First, we had a meal and then enjoyed a hula dance. The food was delicious. My 7-year-old son was having a great time experiencing the hula dance. After that, there was a show. At first, it was entertaining, but while I know Michael from the impersonation contest, I didn't recognize the other person, so I couldn't find it funny, just noting that he had a lot of chest hair. It felt like an unknown guy was singing while showing off his chest hair. My son was fast asleep.

We ended up here because the boat got lost, but my son said he preferred the boat. For people in their 20s and 30s, the characters might feel too outdated. It just becomes a situation where you keep listening to old music you don't know.

It felt like tracing the history of Hawaiian music. Both my son and husband said the fire show was amazing.

あとはショー。最初は面白かったのですが、
モノマネ大会マイケルは知ってますが、もう1人は知らないので、胸毛が凄いくらいで面白いと思えませんでした。
知らないおじさんが汗を書いて胸毛を出した歌ってるってなります。

まず誰やねんって知らない昔の音楽をただただ聞き続ける事になります。

ハワイの歴史音楽を辿っていくみたいな感じです。
ファイヤーショーは息子も夫もすごいといっていました。

We spent an entire day here. It was far too hot. It would have been much more enjoyable if It had been cooler.
The place itself is well laid out but it's a tourist trap.

Richard was our bus driver and although he wanted to give us as much information as he could, he repeated himself on several topics....I felt like saying to him that it's ok to be quiet on parts of the journey.

Night snorkeling with the manta rays was incredible! We had a wonderful show from six different rays the entire time we were in the water. The guides were all very friendly and helpful. They assist with wetsuits before you board, then assist with masks onboard, and assist with floating noodles and less-experienced swimmers while in the water.

A word of warning - the water (and subsequently, the boat) were rolling intensely once we left the dock. And once you leave the dock, there is nowhere to go to get away from the rolling. Several individuals succumb to seasickness on our cruise. Not sure if maybe the ocean was just rough on our night, or if this amount of rocking is normal. Either way, I would advise caution if you are sensitive to motion sickness or vertigo.

The Grand Circle Island tour is a great way to have a compact adventure all in one day. It was full of beautiful scenic views of cliffsides, beaches, cooled lava formations, waterfalls, volanic crater, and so much more. You experience a hike through a rainforest with some inclines at times, volcanic steam vents that feel like you're in a sauna, turtle viewing at Black Sand beach, cliffsides overlooking crashing waves, a coffee harvesting & processing walkthrough, a lava tube cave, and much more. Some hikes can be a bit challenging if you have mobility problems but our tour guide Brent is so accommodating and on the HNP Kilauea hike, you can ride along with him to the top of the viewing area if you're not able to do the short walk. Additionally, Brent is not just a tour guide, he will transport you to another time. He wove an amazing storytelling of Native Hawaiin history into the scenic mountains, beaches, historical battleground sites, trees, buildings, fantastical stories, and rich cultural backdrop. I walked away with a deep appreciation for how the Hawaiian island and culture came to be. This was an amazing way to experience the island!

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in two years. It was early in the morning, but the water wasn't as cold as I expected. The fish swimming around are always the same. This time, there was someone who was visiting Hanauma for the first time, so I made a reservation, but the entrance fee is a bit high, so I think it might be good for a while. The driver was handsome and helped by purchasing the entrance tickets all together. The snorkeling set and life jackets were clean.

2年ぶりのハナウマベイに行ってきました。朝一でしたが、予想より水は冷たくなかったです。泳いでる魚は毎回同じです。今回、初ハナウマの人がいたので申込みしましたが、入場料もかるし、とうぶんいいかなぁと思います。ドライバーさんはイケメンで、入場チケットの購入をまとめて購入してくれて、助かりました。シュノーケルセット、ライフジャケットは綺麗でした。

I made a reservation to experience sailing in Hawaii for the first time. The meeting point was easy to find on the first floor of the Outrigger Reef, and we boarded from the beach about a 10-minute walk away. I don't understand English at all, but the translation app worked just fine! The crew members were very considerate, asking if I wanted a drink and if I wanted to take photos. I even saw a rainbow next to Diamond Head! It truly became a wonderful memory!

