I've been to Kualoa Ranch a few times, but this was my first time doing the zipline! We were picked up at 8:30, and since our zipline session was around 11:30, we spent some time looking at souvenirs.

The zipline staff were very friendly and kind, and they helped us put on the harness quickly when we were a bit confused! The zipline was incredibly exhilarating when I let go of my hands, and I highly recommend it! At first, I was scared, but once I let go, the feeling of freedom was amazing, and the views were absolutely beautiful!

The staff spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't understand everything, but their charm came through, and I had a great time! Even after finishing all the courses, I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to do it again! I definitely want to participate again!

クアロアランチには数回行っているのですが、今回初めてジップラインをしました！
8時半ピックアップしてもらい、私たちは11時半ころからのジップラインだったので、それまでお土産を見たりして時間をつぶしていました。

ジップラインのスタッフの人たちはとってもフレンドリーで親切で、装着のハーネス（？）も戸惑いっていると手際よく付けていただけました！
ジップライン、手を離すのめちゃめちゃ気持ちよくてオススメです！
最初は怖かったのですが、思い切って手を離すと開放感がすごく、景色もとっても綺麗でした！
スタッフの人たちは全部英語で話してくれるので、全部は理解できないですがチャーミングさが伝わってきて楽しく過ごすことができました！
全部のコースが終わった後も、まだやりたいくらいとっても楽しかったです！
また参加したいと思います！

We were the last table to get the food, while many trays already empty and no deserts. When we wanted to have more food in second round, all trays were removed. We pay the same amount of money but we didn’t receive the equal service. Such a bad experience.

Monoa was a great friendly experience. Kids felt safe and comfortable. The crew was amazing, patient and very supportive. I would recommend for anyone with kids. We saw tons of fish, turtles and sea life.

It was a fun boat trip. The crews were all very friendly and helpful.

At first, I thought canoeing was completely impossible, but by the end, it felt like the last remaining canoe was inviting us to give it a try. I quickly paddled like a Viking, while my wife just managed to get the kayak into the water. Although she acted as a brake, we were able to return to the mother ship without capsizing. Thank you for the first experience of canoeing.

最初はカヌーなんて、とても無理と思っていましたが、最後に残っている一台のカヌーが、私たちに是非挑戦してみませんか？と語りかけてくれているように思え、、、、
私の方は直ぐに、バイキングのように漕げたが、家内は、カイを海にを入れるだけで、
ブレーキともなりながらも、転覆もせずに
母船に帰る事ができました。
初めてのカヌーの経験、ありがとうございました。

My wife and I participated in a 150-meter high course. I was a bit anxious about seasickness and the first-time experience of parasailing, but with assistance in putting on the equipment, I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We wore swimsuits and shared one bath towel. For valuables, I recommend only bringing a room key and about 60 dollars in a waterproof case for your smartphone. There are no lockers, and since there are other participants, you will have to leave your belongings behind while flying.

For an additional 40 dollars, they will take about 150 photos, including some great shots of Diamond Head and ones that make it look like you’re being eaten by sharks. The photos can be downloaded directly to your smartphone or saved on an SD card right there. At the end, they gently drop you into the sea, so you will definitely get wet!

On the day we experienced this, there were some clouds over the island in the morning, but from above, the scenery was quite magical and very enjoyable. By the way, the boat and the air can be quite bumpy due to the wind, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it’s a good idea to take some medication.

The captain and the assistant were fun and lively, so don’t hesitate to strike up a conversation with them. Since you’ve come all the way to Hawaii, the most important thing is to have fun. Definitely give it a try!

妻と２人で高さ１５０メートルのコースに参加しました。
船酔いや、初体験のパラセイルで不安でしたが、器具の装着も手助けがあり安心して体験出来ました。
服装は水着で、荷物はバスタオルを２人で１枚持ちました。
貴重品はスマホの防水ケースに入れたルームキーと60ドル程度のみがオススメです。
ロッカーなどはありませんし、他の参加者もいますので飛んでいる最中は置きっぱなしになります。
プラス４０ドルで１５０枚ほど写真を撮ってくれますし、ダイヤモンドヘッドやサメに食べられているような写真も上手に撮ってくれます。
写真はＳＤカードとその場でスマホにダウンロードしてくれます。
最後は海にゆっくり落としてくれますので確実に濡れます！

体験した日は朝イチで島には少し雲がかかっていましたが、上空からは逆に幻想的な風景でとても楽しめました。
ちなみに船や上空でも風で結構揺れますので酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いです。

キャプテンと補助のお兄さんは楽しく盛り上げてくれますので、思い切って会話してみてください。
せっかくハワイに来たのだから、楽しむのが１番です。
是非チャレンジしてください！

The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! SUP and kayaking in such beautiful scenery was the best! Snorkeling was also amazing, as I saw large fish and colorful fish that left me in awe! It became a very enjoyable memory!

