Hawaii
One recommendation would be if guests can get off and take pictures of the helicopter crash and skull bones.
I booked this tour with a Japanese guide because my husband doesn't speak English, but the guide and the other participants were all from English-speaking countries and knew zero Japanese. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I was a bit surprised.
旦那さんが英語を話せないので日本語ガイド付きのこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、ガイドおよびツアー参加者が英語圏の方で、日本語はゼロ。ツアー自体は楽しかったですが、少しびっくりしました。
Thank you very much for participating in the Nature and You Manoa Falls Hiking Tour. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by our mistake in not assigning a Japanese guide.
この度はネイチャーアンドユー・マノアの滝ハイキングツアーにご参加いただきまして誠に有難う御座いました。弊社の手違いで日本語ガイドがアサインされておらず大変ご迷惑お掛け致しました。謹んでお詫び申し上げます。
What a great experience! Kayaking on the ocean, whale watching, entering a cave and wrapping it up with a bit of snorkeling! Jasmine was a great guide and her confidence on the open waters really enhanced our adventure. It’s definitely a morning well spent!
I was lucky to be able to make a reservation as there were still openings the day before! I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and relaxing on a float in the beautiful waters of Kaneohe Sandbar (when I went, the water was about waist-deep), and after that, I was able to go on a short snorkeling trip to see the coral reefs. During snorkeling, I saw three large sea turtles, which was fantastic. There were also cute eels! It was great to enjoy cocoa on the boat along with spam musubi and snacks! Since it’s compact and enjoyable in the morning, I think it’s perfect for those with a shorter stay. There was also a Japanese staff member, so I think those who are not confident in their English will feel at ease. Don’t forget that it can be cold getting out of the water in winter without a towel!
前日にまだ空きがあり、予約できてラッキーでした!
カネオヘサンドバーという綺麗な海(私が行った時は腰くらいまでの深さでした)でSUPをしたり、浮き輪で浮いたりのんびりしたあとに、短いコースですがサンゴ礁シュノーケルができました。
シュノーケル中3匹も大きなウミガメが見れてとても良かったです。かわいいウツボもいました♪
船の上でココア飲んだりスパムにぎりやお菓子もいただけてとても良かったです!
午前でコンパクトに楽しめるので、滞在が短めな方にはぴったりだと思います。スタッフさんに日本人の方もいたので英語苦手な人も安心だと思います。
タオルがないと海から上がったあと冬場は寒いと思うのでお忘れなく!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm glad to hear that you were able to see sea turtles and fish while snorkeling. It's also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the other activities. We hope you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you back.

Great food, excellent service, beautiful show, and wonderful atmosphere!
Fun cruise. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Fun, enjoyed the music and narrative. Good history of the area
We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunset Cruise on the Majestic. We picked a beautiful evening to experience the sunset and bonus was the whale. I was able to get a picture of the whale along with numerous sunset shots. The reception, music, and service was top notch. I would highly recommend this cruise.
Aloha Kathie !
Mahalo for you for your five-star review. We're happy to hear you enjoyed our sunset cocktail cruise experience aboard Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. We provide a wonderful and relaxing venue to enjoy Waikiki's vibrant sunset and we're thrilled to hear you loved the experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
I was able to walk through the jungle-like trees and feel the essence of Hawaii, enjoying the rare and precious scenery along with the refreshing air. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of water at Manoa Falls for the tour, but the lunch sandwich was delicious, and I'm glad I signed up for this tour.
ハワイらしさを感じるジャングルのような木々の中を
歩いて珍しい貴重な景色や清々しい空気で気持ち良く
参加する事が出来ました
正直、マノアの滝ツアーとしては滝の水の量が
少なくて少々残念に思いましたが
ランチのサンドイッチも美味しく頂けましたし
このツアーに申込んで良かったです
The scenery was amazing!
But 150 is quite high!! Haha
Please be careful when choosing.
Our cap didn't have a mandatory tip, but it was so great that we paid 40 for the two of us.
景色最高でした!