初めてのハワイで、セーリング体験したいなと思い予約して行きました
集合もわかりやすくアウトリガーリーフの1階で、歩いて10分くらいの浜辺から乗船。まったく英語がわかりませんが、翻訳アプリで大丈夫でした！クルーのお兄さんも、飲み物はいかが？や、写真撮ろうか？と気を使ってくれました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド横に虹もみえました！
ほんとに素敵な思い出になりました！

Despite having no horseback riding experience in Japan, I made a reservation and quickly got used to the very calm and smart horses after about 10 minutes.

The beach has a nice breeze and is cool, but elsewhere, there is direct sunlight and little wind, so it's essential to stay hydrated. I recommend wearing long pants or leggings, and a sleeveless top is fine and just right for the weather.

I also enjoyed the atmosphere in Haleiwa. I think two hours is sufficient for exploring Haleiwa.

国内での乗馬経験が無いにも関わらず予約してしまいましたが、とっても大人しく賢いお馬さんたちで10分ほどすればすぐ慣れました。
浜辺は風が通って涼しいですがそこ以外は日光もあたり風も通らないので必ず水分が必要、洋服は長ズボン又はレギンス、トップスはノースリーブでも危なくないのでちょうど良いと思います。
ハレイワも雰囲気があり楽しめました。ハレイワ散策は2時間ほどあれば十分だと思います。

The reservation process and sightseeing went smoothly, and I had a lot of fun experiencing the cruise. Next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to use this service again.

予約から観光までスムーズに進み、クルーズも体験もできてとても楽しかったです。
次、ハワイに行く際も、是非、利用したいと思います。

I requested airport transportation from the Hilton Grand Islander in Waikiki. They arrived early, handled my suitcase with care, and dropped me off right in front of the JAL check-in counter, which was a great help. The driver was very friendly and also assisted another family with their baby stroller and luggage, making for a very positive experience.

ワイキキのヒルトングランドアイランダーから、空港送迎で、迎えをお願いしました。早めに着いてくれて、スーツケースも丁寧に運んでいただき、JALのチェックインカウンターの目の前で、降ろしていただき大変助かりました。
もう一組のご家族連れの方たちのベビーかーや、荷物も優しく降車のお手伝いをしていて、とても、好感度の高い運転手さんでした。

I participated in a morning tour with transportation included. For a full two hours, I was able to ride around the magnificent Kualoa Ranch in a buggy! The views of the ocean and mountains were truly beautiful. It's a pity that the explanations were all in English, so I couldn't understand them very well...

送迎付きの午前ツアーに参加。みっちり2時間、壮大なクアロアランチをバギーで駆け回ることが出来ました！海と山の景色が本当に綺麗。説明はずっと英語なので、説明はあまり理解できなかったのが残念です…。

We were the only couple on the tour so it was great to get the personal attention! Even though our driver was new to the tour he was helpful and attentive!

Have done this before, always plan this adventure when going to Kauai . Always take a family member or friend. So fun and Guides are always very friendly and funny. Upon returning I will plan it again.

We had the best tour down into the Waipio Valley!
Our driver was Forrest and he was funny, informative and was passionate about Hawaii and the region.
I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Not too strenuous a walk to the fern grotto and entertainment was very good! Worth the trip!

Beautiful place. Very educational and interesting experience I very much enjoyed it. Price to get in was a little high but for me the whale experience made up for it

I used the service from the airport to the hotel. The driver was considerate and polite, making my experience comfortable. I will use it again.

空港からホテルまで利用しました。
ドライバーの方は気配りができ、丁寧な方で快適に過ごせました。
また利用させて頂きます。

It seems to be run by a couple. The husband speaks fluent Japanese, and the wife is Japanese, which made it easy for me to try snorkeling for the first time without any worries. I'm not very good at swimming, but with the wife's assistance, I was able to enjoy snorkeling. The ocean was beautiful, and it was amazing to see the colorful fish up close, as if they were drawn with crayons. The sea had plenty of corals and rocks, and I was glad to borrow a wetsuit; it felt safe.

If I go to Hawaii again, I would like to go snorkeling once more, if my age allows. Because I am 60 years old. I highly recommend it!

ご夫妻二人で経営されているようです。
ご主人は日本語ペラペラ、奥様は日本人で、初めてのシュノーケルでも安心して挑戦できました。
私は泳ぎがあまり得意ではないのですが、奥様に付き添って頂き、楽しくシュノーケリングできました。
海は美しく、クレヨンで塗ったようなお魚は近くで見れて素晴らしかったです。
海はサンゴや岩など沢山あり、ウェットスーツをお借りして良かった、安全だと思いました。

ハワイに行ったら、またシュノーケリングはしたいと思います。
年齢がゆるされるなら。
なぜなら、私は60歳だからです。
おすすめです！

I had a great time. Kualoa Ranch has many attractions, and I was worried that the time before and after the experience would be long and boring, but I was able to enjoy the wait for the bus.
Driving the buggies through the great outdoors was a lot of fun. I think even women can drive them, so if you have a license, definitely give it a try.

