Oahu
It was not crowded because it was the rainy season, and there was no waiting at all. However, it didn't rain during the day, so I was able to enjoy it thoroughly!
雨期だったため空いていて、全く並びませんでした。でも、日中は雨が降っていなかったので、十分に楽しむことが出来ました!
We drove buggies while touring the highlights of Kualoa Ranch. Since all participants were adults, the guide shared a lot of interesting historical background.
バギーを運転しながらクアロアランチの名所を巡りました。
参加者が全員成人であったためガイドさんが歴史的な背景の話をよくしてくださりました。
This was me & my partners second time doing this adventure, first time was back in 2021. We had great instructors both times but this time we got taken on a slightly longer path that was even more beautiful & scenic than the last. We had a couple friends with us this time that we recommended the tour too & they absolutely loved it as a highlight of their trip! Ticket price had slightly increased since the last time we came but definitely worth it!
Heavenly sea. I went with high expectations. The beauty of the sea is truly wonderful. You can definitely encounter turtles. While snorkeling, I experienced a fantastic view with many beautiful fish swimming around the coral. However, the wind is strong on the sea, and during the rainy season, it rains quite a bit, making it very cold. Since you're on the sea, you can't warm up. I wouldn't recommend going on rainy days during the rainy season. If it's a sunny day, I think you can have a wonderful experience.
天国の海。期待大でいきました。
海の綺麗さはホントに素晴らしい。
亀にもしっかり遭遇出来ます。シュノーケリングは、珊瑚の周りに沢山の綺麗な魚が泳いでいて、素晴らしい眺めを体験できました。
ただ、海の上は風が強く、雨季は結構長く雨が降るので、寒くて寒くて。海の上なんで暖もとれず。雨季の雨の日はお勧め出来ないですね。
晴れあがった日であれば、素晴らしい体験が出来ると思います。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you experienced during the tour due to the cold weather. We are truly grateful to hear that you were still able to appreciate the beauty of Paradise of the Sea despite the circumstances. We will certainly take your valuable feedback into account for future tours. We would be delighted if you could join us again on another tour when the opportunity arises. All of our staff are looking forward to that day.
この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。ツアー中寒い思いをされたのことで大変申し訳ございませんでした。
そのような状況でも天国の海の素晴らしさは体験できたとおっしゃって頂きましたことは心より感謝しております。頂きました貴重なご意見を今後のツアーにぜひ活かさせていきたいと思います。また機会がございましたらぜひツアーにお越しいただけると嬉しいです。その日をスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
It was my first time horseback riding, but the explanation was only about three minutes long in a video. I was quickly put on a horse and we started. It was raining that day, and the horse seemed to have difficulty walking. An instructor was present, but since it was in English, I obviously couldn't understand what they were saying. They were giving various instructions quite loudly. I rode for about two hours straight, and my back and butt hurt, while the instructor was shouting next to me, and I got soaked from the rain. It was truly an exhausting first experience.
初めての乗馬でしたが、説明は動画の3分くらい。すぐ馬に乗せられてスタート。
当日は雨もあり、馬も歩きにくそうでした。
インストラクターが付くのですが、英語なんで、
当然何言ってるか分からず?
結構大声で、いろいろ指示してくる。
約2時間乗りっぱなしで、腰、お尻は痛いし、横でインストラクターは、喚いてるし、雨でビショビショになるし、ホント疲れだけが残った初体験でした。
Everything was GREAT! Everything was right on schedule. Great host, such a smooth ride. Our captain gave great tips and the bartender kept the drinks coming. It's a great ride to get a whole view of wakiki Beach
The guide who came to pick us up was the worst. The explanations on-site were insufficient, and when I was getting the tickets, my smartphone hanging around my neck was yanked, and I almost fell. The guidance for the return trip was also inadequate, leaving me worried about whether I could get back to the hotel.
