There was absolutely no white sandy beach due to high tide. As for snorkeling, the water wasn't particularly clear, and while the staff fed the fish to attract them, there were only a few dark-colored ones; it wasn't an experience that would leave you in awe with beautiful fish.

There are many jagged corals, so going barefoot is dangerous. It really hurts if you bump into them, so I recommend wearing marine shoes.

It was my first time on a banana tube, and it was a lot of fun. I almost fell off several times but managed to hold on tightly and stay safe. I didn't try the banana boat, but I think the bumper tube is more thrilling and allows you to scream your heart out.

Lastly, even though it was midsummer, it was incredibly cold. They only have cold drinks available. Make sure to bring a jacket and a beach towel. Even wearing a hoodie, it was cold. By the way, they sell long-sleeved hoodies at ABC as well. In Hawaii, it’s freezing inside buildings, on buses, and on boats.

満潮なのか白い砂浜全くありませんでした。それよりも、シュノーケルですが海は特に透明でもなく、魚もスタッフがエサをあげて寄ってこさせてはいますが、黒っぽいのが少しいるだけで、きれいな魚がたくさんいて感動するようなことはありませんでした。
ゴツゴツのサンゴがたくさんあるので素足は危ないです。当たると本当に痛いですのでマリンシューズを履くことをおすすめします。
バンパーチューブは初めてだったのでとても楽しかった。何度も落ちそうになったけど必死にしがみついてなんとか無事でした。バナナボートはやりませんでしたが、バンパーチューブのほうが思いっきり叫べるしスリリングで楽しいと思います。
最後に、真夏でしたがまじで死ぬほど寒いです。飲み物は冷たいものしかありません。必ず上着、ビーチタオルを持っていってください。パーカー着ても寒い。ちなみにABCでも長袖のパーカーなど売っています。ハワイは建物内もバスも船の上も死ぬほど寒いです。

This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Georgie was so knowledgeable and made the UTV tour so much fun!
Great adventure tour for those who like to really explore. You can tell this company is passionate about what they do! Best tour on the island by people who live and breathe it!

C'était une expérience incroyable! L'équipage et les musiciens étaient au top! Très bien organisé et encadré !!! Je recommande a 100%
J'ai pu faire du snorkeling, paddle et canoé toujours dans la bienveillance de l'équipage. Merci pour l'expérience.

We took a boat from the port, which we reached by bus in about an hour from Ala Moana. The live music was lovely, and the lunch was quite tasty.

On that day, the wind was strong and the water was cold, so I returned to the boat after wading in up to my waist. Since my condition and the water temperature didn't match well, I gave it four stars.

My two college-aged daughters enjoyed kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming for a full two and a half hours. Most of the other guests were having fun in the sea.

アラモアナからバスで1時間くらいで到着した港で船に乗りました。生演奏もステキで、ランチも割とおいしかったです。

この日は風邪が強く、水が冷たかったので、私は腰まで入水したところで船に戻りました涙
私の体調と水温が相性が合わなかったので星4つにさせてもらいました。


大学生の娘ふたりは、2時間半たっぷりとカヤック、サップ、泳ぎと楽しんでいました。ほとんどの他の方々は海で楽しんでおられました。

During the activity, the staff took photos for us, but when I received them via email, the image quality was poor, making it difficult to recognize faces, which was disappointing. Maybe it was because I was using an Android? However, after returning to my home country, I received high-quality photos.

At first, it felt like we were walking among the trees, which made the time seem a bit long, but once we reached the area where we could see the ocean, the scenery was beautiful and refreshing. The footprints of Godzilla and the canyon from Jurassic Park were particularly impressive. I could see a line of 4WD vehicles from other tours, which looked just like a scene from the Jurassic movie.

For safety reasons, video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was fine. We were allowed to bring about two small bags. Larger items should be stored in lockers or the vehicle. It might be good to have a small bottle of water with you.

After returning to Japan, I really wanted high-quality photos from the tour, so I emailed the contact who had reached out right after the tour and asked if they could send me higher quality photos as attachments. They sent them right away, which truly impressed me.

