All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

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

Since it was a tour just for transportation, I participated in a tour without Japanese language support. There were no issues as a result. I was able to return around noon, so I had a meaningful day!

送迎だけのツアーなので日本語なしのツアーに参加しました。結果問題なしです。
昼ぐらいには帰ってこれますので一日有意義に過ごせました！

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

Although it was from a distance, I was really satisfied to see a whale for the first time.

There were several whale watching boats, but I think it was a good choice to select the Star of Honolulu, as the smaller boats tend to sway quite a bit.

遠目ではありましたが初めてクジラを見れてすごく満足でした


数隻ホエールウォッチングの船がありましたが小さい船は結構揺れるのでスターオブホノルル号を選択して良かったと思いました。

I went for the first time and was very satisfied!
The guide spoke Japanese, so I felt very secure participating in the tour!
There were many types of slides, and the kids were delighted!

初めて行ってきまし、とても満足しました！
案内の方が日本語が話せるので、とても安心してツアーに参加する事が出来ました！
スライダーの種類も沢山あり、子供達も喜んでいました！

We participated as a family of four, including our 7-year-old and 12-year-old children. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but before we even left the harbor, the other passengers started getting seasick one after another. It turned into a situation where some passengers were vomiting inside the boat due to motion sickness. The staff tried their best to lift the mood, but the energy among the other members plummeted, and eventually, the kids also started feeling queasy and expressed a desire to go home early. Fortunately, we managed to get some air while returning to port. It might not be advisable to do this on days with strong swells.

7歳と12歳の子供含めて家族4人で参加しました。事前に酔い止めを服用しての参加でしたが、港を出て沖に出る前に同乗していた方々が次々に酔ってしまい、同乗者達が波酔いで船内で吐いたりしてるなかでの催行となりました。スタッフたちはなんとか盛り上げようとしてくれましたが、他のメンバーはテンションがダダ下がり、次第に子供達ももらい酔いして早く帰りたいと言い出すほどでした。帰港しながらなんとか空に上がる事ができたのが不幸中の幸いでした。余りうねりが強い日にやるものではないかもしれません。

Wonderful place to visit. Loved learning and hearing the different Polynesian cultures, the live interaction for each islands. The buffet was awesome and the breath of life show was exceptional, I would definitely visit again.

The reservations are easy - and complete. I was still recuperating from a surgery, so we secured a mobility cart, which is right at the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The bus picks up from several points in Waikiki; it is comfortable and also waiting right at the entrance-exit after the show is over. The day is extraordinary - the staff is so friendly and helpful, as we asked questions at the various Islands. There is a river cruise you can take - the Center is 40 square miles (think Disneyland) so prepare your walking shoes and attire accordingly. Terrific shopping before the Center actually opens. Take a poncho, because there is a lot of rain on that side of the island - rains quickly, dries quickly.

The buffet is amazing and delicious, and a real bargain if you're feeding starving teens! The show is exquisite. They help park the mobility cart everywhere, so if you have mobility issues - worry not!

Enjoy as much as we did!

I was able to snorkel while holding the hands of my inexperienced children, which made the parents feel at ease.

Even in the shallow waters, we were able to see many vibrant fish and had a wonderful time!

There was a seal lounging on the beach, which seemed to be quite a rare sight, so we were lucky!

The guiding couple was very friendly, taking photos for us and providing detailed explanations, which was great.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to request their services once more.

不慣れな子供達の手を引きながらシュノーケルしていただいたので、親も安心しました。

浅瀬でも、たくさんの鮮やかな魚が見られてとても良い時間が過ごせました！

砂浜にアザラシが寝そべっていて、かなりレアケースだったみたいでラッキーでした！

ガイドの夫妻は、とても気さくな方で、写真を撮ってくださったり、細やかな説明などもしていただき良かったです。

ハワイに行くことがあれば、またお願いしたいです。

This tour was absolutely amazing and so fun. Corey was one of my guides and he was absolutely fantastic. Whoever the girl was that was leading us with him in the back of the group on 3/24/23 at 2:45pm was very stale and honestly seemed like she’d rather be doing something else. She wasn’t very exciting but Corey was!

I signed up for the session on Sunday at 9:00 AM (meeting at 8:30 AM).

【About Transportation】
- Since it was mentioned in the introduction that it takes 90 minutes from Waikiki, I caught an Uber after 7:00 AM, but it seems that Sunday mornings are less busy, and I arrived in just an hour.
- There was no one at the check-in location, and the Uber driver, seeing a sign that said "If no one is here, please call this number," kindly made a call, but the staff did not arrive immediately and showed up only after the meeting time. From this, I think it’s not necessary to arrive before the meeting time, just like in Japan, although it may depend on the day and circumstances.

