We enjoyed every minute of the three event. The musicians, dancers, actors, MC, catering and art vendors were first rate. My parents and kids enjoyed the event. We would come again!

It was nice overall. The staff are friendly and worked hard. Food taste was okay. Generous portion. The boat is small and with waves, my 5 years old got sea sick and was throwing up.

Review
The cruise was very nice. Sunset was perfect. Prime rib was OK. I was expecting more. The chicken was great! Fish, was ok too. I would do the cruise again. I would upgrade to see if the food was better. Buffet was ok for an.overall rating!

The sightseeing was enjoyable, and the explanations in Japanese were easy to understand, but I was disappointed by the number of souvenir shops we visited.

観光は楽しむ事が出来、日本語による説明もわかりやすかったのですが、お土産屋巡りが多くがっかりしました。

The atmosphere was amazing! Looked very high end and it felt like it. Staff was very friendly and had great service. Super romantic dinner cruise that I highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique Hawai’i experience. Food was really good, not the biggest portions, but still we left satisfied. I will say whatever the dessert was, wasn’t very good. The only negative. It was this fruit flavored cake but it tasted like dish soap. Other than that this is a must!! Beautiful scenery and nice cool breeze with excellent food and live entertainment! We did pay for the middle tier I believe so it was the four course meal with two drink tickets. I think anyone would love this.

The guide, Sho-chan, was very considerate, and it was an enjoyable tour. The view above the Onizuka Visitor Center was like a different world, unlike anything else on Earth. I was very satisfied to see the Milky Way, artificial satellites, and shooting stars.

ガイドのショウちやんが色々と気づかってくれて、楽しいツアーでした。オニヅカビジターセンターより上の景色は同じ地球とは思えない景色が拡がっていました。天の川や人工衛星、流れ星も見えて大満足でした。

Since we are visiting various places, the time spent at each location is relatively short, so it may not be suitable for those who want to enjoy things thoroughly. Personally, I was satisfied with the content. In particular, our guide, Daisuke, was friendly and explained things clearly in both English and Japanese. It seems there are various tours available, and I was interested in other tours as well. I think it's a tour I could recommend if someone asks me. I was a bit confused about the tipping, which is not common for Japanese people, but it would be appreciated if it could be included in the price. With that in mind, I can understand putting even one or two dollars into the tip box with a good feeling. Given the current weak yen, when they say 20% of the tour price for tips, it feels very expensive.

色々なところを回る分、一ヶ所の滞在時間が短めなので、じっくり楽しみたい人には向きません。
私的には満足の内容でした。特にガイドのだいすけさんは気さくで、英語と日本語で交互に説明してもらって分かりやすかったです。
色々ツアーがあるようで他のツアーにも興味がありました。
知り合いに聞かれたらおすすめできるツアーだと思います。日本人には馴染みのないチップには戸惑いましたが、できれば代金に含めてもらえるとありがたいです。その上で、１ドルでも２ドルでも気持ち良くチップボックスに気持ちを入れるのが納得できます。円安のおりなので、ツアー代金の20%とか言われるととても高く感じてしまいます。

The plan included a bus pickup, so there were no particular inconveniences getting to the location. The whales were different from what I had imagined, but I think it was nice to have a wonderful boat trip. The boat felt rockier than I expected. Some people were sitting, but most were on the deck on the third floor watching. They announced when we were likely to see whales, so we could spot them quickly, but most of what we saw were just tails or backs, and we couldn't really see the full picture as I had imagined. However, the weather was nice, and it was a fun boat trip, so I was happy with it.

バスでお迎えに来てくれるプランだったので現地までは特に不自由ありませんでした。
クジラは想像していたのとは違いましたが、素敵な船旅ができたので、まあよかったかなと思います。船内は思ったより揺れていた気がします。座っているひともいましたが、ほとんどは３階とかのデッキで見ていました。クジラが出そうなところをアナウンスしてくれるのですぐ見れるのですが、ほとんどがしっぽだけとか背中だけで、なかなか想像していたような全体像をみることはできませんでした。
でも天気が良く楽しい船旅だったので良かったです。

Thanks to our friendly guide, I was able to enjoy my first Segway experience. The two hours flew by in no time.