迎えにきたガイドさんが最低でした。
現地での説明が不十分でチケットをもらう時も首にかけていたスマホを引っ張られて転びそうでした。
帰りの案内も不十分でホテルに帰れるか不安でした。
I participated in early November. Since I made a last-minute reservation, I didn't check the reviews or precautions much and joined without sunglasses, but you should definitely bring them! The sun was strong for about an hour from the meeting time, and I got really sunburned, so sunscreen is a must. I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick, but the boat was quite rocky at times. We got splashed with water in the areas with big waves, but it was exciting and fun. The drinks were unlimited with a cup exchange, and at the end, we even received mini raffles. In our group, there was only one other Japanese couple, and there were more people from Europe and the United States than from Asia. Everyone was friendly, and we were able to take photos together. The strong wind made my hair a mess. It felt a bit pricey due to the weak yen, but the sunset was beautiful, and I'm glad I participated!
11月上旬に参加しました。直前にドタバタ予約したため口コミや注意事項をあまり確認せずグラサンなしで参加しましたが、絶対持っていってください笑
集合時間〜1時間ぐらいは日差しが強く、日焼けが凄かったので、日焼け止めも必須です。酔い止めは飲んでいたので船酔いはありませんでしたが、途中は揺れが大きかったです。波が大きいところでは水に濡れたりもしましたが、盛り上がって楽しかったです。ドリンクもコップ交換で飲み放題で、最後にミニのラッフルズなどもいただきました。私たちが乗った回は日本の方が他に1組しかおらず、アジア圏よりも欧米の方が多かったです。みなさんフレンドリーで写真を取り合ったりできました。強風で髪の毛はボッサボサになります。円安すぎてお高めに感じましたが、サンセットもキレイで参加して良かったです!
It was a very enjoyable show. The composition was good, and it had a Hawaiian feel, which made me satisfied. Since it's an indoor theater, the acoustics and visibility are great, and the seats are spacious, which I think is nice.
とても楽しいショーでした。構成もよくハワイらしさもあり満足です。
屋内のシアターなので音響、見通しもよく席もゆったりしているので良いと思います。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show with your spouse. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the overall entertainment and experienced the essence of Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご夫婦でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エンターテインメント全体的に楽しめて頂けたご様子で、ハワイらしさを味わっていない頂き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。
I participated in this activity on my honeymoon! Although it was low tide in the afternoon session, I was able to see turtles! Coming back from Hawaii, this was the activity that made me feel like I experienced something Hawaiian! However, I think it's better to be prepared for swimming for about an hour to enjoy it more!
ハネムーンで参加しました!
午後からの部で引き潮ではありましたが、亀を見つけることができました!
ハワイから帰ってきて、ハワイぽいことをしたと思えるのはこのアクティビティでした!
ただ、1時間ほど続けて泳ぐことになるのはあらかじめ覚悟しておいた方が楽しめると思います!
At the reception, it was almost 100% in English, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that Japanese was hardly understood, but somehow we managed. With our phones, gestures, and broken English, we made it to the buggy ride. With goggles and bandanas, we were ready to go!
The buggy experience, while enjoying the filming spots and the grandeur of Hawaii, was incredibly fun. Unfortunately, the guide's stories at each photo spot seemed very interesting (the foreign guests were laughing and interacting a lot), but they spoke so quickly that our phones were of no help. If we had understood, it would have been 200% more enjoyable. Still, it was nice that the guide made an effort to communicate with us through gestures. Next time, I hope to at least understand some American jokes!
受付からバギーの説明までほぼ英語100パーセントと言っても過言でない程日本語は通じませんでしたが、何とかなるものですね。携帯とジェスチャーとカタコトの英語で何とかバギーに乗るまではたどり着きました。ゴーグルとバンダナでいざ出発!
映画の撮影スポットやハワイの雄大さを満喫しながらのバキー体験は面白さ満点でした。悲しいかな、それぞれの写真スポットでのガイドの方のお話が、とても面白そうなのですが(外国の方はとても笑ってやり取りしていたので)、如何せん早口で携帯などは役にたたず、それが分かったら200パーセント面白かったでしょう。それでも私たち家族を気遣って、ジェスチャーで話しかけてくれるのは嬉しかったです。次回はせめてアメリカンジョークが分かるくらいになって行きたいものです。
The day was a little wet from the morning rain, but it did not prevent us from having a fun day ATVing at North Shore Stables. Just prepare yourself to get dirty!!
We caravaned on the farm our guides took us along the coast but mostly through the farmstead. We stopped and met their farmers (cows) and their goats. Very delighted to find out that this company is doing what they can for the environment and turning much of their dollars to restoration! Kudos to NSS and thank you for a very fun time!!
