Our group of 9 all agree this was the best excursion we had in Oahu. The staff took great care of us, and the scooters were a lot of fun. We saw so many turtles!

I tried parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. It was so much fun flying over the beautiful ocean. However, I think it's essential for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

ハワイで初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。綺麗な海の上を飛べて、とても楽しかったです。ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めが必須だと思います。

I participated in January! The staff on the boat were really great! However, it was too cold due to the season. It took a lot of determination to get into the sea. We saw a lot of turtles, and the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. I think we could have enjoyed it even more if the weather had been better!

1月に参加しました！船に乗ってたスタッフさん方はすごいよかった！ただ季節もあって寒すぎました。海に入るのは気合いがいりました。
亀はほんとにたくさん見えて子どもは楽しそうにしてました。季節がよければもっと楽しめたなと思いました！

On the first day we arrived, we participated right away and had fun with the kids. We did all seven activities, but by the end, we were quite tired. The instructors were kind and taught us well, so my 9-year-old son was very satisfied and enjoyed himself.

着いた初日にいきなり参加しましたが子供たちと楽しめました。7本すべてをしましたが最後の方は結構疲れました。インストラクターの方たちが優しく教えてくれましたので9歳の息子も十分満足して楽しみました。

The scenery was amazing, and the weather was great—I want to do it again! It was a shame that the seat on the horse was hard, and my leg bones started to hurt. I would be happy if there was a soft cushion available!

景色が最高で気候も良くてまたやりたい！
馬の上に座った時に座るところが固くて足の骨が痛くなったのが残念。柔らかいクッションみたいなのできたらあると嬉しい！

I made a reservation the night before the experience, and everything went smoothly, including the hotel pick-up. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with good weather and calm waves, allowing us to have a great time. We enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, and we were able to see sea turtles up close, which was very satisfying. The half-day schedule was also convenient, especially since there are so many things I want to do in Hawaii. It was nice that it wasn't too physically demanding compared to diving, so I could enjoy it without getting too tired. The staff were friendly and approachable, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and I had a fulfilling time. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance.

現地で体験前日の夜に予約を取りましたが、ホテルの送迎含め問題なく参加して帰ってくることができました。
当日は、天候にも恵まれ波も穏やかで思いきり遊べました。サップやシュノーケリング、そしてウミガメも近くで観られ、大満足でした。半日というスケジュールも、ハワイでやりたい事が沢山あるなかで気軽に参加しやすいとも思います。体力的にも、ダイビングと違いそこまで疲れずに楽しめた事がよかったです。スタッフの方も気軽に話しかけてくれて、雰囲気もよく充実した時間が過ごせました。また、機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。

The sea was beautiful and the breeze felt wonderful! During the underwater scooter experience, the instructor was right there with us, so there was no confusion, and we got to see fish up close as well as a sea turtle!
The instructor for the experience didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. They seemed to understand simple Japanese, so I felt no anxiety.
However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. I tend to get seasick easily, and I forgot to take my medication, which turned out to be quite a situation, haha. My husband, who usually doesn't get seasick, was also affected quite a bit, so that's the only downside!

海がきれいでとても風が気持ちいかったです！水中スクーターの最中はインストラクターさんが付きっきりなので迷うこともないですし、まじかでお魚も見れてウミガメも見れました！！
体験のインストラクターさんは日本語が通じないけれど、特に問題ありませんでした。簡単な日本語なら解るらしく、不安はなかったです。
ただ、船が結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。私は元々酔いやすいのに、酔い止め忘れてえらいことになりました笑
旦那さんも船酔いあんまりしない人なのに結構やられてたので、難点はそこだけですね！！

I think the show itself was enjoyable, so that was good! However, the meal was a bit different from what I had signed up for, which was a little disappointing! I believe crab was supposed to be included... The directions were unclear! I think it could have been prevented with some arrows!

ショー自体は楽しめたので良かったと思います!
食事は申し込んだ時とは少し違いがあったのでちょっとガッカリしました！カニが予定ではあったはずだったのですが…
案内が分かりにくかったです！矢印でも有れば防げたと思います!

This was my second time participating in a dolphin tour in Hawaii. In a word, it was the best! The staff were all friendly, and it was truly a fun tour! I swam with dolphins as far as the eye could see, and there was plenty of time to enjoy activities like boating and snorkeling afterward! The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious.

I'm already excited about joining the turtle university! If you're considering a dolphin tour in Hawaii, I absolutely recommend it!!

ハワイでイルカのツアーに参加するのは今回が2回目でした。一言で言うと、【最高】です！
スタッフが皆フレンドリーで本当に楽しい楽しいツアーでした！
見渡す限りのイルカたちと一緒に泳ぎその後はボートやシュノーケルのアクティビティを堪能する時間も沢山ありました！昼食のチーズバーガーもとても美味しかったです(^^)

時間は亀大学に参加したいと今からワクワクしています⭐︎
ハワイでイルカツアーをするなら、絶対おススメです！！

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.

VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

It was great. The dancing was awesome and the food was great. One of the best Luau's I've been to.

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.

We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.

If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.

One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

ピックアップ場所で受付後 本日のアクティビティの時間と順番を記入された紙と手首に 色の着いたテープ巻かれバスで移動 当日は参加者多かったのか バス2台でした。海岸沿いに走りながらノースショア方向へ 約70分 牧草地帯が 左に見えてきたら クアロアランチの看板が 牧草には 牛 牛 牛そして 馬に乗ったカーボーイが 期待一気に高まります。ゲストセンターの前でウクレレ演奏するスタッフに迎えられ 各アクティビティの集合場所の説明受ける。あとは各個人が 選んだコース参加します。食事は簡単なバイキング
鶏肉と豚肉は 牧場で育てたものだと 後で スタッフが教えてくれまた。人気のコースは(乗馬やバギー)予約早めに しないと直ぐ 一杯になるらしい。天気が良くないと(もし雨なら着替え必要です)価値少し落ちます。映画の撮影場所に 行きたいのなら 映画撮影地ツアーに 参加しないと全部見られません。クチコミサイトでバギーからでも見える。乗馬からでも大丈夫とありましたが一部だけ 見えましたが 正解 撮影地ツアーは 説明もしっかりして 日本語ツアーもある。ジュラシックパークのロケ地では バスを降りて 写真撮影でき スタッフの方が 各自のスマホで撮影してくれた。難を言えばトイレは大きいのですが ２ヶ所しかないため 参加するツアーの空き時間(15分空いて組まれいます。)済ませないと 大変なことになります。要注意

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!

There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.

3歳と5歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
ずっと面倒見の良い方ばかりでみんなで楽しむことができました！！ただ、イルカと一緒に泳ぐのは子供達にはまだ難しかったです。船上で見ていました。
大人でも泳がなければならないので慣れていないとキツイです。泳ぎに自信があれば間近でイルカが何度も泳ぎ回るので最高です^ ^
それ以外にも滑り台やカヤック、チーズバーガーにフラダンスと楽しむポイントはたくさんです！！
注文としては子供達のギアのサイズももう少し小さい物を用意してほしいです。

This was my first visit.
This trip included four adults and three children from my family, including my youngest who is only three years old, so we participated in the Dolphin Encounter that everyone could enjoy.
The weather was great, making it perfect for the tour.
The cheerful dolphin trainer and the very gentle and charming dolphins made the kids extremely happy!
They take photos of you kissing the dolphins.
However, those photos are quite expensive!
It's $75 for two photos of you kissing the dolphin on the cheek and on the mouth per person.
There was no way we could buy one for everyone, so I only got one for my parents as a keepsake.
Also, you can't get the family photo data unless you purchase the photos.
I would appreciate it if they could reconsider the pricing a bit.
The park isn't very large, so even the kids could walk around easily.
They were delighted to see sea turtles and baby sharks up close.
There are also play equipment in the park, which was great for the kids who were getting bored!
It's a facility that a three-year-old can enjoy, so it's probably more suitable for younger children.

初めて訪れました。
今回の旅は両親と私たち家族の大人4名子供3名。
まだ一番下の子が3歳なので、みんなで体験出来るドルフィンエンカウンターに参加。
お天気もよく、ツアー参加には申し分ない気候でした。
陽気なイルカの調教師さんと、とても優しくチャーミングなイルカを触れて子供達も大喜び！
イルカとキスしてる写真を撮ってくれます。
ただ、その写真がとっても高額！
1人につきイルカとほっぺにキスと口づけ写真2枚で75ドル。
とてもじゃないけど、全員分なんて買えなかったので、両親の記念にと両親の分だけ。
また家族写真は写真を購入しないとデータがもらえません。
もう少し金額を見直して頂けると嬉しいです。
Parkはそんなに広くなく、子供の足でも全然歩けます。
ウミガメやサメの子供など間近で観られるので喜んでいました。
園内には遊具もあり、暇を持て余す子供達に良かったです！
3歳の子供が十分楽しめるくらいの施設なので、小さなお子様向けかな。

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.

The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.

Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.

The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.

The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

We were greeted on arrival with some traditional Hawaiian Lei's and a photo with two of the show stars. We had a free drink on arrival and then sat down to get ready for the show. The people on the table were chatty and friendly. We were lucky to be the first table up for the buffet which was incredible, so much choice of food! The show started and was absolutely amazing, ending with a fire show! The rooftop view whilst the sun was going down was perfect and typical Hawaiian paradise. Absolutely loved it!

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

We participated as a couple. The experience lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, but time flowed very slowly, and we were able to see sea turtles and fish up close. We were very satisfied!! During the waiting time, we could have gone snorkeling, but unfortunately, I got seasick and couldn't do it. However, since there are two types of activities available, I highly recommend it!! The timing was from morning to early afternoon, so we were able to enjoy shopping back in Waikiki as well! My husband and I were looking for activities that could be done in half a day, so this tour was perfect for our wishes. I would love to participate again.

