Oahu
I searched for a tour to the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout to experience the strong winds and scenery that surprised me during my honeymoon 26 years ago, but I could only find this one, which was in English, so I signed up.
The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout was still as windy as ever. It brought back memories, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.
The Byodoin Temple looked a bit shabby to someone who knows the real one in Uji, Kyoto, but its presence standing in the tropical rainforest was interesting in its own way.
I should have done proper research on which shops to aim for in Haleiwa Town. However, even with a spontaneous approach, I managed to encounter unexpected deliciousness and fun.
When I ordered soft serve ice cream at the Dole Plantation, the portion was so large that even my husband and I couldn't finish it. An American elderly couple sitting at the same table was struggling with it too. The pineapple flavor was incredibly delicious.
I only passed through downtown, but since it’s a business district, it seemed completely deserted on Saturday.
Returning to Waikiki and reflecting on the journey, I felt the "smallness" of Oahu. This is the Hawaiian Islands, needless to say.
新婚旅行時に驚かされた強風と景観を26年ぶりに感じたくてヌウアヌ・パリ展望台に行くツアーを探したけれど、これしか見つからず、英語のみでしたが、申し込みました。
そのヌウアヌ・パリ展望台は、相変わらず強風。思い出が蘇り感無量でした。
平等院は、京都宇治の本物を知る身にはしょぼく見えましたが、熱帯雨林の中に立つ姿はそれなりに面白いです。
ハレイワタウンは、どの店を目指すか下調べをきちんとしておくべきでした。しかし、行き当たりばったりでも何とかなり、思わぬ美味しさと楽しさに出合えました。
ドールプランテーションでソフトクリームを注文したら、夫婦2人でも食べ切れないほどの量。同じテーブルに座ったアメリカンな老夫婦も苦労していました。パイン風味がすごく美味しかったです。
ダウンタウンは通過しただけですが、ビジネスタウンなので土曜日は人っ子ひとりいないようでした。
ワイキキへ戻って来て、道程を振り返り、オアフ島の「小ささ」を感じました。ここはハワイ諸島なんですね、言うまでもなく。
On the bus, the driver keeps talking. I recommend downloading a translation app on your smartphone and using the simultaneous interpretation mode. I was even able to laugh at the jokes. Above all, it'
バスの中、ドライバーは語りっぱなしです。スマホに翻訳アプリを入れ、同時通訳モードで使うことを勧めます。私はジョークにも笑うことができました。何よりも、バスに戻る時刻をしっかりと確認できて助かりますよ。
Thank you very much for participating as a couple in our Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour since your honeymoon. I'm sure you both had many wonderful memories at the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout, a place filled with memories. Although it was an English tour, we are very pleased that you enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターで行くグランドサークルアイランドツアーに新婚旅行以来ご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございます。思い出の場所のヌウアヌ・パリ展望台にてお二人で沢山の思い出話に花が咲いた事でしょう。英語のツアーではありますが楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。また次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
We had a wonderful experience as a family of 10 on our tour to Waimea Valley! The breakfast was a great start! Our tour guide, Jason, was full of great facts as we drove along the way to our destinations! Weimea definitely exceeded my expectations in beauty! Jason shared facts about the flora and fauna surrounding us. The walked is paved but does have some inclines along the way. The walk was great for the whole family but my elderly parents had to move slower behind the group at their own pace. The waterfall was perfect. There is “audience style seating” for families to sit if not swimming and to place items. Life jackets are required and provided which was nice and the life guards that are on duty are very helpful. The tour gives 30 minutes to enjoy the waterfall swimming which was a great amount of time. Lunch was then given after a walk back to the entrance of Waimea. Although lunch is provided and was very good- for picky eaters or hungry along the way- there are snack bars and a walk up style restaurant to order other food.
After leaving Waimea we went to Dole where we had plenty of time to walk around the gift shop and enjoy our Dole Whip. This tour was a hit with the family and definitely would recommend it!
If you are not able to walk long distances- this may be a harder tour.
Aloha, thank you so much for joining our Nature and You:Waimea tour and this incredibly detailed and heartwarming review!🌺
It's fantastic to hear that the breakfast was a great start and that Jason's insightful commentary about the local flora and fauna truly enhanced your experience. Waimea Valley's beauty truly is something special, and we're delighted it exceeded your expectations. We appreciate you highlighting details. Those insights are so helpful for future guests. We're also glad the 30 minutes at the waterfall was just right and that lunch was enjoyed by all. Your note about the walking distance being a consideration for some is very helpful and something we truly appreciate you sharing.
The Dole Plantation stop for gift shopping and Dole Whip is always a favorite, and we're thrilled it was a perfect end to your family's day.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another exciting adventure soon.
