anti-nausea medication is a must!

ハワイでのパラセイリングは2回目になります。
今回は風が強くて、船もかなり揺れ、私たち親子以外の参加の方々は、ほとんど新婚さんだったとおもいますが、どちらか片方が船酔いされて嘔吐されていました。私もとても酔いやすい体質なので、酔い止めを飲んで参加したので、全く船酔いしなかったです。酔い止め必須です！

Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.

Just the perfect amount of time at the sandbar. There’s a platform if you don’t want to be in the water. There’s canoes and stand up paddle boards.
It was a fun experience over all.
Also included was snorkeling.

I couldn't book an hour of horseback riding, so I arranged for two hours instead. I recommend making arrangements early. In the end, two hours of riding was the right choice. It felt like the time flew by, and I found it a bit unsatisfying. It seems that the horse's temperament can affect the pace, sometimes being slow or well-behaved. I was a bit flustered when the horse trotted uphill, but it walks slowly. It might not be enough for those who are experienced riders. Be prepared for some soreness afterward.

1時間乗馬が取れなくて2時間乗馬を手配。早めに手配されることをお勧めします。
結果2時間乗馬で正解でした。あっという間の2時間で物足りなさを感じました。馬の性格？などで遅かったり行儀がよかったりがあるようです。登坂で小走りされたときは少し慌てましたが、ゆっくりと歩きます。乗り慣れている人には物足らないかも。降りた後はお尻が痛くなるので覚悟が必要。

I joined a tour because I wanted to enjoy Hawaii's nature while riding a horse by myself. The two-hour tour went by in no time, and I had a lot of fun.

**Transportation**
Since I was traveling alone, I requested the tour's transportation service. The schedule was set, so moving around was easy. It took about 50 minutes from Honolulu one way. There are no breaks along the way, so it's best to use the restroom beforehand.

**Check-in**
When I arrived, I was told to wait on a bench, and then a local staff member who spoke Japanese came over to explain things and handed out the tour papers. The area isn’t very large, so I don’t think you’ll get lost. If you're going horseback riding, you can't bring bags that go over your shoulder, so I stored my belongings in a locker for $5 a day. A waist pouch type is okay during the ride. They lend you a small bag specifically for horseback riding, so I brought my smartphone and water.

**Two-Hour Horseback Riding Tour**
After checking in for horseback riding, I weighed in and signed a waiver. Then, I received instructions via video. The staff asked which language I preferred, so I chose Japanese! Finally, it was time to ride. The horses looked quite big up close! I was a bit worried about being able to control them, but since they are well-trained, they moved forward when I wanted them to and stopped when I wanted them to, so I hardly had to do anything. The horses remember the path, so I just had to follow along. The horse at the front kept stopping and not listening, so the guide was urging it along.

The weather was a bit bad that day, but when the clouds cleared, I could see blue skies and the scenery from the Jurassic Park movie, which was great! The guide was a local and didn’t seem to speak Japanese, but they used simple Japanese for instructions. When the horse at the front stopped and wouldn’t move, they said, “Kick your feet!” Since everyone in the group was Japanese, there wasn’t much explanation from the guide about the locations, and we all just enjoyed the scenery at a leisurely pace.

**Lunch & Shopping**
The two-hour tour ended around 11:30. The bus gathering time was at 12:45, so I had a little time to relax. The shop was small, so there weren’t many menu items, but they sold hot dogs and snacks. There were also souvenirs that could only be found in Croatia, which was fun to look at.

**Conclusion**
We got back on the bus, which took us back to the meeting point from the morning. We disbanded at 13:50. I might have felt it was a bit short if it had only been one hour, so I’m glad I chose the two-hour tour. Since we moved in a group of about five people, if the horse at the front stops, we can’t move forward, so if there are many stops, you might think, “It stops a lot.” But I guess that’s just how the horses feel, so it can’t be helped! Overall, I had a great time on this horseback riding tour, which is something you can’t easily do in Japan! The horses were smart and adorable! ♡

1人で馬に乗ってハワイの自然を満喫したいと思ってツアーに参加しました。
2時間のツアーでしたがあっという間でとても楽しめました

送迎
一人旅だったので、ツアーの送迎付きを頼みました。時間も決められているので移動は楽でした。
ホノルルから片道50分くらい。途中休憩は無いのでトイレは済ませてた方がいいです。

