Hawaii
Our Star Gazing tour with Yoshi was better then we even expected! His knowledge of the star field was appreciated and he fully explained the stops for altitude acclimation and conditions we could expect at the summit. He also stopped to pick up donuts to share before the sunset viewing.
We initially stopped near the fairly crowded observatory area for picture taking, but he then drove us to a more secluded spot where we were able to enjoy the sunset and nighttime views in almost total isolation.
Though we came prepared with hoodies and midweight jackets, gloves and hot coffee, Yoshi had hot water available for making green tea or other beverages, as well as any additional jackets and blankets if needed.
Yoshi set up a high powered binocular stand and a telescope for viewing several star clusters, and luckily we were also able to see the Southern Cross. Perhaps the best feature, though, was lying on our backs and just looking at the star filled sky, which was an almost transcendental experience.
We had previously driven up Mauna Kea years ago, and being able to relax and enjoy the view on the ascent, rather than having to concentrate on the road, especially on the way down after nightfall was well worth the cost.
Avoid the big Hotel tour groups and book with Maui Allstars for a more personalized trip and I am sure you will not regret it. Apologies that night photo did not have appropriate exposure setting to really display the stars.
마우이 할레이칼라는 해돋이로 유명하지만
석양과 별보기가 휠씬 아름답고 놀라워요.
세상 어느곳보다 숨막히는 노을과
하늘에 가득찬 수많은 별들을 보았습니다.
가이드 요시의 편안한 운전과 안내는 정말 값어치 있어요.
이투어 강추합니다
I loved it, if you don't mind getting alittle dirty and riding an ATV around a beautiful farm along the ocean! I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around. The only thing I wished was to be able to do some donuts in the mud highly recommend!
First, to mention the positives, there were a lot of sea turtles during snorkeling, and I was able to take many photos and see them, so I was satisfied with that.
On the downside, I didn't think the sandbar was beautiful at all. The sandbar at Barasu Island in Okinawa (an island made of coral remains in the middle of the sea) was much more impressive. After all, the sea in Okinawa is much prettier.
Also, due to the weak yen, it felt very expensive for what it was...
まず、良かった点からいえば、シュノーケリング時にウミガメがたくさんいて、たくさん写真が撮れたり、見れたのでそこは満足。
がっかりだった点は、サンドバーが全然キレイとは思えなかった。沖縄のバラス島(サンゴの死骸でできた海の中心にある、サンドバーのような島)の方が何倍も感動した。やっぱり海は沖縄のほうがキレイ。
円安のせいもあり、すごーく高かったわりには、、、という感じ。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for choosing our company from among many tours the other day. We are truly sorry that we were unable to meet your expectations despite your participation. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日は数あるツアーの中から弊社を選んで頂きましてありがとうございました。
せっかくご参加頂きましたのに残念ながらご期待に沿えなかったようで本当に申し訳ございませんでした。
大切なお時間を割いていただき貴重なご意見をいただきましたこと心より感謝しております。
I had a great time visiting the places I saw in the drama. The guide was very considerate of our family, who doesn't speak English well, and spoke slowly while occasionally using Japanese. They were very kind. I want to improve my English skills and participate again.
ドラマでみた場所に行けて楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが英語ができない私たち家族を気遣って、ゆっくり話してくれたりたまに日本語を交えて話してくれました。
とても親切でした。
英語力をつけてまた参加してみたいです。
It was very beautiful. There weren't too many people, so it felt relaxing. The sea was incredibly clear, and the waves were calm. I put on my goggles and had fun snorkeling.
とても綺麗でした。人も余り多くなくゆっくりしている感じです。海がとにかく綺麗で波も穏やかでした。ゴーグルを付けて潜って遊びました。
Dear Mami,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. It was very lucky to encounter the sea turtles!!! We hope you will visit Kailua Beach Adventures again when you come to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you.

