Our guide lived here and shared some stories and was extremely knowledgeable. We encountered wild horses. Before entering, pray and be respectful. Thank you for showing us this beautiful sacred land

I enjoyed this tour a lot! My partner and I switched several times when it came to driving and it was very fun. An amazing experience, the views were fantastic, our tour guide was informative AND the tour guide took great pictures for us! It rained a bit when we went but that didn’t ruin the experience. It can definitely get muddy and cold, so be prepared and check the weather beforehand!!

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

We had a great time. The crew was fun and took good care of us.

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

I signed up for a horseback riding experience.

The horses were adorable, the scenery was beautiful, and it was so much fun!!

The horses were very smart and gentle, so I felt no anxiety while riding.

I was told their names, so I tried calling them out a lot ^_^

We took photos with the ocean in the background, which became great memories.

Also, the driver who accompanied us on the tour shared a lot of knowledge about Hawaii while we were in the car, which was really educational.

He talked about the Hawaiian language, Hawaiian plants, recent tourism trends in Hawaii, and the labor shortage, among other things. It was interesting since I don't often have the opportunity to learn about these topics.

For lunch, I wanted to go to Giovanni's for garlic shrimp, but I was taken to a different restaurant. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to try Giovanni's. Since the horseback riding took a bit longer, we had less time to eat and had to rush.

I think we only had about 30 minutes to explore Haleiwa Town.

However, I was very satisfied with the day because the horseback riding was so enjoyable.

乗馬体験がしたくて申し込みました。

馬が可愛くて、景色も良くて、とーっても楽しかったです！！

馬はとても賢くおとなしく、
乗っていても不安はなかったです。

名前を教えてもらったので、たくさん呼びかけてみました^_^

海を背景に写真も撮ってくれていい思い出となりました。

またツアーについてくれたドライバーさんが、
車の中でハワイの知識を沢山教えてくれてすごく勉強になりました。

ハワイ語についてや、ハワイの植物、最近のハワイ観光事情や、人手不足のことなど、、
なかなか知る機会がないので面白かったです。

お昼に食べたガーリックシュリンプはジョバンニに行きたかったのですが違うお店に連れてってもらいました。ジョバンニを食べてみたかったのでちょっと残念。乗馬も少し時間がおしたせいか、食べる時間が少なく大急ぎで食べました。

ハレイワタウン散策も３０分くらいしかなかったと思います。

ただ乗馬がとても楽しかったので満足な1日でした。

The weather was windy and the sea was cold, which was disappointing, but overall it was a good day.

It's a free plan where you can set your own schedule. I think it's a good idea to think about the places you want to visit in advance.

We first rented bicycles and snorkeling gear, and then headed to Lanikai Beach. It took about 10 minutes by bike.

They also told us the best spots for snorkeling, and we quickly jumped into the water. We borrowed life jackets, so even though it was windy, we were able to float and see underwater. I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish swimming in the shallow water—I didn't expect to see that much! It was cold, so we got out quickly, but I want to try again on a hot day.

For lunch, we had the pizza included in the plan. It was very large and satisfying.

In the afternoon, we went to Kailua Town, but since I hadn't done much research on the shops and didn't have many places I wanted to visit, we just wandered around and ended up not doing much.

If the weather had been better, I would have loved to enjoy the sea more...

I want to try again.

天気が風強く、海も寒かったのが残念でしたが、
総じて良い一日となりました。

自身で予定を立てるフリーのプランです。
事前に行きたいところを考えておくといいと思います。

私たちはまず
自転車・シュノーケリングの道具をレンタルし、
ラニカイビーチまで行きました。
自転車では10分程で着きました。

シュノーケリングしやすい箇所も教えてもらい、
すぐに海に潜りました。
ライフジャケットも借りたので、風が強かったですが、ぷかぷか浮きながら海中を見ることができました。
浅瀬でもいろいろな種類の魚が泳いでいて
こんなに見れると思わなかったのでびっくりでした！
寒くてすぐ上がってしまいましたが、またいつか暑い日にリベンジしたいです、、

お昼はプランについているピザを食べました。
とても大きくて満足です。

午後はカイルアタウンに出向きましたが、あまりお店の下調べをしておらず、行きたいところもそこまでなかったのでぷらぷらして終わりました。

天気が良ければもっと海を満喫したかったです…

またリベンジしたいです。

Good food, good show. They kept things moving with no waiting. Still expensive though.