でも150はかなり、高い!!笑
選ぶ方は気をつけてください。
私たちのキャップはチップ強制ではありませんでしたが、最高だったので2人で40払いました
The best tour ever. Went with this tour 4-5 times already and we absolutely love it. I took all my visitors there! All my friends and families love it. The stuffs are super friendly and they are the best people. The boat caption , Kevin is the nicest guy ever. So much activities to do : kayak , paddle board , snorkeling and banana boat. Perfect for family with kids too. Just absolutely amazing! We had the best experience and definitely will go back again. Mahalo you guys for the best time we love you guys!
Mahalo for joining our tour again, kind words and great review! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
Excellent experience! The Paradise Team was very kind all the time and pilot share a lot of information during the flight. Definitely a must of Oahu.
This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!
Staff were so kind and fun, we had a great time snorkeling amazing!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Currently, due to the impact of COVID-19, most shuttle tours are not being conducted, so I booked this parasailing experience near Waikiki. I had a reservation at 11 AM and planned to take the trolley bus and walk there, but the trolley took a long time to arrive... so I ended up taking a taxi.
There were 10 people on the boat, including us, plus 2 staff members. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, so I didn't get seasick! The staff was always cheerful, and even though the guide spoke English, communication was easy enough. It was my first time parasailing, and... the result!! It was incredibly fun!!! The moment we took off was the most thrilling. Once we were in the air, it surprisingly didn't sway much, and we had a relaxing time. Before landing, we did get a nice splash into the sea, which was funny! I was so excited that I also purchased photos for $40. Overall, it was so much fun that I want to do it again soon!
現在、コロナ禍の影響で送迎付きツアーがほとんど実施されていないので、ワイキキ近辺で出来るこちらのパラセーリングを予約しました。
11時の予約でトロリーバスと徒歩で向かおうとしたのですが、トロリーがなかなか来ず…結局タクシーで行きました。
船は私たち入れて10名+スタッフ2名。
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので船酔いはせずすみました!スタッフさんは常に陽気で英語ガイドですが問題ないくらいコミュニケーションもとれます。
初めてのパラセーリングでしたが……結果!!めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!!!
旅立つ瞬間が1番ドキドキでした。空に上がってからは意外と揺れずにゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。着地の前にはしっかり海にボチャされます笑。でもまたそれがおもしろい!
気持ちも高まって写真も40ドルで購入しました。総合的に楽し過ぎてまた早くやりたいです!!
While riding, the car shakes violently, giving a sensation similar to a roller coaster. Additionally, the scenery visible during the ride and when getting on or off is very beautiful, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. The tour lasts about an hour and a half, which was more than enough to fully enjoy it. I believe it's worth going to Kualoa Ranch just for this experience.
走行中は車が激しく揺れ、ジェットコースターのような感覚です。また、乗車中や途中で下車した時に見られる景色はとても綺麗で、大人も子供も楽しめると思います。
ツアー時間も約1時間半もあり、十分満喫できました。
これを乗るためだけにでも、クアロアランチに行く価値はあると思います。
The staff spoke Japanese, so the safety explanations, including sending signals if someone was in danger of drowning, were very clear. My husband couldn't swim very well, so we planned to wait on the boat, but thanks to the staff, we were able to go snorkeling.
It was fun to use the SAP and floaties. The spam onigiri, snacks, and macadamia nut coffee were also delicious.
Since it was cold in February, I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.
日本語が話せるスタッフでしたので、おぼれそうになったらサインを送る等安全面含め説明がとても分かりやすかったです。主人がほとんど泳げませんでしたので船で待機する予定でしたが、スタッフの方のおかげでシュノーケリングができました。
SAPや浮き輪も使えて楽しかったです。スパムのおむすび、スナック菓子、マカダミアナッツのコーヒーもおいしかったです。
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織るものをお持ちいただいた方がよいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed snorkeling and other activities! We hope you will join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

I understood the meeting time, but my English skills were not sufficient to catch the details, so after gathering, I wasn't sure what to do. As time passed, I thought it was strange and asked the staff in my limited English, and they helped me out. I was able to check the operation methods through a Japanese video and could operate without any issues. They explained the filming locations along the way, but I couldn't catch most of it, which made me feel sad. The buggy ride itself was fun.
