Hawaii
There isn't enough gratitude that I can express for the staff at the Rock-A Hula show! I came with a date, but my flight arrived in late, so my date was there, but I missed everything up to the dinner and show.
They were so accommodating ensuring my date received all the perks that were promised, and kept her company until I arrived. Then, when I got there, they even accepted my bags, and brought me food to ensure I ate enough before the show! Just great customer service.
Now the show... Just awesome. As a musician, everything was on point. The band, vocals, especially the Elvis act! Highly recommend and glad it was the first thing we did to get me back in good spirits after missing some of the action due to my flight.
Thanks staff! What a great experience!
Micki was a great tour guide! It was a beautiful experience with countless views. Handling a ATV is always a fun time. She also captured many pictures of us, made sure to get all the beautiful scenery all around us. I would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to come back!
My family loved it. We got to see dolphins turtles, and the view was amazi loved how they asked if they could dip the kids, and yes, give them all the way there was all around great experience would do it again. Kids loved it.
Since it was early in the morning, I was the only user. Even while waiting at the airport, they were friendly and helpful during both boarding and alighting.
早朝だったため、利用者は私ひとりでした。空港で待ってる間も声をかけてくれたり、乗車時も降車時もとても親切でした。
Everything that was listed happened, they came to pick us up on time, the equipment was in perfect shape, the small training for beginners was clear and well done.
I went with my 7-year-old daughter, and both guides where all the time paying special attention to us, to see that were ok, taking special care of us. I felt very well looked after and secure. They know what they do and are very professional.
The experience is really amazing, we saw so many fishes and a turtle.
We both loved it.
The adventure starts with kayaking out of the marina and up the river. The current is very slow, so you have plenty of photo opportunities and chances to enjoy the views. Wear a hat and sunscreen, you don't have shade for much of this portion.
Next is a hike through the rainforest. 95% of the hike is easy. There are a few river crossings, muddy inclines, and slippery/uneven footings. The hike is definitely not grueling, and I never felt tired. But if someone had mobility or balance issues, they would struggle at a few spots. I'd take my kids, but not my grandma.
Third is lunch at the waterfall. It's an uneven/rocky area, but our lunch was good. The views here are amazing. The pool of water is VERY cold. It's shallow enough to walk all the way under the waterfall.
You get about an hour at the waterfall. Then you hike and kayak back to where you started.
Our guide was Justice. He was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife, and history of the area. He had lots of interesting stories. The trip was enjoyable & he definitely added to the fun. Justice will tell you that "Hawaii is magic" and after this vacation we might agree.
When we eventually make it back to Kauai, visiting the waterfall will surely be on the list of activities.
Wow Russell and/or Maddison,
One of you should write a guide book. Do you want to start writing copy for us? (Smiling face)
A very,,,,very good description of what is involved and might say the the excellence of our guides such as Justice.
Thanks for taking the time…it’s a beautiful world out there.
Stay well and active.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
The scenery at Sandbar was exceptionally beautiful. The barbecue featured authentic hamburgers made with charcoal-grilled patties, which were delicious. During snorkeling, I was fortunate to see a sea turtle up close, which is a rare encounter.
サンドバーの風景、綺麗さは格別でした。
バーベキューは炭火焼きで本格的なハンバーグを使用したハンバーガーだったので、美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、出会うことが稀なウミガメを間近に見ることができて幸運です。
Traveling by boat was quite thrilling, and it was so rocky that it would have been dangerous if I hadn't taken motion sickness medication! When flying in the sky, I was nervous at first, but everywhere I looked was a breathtaking view, creating the best memories! By the way, we weren't asked whether we would land in the water; everyone was dropped equally!
船で移動している時もかなりスリル満点で、酔い止めを飲んでいなければ危なかったなというほど揺れました!
空を飛んでいる時も、初めはドキドキしたのですが、どこをみても絶景で最高の思い出ができました!
ちなみに水に着地するかどうかは聞かれず、全員平等に落とされていました!
Adam was prompt for pick up at hotel and at Diamond head. He was informative and gave good tips about the hike. Beautiful hike
I have been to Hawaii several times, but I could only take long vacations in May and August, and it wasn't whale watching season, so I couldn't even join a tour. This time, I will be going to Hawaii in January for my honeymoon, and I first booked a whale watching tour!
I was worried because I read that there are days when you can't see them, but luckily, I was able to see a little bit!!! Since it was a mother and calf, I could see the big back and the small back alternately.
If we had seen the tail fin, I might have felt more like we actually saw a whale, but it can't be helped. I can't help but feel greedy, but it's quite rare to see wild whales, so it was a very good experience! I was also glad to see the rare view of Diamond Head and the Waikiki coastline from the sea!