アクティビティの途中でスタッフの方が写真をとってくれますが、メールで受け取ったら画像の画素数が悪く、顔の判別が不可能な感じでがっかりでした。アンドロイドだからかな？でも、帰国後に高画質の写真をいただけました。

最初は木々のなかをいく感じでちょっと時間を長く感じましたが、海がみえるあたりから景色がとてもよくて気持ちよかったです。ゴジラの足跡、ジュラシックパークの渓谷。
　特に他のツアーの４WDの車列がみえ、それが、あのジュラシックの映画のワンシーンのようです。
　安全のためビデオ撮影は不可で、写真は大丈夫でした。荷物はポシェット２つ分くらい持ち込み可能でした。大きな荷物はロッカーか車にしまっていきましょう。小さな水があるといいかも。

日本に帰国後、やっぱり高画質のツアー中の写真がほしくてツアー直後にメールをくれた先にメールでもっと高画質の写真でメールに添付してほしいとお願いしたら、すぐに送ってくれました。これには本当に感激しました。

I thought the first zip line would be the most challenging, but the staff worked hard to keep everyone excited, and we had a great time. Crossing the small suspension bridge along the way was probably the funniest part! The transportation to Waikiki was also comfortable.

最初のジップラインに行く時が一番大変だと思ったがみんなを盛り上げようと頑張っているスタッフさんと楽しく行けました。
途中の小さな吊り橋を渡る時、凄く笑わせてくれたところが一番楽しかったかもしれないけど？!
ワイキキまでの送迎もあり快適でした。

It felt like we were casually scuba diving down to the seabed. I was very satisfied to see various sizes of fish and sea turtles! The water can get murky or hard to see depending on the currents and weather, but I think only those with a broad mindset who can accept that should go.

海底までいくので、気軽にスキューバダイビングをしているようでした。そして大小様々な魚やウミガメが見れて大満足でした！潮流、天気によって海水が濁ったり見えにくかったりするようですが、それも仕方がないと思える心が広い人だけがいけばいいと思います。

Unfortunately, it was high tide, so there was no sandbar, and the shallowest part was about waist-deep. It was much colder than I imagined, and I was shivering. I recommend bringing thick bath towels for everyone! The sea was beautiful, but there weren't many fish at the snorkeling spot. The fun guide, the burgers on the boat, and the warm drink at the end were great! Thank you!

あいにく満潮時間だったのでサンドバーはなく一番浅いところで腰くらいでした。。
想像よりかなり寒くてガクガク震えていました。
厚めのバスタオルを人数分持っていくのをオススメします！
海は綺麗でしたがシュノーケルの場所に魚はあまりいなかったです。
楽しいガイドさんと船上ハンバーガー、最後の温かいドリンクが良かったです!
ありがとうございました！

I used the service in late July. A shuttle bus labeled with the scenery of Kualoa Ranch came to pick us up at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. There were no other Japanese people besides my family.

The transfer took about an hour, and as I had been informed beforehand, the entire briefing was in English. We managed to understand the meeting time and place through gestures and the paper we were given.

We watched a pre-briefing DVD, but since it was in English, we watched the Japanese dubbed version on a separate TV.

I thought it was just a buggy tour, but we stopped at various points, including famous movie filming locations and stunning viewpoints, where the staff took photos for us. My wife and two daughters were very satisfied!

The dust was indeed quite something. Some Americans were dressed casually in T-shirts, shorts, and sandals, but I was glad I participated in athletic wear.

It was a very real and priceless experience that you can't enjoy at USJ or Disneyland!

７月下旬に利用させてもらいました。シェラトンワイキキホテルまで、クアロアランチの風景がラベリングされた送迎バスが来てくれました。日本人は我がファミリー以外はゼロだったです。
移動は一時間ほどで到着し、事前には聞いてましたが終始英語でのレクチャー。何となくジェスチャーと渡された紙で集合時間と場所を把握します。
事前レクのDVDを見ますが、英語なので自分たちは日本語吹替版を別ＴＶで見ました。
ひたすらバギーツアーだけだと思ってましたが、ところどころで停車して、有名な映画のロケ場所だったり、絶景スポットでスタッフの方が写真を取ってくださり、妻も娘二人も大満足でした！
砂埃はやはりすごいのです。アメリカの方はTシャツ短パンサンダルのラフな格好の方もいましたが、私は運動着で参加して正解でした。
USJやディズニーランドでは味わえない、とっってもリアルでプライスレスな体験ができました！！

When I rode, there were seven buggies lined up, and we stopped about five or six times at scenic points for photo opportunities. The mountains and the sea were magnificent, providing a rare experience that you can't have in Japan.

