Oahu
We went as a family of 4 with a 13 and 15 year old and all loved our day! Our tour guides were fun and informative…. We just wish we had more time to do more of the activities… we strongly recommend this tour!!!
If you can go early in the day do a few of the activities as there is so much to experience there!
You can fully enjoy the nature of Hawaii. It was very fun to visit the filming locations of movies. Since the guide's explanations were all in English, I couldn't understand everything. During the photo time, we were the only Japanese people, so the guide talked to us and was considerate. If you have a driver's license, you can drive, so we were able to take turns driving. Having a pick-up service was also helpful. The driver guided us while driving as well. However, the waiting time until the pick-up was long.
ハワイの自然を満喫することができます。映画の撮影場所も回るのでとても楽しかったです。ガイドの方の説明は全部英語なので全部は理解できませんでした。写真タイムでは日本人が私たちだけだったのでガイドの方が話しかけてくれたり気を遣ってくれました。免許があれば運転できるので交代しながら運転できました。送迎付きなのも助かりました。運転手の方もガイドをしながら運転してくれました。ただ迎えの時間までの待ち時間が長かったです。
Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, as there is a lot of dust.
砂埃がすごいので汚れても良い服装で行ってください。
I made a reservation to create memories for our honeymoon. The staff really got us excited, and it became a wonderful memory. My husband was very enthusiastic and enjoyed himself a lot. Unfortunately, I got seasick and had to sit down. Even then, the staff was very considerate and I appreciated their help. If you pay an additional fee, they will take photos for you. I received about 100 photos as data, so I highly recommend it.
新婚旅行での思い出作りに予約しました。
スタッフの方が盛り上げてくれて良い思い出になりました。旦那はとてもノリノリで楽しんでいました。私は船酔いでダウンしてしまいました。その際もスタッフの方が色々と気遣ってくださりありがたかったです。
追加料金を払えば写真撮影をしてくれます。100枚ほどデータで貰うことができたのでおすすめです。
Even if you take motion sickness medication, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. Cash is needed as you will be giving a tip.

I walked with our guide Ryan in the heat.
He had a wealth of knowledge about plants, animals, and the land, and we enjoyed half a day.
Thank you very much.
暑い中ガイドのRyanさんと歩きました。
植物、動物、そして土地に関する知識も豊富で半日楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。
I had a really fun and great experience!
If you don't want photos, you need to clearly say no, or they will push you.
By the way, there were two groups including us, and both of us fell into the sea once.
凄く楽しくいい経験ができました!
もし、写真がいらないならばはっきり断らないとゴリ押しされます。
ちなみに私たち含めて2組いましたがどちらも海に一度落とされました。
This was a fun experience and the the staff was amazing! Would do this again
Dear Nay
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! 🌺
We’re so happy to hear you had a fun experience and that our staff made it even more enjoyable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another great adventure!

It was said to be a day with calm waves, but I still felt the rocking of the boat. However, the large, slow swaying after we ascended was more challenging for me, as I have a weak vestibular system. While I endured it, I received the title of today's champion from the staff during the docking, which made me laugh.
The scenery was beautiful, and my partner had a great time. It was a good experience.
波が穏やかな日だったそうですが
それでも船の揺れは感じました。
でも、船の揺れよりも、上空に上がってからの大きなゆっくりした揺れの方が
三半規管の弱い私にはしんどかったです。
何度も「うっ」となりながらも耐え忍んでいたところ、
着岸の際、スタッフの方から、今日のチャンピオンの称号を貰いました笑
景色は綺麗で、パートナーは非常に楽しかったそうです。
いい経験になりました。
Don't forget your motion sickness medication, towel, waterproof case for your smartphone, and sunglasses.

I chose the morning plan without checking the tides, so I ended up being submerged in the sea up to my chest and couldn't see the sandbar. If you want to see the sandbar, I think it's better to check the tides beforehand. Once we got to the sandbar, we were able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding freely, which was fun. The staff members who spoke Japanese shared unique stories with us. You can get donuts on the boat heading to the sandbar, but if you plan to get them later, they might run out, so I recommend getting them at the beginning.
潮汐を調べずに午前プランを選択してしまったので、サンドバーは見られずに胸元くらいまで海に浸かっている状態でした。サンドバーを見たい場合は、事前に潮汐を調べてから行ったほうがいいと思います。サンドバーについてからは、シュノーケルやサップなど自由に過ごすことができ、楽しめました。日本語を話してくださるスタッフの方々がユニークにお話してくださいます。サンドバーに向かう船の中でドーナツがもらえますが、後でもらおうと思っていると無くなりますので、初めにもらうといいと思います。
Dear Tuna,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your valuable feedback.
The appearance of the sandbar can change significantly depending on the tides. During low tide, the sandy beach becomes visible, while at high tide, it may be submerged. If you want to ensure a good view of the sandbar, we recommend checking the tides in advance.
On the other hand, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as interacting with our crew in Japanese.
Once again, thank you for your valuable advice and warm review. We hope you will join us again at a different tide level to enjoy the various expressions of the sandbar.
Mahalo,

