Hawaii
Fantastic adventure and great staff. Perfectly organized. A most do.
One of the best experiences I have ever had. We have snorkeled and saw so many fishes. Like the crystal clean water and kayaking ., what else ., a complete package with live music and drink.
Mahalo for your review & beautiful pictures! - Team KBOS
I had mistakenly made a reservation for the wrong date, but the staff's response was absolutely wonderful. Many of the staff members understood Japanese, and the service was really good. However, the content of the dinner started with a salad dressed with a tangy dressing, the olive oil for the bread also had balsamic vinegar, the pasta was tomato-flavored with a tangy taste, and the steak was served with a balsamic vinegar sauce... it was a parade of sour flavors that I didn't prefer. The asparagus served with the steak was also very tough at the base. Waikiki is expensive, so I understand, but as a Japanese person, I felt that the content for two people at 30,000 yen, especially with the yen's depreciation at 160 yen, was not justified. It was crowded, so the dessert also took a long time to come out, and I declined it. The staff was very kind, saying that takeout was also available. Thank you very much.
日にちを間違えて予約していたので、直前に変更して頂いたりと、
スタッフの方の対応は最高に素晴らしかったです。
日本語がわかるスタッフの方も多く、接客は本当に良かったです。
ただ、ディナーの内容が、
酸味の効いたドレッシングのサラダに始まり、
パンにつけるオリーブオイルもバルサミコ酢入り、
パスタはトマト味で酸味が効いており、
ステーキもバルサミコ酢のソース。。と、
酸っぱいオンパレードで好みではありませんでした。
ステーキの付け合わせのアスパラガスも根元がカチカチのもの。
ワイキキは物価が高いので仕方ありませんが、160円の円安のせいもありますが、
飲み物別で二人で3万円の内容ではないと感じてしまう日本人です。
混んでいたので、デザートも出てくるのが遅かったので、お断りしました。
お持ち帰りもできますよ、とスタッフの方はとても親切でした。
ありがとうございました。
At Sandbar, there was one SUP available for each group, and my family of three quickly took on the challenge of our first SUP experience. At first, it was difficult to maintain balance, but after several attempts, we managed to stand up. I think we were out there for about 30 minutes, but the time flew by.
After that, we went snorkeling, following our guide to see the sea turtles. We encountered large turtles resting on the rocks and others swimming, which was amazing. Additionally, we could freely drink water, coffee, tea, and enjoy apples and snacks on the boat. The only limit was one Spam per person.
The prices felt a bit high due to the weak yen, but it was a fantastic experience overall. The crew members were all very friendly, which made it even better.
サンドバーでは1組に1つ程度のSUPが用意されていて、早速家族3人で初めてのSUPにチャレンジしました。
最初はバランスを取るのが難しかったですが、何度かチャレンジするうちに何とか立てるようになりました。
30分くらいだったと思いますがあっという間に時間が経ってしまいました。
そのあとはシュノーケリングでガイドさんの後を着いてホヌを見に行きました。岩場で休んでいる大きなホヌや泳いでいるホヌにも出会うことができて最高でした。
また、船内の水、コーヒー、紅茶、りんご、お菓子などは自由に飲んだり食べたり出来ます。スパムだけは1人1個でした。
料金は円安でちょっと高めに感じましたがとても良い体験でした。クルーの方々も感じの良い方ばかりでとても良かったです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. I heard you also tried SUP. The refreshing feeling of riding a SUP while feeling the Hawaiian breeze is truly recommended. Please come back to see the honu again. We are looking forward to that day with all our hearts.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
SUPにも挑戦されたとのこと。ハワイの風を受けながら乗るSUPの爽快感は本当にお勧めです。
またぜひホヌたちに会いにお越しください。その日を心よりお待ちしております。
Driving the buggy myself was fun. We stopped several times to take photos at movie locations, and they took some great pictures. The distance between vehicles is quite strict.
バギーを自分で運転して楽しかった。何度か止まって映画のロケーションで撮影をしてくれるのですが、いい感じの写真を撮ってくれます。
車間距離に結構シビアです。
We Had a fabulous evening, great shows and food was fantastic
The guidance was in English, but there were no issues. I was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles). Departing from the Sheraton beach made the travel easy.
