All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

On the last night of our trip, we decided to have dinner at a restaurant. This was our first time trying an Italian place, which is a famous restaurant always featured in guidebooks, so it was very helpful to be able to make a reservation in advance.

The food was indeed as wonderful as the reviews suggested. The portion sizes were just right—not too much and not too little. The staff's service was attentive, and we were almost completely satisfied.

However, one disappointing aspect was that we were seated on the terrace, but the weather was unpredictable that day, and we experienced a sudden downpour. We were seated a bit in the middle and got a little wet. The couple sitting on the outer edge was exposed to the wind and rain, which was quite unfortunate. Additionally, the heavy traffic on the road to the north was a bit of a letdown.

Is it only possible to reserve a table on the terrace in advance? If we visit again, I would prefer to book a table indoors.

旅行最後の夜は、レストランでディナーをすることにしています。
今回初めてイタリアンのお店を利用しました。ガイドブックに必ず紹介されている有名店なので事前予約できるのは、大変助かりました。
お料理はやはり評判通り素晴らしかったです。量も多過ぎず少な過ぎずちょうどいい感じ。スタッフのサービスも行き届き、ほぼ満足できました。
ただ、ひとつ残念だったのは、テラス席に案内されたのですが、その日は天候不順で途中もの凄いスコールに………。私たちは少し中ほどの席で少し濡れてしまいました。一番外側に座っていたカップルは、風雨にさらされ、とても気の毒でした。また、北側道路は交通量が多く、少し興ざめしました。
事前予約は、テラス席でしか取れないのでしょうか。
次回利用することがあれば、店内の席で予約したいと思います。

I rode a mountain bike for the first time on this tour, and at first, I was very anxious because there was no Japanese guide. However, the local guide patiently taught me how to ride using gestures, and when I looked unsteady while riding, they quickly came to assist me, allowing me to enjoy the experience without injury. In Japan, it's not easy to have the experience of biking up unpaved mountain trails, so the jungle-like paths and the occasional views of the ocean were very refreshing, and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature. I would like to participate in this tour again when I travel to Hawaii.

　私はこのツアーで初めてマウンテンバイクに乗ったのですが、最初は日本人のガイドさんもいなくて非常に不安でした。しかし、現地のガイドさんが乗り方などを身振り手振りで丁寧に教えてくれたり、実際に乗っているときも危なげな様子に気づいては直ぐにフォローしに来てくれたので、怪我なく楽しく乗ることが出来ました。日本では舗装されていない山道を自転車で登る経験はなかなか出来ないので、ジャングルのような山道や、時折見下ろす海の風景はとても新鮮で、自然の雄大さに圧倒されました。またハワイに旅行するときはもう一度このツアーに参加したいと思います。

After arriving in Honolulu, we had some time before the afternoon check-in at the condominium, so we chose to stop by Ala Moana Center for some shopping reconnaissance. The lounge was very convenient as they stored our family's four suitcases. It was just before the COVID-19 outbreak, so there were fewer tourists, allowing us to relax comfortably. We had lunch at the food court in the center and coincidentally got to see a hula dance performance, which really got us into the Honolulu spirit from day one. The friendly lounge staff and the cheerful shuttle bus driver were also highlights. I highly recommend it!

ホノルル到着後、コンドミニアムの午後のチェックインタイムまで時間が空くので、ショッピングの下見も兼ねて、アラモアナ・センターへ立ち寄るコースを選択しました。ラウンジでは家族4名のスーツケースを預かって頂け、とても便利。ちょうどコロナ感染拡大前で旅行客が減少してきたころだったので、ゆったり過ごさせて頂きました。センターのフードコートで昼食を取り、偶然センター内のフラダンスステージも見学できたので、初日からホノルル気分が盛り上がりました。フレンドリーなラウンジ係員の方、シャトルバスの陽気なドライバーさんもポイントが高かったです。お薦めです！

After arriving at the airport, I was able to go through immigration smoothly, so I arrived at the meeting point early. Since there was some waiting time until the bus arrived, it would have been even better if that waiting time had been a little shorter. It was good for the price.