とにかくスタッフの方々が明るく楽しかったです！とても綺麗な景色の中でのsupやカヤック最高です！Snorkelingも大きい魚や、色鮮やかな魚たちが見えて感動でした！とても楽しい思い出になりました！

It was a small group tour with only three groups. We were able to see dolphin spins and sea turtles, and it seemed like we snorkeled in a different location than usual, which was a valuable experience. I was especially glad to see the sea turtles up close. Our Japanese guide, Minako, was particularly attentive, which was very reassuring. Thank you very much.

3グループのみの少人数のツアーになりました。イルカのスピンやウミガメを見ることができ、シュノーケリングもいつもと違う場所でさせていただいたようで、貴重な体験でした。特にウミガメは近くでも見ることができてよかったです。日本語ガイドのミナコさんには特に気にかけていただき、大変心強かったです。ありがとうございました。

I was an English driver, and it was helpful that they tried to communicate using tools like Google Translate. Since we had five hours, we could snorkel for quite a long time. My husband didn't apply sunscreen because he thought it would wash off anyway, and he ended up with a terrible sunburn the next day, so I recommend taking proper precautions. (There is an announcement to use reef-safe sunscreen.)

英語ドライバーでしたが、
Google翻訳などを使って伝えようとしてくれて助かりました。
5時間あるのでかなり長時間シュノーケリングができます。
夫が日焼け止めはどうせながれるからとぬらなかったら、翌日酷く日焼けして大変だったので、しっかり対策することをおすすめします。(リーフセーフの日焼け止めにするようにアナウンスがあります)

I have a bit of a fear of heights, but I decided to make a reservation to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I was worried about whether I would understand the instructions, but the instructors were very friendly and communicated with me in simple English, so it wasn't a problem. I don't usually experience motion sickness, but after reading other people's experiences, I took some motion sickness medication just in case. The boat rocked more than I expected, so I was glad I took it. I asked for photos to be taken at the reception, and after the experience, I received the data and an SD card. The photos captured my surprised face when we took off and my happy face as I was immersed in the sea, and I’m glad I purchased them. Floating gently, I was able to slowly admire the beautiful sea and Diamond Head; it was a very beautiful and wonderful experience.

高所恐怖症気味ですが、せっかくのきれいな景色でと思い切って予約しました。説明など理解できるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方々も感じ良く、簡単な英語のみでコミュケーション取っていただけるので問題ありませんでした。乗り物酔いはほとんど経験がないですが、他の方の体験記を読んで念のため酔い止めを飲みました。船が思った以上に揺れるので、飲んでよかったです。受付の際に写真撮影をお願いし、終わってからデータとSDカードを頂きました。飛び立つ際のびっくりした顔や海に浸かる瞬間の楽しそうな顔が写真に残り、購入してよかったです。ふわふわと浮かびながら、きれいな海やダイヤモンドヘッドをゆっくりと眺めることができ、とても美しくて素敵な体験でした。

Incredible! The blue sea and the breathtaking panorama! I think it's something everyone should experience at least once! I want to experience it again next year.

とにかくすごい！の一言
青い海と絶景パノラマです！
1度は体験すべきだと思います！
来年もまた体験したいと思います。

The sea was murky and the visibility wasn't great, but it was amazing to see the underwater world that you can't usually experience. It seems the visibility is better in the morning. I wasn't sure when to start the Japanese guide, so if you could make that clearer, I think it would enhance the experience even more.

海が濁っており透明度は今一でしたが、普段体験できない海の中を見る事ができ最高でした。
午前中の方が透明度が高いようです。
日本語のガイドをスタートさせるタイミングが分からなかったので分かるようにしていただけるともっと楽しめると思います。

Clothes, shoes, and bags that can get dirty are essential. Since we were in a car, we could place the bags on the seat, but sand flew in while driving, so they got dirty. The reception and facility explanations were in Japanese, but during the buggy ride, the guide's explanations were in English. I didn't translate, but I understood the guide's explanations to some extent, and they asked if I wanted to take photos, so I was able to take a lot of pictures.

