Hawaii
It was a very thrilling tour. The excitement of boarding a submarine on the ocean (of course, safety was taken into consideration) and the sunken ships and planes after diving felt like something out of a movie.
とても迫力あるツアーでした。
海上で潜水艦に乗るところからワクワクするスリル(もちろん安全に考慮されてました)、潜水後も沈没した船や飛行機が映画のようでした。
You can enjoy horseback riding for two hours through the forest and grasslands. The view of the sea from the hill and the grasslands that look like they were used for filming Jurassic Park were beautiful. Our cute guide explained various historical facts and stories in a fast-paced manner. It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a great experience. I look forward to doing it again next time. If you're not fluent in English, I think it's better not to lead the group while riding. There are many paths that can be confusing about where to go, but that adds to the wild charm.
林の中、草原をぽくぽくと乗馬を2時間楽しめます。おかの上からの海の眺めや、ジェラシックパークの撮影につかわれたような草原など、かわいいガイドさんが、一生懸命早口でいろいろ、歴史やいわれなどを説明してくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、とてもいい経験できました。また、次回楽しみたいです。英語が堪能でなければ、乗馬での先頭には、ならないほうが、いいと思います。どちらに行けばよいか悩むよな小道が多いですが、それもワイルドでよいです。
I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.
マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。
This is the most fun attraction to drive yourself. They provide helmets and dust masks, or rather neck covers, and at first, I thought it was just for atmosphere. However, as we drove through the dust, it became essential, and my clothes and shoes turned brown from the dirt. It's definitely worth a visit, but be careful about your clothing!
これは自分で運転するのが最高に楽しいアトラクションです。ヘルメットと粉塵防止の、マスクというかネックカバーが配られるのですが、最初は雰囲気作り?と思っていましたが、途中から欠かせないくらい土埃の中を走行して、服も靴も土埃で茶色になってしまいます。絶対行ってみる価値あり、服装注意って感じです。
Great experience, thank you for putting this tour together!
The staff was very courteous from the bus transportation to the wait staff! Entertainment was enjoyable and the dancers were great and gave an energetic performance. The food was delicious.
The amount of dolphins out during our tour made me feel extra lucky! The west side of Oahu is sure gorgeous
Thank you Hawaii Activities for helping me get a spot, it was an awesome day spent in the outdoors.
I was told this event was one of the best things on Oahu and I have to agree, it was a splendid day away from Waikiki and it Oahu's nature
It’s been a really lovely experience from the drive through the sunset to the guided star tour! Very touching ✨
From the amazing staff who fulfilled every moment. To seeing whales, turtles, dolphins and many varieties of fish. Diving off the boat into the ocean. A perfect day to end our vacation in paradise Hawaii.
They had a surfboard and a lot of luggage, but they were very accommodating, which was great. I use their service every time for round trips, and I definitely plan to use it again next time.
Surf boardがあり、荷物が多かったのですが、丁寧に対応頂いて非常に良かったです。
毎回往復お願いしていますが、次回も勿論お願いするつもりです。
The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time. The hamburgers were also very delicious.
I was able to see sea turtles, and the atmosphere on the boat was nice.
The bus on the way back was delayed, but there was not a single person who was irritated; in fact, the waiting time was enjoyable.
天気にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい時間でした。
ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
ウミガメも見れたし、船の中の雰囲気も良かったです。
帰りのバスの到着が遅れてしまいましたが、イライラする人などは一人もいなくて、待ち時間も楽しかったくらいです。
Our tour guide, Steve, was right on time, friendly, super knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about his island home. We were able to see everything of interest on Lanai (except the resorts, which are not open to sight-seers). If you are on a one-day trip to Lanai, this is the way to go.
Arrive at the port and check in at least 15 minutes before departure. The departure was on time. The weather was clear, but we only saw about ten whales from a distance. When I participated previously, we encountered several whales up close, saw them dive, and even ran alongside a pod of dolphins, so this experience was quite modest in comparison. It was disappointing that the captain kept talking not only about the whales but also engaging in small talk like a monologue, showing zero enthusiasm for actively searching for whale spots. (The previous captain was proactive, using experience and intuition to find the best spots and move quickly.) Whether you can see the whales well really depends on the captain. (You can't choose, though...)
