All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The weather was great.
I participated during winter break last year.
It felt like rice planting.
After all, it's summer vacation.
Our guide, Kaz, is on his third time.
He takes good care of us and is the best.

天気も最高。
去年は冬休みに参加。
田植えみたいだった。
やっぱり、夏休みだね。
案内人のカズさんは三回目。
面倒見が良くて、最高です。

Everything about our sunset cruise was first rate. From the excellent staff to amazing food . An evening I sill never forget.

This time, my daughter and I signed up for this highly rated tour as it was our first time on Maui. At Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, we enjoyed freshly made, warm, delicious doughnuts. We decided not to take motion sickness medication since we would be taking breaks on the way to the summit, but my daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit nauseous, so I thought it would have been better to take the medicine just in case. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see the sunset, the colors of the clouds and sky were very beautiful. During the stargazing, we were able to see many stars through a large telescope, including the rings of Saturn and the bands of Jupiter. Later, while listening to our guide's wonderful stories, I had to interrupt to go to the restroom, but I was glad there was a restroom at the summit. I think it's reassuring for those who need to be close to a restroom. This was the best tour I've ever been on, with everything provided, including jackets, tea, and chairs. We also visited the steak and dim sum places that we were recommended, and they were very delicious.

今回娘と2人で、初マウイ島ということで、評価も高いこのツアーに申し込みました。
クリスピークリームドーナツでは、出来立てのホカホカの美味しいドーナツをいだきました。
山頂まで、休み休み行くということで酔い止めは飲まずにいきましたが、酔いやすい娘はちょっとよってしまったので、念のため薬を飲んで行けばよかったと思いました。
雲が多く、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、雲や空の色はとてもきれいでした。
星空観測では、大きな天体望遠鏡で、たくさんの星をみることができ、土星の輪や、木星の線までしっかり見えました。
その後、ガイドさんのとてもいいお話を伺っている途中、トイレに行きたくなり話の腰を折ってしまいましたが、山頂にもトイレがあって良かったです。トイレが近い方にも安心だと思います。
上着やお茶、椅子等、至れり尽くせりの今までで一番のとてもよいツアーでした。
また、教えてもらったステーキやヤムチャのお店も行きました。とても美味しかったです。

Maui is such a beautiful place! Our tour guide Ray greeted us with an energy that carried us throughout the island. He was infectous with his laughter and humor! His knowledge and ability to steer us in the right direction is exactly what you look for. He stayed with us and took a bathe with us at the waterfall while taking pictures. Allowed us sufficient time to roam around at each stop. Made us 50 lbs heavier at the end of the trip but made sure we ate delicious items and a typical Hawaiian lunch not sandwiches and cold cuts. He had snacks and homemade pastries which you can never go wrong with. Handled the winding road with ease and never put us in harm's way! Thanks for the beautiful journey on The Road to Hana.

This tour was quite an adventure, complete with beautiful views, good food, and of course an exciting ride. Ty, our guide, shared all kinds of historic and pop culture facts related to the ranch. We learned a little about the original irrigation system from the ranch's early plantation days and even got to walk the full length of an irrigation tunnel and explored a small cave. We also saw a recent Hawaii Five-0 filming location, hand fed some cows, and ate fresh tropical fruit right off the plant. Ty also let us set the pace for the ride...we chose fast and rough and he did not disappoint. A couple times I thought we were going to spin out or flip over, which is exactly what we wanted!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure.

People who are prone to motion sickness might find it tough. I was fine, but there were others who looked like they were struggling. The freshly peeled macadamia nuts were incredibly delicious!

乗り物に酔いやすい人はキツイかもしれません。私は平気でしたが、しんどそうにしている人もいました。
剥きたばかりのマカダミアンナッツはすごく美味しかったです！

This was a perfect adventure. It's a long day, if only there were more hours in the day and a share driver. It's a tough drive on any driver, even the tour drivers. Well worth it, every cent. And quite entertaining. The views and the stops were quite diverse, amazing Maui
Thanks Scully

Due to my child's poor health, I called at 5 PM the day before and was able to postpone our participation by one day. Thank you for your flexible response.

