All Reviews for Dole Pineapple Plantation

The tour had almost no Japanese participants, and the guidance was in English. However, if you understand English to some extent, it's totally fine! The North Shore was great with its relaxed atmosphere and nature, unlike Waikiki! The guide was friendly and engaged with us, taking photos as well! It can be difficult to get to places other than the North Shore on your own, so I think it's good to go on a tour like this.

ツアーの参加者は日本人ほぼいないツアーでした、
案内についても英語での案内ですが、英語がある程度わかるのであれば全然大丈夫です！
ノースショアはワイキキと違ってのんびりとした空気と自然があり良かったです！
ガイドの人もこちらに対して気さくに話しかけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたりしてくれました！
ノースショア以外は自分で行こうとすると難しいところになるのでこう言うツアーで行くのが良いかと

I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.

ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく１日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。

You can efficiently spend your day starting with the sunrise at Diamond Head. Also, the view of Honolulu from Diamond Head is amazing. If you're in Honolulu, be sure to participate!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの朝日から効率よく１日が過ごせます。
また、ダイヤモンドヘッドから見るホノルルは最高です。ホノルルに来たのなら是非参加してください

The tour description is of course entirely in English, but it's fun! 🙋 We all got to say the names of the places we passed through in the local language, and our driver and tour guide, Malore, was kind and spoke to us in broken Japanese, which was reassuring. 🎵 During our free time in Haleiwa, we were able to try different garlic shrimp! ‼️ It's a whirlwind tour, but we fully enjoyed Hawaii in one go! 🙌 I highly recommend it! 🙌

ツアーの説明はもちろん全文英語ですが楽しいです🙋ツアーでの通過地域の地名を現地語で参加者全員で言ったりドライバー兼ツアコンのマロレーさんが親切で片言の日本語で話しかけてくれますし安心です🎵ハレイワでの自由行動ではガーリックシュリンプの食べ比べが出来ました‼️弾丸ツアーですが一気にハワイ満喫です🙌お薦めです🙌

The Dole Plantation tour was great, allowing us to efficiently visit Haleiwa. The guide shared various information on the bus, providing insights into Dole's history and recommended spots in Haleiwa before we arrived. I don't understand much English, but I was able to understand everything well enough using a translation app on my smartphone.

The Dole pineapple soft serve was rich in flavor and delicious. Although the price is a bit higher, I recommend the soft serve with pineapple topping.

ドールプランテーション、ハレイワ観光と効率よく回ることができ、良いツアーでした。バス内でガイドさんが色々な情報を話してくださり、ドールの歴史やハレイワのおすすめスポットなど到着前に情報インプットができました。英語はあまりわかりませんが、スマホの翻訳アプリを使えば、十分理解することができました。
ドールのパイナップルソフトは味が濃厚で美味しかったです。価格は少々プラスになりますが、パイナップルトッピングのソフトをお勧めします。

I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!

This tour was absolutely amazing and our driver Pattrick was the best part! He was so polite, friendly and made us feel like in home! We loved him! Thank you Pattrick!!!

They came to pick us up near the hotel as scheduled. There were four groups on the bus, and we were the only Japanese. During the ride, the driver shared information about Hawaii's history in English.

After arriving at Dole, we had malasadas and mineral water for breakfast. The driver also explained how to buy tickets and recommended some food options.

After the Dole experience, we went to the North Shore. Although we couldn't go to the famous sign, the driver introduced us to well-known spots before parking, and then we had free time. We could stop by Matsumoto Shave Ice, garlic shrimp, Patagonia, and more.

On the way back, we visited famous spots around Waikiki, such as King Kamehameha, while the driver provided commentary as we headed toward Waikiki. It was nice to be able to give a tip comfortably.

