I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.

The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊

We participated as a couple. It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean, just a short distance from the port to the sandbar. The afternoon snorkeling was wonderful as we could enjoy the corals and many fish. The guides and staff who spoke Japanese were cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。サンドバーまで港からすぐで海の真ん中に立ってられるのが不思議でした。午後のシュノーケルでもサンゴやたくさんの魚を観賞できて素晴らしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんやスタッフの方々も明るく楽しめました。

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

All the years I've been coming to Oahu, I've never done anything like this excursion! Best money spent on a family outing. It was majestic! The live music was beautiful, the lunch was outstanding! The crew and captain were so friendly and really made you feel included and very welcome, like a trip out with old friends. I cannot say enough about how special and memorable this trip was. Core memories built! Thanks you so so much Kbos! Special shout out to Braddah From our hometown of Vallejo Ca.! Do yourself a favor and just go!

I experienced the new attraction Xplore Ride, which was also introduced at HIS events.

I participated from the afternoon of my arrival day. Since I arrived in Hawaii in the morning and couldn't check into the hotel until the afternoon, it was a nice point that I could join during the free time. The tour departs from Royal Hawaiian Avenue next to DFS. I was worried about getting lost, but the large bus with a blue ocean illustration caught my eye, and I was able to find it right away. There are also lunch spots nearby, like Aloha Table and Sticks, making it convenient to join before or after lunch.

After telling my name and boarding the bus, I took my designated seat. I heard that the bus is a brand new custom vehicle for this tour! The ride was comfortable, with luxurious seats. Before departure, a staff member provided an explanation. Following their instructions, I put on the VR goggles that were prepared at my seat, and I immediately saw a language selection button in front of me. When I reached out, I pressed the selection button, and it switched to Japanese mode. They mentioned that it uses AR technology to overlay real-world images with virtual space, and MR technology that connects the virtual world with the body, which made me excited for this first-time experience.

Once the headset and language settings were complete, the tour started. The bus route goes around Diamond Head and returns, and it wasn't a long ride. I was worried about feeling dizzy due to lack of sleep, but I was able to enjoy it without any issues until the end.

During the tour, a guide named Manta appeared. He shared various attractions of Oahu and information about Hawaii. The experience of reaching out and connecting with the virtual space, where dolphins and fish appeared from Waikiki Beach, and scenes where I completely entered another world were filled with many creative elements that kept me engaged. There are many highlights, but I’ll refrain from spoilers. Please be sure to experience it for yourself!

The duration of the tour is easy to participate in. I highly recommend it for both enhancing your knowledge of Hawaii and enjoying a new experience! Thank you!

HISさんのイベントなどでも紹介されていたXplore Ride。気になる新アトラクションを体験してきました。

私は到着日の午後から参加しました。ハワイの到着は現地午前中、ホテルは午後までチェックインができないので、あいた時間に参加できるのは嬉しいポイントです。
ツアーはDFSの横、ロイヤルハワイアン通りから出発します。迷わないか心配でしたが、海の青いイラストが書かれた大きなバスがアイキャッチになり、すぐに「これだ！」と見つけることができました。近くはアロハテーブルやスティックスなどランチ所もあるので、ランチ前後の参加も便利そうです。

名前を伝えてバスに乗ったら、指定の席に座ります。バスはこのツアー特注の新車とのこと！乗り心地も気持ちよい、高級感あるシートでした。
出発前に係の方から説明があります。いわれるがまま席に準備されたVRゴーグルを装着すると、既に何やら言語選択のボタンが目の前に。手を伸ばすと選択ボタンが押され、日本語モードになりました。現実世界の映像と仮想空間が重なるAR技術、バーチャル世界と体が連動するMR技術とのことですが、始めての体験に既にワクワクです。

ヘッドセット、言語セットが完了したら、ツアースタート。バスのルートはダイヤモンドヘッドを一周して戻ってくるコースで、そこまで長時間ではありません。寝不足でデジタル酔いが心配でしたが、最後まで問題なく楽しむことができました。

ツアーでは案内役のマンタが登場。様々なオアフ島の魅力やハワイ情報を教えてくれます。手を伸ばしてバーチャル空間と繋がる体験、ワイキキビーチからイルカや魚が現れたり、完全に異世界に入るシーンもあり、飽きさせない工夫がたくさんでした。見どころは色々ありますが、ネタバレになるので、控えておきます。是非実際に体験してみてください笑

