Hawaii
I participated in a day trip from Honolulu. Since it was my first time on Kauai Island, I wanted to visit the famous sights in just one day. Out of the 20 participants, 7 of us, including myself, were on a day trip from Honolulu. It was great that we had enough time at each sightseeing spot to explore leisurely. We also had a nice, relaxed lunch. At the end, there was an accident that caused traffic delays, and I was worried about whether we would make it back in time for our flight. However, the guide reassured us that they were in contact with someone at the main office and had arranged with the airline to ensure that if we missed our flight, we could catch the next one. I really appreciated that. They mentioned that they monitor the traffic conditions and the bus's current location, which made me feel secure knowing that the company operates with such attention to detail.
ホノルルから日帰りで参加。初めてのカウアイ島だったので、取り敢えず有名な見どころを1日で回りたくて参加しました。20人の参加者のうち私を含めて7名がホノルルからの日帰りでした。見どころ各所で充分な時間がありゆっくりと見学できたのが良かったです。ランチタイムもゆっくりできました。最後に事故渋滞で時間が掛かり帰りのフライトに間に合うかどうかハラハラしましたが、ガイドさんが本社?の人とやり取りしながら、もし万が一乗り遅れても次のフライトに乗れるように航空会社にも頼んでいるので大丈夫ですよと言ってくれたのがありがたかったです。道路の渋滞状況、バスの現在地などを会社でモニターしているとのことでした。細かいところまで気を配りながらきちんとオペレーションしている会社のようで安心です。
アロハ、そしてあなたの思慮深く詳細なレビューに感謝します!
私たちは、あなたが初めての訪問でカウアイを私たちと一緒に体験することを選んでくださったことをとても嬉しく思っています。このツアーが、島のハイライトをリラックスした楽しいペースで見ることを可能にしたことに感謝しています。特に、予期しない交通渋滞中の私たちのチームの対応についてのあなたの優しい言葉に感謝しています。ホノルルからのデイトラベラーにとって、ゲストに安心感を提供することは非常に重要であり、私たちのコミュニケーションと調整があなたの懸念を和らげるのに役立ったことを嬉しく思います。
私たちのチームが各ツアーに注いでいる配慮と注意を認識していただき、ありがとうございます。将来、さらに多くの島の冒険でお迎えできることを楽しみにしています!
心を込めてアロハを込めて、

I participated in mid-February!
It was rainy, but thanks to that, it wasn't too hot, and I was able to look for whales from the deck.
During the ride to the meeting point, the guide talked a lot about the area and sightseeing, making the trip enjoyable.
On the boat, we were served delicious original cake and coffee before departure, which served as a nice breakfast. The original pineapple banana cake was moist and tasty.
During the whale watching, the guide indicated where the whales were based on the direction of the clock, so there was a high probability of seeing whales multiple times.
Not only did we see whales, but we were also lucky enough to see sea turtles up close!
The view from the boat was also amazing, and I was moved by the beauty of Diamond Head and the horizon.
It became a wonderful memory, and I am very satisfied.
2月中旬に参加しました!
雨模様だったのですがそのおかげで暑すぎることなく、デッキでクジラを探すことが出来ました。
お迎えの車中ではガイドさんがエリアや観光についてたくさん話して下さり、移動も楽しかったです。
船では美味しいオリジナルケーキとコーヒーが出港前に食べられるので、朝ごはん代わりになりました。オリジナルのパイナップルバナナケーキはしっとりしてて美味しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングの最中は時計の方向でクジラがどこにいるかを教えてくれるので殆どの確率で何度かクジラを見ることが出来ます。
クジラだけではなくウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たのでとても幸運でした!
そして船上からの景色も素晴らしく、ダイヤモンドヘッドや水平線の美しさに感動しました。
とても素敵な思い出になり、満足です。
It can be cold on the boat, so it's important to wear a jacket and a hat that won't get blown away. Also, the floor inside the boat can be slippery with water, so I recommend wearing sneakers.
船上は寒いので羽織れる洋服と帽子は飛ばされないように注意が必要です。あと船の中は水で滑るのでスニーカーが良いと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat (and it was great that you also saw sea turtles). We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で(海亀も見れて良かったですね)大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Had an amazing trip. Kind and friendly, locally owned and operated. Would highly recommend.
Thought this was gonna be some lame tubing float down some old ditch but to our surprise... there were freaking long tunnels with shimmering gold and silver inside the walls of the long tunnels, singing and cheering, sweeping turns, great company and a beautiful route! Highly recommend. Ask for Megan.

