Thanks Jason for making our day a memorable one. The places we visited, the spots we stopped at and the information imparted by you was great.
The Polynesian Cultural Centre was worth this visit and more as we couldn't fit everything into 1/2 day. The students from the university were very grateful to their visitors but we were grateful to them for sharing their various cultures with us.
Dinner was great and the Breath of life show was superb.

Even though I am not a tourist and have lived in Honolulu for almost three years, the circle island tour with Polynesian Adventure Tours was amazing to say the least. I had already been to most of the places we visited on the tour, but on that day I saw the island in a different light. Nothing like learning about Hawaii from a native Hawaiian guide! He was a human encyclopedia of information and facts. Culture, history, flora, fauna, movie set locations—he knew it all.
What specifically impressed me is when our guide talked about Captain Cook’s death. Many sources say that this European sailor might have been eaten by the natives. Our guide shared, however, that Hawaiian people never practices cannibalism. After Cook’s death his body was treated the same way a body of a local chief would be treated—the flesh was burnt but the bones remained intact for further burial. So, upon requesting their captain’s body, Cook’s team was issued a bag of bones, which made them automatically assume he had been eaten.
I would highly recommend the circle island tour to anyone wanting to see Oahu’s beautiful nature and also learn more about its history and culture. This tour will definitely broaden your horizons. I am thankful I had the opportunity to go!

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I was drawn to the west side of Oahu, which I had never visited before, so my husband and I joined a tour.
We were surprised to find that we were the only two participants, but our tour guide Akima made it a wonderful experience with fun conversations and stories about Hawaii's history and legends. At Kaneana Cave, we were able to feel the mystical atmosphere, and in Makua Valley, we experienced the sacred mana in our bodies. It was a very strange sensation.
During snorkeling, I felt a bit nauseous due to the waves, but swimming with the turtles was a great experience.
We opted for the photo package. They took some lovely pictures of us, which was fantastic. The photo below is one I took, but it's a bit blurry.
Thank you, Akima, for the enjoyable guidance.
I definitely recommend visiting the west side of Oahu, where there are hardly any tourists, to recharge your energy!
6回目のハワイ、今まで行ったことになかった西オワフに惹かれてツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
参加者は私たち2人だけでビックリしましたが、ツアーガイドのあきまさん楽しい会話やハワイの歴史や伝説の話で、とても楽しく過ごせました。
カネアナ洞窟では神秘な空気にふれることや、マクア渓谷では神聖なマナを体に感じることができました。とても不思議な感覚を味あわうことができました。
シュノーケリングでは、波によってしまい気分が悪くなってしまって、でもカメと泳ぐことができとてもいい経験になりました。
写真パッケージをオプションしました。素敵な写真を撮ってもらい、とてもよかったです。

