All Reviews for Specialty & Services

I had communicated the places I wanted to visit when making the tour reservation, but one location was forgotten, and I couldn't go there. I realized this towards the end, so I take some responsibility for that... It felt like there wasn't a proper schedule set in advance, and it seemed like the places were decided during the car ride on the day of the tour.

Since the reservation form allows you to write down the places you want to visit, I wished they had paid more attention to that and kept it in mind. However, it was great to be able to visit the main tourist spots on Oahu in just one day. Lanikai Beach, in particular, was amazing.

ツアー予約時に行きたい所を伝えていたのですが、１箇所忘れらていて行けませんでした。終盤で気づいた私も悪かったのですが...。事前にスケジュールを立てている感じはなく、当日車での移動中に行く場所を決めているようでした。
行きたい所は予約フォームに書き込めるようになっているのだから、そこはちゃんと見て一応頭には入れておいて欲しかったです。
ただ一日でオアフ島の主要観光地を回れるのはとても良かったです。特にラニカイビーチは最高でした。

Me and my daughter were celebrating our birthdays together and the luau made us feel so special! Aloha to Sheraton Maui and Maui Nui

We chartered for 8 hours for our family of four, and I was impressed by the perfect scheduling after sharing our desired destinations in advance! (The burgers and fries at Five Guys, where we stopped for lunch, were delicious!) Ken was fluent in Japanese, very cheerful and fun, and had a wealth of local knowledge and topics, so we felt comfortable leaving everything in his hands. The car was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and he chose safe and clean restrooms at just the right times, making the long drive feel quick. I definitely want to request this again next time.

家族4人で8時間チャーターをお願いしましたがこちらの行きたいところをあらかじめお伝えしたところ、完璧なスケジューリングで感動しました！
(ランチで立ち寄った5GUYSのハンバーガーとポテト美味しかったです！)
KENさんは日本語堪能、とても明るく楽しい方でローカルな知識や話題も豊富でしたので、安心してお任せすることができました。
車も広く綺麗でゆったりしていましたし、トイレ休憩もタイミング良く安全で綺麗なトイレがあるところを選んで下さり、長時間のドライブもあっという間でした。
また次回も是非、お願いしたいと思います。

We prefer planning our trips ourselves rather than going with groups or package tours, and this private charter was perfect for us as a couple who value privacy! Our stay in Hawaii was very short, and we had to be creative with our time on Oahu. Ken made our wish to tour from the easternmost point to the North Shore a reality.

Of course, since the travel time was longer, our stay at each location was limited, but thanks to Ken, we were able to fully enjoy power spots, beaches, and gourmet experiences, creating many wonderful memories! The comfortable car ensured our privacy, and Ken's gentlemanly driving, along with his very interesting and engaging stories, made us both fall in love with him. We definitely want to see him again!

Next time, we would like to focus on fewer points and incorporate Ken's recommended spots into a carefully selected course. We will definitely return to Hawaii, so we look forward to seeing you then!

旅行では団体やパックツアーなどではなく、自身でプランニングするのが好きで、プライバシーを大切にしたい私たち夫婦にピッタリのとても贅沢な貸切チャーターでした！
今回のハワイでの滞在時間は非常に短く、オアフ島の滞在も工夫が必要でした。
今回は最東端〜ノースショアまでぐるっと回るわがままプランをKenさんが見事叶えてくださいました。
もちろん、移動時間が長くなるため１箇所あたりの滞在時間は制限されてしまいますが、そんな中でもKenさんのおかげでパワースポット、ビーチ、グルメなど目一杯楽しめたくさんの思い出が得られました！
プライバシーが確保された快適な車とジェントルマンな運転、車内でのとても面白く興味深いお話で、２人ともすっかりKenさんが大好きで是非またお目にかかりたいとおもっています！
次回はもっとポイントを絞って、Kenさんのオススメポイントも盛り込んだ厳選コースを考えたいです☆
また必ずハワイに帰ってくるのでその際は是非よろしくお願いいたします！

The food and entertainment was great! It was a great way to renew our wedding vows and the Captains were fantastic. Such beautiful views and the atmosphere and all the employees were fantastic.

We had a great time! The Mai tai was perfect and the music was everything it needed to be. Will rebook, soon!

