I participated in the Haleiwa walking tour.
The flow was from Dole Plantation to exploring Haleiwa. Due to multiple courses sharing the same shuttle, the stay at Dole Plantation was only 30 minutes. I hurried through shopping and had some soft serve ice cream, so it would have been nice to have about 15 more minutes there.
The time spent exploring Haleiwa was a generous 4 hours, which was just right for enjoying the ocean, visiting cafes, and having lunch.
Gem, who provided the shuttle service, was very knowledgeable and shared information about Hawaii's history, climate, and other interesting facts along the way, which was extremely educational!

ハレイワ散策コースに参加しました。
Dole プランテーション→ハレイワ散策という流れでした。同じ送迎車複数のコースの方がいらっしゃる関係でDole プランテーションの滞在時間が30分でした。駆け足でショッピングをしソフトクリームを食べたので、あと15分くらい滞在時間があったらよかったです。
ハレイワ散策はたっぷり4時間あり、海を見たりカフェに行ったり、ランチをしたりして過ごすとちょうど良かったです。
送迎をしてくださったGemさんはとでも知識豊富でハワイの歴史や気候、そのほか他人に教えてくなるようなハワイについての情報を道中で教えてくださり、非常に勉強になりました！

I went horseback riding. The horse was calm, and the instructor was very friendly. They primarily communicate in English, but for those who are not comfortable with English, they provide important instructions (like the horse's seating position) in Japanese. The scenery was also wonderful, and I felt it was worth participating.

If there are few activities, the waiting time for the return bus can be long, but if you inform the reception, you can take the city bus back to the Waikiki area. There is a bus stop about a 4-5 minute walk from Kualoa Ranch, and the travel time is about the same as the shuttle, around one hour. It costs $3 per person, but if horseback riding is the only activity and you have to wait nearly three hours for the shuttle, taking the city bus is a good way to make effective use of your time. For those who find the city bus a bit daunting, you can also call an Uber or a taxi, which might be another option.

乗馬をしました。馬は大人しく、インストラクターさんは非常に気さくで基本的には英語対応ですが、英語が苦手な方には、重要な点(馬の座り位置など)は日本語で指示を出してくれます。景色も素晴らしく参加して良かったと思いました。

アクティビティが少ないと帰りのバスまでの待ち時間が長いのですが、受付に申し出れば市バスでワイキキエリアへ帰ることが可能です。クアロア牧場から歩いて4-5分のところにバス停があり、移動時間は送迎と同じ1時間程度でした。3USD/人かかりますが、アクティビティが乗馬だけで送迎のバスまで3時間近く待つ日程だったので時間を有効活用したい方は市バスで帰るのはありかと思います。
市バスがハードルが高い方はUber、タクシーも呼べるのでそれもありかもしれないです。

I couldn't find the sign listed on the website, but there was a similar sign for "Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides" nearby. When I went inside to ask, they confirmed that this was the right place. It might be better to aim for this name from the start.

I had heard from reviews that there would be Japanese guidance available, but I couldn't find any, and all the explanations were in English. I was quite anxious since there were only foreign customers, but the operation was easy, and the staff were kind, so I was able to ride without any worries.

We walked through the pine forest right next to the coast, and occasionally, we got to walk on the beach, making for a fantastic location throughout the experience. They also take photos when you reach the beach.

I think this is an activity that you absolutely must experience when you come to Hawaii. I highly recommend it! (However, I think it may not be suitable for those who are experienced riders and want to run or perform advanced maneuvers, as it is a slow-paced ride.)

