When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!
ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね!
現地スタッフ(チケット引き換え所)のおじいちゃん?も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり!乗らなきゃ損です。
停車中には写真も取ってくれます♪
移動だけの手段だけではなく、楽しい運転手の話しを聞きながらワイキキ周辺を探索出来ました。
次回も絶対に参加しま~す!

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and it was the most stunning and wonderful sunset we have ever experienced. We were able to enjoy it thoroughly from a quiet, high place without any noise. Although we had no knowledge of stars, thanks to Mr. Yamauchi's detailed explanations, we felt like we became amateur star enthusiasts. The restroom for breaks was clean and there was a place to change. The hot packs we brought were also useful. It became the best memory of Maui.
お天気にも恵まれ、今まで経験した中で一番美しく、素晴らしいサンセットでした。雑音のない静かな高い場所から たっぷりと楽しむことができました。星の知識も全くない私たちでしたが、山内さんの丁寧な説明でにわか星マニアになれた気分。休憩のトイレも綺麗で着替えも可能。持って行ったホッカイロも役立ちました。最高のマウイの思い出になりました。

Although it was the main highlight of my trip that I was looking forward to, unfortunately, it rained heavily.
Usually, there is a performance where King Kamehameha arrives by boat, followed by a dinner show under the starry sky, but it was suddenly changed to an indoor show.
We had to wait about an hour in the hotel lobby for the setup, but during that time, the MC kept us entertained with jokes and ukulele performances. Chatting with other foreign tourists also became a nice memory.
We moved to a banquet-like area inside the hotel for the show to begin. The performances of singing and dancing, along with audience participation during the cha-cha dance time, were wonderfully entertaining, and I was very satisfied.
The food featured traditional Hawaiian dishes as the main course. It was quite filling, and while tastes may vary, I enjoyed it very much.
We also had plenty of fun with participatory activities like hula lessons, but the hotel hallway felt a bit cramped. I wished we could have done it outside under the sky on the grass. However, it was such a fulfilling show program that I definitely want to participate again on a day with better weather!
I clearly remember the words, "For those visiting Hawaii for the first time, welcome; for those returning, you are friends (aikane); and for those coming for the third time or more, you are all family (ohana)," which warmed my heart.
旅のメインと楽しみにしていたのに生憎の大雨。
通常はキングカメハメハがボートに乗ってやってくるパフォーマンスと星空の下でのディナーショーなのですが、急きょ室内でのショーに変更になりました。
セッティングのためホテルロビーにて1時間ほど待たされたのですが、その間も客を飽きさせないようMCの方が冗談を飛ばしたりウクレレ演奏があったり。ほかの外国人観光客たちとの立ち話もいい思い出となりました。
ホテル内の宴会場のような場所に移動して、ショーの開始。
歌や踊りのパフォーマンス、観客を巻き込んでのチークダンスタイムなど素敵な演出が盛りだくさんで大満足でした。
料理はハワイの伝統食がメイン。ボリューム満点で好みは分かれるかとも思いますが、私は美味しく頂きました。
フラレッスンなどの参加型アクティビティも十分楽しめたのですが、やはりホテルの廊下では少し狭く、空の下、芝生の上でやりたかったなあという印象。しかし次こそは天候に恵まれた日にまたぜひ参加したい!と思える充実したショープログラムでした。
「一度目のHawaiiのひとは初めまして、
二度目のひとは友達(aikane)、
三度目以上の人はみんな家族(ohana)」
という言葉に心がほっこりしたのをよく覚えています♪
Dear Mr. Anonymous,
Thank you for attending the luau show. Your comments almost brought tears to my eyes. While the rain is a blessing for us Polynesians, it often prevents us from showcasing the beauty of the ocean, the arrival of the king, and the imu show, which may leave our guests unsatisfied.
We would love for you to become part of our Ohana.
With heartfelt gratitude, love, and Aloha.

