Hawaii
Our highlight of our honeymoon was zip lining with this amazing Crew! Miles and Boo Boo were incredible! The views were gorgeous! So happy we looked around before just picking a random one
Guides were patient and informative. Saw some cool fish! Would definitely recommend
We had two different events with Kauai Backcountry Adventures and they are simply amazing. Very fun and friendly staff. If there are any questions you have, the staff knows and loves their home very much!
It was a great Experience, excellent show by the team. In terms of food, I felt it could be better in a way like if someone doesn’t eat something probably they can substitute it with something on their menu. Else everything seemed good!!!
I participated with friends experiencing ZIP for the first time. It was a lot of fun with dynamic ZIP and enthusiastic staff who really got everyone excited, along with American young people.
ZIP初体験の仲間を連れて参加。
米国の若者と一緒。ダイナミックなZIPとサービス精神に溢れたスタッフの盛り上げでとても楽しかった。
Astounding! My husband and I looked forward to this tour for three years. Covid decided to interrupt. It was well worth the wait and then some. Huge fans of the show. McGarret’s house was surreal. Actually being there blew us away.
More importantly, Sean (not Flippa) was sensational. Cannot say enough about him. Here goes: Professional, personable, polite, informative, thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient. Kind and went above and beyond. By far the best tour guide we’ve had on all our trips to Hawaii. Just pleasant to be around and always accommodating and ready to answer any questions we had whether it by about Five 0 or just Hawaii in general. Hawaii Five 0 fans shouldn’t miss this tour,
Only downfall was not meeting Flippa.
At the summit, the rain and wind were strong, and I couldn't see the crater or the sunset at all. However, the only saving grace was that I saw a very beautiful rainbow along the way.
山頂は雨風が強く全く火口や夕焼けは見えませんでした。
ただ、道中でとてもきれいな虹が見えたことが唯一の救いです。
The powerful dances of the men, the delicate and gentle dances of the women, and the authentic fire dance were overwhelming; it was a great experience. The food was also delicious.
様々な迫力ある男性の舞、可憐で優しげな女性の踊り、本格的な火踊りには圧倒される、良い体験だった。食事も美味しかった。
After racing along the dirt paths of the jungle while explaining the surroundings and enjoying the vast scenery, it was a bit disappointing to feel increasingly deflated during the movie set tour and the visit to the farmer's living area. If we were going to explore similar spaces, it might have been better to have different experiences like horseback riding or cycling. I wish there had been clearer explanations of the activities during the booking phase.
ジャングルの土道を説明しながら疾駆し、広大な景色を満喫した後、映画撮影現場ツアー、農家の生活域への訪問と続いて、どんどん気持ち的に萎えてしまう様だったのが少々残念。同じ様な空間を回るのであれば、乗馬とかサイクリングとかの別形態の体験をした方が良かったかも知れないと、もう少し体験内容の事前説明を募集段階で判るようにしてあったらと思う。
Best experience I have ever had on an excursion. Our tour guide, Jackson, was the best! He was so helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the land and the conservation of it as well as all the movies filmed there along with dates and cast. For a huge movie buff that was an extra bonus for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this activity with my family. The two hour trek was great and wasn't too long. I loved that the tour provided bandanas, helmets, and goggles for all participants. Best trip ever!
Thank you very much for your kind assistance the day before yesterday, Kanako! I appreciate your enthusiastic explanations during the tour! I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
KANAKOさん一昨日は大変お世話になりました!
ツアー中の熱心なご説明有難うございました!
明日も宜しくお願い致します。
I couldn't see it, but I felt the beautiful sea and the pleasant sea breeze, so I guess it was good!
見ることはできなかったけど、綺麗な海と潮風を気持ち良く感じることはできたので良かったかなと言う感じ!
This boat ride was truly Amazing! I would do again! It is a Must do!
At first, I was worried about whether I could ride it, but once I tried, it was surprisingly easy. Riding the Segway while feeling the Hawaiian breeze was very pleasant. The instructor informed us about the areas to be cautious of during the ride, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The instructor was very fun and provided clear guidance, and I was able to learn a lot about the finer details of Hawaii. They also took photos for us, which became wonderful memories. I want to ride a Segway again when I go back to Hawaii!
最初は乗れるか心配でしたが、乗ってみると意外と簡単でした。
ハワイの風を感じながら乗るセグウェイはとても気持ちよかったです。
乗っている最中に注意する場所を教えてくれたので、安心して体験することが出来ました。
インストラクターの方がとても楽しい方で
案内も分かりやすく、ハワイの細かい部分まで知ることができて良かったです。
写真も撮っていただいて本当に良い思い出になりました。
またハワイに行ったらセグウェイに乗りたいです!
I participated because I wanted to experience the great nature of Hawaii. I was a bit worried from past reviews that there might be little time to see the filming locations, but since I wasn't driving, I was able to enjoy it fully while riding! I recommend it for those who want to see many filming locations! Also, the hospitality of the staff who drove us was amazing; they drove over the bumpy roads like it was an attraction, and I was impressed the entire two hours. The shuttle bus was also on time, so even though it takes half a day, I think the cost-performance ratio is excellent!