The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.
初ノースショア、さすがチャンピオン大会が開催されるだけありもの凄い大波に感動。SUP中にウミガメにも遭遇。良いツアーでした。
I previously went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, and it became one of my favorite places, so I returned. Riding around in a buggy through nature is truly amazing! We stopped at movie filming locations where they provided explanations in English. Since you'll get really dirty with dust, I recommend wearing clothes you don't mind throwing away! (laughs)
クアロアランチでは過去乗馬をしたのですが、その際とってもお気に入りの場所になり再訪。
バギーに乗って自然の中を走り回るのは本当に最高です!
映画のロケ地では止まって英語で説明をしてくれました。
砂埃にまみれてめちゃくちゃ汚れるので、捨ててもいい服で参加することをおすすめします!笑
It was a pool that is not very common in Japan.
I think similar pools can only be found at Fuji-Q or Nagashima Spa Land.
There were a lot of slides, and it was fun.
You might get caught in traffic on the way back, so please be careful.
日本にはあまりないプールでした。
似たプールは富士急かナガスパにしかないかな?
たくさんスライダーがあって楽しかったです。
帰りは渋滞に巻き込まれるかもです。お気をつけて。
When we left Waikiki, I was a bit anxious because of the thunderstorm and thought we might not be able to ride, but the weather was perfect when it was our turn! The horse was not as skittish as a thoroughbred and was gentle and well-behaved! Although it wasn't very tall, its body was thicker than a thoroughbred's, which made me feel even more like I was abroad! Since I had only experienced British horses, everything felt fresh and new! The instructor was cheerful, kind, beautiful, and really wonderful! The guide was Japanese, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel very secure and it was a lot of fun!
If there is enough demand, I would love to see something like "Let's run horses on the beach! (with a pre-lesson)"
Thank you very much!
ワイキキを出発したときは雷雨で乗れないかも…と少し不安でしたが、私たちが乗るとき天気にも恵まれ最高でした!
サラブレッドよりも怖がりでなく温厚で良い子でした!体高はあまり高くないものの馬体(胴回り)がサラブレッドより太く、脚で挟みきれない感じがより海外に来てる感があって良かったです!
ブリティッシュしか経験がなかったのもあって色々と新鮮でした!
インストラクターの方も明るくて親切で美人でとても素敵でした✨
ガイドさんは日本人でとても知識が豊富で説明も分かりやすくとても安心&楽しかったです♪
一定の需要があればですが、「海岸で馬を走らせてみよう!(事前レッスン着き)」みたいのがあれば嬉しいです
どうもありがとうございました!
Thank you very much for participating in the horseback riding tour with Island Makana Tours. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We will take your valuable feedback into consideration for future tours. When you come to Hawaii again, please be sure to use Island Makana Tours. Mahalo!!
この度はアイランドマカナツアーズの乗馬のツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。お客様がツアーをお楽しみ頂けたようで良かったです。貴重なご意見も今後のツアーの参考とさせていただきます。またハワイにお越しの際は、是非アイランドマカナツアーズをご利用くださいませ。Mahalo!!
It was raining at the start, so I got completely soaked. It stopped right away, but I think it's better to bring a change of clothes. The horses are used to carrying people, so they walk without disturbing the line too much, even without any intervention. Occasionally, they might stray from the line, but if you pull on the reins, they quickly return to their place. Since I wasn't used to it, my backside was incredibly sore. Still, the two-hour activity flew by. If I have the chance, I would like my grandchildren to experience it as well.
スタート時は雨が降っていたのでびしょびしょになりました。
直ぐに止みましたが、着替えは持っていた方が良いと思います。
お馬さんは何度も人を乗せて歩いているので何もしなくても有る程度列を乱すことなく歩いてくれます。たまに列から乱れることも有りますが、手綱を引っ張ったりすると直ぐにもとに戻ってくれました。
慣れていないのでお尻がものすごく痛かったです。
それでも2時間のアクティビティーはあっという間に終わりました。
機会が有れば、孫にも体験させたいと思いました。
In the morning, a heavy rainstorm hit Waikiki, and I was anxious about whether the tour would still take place. By the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was drizzling, but it cleared up by the end of the tour, and I wished it had improved a few hours earlier.
