Hawaii
We had such a wonderful time. Our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The ONLY complaint we had was the fact that the ATV’s could be a little cleaner other than that, it was a great experience.
It's about an hour, but you can relax by drinking some beverages, eating snacks, and enjoying the sea breeze.
1時間程度の時間ですが、
ドリンクを飲んだり、スナックを食べたり
潮風を浴びたりとゆっくりすることができます
On the day of the event, there was a storm, but it seemed they were going to proceed even in heavy rain. Since the kappa costume only covers the upper body, the lower half will get soaked down to your underwear, and your shoes will be drenched. It's better to bring a change of clothes.
当日はストームが来ていましたが、土砂降りの雨でも決行するようでした。河童は上半身だけなので、下は下着までずぶ濡れ靴はぐちょぐちょ着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。
There was a bit of cloudiness, but thanks to the captain and the curly-haired brother, I had a great time! I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time!
少し曇りもありましたがキャプテンとチリチリ頭のお兄さんのおかげでとても楽しむことができました!
次回またハワイにきたら絶対参加したいです!
It took just under an hour from the pick-up to boarding, and we spent two hours on the boat. I think how many whales you can see depends on the timing, but since it was the season, I was a bit too hopeful and was a little disappointed to only see them a few times in the distance. Although it was in English, I enjoyed the fun facts about whales that were shared!
送迎から乗船まで1時間弱、船に乗っている時間2時間でした。クジラがどれくらい見られるかはそのときのタイミングによると思いますが、シーズンということもあり期待しすぎていたあまり、数回遠くに見える程度だったので少し残念に思ってしまいました。英語ではありましたが、クジラについての豆知識をお話ししてくれて楽しめました!
The onboard announcements will tell you which direction to look for the whales, but by the time you hear that, the whales may have already moved. I recommend checking the surrounding commotion and rus
船内アナウンスで何時の方向に見えましたと英語で言ってくれますが、それを聞いてからではクジラも移動してしまうので、周りのざわつく様子を確認して駆け寄ることをおすすめします!
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回のクルーズにてクジラが数回遠くに見えた事が満足されなかった事を残念に思いましすが、朝のクルーズと共に船上からのワイキキの景色とクジラの生態のインフォを楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。今回のお声とお写真を有難うございます。次回も是非ハワイでお待ちしております。
You can enjoy horseback riding while taking in the stunning views of the beach in Haleiwa. Each horse is well-trained and responds perfectly to commands. The view from atop the horse is fantastic. The instructor was cheerful and always attentive. It was also a nice touch that they provided photos taken during the ride. However, the time for exploring Haleiwa was short, and it was a bit disappointing that we only had enough time to eat.
ハレイワの海辺の絶景を眺めながら乗馬ができます。どの馬も慣れていて、きちんと指示通りに動いてくれます。馬上からの眺めは最高です。インストラクターの方は陽気で常に気をつかってくれました。道中撮った写真を配信してくれるのも嬉しいサービスです。ただ、ハレイワ散策の時間は短く、食事するだけでいっぱいなのはちょっと残念でした。
Since horseback riding is just a slow walk, advanced riders might find it unsatisfying.
乗馬はゆっくり歩くだけなので、上級者は物足りないかもしれません。
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。乗馬をお楽しみいただけたようで何よりです。どうしても乗馬の後のハレイワ散策はお時間が短くなってしまいます。弊社ではハレイワタウンに3時間滞在する「ノースショアたっぷりハレイワタウン」もございますので、次回はそちらもご検討下さい。またハワイでお会いできるのを楽しみにしております!
I boarded the Star of Honolulu and participated in a whale watch. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales that day. We gathered at 8:45, but we left the hotel early and took an Uber because my wife doesn't like getting seasick, so we chose the Star of Honolulu.
We were warmly welcomed by the crew and the captain as we boarded the ship. The crew provided us with drinks and banana cake, along with explanations about the enjoyment of whale watching and the ecology of whales before we set sail.
We each went to the third deck and the rooftop deck, ready for the whale watch. Squinting our eyes and listening to the announcements over the ship's intercom, we soaked up the sun while looking at the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, but the whales didn't appear for quite a while. After turning back, we ended up spending over two hours on board without seeing any whales this time. However, it was a fun time. On the way back, we received tickets to board again, and I'm looking forward to the next time!
