Hawaii
This was my first time participating in a Segway tour in Waikiki. We started by admiring the wall art in Kaka'ako and then rode through the yacht harbor, beach park, and the center of Waikiki, all the way to the ridge near Diamond Head, experiencing a variety of landscapes.
One area that was particularly interesting was where traditional Hawaiian homes are preserved, which is not often visited by tourists. The guides and staff were very kind, and I am truly grateful for that.
It was a fun and quick three hours. I will definitely join again the next time I visit Hawaii!
ワイキキでのセグウェイは初めての参加です。
カカアコのウォールアートを眺めながらスタートし、ヨットハーバー、ビーチパーク、ワイキキの中心街を抜け、動物園からダイヤモンドヘッド近くの峠まで、変化に富んだ景色の中を走ります。
中でも観光ではなかなか訪れることの無い、ハワイの伝統的な住居が保存されているエリアはとても興味深かったです。
ガイドやスタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、心より感謝しました。
楽しくてあっと言う間の3時間でした。
次回ハワイに行った際は、また参加させていただきます!
In a word, it was the best experience.
First, before the show, there was a delicious buffet with an abundance of Hawaiian-inspired food and desserts, including pineapple and whole roasted pig.
During the meal, there were hula dances and ukulele performances right in front of us, and the ukulele songs were specially selected to match each participant.
The show that followed was, of course, very satisfying.
They showcased many Hawaiian and Polynesian dances and songs. At one point, Elvis made an appearance, adding an American vibe to the experience.
You won't be disappointed!
一言で言うと最高の経験でした。
まずショーの前には美味しいビュッフェ、パイナップルや豚の丸焼きなど、ハワイ感あふれるご飯、スイーツが食べ放題でした。
飲食中には目の前でフラダンスやウクレレの演奏もあり、ウクレレの曲はわざわざそれぞれの参加者に合わせて選曲してくれました。
その後のショーももちろん大満足。
ハワイアン、ポリネシアンの踊りや曲をたくさん披露してくれました。途中プレスリーなども登場し、アメリカンな雰囲気も味わえました。
満足間違いなしです!
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet and the Elvis and Hawaiian shows, and that you were able to fully experience Hawaiian culture. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラオリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、ハワイの文化を満喫出来て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。
When we arrived at Kualoa Ranch we had difficulty finding the right check-in desk and line to go in. We had bought tickets online, but we had to wait in the same long line as those who still needed to get tickets. This process was not organized very well. However, once we got to our tour bus, for the Jurassic Park Adventure, everything was done well. Our guide, Eli (not sure on the spelling) was informative, knowledgeable and funny. He stopped at a Macadamia Tree and cracked open nuts for us to try (this was towards the end of June). We stopped at various movie sites, and had plenty of time to take pictures and look around. The scenery is beautiful and I highly recommend this tour.
I was worried about being able to ride for two hours, but it went by in no time! The guide was very nice, and although the conversation was only in English, it wasn't inconvenient at all. The horses were also very well-behaved.
Additionally, the guide occasionally took photos and shared them via AirDrop on our way back, which was a nice touch. I highly recommend this experience as it creates wonderful memories!
You can store your belongings in a locker, but I recommend keeping some tips in your pocket.
2時間も乗馬できるか不安でしたがあっという間でした!ガイドさんがとてもいい人で会話は英語のみですが特に不便はありません。お馬さんもとてもお利口です。
また、ガイドさんが時折り写真を撮ってくれ帰り際にエアドロップで共有いただけたのが嬉しかったです。最高の思い出ができるのでおすすめです!
荷物はロッカーへ入れますが、チップはポッケに忍ばせることをお勧めします。
I was picked up from the Aloha Landing bus stop at the Sheraton Hotel and participated in the tour. Since I was staying at the Sheraton, it was very convenient.
In Hawaii, eating and drinking are generally prohibited on the bus. I heard that bringing Starbucks coffee is not allowed, so please be careful.
It took about an hour and a half to reach Kualoa Ranch due to traffic and unexpected aggressive driving, and we arrived around 12:00. Perhaps because we were late, as soon as we arrived, my name was called, and I was directed to the horseback riding tour registration. First, I was asked to sign something like a consent form, and I received instructions on how to ride through a video in Japanese. After that, the horseback riding tour started right away.
Horseback riding was fun. Compared to the bus tours and ATV tours, it seemed like the range of activities was narrower, but if you want to take a closer look at the scenery of Kualoa Ranch, I recommend the horseback riding tour.
