The clear weather quickly turned, and as soon as we got on the buggy, it started to rain. When I looked back, the two guides were fully prepared, as if they had expected it. Almost everyone was soaked through to their underwear from the heavy rain. There was no time to enjoy the scenery at all. After the activity ended, we had about ten minutes until the shuttle bus arrived. There wasn't enough room to get on, and even if we did, there were no seats available. The return bus only comes once at 1:30, which is far too infrequent. I missed the rain gear at the vending machine at the reception.

快晴から一転、バギーに乗ってすぐに雨が降り出しました。振り返るとガイドの二人は予期していたのか完全防備。ほぼ全員、下着までずぶ濡れになる程の激しい雨。景色を見る余裕は全くなかった。アクティビティ終了後、10分程で送迎のバス時間。乗れないし、乗っても座れない。帰りのバスは1時半に1本で少なすぎる。受付の自販機で雨具は見逃す。

2 thumbs up. Crew was knowledgeable and made it a fun day.

We set off on a boat with a handsome older brother! The weather was perfect with not much wind, and we were first in line. Although I was a bit nervous at the start, once we reached 150 meters, the breeze felt amazing, and we had a great view of Waikiki. We enjoyed a quick rendezvous!

イケメンのお兄さんと一緒にボートで出発❗️天気は最高で風はそれ程なく、順番は一番。上がり始めはドキドキしたものの、１５０メートルに到達すると、めっちゃ気持ちいい風の中、ワイキキを一望。あっという間のランデブーを楽しめました。

We had a great time driving the atv and my husband did nothing but splash in the puddles. The picture stops were beautiful and very informative. Vernon and Matt were wonderful tour guides!

We arrived at the requested 8:45 am check in, but at 9:30 the shuttle showed up with the remaining tour guests? Then we had to move to accommodate a larger party. The musical entertainment and staff were marvelous and of course feeding the fish was awesome overall pretty cool, next time we'll kayak un ourselves

My family and I had a great time out at the Sandbar. We have never snorkeled or been on a paddle boat. The crew was super helpful and made us feel very comfortable that at the end of the day we were all pretty good on SUP boards. The live music was awesome. Would definitely recommended to family and friends.

The sandbar was cloudy with occasional showers, making it not very beautiful, and it was cold with rainy weather. The snorkeling was a bit murky, and I didn't see many fish. The sixth day had bad weather, which was a bit disappointing, but the crew did their best to keep us entertained.

サンドバーも曇り時々シャワーであまりきれい見えず、寒くて雨模様。スノーケリングも少し濁りがあり余り魚に会えなかった。6日目が悪天候、少し残念ですがクルーの方は、一生懸命楽しませてくれました。

We participated with children. The explanations were in English, and we were able to see many fish. We also saw turtles, and the kids were very happy. Please be careful near the seats by the stairs for getting on and off the submarine, as seawater may fall there when disembarking.

子供連れで参加しました。解説は英語ですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。カメも見ることができ、子供たちは大喜びでした。潜水艦の登り降りする階段付近の席は、下船時に海水が落ちてくるのでご注意下さい。

You can only go to the sandbar if you join the tour, and there are no tours on Sundays, so my husband, who works on weekdays, couldn't join and I went alone. (By the way, most of the others were couples, so it felt a bit lonely!)

However, on the day of the tour, it was drizzling and overcast from the morning. The scenery was far from what you see in the photos; everything was gray. There's nothing you can do about the weather, so I suppose we can only hope for good weather.

Even though I participated alone, I was able to get explanations and practice for snorkeling at the sandbar. They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so even if your English isn't great, you can feel at ease.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious on the boat. The snorkeling in the second half wasn't very clear due to the bad weather, but I did see some fish.

However, it was really cold after getting out, and I was shivering. I had hot cocoa on the boat, but it didn't warm me up much. On the bus ride back, I was still in my wet swimsuit with just a cover-up, and the bus air conditioning was quite strong, making me shiver even more...

I recommend that participants try to take off as much wet clothing as possible and wear more layers for the return trip!

ツアーに参加しないとサンドバーまで行けないということと日曜日はツアーはないということで、平日は仕事だった主人は参加できず1人で参加しました。(ちなみに他のみなさんはカップルが多くてちょっと寂しい〜！)
しかし当日は朝からずっと霧雨の曇天。
写真のような景色とは程遠く、全部グレーでした。天候に左右されるのは致し方ないですから、こればかりは良い天気を祈るしかないかと思います。
1人参加でしたがサンドバーの時にシュノーケリングの説明と練習をさせてもらえます。英語での説明と日本語での説明をして下さるので英語がイマイチでも安心です。
ランチのハンバーガーは船上でとても美味しくいただきました。
後半のシュノーケリングも天候が悪かったので視界はあまり良くありませんでしたがお魚見えました。

ただ、とにかく上がった後寒くて寒くてガタガタ震えてしまいました。船上で熱いココアをいただきましたがなかなか温まらず。帰りのバスも濡れた水着を着たまま上に羽織って帰るのですが、これまたバスのエアコンがよくきいていてブルブル…。
参加される方は濡れたものは出来るだけ脱いで、行きよりたくさん着て帰れるようにすることをオススメします！

We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!

