All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

we were provided with a good narrative as we visited the various iconic sights of the Hawaiin island. Enjoyed the sights and the tour director makes it most interesting.

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.

It all started with a stop at the building of the executing company. I wasn't quite sure why we stopped there, but I was able to take a photo at the entrance and receive some data. I had the opportunity to enjoy Leonard's malasadas at the Hawaii exhibition in Japan, but I was a bit surprised by the large size of the malasadas there. The taste is still delicious as ever. I also had some time at the souvenir shop next to Hawaiian Island Cafe, where I was able to purchase a plumeria ring that I liked. At the macadamia nut farm, I bought the dressing recommended by our guide, Yuki. I appreciate the guide's recommendations as they provide various helpful insights. It was my first time trying garlic shrimp, and I was happy to have the option to choose from three different sauces. I chose the lemon pepper sauce, which I preferred over the garlic flavor. At Kahuku Land Farm, I had fried banana spring rolls, which were tasty, but I was already quite full (laughs). In Haleiwa Town, there was a long line for shave ice, but I managed to find time to purchase it. Overall, it was a fun day tour.

まず遂行会社の建物に寄るところから始まりました
何のために寄ったのかよくわかりませんでしたが、入口で写真を撮っていただきデータをいただくことができました
日本でのハワイ展でレナーズのマラサダを頂く機会がありましたが、現地のマラサダはサイズが大きくてちょっとびっくりしました
味は相変わらず美味しいです
ハワイアンアイランドカフェ並びのお土産屋でも少し時間があり、気に入ったプルメリアの指輪を購入することができました
マカダミアナッツファームではガイドのゆきさんおすすめのドレッシングを購入しました
ガイドさんのおすすめ話はいろんな参考になるのでうれしいです
ガーリックシュリンプを頂くのは初めてでしたが、ソースの味が3種類選択できるのもうれしかったです
レモンペッパーソースを選択しましたがガーリック味より好みでした
カフクランドファームでは揚げバナナ春巻き？をいただきました
美味しかったですが、すでのおなか一杯です（笑）
ハレイワタウンでもシェイブアイスは長蛇の列でしたが無事購入する時間もあり、全体的に楽しく過ごすことのできる1日ツアーでした

Ordered tickets online, showed up early at the location and waited in the line to get in the boat. I was lucky to get good seats in the boat where the view is better than seating in the middle. If you take this trip you will see what I mean.
Some of the people ended up seating in the middle and they didn’t look happy about that…

Such a great experience. It’s an adventure that anyone can do. Very relaxing and a lot to see.

Both my wife and I are in our late 50s, while the other two couples are younger. Although we both ride motorcycles, we were a bit worried about keeping up with the younger crowd. After a brief 10-minute lecture, we were ready to ride. I think the Japanese guide was very good at teaching.

Since we ride standing up, the view is great, and we moved at a jogging pace, which allowed us to look around leisurely. At Ala Moana Beach Park, we were allowed to go onto the grass, and it was a fun experience being waved at by people sunbathing on benches while also being chased away by park rangers.

The weather was nice, but the sun was strong, so I put on a UV-cut parka. The feeling of riding was indescribably strange; the sound of the motor just echoed with a whoosh. Without hard tires and suspension, the bumps in the road were transmitted directly to us.

We even had someone take a video of us while riding, and with a break in between, the roughly two hours flew by. Including tips, it was quite an expense, but it turned out to be a unique experience. I would love to ride again.

私も妻もアラ還で、他の２カップルは若い人。
我々、二人ともオートバイには乗っているものの、
『若い人に付いて行けるかな〜』と少々心配。
10分くらいのレクチャーで乗れるようになりました。
日本語ガイドさんの教え方が上手だったと思います。
立って乗るので見晴らしが良く、ジョギングくらいの
スピードで移動するので、キョロキョロする余裕も
ありました。
アラモアナ・ビーチパークでは芝生に入ってOKという
ことでしたが、パークレンジャーに追い出されたり、
ベンチで日光浴をしている人に手を振ってもらったり、
楽しい体験でした。
天気が良いと日当たりが強いので、UVカットパーカー
を羽織りました。
乗った感じは何とも言えない不思議な感覚。モーターの
音が、ヒュ〜ンと響くだけ。
硬いタイヤとサスペンションがないので路面の凸凹が
ダイレクトに伝わってきます。
途中で乗っているところの動画を撮ってもらったり、
休憩を挟んで、およそ2時間があっと言う間でした。
チップを含めると結構な出費でしたが、なかなかできない
体験になりました。
また乗りたいと思います。

David was our driver for the road to Hana and we can’t say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable and really made the experience exceptional! He also took great couple photos and was willing to stop for photos. We did venture into the waterfall and the black sand beach so we would recommend swim wear and towels if you are adventurous. Lunch was very good and the helicopter ride back was the icing on the cake!! Over all would rate the experience 10 out of 10.

