All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The guide picked us up in the order of Kona → Waikoloa → Hapuna Beach, and since we were staying in Waikoloa, our meeting time was 1:45 PM. We arrived early at Hapuna Beach, so we spontaneously decided to go whale watching from the shore. We were able to see the whales spouting from a distance. Without the guide's assistance, we definitely wouldn't have noticed them. Even with the last-minute change, they were impressive.

After all 13 participants gathered, we set off for Mauna Kea Park. We were told that it was okay to sleep during the first half since we needed to stay awake for altitude sickness prevention later, but thanks to the lively conversation, I was too excited to sleep at all in the car. We arrived at Mauna Kea Park at 3:30 PM. It was at an elevation of 2,000 meters, and Mauna Kea towered high above us. The temperature had dropped, and it was a bit chilly.

After a restroom break, we set off again and arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center at an elevation of 2,800 meters around 4 PM. Here, we had an early lunch and another restroom break. The lunch consisted of a traditional Japanese bento with fried fish and karaage, and even though we had just eaten, we finished it all. The warm miso soup was delicious. As it gets colder as we ascend, I borrowed ski pants to complete my gear (it seems they make it hard to breathe at high altitudes). Normally, they stay for about an hour, but due to the rare good weather and snow at the summit, many people were heading up, so we departed after 4:30 PM to secure a spot for the sunset. By the way, snow at the summit is usually only present until January or February, and during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, making it difficult to reach the summit, which is why a guide who was off-duty also visited that day.

After leaving the Onizuka Visitor Center, we drove on a steep gravel road. Switching to four-wheel drive, the vehicle moved steadily forward. It would be impossible to reach this place by rental car on your own. As we continued, the vegetation gradually disappeared, the clouds came into view below us, and I felt as if the sun was getting closer.

We got out of the car at 3,800 meters, above the height of Mount Fuji. The first thing that caught our eyes was a vast expanse of snow. It felt surreal to have been at a hot beach in the morning and now be in a silver world. There was even a snowman that had arrived before us, and all the participants were thrilled. We rushed over to the snow, but being at high altitude, I quickly became out of breath and felt dizzy. I had to take deep breaths and try to move slowly. That said, there were some foreigners snowboarding and taking pictures in swimsuits...

After a while, we finally headed to the summit. Many people had already arrived at the top, but we managed to secure a position to view the sunset. It was quite cold, so I borrowed a ski jacket and gloves and put on the neck warmer I had brought. Until sunset, the guide took various photos for us.

Then came the sunset. Before the sun went down, the entire area was bathed in orange, and after it set, the sky transformed into a gradient of orange, green, and blue—a sight that words cannot describe. I felt it was a scene I would never see again, and I made sure to imprint it in my memory.

After the sunset, we had to descend from the summit, so we drove down to 3,500 meters for stargazing. Even after sunset, it was still bright for a while, and we could only see Venus. As night deepened, we began to see the first magnitude stars in order. After that, we were able to observe stars and the Milky Way that we could never see in the city. The guide was knowledgeable about constellations and explained them clearly. We took commemorative photos with the Milky Way and Orion in the background, and the stargazing session came to an end.

On the way back, we stopped at Mauna Kea Park for a restroom break and to collect our cold-weather gear. They dropped us off at our hotel, and we arri

ガイドさんがコナ→ワイコロア→ハプナビーチの順に迎えに来てくださって、ワイコロアに宿泊していた私たちは13時45分の集合でした。
ハプナビーチに早く到着したため、急遽陸からホエールウォッチングをすることに。遠めからですが、クジラの潮吹きを見ることができました。ガイドさんの案内なしだったら絶対に気づきませんでした。急遽な対応でもさすがです。

その後、参加者13名全員揃って、まずはマウナケアパークに向けて出発。
後半は高山病対策のため起きている必要はあるので前半は寝ていても構わないとのことでしたが、軽快なトークのおかげでまったく寝ることはなく車の中でワクワクしていました。
マウナケアパークには15時30分に到着。ここは標高2,000mでマウナケアが高くそびえ立っていました。気温も下がっていて若干ひんやり。

