The scenery was absolutely stunning. There was a bit of rain during our visit, but it might have helped reduce the dust. The staff's stories were interesting, but it was a shame that I couldn't understand enough English. There are many filming locations from movies, so watching and familiarizing yourself with films like Jurassic Park, Jumanji, and Kong beforehand might enhance your experience.
とにかく景色が最高でした。私たちの時は途中少し雨がパラついたのですが、その分埃が少なくなってくれたかもしれません。スタッフの話も面白かったのですが、英語が十分に理解できなかったのは残念です。とにかく映画のロケ地が多いので、事前にジュラシックパーク、ジュマンジ、コングなどを見て覚えておくともっと楽しめるかも。

The scenery is beautiful, and we moved slowly on horseback. The horse was smart and well-trained. I rated it 4 points because my butt hurt after riding for two hours, but I'm glad I went.

I participated with my daughter (18 years old). Since I'm not very comfortable with heights, we chose the 120m course. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and we were informed that the captain would decide whether to proceed, but we set sail safely, and all 13 participants enjoyed parasailing.
As mentioned in other reviews, there was some swaying (the boat was just the right size for the 13 participants that day; I think it could hold a bit more). I took motion sickness medication, but my daughter seemed to feel a bit seasick. I was fine, so I think it depends on the day's conditions.
The staff noticed my daughter's condition and flexibly changed her turn to an earlier time, allowing her to soar into the blue sky and enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Other participants were also concerned about her, which was very helpful.
I purchased the photos taken by the staff for $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and provided an SD card. Since the photos were taken from below, opinions on how they turned out may vary, but as they are digital, it's easy to enlarge and check them, and I think they make a nice keepsake. It seemed that other participants chose the 150m option, but even at 120m, there is a decent height, and I believe those who are hesitant can still enjoy this experience. My wife and son did not participate this time, but if they are interested, I would like to join again next time.
本人(50代)と娘(18才)の2名で参加しました。
あまり高いところは得意ではないので、120mのコースを選択しました。
当日は風が強く、ツアーの実施はキャプテンの判断との説明を受けましたが、無事に出航して、参加者13人全員がパラセーリングを楽しんでいます。
他の方のレビューにも書かれていますが、それなりに揺れがあります。(ボートは当日の13人で丁度くらいの大きさです。もう少しは乗れると思いますが。)酔い止め薬を飲み参加しましたが、娘は少し船酔いした様子でした。わたしは大丈夫だったので、その日のコンディションもあると思います。
スタッフの方が娘の様子を見て、臨機応変に早めの順番に変更してくれたので、娘も青空に舞い上がり、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの風景を楽しむことができました。他の参加者の方も娘の様子を気にかけてくださり、助かりました。
スタッフの方が撮影してくれた写真は40$で購入しました。iPhoneへのデータ転送とSDカードが貰えます。写真は下から撮影されるので、撮れ方は賛否あると思いますが、デジタルデータなので拡大して確認することは容易ですし、良い記念なったと思っています。他の参加者は150mを選択されていたようですが、120mでもそこそこ高さがあり、尻込みされている方はこちらでも楽しめると思うので、参加されたら良いと思います。妻と息子が今回不参加だったので、次回、希望があれば、また参加したいと思います。

I was able to make a reservation the day before, and the pickup location and time were emailed to me right away, which was reassuring. I had heard that there could be trouble if you don't know the meeting place, but it was clear at the ABC Store, so there were no issues.
About 30 of us boarded the bus, and we left Waikiki, arriving at the pier in 45 minutes. There, a Japanese staff member joined us and provided a helpful explanation in advance. On the boat, we also enjoyed live music.
The activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and I was satisfied to have about two hours to use freely. However, since it was "do as you please," beginners should learn how to do each activity in advance.
About a quarter of the participants were Japanese. The staff were all friendly, and it was a fulfilling experience without any feelings of loneliness. I highly recommend it.
前日に予約がとれましたが、ピックアップの場所と時間は直ぐにメールされたので安心。待ち合わせの場所がわからずトラブルになるケースかあると聞いていましたが、ABCストア前でお店のナンバーが明快だったのでトラブルなし。
30人くらいでバスに乗り合わせ、ワイキキを出発して45分で埠頭に。そこで日本人スタッフがついて事前に説明していただいて助かりました。船中では弾き語りも楽しめました。
アクティビティはシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの3種類で、約2時間自由に使えたのは満足でした。ただ、お好きにどうぞ、なので初心者の方はそれぞれ事前にやり方を学んでおいた方がよいです。

