Aloha! We are local residents of the island Oahu and have never been fortunate enough to do an activity like this one... until now!
Captain Bob's tour was an adventure full of variety for even the local resident. The sandbar was amazing and a great place to start the activity. We were surprised at the size of the sandbar and even though our tour was a crowded we had ample space to enjoy our own privacy and each others company. There was also volleyball set up in the middle of the ocean for playing and group enjoyment.
We then went to a spot where we saw an abundance of sea turtles. As locals of Hawaii, turtles are no big surprise and are often seen in our waters everywhere. However, when we cruised over the area - they were such an amazing and beautiful sight, that we started to ooh and ahh!
The actual snorkeling was also an experience. The reef that we were brought to was private and well marked and preserved. It was beautiful to swim around the edges and explore. It was the

乗馬初体験で2時間は長いかと思いましたが、馬に慣れて景色を楽しむ余裕が出て、ゆったりと過ごすには丁度良かったです。乗馬そのものについては馬のほうが慣れていて賢いので、こちらがそんなに指示しなくてもきちんと歩いてくれます。景色は壮大で、多くの映画撮影に使われたというのも納得です。機械の乗り物ではなく、馬で歩くのは静かで、自然と一体感があってとても気持ちが良いです。
ただ、英語解説のみのため景色や場所の説明の詳細が分かりにくいことは否めません。英語が理解しにくいだけなら仕方ないですが、マイクを使わないので、声そのものが聞き取りにくく、ある意味何も分からず景色をボーっと眺めながらだけの2時間になって長すぎると感じる可能性もあります。私たちはそれでも十分癒されましたが。
ただしこれはガイドさんにもよるのかもしれません。
参加者は(20人弱)一本の列になって歩き、先頭と最後尾にはスタッフがつきます。そもそも固まって歩かないため、両方のスタッフがガイドをしないと説明は聞こえないので、通常は両方行っているのかもしれませんが、今回は先頭のスタッフのみガイドをしていたので後方にいた私たちはほとんど説明が聞こえませんでした。前方は欧米参加者、後方は日本人参加者だったので、後方のガイドさんは英語で説明しても仕方ないと思ったのかもしれませんが、そこは英語でも説明をしてほしかったです。できないなら、マイクやイヤホン、歩く場所の説明MAPなどで対応しても良いと思います。説明や詳細が分かれば2時間はあっという間ですからおススメ度もかなりUPします。

The location was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to first timers to kayaking and hawaii. This was my boyfriend's first trip to hawaii and I wanted to show him what hawaii had to offer. This tour was the cherry on top. Kailua Beach is one of the best/beautiful beaches on the island. I felt more secure doing the guided tour since I have never went ocean kayaking before. Drew, our tour guide, was the coolest and he passionately knew everything about the location and wildlife. We actually flipped over in our kayak. It wasn't that scary since we had life jackets and the other kayakers and tour guide helped us back on our kayak. I'm glad we flipped cuz after we got situated back on our kayak which was further away from the group, we wouldn't have seen the sea turtle that was swimming by.
The tour started with paddling to an island 2-3 miles away. We explored the island listening to stories and facts from the tour guide for about 30-40minutes. After that we kayaked back

Captain Bob's was one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was very laid back and extremely helpful (served us beer in the water). One girl even got stung by a jellyfish and the captain carried her all the way back to the boat and immediately rendered first aid. 60 of us total and it was not crowded at all. Burgers were good, people were awesome and the snorkeling was spectacular. Saw a few turtles and other beautiful fish. Volleyball on the sandbar was pretty fun too!! All in all my husband and I really had a great time. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!

We have been to Oahu a couple of times and wanted to do something different this time. We really enjoyed our ATV tour. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was friendly and informative. We recommend the 2 hour tour so you can go further back in the mountains. You don't have to have any ATV experience. We really recommend this tour.

今回のハワイ旅行のメインイベントだった乗馬。
2時間コースにしたので、他の日本人は皆無で、旅行中日本人を避けている(自分はバリバリ日本人なんですけどね)私たちにはぴったり。現地へもレンタカーで行きました。
乗馬自体も全く不安なく、何よりも景色がすばらしすぎる!!ジュラシックパークのロケ地になっている渓谷を進んでいるときは、本当に夢のようで、大自然に完全に癒されました。
2時間コースでしか乗馬でここへは訪れないようなので、ぜひとも2時間コースをおすすめします☆

My son his friend and I took the 2 hour ATV tour with Jacob as our guide. It COULDN NOT HAVE BEEN GREATER! The scenery was absolutely incredible and the ride was like being on a roller coaster ride that you have control of. Don't get me wrong it wasn't scary, it was exciting. No I'm in my 50's and I had just as much fun as my son who is 21 and our friend who is 17. This activity just can't be beat!

