Hawaii
I was in Maui this time for two weeks, which I think is the perfect amount of time to be able to see and do everything you’d like and kick back a little. Our trip on the Trilogy was so much fun and we saw 2 whales and got a wonderful picture of a whale slap with his tail.. The crew and the captain were all very friendly and approachable. I would say to others thinking about taking this trip brink what you think you’ll need if it’s still April or before if it departs in the morning take a sweat shirt!! But definitely do this tour it’s something you’ll never forget!!
We signed up for a mountain bike tour for three people! Just before the tour, there was a video explanation with Japanese subtitles, which made us feel secure about the operation. The guide also explained everything again in English.
During the tour, we were shown filming locations from Jumanji and Jurassic Park, and they even took photos of us using our phones, making it a bright and fun experience.
We were able to feel the vastness of nature and see famous filming locations during the fulfilling two-hour tour. There are some ups and downs on the path, but with gear adjustments, even women can ride smoothly. It’s not just non-stop riding; there are breaks at scenic spots and filming locations, so it’s not too tiring. Since there can be mud splashes, it’s recommended to wear darker clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty rather than light-colored ones!
家族3人でマウンテンバイクツアーに申し込みました♪ツアー直前には日本語の字幕付きのビデオ解説もあり、操作は安心。同じことをもう一度ガイドのお姉さんが英語で説明してくれました。
ツアー中はジュマンジやジェラシックパークのロケ地を案内してくれ、私たちの携帯を使って写真を撮ってくれサービスもあり、明るく楽しいツアーでした。
広大な自然を感じることができ、有名なロケ地を実際に見て充実した2時間ツアー。アップダウンの道もありますがギアの調節をすれば女性でもスイスイ行けます。ずーっと走りっぱなしではなく景観の良い場所やロケ地などではバイクを降りて休憩もあるのでそれほど疲れません。
泥はねがあるので白っぽい服よりは黒っぽい汚れても良い服装がおすすめです♪
Arriving at the meeting place 10 minutes before the scheduled time, the bus was already there waiting for us. Terminal 2 is the same terminal for JAL and ANA, but they took us properly to the location of the airline we were using.
集合時間の10分前に集合場所に行くと、すでにバスは到着して待っていてくれました。ターミナル2は、JAL➡️ANAの順で同じターミナルですが、利用航空会社の場所まできちんと連れて行ってくれました。
On the day we visited, the Tornado was closed for maintenance, and it seemed that due to a staff shortage, only about three other slides were being opened alternately. It might have been because it was a weekday, but the park itself closed at 3 PM. I was hoping to enjoy a few more slides since it was a weekday, so I was a bit disappointed.
ちょうど私たちが訪れた日は、トルネードがメンテナンス中でクローズ、それ以外のスライダーも人手不足なのか、3つくらいを順番に交互に解放しているようでした。曜日的に平日と言うこともあるかもしれませんが、パーク自体も午後3時で閉園でした。平日なのでもう少し色々なスライダーを出来るかなと期待していたので、少し拍子抜けでした。
After passing through customs inspection and exiting through the left corridor, I found a staff member waiting with a sign bearing my name. As we walked together to the bus stop, there were a few other groups waiting as well. We waited together for about 15 minutes until both reserved and walk-in guests gathered, and then we boarded the bus. The driver was helpful in sorting and loading the luggage according to the destinations.
税関検査を出で左の通路から外に出ると、スタッフの方が名前のプラカードを持って待っていました。
一緒に歩いてバスの乗り場へ行くと、他に何組かのグループが待機していて、そこで15分くらい一緒に待機、予約と飛び入りの方が集まったところでバスに乗り込みましたが、ドライバーさんが荷物を行き先に分けて積み込んでくれたので助かりました。
The open-windowed van allowed me to feel the breeze and hear the pleasant sounds of birds chirping and the river flowing. I felt energized by the sacred atmosphere and enjoyed the informative and story-filled guide talk.
窓がオープンのワゴン車は風を感じられ、鳥のさえずりや川の流れる音が聞こえて心地よかったです。神聖な空気にパワーをいただき、情報とエピソードたっぷりのガイドトークが楽しめました。
A great tour, lead by 2 very professional guides, we felt completely safe. The turtles were amazing and the boat ride was cool. Thank you
Great fun and great crew! It was a blast and our guides were friendly and terrific. Definitely recommend. Fun to surf in a canoe.
Aloha Mel! We are so happy the captain and crew made for an excellent experience on the outrigger canoe! Catching waves on the canoe is truly a unique experience, here in the birthplace of surfing. Please come back to join us again soon
I participated in a buffet and show tour.
