Hawaii
When heading to the airport on a late-night flight, I was a bit scared to take a taxi, so I used this service. They arrived right on time!
深夜便で空港に向かう際、タクシーだと少し怖かったのでこちらを利用しました。きちんと時間通りに来てくださりました!
As soon as the bus arrived, we were the first to enter, so we had our pick of beach chairs. I wished that on days when the park closes late, the return bus would also be later. Since it departs at 3 PM, we had to cut down on our lunch time, which felt too short for my kids who love the pool.
バス到着後すぐ、そのまま一番ノリで入場だったので、ビーチチェアも選び放題でした。
閉園時間が遅い日は帰りのバスも遅ければいいのになと思いました。15時発なのでお昼食べる時間を削り、プール大好きな子供にとってはあっという間でした。
The ground is very hot, so you always need flip-flops or water shoes. You are instructed to either carry your slider while sliding or to slide just the sandals first.
地面が熱々なので常にビーサンかマリンシューズが必要です。スライダーでは抱えて滑ったり、サンダルだけ先に滑らせたりと指示されます。
At 63 years old, I tried a Segway for the first time! They really took the time to teach me how to use it properly. After learning how to use it, we practiced thoroughly at the facility before heading out for a short tour. At Ala Moana Park, they provided plenty of explanations about the plants, history, and even added some humor. On the way back, I was given recommendations for many reasonably priced and delicious restaurants. It was truly a fun attraction!
63歳にして、初セグウェイ!!
最初に使い方を本当に丁寧に教えてくれます。
一通り使い方を教わった後、施設でしっかり練習してからの、ショートツーリングって感じです。アラモアナパークでは、植物やら歴史やらユーモアーたっぷりに説明してくれます。
また、帰りにはリーズナブルで美味しいレストランを、沢山ら教わりました。
本当に楽しいアトラクションでした。
The Japanese support is also excellent, and the owner and staff are truly friendly.
日本語対応も素晴らしく、本当にフレンドリーなオーナー・スタッフさんです。
It was difficult for me to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay on my own due to scheduling issues, so I took advantage of this plan that allowed me to have a reservation and enjoy my time at Hanauma Bay freely. I was anxious about my English speaking skills, but there was a guidance sheet in Japanese, and the driver was able to understand our limited English, which made communication enjoyable. The entrance fee was collected by the driver, and a participant from an English-speaking country paid for everyone.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I borrowed a life jacket. In the early morning, it was a bit chilly, so the life jacket helped keep me warm and was also useful for snorkeling. Even in shallow areas, I could see fish swimming, including the humuhumunukunukuapua'a! I would like to request this again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.
自力でハナウマ湾の入場予約を取るには日程の都合で難しく、予約を取っていただける+自由にハナウマ湾で遊べるこちらのプランを利用させていただきました。
英語のスピーキングに自信がなく不安でしたが、日本語での案内シートがありドライバーの方も私達の拙い英語の意味を汲み取ってくださり楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。入場料金はドライバーさんが集め参加者の中にいた英語圏の方がまとめて支払ってくださいました。
初のシュノーケリングだったのでライフジャケットも借りました。早朝だと少し肌寒いくらいなのでライフジャケットが防寒になり、シュノーケリングの助けにもなり役立ちました。浅いところでもお魚が泳いでいてフムフムヌクヌクアプアアも見られました!
また機会があればお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
As I mentioned in the text, the life jacket was very helpful for warmth and safety in the early morning. This is the opinion of a beginner, not an advanced snorkeler.
本文にも書きましたがライフジャケットが早朝の防寒、安全のためとても役立ちました。シュノーケリング上級者ではなく初心者の感想です。
This was my second experience. It had been six years since my last visit, and I was impressed by how well-trained the horses are, just like before. They let you ride alone right away, and you get to experience long rides for extended periods, which is a riding style that you wouldn't find in Japan—it's truly moving!
During my first visit, they took many more photos, so I thought it would have been nice if they could have changed the order a bit so that I could have had my picture taken while riding as well. Since my family was at the front, I was disappointed that no one could take my picture.
2度目の体験です。今回は6年ぶりでしたが、相変わらずよくトレーニングされている馬さんたちで感心していました。
いきなり一人で乗せてくれるし、しかも長時間長距離を体験させてくれるし、日本では考えられない乗馬スタイルで、感動します!
1回目に行ったときは、もっといろいろな写真を撮ってくださったので
できたら、進順番を変えてくれると、私も乗っている姿を写真に撮ってもらえたのかなーと思いました。家族で先頭で乗っていたので、誰にも撮ってもらえず残念でした。
I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, along with long pants and athletic shoes.
