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 refreshing cruise. 爽やかクルージングでした　

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see a whale spouting water and its tail about ten times. Although they were too far away to capture in photos, it was my first time seeing whales in the ocean, and I was truly moved.

According to the explanation from the crew on the "Naturalist," the end of December is when the whales coming from Alaska start to arrive, so their numbers are still low. The best season is said to be from the end of January to February. During that time, you can even hear the calls of male whales trying to attract females through an underwater microphone. If you want to increase your chances of encountering whales, I think it's best to check the season.

That said, cruising on the newly refurbished Body Glove was very pleasant, and just looking at the blue ocean and the green shore was soothing. It was also a nice touch that snacks and fruits were provided for free. There was a bartender on board, and foreign tourists were eagerly enjoying cocktails. Since the guide mentioned that soft drinks were included, I decided to try a non-alcoholic cocktail, and they even added a cute orchid flower to it for free. (To order a non-alcoholic cocktail, just add "virgin." For example, you can ask for a "virgin piña colada" to have a cocktail made without rum.)

On the way back to the port, I encountered a pod of dolphins and a manta ray (though I couldn't see it well since it was just its back), so I think the hit rate was quite high. Since this is a tour that relies on nature rather than a guaranteed aquarium experience, I believe you can still have a great time even if you don't encounter any wildlife, as long as you enjoy the cruising itself.

クジラは潮を吹いているのと、尻尾を10回程観る事が出来ました。どれも遠くて写真に収める事は出来ませんでしたが、
海でクジラを観たのは初めてだったので感動しました。

乗船していた「ナチュラリスト」の方の説明によると、12月末はまだアラスカから来るクジラが到着し始めた頃で数が少なく、ベストシーズンは1月末から2月だそうです。 その頃になると、メスを呼ぶオスのクジラの声を水中マイクで聴いたりする事もできるそうです。 クジラ遭遇のヒット率を高くしたい方はシーズンをチェックした方が良いと思います。　

とはいえ、今年から新しくしたというボディ・グローブ号でのクルージングはとても気持ちがよく、青い海原と緑の対岸を見ているだけでも癒されます。 スナックやフルーツが無料で用意されているのも嬉しいサービスでした。バーテンダーの方も同乗しており、外国人観光客の方はこぞってカクテルを飲んでいました。 案内にソフトドリンク付きとあったので、試しにノンアルコールのカクテルを頼んでみたら、かわいい蘭の花をつけてくれてこれも無料でした。（ノンアルコールでカクテルを頼むには「ヴァージン」を付ければOKです。例えば「バージン・ピナコラーダ」でラム抜きでカクテルを作ってくれます。）

港に戻る途中でイルカの群れやマンタ（背中だけなのでよく分かりませんでしたが）に遭遇したりと、ヒット率は高かったと思います。 必ず遭える水族館ではなく、自然に任せてのツアーなので、クルージング自体を楽しむ感覚で行けば遭遇出来なくても十分に楽しめると思います。

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri & Arizona Memorial Tour - Roberts Hawaii

Pearl Harbor Stars and Stripes

Reviewed by: Mary Siart

We really enjoyed this tour. Definitely rent the audio recording of the Pearl Harbor exhibit once you get to the Pearl Harbor visitor center. It greatly enhanced the experience. After Pearl Harbor we toured the USS Missouri. What an experience! The tour guide we had on the USS Missouri was great at verbally drawing pictures and explaining what it was like when the Japanese surrendered. Doing both the Pearl Harbor (USS Arizona) and the USS Missouri tours was great because you got to see what marked the beginning and the end of war.

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

Great activity, but had one problem

Reviewed by: Arnab

The luau staff were great, but we wish the hotel staff at the lobby were more helpful. We were out of cash to pay $3 for the parking, and all nearby ATM's were down. We asked the lobby staff to accept a credit card payment, but they would not budge. Finally one person in the Luau staff (Dan, I believe) helped us out (bless his heart!). So even though the activity was great, the ending was somewhat rocky.

ワイキキトロリー　ワイキキ巡回トロリーまたはミニバス　乗り放題1・4日間券（アラモアナ、ダイアモンドヘッド、カカアコ、東海岸など）

It's definitely a great deal! 絶対お得です

Reviewed by: 次郎さん

The "Waikiki Trolley 4-Day Unlimited Ride Coupon" is definitely a great deal. For seniors (62 years and older), it's only $27, while just the Blue Line typically costs $25 (the same goes for the Red Line). We enjoyed hopping on and off the Blue Line and Red Line freely. However, the Blue Line runs once an hour, and the Red Line about every 45 minutes, so we printed out the timetable in advance to carry with us. There are also Japanese explanations (on tape) on board, and some drivers provide guidance in Japanese, which makes it quite enjoyable!

