Oahu
It was a relatively large water park that you can't experience in Japan. Since it was a weekday in mid-October, there were fewer visitors compared to peak times, and we could enjoy almost all the attractions without much waiting. I had a great time reliving my childhood with thrilling drop slides that felt like zero gravity and wave pools. Due to the season, about a quarter of the attractions were closed, but we still had fun! The bodyboarding was the most enjoyable, so I recommend the bodyboard package.
There is a bag check at the entrance. I believe I was informed that one unopened plastic bottle is allowed (though I think locals brought water bottles, but I don't remember the details). Inflatable rings are not allowed, but there are plenty available inside the park, so there's no need to worry. The coin laundry costs $13 (small) and $18 (medium), and we chose the medium for two people. While card payments are accepted, many people experienced errors, so it might be safer to have cash on hand. You can access the lockers as many times as you want throughout the day. There are showers and changing rooms near the lockers, but the water is not hot, so it can be a bit chilly.
There were about five food and drink sales points, but on that day, there was only one staff member serving, which caused a line during lunchtime. Since I was wearing a tour wristband, I wasn't asked to show a copy of my passport when paying by credit card.
The park is located near the highway, so you can't access it without a car. If you're not on a bus tour, you would need to take a public bus and then use Uber (about a 5-minute ride) to get to the park, or rent a car. Unlike public buses, a tour bus allows you to sleep comfortably on the way back, so I recommend the bus tour. Additionally, the Japanese female tour guide was very kind, making it a reassuring experience. She even took some photos for us.
日本では経験できない比較的大規模なウォーターパークでした。10月中旬の平日であったせいか、ピーク時と比べると利用者は少めであり、どのアトラクションも殆ど並ぶことなく利用できました。無重力空間を体験できるような急降下スライダーや波のプールなど、童心に帰り楽しむことができました。時期的なこともあり1/4くらいは休止中でしたが、それでも楽しめました!ボディボードが一番楽しかったので、ボディーボード付きプランをおすすめします。
エントランスで荷物チェックがあります。未開封のペットボトル1本は持ち込み可能と説明を受けた気がします(地元の人は水筒を持参していたような気がしますが、詳しく覚えていません)。浮き輪などは持ち込み不可です。園内にうきわはたくさんありますので、心配ありません。コインランドリーは13ドル(小)、18ドル(中)があり、二人で(中)を選択しました。カード対応ですがエラーになっている方も多かったので、現金をもっていた方が安心かもしれません。出し入れは終日何度でも可能です。ロッカーの近くにシャワーと更衣室があります。お湯は出ないので、少し肌寒いです。
フードやドリンクの販売窓口は5個くらいあったのですが、当日はスタッフが1名で対応しており、昼食時は列ができていました。ツアーのリストバンドを付けていたせいか、クレジット決済時にパスポートのコピーの提示は求められませんでした。
本パークは高速道路の近くに位置しているので、車以外では入れません。バスツアー以外ですと、パーク近隣まで公共バス+歩行禁止区域を5ウーバーで移動(5分程度)またはレンタカーを使用することになると思います。公共バスと違い、ツアーバスであれば帰路で熟睡できるメリットもありますので、バスツアーがお勧めです。また、日本人女性の添乗員さんがとても親切で、安心して過ごすことができました。お写真も撮ってくださいました。
The pick-up and drop-off times were on schedule. The crew mostly spoke English and had little understanding of Japanese, but they were cheerful and provided very good service. I was unable to see any dolphins.
送迎の時間などは定刻通りでした。クルーの皆さんはほぼ英語で日本語はほとんど通じませんでしたが、にこやかでとても良い対応をしてもらいました。
イルカを見ることは出来ませんでした。
The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold, but I was glad to encounter a sea turtle. It was my first time snorkeling, and my 10-year-old son was also happy.
There are several staff members who speak Japanese, and they provide explanations in Japanese as well. About 80% of the tourists are Japanese.
There are no changing rooms, so we went in our swimsuits and wiped off our wet bodies before getting on the bus for the return trip. Some people were changing in the restroom, but there are only three stalls, so it gets crowded. It might be tough for those who are not good with the cold.
