Hawaii
I used this service to transfer from the airport to the hotel. I was worried because it took longer than expected to go through immigration due to the holiday rush and the fully booked flights, but I quickly spotted the shuttle buses lined up right outside the exit, with plenty of staff in yellow uniforms. The driver also drove safely and handled my luggage with care. I would like to use this service again when I visit Hawaii.
空港からホテルへの移動で利用しました。
連休で飛行機も満席だったため、入国に思いのほか時間がかかったため心配しましたが、出口を出たところに送迎のバスがたくさん停まっていたところで、黄色の服を着たスタッフが沢山いたのすぐに分かりました。
ドライバーさんも安全運転で荷物を丁寧に扱ってくださいました。
ハワイにいった時はまた利用したいです

My wife, my nephew, and I participated together. We drove to the store with a rental car, and there was parking available right in front of the store. As soon as we started practicing, my wife and I, having done this six times before, got the hang of it quickly, and then it was my nephew's turn, who was riding a Segway for the first time! Thanks to the guide's precise advice and thorough explanations, he was riding smoothly in just a few minutes. After that, some older participants were practicing as well, and they managed to ride quite quickly too. Once the practice was over, we started the ride in the order of the guide leading, followed by the older participants, my nephew, my wife, and then me! Riding the Segway felt amazing with the wind in our faces! The guide also took photos at key points, which made my nephew very happy. Finally, we had some free riding time at Kaka'ako Waterfront Park, which was also a lot of fun! However, I was worried because rain clouds were approaching from the Manoa area, and eventually, it started to rain. It wasn't heavy enough to need ponchos, but it looked like it might pour, and with the strong wind, it got cold, so we decided to retreat. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't take our time returning, but even so, riding the Segway was fantastic! My nephew, who usually doesn't show much emotion, said he wanted to ride again next time!! He seemed to have a lot of fun. In addition to the joy of riding the Segway, we enjoyed the guide's sightseeing information and friendly, attentive service throughout the ride. Thank you very much for everything, including the parking situation after the tour. I went to the store to express my gratitude, but they were not there, so I wanted to take this opportunity to convey my thanks.
私と妻、甥の3人で参加。
店にはレンタカーで行きましたが店の前に駐車場もありました。
練習を始めてすぐに私と妻はセグウェイ自体は6回目なのですぐにOKが出て次は初セグウェイの甥！
それでもガイドさんの的確なアドバイスと丁寧な説明でものの数分でスイスイと乗れていました。
その後、少し年配の方も練習していましたが結構短時間で乗れていました。
練習が終わるとガイドさんを先頭に年配の方、甥、妻、私の順にライド開始！
セグウェイで走ると風がめちゃくちゃ気持ちいい！！
要所要所で撮影もしてくれて甥も喜んでいました。
最後にカカアコウォーターフロントパークの広場で自由ライド！
これもまた楽しいのです♪
が、マノア方面から雨雲が近づいて来ていたので心配していたのですがとうとう降って来ました。
ポンチョを着るほどの雨ではなかったものの強く振りそうなのと風が強く寒くなって来たので撤退です。
ゆっくりと帰れなかったのは少し残念でしたがそれを差し引いてもやはりセグウェイは最高です！
普段あまり感情を出さない甥も次もまた乗りたい！！
とかなり楽しかったようです。
セグウェイの楽しさに加え、ガイドさんのライド中の観光案内や丁寧かつフレンドリーな対応で尚更楽しめました。
ツアー後の駐車場の件も含め、この度は本当にありがとうございました。
お礼をいいに店に行きましたが不在でしたのでこの場をお借りして伝えさせていただきます。
Thank you for choosing Segway of Hawaii - Kaka'ako for one of your activities in Waikiki. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time with our tour guide on the magical Magic Island Beach glide, and that your nephew had a great first Segway experience. Gliding through the beach parks in the city is truly special, especially along the seaside promenade of Kaka'ako Waterfront Park and while taking in the stunning views of Oahu's North Shore from the top of the hill. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to the island. The Segway of Hawaii Team
ワイキキでのアクティビティの 1 つにセグウェイ オブ ハワイ - カカアコをお選びいただきありがとうございます。魔法のようなマジック アイランド ビーチ グライドでのツアー ガイドとの時間をお楽しみいただき、甥っ子も初めてのセグウェイ体験を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。市内のビーチパークを滑空するのはとても特別なことです。特にカカアコ ウォーターフロント パークの海沿いの遊歩道や、オアフ島ノースショアの素晴らしい景色を眺めながら丘の頂上まで滑空するのは格別です。
次回の島訪問の際には、またのご乗船を心よりお待ちしております。The Segway of Hawaii Team