受付
着いたら一旦ベンチにかけといてーと言われ待ってたら「日本語での説明がいる方はこちらへ〜」と日本語が話せる現地スタッフが説明をしてくれて参加ツアーの紙を配ってくれました。敷地内はそれほど広くはないので、迷うことはないと思います。
乗馬をする場合は肩掛けするバックなどは持っていけないので、ロッカーに荷物を預けました。1日5ドル。腰にまけるポシェットタイプなら乗馬中もOK。乗馬専用の小さい袋を貸してくれるのでスマホや水は持っていきました。

2時間乗馬ツアー
乗馬の受付を済ませて、体重測定&誓約書？に署名。その後ビデオで乗馬の説明を受けます。どの言語がいい？ってスタッフさんが聞いてくれるので日本語を選択！いよいよ乗馬です。
まじかで見る馬はけっこう大きかったです！
ちゃんと操作できるかなーと、思ってたのですがきちんと訓練を受けているので前が進んだら進むし止まったら止まってくれるのでほぼ操作はいりませんでした笑
道も馬が覚えているので、ついて行くだけでOK
先頭の人の馬が、ちょくちょく止まって言うことをきいていなかったのでガイドさんに急かされてました笑

この日は天気がちょっと悪かったのですが、雲が切れたら青空もみえてジュラシックパークの映画でみた景色が見れて良かったです！
ガイドさんは現地の方だったので、日本語は喋れないみたいでしたが、指示する上で簡単な日本語は話してました。先頭の馬が止まって動かなくなったから「足蹴ってー」って指示出ししてました。
この日は全員日本人だったので特にガイドさんから場所などの解説はなくみんなゆったり景色を眺めながら歩くって感じでした。

ランチ&ショッピング
2時間ツアーが終わったのが11:30頃。バスの集合時間が12:45なので少しゆっくりでします。
お店が小さいので、あまりメニューはありませんがホットドッグやスナックとか売ってました。
お土産もクロアチアランチにしかない物もあって見ていて楽しかったです。

おわりに
バスに乗り込み、朝集合した場所まで送ってくれます。13:50解散。
1時間だけだと物足りなかったかもなので2時間ツアーにして良かったです。
5人くらいのグループで進むので、先頭が止まっちゃうと進めなくなっちゃうので止まる回数が多くなっちゃうと「よく止まるなー」って思っちゃうかもです馬の気分もあるとも思うのでそこは仕方がないかもですが笑
でも、日本ではなかなかできない乗馬ツアーですごく楽しめました！馬も賢く可愛かったです♡

My 9-year-old grandson was very satisfied; it was an emotional experience that you can only understand by seeing it with your own eyes, like a scene from a movie.

The dirt at UTA is the best, but wearing white pants is a no-go. Disposable towels and wet wipes are essential.

There are local sales, but it's better to have a 100-yen store raincoat for rain protection (laughs).

9歳の孫も大満足、映画の1シーンだったり自分の目で見なくては、分からない感激しました。

UTA 土ほこりは、最高で長ズボン、白色は禁物
処分出来るタオル、ウエットティッシュは必須です。

現地販売が有りますが、雨対策に100均カッパあった方が良いですね　(苦笑)

The only con about this activity is I did find it on the expensive end. The total time spent up in the sky is quite short - about 5 min.

The staff were friendly and the activity itself was enjoyable.

The driver explained how to ride in Japanese during the car ride to the horseback riding location. After arriving, we were able to ride the horses one by one, and another guide accompanied us from the side and behind during the walk, helping us when we stopped. It was my first time riding a horse, and the weather was nice, with the sea looking very beautiful, which was incredibly soothing. However, my horse didn't seem to get along well with me, as it stopped and wouldn't move several times, causing the people behind me to wait quite a bit. Overall, I had a very valuable experience this time, which became a great memory.

乗馬迄の車の中で運転手さんが日本語で乗り方を説明してくれました。到着後は順番に馬に乗ることが出来、散歩途中も横や後ろから別のガイドさんが着いてきてくれて立ち止まったりした時に誘導もしてくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、お天気も良く海もとても綺麗で凄く癒されました。ただ馬との相性があまり良くなかったのか、何度も立ち止まり動かなくなってしまう子だったので後ろの人を凄い待たせてしまう事も多かったです。今回とても貴重な経験が出来たので良い思い出となりました。

Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.

