All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

We are so glad the we were able to visit.
We learned so much about Pearl Harbor!

This was our first Hawaii visit and first tour on the island. The experience of this tour was well worth it, we had a great time and were able to take plenty of pictures. The communication was very clear on where we would be picked up, the times for each stop on the tour and information on each stop. We had plenty of time at each stop. We recommend the tour and would do it again.

The shuttle was on time and the driver was very friendly.

We ride along the seaside park on a Segway, feeling the refreshing breeze. The guide explains various things about Waikiki along the way, so we never get bored. They also take plenty of photos for us. At one point, my daughter had a little trouble with her Segway and fell, but they handled it well.

海沿いの公園を気持ちのいい風を感じながらセグウェイで進みます。ガイドさんが道中色々とワイキキ事情を説明してくれるので飽きません。写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。途中娘がセグウェイのトラブルで転けましたが、しっかり対応してくれました。

You will slowly ride back and forth along a coastal course that takes about 30 minutes one way. The guide will take photos at beautiful spots along the way. The horseback riding guide only speaks English, but the horses are very well-trained and will walk on their own, so even if you don't speak English, you'll be just fine. It's suitable for those who are riding for the first time as well. It's a very relaxing experience!

片道30分の海沿いのコースををゆっくり往復します。途中の景色が綺麗なところでガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれます。乗馬のガイドさんは英語しか話しませんが、お馬さんがとても慣れていて、勝手に歩いて行ってくれるので英語ができなくてもなんとか大丈夫です。初めて乗馬される方でも問題ないです。とてもほのぼのできますよ〜

It seems that my child really wanted to do this in Hawaii, so our whole family participated! I usually don't exercise and don't ride bikes, so I was quite nervous, but the staff member was kind and taught me patiently, and I was able to ride in just five minutes! The Hawaiian breeze felt amazing, and we talked about how we should have chosen a longer course on our way back! My child loves art, so it seemed to be the most fun for them. We definitely want to do this again next time. Thank you very much! The driver who picked us up was also a lovely lady! Thank you!

子供がハワイで1番やりたかったようで家族全員で参加しまさた！私は普段運動もしないし自転車にも乗らないのでドキドキでしたが、スタッフのお兄さんが優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、５分ですぐに乗れました！ハワイの風は最高に気持ちよく、もっと長いコースにすれば良かったねと話しながら帰りました！子供はアートが好きなので1番楽しかったようです。次回も絶対にやりたいです。ありがとうございました♪送迎の運転手さんもステキなマダムでした！ありがとうございました。

It was raining on the way to the summit, but since we went to a place higher than the clouds, we saw many rainbows. The weather didn't seem to matter at all.

It was very cold at the summit at night, but they lent us coats and blankets, so with sufficient cold protection, we were able to observe the Milky Way and many stars, which made us very satisfied.

山頂までの間雨が降っていましたが、雲より高い場所に行くため、たくさんの虹が見えました。天気は全く気にしなくて良いみたいでした。

山頂夜間はとても寒いですがコート、毛布を貸していただけ、十分な防寒対策の上天の川やたくさんの星を観察でき、非常に満足しました。

Yoshi was a wonderful guide, and he took great care of us on all those winding roads. He thought of everything and provided us water, coats, chairs and even telescopes so we could see the starts. He even helped us set up our phones so we could take pictures of the night sky. This tour would be a must for those visiting Maui.

Before boarding, it was unfortunately raining, but once we got on the boat, the rain stopped and we had clear skies. After enjoying stories from the captain and crew that heightened our excitement about possibly seeing whales, we headed to the deck. While we strained our eyes looking out to sea, we sadly didn’t spot any whales, perhaps they were on their New Year’s break. However, we were able to leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, making for a refreshing cruise. Due to scheduling conflicts, I didn’t receive the next free boarding voucher, but many others did. If the opportunity arises again, I would love to participate.

乗船前にはあいにくの雨が降っていましたが、乗船すると雨があがり晴天に。
鯨に会えるかもしれないドキドキ感をさらに高揚させてくれる船長やクルーのお話しを楽しんだ後、いざデッキへ。
目を凝らしながら沖を眺めるもクジラも正月休みだったのか、残念ながら会えずに帰港となりましたが、沖からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをゆっくり眺めることができ、爽やかなクルーズを楽しみました。
日程の都合で次回の無料乗船バウチャーはもらいませんでしたが、多くの方が発行してもらっていました。
また機会があれば、参加したいなと思います。

I was attracted to participate because of the opportunity to connect with nature. I wasn't really eager to jump into the waterfall pool, but the people around me were kind and encouraged me, so I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be less scary than I expected, and I had a lot of fun. I felt a sense of accomplishment and, for some reason, I felt very refreshed. I didn't think it would be this interesting.

自然に親しめることが魅力で参加しました。滝壺に飛び込むなんて、本当はやりたくない…と乗り気でなかったのですが、まわりの人たちが親切にしてくれて励ましてくれたので、思いきってやってみようと決意しました。思っていたよりも怖くなくて、ワクワクして楽しかったです。達成感があり、何故かとてもスッキリした気持ちになりました。こんなに面白いとは思っていませんでした。

My tour guide, James, was great! He was informative, kind, patient and made the experience fun. Seeing the sunset on a volcano summit and then stargazing afterwards is a bucket list thing that everyone should do! Unforgettable!!!