We had a great hike with our tour guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was passionate about what he does and made a great day for us. The hike was just challenging enough without being too difficult. The lunch provided was great too. We didn't know what to expect going into this but had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to see a part of the island that we never would have seen otherwise.

try to go on rainy days.
The ride gets you so much dust that your nose will be filled up with dust for days.

Great time 1st trip on a fishing boat with kids. Meeting many wonderful patron on the ship along with the boat captain. Our kids managed to catches the first fish during our boat trip. Definitely would plan to come back next month. Hopefully this time our boat can catch more fishes comparing to last trip. It's wasn't that much fishes floating somehow but overall still an awesome journey with kids and family's. Scenic of Waikiki is unbelievable along many Dolphin jumping and boiling on the surface of the sunrise calm Aquatic blue ocean.

Horseback riding while enjoying the magnificent scenery is exceptional. There were muddy paths, rocky roads, and slopes, which added to the adventurous feeling. After riding for nearly two hours, you can also get to know the personalities of the horses. The staff, although speaking broken Japanese, guide you kindly and attentively.

雄大な景色を見ながらの乗馬は格別です。ぬかるだ道や岩がゴロゴロした道、坂道等ありアドベンチャー気分も味わえました。2時間近く乗っているので、馬の個性もわかります。スタッフの方は、片言の日本語ですが、丁寧に優しく誘導してくれます。

Veltra made booking an outrigger canoe surfing activity so easy! I highly recommend using Veltra! Great price for one of our favorite activities when we were in Honolulu! We’ll definitely book with Veltra again! Mahalo!

Beautiful views, super fun ride. Dress for possibility to get dirty! Awesome day.

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!

Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.

This is definitely to be done again! Was an amazing experience

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

We went on the raptor ATV tour. Amazing experience. The ability the see the majestic beauty of the island up close was so memorable! Our guides were so friendly and funny and made the tour even more amazing. This was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. Highly recommend.

This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!

Mahalo nui loa!

Great Morning Out, was the only package on the Island (I checked with tonnes of tour guides out there) that offered Transport to the North Shore and Time in the town up there.
100% recommend, Get out of Waikiki and see the island and some Sharks. We also saw Dolphins and Wales but didn't get a refund for that.

This is one of the best days out we had on the island.
Blane the ATV guide was great, really looked after us, kept us moving at a great pace.
The two girls who took us on the Zipline were amazing, very confident and kept everyone calm.
Was a Great Day out, would highly recommend.

It was an event affected by the weather, and the first day was canceled due to wind. We rescheduled and successfully went ahead two days later. We departed from the yacht harbor in front of the Hilton Hotel, with three groups together. After putting on our gear, we were in the air in no time. It was an indescribable feeling, flying while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. It was wonderful! When returning to the boat, I landed in the water with only my lower body, but I made it back safely.

天候に左右されるイベントで、初日は風で中止。予約し直し、２日後に無事決行でした。ヒルトンホテルの前のヨットハーバーから出発、3組一緒。道具を装着して、あっと言う間に空中へ。何とも言えない感覚、ダイアモンドヘッド、ワイキキを見ながらの飛行。素晴らしい！船に戻る時に下半身のみ着水、無事戻りました。

It was a breathtaking view!

I flew up to the highest point, but the wind was strong, and I was scared, so I couldn't let go.

The boat also swayed quite a bit. Those who get motion sickness might experience seasickness.

絶景でした！

1番高いところまで飛んでみましたが、風が強くて、怖くて手が離せずでした。

船もまぁまぁ揺れました。乗り物酔いする方は船酔いするかも。

Despite the rain, horseback riding was great. Transportation schedule meant an unreasonable amount of waiting around for pick-up and return.

It was a great experience. The staff are friendly and helpful. The music was great.

It was my first time horseback riding, and we set off with just a brief explanation. I was a bit worried, but the horse was smart and seemed to take me along as long as I relaxed.
The scenery was amazing!
At one point, the horse started eating grass and drinking from the river. It was a wonderfully enjoyable time.

初めての乗馬で、サッパリとした説明だけで出発。大丈夫かな？と少し心配でしたが、馬が賢くて、身を任せていれば連れて行ってくれる感じでした。
景色は最高!
途中で馬が草を食べ始めたり、川の水を飲み始めたり。なんだか、ほのぼの楽しい時間が過ごせました。

There is a Japanese explanatory video on how to handle horses, and the staff gives instructions in simple Japanese, so even though it was an English guide, I felt more at ease and enjoyed it more than I had imagined. It's not often that you get to experience riding a horse by yourself, and it was great to enjoy that in the majestic nature of Kualoa Ranch. The two-hour horseback riding was a bit painful for beginners.

馬の扱い方については日本語の説明動画があり、スタッフさんも簡単な日本語で指示をしてくれるため、英語のガイドではありますが想像していたよりは安心して楽しめました。
自分自身で馬を操る体験はなかなかできないですし、それを雄大な自然が感じられるクアロア牧場で楽しめたのは良かったです。
2時間の乗馬は初心者には少しおしりが痛くなりました。
