Kauai Movie Sightseeing Tour - Roberts Hawaii

Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Kauai Visitors

The reason I rated this tour "Good" is because my husband thinks it was great, and I think it was so-so. Maybe, it's because I don't watch TV often enough and have no idea about movies mentioned on the tour. Unfortunately, we did not stop in the area, where they filmed those few movies I actually watched and liked, so it was a big disappointment for me.

I would not recommend this tour if TV shows or movies are not your passion.

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Lots of fun! Teens enjoyed show.

Reviewed by: First Time in Hawaii

Wasn't sure how we would like this since we don't normally like touristy things, but we really enjoyed the show. Food was good and I would recommend paying the premium upgrade amount as it helped us skip the line and then sit up front to watch the show. My son who just turned 14 really liked the activities and the show -- he even tried poi. My daughter who is 18 enjoyed the show -- especially the fire dance. Overall, the hosts and staff were very nice and accommodating. The performers were wonderful and even funny at times. I would highly recommend this event if you have never been to a Luau.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Beautiful views from the boat, areas on boat need work

Reviewed by: Amber

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

A must see

Reviewed by: Phil

Passport includes all four museums at Pearl Harbor, but you must still get there early to pick up your Arizona tour tickets. I got in line at 7am, and had no problems. It was important for us to stop and learn more in detail about the events in Dec 1941, while paying respect to those who lived and fought in WWII. USS Missouri was quite a sight as well as you get to see a lot of the ship on your tour.

What is this! なんじゃ、これ!

Reviewed by: リチャード

The moment I looked up at the night sky, words escaped my mouth. I was moved by the grandeur of seeing a planetarium in the natural sky compared to the city. The constellation explanations with the pointer were appreciated, and the professional photography was wonderful. There was one case of altitude sickness and one person who got car sick among the tour participants, but it wasn't serious, and the entire tour was an exciting night.

夜空を見上げた瞬間に思わず口から出た言葉です。都会で見るプラネタリウムを自然の天空でみる壮大さに感激しました。ポインターによる星座解説も有難かったしプロならではの写真撮影も素敵です。ツアー参加者から高山病1名と車酔い1名出ましたが深刻ではなくツアー全体が大興奮の一夜でした。

Very satisfied: Thank you for the wonderful guide. 大満足: すばらしい ガイドさん、有難うございました。

Reviewed by: たのしんぼ

I had the best memories of any tour I've experienced so far. Of course, it's thanks to our guide. I'm really glad I chose this Haleakalā tour with Maui All Stars. They took great care of us. To prevent altitude sickness, they made sure to take breaks while enjoying the journey to the summit, and I didn't experience any of the health issues I had feared. I truly enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. I want my husband to experience this wonderful feeling as well. Someday, I definitely want to share this view with him and enjoy the moment together. Of course, with Maui All Stars...

今まで、経験したツアーの中で最高の思い出ができました。もちろん、ガイドさんのおかげもあります。「このハレアカラのツアーがマウイオールスターズ」で良かった。本当によくして頂きました。高山病を防ぐために数回に分けて楽しみながら休憩を入れて山頂へ連れて行ってくださり、恐れていた体調不良も無く、心から楽しめました。この素晴らしい感動を主人にもしてもらいたい。また、いつか必ずこの景色を夫と感動を分かち合いながら眺めたいと思います。もちろん、マウイオールスターズで・・・

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for spending such a long time with us. Even if you go by car, it's 3,000 meters, so taking it easy is the best way to go. If you start running at the summit, it can be quite challenging. Everyone always ends up in a "Love Wagon" state (laughs) and gets along well, so we will continue to aim for enjoyable tours in the future.

こちらこそ長い時間お付き合い頂き感謝です。車で行くにしても3000メートルですから、のんびり行くのが一番ですよね~。山頂で走ったりしたら大変な所なのです。
いつも皆さん最後は 「あいのり」状態(笑)で仲良くなっていて、これからも楽しめるツァーを目指していきますね。

My friend and I decided to check this out as we were looking for something to do for the night. I have been to many Luau's before so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I turned out to be very wrong. the Chief was extremely funny throughout the whole night and he was also very interactive with the crowd. They had some fun activities before the Luau as well so that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night with great people! Hands down the best Luau I have done.

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

One day Pearl Harbor Pass

Reviewed by: Terri

First, Veltra was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I had to change the date of my excursion 3 times due to conflict involving the homecoming of a Navy vessel my son serves on. Once the date was locked in and we were able to visit the site it was a flawless experience. Ticket processing was easy and the museums were amazing. I will book through Veltra again. During summer just remember to arrive early to get the USS Arizona Memirial tickets since they do run out. It is a lot to accomplish in one day. We started at 7:45 and ended around 4:00pm.

There was a 20 minute boat ride to the fern grotto landing, time to take pictures, presentation of a Hawaiian Wedding song, complete with hula interruption and demonstration of various hula dances on the boat ride back.

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

I appreciate the spirit. 心意気が嬉しい

Reviewed by: 北の縄文人

The weather on this day was not great, and the visitor center was shrouded in clouds. I felt a bit anxious as everything was completely white, but thanks to my wife's handmade teru teru bozu, perhaps? The summit was beautifully clear! There were clouds at high altitudes, so we were able to witness an emotional sunset with a sea of clouds nearby.

