So much fun

We did the 1000ft rope.

My son was really hesitant to go up but the staff were excellent, caring, accommodating and managed to get him to do it - which he then thoroughly enjoyed, especially when getting dunked into the sea!

Excellent staff

Highly recommended activity

It felt higher than I imagined. Even for someone like me who is not good with roller coasters, I was able to ride without feeling scared. It's located about a five-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, making it convenient for those staying at the Hilton. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly enjoy the ride even with the short time I had on the day of my departure. I wasn't sure if there was an additional fee for taking photos.

想像以上に高く感じました。
ジェットコースターが苦手な私でも、恐怖を感じることなく乗れました。
ヒルトンホテルから徒歩五分くらいのところにあり、ヒルトンホテルに滞在している人に便利な立地です。おかげで、出国当日の短い時間でもサクッと乗ることができました。
写真を撮ってもらうのが別料金かかるのかわかりませんでした。

I did a 2-hour horseback riding tour at Kualoa Ranch (with transportation included). Upon arrival, everything was in English for check-in and facility guidance. I had a reservation at 12:00 and arrived around 11:30, where I received a general briefing before heading to each activity. They advised us to arrive at least 15 minutes early, and if you were even a little late, they would start without waiting. Before that, I was told to put my backpack and other belongings in a locker, but the available lockers were broken and empty... With only five minutes left until the meeting time, I was anxious, but I explained the situation to the staff who gave the briefing and was able to hand my things directly to them. I accidentally left my valuables inside, which worried me, but they were returned safely after the tour. There is a small pouch holder on the horse's saddle, so you can put a small pouch (about the size of a sacoche) and water there. Having a strap to hang your smartphone on your shoulder makes it easy to take photos. The guide spoke English but also made an effort to communicate in broken Japanese, which was nice. The sunlight was incredibly strong, so I should have worn a long-sleeve shirt. It was scorching. Overall, it was a great experience to enjoy the stunning scenery for a relaxed two hours!

クアロアランチで2時間の乗馬(送迎付き)をしました。現地に到着し、全て英語での案内でチェックインや施設の案内があります。12:00からの予約で、11:30ごろ到着し、全体説明を受けてから、各アクティビティー先へ行きます。15分前には必ず行くように言われ、少しでも遅れたら待たずに開始するとのこと。その前に、乗馬はバックパックなどの荷物はロッカーへ入れるように言われましたが、利用可能なロッカーが故障していて空いていなく…、集合まであと5分しか時間がなく焦りましたが、説明を受けたスタッフに事情を説明して直接預けました。うっかり貴重品も入れたままで、ずっと気がかりでしたが終了後に無事に返してもらえました。馬のサドルにかける小物入れがあるので、そこに小さいポーチ(サコッシュ程度の大きさ)や水は入れられます。スマホは肩にかけられるストラップがあると撮影しやすく便利です。ガイドは英語ですが、片言で日本語で声掛けしたり気を使ってくれて感じの良いスタッフでした。日差しが半端なく強いので、長袖を羽織るべきでした。じりじりします。総合的に絶景をゆったり2時間堪能できて良い経験になりました！

I could clearly see that the staff members were making a great effort to entertain the guests. Thanks to that, even though English was the main language and there were some parts of the conversation I didn't fully understand, I had a wonderful time. I also felt that they were well-trained in safety measures. This time, we went on a zip line tour as a family, and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, creating great memories.

スタッフの方々がゲストを楽しませようと一生懸命努力している事が
良く分かりました。そのおかげで、英語がメインなので会話が少し分からないところもありましたが、充分に楽しませていただきました。
安全面についてもよく教育されていると感じました。
今回は家族でのジップラインツアーでしたが、みんなかなり楽しそうでいい思い出になったと思います。

Although it was only an English-speaking guide, we had a great time and were able to enjoy the zip line safely.

On the way there, we ended up on a bus with a group of over 40 people, and our family was separated onto different buses. However, feeling anxious, I negotiated and managed to get us all on the same bus.

英語のガイドのみでしたが、楽しく盛り上げていただいて安全にジップラインを楽しむことができました。

行きのバスで40名以上の団体と一緒になり、家族がバラバラのバスに乗車することになってしまいましたが、不安なので交渉してみたところなんとか一緒にバスに乗ることができました。

I read in a review that the wait time for the shuttle bus is long, so I took an Uber instead. It cost about $50 one way. It was great to get there and back quickly!

It cost $5 to store my luggage in a locker, but they only accepted Visa or MasterCard! Since I only had an American Express card and cash, I consulted with the staff, and they were able to help me.