サイトに載っている看板は見当たらず、よく似た名前の「Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides」という看板がすぐ近くにあり、中に入って聞いてみるとここで合っているとの事。最初からこの名前の看板を目掛けて行った方がいいかもしれません。
あと口コミで日本語の案内が置いてあると聞いていましたがどこにも無く、説明も全てオールイングリッシュ、外国のお客さんばかりで不安でいっぱいでしたが、操作も簡単でスタッフの方も優しく、何も心配なく乗ることができました。
海岸すぐ横の松林を歩き、たまに広いビーチになるとビーチを歩く瞬間もあり、終始最高のロケーションの中楽しく過ごすことができました。
途中ビーチに出た時に写真も撮ってくれます。
ハワイに来たら絶対に体験した方がいいアクティビティだと思います。
本当にオススメです！！(但し乗馬に慣れていて自分で走らせたり上級の操作をしたい方には不向きだと思います…終始ゆっくりゆっくり歩くだけなので^^;)

The shuttle bus ride was very smooth, and I was able to enjoy activities right after arriving. They also played Japanese videos if needed, and the guide was very unique and fun! While driving, you get covered in dust, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, but they provide cloths to protect your face and goggles, so you don't need to bring anything special. It was really great to participate, enjoying both the sea and the mountains while seeing movie filming locations!

送迎バスに乗るところから非常にスムーズで、ついてすぐにアクティビティを楽しめました。必要があれば日本語のビデオも流してくれるし、ガイドさんもとてもユニークで楽しかったです！走ってるときは砂埃を全身に浴びるので、汚れても良い服装で行くことをおすすめしますが、顔をガードする布とゴーグルは配布されるので、特に持参するものは不要でした。映画のロケ地も見ながら海も山も楽しめて本当に参加してよかったです！

The Japanese-speaking staff provided guidance, and I was able to board smoothly and arrive at the hotel. They also handled my luggage with care, which I was very satisfied with.

日本語のスタッフの案内もあり、スムーズに乗車してホテルまで着きました。荷物も丁寧に扱ってくれて満足です。

I was relieved to have a guide who spoke Japanese! The live acoustic performance on the ship was really moving—I want to hear it again. The sea was beautiful, but I was surprised that there were no sandy beaches, as I had imagined it would all be sand.

日本語話せるガイドさんもいて安心しました！船内の弾き語りライブもすごく感動しました〜また聞きたいです。海も綺麗でしたが砂浜とかあるの想像していたので全部海でびっくりました笑

After arriving at the meeting point, you will wait for more than 30 minutes in the blazing sun for the bus. If you can handle that, the price is relatively low, so I recommend it.

集合場所に着いてから、炎天下のバス待ちで30分以上は待ちます。そのつもりができるなら料金も安めなので、オススメです。

Since I was traveling alone, I was a bit anxious about taking a taxi, so I made a reservation here. They arrived right on time! The driver helped carry my large suitcase, which was really helpful. I was a bit worried about getting caught in traffic since I had a morning flight, but we arrived with plenty of time to spare! I would like to make a reservation again.

1人旅だったので、タクシーなどは不安でこちらで予約しました。
きちんと時間通り来てくれました！
運転手のかたが、大きなトランクも運んでくださり助かりました(^^)
午前中のフライトだったので、少し渋滞に巻き込まれ不安でしたが、到着時間は余裕でした！笑
また予約したいです。

This is the second time I go in this tour, since the first time was awesome!
This time the tour was delayed due to staffing issues: we didn’t have a captain and no one to take photos. The remaining of the tour was great once we got going, however the tour was cut short by 30 mins due to the initial delay, for 3 hours instead of 3.5 hours was described.

My husband and I surprised my parents with a lei greeting in the airport upon our arrival in Honolulu, Oahu. Our greeter was wonderful and the leis were beautiful! I especially loved the leis the guys are wearing, they were so unique. Perfect start to any Hawaiian vacation!

It was fun! The best! We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the scenery of Hawaii! The guide was also entertaining, and we had a great time while waiting on the boat. Thank you!

楽しい！最高！良い天気に恵まれ、ハワイの景色を満喫できた！ガイドさんも面白くて船で待っている間も楽しめた。ありがとうございます！

Thanks to the Japanese guide, I was able to enjoy a safe and fun time. I had the best half day with music in the background. I wished I could stay at the sandbar forever. The foreign guide was also fun and friendly, which was great. It would be nice to have fresh water showers on the boat. The restrooms at the dock were too dirty. There were also no paper towels or trash cans. I think suggesting to use the restroom there while filling out the consent form would help avoid crowding the restroom on the boat.

