All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Our driver AC was great recommend excursion learned a lot great views

It was such a beautiful and memorable tour! I highly recommend you take this tour! They will make sure you have tickets for that day.... If you go on your own, you are not guaranteed tickets for the day. I recommend you take this tour... The tour around downtown was also so informative. The bus driver was very knowledgeable and funny!

I so so so recommend the Surf Bus!! It was one of the best ways to see and experience North Shore! The driver was the best! He have great information and was so funny!! The paddle board was amazing, waterfall beautiful and the beach with snorkeling just awesome!! I recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet...(waterfall and snorkeling areas) Hands down best your we took!

Our bus driver kept us on track and shared great information about the entire Honolulu area. We returned to the bus early and he pulled out a ukulele and started singing. It was very entertaining! The AZ Memorial was impressive and our driver was great!

The river rafting was enjoyable, but I got bitten by mosquitoes in front of the cave. It's a good idea to bring mosquito repellent when you go.

川下りはGoodで楽しめたが、洞窟前では蚊に刺されまくった。行くときには蚊取り線香を持っていくとよい。

Very nice crew and boat. Good food and alots of toys .To many rules over all great time ..

This was my several times visiting Hawaii, and since there was a whale watching tour available, I signed up with high expectations.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and occasionally showing their tails in a location not far from Honolulu, but there were no jumps or anything like that; it felt more like they were swimming gracefully, which lacked a bit of excitement. So, I was a bit disappointed...

However, the weather was nice, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. Among the boats around us, the Star of Honolulu was the largest and most stylish!

Next time, I definitely want to see them jump and get my revenge!

何度目かのハワイで、ホエールウォッチングの設定がある時でしたので、期待して申込ました。
ホノルルからさほど離れていない場所で潮を吹くところや尾びれをちらっと見せたりと見ることは出来ましたが、ジャンプするとかは無く優雅に泳いでる感じで迫力に欠けたかなという事で、う～ん！少し残念・・・
でも、お天気も良く船酔いする心配もなく、周りにいた船のなかでは一番大きくてカッコイイスターオブホノルル号でした！
次回はぜひジャンプを身にリベンジしたいです。

Both the half-day tour and the Polynesian Cultural Center were enjoyable and packed with activities (^_^)v. The night show was wonderful, and the final fire performance was amazing. The guide was great, and I had a full day of fun. Considering the differences in dinner options, the seating for the show, and the backstage tour, I think it was worth it to go deluxe.

半日観光とポリネシア文化センターどちらも楽しく盛りだくさん(^_^)v
ナイトショーも素敵でした。最後のファイヤーパフォーマンスは凄かったです。
ガイドの方も良かったですし、一日たっぷり楽しめました。
夕食内容の違いとショーの席の場所、バックヤード見学を含めるとデラックスにしてよかったと思いました。

After seeing the tree that inspired Hitachi's "This Tree, What Tree," we followed a course that included the Dole Plantation, horseback riding by the beach, and turtle watching.

Above all, horseback riding was the best! Riding through the lush, jungle-like nature while looking at the ocean was incredible. Although it was a long distance, I could see turtles from the horse as I gazed at the sandy beach. It was very refreshing and made me feel great.

During the "turtle watching," the turtles didn't come up to the sandy beach, but I was able to see them swimming in the water.

However, the driver was a bit chatty. His stories about his past work, which seemed unrelated to the tour (common among retirees), felt like listening to an old employee's tales at an izakaya, which dampened the travel mood. Additionally, when a couple on the bus mentioned they wanted to go to a certain popular tourist spot, the driver made some snide comments after dropping them off, which felt a bit awkward (they wanted to go there, so what's the problem?).

There were some enjoyable recommendations from the guide, and some of the stories were fun to listen to, so it wasn't all bad...

