We participated as a group of three. I had heard beforehand that it would be difficult for three people to fly together, but on the day, it went smoothly and we were able to fly as a family. The ground staff were very polite and friendly, which made us feel at ease. The boat staff were quick and we were able to fly smoothly. We also got to know other participants, creating a sense of unity as we waved and applauded each other. We asked for photos, and they took many shots of various moments, surprising us with how clearly our faces were captured in the air. Since returning to the hotel, we've enjoyed looking back at them multiple times.

3人で参加しました。事前の情報では3人で飛ぶことは難しいと聞いていたのですが、当日はすんなりOKで家族揃って飛ぶことができました。
地上スタッフもとても丁寧で親しみやすくて安心できました。ボートのスタッフも手早くてスムースに飛ぶことができました。
他の参加者とも仲良くなれて、手を振ったり、拍手をしたりと一体感も生まれました。
写真もお願いしたのですが、いろんな場面をたくさん撮ってくれたうえに、空中での顔がはっきり写っていたのにはびっくりしました。ホテルに帰ってからも何度も見直して楽しんでいます。

This is an attraction where you can take a buggy tour around Kualoa Ranch, which is also the setting for Jurassic World! It felt like stepping into the movie, providing an incredibly extraordinary experience! The tour is conducted in English only, and since your clothes can get muddy, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes and some face wash!

ジュラシックワールドの舞台にもなっているクアロア牧場をバギーで1周するアトラクションです！！
まるで映画の中に入ったかのような臨場感でとても非日常の体験ができました！！
ツアーの案内が英語のみなのと、服が泥だらけになるので、着替えや洗顔など持参した方が良いかもです！

It was my first experience surfing, but with the guidance of Hans and Edd, I was able to stand up right away. They also captured it well on video, making it a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it!

サーフィン初体験でしたが、Hansさん、Eddさんの手ほどきですぐに立つことが出来ました。動画にもしっかり撮ってくれて、とても素晴らしい思い出になりました。おすすめです！

Great experience out with the boat crew in Sandbar. Music was great and the entire crew shared the mahalo spirit. Definitely recommend getting to harbor early for parking. I had to park on street but you can safely with other cars.

I made a reservation for the morning session, which lasts about four hours in total. First, be aware that there is hardly any parking available for the rental cars. If you can't find a spot, you might have to park on the street along the road. (When I left after the morning session, there were cars parked all along both sides of the road.)

There were some people who struggled to find parking and were running late, but they waited for them, so I don't think you'll be left behind. However, it might be a good idea to call if you happen to be late.

As for what to bring, you'll need a swimsuit, sunscreen, and towels. You can go snorkeling, but be careful not to step on the coral, as it can cause injuries. It would be reassuring to have some kind of water shoes for the ocean.

For stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking, it's first come, first served, and there are plenty of them available, so just let the staff know when you want to go out. During this time of year, the tide was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the water was shallow enough for beginners, which I thought was nice.

On the way to and from the boat, we also got to experience the local excitement of Hawaii, which was really fun! Mahalo!

私は、午前の部で予約しました。全部で4時間程度です。まずレンタカーの人は駐車場が全然ないので注意です。止められなかったら、道沿いに路上駐車しました。(午前の部終わって帰る時には道の両側に路駐だらけでした。)
駐車場停めるのに手こずって遅い人いたけど待ってくれてましたので、恐らく置いていかれることはないかと思いますが万が一遅くなった場合は電話した方が良さそうです。
持ち物は、水着、日焼け止め、タオルなど。
シュノーケリングができるのですが、サンゴを踏んでしまって怪我する恐れがあります。海で履く用の靴下みたいなやつあると安心です。
supやカヤックは早い者勝ちで数も多いのでやりたい時にお兄さんに言えば乗れました。
この時期は潮が満ちてかサンドバーは見れなかったが足がつく程度の海で初心者にもいいのかなと思いました。
行き帰りの船上ではハワイのローカルな盛り上がりも体験できてとっても楽しかったです！！
マハロ〜！

We participated as a couple. The tour guide was very fun and kind, and thanks to them, we had the best experience. I would like to join this tour again next time.
Here is some information to share:
- The explanations were in English, but important points were translated using a translation app.
- In the experience report, it was mentioned that photography was not allowed at the fallen tree in Jurassic Park, but there was actually a good amount of time for photos later on.
- The guide took many pictures of us at great locations, creating wonderful memories.
- At the end, everyone in my tour group was giving tips of about $10 to $20 each.