汚れてもいい恰好と長ズボンと運動靴がおすすめです。
The website mentioned that participation might be declined if you cannot understand English, but that was not the case at all. The receptionist was Japanese, and the person who provided the explanation was a foreigner, but they kindly and politely explained everything in Japanese. They sold videos taken from the camera attached to the jet, but I also wanted images and videos showing me from the outside while riding.
英語を理解できなければ、参加をお断りするかもしれませんと、HPに説明がありましたが、全くそんなことはありませんでした。
受付の方は日本人でしたし、説明してくださった方は外国の方でしたが
日本語で丁寧に親切に説明してくださいました。
ジェットに取り付けたカメラの動画を販売してくれましたが
外から引きで乗っている姿を撮った画像や動画も欲しかったです。
There is only a small restroom available for changing. If possible, I think it would be better to have something that can be changed quickly.
着替えする場所が小さめなトイレしかありません。
できればさくっと着替えられるものがいいかと思います
This experience went beyond our expectations! It was perfect length in time, didn’t feel rushed at all! The trainer was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had an amazing time!
I was expecting a jungle tour, but it was just a simple jeep exploration of the jungle. I had hoped for a course that included locations from Jurassic World, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I reluctantly booked this tour, which turned out to be quite boring.
期待していましたジャングルツアーではなく、単純なジッープでのジャングルの探検でした。
ジュラシックワールドのロケ地が入ったコースを希望していましたが、予約がとれずに、やむなく、このツアーに予約しましたが、たいくつなツアーでした。
I participated because it was said that you could join without a license, but it was just a slow line of cars and not interesting at all. If that's the case, I'd much rather go to Yanbaru in Okinawa, which is a hundred times more fun.
免許がなくても乗れるということで参加しましたがちんたら列をなして走るだけでなんの面白みもなかった。これなら沖縄のやんばるんちゃの方が100倍楽しい
It might be good for those who are scared of rides and prefer to go slowly.
乗り物が怖くてゆっくり走るにはいいかも?
There were only two other Japanese people besides us, and they seemed to be from the mainland United States. The immigration inspection took some time, but I think they were waiting for our departure. Thank you very much.
日本人は私どもの他は二人だけ、ほとんど米国内地の方のようでした。入国審査に時間がかかりましたが、出発を待っていてくれたのだと思います。有難うございました。
I may not have confirmed everything in advance, but it was quite physically demanding. It's been years since I last went to the ocean. How many times have I gone snorkeling in my life? Given the situation, it's my own fault, but it was tough for someone in their 50s who isn't confident in their physical strength.
It seems that about half of the people were able to see the dolphins. With so many people, if you jump in later, the chances of seeing them decrease. If you're a good swimmer, you might be fine. My child and I weren't able to see them. My husband managed to see them, but he said it wasn't really swimming with the dolphins.
There weren't any impressive fish while snorkeling either. We didn't get to see any sea turtles. It's nature, so it can't be helped.
I've written mostly negative things, but the staff were really wonderful and their dedication was evident. That was a saving grace. Thank you very much.
事前の確認不足かもしれませんが、
体力的にかなりきつかったです。
海に行くのも何年ぶりかしら?
シュノーケリングなんて人生で何回目?
なんて状況でしたので自業自得ですが…
体力に自信の無い50代には厳しかったです🤣
イルカは半分くらいの人は見れたみたいです。
人数が多過ぎて後の方に飛び込むと
見れる可能性は低くなると思います。
泳ぎが得意な人なら大丈夫かもしれません。
私と子どもは見れませんでした😭
主人はかろうじて見れたそうですが、
イルカと泳ぐ、ではないと言ってました。
シュノーケリングも感動する程の魚はいませんでした。
海ガメにも会えませんでした。
自然相手なので仕方ないですね。
悪い事ばかり書いてしまいましたが、
スタッフさんは本当に良い方達で
一生懸命なのが伝わりました。
それが救いでした。
ありがとうございました。
Motion sickness medication and a bath towel are essential.
酔い止めとバスタオルは必須です。
Aloha! Richie. Thank you for participating with your family at Dolphin University. The captain and crew will do their best considering the sea conditions and the state of the dolphins on the day of the tour, but I apologize for any disappointment regarding the dolphin swim and snorkeling. Thank you for your comments about motion sickness prevention and cold weather measures.
We hope you will re-enroll when you visit Hawaii again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! りっちーさま。イルカ大学にご家族で参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー当日の海の状況やイルカの状態を踏まえてキャプテンやクルーたちは最善を尽くしますが、イルカスイムとシュノーケリングに関して残念な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ございませんでした。酔い止めと寒さ対策に関するコメントもありがとうございます。
ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には再入学していただけたらと存じます。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
We love the experience they provide. Music is great. Staff is all good people and the activities are all fun. Definitely recommend doing it.
