All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The sky was cloudy during the journey, so I was worried about the conditions at the summit, but by the time we arrived, it was clear and we could see the observatory clearly. The moment of sunset was also wonderful. On the way back, the sky was filled with stars, and the guide provided a detailed explanation of the night sky, which was moving. It was truly a unique experience that is hard to come by. Thank you very much.

道中曇り空だった為、頂上の状態が心配でしたが、到着した時間には快晴となり天文台ははっきり見え、日没の瞬間も素晴らしかったです。
帰路途中も満天の星で、ガイドさんが星空を詳しく説明して下さり感動しました。なかなか体験の出来ない非日常の一日で、本当に有難うございました。

The primary purpose of this trip to Hawaii was to go to the summit of Mauna Kea and take sunset photos. However, despite the clear weather, the temperature was low, causing the roads to freeze. Ultimately, the road closure was not lifted, and we couldn't reach the summit. When I inquired, I learned that there had only been two occasions this February when people were able to go to the summit. The tour regulations state that access to the summit may be restricted due to weather conditions, but I felt that promoting sunset viewing at the summit when the chances of going there are less than 10% is, in a sense, misleading. I do not recommend the sunset viewing at the summit of Mauna Kea during winter.

今回のハワイ旅行の第一の目的はマウナケア山頂に行き夕陽撮影を行う事。ところが、天気が快晴にもかかわらず気温が低かったため道路が凍結。最終的に道路の通行止めが解除にならず、山頂には行けなかった。聞いてみると今年の2月は、2回ほど山頂に行っただけとの事。ツアー規約には、天候により山頂には行けない旨の記載があるが、山頂に行ける確率が１０％にもないのに、山頂夕陽鑑賞を募集するのは、ある意味詐欺と感じた。冬季のマウナケア山頂夕陽鑑賞は、おすすめはしない。

Very entertaining day had by all.
Thanks Tommy for being not only informative but also entertaining.

Loved everything from the beginning to end of the tour , the driver and the overall experience. Glad we got this tour package to understand more of Hawaiian culture

Loved our driver Paulani , she was very informative of the place and around the area. Will definitely use this App again for future travels . We all had a great time for visiting Oahu for the first time

The jungle tour and the movie location tour were a lot of fun. My son was thrilled to visit the filming location of his favorite, Jurassic World! On the way back from the jungle tour, an American behind us shouted "more fast!" and the jeep felt like a roller coaster, which got everyone super excited! Due to time constraints, we couldn't join other tours, so I'm planning to go again next time.

ジャングルツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー楽しいです。
息子は大好きなジュラシックワールドのロケ地に興奮！
ジャングルツアーでひと通り見学した帰り道、後ろのアメリカ人がmore fast!と叫び、ジープはまるでジェットコースター状態でみんなで吹っ飛ばさそうになり、これまた大興奮！
時間の関係上、他のツアーに参加出来なかったので次回も行こうと思っています。

I was glad to see many whales, but I thought I would be able to see them a bit closer. Overall, I am satisfied.

たくさんクジラが見れたので良かったのですが、もう少し近くで見られると思ってました。
おおむね満足です。

Juan was a great driver and tour guide. I left a couple of shirts I purchased on the bus and Juan brought them to our hotel. Great guy!

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

The guide was very kind and attentive! Additionally, since the guide explained everything in Japanese and most of the participants were Japanese, I felt comfortable joining.

The shrimp on the North Shore is incredibly delicious!! The town is colorful and very stylish, which really lifts your spirits! There are many souvenir shops, so I did a lot of shopping!

