All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Great things were the weather, water and warmth of the staff. Whale sightings were unfortunately few and at a great distance such that mostly splashes and puffs of water were seen only. Boat was nice, top deck offers the best views. Kids had fun.

We booked this trip cuz we are fans snd wete so pleased that our tour guide is an extra on Five 0. We got to meet the pilice chief (see picture) and had a fantastic time!!

Nice river cruise. Did it before going to our Luau next door

The price is a bit high, but I was very satisfied with the breakfast and whale watching. It was a bit cold in January, so I think it's a good idea to bring a hoodie or something similar.

少々値段ははりますが、朝ごはん、ホエールウォッチング大満足です
一月でしたので少々寒かったです。
パーカーなど持って行くといいと思います

The food was a big surprise. Fantastic! Way above what we expected. In addition to that, the glorious scenery, and the perfect sunset, we saw dolphins and whales. The staff was excellent, including our local Hawaiian musician Bula, and our very knowledgeable Hawaiian historian Mikaila. Highly recommended!

The location was very hard to find. Price was fair. The man entertaining was kinda corny. I was expecting more.

I was very excited to see a real whale right in front of my eyes for the first time. Since the tour was in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but overall, I was satisfied with the tour.

初めて自分の目で本物の鯨を目の前で見れて、とても興奮しました。
英語案内だったので、わからないことも多々ありましたが、
ツアー自体は問題なく満足できました。

Bruce was our driver.. he was very informative and we enjoyed our day greatly !!

Four of us thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise to fern grotto and Smith Family Luau experience afterwards. We had researched luaus on the Hawaiian Islands, and I am convinced we found the ideal one. Loved the gardens and cultural dance show!

I had a tour scheduled to arrive at Honolulu Airport on February 7th at 7:30. Since I couldn't check into the hotel until after 1 PM, I was wondering what to do because of jet lag, when I found this tour departing at 12:00. I was picked up from the airport around 9:00 and took the Red Line to Aloha Tower, where I boarded the ship without any issues. I'm glad I was able to make good use of my time.

二月７日、７：３０にホノルル空港に到着予定のツアーでした。ホテルには午後１時過ぎでないと入れないとの事でしたので、時差ぼけだし、どうしようかと思っていたところ、１２：００発のこのツアーを見つけました。空港からホテルに送ってもらったのが、９：００頃で、レッドラインで、アロハタワーに行き無事乗船しました。有効な時間の使い方が出来て良かったです。

Our driver was very knowledgeable. My wife and I were not dressed for the elements but because he knew there would be quests who would not be prepared he had a couple of jackets and we were very thankful for him. The dinner was very good as well. We would recommend this company for this tour.

I participated with a friend.
We didn't see any whales.
Therefore, they were distributing re-boarding tickets towards the end of the cruise (it's a system where you have to go get it yourself, so be careful not to forget!).

Although we didn't see any whales, I had fun just being on the boat!!
However, since it was just simple scenery unless any creatures appeared, I noticed a few children looking bored.
It might be a bit tricky for those with small children...

After disembarking, there was someone who seemed to be the captain, and I was able to take a photo with him (＾V＾).
I was grateful that he was friendly and posed for the picture.

友人と参加しました。
クジラは見られませんでした。
そのため、クルーズの終わりごろに再乗車券を配布していました（自分でもらいに行くシステムなので忘れないように注意！）。

クジラは見られませんでしたが、私は船に乗るだけで楽しかったです！！
しかし、生き物が出ない限り単純な風景が続くだけなので、退屈そうにしているお子さんがチラホラいました。
小さいお子さんがいらっしゃる方は微妙かもしれません…

下船後、船長さんらしき方がいらっしゃったので一緒に写真を撮っていただきました(＾V＾)
気さくに写ってくださってありがたかったです。

Good but very very long day so hard on the younger kids. Glad we did it but wouldn't do it again.

He most beatiful views I have ever seen!!....will definitely return!!

Excellent Driver tour guide and interaction. The whole day was memorable and excellent .

Excellent Crew involvement, Breakfast was good. No Whale sighting due too choppy water and high winds.

I am always Leary of organized tours but this one was an exception. Our guide Nick was exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, and well taken care of. He has done his homework and knows the history and the island well, showing us a lot of extra things along the way such as plants, historical notes etc. it was a long day but we enjoyed every minute and would recommend to anyone.

We took this tour to honor fallen military as we were all veterans. Also it was my brothers 40th wedding anniversary. It was very moving at Pearl Harbor and the drive up to the Punchbowl Cemetary was the icing on the cake. So much history on such a small island!!

It was the original scenery of Hawaii.
The nature is abundant, and I was able to enjoy authentic hula dancing in the fern cave.
It was a wonderful experience.

ハワイの原風景、そのものでした。
自然が豊富で、シダの洞窟では、本場のフラダンスも堪能できました。
素敵な体験でした。

Loved it!!! Most Perfect wedding ever! The staff was amazing, dinner, everything was wonderful. Highly recommend this. Thank you so very much, loved it all. Cheryl

Best guided tour by far. Very professional-able to anticipate your needs and provided things you didn't even know you needed. Chris- the owner, and our guide for the night- was fantastic. His enthusiasm was contagious. Great company, great tour. Do it!

