Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations
Loved it! A bit of WW2 & Movie History with great scenic views.
Activity Date: 2023/04/30 | Posted on: 2023/05/20

I enjoy learning about WW2, so this was a nice tour for me. Seeing movie sites was super cool too. Our tour guide was great and very informative - but I'm sure this will be the luck of the draw for which guide you get.

I was looking forward to the heavenly sea, but unfortunately, it was rainy and a bit chilly, which was disappointing. However, the staff were friendly, and even though the water was murky, it was fun to dive and see the fish. I want to try again on a sunny day.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]
Glad we chose this luau
Activity Date: 2023/05/18 | Posted on: 2023/05/19
LJT

We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.

Activity Date: 2023/05/09 | Posted on: 2023/05/19

I went snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at a sandbar that I had always wanted to visit! First, I was picked up by a van from a nearby hotel for an extra fee, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the port. (There were about 15 people on board, and since I was the last to get on, that was about the time it took.)

When we arrived at the port, there were restrooms available, so I took care of that and signed some documents while receiving explanations. There were also restrooms on the boat, with two for women and one for men. There was one Japanese woman and a man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) on board.

Once on the boat, two men played guitar and ukulele to liven up the atmosphere! (When we returned to the boat during a break, they played music through the speakers, and I requested a song, which they played.)

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but because it was windy, it felt more like I was being swept away than paddling! However, when the wind died down, I was able to move forward, and it was fun! I had to paddle hard to stay behind the red buoy, but I wasn't making much progress, and seeing that, the man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) helped pull me along.

When we got close to the coral reef for snorkeling, the staff handed out what looked like French bread, and when I tore it apart in the water, a lot of fish came out to see it! There were also small, beautiful fish near the coral, but when I went to a spot near the boat that was about waist-high, I was able to see many large fish, almost a meter long! When I asked the staff, they said it was a white fish and that it would be delicious to eat.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I’ll look forward to that next time. I participated in early May, and when I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly. I regretted not bringing a change of clothes, just a bath towel, so it would have been nice to have something easy to put on, like a dress. The weather was good, and overall, it was a great tour!

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました!
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました!
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな?1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました!
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです!
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン?を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました!
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました!
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした!

クアロア・ランチ 乗馬体験(2時間) 映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫!<送迎付きプランあり>
Amazing views!
素晴らしい絶景!
Posted on: 2023/05/19

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, open, and incredibly fun. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that you can't have in Japan!

● Check-in and Preparation ●
Since we were traveling by rental car, we opted for a self-arranged course without transportation, which turned out to be a mistake as we got lost and arrived just in time. We checked in 20 minutes before the start instead of the recommended 45 minutes, and it was quite hectic. However, despite being late, they kindly accepted us, which was a relief. I regret not choosing the plan with transportation.

The check-in location is past the shop (there's a sign in Japanese), and you can check in by simply showing your passport and voucher, with almost no need for English. I went to check in while my companion took care of parking, and there was just a simple question about whether they were wearing proper shoes (not sandals). By the way, my companion didn’t need to show their passport.

We were instructed to leave our bags in a nearby coin locker (for a fee). A waist pouch was okay, but they provided a small bag to attach to the saddle while riding, so I felt we didn’t really need it. We left our bags in the trunk of the rental car.

When we arrived at the stable (which is diagonally across from the check-in location), we watched a 5-minute horseback riding instructional video (in Japanese), borrowed helmets and bags, and then we were off to ride.

On the way out, we mounted the horses using stairs, and on the way back, there were precautions to avoid stepping on feet when dismounting from the elevated area. In the group I joined, there were probably just two groups: a family from Korea and us, along with one guide, so it was quite a small group.

● Attire ●
Long pants and shoes that cover the toes, along with a rented helmet, are the minimum requirements for participation, which I felt was quite casual. Given the rugged mountain paths, it felt adventurous. In Japan, I think you would probably need specialized riding boots or protective vests. This lightness felt very much like being abroad!

However, for those with back or knee issues, it might be tough. Since we passed through areas with tall grass, wearing longer socks to cover the ankles would help avoid any irritation from the grass.

