Hawaii
We took our 2.5 year old toddler on this tour and it was a wonderful experience. What’s great about this tour is that once you’re out at the sandbar you can paddle board, kayak, snorkel, and/or swim, hangout at the floating deck, etc. I’m glad we had these activities because there’s not that much to do at the sandbar otherwise! I had fun paddle boarding and kayaking with my toddler (wearing a life jacket, which they provide). We were done with the activities after a while and my toddler wanted to be back on the “big boat,” which was also fine because the boat is comfortable, provides shade, and has bathrooms and changing rooms. Just remember to bring some drinks and snacks to enjoy after all the exercise!
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
If you really want to have a fun day, then this tour is for you. And, family friendly! I've done it the last 2 years and am going to book again for next year. The crew: Captain Cheyenne, and crew members Julia, Yuki, Yukiko and Cody are the best. Very friendly, and GREAT personalities.
Walking on this sandbar is an experience. And they even set up a water volleyball game. The water is perfect and the bluest I've ever seen.
After the sandbar, they fire up the grill for a nice hamburger/cheeseburger lunch with all the fixins. And they have meatless burgers also.
After lunch there is snorkeling. Due to recent knee replacement surgery I was unable to participate last year, but was able to and had a great time this year.
After snorkeling, you go turtle watching. There were plenty, and some of them are HUGE.
My one big recommendation: Bring reef friendly sunscreen because the sun will fool you. It was a bit overcast this year,, but the sun still managed to get me.
I’m so glad we ended up choosing this package rather than trying to coordinate this trip on our own. Our tour guide, Chelsie, sent us great information ahead of time so that we knew exactly what to bring, what to expect during the trip, and where to meet. The open air bus was a fun part of the trip. She shared great information as we drove through Honolulu and to Pearl Harbor. When we arrived, she made sure we knew where to go and our timeline for the trip. Everything went smoothly and the whole family enjoyed the visit.
Dear Chelsie, Thank you for taking the time to recognize and acknowledge the great tour you had with Chelsie. So pleased you received all you had hoped for on your tour to Pearl Harbor.
This experience is a MUST if you are staying in Maui!
You will not get to do this anywhere else! And book with Yoshi, he made this experience wonderful from start to end.
We were picked up on time, and did stops to pick up sandwich on route.
Yoshi took us to the summit and then found a nice quiet place for us to see the most beautiful sunset and then the night sky full of stars! It was truly spectacular!
Yoshi was so informative and the views of the Milky Way and craters on the moon from the telescope were amazing!
It’s very cold up at the summit so pack hat, gloves and warm clothes if you are doing this experience.
Yoshi bought coats and gloves for us! And some yummy Krispy Kreme donuts
Thank you again Yoshi for this incredible experience that me and my husband will always remember! It made are trip Hawaii even more special.
We enjoyed a stunning and wonderful sunset at top of Haleakala followed by stargazing. Although the full moon made the night sky too bright and made stargazing a bit difficult, Yoshi still worked hard to review the full moon with his telescope and to show/explain to us the visible stars to ensure we had a memorable time with our family. We had a wonderful time together.
It was the first time taking my family to PCC and they enjoyed learning about the different islands and cultures. It was a fun and filled with hands on activities for any one of any age to participate in. The buffet had a lot of food to offer and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were initially seated in the back but we had two members in our family with mobility issues and they promptly reseated us closer to the food. The show Ha was great. I have never seen a woman Samoan fire dancer and she was phenomenal.
My family and I had never been to Kauai and I wanted to book this tour as it had some fun things to do. Rosario was a great tour driver, very funny and knowledgeable and safe driver. We went to Opaekaa Falls, then went on a river cruise on the wailua river to the fern grotto (while on the boat we learned how to hula and enjoyed listening to the smith family singing and dancing hula). Then we went to Waimea canyon aka the Grand Canyon of the pacific- pictures do not do it justice. Very breathtaking. Then we went to kauai coffee plantation where we sampled amazing coffee and finally went to see the spouting horn. Overall a great tour with Rosario
I participated with my 0-year-old child. Since there were many participants, we took two buses and two boats, dividing into a Japanese-speaking team and an English-speaking team for the boat ride. Everyone was very kind to the children, making it easy for us to join with kids! If the child wears a float, they can stand on the sandbar, and although snorkeling is in deeper water, as long as we ensure the waves don't hit the child's face, we were able to enjoy it without any issues! The staff attended to us in Japanese, making it easy to ask questions, and above all, the location was amazing. I'm really glad I participated!!!
0歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました
参加人数も多かったのでバスも船も2台で行きましたが、日本語チームと英語が話せるチームに分かれて船に乗りました
皆さん子どもを可愛がってくれて子連れでも気兼ねなく参加できました！子どもは浮き輪を付けていけばサンドバーは足が着くし、シュノーケリングは深い海ですが子どもの顔に波が当たらないようにすれば問題なく楽しむことができました！
日本語でアテンドしてくれるのでわからないことは聞きやすいですし何よりロケーション最高でほんとに参加して良かったです！！！