夫婦二人で参加しました。ツアーガイドさんがとても楽しく親切な方で、お陰様で最高の体験が出来ました。次回もこのツアーに参加したいと思います。
以下、情報共有まで。
・説明は英語なのですが、重要な箇所は翻訳アプリを使って翻訳してくれました。
・体験談では、ジュラシックパークの倒木の箇所で撮影は出来ないと書かれてありましたが、後半の方にしっかり撮影時間がありました。
・ガイドさんが絶好のロケーションでたくさん写真を撮ってくれるので、素敵な思い出が形になります。
・終了時に、私が参加したツアーの皆さんは大体1人10～20＄のチップを渡していました。

Incredible and magnificent scenery! You can't experience this anywhere in Japan! You absolutely have to do it! I had a bit of muscle soreness afterward. Next time, I want to try the buggy ride too!

凄い壮大な絶景！日本でね絶対に味わえない！
絶対にやった方がいい！少し筋肉痛になりました。次はバギーもやってみたい！

This is a cruise where you can enjoy a leisurely sunset. It sails from Aloha Tower to the area around Diamond Head and returns while you enjoy the sunset. From the sea, you can see the hotels of Waikiki and the sunset illuminating Diamond Head. The climax is the beautiful sunset. All the passengers went out onto the deck to enjoy the sunset. There is also live music on board, creating a fantastic atmosphere. You can also purchase light snacks, making it easy to enjoy the experience.

It was hot for a long time, and sitting on the horse for two hours was tiring, but it was a valuable experience! Next time, I want to participate early in the morning!

時間的に暑くて、2時間ウマの上に座ってるのが疲れましたが貴重な体験ができました！
今度は朝早く参加したいです！

Thank you for taking photos and creating memories. It felt great to have a panoramic view of Waikiki from a height of 120 meters. I highly recommend it.

写真撮影もしてくださり、思い出になりありがとうございました。
120メートルの高さで、ワイキキが一望できてとても気持ちよかったです。
とてもおすすめです。

I had to quickly book this tour because the buggy tour was sold out, but it turned out great. On the day of the tour, we were picked up at 7:30 at the Sheraton Aloha Landing, and there was a briefing for all the tours at the site (since my English isn't very good, we could hardly understand anything, only the e-bike registration and the location of the restroom). There were six participants in total: a couple from Europe, a couple from Korea, and us, plus the guide, which made for a small group. At registration, we were instructed to store larger bags in lockers. You can buy drinks on-site, but they're not particularly cheap, so I recommend bringing your own.

The instructions on how to operate the e-bike and safety precautions were provided in a video with Japanese subtitles, which was helpful. My wife, who usually only rides a regular bike, was a bit scared, but there was practice before we started, and she seemed to get used to it and enjoy the ride. The small group size and the guide's constant consideration made us feel at ease.

We stopped at filming spots and beautiful views to take photos with the guide. The scenery was amazing! There were many spots where we encountered people on buggies or trolley tours; while the routes were different, I think they covered similar highlights. I had originally aimed for the buggy tour, but seeing the buggies moving slowly in a line made me realize it wasn't the thrilling experience I had imagined. The e-bike allowed me to go at my own pace, and both the handling and speed felt fantastic, leaving me very satisfied.

We returned to the starting point at 11:30 and finished by buying hamburgers at a restaurant (the taste was average), had lunch, and departed for home at 1:00 PM. I chose the morning-only tour, and it was just right.

