Oahu
This is a great experience for the whole family. Snorkeling, SUP, Kayaking and so much more for everyone in the family. Friendly and helpful stuff makes the fun safer and easier.
There was no tour guide, and the driver was unhelpful with questions.
I wanted to ask about how to use the coupon, but I was waved off and refused. Previously, there was a tour guide who accompanied us and provided various information, but now there isn't one.
添乗員がいなく、ドライバーは質問に対して、不親切
クーポンのとり方を聞きたかったが、手を振って、断られ、以前は添乗員が同乗して、色々教えてくれたが、いない
KBOS provided a great well rounded experience. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and really knew what they were doing. Various activities for all types. Would reccomend the bumper tubes and banana boats!
My family had a lovely time together as we looked for a low-key activity in the evening after busy days in the sun. For our session, it was cool to meet at the rooftop tennis courts and not too hard to find. We saw a variety of stars, the moon close-up, and even Saturn. Our group was larger than I expected but anyone could ask questions throughout the experience. I'd love more stories or information to be shared throughout, but again it was an easy, light-hearted, and informative night. Also, we didn't want to commit to one of the long star-gazing activities especially on the other islands because it wouldn't work well with the different ages in our group so this was shorter and manageable.
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars !
Staff was friendly and was an amazing experience. We enjoyed every part of it. Recommend to take nausea medicine if you’re sensitive. 2 of us did get motion sick.
I was looking forward to my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, but it was cloudy and rainy from the morning, which made the water murky and hard to see. The submarine experience was good, but it was disappointing.
久しぶりのハワイで、楽しみにしていましたが、朝から雨で曇っていたせいか、水中が濁っていてよく見えなかった。潜水艦は良かったですが残念です。
We had a fantastic day on our tour. It just so happened that me and my daughter were the only people signed up on the day of our tour. Our guide Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, fun loving and easy going with her knowledge of the island. We started at the Halona blowhole and found out the beach nearby was used in the movie “From Here to Eternity”. Lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill with a smorgasbord of food trucks should be able to satisfy any hunger. The recommendation of Giovanni’s for garlic prawns by Stephanie was spot on, they were delicious.
With great anticipation of seeing turtles on the sand at Haleiwa Beach Park we were slightly disappointed. It was great we were able to see them in the water occasionally bobbing their heads up for air.
The last stop at Dole Plantation was great, it is where we tasted our first Dole Whip which was absolutely delicious.
I would recommend this tour to give you a better idea about the Oahu Island and the different experiences available to you.
Hello Zeljko,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time with Stephanie on the tour. It was lucky that it was just the two of you on the tour. Sorry to hear the disappointment of the sea turtles. They are there sometimes and sometimes there are not. But we are glad to got to see a lot of things on Oahu. We hoped you enjoyed your time in Hawaii and thank you again for your review and booking our tour.
Mahalo

The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.
I had doubt initially and I am glad I did it. It’s easy to book through this site. I booked it a day before the tour and luckily to find a time that was good for my family. The guide has great sense of humor. If you love Hollywood movies and TV shows, it’s a must see. You can also learn a lot about the ranch history. My family enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed every single minute spent on this trip thanks to the entire crew. I really loved the live music and the snorkeling is definitely second to none!
I'm for sure will take this tour the next time I'm back to Oahu.
Pleasant time on the waves in the sun and breeze. Sadly, almost no fish, no turtles, but interesting pink and white sea cucumbers (apparently unique to Kaneohe and Pearl Harbor). Would do it again, but don't need four hours....
Aloha Tim! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review for us. We certainly appreciate that. I'm sorry to hear that most of the marine life (except for the conspicuous sea cucumbers) was a little shy for you. Although there is a lot of marine life out there in Kane'ohe Bay, what you see is always hit or miss and involves being in the right place at the right time. But we certainly hope to see you again soon to get back out there and find some of those sea creatures! And glad to hear other than that it was still overall a good experience. Mahalo!
When I was a child, I watched an American TV drama featuring skydivers and had always dreamed of skydiving. I never thought I would actually get to experience it. When I visited Hawaii over 30 years ago, this activity didn't even exist yet. Since then, there have been more TV programs in Japan introducing this activity, and tandem skydiving airports have opened domestically, but I had always decided that if I were to jump, it would be in the skies of Hawaii. This month, just 10 months before the age limit, I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii and immediately signed up without hesitation. Just before the experience, I felt no anxiety, only excitement. The result? It was simply the best feeling ever! Although my acquaintances and friends are quite astonished by it.
