Hawaii
In the morning, we had a cruise, followed by a location tour in the afternoon. The cruise involved transferring from a bus to a boat, and then to the cruise ship. On the cruise ship, there was an entertaining aspect where we got splashed with waves before reaching the turnaround point, and if you’re at the bow on the first floor, you will get soaked. Even on the second floor bow, you will get quite wet, so I think it’s fine to enjoy it there knowing that.
The lunch buffet was typically American and quite hearty, but we could also enjoy juice, fruits, lemon cake, and chocolate chip cookies. The movie location tour provided information in English about where filming took place, but it was in a field… and I dozed off a bit due to the bumps in the car. At the end, we had 10 minutes to take photos at a location with many fossil-like features.
The return bus started check-in after 3 PM, and we departed early, which was good since there wasn’t much to do. Overall, it was a fun day, and the guide was cheerful, making it a great experience.
午前中にクルーズ、午後からロケ地ツアーでした。
クルーズは初めにバス移動→舟→クルーズ船と乗り換えしていきます。
クルーズ船では折返し地点前から激しく波のしぶきを浴びるエンターテイメント性があり、一階の船首にいるとびしょ濡れになります。二階の船首でもかなりビショビショになりますので、それを承知で船首で楽しむもよしだと思います。
ランチブッフェはアメリカらしい大味ですが、ジュース、果物やレモンケーキ、チョコチップクッキーなども食べれます。
映画ロケ地ツアーは英語でここで撮影された〜等の案内がありますが、そこは原っぱで…車の揺れでウトウトしてしまいました。最後は化石風のものがたくさんの撮影場所で10分間各々撮影。
帰りのバスは15時すぎにはチェックインが始まりら早めに出発しました。することがなかったので、これはよかったです。
いずれも楽しく、案内役の方も陽気でよい一日となりました。
We saw fish, turtle, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and had a great time! Guide and captain were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for a quick and short excursion!!! We stayed at Hilton Waikoloa and we were 5 min drive.
Aloha,

We know there are a lot of ways to spend the morning when you're on the Big Island and we're honored you chose to spend part of one of yours with us and that we've earned your recommendation.

Absolutely loved and enjoyed this experience. It was my husband’s first time, and he had the time of his life. This experience would have been nothing without the zip lining associates that were so professional, yet encouraging and light hearted at the same time! Special shoutout to Reagan & Shiloh, what an awesome crew! I forgot the guys name but he was great too, made some funny jokes on our atv ride out to the zip lines. Speaking of zip lines, such a fun experience and a great workout might I add. If you have a fear of heights that you want to get over, then this zip lining crew is the one you want!!
PS, if you’re driving from Wakiki to this place, be prepared to be blown away with some breathtaking views of the island!
Cons: Location wasn’t too clear, better signage in the future would be great.
Buoyant donut was too small for the amount or people, so lots of bumping and kicking, including from the trainer. A bigger float donut would be perfect.
Water was murky, but not much can be done about that. Maybe a heads up from the diver if they have an indication of the water condition before hand would help.
Pros: Diver was great in making sure that we got to see a few fish. He also dove down to grab some of the water life and we got a chance to hold them in our hands.
We brought our own snorkel and mouth piece, and diver was very helpful in making sure it was secure to their masks.
Diver was very knowledgeable and got us checked out with our photos and videos in hand very quickly.
Definitely recommend this for super beginners!
My children had a blast that day! It was their first time on an ATV! The staff was extremely friendly, patient, & kind. We will be back again when we visit the Norrh Shore. What a great experience for all ages!
Last year, I signed up for the same tour, but I couldn't find the pickup bus. I was really disappointed, but the team at Veltra handled the follow-up quickly and politely. This year, I decided to give it another try and chose Veltra without hesitation, feeling reassured by their response to last year's mishap. The pickup location had changed from last year, but I was able to meet up with the driver without any issues. Since it was a weekday, the place was relatively quiet, and I was able to enjoy riding the popular slides continuously, having a fantastic day!
