Oahu
Not only did we get to see dolphins jumping around having a blast, but the sunshine was out!! It was a great day.
Aloha Kara,

My kiddos had a blast, it was so worth it if you do have kiddos as Chief S really incorporates everyone in the crowd!
Great evening, very funny night and good food as well. Make sure to get there early as your seats depend on so!
Great way to get ahead and skip the lines, ready to enter all museums!
Arizona comes with the tour, which is half the troubles on the park. Great and easy experience!
We love the setting of the boat lounge. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love the donuts and drinks! The singers while sailing are also good. We also love how they guide us on how to do the snorkeling and how they are protecting us while doing our sandbar activities. Special thanks to Toby for checking on us while doing the paddle board. We will definitely go back with them on our next Oahu trip! Highly recommended! Don't go somewhere else if you want the best Sandbar experience!!!
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo! - Team KBOS
Highly recommend. The staff explains everything to you on what to do and not to do. Staff got your back. Overall great experience
Mahalo for the review & recommendation! - Team KBOS
I had a horseback riding experience. The experience itself was very enjoyable, but the website stated an 8 AM meeting time and a 1 PM departure, so I planned for a half-day in the morning. However, it actually turned out to be an 8 AM meeting time and a 3:30 PM departure. After arriving at the site, we had to wait for 2 hours until the activity started, and after the activity ended, we waited another 2 hours until the bus departed, totaling 4 hours of waiting time. As a result, it took the whole day, and I had to cancel my afternoon plans. For these reasons, I think it's best for those making reservations to be cautious.
乗馬体験をしました。乗馬体験自体はとても楽しかったですが、サイトには8時集合13時出発とのことで午前の半日の予定をしていましたが、実際は8時集合15時半出発となり、現地到着後もアクティビティ開始まで2時間待ち、アクティビティ終了後も2時間バス出発まで計4時間待ち時間がありました。結果丸一日がかかり午後の予定をキャンセルせざるえませんでした。上記の理由から、予約される方はご注意された方がいいと思います。
We had a great time with fantastic performances and snacks even before arriving at the sandbar. Even after the boat stopped, their wonderful performance continued. Thanks to that, returning to the boat after activities wasn't boring. Moreover, kids can see a lot of fish at a shallow depth for snorkeling. I highly recommend this tour! The staff are extremely kind and friendly.

I participated on the last day with a reservation, and it was more enjoyable than I expected. Regarding the food, it was impressive, which can be said for all of Hawaii. My wife and daughter were also pleased. The show had a slightly smaller audience due to the day of the week, but the Western guests really got into it, making it a lot of fun. I would like to participate again next time I visit Hawaii.
最終日に予約の上で参加しましたが
期待以上で楽しかったです。
食事についてはハワイ全体で言えることですが
豪快なものでした。
妻と娘も喜んでました。
ショーは曜日の関係もあり観客が少々少なかったですが
欧米の方が盛り上げてくださり大変楽しかったです。
次回、ハワイに行った際も参加したいですね。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show with your family on the last day of your stay in Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau buffet, as well as the performances by Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. 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&ショーにハワイ滞在最終日に御家族でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど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。
Both the participants and the staff created a great atmosphere, making it a memorable page in my travel experiences! I was able to see more animals than I expected. The food was delicious too.
参加者もスタッフもいい雰囲気で旅行の思い出の1ページになりました!動物も思ったより多く見れました。ご飯もおいしかったです。
This was my first time participating.
It was a snorkeling experience in the calm coral sea.
I can't swim at all, but I felt safe because I wore a life jacket and the staff guided me by pulling a float.
I was able to see many sea turtles and fish.
On the boat, we were served spam rice balls, snacks, and warm drinks.
Since February is the rainy season, we got caught in the rain on the way back, and it was cold.
I think it's a good idea to bring a hotel beach towel and a cover-up.
初めて参加しました。
珊瑚の穏やかな海のシュノーケリングでした。
全く泳げませんが、ライフジャケットを付け
スタッフさんが浮きを引っ張って誘導してくれたので安心でした。
海亀や魚が沢山見れました。
ボートではスパムおにぎりやスナック菓子
温かい飲み物がいただけます。
2月は雨季と言う事で帰りにボートの上で雨に降られて寒かったです。
ホテルのビーチタオルと羽織りは持って行った方がいいと思います。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you very much for joining our Paradise Ocean Tour for the first time the other day.
