Hawaii
This evening was very crowded, not our style but we did like the firework show from the boat.
You are tightly seated within other groups, but regardless of that the crew and entertainment are fantastic.
fun, good food, and right at hotel so we loved the ease!
We used our phone flashlights on the way up, it was quite early but still worth it as it is a great way to start the morning.
Our family loved it, as we love the e-bikes to keep the speed up, but get around the park at a good pace!
I have been to Hawaii several times, but I had a feeling that the impression of Japanese people might not be good, so I somewhat avoided it. However, after actually going, I found that this was completely untrue. I enjoyed it just as much as any other activity.
This time, due to time constraints, I only visited the USS Missouri, but I would like to consider visiting other facilities next time. However, please note that tickets for the Arizona Memorial are on a waitlist online for same-day entry, so you cannot wait in line without a mobile phone.
The USS Missouri itself is full of highlights, and even rushing through, it took quite a bit of time. I was able to understand well what it was like when this ship was in active service.
何度かハワイには来ていますが、日本人に対する印象が良くないかもと思い、何となく敬遠していました。実際に行ってみて全くそんなことはありませんでした。他のアクティビティと何ら変わることなく楽しめました。
今回時間の制約があったので戦艦ミズーリのみの見学でしたが、次回は別の施設の訪問も検討したいです。ただし、アリゾナ記念館は当日の入場券はネットでの順番待ちなので携帯がないと順番待ちも出来ません。
実際のミズーリ号は見どころ満載で、駆け足で見て回っても結構時間がかかりました。この艦が現役だった頃の様子が良く分かりました。
I took the bus from Honolulu, which took just under an hour. I think the time is not much different from a tour bus. You can't bring your luggage during the visit, so I paid $7.00 to check it, but tha
私はホノルルから1時間弱かけてthe busを利用して行きました。時間的にはツアーバスと然程変わらないと思います。見学時には手荷物は持ち込めないので、$7.00掛払って預けましたが、ちょっと高いですね

My first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was filled with uncertainties, but it was comfortable. There was a pickup at the hotel and meals included. Considering the cost of living, the price seems reasonable. They accurately took us to several attractions. The highlight was stargazing. The view was truly amazing. It was quite cold, but they provided warm clothing, so you can rest assured about that. English is quite difficult, so a certain level of proficiency is necessary.
初のハワイ島の旅で分からないことだらけでしたが快適でした。ホテルでのピックアップと、お食事付きです。価格は物価を考えれば妥当と思います。いくつかの名所を的確に回ってくれます。ハイライトは星空鑑賞。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。かなり寒いですが防寒具も用意されているのでそこもご安心ください。英語はかなり難しいので、ある程度のごりょくはひつようです。

BK was our tour guide and driver. I know now why he was Driver of the Year in 2023. Very knowledgeable on every facet of the tour. It was our first trip to Honolulu and he provided an excellent dialogue on everywhere we visited. (and even some we didn’t!) The bus was exceptionally clean and comfortable and our scheduled pickup was exactly on time at both ends of the tour.
Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!
After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!
As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!
On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!
There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの辺りに来てもなかなかクジラの姿が見えないので、今日は見ることができないかもと少し諦めた時に、すっごく遠くに潮吹きが見えました。その瞬間、船がクジラの方に向かってすごいスピードで進んでいき、クジラが見える所まで近づいてくれました！
その後も、クジラの泳ぎを遮らないように、並走してくれて、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにクジラを見る方ができました。とても感動した瞬間でした！
船が港へ戻り出した為、他の乗客は船内に戻って行きましたが、ずっとクジラを見ていると、かなり離れていましたが、クジラの大ジャンプを見ることができました！！
帰り途中にも2グループのクジラを見る方ができたので、潮吹きを探してみると良いと思います。
乗船後に提供された軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドもとても美味しく、紅茶やコーヒーと一緒に船内で食べることができました！
クジラの説明など日本語でのアナウンスもきちんとありますので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。生き物ですので毎回見られるとは限りませんが、多少遠くても船が近づいていってくれるので、参加して良かったと思います！
I went up to the top deck, making sure I could see from either side of the ship. Also, when the ship starts to head back, everyone tends to go back inside, but I think it's better to stay and watch be
最上階に上り、船の左右のどちらからでも見えるようにしていました。また、船が帰り出すと皆んな船内に戻りがちですが、そのまま見ているよと大ジャンプをしていたので見続けた方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. It's great that you enjoyed the snacks on board and the views of Waikiki. We also appreciate your very positive review. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I was worried that my daughter, who easily gets seasick because it's a large ship, might have a hard time, but despite taking motion sickness medication, she ended up feeling sick. 😭 She couldn't even go out on deck and just sat in a chair, waiting for the return to port. I don't know why the medication didn't work, but it was unfortunate, especially since she was looking forward to it more than anyone. 😒
We were able to see whales a few times, although from a distance. 😊👌
大型船なので船酔いし易い娘でも大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにもかかわらず酔ってしまいました😭
デッキにも出られず椅子に座りきりで、ひたすら帰港を待っていました。
なぜ酔い止めが効かなかったのかわかりませんが、気の毒でした。
娘の方が楽しみにしていたので😒
鯨は遠目ですが、何回か見ることができました😊👌
I think it's better to firmly imprint the sight of the whale in your memory. If you try to capture it on camera or video, you might miss the precious opportunity to witness it.
鯨は目にしっかり焼き付けたほうが良いと思います。
カメラやビデオに撮ろうとすると、せっかくの目撃チャンスを逃してしまうかも❓
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very sorry to hear that your daughter, who was looking forward to this cruise, was not feeling well, but we are glad that you were able to observe whales. We hope you will visit us again.

