We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.

We participated as a couple, and even without speaking any English, we had no problem enjoying ourselves! The staff, including the transportation team, were very friendly! For those who are a bit anxious, here are some recommendations:

1. If you're worried about the language barrier! The Google Translate app is very useful.

2. If you're concerned about getting seasick! I recommend BONINE (motion sickness medication), which is sold at ABC Store!

I had a great time.
It was a one-hour electric-assist mountain bike tour, and the hour flew by.
The explanations were in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can get the gist from the video visuals.
Since it's electric, you can ride smoothly and it's really enjoyable.
However, the trails are steep, and because of the fast pace, it does require some stamina.

Aside from the biking, the waiting time after arriving at Kualoa Ranch and after the activity was quite long.
There is a souvenir shop, but we finished looking around sooner than expected, so we ended up napping on a bench.
I wish we could have used our time more effectively.

とても楽しかったです。
1時間コースの電動アシスト付きマウンテンバイクツアーでしたが、あっという間の1時間でした。
説明も英語ですが、英語が分からなくてもビデオの映像見ながらの説明なので何となくわかります。
電動だから爽快に走れるし気持ちいいです。
でも険しい道なこと、進んでいくスピードが速いから体力は使います。

自転車以外はクアロア牧場に到着してからと、アクティビティが終わってからの待ち時間がとても長かったです。
お土産のショップはありますが、案外すぐに見終わってしまうので、私たちはベンチで昼寝をしていました。
もっと時間を上手に使えたらよかったと思います。

Several acquaintances have had bicycle accidents in Hawaii, so I suspected that the front and rear brakes might be reversed compared to Japan, and I was right. In Japan, the right lever is for the front brake and the left lever is for the rear brake, but in Hawaii, it's the opposite. The key is to be very aware of that and to apply both brakes simultaneously.
However, the activity was fantastic! Next time, I want to try horseback riding!

知り合いが複数、ハワイで自転車転倒事故起こしているため、もしかしたら前輪後輪ブレーキが日本と逆ではないかと予想していたら、図星でした。日本では右→前輪、左→後輪ですが、ハワイは逆でした。ポイントはそこを強く意識しながら両方同時にブレーキ掛けることです。
でも、アクティビティは最高でした！こんどは乗馬にチャレンジしたいです！

I had a great time.
Billy and the driver explained many flowers and trees, and I was able to see Hawaiian culture.
It was very interesting.
The lunch was also delicious.
With Billy and the team from Nature & You, I would love to enjoy a tour around Hawaii next time.

とっても楽しかったです。
ビリーさんとドライバーさんの2人で
たくさんの花や木を説明してくれて、ハワイの文化も見れました。
とっても面白かったです。
お弁当も美味しかったです。
ネイチャー&ユーのビリーさん達のコンビで、次回はハワイ一周などを楽しみたいです。

You read the description of the tour first and now you want to make sure it's worth it.... Sandbar, volleyball, basic but tasty lunch (charcoal grill), turtle and manta spotting, and then snorkeling a coral reef. Is this something you want to do, surrounded by natural beauty?

Stop reading reviews and book the trip.

We did this tour on a rainy, windy day in 2018 and loved it! We came back and did it again in December 2019 and had a warm, sunny day and lucked out with really good visibility. The coral reef is just that; when you're underwater the live corals extend much beyond what you can see. It's not just a single live colony every once in a while like Hanauma. Where one huge colony/color/texture ends, others begin. That's what I wanted to see and this tour lets you get plenty of time in the water. The crew is always enthusiastic about the experience, has lots of fun themselves, and is highly attentive to passengers. We'll absolutely be back for a 3rd time.

Mahalo Captain Bob's crew!

The weather wasn't very good, and the water was a bit high and cold, but I had a great time! The snorkeling was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see fish and even a sea turtle! The hamburger was also very delicious. The staff were all wonderful, and I would like to participate again on a sunny day when I go back to Hawaii.

天気があまり良くなかった日で、水が高めで寒かったですが、、充分楽しめました！！
シュノーケリングも綺麗に魚が見え、ウミガメも見れたので満足です！
ハンバーガーもとっても美味しかったです☆
スタッフの方もみんな良い方でまたハワイに行く際は天気のいい日に参加したいと思います♡

The dolphin teacher swam slowly, and we were able to swim together for a long time! I couldn't believe how long the turtle professor stayed in the same spot; it was truly mystical. I enjoyed the activities, and I even saw a rainbow, making it a very satisfying tour.

