All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

On the day I participated, a Japanese guide was in charge. While driving, he provided explanations in both English and Japanese. There were eight participants, half of whom were Japanese. At the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset. It was almost windless, so it wasn't too cold, but according to the guide, it had been very cold the day before due to strong winds, so it seems to vary by day. The stargazing was limited because it was close to a full moon, resulting in fewer stars. However, everyone, including the guide, was surprised by a fireball that suddenly appeared. It was an experience that happens once in a lifetime. It was a great tour.

私の参加した日は、日本人のガイドさんが担当してくれた。運転しながら、英語、日本語、交互の説明、参加者８名、内、半分が日本人だった。山頂では美しい日の入りを見ることができた。ほぼ無風だったのでそれほど寒くはなかったがガイドさん曰く前日は風が強く大変寒かったそうで、日によってまちまちのようだ。星空観測は満月に近いこともあって、星の数は少なかった。しかし突然現れた火球にガイドさん含めて皆ビックリ。一生に一度あるか否かの経験をした。良いツアーだった。

We had a fantastic experience in the grand circle island tour. We got to see almost all the best attraction points in Oahu, with plenty of opportunities for food and souvenirs. The best part of the tour is probably that we get to really relax and pay full attention to the views, without having to worry about itineraries or directions. Coincidentally we did a self-drive over a very similar route last time we visited, and the experience is far better this time around with the tour. I think we also got very lucky with our driver and guide Kimo. He was both knowledgeable about everything in Hawaii, and great at storytelling along the way. He also dealt with a couple of unexpected issues caused by other traveler groups very fast and smoothly. Would recommend overall.

It might be surprisingly unknown, but visiting allows you to learn about Hawaii from 200 years ago, which was quite interesting! The interior design of the buildings was also well done!

意外と知られてない？かもしれないが、行ってみると200年前のハワイとかを知れて結構面白かった！
建物の内装もグッドデザインでした！

Fully enjoyed the ranch tour. We did the Jurassic valley movie tour in open wi Dow bus. Our guide was fantastic, engaging with everyone and very informative. Helping out taking group photos for everyone that asked. We watched groups go by in the jeep tours which also looked like they would be a lot of fun.

The tour started with a coffee tasting at the office early in the morning, followed by malasadas, local food, nuts, garlic shrimp (for lunch), and banana spring rolls (I forgot the local name).

Despite that, I ended up having shave ice in Haleiwa... it was truly a tour that left my stomach very satisfied.

I also got to see turtles swimming, which was great.

Thank you for your hospitality.

朝イチからオフィスでのコーヒーの試飲から始まり、マラサダ、ローカルフード、ナッツ、ガーリックシュリンプ(ランチ)、バナナ春巻き？(ローカルな名前忘れました)がツアーの中に含まれています。
なのにハレイワでシェイブアイスを食べてしまうなんて…、ホントお腹が大満足なツアーでした。
亀さんが泳いでいるのも見れたし、良かったです。
お世話様でした。

The entire experience start to finish was amazing. Wes was our guide and driver and took the time to explain what to expect and educate all of us on the island and the history of Hawai’i! I would recommend this tour to anybody who would like to enjoy the beautiful Mauna Kea! Wes also took the time to take photos of us at sunset and stargazing!

I was able to fully enjoy the basic tourist attractions and food of Oahu, and the fun conversations from the driver who guided us kept the participants engaged, which was also very nice.

オアフ島の基本的な観光地やフードを満喫できたことや、案内をしてくれたドライバーの方の参加者を飽きさせない楽しいトークもとてもよかったです。

I was excited to sign up for a tour with my son to play in the pool at Waimea Falls. On the day of the tour, a friendly guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese. We arrived smoothly at the botanical garden where Waimea Falls is located, but it was revealed at the entrance that swimming in the falls was not allowed. Still, we hoped to see the falls and made our way while receiving explanations about the plants. I had a bad feeling when we reached a spot that I thought was a river with no flowing water, but as we continued deeper, we arrived at a completely dry pool. It was clear that there hadn't been rain for a while. The pool was murky and definitely not suitable for swimming. We were told that the lifeguard would make a decision about swimming at 9 AM that morning, so we wouldn't know until we came, but if the tour company had checked with the botanical garden the day before, they would have known about the condition of the falls.

