Oahu
I had a great time enjoying content that can't be experienced in Japan.
I think even small children can enjoy horseback riding on their own if they meet the height requirements. It may take a little time to get used to handling the horse.
Horseback riding in the magnificent nature, which is hard to capture in photos, is the best!
日本では体験のできないコンテンツが楽しめ大満足です。
小さいお子さまも身長制限をクリアすれば1人で乗馬できとても楽しめるとおもいます。
馬の操作はなれるまで少し時間がかかるかもです。
写真ではわからないほどの壮大な自然の中する乗馬は最高です!
It was my first horseback riding experience, but thanks to the well-behaved horses, I was able to complete it without any issues. It was a non-stop two hours, so I was a bit tired and my back became quite sore, but I feel it was the best experience. As advice for those who will go in the future, I recommend bringing a waist pouch. There are few places to secure valuables on the horse, so it's convenient to have.
初乗馬でしたが、お利口な馬たちのおかげでなんなく終えることができました。
2時間休みなくだったので少々疲れたのと、背中はだいぶ筋肉痛になりましたが、最高の経験になったと感じます。
これからの方へのアドバイスとして、ウェストポーチを持っていくことをおすすめします。
馬につけられる貴重品が少ないので、あると便利です。
First, during the buggy experience, we hopped on powerful off-road buggies and raced across the vast ranch. The thrill of jumping and climbing steep hills was unforgettable. Despite getting muddy, the exhilarating experience in nature was truly enjoyable. Under the guidance of our instructor, we were able to have fun safely.
Next, on the movie location tour, I learned that Kualoa Ranch has been the filming site for many famous movies. The tour took us to locations featured in classic films like "Jurassic Park" and "Pearl Harbor." The landscapes and iconic scenes we saw in the movies unfolded right before our eyes, making it feel as if we had stepped into the world of the films.
まず、バギー体験では、パワフルなオフロードバギーに乗り込み、広大な牧場内を疾走しました。迫力満点のジャンプや急な坂道を駆け上がるときのスリルは忘れられません。泥だらけになりながらも、自然の中でのスリリングな体験は本当に楽しかったです。ガイドの指導のもと、安全に楽しむことができました。
次に、映画ロケ地巡りツアーでは、クアロア牧場が多くの有名な映画の撮影地となっていることを知りました。ツアーでは、『ジュラシック・パーク』や『パール・ハーバー』などの名作映画の舞台となった場所を訪れました。映画の中で見た風景や名シーンが目の前に広がり、まるで映画の世界に入り込んだような感覚でした。
We have been to Hawaii for 20+ years. This was our first time for this ATV tour and we had fun. The guides Kidra and Logan were a lot of fun and they were very knowledgeable about the ranch and the island as well. We had fun and learned a lot about move we love. This is one of those thing we will do again.
Best way to get to see all museums if you are touring on your own!
Great day on the water!! We got to see dolphins and the water was crystal clear it was nothing short of amazing
It was my first time ziplining, and I had a great time. Since there was no pickup service, I rented a car and easily made my way to Coral Crater Adventure Park. I booked the morning plan, and afterward, since Waikele Outlet is not far away, I was able to make the most of my day. It would have been even better if it were a bit more affordable, but I was satisfied because I could enjoy it safely and fun. There was also a plan with seven lines, but three lines were enough for us.
初めてのジップラインでしたが、すごく楽しかったです。
ピックアップはなかったので、レンタカーを借りて、コーラルクレーター・アドベンチャーパークへ迷うことなく行けました。午前のプランに予約を入れ、終わってからはワイケレアウトレットも遠くはないので、効率よく回れました。
できればもう少しお値打ちに体験できれば、もっと良かったですが、安全に楽しく遊べたので満足です。
7本のプランもありましたが、私達には3本でよかったです。
To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, we enjoyed snorkeling at a sandbar, just like we did on our honeymoon. It was with a foreign tour company that has a name just one letter different from "Heaven," and all the staff were extremely friendly. A Japanese staff member was in charge of the tour, and the larger of the two boats that set sail was completely full of Japanese passengers.
