We participated as a family. Before joining, I was a bit worried that the height might be scary, but it was fine. There are seven zip lines and two suspension bridges, and the total time, including travel, is about two hours with explanations in English. The shuttle service is shared with other tours from Kualoa Ranch, and once you arrive, you check in on your own. I wasn't sure about the return bus schedule, so I asked at the entrance reception. We were picked up after 7 and returned to Honolulu around 2 PM.

家族で参加しました。参加する前は、高さがあったら怖いかなとも予想していましたが、大丈夫でした。７つのジップラインと２つのつりばしがあり、時間は移動時間も含めて２時間ぐらいで説明は英語です。送迎は、他のクアロア牧場のツアーの人と一緒で、現地に着いたら自分で受付などをします。帰りのバスの時間がわからず、入り口の受付で聞きました。７時過ぎのピックアップでホノルルに戻ってきたのが、２時頃でした。

The main event of our trip to Hawaii is always interesting, as the route changes every time we come. This time, even though I just went horseback riding on the 27th, it was completely engaging, with new emotions and discoveries each time. I have had different horseback riding experiences in Japan and Hawaii, but so far, the freedom of riding without a lead rope here is the best. I still find it exciting, and when we plan our next trip to Hawaii, I will definitely include this activity in our schedule. It has brought so much joy to our family.

ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、毎回来るたびにルートが違ってとても面白いです、今回も、２７日、乗馬したばかりなのにまったく飽きさせず、その都度新しい感動、発見があります、日本やハワイでも今まで違う乗馬体験をしましたが、今のところ、引き綱なしの解放感乗馬ができ、ここが一番、まだまだ、飽きずに、またハワイ旅行を計画した際は絶対このアクティビティは外さず日程に入れます、それだけ私たち家族を楽しませてくれています。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I make sure to experience horseback riding. My grandchildren never get tired of it, no matter how many times we go. This time, we did encounter a little rain along the way, but I thought it was part of the experience. As we rode through the trees, we eventually reached a breathtaking spot where we could overlook Haleiwa Bay. While I had been feeling nervous about riding until then, my heart opened up completely. In our family, we have decided that Hawaii equals horseback riding, and we plan our schedule around it.

ハワイに来るたびに必ず体験しています。孫ともども何回乗馬しても飽きさせません。今回は途中で少しシャワーにあってしまいましたが、それもありかなっと思いました。木々の間を乗馬しながら突き進み、いつしかハレイワ湾を見渡せる絶景場所に来ると、今までドキドキしながら乗馬していたのに一変で心が開かれました。我が家では、ハワイ＝乗馬と決めて日程を組んでいます。

My first time in Hawaii. My first time with dolphins!
A friend recommended Dolphin University for swimming with dolphins, so I chose it.
The staff were lively and attentive, checking in with us during the swim, asking, "Are you okay?" which made the tour enjoyable and reassuring.
They explained the precautions in a fun way while being precise, so I was able to listen without getting bored!
I was also glad that I could do the SAP that I wanted!

One thing, it would have been better if the photographer's shutter timing was a bit slower. Some funny faces ended up being shared with the photo buyers, haha.

初めてのHawaii。初めてのイルカでした！
友人がイルカと泳ぐならイルカ大学がいいよと教えてくれ、選びました。
ノリのいいスタッフで、泳いでる最中も『大丈夫〜？？』と細かく気を使ってくださり、楽しく安心してツアーに参加する事ができました。
注意事項なども遊び心を交えながら、かつ的確に説明してくれるので、退屈せずに聞けました！
やりたかったSAPも出来たのでよかったです！

一点、カメラマンさんのシャッターのタイミングがもう少し遅いと良かったです。
変な顔が写真購入者に回ってしまうので笑

We participated as a family of three, including our 10-year-old daughter. It was our first experience, but there were friendly staff members who spoke Japanese, so we felt at ease enjoying the sky walk. While moving by boat, we were able to see sea turtles, and there was an option to have photos taken on an SD card for $30. Since our family wanted to ride together, we requested the photo service. After returning home and checking the card, we found about 80 beautiful pictures, including the scenery, and we were glad we made the request. Among the optional activities on this trip, it was the most enjoyable and affordable, so next time, I want to challenge the 150m option. I highly recommend this tour; you'll want to give a tip!

