It was an incredibly fun experience racing around the wild course. I dashed through the dust kicked up by the buggy in front of me, getting covered in mud from head to toe, and that was enjoyable too.

ワイルドなコースを走り廻り想像以上の楽しい体験でした。前のバギーからの土埃の中を疾走し、頭から足まで泥まみれでこれも楽しかったです。

Will be doing this again next year for sure! Crew and the band were awesome

It was a bit murky in the afternoon, but I was able to see fish clearly at certain points, and although from a distance, I also saw a turtle, so I was satisfied. I didn't use the Japanese guide because I wasn't sure when to listen to it. However, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed fully without the staff guide or the Japanese guide if you love the ocean and fish.

午後からの出向で少し濁っていましたが、ポイントポイントではしっかりと魚を見ることができたし、遠目でしたが亀も見れたので満足です。
日本語ガイドは聴くタイミングがよくわからなかったので使いませんでした。
でも、海や魚が好きならスタッフのガイドも日本語ガイドも無くても十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。

I initially wanted to book this my first time in Hawaii back in 2021 but it was sold out. I decided to pre book before my trip this year. I am so glad I did. Me and my boyfriend had the best time. The views and history are just incredible. Our tour guides knew so much history and we were so amazed. The UTV was so much fun. You should DEFINITELY bring something to cover your face or you will be eating a lot of dirt. I would totally book this tour again. Totally worth it!

The friendly staff makes it easy for beginners to enjoy surfing right away, so you can feel at ease. After just 10 minutes of practice, we were able to try it in the ocean! Half of us were able to stand up on the first wave! The waves were great, and we participated in both private and group lessons with five people, and everyone was satisfied!

明るいスタッフで初心者でも楽しめるサーフィンが直ぐに出来るから安心です。
10分立つ練習したら海で実践！半数は1回目の波で立つことが出来ました！
波も良くで、5人でプライベートとグループレッスンと分かれて参加しましたが、全員満足出来ました！

There were many reviews recommending the buggy, so I decided to participate, and it was amazing! My wife, who is a paper driver, also drove, and she only almost veered into the bushes right after a downhill curve! She said it was really fun!! During the trip, we could switch drivers three times when we got out for photo opportunities, so if you're anxious about driving but want to try, I recommend starting from the beginning. Goggles and helmets are available for rent, but the dust from the buggy was intense, and my nose and mouth area turned completely black. Having a scarf or a snug mask like bikers use would make photo sessions smoother?! Still, it's better to have wet wipes as well. I read that someone mentioned it was cold when it rained, and we also had a sudden rain shower during our time, so you definitely get wet. If the weather looks bad, it might be a good idea to bring a poncho or raincoat from a dollar store.

バギーを勧めるレビューが多かったのでどんなものかと参加しましたが最高でした！
ペーパードライバーの妻も運転しましたが
下り坂直後のカーブで草むらに突込みかけただけですみました！とても楽しかったそうです！！
途中3回写真撮影で下車する時に交代出来るので
運転に不安があるけどしてみたい方はスタートからがお勧めです
ゴーグルとヘルメットは貸出ありですがバギーの土埃が凄く鼻口周りは真っ黒になりました
バイカーがするようなスカーフや密着するマスクがあると写真撮影もスムーズにできる⁈
それでもウエットティッシュもあった方がいいです
雨だと降り込んできて寒かったと書いてる方がいて、私たちの時もにわか雨がありましたが確かに濡れます
天気が悪そうなら100均などのポンチョやレインコートを持って行った方がいいかと

Every member of the staff was phenomenal. The live music was perfect, and they had a great (DJ style) song list that played while we were out on the water. It was convenient to be able to grab hot food or snacks and beverages at the dock. There was plenty of room on the boat and we didn't feel overcrowded. The one thing I would improve is the size of the activity area. I specifically signed up to kayak, and found that the only option was to just row in a big circle (the area was identified by bouyies). My friend also snorkeled, but there wasn't much to see at that time of day. I think the best part of the trip was when one of the staff members offered to take a few of us out on a small speed boat around the reef. We found that it was affordable and convenient to pay extra for pick-up and drop off.

I loved it, if you don't mind getting alittle dirty and riding an ATV around a beautiful farm along the ocean! I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around. The only thing I wished was to be able to do some donuts in the mud highly recommend!