予定通りホテル近くに迎えに来てくれました。バスの中には４組、日本人は私たちだけでした。道中は運転手の方が英語でハワイの歴史について教えてくれます。
ドール到着後は、朝ごはんとしてマラサダとミネラルウォーターをいただきました。
チケットの買い方やおすすめのフードも運転手さんが教えてくれます。
ドール体験後は、ノースショアに行きました。有名な看板へは行けないですが、運転手さんが駐車場に停める前に有名どころを紹介してくれ、以降は自由行動。マツモトシェーブアイスやガーリックシュリンプ、パタゴニアなどに立ち寄ることができます。
帰りには、カメハメハ大王などワイキキ周辺の有名スポットに立ち寄り、車内から解説しながらワイキキに向かってくれました。気持ちよくチップもお渡しすることができました。

This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. There were about 20 participants, mostly from English-speaking countries, and many appeared to be older. At the meeting point, there were several tours departing for the same destination at the same time, so it was necessary to look for the bus I was supposed to board.

The explanations and guidance during the tour were only in English. However, the guide, Marlon, could also speak Japanese and often reached out to us. It was possible to ask simple questions individually.

The public restroom at the photo stop was not very clean, so I recommend using the bus restroom instead. The time spent at Byodoin Temple, the macadamia shop, and the Dole Plantation was just right. In North Shore, I was aiming for the Patagonia and Snoopy shops, as well as Matsumoto Shave Ice. The lunch portion was quite large, which took some time to eat, so we had to hurry a bit, but we managed to see everything. I recommend checking in advance the crowd levels and portion sizes for lunch. It was okay to eat Matsumoto Shave Ice on the bus as long as it didn't spill from the container, so I bought it at the end and finished it on the bus. The wait time was about 10 minutes.

The view from the bus window was very beautiful, offering a different landscape from Honolulu.

新婚旅行で参加しました。
参加者は20人ほど、私達以外は英語圏の方がほとんどで、高齢の方が多かった印象です。集合場所に同時刻発で同じ目的地のツアーが次々来ていたので自分が乗るバスを探す必要があります。
ツアー中の説明及びガイドは英語のみです。ただ、ガイドのMarlonさんは日本語も話せるので、よく声をかけてくださりました。個別に簡単な質問をすることは可能です。
途中の写真撮影スポットで停車した所の公衆トイレはあまりキレイではなかったのでバスのお手洗いを使用される方が良いかと思います。
平等院、マカダミアのショップやドールプランテーションは程良い滞在時間でした。ノースショアではパタゴニアとスヌーピーのショップ、マツモトシェイブアイスが目当てでした。お昼ご飯の量が多かったため食べるのに時間が掛かってしまい、少し急ぎめにはなりましたが、回り切ることができました。お昼ご飯は混み具合や提供される量を予め下調べしておくのがお勧めです。マツモトシェイブアイスは、器からこぼれない程度なら車内で食べても大丈夫とのことで、最後に購入して残りを車内で食べました。大体10分程度の待ち時間でした。
車窓からの眺めもとてもキレイでホノルルとは違った風景が楽しめました。

Our guide Lola was very friendly, and it was the best tour! Since it was an English-only tour, we were a bit worried about our ability to keep up with just everyday conversation. However, Lola, although she hardly spoke any Japanese, spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy to understand, and we had a great conversation.

She also guided us through the buildings and areas along the way, which was fun.

I thought Dole might be somewhat underwhelming, but it was actually very spacious and we enjoyed it a lot. The souvenir section is really large. Haleiwa had a completely different atmosphere from Waikiki, which was refreshing. There were so many places to eat that it was hard to choose, but the garlic shrimp was very delicious. We gave up on the long lines for shave ice and huli huli chicken. Instead, we went to Ali Beach and were thrilled to encounter a honu drying its shell!

