Such an awesome experience with great guides and entertainment.

Even as someone approaching their sixties, I was able to enjoy the bumper tubes and banana boat. The sea was beautiful, and I had a great experience.

還暦近くの私でも、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートは楽しめました。
海もきれいで、いい体験をさせていただきました。

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.

this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.

and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.

we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

I make a reservation every time I come to Hawaii. Especially while waiting for the sunset, enjoying my favorite sparkling wine, Hawaiian beer, and cocktails is the best.

ハワイに来る度に予約してます
特にサンセットを待ちながらゆっくり好きなスパークリング、ハワイビール、カクテル三昧は最高です

Unbelievable view of the island from where we were. Amazing experience to say the least.

An amazing experience and the staff (Dom and Bill) were outstanding! Super funny and great guides. I would recommend them highly.

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

Let's start with the boat - Fabulous & modern, a vessel to be admired. The captain and crew - freaking amazing, patient, kind, informative, went above and beyond. Took us right out to the sea turtles. It was a perfect day with perfect hosts and an experience we will never forget.

There were various courses to choose from, and I made the right decision by choosing the buggy course! I was a bit worried because there was no Japanese-speaking staff, but there were staff members who were used to dealing with tourists, so I was able to complete the tour without any issues! The price is a bit high, but it was fun!

色々なコースがあり悩みましたが、バギーのコースにして大正解でした！
日本語対応の方がいなくて少し悩みましたが、観光客への対応は慣れているスタッフさんもいてなんとかツアーを無事終えることができました！
お値段は少し張りますが、たのしかったです！

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.

The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.

The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.

Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.

In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!

Riding the horse was challenging at times, but it was fun. The instructor was kind, and there was nothing I didn't understand. The scenery was just beautiful, and the horses were adorable.

The sunlight was strong, and there were times when tall grass and branches could hit you, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. Also, if you can't use your card for the dedicated lockers, you'll need to use cash, so it's a good idea to have $5 on hand.

馬に乗るのは難しいところもあったけど、楽しかった。
インストラクターの人は親切だったし、わからないことはなかった。
景色がとにかく良くて、馬も可愛かった。

日差しも強く、背の高い草や枝が当たることもあるので、長袖の着用をおすすめします。
また、専用のロッカーは手持ちのカードが使えない場合、紙幣を入れることになるので5ドルは手持ちがあった方が安心です

The long-awaited parasailing was enjoyable, and the journey to the point was fun as well. I also felt that the airtime was longer than expected. However, while they took photos for us, the quality felt a bit rushed considering the high price for the photo service. Additionally, there was a strong push for tips, which was a bit off-putting.

念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。

The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly! Lunch was delicious. Fun to meet other people from all over.

The crew was very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about Hawaiian culture from them.

The Chief was so funny and endearing.

The dancers were fabulous as were the fire dancers.

Es war ein sehr interessanter Tag.
Alles war gut organisiert.
Mit dem Audioguides konnte man alle Informationen bekommen.
Leider war die Gepäckabgabe sehr teuer, 2 Rucksäcke kosten 20 $, wir dachten nicht dafür noch extra zahlen zu müssen.

The staff was awesome! We had a wonderful time at the sandbar. Highly recommended! I would suggest booking the morning excursion. Worked for us wonderfully! The bad was so fun. Played all the songs requested.

While there may be various opinions, I highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch at least once. You’ll get used to driving the buggy in about five minutes. It’s amazing to enjoy such great nature just about an hour from downtown Honolulu.

The instructors speak entirely in English, and while I didn’t understand everything 100%, they provide detailed and enjoyable explanations about Hawaii’s history and legends.

There are warnings regarding dirt, but in reality, it wasn’t that bothersome. The smell of the helmet was a bit noticeable, but aside from that, given the opportunity to enjoy nature and interact with animals, some dirt and smell are somewhat unavoidable.

Overall, I think it was a very good experience.

色々と賛否もあると思いますが、クアロア牧場は一度は行くことをお勧めいたします。
バギーの運転も5分で慣れます。
ホノルル市内から1時間程度でここまで大自然を満喫できるのは最高です。

インストラクターの方はすべて英語で、私も100%理解はできておりませんが、
ハワイの歴史や言い伝えなどかなり詳しく丁寧に(楽しく)説明してくれます。

汚れに等に関しても注意勧告はありますが、実際はそれほど汚れは気になりませんでした。
若干ヘルメットの匂いが少し気になった程度です(笑)
ただ、大自然を満喫し、動物たちと触れ合う以上、汚れや匂いはある程度仕方のないことです。

トータルで考慮して、とても良い経験だったと思います。

I was a beginner at horseback riding with limited English. First, we watched a short Japanese video, and that was the end of the explanation. After that, I was guided by an English-speaking guide to ride the horse. The guide gave simple instructions in Japanese like "right," "left," "kick," and "pull," so I didn't have any particular trouble with the language. I ended up being at the front, and there were times when I felt anxious not knowing the way when the guide was at the back. However, the horse was smart and knew the way, so even when I gave incorrect instructions, it still took the right path. It was my first time riding, but the interactions with the horse were very enlightening, and it was a wonderful experience.