After the tour ended, I had a little time before the bus departure, so I bought some souvenirs and returned to the hotel. The $1 shopping bag that was recommended at the register is still one of my favorites.
シェラトンホテルのアロハランディングバス乗り場からピックアップしてもらい、参加しました。
シェラトンに宿泊していたので、とても楽でした。
ハワイでは、基本的にバスの中は飲食禁止です。スタバのコーヒーは持ち込みNGと言われている方がいましたのでご注意ください。
クアロアランチまでは、渋滞とまさかの煽り運転に巻き込まれて、1時間半ほどかかり、到着は12:00ごろになりました。予定より遅れたためか、到着するなり、すぐに名前を呼ばれ、乗馬のツアーの受付に案内されました。
まずは、同意書のようなものにサインを求められ、乗り方などは日本語の動画で説明を受けました。
その後、乗馬ツアーがすぐにスタートしました。
乗馬は楽しかったです。
バスツアーやバギーツアーに比べて、行動範囲は狭いように思いましたが、クアロアランチの風景をじっくりみたい方には乗馬ツアーはおすすめです。
ツアー終了後、バスの出発まで少し時間あったので、お土産を買い、ホテルへ戻りました。
レジでおすすめされた1ドルのショッピングバックは今でもお気に入りです。
I participated in March this year and had a great time, but I was left with a bit of regret because the weather wasn't perfect, so I decided to give it another shot! The staff's hospitality was exceptional, and the weather was fantastic. I enjoyed the beautiful sea just like in the commercials! During snorkeling, turtles appeared in abundance! A cute baby turtle even came close to me, which was so soothing. I joined alone, but I was happy that they took lots of photos for me when I handed them my smartphone! The staff truly overflowed with the desire to make guests enjoy themselves! Next month, I'm going to Hawaii with friends, and I plan to participate again so they can experience this fun too.
今年の3月に参加して楽しかったのですがお天気が今ひとつだったのが心残りで、今回リベンジしました!
スタッフのホスピタリティは言わずもがな、お天気もとても良く、CMのように綺麗な海を満喫♡シュノーケルでは亀がこれでもかというくらい現れて!可愛いベイビータートルも近づいてきてくれてとても癒されました。1人で参加しましたが、スマホを渡すと写真をいっぱい撮ってくれるのが嬉しい!
ゲストに楽しんでもらいたい!って言う気持ちが溢れたスタッフばかりですね!
来月は友達とハワイに行くので、この楽しさを味わってもらいたく再び参加する予定です。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really happy that we were blessed with good weather this time. I'm looking forward to your participation next month. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。リベンジ参加ありがとうございます。
今回は天候にも恵まれたようで本当に嬉しく思います。
来月のご参加今から楽しみにお待ちしております。 A hui hou!
I visited Hanauma Bay with my wife when we were newly married, and this time I went with my son. It seems to have become cleaner due to the visitor limit for nature conservation compared to the past! Although we didn't see any sea turtles, the guide was friendly and we had a great time! Thank you!
結婚したての時に妻と一緒に行ったハナウマベイですが、今回は息子と一緒に行きました。
昔に比べ自然保護の観点から人数制限されてキレイになったように感じました!
ホヌには会えませんでしたがガイドさんも気さくで楽しめました!
ありがとうございました!
The crews were super nice and I had great experiences!! I am sure I will come back to this adventure!
Mahalo for your review & kind words for our crew! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
The experience our family has on this snorkel tour was truly amazing from start to finish. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters.
Our guides were truly amazing. They were friendly and enthusiastic. They knew so much of the history of the Na Pali and integrated interesting little facts and throughout the tour.
They provided everything you need from drinks throughout the tour and lunch.
We would definitely use this tour group again!!!
An amazing experience that really can’t be replicated on land! Being on the water for a sunset makes it so magical, I’ll never get over the vastness of the ocean. Not that it needs to be said, but the sunset was beautiful.
The crew is excellent. They know exactly what they’re doing and are very accommodating and check in on you regularly without making you feel checked in on ‘too much’. The drinks are strong and tasty! The appetizer was more like a meal, and was delicious, especially for a bulk prep-made food item; we had a chicken sandwich (with actual chicken thigh) on a purple potato or ube bun!
There is music playing for the whole ride, so if you’re noise sensitive get there early so you can be one of the first on the boat to pick your spot (don’t sit inside where the bar is - that’s the noisiest spot). With that said, if you’re focusing on the beautiful scenery, the noise sort of fades away into the background, anyway.
