We had a lot of fun on this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The service was excellent. We went on the fireworks cruise which was very nice. The crab legs were very good. The food was good, but could have been warmer. It may be hard on such a big boat. The only other thing that could have done better is we took the transportation from hotel to the boat and when we got there and started walking the girl leading us never talked to us just talked to another person and we just tried to keep up her so we knew where to go. When we got to boat we followed her on and went on wrong way and were corrected and told to go on another way. We were just following her on. She never turned around and said go on this way or have a good time. It was a little odd. Other than that it was a good time.

Last summer, three generations participated: my parents, my husband and I, and our daughter (9 years old). Even after six months, looking at the photos we took together brings back emotions and fills me with warmth. My parents were also very happy.
Yamapi was a kind and knowledgeable guide, truly wonderful. I could feel his desire to make everyone who participated happy.
Even after returning to the hotel, we were so excited that we couldn't fall asleep right away, including our daughter.
This is the best memory from our trip to Maui.
昨年の夏、両親、私達夫婦と娘(9歳)の三世代で参加しました。半年たっても、皆で撮った写真を見ると感動がよみがえり、あたたかい気持ちになります。両親も喜んでいました。
ヤマピーさん、やさしくて物知りで、本当にすてきなガイドさんでした。参加した人に喜んでもらいたい、という気持ちが伝わってきました。
ホテルに戻っても興奮して、娘も含めてすぐには寝付けませんでした。
マウイ島旅行の一番の思い出です。

Photography is one of my favorite hobbies, but my skills are still limited. After participating on this tour I can say that I have finally learned how to operate my camera. Marie is an excellent guide and a very passionate photographer. She was teaching us not only about photography techniques, but also about the history and culture of Hawaii along the way.
This tour is designed for all levels of equipment and expertise, it does not matter if you are a beginner or a pro, if you have DSL camera or a phone, she has tips for everyone. She spends one on one time with each person on the tour so you can get the help that you need.
We explored beautiful beaches, hidden waterfall, lava formations and many other breathtaking locations. The van was clean, comfortable, they also provide water, umbrellas and camera tripod.
Blue Hawaii Photo Tours provided me one of the best experiences I had in the island, I highly recommend this tour to all, It was absolutely amazing!
Aloha
Thank you for your kind review. It was fun showing you the little known areas that are off the tourist grid here in O'ahu. It's a wonderful way to see and capture the beauty of Hawaii to make your own stunning photographs. See you again next time. Mahalo, Marie

The timing was very accurate, and I felt安心して乗車できました. Unfortunately, since the driver was a woman, I had to load my luggage, which was over 30 kilograms, into the car myself. Overall, I was satisfied, but I would prefer a male driver.
時間等がとても正確で安心して乗車できました。

I love dinner cruises and have been on quite a few over the years, so I knew I had to go during this visit to Hawaii. We chose the One Star since we love crab and love AYCE crab even more!
Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep our plates full of crab, our glasses filled with drinks and would let us know when the sunset would be.
The show was fun, and the musicians are top notch! Although the weather did not cooperate, I will definitely go back again!

I wanted to head out to the North Shore, but did not want to sit on a stodgy bus all day and listen to someone drone on and on. The Surf Bus was the PERFECT choice since I not only got to experience the highlights of the area, but got to do some fun activities as well.
I decided to do Snorkeling, the Waimea Falls nature walk and SUP. Harry was very accommodating about squeezing in two activities for the morning section, and I am so happy that he did. The snorkeling was AMAZING! It was literally like swimming in an aquarium. I got to be in the water for a little over an hour and then I was picked up to go to Waimea Falls Park. The walk was quite easy, and if you have a hard time walking, shuttles are available for $10 round-trip at the park. I didn't go into the water since I just wanted to sit and relax, but the walk to and from the waterfall was about 45 minutes total. REALLY beautiful.
For my afternoon, I chose SUP and even though I had never done it before, I figured it out pretty quickly after the briefing from the guys at the surf store. I never quite made it to the "stand up" part of "stand up paddling", but my "sit up" paddle was just as fun and I made it all the way down the river.
With about an hour left before I had to meet the bus, I had a delicious burger and fries at Teddy's Bigger Burger and washed that all down with some shave ice from Matsumotos (lychee and strawberry YUM!). All in all, a great experience and wonderful way to see the best of the North Shore in a day :)