昨年、同じこのツアーを申し込みしたのですが、迎えのバスに遭遇できませんでした。ガッカリ落ち込んでいたのですが、ベルトラさんの方で迅速、丁寧に事後処理の対応をして下さいました。今年こそリベンジしようと再申し込みし、昨年の万が一の対応に安心できるベルトラさんを迷わず選びました。ピックアップ場所も昨年から変更されており、無事、迎えの運転手さんと合流。平日という事もあり、比較的空いていて、人気スライダーにも続けて乗るなど、1日中、思いっきり楽しむ事ができました!
Great opportunity to see turtles and fish. Food was good. Staff was super friendly and there was ample parking at the marina. Overall we like it.
We participated as a family.
We rode our bikes to Lanikai Beach and were able to see many fish while snorkeling!
After that, we rode our bikes to Kailua Town and had a fun and fulfilling time!
Thank you, Natsue and Emi, for all your help!
The ocean was very beautiful, and we had a wonderful time!
家族で参加させていただきました。
自転車でラニカイビーチまで行き、シュノーケリングで沢山の魚を見ることができました!
その後自転車でカイルアタウンまで行き、楽しく充実した時間を過ごすことができました!
なつえさん、えみさん、いろいろとお世話になりありがとうございました!
海がとてもきれいで、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました!
Dear Kan-chan,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in Kailua. Please do come back and visit us again when you are in Hawaii. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you.

ご来店及びレビューのご記入ありがとうございました。
カイルアを満喫して頂けたようで嬉しく思います。
またハワイにお越しの際は是非遊びにいらしてください。

The reception staff at the office had no issues communicating in Japanese and were very polite. While waiting on the boat, seasickness, direct sunlight, and the long waiting time can be quite challenging. Make sure to take thorough sun protection measures. The staff on the boat spoke broken Japanese (mostly English, but it was manageable).
Parasailing can make you feel a bit nauseous, but it was quite thrilling. Riding the jet ski was super fun. For the bumper tube, it might be a good idea to put a Band-Aid on your forearms.
If you want to purchase all the photos and videos taken during the attractions, it will cost $110. I bought them, and they will send the data via email.
事務所の受付対応は日本語で問題ありませんでした。丁寧な対応でした。船上待機ですが、船酔いと直射日光と放置時間もなかなか長いです。日焼け対策を万全に。船上スタッフは片言日本語(ほぼ英語ですが何とかなります)
パラセーリングはちょっと酔うようですがなかなか怖かったです。水上バイクは超楽しかった。バンパーチューブは肘下にバンドエイドを貼っとくといいかもしれません。
アトラクション中の写真、動画を全て購入するなら110$かかります。購入しました。データをメールでくれます。
We did an afternoon tour of the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and loved it. The water was chest deep in some spots and above our heads in other spots. I believe it was high tide. The sandbar is gorgeous and was a must see for us. What made this great was the helpful and friendly demeanor of the staff along with the live music. They had a lifeguard in the snorkeling area which made us feel safe. There was plenty of gear to borrow and things to do: snorkeling, volleyball, kayak, SUPs, footballs to throw around, and swimming. We are so glad we did this tour and would do it again.
Mahalo for your review. We look forward to seeing you again! - Team KBOS
The delay was inconvenient, but I appreciated your patience. It's very reassuring to know that I've already paid and there are no worries about being overcharged.
便が遅延しましたが待っていてくださり、助かりました。
支払い済みでぼったくりの心配がないのはとても安心です。
Was super fun for 7 year old and 2 adults. Would recommend. Have a great time.
First of all, it was really too much fun... The first one started with a bit of nervous excitement. But once it began, the amazing views, thrills, and enjoyment made it feel like no time had passed. I'm grateful to the girls who joined me and made it even more fun. Just remembering that feeling brings back the joy! The hike to the next zip line was quite tough, but it was so much fun that it made it all worthwhile! I want to participate again. Thank you!
まずはほんとに楽し過ぎて‥
一本目はちょっと緊張してドキドキからのスタートでした。でも始まってしまったら最高の景色とスリルと楽しさであっと言うまでした。
一緒に回ってくれた女の子達も楽しく盛り上げてくださり感謝です。
あの感覚を思い出すだけで楽しさがよみがえります!
次のジップラインまでのハイキングは結構キツかったけど、それが吹っ飛ぶほど楽し過ぎました!
また参加したいです。
ありがとうございました!