Aloha, Veronica
Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review!🌺🌊
We are thrilled to hear that you loved the experience, especially the music, our wonderful staff, and all the fun activities!
Your recommendation means the world to us.
It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another great day out soon!

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.
とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が 違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで 30分程出発が遅れ ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり そこが残念でした。
Please do not mistakenly get on the wrong tour vehicle.
ツアーの車 間違えて乗らないでくださいね。
Thank you for participating in the North Shore Tour with Island Makana Tours. The horseback riding along the coast is a very popular tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのノースショアツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。海沿いを歩く乗馬はとても人気のあるツアーです。お楽しみ頂けたようで嬉しく思います。またハワイにお越しの際はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用下さいませ。
Una valle splendida circondata da due lati da montagne a picco. Abbiamo fatto il circuito movie e sembrava di vivere all'interno di un film . Prima fra tutti i film jurassici.
Nessun problema con i biglietti, tutto ben organizzato e facilmente fruibile.
We were told by a couple at our hotel to make sure we do this tour and it was 💯 worth it! What a unique experience led by one of the native Hawaiian to see this hidden valley! Perfect for our 6 year old and adults too! It’s truly like a garden of Eden.
We had the best excursion with Ko Olina Sunset Cruise. The crew was awesome! They were so friendly to all 15 of us ranging in ages 7-72! The food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a better choice while vacationing in Hawaii!
I participated about three years ago, and it was so great that I decided to join again this time. The staff were truly kind and friendly. There were also Japanese staff members who provided attentive support, so I think even those who are not used to it can participate with confidence.
This time, my family of three joined, and during snorkeling, the staff warmly watched over my slow-swimming daughter and even pointed out where the sea turtles were. Thanks to being able to see the sea turtles up close, my daughter, who is not very good at swimming, seems to have developed an interest in snorkeling.
If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to participate next time as well.
3年ほど前にも参加したのですが、とても良かったので今回も利用させていだだきました。
スタッフの方は本当に親切でフレンドリー。日本人スタッフの方もいて、きめ細かい対応をしてくれるので、慣れない方でも安心して参加できると思います。
今回も家族3人で参加しましたが、シュノーケリングの時、泳ぎの遅い娘を温かく見守っていただいたうえ、ウミガメの居場所も教えていただきました。間近でウミガメを見ることができたおかげで、あまり泳ぎの得意ではない娘も、シュノーケリングに興味を持ってくれたようです。
また行く機会後あれば、次回も参加したいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour for the second time. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアー二度目のご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
天国の海でまたお会いできる日をウミガメともにお待ちしております。A hui hou!
Wonderful boat & crew- with full bar & fruit. The location was pristine. The snorkelling was great- they have all the equipment. Very safe for kids. Fantastic afternoon.
From start to finish, this excursion was worth every penny! Phenomenal staff and awesome adventures!
Family friendly and safety conscious.
Aloha, Frequent visitor
Thank you for your amazing 5-star review!
We're so happy you enjoyed every part of the excursion and felt it was worth every penny! Nothing makes us happier than hearing you loved the adventures,
We really appreciate you recommending us and can't wait to see you again for another fun adventure soon!

We flew together as a family of three. From above, the deep blue ocean was visible. I was surprisingly amazed at how blue the sea is! Seeing Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu from the ocean was refreshing and truly exhilarating. Our whole family was very satisfied! On our way out on the boat, we even encountered a sea turtle and were overwhelmed by Hawaii's natural beauty.
親子3人で一緒に飛びました。
上空から見えるのは、紺碧の海。海ってこんなに青いんだ!と年甲斐もなく驚きました。海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルのまちも新鮮で、まさに爽快。家族一同、大満足でした!
ボートで沖に向かう途中、ウミガメにも会え、ハワイの自然に圧倒されました。
The staff was friendly, and it was no problem at all even if you struggle with English. Everyone was flying with digital cameras and action cameras. You can get photos taken for $40, but since these a
スタッフが親切で、英語が苦手でも全く問題ありませんでした。皆さん、デジカメやアクションカメラを持って飛んでいました。$40で写真を撮ってもらえますが、自分では撮れない写真なので、私としては満足でした。
The staff were all cheerful and fun! Both the SUP and canoeing were enjoyable! The snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many fish.
スタッフさんが皆明るくて面白い!supもカヌーも楽しかったです!
シュノーケルは少し寒かったけど、お魚がたくさん見られて良かったです。
Aloha,
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed activities such as SUP and canoeing. We are also pleased that you enjoyed communicating with our crew, and I have promptly reported this to them.
We look forward to welcoming you back again.

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.
セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった!