The boat swayed enough to make you feel unsteady, so even if you don't usually get seasick, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
何度かハワイに来たことがあるのですが、5月、8月しか長期休暇が取れず、ホエールウォッチングシーズンではなかったのでツアーに参加することすら出来ませんでした。。
今回ハネムーンで1月にハワイに行くことになり、最初にホエールウォッチングツアーを予約しました!
見れない日もあると口コミにあり心配でしたが、、運良くちょっとだけ見ることが出来ました!!!
親子だったので、大きい背中と小さい背中が交互に見れました。
尾ビレが見えればクジラを見れた感をもっと感じられたのかもしれませんが、、しょうがないですね。
どうしても欲が出てしまいますが、そもそも野生の?クジラを見れることはなかなかないのでとても良い経験になりました!
海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキの海岸もレアな景色も見ることが出来て良かったです!
船はヨタヨタ歩きになるぐらい揺れるので、乗り物酔いをしない方も酔い止めは飲んで行った方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
My wife and I took this tour while staying at Waikiki in January. It was an ideal day for whale spotting conditions. The naturalist was very knowledgeable, and the boat had plenty of room for all the passengers to see the surroundings. We watched one whale surface nearer to the shore, then went out deeper by Diamondhead. Just as we were approaching a possible sighting, we saw a humpback breach and jump out of the water. It was spectacular! Highly recommend this tour! Guaranteed sightings!
A most enjoyable experience! Once we spotted a spout in the distance, we motored to it for a wonderful mother-baby whale show! Only recommendation would be to improve the directions to get to the check-in location on the beach.
I participated in whale watching with the mindset that it would be nice to see a whale since it's nature. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales, but it was very enjoyable as a cruising experience. The pickup was very clear, and the staff was super cute. The performances on the boat were all in English, so I didn't understand anything, but it was strangely uplifting. The weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly in short sleeves.
ホエールウオッチングだけど、自然相手ですから、クジラは見れたら良いなぁ、くらいの気持ちで参加しました。
結果、残念ながらクジラには遭遇しませんでしたが、クルージングとして、とても楽しかったです(^_^)v
ピックアップの時も、とってもわかりやすく、とってもキュートなお姉さんでした。
船内のパフォーマンスは全て英語のため、全然意味が解らないのに、テンションが上がってしまうのは不思議ですねwww
天候が曇りだったため、半袖ではちょっと肌寒かったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the morning cruise. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けなかったのが残念ですが、朝のクルーズをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I participated in the afternoon tour.
There was a Japanese crew, which made me feel at ease!
It was really fun.
The weather was cloudy, so it was very cold, but that's just luck...
It was so cold that being in the sea felt warmer...
I was able to experience both SAP and snorkeling.
午後のツアーに参加しました。
日本人のクルーがいて安心して参加できました!
すごく楽しかったです。
天候が曇りだったためすごく寒かったですが、
それだけは運なので、、、、、
海に浸かってる方が暖かく感じるくらい
寒かったです、、、、、。
SAPもシュノーケルも体験できました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. It seems that the weather was cloudy and cold on the day of the tour, but we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. We look forward to your participation in the tour again when you visit Hawaii. 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。ツアー当日は曇りで寒かったようですが、、楽しんで頂けたとの事で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ツアーへのご参加をお待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
The scenery is so magnificent that it is chosen as a filming location for movies. Riding the buggy from various angles allowed for a lot of movement and enjoyment. However, there was a bit too much time left on the return trip, and if it's just the buggy attraction, you might find yourself with too much free time. I think it would be good to plan other experience attractions at Kualoa on the same day.
映画ロケ地として選ばれるほどの壮大な景色なかに入ることができる。
色々な角度からバギーをのることで、移動距離も多く、楽しめた。
ただ、少し帰りの時間が十分余裕があり、バギーだけのアトラクションだと時間を持て余す。
他に同日にクアロアでの体験アトラクションを計画するといいと思う
Such a great experience! We got to see so many places in this tour. I would recommend it to anyone who loves movies or even just nature. The views are amazing! I would definitely use this company again in the future!
This time, my family and I participated in the dinner show "Rock-a-Hula" for the first time. After having dinner, we watched the show. First, regarding the dinner, there were a decent number of dishes, so I think you'll feel full. However, the meat was a bit tough and didn't taste very good. As for the show, the seats we had were excellent, so we had a great view. There was hula dancing, and impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which made it quite lively and enjoyable. It seems that there are options to just attend the show, so I think it would be nice to have a meal in Waikiki and then enjoy the performance.