【About the Experience】
- It was interesting to enjoy both mountain and ocean views. At the end of the horseback riding, they took a few pictures with my phone. I appreciated being able to feed the horses and interact with them after the experience.
- However, the horseback riding itself was only about an hour, and including explanations, it lasted 1.5 hours. I chose this experience thinking it would be 1.5 hours of riding, so that was a bit disappointing.
- On this day, everyone except me was a native speaker, and all explanations were in English. During the horseback riding experience, we enjoyed conversations in groups centered around the instructor.

【Other Notes】
- It might be good to wear long sleeves in the morning as it can be cold on the mountain side.
- A hat is not necessary, but I think sunglasses would be helpful as it can be bright.
- If you are uncomfortable touching the reins with bare hands, it might be a good idea to bring work gloves.
- Tips were given in a box.
- After horseback riding, I took an Uber to Haleiwa, enjoyed some food and shopping, and then returned home by The Bus. For those who are not driving, I recommend taking an Uber for the outgoing trip, which is more predictable, and then using The Bus for the return trip to save a bit.

日曜日9時（8:30集合）の回を申し込みました。

【移動について】
・紹介文などにワイキキから90分かかると記載されていたため7時過ぎにUberを捕まえて向かいましたが、日曜朝は空いているのか1時間で着きました。
・チェックイン場所に誰一人おらず、「誰もいなければここに電話するように」と書かれた看板を見たUberの運転手さんが心配に思ったのか、電話をかけてくださいましたが、スタッフはすぐ来ることはなく、集合時間になってから来られました。
これらから、もちろん曜日やその時の状況によるとは思いますが、日本と同じように集合時間前に着くようにくる必要はないです。

【体験について】
・山と海の景色両方を楽しめるのは面白かったです。乗馬終盤には、自分の携帯で写真を数枚撮ってくれます。体験後に餌付けをさせてもらい、馬と触れ合えたのがよかったです。
・ただ、乗馬体験自体は1時間程度で、説明なども含めて1.5時間でした。当方は乗馬が1.5時間できるものだと思いこちらの体験を選んだので、それだけは残念でした。
・この日は当方以外は全員ネイティブで、説明も全て英語でした。乗馬体験中もインストラクターを中心に、グループごとでの会話を楽しみました。

【その他】
・山側が朝は寒いので長袖でも良いかもしれません。
・帽子は不要ですが、眩しいのでサングラスはあったほうが良いと思います。
・手綱を素手で触るのに抵抗がある方は、軍手を持っていってもいいかもしれません。
・チップはボックスに入れる形式でした。
・乗馬後はUberでハレイワまで向かい、食事やショッピングを楽しんだ後The Busで帰宅しました。運転をしない方は、行きは時間の読めるUberで行き、帰りはThe Busで行くと少し節約になるのでオススメです。

I was a bit disappointed because there were hardly any fish. The scenery is beautiful and the water is clear. However, if you're expecting to see a lot of fish at Hanauma Bay, it doesn't make sense to go since there are almost none. There may have been many in the past, but now...

Waiting for a long time to enter and paying a high admission fee just to catch a glimpse of a few fish here and there isn't worth it. The rental equipment is clean, even if it's reused, and the driver was nice. However, being crammed into a car with other guests isn't comfortable, and if there are no fish to see, it raises the question of the tour's value. I think the decrease in tours to Hanauma Bay is due to its diminishing appeal. Still, I believe it's great that such tours exist for those who really want to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

少しがっかりなのは、ずばり魚がほとんどいないから。
風光明媚でお水も綺麗。
でもハナウマ湾にはたくさんのお魚を期待していくのであれば、お魚がほぼいないので、行く意味がずれます。
昔はたくさんいたのでしょうが、今は…。
ちらほらたまに見かける程度のお魚をちらっと見るために、長時間入場を待たされ、高い入場料は払い、というのは見合いません。
レンタル品は使いまわしとはいえ清潔感もあり、ドライバーさんも良い方。
でもゲストがギュウギュウに詰められた車は居心地は良くなく、お目当てのお魚がいないのであれば参加意義は？となってしまいそうです。
ハナウマ湾のツアーが減っているのは、魅力が減ってきてるからだと思いました。
それでもどうしてもハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたい方のために、こういったツアーがあるのはありがたいのだと思います。

Others have mentioned it as well, but I thought it was a great tour where you could experience various activities if the weather was nice, so I took a chance and signed up. However, the seawater temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it feel like a punishment despite the high cost. I was really disappointed. There were no sandbars either.

他の方も書かれていましたが気候に恵まれたら色々体験出来るお得なツアーだなぁと、一か八かで申し込みました。が海水温が低く、風が強くて高額だったのにバツゲームみたいでしたガッカリ。砂洲はありませんでした

We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a couple. The weather was perfect, and we were able to enjoy the best sandbar and snorkeling experience.

There were staff members who spoke Japanese fluently, which made us feel at ease.