ガイドのLolaがとても良く接してくれて、最高のツアーでした！
英語のみのツアーということで、日常会話程度ならなんとか…というレベルの我々は大丈夫かなと少し心配しながら参加しました。
しかし、確かにLolaは日本語はほとんど喋れないものの、ゆっくり聞き取りやすく話してくれて、会話も弾みました。
また、道中の建物やエリアなどもガイドしてくれて楽しかったです。

ドールは、なんとなくショボいのかなと思っていましたが、とても広く十分楽しめました。
お土産コーナーがすごく広いです。
ハレイワは、ワイキキとは全く違う雰囲気で新鮮でした。
食べる所が多く選ぶのに困りましたが、ガーリックシュリンプとても美味しかったです。
シェイブアイス、フリフリチキンは列が長かったので断念。
代わりにアリビーチまで行ってみたところ、甲羅乾かしているホヌに出会えて感動しました！

Lola was an awesome driver & host. We had & very interesting, informative, & relaxing drive around the North Shore.

He knows everything about Hawaii and shared with us. We truly learned a lot of Hawaiian history during this trip. 6 stars instead of 5!!!

Tony took us around the island, pointing out major attractions and narrating the entire time. We learned interesting facts about Hawaiian culture and some about the myths and legends. I enjoyed my time in Haliewa and finally got to try Matsumoto's shave ice - definitely worth the hype! Had a great time and Tony was a very gracious host!

My husband, who is learning English conversation, made his first trip to Hawaii! Although we chose an English tour, my husband's English skills couldn't keep up... However, thanks to our cheerful and fun tour guide and driver, Patrick, we had a wonderful time. He helped us purchase tickets for the Dole Plantation, and we were able to enter smoothly. At times, he even used a translation device to explain things, which was incredibly kind and impressive. We had plenty of time in Haleiwa Town, and I was able to finally enjoy authentic garlic shrimp, as well as buy some unique souvenirs and my favorite items!

英会話を習っている主人の腕試しでハワイに初上陸❣️
英語ツアーを選んだものの、主人の英会話力ではついていかれず…でも、ツアーガイド&ドライバーのパトリックさんの明るく楽しいガイドのおかげで、とっても素敵な時間を過ごせました。
ドール農園のチケット購入時も手伝っていただき無事に入園、時に、翻訳機能を利用して説明してくれたりと、本当に親切な対応で感激しました。
ハレイワタウンもたっぷり時間があって、念願の本場ガーリックシュリンプも食べれたし、珍しいお土産やお気に入りの品々を購入する事ができました❣️

First of all, I want to express my gratitude to the guide; I truly had a fulfilling day. They took us to breathtaking spots that weren't included in the tour, provided detailed explanations about shops and buildings while we moved around, and taught us a variety of things without any time to rest.

When I mentioned that I wanted to try a loco moco burger, they honestly advised me on which places were delicious and which weren't, making it easy to choose a restaurant.

The pickup time was accurate, and the service was kind and attentive. My mother was also satisfied; thank you very much.

まず初めにガイドの方に感謝の気持ちを伝えたいほど、本当に充実した1日を過ごさせていただきました。ツアー内容に入っていない絶景スポットに寄ってくれたり、店や建物の説明をとにかく詳しくしてもらいながら移動したり、寝る間のないほど様々なことを教えていただきました。
ロコモコバーガーが食べたい旨を話すと、正直レビューで美味しい、美味しくないをアドバイスしてくれて、店選びをスムーズに行うことが出来ました。
ピックアップ時間も正確で、親切、丁寧な対応でした。母も満足しておりました、ありがとうございました。

I found a fulfilling tour that required a reservation and was difficult to access early in the morning for the Diamond Head hike, along with sightseeing on the East Coast and the North Shore, and booked it immediately.

Although I couldn't make it to the summit of Diamond Head in the early morning, I was able to see the sunrise along the way, and the view from the top was beautiful. I also visited Blowhole for the first time and coincidentally saw a whale jump. Our guide, Jonah, not only provided explanations but also took photos for us at various spots. He even took us to a place with a malasada food truck and Makapu'u Point, which wasn't on the original itinerary, making me feel like I got a great deal.

I've been to the North Shore a few times, but it was my first time at the lunch spot, Kahuku Sugar Mill, which was enjoyable. Overall, it was a packed day of hiking and sightseeing, and I highly recommend this tour. Although the time from early morning to evening was long, there were only two groups (four people total), so we were able to return to Waikiki 30 minutes early, right on schedule.

