All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Food was delicious, the views where beautiful. Ryan the waiter was great and the entertainment was great also . Just disappointed that we missed the sunset because dinner was served late.

Soo happy we were able to view the different locations the views were absolutely amazing

Customer service was amazing. Tour was exactly as advertised. Bus was clean, comfortable and air conditioned.

The day of the tour was just one day before the full moon, and with 98% moonlight, it was too bright to see a perfect starry sky (I should have checked the lunar calendar in advance...). However, the sea of clouds below was breathtaking, and the sunset from the summit at an elevation of 4,207 meters was truly beautiful and very moving.

Our tour guide, Stephan, was very friendly and, despite being a tall foreigner, he grew up in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese. He was very kind, took many photos for us, and even sent us some amazing starry sky pictures he had taken in the past via AirDrop. The vegetarian sandwich was also very delicious, and the cocoa he made for us at the summit was incredibly tasty and warming. Thank you for a wonderful experience and memories.

ツアー当日は満月の一日前で、月明かり98%ということで満点の星空を見るには明るすぎたのですが、(事前にちゃんと月齢カレンダーを確認すべきでした、、)雲を下に見る雲海は絶景で、標高4207mの山頂からのサンセットは本当に綺麗で、とても感動しました。
ツアーガイドのステファンさんはとても気さくで見た目は背の高い外人さんですが、バリバリの日本育ちとのことで、日本語ペラペラで、とても親切で写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、過去に撮影した素晴らしい星空の写真もAirDropで送ってくださいました。
ベジタリアンサンドイッチもとても美味しく、山頂で入れてくれたココアはとっても美味しくてあたたまりました。素敵な体験と思い出をありがとうございました。

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

The pickup location for the bus on the way there was hard to find. (There were many people from other tours, and we couldn't tell what our bus looked like.)
As for the horseback riding, we could hear the sound of the waves and got splashed by the sea spray, and the wind felt pleasant. The horse was calm and occasionally stopped to graze, which was enjoyable as well. Riding along the coast, something we can't do in Japan, was a valuable experience.
In Haleiwa Town, we only had time for lunch, and it would have been nice to have a little more time to relax.

行きのバスのピックアップ場所がわかりづらかった。（他のツアーの人たちも多く、自分たちのバスがどのような物かもわからなかった）
乗馬については波の音が聞こえ、波飛沫がかかるくらいで、風が心地よかったです。馬もおとなしく時々草を食んで道草しましたが、それも楽しかった。日本では出来ない海岸沿いの乗馬は貴重な体験でした。
ハレイワタウンではランチの時間しか無くもう少しゆっくり出来たら良かった。

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

Beautiful tour! Our family was happy we found time to visit the Grotto!

Really enjoyed the dinner, we were nervous but it was soooo delicious!!

Arizona ferry ride and memorial were just breathtaking

A great see when staying on Oahu, holds great American history

Tour guide in car was very helpful and detailed and park was very memorable

Tons of fun, food was just okay, definitely a 1 time do but worth it to try for your first Hawaii visit

This tour shows you it all and they are very personable!

Laughed out Loud!!! What a fun evening filled with lots of Hawaii memories :)

This tour gives you access to both Missouri and Arizona in just half a day, it is a reat tour to visit PH while in Waikiki.

I was a bit anxious about the explanations in English, but I was able to understand through the atmosphere. The electric bicycle takes a little getting used to, but it's comfortable.

英語での解説に不安がありましたが、雰囲気で理解することができました。電動自転車は慣れるまでに少し苦労しますが快適です。

The assisted mountain bike is amazing! You can easily climb hills while sitting down. The exhilaration of racing through nature on a mountain bike is exceptional. Additionally, at the photo spots, you have a reasonable amount of time to take breaks. The bike used is the Trek Rail, available in three sizes: S, M, and L.

アシスト付きマウンテンバイクはアシストがスゴイ！坂道も座ったままで楽々登ります。
大自然の中をマウンテンバイクで駆け抜ける爽快さは格別。また、フォトスポットでは、適度な時間を取ってくれて適度に休憩も取れます。
使用する自転車は、Trek Railで大きさはS.M.Lの3種類あります。

The driver was very friendly and shared interesting stories, making the journey enjoyable. The Dole plantation was less lively than when I visited before, and the pineapple ice cannot be purchased with a card, so cash is necessary. The driver explained the horseback riding in Japanese beforehand, which made me feel at ease. A staff member will take photos along the way, so be sure to bring your smartphone. There is only one riding club, and it's not very clean, so I recommend bringing hand towels or similar items. The stroll around Haleiwa goes by quickly, so it might be better to ask the driver to place a lunch order in advance. It gets crowded when eating and lining up for shave ice, so Aoki might be a better choice. I wish I had a bit more time.

