Oahu
It was all in English, but the staff were kind and I enjoyed the North Shore. I reflected on my English skills, wishing I could have understood more from the guide along the way.
英語オンリーでしたが、親切に対応いただき、ノースショアを楽しめました
道中のガイドはヒアリングがもっと出来れば良かったと自分の英語力を反省です
The staff who spoke Japanese were very helpful, and my child had a great time! My son got quite wet from the energetic dolphins, but the weather was nice, so he dried off quickly. The park itself is small, so it's easy to explore. Feeding the fish and watching the dolphin show were also fun.
日本語が話せるスタッフがサポートしてくれて子供も楽しめました!元気なイルカで息子は結構濡れましたが、天気も良くすぐ乾きました。パーク自体は狭いのですぐ見て回れます。魚の餌やりやイルカショーなども楽しかったです。
I was able to climb higher than I expected and enjoy a wonderful view. Also, I was lucky to see whales from the boat.
思っていたよりも高いところまで上がって、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。また、船上からは、鯨を見ることができてラッキーでした。
I was a bit anxious since it was an English-speaking driver. It seemed like the meeting point was different, and even after 10 minutes, the driver hadn't arrived. When I tried to contact them, the line was busy. Just when I was starting to think they might not come, the driver called my name loudly, and I was able to get on safely. During the ride, I couldn't understand the announcements at all, and since we were the only Japanese people, I felt a bit isolated, haha. We also received two bottles of mineral water for the round trip! Since it was just a plan to climb, I didn't feel rushed and was able to fully enjoy the scenery and nature. However, I later found out that taking the bus would have been significantly cheaper, which was a good lesson learned.
英語ドライバーという事だったので不安でした。
待ち合わせ場所が違っていたようで10分過ぎても来ず、連絡しても通話中。行けないかもと思っていたらドライバーさんが大きな声で名前を呼んでくれて無事に乗れました。移動中の案内は全くわからず翻訳機能も使えず私たちだけ日本人だったので少し疎外感笑。
ミネラルウォーターも行き帰りで2本いただきました!
登るだけのプランだったので焦ることもなく景色も自然も存分に堪能出来ました。
ただ、バスで行ってたらゼロ一桁安かったと後から知りいい勉強になりました。
It's best to confirm the meeting place thoroughly.
待ち合わせ場所はしっかりと確認した方がいいです。
We had a great time as a family of four with our two elementary school children. Both my husband and I took turns driving. If you have a driver's license, it's definitely more fun to drive. I was worried about whether my feet would reach the pedals since I'm 148 cm tall, but as long as I pulled the seatbelt tight and sat a bit lower in the seat, it was totally fine. (I think those of us who are shorter are used to making adjustments like that.)
It would be more enjoyable if you can speak English, as you can communicate with the guide. If you can't understand anything at all, it might be good to let them know or to convey that through your demeanor. During the first break, we all introduced ourselves as a group and were asked where we were from and what our travel goals were. I managed to respond with some words that didn't quite form sentences, but they understood me, although it was a bit nerve-wracking. (laughs)
小学生の子供2人と家族4人で楽しめました。
夫婦ともにドライバーで交代して運転。免許があるなら運転もしたほうが楽しいです。私は身長148cmのため足が届くか心配でしたが、シートベルトをしっかり引っ張り出してシートに浅めに腰掛ければ全然大丈夫でした。(そこらへんの工夫は低身長さんなら色々慣れている範囲内かと思います)
英語は話せた方がガイドさんと話せてより楽しめそうです。聞き取りも全くできない場合は、その旨お伝えしておくか雰囲気出しておくと良いかもしれません。最初の休憩でグループ全体で自己紹介がはじまり、どこから来たかと旅の目的を聞かれました。文章にならない単語でなんとか答えて理解いただけましたが少しドキドキしました。笑
Very fun experience being able to drive the UTV through kualoa ranch! The views were very refreshing to see! Taisha and Q kept the experience full of fun and energy while educating us about the land and culture.
Wear clothes that can get dirty. Thin long sleeves are a great choice as the weather may be warm.
The music was fun and a nice chill day on the sand bar!!
Aloha Steph,
Thank you for your 5stars review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour. We are looking forward to seeing you again.

