Hawaii
Fun and sunny day on the gorgeous Captain Cook bay!
Nothing beats the beauty held within all the winds of Hana
Aloha Kara - Mahalo for spending the day with us! Love how you describe Hanaʻs beauty!
A hui hou,
Poly Ad Ohana
We got lucky and got a few mantas so the night was worth it!
Aloha Kara! We are so happy you were able to experience the magic of snorkeling with Manta Rays! Thank you for joining our tour, we hope you come back soon. Mahalo
Really beautiful waters on Maui, crystal clear and we liked the afternoon time start!
Thank you for joinin us!
Absolutely stunning tour- loved the island of Maui so much!!
So much goodies in 1 day- we loved the Kona coffe and cannot stop thinking about it!
Great crew and lovely time. The snorkeling was a little deep, but the abundance of turtles made up for it. The snacks and sodas for the sail were very welcome. Wonderful time for all!
A lovely evening full of fun memories! Great food too.
First, I enjoyed a buffet while watching hula. The food was very delicious, and I was satisfied. There were many dishes, and I ended up eating too much. There was also a simple hula lesson; I didn't participate, but I enjoyed watching.
After the meal, we moved to the venue to watch the show. The seats were not assigned, but the staff asked how many people were in our group and guided us. Since I was alone, I was shown to a seat in the fifth row from the front, which was available.
The content included hula and other performances, and it was very satisfying. After the show, there was a greeting session where they offered photos and autographs, which I thought was impressive!
まず、フラをみながらビュッフェを食べました。
お食事もとても美味しく、満足しました。品数も多くついつい食べすぎてしました。
簡単なフラのレッスンもあり参加はしませんでしたが、みて楽しめました。
食事の後は、会場に移動してショーを観覧しました。
席は指定ではないのですが、人数を聞かれてスタッフに案内されていました。私は1人だったので空いていた前から5列目の席に案内されました。
内容もフラとその他、満足感のある内容でした。
ショーの後もグリーティングなどがあり、写真やサインも対応していてすごいなぁと思いました笑
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella 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。
When I arrived at Kualoa Ranch by bus, it was drizzling, and at times it got stronger, so I was worried about whether we could enjoy the experience. However, after borrowing a raincoat, it cleared up and I was able to comfortably participate in the tour!
There was one instructor and about six participants, including myself, and we rode horses for about an hour and a half. We were able to enjoy the vast nature while visiting the filming locations of movies. The horses were very well-behaved and participated in the tour calmly, mostly without needing much direction from us.
The tour was conducted in English. Before participating, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so they confirmed the meeting place and time for me, allowing me to join without any trouble or confusion!
After the horseback riding, we had some time before the return bus, so I looked at souvenirs and bought some drinks and ice cream to enjoy.
バスでクアロアランチに着いた時はパラパラ雨が降っていて、時に強くなることがあったので体験ができるか心配していました。カッパを貸してもらって出発後は晴れて来て、快適にツアーに参加できました!
インストラクターさん1人と、私含め6名の参加者と約1時間半ほど?乗馬をしました。
映画の舞台を巡りつつ、広大な自然に癒されました。
お馬さんもとてもお利口で、ほとんどこちらの操作?なしでも一列で並んで穏やかにツアーに参加できました。
ツアー中は英語での参加でした。
参加前は日本語対応のスタッフもいてくれたので、集合場所や時間を確認して教えてくださり、困ったり迷わず参加することができました!
乗馬後帰りのバスまでに時間があったので、お土産を見たり、飲み物とアイスを買って食べたりしました。
The crew was super nice and made us feel at home. Food and drinks were great and of course the views and activities were the highlights of the trip!
The meeting was at 4 PM, and the start was pushed back to 5 PM instead of the planned 4:30 PM. We had kept our schedule flexible, which was good, but I felt it would be better to allow more time in the schedule.
Since several groups board the boat at the same time to head out to sea, the boat repeatedly stops and goes while waiting. Depending on the day, the waves can be high, so some people might experience significant seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to it take motion sickness medication beforehand.
It was my first time parasailing, and at first, the thrill was incredible, but once I got used to the height, it was amazing. From 150 meters up, you can see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head all at once. My family was thrilled and said it became a wonderful memory. My son, who is 8 years old, was scared at first but started shouting that it was the best part halfway through.
I highly recommend it!
