This time, I participated with my mother, who is in her mid-80s. Initially, we thought we would have to give up on joining the tour because of her age, but after doing some research, we found out that there was a beginner-friendly course, so we decided to participate.

Our guide, Hoku (a foreigner), explained the plants in fluent Japanese and was considerate of our walking pace. Thanks to him, we were able to return safely without any injuries.

The sandwich we had afterward at Tantalus Lookout was delicious. We were able to see a different side of Hawaii, distinct from the beach.

今回は80代半ばの母親と参加しました。当初母が高齢ということもあり、ツアー参加は諦めていましたが、いろいろ調べて見ると初心者向けのコースと分かり参加を決意。
ガイドのホクさん（外国人）は流暢な日本語で植物の説明をしてくださり、また歩くスピードにも気を遣ってくれました。おかげで怪我なく無事戻れました。
その後のタンタラスの丘で食べたサンドイッチは美味しかったです。ビーチとはまた違ったハワイの一面を見ることが出来ました。

I was looking for a place I had never been to and a tour I had never experienced before, and I found this tour. I have been to the Dole Plantation many times, but this was the first time I learned that you can take a factory tour right across the street.

On the day of the tour, it had rained the night before, so the ground was nicely damp, which was great. Our guide, Nori, took photos at various locations and also took us to sightseeing spots other than Haleiwa Town. I think it was because there were only a few participants that he was able to accommodate our requests.

今までに行ったことのない場所、経験したことの無いツアーを探していて、本ツアーを見つけました。ドールプランテーションには何度も行っていますが、向かい側で工場見学ができることを今回初めて知りました。
ツアー当日は、前夜に雨が降ってことで地面の土がほどよく湿っていて良かったです。
ガイドのノリさんは、場所場所で写真を撮ってくださり、ハレイワタウン以外にも観光名所に連れて行ってくれました。参加者が少人数だったのでリクエストに応えてくれたのだと思います。

I finally managed to convince my wife to go parasailing. At first, I was filled with fear, but according to her, once we were up in the air, we could see Diamond Head, the hotel we were staying at, and Waikiki Beach. It was the best location!

女房説得し、やっとパラセーリングをすることができました。最初は恐怖心でいっぱいでしたが、女房曰く上がってみるとダイヤモンドヘッドは見えるし、止まっていたホテルも見えるし、ワイキキビーチも見えるし最高のロケーションでした。

We participated as a couple. The scenery and content were outstanding, and we were very satisfied. Mr. Yamauchi, who was in charge, was very fun and kind, and his explanations about Maui and the starry sky were easy to understand, making for a wonderful memory. When we visit again, we definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。景色も内容も抜群で大満足でした。担当していただいた山内さんがとても楽しく親切な方でマウイ島や星空の説明も分かり易く素晴らしい思い出になりました。再訪した際にはぜひまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The prices are reasonable, and there's enough time spent floating to have a lot of fun. Above all, the quick transitions and the efficient putting on and taking off of equipment made it very time-effective, and it was great to see Diamond Head from the ocean. The time from gathering to dispersing is short, allowing for additional plans afterward. I felt that it was a good cost-performance ratio because I was able to enjoy it in a short time and was very satisfied.

お手頃な価格ですが、浮いている時間もソコソコあるので十分楽しめます。
なによりテキパキと交代、装備の付け外しをしてくれるのでとてもタイパが良く、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドも見られて良かったです。集合から解散までの時間が短いので、その後にも予定が入れられます。
短い時間で楽しめて満足度も高いのでコスパが良いと感じました。

I have always wanted to enjoy Hawaii from the sky, either by Cessna or helicopter, and I chose a Cessna guided by a Japanese pilot! As a result, I was able to fully enjoy Oahu, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.

- Honolulu area
- Kailua and Hanauma Bay
- North Shore area
- Kualoa Ranch
- Pearl Harbor

The guide provided a thorough tour over the course of an hour. It was such a luxurious flight! I was particularly thrilled when flying through the valleys of Kualoa Ranch and when I could see the entire sunken ship at Pearl Harbor. I believe this is an experience you can't have on the ground.

And of course, the ocean is incredibly beautiful and breathtaking! The clarity of the water varies by area, so you can enjoy different colors of the sea, such as blue, light blue, and emerald green.

If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend it as it will become a lifelong memory! Next time, I would like to try the piloting experience as well!

かねてから、セスナかヘリコプターでハワイを空から楽しみたいと思っていたのですが、日本の方がガイドしてくださるセスナを選びました！
結果、オアフ島を堪能できてとても感無量でした。
・ホノルルエリア
・カイルアやハナウマ湾
・ノースショアエリア
・クアロアランチ
・パールハーバー
など、1時間かけてたっぷりガイドしてくださいます。
とても贅沢なフライトでした！
特に、クアロアランチの渓間を飛んでいるときや、パールハーバーで沈んだ船全体が見えたときは胸が高まりました。
地上ではできない経験だと思います。

そして、海は言わずもがなとても綺麗で絶景です！
エリアによって透明度が違うので、青色水色エメラルドグリーンなど、いろんな色の海を楽しむことができます。

迷っている方がいれば、一生の思い出になるので是非オススメします！
つぎは操縦体験も経験してみたいです♩

This was such a great experience! Very organized, everything was nice and easy, the stuff was absolutely incredible! Great vibes, helpful and accommodating , going above and beyond for everyone to have a great time! We did the all inclusive package and it was perfect. The band was great as well and we had the best time! Highly recommended!!