I made a reservation based on reviews, but honestly, I feel like I made a mistake. The driver was most enthusiastic about sharing personal stories, while the information that Japanese tourists typically seek was mentioned only briefly and felt obligatory (it seemed like a line he says every time). There wasn't much local information shared, and when I asked questions, I felt like I was being brushed off. I'm sorry, but the conversation was not enjoyable at all. Due to a lack of consideration, several places I wanted to visit and things I wanted to do were not fulfilled. While it may have functioned as just a transportation service, I believe that one of the appeals of a private charter is to have local people guide you, and that aspect was not met. There were almost no arrangements made for taking photos after getting out of the car.

Additionally, although it was an 8-hour plan, it seemed like we wrapped up quite early, possibly due to a discount campaign. I was disappointed because we could have made a few more stops with the remaining time, but it felt like the driver wanted to go home early.

To sum up, I will definitely not be repeating this experience. It may depend on who the driver is and their mood that day, but for the price paid, I would definitely recommend choosing another option for this level of service. Overall, it was disappointing.

口コミなどを踏まえて予約しましたが、終わった感想としては、正直間違ったな〜と思っています。
ドライバーさんは自分の身の上話が1番テンション高く、日本人の観光客が求めているような情報は義務的にチラッと話す程度（毎回言ってるセリフなんだろうな〜という感じ）。現地情報もあまり出てこず、何か質問してもはぐらかされ。ごめんなさい、お話が全然楽しくなかったです。行きたかった場所ややりたかった事も、配慮のなさによりいくつか叶わず。ただの送迎としては機能していたかもしれないですが、こういう貸切チャーターって現地の人にガイドしでもらえるのも醍醐味の一つかと思うのですが、そこは満たされませんでした。車から降りて写真を撮ってくれるといった計らいもほぼ皆無です。
また、8時間プランでしたが割引キャンペーン適用になっていたせいか、結構早めに切り上げられました。余っていた時間でもう少し寄り道できたのに、と残念ですが、ドライバーさんは早めに帰りたかった感じを受けました。

長くなりましたが、リピートは絶対に無いです。ドライバーさんが誰なのか、またその日の気分にもよるのかもしれませんが、この値段払ってこのサービスなら絶対他を選んだ方が良いです。総じて残念でした。

Thanks to the comfortable ride and Ken's relaxed atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable drive. It was a lot of fun to be taken to the North Shore, Leonard's food truck, and Dole, all within driving distance from Waikiki. There was no motion sickness, and it was a comfortable drive while taking breaks for sightseeing.

車の快適な乗り心地とケンさんのゆるやかな雰囲気のおかげでリラックスしたドライブができました。ワイキキから車で行く距離にあるノースショアやレナーズのキッチンカー、ドールに連れて行ってもらえてとても楽しかったです。車酔いもなく観光がてら休憩もとりながら快適なドライブでした。

During the holiday season, Christmas songs played inside the illumination bus, and the entire group of passengers got excited. The venue was sparkling, and it became a very good memory.

ホリデーシーズン限定で、イルミネーションバスの中もクリスマスソングが流れ、乗客全体で盛り上がりました。会場もキラキラで、とても良い思い出になりました。

Someone arrived late, and I had to wait for nearly 30 minutes. The sunlight was too strong during that time, making it hard to concentrate. I wish it had started at 8 o'clock.

遅刻してきた人がいて30分近く待たされた。
時間帯的に日差しがあまりにも強く、集中できない。8時開催にしてほしい

The trolley is decorated for Christmas and Christmas songs are playing, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere than usual. City Lights has displays throughout its spacious grounds, including outside, but I found myself with too much free time. I thought it might have been better to go see it on our own rather than participating in the tour.

トロリーがクリスマス仕様にデコレーションされクリスマスソングが流れているので、いつもと違う雰囲気を味わえます。
シティライツは、外も含めれば広い敷地内にディスプレイがあるものの、時間を持て余してしまいました。ツアーで参加せずとも、自分たちで見に行くのでもよかったかなと思いました。

The view of New Year's Eve from the ocean in Waikiki was truly beautiful and memorable. The captain was also a very nice person, and I was able to enjoy myself while relaxing, whether lying down or sitting.

ワイキキの海から見る大晦日の景色は、ほんと！
すごくきれいで思い出に残る景色でした。
船長さんもとても良い人で、寝転んだり、座って楽しんだり、リラックスしながら楽しめました。

The trolley decorations and music were all Christmas-themed, and I was excited even before arriving at the venue! The venue's illumination was also impressive, and it was so much fun. I was able to experience a different side of Hawaii!