It seems you were able to enjoy your first snorkeling experience with peace of mind. I'm really glad you encountered many marine creatures, including the honu (sea turtles).
Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. We, along with the honu, look forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
先日は初!天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございました。
初シュノーケリングも安心して楽しんで頂けたようたようですね。ホヌをはじめ多くの海の生物たちと遭遇出来て本当に良かったです。
またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ遊びにいらしてください。その日をホヌたちと楽しみにお待ちしております。Mahalo!
Due to high waves on the day, we were advised to switch to surfing, and although I was a bit anxious, I went ahead with the change. The staff, who spoke a little Japanese, kindly taught us, and we were able to get on the board quickly. My wife was with me, and she also got the hang of it right away, so we both had a lot of fun.
The one-hour session flew by, but it was just the right amount of physical activity. I was sore the next day. (laughs)
We borrowed the designated rash guards from the shop. We packed our belongings into one backpack for the two of us. They provided towels for us.
当日波が高かったため、サーフィンへの変更を薦めてもらい、不安がありながらサーフィンに変更しました。
日本語が少し話せるスタッフが優しく教えてくださり、すぐボードに乗れるようになりました。奥さんも一緒でしたがすぐ乗れるようになり、2人でとても楽しめました。
1時間の時間もあっという間でしたが、体力的に丁度良かったです。次の日は筋肉痛でした。笑
ラッシュガードは店の指定のものを借りて着用します。私たちは2人でナップサック1つに荷物をまとめました。タオルは貸し出ししてくれます。
Dear Ryu,
Thank you very much for the five-star rating. I'm glad to hear that you both enjoyed your time, even while changing to surfing. Next time, it would be great for you to experience a stand-up paddle lesson! I appreciate your explanation regarding the rush guard and your luggage. Unfortunately, we do not provide towels for rent. The towels we offer are available only for guests staying at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, so customers not staying there are kindly requested to bring their own towels. We look forward to your next visit!
リュウ様:
五つ星のレイティング、誠に有難うございます。サーフィンに変わりながらもお二人で楽しんで頂けたようで何よりです。次回は是非スタンドアップパドルレッスンをご体験なされると良いですね!ラッシュガード、お荷物の件も説明して頂き有難いです。タオルは残念ながら貸し出しはしておりません。弊社の扱っているタオルは、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルにお泊りの方のみご利用頂けますので、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルに泊まっていないお客様はタオルをご持参願います。 またのお越しをお待ちしております!
My 12 year enjoyed a lot. I am a non swimmer but with Faith guide it was a very good experience.
It was my first time snorkeling, and it became a wonderful memory! Having a Japanese guide was a great help for me since I'm not good at English. They swam alongside beginners and provided thorough explanations, which made the entire snorkeling experience enjoyable! If I have the opportunity to participate again, I look forward to it!
シュノーケリング初めてでしたが、とても素敵な思い出になりました!
ガイドさんで日本人の方がいるため、英語が苦手な私にはとても助かりました。
初心者の方に合わせて一緒に泳いでくださったり、ご丁寧な説明のおかげで終始楽しくシュノーケリングが出来ました!
また参加する機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします!
First, we enjoyed a welcome drink in a separate room, and the show director guided us backstage, sharing insights about the costumes of the show members and the creative aspects behind the scenes. The dancers' costumes were heavy, and Elvis's outfits were quite flashy.
During dinner, we were able to go for our meal with priority, and we could watch the show happening right next to us. The first half of the show featured the history of Hawaiian music. We listened to nostalgic songs that showcased the changing rhythms of Hawaiian music over time. There was an introduction to famous Hawaiian singers, and I learned about the number one singer in Hawaii, IZ, also known as Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.
The second half was the much-anticipated Elvis and Michael showtime. Elvis performed his signature hip-shaking dance in his flashy costume, while Michael dazzled us with his ghost dance and moonwalk. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and the American female audience was thrilled during the showtime. One unforgettable highlight was the main female singer who performed beautifully throughout the show.
