Amy was the perfect guide very knowledgeable and interesting so Kim and myself whould definitely recommend this tour
Avery big thank you to amy

Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.

This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.

We went with seven people from three generations. I thought the person taking care of many tours at the meeting point, Hilton Hawaiian Village, was from Hilton, but it turned out to be a Japanese guide from Kualoa Ranch. They were very polite and made a good impression. The explanations at Kualoa Ranch were clear and concise, focusing only on the important points without unnecessary details.

We experienced three types of activities and a lunch course. Since my grandchild is small, we chose the Taste of Kualoa Tour, the Movie Site Tour, and the Ocean Voyage Tour.

On the Taste of Kualoa Tour, we were able to see and taste various tropical fruits. I had seen breadfruit many times, but it was my first time trying it as chips. They were deep-fried and seemed to have no seasoning, but they were very delicious.

The Movie Site Tour mainly focused on locations from Jurassic Park, and it was fun to watch Jurassic World on the plane back and see familiar scenes.

When my grandchild gets a bit older, I look forward to trying the horseback riding tour and the jungle expedition. I also want to enjoy the ATV tour.

三世代7人で行ってきました。集合場所のヒルトン・ハワイアンビレッジで多くの方のツアーの面倒を見ていた方はヒルトンの人だと思っていたのですが、クアロア牧場の日本人ガイドさんでした。皆さんに丁寧に対応しており好感が持てました。クアロア牧場での説明も余計なことは言わず、大事な事だけを簡潔に説明していたのでわかりやすかったです。
アクティビティ3種類とランチのコースを体験しました。
孫が小さいのでテイストオブクアロアツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー、オーシャンボヤジツアーです。
テイストオブクアロアツアーでは南国の色々な果物の見学と試食ができました。パンの実は何度も見たことがありますが、チップスを食べたのは初めてでした。素揚げで味は付けてないようですが非常に美味しかったです。
映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークのロケ地がメインでしたが、帰りの飛行機の中でジュラシックワールドを見て、見覚えのある場面が出てきて楽しかったです。
孫がもう少し大きくなったら乗馬ツアー、ジャングルエクシペディション。ATVツアーも楽しみたいと思っています。

The tour was amazing, scenic and very informative. Our tour guide, Ryan was very friendly and considerate and we enjoyed the tour a lot. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

On the day of the event, it rained on and off, and unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset from the summit. It was very cold at the top, and having a neck warmer was very helpful.

During the stargazing, the rain stopped, and we were able to see the Milky Way clearly. However, it was unfortunate that there were many clouds, and the stars quickly got hidden, so the guide was very busy moving us to different locations. Thank you very much.

If there is another opportunity, I would like to request the Masashi Nature School again.

当日は雨が降ったり止んだりで、残念ながら頂上からサンセットを見ることは出来ませんでした。頂上は非常に寒く、当日ネックウォーマーを持参しとても役立ちました。
星空観測の時には雨も止み、天の川をはっきりと見ることが出来ました。ただ残念なことに雲が多く、星が直ぐに隠れてしまうので、場所を移動したりとガイドさんが大忙しでした。どうもありがとうございました。
また機会がありましたら、マサシネイチャースクールさんでお願いしたいと思います。

We had a great time! Learned a lot from our guide. He was super helpful and knowledgeable. This was the best part of our trip. Mosquitos were vicious though. I got the worst mosquito bites in my life, but I’d do it again - I would make sure to bring your own repellant and constantly reapply because you’re going through streams and repellant washes off. I didn’t realize how badly I was bitten until I got back to the hotel.

Driver Levent was right on time for pick up .The tour was amazing & very informative . The knowledge Levent had was incredible . the sights we saw were good & lunch delicious . Highly recommend this tour for 1st timers to Oahu or returnees to the island.My daughter & I had a great time .

