I had a wonderful time with people from various countries. The cheerful and entertaining tour guide provided a Japanese guide, which was a great help for me since I'm not very good at English. They took many photos and the tour was filled with thoughtful gestures. Everyone who participated enjoyed a friendly atmosphere until the end. At Waimea Canyon, we arrived at the waterfall first and had it all to ourselves for a while. The schedule for the sightseeing spots and the overall timing was perfect. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely love to join other tours as well.
いろいろな国の方たちと大変楽しく過ごせました。明るく面白いツアーガイドさんの日本語ガイドもあり、英語が苦手な私は大変助かりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり気遣いの溢れたツアーでした。参加された方々皆んな最後まで和気あいあいと過ごしました。ワイメア渓谷では、滝に一番に着き暫く貸し切りとなり、途中の観光スポット、全体の時間のスケジュールも完璧でした。また、機会あれば、他のツアーにもぜひぜひ参加したいです。

My 20-year-old daughter is shy and dislikes the ocean, so she was adamant about not wanting to try snorkeling. The entire crew encouraged her, saying they would help her along, but she still refused. However, the way they maintained a respectful distance was really nice. They told us that it was okay not to go and that we didn't have to force ourselves, which made us feel like we didn't miss out. In the end, despite her initial reluctance, my daughter had a great time and created wonderful memories. They also took some really beautiful photos.
娘20歳はシャイで海が嫌いなのですが、シュノーケル体験は頑なにしたくないと。
クルーの方全員が、引っ張ってあげるから行こうと誘ってくださいました。それでも拒否、でも無理矢理でない距離感がすごく良かったです。
行かなかった私達に行けなくて、無理しなくてよかったね。と声をかけてくれて、損をした感じがしなかったです。
結果、娘はあんなに嫌がっていたのにとても楽かったと、よい思い出が作れました。

This was a great way to spend our afternoon. The water sports offered were so fun! This was hands down the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. The reef and fish were beautiful. The crew was helpful and energetic.I felt so comfortable during this entire excursion! To top it all off, the live performers were OUTSTANDING. It was the perfect way to ride out into the beautiful Hawaiian waters. Loved loved loved this!

I thought the show would take place by the lagoon pool, but it turned out to be an interactive experience in the lagoon itself. It seems like something that wouldn't be possible in Japan due to safety and hygiene concerns, haha. The life jackets are excellent and keep you upright, floating up to your chest.
When you stretch your arms out in front of you, the dolphins swim by and you can automatically pet them from head to tail. Not everyone may get this, but the instructor explained everything in perfect Japanese (maybe of Japanese descent? A local person), which was really helpful. In addition to the instructor, a Japanese person was in charge of guiding us from the meeting point to the lagoon and providing various instructions, which made me feel very secure.
For the dolphin photo op, they take two pictures: one as part of the package and another as an additional option. You can see it from the spectator seats at the lagoon, so if you have family members who aren't participating, they can take photos of the experience.
ショーをやるラグーンの横のプールで実施するのかと思ったら、まさかのラグーンに入っての触れ合いでした。日本だと安全面・衛生面で叶わなそうですw ライフジャケットは優秀で、直立で胸まで浮きます。
腕を前に伸ばして待つと、イルカが前を泳いで行って自動的に頭から尾まで撫でられるスタイルです。
全員ではないかもしれませんが、インストラクターが完全な日本語(日系?現地の方)で説明してくれて助かりました。インストラクターの他に、集合場所からラグーンまでの案内や諸注意を日本人が担当してくれたので、とても安心しました。

We participated with three middle and high school students and my spouse. Although it was a long two hours, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were very smart, making it an enjoyable experience. Once you start riding, it's non-stop for two hours. Make sure to use the restroom beforehand. Also, if you're not comfortable with hard seats, you might experience pain in your buttocks or the tops of your legs towards the end. I also felt some discomfort in my rear during the latter part. My wife and two children rated it as the best activity of our trip. The guide hardly spoke any Japanese, but I think if you watch the Japanese explanation video beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem for those who don't understand English regarding horseback riding. Additionally, only waist bags are allowed while riding. Other types of bags should be stored in nearby paid coin lockers or left at the reception desk (we had to leave ours at the reception due to a locker malfunction, so it's best to avoid bringing valuables).
There is an English sign at the dismounting area that says, "If you enjoyed and are satisfied, please consider tipping." I think a tip of around 15% is generally expected.
中高生3人と夫婦で参加。2時間という長時間ですが景色も良く、お馬さん達も大変賢く楽しむ事ができました。一度乗馬すれば2時間ノンストップです。トイレはしっかりと事前に済ませましょう。また、硬い椅子が苦手な方は後半お尻や足の付け根が痛くなります。当方も後半お尻が痛くなりました。妻と子供2人からは旅行中のアクティビティとしては最高評価でした。ガイドさんはほぼ日本語は通じませんが、事前の日本語説明ビデオを見れば英語が分からない方でも乗馬に関しては問題ないと思われます。また、乗馬の際にはウエストバックのみ着用可能です。他の形状のバック類は近くの有料のコインロッカーか、受付フロントに預けましょう(私たちはロッカー故障で仕方なく受付預かりにしました、極力貴重品は持って行かない方がいいです)。
「楽しめて満足できたらチップをよろしくね」と馬から降りる場所に英字の看板があります。原則15%~程度ののチップは必要かと思います。

