Hawaii
Our guide Mason was fantastic! Great ukulele! Interesting history of the Hawaiian Islands and how they became port or the US. Scenery was great. Tunnels were fun!
Exceeded our expectations! The tours and guides are excellent. Buffet lunch was good.
This is my second experience. Last time, we had a fairly large group for an hour, but this time we challenged ourselves with a smaller group (6 people) for two hours. It was an experience with wonderful views of the sea and mountains. My wife, who experienced it for the first time, was very impressed, and we would like to try it again if we have the opportunity next time.
今回で2回目の体験になります。
前回は、1時間で結構な人数で体験しましたが、
今回は少人数(6名)のグループで2時間に挑戦しました。
海と山の素晴らしい景色を見ながらの体験です。
今回、初めて体験した家内も大変感動しておりました、次回も機会あれば体験したいと思います。
As others have mentioned, it does get quite dusty, but you can experience it for a long time, and moving through the great outdoors is a great way to relieve stress.
他の方も書かれている通り、砂埃まみれになりますが、かなり長い時間体験できますし、大自然の中をぐんぐん進むのはかなりストレス発散になりました。
My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.
My husband and I did this trip with our 20 and 14 year olds. We all enjoyed it. The boat scenery is beautiful the grotto is an amazing site and the music and entertainment on the way home was nice. We all even participated in the hula lesson.
The perfect activity to do on one of your getaway days, was so great to learn the history, and the challenges of the locals with survival on just daily living, on Kauai.
Was so good to be out on a very nice boat, but even better to be out with a captain and crew with great positive energy!! Took my 16 yo,14yo,7yo with and we all had a great time with great memories!, even had dolphins ride the wake of the boat for a bit!
I was able to visit the filming location of my favorite Jurassic Park, and since it included a 2-hour horseback ride, I chose this plan without hesitation. Although we couldn't stop at the filming location, I was very satisfied because I got to enjoy the beautiful scenery!
大好きなジュラシックパークのロケ地に行けること、2時間の乗馬がセットだったので迷わずこのプランを選びました☺︎
ロケ地に立ち止まることは出来なかったですが、綺麗な景色を見て回れたのでとても満足しています!
Due to the typhoon, I was unable to arrive on the day of the activities, and I really appreciated the quick change you made for me! I had wanted to try parasailing, so it became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I made the reservation. ☺︎
台風の影響でアクティビティの日に到着出来なくなり、急遽変更お願いしたところずらしていただき本当に助かりました!
パラセーリングはしてみたかったのでいい思い出になり予約して良かったです☺︎
The driver didn't seem to speak Japanese, but they provided clear terminal guidance, so I had no trouble at all. They also took the initiative to help with loading and unloading luggage. However, the ride comfort was a bit lacking, but it was a unique vehicle typical of overseas, so it wasn't a problem at all. I would like to use this service again.
ドライバーは日本語はできないみたいだが、ターミナル案内はしっかりやってくれて全然困らない。荷物の積み降ろしも率先してやってくれた。ただ、乗り心地はいまひとつかな、でも、海外ならではの車で、全然問題ありませんでした。次も利用したい。
I participated with my child (a college student). Since there was no transportation provided, we walked a lot from our hotel, which was near Honolulu Zoo. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. Once we flew, the view was spectacular, and we enjoyed a different side of Hawaii. They don't provide drinks, so it's best to bring your own.
子供(大学生)と2人で参加しました。
送迎なしでしたので、泊まっているホテルが、ホノルルズーの近くで、ひたすら歩きました。集合場所が、わかりづらかった。
飛んでみるとかなりの絶景で、また違うハワイを楽しめました。飲み物とかは出ないので持って行くべきです。
It took some time to pick up the suitcase, but the person who greeted us followed up perfectly. The response was very smooth.
スーツケースの引き取りで時間がかかりましたが、出迎えの方がキッチリとフォローしてくれました。とてもスムーズな対応でした。
The show was super entertaining! 10/10.
The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10
Aloha Noah and mahalo for this review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the show and the food at the luau. We're really sorry about the drinks, we'll inform the team and try to make it better. Hopefully we'd see you again the next time you're on the island! Mahalo!
The crew and the team were awesome. The excursion was truly memorable.
It was great that children as young as 2 years old could board. Our three generations, including a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, had a wonderful time! When we were chasing dolphins, the 2-year-old stayed on the boat and was delighted to see the dolphins from the second floor, saying they were cute. The 5-year-old tried twice but ended up crying because the mask didn't fit. The 7-year-old was in great shape! They enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, and the slide more than any of the adults, diving in multiple times. Thank you to Maki and the other crew members for being so kind and attentive.