ガイドさんがとても優しく、丁寧な方でした！
また、ガイドさんが日本語で説明してくださったこと、参加者がほとんど日本人だったので安心して参加できました。

ノースショアのシュリンプがすっごい美味しい！！
街も、建物がカラフルですごくおしゃれでテンションが上がります！
お土産屋さんがたくさんあるので、沢山買い物しました！

Our driver Larry was totally awesome! He was so knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. We received a great sightseeing tour of Honolulu/Waikiki and the surrounding area. If you request Larry specifically as your driver/guide, you won't be disappointed. He is very good at what he does. What can I say about Pearl Harbor? Everyone needs to visit this site. Unfortunately, the Arizona Memorial was closed for repairs so you will be given a boat ride in the harbor instead. But that's just a reason to come back and do it again.

I was surprised to see two tour buses at the meeting place, with people from various countries. However, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, and the guided tour was also in Japanese. We gathered at the meeting place according to the schedule for each plan, and we experienced a total of three activities. Visiting filming locations is definitely a must. It was fun to see places from Jurassic World and more, and the magnificent scenery is truly wonderful. It mentioned that those with cardiovascular diseases should be cautious, but everything except the zip line was manageable. Long pants aren't necessarily required (though they might be for horseback riding). Since it's primarily a ranch, there is some smell, but there are also many animals. However, the lunch buffet wasn't very good, so I give it four stars.

集合場所へ行くと観光バスが2台でびっくり。各国の人がいました。しかし日本語を話すスタッフがいて、ガイドツアーも日本語でした。いくつかのプラン毎に牧場内の集合時間に集合場所に集まって、全部で３つ体験しました。やはりロケ地巡りは外せないでしょう。ジュラシックワールドやら色々、楽しかったし、とにかく壮大な景色が素晴らしいです。循環器疾患があるとダメだと書いてありましたが、ジップライン以外は余裕です。長ズボンとかも別に不要です（乗馬は要るのかも）基本牧場なので臭いはしますが、動物もたくさんいます。ただ、ランチビッフェは美味しくなかったので星4つです。

This was absolutely amazing!! It had everything! We had a fabulous meal of steak and lobster, watched the Polynesian show which was amazing and saw whales several times for the first time! We had the Captain renew our vows after 21 years together. He did it at the helm of the ship and the view was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely do this again, the crew was amazing and our every need was tended to! It was the absolutely perfect way to spend our 21st anniversary!!!

Excellent organization of the trip, nice music and dance, very impressive walk to fern grotto. All-in-one: Beautiful trip worth the money

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only caught a glimpse of the tail towards the end of the cruise, but this time, I was able to see both the spout and the tail several times! If you go expecting something like the promotional photos, you might feel disappointed. Everything from check-in to disembarking the boat is in English, so I was a bit worried about what to do in case of an emergency, but the boat itself was large and stable, so I felt safe on board. It was great to see the views of Waikiki and the east side of Diamond Head from a different perspective.

2回目の参加です。前回は、クルーズ終わり頃に尾がチラッと見えただけでしたが、今回は、潮吹きも尾も何度か見ることができました！
宣伝写真のようなのを期待して行くと、残念な気になると思います。
受付から船を降りるまで、すべて英語なので、万が一の時はどうしよう•••と思いましたが、船自体は大きくて揺れも少なく、安心して乗っていられました。
沖からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの東側など普段と違う方角からの景色が観られて良かったです。

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

This time, we couldn't reach the summit or observe the starry sky due to bad weather. It's really disappointing since it's not an easily accessible place. Given the cost, we should have considered the timing (especially in winter) more carefully. As for the guide, I would have preferred more information about the attractions and charm of the Big Island rather than personal stories.

今回は悪天候のため山頂と星空観測が出来ませんでした。
簡単に行ける所ではないので、本当に残念でなりません。
金額もそれなりにするので、時期（特に冬場）もしっかり考慮すべきでした。
ガイドに関しては、個人的な話よりも、もっとハワイ島の事、魅力を話してもらいたかった。

It was a rare perfect sunny day for winter. The view of the Waikiki skyline and Diamond Head from the boat was different and wonderful compared to seeing it from land. I was able to see whales five times, but they only appeared a bit far away, which was a little disappointing.