We had about 15 minutes of waiting time after arriving at the port of Kaneohe Bay, but since it was drizzling and there were hardly any covered areas, I regretted not bringing an umbrella as there wasn't much to see.
Before reaching the sandbar, we stopped at a sea turtle spot and were able to see around 10 to 20 sea turtles. That alone was impressive, but during snorkeling, I got to see a few turtles up close. The staff were all very kind, and there were several who could speak Japanese fluently, which made for a very enjoyable time. I definitely want to participate again on a sunny day.
There was one disappointing point... On the way back, we had to ride the bus without changing clothes, and the air conditioning on the bus was very strong. Even though I wrung out my wet swimsuit, it wasn't completely dry, and putting on dry clothes over it made me increasingly wet, to the point where I was shivering from the cold.
午前中雷がなるほどの豪雨がワイキキを襲い、ツアーをやるのかどきどきしました。カネオへ湾到着時は小雨、ツアー終了時に晴れたためもう数時間早くよくなればなーと思いました。
カネオへ湾の港に到着してから15分ほど出発まで時間があったのですが、小雨で屋根があるところもほぼなく特に見るものもないため傘を持ってくればよかったと思いました。
サンドバー到着前にウミガメスポットに寄り、10~20匹くらいのウミガメを目撃することが出来ました。それだけでも感動しましたが、シュノーケル時には数匹のウミガメを間近で見ることが出来ました。スタッフも皆さんとても親切でカタコトでは無い日本語を話せるスタッフが複数人いたためとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。今度は是非晴れた日に参加したいと思います。
残念な点は1点…
帰りが着替えることなくバスに乗るのですが、バスの冷房が強いことです。水着を着たまま絞ったものの完全ではないため、乾いた服を上から着てもどんどん濡れてしまい唇がガクガク震えるレベルで寒くなりました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour the other day. We were delighted to hear that you encountered many sea turtles, which are said to bring happiness. We sincerely apologize for the less-than-ideal weather, including the light rain and the cold in the vehicle on the way back. We appreciate your candid feedback and will use it to improve future tours. Thank you once again. We, along with the sea turtles, look forward to the day we can meet again.
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。幸福を呼ぶというたくさんのウミガメたちと遭遇出来たとのことでこちらまでも嬉しくなりました。当日はお天気が優れず小雨にあったり、帰りの車内が寒かったとのことで大変申し訳ございませんでした。頂いた率直なご意見を今後のツアーに生かしていきたいと思います。ありがとうございました。またお会いできる日をウミガメとともにスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
Such a great time. Though cloudy at times the sandbar was fun. The SUP was fun for my first time and all hosts were gracious and positive. The morning seems like a good time to go since the tide is lower. The live music was such a treat. My friends and I had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.
Mahalo for your review & pictures. We love it! - Team KBOS
As a couple in our 60s, we had concerns about our physical ability and skills, but we were given careful instruction. It felt amazing to travel a long distance while feeling the wind, which would have been difficult on foot. The explanations were detailed, and we were surprised. Thank you for the enjoyable time.
60代夫婦で体力や技術に不安がありましたが、丁寧に練習していただきました。
歩いては難しい長い距離を風を感じて移動するのら最高に気持ち良かったです。説明も詳しくて、驚きました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

The captain, crew, boat accommodations were all good - great! But the reason for this excursion was the snorkeling and that was just OK.
First the good: The crew did a fantastic job taking care of us all on the boat. They seamlessly prepped all the food without us realizing they were doing it, and then served it very effectively! It was really good and plenty of it. Gotta be fast to ask for seconds tho as the crew is very efficient cleaning up. The boat ride was also great!
Now the OK: I fully expected the crew would extend their care to the snorkeling adventure and split us up into groups and take us around the coral reef. They did not, and we were left to swim and fend for ourselves not really knowing how to navigate a reef without coming in contact with it, not really knowing what we should be looking for. I "happened" across a turtle that came up from the depths of the coral and almost collided with me... so I saw that one, but not much else because I wasn't sure what I should be looking at.