I participated with my 9-year-old son on August 18. Before making a reservation, I looked at the reviews and saw mostly negative comments, which made me hesitant, but we had a great time.
There was a small note on the boat suggesting tips, but there was no pressure to give them at all. We participated as a group of four, and no one paid tips. Regarding photos, they asked if we wanted to take some, and when I declined, they responded with a smile and said, "Don't worry."
The view over 100 meters is beyond words! The waves weren't high, and I didn't feel seasick. The staff primarily spoke English, but one of the assistants seemed to speak broken Japanese.
I came across some reviews that seemed a bit shady, but the girl at the reception was friendly and even gave us water.
Good experience!! Enjoy Waikiki!
8/18に9歳の息子と参加しました。
予約する前に口コミをみたら、ネガティブな投稿ばかりで、迷ってましたが、普通に楽しめました。
チップについては、ほしいな的な落書きが船内に小さく書いてありましたが、要求されることはまったくないありませんでした。実際に4ペアでの参加でしたが誰も払っていませんでした。写真についても撮るか?と事前確認があり、断りましたが、dont worry.と笑顔でやり取りしました。
100メートルオーバーの景観は筆舌に尽くしがたいです!波も高くなく、酔うこともありませんでした。基本的に英語のみですが、助手の人はカタコト日本語ができるようでした。

I was able to drive with my Japanese license. Along the way, we stopped at 4 to 5 locations where we took off our helmets and received explanations about the stunning viewpoints, and we also took photos. It's possible to switch drivers as a couple, so I recommend registering for that during the initial application.
It was my first time driving a buggy. Since the accelerator and brake were out of reach with the seatbelt on, I placed my left foot on top of the tire cover and drove at an angle, which worked fine.
As a recommendation, the sand dust is quite intense, so wearing white shirts, pants, or bags is a no-go. Although it’s hot, I recommend something like a windbreaker made of crinkly fabric.

We participated in a tour starting at noon with our family of four. We took a shuttle bus to Kualoa Ranch, and upon arrival, there was an explanation in English. After that, a staff member who spoke Japanese provided explanations for Japanese guests, and we received a different voucher from the one we had at the time of booking. When it was time, we showed our voucher, got equipped with helmets, watched a driving instruction video in Japanese, and then boarded the buggies.
We couldn't drive freely; instead, we followed a few buggies led by a guide, traveling at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Occasionally, we were gestured to close the gap between vehicles. There were several stops where we could get off the buggies for explanations and photo opportunities. However, all the explanations were in English, so I could only understand bits and pieces. I thought it would have been better if I had known more about Kualoa's geography and history in advance.
We skipped the area that seemed to have been used for filming Jurassic Park. If you want to get off and take photos in such places, I think the Jurassic Park tour would be better. My father, who wasn't used to driving on the left side, tended to veer to the right, which was a bit nerve-wracking. But he seemed to get used to it after a while.
Driving the buggy was pleasant and fun, but we ended up covered in dust. Our clothes, bags, and shoes were all dusty. I recommend wearing clothes and carrying bags that you don't mind getting dirty, and either leaving them in a locker or putting them in a plastic bag. After getting off the buggy, I was shocked when I looked in the mirror at the handwashing station. There was sand in the gap between my helmet and goggles, creating a line of dust on my eyebrows and forehead, making for a funny look. You won't feel refreshed unless you wash your face thoroughly.
I wouldn't recommend going out right after the buggy tour. We took a shower, changed clothes, and went out to eat. After finishing the buggy ride around 2 PM, I planned to eat at Kualoa, but by that time, the hot dogs and other food were sold out. Since I was hungry, I only had ice cream. I wonder if the morning tours are better. I also considered the horseback riding tour, so I would like to try that next time.
家族4人で12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シャトルバスでクアロア牧場までいき、着いたら英語での説明でしたが、その後日本人用に日本語の話せすスタッフの方から説明があり、予約時のバウチャーとは別のバウチャーが渡されました。時間がきたらバウチャーをみせて、メットなどを装備してもらい、日本人用の運転の説明動画を見て、バギーに乗り込みました。好き勝手に走れるわけでなく、ガイドの方が運転する先頭のバギーに何台か連なり最高速度20キロで走行。たまに車間を狭めろとジェスチャーが。何箇所かバギーを降りて説明と写真の時間があります。
しかし、全て英語での説明なので断片的にしかわからず。事前にもっとクアロアの地のこと、歴史などを知っていれば良かったかなと思いました。
最後の方のジュラシックパークの撮影で使ったようなものがいっぱいあるところはスルーでした。
そういうところで降りて写真をとったりしたいならジュラシックパークのツアーのがよいかと思います。
左ハンドルに慣れていない父は右側に寄りがちで
少しひやっと。でもしばらくしたら慣れたようです。
バギーでの走行は気持ちよく、楽しかったです。
ただ全身砂埃まみれになります。
洋服、バッグ、靴まで砂まみれ。ホントに汚れてもよい服装、バッグはロッカーに預けるか、ビニールとかに入れることをおすすめします。
バギーを降りて、手洗い場で鏡を見てびっくり。
顔のメットとゴーグルの隙間に砂が。
眉毛とおでこに砂埃のラインができ、
おもしろ顔に仕上がってました。
顔丸洗いしないとさっぱりしません。
バギーのツアーのあと、そのまま出かけるのはおすすめできないです。シャワー浴びて服を着替えてご飯を食べに出かけました。
2時過ぎバギーが終わってから、クアロアでご飯を食べるつもりでしたが、その時間ではホットドッグなどの食べ物にSOLDOUTの表示が。
お腹が空いていたので、アイスだけ食べました。
午前中とかのツアーのが良かったのでしょうかね。
乗馬のツアーも迷ったので次回は乗馬でまわってみたいです。

