Hawaii
There was a kiosk right outside the arrival gate, and I was able to check in by giving my name. Since there was also a Japanese staff member, I felt reassured.
I waited for a bit on a nearby bench, and then got into the car. They helped me with putting my suitcase in, and since we were going to several hotels, I was able to head to the hotel comfortably even with a lot of luggage.
到着口から出たところにキオスクがあり、名前を伝えるとチェックインできました。日本人のスタッフさんもいらっしゃったので、安心できると思います。
近くのベンチで少し待ち、そこから車に乗り込みました。スーツケースを入れるのを手伝っていただき、あとは何件かホテルを回っていく流れだったので、荷物が多くても安心してホテルまで向かうことができました。
We just did a paddle boarding lesson with Eps. He was awesome and we spent a great time learning how to stand up and use the paddles properly. Eps was patient and gave us loads of info about the island he obviously loves. We saw loads of turtles, a baby shark and loads of fish. We will definitely try paddle boarding again.
I absolutely loved this Luau. The Chief was so funny and enjoyable. I highly recommend going to see Chief's Luau. This was my first Luau so I don't have anything to compare it to but I doubt it gets much better than this.
Extremely courteous, helpful, kind associates!
Rapid fire emcee , energetic and history lessons given free of charge
Awesome music, Very, very tasty hamburger , family friendly atmosphere and overall joyous vibes abound the excursion
We were really pleased with the waterfall hike and our tour guide, Katie. She got us hooked up with good footwear ($10 each to rent, which is definitely worth it). The hike itself was short but sweet, and we learned a lot about local plants and animals. Katie found some white Hawaiian ginger and showed us how to suck nectar from the roots and demonstrated how one might make paper using the papyrus growing by the water.
The waterfalls were gorgeous and very private. We were a small group of about 8 and we saw no one else. The second waterfall, the one you swim in, was wonderful. The water was cool but refreshing and Katie guided us all (even younger kids) as we climbed up to walk behind it.
After the swim you do have a few minutes of pretty steep climbing, but the shoes and the guard ropes really help and no one had any issues (aside from being a tad winded).
I highly recommend this tour and will absolutely do it again.
So much fun, so much culture and so much delicious food! My boyfriend and I left such happier people - well fed and high spirited. Everyone needs to experience the Chief's Luau. We can't wait to come back and enjoy it again. Mahalo!
We had such a unique experience going to the SandBar. It was like having our own little beach area. They provided lunch in our package. Live music was played during our boat ride there and back. They provided kayaks, paddle boards, life vests and snorkel gear. They were a fun crew and i can tell they enjoy working together. They were eager to help teach about Hawaiian culture and boat safety. It was one of the trip highlights and i would highly recommend to anyone to do it. Just be mindful of the tide as certain times the tide can be very high to your chest or low to your knees.
Great ride. Easy and convenient. Wish I could park a car as well as the captain maneuvered the boat!! The reservation said I could show tickets on my phone but they insist you go to the ticket booth and get the paper tickets. No big deal but we wasted time in line so wish we had known. If you want to sit outside on upper deck, get there much earlier than they recommend to be in line early enough on a full boat ride.
A must do while in Oahu! Great friendly staff, loved the bbq hamburgers. Volleyball, snorkeling and turtle watching. My favorite thing to do every time I visit Oahu.
Our guides were wonderful! They were knowledgeable and very friendly which made our experience that much better. The snorkeling spots were on point, and they give clear and concise directions on how to proceed at each location. Our group was small and intimate which I found ideal.
The captain and crew were AMAZING. Very Very knowledgeable of the animals and waters. Would 100% book again!!!
The crew is exceptional! You might be turned off initially that the crew is also performing but don’t be. They’re so good and very much a steward of the culture. They’re extremely talented, entertaining and my wife and I loved every minute of it! The food was good, the atmosphere was obviously amazing (it’s Maui). The captain is a super chill guy, he does a brief education of the islands that was super interesting and informative. I can’t say enough good things about this dinner cruise. To top is off the crew involved some of the guests in the show and everyone was just having a great time.
I highly recommend this activity, you won’t regret it!
My family and I really enjoyed this experience. It was something that could be enjoyed by everybody, those more adventurous or for those who wanted to “chill.” The sandbar they took us to was a beautiful place and the snorkeling location was awesome. We saw different fish and even had a surreal experience swimming by sea turtles. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Awesome experience. The captain and first mate were very patient, and communicated well. Took care to make sure everyone was safe. Took awesome pictures as well.