After enjoying the sandbar, we had lunch with BBQ hamburgers prepared by the captain himself. Following that, we were able to snorkel for a full hour around the coral reef where sea turtles are found, and we returned to port while watching the sea turtles. It was a truly satisfying experience.
結婚35周年の節目にあたり、新婚旅行で体験したサンドバーのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。「天国」さんと一字違いの外資系のツアー会社ですが、スタッフ全員が非常にフレンドリーで日本スタッフのお姉様がツアーを仕切っており、2隻出航した大きい方の船は乗客全員が日本人で満員でした。
サンドバーを楽しんでから船長自らBBQしたハンバーガーなどの昼食を食べた後は、ウミガメがいる珊瑚礁の周囲をたっぷり1時間シュノーケリングすることができ、ウミガメウォッチングをしながら帰港するなど大満足の体験でした。
The food was ok. The noodles were the best part. The entertainment wad better definately. Did not get to see as much sunset due to the mountains.
Great experience. Great crew. Great music. Great adventure. So much fun!!!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It's a small aquarium, but the tour itself was wonderful, and I had a great time without feeling bored. My parents (65 years old) were also satisfied.
小さな水族館ですがツアー内容自体素晴らしく、時間を持て余すことなくとても楽しめました。両親(65歳)も満足していました。
It was the day after we arrived in Hawaii, but I was able to walk energetically. The group members were friendly, with an equal mix of Japanese and international participants, and the two guides led us in both Japanese and English, making the hike enjoyable.
ハワイ到着の翌日でしたが、元気に歩けました。
参加メンバーも和気藹々、日本人と海外の方と半々でしたが、ガイドさんお二人が日本語と英語で引率、楽しくハイキング出来ました。
It was a fun time driving the four-wheeler for the first time, taking turns with everyone. Riding the buggy through the great outdoors was a delightful experience. It brought back memories of various movie and drama scenes, making it a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

I had been curious about the horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch for a long time. It was great to have such a unique experience in nature.
It was my first time riding a horse, and I was scared, but I managed to get on. It was a bit tough since I had to put some strength into my legs. (I did end up with sore muscles the next day, haha.)
I'm not sure if there are several courses, but on this day, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the Jurassic Park signs or bones, but I still had a lot of fun. If I could have spoken English, I might have been able to ask about it...
The path we walked was quite narrow, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it was also fun. We enjoyed views of the ocean, walked along narrow paths, and passed right next to a herd of cows.
Since you can't carry any bags while riding, I put everything in a locker. I only took my smartphone, secured it with a strap to my belt, and kept it in a pocket where I could easily access it, but you have to hold the reins with both hands to avoid dropping it, so it's at your own risk. If you want to take photos, it's best to attach a strap to your smartphone or something similar to ensure it doesn't fall. Your own safety comes first.
The instructor kindly took some photos for us, which was nice.
Wearing long pants is a good idea. The horse can get a bit messy, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, haha.
I was satisfied with the cute souvenirs I bought. There are light snacks available, but the food might be tastier after returning to Waikiki?
I actually wanted to try the ATV experience as well, but it wasn't available that day. During the free time, I looked at the animals in the park. Next time, I definitely want to experience the ATV ride too.
ずっと気になっていたクアロア牧場の乗馬体験。大自然の中貴重な体験ができて良かったです。
初めての乗馬で怖かったですが、何とか乗れました。足に力を入れるので少し大変でした。(次の日筋肉痛にはなりました笑)
コースがいくつかあるのか分かりませんが、この日はジェラシックパークの看板や骨は見られず、少し残念でしたが十分楽しめました。
英語が話せたら聞けたかもしれませんが……
かなり狭い道を歩いていくのでヒヤヒヤしますご、それも楽しいです。
海を眺めながらや、狭い道、牛の群れの真横を通ったりとしました。
荷物は持って乗れないので全てロッカーに入れました。スマートフォンだけベルトにストラップを固定して、すぐ取り出せるポケットに入れて持っていきましたが、綱を両手で持っていないと落ちるので自己責任。
写真を撮りたい方は、スマートフォンなどにストラップを付けて、絶対に落ちないようにした方がいいです。自分が落ちないのが最優先ですが。
インストラクターの方がご好意で写真を撮ってくれていたので良かったです。
長ズボンが良いです。馬が勢いよくもよおすので、汚れます笑 汚れてもいい服装がベストです。
可愛いお土産も買えて満足でした。軽食もありますが、ワイキキとかに帰ってからの方が美味しいかも?