最初にウエルカムドリンクを別室で頂いて、ショーデイレクターに楽屋裏を案内してもらいショーメンバーの衣装や楽屋裏の工夫なんかを教えてもらいました。ダンサーの衣装の重いこと、エルビスの衣装の派手なこと。
夕食では優先的の食事をとりに行けて、食事中の行われるショウもすぐそばで見れました。
ショウは前半がハワイアンミュージックの歴史。ハワイアンミュージックを時代順にリズムが変わっていくのを懐かしい曲に乗せて聴くことが出来ました。ハワイアンの有名な歌手の紹介があって
ハワイで1番の歌手IZことイズラエル・カマヴィオヴォオレを知ることが出来た。後半はお待ちかねエルビス&マイケルのショウタイム。エルビスのお決まりの派手な衣装での腰振りダンス。マイケルのお化けダンスにムーンウォークととても楽しめる内容、米国の女性客は大盛り上がりのショウタイム、楽しいいひとときでした。その中でもメインで通しで歌う女性歌手が歌が素敵だったことが忘れられない。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockafella Green Room Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the show during the luau buffet, featuring Elvis, Michael, and female singers, showcasing the history of Hawaiian music from the 1920s. We sincerely look forward to your next visit when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ グリーンルーム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。ルアウブッフェのお食事中のショー、エルビスやマイケルそして、女性歌手など1920年代からのハワイの音楽の歴史として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 Dole farm and factory were a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful as well. For lunch, a sandwich lunch box was provided. No Japanese guidebook was handed out. However, at the Dole plantation, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese and explained important parts in Japanese (it might have been a coincidence). Additionally, the guide could speak some Japanese, so there were times when they communicated using Japanese words. During the transfers, the guide explained various things about Hawaii in English. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I still enjoyed each of the places we visited.
ドールの農場も工場もとても楽しかったです.海もきれいでした.お昼はサンドイッチのランチBOXが配布されました.
日本語の案内書は渡されませんでした.しかし,(偶然かもしれませんが)ドール農園では,日本語を話せるスタッフの方が同行してくださり,重要な部分を日本語で説明してくださいました.また,ガイドさんも多少日本語が話せる方でしたので,日本語の単語でコミュニケーションを取ってくださることもありました.
移動中はガイドさんが,英語でハワイの様々なことを説明してくださいます.
残念ながら,私はその解説の大半を理解することができませんでしたが,それでもそれぞれの訪問地を十分楽しむことができました.
A couple over 60 participated together. Since they are active and regularly exercise, they weren't worried about their physical stamina, but it was their first experience with kayaking, so they chose a two-hour guided tandem ride. Paddling through the blue sea while getting splashed by the waves was a refreshing escape from daily life, and it felt truly wonderful. If there's a next time, they would like to try the five-hour course as well. However, they only brought $30 in cash and were dismayed to realize that tips were necessary. They apologized to the guide and left what they could, but they regret not being able to give more.
還暦を過ぎた夫婦 2人で参加 普段から体を動かしているので 体力的には心配ありませんでしたが カヤックは初体験なので 2時間のガイド付き 2人乗りを選びました。
波を被りながら漕ぎ進む青い海は 日常とかけ離れていて 本当に気持ち良かったです。次回があるなら 5時間コースも体験したいです。
ただ、現金を$30しか持って行かなくて
チップが必要とわかって愕然としてしまいました。ガイドさんに謝ってあるだけ置いてきましたが 申し訳ない事をしてしまったと反省しています。
Dear Yukiko,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the kayak tour. We hope you will join us for the 5-hour tour next time. We look forward to seeing you again.

Really great tour with friendly staff! The snorkeling was amazing and the banana boat was really fun. Loved it!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Boat crews were friendly and knowledgeable. They were like your adventure buddies. Super laid-back, cracking jokes, and making sure everyone was having a blast.

I was worried because it was raining in the morning, but the sun peeked out along the way, and I was able to see a very beautiful sandbar! However, it was indeed cold in February.
朝雨が降っていたので、心配していましたが途中から晴れ間がのぞき、とても綺麗なサンドバーが見れました!ただやはり2月は寒かったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your photos. From all of us at KBOS.