tuna様
このたびはツアーにご参加いただき、貴重なご感想をお寄せくださり誠にありがとうございます。
サンドバーの姿はその日の潮汐によって大きく変わり、干潮時には砂浜が現れ、満潮時には海中に隠れてしまうことがございます。サンドバーを確実にご覧になりたい場合は、事前に潮汐をご確認いただくことをおすすめしております。
一方で、シュノーケルやサップを楽しんでいただき、弊社の日本語でのクルーとの交流などをご満喫されたとのお声を伺い、大変嬉しく思っております。
改めまして、貴重なアドバイスと温かいレビューをありがとうございました。ぜひまた別の潮位のタイミングでもご参加いただき、異なるサンドバーの表情をお楽しみいただければ幸いです。

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.
Dear Jessica Urias
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! 🌺
We’re so glad to hear that your family had such a great time and that our crew made the experience welcoming and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s also fantastic to know you enjoyed the live music, activities, and time out on the water.
Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you and your family back on your next visit to Oahu.

Although it was unfortunately a cloudy day, I was able to ride horses around Kualoa Ranch. Riding for about an hour made my backside sore, but it was a wonderful experience. It took over an hour to get from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch by shuttle bus, but since it was a large tour bus, I was able to sleep soundly without any bumps. The guide who accompanied us on the horseback riding took a photo of me on the horse, but when I looked back later, for some reason, none of the photos were taken, and it's a shame that I don't have any pictures from the ride.
あいにくの曇り空でしたが、馬に乗ってクアロアランチを巡ることができました。1時間ほど馬に乗るので、お尻が痛くなりましたが、とてもいい体験をすることができました。ワイキキからクアロアランチまで送迎バスで1時間以上かかりましたが、大型観光バスだったので、揺れもせず爆睡することができました。乗馬の引率のお姉さんに、馬に乗った自分の写真をカメラで撮っていただいたのですが、あとから見返すとなぜか1枚も撮れておらず、乗馬の写真が残っていないのが残念です。
So much fun!! wish it was longer though.. Guides were very friendly and check-in was easy.
Exact directions where to park and how to find the check in. Walked around too much to find it.
Aloha! So glad to hear you had fun out on the canoe with us! Mahalo for the kind words about our team and check-in process. We’ll keep your feedback in mind about wishing the ride was longer — that just means you’ll have to come back for another paddle soon!
This place is just AMAZING. Had a great time snorkeling, feeding the fish, paddle boarding, and simply just soaking in the sun. The weather was just perfect. The tour crew was great, very attentive, and fun. I will visit every time I go back to Hawaii!!!!
Dera Chant
Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review! 🌺
We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling, paddle boarding, and sunshine, and that the weather was just right for your visit. Our crew will be so happy to know we helped make your experience fun and memorable.
We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back each time you return to Hawaii!

Fun day out at the sand bar. Water was a little murky but still nice. Short SUP around the area and just hanging out.

It was wonderful to be able to slowly see both the sea and the mountains while riding a horse. While it seemed nice to go by car, being able to fully immerse myself in nature while horseback riding was the best.
馬に乗りながら、ゆっくり海も山もみることができてとってもよかったです。
車に乗って行くのも良さそうでしたが、乗馬しながら思う存分自然に触れることができて最高でした。
I had a great time. The ocean was very beautiful and amazing! In the morning, I jumped off the diving rock (it was quite impressive), enjoyed snorkeling, and had a blast in the water. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding and strolled around Haleiwa a bit. I was able to play a lot throughout the day.
Everything was in English, so it might be difficult if you can't speak it at all, but the staff were very kind.
とても楽しかったです。海がとてもきれいで最高ですね!午前中は飛び込み岩から飛び込んだり(結構すごいですよ)、シュノーケルをして海遊びを満喫し、午後はサップをして少しハレイワの街を散策しました。一日中たっぷり遊べました。
全て英語なので全く話せないと難しいかもしれませんがスタッフの方はとても親切でしたよ。
The staff were enthusiastic and very accommodating. 🤙 They spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. There were also Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. The dog was adorable.
スタッフがノリノリで対応良かった🤙
日本語喋れるし安心できる
スタッフも日本人いるし安心

You must wear pants because you will get wet.