I participated in this during my honeymoon.
About five years ago, I fell in love with stargazing after seeing countless starry skies in Japan. I learned that the summit of Mauna Kea is known as "the closest place to space," and I had always wanted to go to the Big Island for my honeymoon.
During the drive to the Onizuka Visitor Center, the guide's stories were so interesting that I didn't sleep at all and kept laughing the whole time. I also learned a lot about the history of the Big Island and the animals that inhabit the mountain. Before I knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center and had an early dinner. The bento came with miso soup, and it was very delicious. I could feel the love in the guide's homemade miso soup.
After a break, we finally headed to the summit of Mauna Kea. From the car on the way up, I could already see the sea of clouds, and my excitement was building. I love starry skies, but I also love sunsets just as much, so it was thrilling for me to see the sea of clouds for the first time.
Upon arriving at the summit, I was greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea of clouds. The sun was setting, and the colors of the clouds were gradually changing; it was truly beautiful. The guide took many photos with our camera, so we ended up with lots of wonderful shots. Thank you!
After the sun set, we moved to the stargazing area. Unfortunately, the day of our visit was the day after the full moon, so the countless stars I had imagined were not as visible, and the sky wasn't as clear as I had hoped. I knew the moon would have an effect, but since this is the closest place to space, I had gotten my hopes up a bit too much. However, thanks to the moon, I was able to see a beautiful moon through the guide's telescope, and I was very happy to have captured it with my camera.
I was very satisfied to see the wonderful sea of clouds, sunset, moon, and starry sky. I would love to participate in a sunset or sunrise tour again someday to see the new moon's starry sky! Thank you!!!!!!!!
新婚旅行で参加しました。
5年程前に日本で無数の星空を見てから、天体観測にはまりました。
マウナケア山頂が「宇宙に最も近い場所」だと知り、新婚旅行でハワイ島へ行きたいとずっと思っていました。
オニヅカビジターセンターまでの行きの車内では、ガイドさんの話が面白くて、一睡もする事なく、ずっと笑っていました。
また、ハワイ島の歴史や山に生息する動物の説明など色々と勉強になりました。
気づいたら、オニヅカビジターセンターに着き、早めの夕食。お弁当はお味噌汁も付いていて、とても美味しかったです。
ガイドさんの手作りお味噌汁の愛情を感じました。
休憩後、いよいよマウナケア山頂へ。山頂へ行く車内から既に雲海が見え、テンションが上がっていました。
星空も好きですが、同じくらい夕日も好きなので、実際に雲海を見た事がなかった私にとって、とても興奮しました。
山頂到着後、見渡す限りの雲海。夕日が沈んでおり、雲海の色が徐々に変化していき、本当に綺麗でした。
ガイドさんが私達持参のカメラで何枚も写真を取ってくれたので、素敵なショットがいっぱい取れてました。ありがとうございます!
夕日も沈み、星空観賞エリアへ移動。ちょうど参加日が満月の次の日だったので、イメージしていた無数の星が散りばめられ、澄んだ星空ではなかったのが少し残念でした。月の影響があるのはわかってて参加したのですが、宇宙に最も近い場所なので、もう少し見えるかなぁと期待を膨らませ過ぎてしまいました。
ただ、月のお陰でガイドさんの天体望遠鏡から、とても綺麗な月を見る事ができ、月をレンズ越しに持参のカメラで撮って頂けた事がとても嬉しかったです。
素敵な雲海と夕日・月と星空を見れて、とても満足でした。
いつか新月の星空を見に、サンセットかサンライズツアーにまた参加したいです!
ありがとうございました!!!!!

The Pearl Harbor Heroes Adventure Tour brings a key pages from the 20th Century history to life. It is a excellent tour for people who have deep interest in history and those whose only brush with history is at the movies. The tour covers all the key points of interest at Pearl Harbor including the USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. Although it is a full day you will not have time to view all the sites in detail. One recommendation, tour the USS Bowfin before you venture in to the museum as you will not have time to do both. Overall this was money well spent and will probably do it again next time I visit Hawaii.