気軽に参加できる所用時間。ハワイの知識を補強できる意味でも、新しい体験を楽しめる意味でも、おすすめできる内容でした！ありがとうございました！

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a great time. I'm not very good with the feeling of floating on roller coasters, but this was just pure fun without that sensation!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたがとても楽しむことができました。ジェットコースターの浮遊感がとても苦手ですが、これはほぼ浮遊感なくただただ楽しいです！

I went parasailing for the first time in my life. I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and blue sky from 150 meters up. Just before taking off, I was nervous, but during the flight, it was quite stable, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while chatting with my wife. The staff were also playful, which made me very satisfied!

人生で初めてパラセーリングをしました。
美しい海と青い空を150メートルから堪能できました。飛ぶ直前はドキドキしましたが、飛行中はかなり安定しており妻と色んな話をしながら景色を楽しめました。
スタッフの方もお茶目で満足です！

The boat ride to the sand bar was amazing , you get to view the beautiful bay of Kaneohe . The staff was amazing , they knew exactly how to welcome first timers , the food was so delicious, I’m not a hamburger dude but this hamburger was so delicious, it was served with my favorite pork and beans , great meal to hold you off through the tour .

I participated in the event in Hawaii for four days, and unfortunately, it was raining heavily that day, so I thought it might be canceled. However, by the time we were supposed to start, the rain had stopped, which was great. But during the trail, it started raining again, and I had to wear a raincoat to climb.

I'm not good at climbing, so I walked slowly, and I felt both grateful and sorry that everyone was waiting for me. However, I managed to reach the summit, and it was very fulfilling. I think it's more enjoyable to climb with a guide who explains various things along the way rather than just climbing.

On the way back down, I think having a walking stick would make it safer. For lunch, we were provided with very delicious sandwiches, and we also got to visit Tantalus, which is not easy to access on your own. It was a very fulfilling half-day. Thank you very much.

ハワイ4日に参加したのですが、運悪くその日は雨が凄く降っていてもう中止になるかと思いきや、参加の時間頃には雨も止み良かったと思いましたが、トレイル中にまた雨が降ってきてレインコートを来て登りました。
私は登りが苦手なのでゆっくり歩いていましたが皆さん待っていてくれてありがたいのと申し訳ないでいっぱいでしたが、何とか頂上まで登りきることが出来てとても達成感がありました。ただ登るより色んなことを説明してもらいながらガイドさんと登るほうが楽しいと思います。
帰りは坂の下りなのでステッキがあったほうが危なくないと思います。
ランチはとても美味しいサンドイッチを用意してもらい中々自分では行けないタンタラスの丘にも行けてとても充実した半日でした。
ありがとうございました。

I was anxious about everything being in English, but the return time and meeting place were clear, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. I was lucky to see seals swimming in the bay as well.

オール英語で不安でしたが、帰りの時間と集合場所が明確で安心して楽しめました。アザラシも湾内に泳いできてラッキーでした。

I participated with my four grandchildren. We got completely covered in dust, but we thoroughly enjoyed the world of Jurassic Park in the vast nature.

4人の孫を連れて参加しました。全身埃だらけになりましてが広大な自然の中ジュラシックパークの世界を満喫できました。

I had my four grandchildren, two boys and two girls, experience three types of marine sports from elementary school to high school. They were a bit stiff during parasailing, but everyone was extremely satisfied with the banana boat ride. Thank you to everyone at the staff!

小学校から高校までの男女4人の孫にマリーンスポーツ３種を体験させました。
パラセーリングは少し体が固まっていましたが、バナナボートは最高と全員大満足でした。sたっふの皆さんありがとうございました。

I found that the water wasn't as clear as I had hoped. The sandy beach wasn't as beautiful as I expected either. I want to visit the sandbar I went to two years ago again!

泳いでみて思ったほど透明度は良くなかった。砂浜も思ったほど綺麗ではなかった。一昨年行ったサンドバーにもう一度行ってみたいです！

At first, I wasn't sure what to do, but since it was a famous place and seemed interesting, I decided to participate. The buggy ride was amazing!