I had some anxiety on my first trip to Hawaii, but the presence of Japanese staff made me feel at ease. Instead of breakfast, we enjoyed an all-you-can-eat donut feast on the moving boat! The ride was smoother than I expected, and we arrived in no time. The water level was higher than I thought, but the beautiful, clear sea was amazing. We had fun with SUP and snorkeling, and we even got some photos taken along the way. It gets quite cold after coming out of the water, so extra towels and a jacket are essential. Please be careful as the return bus can also be quite chilly.
初めてのハワイで不安もありましたが日本人スタッフもいて安心した環境でした。
朝ごはんは食べずに移動の船で食べ放題のドーナツ!
思ったより揺れずにあっという間に到着。
思ったより水位がありましたが綺麗な海で透き通っていて最高でした。
SUPやシュノーケリングで楽しみ途中で写真も撮ってもらえました。
海から上がるとかなり寒いので余分なタオルや上着は必須です。
帰りのバスもかなり寒いので注意して下さい。
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。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。KBOS スタッフ一同
Wonderful staff, beautiful views, and yummy food! This was a great way to spend the morning - we would do it again in a heartbeat!
Everything was so well organized and every member of the crew gave such great service. Will definitely be doing this again! They were on time and took the initiative to explain the different activities and provided everyone the opportunity to be involved.
Mahalo for your review! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
The wind was a bit strong and there were waves, but the weather was good and we had a great time. The initial explanation was easy to understand, which eased my worries and allowed me to smoothly confirm any questions I had. I left the kayaking to my husband, which made it very easy for me. When we went out to sea, I thought the waves were strong and it would be difficult, but with the assistance of the staff who were there, we were able to smoothly get out to the ocean. Although the wind was present and the waves were somewhat high, it was still enjoyable.
In the morning, we kayaked, and after working up an appetite, for lunch my husband had pizza and I had loco moco. Both were hearty and delicious, exceeding our expectations. The pizza is served warm, so I recommend eating it right away.
In the afternoon, we rented bicycles and enjoyed Lanikai Beach as well. It was a luxurious day.
As a couple celebrating our 60th birthday, we were able to enjoy the beach in swimsuits, and we are grateful for the friendly assistance from the staff, who were accommodating even though we don't speak English. Thank you very much.
風がやや強く波があったのですが天気は良く充分楽しめました。
初めの説明が分かりやすく不安がなくなり聞きたいこともスムーズに確認できました。カヤックの移動は主人に任せ私はとても楽でした。海に出るときは波が強く困ったと思っていたらそこへ居てたスタッフの介助でスムーズに海に出ることができました。風がありやや波も高く理想的な環境ではなっかたと思うのですが気持ちよく楽しめました。
午前がカヤックでお腹のすいた後の昼食は主人はピザで私わロコモコ。どちらもボリューム満点でおいしくて予想以上の満足。ピザは温めて提供してくれるためすぐ食べることをお勧めします。
昼からは自転車をレンタルしてラニカイビーチも楽しめました。贅沢な1日でした。
還暦の夫婦ですがビーチでは水着で楽しめショップでは英語のできない私たちにもフレンドリーに対応していただいたスタッフの対応に感謝です。ありがとうございました。
Dear Customer,
Thank you very much for participating in the Kailua Beach Adventures tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed kayaking and the beach. Please do come back to Kailua when you visit Hawaii again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Since it was at the Royal Hawaiian Center, the location was easy to find, and even if you don't understand English, you can simply show your voucher at the reception and it goes smoothly.
You can enjoy local Hawaiian cuisine while watching hula dancing up close, and there was also a ukulele performance at each table. A welcome drink was included, and you could get an additional drink for free! The food was served buffet style, and it was satisfying in taste.
There was also a hula dance lesson, making it enjoyable for everyone from children to adults. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch the show, and it was just amazing! Traditional hula dancing, fire dancing, Michael, Elvis... it was packed with entertainment, and time flew by. After it ended, there was a time to take photos with the performers, which was a lot of fun! I was very satisfied to see an authentic show!
