Hawaii
Elvis and Michael may still be famous in America, but in Japan, they might be considered nostalgic. Even as someone over sixty who loves Western music, I don't really know what Elvis sounds like when he's singing live, so I thought it might be a bit much for younger people. I believe that traditional hula dancing is more representative of Hawaii.
Even though I was in the front row, only a few people in the middle got to shake hands with the singer playing Elvis. When we were leaving, he quickly avoided us when we got close. Why is that?
プレスリーもマイケルも、アメリカではまだ有名なのかもしれないけど、日本だともう懐メロの範疇かな。洋楽大好きな還暦過ぎの私でも、プレスリーなどリアルに歌っているのを知らないので、若い人にはちょっと無理かなと思いました。伝統的なフラダンスだけの方がハワイらしくて良いと思いました。
最前列なのに、プレスリー役の歌手には真ん中の数人のみ握手してもらえず。帰りのお見送りでも、近づくとさっと逃げられました。どうして?
I put on the lei, took a confirmation photo, and they also took a photo with our smartphone. When I was asked about transportation to the hotel and mentioned a taxi, they guided me to the taxi stand. The staff was very kind. Thank you very much.
レイをかけ、確認の写真を撮り、私たちのスマホでも写真を撮っていただきました。ホテルまでの交通手段を聞かれ、タクシーとわかると、乗り場まで案内してくれました。親切なスタッフさんでした。ありがとうございました。
Aloha, Sakura Saku!
Thank you for your review! It's wonderful that your regreeter, Glen, was able to assist you. Did you enjoy your visit to Oahu?

I would recommend the tour to everyone great view of the city at night.
All around great experience.
Had musicians on the boat that really put on a show on the way to and from the the water activities.
Great host that truly made the experience better.
Bumper tubes was fun, our driver definitely gave us a run for our money !
Worth every penny
I applied with excitement to enjoy the movie filming location. Following the misty mountains was a wonderful experience that captivated me with nature and horses.
映画の撮影現場を楽しみに申込みました。霧深い山々を辿るのは自然と馬に魅せられる素晴らしい体験でした。
It was amazing! A sea turtle floated right next to our kayak, and it was so moving! We also took a lot of photos.
最高でした!途中でウミガメがカヤックのすぐそばに浮かんできて感動でした!写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

I have to say, the the experience from the beginning was very impressive. Bruce, the tour guide reached out to everyone, he was very intelligent and very knowledgeable of all things we were doing. Bruce made sure everyone in the tour was taken care of, feed, and having a great time. At the volcano Brice made sure everyone in the group was safe and having a good time . We have been on many tours in the past and this by far was the most enjoyable tour we have ever taken. Thank you Brice for all you did.

Aloha David and Ofelia,
Thank you for posting your review! We appreciate you taking the time to do so. Bryce is a special guide and we're lucky to have him on Team Kailani! We hope you enjoyed your time on the island!
This Zip-line Tour was off the hook! David and Josh, along with the other staff, were awesome and very good at what they do! They’re safety instructions were very friendly and clear that made it a really simple and fast process. They’re funny humor kept my wife and I engaged and laughing the whole time which helped break the ice and had everyone conversing. The Zip-Lines are short at the beginning but that’s ok because it was our first time doing this type of activity and helped ease into the longer ones. The grand finale is awesome and are still super stoked about doing it! You won’t be disappointed. Oh! And you have to try the different types of bananas while tracking through the different Zip-Lines and don’t forget to enjoy the views! Once again, thank you Josh and David for a great time and all the info provided! Until next time!
The crew was fun, safe and respectful as well as extremely fun! We saw a minimum of 3 and a max of well… it was 7 or 8 at once. We were all so pleased with this even and I highly recommend going at sunset.
The rays were magnificent and gentle for such large creatures. They truly are a sight to see.
Will do this again on our next visit.
We had a great time on the tour. The description about black sand beacb was misleading we did t go there since it’s not anywhere near hilo but We got to see lava rocks, lava tubes and learned a lot about the National park and plants located on the island! Definitely recommend the tour
There is some hiking (up to 2 miles round trip) involved so definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket
This is great way to see all the sites at Pearl Harbor in a cost effective and easy way. No problems going between each site. Thank you so much .