予約必要かつ早朝はアクセスしづらいダイヤモンドヘッド登山と、行ったことがない東海岸の観光、そしてノースショア。充実したツアーを見つけ、即予約しました。
早朝のダイヤモンドヘッドでは山頂には間に合いませんでしたが、途中で日の出を見ることができ、山頂でもきれいな景色が楽しめました。潮吹き岩も初めて訪れ、偶然クジラのジャンプも見られました。ガイドのジョナさんは説明はもちろん、行く先々で写真も撮って下さり、また途中予定にはないマラサダのフードトラックのある場所やマカプウ岬も寄ってくれ、得した気分になりました。ノースショアは何度か行ったことがありますが、ランチ場所のカフクシュガーミルは初めてだったので楽しかったです。とにかく1日でハイキングと観光てんこ盛りでとても充実したおすすツアーです。早朝から夕方まで時間は長いのですが、私達含めて2組（計4人）だったので、集合時間もぴったりで30分も早くワイキキに戻ることができました。

This tour was great. Clean, smooth bus. Great choice of places to stop but the highlight of the tour was our guide Lola. She was so knowledgeable sharing all sorts of Hawaiian history and interesting bits. She was caring, funny and a super good driver. We’re very glad we chose this tour and we recommend it.

I was able to enjoy a fulfilling sightseeing experience as we visited each destination at a good pace! The guide provided valuable knowledge about the places we were passing while driving. The guide also took photos at each destination, creating wonderful memories. The most impressive moment was at the blowhole, where I was very lucky to see a whale jumping in the distance.

それぞれの目的地をテンポよく巡って充実した観光ができました！ガイドさんが運転しながら今通っている場所の知識を教えてくれるのでためになります。ガイドさんが各目的地で写真を撮ってくださり思い出になります。巡った中で一番印象的だったのは潮吹き岩で遠くにクジラがジャンプする姿を見ることができたことでとてもラッキーでした。

- It was great that the bus was waiting before the meeting time, allowing us to board right away.
- Throughout the journey, there were constant explanations of the tourist attractions, including their history, which made it easy to understand.
- At the Dole Plantation, thanks to the "Royal Star/Beltra," we were able to enter before opening hours, which was time-efficient. Additionally, showing the tour sticker provides discounts on souvenirs.
- The bus was equipped with a restroom, which was reassuring for the elderly, and we appreciated that.

・集合時間の前にﾊﾞｽが待機していて､直ぐに乗車が出来て良かったです。
・道中､常に観光名所の説明があり､成立ちまで語って頂き､分かり易かったです。
・ﾄﾞｰﾙﾌﾟﾗﾝﾃｰｼｮﾝでは､｢ﾛｲﾔﾙ･ｽﾀｰ/ﾍﾞﾙﾄﾗ｣のおかげで開園時間前に入場する事ができ､
時間効率が良かったです｡またﾂｱｰｽﾃｯｶｰを見せると土産も割引きが有ります。
・バスにトイレが完備されているために､年配には心配が無く､ありがたです｡

It was a very nice bus, and there was a restroom, so it was comfortable. The driver, who also served as the guide, was enthusiastic and entertaining. Since it was an English tour, I only understood parts of it, but I still enjoyed it even though my English isn't great.

However, we visited many places, so the time spent at each location was short, and waiting in line for the restroom further reduced our sightseeing time, which was a bit unsatisfying. The malasadas we had along the way were delicious.