It was refreshing to feel the wind while gliding along. I could comfortably ride the Segway through sidewalks, parks, and coastal paths that would have been too far to walk and inaccessible by car.

The explanations related to the shops, plants, nature, sports, shopping centers, and universities along the way were also very interesting. During breaks, the guide took family photos for us, and at Kaka'ako Water Park, they even filmed videos, creating wonderful memories.

I greatly appreciated the detailed recommendations for restaurants and shops. At the end, they provided a guideline for tipping, so you can pay according to your satisfaction.

気さくなガイドさんのおかげで、はじめてのセグウェイを楽しむことができました。あっという間の2時間でした。

風を感じながら駆け抜けることができ爽快でした。徒歩だと距離があり、車では入れない歩道や公園、海辺の道などをセグウェイで快適に走ることができ気持ちよかったです。

道中のお店、植物、自然、スポーツ、ショッピングセンター、コンドミニアム、大学などなどに関連する解説もとても面白かったです。休憩のタイミングで家族の写真を撮ってくれたり、カカアコウォーターパークでは動画も撮っていただき、とても良い思い出になりました。

おすすめのレストランやショップも丁寧に教えていただき大変助かりました。最後にチップの目安額も提示されるので、満足度に応じて支払えば良いと思います。

I previously went to see the sunset and starry sky from the summit of Haleakalā on Maui, and it was an absolutely stunning sight that cannot be compared. However, given the location, I did feel a bit unwell (I think this is what they call altitude sickness), so I was disappointed that I couldn't really enjoy the explanations about the stars. I had heard that there are few Japanese tourists and that the guidance would be in English, but on the day we participated, everyone in our group was Japanese, so we had a guide who spoke Japanese. Thank you for taking so many photos for us.

マウイ島のハレアカラ山頂からのサンセットと星空も以前見に行きましたが、比べものにならないくらい素晴らしい光景でした。
ただ、さすがに場所が場所だけに気分が悪くなり（多分これが高山病と言われるものなんだと思いますが）、星の説明はほとんど気けなかったのが残念でした。
日本人観光客が少なく、英語での案内になると聞いていましたが、私達の参加した日は1台全て日本人だったので、日本語の話せるガイドさんでした。
写真も沢山撮って頂き、ありがとうございました。

It was my long-awaited trip to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was truly a wonderful experience. I was hesitant because the tour prices have increased due to the strong yen, but my husband said, "I've already retired, and this mountain is higher than Mount Fuji, so I want to climb it while I'm still healthy," and that’s why I decided to join this time.

It was hot until we got on the bus, but I participated wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. The winter gear I brought from Japan included Uniqlo's ultra-warm underwear, Uniqlo's ultra-light down jacket, ski socks, and smartphone-compatible gloves. I changed into the clothes I brought at a rest stop along the way and borrowed ski wear at the summit to wear over them. (The summit had clear skies, but it was a windy and cold day for summer, so this was just right.)

I had never climbed Mount Fuji, so I was worried about altitude sickness, but I was fine. I enjoyed delicious sandwiches and cocoa. You can easily drive to the summit and see breathtaking views. I learned for the first time what a starry sky really is. I could even see moving satellites with the naked eye.

It was a series of moving experiences. I highly recommend it.

念願のマウナケアの山頂でした。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。
円高でツアー代金が高くなっているので悩みましたが、「俺はもう定年を過ぎたんだから　富士山よりも高い山なんだから、元気なうちに登りたい。」と主人に言われ、今回参加しました。
バスに乗るまでは暑いですが、長袖のTシャツとGパンとスニーカーで参加しました。日本から持参した冬装備は、ユニクロの極暖下着・ユニクロのウルトラライトダウンジャケット・スキー用の靴下とスマホ対応手袋でした。持参した服を途中の休憩所で着て、頂上でスキーウェアの上下を借りてこの上に着ました。（頂上は晴天でしたが夏にしては風があり寒い日だったそうです。これで丁度よかったです。）
私は富士山にも登ったことがなかったので、高山病が心配でしたが大丈夫でした。サンドイッチとココアを美味しくいただきました。簡単に車で頂上まで行けて絶景の景色をみる事ができます。特に満天の星空とはこの事なのだと初めて知りました。肉眼で動いている人工衛星も見る事ができました。
感動の連続です。是非お勧めします。

I had a great time leisurely exploring the North store and carefully considering the artwork I couldn't buy due to time constraints. The market was also open, so I took my time browsing there as well. I was able to visit Seven Brothers, which I had wanted to do.

