I was considering that I might not need to use the trolley just around Waikiki, but since I wanted to go to Diamond Head, I thought, why not! So I signed up for the unlimited ride pass for four days. The Blue Line has a long course that takes three hours to complete one loop, but they stop for 15 to 25 minutes at photo spots, which is a nice service, making it feel like a little sightseeing bus. If the driver is a fun person, you really feel like you've gotten a great deal. Most visitors to Hawaii arrange their trips through travel agencies, so I think many will have the unlimited trolley tickets, but I would definitely recommend it for those traveling independently.
ワイキキ周辺だけならトローリーの利用は必要ないかもと考えていたのですが、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ行きたかったので、どうせなら!と思い4日間乗り放題を申し込みました。
ブルーラインは3時間で1週する長いコースですが、撮影スポットでは15~25分停車してくれるなどのサービスがあり、ちょっとした観光バスでした。
運転手さんが楽しい方なら、本当に得をした気分になりますよ。
ハワイを訪れるほとんどの方が旅行会社を通しての手配なので、トローリー乗り放題のチケットを持っていらっしゃると思いますが、個人旅行の方にはお薦めしたいと思います。

My husband and I were the first ones on and 11 hours later the last ones off the tour bus. Kenn was fabulous and kept us attentive and entertained the entire time. He gave his "professional travelers" a bunch of tips as so we wouldn't be mistaken as tourists. In addition to the detailed facts and stories he shared, he also had pictures to support the information he was providing.
We did not rent a car on our vacation to Oahu -there was no need. What we saw on the tour and learned from Kenn along the way was above and beyond what we would've done on our own, had we rented a car. Thanks again Kenn!

This was the only thing on the trip that was a concern. We was not given enough time to listen to the audio at Pearl which I felt would have enhanced the experience. Wish we have been given more time there and one less stop along the road so the driver could smoke!!
Also, the Dole Plantation was nothing. We only had time to look or buy something, not what I came for, and no time to take the tour of the plantation. If I have not asked one of the workers who was planting the pineapples some questions I would not have learned anything about the pineapple crops.
I did thoroughly enjoy the driver. He was very knowledgeable and made the drive fun. The sharing of music from a family tape added a personal touch.

On my fourth trip to Hawaii, I visited the Big Island for the first time. The purpose was golf and Mauna Kea. The sunset and scenery at Mauna Kea were breathtaking. Additionally, our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was excellent with his stories, explanations, and attentiveness to guests (we hit it off since we are both from Kansai). It became a wonderful memory.
Also, my wife forgot her sunglasses on the bus, but they were kindly delivered to our hotel. We are very grateful. If the opportunity arises, this is definitely a tour I would like to take again.
4度目のハワイ旅行で、初めてハワイ島を訪れました。
目的は、ゴルフとマウナケアでした。マウナケアでの夕陽や景色の感動的でした。また、ガイドのヤマモトさんのお話や説明、客に対する気配りも、最高でした。(同じ関西出身でウマがあいました)
とても素敵な思い出となりました。
また、妻がバスにサングラスを忘れましたが、丁寧に宿泊ホテルに届けていただきました。感謝いたします。
また、機会がありましたら、必ず行きたいツアーでした。

Although it was an English-only tour, I participated alone. I was the only Japanese person, and there were about ten travelers from the mainland United States.
As we made our way to the waterfall, we received very detailed explanations about the trees and other aspects of the rainforest. Along the way, we had to jump over rivers and navigate difficult terrain, which required everyone to help each other out and cooperate. It might be tough if you can't communicate in English to some extent.
The water at the destination waterfall was disappointingly low, which was the only letdown. However, the staff was very kind, and a sense of camaraderie developed among the participants. Overall, I thought it was an interesting tour.
英語のみのツアーと言うことでしたが、1人で参加しました。日本人は私だけ、あとはアメリカ本土からの旅行者が10人くらい。
熱帯雨林の中を木々などの説明をとても詳しく受けながら、滝を目指すのですが、途中川を飛び越えたり、足場が悪かったりと参加者みんなが助け合い、それぞれの協力が必要です。ある程度英語で意思の疎通ができないとつらいかもしれません。
目的地の滝の水が切ないほど少なく、それだけが期待はずれでしたが、スタッフはとても親切だし、参加者の連帯感などが生まれ、おもしろいツアーだと思いました。

We LOVED our tour and our tour guide Hana! He was very informative and hilarious!! If you go to Oahu n just stay in Waikiki, you're missing out! We are SUPER glad we took this tour. The Island is beautiful and you cant see that from Waikiki. Ive read a review where someone complained the lunch spot on this tour was pricey? No way, its very reasonable and they have a huge variety of food you can eat with various prices. It was a very nice place to eat. We are a young couple (in our 20's) and this was our honeymoon. This tour was the highlight of our trip! THANK YOU HANA!