英語能力が足りず集合時間は理解できたのですが、細かいところが聞き取れず集まった後どうすればよいのかわからず時間経過しておかしいなと思い、スタッフにつたない英語で質問し事なきを得ました。操作方法は、日本語ビデオで確認でき問題なく操作できます。途中ロケ地の説明をしてくださるのですが、ほとんどキャッチできず悲しい思いをしました。バギー自体は楽しかったです。
Kimo our tour guide was just wonderful!
Highly recommend this tour. Kimo is very knowledgeable about Hawaii, we all learned so much from him! He made the tour so much fun!
Kimo is a great fun loving guy!
I will start with our driver ernie he so nice and good made the drive not boring...The Historical sites of the Pearl Harbor was amazing and ghostbumps..feeling the history that I only read and watch on YT
Mahalo for joining us! Pearl Harbor is a really special place indeed! Glad you made time to visit with us!
I know, I know, everyone likes to use the words “best” “amazing” “trip of a lifetime” THIS excursion IS absolutely THE best trip you will book! It may seem a little pricey, but the time, care, and knowledge that our tour guide Travis invested in our group was top of the line!
First of all, do not underestimate the “cold” warnings. It was frigid, cold to the bone so, dress appropriately! If you have a beanie, bring it for this trip.
Secondly, be prepared for the potential that the actual road up to the summit may be closed. Our group (along with 15 others) was told the road was closed and we would not be able to drive to the summit. Travis was able to talk with another tour operator (friends are good) and together they got the rangers to open the road for us last minute!! Yay!
Okay, so let’s talk dinner for a second. They served a vegetarian lasagna that was to die for most of my family are hard core meat eaters, so i was surprised at how quickly they snarfed it all down and EVERYONE commented on how “great” it was Make sure to bring your own water bottle (there is fresh water at the first stop) or whatever you want to drink.
Once we hit the road to climb the summit, the road was definitely an “off road” experience. Lots of major bumps but totally fun . The drive up was spectacular, so have your camera ready. The view from the top will blow your mind. Take a lot of pics and enjoy!
Then on to stargazing. Totally over the top and way exceeded my expectations! Travis had his own telescope that was a high end piece of equipment to say the least! He has so much knowledge that he was eager to share. We even got to see the once in a lifetime “green” comet he spent at least an extra hour with us up there when all the other tour operators were leaving. It was truly the most memorable experiences of my life! Mahalo to the entire team that i know has to work hard behind the scenes for this…my entire family is so grateful for the experience
So much information about Hawaii pineapple history, the workers, how pineapples are grown…just unbelievable! Tour guide Moe and Maureen were fantastic! Eating just picked pineapple in the field…unbelievable and worth the price.
The location is about a 30-minute drive from Waikiki, and picking up participants in Waikiki took quite a bit of time. Although it is a hiking tour, there are some steep paths, and since it was raining on and off, I was putting on and taking off my raincoat, which made me sweat a lot and quite tired. (It seems to rain often there, so I think non-slip shoes and a raincoat are necessary.) Also, there are quite a few mosquitoes, so insect repellent spray or long pants are recommended. (I wore shorts and got bitten in several places.) The mystical forest and the fairly large waterfall were amazing to see. On the way back, we had lunch at Tantalus Lookout. I had a pastrami sandwich, and the dressing was especially delicious.
場所はワイキキから車で30分程度のところにあり、
ワイキキでの参加者のピックアップの方が時間がかかったぐらいです。
ハイキングツアーとなっていますが、
結構な坂道になっており、雨も降ったり止んだりで
カッパを着たり脱いだりしていたため、結構汗をかき疲れました。
(雨が降ることが多いところらしいので、
滑りにくい靴とカッパは必要だと思います)
また、蚊が結構いるため虫除けスプレーか長ズボンがお勧めです。
(短パンで行ったため何ヶ所か蚊に刺されました)
神秘的な森と、結構大きな滝が見れて最高でした。
帰りはタンタラスの丘で昼食。パストラミサンドにしましたが、
特にドレッシングがとても美味しかったです。
It was a bit cold with strong winds in February, but it was fine once I got into the sea! The staff were very friendly and spoke Japanese, so I felt comfortable enjoying my time there.
