Hawaii
Smooth pickup from the hotel (I was actually nervous since it was my first time).
The half-day tour of Oahu wasn't part of my original plan, but I'm so glad I went! It was amazing... especially Hanauma Bay, which has the most beautiful beach in the world and is definitely worth seeing.
The Polynesian Cultural Center is also a fantastic place to learn about Hawaiian and other regional cultures. I got to experience hands-on activities and demonstrations, and it was a day filled with laughter!
Japanese people... let's quickly throw away the feeling of embarrassment. There's no need to be shy; just be cheerful and enjoy! (laughs)
Thank you for a fun day! m(._.)m
ホテルからスムーズにピックアップ(実は初めてだからドキドキでした)
オアフ半日観光は当初の予定外でしたが行って良かったぁ‼最高…特に世界一キレイなビーチ、ハナウマ湾は一見の価値がありですよ
ポリネシア文化センターもハワイや他地区の文化を学ぶには最高⤴⤴です。手作り経験や実演をさせてもらったり、笑い転げた１日でした‼
日本人よ…恥ずかしいという気持ちは早く捨てよう。陽気に朗らかに楽しくシャイなんて要らないよ(笑)
楽しい1日をありがとうm(._.)m

It's unfortunate that the morning shuttle bus was too cold due to the air conditioning (laughs). For lunch, the buffet is better inside the house rather than outside where the birds come; a spacious building would be nice!
On a positive note, there was a mix-up with the order of activities upon arrival, but it was quickly corrected. After that, we smoothly enjoyed the attractions and had a memorable and fun day (the whole family is very grateful).
残念な事⤵…朝イチの送迎バスがエアコン利きすぎで寒かった(笑)、昼食のバイキングは鳥が来る外ではなくhouse中が良いですよ広い建屋がいいなぁ～
素晴らしい事…到着後食い違いでアクティビィの順番違いは有りましたが直ぐに修正、その後はスムーズにアトラクションをenjoy 想い出に残る楽しい1日を過ごさせて頂きました(家族全員大感謝です)

Pearl harbor is amazing, the tour around the city was good as well.Our tour guide was great and had lots of information to share about each site.
The sunset was wonderful. The guide's service spirit was also excellent, and I was able to take many lovely memory photos.
とにかくサンセットが良かった。ガイドさんのサービス精神も素晴らしく、素敵な思い出写真もたくさん撮ってもらうことができました。

Wow what a wonderful day, the tour guide was fantastic and he made sure we were enjoying our Hawaiian experience. We were taken to many beautiful places and given plenty of time to experience them. He was very informative and made our day memorable.
It's the last one~
This time, I only went to Hawaii Island, but I was able to relax a lot.
I participated in a submarine tour, and it was a really great experience!
さいごです〜
今回、Hawaii island だけだったんですが、とても ゆっくり 出来ました。
潜水艦のツアーに参加してとても良い経験させていただきましたよ！

City tour was very good. But no boat ride to the Arizona Memorial (hitide !!!!)
Wonderful full shop tour. Couldn't have been better. Would definitely recommend.
I participated in three attractions, and time flew by!
Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to experience these typical attractions, and I was very satisfied.
3つのアトラクションに参加しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました！
ハワイが初めてだったので、こういう普通のザ アトラクションを体験したかったので大満足です。

Saw much of the same sights by helicopter Sat. Nice to see up close and personal. Ken was a great guide, very helpful. Nice group.
Best way to do the road to Hana.
Steve is a great driver/guide.
Pickup time came and went. We had to call to remind that we had made a booking. And the pickup only came at 750 am which was 50 minutes after pickup time.
Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post about your experience. We apologize for the pick-up being delayed and we have shared your feedback with the activity provider to better so they can better serve future guests.

