It was the best experience. The two-hour horseback riding was fulfilling, taking us from the ocean side of Kualoa Ranch through the plateau where Jurassic World was filmed. We formed a group of six, with the guide leading us in a single file. This time, we were in a group with two couples from America and Australia. Throughout the two hours, the guide moved to the front, the middle, and the back, carefully following each person. It was my first time riding for such a long duration, and I was nervous at first, but the guide's support allowed me to ride with peace of mind. At some point, I felt a connection with the horse, and I couldn't help but find it adorable. Before the ride, the guide mounted a horse and explained how to ride. (Japanese participants are shown a Japanese video without needing to request it.)

Due to age restrictions, I went ahead to Kualoa Ranch with my older child for horseback riding, and in the afternoon, I met up with my husband and younger child to enjoy the buggies. I saw reviews mentioning waiting for the return bus, so I arranged for transportation only for myself and my older child for the ride there, and we returned with a taxi that we had booked for the whole family. There were hamburgers and other items available at the shop. During horseback riding, you can only take drinks and a smartphone, but there is a locker available for $5 a day that allows for multiple entries and can hold about three backpacks.

最高の体験でした。
2時間の乗馬は、クアロアランチの海側からジュラシックワールドの撮影場所の台地を抜けて進むという内容で充実しました。6人でグループになり、ガイドが先導し１列で進んでいきます。今回はアメリカとオーストラリアから参加したカップル2組と一緒のグループになりました。ガイドは2時間の間、前に行ったり、真ん中に入ったり、最後尾についたり、一人一人丁寧にフォローしてくれました。長時間の乗馬は初めてで最初は緊張しましたが、ガイドのフォローで安心して乗ることが出来ました。途中から馬と少し心が通じた？気がして、馬が可愛くて仕方なかったです。乗馬前には、ガイドが馬に跨り、乗馬について説明してくれます。(日本人はリクエストしなくても日本語の動画を見せられます。)
年齢制限があるため、乗馬は上の子供と一足先にクアロアランチに向かい、午後は夫と下の子供と合流し、バギーを楽しみました。
帰りのバスの時間が待つという口コミを見たので、送迎は私と上の子だけ有りで行きのみ利用し、帰りは家族全員で予約していたタクシーで帰りました。食事はハンバーガーなどが売店にありました。乗馬時は飲み物とスマホくらいしか持って行けませんが、1日5ドルで何度でも出し入れできるロッカーがあり、リュック3個くらいは入ります。

The girls were wonderful. They were kind and helpful. We not only swam with amazing dolphins but snorkeled in a wonderful coral reef with sea turtles. I would highly recommend this tout

Crew was very nice. Great catamaran and I loved being under sail for most of it (no engine noise).

The Angel's Sea was amazing. The scenery was beautiful, and the water was so clear that I could see fish swimming with the naked eye. I saw many turtles on the way to the sandbar, and during snorkeling, I encountered a turtle that came out from the rocks and was able to swim close to it, which was truly moving! The lunch with hamburgers grilled on the boat was incredibly delicious, and the kids were thrilled. The staff was friendly, and I had such a great time that I definitely want to go again!

天使の海は最高でした
景色はもちろん、海の透明度も高くて裸眼でお魚が泳いでる姿が見れるくらい綺麗でした。
亀はサンドバーに向かう時に沢山見れて、シュノーケリングの時も岩場から出てきた亀に遭遇し近くを一緒に泳ぐことが出来て感動しました♪
船上で焼いてくれたハンバーグを挟んで食べるランチは最高に美味しくて子ども達も大喜びでした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとても楽しくまた是非行きたいと思いました！！

I had always wanted to visit Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. I participated with my parents and my two children, aged 8 and 10. We chose a plan that included transportation, and since we stayed at the Embassy, we were picked up at the Sheraton. At that point, there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so it was reassuring even though we couldn't speak English. They also showed us a video in Japanese with important information before the experience.