Perhaps because it was spring, the weather was unstable, alternating between sunny and rainy. The strong sunlight combined with light rain made a long-sleeved hoodie just right for both sun and cold protection.

● Scenery ●
The views were stunning. We could see majestic mountains and beautiful seas, which was very satisfying. Even if you’re not particularly interested in movie filming locations, I think you would still enjoy it. As a fan of the Jurassic Park series, I was thrilled to see the locations from the films.

Personally, I love plants, so it was fun to see rare mountain flora. It was interesting to see cacti growing wild.

● Guide ●
Since I don’t understand English well, I could only catch the movie titles and a few words (like right, left, stop), but there were signs and guides at the filming locations, so I was able to enjoy it to some extent. However, since you don’t dismount from the horse until you return, if you want to take close-up photos or be in pictures with the movie sets, I think another tour might be better. By the way, we passed buses and buggies while riding, so you might encounter other tours even if you sign up separately.

Also, the guide was friendly and responded with a smile when I awkwardly spoke to her in broken English about how many days I had been in Hawaii and how beautiful the ocean was. Still, I wish there had been a Japanese brochure available.

● Photography ●
In the initial instructional video, it was stated that video recording is prohibited but photos are allowed. You can take photos with either a smartphone or a camera. During the ride, the guide took individual photos of us with her smartphone, and we received the data f

とにかく絶景で開放的でとても楽しく、日本ではできない乗馬体験で素晴らしかったです!
●チェックインと準備●
 レンタカーでの行動だったため、送迎なしの現地集合解散コースにしましたが、これが失敗で迷ってしまいかなりギリギリについてしまいました。45分前のところ、20分前にチェックイン、10分前に集合とバタバタでした。
 しかし、遅れてしまったものの幸いにも受け入れてくださり、ほっとしました。大人しく送迎ありのプランを申し込めばよかったなと反省しています。
 チェックイン場所は売店を抜けた先にあり(日本語立て看板あり)、パスポートとバウチャーの提示のみでチェックインでき、英語はほぼ不要でした。同行者に駐車を任せ、私のみがチェックインに向かったため、同行者は靴を履いているか(サンダル等ではないか)という簡単な質問があった程度です。ちなみに同行者のパスポート提示は不要でした。
 荷物は近くにあるコインロッカー(有料)に置くように指示されます。ウエストポーチはOKでしたが、馬に乗るとき鞍に取り付ける小物入れを貸してくれるのでいらなかったなと思います。私たちはレンタカーのトランクに荷物を置きました。
 出発場所の馬小屋(チェックインの場所の斜め向かいくらい)に行くと、5分程度の乗馬の説明ビデオ(日本語)を見て、ヘルメットと小物入れの袋借りてさっそく乗馬です。
 行きは柵の奥にいる馬に階段を使って跨がり、帰りも高台の上に降りるので足を踏まれないよう工夫されてるなぁと感じました。
 私が参加した回は、おそらく韓国の家族の方と私たちの2グループで、そこにガイドスタッフさん1名でしたので、かなり少人数でした。
●服装●
 長ズボンと爪先がカバーされている靴、そしてレンタルヘルメットが参加の条件ですが、本当に最低限の軽装だなぁと感じました。結構な山道にこの服装なので冒険感がすごいです。日本だと多分乗馬用安全靴とかプロテクトベストみたいなものを着なきゃダメな気がします。この身軽さが海外~!という感じでした。
 でも腰や膝に持病がある方はしんどいかも。結構草丈がある場所も通るので長めの靴下でくるぶしもカバーした方が草まけの心配がないかと思います。
 春だからなのかわかりませんが、晴れたり雨が降ったりと不安定な天気で、日差しが強い上に小雨にも降られたので、日焼け対策としても寒さ対策としても長袖パーカーでちょうどよかったなと思いました。
●風景●
 素晴らしい絶景でした。雄大な山も美しい海も見られて大満足です。映画のロケ地にそれほど興味がなくても満足できるのではないでしょうか。ジュラシックパークシリーズが好きなので、映画のシーンの場所が見られて感動しました。
 個人的には植物が好きなので珍しい山の植物が見られるのも楽しかったです。サボテンが野生で生えているのが面白かったです。
●ガイド●
 英語がわからないので正直映画のタイトルと単語(右とか左とかストップとか)くらいしか聞き取れませんでしたが、映画のロケ地には看板や案内があるのでそれなりに楽しめました。
 ただ、乗馬コースでは帰ってくるまで馬から降りることはないので、近くでじっくり写真を撮りたかったり、映画のセットと一緒に写りたかったりするなら他のツアーの方がいいと思われます。ちなみに乗馬中にバスやバギーとすれ違ったので別々のツアーに申し込んでも途中で出会うのかもしれません。
 また、ガイドのお姉さんはフレンドリーな方で、ハワイに来て何日目だ海が綺麗だ等カタコトへっぽこ英語で話しかけても笑顔で答えてくださいました。
 でもやっぱり日本語のパンフレットでもあればなぁとは思いました。
●写真撮影●
 最初の説明ビデオで動画撮影は禁止で写真はOKと案内があります。写真ならスマホでもカメラでもいいようです。途中、ガイドスタッフさんが、乗馬の様子をご自身のスマホで一人一人撮影してくださり、終わったあとデータが無料でもらえます。ただ、iPhoneのAirDrop機能を利用してデータ送信してもらったのでAndroidだともらえないかも……。
 印刷された写真は売店前に写真販売コーナーがありそこで自分の写真を勧められます。買わなかったので覚えてないですが多分$15~$20くらいだったような。この辺は日本のテーマパークと同じスタイルだなぁと感じました。
●馬たち●
 よく訓練されていて道も覚えているようでさっさと進んでいきます。こんな軽装で馬に乗って本当に大丈夫かな?と思っていましたが、大人しいしかわいいしそんな不安は途中から忘れていました。
 ちなみに馬は全員男の子だそうで、私が乗った馬はギリアン(と聞こえました)君でした。
 機会があったらぜひまた乗りたいです。