水温がやや低く、寒かったですが、ウミガメとも遭遇できて良かったです。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、10歳の息子も喜んでいました。
スタッフには、日本語を話せる人が数名居て、説明は日本語でもしてくれますし、8割は日本人観光客です。
着替える場所は無いので、水着着用で行き、帰りは濡れた体を拭いてそのままバスに乗りました。トイレで着替えている方も居ましたが、3つしか無いので混みます。寒いのが苦手な人にはつらいかもしれません。
Aloha!

お着替えに関しまして、ご意見をいただき誠にありがとうございます。シュノーケリング等のアクティビティ終了後にボート上で着替えていただくことをお勧めするなど、改善策を検討していきたいと思います。
またの機会にぜひお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。Mahalo!
The owner couple from Kansai warmly welcomed us and we had a pleasant ride to the airport.
After arriving at the airport, we received explanations in Japanese at the office! No problem if you can't speak English!
Now, onto the flight.
The 60-minute flight went by in no time. Although the announcements were in English, they introduced famous spots as we flew over them, and I was able to understand with simple words.
This is definitely an experience you should have!
関西出身のオーナーご夫婦がホテルへのお迎えで、車中は和気藹々と空港まで来れました。
空港到着後、事務所で日本語の説明を受けました!
英語が話せなくても問題なし!
いざフライトへ。
60分のフライトはあっという間で、フライト中は英語でしたが、有名スポットが見えてくると紹介してくれ、簡単なワードで理解出来ました。
これは是非とも体験しておいて欲しいです!
The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.
I had a wonderful experience riding a Segway while enjoying the scenery at Kaka'ako and Magic Island, with fun explanations from our guide.
セグウェイに乗ってカカアコやマジックアイランドなど、ゆっくり景色を見ながら、楽しいガイドさんの説明などで楽しい思いを体験しました。
The reception is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. When I showed my voucher, I was guided right away. The seating was at long tables, and since I attended with one other person, we shared a table with a couple.
There was a bit of time before the start, and staff members were going around for photo opportunities, which could also be purchased afterward. A Mai Tai was served as a welcome drink. The staff asked if we wanted alcohol, but the person next to me seemed to have trouble understanding English, which caused quite a delay as they had to call a Japanese staff member for assistance.
The meal was served buffet-style, and we took turns getting our food. The hot dishes were served warm, and they even cut the roast beef right there for us. The chocolate cake for dessert was delicious, and I was very satisfied.
During the meal, we were able to see hula dancing, and there were also experience corners. After finishing the meal, we moved to watch the show. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket is a must.
The show included hula dancing, Elvis and Michael look-alikes, and fire dancing, making for a packed experience that lasted about three and a half hours when combined with the meal. I think the price is a great deal for such a substantial meal and an impressive show.
受付はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。バウチャーを見せるとすぐに案内して頂けました。席は長机で、わたしは2名で参加したのですが、カップルさんと相席となりました。
スタートまで少し時間があり、写真撮影のスタッフさんが周っています。その後購入も可能です。
ウェルカムドリンクとしてマイタイが提供されます。アルコールありかなしか、とスタッフさんが聞いてくれますが、お隣の方は英語が聞き取れなかったようで、このやりとりだけで日本人スタッフを呼んできてもらったりとかなり時間がかかっていました^^;お食事はビュッフェスタイルで順番に取っていきます。お料理は温かいものは温かく、その場でローストビーフをカットしてくれたり、デザートのチョコレートケーキもおいしく、大満足です。
途中でフラダンスが見れたり、体験コーナーもあります。
お食事が終わったら移動してショーを観ます。かなり冷房が効いてるので上着必須です。
フラダンスからエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさん、ファイヤーダンスとかなり盛りだくさんでお食事と合わせると3時間半ほどかかります。
お食事と、こんなにしっかりとしたショーが観れてこの価格はお値打ちだと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. 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オリジナル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、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。
Loved the thought process here, but overall, kind of crowded. Our waiter had too many tables or he was just slow. Not sure. Food was ok, didn’t go home hungry. Music was great and the final show was awesome.
