Picked this tour to the north shore due to the choice of activities and since it had pick up from Waikiki. Mike was our guide and informative. Snorkelled at Shark's cove then headed to Waimea Bay for some snorkelling and beach time. Then chose to paddle boarding down the river near Haleiwa instead of kayaking. Ended the tour at Haleiwa. Good tour for the time spent up north and activities you could participate in and p/u provided.

The guide was very knowledgeable, so I was never bored listening to him! Touring while hearing about history and trivia allowed me to feel nature more deeply, making it a very memorable and stimulating experience! During the afternoon snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, and although we can't touch them due to the law, it came very close to us, and I was completely charmed by its cuteness! I highly recommend this for those who want to enjoy a drive along a coastline different from Waikiki!
ガイドさんの知識が豊富なので聞いていて終始飽きなかったです!!
歴史や豆知識を聞きながら巡る観光は、より深く自然を感じることが出来るのでとても思い出に残る刺激的な体験になりました!
午後のシュノーケルでは運よくウミガメに遭遇した上に、(法律上触れることは出来ませんが)すぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれて、その可愛さにとてもキュンキュンしました☆
ワイキキとは違う海岸線のドライブを楽しみたい方にお勧めです!

The guide was very eager to learn and had extensive knowledge about Hawaii. She entertained us by teaching us about Hawaii's birds, fish, flowers, and state flag through quizzes, explaining their reasons and origins. She also provided detailed information about Hawaii's unique climate, lifestyle, customs, and the flowers and seeds of its plants. Regarding the western tourist spots, she humorously shared local legends and stories while guiding us.
As for the snorkeling, she not only showed us fish, coral, and turtles but also discovered dolphins a bit offshore and helped two of our companions, who weren't strong swimmers, by pulling them along on a float. It must have been quite physically demanding for her. She kindly listened to our whims.
Additionally, on that day, we were fortunate enough to encounter a parade for a world champion in martial arts (a fighter from western Hawaii) and even met a wild peacock, which suggests that our guide had a special touch. She had lived in various places around the world and had experience in different jobs, sharing her rich knowledge about the lifestyles, climates, and customs of those countries.
Finally, regarding her personality, I felt she was a kind Hawaiian born in Japan. If I have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, I would definitely ask her to be my guide.
ガイドの方は、大変勉強熱心らしく、ハワイについての知識が豊富。私たちを楽しませてくれようと、ハワイの鳥、魚、花、州旗などなどその理由、成り立ちについて、クイズ形式で教えてくれました。また、ハワイ特有の気候、生活、風習、植物の花や種についても、詳しく教えてくれました。西部の観光スポットについては、実際にガイドをしながら、現地に伝わる伝説、伝承を交えユーモラスに語ってくれました。肝心のシュノーケリングですが、魚、サンゴ、亀などを見せてくれたのは勿論のこと、ちょっと沖の方にイルカを発見し、泳ぎが得意でない同行者二人をフロートにつかまらせて引っ張って連れて行ってくれました。体力的にもかなりハードであったと思われます。わがままな我々の言うことを優しく受け止めてくれてもいました。更に、当日は何とハッピーなことに格闘技世界チャンピオン(ハワイ西部出身の選手)の凱旋パレードにも出くわしたり、野生のクジャクに出会ったりと、ガイドの彼女は何か持っているに違いありません。ガイドの彼女は世界各地に実際に生活し様々な仕事に携わった経験があり、その国々の生活や気候、風習などについても経験豊富な知識を元に話してくれました。最後に、彼女の性格ですが、私の感じたところ優しい日本生まれのハワイ人という感じでした。又、ハワイに来る機会があれば彼女にガイドを頼もうと思います。
Thank you for your review!
I am still studying about Hawaii. I believe I will have different stories to share next time compared to our previous meeting in West Oahu, so please come again.
I've been told by others that I "have something," whether it's encountering the miraculous monk seal underwater or seeing manta rays at "that beach." I wonder what I will come across next time... stay tuned!
I look forward to welcoming you again.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!