I had some anxiety on my first trip to Hawaii, but the presence of Japanese staff made me feel at ease. Instead of breakfast, we enjoyed an all-you-can-eat donut feast on the moving boat! The ride was smoother than I expected, and we arrived in no time. The water level was higher than I thought, but the beautiful, clear sea was amazing. We had fun with SUP and snorkeling, and we even got some photos taken along the way. It gets quite cold after coming out of the water, so extra towels and a jacket are essential. Please be careful as the return bus can also be quite chilly.

初めてのハワイで不安もありましたが日本人スタッフもいて安心した環境でした。
朝ごはんは食べずに移動の船で食べ放題のドーナツ！
思ったより揺れずにあっという間に到着。
思ったより水位がありましたが綺麗な海で透き通っていて最高でした。
SUPやシュノーケリングで楽しみ途中で写真も撮ってもらえました。
海から上がるとかなり寒いので余分なタオルや上着は必須です。
帰りのバスもかなり寒いので注意して下さい。

Wonderful staff, beautiful views, and yummy food! This was a great way to spend the morning - we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Everything was so well organized and every member of the crew gave such great service. Will definitely be doing this again! They were on time and took the initiative to explain the different activities and provided everyone the opportunity to be involved.

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

After taking a shuttle bus from Waikiki for about 50 minutes, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Once everyone got off the bus, there was an announcement saying, "If you would like to hear the explanation in Japanese, please follow the Japanese staff." While we were sitting with the rest of the group, others were being called by name and receiving their tickets and schedules, but we were not called... In the end, our tickets were with the Japanese staff, and there was a bit of a delay there. It would have been clearer if they had said, "Those with Japanese names, please go over there."

Thanks to our cheerful driver guide, we enjoyed visiting filming locations from Jurassic World and LOST, but just before the afternoon Ocean Voyage Tour, there was a sudden downpour! Everyone else had ponchos and umbrellas ready, but we were left unprotected and got completely soaked from head to toe. There was a poncho vending machine at the meeting point... I should have bought one without hesitation. Well, it's a good memory now.

ワイキキから送迎バスに乗って約50分ほどでクアロアランチに到着。全員バスから降りたところで、「事前説明を日本語で聞きたい人は日本人スタッフについて行って下さい」と案内があり、そのままその他大勢と一緒に座っていたところ、他の人はどんどん名前を呼ばれ、チケットとスケジュール表をもらっているのに呼ばれず・・・結局私たちのチケットは日本人スタッフさんが持って行っていて、そこで少し手間取りました。「日本の名前の人はあちらへ」と言ってもらったほうがわかりやすかったです。
明るいドライバーガイドさんのお陰でジュラシック・ワールド、LOSTなどの撮影場所を楽しく見学、まではよかったのですが、午後オーシャンボヤージツアー直前に突然の大雨！！皆さんポンチョや傘などを用意されていましたが、私たちだけ無防備で頭から足まで全身びしょ濡れになりました。集合場所にポンチョ自販機があったのに・・・迷わず買っておくべきでした。ま、いまではいい思い出です。

We had a wonderful experience & really enjoyed it!! Would highly recommend!

This experience became the most memorable one in Hawaii. The sandbar made me feel like I was in another world, and seeing the sea turtles was amazing. The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best.

Snorkeling is safe even for those who are not good swimmers. I was considering skipping it before going, but in the end, I joined in, and my parents, who are over 60, also participated. My elementary school-aged children went snorkeling for the first time, and they enjoyed it so much that they wanted me to buy them masks, which I did that day, and they even wore them to swim in the hotel pool.

I brought my 1-year-old baby, and I wish I had taken an umbrella. Even with sunscreen, you can still get quite sunburned. I think it's better for those with small children to have some kind of sun protection. The staff were friendly and great at chatting.