The river cruise to the fern grotto was a lot of fun. The local info shared was insightful and gave us several other sites to see. The entertainment was well done and fun. The walk up to the grotto was beautiful! All in all, a great outing that was a lot of fun.
A truly unique experience. As you board the spacious and comfortable bus in Waikiki the staff prepares you for your journey. You are given a virtual reality headset that is adjustable and comfortable. The virtual reality is interactive, and educational. As the bus is moving it actually feels like your body is moving through the experience. The colors, animals, and sounds felt so real!
Would not recommend if you are prone to motion sickness. Would recommend if you are interested in virtual reality, and enjoy a fun ride. Comparable to a smooth rollercoaster.
The food and entertainment was great! It was a great way to renew our wedding vows and the Captains were fantastic. Such beautiful views and the atmosphere and all the employees were fantastic.
This was the best tour we’ve ever been on! Marie was fantastic and a wealth of really interesting knowledge! We all learned so much history and she took us to many great sights! Highly recommend Blue Hawaii tours!
Just do it! You will not be disappointed!
Aloha Lana,
Thank you for your review. I'm so happy you enjoyed your tour.

This was a very traditional Hawaiian experience. Enjoyed it very much!
I participated in February. At first, I was really wondering if I would be able to see them, but I was able to see four of them! When we went out to sea, they stopped the boat's engine and drove slowly and quietly, which allowed us to see two of them up close. I was moved by their size. They seemed to be playing together, possibly a mother and her child or siblings.
Before heading out to sea, we listened to explanations about safety and the characteristics and ecology of humpback whales inside the boat. I read in reviews that there would be staff who spoke Japanese, but it seemed there weren't any when we participated. I was with a friend who spoke English, so she briefly explained the content to me, but I thought it would be nicer if there were written explanations in various languages available (though I could generally understand without them).
The pineapple cake served as a snack was delicious, and I ended up asking for a second helping!
2月に参加しました。初めは本当に見ることができるのかなあと思っていましたが、4頭、本当に見ることができました！ 沖に出ると船のエンジン？を止めてゆっくり静かに運転してくれて、それによってそのうち2頭はすぐ間近で見ることができ、大きさを目の当たりにして感動しました。親子なのか兄弟なのか、2頭で遊んでいるようでした。
出航後沖に出るまでは、船内で、安全についての説明やザトウクジラの特徴や生態についての説明を聞きます。日本語が話せるスタッフがいると口コミに書かれていましたが、私たちが参加した際はいないようでした。英語が話せる友人と一緒だったので、彼女に内容を簡単に教えてもらいましたが、各言語の説明書きなどが置いてあるとより親切かなと思いました。（なくても大体分かりますが）
サービスのパイナップルケーキが美味しくて、おかわりしてしまいました！
The air conditioning inside the ship is effective, but on the deck, the direct sunlight and reflection from the sea are strong, so I think it's good to have something to wear over your clothes and sun
船内は冷房が効いているのと、デッキの上は直射日光と海上からの照り返しが強いので、羽織るものとサングラスがあるといいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your friends. We're glad you were able to see four whales. We're also pleased to hear that you enjoyed the snacks on board. Please do visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

