Hawaii
- It was great to be able to drive while enjoying the magnificent scenery.
- The guide's explanations were in English, and I couldn't understand them very well, but I think it would have been more enjoyable if I had.
・雄大な景色を見ながら、走ること(運転)ができ、とてもよかったす。
・ガイドの説明は英語で、あまり理解ができなかったのですが、理解できたらより楽しいと思いました。
As seen on TV, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied!!! I thought the locals in Hawaii would start late, so I aimed to arrive right at the entrance time, but there was already a huge line, and I regretted not arriving a bit earlier.
I think sitting in the front would have made it even more impressive.
The buffet had mostly delicious food, and I was very satisfied! The seating was shared. The gentleman who guided us to our seats seemed to take into account our preferences, so it would have been nice to speak English to get a better seat. I can't speak it, though...
I chose this place after seeing reviews of other luaus that mentioned language issues, but since the basic communication and announcements were in English, I thought it might have been better to look for a spot outdoors by the beach! The show itself was very satisfying!
テレビとかで見る通り、大迫力で大変満足でした!!!
ハワイの人はスタートも遅いだろうと、入場時間ちょうどを目掛けて行きましたが、すでに大行列で
もう少し早く並べばよかったかなと後悔。
前の席だともっと大迫力だったと思います。
ビュッフェもほとんどが美味しいものばかりで
大満足です!
席は相席でした。
席を案内するおじさんが、起点を聞かせてくれるので、英語を話せるといい席に案内してくれるような感じでした。
私は話せませんが。。。
他のルアウのレビューを見て英語の問題でこちらにしましたが、
基本は英語での会話とアナウンス、案内になるので
屋外のビーチのところなどで探してもよかったかなぁと思いました!
ショー自体は大満足でした!
I had planned to experience traditional Hawaiian dance on a dinner cruise, but upon learning that there was also a rock show in a different genre, I signed up for this tour as well.
During the 90-minute dinner, they performed Hawaiian music and showcased dances.
Later, in the rock show, singers dressed as Elvis and Michael Jackson performed, creating a lively atmosphere that left me very satisfied.
As someone in my 20s, I’m not from the generation of Elvis or Michael Jackson, so I didn’t know many of the songs, but I was overwhelmed by their vocal and expressive abilities and had a great time.
ハワイの伝統舞踊はディナークルーズで体験する予定だったので、別ジャンルのロックショーもあるとしり、こちらのツアーも申し込みました。
90分のディナーではハワイアンミュージックを弾き語りしてくれたり、踊りも披露して頂きました。
またその後のロックショーでは、エルビスやマイケルジャクソンに扮した歌手等が歌を披露し、大盛り上がりで大変満足でした。
私は20代なので、エルビスもマイケルジャクソンも世代ではないため、曲はそれほどわかりませんでしたが、歌唱力と表現力に圧倒され良い時間を過ごせました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflor VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed everything. 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&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。全て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 had a great time snorkeling with two instructors in the beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay.
The sea was so stunning that I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time!
While joining a tour is certainly a good option for safety and peace of mind, if you are confident in your swimming skills and have checked the rules of Hanauma Bay in advance, I think considering longer tours or participating individually could be a good idea.
ハナウマ湾の綺麗な海で、お2人のインストラクターさんに指導していただき、とても楽しくシュノーケリングができました
あまりにも綺麗な海でしたので、もっと長時間シュノーケリングしたかった!というのも同時に思いました。
安全/安心を考慮するとツアー参加でもちろん良いと思いますが、泳ぎ・体力にも自信あり、ハナウマ湾のルールを事前に確認されている方であれば、長時間のツアーや個人での参加も視野に入れて良いかと思いました
We did snorkeling yesterday. Nick is very good. He is professional and very nice. The tour was exactly as prescribed. No boat ride required and it’s in lagoon which is perfect for my 9 year old son. He gets seasick easily. It’s perfect for beginners. I will definitely recommend.
