Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Not enough time

Reviewed by: Lynn H

This is not the tour companys fault but if you want to be able to see Pearl Harbor don’t take this tour. The guide was late picking us up and we were at the end of the line. He did get our tickets for us but we spent a lot of time waiting around. There was not nearly enough time to see the site. The island tour was long and not very good. Unable to stop along the beaches due to laws. Dole plantation was a tourist trap and the macadamia shop was over run with people chowing down on the free samples. Anyway time would have been better spent seeing more of Pearl Harbor. So if you have a choice spend your time at Pearl Harbor and skip the bus tour. Find your own beach to hang out on later in the day

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー＜日本語ガイド兼インストラクター／送迎付き＞

Encountered a manta ray in Oahu! オアフでマンタに遭遇！

Reviewed by: Motty

I have been to Oahu many times, but I had never been to West Oahu, so I decided to join this tour. The instructor was a cute woman, which surprised me a bit. However, she was very knowledgeable, and I felt reassured once we entered the water. West Oahu is said to have mostly sunny weather, and the day of the tour was no exception. We could see dolphins swimming offshore from the beach, and the views of the Kaneohe Sandbar and Makaha Valley were beautiful and magnificent. The mystical Kaneana Cave is a place that is not easily accessible, so this tour is definitely worth participating in. During snorkeling at Pokai Bay, not only did we see sea turtles, but we also encountered a manta ray! I had seen one while diving on the Big Island before, but I never expected to see one while snorkeling from the beach on Oahu. The instructor mentioned that it was her first time encountering one on this tour, and she was surprised as well. The creatures you encounter in the ocean vary by season. I would love to join another tour again.

何度もオアフには行っていますが、西オアフには行ったことがなかったため参加しました。ガイドでインストラクターがキュートな女性でちょっとビックリ。しかし、とても知識があって、海に入ると頼もしさを感じました。西オアフは基本的に晴天が多いそうですが、参加日も快晴。沖を泳ぐイルカがビーチからも見え、カネへの礼拝山やマカハの渓谷も美しく素晴しかったです。神秘的なカネアナ洞窟は、なかなか行くことは出来ないところだと思うので、このツアーに参加する価値があります。ポーカイベイでのシュノーケルでは、海亀だけではなく、ナント！マンタに遭遇！！ハワイ島でのダイビングでは以前見たことがありますが、オアフ島で、しかもビーチからのシュノーケルで見ることが出来るとは思ってもみませんでした。インストラクターの方も、このツアーでは、初めてだそうで、驚いていらっしゃいました。季節によって海で出会う生き物は色々。またご案内いただきたいと思います。

I was able to see a Hawaiian monk seal. ハワイアンモンクシールを見れました。

Reviewed by: ほりうちんぐ

It was a tour where we drove through the western side, which I had never been to before, while listening to various explanations. Along the way, we were able to see a wild Hawaiian monk seal, which is said to be quite rare. The snorkeling lasted about an hour at the end. It was a beach with no tourists, just two locals fishing. We saw turtles and fish, but I thought it would have been better if the water clarity was higher for snorkeling. I think the tour of West Oahu is unique and good, but it felt a bit pricey. I wish it had included lunch at least.

行ったことがなかった西側をドライブしながら色々な説明を聞くツアーでした。その道中なかなか見る事が出来ないらしい野生のハワイアンモンクシールを見る事が出来ました。シュノーケリングは最後に1時間くらいでした。地元の人が2人釣りをしているくらいの観光客のいないビーチでした。カメや魚も見れましたが、シュノーケリングするにはもっと透明度が高いといいのになと思いました。西オアフのツアーは珍しくて良いと思いますが、少し料金が高いかなという印象でした。せめてランチ付きだったらよかったかなーと思います。

It's a fulfilling experience that includes visiting mysterious places and enjoying snorkeling. The tour guide was knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories, which made it enjoyable. I was surprised to see a Hawaiian monk seal in the shallow waters, something you rarely encounter. At Kaneana Cave, I captured an unprecedented number of orbs in my photos.