I really enjoyed our time at the ranch there is so much to do!!!!
The schedule was changed due to boat maintenance, but I'm glad I participated! The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease! It was my first time doing SUP and I was reassured because they taught me how to do it.
船のメンテナンスのため、日程変更になりましたが、参加してよかったです!スタッフの人日本語できるので安心でした!sup等初めてでしたが、やり方を教えてもらえるので安心でした

I was about 15 minutes late on the day, but I'm grateful that it was still carried out. The staff were handsome, and it was reassuring that there were some who could speak a little Japanese.
当日、15分ほど遅刻してしまったのですが、実施してもらって感謝です。スタッフの方、イケメンでした。日本語少しできる人もいて安心でした
It's not too bad, but it's essential to wear clothes that can get wet.
あまりならないが、下は濡れてもいい格好必須
It's powerful and definitely something you should do if you're in Hawaii! Riding around in a buggy is an extraordinary experience, and I think it allows you to enjoy the atmosphere even more.
迫力があって、絶対ハワイにあったら行くべき!バギーで周るってのが非日常的だし、より一層雰囲気を味わえると思う。
Wear clothes that can get dirty!
汚れてもいい服で!
The weather was great, and the scenery was amazing. The staff was cheerful and very nice. It was good to have many activities to choose from.
It was a bit cold, so snorkeling required some preparation, but I was satisfied to see the beautiful seabed.
Thank you for your hospitality.
天気に恵まれ、風景が最高でした。
スタッフは陽気でとても素敵。
アクティビティもいくつも出来て良かった。

It's cold, so it's better to have something to wear over it.

The guide takes photos for you during breaks at various points. Since it's electric, going uphill was a breeze. I was moved when I saw cows while going down the slope. The scenery at Kualoa is beautiful and can't be fully captured in photos. You should definitely experience it at least once!
所々で休憩を挟みガイドのかたが写真も撮ってくれます。
電動なので、上り坂も楽々でした。
坂道を下りながら牛が見えた時は感動しました。クアロアは景色が美しく写真では伝えきれません。ぜひ一度体験してください!
This is my third time going to Kualoa Ranch, but the lunch is not delicious no matter what I eat. This time, I saw someone eating cup noodles; I wonder if they can be purchased? If that's an option, I
クアロアランチに行くのは3回目ですが、
何食べてもお昼は美味しくないです。
今回はカップラーメンを食べてる方がいて、買えるのかな?その手があるなら次回行く時は間違いなくカップラーメンを選びます。
The view from above was very nice, and it was a fun experience. There were three adults participating, and it was great to be able to go up in the sky together.
上から見る景色はとても良く、楽しい体験が出来ました。大人3人での参加でしたが、一緒に空に上がることが出来て良かったです
I am asked if I want to dip into the water.