I was nervous during my first zip line experience. A group of ten was accompanied by three staff members who kept everyone entertained while we cleared each section. The harness I wore was secure, which made me feel safe on the first try. Next, I think I’ll recommend it to my family and have them experience it too.
初めてのジップラインで、びくびくしました。10人一組で3人のスタッフが付き添いみんなを楽しませながら一つひとつクリアーしていきます。身に着けたハーネスがしっかりしていて1回目で安心できました。次は家族にも勧めて体験させようかと思います。
The guide was amazing! Very kind, spoke beautiful Japanese, and I felt safe while swimming. I definitely recommend it.
ガイドさん、最高!とても、親切、綺麗な日本語、泳いでいる最中も、安心していられた。絶対おすすめします。
Our tour guide Dan was extremely helpful and supportive when my husband struggled with snorkeling. He and his partner helped him and even swam with him to help him feel comfortable.
I appreciated knowing that we were in good hands and they made sure we were all safe while having a great time! Very knowledgeable, personable and helpful Guide. We had an amazing time and Checked snorkeling off our bucket list. It was an easy and fun way to experience this as we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and everything we needed was supplied.
Thank you for the good review! You guys did great, hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
KBOS was an amazing company to book with. We paid for the transportation, but if you plan to rent a car I would skip that part. It is a little tour bus and there are no bathrooms and no easy way to stop for restrooms. Just take your own car if you have one.
The experience itself was spectacular! The entire crew was super nice and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a good time.
The boat is huge- it is the largest boat at the end of the harbor area- you can’t miss it.
It has big tables with benches. Plenty of room for everyone. There are bathrooms on the boat and a room to change in. bring a towel with you if you think you might get cold. We went in bathing suits only and it was fine. A little chilly on the ride back in to shore, but not bad.
We paid for all the activities in advance and it was worth every penny. The banana boat ride was fun. I’m extremely overweight and I was still able to do the banana boat ride. They held the banana boat so I could easily get on and off.
The sandbar is beautiful! It is a must do experience and we loved it.
I would recommend water shoes, but some people didn’t have any and seemed to be fine.
The captain let us go up top and took a picture for us. Great view and perfect pic opportunity.
You can snorkel if you want- they have everything on the boat. We saw fish without snorkeling.
There is some music they play and it is really a nice way to spend some time. It is just the perfect amount of time to be out there too. Just enough time to do all the activities and enjoy the experience.
Bring snacks or drinks on the boat if you want. You can leave your bag and valuables right on the boat where you were seated. It seems super safe.
There is a little store at the harbor just before you get in the boat that sells alcohol and sunscreen and other items you may want.
The crew was super friendly and really tried to make it fun and make you feel welcome.
Bring tip money for the crew and for the band.
Mahalo for your review & sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
If you're considering this cruise I highly recommend you book it. The day we went out the weather wasn't the greatest however, the crew more than made up for that. They are fun, engaging and knowledgable. We had a blast the entire day. Lunch was really good and we had a very enjoyable time!
It was my husband's birthday and we wanted to do something special for him!
This celebration and event was perfect and one we will never forget. The staff, atmosphere, entertainment and food were all spectacular! We loved it and recommend everyone goes for an unforgettable, lovely evening!
Thank you so much!

If you want to take a break from the walking, shopping, and hotel hustle and bustle around Waikiki I suggest a sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu.
The five star experience on the top deck Nova Room is a relaxing evening filled with well-made bar drinks, superior cuisine, piano and mood music, and sparkling views of coastal O'ahu.
The Nova Room experience is a step above the normal pricing for the cruise, but is a good value for all you receive.
I especially enjoyed the time to talk and relax with my wife, to enjoy the coastal scenery, and to savor the various courses of the dinner as described in the promotional materials.
The service was excellent throughout the evening and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Nova Room experience on the forth deck of the Star of Honolulu.