We had an amazing time, and will do it again next time we are in Waikiki area.
The luau entertainment was great. The staff were helpful. The food was good, needs a little more variety. Other than that it was a fun night.
We enjoyed our hike at Diamond Head. Gorgeous views! Go early. It gets hot. Driver was nice and provided us water. Would definitely recommend this excursion.
We were the only Japanese people, but they explained things in Japanese in between, and we were able to enjoy the show throughout, which made us very satisfied. It was my first time seeing such amazing magic up close, and it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.
私たちだけが日本人だったのですが、合間に日本語で説明してくださり、終始楽しくショーを見ることができ、とても満足しています。
間近であんなにすごいマジックを見るのは初めてで、ハワイのよい思い出になりました。
This time, I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my parents in their 70s. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when we arrived at the sandbar, it was sunny! We even saw sea turtles! Although we couldn't see the beach, the water was up to the adults' waists, so my daughter could stand and we had a lot of fun snorkeling and kayaking! The lifeguards were very kind (and they spoke Japanese fluently!). My parents, who didn't go into the water, were also taken on a boat ride around the area, and we were delighted by their generous spirit to entertain us. It was the best experience that will remain a lifelong memory!
今回は5歳の娘と70代の両親を含む家族で参加しました。
お天気はちょっと曇りがかってましたが、サンドバーにつくと晴天!ウミガメも見えましたよ~!
砂浜までは見えませんでしたが、海が大人の腰辺りまでになっていて、娘も足がついたのでシュノーケリングやカヌーなど沢山遊べました!ライフセーバーの方たちもすごく優しかったです。(日本語もペラペラ!)海に入らない両親たちもボートに乗せてくれて周辺を一周してくれたり、私達を楽しませようとするサービス精神がたっぷりで嬉しかったです。
一生の思い出に残る最高の体験ができました!
"We are all very happy to receive such words as 'the best experience that will remain a lifetime memory.' Please come back to visit us again. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS."
”一生の思い出に残る最高の体験“なんてお言葉を頂きスタッフ一同大変喜んでおります。また是非皆様で遊びに来て下さいね。この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful time seeing Waikiki from the water and relaxing on their beautiful boat. They also had drinks available, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
I had been curious about the Five Star Dinner Cruise for a while. My husband was hesitant because he gets seasick, but it turned out to be a great decision to go.
From before boarding, we were welcomed with hula and music, which really set the mood. As soon as we boarded, they provided us with motion sickness medication, so my husband said he felt almost no nausea.
The meal included champagne, salad, lobster, steak, and dessert, along with two drinks of our choice. There was also piano music and live singing, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
On Friday, we enjoyed the Hilton fireworks, and there was even a surprise proposal among the guests, making it a very lively cruise. I would love to take this cruise again if I have the chance.
以前から気になっていたファイブスターディナークルーズ、夫が船酔いするので躊躇してましたが、行って正解でした。
乗船前からフラとミュージックで歓迎があり、雰囲気を盛り上げます。
乗船してすぐに酔い止め薬をもらえたので、ほぼ酔わずに良かったと言ってました。
食事はシャンパン、サラダにロブスターにステーキとデザート、他に好きな飲み物2杯チョイスできました。
ピアノ演奏に生歌もありとてもいい雰囲気でした、
金曜日のヒルトン花火もありの、お客様の中でサプライズプロポーズする方がいたりと、とても盛り上がったクルーズでした。
機会があればまた利用したいです。
Thank you very much for joining us on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise with your spouse. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the five-star dining and entertainment. It was an honor for our staff to help create wonderful memories in Hawaii, especially with the fireworks at Hilton on Friday. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのお食事そして、エンターテインメントもお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。金曜日のヒルトンの花火も見れてハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことをスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
At first, I was nervous, but I gradually got used to it and was able to thoroughly enjoy horseback riding. It was my first time riding, but there were no issues. The scenery was amazing, and the staff were very kind.
最初は緊張しましたが、徐々に慣れてきてたっぷりと乗馬を楽しむことができました。初めての乗馬でしたが問題なかったです。景色が最高で、スタッフの方もとても親切でした。
I was very happy to see many dolphins swimming. I also encountered a small whale, but we couldn't see it, so I want to try again. The sea was very clear and beautiful. The sandwiches for lunch were very delicious.
