セーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号 絶景を見ながらリラックス!ドリンク購入可能<90分/シェラトン・ワイキキ発>

It's easy to participate, yet the satisfaction level is high. 気軽に参加出来るのに満足度が高いです。

Reviewed by: tko

During my stay, I had been wanting to ride a catamaran, so I made a reservation for 11 AM two days later. The booking process was smooth. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we went further out than I expected. It was really fun to see Diamond Head from an angle I had never seen before, and it felt like I was walking on the beautiful blue ocean. Even the waves we encountered while on board felt refreshing. Most of the participants were from overseas, but everyone was in a relaxed mood, enjoying themselves in their own way. The duration of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long—and I was more than satisfied! I definitely want to go again next time.

滞在中、ずっと乗りたいと思っていたカタマランを思いつき翌々日の11時を予約しました。予約はスムーズに取れました。当日は天気も良く、思った以上に沖へ出ます。ダイヤモンドヘッドを見た事が無い角度から眺め青い海の上を散歩しているような感じでとても楽しかったです。乗船中被る波すらも気持ちいい。海外の方の参加が殆どでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ好きなようにリラックスして楽しむ雰囲気です。時間も短すぎず、長過ぎず丁度よく想像以上に大満足!次回も乗りたいと思います。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly! ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリー!

Reviewed by: Marfy

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

If it weren't for the hurricane... ハリケーンさえなければ・・・

Reviewed by: ひろ玉くん

Unfortunately, due to the strong winds from the hurricane, the path to the summit was closed on the day of the visit. However, there was a possibility that if negotiations were successful at the Onizuka Center, the path might be opened, so I went to the Onizuka Center. But the result was... it was indeed not possible.

That said, it was good that I was able to get to Onizuka! The tour fee was refunded later for the portion that I couldn't complete to the summit (not the full amount, but $200 out of $400). Well, we can't win against the forces of nature! This will be a lesson for next time!

運悪くハリケーンの影響で風が強く、当日は頂上への道が閉鎖されたとのこと。
ただ、万が一オニヅカセンターで交渉次第では?道が開けてもらえる可能性もあるということでオニヅカセンターまで行ってきました。
でも、結果は・・・やはりダメでした涙
とはいえ、オニヅカまででもいけたのは良かった!
ツアー代金は、頂上まで行けなかった分、後から返金されましたので(全額ではなく4/5の200ドル)まぁこればっっかり自然の力には勝てないということで仕方ありませんね!

Na Hoku Catamaran Sunset Sail from Waikiki Beach - Fun Party Cruise with Open Bar

Beautiful scenery and amazing crew!

Reviewed by: Bon E.

I recently had the pleasure of joining the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the breathtaking views of Diamond Head and Waikiki to the stunning Hawaiian sunset, every moment on this cruise was filled with awe and wonder.

The highlight of the cruise was undoubtedly the views. As we set sail, the magnificent Diamond Head loomed in the distance, creating a picturesque backdrop for the entire journey. The vibrant hues of the setting sun cast a magical glow over the Waikiki shoreline, creating a truly mesmerizing spectacle. It was a sight that I will forever cherish and one that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Honolulu.

The crew on board the boat were nothing short of amazing. They were not only knowledgeable about the area but also extremely friendly and accommodating. They made every effort to ensure that everyone on board had a memorable experience. Whether it was answering questions about the local landmarks or simply engaging in light-hearted banter, the crew went above and beyond to create a warm and enjoyable atmosphere.

Of course, no booze cruise would be complete without the drinks, and the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise did not disappoint. From tropical cocktails to beers, there was something for everyone. The bartenders were skilled and quick, ensuring that no one had an empty glass for long. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind while taking in the stunning views.

In conclusion, my experience with the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise was nothing short of phenomenal. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were breathtaking, the Hawaiian sunset was simply beautiful, and the crew was awesome. The endless supply of drinks added an extra touch of enjoyment to an already incredible journey. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience in Honolulu.

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Beautiful setting, but the boat ride and crew left something to be desired.