トイレ休憩後、再度出発し16時過ぎに標高2,800mのオニヅカビジターセンターへ到着。
ここでは少し早めのお弁当とトイレ休憩。お弁当は日本人が作った魚のフライ、唐揚げなどが入っているザ・日本のお弁当。お昼とったばかりなのに完食でした。温かいお味噌汁も美味しかったです。山頂に行くにつれて寒くなるため、スキー用のズボンを貸してもらい装備完了（高地で履くと息があがってしまうらしいです）。
通常は1時間くらい滞在するらしいのですが、この日は久しぶりの好天&山頂に雪があるということで山頂に向かう人が多くサンセットの場所確保のために16時30分すぎに出発しました。
ちなみに山頂に雪があるのは1月、2月くらいまでで、かつその時期は天候不順で山頂に登れないことも多いらしいので、この日は非番のガイドさんもプライベートで訪れていました。

オニヅカビジターセンターを出た後は、急角度の砂利道。四駆に切り替えて車はグングンと進んでいきます。レンタカーで自力で向かうのは絶対無理です。。
その後もグイグイ進み、次第に植物の姿が見えなくなり、雲も下に見るようになり、心なしか太陽も近くに感じるようになりました。

そして富士山越えの3,800mで下車。
日本のすばるを含め各国の天文台よりも先に目に入ってきたのは一面の雪景色。午前中は暑いビーチにいたのが嘘のような銀世界でした。
先に到着した雪ダルマもあり、参加者全員が大興奮。思わず雪のもとへと駆け寄りましたが、そこは高地。あっという間に息が切れて頭がクラクラしてきました。深呼吸してなるべく体をゆっくり動かさないといけないです。といいながら、スノボしたり水着で記念撮影している外国の方もいましたが、、、

しばらくしてから、ついに山頂へ向かいます。
すでに山頂は多くの人が到着していましたが、なんとか夕陽の見えるポジションを確保できました。かなり寒いのでスキー用の上着と手袋を借り、持ってきたネックウォーマーを装着。
日没まではガイドさんが色んな写真を撮ってくれました。

そしてサンセット。日が沈む前はあたり一面がオレンジ色に染まり、日が沈んだあとはオレンジと緑と青のグラデーションで言葉で説明できない光景でした。二度と見れない光景と思い、じっくりと目に焼きつけました。

サンセット後は山頂から降りないといけないため、3,500mまで車で下山して星空観察。
日没後もまだしばらく明るく、見えるのは金星くらい。夜が深くなってくるにつれ一等星から順に見えてきました。その後は都会では見ることができない星や天の川を観察することができました。
ガイドさんは星座のことも詳しく、分かりやすく説明してくれました。天の川やオリオン座をバックに記念撮影をして星空観察は終了。

帰りはマウナケアパークに立ち寄りトイレ休憩と防寒具の回収。ホテルまで送って下さり、22時前に到着しました。あっという間の8時間でした。

マウナケアの山頂に登れるようになったのは昨年末で、また3月には行けなくなるとのこと。ハワイ島に来たなら絶対に行くべきツアーだと思います。

The guide took fun videos at the filming location of Jurassic Park, which was amazing! The lunch buffet was also delicious! The jungle exploration tour can be quite bumpy, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some precautions like motion sickness medication.

ガイドさんがジュラシックパークのロケ地で楽しい動画を撮ってくれたりと最高でした！
ランチビュッフェも美味しかったです！
ジャングル探検ツアーは車がかなり揺れるので車酔いなどしやすい方は酔い止めなど対策した方がいいかもしれません。

My husband and I booked the Deluxe Circle Island Tour with Kailani Tours online @hawaiiactivities.com a few weeks before we left for our 20th anniversary on the Big Island. We loved our driver/tour guide Alana from the beginning...she was so personable, caring and knowledgeable (a former teacher). The Mercedes van was very comfortable for the 7 people on our tour and we were well provided for with plenty of water and snacks (even with my gluten free limitations). The tour was fabulous, from the Kona Joe coffee farm, lunch/tour at Volcanoes Natl Park, amazing Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, all the way to Rainbow Falls (yes, we saw a rainbow there) and beautiful Akaka Falls! It was great to see the highlights of the island at the beginning of our vacation to get the "lei" of the land so to speak, on the Big Island. This way the remainder of our trip could be spent leisurely exploring the Kohala Coast where we were staying. We highly recommend it to everyone!