「ワイキキトロリー４日間４ライン乗り放題」のクーポンこれは絶対お得です。シニア（６２歳以上）は僅か２７ドル、ブルーラインだけでも通常２５ドルなのです。（レッドラインも同じ）私たちはブルーライン、レッドラインで途中下車したりそれこそ勝手気ままに乗り放題でした。ただ、ブルーラインは１時間に１本、レッドラインも４５分に１本程度なので事前にネットで時刻表をプリントして持ち歩きました。車内では日本語の説明（テープ）もありドライバーも人によっては結構日本語で案内してくれるので楽しいですよ！

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＞

It's okay. まあまあかな

Reviewed by: seisyun

I was late for the meeting time, so I was guided to my seat first, but then I went back to get a lei and a flower tattoo. Since it was a buffet, I was able to eat a lot of my favorite foods, but personally, I wanted to eat even more (laughs). While I was in the restroom, the show started, and I missed the Tahitian dance, which was the one I wanted to see the most, so I was really disappointed. The same performers danced various regional dances, which provided a different kind of enjoyment compared to PCC. Since I could see it up close, I carefully observed one dancer to study the dance. If PCC is a show to enjoy the overall impact, I think the show here allows for more detailed observation. It might be great for those who are seeing Hawaiian cuisine and dance for the first time.

集合時間に遅れてしまったので、先に席に案内されたが、戻ってレイや花のいれずみをやってもらった。
バイキングなので自分の好きなものをたくさん食べれたが、私的にもっと食べていたかった（笑）。
トイレに行っていた最中にショーが始まってしまい、タヒチのダンスを見損ねてしまった。一番見たかったダンスだけにショックだった。
色々な地域のダンスを同じ人たちが踊っていたので、PCCとは違った楽しさがあった。まじかで見れたので、一人の人をじっくり観察してダンスを研究した。
PCCが全体の迫力を楽しむショーであるとしたら、ここでのショーはじっくり観察できるものであると思う。
ハワイアン料理やダンスなどを初めて見るといった人にはいいかもしれない。

【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

It was my first time in Hawaii. 初めてのハワイでした。

Reviewed by: きらきら

I was considering a dinner cruise, but since I wanted to see the blue sea and sky, I opted for lunch instead. I heard that seating is first-come, first-served (from this post), so I took the trolley and arrived early. The weather was nice, and I was able to get a window seat, which was great. I also enjoyed the cultural class.

However, the meal was a bit rushed and hectic. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and above all, the Kona coffee served on board was exquisite. Lastly, for couples planning to go, it seems that if the boat is full, there is a possibility of sharing a table with others. Both of our neighbors were at shared tables.

ディナークルーズにしようか迷ったのですが、せっかくだから、青い海と空を見たくてランチにしました。
席が先着順だと聞いていたので（こちらの書き込みで）トロリーで早めに行きました。天気もよく、窓側の席も取れたので、よかったです。カルチャー教室も楽しめました。
ただ、食事は慌しくて大変でした。船は思ったより揺れなかっし、何と言っても、船内で出されるコナコーヒーは絶品でした。最後に一つ、カップルで行かれるかたは、満席の場合に相席になる可能性もあるみたいです。私たちの両隣は、どちらも相席でした。

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri & Arizona Memorial Tour - Roberts Hawaii

More Time for Stars and Stripes

Reviewed by: CC

We had wished for more time to tour the various places (especially the Arizona and Missouri). Though she had kept us on time during the day, we felt a little shorted at these attractions. The city tour was nice as was punchbowl, but time could have been compressed here to afford more time at the Arizona or Missouri. We never made it to the US Army museum as indicated in the itinerary. We did end the day earlier than we had anticipated. Our tour guide was excellent and she knew a lot of information that was helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed her comments and attitude. I understand that it is often hard to predict if people will be on time or not and therefore you need to plan accordingly, however as we were all on time most of the day, I think things could have been adjusted.

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＞

The best spot on Maui. マウイ島の一番のスポット

Reviewed by: めぐみ

On November 5th, we participated as a newlywed couple. Originally, we were scheduled to join on the 4th, but there was unusually heavy rain. However, the person in charge contacted us in the morning and said it would depend on the weather the next day. We were anxious about the possibility of cancellation, but despite the heavy rain in Oahu, miraculously, Maui had clear skies, and we were able to participate on the 5th.

The tour had a total of three participants, including one other participant. On the way to Haleakalā, we were taken to have a snack and made some stops along the way, which eased our nerves as we headed up the mountain. The weather that day wasn't great, and we couldn't see the sunset.

As for the starry sky, we patiently waited while enjoying our meal for the clouds to clear, and finally, we were able to see a 360-degree view of a starry sky like we had never seen before! The stories shared were fascinating, and it was truly a heart-clearing experience. I felt it would be great for students and newlyweds.

I want to see it again. If you go to Maui, you absolutely must see it!!! Even now that we are back in Japan, we are both raving about it.

Thank you very much!

１１月５日に新婚夫婦で参加させていただきました。
本当は４日に参加の予定が、珍しくも大雨。でも担当の方から朝掛けに連絡があり、翌日の天気次第でという対応をいただきました。キャンセルになる不安もありましたが、天気予報も当日のオアフも大雨の中、奇跡的にマウイは快晴になり、５日に参加ができました。
ツアーは他の参加者さん１名との計３名での参加でした。
ハレアカラに上るまえに、道中、おやつを食べに連れて行ってくれたり、寄り道をしながら、緊張もほぐれて、山へ。
この日は雲行きがあまりよくなく、夕日は見れませんでした。
星空のほうはというと、雲が抜けてくれるのをじっくりとご飯を食べたりしてまっていて、遂に３６０度、見たことのない星空をみることができました！
お話も興味深いものがあり、本当に心が澄み渡るような体験でした。
学生の人や、新婚さんにおすすめだなぁと感じました。
また、見たいです。
マウイに行ったら、絶対に見たほうが良い！！！
と、日本に帰った今でも２人で絶賛しています。