You can choose a non-alcoholic Mai Tai, which is great for those who are sensitive to alcohol. The dinner buffet is served in order, so it's reassuring. The meat is a bit tough, but it was very delicious. You can go back for dessert later, so be careful not to overeat. There was also ice cream, fruit, and cake. The show includes not only Hawaiian music but also popular songs, so I think anyone can enjoy it. I recommend it if you want to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.
マイタイは、アルコール無しも選ぶことが出来て、お酒に弱い人にも大丈夫でした。
ディナーのビュッフェは順番に案内してくれるので安心。
お肉は、ちょっと硬めですが、味はとってもおいしかったです。
デザートがあとでまた取りに行けるので食事の取りすぎ注意です。
アイスクリームもフルーツ、ケーキがありました。
ショーはハワイアンだけでなくメジャーな歌も盛り込まれていて誰でも楽しめると思う。
ハワイ気分を堪能したいならおすすめです。

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.
There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...
Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.
Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
概要:
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。
そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ!と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網?の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…
感想:
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。
もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。
I learned about canoe surfing about five years ago and wanted to try it. Finally, it was available in Hawaii, so I went!
I arrived early at the meeting point, checked in, and within a few minutes, the staff came to explain about the canoe. Then we were off! Riding the waves with the wind in my face was absolutely amazing!
It wasn't just a one-time experience; it was an activity that made me want to do it again!
5年位前に知って、やってみたかったカヌーサーフィン
やっと、ハワイ解禁、行ってきました!
早めに集合場所に着いて、チェックインすると数分で
スタッフが来て、カヌーでの説明をして、いざ!
風をきって波に乗って・・・最高に気持ち良かった♪
1回体験すればいいや・・・ではなく、また、やりたいなぁと
思うようなアクティビティでした
Thank you for the 5-star review! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the outrigger canoe surfing! Next time, please try the 1-hour canoe charter! You can ride the waves as many times as you want during that hour. Mahalo Nui Loa!
きょぼ様:
5つ星の口コミ有難うございます!アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンを楽しんで頂けたようで何よりです!次回は1時間のカヌーチャーターをトライしてみて下さい!1時間の間に何度でも波に乗れます。マハロヌイロア!
I encountered many sea turtles. The weather was nice, but the tide was a bit high (I participated with this understanding in advance), so it didn't go as smoothly as in the photos, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in the clear sea. We were able to take a leisurely break on the boat, and there were drink services, which matched our pace nicely. Above all, the guides were kind and wonderful!
たくさんのウミガメに出会えました。
お天気は良かったのですが潮位が高めで(事前に理解の上で参加)写真のようにはいきませんでしたが、透明な海でサップ、シュノーケリングを楽しめました。
船でゆっくり休憩もできて飲み物などのサービスもあり私達のペースに寄り添っていただいたのがよかったです。何よりガイドの方々が親切で素敵でした!
Aloha!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heaven on Earth Tour.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review despite your busy schedule.
The high encounter rate with sea turtles is one of the great attractions of our sandbar tours.
We aim for our tours to become one of the wonderful memories of your trip to Hawaii, so we are very pleased to hear that you felt we "accompanied you at your own pace."
We are constantly improving to ensure that everyone can enjoy snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding safely, and to provide a comfortable experience during the tour, so please come back again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
A hui hou!
アロハ!
この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
お忙しいところ、レビューをお寄せいただきありがとうございます。
ウミガメとの遭遇率の高さは、サンドバーツアーの大きな魅力の一つです。
私共のツアーが皆様のハワイ旅行の良い思い出の一つとなることを目指しておりますので、「私達のペースに寄り添っていただいた」とおっしゃっていただけたことに、とても嬉しく思います。
皆さまが安心してシュノーケリングやSUPを楽しめるよう、またツアー中はゆっくり快適にお過ごしいただけるよう常に改善しておりますので、どうぞまたお越しください。
スタッフ一同、心からお待ちしております。
A hui hou!