The half-day tour on the day was enjoyable with a funny guide named MAKI from Ibaraki. I also appreciate the guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center for their clear explanations.

However, the reason I did not give a five-star rating is that the dinner menu was only on the table, and I didn't know how to proceed. It was a buffet style, wasn't it? The menu on the table was for the buffet. I would have appreciated a brief explanation about that.

The subsequent night show was also wonderful and enjoyable. I would like to meet MAKI again. Thank you very much.

That's all.

子供の体調が悪かったため、前日の１７時に電話し、参加を一日ずらせてもらえました。臨機応変に対応いただきありがとうございました。

当日の半日観光は、MAKIさんという茨城出身の面白いガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターのガイドのお兄さんも、わかりやすく案内いただきありがとうございました。

しかし、評価が星５つではないのは、夕食が、メニューだけ机にあり、どう行動したら良いかわからなかったことです。バイキング形式だったんですね。机の上のメニューは、バイキングのメニューだったんですね。
そのような説明が一言、欲しかったです。

その後のナイトショーもすばらしく、良かったです。
また、MAKIさんに会いたいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

以上

I participated in a tour that allowed my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to enjoy the streets of Haleiwa, garlic shrimp, horseback riding, and more all at once. Our guide, Masa, shared interesting stories, and the comfortable car ride made it a delightful experience for both my mother and my elementary school-aged nieces. I was worried because previous reviews mentioned that there wasn't enough time for lunch, but our guide took our request for garlic shrimp in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. If I could be a bit greedy, I would have loved to explore Haleiwa for another 15 minutes.

ハワイ初来訪の母にハレイワの街並みやガーリックシュリンプ、乗馬などを一度に楽しめるツアーを探して今回参加しました。
ガイドのマサさんのお話も興味深く、楽チンな車での移動で母も小学生の姪っ子達も大満喫してくれました。
以前の口コミでは「ランチを食べる時間が少ない」とあったので心配していましたが、事前にガイドさんがガーリックシュリンプのリクエストを聞いて予約してくれたので、ゆっくり食べることが出来ました。贅沢を言えば、あと15分くらいハレイワ散策出来たらうれしいです。

There were few Japanese people, and many locals... The show that starts with the entrance of Kamehameha was quite good. It wasn't very large, but it was compactly organized, and we could see well. The food was Hawaiian, and it was delicious. The show featured hula dances that told the story of humans being born from taro, hula dedicated to Kamehameha, and hula from various islands like Tahiti and New Zealand... all were skillful and full of highlights. I highly recommend this luau when visiting the Big Island.

日本人が少なくて、地元の方多し。。。カメハメハの入場から始まるショーはなかなかよいです。そんなに広くありませんでしたが、コンパクトにまとまっており、よく見れました。食事もハワイアンフードでしたが、おいしかったです。ショーもタロイモから人間が生まれ、カメハメハに捧げるフラ、そしてタヒチ、ニュージー等々の各諸島のフラ、、どれも上手で見どころ満点でした。ハワイ島の際はぜひおすすめしたいルアウです。

It was a tour where I could feel the thoughtful care in every detail. They gradually increased the altitude while allowing us to rest, so everyone in the group was energetic. It was great to receive warm clothing, gloves, and hot tea.

The sunset felt like it was sinking into the clouds, but the beauty of the starry sky afterward was beyond words! The tour seems to be fully booked continuously, so if you’re not careful, you might miss out. The price is slightly higher than the English tours, but it’s definitely worth it.

日本語で細やかな心遣いが感じられるツアーでした。少しずつ高度を上げて休みながら山頂まで行ってくださるので、参加メンバー全員元気でした。防寒着や手袋、暖かいお茶まで戴けて良かったです。
サンセットは雲に沈む感じでしたが、その後の星空の素晴らしかったことは筆舌に尽くしがたい❗モノでした。ツアーは満席続きらしくのんびりしていたら、取れなかったです。英語ツアーよりも多少価格は高くなりますが、絶対お得です

I visited seven years ago and was moved once again!!! This time, the season was great, and both the sunset and starry sky were breathtaking.