出港15分前までに港に集合して発券。時間どおりの出港でした。天気は快晴でしたがクジラは10体弱遠目に見えた程度。以前参加したときは間近に何体も出現し、ダイブも見られたり、イルカの群れと併走したこともあって、それに比べるとかなり控えめでした。船長がずっと解説のみならず世間話も独り言のようにしゃべり続けていて、熱心にクジラポイントを探し当てるようなやる気はゼロだったのが残念でした。(以前の船長は経験と勘で次々とベストポイントを当てて積極的に移動していた。)クジラがよく見えるかどうかは本当に船長次第です。(選べませんが。。)
On the day, there was little rain, and it felt like we were running through the clouds during the ascent. However, with real-time weather information and the mountain guide's experience, we decided to wait a bit, believing that the skies would clear. Indeed, the skies opened up, and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful starry sky! Their ability to adapt and respond with such experience, even under poor conditions, was truly impressive.
当日は数少ない雨で、登頂中は雲の中を走っているような状態。しかしリアルタイムの気象情報と山さんの経験で少し待てば晴れ間が出ると判断して一時待機。本当に晴れ間が出てきて、見事星空を満喫できました!条件が悪くても最大限機転を利かせて対応して下さる経験と対応はさすがです。
It was my first Segway experience since 2019, and I had a great time with my son, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and my family of three. It felt very refreshing to be back in Hawaii, Waikiki, and Kaka'ako after a long time. I am planning to visit Hawaii again this year.
2019年以来のセグウェイ体験でした、ハワイが初めての息子と家族3人で大変楽しかったです。
久しぶりのハワイ・ワイキキ・カカアコはとても新鮮な感じがしましたよ~
今年もハワイを計画致します。
The captain were so much fun, me and my boyfriend had the best time.
We loved our whale watching tour. I would highly recommend. Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat or a shirt to cover up with as it gets hot on the boat. I plan on doing this again next time and booking though Veltra. Great price for the best tours. Tip: rent the binoculars or bring your own for close up viewing.
I participated with my 5-year-old son and his father! First, the voucher said to gather at 10:30, but when we arrived, we were told to regroup at 10:55, so we changed and gathered! When we assembled, we were given life jackets, but they were wet from the previous customers! If you’re not wearing a wetsuit, it can be quite cold! My child was already saying it was cold at that point.
The activity was supposed to be 35 minutes of fun with dolphins, but there was an explanation that took about 30 minutes before it started, and we were left feeling quite cold in the wet life jackets against our bare skin, waiting for the dolphin interaction to begin. (It was December, and it wasn't very hot, but it was sunny ☀️)
Once we got into the water, it was incredibly cold!!! In the end, my lips turned purple, and I was shivering uncontrollably. Afterward, we jumped into the hotel jacuzzi. Other foreign guests also looked a bit cold. If you have underwater goggles, you can dive down and observe, but since it's the dolphins' habitat, it can't be helped; however, there were some weeds, and the water wasn't exactly clean.
That said, the interaction with the dolphins was plentiful; they performed many tricks right in front of us, we could feed them, and we swam alongside them✨. We took lots of cute photos and returned very satisfied. For the 35-minute activity, you need not only a towel but also a swimsuit.
5歳の息子と父親で参加しました!
まず、バウチャーには10:30集合になっていましたが行ってみると55分に再集合と言われ、着替えて集合!
集合がかかるとライフジャケットを渡されるのですが、前のお客様が着ていたものなので濡れています!
ウエットスーツを着ていないとかなり冷たいかも!
子供はその時点で冷たい冷たいと言っていました。
そして、35分間イルカと楽しめるアクティビティとのことでしたが、始まるまでの説明というか、お話がプラスで30分程と、とても長く冷たいライフジャケットを素肌に着たまま、なかなか始まらないイルカとのふれあいに水に入る前から既にちょっと寒そう。(12月でとても暑い日ではなかったですが晴れていました☀️)
そして水に入ると、またとんでもなく水が冷たい!!!
