This was my second time ziplining at Kualoa. The last time was about two years ago (there were no Japanese people after COVID), so everything was in English, but this time the reception was handled by a Japanese person.

The jeep ride to the zip base camp was in fast-paced English, so I listened while using Google Translate.

You will walk a bit on mountain paths, so I think sneakers and comfortable clothing are best. Even for someone like me who is not great with heights, it wasn't scary at all.

If you have time, please enjoy a burger at the café. This time, I had only 30 minutes before the return bus, so I gave up, but it's very delicious.

クアロアでのジップラインは2度目。
前回は約2年前でしたので（コロナ後で日本人がいませんでした）すべて英語でしたが、今回は受付は日本の方でした。
ジップのベースキャンプまでのジープは早口英語ですので、Google翻訳しながら聞きました。

山道を多少歩きますので、スニーカーと動きやすい服装が良いと思います。
かなり高所が苦手な私でも怖くないです。

時間があればカフェでバーガーを召し上がりください。今回は帰りのバスまで30分しかなく諦めましたが、とても美味しいです。

I enjoyed a leisurely ride on horseback, feeling the nature of Hawaii. The ocean is beautiful, but the nature of Kualoa is also stunning.

馬に乗ってのんびりとハワイの自然を感じてきました。
海もきれいですが、クアロアの自然もきれいですよ。

Driving the buggy was fun, and it was great to visit the filming locations of Jurassic World. The two guides were very good and took a lot of photos for us. Since the dust is quite intense, it's better to wear the glasses they provide for rent.

バギーの運転が楽しく、ジュラシックワールドの撮影現場などに行けてことが良かったです。ガイドの2人がとても良くて写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。
砂埃がすごいのでレンタルしてくれる眼鏡をつけたほうがいいです。

Since it's an electric bicycle, climbing hills is easy. I signed up for a two-hour beginner course, but we won't be riding the entire two hours; there will be breaks and explanations from the guide (in English) along the way.

電動自転車なので、登り坂も楽ちんです。
２時間の初心者コースに申し込みましたが、２時間中走るわけではなく、途中、休憩やガイドさんの説明（英語）があります。

This is my second time visiting Kualoa Ranch. Last time, I participated in a 4WD tour. While it might be fun for the driver, I felt that the passengers didn't have as much excitement. This time, I joined a tour on an E-Mountain Bike, which involved riding electric bicycles. It was a self-guided tour where we explored various locations, including movie filming sites, and the exhilaration of riding through nature was fantastic. Driving was a bit challenging at first, but once I got the hang of it, it became very enjoyable, and I was able to ride comfortably. Next time I come, I would like to try a different attraction.

クアロアランチに行くのは今回で2回目です。前回は４WDを運転して回るツアーに参加しました。これも運転する人は楽しいかもしれませんが、乗ってる人はそんなに感動しない感じがしました。それで、今回参加したツアーがEマウンテンバイクでして、電動自転車に乗って回るツアーです。自分で運転していろんなところを回るツアーでして、映画のロケ地も見て回れて、自然の中をバイクで走るという爽快感が素晴らしかったです。運転も初めは難しかったですが、慣れてきたらとても楽しく、気持ちよく走り切る事が出来ました。また次回来るときは、違うアトラクションに参加したいと思います。

This is such an awesome trip and with the perfect amount of time to still do other things back on the island. The trip to the sandbar and back was its own experience in itself with the donuts, juice and live music. That live music was AMAZING, they are so talented and sing so well. I can’t wait to come back again and bring my kids!

We had a great time. The MC was awesome, very fun. All the dancer were really good. Very entertaining for the entire family!

Awesome.
Value for money. Worth every penny I paid for. Punctuated my honeymoon ending on a high note.

Driving a four-wheeler while feeling the majestic nature of Hawaii and visiting movie filming locations was great! I love being active, so it was perfect. The staff also took photos for us. My movie-loving partner seemed to really enjoy it.

ハワイの雄大な自然を感じながら四輪バギーの運転をして映画のロケ地を周ります！
アクティブ好きだったので良かったです。
またスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれました。映画好きの彼はかなり楽しめたようです。

It was supposed to be a maximum of six participants, but there were more than six on the day I attended. Also, it was stated to be two hours, but it was less than that. In the water, it felt like we were in for about 40 minutes.