イルカ先生がゆっくり泳いでくれて、たくさんの時間一緒に泳ぐことができました！
カメ教授もあんなに長い時間同じところにいてくれるなんて信じられないくらいに見ることができて、神秘的でした。
アクティビティも楽しめたし、虹も見れて大満足なツアーでした。

The hula dance show right in front of us was very powerful and absolutely worth watching. My family was also very satisfied. I would love to see a hula dance show again when I visit Hawaii.

目の前でのフラダンスショーはとても迫力があり、見ごたえ満点でした。
家族も大満足でした。ハワイを訪れた際はまたフラダンスショーを観に行きたいです。

I was able to see a lot of dolphins, just as the tour title promised! It takes about an hour by bus from the city to the port, but it can be quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to prepare some medication. Also, they recommend using sunscreen that does not contain ingredients harmful to coral. Everyone on the tour was cheerful, and we had a great time on the boat.

ツアーのタイトル通りたくさんのイルカに会えました！
市内から港まではバスで約一時間ですが結構ゆれるので車酔いする方は酔い止めを準備したほうがよいです。
また日焼けどめは珊瑚を傷つける成分がないものをとのことです。
ツアーみなさんが明るく、船上でも楽しく過ごせました。

Group of all rookies. Zip crew was extremely welcoming and professional. If this is your team you are in excellent hands. Encouraging and entertaining while maintaining a confidently safe atmosphere. Sincerest Mahalo to Corene, Kiana and Becca. I hope to return soon and do it all again. Truly one of the best days of our entire trip!

I participated alone, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. If possible, I would like an additional 30 minutes for free exploration of the town.

The main horseback riding experience has an excellent location, and the higher price compared to other companies results in greater satisfaction.

自分だけ一人参加でしたが、ほとんど気兼ねはいりませんでした。
出来れば町並みの自由散策があと30分欲しいです。

メインの乗馬はロケーションが抜群で、他社より高い分満足度が高いです。

BBQ lunch included.

The lunch service was inefficient, and we were able to get the last portion after about 15 minutes before moving on. I hurriedly ate. It's definitely something you should experience at least once, but the weather is really important.

BBQランチ付き

ランチの配膳が　能率が悪く　最後がもらえて　1５分間くらいで　移動が再開
慌てて　食べた　　　一度は　体験すべきですね　ただ　天候重要ですね

My son had a phenomenal time and can’t wait to go again. I have issues snorkeling but I was hopeful I wouldn’t have issues with this. Let’s just say I am extremely thankful that I did it once and that the staff was so very patient and helpful with people like me (who have water issues). I can’t say enough about how great the people are who work this tour and everyone should do it (at least once)

There are many video introductions for ziplining at Kualoa Ranch, but this time I went to Coral Crater Adventure Park.

It's an affordable course where you walk around to different locations throughout.

It's easy to take videos, so there were quite a few people filming with their smartphones.

Make sure to use insect repellent! Maybe more flies than mosquitoes?

ジップラインは、クワロアランチの動画紹介が多いですが、今回はCoral Crater Adventure Parkに行ってきました。

手頃なコースで、終始歩きで場所を変えていきます。

動画は取りやすいので、結構スマホで撮影している人が多かったです。

虫除けはしっかりと！蚊より蝿？かな。

Since dinner was light, I was able to focus on the sunset, which was quite nice! The tour guide was cheerful, and the service was excellent. It was a fulfilling two-hour tour! I would love to participate again next time!

夕食が軽食なため夕日に集中でき、
かなり良かったです！！
ツアーの方も陽気でサービスも
ばっちりでした。
充実した2時間ツアーでした！！
また次回も参加したいツアーです！

Last year, I experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, and this year I challenged myself with ziplining. I was worried that the hike to the zipline starting point would be tough, but it wasn't too bad. There were three staff members accompanying our group of eight participants, and they engaged us in conversation, making us laugh and feel at ease. The ziplining itself was not scary at all. The exhilaration of zipping through the trees made me want to do even more after finishing the seven lines. I heard it can get crowded and you might have to wait, so I hoped for a 9 AM start, but the hotel pickup was at 6:50 AM, which was a bit tough. Still, it was an amazing activity.

去年はクアロアランチで乗馬を経験、今年はジップラインに挑戦。ジップライン出発地点までの山登りがきついのかと心配しましたが、それほどでもなく我々参加者8人にスタッフ3人がついてくれ　いろいろ話しかけて笑わせてくれ和ませてくれました。ジップラインはまったく怖くなく。木々の間を駆け抜ける爽快感で7本を終わって　まだまだやりたい気分でした。混むと待たされると聞いたので　朝9時を希望したのですがホテルピックアップが6時50分と早かったのがちょっと辛かったかな＿でも最高のアクティビティでした。

To ride the four-wheel buggy, you need to make a reservation for at least two people. I made a reservation for two, but my companion couldn't participate due to health issues, so I had to join alone. However, when I explained the situation at check-in, they kindly allowed me to participate solo.