Arriving 15 minutes early at the meeting place, I found many tour participants there. Just as I was feeling a bit lost, I heard the clear voice of Kerina, who was wearing a muumuu, and I was able to meet up without any issues. Kerina, reminiscent of Kiyomaro Ayakouji, was an excellent guide, and the bus was filled with laughter. We efficiently visited key points, and I was able to purchase valuable decorations with a warranty, quickly making our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was thrilled to have Kerina as my guide for my first Japanese-language tour. The Polynesian Cultural Center was a place I wanted to visit again on my own due to time constraints. The lunch and dinner were neither particularly good nor bad, but I was moved by the university and palace we were shown before the show. Additionally, I was deeply impressed when I learned about the history of the facility from the volunteer students. I felt very satisfied knowing that what I paid would help the students achieve their goals as I left in the shuttle.

集合場所に15分前に着くと、多くのツアー参加者が居て、迷っていると直ぐにムームーを着たKERINAさんの澄んだ声が聞こえ無事ミート。綾小路きみまろを彷彿とさせるKERINAさんの名ガイドに車内は爆笑の渦に。要所を効率的に回り、貴重な装飾品も保証書付きで安心購入でき、あっという間にポリネシアン文化センターへ。初めての日本語ガイドツアーにKERINAさんが付いてくれて大感激でした。ポリネシアン文化センターは時間不足で今度は個人で来たい施設でした。ランチ、ディナーは可もなく不可もない食事でしたが、ショーの前に案内された大学と宮殿に感動。更にボランティアの学生さんに施設開設の歴史を聞いて大感動。ここで支払ったものが学生さんの目的達成に役立つなら大満足だったと送迎車で後にしました。

I did the Diamond head and Moana hike. Both great! Was picked up in morning a little earlier only because we were out there waiting already. Our driver was friendly and informative of things around town to try. Unfortunately it was our last day there so no time to go and try out. But we had an incident where a women was not happy because a family was late arriving for their pick up ( they said they thought it was somewhere else- so call to confirm but from my experience it’s usually at the entrance of the hotel.) But the lady wasn’t happy cause she was going to miss the sun rise...well driver told her he had to at least give people some time after pick up time to be there. But after all that we were all happy and headed our way. Bring rain jacket if you can to Moana falls hike and good shoes- wet slippery. They have ponchos though just in case. Thanks for the great experience!!! I would use them again next time I come back. Till next time!

Horseback riding by the seaside was amazing. The tour company's guide taught us how to ride horses in detail, so even complete beginners had no problems. (On the other hand, the ranch staff spoke only English, so I couldn't understand anything. Without the guide's pre-ride briefing, would we have been able to ride at all?) After all, they are living creatures; the young women struggled as the horses seemed to underestimate them. This tour included a little sightseeing in Haleiwa, but it might be better to focus solely on horseback riding. (There were overlaps with other day tours.)

海辺の乗馬は最高でした。ツアー会社のガイドさんが、馬の乗り方を丁寧に教えてくださったので、全くの初体験者でも問題はありませんでした。（反対に牧場の方は、英語なので全然わかりません。ガイドさんの事前レクがなければ、何もわからず乗ることに？）　やはり生き物、若い女性は馬になめられて扱いに苦労していました。このツアーにはわずかなハレイワ観光などが含まれていましたが、乗馬だけに特化した方が良いかもわかりません。（他の１日観光と重複するところがあったので）

Our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center center was truly amazing. We did splurge on the super ambassador ticket. Which was well worth every penny. We spent the day with Tyrone, he was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we understood everything we were watching or listening too. It started to rain and he ran and supplied us all with rain ponchos. Everyone who worked there were friendly, and knowledgeable about their land. We were there for 8 hours and we could have easily have spent several more hours.

This was the greatest experience ever! Our tour guide Justin was very knowledgeable and informative with every guests questions and the history of the island. We first drove to Mauna Kea Park and the weather was just perfect! Clear skies and a beautiful breeze. Once we arrived to the Volcano National Park, it was so nice to see the park reopened again. Beautiful scenery and but what took the cake was the private lava tube that only this activity provider has access to which definitely makes up for the fact that Thurston Lava Tube is still closed. The lava tube was breathtaking and the deeper you go in, the more treasure you unveil. THIS IS A MUST DO!!!

Big shoutout to the guides, Giggles and Joshua.
At first I was disappointed that I wasn't going to drive a UTV, but our guide made up for it.
It's really cool to see film locations and get some stories.
Had a great time. If you get the chance, go on this tour.

