Hawaii
It was an English tour, but it was not difficult, and I was able to participate happily. The time flew by in the air! Since you can enjoy Hawaiian activities in a short time, I recommend it for those who are short on time.
英語ツアーでしたが、難しいことはなく楽しく参加できました。上空ではあっという間の時間でした!
短時間でハワイらしいアクティビティができるので、時間のない方もおすすめです。
As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!
The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.
Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!
The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!
This was a very unique and amazing experience, definitely a must go if you're in Hawaii. Looking forward to going back again next month because it was that great of a tour!
Since there was only a local meeting point in the reservation details, I arranged for HANA TAX on my own in advance. I requested a meter fare, and the ride to the destination was charged normally by the meter. However, on the return trip, the meter was started at the beginning, but while I was sleeping, it was turned off, and I was charged the same amount as the outgoing trip upon arrival.
The main zip line experience initially had English support, but I filled out and signed a consent form in Japanese. We listened to the explanation for the zip line intended for Japanese participants and then started. We did six zip lines. The staff communicated in English, but it was not a problem if you couldn't converse; the important thing was that the staff used a translation app to assist us.
We started at 11:00 and finished around 13:00. If possible, I recommend wearing shoes that can get a little muddy, as they may get dirty.
現地集合しか予約内容がなかったので前もって、個人でHANA TAXを頼んで行きました。メーターでの依頼をしましたが、行きは普通にメーターでした。
帰りはスタート時メーターをスタートしましが私が寝てしまってる間にメーターを切られていて、到着先で行きと同じ金額を取られました。
メインのジップラインは最初英語での対応でしたが、日本語の承諾書を記入してサインをしました。
日本人用のジップラインの説明を聞いてスターしました。私達は6ラインのジップラインをしました。
スタッフは英語での会話ですが、会話ができなくても全然問題なく、大切な事はスタッフ様が通訳アプリで見せてくれました。
11時からスタートして終わったのが13時頃でした。
もし可能なら靴は少し泥がつくので汚れても良い靴をおすすめします。
It was a good decision to have an all-you-can-drink option since water costs the same as juice. There was a Japanese guide who helped us with reserving seats and recommended good spots, which was very helpful. The attractions included options for babies and children as well as thrilling ones. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication.
水でもジュースと同じ料金がかかるので飲み放題があって正解でした。
日本人の案内の方がいて、いすの場所取りおおすすめ場所など教えていただき、たすかりました。アトラクションは、赤ちゃん、子供向けとスリリングなものとありました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めしたほうがいいかもです
This tour is very fun. Must have experience the tour moves very fast though the trials. I did this tip it last year had a different guide. Our tour guide was good. Wish he could have been more informative and more helpful with taking photos. I would recommend this tour for people that want a good workout. Not for seeing the sites.
It was different from the snorkeling I had imagined; we swam continuously for about 60 minutes. They guided us to good spots, and we were able to take underwater photos. Since it's a tour where you need both hands free at all times, it's better to avoid taking your smartphone. You shouldn't bring it. We even saw a sea turtle along the way, which was beyond my expectations.
I felt that the maximum of 5 people in a small group was in reference to the number of participants per instructor, but I don't think there were any issues with that.
想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。
最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。
I was instructed to be at the meeting point five minutes before the pickup time, so I arrived ten minutes early. However, not only did they not arrive five minutes before, but they also didn't show up even at the scheduled departure time.
After waiting and feeling frustrated, they finally arrived about seven minutes after the departure time. There was no explanation or apology for the delay.
After that, we headed to the airport after stopping at three pickup locations, but no passengers showed up at two of those spots, resulting in wasted time. In the end, it took about 60 minutes from boarding to reaching the school.
ピックアップ時間(出発時間)の5分前には集合場所に居るように指示されたので、10分前には待っていました。が、5分前どころか出発時間になっても来ませんでした。
痺れを切らして問い合わせをしようとした出発時刻の7分後位に、来ました。
特に遅れた説明も謝罪もありません。
その後、3箇所のピックアップ場所に寄った後に空港へ向かいましたが、そのうち2箇所で乗車する人は現れずに無駄な時間を過ごしました。
結果、乗車から校舎まで60分程度かかりました。
The tour was very well organized and very well planned. I felt I saw so much and learned a lot about the culture and history of the island. Jim was full of interesting information and made the trip memorable Fun group.