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I took anti-nausea medication in advance, but I still got sick. However, the scenery was breathtaking, and I had a wonderful experience! During the parasailing, I felt no fear at all and was able to take pictures of the view with my iPhone.

Four groups ride the same boat out to the ocean and take turns jumping in, but the waiting time is also filled with fun moments with people from various countries. Moreover, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean is breathtaking! The time spent flying went by in an instant, but the stable flight in the air and the playful spirit when coming down are full of enjoyment.

4組が同じボートに乗って沖まで行き順番に飛んでいくのですが、待っている時間も色々な国の方達と楽しい時間。更に沖から見渡すワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景!

Kualoa Ranch Horseback Riding & Jurassic Valley Movie Sites Tour
My horse was so aggressive
Activity Date: 2023/05/11 | Posted on: 2023/05/17

This tour was very exciting.

My sister has done her first time horse riding.
She said the tour guide was so kind and her horse was so gentle and cute.

Mine was so aggressive and also was not good match with the guide horse.
I had to worried about my horse and the guide horse were not very close.
One time, my horse kicked the guide horse. It was sorry and a bit scary.

But the tour was so fun. My sister and me had a great time.

Next time, I want to try again but also try to run a bit with horse.
Because, my horse walked so fast. I think he wanted to run a bit.
One day, you guys would make the tour for the horse riding tour for experienced people.
If you guys would have that tour already, I would like to try next time.

We were so happy and excited to join this tour.
Guides were nice and funny, a lot of joking. Lol

One thing, we did this tour from 8am, check in time was 7:15 but the check in counter didn’t open when we arrived at 7:15. It was opened at 7:30.
So the most earliest tour should be noticed to show up at check in counter at 7:30.

Thank you so much for experience this tour. I will recommend my friends and also I will join another tour when I would come back to Hawaii.

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>
The sunlight is intense, but it's cold due to the strong wind!
日差しは強烈なのに強風で寒い!
Posted on: 2023/05/17

I had a great time, so I don't have any regrets, but honestly, my overall experience didn't quite meet my expectations.

■ Weather, Timing, and Temperature
It was a sunny day in early April, but the wind was incredibly strong and cold. My hat without a chin strap flew away, and I had to give up eating my hamburger on deck because the vegetables kept blowing away. There were people in bikinis, but the sunlight was stronger than a typical summer day in Japan, so I think wearing a long-sleeve rash guard and long leggings while swimming is a safer choice. After getting out of the water, it was essential to have a long-sleeve cover-up or a large bath towel to wrap around me. It was just so cold.