We went all the way to Diamond Head and anchored for a long time near Waikiki Beach. They said there were whales, but even after anchoring for almost an hour, we couldn't see any. It's said that whale breathing lasts 20 to 40 minutes, so if they were nearby, we should have been able to see them... I felt the same while looking from the hotel at Waikiki Beach. From this point, it seems like you could see them with a telescope from places like the Hyatt & Beach or Sheraton.
ダイアモンドの先まで行き、ワイキキビーチ行きで長く停泊。クジラがいるということでしたが、1時間近く停泊したが見えなかった。
クジラの呼吸は20〜40分と言われているため、近くにいるなら見えるはずだが…。
ワイキキビーチ沖ではホテルから眺めても同じと感じた。 このポイントならHYATT&Beachやシェラトンなどからなら望遠鏡で見えそうです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. While it was unfortunate that you didn't see any whales on this trip, I am confident that you enjoyed the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat during the morning cruise. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you again.

Although the clouds and full moon made it difficult to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky, Yamapi's thoughtfulness and conversation were excellent. I definitely want to try again.
雲が多いのと満月で綺麗な夕日や満天の星空は残念でしたが、ヤマピーさんのお心遣いと会話は最高でした。又是非トライしたいと思います
This tour is recommended on dark nights in July and August. Additionally, there is a smoking area at the summit, which is appreciated by smokers, but only if a fire is lit.
このツアーは7月8月で闇夜の日がお勧めです。それと喫煙者にはありがたい山頂にも喫煙所はあります。但し火が点けばですが。

It was a very nice bus, and there was a restroom, so it was comfortable. The driver, who also served as the guide, was enthusiastic and entertaining. Since it was an English tour, I only understood parts of it, but I still enjoyed it even though my English isn't great.
However, we visited many places, so the time spent at each location was short, and waiting in line for the restroom further reduced our sightseeing time, which was a bit unsatisfying. The malasadas we had along the way were delicious.
凄く立派なバスでお手洗いもあったので、快適でした。運転兼ガイドの方も説明も熱心で面白かったです。英語のツアーなので、所々しかわからなかったのですが...
英語が不得意でもたのしめました。
ただ、沢山回るのでそれぞれの滞在時間が短くて、トイレに並ぶと見学時間が余計に短くなってしまい、ものたりなかったです。
途中で頂いたマラサダま美味しかったです。
Each stay is short, so be careful not to be late for the meeting time if you don't move quickly.

A packed itinerary with Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and Haleiwa.
The driver was very kind and shared various stories about Hawaii to keep us entertained during the ride.
The horseback riding staff only spoke English, but the driver, who had experience with horses, provided a thorough explanation beforehand, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries.
It was a pleasant time swaying on a smart polo horse while looking at the magnificent ocean of the North Shore.
Haleiwa is larger than I expected, so it might be a good idea to decide in advance where to go.
ドールプランテーション→乗馬→ハレイワと盛りだくさんのコース。
ドライバーさんもとても親切で道中飽きないようにハワイのさまざまなお話をしてくださいました。
乗馬は英語のみのスタッフですが、馬を飼っていたこともあるドライバーさんが事前に丁寧に説明してくださっていたので、不安なく楽しめました。
ノースショアの壮大な海を見ながら賢いポロ経験の馬に揺られて気持ちの良い時間でした。
ハレイワの町は思ったより広いのでどこに行くか事前に決めておくといいかも。
They lend you a bag that can be hooked onto the saddle for valuables and a water bottle, so I put my things in there.
Since the sand tends to kick up near the beach, it's better to wear glasses or su
乗馬の時は貴重品や水筒だけ鞍に引っかけるバッグを貸してもらえるのでそれに入れました。
どうしても砂浜近くは砂が舞い上がるのでコンタクトよりメガネ、もしくはサングラスなどあった方がよいです。
Thank you for participating in the beach horseback riding and North Shore tour with Island Makana Tours. The horseback riding tour is very popular with us, and I believe the views you see with the horses will become wonderful memories. When you come to Hawaii again, please consider using Island Makana Tours. Mahalo!

