Hawaii
the bus guides are great to keep you interested during the ride, making it a full around tour
Aloha and mahalo for your 5-star review!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Highlights Tour. It’s wonderful to hear that our bus guides kept you engaged throughout the ride and helped make it a well-rounded experience. Sharing Hawai‘i’s history and culture with our guests is something we take great pride in.
We truly appreciate you choosing Polynesian Adventure and hope to welcome you aboard again soon!
Warmest aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
Kona sunsets are awesome, definitely our favorite. We loved that we got a night to just take it in while enjoying the ocean and awesome eats
We had a large group, and this was easiest way for us to not have to figure out reservation. Just perfect time for hiking as well!
Great way to start the year, we wish we were back in Hawaii listening to the wonderful local music!
Great tour of the Pearl Harbor grounds and the beautiful history throughout the city area! we appreciate that it is all made easy on a tour
The purpose is to see whales, but it's quite difficult to find them. When we finally spot one, cheers erupt, and we rush over in that direction to look for it. Since it's nature we're dealing with, it's understandable, but we were able to see a spout, a back, and a tail in the distance.
クジラを見る目的なのだが、なかなか探せないです。見つけたときは歓声が上がり、その方向に走り寄って探します。自然が相手だから仕方ないですが、遠くに潮吹きと背中、しっぽを見つけることができました。
You shouldn't have too many expectations. It seems there are times when you can't find anything at all, so I think it's important to have the flexibility to enjoy the cruising experience.
余り期待するといけないです。全く見つからないときもあるようなのでクルージングを楽しむ余裕が必要と思います。
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回の口コミとお写真も有難うございました。次回は是非共クジラの生態が沢山見れると良いですね。また次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
This was truly awe inspiring. It is absolutely a must do, our tour guide Wes was incredible. We can’t rave enough about it
I was able to experience my dream submarine. I felt excited as we dove down. I wish it were a bit cheaper.
あこがれの潜水艦を体験することができました。潜っていくときはワクワクしました。もう少し安ければよいのですが。
The weather on the day was clear, and I was a little worried about whether we would be able to see whales, but there was no need for concern as we were able to see whales multiple times!
On the boat, we enjoyed cake for our meal, and we could also have drinks like coffee and tea, making the two hours very satisfying.
Not only did we see whales that day, but we also spotted dolphins, and we were able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea, making it a valuable experience that went beyond just whale watching.
The energetic staff shared a lot of knowledge about whales after we set sail and provided many interesting facts during the whale watching, which deepened my understanding of these magnificent creatures.
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Honolulu!
当日は快晴で、鯨もちゃんと見られるか少し心配していましたが、心配の必要が無かったくらいに何回もクジラを見ることができました!
船内ではケーキの食事や、コーヒーやお茶などの飲み物も飲むことができて、2時間たっぷりと満足することができました。
当日はクジラだけでなく、イルカも見ることができましたし、海からのワイキキの景色も堪能することができ、ホエールウォッチングにとどまらない貴重な体験をすることができました。
元気なスタッフさんたちが出航してからクジラについての知識や、ホエールウォッチング中もたくさんのクジラに対する豆知識を教えてくださり、とてもクジラに対する造詣を深めることができました。
またホノルルに行く時はぜひ参加したいです!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat (it’s great that you were satisfied for a full two hours and got to see dolphins as well). We also appreciate your very positive review. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
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(2時間たっぷりと満足して頂き、そして、イルカも見れて良かったですね)大変嬉しく思います。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。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。
The ship provided light snacks (coffee, tea, pineapple cake). The pineapple cake was delicious. The actual sailing time was about 2 hours. On this day, we were able to see two humpback whales. The whales came to the surface and spouted water at intervals of about 10 to 15 minutes, so I enjoyed chatting with the foreign people next to me (although I only understood about one-third of the conversation).
I didn't feel much movement while the ship was moving, but when the ship was stopped during whale watching, there was some rocking, so I think those who are prone to seasickness might need motion sickness medication. When the ship returned to the port, there were a few people on board celebrating their birthdays, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday," which felt very international and was really nice.
船内は軽食付き(コーヒー、紅茶、パイナップルケーキ)です。パイナップルケーキが美味しかったです。実際の乗船時間は2時間ほど。この日はザトウクジラを2頭見ることができました。クジラは約10〜15分間隔で水面上に来て潮吹きをしていたので、横の海外の人と談笑しながら楽しみました。(言葉は1/3程度しか理解できなかったですが、)
船が動いているときはそこまで感じなかったですが、ホエールウォッチング中の船が止まっているときは船揺れがあったりするので酔いに弱い人は酔い止めが必要かと思います。船が港へ戻る時に船内で誕生日だった人が数名いて、みんなでハッピーバースデーの歌を歌ってお祝いしていたのが海外らしくてとてもよかったです。
This time, I participated in February. When the sun is shining, a short-sleeved shirt is usually fine, but in shaded areas, on the boat, or inside the bus, there were moments when the wind was strong
今回は2月の参加でした。日差しが射すところだと基本半袖ですが、影がかかる場所、船内、バス車内は風が強かったり空調が効きすぎたりする場面があり羽織れる上着が一枚あれば良いかと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a couple. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and interacting with international guests. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や外国の方々との交流をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。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。
I was unsure whether to rent a car, but I was also anxious about driving overseas, so I decided to use this plan! We left the hotel at 11 AM and arrived about an hour later to participate in the photo mini tour. After the photo mini tour, I was dropped off near Giovanni's, which was very helpful! Since we had plenty of time, I was able to enjoy acai at Matsumoto Shave Ice and Haleiwa Bowl, and I also had a leisurely shopping experience!