ハワイの大自然を感じてみたくて参加しました。過去レビューから、ロケ地を見る時間が少ないのかなと少し心配でしたが、運転していなかったため乗りながらでも充分楽しめました!沢山のロケ地を見たい方にはおすすめです!また、ドライバーをしてくださったスタッフさんのホスピタリティが凄くて、でこぼこ道をアトラクションのように運転してくれてすごい!と思いっぱなしの2時間でした。送迎バスも遅延がなかったので、半日かかりますが時間のコスパは最高だと思います!
Best experience ever in Hawaii. Made me want to move to Oahu just to keep taking the excursion and will do again. The weather was perfect, even though it rained at the end!!! We brought headties to cover our hair and goggles and bandanas were provided!!! Jackson was our tour guide and his energy made it most enjoyable. His attitude about life and the confidence with which he spoke made us feel safe and would have stayed an additional hour if given the opportunity!!!
We really enjoyed the trip. All staffs are super friendly and helpful. Everything we needed were prepared and provided. I wish I had chosen a less windy day, but regardless, we all had a great time, whether in water or on the boat.
Our time at sand bar was amazing, it started with the crew and the musicians.
they made us comfortable and answered all our questions.
We had booked the banana boat and bumper package and it was exhilarating.
Looking forward to our next trip so we can book another tour.
Driving a buggy in the wonderful nature of Hawaii was a lot of fun, something you can't experience in Japan. However, the roads are not only unpaved but also quite bumpy in all directions. There was a sign stating that the maximum speed limit is 20 km/h, but the instructor driving the lead buggy instructed us to maintain a distance of just 2 meters from the buggy in front. That instructor was comfortably driving at 30 km/h, making it difficult to keep up and I was worried about tipping over. The engine brake worked well, but the foot brake was quite weak, so I was also concerned about crashing into the buggy ahead. I enjoyed it more in the second half once I got used to it, but until then, I felt more anxious than anything else.
There were more people in shorts, so it didn't seem necessary to wear long pants. Occasionally, there were explanations in English, but I, not being good at it, couldn't understand at all. The scenery was amazing, so I recommend it for those who are confident in their driving skills.
ハワイの素晴らしい大自然の中で日本では経験できないバギー車を運転出来てとても楽しかった。ただし道は未舗装であるだけでなく、前後左右にかなり凸凹です。張り紙には最高速度は20km/hまでとの速度制限の記載があるのですが、先頭バギー車を運転する指導員からは、前を走るバギー車との車間を2メートルに詰めて走行するように指示されました。その指導者は平気で30km/hを出すので、付いていくのが大変で横転が心配でした。またエンジンブレーキは良く効くのですが、フットブレーキはかなり甘いので前のバギーへの追突も心配でした。後半は慣れたので楽しかったのですが、慣れるまでは不安の方が強かったです。
短パンの人の方が多かったので、長ズボンである必要はないようでした。
時々英語で説明がありますが、苦手な私は全く理解できませんでした。
景色は最高でしたので、運転に自信がある人にはお勧めします。
Great River Tour , excellent entertainment and a good price, highly recommend!
Had such an amazing experience. Seen some incredible sights and sealife during the ride. 10/10.
Great adventure on the trail with great views. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I had so much fun during the ride and would recommend everyone experience this adventure. 10/10.
The show was great. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The performers did amazingly and made the show great. The food was alright, but the show and experience were amazing. 10/10.
Had fun on the cruise. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Seen whales and cool views. The meal was alright, but the experience was amazing. 10/10.
I had never ridden a horse before, had a great time, and experienced breathtaking views. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone who loves adventures and views. 10/10.
Thank you for such kind words. We are glad you had an amazing time, and we hope to see you again soon.

The car was supposed to come to the hotel entrance to take me to the airport, but it only picked up other people and left. Even after I told the driver my name, he said, "There's no name. Next car," and I had to wait for 10 minutes. The car still didn't arrive. When I tried calling, they asked for my reservation number and where I made the reservation, but they couldn't find it and kept me on hold for several minutes. In the end, I don't know if they found the reservation or not. The first driver came back and agreed to take me, but this was stressful on my return day. I completed the reservation about two weeks ago, and I have the voucher in hand. Other reviews mention similar experiences. I'm sorry, but I won't be using your service next time. I should have just used Uber from the start.
ホテルから空港まで、ホテルの入り口でこちらの車が来るも、他の人だけ乗せて出発。ドライバーに名前伝えても、「名前がない。次の車」と言われて待つこと10分。まだ車は来ない。電話をかけてみたが「予約番号は?どちらから予約したか?」と聞かれるが、予約が見当たらないとか、保留のまま数分待たされる。結局予約が見つかったのか?見つからないままなのか?初めに来たドライバーがまた来て、乗せてくれることにはなったが…帰国日にこうなると心臓に悪い。2週間ほど前に予約は完了し、バウチャーも手元にあるのに…。他の体験談見ると、似たようなケースも。申し訳ない、次は貴社は使いません。最初からUberにすべきだったと思った。
The crew and experienced was amazing. We would go back for sure
Reasonably priced river tour. There are some great views and the crew sings wonderful Hawaiian music. If your visiting for the first time bring your family and take the grotto tour.
