Our tour guide, Susumu, kept the atmosphere light with jokes throughout, making it a fun experience. His attention to detail was excellent, and I felt comfortable the entire time. In addition to Manoa Falls, we also enjoyed the stunning views from Tantalus Lookout, which seemed a bit hard to access. The lunch was also very delicious. I would love to join Susumu's tour again next time.

ツアーガイドのススムさんが終始ジョークで場を和ませてくださり、楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
要所要所での気配りも素晴らしく、始終、心地よく過ごす事が出来ました。
マノアの滝に加え、アクセスの悪そうなタンタラスの丘の素晴らしい景色も楽しめました。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しかったです。
今度もススムさんのツアーに参加したいです。

I think horseback riding and buggies are great, but if you want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, this tour is perfect. You can fully enjoy the movie filming locations, the agricultural and fishery conditions, and the wonderful views of Kualoa. However, since it was an English-guided tour, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English better.

乗馬やバギーも良いと思うが、ゆっくり景色と楽しむなら、このツアー。映画ロケ地を堪能、農林水産の状況、クアロアの素晴らしい景色を存分に堪能できた。ただ、英語ガイドだったので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思います。

Really enjoyed our Sunset Cruise! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and the entertainment was great. The entertainers were very talented and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.

What an amazing way to culturally connect with the indigenous peoples of Hawaii by sailing the beautiful waters like how our ancestors did. Amazing stories, singing, food and interactive activities and seeing the dolphins and honu (turtles) swimming alongside our wa’a (waka/ boat) was magical! We were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and relaxed hospitality. Definitely recommend this to people who are looking for an authentic, educational and fun experience of Hawaii. Mahalo!

I had an English instructor, but since the videos on how to ride were in Japanese, I was able to understand everything properly.

I thoroughly enjoyed riding a smart horse in the magnificent nature of Kualoa Ranch for a full two hours!

英語のインストラクターでしたが、乗馬の仕方などは日本語の動画が流れましたので、きちんと理解出来ました。

2時間たっぷりとクアロアランチの雄大な自然の中を、お利口なお馬さんに乗って堪能出来ました！

This is fun for the family ,a must experience for the family trip in hawaii

The crew did a great job! We especially enjoyed sailing offshore from Waikiki Beach.

This was fantastic, more than we expected! Great food, drink, music, crew!
Never had so much fun! The entire trip was outstanding. The sunset was amazing! The sailing out of this world. Everyone was enjoying themselves immensly. We even saw a dolphin swimming along side us. Perfect night. I'd recommend this highly, 10+
Next time we are back in Oahu, we will definitely do this again!

Thanks again for an amazing, awesome time.

Great trip out. Very well organised. Very kind, polite, and professional team. Lots of turtles, delicious cocktail, great little commerative shaker.

The Manoa Falls hike and tour was an amazing adventure and wonderful experience for my whole family of 9.
The tour guys was very friendly and educated on the mountains and Tree's that are in the environment.

I was a little nervous about the hike since my youngest is 4 years old and never been hiking before. The Tour guides where very helping in giving us information on how the trail might be slippery or what to expect so that everyone could enjoy the hike.

After the hike we went for a small lunch picnic on one of the mountain tops. We had great food and got to explore and see great views of the Waikiki Valley and Ocean views. We also got to see the diamond head mountain area.

This is an amazing opportunity to get some great pictures and learn about the Manoa Valley waterfalls as a family activity with younger kids.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do.

The buggy activity was very satisfying! However, since it's an activity that requires a long time on the buggy, the time from arrival to participation and the time from the end until the return bus was a bit tight. There were other activities like horseback riding, but we didn't have time to eat lunch. We quickly looked at souvenirs, waited in a long line at the register, rushed to the restroom, and then headed back. The plan started at 12:15, but the morning gathering was at 10:15. Since we came to the resort, we chose a time that allowed us to relax in the morning. However, even though there were many places to explore, we had no time to wander around...

We got off the return bus around 5 PM. It takes an hour each way, so I wish the plan had a bit more flexibility or that we could choose the return bus time. It felt like a waste.

As for the driving, the staff told us to get closer quite a bit. We went on roads that a regular car could never handle. It was thrilling and fun to drive over bumps that felt like we might flip over if we turned the steering wheel the wrong way, and to navigate through muddy areas with uneven surfaces. However, there were also blind curves, and if the car in front had trouble, we could end up in a collision, or even if we managed to stop, someone could crash into us from behind! We were told to get that close, which was a bit nerve-wracking.