日立の「このー木なんの木」のモデルになった木を見てから、ドールプランテーション→海辺で乗馬→ウミガメを見る　といったコース。
なんといっても、乗馬は最高です！　ジャングルみたいな大自然の中を抜けて、海を見ながら乗馬。距離はありますが、馬上から砂浜を眺めると、ウミガメの姿も見えました。とっても気持ちよくて、かなりリフレッシュできました。

「ウミガメ見物」では、砂浜まではウミガメちゃんは上ってきてはくれませんでしたが、海の中で泳いでいる姿を確認できました。

ただ、ドライバーさんが少々おしゃべり？
観光とはあまり関係のない自慢話（定年の方に多い昔のお仕事自慢系）は、居酒屋でオヤジ社員の話を聞いているようで、せっかくの旅気分がそがれました・・・。その他、バスに乗り合わせていたカップルが、「●●（THE観光名所みたいな店）に行きたい」と行ったら、その店前で下ろした後、「なんでこんなとこ行くかね〜？」的な陰口（？）を、しつこく言っていたのが微妙だったり・・・（その人たちは行きたかったんだから、いいじゃないか・・・）。

ガイドさんならではのオススメスポットに案内していただけたり、お話の中には聞いていて楽しいものも含まれていたので、悪い方ではないのですが・・・。

Tour operator was of a high standard and very professional.The various areas of the Pearl Harbour area were well organised. Especially the USS Missouri tour and artifacts. The Pearl Harbour audio self tour was well organised too, however insufficient time was allowed to seriously view all stations of the tour. The Arizona Memorial pre film of the events was very real and looked at from all sides. The actual memorial was moving and somber. again a little more time would have been benifical. The tour concluded with a drive through the Punchbowl Cemetry. The only disappointing part of the day was the poor and very limited options for food and drinks. As the tour was a full day it would have been more enjoyable if a larger range of foodstuff was available. Finally the tour could have been more enjoyable with an extra hour at the Pearl Harbour and Aviation Muesum. Well done to our tour operators driver. A memorable day.

Great! For $18 each, picked up at resort, trip down river to the Fern Grotto. We knew that previous rains had altered the view, so there was no disappointment. Live entertainment on the way out and a great island history lesson on the way back. A good, short tour of this part of Kaua'i

Was a beautiful experience. The people were kind and fun loving. The dancers were incredible and the food was delicious!! Very happy we got to see this luau I would go again and recommend it to anyone!!!

I wanted to experience the forest impression that stays with you later, so I decided to join this tour in Hawaii by myself. The other Japanese-language tours didn't fit my schedule, so I joined this English one alone. They provided everyone with rubber boots. When asked what size I wear, I said 8, which fit perfectly (I wear 24 cm). They also allowed exchanges. There were some muddy areas, but since it was a stream over hard volcanic rock, walking was easy. I crossed the stream a few times and it reminded me of my childhood, splashing my feet in the water. Since I was wearing rubber boots, it was no problem. At the end, we took commemorative photos at Mano Falls. Although the tour was in English, the guide was also good at Japanese. The Aussie group with me ended up with muddy bottoms from the mud. I wonder why? Maybe everyone else was fine. It was a lot of fun. I also got to experience the aroma of the coffee forest.

海外では後になって森の印象が残るので、ハワイでも行ってみたくて一人参加しました。ほかの日本語版ツアーは時間が合わず、英語版のこちらに一人参加になりました。長靴を全員に貸してくれました。何インチといわれ8と答えジャスト（私は24cm）すこし大きめでいいみたい。交換もききました。ぬかるみもあったけど、火山の硬い岩のうえの渓流なので、歩くのは簡単でした。数回小川をまたいだけど、こどものころを思い出し水の中に足を突っ込んでちゃぷちゃぷと。長靴なので平気。最後にマノウの滝で記念撮影でした。英語だけどガイドさんが日本語もじょうずでした。いっしょのオージーのグループはぬかるみでおしりがどろだらけでした。なんでかなあ？たぶん、みんな普通はだいじょうぶ。楽しかったですよ。コーヒーの森のかおりも経験できました。

Driver polite, punctual. Memorial moving experience. Unfortunate stops are no longer allowed at Punchbowl Cemetery.