娘10歳を含めて家族三人で参加しまた。初体験でしたが日本語も話せる親切なスタックもいて安心して空の散歩を楽しむ事が出来ました。ボートで移動中にウミガメを見せて貰ったり、30ドルでSDカードに写真を撮って貰えるオプションが有ったので私達家族は三人同時に乗る為、撮影をお願いしました。帰国してカードを確認しましたが景色も含め、綺麗に80枚程入っておりお願いして良かったです。今回の旅行のオプショナルの中で安価なのに一番楽しかったので、次回は150mにチャレンジしたい思ってます。チップを渡したくなるおすすめツアーですよ。

The car was clean, and the guide provided a lot of information along the way. On the way back, we also toured downtown. We were able to see sea turtles, and the garlic shrimp from the restaurant they recommended was peeled and easy to eat. It was a pity that we had a short time to explore the town of Haleiwa, and I couldn't have Matsumoto Shave Ice. We enjoyed riding the horse for over 40 minutes. The local guide mentioned that the minimum age is 7 years and the height requirement is 4 feet 4 inches, so I was worried about the height, but even smaller children around 120 centimeters were properly adjusted and able to ride.

車もキレイで、ガイドさんが道中たくさんガイドしてくれて、帰り道はダウンタウンも回ってくれました。
ウミガメも見れたし、紹介してもらったお店のガーリックシュリンプは殻をむいてあり食べやすかったです。ハレイワの街の散策時間が短く、マツモトシェーブアイスが食べられなかったのが残念でした。馬はたっぷり40分以上乗れて堪能しました。現地の案内では7歳以上、4フィート4インチ以上書かれていたので身長が足りないと心配しましたが、120センチ程度の小さめな子でもちゃんと調整して乗せてもらっていました。

It was fun and we had a good time. However, the boat ride was not good and we got really sick due to extreme motion. We were so afraid to throw up on the boat or when we were up in the sky!

This tour was great for seeing movie sites and that's beautiful Ranch. But if you're looking for a little excitement and Adventure on your ATV this is definitely not the tour. You are not allowed to drive over 10 miles per hour. We enjoyed the tour. It just wasn't what we thought it would be.

After arriving at the location, I tried to make a reservation for the ZipLine at Kualoa Ranch, but it was fully booked until my return date. Just when I was in trouble, I found this ZipLine at Keana Farm online and was able to make a reservation through VELTRA. There were hardly any Asian guests besides us, and the English-only service heightened the overseas experience even more.

現地入りしたあとに、クアロア牧場のZipLineの予約をしようとしたら帰国日までなんと満席で予約できず。困ったところにこのKeana FarmのZipLineをネットで見つけて、VELTRAさん経由で予約できました。
自分達意外にアジア人客がおらず、英語のみの対応で海外気分がより高まりました。

Snorkeling in Hawaii for the first time.
With excitement and nervousness, as I entered the water, it felt like a different world.
There were big fish and colorful tropical fish!
When I fed them bread for bait, I was surrounded by many fish.
It's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime.

初めてのハワイにシュノーケリング。
ドキドキとワクワクの中で、
海に入るとそこは別世界。
大きいお魚や色とりどりの熱帯魚！
餌用のパンを与えると、
沢山の魚に囲まれていました。
一生の思い出です。

Swimming while searching for wild dolphins was a precious experience. My 9-year-old daughter was thrilled to see dolphins and sea turtles up close. I am grateful for the kindness of the staff towards my 4-year-old daughter as well.

野生のイルカを探して泳ぐ…貴重な体験でした。９才の娘はイルカと海ガメを間近で見て大喜び。４才の娘にもスタッフは親切で感謝です。

This cruise was the perfect length for those with children. Wesaw a turtle and a pod of dolphins!!! Our family was very excited and loved the snorkeling!! Very reasonably priced for this experience

We had a fabulous time on our snorkel sail. Loved the convenience of being able to walk to the boat launch, and the crew (including check-in personnel) were warm and welcoming. We were elated and surprised to be greeted by a pod of spinner dolphin as we sailed out off of Waikiki -- an unusual sight! -- and my kids were thrilled to watch them racing the boat. The snorkeling itself was great...not a ton of different types of fish, but we saw a half-dozen sea turtles and a couple of eels (COMPLETELY worth the trip). Our guides even found a small octopus for us to ogle!

Free snacks (chips) are provided, and water, beer, soda, and cocktails are available to purchase. They snorkel and mask they provided us were good quality with no issues. (No fins though, so if you have your own set you might want to bring them.) Highly recommended! We will be repeating the experience the next time we are on Oahu.