It started 30 minutes late due to the rain. But before we knew it, the boat arrived, and we quickly set off into the open sea! For those who get seasick, it's advisable to take some medication because the ride had a lot of floating sensations, haha.
About five groups boarded, and one by one, we were connected for parasailing and soared into the sky. Each group enjoyed about five minutes before being dropped into the sea and collected back onto the boat, haha. Both the time on the boat and during parasailing were so much fun, and it was an amazing experience!
雨が降ってて予定より30分遅れで始まりました。でもあっとゆうまに船の迎えが来てあっとゆうまに沖の方まで出発！
船酔いする人は薬飲んどいたほうがいいくらい浮遊感たっぷりの乗り心地でした笑笑
それから5組くらい乗り込み順番にパラセーリングに繋がれて空へと舞い上がっていき1組5分くらい楽しんだら海へジャボーンと落とされて船へと回収されます笑
船に乗ってる時もパラセーリング中もどっちも楽しくて最高に良い思いです！

We were quite anxious because we couldn't speak any English, but it was a bit reassuring to see other Japanese people there.
There were a total of five groups boarding, and even though we couldn't communicate well, the crew's vibe made it enjoyable for everyone. We took motion sickness medication, but it was quite bumpy, so if you're sensitive, please make sure you're in good condition!
The view from 150 meters was truly spectacular! The landing when coming down was also fun! I want to go again!
私たちはまったく英語ができないので不安でしたが、他にも日本人がいてちょっと安心
計5組で乗り込み、言葉は通じないながらもクルーのノリもあり皆で楽しめました酔い止めを飲んでいきましたが、かなり揺れるので弱い方は万全の体調で望んでください！
150mからの眺めは本当に絶景です！降りるときの着水も楽しかった～！また行きたいです！

My family and I had a great time with the E Noa Pearl Harbor Tour! We were all very impressed by the extensive guided tour. I would definitely recommend this experience
Dear Grace, We are so delighted and happy you and your loved ones had an amazing tour with us at Pearl Harbor.
The whole experience was awesome. from checkin and, with the guided tour on the ATV . Very exciting and smooth.
Our family of 4 loved the variety of this tour! We have 2 older teenage boys (17 and 19) and our family loves to travel! The hike was a great way to start the trip! It was so beautiful going up and WOW, the view at the top is spectacular! The next stop was a food truck that had malasadas….don’t miss this! Yumm, my boys LOVED them! The rest of the tour was fantastic and the guide offered so much history detail and information! All the stops were great and we especially loved the north shore!
Hello E Jones,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time on the trip. The malasadas taste so good after finishing the hike. We are glad all of you enjoyed the tour. We really appreciate your comments. Thank you again for joining our tour and hopefully you will be able to visit the Islands once again.

