This was an amazing experience—the dolphins were incredible. We got to hug them, touch them all over, and swim next to them with our hand on their back but not holding on to them. Maddie, our guide, was so warm and informative. I would recommend bringing goggles (swimming or snorkeling) so that you can put your head underwater with your eyes open to see the dolphins swimming under you. I’m surprised that isn’t recommended. Digital photos are VERY expensive ($170 for all of the photos they took, or $55 for one digital photo). That said, it’s a once in a life time experience, so you’ll probably want some photos.
I was able to see about five sea turtles and coral reefs while snorkeling. However, the sea was cold, and there was wind, so I only snorkeled once and quickly changed.
The tide was high, and my 3-year-old daughter couldn't walk on the sand, so I had to carry her and we only went a little into the water.
The sea is best to visit in the summer. The bus for transportation was also cold, so it's better to dress warmly.
シュノーケリングで、サンゴ礁、海ガメ5匹程見れました。でも海が寒い、風もあり、1回だけシュノーケリングして、すぐに着替えてしまいました。
潮も満ちていて、3歳の娘は砂の上を歩けず、抱っこして海に少し入るだけ。
海は夏に行くべきです。
移動のバスも寒いので、暖かい格好をして行った方がいいです。

Beautiful land, awesome people ! I recommend bringing the family or friends here to race around on four wheelers! They also have animals you can pet or feed ! The end of the ride has amazing picture opportunities!
The day after the Honolulu Marathon was free time. Since it depended on the weather and my physical condition, I made an online reservation on-site after the marathon. It was a busy time for travelers, and many spots were already booked, but I finally found an opening for a private lesson. The price was a bit high, but it couldn't be helped. It's great that they accept participants up to 80 years old.
The reception on the day was the worst. A Japanese female staff member was in charge, and while I felt relieved at first, her attitude was extremely cold. I was given a long T-shirt for kids to wear over my swimsuit, specifically a size S for children—about 5 or 6 years old! Even when I said it was impossible, she insisted that it would be sufficient for me. Is this bullying?
The people around me sympathized and suggested that I should get an exchange, and reluctantly, they brought out a proper size from a back room. I was the only Japanese person there, but having Japanese staff didn't guarantee comfort; in fact, I learned that I could be treated poorly.
As for surfing, I was able to stand on the board and ride the waves after just two or three tries. Getting up from a prone position to standing requires leg strength. It's definitely not something to do right after a full marathon.
ホノルルマラソン翌日のフリータイム。天気と体調次第なので、マラソン終了後、現地でネット申し込みしました。旅行者が多い時期でもあり、予約は結構埋まっていて、ようやくプライベートレッスンの空きを見つけました。金額割高だけど、仕方ない。80歳までokもありがたい。
当日の受付は最悪。日本人女性スタッフが采配していて、安心したのも束の間、めちゃくちゃ塩対応。水着の上にガードの長Tシャツを着るのだが、私に渡されたのは子供用Sサイズ。5、6歳くらいの!
無理、と言っても、あなたにはそれで充分と。これってイジメ?
周りの人も見かねて、交換してもらうべきと共鳴してくれて、渋々奥の部屋からまともなサイズのを取り出してきた。
日本人は私だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいれば安心ということでは無いな。むしろ、ゴミのような扱いを受ける場合もあると知った。
サーフィン自体は、2,3回でボードに立って波に乗る事ができた。
腹這いから、瞬時にボードに立つので、脚力が必要。フルマラソン直後にやるものではないな。
The whole ever crew at the sand bar was amazing. From the boarding, to the live music, and to the guys down in the sandbar!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
This was such a cool excursion. The views are incredible. The ʻike (knowledge) you get on this adventure is really cool to hear about the mountains and structures on the land.