最終的に唇は紫でガクブルでガタガタ震え、終わってからホテルのジャグジーにドボンでした
他の外国の方々も少し寒そうにしていました
水中眼鏡を持っていれば一緒に潜って観察して良いのですが、イルカの住むところなので仕方ないのですが、潜ると藻があったり水は清潔とは言い難い様子。
が、イルカとの触れ合いはたっぷり、目の前で沢山芸をしてくれたりフィーディングができたり、イルカと一緒に並んで泳げたり✨可愛い写真もたくさんで大満足で帰ってきました
35分のアクティビティでは持ち物、タオルだけではなく水着必要です
It might always be like this, but perhaps due to the year-end usage, it was very crowded. The atmosphere was a bit awkward throughout because various groups were mixed at the long table for meals. When seated, the pineapple set on the table gave off a vibe of "please share it among yourselves," which further intensified the awkwardness. The taste of the buffet was just okay. During the meal, cast members performing hula and playing the ukulele came around to each table, but if you're looking for something more substantial, this might not be the place for you. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch a show, which was probably of high quality (the American guests were really excited about the Elvis and MJ impersonations), but it felt more like an impersonation show and lacked the Hawaiian vibe, which was disappointing.
いつもこうなのかもしれないが、年末の利用ということもあったせいかとても混雑していた。食事がロングテーブルに色々なグループが混雑しているため終始少し気まずい空気。着席時にテーブルにセットされてたパイナップルはこの辺りの人で適当に分けてねという感じで気まずい空気に更に拍車が掛かる。肝心のビュッフェの味はまあまあ。食事中にフラ踊るやウクレレ演奏するキャストが各テーブルを回って来るがしっかりとしたものを見たい人はココじゃなくても良いかも。食事の後、シアターに移動して観るショーはクオリティは高いのだろうが(アメリカ人っぽいお客さんはエルヴィスとかMJのモノマネでとても盛り上がっていたので)モノマネショーがメインといった感じでハワイっぽさはあまりないのが残念。
The crew is so friendly and willing to work with everyone on the boat. Go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the water and experience all of the activities they have to offer.
Beautiful scenery all around you and being on the sandbar was so cool. The tube and banana boat rides were a blast and the jet boat operator is a stand up dude
Mahalo for your review, kind words for our crew, and the beautiful pictures! - Team KBOS
Highly Recommended!
Superb business and employees. Pilot had excellent communication with passengers, ground crew were beyond helpful and friendly.
The views were breathtaking and you are able to capture stunning pictures of the island beauty.
Great tour
Fantastic experience
One in a lifetime opportunity don't miss.
Fantastic crew
We had a blast!!! Jacob our tour guide was AMAZING and EXTREMELY informative. Braiden was a BLAST in the water!!! We recommend the tubing adventure for everyone. We were treated extraordinary. We would do it all over again and looking forward to our next adventure!!!
Thank you so much!!
It was a great full day with my family. Captain Raquel and her team were amazing! Saw lots of whales in the morning with Haleakala in the background. Dolphins joined us on the ride back too! The entire team was fun and interacted w/ all of us. We can't recommend it enough!
4 of us booked this trip and it was the best experience. These guys are the real pros. Everything about the trip from start to finish was top notch. Very rare for excursions. There are only a few companies on Oahu and they are the best. (Pay a little extra to get the photos...the shots are excellent!)
The group was divided into Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It's also good for families with children. The weather was really nice, but the water temperature in December might be cold; you can get in, but it's chilly when you come out. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious! We were able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling, and it was a great experience for my child. Thank you!
日本語と英語でグループが分かれていて説明などは安心
子連れにもGOOD
天気はすごく良かったが12月の水温は冷たいかな、入れないことないが出てから寒い。ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しかった!シュノーケル中に至近距離でウミガメも見えて子供と良い体験ができました、ありがとうございました。
The crew was really searching for whales, but as is common in nature, it depends on the whales' mood, so it was disappointing not to see any. People who went on a different whale tour that same day seemed to have seen them well, which made it even more disappointing. However, the boat itself was stable and I felt safe on it, and it would have been truly amazing if we had seen whales! I hope to see them next time, and I look forward to enjoying winter in Hawaii again someday!
船員スタッフは鯨をすごく探してくれてましたが
まぁ自然界の常識でもあるように、鯨のご機嫌次第とはいえ
見れなくて残念でした。
同じ日に別の鯨ツアーに行った人はしっかり見れたらしく
余計に残念な思いです。
でも、船そのものは揺れも少なく安心して乗っていられましたし
これで鯨が見れたらほんと最高でしたね!
次回は見れることを願って、いつかまた冬のハワイを楽しみたいです!
was a different experience.
Will recommend others to have this one-time experience.
Nice snorkeling and under water view.
