Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Shayna

I have always had great respect and admirsation for the men and women of our armed forces, but attending the tour of Pearl Harbor increased that exponentially. I had tears in my eyes at the USS Arizona Memorial. The aren't words to describe the experience of learning what happening to all of those men on December 7, 1941. After we left the memorial we went on the Circle Island tour. As a first time visitor to Hawaii, I was in awe of the beauty this island possesses. The staff on the tour was great! Kanoelani and Ken were amazing, insightful, friendly, and very informative. They made a GREAT tour spectactular!!!

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

Wonderful! 素晴らしい!

Reviewed by: おおつか

This was my first time participating and I went alone. Before going, I was a bit anxious about attending by myself, but the guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was very entertaining, and the tour was fantastic! On the day of the tour, the rainbow was stunning, and since the stargazing was conducted at a location conveniently close to the summit, there were no clouds obscuring the stars at all. Mr. Yamamoto's knowledge about Hawaii is incredible! (By the way, he mentioned that people observing at the Onitsuka Center that day couldn't see well due to the clouds.) The sunset at the summit was different from other tours, as they provided us with warm clothing, gloves, and knit hats, which made me very satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to join this tour with friends and family.

初参加で一人参加でした。
行く前は1人で参加する事に少々不安でしたが、ガイドをしていただいた山本さんがとても面白く、ツアーは最高でした!
当日は虹が最高に見え天体観測もこちらのツアーだけは頂上に程よく近い場所で行った為に、雲で星が隠れるような事は一切無かったです。
しかし山本さんのハワイに関する知識はすごい!!
(ちなみにこの日オニツカセンターで観測された人は雲で良く見えなかったとしきりにおっしゃっていました。)
頂上でのサンセットは、他のツアーと違い、上下の防寒具や手袋・ニット帽まで貸し出ししていただいたので、大変満足です。
今度は友達や家族と是非このツアーに参加したいです。

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Excellent way to see Oahu!

Reviewed by: Val

This was the best way for a first-timer to the island to visit all the high notes of the island. Our tour guide Garfield was great -- knowledgeable, courteous, and amusing. My boyfriend and I had driven around the island by ourselves the day before and it was nice to get the information on the places we had stopped at and seen, but didn't know about.

I would recommend this tour to anyone vacationing on Oahu for the first time.

I finally went to the stargazing event I had wanted to attend for a long time. It was absolutely wonderful!! The night sky was cold, but it felt like I was watching a planetarium show. The stars in Hawaii are beautiful, but the view from the mountaintop is something else entirely. I'm really glad I participated.

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

February is said to be the best season for whale watching, but on the day I boarded, I was only able to catch a glimpse of them from a distance a few times, which was a bit disappointing. The cruise itself had a sense of openness and a nice atmosphere. I was also relieved that I didn't experience any seasickness and was able to relax during the trip.

2月は鯨のベストシーズンとのことでしたが、乗船した日は数回、遠目でようやく確認する位でしか見れなかったのがちょっと残念でした。
クルーズ自体は開放感があり、雰囲気もよかったです。

I saw a whale! くじらみえた!

Reviewed by: ゆずぽん

On the day of the reservation, there was a tsunami warning in Honolulu due to an earthquake in Chile. Transportation in the city was halted in preparation for the tsunami. I called the staff and was able to reschedule for the next day. I was relieved that there were staff members who spoke Japanese.

As for the whales, I was glad to see several of them. The kids were very excited, and I was satisfied with that. However, the lunch package was a bit chaotic; with the announcement of "There are whales!" everyone was too distracted to enjoy the meal, so it might be better to go without lunch.

予約当日、チリの地震の影響でホノルルは津波警報。市内は津波に備え交通もストップ。スタッフに電話して翌日に振り替えてもらいました。日本語OKなスタッフで安心しました。
肝心のクジラですが、数頭見ることができてよかったです。子供も大興奮、これには満足です。ただしランチ付きのコースは「クジラがいた!」とのアナウンスで食事そっちのけで右へ左へで落ち着かないのでランチなしがいいかも…。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

The first day is recommended. 初日がお薦め

Reviewed by: ハートヒーリング

Even someone like me, who isn't very good at English conversation, was able to enjoy it fully. I recommend arriving a little early and lining up in front of the entrance, as you can get a good spot closer to the front. The food is also plentiful. Towards the end, the sea breeze can feel quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. I think couples should not be shy and dance together. On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, you might feel sleepy at first, but your energy will quickly rise, so I recommend seeing it in the first half.

