Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Nice Tour

Reviewed by: Mark

If you don't have a car or don't want to drive this is a great way to see the sights. Comfortible transportation and the bus driver was very nice and informative. Long day for us, 11 hours, because we were picked up in Princeville, better if picked up from Lihue or Poipu. No lunch is provided however they stop at a golf course in Poipu to eat in their restaurant, so prepare for that additional expense. Was a little disappointed with Fern Grotto, we've seen much nicer areas in the botanical gardens. Boat ride was fun! Might be too long a day for young children and teenagers, for us it would have been better to drive ourselves.

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>

Satisfied with the starry sky. 星空に満足

Reviewed by: エッチン

Last year, I experienced the sunset and stargazing on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and I loved it so much that this year I decided to challenge myself with Haleakalā on Maui. I didn't have high expectations since Mauna Kea is much taller, but I was extremely satisfied.

I was picked up from the hotel and we started with a drive through the town of Lahaina. We took a short break at Krispy Kreme in Kahului (which also has a location in Osaka) while waiting for participants coming from a different direction. Just when I thought everyone had arrived, we learned there was one more pickup location. Unfortunately, we had a bit of trouble meeting up with that person, but we ended up connecting at the club. We had initially planned to go to the club ourselves, but we ran out of time, so it was lucky that the tour included a stop there.

On the way to Haleakalā, it started to rain, but trusting the guide's words that it would be clear at the top, we headed straight up. (In reality, we took breaks to acclimatize to the altitude, but we felt like we were on a direct path.)

When we reached the summit, there was still a bit of time before sunset, so we prepared while listening to the guide's explanations. The orange hues gradually intensified until the sun was finally hidden behind the clouds. At Mauna Kea, the sun set over Haleakalā, so I had imagined it sinking behind the mountain on Maui, but this was majestic in its own way and truly special.

After dinner, we did some stargazing. While learning the names of stars and constellations, we observed various celestial bodies, including Saturn, through three telescopes, and we even spotted artificial satellites and shooting stars. The clouds that had looked like a sea of clouds during sunset cleared up, revealing the city lights, but they weren't bright enough to obscure the stars, so we could enjoy them with the naked eye.

As for the sunset, it's hard to choose between Mauna Kea and Haleakalā, but for stargazing, Haleakalā is definitely superior. Perhaps it was because of the great location, but there were no other groups around, and we weren't disturbed by car headlights, allowing us to fully enjoy the celestial view. I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit Maui.

昨年、ハワイ島のマウナケア山でサンセットとスターゲイジングを体験して、非常に気に入り、今年はマウイ島のハレアカラ山にチャレンジしました。標高でいえばマウナケアのほうがずっと高いので、大きな期待はしていなかったのですが、大満足でした。
ホテルでピックアップしてもらって、とりあえずラハイナの街を車中見学。カフルイのクリスピードーナツ(大阪にもあるけど)で違う方面からくる参加者を待ちながら、小休憩。メンバーがそろったかと思いきや、もう1箇所でピックアップがあるとのこと。その人とは待ち合わせがうまくいかずクラで落ち合いました。クラも自分たちで行こうと思っていたのですが、時間がなく断念したところだったので、ツアーで寄れてラッキーでした。
ハレアカラへの途中で雨が降ってきたのですが、上に行けば晴れているという言葉を信じ、一路頂上へ。(実際には所々で高さに慣らすために休憩を取っていますが、気分は一路)
頂上に着いた時には、サンセットにはまだ時間が少しありましたが、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらスタンバイ。徐々にオレンジ色が強くなり、ついに太陽が雲に隠れてしまいました。マウナケアでは、ハレアカラのほうに日が沈んだので、マウイ島の山に沈むのを想像していたのですが、これはこれで荘厳な趣があってまた格別でした。
食事の後は、星空観測。星の名前や、星座の名前を教えてもらいながら、3台の天体望遠鏡で、土星をはじめいろいろな星を観測、人工衛星も流れ星も観測できました。サンセットの時には雲海のようにあった雲も取れ、街の明かりも見えてきましたが、星空が見えなくなるような強い光ではないので、肉眼でも十分楽しめました。
サンセットは、マウナケアもハレアカラも甲乙つけがたいけど、星空については、ハレアカラのほうがダントツにいいです。見た場所がよかったからか、他のグループはいなかったし、車のヘッドライトに邪魔されることもなく、思う存分天プラを楽しめました。次にマウイ島へ行った時にもぜひ参加したいと思っています。

We will be climbing up to 3,000 meters, so we will first take a break at Krispy Kreme. This is actually also to prevent altitude sickness. Going on an empty stomach affects your body's condition.