We participated at the request of our 8-year-old child. When we actually got on the boat, they seemed a bit anxious, but once we were on together, they were squealing with joy. After getting off, they happily told the crew "ONE MORE." The whole family had a great time. Thank you!
8歳の子供の希望で参加しました
実際船に乗ると不安そうでしたがいざ父親の私と2人で乗るとキャーキャー騒いで楽しんで降りてからクルーにONE MOREと言って喜んでました。家族皆が楽しめました。ありがとうございます。
This was my first time participating in a tour at Kualoa Ranch. Since I had rented a car, I opted for a plan without transportation. With the no-transportation plan, there were no coordinators, so the process was simply checking in upon arrival, and it didn't matter whether I made the reservation here or directly on-site.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but there were two disappointing points. I had checked the best seats in advance, so I arrived early at the meeting place to secure a good seat. However, due to a Chinese family that arrived last, my seat was changed to the very back, which was the bumpiest spot.
Additionally, that Chinese family occupied the seats in front of us and, for some reason, kept eating rice balls and Spam in the shaking vehicle, creating a cloud of dust. I wanted to enjoy the natural scents, but instead, it smelled like Spam.
クアロアランチのツアーは初参加。レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしのプランでした。送迎なしプランはコーディネーターさんなどいないので到着してチェックインしてといった流れでこちらで予約しても現地で直接予約しても変わりません。
ツアー自体は満喫しましたが残念だった点が2点ほど、
事前にベストの座席をチェックしていたので早めに集合場所に行き座席を確保したのですが、最後に来た中国人家族団体のせいで座席を変更されてしまいまさかの1番揺れる1番後ろの席になりました。
さらにその中国人家族団体は私たちの前の席を陣取っており何故か砂煙が舞う揺れる車中でずっとおにぎりやスパムを食べていました。せっかく自然の香りを堪能したかったのにスパム臭い。
The shuttle did not arrive at the meeting point even after five minutes, so I called to inquire. I was informed that there was a parade that day, causing a major traffic jam, and that it would be delayed by ten minutes. In the end, the shuttle arrived about 30 minutes late, but while waiting, various people were talking about the heavy traffic, so I didn't feel particularly anxious. They picked me up with plenty of time to spare for my flight, so I felt reassured about that. It might have been difficult due to the parade, but it would have been better if they could have come right in front of the hotel where I was staying. It was tough to move around with large luggage and a child.
集合場所に5分経ってもシャトルが来なかったので電話で問い合わせてみたら、その日はパレードがあり大渋滞をしていて10分遅れるとのことでした。
結局、シャトルは30分くらい遅れて来ましたが、待っている間にも、道が大渋滞しているといろんな人達が話していたので特に不安になることもなく待てました。
フライトにもじゅうぶん間に合う時間でピックアップして頂けるので、その点に関しては安心です。
パレードの日で難しかったのかもしれませんが、できれば宿泊しているホテル前まで来て頂けたら良かったです。大きな荷物を持って子供を連れて歩いて移動するのは大変でした。
I visited two places. The first beach didn't have many fish and the water was cold, so it might be fine to just go to one place. The second spot, Kealakekua Bay, had both coral and fish, which was great. The food was good too. The water temperature was higher here, so I think it would have been difficult if it were the other way around.
2か所行きました。最初の海はあまり魚がいなくて、水が冷たかったので、1か所だけでもいいかもしれません。2か所目ケアラケクア湾は珊瑚も魚もいて良かったです。料理も良かったです。水の温度もこっちの方が高かったので、逆だったら無理だと思います
It says in English, but it's okay if you speak broken Japanese.
They will teach you how to use the equipment step by step.
Taking commemorative photos is optional, but it's worth the cost.
They take over 100 shots and give you an SD card with the photos.
Also, say "Japan okay!" and they'll drop you into the sea.
It's refreshing!
I want to challenge myself again next year.
英語と書いてありますが、カタコト日本語大丈夫です。
装備も手取り足取り教えてくれます。
記念の写真はオプションですが、払う価値あります。
100枚以上のショットを撮影、SDカードで渡してくれます。
あとジャッポーンオッケーと言いましょう!
そうすると海へと落としてくれます。
爽快ですよ!