You can enjoy a horse riding experience for about 70 minutes against the backdrop of the deep blue sea and the pure white sandy beach. Although it's horse riding, you will be walking slowly along a beautiful coastline, making it a very soothing experience. It's charming when the horse occasionally stops to take a break. Since it's on a large private property, there are hardly any people around, creating a completely extraordinary experience. The horses are well-trained, so you hardly need to use the reins. They automatically follow the horse in front, almost like self-driving. Looking back, this was the most wonderful experience of my trip to Hawaii.
真っ青な海と真っ白な砂浜を背景に約70分乗馬体験できます。乗馬といっても素敵な海岸沿いをゆっくりゆっくり歩きますので、とても癒される体験です。途中馬が歩みを止めたりするのもご愛敬。大きな私有地の中なので、ほとんど人もおらず、完全な非日常体験になりました。馬は、よく訓練されているので手綱裁きをほとんど不要です。勝手に前の馬についていくので、自動運転みたいなものでした。今回のハワイ旅行中もっとも素敵な体験であったと振り返りました。
You cannot ride a horse while carrying a backpack. They can lend you a body bag to put your phone and other items in, but since I had my own waist pouch, I was able to use that. Once you get used to r
リックサックを担いで乗馬することはできません。ケータイ等を入れるボデイバックは貸して貰えますが、僕は自分のウエストポーチをつけていたので使えました。乗馬に慣れてくるとケータイで美しい写真をとれます。
I actually wanted to go to Hanauma Bay and Sea Life Park, but it was good that I had enough time for just Hanauma Bay. I was a bit worried at first since there was only an English guide, but it wasn't much of a problem. Thank you very much.
本当はハナウマ湾とシーライフパークに行きたかったのですがハナウマ湾だけの方が
十分時間が取れてよかったです。
英語ガイドの対応しかななったので当初少し不安でしたがさほど問題はなかったです。ありがとうございました。
I had an extraordinary experience driving a buggy through the unique scenery at the foot of the mountains in Hawaii, including visits to filming locations. The flexibility of the tour organizer, allowing us to choose our return flight on-site, was also great.
ハワイ独特の山並みのふもとの景色とロケ地後の見学などをバギーで走るという非日常の体験が出来ました。帰りの便は現地で選べるなどツアー主催者の柔軟な対応も良かった。
Since there are a lot of flies and dust, it's better to wear long sleeves and long pants.
ハエや埃がすごいので服装は長袖、長パンツが良いでしょう
The crew was friendly, and the tour started promptly on time.
Fun activities at the beautiful sand bar. Plenty of kayaks and snorkling gears to borrow.
The staffs were very attentive to each participant's need and made sure of the safety throughout the tour.
The boat has a nice deck on the back with a lot of scenic views along the route from the pier to the sandbar.
Dear Thuy
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! 🌺
We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sandbar, the activities, and the scenic views along the way. Our crew will be delighted to know their attentiveness and focus on safety made your experience even better.

Had a great time would highly recommend! make sure you buy the feed to feed the animals.
Make sure to get the feed for the animals.
It was a shame that the sky was cloudy, but the aerial walk was amazing. It felt higher than I expected, but there was little swaying, so even someone with a fear of heights like me didn't feel scared. I also recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding.
空が曇っていたのが残念でしたが、空中散歩は最高でした。思っていたより高く感じましたが、揺れは少ないので、高所恐怖症の私でも怖さは感じなかったです。
なお、酔い止め薬は乗船前に飲んでおくことをお勧めします。
The boat was nice, staff was friendly and the water was beautiful. The DJ kept the party going while the boat was anchored. And I might've fallen in love with Jesse! He was a wonderful addition to the excursion!! A great time was had by these girls from Texas!
Dear Raegan Bell
Thank you so much for your fun 5-star review! 🌺
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the boat, the music, and the beautiful water. Our crew and especially Jesse, will be so happy to know they helped make your experience memorable.
We love that you and your friends from Texas had such a great time with us, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!