I recently visited Hawaii after a long time, and since it was my friend's first trip to Hawaii, I was in charge of planning the itinerary. After debating between a "local guide" and a "niche tour," I decided on this tour.
First, I was surprised that our guide was a woman! Since it was advertised as "West Oahu where no one goes," I was curious about what kind of local guy would show up, but…
There were really no Japanese people at the beach! I felt like this was exactly the kind of tour I was looking for, and my excitement was through the roof. The supermarket was filled with locals, and I loved the feeling of being in an unfamiliar place.
The caves were also getting crowded with tourists shortly after us, so I thought the timing was perfect. The content included explanations of old legends and myths, and the guide took plenty of photos for us, providing thoughtful assistance throughout. She was knowledgeable about animals and plants, and I never got bored listening to her.
We encountered a pod of dolphins around Yokohama Bay, which got everyone excited.
During snorkeling, we saw not only sea turtles but also sharks. When someone shouted "Shark!" and I turned around, there was a shark about a meter long, and I had the incredibly rare experience of swimming alongside it. I was told it was not aggressive, but it was a bit thrilling.
While it wasn't just a random assortment of fish, we did see colorful fish and schools, which was great.
However, the temperature difference in the water made me feel cold before the turnaround point, and I started to feel seasick. The stops for explanations were the worst for my nausea. I apologize for not being able to hear much during the second half as I was battling my discomfort.
If you're sensitive to the cold, it might be a good idea to wear a rash guard during certain times.
But it would have been better if I hadn't gotten seasick… Even if you can't swim and use a float, you still feel the waves while holding onto it… (laughs) It was fine while I was biting down on the snorkel, but the moment I took it out and tasted the seawater, I felt like I was going to gag (though I didn't throw up).
For lunch, it might be better to keep it light or eat something that can be eaten with your hands in the car on the way back (like bread). I bought a poke bowl for lunch, and they kept anything that needed refrigeration cool, so I felt safe purchasing it!
On the way back to Waikiki, I fell into a deep sleep, and by the time I woke up, I had recovered from my seasickness and was ready to enjoy the evening activities.
私は久々のハワイで、初ハワイの彼に行程を任されまして、「現地人ガイド」か「マニアック系」で悩んだ結果、こちらのツアーに決定しました。
まず、ガイドさんが女性なのに驚き!"誰も行かない西オアフ"ってマニアックな事を謳うくらいなのでどんな地元に根付いた兄ちゃんが出てくるのかと思ったら…!
海も本当に日本人いない!こういうツアーを求めてた!!!って感じでテンションはあがりまくり…
スーパーもローカルしかいない所でこのアウェー感がたまらん!状態。
洞窟も私たちのちょい後には外人さんでいっぱいになっていて、時間のチョイスも絶妙だと思いました。
内容も昔ながらの伝説や神話を交えて解説、写真もバシバシ撮って下さるし細やかな対応で助かりました。
動物や植物にも詳しく、聞いていて飽きなかったです。
ヨコハマベイ周辺ではイルカの群れに遭遇で一同盛り上がりました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメだけでなく、サメにも遭遇しました。
サメだ!の声に振り返ると1mくらいのサメがいて、一緒に泳ぐという貴重すぎる体験が出来ました。人を襲わないヤツと言う事でしたが、ちょっとスリルがありましたね。
手当たり次第魚がいると言う感じではなかったですが、カラフルな魚や群れも見られて良かったです。
ただ…割と水の寒暖差でUターンポイント前には体が冷え切り、波には酔う始末。
説明の為に停滞するのが酔いの命取り状態でした^^;;
後半は自分との戦いでほぼ説明が聞き取れずですいませんでした。
寒さを感じやすい方はラッシュガード上下あると良い時期があるかもしれませんね。
しかし、波に酔わなければより良かったです…
泳げなくてNG!なら浮き輪で戻れても…酔いは浮き輪に捕まっていても揺れますしね…(笑
シュノーケルを奥歯でギューっとしている間は良かったのですが、外して海水の味が口に回った瞬間オエっとなりました(吐かなかったけど。
ランチは控えめか、帰りの車の中で失礼した方が良いかもしれません。(パンとか手で食べられるもの)
ランチはポキボウルを買いましたが冷蔵が必要なものは冷やしておいて下さるので安心して購入出来ました!
ワイキキに戻る間にぐっすりいっちゃったので、起きた時には酔いからも回復していて夕方からの遊びもがんばれました。
Thank you for your review.
That shark was just at that time; I haven't seen a shark at that beach before, so I was lucky! (It's a white tip shark, which lives in coral reefs and grows to about 1.5 meters, so it's a small shark. It rarely attacks people.)
During snorkeling, I was worried, thinking, "Are they not having fun?" but it was actually seasickness! I'm sorry I didn't realize that...
Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii!!
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
あのサメはあの時だけです、あのビーチでサメを見たことはまだないんです、ラッキーでした! (ホワイトチップという、サンゴ礁に住むサメで大きくなっても1.5mくらいの小さいサメです。人を襲うことはまずありません)
シュノーケルの際、あれ? 楽しくないのかなと心配していたのですが、酔いのほうでしたか! 気がつかなくて申し訳ありませんでした。。。
またハワイにお越しの際にはご参加ください!!