The immigration area was quite crowded, and I ended up being late for the meeting point, but thanks to the staff from Roberts Hawaii who showed me where the shuttle was, I was able to board. I'm grateful for that.
イミグレがかなり混雑しており、集合予定に遅れてしまいましたが別便のロバーツハワイの方がシャトルの場所を教えてくれたおかげでなんとか乗車することが出来ました。感謝です。

I think the small number of passengers, just six, contributed to the experience, but we were able to enjoy a long sailing time. The crew was also very friendly. I've also sailed in Ala Moana, but the Hawaiian sailing from Hilton is better.
乗組の客数が、６人と少なかったこともあると思いますが、長い時間セーリングさせてもらえました。
クルーの方も親切でした。
アラモアナの方でもセーリングしたことありますが、ヒルトンの方のハワイアンセーリングが、良いですね

Great staff! Very enjoyable adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sightseeing
I was using Uber to get around, but I decided to join a tour for sightseeing in Haleiwa and horseback riding. It turned out to be a great decision. Our guide was Japanese, providing attentive guidance and care that really hit the mark. Thank you, Arai! I wanted to try garlic shrimp in Haleiwa, and I was introduced to a restaurant. It was quite crowded, but thanks to the advance reservation and efficient service, we had plenty of time for sightseeing in Haleiwa. I got a cute Snoopy T-shirt for my grandchild. I do wish I had done a bit more research on Haleiwa beforehand.
Horseback Riding
The horses were very smart. I felt completely at ease; they were so intelligent that I think even kindergarteners could ride them. One downside was the explanation of how to handle the horses for those having lunch. Since the horses are smart, you just need to ride them, but the explanation wasn’t tailored for an elderly lady who didn’t understand English. It was a bit fast-paced! Thanks to our guide Arai, even though I didn’t understand English, I was able to grasp the meaning. It was a local approach of "just get on and get used to it." It wasn’t unpleasant at all, but it did have an American feel to it.
I had a wonderful day. Thank you!
観光
Uberを使いながらの移動をしていましたが、さすがに
ハレイワ観光と乗馬はツアーにしようと考えました。
結果、大正解。
日本人のガイドさんなので、痒いところに手が届くようなガイドと心遣い。
さすがです。アライさん、ありがとう！
ハレイワでガーリックシュリンプを食べたくて、お店を紹介してもらいました。
さすがに大混雑なのですが、前もっての予約と手際良さで、ハレイワの観光時間が十分に取れました。
可愛いスヌーピーのTシャツを孫にゲット。
もう少し、自分でハレイワの下調べをしておけば良かったとは思います。
乗馬
賢い馬さん。なんの心配も入りません。幼稚園児でも乗馬できるのではないかと思うくらいの賢い馬でした。
一つ残念なのは、ランチの方々の馬の扱い方の説明。馬が賢いので、ただ、乗馬してれば、いいのですが、英語がわからないおばさんに対する説明ではありませんでした。早口でした！
そこもガイドのアライさんのおかげで、英語わからずですが、意味が理解できました。「乗って慣れろ」方式の現地の方でした。
決して不快ではないのですが、アメリカン的な感じです。
楽しい1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed horseback riding and sightseeing in Haleiwa. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii. Mahalo!!
この度はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用いただき、ありがとうございました。乗馬とハレイワ観光をお楽しみ頂けたようで良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用くださいませ。Mahalo!!