I regretted participating in the tour early in the morning just to see a dried-up waterfall. The guide took us to a nearby beach, and although we were able to swim in the ocean for a short time, my goal of swimming in the pool while viewing the waterfall was not fulfilled. At the very least, I wished they had contacted us the day before to let us know that the waterfall would not be visible but to ask if we still wanted to participate. The guide was good, but the tour company lacked sincerity.

ワイメア滝の滝つぼで水遊びをしたいとワクワクしながら息子とツアーに申し込みました。ツアー当日、英語と日本語で説明してくれる親切なガイドさんが案内してくれました。順調にワイメア滝のある植物園に到着しましたが、入口で滝で泳げない事が判明。それでも滝は見れるだろうと期待して植物の説明を受けながら滝を目指しました。途中の川だと思う場所に水は流れてなく嫌な予感はしましたが、奥へ進むと全く水が流れていない滝つぼに到着。しばらく雨が降ってないことが予想される状況でした。滝つぼは濁っていてとても入れる状況ではないのは一目瞭然。泳げるかどうかの判断は当日の朝9時にライフガードが判断するから、来てみないとわからないとの説明でしたが、ツアー会社が前日に植物園に確認していてくれたら、滝の状況がわかっていたはずなのに。
枯れた滝を見るために早朝からツアーに参加し、後悔しました。ガイドさんが近くのビーチに連れて行ってくださり、短時間でしたが海で泳ぐ事が出来ましたが、海ではなく滝をみながら滝つぼで泳ぎたいっていう目的は叶いませんでした。せめて、前日に滝が見れないけど参加するかどうか連絡して欲しかった。
ガイドさんは良いけど、誠実さが感じられないツアー会社でした。

The tour was led by a bright and fun guide who was great at teaching! The course covered a lot, from paintings to the sea, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was really wonderful!

教え方も上手で、明るく楽しいガイドさんのツアーでした！まわるコースも絵画から海まで盛り沢山で解説もわかりやすく、とてもよかったです！

Riding through the wind felt absolutely amazing! Since it was equipped with electric assist, I was able to glide along effortlessly without any strain at all. It was great that we stopped at several scenic spots for photo opportunities and took our time. Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, I appreciated the guide's thoughtfulness in using Google Translate to help us. I also felt reassured knowing that the helmets were disinfected after use.

The weather in the mountains can change quickly, so after it rained, the ground became slippery, and I saw a few people fall, but the others around and the guide were very kind and helped them. At the end, I even received a Band-Aid. The rear tire of the mountain bike splashes mud, so my back got dirty. I think it's best to wear clothes that can get dirty and have a bag that can also handle some mud. Next time, I want to try zip-lining!

風を切って走るのが最高に気持ちよかった！
電動アシスト付きなのでスイスイ進めて全く辛くなかったです。
眺めのいいところや何ヶ所かで撮影ポイントや時間を取ってくれて良かったですし、
日本語は通じないけど、Google翻訳を使って教えてくれたりとガイドさんの気遣いも嬉しかったです。
使い終わったヘルメットも消毒されてるのを見て確認したので安心でした。
山の天気は変わりやすいので、雨が降ったりした後は滑りやすいので転んでる方も何人か居ましたが、周りの方やガイドさんが助けてくれたりと優しかったです。
最後にバンドエイドも貰ってました。
マウンテンバイクの後ろのタイヤが泥を跳ねるので背中が汚れます。
汚れてもいい服装や背中に背負うバックは汚れてもいいものがいいと思います。
今度はジップラインをやりたいと思っています！

The Kualoa Experience was amazing, The tours that we did on the day had exceptional knowledgeable guides.
We also had the lunch which was delicious. We had know idea that there was that many movies and series made at the ranch.

It was quick and convenient, no hassle no fuss. Highly recommend this

Not enough time for the Bowfin and Missouri! Especially the Missouri is so valuable and amazing!
Introduction saying drop off 16:15-17:00, but our tour actually ended by 14:30 (return from Missouri), I have no idea why but it happened like this. If we have more time, could be definitely better, a bit disappointed.

