The smell was a bit concerning, but we were able to see a lot of beautiful scenery. My son really enjoyed the jungle cruise and said he wants to go again and live in Hawaii.

匂いは気になりましたがきれいな景色を沢山見れて、息子はジャングルクルーズがとても楽しかっだみたいで、また行きたい、ハワイに住みたいと言ってました。

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる <午前/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

Wonderful sunrise. 素晴らしい朝日

Reviewed by: マミ。

When I went to Maui, I definitely wanted to see the sunrise at Haleakalā, so I joined this tour! And I got to see the most amazing sunrise!! The tour was a simple one with transportation and breakfast included, but I enjoyed it enough. Just be aware that it doesn't include any warm clothing, so please prepare that yourself. Also, everyone except us was foreign.

マウイ島に行ったら、絶対にハレアカラの朝日を観たいと思ってこのツアーに参加しました!
そして、最高の朝日が拝めました!!
ツアーとしては、送迎と朝ご飯付きの簡単なツアーでしたが充分楽しめました。防寒具とかも何もついてないので
ご自身で用意して下さい。あと私達以外は全員、外人でした

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

Three and a half hours. たっぷり3時間半

Reviewed by: madai

I stayed at the Courtyard King Kamehameha Hotel. The show takes place at this hotel.

We were supposed to gather at 5:00 PM, but when we arrived, there was a long line in the hallway next to the lobby. I recommend arriving early for check-in, as being late in line can affect your meal time later. If you pay a special fee, you can get seats closer to the front and don’t have to wait as long.

When you line up, they will ask if you want a flower lei or a shell lei. The shell lei is free, while the flower lei comes at a cost. We exchanged shell leis with each other. After that, we exchanged our vouchers for tickets and headed to the venue.

Once we arrived at the venue, soothing Hawaiian music was playing continuously. We waited at our seats until everyone was at their tables. Drinks are self-serve near the entrance. Adults can have beer or mai tais, while children only get red cranberry juice. My 10-year-old child was not allowed to have that. At the same time, there was an introduction to about five traditional games, where you could decorate your face and feet with stamps. Participation in these activities was optional.

Afterward, there was a hula dance lesson, and explanations about traditional dishes, such as meat wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, along with about 30 minutes of free time. Hawaiian music continued to play during this time. About an hour after entering, King Kamehameha finally arrived from the sea.

After that, it was finally time for dinner, but we had to go up to the buffet in order from the front tables. However, we couldn’t go up freely. They called each table, so we had to wait at least 30 minutes after the first table was called. My 10-year-old fell asleep without eating, despite being hungry, as it took a long time for our table to be called.

Desserts, coffee, and tea were available. Just when I thought we could return to our room after finishing our meal, the show finally began. The show featured Hawaiian dances and a fire show, which were quite good, but it took a considerable amount of time to get to the meal and to watch the show. You really need to have a relaxed mindset and plenty of time, or else you might end up feeling exhausted.

The Hawaiian music was very pleasant, and my two sons and husband dozed off, swaying their heads during the crucial part of the show. It ended at 8:30 PM. I think it’s a show more suited for adults. My 10-year-old ultimately didn’t wake up and managed to eat a packed meal of chicken nuggets, fries, white rice, and meat after we returned to the room. It’s a show aimed at older audiences rather than children.