Additionally, since we have many female customers, we ensure to have sufficient restroom breaks. The guideline for the Claw Lodge is around 1,000 meters. Climbing Mauna Kea takes more than three hours, including breaks, but the fact that it rarely snows here makes it appealing as you can reach the summit in about an hour and a half. Also, please come to see the sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā!

3000メートルに登って行きますので、まずはクリスピーで一休みをしています。実はこれは高山病予防も兼ねています。空腹で行くのとでは体の調子が違って来るのです。
あと女性のお客様も多いのでおトイレ休憩は充分な回数を行く様にしています。クラロッジは1000メートルの目安です。マウナケアーは登るのに片道休憩を含めて3時間以上を費やしますが、こちらは雪がめったに降らないので、約一時間半で登れるのも魅力です。またハレアカラの夕日と星空を見に来てくださいね!

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: hisae

Last time, I signed up for the seaside tour, but this time I wanted to ride horses for a longer period, so I participated in the canyon tour. I was very satisfied with the long horseback riding. This canyon tour does not require helmets. There were exciting moments as the horses would eat grass, which was a bit nerve-wracking but fun. It mentions that the tour is in English only, but the guide provided simultaneous interpretation, so there were no issues at all. Besides horseback riding, they also took us to Mackey's Shrimp and Aoki Shave Ice. The tour guide, Nakama, has excellent service spirit. I plan to participate again in November, and I hope to have Nakama as my guide again!☆

前回はこちらの海辺ツアーを申し込んだのですが、もう少し乗馬を長時間したいと思い、今回の渓谷ツアーに参加しました。
長時間馬に乗れて大満足。こちらの渓谷ツアーは、ヘルメットなしです。
馬が草を食べたりしてしまうのでハラハラ楽しいハプニング。
英語のみと記載がありますが、ガイドさん?が同時通訳してくれるのでまったく問題ないです。乗馬以外にもマッキーズのシュリンプや、青木シェイブアイスのお店にも連れて行ってくださいました。添乗員のナカマさん、サービス精神が素晴らしいです。
11月もまた参加しようと思っているので、その際はまたナカマさんがいいです☆

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

More than Worth the Money

Reviewed by: Kelly Crain

I really enjoyed this. The staff were friendly, but not pushy. Nobody tried to sell me something else or tried to get me to upgrade to something else. The boat ride was pleasant, scenic, and informative. The grotto is pretty, but I think the benefit is the boat ride, music, and hula demonstrations. I would definitely do this again.

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: ぽわん

On the day of the event, we were blessed with beautiful weather, a blue sky, a sunset, and a sea of clouds... it was a continuous display of stunning scenery. The landscape illuminated by the supermoon was magical. The views of the moon's surface and Saturn through the telescope were perfect! Lying on the ground without any wind to watch the starry sky and shooting stars was pure bliss. However, the only downside was that the moon was too bright, making it hard to see the stars!! I couldn't see the Milky Way (tears). My dream of seeing the Milky Way and a star-filled night sky will have to wait until next time. Thank you for a wonderful time.

当日は天候に恵まれ、青空と夕日と雲海と・・・・美しい景色の連続でした。そしてスーパームーンに照らし出される幻想的な風景。望遠鏡の月面や土星もパーフェクト! 風もなく地面に寝転がって見る星空や流れ星は至福の時間そのもの。が、ただ一つの誤算は、月が明るすぎて星が少ない!! 天の川が見えなかった(涙) 憧れの天の川や星だらけの夜空は、次回まで持ち越しです。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

A pleasant horseback riding experience. きもちいい乗馬体験

Reviewed by: ノラ^^

Walking along the shaded area by the sea is comfortable, with a pleasant breeze and stunning views! I even saw a turtle.

Getting a helmet at the hut and being able to start riding just five minutes after a brief explanation is great; there's no waste of time. The two women accompanying the horseback riding were also very nice.

The restroom is dirty, so it's better not to use it.

As for plans other than horseback riding, they are the same as other places on the North Shore, so there are no significant pros or cons. The driver and guide kept explaining things so we wouldn't get bored, which made it enjoyable. No complaints at all!

海沿いの木陰を進むので、暑くない、風が気持ちよく景色も最高!!カメもいたよ。
小屋でヘルメットもらって、説明5分ですぐ乗馬できるのもいい、無駄がないです。乗馬に付き添ってくれる女性2名も感じがいいw
トイレは汚いので使用しない方がいいです。
乗馬以外のプランは、ほかのノースショアと同じですから、良し悪しはないです。運転手 兼 案内人さんがず~~~っと退屈しないように説明をしてくれていて楽しかったです。文句なしです!