After finishing my errands in Maui, I returned to Honolulu for a day trip and was quite tired. However, there was already a bus waiting outside the baggage claim (by chance!?) so I was able to get on right away and return to my hotel, which was a great help. Unlike international flights, it seems there are fewer people boarding, so I think it's a good idea to use this option instead of waiting for a taxi.
マウイでの用事を終えて日帰りでホノルルへ帰ってきた為、かなり疲れていたのですが、バゲージクレーム外に既に(たまたま!?)バスが待機していたのですぐに乗ってホテルまで帰る事が出来て大変助かりました。国際線と違って乗車する人が少なそうなので、タクシー待ちするくらいならこちらでお願いするのはアリだと思います。

I had to take a flight to Maui at 8:30, so I requested a pickup. However, regardless of whether it was a domestic or international flight, the pickup was set for three hours prior. I was aware of this from the time of the arrangement, but I felt that with domestic flights, there tends to be quite a bit of time needed after arriving and completing security checks, so it was a bit uncertain whether taking a taxi would have been better. Especially since I only speak English, I thought it might be just as easy to use a taxi.
所用があり8:30の飛行機でマウイ島へ行く事になっていた為、こちらにお願いしたのですが、国内線・国際線問わず、3時間前のピックアップになっていました。それは手配の時からわかってはいたのですが、やはり国内線だと着いて保安検査を終えてからもかなりの時間が発生するので、タクシーにした方が良かったか微妙な感じでした。特に英語のみなので、それならタクシーを使っても一緒かな、と思いました。

The first thing he did was tell us about himself and he played football. That took 10 min. He went extensively into the history of the island but did not touch on some of the things that were current such as the Hawaiian housing we drove through, no gangs. He was very monotone. I know he said he had been doing this for 30 years but we paid over $600. and he was boring and not as informative as he could be

I have been to Oahu several times, but this was my first visit to the Big Island. Since I wanted to see a show while I was there, I researched online and in books, and it seemed that this luau show was the best option, so I signed up.
I read that if you want a seat closer to the front, it's better to line up early, so I arrived an hour in advance. By that time, there were already about five groups in line. However, it was worth arriving early as I was able to sit in a front row seat!
And finally, about the show…! The entrance scene was grand, coming from the sea! The music was played live throughout, which made it very enjoyable. The hula dance, which I was most looking forward to, was beautiful, but I felt there were too few dancers, as there were several gaps between the songs where no hula was performed, which was disappointing. I understand that it takes time for costume changes and preparations, but I wish there had been more dancers. However, the dance was lovely, and I would have been very satisfied if I could have seen more performances.
I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was more plentiful and delicious than I anticipated.
Overall, I would have been very satisfied if I could have seen more hula! But aside from that, the show by the seaside at sunset became a wonderful memory. Thank you!
オアフ島は何度か行ったことがありますが、ハワイ島は初めて行きました。せっかく行くならショーを見たいと思いネットや本で調べたところ、こちらのルアウショーが1番良さそうだったので申し込みました。
書き込みに、前の方の席が希望なら早めに並んだ方がいいとあったので1時間前から並びました。その時間ですでに5組ほど並んでる方がいました。が早めに行った甲斐あり前の方の席に座ることが出来ました!
そしていよいよショーはというと…!
登場シーンが海からというスケールが大きかったです!音楽はずっと生演奏で流れていたのでとても楽しめました。そして1番楽しみにしてたフラは躍りはとっても素敵だったのですが、ダンサーの人数が少なかったのか続けてずっとフラが見れるわけではなく曲と曲の間の空き時間が何回もあり、それが残念でした!着替え等の準備で時間がかかるのは仕方ないと思うのでもう少しダンサーの人数がいればなと思いました。でも躍りはとても素敵だったのでもっと曲数見れたら大満足だったなと思います。
お料理はあまり期待してなかったのですが、予想より品数も多く美味しかったです。
総合的にはフラがもっと見れたら大満足でした!でもそれを省けば、海辺で夕暮れ時からのショーはとてもいい想い出になりました。ありがとうございました!

I visited Kauai after going to Maui and Hawaii Island. My main purpose was to see Waimea Canyon. I participated in a tour thinking I could experience the same excitement I felt when I visited the Grand Canyon last September. It was unfortunate that I couldn't go to the Na Pali Coast due to time constraints. It was nice to leisurely explore Kauai by bus. Waimea Canyon was very beautiful and clearly visible since the weather was nice. The guide, an energetic lady who didn't seem to show her age, talked non-stop throughout the day, which I found impressive. I learned for the first time that there is Blue Mountain Coffee in Kauai, and I bought some immediately. The sample I tried was very delicious, so I'm looking forward to drinking it in Japan.
マウイ島、ハワイ島は行ったのでカウアイ島へ観光に行ってきました。一番の目的はワイメア渓谷を見る事。去年9月にグランドキャニオンへ行ったので、あの感激を味わえるかと思ってツアーに参加した。ナ・パリ・コーストは時間が無いので行く事は出来ないのが残念であった。のんびりカウアイ島をバスで巡る事が出来良かった。ワイメア渓谷は晴れて良く見えたので大変良かった。ガイドのおばさまは年を感じさせない元気な方で、1日中喋りまくっていたのは感心した。カウアイ島にブルーマウンテンコーヒーがあるのを始めて知り、即、買った。試飲したのは大変美味しかったので、日本で飲むのが楽しみである。