空港到着後スムーズに入国ができたため
早めに出迎え場所に到着　
そこでバスが到着するまで待ち時間があったため
その待ち時間がもう少しであれば
より一層よい。価格の割にはＧＯＯＤでした。

It was definitely a tour I wanted to join when I went to Maui! The vehicle was a bit cramped, but I’m glad I participated.

マウイ島に行ったら絶対に参加したいツアーでした！
移動の車はちょっと狭かったけど、参加できてよかったです。

Many reviews mentioned that the sea in Hawaii is cold in February, so I prepared myself for that. I visited in late February, but we were blessed with great weather and had a beautiful sandbar experience, which made it worth participating! The staff took many memorable photos of us at the sandbar, and we enjoyed a delicious barbecue until we were full, which left us very satisfied. We even encountered a honu (sea turtle) and had our first stand-up paddleboarding experience, creating wonderful honeymoon memories. 😊

ハワイの2月の海は寒いという口コミが多く、覚悟して参加しました。2月下旬に伺いましたが、天気に恵まれてとっても綺麗なサンドバー体験が出来、参加してよかったです！
サンドバーでの記念写真をスタッフさんにたくさんとっていただいたり、お腹いっぱい美味しいバーベキューもいただき満足してます。ホヌにも出会えて、初SUPも経験できていいハネムーンの思い出ができました(^ ^)

The location of the office was difficult to find even with the navigation, but a juice shop along the way gave me detailed directions, so I was able to arrive. We descended a steep slope in a 4WD vehicle to the valley floor, rode friendly horses across the river in Waipi'o Valley, and passed through the forest. It was safe, and the saddle cushion was good, so my legs (groin) didn't hurt too much. However, the horses' speeds varied, and I couldn't keep up with the guide, so I missed out on some explanations in the second half, which was disappointing. I guess it's difficult to match the pace with horses...

事務所の場所がナビでも分かりにくかったですが　途中のジュース屋さんが詳しく教えてくれたので到着できました。急斜面を4駆で谷底に降りて　フレンドリーな馬たちに乗ってワイピオ渓谷の川をわたったり、森の中を抜けたり、安全にでき鞍のクッションがいいのかそんなに足（股間）も痛くなかったです。ただ馬の速度がまちまちでガイドさんについていけず、後半は離れてしまって説明が聞き取れず残念。馬さんなので歩調を合わせるのは難しいのかな・・・

The driver who picked us up and the boat staff were cheerful and energetic, making the tour very enjoyable. The turtles didn't come close, but we were able to see them from a distance. Last time, they came right next to us, so I was a bit disappointed... (；∀；) I want to try again next time!

お迎えの運転手さんも船のスタッフの方も明るく元気でとても楽しくツアーに参加させていただきました。
カメさんは近くには寄って来なかったですが、遠くから見ることができました。前回は真横に来たので少し残念‥( ；∀；)次回リベンジしたいと思います！

Since check-in at the hotel was after 3 PM, I stopped by the lounge at Ala Moana Center, where I was able to leave my luggage and wander around for about three hours without any bags, which made me feel like I gained an extra day. The KCC Farmers Market on Saturday was suddenly canceled due to the COVID-19 situation, but aside from that, I had a fun eight days shopping and exploring. I've been here about seven times since my honeymoon 40 years ago, but this time I spent my time using TheBus and walking instead of renting a car. On the way back, I also used the shuttle service to the airport.

ホテルのチェエクインが15時以降だったので、途中のアラモアナ・センターのラウンジに立ち寄り荷物を預けて手ぶらで３時間位ブラブラ出来たので１日得したような気がしました。土曜日のKCCファーマーズマーケットは新型コロナウイルス騒ぎで突如中止でしたが、それ以外は買い物などで楽しい８日間を過ごせました。４０年前の新婚旅行以来７回ほど来ていますが、今回はレンタカーを借りずにTheBusと歩きで過ごしました。帰りもシャトルサービスで空港までお世話になりました。

The airport was very crowded the year before last, and I was kept waiting until the last minute for my flight, which was quite nerve-wracking. Last year, I was picked up right in front of the hotel, and the road to the airport was smooth, which was great. I had requested the same service this year, but due to the impact of the coronavirus, it was canceled, and I am very sorry about that. I look forward to your assistance next year as well.

