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

Fantastic Day !!!!!!

Reviewed by: Dan & Brenda

Loved the tour. Our tour guide was "Ed" very friendly and knowledgeable. Also entertaining.
This was a fantastic day. It was nice to go and see the places we wouldn't have seen if we had driven around the island. So much would have been missed if we hadn't taken the tour.
We do plan to do it again sometime. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice adventure.

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

It's very cold, but it's worth a visit. とってもさむいですが、一見の価値ありです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The tour to the summit of Mauna Kea was a battle against the cold, sleepiness, and feeling unwell. However, the views above the clouds, the sunset over the clouds, and the Subaru Telescope, which Japan takes pride in, are all worth seeing. My son, who is 12 years old, participated, but it seems that children have weaker vestibular systems, and he struggled quite a bit at the summit. I hope he can join again when he's a bit older. The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and every time I go to the Big Island, I'm reminded of how much light there is in the sky back in Japan.

マウナケアの山頂へのツアーは寒さと、眠さと、具合の悪さとの闘いでした。しかし、途中の雲の上の景色とか、雲への夕日の景色、更には日本の誇るすばる天文台等々、一見の価値はあります。息子が12歳で参加したのですが、やはり子供は三半規管が弱いらしく、頂上ではかなり苦しそうでした。もう少し大きくなって、また参加したいと思います。
星空もすごくきれいで、ハワイ島にいく度に、日本の空の明かりの多さを思い知らされます。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

Afternoon Snorkel Cruise アフタヌーン・シュノーケル・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was looking for a snorkeling cruise with transportation and signed up for this tour (the transportation was provided by Jacks Hawaii). The afternoon cruise I participated in had few participants, so we were able to relax on the boat, and the crew was very kind in taking care of the mothers who were scared while swimming. The crew spotted dolphins on our way back to the bay and stopped the boat for us, but we couldn't see them very well. However, the sea was beautiful, and we were able to see colorful fish, which made everyone happy. The boat's facilities were also clean and comfortable to use, which was great!

送迎付のシュノーケルクルーズを探していてこちらのツアーに申し込みました(送迎はジャックスハワイの車でした)。
参加したアフタヌーンクルーズは参加者が少なかったので船上ではゆったり過ごせましたし、泳ぐ時にはクルーの人がとても親切に怖がる母親達の面倒を見てくれて助かりました。
イルカは湾に帰る際クルーの人が見つけて船を止めてくれましたが私達には良く見えませんでした。でも海も綺麗で色とりどりの魚を見れたので全員が喜んでいました。
船の設備も綺麗で気持ちよく使えて良かったです♪

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Great to get a feel of the Kauai

Reviewed by: Unikiam

If you want to get a feel of the island, this is a great tour, although it made a really long day and would not be recommended for children. The bus driver, Auntie Alicia, is what really made it work. The pickup time was different than on the confirmation and lunch differed from what was posted; but Auntie Alicia's knowledge and cheeriness made up for those discrepancies.

I'm glad I chose this tour. このツアーにして良かったです

Reviewed by: マウナケアに行ってきました

I was able to see a very beautiful sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. The sunset sinking above the clouds was a stunning view that is rarely seen.
The stars depend on the weather and the moon. This time, the moon was a half moon, and there were thin clouds, so we couldn't see a sky full of stars, but the guide's stories made me feel as if I had seen a sky full of stars. The explanation about the stars was very interesting.
I was grateful for the warm jacket they lent me. Compared to other tours, this tour's winter clothing looked the warmest. I highly recommend it.

 マウナケア山頂でとても綺麗な夕日を見ることが出来ました.雲の上に沈む夕日はめったに見られない美しい景色でした.
 星はお天気しだい、月しだい.今回は月が半月の上,薄い雲がかかっており満天とはいきませんでしたが.ガイドさんの話で満天の星を見たような気になりました.星の解説大変面白かったです.
 大変あたたかい上着を貸してくれたのには助かりました.他のツアーと比べこのツアーの防寒着が一番あたたかそうにみえました.お勧めです.

