We definitely recommend the doors off Royal Crown of Oahu helicopter tour. It was a windy morning but our pilot (Karsen) was awesome. He pointed out many landmarks along the way and provided a bit of background on each.

I had always wanted to go to the world of Jurassic World, and this was a dream experience!
Driving the buggy was really scary, but it was thrilling and amazing!!
The stunning Kualoa Ranch was very moving!
It was great to feel nature, which is completely different from Waikiki!
All the other participants were Americans on holiday, and many were very friendly; they even celebrated our honeymoon, creating a warm atmosphere!
The explanations were all in English (the initial safety briefing was shown in a separate Japanese video!), so I did my best to listen and was able to understand!
I took photos with the people I got close to, and it was a really fun time!!
大好きなジュラシックワールドの世界に行きたくて念願の体験でした!
バギーの運転はとても怖かったけどスリル満点で最高でした!!

参加者は私たち以外全員ホリデーのアメリカの方でとても気さくな方が多くて、ハネムーンをお祝いしてくれてとてもあったかい空間でした!

Driving through the Kualoa Ranch was amazing! Driving the buggy was easy, similar to driving a golf cart, and I just needed to show my Japanese driver's license. The tour is primarily in English, but they provide a Japanese video beforehand. The guide's instructions were a bit difficult to follow. Since it's a buggy, there was a lot of dust, and I ended up really muddy from my face down to my pants.
実際に自分で運転して駆け抜けるクアロラランチ最高でした!

It was our first time on the Big Island, so my husband and I participated in two tours. Since it was our first time booking an overseas tour individually from Japan, we were a bit anxious, but we received email confirmations before departure, which made us feel at ease for the day.
On the day of the tour, we had a wonderful time at the summit of Mauna Kea with our guide, a bright young man named Stephan. There were 13 Japanese participants, so the entire tour was conducted in Japanese. It was very cold at the summit, but we were moved by the incredible sunset. We took many commemorative photos together, and enjoyed warm cocoa to warm up. We also got to see the moon and Saturn through a telescope. However, what surprised me even more was seeing satellites moving here and there! That was astonishing.
The next day, we had a knowledgeable young guide named Moana for the Kilauea Volcano. Since it was just the two of us, we were able to hear many interesting stories in Japanese. The bright red volcanic smoke from Kilauea was breathtaking. The starry sky at the foot of the mountain was also wonderful. That day, we saw the moon and Jupiter through a telescope, and took a lovely commemorative photo in front of the constellation Cassiopeia. We took many commemorative photos at each location we visited.
Participating in these tours over two days was a very meaningful and valuable experience for us. I would like to join this tour again in a different season. I am grateful to the two guides who took care of us. Thank you very much (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈).
初めてのハワイ島でしたので、夫婦で2つのツアーに参加しました。
日本から初めて個人で海外ツアーの申し込みをしたので、不安でしたが出発前にメールの確認があり安心して当日を迎えることができました。
当日は明るい青年ステファンのガイドでマウナケア山頂とっても楽しかったです。
この日は日本人13名のツアーでしたので、全て日本語でガイドしていただきました。
山頂はとっても寒かったですが、素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができ感動。2人の記念写真もたくさん撮ってもらいました。そして暖かいココアにホッコリ。
天体望遠鏡で月・土星を見せてもらいました。
でも、それより驚いたのは衛星があちらこちらで動いてる!これには驚きました。
翌日は博識の青年モアナのガイドでキラウエア火山。
2人のみの参加でしたので、日本語でたくさんの興味深いお話を聞かせて頂きました。
キラウエアの真っ赤な噴煙は感動でした。
山麓の星空も素晴らしかったです。

そしてカシオペア座の前で素敵な記念写真。

It was nice and cold at the summit, but the provided clothes helped a lot. Guide was informative although not nice. The bus to the top is very old and has a poor seating arrangement of mostly rows of three, so couples will be separated. Additionally, if you are separated on the way up, the guide will specifically force you to be separated on the way down in order to preserve your initial seats.
I have an egg allergy and specifically requested egg free food, yet the sandwich I was provided had mayonnaise and I was left with no other options.
The summit was a nice tour but I would recommend a different company. The other buses we saw were much nicer.

