I've been to Hawaii many times, and last year I participated in a horseback riding course in the North. This time, my daughter, who became hooked on horseback riding, insisted that we join a two-hour horseback riding course at Kualoa Ranch.
Unlike the North, here we were truly able to enjoy horseback riding while being gently rocked on the horse's back amidst breathtaking scenery and magnificent nature. It was an emotional experience to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and the familiar landscapes from Lost on the vast grounds.
We were a team of six, and our guide, who is a fifth-generation Japanese American, was fluent in both Japanese and English. They frequently came back and forth from the front to the back where we were, taking care of us and chatting, so we had no worries or complaints and really enjoyed ourselves.
The two hours flew by. My son said it was the most fun he had during this trip. I highly recommend this tour! ☆
ハワイは何度も来ていて、去年はノースの乗馬コースに参加しました。そのときに乗馬にはまった娘にせがまれて、今回はクアロア牧場での乗馬2時間コースに参加しました。
ノースと違って、こちらは息を呑むほどの美しい風景と壮大な自然の中を、まさにゆったりのんびり馬の背に揺られて、本当に乗馬を堪能することができました。広大な敷地にある、ジュラシックパークの撮影現場、ロストでの見覚えのある地形など、感動ものでした。
また、6人で1チームでしたが、案内役の方が日系5世で日本語も英語も流暢な上、先頭から一番後ろの私たちまで何度も何度も行き来をしてお世話やお話をしてくれたので何一つ不安も不満もなく、本当に楽しめました。
あっという間の2時間でした。息子は今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかったと喜んでいました。このツアーはお勧めです☆

Before the experience, I read the reviews thoroughly and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick.
Regarding the tips, I had read that they should be paid on-site, so when I saw a paper in a visible spot on the boat saying "Please tip" in Japanese, I thought, "Ah, just like the reviews mentioned!" and was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
However, the costs were higher than I expected, which made me a bit nervous when I saw others going up, but once it was my turn, all fear disappeared, and I genuinely had a great time. The staff offers to take photos for $30 for those who want them, but we decided to take turns with a nearby group of Japanese tourists. It was truly moving, so I highly recommend you try it!
体験にあたり、こちらのクチコミをよく読んでからのぞんだこともあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで行ったので船酔いはしませんでした。
チップについても、実は現地で払うようだということも読んでから行ったので、船のよく見えるところに「チップをお願いします」ということが日本語で書かれた紙が貼られているのをみても「あっクチコミに書いてあったとおりだ!」と思うくらいで、気持ちよく楽しんでくることができました。
ただ、思っていた以上に本当に高くあがるので、他の方があがっているのを見て少し緊張しましたが、自分の番になれば全然恐怖心も吹き飛び、心の底から楽しかったです。カメラは、スタッフの方が希望者に30ドルで撮影してくれるのですが、私達は隣の日本人のグループとお互いに取り合うことにしました。本当に感動できるので、ぜひ体験してみてください!

When I handed the voucher to the staff at the meeting point on the day of the event, I was anxious about where to receive the DVD gift. However, there were many Japanese staff members in the park, so I was able to ask various questions about things I didn't understand or felt uncertain about.
When I confirmed about the DVD with the staff, they quickly brought me a copy of the voucher, and we were able to receive the DVD gift for the Dolphin Encounter we participated in, which became a wonderful keepsake. (You receive the DVD if you purchase even one photo, and the photo was $16.)
The Dolphin Encounter provided a valuable experience, and the dolphin show was quite lively, different from those in Japan. All the announcements were in English, but even the children who didn't understand English enjoyed watching it very much.
The entire park isn't very large, but we had a lot of fun throughout the day.
当日集合場所でバウチャーを担当者に渡した際、DVDプレゼントはどこでもらえるのか!?等々不安になりましたが園内には日本人のスタッフも多くいたので分からない事や不安な事は色々聞くことが出来ました。
DVDの件はスタッフに確認するとすぐにバウチャーのコピーを持ってきてくれたので無事に私達が参加したドルフィンエンカウンターのDVDのプレゼントを頂くことが出来、とても記念になりました。
(写真を一枚でも購入するとDVDがもらえて写真は一枚16ドルでした。)
ドルフィンエンカウンターでは貴重な経験をする事が出来、またイルカのショーも日本とは違ってかなりノリのよいショーでアナウンスは全て英語ですが英語のわからない子供達もすごく楽しんでみていました。
園内全体はさほど広くはありませんが、一日とても楽しめました。

The wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. We had always been doing the Waikiki stuff on vacation in Hawaii before now, but this time we decided to see what was on the Eastside of the island.
And by far, we both feel this is the prettiest spot on the whole island. It is quieter and really does have that "Old Hawaii" feel to it. The tour was excellent, the ranch is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable in answering every question we had.
Our first date was to the movie Jurassic Park too, so that was a really neat added benefit, to visit the place some scenes were actually filmed there! Would highly recommend this tour!

I participated with a friend. The view from the air was great, and we could see Diamond Head in its entirety. The wind felt nice, and it didn't feel too bumpy. Since we took off from the boat, I thought I wouldn't get wet today, but just then, we slowed down and I got splashed into the sea (laughs).
However, since we went out on a small boat that holds about a dozen people, it was quite rocky, and because we went in groups of 2-3, I think you would get really seasick if you don't take motion sickness medication while waiting.
Photos were $30, but not many people ordered them; instead, we took turns taking pictures with the others on board.
The staff were cheerful and fun, and I think this is a great activity for families. I want to do it again!
友達と2人で参加してきました。
空中では見晴らしがよく、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望出来ました。風が気持ちよく、あまり揺れている感じはしませんでした。ボートから飛び立つので、今日は濡れないな~と思った矢先、スピードを落として海に落っことされました(笑)
ただ、10数人乗りの小さな船で沖に出るので揺れが激しく、2~3人ずつ順番に行うので、酔い止めを飲んでおかないと待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔うと思います。
写真は30ドルでしたがみんなあまり頼まずに、同乗している方達と写真を交代で取り合っていました。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しく、家族連れにもってこいのアクティビティだと思いました。またやりたい!

It was a hotel near the shop, so I went there on my own time to participate. I have some experience, but since I was participating alone, I had an instructor with me, which made it easy to surf! We were able to use Kuhio Point, which is just a bit to the left of the shop, almost exclusively. During the lesson, they took photos, and later they sell a DVD with images of all participants for $30. At one point, the owner, Mr. Hands, came by and did some paddle surfing. Everyone was able to ride the waves relatively easily, and the staff were kind. I recommend this for anyone who wants to casually experience surfing!
ショップのそばのホテルだったので、自分で時間に出向き参加しました。
多少経験者ですが一人参加だったので、インストラクターについてもらい、安心してサーフィンできました!
ショップの少し左手のクヒオポイントをほぼ貸切で出来ます。
レッスン中写真を撮っていて、後で参加者全員の画像が入ったDVDを$30で売っています。
途中、オーナーのハンズ氏も来て、パドルサーフィンしてました。

Horseback riding has always been a really fun pastime for me, and I especially thought after seeing the ad on your site that this particular ride seemed different and unique. And it was!
The horses themselves are polo horses....and wow...are they beautiful. Very different from most ranch horses i have seen...and the ride itself...all I have ever been on have been on ranches along dusty trails or in the woods...THIS WAS ON THE BEACH...RIGHT BY THE WATER...IN HAWAII!! I honestly think I don't need to say anymore! On the beach...in Hawaii!

I choose this horsebackriding venue because of the website which stated they are not your typical trail ride. According to the ad we would not be riding nose to tail - that's exactly what we had to do--- also the ad stated we would be free to ride the horses to our ability-absolutely not, we were not allowed out of the line or to go faster than a walk or to go ahead of the guide-who was a most unpleasant woman. Also the beach part of the ride was very limited. The only high marks I give are to the horses!! They were not your typical trail horses. Overall I was disappointed, especially considering the high cost.