集合が16時集合、16時半スタートが17時スタートと30分押してスタート。私たちはその後、予定をアバウトにしていたので良かったですが、時間は余裕を持ってスケジュールした方が良いなと感じました。
ボートで沖合まで出るのと数組同時に乗り込むので、船で待機している間は縦横無尽にボートはストップ&ゴーを繰り返します。また日によっては波が高いので、かなり船酔いされる方もいるかもしれません。弱い方は酔い止めなど飲まれていくことをオススメします。
パラセーリング初めてでしたが、初めはスリル感がハンパじゃないですが、高さに慣れてくれば最高でした。
150mからワイキキビーチ〜ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望出来ます。家族も最高の想い出になったと喜んでいました。息子も8歳で初めは怖がってはいましたが、途中から最高と叫んでいました。
是非オススメです。
I chose the bicycle option.
I went shopping in Kailua Town, then returned to the shop to change and went to Kailua Beach for bodyboarding.
I rode my bike to Lanikai Beach to take photos.
At the shop, I was able to rent a cooler bag, chairs, and a bodyboard, so it was comfortable at the beach.
However, even though the beach is close, it was a bit difficult to carry everything, so it's better to keep your belongings to a minimum.
I had a very enjoyable time.
The staff were also kind.
オプションは自転車を選択
カイルアタウンで買い物して
ショップに戻り着替えてカイルアビーチでボディーボード
自転車でラニカイビーチへ写真を撮りに行きました。
ショップでクーラーバックや椅子、ボディボードが借りられてのでビーチで快適でした
ただ、ビーチは近いけど持って行くのが大変だったので荷物は最低限がいいかな
大変楽しい時間でした
スタッフも優しく、
Dear Kotaro,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed Kailua Beach and Kailua Town. When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit us in Kailua again. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you.

I was honestly skeptical about encountering wild dolphins since it's all about luck, but I dove twice and encountered dolphin pods both times! Fortunately, I was able to see a sea turtle, which left me thrilled! The tour was packed with snorkeling and activities. Above all, the Japanese guide and the professional photographer were very considerate of all the participants and always interacted with us in a friendly manner. It was a tour that made me truly feel like I want to come back again!
野生のイルカは運だから、と正直半信半疑でしたが2回潜って2回ともイルカの群れに遭遇!幸運にもウミガメを見ることができ感激しっぱなしでした!
シュノーケルやアクティビティーもあり内容の濃いツアーでした。またなんと言っても日本人ガイドさんとプロカメラマンさんが私たち参加者全員を気遣ってくださり常にフレンドリーに接してくれました。また帰って来ますね‼︎と心から思えたツアーでした‼︎
Thank you for uploading so many wonderful photos! Please come and visit again. A Hui Hou.
素敵な写真をたくさんupしていただきありがとうございます!
是非また遊びに来てください。

We had a family of 10 with kids. They all had a great time. The dancers were beautiful. The kids especially liked the fire dancers. The food was great with a great variety. The bar service was fantastic. The only negative was the heat at that time of day. But other than that we had a blast! Would do it again!
Amazing. Crew were outstanding, music onboard was fantastic. Sand bar was absolutely beautiful.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
The local tour was very satisfying! The bus to the destination took a while to arrive, and when it finally did, it passed the meeting point and picked up passengers in front of a different hotel. Fortunately, someone else was inquiring about the bus information from the tour company, and we found out it was indeed the pickup bus, which saved us from any issues. However, I think it would be reassuring to have the bus company's information in advance and to receive updates if there are any changes to the pickup location.
現地ツアーは大満足です!
行きのバスがなかなか来ず、来たと思ったら集合場所前を通り過ぎて別のホテルの前でピックアップになりました。たまたま他の方がツアー会社にバスの情報を問い合わせていて、迎えのバスであることが分かりことなきを得ましたが、事前にバス会社の情報や、ピックアップ場所の変更があれば新しい情報が分かると安心できるかなと思いました。
The show was good and the service was great. Loved the lei. I found out that I am not a fan of Hawaiian cuisine. That is just me.

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this museum. The exhibits were more fulfilling than I expected, with many displays about the Hawaiian monarchy and photographs from that era, which were quite moving. You can deepen your knowledge about Polynesian culture as a whole. There are two guided sessions in Japanese at 10:30 and 11:30. We arrived at 10:45 without knowing this, but we negotiated and were allowed to join the 10:30 session (it might be a good idea to check in advance the days and times when the Japanese guide is available). In addition to the museum, there are facilities for children (playgrounds), a planetarium, and a science center, but these are not particularly impressive.