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
If you sit in the right-side seat on the bus, you can enjoy the ocean view the whole time! It's a good idea to pay attention to the gathering times at each location, as they will be announced in Engli
バスの座席については右側の席に座ると海側の景色がずっと見れます!
各場所の集合時間は英語で言われるのでよく聞いておくほうが良いです
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour as a couple. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed Oahu so much. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターで行くグランドサークルアイランドツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございます。オアフ島沢山楽しんで頂いたようで私達も大変嬉しい思いでいっぱいです。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。また次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
Wish we could do this tour every day forever! Such a fantastic way to explore the highlights of Oahu in one day.
The small-group vibe this tour offered was what we loved most, making it feel more personal and comfortable. Each location gave us a perfect taste of the island’s beauty!
The guide was knowledgeable and personable, adding local insight that made the journey feel authentic.
I was torn between renting a car, taking a taxi, or chartering a vehicle, but considering the information about the carriage that allows you to see sea turtles, the left-hand drive, and having a 2-year-old child, I decided to go with the charter this time.
It was comfortable and smooth, and I was guided to a spot where I could see many sea turtles swimming up close. The little tidbits about Hawaii during the trip were also helpful, and I would like to request this service again next time.
レンタカーかタクシーかでチャーターかで悩みましたが、ウミガメを見れる馬車の情報や左ハンドル、2歳の子供もいるということもあり今回はチャーターにしました。
快適にスムーズに回れましてし、ウミガメが見れる場所にも案内頂き沢山の近くで泳いでるウミガメを見ることができました。
移動中のハワイの小ネタなども参考になり、また次回もお願いしたいと思います。
The Pineapple Express at Dole Plantation has a ride time of 20 minutes, but it can take longer if you have to wait in line. Even on weekday mornings in June, it can be crowded enough that you might mi
ドール農園のパイナップルエクスプレスは乗車時間は20分ですが、並ぶと時間がかかるることもあるようです。
6月の平日朝一でも1回見送るくらい混み具合なので土日は1時間半ほど余裕を見た方が良さそうです。
Thank you for the high rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The pineapple express at Dole Plantation and the secret spot to see sea turtles have received great reviews from families with children. Mahalo~ 🤙🏼
高評価⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ありがとうございます。
ドール農園のパイナップル🍍エクスプレスと、海亀🐢が見れる秘密の場所は、お子様連れの方に大好評を頂いております。マハロ〜🤙🏼
I had a lot of fun and enjoyed various stunning views! Thank you so much! 😊 They had water prepared for us, so we didn't struggle with the heat at all! 🤭
知識も豊富で、いろんな絶景も楽しめました❗️とにかく楽しかったです❗️ありがとうございます😊お水用意してくれていたので,暑さにも負けませんでした〜🤭
The attention to detail was excellent!
気配りがとても良かったですよ❗️
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。
There may not be artificial fun, but you can feel the old-fashioned Hawaii, so I think it's especially good for those who can find joy in that without any special preparations.
人工的な楽しさはありませんが昔ながらのハワイを感じることが出来るので
そのことに楽しみを感じられる人であれば特に用意はなくても良いと思います。
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🙌
For Japanese people, the air conditioning in the car might be a bit strong, so it would be good to have a light jacket that doesn't let the wind through. If you check what you want to eat in Haleiwa i
日本人には少し車内の冷房が強いかもなので風を通さない薄い上着があれば良いですと自由行動用のハレイワは事前に食べたい物チェックしていたらスムーズ🙆
Thank you very much for participating in our Grand Circle Island Tour with your family. We are honored to have helped create wonderful memories for your family, including learning about the history of Oahu and tasting delicious garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town. We also appreciate your very positive review. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のグランドサークルアイランドツアーにご家族でで参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。
オアフ島の歴史そして、ハレイワタウンでの美味しいガーリックシュリンプの食べ比べもできて、今回ご家族にとって素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。大変良い口コミも有難うございました。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
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。
As long as I know the meeting place and time in English, I felt comfortable participating in the English tour. The meeting point is at the bus drop-off location, and the time is clearly repeated sever
英語は最低限集合場所と集合時間がわかれば問題ないので、英語ツアーでも参加して大丈夫だと感じました。場所はバス集合(降りたところ)ですし、時間はわかりやすく何度も繰り返してくれるので安心でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our Haleiwa Express & Dole Plantation tour with your spouse. We are honored that we could help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii, and we are glad to hear that you were overall satisfied. Thank you for the delicious-looking photo of the Dole soft serve as well. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度は私共のハレイワエクスプレス&ドールプランテーションツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。
全体的にご満足してして頂きそして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。美味しそうなドールソフトのお写真も有難う御座います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
We joined the North Shore, Turtle Watch, Dole, and Macadamia Nut Farm tour, Stephanie was our guide and she kinda did things her way. It was nice she gave us several options to stop at beaches that weren’t necessarily on the list and she gave us suggestions on the food trucks to try at the old Sugar Plantation. But it was also a bit awkward when she will just talk about random things to fill the dead air, for instance she pointed out every passing McDonalds, Cheesecake Factory which I’m pretty sure isn’t particularly useful info to learn about Honolulu or the Hawaiian culture. But that’s neither here or there, the disappointment came to the Turtle Watch part, we just skipped it, she took us to the beaches where we’re supposed to find them, slowly drove and asked we saw anything (as the van was moving) then proceeded to concluded that there were probably none. After driving for at least another mile of the same slow drive and deduction, she asked if any of us was interested in going back to the first place where we thought there was something due to the crowds surrounding something and taking pictures, we didn’t saw anything yet, then she said if we did we would have to walk back one mile by ourselves, as traffic was bad and she wasn’t about to turn back.
