Hawaii
We sailed south along the west coast of the Big Island to the Captain Cook landing site. While listening to explanations about the history of the Big Island, we were able to see the magnificent overall view of the island from the sea, which was quite enjoyable. Dinner was a set menu, including cocktails and soft drinks. When requesting a vegetarian meal at the time of reservation, we were served Thai curry. For appetizers, we had a green salad with strawberries, and for dessert, there was a wonderfully sweet chocolate tart cake. Hot coffee (Kona coffee) was also provided. After turning back at the Captain Cook landing site, we headed towards the departing port while witnessing the sunset offshore. Along the way, a family of dolphins came close, which was exciting even though it was for a short time. We also observed small fish, resembling flying fish, actively jumping around. Onboard, there was a live guitar performance, and we had a great time singing along to classic hits that any American would know. Depending on the weather, the boat might sway a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to bring motion sickness medication.
ハワイ島西海岸沿いの沖合をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下。ハワイ島の歴史に関する説明を聞きながら、西海岸沖の海上から雄大なハワイ島の全体像を見ることができ、これだけでもかなり楽しめます。夕食はセットメニューで、カクテルやソフトドリンクがついています。ベジタリアンミールを希望するときは予約時に選択すると、タイカレーが提供されました。前菜としてイチゴの入ったグリーンサラダ、デザートにはめいっぱい甘いチョコレートタルトケーキがでました。ホットコーヒー(コナコーヒー)も提供してくれます。キャプテンクック上陸点で折り返し、沖合でサンセットを見届けると出発した港に向けて航路を向けますが、途中でイルカの家族が近くまで来てくれて、短い時間でしたが盛り上がりました。アジサシ?のような小さな飛び魚のような魚が盛んに飛びながらおよいでいるのも観察できました。船上ではギターのライブ演奏があり、アメリカ人ならだれでも知っている往年のヒット曲で大いに盛り上がりました。天候によっては多少揺れると思いますので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを持って行った方がよいかもしれません。
There is absolutely no support for Japanese tourists. Everything is in English, so those who are not confident in their English may miss out on what is being discussed, but I think you can still enjoy
日本人観光客に対する対応はまったくありません。すべて英語ですので、英語に不安のある方は話をしている内容が聞き取れずもったいないように思いますが、単純にサンセットクルーズだけでも楽しめるかと思います。
We participated as a family. It was enjoyable not just as a hula dance but also as a show with singing and dancing. I think people of all ages can easily have fun.
家族で参加しました
フラダンスだけでなく歌や踊りのショーとして楽しめました
年代に関係なく気軽に楽しめると思います
Please relax and enjoy.
リラックスして楽しんでください
Thank you very much for bringing your family to the Rockafl Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the entertainment overall. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーに御家族でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。全体的にエンターテインメントを楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The snorkel trip was awesome! I was reluctant to go snorkeling at all but it was the highlight of our trip! The crew was very nice and very helpful. The boat was beautiful. We were lucky because the water was clear, and there were lots of turtles and so many fish! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
This is my second time on board since 2017. The weather was nice, and I was able to spend a wonderful time feeling great. Although I didn't see any honu, the captain found a whale for us, and we were able to see it spouting water and showing its tail.
2017年以来の2度目の乗船。
天気も良く、気持ちよく最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ホヌは見れませんでしたが、船長がクジラを見つけて
くれて、クジラが潮を吹き、尾びれを出している所まで見れました。
As mentioned in the guide, it's good to wear sandals and shorts when boarding and disembarking, as you will briefly enter the water. I still got a little wet. It might be a good idea to bring a rainco
案内にも記述がありますが、
乗船時、下船時に海に一瞬入るためサンダル、半パンが良いです。それでも少し濡れました。
天候が悪いときに備えて、100円ショップのカッパを持っていっても良いかもしれません。
There are various activities available, but I chose the zip line. It turned out to be the right choice. There are five lines (or six?), and I had a more fulfilling experience than I expected. Next, I would like to try horseback riding.
いろいろなアクティビティがるが、ジップラインを選択しました。結果正解です。ラインも
5本(6本?)あり、想定していたより充実した体験ができました。次は乗馬を体験したい
と思います。
Shorts are fine. Try not to worry too much about the smell of sweat from the gear.