I was a little worried that they might not come to pick me up since I was running a bit late, but they arrived right on time! They also helped with my luggage and took me right to the front of my airline!

少し時間より遅れていたのでほんとに迎えに来るのか少し心配になりましたがちゃんと来ました！
荷物も入れてくれて、自分の乗る航空会社の前まで送ってくれます！

As soon as I exited the airport, there was a staff member, and when I spoke to them, they told me to go to a specific number. I went there and spoke to another staff member, and I was able to get on the bus right away!

空港を出て直ぐに案内の方がいるので話しかけたら、何番の所へ行ってくださいと言われるのでそこまで行き係の方に話しかけるとすぐにバスに乗れました！

This was my tenth helicopter tour in Honolulu, including the experience of piloting. I brought along a friend who was trying it for the first time.

The wind was strong that day, and the eastern side of Oahu in winter was particularly rough. A bit disappointing!

I think winter is a good time for a helicopter tour around Honolulu.

Another disappointment was the prohibition on taking photos in front of the helicopter before departure, and even after returning. It seems they want to sell photos taken by the helicopter company.

In the past (with a different helicopter company), I was able to take pictures in front of the helicopter with my own camera, and the pilot was happy to pose for the camera. I understand it's a business, but I wish they would allow us to take at least this kind of photo.

ホノルルのヘリ遊覧は体験操縦も含めて10数回目。今回、ヘリ初体験の友を案内で同乗。
この日は風強く、冬のオアフの東側はなお荒れる。ちょい残念！
冬場はホノルル遊覧程度が良いように思う。
もう一つ、更に残念だったのは出発前のヘリの前での撮影禁止。帰着した後も。ヘリ会社撮影の写真を売りたいためか。
今までは(ヘリ会社は他社)ヘリの前で自前のカメラで、パイロットもすすんでカメラに収まってくれた。
商売だから仕方ないがこの程度の写真は撮らせて欲しい。

It was my second time, and I had a great time. I was a bit concerned about the price being on the higher side. The sea was beautiful, and the crew was very kind to us.

2回目でしたが、楽しかったです。
ちょっと値段がお高いのが気になりました。
海は綺麗だし、クルーの方が優しくしてくださいました。

We participated as a group of eight, including three small children, and the staff were very kind and accommodating to the kids. On the day of our visit, the water level was low, but both adults and children had plenty of fun snorkeling and with the Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). We also got to see sea turtles up close, which made the kids very happy—it was the best experience!

小さな子ども3人を含む８名での参加でしたが、スタッフが子供にも優しく対応して頂きました。当日腰下位の水位が有りましたが、シュノーケリングやSAPで大人も充分楽しめました。またホヌも近くで見られて子供も喜び最高でした。

I couldn’t ask for more and really had a fantastic time. Yoshi was very accommodating, we are a family of 4 and the experience was shared with another 2 people. A relatively small group, and the transport was super comfy, water and donuts was provided, and we had multiple stops prior to reaching the peak to allow us to get used to the elevation. Toilets are clean and oh my the view! Yoshi has a passion in astronomy and we learnt a lot from him during star gazing. He also brought chairs, blankets, hot water and even jackets to make sure we are warm. It is absolutely mind blowing to see the amount of stars that lit up… and best bit ? You felt like you are the only ones in there, we had a relatively quiet spot and the craters are spectacular. Our children 11 and 8 coped well with the excursion. I would join again if I’m back in Maui. Thank you for making the trip so memorable.

I had such an amazing time. Not only was the sandbar and the bay gorgeous, the crew were so incredibly kind, friendly and helpful!