Since it was my first time on Maui, I wanted to join a tour and signed up. Just like many reviews said, it was truly the best tour! I was very moved by the sunset and starry sky seen from above the clouds. Our guide, Yamapi, was very kind, knowledgeable, and had an interesting way of talking, which made the journey enjoyable as well. This time, the weather at the summit was good, and I was very lucky to see a nene! I thought I might not have another chance to come to Maui, but this tour made me want to come back to see that scenery again no matter what! Thank you so much, Yamapi!

マウイ島に初めて来たので、何かツアーに参加したいと思い申し込みました。たくさんの口コミ通り本当に最高のツアーでした！雲の上から見る夕日と星空にはとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんもとても優しく、知識が豊富で話も面白いので道中も楽しかったです。また今回は山頂の天気も良く、ネネまで会えてとても運が良かったです！マウイ島にはもう来れる機会はないかなあと思っていましたが、また何としてもあの景色を見るためにマウイ島に来たいと思えるツアーでした！！ヤマピーさん本当にありがとうございました！！

This was my first time participating after seeing it featured on TV. The pickup was smooth and on time. The bus's air conditioning was too strong, and even though I complained to the guide, it didn't help; everyone seemed to endure it. It had been raining all morning, which made me anxious during the journey, but once we arrived, the sun came out, and I felt relieved. The orientation was also easy to understand in Japanese.

All the participants on the E-bike were Japanese. The road was a bit muddy due to the rain, but we enjoyed cycling while taking in the scenery without speeding. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but he was humorous and guided us carefully, taking photos for us, making it a fun hour.

Since we only participated in one activity, we had a three-hour wait until the return bus. I was wondering what to do when a staff member informed me that there was a public bus (THE BUS) stop nearby and suggested I take that, providing me with the timetable. I used that to get back.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

ＴＶで紹介されていて初参加。
ピックアップは時間通りスムーズでした。
バスのクーラーが効きすぎていてガイドに訴えるも効果なく
みんな耐えていた様子。
朝からずっと雨で道中不安でしたが到着したら晴れ間が出て一安心。
オリエンテーションも日本語で分かりやすかったです。

Eバイク参加者は皆日本人、雨のせいで少し道がぬかるんでいたけどスピードを上げることなく景色を堪能しながらのサイクリング。
ガイドは日本語話せませんでしたがユーモア交え丁寧に案内してくれ写真撮ってくれたりで楽しい1時間でした。

1種目のみの参加だった私達は帰りのバスまで3時間の待ち時間がありどうしたものかと思っているとスタッフの方が公共バス(THE BUS)の停留所が近くにあるからそれで帰るといいよと、時刻表とともに案内してくれそれを利用して帰りました。

概ね満足なツアーでした。

Gorgeous views in that island
Drive is easy and welcoming staff there

I didn't have enough time in Haleiwa, so I couldn't try Giovanni's Garlic Shrimp, and while shopping, I ended up missing lunch. Therefore, it's better to think of Haleiwa as just a place to have lunch.

I caught a glimpse of a turtle at Turtle Bay. I had hoped to go horseback riding in Waimea Valley, but since that tour was not available, I opted for a seaside tour instead. Even though it was only 45 minutes, I had a great time and was satisfied to get photos of me riding a horse in a beautiful spot. You can enjoy a free-style horseback ride that you can't do in Japan. The horse was munching on grass a lot, which was funny.

We were split into two groups for the horseback riding, so there was about an hour of waiting time, and I thought about how nice it would have been to explore Haleiwa during that time. However, I was able to go back to Haleiwa later on my own, which was great. But if you want to explore and shop in Haleiwa, I don't think you'll have enough time with the horseback riding tour. The horseback riding tour itself was very satisfying!