バギーツアーが売り切れたため急遽こちらのツアーを予約しましたがよかったです。当日はシェラトンのアロハランディングに7：30ピックアップ、現地で全てのツアーまとめてブリーフィングがありました（英語が苦手な私達はほとんど聞き取れず、e-bikeの受付とトイレの場所だけ理解できました）。e-bikeは欧米人夫婦、韓国人夫婦と私達夫婦の6人の参加者＋ガイドさんの少人数でした。受付時に荷物が大きい方はロッカーに預けるよう指示されます。現地で買えますが、特別安くはないので飲み物持参をオススメします。
操作法や注意事項の説明は動画で、日本語字幕があり助かりました。普段ママチャリしか乗らない妻は怖がっていましたが、スタート前に練習もあり、道中は慣れて楽しめたようです。少人数で、ガイドさんが常に気遣ってくださったのも安心でした。
映画の撮影スポットや景色がいいところで自転車を止め、その都度ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただけました。景色最高です！途中でバギーやトロリーツアー？の方々とも一緒になるスポットも多く、ルートは違うのでしょうが共通点もあり見どころは押さえてあると思います。もともとバギーツアーを狙っていましたが、バギーがゆっくり列で進んでいたのを見ると、私がイメージしていた疾走感のあるものではなさそうだったので、自分のペースで進めるe-bikeは操作感、疾走感ともに非常に気持ちがよく大満足でした。
11:30にスタート地点に戻って終了、レストランでハンバーガーを買って（味は普通）、ランチを済ませて、13:00出発で帰宅しました。午前だけのツアーを選びましたが丁度良かったです。

Definitely the sun set cruise is one of the best , and most beautiful experience we had. Great food , great live music and great and delicious food .

Live music, great food , awesome crew ! Everything was perfectly organized.

Staying at the Hilton made transportation convenient.
I had to wait about 30 minutes from the meeting time until being shown to my seat. There is room for improvement.
The prices differ between the stage area and other areas. The order for the buffet is also different.
Once you take your meal, it will be cleared away afterward, so it's necessary to take what you want at the beginning without hesitation. The show time has also become shorter than before.

ヒルトン宿泊だった為、移動は便利であった。
集合時間から、席への案内まで30分程待たされた。改善の余地あり。
ステージの周囲とそれ以外で価格が違う。ブッフェの順番も違う。
食事は1回取ると後は片付けられるので、遠慮なくはじめに取っておく必要がある。ショーの時間も以前より短くなった。

We set off on a boat with a group of about 10 people. There were 2 staff members who were friendly and communicated in simple Japanese. The clear weather allowed us to enjoy a stunning view of Waikiki from the sea, which was breathtaking! I recommend this to everyone visiting Honolulu.

10名ほどのグループでボートに乗り出発。
スタッフは2名、フレンドリーで簡単な日本語の対応もしてくれました。
快晴で飛んだ海上からはワイキキの景色が一望できて、圧巻でした！ホノルルにいくすべての人におすすめ。

Guides were amazing! Wonderful stories about Hawaii, fun stops and beautiful scenery!

Freindly and nice crews
Good explanation
Great Atmosphere
Good Water Activity
Great experience of watching wild dolphin

but just want to improve for food bit more…

My first parasailing experience was so much fun! I participated in the last session at 5 PM and was able to see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki illuminated by the sunset from above.

There was one instance where it was canceled due to strong winds, and I had to change the date and rebook. I received the cancellation notice via email about 2 to 3 hours in advance.

There were about 10 to 15 participants, and besides us, there was one other Japanese person, so we took photos and videos of each other from the boat. I participated in parasailing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, and while descending, my butt and feet touched the sea, but my upper body was fine, so my smartphone didn’t get submerged.

I couldn’t find any changing rooms or restroom spaces, so I went back to the hotel as I was.

人生初のパラセイリング楽しかったです！
最終の17時から参加して、夕日に照らされるダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを上空から見ることができました。
１度は強風の影響で中止となり、日程を変更して再予約をしての参加となりました。
中止の連絡は2〜3時間前にメールが届きました。

参加人数は10〜15名ほどで、私たちの他に日本人が1苦味いらっしゃったので、お互いに写真と動画を船から撮り合いました。
スマホを防水ケースに入れてパラセイリングに参加しましたが、降下する際にお尻や足が海につくくらいで上半身は無事だったので、スマホが水没することもなかったです。

更衣室やトイレ等の着替えられるスペースは見当たらなかったので、そのままホテルまで帰りました。

The shuttle service to and from the hotel made it easy to get around, and I was able to receive explanations about tourist spots and snorkeling in Japanese, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind! The hamburgers we had on the boat were truly delicious... After getting into the water, it gets cold, so I think it's a good idea to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit (like a rash guard), hot water, a bath towel, and a change of clothes for after disembarking! It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed in Hawaii!