本当はバギー体験もしたかったですが、この日は無く。空いた時間は園内にいる動物を見たりしていました。
次は是非バギーも体験したいです。
Great for all ages! My kids said it was the best day ever. They’re 4 & 6. Was able to kayak, SUP and snorkel. Also chilled inside the boat with live music. Everyone was so friendly and helpful showing their Aloha. Would recommend to anyone going to Oahu. Totally worth the price!
Mahalo for your review! We're so glad your family had a great time. -Team KBOS
I was able to see dolphins from a distance. It was my first time, and I had a lot of fun. However, it was more intense than I expected, and many Japanese women seemed to get seasick or looked uncomfortable. Since I had experienced snorkeling for the first time beforehand, I managed to keep up, but it might have been scary if it had been my first time. Also, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Even after getting back on land, I still felt a bit wobbly. Still, I'm glad I had the experience!
イルカを遠くでしたが見ることが出来ました。初めてでしたが、楽しかったです。ただ、思っていたより激しいので、日本人の女性たちは酔ってしまったり、きつそうな人が多かったです。事前に初めてのシュノーケリングを体験していたので、なんとかついていけましたが、初めてだったら怖かったかもしれません。あと酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいかもです。陸に上がった後もゆらゆらしてました。それでも体験できてよかったです!
Thank you for joining us!
We appreciate your advice on taking motion sickness medication, as there may be waves even in areas without wind.
Like Nunu, practicing snorkeling before the actual day will help you enjoy it even more!
ご参加ありがとうございました!
風はなくても波がある場所を通ることもございますので、酔い止めのアドバイスありがとうございます。
ぬぬーさんのように、シュノーケルも本番前に練習しておくと、より当日楽しんでいただけると思います!
The hotel pickup location was ready earlier than the scheduled time. After checking IDs, we boarded the bus (it was a large bus that day) and headed to Kualoa. Upon arrival, our names were called, and we received our tickets. At this point, Japanese guests can receive their tickets from Japanese staff, who provide explanations about the facilities in Japanese, so there’s no problem for those who don’t speak English at all.
The tickets indicate the start time of the activities and the return bus schedule. For those riding horses, since you can't bring luggage, you can store your belongings in a locker for $5, which you can access in and out. They lend you a pouch that can be attached to the saddle, so you can bring water or a camera.
Before the activities, we watched an explanatory video (they ask what language you prefer), and they help you choose a horse that seems compatible with you, and then it’s time to ride. You don’t really need to control the reins because the horses are so smart and capable; as long as you ride quietly without burdening them, the horses will navigate the path on their own. If they suddenly stop, it’s usually for a bathroom break. (Laughs) But it’s still important to hold the reins properly for safety.
We only passed by the filming locations of Jurassic Park, with no stops or photo opportunities. Other tours with buggies or bicycles allowed for free photo-taking.
After the two-hour horseback riding, we had about 40 minutes of free time. You can browse the souvenir shop or have a meal. Right after the ride, a photographer takes individual photos, which can be purchased for $20 each at the entrance of the souvenir shop.
The return bus varies by destination, but you line up, confirm your name, and board the bus.
I thought it was great how efficiently everything was organized. We rode through the forest, but we also went to open areas with good sunlight, so sun protection is important. Additionally, you can’t get water, and even at the shop, a 500ml bottle costs about $3.50, so it’s best to bring your own.
The restrooms were clean, and even the portable toilets were spacious, not smelly, and well-maintained, unlike those in Japan.
I rode with my mother, who has difficulty walking, but the staff chose a horse suitable for her, and all the horses were very smart, so I was a bit worried, but everything was perfectly fine. However, riding for two hours does make your backside sore. (Laughs)
I definitely recommend participating at least once!