とても楽しかったです。クアロアランチは見所が沢山で体験の前後の時間が長く取られており退屈するか心配でしたが、バスまでの待ち時間も楽しく待つことができました。
バギーは大自然の中を駆け回るのでとても楽しかったです。女性でも運転できると思うので免許を持っている人は是非運転してみてください。

I thought it might be a little late. Still, when the shuttle didn't show up at the pickup location on time, I felt anxious. I'm someone who likes to act early, so I got frustrated and flustered when the shuttle finally arrived about 10 minutes late. However, we arrived at the airport on time without any issues... I don't think I'll use the shuttle for my next trip to the airport. I want to head to the airport in a calm state of mind.

少々遅れるだろうとは思っていました
それでも時間になってピックアップ場所にシャトルが現れないとドキドキします
早め早めの行動をする私はイライラするし焦ってくるし10分程遅れてシャトルはやってきました
それでも空港には遅れることなく時間通りに到着し問題はなかったのですが…
次回空港へ送っていただくシャトルは利用しないと思います
私は心穏やかに空港へ向かいたいので

At the entrance, there were commemorative coins to choose from, which was fun! I didn't bring a towel since it would be extra luggage and I planned to buy one as a souvenir, but I was able to purchase it at the shop as planned, and I still love using the bath towel.

入り口に記念コインがあり数種類選べて楽しかったです♪
タオルが荷物になるのと記念に購入しようと持ち込みませんでしたが、予定通り売店で買えて、バスタオルは今も気に入って使っています。

I was very satisfied with the tour because I was able to swim with dolphins in the beautiful sea. However, I think it's better not to have overly high expectations for the Japanese guide, as they provide only minimal interpretation and assistance.

綺麗な海でイルカと泳ぐ事ができたので、ツアー自体は大満足です。但し、日本語ガイドさんは、最低限の通訳、お世話しかしないので、過度な期待はしない方が良いと思います。

I thought the male server was wonderful with his passionate service towards the store and his work. A few hours before my visit, I had eaten shaved ice, so I was quite full. I checked with a Japanese staff member if I could take my food home, and they wrapped it beautifully. The next day, I warmed it up at the hotel and enjoyed it deliciously.

テーブル担当の男性がお店や仕事への愛が溢れる接客で素晴らしいと思いました。来店数時間前にシェイブアイスを食べた為、お腹がいっぱいになってしまい持ち帰りできるか日本人スタッフの方に確認したところ綺麗に包んでいただき翌日ホテルで温めて美味しくいただきました。

I have to say this is a must , had such much fun. The views weee incredible. I’ll definitely bring going back to kualoa ranch

After visiting the Dole Pineapple Plantation, I went horseback riding on the North Shore. We took a leisurely stroll along the coast on horseback. The horses were calm, making it enjoyable even for beginners.

ドールパイナップル園を訪ねた後に、ノースショアでの乗馬。海沿いを馬に乗りゆっくりと散歩。馬は大人しく初心者でも楽しめました。

There were five groups including us.
There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but they explained things using gestures and simple words, so it wasn't a problem.

The hardest part was seasickness...
I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are worried!!
Once we took off, the scenery was amazing and it felt like a reset.
It was so much fun! I was very satisfied!!
I gave a tip of $40.

私たち含め5組でした️
日本語を話せるスタッフさんはいなかったのですが、ジェスチャーや簡単な単語で説明してくれたので問題なかったです

1番きつかったのは船酔いです、、
心配な方は絶対に酔い止め飲むことおすすめします！！
飛んだらめちゃめちゃ景色もよくリセットされました️
とってもたのしかったです！大満足！！
チップは40ドルお渡ししました

I made a reservation for a date without checking the tide levels, but it turned out to be just when the tide was coming in, and the water level at the sandbar was around my waist. Last time it was about ankle-deep, so I felt a bit disappointed and reduced my rating by one star.

You can check the tide levels at <https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart>. However, compared to the last time when the weather was mixed with rain, this time there were more sunny intervals, so I felt like I got a bit of a revenge on that front.