While the tour was quite good, I would only reccomend it for the die hard fans. We got to see a lot of areas where they filmed, but it was predominantly from the van we were driven around in.
The hosts, while very knowledgable, seemed to be more interested in how they have been involved in the show and sharing stories of there time working with the actors.

The only real highlight of the whole trip was going to the location of Steve McGarrett's home, and we were only there for a maximum of maybe 10 minutes.

The sunrise at Haleakalā was wonderful. The tour driver was also kind and great. The summit is cold, as everyone says, so it's necessary to prepare for the cold, but if you have a lightweight down jacket, it's warm and not bulky, so I recommend it. Also, the tour departs early, around 2 to 3 AM, and returns around noon, so that might affect your planning. I think many places have a checkout time of 11 AM.

ハレアカラのサンライズ、素晴らしかったです。
このツアーの担当ドライバーも親切でよかったです。
山頂は、みなさんもいわれる通り寒いですから防寒対策は必要ですが、薄手のダウンがあれば、あったかくてかさばらないので、おススメしておきます。
あとは、ツアー出発が2時〜3時と早く、帰りは12時頃になるので、そのあたりがプランニングに影響しちゃうかもしれません。
チェックアウト時間は11時のところが多いと思うので。

Drew was exceptional at telling story and being flexible with peoples preference. The lunch provided was good and the scenery was beautiful with highlights everywhere including Turtles, waterfalls, rainbows and Waipo Valley.

Kualoa Ranch was a great experience and I had a lot of fun! However, on the day of my visit, I was supposed to choose two activities, including horseback riding, but I wasn't able to select anything, and I couldn't go horseback riding. It seemed that the local staff had mentioned this a few times, and they said that the agent might have misunderstood. I think it would be good if the course descriptions could be updated.

クアロア牧場は満喫でき、とても楽しかったです！
ただ、当日2つは選べるコースで行き、乗馬をする予定だったのですが、何も選べずに決まっており、乗馬はできませんでした。
現地の方は何度か言われているようで、エージェントさんが勘違いしているようと言っていました。
コースの説明内容を変更していただけるとよいかと思いました。

This was a great experience the food, view and dancing. So well worth it would do it again.

Kevin was a delightful, knowledgeable tour guide! The bus was so comfortable and trip proved to give us new information and amazing views of the island. I highly recommend this tour!

This was a fun trip, and we had an informative, engaging driver in Michael. My only gripe is I didn't really care for the Spacemonkeys video on the way back down.

Due to bad weather, we couldn't see the sunset or the starry sky very well, but I was really happy that the guide worked hard to find spots and made the experience enjoyable. I want to try again next time I visit the Big Island of Hawaii.

天候不良の為、サンセットや星空もあまり見れませんでしたが、ガイドさんが一生懸命スポットを探してくれたり、楽しくなるよう盛り上げてくれたことがとてもうれしかったです。次回ハワイ島に来た際はリベンジしたいです。

Our driver and tour guide, Lola, did a great job explaining both the history and local importance of the sites we visited. Her sense of humor made the tour all the more enjoyable.

We were promptly picked up at the designated time at the pier. This tour went West to Lahaina. The road thru the mountains became very narrow in places but our driver Halley did an excellent job of navigating the turns. This road was definitely more scary than the road to Hana.
Halley did a good job in explaining the various sights just as Sammy did the day earlier. She made frequent stops so we could get photos.
Once we arrived in Lahaina Town, Halley recommended a nice restaurant where we had lunch overlooking the ocean.
We were very pleased with this tour and would highly recommend it.

Our excursion went extremely well. We were met at the pier at the designated time with no issues. We met our driver/guide and were on our way. Our driver was Bobbie who gave us a very comprehensive verbal overview of the entire trip. She would pull over at various times to let us get photos of the scenery. We liked the fact that we could stay at any stop for extended time if needed.
Because Bobbie was Hawaiian raised, she could give us a perspective of Hawaiian life on the island.
The van was very comfortable and the driving was very good. No speeding. She gave us plenty of bathroom stops.
All in all we very much enjoyed the trip and would recommend this tour.