子供の頃、スカイダイバーが活躍するアメリカ製のTVドラマを見て、ずっと憧れていたスカイダイビング。自分が体験出来るとは思ってもいませんでした。以前、ハワイを訪れた時(30年以上前)には、まだ存在しなかったアクティビティでしたし。その後、日本でこのアクティビティを紹介するTV番組も増え、また国内でもタンデムが出来る空港も出来ましたが、やはり飛ぶならハワイの空と決めていました。年齢制限まであと10か月の今月、ハワイに行く機会に恵まれ、迷わず真っ先に申し込みました。体験直前もハラハラドキドキは全く無く、ワクワクが止まらない状態でした。結果はもう、気分最高!の一言。知人、友人には呆れられてはいますが。
My boyfriend and I visited Honolulu for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday. With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)
The awesome crew, live music and activity options for the sandbar make this perfect for solo travelers, couples or even families. Do not hesitate to book!
It was my first sunset cruising experience. I had previously been on a dinner cruise, and since my husband had never been on one, I was thinking of doing a dinner cruise again. However, we decided to try the sunset cruise instead, so we quickly made a reservation.
After checking in, we boarded the ship at the scheduled time. Aside from us, everyone else was foreign tourists, but everyone was enjoying themselves, toasting with Mai Tais as we set sail. The view of Waikiki Beach and the opposite side of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic, as well as the mountains we saw from the activities we experienced during the day. Of course, the setting sun was beautiful.
The background music was from my husband's youth, which also became a wonderful memory.
初めてのサンセットクルージング。
以前ディナークルーズに乗ったことはあり、今回も主人が乗った事がなかったのでディナークルーズにしようと思っていました。
ですが、サンセットクルーズに乗ってみようという事で、早速申し込みました。
受付を済ませ時間になり乗船。
私達以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ楽しみ、マイタイで乾杯しながら出港。
海側から見るワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの反対側。そして昼間体験したアクティビティから見えた山など、すごく良かったです。
もちろん沈みゆく太陽、綺麗でした。
BGMも主人の青春時代の曲で、それも良い思い出になりました。
La prise en charge, l’accueil, le circuit tout était très bien. Le chauffeur nous donnait des renseignements intéressants. Nous avons passé un excellent moment. Seule petit bémol le bus n’était pas très confortable et j’ai quelques petites douleurs au dos. J’ai aussi acheté la photo bien que j’ai trouvé le prix exorbitant. En tout état de cause je conseille cette activité.
The basic English support was available, but there was also a Japanese explanation video for horseback riding, which I watched, so even though it was my first time riding, I quickly understood how to ride.
You wear a helmet while riding. You can leave your luggage in a locker and bring valuables and drinks with you (they lend you a pouch).
I was very satisfied with the experience as I could enjoy the scenery of both mountains and the sea in the great outdoors. The horses were also very well-behaved. It was a bit disappointing that the instructor's explanations about the location were often too far away to hear, but they took several photos for me and sent them to my smartphone. For lunch, I had fish and chips at the café inside Kualoa. It was delicious. I had some concerns after reading reviews that mentioned having too much free time, but I ended up not having enough time as I was busy looking at souvenirs.
基本英語対応ですが、乗馬の際の説明ビデオは日本語もあり、そちらの映像を見せていただいたので初めての乗馬でしたが乗り方はすぐに理解できました。
乗馬の際はヘルメットを被ります。荷物はロッカーに預けて、貴重品と飲み物を持参できます。(ポシェット貸してくれます)
大自然の中で山と海両方の景色が楽しめて大満足です。お馬さんたちもお利口さんでした。インストラクターの場所等の説明が遠くて聞こえないことが多々あったのがちょっと残念でしたが、、、何枚か写真も撮っていただきスマホに送っていただけました。ランチはクアロアの中のカフェでfish and chipsを食べました。美味しかったです。口コミに自由時間は時間を持て余すと書かれていたのを見ていたので不安でしたが、お土産を見たり時間が足りないくらいでした。
We had so much fun!! Everyone was very friendly and the people on our boat group made it extra fun! I just wish it was longer than 3 hrs. My husband and I had a great time snorkeling! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to go to the sandbar! I love that they also allowed us to bring a cooler and drinks!