The scenery was very beautiful, and the horses were adorable, making it an unforgettable experience! Important instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Please go right" and "Kick! Kick!" I would love to experience it again.

送迎バスを利用するとバス待ち時間ぎ長い、とこちらのレビューで読んだので、Uberで行きました。片道50ドルくらいでした。さっと行けて帰られてよかったです！

ロッカーに荷物を預けるのに5ドル必要でしたが、ビザカードかマスターカードのみ！アメックスカードと現金しかなかったため、受付の方に相談したところ、預かってもらえました。

とてもきれいな景色で、馬もかわいくて、忘れられない体験となりました！大切なことは日本語で指示してくれました。「右に行ってください」「蹴って！蹴って！」など。もう一度体験してみたいです。

We arrived around 8:20 since we rented a car. We checked in right away at the spot with the red umbrella. It went smoothly without any issues.

I understand some English, but I felt reassured as a Japanese female guide explained everything carefully before we boarded the boat.

All the staff were very kind, and we had a great time. We played with the SUP and the boat the whole time. The person in charge of SUP was local but could speak quite a bit of Japanese, which was very helpful. (It was amusing Japanese.)

On the boat, there was water and orange juice available. While the website and reviews mentioned snacks like chips, we only had donuts during our visit. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time we returned, which was disappointing. I hope they consider having more variety and quantity of snacks. It seems inconsistent from day to day.

It's advisable to bring marine shoes, towels, hats, and rash guards since there's no shade in the water. There was only one changing area, so there was quite a line. If you dislike waiting, it's better to come back a bit earlier.

On the way back, coincidentally, a couple of musicians participating in the tour sang for us. The local staff seemed excited, so they must be famous musicians. I wonder who they are? Their child also sang along, and it was incredibly cute. The atmosphere on the boat became very warm and pleasant.

Most of the participants were Japanese, but I didn't confirm this properly, and it seemed like they didn't tip much, which made me feel a bit sorry for the staff.

Overall, I was very satisfied. The children were happy too. Thank you very much.

レンタカーでしたので、8：20頃到着。
着いてすぐに赤いパラソルのとこでチェックイン。問題なくスムーズにできました。
英語はある程度わかりますが、船に乗る前に女性の日本人ガイドが丁寧に説明してくれましたので安心しました。

スタッフはみんな優しい方ばかりで楽しかったです。
我々はずっとSUPとボートで遊んでました。
SUP担当の方は、現地の方ですが日本語をかなり話すことができサポートもあり大変良かったです。（おもしろ日本語です）

船内は水、オレンジジュースがありました。軽食はホームページや口コミではチップス等あるようでしたが、我々のときはドーナツのみ。数に限りがあったので帰りには無くなっていたのが残念です。軽食の数や種類をもう少し考えてほしいかな。日によって違うのはどうかと。。

持って行った方が良いのは、マリンシューズ、タオル、帽子とラッシュガード。海の中なので日よけがないので。
着替えるところが1か所のみなので、だいぶ並んでました。待つのが嫌な人は、少し早めにあがることですね。

帰りに、たまたま？ツアーに参加していたミュージシャン夫婦が歌ってくれました。現地スタッフは興奮していたので有名なミュージシャンのようです。誰なんでしょう？夫婦の子供も一緒に歌っていて、すごく可愛かったです。船内がとても和みました。

参加者の多くが日本人でしたが、ちゃんとは確認してませんが、あまりチップを払ってなかったようだったので、スタッフさんに少し申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

全体的にはすごく満足。子供たちも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

I am so grateful to our guide, Mr. M! My third-grade daughter was extremely scared when she first jumped in, and I almost gave up thinking snorkeling in deep water would be impossible for her. However, the guide encouraged her and skillfully guided her, and by the end, she was able to do it perfectly!

We couldn't catch up to the dolphins, so only Dad got to see them, but we were able to see three turtles, which was a long-awaited dream for this trip. My daughter was so excited!

By the way, the next day we moved to another hotel, and she was saying she wanted to go snorkeling there too and was really looking forward to it. As parents, we couldn't have assisted her first snorkeling experience without Mr. M's help. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much.

とにかくガイドのMさんに感謝です！
小3娘は最初飛び込んだ時、めちゃくちゃ怖がっていたので、やっぱり足の届かないところでのシュノーケリングは無理かなぁ、と諦めかけましたが、その後にガイドさんが声かけて上手に誘ってくれ、最後はバッチリできるようになりました！
イルカは追いつけなくてパパだけしか見られませんでしたが、今回の旅で念願だったタートルはバッチリと3匹も見られました。娘、大興奮でした！

ちなみに、翌日には移動して別のホテルに入ったのですが、そこでもシュノーケリングする！と言って楽しんでました。親だけではとても娘の初シュノーケリングをアシストできませんでしたが、Mさんのおかげで出来ました。いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.

Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.

思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。

また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。

This was our first zipline experience and it was so much fun!! Thank you to our amazing team that lead our group. They made it much more memorable . I would definitely recommend veltra for your zipline adventure!

Easy to pre-purchase before the park, they send you the QR and your ready to go!

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!

The sunset dinner cruise was quite crowded. Since I had reserved a 5-star experience, there wasn't much of a feeling of congestion when I arrived on the floor, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meal also progressed slowly, so many people went out to the deck to enjoy themselves along the way. While sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the sunset... I realized the sky was filled with stars. Fireworks erupted from Waikiki Beach, and the atmosphere on the boat reached its peak! After that, we returned to port while indulging in jazz. It turned out to be a wonderful day.

サンセットディナークルーズはかなりの混雑ぶり。5スターを予約したのでフロアに着くとそれほど混雑感は無く、ゆっくりと楽しめました。食事もかなりゆっくりと進むので、途中デッキに出て楽しんでいる方も大勢いました。サンセットを眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら…気付くと満天の星空。ワイキキビーチから花火が上がり船内の盛り上がりも最高潮！その後、JAZZに酔いしれながら帰港。素敵な1日になりました。

It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.

船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした！
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。

Great food, good entertainment, great view of the fireworks, and ended the cruise with a fun dance party!

It was a great experience!
There were no downsides at all!
I got to see beautiful scenery, and it was a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much!

とてもいい体験でした！
悪い点は一つもありません！
良い景色を見れて、良い体験になりました
ありがとうございました！

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

It was an amazing experience. We arrive in a boat to a sandbar, the water is clear as crystal and pure. You wan snorkel, play volleyball and tan.
If you have chance you can see turtles as well !

We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.

The trip was fun and the staff were great. They gave great information about everything we were doing and safety was very important to them.

I had 2 teenage granddaughters with me. They tried paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other. I just walked around the sand bar and sat in the floating barge and talked to many others. For me it was very relaxing. And the girls loved it. They met many new friends.

The staff were very cheerful, and it turned into a fun trip! I also signed up for activities, and they were enjoyable! 😊

スタッフの方もとても明るく、楽しい旅になりました！アクティビティも申し込みましたが、たのしかったです(^^)

I was worried it might be scary since I'm not good with roller coasters, but it wasn't scary at all! The scenery and the wind felt great.

ジェットコースター系が苦手なので怖いかなぁと心配していましたが、全く怖くなかったです！
景色と風が気持ちよかったです。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and he said it was the most fun among all the activities we did. We enjoyed it more than we expected. Thank you very much.

8才の息子と一緒に参加しましたが、
いろんなアクティビティをした中で一番楽しかったと言って喜んでいました。想像以上に楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

The sandbar was in the ocean, but the weather was great, the scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun! The guide was wonderful, and the hamburger was delicious. As mentioned in everyone's reviews, it's recommended to bring extra towels and a jacket since it can get cold!

サンドバーは海の中だったけど、それでもとても天気も良く景色も良く楽しかったです！ガイドさんも素敵でハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
みなさんの口コミ同様、寒くなるのでタオルや上着は多めに用意するのがおすすめです！

I was saddened by the lack of English explanations due to my limited English skills. Japanese tourists are gradually returning to pre-COVID levels, and I hope they can implement Japanese guided tours at least once a day or at least every other day. The guide was friendly and took photos for us, and it felt great to drive through the beautiful land of Kualoa for two hours. I thought it would be even more enjoyable if I understood the movie explanations. We only passed by the giant fallen tree from Jurassic Park, while other tourists were taking photos, but we just walked by. When I asked the guide at the next stop why we didn't stop there, he said that this tour does not stop at that location. If that's the case, it's misleading to have that photo included in the tour description.

Also, when booking the shuttle tour, it's important to try various start times to find one that suits you, or you will waste a lot of time at Kualoa. We had a 10:30 AM start for the buggy tour, and our pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15 AM. We arrived at Kualoa around 9:15 AM, listened to the Japanese guide, watched a Japanese video, and then hurried to buy souvenirs before the tour started. The lockers were broken (it seems to always be that way), so we had to protect our souvenirs with eco-bags as much as possible and placed them at our feet in the buggy, but the eco-bags ended up covered in dust.