My family and my in-laws attended this event. Everyone enjoyed the food and the dancers. I thought the banana bread (very yummy!) was better than any of the dessert choices. All the performers looked like they really enjoy what they are doing.

We had a wonderful fun time. We would love to do it again. I was not overly impressed with the food at the Polynesian Cultural Center though.

When the time for the pickup arrived, an American got out of the car. Before saying "HELLO," he spoke fluent Japanese, saying, "Your husband is in the passenger seat." That's right, Stefan is a Samurai Blue born in Japan.

The day before, the name of the hotel was different from the reservation, which was a yellow card. I informed them about my leg issues. "I'll let the driver know," came the cheerful response. America is friendly to people with disabilities. Compared to that, Japan is a bit disappointing.

After finishing the pickups at each hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center. It took about two hours, but with Stefan's lively chatter, we arrived in no time. We received drinks, miso soup, and a bento box. The person in charge of distribution was Matsuzaki-san, who spoke in a strange Osaka dialect. I finished my meal while glancing at the bento boxes from other tours. It was delicious.

After that, we geared up completely with ski pants, warm clothing, hats, and gloves to head to the summit. By the way, only Nature School lends out ski pants.

We switched from 2WD to 4WD and headed onto Saddle Road. The natural massage made my legs feel lighter, maybe? We stopped along the way for photos.

Finally, the long-awaited Subaru Telescope came into view. Excited, I went outside. It was cold. We took commemorative photos with the Subaru Telescope in the background. Stefan. (I wish he had told me my hat was a bit askew.) (Why is it that the Matsuzaki team is holding a banner and taking commemorative photos?)

The sky changed moment by moment, creating a romantic sunset. It quickly became pitch dark after sunset. We decided to descend within 30 minutes.

We did some stargazing around 3,900 meters. Familiar constellations like the Big Dipper, Polaris, and Scorpius were visible. There were so many stars that I got confused. I also saw the Southern Cross. I was disappointed in my own knowledge, thinking it could only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. I saw Saturn's rings through a telescope. A cup of tea for a break.

Back to the Onizuka Visitor Center. Bathroom break. You must not sleep in the car on the round trip to the summit. If you sleep, you'll get altitude sickness.

On the way back to the hotel, I could have slept. But I couldn't because Stefan's Kamakura stories were so interesting. We arrived at the hotel after 11 PM.

It was long, but it was a valuable experience. (If I were younger, I would have jumped at the summit.)

Good job, Stefan. Go Samurai Blue in the World Cup! I'll cheer together with you.

当日ピックアップの時刻になり、車から降りてきたのはアメリカ人。「HELLO」と言う前に「旦那さんは助手席に」ペラペラな日本語。そうステファンは、日本生まれのサムライブルー。
　前日、ステイホテル名が予約と違っていて、イエローカード。足が悪いことを伝える。「担当ドライバーに伝えておきます。」と明るい声。アメリカは障害者に優しい。それと比べると日本はトホホ。
　各ホテルのピックアップを終了し、向かうは、オニズカ・ビジターセンター。２時間位かかったが、ステファンの軽快なおしゃべりで、あっと言う間に到着。飲み物と味噌汁と弁当をもらう。配布責任者は、妙な大阪弁のマツザキさん。他のツアーの弁当を横目で見ながら完食。美味しかった。
　その後、スキーパンツ、防寒着、帽子、手袋の完全装備で山頂へ。因みに、スキーパンツまで貸してくれるのは、ネイチャースクールさんだけとの事。
　２駆から４駆に切り替えサドルロードへ。自然のマッサージで、足が軽くなったかな？
途中で写真撮影。
　やっと待望のスバル天文台が見えてきた。心弾ませ外へ。寒い。スバル天文台をバックに
記念撮影。ステファン。（ちょっと帽子がずれていると言ってくれれば良かったのに）（何故だ。マツザキチームは横断幕を持って、記念写真を撮っているのに）
刻々と大空が変化し、ロマンチックなサンセット。日没後は直ぐ真っ暗に。３０分以内に下山が決まり事。
　３９００ｍ付近で天体観測。北斗七星、北極星、さそり座等の日本でおなじみの星座。見えすぎてわからなくなった。南十字星も見た。南半球でしか見えないと思っていた自分の知識のなさにがっかり。土星のリングは天体望遠鏡で。紅茶で一服。
　オニズカ・ビジターセンターへ。トイレ休憩。山頂までの往復の車中で、寝てはいけません。寝ると高山病になります。
　ホテルへの帰りは寝れます。でも寝れませんでした。ステファンの鎌倉物語が面白くて。１１時過ぎにホテル到着。
　長かったけど貴重な体験だった。（若かったら山頂で、跳んでいただろう。）
　GOOD JOB ステファン。W杯　サムライブルー　頑張れ。一緒に応援します。