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit to the Big Island.
Of course, the main purpose was Mauna Kea!!
The cold was even more than I had imagined, but the satisfaction and emotional impact exceeded my expectations.
Such scenery is something you definitely can't see in Japan. I've traveled to various places abroad, but this has truly become one of the places I’m glad I visited.
Although it was a long day, listening to the guide's stories made me feel neither tired nor bored at all. The guides, who feel a deep reverence for Mauna Kea, provided guidance that was nothing short of divine.
It was a shock that felt like a double punch!!
Thank you, I want to go again.
ハワイには何度か来てますが、はじめてハワイ島に足を伸ばしました。
もちろんマウナケアが目的!!
寒さも想像を上回ったのですが、その満足度、心のインパクト度は激しく予想を上回りました。
あんな風景、日本じゃ絶対見れない。というか海外旅行も色々行ってますが、本当に行ってよかったと思える場所のひとつとなりました。
1日長時間ですが、ガイドさんの話を聞いていると、まったく疲れや退屈を感じません。マウナケアを神聖と感じ、ほれ込んでいるガイドさんたちの案内はもはや神技でした。
なんだかダブルパンチをもらったほどのショック!!
ありがとう、また行きたいです。

Thank you very much for your hospitality during my stay. Thanks to you, I was able to fully enjoy my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii.
Now that I'm back in Japan and getting used to the scenery of Tokyo, I realize just how extraordinary my time on the Big Island and the views from Mauna Kea were, and I'm already feeling the urge to go back to Hawaii.
Not only was Mauna Kea amazing, but I was also deeply impressed by our passionate guide, which has been a great inspiration for me.
Thank you very much once again. I sincerely wish for your continued success in the future.

Hello,
I returned to Japan with many wonderful memories after watching the setting sun and the star-filled sky at Mauna Kea.
Tomorrow, I'm heading to Los Angeles. I went to Hawaii to refresh my mind. Experiencing the slow-paced Hawaiian time and the warmth of the people helped me relieve my stress, and I had very fulfilling days.
I spent a month on the Big Island, but I really wanted to go to Mauna Kea. I applied to several companies, but was turned down because of my wheelchair. By chance, I called a nature school thinking it was a long shot, and I remember being surprised at how easily they accepted me.
The majestic nature of Mauna Kea was a precious experience and a memory I will never forget. It was an emotional day, touched by the kindness of the Japanese people I was with and Mr. Yamamoto.
Having someone kindly carry me and seeing numerous stars through the telescope for the first time became a lifelong memory for me.
After a year of training in graduate school, I am seriously considering going to Kona.
Thank you so much for everything. I will definitely contact you the next time I go, so please take care of me then.
ハロー
マウナケアでの沈み行く太陽と空いっぱいの星を見る事が出来て、よい思い出いっぱいで日本にかえってきました。
明日、ロスに向かいます。
ハワイには心の洗濯の為に行きました。ゆっくりとながれるハワイアンタイムと人々の暖かさに触れて、ストレスを取り去り、とても充実した日々でした。
1ヶ月ハワイ島にいたのですが、どうしてもマウナケアに行きたくて、数社に申し込んだのですが、車椅子ということで断られ、偶然、手に入れたネイチャースクールにダメでもともとと思い電話しました。余りにも簡単に受け入れてくださって、呆気に取られていたのを覚えています。
マウナケアの雄大な自然は大切な経験で、一生忘れない思い出です。同乗していた日本人の方々と山本さんの優しさに触れ、感激の1日でした。
重い自分を快く担いでくださり、望遠鏡からの数々の星を初めてみた事は自分にとって一生の思い出になりました。
あと1年、大学院での研修後は本気でコナに行く事を考えています。
本当に色々とありがとうございました。
今度、行く時にも必ず連絡しますので宜しくお願い致します。

Aloha,
My family and I, along with my eight nieces, participated in the event.
I didn't expect it to be that cold, but we borrowed some great warm clothing and thoroughly enjoyed the mystical sunset and starry sky.
My daughter wants to go back to see her zodiac sign, Pisces. On the flight from Honolulu to Japan, she was shouting, "I don't want to go back!" (crying).
Japan has been experiencing a lot of lingering summer heat, but lately, there have been many rainy days that bring me down. I really want to go back to Hawaii!

I have returned to the humid Japan.
Every day is spent commuting to work on a crowded train, filled with sweat and tears.
The sunset viewed from Mauna Kea, the shadows on the horizon, and the night sky of that day will never be forgotten. It wasn't the lights of buildings or the glow of a late-night vending machine... it was such a wonderful night sky that I could see artificial satellites with the naked eye, illuminated by the moonlight.
Thank you for the best day!!

I returned to Japan after conquering Mauna Kea for two consecutive days, like a dream.
I'm back to my usual routine, but something feels different; every day is enjoyable no matter what I'm doing.
I believe it's all thanks to the power I received from Mauna Kea and the countless stars.
Above all, meeting you, Nishida-san, has been significant. You have a mysterious aura, and being with you made me feel like "I have to enjoy life, or I'll miss out."
I'm planning to join Nishida's tour again. It's amazing how you're increasing your fan base all the way over here in distant Japan; you're quite the charming rogue!