We were a large group made up of first timers, young ones and experienced parasailers and had a great time. We initially experienced mechanical issues and had to scrap our excursion but were able to reschedule for the next day. The ride, commentary and overall experience was memorable, enjoyable and such a great time! Highly recommend, we will be back for sure. Thank you!!!
Great exerience!.....................................................................................................
Feast at Lele definitely held its place as the number 1 luau in Maui. Every element from music and dancing, to food and cocktails, to table service was excellent. It wasn’t “hokey” which we wondered if it would. We expected the cost of tickets would be up there, and it was, the return from the high quality of our experience more than made up for the investment.
All that said, and as a side note we had a table right up front and center to the stage. I might attribute that to the fact that we made our reservation six months in advance of our trip. So I urge you to make your reservation as far in advance as possible.
I’m so glad we chose this Luau, The atmosphere alone was phenomenal! Hands down to the dancers they put on a great show and definitely entertained. It’s a must do while visiting Maui.
I had a great time paddleboarding at the sandbar, and I was able to see a large turtle while snorkeling. The visibility was a bit poor, though.
サンドバーではサップしたりして楽しかった、シュノーケリングでは大きなカメを見ることができた。少し透明度が悪かった。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very happy to hear that you had a great time and encountered sea turtles. The sandbar is a truly mystical spot that shows different expressions depending on the day and time, so we will continue to strive as a team to ensure that everyone can enjoy the beautiful sandbar, regardless of the weather or tide levels. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
ウミガメに出会えて、楽しくツアーに参加していただけたとのことでとても嬉しく思います。
サンドバーはその日その時間によって違う表情を見せてくれるとても神秘的なスポットですので、天候や潮位に関わらず皆様に美しいサンドバーを満喫していただけるようこれからもスタッフ一同努力を重ねてまいります。
またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I experienced this three years ago and had so much fun that I decided to try it again. There were no single-person buggies available, only the six-person ones, but I still enjoyed the long journey with the beautiful scenery and thrills. The staff seemed to be making an effort to entertain us. As expected, there were few Japanese people, so a certain level of language skills was necessary! I relied on Pocketalk. I would love to go again if single-person buggies are available again.
3年前に体験して凄く楽しかったので再びチャレンジ 1人用のバギーはなくて6人乗りのみでしたが、それでも長い長い道のりで景色やスリルが楽しめました。スタッフさんも楽しませようと頑張っている感じでした さすがに日本人は少なくある程度の語学力が必要でした!私はポケトークのお世話になりました。 又1人用バギーが再開されたら行きたいですね
I'm glad I was able to easily go to Waikele, especially since there are few one-time tours available. However, it was disappointing that a few people did not arrive on time for the return bus, causing a delay of over 30 minutes. While this is more of a passenger etiquette issue than the bus's responsibility, I believe there should be a reminder that the bus will depart at the scheduled time, and if someone is late, they will need to find their own way back.
単発のツアーが少ない中、ワイケレに楽に行けて良かったです。帰りのバスの時間で、数名の方が時間通りに来ず、30分以上遅れる事があり残念でした。こちらのバスの責任というより、乗客のマナーの問題ですが、発車時刻に発車。来られなかったら、自分でお帰ることになるなどの注意喚起が必要だとも思いました。
First, want to acknowledge our awesome tour guide. His name was Garfield. This guy was full of information and his instructions were spot on. I have so much to say about this day. To me it was a little overwhelming all that we saw in such a short time. Between the Bowfin submarine tour, it's museum, the USS Arizona Memorial was spectacular and awe inspiring. The aviation museum was my favorite since I am an aviation buff. All the planes in various states of repair and some that were riddled with bullet holes was incredible. The Battleship Missouri was quite a sight to see. I wish I returned to spend more time to explore. This day was full of sights and emotion. Worth the price of admission for sure. Thank you again Garfield.
Well, we didn't start off on time due to an unavoidable traffic issue. Once Juicy showed up the trip began and he kept us rolling in the aisles with funny stories and excellent information about the sights. Did I mention that Juicy made up for arriving late? Each stop was awesome and he went out of his way to make it just that much more special. The lunch was some yet delicious. I feel bad because I actually forgot his real name. The only name we got familiar with was Juicy. What a sweet and funny man. I really connected with him. Glad we took this tour.