One point that concerned us was that there was no mention of tips in the tour details, and we only brought minimal valuables. On the day of the tour, just before leaving, the staff announced about tipping, and since we didn't have any cash, we felt a bit guilty as we just passed it by. I recommend bringing at least a little cash with you.

初めてサンドバーツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、最高のサンドバー&シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。

日本語がバリバリ話せるスタッフもおり、安心して楽しめます。

ひとつ気になった点として、、
ツアーの詳細内にはチップに関する記載がなく、貴重品も最低限しか持って行かなかったのですが、
当日帰り際にスタッフの方からチップに関するアナウンスがあり、現金を持って行かなかった私たちは少し申し訳なさを感じながらそのままスルーする形となりました。
少しだけでも現金を持って行くことをオススメします。

I participated with my 7-year-old and 12-year-old children. We were all very excited while exploring the movie filming locations amidst the beautiful scenery, especially during the ups and downs and when crossing the river. After it ended, we looked at each other in surprise. Since there is a lot of dust, it might be better to take precautions before participating.

7歳と12歳の子供たちと参加しました。美しい景色が広がるなか映画ロケ地を巡りながら、アップダウンや川を渡る際には皆んな大興奮でした。終わってから顔を見合わせてビックリ。砂埃がすごいので対策して参加した方が良いかもしれません。

I chose this tour as a relatively inexpensive way to get to Hanauma, which has become difficult to access individually due to the lack of bus services and difficulty in making reservations.

Although the guide did not speak any Japanese, as long as you confirm the departure location and time from Hanauma, you'll be fine. Before arriving at Hanauma, we made a stop at a scenic viewpoint where we collected the entrance fee of $25 per person.

After that, we lined up until the designated entrance time, received snorkeling gear, and the guide informed us of the meeting location and time before leaving. A representative from the participants paid the entrance fees for everyone, and after a brief explanation of Hanauma and an 8-minute video, we were free to explore until we disbanded.

We enjoyed snorkeling and saw a lot of fish in the rocky areas. If you understand even a little English, this tour is very fulfilling to participate in.

なかなか予約も取れず、バスもない、個人では行き難くなったハナウマに比較的安く行く方法として、このツアーを選びました。
全く日本語は通じないガイドさんの送迎ツアーですが、ハナウマからの出発場所と時間さえしっかり確認しておけば、大丈夫です。
ハナウマ到着前に見晴らしの良い場所で途中下車した際に、ハナウマ入場料$25/人を集めました。
その後指定されたハナウマ入場時間迄並び、シュノーケル用具を渡され、そこでガイドは集合場所と時間を伝えて一旦帰りました。参加者代表の人が全員分の入場料を支払い入場、ハナウマ利用説明と8分間のビデオ視聴のあと各自解散まで自由に行動しました。
私達はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。岩のある場所では本当に沢山の魚が見られました。
少しでも英語が解るなら、充実に参加可能なツアーでした。

Bjorn was knowledgeable, funny, well prepared and very patient. We had a very memorable day!!

Amazing ride. Our tour guide Chauncey was great. Great conversation and great views.

I had been curious about this activity for a while since it was featured in several TV programs, and everyone who watched it said, "It was fun!" I participated with another adult woman, but as mentioned in previous reviews, the minimum number of participants is "three," so we paid for three people to join. With fewer participants, a staff member will accompany you to paddle together.

Before we started, I was a bit anxious, but once we got into the canoe, all my worries disappeared. We all paddled hard out to sea, waited for good waves, and when the right wave came, we paddled hard again to start! The thrill of the canoe riding the waves was amazing! I felt like I understood why surfers get so caught up in the waves. We managed to ride the waves three times.

Next time I visit Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this activity!

いくつかのTV番組などで紹介されていて、どれを見ても「面白かった！」との感想だったので、前々から気になっていたアクティビティでした。
大人な年齢の女性二人で参加したのですが、前のクチコミの方がおっしゃっていたように、最低申込人数が「三人」となっているので、三人分の料金を払って参加しました。少ない参加人数だと、ちゃんと後ろに一緒に漕いでくれるスタッフの方が付いてくれます。
始まる前は少々不安でしたが、いざ、カヌーに乗り込んでしまえばそんな不安は吹っ飛びました。沖の方までみんなで一生懸命にカヌーをこいで、沖で良い波を待ち、乗れる波が来たら、再び一生懸命前に漕いでスタート！
カヌーが波に乗って走る疾走感！！最高でした。サーファーの方たちの波に夢中になる気持ちがわかったような気がしました。三回、波に乗れました。
次回、ハワイを訪れたら、絶対リピート、決定です。

On the day of arrival, I went straight from the airport. Since we had to change into swimsuits for the gathering, I changed in the airport restroom. It's very close to Hilton Waikiki.