ホテルのピック場所は集合時間よりも早めに待機してくれてました。IDチェックしてバスに乗り込み(この日は大型バスでした)いざクアロアへ。
着いたら名前を呼ばれ、チケットを渡されます。
この時に、日本人は日本人のスタッフからチケットを貰えて、日本語で施設の説明等をしていただけるので、英語が全くな方でも問題ないです。
チケットにはアクティビティの開始時間、帰りのバスの時間が記載されています。
馬に乗る人は、荷物が持ち込めない為、$5で出し入れ可なロッカーに荷物を預けます。
馬の鞍に着けるポーチを貸して貰えるので、水やカメラぐらいであれば持っていけます。
アクティビティの前に説明ビデオを見せられ(何語?と聞かれます)自分に相性が良さそうな馬を選んでくれて、いざ乗馬。自分で手綱を持って操る…必要が無いぐらい馬が賢く利口なので、静かに馬の負担にならないように乗っていれば、全部馬が自分で道を進んでくれます。
途中急に立ち止まったりしたら、大抵おトイレです。笑
でもやっぱり危険なので、手綱はちゃんと持っていました。
ジュラシックパークの撮影場所は通過するだけで、停まったり写真タイム等はありません。他のバギーや自転車で周るツアーは降りて写真撮影自由にしていました。
2時間乗馬が終わったら、40分ぐらい時間があります。お土産屋を見たり食事をしたり出来ます。
乗馬して直ぐにカメラマンの方に写真を一人一人撮ってくれますが、その写真は1枚$20でお土産屋の入口で買えます。
帰りのバスは行き先毎に異なりますが、列に並んで名前を確認されてバスに乗り込みます。
かなり無駄無くテキパキと動けるので良いなと思いました。
森の中を乗馬で歩きますが、日当たりがいい開けた場所も行くので、日焼け対策は大事だと思います。また、水はもらう事は出来ず売店でも500が1本$3.5ぐらいしていたので、持参が良いです。
トイレも綺麗で、仮設トイレっぽいトイレも中は日本と違って広く、臭く無く、綺麗です。
今回私は脚が悪い母と乗馬しましたが、スタッフの方が、その人に合う馬を選んでくれ、何より賢
い馬ばかりなので、少し心配でしたが、全く大丈夫でした。。。ただ2時間も馬に乗るので、お尻は痛いです。笑
是非一度参加してみてください♪
I loved the sandbar! The service was outstanding!!! from the guy with the flower in his hat going over the rules and dancing. To the lifeguard that helped us attract fish while snorkeling. Most importantly, I am very happy with the service that was provided by the guy with the sun screen across with nose that gave us kayak and prattle boarding lessons. They all made me and my family comfortable and super welcomed!
Mahalo for your kind words! - Team KBOS
Wonderful, my family was very happy and excited, an unforgettable experience
The experience was great. The crew and the live music were great. We love all of the availability of the water sports- paddle boats, kayaks, snorkeling, lounging on the barge. The lunch was served right away so we were on a full stomach and it gave a chance for any late strivers to come on board.
Overall just a beautiful experience. The crew was super friendly, and super helpful with first time paddle boarders, snorkeling, and Kayak-ing people . The floating deck was awesome! I have been on a few other afternoon water excursions, by far this was the best one! Croissant sandwich was tasty and brought my own drinks! My kids are teenagers and they Also had a blast with all the activities ! This Trip was perfect for the entire family.. you won’t regret it.
Mahalo for sharing your experience with us - Team KBOS
The signal to encourage the horse is probably the sensation of pressing your heels against its belly... It seems that tapping around the arch of the foot doesn't convey the message.
お馬さんへの進めの合図は
踵を腹に当てる感覚かな…
土踏まずあたりで遠慮して
たたいてもわからないみたい…
Everything was great. We saw turtles and enjoyed the reef. It was a little difficult to eat lunch on the boat as there were not really any good seats for it. But the burgers were delicious.
Great service and hospitality. This is well worth your time and money.