ハワイの中でこの体験が1番記憶に残る体験になりました。
サンドバーは異世界に来た気分になり、ウミガメも観れて、船上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
シュノーケリングは、泳ぎが苦手な人でも安心してできます。私も行く前は辞めとこうかと思っていましたが、結果私も入り60才を超えてる父母も入りました。小学生の子どもたちも初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、よっぽど楽しかったのかマスクを買って欲しいということで、その日に買いホテルのプールでもマスクをつけて泳いでました。
1才の赤ちゃんを連れて行ったのですが、日傘を持って行けば良かったと思いました。
日焼け止めを塗って行ってもかなり焼けます。
小さいお子様連れの方は何か対策があった方がいいと思います。
スタッフの方も気さくでお話し上手でした。

A first-time experience. My 6-year-old grandchild was very satisfied! My 70-year-old grandfather was also very satisfied! The boat staff were hospitable and full of humor! The experience of viewing Waikiki from the sky was amazing!

初めての体験。6歳の孫も大満足！70歳のジージーも大満足！ボートスタッフもホスピタリティがあり、ユーモアたっぷりでした！ワイキキを空から眺める体験は最高でした！

It's helpful that there is a plan with transportation included. So, it's better to wear a cover-up over your swimsuit before going. The voucher mentions that you need to download and bring a consent form, but it will be provided on-site, so you don't need to bring it.

On the boat ride to the location, they will perform and sing for you.

You can enjoy snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking!

For snorkeling, you can go near the coral reefs and observe the fish! The water is clear, so you can see well! I thought there would only be small fish, but there were also large fish and eels. However, be really careful as there are stones and coral fragments on the bottom, and the coral is spiky, which can easily cut your feet.

You can also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but there are limited numbers available, so you can't go until someone returns one. I wish they had a few more stand-up paddleboards available.

By the way, there are light snacks (only donuts), but I didn't have an appetite before playing, and when I went to get some afterward, they were all gone. It's a shame they didn't prepare enough.

Also, the bus drivers for the outbound and return trips are the same, so it's a good idea to remember their faces! (laughs)

送迎付きプランがあるのが助かります。
なので、水着に上着を着てから行った方が良いです
バウチャーには同意書をダウンロードして持って来てって書いてますが、現地で渡されるので持って行かなくても良いです。

船で現地まで行く道中、演奏しながら歌を歌ってくれます。

シュノーケリング、サップ、カヤックが楽しめます！

シュノーケリングはサンゴ礁の近くに行って、魚を観察できます！
海が澄んでいるので良く見えます！小魚だけかなと思っていたら、大きな魚やウツボのような魚もいました。
ただし、石？やサンゴの破片？などが落ちている上に、サンゴもトゲトゲしているので足を切りやすいのでマジで注意です。

サップやカサックも出来ますが、台数に限りがあるので、誰かが返すまで乗れません・・。特にサップはもう少し用意して欲しいです。

また、軽食（ドーナツのみ）があるのですが、遊ぶ前は食欲無かったので、遊び終えた後に取りに行ったらもう無くなってました。十分な数を用意してないのが残念でした。

ちなみに行きと帰りのバスは運転手の顔が一緒なので、顔は覚えておいた方がいいです！(笑)

I traveled to Kualoa Ranch by shared sightseeing bus. Since there were many Japanese people, I felt at ease, but I was a bit anxious because the explanations were in English. For the horseback riding experience, there was a staff member who understood a little Japanese, and the video lecture was in Japanese, which was helpful.

Finally, it was time for horseback riding, but the horse I rode was quite stubborn, and we had some trouble starting. However, I was able to enjoy the two-hour ride. The view of the mountains and the sea from the saddle was breathtaking. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, and I felt a bit disappointed thinking about how wonderful it would have been if the weather had been nice. Also, backpacks were not allowed, so I had to put mine in a paid locker, but I wanted to keep my valuables with me. It would be good to have a slightly larger waist pouch.

クアロアランチまでは乗合観光バスで移動しました。日本人の方が多かったので安心でしたが、現地では英語の説明なので若干の不安も感じました。乗馬体験コースの事前説明は日本語の少しわかるスタッフがおり、日本語のビデオレクチャーだったので助かりました。
いよいよ乗馬となったのですが、私の騎乗した馬がなかなか言う事を聞いてくれなく出発に手間取りましたが、何とか2時間の乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました。騎上から見る山、海は絶景でした。あいにくの雲空でしたが、天気が良かったらどんなに素晴らしいかった事か少し残念でした。それから、リックサックはNGで有料ロッカーに入れましたが貴重品は身に付けておきたいですよね。少し大きめのウエストポーチがあると良いですよ。

I recently went Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours / Standard Daytime Horseback Rides and unfortunately, it was not well organized. The whole experience seemed uncoordinated, and the pictures taken were unusable due to the way we were positioned.