I took TheBus to the meeting point. It was $7 round trip (since it's $7 for unlimited rides in a day). It's necessary to check in advance how to ride TheBus and how to find routes (you can find bus stops using Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (which is sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an unlimited supply of fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouts are a good indicator. I witnessed a few spouts, but they rarely appeared above the water. I participated with the image from the last attached photo in mind, but this time we only managed to see the tail fin to some extent during the whale watching.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復$7でOKです(一日$7で乗り放題なので)。TheBusの乗り方や経路(Googleでバス停が案内可能です)の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー(予約完了後にメールで送られる)を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした(そんなに食べられませんが)。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
If whales are not seen (it's a bit gray how much), it seems you can participate again. Whether you can witness them depends solely on timing, so all we can do is pray.
クジラが見られない場合は(どの程度かグレーですが)、再度参加可能とのこと。目撃できるかはタイミングしかないので、祈るしかないですね。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the snacks. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や軽食も楽しんで頂き嬉しく思っております。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
What we signed up for was a nice sunset cruise, and that was wonderful with drinks and food. What was the added bonus was up close and intimate whale watching! Such an incredible time!
They arrived on time, and everything went very smoothly. I felt very secure during the ride to the airport. I would like to make a reservation from here again when I come to Hawaii!
時間通りに来てくれて、とてもスムーズでした。空港までとても安心して乗れました。またハワイにきた時はこちらから予約したいと思います!
I definitely wanted to see this when I came to Hawaii, so I made a reservation. The show was absolutely amazing. It went by in a flash, and I want to see it again.
ハワイに来たら絶対に観に行きたい!と思ってこちらから予約しました。ショーはとても最高でした。あっという間だったので、また観に行きたいです。
They came to pick me up right in front of the hotel, and since the driver and staff spoke Japanese, I felt安心 (at ease). Compared to other shared shuttle companies, they have a lot of destinations, so I think the cost performance is good.
ホテルの目の前まで迎えに来てくれて、日本語ドライバー兼スタッフさんでしたので、安心でした。他の混載送迎の会社に比べて送迎先がたくさんあるので、コスパも良いと思いました。
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and the sea didn't look blue. However, before it started, the music was played loudly, and the guide was great at getting everyone excited, making it a very enjoyable memory! Thanks to the weather, I was able to take some good photos of Jaws, which was a nice surprise!
残念ながら天気は曇りで海が青く見えませんでした。でも始まる前に音楽が爆音でかけられてガイドさんも盛り上げ上手でとても楽しいいい思い出になりました!
天気のお陰で逆にジョーズのいい写真が撮れました笑
This was my first time using the service. The transportation to the accommodation was right in front of the entrance, which made it very convenient. The check-in at the airport was easy to understand, and the staff was cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease. I was also impressed that the bus was equipped to accommodate wheelchair users, showing their commitment to diversity.
今回初めて利用させていただきました。今回の宿泊先の目の前までの送迎だったので、とてもラクでした。空港での受付も分かりやすくスタッフも明るく親切で安心でした。また、車いす利用のお客様に対応したバスだったので、ダイバーシティ対応もできているんだと感心しました。
This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!
これは想像以上でした!!!
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い!
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に6人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。
The reception is at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel poolside. Towels can be borrowed at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel poolside. You can ride while still wearing clothes, but your feet will get wet, so I think sho

又のお越しをお待ちしております!
I was looking for activities to do in Hawaii with my 3-year-old, and I thought this would be a good option, so I made a reservation.
First, we took a larger boat to the diving point. During the ride, they pointed out things like, "Look, they're doing whale watching over there!" which made the journey enjoyable! We were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle. My child had a great time.
Once we were in the submarine, we spent about 45 minutes underwater. While the adults enjoyed it, my active 3-year-old got a bit bored halfway through, and we ended up showing him a video for the last 10 minutes... (laughs)
However, for the first 15 minutes, he was excitedly saying things like, "The fish are waving at me!" I think it was a memorable experience for him since he even reenacted it during bath time when we got home!
Our family is an international marriage family living abroad, so English wasn't an issue for us. The guide was cheerful and shared jokes and interesting facts, which made it enjoyable, but those who are not confident in English might feel a bit left out. I heard that Japanese audio can be downloaded, but it might not always match what the guide is saying.
Overall, I think it was an activity that families with children can enjoy!
今回3歳連れで、ハワイでできるアクティビティを探していて、これはいいんじゃないかなと思って予約しました。
まず潜水ポイントまで、大きめの船で行きます。その時にも、結構「あそこでクジラウォッチングやってるよ、ほらあの方向」とか結構教えてくれて、その道のりも楽しみました!海亀もチラッと見えてとてもラッキーでした。子供もとても楽しんでいました。
潜水艦に潜ってからは45分ほど。大人は楽しめるのですが、うちの3歳動きたい坊やは途中でちょっと飽きてしまって、残り10半のところでビデオを見せることになってしまいました、、笑
でも初めの15分は「お魚さんが手振ってるー」とか言って楽しんでいる様子でした。
家に帰ってからもそれをお風呂で再現したりしているので、きっと心に残った経験だったんだろうなと思っています!
我が家は国際結婚ファミリーで、海外在住なので英語は問題なかったのですが、ガイドが陽気な方で、ジョークをとばしたりうんちくを言ってくれるので、楽しめましたが英語が苦手な方は置いてけぼり感があるかもしれません。日本語オーディオがダウンロードできるとのことでしたが、ガイドが話していることとは必ずしも一致しないと思います。
総じて、子連れで楽しめるアクティビティだったと思います!
At 3 years old, it might be questionable whether they can fully enjoy it, but still, I think it was worth it since there are few activities available for families with small children.
3歳だと100%楽しめるかは微妙かもです、、それでもやっぱり小さい子連れでできることは少ないので、やって良かったと思います。
We loved the ease oahu brought with tours like these where everything is covered for you!
My family had a great time, it is early in the morning so just make sure to have your muscles read nice and early!
We had such a great day on the sandbar, with the easy swimming and clear water alongside fun extras the boat provides!
Aloha,

Took my mom as she shares her bday with elvis, so we had to go all out! the rew treated us like ohana, thank you so much!!
Small and personal theater, the night was full of laughs and I loved the Hawaiian spin!

Aloha and mahalo for your 5-star review!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Highlights Tour. It’s wonderful to hear that our bus guides kept you engaged throughout the ride and helped make it a well-rounded experience. Sharing Hawai‘i’s history and culture with our guests is something we take great pride in.