ホテルからの行き帰り送迎ありで楽に移動でき、日本語で観光スポット、シュノーケリングの説明を受けることができ、安心して体験を楽しめました！
船上で食べるハンバーガーも本当に沁みるおいしさでした…
海に入った後は寒くなるので、上から羽織れるもの（ラッシュガード等）、白湯、バスタオル、下船後の着替えなどを用意しておくとよいと思います！
ハワイならではの体験かつ、心ゆくまで堪能できました～

The guides were amazing. Not only were the views spectacular, but I learned so much about the land. Be sure to wear clothes you don’t care about as we were covered in dirt/dust from the trail. But it was all worth it.
Helmet provided so don’t buy a sun hat in the gift shop like I did!
Gift shop was great too. Tons of food and items to buy. Highly recommend.

I was covered in dust from head to toe! I had a great laugh with the participants with my completely black face. Long pants were a must, but since I was going to get dirty anyway, maybe shorts would have been better. That said, it was a valuable experience that you can only have here.

全身砂ぼこり!　真っ黒い顔で参加者と大笑いでした。長ズボン必須になってましたが　どうせ汚れるので半ズボンの方がよかったかな　とは言えここでしか出来ない貴重な体験でした

I had a very good experience. At the end, you put a tip in the box, but I think it would also convey more gratitude if you give money to the captain and the guide separately.

However, I was so exhausted that I couldn't do anything at all after coming back that day.

とてもいい経験ができました
箱に最後にチップを入れるのですが、それとは別に、キャプテンやガイドさんにもお金を渡すとより感謝が伝わると思います

ただ疲れ果てすぎてその日帰ってきてからは全くなにもできませんでした

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.

This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

We almost didn't make it but they held for us....by the skin of our teeth and the evening was just a blast after that. The food was good, the entertainment was funny and got the audience engaged. The views were spectacular. Had a lot of fun

This is the second takeoff following last year. As expected, I'm used to it now and have no sense of fear. The view was fantastic, and it was a bundle of refreshing feelings. The captain and crew's skills were perfect. It's a tour with no complaints.

昨年に続き2回目のテイクオフ。さすがに慣れて恐怖感は無し。眺めの良さと爽快感の塊でした。キャプテンとクルーの技術も完璧。ゆうことなしのツアーです。

It's far, but definitely worth it!
We traveled in a comfortable large bus with spacious seats.
The roads were congested, but since we climbed Diamond Head and visited the KCC Farmers' Market in the morning, it was nice to be able to sleep comfortably on the bus.
As we got closer, the color of the sea and the mountain scenery changed, allowing us to enjoy a mystical view that is different from the urban Waikiki.
All explanations were in English.
We had free time until the tour started, and we enjoyed a buffet with curry, meat, and salad. There was also a shop. There were plenty of things to see and do freely, so we had more than enough time to pass.
A paper with the meeting time and return time was distributed to each person, so as long as you keep it until the end, you can feel at ease. Even if you can't speak English, you can show the paper to get directions to the meeting place.
One issue was that the locker had a credit card error, didn't give change, and there were no staff nearby.
In the end, I was able to exchange money at the counter where I bought the tour ticket. Thanks to that trouble, I became friends with a newlywed Japanese couple participating in the same tour, so it turned out well. Unexpected events are part of traveling.
The horses are quite tall, which might be scary for beginners, but they are very gentle and listen carefully to instructions.
Basically, even without commands, they will move on their own when the horse in front starts to go, but if you keep making physical contact, they will look back as if to ask, "Is it okay to go?" and wait for a signal. So cute and smart! After a tough path, I thanked them many times.
There was no fast walking, so it was a leisurely stroll, but there were bumpy paths with ups and downs.
The guide was explaining something, but it was far away and in English, so I couldn't catch what they were saying at all. I want to improve my English skills and try again someday.
Calves came close, and the impressive mountains and breathtaking sea were just amazing! Since we were lined up in a row, there was hardly any interaction with other participants, which was comfortable for me as someone who joined alone. If you want to socialize with everyone, a bus tour or other activities might be good. Riding was a great choice for a unique experience!
Be prepared to get a little dirty or wet, so wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is important.
It drizzled, but there was no rainbow.
I wanted to see a Hawaiian rainbow!
I bought photos! I also purchased a T-shirt and a shop bag. They were cute, inexpensive, and of good quality. I wish I had bought more of the green and black bags hanging on the wall at the souvenir shop's register!