A fantastic sunset and an inspiring starry sky!!
Above all, the guide was so entertaining!!
It was the best!!
I will definitely join again.

幻想的なサンセットと、感動的な星空！！
何よりも、楽しませてくれる、ガイドさん！！
最高です！！
絶対また参加します。

The tour is very informative and enjoyable. The guide is very patient and expalined in detail.

Since my first visit to Maui for the millennium in 1999, I have returned four times over 14 years, and this time I finally made it to Haleakalā. Thinking it might be my last chance, I joined a tour. Maui is a healing island, and I spent my days relaxing, but at the summit of Haleakalā, I experienced not only its beauty but also the harshness of nature. The crater visible through the clearing mist and the clouds dyed in crimson were truly moving.

The paved road goes up to 3,000 meters, allowing even the elderly to reach the summit without having to walk, which is reassuring. I was also impressed by the well-maintained restrooms.

The starry sky was absolutely stunning. It was like a natural planetarium, with a sky full of stars! It was my first experience of this kind. The constellations were clearly visible, and I was able to see the Milky Way through a telescope, which was amazing. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to see it from the summit.

Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for your assistance.

Parents always worry about their children, no matter how old they are. The best way to show filial piety is to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Thank you very much.

１９９９年ミレニアムをマウイでと初めて訪れてから１４年４回目で念願のハレアカラ
最後のチャンスと思いツアーに参加しました。
マウイは癒しの島、毎日のんびりと過ごしていましたが、ハレアカラ山頂では美しさもさることながら大自然の厳しさも体験しました。
霧の晴れ間に見えたクレーター、紅に染まる雲海、感動でした。

３０００メートルまで舗装された道路、歩く事無く山頂まで行くことが出来高齢者も安心です。
整備された水洗トイレにも感心しました。

星空が又最高。天然のプラネタリューム、まさに満天の星！初めての体験です。
星座も形がハッキリ分かり天の川も天体望遠鏡で見せてもらえ最高でした。
欲を言えば山頂で見たかったです。

山内さんお世話になりました。

親はわが子が幾つになっても気がかりです、元気で何不自由なく暮らしている事が最高の親孝行ですよ。

本当に有難うございました。

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.

2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠～くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。

Awesome time! We were very pleased with our experience!

Very nice views..pretty easy to hike..and the views were spectacular

Highly recommend! I've been to Hawaii multiple times and this was my first time on this dinner cruise. The views of Waikiki from the boat are a must. The show was great and so was the food.

We would recommend to everyone. Really enjoyed the view. If you for to Kauaii you have to see.

For our honeymoon, we wanted to do some stargazing, so we decided to go to Maui. I was torn between whether to do sunset or sunrise stargazing... I struggled with that decision. I also debated whether to choose an option from the travel agency or look for another tour. I kept worrying about it until the last minute.