来年もチャレンジしたいと思います。
Expérience géniale !
Dans un décor sublime un moment inoubliable
Je vous conseille le VTT Raptor pour faire le plein de sensations.
Vous pouvez venir avec vos enfants en toute sécurité !
My family went on this adventure because friends suggested it. We were not disappointed. The staff was so nice and attentive. We were able to enjoy snorkeling, kayak and SUP. I had never snorkeled before and I was amazing by how beautiful all the sea life was. We loved listening to the music, eat donuts and even had a chance to see a sea turtle swim by. Would definitely recommend!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Awesome experience highly recommend they were on time. Prompt efficient, friendly so much fun great music great staff again. Don’t miss it if you’re in Hawaii!!!
This was an amazing activity for our entire family, from a 3yr old to the grandma. The staff was friendly and encouraging and the band was great too!
My three-year-old rode the bumper raft, and the staff took their time driving slowly and carefully so that he can enjoy the activity.
My older kids did the bumper raft, snorkeled and did sup. Plenty to do in the allowed hours.
We highly recommend!

In the first 20 minutes, there was a training session for all participants, and they provided one-on-one instruction. After that, they carefully guided us around Magic Island and its surroundings, with staff positioned at the front and back of the line, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. Additionally, they took photos and videos at each spot, which was great, and I wanted to recommend it to my acquaintances.
While I have no complaints about the experience itself, when we returned to the starting point and were about to leave, they asked for a tip. Of course, I was aware of this in advance and had prepared for it, but I found it questionable that we couldn't leave until we paid. Moreover, we were seated next to another group, which forced us to tip the same amount, leaving me with a disappointing feeling as I left that place.
最初の20分ぐらいで、参加者全員に講習があり、付きっきりで教えてくれた。その後、マジックアイランドやその周辺を、列の前後をスタッフで挟みながら丁寧に付いて回ってくれて、何一つ不安なく楽しめた。また、スポット毎に、写真やビデオ撮影をしてくれて、とても良く、知人にも紹介したいと思った。
これ自体は文句のつけようがないが、出発地点に戻ってきて、さあ、帰ろうとしたら、チップをくれ、と言う。もちろん、それは事前に知っていたし、準備もしていたが、支払うまで出れないようにするのはいかがなものか。しかも、他のグループと隣同士に座らされたので、同額にせざるを得ず、残念な気持ちで、その場所を後にした。
アロハ、そして8月にツアーに参加していただきありがとうございます。私たちは、あなたが私たちの3つのビーチパークの海岸沿いを滑るセグウェイ・マジックアイランドビーチグライドを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。
ツアーの最後に、スタッフへのチップについての情報が提示されたことで不快に感じられた場合、お詫び申し上げます。チップは常にゲストの裁量に委ねられており、期待される金額はありません。もしスタッフの誰かがあなたを不快にさせたのであれば、お詫び申し上げます。私たちは、ゲストのためにチップの金額の提案を含む便利なチャートを提供しています。あなたがそのように感じていることを残念に思います。
アメリカでは、サービス業に従事する多くの人々が時給で働いており、チップが彼らの給与の大部分を占めています。日本や他の国では、チップが期待されることも要求されることもないことを私たちは知っています。
再度、ツアーに参加していただきありがとうございました。私たちはすべてのゲストを非常に大切に思っています。

This time, I had a two-hour horseback riding experience with my grandchildren. We leisurely toured a location that was also used for a movie shoot, making it a wonderful memory for my 70th birthday. Thank you very much! ^ ^
今回は孫たちと2時間の乗馬体験
2時間たっぷり 映画ロケ地にもなった場所をゆっくり巡り最高の古希の思い出になりました 有難うございました^ ^
It was drizzling at first, but later it cleared up and the scenery was amazing. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't really understand what was being said, but the horses were smart, so I managed to get by by watching them. Thank you very much.
最初霧雨だったけど、後から晴れて景色も最高でした。英語ガイドなので、ほぼ何を言っているのかわからないけど、馬が賢いので見よう見まねで何とかなりました。ありがとうございました。
I used the Rock-a-Flush Show Luau for the first time!
It was our honeymoon in Hawaii, filled with first-time experiences! I was a bit anxious about fully enjoying Hawaii, so I booked this show to feel that Hawaiian vibe. To sum it up, I truly believe it was a great decision to make the reservation.