At Kualoa Ranch, there are many activities, and at my husband's request, we decided to go horseback riding. This was my husband's third time, while it was my first experience. Although I was nervous, I got to ride a horse and slowly lined up, swaying gently on the calm and smart horses. We enjoyed beautiful views of the mountains, movie filming locations, and the stunning contrast between the sky and the sea. Initially, I was very anxious, but in the end, I was extremely satisfied with choosing horseback riding and participating in this course. I still remember various scenes vividly. It's a place I would love to visit again if I have the chance! Thank you to the guides!
クアロアランチで沢山のアクティビティがある中、主人の希望で、乗馬をすることに。
主人は3度目、私は初体験、ドキドキしながらも馬に乗せてもらい、整列しながらゆっくりと、大人しく賢いお馬さんたちに揺られながら、山の中や映画のロケ地、空と海のコントラストが綺麗な景色など、堪能する事が出来ました。
最初はとても不安でしたが、結果、乗馬を選んで、
このコースに参加出来て大満足で、今でもいろんな光景が思い出されます。
機会があればまた訪れたい場所です♪
ガイドのお姉さんたち、有難うございました！

During our honeymoon last year, I was interested in this show, and I participated during this trip. The buffet was filling, and I almost missed the desserts, so I rushed in and enjoyed them. There was also a show during the meal, with hula shows, rock shows, and fire dances on the stage, which kept us entertained one after another! Thank you very much!
昨年のハネムーン時に、こちらのショーが気になり、今回の旅行時に参加させて頂きました。
ビュッフェはお腹いっぱいになり、デザートに気付かず、慌てて駆け込み、詰め込みで堪能しました
食事中にもショーがあり、館内のステージでも
フラショーや、ロッキンショー、ファイヤーダンスと、次々と楽しませてくれる構成で楽しかったです！ 有難うございました！
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflor VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience this time, especially after your interest last year. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ＆ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。昨年度お気にかけて頂き、今回は楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

The scenery at Hanauma Bay was different from what I saw over 30 years ago; it has been beautifully maintained, with strict management including entry restrictions and video presentations of the rules. Thanks to this, the underwater environment was very clear, and I was able to see many fish and even a rare eel that is seldom seen, even by guides.
Although it was a super low tide, which meant I couldn't meet a honu, and I struggled with my goggles and taking breaks, resulting in swallowing seawater multiple times, my guide held my hand the whole time, allowing me to fully enjoy snorkeling! Thank you very much for your great support!
30年以上前に訪れた時のハナウマ湾の光景とは違っていて、綺麗に整備され、入場制限やルールのビデオ上映など、管理も徹底されていました。お陰で？海中はとても綺麗で、たくさんの魚たちやガイドさんでも滅多に見られない？希少なウツボも見ることが出来ました。
スーパー引き潮だったので、ホヌに会えなかったこと、ゴーグルとの相性が悪く、息抜きも下手だったので、何度も海水を飲んじゃいましたが
ガイドさんにずっと手を引いてもらい、無事にシュノーケリングを満喫出来ました！大変お世話になり有難うございました！

A gem that we found via Google search; one of the best things we did on the island! Thoroughly enjoyed all parts; very inclusive. Awesome crew and wonderful music!
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
Originally, I was scared and not good at going into places where my feet couldn't reach, but I wanted to try it at least once in my life, so I participated. It was deeper and scarier than I had imagined, but thanks to the instructor who kindly spoke to me and held my hand all the way through, my dream came true. Also, it's better to borrow and wear a wetsuit. My companion was bare-chested, but their back turned red, and the shape of the life jacket straps was imprinted on it (laughs).
元々、足の届かない所に入るのは怖くて苦手でしたが、一生に１度はやってみたいと思い参加。
思っていた以上に深くて怖かったですが、インストラクターの方に優しく声をかけて頂き、最後まで手をつないでリードしてくれたお陰で、夢がかないました。
それとウエットスーツは借りて着用した方がいいですよ。連れは、上半身裸でしたが背中が赤くなり救命胴衣のヒモの形がついていました(笑)