On top of that, even though it was a four-wheel drive buggy, it was set to two-wheel drive... The car in front was slipping on a gravel incline, with its rear wheels spinning for about three seconds. I was also drifting like in a rally. However, we were repeatedly warned that any damage to the vehicle would be the driver's responsibility, and if they deemed our driving dangerous or if we couldn't follow instructions, the staff would take over driving. So, if you try to maintain a safe distance, you might be told to switch drivers.

I think this should be communicated to the local staff rather than being treated like a tour. Also, we weren't taken to the Jurassic Park gate and the tree shown in the photos... Maybe it's under construction, or there are several courses, but it was disappointing.

バギーのアクティビティは大満足！
ですが、なかなか長時間バギーに乗れるアクティビティなので、
着いてから参加までと、終わってから帰りのバスまでの時間がややタイト。
乗馬とか他にも色々あったのに…
お昼を食べたりする時間はなく、ガーっとお土産見て、長時間並ぶレジを待ち、急いでトイレに寄って帰り、でした。
12:15スタートのプランだったのもありますが、朝の集合が10:15。
せっかくリゾートに来たので朝ゆっくりするとちょうど良い時間を選びました。
しかしながらお昼食べたり、色々ある場所なのに散策する時間もないとは…
帰りのバスを降りたのは17時頃。
片道1時間かかるのに、もうちょっと余裕を持ったプランか、帰りのバスの時間を選べるようにしてほしいなと思いました。なんかもったいない。
また、運転ですが、結構前に詰めろとスタッフに言われました。
普通車では到底走れないような道を行きます。
腹を擦りながら走るハンドル反対に切ったらひっくり返るんじゃないかというような起伏や、
左右の段差があるドロドロのぬかるみを走るのはとてもスリリングで楽しいのですが、
見通しの悪いカーブもあり、前の車がトラブったら追突したり、自分が止まれても後ろから突っ込まれるでしょ！？
という間隔まで詰めろと言われます笑
おまけに四駆のバギーなのに、設定されているのは二駆…
前の車も砂利の急こうばいで滑って後輪が3秒間くらい空転。
自分もドリフトラリー走行していました。
でも、車体へのダメージはドライバーの責任になるという注意事項を散々言われますし、
言われた通りできなかったり危険な運転だと判断したらスタッフが運転を変わると言われます。
なので、しっかり車間距離取ろうとすると、運転変われと言われるかもしれません。
ツアーというより、現地スタッフにこのこと伝えてほしいですね汗
あと、写真にあったジュラシックパークのゲートと木のところは連れて行ってもらえませんでした…
工事中とか、何コースかあるのかもですが。

Experience was outstanding 5 out of 5 stars. Shout out to our tour guide “excellent service” THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Had a lovely evening with my fiancé, brother, and his wife. The food was excellent, and the sunset view was gorgeous at the top deck. The live shows were also very enjoyable. An overall wonderful experience that will never be forgotten.

This was a very enjoyable experience of the North shore. It was filled with fun activities, excellent food, and good shopping. Uncle Kevin was a perfect host and tour guide, and the trip would not have been the same without him. Very wonderful experience!

I went with my husband and 6 yrs old daughter. Our overall experience was good. The activity was awesome and the guy who was helping us on the boat was friendly.
Highly recommended!

This was a great tour and wonderful opportunity for photos! My boyfriend and I went to this tour and it's a good enough time for the price. You get to see various places where iconic scenes were filmed from Jurassic park and Godzilla. The scenery alone is enough to make me want to go back and take it all in. Good for couples and families while on vacation.

We had a great time with a wonderful crew of ladies! You all run a tight ship. Well organized, fun and relaxing time. Would have been fun to have a “I survived a Portuguese Man of War sting” shirt for the lady that ran into the little guy. Mahalo!

Thanks all your help special the grime and the beige were late and you guys waited

Highly recommend this tour. The crew was awesome! The sandbar was one of the coolest places ever. Beach volleyball was so much fun and the food was great. Snorkeling at the coral reef was good! We saw several turtles during the turtle watch time. The crew was very experienced Totally awesome experience! You won’t want to miss this one!

It felt like being inside a Jurassic movie!
The experience of racing through the magnificent nature in a buggy is unique to Kualoa Ranch.
Goggles and neck masks were also provided to avoid dust.