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes, but the meat is tough and the seafood seasoning doesn't suit Japanese tastes, so overall, it was disappointing. Honestly, it might have been better to skip the buffet and use nearby restaurants or food trucks. The presentation of the food was interesting, but the taste quality received low ratings even from middle and high school kids.
As for the show, I can recommend it for adults, but since it's conducted in Hawaiian and English, you would need a certain level of English listening skills and some prior knowledge of the story to fully understand and appreciate it. There was a mix-up, or perhaps there were empty seats, as I ended up in a gold seat instead of the bronze seat I was supposed to have, which was a nice surprise. It seems that the main audience consists of tourists from the mainland U.S., and it's not a tourist spot that particularly caters to Japanese visitors. Additionally, due to the timing and travel fatigue, the kids seemed to doze off and didn't appear to enjoy it much.
The air conditioning on the shuttle bus was extremely cold, even for someone like me who tends to get hot easily. It's essential to bring a jacket if you're taking the bus.
Regarding tipping the shuttle bus driver, I didn't give one this time. The driver on the way there was very engaging and kept the conversation in English enjoyable, so some travelers from the mainland did tip him. Since there were several Japanese tourists as well, I think it would be nice to tip if there were a bit more service geared towards Japanese visitors.
ビッフェの品数も多いのですが、肉類は硬く海鮮系の味付けも日本人には合わず全体的に期待できません。正直、勿体無いけどビッフェは捨てて、近隣のレストランやフードトラックを利用した方が良かったぐらいです。食事の見た目は珍しい物も多く良いのですが、味のクォリティは中高生の子供達からも評価は低かったです。
また、ショーは大人へはお勧めできますが、ハワイ語?と英語での進行ですので、ある程度の英語ヒアリング能力やストーリー内容の予習がないと理解と評価は格段に下がってしまうと思われます。手違いか、空席があったのかブロンズシートの筈が何故かゴールドシートの端になっていたのは有り難かったです。どちらかと言えばアメリカ本土からの観光客がメインで、日本人観光客を優遇してくれるような観光地ではありません。また時間帯の影響と旅の疲れで子供達はウトウトして余り楽しんだ様子はありませんでした。
送迎バスのエアコンがガンガンで、超暑がりの私でも凍える程でした。バスに乗られる方の上着持参は必須です。
個人的に気になった、送迎バスの運転手へのチップですが今回は渡していません。行きのバスの運転手は道中英語での会話で終始楽しませてくれる方なので、本土からの旅行者の中にはチップを渡していた方もいました。日本人観光客も複数組居ましたので、少々日本人向けのサービスでもあれば渡してあげれば良いと思います。

I enjoyed every aspect of this excursion, from the moment i was picked up from the pick up spot in Waikiki, to the excursion itself, and to the return back to Waikiki. The banana tubing and regular tubing was a lot of fun, i do find myself as a snorkeling junkie, so I mostly snorkeled the entire time. I saw some amazing fish in the reef. I felt very safe all day. My friend did the kayaking and SUPing and enjoyed their time. The musicians were amazing. I would like to thank everyone for such a great experience.

There are similar tours available but this is the best tour by far! We chose the morning tour. Donuts (2-3 different types), orange juice and water were provided in a boat while going to Sandbar. Probably it took about 10-15 minutes to get there. 2 staff played live music and sang variety of songs. It was beautiful and they are great singers! In the boat, there are a few bathrooms for women and I believe one bathroom for men. Life vest is available for everyone. You can bring your own beverage including alcohol. You can do some water activities or relax in the boat. Snorkeling gear is available for free, kayak and SUP are also available though you may need to wait for your turn if they are occupied. Just being in the water (we went there at high tide and the water was close to my neck and I’m 5’4”) was relaxing since the water was so warm and clear. If you have small children, you may want to choose low tide timing unless your kids are comfortable with deeper water. There was no wave (very gentle water movement). I strongly recommend this tour to everyone. This tour provides something for everyone to have fun!