スターオブホノルルに乗船してホエールウォッチ参加しました 残念ながら当日は見れませんでした。8:45集合でしたがホテルを早めに出てUberで 妻が船酔いが嫌なのでスターオブホノルルにしました
クルーや船長の暖かい出迎えで船内に
クルーからの説明でドリンクとバナナケーキを。ホエールウォッチの楽しみやホエールの生態などの説明があり出航
3階デッキや屋上デッキに各々行きいざホエールウォッチ 眼を細めて また艦内放送からのお知らせを聞きながら日光にあたりワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドをみながら、なかなか現れないホエール 折り返してから結局2時間あまりの乗船で今回は見れませんでした。でも楽しいひと時でした。帰りにまた乗船出来るチケットをもらい次回を楽しみにしてます
It's all about luck whether you can see it, so please enjoy!
見れるかは運なのですから楽しんでください
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu as a couple. Unfortunately, we did not see any whales this time, but we are very pleased that you both enjoyed the morning cruise. Thank you for the many photos and your review. We look forward to your next visit. We hope you will be able to see whales on your next trip with us.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回は残念ながらクジラが現れませんでしたが、朝のクルーズをお二人で楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。沢山のお写真と今回の口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。次回の再乗船にてクジラが見れると良いですね。
I finally got to go to the Makapu'u Trail, which I've been interested in for a long time! When we stopped by the blowhole, it was raining heavily, but by the time we reached Makapu'u, the weather cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The views of Kailua and the mountains were stunning. The driver was very kind and made a stop at Leonard's for everyone’s request, so we didn’t have to go to the shop ourselves. I heard some people took the Blue Line of the Waikiki Trolley, but I think the tour is convenient and offers good value for both time and cost. I was hoping to see whales, but unfortunately, we didn’t spot any. If we had, it would have been a five-star experience. Thank you!
前から興味を持っていた、マカプウトレイルにとうとう行けました!ブローホールに立ちよった時は雨がひどかったのですが、マカプウについた頃は晴れて、景色を堪能できました。カイルア方面や山々、絶景でした。ドライバーさんがとても親切で、みんなのリクエストでレナーズのトラックにも寄ってくれたので、お店に行かなくてもすみました。ワイキキトロリーのブルーラインで行く方もいるようですが、ツアーが便利でタイパ、コスパともにいいと思います。クジラも期待していたのですが、見られませんでした。見られたら⭐5つです。ありがとうございました。
Since the wind was strong, please be careful not to let your hat fly away. During this time of year, when it rains, your body can get cold, so take precautions.
風が強かったので、帽子を飛ばされないように気をつけてください。この時期、雨がふると体が冷えるので対策を。
Thank you, Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe. I entrusted you with the local options, and thanks to you, I was able to see whales, which was wonderful. I look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises.
ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸田村さん ありがとうございました 現地のオプションもおまかせとの事で依頼しました。おかげさまでクジラも見れてよかったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いします
Winter in Hawaii is cold, and the waves are high. It's better to have motion sickness medication.
冬のハワイは寒い 波も高い 酔い止め薬があった方が良いです
Thank you very much for coming aboard our Star of Honolulu with your friends. It was truly wonderful to see whales, wasn't it? We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にお友達とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラも見れて本当に良かったですね。又のお越しをハワイにてお待ちしております。
The biggest advantage is that it specializes in transportation, allowing you to focus on hiking at your own pace without unnecessary sightseeing guides or time constraints. The panoramic view from the summit is breathtaking, but the crowds due to its popularity are unavoidable. By using this shuttle, you can smoothly return to Waikiki after descending in the morning, making it a very practical option for those who want to make effective use of their time.
送迎に特化しているため、余計な観光案内や拘束時間がなく、自分のペースでハイキングに集中できる点が最大のメリットと言えます。
頂上からのパノラマビューは圧巻ですが、人気スポットゆえの混雑は避けられません。このシャトルを利用すれば下山後もスムーズにワイキキへ朝には戻れるため、時間を有効に活用したい方には非常に実用的な選択肢です。
The hospitable guides and Japanese staff provided various support, allowing us to enjoy driving the Raptor, fully experiencing nature, and listening to lectures about Hawaiian traditional culture, myths, and nature. Driving the Raptor is super easy even for women, and it's so much fun!
ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんや日本人スタッフさんたちが色々とサポートしてくれるので、楽しくラプターを運転して、大自然を満喫して、ハワイの伝承文化や神話や自然についてのレクチャーを聞いたりできました。ラプターの運転は女性でも超簡単で、楽しすぎます。
The explanation videos in English are easier to understand than those in Japanese.
Be punctual.
There is time to take photos.
It's easier with a mask.
Please put tips in the container after fi
英語の説明動画のほうが日本語のものよりわかりやすいです。
時間厳守です。

The day before, there was a heavy rain warning and the weather was bad, but on the day itself, it was sunny with gentle winds, making it perfect for whale watching. As we went up to the deck and waited, we received a message from the captain! Looking in that direction, we saw a cute tail 😍😍😍—there was a baby whale! After a while, many boats gathered, and everyone started watching! I wanted to take photos, but they quickly went underwater, so I hope you can burn the memory into your mind. You could see the whale's spout even from a distance, and it moved in that direction. Although it was a short time, we were able to see a lot. Also, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was amazing! I want to go again.
前日は大雨警報が天気が悪かったのですが、当日は晴れて風も穏やかで、絶好の鯨ウォッチング日和でした。デッキに上がって待っていると船長からのメッセージ!そちらの方向を見ていると可愛い尻尾が😍😍😍ベビー鯨がいました。しばらくするとたくさんの船が集まってきてみんなでウォッチング!写真!をと思っているとすぐに水中に入ってしまうので是非目に焼き付けて欲しいです。🐳の潮吹きが遠目でもよく見えてそちらの方向へ移動してくださいます。短い時間でしたがたくさん見る事ができました。また、船からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高!また行きたいです。
Once the ship starts moving, I recommend moving to the top deck right away! The sun is strong, so a hat and sunglasses are a must.
船が動き出したらすぐに1番上のデッキに移動するのがおすすめ!日差しが強いので帽子、サングラス必須ですね。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your friends. The weather was really nice, and we are so glad about that. We are also delighted that you were able to see the adorable mother and baby whales. Thank you for your positive review and the photos. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にお友達とお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お天気も大変良くて本当に良かったですね。そして、かわいいクジラの親子も見れてスタッフ一同嬉しく思います。ポジティブな口コミとお写真も有難うございました。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly with cloudy skies and some wind, but riding horses in the open scenery of the highlands was very enjoyable and became a memorable experience. The staff provided thorough guidance, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. There were also opportunities to speed up and run a couple of times, which was great because it added a bit of active fun to the leisurely riding. The time spent riding through the vast Kohala Coast ranch felt extraordinary and was very soothing.
当日は風があり曇り空で少し肌寒かったのですが、高原の開放的な景色の中での乗馬はとても楽しく、思い出に残る体験になりました。スタッフの方も丁寧に案内してくださり、安心して参加することができました。途中で2回ほどスピードを上げて走る機会もあり、ゆったりした乗馬だけでなく、少しアクティブな楽しさも味わえたのが良かったです。広大なコハラ・コーストの牧場を馬に乗って進む時間は非日常感があり、とても癒やされました。
On windy days, the perceived temperature in the highlands is lower, making it feel a bit cold (having something to wear over is reassuring).
風がある日は高原のため体感温度が低く、少し寒く感じた(羽織るものがあると安心)
The tour time was neither too busy nor too leisurely; it was a good amount of time. The view from Diamond Head was very beautiful, and it was a great experience to participate.
ツアーの時間は忙しくもなく時間を持て余すわけでもない、いい時間でした。ダイアモンドヘッドからの景色はとても綺麗で参加していい体験でした。
We saw whales several times and were able to see them in various forms. Thank you for the precious experience. Also, the bread and Kona coffee included in the tour were delicious, and we had a great time.
数回くじらが出現しており、いろいろな姿が見れました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
また、ツアーに付属しているパン、コナコーヒーも美味しくいい時間を過ごせました。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. It was truly wonderful to see whales a few times. We are all honored to have been able to help create good memories for you in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to seeing you again next time in Hawaii.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。数回クジラが見れたのは本当に良かったですね。今回ハワイでの良い思い出のお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
I participated in the earliest time slot experience. On the way to Diamond Head in the shuttle, I saw many people running. Mornings in Hawaii start early! Whether you can see the sunrise or not, I highly recommend this experience for morning activities! The shuttle takes you to the ticket office, so it requires less stamina than climbing from the bottom. I did this experience on my first morning in Hawaii and established a rhythm for waking up early.