一昨年は　空港がとても混雑して　待たされ　飛行機の搭乗時間　ぎりぎりになり　とても　ハラハラしました　昨年は　ホテルの前まで　迎えに来て下さり　空港までの道も　スムーズで　とても良かったです　また今年も　お願いしていたのですが　コロナウイルスの影響で　キャンセルに　なり　とても申し訳ありませんでした　来年もよろしくお願いします。

There are one-way streets, and I had to go down the same road multiple times, which was inefficient and took a long time to get to the hotel. Please improve the directions a bit more.

A tour located a short bus ride from Honolulu. The views of both the mountains and the ocean are great, and the guides' explanations are entertaining. It seems to be frequently used as a filming location, so if you love Hollywood movies, you'll especially enjoy this tour. However, even if you're not interested in that, the scenery is beautiful enough to enjoy. Just keep in mind that the jungle exploration might be a bit challenging for those who get motion sickness.

ホノルルからバスでしばらく行った場所でのツアー。
山も海も眺めがよく，またガイドさんたちの説明も面白い。
映画ロケ地として頻繁に使われているようなので，ハリウッド映画が好きなら特に楽しめるツアー。でも関心が無くても，景色は十分に綺麗で楽しめます。
ただジャングル探検は車酔いするひとにはちょっと大変かもしれません。

I was able to see whales quite well. However, it may depend a lot on luck. When I went, it seemed that there was only one whale nearby, and I saw it come up to the surface a few times. There are times when you can see multiple whales. You can't get too close to the whales (it seems that getting too close is prohibited). Also, when they come up for air, they dive back down, so you have to wait for a while for them to surface again. The whales are great, but the rainbow was very beautiful, and you can also see Waikiki Beach from the ocean side. That view was nice as well.

鯨はしっかり見られました。
ただしかなり運にも左右されるかもです。自分が行ったときには一頭しか近くにはいなかったようで，それが海面まで上がってくるのを何回か見た感じです。
何頭も見られるときもあるようです。
鯨はそこまで間近で見られるわけではありません（あまり近づくのは禁止されているようです）
また息継ぎをすると潜ってしまうので，次上がってくるのをしばらく待つことになります。
鯨も良いですが，虹がとてもきれいに見え，またワイキキビーチを海側から見えます。そちらの眺めも良かったですね。

It's just a shuttle service, so there's no conversation, just shared transportation. There's nothing particularly special about it, but I think it's cheaper than taking a taxi.

送迎だけなので何も会話もなく乗合で移動だけです。特に特徴はないけどタクシー代よりは安く行けると思います。

We booked the tour in advance of our visit to Hawaii. We have been big fans of the series since the first season and were happy to be able to visit an original spot from the series. We were picked up by Sean at the hotel and during our trip we got a lot of information about the series and Hawaii. He has a very pleasant way of passing on his knowledge to his guests. At McGarrett's house Flippa did not receive us - it was a surprise for the rest of the group - because we were connected via social media and knew what was going on. It was a very nice lunch with Sean and Shawn. We visited the house inside and outside, talked to the owners Richard and Sooz, had fun with their dog Yogi and took numerous pictures.We sat in the chairs and looked at the sea - like Steve and Danny in the series. These are incredible feelings of happiness! This tour is unique. Who is a fan of the series and a guest on Oahu should not miss this excursion. Mahalo nui loa Sean & Shawn !!! we will never forget this awesome Day !!!

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Since I was there, I thought it would be nice to see a show, so I booked this place based on good reviews.

First, the food. The buffet-style dinner had a wide variety of options, including meat, fish, and cakes, and everything was very delicious. During the meal, they shared stories about history and we were able to watch a simple show.

After dinner, we moved to a room with a stage. Our seats were in the middle of the front row on the second floor, so we had a great view. The show included impersonations, a fire show, and hula dancing.

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos.

