Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Family-run business, run smoothly, good value; hosts and hostesses professional with keen sense of humor.

Reviewed by: Cary

My wife and I went on the Fern Grotto tour on our honeymoon in 1990. We didn't think they'd still be around, after Iniki ravaged Kauai and COVID shut down hundreds of businesses. The hotel where we stayed was gone so we feared there would be nothing left from our initial trip. But when we returned, there were the Smiths, still in business! We loved the informative cruise and especially the lovely traditional Hawaiian music - not the usual pandering with "Aloha Oe" and "Tiny Bubbles," but the real stuff. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this revisit to a highlight of our honeymoon.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

Safe but boring

Reviewed by: Paula Cradduck

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you

ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

The convenient location that allows direct access from the Waikiki Hotel. The crew was great at creating a lively atmosphere. It was a wonderful time! ワイキキホテルから直接行ける立地の良さ。盛り上げ上手のクルーの方。素敵なひと時でした！

Reviewed by: Yuri

We used this for making memories on our honeymoon. It was Saturday afternoon, but I was able to make a reservation just three days in advance without any issues. The location is directly connected to Waikiki Beach, which is great because you can wear your swimsuit and go straight back to the hotel.

Since there were only three groups sharing the ride, the waiting time felt short. As others mentioned, if you're worried about motion sickness, I think it's a good idea to take some medicine beforehand, but I was able to enjoy it without feeling sick. The flight time felt longer than I expected.

The photo fee was $40, so please be careful if you're considering purchasing.

I didn't understand English, but thanks to the enthusiastic staff, I was able to create the best memories!

新婚旅行の思い出作りで利用しました。
土曜のお昼でしたが、3日前でも無事予約が取れました。
立地がワイキキビーチに直結したところにあり、ホテルから直接水着を着てそのまま帰れる立地の良さも良いです。
乗り合わせが3組と少なかったからか、待ち時間も短く感じました。他の方が言っていたように乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いと思いましたが、私は酔うことなく終われました。
飛行時間も思っていたより長くあったように感じます。
写真代は値上げしたのか$40でしたので、購入を考えている際はお気をつけください。


英語はわからなかったのですが、盛り上げ上手のスタッフさんのおかげで最高の思い出ができました！

マノア滝ハイキングツアー　大自然がもたらすエネルギーを全身で感じよう！＜日本語ガイド／オーガニックランチ付き＞

It's just a shame about the rain. 雨だけ残念

Reviewed by: トマト

During my previous hike in Manoa, I was captivated by the enchanting atmosphere of the forest. Unfortunately, this time, we had to walk almost entirely in the rain. The photos all turned out gloomy due to the clouds, so the weather was disappointing. Before we started, it was helpful that they lent out rain gear and sticks to those who needed them. The guide's instructions were also enjoyable! For lunch, I had a pastrami sandwich, which was just the right amount and delicious.

以前マノアのハイキングに参加した際、森の幻想的な雰囲気に心奪われました。今回は残念ながら、ほぼずっと雨の中を歩くこととなりました。写真が全部どんより雲のため、天気だけが残念です。スタート前に、雨具とスティックを希望者には貸し出してくれて助かりました。ガイドの方の案内も楽しかったです！ランチは、パストラミサンドにしましたが、ちょうどいい量で美味しかったです。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン　サーフィンレッスン

This is my second time! I want to do it again! 今回2回目！またやりたい！

Reviewed by: Rii

Four years ago, I participated in this lesson for the first time. It was so impressive that during this family trip, I joined a group lesson (4 English speakers, 2 Japanese) with my younger brother.

After a general explanation, a local instructor who speaks Japanese took care of the two of us on the beach. It was like a completely private lesson! Both my brother (his first time surfing) and I (my second time) were able to ride the waves right away. In fact, I managed to ride all the waves except for one! My brother didn't fall even once! The instructor praised us a lot and also pointed out areas for improvement.

Another surfing instructor told me, "The person teaching you is really amazing."

The photos cost $50 for one participant and $75 for two. Since there's a breakwater nearby, I should have had my family come to take pictures. I didn't have the luxury of taking selfies... haha.

I was exhausted after the lesson, so I'm glad I signed up for it on the last day. I was able to sleep soundly on the plane. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in a lesson here again!

4年前、初めてこのレッスンに参加しました。
それが凄く印象的だったので、今回の家族旅行では、弟と一緒にグループレッスン(英語圏4人、日本人2人)に参加させて頂きました。

全体説明後、ビーチでは日本語も話せる現地の先生1人が我々2人を担当してくれました。完全にプライベートレッスン状態！！
私(サーフィン2回目)も弟(サーフィン1回目)も一発で波に乗れました。
というか、私は1回以外全部波に乗れました！弟は1回も落ちなかったです！
先生はいっぱい褒めてくれるし、改善点も教えてくれました。

他のサーフィンレッスンの先生から、"あなたに教えてくれてる人はとても凄い人なのよ"と声をかけられました。

写真は1人参加だと$50、2人だと$75、、でした。
近くに堤防もあるので、家族に写真を撮りに来て貰えば良かったです。
自撮りしてる余裕はないので…笑

レッスン後はクタクタだったので、最終日に申し込んで良かったです。機内で爆睡出来ました。
またハワイに行ったら、絶対ここでまたレッスンに参加したいです！

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 weather and tide must align for the plan to work out. Winter can be cold, so you might need to prepare accordingly. 天気、潮位、全てが整わないとプランのようにはならないです。冬は寒いのでそれなりの覚悟が必要かもしれません。

Reviewed by: ヨジダ

As expected, the sea in January is cold, and although it was sunny, there was hardly any direct sunlight, which made it tough. The children were shivering.