For my husband and me, who have pretty much visited all the typical tourist spots, the opportunity to be taken to the uncharted territory of West Oahu caught our attention, so we signed up for this tour.
West Oahu was quite different from the scenery we had seen in other areas of Oahu; it had a strong local flavor and was a very interesting place.
There were no crowds, and we didn't see any Japanese people at all (laughs).
Since there was no need to cross mountains like when going to the North Shore, the views were mostly of the ocean, and I think we could enjoy the drive back and forth without getting bored.
During snorkeling, we saw many beautifully colored fish like those in a guidebook, and we were able to swim alongside a sea turtle that appeared by chance, which was very moving...
The guide is also an underwater photographer, so I think even those who are snorkeling for the first time can feel at ease as they receive careful instruction. (It was also fun in a different way when he dove down to show us a sea urchin!!)
I visit Hawaii twice a year, and next time, I would love to request this guide's private tour to hear more fun stories!
☆ As mentioned in the notes, during snorkeling, you leave everything in the car, so I think it's best not to bring valuables. A little cash for lunch and a towel should be enough. ☆
I hope this is helpful!
典型的な観光地はだいたい行き尽くした私たち夫婦にとって、未踏の地である西オアフに連れて行ってもらえるというのが目にとまり、このツアーを申し込みました。
西オアフは、これまでオアフ島の他の地域で見た景色とは違って、かなりローカル色が強く、とても興味深い場所でした。
人がごった返していることもなく、日本人もまったく見かけません(笑)
ノースショアに行くときのように山を越えることもないので、景色も海が多く、飽きることなくドライブ感覚で行って帰って来られたと思います。
シュノーケリングでは、図鑑で見るような綺麗な色の魚をたくさん見れたり、偶然現れたウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができ、非常に感動的でした。。。
ガイドさんは水中カメラマンもしているので、シュノーケリングが初めての方も丁寧に教えてもらえるので安心できると思います。
(潜ってウニをとって見せてくれたり別の意味でも楽しかったです!!)
年に2回訪れるハワイ、次回は楽しいお話が聞ける、このガイドさんのプライベートツアーをお願いしたいくらいです!
☆注意事項に書かれているとおり、シュノーケリング中は車にすべてを置いて行くので、貴重品は持参しないほうがよいと思います。ランチを購入するための多少の現金とタオルがあれば十分かと☆
参考になれば嬉しいです。
Thank you for your review.
West Oahu really gives you a glimpse of what Hawaii must have been like in the past. Watching the locals, it feels like time starts to slow down...
Snorkeling and ocean activities are our specialty at Hawaii Real Nature Tours. I believe you'll get to see a different side of the ocean, so please come back if you have the chance.
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
西オアフは昔のハワイってこんなんだったんだろうなーという景色ですよね。ローカルを見ているとなんだが時間までゆっくり流れ始めそうな・・
シュノーケルや海のアクティビティはハワイリアルネイチャーツアーの一番得意とするところです。また違う海が見れると思いますのでぜひ機会がありましたらまたお越しくださいませ。

First part of the trip was informative and somewhat interesting. Half way through we stopped for lunch at the Kualoa Ranch ,food was not bad. Then after the lunch break the trip became very boring. Drove along the north shore of the island for well over an hour without stopping to view anything. We then turned inland heading to the Dole Plantation which took another 1/2 an hour plus. Stopped at the plantation for 15 minutes to buy gifts or have a Dole ice cream??. Then it was off to home sweet home. Our Driver Leo was very cordial and informative and generally helpful with the boredom. This tour should at best last the first part of the trip and head back. Sorry

For my first trip to Hawaii, I chose the somewhat offbeat option of West Oahu.
I was able to enjoy snorkeling in a quiet sea with mostly locals and the beautiful greenery of nature.
I heard many interesting stories from our guide that included Hawaii's history and mythology, as well as the potential of West Oahu for the future. Since the tour included participants from various countries, as mentioned in other reviews, I was able to listen to explanations in both Japanese and English, which was also helpful for my English studies. Additionally, it was wonderful to see the guide casually picking up trash from the beach as we went along.
Although it was my first experience with snorkeling, I was able to enjoy it comfortably thanks to the thorough explanations and support. I encountered sea turtles multiple times and even swam close to the surface with them, making it a memorable experience.
初ハワイで、西オアフというマニアックな選択をしました。
観光客はほとんどいない、現地の人達ばかりの静かな海でのシュノケーリングと
緑の綺麗な大自然を満喫できました。
ハワイの歴史や神話を交えたガイドさんの説明やこれからの西オアフの可能性など
興味深い話もたくさん聞くことができました。
外国籍の方も交じってのツアーだったので、他の方の口コミにも書かれていましたが、
日本語と英語両方の説明を聞くことができ、英語の勉強にも少しなって良かったです。
また、行く先々でガイドの方が、浜辺に落ちているゴミをさりげなく拾っていかれる姿は素敵でした。
シュノーケリングは初の経験でしたが、丁寧な説明とサポートのおかげで安心して楽しむことができました。
ウミガメとも複数回遭遇し、一緒に海面近くで泳ぐこともできたりと、思い出に残る経験でした。
Thank you for your review.
West Oahu on weekdays is truly empty, so when snorkeling, you might wonder if you're really in Hawaii because the sea is so quiet during the week.
Our company specializes in snorkeling and ocean activities. We started this tour company to share the joy of the ocean with everyone, especially beginners.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii someday.