凄く立派なバスでお手洗いもあったので、快適でした。運転兼ガイドの方も説明も熱心で面白かったです。英語のツアーなので、所々しかわからなかったのですが...
英語が不得意でもたのしめました。
ただ、沢山回るのでそれぞれの滞在時間が短くて、トイレに並ぶと見学時間が余計に短くなってしまい、ものたりなかったです。
途中で頂いたマラサダま美味しかったです。

The bus driver provided various explanations while driving, which made the experience very enjoyable. He was a kind person who loved Japan. Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation were such attractive places that we didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted! 🎶

バスの運転手さんがずーっと色んな説明しながら運転してくださってとても楽しかったです。日本が大好きというとても優しい方でした。
ハレイワタウンもドールプランテーションもしたいことするには時間が足らなかったぐらい魅力的な場所でした🎶

Waking up early was tough, but it was definitely worth it! At Diamond Head, they lend you hand lights, so you don't need to bring anything. The view from the top was amazing! I also got to see many beautiful sights at the beach and in nature. Jonah shared the scenery, delicious restaurants, and information about Hawaii while driving, making the journey very enjoyable. Haleiwa Town on the North Shore was a great place for shopping at famous stores like Patagonia and enjoying acai bowls, which left me very satisfied! The nuts from the macadamia nut farm were delicious, and before I knew it, I had bought a lot of souvenirs (laughs). At the coffee farm I was aiming for, there were so many coffee beans to choose from that time flew by!

I highly recommend joining the tour for anyone who is considering it!

朝早くから大変ですが早起きしたかいがありました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドではハンドライトも貸してもらえるため必要なものは何もありません。
頂上からの景色は最高でした！
そのほかにもビーチや自然のなかで素敵な景色をたくさん見られました。
ジョナさんが運転中にも見える景色や美味しいお店、ハワイのことを紹介してくれる為、移動中もとても楽しめました。
ノースショアのハレイワタウンはpatagoniaなどの有名店でのショッピングやアサイーボウルも食べられ、大満足でした！
マカダミアナッツ農園のナッツもおいしく、気づけばお土産をたくさん買っていました(笑)
お目当てのコーヒー農園では、たくさんのコーヒー豆があり、よりどりみどりで時間が過ぎるのがあっという間でした！

ツアーに参加するか迷っている人はぜひ参加をオススメします！

Fabulous guides! A lovely informative bunch of girls.
The only place you can do solo ATV's now on Oahu!
A lot of fun!

At the beginning of the tour, there were some irregularities due to minor troubles with transportation, but overall, I was quite satisfied with the tour!

Especially, I think I was able to enjoy the trip comfortably thanks to the excellent hospitality of the tour guide.

Regarding the content, it goes without saying that Diamond Head and Haleiwa were quite crowded...

If there are things you want to eat or buy, I think it's a good idea to do some research beforehand!

During this tour, there were no other people in our group, so although the guide mentioned the meeting times at each point, we were allowed to explore freely without worrying about time, which made it very relaxing and enjoyable!

Finally, I would like to share my impressions from climbing Diamond Head.

First of all, the earlier you go, the better. If you can enter early, you can secure the best spot at the top.

As for clothing during the climb, if it's sunny, a T-shirt and shorts might be a bit too warm. Even if it's cloudy, I think a long-sleeve shirt should be sufficient.

Now, here's a little tip regarding the climbing method towards the summit at the end of the Diamond Head hike (after passing through the tunnel). There are two paths: one is the hiking trail, and the other is a staircase (which is quite steep and has over 100 steps).

Basically, the guide recommends the easier hiking trail, which about 97% of people use, but if you are confident in your physical fitness or are younger and have no health issues, I think taking the stairs is a good option.

The reason for this is that the stairs provide a significant shortcut, and since there are usually no people on that route, you can reach the summit much faster. As a result, it becomes easier to secure a good spot at the top. If you are worried about being late or want to secure a good spot at the summit, I recommend using the stairs.

I climbed at a light jog, so it took me less than three minutes from the tunnel to the summit area. (However, I don't recommend running as it can be dangerous, but it was quite satisfying to pass by those using the hiking trail.)

Lastly, it gets quite crowded near the summit. When I went, there weren't any major issues, but there were some individuals from a certain Asian country (I'll leave it to your imagination) and an influencer (who was Japanese) behaving selfishly, which was a bit bothersome. Given the location and the crowd, I encourage everyone to maintain decorum and enjoy the sunrise together!