The staff is super friendly and helpful when checking in. They give you all the necessary info and tips to ensure your time is well spent. All the equipment was in good condition. Definitely recommend self-guided tour if you are able since it is much more affordable than a guided tour. Thank you!
Aloha Sarah! 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! This is so great to hear that you had this kind of experience with us, and especially that our staff took good care of you. Hopefully that contributed to you having an awesome experience of Kane'ohe Bay! On behalf of all of us it was our pleasure to have you and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, despite the very low cost. The photographer was very friendly and took a lot of pictures for me. Although it was an extra charge, I was thrilled to have them transferred to my smartphone.
とても安価にもかかわらず約10分堪能しました
カメラマン?はとても気さくな方で
いっぱい写真も撮って下さり別料金ですが
スマホに転送してもらえ感激です
I was excited to see the attractions in the pictures, but only three were operational. It was my mistake to rent two with roofs, and there was no advice regarding that. I opted for the lunch package, but even with the transportation included, 93,112 yen for that is too expensive.
アトラクションは画像で見るとワクワク期待したのですが
3つしか稼働してなく、こちらのミスですが屋根付きのを二つも
レンタルしていて それに対するアドバイス等は何もなく
昼食付にしましたが 送迎込みでも あれで93,112円は
高すぎる
The horses are calm and will follow the horse in front of them along the route with almost no effort required, so I think anyone can enjoy it. The scenery was also fantastic.
馬達はおとなしく、ほぼ何も操作しなくても前の馬に着いてルートに沿って進むので、誰でも楽しめると思います。
景色も最高で良かったです。
A little disappointed that we could not see the sunset go in the ocean. We have been on other sunset cruises and always could see the sun go in the ocean but we had land block our view. The staff was great and very informative. Snack could be upgraded a little as well. Overall it was fun but not what we thought we signed up for.
We started with a buffet outdoors, and the weather was nice, making it very pleasant. The food was Hawaiian cuisine, which created great memories. During dinner, there was a light show and hula lessons, making the meal enjoyable!
The performance exceeded my expectations in quality. The singer on stage had impressive vocal skills, and the dancers were also very skilled, so I was glad to see a lot of hula dancing.
After the performance, we were able to take photos, making it a very memorable experience!
野外でビュッフェを食べることから始まり、天気も良くとても気持ちよかったです。ご飯もハワイアン料理を味わえていい思い出になりました。夕食中は軽いショーもあったりフラレッスンもあって楽しくお食事ができました!
公演は思った以上のクオリティで楽しめました。舞台に立たれていた歌手はさすがの歌唱力でダンサーの方もすごく上手でフラダンスもたくさん見れたのでよかったです。
公演後は写真撮影もできたりして、とても思い出深い体験ができました!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful weather, the luau buffet, and the entertainment, making for a truly memorable 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&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お天気も良く、ルアウブッフェのお食事そして、エンターテインメントも楽しめて頂けたご様子で、とても思い出深い体験のお手伝いができたこと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 could see that the crew was doing their best to entertain the guests. The volleyball at the sandbar and the sea turtle watching were both fun (we saw more than 10 turtles). The hamburger made by the female captain was also delicious. The explanations from the Japanese crew were concise and easy to understand.
During the final snorkeling at the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. I even saw a dragonfish chasing other tropical fish at high speed!
The only downside for me was that it was cold. I had heard it would be chilly coming out of the sea, so I prepared extra towels and a jacket, but the water was quite cold too, and I ended up shivering. If I had stayed in the water and moved around more, it might have been better. Considering the occasionally cloudy weather and the fact that it was November, I suppose it can't be helped.
However, I was able to have a wonderful time in the Hawaiian sea for the first time. Thank you to all the crew!