It was a great learning experience to enjoy nature while taking care of it. I was able to see a lot of fish, which was fantastic. I'm glad I joined the tour since general admission is reservation-based and can get crowded.
自然を大切にしながら自然を楽しむ勉強になりました。魚もたくさん見れて最高でした。一般の入場が予約制で混雑するのでツアーに参加して良かったです。
I participated for the first time.
The diamond bed from the sky was amazing.
There was no wind, and the clear weather felt great.
初めて参加しました。
のんびりと空からのダイヤモンドベットは最高でした。
風も無く晴天で気持ち良かったです。
I had a great time getting soaked at the front of the boat in the ocean. It was so much fun! Also, the movie location tour was great because I got to see various places.
オーシャンで船の先に捕まり波を受けてずぶ濡れになって楽しみました。最高に楽しかったです。あと映画ロケ地巡りツアーはいろいろ見れてよかったです。
Had an amazing time with Captain Bruce on the Kaneohe sand bar cruise! From the get-go, Jeff, Josiah, and Karen were super kind and welcoming, making sure everyone on board felt at ease. They had snacks and drinks ready for us, which was a nice touch.
One of the highlights for me was definitely swimming with the turtles. It’s not every day you get to do that! And I’ve got to give a special shoutout to Karen. She was a real star, especially with my mom who's a bit uneasy in the water. Karen made sure she felt safe and enjoyed her snorkeling experience. Plus, the way she helped us retrieve my dad's forgotten sunglasses turned into a hilarious moment we all shared.
This trip is a must-do for families looking for a fun and memorable day out on the water. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with them. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!
Aloha Joseph, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce for your family trip, and for sharing this review! We appreciate your recognition of Jeff, Josiah, and Karen. Their attentiveness and welcoming demeanor are hallmarks of our exceptional crew, and we are grateful for their dedication to ensuring every guest feels comfortable and enjoys their time on the water. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone, especially Karen!
Again, thank you so much for recommending our tour.
We look forward to welcoming you back aboard for another exceptional adventure in the future. A hui hou
My group loves this activity. We booked the ATV package with shuttle, which is the convenience. The shuttle bus was on time, make sure you should be 10-15 minutes early.
The shuttle bus is comfortable and clean with recliner chairs, food rest, and good AC. We were dropped off an hour prior our tour, so we can have some food at the cafe.
The tour guides gave us the clear instruction and they made sure we followed them. It is slightly more than 2-hour tour as it was raining and windy. *** We under forecasted the weather, so we were cold and soaking wet. Please make sure to gear up jackets and raincoats. *** Anyways, it was so fun and adventurous.
The experience from the shuttle pick up/drop off to guidance and snorkeling are exceptional and amazing. We experienced as it detailed on the booking website.
After booking, I received the picture of the pickup location which is easy to find. Keep your eye to find the shuttle van, he parked across the street when there were 3 coach bus parked in front of the entrance. The van showed up on time and could fit up to 14 people. The van is clean, comfortable seating, and good AC. The driver introduced the Electric Beach and talked about the places.
After dropping off, the driver introduced Jose and Jorge who were the snorkeling guides. They are very friendly and acknowledged. One of my friend did not confident to swim in the ocean, but she trusted Jose and went to the water with us. Jose and Jorge made sure everyone stick together under their guidance. All the gears (snorkeling masks, fins, life jackets, jet machines) were provided. Jorge had his GoPro to record the fun moment and shared to us at the end.
My group loves this experience as many of us had no swimming experience but Jose and Jorge made it easy, fun, and safe.
We had the best day!!! From the beautiful weather, the calm kayak conditions, the lush hiking environment, the spectacular falls and our amazing guide Justice, we could not have had a better experience. Justice was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable, funny (dad jokes lol), patient and an overall great guide who thoroughly enjoys what he does.
As novice kayakers, we had no issues but the river was very calm with very little wind.