The window-side seat on the top floor had a great view and the food was delicious. However, the size of the steak was clearly smaller than those at the surrounding tables, which was disappointing. Additionally, they did not bring water to us or other Japanese guests.
I felt a bit sad about various things, but the evening and night views were wonderful, and we could see the fireworks well, so I think it was still a good experience. I believe those who participate can enjoy it if they have a relaxed mindset.
窓際席、一番上の階で景色も良くお料理も美味しかったです。しかし、ステーキの大きさが周りのテーブルより明らかに小さく、残念な気持ちになりました。また、私たちや他の日本人にはお水を持ってきてくれませんでした。
色々悲しい気持ちでしたが、夕景、夜景は素晴らしく花火も良く観れたので良かったのかなとは思います。
参加される方は心にゆとりがあれば楽しめるとは思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate outcome regarding customer service. However, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the meals and the fireworks on Friday from the ship. Thank you for your feedback; we will take this opportunity to continually strive for improvement.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。カスタマーサービスの件で残念な結果になったことをお詫び致します。ただ、お食事と金曜日の花火を船上よりお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。今回のお声を有難うございます、これを機会に常に改善できるよう心がけていきたいと思っております
I participated in a tour with transportation included. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member guided us and explained the flow of the tour. I was relieved to find that it was only in English.
Since it had rained before, the buggy didn't get dirty from dust, and we were able to enjoy a comfortable ride! Although I couldn't understand the explanations during the tour since they were in English, I had a great time. The tour guide took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories.
送迎付きツアーに参加しました。
到着すると日本人スタッフさんが誘導してくれ、ツアー参加までの流れを説明してくれました。英語のみだと思っていたので安心しました。
バギーは雨の後だったので砂ぼこりで汚れる事なく、快適に爆走出来ました!
ツアー中は英語のみで説明がわかりませんが、かなり楽しめます。
ツアーガイドさんが沢山写真を撮ってくれて良い思い出になります。
Since I had never ridden a horse in Japan before, I prepared by watching videos on how to ride and referring to others' experiences.
Points to be careful about:
- A waist bag is fine, but no matter how small, shoulder bags are not allowed (there's a risk of getting caught while passing through trees), so you must use a locker for $5 a day.
- You can attach a small pouch with two pockets to the saddle for drinks and your phone. You can take photos with one hand while riding.
- There are courses for the sea, mountains, and movies, but the sea is just a view from the mountains and you won't be walking on a beach. The movie course doesn't include famous spots like the fallen trees from Jurassic Park, so most of the ride is through the mountains. (That said, the open plains have beautiful scenery...) If you're not someone whose main goal is to ride for a long time, you might be disappointed.
- As for compatibility with the horse? Generally, the horse walks on its own without needing commands, but the horse I rode often stopped, and even when I kicked to signal it to start, it didn't move much, leaving a gap with the others, which made me anxious. It’s suitable for beginners since there’s no running, but experienced riders might find it lacking.
Unexpectedly good points:
- The famous hamburger at Kualoa was surprisingly delicious. The classic burger has two patties, lettuce, tomato, and cheese without any sauce, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavor of the beef, making it the best hamburger I had during my trip to Hawaii. The fries that came with it were not greasy and tasty; it was a bit too much for one person but might be insufficient for two.
- On a day with unstable weather, there was information at check-in that ponchos were available for $7 for those who were worried. Since the rain stopped while we were waiting, I didn't buy one, but riders could borrow a rubber poncho along with helmets and pouches at check-in. It was very helpful when it rained during the ride.
- Some reviews mentioned long waiting times, but we found interesting rooms that explained the history of Kualoa Ranch and photo-worthy spots, so we didn't get bored and the waiting time felt just right. (Riding was from 11:30 to 15:45)
Having watched Jurassic Park beforehand and expecting to see those locations, I was a bit disappointed with the route, but I had fun being able to ride for a long time by myself, which is something you can only experience in Japan by walking for about 10 minutes with the reins pulled. If I have the chance next time, I would like to join the Jurassic Adventure Tour that visits the sets of Jurassic Park.