We followed behind another guide on buggies, keeping about two buggies' distance. We stopped about three times along the way for explanations about the locations and to take photos. Everything during those stops was in English, so I thought it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English ( ; ; ).

I was a bit worried that my children might be scared of the buggies, but they were completely fine. The thrill of the bumpy roads and climbing hills excited them, and they were captivated by the stunning views of Kualoa. It was a memorable two hours.

ハワイで一度は行きたかったクアロアランチ。父母、8歳と10歳の子どもの4人で参加しました。
送迎付きプラン、エンバシー宿泊だったのでシェラトンでピックアップしてもらいました。その時点で日本語を話せるガイドさんがいるので、英語が話せなくても安心です。体験前の注意事項も、日本語のビデオを見せてくれます。
バギーは別のガイドさんの後ろを2台分くらいあけて付いて行きます。途中3回ほど降りて、その場所の説明や、写真を撮る時間がありました。そのあたりは全て英語なので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかっただろうなと思います（ ; ; ）
子どもがバギーを怖がるかと少し心配していましたが、全くそんなことはありませんでした。凸凹道や坂を登る多少のスリルに子どもたちは大興奮、クアロアの絶景に魅了され、心に残る2時間でした。

My wife and I both celebrated our 70th birthdays and took our first trip to Hawaii. We discussed what activities to do! We challenged ourselves to try parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing. We will definitely come back to try it again! However, if you are prone to seasickness, please take some medication.

私と女房は、共に古希を迎えて、初ハワイ。
何を活動しようかと相談！
初パラセーリングにチャレンジ、最高でした。また、チャレンジしに来るぞ〜。
但し、船酔いする人は、薬飲んでくださいね

I was disappointed with Mr. T, the guide for the Kaneohe Bay cruise package tour! He might be the same guide mentioned in someone else's experience on the Jurassic Park movie location tour.

カネオヘ湾クルーズパッケージツアーのガイドのMr.Tさんにゲンナリ！
どなたかが体験談に紹介されていたジュラシックか映画ロケ地巡りツアーでのガイドと同じかもです。

I hesitated to cancel because it seemed scary after I signed up, but I really enjoyed the experience. Once you start flying, it’s not as scary as it looks from below, and the view is amazing; it feels really good. The instructor was also humorous and very kind.

申し込んでみたものの怖そうだから、やっぱりキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、体験して本当に楽しかったです。
下から見ているよりも、飛んでしまえばそれ程怖さも感じなくて、景色も最高だし、とっても気持ちがいいです。
インストラクターの方もユーモアがあり、とても親切です。

I had a very enjoyable experience. The people on the boat were also wonderful, and we were able to enjoy a fun boat trip in a friendly atmosphere. During parasailing, I fell into the sea a few times, which was thrilling and very entertaining! However, if you wish to purchase photos, please make sure to inform the staff directly on the boat before parasailing!

とても楽しい経験をすることができました。船に同乗していた方々もとても素敵な方たちで、和気あいあいとした雰囲気の中、楽しい船旅を楽しむことができました。
パラセーリング中には何度か海に“ドボン”と落ちることもあり、それがまたスリル満点でとても面白かったです！
ただ、写真の購入を希望される方は、必ずパラセーリング前に船の上で、写真購入希望の旨を直接スタッフに伝えるようにしてください！！

Thank you all for the great adventure. Lots of turtles and what a beautiful setting!

I was relieved that they arrived on time for the early morning pickup. Although the conversation was only in English, I somehow understood the nuances and was able to spend my time without anxiety. Hanauma Bay was beautiful as always after such a long time.

早朝のお迎えだったけど時間通りに来ていただき安心しました。
英語のみの会話だったけとなんとなくニュアンスは伝わり不安なく過ごせました。
久しぶりのハナウマベイはやっぱり綺麗でした。

We had a great first time experience. The crew were very professional and made sure we enjoyed our time.

We had a great time kayaking the ocean and river. Guides were very friendly, fun, annd accommodating and kept everyone in our group safe!

I experienced parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. The view of Waikiki from above was beautiful. The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication beforehand.