I paid for the VIP package for a group of 6 people and everything went pretty smoothly from checking in to being seated at our table. Everything was pretty efficient from getting our meals to seeing the show. My only issue of concern was that I paid for the additional drink and we were not able to use them. We were told that there would be an opportunity to use them during the show but no one told us we had to get them before the show started because there would not be an intermission or an opportunity afterwards. The waiters need to clearly state that if you don't get your drink during your meal, you need to be sure to get it before heading into the show because you won't get the opportunity otherwise. The show was amazing from the MC, Elvis, to Michael Jackson! The dancers and band did a great job as well!
We participated as a pair this time, and since there were only the two of us, it felt like a private tour. A group that left a little earlier had about eight participants, so we were lucky! The instructions for handling the bikes were available in Japanese, but the guide spoke everything in English. However, the guide was kind, and since it was just the two of us, we were able to enjoy the tour at a relaxed pace! I don't fully understand all the movies, so the guide explained a lot about the origin of the name Kualoa, but I couldn't catch some parts... tears. The scenery is, of course, breathtaking and beyond imagination. However, be careful when riding on the sand as it can be slippery. I noticed a member of another team we passed had fallen and scraped their knee, but the guide had disinfectant on hand to treat them right away, so I think they were okay as long as it wasn't a serious injury.
今回2人で参加しましたが、私達2人しかいなかった為ほプライベートツアーに近い状態でした。
少し前に出発したグループは8人程度の参加者がいたのでラッキーでした!
バイク取扱に関する説明は日本語で見る事が出来ますがガイドさんはもちろん全て英語です。
しかしガイドさんが親切で私達2人だった事もあり、ゆっくりのんびりとツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました!当方映画が全て理解出来る訳ではないのでクアロアの名前の由来など凄くたくさん説明してくれましたが一部聞き取れず…涙
景色はもちろん、想像を超えた絶景です。
しかし、砂の上を走る際は滑りやすいので注意が必要です。途中すれ違った違うチームの方は転けてしまったのか膝が擦りむいてしまっていましたがガイドさんが持っている消毒液ですぐに手当してもらっていたので大きな怪我でなければ大丈夫かと思います。
Cute small sailboat! Not too windy the day we went but still good ride! They had friends on board so they stopped and let anyone swim! I was bummed I wasn’t prepared for that cause I love the water! People in charger were nice and friendly! Thank you!
I wanted to go to Kailua Beach, but I participated in a tour due to concerns about the time it would take to get there and the unfamiliar transportation. The pickup service to a nearby hotel was very helpful. The driver spoke in English, but I felt reassured as many of the other participants were Japanese. Additionally, there was a Japanese female staff member who provided explanations in Japanese beforehand, which was great! (I think it's important to note that she may not always be available.) The other staff members were locals, but they could speak some simple Japanese and told us about the fish and sea turtles, which was fun as they spoke to us in Kansai dialect. Even with the basic plan, there were three options: SUP, snorkeling, and boards, and rotating among them turned out to be just the right amount of time, so I was satisfied.
カイルアビーチに行きたかったのですが、移動に時間がかかってしまうことや慣れない交通機関が不安だったりことからツアーに参加しました。近くのホテルまで送迎がありとても助かりました。運転手は英語で話していましたが、他の参加者は日本人が多かったので安心しました。また、1人日本の女性スタッフがいて、事前に日本語で説明してくれたのが良かったです!(常にいるとは限らないと思うので注意が必要です)他のスタッフさんは現地の方々ばかりでしたが、簡単な日本語は話せて、魚や海亀がいると教えてくれたり、関西弁で話しかけてくれて楽しかったです。基本のプランでもsup.シュノーケリング.ボードと3種類あり、交代交代で使うと意外と時間も丁度良かったので、満足できました。
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
ツアー楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。ご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time experiencing a full-fledged dance and dinner show. I think the concept was "traditional Hawaiian cuisine," so I can't honestly say it was "delicious," but it was a good experience.
I had allergies, so I contacted the address listed on the website in advance, but I received no reply. Even after sending a reminder, I still got no response. However, on the day of the event, when I mentioned, "I have allergies," they responded with something like, "I know, leave it to me!" and brought out dishes that accommodated my allergies. To be honest, I would have appreciated a reply if they had seen my email.