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri General Admission Tickets & Guided Tours

Nice Tour with a Workout

Reviewed by: Val

Nice tour - interesting tidbits along the way. I think the Explorer's Tour is worth the extra. You get to venture where the ropes are. You do some bending and ducking as you enter the various door entry areas on the ship. I think you get more out of the ship tour with the guide than just visiting without a tour guide.
ps - I selected good for families but that is also a judgment call depending on how mindful the children are in dealing with tight quarters and time-constraints to visit various areas of the ship.

This was a great way to start our family Hawaiian vacation. There was something for everyone to do. We made fresh flower lei's, learned to play the ukelele, and had hula lessons. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The lunch buffet had a very nice selection and was ono (yummy).
Two hours didn't seem quite long enough. There were so many activities that we didn't get much opportunity to just sit back and enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea. I would recommend this for a family activity. I would go again, next time for the whale watching season.

Under the starry sky 星空の下

Reviewed by: あんじー

For seating, you will be guided in the order you arrive, so after exchanging your tickets at the desk, it's best to line up in front of the outdoor luau venue where the sign is displayed. The line quickly got long while we were waiting. (There are two types of lines: regular seating and Hānai seating.)

The dances include Hawaiian, Tahitian, Māori, and Samoan, among others. Unfortunately, after being guided to our seats, there was no information provided about activities. I thought there might be an announcement after guiding us to the more expensive Hānai seating, but there wasn't, and by the time I went to check, it was already nearing the end, so I couldn't participate in the hula lesson or the palm leaf craft (meanwhile, something was happening on stage).

However, the show under the starry sky was very enjoyable, and the food was quite delicious.

席ですが並んだ順に案内されるので、デスクでチケット引き換え後に屋外のルアウ会場前のプレートが出ているところに並ぶといいです。並んでいるとあっという間に列が長くなっていました。
(通常席と、ハノハノ席の2種類の列があります)。
ダンスはハワイアン、タヒチアン、マオリ、サモアなど一通りあります。
残念だったのは、席に案内後に特にアクティビティの案内が無かったことです。先に料金が高いハノハノ席を案内したあとにあるのかな?と思っていたのですが結局無く、様子を見に行った頃にはもう終わりがけでフラレッスンにも、ヤシの葉クラフトにも参加できませんでした(この間もステージでは何かやっています)。
でも星空の下でのショーはとても気持ちのいいものでした。お料理もけっこうおいしかったです。

It was a wonderful starry sky! 素敵な星空でした!

Reviewed by: Y.K.

I apologize for the late posting, but I participated on August 30.

On that day, it was a new moon and the wind was calm, allowing us to fully enjoy the sunset and the starry sky.

Seeing the constellations from a location closer to the stars than other tours felt like we were monopolizing the entire night sky. The explanation of the constellations using a green laser was easy to understand, and the humorous guidance from Minoyan and Shinya was fantastic.

The miso soup we had during the journey, at a high altitude when our bodies started to cool down, was a truly warming dish.

I definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a stargazing experience.

書き込みが遅くなりましたが、8月30日に参加しました。

当日は新月かつ風も弱く、夕日から星空までを満喫することができました。

他のツアーよりも星に近い場所で見る星座は、まるで星空全部を自分たちで独占しているよう。
グリーンレーザーを使った星座の説明も分かり易く、みのやん&しんやさんのユーモラスな(?)ガイドも最高でした。

道中高所となり体が冷えるタイミングでいただく味噌汁も、心から温まる一品です。

星空のツアーをお探しの方には間違いなくお勧めのツアーです。

Haleakala Adventure Tour

Thanks so much for showing us so many of the nicest parts of Maui. Charles, our tour guide, showed us around the island, while filling us in on the political and natural history of the area. It seemed to us that this was a wonderful way for first time visitors like us to get an overview of Maui.