There is a building for check-in, but there were no staff present at the time, which made it uncomfortable to wait alone in an empty area. (There were some people from a nearby cage tour, which added to the confusion.)

You have to hold onto the rope on the side of the boat at all times. The waves were high, and if you accidentally let go, you would get scolded for safety reasons. While waiting with the rope, one by one, we were called by the guide, and we had to swim from the rope to where the guide was. However, it felt pointless to dive when the sharks were not around during the count. There were sandbar sharks far away, and that day there were hammerheads and blacktips, but no tiger sharks. Since it’s nature, that’s understandable, but honestly, the sharks were farther away than I expected, and the water was a bit murky, so I wished I could see them up close.

When the boat's engine revs, the sharks come up a bit. It was okay to bring a GoPro and take pictures. You can rent fins, snorkels, masks, and rash guards. The guide only speaks English, so it can be tough if you don’t understand.

Also, please note that there is no place to change. The nearby restroom is for women, but there are no private stalls. Around noon, a man (possibly a homeless person?) came out of the women's restroom. There was also a dog that seemed to belong to him, and it smelled quite bad, so I quickly changed on the street in the parking lot.

MAX６名とのことですが、参加した日の回は６名以上いました。
また、２時間と記載がありますが２時間無しです。海の中にはいっているのは体感的に４０分あるかないかくらいでしょうか。
受付は建物がありますが、スタッフは居ない時間帯で誰も居ないところでポツンと待つのは不安でした。（近くのCageありのツアーの方がいたりしてちょっと混乱）
常に船の側面にある紐をつかんでいないといけません。波が高く、煽られてうっかり手が離れてしまったりしたら怒られます。（安全面のため）
紐を持って待って居ると一人ずつガイドに呼ばれたら、紐からガイドがいるところまで泳いで、ガイドのカウントで潜りますが、サメが居ないところでそのカウントで潜らせられても何も…という感じでした。下の遠くの方にサンドバーシャークがわらわら居る感じで、その日はハンマーとブラックチップも居ましたが、タイガーは居ませんでした。自然相手なのでそこは仕方ないですが、思っているより全体的にサメが遠かった＋白濁り気味でしたのでもう少し近くで見たかったというのが本音。
船のエンジンをふかすとサメが少し浮上してきます。
GoPro持っていって撮ることはOKでした。
フィン・シュノーケル・マスク・ラッシュガードは借りれます。
ガイドの方は英語対応になりますので理解出来ないと厳しいです。
また着替える場所がありませんのでご注意ください。
近くのトイレは女性側ですが個室扉がありません。
また昼頃ですが男性（路上生活者でしょうか？）が、女子トイレの中から出てきました。
またその方が飼っていると思われる犬がいて獣臭もすごかったですので、私は駐車場の路上でささっと着替えました。

The dolphins are amazing and they do as they want . We will definitely recommend dolphin quest To everyone.

We participated as a couple.
We've been to Hawaii several times, but this was our first time signing up for this activity.
It was really fun! It was a unique experience that you can only have in Hawaii. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, and the scenery from above was amazing.
There were only two groups, including us, and since the ride was just under 40 minutes, we didn't feel too seasick. If there had been more groups, we might have felt nauseous.
We stayed at a hotel with an ocean view, so even after the experience, we enjoyed seeing from our balcony, "Oh, they're parasailing! That's the one we did!" every time we looked out.

夫婦2人で参加しました。
何回かハワイに行ってますが、初めて申し込みました。
結果とても楽しかったです！ハワイならではの貴重な経験ですね。海側から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、空から見渡す景色は最高でした。
私たち含めて2組のみで、乗船時間も40分弱くらいだったため、そこまで船酔いはありませんでした。組数が多くてもっと乗っていたら酔ったかもしれませんが。
海が正面に見えるホテルに泊まっていたので、ベランダから「あ、パラセーリングしてる！あれ私たちが飛んだやつ！」って終わったあとの日々もなんか見るたびに楽しめましたね。

On the day of the event, I missed my chance to ride a horse. The bus arrived at the lunch spot in Croa on schedule, and we listened to the staff's explanation, but it was hard to understand. Also, buying tickets was way too complicated, and the lockers for valuables were also complicated and took time. I was five minutes late for the 9:30 riding time and was told it was no good. I tried to negotiate, but it didn't work (laughs). However, I was able to change plans last minute and ride a buggy instead, but I still feel regret. It's sad 😭. Maybe the language barrier was a hindrance. Is it just that Hawaii is inflexible and it's my own responsibility? (laughs)