One of the reasons I decided to go to the Big Island was my desire to see the starry sky at Mauna Kea, so I was really looking forward to it. After participating, it was just as wonderful as I had hoped.
After being picked up at the hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center in a 12-passenger van. It was enjoyable to hear our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, talk about the plants and animals that inhabit the Big Island, and we even encountered wild sheep and cows.
Upon arriving at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we took a break with a bento box and miso soup. Although it was an early dinner before sunset, the bento was luxurious, like a catered meal, and I was very satisfied.
Since the van was full, it felt cramped after putting on the borrowed warm clothing. However, once we reached the summit, the temperature was lower than I had imagined, and the warm clothing was much appreciated.
The observatory and the sea of clouds illuminated by the sunset at the summit were breathtaking! The sunset disappearing into the sea of clouds was nothing short of magical. After it got dark, I was able to gaze up at the starry sky, and it was incredibly moving. I was blessed with good weather and timing, and the starry sky without the moon was overwhelming. In the distance, I could faintly see the red glow of the Kilauea crater… I was able to feel the grandeur of nature.
It became a truly wonderful memory. Thank you very much!
ハワイ島に行くことにしたきっかけの一つが「マウナケアで星空が見たい!」という思いだったため、とても楽しみにしていました。実際に参加してみて、期待通り素晴らしかったです。
ホテルでピックアップしてもらった後、12人乗りのバンでオニヅカビジターセンターに向かいました。ガイドの山本さんのハワイ島に生息する植物や動物のお話を聞きながら、実際に野生の羊や牛などに遭遇でき楽しかったです。
オニヅカビジターセンターに到着後、お弁当とお味噌汁で休憩。サンセット前ということでかなり早めの夕食でしたが、仕出し弁当のような豪華なお弁当で大満足でした。
バンは満席だったため、借りた防寒着を着て着ぶくれた後の車中は狭く感じました。ただ、山頂に上がってみると想像以上に気温は低く、防寒着はありがたかったです。
山頂で夕日に照らされる天文台や雲海は圧巻!
雲海に消えていく夕日は幻想的の一言に尽きます。
暗くなってからは、満天の星空を見上げることができて、とても感動しました。好天やタイミングに恵まれ、月がない星空の星明りに感無量。
遠くには、キラウェアの火口の赤い光もうっすら…!自然の壮大さを感じることができました。
大変いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました!

Since it was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii, I definitely wanted to see the sunset and the starry sky, so I found this tour and signed up immediately. During the drive, the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, and we arrived in no time. At the Onizuka Visitor Center, we enjoyed a bento box and miso soup. It was a bit disappointing that the miso soup was cold, but I was still happy to have it♪
As we headed to the summit, they provided us with warm clothing, including hats and gloves, so we could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky without feeling cold. The moment I got out of the car and saw so many stars that I had never seen before, I was truly moved! We took some photos, but the starry sky was so breathtaking that it couldn't be captured in pictures. I tried to imprint the view in my memory for as long as time allowed. I was so touched that I could have watched it forever!
On the Big Island, we visited various spots like Kilauea Volcano and Hapuna Beach, but the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea were the most impressive and became my favorite memory. So, if you go to the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this tour! It's truly amazing☆
初めてのハワイ島だったので、絶対にサンセットと星空は見たいと思っていたところ、このツアーを見つけて即申込みました。
行きの車の中ではガイドさんがハワイ島の色々な話をしてくれてあっという間に到着しました。オニヅカビジターセンターではお弁当とみそ汁をいただきました。みそ汁が冷めていたのが少し残念でしたが、みそ汁は嬉しかったです♪
山頂に向かい、防寒具も帽子や手袋まで貸していただけたので寒さを感じずにサンセットから星空を観賞できました。車から降りて今まで見たことのないたくさんの星を見た瞬間、本当に感動しました!写真も撮っていただきましたが、写真では伝わらないほどの星空で時間が許す限り星空を目に焼きつけました。時間があればずっと見ていたいくらい本当に感動しました!
ハワイ島ではキラウェア火山やハプナビーチと色々なスポットに行きましたが、マウナケアのサンセットと星空が何よりも感動し、一番の思い出になりました。なので、ハワイ島に行ったらぜひ参加してみてください!本当にオススメです☆