This is an intimate and friendly canoe trip. I enjoyed it with my three kids and the crew was helpful and patient with my littlest one who had never snorkeled. We got an incredible education about the Mantra Rays and saw them within inches of us. I can’t recommitting enough. I really liked having a smaller group and special type of boat.
Great day out with the crew! My family was visiting from the mainland and decided to bring them out to the sandbar. They were extremely happy with this experience!! Would def recommend this excursion.
Kama was a great instructor! Both my partner and I managed to catch some good waves for our first time surfing! I didn’t think we would be able to get a hang of it the first class. Kama’s great and straight forward instructions made surfing easy to grasp. Kama was also very observant and gave good feed back.
Really nice activity for those that want to move their legs a bit. These bikes have a motor so for anyone that thinks is not as fit, you can definitely do it! Great vibe from the crew that works at kualoa ranch and they made the ride really fun! Also they are super available to take pictures for you and get in on the fun. Also transportation was on time and everything was organized.
From the moment my husband and I boarded the Limo-van we were impressed. The seats were luxurious and each one had USB charging outlets.
The tour itself matched the high-class method of transport. Our driver, Paul Janes-Brown made sure to give us every opportunity possible to get great photos and gave us great insights into the history of Maui.
Highly recommend this tour!
I participated in a mountain bike tour for the first time. Since it was an electric assist bike, it was easy to go uphill. Even a fifth grader enjoyed it. We chose an easy course, and there were eight participants in the tour, with one guide explaining everything in English. The child didn't understand any English, but it was still fun just to explore that miraculous place. We didn't sweat excessively and could feel the refreshing breeze all over our bodies. At the filming location of Jurassic Park, they took photos and videos of each group pretending to be the cast. Everyone got into character, and we shared laughs over each other's performances, spending a wonderful time together.
初めてマウンテンバイクツアーに参加しました。
電動アシスト自転車なので、坂道も楽です。小学校5年生の子も楽しんでいました。
私たちは簡単なコースを選びました。ツアーは8人が参加し、1人のガイドさんが英語で説明してくれました。子供は英語が全く分かりませんが、それでもあの奇跡的な場所を巡るだけでも楽しいです。べったりと汗ばむこともなく、さわやかな風を全身で感じられます。ジュラシックパークの撮影地では出演者になりきる写真や動画を1組ずつ撮ってくれました。皆さん役者になりきり、それぞれの熱演を笑い合いステキな時間を過ごせました。
The parking lot right next to the Hilton is easy to find as the check-in location! After about a 10-minute boat ride, we arrived at the sailing point. Tethered to the parachute, we were off into the sky! The wind felt amazing! You can see the horizon stretching far away, and it's great to have a panoramic view of Waikiki and Honolulu! It was such a pleasant experience, and I felt fantastic!
ヒルトンからすぐの駐車場が受付場所でわかりやすい!!
ボートで10分ほど行くとセーリングポイントへ到着。
パラにつながれていざ天空へ!
風が気持ちいい~~~~~!
水平線が遠くまで見通せるし、ワイキキの町・ホノルルの町を
一望できるというのもこれまた良いですね!
気持ちよくて、最高な気分でした!!
The weather was mostly cloudy, but it hardly rained. The contrast between the white sandbar and the surrounding sea was beautiful. At the turtle point, I encountered many sea turtles, and they were adorable. A little further away, there were a few manta rays, and everyone was excited to see manta rays during the day, which is quite rare! Of course, I was too! This was my second time at the sandbar, and although I haven't experienced perfectly clear weather yet, just being able to see the beautiful contrast of the sea is soothing for the soul!
天気は、曇りがちでしたが雨になることはほぼなく
サンドバーの白さと周りの海の色のコントラストがきれいでした。
ウミガメにポイントでは、たくさんのウミガメにも出会えて
かわいかったです。
少し、離れたところでは、数匹のマンタレイも居て
めったに見ることがない昼間のマンタに皆さん興奮してましたね!
もちろん、私も!!
今回で2度目のサンドバーですが、なかなか快晴!!
という天気には巡り会えてませんが、きれいな海のコントラスト
を見れるだけで、心が癒やされます!
It was very scary and very fun! Before boarding, the dolphins welcomed us, and my daughter was very satisfied. I recommend filming during the ride. I will challenge myself again. Since check-in is hot, let's choose a good time. It's a 7-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel. I'm also satisfied with the price. From the Sheraton, it's by taxi.