コートヤードキングカメハメハホテルに宿泊してました。ショーはこのホテルで行われます。
17:00集合でしたが、行くとロビー横の廊下に長蛇の列ができてました。
後のことも考えると受付には早くいくことをお勧めします。並ぶのが遅いと、後々食事時間に影響します。
特別料金を払うと前の方の席になり、あまり並ぶ必要もありません。
並ぶと順番に対応してくれますが、花のレイか貝殻のレイか聞かれます。貝殻は無料で花のレイ有料です。お互いに貝殻のレイをかけあいました。
その後バウチャーをチケットにかえ、入場する会場に向かいます。
会場につくとず~っとゆったりとしたハワイアンミュージックが演奏されています。全員がテーブルにつくまで、席に座って待ちます。飲み物は入口の近くに自分でとりにいきます。大人はビールやマイタイが提供され、子どもは赤いクランベリージュースのみです。10歳の子供はそれがダメでした。それと同時に5種類くらいの昔の遊びや顔や足にスタンプのような飾りをつけたりと伝統的な昔の遊びの紹介があります。それに参加するかどうかは自由です。その後フラダンスのレッスンがあつたり、伝統的な料理、バナナの皮に肉を包んで蒸すなどの説明があったり、30分くらいの自由な時間があります。その間もハワイアンミュージックがずっとかかってます。入場して一時間くらい経つとようやく海からカメハメハ大王が陸に上陸してきます。
それが終わるとようやく食事ですが、前方の席から順番によぱれ食事(ビュッフェ)を取りにいきます。でも自由には取りにいけないのです。テーブルごとによばれるので、とにかく最初のテーブルの人たちが呼ばれてからもさいてい30分は待ちました。10歳の子供は、ゆったりとしたミュージックと昼のシュノーケリングでとうとうご飯を食べずに寝てしまいました。お腹がへっているのに、なかなか順番は来ず、自分のテーブルの順番を待ってやっとご飯を食べました。
デザートコーヒー紅茶はあります。
御飯が食べ終わってもう部屋に帰ってもいいんじゃないのと思う頃にようやくショーが始まりました。ショーはハワイアンダンスにファイヤーショーがあったりなかなかよかったですが、とにかく食事にありつくのにも、ショーを見るのにも時間がかなりかかり、心と時間にかなりゆとりをもたないと、逆に疲れてしまいました。
ハワイアンミュージックはとても心地よく、息子二人と旦那もウトウト肝心のショーの時には、
頭が揺れてました。終わりは20:30。大人が参加するショーかなと思います。
10歳の子供は結局起きず、何とかチキンナゲットとポテト、白ご飯とお肉だけをいただいたパックに詰め込んで、部屋に戻ってから食べました。
子どもより年配の方々向けのショーです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. I want to go again and see more stars! マウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアー また行きたいなー&もっと星みたいなー

Reviewed by: カズファミリー

I'm glad I was able to safely visit Mauna Kea, which is higher than Mount Fuji, without getting altitude sickness. I was happy to see the sunset and the sea of clouds during the breaks along the way. The staff mentioned that due to the moon, the stars wouldn't be very visible, but I was pleased to see them better than in Japan. Since it gets cold, warm soup might be better than coffee.

富士山より高いマウナケアに安心安全に行けて高山病にならず良かったです。途中休憩があり夕日も雲海も見れて幸せでした。
スタッフの方から月の関係で星があまり見えないと言われましたが日本より良く見えて良かったです。
体が冷えるのでコーヒーより暖かいスープだともっと良いかもしれませんねー。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

The sunset is breathtaking. 夕日が絶景

Reviewed by: nico

We took our time climbing the mountain by eating donuts and stopping by souvenir shops. Since there’s not much walking involved, it’s quite easy. They will take you to a spot where you can leisurely enjoy the sunset and starlit sky. The sunset sinking into the great outdoors was sparkling and very beautiful. The changing colors of the sky were also lovely. You can borrow a warm jacket and a blanket, but it gets quite cold at night, so I think it’s a good idea to prepare a little on your own as well.

ドーナツを食べたり、お土産屋さんに寄ったりして、ゆっくり山に登って行きました。ほとんど歩くことはないので、楽です。夕日・星空をゆったり鑑賞できる場所に移動してくれます。大自然の中に沈んでいく夕日は、キラキラしてとても奇麗でした。刻一刻と変わっていく空の色も素敵です。防寒ジャケットや膝掛けは貸してもらえますが、夜はかなり冷えるので自分でも多少準備をしておくと安心と思います。

An experience that can only be had by participating in the tour. ツアーに参加しなければできない体験

Reviewed by: ひまわり

The deep blue sky before sunset, the colors of the earth at the summit, the sea of clouds dyed by the setting sun, the Milky Way and the starry sky, and the large moon clearly visible. Everything was a sight I had never seen before.

I was worried about altitude sickness, but thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to head up with peace of mind. I felt a bit unsteady at the summit, but sitting on the stone steps and taking deep breaths quickly made me feel better. The view and weather from the visitor center were completely different from those at the summit, so I’m really glad I chose the tour that went all the way up.

