Hawaii
I am so glad my friends and I booked this! Check-in was easy, you don't have to lug a kayak anywhere yourself bc it's there ready to go, easy-to-follow map/instructions and you get plenty of time on the water. I'll do this again for sure!
Aloha Lauren! 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 and photos! Stoked to hear you had a great day kayaking with us, and we certainly hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
This was a great experience. The Captain was very attentive (I didn’t know how to snorkel but he took the time to try and guide me) the staff was super helpful and informative. They provided snacks and coffee. The water was beautiful and we saw lots of turtles. I would highly recommend this tour you will love it.
Mahalo for the compliments!. A hui hou!
When traveling with my family, we usually move between the hotel and the airport by rental car, but this time I used the shuttle for the first time for both trips since I was alone. It's reassuring that they will take you right in front of the hotel, even if you only speak Japanese. The interior and seats are spacious compared to a bus, making for a smooth and comfortable ride. I think it's more affordable and convenient than taking a taxi. It's very handy and cost-effective when there are fewer people, and I recommend it for those traveling to Hawaii for the first time.
家族で行く時は、レンタカーでホテル空港間は移動するのですが、今回は1人だったので初めて往復ともに使いました。
日本語しかわからなくても、ホテル目の前まで送迎してくれるので安心です。
車内も席もバスと違い広々していて、スムーズな移動で快適でした。
お値段もタクシーを使うよりお安くて便利だと思います。
人数が少ない時には大変便利でお得だし、初めてのハワイ旅行の方にもオススメです。
Amazing!!!! Great tour, including seeing multiple whale contacts.
Weather and boat were awesome, and the crew were amazing, being informative and making sure all the guests were happy and involved.
This was our second year of touring with this catamaran and even though I do not really like the water, it was fun, relaxing, and thrilling all at the same time.
The Crew was Awesome and the Sunset was Priceless. We had breaching whales all evening. Fun was had by the whole family. We were surprised when they served a meal, but it was delicious.
Hopefully will have another one soon! Everything was great!
We rented a car on the island and traveled to Hawaii as a mature couple. This time, we visited Oahu and Kauai. In Kauai, we were interested in the Fern Grotto and made a reservation for a sightseeing boat. After boarding, we enjoyed a luau while cruising up the river to the grotto. At the grotto, we listened to a delightful explanation in English. On the way back, we all sang together and had a great time. We couldn't make it to the hula dinner due to scheduling conflicts, but we were able to experience the atmosphere through this tour. I highly recommend it.
島でレンタカーを借りて、熟年夫婦でハワイ旅行しました。
今回は、オアフ島とカウアイ島。
カウアイ島では狙っていたシダの洞窟には観光遊覧船が気になっていて予約しました。乗船してからルアウ(古典的なフラ?)を見せて頂きながら、川を遡上し、洞窟まで行きました。洞窟では英語でゆかいな解説を聞けました。
帰りもみんなで一緒に歌を歌いながら楽しく戻ることができました。
フラのディナーに予定が合わず行けませんでしたが、こちらのツアーで雰囲気を味わえました。おすすめです。
I had a great time challenging myself with my grandchild and another person. I asked for the departure location, but I was given directions to an unrelated area. When the time came, I returned to the reception to ask again, and to my surprise, it was right next door. I was told to go to the Atlantis boarding area, and the guidance was unacceptable.
孫と3人で挑戦でとても楽しかったです。
出発の場所を聞いたのに関係ない方角を教えられ、時間が来てしまったので受付まで戻り聞くとびっくりです。隣でした。アトランティス乗り場をおしえられ、案内が悪かったのはありえませんでした。
Truly the best day ever! So much fun on this boat…fun and friendly crew, amazing musicians, tons of activities…couldn’t have asked for anything more! Super family friendly but also great for an adult day of fun. You can bring your own cooler with alcoholic beverages and your own food to ensure you have whatever you need on board. I only wish it had been longer!
Mahalo for your great review! - Team KBOS
My son and I had an amazing time bouncing around in our own ATV!! The tour guides were informative and safety conscious. The land was beautiful as were the views from the mountain top! We had numerous photo ops. They even let us go maximum speed for the last portion of the trail!! I highly recommend this tour!! The farm is a lot of fun too. We were able to pet the horses and the many cats that made the farm their home. We saw wild pigs! We were even able to feed the goats!