大変怖くて大変楽しい気持ちいい〜!乗る前はイルカも大歓迎してくれて娘も大満足でした。乗ってる時は動画での撮影をお勧めします。またチャレンジします。チェックインは暑いのでちょうど良い時間にしましょう。ヒルトンホテルから歩いて7分です。金額も満足です。シェラトンからはタクシーで
It was more expensive and amazing than what we did in Okinawa before. Since the flights are for two people at a time, there were some who got seasick while waiting on the boat.
以前沖縄でやったのより高くてすごかったです。2人ずつのフライトなので、ボートでの待ち時間に船酔いした人がいました。
Service was great! We loved the show. Drinks are not weak! Lol
The food was good but not great in my opinion.
Arrived 5 minutes late, but it was almost on time. Unfortunately, it was fully booked, so the three of us had to sit separately. I was a bit surprised to see people sitting next to strangers and some without masks during this time; there seems to be a bit of a relaxation in caution! This isn't the tour company's responsibility, but they did store our luggage neatly on the shelves in the vehicle, which was reassuring.
5分遅れで到着、ほぼ時間通りでした、
あいにくの満席で3人利用でバラバラに座る事になりました、この時期に知らない人の隣やマスク無しの人も見受けられ少しびっくりしました、気の緩みがどうしてもあるのでしょう!これはツアー会社の責任ではありませんが、
荷物も車内の棚に並べて収納してくれるので重ねられず安心でした、
My first visit to Kualoa Ranch.
I actually wanted to do the Raptor Tour, but the morning tour was fully booked, so I decided on the E Mountain Bike Tour.
I’m 152 cm tall, and I was worried about being able to ride a mountain bike, but I was able to borrow a kids' bike (there happened to be one available). However, since the wheels were small, it was quite challenging to keep up.
As for the content, we were able to visit several movie filming locations, and it felt really nice to experience the wind while biking.
There were 8 people in our team, and the staff were cheerful. They explained various things, so I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood what they were saying. I would like to try the Japanese Raptor Tour next time!
Since it was August, I was worried about insect bites, but there were hardly any bugs, and I didn’t get bitten. Also, since we rode for two hours, you can get sunburned! There were quite a few people participating in long sleeves. I recommend sun protection!
The tour was from 9:30 to 11:30. The bus departed at 1 PM, so after the tour, I looked around the souvenir shop and had a light lunch. I had read that the food wasn’t very good, but that wasn’t the case! If I could wish for something, it would have been nice to have a beer.
初のクアロアランチ。
本当はラプターツアーが良かったのですが、午前のツアーがいっぱいでEマウンテンバイクツアーにすることに。
私は身長152cmで、マウンテンバイクに乗れるか不安だったのですが
子供用のバイクを借りれました。(たまたま1つ空きがありました。)
ただ、車輪が小さいので着いていくのが結構大変でした。><
内容としては、映画のロケ地もいくつか回れたし、自転車ならではの風を感じることができてとても気持ちよかったです。
1チーム8人でスタッフの人も陽気でした。
色々と説明してくれていたので、何を言っているか分かったら、もう少し楽しめたかな・・と思います。
次回は、日本語のラプターツアーができたらまた行ってみたいです!
8月だったので虫刺されが心配でしたが虫はほとんどいなくて刺されることはありませんでした。
あと、2時間自転車で走るので、焼けます!
長袖で参加している人も結構いました。
紫外線対策をおすすめします!!
9:30~11:30がツアー参加。
13時にバスが出発するので、終わった後はお土産ショップ見たり軽くランチしました。
あまり美味しくない、、と書かれてましたがそんなことはなかったです!
欲を言えば、ビールくらい飲めるとよかったのになぁと思いました〜〜。
I thought we were going to an island, but it turned out to be a shallow area in the sea. It was a very mysterious place where you can enjoy various marine sports, and they teach you how to do them and how to ride, so it's reassuring. The donuts were delicious, and it was perfect!
島に行くのかと思っていたら海の中の浅瀬でした。とても不思議な場所でそこではいろんなマリンスポーツができ、やり方も乗り方も教えてもらえるので安心。ドーナツも美味しく、完璧でした!
Before the experience, I was so nervous that I even regretted signing up, but once I actually did it, it was incredibly enjoyable and fun! They also give you the photos on an SD card for $40.
体験前はドキドキで申し込んだことを後悔すらしましたが、実際やってみるとサイコーに気持ち良く楽しかったです!写真も$40でSDカードで渡してくれます。
absolutely love the tour. Never been snorkeling in Hawaii. Bucket list checked. Definitely will do this again!
Aloha Mike! 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 photos. We really appreciate that. It looks like you had a great day on the water! Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