日本でも乗馬したことがなかったので、事前に乗り方を動画で見る他、他の方の体験談を参考に準備していきました。
気をつける点
・腰に巻くタイプのバッグなら大丈夫ですが、荷物はどんなに小さくてもショルダーバッグはダメ(木々の間を抜けるため引っかかる危険があるため)で、1日5$のロッカーに入れなくてはなりません。
・馬の鞍にポケットが2つ付いた小物入れを設置でき、飲み物や携帯を入れることができます。携帯は乗馬中に片手でなら撮影可能です。
・海・山・映画コースとありますが、海は山から海が見える程度で砂浜とかを歩く訳でもなく、映画も有名なジュラシックパークの倒木の場所などでもないため、ほとんどが山の中を歩きます。(とはいえ拓けた平原などはキレイな景色ですが…)あくまでも長時間乗馬をすることが目的の人じゃないとガッカリするかもしれません。
・馬との相性?なのか基本的には指示しなくても勝手に歩いてくれますが、私の乗った馬は途中で止まってしまうことが多く、お腹を蹴るスタートの合図をしても中々進んでくれず前の方と間が空いてしまうことが多く焦りました。走ることはないため、初心者には向いていますが経験者には物足りないと感じるかもしれません。
予想外に良かった点
・クアロアで有名なハンバーガーは予想以上に美味しかったです。クラシックバーガーはパテ2枚・レタス・トマト・チーズのみでソースがかかっていないため、牛本来の味が楽しめハワイ旅行で1番美味しかったハンバーガーとなりました。付け合せで付いているポテトも油っこくなく美味しく、1人では多いけど2人だと物足りないかな?くらいの量でした。
・天気が不安定な日で、チェックイン時に不安な人は7$でポンチョが売っているとの案内がありました。待機中に雨が止んだため買わなかったのですが、乗馬の人は受付時にヘルメット・小物入れの他にゴム製のポンチョを借りることが出来ました。乗馬中に降られたのでとても助かりました。
・待機時間が長いとの感想がありましたが、お土産屋さんのほかにもクアロアランチの歴史がわかるお部屋があったり写真映えするポイントがあったりと、私たちは退屈することなくちょうどいいくらいの待機時間でした。(乗馬11:30~、帰り15:45)
事前にジュラシックパークを見てここに行くんだと期待してしまったため、ルートには少しガッカリしましたが、日本では手綱を引かれて10分歩く位しか体験出来ない所を自分1人で長時間乗馬することができて楽しかったです。次回があればジュラシックアドベンチャーツアーというジュラシックパークのセットを巡るツアーに参加したいと思いました。
I took a taxi to Hilton Hawaiian Village, which was fine, but I was nervous because I didn't know where the meeting place was...
I think it would be reassuring to have prior information like, "After passing through the hotel entrance, there will be a boat docked towards the beach."
On the 10:00 trip, even at a depth of 30 meters, it was bright, and I could see many fish, which was a lot of fun! I was hoping to see a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, that didn't happen... Since my elderly mother was with me, we didn't do any marine activities, but it was great to be able to explore underwater in a submarine, which is something you can't easily experience in Japan.
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでタクシーで向かったのはいいのですが…
集合場所がわからずドキドキしました。。
「ホテルの入り口を抜けて、ビーチに向かった所に船が停まっている」
などの事前案内があったら安心だと思う。
10:00の便で、海底30mでも明るく
たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかった♪
ホヌに会えるのを願ってましたが…叶わず。。
高齢の母も一緒だったので、マリンアクティビティは一切なかったので、日本ではなかなか体験できない潜水艦で、水中散策ができたのでよかったです。
アロハ、レビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。あなたとお母様が私たちの最新鋭の潜水艦で海洋生物を見ることを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。ご不便をおかけしたことを心よりお詫び申し上げます。貴重なフィードバックを感謝し、私たちのリーダーシップチームとレビューを共有しました。すべてのお客様に楽しい体験を提供できるよう努めてまいります。改善すべき点についての詳細を共有していただき、マハロです。
Aloha, and thank you for sharing your review. We are happy you and your mother enjoyed seeing marine life aboard our state of the art submarine. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and have shared your review with our leadership team as we hope to offer all of our guests an enjoyable experience. Mahalo for sharing the details about areas that we may improve.
We loved this so much that we have booked again before we leave. Best mai tai i’ve tasted, friendly crew, beautiful going out on the open sea and even saw dolphins beside us! Thank you for such a fun experience!