I truly appreciated the benefit of downloading photos when I got back. Many of the photos I took myself didn’t turn out great... I’m happy to receive photos that captured the scenery of that day perfectly. They also took many fun composition shots.

Thank you so much to our guide, Macchan, for making us laugh! It was great to hear stories about the Big Island along the way. I was impressed by your wide knowledge and thoughtfulness.

The two-shot photo with the starry sky taken by Kon-chan became the best memory of this trip. I plan to print it out and display it.

Thank you both for a wonderful time!

If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I will definitely use Masashi's tour!

日が暮れる前の濃い青の空、頂上の大地の色、夕陽に染まる一面の雲海、天の川と満天の星空、くっきりと見える大きな月。すべてが初めての光景でした。

高山病が不安でしたが、ガイドさんのアドバイスで安心して向かうことができました。
頂上ではふらつきなどがありましたが、石段に座って深呼吸をしているとすぐに良くなりました。
ビジターセンターからの景色と天気は頂上と全然違ったので上まで行くツアーにして本当によかったです。

写真ダウンロードの特典のありがたみは帰ってから痛感しました。
自分で撮った写真は後で見るとイマイチなのも多くて・・・。
あの日の景色をそのまま切り取ったような写真がもらえて嬉しいです。
楽しい構図の写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

ガイドのまっちゃん、たくさん笑わせてくれてありがとうございました!道中でハワイ島の話も聞けて良かったです。幅広い知識と心配りに感動しました☆*。

こんちゃんに撮っていただいた星空バックのツーショット写真はこの旅一番の記念になりました♪プリントアウトして飾りたいと思います。

お二人共素敵な時間を本当にありがとうございました☆彡.。

Incredible! This is what I wanted to see the most! 感動!これが一番見たかったもの!

Reviewed by: aloha♪

Things I wanted to see on the Big Island: Nature Point on the east side, Kilauea Volcano, and sunset & stargazing from Mauna Kea. I considered doing a combined tour of Kilauea and Mauna Kea, but due to travel time and some places being inaccessible, I decided to join separate tours.

In the end, it was a great success and I was very satisfied. We left in the afternoon, took our time acclimating by having a meal at the mid-level, and then headed to the summit. I only brought a lightweight down jacket and an outdoor jacket. They lent me ski wear, a hat, and gloves, so I was able to enjoy the sunset at the summit without shivering from the cold and had a wonderful view of the starry sky! There were so many stars that I didn't even know where to look.

That day was Tanabata. In Japan, it often rains or is cloudy on this day, but we had a clear view of the Milky Way. I was given instructions on how to take photos that looked like composites, and the results turned out great! The tour staff helped set up my camera for beautiful shots, and I ended up with lovely photos. Of course, you can also take wonderful pictures with your smartphone.

In addition to bottled water, they provided warm miso soup and drinks during the meal, which was nice. I was really lucky with the weather. I’m grateful that my number one thing I wanted to do on the Big Island turned out to be such a wonderful day, along with the attentive service and the entertaining guide! I'm glad I made the reservation in advance, as the tour was fully booked.

This is the only way to do a Circle Island tour!!!

Reviewed by: Emmii68

I have previously done a Circle Island tour on a "big bus" with lots of other people, and I can say with absolute confidence and conviction that a customised tour is the only way to go!! We saw exactly what we wanted to see; stayed as long as we wanted to stay; and had lunch where we chose (North Shore Food Trucks). Moe, our driver, was fantastic: we mapped out the day with what we wanted to see and he made sure we got to see everything we wanted to. Moe was polite, courteous (opening and closing car doors), informative, friendly, chatty and had plenty of cold bottled on hand for us throughout the day. Highly recommend.

Masashi is the best! マサシ最高♪

Reviewed by: ミントン

I participated with my husband after being recommended by a community on Facebook that loves the Big Island of Hawaii. Our guide was "Matsucchan," who looked great in a knit hat. On the day of the tour, I was a bit worried because it started to drizzle under a cloudy sky, but the guide's expertise was evident!

Working in tandem with another guide, Konno, we persevered and moved locations as needed to find the best spots, allowing us to enjoy both the sunset and the starry sky. It was said that the following day would feature a meteor shower (I forgot the name of it), so visibility was a bit challenging, but we had a clear view of the moon through a reflecting telescope (which can be tracked via GPS), and with the careful explanations using a laser pointer, we learned about the constellations and their history.