I went with my wife, our children (a college student and a high school student), and my 69-year-old mother-in-law, and everyone enjoyed it.

The road is quite steep and bumpy, so it might be tough for those who are not used to driving. If you're not confident, you can have an instructor drive for you.

Since my buggy was seventh in line, there was a lot of dust, and my clothes ended up completely white while my face turned black, so be prepared for that. After the tour, you can wash your face and hands at a water station. I recommend wearing the goggles and the neck warmer-like cloth they provide as a mask during the tour.

私が乗った時は7台のバギーが連なって走り、途中の絶景ポイントで5、6回程下車して写真タイムがありました。山も海もとても雄大で、日本では味わうことができない貴重な体験ができました。
妻、子供（大学生と高校生）、69歳の義母と5人で乗りましたが、全員楽しめました。
道は結構な急勾配の凸凹道なので、運転に不慣れな人には厳しいかもしれません。自信がない人はインストラクターの人に運転してもらえます。
私の車の順番が7番目だったためか、砂埃が凄くて、服は真っ白、顔は黒くなるので覚悟はしておいてください。ツアーが終わると水道で顔や手を洗えます。ツアー中に貸してくれるゴーグル、マスク代わりに貰えるネックウォーマーみたいな布はきっちり着用することをオススメします。

Unlike Japanese riding clubs that use racehorses, the horses here are gentle and calm, so I wasn't scared at all. The scenery, with both the sea and mountains, was stunning and breathtaking. I don't think you could ride for two hours in Japan for this price. It's a great deal.

競馬の馬を使用している日本の乗馬クラブとはぜんぜんちがって、やさしくておとなしい馬なのでぜんぜん怖くなかったです。景色は海も山もすばらしくて圧巻でした。日本で2時間乗馬したらこんな値段でできないと思う。めっちゃお得。

I was moved by the deep blue of the sea seen from above. The rich, deep blue ocean is something you rarely encounter elsewhere. I was able to experience a precious moment.

上空から見た海の青さに感動しました。濃い深みのある青い海は他ではなかなか見られません。貴重なひと時を体験することが出来ました。

Appreciate how all museums are bundled together on passport, really great day on grounds.

My daughter absolutely loved this beach! We loved this and would go back time and time again!

Fun to get all the movie history experience, as well as getting to see the beautiful farm! Family friendly too

Beautiful views of the crystal clear Waikiki waters!

Really eloquent set up, and a fun evening on vacation! Fun to be on the water compare to the nightly restaurants!

Nice to be able to set up the passport ahead of time and have it ready day of

The stargazing event at Ko Olina in HAWAII was really great! ✨ Although the lights from the surrounding hotels made it a bit difficult to see some stars, the explanations about the stars were thorough. We got to use two telescopes: one high-precision telescope with electronic GPS and a regular one, and all participants took turns looking through them. The teacher also provided explanations while showing the stars on a PC screen. They spoke in broken Japanese, so families with children might find that the kids may not understand the English explanations. Japanese participants should keep this in mind when joining! Date of participation: August 12, 2023 (Friday).

I participated in the main event of this trip, the Dolphin Touch. The price was so high that I hesitated, but I decided to go for it thinking it would help support the dolphins' lives.

After the driver dropped everyone off at the park, he just disappeared, leaving us all a bit confused about what to do. We nervously approached the reception desk, and I was relieved that the staff understood when I presented the voucher. The voucher is essential. Neither the driver nor the reception staff spoke Japanese. I received a paper with the return meeting time written in Japanese and went inside. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so they explained everything to us, which was a huge help.

We were in the water for about 20 to 30 minutes, and with a group of around 10 people, there was one trainer and one dolphin, so we took turns touching and taking photos. Everything was in English, but they communicated how to touch the dolphins using gestures, so it worked out fine.

After that, we had lunch at the park's restaurant (optional) and then went to the area where we could interact with birds. The kids seemed to really enjoy this, going in multiple times to feed them. They were pecked at without mercy, but despite the pain, they looked like they were having a great time.