It was so amazing view was great and our tour guys where amazing Matt and I can’t remember the girl with brown hair and glasses (sorry) they did an amazing job!! Love it will come back again soon Mahalo :)
I have visited Honolulu many times and enjoyed gourmet experiences at tourist spots like North Shore, Manoa, and Kailua in the past. This time, I experienced a 90-minute sailing on the sea of Honolulu. During check-in, a lovely woman provided a detailed explanation, and on board, a cheerful male crew member offered various services. It was amazing to see the scenery from the sea, looking at the city of Honolulu, the hotels, Diamond Head, and the Pacific Ocean, which I usually viewed from the land. Although the weather wasn't perfectly sunny, I didn't get sunburned and enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze along with delicious free drinks served by the staff. I had beer, cocktails, white wine, and champagne, feeling pleasantly tipsy. With a capacity of 42 people, there were 14 of us (6 Japanese, 2 Australians, and others), and we had a wonderful time taking photos and chatting (I conversed with an Australian family).
何回もホノルルへ来ていて、過去ノースショア・マノア・カイルアなどの観光地でグルメ中心に楽しんでいました。今回、ホノルルの海を90分のセーリングを経験。チェックインでは、ハーフの素敵な女性が丁寧に説明してくれ、乗船では明るい男性乗船が色々なサービスをしてくれ、いつもは街から見ていた風景を、海からホノルルの街やホテル・ダイヤモンド・太平洋を見ることができ、最高でした。天候は快晴ではなかったけど、日焼けせず、心地よい海風と美味しいフリードリンクを、スタッフがサーブしてくれ、ビール・カクテル・白ワイン・シャンパンを飲み、ほろ酔い加減。42名?の定員で、14名(日本人6、オーストラリア人2他)で、写真を取り合ったり、おしゃべりしたり(当方オーストラリア人の親子と歓談)と素敵な時間でした。
We participated with three children, including a one-year-old, and two adults. Other activities that included dolphin encounters and snorkeling seemed too expensive, and I thought the snorkeling might scare the kids. Additionally, there were limited boat activities available for a one-year-old, so I thought this sailing would be just right and made a reservation. The size of the boat and the duration of the trip were perfect for the kids, and by chance, we were able to see a school of flying fish and a turtle, which was exciting. The waves made the boat bounce, and the splashes of water were fun for the elementary school kids, while the preschooler clung to me in fear. I couldn't let the one-year-old roam freely, but they fell asleep partway through, allowing us to enjoy the ride at a leisurely pace. It became a very enjoyable memory.
1歳を含む3人の子供と大人2人で参加しました。他にあるイルカ遭遇やシュノーケル付きのアクティビティではシュノーケルはまだ子供が怖がるのと料金が高いと思っていました。また1歳が参加できる乗船のアクティビティも限られてたので、今回のセーリングがちょうど良いと思い予約しました。船内の広さや乗船時間も子供達にもちょうどよく、偶然だと思いますがトビウオの群れやカメも見ることができて興奮しました。波で船がはずんで水飛沫がかかります。小学生にはそれが楽しく、保育園児は怖がって私にしがみついていました。1歳児は自由にはさせられませんが、途中から寝てくれたのでゆっくり乗船できました。とても楽しい思い出になりました。
This tour is conducted in English, but even if your English isn't very good, they kindly assist you using translation software. When purchasing tickets or entering, the driver had informed us in advance that we should buy tickets together with the foreign guests who joined us as part of the same group, which made things really easy. Above all, it's a great value! Compared to Japanese-speaking shuttle tours, it's truly reasonable. There was plenty of time to enjoy, so we were able to relax on the beach until it was time for pickup!
こちらのツアーは、英語での案内になりますが、
英語がそんなにできなくても、翻訳ソフトなどを使って、親切に教えてくれます。実際にチケットを購入したり、入場する際も、相乗りしてきた外国人の方に同一グループとして一緒に購入してあげて欲しいと、あらかじめドライバーさんから申し伝わっているので、本当に楽でした。何よりも、コスパがいい!日本語対応の送迎ツアーと比べて本当にリーズナブル。滞在時間もたっぷりあるので、お迎えまでビーチでゆっくりできました!