ジュラシックの映画の中にいるかのようでした！
バギーで壮大な自然を駆け巡る体験は、クアロアランチならではだと思います。
砂埃を避けるために、ゴーグルとネックマスクも配布されました。

This was a very enjoyable excursion, the staff were very attentive and wanted everyone to have a great experience.

The whole experience was amazing. The guides were friendly and helpful. they took their time to explained the whole process to us. We were brought to an ATV racetrack where we race with our fellow atvers. Then we were brought to this beautiful scenery spot to take pictures. Overall 10/10

Chief was an incredible host. He was genuine, funny and awesome. The show was spectacular. I was blown away by the talent. The fire show was breathtaking. We were so touched by the recognition of anniversaries. The flowers were a beautiful touch. I highly recommend the Chief Luau. No trip to Hawaii will be complete with a visit to see the Chief! Mahalo!

I had an amazing time.
My first experience with an electric mountain bike was really scary, but once I got used to it, I was able to zoom through the stunning mountain and sea views at incredible speeds—it felt fantastic! I think it's more suited for younger people; it might be tough for those in their 50s. Also, with just basic conversational English skills, I often struggled to understand the explanations for setting up the electric bike. But basically, there are four modes, and it was a simple operation of just changing the mode for uphill and downhill.

It was a beginner course, but the foreign participants had long legs and were pedaling at quite a fast speed, so I was doing my best to keep up. The instructor, Fallen, was amazing—funny, cute, and kind, and I became a fan of hers. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to do this again. However, I think 20,000 yen without transportation is a bit high, so I hope they can work on that.

めちゃくちゃ楽しかった。
初の電動マウンテンバイクはめちゃくちゃ怖かったけど慣れたら圧巻の山海の間を爆速できて最高に気持ちいい！！年齢的に若い人向けだと思う。50代は厳しいかな…あと日常英会話程度の英語力だと電動自転車の設定の説明とか理解できない事が多かった。でも要は4モードあって、坂道や下り坂でモードを変えるだけのシンプルな操作だった。

初級コースだったけど外国人の人達足長いしスイスイかなり速いスピードでこいで遅れを取らない様にと必死だった。
インストラクターのfallen さんがAmazingな方で面白くてかわいくて優しくてファンになった。又ハワイ行ったら絶対やりたい。送迎なしで2万は高いのでそこどうにかして欲しいです。涙

It was perfect. Such friendly staff. So safe and so much fun. My 1 year old and 4 year old kiddos had such a blast. We have booked through Paradise Bay 2 years because we were staying there, and this time around was so much better. Live band with amazing voices. Just a great experience. Mahalo

Whatever I say will not do the experience any justice. Jesse and Jeremiah with the music and entertainment was sublime Lifeguards were nice and very helpful. activities were beyond my expectation. Clearly well put together

We participated in our first horseback riding experience as a couple over the age of 60. The explanations were in English and completely confusing! (The video was in Japanese, so that was fine.) There was a Japanese person in the same group who was fluent in English, which was a great help. The horse I rode was very smart and it was wonderful. My husband's horse kept stopping to eat grass from the beginning to the end, which made it quite challenging. It was our first experience, but we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature and create great memories.

P.S. The girl who was our guide was always attentive, very kind, and adorable. Thank you for your care.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初の乗馬体験に参加しました。説明が英語でチンプンカンプン！（ビデオは日本語なのでOK）同じグループに日本人の方がいらして英語が堪能な方だったので助かりました。私が乗ったお馬さんがお利口でとても良かったです。主人のお馬さんは最初から最後まで何度も草を食べ立ち止まる事が多く手こずっていました。初めての体験でしたが、大自然の景色を見ながら楽しむ事ができ良い思い出ができました。

ガイドの女の子がいつも気にかけてくれてとても親切で可愛いかったです。お世話になりました。

We had a blast! This was the first activity we did during our trip and it did not disappoint! They served donuts, played live music, and had plenty of activities to do. Our favorite experience was the snorkeling! The reefs were so healthy and we saw lots of fish! It's BYOB and there is a store to purchase drinks and snacks before you board. Everyone was super nice and we made friends along the way! Great way to start our trip!

The farm ground are awesome, you catch glimpses of the ocean, and the horses are excellent trained!

Super fun experience! The show was by far the most entertaining show we experienced during our stay in Oahu. The dancing was beautiful and the fire dancing was jaw dropping! We attended during our honeymoon and we were made to feel unbelievable special despite countless honeymooners and anniversaries attending as well. The only reason I did not award 5 stars is because the food was pretty mediocre. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. The drinks however, were delicious so that makes up for it!