It included a pick-up service. They arrive on time. There were only a few Japanese people on the large bus. A Japanese-language video guide was played. After boarding, you can take a seat on the first deck and listen to various explanations (in English), after which you can move freely around the ship. When a whale is spotted, the direction it is seen from the bow is announced based on the clock position, with participants all saying "Keep eyes open" while searching. When someone shouts "8 o'clock!!", everyone looks in that direction. Although we didn't see the whales jumping as in the photos on the website, we could see them spouting water, and there were many moments when we could see their backs quite clearly. I was surprised to see that the whales come so close to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. The time spent searching for whales was overwhelmingly longer, but it was wonderful to relax while enjoying the pleasant Hawaiian breeze. It's basically a cruise. It might be a bit dangerous for small children running around, and they would probably find it boring anyway. Since this is only available from January to March, I would recommend it to those who can go during this time.
送迎付きでした。時間通りに来てくれます。大型バス乗り合いで日本人は数名程度。日本語の案内ビデオが流れます。乗船後1階デッキに着席し色々説明(英語)を聞いた後は船内を自由に移動できます。クジラが見えたら船首を12時として時計の位置で見えた方向がアナウンスされます。参加者全員が"Keep eyes open"で探しますので、参加者が"8 o'clock!!"と叫ぶと皆8時方角を見る感じです。Webの写真のように飛び上がる姿は見られませんでしたが、潮を吹くと位置が分かり、背が結構見える場面も多かったです。ホノルルのダウンタウン、ワイキキもすぐそこに見える位置までクジラが来ているんだな、と驚きました。クジラを探す時間の方が圧倒的に長いですが、ハワイの心地よい風を浴びながらまったりと過ごす時間は最高でした。基本クルーズですね。小さなお子様は走り回ったりちょっと危険かもしれません、そもそも子供にはつまらないですよね。1月から3月までの限定ですので、この時期に行かれる方にはお勧めしたいです。
Thank you very much for joining the Star of Honolulu whale watch cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon, and next time we would love for you to witness a whale jump. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you back.
この度はスターオブホノルル号のホエールウオッチクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。

是非またお越し下さい。次回はクジラのジャンプをご観測して頂きたいです。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております
Highly recommend.. don't hesitate and just book it.. Awesome experience! Beautiful views! Super awesome crew on board and learned alot tooo! And would do it again! Great place to take your family. I took my sr parents and they had a blast.
My family, including four kids, had a wonderful time on the Na Pali coast boat tour. The crew went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. We saw bottlenose and spinner dolphins and tons of whales up close. The views of the coast were mesmerizing. Although the weather did not cooperate for snorkeling, the crew made up for it by letting us jump off the boat and swim. It was a day to remember and a highlight for the kids!
The boat ride over to the fern grotto was easy and short. Heard some history,, took a short walk to the grotto where they sang a song and danced. It was beautiful. Ride back had music and hula dancing. It was a slow day for us and this for perfect in our plans. Relaxing calm ride with great people. Highly recommend………………………………………………………………………………………………………we had a short lesson on how to hula dance on our way back to the dock.
Parasailing
I got seasick on the way to the spot.
The view was amazing, and the height was just right.
It was a struggle to get there with the waves.
Jet Ski
There was limited freedom since the course was predetermined, but I had a great time.

This time, we made a reservation for three people. We opted for a three-zipline set, and the total budget was around 42,000 yen. I thought it was a bit expensive, but since it was the off-season and the Kapolei pool was only open on weekends, we chose this option.
First, we checked in 15 minutes early and received instructions on how to put on the equipment. It was all in English, but they were very attentive.
After that, we received a briefing (all in English), took some photos, and off we went! There were two instructors who guided us carefully, so there was nothing to worry about. The first leap was a bit nerve-wracking, but once you get used to it, it’s a lot of fun.
The three ziplines took about an hour. It went by in a flash. Honestly, I could have done six, but it was a bit pricey, so I decided to stop there.
The instructors were polite and entertaining, and the zipline experience was in a more natural setting than in Japan, with longer distances and quite a bit of speed, which was enjoyable. I hope that if more people come, the prices might become a bit more reasonable.