Both the food and the show were amazing!

初めてのハワイ旅行。せっかくなので、ショーを見たいなぁと思い、口コミが良かったこちらを予約しました。

まずは、ご飯。
ビュッフェスタイルの夜ご飯は、肉、魚、ケーキなど種類が多く、どれもとても美味しかったです。
食事中は歴史の話をしてくれたり、簡単なショーを見ることが出来ました。

食事が終わると、ステージがある部屋に移動。
ショーは２階席の１番前の真ん中くらいでしたので、凄く良く見えました。
ショーは、モノマネやファイヤーショー、フラダンスがありました。

ショーが終わると記念写真を撮ることが出来ました。

ご飯もショーも最高でした‼

It was the last day of our graduation trip, and I was completely exhausted, but the refreshing experience made it all worth it. After being taken by boat to the boarding area on the water, we had to wait about 30 minutes, which felt a bit long, but the friendly staff chatted with us in English, helping to pass the time. We went as a group of six, and we were told we could jump in, so some of us did just that and had fun splashing around—though I think we probably weren't supposed to!

At first, I struggled to operate the jet ski, but I gradually got the hang of it and by the end, I was zooming around at full throttle on the water. The riding time was 30 minutes, but after 15 minutes, we returned to the boarding area and then went back out for another 15 minutes. I believe this was to turn on the camera attached to the boat and to allow for a switch if you were riding in pairs.

Also, if you don't bring your own goggles, you'll need to rent them for $10, so be careful about that. If you're debating between riding solo or in pairs, I definitely recommend going solo. A friend who rode in pairs mentioned that it was quite difficult to maneuver. Plus, since the riding time is short at just 30 minutes, riding solo makes it easier to control and ensures you can enjoy it longer than if you were in pairs. In Japan, you need a license for jet skiing, so make sure to enjoy this experience in Hawaii!

卒業旅行の最終日ということもあり疲労困憊でしたが、そんなものもぶっ飛ぶ爽快感でした。ボートで海上の乗り場まで連れていってもらったあとの待ち時間は30分ほどと長めでしたがスタッフの人がフレンドリーに話しかけてきてくれたり（英語）と暇を潰せました。6人組で行きましたが飛び込んでいいよと言われたので飛び込んで遊んでるやつもいました笑多分やっちゃダメですが。ジェットスキーは最初は操作が思うように行きませんでしたが徐々に慣れていき最後はフルスロットルで水上を走り回っていました。乗る時間は30分ですが15分たったら一旦乗り場に戻ってまた15分間乗るという感じでした。おそらくボートにつけているカメラのスイッチをONにするのと2人乗りであればそこで交代するための行程だと思います。あと、ゴーグルは持っていってないと10ドルでレンタルすることになるので注意が必要です。それに1人乗りか2人乗りで悩んでいるなら断然1人乗りをおすすめします。なぜなら2人乗りでジェットスキーをしていた友達が言うにはかなり操縦が難しいと言っていたからです。それに30分と短い時間なので1人乗りのほうが操縦がしやすく2人乗りよりも長く楽しめること間違いないです。ジェットスキーは日本では免許がいるのでこのハワイで是非とも楽しんでください。

The weather was unfortunately not great, but there were plenty of fish playing around while snorkeling, and a sea turtle was swimming right next to us. The barbecue after getting back on the boat was also fantastic!

生憎の天気でしたが、シュノーケルではたくさんの魚が戯れており海亀もほんのすぐ横をすいすい泳いでいました｡船に上がってからのバーベキューも最高！！

We participated in the early morning plan. The guides taught us patiently, and even as a couple in our 50s who were kayaking for the first time, we were able to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii. We didn't have the chance to look for dolphins, but we had a wonderful time snorkeling and seeing beautiful fish. The guide took various photos for us, and we received them later, which turned out to be a lovely collection of memories. Thank you very much.