Reviewed by: Anonymous

Loved Molokini, but the boat experience was just okay. The crew seemed short/curt and not very welcoming. There was one crew member that was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and inviting. It also felt like a heavy sales pitch once you boarded. Everything, from additional gear (wet suit), scuba, photos, all costs extra and it's not cheap. Food was just okay. Also, know that when you snorkel, they limit you to how far from the boat you can go. All that said, the water and natural beauty was incredible. I recommend it for that reason alone.

Thank you for choosing the Four Winds. Safety is always our top priority, so we do let our guests know what the safe parameters are, as far as the distance you can swim away from the boat. This is only to protect our guests and to make sure everyone is safe.

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり> *48時間前までキャンセル無料

The manta was very close. マンタ近かったです

Reviewed by: ラベンダー

I was worried about whether I would be able to see manta rays based on the reviews, but I did! They came surprisingly close, almost within reach of my hands and feet, so I had to be careful not to touch them at all. Since ocean accidents are scary, I chose a tour that provides explanations in Japanese. Fortunately, there wasn't much price difference for the manta tour, so I went with this one.

I had read in reviews that the boat ride from the port to the manta point was long, and that some people experienced seasickness or found the rocking of the boat difficult. However, since I have never had severe seasickness in the past, I thought that for those who enjoy being out in the sea breeze and taking in the ocean views (especially during sunset, which I think is a precious experience), a longer boat ride could actually be a lucky thing.

The Japanese tour guide was wonderfully attentive and a lovely person, and I really liked them as a person. The cocoa we had on the boat was also delicious.

What I wish I had brought were two bath towels—one for drying off and one to cover my legs—because while the water was a comfortable temperature in a wetsuit during the hot July weather, it was cold once we got back on the boat. I also recommend bringing a warm jacket or something to wrap around your neck and shoulders, as well as warmer clothes and underwear to change into after swimming, along with socks. It would be best to have a thermos to keep hot tea or something to drink on the way back.

Manta rays are adorable, and I recommend this tour for anyone who loves soothing sea creatures like dolphins. I would like to join this tour again next time.

口コミからマンタ見れるのか不安でしたが見れました。
しかも予想外に手や足で触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれるので、こちらが一切触れないように体を気をつけないといけません。
海の事故はこわいので、日本語で説明してくださるツアーを選びました。幸いにマンタツアーで価格差はあまりなかったので、こちらにしました。
口コミでは港からマンタのいるポイントまでの乗船時間が長い、船酔いしたり揺れるのが辛い、というのも事前に見ていましたが、過去に酷い船酔いをしたことがなく、海風に当たりながら海の景色(ちょうどサンセットが観れる時間だと貴重な体験だと思います。あとイルカが私達の時は船と一緒に泳いでくれました。)を観るのが好きな人にはストレス発散効果もあり、船に乗る時間が長い方がラッキーではないか、と思いました。
添乗員の日本人の方は、気配りも素晴らしく素敵な人で、私は人として好きな方でしたし、船上でいただいたココアも美味しかったです。
持っていけばよかったと思うのは、7月の暑い時期ですが、海の中はウェットスーツを着てちょうどいい温度ですが、船に上がると寒かったので、バスタオルは拭く用と足に掛ける用の2枚、首や肩には暖かい上着や首に巻けるもの、ホテルに帰るまでに水着から着替える用の普段の服より温かい服装と下着、靴下です。
帰りにホットのお茶などを飲めるように保温水筒に入れておくとベストです。
マンタは可愛らしくて、イルカなどの海の癒し系の生き物が好きな方におすすめです。
次回参加する場合もこちらのツアーにしたいです。

If you can confirm the meeting time, English is fine too. 集合時間を確認できれば英語だけでもオーケー

Reviewed by: ウブド

After five years of waiting due to the opposition to the observatory expansion and COVID-19, I was finally able to participate in the sunset tour. The company advertised having Japanese-speaking guides, but due to the impact of COVID-19, it seems they laid off most of the Japanese guides because there were many domestic (U.S.) users. During my visit, the guide was an American with experience working at a U.S. military base, and aside from casual conversations near the Onizuka Center and confirming the meeting time, everything was in English. The explanations along the way, including stories about Hawaii's only Army training base, were all in English, but even with my limited English knowledge from middle school to university, I understood about half of it. Of course, the meeting time and important notes were explained in Japanese, but I felt the English explanations were sufficient.