Aloha Adam! We are so happy to hear you had an excellent time with our crew on the outrigger canoe! It is truly a unique and thrilling experience. We hope to have you back again sometime soon. Mahalo
Very nice experience, beautiful landscapes, your mind flies with so much nature and seeing the places where you saw a movie, wow! Spectacular experience, I recommend it
It was the tour I was looking forward to the most, and the weather was great, making it the best day ever!! It felt like heaven, and I was so happy!! Snorkeling and swimming with the fish was a wonderful experience!
一番楽しみにしてたツアーで天気もよくて最高な一日でした!!天国って感じで幸せでした!!
シュノーケリングで魚とも泳げていい経験でした!
It was great to have a horseback riding experience in the vast nature. The guide also taught us a lot about Hawaii, and it was fun!
Wearing clothes that can get dirty and sun protection are essential.
広大な自然の中で、乗馬経験ができてすごくよかったです。
ガイドの方も色々ハワイについて教えてくれて、楽しかった!
汚れてもいい服装+日焼け対策は必須
They accompanied us throughout, so even as beginners, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The horses were calm, smart, and wonderful! They even took commemorative photos for us, making it a great memory of Hawaii.
前後についてくれるので、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。馬たちが大人しくて賢くて素晴らしいです!記念撮影もしてくれて、ハワイの良い思い出になりました。
○Positive Points
- The view was absolutely stunning! I often saw paragliders from the beach, and I thought the starting point was nearby, but it was actually further out than I expected. There were 5-6 groups on the same small boat, and it felt great to be out in the wind and waves!
- It was a windy day, so we started an hour later than our reservation. They checked if it was okay to leave late and confirmed that we didn't have a dinner reservation, which allowed for the time change!
- There are many points to note below, but it was so much fun! I felt like a bird and would love to go again, so if you're interested, definitely give it a try!
●Points to Note
- Everything is basically in English, so be prepared for that... (For those taking photos, there were some people who spoke simple Japanese on the boat.)
- I experienced more seasickness than I expected, and the wind during paragliding can make it worse, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take medication just in case. I felt a bit nauseous while paragliding...
- Be careful about the meeting place! There's a large parking lot between the sea and the pool next to the hotel. The reception is in a small hut along the seaside within that parking lot, but it was hard to find... (I'll upload a photo of the reception hut, so please take a look.)
- If you have a GoPro or something similar, it might be good to bring it. Taking photos with a smartphone can be risky if you drop it, and it’s hard to take it out of your pocket to shoot without feeling nervous.
○良かった点
・とにかく絶景!ビーチからよくパラセイリングをしているのを見えていたので、近場かと思ったら、思ったより沖でのスタート。同じ船に5〜6組乗っていて、小型船ですので、風や波を受けとても気持ち良かったです!
・風の強い日で、予約より1時間遅い時間でのスタートとなりました。その中で遅れて出発でもOKか、ディナーの予約はしてないか確認してくれての時間変更になりました!
・下記注意点たくさんありますが、、とっても楽しかったです!鳥になったようなまた行きたいので、興味ある方はぜひ!
●注意点
・基本全て英語なのでちょっと覚悟が必要・・・(写真撮影の方、船の中でのコミュニケーションは簡単な日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃいました)
・思った以上に船酔い、パラセーリングでも風で煽られるので、酔い止めが気になる方は迷ったら飲んだ方が正解です。ちょっとパラセイリングの上空で気持ち悪くなりました・・・
・集合場所は要注意!海とホテル横のプールと挟まれたところに大きな駐車場があります。その駐車場の中、海沿いの小さな小屋が受付ですが、全く分からず・・・(受付の小屋は写真アップしておきますので、ご覧ください。)
・Go Proとかあれば持っていくと良いかもしれません。スマホ撮影は落としたら・・・とか勇気がないとポケットから出して撮影は考えずらいです。。
Had an amazing time at Kualoa! The ATV experience was awesome, the crew was amazing, very informative & humorous, would definitely recommend! Side note: it does get VERY dusty so dont wear white or schedule anything after this. We had to go back to our hotel to shower and get a change of clothes. Besides that, 10/10!