The personalities of the two were wonderful, and the pleasant sea breeze and beer were the best! Just before reaching Diamond Head, it started to rain and got cold, so we had to turn back unexpectedly, but since the weather is beyond our control, it doesn't affect my evaluation at all. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to bring a sports towel or a hooded rash guard.
More than that, the view of the ocean from the boat, the changing colors of the sea as we went further out, the flying fish jumping around, the blue sky, and above all, the fun atmosphere on the boat made for an incredibly enjoyable experience for both my daughter and me. It truly became a great memory. I think the cost-performance is also very good. I highly recommend it!
お二人の人柄も、気持ちの良い海風とビール、最高でした!ダイヤモンドヘッドに着く手前で雨が降り出して寒く、急遽引き返してやり過ごすことになりましたが、天気はどうしようもないので、全く評価の対象外です。心配な方は、スポーツタオルやフード付きのラッシュガードのようなものを持参されるとよいかもしれません。
それより船から見る沖の景色や沖に出る程に変わる海の色、周りで飛び跳ねる飛び魚、青い空、何より船上の楽しい雰囲気で娘も私も最高に楽しく本当に良い思い出になりました。コスパもとても良いと思います。お勧めです!

Hanauma Bay, which has a reservation system and entry restrictions, was a great experience. To ensure we could enter, we asked a guide for assistance this time. With transportation included, we were able to complete our activities in the morning, allowing us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, which is a big plus. Since snorkeling in an unfamiliar sea can be concerning due to currents, having an experienced guide made it easy to focus solely on watching the fish. The guide is also fluent in Japanese, so everyone can feel at ease. They took photos during our snorkeling session, which they later uploaded to Facebook for us.
予約制で入場制限も出来たハナウマ湾。確実に入場できるように今回はガイドさんにお願いしました。送迎付きで無駄なくアクティビティの時間も午前中で完了しますので、半日は別の予定を入れる事ができるのも大きな魅力です。知らない海でのシュノーケリングですので、個人で行くと潮流等が不安ですが、慣れたガイドさんが居るので安心して魚を見る事だけに集中する事ができました。ガイドさんは日本語も堪能ですので皆さん安心できると思います。

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.
I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.
There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.
The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.
However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.
Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.
アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。
一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。
二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。
先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい!という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。
ただ、かなり日焼けします!

At Kualoa Ranch, there are tours available by buggy, bus, and bicycle, but exploring the vast landscape on horseback is truly exceptional. You can take photos with your phone using one hand, as long as you keep your left hand on the reins, but it's a good idea to prepare something to hang around your neck for added security. Additionally, large backpacks and hats will need to be stored in coin lockers that allow for multiple entries. Regarding horseback riding abroad, there are Japanese-language explanations provided in advance, and the horses are familiar with the tour routes, so I think beginners will be just fine. (This may not be limited to this experience, but in general, for beginner horseback riding, it doesn't feel like you are controlling the horse.)
クアロア牧場自体は、バギー、バス、自転車で回るツアーもありますが、広大な風景を馬で回るのは格別です。携帯での写真撮影は左手を離さないことを条件に片手での撮影可能ですが、首から下げるものを準備などしておくと安心です。なお、大きなリュック、帽子などは、何度も出し入れ可能なコインロッカーに入れる事になります。海外での乗馬と言う事に関しては、日本語の事前解説も準備されており、更に、馬さんは、見学ルートに慣れているので初心者でも大丈夫だと思います。(これに限ったことではないと思いますが、初心者向け乗馬全般的に、操作して馬を操っていると言う感覚ではない)

I had been to Kailua before, but my wife wanted to visit a specific store, and we could also go to Whole Foods, plus we could snorkel at Lanikai, so I decided to join. We opted for bike rentals. Riding through the streets of Kailua on a bicycle felt very local and was great. I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery that I would have missed if I were in a car. It was my first time snorkeling at Lanikai, and to my surprise, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me! I've seen sea turtles many times, but seeing one so close and in the water was an incredible experience. The only downside was the lack of shade; if you go, I recommend bringing a tent or an umbrella. Also, the snorkeling goggles weren't treated with anti-fog, so they fogged up quickly, and seawater kept getting in, so I would like to suggest improvements on that.
カイルアの街は初めてではなかったけど、妻が行きたい店があったし、ホールフーズにも行けるし、ラニカイでシュノーケルができるので参加しました。オプションはレンタサイクルにしました。カイルアの街を自転車で走るのは地元感があって良かった。車だと通り過ぎてしまう景色をゆっくりと見れました。初めてラニカイでシュノーケルをしましたが、なんとウミガメが目の前に!ウミガメは何度も見たことがありますが、こんな近くでそれも海の中で見れるなんて感度でした。ただ日陰がないのが残念、行く場合はテントかパラソルを持って行くのが良いかと。あとシュノーケルのメガネがくもりどめが塗ってないのかすぐに曇るのと、海水がすぐに入ってくるので改善をお願いしたい。