The ATV ride was awesome full of adrenaline. The excitement of going thru the mountain and valleys and still look at the ocean was great. The guys guiding us were cool and friendly. Going through dirt, water and mud rushing thru curves and very cool.
It was heartfelt and awesome....so much history that we need to appreciate
Everything that we expected was delivered. We had a great time and saw so many whales on the way over to the snorkeling area. We spent just enough time in the water to not get bored or overwhelmed. Would definitely do it again!
The tour guides were super funny and knowledgable making the tour insightful, fun and AWESOME!! I really appreciated the ability to move around the water and flexibility to follow the whales respectfully.
I was worried that it would be a cramped little car since it was a shared ride, but I was relieved to find that it was a spacious vehicle where I could sit comfortably all the way to the hotel.
I caused a bit of a problem when I forgot the bag of duty-free items I had purchased on the plane, leaving it at my feet while I waited outside on a chair for the other passengers to gather. I was feeling a bit dazed from jet lag.
I realized I had forgotten it while we were driving, and I was panicking about what to do. However, it seemed that the local staff and the driver were coordinating about lost items, and when we arrived at the hotel, they showed me a picture of my forgotten belongings to check if I had left anything behind.
The driver asked me to call the tour company for assistance, so I requested help from a Japanese staff member at the hotel, and they successfully arranged for my items to be delivered back to me on the next shuttle.
I was worried that my first day would be ruined, but thanks to their warm support, it turned out to be a great start to my trip. Thank you very much!!!
乗合いなのでぎゅうぎゅうの小さい車だったらいやだなと思っていたのですが、ゆったりめに座れる大きい車で安心してホテルまで連れて行ってくれまして。
私が一つ問題を起してしまい、乗客が集まるまで外の椅子で待っているときに
時差ぼけでぼーっとしていたせいか、機内で購入した免税品の袋を足元に置いたまま忘れて乗車してしまいました。
走行中に忘れたことに気付き、どうしようかと一人で焦っていたのですが、現地スタッフとドライバーさんが忘れ物の連携を取っていてくれたみたいでホテルに到着した際忘れ物をしてないか私の忘れ物の画像を見せてくれました。
対応はツアー会社に電話して欲しいとドライバーさんからお願いされたので、ホテルの日本人スタッフの方に電話をお願いして次の送迎車の便で無事ホテルまで届けてくれました。
初日から気持ちが落ち込みそうでしたがとても暖かいご対応をいただき良い旅行の初日となりました。ありがとうございました！！！

