Unique experience with a knowledgeable and fun crew! Common sense and safety first approach put us all at ease, so the swim was nothing but fun. We also saw dolphins, green turtle and a whale! They even pointed out to listen for a whale song under the water, which we heard!! If on Oahu, this is a must!

Thank you guys for the amazing time! Would highly recommend this trip. We did see whales, beautiful views of paradise, some crap traps, and the site for the open shark dive. We loved the crew so much, we have now signed up for the shark dive! We can’t wait! The crew were fantastic, captain and skipper both knew and shared a ton of great information about the island. They took their time and were not in a rush. The sunset was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better trip!

I experienced the zip line at Kualoa Ranch last time, but this time it was many times more wonderful. Each line was longer and more thrilling than at Kualoa Ranch. The connecting activities like the buggy ride and the vertical drop were better than I expected. The staff were also kinder and friendlier than at Kualoa Ranch.
The downside is that you have to get to the local Kahuku by yourself, such as by rental car. If you have a rental car, you can enjoy a drive along the coastline from Waikiki, and you can also stop by Haleiwa on the way back, making your trip more efficient.
If you're considering the zip line at Kualoa Ranch, I recommend making the effort to choose Climb Works.
前回クアロアランチでジップラインを体験しましたが、今回をその何倍以上も素晴らしかった。1本1本のラインがクアロアランチよりも長く、迫力がありました。繋ぎのアクティビティのバギー走行や垂直落下も予想以上に良かったです。スタッフもクアロアランチより親切でフレンドリーでした。
短所は、現地カフクまでレンタカーなどで自力で行かなければならないことです。レンタカーがある場合はワイキキからドライブを兼ねて海岸線を走れるし、帰りにハレイワなどにも立ち寄れるので旅の効率も良いです。
クアロアランチでジップラインを考えるなら、頑張ってクライムワークスを選ぶことをお勧めします。
Transportation is self-guided. You can take photos with your own smartphone. It would be good to have something to hang around your neck. The staff will take about 100 photos for you. One photo costs
移動手段は自力。写真は自分のスマホで撮れる。首から吊り下げるようなものがあればよい。スタッフが100枚ほど写真を撮ってくれる。1枚なら15ドル、3枚30ドル、全部なら約60ドルでダウンロードできる。

The zip line was high and long, absolutely fantastic! Along the way, we cracked and ate macadamia nuts, and the initial transport was by buggy, so we had a variety of experiences. Although they were out of stock, it seems we could have eaten bananas if they were available.
The tour guide spoke only English, but it wasn't a problem since you can just watch what others are doing, and you don't really need detailed explanations.
You have to jump down from platforms about 10 meters high at two spots, so you’ll be jumping from a height (I’m not great with heights either, but the cable slows down your fall, so it was okay).
Since it was a plan without pickup, we went by rental car. I thought driving would be a hassle, but there are plenty of sightseeing spots around and all the way to Waikiki, and driving isn’t too complicated, so I recommend renting a car.
ジップラインは高く&長く最高でした!途中マカダミアナッツを割って食べたり、最初の移動もバギーだったりと、色んな体験ができました。在庫切れでしたが、バナナがあれば食べれたみたいです。
ツアーガイドは英語だけですが、他の人がやっている所をみれば、特に細かな説明もいらないので問題ないです。
2カ所ほど10mくらいの高さの台からジャンプして降りなければならないので、高い所から飛び降ります(私も超苦手ですがケーブルで落ちる速度は減速できるので大丈夫でした)。
送迎なしプランだったのでレンタカーで行きました。運転面倒だなと思いましたが、周辺からワイキキまで沢山観光スポットがあるし、運転はそんなにややこしく無いので、レンタカーでもオススメです。
If there is something to hang your phone around your neck, it might be great for recording in a zippered style! But be careful, as you won't be able to retrieve it if you drop it.
携帯を首から下げるものがあれば、ジップ姿を録画できていいかも!でも落としたら回収できないのでご注意。

I was really looking forward to this activity, and it was a lot of fun, but the sea conditions weren't very good, and the boat was rocking a lot, which made me feel seasick. However, I was able to see sharks properly and took a lot of videos, so that was great!
1番楽しみにしてたアクティビティで、とても楽しかったのですが、海のコンディションがあまり良くなかったのか、船がすごく揺れて酔いました。
けど、サメもちゃんと見れてたくさん動画を撮れてよかったです

It was truly an amazing experience! The tour was led by a knowledgeable guide who explained everything in detail, allowing us to learn about Hawaii's nature and history. We also enjoyed driving off-road in buggies and navigating the hilly course at the playground. Getting covered in red dirt afterwards was also quite fun. Keola and Raymond were our guides! Keola was the main guide and only spoke English, so it might be tough if you can't understand English. However, Raymond speaks Japanese, so I look forward to future tours.
ほんとに最高な体験です!
ツアーは知識豊富なガイドが丁寧に説明してくれハワイの自然や歴史を学ぶことができます。またバギーでオフロードを気持ちよく走ったり、プレイグラウンドで起伏もあるコースを走ったりと楽しめました。
終わった後に全身が赤土まみれになるのもまた楽しかったかな。
ケオラとレイモンドにガイドを担当して貰いました!
ケオラがメインガイドで英語のみのため、英語のヒアリング出来ないと厳しいかもしれません。レイモンドが日本語できるので今後に期待します。

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。

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

The tour guide was great, the horses were lovely, the scenery was perfect, and the ride was peaceful and relaxing, but you won’t see the sunset on the beach like the photos suggest you will. (It sets behind the mountain across the street from the riding tour, which was a disappointment for me considering the name of the tour and the photos!)
We are so happy that you were able to enjoy the scenery, and the horses provided a relaxing ride! Depending on the time of the year, the position of the sun does move, and it will not always be positioned over the ocean. The sunset name is for the time of day that the ride occurs. Unfortunately, we have no control of the position of the sun, however I hope you were still able to enjoy the changing colors reflecting off the mountains and the ocean.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