It was a very enjoyable tour where we rode down on mountain bikes in an area we usually don't visit. My 80-year-old mother also had a great time. The guide was a really nice guy. We had a lot of fun.

普段自分達では行かないエリアで、マウンテンバイクで下る、とても気持ちのいいツアーでした。80歳の母も楽しんでいました。ガイドのお兄さんもとてもいい方でした。楽しかったです。

Captain Zack and his two crew mates were amazing hosts and experts at their job. We had a peaceful and informative boat ride followed by some good catches, a whale sighting, and turtle sighting. Really nice people, very professional, good times. Thanks guys! - Rich

Out of the nine participants, we were the only two Japanese, and my wife didn't understand any English at all, but it was really comforting to have explanations in Japanese. The guide didn't even take a break to eat and prepared everything for us, for which we are truly grateful. The starry sky was absolutely amazing, and I was reminded of the summer constellations like the Summer Cross and Subaru that I had studied long ago, which I had completely forgotten about. At the end, the guide spoke in English, passionately discussing the vastness of the universe compared to the shortness and significance of human life, which left a deep impression on me as I got into the car (though I think my wife didn't understand). Initially, I thought it was naive to try to climb Haleakalā by myself. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

９人参加の中で日本人は私たち二人しかおらず、妻は全く英語がわからなかったのですが、やはり日本語で解説されるとホッとします。ガイドさんは自分の食事も取らず、私たちのために準備をしてくれて本当に感謝です。星空も本当に素晴らしくてかつて勉強した夏の十字星やスバルなど久しぶりに聴き、すっかり忘れていたなと思い返しました。最後にガイドさんが英語でしたが、宇宙の壮大さに比べ、人間の人生の短さやその意義などを熱く語ってくれて感激して帰りの車に乗りました（家内はわからなかったと思うけど）。最初は自分でハレアカラに登ろうとしたことが本当に浅はかでした。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

Ziplining while enjoying the magnificent views at Kualoa Ranch was incredibly refreshing. There were three instructors with us, which made it very safe, but since the explanations were in English, I couldn't understand anything they were saying. When I expressed this, they showed me a video in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease.

数本のジップラインをクアロアランチの壮大な景色を見ながら行くのは、とても爽快でした。３名のインストラクターがついてくれて、とても安全に出来ますが、英語での説明でしたので、何を言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。それを伝えると、日本語のビデオを見せてくれたので、安心できました。

The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!

Doug and Josh are very detailed about all aspects which puts all at ease and Doug’s knowledge and way of speaking is engaging and adds to the experience!

True professionals!

I had an amazing time. The crew was fun and lively, and everyone was smiling the whole time. It might also be because of the clear weather, but the ocean and the streets of Honolulu were incredibly beautiful.

凄く楽しかった。クルーの人が楽しく盛り上げてくれて、皆　笑顔が絶えなかった。そして快晴だったせいかも知れないけど、海もホノルルの街並みも最高に綺麗。

Loved this tour - our tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable and we saw some beautiful spots of the island. Definitely recommend this trip as you get to see a lot in one day. My favourite places were the black sand beach with the sea turtles and the Volcanoes National Park (but to be honest, I loved all the sites).

The weather was favorable, and I felt very secure during the tour experience with a Japanese guide. There was also a practice session for snorkeling, making it a great tour that even children could enjoy safely.

天気にも恵まれ、日本人のガイドで非常に安心してツアー体験ができました。
シュノーケルの事前練習もあり、子どもでも安心して体験することができるいいツアーでした。

After visiting the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on November 18, 2025, I went to the Battleship Missouri Memorial. I was able to make an online reservation before departing from Japan, which made my visit very reassuring.

The Battleship Missouri was launched in January 1944 and participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa landings. On September 2, 1945, it served as the venue for the signing ceremony of the surrender documents between the Allied forces led by General MacArthur and the Japanese government delegation led by Foreign Minister Shigemitsu.

Later, in 1950, it was deployed during the Korean War, and although it was decommissioned in 1955, it was reactivated in 1986. It participated in the Gulf War in 1991, was decommissioned again in 1992, and arrived at Pearl Harbor in 1998, opening as a memorial the following year. The Missouri is referred to as the last battleship because it was the last to be completed and the last to be decommissioned.

There are Japanese-speaking volunteer guides on board who provide detailed information about the history of the Missouri, its main guns, and the surrender document signing ceremony, so I recommend requesting a guide.

There is a counter at the entrance where you can check in. After the guided tour, you can freely explore the ship. You can visit various areas of the battleship that are not typically accessible, including the bridge, the dining areas for senior officers and sailors, the sleeping quarters, and the ship's post office, making it a valuable experience.