冬の時期にしては珍しく完璧な快晴。船から見るワイキキのビル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドは陸から見るのと違い良かった。クジラは5回見ることができたが少し遠くにしか現れずちょっと不満でした。

This whale watching experience was amazing. I was impressed by the onboard buffet as well. Another thing that moved me was the clear blue sea. I wonder how it becomes such an emerald green?

今回のホエールウォッチは最高でした。見れたこともありますが船内バイキングに感動してました。
もうひとつ感激したのは青く澄み渡った海です。どうしてこんなエメラルドグリーンになるんだろうか？

I participated from the morning of February 22, and the shuttle driver was a nice person. I chose the no-meal plan. Once on the ship, we were guided based on whether we had a meal or not. It felt like there was a designated meal time. During that time, guests without meals were left waiting. Fortunately, it was sunny, and I think we could enjoy the cruise comfortably. We were able to catch a glimpse of a mother and baby whale's backs. So, it might be better not to expect jumping or anything like that. If you're hoping to see at least their backs, there are many spots on land where you can observe them, so I feel this tour is worthwhile for those who want to enjoy the cruise without regrets.

2月22日朝からの参加で送迎のお兄さんもいい方でした。食事無プランを選択。船内へ入ると食事有無で案内されます。説明も兼ねてでしたが、食事の時間が設けられていたように感じました。その間、無しのお客さんは待っている状態です。幸いな事に晴れていてクルーズ自体気持ち良く楽しめると思います。メインの鯨も親子で背中をチラッと拝むことが出来ました。なので、ジャンピング等は期待せず行った方が良いかもしれません。背中だけでも見れたらな。という方は陸から観れるスポットも多々あるので、クルーズも楽しみたい方は後悔しないツアーだと感じます。

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Greg was unbelievably knowledgeable and so funny! All the stops were absolutely gorgeous! We would definitely do this again!!

I didn't understand the guide's (Kaz's) explanations well, and I was just dropped off at the sea and left to my own devices. I spoke with a woman who was also on the same tour, and none of us really understood what was going on. The horseback riding was very enjoyable. However, the casual way of speaking and the overall lack of professionalism made it an unsatisfactory tour. I recommend not participating.

ガイドさん(カズさん)の説明がよくわからず、適当に海に降ろされ、野放しにされました。
同じツアーに参加していた、女性の方とも話し、全員がよくわかっていませんでした。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
しかしタメ語で話しかけてくる感じや、全体的に雑で、満足なツアーになりませんでした。
参加しないことをおすすめします。

Since it's nature, we can't predict the weather until the reservation date. I climbed up to 2,800 meters, but it started to rain along the way. We take some time for altitude acclimatization, but due to the rain, we eat cold boxed lunches in the car. Beyond that point, the road was closed due to snow and ice. We changed our plans and headed to the west coast to watch the sunset. I was looking forward to seeing the sunset and stargazing from the summit, but... here too, the clouds obscured everything. I've seen the sunset every day for five days, so maybe it's okay.

自然相手なので予約日の天候までわかりません。
2,800mまで登ったけど途中から雨。
高地順応とかで時間を置きますが、雨のため車内で冷たい給食弁当を食べます。
それ以上先は雪と凍結で通行止めとなりました。
予定を変えてサンセットを観るため西海岸まで行きます。
山頂から見るサンセットと星空観測なのに、、。
ここも雲で何も見えず。
5日間毎日サンセットは観てるからもういいか。

I went to one of the many Adventures at Kualoa Ranch with my grandson. I took him to the Hollywood Movie Site Tour and we love it! My grandson is 5 years old and he loves dinosaurs and was so excited to see the Jurassic Park movie site, and believe it or not he was so excited to see the sign that appears on the movie. Also, all that bones and of course the dinosaurs. He was so happy!!!
For me was much more then I expected, everything was so beautiful and the lady who was guiding us, I think her name is Fono, wow ... she was awesome!
Everything was so beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot! I highly recommend it!

