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！！

Loved everything about it!
Crew is super chill and personable. Burgers were good - came with chips and a drink.
We had plenty of time to explore the sand bar and snorkel. Crew was comforting, the whole experience was super chill.

I participated in the zip line activity. I was disappointed that the voucher mentioned a Japanese explanation guide for the zip line, but it wasn't available. The instructor cheerfully explained everything using a mix of English and gestures, so I had no trouble understanding how to use the zip line. The zip line itself was exhilarating and a lot of fun! If I had to say something, I wish it had been a bit longer, and I was disappointed that I couldn't get good photos while flying on the zip line. Since you can only bring your phone during the zip line, it would be convenient to have an accessory to hang your phone around your neck. Also, I strongly recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket because it gets quite cold at night.

ジップライン参加。バウチャーにはジップラインについての日本語説明ガイドがあるとのことだったがなかったのが残念でした。
インストラクターさんは英語とジェスチャーを混じえて陽気に説明して下さったのでジップラインのやり方等は困らなかったです。
ジップライン自体は爽快でとても楽しかったです！
強いて言うならもう少し長いがほしかったのと
ジップラインをとんでる時の写真が上手く撮れなかったのが残念です。
ジップライン中はケータイなどしかもっていけないため、ケータイを首にかけるアクセサリー等あれば便利です。また、夜はかなり寒いので長袖の羽織をもっていくことを強くオススメします。

I have been visiting Hawaii for over twenty years, and I thought I should participate in a sandbar experience at least once. In November, the sandbar is not visible at all (to be precise, you can only see a slight difference in color indicating shallow or deep water from the boat). The water level reaches up to my neck at 162 cm tall. The shallow period, where the water is only ankle-deep, is said to be in the summer.

Additionally, due to somewhat cloudy weather and strong winds, it was quite cold, and it didn't feel enjoyable. *The shuttle vehicle is refrigerator-level cold, so a jacket is essential.* The snorkeling was quite ordinary... there was no mention of sea turtles. I highly recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay instead.

The areas for activities like snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking are limited (not very wide), so you end up turning back shortly after you start paddling. The trip from the port is quick, with Hawaiian music playing for 2-3 songs on the way there, and on the return trip, it turned into a lively dance party for foreigners.

In terms of facilities and services, there are two women's restrooms and one men's restroom on board. There are unlimited donuts (two types), water, lemonade, tea bags, and hot water available. The donuts are delicious. There were two kind staff members who spoke a little Japanese (Kansai dialect). This staff member goes around the tables explaining things for Japanese participants.

I recommend participating during the summer season, but overall, considering the price, it felt like a 360-degree beach experience.

ハワイに通い続けて二十数年、一度くらいサンドバーに行っておこうと思い参加しました。
11月のこの時季、砂州は全く見えません。（正しくは、船から見て浅いか深いかの色の違い程度）
水位は私の身長162cmだと首くらいまであります。
足首程度の浅い時期は夏だそうです。
また、多少天気（雲多め）のせいもありましたが、風も強くてとにかく寒く楽しむって感じではありませんでした。
※送迎の車内は冷蔵庫レベルなので、上着が必須です。
シュノーケリングもごく普通...ウミガメなんて話にも出てきません。
ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングする方が、圧倒的におすすめです。
シュノーケリング含めSUPやカヤックも遊べる範囲が限られている（それほど広くない）ので、漕いだらすぐに折り返すって感じです。
港からはあっという間なので、往路はハワイアンミュージック２～３曲で到着、復路はノリのいい外国人向けのダンスパーティー場と化しました。
設備やサービスとして、船内にはトイレは女性用×２、男性用×１あります。
ドーナツ（２種類）と水、レモネード、ティーバッグ＋お湯が食べ放題、飲み放題です。
ドーナツは美味しいです。
少しですが日本語（関西弁）を話す親切なスタッフが２人居ました。
説明などは、このスタッフが日本人向けにテーブルを回り説明してくれます。
参加するならサマーシーズンおすすめしますが、全体的にはお値段を考えると360度のビーチってレベルでした。

I rely on their shuttle service for transfers between the airport and the hotel every time I travel to Hawaii. Since I'm staying at WRG, there are many shuttle services to nearby hotels, but they take me directly to my hotel, which is very helpful. The staff who greet me at the airport also leave a good impression.

毎回ハワイ旅行の際に、空港⇔ホテル間の送迎でお世話になっています。
WRG泊なので最寄りのホテルまでのシャトルサービスが多い中、きっちりホテルまで送ってくれるのでとても助かってます。
空港でお出迎えしてくれるスタッフの方も好印象です。

The sea is beautiful! During snorkeling, the guide constantly informed us about the locations of sea turtles, allowing us to see them clearly, which was moving! They also introduced activities like stand-up paddleboarding, making it accessible even for beginners! I had a great time and would love to participate again!