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターだったので場所もわかりやすく、受付も英語がわからなくてもバウチャーを見せるだけですんなり出来ました。
ハワイのローカルな料理を味わいながら間近でフラダンスを見ることができ、席ごとにウクレレ演奏もして頂きました。ウェルカムドリンクが1杯ついていて、プラスでもう一杯無料でした!料理もビュッフェスタイルで、味も満足できるものでした。
フラダンスレッスンもあり子供から大人までみんなが楽しめる内容でした。
食事後シアターに移動してショーを見ましたが、とにかく凄い!伝統的なフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、マイケルにエルビス、、盛りだくさんであっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。終わったあと出演者の人達と写真が撮れる時間もあったのでとても楽しかったです!本場のショーを見ることができ大満足でした!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show during your honeymoon in Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, as well as the performances by Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーに初ハワイでの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、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショー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。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 think both first-time visitors to Hawaii and those who have been many times can enjoy it. I felt the history of Hawaii along with the music and hula, and I was surprised by the high quality of the impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson who performed in the second half. On the day of the event, there was also a group of students from America watching, so the whole venue was very lively.
As for the buffet before the show, it was organized so that each table was called to go get food, so if you were at the back of the line, it took a while to start eating. I think it's better to arrive early if you want to take your time enjoying the meal.
ハワイが初めての人も何回も行っている人も楽しめると思います。
音楽やフラと共にハワイの歴史も感じられたし、後半に出演するプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんもクオリティが高くてびっくりしました。
当日はアメリカかな?の学生の団体も鑑賞していたので会場全体が大盛り上がりでした。
ショーの前のビュッフェですが、テーブルの列ごとに声が掛かって取りに行けるようになっていたので、受付の順番が遅いとなかなか食べ始めることが出来ませんでした。
ゆっくり時間をかけて食べたい方は早めに行かれた方がいいと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the meal and the show overall.

I booked Rock-a-Hula for my wife, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time on our honeymoon.
It was a great experience to interact with people from other countries while sitting around the table with others who had also reserved the same buffet.
At the buffet, we were able to enjoy a lot of Hawaiian dishes. Everything was delicious, and it made our time more enjoyable as we shared it with those around us. My wife particularly loved the pineapple and kept eating it (laughs).
The show after the buffet was very satisfying. It summarized the history of Hawaiian music in an easy-to-understand way by decade, making it very enjoyable.
Both the hula dance and fire dance were very captivating.
The shows featuring Elvis and Michael were so enjoyable that it felt as if they were still alive, which made me personally very happy.
My wife was also thrilled to see this show on her first trip to Hawaii, so I felt it was a great choice.
It was such an amazing experience that I would love to see it again if the opportunity arises.
新婚旅行にて初めてハワイに行く妻の為に今回ロック・ア・フラを予約しました。
同じビュッフェを予約した方と対面してテーブルを囲む形式で他の国の方々と交流が出来、とても刺激になりました。
ビュッフェではハワイ料理を沢山味わうことができました。どの料理も美味しく、より周りの人と楽しみながら過ごすことが出来ました。
妻はパイナップルが特に美味しかったようでずっと食べてました(笑)
ビュッフェが終わったあとのショーはとても満足感のあるものでした。
ハワイの音楽の歴史を簡単に年代ごとでまとめてくれてありとても分かりやすく楽しめるものでした。
フラダンスもファイヤーダンスもとても魅力的でした。
エルヴィスとマイケルのショーはまるで本人たちがまだ生きていたのではと思うほど楽しめるもので僕個人としては嬉しかったです。
奥さんも初めてのハワイでこのショーを見れてとても喜んでいたのでここを選んで良かったなと思いました。
また機会があればもう一度見たいと思うような最高のものでした。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockafella Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show for your honeymoon. We are honored that we could help create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and it seems that your wife, who visited Hawaii for the first time, enjoyed herself. We are delighted that you enjoyed the entertainment as part of Hawaii's musical history. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

Last year, I had a wonderful experience with Dan and Chieko, so this year I made a reservation without hesitation, and I was able to meet them again. I am truly grateful. This year, I was also moved to meet the unexpected Honu (sea turtle). Of course, for us who can't swim much, the two of them were like sea gods, providing reassurance. I definitely want to rely on them again. Thank you very much! I highly recommend them to everyone! ✨
昨年ダンさんチエコさんに大変素敵な経験をさせて頂いたので 今年は躊躇なく予約 そしてまたお会いできました ほんと感謝感謝そして今年はおもっても見なかったホヌちゃんにも会え感動感激 もちろん大して泳げない私たちにとりおふたりは 海神のように安心 またぜひお世話になります ありがとうございました
皆さん超おすすめです✨
We participated as a family of three: a couple in their late 50s and their daughter in her 30s. It was everyone's first time on a Segway, but each of us was taught carefully and clearly. Thanks to Josie, who spoke Japanese well and was very friendly, we were able to relax. We enjoyed areas that are inaccessible by car and distances that would take hours to walk, all while feeling the Hawaiian scenery and breeze. We had a wonderful time.