I participated in the luau in November 2023. The fire dance performance was truly spectacular! The powerful dance and unique techniques, along with a large number of male dancers handling fire, made for a very impressive luau!
The location is in the Kapolei area, a bit away from Waikiki, and the luau is held on the grounds of the theme park "Wet 'n' Wild." I visited using a rental car, but there are also paid shuttles available from Waikiki, so if you're feeling uncertain, using the shuttle might be a good option.
The luau starts around the time Wet 'n' Wild closes. Staff dressed in Hawaiian attire greet you at the entrance and place a lei around your neck. Along the way to the venue, you can take commemorative photos before entering the open-air venue. The seating consists of plastic chairs, but they are neatly arranged, and a staff member guides you to your assigned seat.
During the bright hours before all the guests arrive, you can experience Hawaiian culture. I tried making a crown using coconut leaves. It might be fun for families with elementary school children or groups to participate in. There was also a traditional fire-starting demonstration on stage. You can enjoy a friendly atmosphere while waiting for the show to start.
Once all the guests have arrived, the show begins. First, there is a welcome performance by strong male dancers, followed by the meal time. The meal is served buffet-style, and you take food in the order you are seated. Since there were many large guests from the mainland, some menu items were gone by the time I went for seconds... It might be a good idea to take enough food during the first serving.
The staff also provides drinks with the meal. I refrained from alcohol since I was driving, but there are menu items like Mai Tai cocktails that you can only enjoy in Hawaii! If you're coming with a shuttle or with family, I recommend enjoying the exclusive drinks.
After enjoying a hearty meal, it’s finally time for the dance show. By the time the show starts, the sun has set, and the torches on stage create an atmospheric setting. The audience also starts to get excited. The dance show features about eight performers, showcasing not only hula but also Tahitian dance and moody performances, all of which are very engaging.
The highlight of this luau is undoubtedly the fire dance! The number of performers, the intensity, and the main dancer's skills combined to create an overwhelming performance. It ended with a standing ovation and loud applause. If you want to enjoy a show full of excitement, this is definitely a luau you should participate in!
It was incredibly impressive, and I'm glad I participated! Thank you to all the staff!
2023年11月に参加させていただきました。1にも2にもファイヤーダンスが圧巻のパフォーマンス！大迫力のダンスと他に類を見ないような技術の数々、火を扱う男性ダンサーの数も多く、非常に見応えたっぷりのルアウでした！
場所は少々ワイキキから離れたカポレイ地区、テーマパーク「ウェット＆ワイルド」の敷地内で実施されているルアウです。私はレンタカーを使って訪問しましたが、ワイキキから有料送迎も出ているので不安な方は送迎利用も良いかもしれません。
ルアウの開始時間はウェット＆ワイルドの閉園と近い時間。入口でハワイアンの装いをしたスタッフさんたちが出迎え、1人ずつレイを首にかけててくれます。会場までの道中で記念写真を撮っていただき、オープンエアの会場へ。座席はプラスチックのイスですが、きれいに整頓されており、自分の指定席にスタッフさんが案内してくれました。
お客さんが全員揃うまでの明るい時間帯はハワイアン文化の体験ができます。私はココナッツの葉っぱを使った冠作りに挑戦。小学生連れのご家族やグループで楽しんでみても良いかもしれません。ステージの上では昔ながらの火起こし体験も実施されていました。ショー開始までの時間、和気あいあいとした雰囲気を満喫することができます。
会場にお客さんが揃った頃からショーの開始です。まずは屈強な男性陣によるウェルカムパフォーマンスがあり、そこからお食事タイムへ。食事はブッフェ形式で席に座っている順番に取り分けていく流れです。大柄なアメリカ本土のお客さんが多かったせいか、おかわりを取りに行った頃にはなくなっているメニューもいくつか…1回目のとりわけでしっかりと食べる分は取っておくと良いかもしれませんね。
お食事と共にスタッフさんがドリンクを提供してくれます。私は運転があったのでアルコールは控えましたが、マイタイカクテル等、ハワイでしか飲めないメニューも！送迎つきで来られている方やご家族で来ている場合は、限定ドリンクを楽しむのもお勧めです。
お腹いっぱいまでお食事を楽しんだ後は、いよいよダンスショータイムになります。ショー開始の頃には日も沈んで夜も更けており、ステージ上の松明が世界感を演出。会場に合わせて、客席も盛り上がってきます。ダンスショーは男女8名程度の構成で、フラダンスはもちろん、タヒチアンダンスやムーディーなダンス等、見応えたっぷりの演目が続きます。
このルアウの見どころはなんといってもファイヤーダンス！人数、迫力、メインダンサーの技術など、総合して圧倒的なパフォーマンスでした。最後はスタンディングオベーションで大拍手喝采。とにかく迫力満点のショーを楽しみたい方には、是非参加いただきたいルアウショーでした！
非常に見応えたっぷり、参加して良かったです！
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.
The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.
The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.
The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.
Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.
After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.
You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.
After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!
The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.
Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.

以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。
会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。
16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…！並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。
当日はハワイらしい快晴！開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。
会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ！全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。
しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。
食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる？」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。
一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった～！
ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス！！
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事！火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。
他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。
なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず！
（一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。）
ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました！