I have always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this canyon horseback riding course. As someone who has been attending a riding club, just walking at a normal pace wasn't enough for me, and I dozed off a bit along the way, but it was wonderful to view the mysterious forest and the beautiful ocean from the horse's back. The horse was calm and well-behaved. The stray cat and stray chicken that were friendly were also cute.
The restroom at the riding club is just one temporary toilet outside, so I strongly recommend using the nice restrooms at Dole Plantation beforehand. The Dole pineapple soft serve and cookies were delicious.
There is no rental for helmets and gloves, which are usually provided for horseback riding. It’s a good idea to bring a hat, long sleeves, long pants, and gloves that you don’t mind getting dirty to protect against sunburn and scratches.
I’m not a fan of shrimp, but the lunch I went to had no options other than shrimp (there was a fruit salad on the menu, but it wasn’t actually available), so I wished I could have eaten at a cool, clean restaurant with a restroom that accepted credit cards and offered something other than shrimp lunch. It seems to be a famous place, and the guide kindly offered me some pineapple as a side.
We had a packed schedule with visits to the "Tree of Life," Dole, sea turtles, and Haleiwa Town, and they accommodated us in various ways. As a result, we ended up leaving later than planned, but the guide was chatty and kind.
昔からハワイで乗馬がしたかったので、こちらの渓谷乗馬コースを申し込みました。乗馬クラブに通ってた私には、普通の並み足で歩くだけでは物足りなくて、途中でウトウトしてしまったけど、不思議な森の中や綺麗な海が見える景色を馬の背から眺めるのは乙なものでした。お馬さんも大人しくて良い子でした。よく懐いてる野良猫と野良ニワトリも可愛かったです^^
乗馬クラブのトイレは外の仮設のようなトイレ1個しかないので、ドールプランテーションの綺麗なトイレで済ませておくことを強くお勧めします。ドールのパイナップルソフトクリームとクッキーは美味しかったです。
乗馬に付き物の、ヘルメットと手袋のレンタルはありません。日焼けと傷防止のためにも、帽子と長袖・長ズボン・軍手などの汚れても良い手袋を持参すると良いです。
私はエビが苦手なのですが、行ったランチはシュリンプ以外のメニューが無く(フルーツサラダがメニューにあるけど実際は売ってなかった)、シュリンプランチ以外のクレジットカードが使えるトイレつきの涼しく綺麗なレストランで食べたかった気もしますが。有名なお店だそうで、ガイドさんが気を使って私に添え物のパイナップルをくれました。
この木なんの木や、ドール、ウミガメ、ハレイワタウン、イレギュラーな対応もして頂き、盛りだくさんのイベントでした。
そのため帰る時間が遅くなりましたが、ガイドさんはお喋りで親切でした。

I really wanted to experience horseback riding in Hawaii, so I joined this tour. My daughter and grandchild rode the pineapple train, while my husband and I took on horseback riding. The horses, walking in a line through the enchanting forest, were very obedient, and sometimes they would stop to graze, making it thrilling as they tried to catch up with the horse in front. It was so much fun that since returning home, I've been looking for trips where I can ride horses. It became my most enjoyable memory from the trip to Hawaii.
是非ハワイで乗馬を経験したかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。娘と孫はパイナップル列車に乗り、私たち夫婦は乗馬に挑戦しました。幻想的な林の中を列を作って散歩する馬さんたちはとても従順で、時々、道草を食べて遅れると前の馬に追いつこうとして走るので、とてもスリリングな時を過ごしました。とても楽しかったので、帰国してからも乗馬ができる旅ばかり探しています。ハワイの旅で一番楽しい思い出になりました。

I am very grateful to my guide, Mr. Abe. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy Kauai Island at a leisurely pace. His storytelling was also very relaxed, making the journey feel effortless. Although he had already retired once and was working again, it felt like his experience really made a difference.
I could clearly see the impact of the two major hurricanes that hit Kauai, with damaged buildings and free-roaming birds still evident today.
The fern cave wasn't very impressive, but the mini Grand Canyon was lovely.
私は阿部さんというガイドさんにとても感謝しています。
時間をゆったり作って回っていただいたので、カウアイ島を堪能できました。
お話もとってもゆったりしていらして、つかれることのない道中でした。
すでに一度は退職されており、再雇用でのお仕事とのことでしたが、そんな経験が物をいうという感じでした。
カウアイ島が2回も大きなハリケーンに見舞われ、大きな被害があったことは今も残る壊れたままの建造物や放し飼いになった鳥などでよくわかりました。
シダの洞窟はあんまり印象的ではありませんでしたが、ミニグランドキャニオンは素敵でした。

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

This tour was amazing. The donuts were fluffy and delicious, and the makunouchi bento was tasty as well. I started with the food, but Haleakalā was more wonderful than I imagined. On the way to the summit, we entered the clouds and for a moment, we couldn't see anything, but when we emerged, a sea of clouds spread out below us, and I was captivated by the view. I was moved from the very beginning. The colors of the crater, the sunset, and the starry sky were breathtaking. I want to share this wonderful experience, but I feel frustrated that words can't convey it. The guide, as everyone has mentioned in their reviews, loved the stars and made a great effort to share that passion with us, showing excellent consideration. The weather was perfect, the guide was fantastic, and my fellow tour members were great too.
このツアー最高でした。軽食のドーナツふわふわでおいしかった。幕の内弁当おいしかった。・・・と食べることから入ってしまいましたがハレアカラ想像以上にすばらしいものでした。頂上に向かう途中雲の中に入り一瞬何も見えなくなりましたがそれを抜けた時、下に雲海が広がっておりその景色に心奪われました。最初から感動しきりでした。クレーターの色、夕日、そして星空と圧巻の景色でした。このすばらしい体験を伝えたいのに言葉ではつたえられないもどかしさを感じています。ガイドさんも皆さんが口コミされている通り星が大好きで私たちにも一生懸命伝えようとして下さり気配りも最高でした。天気最高、ガイドさん最高、ツアーのお仲間も最高でした。
Eating even a little bit of donuts can help prevent altitude sickness. It improves blood flow and makes it easier to ascend slowly, allowing you to stay at the 3,000-meter summit without pressure. As you gaze at the sunset and the starry sky, each person's memories flow like a slideshow while taking in the grandeur of nature. Please come back to enjoy that "space" again.
ドーナッツをちょっとでも食べておくと高山病になりにくいのです。
血流も良くなり、ゆっくり登る事も助けになって
3000メートルの山頂もプレッシャーなく居られます。
夕焼けに星空に皆様のそれぞれの思い出が
壮大な大自然を見ていると走馬灯のように流れていくのですよね。