家族3人で参加しました。
50代後半の夫婦と30代の娘です。
セグウェイは全員初めてでしたが、
1人ずつ、丁寧にわかりやすく教えていただきました。日本語も上手で、親しみやすいジョシーのおかげで、緊張感もほぐされました。
車では行けないエリアや、歩くと数時間かかる距離を、ハワイの景色を風を感じながら、満喫しました。幸せな時間を過ごす事ができました。
We had a fantastic time and our guide Izzie was awesome. The hike and the falls was so beautiful. We had a great time, this is a must do excursion!
Aloha Jackie,
Izzy wrote the guide book or should have. Your guide is the leader of the pack and she is a delight/fun to work with.
Thanks for taking the time to share and for the 5 stars and will share your kind words with the celebrity.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
This is an entertainment experience recommended for both first-time visitors and repeat travelers to Hawaii. It was my first time participating, and the pre-show dinner exceeded my expectations in both quality and quantity.
The main show, while a tribute performance, was not at all trivial; it was a well-crafted entertainment experience with impressive stage production that left a strong impact. The setting kept everyone engaged, and the audience was united in enthusiastic applause for the wonderful performance. I believe attending this event is definitely worth it.
ハワイ初心者にもリピイターにもおすすめのエンターテイメントです。
初めての参加でしたが事前のディナーも予想外に質量とも大満足です。
メインのショーはそっくりさんのショーとはいえ、全く馬鹿にする内容でなく、完成されたエンターテイメントで舞台演出も大迫力の感激もので、全く飽きること無い舞台設定で会場の観客が一体化して大盛り大歓声で素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした、
一度参加しても損は無いと思います。

Russ was so knowledgeable of the island and where to go taking us off road and finishing up with a great recommendation for lunch. He also helped us out with shuttles to the cat farm and back to the beach. We visited shipwreck beach and garden of the gods as well as being told a lot about other places we saw, the history and current events.
We loved the friendly staff and their expertise they explained everything well that we all had fun safe riding time. Would definitely come back next time for a longer tour. If you are planning this ahead of time, grab a warm hat. It gets cold and misty and very windy. But they do have extra jackets and cowboy hats and even boots to use for the ride.
This was a great adventure - something we have wanted to do for quite a while. The entire experience was well run, very organized, and clear on expectations. Directions to the facility, instructions on what to bring, and the itinerary were specific and clear.
The ride up to the tubing location was fun and Chelsea made the ride interesting with her presentation of the history and landscape of the area and island. Her reverence for the locals was awesome.
The tubing experience itself was as adventure and fun! It was very relaxing. The few times when one might feel a little anxious, the guides were calming in explaining exactly what to do and what to expect.
Upon return, the fresh and homemade items for lunch was tasty and hit the spot after the adventure.
Excellent time!
I participated with my son (4th grade) and daughter (1st grade). The weather forecast the day before predicted thunderstorms, and it was cloudy in the morning with rain during the bus ride, but it cleared up when we got on the boat, allowing us to enjoy the blue sky at the sandbar.
