Hawaii
After leaving the hotel, we had lunch at Punalu'u Bake Shop. There is a small shop and restrooms available. We enjoyed the lunch we ordered and then set off. At Black Sand Beach, we saw a few sea turtles. After that, we stopped by a Kona coffee shop, but there were no small souvenirs available, so we decided not to buy anything. They do offer various samples for tasting.
Finally, we entered the Volcano National Park. We took a short break at the Kīlauea Visitor Center. They informed us about souvenir magnets, restrooms, and smoking areas, so we took a moment to relax. We visited the Kilauea Overlook to see the crater. There was a bit of smoke rising, but there was no eruption. Apparently, it was impressive last year, and we were shown some videos. We enjoyed watching the steam vents releasing smoke for a bit. After that, we were guided to several spots within the national park. We ended with a break at Volcano House Hotel.
After that, there was supposed to be dinner and a night tour... but it didn't happen. We returned to the hotel, and it seems there are no night tours currently since there is no eruption. If you expect a night tour when booking this tour, you might be disappointed, so please be cautious. If you're hoping for a night experience, I think it's better to check in advance with a place that can accommodate you in Japanese. Overall, it was nice to get a general tour of Kīlauea Volcano.
ホテルを出発して、プナルウ ベイク ショップでランチ。
ちょっとした売店とトイレがあります。
頼んでいた昼食を頂き、出発。
黒砂海岸では、ウミガメが数匹いました。
その後、コナコーヒーのショップに寄りましたが、お土産用に小さいのが無く、購入を断念。
試飲では色々頂けます。
いよいよ、火山公園に突入。
キラウエア ビジターセンターでちょっと休憩。
お土産のマグネットと、トイレ、喫煙場所を教えて頂き、一服。
Kilauea Overlookで火口を観光。
ちょっと煙が上がってましたが、噴火はしていません。
昨年はすごかったらしく、動画で見せて頂きました。
スチーム・ベンツで煙が上がるのをちょっと鑑賞。
その後、火山公園内を数か所案内して頂きました。
最後にボルケーノ ハウス ホテルで休憩。
その後に、夕食と夜のツアー。。。?なし?
そのまま、ホテルに戻って終了。
いまは噴火していないからか、夜のツアーはありません。
それを期待して、このツアーを申し込むとがっかりしますので、ご注意を。
夜を期待するならば、日本語で対応可能な所に、事前に確認した方が良いと思います。
ただまあ、キラウエア火山をざっくりと回ることが出来たのは良かったです。
Hema was our guide and she was so much fun. Not only did she make us laugh and feel comfortable, but also informed us of the history of the sugar cane industry and the history of the island itself.
There was so much information give all while floating down the lazy river. My husband does not like water but really enjoyed this. They provided us croc shoes which were adequate but I wish I had decided to take my own water shoes just for comfort.
Everyone had fun and lunch was enjoyable even for me (celiac). It was something I would suggest everyone do. A moderate amount of fitness is suggested... I am older and a little overweight but had no problem with this tour.
So much fun and thanks to the group we were with. They were all really fun!
Our stargazing tour with Yoshi was an experience we won't forget! Yoshi was very knowledgeable about Haleakala and so many stars and constellations. He made sure that our tour had an ideal, not crowded spot for the sunset and stargazing (despite the large crowds in other areas). He provided hot tea, warm jackets, and chairs for viewing, and made sure that each person got a chance to gaze through his telescope while he pointed out constellations and planets. He also had very convenient pickup/drop-off locations. We would definitely recommend it!
This tour was absolutely amazing! I would book this again in a heartbeat. The staff was great. The ride was great. The food was great. The drinks were great. I honestly can’t say great enough. They highly exceeded our expectations!
The experience of driving the 4-wheel buggy course at Kualoa Ranch was fantastic with beautiful scenery, and the staff were friendly. However, the waiting times after pickup and before starting, as well as after finishing and waiting for the return shuttle, were over 3 hours in total—2 hours and more than 1 hour respectively. Even with shopping for souvenirs and having a meal, it felt like too much time. There were no other attractions to pass the time, making it a boring and wasted experience. It would be more efficient to skip the shuttle and book directly on-site, as it would save valuable time during a day in Hawaii.
4輪バギーでのクアロアランチのコース走破体験自体は凄く景観良くて
スタッフもフレンドリーで良かったのですが、ピックアップ後に現地に
ついてからの開始までのと終わってから帰り送迎までの待ち時間が
それぞれ2時間、1時間以上と計3時間以上もあり、お土産物色や食事をしても
持ち余してしまう。 他に時間をつぶせる見ものも無く退屈で無駄な時間。
貴重なハワイ1日の3時間強を無駄にするから、送迎なして゛直接現地での申し込みにした方が効率的である。
It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.