We went horseback riding as a family of three. It was our first time riding in Hawaii, and I was a bit nervous at first, but the local guide was very friendly and kind. We even found some unexpected common interests and hit it off, becoming friends. The long hours of horseback riding were very valuable, as it's not something we can experience much in Japan, so it was a really great experience and we had a lot of fun!
家族3人で乗馬をしました。ハワイでの乗馬は初めてで最初は少し緊張しましたが、現地のガイドの方がとても気さくで優しく、意外な共通点もあったりして、意気投合しお友達になりました。
長時間の乗馬は、とても貴重で日本ではあまり経験出来ないので、とっても良い経験ができて楽しかったです!
Each horse has its own personality, so you never know what kind of horse you'll be riding—look forward to it!
馬さんは一頭ずつ個性があって、どんな子にに乗るのかわからないので、お楽しみに〜
I paddled several times to catch the waves, but it was so much fun and absolutely amazing. When I finally caught a wave, it was even better. The receptionist, who spoke Japanese very well, was incredibly kind. The commemorative photo and video package was $75, and it was a lot of fun.
波に乗るのに、何回も漕ぎますが楽しくて楽しくて最高です。
波に乗れた時は、もっと最高でした。受付の日本語の上手なお姉さん、最高に優しかったです。
記念写真+動画で75ドル、楽しかったです。
It's really fun, so give it a try! 😄
とっても楽しいので、やってみて下さい😄
Dear Mayu, thank you very much for the 5-star rating and review! We have one Japanese staff member at the reception named Maki. We look forward to your next visit!
Mayu様:5つ星のレイティングと口コミをして頂き、誠に有難うございました!受付の者は一人だけ「マキ」という名の日本人のスタッフがおります。またのお越しをお待ちしております!
We went out to sea on a motorboat, and before we knew it, we were ready to go. Just as I was thinking, "Oh, this is scary," we took off into the sky with a "Yahoo!" It was the best view ever, and I want to do it again. If you come to Hawaii, definitely try flying over Waikiki! 😄 The staff understands Japanese and are very kind. It became a wonderful memory. 😄
モーターボートで沖に行って、あっと言う間に準備完了。
え~怖いななんて思う間もなく、ヤッホーって感じで空に飛び立ちました。
最高の景色でした。またやりたいと思いました。
ぜひ、ハワイに来たらワイキキの空を飛んで見てください😄
スタッフも日本語も分かるし、とても優しいです。いい思い出になりました😄
It's not scary, so please give it a try. I recommend it! 🎵
怖くないので、体験してみて下さい。お勧めします🎵
It was a bit cold since it was the end of March. When the sun shone through the clear skies, I was amazed by the beautiful sea. It was great to take photos at the Floating Island Lounge!
3月末だったので少し寒かったです。晴れ間に太陽が差しむと、とても綺麗な海で驚きました。浮島ラウンジで写真を撮るととても良かったです!
Aloha YN,
It seems it was a bit cold. In March, the water temperature can still be low. I'm glad you enjoyed the floating island lounge, the scenery, and the beautiful ocean. We look forward to seeing you again.