汚れてもいい服、靴、カバンは必須です。
車なのでカバンはシートの上に置けますが、走行中に砂が飛んでくるので汚れます。
受付や施設の説明は日本語でしたが、バギーの最中にガイドさんの説明は英語でした。
翻訳はしませんでしたが、ガイドさんの説明は何となく分かり、写真撮ろうか？と声をかけてくれるので、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。

You can see shipwrecks and airplanes, which is great for those who are not confident in snorkeling, as it allows you to safely view the seabed. You can also see fish clearly, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles or sharks. No matter which side you sit on, the boat turns alternately, so you can get a good view of the shipwrecks and other sights!

沈没船や、飛行機を見ることが出来て、シュノーケリングに自信が無い方には安全に海底を見れるのでいいと思います。
魚もしっかり見れ、運が良ければウミガメやサメも見ることができます。
左右どちらに座っても、交互にターンしてくれるのでしっかり沈没船等は見ることが出来ました！

Dinner tasted great. Portions were on the small side. Firework show was good, but everyone crowded to one side and it was harder to find a space to look. Lots of people, but still romantic.

It was fun! The service was great and I was excited! I want to improve my English skills and try again! There were surprises along the way! The scenery was amazing, and the guide was kind. I definitely recommend experiencing this when you go to Hawaii.

楽しかった！サービスもよくエキサイトしました！
もっと英語力付けてリベンジしたいです！
途中サプライズもあったりして！
景色はサイコーだしガイドさんも親切で、ハワイに行ったらぜひ体験してほしいです。

We participated in two activities, banana boat and bumper tube, with six people. Despite not speaking any English, the staff at the center used a translation app and were always smiling and kind, which we really appreciated. Both the banana boat and bumper tube were more exciting than we imagined, and we had a lot of fun! I did end up with sore muscles from the bumper tube, but it’s a good memory.

It became a wonderful page of fun memories in Hawaii.

バナナボートとバンパーチューブの2種類のアクティビティを6人で申込み参加させて頂きました。
英語を全く話せない中、センターの受付けの方も翻訳アプリを使用し、終始笑顔で優しく対応してくださり有り難かったです。
バナナボートもバンパーチューブも想像以上にエキサイティングで、とてもテンションも上がり楽しかったです！バンパーチューブで筋肉痛にはなりましたが笑これも良い思い出です。

ハワイでの楽しい素敵な想い出の1ページになりました。

I participated in a fishing tour six years ago and joined again after a long time. Unlike six years ago, services such as transportation, light snacks (I can't say for sure if drinks were provided, but I feel like there were some), and grilling the caught fish on-site to enjoy together have disappeared. Because of that, I thought I would be happy if I could catch even one fish. In the end, I didn't catch a single fish, but it didn't seem like the people around me were catching many either, so it might have just been a bad day. It felt more like a pleasant cruise with a view of Diamond Head. 😂

６年前にも参加して、久しぶりにまたフィッシングツアーに参加しました。
６年前と違い、送迎、軽食（ドリンクはあったか定かではないですがあったような気がします）、釣れたお魚をその場で焼いてみんなでいただく、などのサービスはなくなっていて、だからこそ、１匹でも釣れたらうれしいなと思いました。
結果は１匹も釣れずに終わりましたが、なかなか、周りの方もどんどん釣れている感じはなかったので、日が悪かったのかもしれません。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらの景色のよいクルージングという感じでした😂

We come back often from California and always have a luau at the Hilton . It’s fun, great story telling. Great performances and food! Highly recommend

I made a reservation for Wednesday after the park's closure, but I was really disappointed by the lack of fish. However, since both the ocean and the beach are beautiful, I think it’s worth going if you focus on enjoying the beautiful sea.

休園日後の水曜日に予約したのですが…凄く魚が少なくて残念でした。
ただ海もビーチも綺麗なので『綺麗な海を楽しむ』をメインにすると行く価値があるかと思います。

We had a good time bonding as a family, all the staff were very friendly and accommodating, even our bus transportation was smooth. We enjoyed most the banana boat ride and snorkeling. My husband took our video with a selfie stick while riding the banana boat and it was hilarious to watch all our faces! We went home with all smiles on our face. It’s worth what we paid for!

I signed up with my grandparents in their 70s. One great point was that the admission fee for Diamond Head was included. It took about 20 minutes to get from the hotel to the Diamond Head parking lot, and it took about an hour to hike up and around 30 minutes to come back down, giving us plenty of time to look at souvenirs. We also enjoyed the driver explaining the sightseeing spots during the ride!