The bus driver provided various explanations while driving, which made the experience very enjoyable. He was a kind person who loved Japan. Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation were such attractive places that we didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted! 🎶
バスの運転手さんがずーっと色んな説明しながら運転してくださってとても楽しかったです。日本が大好きというとても優しい方でした。
ハレイワタウンもドールプランテーションもしたいことするには時間が足らなかったぐらい魅力的な場所でした🎶
If you want to try Matsumoto Shave Ice, you might want to line up right away. The queue was getting longer and longer.
マツモトシェイブアイスを食べたい方はすぐに並んだ方がいいかも？どんどん列が長くなっていました。

I participated with my son and wife. They picked us up at the hotel at 2:20 PM. There were two other Americans from Minnesota joining the tour, making a total of five participants. Our guide, James, explained about the Big Island in a mix of Japanese and English while driving. The area near the summit of Mauna Kea felt like a different world, resembling a desert or the moon, and the sunset view from there was amazing. We could see famous facilities like the Subaru Telescope up close, which made me feel the reality of being on the Big Island. Unfortunately, due to being close to a full moon, we couldn't see the Milky Way well during stargazing, but we were able to use the telescope to view Jupiter and the moon. James was always attentive, which made me feel safe participating.
息子と妻と私の３人で参加しました。ホテルに午後２時２０分に迎えに来てくれました。ツアーには他にミネソタからのアメリカ人２名が参加し合計５名の参加者でした。ガイドのジェームズさんは運転しながら日本語交じりの英語でハワイ島について説明してくれました。マウナケア山頂付近は、砂漠のような月のような（？）別世界で、そこから見るサンセットは素晴らしかったです。有名なすばる望遠鏡などの有名な施設がまじかに見られ、ハワイ島にやってきた実感がわきました。星空観測はあいにく満月に近かったため、天の川はよくわかりませんでしたが望遠鏡を使って木星や月を見ることができました。ガイドのジェームズさんには常に気配りをしていただき、安心して参加できました。
I think it's better to plan for the next day with some flexibility, as returning to the hotel around 10 PM can be quite tiring.
ホテルに帰るのが夜10時ころになり、かなり疲れるので翌日は余裕をもった予定にしたほうが良いと思います。

The way this show was organized and put together was amazing. We enjoyed every aspect of the show. They made it feel like you were a part of the performance the entire time. The only reason I gave the good rating was because the photographer didn't take enough time arranging our family of 17 so you could see everyone in the photo. Also she quickly snapped the two pictures before we were ready so eyes were closed in both pictures. We also wanted individual family photos and she wouldn't do it for us. She would have made more money by all of us buying a photo package. The food was OK, it was a little cold and the pork was dried out.
Plan extra time to get there from Waikiki. Traffic is terrible.
It included transportation, but since it didn't stop at our hotel, we walked to the hotel across the street. The large bus arrived on time and took us to the boarding area!
As soon as we got off the bus, we boarded the boat and took some commemorative photos! Later, a staff member came around to show us the pictures they took! We decided to purchase one as a keepsake (laughs). Then, we enjoyed the breakfast we had been looking forward to. The morning coffee was really great!
Inside the boat, the air conditioning was on, so I think short sleeves might feel a bit cold.
We received an explanation about the whales from the captain and headed to the deck! The blue of the ocean was something you can't feel in Japan, and the view of Waikiki getting farther away! Plus, Diamond Head was clearly visible! I was already satisfied with just that.
And on that day, we were able to see whales! In fact, multiple times!!! We even encountered a mother and baby whale! There is a limit to how close you can get, so they were a bit far, but we could still see them!
The captain announced the direction of the whales, so everyone moved in unison to follow the report. Even if you don't understand English, you'll be fine just following everyone!
Before we knew it, it was time to disembark, and we took the bus back to the hotel.
Personally, I thought it was really great! It was nice to relax on the boat in the Hawaiian sea, and seeing the whales was truly moving! Since it was a large boat, I don't think you would get seasick (but it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case).
There were plenty of restrooms! They weren't super clean, but it was totally fine! I want to go again!
送迎付きでしたが、自分たちのホテルには止まらなかったので向かい側にあるホテルまで歩きました🌴時間通りに大型バスが迎えに来てくれて、乗り場まで連れてってくれました！
バスに降りてすぐに船に乗り、まずは記念撮影！後ほど、係の人が回ってきて撮った写真を見せてくれます！私たちは記念に購入しました（笑）そして、楽しみにしてた朝食をいただきました🍍朝のコーヒーがめちゃくちゃよかったです☕️
船の中はクーラーがかかっていたので半袖は少し寒いと思います。
船長からクジラの説明を受け、デッキへ！
日本では感じられない海の青さ、遠くなっていくワイキキの街並み！そしてダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見える！これだけで満足でした😆
そしてこの日はクジラを見ることができました！しかも何回も！！！🐳親子のクジラにも遭遇しました！近づける範囲が決まってるので若干遠くはありますが見える！！！
船長が◯時の方向だよとアナウンスしてくれるので、みんなその報告を受けて一斉に移動📢英語がわからなくてもみんなについていけば大丈夫です！！！
あっという間に下船になり、バスに乗ってホテルへ戻りました。
個人的にはめちゃくちゃよかったです！とにかくハワイの海で船に乗りながらのんびりできたのもよかったし、クジラも見れて感動しました！大きな船なので船酔いもしないかなと思います！（一応酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が🙆♀️）
トイレもたくさんありました！すごく綺麗なわけではないですが、全然大丈夫です！また行きたいです🌴🤙
Surprisingly, it's cold inside the ship! You'll need something to wear over your clothes!
意外と船内は寒い！羽織るもの必要！