The boat was comfortable, the captain was friendly and knowledgeable. We got a text in the morning saying that visibility was poor... and it was. We didn't see much. I don't feel like it was worth the price. Maybe a beverage, a snack or a little souvenir could have been included for the $50 we paid.

After a week in Hawaii, this one has proved to be the highlight of our trip. The boat ride was smooth and comfortable under the shade, especially later in the day. The captain and crew were so kind and helpful, one of the other passengers got seasick and they offered plenty of remedies (ginger candies‚ who knew). Shoutout to Jennifer and Bob who were great with the snorkeling and super knowledgeable about the fish and the area. If you are considering this tour do it!

We saw humpback whale was breathing from the upper deck. Captain and the crew did a great job to trace the whale after the first sight. Good experience and learned a lot about humpback whale.

Driving with a left-hand drive was thrilling, but there were videos with explanations in Japanese, which made me feel at ease✨ The local staff were friendly and fun, and there were photo spots along the way. Driving the buggy through the great outdoors was enjoyable. I rode with my parents in their 70s and my 7-year-old child, and we had a great time on the bumpy roads.

左ハンドルの運転でドキドキでしたが、日本語説明の映像もあり、安心✨
現地スタッフが親切で楽しく、所々写真スポットもあって、バギー運転も大自然を駆け巡り楽しいです。70代両親と子ども7歳と一緒に乗り、デコボコ道やかなり楽しんでました

I tried surfing for the first time this time. I'm almost 50 years old and usually don't exercise much, so I was worried, but I chose a group lesson. First, we watched a video with various precautions at the shop. Then we walked to the beach, where I practiced the basic movements repeatedly with the instructor, Mr. Yamazaki. During about an hour, I was able to ride the waves 7 to 8 times while learning the tips and timing for paddling. At first, my waist was too high, and I couldn't ride the waves for long, but I received advice to stand up slowly without rushing, which allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. I requested a drone video and photos during check-in (for $65 plus tax), and I was quite satisfied with the content, which was also well-received by my family.

今回初めてサーフィンにチャレンジしてみました。もうすぐ50歳で普段は運動不足気味なので心配でしたが、グループレッスンを選択。最初にショップで諸注意を含めたビデオを鑑賞。続いてビーチに徒歩で移動して、インストラクターのYamazakiさんと繰り返し基本動作を練習し、パドリングのコツやタイミングを教えてもらいながら約1時間の間に7〜8回波に乗れました。最初腰の位置が高くなり過ぎて、波に長く乗れずでしたが、焦らずゆっくり立ち上がるようにアドバイスをもらい、じっくり楽しめました。チェックインの際にドローン撮影ビデオ・写真（65ドルプラス税）を依頼しましたが、かなり満足できる内容で、家族にも好評でした。

It was a tour that successfully crossed Hanauma Bay while navigating around the reef during low tide in the morning. Unfortunately, the turtles couldn't come into view because the tide was too low. Instead, we were able to see many fish. We started after listening to Dan's easy-to-understand explanations. There was appropriate support for the children, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling while taking in the scenery.

午前中に最干潮が重なっていてリーフを迂回しながらうまくハナウマ湾を横断しながらのツアーでした。残念ながらカメは潮が低すぎるので、見える場所には入ってこれないそう。かわりに沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。ダンさんの分かりやすい説明を聞いてからスタート。子供たちには適宜サポートがあり、自分も景色を楽しみながらのスノーケルができました。

I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.

ロックアフラに参加出来てとても感激です。
最初のディナーは、ハワイローカルの美味しい料理を味わう事が出来て、良い体験でした。
また、ウクレレの生演奏やフラダンスも楽しめました。ショーの方は、多様な歌や踊り、楽器演奏があり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。どの演目も迫力があり、プロフェッショナルのエンターテイメントに体全体が震えました。こんなに素敵なショーが見れたことに感謝しています。ディナーのサーバーのおもてなしも大変素晴らしかったです。
このような素晴らしい機会を与えて頂いた事に感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

We had so much fun doing outrigger canoeing! Our instructor (sorry, don’t remember his name) was so nice. He was good at telling us what we needed to do when we needed to do it. On our first run, we were able to coast almost all the way to the beach. We went out and back I think 4 times. We did have some problems finding where we were supposed to go because the directions were a bit u clear. But we planned ahead and still got there on time. So glad we did this. We would to do it again next time we visit Kaua’i. I wouldn’t mind taking surfing lessons from our same instructor too. All in all, great time had by all.