■ About the Sandbar
I checked the tide chart and confirmed it was low tide before participating. However, the water was still up to my ankles, so it felt more like a shallow area than an island. The boat stopped in water about thigh-deep, and everyone was saying, "It's so cold!" as they disembarked. The shallow areas were warmed by the sun and felt somewhat like a hot spring, but it was still too cold for many to swim. The beach volleyball set up by the staff was somewhat lively, but it seemed difficult to play because of the wind. There might not have been any Japanese participants. It was nice to take photos against the backdrop of the majestic mountains and scenery like Kualoa. However, it's worth noting that the strong sea breeze made it impossible to expect a reflection of the sky like in the Salar de Uyuni. The sandbar is made up of broken coral, and while it was enjoyable to look at the coral fragments scattered around, walking barefoot was painful (the local staff were barefoot, but I couldn't imitate them). There was a warning that many people drop their accessories, so it's better not to wear them at all. I brought an underwater camera, but I felt that a smartphone in a waterproof case was sufficient for the sandbar. Personally, I preferred the "Phantom Island" tour in Ishigaki Island, which, although domestic, had a similar atmosphere and was an actual "island" without the cold.

■ Turtle Watching from the Boat
You can watch turtles taking breaths in the shallow coral reefs from the boat. There were quite a few, and they came close to the boat, allowing for good photos with a smartphone. The turtles were adorable as they opened their mouths to breathe.

■ BBQ on the Boat
You can enjoy hamburgers grilled on the boat. The well-cooked patties were crispy and delicious. There were also side dishes like boiled beans and fruits. Two types of small chips (Doritos and Lay's) were provided, and I took a bag home as a souvenir, which was appreciated. However, as mentioned earlier, it was challenging to eat on the deck due to the strong wind.

■ Snorkeling
Snorkeling takes place in the shallow areas around the coral reefs. You can choose from three types of equipment: life jackets, fins, and floats, depending on your skill level. For those who are not confident in swimming, having all three options is reassuring. I felt that a life jacket was essential for warmth as well. Once the boat is anchored, a staircase to the sea is lowered in the middle of the deck, so you can get into the water immediately. It was announced that those confident in swimming could jump in from another spot, but no one attempted it. Once in the water, I surprisingly got used to the cold, but my hands and feet started to feel numb from being in the water for too long, and it was still cold. It was said that turtles sometimes hide in the gaps of the coral, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any that day. There were a fair number of tropical fish, but it felt a bit lacking. By the way, if you save some of the buns from the BBQ or bring back leftovers, the tropical fish will come to eat them, which I recommend. It took a fair amount of time to get everyone suited up and into the water, which might have contributed to the snorkeling time feeling a bit short. It was al

楽しかったので後悔はありませんが、全体を通して期待以上ではなかったなぁというのが正直な感想です。

■天候・時期・気温
 4月上旬の晴れの日でしたが、風がとんでもなく強くて寒かったです。あごひものない帽子はとんでいく、ハンバーガーは野菜が吹き飛ばされるので甲板で食べるのは諦めたほどです。
 ビキニの方もいましたが、日差しは日本の真夏以上に強いので、泳ぐときも長袖ラッシュガード長丈のレギンスが無難かなぁと思います。
 また水からあがったあとは上から羽織れる長袖や毛布代わりになる大きなバスタオルは必須でした。とにかく寒いです。

■サンドバーについて
 潮見表で干潮であることを確認して参加しました。
しかしくるぶしまでは水あったので、やはり島というよりは浅瀬ですね。
 船は太もも丈くらいの水深に止まるので、みんな冷た~い!といいながら上陸していました。
 浅瀬は日で暖められて温泉っぽくなっている部分もありますが、後が寒いのであまり泳ぐ方はいませんでした。
 スタッフさんが設置してくれるビーチバレーはそこそこ盛り上がっていましたが、やはり風で流されるのでやりにくそうでした。日本人は参加していなかったかも。
 クアロアなど雄大な山や風景を背に写真を撮れるのでそれは開放的で良かったです。ちなみに当たり前ですが海風が激しいのでウユニ塩湖のような空が写る水面は全く期待できません。
 サンドバーは珊瑚がくだけてできた洲で、珊瑚のかけらがたくさん落ちており眺めるのは楽しいですが、裸足で歩くのは痛いです(現地のスタッフさんはバリバリ裸足でしたが真似はできませんでした(^-^;))。
 アクセサリーを落とす人が多いと案内があったので、そもそも身につけないほうがよいでしょう。
 水中カメラを持っていきましたが、サンドバーに関しては防水カバーにいれたスマホで十分間に合ったなと感じました。
 個人的には石垣島の幻の島ツアーの方が国内だけど似た雰囲気でちゃんと“島”だし寒くなかったので、そちらの方が好きでした。