The pickup at the hotel and boarding went smoothly. Our table was by the window, but since we moved to the deck to actually look outside, I don't think it was necessary to be too particular about it.

People from various countries, including the mainland United States, gathered, creating a lively atmosphere, and the staff kept the energy up right until the countdown.

I found myself dancing at the YMCA, which was a bit out of character for me.

I was surprised at how delicious the steak and lobster were, even better than I had expected.

The fireworks were quite close, featuring star mines and large shells, reminiscent of the Japanese style.

On the way back, it gets crowded, so it's best to move to your bus early.

It was a fun New Year's Eve, and I think I got my money's worth.

ホテルでのピックアップ、乗船まではスムーズ。テーブルは窓際でしたが、実際に外を見るときはデッキに移動するのであまりこだわる必要はないと思います。
アメリカ本土を含めて様々な国からたくさんの人が集まってきており、賑やかで、カウントダウン直前までスタッフが盛り上げてくれます。
YMCAとか、年甲斐もなく踊ってしまいました。
予想していたより料理のメインにでたステーキとロブスターが美味しくて驚きました。
花火も結構近いところで上がります。スターマインや尺玉もある日本式ですね。
帰りは混雑するので自分の乗るバスまで早めのご移動を。
楽しい年越しになりました。料金分は十分楽しんだと思います。

I found information online and on YouTube that some people drive to the summit of Mauna Kea by rental car, so I was hesitant about whether to join a tour, but it was definitely the right choice to participate.

First of all, even with a navigation system, it seems easy to get lost as it gets dark, and returning at midnight while tired from the trip makes it even more challenging. The parking space at the summit is also limited, so I believe joining a tour is the best option. I actually wanted to choose a Japanese tour, but it was fully booked, so I joined the English tour instead. However, when we observed the stars through the telescope, we were at the same location as the Japanese tour by VELTRA, so I was able to listen to the explanations from their tour guide.

The tour I participated in had three Americans and seven Japanese participants. On the way back, it seemed that the local Japanese guide had selected the music, as Japanese hit songs related to the sky (like Ayaka's "Mikazuki" and Checkers' "Hoshikuzu no Stage") were playing, and I secretly enjoyed it while everyone else was sleeping.

ネットやYouTubeでマウナケア山頂までレンタカーで行く方もいらっしゃるとの情報があったので、ツアーに参加するか迷いましたが、参加して正解でした。
まず、山頂まではナビがあったとしても暗くなってくると迷いそうですし、何しろ帰りは真夜中で旅の疲れもあり眠くなります・・・。頂上の駐車スペースも狭く、個人で行くよりツアー参加がベストな選択と思いました。本当は日本語ツアーを選択したかったのですが、定員オーバーで英語ツアーに参加しました。ただ、天体望遠鏡で星を観察する時は同じVELTRAさんの日本語ツアーと同じ場所だったのでそちらのツアーガイドさんの説明を聞くことができました。私が参加したツアーはアメリカ人３人日本人７人でした。帰りの車内ではおそらく現地の日本人ガイドさんが選曲されたのか？空にまつわる邦楽ヒットソング（絢香の三日月やチェッカーズの星屑のステージなどなど）が流れていて、みんなが寝ている間密かに楽しんでいました。

This was a great tour with a knowledgable guide who provided lots of fun and interesting "inside Five-0" production stories. The house is privately owned and it's remarkable to be able to visit, very grateful for the sharing of this special setting. The highlight was a visit from Shawn Mokuahi Garnett who plays Cousin Flippa - just as delightful, funny, and warm as his character. The tour is pure nostalgic fun.

Food was delicious, entertainment beautiful. We had a 2 yo with us and while they provided orange juice for him as his complimentary drink, he received no fork or napkin. When we asked for one, the waiter said he would see if he could find one and never came back. There were also dinner rolls in the table for all except the child. We were told we had to share ours with him.

Cruise was ok.. but not worth the price. The food was ok as some was good and desserts were bad. It was a buffet so you can go back for second of u liked it. No need to dress up. Everyone was in shorts and beach type clothes. .. will I tell someone to do the cruise again- absolutely not. Keep your money. Now the sun set price on the boat was the best thing going it cost $30.. they give u a cool frame . But technically I had the same picture on my phone ..

Surrounded by forests, I was able to experience things that I normally wouldn't. I also got to hear local people's songs, which allowed me to feel the essence of Hawaii.

森林に囲まれ、普段経験できない体験ができました。
現地の方々の歌なども聞くことができ、ハワイを感じることが出来ました。

The sunset and starry sky were amazing.
The sandwich I had at the summit was incredibly delicious.
The warm cocoa was also fantastic.

夕陽も星空も最高です
山頂で食べたサンドイッチが最高に美味しかったです。
あったかいココアも最高でした

We had an amazing tour !!
It was so much fun and worth the money.
The driver was so informative and helped to make the day even more enjoyable 😊
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting!! Also a great tour for those with mobility struggles.