トロリーの装飾も音楽もクリスマスで、会場につく前からテンション上がりました！
会場のイルミネーションも本格的でとっても楽しかったです。
いつもとは違うハワイを経験できました！

Participants: 4 (parents in their 70s and a middle-aged couple)

The car was spacious and comfortable. Even at 180 cm tall, I was able to sit comfortably.

I requested the following places in advance: a beach where we could see sea turtles, "This Tree, What Tree?", Nico’s Pier 38, Whole Foods, the King Kamehameha statue, and Tantalus. I also asked for more frequent bathroom breaks.

On the day of the tour, Ken arrived before the meeting time. Ken is of Japanese-American descent and speaks calm, polite Japanese. Although we were all meeting for the first time and would spend 8 hours together, his personality made it easy to feel at ease.

In addition to the pre-requested stops, we were able to visit towns and recommended spots along the way during bathroom breaks. (After the beach where we might see sea turtles, we had some free time to explore the town of Haleiwa. Fortunately, we were able to see swimming sea turtles!)

Inside the car, we heard useful information from a local perspective about Hawaii, including recommendations for restaurants.

At the destinations, Ken provided information related to the places we visited (like good restaurants and bathroom locations) and allowed us free time to explore. I appreciated the consideration that allowed us to enjoy our time without feeling rushed.

My parents in their 70s were very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory for my husband and me as well. We would love to do this again if the opportunity arises. A hui hou!

Thew crew was so sweet to my kiddos, and the food was really good!

I participated in the vow renewal at the 5-star hotel. I can hardly speak English, but thanks to the staff's kind support, I had a very enjoyable and happy time!

バウリニューアルで5スターに参加しました。英語はほとんど喋れませんが、スタッフの優しい対応でとても楽しく、ハッピーな時間を過ごす事が出来ました♪

I used it as a means of transportation for the night illumination. There are illuminations near the venue, and I passed through there on my way to the venue. If you sit on the left side, you can see it well.

夜のイルミネーションで交通手段として利用しました。会場近辺にイルミネーションがあり、そこを通りながら会場へ。
左側に乗るとよく見えます。

The teacher was very friendly, and the lesson was fun. There were some challenging poses that I hadn't done in a while, and I was sore the next day. There were also regular participants, including dogs and babies, creating a cheerful atmosphere. The location was easy to find and close to the hotel.

とても、気さくな先生で、レッスンも楽しかったです。久しぶりにハードなポーズもあり、翌日は筋肉痛でした。
いつもレッスンされてる、一般の方もワンちゃんやベイビーもいて
和気あいあいの雰囲気。ホテルからも近い場所でわかりやすかった。

The pickup at the hotel and boarding went smoothly. Our table was by the window, but since we moved to the deck to actually look outside, I don't think it was necessary to be too particular about it.

People from various countries, including the mainland United States, gathered, creating a lively atmosphere, and the staff kept the energy up right until the countdown.

I found myself dancing at the YMCA, which was a bit out of character for me.

I was surprised at how delicious the steak and lobster were, even better than I had expected.

The fireworks were quite close, featuring star mines and large shells, reminiscent of the Japanese style.

On the way back, it gets crowded, so it's best to move to your bus early.

It was a fun New Year's Eve, and I think I got my money's worth.

ホテルでのピックアップ、乗船まではスムーズ。テーブルは窓際でしたが、実際に外を見るときはデッキに移動するのであまりこだわる必要はないと思います。
アメリカ本土を含めて様々な国からたくさんの人が集まってきており、賑やかで、カウントダウン直前までスタッフが盛り上げてくれます。
YMCAとか、年甲斐もなく踊ってしまいました。
予想していたより料理のメインにでたステーキとロブスターが美味しくて驚きました。
花火も結構近いところで上がります。スターマインや尺玉もある日本式ですね。
帰りは混雑するので自分の乗るバスまで早めのご移動を。
楽しい年越しになりました。料金分は十分楽しんだと思います。

With illegal fireworks killing and injuring people all over Oahu, it was great to be out on the water aboard the Star of Honolulu for its New Year's Eve cruise. The surf and turf dinner was excellent, as was the live entertainment. Beverage service was quite slow; the large number of diners ordering beverages simultaneously clearly overloaded the staff. Prospective participants need to be prepared for the fact that in order to see the midnight fireworks better, hundreds of attendees move to one side of the boat causing it to tilt quite a bit. But that was the only detectable motion; even people with motion sickness could take this cruise. I had a good time and would do it again. The event was a good value, too.

It was a four-course meal, private, on the top floor, and included champagne, which I was very satisfied with. This is my third time, and being able to celebrate the countdown with many people on the boat and watching the fireworks from the ship is the best.