半ズボンでも問題ありません。少々装備の汗の香りは気にしないように。
We appreciated Izzie being informative and fun. She made sure that we were well prepared for an awesome adventure!!
Aloha Utahan,
Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.
If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.
Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.
Thanks for taking the time and Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,
Micco/Head Guide
Great crew. Better than expected. I would definitely do this again.
Do it!
Greeter met us as we expected and was very welcoming. The flowers were fresh and beautiful. Exceeded our expectations.
What’s super wonderful trip - the staff could not be more fun!
None
Great guide and really fun! My family and I biked around the ranch. Very beautiful.
I signed up mainly to see the sunset, but unfortunately, due to heavy traffic, the time to enjoy the sunset was shortened. However, the stargazing afterward was wonderful, truly like a natural planetarium, and I was very moved. The guide, Yamapi, was also interesting, and although it was a long travel time, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again and recommend it to my family.
夕焼けをメインで観に行きたく申し込んだが、あいにくの大渋滞で夕焼けを楽しむ時間は短かくなりました。ただその後の星空鑑賞が素晴らしく、まさに天然のプラネタリウムでとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんの話も面白く、長い移動時間ではあったが飽きずに楽しめました。機会があればまた参加し、家族にも勧めたいと思います。
The summit is quite cold. There are rentals for cold-weather gear, but it would be wise to prepare your own warm clothing and hand warmers as well.
山頂はかなり寒いです。防寒具の貸し出しはありますが、自身でも防寒やホッカイロの用意などをしておいた方がよさそうです。
Josh gave us a great tour of Lani. We enjoyed seeing the beach and features of the island.
Good experience, wonderful tropical garden island.
I was extremely nervous due a life long crippling fear of heights, but due to the amazing guides Hillary and Taelen I had the time of my life! They were fun, polite, encouraging and most importantly -professional! They absolutely made the experience the best possible! No matter how much they are being paid - it's not nearly enough!
There is one steep but relatively short hike between platforms. Don't quit there! Just go slow.
I loved doing this. It was beautiful and inspiring to be above the clouds for a sunset. The bus tour was lengthy, but I wasn’t brave enough to drive my rental up a mountain. Also it was great to get some narration from the driver. Now I know what to expect, and I’ll be brave enough to drive it myself next time I visit.
It’s cold. There’s no shame in bringing all warm layers you have. Don’t go in flip flops!
We absolutely loved everything about this Luau - the food, service, the music, and definitely the dancers!! Worth the money and we highly recommend this five star luau. The dancers are incredible and the music was outstanding!! Breathtaking views and everything was perfect!!
Plan ahead because it might sell out!!
This was a standard whale watching experience. Boat was nice and clean. Crew was friendly and fun . We didn’t have much luck seeing whales, but it was early in the migration season. If nothing else then it a a nice boat ride around beautiful Maui.
Seats are first come first serve. If you want front row then pick up the pace when walking to boat.
We had a fully handicap person with us and the crew was great. They lifted her, in her electric wheelchair, onto the boat. She had room to move around the boat with ease. The bathrooms were not accessible but that was ok. The crew kept checking on her and made sure she was comfortable. It was a good experience, something that she wouldn't normally have been able to do. We were able to snorkel (not her), and didn't have to worry about her not being comfortable. We did not see any turtles, but got to see a small whale.
I would recommend this excursion.
We are so happy to hear you had a great time on the Four Winds! Mahalo for your review.
It was my first experience, and it was more fun than I imagined. We were blessed with good weather, and the view of the blue sea and sky, along with the scenery from Waikiki and Diamond Head, was amazing!
初めての体験でしたが想像以上に楽しかった。天気にも恵まれ青い海と空、ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドの沖から見る景色は最高!
Please try it once.
一度やってみて下さい
Due to the increase in passengers for the Honolulu Marathon, the meeting point was suddenly changed. The reservation change made online was not communicated to the staff on-site, resulting in a lengthy check-in process. On the other hand, the driver was kind.
ホノルルマラソンの乗客増で、待ち合わせ場所が急遽変更。都合でWEBで予約変更したのが現場に伝わっておらずチェックインに時間がかかりすぎ。一方、運転手は親切でした。
You may need to double-check when changing your reservation.
予約変更した時は再確認必要かも
There are often clouds on the horizon, so you might not be able to see the sunset, but the mood is absolutely fantastic. Although there are only light snacks and alcohol, I really enjoyed the 90-minute sailing.