とにかく海がきれい！シュノーケリングは添乗員さんの案内のもと、ウミガメのいる場所とかも常に教えてくれるので、しっかり見ることができ、感動しました！サップ？みたいなアクティビティも教えてくれたりするので、初心者でもできました！楽しい時間を過ごせたので、また参加したいと思いました！

We headed to the hotel in Waikiki by taxi and arrived in about 30 minutes! This time, we booked three activities, but parasailing was canceled due to strong winds. It was disappointing, but I think it was good that they considered safety and offered a refund! On the way back, the staff called a taxi for us, and they were very kind!

ワイキキにホテルがあるため、タクシーで向かいました！30分くらいでつきました！今回3つのアクティビティを予約しましたが、強風のためパラセーリングは中止となりました。残念ではありましたが、返金もあり安全を考慮してもらえたのでよかったと思います！帰りもタクシーを呼んでくださって、店員さんが親切でした！

Riding through the great outdoors on a bicycle was a fresh and enjoyable experience! The mountain bike felt a bit wobbly on the bumpy roads, but once you get used to it, I think even beginners can feel at ease! Anyway, being able to see the beautiful nature and take plenty of photos made for a very satisfying tour!

大自然の中、自転車で駆け抜けたのは、新鮮で楽しい体験となりました！マウンテンバイクは、ガタガタの道は少し不安でしたが、慣れれば楽しめるので初心者でも安心だと思います！とにかく大自然が見れたのと、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえたので、大満足のツアーでした！

We had a wonderful time touring some popular sites on Lanai (Shipwreck Beach, Garden of Gods, Cat sanctuary). Many of the sites were off unpaved roads, so have a driving guide really saved a lot of work and planning. The tour group with Russ, Ray and Cory was very accommodating, making extra arrangements to make sure no one is left stranded, even when unplanned events arise. The hardest part was figuring out where to pick up the tickets that morning. For us it was a booth across the street from the Pioneer Inn, near a small lighthouse.

I have always wanted to meet a sea turtle, so I signed up.
I arrived at the sandbar without any seasickness and was able to enjoy SUP and snorkeling!
Thank you very much!

ずっとウミガメに会いたくて申し込みました。
特に船酔いもなくサンドバーに到着し、
SUPやシュノーケルを楽しむことができました！
ありがとうございました！

There are almost only foreigners, but there is one staff member who speaks Japanese, so they will provide explanations. The horseback riding experience allows you to tour filming locations, enjoy views of the sea, and take in the mountains, making it very fulfilling. Even if it's your first time riding, there are explanation videos available in Japanese and other languages, so I think it will be easy to understand.

ほぼ外国人しかいないですが、現地に日本語を話せるスタッフが1人いるのでその方が説明してくださいます。乗馬体験はロケ地を巡ったり海をながめたり、山を、眺めたりでとても充実できます。乗馬が初めてでも日本語や他の言語の説明ビデオが用意されてるのでわかりやすいと思います。

I really got to see sea turtles in Hawaii! The staff were very friendly and provided guidance in Japanese with great care!

本当にハワイでウミガメに会えました！
スタッフの皆さんもとってもフレンドリーで日本語での案内も丁寧にしてくれました！

Honestly best idea ever, gives you all the key things here. You get that fun tour information but with super cool guides that are real joy to have. I’m not as much of horse rider but the atv was best option. You kinda free independent driving yourself at super relaxing. Booking was super easy as well as ticket pickup and information. I would do this tour again absolutely even families with kids were having a blast in my group!!!

Great dancing
Great virgin drinks
Friendly staff
Food was not my favorite, but I know it's traditional food and not everyone's style

We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was well worth the price. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the memorial on a tight time schedule.

I have attended this luau on more than one occasion. The food is good, the entertainment is great. Wonderful fire show!

It was amazing,We had the best tour guide, he was very nice, informative and knowledgeable with history kept it interesting throughout our 90 min tour . definitely worth making this a must do on your trip to HI,

Staff was friendly from first walking into the warehouse to our tour guide, Bubu, who was very knowledgeable and informative of the histories of Hawai'i as well as great places to visit while on Kaua'i.
Our tube instructors Keoni & Doza? were great at making sure no one strayed from the path and made everyone comfortable within our group. Which is really great because you can't control your tubes.. you WILL be bumping into each other.
The water is also very brisk & most of the ride is underground (in tunnels) so a rashguard is probably a good idea unless you like the cold.
Definitely something fun to do with friends, family, your other half, etc. We want to do their ziplining tour on our next trip!

My family absolutely loved this! It was our favorite activity of our entire vacation! The crew was very helpful and gracious.

Arrived in Honolulu on a domestic flight in the United States. While waiting for my luggage to come out, I heard my name being called from the counter... I was able to get into the welcoming car without any hesitation.