2歳から乗船可能性で助かりました。5歳、7歳の子どもも含め3世代で楽しむことができました!イルカを追う時は2歳の子は船で待機、2階からイルカの姿を見て可愛い♡と喜んでいました。5歳の子は2回挑戦しましたがマスクが合わず泣いてしまいました。7歳は絶好調!イルカも海亀もスライダーも、大人たちの誰よりも楽しんで何度もダイブしていました。まきさん始め他のクルーの方々も親切丁寧で、ありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University with your family, including your 2-year-old child. I'm glad to hear it became a wonderful memory for your summer vacation. Please join us again; we look forward to seeing you! Mahalo!
Aloha! うさぎのしっぽ様
この度はイルカ大学へ、2歳の小さなお子様も含めて3世代でご参加いただきありがとうございました。
夏休みの素敵な思い出になったようで嬉しく思います。
是非またご参加くださいね。お待ちしております。
Mahalo!
Very professional and nice guides. Great views with ocean, MT, cows, sheeps and wild pigs. The trail is very nice , mostly green grass, quite smooth ride. I am glad we did a bit canter, wish more though. Overall very fun and good experience!
We had a lot of fun on the tour Ridge was amazing and gave us a lot of good local history and knowledge. If he didn't know the answer to a question he found it out for us. We'd highly recommend this tour to anybody looking for a great day on the island.
Aloha, Barbara!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! Ridge is indeed a fantastic guide, always eager to provide local history and insights. We're thrilled to hear you had a lot of fun and enjoyed the tour. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another great day on the island in the future! Mahalo again!
I participated with my 20-year-old nephew. We were a bit worried since both of us get motion sickness, but the boat didn't rock much, so it was fine. There were five groups of ten people, including us, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The moments of going up and down were thrilling, and during the descent, they made it a bit of a steep drop and let us down into the sea, which was a lot of fun. The view from above was breathtaking, and it was the best experience. I definitely want to participate again!
20歳の甥と2人で参加しました。2人とも乗り物酔いをするので少し心配していましたが、ボートもあまり揺れずに問題ありませんでした。私たち含め5組10人でしたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。上がる時と降りる時はスリリングで、降りる時は少し急降下させたり、海に降ろしたり、楽しませてくれました。上での景色は絶景で最高の体験ができました。またぜひ参加したいです!
The guides, reception, bus attendants, and tour guides were all in English. Therefore, I could only understand the atmosphere, but it was a lot of fun.
The pickup was from a nearby hotel. The bus, which had a capacity of 50 people, had seats like those in a Mercedes. On the way there, it felt about half full. On the way back, it was almost at full capacity. Upon arrival, we gathered with various tour guests and received a brief explanation. After that, we had free time until the reception time to change clothes, put our belongings in lockers, or look for souvenirs. It’s a good idea to head to the respective tour locations by the reception time.
As for the actual tour, we rode in buggies lined up in six rows, stopping about five times along the way for the guide to explain the filming locations and scenery. Of course, I didn’t understand any English, so I just got the general vibe.
Also, since it had rained the day before, there was no dust, but there were about five small ponds, and my wife and I jumped right in, getting completely soaked! So, if you want to dive into the ponds, changing clothes is a must. We stopped at about two spots that felt like Jurassic Park, and at the gate of Jurassic Park, my wife took pictures while sitting in the passenger seat of the buggy, so there were no issues.
Overall, it was a lot of fun, and the guide was super high-energy, telling lots of American jokes, which was great (even though I couldn't understand). I’d love to come back once I can speak English.
After the tour, the bus departs pretty much on time, so let’s head to where we got off. If you don’t get on early on the way back, there might not be any seats available.
ガイドさん、受付、バスの案内人、ツアーの案内人、全て英語です。
そのため、ほぼ雰囲気でしかわからなかったですが、とても楽しかったです。
ピックアップは、近くのホテルから。
50人乗りの内装がベンツのシートのバスでした。行きは半分くらい埋まる感じ。帰りはほぼ満席でした。
現地に到着し、いろんなツアーのお客さんをまとめて、ざっと説明あり。その後、受付時間まで自由時間。着替えやロッカーに荷物入れたり、お土産見たりします。
受付時間には、それぞれのツアーの場所へ行くと良いでしょう。
さて、実際のツアーですが、6列並んでバギーで走行し、途中5回くらいとまり、ガイドさんから撮影現場や景色の説明がありました。
もちろん当方全く英語わからないので、雰囲気で理解笑
また、前日雨が降っていたため、埃は舞いませんでしたが、小池スポットが5ヶ所くらいあり、夫婦で思いっきり突っ込んだため、びしょびしょになりました笑
そのため、小池に突っ込みたい人は着替えは必須です。
ジュラシックパークっぽいところに2箇所くらい止まりましたし、ジュラシックパークのゲートのところは最後バギー乗りながら助手席の妻が撮影してくれたので、何も問題なかったです。
とにかく終始楽しかったし、ガイドさんもめっちゃハイテンションでアメリカンジョークたくさん話すので、とても良かった(理解はできなかったけど)
英語をできるようになったらもう一回来たいですね
ツアー後は割と時間通りにバスが出ますので、降りたところに行きましょう。
帰りは早めに乗らないと席がないかも。
I have visited Hanauma Bay on my own many times, but this time I participated in a snorkeling guide tour for the first time. They secured the entrance tickets, which are difficult to book, and we were able to enter right away. Just that alone made me feel it was worth joining the tour, but what really impressed me was the snorkeling guide. When I snorkeled on my own, I wasn't sure how far I could safely go or where to find different fish. However, during the one-hour tour, I was able to see many fish that you can only see in deeper waters in Okinawa, and I was very satisfied. The Hanauma Bay I experienced with the guide was completely different from what I had seen before. I'm really glad I participated!