On the day, it was really windy and extremely cold...
But I got to see the snow in Hawaii, and the sunset was absolutely magical.
There were a few clouds, so I couldn't see all the stars, but our guide, Jin, kept trying until the end, and he was very considerate from start to finish. I was really satisfied!
However, you shouldn't underestimate the mountains in Hawaii during winter.

当日は風も強くてめっちゃくちゃ寒かった…
でも、ハワイの雪が見れたし、夕日はめちゃめちゃ幻想的でした。
ちょっと雲があったので星空は全部は見れなかったけど、ガイドの仁さんも最後までトライしてくださったし、最初から最後まで色々お気遣い頂いて、本当に満足でした♪
しかし、冬のハワイの山は舐めたらあかんσ(^◇^;)

The food was good, the music was great, the entertainment was great, but I wish I would have purchased the better package. We were in an area with a bunch of younger tourists and we felt out of place.

This tour was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't get to see but one whale. The captain and crew made every effort to locate them. And we did encounter a whale but the whale didn't want to entertain us which is no fault of the crew. The boat ride itself was nice and relaxing. I would definitely do it again.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last December 17, 2016 aboard the Star of Honolulu Sunset dinner cruise and it was a very memorable experienced we had. The ship was clean, foods were very good, staff are super friendly and attentive and the emcee and dancers are spectacular. Everyone participated either with singing or dancing. It's was just plain AWESOME, Thank You.

I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!

The bus guide was very kind and pleasant. In Haleiwa Town, there were many cute shops, and I was excited to go shopping. It was my first time riding a horse, and I found handling the horse interesting, while the seaside walk was refreshing. Unfortunately, the sea turtles didn't show up, but this tour was really fun!

バスのガイドさんがとても親切で感じの良い方でした。ハレイワタウンでは とっても可愛いお店が並んでてワクワクしながらお買い物ができました。
乗馬も 初めてでしたが 馬さんの扱いが面白かったし 海辺の散歩は気持ち良かったです。ウミガメは残念ながら現れてくれませんでしたが、このツアーとても楽しかったです！

I absolutely recommend this tour!! First of all, the tour guide was a wonderful Japanese person. I was amazed by their explanations of the sightseeing spots and their thoughtful interactions. They also gave various poses and advice for photos, allowing us to take many memorable pictures. The stargazing was a world I had never seen before, and it was so moving that I was brought to tears! If I have the chance to go again, I will definitely participate! Everyone, please join the stargazing tour and experience this wonderful world for yourselves!!

このツアーは絶対オススメです！！まずツアーガイドさんが、とても素晴らしい日本人の方なんです。観光場所の説明・応対の気遣いに驚きました。また写真も色々なポーズでまた色々アドバイスをくれて、記念になる写真がたくさん撮れました。星空観測は今までみたことがない世界で涙が流れるくらい感動しました！また行ける機会があれば絶対に参加します！みなさま是非、星空観測ツアーに参加して素晴らしい世界を目にしてみてください！！

When it comes to tours on the Big Island, Mauna Kea is a must-see. My friend and I participated in the summit sunset tour and were very satisfied. It included warm clothing, a bento box, water, hot drinks, and cookies, which was very thoughtful. Our guide, Kon, was very calm and kind, and Macchan was truly a mood maker and reliable. Both of them were wonderfully attentive. The age group of participants was mostly in their 20s and 30s, creating a friendly atmosphere. The view from the summit of Mauna Kea was, of course, breathtaking, and I received a lot of energy from it. In January, there was still snow and it was cold, but since they had prepared proper cold weather gear, I had no worries and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was also convenient to stop by a supermarket on the way there and back. I highly recommend this tour for friends, families, and couples alike.

ハワイ島のツアーといえばマウナケア山は外せないと思います。私と友人は山頂サンセットツアーに参加してとても満足しました。防寒装備やお弁当、お水、暖かい飲み物とクッキーが付いていて、至れり尽くせりでした。ガイドのコンさんはとても穏やかで優しく、まっちゃんさんは本当にムードメーカーで頼もしい。二人とも気配りが素晴らしかったと思います。参加されてた年齢層は20〜30代が多く、和やかな雰囲気でした。マウナケア山頂の景色はもちろん圧巻で、パワーをたくさんもらいました。1月はまだ雪があり寒いですが、防寒対策がしっかり用意されていたので、心配なことは無く、しっかりとツアーを楽しみました。行きと帰りにスーパーに寄れたのも重宝しました。友人同士、家族、カップル、全てにオススメなツアーです。

I was relieved to have made a reservation in advance from Japan since it was fully booked at the time. I was captivated by the eloquent guide and had a wonderful time. I learned that Haleakalā has no "sound," which was a very strange sensation. I also enjoyed a magnificent sunset and had a great time stargazing. Lastly, I was able to hear the guide's heartwarming stories, and I truly felt that participating in this tour was a great decision.

当時は満席との事で日本から事前予約をしておいて一安心。お話の上手なガイドさんに魅せられ、楽しい時間を過ごしました。ハレアカラは❝音❞がないと教えていただき、とても不思議な感覚でした。素晴らしいサンセットも鑑賞し、星空観測も満喫。最後にガイドさんの心温まるお話をう伺うことが出来て、本当にこのツアーに参加してヨカッタと思います。