I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.

When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.

イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。

雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。

Joined morning whale watching cruise by Star of Honolulu. The cruise started from detailed explanation of naturist, and my sons enjoyed listening to the facts about humpback whales before actually seeing it afterwards.
We saw the whale right after departing the port and captain maneuver the ship very well so that we could chase and see the whale several times. Unfortunately the whale was not so entertaining this time and we couldn’t see live actions like tail slap or bleaching.
Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.
Good to know they will give another chance for free if you cannot see whale during the cruise.
Great experience for winter Hawaii visit!

We participated at the request of my son, who is in the first year of junior high school.

There were about 20 participants, and we were the only Japanese. First, we headed to Diamond Head and fished at about four different spots. We were able to catch some fish, which made for great memories. We caught a magnificent fish about 40 centimeters long, and the staff grilled it for us, and it was delicious♪

I was worried about the lack of transportation, but it wasn't a problem. It took about 15 minutes by taxi from our hotel (Waikiki) to get there. On the way back, we walked to the nearby Ward Center to do some shopping, played at the arcade in the Ward Entertainment Center, and also stopped by the Whole Foods Market next door. I called Hanataxi (they speak Japanese) to pick us up from Whole Foods and take us back to the hotel.

I'm really glad we decided to participate. Thank you!

中1息子の希望で参加しました。

20人ほどの参加者で日本人は私たちだけでした。
まずダイヤモンドヘッドに向かいそこから4ヶ所ほどポイントを変えながら釣りをしました。
無事に釣れて良い思い出ができました。
40センチくらいの立派な魚で、スタッフさんがグリルしてくださりおいしくいただきました♪

送迎が無いのが心配でしたが問題ありませんでした。
行きはホテル(ワイキキ)からタクシーで15分ほど。
帰りはすぐ近くにあるワードセンターに徒歩で行き買い物をして、ワードエンターテイメントセンターのゲームセンターで遊び、隣にあるホールフーズマーケットにも寄りました。ハナタクシー(日本語でok)に電話してホールフーズに来てもらいホテルに戻りました。

思い切って参加して本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました

It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。

I participated with my 15-year-old and 12-year-old children. I was really looking forward to it and even changed our schedule after checking the business hours, but we were told that Kimo's was closed. We were directed to a nearby pancake place, but we had to go there on our own. Some lunch spots were also closed, and for lunch, we had to go and pick it up ourselves. Unfortunately, the pizza was just average. Other than the round-trip shuttle, we had to handle everything ourselves. Since the option for Kimo's was no longer available, we rented bikes, but riding right next to cars with rude drivers was particularly dangerous, especially with the kids.

15歳と12歳の子供と参加しました。一番楽しみにして、営業時間を確認して日程を変更したのにキモズが休みと言われ、近くのパンケーキを案内されたものの、各自で行ってくださいとのこと。ランチも空いてない店があり、そして、そのランチも各自で行ってピックアップということ。ピザも残念ながら普通。
往復シャトル以外は全て自分たちでどうぞということです。
オプションのキモズが無しになったのでレンタルバイクしましたが、車が走ってる真横、マナーのないドライバーの横を走るのは、特に子供とは危険でした。

A landscape experience that you can't enjoy in Japan! The instructor was also entertaining, and he took photos for us when we handed him the camera!

日本では味わえない風景体験！
インストラクターのお兄さんも楽しませてくれましたし、カメラを渡せば写真も撮ってもらえました！

great people great music, good vibes, a bit pricey but worth it. recommend