Two years ago, I had an amazing sunset experience with a friend. I wanted my husband to experience that feeling too, so this year, we went to the Big Island of Hawaii. It's not every day you can drive up to 4,200 meters; that kind of experience is rare. I felt so close to the universe, and the starry sky was so breathtaking that I couldn't even recognize the constellations! My husband was thrilled with the wonderful experience, and I was happy to have invited him. I reaffirmed the greatness of the Big Island of Hawaii.

２年前に友人とお世話になり感動的なサンセットを見ました。
その感動を主人にも経験して欲しくて、今年、ハワイ島に行きました。
簡単に4200ｍまで車で行かれるなんてそんな体験、なかなか出来る物ではありません。
宇宙を身近に感じられ、星座が分からない位の星空に大感動～！
素晴らしい体験に主人も大喜び、誘った私も嬉しかったです。
ハワイ島の素晴らしさを再認識しました。

We enjoyed our circle island tour in Oct. this was a special occasion for us and our second trip to Oahu. We wanted to see more of the island this time and choose this tour because it had so many stops and was a full day trip. Our driver was very informative & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed all our stops and had the best day!!! The lunch at Fumis was fantastic! I would recommend this tour to everyone!

It was amazing experience .Waimea is gorgeous . I like the tour Kats our driver was such fun...

It was raining at the Onizuka Visitor Center, but thanks to MASA's energy, by the time we reached the summit, the rain had stopped. We were able to take photos that made it look like we were flying in the sky with a broom against the backdrop of the sunset. The stargazing afterward was challenging due to the clouds, and we desperately searched for a spot where we could see the stars, ultimately finding the best position for stargazing that night. ISHIKAWA's explanations of the constellations were clear and very enjoyable. I want to go again during the new moon in June.

オニヅカビジターセンターでは雨でしたが、MASAさんのパワーで山頂に着く頃には雨がやみ、箒を使って夕日の中で空を飛んでいるような写真を撮ってもらえました。その後の星空観測は雲が多く、星が見えるポイントを必死に探しその日のベストポジションで星空観測。ISHIKAWAさんの星座の説明は判りやすく、とっても楽しいかったです。次回は、6月の新月の時に行きたいです。

The guide maintained just the right distance. I enjoyed listening to the stories in the car. They even asked if we wanted to take photos. Our pickup time was 1:30 PM, and it took quite a while until the last participant was picked up, but we had time for restroom breaks at each hotel and to look around the hotels, which was nice. It felt like we were driving around the Big Island, and that was enjoyable too. I was worried about altitude sickness since it was my first time climbing a high mountain, but I followed the guide's instructions and made it back safely. The sunset was cloudy, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset, but the light from the sun and the clouds created a magical landscape. I was so happy and moved to be here. The starry sky was not visible at the summit due to clouds, so we saw it a little lower down the mountain. It was incredibly beautiful and clear, as if the clouds had never been there. The number of stars was amazing! We could see the Milky Way clearly! I was so moved. We even took photos with the Milky Way in the background, and I truly felt it was worth coming here. 😊

ガイドの方は丁度いい距離感でした。車内のお話も聞いていて楽しかったです。写真撮りますか？と自らお声掛けして下さいます。私達のピックアップの時間が1時30分で最後の参加者の方のピックアップまで結構かかりましたが、ホテルごとにトイレ休憩やホテル内を見れる時間があったのと、ハワイ島をドライブしているようでそれも楽しかったです。初めて高い山に登ったので高山病が心配でしたがガイドさんの指示に従って無事帰ってこれました。サンセットは雲があり綺麗な夕陽は見れませんでしたが、太陽の光と雲で幻想的な風景が見れました。ここに来れたことが嬉しくて感動しました。星空は山頂の方は雲で見えませんでしたので少し山を下ったところで見ました。先程まで雲に覆われていたのが嘘のように綺麗で澄んだ星空が見えました。星の数がすごい！天の川も普通に見える！感動しました。天の川を背景に写真も撮っていただき、本当に来て良かったと思いました(^^)