It was very cold from the morning, just as I expected. I was disappointed when the thunder started halfway through, but the live performance quickly lifted the gloomy atmosphere!
朝からとても寒く、予想通りでした。
途中から雷も鳴り始めがっかりしていましたが、生演奏などで落ち込んでいた雰囲気も一気に晴れました!
The weather in Hawaii can be changeable; there are warm days, but unfortunately, the weather can also turn bad and become cold. However, I am very pleased to hear your words that "the atmosphere that was downcast brightened up instantly with live performances!" Thank you very much for participating in the tour. 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寒いこともあります。でも”生演奏などで落ち込んでいた雰囲気も一気に晴れました”とのお言葉を聞き大変嬉しく思っております!この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
We had a great time! The dancers, food, and everything was enjoyable!
The food, service, and tour was amazing!!! Big shout out to captain Mario & his crew for making us feel like home.
Shiloh(sp?) on bus #3 was amazing! He was very informative and had a great way to keep everyone engaged! We really took a lot away! The Kids had a blast and we would highly recommend! (Very little walking)
Mahalo for joining us!
We had the best experience with our two five-year olds! They were both got a little nervous about the snorkeling and the crew patiently offered different options until they agreed to the kick boards with lenses. A big hit!! We saw a variety of fish and enjoyed the beauty (and history) of Cooke Cove The slides were also entertaining as the kids watched different people (including mom and dad) zoom down!! If you are concerned about the all veg breakfast and lunch, don’t be. As meat eaters, we all agreed the food was outstanding. To top it off, the Captain’s historical knowledge and witty comments made the ride to and from the coral reefs a lot of fun. We highly recommend tour!
The friendliest crew, amazing musicians, fun activities, and beautiful scenery! Wonderful afternoon on our last day of vacation. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Mahalo for your review & kind words! - Team KBOS
I rode the smallest mountain bike. It was tough at first, but once I got used to it, it was a breeze. I rode 9.5 kilometers, and since it was electric, I didn't get tired at all going uphill! I was worried about the weather in the morning, but by the time of the activity, it had cleared up completely, and the greenery of the mountains was even more beautiful. The color of the sea from the high ground was incredibly stunning and moving!
However, the path was muddy, and the splashes from the bike tires were quite something. It was a rare experience to get muddy at my age. Since the weather was uncertain, it was a good idea to bring a change of clothes (there are paid lockers available in the park that you can access). My bag was also a waterproof one, which was a smart choice. My daughter was able to borrow a bike, so I think it's fine if you don't have one.
Since there were only two participants, we could enjoy our time and take photos freely. The guide spoke only in English, but it was very easy to understand, so it worked out. I think anyone who can ride a bike normally can participate; it felt amazing to cut through the wind and ride through Kualoa!
マウンテンバイクは一番小さいのに乗りました。
最初に乗る時は苦労しましたが、慣れてきたら余裕でした。9.5キロも走りましまが、電動なので坂も全然疲れません!朝から天気が心配されましたが、アクティビティの時間にはすっかりお天気になり、山の緑がいっそうキレイでした、高台からの海の色もめちゃくちゃキレイて感動!
ただ、道がねかるんでいて、自転車のタイヤからの泥はねがすごかったです。この歳でどろんこになる貴重な体験でした。お天気があやしかったので着替えを持って行っていたのが正解でした(園内に出し入れ可能な有料ロッカーあります)。カバンもウォーターバックでしたので、それも正解。娘は貸してもらえてましたので、無くても大丈夫だと思います。
参加が2人だけでしたので、時間や写真も自由にフリーの状態て楽しめました。ガイドは英語のみですが、とても聞き取りやすく、何とかなりました。
自転車に普通に乗れる人でしたら参加可能だと思います、風を切ってクアロアを走り抜けるのは最高に気持ち良かったです。
My family and I really enjoyed our tour. The scenery is astonishing. Mesmerising view. Our tour guide/driver Precious was very entertaining, friendly, and enthusiastic. Hopefully we can back again to try other tours.