I was picked up at a nearby hotel just after 8 AM, and it took about 30 minutes from Honolulu to the harbor. The cruiser was larger than I expected, with around 30 participants and about 10 staff members, but there was still plenty of space.
First, we received various explanations from a staff member who spoke Japanese, and as the cruiser set off, we enjoyed live ukulele music and singing until we arrived at the sandbar. We had three hours of free time, and since we had signed up for the banana boat and bumper tube, we were guided there first. After that, we went snorkeling, but the water was deeper than I thought, reaching up to my waist at 163 cm. However, there were many fish around the coral, and the kids were thrilled. There were also people playing water volleyball, floating on inflatable rings, and others relaxing on the cruiser.
It might have been just that day, but the wind was strong, and the temperature didn't rise, making it quite cold! It was mentioned to bring a bath towel, but we only brought three for five people, thinking we would just dry off quickly. After drying off, we were cold, and the kids were covering their heads with the towels, leaving us parents shivering. Thankfully, they provided warm herbal tea, which helped us get through it. So, for those participating, I recommend bringing something to wear after getting out of the water, even though it might be a bit of a hassle.
All the staff members were friendly and made an effort to understand our limited English, for which we were grateful.
There were ropes marking safe areas in the water, and staff members were stationed around to ensure we could play in a monitored area. The light snacks included several types of donuts, orange juice, water, and herbal tea, and my child loved the donuts so much that they kept asking for more. Additionally, there were two clean restrooms for each gender.
I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii!
朝8時過ぎに近くのホテルでピックアップして貰い、ホノルルから船乗り場まで30分くらいの感じでした。
思っていたより大きなクルーザーでツアーに参加される人が30人くらいと10人くらいスタッフが居ましたが、それでも随分余裕がありました。
初めに日本語が話せるスタッフに色々な説明を受け、クルーザーが動き出し、ウクレレの生演奏や歌を聴いている間にサンドバーに到着しました。
3時間の自由時間があり、ウチはバナナボートやバンパーチューブを申し込んでいたので先にそちらに案内されました。
それが終わるとシュノーケリングをしたのですが、思っていたより深く163cmの私の股上あたりまで水がありました。でも珊瑚周辺は沢山の魚がおり子供が大喜びしていました。あとは水上バレーや浮き輪で浮いてる人、クルーザー中でゆっくり過ごす人様々でした。
その日はたまたまかと思いますが、風が強く気温も上がらずとにかく寒い！バスタオルは持参と書いてあったのですが、さらっと体を拭くだけかと5人で3枚しか持っていかなかったので体を吹いたあとは寒くて子供たちがバスタオルを頭から被っていたので親の私たち寒くて震えていましたが、暖かいハーブティーを用意してくれ何とかしのげました。
なので、参加される方は荷物になりますが、海から出たあと羽織れるものを持参される方がよいかと思います。
スタッフの方は皆フレンドリーで英語の拙い私たちの英語も理解しようとしてくださり感謝でした。
海の中でも行っても良い場所までロープが張られ、あちこちにスタッフの方が立って下さっており目が行き届く所で遊ぶ感じになっていました。
軽食はドーナツ数種類、オレンジジュース、水、ハーブティーでしたが、子供がこのドーナツを気に入り何度もお代わりしていたくらいでした。
あと、トイレも男女別で2つずつ用意されており綺麗でした。
またハワイに行ったらまた参加したいです
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. Since the weather can change and it can feel chilly after coming out of the sea, we recommend bringing something to wear, as you mentioned, Mikan. We look forward to your participation when you visit Hawaii again. Best regards, the 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。天気が崩れたり風が吹いていると海から上がられた後に肌寒さを感じられることが多いため、Mikan様がおっしゃったように羽織れるものをご持参頂くとよろしいかと思います。またハワイへお越しの際には是非、ご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同

We were very lucky to sail on a lovely evening with lots of whales surrounding us and they were quite active. The crew were great, we enjoyed the snacks and drinks. It was just about perfect, loved the boat, could have stayed out on the water for hours if allowed. Definitely will do again and recommend this cruise.
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Sunset Cruise and also for including that beautiful photo. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the trip, the onboard amenities, the whales, and your interactions with our crew!
We know there are a lot of ways to watch the sunset when you're in Hawaii and we're honored you chose to spend one of yours with us and that we've earned your recommendation.