Perfect time to go snorkeling with my partner.
We had a blast that day. I recommend this activity, a lot of information.
This cruise was so much fun. It started off with the tour guide walking us through so interesting facts. The staff was really funny. They made you feel comfortable. The hula dancer was really good. When the boat landed at the trail, it was really easy. It’s a good tour for elderly or those that are physically challenged. I say this because the hike is more like a short walk on a maintained path. It was great and very inexpensive.
Vibe was great, music was awesome. They had live music on our trip to the location and played music while we played in the water. It was the best activity we booked on our trip. We enjoyed paddle boarding the best. But just hanging out in the middle of the ocean was so much fun. Would definitely recommend. I didn't book the extra activities and still had a great time. Don't forget to bring your reef safe sunscreen. The crew was great and very helpful.
The overall experience was amazing. It was the best part about our trip. The scenery is breathtaking. The best part was snorkeling in a hole that was bombed in 1942. When we snorkeled in the bomb hole we seen a couple turtles and other sea life. The only thing that I didn’t care for was that it is a workout to come back. I thought it was gonna be easy to kayak the way back but it was exhausting. So I would say give yourself some time to come back especially if you have young children because you will sweat.
Aloha Karissa! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review and amazing pictures! We really appreciate that! Stoked to hear you and your family had a great time (and got a great workout!). Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
The views were worth it. Didn’t really like the food. Opt out of photo as you will have time to go around the ship and take your own photos free of charge.
It was beautiful my first time riding a horse but she was very patient and helpful, we stopped next to the water to get photos and that was amazing, i can’t remember her name but she had short dark hair and was amazing telling us all about the land horses my husband and myself enjoyed it very much and would recommend it it was the sundown ride, it was so relaxing and we talked the whole time, thank you so much it was a great ending to a birthday
The rock and hula show was amazing!
It was a very good performance!
It took a while to eat because we had to share a table with a large group.
No one was wearing masks. In fact, hardly anyone wears masks in Hawaii.
Since people are sitting very close together, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are concerned about infections.
It seems that there are not many people who are worried about it in Hawaii.
The food was just okay. The meat was very delicious.
A plan that includes just the hula show might be a good option.
ロック ア フラショーは最高でした!
とてもよいパフォーマンスでした!
食事は大人数の相席でご飯を食べに行くまで時間がかかりました。
マスクをしている人はいません。そもそもハワイでマスクをしてる人はほぼいません。
隣の人と距離がとても近いので感染不安などある方はおすすめできません。
ハワイなので気にしている人は少なさそうです。
食事の内容はまぁまぁという感じです。お肉はとても美味しかったです。
フラショーだけのプランでもよいかもしれません。
An amazing experience!! Really quite breath taking and mist do for first time Maui visitors! We visited O toner 4th and it was cold at the summit. Dress warmly (pants, sweatshirts, hat and gloves)! A special shout out to Preston, who was an amazing guide! so knowledgeable and a terrific host!
We were a party of 7 ranging from 5 to 70. What an amazing experience. Great history knowledge. Great and friendly people. So much fun. Be prepared to make new friends and enjoy the Ohana of this wonderful group of people. Maka, Lucky, Hans, & so many others made this day a core memory for our family! The scenery is amazing. The tubing exceptional! Would do it again in a heart beat!
The canoe was a very cool option and keeps the number of people in the group low. The boat sailed a very short distance to the manta viewing area- great for me as I tend to get motion sick. The water was warmer than I thought- again great for me bc I think I’m allergic to cold water. I wore my own wetsuit but they provided everyone with a proper wetsuit top. I wore both and was fine. Our 12yo said he was cold but didn’t complain.
We were all provided snorkels and masks. We all got into the water and held onto a floating device equipped with an underwater light. There we’re several mantas in the area and a few of them swam within inches of us! One touched my arm with its belly. We were in the water about 30 minutes at best guess which was plenty of time in my opinion. I specifically booked a shorter tour for fear of getting sick or freezing but none occurred.
Overall it was a very cool experience and our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Definitely recommend this adventure!