It truly became a wonderful memory for my husband's 60th birthday celebration. I hope to meet Yamapi again!!!

7年前に伺い、感動をもう一度！！！
今回は季節も良く、夕陽も星空も感動的なものでした。

本当に主人の還暦祝いに良い記念となりました。
ヤマピーとまたお会い出来ることを願って！！！

My son wanted to see an authentic fire show, so we participated for the first time.

There were many foreign guests. The bus guide's high-energy talk was in English, and it was enjoyable.

The entire show was well-structured, combining experience, participation, and viewing, and we had a great time. If the food had been a bit tastier, it would have received a "perfect!" rating.

Great tour. Ask for tour guide, Neddy. That’s all I have to say! She was awesome.

I went in February.
I was very satisfied to see many whales.
It became a good memory.
It was difficult to take photos, but it was fun.

2月に行きました。
たくさんのクジラを見ることができて大満足でした。
良い思い出になりました。
写真を撮るのは難しかったですが、楽しかったです。

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

I accidentally forgot to bring my winter clothes, so I layered two T-shirts, wore a fleece, and covered myself with a hotel bath towel to enjoy the view. It was 8 degrees, so I managed somehow.

There were several buses from the same tour company, and many individuals came as well, exceeding the space available for viewing. People gathered tightly next to the visitor center to watch, but even though it was cold, it's better to secure a spot early rather than waiting in the car until the last minute. There were many large individuals, making it difficult to peek through the gaps to take photos.

うっかり防寒着を持参するのを忘れて、Tシャツ２枚を重ね着、フリースを来て、ホテルのバスタオルを被って鑑賞しました。8度でしたのでどうにかなりました。
同じツアー会社のバスが数台、個人で来ている人たち、観覧スペースの広さ以上にたくさんの人が来ています。ビジターセンターの横で鈴なりになって鑑賞するのですが、寒くてもギリギリまで車中で待たずに、早く場所を取ったほうがいいです。大柄の方が多くて、隙間から覗いて写真を撮るのが大変でした。

This tour is the best way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our curious and random questions. He did an excellent job of corralling such a large group in time to move from one exhibit to the next. We would have been lost without him. My favorite part of the tour was the boat ride out to the Arizona Memorial. Even though the memorial was closed at the time, seeing the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri up close out on the water was quite humbling and awe-inspiring. Visiting Pearl Harbor is a top Oahu destination, and this tour is the best way to go!

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

Outstanding outing discovering the island, its mysteries, its volcanoes, the life of its people. Thank you Uncle Jim to have made this day so lively and personalized to our group.

I participated in the Haleakalā tour for the first time with my 13-year-old daughter.

We took regular breaks, including coffee breaks, while climbing, which made us feel at ease. Women don’t have to worry about restroom facilities.

On the day of the tour, it was a new moon, and the city lights were blocked by a thick sea of clouds, creating perfect conditions. We were able to enjoy the best sunset and a sky full of stars.

Mr. Yamauchi's guiding and talks were enjoyable, and we had an unforgettable day.

I highly, highly recommend the Maui All Stars sunset viewing and stargazing tour!

13歳の娘と二人で初めてのハレアカラツアーに参加しました。

途中コーヒーブレイクなどこまめに休憩を取りながら登っていくので安心です。
女性はトイレの心配もないです。

当日は新月、そして街の灯は厚い雲海に遮られ絶好のコンディション。最高の夕陽と満天の星空を鑑賞することができました。

山内さんのガイドもトークも楽しくて、忘れられない一日を過ごしました。

マウイオールスターズの夕陽鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー強く強くお勧めします

The explanation provided by the Japanese guide was very helpful. Since it was my first time visiting Haleiwa, I appreciated learning about the sightseeing points and riding precautions in advance. The sightseeing information shared during the shuttle ride was also very informative, with many things I had not known before. The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, and my children (ages 6 and 8) were able to ride independently and said they had a lot of fun. The 6-year-old was being led by a rope at the front, which made it reassuring as the horse did not stray to the side.