Despite the many visitors to Hawaii, not many people talk about West Oahu. The reason isn't a lack of charm, but rather the limited number of tours available.
"I want to go, but I'm a bit anxious. I'm already tired of the typical tours!" This tour's greatest appeal is that it caters to those who seek something different. You can receive valuable local insights from a friendly and wonderful guide that you won't find in books.
If you're looking for a unique experience in Hawaii (though I really don't want to share this...), I highly recommend giving it a try!
こんなにもハワイに訪れる人がいるのに、西オアフを語る人はなぜか多くはありません。その理由は魅力がないのではなく、ツアー自体があまりないからでした。。
「行きたいけどチョット不安。でもありきたりのツアーにはもう飽き飽き!」そんな通な人のかゆい所に手が届くのがこのツアーの最大の魅力です。気さくで素敵なガイドさんから、本にはない貴重な現地の情報が沢山もらえます。
今までとは一味違ったハワイをお求めの方(本当は教えたくないですが…)、ぜひいちど体験してみてください!
Thank you for finding this tour in West Oahu that no one goes to!
Actually, I don't want to share it either, but I want people to know that there is this side of Hawaii!

I participated with a friend.
There were a total of 9 participants (4 Japanese). Surprisingly, there were many foreign participants.
The tour was led by a Japanese guide and a local driver who also served as a guide. Both of them were cheerful and articulate, which was very pleasant.
Since the western side is relatively less safe, it's better to join a tour rather than go individually.
We picked up lunch at a supermarket and the driver stopped the car multiple times at scenic viewpoints, sharing historical stories, information about plants, and local legends. I think those looking for a Hawaii experience beyond the guidebook would be very satisfied.
It was my first time snorkeling, but they taught me gently. (Both guides have qualifications as instructors and lifeguards, so I felt safe.) I was satisfied to see many sea turtles and beautiful fish.
I thought the price was a bit high, but if you're hesitating, I recommend participating.
友人と二人で参加しました。
参加者は全部で9人(日本人4人)
意外と外国の参加者が多くいらっしゃいました。
ツアーは日本人ガイドさんと現地?の運転手さん兼ガイドさんの二人で行ってくださいました。お二人とも明るくハキハキしていて気持ちが良かったです。
西側は比較的治安がよくないため個人で行くよりツアー参加した方が◎
スーパーで昼食を調達したり現地の眺望ポイントで何度も車を停めて下さり、歴史的な話、植物についての話、その地に伝わる伝説など教えてくださったりとガイドブック以外のハワイをお求めの方には大満足なのではないかと思います。
シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが優しく教えていただきました。(ガイドのお二人共インストラクターやライフセーバーなど資格を持っているそうですので安心かと思います。)
ウミガメや美しい魚を多く見ることができて満足でした。
料金は気持ち高め?とも思いましたが迷っているならば参加することをおすすめいたします。
Thank you for your review.
Since West Oahu is still a lesser-known area, I believe you were able to experience the rich local culture of Oahu Island.
Regarding the pricing, our company operates on a small group basis (up to 9 people), so when compared to large buses or bigger tour companies, the cost per person inevitably becomes higher.
However, the small group size allows for a more personalized experience, such as snorkeling, where we can pay attention to each individual. I think this creates a tour experience that you wouldn't find in larger bus tours.
I would appreciate it if you could take this into consideration when thinking about the pricing.

西オアフはまだまだ知られていない場所なので、ローカル色がとても濃いオアフ島を見ていただけたかと思います。
料金ですが、当社は少人数制(9人まで)としておりますので大型バスや大きなツアー会社さんと比較されてしまいますとどうしても一人ひとりのお値段が高くなってしまいます。
少人数だから出来ること、シュノーケルなども一人ひとりに目が行き届く範囲の人数設定となっておりますので、大人数のバスツアーでは体験できないようなツアーになっているかと思います。
その辺を考慮して料金のことを考えていただければ幸いです。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to explore various places and chose a tour of West Oahu.
Since there weren't many West Oahu tours available, I was interested and decided to participate.
We visited caves and experienced snorkeling in beautiful waters, which created wonderful memories. At first, I honestly thought it would just be a tour where we went directly to the ocean to snorkel for a few hours and see turtles, but it was completely different. We were taken to caves and various spots before reaching the ocean.
Additionally, the guide provided detailed explanations about the origins and meanings of all the places we visited, which was very clear and really great.
It was also a pleasant surprise to have photos taken at each location. Since it was just the two of us participating this time, it felt like a private tour, which was quite lucky.
Finally, when we dove into the ocean, there were fewer fish than I expected, but the water was very beautiful, and I was moved to see two turtles. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful sightseeing and snorkeling experience, and I am very thankful to our guide. Thank you so much.
It seems they offer various tours and private tours, so I plan to rely on them again when I visit Hawaii next time.