If I could wish for something, I would have liked to snorkel longer, so I hope there will be a tour that allows for a bit more snorkeling time, even with breaks. I would love to do this again. It was a bit chilly, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. Getting underwater photos was also a great memory!
何度もハナウマ湾には自力で来ていましたが、今回初めてシュノーケリングガイドのツアーに参加しました。
予約が難しい入場券もとって頂き、入場もすぐに入れ、それだけでもツアーに参加して良かったと思いましが、感動したのはシュノーケリングのガイドでした。個人でシュノーケリングしていた時は、どこまでは安全にシュノーケリングできるのか?どこにどんな魚がいるのか?良くわからなかったのですが、1時間の間で、沖縄だとダイビングしないと浅瀬では見られない様な魚を沢山みることができ、とっても満足しました。ガイドの方について見たハナウマ湾は、今まで見ていたものとは大違い。本当に参加して良かったです!
欲を言えば、もっと沢山シュノーケリングしたかったので、休憩をはさんでもう少し長くシュノーケリングできるツアーがあれば良いなとおもいました。またリピートしたいです。少し肌寒かったので、ウェットスーツレンタルお勧めです。水中の記念写真を撮ってもらえたのも良い思い出になりました!
I boarded with my two small children, and it didn't rock too much, so the kids had a great time! The view was completely different from what we usually see from the beach; we could see beautiful beaches, the airport, and even the commercial buildings of Hawaii from halfway across the island. I want to participate again!
小さな子供2人を連れて乗船しましたが、そこまで揺れず、子供も楽しめました!
いつもビーチから見る風景とは全然違い、美しいビーチや、空港、ハワイの商業ビルまで島の半分側から全て見渡せるほどでした。
また参加したいです!
レビューを残していただきありがとうございます!私たちのサービスを楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またお越しいただけることを心よりお待ちしております!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
It's very close to Hilton Village, and after enjoying the pool and lagoon, you can walk to the meeting point in your swimsuit!
ヒルトンヴィレッジからとても近く、プールやラグーンを楽しんだ後そのまま水着で歩いて集合場所まで行けます!
Best island for heli-tour, best experience in our life, best heli-tour and best pilot Samantha! 100% worth it!! Thanks a million for everything Mauna Loa Helicopter Tour!
Aloha Vlad & Nataly! Mahalo Nui Loa for flying with us! We are so happy you enjoyed your private helicopter tour.
It's been decades since I last rode a catamaran, and since there was no sunset time setting, we boarded during the day. Even those who are weak on boats can enjoy it without worry. I knew the front would get splashed, but there were unexpected big waves. One of my companions' phones ended up submerged. It needed repairs right after returning home.
Seeing Waikiki from the sea while being blown by the wind allows you to spend a wonderful time. I got a good sunburn in those two hours, so make sure to take proper sun protection measures.
何十年ぶりのカタマラン、サンセットタイムの設定がなかったので昼に乗船
船に弱い人でも安心して楽しめます。前のほうは波をかぶることわかっていたのに、予想外の大波。同行者の携帯が水没状態。帰国後すぐに修理でした。
海からみるワイキキは風に吹かれながらマラマな時を過ごせます。この2時間でしっかり日焼け。日焼け止め対策はしっかりしましょう
I will be simple and straight, please see my following points.
1. I booked sit down dinner, not buffet, overall food presentation look good, taste good too. Drinks are good too.
2. Service is just so so, the server for my table never gets me things I asked for, example, refill water, lemon, and my second glass of drink, I understand it's a busy task and have to serve all plates and take finishing plates away, and each server takes care of couple tables, but this should not be used as an excuse for service quality.