2月なので風が強く少し寒かったですけど海に入れば大丈夫でした!スタッフもとても親切で日本語も話せるから安心して楽しめます♪
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour and were able to see sea turtles. The photos of the heart reef are beautifully taken! We look forward to welcoming you back on the tour when you visit Hawaii again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
ウミガメも見れてツアーを楽しんで頂けて嬉しく思います。
ハートリーフの写真とても綺麗に撮れていますね!
またハワイに来た際には是非ツアーにご参加くださいませ。スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
We participated as a pair. The weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny. There were about 30 participants, and surprisingly, 28 of them were Japanese. Therefore, all the explanations that day were in Japanese, and the crew members were very kind. When we went to the heavenly sea by boat, we were greeted by an emerald blue that looked like a picture. It was much more beautiful than the sea at Waikiki Beach. We participated in early February, and the sea was warmer than we expected. First, we rode a stand-up paddleboard in the shallow waters for the first time, and it felt very pleasant. After that, we went snorkeling and swam above the fish. We also encountered turtles twice. This was the activity where I felt the most connected to Hawaii during this trip. I would love to participate again if I come back.
2人で参加。天候は曇りと晴れが混ざった感じ。参加者が30人程いましたが、なんと内28人が日本人。そのため、その日の説明は全て日本語、クルーの皆さんとても親切でした。船で天国の海にいくと、写真のようなエメラルドブルーが広がっています。ワイキキビーチの海とは比較にならないくらい綺麗。2月上旬の参加でしたが、思ったよりも海は暖かかったです。まずは浅瀬でサップボートに初めて乗りましたが、とても心地がいい。その後シュノーケリングをし、魚が泳いでいる上を遊泳していました。あと亀にも2回遭遇しました。今回のハワイ旅行で1番ハワイを感じたアクティビティでした。また来たら参加したい。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that you felt the essence of Hawaii the most during this trip. Depending on the season, you may see different sandbars, so if you have the opportunity, please join us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
今回の旅で1番ハワイを感じたと言って頂けて嬉しく思います。
時期によってまた違ったサンドバーが見れるかと思いますので、もし機会がございましたら是非またご参加下さいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
We had a great time snorkeling out at Molokini! The boat, crew, equipment, food and the rest were all really good! We had a great time and we’re very pleased! We recommend the Four Wnds 2 and her Captain and
Crew!
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds II!
So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.
Aloha Kendra and mahalo for this review and for the recommendation! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the show and the food at the luau. Pleas visit us again the next time you're on the island! Mahalo!
We raced through bumpy roads in a four-person buggy!! Everyone was screaming with excitement. It felt like a great way to relieve stress and clear my mind. Running through such beautiful nature in the open air is something I rarely get to do, so it was thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking, but so much fun!
P.S. On sunny days, when driving on dry roads, you can borrow helmets and goggles, so no worries there, but it's essential to bring your own mask (laughs).
4人乗りバギーで凸凹道を激走!!
みんなでキャー!!キャー!!大はしゃぎ。
なんだかストレスも発散できて心もスッキリ(^^)/
こんな大自然の中をオップンエアーで走ることなんてないから、
ワクワク、ちょっぴりドキドキで楽しかった~!
ps・晴れた日、乾いた道路を走行する時、ヘリメット・ゴーグルは貸してもらえますから安心ですが、他に自前でマスクは必須です(笑)
Saw all parts of the island. Tons of waterfalls. Even whales in the ocean. Saw one breech. Mark did an excellent job of explaining the island past and present. I had to reschedule due to rain but the next day was fabulous weather. Building staff very helpful and pleasant to work with.
Very little elevation gain on the trail, so it’s a very nice walk for most.
The amount of water coming down the falls depends on how much it has been raining. For us there was only a trickle.
They can’t take you to the official Tantalus Lookout inside the state park any more due to current restrictions, but you’ll still be treated to a pretty nice viewpoint overlooking the city after your picnic lunch.