■船上からのウミガメウォッチング
 珊瑚礁の浅瀬で息継ぎをするウミガメを船上から眺められます。結構な数が見られ、船のすぐ近くにも来てくれてスマホでも十分写真が取れました。
 カプッと口をあけて息継ぎするウミガメはかわいかったです。

■船上BBQ
 船の上で焼いたハンバーガーを食べることができます。しっかり焼かれたハンバーグはカリッと香ばしくておいしかったです。サイドメニューに煮豆や果物などもありました。小さいサイズのチップスも2種類用意してあり(Doritosとレイズでした)一袋はお土産に持ち帰りました。ありがたかったです。
 ただ、前述の通り風が強くて甲板では食べるのはハードモードでした。

■シュノーケリング
 珊瑚礁の塊の周りの浅瀬でシュノーケリングです。
ライフジャケット、足ヒレ、フロート(棒状の浮き)の
3種類を個人の技量にあわせて選べます。泳ぎに自信のない方は3種類ある方が安心でしょう。
 私は寒さ対策的な意味でもライフジャケット必須だと感じました。
 珊瑚礁に船が固定されると甲板の真ん中に海への階段が降ろされるので、降りたら即海です。自信のある方は別の場所から飛び込んでもいいと案内がありましたが誰もチャレンジはしていませんでした笑
 入ってしまえば案外寒さには慣れましたが、長く水に浸かっている手足がかじかんでくる感覚がありやはり寒かったです。
 珊瑚礁の隙間にウミガメが隠れていることがあるとのことでしたが、この日は残念ながら出会えませんでした。熱帯魚はそれなりにいましたがちょっと物足りなかったです。
 ちなみにBBQの時のバンズを残しておくか、あまりがあれば少しもらってくると熱帯魚が食べに来るのでおすすめです。
 装備を着用して順番に海におりるまでそれなりの時間がかかるためシュノーケリングの時間が少し短かったのも物足りない要因のひとつだったかなと思います。狭いエリアに人が密集するので泳ぎにくさも感じました。
 シュノーケリング後に暖かいコーヒーや紅茶を出してもらえてありがたかったです。

■その他全体
 送迎バスは現地の方のようで、名簿の名前を呼ばれる以外は日本語の説明はありません。
 船上では日本語のスタッフさんがついてくれて、しっかりと説明をしてくれるので安心でした。最初に英語の人は甲板に、日本語の人は船内に、といったように場所移動をアナウンスしてくれるので遠すぎて聞き取れないといったこともないので安心です。
 映画のロケ地などの説明もしてくださって楽しかったです。
 BBQも含め、スタッフの方のサービスレベルはかなり高いと思います。

The staff was friendly, but all the information was provided in English.

First, I had no idea where to wait for the shuttle bus pickup, both going and returning. I ended up sharing information with other Japanese guests and just felt anxious.

After arriving, the explanations for the various activities on the ranch were only in English. I couldn't understand anything, and I only had a vague idea of where to gather. I almost missed out on some activities.

Driving the buggy was fun, but the explanations about the filming locations or Hawaii? Every time we stopped, there was about a 10-minute talk, but I couldn't understand anything and just stood there confused. We didn't get to see much of the filming locations either, so I think those who want to visit the filming sites should skip this tour.

Additionally, the helmets and goggles provided were wet and muddy, which was very unpleasant. Even before doing anything, just putting them on made me covered in mud.

The seat belts and seats of the buggy were also dirty, and my clothes got soiled that I had to buy a change of clothes. I recommend wearing clothes and shoes that are dark and can be thrown away.