ハレイワでは時間がなくて、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプは食べれず、お買い物してたら昼食も食べれなくなっちゃいました>_<
なので、ハレイワではランチするだけの時間と考えた方が良いです。
タートルベイではチラッと亀が見えました。
ワイメア渓谷での乗馬希望でしたが催行されず海辺のツアーにしましたが、45分でも十分楽しめ、景色の良いところで馬に乗った写真も撮ってもらえて満足です。日本ではできない自由な乗馬が出来ます。舐められて草めちゃくちゃ食べてましたが笑。
2グループに分かれて乗馬したので、1時間ほど待ち時間があり、この時間ハレイワの街にいれたら…とは思いましたが。
後日個人でハレイワに再度行けたので良かったですが、ハレイワを散策したり買い物したい方は、乗馬ツアーでは時間は無いと思います。
乗馬ツアー自体は大満足です！

Every detal covered.
Very friendly smooth sailing. Performers are multi talented and put heart into the shows.

Fun for all ages.

It was really great! I heard that the mountains were closed due to bad weather for about a week, so I was worried about the weather, but the sunset and stars were incredibly beautiful!

There was still snow on the mountain, and it seems that being able to enter the mountain in this condition is rare, making it a very valuable experience.

At the summit, it was snowing, and I couldn't see much of the observatory, but when I descended a bit, I was able to see a beautiful sunset.

After the sun went down, many stars came out, and the explanation about the stars was interesting. I was able to see many more stars than I could from the hotel. I'm glad I joined the tour!

I was worried about restrooms and altitude sickness, but there were breaks about once an hour, and they took measures against altitude sickness, which was reassuring.

I thought it was strange to need warm clothing in Hawaii, but I realized that the warm clothing provided with the tour is essential. If you're not good with the cold, hand warmers and other cold weather measures are a must.

I brought my camera thinking I might take some photos of the stars, but I regretted not properly preparing and bringing a tripod.

Next time I participate, I will make sure to prepare my camera properly.

Thank you to the guides. I had a lot of fun. The choice of music in the car was excellent!

すごく良かったです！
1週間ほど悪天候で山がcloseと聞いて天候が不安でしたが、サンセットも星もすごく綺麗に見えました！

山には雪が残っていて、この状態で山に入れるのは珍しいことらしく、とっても貴重な体験でした。

山頂はふぶいていて、天文台はあまり見ることができませんでしたが、少し降りると綺麗なサンセットが見れました。

日が暮れたあと、星もいっぱい出て、星の説明も面白かったです。
ホテルで見るよりすごくたくさんの星を見ることができました。
ツアーに参加して良かったです！

お手洗いや高山病を心配していましたが、１時間に1回ほど休憩があり、高山病対策もしてくださるので安心でした。

ハワイで防寒着なんてと思っていましたが、ツアーに付いている防寒着必須だなと思いました。
寒いのが苦手ならカイロとか防寒対策必須です。

星の写真を撮れたなら〜ぐらいでカメラを持って行ったのですが、ちゃんと事前準備と三脚を用意しておけば良かったと、反省。

次回参加するときはちゃんとカメラを準備しよーと思います。

ガイドの方々、ありがとうございました。
とても楽しかったです。
車内の曲のチョイス最高でした☆

There weren't many fish, and the colors were not very vibrant, which was a bit disappointing, but I had a good experience. Thank you.

魚があまりいなく、色もカラフルでなく若干残念でしたが、良い体験はできました。ありがとうございました・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

We had a wonderful time. Very enjoyable smooth ride in the river. The foliage was very pretty. Easy walk to the grotto. It was fun before when you could go up in the grotto. Enjoyed the singers and hula dancer. Would definitely recommend it.

I knew that the tour would be conducted in English. However, since the order of the meals was predetermined and it was different from what I expected, I felt a bit flustered. Thanks to the staff's coordination, I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much. I believe this is a tour that many Japanese people would like to participate in, so I think it would be sufficient to write on a paper in Japanese: "1. Those with a red wristband should be the first to get up and go for the salad, meat, etc." "Yellow is second." I believe that by simply showing the translated version, it will help overcome the language barrier and allow everyone, not just Japanese people, to participate.

