I was surprised to see two tour buses at the meeting place, with people from various countries. However, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, and the guided tour was also in Japanese. We gathered at the meeting place according to the schedule for each plan, and we experienced a total of three activities. Visiting filming locations is definitely a must. It was fun to see places from Jurassic World and more, and the magnificent scenery is truly wonderful. It mentioned that those with cardiovascular diseases should be cautious, but everything except the zip line was manageable. Long pants aren't necessarily required (though they might be for horseback riding). Since it's primarily a ranch, there is some smell, but there are also many animals. However, the lunch buffet wasn't very good, so I give it four stars.

集合場所へ行くと観光バスが2台でびっくり。各国の人がいました。しかし日本語を話すスタッフがいて、ガイドツアーも日本語でした。いくつかのプラン毎に牧場内の集合時間に集合場所に集まって、全部で３つ体験しました。やはりロケ地巡りは外せないでしょう。ジュラシックワールドやら色々、楽しかったし、とにかく壮大な景色が素晴らしいです。循環器疾患があるとダメだと書いてありましたが、ジップライン以外は余裕です。長ズボンとかも別に不要です（乗馬は要るのかも）基本牧場なので臭いはしますが、動物もたくさんいます。ただ、ランチビッフェは美味しくなかったので星4つです。

This was great! The views are amazing and our guide Travis was wonderful! We would definitely do this again!

Horseback riding on the beach was fabulous. Beautiful and very relaxing. Our ride was 11/2 hours long which was just perfect. We wanted the sunset ride but it was booked, so reserve early. The horses are well groomed and cared for. Highly recommend this experience.

We participated as a family. At first, it was scary, but since we got used to the gentle course before moving to higher altitudes, we were able to enjoy it without anxiety. There was an instructor who spoke a little Japanese, which was helpful. It would have been even more fun if we could speak English.

Since there are times when you need to hold onto the equipment with both hands, it would be convenient to have a case to hang your smartphone around your neck. I think it would be concerning if you only had it in your back pocket and it fell out.

When we were there, there was water available, but unfortunately, there were no bananas or other fruits (not sure if they ran out?).

Overall, it was a fun and great experience.

家族で参加。最初は怖かったのですが、優しいコースで慣れてから高地に上がるので不安なく楽しめました。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターさんがいたので助かりました。
英語が出来たらもっと楽しかったでしょうね。
両手で器具につかまることもあるので　スマホを首からぶら下げられるケース等があると便利です。お尻のポケットだけでは　もし落としたら…と不安になると思います。
私たちの時は水はありましたが、バナナなどフルーツはなく（数が尽きたのか分かりません？）残念でした。

でも楽しくいい体験ができました。

I was satisfied with everything.
From the transportation to the service on the boat,
seeing the sunset and Waikiki from the sea, and finally even spotting a whale made for a very enjoyable time.
The staff's response was also wonderful.

全てに満足でした
送迎から船内でのサービス
夕日や海からのワイキキ、最後にクジラまで見れて、とても楽しい一時でした。
スタッフの方達の対応も素晴らしかったです。

I truly felt that participating was worthwhile. Before boarding, I requested some photos, and they took not only the overall shots of parasailing but also captured our expressions and the views from the boat, totaling around 90 photos. It's necessary to inform the staff and the captain that you'd like photos before boarding and before parasailing, but it's reassuring that you can decide whether to purchase them after returning to the office and viewing the photos. The cost for the photos was $30, and we gave the captain a total of $20 in tips for the four of us. It created the best memories!

参加してよかったと心から思います。乗船前に写真をお願いし、撮っていただきましたが、パラセイルの全体像だけでなく、表情、船からの景色も撮ってくださり、90枚程度撮っていただきました。乗船前やパラセイル前にスタッフや船長さんに写真が欲しいと伝える必要がありますが、事務所に帰ってきて写真を見てから購入の有無を決めることができるので安心です。写真代は30ドル、チップは4人で合わせて船長さんに20ドル渡しました。最高の思い出ができました！

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

I think Manoa Falls is wonderful, but the path to get there was steep. Perhaps it was due to the rain from the previous day, but most of the people coming down had muddy shoes, which made me a bit anxious as I climbed. However, rather than worrying about my shoes, I was focused on avoiding the mud and not slipping, so I ended up not having the leisure to enjoy the surrounding scenery. For a hiking beginner like me, it was a tough course.

マノア滝は、すばらしいと思いますが辿り着くまでの道が険しかったです。
また前日の雨の影響なのでしょうか。下りてくるほとんどの方の靴が泥だらけで少し不安を覚えながら登りましたが、靴を気にするよりも、泥濘を避けながら滑らないよう登ることに必死で結局、周りの景色を見る余裕すら無かった気がします。私のようなハイキング初心者には、キツイコースでした。

I didn't understand the guide's (Kaz's) explanations well, and I was just dropped off at the sea and left to my own devices. I spoke with a woman who was also on the same tour, and none of us really understood what was going on. The horseback riding was very enjoyable. However, the casual way of speaking and the overall lack of professionalism made it an unsatisfactory tour. I recommend not participating.