This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.
I have traveled to Hawaii about 20 times, including long stays, and this is my first visit in four years. I considered taking a bus or renting a car to get to Manoa, but since it was my first time in the area and I wanted to learn about the local plants, I decided to join this tour.
On the day of the tour, there were about four groups of Japanese participants and around four to five groups from English-speaking countries (the mainland, Australia, Italy). Our tour guide, Kanako, attended to everyone using both English and Japanese. I imagine she must have been quite tired from speaking both languages the whole time, but she was always smiling and considerate of everyone, truly a wonderful person.
Kanako's friendly approach made the bus ride and our exploration enjoyable, regardless of nationality. I participated alone, but I had the chance to chat, take photos, and exchange contact information with a woman who was also traveling solo from the mainland, which gave me a sense of the overseas travel experience I had missed. Thank you!
When we left Waikiki, the weather was quite overcast, and I wondered what it would be like in Manoa, but fortunately, it didn't rain during our exploration. We enjoyed the great outdoors while being careful of our footing. Along the way, we heard various stories, and I realized that the information shared during the tour was something I wouldn't have easily obtained on my own, making my decision to join the tour the right one.
After our exploration, we were served sandwiches from Andy's, a three-generation establishment in Manoa, along with water at Tantalus National Park. (The sandwiches here are incredibly filling; I was full after just half and took the rest home. The taste was excellent too, with a delightful sweetness in the bread!) Since it had rained, we ate together under a pavilion. Normally, we could have enjoyed our meal on the grass, further immersing ourselves in nature. After eating, we moved to a spot where we could see Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the airport for photos. Initially, clouds obscured our view of Diamond Head, but the weather changed suddenly, and by the end, we could see a bit of blue sky. I thought it was a miracle.
I usually participate in tours that are exclusively in Japanese, so I found this mixed tour to be a wonderful opportunity to communicate with people from overseas. I believe travel companies should actively promote mixed tours.
At the end, we all hugged goodbye. Although it was a short time, it was a very meaningful experience during my brief stay in Hawaii.
Thank you so much, Kanako! See you again!
ハワイへはロングステイもしたり20回程度は渡航しています。そして4年ぶりのハワイです。マノアへはバスやレンタカーを使っていくことも考えましたが初めての土地とそれから現地の植物等の情報も知りたかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は日本人(日本語)のグループが4組程度,英語グループ(メインランドやオーストラリア,イタリア)からの参加が4組~5組程度でツアーガイドのKANAKOさんが英語と日本語両方を使って参加者の方々をアテンドしてくださいました。
英語と日本語でずっと話していたのでいつもよりきっと疲れたと思いますがいつもニコニコしていてずっとみんなを気遣っていて本当に素晴らしい方です。
KANAKOさんの対応がフレンドリーでバスの中や現地での散策が国籍問わず一体となって楽しく移動できました。私はひとりで参加しましたが本土からひとりで参加していた女性の方と一緒にお話しして写真を撮ったりメアドを交換したりと久しぶりに海外旅行にきた感触を得ることができました。ありがとうございます。
当日はワイキキを出たときはかなりどんより曇っていてマノアではどうなることかと思いましたが,散策途中は雨は降らず足元に気を付けながら大自然を満喫してきました。途中でいろいろなエピソード等も伺いやはり自分ひとりではなかなか得られない情報だったと思いツアー参加は正解でした。
散策終わるとマノアで3世代続くアンディーズのサンドウィッチとお水がタンタラス国立公園で渡されました。(ここのサンドウィッチはものすごくボリューミーで私は半分だけでお腹いっぱいになり持ち帰りました。そして味も最高。パン生地に甘味があって美味しい!!と思いました)
雨の後だったので東屋のようなところでみんなで食べました。いつもなら芝の上等で自然をさらに満喫しながら食べられたと思います。食後は公園内のダイヤモンドヘッド~ワイキキ~空港までが見渡せる場所へ移動し写真撮影しました。写真撮影の最初は雲がかかってしまっていてダイヤモンドヘッドも見えない状況だったのですが途中から天気が急変して最後はすこしだけ青空が見えました。奇跡だと思います。
私は普段日本語(日本人)だけのツアーを当たり前のように参加します。今回このように混在したツアーは海外に来て海外の方とコミュニケーションをとるすばらしい機会だと思いました。積極的に旅行会社も混在ツアーをアピールしてよいのではないかと思います。
最後はみんなお別れする時はハグしてお別れしました。とても短い時間でしたが短いハワイ滞在の中でとても有意義な時間となりました。
KANAKOさんほんとにありがとうございました♡またね!!