クルー達が一生懸命客を楽しませようとしてくれてるのがわかった。
サンドバーでのバレーボールも゙ウミガメウォッチングも楽しかった。(10匹以上見られた。)女性キャプテンの焼いてくれたハンバーグのハンバーガーも美味しかった。日本人のクルーの説明も簡潔でわかりやすかった。
最後の珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルでは、たっくさんの魚を見ることができた。ドラゴンフィッシュが他の熱帯魚を猛スピードで追いかけてるのも゙見た!
私にとっての唯一の難点は寒かったこと。海からあがると寒いとは聞いてたので、予備のバスタオルとか上着とかを用意して行ったが、水の中も結構寒くてガタガタ震えてしまった。海からあがらないで、水の中でもっと動いてたら、マシだったかも。時々曇ったりする天気と11月という季節を考えたら、仕方ないかと思う。
でも、初めてのハワイの海で素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。クルーの皆さん、ありがとう!
Awesome tour! We didn’t get to snorkel due to the weather and the waves but they totally made up for it by taking us to great swimming spots and beautiful views. We saw dolphins and turtles and the crew was so serving and kind :) 10/10 would recommend!
I had booked it because it's something my sister and I had never done and out side of our comfort zone. It was a blast, SO glad we had done this, I would do it again! Thanks team for the fun!
The biggest draw for this tour is that the pickup point was directly at Disney's Aulani Resort. (Not too many other similar tours had stops there!)
Our driver Quentin made the trip a very informative one with his vast knowledge of the landmarks and places of interest. He was also very receptive to people's questions and stuck true to form with timings of tours, particularly dropoffs and pickups from the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
I would like to extend special thanks to Quentin for allowing me to take a much needed bathroom break during the Honolulu portion of the tour. The main problem, however, was that downtown Honolulu has absolutely no public restrooms anywhere, so if you don't use the restroom at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, you are screwed. Unfortunately, I had to learn that the hard way!
Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I believe the party I was with did too!
Best views of Molokai, Lanai, from the west.
Guides were great! Tour allows us to plant our own Koa tree for future island health.
Book now, don’t hesitate for this special tour of Maui.
From the moment of arrival the staff was friendly and very attentive (we did pay for the VIP section and it was worth it for the service). The were almost too many food choices to choose from and it was all very delicious. The host was engaging and entertaining, the music wonderful, and all the dancers were great. We enjoyed that they were telling stories in their dance, not just there for show. Overall it was a wonderful experience, the only negative I have is location because you can't see the ocean from the luau venue and it does help the ambience we feel.
I'm glad there was a kiosk right inside the domestic arrival lobby, so I could meet up without any confusion. This time it was a domestic flight from the Big Island to Honolulu, so I'm not sure if there will be a kiosk in a prominent location at the international arrival lobby.
国内線到着ロビー内すぐにキオスクがあったので、迷わず合流できてよかったです。今回はハワイ島からホノルルへの国内線だったので、国際線到着ロビーの場合は目立つ場所にキオスクがあるかは不明です。
The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.
The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.
The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.
For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.
The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.
All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.
Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.
Aloha Danielle, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy our tour. We shared your feedback with our crews, and we will discuss about better way to our customer satisfied (music, lunch and equipment etc.). They will make an effort to meet high expectations. When we check the boat, we couldn't find any wholes in ceiling tile. We do maintenance our boat and keep clean everyday but will do check more carefully. Mahalo for sharing your experience. - Team KBOS
I participated in several other tours besides Kualoa Ranch, but this one was the most fun! The guide was kind and took safety into consideration. Additionally, since it has been a filming location for various movies, I now have the enjoyment of rewatching those films after returning home.
For those who will be joining the tour:
1. I think it's easier to bring a credit card. There are gift shops and snack stands, and if you have a bag, you’ll be asked to use a coin locker for $5. Payments can be made with a credit card, which is helpful if you don't have the exact $5. If you have a waist pouch, you can ride without putting it in the coin locker.
2. It's better to use the restroom before getting on the bus. On the way there, we shared rides from different meeting points, and in my case, we stopped at two more places before heading to the ranch, which took about an hour, and I ended up needing to go to the bathroom, haha. The bus driver didn’t mention the travel time or anything like that.