当日　乗馬に乗り損ねえました。バスは予定時間にクロア　ランチ場に着き　係り員の説明を聴きましたが　話し解りにくく　又　チケット買うにも　余りにも　複雑すぎで　しかも　貴重品入れのロッカーも　複雑で時間かかり　9時半の乗馬時間の手続5分遅れで　駄目　ダメって　言われました　えーっ　そんな　何とか　言いましたが　駄目でした（笑）けど　急きょ　変更してもらいバギー乗れました　けど　悔い残ります　悲しい😭　言葉通じないのが　持たついげいんかも　HAWAII　融通効かない　自己責任ですかね（笑）

This was probably one of my favorite activities that I’ve ever done in all of my visits to Oahu. On the short boat ride over to the sandbar we were treated to live music, drinks, sandwiches and an explanation of what we would be doing for the day.
We started by stand-up paddle boarding, then as we were relaxing and floating we saw a turtle cruise by the area. The captain asked if we would like to see some turtles. Of course we said yes, and he took our small group out to the area where turtles are known to be. What an amazing experience! There were probably more than 10! After that we were lucky enough to have Captain Calvin tell us about this sacred place. He grew up close by.
Every single crew member was kind,helpful and genuinely interested in everyone having a good time. They made sure to explain each activity. They provided snorkel gear, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks. I would say that this is great for couples, families, pretty much anybody.. There was a really cool floating dock with seating and an area with a volleyball net.
Some people had added banana boat rides and tube rides. I think it’s really cool to be able to add extras if you want them. The people who did it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
On our next trip to Oahu, we will definitely come back.

I participated in the first reservation of the day. I was a bit nervous before it started, but once I took off, it was fun, beautiful, and felt amazing—just the best! I was a bit concerned that the color of the sea was different from what I expected and that I could only see Diamond Head at the very end, but I thought it was understandable since it depends on the time of day, wind direction, and weather. I believe I can see new scenery every time, so I would love to do it again if I have the chance. Lastly, I found the time on the boat to be scarier than flying in the air... The boat moves as if it's bouncing over the waves, so I think it's better to be prepared for that!

　朝一番の予約で参加しました。
　始まる前は少し緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみれば、楽しくてキレイで気持ちよくて、最高でした！
　海の色が思っていた色と違ったこと、ダイヤモンドヘッドが終わり間際にしか見られなかったこと、などが気になりましたが、参加する時間帯やその日の風向き、天気に左右されるから、仕方ないかなと思いました。
　毎回新しい景色が見られると思うので、機会があればまたやりたいです。
　最後に、空を飛ぶ間よりも、船に乗ってる時間の方が、私には怖かったです…。船が、波の上を跳ねるように進むので、覚悟して参加した方がいいと思います！

It was amazing. Seeing Waikiki from the sky is exceptional. I made the reservation the day before, but the process went smoothly. The meeting point is near the Prince Hotel.

Be aware that you'll need to pay 1 dollar at check-in. Once a few groups gather, we set sail. The boat can sway quite a bit, so be cautious. You can store your belongings in the boat's shelves, but it's recommended to bring only the essentials.

Now, up into the sky. I tried taking photos with a transparent phone case that hangs around my neck. There were some brave souls flying while holding their smartphones directly in their hands.

You can take plenty of pictures in the air, but don't forget to imprint the breathtaking views in your memory as well. In the end, we dove into the sea to finish. I was very satisfied. You can also request photo shooting for 40 dollars.

最高でした。空から見るワイキキは格別です。
予約は前日でしたが、すんなりと手続き完了。集合場所はプリンスホテルの近くです。
受付時に1ドルいるので要注意。
何組か集まれば出港です。船は結構揺れるのでご注意を。
荷物は船の棚に入れられますが、最小限がお勧めです。
いぞ、空へ。私は首からかける透明のスマホケースで撮影を試みました。スマホをそのまま手に持って飛ぶツワモノもいました。
空中では十分撮影できます。ただ自分の目に絶景を焼き付けることもお忘れなく。
最後は海にダイブして終了。大満足でした。
40ドルで写真撮影もお願いできます。

The wind was a bit strong, and there were some waves, but it was less rocky than I expected. The crew was also very kind and made me feel safe, allowing me to enjoy the experience.