水平線上に雲が出ることが多いので夕陽の沈むタイミングは見られないかもしれませんが、何よりムードが最高です。
軽食とアルコールのみですが90分間のセーリングはとても楽しめました。
Everything is running on time, so there's no need to go early; just make sure to arrive by the meeting time.
全て時間通りに運営されているので、早く行く必要はなく、集合時間に間に合えば良いです。
I participated with my 10-year-old child and my mother in her 70s. Just to be safe, we borrowed life jackets on-site. It really felt like we were surfing, and the waves and wind were refreshing; we had an amazing time! I highly recommend it.
10歳の子供と70代の母と一緒に参加しました。念の為ライフジャケットは現地で借りました。
本当にサーフィンをしているようで、波と風が気持ちよく、最高に楽しみました!
おすすめです。
Dear Cherry,
We are honored that you and your family enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to your next visit.
チェリー様:
ご家族皆様でお楽しみいただき、光栄です。またのお越しをお待ちしております。
Our tour guide was Wes. He was an excellent tour guide in charge was knowledgeable, entertaining & a historian of Hawaiian culture. We learned so much. We were touched so profoundly by the memorials.🇺🇸💝
Walking shoes & water bottle are a must.
We learned so much and enjoyed Burt, our guide. He was entertaining, knowledgeable & made the whole experience memorable.
It was a valuable time where I could experience something new. The service was also attentive and wonderful. Thank you very much.
新しいことを体感出来る価値ある時間でした。サービスもきめ細やかで素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。
Definitely worth a try.
挑戦する価値あり
I went the day before the Honolulu Marathon. A few years ago, it was canceled due to strong winds, so I had high expectations, and it exceeded them! There were two of us participating, but it would be fine with three as well. The scenery is extraordinary!
ホノルルマラソン前日に行って来ました。
数年前は強風で中止になった分、期待大きかったのにそれを上回る充実感です!
私達は2人参加でしたが3人でも大丈夫です。
非日常の景色ですよ〜
Please come dressed in a way that it's okay to get wet. Fashion is not necessary.
濡れても良い格好で来て下さい。
オシャレ無用かと。
Unfortunately, it was rainy and cloudy. However, once it started, it wasn't raining, but I still couldn't capture the sunset beautifully. The staff worked hard to take many photos to make it look nice, and I had a very good experience. Thank you very much! 😊
あいにく雨で 曇りでした💦 でも 始まると雨も降ってなく でも やっぱり サンセットが あまり綺麗に撮れなかったけど スタッフの皆さんが 一生懸命 綺麗に映るように 写真をいっぱい撮って下さって とても良い体験が出来ました(o^^o) 感謝 ありがとうございました😊
The event was a very nicely performed Polynesian event with drums, Hula dancing and dancing with flame torches.
Could not hear the MC because the music was so loud
I was hesitant about participating, but after seeing others flying from the beach, I decided to join and registered on the morning of the event. I was able to participate even alone. My Japanese was limited to a few words, but I understood the gist through gestures. I thought it would take about three hours, but since there were only four of us, it finished in about an hour after check-in. I walked back to Waikiki Beach, which took about 20 minutes. The view was great, and I'm glad I took the plunge and participated.
参加ヲさん迷っていましたが、ビーチから飛んで居るのを見て参加を決めたので当日の朝の申し込みです。ひとりでも参加出来ました。日本語は単語程度でしたが身振り手振りでだいたいわかりました。3時間くらいかかるのかと思っていましたが4人だけだったためかチェックインしてから1時間くらいで終わりました。ワイキキビーチまで20分くらい歩いて帰りました。眺めも良く思いきって参加して良かったです。
I participated alone as a Japanese person, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had joined with friends or family.
私は日本人ひとりでの参加でしたが、やっぱり友達や家族と参加した方がもっと楽しめたと思います。
Booked the SUV trip around Lana'i. Our driver, Josh, was fun (even with a hurt ankle). He was informative and had loads of family and local stories. We lucked out with a very clear day. Saw a dolphin, whales, turkeys, deer, frankolins, and a beautiful views.
Right from the original phone call, until we were dropped back off at the ferry. The staff was great. Their response time is quick. The instructions they sent are very clear, we had no questions to where to go, what was going to happen, etc.