3. The show is good, but it's kind short, I wish we can see the full stage of Luau show, but the center stage is pretty small, so in order to accommodate every guest, they always have couple dancers on each side,
I participated yesterday on my honeymoon. I was grateful that they taught my wife and me how to use the Segway with great care and attention. The lecture was entirely in Japanese, and it was reassuring to know that it was featured on Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation. I was glad to join as they also shared local hidden spots and dining recommendations.
新婚旅行で昨日参加しました。妻と2人だけのペアで懇切丁寧にセグウェイを教えて下さって有り難かったです。完全日本語レクチャーで、有吉の夏休みでも取り上げられていたところで安心できました。現地ならではの穴場スポットやお食事処も教えていただき参加して良かったです。
The meeting place is the Aloha Landing bus stop at Sheraton Waikiki (I waited on the bench in front of the Plumeria wall). It seems that a location close to the hotel you are staying at is chosen. I had read articles that if you are even a little late overseas, you can be left behind, so I arrived 20 minutes early to stand by. I noticed a group of people dressed similarly (in clothes that could get dirty), so I approached them and found out they were gathering for the bus to Kualoa Ranch. (There was no announcement from the attendants, though.) I was asked to show my passport or credit card for identification, and I was able to board the bus without any issues!
I had read other people's experiences and watched YouTube posts beforehand, so I was well-prepared for the details of the tour and dust protection. Although I couldn't take photos in front of the iconic tree from Jurassic World as shown in the tour photos (I knew this in advance, so I wasn't oddly disappointed), I was able to take plenty of pictures at other shooting points. My favorite photo is one where I used perspective with a dinosaur figure!
The explanations are all in English, but the guides were friendly and full of humor, so even those of us who don't understand English had a great time. I was advised to wear long pants, but I participated in shorts, and it was no problem at all. Regarding the dust, the upper body gets quite dirty. I had purchased a T-shirt at ABC Store the day before, ready to throw it away, and that was a great decision.
Goggles and a neck warmer (both of which can be borrowed at the reception) are essential during the ride! Including travel time and experience time, it takes about half a day to a full day, but both my husband and I were very satisfied and glad we participated in the tour!
集合場所はシェラトンワイキキのアロハランディングバス乗り場(プルメリアの壁の前のベンチで待ちました)泊まっているホテルから近い場所がチョイスされるみたいです。海外では少しでも遅れると置いて行かれるとの記事を読んでいたので、集合の20分前には到着しスタンバイ。気付いたら似たような格好(汚れてもいいような服装)の人たちの集団があったので、近寄ったらクアロア牧場行きのバスの集まりでした。(アテンド係の声掛けはありませんでした汗)本人確認のためにパスポートかクレジットカードの提示を求められ、無事バス乗車!
事前に他の方の体験談を読んだりyoutebeの体験投稿を見て行ったのでツアーの詳細や砂埃の対策も充分にしていきました。ツアー写真にあるような、theジュラシックワールドの大木、看板の前での写真撮影は出来ませんでしたが(事前に知っていたので変にがっかりする事もありませんでした)その他の撮影ポイントでしっかり写真撮影出来ました。特に恐竜の人形を遠近法を使って撮った写真がお気に入りです!
説明は全て英語で行われますが、ガイドの方は気さくでユーモアに溢れている方たちで英語が分からない私たちでも十分に楽しめました。
服装は長ズボンで、ことでしたが半ズボンで参加しました。全く問題ありませんでした。砂埃の汚れについてですが、上半身はかなり汚れます。私は前日にABCストアでTシャツを捨てる覚悟で購入していたのですが、大正解でした。
走行中はゴーグル・ネックウォーマー?(←いずれも受付で貸してもらえます)が必須!!
移動時間、体験時間含めて半日〜1日はかかりますが、それでも参加して良かったと夫婦共に大満足なツアーでした!!
Tour driver was knowledgeable and was funny too. She knew the History and insight on the area.
Beautiful river excursion; would have loved more time and not so rushed at the Grotto. One song seemed lame. Wanted time to take pictures of foliage on way down. Definitely would not recommend for wheelchair guests. It was steep and pavement unfriendly to wheelchair wheels and very steep and slippery incline uphill.
Entertainment on way back was very fun and good.
The scenery was absolutely stunning. There was a bit of rain during our visit, but it might have helped reduce the dust. The staff's stories were interesting, but it was a shame that I couldn't understand enough English. There are many filming locations from movies, so watching and familiarizing yourself with films like Jurassic Park, Jumanji, and Kong beforehand might enhance your experience.
とにかく景色が最高でした。私たちの時は途中少し雨がパラついたのですが、その分埃が少なくなってくれたかもしれません。スタッフの話も面白かったのですが、英語が十分に理解できなかったのは残念です。とにかく映画のロケ地が多いので、事前にジュラシックパーク、ジュマンジ、コングなどを見て覚えておくともっと楽しめるかも。