遠いけど行く価値あり！
快適なゆったりシートの大型バスで移動。
道は混んでたけど、朝からダイヤモンドヘッド登ってKCCファーマーズも回ったので バスで快適に眠れて助かりました。
近づくにつれて、海の色 山の風景が変わっていき、都会なワイキキとは違う 神秘的な絶景を楽しめます。
説明は全て英語。
ツアー時間までは自由時間で、ビュッフェでカレーやお肉、サラダを食べれました。売店もあります。他にも色々自由に見て回れるので、時間は充分に潰せます。
集合時間や帰りの時間の書いた紙を１人ずつ配られるので、最後まで無くさず持っていたら安心です。英語話せなくても紙を見せれば集合場所を教えてくれます。
１つ困ったのはロッカーがクレジットカードエラー&お釣が出ない&近くにスタッフがいない。
結局 ツアーチケットを買うカウンターで両替してもらえました。そのトラブルのおかげで同じツアーに参加する日本人の新婚さんと仲良くなれたので、結果オーライ。旅にハプニングはつきものです。
馬はかなり背が高く 初心者には怖いかも
でもとても穏やかで、繊細に指示を聴いてくれるちょー賢い子達です。
基本 指示がなくても、前の子が進み出したら勝手に進んでくれますが、スキンシップを取り続けると、「進んでいいの？」と振り返る素振りを見せて合図を待ってくれるようになりました。可愛&賢い！ハードな道のあとは「ありがと」とたくさん声かけました。
早足は無しなのでゆったり散歩する程度ですが、凸凹道 アップダウンあります。
ガイドさんがなにやら説明してますが、遠いし英語だし何言ってるか全く聞き取れなかったから、英語力をあげてまたいつか再チャレンジしたいな。
子牛が近づいて来たり、圧巻の山、絶景の海、
めっちゃ気持ち～！1列に並んでるので 他の参加者たちとの交流はほぼなく、１人で参加した身としては快適でした。みんなでわぃわぃしたいのであればバスツアーとか他のアクティビティもいいかも。なかなか出来ない経験としては乗馬で大正解でした♪
多少は汚れたり 濡れたりする覚悟で、
動きやすい服・靴大事です。
霧雨降りましたが 虹は出ず。
ハワイアンレインボー見たかった～！
写真購入！Tシャツ & ショップバックも購入。可愛いくて安くて質もよし。お土産屋さんのレジの壁にかかってる緑と黒のバック もっといっぱい買えばよかったな～！

The meeting place was hard to find, and I was made to wait a long time, which was disappointing, especially since I was treated rudely. However, I managed to make it in time for the start, and once I joined, the instructor who went into the sea with us was very kind and great. There weren't many fish, but the starfish were interesting. I also enjoyed the scenery of Magic Island.

待ち合わせ場所がわかりづらく、長く待たされたうえ、失礼な態度を取られたのが残念でした。何とか開始時間に間に合い，気を取り直して参加したところ、海に一緒に入ってくれたインストラクターはとても親切で良かったです。魚はたくさんではないけど，ヒトデがおもしろかった。マジックアイランドの景色も楽しめました。

The best experience ever. The crew members were helpful and nice.

The show was really amazing. We were able to interact with our hosts and learn how to make the head pieces. The dancing was great, but the firing knife throwing was so good . Totally worth it.

I only understand a little English, but when it comes to snorkeling, just communicate your fin size in US sizes, and once you're in the water, you can follow the staff without any issues. There were many sea turtles and beautiful fish!

On the boat, just sit back and enjoy without doing anything dangerous! The staff was very kind, providing cold water as a service and being attentive to the passengers, which made the experience very enjoyable.

The meeting place is at the location on Google Maps listed on this site, where you should look for the boat labeled "MOANA." The meeting time is 7:30, and we boarded around 8:00. The staff called out to us near the boat around that time. I highly recommend it!

片言の英語しかわからないのですが、シュノーケルではフィンのUSサイズを伝えることと、海に入ったらスタッフさんについていけば問題ないです。ウミガメやきれいな魚がたくさんいました！
船上では危ないことをせず座って楽しめばOKです！
サービスで冷たいお水を出してくれたり乗客に気配りしてくれたりスタッフさんが優しくとても楽しめました。

集合場所は、このサイトにのってるGoogle Mapの場所に行き、MOANAと書かれた船を見つけましょう。集合時間は7:30で乗船するのは8時頃でした。
8時頃にスタッフさんが船の近くで声をかけてくれました。
とてもおすすめです！