日本人ガイドの方の事前の説明がとても参考になりました。
ハレイワ観光も初めてだったので短時間での観光のポイントや、乗馬での注意点もあらかじめ教えてもらえてよかったです。
送迎車内の観光案内も初めて知ったことも多くてためになりました。
乗馬自体は子ども（6歳8歳）も一人で乗れてとても楽しかったと言っていました。
6歳は先頭の方に綱で引いてもらっており、馬が横に逸れたりしないので安心でした。

Very entertaining show; we had a great time! Wonderful dancers!

This was our first time in Hawaii so we wanted to see as much of Oahu as we could and this tour was a great way to do it. Our driver/tour guide/waiter Steve was excellent; filling us in with fun facts about Waikiki and the places we passed along the way, recommendations for activities and places to eat and restroom breaks along the way! Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.

We had a great time and what was the show in a European movie theater in the morning here in london on the way out hades was a bit like a ride to get the little one..made of

The sun sinking into the sea of clouds was breathtaking, and the colors of the sky after it set were so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was divine and incredibly moving!!! I could clearly see the Mauna Kea Observatory on the summit of the Big Island to the south. The starry sky was so close and filled with countless stars, and the Milky Way was vividly visible. I was overwhelmed with emotion as I looked at Jupiter, Saturn, and the Milky Way through the telescope!!!

雲海に沈んでいく太陽、沈んだ後の空の色も美しくて目が離せず、神々しくて大感動!!! 南側にハワイ島山頂マウナケア天文台がしっかり見えました。
星が降るような近くてたくさんの星空、天の川もくっきり見え、さらに望遠鏡で木星、土星、天の川を見て、感動が止まりませんでした!!!

I participated on July 31.
There were so many participants that the car was full.
Since the pickup was at 2 AM, I was fast asleep in the car.
By the time we arrived at Haleakalā, it was starting to get bright, and we were able to see the sunrise about 20 minutes after getting off the bus.
I was worried because there were a lot of clouds, but it was a beautiful sunrise.
The temperature was extremely cold!
With the wind, it felt like winter!
A down jacket is absolutely essential.
I took photos while shivering. (laughs)
After watching the sunrise, we returned to the car and received bread and coffee.
I was very happy to have warm coffee!
After that, we went down to have breakfast and returned to the hotel around 10 AM.
It was a wonderful experience.

7月31日に参加しました。
車はいっぱいになるくらい参加者がいました。
ピックアップが午前２時だったので
車中は爆睡でした
ハレアカラに着いた時はもう明るくなりつつあり、バスから降りて、２０分くらいで日の出を見ることができました。
雲が多くて大丈夫かな？と思っていましたが、綺麗なサンライズでした。
気温はめちゃくちゃ寒い！
風もあったので、真冬並みの寒さ！
ダウンは、絶対必須です。
ガタガタ震えながら写真を撮りました。笑
サンライズを見て、車に戻るとパンとコーヒーが貰えました。
あったかいコーヒーがとても嬉しかったです！
そのあと朝食を食べに麓におり、ご飯を食べて10時くらいにホテルに戻ってきました。
とてもすてきな体験でした。

Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii had a magnificent natural feel, but here we had to compete for space with many people in a narrow passage. The shuttle was only a few minutes late, and the guide was cheerful and kind, but I think if we had arrived a bit earlier, we could have secured a better spot and enjoyed the starry sky more. Considering the price, it was a bit lacking.

ハワイ島のマウナケアは壮大な自然とゆう感じでしたが、こちらは狭い通路にたくさんの人で場所を取り合う必要がありました。送迎は数分の遅れ程度でガイドさんも明るく親切でしたが、もう少し早く着ければ場所取りも、星空もよく見れたのかなと思います。値段の割には、、です。

I was able to experience various activities, and the show was fun and enjoyable! It was a program that the whole family could enjoy, regardless of age. I would like to participate again next time!

色々な体験も出来て
ショーも楽しく良かったです！
年齢関係なく、家族で楽しめるプログラムでした、又次回も参加したいです！

It was a perfect night on the ocean as it was my wife’s Birthday so I decided to take her on the dinner cruise every thing was perfect , from the Lady and crew who picked us up from the hotel to the cruise staff ,food was great service was great and entertainment was fantastic I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out