Reviewed by: でこぴょん

This was my fifth time in Hawaii, but my first experience snorkeling in West Oahu. I really felt lucky to be able to join this tour, as I wanted to visit Yokohama Bay. It had been a while since I swam, so I was a bit worried and hesitantly signed up for snorkeling, but after listening to the thorough explanations, we swam from the beach, which made it completely enjoyable without any anxiety. While listening to various explanations from the knowledgeable Akima, we toured power spots, and the wonderful scenery of the natural and quiet West Oahu, different from Waikiki and North Shore, was truly moving. We took an astonishing number of photos, and I feel like my husband and I will have a lot to talk about when we return home. I highly recommend this tour!

今回は5回目のハワイでしたが、始めての西オワフでシュノーケリングも初体験。ヨコハマベイに行ってみたいと思い、このツアーに参加できたことは本当にラッキーでした。泳ぎが久しぶりで心配でもあり恐る恐る申し込みしたシュノーケリングでしたが、しっかりと説明を聞いてから海岸から泳いでいくものでしたので、全く不安なく楽しめました。知識豊富なあきまさんから色々な説明を聞きながらパワースポットを巡ったり、ワイキキやノースショア、東オワフとはまた違った、自然のままの静かな西オワフの素晴らしい景色は感動ものです。写真もびっくりするくらいの枚数を撮っていただいて、帰国してからも主人と思い出話しに花が咲きそうです。本当にお勧めのツアーです！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I think it's great for those who have gotten tired of Waikiki. There are hardly any Japanese people around, so you can truly experience the local vibe. On this day, we were lucky to see four sea turtles. If you have specific places you want to visit or dislike making various stops, it seems that private tours are available, so please inquire with the tour company. Personally, I thought it might have been better to go with a private tour. You wouldn't have to worry about others. There are also many places to see in West Oahu lately, so if you go private, I think they can help you with various consultations. The service is very good.
*No need to worry if you can't swim.
*Pack light.
*Use a waterproof camera.
*Bring cash for tips and lunch, calculated to the minimum.
*Wear your swimsuit.
*Beach sandals are okay. If you have sea shoes, that's best. (Bring your own beach sandals)
I hope this is helpful.

ワイキキに飽きてしまった人には良いと思います。日本人は全くいません。完全なロコを味わえます。この日はラッキーで、ウミガメが4匹もいました。回りたいところがピンポイントで決まっている方や、色々ストップするのが嫌な方など、ワガママツアーにしたい方は貸切もあるそうなので、ツアー会社に問い合わせてみて下さい。個人的には貸切にした方が良かったかな、と思いました。他の方に気を使わなくて済みますしね。西オアフも色々と見るところが最近あるので、貸切であれば、色々と相談に乗ってもらえると思います。対応はとても良いです。
※泳げなくても心配いりません。
※荷物は少なく。

※現金はチップと昼食代を計算して最小限に。
※水着は着用で参加。

I was disappointed with the circle Island Tour as it felt rushed and we only had a half hour at the Dole Plantation which was sufficient only to get something to eat very quickly and see nothing else. The Polynesian Cultural Center was marvelous, great luau, great show. Our driver was a very sweet man but tended to preach and too frequently interspersed his own Christian beliefs. He also mentioned, way too often, the High Cost of Living and the low wages. He is very knowledgeable with regard to the price of real estate on the island, about which I really have no interest.

West Coast Explorer - Land Tour & Beach Snorkel (from Ko Olina / Waikiki)