I was satisfied with both the quality and quantity of the food.
The show after the meal had comfortable seating, and I enjoyed it very much.
ビュッフェとショーのツアーに参加しました。
料理の質も量も満足です。
食事後のショーは座席もゆったりとして、非常に楽しめました。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflower 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。
12000 acres of beauty. The guides are super nice funny and allow you to trot or chill how you please. Not a boring nose to tail ride it was fun to go fast a few times and let the horses do their thing while seeing all the other animals. Definitely bring a jacket (or they have some), close toed shoes and jeans super cold and windy up there. Loved it!
After watching a video on horseback riding in Japanese, I spent about two hours horseback riding at the filming location of Jurassic World. I participated alone, but it was fun.
日本語の乗馬の方法のビデオを見た後、2時間ほどジュラシックワールドの撮影現場の乗馬をしました。
1人参加でしたが楽しかったです。
I participated in April 2023.
There are a lot of sea turtles! My wife said it was the most fun she had during our stay in Hawaii!
The Japanese guide teaches you various things, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
2023年4月に参加。
ウミガメ沢山います!妻はハワイ滞在中1番楽しかったと言ってました!
日本人のガイドさんが色々教えて下さるので安心して楽しめますよ。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific Tour. We are truly honored to hear that it was the most enjoyable experience during your stay in Hawaii! We are also glad to know that you felt comfortable participating with the support of our Japanese guide. We would be delighted if you could join us again for the Paradise of the Pacific Tour on your next visit to Hawaii. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you back. Mahalo!
この度はキャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ハワイ滞在中1番楽しかったとの嬉しいお言葉をいただき、とても光栄に思っております!日本語ガイドのサポートで安心してご参加いただけたとのことで、嬉しく思います。ハワイにお越しの際にはまたぜひ天国の海ツアーへご参加いただけましたら幸いです。スタッフ一同心からお待ちしております。Mahalo!
I was able to see a manta ray just at the last moment. Since I easily get seasick, I took some medicine before joining, and I was fine, but others were unfortunately getting sick. Also, it was colder than I expected. It's essential to have measures for warmth after coming out of the sea.
最後ギリギリにマンタに会えました。
船酔いしやすいので薬を飲んで参加したら、大丈夫でしたが、他の方はどうにももどしてらっしゃいました。
後、想像以上に寒いです。海からあがったあとの防寒対策必須です。
Thank you for the advice.
Even in warm Hawaii, the temperature drops significantly at night after the sun sets.
Especially after coming out of the ocean, the wind can make your body feel cold, so please bring a large bath towel or a jacket that you can throw on.
アドバイスありがとうございます。
一年中暖かいハワイも、夜、日が落ちた後はぐっと体感が下がります。
特に海から上がった後に風にあたると体が冷えますので、大きめのバスタオルや上から羽織れるジャケットなどをお持ちください。
Food was great but the show was even better! Great time!
The wait time for the meal was too long, so I left without seeing the show. I don't think I'll go again, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
食事の待ち時間が長すぎて、ショーをみずに帰りました。二度と行かないと思いますし、他の人におすすめもしません
Thank you very much for visiting Rockaflower Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We sincerely apologize for the long wait time for your meal. We will be in contact with the general manager to provide guidance to all staff for strengthening our customer service and operations in the future.

この度はロッカフラ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。
お食事の待ち時間に大変時間が掛かったことをお詫びいたします。総支配人と連絡を取り今後のカスタマーサービスとオペレーション強化のための指導をすべてのスタッフにしていく予定です。
今回のお声を有難うございます、これを機会に常に改善できるよう心がけていきたいと思っております。
The weather was cloudy, but I was able to enjoy myself. I would like to ride again next time! Thank you!
天候は曇でしたが、楽しむことが出来ました。
次回もまた乗りたいと思います!ありがとうございました!
The clear weather quickly turned, and as soon as we got on the buggy, it started to rain. When I looked back, the two guides were fully prepared, as if they had expected it. Almost everyone was soaked through to their underwear from the heavy rain. There was no time to enjoy the scenery at all. After the activity ended, we had about ten minutes until the shuttle bus arrived. There wasn't enough room to get on, and even if we did, there were no seats available. The return bus only comes once at 1:30, which is far too infrequent. I missed the rain gear at the vending machine at the reception.