As long as you keep these points in mind, you shouldn't have any issues. I highly recommend this tour!
クアロア牧場以外にも何ヶ所か別のツアーに参加しましたが、ここが一番楽しかったです!ガイドの方も優しく、安全に配慮して下さいました。また、様々な映画のロケ地になっているので帰国してから映画を見返す楽しみもできました。
これからツアーに参加される方に
①クレジットカードは持参した方が楽だと思います。ギフトショップや軽食が買える売店もある他カバンを持っている人は5ドルでコインロッカーに入れるように言われます。支払いはクレジットカードでできるのでぴったり5ドルがない時に助かります。ウエストポーチならコインロッカーに入れなくてもそのまま乗馬できます。
②バスに乗車する前にお手洗いは済ませた方がいいです。行きは、バラバラの集合場所で相乗りになり、私の時はあと2か所に停車してから牧場に向かったので着くまで1時間くらいかかり、トイレに行きたくなりました笑バスの運転手さんも所要時間などそこら辺のことは言ってくれないので。
これだけ気をつければ困ることはないと思います。本当におすすめのツアーですよ!
There are several luaus that take place on the island of Kauai and I am not familiar with the others. Having said that, this show blew me away! I was not expecting such a beautiful, dramatic, outdoor setting, so many different types of dances, and a wonderful history of Hawaiian culture! My mother and I opted for the "show only" experience since we are not big carnivores. The check-in and tram ride were super efficient and helped to set the scene for the big show. As soon as the show started, I knew we'd made the right choice to see the Smith's Family Garden Luau. If you want an amazing experience for a very reasonable price, book this luau when you are in Kauai!
The driver was very cheerful, kind, and talkative, creating a bright atmosphere that put me at ease. Although I had heavy luggage on the way back, they kindly helped carry it during the ascent and descent.
とても明るく親切でおしゃべりな運転手さんで明るい雰囲気をつくってなごませてくれました。
重たい帰りの荷物でしたか昇降時親切に運んでくれました。
This was an awesome snorkel experience! We loved the smaller group and the fact that it wasn’t jam packed on the smaller boat. You have plenty of time and space at both locations to check out the reefs, fish, turtles! Ryan and Esteban were certainly among the best tour leaders I’ve ever had. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, but also relaxed. If you are experienced, you are free to be on your way and if you need extra assistance they are there too. Overall, definitely recommend booking this experience!
We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!
家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます!
On the way to the point on a large boat, there was live ukulele music, and the service of drinks and lunch made it very comfortable. The canoe and SUP experiences were fun, and all the snorkeling equipment was provided, allowing us to enjoy without having to bring anything.
The day I went, the weather was bad with some rain, and it was cold without any sunshine, so there were few people in the water until the very end. However, the ukulele performance on the boat kept us entertained, so I was satisfied with this service. The warm drink service to warm up my chilled body was also a nice touch.
If the weather had been good, I think I could have enjoyed the breathtaking scenery, but that depends on luck. One complaint I have is that the parking lot at the port is not very large. I happened to find a spot, but I think those who came by rental car would have trouble if there were no available spaces.
大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。
天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。
The weather in Hawaii can be changeable; there are warm days, but unfortunately, when the weather turns, it can get cold. Regardless of the weather conditions, we aim to provide tours that everyone can enjoy. Thank you for participating in the tour and sharing your experience. From all of us at KBOS.
ハワイの天気は変わりやすく暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。天候の善し悪しにかかわらず皆様が楽しんで頂けるようなツアーを催行していきたいと考えております。この度はツアーへのご参加、体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
I had a great time.
Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii offers breathtaking views and a variety of activities. You can enjoy the scenery while riding a buggy and take a tour of movie filming locations, all wrapped in the wonderful Aloha spirit.
とても楽しかったです。
ハワイのクアロアランチは絶景が広がり、アクティビティも豊富。バギーに乗りながらの景色や映画ロケ地巡りが楽しめ、アロハスピリットに包まれた素晴らしい体験が待っています。