It was quite cold on the boat due to the wind, and since we went straight into the sea, the kids were pretty cold even though it was sunny. I think it's a good idea to bring extra bath towels and cover-ups.
There were areas where the beach was exposed, but they were far from where the boat was docked, so we didn't go there and instead took photos and did some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The water level was about up to an adult's calves. The kids quickly got the hang of SUP and had a lot of fun.
During snorkeling, they lent us a ZAYAK for my daughter, who can't swim, and she was thrilled to see fish and sea turtles. It seemed that the ZAYAK was only available for children.
I was surprised to see sea turtles up close, even more than I expected. I couldn't take good underwater photos with my smartphone in a waterproof case, so I want to prepare an underwater camera for next time.
We were also able to see many sea turtles from the boat on the way there and back. The staff who spoke Japanese were very friendly and made it enjoyable. I would like to participate in this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
息子(小4)と娘(小1)と一緒に参加しました。
前日の天気予報が雷雨で、朝も曇り、バス移動中も雨が降っていましたが、船に乗るときには晴れてきて、青空のサンドバーを満喫できました。
船上は風が当たるので結構寒く、そのまま海に入るので、晴れていても子供たちはかなり寒がっていました。バスタオルや羽織りものは多めに用意した方がいいと思います。
砂浜が出ている場所もありましたが、船の停泊箇所から離れていたのでそこまで行かずに写真を撮ったり、SUPしたりしました。大人のふくらはぎくらいの水位でした。初めてのSUPは子供達もすぐに立てて楽しめました。
シュノーケリングの際、泳げない娘のためにZAYAKを貸して頂けて、娘も魚やウミガメを見ることができて喜んでしました。ZAYAKの貸出は子供のみの様でした。
ウミガメを想像以上に間近で見ることができて驚きました。防水ケースにいれたスマホでは水中でうまく撮影できなかったので、次は水中カメラを用意して参加したいです。
行き帰りの船からもウミガメを沢山見ることができました。日本語を話せるスタッフの方がとても気さくで楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったときにはこのツアーに参加したいです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour with your family. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful blue sky sandbar. Next time, we'll do underwater camera shooting. We look forward to seeing your smiles again with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。ご家族でご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございます。
美しい青空のサンドバーを楽しんで頂けたようで大変うれしく思います。
次回は水中カメラ撮影ですね。皆様の笑顔にまたお会いできる日をウミガメたちとお待ちしております。Mahalo!
I've participated in various tours, but this one was among the top two I've ever experienced.
This time I joined the VIP course, and the variety and quantity of the dinner were incredible—so lavish that not even all the participants could finish it. It's a buffet style, and if you go about 10 minutes after the initial rush, it goes smoothly. The staff's performances during dinner were also engaging and kept us entertained.
After about an hour, we moved to the hall for the show. The fire dance unique to Hawaii and the performances by Elvis and Michael impersonators were breathtaking!
Next time I go with someone, I will definitely repeat this tour.
いろいろなツアーに参加してますが歴代1〜2位を争うほど最高なツアーでした。
今回VIPコースの参加となりましたがまずはディナーの種類や量が半端なく参加者全員でも食べきれないほどの豪華でビュッフェスタイルですが最初の混雑を10分ほどずらして行くとスムーズです。
ディナー中のスタッフの演出も飽きさせないものでした。
1時間ほどでホールに移動してショーが始まります。
Hawaii特有のファイアーダンスやエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさんのパフォーマンスには圧巻です!
次誰かと行く時はこのツアーリピします
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show during your fourth trip to Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, the performances by Elvis and Michael, as well as the Hawaiian show. We also appreciate your wonderful and 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&ショーにハワイ旅行4回目としてご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショー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。そして、大変素敵な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、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.
After taking a shuttle bus from Waikiki for about 50 minutes, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Once everyone got off the bus, there was an announcement saying, "If you would like to hear the explanation in Japanese, please follow the Japanese staff." While we were sitting with the rest of the group, others were being called by name and receiving their tickets and schedules, but we were not called... In the end, our tickets were with the Japanese staff, and there was a bit of a delay there. It would have been clearer if they had said, "Those with Japanese names, please go over there."