Driving the buggy through the vast grounds of Kualoa Ranch was quite enjoyable, and at one point, we stopped at the filming location of Jurassic Park, where the guide took photos for us.

Also, driving the buggy can get quite dusty from the vehicle in front, so if needed, they provide free masks and also lend protective eyewear, so I recommend taking precautions.

四輪バキーに乗るには２人以上でないと予約出来ず、２人分の予約をしたのですが、同乗者が体調不良で参加できず、止む無く１人で参加しましたがチェックイン時に事情を説明したところ、特別に１人でも参加させて頂きました。
クアロアランチの広大な敷地をバキーで走行するのは結構楽しいもので、途中ジェラシックパークの撮影地などは降車してガイドさんが写真撮影してくれます。
なおバキーの運転は、結構前車からの砂埃を被るので、必要なら無料でマスクをくれますし、アイプロテクトグラスも貸してくれますので対策をした方がいいと思います。

The content of the cruise was excellent. The food was delicious, and there were plenty of highlights like music and dance events. However, the ship rocked more than I expected, and my companion got seasick, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are sensitive. That said, I am very grateful for the staff who were very caring.

However, on the return bus, when my companion and I, who were feeling unwell, boarded last and found there was no available space, I tried to ask the bus driver for help. He pointed to the front seat in a way that seemed annoyed and told us to sit down quickly as if he didn't care.

Despite my companion's seasickness, I was overall satisfied with the experience, but that one comment ruined my mood and made me feel it was all for nothing, so I had to give a low rating. The only negative point was that the driver seemed to be chatting happily with other staff and showed a selfish attitude, lacking the hospitality expected from staff.

クルーズの内容は最高でした。ご飯も美味しく、音楽や踊りのイベントなど見どころ満載でした。
ただ思ったより揺れがひどく、連れが船酔いしてしまい、弱い方はお勧めしません。ただ、スタッフの方が親身になってくださり、大変感謝しています。
ですが、帰りのバスにて、体調の悪い連れと共に最後に乗り込んだところ空いているスペースがなく困っていた際に、バスの運転手に助けを求めようと声をかけたところ、面倒くさそうに一番前の席をさしてどうでもいいから早く座れと罵声を浴びせるかのように言われました。
連れの酔はあったものの、全体としては満足な内容だったのにその一言で気分が害され、全て台無しになったので、最低評価をつけさせていただきました。その運転手は他のスタッフとは楽しそうに談笑しており、自分勝手で客をもてなす姿勢が感じられない最悪なスタッフがいたことが唯一の悪かった点です。

Since we had children with us, we chose a five-person buggy, and we had a great time. The children's reactions were a bit mixed, but we were able to feed cows along the way, and above all, we enjoyed the natural beauty of Hawaii. I definitely want to visit again when they are old enough to ride horses.

子供がいたので、５人乗りバギーにしたのですが、とても楽しむことができました。子供の、反応は微妙でしたが、途中で牛に餌をやることができたりなによりハワイの自然を満喫することができました。また乗馬ができる年齢になったら是非訪れたい場所です。

I participated with my mother. Swimming with dolphins is a rare experience, so we decided to go for it. We were in a group of about eight people, and everyone, regardless of age, seemed to be smiling and having a great time. The instructors provided support, so my mother, who hadn't swum in 30 years, was able to join in with confidence. This became the best memory of our trip. We also got to see sea turtles up close, which was a lot of fun.

母と2人で参加しました。イルカと泳ぐなんて、中々出来ない経験なので、思い切って申し込みました。8人ほどのグループで体験しましたが、どの世代の方たちも、みんな笑顔で楽しそうにしていました。インストラクターの方々がサポートしてくださるので、泳ぐことが30年ぶりの母も安心して参加できました。今回の旅で1番の思い出になりました。ウミガメを間近で見ることもでき、とても楽しかったです。

We participated as a family.
It was an experience we can't usually have, running around in nature.
We could wade through the river and go through muddy paths, which made us feel carefree.
If you go too fast, you'll end up splashed with muddy water, so it seems like wearing clothes that can get dirty would be a good idea.

家族で参加しました。
自然の中を走り回るので普段はできない体験ができました。
川の中を進んだり泥道を通ったりと無邪気な気分になれます。
スピードを出し過ぎると泥水を被ることになるので汚れても問題ない格好が良さそうです。

At 65 years old, I can still actively enjoy mountain bike tours. Also, my first kayaking experience was very enjoyable.