アメリカ国内線でホノルルへ到着。
荷物が出てくるのを待っていると、カウンターから名前を呼ぶ声が…
全く迷うことなく、お迎えの車に乗ることができました。

Even as a paper driver, I had a great time. It was more of a nature experience tour than a location tour, but I was able to connect with the stunning nature, and it became a valuable experience.

ペーパードライバーの私でも楽しく遊べました。ロケ地巡りというよりは、自然体験ツアーでしたが、圧巻の自然に触れ、貴重な経験になりました。

After enjoying the dinner buffet, I attended the hula show. Since there were nearly 700 guests, it took a bit of time for my turn to come, but there was plenty of food prepared, so nothing ran out. The show featured a content that conveyed the history of Hawaiian music, along with performers who looked and sounded just like Elvis and Michael Jackson. I was satisfied to enjoy the hula show, especially since I was unsure about dinner.

夕食ビュッフェを最初に頂いてからフラショーの観賞でした。
ビュッフェは700人近くいるお客さんなので、順番が回ってくるまでやや時間が掛かりましたが料理も十分用意されているので無くなることはありません。
ショーはハワイミュージックの歴史を感じる内容とエルビス、マイケルジャクソンといった見た目も歌声もそっくりなショースタッフの出演でした。
夕食に迷っていた事もありフラショーを一緒に楽しめて満足です。

Well worth it!!
The holiday spirit!!!
A lot of fun!!!!
The City shall display is amazing b

After a few minutes of practice in the parking lot, we headed out onto the public road. Riding a Segway around the Ala Moana area while feeling the breeze was so much fun! I was also happy that the instructor took lots of photos at the landmarks! It was so great that I want to repeat it with a different tour plan next time!

駐車場で数分程の練習のあと、いざ公道へ
アラモアナ周辺をセグウェイに乗り、風を感じながら周れて楽しかったです！
また、インストラクターさんが名所でたくさん写真をとってくれたりしたのが嬉しかったです！
次は別の周遊プランでリピートしたいほど最高でした！

It was an English narration, but I was able to get a Japanese pamphlet. It seems that the pamphlet was visually easier for the children to understand. It was great to see two sea turtles swimming.

英語ナレーションだけど、日本語パンフレットをもらえた
こどもにはパンフレットの方が視覚的にわかりやすかったようです。
ウミガメが２匹いて、泳いでいるところを見られたのがよかった。

A definite must do this activity was totally awesome extremely pleasant staff very very fun activity the staff really knew how to get the group engaged and become one far more than my expectations a lot of fun for the whole family and any age definitely 5 stars

This was my second time participating. I felt reassured because there were staff members who could communicate in Japanese. I was worried about food and hydration since lunch wasn't provided, but there were light snacks like sweets and warm cocoa available, so I didn't feel particularly hungry even though it took until the afternoon.

There were many free rental options available, and even with the tide coming in, I was able to have a lot of fun with the inflatable rings and kayaks. For snorkeling, there is a rental set available. If you're concerned about hygiene, I think it's a good idea to bring your own gear.

Even for those who are not confident swimmers, the staff had inflatable rings that you could hold onto while swimming, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.

It can be cold on the water and on the bus ride back, so I recommend definitely bringing a long-sleeved rash guard and a change of clothes. Also, if you have an underwater camera, you can capture memories of turtles while snorkeling, so bringing one would be great for preserving your travel memories.

I had an absolutely amazing time. I'm very satisfied!!

2回目の参加。
日本語対応のスタッフさんもいたため安心して参加することが出来ました。
昼食等は着いてなかったので、水分や食事が心配でしたが、お菓子などの軽食や暖かいココア等が準備されていたため、昼過ぎまでかかりますが特に空腹等は気にならなかったです。
無料で借りれるオプションがたくさんあったたも、潮が満ちていても浮き輪やカヤック等でたくさん遊べました。
シュノーケルでは、貸出のセットがあります。感染面が気になる方は各自用意するといいと思います。
泳ぎが苦手な方でもスタッフさんが浮き輪をもっていてそれに掴む方で泳ぐことも出来るので安心して参加できると思いました。

海の上や帰りのバスは寒いので長袖のラッシュガードや着替えは必ず持っていった方がいいと思います。また、水中カメラ等あるとシュノーケルの際に亀などもとれるためある方はもってくると旅の思い出を写真に残すことができると思います。
最高に楽しかったです。大満足です！！

Excellent crew and we saw whales! Crew was fun and knowledgeable at finding us 2 whales to follow. Saw plenty of blow spouts, and a few tails in the air and 1 spectacular jump which someone caught on video too. A very great time sailing

This was an awesome tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the pineapple farm. We sampled the best pineapple ever! So worth the time and money paid!