I gave them 3 stars mainly because the two ladies we interacted with were nice enough, and the horses were well-behaved. However, the walk itself was not very scenic, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't do it again.

It's fun, but it really smells like harnesses! If you're debating between a buggy and a zipline, I might recommend the zipline. It feels like you're sliding in a well-maintained environment, so there's less thrill, but on the flip side, the safety is excellent, making it great for first-timers on a zipline. There are places to drink water along the way, so you don't need to bring any with you.

楽しいけどめっちゃハーネスくさいです！
バギーと悩んだらバギー推しかもです。
結構整えられた環境で滑る感じでスリルは少ないですが、逆にいうと安全性が素晴らしいので初めてのジップラインの方とかにおすすめです。
お水途中で飲めるところあるので持ってく必要ないです。

The pickup at the hotel was painless. The trip there was good. When we arrived we were greeted and they made sure we knew where to do, and answered all of our silly questions. The people at the ranch were awesome. Racheal our tour driver was awesome. She was funny, entertaining, and she knew all kind of fun movie location info. We watched 50 First Dates when we got back to the hotel and got to see a lot of the locations used. We did the bus tour and the cruise with the buffet. The food was great, and they honestly didn't care how much you ate. They had cookies and lemon bars for a quick dessert. Their on site restaurant had amazing looking burgers, will need to try if we ever go back. We also tried to the local chocolate bars with coffee beans and the banana bread. It was a bit pricey but we devoured all of it. The ride back to hotel was comfortable. Using Veltra was an awesome way to do the trip, to have nothing to worry about except where to show up, was excellent. We even used them to book our Luao after our trip because of how well they took care of us.

Everything is in English, but the instructions for filling out the agreement and how to use the lockers are clearly posted on the counter. The agreement can be accessed via a QR code on the web. I don't remember if there was Japanese, but you can manage with the translation feature in various browsers.

The instructor speaks only English, but they make an effort to communicate effectively.

During the surfing experience, the instructor will guide you on when to catch the waves, and if you trust their timing, you'll find it surprisingly easy to stand up.

Regarding the standing pose, if you pay an additional $65 on-site, there will be drone footage taken, which will be sent to you after the experience. It was a worthwhile investment for my future surfing progress and as a memorable video.

全て英語でますが、規約書記入やロッカーの預け方はカウンターの上に記載がありわかりやすです。
規約書はQRコード読み取りweb からとなります。
日本語があったか覚えてませんが、各ブラウザの翻訳でなんとかなります。
インストラクターは英語のみですが、頑張って伝えようと努力してくれます。

サーフィン体験中は、波に乗るタイミングをインストラクターの人が指示してくれるので信じて乗れば意外と簡単に立てます。

この立っている姿ですが、現地で追加65ドル払えばドローン撮影があり、体験後に送られ来ます。
今後のサーフィン成長や記念動画に価値ある支払いでした。

The boat ride to the fishing spot took nearly an hour, and we only fished for one hour, followed by another hour back, which felt unsatisfactory. We participated as a group of three, including a child, but they only provided us with two fishing rods. I wish I could get back the precious time and money spent in Hawaii.

釣り場までの船の移動で1時間近くかかり、釣りは1時間、また帰りに1時間で物足りない感じでした。
子供含め3人で参加、釣竿は2本しかくれず、
ハワイの貴重な時間と金額と返して欲しいくらい

Driving a buggy through the great outdoors was an amazing experience that you can't have in Japan! The part where we crossed the river was especially thrilling.

大自然の中をバギーで走る体験は日本では出来ない素晴らしい体験でした！
特に川を渡るところは大迫力です

Everything was great really had a good time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The staff were all friendly and cheerful, creating a very pleasant atmosphere that made it enjoyable! The participants were all people I met for the first time, but we were well-coordinated and it was fantastic!