日本語ガイドさんがいてくださっていたおかげで安全に楽しく過ごせた。音楽をバックに最高の半日を過ごせた。ずっとサンドバーにいたいと思った。外国人のガイドさんも楽しくフレンドリーでよかった。船に真水のシャワーがあればありがたい。船着場のトイレがきたなすぎ。ペイパーもゴミ箱もなかなった。同意書を書いている間にそこのトイレを利用をすすめることで船にのったときのトイレが混まないと思う。

It was the best experience! We signed up for the 150 meters. Our family of five participated, splitting into two groups of two and three! Even our 9-year-old child enjoyed it without being scared 😊 The crew members were very kind! I highly recommend it!

最高の体験でした！150メートルを申し込みました。
家族５人で参加。２名と３名に分かれて体験できました！9歳の子どもも怖がることなく楽しんでました😊
Crewの方が優しかったです！
オススメですよ！

Crew was fantastic and so were the drinks. The vessel is very spacious and comfortable! Came aboard as part of my Bachelor party and it was an unforgettable and super fun time!

In the midst of rising prices, the all-you-can-drink service was a delightful offering! We were the only Japanese people there, and the number of guests was just right, so we could relax without feeling cramped. We chose a catamaran with a restroom just in case since we had children with us, but we didn't use it even once. The kids had a great time too!

物価高の中、飲み放題付きは嬉しいサービスでした！
日本人は私たちだけで、人数も程よいので圧迫感もなくのんびり過ごせます。
子供たちと乗ったので万が一のためにトイレ付きのカタマランにしましたが、一度も使用せずでした。
子供たちも楽しんでました！

My daughter and I take snorkel trips every year but the hilarious crew made this one of the best!!

Three of our granddaughters became mermaids for the afternoon. The lived picking their Mermaid tails. The shoot shoot was fantastic we have so many great shots. Jennie was a wonderful instructor of all things Mermaid. Our granddaughters were thrilled!

The show was very good, the food not so much especially for the price. A lot of walking. A long drive from Waikiki in traffic.

I was relieved to have the reception in Japanese before boarding. Although it was said that English would be used after boarding, there were some people who could speak broken Japanese, so it wasn't a problem at all. The explanations for snorkeling and the staff were very enjoyable, and I had a great time.

However, perhaps due to the wind, I felt very cold after getting out of the water and was shivering. I wished they could at least provide warm drinks for a fee.

I was able to change in the only changing room available, which was a relief, but it seemed like the foreign guests were planning to leave in their swimsuits and looked quite cold.

I expected a wide sandy beach, but when we got off the boat, it was a shallow sea, which was a bit different from what I had imagined. However, I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and it was fun to ride the boat.

受付、乗船前の日本語でしていただいて安心しました。乗船後は英語と言われていましたが、カタコトの日本語ができる方もいて特に問題ありませんでした。シュノーケルの説明や、カラーの方たちがとても楽しくて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、風が吹いていたせいか、海から上がって寒くて寒くて、ガタガタ震えていました。
せめてあったかい飲み物くらい有料で良いから置いて欲しかったです。
早めに上がり、ひとつしかない更衣室に入って着替えできたので、助かりましたが、外国の方は水着で帰るつもりなのか、寒そうにしていらっしゃいました。
砂浜が広がっているかと思いきや、船を降りたら浅瀬の海で、ちょっと想像していたのとは違いましたが、シュノーケルで魚もたくさんみれて、ボートに乗ったら楽しかったです。

The guys were great, there were a ton of sharks. Just wish they would have given a little bit of instruction as to the use of the snorkel. I spent a fair amount of time afraid I wasn’t using it properly and would inhale the water. Otherwise it was a super experience! I would definitely recommend Hawaii Shark Experience.

The Japanese staff provided assistance from the pre-boarding explanation and even accompanied us on the boat, so I had no issues at all. I signed up for the full set with the banana boat and bumper tube, and everything was well organized. After that, I was able to enjoy enough time for SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling.

Since there was only one changing room after the activities, returning to the boat a little earlier than everyone else allowed for a smooth change. There were many comments about the bus being cold, but the driver frequently checked the temperature inside, so those in swimsuits didn't seem cold at all.