何度もハワイに旅行しましたが、こちらのミュージアムは初めて訪問しました。予想以上に充実した展示内容で、ハワイ王朝やその時代の写真展示も多く、感慨深かったです。ポリネシア文化全体についての知識を深めることができます。10:30~、11:30~の2回、日本人ガイドによる簡単な説明もあります。私たちは知らずに10:45に到着しましたが、交渉して10:30の回に入れていただきました(日本語ガイドの開催される曜日や時間は事前に確認した方がいいかもしれません)。ミュージアム以外にも、子供向けの学習施設(遊び場)、プラネタリム、科学センター等併設していますが、これらはさほどたいしたことはありません。
Thank you very much for visiting the Bishop Museum! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Hawaiian Hall Complex, which is one of the highlights of our museum where you can explore the history, culture, and traditions of Hawaii and Polynesia through our exhibits. Currently, we are offering tours at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM for about 30 minutes as much as possible after the pandemic, but as you mentioned in your comments, checking in advance will allow us to provide you with the latest information. We have special exhibitions that change periodically and new additions to our permanent exhibits, so we hope you will enjoy the museum again next time!
この度はビショップミュージアムへのご来館、誠にありがとうございました!展示品からハワイとポリネシアの歴史、文化、伝統をご覧いただける当ミュージアムの一番の見所とも言えるハワイアンホールコンプレックスをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたら私共も嬉しい限りです。パンデミック後の現在は10:30amと11:30amから約30分のツアーを可能な限り開催しておりますが、コメント頂きましたように事前にご確認頂けますと最新の情報をお伝えすることができます。期間で展示が変わる特別展や、新しく常設展示に加わるものもありますので、またどうぞ次回もミュージアムをお楽しみ下さい!
I arrived in Honolulu from Kahului in the evening. There was no one at the meeting point specified in the email and voucher. I mustered the courage to call and inquire in English, and I was able to successfully meet the driver, who took me alone in a large shuttle bus to my hotel in Waikiki. Since most flights from Japan arrive in the morning, I thought it might be a bit confusing if you request a pickup at other times. The driver was very kind.
カフルイからホノルルに夕方到着。メールやバウチャーで指定されていた集合場所には誰もいませんでした。勇気を出して英語で電話で問い合わせた所、無事運転手さんと合流でき、大きなシャトルバスに私だけを乗せて、ワイキキ周辺のホテルまで送ってもらえました。日本からの到着便は朝が多いので、それ以外のタイミングで送迎をお願いする場合は、ちょっと戸惑うかも知れないなと思いました。運転手さんはとても親切でした。
There are various options for airport transfers, but I chose to use the shuttle service because it was affordable. All communication was in English, and they were very kind and helpful without any issues. They also provided great support with handling my luggage, which made things easier. I would like to use this service again next time.
空港からの送迎は、色々ありますがシャトルで安価な設定であったため、利用しました。言葉はすべて英語の対応でしたが、何も問題なく親切に対応してくださいました。荷物の出し入れもしっかりサポートしてくれて楽でした。
次回も利用したいと思います。
Daddy/ daughter time horseback riding. I asked my daughter tonight on our last day of our vacation. What is your favorite on all our activities, she said Gunstock Ranch Horse back. I agree with her also. Recommended to do it when you go to OAHU… they are not as crowded like the other ranch near by… also for the money spend,
Friendly staffers.
I had a wonderful time. The staff were also very kind. The breathtaking views made the flying time feel like it passed in an instant.
・とてもすてきな時間をすごすことができました。スタッフの方々も親切です。飛んでいる時間があっという間に感じるほどの絶景でした。
It was easier to ride than I expected. After just a few minutes of instruction, we were able to ride and set off with a small group!
Two staff members were assigned to lead and ensure safety, allowing us to move smoothly. The leading staff also took videos and photos of our group with our personal cameras, which was great because it meant we had proper records of our experience, not just riding.
We took various explanations and commemorative photos along the way, and the time flew by.
I still wanted to ride more, so I thought I would like to come back again.