ツアーは英語で行なわれることは知っていました。ただ食事の順番が決められていたので、その順番が違っていたので、あたふたしましたが、スタッフの連携のおかげで、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。日本人も多く参加したいツアーだと思いますので、紙に日本語で書いて「１．リストバンドの赤の色の人は、１番最初に席を立ち、サラダ、お肉等を取りに行ってください。」「黄色は２番目です」翻訳した分を見せるだけでいいと思います。言語の壁を乗り越えたツアーに日本人だけではないのですが皆が参加できるようになると思います。

The female driver conducted the tour by herself and was very accommodating. Since it was in English, I had trouble understanding the meeting times at each location. Waimea Canyon was magnificent and wonderful. For lunch, we had one hour of free time to eat at any restaurant we liked, but there wasn't enough time for choosing a place, ordering, and eating, so we had to gulp down our food and rush back to the bus. Finally, at the Fern Grotto cruise, there was a hula show, and on the way back, we enjoyed singing, a hula show, and a hula lesson, which was a lot of fun. The driver didn't show any signs of fatigue and took us back to the hotel.

女性ドライバーさん一人でツアーをしてくれます。対応良いです。
英語なので各所の集合時間が聞き取れず困惑しました。
ワイメア渓谷は壮大で素晴らしいものでした。
ランチは自由時間1時間、各自好きなお店で食べるんですが、店選び・注文・食事時間でとても時間が足りず、食事は飲み込んで走ってバスに乗り込みました。
最後にシダの洞窟クルーズねシダの洞窟でフラショーしてくれて、帰りのクルーズ中では、歌・フラショー・フラレッスンが催されとても楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも疲れた表情見せずホテルまで送ってくれました。

It was an e-bike tour and it was very good. The staff member who accompanied us took some interesting photos. The ground was quite muddy from the rain the day before, and since there were no mudguards on the mountain bikes, my clothes got pretty dirty. I think it's better not to schedule anything right after. The experience of riding a mountain bike in nature is something you don't get to do often, so it became a great memory.

ebikeのツアーでしたがとても良かったです。
一緒に回るスタッフの方がおもしろい写真を撮ってくれます。
前日の雨で字面がぐちゃぐちゃだったのとマウンテンバイクに泥除けがないので服がかなり汚れました。
その後すぐ予定は入れない方がいいかと思います。
マウンテンバイクで自然の中を走る体験はなかなか出来ないのでいい思い出になりました。

We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and narrative. Disappointed that we couldn’t go to cave,just on platform for a look.
Did this tour years ago and got to sit up in caves and was more impressive..

The ship was heaving too much. My family got seasick. But I could watch whales.

It was my first time horseback riding along the coast, and the whole family enjoyed it. The view from the horse was amazing. For lunch and the ice cream at Dole Plantation, one serving was quite a lot for each person.

海沿いを乗馬するのは初めてで、家族全員楽しめました。馬上からの景色が素晴らしかったです。ランチとドールプランテーションのアイスなどは一人一つ頼むと量が多かったです。

Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. However, the breakfast buffet on the ship was very delicious, and we were able to relax while enjoying the vast ocean view. I look forward to the next opportunity.

残念ながら鯨を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし船の上での朝ご飯バイキングはとても美味しく、広大な海を眺めてのんびりとした時間を過ごすことができました。
また次の機会に期待します。

I only saw the whale twice, and it was just the tail and the spout. Also, the waves were a bit rough, and I felt sick; it was painful for two hours. One hour would have been enough.

くじらが2回しか見えませんでした。それもシッポと潮吹きだけでした。また、波が少し荒く、気分が悪くなり、2時間は苦痛でした。1時間でじゅうぶんでした。

I looked at a magazine and thought, "I just want to go here," so I joined a basic course that included three activities. Among them, the jungle experience was an exciting and dynamic ride that had me laughing the whole time. Next time, I want to try horse riding.