The only other ways to get to this beautiful gem is to rent a kayak and row your way here (appx 45mins each way, with no wind) or with another tour boat company. In Hawaii, the only way to a private boat is if you know someone who owns a boat, or if you are military (where you can rent the boat, but in Honolulu area).
I always enjoyed the going out to Kaneohe Bay with OSA.

I thought the show would take place by the lagoon pool, but it turned out to be an interactive experience in the lagoon itself. It seems like something that wouldn't be possible in Japan due to safety and hygiene concerns, haha. The life jackets are excellent and keep you upright, floating up to your chest.
When you stretch your arms out in front of you, the dolphins swim by and you can automatically pet them from head to tail. Not everyone may get this, but the instructor explained everything in perfect Japanese (maybe of Japanese descent? A local person), which was really helpful. In addition to the instructor, a Japanese person was in charge of guiding us from the meeting point to the lagoon and providing various instructions, which made me feel very secure.
For the dolphin photo op, they take two pictures: one as part of the package and another as an additional option. You can see it from the spectator seats at the lagoon, so if you have family members who aren't participating, they can take photos of the experience.

I participated with my daughter. While on the boat heading out, we were told we were too light, which made us anxious, but another mom who was with us agreed to jump together, so we were able to experience it safely. That mom was able to jump twice, once with her family and once with us, so we are very grateful for her help, but I don't think we did anything wrong, haha. If you're told you're too light, I think it's okay to ask someone else on board, "Could someone jump with me?"
We flew high right away, and it was fun without any scary shaking. The flight time was satisfying.
The meeting point is at the JTB HiBus bus stop. After getting off at Discovery Bay, head towards the sea, and once you reach the water, turn left towards the Hilton Lagoon.
Whether or not to take photos will be confirmed when you jump. For iPhone users, you can use AirDrop, and for Android users, it was $40 to purchase the SD card. Card payments are accepted.

We participated with three middle and high school students and my spouse. Although it was a long two hours, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were very smart, making it an enjoyable experience. Once you start riding, it's non-stop for two hours. Make sure to use the restroom beforehand. Also, if you're not comfortable with hard seats, you might experience pain in your buttocks or the tops of your legs towards the end. I also felt some discomfort in my rear during the latter part. My wife and two children rated it as the best activity of our trip. The guide hardly spoke any Japanese, but I think if you watch the Japanese explanation video beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem for those who don't understand English regarding horseback riding. Additionally, only waist bags are allowed while riding. Other types of bags should be stored in nearby paid coin lockers or left at the reception desk (we had to leave ours at the reception due to a locker malfunction, so it's best to avoid bringing valuables).
There is an English sign at the dismounting area that says, "If you enjoyed and are satisfied, please consider tipping." I think a tip of around 15% is generally expected.
中高生3人と夫婦で参加。2時間という長時間ですが景色も良く、お馬さん達も大変賢く楽しむ事ができました。一度乗馬すれば2時間ノンストップです。トイレはしっかりと事前に済ませましょう。また、硬い椅子が苦手な方は後半お尻や足の付け根が痛くなります。当方も後半お尻が痛くなりました。妻と子供2人からは旅行中のアクティビティとしては最高評価でした。ガイドさんはほぼ日本語は通じませんが、事前の日本語説明ビデオを見れば英語が分からない方でも乗馬に関しては問題ないと思われます。また、乗馬の際にはウエストバックのみ着用可能です。他の形状のバック類は近くの有料のコインロッカーか、受付フロントに預けましょう(私たちはロッカー故障で仕方なく受付預かりにしました、極力貴重品は持って行かない方がいいです)。
「楽しめて満足できたらチップをよろしくね」と馬から降りる場所に英字の看板があります。原則15%~程度ののチップは必要かと思います。