早朝プランに参加しました。
カヤックが初めての５０代夫婦の私達に、丁寧に教えてくださり、私達でもカヤックでハワイの海を満喫することができました。
私達にイルカを探す余裕はありませんでしたが、シュノーケリングで綺麗な魚達を見ることができ、とても楽しい時間となりました。
ガイドさんが、いろいろな写真を撮ってくださり、あとで送ってもらえたので、沢山の写真が素敵な思い出となりました。
ありがとうございます。

The staff were so cheerful and wonderful, and the view after parasailing was just amazing! I really shouldn't have been scared! It was too beautiful. I also found something wonderful!

I forgot the name of the staff member, but the charming guy took so many photos for me, so it became a really great memory! It might have been tourist prices, but it was such a fun experience that I bought an SD card!

I really recommend parasailing.

スタッフさん陽気すぎて素敵だし、
パラセイルで上がったあとの景色！ほんと怖がってる場合じゃない！！！！素敵すぎて。にも見つけられました！すてきすぎ！！
あとスタッフのお名前忘れちゃったけど
プレイボーイな彼がめっちゃ写真とってくれたからとてもいい思い出になりました！
観光地価格かもだけど楽しい思い出なのでＳＤカード買いましたよ！
ほんとにパラセイルおすすめです。

We wear a bit Leary of scheduling this excursion- but had heard great things about it- it was a cold overcast morning and we thought that would be miserable but we had a great time! Great tour guides kept us entertained and having fun- felt super safe the entire time and glad we booked it! Nice lunch at the end and fun scenic ride on the way in and back out. We’ll be back with the family for sure.

Great time, great fun, great crew. Nice boat for this trip and we enjoyed our time on water. Thanks for a great crew, and just a slow down time to enjoy Hawaii. I will do this trip again next time I'm here. Thanks again. Captain Jerry in Texas.

It might be unavoidable at this time of year, but I really want to go during low tide! I checked the tide times and chose my schedule, but the tour didn't match the low tide, and the water level was still up to my waist. However, there is a thrill in being able to walk right in the middle of the ocean. I think it would be the best tour if you can book it during perfect conditions. I did see sea turtles and fish, at least. The tour was only with Japanese participants.

この時期は仕方ないのかもしれませんが、やはり干潮の時に行きたい！！ 潮の満ち引きの時間を調べてから時間を選びましたが、干潮時間とツアーが合わず、やはり腰まで水位がありました。でも海のど真ん中で歩けるという感動はあります。 完璧な状態のときに申し込めば最高のツアーだと思います。 海亀も魚も一応見れました。
ツアーは日本人だけでした。

The staff was generally kind and good, but I think the tour would be tough unless you have native-level English skills. Normally, drinks other than alcohol were all-you-can-drink, and chips were served. There were about 30 people, and there were no Japanese people at all.

普通に親切でいいスタッフでしたが、ツアー自体ネイティブ並みの英語力じゃないときついと思います。普通に、飲み物はアルコール以外は飲み放題でチップスが出ました。30人くらいいて日本人は一切いませんでした。

We participated as a family of four. My husband, who has a fear of heights, watched and took photos from the boat, while I flew with our 5-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was my first experience as well, but the kids were constantly excited. It was a bit cold up in the air, but there was a rainbow, and the scenery was amazing. The staff on the boat were also very entertaining. Even the next day and the day after that, and after we returned home, the kids keep saying they want to do it again!

家族４人で参加させて頂きました。
高所恐怖症の主人はボートで見学&写真撮影、5歳と9歳の子供と私の３人で飛びました。私も初体験でしたが、子供たちはずーっと興奮しっぱなしでした。上空は少し寒かったですが、丁度虹もかかっていたり景色も最高でした。ボートにのってくれたスタッフの方もとても面白かったです^ ^
次の日もその次の日も、そして帰ってきてからも子供たちは、またやりたーい！と言っています。

My my what can I say about Captain Bobs?! I have now gone on Captain Bobs Adventure 3 times now!! Everytime I have visited Hawaii, I have taken new friends and family to experience this amazing tour that is fun filled for all ages. The crew is exceptionally welcoming and entertaining and it is just one of the best experiences I've had in Hawaii.