Even if you can't secure a spot near the summit, it will clear up after a while, so you can take plenty of photos, so don't worry! The view towards Waikiki is also spectacular, so I think it's worth capturing that as well!

ツアー序盤、送迎等で少しトラブルが起こった影響でイレギュラーな点も少しありましたが、ツアー全体としての感想は概ね満足できました！！

特にツアーガイドの方のおもてなしが良かった為、心地よく旅をできたと思います。


内容についてですが、言わずもがなダイヤモンドヘッドとハレイワの方はかなり混んでいたという印象です。。。

もし、食べたいものや買いたいものがあればリサーチしておくのがいいかと思います！

今回のツアーにおいては、同グループに他の方はおらず、自分たちだけであったため、各ポイントにおいて集合時間等をガイドさんから言われるものの、時間を気にすることなく自由に散策しても良いとのことでしたので、とても気楽に楽しむことができました！


最後にダイヤモンドヘッド登山時の所感を述べさせてもらえればと思います。

まず、早く行くに越したことはありません。早く入山することができれば頂上のベストスポットを確保できます。

登山時の服装については晴れていればTシャツ短パンでも暑いぐらいです。曇っていても長袖1枚ほどで大丈夫かと思います。

ここからは裏技ですが、ダイヤモンドヘッド登山終盤(トンネル通過後)の山頂への登山方法についてです。
そこには2つの道があり、ハイキングコースを使って山頂に行く方法と階段(かなり急でおおよそ100段以上あり)を使って登る方法があります。

基本的にガイドの方も楽なハイキングコースをお勧めされ、約97%の方がそちらを利用されますが、もし体力に自信がある方、年齢が若くて身体に問題のない方は階段から行くのが良いかと思います。

その理由に関しましては、階段の方がかなりショートカットができるということと、人が誰もいないためとても早く山頂方面に向かうことができるからです。
その結果、山頂にてかなり良いスポットを確保しやすくなります。
もし、登山に出遅れた方や山頂で良いスポットを確保されたい方がいらっしゃいましたら、階段を使われれるのがいいかと思われます。

自分は小走りぐらいで登ったため、トンネルから山頂付近まで3分もかかりませんでした。
(しかしながら、走るのは危険ですのでオススメはしませんが、ハイキングコースを利用されている方をごぼう抜きできるので、それなりの達成感はありました)

最後に山頂付近になりますとかなり混雑します。
自分が行った際には基本的に問題はなかったのですが、一部某アジア系の外国の人の方(どこの国かはご想像にお任せします)やインフルエンサー？的な方(日本人でした)が身勝手な行動をされており少し迷惑にもなっておりました。
場所も場所であり混雑もしているので、行かれる方は節度を守ってみんなで楽しくサンライズを堪能しましょう！

仮に山頂付近を確保できなくとも、少し時間が経てば山頂付近は空くようになる為、写真は十分に取れますので安心してください！
特にサンライズだけではなく、ワイキキ方面の景色も絶景ですので、そちらも撮るのがいいかと思います！

First, we took a tour to explore Diamond Head and the Haleiwa area!

While our exploration of Haleiwa was on our own, the Diamond Head tour was shared with other foreign guests (two groups). Therefore, after hiking at Diamond Head, we returned to Waikiki to drop off the participants who were only joining for Diamond Head. This made us feel like we took quite a detour since we were planning to head to Haleiwa afterward.

However, we were satisfied because we were taken to the places we wanted to visit.

If there are places you want to stop by or visit along the way, I think you can let the guide know, and they will take you there. Conversely, if you don’t communicate the places you want to stop at in advance, there’s a high possibility they might skip them, so it’s best to keep that in mind.

Overall, I was satisfied with the tour because they listened to our various requests, and the guide's hospitality was great!

Thank you very much!!