After we finished riding, we were grateful to receive cold drinks and fruit. However, on the final survey form, there was a note about tipping, and some people in our group said they hadn’t been informed about it until the very end. While I understand that tipping is customary in Hawaii, I believe this should be clearly stated somewhere, and the survey form, which seemed to demand a tip of 20-30% of the tour fee like a restaurant, should be revised.
If this information were communicated clearly to customers before they sign up, I don’t think we would have had complaints like those from our group. It’s also important to ensure that the fun mood at the end isn’t dampened.
The tour itself was excellent.
思っていたより簡単に乗れました、ほんの数分の講習でもう全然乗ることができ数人で出発❗
二人のスタッフが先導と周りの安全確認するのに分けれていてくれたので、私達はスムーズに移動でき、先導スタッフが個人の携帯のカメラでグループごとの動画や写真を撮ってくれていたので、ただ乗るだけではなくきちんと記録が残るので良かったです。
所々で色んな説明や記念写真も撮ったりしてあっという間の時間でした。
まだまだ乗り足りない、もっと乗っていたかったのでまた乗りに来たいと思いました。
乗り終わったら冷たい飲み物やフルーツも頂き有り難かったですが、最後のアンケートの用紙にチップが記載されており、私以外は団体グループで最後の最後に聞いてないと言う人達がいました、たしかにハワイでのチップはあると思いますが、チップの件はどこかに記載するべきだと思いますし、レストランのようにいきなりツアー料金の20〜30%のチップをよこせと言わんばかりのアンケート用紙も変更した方が良いと思いました。
まずは申し込む前のお客さんにしっかり伝わるようにしていただいていたら、今回の団体さんみたいな苦情までは行かないとは思います、最後の最後に楽しかった気分をかえさないようにするのも必要ですね。
ツアー自体は最高でした。
We are glad to hear that you found it easy and enjoyable to learn how to ride a Segway. Our staff is dedicated to ensuring that everyone can experience a fun and safe Segway tour just like you did. In the United States, it is customary to tip for customer service provided by restaurant, hotel, and tour activity staff like ours. Tips are at the discretion of the guests. The booklet you received with the "post-tour survey" also includes our tipping guide, offering guests the option to leave a "recommended" amount (we suggest 15%, 18%, or 20% based on your experience). While tipping is not mandatory, many workers in the U.S. rely on tips as a significant part of their income.
THE SEGWAY OF HAWAII TEAM
セグウェイの乗り方を学ぶのが簡単で楽しいと感じていただけてうれしく思います。私たちのスタッフは、皆様が皆さんと同じように楽しく安全なセグウェイ ツアーを体験できるよう、懸命に取り組んでいます。アメリカでは、レストラン、ホテル、そして私たちのようなツアー活動のスタッフに対して、顧客サービスに対してチップを渡します。チップはゲストの裁量により決定されます あなたが受け取った「ツアー後のアンケート」が記載された小冊子には、私たちのチップ表も含まれており、ゲストが「推奨」金額を残すオプションを提供しています(経験に応じて、15%、18%、または20%をお勧めします)チップを受け取る必要はありませんが、アメリカでは、多くの労働者が給料のかなりの部分を受け取っているのです。

I was able to start my trip comfortably! It was really great that they responded quickly and courteously after I arrived!
旅のスタートを心地よく始められました!着いてからも素早く丁寧に迅速に対応してくださって本当に良かったです!
I enjoyed having options to kayak, snorkel, and use SUP. The best part was riding the banana boat, it was so fun. I loved the staff and musicians and the fact that they were so welcoming. Only thing I wish they had was an underwater camera to rent and buy pictures like other snorkeling tours in Maui. Other than that, my family and I would definitely use this tour again

There were not enough life jackets provided for the number of people on the tour, so I had no choice but to search for an emergency life jacket (which was covered in dust) under the chair and wear it. Other families also had their children wear the emergency jackets while the adults jumped into the sea without any life jackets. The waves were quite high, and I felt a real danger to my life.
I was able to see the manta rays properly, but due to the confusion with the life jackets, my viewing time ended up being about 15 minutes shorter than those who entered the water earlier, which was really disappointing.