少し風が強く､波もあったのですが思ったよりも揺れも少なく､クルーも親切に対応してくれて安心して楽しめました。

We all had the best fun! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu.
Our group leaders - Jaryn and Sheldon - shared wonderful cultural stories and history with a great sense of fun. Great for all ages - our group was aged between 15-79 and everyone rated it their most fun activity in Hawaii! Thanks Kualoa Ranch!

It was amazing up to 150 meters above ground.
I had a very enjoyable time while looking at Diamond Head.
If you ask the staff for photos, it costs $40, and you can get an SD card.

150メートル上空まで最高でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながら、とても楽しい時間でした。
写真もスタッフにお願いすると40💲て、SDカードもらえます。

The sunset and night view are beautiful.
The service was good, and the meat was delicious.
I paid for a window seat guarantee, but it felt like I wasted my money since only the window seats were used.
The price was high, so my expectations were great, but there was no excitement that matched the cost.
Everyone was unsure whether to tip or not.
If a tip is necessary, it should be stated in advance; otherwise, it's unfortunate for the serving crew.

夕日と夜景は綺麗です。
サービスも良く、お肉は美味しかった。
窓側確約料金を払ったが、実際は窓側しか使用されておらず、無駄なお金を払ってしまった気分になった。
料金が高いので期待が大きかったが、料金に見合った感動はない。
チップを払うのか否か皆が迷っていた。
チップが必要なら事前に記載しないと、サーブする船員の方々がかわいそうだ。

I'm glad I participated as I was able to feel the nature of Hawaii up close. The driver and guide shared various stories during the drive and on the way to the waterfall, which was enjoyable. The view from Tantalus Lookout and the lunch sandwiches were also excellent. I also stopped by the office and purchased Kona coffee as a souvenir, which received great reviews.

間近にハワイの自然を感じることができて参加して良かったです。
車中でも滝までの道中でもドライバーさん、ガイドさんが色々お話してくださり楽しかったです。タンタラスの丘からの眺望もランチのサンドイッチも最高でした。
また立ち寄ったオフィスで、お土産にコナコーヒーを購入しましたが大変好評でした。

We experienced this as a family of four (husband, wife, and two daughters). We drove from Honolulu in a rental car, and what we thought would be just a drive turned out to be a very meaningful time. It is true that our backsides got a bit sore, but I think it's worth it for an extraordinary experience. The area does have some rain, but if it doesn't rain, it's perfect for enjoying nature.

家族4人（夫婦、娘2人）で体験しました。ホノルルからレンタカーで行きましたがドライブがてらのつもりが大変有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。たしかに少しお尻が痛くなりますが非日常的な時間を過ごすには、良いと思います。
場所がら雨がある地域ですが降らなければ自然満喫には最高です。

I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews and participated. At first, the speed of the boat was quite fast, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster, so I wasn't worried about getting seasick. The parasailing was at a high altitude, but I didn't feel scared at all, and I could see many tall buildings, which was very pleasant. My elderly mother had no issues and said she would like to participate again. A foreign couple in their 70s who were on the same boat mentioned it was their third time, so it seems there are many repeat customers!

他の方の口コミも参考にして、酔い止めを内服して参加しました。
最初かなり船のスピードが速く、ジェットコースターに乗っているような気分だったので
酔うかもしれないと心配になることはありませんでした。
パラセーリングは高い位置でしたが、全然怖さも感じず、高いビルもたくさん見えて
とても気持ちよかったです。
高齢の母も問題なく、また参加したいと言ってました。
同じ船に乗っていた70歳代の外国人夫婦は3回目とのことで、リピーターが多そうです！

Our tour guides Jess and Ivan were knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We were on the 2 hour UTV Raptor Tour and had a great time. Highly recommend when on Oahu.

Best tour to snorkel, tube rides and banana boat rides.

Had a great time on and off the boat. Lots of snorkeling, tubing, banana boat, kayaking, and paddling. Recommend to everyone

We took the tour to the sandbar and snorkeling. The staff were friendly and super thoughtful, the food was great!

All the crew were extremely friendly and helpful. Such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Would definitely go again and have already recommended it to a few friends.