快晴から一転、バギーに乗ってすぐに雨が降り出しました。振り返るとガイドの二人は予期していたのか完全防備。ほぼ全員、下着までずぶ濡れになる程の激しい雨。景色を見る余裕は全くなかった。アクティビティ終了後、10分程で送迎のバス時間。乗れないし、乗っても座れない。帰りのバスは1時半に1本で少なすぎる。受付の自販機で雨具は見逃す。
2 thumbs up. Crew was knowledgeable and made it a fun day.
We enjoyed the views as well as the stories and entertainment. Great family!
We set off on a boat with a handsome older brother! The weather was perfect with not much wind, and we were first in line. Although I was a bit nervous at the start, once we reached 150 meters, the breeze felt amazing, and we had a great view of Waikiki. We enjoyed a quick rendezvous!
イケメンのお兄さんと一緒にボートで出発❗️天気は最高で風はそれ程なく、順番は一番。上がり始めはドキドキしたものの、150メートルに到達すると、めっちゃ気持ちいい風の中、ワイキキを一望。あっという間のランデブーを楽しめました。
We had a great time driving the atv and my husband did nothing but splash in the puddles. The picture stops were beautiful and very informative. Vernon and Matt were wonderful tour guides!
The Bishop Museum was at the top of our list when it came to museums to visit. With an expansive exhibit in the Hawaiian Hall main building, they have everything from artifacts from the Hawaiian Royal Family to traditional medicine and religion. Do not miss this part of the museum - it's too important to miss!
There was also a kid-friendly Backyard Adventures Exhibit in the Castle Memorial Building, which my young son absolutely enjoyed. Each part of this exhibit is interactive and teaches kids about the seasons and bugs too!
The Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center is an amazing exhibit which houses their volcano exhibit and native flora and fauna. There is an amazing walk through of a dark maze backlit with colorful birds and plants. Don't miss this one either!
The Bishop Museum is a wonderful resource and cultural center for both locals and visitors. I highly recommend it and consider it to be among the most comprehensive publically available experiences on Hawaiian & Pacific culture. Don't miss the chance to visit!
Thank you very much for visiting our museum! I'm glad that you enjoyed the exhibits! Please come again! Thank you!
We arrived at the requested 8:45 am check in, but at 9:30 the shuttle showed up with the remaining tour guests? Then we had to move to accommodate a larger party. The musical entertainment and staff were marvelous and of course feeding the fish was awesome overall pretty cool, next time we'll kayak un ourselves
We feel very sorry for happening in the morning and mahalo for your patient. Hope you will join us again. - Team KBOS
I joined the tour with my wife, and we were a bit nervous as we worried about altitude sickness before we joined. However, we did not need to worry too much. The guide was so professional, and he made us relax in the large van of Mercedes-Benz. In addition, the distributed dinner, hot lasagna and chocolate cake helped us get adjusted in the rest area before we were elevated to the summit. In astronomical observation, I was able to see two shooting stars. I strongly recommend this amazing tour if you come to the big island.
My wife and I had a great time listening to stories and information from our very knowledgeable driver, Forest. He made the whole experience enjoyable and I can’t say enough about him.
My family and I had a great time out at the Sandbar. We have never snorkeled or been on a paddle boat. The crew was super helpful and made us feel very comfortable that at the end of the day we were all pretty good on SUP boards. The live music was awesome. Would definitely recommended to family and friends.
Mahalo for sharing your experience and the pictures! - Team KBOS
We cannot speak glowingly enough about the stargazing tour experience with Yoshi. He was such a knowledgeable and considerate guide. He had everything we could possibly need to be comfortable on top of the mountain, and it is so much more enjoyable making that trip as a passenger than as a driver. We cannot recommend the experience enough!
The sandbar was cloudy with occasional showers, making it not very beautiful, and it was cold with rainy weather. The snorkeling was a bit murky, and I didn't see many fish. The sixth day had bad weather, which was a bit disappointing, but the crew did their best to keep us entertained.
サンドバーも曇り時々シャワーであまりきれい見えず、寒くて雨模様。スノーケリングも少し濁りがあり余り魚に会えなかった。6日目が悪天候、少し残念ですがクルーの方は、一生懸命楽しませてくれました。
We participated with children. The explanations were in English, and we were able to see many fish. We also saw turtles, and the kids were very happy. Please be careful near the seats by the stairs for getting on and off the submarine, as seawater may fall there when disembarking.
子供連れで参加しました。解説は英語ですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。カメも見ることができ、子供たちは大喜びでした。潜水艦の登り降りする階段付近の席は、下船時に海水が落ちてくるのでご注意下さい。
I was on crutches from an torn ACL injury. The staff was super helpfully and helped me board and unboard the ferry safely.