Thanks to our cheerful driver guide, we enjoyed visiting filming locations from Jurassic World and LOST, but just before the afternoon Ocean Voyage Tour, there was a sudden downpour! Everyone else had ponchos and umbrellas ready, but we were left unprotected and got completely soaked from head to toe. There was a poncho vending machine at the meeting point... I should have bought one without hesitation. Well, it's a good memory now.
ワイキキから送迎バスに乗って約50分ほどでクアロアランチに到着。全員バスから降りたところで、「事前説明を日本語で聞きたい人は日本人スタッフについて行って下さい」と案内があり、そのままその他大勢と一緒に座っていたところ、他の人はどんどん名前を呼ばれ、チケットとスケジュール表をもらっているのに呼ばれず・・・結局私たちのチケットは日本人スタッフさんが持って行っていて、そこで少し手間取りました。「日本の名前の人はあちらへ」と言ってもらったほうがわかりやすかったです。
明るいドライバーガイドさんのお陰でジュラシック・ワールド、LOSTなどの撮影場所を楽しく見学、まではよかったのですが、午後オーシャンボヤージツアー直前に突然の大雨!!皆さんポンチョや傘などを用意されていましたが、私たちだけ無防備で頭から足まで全身びしょ濡れになりました。集合場所にポンチョ自販機があったのに・・・迷わず買っておくべきでした。ま、いまではいい思い出です。
I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone coming to Kauai for their 1st or 10th time! This tour is the perfect level of activity with the 2 mile kayak breezing by and the 1.5 mile hike not feeling very strenuous. Izzy was so kind and accommodating towards everyone in our group regardless of our fitness level. She made the tour feel more personalized, which was so special. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful, and words don't do justice to how refreshing the water feels. Izzy also provided our group some recommendations for Farmer's Markets and restaurants on the island, which I will keep in mind for myself and others' future trips!
Aloha CN,
Izzy does it again and won you over.
Izzy remains the "Queen of the Wailua" with her tours that are fun and fact filled, while keeping you safe.
Thanks for the 5 stars and hope to see you back at the Sacred/Secret Falls.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
This experience was amazing our tour guide Dexter was great explaining everything very well accomodating everyone’s needs would highly recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful experience & really enjoyed it!! Would highly recommend!
Aloha Mel !
Mahalo for your five-star review! We’re happy you enjoyed your time exploring Hawaii's marine life and adventuring with Atlantis Adventures ! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
This experience became the most memorable one in Hawaii. The sandbar made me feel like I was in another world, and seeing the sea turtles was amazing. The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best.
Snorkeling is safe even for those who are not good swimmers. I was considering skipping it before going, but in the end, I joined in, and my parents, who are over 60, also participated. My elementary school-aged children went snorkeling for the first time, and they enjoyed it so much that they wanted me to buy them masks, which I did that day, and they even wore them to swim in the hotel pool.
I brought my 1-year-old baby, and I wish I had taken an umbrella. Even with sunscreen, you can still get quite sunburned. I think it's better for those with small children to have some kind of sun protection. The staff were friendly and great at chatting.
ハワイの中でこの体験が1番記憶に残る体験になりました。
サンドバーは異世界に来た気分になり、ウミガメも観れて、船上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
シュノーケリングは、泳ぎが苦手な人でも安心してできます。私も行く前は辞めとこうかと思っていましたが、結果私も入り60才を超えてる父母も入りました。小学生の子どもたちも初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、よっぽど楽しかったのかマスクを買って欲しいということで、その日に買いホテルのプールでもマスクをつけて泳いでました。
1才の赤ちゃんを連れて行ったのですが、日傘を持って行けば良かったと思いました。
日焼け止めを塗って行ってもかなり焼けます。
小さいお子様連れの方は何か対策があった方がいいと思います。
スタッフの方も気さくでお話し上手でした。
As soon as you check in, you head straight to the dining table. VIP guests have seats that are easy to access from outside. You can enjoy a buffet with steak, roast pork, and lomi lomi, among other dishes. The first drink is a fixed Mai Tai, and VIP guests can have another one. You can drink this at the dining table or later at the bar inside the theater. Other beverages like coffee and tea were available at the buffet.