It felt just like the other reviews said.
It was more of a shuttle service to the hotel rather than a tour. Since it was completely in English, I think only those who can speak English would enjoy it. When we arrived at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, the guide left, and we had to buy our own tickets and were free to explore on our own. I thought the price was high considering it was just a shuttle service. I felt a bit reluctant to pay a tip on top of that.
There was also a place to rent snorkeling gear inside Hanauma Bay, so honestly, I think it would be best to rent a car and go there on your own.
Hanauma Bay itself was amazing, and I would love to go again if I have the chance! I highly recommend it!
他の口コミ通りという感じでした。
ツアーというよりはホテルまでの送迎のみでした。完全英語対応だったので英語ができる方しか楽しめないと思います。
ハナウマ湾入口に着くとガイドは帰ってしまい自分でチケット購入し、自由行動という感じでした。
送迎のみの割には値段が高いと思いました。そこにチップを払うのは少し抵抗がありました。
ハナウマ湾の中にシュノーケルセットをレンタルできる場所もあったので正直自分でレンタカーして行くのが1番かと思いました。
ハナウマ湾自体は最高でまた機会があれば行きたいと思いました！！おすすめです！

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I visited Kailua Beach for the first time. It was much less crowded than Waikiki, making it a very romantic experience. I noticed many newlyweds, which was heartwarming to see.
You can rent mats and beach chairs from the shop, so after a relaxing time on the beach, we returned to the shop for lunch. There were many delicious lunch options available.
The half-Asian driver and the shop staff were kind, efficient, and easy to talk to, making them wonderful people. The lockers, changing rooms, and restrooms were clean and easy to use.
This time, after the beach, I was taken to Kailua Town for shopping, but next time I want to rent a bike and visit Lanikai Beach. Thank you to all the staff!
ハワイ三度目にして、初めてカイルアビーチに来ました。
ワイキキより人も少なくてとてもロマンティックに過ごせます。新婚旅行？のお二人が多い様に感じられ、見ていて微笑ましかっです。
お店でゴザとビーチチェアを借りられるのでまったりビーチで過ごした後、お店に戻りランチしました。ランチの種類も多くて美味しかったです。
送迎のハーフのお兄さんもお店のお姉さんも優しくてテキパキしており、話しやすくて素敵な方達でした。
ロッカーも着替えルームもトイレも綺麗で使いやすかったです。
今回は、ビーチの後にカイルアタウンに送ってもらい買い物しましたが次回は自転車レンタルしてラニカイビーチにも行きたいと思います。
スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました。
Dear Tama Mama,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. Kailua Beach has a quiet charm that is different from Waikiki Beach, doesn’t it? We hope you will come back to Kailua the next time you visit Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

The best tour to go on in Oahu. Amazing vibes! Amazing live music! Great service! The food was ehhh, 3/10, but you can BYOB and eat before or after! Amazing time. Would highly recommend.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
The experience was amazing.
The captain and his helper was polite patient and very fun .
Just make sure to arrive on time
This is our second time with Captain Bob's, and we will definitely return.... We recommend this group because they are very knowledgeable, you get to play on the sandbar, enjoy a great lunch, snorkel around a small reef and they take you to a spot to see many turtles!!!!
Our captains were so helpful with our family members that needed extra help, they were so attentive to their needs and were watching our for them all the time...... They were so friendly and pleasant to be around..... Awesome, fantastic, wonderful, excellent were the words my family of 6 kept saying over and over...... We highly recommend Captain Bob's and will definitely return when we come back to Oahu....
This was a fantastic outing. A beautiful day for a fun cruise. I had a blast snorkeling. The crew was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The food was very good. Thank you.
The cruise was very relaxing and informative about the hawaiian culture as you make your way to the fern grotto thru some of the most beautiful views, you also will enjoy some beautiful singing and dancing as you cruise to a beautiful waterfalls.
The zipline experience with breathtaking views from various directions in Hawaii is unforgettable. It took about an hour by rental car to get there, making it a full-day activity.
Since rain can ruin the fun, I feel it's safer to make a reservation about a week in advance after checking the weather forecast.
The instructor was lively and kept us entertained throughout the experience.
ハワイのいろんな方角の絶景を見ながらのジップラインは、記憶に残ります。
現地に行くまで、レンタカーでも1時間前後かかったので、1日がかり。
雨が降ると楽しめないので、予約は、1週間前くらいに天気予報が出てからが安心な気がします。
インストラクターのノリがよく、随所で楽しませてくれます。

シェラトンから歩いてすぐの乗り場です。天気は良く、スタッフがボートの乗り降りの手順を手伝ってくれました。風が心地よく、スタッフとの会話も楽しいです。船内では飲み物も販売されます。ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くに行きます。景色は素晴らしいです。
シェラトンから歩いてすぐの乗り場。
The weather was nice and the staff helped us with the steps to get on and off the boat. The wind is comfortable and the staff's conversations are fun. Drinks will also be sold on board. We will go near Diamond Head. The scenery is amazing.