What impressed me the most was their ability to not miss any photo opportunities! They managed all the positions, so I felt completely at ease.

Additionally, there’s a follow-up story: during the tour, my husband lost his favorite sunglasses and was feeling down the next day. However, when we inquired about it on a whim, they found them on the bus and delivered them during that day's tour. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude once again. Thank you, Matsucchan, for the wonderful memories and the follow-up! (≧▽≦)

FaceBookのハワイ島好きコミュニティで勧められたこともあり、夫と二人で参加しました。
ガイドはニット帽がよく似合う"松っちゃん"。
当日は途中から霧雨の曇り空で大丈夫かなーと思ってたんですが、週5回上っている眼力は確かです!

もう1グループのガイドで相方のkonnoさんと連携して、粘りながら時には場所を移動しながら、ポイントを探し出して、サンセットも星空もしっかり観ることができました。
星空はナントカ流星群(聞いたのに忘れました;)が飛び交った翌日らしいので、ちょっと見えづらい感じでしたが、月は反射望遠鏡(GPSで追えるらしいです)でバッチリ見えたし、レーザーポインターを使っての丁寧な説明で、見えた星から星座の配置図とか歴史とかも知ることができました。

もっとも感心したのはシャッターチャンスとポイントを外さないこと!
立ち位置も全部仕切ってくれるので、任せておけば安心でした。

あと後日談がありまして、ツアー中に夫がお気に入りのサングラスを失くしてしまい、翌日半日ションボリしていたのですが、ダメモトで問い合わせたら、バスの中で見つけてその日のツアーの流れで届けてくれました。
この場を借りて、もう一度お礼が言いたいです。
松っちゃん、楽しい思い出とアフターフォローをありがとうございました(≧▽≦)

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

Enjoy the tranquil sea and rich nature. 静かな海と豊かな自然を満喫

Reviewed by: (A)

For my first trip to Hawaii, I chose the somewhat offbeat option of West Oahu.

I was able to enjoy snorkeling in a quiet sea with mostly locals and the beautiful greenery of nature.

I heard many interesting stories from our guide that included Hawaii's history and mythology, as well as the potential of West Oahu for the future. Since the tour included participants from various countries, as mentioned in other reviews, I was able to listen to explanations in both Japanese and English, which was also helpful for my English studies. Additionally, it was wonderful to see the guide casually picking up trash from the beach as we went along.

Although it was my first experience with snorkeling, I was able to enjoy it comfortably thanks to the thorough explanations and support. I encountered sea turtles multiple times and even swam close to the surface with them, making it a memorable experience.

初ハワイで、西オアフというマニアックな選択をしました。

観光客はほとんどいない、現地の人達ばかりの静かな海でのシュノケーリングと
緑の綺麗な大自然を満喫できました。

ハワイの歴史や神話を交えたガイドさんの説明やこれからの西オアフの可能性など
興味深い話もたくさん聞くことができました。
外国籍の方も交じってのツアーだったので、他の方の口コミにも書かれていましたが、
日本語と英語両方の説明を聞くことができ、英語の勉強にも少しなって良かったです。
また、行く先々でガイドの方が、浜辺に落ちているゴミをさりげなく拾っていかれる姿は素敵でした。

シュノーケリングは初の経験でしたが、丁寧な説明とサポートのおかげで安心して楽しむことができました。
ウミガメとも複数回遭遇し、一緒に海面近くで泳ぐこともできたりと、思い出に残る経験でした。

Thank you for your review.
West Oahu on weekdays is truly empty, so when snorkeling, you might wonder if you're really in Hawaii because the sea is so quiet during the week.

Our company specializes in snorkeling and ocean activities. We started this tour company to share the joy of the ocean with everyone, especially beginners.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii someday.

Mahalo nui loa,

レビュー、ありがとうございます。
平日の西オアフは本当に人がいないのでシュノーケルなど、本当にハワイなのか?と思うくらい平日は静かな海ですね。

当社はシュノーケルと海でのアクティビティのスペシャリストです。どんな方にでも海の楽しさをしってもらおうと始めたツアー会社です。特に初心者の方の味方です。
楽しんでいただけたようでよかったです。またいつかハワイにこられたときにはお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。

Premium Pearl Harbor Tour - USS Arizona, Battleship Missouri, Aviation Museum Control Tower & Lunch

Great excursion!