Never snorkeled before, but that was no problem....the boat was really impressively clean and well cared for. SOme tours can be kind of slack about cleanliness (bathrooms, facilities, etc..) but not this one...everything was immaculate. Staff was great. Always "on it" as far as service goes, and we had just a really great day. I could go on this tour several times and still enjoy it just as much, if not more, than the first time. Great staff.

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter. My wife filmed from the observation area. It was great to have the opportunity to touch dolphins, which is not something you get to do often, and my daughter was thrilled. We were divided into two groups, and luckily we were in the group closer to the observation area, so my wife could see us up close. Even small children can participate safely, and my daughter was super excited to kiss the dolphins and receive kisses in return.
The optional tour with Alan1 includes a DVD of the encounter, so we chose this option, and it was lucky because it normally costs $40 if purchased separately. Our return bus was at 2:30 PM, which I think was just the right time to see a few shows after the dolphin encounter. If it were any longer, it might have felt a bit boring.
Overall, I think it's an optional tour worth going on, but since all the staff on the way to and from the encounter, as well as the show, spoke English, I found it a bit difficult to understand since I don't speak English well.
5歳の娘と私で参加しました。家内は見学席でビデオ撮影でした。
イルカに触れることなどなかなか無いので、良かったですし、娘も喜んでいました。2組に分かれていて、運良く私たちは見学席に近い方だったので、家内も近くで見ることが出来ました。小さい子供さんでも安心して参加出来るし、娘もイルカにキスしたり、キスしてもらったり大興奮でした。
Alan1のオプショナルツアーはこのエンカウンターのDVDがもらえるので、このオプショナルにしましたが、通常買うと40ドルするので、それがもらえるのはラッキーでした。
14:30に帰りのバスでしたが、ドルフィンエンカウンターの後のいくつかのショーなどを見るにはちょうど良い時間だと思います。
あれ以上長いとちょっと飽きてしまう感じです。
全体的には行く価値のある、オプショナルツアーだと思いますが、行き帰りのスタッフさんもエンカウンターのスタッフさんもショーもすべて英語なので、英語の出来ない私はちょっとわからないことが多かったです。

During this trip to Hawaii, I was determined to try parasailing, but at first, I was speechless at the actual height. My daughter (21 years old) was thrilled and said she could ride it over and over again. It's safe and incredibly fun!! If I had to mention one thing, be cautious of seasickness. While waiting for all the passengers to finish their experience, you might feel unwell on the swaying boat like a leaf...

I heard about parasailing and thought, "It sounds fun since you go to a high place," so I casually signed up. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going. However, once I actually did it, I was amazed! It was incredibly fun!!
Being up so high and having the stunning view of Hawaii stretching to the horizon was exhilarating! I definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.
However, the boat sways a lot, so seasickness is a must... Don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.
パラセイリングと聞いて「高い所に行くから楽しそうだな~」と気軽に申し込んでみたものの、行く前まではあまり期待大ではなかったのが正直なところです。しかし実際にやってみて感動!めちゃくちゃ楽しいです!!

This was a repeat activity for us so obviously we like it before. It is surprisingly peaceful once you are up in the air and the views are spectacular. I like to stick my arms out a la Superman; I figure this is the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm flying. The only negative is my wife didn't care for it the last time, so she just went as an observer (rides in the boat but doesn't parasail). She loves the boat ride so that works for her, but the crew doesn't let anyone go up solo so if you don't have a partner, you end up going up with some stranger. The crew is good at what they do and are very safety conscious.

This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.