My 3 teen daughters and I had a great trip. Julia was a fantastic tender and our capain was so helpful all around. The BBQ was enjoyed by all. We made 3 mini stops along the way, first at the sandbar, next at a turtle watching spot and finally snorkeling where we saw 2 turtles and a ton of fish. Highly recommend!!
The tour guide is very nice, given a lot of information about which movies were filming at which spots.
I get anxious snorkeling and this was a fantastic alternative. The guide was super knowledgeable and funny. My 5 year old son loved it too and we could chat about what we were seeing in real time, which I loved.
Definitely need sunscreen! We enjoyed this tour, especially the historic importance of the place. Take a lot pictures.
We loved this tour. We were able to do some sightseeing and enjoyed a full day at PCC. The drivers were great too, very knowledgeable.
The next time we visit, I'll probably pick a different tour. The views great but nothing spectacular at all.
The trip was great. Roy our driver was knowledgeable about so many things and share it all with us. We learned a lot about the island, food, and couture.
It too bad we had to load the bikes in a trailer and get in the vehicle because we were not allowed to ride through the neighborhood area.
Sunrise was beautiful, bike ride down was fun.
Great experience.
Roy was the best.

We had a great day touring Oahu with Travis. We hit many scenic stops and several food stops. This was a fun way to tour the island and learn about the history and culture. I would highly recommend doing this tour.
The volcanic activity has already calmed down, allowing us to see the areas where lava has flowed and solidified. However, gas is still continuously being emitted, and we can observe that extensive volcanic activity is occurring underground from above.
It was both terrifying and moving to see from the helicopter how the lava flowed over a vast area, causing an entire village to disappear.
I received an email the day before asking me to confirm my reservation by phone, but I was participating in another tour, and when I tried to contact them, no one answered the emergency contact number. Even after leaving a message on the voicemail and sending an email, I received no response.
Moreover, despite it being clearly stated that lunch was included, when I asked the guide around noon, I was told that this tour did not include lunch, and I was even laughed at. I found out on the day that the flight times to Hawaii Island and Oahu Island were completely different, which really stressed me out.
I at least wanted lunch to be provided. For some reason, I was taken to a Japanese-owned bakery in a rural town that I had no interest in, and I wondered what the point was of being asked in advance what I wanted to eat.
The guide provided very little explanation about historical events or legends, mostly just talking about the eruptions from a few years ago. I was disappointed as the stories were only what I had already read in the news or guidebooks.
すでに火山活動は落ち着いているので、溶岩が流れて固まった後をみることができ、まだガスは継続して出続けているので、広大な範囲で火山活動が地下で起こっていることも上空から見ることができます。
ものすごく広い範囲に溶岩が流れ、村ひとつが消滅していってしまったことがヘリから見られて、恐ろしくもあり、感動でもありました。
前日にメールが来て、予約確認の連絡を電話するように書かれて来ましたが、別のツアーに参加していて連絡が遅くなると閉まっていて緊急連絡先にさえ誰も出ず。留守番電話にメッセージを残しても、メールで返事をしても向こうからの返信はありませんでした。
しかも「昼食付」としっかり書かれていたのに、12時頃にガイドに聞くと、このツアーには昼食は付いていないと言われ、かつ、鼻で笑われました。ハワイ島に向かう飛行機の時間も、オアフ島に向かう飛行機の時間も全く違うことが当日に分かり、本当に焦りました。
せめて昼食は出してほしかったです。なぜか全く興味のない田舎町の日本人経営のパン屋に連れていかれましたが、事前に食べたいものを聞かれた意味はなんだったんでしょうか。
ガイドも歴史的なことや伝説はほとんど説明がなく、数年前の噴火の話ばかり。ニュースやガイドブックに載っていた話だけだったのでがっかりでした。
Thank you for your patronage.
However, we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations during the helicopter tour, even though you were enjoying it.
Upon reviewing your feedback with the local operating company, we found that flight information was communicated via a separate email, and there are records of replies to that email and return phone calls. Additionally, it was reported that lunch was provided on the day of the tour. However, since you mentioned that you did not receive the service indicated, we take your comments seriously and will strive to improve our services in the future.
We have also sent you a separate email with further details, and we would appreciate it if you could check that.