We had a wonderful time on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. Met really nice people. The Crew was a lot of fun teaching us the hula. The sunset was beautiful. The food was great. Very organized.
I had a great time! If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to relax a bit more in Haleiwa. My stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour as I was heading to go horseback riding. The garlic shrimp place I was aiming for opened about 15 minutes late, so I had to hurry and scarf down the garlic shrimp. It was delicious, but I wanted to savor it more and check out other shops as well.
とても楽しかったです！欲を言えばハレイワでもう少しのんびりしたかったなぁ。乗馬に向かうためハレイワ滞在は一時間位でした。お目当てのガーリックシュリンプ屋さんの開店が15分ほど遅れて急いでガーリックシュリンプをかきこむことに。美味しかったけどもっと味わいたかったし、他のお店も見たかったです。

Excellent bus driver he was very personable. Enjoyed the visit to the Arizona memorial very much do much history should not be forgotten
This was a tour I had been interested in for a long time, recommended by a senior colleague. It was my second time at Haleakalā.
The first time, I visited Maui for a day trip and drove there. I saw a sky full of stars, but since I didn't have any knowledge about stars and had to catch a flight back, I only looked at the stars for about two minutes while descending, thinking, "Wow, it's beautiful!" before quickly returning to the car.
This time, for my second visit to Haleakalā, I knew from the beginning that it would be a full moon, and I participated in the tour for the first time. I could only see bright stars with the naked eye, but through the telescope, we were shown various stars, searched for Mickey in the full moon, and since we lacked knowledge about stars, we learned a lot from the explanations. Listening to the guide's stories helped reset my mind. Hearing from someone with so many experiences is truly valuable!
Due to my husband's work schedule, I can't plan trips around the new moon in advance, but I hope to go again when the new moon comes around.
I'm grateful to the senior colleague who recommended the tour! Thank you very much, Yamapi-san!!
先輩におすすめされて参加したずっと気になっていたツアーです。ハレアカラは2回目。
1回目は日帰りマウイ島でレンタカーで行きました。この時満天の星空を見ましたが、星の知識がなく、また帰りの飛行機の時間があった為、2分くらい下山途中に見て、あぁ綺麗！と感動して即車内に戻りました。
今回の2回目のハレアカラは、初めから満月だと分かっていてツアーに初参加。明るい星しか肉眼では見えませんが、望遠鏡で色々な星を見せてくれ、満月の月にミッキーをさがしたり、やはり星の知識がない私達は星の解説を聞けて勉強になりました。またガイドさんの話を聞いて心がリセットされました。色んなことを経験されてきた方からのお話は為になります！
旦那の仕事の休みの関係で、新月に狙って旅行の計画を立てることが予め出来ませんが、新月狙ってま
た行けたらいいなと思います。
ツアーをおすすめしてくれた先輩に感謝！山ぴーさん、どうもありがとうございました！！

Loved this tour, zoom was a great guide and could tell us a lot of inside sories;) we went to grat places and points with a great view
Wow! What an incredible and awesome experience! Special thanks to Nettie! I understand why she is highly requested! Her aloha spirit made us feel like family. God's creation was on full display, praise Him from whom all blessings flow!
I participated with three friends.
The process: Since there were participants coming from various resorts on the island, we took a welcoming car and met up with other participants at the meeting point.
After that, we stopped by a supermarket for dinner, where we bought souvenirs like coffee and almond chocolate at a cheaper price than ABC Mart, and then headed to Haleakalā!
During the journey, we climbed the mountain while listening to the guide's explanations and interesting stories.
We took a bathroom break along the way, and since we ascended gradually, I didn't really notice the changes in air pressure and oxygen levels!
Also, the scenery we saw while climbing was very beautiful, and I was taking pictures the whole time!
The summit was very cold, and without the provided warm clothing, it would have been impossible to go outside and enjoy the view.
At night, there were no streetlights at all, and since there were no guardrails on the mountain roads, those who came individually returned before sunset.
I got the impression that going individually is almost impossible.
The sunset and starry sky were more beautiful than anything I had ever seen, and I kept looking up at them (*^_^*)
During the viewing, the guide also provided explanations.
My friends were very satisfied, and we were really glad we participated.
This tour made me want to go to Maui just for it.
友人を含め4人で参加しました。
流れ:島内の各リゾートから参加される方がいるため、お迎えの車に乗って、合流地点で、他の参加者さんと合流しました。
その後、夕飯のためにスーパーによりますが、その時にコーヒーや、アーモンドチョコなどのお土産をABCマートよりも安く購入し、いざハレアカラへ！
道中はガイドさんの説明と、面白い話を聞きながら、山道を登って行きます。
途中、トイレ休憩をしながら、少しずつ登ったため、気圧、酸素濃度の変化もあまり気にならずにすみました！
また、登ってる間に見える景色がとても綺麗で、ずっと写真を撮っていました！
山頂はとても寒く、用意されている防寒具がなければ外に出て景色を眺めるのは無理だな。という感じ。
また夜になると全く街灯がなく、さらに山道にガードレールなどもないため、個人でいらしてた方々はサンセット前に帰っていました。
個人で行くのはほぼ無理だなという印象です。
サンセット、星空は今まで見たことない程の綺麗さで、ずっと見上げてました(*^_^*)
また鑑賞中はガイドさんの説明もあります。
友達達も、大満足で、参加して本当に良かったです。
このツアーのために、わざわざマウイ島に行きたくなるようなツアーでした。