英語での案内でしたが、
問題無かったです。
イルカやホヌも見る事ができました。
シェラトンのビーチからの出航で
移動も楽でした。
レビューを残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!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us and we would love to have you back soon!
We had a great time watching the sunset sipping our drinks and talking to tourists about this amazing place. Everything went very smoothly on the boat, we were given great pointers about the boat and where to sit. Will do this again with my family. Thank you for a wonderful time!!
Unfortunately, only morning slots were available for reservation, and sadly the sandy beach did not appear, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves in the shallow waters with the SUP and inflatable rings that were available for rent!
The crew members were very kind, and I appreciated their efforts to communicate with us, even though we didn't understand English well.
We also received one spam rice ball per person, and there were plenty of snacks and a variety of drinks available. The warm beverages were perfect for our chilled bodies!
It was my first experience with SUP, and since it was in shallow waters, it was a lot of fun. My daughter also tried it for the first time and had an amazing time!
Next time, I would like to go when the sandy beach is available! Additionally, we encountered a sea turtle on the way, and on the return trip, we visited a coral reef shaped like a heart.
Thank you to all the crew members!
午前便しか予約が空いてなくて、残念ながら砂浜は出現しませんでしたが、それでもSUPや浮き輪が貸してもらえるので浅瀬で楽しく過ごせました!
またクルーの皆さんがとても優しくて、英語の分からない私たちにも必死で伝えるようにしてくれているのがありがたかったです。
そしてスパムおにぎりが1人1個もらえて、さらにスナック類などもたくさんあり、飲み物も種類があります。暖かい飲み物も充実しているので冷えた身体に最高でした!
SUP初体験でしたが、浅瀬なのでとても楽しかったです。娘も初めてでしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました!
次は砂浜の出るときに行ってみたいです!
あと行く途中でウミガメに会えましたし、帰りにはハートのカタチの珊瑚礁のところにも行ってくれました。
クルーの皆さん、ありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour with your family the other day. I'm really glad to hear that your daughter enjoyed it as well. We would be happy to see you again on your next visit to Hawaii. We will be waiting for you and the sea turtles on that day. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はご家族でツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
お嬢様も楽しんで頂けたとのことで本当に良かったです。
次回ハワイにお越しの際にもお越しいただけると嬉しいです。その日をウミガメたちとお待ちしております。A hui hou!
We took the ferry over to the neighboring island of Lana’i and spent the day there. Our awesome tour guide, Clive regaled us with stories of his life there on Lana’i and took us to the Garden of the Gods (looks like Mars landscape), then checked out Shipwreck Beach, visited the Cat Sanctuary and then spent the rest of the afternoon in Hulopo’e Beach.Thank you to Clive for bring friendly, knowledgeable and making us feel like ohana!
Aloha! Do not hesitate to book this excursion! Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were all so gracious and professional. Pack plenty of water and snacks. We took our waterproof , bluetooth speaker as well. Be prepared to paddle , take breaks when needed . Be aware of jellyfish as well. Maybe wear long sleeves, and leggings just to be cautious. Mahalo
I participated in snorkeling and relaxing at a beautiful beach. After arriving at the shop, I received explanations and safety instructions from the staff member Natsue, and then quickly rented a bicycle along with an optional snorkeling set and mat to head to Lanikai Beach, which has been ranked number one in the U.S. It took about 10 minutes by bike. The beach was quiet with few people, and it was truly beautiful. While snorkeling, I was able to see many tropical fish around the coral even close to the shore. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles), but it's said that you might see them if you're lucky.
I spent the morning at Lanikai Beach and returned to the shop for lunch. From the lunch options, I chose pizza and loco moco. The pizza was very large and delicious.
In the afternoon, I rented a beach chair and went to Kailua Beach. This beach had facilities like showers and restrooms, and there were families enjoying the seawater. I placed my beach chair in the shade of the trees along the shore and relaxed while occasionally going into the water until it was time to head back.
If you have any questions while you're there, you can ask the staff member Natsue, and she will help you. Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy a quiet and beautiful beach.
綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリング&のんびりしたく参加しました。
お店に到着後、スタッフのなつえさんから説明や注意事項を聞き、すぐに自転車とオプションのシュノーケリングセット、ゴザを借り全米で一番になったこともあるラニカイビーチへ。自転車で10分ほどです。人も少なく、静かで本当に綺麗なビーチでした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、海岸近くでも珊瑚の周りに熱帯魚を沢山見ることが出来ました。残念ながらホヌ(海亀)には出会うことは出来ませんでしたが、運が良ければ出会えるそうです。
午前中をラニカイビーチで過ごし、お店に戻りランチ。選べるランチの中からピザとロコモコを選びました。ピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。
午後はビーチチェアを借りてカイルアビーチへ。こちらはシャワーやトイレなどの設備があり家族連れで海水浴される方がいらっしゃいました。
海岸の木陰にビーチチェアを置き、時々海に入りながら、帰りの時間までのんびりと過ごしました。
現地で分からないことがあれば、スタッフのなつえさんに聞けば解決できました。
運良く天気にも恵まれ楽しめました。
静かで綺麗なビーチで遊びたい方にはお勧めです。
Dear Nobukuma,
Thank you very much for participating in the Kailua Beach Adventures tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed Kailua and Lanikai. When you come back to Hawaii, we hope you will visit Kailua Beach Adventures again. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

It was a condensed plan! The Kaneohe Bay cruise included a shuttle bus to the boat, which was an activity in itself, and it felt refreshing with the windows wide open. We rode on two types of boats, walked on the island, and the sea was beautiful. We were able to see coral reefs and honu in the shallow waters, and everywhere we looked was a photo opportunity; it was all so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.
The movie location bus tour had us boarding at the end, so our family of four ended up sitting separately... But in a way, it allowed us to interact with tourists from overseas. There was only one other Japanese group besides us.
The bus driver and guide performed a hula dance at the end, and it was incredibly moving! Even without a costume, there was an instant beautiful aura. I felt that this dance was a prayer.
My teenage son said he wants to experience something more active next time, like horseback riding or buggies, but my grandmother in her 70s was very happy with everything. We also bought the photos taken before the tour as a keepsake on our way back. I highly recommend it.
凝縮されたプランでした!
カネオヘ湾クルーズは、船までの送迎バスもアクテビティのひとつ、窓全開で爽快でした。船も2種類に乗り、島を歩くし、海も綺麗、浅瀬ではサンゴ礁やホヌも見ることができて、道中、どこをとっても、全ての景色がフォトチャンス、綺麗で、大満喫でした。
映画ロケ地バスツアーは、最後に並んで乗り込んでしまったので、家族4人がばらばらの相席に‥。それもそれで、海外からの観光客と、交流できたように思います。日本人は、私たちの他に1組だけいらっしゃいました。
バスのドライバー兼ガイドさんが、最後に、フラを踊ってくれたのですが、その踊りが、大変感動的でした!衣装をきてなくても、一瞬で美しいオーラに。この踊りは祈りなんだなと、感じました。
10代の息子は次は、馬とかバギーとかアクティブなものを体験したいと言ってましたが、70代の祖母は、どれも大変喜んでました。ツアー前に撮ってもらった写真も、帰りに記念に買ってきました。お勧めです。
I visit Hawaii every year, but this was my first time seeing RockAHula. The Mai Tais and food were even better than I imagined! In between meals, we enjoyed hula dancing, ukulele music, and singing. Both Japanese tourists and locals were having a great time.
From the VIP seats, we were able to watch the show right in the front, enjoying hula and Hawaiian songs, including Elvis and Michael's performances. The engaging production made the time fly by! I highly recommend seeing it at least once.
ハワイには毎年訪れていますが、今回初めてRockAHulaを観ました。
想像以上にマイタイも食事も美味しくいただきました!食事の合間にはフラダンスやウクレレ、歌で楽しめました。日本人もローカルの方も色々な方が楽しまれていました。
VIP席ではショーを1番前で観ることができ、フラやハワイアンソングのプレスリー、マイケルの歌を堪能できました。飽きさせない演出であっという間に時間が過ぎました!
一度は観ることをおすすめします。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show for the first time. 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&ショーに初め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。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。
It was a lot of fun to return to my childhood and try various things after a long time. The shops outside had many different items compared to Waikiki, and shopping was enjoyable as well. I want to go again!
久々に童心に返りいろんな事に挑戦したりととても楽しかったです。
外のショップもワイキキとは違う物が沢山売っていて買い物も楽しかったです。
また、行きたいです!
It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.