I thought there was only one power spot in the cave, but I was taken to multiple places, including the cave, the sea, and the mountains. Being a power spot, it was mystical, and I was able to enjoy the unique scenery of Hawaii. I was looking forward to snorkeling, and I was very satisfied to encounter not only beautiful tropical fish but also an eel and three sea turtles. Next time, I think I will practice using the fins a bit more.
パワースポットは洞窟の1か所だけと思っていたが、洞窟はもちろん海や山、何か所も連れて行ってもらった。パワースポットなので神秘的でありハワイ独特の景色も楽しめた。楽しみにしていたシュノーケリング、きれいな熱帯魚はもちろん、うつぼや三匹の海亀に出会うことができ大満足。次回は、もう少し足ひれの使い方を練習しておこうと思った。
Thank you for your review.
There are power spots scattered throughout West Oahu, and it seems that those who can feel them experience quite a strong energy.
The ocean changes every time, so if you have the opportunity, please continue to go snorkeling; the more you get used to it, the more fun it becomes!
If you have another chance, please join us again.

Since I experienced various optional tours, this time I decided to go to the West Coast, which I had never been to before. It seemed a bit difficult to go on our own by rental car, so we joined this tour. I encountered a turtle while snorkeling! I was so happy to swim with the turtle. I ended up sleeping in the car on the way back, and I felt sorry for the guide.
色々オプショナルツアーを体験したので、今度は行ったことのない西海岸へ。レンタカーで自分たちで行くにはちょっと難しそうだったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングでカメに遭遇!カメと一緒に泳ぐことができて幸せでした。
帰りの車で寝てしまい、ガイドさんに申し訳なかったです。
Thank you for the review. It's quite common for most people to fall asleep in the car on the way back, so please don't worry about it. In fact, when I see someone sleeping, I think it means they were tired = they had a great time, so I don't mind at all. Until we meet again, aloha!

I participated because I wanted to have a new experience in Hawaii. West Oahu feels like the original landscape of Hawaii, where myths and legends remain, as it is still underdeveloped. At Kaneana Cave, being a power spot, I felt something mysterious just by being nearby. It was great to have a Japanese guide, which allowed me to ask various questions. Thank you, Akima. I was also surprised by many things at the drive-in and restrooms we stopped at, which left a strong impression. I was lucky to encounter a Hawaiian monk seal lounging on the rocks and was able to observe it slowly. During snorkeling, we also saw a sea turtle resting on the ocean floor, which made the kids very happy. The weather was good, everything went smoothly, and I was very satisfied. The photos taken by the guide were also very nice.
ハワイで新しい体験がしたくて参加しました。西オアフは開発が進んでいないので神話と伝説が残っているハワイの原風景という感じでした。カネアナ洞窟ではパワースポットというだけあって近くにいくだけで不思議な何かを感じました。日本人のガイドさんだったので色々質問でき非常によかったです。あきまさんありがとうございました。途中で寄ったドライブインやトイレなどでも驚くことも多く印象に残りました。また絶滅危惧種のハワイアンモンクシールが岩の上で寝転んでいるところに出会いゆっくり観察できラッキーでした。シュノーケリングではウミガメが海底で休んでいるところも見れて子供達も喜んでました。天気もよく、すべてうまくいきとても満足でした。ガイドさんに撮ってもらった写真もとてもよかったです。
Thank you for your review.
West Oahu is truly a place where tourists have yet to arrive in large numbers. I hope you were able to feel the essence of Hawaii... There are really many things that happen at Kaneana.

I participated because I had already explored everything on Oahu except the west side. There were many points to see with a small group, and the explanations were thorough, which increased my knowledge in various areas. I was able to see many turtles while snorkeling. The only downside was the weather; it was mostly rainy, which was disappointing. Next time, I would like to participate during the dry season.
オアフは西以外は制覇したので参加しました。少人数で見るポイントが沢山あり説明も丁寧で知識が色々増えました。シュノーケルでは亀も沢山見れました。パーフェクトじゃなかったのは天気が悪く殆どで雨降りで残念。今度は乾季に参加したいと思います。

This tour was great. I learned so much about Oahu and Hawaiian culture, and loved getting to visit the island's highlights. Our guide, Ed, was an absolute highlight. He was so knowledgeable and funny, sharing endless facts and not allowing the full day tour to get boring.
The bus was comfortable, so even though driving for most of the day, it was relaxing and enjoyable. The buffet lunch at Kualoa Ranch was tasty, with a beautiful view.
My favorite sight was probably the Byodo-In Temple. Such a serene setting..
I highly recommend this tour for anyone without a car rental, wanting to get out of Waikiki for the day and interested in learning about the island.

Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay are crowded, so I was looking for other snorkeling tours when I found this West Oahu tour. In my case, it was almost a private tour, which was a great deal and a satisfying experience.
The vehicle (which was a new car at the time, haha) was driven by the guide, so it wasn't a shared bus, allowing for a comfortable ride even over long distances. We stopped at many points, including places I wanted to visit and some I learned about for the first time, and the guide provided detailed information about Hawaii's history, making the journey very enjoyable.
The best part is that there were no people at any of the points we visited! Most tourist tours are filled with other tourists. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to fully enjoy the private natural beauty of Hawaii. The snorkeling was also incredibly mystical and private since there were no people in the water. Beginners will have no problems at all; they provide excellent support.
ワイキキビーチやハナウマ湾は人が多いので、他のシュノーケルができるツアーを探していたところ、こちらの西オアフツアーを見つけました。
私の場合はほぼプライベートツアーで大変お得で満足な経験をさせて頂きました。
車(この時は新車でしたw)はガイドさんの車で乗り合いバスとかではない為、長距離も乗り心地よくとても快適に過ごせました。
行ってみたかった場所や初めて知った場所、かなり多くのポイントに車を停め、ハワイの歴史などとても詳しく教えて頂き道中もとても楽しめました。
何といってもどのポイントも人がいないのが魅力です‼どの観光ツアーも行く先は観光客ばかりですよね。プライベートなハワイの大自然を満喫したい方に是非おすすめしたいです。
シュノーケルも海に人がいないのですごく神秘的でプライベートなシュノーケルを楽しめました。初心者の方も全く問題ありません。しっかりサポートしてくれます。

I traveled to Hawaii with my older mother and sister. I signed up for the tour because I heard that the West Coast tour was rare. We were supposed to meet at 7:30 AM, but the three of us woke up at 7:20 and were late. We finally got in touch with Akima-san after 9 AM, but they had already moved quite a bit along the West Coast. We took a taxi to Makaha Beach and joined the tour. It’s a funny story now, but everyone, please make sure to set your alarms properly.
My 78-year-old mother tried snorkeling for the first time. She gave up partway through, but she looked happy to finally get into the ocean. I made Akima-san use a lot of energy.
The beautiful scenery and Akima-san's smile were wonderful. When there was trash on the beach, people picked it up, and it felt very natural and normal. It made me realize that visitors should also keep this in mind.
Although it was a short tour, I got to hear a lot of interesting stories. As plant lovers, we found it very fascinating and took many photos.
Thank you very much.

I participated in a tour on February 2nd. It turned out to be a private tour just for me and my friend. Our guide, Akima, shared various insights about the origins of Hawaiian language and island myths during our travels, which was enjoyable and something I wouldn't have learned on my own. During snorkeling, we got to see incredibly beautiful waters and even spotted a sea turtle, which was very satisfying. My friend, who can't swim at all, was even taught how to swim, making it a very fulfilling day that exceeded the tour's content. Thank you for the ride back to the hotel. I hope to have the opportunity again.

I went around the power spots in West Oahu and went snorkeling. Both the guide and the driver were very kind. I’m a beginner at snorkeling, but I got used to it quickly. I was truly moved to meet a large sea turtle.
西オアフのパワースポットをめぐり、シュノーケリングをしました。
ガイドさん、運転手さん共に大変親切でした。シュノーケリング初心者ですが、すぐに慣れました。
大きな海亀に会うことができ、本当に感動しました。
Thank you for your review.
The nature of West Oahu is unlike any other scenery on Oahu. There are also power spots scattered throughout. I hope you were able to feel the power of the west.
Please join us again.
Aloha,

西オアフの自然は他のどのオアフ島の景色とも違いますよね。パワースポットも点在していますし。西のパワーを感じていただけたかと思います。
ぜひまたご参加ください。

The knowledgeable guide provided detailed explanations at each sightseeing point and took many photos. During snorkeling, they greatly supported me, a senior, which allowed me to comfortably encounter two turtles. I was also able to see many beautiful fish, which was wonderful. I want to go snorkeling again. The driver was handsome, and it was nice that he played Hawaiian music in the car. Thank you, Bob and Akima!
物知りのガイドさんが、観光ポイントごとに詳しく説明してくれ、写真もたくさん撮ってくれた。
シュノーケルの時も高年齢の私を大きくサポートしてくれたので安心して亀ちゃん2匹に遭遇できた。きれいな魚もたくさん見れて良かった。
またシュノーケリングをしたいと思った。運転手さんもハンサムで、車中ハワイアン音楽を流してくれたのも良かった。
ボブさんアキマさんありがとう!
Thank you for your review.

The sea turtles in Hawaii are completely protected, and they likely know this, so you can see them up close as long as you don't chase them. Depending on the turtle, they may come up close to people...
The turtles in the ocean are really cute, aren't they?
Please come visit us again.

ハワイのウミガメは完全に保護されていて、向こうもおそらくそれを知っていてこちらが追いかけない限り近くで見ることができます。カメにもよりますが人の近くに上がってきたり・・
海の中のカメは本当にかわいいですよね~。
ぜひまたお越しくださいませ。