We apologize for not being able to provide the service you expected this time. We will continue to confirm with the local operating company and begin reviewing the tour page to ensure that similar inconveniences do not occur in the future, while working to enhance our services.

It was a wonderful experience. The local taxi driver mentioned that one hour wasn't enough, but two hours was quite physically demanding. The guide who accompanied us (a part-time trainer?) spoke English, so it was simple English, but I couldn't understand the warnings when I didn't catch what was being said, and I had to interpret and convey it to the participants. There wasn't much guidance regarding the filming locations; it felt like we were just riding horses. The horses were very smart and occasionally took off running, but they would slow down properly when they caught up to the horse in front. The next day, I had such muscle soreness that walking was difficult, but since I was just returning home, it wasn't a particular problem. I went with my 12-year-old daughter, and she really liked the calm horse and enjoyed herself. Since she is part of a sports club, it seems she didn't have any muscle soreness at all.
とても素晴らしい体験でした。
地元のタクシー運転手が1時間じゃ物足りなかったと言っていましたが、2時間はかなり体力がいりました。
一緒に回るガイド(調教するアルバイト?)も英語なため、簡単な英語でしたが聞き取れないと注意されている内容が分からず、参加しているこちらが通訳して伝える必要がありました。ロケ地に対してはガイドもなく、ひたすらに乗馬をしている感じです。馬はとても賢く、ときどき走り出しましたが、前の馬に追いつくとちゃんとゆっくりになってくれます。
翌日、筋肉痛で歩くのが難しいくらいでしたが帰国だけだったので特に問題はありませんでした。
12歳の娘と行きましたが、娘も大人しい馬をとても気に入り、楽しんでいました。もともと運動部に所属しているので、彼女は筋肉痛は全くなかったようです。
This time, I participated in a limited-capacity monitor show without meals, along with my girlfriend on her first overseas trip. I initially thought there would be many Japanese tourists, but over 80% of the audience was foreign, and the energy was very much in line with international standards, which made it interesting and enjoyable.
The show started with dances and music that touched on Hawaii's history and culture. In the middle, Elvis and Michael joined in, and the show heated up to its peak. As a fan of Elvis and Michael, I certainly enjoyed it, but my girlfriend, who isn't very familiar with Western music, was also thoroughly satisfied and had a great time.
The production and music were wonderful, and overall, it was a very captivating show. Furthermore, the expressions and gestures of the performers conveyed their pride in and love for their culture. It was a valuable experience to understand Hawaii's culture and history and to connect with the charm of the land.
I highly recommend this fantastic show to everyone. Next time, I would like to make a reservation that includes a meal! You will have an amazing night, so definitely consider participating! Mahalo!
今回は食事無しの人数限定のモニターショー初海外旅行の彼女と2人で参加しました。
日本人観光客が多いのかなとの印象でしたが8割以上が外国人の方で盛り上がり方も海外仕様でその点も面白く参加できて良かった。
ショーの内容は前半はハワイの歴史や文化に触れる踊りや音楽からスタート。
中盤からはエルヴィスやマイケルが参加しショーはヒートアップし盛り上がりが最絶頂でした。
私はエルヴィス・マイケルのファンでもちろん楽しむこともできましたが、
洋楽をあまり知らない彼女も十分満足し楽しんでました。
演出や音楽も素晴らしく、全体として非常に魅力的なショーでした。さらに、出演者たちの表情や仕草から、彼らがその文化に誇りを持ち、心から愛していることが伝わってきました。ハワイの文化や歴史を理解することができ、その土地の魅力に触れることができた貴重な体験でした。
全ての方におすすめできる、素晴らしいショーでした。
次回は食事ありで予約してみたいと思います!
最高の一夜を過ごせるのでぜひ参加してみてください!
マハロ!
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella 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 your next visit to Hawaii, and we hope you will join us again. Next time, we would love for you to enjoy the Luau Buffet & Show.
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、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。次回は是非ルアウブッフェ&ショーでお楽しみ頂ければかと思います。
We had the best time on our clear bottom kayak tour! We saw sea turtles, manta rays, snorkeling, and did bridge jumping. Our guide was the best and the whole experience was great! We had a family of 4 with a 9 year old and 12 year old. They loved it! I highly recommend doing this tour!!