レンタカーで行くか迷いましたが海外にて車を運転することが不安もありこちらのプランを使用させていただきました!
11時にホテルを出発し約1時間後に到着しフォトミニツアーに参加しました。
フォトミニツアー終了後、ジョバンニの近くで降ろしてくださり大変助かりました!
時間もたくさんあったので、マツモトシェイブアイスやハレイワボウルにてアサイーを食べ、ショッピングもゆっくり楽しむことができました!
I was looking for a tour to stop by the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout since I didn't rent a car. Our guide Marlon provided a wealth of information about Hawaii, and we were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots across Oahu, which made me very satisfied. Since it was an English-only tour, there were no other Japanese participants, and I felt a bit anxious as it was my first time in Hawaii. However, Marlon spoke English that was easy for Japanese speakers to understand and was fluent in Japanese as well, so having Marlon as a guide is the best for Japanese visitors! The malasadas were delicious, and both the bus and restroom were clean, and the driving was excellent.
レンタカーを借りなかったのでヌウアヌ・パリ展望台へ立ち寄るツアーを探していました。ガイドのMarlonはハワイに関する豊富な情報を提供してくれて、オアフ島全域の観光スポットを効率良く回ることができ、とても満足しました。英語のみのツアーだったので他に日本人はおらず、初めてのハワイで不安でした。しかし、Marlonは日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語を話してくれて、日本語も流暢なので、日本人はガイドがMarlonだと最高です!マラサダもおいしく、バスもトイレも綺麗で、運転も上手でした。
If you have free time, I recommend researching the places you want to visit in advance!
自由時間があるので、事前に行きたい場所を調べておくことをおすすめします!
Thank you very much for participating in our Grand Circle Island Tour as a couple. We are very pleased to hear that you had a fulfilling time on our bus tour. It was truly wonderful that you enjoyed the sightseeing on Oahu as well. We also appreciate your very positive review. We hope you will join us again for a different tour next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のグランドサークルアイランドツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠に有難うございました。
私共のバスツアーで充実したお時間をお過ごし頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。オアフ島観光も楽しくて本当に良かったですね。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。次回も是非また違うツアーにてご参加下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I love the experience and the food is very good, the show was amazing
The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.
送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…
If it was just for the shuttle service, I think it would have been better to find a place that was a bit more affordable. My son and his wife only paid a $5 entrance fee, and the rest was free since t
送迎だけならもう少しお値打ちな所を
探せは良かったかなぁと思いました。
息子夫婦は5ドルの入山料のみであとはトローリーバスで来たので無料でした。
It was amazing to finally see the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea! I was a bit worried that it might be cloudy, but beyond the clouds, there was an incredible view! I'm grateful to the guide who was very kind.
念願だったマウナケアで、サンセットと星空を見ることができて最高でした!!
途中、曇っているかも?と少し心配しましたが、雲を抜けた先に感動的な景色がありました!
とても親切にしてくださったガイドさんに感謝です。
It might be a good idea to prepare for the cold and bring motion sickness medication, as there are some bumpy roads along the way.
しっかり寒さ対策をすることと、途中から揺れる道もあるので酔い止めを持って行くと良いかもしれません。
Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri were a bucket list trip.
Great historical information
Shorten time. We were done by 2:00 pm.
Not picked up until 3:00pm
While slowly taking photos and enjoying the view of the vast ocean, I also spotted dolphins along the way. It was simply wonderful.
大海原を見ながらゆっくりと写真もとりながら、途中でイルカをも見つけました。とにかく、素晴らしかったです。
I was the only Japanese person, but there was no problem at all. It's easy to climb! I recommend it!
日本人は私1人でしたが何の問題もありません。気楽に登れます!お勧めです!
We participated with our small child, and we had a wonderful experience on the boat without any significant rocking. The interior of the boat was clean and spacious, providing a calm atmosphere along with light snacks and drinks.
At the beginning, we had a presentation about whales on the first floor while enjoying some snacks, and afterward, we were free to move around the floors up to the fourth level to look for whales and enjoy the view from the boat.
Although we weren't able to see any whales this time, we received a ticket to board again during this season. All the crew members were very kind, making for a delightful boat trip.
小さな子供も一緒に参加させていただきましたが船も大きく揺れることもなく楽しい船の体験をさせていただきました
船内は清潔で広く落ち着いた中で軽食と飲み物の提供があります
初めに一階部分で鯨の説明や軽食をとりその後自由に四階までのフロアーを移動してクジラの確認や船からの景色を楽しみました
今回は鯨を見ることができませんでしたが今シーズン中の再度乗船券をいただきました
乗員の方みなさん親切にしていただき楽しい船旅ができました
When there is wind, it can feel chilly, so I think having a jacket would be good.