During my stay on Oahu, I always make sure to visit the North Shore, regardless of the season. I usually rent a car for the duration of my stay, but rental car prices have skyrocketed since the end of the pandemic.
Since I'm familiar with the North Shore, I decided to use a shuttle service instead of renting a car. Although I didn't have any activities planned, I was able to spend a decent amount of time there and was satisfied with my visit. If I had done activities like horseback riding, I would have had very little time left. Not having to drive made it quite easy for me. I think this is a good option.
オアフ島滞在時には必ず季節を問わずノースショアにはいっています。いつもはレンタカーを滞在期間中借りているのですが、コロナ明けでレンタカー料金はバカ高い。
そこで、勝手知ったるノースショアですので、レンタカーの代替として送迎のみで利用しました。アクティビティなしなので、滞在時間は十分とは言えませんが、それなりに取れ満足です。乗馬などをするとほとんど滞在時間はなくなりそうです。車を運転しないので、結構ラクチンでした。こういう方法もありだなと思います。

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.
I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!

It was a wonderful experience, just like the images suggest, or even better. The course is based on an English guide, but the female guide was very energetic and cute, and she warmly engaged with everyone, regardless of whether they were Japanese or not. If you're at the back of the line, it might be a bit hard to hear her, but she explains things as you go along.
The views of the mountains and sea, which you can't see in Japan, made the two hours fly by. I was really surprised at how smart the horses were. I had a strap around my neck for my smartphone, so I didn't have to worry about dropping it while taking plenty of photos. Photos are allowed, but videos are not. If you're going, I highly recommend the two-hour course.
イメージ写真の通りか、それ以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
英語ガイド前提のコースですが、ガイドの女性はとても元気で可愛くて、日本人、日本人以外にかかわらず明るく声を掛けてくれます。列の後ろの方だと少し声が届きづらいかもしれませんが、ポイントごとに説明をしながら進みます。
日本では見ることのできない山や海の景色であっという間の2時間。とにかく馬が賢くて驚きました。スマホは首からかけられるストラップを付けていたので、途中馬から落とす心配がなく思う存分写真が撮れました。写真OK、動画NGです。せっかく行くなら2時間コースがおすすめです。

This tour was AMAZING from start to end. Yes this is a pricer tour to book; however, you truly get a ton for your money. This is a long event; we got picked up at 2pm and back around 10pm. The pickup location was very convenient right in Kona Town. You are provided a solid dinner, dessert, and hot beverages while stargazing. You get to sit back and relax during the drive and enjoy the wealth of knowledge from the tour guide. Speaking of, our tour guide Art was absolutely outstanding! He was knowledgeable, approachable, and entertaining. Also the star-gazing area is private to tours and had a high level telescope for easy viewing. We were fortunate enough to see a really big shooting star during our viewing. We were also provided super warm parkas which was great because it is quite chilly at the summit. I could go on and on about this tour but I would 100% book this again and personally recommend this specific tour to family and friends.
P.S. Did we say how amazing Art was?!

The voucher mentioned that water would be provided, so I thought it would be cumbersome to carry water while climbing the mountain and decided not to bring any. However, water was only available during lunch, and there were no places to purchase it. At first, I reluctantly started walking towards the waterfall, but it was very humid, and the incline was steeper than I had imagined, making it a tough journey. I took a short break along the way, and realizing that continuing without hydration would be a burden to others, I decided it was best to turn back. It seems that those who participated through HIS were informed in detail to bring their own water since it would only be provided at lunchtime. I believe it's necessary to include such detailed information for future participants. It was very disappointing as this was my husband's retirement trip, and it had been three years since our last visit to Hawaii.
バウチャーに水がいただけると書いてあったので、山に登るのに荷物になると思い水は持参しませんでした。しかし水をいただけるのは昼食の時で購入する場所も一切なくで、最初は仕方なく滝に向けて歩き始めましたがとても蒸暑く想像していたより傾斜がありハードな道のりでした。途中少し休憩をしたので水分補給なしでこのまま最後まで歩くのはかえって他の方に迷惑かかると思い無理と判断して引き返しました。HISから参加した方は細かく水は昼食時に渡すので持参してくださいと記載があったようでした。今後参加する方の為にも細かい記載は必要だと思いました。主人の定年退職記念旅行で3年ぶりのハワイだったので非常に残念でした。

It was a 2-hour course, but it felt very long and was a satisfying tour!

Aloha Kristen, Thanks for the 5 stars and for taking the time to share. I agree with all that you said, including that Izzy is great, but some sort of footwear is advisable. We have one seasoned guide that negotiates the rocky often slippery trail shoe less, but again we recommend some sort of aqua shoes or beater tennis shoes. Keep chasing waterfalls. Happy Holidays.