朝が早いツアーなので
9時からシュノーケリングになり
ハワイといえども寒いです
6月であれだけ寒かったので
冬はもっと寒いでしょう
できれば薄手のウェットスーツ
なければ長袖ラッシュは必須
あと、魚がたくさんいる場所は
マリンシューズも絶対履いてください。
あと日本語は一切通じないし
ピックアップ場所や時間も全て英語なので
英語できない人はやめた方がいいかも
I use it almost every time. I've also used taxis and Uber, but with advance reservations, there's almost no waiting time. There's no need to worry about tips, and for round trips to the airport, this is the only option for me.
ほぼ毎回利用しています。
タクシーやuberを利用したりもしましたが、事前予約で待ち時間もほぼなし。チップの心配もなく、空港への往復はこちら一択です。
It is a great service and a wonderful way to start a magical dream vacation. The greeter surprised my wife and provided a warm welcome and great island advice
I checked the tide chart and made a reservation to go, but the water level was about knee-high, so I went snorkeling. It was a bit murky, but I was able to see tropical fish swimming. The weather was a little bad, so it was a bit cold. The staff were friendly.
潮見表で確認して予約して行きましたが、ひざ上ぐらいの水位があったのでシュノーケリングをしました。少し濁り気味でしたが熱帯魚が泳いでいるようすは見れました。ちょっと天候が悪かったので少し寒かったです。スタッフさんは親切でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. Next time, please aim for a sunny day and come to see a different sandbar. We look forward to seeing you again. From all the KBOS staff.
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。次回は是非晴天の日を狙ってまた違ったサンドバーを見に来て下さい。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
We thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Circle Island Tour. We had the opportunity to visit so many different parts of the island and experience the true beauty of the Big Island. The tour was well planned and Neil was an amazing host!
I definitely recommend that all visitors try this tour at least once!
Great tour guide, was funny and knowledgeable. Only problem was that the waters were murky from the waves at the time so weren’t able to see anything through the glass but we did see a turtle in the water. Was nice to be out on the boat.
Great vacation activity to be a part of super nice scenery and I definitely would do it again.
Wow! What an awesome afternoon spent on the sandbar! The staff are wonderful, the location is breathtaking, the activities endless!! Just book it! You won’t regret it. Memories that I will treasure forever!
Mahalo for your review & sharing nice pictures! - Team KBOS
The buffet was delicious, and the staff was very attentive, which was great. The show had rich content and was very enjoyable. It seems like it would be even more fun if you familiarize yourself with Elvis and Michael's songs beforehand. Neither the buffet nor the show has any Japanese-speaking staff, so it would be helpful to know some basic phrases for ordering drinks and such. However, even if you can't speak any English, I think most people will still have a good time.
バイキングは美味しく、店員さんの気遣いもしっかりとしていて、よかった。
ショーは内容が濃く、とても楽しめた。エルビスとマイケルの曲を予習しておくとさらに楽しめそう。
バイキング、ショーともに日本語は全く通じないのでドリンクの頼み方等基本的なことは話せるといい。英語が全く話せなくても楽しめたのでほとんどの人が大丈夫だと思います。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflor VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

The whole experience was top quality.
The staff, the safety and the activity.
We had a blast.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Beautiful property.
Our only struggle was the waiting time for the shuttle.
First, we started with the welcome drink, a Mai Tai. The meal included three types of meat: chicken, pork, and beef, all of which were delicious. The salad was also fantastic, made with my favorite romaine lettuce. I reached my limit there, but my wife was thrilled with the dessert, which was filled with cakes, and she was very satisfied.
The post-meal hula show was just amazing; singing and dancing combined the fun of Hawaiian and rock music, and everything was of high quality, leaving us very satisfied. A friend is coming to Hawaii in October, so I definitely want to recommend that they participate.
まずウエルカムドリンクのマイタイからスタート料理はチキン、ポーク、ビーフと3種類揃っていてどれも美味しいお肉でした、サラダも大好きなロメインレタスを使った大変美味しい料理がいただけました。
私はそこでギブアップでしたが、嫁さんはさらにデザートのケーキも満載で、大満足でした。
食事後のフラショウはもう最高、歌って踊ってハワイアンとロックの楽しさが混ざり合って全てがクオリティが高く大満足でした。
10月に友人がハワイに来るので、必ず参加する様に進めたいと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the dining and entertainment at the Luau Buffet. 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もエンターテインメントも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。
Accommodation was in Kaanapali, and we were to meet at 8:45 AM.
