Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Hollywood movie tour

Reviewed by: Andy

Not what we expected, drove round the hillsides in a bus looking at sign boards that said what was filmed there. Holes dug in the ground claiming they were dinosaur footprints but had to be filled in because cows were falling in them. Also film props of bones that were too fragile to be touched as they will break as they were made of polystyrene... really!

Amazing experience

If you have the chance to go parasailing do it! Especially with this company. Amazing crew and easy check in. The experience is amazing and for about 80-100 photos you can pay 40
Dollars and get all those amazing pictures while In the air. They don’t ask for tip but please do it as they deserve it for making the experience memorable.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! It was a perfect morning, kayaking out with Steve on a SUP. He was super informative and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and happy.

Hawaiian Parasailing Tour & Adventure from Waikiki Beach [800ft & 1000ft Lines]

Hawaiin Trip Must Do-- Parasailing!

Reviewed by: PDouble

This was my second parasailing adventure, and like my first time the experience didn't disappoint. The captain and his first mate were helpful, friendly and even humorous. They explained the rules and expectations but kept it light and fun. The boat ride out to sea was a little choppy but the views of the crystal blue waters and the Waikiki skyline during parasailing were as advertised. The only ding I'd give the tour is around the logistics for the meeting location. The address provided wasn't precise enough for our Uber driver so we ended up getting dropped off a few hundred yards from the expected meeting point.

Ko Olina Zipline Adventure at Coral Crater Adventure Park on Oahu - Six & Three Line Courses

Not great but not terrible.

Reviewed by: Unsatisfied

So as soon as you get there, it's a little discouraging. It says adventure park, right. Well when you walk back, there are a lot of roosters , chickens and goats on the property. There are benches under an awning where you sit and wait. The instructors did well in gearing us up and taking us out so 5 starts to them. On the course, they should really think of changing out the cushion blood stained mats! LIKE SERIOUSLY! They seemed to have a nice course for the atv's but even the instructor said "not worth it, no power steering"
Our party had people that didn't want to zipline. So we thought adventure park, certainly they'll be something for them to do. We were so wrong! Instead they had to wait for us with the roosters chickens and goats. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else. Whoever did their website is a genius because they made the park look like something it isn't. Enjoy the pictures I've added, including the selfie with the goat. SMH!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Pretty Nice

Reviewed by: Lydia

Overall we enjoyed this adventure.
-The staff was very good. They were both informative and entertaining.
- We went on a very windy day, but they managed the ocean well and got us to our destination.
- We managed to see a couple of nice sized Sharks while we were out. The cage was very secure and you had no feelings of not being safe.
- I had an AMAZING time, but my husband, who can't handle the sea travel, got sick.

Had a good time and would definitely recommend.

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Incredible, fun experience worth doing every time I visit Oahu!

Reviewed by: Jessica Gan

I booked this as a spontaneous adventure for my parents and siblings first time visiting Oahu. None of us are super outdoorsy people (I don't even know how to swim) but we had a blast with this experience. The crew was fun, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of nervousness and anxiety with an experience like this but I felt at ease with them with their experience at sea and knowledge of the sharks we encountered. I loved that they loved what they do. I loved that we all shared the same respect and awe for the sharks.

We were fortunate enough to see 2 tiger sharks and dolphins on the way back!! Even my mom who was brought along as just an observer had an incredible experience on the boat ride and took some awesome pics! I wish I had prior experience working with snorkeling gear and learning breathing techniques to stay down longer to spend more time seeing the beautiful tiger sharks we saw. Next time, because there for sure will be, I'll be ready to handle the currents, my breathing techniques, and will bring my own GoPro! Can't wait for next time! Thank you to the amazing Hawaii Shark Encounters crew!

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

Definitely a must-do at least once in your life! 人生で一度はぜひ!

Reviewed by: なっちゃん

The view of Honolulu from a height of 150 meters is amazing! There were two crew members, and the one piloting the boat was fantastic at controlling it, intentionally dropping us into the water (just for fun, of course) and then lifting us back up. The person who prepared and explained everything took photos for us and entertained us with jokes.

You can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.

You should definitely experience this at least once in your life!

150メートルの高さから見るホノルルの景色は素晴らしいです!
クルーの方が2名いらっしゃって、船の操縦の方は、コントロールが素晴らしいのだと思いますが、わざと海に落としたり(もちろん楽しい程度に)、また浮かしてくれたり。
準備や説明をして下さる方は、写真を撮ってくれたり、ジョークで楽しませてくれたり。
英語ができなくても、十分楽しめます。

人生で一度はぜひ!!

I have experienced horseback riding before, but this one is a long-distance ride of about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
In the great outdoors, there are points of interest such as mountains, the sea, and buildings, creating a route that keeps you engaged.
Honestly, the explanations are all in English, so those who do not understand English may not grasp the details, but I think you can enjoy the great outdoors without any issues.

これまで同様のホースバック体験はしたことありますが、ここは1時間45分程度の長距離になります。
大自然の中、山々や海、建造物などのポイントがあり
飽きさせないような経路作りとなっております。

Reviewed by: Nikki

My partner and I absolutely loved their sunset cruise! Their entire crew was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The day we boarded was just myself, my partner and another family of four, which made it a very relaxing and peaceful day experience. The music, food, and history was something we will never forget. Even though the water was calm that day, don’t forget dramamine if you get easily sea sick like myself! I felt so bad for probably looking so uncomfortable, because it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful for the chance to have been on board with them.