After finishing the buggy tour at 12:30 PM, I bought photos from the vendor and went to the restroom, only to find it was already time for the return bus. I had brought a change of clothes, but there was no time to change, and I returned to the hotel covered in dust. By the way, most men were wearing shorts. Sunglasses were available for rent, and they gave us a neck holder (to wear around the neck and cover the nose).

全て英語の説明で英語力のなさが悲しかったです。
日本人観光客もコロナ前に戻りつつあり、１日に一回、せめて２日に一回、日本語ガイドツアーを実施して欲しいです。
ガイドさんはフレンドリーで写真も撮って下さるし、クアロアの大地を２時間走るのは気持ち良く、映画の説明がわかったらもっと楽しいだろうと思いました。
ジュラシックパークの巨大倒木は近くを通るだけで、観光客が写真を撮っていたのに私達は素通り。
次の停止ポイントで、ガイドさんになぜさっき止まらなかったか聞いたら、このツアーはあそこには止まらない、とのこと。だったら、このツアーにあの写真が載ってるのは間違いです。
あと、送迎ツアーを申し込む時は、開始時間を色々入力してみて自分に合った時間にしないとクアロアでタイムロスが多くなります。私たちは10時30分スタートのバギーでワイキキピックアップは8時15分でした。クアロアに9時15分頃着いて、日本語ガイドさんから話を聞いて、日本語ビデオを見て、その後、開始までの時間に急いでお土産を購入。ロッカーが故障してたので、（どうもいつもそんな感じみたい）お土産を出来る限り持参のエコバッグなどで守って、バギーの足元に置いて出発しましたが、エコバッグはホコリまみれになりました。
12時30分にバギー終了後は、業者さんの写真を買ってトイレに行ったらもう帰りのバスの時間でした。
着替えを持って行ってましたが、着替える時間はなく埃まみれのまま、ホテルに帰りました。
ちなみに男性は半パンの方ばかりです。
サングラスは貸し出しあり、ネックホルダー（首にはめて、鼻まで覆う）プレゼント。

This is a place I want you to visit when you come to Hawaii.
We chose the buggy.
The price is high, but it's a facility you can only experience here.
There are also bus tours and horseback riding tours.
Next time, I want to participate in a different tour.

ハワイ来たら訪れてもらいたい場所です
私たちは、バギーをチョイス
金額は高いけど、ここでしか体験できない施設なので
ほかにもバスツアーや乗馬ツアーがあり
次回は、違うツアーに参加したいですね

I participated in a tour with a four-wheeler! I was very satisfied with the opportunity to enjoy the nature of Kualoa.

Since the buggies kick up a lot of dust, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Be careful as your hair can get quite tangled afterward.

It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't stop at the spot where the Jurassic Park sign and fallen tree scene are, but we were able to pass by it. Overall, I had a great time!

四輪バギーでツアー参加しました！
クアロアの自然を満喫できて大変満足しました。

バギーは砂埃がすごいので汚れてもいい服での参加をお勧めします！！終わった後は髪もギシギシになるので要注意です

ジュラシックパークの看板と木が横たわっているシーンの再現があるところで停車できなかったのだけ残念ではありましたが側を通ってみることはできました。
しかし、全体的にはとても楽しめて良かったです！

I experienced it for the first time. It was really high!! Looking down, the sea was far away and the boat looked tiny, and I was genuinely scared thinking the rope might snap and I would fall... My son, who was with me, seemed to be having a great time, but I was too scared to enjoy it at all. I ended up chanting a prayer. The time felt incredibly long. However, towards the end, when we splashed into the water, it was fun. Everyone was getting splashed, and we all laughed together.

The boat staff were friendly and engaging, even with Japanese guests. I definitely recommend experiencing this. It will become a lifelong memory.

As for the meeting point, it took about 20 minutes to walk leisurely from the center of Waikiki while checking Google Maps. You don't need to take the trolley.

初めて体験しました。いやもう高い！！足元を見ると海面も遠くボートもちっちゃく、ロープが切れて落ちるんじゃないかと思うと本当に怖かった、、、。一緒に乗った息子はとても楽しそうでしたが、私は怖すぎて無でした。念仏唱えました。時間もえらく長く感じました。しかし最後の方で水面にぼちゃん！は楽しかった。どの組もぼちゃんやられててみんなで笑いました。
ボートのスタッフは日本人にも気さくにどんどん絡んでくるフレンドリーな方でした。
ぜひ体験することをおすすめします。
一生の思い出になりますよ。

待ち合わせ場所ですが、ワイキキの中心からグーグルマップみながらのんびり歩いてたしか20分くらいでした。トロリー乗らなくても大丈夫ですよ。