ﾄﾞﾗｲﾊﾞｰの方はとてもゆかいで為になる話をして下さり、道中は楽しかったです。
ﾄﾞｰﾙは以前来た時とはにぎわいがなく、ﾊﾟｲﾝｱｲｽはｶｰﾄﾞ使えず、現金持参が必要です。
乗馬は先にﾄﾞﾗｲﾊﾞｰさんが日本語で説明してくださったので、安心して乗ることができました。途中写真を係の方が撮ってくれるので、ｽﾏﾎ持参を。
乗馬ｸﾗﾌﾞにはは一つしかなく、綺麗とは言えないので、お手拭き等持参することをお勧めします。
ﾊﾚｲﾜ散策はあっという間なので、ﾗﾝﾁは予約注文ﾄﾞﾗｲﾊﾞｰさんに頼む方がいいかもです。食べて、ｼｪｲﾌﾞｱｲｽ並ぶのに混むので、青木の方がいいかもしれません。時間もう少しあったら、良かったと。

MUST DO!

This was a great tour - really educational and fun. Be prepared for rain, you are in the rainforest and it rains a lot. Our guide came prepared with umbrellas and rain jackets, flashlights for the lava tube, water and snacks.
Andre, our tour guide was amazing, experienced and incredibly knowlegable of the volcanoes, land, plants and trees, Hawaiian culture, plus more, and the history of all mentioned. He made sure we were always entertained during the approx. 8 hour trip.
Would recommend shorts, closed toed shoes (sneakers fine) suntan lotion, somewhat water repellant light jacket (in case your tour does not provide).

Friendly and warm tour guide made our experience memorable

There were no other Japanese tourists on the bus for the tour. All the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content, but I could somewhat feel the atmosphere. The jungle exploration had a nice opportunity for a bit of hiking, which was great. The tour around the farm turned out to be surprisingly the most interesting and enjoyable experience. It was amazing to see the magnificent scenery that can only be found here.

ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。

Overall the tour was great. Yoshi was very friendly and had everything needed for those unprepared, which was not us. Hot tea or coffee, blankets, heavy jackets, etc. The tour of the top, views of the craters and everything was great. He stopped on the way up so folks could buy food for dinner. We went from the top down to his secret spot for dinner, arriving about 40 minutes before sunset. Set up the cameras and relaxed while watching a spectacular sunset. Clouds moved in though and it got cold(er) and wet, so he took us down the hill I. Search of clear skies. It rained and we'd given up hope of stargazing when we came out of the clouds and he found a great viewing spot. We spent over an hour looking at various stellar things, as well as Saturn and the moon- the only solar system bodies in view. Overall we had a fun time. Would do again!

Japanese tourists have returned to Hawaii. However, due to the pandemic, there are hardly any Japanese guides left, making the tours quite boring for those who struggle with English. On tours that showcase the rich nature, Pocketalk usually doesn't work, and we find ourselves tuning out the rapid-fire English explanations. Please rehire Japanese guides soon! We are only reluctantly signing up for English guides!

ハワイにも、日本人が戻ってきましたね。でも、日系のガイドさんはコロナ禍でほとんど居なくなってしまい、英語が苦手な日本人にはつまらないツアーばかりになりました。
豊かな自然が売りのツアーでは、たいていポケトークは機能せず、マシンガンの様な英語のガイドをしらけながら聞き流しています。
早く日系ガイドを再雇用してあげてください！
英語のガイドは、仕方なく申し込んでいるだけですよ！

It was very cool. Every one was very kind and accommodating. Guide was informative and pilot was very good. We saw a couple sharks and tons of other fish. Kids loved it! (12 and 10) Mahalo!

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.

We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

There are many attractions and local foods to enjoy. Considering how much effort it would take to arrange all this on your own, I think it's a very worthwhile tour. The guide, Kanako, was wonderful with her character and attentiveness, allowing us to relax and participate all day long.

In the morning, we had a light breakfast at Leonard's with their famous malasadas, which were freshly made and very satisfying. Starting with Blowhole, we toured the highlights of Hawaii, and Kanako provided detailed explanations on how to enjoy each spot and important notes, which was very helpful. As for the scenery, rather than words, please take a look at the photos.

For lunch, the garlic shrimp at FUMIZ exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. The shrimp were large and satisfying, and the garlic butter seasoning soaked into the rice, making it delicious. (Since we ate on outdoor benches, the tables were a bit dirty.)