Great tour of the picturesque, less touristy west side of Oahu

Reviewed by: Lorna and Tammy

Bob and Akima picked us up at 7.25 am outside Hawaiian Prince Hotel, then picked up 2 other groups of 3 making 8 of us. We drove out of Waikiki for around 20 mins with interesting commentary about Hawaii from Akima before reaching our first stop - a beautiful picturesque beach where it"s possible to see dolphins. Akima spoke Japanese so stayed with the 6 Japanese people leaving Bob to me and my friend. Bob told us a lot about the area and if you want to know more about surfing then Bob's your man. We then moved on to a small group of shops where we bought items for our picnic lunch later.
We next went to a Kaneana,(Makua cave) a very old sea cave with many legends attached to it. Bob was a great storyteller telling us about the legend of the shapeshifter shark man of Makua cave. Then you can explore the cave a bit if you dare!
Next we stopped at the stunning Makaha valley which again has a great legend associated with it and looks like scenery from Kong Island or Jurassic Park.
We were really lucky driving to our next spot as Bob spotted a rare Monk Seal basking on the rocks.
A couple more lovely spots then time for our lunch at Ku'ilioloa Heiau, and then the snorkelling at Pokai Bay. First Bob checked our swimming ability then gave us mask,snorkel and fins plus a life vest. Bob is very patient and stays with you all the time gently encouraging you to explore the sealife. I'm not confident snorkelling but felt very safe with Akima and Bob. We saw corals, beautiful colourful fish and 2 sea turtles.
It was a really great day which we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to see a much less touristy authentic side of Oahu, the scenery is just beautiful and excellent snorkelling. Many thanks to Akima and Bob who made our day special.

The tour didn't have the usual delays in pickup. Instead, the instructor greeted us with a big smile and kind assistance, which made me confident that this tour would be great. The tour itself was rich in knowledge and experience, allowing us to learn a wide range of facts about Hawaii, including trivia. It wasn't just a simple "go to a place, swim, and come back" tour; it included myths related to caves and snorkeling points, making it a tour that deepens your understanding of Hawaii. Why not give it a try?

ツアーにありがちなピックアップが遅れる…。そんなこともなく、インストラクターが満面の笑顔と親切な対応で、出迎えていただきこのツアーは大丈夫と確信いたしました。
ツアー自体も、ガイド知識と経験が豊富で、ハワイの知識(雑学も含めて)を幅広く学べるものでした。単なる「場所に行って泳いで帰る」というツアーではなく、洞窟にまつわる神話やシュノーケリングポイントなどなど、ハワイに対してまた一段と造形深くなるツアーです。一度ご参加されてみてはいかがでしょうか。

If you're looking for a tour in West Oahu, this is the place! 西オアフのツアーなら、ここです！

Reviewed by: ツノダシ

I had been wanting to visit West Oahu, but I hesitated because the guidebook mentioned a lot of car break-ins and that the area wasn't very safe. Then I found out about this tour.

In the end, it was a great decision to participate in this tour. I highly recommend it. The group was small, with just two couples including my spouse and me, which was perfect for those who want to enjoy the tour at their own pace.

With Akima as our Japanese guide, we learned about the history of West Oahu, the traces of Tahitians who are said to have landed there, and the sacred cave of KANEANA, which sparked our imagination about Hawaii's history.

For lunch, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere at a park by the beach where locals were having barbecues, and we had our lunch in the shade of trees. It felt like we were locals for a moment.

The beach was not crowded, and we could enjoy snorkeling at our leisure while locals jumped into the sea and did stand-up paddleboarding. The water was clear, and while there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we did see a few, including a honu napping on the seabed.

The couple we toured with mentioned they had participated in various tours, but they were excited and said, "This is the kind of tour we like."

Next time, I would like Akima to guide us around the entire island of Oahu.

西オアフに行ってみたいと思っていましたがガイドブックでは車上荒らしが多く治安がよくないと書かれており躊躇していたところ、このツアーがあることを見つけました。
結果、参加して大変よかったツアーです。おすすめのツアーです。
参加は少人数で、当日は私たち夫婦含めて２組、穏やかに自分のペースでツアーに参加したいという方には丁度よい人数です。
アキマさんの日本語ガイドで、西オアフの歴史やタヒチアンが上陸されたとされる痕跡やKANEANAの神聖な洞窟の案内は、ハワイの歴史の想像をかきたてるものでした。
ランチは、ローカルの人がバーベキューを楽しんだりゆったりした雰囲気のビーチ前の公園で、木陰でランチタイム。ローカルの人になった気分を味わえました。
ローカルの人が海に飛び込んだり、スタンドアップパドルをしたり思い思いに楽しんでいるビーチは混雑もなく、シュノーケリングをゆったり楽しめました。海は透明度が高く、魚はあふれるほどいる、というほどではありませんが、フヌフヌプクプクアプアアや海底で昼寝をしているホヌもみれました。
ツアーにご一緒したご夫婦もいろんなツアーに参加されていらっしゃるとのことでしたが、「こういうツアーがいい」と興奮しておられました。
今度は、アキマさんにオアフ島一周を案内してもらいたいと思っています。

Reviewed by: Ｋａｙｏ

In conclusion, it was incredibly fun!!!!!!!