As intermediate hikers we found the trail fairly easy to navigate as long as we were mindful on the rocks and roots. On the hike, you WILL get muddy and you WILL get wet crossing 4 streams and 1 river but it’s all worth it once you reach the breathtaking falls.
The lunch supplied by the tour was pretty good too as we picnicked at the falls.
Hiking shoes/sandals or running shoes are best. For anyone with mobility issues, they may find parts of the hike difficult.
We would highly recommend this tour as it was the highlight of our time on Kauai!!
Aloha Becky/John,
Kudos….for a wonderful review that give folks a good idea of what to expect and what to bring.
We are fond of saying, "embrace the mud" and be ready for a fun, safe and informative outing with great guides such as Justice.
Thanks for taking the time to share.
Stay well and active and hope to see you back or on our other tours.
A hui hou,
Micco
PS Thanks for sharing this same review on Trip Advisor.
Yoshi is a wonderful passionate guide. I can not say enough about our sunset and stargazing experience. Yoshi not only loves what he does but shared that excitement with all of us on the tour. Our tour ended up just being our family of 5 (ages 73, 60, 31, 30 and 29). The knowledge and laughter Yoshi shared with us along with his special spot for viewing was absolutely amazing. He also shared donuts, hot tea/coffee, blankets, chairs and coats. This was welcomed as the temperature dips after the sun goes down (even for Buffalo, NY natives). The stargazing we did with his telescopes and the knowledge he shared of how to take some very interesting photos was wonderful. I would not only recommend this tour to all but will take it again if I find myself in Maui again.
Thank you Yoshi for such a memorable family experience.
We boarded a boat and landed on the sandbar. It was a strange sensation to be in the middle of the ocean yet find sand beneath us. It was a bit chilly during this time.
船に乗って、サンドバーに上陸。
海のど真ん中なのに、サンドがある不思議な感覚を味わえました。この時期は少し寒かった。
Thank you for choosing the Captain Bruce's Paradise Sea Tour from among the many optional tours available. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to experience the mysterious and captivating beauty of the sandbar. All of our staff look forward to your next participation!
この度は数あるオプショナルツアーの中よりキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーをお選び頂きましてありがとうございました。サンドバーの不思議でとても魅力的な姿を体験して頂けたようで大変嬉しく思います。スタッフ一同、またのご参加をお待ちしております!
Great fun time, staff very friendly and helpful. Kid friendly
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
In Japan, horseback riding experiences usually last about 10 to 20 minutes, but here you can enjoy a longer ride! You can bring items like your phone or a plastic bottle. If you have a bag that you can attach to your waist, it's also okay to bring that.
The local staff seemed to speak some simple Japanese, and they kindly said things like, "Sister, hold the reins." They were very nice. The horses looked calm, so I didn't feel scared at all. I had a great time experiencing this that day! Thank you very much!
I forgot about the tip... I had put my wallet in the locker, and the staff member who helped me went off to her next job quickly, so I couldn't give it in the end. It might be a good idea to keep some cash for tips in your pocket. That way, you can hand it over smoothly after the horseback riding experience.
Experiencing horseback riding in such a beautiful setting has truly become a wonderful memory! If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend signing up. I think it will become a lovely memory! ♡
日本では10〜20分程度の乗馬体験が多いですが、ここは時間たっぷり乗馬が体験できます!!携帯、ペットボトル位であれば持ち込み可。腰につけるタイプのカバンなら持ち込んでもOKでした。
現地のスタッフさんは簡単な日本語を話せるみたいで「オネエサン、タヅナヒイテ」等声をかけてくれました。とっても優しかったです。馬も穏やかそうで怖い思いはしませんでした。この日は楽しく体験することができました!ありがとうございました!!