あまり英会話が出来ない私でも、充分楽しむことが出来ました。少し早めに行き、入口前で並ぶと、結構、前の方で見れるのでお薦めいたします。料理も充実しています。最後の方は、海風が冷たく感じてくるので、上着を持参するといいですよ。ぜひカップルの方は恥ずかしがらずに、一緒踊るといいと思いますよ。ハワイ島着いた初日の夜は眠いかと思いまずか、一気にテンション上がるから、前半に見る事をお薦め致します。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

Just 5 minutes after departure. 出航から、わずか5分

Reviewed by: ちい

Shortly after setting sail,
"Wait? Were they already here?"
Right next to the boat, there were three dolphins and two whales.
There was no time to eat snacks.

I wonder if the whales in Hawaii are not very cautious?
They didn't seem to leave the side of the boat, and for a while, they were waving their fins,
as if they were waving at us...

During the two-hour cruise, we encountered whales quite frequently.
It's said that once they dive, they can hold their breath for about 20 minutes.
We spotted them spouting water and moved quickly towards them.
We kept approaching and stopping the engine repeatedly...
That day, perhaps because we encountered so many whales,
by the end, everyone seemed to be getting a bit bored.
Those who participated the day before said they only saw one whale from a distance.

The weather was nice that day, and I think we were lucky,
but I’m really glad I got to see so many whales on this boat.

Personally, I was out on the deck so much that I got sunburned,
and before I knew it, I had taken over 100 pictures with my digital camera.
Chasing after the whales was such a fun time!

The view of the Big Island from the sea was also wonderful.

出航してまもなく
「えっ?もういたの?」
船のすぐ側に、いるかが3頭。くじらが2頭。
スナックフードを食べている暇もありません。

ハワイの鯨は警戒心が無いのかな?
船の側を離れる様子も無く、しばらくムナビレを振ったりして
その様子は、まるで手を振ってくれているかのよう・・・

その後も、2時間のクルーズの間、かなりの確率で
鯨に遭遇。
一度、海に沈むと20分は息が続くと言われる鯨さん。
潮を吹いているのを見つけては、高速で移動。
近づいては、エンジンを止めての繰り返し・・・
この日は、あまりにも、鯨に遭遇したせいか
最後の方には、皆さん、飽きてきたかも。
前日に、参加した方々は1回だけ遠くに観たそうです。

この日は、お天気もよく、きっと運も良かったのだとは
思いますが、たくさんの鯨に出会えて
この船に乗ってよかったです。

個人的には、日焼けするくらい甲板に出ずっぱりで
デジカメ画像は、気が付いたら100枚を越えていました。
夢中で鯨を追いかけた時間、楽しかったです!

海から見る、ハワイ島の風景も素敵でした。

I couldn't forget the beauty of the stars I saw on Maui, so I participated in hopes of seeing them on the Big Island as well... However, while the weather was nice, it turns out that seeing a sky full of stars depends on more than just the weather. That was disappointing. The sunset was beautiful.

Whale watching ホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: olymas

On the day, the wind was strong and there were splashes from the waves, making it difficult to see the whales' spouts clearly. However, there were many activities on the boat, such as lei-making and hula lessons, which kept the children entertained, and we had a great time. My child continued to practice the hula we learned even after returning to Japan.