70代の祖父母と申し込みました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料込みなのも良い点でした。ホテルからダイヤモンドヘッドの駐車場まで20分程度で到着し、行きは1時間程度、帰りは30分程度で下山することができ、お土産を見る時間も十分ありました。
車中では、ドライバーの方が観光スポットの説明をしてくれたのも楽しめました！

We participated as a couple with our child who is in the third grade. We chose a morning course in mid-June. The shallow area was indeed shallow, but for elementary school students, it was about 140 centimeters deep, so they couldn't touch the bottom at all. The shallowest part was just about reachable. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but it was very beautiful, and our child loved it. We rode together on a kayak as a group of four, sat on a paddleboard with just our child, and even let our child paddle alone while we held the rope.

The welcome food, donuts, seemed to be very delicious.

We participated in a set plan with a banana boat and an octopus boat, but the octopus boat was thrilling enough to be scary even for adults. (Next time, we probably won't participate.)

小学3.1年生の子供と夫婦とで参加。6月中旬午前中のコースを選びました。浅瀬は浅瀬でしたが、小学生は全く脚つかず深さ大体140センチ位。一番浅いところはどうにか着くかなぁといった深さ。天気は曇り時々晴れといった具合でしたが、とっても綺麗で子供も大絶賛。カヤックに4人で乗ったり、サップに子供と2人で座って乗ったり、はたまた子供のみ乗せて大人がヒモを持って子供1人でパドリングを楽しんだり。

ウェルカムフードとしてドーナッツもとてもおいしかった様子。

バナナボートとタコのボートのセットプランに参加したのですが、タコのボートは大人でも怖いくらいにスリル満点でした。(次はきっと参加しない)

It was my first trip to Hawaii and it was a great experience!

It was my first trip to Hawaii and it was a great experience!

I became interested through a media introduction. I participated with my elderly parents in their 70s, and it was enjoyable as long as you weren't the one paddling. We were able to experience the planned three waves. A professional photographer takes pictures, but I would have appreciated being able to easily use my own phone or camera.

メディアの紹介で興味を持ちました
70歳台の高齢両親との参加でしたが、漕ぎ手でなければ楽しく参加できました
予定の3回波のりを体験できました
プロのカメラマンが写真撮影をしてくれますが、自分の携帯かカメラを容易に使用できると嬉しいなと思いました

The captain and the crew were amazing! Best part was the sandbar and enjoying the view of the island.

Five out of the six groups were Japanese, but all six groups had a sense of unity and it was very enjoyable. This was likely because the staff were fun and friendly, and they always took care to communicate in simple Japanese and clear English while we were putting on our gear on the boat heading out to sea. The world above during parasailing was surprisingly calm. Next time, I want to try other activities as well.

６組中５組が日本人でしたが、６組全てのグループが一体感がありとても楽しかったです。
それはスタッフの方が楽しく友好的で、
海上へ向かうボート内で、装具を付ける際も、いつも片言の日本語とわかりやすい英語で気遣ってくれたからと思います。
パラセイリングの上空は意外にも穏やかな世界でした。
次は他のアクティビティも挑戦したいです。

The tide was just right for snorkeling. If the tide had been lower with the sandbar exposed, snorkeling would have been difficult. In addition to snorkeling, you can also experience SUP and kayaking. I wish I had tried SUP as well.

シュノーケリング目的だったので、潮位はちょうどよかった。サンドバーが出ている潮位だと、シュノーケリングは難しかったかな。シュノーケリングのほかに、SUPやカヤックも体験できます。ＳＵＰもやってみればよかった。

We participated as a couple in our 60s. The two young American staff members who took care of us were cheerful and engaged us in conversation in English. They prepared everything carefully, and before we knew it, we were launched into the air. The fear I had imagined was completely absent, and I was thrilled by the pleasant tension and the wonderful scenery.

夫婦２人(60代)で参加しました。担当してくれたアメリカ人青年2人は明るくて、英語でしたが色々話しかけてくれました。準備を丁寧にしてくれて、沖に出るあっという間に空中に放たれました。想像していた恐怖感は全くなく、ここち良い緊張と素晴らしい景色に興奮しました。

We used this service for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed a full hour of horseback riding, and the location was amazing. The horses were well-behaved, with gentle eyes that were just too cute! It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shaded areas, so it wasn't as hot as I expected, and we had a great time! I don't understand English at all, but they showed us a Japanese version of the explanation video, which made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this experience!

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で利用しました。
１時間たっぷり乗馬してロケーションは最高。お馬さんはいい子で優しい瞳で可愛いすぎた！
日差しが強い日だったけど日陰も多くて思ったより暑くなく楽しめました！
英語は全く分からないけど日本語版の説明動画も見せてくれて安心しました！是非体験してきてください
