伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ハワイ・ロア・ルアウ(フェアモント・オーキッド・ハワイ内)<土催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

This is a Polynesian show. これはポリネシアンショーですね

Reviewed by: アロハワイー

I felt there were many Polynesian dances. There were fewer hula performances, but the fire show was impressive. The food was very delicious. However, the location was hard to find. Even the staff at the Orchid didn't seem to know much about it. I think I should have asked the doorman at the front entrance from the beginning.

ポリネシアンダンスが多く感じました。フラは少なめですが、ファイヤーショーは見応えがありました。食事はとてもおいしかった。ただ、開催場所がわかりにくかった。オーキッドのスタッフに聞いてもあまり知らないようでした。正面玄関のドアマンに最初から聴けばよかったと思いました。

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Absolute must do this tour.

Reviewed by: Craig utsman

Waipio valley is magical. Our guide Keleo was so knowledgeable and you could feel his passion for his land. I lived in Maui. Visited 4 different islands. And I can say. This place you do not want to miss. I feel like I learned more on this tour than any tour I have ever done in all my travels. Even my 13 year old said it was amazing

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Unforgettable Waipio Valley Tour: A Must-Do Experience for Families

Reviewed by: Kate

My family, including two teenagers, agreed this was an amazing tour and a must experience. Our guide, Kaleo, a resident of the valley, was funny and knowledgeable about the history, legends, and way of life for the current residents of the Waipio Valley. We saw wild horses, birds, waterfalls, and stunning views. We also enjoyed our time at Waipio Valley Artworks while we waited for our check-in. Customer service was also great. We needed to change our time for our tour, and because there was room on the earlier shuttle, they were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour on the Big Island.

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

It's reassuring to have a Japanese guide. 日本人ガイドさんで安心

Reviewed by: とんちゃん

We were the only Japanese couple, so we received dedicated care from a Japanese female guide, which allowed us to enjoy the experience without any worries. We were very satisfied with both the kayaking and snorkeling. She took many photos for us, and by the time we returned to the hotel, they had already been sent to us.

Before we left, she also provided information about a nearby Japanese-owned coffee plantation, making it a wonderful day. Thank you very much.

日本人は我々夫婦だけだったので、日本人女性ガイドさんに専属でケアして頂き、全く不安なく楽しめました。カヤックもシュノーケリングも大満足。写真もたくさん撮って頂き、ホテルに戻る頃にはもう送って下さってました。
帰り際に近くの日本人経営の珈琲園情報も教えて頂き、とても良い一日となりました。

A little disappointed. 少しがっかり

Reviewed by: パンダ

I arrived on time, but there was not much guidance, and I didn't know what to do. I was flustered and confused about the drinks as well. It's understandable that Japanese isn't spoken, but the staff didn't have any smiles either. After it started to rain, there was no guidance, so I returned to my room.
I think the meal was Hawaiian cuisine, but the taste was just okay. I was a bit disappointed.

時間通りに行きましたが、案内があまりなくどうしていいかもわからず、ドリンクも何も分からずあたふたしました。日本語が通じないのは仕方ないけどスタッフも笑顔もないし。雨が降り始めてからの案内もなく部屋に戻りました。
食事もハワイ料理だと思いますが、味もいまいち。少しガッカリでした。

Reviewed by: Maki

It was a day without a Japanese guide, but I still had a great time.

I got to see manta rays up close, which was amazing.

The service at Dolphin University in Honolulu, where there was a Japanese guide, was much better, so compared to that, it was a bit disappointing.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha! Maki,

Thank you for participating in Manta University this time. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience of swimming with the manta rays. It's great to know that you have also participated in Dolphin University! Thank you for that. As you mentioned, tours on Oahu always come with a Japanese-speaking guide, but for tours on the Big Island, it may vary depending on the day and the specific tour. If you have another opportunity to join a tour on the Big Island, please be sure to request a Japanese-speaking guide. We will definitely arrange one for you upon request. We sincerely look forward to your next participation, Maki. A hui hou and Mahalo nui!

Aloha! Maki様
この度はマンタ大学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
マンタと泳ぐ体験を楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。イルカ大学にもご参加いただいたことがあるのですね!ありがとうございます。おっしゃる通り、オアフ島のツアーでは必ず日本語ガイドがつきますが、ハワイ島のツアーは日によってツアーによってはつかない場合がございます。またの機会にハワイ島のツアーに参加される時はぜひ日本語ガイドをリクエストして下さいね。ハワイ島のツアーはリクエストを頂ければ必ず日本語ガイドを手配いたします。Makiさんのまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。A hui hou and Mahalo nui!

Do this! Even if you're not into tours...

Reviewed by: Geoff & Elisabeth

Sunset from the summit! This is a $ splurge, at least for us, but between the quirky Hawaiian history and mythology lesson plus solid science and general kind authenticity of our guide Addison; the "you'll never see a sunset quite like this one" moment; a humbling and breathtaking view looking out at the galaxy; and the luxury of being a passenger rather than a driver, with convenient pick-up and drop-off...totally worth it. Thanks for the highlight!

ワイピオ渓谷観光ツアー 窓ガラス無しの四輪駆動車で遮るもののない壮大な景色を堪能!約366メートル滝やタロイモ水田など写真スポット多数<1.5時間/英語ガイド>

Witnessing the majestic canyon 雄大な渓谷を目の当たりに

Reviewed by: うさぎ

After gathering at the designated store, we all got into a jeep and headed to the location. Waipi'o Valley can only be accessed by those recognized by the country, so tourists must join a tour to visit (although it can be viewed from the observation deck).

During the tour, we crossed rivers in the jeep, received explanations about the plants, and sometimes stopped to observe wildlife, allowing us to have various experiences. While Hawaii is strongly associated with the ocean, this trip made me realize that there are jungles like this as well.

指定のお店に集合した後、みんなでジープに乗って、現地に向かいます。
ワイピオ渓谷は、国で認められた人しか立ち入るかとができないので、旅行客はツアーに参加しないと行くことができません(展望台から見ることはできます)。

ツアー中は、ジープで川を渡ったたり、植物の説明を受けたり、時には立ち止まって、野性動物を見たり、と様々な経験をさせてもらいました。海のイメージが強いハワイですが、このようなジャングルもあるのだと感じることができる旅でした。

Reviewed by: COCO

I participated in a helicopter tour of the Big Island! The pilot was Toshi, who recently became a grandfather and has semi-retired. I felt very lucky to meet Toshi on this trip!

From the moment we headed to the helicopter, my excitement soared, and it reached its peak during takeoff! I was moved by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Big Island spread out below me.

The landing and takeoff at the cliffs of Kohala Coast and the 365-meter drop of Punalu'u Falls were absolutely thrilling!

As I flew, reflecting on the history from the birth of the Big Island to the present, I was reminded of how short and precious life is.

It was truly priceless! I highly recommend it!

ビッグアイランドのヘリコプター遊覧ツアーに参加しました!パイロットはToshiさん、お孫さんが産まれて、セミリタイアされたとの事。今回、Toshiさんにお会い出来たのは、非常にラッキーでした!
ヘリに向かう時からテンションが上がり、テイクオフでMAXに到達!眼下に広がるビッグアイランドの大自然に感動しました(^^)
特にコハラ海岸の断崖絶壁と、落差365mのプナルルの滝へのランディング&テイクオフは迫力満点でした!
ビッグアイランドの誕生から今に至る迄の、歴史に思いを馳せながらのフライトは、人の一生が如何に短く、如何に大切か、改めて感じる事が出来ました!