スタッフもみんな気さくで明るくて、とても良い雰囲気で楽しめました！
参加者も初めてお会いする方々でしたが、まとまりがあり、最高でした！

The weather was bad with heavy rain, but miraculously, there was a brief break in the clouds during our horseback riding, allowing us to enjoy a ride by the seaside. The course was flat and safe for beginners, with a view of the ocean. I believe we could have enjoyed beautiful scenery if the weather had been nice. We had the classic garlic shrimp from North Shore Tourism in the light rain.

天候が悪く豪雨が続いていましたが、乗馬の時だけ奇跡的に少し晴れ間が見えて楽しく海辺乗馬が出来ました。コースは海の望みながら平坦で初心者でも安心なコースです。天気が良ければ美しいん景色を堪能できたと思います。ノースシュア観光では定番のガーリックシュリンプを小雨の中食べました。

I was prepared for only English-speaking staff, and indeed everything was in English. Additionally, there were no participants who spoke Japanese. There were some unfamiliar English terms in the explanations, but I managed to understand the atmosphere, and by following the others, I was able to get by.

The boat was really cool, and it felt very relaxed, as if we could just hang out anywhere. It was perfect for taking photos.

I have done snorkeling a few times in Japan, but the waves in Hawaii were high, making it difficult to move as I wanted, which was a bit scary. The life jacket that attaches around the waist? Having two, one under the armpits and one around the waist, helped a lot. There were staff members who made sure we didn't remove them and kept a close watch from the boat, so I felt that safety was well taken care of.

I was able to see sea turtles floating on the surface and swimming, which was great.

Since the waves were high and the boat rocked quite a bit, those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. Also, since you might get hungry or feel hot, it would be good to have some snacks and water. They do offer soda and alcohol for a fee.

英語スタッフのみとあったので覚悟して行きましたが、やはり全て英語でした。また、一緒に参加する方も日本語を話せる方はおらずという感じでした。
また説明ではあまり聞いたことのない英語もあったので、雰囲気で理解しましたが周りの方に合わせて動けば何とかなりました。
船はとってもカッコよくて、どこでもいいからゆっくりしてねという感じで自由に過ごせました。写真映えは最高です。
シュノーケリングは日本で何回かやったことがあるのですが、ハワイの海は波が高いので思ったように動けず、少し恐怖もありました。腰につけるライフジャケット？は脇下と腰に２つ付けるとなんとかなりました。外すのは絶対ダメという感じでポイントを知らせてくれる方と船の上からしっかり見ている方といらっしゃったので安全面はしっかりしているのかなという感じでした。
海亀は海面に浮いてきたり、泳ぎながらも見れたのでよかったです。
波が高く、船も結構揺れるので船酔いをする方は酔い止め絶対にいります。あと、お腹が空いたり、暑さもあるので、水分と軽食があってもいいと思います。お金を払えばソーダやお酒は提供してくれます。

I felt it was a bit expensive due to the strong yen, but I had a great time. Since my three children are now over 20, I thought this might be our last trip together as a family of four, so it became a wonderful memory. However, perhaps because we went in the afternoon, we didn't see any islands.

円高の影響で、少し高く感じましたが楽しかったです。
3人の子供達も、20歳を超え4人で旅行ができるのも最後かなぁ〜っと思うので良い思い出になりました。
ただ、午後からだったからなのか島は無かったです。

I participated in January and had so much fun that this is my second time joining. We start in groups of a few vehicles, and when we get out at the photo spots, there were many English speakers last time, so the explanations were thorough. This time, there were more Japanese participants, so the explanations were shorter, but they took a lot of photos for us. My friends who joined me also really liked the four-wheeler and didn't want to switch the steering wheel (laughs). Whether it's sunny or rainy, I recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, as they will protect you from dust and rain, so bringing a raincoat is advisable. (Raincoats are also available for purchase at the shop.)

1月に参加してとても楽しかったので、2回目の参加です。数台ずつまとまってスタートしますが、写真スポットでの下車時、前回は英語圏の方が多かったのでしっかり説明があり、今回は日本人が多かったので説明は短めで写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。一緒に参加した友人夫婦も四輪バギーをとても気に入って、ハンドルを代わって貰えませんでした(笑)晴れでも雨でも、洋服と靴は汚れてもよいものを、埃よけにも雨よけにもなりますので雨合羽の持参をおすすめします。(雨合羽は売店でも買えます。)