まず、自分たちはダイヤモンドヘッド及びハレイワ方面への散策のツアーを行いました！

ハレイワ方面への散策については自分たちのみでありましたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドのツアーは他の外国人の方(２組)と同じでした。その為、ダイヤモンドヘッドでのハイキング後、ダイヤモンドヘッドのみの参加者を送り届ける為に一度ワイキキに戻って参りました。
その為、ダイヤモンドヘッド後にハレイワ方面に向かう予定であった我々からするとかなり遠回りをされたという感じでありました。

しかしながら、希望をした場所にはきちんと連れていっていただいたので、満足できました。

もし途中で寄りたいと考えている場所や行きたい場所がある場合、ガイドの方にお伝えすれば連れて行っていただけるかなと思います。
逆に言うと、予め寄ってほしい場所等をお伝えしておかなければスルーされる可能性が高いため、その点は注意しておいた方がいいかと思われます。



ツアー全体の感想としては、色々と希望を聞いていただいたり、ガイドさんのホスピタリティも良かった為、満足しております！

ありがとうございました！！

My family and I had a great time during the tour and enjoyed all the places we visited, except the Dole plantation which we think they should take out of the tour and visit Haleiwa town instead.
Our guide, Kainoa, was fantastic. He knows a lot about the history of Hawaii.

When I was wondering where to go on my first trip to Hawaii, I thought, "I want to see the sunrise at Diamond Head!" and found this great optional tour.

It turned out to be a fantastic choice!!!

They took care of all the reservations for Diamond Head, so there was absolutely no hassle.

It was super early in the morning, but we were able to see the sunrise and get some good exercise right from the start of the day.

Since it was a small group tour, there was only one other group besides us.

Our guide, Jonah, was incredibly helpful, and he took photos of us at various spots, allowing us to capture many wonderful memories.

Personally, I found the experience of cracking open macadamia nuts with a stone to be really interesting (Jonah taught us how to do it).

We were able to accomplish a lot with this optional tour, especially since it would have been difficult to get around efficiently without a rental car. It was so much fun!!!

初めてのハワイで、どこに行こうかな？と思った時に、ダイヤモンドヘッドで日の出見たいー！となって、いいオプショナルツアーないかな？と思った時にこちらを見つけました。

結果大正解でした！！！

ダイヤモンドヘッドの予約なども全部していただけるので、煩わしいことは一切ありませんでした。

朝めっちゃ早いですが、日の出もちゃんと見れて朝からいい運動でした。

少人数制のツアーということで、私たちの他にもう1組だけという感じでした。

ガイドのジョナさんには大変お世話になり、途中色々なスポットで写真を撮っていただき、沢山の思い出を写真におさめることが出来ました。

個人的にはマカダミアナッツを石で割って取り出す体験が面白かったです(ガイドのジョナさんに教えていただきました)

レンタカーがないと効率的に回れないところをこちらのオプショナルツアーで沢山叶えていただきました。楽しかったですー！！！

It was the best time we have had. Learned a lot about how they grow pineapple 🍍

I was looking for a tour to stop by the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout since I didn't rent a car. Our guide Marlon provided a wealth of information about Hawaii, and we were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots across Oahu, which made me very satisfied. Since it was an English-only tour, there were no other Japanese participants, and I felt a bit anxious as it was my first time in Hawaii. However, Marlon spoke English that was easy for Japanese speakers to understand and was fluent in Japanese as well, so having Marlon as a guide is the best for Japanese visitors! The malasadas were delicious, and both the bus and restroom were clean, and the driving was excellent.

レンタカーを借りなかったのでヌウアヌ・パリ展望台へ立ち寄るツアーを探していました。ガイドのMarlonはハワイに関する豊富な情報を提供してくれて、オアフ島全域の観光スポットを効率良く回ることができ、とても満足しました。英語のみのツアーだったので他に日本人はおらず、初めてのハワイで不安でした。しかし、Marlonは日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語を話してくれて、日本語も流暢なので、日本人はガイドがMarlonだと最高です！マラサダもおいしく、バスもトイレも綺麗で、運転も上手でした。