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>

It was good. よかった

Reviewed by: ちぐさ姐さん

Since it was early in the morning, I was worried about whether they would come to pick us up properly, but it was fine. I took my 8-year-old and 5-year-old children with me. Even in July, it was really cold. The wind was strong, and the perceived temperature was below freezing. Long sleeves, long pants, a large windbreaker blanket, and earmuffs would be best. After that, when we were at the volcanic crater or the summit, it was sunny, so the blanket was unnecessary. I think the children will never forget this experience. It is also possible to view the sunrise from inside the building.

朝早いので←2時半
ちゃんと迎えにくるか心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。8歳と5歳のこども連れていきました。

That's unfortunate. 残念です

Reviewed by: カズくん

I have no complaints about the tour itself, but due to the weather, I couldn't see anything at all. Moreover, it seems that the sunset and starry sky were clearly visible the day before and the day after (today), so it was the worst timing possible.

I was told that it’s rare not to see anything during this season, so I never expected something like this to happen.

The tour guides worked hard, and I appreciate that, but since I didn’t see anything, I can’t really evaluate it fairly. I deeply regret that I couldn’t fulfill my main purpose for this trip to Hawaii, which was stargazing.

It feels unbelievable that such rare weather occurred, and that it happened to be on a day when I couldn’t see anything after months of waiting.

The chances of a comeback are low, but I really, really want to see a sky full of stars. Thank you.

ツアー自体になんの不満もないのですが、天候のせいで全く何も見れませんでした。
しかも前の日と次の日(今日)はしっかりと夕日と星空が見えているようなので、最悪なタイミングだったようです。

この時期にはほとんど見れない事はないとのことだったので、まさかこんな事になるとは思ってもみませんでした。

ツアーの方々はいろいろ頑張ってくれたのでその点は満足しております、ただ、何も見ていないので、評価しようがなくて普通にしています。今回の渡ハの1番の目的だった星空観測が全くできなかった事が悔やまれて仕方ないです。

運が悪かったと言うにはあまりにも稀な天候とここ何ヶ月でピンポイントでその日が見れないという事態が未だに信じれない気持ちです。

リベンジできる可能性は低いですが是非、是非、満天の星空が見てみたいものです。

Experiential luau. 体験型ルアウ。

Reviewed by: Saeko

It's not just about watching the show and eating Hawaiian food at the buffet; activities before the show and meal, such as hula, poi ball, lei making, and tattoos, are also enjoyable. It feels like you can experience Hawaiian culture with all your senses. However, everything is in English (and spoken very quickly), and there are very few Japanese guests. If you want to fully enjoy the luau, I, with my middle school level English skills, struggled to keep up. Ah, I wish I had better English skills!

ショーを観て、ビュッフェでハワイアンフードを食べて〜というだけではなく、フラ、ポイボール、レイメイキング、タトゥー等々、ショーや食事の前のアクティビティーが楽しい。ハワイの文化を五感で体験できるといった感じ。ただやはり全て英語(しかも超早口)、日本人のお客さんもとても少ない。ルアウをフルに楽しもうと思ったら、英語力中学生レベルの私は、ついて行くのに精一杯でした。あぁぁ英語力が欲しい!

For those climbing 3,000 meters for the first time, I understand there may be many concerns, but please rest assured that you can take your time and go through all the processes by car. A light break at the donut shop at the beginning will also help prevent altitude sickness if you have a little something in your stomach. And please come back to see the stars at Haleakalā, one of the world's premier star observation locations!

やはり3000メートルに初めて登られる方は心配な事も沢山あると思いますが、ゆっくりと休み休みながら車で全ての工程に行けますのでご安心ください。

It had rained heavy the night before and still a little rainy when we started out which made the adventure even more fun in the mud. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next week and did their 'Teryx and BBQ tour' with James, which was completely different from the waterfall tour. We saw other parts of the ranch plus the food was great. This tour is only on Wednesdays for no more than 6 Teryx and not advertised. On our second tour the roads were dry and DUSTY. It was still fun but you will get dirty. If You only had time for one tour, I recommend the waterfall tour. It's a 4 hour tour (the BBQ tour is only 3 hours) because you will see more parts of the ranch and will get to swim under a waterfall towards the end of your adventure.

Reviewed by: 新婚旅行

I couldn't find the check-in location, and before I knew it, there was a pretty long line for check-in. Even with a reservation, you need to line up early to get good seats, so be careful.

チェックイン場所が分からず、気づいたらチェックインのためのかなり長い列ができていた。予約していても早くから並んでいないと良い席は取れず注意が必要。

Dear Newlyweds,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the difficulty in finding the check-in location. The Luau Desk is located in the center of the hotel, so if you mention "Luau Show" at either the hotel front desk or the information desk, they will be able to assist you. We have also decided to create a guide map for our Japanese website based on your valuable feedback.

We truly hope you enjoyed the show. Please do visit us again. Thank you for your feedback.