4コース、プライベート、最上階、シャンパン付きでしたが、大変満足出来ました。
3回目ですが、カウントダウンを船上で沢山の人と盛り上がることができる事と、花火を船から見れるのが最高です。

The crew was great, the drinks were great and the firework show was great. Nothing else to say.

There were a lot of cockroaches near our seats, making it impossible to enjoy our meal. Please be especially careful near the walls. I hope this can be improved.

席の近くにゴキブリが沢山いて食事どころではなかったです。壁の近くは特に気をつけて下さい。改善して欲しいです。

The full course with lobster and steak, along with champagne and cocktails, was great. The fireworks (including those set off by individuals nearby) were more impressive than I expected, and it became a wonderful memory.

ロブスターにステーキのフルコース、シャンパンにカクテルもついて良かったです。
花火は、(周囲の個人で上げる花火もあり)思ったより迫力があり、良い思い出になりました。

The staff and the boat were amazing. We had the best time! They catered to our every need and were informative and seasoned. I felt safe every step of the way. You should try this, you won’t regret it.

We were supposed to meet at 5 PM, but I was surprised that we had to turn back for three Americans who were late. Is this our responsibility? The three of them didn't apologize and were overly cheerful; could this be a difference in national character? It finally got dark around 6:15 PM, and the illumination was beautiful, but what do you think about the timing set from 5 PM to 7 PM? I think it would have been better if it started from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, so we could enjoy it after it got dark.

17時集合でしたが、遅れたアメリカ人三人のため引き返し、びっくりしました。
自己責任でしょうか？
三人は謝りもせず、やたらテンション高くて国民性の違いでしょうか？
6時15分くらいにようやく暗くなりイルミネーション綺麗でしたが、17時から19時の設定はどうでしょうか？
せめて17：30から19：30が暗くなってから楽しめたと思います。

I was glad that the staff member was Japanese, which made me feel relaxed. We were able to chat as well. However, I wasn't satisfied because I had to pay an 18% tip on-site, which I didn't expect.

スタッフさんが日本人の方でしたので、リラックスできて良かったです。雑談もできて。ただ、チップが払っていないとのことで、現地で18％払いました。ちょっと納得出来てません。

We had a great time. The MC was awesome, very fun. All the dancer were really good. Very entertaining for the entire family!

The last time I visited, it was a bit late in the evening and there were many people, making it quite crowded both inside and outside the city hall, which made taking photos a bit challenging.

This time, considering I had small children with me, I thought the crowds would be difficult, so I chose to go on a weekday before sunset. The venue was less crowded, and it was much easier to take photos.

After enjoying the inside of the city hall, we went outside as it was getting dark, allowing us to enjoy the outdoor illuminations without the crowds, and we were able to leave early, which was convenient.

Next time I go, I plan to visit on a similar schedule. It seems to have created good memories for the children as well, which was great.

以前に訪れた際は少し夜遅めの時間帯で人も多く、市庁舎の中も外もかなり込み合っていて、写真を撮るのもちょっと大変でした。

今回は小さい子供がいたため人混みは大変だと考え、平日の日没前の時間を選択して参加したところ、会場が空いていて写真も撮りやすかったです。

先に市庁舎の中で楽しんだ後、暗くなるころに外に出れば込み合うことなく屋外のイルミネーションも満喫でき、帰る時間も早めでラクでした。

また行く際は、同じようなスケジュールで訪れようと思います。子供にとってもいい思い出になったようで、良かったです。

City Lights was incredibly enjoyable. This time, since it was the 40th anniversary, there were many beautiful illuminations, making it quite festive. However, the voucher pickup location was listed as "Waikiki Shopping Plaza - Royal Hawaiian Avenue entrance," but in reality, it was across the road from that entrance. I almost got left behind. They were also 15 minutes late, which meant I couldn't enjoy the pre-event. Other than that, I was satisfied.

シティライツは最高に楽しめました。今回は40周年というかとで，イルミネーション飾りも沢山あり、華やかでした。ただ、バウチャーのピックアップ場所は「 ワイキキ ショッピング プラザ - ロイヤルハワイアン通り側出入口」となっていたが、実際は「 ワイキキ ショッピング プラザ - ロイヤルハワイアン通り側出入口の道路向い側」であり、危うく置いていかれるとこでした。時間も15分も遅れてくるし。お陰で事前のイベントも楽しめず。それ以外は満足でした。