This was a great way to spend some time seeing the beauty of the island and learning some of its history. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining. I had a great time.

The "entertainment" on the way up the river was great. The fern grotto is absolutely beautiful; although a little disappointing that you can't go inside the cave these days, its still a worthwhile trip. Commentary on the way back was very informative and gave everyone some insight into Hawaiian culture.
Acoustics could have been better as it was hard to hear some of what was being said.

It's hard to decide which experience to choose, but the electric assist mountain bikes are easy to ride even for us (a couple in our 50s) who don't ride bicycles regularly, and we can easily climb hills. Just be careful with sudden brakes on downhill slopes. We stopped at recommended spots along the way. The local staff were also very courteous in guiding us. Our clothes didn't get too dirty either. Above all, riding a mountain bike is truly the best way to experience Kualoa. The atmosphere allows for natural smiles and interactions with the foreign guests we were with. Unfortunately, our English skills... we couldn't fully understand the staff's detailed explanations at those spots.

どの体験をするか迷いますが、電動アシストマウンテンバイクは日頃自転車に乗っていない私達（50代夫婦）も容易に運転ができしかも楽に坂道も登れます。降り坂は急ブレーキに注意。途中オススメのスポットには停車。現地スタッフの方々も丁寧に案内してくれます。服装もさほど汚れることはありません。何と言ってもクアロアを肌で感じるには本当にマウンテンバイクは最高です。途中から同行の外国人の方々とも自然に笑顔を交わせるような雰囲気になります。残念なのは私達の英語力…。スタッフの方のそのスポットでの丁寧な説明が理解出来ず。

We gradually made our way to the summit in a car driven by our guide, and after waiting for a while before sunset, we were able to deeply appreciate the magnificent sight of the sun setting surrounded by a sea of clouds. Bathed in sunlight that changed in brilliance from orange to yellow to green, I felt the grandeur of nature. After that, it quickly became pitch dark, and we were able to immerse ourselves in a sky full of stars. I think this is the best entertainment in Maui.

ガイドさん運転の車で徐々に山頂を目指し、日没前に到着して待つことしばし、あたり一面雲海に囲まれる壮観な光景で暮れいく太陽を感慨深く眺めることができました。オレンジ、黄色、グリーンと様々に変化する輝きの陽射しを浴びながら
大自然を感じました。その後は急速にあたりは真っ暗に、満天の星空に浸ることができました。マウイ一番のエンタメだと思います。

The experience was nice and very low key - exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were so awesome. We enjoyed their stories and the music. And the Fern Grotto was as beautiful as described.

Amazing sunset & night sky! We loved learning about stars. This tour is 100% worth it.
A special thanks to our tour guide Yoshi:
- He picked us up at our hotel right on time, we didn’t have to wait a minute!
- He bought us donuts for the ride and told us great stories about Maui along the way.
- The tour was well prepared: we had chairs and blankets to watch the sunset, and binoculars and telescope tonwatch the stars
- He was toughtful and offered us hot tea and coffee when he saw us shivering from cold (much needed!)
Thanks again!

We participated as a couple. The tour guide was very fun and kind, and thanks to them, we had the best experience. I would like to join this tour again next time.
Here is some information to share:
- The explanations were in English, but important points were translated using a translation app.
- In the experience report, it was mentioned that photography was not allowed at the fallen tree in Jurassic Park, but there was actually a good amount of time for photos later on.
- The guide took many pictures of us at great locations, creating wonderful memories.
- At the end, everyone in my tour group was giving tips of about $10 to $20 each.

夫婦二人で参加しました。ツアーガイドさんがとても楽しく親切な方で、お陰様で最高の体験が出来ました。次回もこのツアーに参加したいと思います。
以下、情報共有まで。
・説明は英語なのですが、重要な箇所は翻訳アプリを使って翻訳してくれました。
・体験談では、ジュラシックパークの倒木の箇所で撮影は出来ないと書かれてありましたが、後半の方にしっかり撮影時間がありました。
・ガイドさんが絶好のロケーションでたくさん写真を撮ってくれるので、素敵な思い出が形になります。
・終了時に、私が参加したツアーの皆さんは大体1人10～20＄のチップを渡していました。

I enjoyed it more than I expected. You can leave your luggage at the office, but there is space in front of the Segway where you can store small bags. They suggest a tip of 15% or more, but it seems you don't have to follow that if you don't want to. By the way, tips can also be paid by card, which was helpful since I didn't have any cash.