We put on life jackets and boarded a small boat to depart. One group at a time was lifted up, and we were in the air for a little over five minutes. The view of Diamond Head and the town was beautiful.

The whole experience lasted about an hour, but be careful as I got sunburned on my thighs because I didn't apply sunscreen there. Also, the boat was small and rocked quite a bit; my friend got very seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, so it might be a good idea to take stronger medicine. Due to the rocking, it's easy to get splashed, so I think it's better to have your smartphone in a waterproof case. By the way, it would be good to check if photos come out well, including selfies, while in the waterproof case, as you can take nice pictures in the air. Mine turned out a bit dark!

You will change into swimsuits again, but you won't get completely soaked; it's just your backside that gets a little wet when you come down!

到着日に空港から直行しました。
水着に着替えて集合だったので、空港のトイレで着替えて行きました。ヒルトンワイキキのすぐ近くです。
ライフジャケットを着て、小さめの船に乗り出発しました。一組ずつ上げてもらい、５分強ほど上空でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドや町がよく見えてきれいでした。
全体で1時間ほどでしたが、太ももに日焼け止めを塗らずにいたらしっかり焼けたので気をつけてください。また船が小さくかなり揺れて、友人は酔い止めを飲んでいてもかなり酔っていたので、強めの薬を飲むなど対策するといいかもしれません。揺れもあって、水がかかりやすいのでスマホは防水カバーしたほうがいいと思います。ちなみに防水カバーした状態でインカメ含め写真がきれいに映るか確認したほうが、上空でいい写真が撮れるかと思います。私は少し暗い写りになってしまいました！
また水着に着替えますが、がっつり濡れるというよりは、降りてくる時にお尻だけ濡れる程度です！

There was a female staff member who spoke Japanese fluently. The briefing before boarding was perfect, but after boarding, she gave off a vibe that made it difficult to approach her, so I couldn't ask any questions. She was smiling and engaging with participants from other countries, but she didn't even smile at us. I wouldn't recommend this to Japanese people. However, all the other staff members were very kind.

日本語を流暢に話す女性のスタッフがいました。乗船前の説明は完璧でしたが、乗船後は話しかけにくい雰囲気を出していて質問があっても聞けませんでした。他の国の参加者には笑顔で自ら話しかけていましたが、私達には笑顔さえ向けてくれませんでした。私は日本人にはおすすめしません。他のスタッフの皆さんはとても親切でした。

Although it was only in English, the staff greeted us with smiles and used easy-to-understand words, so there was no problem.

The snorkeling equipment was also clean, and we had a great time. Thank you! ♪

英語のみでしたが、スタッフさんはわかりやすい単語で笑顔で接してくださいましたので、問題ありませんでした。

シュノーケリングの道具なども綺麗で、とても楽しめました。
ありがとうございました♪

I searched for the meeting place, but there was a person in a yellow shirt, so it wasn't a confusing location. It's a hotel just before Waikiki, so I arrived quickly. I will use it again next time.

待ち合わせ場所を探しましたが黄色いシャツの人がいて迷うような場所ではないです。ワイキキの手前のホテルなのですぐに到着しました。次も使います。

I was flustered because I arrived late, but when I got to the hotel, the driver looked apologetic for being delayed due to traffic. He took me close to the airline counter. Considering the price, I will use this service again.

遅れてきたので焦りましたが、ホテル前に来て、渋滞で遅れたとドライバーはすまなそうにしていました。航空会社のカウンター近くまで運んでくれました。値段を考えると次も利用します。

We had a wonderful time! We were super lucky to see a lot of dolphins and whales. It was for sure a once in a lifetime adventure. The entire crew was awesome! Thank you so much!

It was much colder than I expected, and I couldn't stay in for even 30 minutes. But I was glad to see a lot of fish. I was also happy to see a whale.

思っていたよりとても寒くて３０分も入っていられませんでした。でもたくさん魚がみれて良かったです。クジラもみれて良かったです

Had a great time. The lady was so kind to me and concerned when I feel off the Atv. I'm okay and I will absolutely do it again at your establishment. it was so informative about the history of the island, and it is a beautiful place. Thank you for showing me and my group and nice experience.

A fabulous way to travel the whole island and learn about the history and culture. Our guide was local and so knowledgeable and friendly! The views were spectacular!! Communication from the company was easy to follow and navigate. I would highly recommend this company and tour :-)

The views were awesome and the crew were outstanding. IThe Ziplines were exciting and thrilling. They made the experience lots of fun. I would definitely do it again.

Tickets for the show only. The seats were towards the back, but it was still possible to enjoy the performance. After the hula dance, there was an Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson show. There was also a fire dance, and the audience from the West was really into it.

ショーだけのチケット。席は中間より後方でしたが、十分に鑑賞できます。
フラダンスのあとは、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンショー。
ファイヤーダンスもあり、欧米の観客のかたもノリノリでした。