1番早い時間帯の体験に参加しました。
送迎車でダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう途中、ランニングしている人もたくさん見ます。ハワイの朝は早い!
日の出が見れても見れなくても、朝活にぜひおすすめの体験です!券売所まで送迎してくれるので、下から登るより体力は要りません。ハワイ初めての朝にこの体験をし、早起きのリズムをつくりました。
It's best to avoid arriving exactly at the pickup time. Both pickups and drop-offs tend to arrive early.
迎え時間ピッタリに向かうのは避けた方が良いです。迎えも、送りも、早めに来ます。
It's cold due to the wind and water, so make sure to bring extra towels and warm clothing like a hoodie. The boat will sway in the rough northern waves until you reach the spot, which is fun like a roller coaster, but… I did feel a bit seasick.
There are a lot of sharks in front of the cage, so you can see them from above. From inside the cage… it's a bit underwhelming. You can see them if you try hard enough, but it might not be suitable for girls or children.
You get tossed around by the waves and the cage, so it’s cold and painful. I think it’s fun, though!
風、水で寒いので、タオル多め、パーカーなど防寒着は必ず。
スポットに着くまでに船がノースの荒波に揺られるので、ジェットコースターみたいに楽しいけれど…やはり半分は酔ってました。
ケージの前にサメがたくさんいるので上から見れます。
ケージの中からは…微妙。
頑張れば見れるけど、女の子、子供とかは不向きかも。
波とケージに体をぶつけられるので、寒い、痛い。
楽しいのは楽しいと思う。
I get seasick.
It's cold, so wear warm clothing.
You can see sharks better at the aquarium.
船酔いはします。
寒いので防寒着を。
サメは水族館の方が見れる。
Thank you for the review and I am sorry that mother nature threw in some choppy conditions that day. Hopefully, we will see you on your next Hawaiian adventure during better conditions.
I was able to make a reservation at a great deal using points. In expensive Hawaii, it didn't feel too pricey since it included tips. The day before, I had an à la carte meal at a different restaurant that cost $100, so I really think this was a great deal.
ポイントを使ってお得に予約できました。なんでも高いハワイでは、チップ込みなので高くは感じませんでした。前日違うお店でアラカルトで食事しましたが、100ドルでしたので、ホントにお得だと思います。
The food is not exceptionally delicious, but it comes with dessert and coffee. It's a great place for couples to enjoy a leisurely meal, and I recommend it.
素晴らしく美味しいお料理ではありませんが、デザートとコーヒーも付いています。カップルでゆっくりお食事できて、お勧めです。
The crew was a kind and handsome pair of brothers. The boat was fast, and there were several thrilling moments that made my stomach drop. Parasailing was simply delightful! Once the harness was secured, we floated up, and my daughter exclaimed, "It feels just like Soarin'!" It truly was an extravagantly real Soarin' experience.
Before taking off, they checked if it was okay to get wet in the sea, and after I answered "OK," we were splashed down to our waists twice in a grand manner. The landing was also soft and well-executed.
After disembarking, you can decide whether to purchase the photos after checking the images on a PC. They also transferred the data directly to our smartphones and provided an SD card as well.
クルーは親切なイケメン兄弟でした。
船は速くて、胃が浮くようなスリリングな揺れが何度か。
パラセーリングは、ただただ気持ちよかったです!ハーネスをつなぐとスーッと浮き上がって、娘が、ソアリンみたいー!と叫んでいて、確かに贅沢すぎるリアルソアリンでした。
飛ぶ前に海に浸かって大丈夫か確認があり、OKと答えたら、豪快に2回腰まで浸かりました。着地もフワッと上手でした。
写真は下船後、PCで画像を確認してから購入するか決められます。データはその場でスマホに落として、SDカードでも渡してくれました。
Luggage and sandals can be stored under the seat. Tips and photo fees could be paid by card.