当日は風が強く、波しぶきが立っていたので鯨の潮吹きがわかりにくく、あまり良く見えなかったのですが、船内でのレイの作成やフラレッスンなど、子供が飽きない催しも多く、大変楽しめました。
子供は日本に帰ってからも教えていただいたフラを家でやっていました。

If you're going to the Big Island of Hawaii, Mauna Kea is a must-visit. ハワイ島に行くならマウナケアは必修

Reviewed by: パパ

If you're going to the Big Island, I definitely recommend visiting Mauna Kea. While Kilauea and the lava are impressive, the experience of watching the sunset and stargazing from the summit of Mauna Kea is truly moving. Seeing the sunset sink into the sea of clouds gives you chills. You can even see the shadow of the Earth. During stargazing, you can see an incredible number of stars like never before. They explain about artificial satellites, shooting stars, and your own constellations. If possible, it's good to check the moon phase before you go. It seems that a full moon can reduce visibility. You can find out the moon phase here: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/qpon/b/java103.htm. The bento from Masashi Nature School is just as good as other companies' bento, and they even include miso soup. Also, they are the only ones that provide warm clothing all the way down to pants. Other people looked cold. I definitely want to participate again next time.

ハワイ島に行かれる方、必ずマウナケアまで行かれたほうがいいと思いますよ。キラウエアや溶岩もすごいですが、感動といったらマウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測です。あの雲海に沈む夕日を見ると感動で震えが出てきます。地球の影も見えました。星空観測も今まで見たこともないような数の星を見ることができます。人工衛星や流れ星、自分の星座といろいろ説明してくれます。できれば月齢を調べていくといいですよ。満月だと半減するそうです。月齢は(半角で打ってください) http://www.ne.jp/asahi/qpon/b/java103.htm でわかります。マサシネイチャースクールのお弁当はほかの会社のお弁当と比べてもみそ汁もありまけてません。また防寒着もズボンまであるのはここだけでした。ほかのところの人たちは寒そうでした。また、次回も参加したいと思います。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was a large ship... so I felt a bit anxious, but my intuition was right.

I recommend it for those who get seasick or are going whale watching for the first time! Since it's a large ship, you can relax and enjoy your time on board.

However, for those who just want to see whales, a slightly smaller boat might be better.

It's great for those who want to enjoy meals and hula lessons!

As for me... I don't get seasick, so I found it a bit lacking...

大きな船・・・。というので、ちょっと不安がありましたが・・・。予感的中でした。

船に酔う方や、初めてホエールウォッチングをされる方には、オススメですよ!!大きな船ですので、船の上でゆっくりとすごせます。

が、鯨を見たいだけの方には、もう少し小さい船のほうがよいかな~とおもいます。

食事やフラレッスンなどを楽しみたい方にはオススメですね!!

I was able to see a lot, even from a distance. 遠くだけど沢山見れました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a friend on February 4th. I had heard that whales can only be seen in the winter, so I thought it was a great opportunity and signed up. According to the captain, they have been able to see them almost every day recently, so we were looking forward to the trip. Both my friend and I are prone to seasickness, so we brought medication from Japan. There were courses that included meals, but anticipating that eating might make us feel sick, we deliberately chose the most economical option without meals; however, drinks were included, so it turned out to be a good choice.

As for the whales, unfortunately, we didn't see any jumping up close, but during the two-and-a-half-hour cruise, we were able to see their backs several times as they spouted water and dove, which was very moving. The view of Waikiki from the boat was also beautiful. However, it was much windier on the boat than expected, and it was very cold, so I definitely recommend bringing a long-sleeved hoodie that blocks the wind. Even so, when it got too cold, it felt nice to go up to the upper deck where the sun was warm.

2月4日に友達と2人で参加しました。クジラは冬の時期しか見られないと聞いていたので、良いチャンスだと思い申し込みました。船長さんの話では最近はほぼ毎日見る事が出来るという事でしたので、楽しみにして出発しました。私も友人もとても船酔いしやすい体質なので、薬は日本から持参しました。食事付などのコースもありましたが、食べると気分が悪くなる事を予測して、あえて一番お得な食事無しのコースにしましたが、飲み物は付いているので結果的には良かったと思います。
肝心のクジラは残念ながらすぐ近くでジャンプ、とは行きませんでしたが、2時間半のクルーズの間何度も塩を吹いたり潜ったりする背中を見る事ができてとても感動しました。船の上から見るワイキキもとてもキレイでした。ただ船の上は予想以上に風が吹いて非常に寒いので風を通さない長袖のパーカーなどを持っていく事を是非オススメします。それでも寒い時はいっそ屋上階に出てしまった方がお日様がぽかぽか当たって気持ちが良かったですよ。

I was moved by the dynamic whale performance! ダイナミックなクジラのパフォーマンスに感動!