The reviews mentioned it would take about an hour. In hindsight, that was based on a time when there was no traffic and no getting lost.
We decided to take the longer route. The reason was that we thought it would be easier and clearer to drive on a straight road without going through the city.
I estimated that it would take about two hours, allowing for some extra time.
On the day of the trip, however, my hotel alarm clock was broken, and I woke up at the scheduled departure time, leaving 15 minutes late.
Even so, I felt relaxed thinking that there would be little traffic on the longer route.
As we actually drove, it took less than 30 minutes to feel like we were on a mountain road. There were hardly any cars, and I thought we might arrive early while enjoying the scenery.
After a while, the road began to narrow, and I stopped seeing any houses; the only thing in sight was a warning sign for falling rocks.
At this point, I felt I couldn't turn back and had to trust my instincts to keep going.
As the meeting time approached, I was filled with anxiety, but then I saw a sign for horseback riding, and I was so relieved and excited.
We managed to arrive just in time, taking about 100 minutes.
We completed the check-in, and other participants started to gather. The briefing on horseback riding safety began at the scheduled time.
I can hardly speak English, but they kindly assisted me, and I understood the instructions on how to ride and the precautions through gestures.
Finally, it was time to ride. I was the first to get on a horse, and surprisingly, it was quite easy to mount, which relieved me. There were even small children riding.
The course was a mountain path with ups and downs, and we rode slowly, which made it enjoyable and pleasant. I had the leisure to enjoy the scenery as well.
When we reached our destination after descending the mountain, there was an explanation about the history of the area. On the way back, we took a different route for part of the journey.
It was a great experience, and I had so much fun.
By the way, the return trip took about 90 minutes on the shorter route.
I would love to go again someday, this time taking the shorter route (laughs).

今思えばこれは下回りで渋滞なく迷う事なく行けた時の記載でした。
私たちは上回りで行く事にしました。
理由は街中を通らず一本道で走りやすく分かりやすいと思ったからです。
所要時間は余裕を見越して2時間あればと勝手に推測してました。
さて当日、ホテル目覚ましが何と壊れており、出発予定時間に目覚めてしまい、遅れる事15分で出発しました。
それでも上回りは車が少なく渋滞はないと考えて気持ちに余裕はありました。
さて実際に走行して30分も掛からず山道を走る感じになりました。
それでも車は殆んど見なくて、これなら早く着くのではないかと思いながら景色も楽しみながら走っていました。
暫くすると、どんどん道幅が狭くなって来て、民家さえ見かけなくなり目に入って来るのは落石注意の標識だけでした。
それでもここまで来たら引き返す事も出来ず信じて進むしかありません。
集合時間も迫って来ている中で不安いっぱいな気持ちで進んで行くと乗馬の看板が目に飛び込んでた時はどれだけ感激した事か。
所要時間は100分でギリギリ間に合う事が出来ました。
無事受付も済まし他の参加者もぞくぞく集まり、予定時刻に乗馬の注意事項の説明が始まりました。
英会話は殆んど出来ないのですが親切に対応してくださりガイドの説明は手振り等で何となく乗馬の仕方、注意は分かりました。
さあいよいよ乗馬です。
初めて馬の上に乗ります。
よりによって私が一番でした。
実際に乗って見ると以外と簡単に乗れて安堵しました。
小さい子供も乗っていました。
コースはアップダウンがある山道でゆっくり歩きながらの乗馬なので楽しく気持ち良く乗れました。
景色を楽しむ余裕もありました。
山を下って行き目的地に着くとその土地の歴史と思われる説明がありました。
そして帰りは途中まで別ルートでした。
良い体験が出来て凄く楽しかったです。
ちなみに帰りは下回りで帰りましたが90分くらいでした。
またいつか行きたいです。
下回りで(笑)
Very enjoyable trip to Wet’n’Wild. Went on a weekday and we were able to get on the majority of slides and attractions. Would reccomend!
I went with my daughter and it was a beautiful experience. The hike was definitely a calorie burner foe me. My daughter barely broke a sweat! The tour guide was fantastic, along with our transportation driver. I loved the scenery, The information. Very great experience!