チップの事を忘れてしまっていて…財布はロッカーにいれちゃったし担当してくれたお姉さんはすぐ次のお仕事に行っちゃったしで…結局渡せませんでした。自分のポケットにチップ分のお札をいれておくといいかもしれません。そしたら乗馬体験が終わったらスマートに渡せると思います。
最高な景色の中で乗馬を体験できるのは本当にいい思い出になりました!迷ってる方はぜひ申し込んでみてください。素敵な思い出になると思います♡
Really happy with the experience, my son and I loved it. He is a comfortable swimmer, while I just started learning a month ago. He felt comfortable enough to snorkel without holding onto the buoy used by our guide, while I did not yet. It was a perfect introduction to snorkeling in a safe environment.
From start to finish the crew is extremely helpful, and fun! This is the best zip line experience I have ever had, definitely book this for your trip!
Great 1st impression in Hawaii! It was so welcoming!! Friendly, helped us get where we needed to go for rental car.
Aloha Brenda! Thank you for your review of Jenna! She is one of our newest staff members, and she brings up the sweetest vibes. We are glad she was able to assist you to where you needed to go, and we hope you had a wonderful stay on the island~ Mahalo Nui Loa!
There are Japanese staff members, and there are videos and explanations available for Japanese visitors, so it's reassuring! The horseback riding experience goes by in just two hours. It seems that the speed and course can vary depending on the horse's mood that day, so for those who absolutely want to see the filming of the movie, I recommend the bus tour or the buggy ride. It was great to enjoy the beautiful scenery and experience something out of the ordinary, but my knees and back... haha, just a heads up that it will catch up with you later. I would love to experience it again if I have the chance! ^_^
日本人スタッフの方がいたり、日本の方向けにビデオや説明書きがあるので安心です!
乗馬体験は2時間あっという間です。お馬さんのご機嫌でスピードやその日によってコースが違うようなので、映画の撮影を絶対に見たい!という方にはバスのツアーやバギーの方がおすすめです。
綺麗な景色をみて非日常感を味わえてよかったのですが、膝と腰が…笑 後々きますのでご注意ください。機会があればまた体験したいです^_^
My first experience with the four-wheel buggy at Kualoa Ranch was worth every penny, and I was very satisfied. The check-in was smooth, and the briefing started on time. The local staff who assisted us were friendly. Kualoa Ranch itself has a vast area, so driving the buggy while enjoying the pleasant breeze and scenery was a lot of fun. During the two-hour experience, we stopped the buggy three times to get off and take photos, and listening to the history of the land in Hawaii made it very fulfilling.
初めてのクアロアランチでの四輪バギー体験はお値段以上でとても大満足でした。チェックインもスムーズで時間通りに説明も始まりました。担当して下さった現地のスタッフさんもフレンドリーでした。クアロアランチ自体が広大な土地を持っているので四輪バギーをひたすら運転して心地よい風と景色でとても楽しかったです。2時間の中に3回のみバギーを停めて降りて写真撮影ができたり、ハワイの土地の歴史の説明を聞いたらとても大満足でした。
I traveled to Hawaii with my 7-year-old daughter. She wanted to see a show in Hawaii, so we participated in this one. It was a bit windy on the rooftop, but we enjoyed the food and drinks. We chose the primary seat, and it was the right decision! We were guided to our seats first, and we could also get our food ahead of others. It was a relief for us with a child, as there was little waiting time. The restrooms were conveniently located inside the building, so we could step out during the show and return quickly, allowing us to fully enjoy the performance. The fire show in the front row was incredibly impressive! We were both very satisfied.
7歳娘との2人旅でのハワイでした。娘がハワイのショーを見てみたいとのことで、こちらに参加しました。屋上で少し風が強い日でしたが、料理や飲み物も楽しめました。primary seatにしましたが、正解!優先的に席に誘導してもらえ、料理も優先的に取りに行けました。子連れには待ち時間が少なくて助かりました。お手洗いも建物の中にすぐあるのでショーの途中離席してもすぐ戻れてショーを存分に楽しめました。最前列のファイヤーショーは迫力満点!親子で大満足でした。
It was my first time on a boat in the ocean. The captain and crew were attentive and friendly.