2025年11月18日にパールハーバーのアリゾナ記念館を見学後、戦艦ミズーリ記念館を訪れました。
日本出発前にオンラインで予約が出来、安心して訪問する事が出来ました。
戦艦ミズーリは1944年１月に進水後、硫黄島上陸作戦や沖縄上陸作戦に参加し、1945年9月2日マッカーサー元帥率いる連合軍側と、重光葵全権率いる日本政府代表団との間で、東京湾上で行われた降伏文書調印式の会場となりました。
その後1950年に朝鮮戦争に出動、1955年に一度退役しましたが、1986年に再就役し、1991年に湾岸戦争に出動、1992年に再度退役し1998年にパールハーバーに到着し、翌年から記念館として公開されています。
ミズーリは最後に完成し最後に退役した事から最後の戦艦と呼ばれています。
艦内では日本語のボランティアガイドが常駐していて、ミズーリの歴史や主砲、降伏文書調印式の様子などを詳しく教えてくれますから、ガイドを依頼する事をお勧めします。
艦に登った所にカウンターがありそこで受付をしています。
ガイド終了後は自由に艦内を見学出来ます。艦橋を始め上級士官や水兵の食堂、寝室、艦内の郵便局など、普通目にする事が出来ない戦艦の様々な場所を見学出来るので貴重な体験です。

The two-hour horseback riding was quite long, so my rear ended up hurting, but it was worth it. I was moved when I walked through the forest and saw the ocean. Surrounded by the forests of Kualoa, I was truly awed by the magnificent scenery throughout. The guide spoke English, but even if you don't understand, you can still enjoy it enough.

Since the shuttle arrived early, we had quite a bit of time on-site. There was a good 2 to 3 hours to spare. You can look at the horses, visit the souvenir shop, and have lunch. There were also lockers available, which were convenient as they were the type you could easily access.

乗馬2時間は結構長いですので、おしりが痛くなりましたが、その価値はありました。
森の中を歩いて、海が見えたときには感動しました。
クアロアの森に囲まれて、本当に圧巻され、終始壮大な景色でした。
ガイドは英語ですが、理解できなくても十分楽しめます。

送迎は早めに着いたので現地でかなり時間がありました。
2～3時間は余裕があります。
馬を見たり、お土産屋さんを見たり、ランチを食べたりできます。
ロッカーもありました。取り出しができるタイプで便利でした。

The weather was slightly cloudy, but fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles! There were also many other fish, making it quite a sight.

There were about 10 participants on the tour that day, but I've heard that on some days, it can be close to 30 people. The morning time also had high visibility, making it easy to see.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, there were other tour groups, so it was quite crowded. They likely color-coded the participants with life jackets, so I don't think anyone would get lost.

The boat was rocking, but after entering the water, the waves were quite strong, and some of my companions and other tour participants returned to the boat to lie down. The seawater was very salty, making me thirsty. You might feel a bit nauseous, so please manage that with food or medication. Soft drinks and snacks seemed to be free.

After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The breeze was pleasant, and I'm glad I participated!

天気は、若干曇っていましたが、運良くウミガメを見ることができました！
他の魚もたくさんいて見応えがありました。

その日のツアーの参加人数は10人くらいでしたが、話によると、日によっては30人近くになるそうです。午前中という時間も、透明度が高く、みやすかったとのことです。

シュノーケルのポイントに行くと、他のツアーの方々もいるので、人が多いです。おそらくライフジャケットで参加者を色分けしており、迷子にはならないと思います。

船は揺れるのですが、海に入った後の波の揺れがかなり大きく、同行者やツアー参加者の何人かが船に戻り、横になっていました。
海水がとてもしょっぱく、喉が渇きます。
若干気持ち悪くなるかもしれないので、食事や薬などで調節されてください。
ソフトドリンクやスナックはフリーのようです。

シュノーケリング後は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルージング。風も気持ちよく、参加してよかったです！

I will be heading to the airport after stopping at several hotels. They will drop me off in front of the airline I am using. It was on time and smooth!

何ヶ所かホテルを経由して、空港に向かいます。
利用する航空会社の前でおろしてくれます。
時間通りでスムーズでした！

Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply impactful. To follow the drive through the Punchbowl National Cemetery and downtown Honolulu offered interesting insights into Hawaii’s history and culture

From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was inviting, the evening gave all guests a great mix of culture, cuisine, and excitement!!

The tour was well-paced, with ample time at the USS Arizona Memorial to reflect on its history.

The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting local stories. Well-organized and a great way to see the island’s highlights in one day.

A fun Hawaiian evening! The shell lei and included drink made for a festive welcome, and the luau dinner offered tasty traditional dishes!

The atmosphere was festive and authentic, making it a truly memorable evening.

the ATV tour through Jurassic Valley offered stunning views of the mountains and coastline

The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.

What an enchanting evening out on the water experiencing the wonderful manta rays of the Big Island!

This evening offered stunning sunset views over Kealakekua Bay, with live entertainment that added a festive, relaxing vibe!