This tour was the highlight of my families trip. The tour was amazing and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He was happy to answer all of my children's questions.

I was able to tour the North Shore for just over three hours, and it was really great. However, since I was participating alone, I felt some frustration with the driver's attitude and strong tone from the beginning.

3時間ちょっとノースショアを観光が出来て凄く良かったです。
ただひとりでの参加ということもあるかもしれませんが、始めからドライバーの方の態度や強い言い方にこちらも苛立ちを感じました。

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.

It was a good tour and great driver. I wish we would have stopped at more of the scenic spots and skipped some of the roadside gift shops. One was enough. I would skip the Dole Plantation altogether.

Quick and informational tour. Loved the movie and boat ride to USS Arizona. The drive through China town and historic downtown Honolulu was a plus with time to take pics at Lolani palace and King Kamehameha statue. Could have been better if the transportation was not old, creaking, and bumpy. Also, no bottled water was provided as promised and shown on the prepaid voucher. If your looking to not spend all day at Pearl harbor, pay your respects, and see downtown this is the tour to go on.

Very well organized tour with beautiful scenery throughout. There is so much opportunity to take lots of pictures and interact with movie props, etc. There is also a variety of activities to do. However, this review is only for the Movie sites and ranch tour. The tour was perfect for those who cannot endure bumpy ride such as the elderly and pregnant. My mother was comfortable and did not complain about it being too rough. Our tour guide made it really special. He was very informative and engaging. Also, you can tell that he really enjoys what he is doing and really has a passion for movies and discussing them. I also love the fact that he was willing to take pictures Group/families. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who loves nature and movies, or would just like to spend a 1/2 day at Kuaola ranch.

Both hikes to Diamond head and Manual falls were very good. Diamond head was more strenuous than Manoa falls. I challenged myself by taking the hardest route. Both tours offered water though the one at Diamond head was warm. Walking sticks were offered at Manoa falls which was helpful though I didn't use it. Due to a dry season, there was no falls; completely bone dry which was disappointing. Both drivers were on time, friendly, and informative. Overall, it was a really good self-guided hike and I would do it again but hopefully when the falls are actually flowing.

I highly recommend this tour we had a great time , It was very informative and we saw so many beautiful places . Our tour guide Stephanie was awesome, she made the tour fun and added some extra stops that we really appreciated . I would say that the hike at diamond head was harder then I thought it would be, but the view are worth it .

Great cruise, all staff, especially our service assistant, were extremely pleasant, professional, and efficient. A very good buffet with carved roast beef, delicious chicken and fish, everything. Fireworks show a bit difficult. In order to see it well people had to run to one side of the ship, not only tilting the ship a bit but making it even more difficult for people who didn't want to dash to the side to see. This was only a minor observation.

I had a wonderful experience riding a Segway while enjoying the scenery at Kaka'ako and Magic Island, with fun explanations from our guide.

セグウェイに乗ってカカアコやマジックアイランドなど、ゆっくり景色を見ながら、楽しいガイドさんの説明などで楽しい思いを体験しました。

Loved the thought process here, but overall, kind of crowded. Our waiter had too many tables or he was just slow. Not sure. Food was ok, didn’t go home hungry. Music was great and the final show was awesome.

We participated as a pair this time, and since there were only the two of us, it felt like a private tour. A group that left a little earlier had about eight participants, so we were lucky! The instructions for handling the bikes were available in Japanese, but the guide spoke everything in English. However, the guide was kind, and since it was just the two of us, we were able to enjoy the tour at a relaxed pace! I don't fully understand all the movies, so the guide explained a lot about the origin of the name Kualoa, but I couldn't catch some parts... tears. The scenery is, of course, breathtaking and beyond imagination. However, be careful when riding on the sand as it can be slippery. I noticed a member of another team we passed had fallen and scraped their knee, but the guide had disinfectant on hand to treat them right away, so I think they were okay as long as it wasn't a serious injury.