This was a great experience. The bus came to hotel exactly the time that was indicated. The location was fantastic, sea was calm.
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.
Mahalo for the compliments. Please come back again. Mahalo!
It was a great experience! Thank you to all the staff for your kind and thorough explanations. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance.
良い体験でした!スタッフ の皆んなさんはとても親切丁寧にご説明ありがとうございました。又機会があれば是非ご参加したい。
It is a lot of fun, but make sure you apply sunscreen to every inch of your body to avoid sunburn . Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable
Overall, this experience was awesome! The sandbar was about a 3 mile kayak away from where you dock. Not super difficult, took us about 30-40 minutes to get there and once we did, it was awesome. the tide was a little high, the water went up to just below my neck and I'm 6 feet tall. We went out at 11 am. There's not much to see snorkel-wise at the sandbar, which was relayed to us by the staff setting us up. It was just a nice place to stand in the middle of the ocean and have a snack or two. They were also clear on where go on the sand bar and where the restricted zone was.
After the sandbar we went out to the coral reefs just around the corner of where we started. By then though, the sun wasn't too bright (it was a gloomy-ish day). we could only see maybe 10 feet in front of us in the water and all the fish were either hiding or just not there. Coral was nice to see and swim around though. Saw sea turtles in the distance but none in the water while we were in it. Finding the snorkel zones were actually pretty difficult. We spent about 20-30 minutes finding good spots, but there are no markers out there so I'm not even sure if we were in the spots they marked on the map. Only 2 other kayakers came to this area, tried looking around but all gave up after maybe 5-10 minutes.
Still had fun overall though, would do it again. Hopefully they add markers out of the water next time though.
Aloha Will! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave this review and feedback! Stoked to hear that overall you had a good experience. And I am glad to hear our staff did a good job of describing the details of where to go and where not to go. That is important because you are correct, there aren't really any signs or many markers out there. Sadly we're not permitted to put anything like that out there. Most of the reefs only have very basic reef markers that are installed by the State's Division of Aquatic Resources, and us putting any other signs or markers out there would be strictly prohibited. And certainly the visibility can vary, but I'm glad to hear that overall it sounds like you had a good time. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
My friends and I had such a good time on this catamaran sunset tour! Will definitely use them again!!
We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.
We participated as a family. Of course, the pilot handles the takeoff and landing, but aside from that, you get quite a bit of time to experience flying. My son was at the controls while I was in the back seat just watching, but I was still moved by the amazing views over Oahu. My English isn't fluent, but the pilot spoke English, and since the management is Japanese, they interpreted the instructions before we took off, so there were no issues at all. After the flight, I searched for the flight record using the aircraft number, and it was properly recorded. The pilot promised to send the photos he took, but it seems he forgot, and if it weren't for that, I would have given it five stars.
家族で参加しました。流石に離着陸はパイロットがやってくれますが、それ以外は結構な時間操縦体験できます。息子が操縦で自分は後部座席で見学していただけですが、それでも素晴らしいオアフ上空からの景色に感動しました。英語は流暢ではないのですが、パイロットは英語でも、経営が日本人なので飛ぶ前に注意事項を通訳していただき全く問題なしでした。フライト後、機体No.で検索するとフライト記録がちゃんと残ってました。パイロットが写真を撮ってくれたのを、送ってもらう約束だったのですが、どうやら忘れられてしまったらしく、それがなかったら五つ星でした。
First of all, I was truly impressed by how friendly and kind all the staff members were.
The tour itself was conducted in English by the pilot, but the staff were Japanese. The pilot also explained things in simple English with gestures, so I think even those who are not confident in English can enjoy it fully.
The main experience of piloting the Cessna was truly exhilarating! I believe opportunities to actually pilot a plane are rare in life, and being able to do it in beautiful Hawaii is just fantastic.
It was a memorable tour that made my heart race with the excitement of piloting the Cessna and was also soothing thanks to the warmth of the staff. Thank you for the surprise! I think this is a tour that everyone should definitely experience.