There are similar tours available but this is the best tour by far! We chose the morning tour. Donuts (2-3 different types), orange juice and water were provided in a boat while going to Sandbar. Probably it took about 10-15 minutes to get there. 2 staff played live music and sang variety of songs. It was beautiful and they are great singers! In the boat, there are a few bathrooms for women and I believe one bathroom for men. Life vest is available for everyone. You can bring your own beverage including alcohol. You can do some water activities or relax in the boat. Snorkeling gear is available for free, kayak and SUP are also available though you may need to wait for your turn if they are occupied. Just being in the water (we went there at high tide and the water was close to my neck and I’m 5’4”) was relaxing since the water was so warm and clear. If you have small children, you may want to choose low tide timing unless your kids are comfortable with deeper water. There was no wave (very gentle water movement). I strongly recommend this tour to everyone. This tour provides something for everyone to have fun!

Defitnitely recommend adding the banana boat/bumper tubes! Was so worth our experience!

Captain Amy and her crew made our day!
One of the highlights of our trip. We brought our very adventurous 2 and a half year old out with us to swim with turtles and the crew were amazing and supportive!
Thank you ladies for making our day. ❤️

Family of four, including one, four-year-old and one two year-old. First time for the kids on a boat and we had a blast. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and personable. They made sure my kids were safe and comfortable. The time frames were very appropriate, the staff kept everyone engaged and entertained. Some staff shout outs for Brandon, Jeremy Natalie, Faith, the guy holding the mike (sorry I forgot his name!!) . And yes we saw TONS of dolphins.

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.
I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.
There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.
The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.
However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.
Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.
アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。
一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。
二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。
先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい!という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。
ただ、かなり日焼けします!
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。
あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
酔ったと言っている人がいました。

At Kualoa Ranch, there are tours available by buggy, bus, and bicycle, but exploring the vast landscape on horseback is truly exceptional. You can take photos with your phone using one hand, as long as you keep your left hand on the reins, but it's a good idea to prepare something to hang around your neck for added security. Additionally, large backpacks and hats will need to be stored in coin lockers that allow for multiple entries. Regarding horseback riding abroad, there are Japanese-language explanations provided in advance, and the horses are familiar with the tour routes, so I think beginners will be just fine. (This may not be limited to this experience, but in general, for beginner horseback riding, it doesn't feel like you are controlling the horse.)
クアロア牧場自体は、バギー、バス、自転車で回るツアーもありますが、広大な風景を馬で回るのは格別です。携帯での写真撮影は左手を離さないことを条件に片手での撮影可能ですが、首から下げるものを準備などしておくと安心です。なお、大きなリュック、帽子などは、何度も出し入れ可能なコインロッカーに入れる事になります。海外での乗馬と言う事に関しては、日本語の事前解説も準備されており、更に、馬さんは、見学ルートに慣れているので初心者でも大丈夫だと思います。(これに限ったことではないと思いますが、初心者向け乗馬全般的に、操作して馬を操っていると言う感覚ではない)

I challenged myself with my 3rd-grade daughter and my husband to a 150m adventure. The boat ride was fast and thrilling, and the parasailing took us up to a height close to the highest point, allowing us to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki. We really felt the essence of Hawaii.

The explanation of the doctor's passion for the starry sky was very good. As the sky darkened, I was moved by how many more stars became visible to the naked eye. The explanations are in English, but I think everyone can enjoy them since they are all well-known stars. Not only stars, but we also got to see Venus, Saturn, Mars, and shooting stars, making it a tour that met my expectations.
博士の星空への情熱が伝わる説明がとても良かったです。空が暗くなるにつれて、肉眼で見える星が増えていき感動しました。説明は英語ですが誰もが知る星ばかりなので楽しめると思います。
星だけではなく、金星、土星、火星、そして流れ星も見られて期待通りのツアーでした。
ありがとう!星を目指し続けてください!!
Mahalo ! Keep reaching for the stars !!