You can either get picked up by their shuttle or drive yourself to the pickup spot and your day goes from about 10:30-3:00pm give or take. They continue the tour rain or shine so if the weather seems kind of gloomy, be sure to take a light rain coat! The first two times I went the weather was nice and sunny, however the last time I went there were scattered showers that were on and off throughout the whole tour. It did get a little chilly but once you're swimming in the water it's not so bad.

My favorite part of Captain Bobs is the Sandbar part where you get to play volleyball, stand in the middle of the ocean, and eat some delicious burgers, beans, and nachos after! You get to see a bunch of sea turtles swimming while on the way to the Snorkeling area and then you get to snorkel among the reef, Since it got kind of chilly after they even gave us hot chocolate/tea!

My recommendations are: bring sunglasses, towel, light rain jacket, water shoes, underwater phone case to take photos, snacks, and most of all, bring your A game to play volleyball!

I participated in whale watching. I was able to see 4 or 5 whales spouting in the distance. I was thrilled to see the whales, but it was also great to be on a boat with many native speakers, which added to the atmosphere.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠くのかなたで潮を吹いているクジラを4、5頭見られました。くじらを見たことも感激しましたが、ネイティブの方が多く乗っている船で、その雰囲気がよかったです。

I saw a manta tour on a TV program about the Big Island of Hawaii. After seeing those impressive scenes, I thought I would definitely join a manta tour when I visited the Big Island. This time, I was greeted by a Japanese woman who provided clear guidance. The manta tour instructor was a handsome half-Japanese guy who spoke a mix of Gifu and Nagoya dialects. (He mentioned that his mother is from Nagoya and he lived in Japan until elementary school.) We took quite a boat ride from the port to the manta point, but we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset along the way. Once we arrived at the point, we quickly put on our masks and snorkels and jumped into the sea. Holding onto a square rubber boat about the size of two tatami mats, I peered into the water and saw small fish gathering around the light. After waiting for a while, a manta appeared at the seabed about 10 meters deep. The manta swam into the light, allowing us to see it well. After that, one or two more mantas passed by. One manta even swam close to our boat, and I was moved by its impressive presence. Even in Hawaii, March can be a bit chilly, so a wetsuit was necessary.

以前TV番組でハワイ島のマンタツアーを見ました。その迫力あるシーンを見てハワイ島に行ったら絶対マンタツアーに参加しようと思っていました。今回は」出迎えは日本人の女性で分かりやすく案内してくれました。マンターツアーのインストラクターは岐阜弁と名古屋弁が混ざったイントネーションの日本語を話すハーフのイケメンでした。（お母さんが名古屋出身で本人は小学校まで日本に住んでいたとのこと）港からマンタポイントまで結構船に乗りましたが途中きれいなサンセットを堪能することができました。ポイントに着くとマスクとシュノーケルを着けて直ぐに海に飛び込みました。２畳ほどの大きさのある正方形のゴムボートに掴り、海中を覗くとライトの光に小魚の群れが集まってきました。しばらく待っていると水深10メートルくらいの海底にマンタが１枚現れました。ライトの光が当たる場所にマンタが入りよく見ることが出来ました。その後も１枚２枚とマンタが通り過ぎて行きました。その中で私たちのボートの近くまでマンタが泳いで来て、その迫力に感動しました。ハワイと言えども３月は少し寒いので、ウエットスーツは必要でした。

Airport transfer from the hotel
I dislike waiting, so when I called, I was told they would arrive in 5 minutes, and they arrived exactly in 5 minutes.
It was quite good.

ホテルから空港送り
待ち時間が嫌なため、電話をいれたら、後5分で到着する！と言われたらきっちり５分で到着しました。
なかなか良いです。

There were mostly Japanese groups. We were the only group of individual applicants, and I was worried about whether we would see whales. There were many announcements in Japanese, and we were able to see whales several times right next to the boat. Even dolphins came close to the boat. I am very satisfied.

日本人は、団体ばかり。個人申込の日本人グループは自分たちだけ、クジラも会えるか心配でした。
日本語の案内も多く、クジラも何度も船のそばで見る事ができました。イルカまで船の近くまでやって来ました。大満足です。