I was filled with anxiety on my first overseas trip, but there were people who spoke Japanese, so I had no problems at all.
I had a great time on the banana boat and bumper tube, teetering on the edge of falling off! Both activities required wearing life jackets, which made me feel safe.
During snorkeling, I also wore a life jacket and just swam on the surface, but at the snorkeling spot, I was thrilled to see two sea turtles and lots of small fish welcoming me! While touching the sea turtles is not allowed, you can get close enough to take pictures with your smartphone! Just be cautious of seasickness as the boat sways constantly. Also, it was just us, but after we finished, I was so cold that my body was shaking, so if you're worried, it's best to prepare a jacket or a bath towel to keep warm.
There was about a 30 to 40-minute wait from the pickup to the start, and after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, there was a little over an hour before snorkeling, so you can grab a meal at nearby restaurants during that time.
For changing clothes, there was something like a changing room for one person, and there were two lockable restrooms where you could change. However, I just dried off with a towel without changing, and no one said anything while providing transportation.
Tips are given to different drivers for each boat, so after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, you give a tip to that driver, and after snorkeling, you give a tip to the snorkeling guide.
初の海外旅行で不安だらけでしたが、

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!
Aloha Mike
Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed 5-star review! 🌺
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the live music, snorkeling, and all the fun activities—especially the tubing! It sounds like you really made the most of your time on the sandbar, and our crew will be thrilled to know you had such a great experience.
We also appreciate your feedback about the boat roof — we’ll keep it in mind as we continue improving our tours. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable day on the water!

Starting with guidance in Japanese, I was deeply impressed by the detailed instruction that smoothly integrated simple Japanese and English while riding the horse. Waking up early in the morning to go there was truly a valuable experience.
日本語の案内から始まって、いざ馬に乗っても、片言の日本語や英語を交えてのきめ細かな指導があり、スムーズに馬が動かすことができて大変感動しました。
朝早く起きて行って価値のある経験ができました。
A must-experience. Even for first-time riders, the staff provides thorough guidance, so you can feel at ease.
絶対経験するべき。
初めての乗馬でもスタッフが手取り足取り指導してくれるので安心ですよ。
I had various concerns about the detailed timing, gate security, and the route to the front desk, but the tour was fantastic with beautiful scenery and a stunning sunset ride. The staff and the friendly cat at the reception made for a pleasant experience.
細かい時間指定、ゲートのセキュリティ、フロントデスクまでの道のりと色々不安でしたがツアーは景色もサンセットのライドも最高でした。スタッフさんも受付の猫さんもフレンドリーで心地よい時間を過ごすことができました
I recommend going by car (rental car) considering the return trip.
帰りのことも考えると車(レンタカー)で行く事をお勧めします。
It was great that I could go at my own pace. Since I don't usually exercise, there were times when it was tough to reach the summit. However, when I got to the top, I was filled with a sense of accomplishment. The view of Waikiki from there was breathtaking. I would love to join this tour again someday. Next time, I think I'll choose a time when I can see the sunrise.
マイペースで行けるというのが非常に良かった。自分は普段から運動してないので、頂上まで苦しいこともありましたが、。頂上に着いた時は達成感でいっぱいでした。そして、そこからのワイキキは絶景でした。またいつかこのツアーに参加したいです。次は日の出が見られる時間のにしようと思います。
Sneakers are better.
スニーカーのほうが良いです。
Great time Luau with all the fun, food, and Entertainment you need. The price is a little high, but well worth it for a great evening. Not out of line with other high end complete evenings with food, and entertainment like dinner and shows, or a concert, or a sporting event.
Thanks to the lovely Japanese guide Fuko, who greeted us with a smile, I had a great time throughout the trip. She talked a lot about Hawaii while we were on the boat and brought us drinks; she was truly a considerate tour guide. A pod of spinner dolphins swam around the boat for a long time, jumping and showing off their cute appearances. During snorkeling, we saw several green sea turtles. There weren't many fish, but I was very satisfied!
お迎えの時から笑顔が可愛い日本人のフウコさんのお陰で、終始楽しく参加させて頂きました。
船の中でもハワイの事をたくさんお話してくれたり、ドリンクを持ってきてくれたり、本当に気遣いの素晴らしい添乗員さんでした。
ハシナガイルカの群が長い時間船の周りを泳いでくれて、ジャンプしたり可愛い姿を見せてくれました。シュノーケリングではアオウミガメを何匹も見れました。お魚さんはちょっと少なかったですが、大満足でした!
Aloha! Thank you, Mahalo. We appreciate your participation in Dolphin University and your five-star rating. It seems you enjoyed not only the encounters with marine life like the spinner dolphins and green sea turtles set against the backdrop of Hawaii's great nature, but also your interaction with our Japanese guide, Fuuko! Please join us again the next time you visit Hawaii! The entire crew, including Fuuko, will do our best to ensure you have wonderful encounters with the dolphins! Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