Last August, my family participated in a canyon horseback riding experience. My son, who is in the third grade, and my daughter, who is in high school, both had a great time. The 90-minute ride through the canyon included just the right amount of uphill sections and was more fun than we expected. Each horse had its own personality, and my son's horse was laid-back, walking slowly, which seemed perfect for him (laughs). At the end, they also took pictures for us, creating wonderful memories!

小学3年生の息子や高校生の娘もとても楽しんでいました。

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.
As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!
As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.
All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

By far the best Luau in Oahu. 'Chief' is on to a winner with his Luau. He entertains you from the start to the end of the evening with his brilliant comedy skills, his drumming, singing and, of course, his fire dance which is sensational. There is a lot of audience participation, the food is excellent and it all adds up to the most magical evening. 'Chief' has an excellent team with him and I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone.

The inside of the boat was too cold due to the air conditioning. I wished I had brought a jacket.

During this season's cruise, we were able to see mother and baby whales quite often.
The sight of them swimming together is truly adorable.
We are very pleased that you were able to catch a glimpse of them, even for a moment.
Many restaurants and buses in Hawaii tend to be overly air-conditioned, so I think it would be a good idea to carry something to wear over your clothes.

The meal was delicious, and the show was enjoyable, but at the beginning, we felt awkward because we didn't understand when the attendees were supposed to stand, so we were the only ones sitting. If you're not good at English conversation, it's okay to just follow what everyone else is doing. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, so I felt like we got more than just the show.
食事美味しく、ショーも楽しかったのですが初めのほうで参列者の起立が分からず私たちだけ椅子に座ったままで気まずい思いをしました。英会話が苦手な人は周りに合わせて行動すればOKです。サンセットがすごく綺麗でしたので、ショーの他に得した気分でした。

Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.
We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!

While heading to Mauna Kea, our guide Fujitani made sure we had time to stop at a shopping center and even enjoy a little lava walk. He was energetic and fun throughout the tour.
During dinner at Onizuka, we had miso soup served in bowls instead of paper cups, which felt really comforting. The cocoa after our post-meal walk was delicious too!
At the summit (or nearby?!), the sunset was incredibly beautiful, and we were lucky to see Maui as well.
We saw the starry sky around 3,900 meters. It was absolutely stunning! There, we enjoyed cookies and warm tea, which felt like a luxurious treat. We could clearly see Saturn through the telescope!
Amidst the sky filled with stars, the explanation of the stars using a laser pointer was very easy to understand, even for someone like me who isn't knowledgeable about stars. I think the highlight was being able to see the Southern Cross!
マウナケアに向かいながら、時間があるからとショッピングセンターで時間を作ってくれたり、ちょっとした溶岩ウォーク出来たりと、ガイドの藤谷さんが元気に楽しく案内してくれました。
オニヅカでの夕食時にはみそ汁をいただいたのですが、紙コップとかではなくお椀でいただいたのが、なんだかホッとする感じ♪

The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.

First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.
I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.
The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!
This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared

The tour was breathtaking, spectacular, and the best experience all in a row, just as described in the brochure. I was a bit worried about getting car sick since we drove up to a mountain peak at 4,000 meters, but we took breaks along the way, so it was totally fine. The cold was within expectations, allowing me to enjoy the tour. What impressed me the most was the sincere and dedicated effort of the tour guide, Yamapi, to make sure all participants had a great time. If I have the chance, I would love to join another tour with Yamapi.
ツアーの内容は、説明書の通り、圧巻・壮観・最高の連続でした。
一つコメントすると、4000メーター級の山頂まで車で登るのでクルマ酔いしそうだなと心配でしたが、休み休みしながら登っていくので、全然大丈夫でした。
寒さも想定内だったので、ツアーを楽しむことができました。

I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!
In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.
One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m