The tour I participated in last time had a lot of marine activities, but this time I was mainly looking forward to the BBQ hamburgers. The patties grilled on the BBQ set on the boat were delicious. As for activities, I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling. I was able to choose not to wear a life jacket for snorkeling, which allowed me to enjoy skin diving (the last tour required a life jacket). I also encountered a lot of sea turtles.

A local staff member asked if my wife was a local, but at first, I didn’t understand what was being said, which was a bit amusing.

潮位を確認せずに行ける日程で予約しましたが、結果はちょうど潮が満ちてくる時間帯で、サンドバーでの水位は腰のあたりでした。前回は踝くらいだったので、残念な感じで星一つ減。
潮位は、<https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart> とかで調べられます。
しかし、前回の天気は雨混じりだったのに比べると今回は晴れ間が多かったので、そこはリベンジできたかな。
前回参加したツアーはマリンアクティビティが豊富でしたが、今回のツアーはBBQハンバーガー目当て。船上のBBQセットで焼かれたパテが美味いこと。
アクティビティとしては、ビーチバレーとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングはライフジャケットを付けないのも選択できたので、私としてはスキンダイビングも出来て楽しめました(前回のツアーはライフジャケット必須だった)。ホヌにも沢山遭遇することが出来ましたし。
ロコのスタッフから、私の妻はロコなのかと訊かれたのですが、最初何を言われているのか解らなかったのは御愛嬌。

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The guide was Japanese, and the entire trip was conducted in Japanese.

The activities included visiting the sandbar, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling, and we were very satisfied with the lunch, which was a charcoal-grilled hamburger.

By the way, alcohol is available for purchase, but soft drinks are free.

I was worried about whether my kids could snorkel since they are small, but they provided equipment for children, and there were no issues at all. The kids had an absolute blast.

One area for improvement would be to create a changing room. I wondered about the lack of a place to change on the way back. A few poorly mannered Japanese individuals were changing in the long line for the restroom stalls.

We had to ride the bus in wet swimsuits, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold. Since there’s no place to change, I think it’s a good idea to bring extra bath towels to cover up on the way back.

Other than that, it was fantastic.

8歳と6歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
ガイドさんは日本人で、道中はオール日本語です。

サンドバー、ホヌ見学、シュノーケリングに加え、お昼ご飯は炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーで大満足のアクティビティでした。

ちなみにアルコールは有料ですが、ソフトドリンクは無料で頂けます。

子供達が小さいのでシュノーケリングが出来るか心配でしたが、子供用の装備も用意されており、全く問題ありませんでした。
子供達はめちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。

一点改善して欲しいところは、更衣室を作って欲しいです。
帰りに着替えれないところはどうなのと思いました。
マナーの悪い日本人が数名、長蛇列のトイレ個室で着替えてました。

濡れた水着でバスに乗るのですが、エアコンが効き過ぎてて寒くなりました。
着替えれないので、帰りに体を覆えるようにバスタオルは多めに持参が良いと思います。

それ以外は最高でした。

It was a fish similar to a flatfish, so I wished we could have changed spots more often with the fish finder. I really think Japanese fishing boats are the best. It's perfect for sightseeing.

カワハギ的な魚だから魚探で見れてもっとポイント変えてほしかったです。やっぱ日本の釣り船が最強と思いました。観光には最高です。

Outstanding a great reminder why peace is the ultimate goal in life

It is not clearly stated in the notes, but at least one person in the participating group must drive. The buggy accommodates six people, but you cannot ride in a buggy driven by someone from another group. Additionally, although it is not mentioned in the instructions, you will get quite dirty as you drive for two hours through a bumpy jungle path with heavy dust. However, if you are accustomed to driving in Japan, driving the buggy is not too difficult, and there are filming spots related to Jurassic Park along the way, which made it a lot of fun!

注意事項に明記されておらず分かりづらいですが、参加するグループのうち誰か1人は必ず運転しなければなりません。バギーは6人乗りですが、他のグループの人が運転するバギーに相乗りするような案内はしてもらえません。それと、案内に記載はないですが、砂埃が激しく舞う中起伏の激しいジャングルの道を2時間駆け回るため、全身がかなり汚れます。とはいえ、日本での車の運転に慣れていればバギーの運転はそこまで難しくなく、途中にはジュラシック・パーク関連の撮影スポットもあり、大変楽しめました！