First, we received a beautiful lei made of fresh flowers! It was a bit exciting to receive that coveted lei from a hula girl, just like I had seen on TV! After that, we were kindly shown to our seats, and while enjoying a Mai Tai welcome drink and welcome pineapple, we were entertained by live ukulele performances for each guest, creating a welcoming atmosphere during the wait!
Then the luau began! We enjoyed beautiful hula dances by the hula girls and took part in an authentic hula lesson, making my heart feel Hawaiian. After the hula dance show, we indulged in a delightful buffet. The local dishes, fresh fruits, and grilled foods were all amazing, and by this point, both my eyes and stomach were completely satisfied!
But this is just the beginning! We moved to the show venue, where the hula dance evolved with the times, and the dynamic dances and songs kept raising our excitement! The final fire show was mesmerizing, and I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second! I never expected to be so moved, and both my husband and I truly felt that making the reservation was the right choice.
ロック・ア・フラショー ルアウを初めて利用しました!
初めてのハワイで初めて尽くしのハネムーン!ハワイを満喫できるか不安もあり、ハワイっぽさを感じたくこのショーを予約!
結論から言って、予約して本当に良かったと心から思います。
先ずは生花で作られたレイのプレゼント!テレビで見てたあの憧れのレイをフラガールから貰えるなんて、ちょっと嬉しい!
その後丁寧に席に案内され、マイタイのウェルカムドリンクとウェルカムパイナップルを楽しみワクワクしながら待っていると、ウクレレ演奏をゲスト毎に生演奏で披露してくれ、待ち時間も楽しませてくれるウェルカム感!
そこからルアウのスタート!美しいフラガールによるフラダンスを楽しみ、本格的なフラレッスンを受けて、私の心もハワイアン。
フラダンスショーが終わってからはお楽しみのブュッフェ。地元料理や新鮮なフルーツ、グリル料理はどれも最高で、ここまでで既に目も胃袋も満足感間違いなし!
でもここからが本番です!ショーの会場へ移動し、時代と共に進化を遂げいくフラダンス、躍動感溢れるダンスに歌でどんどんテンションが上がっていきます!ラストのファイヤーショーは一瞬たりとも目が離せませんでした!こんなに感動するとは思っておらず、夫婦揃って本当に予約して良かったと心から思いました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rock-A-Hula VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show during your first trip to Hawaii, especially as part of your honeymoon. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Hawaiian show, fire knife performances, and the luau buffet. It's great that you were able to take a hula lesson as well. We also appreciate your positive review. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーに初めてのハワイ旅行それも、新婚旅行でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事も含めてハワイアンショーやファイヤーナイフなど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。フラレッスンも受けれて良かったですね。そして、ポジティブな口コミも有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、次回もスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
As soon as I picked up my luggage, I found the yellow Roberts Hawaii kiosk counter, which was the meeting point. It stood out with its bright yellow color, so I recognized it immediately. When I spoke to the staff at the counter, they walked with me to the boarding area and guided me. I would like to use this service again.
手荷物を受け取ってすぐにある黄色いロバーツハワイのKIOSKカウンターが集合場所で、写真の通り黄色が目立っていたのですぐに分かりました。
カウンターのスタッフに声をかけると、乗り場まで一緒に歩いて案内してくれました。
また利用したいと思います。
This activity was great for beginners. The instructor was amazing and made sure everyone had a good time.
The only drawback that day was water was very murky and made it difficult to see as many see fish and other sea creatures.
I would highly recommend this activity and instrutor.
Really got to see the island like never before. Was really great.
기대를 해서 갔는데 완전 대 실망
다 떨어져 나갈 것 같은 버스에 창문이 없어서 먼지가 풀풀 날리고,
영화 촬영지라 해서 영화의 한 장면 흔적이라도 있을꺼라 생각 하고
기대 하고 갔는데, 영화 촬영한 간판 조그만한거 하나 붙여 놓고 여기서
촬영 했다는 설명.. ㅡㅡ^
누가 간다고 한다면 절대 추천 하지 않겠슴
돈 낭비, 시간 낭비 만 한 것 같음.