For the stargazing, two vehicles were used in the parking lot between the summit and the center, with only two Japanese participants. We were divided into two groups for English and Japanese explanations, and one person who spoke Japanese provided dedicated explanations. The photos taken during that time, as well as the best photos that the guide had likely taken previously, were received directly through the Aiphone communication feature. Previously, we would receive them later via the website, but with Aiphone, we could do it on the spot by pairing our phones. It seems that those using phones with OS like Samsung might not know how to do this, so I wonder what they do? After returning to the meeting place and dispersing, I was given a ride to a nearby hotel. I was spared a 20-minute walk at night, but this was only because everyone else returned to their cars from the meeting place or were from nearby hotels, so it was just a coincidence that I got a ride. I heard that if Japanese tourists return, Japanese tours might resume.

The tour itself was fantastic, just like everyone else's experience, but I have two final points. The emergency toilet near the summit is very dirty, so it's better not to use it. Let's use the facilities at the Onizuka Center instead, as we will stop there after stargazing, which should take about three hours. Lastly, remember to give a tip when you get off the vehicle. A few years ago, during my first visit (at the time of the "B-class Gourmet Tour"), I completely forgot to tip because it was an all-Japanese tour, and that experience still gives me a bit of trauma. This time, I prepared three levels of tips in my pouch according to my satisfaction and handed them out at the end. If the explanations had been given in both English and Japanese twice, I would have given 20%, but this time I gave about 15%.

 天文台増設反対の封鎖とコロナ等で5年越しでサンセットツアーに参加できました。同社は日本語ガイドがあるのが売りでしたが、コロナの影響で景気のいい国内(米国)利用者が多くなったので、日系人のガイドをほとんどレイオフ?したみたいです。今回利用時は、在日米軍基地勤務経験がある米国人ガイドさんでしたが、オニヅカセンターや展望台付近の雑談や集合時間の確認以外はすべて英語でした。途中の説明は、ハワイ唯一の陸軍訓練基地の話など英語オンリーでの説明でしたが、特に英語は中学から大学までの勉強でしかしたことない私でも、半分くらいは分かりました。もちろん、集合時間、注意事項等は日本語で説明してくれましたが、先の英語の説明で十分わかりました。また、天体観測は、2台の車が、山頂からセンターの間の駐車場で行いましたが、日本人は2人だけで、英語と日本語の説明の二つのグループに分かれましたが、日本語が話せる1人が専属で説明してくれました。その時撮った写真や、以前ガイドさんが撮ったと思われるベストな写真は、Aiphoneの通信機能でそのまま受け取りました。以前は後日ホームページでの受け取りでしたが、Aiphoneだとその場で携帯付き合わせてできます。サムスン等のOSを使った携帯はやり方がわからないみたいなのでどうするんでしょう?集合場所に戻り解散してから近くのホテルまで送ってもらいました。夜道を20分ほど歩かなくて済みましたが、あくまで、他の方が全員集合場所から各自が車で帰ったり、直近のホテルの方だったので、たまたま、送ってもらうことが出来ました。日本人がまた戻ってきたら日本語ツアーが再開されるかもとのことです。ツアーの素晴らしさは申し分なく他の方と同じですが、最後に2点。山頂付近の緊急用トイレは非常に汚いので使用しない方が良いです。オニヅカセンターで済ませましょう。天体観測後にも寄るので、しょうみ3時間くらいでしょうか。最後にチップは降車時に渡しますので忘れないようにしましょう。私は、数年前、最初の利用の時(当時の「B級グルメツアー」)、完全に日本人だけのツアーでその快適さから錯覚してチップ忘れたことがあり、今も少しトラウマになっています。今回も満足度に合わせて3段階のチップをポーチに用意して、最後に渡しました。途中の説明が英語と日本語で2回してくれたなら20%渡したと思いますが、今回は約15%程度としました。