ライフジャケットがツアーの人数分用意されておらず、仕方なく緊急用のライフジャケット(ホコリだらけ)を椅子の下から探して着用しました。他の家族も子供のみ緊急用を付け、大人はライフジャケットなしで海に飛び込む始末。波も相当高く、命の危険を感じました。
マンタ自体はちゃんと見れましたが、ライフジャケットのゴタゴタで、先に入水した参加者より鑑賞時間が15分程短くなってしまったのが、本当に残念です。
Dear Family Traveler,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University program. We also appreciate your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
We apologize for any discomfort caused by the slightly strong winds and waves during your experience. Regarding the use of life jackets, it is mandatory for children under 12 years old on the Big Island, while it is optional for adults. Therefore, we ask about life jacket preferences during the tour check-in and provide them before departure.
On the day of your tour, we confirmed that more customers than usual requested to wear life jackets after departing the harbor, based on the sea conditions.
We take your comments seriously and will use them to improve our crisis management and services, ensuring that our customers can participate in tours with confidence and enjoyment.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

この度はマンタ大学へ参加いただきありがとうございました。また、お忙しい中貴重なコメントを頂き重ねて感謝申し上げます。
風や波がやや強めの海のコンディションの中、不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ありませんでした。
ライフジャケットの着用につきまして、ハワイ島では12歳以下のお子様に対しては着用の義務がございますが大人は任意となっております。そのためツアーのチェックイン時に着用の希望を伺い出航前にお渡ししております。
当日はハーバーを出航後に海のコンディションを見てライフジャケットを着用したいと要望されたお客様が通常よりも多くいらっしゃったと確認しました。
お寄せ頂いたコメントを真摯に受け止め、今後お客様に安心して楽しくツアーに参加していただけるようさらなる危機管理とサービスの改善に役立てたいと存じます。
この度は貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。
It was an activity that included everything you can do in Hawaii. Snorkeling from the boat was a great experience. The dinner was all-you-can-eat and drink, and it was a good value!
HAWAIIにいるからできることがすべて入ったアクティビティでした。船からのシュノーケリングは良い体験です。夕食も飲み食べ放題、コスバ良し!
We participated as a family of six and had a private tour. It was everyone's first time, but our guide Noni provided careful instruction and guidance in Japanese. For those who are not proficient in English, I recommend the Japanese guide.
The outward journey was quite challenging due to the headwind, but Noni regularly checked in on everyone's condition to decide whether to turn back, and we managed to reach the cave. The return trip was quick.
Considering everyone's stamina, we decided to do the snorkeling in the bay. We had a very enjoyable and fulfilling time. Noni took a lot of photos for us!
Although it was an early morning course, the sunlight became increasingly intense, so a rash guard (preferably with long sleeves) and a hat are essential. Wearing gloves might make paddling easier. Shoes that can get wet are recommended, but going barefoot is also fine.
You can bring valuables in a waterproof bag, but I think just a phone and a tip would suffice. You will receive one bottle of water, but if needed, you might want to bring an extra bottle.
I'm not very good at swimming, so I felt safer snorkeling in the bay. They also lent me a kickboard, which made snorkeling enjoyable. Noni mentioned that the waves are calmer in the morning in Hawaii, and since the tour ends by 10:30, you might feel a bit tired, but you can make good use of the afternoon, so I recommend the early morning course.
家族6人で参加。貸し切りでした。みんな初めてでしたが、ガイドのノニさんが日本語で丁寧に指導、誘導してくれました。
英語が得意な方以外は、日本語ガイドがおすすめです。
行きは向い風でなかなかハードで、ノニさんが、みんなの体調も考慮しながら、引き返すかどうか、都度確認してくれながら、なんとか洞窟まで辿り着きました。
帰りはあっという間でした。
みんなの体力的なものを考えてもらい、シュノーケリングは湾で行うことにしました。
とても楽しく充実した時間をすごせました。
ノニさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれました!
!
早朝のコースでしたが、段々と日差しがキツくなるので、ラッシュガード(できれば下も)帽子は必須。軍手があったほうが漕ぎやすいかも。
靴は濡れてもいい靴で。裸足でも大丈夫です。
貴重品は防水バッグに入れて持っていけますが、携帯とチップくらいでいいと思います。
お水を1本もらえます。必要であれば自分でも1本くらい持って行ってもいいと思います。
私は泳ぎがあまり得意ではないので、湾でのシュノーケリングの方が安心でした。ビート板も貸してもらえたので、シュノーケリングも楽しくできました。
ハワイの海は早朝の方が波が穏やかだとノニさんが言ってましたし、10時半には終了するので、少し疲れていますが、午後からの時間も有効に使えるので、早朝コースがおすすめです。