予想していた以上に楽しめました。オフィスで荷物を預けられますが、セグウェイの前に収納できるスペースがあるので小さい荷物でしたらそこに入れられます。チップは15%〜の金額を提示してくれますが、気持ち次第なのでそれに従わなくても良さそうでした。ちなみにチップはカード払いも可能です。現金を持っていなかったので助かりました。

I arranged for a pickup from Waikiki, which made getting around easy. The Segway was easier to ride than I expected, and the weather was great with stunning views.

ワイキキからの送迎をつけてもらったので移動が楽でした。セグウェイは思ったよりも乗りやすくて、天気も良くて景色が最高でした。

The meeting at the supermarket parking lot, the sunset at the summit of Onitsuka Center, and the stargazing upon returning to the foothills all went smoothly. Warm clothing was provided, so the cold was not an issue. Thank you for the explanations about the mountains and history in the car. The only concern I had was that the guide looked very sleepy during the drive back. Please make sure to rest well during the day to avoid any accidents. Thank you very much.

スーパーマーケットの駐車場の待ち合わせから山麓のOnitsuka center　頂上での夕焼け、山麓に帰っての天体観測、帰還と全てスムースに進みました。防寒服も用意され寒さも問題ありませんでした。車の中での山や歴史の説明もありがとうございました。帰りの運転でガイドさんがとても眠そうだったのが唯一気になった点です。事故なきよう昼間十分に休まれるようにしてください。ありがとうございました。

This was an amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable. Gorgeous views and so many stars. We even got to see Saturn and the Milky Way! Both our kids 11 &15 fully enjoyed it. One said it was their favorite activity on our trip. We will definitely be doing it again on our next trip to Maui. It’s does get cold at the top, so make sure you bring layers, hat and gloves! Blankets are provided!

I had the experience in September. The car was exclusively ours, with no other customers present.

We secured Krispy Kreme donuts and recommended food, and after taking a break along the way, we drove to the summit over 3000 meters high. They provided us with warm clothing and blankets as a precaution against the cold, and while sitting and enjoying warm drinks, we were captivated by our conversation with Yamapi-san, almost missing the sunset (laughs). After sunset, we moved to the opposite side and saw a fantastical moon in a sky transitioning from red to blue.

As it got darker, we looked up at the stars and constellations, received explanations, and observed various celestial bodies through a telescope, creating an extraordinary experience.

Yamapi-san has climbed Haleakalā over 3000 times, so we felt safe leaving it in his hands. I was worried about altitude sickness and motion sickness, but I felt fine, and his stories were very interesting. He listened eagerly to our conversations, making it an enjoyable tour from start to finish.

I will definitely rely on him again when I visit Maui. Thank you very much.

9月に体験させていただきました。
車内は他のお客様はおられず私たちだけで貸切の状態での参加となりました。

クリスピードーナツやオススメフードを確保して、途中休憩を挟みながら、車で3000メートル超えの山頂へ。
防寒対策として防寒着や毛布を貸してくれ、椅子に座って暖かい飲み物をいただきながらの夕日鑑賞でしたが、ヤマピーさんとのお話しに夢中になってしまい、危うく夕日を逃すところでした(笑)
日没後は反対側に移動し、赤色から青色のグラデーションの空の中、幻想的な月を見れました。
周りが暗くなり、空を見上げながらの星座や星の説明、望遠鏡でのさまざまな天体観測が出来、非日常な体験が出来ました。

ヤマピーさんのハレアカラ登頂は3000回を超えているとのこと。安心してお任せできます。
高山病や車酔いを心配していましたが、体調を崩すことなく、そしてお話がとても興味深く、私達の話も熱心に聞いてくれて、終始楽しいツアーとなりました。
またマウイ島に行く際はお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

I had to quickly book this tour because the buggy tour was sold out, but it turned out great. On the day of the tour, we were picked up at 7:30 at the Sheraton Aloha Landing, and there was a briefing for all the tours at the site (since my English isn't very good, we could hardly understand anything, only the e-bike registration and the location of the restroom). There were six participants in total: a couple from Europe, a couple from Korea, and us, plus the guide, which made for a small group. At registration, we were instructed to store larger bags in lockers. You can buy drinks on-site, but they're not particularly cheap, so I recommend bringing your own.