We were also given lettuce-like leaves by the staff to feed the fish, and they were eating it surprisingly eagerly. It felt like a small aquarium, but since it wasn't crowded, we could take our time to look around. The scenic coastal road on the way there and back made for a fun day.

今回の旅行のメインイベント、イルカタッチに参加しました。
料金が高すぎて迷うほどでしたが、イルカ達の生活の足しになっていると思って思い切って申し込みました。
ドライバーさん、パークについて皆を降ろしたらそのままいなくなってしまって、どうしたら良いのか皆ザワザワ。恐る恐る受付窓口に行ってバウチャーを出したら受付の方がわかってくれて良かったです。バウチャー必須です。ドライバーもですが、受付でも日本語は通じません。帰りの集合時間が日本語で書かれた紙をもらい、中へ。中には日本語を話すスタッフがいたのであれこれ説明してもらえてすごく助かりました。
水に入っているのは20～30分ですが、10名ほどのグループにトレーナーとイルカが1匹なので順番にタッチしたり写真撮ったりします。全て英語でしたが身振り手振りで触り方などを教えてもらえるのでなんとかなります。
そのあと、園内のレストランで昼食を食べて(任意)、鳥に触れ合えるコーナーへ。
子供達はこれがすごく楽しかったようで、何度も入っては餌をあげていました。容赦なく指をつつかれたりしますが、痛がりながらも楽しそうでした。
スタッフからレタスみたいな葉っぱをもらって魚にあげることもできます。
びっくりするくらいむしゃむしゃ食べてました。笑
規模が小さい水族館な感じですが、混んでいなかったのでゆっくり見ることが出来ました。行き帰りも景色の良い海沿いの道なので楽しい一日になりました。

We participated as a family of four (two boys in 6th and 4th grade). The pickup was smooth, and the shuttle bus was new and comfortable. There was one Japanese female staff member on site, which made the children feel at ease. We checked the low tide times in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to play in water that was about thigh-deep at the sandbar. By the time we returned to the boat, the water level had risen significantly, which surprised the kids (it was a great experience). The wind was strong, and the SUP and canoe were quickly swept away, but we had plenty of fun. The SUP had a loose screw and was exposed, which could have caused injuries. The snorkeling was just for fun, so if you're looking for a more serious snorkeling experience, I recommend a different tour. There were jellyfish along the way, but the staff informed us, so we avoided getting stung. I'm glad I brought aqua shoes, as there were a lot of corals, and going barefoot could lead to injuries. We didn't see any sea turtles on this tour, but it seems like they were spotted on another tour, so I plan to try again someday. I recommend arriving a bit earlier than the meeting time to change clothes, as there are only 1-2 changing rooms for passengers. The beautiful sandbar, delicious donuts, and the music along the way created a wonderful atmosphere and made for a fun memory!☆

家族4人（小6小4男児）で参加しました。ピックアップもスムーズで送迎バスも新しく快適でした。現地には日本人女性スタッフが1人がいたので子供たちも安心でした。肝心のサンドバーは事前に干潮時間を調べて予約したので太もも位の高さで遊べました。船に戻る頃には大分水位が上がっていたので子供たちもびっくりしていました（いい体験です）。風が強くSUPやカヌーはすぐ流されてしまいましたが十分楽しめました。SUPからねじが外れていてむき出しでケガしそうでした。シュノーケリングは遊び程度なので本格的なシュノーケリングがしたい方は別のツアーをおすすめします。途中毒クラゲもいましたがスタッフが教えてくれたので刺されずに済みました。持って行ってよかったのがアクアシューズです。サンゴがいっぱいあるので素足だとケガすると思います。このツアーではウミガメは見れず、別のツアーでは見れたようなのでいつかリベンジします。集合時間よりも早めに上がって着替えを済ませることをおススメします。（乗客対して更衣室が1～2か所しかありません）美しいサンドバーはもちろん、美味しいドーナツも道中の演奏も雰囲気がよく楽しい思い出になりました☆

I recommend mountain biking over buses, buggies, and horses! Since it's electric, it was easy to ride, and being able to go at our own pace was great.