雑誌を見て、「とにかくここに行ければ良い」という思いで、3つのアクティビティーに参加できる基本的なコースに参加しました。中でもジャングル体験は迫力満点のダイナミックなライドで、始終大爆笑でした。次回はホースライディングに挑戦したいです。

The car was full! The tour with 13 people has started! My husband and I are participating too (^O^) We are with five other groups of strangers, and the guide shared historical stories and fun facts about Hawaii that we wouldn't usually hear. The car took us to the Dole Plantation! Next, we stopped for a green sea turtle search! We could see them a little from a distance, but it was disappointing! We went to Haleiwa for an early lunch... Everyone requested garlic shrimp since we were here! To avoid wasting time, the guide placed a phone order for us, and we received our food right away when we arrived! The portion was just right for two, served on a stylish plate lunch✨ It was so delicious!

And finally! The main event of the day✨ We headed to Turtle Bay for horseback riding! The wind, air, and blue sea that you can't experience in Waikiki... The cute horses were waiting for us with saddles on! Each of the 13 of us carefully considered our compatibility with the horses and mounted them one by one... and off we went! Right along the coastline! How wonderful! I can't believe we got to walk such a long distance by the beach! It was definitely✨ worth coming to Turtle Bay. This! This! This is the beach horseback riding I wanted to do! You can't find this kind of horseback riding on other tours! It was the best‼ On the way back, we also stopped by a nut farm, and we had the best day ever! Thank you so much! I would love to participate again!

車満員❗13人のツアーがスタート！
私達夫婦2人も参加です(^O^)
知らない人達5組で、ガイドさんの歴史的なお話やハワイ事情…等あまり聞くことの出来ない楽しいお話しも交えて車はドールプランテーションに‼そして次に立ち寄ったのは、青海亀散策！離れた所で、少し見えたものの残念！ハレイワに行き早目のランチ……みんな、ここに来たならガーリックシュリンプが食べたい‼のリクエストに、時間のロスが無いようにと電話注文をしてくださり、行ったら直ぐに頂けました‼二人で食べて丁度良いくらいのボリュームにお洒落なプレートランチ✨とっても美味しかった❗
そしてついに！今日のメインイベント✨乗馬をするためにタートルベイに‼

最高でした‼
帰りはナッツファームにも寄って下さり、最高の1日を過ごせました‼本当にありがとうございました‼又、参加したいと思います‼

This was my fourth time in Hawaii. I've been to major beaches like Waikiki Beach, Kailua, North Shore, and Hanauma Bay, and since December is the rainy season there, I chose to visit Kualoa, which I had never been to before. People often associate Hawaii with beach activities, but after visiting Kualoa this time, I thought, "Why haven't I come here before?!" I was truly moved by the incredible natural beauty of Hawaii! The location tour, in particular, left a strong impression with its dynamic scenery right in front of me. It was also adorable to encounter the cats frequently within Kualoa Ranch!

ハワイは4度目でした。ワイキキビーチ、カイルア、ノースショアにハナウマベイなど主要ビーチは行ったことがある上に12月であちらは雨季という事もあり、今まで行ったことがないクアロアを選びました。ハワイ＝ビーチアクティビティというイメージを持ちがちですが、今回クアロアを訪れて「どうして今まで来なかったんだろう！」と思うくらい、ハワイの大自然に触れてとても感激しました！特にロケ地ツアーは目の前に広がるダイナミックな景色がとても印象に残りました。クアロアランチ内でたびたび猫ちゃん達に出会ったのも可愛かったです♫

Granddaughter very happy to get the pineapple...many thanks to Vicky!!

Tour guide was very easy going, friendly and funny. Made the tour enjoyable. Takes you to beautiful spots around the island. You get plenty of time for photos

The tour was wonderful! Rob, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had plenty of time at each of the stops, and really got to explore the island. The hikes in Volcanoes National Park were easy, and we got to see a variety of areas and sites. The waterfalls and black sand beach in the afternoon were beautiful. Absolutely loved the day and the tour!