今回、初めてディナーショーの「ロック・ア・フラ」に家族で参加しました。
ディナーを頂いてから、ショーの観戦という流れでした。まず、ディナーですが品数もそこそこありお腹いっぱいにはなると思います。ただし、お肉は固めであまり美味しいと感じませんでした。ショーの方は、観戦した席が大変良かったので、よく見えました。フラダンスあり、エルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーがあったり結構盛り上がり、楽しめました。ショーだけもあるようなので、ワイキキあたりで好きな食事をし、観賞するのもありだと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. 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&ショーに御家族でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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 have been using this service for nearly 10 years now. Since it's a transportation service, I don't expect anything special; as long as I arrive at my destination smoothly and safely, that's good enough for me. This time, due to the unfortunate accident at Haneda, my arrival was delayed by over three hours, but I was picked up and taken to the hotel with minimal waiting time. Of course, I will use it again for my return trip.
もうかれこれ10年近く毎年お世話になっています。
送迎サービスなので特別なことは期待せず、スムーズかつ安全に目的地に到着できればそれでOK。
今回は羽田の痛ましい事故の影響で3時間以上到着が遅れましたが、たいした待ち時間もなくホテル前まで送っていただきました。
もちろん帰りも利用します。
Passionate, knowledgeable staff. Comfortable accommodations. Reasonably priced. Safe boat. Saw lots of whales. Highly recommend this outfitter.
It was exciting to see the actual locations where the movie was filmed spread out before my eyes. Please give it a try. The bus tour goes directly to the location, so you don't have to walk on mountain trails, so it's perfect for families with children.
Beautiful boat ride along Honolulu, Waikiki and the crater Volcano. The crew made sure everyone on the boat saw each whale sighting and what direction they were sited in. We saw them 5 times on our excursion.
I thought we would head out to the open sea, but we actually progressed to a distance where we could see land from Waikiki Beach to just past Diamond Head. I was half in doubt, wondering if we would really see whales this close. I thought the chances of seeing them were even lower than seeing the aurora, so I didn't have high expectations, but we did see them. Two whales? showed us their spouts multiple times, and the boat followed them closely. Although we didn't see their tails or large bodies, I was satisfied. I couldn't believe we could see them so close to shore; it felt like they were either trained or robotic. Since it was a large boat, there was little rocking, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.
沖の方に出るのかと思ったらワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドの先あたりまで、陸が見える距離を進み、こんな近くに鯨が出るの??と半信半疑でした。出現確率もオーロラより低いんじゃないの?とあまり期待していませんでしたが、見れました。2頭?が何度も潮吹きを見せてくれて、船も追いかけるように進んでくれました。尾びれや大きな姿は見れませんでしたが満足しました。こんなに近海で見れるなんて、飼いならしているかロボットか?と思うほどでした。大きな船なので、揺れも少なくて船酔いの心配なし。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

It's a show that delights tourists. You can enjoy it with dinner included. The shows featuring Presley and Michael Jackson were a hit even with Americans, and the audience was singing along.
観光客に喜ばれるショーです。ディナー付きで楽しめます。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーはアメリカ人にとってもウケて、客席の方々歌ってました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafura Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of 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 ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。
Food and service was good. Views were outstanding. Nice entertainment.
This tour covered all the bases and then some. I am very thankful we chose the guided tour option, the guides really know it all! Mahalo E Noa , we will be back hopefully soon!
This was the best luau! I would highly recommend this experience! The family and I really enjoyed this celebration and would definitely come back next time we are on island!
Yoshi is an amazing guide. His personality is everything. We had an amazing sunset and were able to see clearly Andromeda, Jupiter, and Saturn. One of the best experiences of our trip!!
The activities were great but the whole staff is awemazing!
This is one of my favorite activities we have done in Hawaii. I think everyone should do it at least once in life Both my husband and I love it! We definitely will do again next time we are in Hawaii.
I want to shout out to the stuffs here, they are super friendly and knowledgeable.
Aloha LL! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review! We really appreciate it. So stoked to hear that kayaking and snorkeling with us is in your Hawai'i highlights, and especially glad to hear that our staff treated you well and hopefully contributed to you having a great experience. I speak for our entire team when I say it was our pleasure to have you join us and we hope the next time is soon! Mahalo!
Purchasing on line was a breeze. Check in was quick and easy. The all-female crew was professional, knowledgeable, and FUN. Cruising along the Waikiki shore was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time, and we had no problem seeing whales. We even got to see the illusive tail flip! Cannot recommend this enough. It was the highlight of our vacation. (We were first-time Waikiki visitors)