クアロア・ランチ 四輪バギー体験(2時間または3時間) 映画ロケ地と絶景の中を駆け抜ける爽快アクティビティ!1台最大6名まで乗車可能<送迎付きプランあり>

Driving was enjoyable and well-managed, but the giant fallen tree from Jurassic Park and Godzilla's footprints were too overwhelming to stop for! I didn't expect to pass by the giant fallen tree without being able to take a photo, which was disappointing! しっかり運転出来て楽しいけれど、写真に写っているジュラシックパークの巨大倒木やゴジラの足跡は止まりません!巨大倒木は横を素通りするとは思わず、写真も撮れなかったのが残念‼︎ 巨大倒木のところで休憩があるのはバイクとジュラシックパークツアーのみです。

I was saddened by the lack of English explanations due to my limited English skills. Japanese tourists are gradually returning to pre-COVID levels, and I hope they can implement Japanese guided tours at least once a day or at least every other day. The guide was friendly and took photos for us, and it felt great to drive through the beautiful land of Kualoa for two hours. I thought it would be even more enjoyable if I understood the movie explanations. We only passed by the giant fallen tree from Jurassic Park, while other tourists were taking photos, but we just walked by. When I asked the guide at the next stop why we didn't stop there, he said that this tour does not stop at that location. If that's the case, it's misleading to have that photo included in the tour description.

Also, when booking the shuttle tour, it's important to try various start times to find one that suits you, or you will waste a lot of time at Kualoa. We had a 10:30 AM start for the buggy tour, and our pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15 AM. We arrived at Kualoa around 9:15 AM, listened to the Japanese guide, watched a Japanese video, and then hurried to buy souvenirs before the tour started. The lockers were broken (it seems to always be that way), so we had to protect our souvenirs with eco-bags as much as possible and placed them at our feet in the buggy, but the eco-bags ended up covered in dust.

After finishing the buggy tour at 12:30 PM, I bought photos from the vendor and went to the restroom, only to find it was already time for the return bus. I had brought a change of clothes, but there was no time to change, and I returned to the hotel covered in dust. By the way, most men were wearing shorts. Sunglasses were available for rent, and they gave us a neck holder (to wear around the neck and cover the nose).

全て英語の説明で英語力のなさが悲しかったです。
日本人観光客もコロナ前に戻りつつあり、1日に一回、せめて2日に一回、日本語ガイドツアーを実施して欲しいです。
ガイドさんはフレンドリーで写真も撮って下さるし、クアロアの大地を2時間走るのは気持ち良く、映画の説明がわかったらもっと楽しいだろうと思いました。
ジュラシックパークの巨大倒木は近くを通るだけで、観光客が写真を撮っていたのに私達は素通り。
次の停止ポイントで、ガイドさんになぜさっき止まらなかったか聞いたら、このツアーはあそこには止まらない、とのこと。だったら、このツアーにあの写真が載ってるのは間違いです。
あと、送迎ツアーを申し込む時は、開始時間を色々入力してみて自分に合った時間にしないとクアロアでタイムロスが多くなります。私たちは10時30分スタートのバギーでワイキキピックアップは8時15分でした。クアロアに9時15分頃着いて、日本語ガイドさんから話を聞いて、日本語ビデオを見て、その後、開始までの時間に急いでお土産を購入。ロッカーが故障してたので、(どうもいつもそんな感じみたい)お土産を出来る限り持参のエコバッグなどで守って、バギーの足元に置いて出発しましたが、エコバッグはホコリまみれになりました。
12時30分にバギー終了後は、業者さんの写真を買ってトイレに行ったらもう帰りのバスの時間でした。
着替えを持って行ってましたが、着替える時間はなく埃まみれのまま、ホテルに帰りました。
ちなみに男性は半パンの方ばかりです。
サングラスは貸し出しあり、ネックホルダー(首にはめて、鼻まで覆う)プレゼント。