You can switch drivers along the way, so it seems like fun no matter how many people you go with! The buggy instructors don't speak Japanese, so those who don't understand English might not get much information (laughs). However, they take photos at the key spots, and everyone is friendly♪
Also, since you'll be driving on dry dirt, there's a lot of dust. Be careful, as the helmet can make your face dirty!
途中で運転する人が変われるので、何人で行っても楽しそう!
バギーのインストラクターの人達は、日本語ではないので英語がわからない人は何も伝わらないかも(笑)
でもポイントスポットで写真を撮ってくれるので、みんなフレンドリーです♪
また土が乾いている中で走行するので、砂ぼこりがごっっっついです。あとヘルメットで顔が黒くなるのでご注意を!
As soon as you exit the personal export area, there is a staff member wearing a yellow aloha shirt, making it very easy to find them.
They handled all the luggage for us and dropped us off right in front of the hotel.
They made sure to inform everyone about which hotel it was. Even when it was on the opposite side of the street, they crossed the street to take us there.
I think it's reassuring that they can communicate in Japanese.
個人出口から出てすぐのところに黄色のアロハシャツを着たstaffの人がいてとてもわかりやすいです。
荷物も全て上げ下ろしをしてくださり、ホテルの目の前で泊まってくれました。
きちんとどのホテルかを皆さんに教えてました。通りを挟んだ反対側の時も通りを渡って連れて行ってました。
日本語も通じるので安心だと思います。
Riding a horse leisurely through nature (not on a lead line, but riding solo) is an experience that you can't have in Japan. Just a heads up, after two hours of horseback riding, your butt will definitely be quite sore!
自然の中をゆったり馬に乗りながら(引き馬でなく1人乗りで)進んで行くので、日本ではできない体験だなぁと思います。
乗馬2時間はお尻が相当痛くなりますので、ご注意を!
I felt a sense of security in all aspects, from the guidance to the meeting point for those waiting at the airport's personal exit, to the waiting at the meeting point and the operation of the bus. I definitely want to use this service again next time.
空港の個人出口で待機されている方の集合場所へのご案内、集合場所での待機、バスの運行等々、全てにおいて安心感がありました。次行くときも、ぜひ乗車させてもらいたいと思います。
My husband loved this boat ride so much, it made me so happy!
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds!
We stayed at Marriott and enjoyed the premium upgrade for the luau so much!!
The water is so different over on this snorkel tour, and they pick up from hotel!
Wonderful event, my family had a great time here ending our Maui 2024 trip!
Bring your family, all ages have a wonderful time, and there is plenty of different food choices!
We loved our agent for setting this up ahead of time for us!! MAHALO

Our family was able to go all together, and we all got a window view- couldnt be better
The Hanalei area was our favorite, we were so happy we got out on the river!
Aloha Kara
The Hanalei river and Bay has to be some of the most panoramic paddling on our small island.
Glad you enjoyed our Hanalei blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel.
Thanks and for taking the time to share.
Hope to see you back.
Micco/Head Guide
Liko took such great care of our group, and had so much knowledge on the history of Kauai!
Horses are so loved here, and are so great with guests. We loved this excursion and would come back!
aloha kara, thank you for taking the time to give positive feedback and review from your experience,, we appreciate it so much, yes the horses are very much loved, and they are trained to be guest ready. come back soon.. mahalo, wailea horseback adventure ohana.
The night was ran very smooth. Don't be fooled by its connection to a waterpark as we were worried of the authenticity, but they blew us away!
Wow Kauai is pretty all around, by air and land. My daughter loved this tour most!
An experience like we never had before, the manta rays are gentle giants and the boat guides made our tour even more easy!
Really easy way to get to see so many fabulous spots around the Big Island without needing to drive and look at directions all day!!
Great way to get a bus transfer and a stop at Leonards- a tourist dream :)
The guide is moreso on the bus portions, but overall a great day at PH!
The upgraded cruise was well worth it for us, the food was divine!
Oahu had some serious crystal clear waters! Warm, sunny day of fun with my family- unbeatable.
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the crystal clear waters of Oahu on a warm, sunny day with your family during our tour! We're so glad to have been part of your unforgettable experience! We hope to welcome you back for more fun in the sun on your next visit!