英語カタコトで初乗馬のものです。
まず短い日本語のビデオを見て説明は終わりです。あとは英語のガイドさんに誘導されるまま馬に乗せられます。ガイドさんは右・左・蹴って・引っ張って、などの簡単な日本語で指示をしてくれるので、言葉は特に困りませんでした。私は先頭になってしまい、ガイドさんが後列についているときは道が分からず不安な時はありましたが、馬が賢く道をわかっているので私が間違えた指示をだしても正しい道に入ってくれました。乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬とのやり取りはすごく気づかされることも多く、すばらしい体験でした。

If you’re second guessing whether or not you should do it, DON’T. I’m so glad I didn’t let my fear get in the way of experiencing such an unforgettable moment. I learned a great deal and have found a new appreciation for these apexes predictors.

I had a blast was saying goodbye to a friend and couldn't have asked for better service or a view. Everyone was nice and respectful and the games where a bonus!

We had a great time other than the water being freezing we had a blast! Absolutely amazing service and all around a great time and company. Professional and on time!

Ride to the ship was ok. Getting onboard was good. Overall food on deck 2, roast beef menu was subpar. Not good enough to want seconds. Wife and I felt this excursion was way too long. Especially being on the water got boring and we love the water. Sorry but the entertainment was that exiting. We were just counting down the minutes to get off the ship. The staff was nice and accommodating but the overall feeling of wanting to stay on the ship died off after the first hour on board.

My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

At first, I felt scared, but the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. People of a certain age can try it safely. I recommend it.

はじめは怖く感じましたが、空の上から見るハワイの景色は最高でした。ある程度の年齢でも安心にトライできますよ。おすすめします。

we saw the main museum, the shuttle bus takes you to the Base & Missouri for a tour. you need the full day to see it all.

They intentionally made the road bumpy. It depends on the driver's skill, but my husband drove roughly on purpose, making it feel like a roller coaster, and our 9-year-old was screaming the whole time. At one point, we sped right into a puddle, and we all ended up covered in mud, haha. Of course, the other buggies remained clean. With ups and downs, puddles, rivers, and magnificent scenery, it was an incredibly fun two hours! (I thought it would be two hours including the briefing, but we actually drove for a full two hours, haha.) The staff were all very friendly. You can enjoy it even if you know nothing about Jurassic Park. By the way, all the explanations along the way are in English.

I realized after the tour that I had dropped my phone during the trip. It's better to bring a bag that closes securely. When I informed them about the lost phone, they said they would call if it was found. A few days later, I received a call from a Japanese person saying it had been found. They seemed to be considerate since I am Japanese (even though they connected me with a completely different department). We had already moved to the Big Island, but that person coordinated with their boss and sent my phone to the Big Island. It arrived the next day, so I was able to receive it safely before returning home, and I am very grateful.

あえて道をボコボコにしてあるんですね。ドライバーの技量にもよりますが、主人はわざと荒く運転したのでまるでジェットコースターのようで9歳の子供がずっとキャーキャー言ってました。途中の水たまりでは思いっきりスピードを出して突っ込み、我が家は全員泥だらけになりました笑。もちろん他のバギーたちは綺麗なままです。アップダウンあり、水たまりあり、川あり、雄大な景色ありで、めちゃくちゃ楽しい2時間でした！（事前説明含めて2時間かと思ったら、ちゃんと2時間走ります。笑）スタッフもみんな親切です。ジュラシックパークを何も知らなくても楽しいです。ちなみに途中の解説は全て英語です。

ツアー道中で携帯を落としてしまったことに、ツアー後に気づきました。口がしっかり閉まるバッグを持って行った方が良いです。携帯を落としたことを伝えたところ、見つかったら電話すると言ってくれました。数日後に見つかったと日本人の方から電話がありました。私が日本人なので気遣ってくれたようです（全然異なる部署にも関わらず繋いで下さったようです）。私たちは既にハワイ島に移動していたのですが、その方は上司と掛け合って下さり、携帯をハワイ島まで送って下さいました。翌日着で届けて下さったため、帰国前に無事に受け取ることができ感謝しかありません。

We went quite far out on the boat and took off from it! The boat swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but from below, the height of 120 meters surprisingly felt high, and it was more terrifying than just feeling seasick. (laughs) Once in the air, I was healed by the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea. They took photos from the boat, which I purchased later for $40. It was over in no time, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ボートで結構沖まで進み船の上から飛び立ちました！波でボートは結構揺れましたが、120mの高さは下から見ていると案外高く、恐怖で船酔いどころではなかったです。笑
飛んでみると山と海の綺麗な景色に癒されました。船から写真を撮影してくださり、後から購入しました。(40ドル)あっという間でしたが、楽しい経験になりました。

When we arrived, it was raining, but by the time we had lunch, the weather cleared up, and the view was amazing! The two-hour buggy ride was quite long, and we got soaked in puddles multiple times! Haha, make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Haha.

But the scenery was so beautiful, it felt like a processed photo, and it was very soothing. They also provided explanations about the filming locations, and we stopped at photo spots to take pictures and have fun! I definitely want to participate again next time!

着いた時は雨が降っていたのですが、ランチしている間に天気が晴れてきて、最高の景色でした！2時間のバギーは結構長く、何度も水溜りでビチャビチャになりました！笑汚れてもいい服で行ってください！笑
でも景色は加工写真のように綺麗で癒されました。ロケ地の説明もして下さり、写真スポットで停車して写真撮影して楽しみました！ぜひまた次回も参加したいです！

Outstanding food and drink along with spectacular views of Waikiki at sunset. Service was great and the show was very upbeat and both entertaining and educational. Would do this dinner cruise on future visits. Easy to book, our bus driver was on time and educated us about different places along the way to the ship.