夫婦2人で参加。
15〜20分程度ですがとてもゆっくりとした時間が流れておりウミガメも魚もとても近くで見ることが出来ました。大満足です！！
待ち時間にはシュノーケリングも出来ましたが、
残念なことに私が船酔いしてしまいできなかったのですが2種類のアクティビティが出来るのでとてもオススメです！！
時間は朝から昼過ぎだったので、ワイキキに戻って買い物も楽しめました！私達夫婦も半日で出来るアクティビティを探していたのでこのツアーは私たちの希望にピッタリでした♩
また参加したいです。

Very convenient and pleasant cruise. Transportation was easy, staff was friendly, food was tasty, entertainment was entertaining. Very good date for a couple. Would reccomend to anyone looking for something to do for an evening.

My family and I enjoyed it very much! The view from the top was amazing and tour guide was very entertaining. They made us laugh the whole time. I'd love to go back.

My partner and I didn't expect Kualoa to be this big and organised. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed beautiful nature of Hawaii and visiting the places where Hollywood movies were filmed. Highly recommend.

Since 9 AM and 10 AM were fully booked, I requested the earliest slot at 8 AM! As a result, there were only a few people (including us, 5 in total), so we could enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace! The person who picked us up and all the staff were very friendly and nice, and it was totally fine even if you can't speak English! (It's good to have tips for both parties.) The staff took photos for us, but it costs money, so we took pictures with other Japanese participants and shared them via Airdrop! Parasailing was truly amazing; I was hesitant until the last minute, but I'm really glad I did it! The view from 150 meters up is fantastic! I want to do it again when I go to Hawaii!

9時、10時がいっぱいだったので朝一の8時からお願いしました！結果人数少なくて(自分たちを含め5人)ゆっくりと体験できました！送迎してくれる人、スタッフの人みんな気さくでとても良い方ばかりで英語が話せなくても全然大丈夫でした！(どちら方にもチップはあった方がいいです)写真はスタッフの方が撮ってくれますがお金が掛かるので日本人の参加者の方と撮り合いAirdropで送り合いました！パラセーリングは本当に最高で直前までやるか悩んでいましたがやってよかったと本当に思います！しかも150m上から見る景色は最高です！またハワイに行ったらやりたいです！

We went as a family of five, and we were divided into two groups of three and two. My parents and I talked about how this is definitely something you should do!!! The view is amazing, and the coolness of flying in the heat is the best! While waiting for my turn, the staff kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. They were very kind, and it was the best memory!

家族5人で行き、3人と2人で対応させてもらいました。
両親と飛んだ時にこれは絶対やるべき！！！と話していました(笑)景色も最高ですし暑い中飛ぶ涼しさは最高です！自分の番を待っている間もスタッフの方が盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
親切にしていただき最高の思い出です！

The service was good, and the guide was knowledgeable, but it was necessary to be careful as there was light rain, making the ground muddy and slippery.

サービスはよくガイド担当者も博学で問題ないですが、小雨が降り足下がぬかるみ滑りやすいので注意が必要でした。

It has been my dream to go horseback riding in Hawaii with my family, and it finally came true. I was wondering if we could ride for two hours, but with the breathtaking scenery and the well-behaved horses, I felt no anxiety, and the time flew by. The facilities were all clean, and the hamburgers and acai bowls we had afterward were delicious! I will never forget the relaxing view I had while riding the horse.

家族でハワイで乗馬をするのが夢で、それが叶いました。
2時間も出来るかなと思っていましたが、圧巻の景色と優等生な馬に乗って何にも不安はなくあっという間でした。
施設はどこも綺麗で、終わってから食べたハンバーガーやアサイーボールも美味しかったです！
ゆったりと馬に乗って見れたあの景色は一生忘れません。

There was a Japanese explanation video, and I was able to ride without any anxiety because I understood the precautions and how to operate. It was enjoyable.

日本語の説明ビデオがあって、注意事項と操作方法がわかった上で騎乗できたので、不安も無く楽しかったです。

Since I was with a small child, they were already happy just to see lots of little fish, but they were even more delighted to see several sea turtles! ✨

小さい子供と一緒だったので、小さい魚がいっぱいいるだけで喜んでいたのですが、海ガメが何匹も見れてさらに大喜びでした✨

I flew with a 7-year-old boy. Although we didn't weigh a combined 80 kilograms, they carried out the activity without any issues or questions. The child seemed to have a lot of fun, even though he was a bit scared. Be sure to prepare a tip of $10 or $20 to give at the end!

7歳の男の子と一緒に飛びました。二人合わせて80キロではありませんでしたが、特に聞かれることもなく問題なく実施してくれました。
子どもは怖がりながらもとても楽しかったようです。チップを10ドルか20ドルを最後に渡すので、用意しておきましょう！