We participated as a couple. My wife was initially anxious about joining, but once we got into the enclosure, she found the sharks to be beautiful and realized they were a safe species that doesn't attack humans, so she enjoyed the unique experience.
Even though small fish were swimming nearby, the sharks showed no signs of wanting to eat them, which might have been a bit disappointing in terms of excitement. We both talked about wanting to see more dangerous sharks like great white sharks next time.
We brought a disposable underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures because of the waves. I wish we had bought a waterproof case for a digital camera so we could take a lot of pictures while looking at the screen.
夫婦で参加しました。
妻は当初参加に不安でしたが、檻に入ってみると鮫はきれいで、鮫は人を襲わない安全な種類と分かったので、珍しい体験を楽しんでいました。
鮫は小魚が近くを泳いでいても食べる気配なしで、迫力という点では、ちょっと物足りないかも。

My fifth-grade daughter was scared, but it seems she had a lot of fun. The view from high up was amazing, and we were moved to see all of Waikiki. My husband’s parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, were also very happy. For $25, we had about 260 photos taken with 2GB of storage. They turned out really well, and I’m glad we bought them. Since it was for five people, I think we got a particularly large number of photos. While we were on the boat, we also encountered a turtle.

The waves were high, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. On the boat, I was swaying, and during the experience, I was swaying with the waves as well. When I saw the shark, I was surprised and scared, even though I knew it was coming. They provided a Japanese explanation for the Japanese guests. Since there wasn't anyone among the boat staff who could speak Japanese fluently, basic English conversation skills are necessary for communication.

It was fun and felt like a resort, but since six groups were boarding, we were swaying for over an hour, and the seasickness was intense. Almost everyone got sick. Moreover, we were the sixth group out of six, and when we took off, I felt nauseous and nervous, so my condition was at its worst.
However, once we actually took off, it felt really good, and there was absolutely no fear, so my boyfriend, who has a fear of heights, seemed to enjoy it. But whether we actually flew to the specified height, I couldn't tell at all from a layman's perspective! (laughs)

The explanation before horseback riding was just a simple Japanese video, so I was honestly quite anxious, but once I got on the horse, all my worries disappeared.
I understood that I needed to follow the horse in front of me, so when the horse in front stopped, I stopped too. When it moved, I moved. All the horses were very smart and didn’t stray off course at all. They are really clever!
This time, in addition to the four of us, there were two Westerners participating individually, making a total of six people plus one guide for the two-hour course.
The guide only knew simple Japanese necessary for horseback riding, like “kick with both feet” and “pull,” so all the explanations about the movie filming along the way were in English. I thought that maybe Japanese people tend to sign up for half-day courses, as there were not many participants in the two-hour course.
At the end, we passed by another group of about 20 people, who were mostly Japanese. They had a Japanese guide. If you want to hear explanations in Japanese, this course might be better for you.
The scenery was absolutely amazing, and the two hours flew by! Many movies, including "Lost," "Jurassic Park," and "Godzilla," were filmed here, and we also passed the filming location for the remake of "Journey to the Center of the Earth," which is scheduled for release in 2012.
It’s quite far from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch, but if I have the chance, I would love to join the two-hour course again!
乗馬前の説明は簡単な日本語ビデオを見るだけだったので、正直かなり不安でしたが、お馬さんに乗ったら不安も吹っ飛びました。
前の馬についていくことをわかっているので、前の馬が止まったら自分も止まる。動いたら動く。とどの馬もとっても頭がよく、激しくコースを外れることはありません。
本当におりこうさんたちです。
今回、私たち4人のほかに西洋人2名がそれぞれ一人参加で、計6人+ガイド1名で2時間コースを楽しみました。
ガイドさんは「両足蹴って」とか「引っ張って」とか乗馬に必要な簡単な日本語しかわからない方だったので、途中の映画撮影についての説明などはすべて英語です。日本人はほとんどの方が半日コースなどに申し込まれるからか、日本人の2時間コースの参加は少ないのかなと思いました。
最後、ほかのグループとすれ違いましたが、20名ぐらい?の大人数でほぼ日本人のようでした。こちらは日本人ガイドさんがいらっしゃいました。説明を日本語で聞きたいのならこちらのコースがいいのかもしれません。
景色はとっても最高で、あっという間の2時間でした!