バスよりも、バギーよりも馬よりも、マウンテンバイクがおすすめ！電動なので楽々で行けました、自分たちのペースでまわれるのもいい

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when you hear you're swimming with sharks without a cage. It was a very neat experience. The sharks pretty much stay below you. The crew does a good job of explaining their behavior and what to do around them. The crew was very knowledgable and made the tour exciting. I think the only thing I would change is maybe running the line that everyone hangs onto away from the boat. I felt like at times the waves would bring me back into the boat. It would be nice to just float on the surface away from the boat. But it was still very cool, the crew lets you go out and dive down and "hang" with the sharks for a little bit. Definitely a bucket list item. Would suggest brining your own snorkel gear if you find it hard to fit rentals. Bring a GoPro too! But if you forget, they're taking video and pics of everyone the whole time! Other than that, book it and go have fun!! Well worth the time and money!!

The ride from Disney Aulani was awesome, as we had our own car..

Both the staff and animals welcomed us as we arrived, my kids enjoyed feeding the animals so much they asked to go back.

The ATV tour was fun, the racing around the track was exhilarating for all of us. The dirt/mud is something that needs to be prepared for. Wear dark/older clothes if possible.

The photo package was worth it. Ask questions, learn from the locals, tear it up.

MIckey did a great job of explaining and making sure that everyone felt safe and had a good time. I only wish we could have stayed out longer.

I was first grateful that there were Japanese staff members since I am not fluent in English. The explanations were very clear. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, often engaging in conversation. The donuts were delicious, and there was plenty of water available.

We were able to enjoy both the banana boat and the bumper tube, and there were many types of activities to choose from. The wonderful live music was soothing, and we had a really fun time!

The weather wasn't great, so the water wasn't clear, and it was cold when the wind blew. It seems that it rains every day due to the geography, so there's not much to be done about that. I recommend wearing a rash guard.

英語が堪能でないので、日本人スタッフがいてくれたことにまず感謝でした。説明がよくわかりました。スタッフの方は皆さん明るくて、話しかけてくれたりしてとても優しかったです。ドーナツも美味しかったし、水分もたくさん用意されてました。
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ両方できて、遊べる種類もたくさんあるし、素晴らしい生演奏に癒されて、とても楽しい時間でした！

お天気がイマイチでしたので、海の中もクリアーでなく風があると寒かった。地形的に毎日雨降るそうで仕方ない所ですが。ラッシュガード着用をオススメします。

We all felt like kids again, what a day of play! Hope we can be back soon.

Great crew and lovely time. The snorkeling was a little deep, but the abundance of turtles made up for it. The snacks and sodas for the sail were very welcome. Wonderful time for all!

When I arrived at Kualoa Ranch by bus, it was drizzling, and at times it got stronger, so I was worried about whether we could enjoy the experience. However, after borrowing a raincoat, it cleared up and I was able to comfortably participate in the tour!

There was one instructor and about six participants, including myself, and we rode horses for about an hour and a half. We were able to enjoy the vast nature while visiting the filming locations of movies. The horses were very well-behaved and participated in the tour calmly, mostly without needing much direction from us.

The tour was conducted in English. Before participating, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so they confirmed the meeting place and time for me, allowing me to join without any trouble or confusion!

After the horseback riding, we had some time before the return bus, so I looked at souvenirs and bought some drinks and ice cream to enjoy.

　バスでクアロアランチに着いた時はパラパラ雨が降っていて、時に強くなることがあったので体験ができるか心配していました。カッパを貸してもらって出発後は晴れて来て、快適にツアーに参加できました！

インストラクターさん1人と、私含め6名の参加者と約1時間半ほど？乗馬をしました。
映画の舞台を巡りつつ、広大な自然に癒されました。
お馬さんもとてもお利口で、ほとんどこちらの操作？なしでも一列で並んで穏やかにツアーに参加できました。

ツアー中は英語での参加でした。
参加前は日本語対応のスタッフもいてくれたので、集合場所や時間を確認して教えてくださり、困ったり迷わず参加することができました！

乗馬後帰りのバスまでに時間があったので、お土産を見たり、飲み物とアイスを買って食べたりしました。

The crew was super nice and made us feel at home. Food and drinks were great and of course the views and activities were the highlights of the trip!
