Hawaii
This activity involves flying a sail with a wire while running on a boat, similar to kite flying. You go quite high, but because the sail is large, the descent is slow, and you don't feel that floating sensation in your stomach. The view from above was beautiful and calm, with no swaying left or right except for the wind, but looking down brought a considerable sense of fear due to the height.
The check-in was quick, just a signature, but the waiting time before starting was about 30 minutes. We went quite far offshore, and with two people in each of the five groups, we each flew for about 10 minutes in turn. The boat keeps moving during the trip back and forth and while the other groups are flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick.
On the way back, as the wire is reeled in, each group gets partially dipped in the sea, but we ended up completely soaked, so wearing clothes that can get wet is advisable. Three of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, and two groups, including ours, were travelers from Japan.
凧揚げをするように船で走りながらワイヤー付きのセイルを飛ばすアクティビティです。
かなり高いところまで行きますがセイルが大きいため、降下時もゆっくりでお腹がふわっとなる感覚はありません。
上空も左右に振られず風以外は穏やかで美しい景色を見れましたが、足元を見ると高さで中々の恐怖感がありました。
受付はサインだけなのですぐに終わりましたが、始まるまでの待ち時間は30分くらい。
船でかなり沖合まで出て、2人×5組いたのでそれぞれ順番に10分程飛びました。
行き帰りと他の組が飛んでいる間、船は走り続けますので少しでも乗り物で酔う人は酔い止めを飲んでおくことをおすすめします。
ワイヤーを巻き取って戻ってくる途中、どの組も海に半分だけ漬けられるのですが、我々だけ全身浸かってしまいずぶ濡れになりましたので、濡れてもいい服装がおすすめです。
参加者は3組がアメリカ本土からの旅行者で、我々を含む2組は日本からの旅行者でした。
Since the local weather can vary, I arrived on-site and checked the weather forecast, making my reservation two days in advance. The arrangements on the day went smoothly, and the people I participated with said, "I want to ride this again when I come back to Hawaii!" I was really happy to hear that since it was an activity I suggested.
You can see the familiar shape of Diamond Head and even get to view the backside, which offers a fresh perspective of its shape. The cheerful staff and the excitement of the other guests made it a fun, American-style experience. I will definitely come back to ride again!
現地の天気もあるので、現地入りして、天気予報を確認して2日前に予約しました。
当日の段取りもスムーズで一緒に参加した方からも、またハワイにきたら乗りたいな!といってもらえました。自分が提案したアクティビティだったので、喜んでもらえて嬉しかったです。
よく見るダイヤモンドヘッドの形から、ぐるっと裏側まで回ってもらえるので、違ったダイヤモンドヘッドの形まで見えますので新鮮です。
陽気なスタッフさんと、同乗したお客さんのテンションもアメリカらしく楽しかったです。
また乗りに戻ってきます!!
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またすぐにお越しいただけることを楽しみにしています!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
The location, the food, and entertainment was amazing. Truly worth your time and money for this experience. Would go again. My family enjoyed this. The breeze off the water felt heavenly. Go you will not regret it.
Great place, the whole staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, thr property was very well maintained . Busses were clean and the drivers were very good.all in all Great place to go to and reasonably cheap for all they offer.
The park was a bit confusing, but the show in the end of the night was awesome!
Your in the bus for a long rides but the sights are all beautiful!
Early morning tour but you get back with the day still to explore more, great way to see PH!
A wonderful, muddy, full of laughs family memory on Oahu!
A really lovely balance of getting to see the Na Pali and enjoying dinner while getting the gorgeous views!
We loved the whole experience through the canyon, and the Wailua river from above and then on the river
Hit some really gorgeous sites in Kauai- we loved the North Shore!
A really well planned day, we really wanted to stargaze so was super happy we got the day tour + the evening
What a great way to end off our Oahu trip! Mahalo to Mauka Luau!!
For my husband and I who were not sure if we were comfortable in deeper water, this snorkel was perfect and shallow with plenty of fish!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Fun evening, lots of different things to do and the show was top notch!
A wonderful luau!!! The best luau of the islands I have been to.
Getting to see the Missouri was our favorite part of this tour. Unreal!
A wonderful event that my husband and kiddos all loved- a memory made together!
We loved the extra inclusions on this tour! Fabulous and easy day around PH
There is no better place in the world! I could gt lost on the winding roads of hana.
Aloha Kara, big mahalo for your feedback. It was a pleasure to assist you. We hope to serve you again soon. A hui hou :-)
Perfect experience, exactly what I pictures + more!
The tour was wonderful and the Hana Farms stop was amazing- such beauty on Hana!
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。