Also, it was disappointing that the scallop dish turned into a salad mainly consisting of baby greens (and without any dressing at all), which felt like a significant downgrade in the menu.
That said, the show itself, including the dance, was wonderful, and I was glad I paid a little extra to secure seats closer to the front! (The venue is quite large, and if you're at the very back, you're pretty far from the stage.)
After the show ended and we finished our meal, we left, but there were others taking photos with the dancers, so I think it's a good idea to speak up if you want to take pictures.
4回目のハワイ旅行でしたが、本格的なダンス&ディナーショーは初めてでした。料理は「ハワイの伝統料理」がコンセプトだったと思うので「おいしい」とは正直言えない感じでしたが・・いい経験になりました。
アレルギーがあったので事前にHPに載っていたアドレスに連絡するも返信なし、リマインドするも返信なしでしたが、当日「アレルギーがあるんだけど」と伝えたら「知ってるよ、任せて!」みたいに言われて、アレルギー対応された料理が運ばれてきました。メール見たなら返信欲しかった、というのが正直なところでした。
そして、ホタテがベビーリーフメインのサラダ(しかもドレッシング等いっさいかかっていない)になるなど、かなりランクダウンなメニューになってしまったのも残念でした。
ただ、ダンス含め、ショー自体はすばらしく、数千円上乗せして前の席を確保してよかったと思いました!(結構会場は広く1番後ろだとステージから結構遠いので)
ショーも終わり、料理も食べ終えたところで私たちは帰ったのですが、ダンサーさんたちと写真を撮ってる方もいたので、撮りたい方は声をかけてみるといいと思います。
Since it was early in the morning, the weather was clear, and the water was beautiful, I was able to see various types of fish. Four years ago, I encountered sea turtles and seals in the same spot, but unfortunately, I didn't see them this time.
However, the couple who guided us were great; the husband spoke Japanese well and pointed out interesting fish, saying things like, "Look, there's ●●!" which made it really enjoyable. At one point, when some participants got tired, the wife went back to the shore with them, and when I got too caught up in taking photos and was left behind, they noticed and helped me catch up. Their consideration for everyone to have a good time was very much appreciated.
During the car ride to and from the location, they shared a lot of information, which was really fun.
I tried to take photos with my Google Pixel 7 Pro in a waterproof case, but about 80% of them turned out blurry, so I regretted not bringing my GoPro. However, the guide uploaded some photos to Facebook, which I was able to download for free! I felt grateful to have beautiful photos capturing the scenes I experienced.
朝イチだったこともあり、晴れていて海の中もきれいで色んな種類の魚に会えました。4年前には同じ場所でウミガメやアザラシにも会えたのですが、今回は会えずでしたが・・。
でも、ご夫婦でガイドをされていて、旦那さんも日本語が上手で、面白い魚がいると「●●がいるよー」と声をかけてくれてとっても楽しめました。途中で疲れた方は奥様と一緒に先に岸に戻って・・といったことや、撮影に夢中になってみんなに置いてかれている私を見つけて引っ張って行ってくれたりと、参加者みんなが楽しめるような気遣いもとっても感じました。
行き帰りの車の中でもいろんな情報を教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。
Google Pixel 7Proを防水スマホケースに入れて撮影を試みましたが、8割がたピンボケしていたのでやっぱりGoPro持っていけばよかったと思いました。ただ、ガイドさんが撮影した写真をいくつかFacebookに上げてくれているので、それをDLさせていただきました(無料です)!自分がみた光景をきれいな写真に残せている気分でありがたかったです。
I don't watch movies very often, so I didn't feel much excitement about "this is the filming location of that movie," but the scenery was beautiful, and it was fun and pleasant to drive at our own pace!
We were all geared up with goggles, helmets, and neck guards (for masks?), but a lot of sand got into little gaps and our ears, making us quite dirty, almost like our eyebrows were connected (laughs).
There were some places, especially on my face, where the dirt didn't come off even after washing with water or wiping with wet tissues, so if you have plans after the activity, I think it's better to go with some extra time to wash your face and redo your makeup. I knew my clothes would get dirty, so I brought a change of clothes and ended up throwing away what I was wearing (the dirt seemed like it could be washed out normally though).