Reviewed by: Hiroe

On February 5th, I went whale watching for the first time and was able to see a pod of five whales and one whale twice!

I was worried about getting seasick, but once I spotted the whales, I was so excited that I completely forgot about it and had a blast! The pod of five whales swam slowly alongside the boat just ten minutes after we set sail, off the coast of Aloha Tower. According to the naturalist's explanation, it's rare to see five whales together like that?!

After observing the pod for about 30 minutes, we moved to another location to search for the next whale, which was time for a lunch buffet. I filled up on everything from salad to chicken, roast beef, fruit, and dessert! After lunch, I had the experience of making a lei with plumeria flowers.

Since I was full and had enjoyed a cultural experience, I thought I’d take a moment to enjoy the view outside, and suddenly, a whale jumped out of the water!!! It leaped four or five times, splashing as it performed!

I was moved by the whales' dynamic performance, and I had a wonderful time with the cultural experience as well. Next time, I’ll go with my family and friends!

2月5日に初めてホエールウォッチングに、5頭のクジラの群れと1頭のクジラ、2回見ることができました!

船酔いの心配もあったんだけど、クジラを見つけて大興奮していたら、そんなことすっかり忘れておおはしゃぎ☆
5頭からなるクジラの群れは、出港してから10分ととたたないうち、アロハタワーの沖合いで船の横をゆ~っくりと泳いでいました。ナチュラリストさんの説明によると5頭一緒に見かけるのは珍しいのだとか?!
30分くらいクジラの群れを観察してから、次のクジラを探しに場所を移動するとのことだったので、お昼ご飯ビュッフェに。
サラダからチキン、ローストビーフ、果物、デザートまでおなかいっぱいに!
ランチの後は、プルメリアでレイ作りを体験♪
おなかもいっぱいになったし、カルチャー体験もしたから、ちょっと外で景色でも見ようかなっと思って景色を眺めていたらクジラが大ジャンプ!!!4、5回水しぶきを上げて大ジャンプを披露してくれました!

クジラのダイナミックなパフォーマンスに感動できたし、カルチャー体験もできたし、と~っても楽しませていただきました。今度は家族や友達と一緒にいきます!

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour & Tropical Waterfalls Sightseeing from Hilo

Volcano Visit Disappointing

Reviewed by: Mary Liz

I flew from Honolulu to Hilo early for trip which was scheduled for 8:30 AM. We were delayed starting by about one hour for other guests who took a later flight. My main reason for this tour was to see the volcano. Because of air quality, the observation area was closed. Because of cloud cover, we could not see the top of the volcano. We were able to visit the National Park Visitors Center which was worthwhile.

The tour guide was just fair. We visited several commercial sites.
He tried to make up for the closing of the observation area by stopping at other volcanoes in the park & a lava tube.

Incredible power!!! 大迫力!!!

Reviewed by: MINO

I just returned from the Big Island of Hawaii.
This time of year coincides with the arrival of humpback whales, so whether you join other ocean tours or a circumnavigation of the island, you can see the whales jumping.

However, this cruise features the whales, allowing you to see them jumping up close and watch several of them playing!

I found myself so captivated by the whales that I could only take distant photos, but my friend who was with me captured some great videos!

Since everyone on the cruise shares the goal of seeing the whales, conversations flow freely regardless of nationality.

As with any tour, I always believe that not being afraid to make mistakes and approaching others with a smile is the key to enjoying your travels.

Water, juice, snacks, and fruit are complimentary. Cocktails and alcoholic drinks can be enjoyed at the onboard bar.