ハワイではじめてのパラセーリングを体験しました。
上空ｋらみるワイキキの街並みはキレイでした。
舟は結構揺れるので酔いやすい方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくといいかも

The weather was great, and it was an amazing experience. We rode a buggy with six adults, speeding through the great outdoors. We stopped several times to take photos. The guide was very attentive and made us feel really happy.

とても天気が良く最高の体験でした。
バギーに大人6人乗り込んで大自然の中結構飛ばしながら走りました。
何回か止まって、写真撮影したりしました。
ガイドさんがとてもサービス旺盛でとても楽しい気持ちになりました。

We walked through a jungle-like natural environment to reach the waterfall. It was great that we were able to borrow trekking poles. The weather in March was mild, but I ended up sweating quite a bit. Our Japanese guide, Mei, was a wonderful person. The lunch was also very delicious; my husband had a pastrami sandwich while I enjoyed a vegetable sandwich, all while overlooking the stunning view from Tantalus Hill. It was a very good tour!

ジャングルの様な大自然の中を滝まで歩いて行きます。トレッキング用の杖を貸してもらえたのは良かったです。３月の穏やかなお天気でしたが、結構汗をかきました。日本人ガイドのメイさんがとても素敵な方でした。ランチもとても美味しくタンタラスの丘からの素晴らしい景色を見渡しながら夫はパストラミサンド、私はベジタブルサンドを頂きました。とても良いツアーでした！

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.

We used it across three generations! After a brief lecture, we headed straight to the sea. It was surprisingly easy to get out to the open water, and with the guide watching the waves, we surfed on canoes! The view of Diamond Head was beautiful and we had a great time.

3世代で利用しました！
簡単なレクチャーの後に、すぐに海へ。
意外と簡単に沖に出て、ガイドさんに波を見てもらい、カヌーでサーフィン！
ダイアモンドベッドも綺麗に見えて楽しかったです。

I’ve been to many luaus and this one was great. The warrior stories and performance was stunning. The food and drinks were good and authentic. The openness of the venue and seating arrangements were appreciated.

Only aspect that was a bit disappointing was the bus/shuttle that took us to the luau: 1) there were a lot of sick people on the bus coughing and sneezing, it would have been mindful to ask they were a mask or include instructions if sick not to take the shuttle 2) the shuttle stayed at the pickup locations for a long time, longer than they should have… this delayed our bus ride. Stick to the rules and please don’t delay other guests. 3) traffic and freeway accidents can’t be prevented or predicted, but if we left the bus stops on time it could have given us more time for pre luau activities.

It was just the two of us, the captain, and a young guy, so there were four of us in total. At first, I was scared when we were paddling out to sea because of the big waves, but once I got used to it, it was fun and great. Surfing was the best! 😀 Since I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, I borrowed a life jacket. I had a lot of fun. I was able to buy the photos and videos properly. Thank you very much!

私達夫婦2人と、船長さんと若いお兄さんの4人でした
海に向かって漕ぐ時、大きな波だと最初怖かったけど、慣れたら楽しくて良かったです
波乗りも最高😀
怖がりだから、ライフジャケット借りました
楽しかったです
写真ビデオちゃんと買う事できました
ありがとうございました

The weather was nice, so I could see the fish and the sunken ship clearly. It might be tough if it's cloudy. I recommend this for those who want to see a lot of fish but don't want to snorkel. Also, on the way to the submarine transfer, you can see Diamond Head and the beach from the sea side, which makes for great photos.

天気が良かったので、魚や沈没船が良く見えました。曇りだと厳しいかも。とは思いました。沢山の魚を見たいがシュノーケルをしたくない方にお勧めです。また、乗り替える潜水艦にいく途中の船でダイアモンドヘッドやビーチが海側から見れるので、良い写真が撮れます。

We had an amazing time at kualua ranch and did the 2-hr atv drive. Fun and interactive tour guide. Beautiful sceneries. Definitely doing it again. highly recommended this tour.