The show is held in a different theater. There are no tables. VIP guests are seated in the front center. There are various performances including hula, singing, and Tahitian dance. The impersonator of Michael Jackson is the only one who appears, and this part is the most exciting.
After the show, you can take photos with the performers. It was a lot of fun!
チェックインをするとすぐにお食事テーブルへ。
VIP客は外に出やすいお席でした。

A first-time experience. My 6-year-old grandchild was very satisfied! My 70-year-old grandfather was also very satisfied! The boat staff were hospitable and full of humor! The experience of viewing Waikiki from the sky was amazing!
初めての体験。6歳の孫も大満足!70歳のジージーも大満足!ボートスタッフもホスピタリティがあり、ユーモアたっぷりでした!ワイキキを空から眺める体験は最高でした!
It's helpful that there is a plan with transportation included. So, it's better to wear a cover-up over your swimsuit before going. The voucher mentions that you need to download and bring a consent form, but it will be provided on-site, so you don't need to bring it.
On the boat ride to the location, they will perform and sing for you.
You can enjoy snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking!
For snorkeling, you can go near the coral reefs and observe the fish! The water is clear, so you can see well! I thought there would only be small fish, but there were also large fish and eels. However, be really careful as there are stones and coral fragments on the bottom, and the coral is spiky, which can easily cut your feet.
You can also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but there are limited numbers available, so you can't go until someone returns one. I wish they had a few more stand-up paddleboards available.
By the way, there are light snacks (only donuts), but I didn't have an appetite before playing, and when I went to get some afterward, they were all gone. It's a shame they didn't prepare enough.
Also, the bus drivers for the outbound and return trips are the same, so it's a good idea to remember their faces! (laughs)
送迎付きプランがあるのが助かります。
なので、水着に上着を着てから行った方が良いです
バウチャーには同意書をダウンロードして持って来てって書いてますが、現地で渡されるので持って行かなくても良いです。
船で現地まで行く道中、演奏しながら歌を歌ってくれます。
シュノーケリング、サップ、カヤックが楽しめます!
シュノーケリングはサンゴ礁の近くに行って、魚を観察できます!
海が澄んでいるので良く見えます!小魚だけかなと思っていたら、大きな魚やウツボのような魚もいました。
ただし、石?やサンゴの破片?などが落ちている上に、サンゴもトゲトゲしているので足を切りやすいのでマジで注意です。
サップやカサックも出来ますが、台数に限りがあるので、誰かが返すまで乗れません・・。特にサップはもう少し用意して欲しいです。
また、軽食(ドーナツのみ)があるのですが、遊ぶ前は食欲無かったので、遊び終えた後に取りに行ったらもう無くなってました。十分な数を用意してないのが残念でした。
ちなみに行きと帰りのバスは運転手の顔が一緒なので、顔は覚えておいた方がいいです!(笑)
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We always prepare donuts for the number of participants plus a little extra, but we ask everyone to take one at the beginning, and if there are any leftovers, we give them to those who would like to have more. I believe that your portion was taken by someone else. I apologize for that. Regarding the SUP matter, we will share it internally and use it to improve our services further. Thank you for your valuable feedback and comments. From all of us at KBOS staff.
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。ドーナツはいつも参加人数++でご用意させて頂ていますが、最初に皆様に1つづつお取り頂く様お願いして残った場合は余りとして食べたい方へ差し上げているのでYUKI様の分は他の方が召し上がってしまったんだと思います。。申し訳ありませんでした。サップの件は社内で共有させて頂き、更なるサービス向上に向けて役立てていく所存です。貴重なご意見、ご感想をありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