This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!

NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.

This was great afternoon
We were a picked up from our accommodation and bought the full packages
There was a party atmosphere with the band playing on the boat on the way there and back.
The staff were friendly, helpful and relaxed but still professional
The activities were good fun.
Great afternoon, Hightly recommend.

The horses were very well trained, and even at 70 years old, I enjoyed it. The horseback riding course with views of the mountain scenery and the deep blue sea was great!

馬も大変良く調教されていて70歳の私でも楽しめました。
また、山の風景と真っ青の海を見ながらの乗馬コース良かった⤴️

The Pure Land existed. While listening to a ukulele performance, we took a boat to a diving spot, dove in a place with beautiful coral reefs and many fish, and enjoyed canoeing. I was able to create unforgettable memories.

極楽浄土が存在しました。ウクレレの演奏を聴きながら、ダイビングスポットまで船で行き、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚がたくさんいるところでダイビングし、カヌーにのって楽しみました。忘れられない思い出をつくることができました。

At first, I was indeed anxious about riding in a Cessna, but once we took off and I looked down from the sky, it felt really good and I enjoyed it. The pilot was surprisingly a woman and she even spoke Japanese, making it the best first experience in a Cessna. I have another trip to Hawaii planned in three years, so I definitely want to ride again. Also, during the round-trip transfer, the owner's entertaining Kansai talk was enjoyable, and my wife and I had a great conversation.

最初はやはりセスナに乗るのは不安がありましたが離陸して空から下を見ているととても気持ちがよくて良かったですね パイロットさんもビックリ女性で日本語まで話せて最高なセスナ初体験でした。３年後に又ハワイ旅行の予定があるので是非また乗りたいです それと行き帰りの送迎ではオーナー様の楽しい関西トークも楽しくて妻と話がとても盛り上がっていました

A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it

I had never tried parasailing before, and I was a bit anxious, but once I experienced it, it was over in no time, leaving only the joy of a wonderful experience. The view from 150 meters above was fantastic, especially with the good weather. There seems to be a weight limit, but it was great that three adults could ride together. Thank you very much.

パラセーリングは一度もやったことが無くて、少し不安もありましたが、体験してみればあっという間に終わって、楽しさだけが残る素敵な経験をしました。１５０メートルの上空の見晴らしは、天気も良くて、最高の景色でした。体重制限もあるようですが、大人３人一緒に乗れて良かったです。ありがとうございました。

I had an amazing time! However, a couple of things to note: there is more dust than I expected, so it's a good idea to consider your clothing and bags. They will get dirty. It seems there are lockers available, so it might be wise to store anything that could get dirty.

Also, the buggies are designed for American specifications, so the accelerator is positioned quite far back, which can be tough for shorter people. My wife drove at first but stopped partway through. Additionally, the seatbelt is very stiff and makes it difficult to drive. I had to loosen it several times while driving.

If you keep these points in mind, it was truly enjoyable, and the views were fantastic.

最高に楽しかったです！
ちょっと注意点ですが、想像以上に砂埃があるので服装やバックは考えた方がいいです。汚れます。ロッカーもあるみたいなので汚れて困るものは預けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと、バギーははアメリカ仕様のためか、アクセルが奥にあって身長が低い人はかなり辛いと思います。私の妻は最初運転しましたが、途中からやめました。また、シートベルトはとても硬くて運転しにくいです。何度も緩めて運転しました。
この点を注意してもらえれば本当に楽しかったですし、最高の景色でした。

The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.

The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.

Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!

Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.

Overall good experience, enjoyed venue , service and hawaiian dances Everyone seems to be in cheerful mood and in moments. As we are vegetarian- food was ok for us . Didn’t like patty prepared for us from Soya . I will recommend overall as memorable experience.

I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.

このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。

Driving a four-wheeler on the mountainous trails with elevation changes in the great outdoors, kicking up dust and splashing water, was an amazing experience! I didn't understand any English, but it was totally fine! I'm glad I took on the challenge.

大自然の中、、高低差の山道を四輪バギーで走行し、砂ぼこりと、水しぶきをあげながらの体験は、最高でしたー！！英語が全くわからなかったけど、全然大丈夫！チャレンジしてよかった