Considering the downside of getting dirty, the enjoyment outweighed it, so I think everyone should try it at least once!
映画はあまり見ないので「ここがあの映画のロケ地なんだ」という感動はあまり感じられませんでしたが、景色もいいし、運転も自分たちである程度緩急つけられて楽しかったし気持ちよかったです!
ゴーグル・ヘルメット・マスクがわりのネックガード(?)すべて装着して乗っていましたが、ちょっとした隙間や耳の穴などに砂がたくさん入ってきてかなり汚れて眉毛がつながったみたいになりました(笑)
水で洗ったりウェットティッシュで拭いたりしても落ちないところ(特に顔)があったので、アクティビティの後も予定を入れている場合は、時間に余裕をもって行って、洗顔してメイクし直した方がいいなと思いました。
服が汚れるのはわかっていたので、着替えを持って行って、来ていた服は捨てました(ふつうに洗濯すれば落ちそうな汚れでしたが・・)。
汚れるデメリットを鑑みても楽しめた方が上回ったので、1回は体験してみてほしいなと思いました!
Our Movie Sites Tour driver was fun, knowledgeable and just a cool guy. The checkout lady at Auntie Pat’s Cafe was so friendly and funny. The whole day from pick-up to drop-off went so smoothly. We originally booked without transportation as we were going to rent a car but latter changed and added transportation. Kualoa staff are so professional. Highly recommend any tour there.
We were a tarty of 4 (two couple) from California:
1. Overall impression is okay but not great because the steak was served cold and chewy.
2. Dancing activities are great!
There is a bit of a wait from when you are seated until you can go get your food. However, I didn't feel that the meal time was insufficient, so I don't think it's a big issue. The food was not only plentiful but also delicious, with flavors that are easy for Japanese people to enjoy. The roast beef, in particular, was excellent. The hula performances and lessons during the meal were also fun. And the show exceeded my expectations! The dancers were sharp, and before I knew it, we were at the finale. I'm glad I participated.
席についてから料理を取りに行けるまで、待ち時間がそれなりにあります。
でも、食事の時間が足りないとは感じなかったので、それほど問題ではないと思います。
食事は量はもちろん、味も日本人が食べやすい味で美味しかったです。特にローストビーフが美味しかったです。
食事中のフラ演技やフラレッスンも楽しかったです。
そしてショーは想像以上でした!!踊りは皆さんキレキレであっという間にフィナーレでした。
参加して良かったと思いました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflor VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the meal and the entertainment. 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&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お食事そして、エンターテインメントも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。
This time I was with my 3.5-year-old, and thanks to the flippers, they were able to swim smoothly! The kids said this trip was the most fun they've ever had, and it seems they really enjoyed jumping off the boat. The hamburger was hearty with a strong meat flavor, large, satisfying, and delicious—I was very pleased! The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the kids loved the warm cocoa after coming out of the sea. The staff were all wonderful, and the beach volleyball and conversations were fantastic. Thank you so much!!!!
今回小学3.5年と一緒でしたが、足ビレがあるおかげでスイスイ泳げていました!子供達は今回の旅で一番楽しかったと言っていて、船からの飛び込みも楽しかったようです。ハンバーガーはミート感がしっかりあって、大きく食べ応えがあり美味しくて大満足です!!ドリンクも飲み放題で、子供たちは海から上がった後のあったかいココアがお気に入りでした。スタッフさん達も皆さん素敵な方ばかりでビーチバレーにトークもサイコーでした。本当にありがとうございました!!!!
Due to the seasonal factors, the water volume of the waterfall was low, which was a bit disappointing. When I visited before, the water was so forceful that it splashed, so it might be better to go during the rainy season. On the way back, as expected, I slipped and fell on the muddy path, but by the way, I am 68 years old. I was able to climb even at this age!