Also, while driving the buggy, you inhale a lot of sand. They give you something like a bandana to protect yourself, but it doesn't help at all. I recommend bringing a mask to wear. Your throat might start to hurt. I was still spitting out dirt from my mouth, nose, and ears for a while.

If you don't have a strong desire to ride the buggy, even if you can't speak English or get muddy, the price is high, and the access from Waikiki takes time (we got stuck in traffic both ways), so satisfaction will be difficult.

Since it was our honeymoon, I wish we had chosen a different activity.

スタッフさんの愛想はよかったでしたが、
全て、英語での案内でした。

まず送迎バスのピックアップ場所が、行きも帰りもイマイチどこで待ったら良いのか分からず、他の日本人の方と情報共有をし、ただただ焦りました。

到着後も、牧場内でするそれぞれのアクティビティについて英語のみでの説明。
全く分からず、集合場所もなんとなくでしか分からず。
間に合わないところでした。

バギーの運転自体は楽しかったのですが、
ロケ地の説明?やハワイの説明?
停車する毎に10分くらい都度ありましたが、
全く何を言っているのか分からず、ただただ棒立ちです。
ロケ地自体も、そんなに見られたわけでもなく、
ロケ地に行きたい方は、このツアーはやめた方がいいかと思います。

加えて、
貸していただけるヘルメットやゴーグルが、
濡れていたりドロドロで、
非常に気持ちが悪かったです。
まだ何もしていないのに、装着するだけで、
泥まみれになりました。

バギーのシートベルトやシートも、
土で汚れており、服が汚れ着て帰られず、
替えの服を購入せざるを得なかったです。
黒系の汚れが目立たない、捨てても良い服、靴で行くことをおすすめします。

また、バギー走行中、大量の砂を吸い込みます。
ガードするバンダナ?みたいなものをもらいますが、全く効果ありません。
マスクを持参して着用をお勧めします。
喉が痛くなりそうです。
いつまで口と鼻と耳から土が出てきます。

英語が出来てなくても、どろんこになっても、バギーにどうしても乗りたい!
と言う気持ちが参加者全員になければ、料金も高いですし、
ワイキキからのアクセスも時間がかかるので(行きも帰りも渋滞にハマりました)、満足は難しいです。

せっかくハネムーンだったので、
ほかのアクティビティを選択したらよかったです。

海釣り体験 ワイキキで釣りもクルーズも楽しめる!小さなお子様も参加可能 釣り用具付き<混載または貸切/3~4時間/ケワロ湾集合>
If you think of it as cruising, it's quite enjoyable.
クルージングと思えば十分満喫です。

Although it was disappointing that we didn't catch any fish, the captain was quick to assist when we had trouble handling the fishing gear. We moved to three different spots, and we only had about an hour and a half of fishing time. The captain cooked the fish caught by others on board and served it as fried fish for us to enjoy while returning to the harbor. There was a large shark swimming near the boat, and we were able to see it up close, along with the sight of sea turtles swimming. The scenery was fantastic, making it a great experience for cruising and sightseeing.

釣りは何も釣れずに残念でしたが、釣り具の扱いに困った時には船長さんがすぐフォローしてくれました。
3ヶ所ポイント移動して、釣りの時間は1時間半程度しかありませんでした。
他の方が釣れた魚を船長が船上で調理してフライドフィッシュとして釣り場から帰港するまでの間に食べさせてくれました。
船の近くで大きな鮫がウロウロしており、間近に見れて、海亀の泳ぐ姿が見られたり、景色も最高でクルージングや観光としては十分楽しめました。

Waikiki Sunset Canoe Sail with Hawaiian Dinner & Culture Activities - Kamoauli
Wonderful

Our family -seniors and adult children-were delighted with the sunset sail. It was the best thing I did in Oahu. We learned about Hawaiian values, the significance of the leis, danced some hula steps, and the men pounded taro. It was fun, staff was excellent, and we ended with a chant to the sunset. Everyone was so glad we did this. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the sandbar, the music, the crew, the ambiance, everything except the snorkeling - tide too low - did not need the mask (which was leaking anyway) to see the fishes. Loved everything else.