I think I will participate again next time!

乗船前の説明から日本語スタッフが対応してくれるし、船にも同乗してくれるので、何も困ることがありませんでした。
バナナボートandバンパーチューブ付きのフルセットで申し込みましたが、段取りも良く、その後にSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングまで時間内で十分楽しむことが出来ました。
アクティビティ後は更衣室が1つしか無い為、みんなよりちょっとだけ早めに船に戻ることで、スムーズに着替えることができます。
バスが寒いとのコメントが多いですが、ドライバーさんが何度も車内の温度をヒアリングしてくれるので、水着のままの人も決して寒そうでは無かったです。
次回も参加すると思います！

Everytime we come to Oahu we book this trip. It never disappoints. The staff always friendly and entertaining while keeping you safe while navigating the boat! Delicious hamburgers bbq’s on the back of the boat. A perfect day every time!

I felt at ease with the Japanese tour. It was enjoyable to learn about Hawaii on the way to the bay.

I was disappointed that I couldn't see a turtle, but I saw many fish.

My 9-year-old child was also satisfied with the snorkeling.

日本語ツアーで安心できました。
湾に着くまでの道のりでも、ハワイについて教えてくれて楽しかったです。

カメに会えなかったのが残念でしたが、
たくさんの魚がみれました

9才の子どももシュノーケルに満足してました

You can enter the Missouri, the Aviation Museum, and the Submarine Museum smoothly. At the Aviation Museum and the Submarine Museum, you can borrow audio guides for free, so even those who are not confident in their English can feel at ease.

ミズーリ号、航空博物館、潜水艦博物館にスムーズに入場できます。航空博物館と潜水艦博物館では無料でオーディオガイドを借りることができますので英語が苦手な方でも安心です。

The weather was nice, and I was really glad to be able to enjoy parasailing. The waiting time before doing the three different types was a bit tough.

天気も良く　とても楽しくパラセーリングができてよかった。
3種類をやるまでの　待ち時間がちょっとあるのが　辛かった。

There are three types of activities available, so you can have plenty of fun. However, waiting on the boat in the blazing sun for about an hour until the parasailing time was tough.

アクティビティが３種類できるので　十分楽しめる。
ただ　パラセーリングの時間まで　1時間くらい　船の上　炎天下の中　待ちがあったのが　辛かった。

I attended with my elderly mother in a wheelchair. When I informed the theater staff about the wheelchair, they kindly escorted us to our seats, and after the show, they brought the wheelchair back to our seats. Their attentive service was very helpful.

高齢の母と車椅子で参加しました。　車椅子と当日劇場スタッフに伝えると　席まで連れて行ってくださり　ショーが終わると　また席まで車椅子を運んでくださいました。とても丁寧な対応で　助かりました。

It was a 90-minute show, and it was an overwhelming performance that both adults and children enjoyed. It was fun to buy popcorn in a cup before it started.

90分間のショーですが　圧倒されるパフォーマンスで　大人も子供も楽しるショーでした。
始まる前に　カップ入りのポップコーンを買ったりして楽しかったです。

At first, I was planning to use a buggy, but after referencing YouTube videos, I chose the e-bike tour. This tour, where you ride through nature and feel the wind while visiting various movie filming locations, is fantastic! The electric assist has a bit of a quirk, but you get used to it quickly, and it makes climbing hills easy and enjoyable. This time I took the beginner course, but next time I want to try the advanced course as well.

最初はバギーのつもりでしたが、YouTube動画などを参考にe-bikeツアーを選択しました。
大自然の中で色んな映画の撮影地を自転車で風を感じながら巡るこのツアーは最高！
電動アシストにはちょっと癖はありますが、すぐに慣れて坂道も楽々気持ち良く進んでくれます。
今回は初心者コースでしたが、次回行く時は上級者コースも行ってみたいです。

Bon Voyage Kobe. I was recommended by Mr. Tamura and signed up without hesitation. I was able to enjoy it safely. Thank you very much.

ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸　田村さんに勧められて疑いなく申し込みしました。無事に楽しめました。ありがとうございました。