まず最初にスタッフさんが皆さん本当にフレンドリーで優しくて、そのことに感動しました。
このツアー自体パイロットは英語となっていますが、スタッフさんは日本の方でした。パイロットの方も簡単な英語でジェスチャーを交えて説明して下さるので、英語が不安な方でも十分楽しめると思います。
そしてメインのセスナ体験操縦は本当に興奮の連続でした!
実際に操縦を体験できる機会なんて人生にそうそうないと思いますし、なにより景色の良いハワイで操縦できるというのが素晴らしいと思います。
セスナの操縦で心躍り、そしてスタッフさんの温かさに癒される、そんな心に残るツアーでした。
サプライズもありがとうございました!
是非皆さんに体験いただきたいツアーだと思います。
I made a reservation about a week before traveling to the United States, but it seems to be a popular activity, and the desired morning time was fully booked, so I opted for an available afternoon slot. The sand was quite intense, and my whole family ended up covered in sand from head to toe, but we had a great time. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.
渡米1週間前くらいに予約しましたが、人気のあるアクティビティらしく、午前中の希望する時間が空いてなく、午後の空いてる時間にしました。砂煙がすごいため、家族全員、顔から洋服全体が砂まみれになってしまいましたが、とても楽しめました。今度は乗馬してみたいです。
We had a great time snorkeling. We saw many fishes, and 3 turtles!
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you saw many fishes and 3 turtles!
Please come back again. Mahalo!
Really well organized. Fun time with the whole family!
This time, I participated in the afternoon. The reason is that the sandbar can be seen during low tide, and when I checked the time, it turned out that the afternoon was the best time that day. However, the beach did not appear (laughs). It seems that timing is really important, and even during low tide, if the season is different, the beach may not be accessible (what a shame).
However, regardless of that, this tour allows you to enjoy activities as long as time permits. You can play as much as you want with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and beach volleyball! In particular, snorkeling was great because it was at a point where many fish gather around the coral reef, which I think was much better compared to other beaches.
The beach itself is white, so when the water level goes down to a certain extent, you can enjoy activities in a very beautiful place. It was the perfect spot for enjoying the scenery while engaging in activities in the sea!
今回は、午後に参加しました。というのも、サンドバーが見られるのが干潮の時ということで、時間を確認したところ、その日は午後が一番良かったからです。
が、砂浜は現れず笑
というのも、本当にタイミングが大事なようで、干潮のタイミングでも季節が違うと砂浜に上がってというのができないようです。(残念)
しかし、関係なしに、このツアーではアクティビティが時間の許す限り楽しめます。SAP、カヤック、シュノーケリング、ビーチバレーなど遊び放題!特にシュノーケリングはサンゴ礁に魚がたくさん集まるポイントで、これは他のビーチに比べてもとても良かったと思える点です。
砂浜自体は白いので、水位がある程度下がれば、とても綺麗な場所でアクティビティを楽しむことができるので、景色を楽しみつつ、海でのアクティビティには最高の場所でした!
I had previously been taken care of a few times, and this time I requested private lessons for my daughter, who just started elementary school (7 years old)! She was a bit scared at first, but Matt-sensei taught her in a fun way, and before we knew it, she was doing nice rides multiple times! Despite being scared and cold, it seems she had a great time.
I was also able to ride a few times nearby with a board I rented separately, which became a wonderful memory.
Since they incorporate some Japanese while standing, I think even those who can't communicate in English can enjoy it enough. I want to go to Hawaii again soon; thank you for your help next time as well!
私が以前数回お世話になっており、今回は小学校に上がった娘(7歳)のプライベートレッスンをお願いしました!
少し怖がったりもしていましたが、マット先生が楽しく教えてくれて、気づけば何度もナイスライドをしていました!こわい&寒いなりに楽しかったようです。
私も別途借りていたボードで近くで何本か乗ることができとても良い思い出になりました。
立ってなどは日本語も交えてくれるので、英語だコミュニケーション取れない方でも十分楽しめるかなと思います。
もうまたすぐハワイに行きたいです、次回もよろしくお願いします!
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for sharing your 5-star rating and your child's lesson experience. I'm glad to hear it became a wonderful memory! We look forward to the next opportunity!
あんどれあ様:
5つ星のレイティングとお子様のレッスン体験をシェアして頂き、有難うございました。とても良い思い出になったと聞きとても良かったです!またの機会をお待ちしております!