I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, and until now, my visits were primarily for golfing. However, as I've gotten older (79 years old) and my companions have diminished, this time I went with my wife and two of her friends.
At the women's request, we went whale watching for the first time. I couldn't understand the guide's English, but I could feel the boat's determination to chase after the whales. Unfortunately, we couldn't encounter them up close, but we did catch a glimpse of a black whale breaching in the distance, along with a faint spout of water.
While I wasn't completely satisfied, the anticipation was definitely there. On the way back, the sight of the white waves crashing against the coastline of the Big Island was a breathtaking view that you can't see from the ground. However, the boat's light snack was just a single pasta dish, which was disappointing.
ハワイは20回近くいっていますが、今まではゴルフ目的でしたが、歳を重ね(79歳)同伴者がいなくなり今回は妻と妻の友達２人でした。
女性陣の希望で初めてホエールウォッチングをしました。
ガイドは英語で理解出来ませんでしたが、船は懸命にクジラを追っているな感じは伝わって跳ねるきましたが、近くでの遭遇出来ず、遠くで微かに吹き上がる潮と跳ねる黒いクジラが一瞬見られました。
大満足は出来ませんでしたが、期待感は十分でした。
帰路船からみるハワイ島の海岸に打ち上げてある白い波しぶきは地上では見られない迫力ある光景でした。
船の軽食はパスタが一品だけで期待ハズレでした。
Before boarding, there is a process to input personal information into the computer, which took some time. Therefore, I think it's best to arrive with plenty of time before your boarding time.
乗船前に個人情報等をＰＣに入力する作業があり、時間がかかりましたので、乗船時間は余裕を持って行かれると良いと思います。
ご参加いただき、初めてのクジラ観察の冒険を共にしていただき、ありがとうございます。また、体験を共有していただき、心より感謝申し上げます。ビッグアイランドの海岸線の素晴らしい景色を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思いますが、クジラの目撃は時には距離があることもあることを理解しています。これらの素晴らしい生き物は自然の生息地で自由に動いていますので、私たちは誇り高いNOAA準拠のツアーオペレーターとして、クジラの安全と健康を確保するために、少なくとも100ヤードの距離を保ちながら、最高の観賞機会を提供しています。
スナックの提供についてのご意見も感謝いたします。お客様の体験を向上させるために、常に努力しているため、今後の参考にさせていただきます。ボディグローブクルーズをお選びいただき、ありがとうございます。またの冒険でお迎えできることを楽しみにしています！
Thank you for joining us on your first whale-watching adventure and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your visit and your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views of the Big Island’s coastline, we understand that whale sightings can sometimes be at a distance, as these magnificent creatures move freely in their natural habitat. As a proud NOAA-compliant tour operator, we respectfully maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from whales to ensure their safety and well-being while providing the best viewing opportunities possible.
We also appreciate your feedback on the snack offerings and will take it into consideration as we continually strive to enhance our guest experience. Mahalo for choosing Body Glove Cruises, and we hope to welcome you aboard again for another adventure!