65歳を迎えた、いまでも、マウンテンバイクツアーがアクティブに楽しめた。また、初めてのカヤックがとても、面白かった。

I was satisfied because I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles. I think it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to participate.

イルカやウミガメも見れたので満足です。年齢を問わず楽しめるのではないかと思います。
また機会があれば、参加したいと思いました。

This activity is recommended for those who have a certain level of confidence in swimming. The dolphins were swimming at an incredible speed, whether it was due to their wild nature or just that day, so the instructor guided us. However, if you leisurely follow behind the instructor, you won't get to see the dolphins. It felt more like we were searching for the dolphins rather than swimming with them. We swam with all our might multiple times and ended up completely exhausted. It was a different dolphin experience than we expected, but for my active husband and me, it was enjoyable.

ある程度泳ぎに自信のある方にオススメのアクティビティです。野生やからかその日たまたまかイルカはすごいスピードで泳いでいるので、インストラクターの方が誘導してくれますが、インストラクターの後ろに悠長についていったらイルカは拝めません。笑　一緒に泳ぐというかイルカを探しにいくって感じ。全力で何度も泳ぎ、クタクタになりました。予想とは違うイルカ体験ではありましたが、アクティブな私たち夫婦にとっては楽しかったです。

I was really looking forward to parasailing. It had been postponed several times due to bad weather, but finally, I was able to fly this time.

Mr. Yano, who came to pick me up, made the car ride lively with his funny Japanese.

Since we departed from the harbor next to the Hilton, it's very close if you're staying at a hotel around Waikiki, which is great.

Putting on the harness made me nervous, but once I took off, it felt amazing. It was truly like a walk in the sky! I felt like a bird.

I plan to sign up for this every time I go to Hawaii in the future. I hope to see Mr. Yano again.

Thank you very much.

とても楽しみにしていたパラセイリング。これまで何度も天候不良などで、遂行されず、念願かなってやっと今回は、飛ぶことが出来ました。
お迎えに来てくださった「やのさん」面白い日本語を使いながら、車内を盛り上げてくれました。
ヒルトンのお隣のハーバーから出港なので、ワイキキ周辺のホテルからなら、非常に近くて良いですよ。
ハーネスを付けるとドキドキしますが、飛び上がってしまえば、最高に気持ち良いです。まさに空中散歩！鳥になった気分でした。
今後も、ハワイに行く度に、申し込む予定です。
また、「やのさん」に会えるといいな。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and I thoroughly enjoyed the mountain bike tour! Surrounded by nature, I was able to refresh both my mind and body with the fresh air and pleasant sea breeze!

天候にも恵まれ、マウンテンバイクツアーを満喫！大自然の中で、爽やかな空気と気持ち良い海風で心も体もリフレッシュできました！

I have been to Hawaii over ten times, but this was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch. I thought a two-hour horseback ride might be long, but I decided to book it since I felt two hours would be necessary to see places like the filming locations of Jurassic World. My horse was very gentle and well-behaved. There were some horses that started eating the grass by the roadside and stopped along the way. (I realized this is what "taking a detour" really means.) Experiencing the grandeur of Kualoa Ranch was amazing, and I was moved to think that they filmed Jurassic World and King Kong here. However, I must say that after two hours of riding, my backside was quite sore.

ハワイには10数回行きましたがクアロアランチには初めて行きました。2時間の乗馬は長いかなと思いましたが、ジュラシックワールドの撮影地などを見て回るには2時間は必要かなと思い予約しました。私の馬はとても素直で大人しく良い子でした。中には途中で道端の雑草などを食べ始めて止まってしまう馬がいました。（これが本当の「道草を食う」と分かりました。）クアロアランチの雄大さを体感し、ここであのジュラシックワールドやキングコングを撮影したんだと感動しました。さすがに2時間の乗馬は最後にお尻が痛かったです。

I had a great time at the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. The duration of the stay was perfect, and I have no complaints!

サンドバー、ウミガメウォッチ、シュノーケル全てにおいて楽しかったです。滞在時間も絶妙で言うことありません！

I had reserved a seat in the front, but in reality, I had a great view from the third row. It was a seat directly in front of the stage, which was wonderful. I received a fresh flower lei and had a great time. Since the seats are not assigned, it seems you can sit in the front if you arrive early. Be careful of the pigeons wandering around your feet; you might accidentally step on them.

前の方の席を予約していたのですが、実際、3列目でよく見えました。舞台の真正面の席で、良かったです。生花のレイをかけてもらえ、楽しい時間を過ごせました。席は決まっていないので、早目に行くと前に座れるようです。鳩が足元をうろうろしているので、足元に注意が必要です。踏みつけそうになります。