荷物とサンダルは、座席の下に入れられます。
チップと写真代は、カードで支払いできました。
I participated in whale watching for the first time. Searching for whales while enjoying the beautiful sea from a stable, clean boat was quite interesting. I was able to see the tails of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles, and I was particularly happy to see two whale tails side by side. The staff mentioned that during whale watching, it's more about catching a glimpse of the whale's back when it jumps rather than seeing the entire whale, which I had assumed would be the case. I thought the operating company was very sincere and a wonderful organization.
ホエールウォッチングにはじめて参加してみました。
揺れの少ない綺麗なボートで、綺麗な海を眺めながらのクジラ探しはなかなか面白かったです。
見れたのはクジラの尾ひれ、イルカ、海亀で、クジラの尾ひれが二頭並んで見れたのが嬉しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングは、クジラ全体が見えると言うよりは、運が良ければジャンプしたときにクジラの背などが見えるという感じだとスタッフの方が言っていました(クジラ全体が見えると思い込んでいました。
運営会社はとても誠実で素晴らしい会社だと思いました。
It seems that it's better to take motion sickness medication. There were also people who were feeling seasick.
酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いようです。
船酔いしている人もいました。
Trolling was a bust but the day was filled with catching small fish and seeing whales up close
Friendly staff, great time!!
Aloha Beth,
Thank you for your 5-star review with your nice pictures! We are looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
Tour driver was so kind and even born in that valley! He had so much great info and was so careful driving us
would do a taro sample at the end
Had an amazing time out fishing with the crew, my husband caught a couple fish and we saw so many whales up close. The crew and captain are very engaging and quick to help out, they cleaned our fish and gave us pointers on how to cook it. Such a great experience, would definitely do it again! Thank you!
Friendly host greeted us at the baggage claim. Driver was enthusiastic, friendly and funny.
First off the driver, Matthew was great, I couldn't find the pick up spot and he called me and got me there. My fault, I get lost crossing the street. It was rainy, but the place was packed for the 6:15 am trip. 2vhours is more than enough to hike to the top and take pictures along the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
運良く、天候に恵まれて楽しむことができました。英語ができた方が意思が伝えられるので良いです。着地では少し水に濡れてOKと伝えて、楽しむことができました。
船がけっこう揺れました。酔い止めが必要かも知れません。
Three of my kids participated in the swimming with the dolphins and LOVED IT! One even said it was the best day of her life! It was very informative and Patrick had a really great personality and interacted with well with all the participants in the group. I highly recommend going to Dolphin Quest at the Hilton Waikoloa!
On the last day in Hawaii, I was looking for an easy activity that I could do in a limited amount of time, and I found availability here. Despite making a reservation on the morning of the same day, the process went very smoothly, which was great. The reception location was a bit hard to find, but there was a van with the company name on it as a landmark. There were two young women at the reception (one of whom was fluent in Japanese), and the crew consisted of two young men who spoke English, but there were no communication issues. The ride to the spot felt like a fast cruise, which was enjoyable in itself. I had some slight anxiety about how the landing would go during the parasailing, but it was operated very skillfully, and I naturally landed behind the boat. It was a truly valuable experience.
ハワイの最終日を前に、なにか手軽に限られた時間でできるアクティビティがないかと探していたところ、こちらに空きがありました。当日の午前中に予約したにもかかわらず、大変スムーズに手続ができ良かったです。受付場所はややわかりにくかったですが、社名の入ったバンが止まっているのが目印です。受付は若い女性2名(1名は日本語堪能)、クルーは若い男性2名で英語でしたが、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。スポットに着くまでは高速でのクルーズという感じでそれ自体が楽しかった。パラセイリングも、着地する際はどうするのかななど若干不安がありましたが、非常に上手に操作されて、自然とボートの後ろに着陸するようになってました。大変貴重な体験ができました。
On the day of the event, I was worried because the wind was strong, but it seems that the staff's response was good, and my daughters had a great time. Unfortunately, even after taking motion sickness medication, I still got sick, which was disappointing. I can't help my condition, though...💦
当日は風が強く、大丈夫かなって不安はありましたが、スタッフの方の対応も良くかったみたいで娘たちは楽しい時間を過ごしました。酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまったので、そこが残念でした。体調はしょうがないのですが…💦
Motion sickness medication is essential.
酔い止め必須。