At North Shore, most of the riders were Westerners, and there were few Japanese people. I couldn't forget the horseback riding at Turtle Bay, so this time I decided to try the Hawaii Polo Club. This club trains retired polo horses for riding. The horse I rode was gentle and easy to ride. We set off with a group of six: four Western families, one solo Western rider, and me! It was a bit windy, but walking near the ocean was very pleasant. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't canter. It's about a 15 to 20-minute taxi ride from the town of Haleiwa towards Mokuleia Beach. Since there is no shuttle service, it's convenient to go by rental car. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.

ノースショアは、乗馬してる人は欧米人ばかりで、日本人は少ないです。タートルベイでの乗馬が忘れられず、今回はHawaii Polo Clubに行ってみました。ここはPolo競技を引退した馬を乗馬用に調教して乗せてくれるクラブでした。私が乗った馬も穏やかで安心して乗れる馬でした。欧米人の家族連れ4人とお一人様欧米人と私の6名で出発！少し風が強かったですが、すぐ側に海が迫っている場所を歩くのは、とても気持ち良かったです。駈歩はさせてくれないのが少し残念でした。ハレイワの町からタクシーでモクレイアビーチ方面に向かって15分〜20分位の場所です。送迎無しなのでレンタカーで行くの
が便利です。またハワイに来たら行きたいです。

I was exhausted, but it was a fun experience. I drank a lot of seawater, couldn't stand up while surfing, and got sunburned all over, but it felt like Hawaii!

くたくたに疲れたけど楽しい体験でした。海水いっぱい飲んだし、サーフィン立てなかったし、日焼けで真っ赤になったけどハワイ〜って感じ

My wife has experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch and was determined to go horseback riding when we visited Hawaii. My two grandchildren, aged 7 and 10, were experiencing horseback riding for the first time. Since Kualoa Ranch only allows participants aged 10 and older, we were able to join this tour.

At first, we received instructions on how to handle the horses, but I was worried and anxious about whether the horses would listen to us.

The instructor rode at the front, holding the reins of my 7-year-old grandchild's horse, while each of us handled our own reins for the other horses. Next in line were the horses ridden by my 10-year-old grandchild, my wife, and myself, followed by the horses of four other participants in the tour, and finally the instructor's horse, making a total of ten horses. We rode through the valley for about 75 minutes.

The horses were smart; they stopped when the horse in front stopped and moved forward when it did. We hardly needed to use the reins to guide our horses, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable riding experience with views of the valley and the North Shore ocean occasionally visible.

I want to express my gratitude to my wife, the organizers of this tour, and the staff at the ranch for providing my grandchildren and me with such a memorable experience.

私の家内はクアロラ牧場での乗馬経験が有り、ハワイに行くなら絶対乗馬はしたいとのことでした。私と７歳と１０歳の孫は初めての乗馬体験です。クアロラ牧場は、１０歳以上しか参加できないので今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。

最初は、馬の取扱いについて説明してもっらったのですが、馬がきいてくれるのか心配で不安でした。

インストラクターの方が馬に乗って先頭で、７歳の孫の乗った馬の手綱を持って、後の馬は各自で手綱をひきます（持つ）。次に１０歳の孫の乗った馬、家内の乗った馬、私の乗った馬、後同じツアーに参加された４名の方の馬、最後インストラクターの方の乗った馬の１０頭の編成で渓谷を７５分ぐらい乗馬出来ました。

馬は賢く前の馬が止まれば止まり、進めば同じように進みます。ほとんど手綱を使って自分の馬に指示することなく、渓谷と時折見えるノースショアの海の眺望など、快適な乗馬体験が出来ました。

私も、孫二人も今までにない思い出に残る経験ができたことに、家内と今回のツアーの主催者、牧場の方々に感謝したいと思います。

I accidentally booked a tour with an English guide and was worried, but both the guide and the driver were kind, and I had a very enjoyable time. I went up to 90 meters, which was a sufficient height to get a beautiful view of Waikiki. Many people seemed to give a tip of $20 for two people.

間違って英語ガイドのツアーを予約してしまい不安でしたが、ガイドの方も運転手の方も優しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
90メートルにしましたが、十分な高さで、ワイキキの街が一望できとても綺麗でした。
チップは2人で20ドル渡されている方が多かったです。

I participated in the underwater scooter, snorkeling, and sandbar activities, but the underwater scooter was the main focus, with snorkeling and the sandbar as waiting activities. At the sandbar, there wasn't much to do, and it felt both boring and cold, but I think many people felt it was better than getting seasick on the boat. I wish they would consider adding more content to the experience.

