This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.

I have traveled to Hawaii about 20 times, including long stays, and this is my first visit in four years. I considered taking a bus or renting a car to get to Manoa, but since it was my first time in the area and I wanted to learn about the local plants, I decided to join this tour.

On the day of the tour, there were about four groups of Japanese participants and around four to five groups from English-speaking countries (the mainland, Australia, Italy). Our tour guide, Kanako, attended to everyone using both English and Japanese. I imagine she must have been quite tired from speaking both languages the whole time, but she was always smiling and considerate of everyone, truly a wonderful person.

Kanako's friendly approach made the bus ride and our exploration enjoyable, regardless of nationality. I participated alone, but I had the chance to chat, take photos, and exchange contact information with a woman who was also traveling solo from the mainland, which gave me a sense of the overseas travel experience I had missed. Thank you!

When we left Waikiki, the weather was quite overcast, and I wondered what it would be like in Manoa, but fortunately, it didn't rain during our exploration. We enjoyed the great outdoors while being careful of our footing. Along the way, we heard various stories, and I realized that the information shared during the tour was something I wouldn't have easily obtained on my own, making my decision to join the tour the right one.

After our exploration, we were served sandwiches from Andy's, a three-generation establishment in Manoa, along with water at Tantalus National Park. (The sandwiches here are incredibly filling; I was full after just half and took the rest home. The taste was excellent too, with a delightful sweetness in the bread!) Since it had rained, we ate together under a pavilion. Normally, we could have enjoyed our meal on the grass, further immersing ourselves in nature. After eating, we moved to a spot where we could see Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the airport for photos. Initially, clouds obscured our view of Diamond Head, but the weather changed suddenly, and by the end, we could see a bit of blue sky. I thought it was a miracle.

I usually participate in tours that are exclusively in Japanese, so I found this mixed tour to be a wonderful opportunity to communicate with people from overseas. I believe travel companies should actively promote mixed tours.

At the end, we all hugged goodbye. Although it was a short time, it was a very meaningful experience during my brief stay in Hawaii.

Thank you so much, Kanako! See you again!

ハワイへはロングステイもしたり２０回程度は渡航しています。そして4年ぶりのハワイです。マノアへはバスやレンタカーを使っていくことも考えましたが初めての土地とそれから現地の植物等の情報も知りたかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は日本人（日本語）のグループが４組程度，英語グループ（メインランドやオーストラリア，イタリア）からの参加が4組~5組程度でツアーガイドのKANAKOさんが英語と日本語両方を使って参加者の方々をアテンドしてくださいました。
英語と日本語でずっと話していたのでいつもよりきっと疲れたと思いますがいつもニコニコしていてずっとみんなを気遣っていて本当に素晴らしい方です。

KANAKOさんの対応がフレンドリーでバスの中や現地での散策が国籍問わず一体となって楽しく移動できました。私はひとりで参加しましたが本土からひとりで参加していた女性の方と一緒にお話しして写真を撮ったりメアドを交換したりと久しぶりに海外旅行にきた感触を得ることができました。ありがとうございます。

当日はワイキキを出たときはかなりどんより曇っていてマノアではどうなることかと思いましたが，散策途中は雨は降らず足元に気を付けながら大自然を満喫してきました。途中でいろいろなエピソード等も伺いやはり自分ひとりではなかなか得られない情報だったと思いツアー参加は正解でした。

散策終わるとマノアで３世代続くアンディーズのサンドウィッチとお水がタンタラス国立公園で渡されました。（ここのサンドウィッチはものすごくボリューミーで私は半分だけでお腹いっぱいになり持ち帰りました。そして味も最高。パン生地に甘味があって美味しい！！と思いました）
雨の後だったので東屋のようなところでみんなで食べました。いつもなら芝の上等で自然をさらに満喫しながら食べられたと思います。食後は公園内のダイヤモンドヘッド~ワイキキ~空港までが見渡せる場所へ移動し写真撮影しました。写真撮影の最初は雲がかかってしまっていてダイヤモンドヘッドも見えない状況だったのですが途中から天気が急変して最後はすこしだけ青空が見えました。奇跡だと思います。

私は普段日本語（日本人）だけのツアーを当たり前のように参加します。今回このように混在したツアーは海外に来て海外の方とコミュニケーションをとるすばらしい機会だと思いました。積極的に旅行会社も混在ツアーをアピールしてよいのではないかと思います。

最後はみんなお別れする時はハグしてお別れしました。とても短い時間でしたが短いハワイ滞在の中でとても有意義な時間となりました。

KANAKOさんほんとにありがとうございました♡またね！！

Loved everything about it!
Crew is super chill and personable. Burgers were good - came with chips and a drink.
We had plenty of time to explore the sand bar and snorkel. Crew was comforting, the whole experience was super chill.