I participated with excitement, knowing that whales come to the waters off Hawaii only during the winter months for calving and raising their young. I was able to see the baby whales a few times! However, they were far away and small, and it was just for a moment, so if I could wish for more, I would have loved to see them even more. Nevertheless, the weather was great, and the cruise itself was very comfortable, allowing me to have the best time. Thank you to all the staff!
鯨が出産、子育てにハワイ沖に来る冬の時期だけということで、ワクワクしながら参加しました。
赤ちゃんを何度か見ることができました！でも遠くて小さい、しかも一瞬なので、欲を言えばもっともっと見たかったです。
ですがお天気もよく、クルーズ自体がとても快適で、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフのみなさん、ありがとう！
Since I tend to get seasick, I took some motion sickness medication before boarding, but the boat was large and stable, so I had no issues at all. I might not have needed the medication after all.
船酔いするタイプのため酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が大きく安定していて全く問題ありませんでした。酔い止めはいらなかったかもしれません。

I wasn't confident about renting a car on my first trip to Kauai, so I signed up for this tour. It was great to be able to visit all the sightseeing spots in just one day. The guide explained everything well, but since it was in English, I couldn't understand. However, since it was a relaxed tour as long as I kept track of the meeting time, it wasn't a problem that I didn't understand English. I wasn't very familiar with the transportation situation in Kauai, but I was able to get to the golf course and the market without any issues using Uber.
初めてのカウアイ島でレンタカーするのは自信がなかったので、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。 １日で行きたい観光地を回れてとてもよかったです。 ガイドさんはよく説明してくれましたが、英語なのでわかりませんでした。 集合時間をおさえておけばゆったりなツアーなので、英語がわからなくても問題ありませんでした。 カウアイ島の交通事情がよくわからなかったのですが、ゴルフ場やマーケットにはウーバーで問題なく行くことができました。
アロハ、そして五つ星のレビューをありがとうございます！
カウアイ島への初めての訪問を楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しく思います。また、ツアーが一日で行きたい場所をすべて見ることを可能にしたことも嬉しいです。言語が時には障壁になることを理解しており、リラックスしたペースと全体的な体験についてのあなたの優しい言葉に心から感謝しています。ツアー以外でUberを使って移動するのが簡単だったことも良かったですね。またお迎えできることを楽しみにしており、世界中からのお客様に楽しんでいただけるよう、今後も最善を尽くしてまいります。

I made a reservation based on reviews, but honestly, I feel like I made a mistake. The driver was most enthusiastic about sharing personal stories, while the information that Japanese tourists typically seek was mentioned only briefly and felt obligatory (it seemed like a line he says every time). There wasn't much local information shared, and when I asked questions, I felt like I was being brushed off. I'm sorry, but the conversation was not enjoyable at all. Due to a lack of consideration, several places I wanted to visit and things I wanted to do were not fulfilled. While it may have functioned as just a transportation service, I believe that one of the appeals of a private charter is to have local people guide you, and that aspect was not met. There were almost no arrangements made for taking photos after getting out of the car.
Additionally, although it was an 8-hour plan, it seemed like we wrapped up quite early, possibly due to a discount campaign. I was disappointed because we could have made a few more stops with the remaining time, but it felt like the driver wanted to go home early.
To sum up, I will definitely not be repeating this experience. It may depend on who the driver is and their mood that day, but for the price paid, I would definitely recommend choosing another option for this level of service. Overall, it was disappointing.
口コミなどを踏まえて予約しましたが、終わった感想としては、正直間違ったな〜と思っています。
ドライバーさんは自分の身の上話が1番テンション高く、日本人の観光客が求めているような情報は義務的にチラッと話す程度（毎回言ってるセリフなんだろうな〜という感じ）。現地情報もあまり出てこず、何か質問してもはぐらかされ。ごめんなさい、お話が全然楽しくなかったです。行きたかった場所ややりたかった事も、配慮のなさによりいくつか叶わず。ただの送迎としては機能していたかもしれないですが、こういう貸切チャーターって現地の人にガイドしでもらえるのも醍醐味の一つかと思うのですが、そこは満たされませんでした。車から降りて写真を撮ってくれるといった計らいもほぼ皆無です。
また、8時間プランでしたが割引キャンペーン適用になっていたせいか、結構早めに切り上げられました。余っていた時間でもう少し寄り道できたのに、と残念ですが、ドライバーさんは早めに帰りたかった感じを受けました。
長くなりましたが、リピートは絶対に無いです。ドライバーさんが誰なのか、またその日の気分にもよるのかもしれませんが、この値段払ってこのサービスなら絶対他を選んだ方が良いです。総じて残念でした。