水中スクータとシュノーケリングとサンドバーの部妾に参加しましたが、水中スクータがメインで、待ち時間にシュノーケリングとサンドバーといった感じでした。
サンドバーでは特にすることがなく、暇なうえ寒いといった感じでしたが、船上にもどって酔うよりはマシといった人が多かったと思います。
もう少し内容を考えてほしいと思いました。

The surfing itself was refreshing and enjoyable, but there was hardly any explanation, and it ended after just two waves in about 25 minutes. It felt a bit overpriced for such a brief experience.

波乗り自体は爽快で楽しいものでしたが、説明もほとんどなく2回波に乗って25分ほどで終わりました.呆気なく割高に感じました.

This was my second time on the zip line! It was amazing! I want to go again so badly!

It started to rain (a downpour?) halfway through, and I got completely soaked, but it only lasted about 10 minutes before the sky cleared up again. Of course, I didn't have a raincoat or anything, so I was wet the whole time. It was so much fun that I thought, "Anything goes!"

However, there was a problem with the pickup location. Even though I arrived on time, it seemed like they decided I wasn't there right away, and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I had to call them to finally get picked up, which was good, but this happened both the first and second time, and it was really frustrating.

I would have appreciated it if they could have specified the location more clearly or called out names to help with the pickup.

If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!

ジップライン2回目です！最高です！
本当にもう一回行きたい！と思えほど最高です。

途中で雨(スコール?)が降って来て、びしょ濡れになりましたが、10分くらい降ってすぐまた快晴になりました。
もちろん、カッパなどはありませんので、ま濡れながらです。楽しいので、なんでもありって思っちゃいます！！

ただ、ピックアップの場所の指定が難ありです。集合時間に着いているのに、すぐ居ないと判断されたみたいで、30分経ってもずーっと待ちぼうけでした。
こちらが電話をしてなんとか、迎えに来てもらえたのでよかったですが、1回目も2回目もそんな状況で、本当に困ります。

もう少し具体的に、場所を指定してもらったり、名前を読み上げてもらったり、そんな対応をして頂けたらもっと嬉しかったです。

また行ける機会があれば、是非参加したいです！

We went for a premium tour with a large submarine (65 seats). The windows are large but tinted and the view is therefore less clear. Aided by loads of sand that cannot settle by so many submarines' tours during each day, the visibility is really low. The tour includes views of two ship racks and some airplane racks that turned artificial coral reefs. All of this is on a sandy bottom and there is no fish in between the racks. So overall, very little is seen really on those tours. I fully support the decision not to disturb the natural reefs and fish habitats but I think that the tour is overpriced for what one can see on this tour.

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.

This activity was okay. It was hard to see the dolphins when they did swim near us underwater because we had to wear life vests which kept us at the surface. The snorkeling in this side of the island(at least the part we were taken to)is not as good as other parts. The crew was nice and the food at the restaurant was good. I was not happy that one of our fellow passengers took one of our beach towels. They belonged to the condo we were staying in and I had to replace it.

The school was great. We caught lots of waves and Adam was a great instructor.

We had great time with our kids!!
Awesome! We have met sea turtles and my kids and nephews enjoyed very much.
And we had dancers and danced with a crew. lol
Thanks!

My son and his friends said this was one of their highlights, only second to renting scooters but they are just 21:). Thanks for making their time memorable!

We participated in creating family memories for my daughter's 10th birthday present. The morning pickup point was somewhat scattered, and our house was about a 7 to 10-minute walk away. The bus was comfortable, and the explanations from the Japanese instructor were very easy to understand, which was great. There were 45 participants that day, and since it was during summer vacation, there were 12 children under 12 years old.

When we arrived at the port, we quickly spotted dolphins on the stable Tamakalan boat, but perhaps because of the large size of the boat, we couldn't get close to the dolphins. Maybe the smaller Dolphin Junior boat is more maneuverable? We tried to enter the water ahead of the direction the dolphins were swimming, but since 45 people splashed in at once, the dolphins swam away, and we desperately swam towards them. During the first entry, I was able to catch a glimpse of them by closely following the instructor, but it was only for about 10 seconds. That day, instead of the usual two entries, we made three, but in the end, my daughter and husband couldn't see any dolphins... It turned into a disappointing memory.

However, the accompanying photographer was very cheerful and lively, which made it a lot of fun, but the photos he took cost $60 per group. We ended up spending quite a bit. Because we made three entries, we didn't have time for snorkeling, and we couldn't do any marine activities. I think our satisfaction would have been much higher if we had encountered the dolphins, so it's very disappointing.

For our family of four, including the photo costs, it came to 60,000 yen. I was aware that there was a possibility of not seeing them since they are wild animals, but it was very disappointing that we couldn't see them in the water even though we could confirm they were so close.