最初は2時間は時間的に長いかな、と思いましたが実際乗馬をしてみればあっという間に感じました。さすがに観光客相手に慣れている為か対応や乗馬に関してのビデオを見る段取り等、うちの家族は4人共乗馬は何度も乗っていて慣れてますが、まったくの初心者でも安全、安心に乗馬が楽しめます。また乗馬中も英語、日本語で場所(景色)や歴史について説明してくれますので楽しめますし、ジュラシック・パークやLOST等のロケ地の中を通りますので映画ファンにはたまらないと思います。

One of my favorite activities of the trip! We opted for the all day rental which is a steal at $59!! I was a first timer but my partner is, at least, intermediate. I had so much fun! On the all day rental you can keep the kayack for 8 hours but we only went out for about 5 hours...its def. a workout! We were able to paddle out to different uninhabited islands and explore and snorkle. I like the idea of the self guided all day rental bc we werent on a time line and we were ale to go at our own pace. However, if youre a beginner i would def. recommend the kayacking tour. A few of them stopped by the island when we were there and everyone seemed to be having a great time, as did we!! It was great to spend the day in the sun while doing something different... i can only lay on the beach for so many days before i get bored :) If your considering the kayacking tour or just rental...do it, you wont be disappointed!

今でもその映像が思い出せるほど素敵な経験でした。海から一望するコオラウ山脈は、輝く海とは反対に深い神秘に包まれ引きつけられました。シュノーケリングでは青い海の中、海面近くを泳ぐウミガメを発見!数十秒でしたが一緒に泳ぐことができて忘れられない一生の思いでです。サンドバーへ上陸すると、光りの角度によって海が違う色をなしていて360度キラキラとしていました。ガイドの方にシャッターを御願いすると、「この景色でジャンプ」「海に入って座って」などバックに映る景色を変えながら撮影をしてくれたので、素敵な写真も出来上がりました。また、ハワイへ発つ2日前日本時間の23:00に予約をしたのですが、6時間後には正式に受付け完了の返信が届き、安心してハワイに発つことができました。午前中にホテルへ戻れるプランなので、午後はプールや買い物に行けました。事前に干潮の状態を確認して申込みをしたのでサンドバーはしっかりとできていました。

My husband and I are first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted to see some of the beautiful sights but also wanted something laid back. This was the perfect thing to do. Coming from Waikiki Beach we ended up renting a convertible for the day and it was a beautiful drive up the coast. We got there a little early and found several treasures in the gift shop. There were riders with a varied range of experience in our group (including a first timer or two) and a great time was had by all. We opted for the 2 hour tour and definitely recommend it. The back side of the mountain was a little more challenging but still quite safe and great fun. The views were fabulous and there were several photo opportunities including some of the tv/movie locations, our guides even picked some guava from the trees which was a lovely treat. Make sure you heed their warning about wearing long pants as there is quite a bit of heat coming out of the ATV around your legs after a while and closed-toed shoes a

This was my absolute favorite activity that I did in Hawaii. My husband and I were there for two weeks and did a lot and the ATV tour was by FAR our favorite.
The views from valley were unlike anything I had ever seen. If your looking for something to take your breath away Kualoa Ranch is where it's at. While there it was raining, which made it more fun. On that side of the island it rains a bit so be prepared for it. I believe they have ponchos there if you want them. But my hubby and I didn't and we got soaked which was fine by us.
Driving around in the ATVs was exciting. It was my hubby's first time riding one and he had a little trouble. But the instructors were friendly and took him under their wing a bit. After the two hours of amazing views and seeing all the wildlife they took us too a little field and let just drive around which was a lot of fun.
I will do this again on my next trip for sure.

It was definitely worth the money.You can be as active or as relaxed as you want to be.The staff was great with the kids.Unfortunately , it rained on our day so it kind of put a damper on things. The staff did their best to make it up to us. I would only recommend to bring extra clothes and a raincoat of some kind just in case.

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

You definitely do not need any prior experience in ATV riding to do this tour. We had a great guide whom was very informative and spectacular views with a little dirt and mud along the way. Don't wear your nicest clothes and definitely wear jeans and closed toed shoes as you will get dirty! This tour is definitely worth the money!

I've really enjoyed this bike tour.
It seems to be suited for beginner or intermediate.
If you are intermediate biker, don't miss the upper class course that you can request to the guide.
There are lots of bush, rock and the crossing point of the creek.
It's so fun!
You feel more fulfilled.
And Jereny, the guide was so nice guy.
He told us not only the course but also many histories about the ranch.

乗馬は以前からとてもしてみたかったので、今回思い切って参加してみました。クアロア牧場の景色は絶景で、まるでわたしも映画のワンシーンにいるようでした。乗馬は初めてで、馬の大きさにビビっていましたが、私には一番おとなしく優しい馬がわりあてられました。(馬はスタッフの方がその人に合った体型、性格のうまを選んでくれます。私はすごく怖がっていたので、性格のおとなしい馬になったのだと思います。)私がのったヴェリーちゃんは本当お利口さんでとってもかわいくて2時間の乗馬のうちにすっかり仲良しになりました。一緒に参加した友達のクッキーちゃんも、チャコちゃんもとってもおとなしく、お利口さんで可愛かったです。
片言の日本語で簡単なたずなの説明でいきなり乗馬だったのでびっくりしましたが、馬はおとなしくすぐ安心できました。絶対に2時間コースをお勧めします。(きっと1時間ではものたりないのでは.....)と、必ず長ズボンとスニーカー。2時間コースは昼過ぎから夕方にかけてなので長袖のはおりものもあるといいかと思います。