You can touch dolphins by following the guide's instructions. It's recommended for small children and animal lovers since you can see their adorable movements up close. The activity is great, but it's also a breathtaking spot with a 180-degree view of the ocean, which is truly impressive. However, there isn't much else to see at Sea Life Park, so I give it 4 stars.

ガイドの指示に従い、イルカに触れることができます。愛くるしい色々な動きを間近で見ることができるので、小さなお子様や動物好きにはオススメです。アクティビティも良いですが、180度見渡せる海の絶景スポットでもあるので、それを観るのも感動ものです。シーライフパーク自体は、他に、あまり観るものがないので、星4です。

The weather was great, and I had a fun time surfing. The captain's shouts of "Paddle!" and "Faster!" got me pumped up, and when I was exhausted, I was able to catch a wave and feel the best breeze.

天気に恵まれ、楽しい波乗りができました。キャプテンの「こいで！」「早く！」にテンションが上がりクタクタになってきたら波に乗って最高の風を感じられました。

Exciting parasailing, we boarded the boat and set off. There were five groups, creating a lively atmosphere as we cheered each other on. At 150 meters above, it felt amazing, and the view was spectacular.

ドキドキのパラセーリング、船に乗り込み出発です。5組いたので、賑やかな雰囲気で手を張り合い盛り上がっていました。150mの上空はとても気持ちよく、最高の景色でした。

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. Since my last visit was before COVID-19, I noticed quite a few changes, but both the café and the shop were well-stocked and enjoyable. I only participated in the horseback riding tour, so my stay was short, but I had a great time. The tour was supposed to be two hours, but I was surprised to hear it would only be an hour and a half that day, with a refund offered. However, even with just an hour and a half, the horseback riding was more than enough. The scenery you can enjoy at Kualoa Ranch is unique, so I definitely want to go back.

クアロアランチは2回目の訪問でした。
前回はコロナ前でしたのでいろいろ変わってる感じはありましたが、カフェもショップも充実していてよかったです。
私は乗馬だけのツアーでしたので滞在時間は短かったですが楽しめました。
ツアーは乗馬2時間でしたが、当日1時間半になるので返金があるとの話でびっくりしましたが1時間半でも乗馬だけなので充分でした。
この景色を堪能できるのはクアロアランチならではなので私はまた行きたいなと思います。

We were lost, we called 4 times and no one would pick up our calls before ship left us behind. Someone should be there to answer the phone to help out of state customers, we were a group of 6 Senoir Citizens lost in another state. We all lost all our money we called 45 minutes before ship left.

Flying in the sky was amazing. The boat rocked surprisingly, but I took motion sickness medicine, so I was fine. We arrived in no time. There was a child flying in front of me, which gave me the courage to try as a 50-year-old woman!! The sky was calm, and I had a great view of Hawaii. It was met with applause!

空を飛べて最高でした。
船はびっくりするくらい揺れますが酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫。
あっという間に到着。
前の方がお子さんが飛んでいたので勇気をもらい50歳のおばさんもトライ！！
空は揺れもなくハワイが一望出来て最高です。拍手喝采でした！

Driving on the off-road paths was exhilarating! It was great to be able to visit the holy sites of the Jurassic Park tour as well.

オフロードの道を運転できる爽快さが最高でした！ジュラシックパーク、ツアーの聖地も巡れるのがとてもよかった。（全てではないですが）

Overall, the experience was fantastic. My wife and I are certified divers, and we wanted to introduce our boys (13 and 17) to the world of scuba diving without the time commitment of a full certification course. This introductory dive was relaxed and a great way to get them underwater without the need for certification. We wanted to gauge their interest before committing to the certification process. I can see scuba diving in their future.

While the underwater sights weren’t as abundant as you might find while snorkeling in surrounding areas, this experience offered something different, the chance to hover beneath the surface and breathe underwater. Our instructor, Alex, was fantastic and incredibly supportive throughout the adventure. I highly recommend this as a quick and enjoyable way to experience scuba diving.