In the end, choosing the tour from Maui All Stars was definitely the right decision! It became the best memory of our trip, and it’s a goal for us to come back again! Since the tour is affected by the weather, I honestly can’t say what it would be like on a less fortunate day, but I can say for sure that with our guide, Yamapi, we were in good hands no matter the situation. You’ll understand once you participate (laughs).

From the moment we started moving, it was fun, and because it was a small group, it felt very homey. Yamapi naturally facilitated communication with thoughtful care to create that atmosphere. Since there was interaction among participants, we were able to share the wonderful scenery with new friends, which doubled the excitement. We also made some lovely connections.

As for the tour, I usually get car sick even with medication, and my husband is prone to altitude sickness, but we had no issues at all! We were constantly excited by the changing scenery from the car. At each stop, the guide provided insights that made us go "I see!" and we had memorable photo sessions filled with laughter. The sunset was breathtaking. It was something you can't fully capture in photos; you have to experience it with all your senses.

And then for stargazing. Just watching the stars was satisfying, but this tour offered so much more, and we learned a lot. It’s enjoyable for everyone, including children and elderly people, so we’d love to bring our family along next time. The price is slightly higher than others, but once you participate, the difference in value is clear. I highly recommend it for first-timers.

I can see why there are so many repeat customers. Both Alan and Maui All Stars provided quick and courteous service. It’s a reliable tour, and once you experience it, you’ll definitely understand its value.

新婚旅行で星空観測がしたくて、行き先をﾏｳｲへ。星空観察はｻﾝｾｯﾄ、ｻﾝﾗｲｽﾞのどちらと一緒にしようか、、、で悩み。

We had a great time on this tour - It was also nice that they picked us up from/dropped us off at our hotel. We saw a ton of sights, got some AMAZING scenery shots, learned a lot, and it familiarized us with the island. The tour guide was funny, knowledgeable and really nice. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

One of the reasons we decided on our honeymoon in Hawaii was to see the stars at Mauna Kea. Since it was still early in the season and the weather was bad, I was really worried about whether we would be able to see anything.

On the way, while we were having our dinner bento, the sky was covered with clouds, and I was preparing myself for disappointment. However, although we couldn't see the starry sky at the summit, we persevered at a parking lot a bit lower down and were able to see beautiful stars and the red glow of volcanic flames reflected in the clouds.

I think this was possible because this tour provided warm jackets to borrow. Compared to other tours, the jackets were really thick and warm. The sunset we saw at the summit was also incredibly beautiful.

They took a lot of photos for us, and the fact that we could download them from the internet as much as we wanted was a delightful service. If you're going to the Big Island and want to book a stargazing tour, I highly recommend Mauna Kea Nature School.

ハワイの新婚旅行を決めた理由の一つがマウナケアで星をみる、ということでした。時期的にシーズンにはまだ早く、また天気も悪かったのでちゃんと見えるかとっても不安でした。
途中夕食のお弁当を食べる所でも空は雲に覆われており、だめかもっと覚悟していましたが、山頂では星空は見えなかったけど、ちょっと降りた駐車場でねばってくれて、きれいに星や火山の炎が雲にうつった赤い明かりなども見ることができました。
これも、暖かい上着を貸してくれるこのツアーだからだと思います。
ほかのツアーの方と比べてももっこもこの上下の上着でした。
山頂でみた夕焼けも最高にきれいでした。

写真もいっぱいとってくれて、好きなだけネットからダウンロードできるのも嬉しいサービスです。
ハワイ島にいって星空ツアーを申し込むなら、マサシネイチャースクールをおすすめしたいです。

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we decided to book a day tour to visit the outer islands based on my partner's suggestion. The outcome was beyond words.

It seemed that a Japanese-speaking guide was unavailable, and the guide for that day was an elderly lady in her 80s. She had been a guide many decades ago, but after being pulled back into the field after such a long time, the information she provided was not very useful, and she repeated the same things over and over, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, the day tour seemed physically demanding for her, and it was hard for us to go along with her.