When we arrived at the sandbar, it should have been around low tide to high tide, but the water level had already risen, and it wasn't dry land, which was disappointing.

However, we did get to see sea turtles and manta rays. Also, snorkeling was quite tough, and taking care of the kids while doing it was pretty exhausting.

やはり1月の海は寒く、晴れてはいたが直射日光がほぼなかったのでつらかった。子供はくちびるを震わせたりしていた。
サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。

It was a tour in the morning, but because it had rained the day before and there was a little rain on the day itself, the sea was a bit cold and didn't have the beauty of a heavenly sea. However, as it got closer to noon, it started to clear up, and gradually beautiful scenery began to appear.

Also, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. The tour crew spoke Japanese and were very friendly and easy to talk to, which made it a lot of fun!

Next time I come, I want to see the best scenery!

朝からのツアーでしたが、前日に雨が降っていたことと、当日少し雨が降ったため、海は少し冷たく、天国の海というほどの美しさはありませんでした。
しかし、お昼近くになると晴れ始め、次第に綺麗な景色が見え始めました。

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＞

It was amazing!! 最高でした！！

Reviewed by: みっぴ

I had been to Angel's Sea once before, but this was my first time on a snorkeling tour. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays at Angel's Sea! And having a hamburger for lunch while on the water was the best. The guides explained everything in a way that was easy for Japanese people to understand, so I had no worries and enjoyed myself. Since it wasn't just a boat for Japanese people, I was able to interact with people from other countries, which was also fun (we exchanged snacks we brought with us, laughing together).

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed to see the fish up close! Since it was the ocean, I was a bit worried about being swept away by the current, but there were people nearby, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. It was a bit cold on the boat, so I think a larger and thicker bath towel would be better. Also, it's best to leave all jewelry at the hotel. I found that the area between my chin and neck surprisingly got sunburned, so it's better to apply sunscreen thoroughly. I went on the last day of my stay in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I did. I highly recommend this tour!

以前天使の海は一度行ったことがあったのですが、シュノーケル付きのツアーは初めてでした。天使の海では海亀とマンタが見れて大満足！そしてランチのハンバーガーも海の上で食べると最高ですね。日本人向けに説明をして頂けるので何も不安な点も無く楽しめました。日本人のみの船ということでは無いので他の国の方とも交流ができてそれもまた楽しかったです。(お互い持ってきたスナックを交換こしたり笑)
シュノーケルは初挑戦でしたが、魚が近くで見れて感動しました！！海なので多少潮に流されそうになりますが近くに人がいるので安心して楽しめました。船の上は寒かったりもするのでバスタオルは大きめで厚めの方がいいと思います。あとはジュエリーは全てホテルに置いてくべし。日焼け止めはあごと首の間が意外と焼けたので、念入りに塗った方がいいです。ハワイ滞在の最後の日に行きましたが本当に行って良かったです。おすすめのツアーです。

I participated with my 65-year-old mother! 65歳の母と参加しました！

Reviewed by: あやや

I participated with my 65-year-old mother!
We were in a team of eight, which included two groups of six people from Korea and the two of us.

At first, we watched a video in English on how to drive, but they also showed us a separate video with Japanese subtitles.

The guide spoke entirely in English, so we couldn't understand everything, but they explained the necessary safety information with gestures, and we had plenty of practice time, which made us feel secure before setting off.

I initially thought it might be a bit difficult for my mother due to her age, but there were some older participants in the other groups (not Japanese), and above all, we were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan, which made my mother the happiest.

The guide took a lot of photos for us, and the Korean group we participated with were very kind, creating truly wonderful memories.

65歳の母と参加しました！
一緒のチームになったのは韓国人グループ2組6人と、私たち母娘2人の計8人でした。


最初、運転方法を英語のビデオで見るのですが、私たちは別で日本語字幕付きのビデオを見せてくれました。


ガイドの方は全て英語で話すので、全てを理解することはできませんでしたが、安全に必要なことは身振り手振りで説明してくれましたし、練習時間もたっぷりとってくれたので安心して出発することができました。


最初は母の年齢には少し難しいかな？と思いましたが、他のグループにはもう少し年配の方（日本人ではなく）も参加していましたし、何より日本ではなかなか経験できないことができて、母が1番楽しんでいました＾＾


ガイドさんにたくさん写真も撮っていただき、一緒に参加した韓国人グループの方々にも優しくしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

Great night excurssion

Reviewed by: jhutch1368

Night snorkel with manta rays was recommended to me by a coworker who lived on Kona. We booked this for our vacation based on her recommendation. We brought our ‘kids’ ages 30, 16, 13. I think it would be hard for younger kids. In fact, one child I’d say about 6 sat on a float the entire time. Swimming in ocean at night even with a wetsuit (a MUST), a noodle, and holding on to a raft is trying even for an adult. That being said, it was so cool! We were fortunate to see many manta rays! I wish I could’ve taken pictures. It was plenty long enough time. Any longer would’ve been too much. We had perfect weather and the light of the full moon. The crew was awesome and fun. You could tell they loved their job and were friends. Shout out to the girl on our crew named Ryan, who took extra care and patience helping my 30 year old daughter swim back to boat.

Yamapi-san paid attention to even the smallest details. When we stopped by the supermarket to buy dinner, he provided detailed advice and assistance. He mentioned that he comes to Haleakalā five times a week, so I felt he was a veteran guide who knows this area very well. His photography skills are also professional level.