The instructions on how to operate the e-bike and safety precautions were provided in a video with Japanese subtitles, which was helpful. My wife, who usually only rides a regular bike, was a bit scared, but there was practice before we started, and she seemed to get used to it and enjoy the ride. The small group size and the guide's constant consideration made us feel at ease.

We stopped at filming spots and beautiful views to take photos with the guide. The scenery was amazing! There were many spots where we encountered people on buggies or trolley tours; while the routes were different, I think they covered similar highlights. I had originally aimed for the buggy tour, but seeing the buggies moving slowly in a line made me realize it wasn't the thrilling experience I had imagined. The e-bike allowed me to go at my own pace, and both the handling and speed felt fantastic, leaving me very satisfied.

We returned to the starting point at 11:30 and finished by buying hamburgers at a restaurant (the taste was average), had lunch, and departed for home at 1:00 PM. I chose the morning-only tour, and it was just right.

バギーツアーが売り切れたため急遽こちらのツアーを予約しましたがよかったです。当日はシェラトンのアロハランディングに7：30ピックアップ、現地で全てのツアーまとめてブリーフィングがありました（英語が苦手な私達はほとんど聞き取れず、e-bikeの受付とトイレの場所だけ理解できました）。e-bikeは欧米人夫婦、韓国人夫婦と私達夫婦の6人の参加者＋ガイドさんの少人数でした。受付時に荷物が大きい方はロッカーに預けるよう指示されます。現地で買えますが、特別安くはないので飲み物持参をオススメします。
操作法や注意事項の説明は動画で、日本語字幕があり助かりました。普段ママチャリしか乗らない妻は怖がっていましたが、スタート前に練習もあり、道中は慣れて楽しめたようです。少人数で、ガイドさんが常に気遣ってくださったのも安心でした。
映画の撮影スポットや景色がいいところで自転車を止め、その都度ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただけました。景色最高です！途中でバギーやトロリーツアー？の方々とも一緒になるスポットも多く、ルートは違うのでしょうが共通点もあり見どころは押さえてあると思います。もともとバギーツアーを狙っていましたが、バギーがゆっくり列で進んでいたのを見ると、私がイメージしていた疾走感のあるものではなさそうだったので、自分のペースで進めるe-bikeは操作感、疾走感ともに非常に気持ちがよく大満足でした。
11:30にスタート地点に戻って終了、レストランでハンバーガーを買って（味は普通）、ランチを済ませて、13:00出発で帰宅しました。午前だけのツアーを選びましたが丁度良かったです。

Definitely the sun set cruise is one of the best , and most beautiful experience we had. Great food , great live music and great and delicious food .

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.

This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

We almost didn't make it but they held for us....by the skin of our teeth and the evening was just a blast after that. The food was good, the entertainment was funny and got the audience engaged. The views were spectacular. Had a lot of fun

Leonard's malasadas, Kahuku's garlic shrimp, and many sightseeing spots, plus the honu popping its head out of the sea, were amazing!
However, I wish we could have sampled some fruits at the fruit farm after the garlic shrimp.
Also, the guide's explanations were hard to hear from the back seat because the microphone was muffled, so I wanted to hear a bit more.
Mahalo!

レナーズのマラサダ、カフクのガーリックシュリンプ、たくさんの観光名所に、ホヌも海から顔だしてくれて最高てした!
ただ、ガーリックシュリンプの後のフルーツ農園ではフルーツの試食出来たらよかったなーと思います。
あと、ガイドさんの説明が後ろの席だとマイクがこもっていてところどころ聞こえにくかったので、もう少し聞きたかったてす。
Mahalo!

The weather was beautiful and our guide on the.boat was fun. The ladies who sang and did the hula were a nice touch. I learned things about the hula that I did not know. They made the excursion memorable. The fern grotto was pretty it it looks like it needs to recover a lot of its growth. Glad we went, though. An interesting adventure.

The show was really amazing. We were able to interact with our hosts and learn how to make the head pieces. The dancing was great, but the firing knife throwing was so good . Totally worth it.

The HA breath of life show was a hit!! we really enjoyed culture center a lot. On the way, the scenery is great also.

Our guide was wonderful! It was everything we wanted it to be. Our children aged 8 and 10 had the time of their life. It was their first excursion in Hawaii and the one they talked about the most. They said it was the best excursion ever. They loved the guide, the hiking, the swimming, and all the extra experiences they had.

Nice tour.
Thanks to Sean and Shawn.
A must do tour on the Island.
We got lots of information from our tour guide Sean

The food was ok. The entertainment was ok. I’ve been to a luau before and this time was just ok. It wasn’t worth the price.