The explanation of the doctor's passion for the starry sky was very good. As the sky darkened, I was moved by how many more stars became visible to the naked eye. The explanations are in English, but I think everyone can enjoy them since they are all well-known stars. Not only stars, but we also got to see Venus, Saturn, Mars, and shooting stars, making it a tour that met my expectations.
博士の星空への情熱が伝わる説明がとても良かったです。空が暗くなるにつれて、肉眼で見える星が増えていき感動しました。説明は英語ですが誰もが知る星ばかりなので楽しめると思います。
星だけではなく、金星、土星、火星、そして流れ星も見られて期待通りのツアーでした。
ありがとう!星を目指し続けてください!!
Mahalo ! Keep reaching for the stars !!

The food, service, and entertainment were very good. The trip was organized well. Very clean facility and the experience was so enjoyable. We loved the sunset and fireworks while onboard. We'd take friends along on another cruise in the future. This is a great idea for special occasions.

The crew and experience was great. The organization of the trip was well done. My child often gets motion sickness and the ship was so smooth they didn't even feel a thing. The activities were fun, first time paddleboarding and we had a blast.
The musicians were wonderful and entertaining. Loved the hawaiian music along with contemporary songs.
The only thing that made it less of a 5 star, was something the crew could not control. We should have checked the timing of the tides. We were expecting to be walking on sand in the middle of the ocean, but I suspect we picked a day where it was hightide, so we never "walked" on the sand, we were swimming the entire time.
Mahalo for sharing your experience with us. Team KBOS

This experience was beyond my expectations! We came to Hawaii to celebrate my husband’s birthday and out of all the things we did, this was his favorite activity. The music was on point, everyone was super welcoming and the crew was amazing which made the experience even better!!! This is a most if you come to Oahu!!!!

Eight years ago when I participated, the weather was good, and the sandbar was at knee height, which made it very enjoyable.
The snorkeling felt like swimming in a line, and the staff was right there with us in the water, which was reassuring.
Now that my child has grown a bit, we participated again, but this time the water was at adult chest height, and my child couldn't enjoy it. The snorkeling spot was murky, and we couldn't see many fish.
Previously, the staff entered the water with us and kept an eye on us, but this time they just watched from the boat.
It was quite scary when we drifted off course due to the waves.
I participated this time because I felt safe before, but while it seems like anyone, even beginners or those who aren't good swimmers, can join, it's challenging when dealing with nature.
Personally, I think I would have skipped snorkeling today because it was quite frightening. It would have been better to have some information about the sea conditions today, like if there were more waves than usual.
There wasn't much confirmation of the number of people before and after entering the water, so I was left wondering about the safety measures in place.
I wouldn't really recommend this for people who don't have much experience in the sea.
以前(8年前に)参加した時は天候も良く、サンドバーも膝ぐらいの高さでとても楽しめました。
シュノーケルも列になって泳ぐという感じで
スタッフの方が一緒に海に入ってすぐ側にいて
安心できました。
子供が出来て少し大きくなったので
また参加したのですが
今回は大人の胸ぐらいの高さで
子供は楽しめずでした。
シュノーケルの場所も海は濁っていて
魚はあんまり見えませんでした。
またシュノーケルも以前はスタッフの方が
一緒に海に入って見守ってくれてましたが
船の上から見てるだけでした。
波に流されてコースから外れると結構怖くて、、
以前が安心して参加出来たので
今回参加したのですが
初心者だったり、泳ぎが得意じゃなくても
参加できます!という雰囲気ですが
自然相手なので難しいとは思いますが
個人的には今日はシュノーケルはやらずにいたと思います。結構怖かったので。
いつもより波があるよ今日の海の情報とかがあると
もう少し説明があると良かったと思います。
海に入る前後の
人数確認とかも特にされてなかったので
安全対策とかどうしているのかは謎ででした。
海の経験がそんなにない人にはあまりおすすめできません。。