Great experience if you are looking for budget friendly turtle snorkeling experience. The guys were very friendly, nice and cared for the group. The time was perfect. Long enough to swim with turtles and short enough for people who got sea sick. Highly recommend. Thank you for making this budget friendly experience available.
Mahalo for joining us!
We loved this excursion! The Boat & staff were excellent! Snorkeling was amazing (tons of fish, turtle & an eel) & the boat with the slides & high dive were so fun for my kids!! This was our favorite hawaiin excursion!
It was a full moon, but the guide explained everything in a fun way, so even though it was cold, it was a very enjoyable tour and became a wonderful memory for our family trip. Next time, I would like to join during the new moon.
満月でしたが、案内の方も楽しく説明していただいたので寒かったけど大変楽しいツアーで家族旅行の素晴らしい思い出になりました。今度は新月に参加したいと思います。

The captain has a charming personality, so even though we don't speak Japanese, we can manage through feelings! We exchanged videos with a Japanese person♪

I participated in the simplest plan (without optional activities or transportation).
On the day of the tour, I took thebus from Ala Moana Shopping Center, leaving a little after 7:00 AM. There wasn't much delay, and we arrived around 8:10 AM. The harbor seems to mainly serve local fishermen. There was a small shop selling alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, and fishing gear.
There is a changing room on the boat, but it can only accommodate one person at a time, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath.
Fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member on our tour! Additionally, among the foreign staff, there was someone who spoke Japanese fluently. There were also safety instructions written in Japanese, so those who are anxious about English can feel at ease.
Since I was 29 weeks pregnant, I enjoyed a little snorkeling with my husband and then just relaxed on the boat, but others were really enjoying activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball.
When participating, I recommend checking the low and high tide times to choose the best tour time! It was a lot of fun!
一番シンプルなプラン（オプションアクティビティなし、送迎なし）で参加しました。
当日はアラモアナショッピングセンターを7時過ぎに出発するthebusで向かい、バスの遅れもそこまでなく、8：10ごろには到着しました。
ハーバーは地元の釣り人などがメインで利用されているようです。アルコール、ソフドリ、軽食、釣具などを販売している小さな売店もありました。
船上に着替える部屋がありますが、1名ずつしか利用できないので、水着を下に着てくるのがベターだと思います。
私たちのツアーでは運良く日本人スタッフがおりました！また、外国人スタッフの中に日本語が達者な方もいました。日本語で書かれた注意文も用意されており、英語に不安がある方も安心です^ ^
妊娠29週で参加したため、旦那とシュノーケリングを少し楽しみ、あとは船上でゆっくりするだけにしましたが、他の方々はSUPやビーチバレーなど、すごくエンジョイしていました^ ^
参加の際は是非干潮・満潮時刻と睨めっこしてツアー時間帯を選ぶと良いと思います！
とても楽しかったです！

If you are choosing one pricey tour while in Kauai, this one is it! Professional company, skilled crew, nice boat. Breathtaking scenery.
Very nice and comfortable boat. Knowledgeable and friendly crew. Highly recommend this tour! My family thought this is better than a helicopter tour of Napali. It was cool going into the caves… didn’t our big boat would fit but the crew was highly skilled!
It was fun to drive on the open off-road surrounded by mountains, but sand gets into your mouth and ears, so it would be good to have a mask that covers your mouth and ears. There is a group self-introduction time before departure, and there are several stops along the way for explanations and quizzes. Since some level of communication in English is required, it can be a bit challenging for shy individuals.
山に囲まれたひらけたオフロードを走れるのは楽しかったですが、口の中や耳の中まで砂が入ってくるので、口元や耳を覆うマスクがあると良いです。
出発前のグループでの自己紹介タイムや、途中何度か下車して説明やクイズなどがあります。
そこそこ英語でのコミュニケーションを求められるため、人見知りにはハードル高いです。

The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.
高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念

We participated as a family of three, including my husband and daughter. The staff supported my husband, who is not a good swimmer, allowing us to enjoy scuba diving. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were also excellent. We would love to participate again next year.

I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling, and it was amazing! It was the most satisfying activity I did in Hawaii.

I checked the tide levels before going, but since I couldn't go on any other day, I was satisfied even without the sandy beach. The sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed canoeing and other activities.
潮位は調べて行きましたが、日程でこの日以外いけなかったので砂浜がなくても満足でした。
海は綺麗でカヌーをしたり楽しみました。