Reviewed by: Garry and Kim

My husband and I would highly recommend this excursion to everyone that's considering it. We liked that once we arrived at Pearl Harbour, our tickets were ready and given to us. There was no waiting in lines only to tell us our tour time would be many hours later!!! (If you go on your own, your ticket may instruct you to come back 3 or more hours laters since it books up daily). Booking through this company kept from having to deal with all of that! We had enough time to tour the grounds before our show and ride to the Arizona Memorial. Then, we traveled by bus to the USS Missouri. We decided to take the guided tour and still had time to explore the extras on our own before we had to meet for the bus for our return trip. This excursion was very informative, and we would do it again!

【空港送迎】ダニエル・K・イノウエ国際空港(旧ホノルル国際空港)⇔ホテル 格安乗合送迎シャトルサービス by ロバーツハワイ

The pickup and drop-off were smooth. ピックアップも送迎もスムーズでした

Reviewed by: ぱんだちょう

I used this service for a one-way trip from the Ala Moana Hotel to Honolulu Airport. I had no other options for a flight departing at 6 AM from Honolulu to Narita Airport, and since I had used this service before, I requested it again this time.

The emergency contact number on the reservation confirmation was available from 5:30 AM, so I asked VELTRA to confirm a contact number that could be reached at 3 AM for the pickup time. In the end, I didn't need to use it, but given the early hour, I felt reassured knowing I could contact them if necessary.

I waited 10 minutes, and right on time, at exactly 3 AM, I was picked up. After that, we stopped by an apartment in Waikiki, and I was dropped off near the international check-in counter at 3:40 AM.

One downside was that the pickup location at Mahukuna St. Entrance is closed from 12 PM to 6 PM, so to reach the meeting point, you need to go from the main entrance. I didn't realize it was closed this time, and since the door opened from the inside, I was able to exit. However, after that, it closed, and I couldn't get back in, so I was glad I had my suitcase with me.

アラモアナホテルからホノルル空港までの片道で利用しました。
ホノルルから成田空港までの臨時便で朝6時出発の便で
他の選択肢がなかったというのもありますが、以前利用したことがあったので
今回もお願いしました。
予約確認書の緊急連絡先電話番号が5:30~となっていて
VELTRAさんにピックアップ時間の3時に連絡可能な電話番号を確認していただきました。
結局使うことはありませんでしたが、万が一の際は時間が時間なだけに
連絡するつもりでしたので、安心できました。
10分前から待っていましたが、時間通り、ぴったりジャスト3時に拾っていただき
その後、ワイキキのアパート1件により、3:40に国際線のカウンター付近で下していただきました。
1点、マイナス要素とするならば、ピックアップ場所のMahukuna St. Entranceが12時~6時まで
閉鎖されているので、集合場所に行くにはメインエントランスから行く必要があります。
今回は閉鎖されていることに気づかず、中からはドアが開いたので出られました。
が、その後、閉まってしまい、入ることはできなかったので、スーツケースを持って出て良かったです。

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Amazing! Truly unforgettable!

Reviewed by: Joe Ciaccia

Did the road to Hana tour today in Maui. We had the pleasure of getting Peaches as our tour guide. She was one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable individuals I have ever encountered. Being in the people business myself it was a breath of fresh air to find someone like her that takes pride in her job and her island. The information that she gave made the tour not just amazing for the scenery, it was very educational and personal. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who visits Maui and I would highly recommend Peaches! Thank you for all that you do and making this a trip to remember!

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: 〆たら

The hurricane passed, and with clear skies and no moon, the starry night was truly beautiful. It was probably the most amazing sight I've ever seen, and I was moved. It was quite windy and cold, but they prepared warm tea for us, and the "freshly baked" cookies were delicious.

ハリケーンが通り過ぎて快晴で、月もなかったので、本当にきれいな星空でした。たぶん今まで見た中で一番すごくて、感動でした。
結構風が強くて寒かったですが、温かい紅茶を用意していただいたり、"焼きたての"クッキーも美味しかったです。