最初は、どうしようかなと思ったのですが、有名な場所であり、面白そうなので参加しました。
バギー最高でしたよ。

I was able to participate with peace of mind thanks to the shuttle service. The explanation was given in Japanese, so I understood it well. The pre-experience video was also in Japanese, which made it easy to follow. Above all, the horses are smart and adorable.

Horseback riding in nature is refreshing and healing.

I might have muscle soreness tomorrow! ^_^

送迎付きで安心して参加できました
説明は日本語の方がしてくれたので良くわかりました
体験前のビデオも日本語なので良くわかりました
なにしろ馬がお利口で可愛いです

自然の中での乗馬は気持ちよく癒されます

明日は筋肉痛になるかも^_^

Such a great experience for the kiddos. Fast and thrilling and lots of great stops through the ride.

The water on the west side is super clear, we really enjoyed this snorkel tour away from Waikiki!

Beautiful waterfall, and a gorgeous hike in. We had just enough time, a perfect tour.

Had a great time. very friendly staff, well organized production.
It may be their job but everyone seemed to enjoy making sure you have a great time.
go. get the pictures. the memories are priceless.

bonus : go on Friday and you get the fireworks show on the water with Waikiki as the backdrop. what could be better???

Had a great time on a special day. everyone there was friendly and entertaining

Minnesota family. We do not like the food but good customer service

We took a bus to the zipline location. The driver shared stories about movie filming sites and legends associated with Kualoa Ranch. (Google Translate was really helpful!)

The activities are supported by guides, so there's no need to worry. You can manage with gestures as well.

It felt amazing to be surrounded by the peaceful nature. You can also enjoy a suspension bridge and a bit of hiking. There are ride photos available, which you can check and purchase at the waiting hut for about $20 each.

The friendly guide asked simple questions in English like, "What’s your favorite fruit?" and "What’s your favorite movie?" My elementary school daughter was a bit nervous about those questions, though! I would love to participate again.

ジップラインの場所までバスで移動。ドライバーさんが映画のロケ地やクアロアランチに伝わる伝説を話してくれます。（Google翻訳大活躍！）
アクティビティはガイドさんがサポートしてくれるので心配いりません。あとはジェスチャーでなんとかなります。

静かな大自然の中で最高に気持ち良かったです。
吊り橋やちょっとしたハイキングも楽しめます。
ライドショットがあり、待合の小屋で確認、購入出来ます。1枚20ドルくらい。
フレンドリーなガイドさんが「好きな果物はなに？」とか「好きな映画は？」とか簡単な英語で話しかけてくれますが、小学校の娘はその質問に緊張しておりました笑
また参加したいです。

We enjoyed the ride! There was two of us on the trip and it was so pleasant. It rained briefly but didn’t stop us. The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We will definitely tell our friends about it and do it again when we come back. Thank you!!! Mahalo!

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.

The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.

The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.

自分へのご褒美に５スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。１人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット２枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my daughter. The staff members were very kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience comfortably. I especially want to thank Minako. We were able to see many dolphins, which created wonderful memories. Captain Shanti was also fantastic.

娘と2人で参加しました。スタッフの方々がとても親切で気持ちよく参加できました。特にミナコさんに感謝です。念願のイルカもたくさん見られていい思い出が出来ました。キャプテンのシャンティさんも素敵でした。

It rained the day before, so there was no dust at all, and it was comfortable. It was fun to drive through the great outdoors, which is a rare experience. The instructor was kind, and the 2-hour tour flew by.

前日に雨が降り、全く砂埃がなくて、快適でした。
なかなか体験できない大自然の中を自分の運転で走り抜けるのは楽しかったです。
インストラクターも優しくて、2時間のツアーあっという間でした。

Last March, I was able to see the sunrise from the summit. This year, I climbed to the summit around 8:30 AM on April 17, but isn't it impossible to see the sunrise from the summit in April? The gate opens at 6 AM, and the sunrise on April 17 should be around 6:10 AM, but it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the summit, so wouldn't it be a sunrise seen from partway up?

昨年3月に山頂から日の出を見ることが出来ました。本年は、4月17日に山頂へは8時30分ごろに登りましたが、4月は山頂から日の出が見るのは無理なのではないですか？ゲートが6時に開門して4月17日の日の出は6時10分ごろのはずですが、10分で山頂までは行けないので、途中からの日の出になるのではないですか？