当日も、希望があればなんでもヅケヅケと言った方が良いかもしれない。

This was my third trip to Hawaii, and for the first time, I participated in a solo trip. The large bus arrived right on time at the Sheraton hotel 🚌. This time, the tour was made up entirely of international guests.
When we boarded the Star of Honolulu, the captain welcomed us. There was a photo opportunity with the crew as we entered the ship. Later, the crew developed the photos and offered them for sale. I think it was around $26. Many people chose not to buy them, but I purchased one as a keepsake. By the way, they only accept credit cards.
Once on board, I quickly enjoyed some drinks and light snacks. There was a booklet with explanations about whales in Japanese, which I skimmed through, followed by an explanation from the captain about the whales. As the ship set sail, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was absolutely wonderful.
After a while, the captain announced over the intercom, "There are whales at the direction of ◯ o'clock (in English)," and everyone hurriedly pointed their cameras to look. Fortunately, we encountered a mother and calf whale. It was a bit disappointing that we only saw them spouting water and didn’t get to see any larger movements, but just being able to encounter them was great. I made sure to capture it on video.
We were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best cruising experience!
ハワイ渡航歴3回目にして、初めてひとり旅で参加。シェラトンのホテルまで大型バスが時間きっちり到着🚌
今回は海外の方ばかりのツアーでした。
スターオブホノルル号乗船の時に船長が出迎え。
船内に入る際にクルーから記念撮影があります。
後でクルーが現像してくれて販売してくれます。たしか26$だったかな。
買わない人が多かったですが、私は記念に購入。
ちなみにクレジットカードのみです。
船内に入って早速飲み物と軽食をいただきました。日本語のクジラの説明などが書いた冊子がありさらっと読んだ後、船長からクジラに関する説明。
船が出航し、海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもよかったです。
しばらくすると、船長が船内放送で「◯時の方向にクジラがいます(英語)」と放送されるとみんな慌ててカメラを向けて探します。
運良く親子のクジラに遭遇できました。
今回は潮吹きだけで、大きい仕草を見れなかったのは残念でしたが、遭遇できただけでもよかったです。
しっかり動画に収めました。
お天気にも恵まれ最高のクルージングになりました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. The photos you purchased will surely become a cherished memory of your trip to Hawaii. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。購入されたお写真もハワイ旅行の大切な記念となるでしょう。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

Waking up early was tough, but it was definitely worth it! At Diamond Head, they lend you hand lights, so you don't need to bring anything. The view from the top was amazing! I also got to see many beautiful sights at the beach and in nature. Jonah shared the scenery, delicious restaurants, and information about Hawaii while driving, making the journey very enjoyable. Haleiwa Town on the North Shore was a great place for shopping at famous stores like Patagonia and enjoying acai bowls, which left me very satisfied! The nuts from the macadamia nut farm were delicious, and before I knew it, I had bought a lot of souvenirs (laughs). At the coffee farm I was aiming for, there were so many coffee beans to choose from that time flew by!
I highly recommend joining the tour for anyone who is considering it!
朝早くから大変ですが早起きしたかいがありました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドではハンドライトも貸してもらえるため必要なものは何もありません。
頂上からの景色は最高でした！
そのほかにもビーチや自然のなかで素敵な景色をたくさん見られました。
ジョナさんが運転中にも見える景色や美味しいお店、ハワイのことを紹介してくれる為、移動中もとても楽しめました。
ノースショアのハレイワタウンはpatagoniaなどの有名店でのショッピングやアサイーボウルも食べられ、大満足でした！
マカダミアナッツ農園のナッツもおいしく、気づけばお土産をたくさん買っていました(笑)
お目当てのコーヒー農園では、たくさんのコーヒー豆があり、よりどりみどりで時間が過ぎるのがあっという間でした！
ツアーに参加するか迷っている人はぜひ参加をオススメします！