I participated in the zip line activity. I was disappointed that the voucher mentioned a Japanese explanation guide for the zip line, but it wasn't available. The instructor cheerfully explained everything using a mix of English and gestures, so I had no trouble understanding how to use the zip line. The zip line itself was exhilarating and a lot of fun! If I had to say something, I wish it had been a bit longer, and I was disappointed that I couldn't get good photos while flying on the zip line. Since you can only bring your phone during the zip line, it would be convenient to have an accessory to hang your phone around your neck. Also, I strongly recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket because it gets quite cold at night.

ジップライン参加。バウチャーにはジップラインについての日本語説明ガイドがあるとのことだったがなかったのが残念でした。
インストラクターさんは英語とジェスチャーを混じえて陽気に説明して下さったのでジップラインのやり方等は困らなかったです。
ジップライン自体は爽快でとても楽しかったです！
強いて言うならもう少し長いがほしかったのと
ジップラインをとんでる時の写真が上手く撮れなかったのが残念です。
ジップライン中はケータイなどしかもっていけないため、ケータイを首にかけるアクセサリー等あれば便利です。また、夜はかなり寒いので長袖の羽織をもっていくことを強くオススメします。

I have been visiting Hawaii for over twenty years, and I thought I should participate in a sandbar experience at least once. In November, the sandbar is not visible at all (to be precise, you can only see a slight difference in color indicating shallow or deep water from the boat). The water level reaches up to my neck at 162 cm tall. The shallow period, where the water is only ankle-deep, is said to be in the summer.

Additionally, due to somewhat cloudy weather and strong winds, it was quite cold, and it didn't feel enjoyable. *The shuttle vehicle is refrigerator-level cold, so a jacket is essential.* The snorkeling was quite ordinary... there was no mention of sea turtles. I highly recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay instead.

The areas for activities like snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking are limited (not very wide), so you end up turning back shortly after you start paddling. The trip from the port is quick, with Hawaiian music playing for 2-3 songs on the way there, and on the return trip, it turned into a lively dance party for foreigners.

In terms of facilities and services, there are two women's restrooms and one men's restroom on board. There are unlimited donuts (two types), water, lemonade, tea bags, and hot water available. The donuts are delicious. There were two kind staff members who spoke a little Japanese (Kansai dialect). This staff member goes around the tables explaining things for Japanese participants.

I recommend participating during the summer season, but overall, considering the price, it felt like a 360-degree beach experience.

ハワイに通い続けて二十数年、一度くらいサンドバーに行っておこうと思い参加しました。
11月のこの時季、砂州は全く見えません。（正しくは、船から見て浅いか深いかの色の違い程度）
水位は私の身長162cmだと首くらいまであります。
足首程度の浅い時期は夏だそうです。
また、多少天気（雲多め）のせいもありましたが、風も強くてとにかく寒く楽しむって感じではありませんでした。
※送迎の車内は冷蔵庫レベルなので、上着が必須です。
シュノーケリングもごく普通...ウミガメなんて話にも出てきません。
ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングする方が、圧倒的におすすめです。
シュノーケリング含めSUPやカヤックも遊べる範囲が限られている（それほど広くない）ので、漕いだらすぐに折り返すって感じです。
港からはあっという間なので、往路はハワイアンミュージック２～３曲で到着、復路はノリのいい外国人向けのダンスパーティー場と化しました。
設備やサービスとして、船内にはトイレは女性用×２、男性用×１あります。
ドーナツ（２種類）と水、レモネード、ティーバッグ＋お湯が食べ放題、飲み放題です。
ドーナツは美味しいです。
少しですが日本語（関西弁）を話す親切なスタッフが２人居ました。
説明などは、このスタッフが日本人向けにテーブルを回り説明してくれます。
参加するならサマーシーズンおすすめしますが、全体的にはお値段を考えると360度のビーチってレベルでした。

We headed to the hotel in Waikiki by taxi and arrived in about 30 minutes! This time, we booked three activities, but parasailing was canceled due to strong winds. It was disappointing, but I think it was good that they considered safety and offered a refund! On the way back, the staff called a taxi for us, and they were very kind!