The very enjoyable guide eased my worries about whether we would be able to observe the starry sky. What moved me unexpectedly was the conversation among the guides. Since the weather was bad that day, they were discussing how to provide information to ensure that the people on the tour at the mid-mountain could observe the starry sky in the best possible way. I was touched by the words, "We absolutely cannot afford to fail." Although the bad weather was not the guides' responsibility, many visitors to the Big Island may only come once in a lifetime. I was happy to feel that they were sincerely considering the unspoken hopes of the tourists and were searching for points where we could definitely see the stars.

Even though they must have seen this scenery many times, their excitement and emotional reactions were beyond that of the tourists, which helped to loosen and release my own heart, which often struggles to express emotions in daily life. Their spirit of genuinely wanting to create enjoyable memories and the guides' heartfelt enjoyment and excitement allowed us to truly feel and enjoy the experience as well.

The stunning starry sky could be captured by digital cameras, and if you ask the guide, they will adjust the settings for you. My camera couldn't take pictures of the starry sky, but the guide chose the best spots for photography that day. The photos taken can be downloaded for free, which is very appreciated. If you wish, they can also take a picture of your zodiac sign. With so many stars, it can be difficult to find it on your own, but with a professional's skill, it's perfect!

On the way back, we stopped at the visitor center for a restroom break, and it was completely clear, allowing us to see another magnificent starry sky.

The miso soup was delicious, and if I ever have the chance to visit the Big Island again, I would like to participate in a tour with Masashi Nature School.

この日は天候がいまひとつで、ビジターセンターは雲の中。
どこまで行っても真っ白で不安もありましたが、奥さんお手製のテルテル坊主の御蔭か?
山頂は見事な晴れ!高い位置まで雲があったので、雲海も近く感動的なサンセットが見られました。

とても楽しいガイドに、星空観測できるのだろうか?という不安を消し飛ばしてくれます。なにげに感動したのは、ガイドさんどうしの会話です。
この日は天候が悪かったので、中腹で星空をみるツアーの人達もベストな形で星空観測できる様、情報提供しながら話し合っている様子。そこでの「絶対に失敗は許されないから~」という言葉。
悪天気はガイドさん達の責任ではないものの、一生に一度しか来られないであろう人が多いハワイ島。その声に出さない観光客の思いをしっかり受けて、確実に星空が見られるポイントを探してくれている気持ちが、嬉しかったです。

何度も見ているであろうこの景色も、観光客以上のテンションで感動する姿は、日常生活で固まって上手く感動を表現できない心をほぐし、解き放つきっかけとなりました。
本当に楽しい思いで作りをサポートしようという心意気と、心から自分も感動し楽しんでいるガイドさんの心を受け、私達も心から感動し楽しむ事が出来ました。

感動的な星空は、カメラによってデジカメでも写せるものがあり、ガイドさんにお願いすると調整してくれます。
私のカメラは星空の写真は撮れませんでしたが、ガイドさんがその日の最高の場所を選んで撮影してくれます。撮って頂いた写真は無料でダウンロードできるのでとても有り難いです。
希望すると自分の星座も撮ってくれます。あまりの☆の多さに自分ではうまく探す事さえも困難ですが、プロの腕にかかればバッチリです♪

帰りのトイレ休憩で立ちよったビジターセンターもすっかり晴れ、ここでもまた見事な星空が見られました。

味噌汁もおいしかったし、万が一にもまたハワイ島を訪れるチャンスがあれば、マサシネイチャースクールのツアーに参加したいと思います。

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Very Full & Informative Day

Reviewed by: Anonymous

The passport is a fantastic way to see all of Pearl Harbor! Be prepared for a full-day, and definitely get there as early as you can. I was unable to secure a ticket to the USS Arizona online, so I arrived around 8:15 and got a ticket for 9:30, but the limited tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial were sold out by 11am, so get there early (especially in the summer)!

Since you cannot bring anything with you (other than what fits in your pockets) make sure to have some money for drinks and snacks and don't forget your camera! I'm not a huge WWII history buff, but it was a truly fascinating and moving experience being aboard the gleaming white memorial.

The USS Bowfin and Missouri are amazing if you have never been on a submarine or battleship before, and the Pacific Aviation Museum is excellent as well. This is definitely something I would recommend to any and all, just make sure to eat a good breakfast and wear comfortable shoes!

A must-try experience! 一度は体験すべし!

Reviewed by: Kato

I had a wonderful experience. Moreover, they mentioned a campaign where you can download photos from their website, so when I checked after returning home, I found stunning pictures of the starry sky. I couldn't have captured that with my own camera. I was really happy. The discussion about the stars was very informative and educational. Since the altitude is high, some people felt unwell, but I think it's a view everyone should see at least once in their lifetime!

とてもいい体験をしました。しかもHPから写真をDL出来るキャンペーンみたいなものをやっていると行っていたので帰ってから見てみたら、ばっちり星空が撮されていました。自分のデジカメでは無理ですからね。嬉しかったです。星の話はとても詳しく勉強になりました。標高が高いので体調が悪くなった方もみえましたが、人生で一度は見ておきたい景色だと思います!

I truly enjoyed the birdwatching trip. Our guide, Mark, was fantastic -- he educated us on the birds we would hopefully see and was helpful with questions about other wildlife in the area. I also enjoyed meeting the rest of the group on the tour -- wish I would have thought to exchange contact information to get some of the photos one couple was taking during the trip.