Really fabulous duo tour, our movie guide was so knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious.
This evening was very crowded, not our style but we did like the firework show from the boat.
You are tightly seated within other groups, but regardless of that the crew and entertainment are fantastic.
The Kualoa grounds are breath taking, and the fun added in with the atv was a perfect pair.
My wife was worried about the two-hour horseback riding, but she said it was great afterward. It was my first time riding as well, and the staff's support was excellent, making it enjoyable. During the ride, the horse pooped and peed quite dramatically, and we walked among free-range cows, which was an experience you can't have in Japan.
2時間の乗馬を心配していた妻が、乗馬後良かったとの事。小生も初めての乗馬であったが、スタッフのフォローも良く楽しめた。乗馬途中お馬さんがうんこ💩、おしっこを豪快にしたり、放し飼いの牛の間を歩いたりと日本では出来ない経験でした。
After horseback riding, I have to eat lunch within an hour before the bus departs, but there is a long line at the restaurant's ordering window, so I can't find time to eat. If you're going to eat at
乗馬後バスの出発迄1時間の間に昼飯を食べなければならないけど、レストランの注文窓口が長蛇の列の為、昼飯食べる時間が取れない。レストランで食べるなら早目に行く事。あるいわ1時間のバス行程を我慢してワイキ
I'm glad I went!
Once you buy a ticket, you can enter for three days!
Indeed, with such a wealth of experiences, it seems like it would take three days to fully enjoy everything.
Understanding the schedules for experiences and shows can be overwhelming for first-timers, so I recommend paying the additional fee for a guide; otherwise, it would be hard to enjoy efficiently and you might feel lost! I definitely recommend getting a guide!
The staff is mostly university students from the adjacent campus, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere.
The guide who assisted us was great at explaining in Japanese, and thanks to them, we had a fantastic time! ✨
All the shows and experiences were fun!
With a ticket, you can enjoy everything for free except for meals and the fire show.
If you have kids, I think it's an incredibly fun place.
It was such a great place that I would want to visit for three days!
行ってよかった!
1回チケットを買ったら3日入れるらしい!
たしかに豊富な体験数なので、全制覇は3日かかりそう。
体験やショーのプログラム時間の把握は、豊富すぎて初めての人には厳しいのでガイド追加料金を払って、案内してもらわないと効率よく楽しめないし、わけがわからないと思う!絶対ガイドをつけることをおすすめ!
スタッフは隣接の大学生が8割とのことで、活気があって良い雰囲気だった。
ガイドをしてくれた方も日本語での説明が上手で、彼らのおかげで相当楽しめた✨
ショーも、体験も全部楽しかった!
チケットがあれば、食事とファイヤーショー意外無料で楽しめます。
子供がいたら、楽しすぎる場所だと思う。
3日間通いたいくらい良い場所でした。
Since the access is farther from Waikiki, it's better to schedule your plans according to the shuttle bus times from the cultural center (only one round trip). Taxis and Uber were hard to catch and be
アクセスがワイキキより遠いので、カルチャーセンターのシャトルバスの時間(往復1便のみ)に合わせてスケジュールを組んだ方が良い。
タクシー、ウーバーは地方ということもあり、つかまらなかったし高額になる。
The wind was strong and personally a bit scary, but the staff were very friendly and spoke to ease my anxiety, allowing me to have an enjoyable experience. My daughter wanted to try parasailing, so we signed up here, and we were very satisfied.
風が強く個人的にはちょっと怖かったですが、スタッフの皆さんがとてもフレンドリーで不安を和らげるよう声をかけてもらい、楽しく体験することができました。
一緒に行った娘がパラセイリングをしたくでこちらに申し込んだのですが、大満足です。
You might need motion sickness medication. Just in case, I took some, so I was able to enjoy myself without feeling nauseous. I recommend the aerial walk.
酔い止めは必要かもしれません。
念の為飲んで行ったので、酔うこともなく楽しめました。
空中散歩おすすめです。
After arriving from Waikiki, I received explanations about luggage and lockers from the Japanese staff and headed to the reception for each activity. The two-hour horseback riding was very fulfilling, as I could see the ocean and passed very close to a herd of cattle. The gentle ups and downs were quite surprising from atop the horse.
ワイキキから到着後、日本人スタッフの方から手荷物やロッカーなどの説明を受け、各アクティビティの受付に向かいました。2時間の乗馬は海が見えたり、牛の群れのすぐ近くを通ったり、軽いアップダウンも馬の上からだと結構びっくりしたり、とても充実しました。
I had about an hour until the bus back to Waikiki, but after retrieving my luggage from the locker and resting a bit, I ended up waiting in line for just over 30 minutes to buy lunch. It might be a go
ワイキキへ戻るバスまで1時間ほど時間がありましたが、ロッカーから荷物を取り出して少し休んだら、お昼ご飯を買うのに30分ちょっと列に並ぶ羽目になりました。食事付きのツアーにしてもいいかもしれません。
A truly unique experience. As you board the spacious and comfortable bus in Waikiki the staff prepares you for your journey. You are given a virtual reality headset that is adjustable and comfortable. The virtual reality is interactive, and educational. As the bus is moving it actually feels like your body is moving through the experience. The colors, animals, and sounds felt so real!
Would not recommend if you are prone to motion sickness. Would recommend if you are interested in virtual reality, and enjoy a fun ride. Comparable to a smooth rollercoaster.
It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.
From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!
Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!

There were some things I didn't quite understand in English, but they kindly explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and the activities themselves were enjoyable and memorable. Thank you! 😊
英語でちょっと理解できないこともありますが、親切にわかりやすく話しもして頂き、アクティビティ自体も楽しく心に残ったアクティビティでした。
ありがとうございました😊
We had so much fun. The tour was easy to follow. Beautiful fish, coral, anemone, and more. Definitely check it out