By the time we arrived at Haiku, I was a little tired, but we cooled down with some shave ice from Matsumoto. There were many flavors to choose from, and it looked colorful. The taste was less sweet than it appeared, and I was able to enjoy the shave ice after a long time. We arrived at the hotel in downtown Chinatown by 5:30 PM. Thanks to this experience, I had a fulfilling day. Thank you, Kanako!

沢山の見どころと、ローカルフードが楽しめます。自分でこれだけ手配するとなることを考えると、とてもお得なツアーだと思います。ガイドのKanakoさんのキャラと気遣いも素晴らしく、1日中リラックスして参加できました。
朝は、レナーズのマサラダで軽く朝食、揚げたての温かいものを食べられて、とても満足でした。潮吹き岩に始まり、ハワイの見所を周遊しますが、Kanakoさんが、細かく楽しみ方や注意事項を言ってくれるので、とても助かりました。景色については、言葉で語るよりも、写真をご覧ください。
昼食のＦＵＭＩＺのガーリックシュリンプは、期待をはるかに上回る美味しさ・・エビは大ぶりで食べ応えがあり、味付けのガーリックバターがご飯にしみ込んで美味しかったです。（食べるのは屋外のベンチなので、テーブルがちょっと汚いです・・）
最後のハイレワに着くころには、ちょっとお疲れでしたが、松本Shave Iceでクールダウン。選べるフレーバーの種類が多く、見た目にもカラフルです。味は、見た目よりも甘さ抑え目で、久しぶりのかき氷を楽しむことができました。ダウンタウン、チャイナタウンの通りながら、17:30ホテルに到着。おかげ様で、充実した1日を過ごすことができました。kanakoさん、ありがとうございました。

The views you get from the Cruise are amazing, however some of the staff came off rude when trying to guide passengers on what direction to go, our dinner had a lot of people getting seasick.

The hiking is easy to participate in as it involves walking on fully paved paths, with very little elevation change.

At the base of Waimea Falls, swimming is possible if conditions are good. I heard from the guide that not many Japanese people swim there, but I highly recommend it as it feels great. By the way, participants from other countries were all swimming.

There are changing rooms, but there are only two, so I think it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit underneath if possible. Also, there were showers available.

At the coffee farm where we stopped for breakfast, we could taste two types of coffee, one of which was a daily flavored coffee. The day we participated, the flavors were vanilla and macadamia nut, and it was delicious. There was a staff member who spoke Japanese at the shop, providing detailed explanations. They also have small packs available, which I think make great souvenirs.

At the Dole Plantation, you can buy rich pineapple soft serve ice cream. On the way back, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles on the beach from the car!

The only downside was that the wrap for lunch was a bit too large and the taste was just okay.

With a cheerful guide and driver, we had a fun time both in the car and during the hike. I highly recommend this tour!

ハイキングは、すべて舗装された道を歩くため、気軽に参加できる内容です。起伏もほとんどありません。
ワイメア滝の滝壺では条件が良ければ泳ぐことができます。日本人で泳ぐ人は少ないとガイドさんから聞きましたが、とても気持ちが良いので是非泳ぐことをお勧めします。ちなみに他の国からの参加の方は皆さん泳いでいました。
更衣室はありますが、ふたつしかないので、できれば水着を着ていくと良いと思います。あと、シャワー（水）もありました。

朝食で寄ったコーヒー農園では、2種類のコーヒーを試飲でき、うち1種類は日替りのフレーバーコーヒーです。参加した日はバニラとマカダミアナッツのフレーバー付きコーヒーでしたが、美味しくいただきました。売店には日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいて、詳しい説明をしていただけます。少量のパックもあるのでお土産にもいいと思います。

ドールプランテーションでは、濃厚なパイナップルソフトクリームを買うことができます。
帰り道には、運良く、車の中からビーチにいた海亀をみることができました！

昼食のラップが若干大きすぎなうえ、味がイマイチだったのが唯一のマイナス点でした、、

明るいガイドさんとドライバーさんで、車内もハイキングも終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。おすすめのツアーです！

It was a beginner course, but since it was my first experience with mountain biking, the course with its ups and downs was very exciting. The English guide spoke in clear English, so I didn't feel any inconvenience. They also took a lot of photos. It's a great activity that allows you to experience the natural beauty of Oahu, and I highly recommend it!

初心者コースでしたが、マウンテンバイク初体験なのもありアップダウンのあるコースがとてもエキサイティングでした。
英語ガイドさんでしたが、わかりやすい英語で話してもらえて不便は感じません。写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。
オアフ島の昔からの自然を体感できるとてもよいアクティビティでおすすめです！