The guidance from the airport was unclear, and I couldn't find the staff. I was at the baggage claim properly, but I ended up being left behind. When I communicated this to a staff member who spoke Japanese, I received a response that suggested it was my fault for not being able to find the pick-up staff.
They did manage to arrange a different bus for me, but it was very unpleasant.
On the way to the airport, I also arrived nearly 20 minutes late compared to the scheduled time, which was quite nerve-wracking.
空港からの案内がわかりづらく、係の人が見つけられなかった。こちらはきちんとバゲッジクレームにいたのに。そのため、置いていかれてしまい、日本語が話せる窓口の人にその旨を伝えた結果、「迎えのスタッフを見つけられなかった貴方達が悪い」というような返答をされた。
なんとか違うバスを手配してはもらったが、非常に不愉快だった。
空港へ向かう際も、予定の時刻よりも20分近く遅れて到着し、肝を冷やした。
Thank you very much for participating in our shuttle service. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
Upon confirming with the local operating company regarding your pickup, we learned that the driver arrived on time but was unable to meet you. While we received reports that other customers were picked up without issue, we deeply regret that despite your wait, you were unable to connect with the driver. This resulted in you having to move to the service desk, where the staff's response may have caused you discomfort, for which we sincerely apologize.
Additionally, we are truly sorry that on your departure day, the shuttle arrived 20 minutes late, causing you to wait with anxiety.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

Due to regulations, you can only see from a farther distance than expected. However, I was able to see the spouts and tails. It would be nice to have binoculars, but since they are small, if you lean in to look, you might lose sight of them.
I accidentally watched from the lower deck the whole time, but I think I would have seen more if I had gone to the top. Even if you can't see whales, it's a pleasant cruise where you can enjoy the view of Waikiki from the clear sea.
Actually, on the dinner cruise, I happened to see whales, and they were closer there. It's all about luck.
By the way, I opted for the breakfast option, but it might be fine without it. The contents were lettuce, tomato, sausage, scrambled eggs, orange, and pineapple.
規定があるので、思ったより遠くからしか見られません。
でも、潮吹きや尾が見えました。双眼鏡があるといいですが、小さいので、覗きこんでいると、見失ってしまいます。
うっかり下のデッキからずっとそのまま見てしまいましたが、一番上に上がったらもっと見えたと思います。
クジラが見えなくても、晴れた海からワイキキを眺められて気持ちいいクルーズです。
実はディナークルーズでも、偶然クジラが見られて、そちらの方がクジラは近かったです。運次第ですね。
なお、朝食付きにしましたが、なしでもいいかも。
内容は、レタス・トマト・ソーセージ・スクランブルエッグ・オレンジ・パイナップル、以上でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whales during both the whale watch cruise and the dinner cruise. Please do come back and join us again on our cruise. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Since my departure was after 1 PM and I wanted to spend as much time in Waikiki as possible, I inquired about a taxi, but I found out that the pickup would be three hours prior. So, I used Roberts. We made one pickup and headed to the airport; this time, there were three groups of five people, and I was the only Japanese. Once again, we arrived smoothly.
出発が13時すぎの個人手配チケットなので、少しでもワイキキにいたい!と思いタクシーも問い合わせましたが、やはり3時間前のピックアップになることが判り、ロバーツを利用。 1カ所ピックアップし空港へ、今回は3組5人で日本人は私のみ。 今回もスムーズに到着。

Thank you very much for participating in the stargazing tour with three generations. I hope that seeing the starry sky at such a young age will leave her with some memorable impressions. I would be delighted if I could guide her again when she grows up and sees the stars once more.
星空ツアーに3世代で参加して頂き、本当に感謝しております。やはり小さいうちにあの星空を見ることは、彼女にとってなにか少しでも心に残る思い出になれば幸いです。また彼女が大きくなり次に見た星空も、自分がご案内出来れば嬉しいです。