I had a fantastic time, and experiences like this are hard to come by, so I highly recommend it. If possible, I think it would be fun to bring a strap to hang your phone around your neck or take a GoPro to capture the moments.
今回、3名で予約をしていってきました。
3本セットのもので、全員で予算は42000円位でした。
若干高いかな?とおもいましたが、シーズンオフで
カポレイのプールも土日しか空いていなかったため、ここをセレクトしました。
まず、15分前にチェックインして、装備品の装着の説明を受けて装着をします。
英語オンリーではありますが、丁寧に対応してくれます。
その後、説明を受けて(すべて英語)、写真を撮って、レッツゴー‼
インストラクターが2名ついてくれて、丁寧に教えてくれるので
困ることはありません。
最初の1本目の飛び出しだけは勇気がいりますが、あとは慣れてしまえば
楽しいです。
3本で時間は1時間程でしょうか?
あっという間でした。正直6本でもよかったですが、予算的に少し高かったのでこれで止めておきました。
インストラクターさんは丁寧ですし、面白いですし、
ジップラインも日本よりも自然の中をしかも距離も長く、スピードもかなり出て楽しかったです。
もっとたくさん人が言ってくれれば、値段も少しはこなれた値段になるのかな?と期待しております。
非常に楽しかったですし、このような体験はなかなかできないので
お薦めです。出来れば、携帯を首からかけられるストラップとかでもっていくか、GOPROをもっていって装着すると面白いと思いますよ。
Great experience. A must do in the Kualoa Ranch. Seven Zip Lines and a long field to cover :-)
Go Adventure Hawaii was one of the best experiences we had on Oahu!! Not only did we see at least 10 sharks and a whale, the staff were some of the greatest people we met! All three guys were super informative, accommodating, made us feel super safe and even gave us a bunch of awesome recommendations for the things to do/eat. Highly recommend these guys for a once in a lifetime experience!! If you get a chance, practice snorkeling in the shallow water before just diving in for the first time like we did! Definitely recommend getting the photo package! Can’t wait to get our back!!
This place is amazing, the ATV excursion was exciting. I will definitely do it again.
Awesome ride and and ocean view. The ladies had extensive knowledge in handling horses. Our guide was alway attentive to our needs and mostly to make sure we were safe. Mahalo
Had a great time with good music. The crew was great and the sand bar was fun!

To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!
My hubby wanted to tour Pearl Harbor on his birthday, so I booked this tour and we had the best time! Nani, our tour guide, was the best! He was pleasant, funny and just a great source of information - we honestly did learn so much about Honolulu, Oahu, the Hawaiian culture and Pearl Harbor itself! The tour itself was awesome ... tour bus was on time for pickup, we had the perfect amount of time both for the Arizona memorial and the Mighty Mo tour. It was just a really great day, and my hubby thoroughly enjoyed HIS day spent learning some history! Thank you!!
This tour was a great way to see the highlights of the entire Big Island. To start off, our tour guide, Christopher, was fantastic. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the island, interesting to listen to, energetic, and willing to do anything needed to make our tour great. We started out being picked up at our resort in a very comfortable Mercedes van. We visited Kona Joes coffee farm where we had a good lunch. We toured the southern side of the island, and stopped at the Punalu’u Bake Shop to have excellent pastries. Next stop was the black sand beach where we watched the huge surf crashing into the rocky coast, and saw two very lazy green turtles sunning themselves on the beach. After that, we went to the Kilauea volcano crater to see it in the daytime. Wind and rain hampered this visit, so we went to dinner at a great resturant nearby. On the way, we stopped to tour the rain forest and walked through a lava tunnel. Both were great experiences. Finally, to top it all off, we say the lava eruptions at night at the crater. Fantastic experience...
Aloha Mark,
Thank you for your review, very thorough! Christopher is a gem of a guide for sure, we're so happy you enjoyed your day with us, and we hope your trip to the Big Island was great EVERY day.
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!