ワイキキにホテルがあるため、タクシーで向かいました！30分くらいでつきました！今回3つのアクティビティを予約しましたが、強風のためパラセーリングは中止となりました。残念ではありましたが、返金もあり安全を考慮してもらえたのでよかったと思います！帰りもタクシーを呼んでくださって、店員さんが親切でした！

Riding through the great outdoors on a bicycle was a fresh and enjoyable experience! The mountain bike felt a bit wobbly on the bumpy roads, but once you get used to it, I think even beginners can feel at ease! Anyway, being able to see the beautiful nature and take plenty of photos made for a very satisfying tour!

大自然の中、自転車で駆け抜けたのは、新鮮で楽しい体験となりました！マウンテンバイクは、ガタガタの道は少し不安でしたが、慣れれば楽しめるので初心者でも安心だと思います！とにかく大自然が見れたのと、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえたので、大満足のツアーでした！

There are almost only foreigners, but there is one staff member who speaks Japanese, so they will provide explanations. The horseback riding experience allows you to tour filming locations, enjoy views of the sea, and take in the mountains, making it very fulfilling. Even if it's your first time riding, there are explanation videos available in Japanese and other languages, so I think it will be easy to understand.

ほぼ外国人しかいないですが、現地に日本語を話せるスタッフが1人いるのでその方が説明してくださいます。乗馬体験はロケ地を巡ったり海をながめたり、山を、眺めたりでとても充実できます。乗馬が初めてでも日本語や他の言語の説明ビデオが用意されてるのでわかりやすいと思います。

Honestly best idea ever, gives you all the key things here. You get that fun tour information but with super cool guides that are real joy to have. I’m not as much of horse rider but the atv was best option. You kinda free independent driving yourself at super relaxing. Booking was super easy as well as ticket pickup and information. I would do this tour again absolutely even families with kids were having a blast in my group!!!

I have attended this luau on more than one occasion. The food is good, the entertainment is great. Wonderful fire show!

My family absolutely loved this! It was our favorite activity of our entire vacation! The crew was very helpful and gracious.

Even as a paper driver, I had a great time. It was more of a nature experience tour than a location tour, but I was able to connect with the stunning nature, and it became a valuable experience.

ペーパードライバーの私でも楽しく遊べました。ロケ地巡りというよりは、自然体験ツアーでしたが、圧巻の自然に触れ、貴重な経験になりました。

It was an English narration, but I was able to get a Japanese pamphlet. It seems that the pamphlet was visually easier for the children to understand. It was great to see two sea turtles swimming.

英語ナレーションだけど、日本語パンフレットをもらえた
こどもにはパンフレットの方が視覚的にわかりやすかったようです。
ウミガメが２匹いて、泳いでいるところを見られたのがよかった。

We had such a great time! The captain and his helpers are so friendly they truly make you feel like you're part of their family, great boat with great food would recommend 10/10.

the food was really good, we had such a great time loved every show, but our favorite was the fire one, definitely recommend!

This was an amazing tour. As long as you know how to ride a bike, you're going to be good. Since this is an eBike, you're not going to feel tired at the end of the trip. You can adjust the setting on the bike to either put more effort to ride it or just let the bike do all the hard work. You'll be given a dry bag which you can attach to the bike. This can fit your wallet and a small water bottle. The ranch had amazing views and all the film sets are a must see. Compared to ATVs, this ride is silent and you won't be covered in dust and dirt. I will definitely this tour again!

Excellent crew. Trained, attentive, patient with all participants. Useful tips and talented cook.
My super -day 11/21/2022

About three years ago, I had planned to go parasailing here, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to strong winds on the day of the activity. The next day, I had to return home and didn't have enough time, so I had to sadly give up. To make up for the humiliation from three years ago, I booked parasailing here again this time. It was truly so much fun from start to finish!!! If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely use your services again. It became the best memory! Thank you!

約3年前にこちらでパラセイリングをやる予定を入れていたのですが運悪く当日、風が強く中止に。翌日、帰国しなきゃいけず時間に余裕がなくその時は泣く泣く断念しました。3年前の屈辱を晴しに今回もこちらでパラセイリングを予約させていただきました。最初から最後まで本当に楽しすぎました！！！次もまたハワイに行く機会ができたら絶対にまた利用させて頂きます。最高の思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！

My husband and I took the North Shore Tour hoping to get a bit of everything - activities, beach, relaxation and fun. We got what we wanted and more. We had Cousin G who made everyone feel comfortable and entertained, and made the tour engaging and funny.
The tour had a good balance of free/activity time and many choices to choose from. We did the waterfall and kayaking option and was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
We also got the chance to sight see the east and north side of Oahu and had many stops for photos and breaks.
We felt like we got our moneys worth from this trip and got to see and do a lot on the island in just a 8am - 5pm timeframe.