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい
I was worried it might be hot, but it was surprisingly cool, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a lot of fun.
If you have a driver's license, I recommend driving!
暑いのではないかと心配したが、思いの外涼しく、景色も絶景でとても楽しかった。
免許をお持ちの方は運転するのがおすすめ!
I participate in the same tour almost every year! I've also gone horseback riding on Oahu, but the Big Island is definitely more enjoyable! Since it's up in the mountains, the weather is often bad, but this year it was clear and perfect. You rarely get to experience such refreshing 90 minutes. No matter how many times I participate, I always want to ride again next year. I highly recommend it to everyone!♡
同じツアーに毎年のように参加しています♪
オアフ島でも乗馬をしたことがありますが、ハワイ島の方が断然気持ちがいい!
山の上なのでお天気が悪いことが多かったですが、今年は快晴で最高でした。
こんなに清々しい90分は、なかなか味わえません。
何度参加しても、また来年も乗りたいなぁと思います。
みなさんも是非♡
I was surprised to see that they arrived by large bus, but they confirmed the airline in Japanese and we boarded. At the airport, they guide you and drop you off according to each airline, so there were no particular issues, which was great.
まさか大型バスで来るとは思わなかったのでびっくりしましたが、日本語で航空会社の確認をしてくれて乗りました。
空港では航空会社毎に案内して降ろしてくれますので、特に問題もなく、良かったです。
I thought it was only in English, but I'm glad they can speak the necessary Japanese.
英語のみと思っていたのですが、必要な日本語は話してくれますので良かったです。
They arrived on time to pick me up, and I was able to move to the airport comfortably. There wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the car. It was convenient since the tip was included.
時間通り迎えに来てくれて快適に空港へ移動できました。車内は特筆するところは特にありません。チップ込みなので楽でした。
They arrived on time to pick me up, and it was comfortable.
時間通りに迎えに来てくれて快適でした。
It was a transfer from the airport to the hotel, and although they take you in the order of check-in, you have to wait quite a bit. It's best to come out quickly and check in without lingering inside. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the vehicle, but it's convenient since the tip is included.
空港からホテルの便でしたが、受付順で乗せてくれるがかなり待たされるので中でぐずぐずしないでサクッと出て来て受付するのが良いです。
車内は特筆することはありませんが、チップ込みなので楽です。
Check-in early!
受付早めに!
I had to retire midway, but there were no regrets afterward. It was lonely. The staff were kind, there were various attractions, and the scenery was beautiful.
途中でリタイヤしたけれど あとのホローはなし 寂しいな
スタッフの方々は 親切で いろんなアトラクションが有り 景色もよかったよ
We participated with five people: our family of four and my grandfather. After completing the check-in, we had a slight delay in departure because the previous group returned late.
We had a reservation for 4:30 PM. Since we were the only family there, the wait time was minimal, and we finished without any time to feel seasick.
For parasailing, we split into groups of two and three, and everything went smoothly. We also requested photos for $40, and they took various shots for us.
My daughter, grandfather, and I went together, and 150 meters was higher than we expected, offering a breathtaking view. My 78-year-old grandfather was very moved, saying it would be a great memory.
After disembarking, the staff kindly transferred the photo data to my smartphone. I highly recommend this experience if you visit Hawaii.
家族4人とおじいちゃんと、計5人で参加しました。受付を済ませて、始まりは前のグループが戻ってくるのが遅かったので、少し送れての出発でした。
16時半からの予約。私たちの家族しかいなかったので、待ち時間が少なく、船酔いする暇もなく終わりました。
パラセーリングは二人と三人で分かれて、段取り良く進みました。40ドルで写真もお願いしていたので、いろんなショットを撮って頂きました。
娘とおじいちゃんと三人でしましたが、150mは思った以上に高く、絶景の眺めでした。78歳のおじいちゃんは、冥土の土産になるわーと、とても感動していました。
下船して受付の方が写真のデータをわざわざ私のスマホに入れてくれました。
ハワイに来たら是非お薦めです。
I heard that a Black pilot has also been to Japan and visited some niche tourist spots there. I sincerely apologize if this is perceived as racial discrimination, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Black person speaking Japanese honorifics so smoothly. The piloting was also careful, and I felt safe during the flight. If you are visiting Kauai, I highly recommend this tour.
黒人のパイロットさんで日本に来たこともあるそうで、日本でも玄人好みの観光地にいらっしゃったらそうです。
人種差別と捉えられたら誠に申し訳ないのですが、黒人の方が日本の丁寧語をスムーズに話していらっしゃることに良い意味で驚きました。
操縦も丁寧で安心して乗っていることができました。
カウアイ島にいらっしゃる際は、このツアーはおおすすめです。