I participated with my husband, but the explanations at key points were tough for me since I don't understand English. (My husband understands English, so he was fine.) Also, the mountain bikes don't have mudguards, so my back and butt got splattered with mud and turned completely brown. It won't come out even after washing. Therefore, it's definitely better not to participate in a white T-shirt or anything like that.

主人と参加しましたが、要所要所での説明は、
英語がわからない私にはキツかったです。
（主人は英語はわかるので○）
それと、マウンテンバイクには泥よけがついていないので、背中とお尻部分は、泥はねで、真っ茶色になりました。洗濯しても落ちません。なので、白いTシャツとかで絶対参加しない方が良いです。

We went as a group of ten, and we were all guided together, with many staff members who spoke Japanese, which made for a fulfilling experience. It rained partway through, but they still made sure we could enjoy ourselves, and it was a lot of fun! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. ^ ^

10人という団体で行きましたが、みんなまとめて案内してくださったり、日本語のできるスタッフがたくさんいたり、と充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
途中で雨が降りましたが、それでも私たちが楽しめるように盛り上げてくださり、とても楽しかったです！
また機会があれば参加したいです^ ^

The guide was very good. Waimea Canyon had no clouds, and the fern grotto was several times more beautiful at this time of year.

ガイドさんがとても良かったです。ワイメア渓谷は雲１つなく、シダの洞窟も今の時期のほうが数倍綺麗でした。

We were seated at a central window table. There was a leak from the ceiling (it was a sunny day).

Right after we started our meal, water droplets began falling onto our food and clothes. Our clothes were ruined, and of course, we couldn't eat. Three groups, including us, totaling eight people, faced this unfortunate situation.

Everyone was quite mature about it; no one got angry or excited. Instead, there were wry smiles of disbelief. But the mood definitely plummeted! It took a long time for them to respond, and as the countdown approached, we were finally moved to a new table and given food near the dimly lit back of the ship, close to the door leading outside the cabin.

We were looked at with puzzled expressions by other guests. We couldn't see the show in front of us, and our appetite had already vanished.

Despite splurging on a good seat, it turned into the worst countdown that I will remember for a lifetime. Of course, the captain did offer an apology...

中央の窓際席でした。天井より水漏れあり。（当日は晴天でした。）
食事開始早々に水滴が料理や洋服に落ちてきました。
洋服は台無しだし、食事はもちろん食べられません。
我々を含め３組８名の方が災難にあいました。
流石に皆さん大人です。切れて興奮する方はいませんでした。逆に呆れて苦笑い。でも気分は大盛り下がり！
対応に時間がかかりカウントダウンが近くなってようやく新しい席と料理が薄暗い船後部の通路・キャビン外に出るドア付近に設定されました。
他のお客さんに怪訝そうな目で見られました。
前方でのショウも見れませんし、すでに食欲はなくなっていました。

奮発していい席を取ったのに、一生記憶に残る最悪のカウントダウンになりました。
もちろん、キャプテンのお詫びの言葉はありましたが・・・

This year, I went to Hawaii for the first time for a countdown party on the ocean!

The ship was so big, I wondered how many people could fit on it!

As soon as we boarded, we were served champagne, and the full-course meal along with the bottle of wine was absolutely delicious.

Finally! We went out on the deck for the countdown: 3, 2, 1.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The fireworks were amazing, and I was so moved that I cried.

It became a wonderful memory.

I want to spend the end of the year on a dinner cruise in Hawaii again!

今年はハワイ(^^♪
初めて、海の上でのカウントダウンパーティー(#^.^#)

すごい大きな船で、何名乗るの～？！
ってくらい大きな船でした。

乗船してすぐ、シャンパンをいただき、
お料理のフルコース、ボトルワインまで、最高に美味しかったです(^^♪

いよいよ！　デッキに出てカウントダウン　　３．２．１．
ＨＡＰＰＹＮＥＷＥＡＲ
花火が最高　　感激で涙が出ました(#^^#)

素敵な思い出になりました♡

また、年末はハワイのディナークルーズで過ごしたいです(^^♪