Things we especially liked about this tour: being picked up at our hotel promptly at 7am, as advertised; the view from the top of Haleakala; the opportunity to see rare plants and birds on the mountain, such as silversword plants in bloom, and the unique Hawaiian Geese (Nene); our guide's amazing knowledge of the places we saw and their history; the wonderful lunch at Casanova's in Makawao; the beautiful scenery around the park at the Io Needle.

The opportunity to take this tour with a knowledgable guide and driver was wonderful. It permitted us to concentrate on the scenery, rather than worrying about driving on unfamiliar roads and trying to read a map and sightsee at the same t

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>

Unexpected! 予想外!

Reviewed by: mauifan

Initially, I signed up because I wanted to watch the sunset from the mountain with my family, but I was surprised by the experience! I got to see the rare silver sword plant that only blooms once every few decades, and we had the chance to do serious stargazing with a telescope (we even saw shooting stars!). Above all, the explanations provided by Mr. Yamauchi, with his extensive knowledge of astronomy, were truly moving.

The only regret was that the sunset was hidden by clouds, but I had a wonderfully fulfilling time. I've heard that Hawaii is known as a mecca for stars, and it seems like many stars can be observed here. Until now, I only had the image of Hawaii as a place for marine sports, so this was a new discovery for me. Later, when I asked a few Japanese residents living in Maui, it seems that Mr. Yamauchi's stargazing sessions are quite famous.

最初は家族で山からサンセットを見られるということで申込みましたが、参加してみてびっくり!
数十年に一度しか開花しない銀剣草の花を見られたり、本格的な望遠鏡での天体観測ができたり(流れ星も見えました!)、そしてなにより山内さんの豊富な天文知識による解説が感動的でした。
唯一、サンセットが雲に隠れて見えなかったのが心残りですが、すごく充実した時間を過ごせました。
ハワイは星のメッカと言われているらしく、たくさんの星が観測できるようです。これまで、ハワイにはマリンスポーツのイメージしかなかった私には、新たな発見でした。
後でマウイ在住の日本人数人に聞いたところ、山内さんの天体観測は結構有名みたいです。

Thank you for your message, Maui Fan.
I appreciate you joining the star enthusiast tour. (laugh)
I believe that when you enter that natural planetarium (which we call Tenpura), everyone becomes one and can regain a sense that they had forgotten.
It really makes you forget about the little worries, doesn’t it?
Please come back to Maui to see the stars again.

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 luau show right in front of me. 目の前で見るルアウショー

Reviewed by: ウッチー

For our family's last dinner on the trip, we enjoyed a luau show. Compared to the evening show at the Polynesian Cultural Center that we had seen before, this show was smaller and more compact, but we enjoyed the powerful dances right in front of us. The food was also surprisingly delicious, and we were very satisfied. There were several newlywed couples from the UK and the US who were enjoying the dance as introduced by the host. The Western audience was really responsive to the host's calls, and it made me feel that I want to improve my English communication skills.

This time, we drove from our hotel in South Kohala to Kailua-Kona, parked at a shopping center, and after strolling around downtown Kona, we watched the luau show. I was relieved that we didn't get lost and were able to participate.

家族旅行の最後の夕食で、ルアウショーを楽しみました。以前に見たポリネシア文化センターのイブニングショーと比べ、少人数でコンパクトなショーでしたが、舞台が目前にあって迫力ある踊りを楽しみました。また、食事も期待以上においしく食べることができ満足しました。英米圏の新婚カップルが何組か来ており、司会者の紹介でダンスを楽しんでいました。欧米の人は、本当に楽しそうに逐一司会者の呼びかけの反応しており、自分ももっと英語のコミュニケーションが取れるようになりたいと感じました。
今回は、サウスコハラのホテルから、レンタカーでカイルアコナへ出かけ、ショッピングセンターの駐車場に車を置いて、コナ街中を散策した後、ルアウショーを見ました。道に迷うこともなく、参加することができほっとしました。