ガイドさん(カズさん)の説明がよくわからず、適当に海に降ろされ、野放しにされました。
同じツアーに参加していた、女性の方とも話し、全員がよくわかっていませんでした。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
しかしタメ語で話しかけてくる感じや、全体的に雑で、満足なツアーになりませんでした。
参加しないことをおすすめします。

This year, it seems there were unusually strong winds, and it was very cold (≧∀≦). I thought the sandbar would be shallower, but of course, the time of day matters, and I should have done proper research and made a reservation. The staff were very fun and wonderful people!

今年は例年になく？強風が吹いていたらしく、とても寒かったです(≧∀≦)
サンドバーではもっと浅瀬になるのかと思っていましたが、当然時間帯もあるわけで、ちゃんとリサーチして予約するべきでした。
スタッフはとても楽しい素敵な方達でした！

The instructors were lively and had great energy even early in the morning. I paid a $30 tip. I've heard that you might see whales and dolphins, so I think you can look forward to that.

インストラクターさん方のノリが良くて朝イチでもテンションアゲアゲでした。チップは$30払いました。クジラやイルカが見えるときもあるらしいので期待していいと思います。

I went to one of the many Adventures at Kualoa Ranch with my grandson. I took him to the Hollywood Movie Site Tour and we love it! My grandson is 5 years old and he loves dinosaurs and was so excited to see the Jurassic Park movie site, and believe it or not he was so excited to see the sign that appears on the movie. Also, all that bones and of course the dinosaurs. He was so happy!!!
For me was much more then I expected, everything was so beautiful and the lady who was guiding us, I think her name is Fono, wow ... she was awesome!
Everything was so beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot! I highly recommend it!

We had the most wonderful time yesterday at Kualoa Ranch! What a beautiful place, full of activities for all ages. My sister was visiting from Tennessee and we took her to the ATV Raptor Tour. We chose the one hour package, but trust us, one hour goes pretty fast, if you have the chance get the package for 2 hours, do it! It was absolutely unforgettable, the view, the sites, the adventure. The staff was very helpful and fun. When you come to Hawaii, make sure to hit Kualoa Ranch for the activities they offer!

We boarded the boat and set off for parasailing! I only observed from the boat while my two children experienced it. The captain and staff had great conversations and jokes, which made my observation really enjoyable.

The staff took care of all the preparations! Once we arrived at the starting point, they put on a harness-like gear and we started right away. There was a slight feeling of floating, but the breathtaking view in front of me quickly made any fear disappear. It was quite high. If you're afraid of heights, you might find yourself gripping the belt tightly, but if you're not, you can relax and let go with one hand!

I read that there was a possibility of landing in the water, so I wore a swimsuit, but I only got wet up to my butt, so I didn't get too soaked. However, it's definitely better to wear a swimsuit. It might depend on the season, but since it was early morning, it was quite cold. You can place your belongings at your feet, so it's a good idea to have something to cover up with.

Due to the weather and being the first ride of the day, by the time we returned to the port, I was able to wear a T-shirt and shorts over my swimsuit.

港から船に乗りいざパラセイリングへ！
私は船で見学のみ、子ども2人で体験してきました。船長、スタッフの方のノリの良い会話、ジョークも楽しく見学している私もすごく楽しめました。
準備はスタッフの方が決めてくれます！ハーネスっぽい装備をつけてもらってポイント地点に着いたらすぐにスタート。多少の浮遊感はありましたが目の前に広がる絶景にすぐに怖さも吹き飛びます。結構高いです。高所恐怖症だとベルトをひたすら掴んで硬直状態になりますが、そうでないなら片手を離してリラックスもできます！
海への着地の可能性ありと書いてあったので水着でいきましたが、お尻までボチャンと浸かるくらいであまり濡れませんでした。でも水着で行った方がいいです。ただ時期にもよると思いますが、早朝だったのでかなり寒かったです。荷物は足元におけるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいですよ。
気候と一番最初だったこともあり港に着く頃には水着の上からTシャツと短パンが着れました。

I was able to see sea turtles! Since it was the rainy season, the visibility was a bit unclear, but the weather was nice, the sandbar was very beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish! It became a great memory, and I'm glad I participated! The shuttle bus was cold, so a jacket is a must! There weren't many places to put luggage or eat on the boat since it was crowded. Those who were able to put their bags on the bench first had to eat standing up. Isn’t there too many people on one tour...? The staff were all cheerful and very nice!