I was a bit worried because there were many experiences saying they couldn't see anything, but I was able to see it right after departure. In fact, I saw it multiple times. I thought a smaller boat would allow for a closer view, and I was unsure which to choose, but in this case, the size of the boat didn't matter. The transportation was perfect. As for breakfast, to be honest, it wasn't good.

見えなかったという｢体験談が多かったので、少し心配していましたが、出航後すぐに見えました。それも何度も。
小さい船の方が近くで見えるかと思い、どちらにしようかと迷いましたが、今回に限って言えば、船の大きさは関係なかったです。
送迎は、パーフェクト。
朝食は、はっきり言っておいしくない。

This time, my spouse and I participated with our parents, a total of six people.
In the morning, we took a taxi to the location for our 8 AM checkout! It was surprisingly close and cost about $18, so I thought taking a taxi was a better deal with a larger group!
We chose a tour that only included sightseeing without meals.
The cruise lasted about two hours, and we were able to see whales, plus the ocean was really beautiful, which made both our parents very happy.
However, one point to note: since it was a large boat, we couldn't get too close, so if you're looking for a more thrilling experience up close, you might find this tour a bit lacking!

今回は私たち夫婦の両両親と6人で参加。
あさ、8時にチェックアウトのために、
私たちはタクシーを使って現地に向かいました！案外近くて18ドルくらいでしたので、
人数が多ければタクシーの方がお得だなとおもいました！
わたしたちは、食事をつけず見るだけのツアーにしました。
クルーズ時間は2時間くらいでしたがちゃんとクジラもみれ、さらに海が本当に綺麗で、両親共大喜びでした。
ただ一点。大きな船なので近寄らず、
もっと近くの迫力を求めるなら、物足りないと思ったツアーでした！

I attended with my 1 year and 4 month old son, and I was happy that the crew members were so affectionate towards him. Since he doesn't understand things like whales yet, I thought it might be nice to participate again when he does. I didn't sign up for breakfast, but from what I saw at the buffet, I think it was a good decision not to sign up.

1歳4ヶ月の息子を連れて参加しましたがクルーの皆さんが息子を可愛がってくれて嬉しかったです。
まだ今はクジラなど分からないのでまた分かるようになったら参加してもいいかなっと思いました。
私は朝食を申し込みませんでしたがブッフェ台を見た感じ申し込まないでよかったと思いました^^;

I participated on February 13. At first, I couldn't see anything at all, but after heading offshore, I saw it a couple of times, albeit small. Just like when I went dolphin watching before, it's really up to luck on the day. However, the weather was nice, and I was satisfied because I could see Diamond Head beautifully. The food was as expected, with limited variety and average taste. When I had dinner on the same boat before, the all-you-can-eat crab was really delicious, and there was a show, so I thought the evening experience might be more worthwhile.

2月13日に参加しました。
初めは全く見えませんでしたが沖合いに出てから二回ほど小さく見えました。
以前にイルカウォッチングに行った時と同じくこればかりは当日の運次第です。
でも天気が良くてダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見えたので満足です。
食事は予想通り種類も少なくてお味も普通です。
以前同じ船にディナーで乗った時のカニ食べ放題は本当に美味しくショーもあったのでやっぱり夜の方がお得かなと思いました。

Great choice for a whale watch especially if you have children or people in your group who are more sensitive to motion sickness. The thing that sets this whale watch apart from all the others is size and stability of the boat and all of the activities available on board while heading out to look for whales. This could almost be described as a fun Hawaiian tropical lunch cruise with whales. In addition to a delicious lunch buffet and frequent whale sightings there is also hula lessons, lei making and ukulele lessons. The captain and crew are always on the look out for whales, so while you are doing the activities the captain will announce which side of the boat the whales are on so you do not miss any of the whale action while eating or participating in the activities. With whales being wild animals and not always predictable in where they will be, having activities to keep the kids occupied makes this a great option for families

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.
