Hawaii
Is a must for first time visitors. A wonderful way to learn some history. Activities are a lot of fun, we really enjoyed them.
It was a good trip, the Arizona Memorial was awe-inspiring, the USS Missouri tour informed me of things I didn't. Also since it was the anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty, they were sprucing it up. A little disappointed couldn't get out in Punchbowl or downtown, but time constraints may have played a part in that.
Overall it was excellent, our tour guide was well informed and easy to understand.
i throughly enjoyed not only the cruise itself but the entertainment and the food were fantastic.
My wife and I enjoyed the Hana picnic very much. Our tour guide's name was Buzz, and he had a wealth of knowledge about Maui and Hawaiian history. He also knew the curves in the road to Hana very well, seemingly by heart, which enabled my wife and I to enjoy the scenery without having to deal with the stress of driving. He also stopped at several points of interest, including waterfalls, a flower garden in the rain forest, and two black sand beaches. Again, for us, the day was excellent and we will probably go again with my wife's parents, who can also appreciate history and culture in addition to the sightseeing.
For the purposes of this review, I will say that we spent a great deal of time listening to Buzz talk about the islands because the weather prevented us from swimming at certain points. Again, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this part because we like to learn about knew things and places, but one of our fellow riders got bored at times, and she made sure everyone on
I just want to say the tour was fantastic and our guide/bus driver, Leo was the best. The man deserves a raise.
Keep up the good work!!!

We had a great time and really enjoyed the cruise.
just ok. wouldn't do it again. rent a car instead!
On time, friendly, engaging. Always worth a trip to see the Grotto.
Docent was knowledgable and patient and the tour was good. Descriptive plaques on key stations and hardware would be helpful to better understand how the ship operated.
I participated alone on August 25th. I was a bit anxious about the English guide, but even if you can't speak English, people who love nature can quickly bond. There were seven participants, and aside from me, everyone was from abroad, but we were considerate of each other and realized that communication is not just about words! I was worried because there were no previous reviews, but the hotel pick-up was on time, and even though I was waiting at a different location, they came to find me. It is required to wear long pants, but as long as you have pants that go down to just below the knee and socks, you'll be fine. You'll also wear rubber boots, so make sure to declare your shoe size in advance; even if it doesn't fit, there are extra shoes available, so you can wear something that fits you. They also prepare insect repellent spray, and the itinerary allows you to enjoy various trees and scenery, which is fantastic. Above all, the fact that "there are no snakes" is wonderful! The path to the waterfall makes you sweat just enough to feel good. The nuts and dried fruits provided are delicious. The waterfall isn't very big, but it's a secret view that only those who participate in this tour can see. What impressed me even more was the way back. As we descended carefully through the green bamboo, the sounds of different plants and animals compared to when we climbed up soothed my heart. It was truly eco-trekking. Since it's a tropical rainforest, it does rain, but the trees provide enough cover that the raincoat I brought was completely unnecessary. Other participants got their bottoms dirty, but in the end, we could wash off in a stream, so it's all good. The difficulty level is about climbing a mountain of around 200 meters. They adjust to our pace, so everyone should definitely participate!
８月25日に一人で参加しました。英語ガイドということで不安でしたが、英語がしゃべれなくても自然を愛する人たちはすぐにうちとけられます。参加者は７名で私以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、お互いを気遣いコミュニケーションは言葉だけではないと痛感しました！！書き込みが１件もなかったので不安でしたが、ホテルの送迎も時間どおりだし別の場所で待っていたのですがわざわざ探しに来てくれました。長ズボン着用となっていますが膝したくらいのズボンと靴下を用意すれば大丈夫です。また、長靴を履きますので足のサイズは事前に申告し、サイズがあわなくても余分な靴があるので自分にあうものを履けます。虫除けスプレーも準備してくれていますし、行程はさまざまな樹木や景色を楽しむことができて最高です。なにしろ、「蛇がいない」ことが素晴らしい！滝までの道はほどよく汗をかいて気持いいですよ。また用意されたナッツやドライフルーツがおいしい。滝は大きいものではないですが、このツアーに参加した人だけしか見ることができない秘密の景色です。あとさらに感動したのが、帰りの道です。グリーンバンブーの中を滑らないように降りていくのですが、登るときとは違う植物や動物たちの声が心をスーッとさせてくれます。本当にエコトレッキングでした。
熱帯雨林なので雨が降りますが、用意したレインコートも全く必要がないくらい木々が傘になります。他の参加者はずべってお尻が汚れたりしましたが、最後に小川に入ってきれいに洗えるので大丈夫ですよ。きつさは、２００メートルくらいの山に登る程度です。私たちのペースにあわせてくれますので、みなさんどんどん参加してみましょう。