With illegal fireworks killing and injuring people all over Oahu, it was great to be out on the water aboard the Star of Honolulu for its New Year's Eve cruise. The surf and turf dinner was excellent, as was the live entertainment. Beverage service was quite slow; the large number of diners ordering beverages simultaneously clearly overloaded the staff. Prospective participants need to be prepared for the fact that in order to see the midnight fireworks better, hundreds of attendees move to one side of the boat causing it to tilt quite a bit. But that was the only detectable motion; even people with motion sickness could take this cruise. I had a good time and would do it again. The event was a good value, too.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, blessed by good weather! I was able to see a beautiful sunset and a sea of clouds, a sight that is hard to come by in life.

天候にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！
綺麗な夕日と雲海で、人生でなかなか見ることができない光景を見ることができました。

The smiling crew guided us on board, and once we were seated, we were served banana bread along with coffee and tea. After departure, we enjoyed a humorous talk about whales by a naturalist, and then we went out on deck to take in the beautiful blue ocean and the views of Oahu from the sea that we don't usually get to see. Although we didn't encounter any whales, the informative announcements about whales and the Hawaiian sea kept us entertained throughout the cruise. A free voucher for a re-challenge was issued, so I definitely want to return to Hawaii again.

笑顔のクルーが乗船の案内をしてくれて席につくとバナナブレットとコーヒー紅茶のサービスをいただきました。出航後はユーモアたっぷりのナチュラリストによる鯨の話を楽しんだ後にデッキに出て美しいブルーオーシャンと普段見ることのできない海からのオアフ島の景色を堪能できました。肝心の鯨には遭遇しませんでしたが、鯨やハワイの海についての知識など退屈することのないアナウンスで終始クルーズを楽しめました。再チャレンジできる無料のバウチャーが発行されたので、また是非ハワイに戻って来たいと思います。

I attended with my son. At the entrance, a Japanese staff member guided us to our seats in Japanese, and we enjoyed the show right under Aloha Tower.

The meal was a buffet, allowing us to choose what we liked, and I was satisfied because I could eat until I was full.

Of course, the entire show was in English, but the way the host and performers engaged the audience created a great atmosphere! I was particularly impressed by the fire performance. There was a moment when a dancer ran throughout the venue, and I could feel the heat emanating from the torch they were holding on my skin.

The dance was not just a dance; it explained how Hawaiian culture has been built and how it has mixed with the cultures of other island nations, making it educational as well!

I had a wonderful time on New Year's Eve. I want to come back!

息子と2人で参加しました。
入場の時点で日本人スタッフから日本語で席まで誘導され、アロハタワーの真下でショーを楽しめました。

食事もブッフェで、自分の好みのものが選べて、お腹いっぱいに食べられたので満足です。

ショーは勿論全部英語でしたが、司会やパフォーマーの盛り上げ方が上手で、会場全体がいい雰囲気でした！
特に圧巻されたのが炎のパフォーマンス。ダンサーの方が会場全体を走る場面があったのですが、その方の持っている松明から発せられる熱を肌で感じられるほどでした。

ダンスもただのダンスではなく、ハワイの文化がどのように築き上げられてきたか、どのように他の島国の文化が混ざっていったのかを説明しながら踊られていたので、勉強にもなりました！

大晦日の夜、とても楽しく過ごせました。
また来たいです！

It was unfortunate that it rained, but I was happy that they provided raincoats. I was very satisfied with the show itself, and everyone enjoyed it. However, the long wait time at the drink station was a downside.

とうしつ、雨だったことは残念でしたが、雨がっぱを用意していただき、嬉しかったです、ショー自体も大満足で、みんな楽しんでいました、飲み物コーナーが、待ち時間が長かったことが、マイナス点となります

It was a four-course meal, private, on the top floor, and included champagne, which I was very satisfied with. This is my third time, and being able to celebrate the countdown with many people on the boat and watching the fireworks from the ship is the best.

4コース、プライベート、最上階、シャンパン付きでしたが、大変満足出来ました。
3回目ですが、カウントダウンを船上で沢山の人と盛り上がることができる事と、花火を船から見れるのが最高です。

There were a lot of cockroaches near our seats, making it impossible to enjoy our meal. Please be especially careful near the walls. I hope this can be improved.

席の近くにゴキブリが沢山いて食事どころではなかったです。壁の近くは特に気をつけて下さい。改善して欲しいです。

The full course with lobster and steak, along with champagne and cocktails, was great. The fireworks (including those set off by individuals nearby) were more impressive than I expected, and it became a wonderful memory.

ロブスターにステーキのフルコース、シャンパンにカクテルもついて良かったです。
花火は、(周囲の個人で上げる花火もあり)思ったより迫力があり、良い思い出になりました。

We were in Hawaii for my 60th birthday, girl trip! The crew of the cruise were very friendly and we had a great time! Recommend!

The Captain, Holly and Alex were great! I would highly recommend this Snorkeling Trip.

Its just shuttle service to Diamond head
Its a stone throw away from honolulu waikiki, and you coukd have just walk there.
Nothing more of a ferry services.