この度はツアーへのご参加、またお写真も共有頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
We were in Waikiki and I was able to book on Wednesday for a snorkeling trip on Friday. We were picked up on time, Veltra had all the supplies we needed (get an umbrella...there's no shade and you are there for a long time). The bay was beautiful. They picked us up from the bay on time. We had an amazing day. Thanks, Veltra!!!
I went with a 9-year-old girl. I was surprised by the number of impressive slides, but none of them were too scary; in fact, they felt quite nice, and the child rode them repeatedly. Since it was the off-season, there was hardly any waiting time, which was great. They were closing one slide next to another and opening the other, so there were some we couldn't ride, but they switched them around over time, so we were able to experience most of the attractions during our day there. We added a free drink option, but it was cold, and there were only carbonated drinks available, so we only consumed the water we brought with us; we didn't really need the free drink. Since we had a light appetite, it was cheaper not to include meals. In February, even wearing a rash guard, it was cold when the wind blew on our wet bodies. It was nice to have some warmth when the sun was out. I thought it was a bit odd to come all the way to Hawaii to play with artificial attractions, but I heard the child would enjoy it, and I ended up having a great time as well.
9歳の女の子と2人で行きました。結構迫力のあるスライダーが多くて、驚きましたが、どれもそれほど怖くなく、むしろ気持ちが良くて、子供は何回も繰り返し乗っていました。オフシーズンだったのでほとんど待ち時間がなかったのも良かったです。隣り合うスライダーを一つをクローズして片方をオープンする、ようにしていたので、乗れないものもありましたが、時間が経つと逆になっているので、1日滞在しているうちにはほとんどの施設を経験可能でした。フリードリンクを付けましたが、寒かったことと、飲み物は炭酸飲料くらいしかなかったので持参した水のみしか消費せず、フリードリンクはなくても良かったです。食事も少食なので付けていない方が安くすみました。2月はラッシュガードを着ても、濡れた体に風が吹くと寒かったです。日差しがあるとあたたかくて助かりました。
わざわざハワイに来て人工的なもので遊ぶのもなー、と思いつつ子供が喜ぶと聞いて来たのですが、大人も十分に楽しめました。
Dear Hanon,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I think this year is a bit cooler compared to last year.
We look forward to your next visit.
Mahalo,
Aloha Hanon 様、
大変貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。今年は前の年から比べると少し温度が低いかと思います。
是非又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
Mahalo,
booked this last minute when I learned you needed a ticket to enter diamond head and those offered by the national park system were sold out. I was very pleased with the ease of booking they were on time provided excellent direction on where to meet events if the morning. Highly recommend!
I was able to enjoy a leisurely 2-hour horseback ride. By the end, my rear was sore, so please be careful. About an hour of riding would be ideal.
2時間ゆっくりと馬に乗り楽しんで過ごせました。最後は、お尻が痛かったので気をつけてください。1時間くらいの乗馬があればベストです。
Highly recommend this evening out . The captain and his first mate are absolutely professional and also a lot of fun. We felt very looked after and safe on the adventure . The wind was pretty rough and the sea was the same but they did an excellent job ensuring our safety and comfort.
Cheers to the crew and the sunset experience.
Would recommend to anyone .
Thank you
So much fun, everyone is so friendly and such high energy. Good value for money. 10/10 would defiantly recommend.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
One ride was not open. The lady that greeted us was awesome and our concierge…gave her a 20 tip …we stayed primarily in the wave pool. Wasn’t really clean but clean enough to get in. Food was okay and the rides were very short.. lots of walking up steps to get to them. You had to carry the tubes up the steps which were very heavy cause I guess we’re weaklings . A residence…young teen carried it up like a champ. Was fun nonetheless but spent so much on that waterpark as much as universals studios almost but no where close to as many rides at all!
Aloha Fleecyfrese,
Thank you for your valuable comments.
The Bay itself is amazing.
Hotel pickup and drop off was on time. Everyone very Nice and polite.
The One thing i didint like was that they ask You for You to bring cash to pay for the entrance. And give your money to another guest, and ask Himmler to pay for the whole party. Is confusing and weird. Specially after finding Out that at the entrance the DO accept cards.
The weather could have been better but we made the most of it.
The cruise had free flowing drinks and staff were great fun.