I was drawn to participate after seeing a photo of the sea of clouds at Mauna Kea in a guidebook.
The scenery on the way to Mauna Kea was wonderful for me, and I even encountered a herd of wild goats along the way, which was fun.
At the Onizuka Visitor Center, I borrowed warm clothing (the only place that lends both top and bottom was Masashi Nature School, so I decided on this place based on reviews), and off we went to the summit!
It was cold, but I was able to endure it and see the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. I was so moved that I took a lot of photos, but the time at the summit was only about 30 minutes, and the sunset went down quickly, so I regretted not taking more time to enjoy it. Even after the sun set, the orange and blue colors lingered faintly between the clouds and the sky, which was very beautiful!
Afterward, we went a little lower to enjoy stargazing, but unfortunately, it was a full moon (I knew this when I signed up, but I could only take my vacation at this time), so there were fewer stars. However, I had expected the worst, so I was able to see more stars than I thought. My desire to see how amazing it would be during a new moon grew even stronger!
The guide's explanations were detailed and easy to understand, using a laser pointer, which was great.
Overall, I think this is a tour I would recommend to anyone, but if possible, participating during a new moon would enhance the experience even more!
ガイドブックに載っていたマウナ・ケアの雲海の写真に惹かれて参加。
マウナ・ケアまでの道中の景色も私にとっては素晴らしく、途中で野生のヤギの群れにも遭遇し楽しかったです。
オニズカビジターセンターで上下の防寒具を貸してもらい(上下貸して貰えるのはマサシ・ネイチャースクールだけだったので口コミと合わせてここに決めました)、いざ山頂へ!
寒かったのですが十分耐えれるレベルで雲海に沈む夕陽を観ることが出来ました。感動して写真を撮りまくりましたが、山頂での時間は30分ほどと短く、夕陽が沈んでいくのも速いのでもっとゆっくり眺めるべきだったと少し後悔しました。夕陽が沈んだ後も雲と空の間にオレンジ色と青色が薄く残りとても綺麗でした!
その後少し下ったところで星空観賞をしましたがあいにくの満月だったので(申し込み時点で分かっていましたが休暇がこの時期しか無理だったので)星は少なめでした。それでも最悪を予想していたので思っていたよりも星はたくさん見えました。新月の時ならどれくらいすごいのか見たい気持ちがより強くなりました!
ガイドさんの説明も詳しくレーザーを使って分かり易くて良かったです。
トータルしてどなたにも勧められるツアーだと思いますが、出来れば新月の時に参加すれば感動は倍増すると思います!

Also, the stargazing was amazing; even though the moon was bright, I could clearly see the Winter Triangle, Orion, the Southern Cross, and the Big Dipper, which was truly moving. Since we were observing under the cold sky, the cookies and tea we received were really delicious! Our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was very enthusiastic and it was a really enjoyable tour.
GWにに参加させていただきました。4000m以上の場所でのサンセットはなかなか見られるものではないですし、雲海に沈みゆく太陽がものすごくキレイで忘れられない思い出になりました。又、星空観測も、月が明るかったものの冬の大三角形やオリオン座、南十字星、北斗七星などがキレイに見えて感動しました。寒空の下の観測だったのでいただいたクッキーと紅茶がホントにおいしかった!ガイドの山本さんもサービス精神旺盛でとても楽しいツアーでした。

I was surprised at how incredibly easy it was to reach the summit at 3,000 meters. However, I was thrilled by the unprecedented experience of seeing "360 degrees of sky!" and "the shadow of the Earth!" I also appreciated the guide's extensive astronomical knowledge, which added even more emotion to the breathtaking natural scenery.
Maui is not just about the ocean! I highly recommend it to everyone.
あっけないほど簡単に3,000mの山頂にたどり着いたのにはビックリでした。
しかし『360度 空!』しかも『地球の影をみる』という前代未聞の体験には興奮しました!!
ヤマピーの豊富な天文知識をふんだんに盛り込んだガイドが大自然の景観に更にプラスした感動をもたらしてくれたこともありがたく感じました。
マウイは海だけじゃない!って是非皆さんにもおすすめします。
Haleakalā rarely sees snow, so there are paved roads. It might be unique to Maui that you can drive to the summit at 3,000 meters in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. We look forward to seeing you again in Maui!
ハレアカラは雪が殆ど降らないので舗装道路が出来上がっているのですね。
3000メートルまで車で山頂まで1時間30分くらいで上れるのは
マウイだけかもしれませんね~。またマウイでお待ちしています。

Great evening and entertainment. Sat by door which despite staffs attempts to block off, was continually opened by customers causing a lot of wind while we ate.

Please do become an amateur astronomer! I hope the silent tranquility and magnificent scenery leave a lasting impression on your heart. Make Maui your second home.
是非アマチュア天文家になってくださいね~!
音の無い静けさと雄大な景色が心に残れば幸いです。
マウイを第2の故郷にしてくださいね。