Among the tours that mostly offer pick-up from Waikiki, this one provided pick-up from Ko Olina and had a Japanese-speaking guide, which I thought was unique, so I decided to participate. There were a total of 9 people, half foreigners and half Japanese, making it a small group. The driver was Bob, and the Japanese guide was Akima. Inside the vehicle, we could listen to both English and Japanese guides, which was a nice bonus. It also helped with my English conversation practice (laughs).
We stopped at multiple points on the west side, and we could get off the car frequently, allowing us to take photos at a leisurely pace. The guide was very attentive and made the experience enjoyable. The stories that included various Hawaiian myths and legends were very interesting.
The final snorkeling experience was well-organized and suitable for beginners, allowing everyone to participate with confidence. It was my first time entering the water from the sandy beach, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle right away, swimming close by. It was incredibly adorable.
This tour made me fall in love with Hawaii even more. I definitely want to find the mountain naupaka! Although I come once a year, I hope to rely on other tours when I come back. Thank you very much.

You have to walk to the nearby hotel for the pickup, but they will take you back, so it's reassuring. I recommend it for both repeat visitors and first-timers, and it's great that they take you to places you wouldn't normally go. The main event, snorkeling, is well taken care of, so it's fine for beginners and those over sixty.
Since you can get quite sunburned, it might be a good idea to have sunscreen ready to apply right after you get out. Anyway, I'm grateful for this tour. I want to go snorkeling in the North again, so see you next year! ♡
ピックアップは近くのホテルまで歩かないと行けないけど帰りは送ってくれるので安心。リピートの人にも初めての人にもおすすめで、なかなか行かないところに連れて行ってくれるのがいい。メインイベントのシュノーケリングも面倒をみてもらえるので初めての人、還暦過ぎ人も大丈夫。

Aloha Ms Cueno, we are very sorry to hear that the driver was not clear about things an only talked about food.
We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?

Henry was an awesome tour guide. The circle island tour was fantastic. All the activities at the Polynesian Cultural Cdnter were fantastic including the luau and night show.

It was great, i got picked up and he drove out to the northshore, showed us around the town and then the activities started. He was very available to pickup after each activity and drop you off where you wanted to go. Waterfall, snorkeling, shrimp truck, beach time & stand up paddle board, it was great. There are other activities to pick from. He even stopped because he saw a sea turtle was sitting on the beach, so we could see it and take pics, it was great!

This tour is a great way to see and experience the North Shore from the land and in the water. Our tour guide (HC) knew his way around the island like nobody's business. He went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. Plenty of time for snorkeling, bike riding, checking out waterfalls, SUP or kayaking AND SHOPPING! I highly recommend!

Our first scheduled tour was cancelled last minute for unknown reasons, but luckily we were able to reschedule for later in our vacation.
Anyways, it was pretty fun. The jeep was closed-topped and air conditioned; fairly comfortable.
Tour guide was great; laid back and flexible.
We didn't really spend much time at the Dole plantation. We didn't go to a coffee plantation, but did stop at a macadamia shop. We didn't stop at Byodo temple. We skipped lunch, but did stop at a fruit stand. We stopped at several scenic points of interest, but as expected, a lot of the time was spent getting from place to place. We did do a small hike, which I guess I might have missed that in the description as I was unprepared..bring shoes!
Decent tour if you prefer a small group (we were paired with one other couple).

Thank you for your review.
Since this tour is still not widely known, it sometimes feels like a private tour.
I'm really glad you were able to experience the different world of West Oahu, feeling the mana and power, separate from Waikiki and the North Shore.
We look forward to welcoming you again!
Aloha,

レビューありがとうございます。
まだまだ知られていないツアーなので、時々、プライベートツアー状態です。
ワイキキやノースショアとはまた別の世界の西オアフ、マナやパワーと感じていただけて本当に良かったです。
またぜひお待ちしております!