今回2人で参加しましたが、私達2人しかいなかった為ほプライベートツアーに近い状態でした。
少し前に出発したグループは8人程度の参加者がいたのでラッキーでした！
バイク取扱に関する説明は日本語で見る事が出来ますがガイドさんはもちろん全て英語です。
しかしガイドさんが親切で私達2人だった事もあり、ゆっくりのんびりとツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました！当方映画が全て理解出来る訳ではないのでクアロアの名前の由来など凄くたくさん説明してくれましたが一部聞き取れず…涙
景色はもちろん、想像を超えた絶景です。
しかし、砂の上を走る際は滑りやすいので注意が必要です。途中すれ違った違うチームの方は転けてしまったのか膝が擦りむいてしまっていましたがガイドさんが持っている消毒液ですぐに手当してもらっていたので大きな怪我でなければ大丈夫かと思います。

Our Movie Sites Tour driver was fun, knowledgeable and just a cool guy. The checkout lady at Auntie Pat’s Cafe was so friendly and funny. The whole day from pick-up to drop-off went so smoothly. We originally booked without transportation as we were going to rent a car but latter changed and added transportation. Kualoa staff are so professional. Highly recommend any tour there.

We were a tarty of 4 (two couple) from California:
1. Overall impression is okay but not great because the steak was served cold and chewy.
2. Dancing activities are great!

It was amazing to spend time with them in nature! I was so happy! I have experience with horses, but it was my foreign husband's first time, and he said he had a lot of fun. I want to go again!

自然の中で彼らと過ごせて最高に！幸せでした！
私は馬歴はありますが外国人旦那さんは初めての体験でしたが
とっても楽しかったそうです。また行きたいなー

I've been to Kualoa several times, but this time I participated in a beginner-level mountain biking event with friends! I was worried since I don't usually ride a bike, but it was only at the beginning that I felt unaccustomed. By the time we turned back, I was getting used to the speed and wanted to ride even more! The instructor was fantastic! They were very responsive and kind, even when there was a gear issue along the way. Surrounded by magnificent scenery, mountain biking became an incredibly fun memory! I definitely want to participate again! Next time, I want to challenge myself at the intermediate level!

クアロアへは何度か行ったことがありますが、今回は友人とマウンテンバイク初心レベルに初参加しました！
普段自転車も乗っていないので心配でしたが、乗り慣れずは…最初だけ。折り返しの道のりでは、スピードにも慣れてもっと乗りたい気分でした！
インストラクターの方もサービス満点！
ナイスロケーションでのショットや途中でギアが外れてしまうトラブルにも敏速に親切な対応^_^
壮大な素晴らしい景色に囲まれてマウンテンバイクは最高に楽しい思い出となりました！
また是非、参加したいです^_^
次回は中級レベルに挑戦したいなー(^｡^)

Last year, when I came to Hawaii, I rode a Segway for the first time and had so much fun, so this year I participated for the second time. A flashy van picked me up at the hotel, so I recognized it right away. When we arrived at the shop, we started with signing the consent forms and then put on helmets, and each person began practicing slowly. Since I rode last year, I was surprisingly able to get on easily. The Japanese-speaking instructor was very friendly and engaging. Participants wear headsets, so we can always hear the instructor, which is reassuring. We actually rode on the road, going from Ala Moana Beach Park around Magic Island and checking out the art in Kaka'ako! It was so much fun that I want to ride again! Finally, I gave a tip and was taken back to the hotel!

昨年ハワイに来た時に初めてセグウェイに乗って楽しかったので今年も2回目の参加となりました。ホテルに派手なバンで迎えに来てくれたので直ぐに分かりました。店に着いたらまず承諾書のサインなどから始まりヘルメットを着けて一人一人ゆっくり練習が始まります。昨年乗ったので意外とすんなり乗れました。日本語の上手な日系のインストラクターさんが楽しく話してくれます。参加者はインカムを付けているのでインストラクターの話は常に聞こえるので安心です。実際に道路を走ってアラモアナビーチパークからマジックアイランドを回ってカカアコのアートなどを回りました！
楽しいのでまた乗りたいです！
最後にチップを渡してホテルまで送ってもらいました！