海ガメが見れました！
雨季とゆうこともあり透明度は微妙でしたが、良い天気で サンドバーもとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見れました！良い思い出になり参加してよかったです！送迎は大型バス寒いです。
上着必須！船には人がたくさん乗るので荷物を置くところ、ご飯を食べる所があまりないです。最初にベンチに荷物を置けた人以外ご飯も立ったままでした。１回のツアーに人を乗せすぎでは…？ スタッフの方は皆さん明るく良い方ばかりでした！

Overall, I am really happy with the experience. I saw this activity online and booked it over the phone. The customer service was very nice and helpful especially when I needed to change our reservation to add more people on the trip. My friends and I really enjoyed the experience! Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable about the park. Would totally recommend to friends and family.

I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales in the distance. However, it was disappointing that towards the end of snorkeling, while I was in the restroom, my gear was put away, and I wanted to swim a bit longer.

イルカや亀、遠くでしたがクジラも見れました。ただシュノーケリングの最後の方でトイレに入っていたら、道具が片されてしまいもう少し泳ぎたかったのが残念でした。

There is another dinner cruise available, but since the hotel pickup is charged separately, I chose the Majestic, which includes the pickup fee. The hotel pickup was on time, which surprised me since it's usually late.

I was a bit concerned about the quality of the food with the free drinks, but I was satisfied with both the quantity and quality. The variety of drinks was comparable to business class.

Enjoying champagne and wine on the deck of the ship while gazing at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head is the ultimate luxury. We even got to see whales.

As it gradually got darker, the sight of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head bathed in the sunset made me truly feel like I was in Hawaii.

もう一つ別のディナークルーズがありますが、ホテル送迎が有料なので、送迎料込みのマジェスティック号を選びました。ホテルの迎えは定刻通りで、遅れるのが普通なので、びっくりしました。
フリードリンクで食事の質がちょっと心配でしたが、量・質ともに満足できました。飲み物もビジネスクラス並みにいろんな種類がありました。
船のデッキでシャンパンやワインを飲みながら、ワイキキ海岸・ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは最高の贅沢ですね。鯨も見ることが出来ましたよ。
だんだん暗くなって、ワイキキ海岸・ダイヤモンドヘッドが夕日に染まる光景は、ハワイに来たことを実感させてくれます。

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but my first time parasailing! Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I was able to walk directly to the meeting point. Since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I decided to challenge myself with the 150m height, and it was definitely the right choice! I kept rising higher and felt like we were the only ones up there, which was an amazing feeling. I wondered if this is how birds feel when they fly? It was so exhilarating!!!

They said it would last about 15 minutes, but I think we were actually in the air for about 7 or 8 minutes. It cost nearly $100, so I gave it four stars. There were about four other groups participating, but since we were the first to fly and headed out to sea, we could only see the ocean in front of us and had to turn back to see the view of Waikiki. I recommend boarding the boat last so you can fly facing Waikiki.

Also, if you ask, they will take photos for about $20, but I think it's fine to ask someone from another group to take your picture. Since we flew first, we didn't have time to ask, so we ended up not getting any photos, but the experience is etched in my memory!

ハワイ4回目ですが初のパラセーリング！
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊だったので徒歩で直接集合場所に行けました。
せっかくのハワイ旅行だし、ということで150mにチャレンジしましたが、これが大正解でした！
どんどん高く上がっていき、上空を私達だけで独り占めしてるようなそんな気分になれました^^
鳥ってこんな感じで飛んでるのかな？気持ちいいーーーーー！！！
と大興奮でした♪
15分？とのことでしたが実際に飛んでいたのは7.8分ほどだったと思います^^;
それで100ドル近くがかかったので星4つにしました。
ツアー客4組ほどと一緒に参加するのですが、私たちが一番最初に飛んだ時に沖に向かって進んでいたため、前の景色は海しか見えず、後を振り返りながらワイキキの景色をみないといけませんでした^^;
船に乗り込むのを最後にすると、ワイキキ方面を向いて飛べるのでおすすめです。
あと写真はお願いすれば20ドルくらいで撮ってくれますが、他のグループの方たちにお願いして撮ってもらう感じでいいと思います。
私達は最初に飛んだのでお願いする暇もなく結局写真は取れませんでしたが目に焼き付けました(笑)

I was picked up by bus at the hotel and departed from the bay near Hilton Village. It mentioned that towels were needed, but it was fine without them. You can also leave your valuables on the cruiser, so there's no need to worry.

It was drizzling a bit at departure, but once we got out to sea, it cleared up and we enjoyed beautiful weather!

The crew was friendly and engaged in conversation, which really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a lot of fun! Be sure to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and refreshing experience!

バスでホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、ヒルトン村のそばの湾から出発。
タオル必要と書いてありましたが、無くて大丈夫です。貴重品もクルーザーで置いておけるので安心してください。

出発時はパラパラと雨が降ってましたが、沖に出ると晴れ、快晴の中でした！

クルーの人が気さくに話しかけてくれ、雰囲気も盛り上げてくれるのでとても楽しかったです！
圧倒的な景色と爽快感を是非楽しんでください！

It was a wonderful experience in my life. sandbar is also unique site and unexpected view..I could see beach shore and fish from sea and stand on the sea!! how to imagine ? play volleyball on the sea
And english guider, singer, all crew are so nice and kind to be comfortable for us to enjoy activitie and bbq lunch tour.
I will absolutely recommend this captain bob's sanbar and snorkel tour to my friends and coworkers who plan to go on vacation in Hawaii.

Thanks.

I participated in an all-Hawaii cruise tour. I joined because I was longing to see the beautiful sandbars like in the pictures, but unfortunately, the water was deeper than knee-high... And above all, it was very cold since it was March. The snorkeling was quite chilly due to the low seawater temperature. However, the delicious BBQ lunch made up for those downsides! The tour guide was also very nice. When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely try to get my sandbar revenge with this company.

オールハワイ・クルーズのツアーに参加しました。写真で見るようなキレイなサンドバーに憧れての参加でしたが残念ながら膝丈以上の深さ、、、。そして何より3月ということもあり非常に寒かった。シュノーケリングも海水温が非常に低く凍える寒さ。しかしそのマイナス面を補ってくれるBBQランチの美味さ！！そして添乗員さんも非常に良い方でした。またハワイに行く際はこちらの会社でサンバーリベンジします。

Second time I have used this tour to get to and from Hanauma Bay. Especially a great value if you already have your own snorkeling equipment as you can take the price down a few dollars without equipment rental.

Go first thing in the morning and be ready to get into the water by 8am or earlier. That way you can snorkel without the crowds until the circus arrives around 10am. By then I had already gotten 2 full hours of relatively unspoiled pics of all that I wanted to take and enjoyed lounging on the beach until the pickup time.

It was an experience like no other, and I had so much fun! The captain and crew were kind and made it enjoyable, so I felt at ease taking on the challenge. I want to ride again!

今まで体験したことのない感覚ですごく楽しめました！
船長さんたちも優しく、楽しませてくれたので安心して挑めました。
もう一度乗りたいです！

This was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations
Highly recommend this to everyone
Views are fantastic
Staff are amazing
Will be back
VELTRA - is a great company to book through

I appreciated that the shuttle service to the hotel was included, and it was great that it was okay to be wet as long as I had a bath towel laid out. I chose the 150-meter option, and even as someone with a fear of heights, I was able to enjoy it. The local crew took beautiful photos with a single-lens camera, which made for even more memorable moments.

ホテルまでの送迎付きで、バスタオルさえ敷いていれば濡れていてもOKなのが有り難かったです。150メートルを選択しましたが、高所恐怖症でも楽しめました。現地クルーの方が一眼で綺麗に写真を撮ってくれたので、更に思い出になりました。

I was scared before it started, but it seems like I had fun when it was over. Now I want to try the 150m ride!

始まる前は怖がっていましたが
終わると楽しかったみたく
今度は150mに乗りたい言ってました^o^

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.

Exploring Oahu can be so much fun and Germaine's Luau is one of them! Mind you, I have been to mostly all the Luaus on the island but not for Germaine's. I was only convinced to try when many of my "social media" friends were posting and saying good things about it.
I'm a local resident here, and three of my friends from the mainland came to visit so we decided to join the Luau. They took the bus transportation from Waikiki provided by Germaine's and I drove to meet them there. I checked-in half hour early which gave me ample time to explore around the area and take photos. It’s actually a very nice place! Beautiful private beachfront setting with a view of the spectacular sunset!
We ordered the Hibiscus Package which included 3 drink tickets that I was given immediately at the time of check-in. We had a nice center seating section, which provided a better viewing of the Polynesian entertainment. On our way to the bar and to the buffet line, my friends and I decided to leave our sandals under our bench table and went barefoot through the sand because it was difficult to walk in. It was still a fun night, your feet touching the sand makes it a unique Luau experience.
Their drinks..I think their cups are small but since I got 3, it was just good enough for me! The food was delicious, and lots of Polynesian entertainment! All of my expectations were met. Definitely recommended.

Out to sea by boat! At a distance of 150 meters, we went up and up, but without any fear, and we even saw whales. It was the best eight minutes. I participated in a one-piece swimsuit, but I didn't get wet and landed safely on the boat! The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! Thank you very much.

ボートで沖に！150ｍ選択で、上がる、上がる、
でも怖さ無く、鯨も見えて、最高の８分間でした。
ワンピースで参加しましたが、濡れず、
ボートに無事着地！スタッフさんも陽気で楽しかった！
ありがとうございました。