Great ATV Experience! Highly recommended place and people working there are so nice and welcoming

The activity was fun! Service was great! The views were outstanding! The only reason I didn’t rate this a 5 star is because I thought the experience was going to be longer. I either misread the information online for the itinerary wasn’t clear. But either way I would definitely do it again!

I am a repeat visitor.

I also go horseback riding in Oahu, but I think this horseback riding experience is the best.

I believe I will be back next year. I had a really great time. Thank you very much.

リピーターです。

他にもオアフでは乗馬をしていますが、こちらの乗馬がいちばん素晴らしいと思います。

また、来年お世話になると思います。
本当に楽しかったです。
ありがとございました。

I was very impressed with the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar. It was our first time out there and it surpassed our expectations. The food was not the greatest but we went for the experience and not the food. The live musicians were awesome and got the crowd pumped and excited. The lifeguards were also great in explaning how to do things such as kayak, snokleing, as well as the banana boat and bumper float. The views while in the water, amazing. So BEAUTIFUL! Definetly must go to Kaneohe Sandbar.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first try at this activity. I have a fear of heights, so I thought I would never do it. However, at the strong request of a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, I decided to join in.

Seeing Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from a different angle was an incredible deal! Since it was all ocean below, I didn't feel high at all. The takeoff, landing in the water, and landing on the boat were all very gentle, so I wasn't scared at all! It was just so much fun! It became a wonderful memory. Next time, I think I'll take my husband along.

何度もハワイに来てて、初めてのトライ。
高所恐怖症なので、絶対することはない、
と思っていたのですが、今回初めてのハワイ旅行の友人のたっての希望で、一緒に参加しました。
ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドが別角度から見えて、無茶お得‼︎
一面、海なわけで、逆に高所感が全くなく、
飛んで行く時も、着水やボートへの着地も
凄く丁寧だったので、何も怖くなかったです‼︎
ひたすら楽しかった‼︎ いい思い出になりました。
今度は主人に付き合ってあげようと思います。

Great tour! My husband and I really enjoyed it. He doesn’t typically get i to the water from any boat but he did at the sandbar. I loved the snorkel part for myself. The food was great and good selection of alcoholic drink options. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!!!

I felt the great outdoors, and driving the buggy was incredibly fun. A driver's license is required, but the controls are simple, so I think anyone can enjoy it.

大自然を感じれてバギーの運転も最高に楽しかったです運転免許は必要ですが操作も簡単で誰でも楽しめると思います

We where a party of 8 adults. It was such a beautiful day from the time we got on the boat the staff where very welcoming and gave us a a run done of the do's and dont's. On the way out to the sandbar we where entertained by two very talented singers. We had donuts ,water and soft drink for morning tea. only took about 15 min to arrive at the sandbar.It was such a lovely morning you could do some canoeing, paddle boarding, Volley ball, snorkeling,or just chilling on the barge.
All up we had an awesome day and would highly recommend doing it.
we would all do it again the next time we are in Hawaii.Do yourself a favour and book it next time you go to Hawaii.

I've visited Hawaii more than ten times, and this time I finally made it to Kualoa Ranch. The buggy ride was fun, and I was helped out when I forgot my driver's license. However, since my main purpose was to see the Lost filming locations and Jurassic Park, I wonder if I made the wrong choice. Still, it was enjoyable, and I do recommend it. Just be prepared that all the guidance is in English.

ハワイは１０回以上の訪問ですが、
待望のクアロアランチです。
今回バギーは楽しいライドで、しかも免許証忘れ
急遽代行対応していただき助かりました。
が、目的がロスト撮影やジェラシックが目的であったため、
選択を間違えたかなと、反省しています。
でも、楽しかったですよ、お勧めではあります。
案内がすべて英語であることは覚悟のうえで。。

We used this for our honeymoon!
Although we only speak Japanese, we were able to enjoy ourselves somehow.
The staff took fun photos for us, which became great memories! ⭐︎

新婚旅行で利用しました！
日本語しか話せないわたしたちでしたが、なんとか楽しむことができました。
写真を撮る時など、スタッフさんが楽しく撮影してくださり良い思い出になりました⭐︎

The day was very informative,friendly and all round a fantastic experience