However, I was a bit surprised by the driver's incredible driving. It might be tough for the elderly. I almost bit my tongue while dozing off! (>_<)

ノースのお店をゆっくりみたり、時間がなくて買えなかった絵を吟味したりできて良い時間を過ごせました。
マーケットも開かれていたので、そこでもゆっくり見てまわりました。セブンブラザーズに行きたかったのでそれも実現しました。

ただ、ドライバーさんのすごい運転にはちょっと驚きました。お年寄りには厳しいかもしれないですね。
うとうとしていて、舌噛みそうになりましたので(>_<)

I thought everything, from the meals to the crew's service, was perfect!

If you ride on Friday, you can also see fireworks, which is a great deal!

It is a bit pricey, but it's worth experiencing!

食事も船員さんの対応も全てにおいてパーフェクトかなと思いました！

金曜日に乗ると花火も見れてお得です！

値段はしますけど、乗ってみる価値はありますよ！

Good for all ages, our family was laughing and it was a good way to get everyone together :)

This day may be long, but you get to see all the island and find spots you want to go back and see more! The stargazing was unreal!!

Me and hubby really enjoyed the beauty in the hardship that Pearl Harbor bodies!

Happy we got this to get access to everything on grounds!

Pick up was easy, and drop off as well- we really liked this way to get to PH!

Our guide was so awesome, funny, and knowledgeable! Would recommend to friends and family!

The crew makes sure things run smooth, and the boat is a nice smooth sail as well!

Tax free, easy to get beforehand and skip the line :)

Got to celebrate our anniversary on the Kona waters, very beautiful sunset and very good grub!

Wonderful tour, really educated guide and loved the TV history!!

We love light hiking, and this was a good balance! The hill to get up Tantulus is quite steep!

The entertainment was superb!!! The food, however, was cold, undercooked, and no flavor. I do understand the institutional food prep, but it could have been better.

This was a great outing worth every penny. Definitely wear close toed shoes and bring clothes you are okay with getting red dirt Kauaui stained! An extra towel is a good suggestion as well. Water bottle and big spray if you are going to wear shorts.

In the morning, we went on a Kaneohe Bay cruise, and surprisingly, the waves were quite high, causing some people to get soaked inside the boat. The guide was amazing!!! The lunch buffet featured tender and delicious pork and chicken. The calamansi and pineapple juice were also good. In the afternoon, we took a lot of photos at Jurassic Village, and it was a very satisfying day (✿^‿^).

午前は、カネオヘ湾クルーズ、思いのほか波が高く、船内に波がザバ〜ン・・びしょ濡れになった方も。ガイドさん最高！！！
ランチビュッフェは豚肉、鶏肉が柔らかくて美味しかった。カラマンシーとパイナップルジュースもgood。午後から、ジュラシックビレッジでたくさん写真を撮り大満足の1日でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Large boat brings you about 30 mins down river with a tour guide speaking overhead. Our tour guide was very funny and was probably my favorite part of this activity. You’ll disembark at an area with walkways/bathroom through a lush rainforest that eventually ends at an area with a large cliff/cave. APPLY BUG SPRAY! There are lots of mosquitoes in this area.
Here you’ll get a short history of the location as well as some music/hula dancing.
You’ll head back to boat and return with more traditional ukulele music/hula dancing.
Wasn’t a fan of the music myself, but enjoyed the trip overall.
If you aren’t able to do a strenuous hike, wheelchair bound, or have small children this activity is short enough to get a taste of the scenery without the hassle of a rough walking trail.

We liked this as it filled our day paired with the luau! The staff here is very friendly and the local hawaiian songs were beautiful!