It was the best experience I've ever had under the starry sky. The Milky Way spread out right in front of me, and it felt like I was in a planetarium. It turned out to be a great summer vacation.
今まで見た星空で最高の体験が出来ました。天の川が目の前に広がり、まるでプラネタリウムにいるようでした。良い夏休みになりました。

Great time , interesting island history, great crew
Everything we could have hoped for!
Service & courtesy was outstanding!!
Last year, I participated in this tour alone while my family went shopping, but this time they said they would join, so I participated for the second consecutive year.
The tour guide was a woman named Erika, and my companions were a young couple from Australia and an elderly couple living in LA who joined us locally. Since it wasn't a Japanese guide, a certain level of English proficiency is necessary, but Erika spoke slowly and clearly about the tour's points of interest and plant explanations, so even if you're not great at listening, you might not need to worry too much.
The itinerary wasn't too hard, but it seemed to have rained just before (it drizzled a bit during the tour), making the ground slippery, which required some caution. Because of this, the pace of the elderly couple slowed down, and we ended up taking longer than planned, which made us late for the next activity (the Australian couple seemed to continue on to an MTB tour). As a result, we had to take a taxi arranged by the guide to return, which was an unusual schedule (of course, the cost was covered by the tour).
Once we entered the mountains, the humidity was high and it was muggy, so it's better to dress coolly. However, since there are mosquitoes and to prevent injuries from branches and stumps, I recommend participating in long sleeves and long pants, and sturdy athletic shoes (though your shoes will get muddy).
Continuing from last time, we also saw the wild (though an introduced species) spotted poison dart frog, and you can enjoy a completely different side of Oahu compared to Honolulu, so I think it's a recommended activity.
昨年、ショッピングに行く家族と別行動で1人でこのツアーに参加したのですが、今回は家族も行くと言うので、2年連続で参加しました。
ツアーガイドはERIKAさんと言う女性、同行者はオーストラリアから来た若いカップルと、現地で合流して来たＬＡ在住の老夫婦でした。日本語ガイドではないので、ある程度の英語力は必要ですが、ツアーでの注意点とか植物に関する説明などは丁寧にゆっくり喋ってくれるので、ヒアリングが苦手でもそんなに気にしなくていいかもしれません。
行程はそんなにハードではありませんが、直前に雨が降ったようで（途中も少し降られた）、滑りやすく、神経を使いました。そのせいか、老夫婦のペースが上がらず、予定より時間がかかってしまった為、次の予定（オーストラリアのカップルは引き続きＭＴＢツアーに参加するようでした）に間に合わなくなったようで、帰りはガイドが手配したタクシーで帰ると言う変則的なスケジュールになりました（もちろん費用はツアー持ちでした）。
山に入ると湿度も高く、蒸し暑いので、涼しい格好の方がいいですが、蚊もいるし、木の枝や切り株などで怪我をするのを防ぐ為にも、長袖と長いパンツ、足元はしっかりした運動靴で参加する事をお勧めします（ただし、靴はドロドロに汚れます）。
前回に引き続き、野生（移入種ですが）のマダラヤドクガエルも見られたし、ホノルルとは全く違うオアフ島の一面を楽しめるので、お勧め出来るアクティビティーだと思いますよ。