I understand this day was special, but if there was no guide available, I wished they would have canceled the tour.

Moreover, the flight times varied for the tour participants, so we had to gather early in the morning and wait at the airport, and on the return trip, we were dropped off at the airport earlier than our departure time to accommodate others, which made the waiting time feel unnecessarily long. I really cannot recommend this experience.

新婚旅行でハワイにいった際、離島に行きたいという彼の意見で１日観光を申し込みました。
結果は言葉にできないものでした。

日本語ガイドの方の都合がつかなかったのかその日のガイドは８０代のおばあちゃん。何十年も前にガイドをしていたようだが、久しぶりに現場にひっぱりだされて、話す内容にはあまり有益な中身はなく、同じことを何度も繰り返すといったお粗末な内容でした。
また、１日観光が体にきつそうで、一緒に回るのはこちらが心苦しい思いがしました。
この日は特別なんでしょうが、ガイドがいないなら、ツアーを中止してほしいと思いました。

また飛行機の時間がツアー客によって異なり、朝は早くから集合して空港でまたされ、帰りもほかの方に合わせて出発より早く空港でおろされて、待ち時間がながく損した気分でした。
まったくおすすめできないです。

On the day of the tour, there were about 15 people in the group, and we were the only Japanese participants. The location was accessed from quite a distance before the usual entrance to the Manoa Falls hike. I was a bit worried because the tour reviews mentioned walking silently like in military training, but in reality, we progressed at a comfortable pace that matched the participants, and the guide provided very detailed explanations about Hawaii's nature and wildlife at various points, which was truly enjoyable☆☆

We walked near a stream to reach the waterfall, so the sound of the water was soothing, and I felt relaxed by the sounds of birds and the wind. This route is different from the Manoa Falls hike, and the waterfall at the end is also different. On the way back, we returned through a bamboo grove. Since there are muddy areas and we crossed a river, I recommend borrowing rubber boots at the beginning. It felt a bit adventurous and was a lot of fun! With rubber boots, you can proceed without worrying about water or mud.

The tour is not specifically for Japanese speakers, and the guide does not speak Japanese, so I think having some English skills would enhance the experience. However, since this hike goes through private land and is a route you can't access on the usual Manoa course, I highly recommend it for those who love Hawaii's nature. It is truly healing and a lot of fun!

I think you'll enjoy communicating with various participants as you climb together! I definitely want to participate again next time♪

当日は大体15人ぐらいのグループで、日本人は私たちだけでした。
場所は通常マノアフォールハイキングに行く入口よりかなり手前からマノアに入ります。ツアーの体験談に軍隊の訓練のように黙々と歩くと書いてあったので、少し心配でしたが、実際はツアーの参加者のペースに合わせて無理なく進み、所々でガイドさんがとても丁寧にハワイの自然や動物について説明してくれて本当に楽しかったです☆☆
また、小川の近くを歩いて滝まで行くので、水の音が心地よく、鳥や風の音にも癒されました。
マノアフォールハイキングとは違うコースで、ゴールの滝も違いますし、帰り道は竹林を戻りました。ぬかるんでいる所や、川を渡ったりするので、始めに長靴を借りる事をオススメします。少し冒険みたいな感じですごく楽しかったです！長靴だと水や泥も気にせずどんどん進めます。
ツアーは日本人向けではなく、ガイドさんも日本語は話せないので、ある程度英語が出来たほうが楽しめるとは思いますが、私有地を行くハイキングで、マノアの通常のコースとは違い自分では行けないコースなので、ハワイの自然が大好きという方には是非オススメしたいです。本当に癒されます、そしてすごく楽しい！
ツアーの参加者と協力しながら登ると思うので、いろんな方とコミュニケーションが出来て楽しいですよ！
次回もまた是非参加したいです♪