娘の１０歳お誕生日プレゼントとして家族の思い出作りに参加しました。
朝のピックアップポイントはざっくりと分かれており、我が家は徒歩７〜１０分歩いたところでした。バスは快適で、日本人インストラクターの方の説明がとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。この日は４５名の参加があり、夏休み中ということもあり１２歳以下の子供が１２人参加。
港に着くと、揺れの少ないタマカランボートに乗ってイルカはすぐに見つかりましたが、大きいボートのせいかなかなかイルカに近づけず。イルカ中学のボートのほうが小回りが利くのでしょうか？イルカが泳いでくる方向に先回りしてエントリーしましたが、４５人がバシャバシャ飛び込んだせいか、イルカが離れていってしまい、イルカのほうまで必死に泳ぎました。１回目のエントリーではインストラクターの後をすぐについていったのでちらっと見ることができましたが１０秒程度。この日、通常２回のところ、３回エントリーしましたが、結局、娘と夫はイルカを見ることができず。。。しょっぱい思い出作りになりました。
ただ同行していたカメラマンの方がとても陽気で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しかったのですが、撮ってくれた写真は１グループ６０＄。すっかり散財してしまいました。
３回エントリーしたことで、スノーケリングの時間もなくなり、マリンアクティビティもできずじまい。イルカと遭遇できていたら満足度が高かったと思うのですが、とても残念です。
家族４人で写真代をいれて６万円。自然のものなので会えない可能性があるのは承知の上でしたが、すぐそばに確認できたのに海の中で見られなかったことがとても残念でした。

I was disappointed when I requested arrangements from a travel agency at the last minute and was told it was too late. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to Veltra, and I managed to book a tour just in time. When I arrived at the destination, I went to the meeting point near the hotel. While waiting nervously among many tour participants, I spotted a bus with a sign for "Angel's Sea." After confirming the name, we headed to the boat dock. We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandy beach, where I snorkeled with many other Japanese tourists. After swimming for an hour, we went cruising to see turtles and encountered many of them. Finally, I put on fins and a life jacket to snorkel around the coral with children aged 6, 10, and 12. We were able to see tropical fish. The hamburgers they grilled for us at the barbecue were incredibly satisfying and delicious. I had a wonderful time and would love to go again.

旅行ギリで旅行会社へ手配依頼をするともう遅すぎると断られ、残念におもっていると知り合いからベルトラの紹介をお受け申し込み滑り込みセーフ。現地では、ホテル近くの集合場所へ行きました。沢山のツアー集客場でドキドキしながらまっているとバスに天使の海の看板を発見。名前を確認しいざ船乗り場へ。船に乗りサンドビーチに到着。沢山の日本人と一緒スノーケリング。1時間泳ぎ亀を見にクルージング 沢山の亀達に遭遇できました。最後は、足ヒレやライフジャケットと着込んで6歳、10歳、12歳の子供たちとサンゴ周辺のスノーケリングを体験。熱帯の魚達を見ることができました。バーベキューで焼いてくれたハンバーガーも肉圧がすごく食べごたえ十分。楽しいひと時を過ごせました。また、行きたい

I wanted to experience horseback riding in a breathtaking setting, so I visited Kualoa just for that. It seems that the routes for the one-hour course and the two-hour course are completely different. I participated in the one-hour course, but I can't help but wonder if the two-hour course offers even more stunning views. I felt that the one-hour course was a bit lacking. Since we just walked slowly behind the horse in front of us, I ended up feeling sleepy along the way. (Though it was pleasant in its own way...) If I have the chance next time, I definitely want to challenge myself with the two-hour course.

絶景の中で乗馬体験をしたいと思い、乗馬の為だけにクアロアを訪れました。
１時間コースと２時間コースでは、ルートが全く違うようです。
１時間コースに参加しましたが、２時間コースの方が絶景なのでは無いかと思いとても気になります。
１時間コースは、少し物足りなかった様な気がします。
ゆっくりと前の馬について歩くだけなので、途中で眠くなってしまいました。
（それはそれで気持ちよいのですが・・・）
次回があれば、是非２時間にチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

This excursion was one to definitely be remembered! A fun day is in store from the moment you leave the marina. The crew is full of fun people that are always making sure their guests are having a great time. The sandbar stop was fun filled with Hawaiian volleyball with the crew and other guests onboard. The lunch that was served before the reef snorkel was also great. At the private reef we saw a monk seal and also a ton of turtles and fish. We would love to do this trip again!