Picked up at the hotel at 8:30.
After about an hour on a large bus, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch!
Since we had only been sightseeing around our hotel in Waikiki, it felt like we had entered a different world with breathtaking views! It was completely different from the moment we arrived!
When we got there, a Japanese attendant explained the meeting place and checked us in in Japanese, so we could participate in the tour with peace of mind.
However, since I chose the afternoon tour, I had quite a bit of free time.
I had enough time to look at souvenirs, buy some, and even take a nap (laughs). My husband was so tired from the previous days that he took a little nap on a bench (laughs).
So, maybe an afternoon tour isn't the best option? It seems like the departure time for the bus going there doesn't change. The return bus seemed to leave around 1 PM.
We departed for our return at 3:45 PM. It felt like we spent the whole day!
The buggy tour stopped at various points, where the tour guide took photos and explained the history and movies.
However, all of this was in English... I couldn't understand the English, so I didn't know why everyone was laughing at certain moments (laughs). Even that is a good memory, but I think it would be even more fun if I understood English!

8:30泊まっているホテルにピックアップ。
1時間くらい大型バスに乗って、クアロアランチへ！
ワイキキのホテル周辺を観光していただけなので、別世界に来たみたいで絶景でした！着いた瞬間から全然違った！
着いたら日本人のアテンドさんが日本語で集合場所などを説明してくれたりチェックインをしてくれていましたので安心してツアーに参加できました。
ただ私は午後開始ツアーを選んだので、かなり時間が余りました。
お土産を見たり買ったりご飯を食べたりしてもお昼寝できるくらいの時間が(笑)夫は連日の疲れでベンチで少し寝てた(笑)
なので午後開始ではなく午前開始ツアーでもいいかも？行きのバスの出発時間は変わらないみたいなので。帰りは13時くらいのバスが出るみたいでした。
私たちは15:45に帰り出発でした。1日使ったって感じ！
バギーのツアーは所々で止まって、ツアーガイドさんが写真を撮ってもらったり、歴史や映画の説明をしてくれました。
ただこれは全部英語だった…英語がわからないのでみんなが笑っているタイミングで何で笑ってるかわかんなかった(笑)それすらもいい思い出ですが、英語がわかればもっと楽しいと思います！

It was my first time parasailing. Although it was high, it felt unreal, so my husband, who has a fear of heights and isn't great with the ocean, enjoyed it too! Towards the end, you do get dropped into the sea (but it's not dangerous, just a little wet!).

It's better to wear a swimsuit underneath, but if you're wearing a bikini, it might be a bit revealing, so shorts might be a better option.

We went in groups of 2 to 3 people. The group of four was split into two teams.

Sunglasses, hats, and cameras can be taken up in the air at your own risk! I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat, so I left everything on the boat (laughs). My husband and I commented on how brave the girl with the GoPro was.

Tips are not included, so we gave some to the captain when we got off the boat. Also, they ask if you want to take photos with a DSLR on the boat. We had our pictures taken! After getting off the boat, we paid $40. You can pay in cash or by card. Since it was our honeymoon, we were happy to have those photos! We also received an SD card.

However, there were about two girls on the same boat who looked like they were struggling with seasickness. If you're prone to getting seasick, it might be a good idea to have some medication on hand. My husband and I didn't feel sick at all.

Overall, I was very satisfied. I highly recommend it!

初めてやったパラセーリング。高さはあるけど非現実的なので、高所恐怖症？で海苦手な夫も楽しんでました！最後の方で海にも落とされるので、(危なくはないので大丈夫ですちょっと濡れます！)
下は水着は着てた方がいいけど、下がビキニとかだとちょっと見え方が危ない？ので短パンとか履いたほうがいいかも。
2人〜3人1組で行いました。4人グループのところは2組に分かれていました。
サングラス、帽子、カメラ類は自己責任で空中に持って行ってもOK！私はビビリなので怖くて船に全部置いていきました(笑)
GoProを持って行ってた女の子度胸あるなぁと夫と話していました。
チップは含まれていないので、ツアーが終わって船を降りるときに船長に渡しました。
それから、船の上で一眼レフで写真撮るかどうか聞かれます。私たちは写真撮ってもらいました！船降りてから40ドル払います。現金でもカードでもいけました。新婚旅行だったので撮ってもらえて満足！SDカードももらえました。
ただ同じ船に乗っていた女の子2人くらいは船酔いしていて辛そうでした。酔いやすいなら酔い止めはあったほうが安心かも。私と夫は全く酔いませんでした。
総じて大満足です。オススメします！