風があると肌寒いので上着があると良いと思います
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your little ones. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy your time with us. We hope that next time you will enjoy whale watching. Please come again; our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズに小さなお子様連れでお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
私共のクルーズでリラックスしたお時間をお過ごし頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。次回は是非とも鯨の観測を楽しんで頂きたいと思っています。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。

If there is wind, it can feel a bit cold, so a light jacket would be good to have.
If there are waves, it can be a bit rocky.
風があると少し寒さ感じますので薄手の上着があれば良いかと
波があると少し揺れます

We didn't see any whales, but we had a great time. The naturalist on board was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal about whales.
The weather was pretty good. We had clear views of Honolulu -- Waikiki and Diamond Head.
The process to check in and check out was smooth and fast.
This is my first visit since elementary school. After learning about the nostalgia and history, the tour is a completely different experience. You can also visit the surrender deck, and although the signing documents are replicas, you can see them. This is the only place where you can meet heroes who participated in the Gulf War. Don't worry about your wife or girlfriend's expressions; just keep moving forward. Make sure to make a reservation.
小学生以来の訪問。懐かしさと歴史を一通り学んだ後の、見学では一味も二味も違う。
サレンダーデッキも見学でき、調印文章も複製ではあるが、みることができる。湾岸戦争まで参加している英雄に会うことができるのはここしかない。奥さんや彼女の顔色を伺ってはいけない、ひたすら前進あるのみ。予約するべし
Since you often face opposition from women, please make your reservation with a strong attitude. Listen to the requiem of the fallen.
女性陣からの反対にあうことが多いので、強気の態度で予約してください。戦没者達のレクイエムに耳を傾けろ
We had a great time learning about the folklore of the island and seeing all the beautiful natural wonders Maui has to offer!
The performance was outstanding , they were engaging from the moment you walked in and out. The food taste good however was cold with exception to the pork and chicken thighs were hot, but sweet potatoes, noodles and rice were cold and we had Royal package and first in line to eat so I was surprised to have those few items cold, the rolls were so delicious so grab 2
Need to expanded different cocktails that are offered with a ticket and/or decrease cost of ones not
We all enjoyed the entertainment and the commentary of your beautiful island.
I could tell there were whales, but I couldn't see them very well. The staff provided warm hospitality, making my experience enjoyable. The banana cake for a light snack had a homemade feel and was delicious. You can choose between tea and coffee.
鯨がいるのは分かりますが、あまりよく見えませんでした。スタッフの方々はあたたかいおもてなしで気分良く過ごすことができました。軽食のバナナケーキも手作りの感じがあって美味しかったです。紅茶がコーヒーが選べます。
If you can't see many whales, it might be a good idea to enjoy it as a cruise instead.
あまり鯨が見えない場合はクルーズとして楽しむといいかもしれません。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that the whales were not very visible, but we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views from the boat and the light snacks. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
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。
クジラがあまりよく見えなかったのが残念ですが、船上からの眺めと軽食をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。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。
On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).
この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを1度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを1度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか?あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか?疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです(コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・)
After the ship set sail, there was an explanation about whales in English on board, and I was able to understand it to some extent using the Google Translate app. Not all the restrooms are available f
出船後船内でクジラの説明が英語でありましたが、グーグルの翻訳アプリで結構拾えて、ある程度理解できました。トイレは全部が使えるわけではなく、鍵のかかっているトイレがあります。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We also appreciate your feedback. It's unfortunate that the weather wasn't very good, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the snacks. We hope you will visit us again on a nice, sunny day next time.
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。
そして、今回のお声を有難うございます。お天気があまり良くなかったのは残念ですが、軽食をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。次回はお天気も良く晴れた日にまたお越しくださいませ。
I was able to observe the sunset and the starry sky from the summit of Haleakalā. The guide provided a wonderful pair of binoculars and a telescope, and we observed the stars while receiving explanations. I saw more stars than I have ever seen before, and I was able to see Saturn beautifully through the telescope, which was very moving. I highly recommend this tour!
ハレアカラの山頂から夕日と星空を観測できました。ガイドさんが立派な双眼鏡と望遠鏡を用意してくれ、星の解説と共に観測しました。今まで観たことがないほどの星が観れ、また望遠鏡を通して土星まで綺麗に観れ、とても感動しました。ぜひおすすめしたいツアーです!
Jackets are available for rent, but it gets cold at night, so please dress warmly!
ジャケットの貸し出しはありますが、夜は冷えるので暖かい格好をしてください!
Riding up to the top of Mauna Kea with James, our tour guide and driver, was interesting and entertaining! James is very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian culture and history; volcanic geology; the telescopes on Mauna Kea; and the night sky. And he always paid close attention to all his customers. A better telescope would have made this tour perfect.
Husband was a US Navy vet and wanted to make sure he paid his respects at the Memorial. Had just enough time and we're not rushed.
My family loved this tour. The activities we fun and well managed. Kevin was a great tour guide.