新婚旅行様
チェックイン場所が大変分かりにくくご迷惑をおかけしましたことを深くお詫び申し上げます。

ご案内ができるように、また貴重なご意見として日本語HPに案内地図をお作りすることにいたしました。
ショーはご満足いただけましたことを心から祈るばかりです。
また是非お越しくださいませ。ご意見をいただきありがとうございました。

Maui Haleakala Crater Hiking Adventure for Advanced Hikers with Deli Lunch

Excellent cardio. Great views of the valley & cinder cones.

Reviewed by: JamesD

Truly enjoyed our hike into and back out of the valley. Trails are very well maintained and grade is not too steep. We were forewarned that there would not be much vegetation, and they were absolutely correct. Great views of the mountain and volcanic cinder cones. Bonus for us was rare view of silversword starting to bloom.

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

Horseback riding was fun! 乗馬は楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: Rui

I had a great time riding horses for the first time! Everyone at the riding club was very kind, and I would love to participate again. However, it mentioned exploring the North Shore, but in reality, we only went to one recommended garlic shrimp restaurant by the guide. Perhaps because it was the same as the valley tour, we had quite a bit of free time during the seaside tour. We went to the beach, but there was nothing to do, and in the end, I was surprised to be kept waiting at Turtle Bay Hotel... I would have preferred to have some free time on the North Shore instead. Also, we were told that we couldn't carry our bags while riding and couldn't leave them on the bus, which left everyone in a difficult situation. I wish this had been mentioned.

はじめての乗馬でとても楽しかったです!!乗馬クラブの方はみな親切でまた参加したいと思いました。しかし、ノースショアの散策とありましたが実際にはガイドさんがおすすめのガーリックシュリンプのお店一軒行ったのみでした。渓谷の方と同じだからか時間調整のために海辺ツアーのわたしたちはかなり時間を持て余しました。海によったりしましたが何もない状況で海にいってもすることもなく、最終的にはタートルベイホテルでまたされてびっくりしました…それならノースショアで自由行動させてもらったりしたかったです。また乗馬では荷物を持てないしバスにも置けないと言われて全員困っていました。記載して欲しかったです。

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

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: まちこ

I participated alone, but the guide, Mr. Konno, took great care of me, so I was able to have a wonderful time. The sunset was worth the money I paid to see it. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and I was able to see artificial satellites and shooting stars, along with explanations about the stars, making it a lovely day.
It's truly amazing that we can drive to an altitude of over 4,000 meters.

一人で参加しましたが、ガイドのコンノさんがとてもケアしてくれたので楽しく過ごすことができました。サンセットもお金を払ってみる価値がありました。星空もとてもきれいで人工衛星や流れ星もみることができ、星の説明もあり素敵な一日となりました。
車で標高4000メーター以上にいけるのは、改めてすごいなぁ~と思います。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the many stars.
On the Big Island, even a slight increase in elevation or just going to the opposite side of the island can change the scenery quite a bit, and I believe that the area around 4000 meters was a different world altogether.
If you have another opportunity, please consider using our tours again.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.

先日はツアーのご参加誠にありがとうございました。
沢山の星、お楽しみ頂けた様で大変うれしく思っております。
ハワイ島は少し標高が上がったり、島の反対側に行くだけでも
景色が随分変わってきますが、標高4000m付近もまた別世界だったことと思います。
また機会がございましたら、是非弊社のツアーをご利用くださいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しております。

Waikiki Shuttle to Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & City Tour - Roberts Hawaii

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Kathybee

This tour did not disappoint! My folks used to live in Mililani Town so I have been to Oahu many times. I didn't really think I could learn more than I already knew but I was wrong. Our driver/guide was phenomenal - I wish I could remember his name - and he was on the mic literally the entire time. He was funny and engaging, and shared island/culture stories and hilarious anecdotes. He answered the same boring questions I'm sure he's been asked a million times as though he was being asked for the first time. He spoke not only about the obvious "touristy" stuff, but shared "local" tidbits as well.

Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial...haunting and beautiful. This was my 8th visit the Memorial and I learn something new each time. A very noticeable change is how quiet the Memorial itself is. During previous visits I was sad to hear the disrespectful chatter and laughter by some tourists. The staff does an excellent job of reminding everyone of respectful behavior and I could definitely hear the difference. The Visitor's Center has changed quite a bit since my last visit and many new exhibits/experiences have been added. I recommend it highly, even if you've been before.

A side note about courtesy and consideration. There is always one family/group who doesn't seem to care if they keep others waiting and we certainly had one on this tour. If you are directed to be back to the bus at a certain time, please plan accordingly. Nothing sours the mood faster than being made to wait more than 25 minutes for people we had seen in the gift shop on our way to the bus.

The journey back to Waikiki was just as lively and informative as the morning trip. I can't express enough what a pleasure our driver/guide was. He made the tour for us!