Had a great time on our sunrise tour. Driver was knowledgeable and talked much of the trip. The sunrise itself was spectacular. You arrive in the dark and I have never seen so many stars. It is definitely a good idea to bring warm clothes. I had a hooded ski jacket and gloves so I was comfortable. On the way back you can see beautiful views you will have missed on the way up due to darkness. Before heading back to your hotel there is a breakfast stop at the golf course. The food was good. We had a great time and recommend this tour for anyone looking to view the sunrise.
We participated as a couple for the first time on the Big Island. The tour guide was experienced and seemed very familiar with the route, having guided every day. As we approached the summit, the thinning air caused some dizziness and headaches. They provided great support for that, and we were able to see very beautiful scenery and a starry sky, which made us very satisfied!
ハワイ島初めての夫婦で参加しました。ツアーガイドの方はさすが毎日ガイドしているだけあって、慣れた様子でした。山頂に近づくにつれて、空気が薄くなることによりめまいや頭痛がすることがあります。そちらのフォローもしっかりして頂き、とてもキレイな景色と星空を見ることが出来てとても満足です！

Last year, the weather was bad, and I had to give up on going to Mauna Kea. This year, I decided to try again. Thanks to waiting a year, the weather this time was perfect. The bento and miso soup at Mauna Kea were much appreciated. I was thrilled to see the endangered silversword plant. The scene with the Subaru telescope and the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea is something I will never forget. I realized I had dropped my camera at the summit while stargazing at the mid-level. When I consulted with the guide, Mr. Matsuzaki, he immediately discussed it with the security team, obtained permission to return to the summit, and went back after the stargazing to help me look for it. During that time, he turned off the car lights to be considerate of the observatories at the summit and drove in the faint light of the crescent moon. When he found my camera, I was moved to tears. I will never forget the song "Ryusei" by Kobukuro that was playing in the car at that moment. I also want to thank everyone in the tour for kindly accompanying me to the summit. I apologize for returning to the hotel late because of this. Lastly, Mr. Matsuzaki, thank you very much.
昨年は天気が悪く、オニヅカでクローズとのことで断念しました。今年こそと再チャレンジしました。1年間待ったおかげで、今回の天気は最高でした。オニヅカでの幕の内弁当と味噌汁はありがたかったです。絶滅危惧種のシルバー・スォードを見ることができ感激でした。マウナケアの山頂ではスバル望遠鏡と夕日のシーンは一生忘れることができません。中腹での星空観測の際にカメラを山頂に落としたことに気づきました。ガイドのMatsuzakiさんに相談すると、すぐに警備の方と協議していただき、山頂に戻る許可をとり、天体観測後に山頂に探しに戻ってくれました。その際、山頂の天文台群に配慮して車のライトを消し、三日月の僅かな光の中を運転され、その上、カメラを見つけてくれた際は、涙がでました。その時、車内で流れていたコブクロの「流星」は一生忘れないでしょう。参加したツアーの皆様方も快く山頂までつきあっていただき感謝しております。このため、ホテルへの帰りが遅くなってしまい申し訳ありませんでした。最後になりますが、Matsuzakiさん、本当にありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, it seems that the whales went towards Canada, so we couldn't go whale watching. I'm disappointed that it looks like I won't be able to use the tickets before they expire! I'll try again next year.
あいにくクジラたちはカナダの方へ行ったようでホエールウオッチングは叶いませんでした。
頂いたチケット期限に使えそうもなく残念！！又来年トライします。
Thank you very much for joining our whale watching cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to see any whales.
The next season will start in just a few months!
We hope you will come back for another try.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I was deeply moved by the experience of being able to drive to a higher point than Mount Fuji and the breathtaking views at the summit. I was also very satisfied with the tour conductor's explanations and attentiveness.

We enjoyed doing this Circle Island tour, very informative tour, our driver Keith was nice, and explained every landmark places. We took the Ali Luau package so we can go around inside the villages with our own time as we have a small kid to walk. The Ha Breath of life was fantastic show.
I've done 3 or 4 luaus in my day. This was the best. The service was top notch. I had one of the attendees watch my infant son while we went for food. My 4 year old daughter danced up a storm while watching the professional dancers and the other patrons where kind beyond belief.
Could not have gotten a better experience.