ハワイ島から帰国したばかりです。
この時期はザトウクジラが来る時期にちょうどあたっていた

参加者の目的はクジラをみることで一緒なので

I participated on January 22. I thought it might be too early to see much, so I expected to only catch a glimpse from a distance, but I was thrilled to see it up close multiple times! Various groups appeared all around, and the staff mentioned that it was rare to see so many up close, so I felt very lucky. My daughter seemed to enjoy searching for whales too, and she was excited when she spotted one over there! On the way back, my husband took a ukulele lesson while my daughter and I had fun making leis. My husband had learned a bit of ukulele before, so he was happy to have a mini concert with the teacher at the end. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the ocean was amazing, and we created many wonderful memories. I'm glad we participated.

1月22日に参加しました。
少し時期が早いので遠くで見れる程度かなぁと思っていたけど、すぐ近くで何度も見れて大興奮でした!
色んな集団があちこちに出現し、スタッフの方が「こんなに沢山近くで見れるのは珍しい」と言っていたけど、大変ラッキーでした。
娘はクジラを探すのも楽しかったみたいで、あっちにいたぁ!と見つけたときは嬉しかったみたいです。
帰りには、主人はウクレレのレッスン、私と娘はレイを作って楽しかったです。
主人は少しだけウクレレを習ったことがあるので、最後にウクレレの先生と一緒に発表会ができ、嬉しかったようです。
海から見るダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色もサイコーでしたし、いい思い出が沢山でき、参加して良かったです。

The whale's jump is amazing! クジラのジャンプ すごい!

Reviewed by: ake

Actually, it's called a briefing, but in the beginning, there were cheers just from seeing a part of the whale. When a jump happened, there was an overwhelming cheer and excitement. While waiting for the next jump, people nearby were getting excited together, creating a strange sense of solidarity during the pleasant cruising experience. Luckily, I was able to see about eight jumps. On the way back from whale watching, there were activities like making flower arrangements and hula lessons, making it a very enjoyable cruise.

本当は ブリーフィングとか言うらしいのですが 最初のころは クジラの一部が見えただけで歓声が上がっていましたが ジャンプが出た時の大歓声と大興奮 次のジャンプを 今か今かと待つ間にも 近くの人同士でも 盛り上がり 不思議な連帯感のような 和やかなクルージングの中 ラッキーにも8回ぐらい 見ることが出来ました。ホエールウオッチングの帰りの船中では 生花でのレイ作りやフラのレッスンとかが有り とても楽しいクルージングです。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The Body Glove boat is a very nice vessel, and I felt really excited the moment I saw it at the Kailua Pier. Once on board, we set off right away. The boat had a buffet with cupcakes, croissants, fruits, and soft drinks. The first floor had sofa seating, while the second floor was a deck, and we chose to sit on the first floor.

About five minutes after departure, the boat stopped. An announcement was made that we would be searching for whales. After about 20 minutes of anchoring, we spotted a whale spouting in the distance, and the boat hurried towards it. However, because the boat was large, we couldn't get too close, and by the time we arrived, the whale had already submerged.

It was a bit frustrating. Once a whale surfaces, it reportedly reappears after about 20 minutes, so we kept waiting, chasing, waiting again, and chasing again. While this might be good for families or beginners, we (in our 20s) found it to be a bit lacking in excitement.

ボディグローブ号はとても素敵な船で、カイルア桟橋で船を見た瞬間はとてもワクワクしました。
乗船すると、すぐに出発。船にはカップケーキやクロワッサン、フルーツやソフトドリンクなどがバイキング形式で置いてありました。1階はソファー席、2階はデッキになっており、私達は1階に座りました。
出発して5分ほどたつとすぐに船がストップ。ここで、鯨を探します。とのアナウンスが入りました。20分ほど停泊すると遠くで鯨の潮吹きする姿を発見、急いでそちらへと船が進みます。
ですが、船が大きいため近くまでは寄れず、向かっている途中に鯨は潜ってしまい近づいた頃には見られませんでした。
少しもどかしい感じでした。鯨は1度海上に姿を現すと次は20分後とのことで、20分ほど待って、追いかける、また待って、追いかける。その繰り返しでした。
ファミリーや初心者の方には良いのかもしれませんが、私達(20代)には物足りないと感じるアクティビティでした。