The wind felt a bit cold, but the weather was nice and the sea was crystal clear—it was the best! Although we only spoke Japanese, the staff were very kind and made us feel at ease!
風が少し寒く感じましたが天気も良く海も透き通ってて最高でした！
日本語しか話せない私達でしたがスタッフのみなさんも凄く親切で安心できました！

I experienced a package that included parasailing, banana boating, and bumper tubing. Since there were staff members who spoke Japanese, I felt comfortable enjoying the activities.
It costs about $50 by taxi from Waikiki. You can also get there by The BUS.
If you check in online beforehand, the reception process is easier (you will receive an email). You can also do it on the day of.
My belongings were always close to me, so there were no issues. A waterproof phone case is essential.
During the banana boat and bumper tubing, a lot of seawater gets in your eyes and mouth, so it's better to have water and goggles on hand. Goggles can be rented on-site for $10, and they accept both card and cash. I endured falling off, so my arms were sore the next day, haha.
If you are prone to motion sickness while parasailing, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. The waiting boat was quite rocky. I chose the 150m option, and the views and exhilaration were fantastic.
After the activities, changing facilities are in the reception building's restrooms (two unisex stalls).
I tipped while on the boat and also gave a direct tip to the staff who made the experience enjoyable.
All activities come with a GoPro, so don't forget to strike a pose and capture some action shots! You can check the photos and videos later, and having good camera angles might increase your desire to purchase them.
I've summarized the information I wanted to know, so I hope it helps you.
パラセーリング、 バナナボート、バンパーチューブが楽しめるパッケージを今回体験しました。
日本語を話せるスタッフでしたので安心して楽しめました。
ワイキキからタクシーで50ドルくらいです。
The BUSでも行けます。
先にOn-line check in をしておくと受付が楽です。(メールがきます)
しなくても当日出来ます。
荷物は常に自分の近くにあるので問題なかったです。
防水の携帯ケースは必須ですね。
バナナボートとバンパーチューブは目と口に海水が結構はいるので、水などは手持ちでゴーグルもあった方がいいです。
ゴーグルは現地で10ドルでレンタル出来ます。カードでも現金でも対応してました。
落ちるのを我慢するので翌日から腕が筋肉痛に 笑
パラセーリングする方で酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。
沖で待機するボートも結構揺れました。
オプションの150mにしましたが景色も爽快感も最高でした。
終わった後の着替えは受付の建物の中のトイレ(男女兼用2室)になります。
チップは船の上で払いつつ、楽しましてくれたスタッフには直接渡す事もしました。
全てのアクティビティにGo Proが付いてるのでみんなでカメラ目線やアクションも忘れずに！！
後で写真と動画を確認するのでカメラ目線があれば購入意欲も湧くかと思います。
自分が知りたかった事を纏めましたので参考にしてもらえればと思います。

The Smith family really made you feel like “Ohana”. They were very welcoming and embraced and welcomed each and every guest with a pooka lai; photo, tram tour, exhibition on how pig was prepared and cooking process; unlimited buffet style meal with authentic cultural entrees, desserts and “poi”; and evening entertainment.
The whole crew was amazing, kind and funny! Spending the day at the sandbar was such an incredible experience and I highly suggest it for anyone looking to spend a fun day in the ocean. Would definitely book this trip again, the live music was also just amazing!
Mahalo for your review & picture! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
Easy to book and stress free service. We had a good time visiting. Staff were super friendly from front desk, tour to souvenir store.
We enjoyed all aspects of this luau and highly recommend it. The host was phenomenal, as were the dancers. And the food was incredibly tasty.