季節的な事もあり滝の水量が少なくちょっと残念でした。以前行った時は水飛沫がかかる位の勢いだったので雨季に行くと良いのかも、帰り道は案の定ぬかるみの道で滑って転んでしまいましたが、因みに私は68歳です。
この年でも登れましたよー
I experienced ziplining for the first time, and three enthusiastic staff members supported me. At first, I was scared because I have a fear of heights, but once I tried it, I had a lot of fun and felt a sense of exhilaration. I want to come back again! ♪
初めでジップラインを経験しました、3人のノリノリスタッフがサポートしてくれました。最初は高所恐怖症だったので怖かったですが、いざ体験すると楽しくて爽快感を体験することが出来ました。また来たいです♪
I arrived at the location an hour early, but I passed by because the gate was already open. I was late, but I was kindly allowed to join the next group. Thank you very much.
1時間早く着くように現地へ行ったけど、ゲートが開放されてたため通り過ぎてしまいました。時間に遅れたけど、親切に次の組みに入れて頂きました。ありがとうございました。
I participated in many tours in Hawaii, but the one I enjoyed the most was this tour. The crystal-clear surface of the ocean was breathtaking.
It was also a good decision to go during low tide as much as possible.
ハワイでたくさんツアーの参加しましたが、
一番参加してよかったのがこのツアー。
透き通る見事な海面は絶景でした。
なるべく干潮のときを狙って行ったのも正解でした。
Aloha!
Thank you very much for participating in Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are also incredibly grateful to hear you say, "This was the best tour I participated in."
We are delighted that you were able to witness such breathtaking beauty this time.
Kaneohe Bay experiences changing weather throughout the day, with sunshine, clouds, and sudden rain. Each time, you can see a different kind of beauty, which is quite fascinating.
Please come again. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your return.
A hui hou.
アロハ!
この度はキャプテンブルースの天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。また、「一番参加してよかったのがこのツアー」とおっしゃっていただけたこと、最高にありがたく存じます。
今回は最高の美しさをご覧いただくことができ私共も嬉しく思います。
カネオヘ湾は晴れたり曇ったり、急に雨が降ったりと一日の中で刻々と天候が変わります。
そのたびにまた違う美しさをご覧いただけるのも興味深いところです。
またどうぞお越しください。スタッフ一同心からお待ちしております。
A hui hou
It was amazing to spend time with them in nature! I was so happy! I have experience with horses, but it was my foreign husband's first time, and he said he had a lot of fun. I want to go again!
自然の中で彼らと過ごせて最高に!幸せでした!
私は馬歴はありますが外国人旦那さんは初めての体験でしたが
とっても楽しかったそうです。また行きたいなー
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the beach walk with the horses. It’s great to know that your husband also had a wonderful first experience. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用頂き、ありがとうございました。馬との海辺散歩、お楽しみ頂けて良かったです。旦那様も初体験をお楽しみ頂けたとの事。また、ハワイにお越しの際はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用下さいませ。スタッフ一同お待ちしております。
I've been to Kualoa several times, but this time I participated in a beginner-level mountain biking event with friends! I was worried since I don't usually ride a bike, but it was only at the beginning that I felt unaccustomed. By the time we turned back, I was getting used to the speed and wanted to ride even more! The instructor was fantastic! They were very responsive and kind, even when there was a gear issue along the way. Surrounded by magnificent scenery, mountain biking became an incredibly fun memory! I definitely want to participate again! Next time, I want to challenge myself at the intermediate level!
クアロアへは何度か行ったことがありますが、今回は友人とマウンテンバイク初心レベルに初参加しました!
普段自転車も乗っていないので心配でしたが、乗り慣れずは…最初だけ。折り返しの道のりでは、スピードにも慣れてもっと乗りたい気分でした!
インストラクターの方もサービス満点!
ナイスロケーションでのショットや途中でギアが外れてしまうトラブルにも敏速に親切な対応^_^
壮大な素晴らしい景色に囲まれてマウンテンバイクは最高に楽しい思い出となりました!
また是非、参加したいです^_^
次回は中級レベルに挑戦したいなー(^。^)
Highly recommend this tour! Awesome staff and best experience during our vacation in Oahu!
Aloha and thank you so much for your feedback. Very pleased to hear the you had a great time at the sandbar. Mahalo for your support and looking forward to seeing you again !!