Guide was knowledgable and patient. Particularly enjoyed description on Surrender Deck. Descriptive plaques on key stations and hardware would be helpful to better understand how the ship operated.
This was the first time I join this kind of activity. It was a great experience!!! The guide Kevin was very very professional and create a very nice atmosphere. The whole thing turn out so great and I will never forget the expereice of jumping in the river from the rope!!
Excellent weather, excellent guide make my day perfect and unforgettable!!
I definitely will join again if I have another chance.
Our tour guide was Cousin Fred.. He was excellent!! He was very knowledgable, humorious, and personable. We could not have had a better driver. The experience was wonderful. If we get to Hawaii again, I would definitely use Roberts again.

I had a great time!
The content of the luau show was all in English, and there were parts I understood and parts I didn't, but the atmosphere was fantastic and I had a great time.
The ratio of Japanese people was low. We sat at a long table, and the food was served buffet-style. The staff seemed to be considerate and seated us next to a Japanese couple. They mentioned that they had been to Hawaii many times, and thanks to them, we received helpful tips about convenient places near our accommodation.
Before entering the venue, they took our pictures, and during the meal, they asked, "How about purchasing?"
Regarding the photos, I had been searching for them for a while and felt that the reviews weren't very good, but when I saw the actual photos, they were beautifully taken, so I decided to purchase one as a keepsake.
The other guests, upon realizing we were on our honeymoon, were very friendly, and we were able to chat a little in English, which was enjoyable.
The dancing was powerful and interesting, and the food was delicious!
I think if you have language skills, you could enjoy it even more!
ルアウショーの内容は全て英語で、所々分かったり分からなかったりでしたが、雰囲気も抜群で楽しかったです。
日本人の比率は少ないです。長いテーブルに座って料理はバイキング形式でした。
スタッフの方が気を使ってくださったのか、日本人のご夫婦とお隣にしてくれました。ハワイは何度も来ているそうで、おかげさまで、宿泊先近辺の便利な所を教えてくださったりで、とても助かりました。
会場の方が、入場する前に写真を取ってくれて食事中に「購入はどうですか？」という感じで聞かれます。
この写真については、以前から検索していて前評判が良くなかったと感じたのですが、実物の写真を見たらきれいに撮れていたので、せっかくだから・・・ と記念に購入しました。
私達がハネムーンだと分かった周囲のお客さん達も、とてもフレンドリーで少しだけ英語でお話したりできて楽しかったです。
ダンスも迫力があって面白かったし、料理もおいしかったです！
語学力があれば、もっと楽しめると思います！

I thought there would be an option to watch a meal and dance, but there was a little lecture before the meal on hula dancing, palm leaf crafts, and body painting with ink. The chicken for the meal was very delicious.
食事とダンスを見るオプションだと思っていたのですが，食事の前にフラダンス・椰子の葉の細工・インクでのボディペイントなどちょっとしたレクチャーがありました。
食事はチキンはとてもおいしかったです。

The driver was funny and pointed out all the interesting sights and details. The tour itself was good. It was our first day on the island and a great chance to see things without getting lost. We took time later to visit some places again, but had the history (as presented by our driver) to help us understand it all. Thanks for a great tour!!
The cruise was very relaxing with the cool breeze on your face. It would even be better if you had hammock, but i do realize that maybe impossible.
Unique experience ... would like to more of the inards of the ship though.
My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform
WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr
The cruise was short but sufficient for the price. I recommend taking the 3:30 cruise and then going to the Smith Luau right beside the docks. Excellent site and entertainment and also worth the price.
The Arizona and Missouri Tour was a great exprience and we learned alot about our nations history.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Pearl Harbor and the city. Our bus driver was very personal--cousin Ted, so he called himself to us. He was very knowledgeable of the city and helpful.
The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.
The hike was WONDERFUL!!! The waterfalls were beautiful, and the pools we swam in were refreshing! Kristen Kelly was a very knowledgeble and fabulous guide. We'd do it again and again and again!
What made this trip enjoyable was the entertaining crew members!
Loved it! Dan was very knowledgable, been on this road twice, driving and this tour. the limo van is the only way to go. Food, sights, and guide phenominal. A nightmare to drive yourself, and too long of a trip for kids or people with little patience. Can not miss road to hana if you go to Maui.
Great lua, and the best food that I have had a a lua. The entertainment was outstanding.
This was an excellent tour and well worth the money! Our bus driver/tour guide was outstanding! Garfield was very knowledgeable with the sites and history of both the city tour as well as being our guide on the Uss Missouri. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii.