泳いでいるたくさんのイルカが見えてとても嬉しかったです。
小さなクジラの仲間にも出会えましたが、私たちは見ることが出来なかったので、またリベンジしたいです。
海が透き通っていてとても綺麗でした。
お昼のサンドイッチがとても美味しかったです。
Dear Marlow, ALOHA! Thank you for participating in our tour and for the five-star rating. We are delighted that you were able to encounter many dolphins in the beautiful natural ocean of Hawaii and that you felt secure participating in the tour with the presence of our Japanese guide. Please do come visit us again when you return to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back. MAHALO!
マロー様ALOHA!この度は弊社のツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。並びに5星の評価もありがとうございます。ハワイの大自然な海で沢山のイルカに出会えました事日本人ガイドの在籍により安心してツアーにご参加していてだけました事嬉しく思います。またハワイに来られる際は是非遊びに来て下さい。スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。MAHALO!
I participated alone.
I don't speak much English, but they explained things clearly, so I was able to understand in English.
I was taught how to do it on land and then headed straight to the sea!
I'm very satisfied!
It's a bit pricey, but I'm glad I had photos and videos taken as memories.
The two hours were quite intense, but it was really fun!
1人で参加しました
私はあんまり英語は話せないけど分かりやすく教えてくれるので英語でも理解できました
陸でやり方を教えてもらってそのまんま海へと向かいました!
とても満足度が高いです!
少し高いけど写真動画もプラスで撮ってもらって思い出が形に残って良かったなと思います!
2時間結構ハードだけどすごい楽しかったです
Everything was perfect, but mostly for entertainment was awesome!
Trying to find activities that appeal to a family, like mine, that ranges in age from 13 to 60 can be challenging, but this zipline adventures was a winner for all!
Thanks to our team of Payton, Jayden, and Tyler, my family was safe and entertained from equipment prep to zipping through the trees to our final return. We loved our up-close-and-personal view of movie props and backdrops to nature in all of its glory. In true Hawaii fashion, we got sun, clouds, light rain, and a picturesque rainbow all during our tour.
We started with easy zips to acquaint ourselves with the equipment and procedures. In no time, we were ready to FLY superman-style and zip UPSIDE DOWN (all optional, of course!).
We had hours of phone-free fun. We survived a dinosaur attack - if you know, you know - and we can't wait to do it again.
Big thanks to Jayden for helping a scared mom master her fear of flying to see Kauai in the most exciting way!
If you're going to Sea Life Park, I definitely recommend experiencing the interaction with the dolphins. The dolphins warmly welcome everyone. This time, I met Grandma Laka (the dolphin) together with my child.
Sea Life Parkに行くなら、イルカとの触れあいは是非体験されるのが良いと思います。
イルカは皆を優しく迎えてくれます。今回は子どもと一緒に、ラカおばあちゃん(イルカ)に会いました。
During my sixth trip to Hawaii, I went to see a show for the first time. It seems to be held daily, but the seats were nearly full, and the buffet meal was very delicious. There were many participants who were not Japanese. My husband also got to participate in a hula lesson, which was a very enjoyable experience.
After that, we moved to the show, and sitting in the middle, it was truly impressive. The two lead female dancers were very beautiful, and their dancing was sharp and captivating. I wasn't very familiar with Elvis Presley due to my generation, so I couldn't tell how similar he was, but other guests were standing up and getting excited. I thought the structure of the show was wonderful.
What I felt during this trip is that, overall, the number of staff who can speak Japanese seems to have decreased compared to before the pandemic. However, it was definitely the right choice to select this show during my long-awaited return to Hawaii. I highly recommend it!
6回目のハワイで、初めてショーを見に行きました。
毎日開催しているようですが、席はほぼ満席で、ビッフェのお食事はとても美味しかったです。参加者は日本人以外の方が多かったです。
夫がフラレッスンにも参加させてもらい、とても楽しい体験ができました。
その後、ショーに移動、真ん中の席でとても圧巻でした。2トップの女性ダンサーがとてもお綺麗で、ダンスもキレッキレで見とれてしまいました。
エルビスプレスリーは世代的にあまり知らなかったので似ているのかは微妙でしたが、他のお客さんは立ち上がって盛り上がってました。ショーの構成はとても素晴らしいと思いました。
今回の旅行で感じたのは、全体的に日本語を話せるスタッフの方が(コロナ前と比べて)減っているようですね。でも久しぶりのハワイでこのショーを選んで正解でした。ぜひオススメします!