This was my first solo trip abroad. I was looking for an optional tour to go snorkeling and discovered this tour. It was my second time in Hawaii, and I had seen quite a few sites mentioning that the west side could be dangerous, so I hadn’t researched it for my first visit. But when I found out there was a tour that would take us to the west side, I quickly made a reservation. Of course, since I was participating alone, I had some anxiety, but the moment I met our guide Akima, all my worries disappeared.

This time, there was a Japanese couple, and in addition to them, there were also some international participants (I couldn't identify their countries...), so perhaps that’s why two guides, Akima and a man named Bob, were with us. I regretted not studying English properly, as I could have talked with Bob and the others if I could speak it.

Akima explained various things in an interesting and easy-to-understand manner, including legends and the origins of power spots, as well as Hawaii's history, the mindset of the Hawaiian people, their way of life, and current situations, sometimes in a quiz format. This made the time spent in the car and during sightseeing enjoyable. In fact, I wanted to ask even more questions.

Regarding snorkeling, it was disappointing that I didn’t get to see a turtle (only Bob found one, but it was deeper in the water, so we couldn’t see it from the surface, haha). However, I had fun touching a sea urchin and having it placed on my head (of course, Akima gently returned it to the sea), and I got to see fish that can only be found in Hawaii. I thought I’d like to be able to do some free diving, even if it’s not full-on.

Oh, I learned that while the west side wasn’t safe over ten years ago, that’s not the case anymore in recent years.

I definitely want to request other tours, like a private tour, next time! It would be fun to go hiking together too♪

I look forward to it again!!!

結論から言うと、めちゃめちゃ面白かったです！！！！！

今回、初めて海外へのひとり旅でした。
１日はオプショナルツアーでシュノーケリングしたいなと探していたところ、このツアーを発見。
ハワイは２回目で、西は危ないと書かれているサイトもけっこう見かけていたので１回目は調べもしていなかったのですが、西に連れて行ってくれるツアーあるんだ♪ってことでさっそく予約。
もちろんひとり参加だったので多少の不安はあったのですが、ガイドのあきまさんにお会いした瞬間、その不安はなくなりました。

今回は日本人のご夫婦がいらっしゃって、それ以外に海外の方(国はわかりませんでしたが、、、)も参加されており、そのためかBobさんという男性とあきまさんのお二人がガイドしてくれました。英語がしゃべれたらその方やBobさんともお話できたんだけどなぁと、英語をちゃんと勉強していかなかったことを悔やみました。

パワースポットについての伝説や名前の由来などはもちろん、ハワイの歴史やハワイの方々の考え方、暮らし、状況など、いろいろなことをあきまさんが面白くわかりやすく、ときにクイズ形式で説明していただけるので、車に乗っている間も観光中も満喫できました。
というか、まだまだいろいろ聞いていたかったぐらいです。

シュノーケルについては、カメに会えなかったのは残念でしたが(Bobさんだけ見つけてましたが、海の下のほうだったので海面にいた私たちには見えませんでした笑）、ウニを触ったり頭に乗っけてもらったり（もちろん、丁寧にあきまさんが海に戻しておりました）、ハワイにしかいない魚が見られたりと、楽しかったです。
フリーダイビングまではいかなくても、ある程度の素潜りできるようになりたいと思いましたね～。

あ、西は１０年以上前は治安がよくはなかったが、近年はそのようなことはないとのことです。

ぜひ、次回はプライベートツアーなど他のツアーもお願いしたいです！
ハイキングとかもご一緒できたら楽しそうです♪

またぜひよろしくお願い致します！！！