Thank you very much for attending the Rock-a-Hula VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Luau Buffet and the Rock-a-Hula entertainment. We are confident that participating in the hula lesson created wonderful memories for you. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご夫婦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、ロッカフラ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。フラレッスンにも参加していただき、素敵な思い出になったかと確信しております。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。
I participated in a helicopter tour of the Big Island! The pilot was Toshi, who recently became a grandfather and has semi-retired. I felt very lucky to meet Toshi on this trip!
From the moment we headed to the helicopter, my excitement soared, and it reached its peak during takeoff! I was moved by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Big Island spread out below me.
The landing and takeoff at the cliffs of Kohala Coast and the 365-meter drop of Punalu'u Falls were absolutely thrilling!
As I flew, reflecting on the history from the birth of the Big Island to the present, I was reminded of how short and precious life is.
It was truly priceless! I highly recommend it!
ビッグアイランドのヘリコプター遊覧ツアーに参加しました!パイロットはToshiさん、お孫さんが産まれて、セミリタイアされたとの事。今回、Toshiさんにお会い出来たのは、非常にラッキーでした!
ヘリに向かう時からテンションが上がり、テイクオフでMAXに到達!眼下に広がるビッグアイランドの大自然に感動しました(^^)
特にコハラ海岸の断崖絶壁と、落差365mのプナルルの滝へのランディング&テイクオフは迫力満点でした!
ビッグアイランドの誕生から今に至る迄の、歴史に思いを馳せながらのフライトは、人の一生が如何に短く、如何に大切か、改めて感じる事が出来ました!
正にプライスレス!!お勧めです(^^)
Joe and Kylie were great and a lot of fun.
Great afternoon and very organized.
Well done
Perfect for the entire family!
Everyone is so friendly and encouraging! A must do adventure with the family!
The check-in lines were confusing. Not enough clarity on which line was for preferred attendees and which was for general. Stood in the wrong line for 20 minutes before realizing we were in the wrong one. Check-in was about 20 mins late, which added to the frustration. The lawn at the Sheraton was not in great shape which was surprising compared to other times we've visited the property. Drinks were okay but the food and entertainment were very good. Overall, a good time for our families but was hoping for a bit more for the price.
The driver was outstanding and knew what she was talking about
I participated in the afternoon session.
- The live music on the boat was very pleasant, and the atmosphere was great as participants started dancing.
- I added both the banana boat and the bumper tube. The speed was something you can't experience in Japan. It was so much fun that I screamed so much I lost my voice the next day.
- There are various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, so you won't get bored.
- The light snack was a sandwich.
- You could also purchase alcohol separately, which allowed me to enjoy a drink with friends after playing.
- There was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, which was very reassuring. (I'm not sure if they are there every time.)
- The weather wasn't very good, so I wish I could have gone on a sunnier day.
- It seems that the timing for the sandbar varies by season, so if you want to see the sandbar, it's better to check the timing and decide whether to join in the morning or afternoon. We were in the afternoon, so we couldn't see the sandbar.
- There were many families, and I think it's a tour that children can enjoy as well.
午後の部に参加しました。
・船での生演奏はとても心地よく参加者の方が踊り始めたりととても良い雰囲気でした。
・バナナボートとバンパーチューブどちらも追加しました。日本じゃ味わえない速さです。叫びすぎて次の日声が枯れるくらい楽しかったです。
・シュノーケリングやサップ等の様々な遊びができるので飽きることがありません。
・軽食はサンドウィッチでした。
・お酒も別途購入することができて遊んだ後に友達とゆっくりお酒を楽しむこともできました。
・日本語ができる添乗員さんもいたのでとても安心でした。(毎回参加しているのかは分かりません)
・あまり天候が良くなかったのでもっと天気のいい日に行きたかったなと思います。
・サンドバーは時期によって時間帯が違うみたいなのでサンドバーに出会いたい方は時間帯をチェックしてから午前か午後に参加するかを決めたほうがいいです。私達は午後だったのでサンドバーをみることはできませんでした。
・家族連れの方も多く、子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. Although the weather was somewhat cloudy, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. Please come back to see the sandbar on a sunny day next time. We look forward to welcoming you again. From all the staff at KBOS.
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。曇りがちなお天気だったようですが楽しんで頂けたとの事で大変嬉しく思っております。今度は晴れた日のサンドバーを見にまた是非いらしてください。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
Chief was Funny.
Bus trip was excellent
Cousin Greg was awesome