Frankly, we joined the tour for the turtle Watch. To be just brushed off like that was disappointing and we felt a bit scammed,
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!
Do this trip on your first day here.
I was able to see breathtaking views at several locations. I also got to sample malasadas and other sweets. The garlic shrimp for lunch was delicious. I especially enjoyed exploring the East Coast thoroughly.
何か所も絶景が見れました。また、マラサダや他のお菓子などの試食もできました。お昼のガーリックシュリンプもおいしかったです。とくに東海岸を丁寧に回れました。
Since I will be having malasadas in the morning, I think it's better to have a light breakfast.
マラサダを午前中に食べるので、朝ご飯は軽めのほうがいいかと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the "Island and You" tour.
As you mentioned, one of the great features of this tour is that it efficiently takes you to spots that are difficult to visit without a car, allowing you to experience the deep charm of Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to thoroughly enjoy the tour while exploring the East Coast.
Also, thank you for your valuable advice about having a light breakfast! The tour offers a variety of delicious foods unique to Hawaii, so it might be best to join on an empty stomach. We will definitely use this information to guide future participants.
We sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again in Hawaii!
アロハ!この度は「アイランド・アンド・ユー」ツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
おっしゃる通り、車がないと訪れにくいスポットや、ハワイのディープな魅力を効率よく巡れることが、このツアーの大きな特徴です。お客様に丁寧に東海岸を回っていただけたとのことで、ツアーの魅力をしっかり感じていただけたことを大変嬉しく思います。
また、「朝食は軽めに」といった貴重なアドバイスもありがとうございます!ツアーではマラサダをはじめ、ハワイならではの美味しい食べ物が盛りだくさんですので、空腹でご参加いただくのがベストかもしれませんね。今後ご参加されるお客様への参考として、ぜひご案内に活かさせていただきます。
またハワイでお会いできる日を、スタッフ一同心より楽しみにしております!
Had a fantastic tour around the island. We had short stops at all the places of interest. The highlight of the day was seeing turtles coming out of the water onto the beach.
It was a very full day with lots to see and great it was a small group.
It would have been great to make a stop at Haleiwa as it looked interesting but we were running out of time.
Overall a fantastic day
On the second day of our arrival, I was worried about my health, but I enjoyed the great nature and delicious food of Hawaii from morning until evening. Our guide, J, drove safely and was very considerate, stopping at places not on the schedule while checking the situation, and taking photos for us at each destination. I can't thank him enough. There were three other groups of participants besides us, and everyone was very kind, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you for your hard work, J. I would love to join again!
到着2日目で体調が心配でしたが、朝から夕までハワイの大自然と美味しいものを満喫しました。
ガイドのJさんは安全運転かつ、とても気が利いた方で、スケジュールにはない場所も様子を見ながら寄ってくださったり、行く先々で写真を撮ってくださったり、感謝しかありません。
ツアー参加者は私たち以外に3組いらっしゃいましたが、みなさんとても優しかったので、リラックスして過ごせました。
ガイドのJさん、お疲れさまでした。
また参加したい!
The tour may run a bit longer, so I recommend planning your dinner reservations with some extra time in mind.
ツアー時間が多少伸びるかもしれませんので、夕食の予約などはお時間に余裕を持って計画されるとよいと思います。
I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go. Our guide, Ken, was fantastic and taught us a lot about Hawaii. I can't write everything here, but he also shared some hidden gems with us. Hawaii isn't a place I can visit often, but when I do go again, I will definitely reach out for help.
全ての行きたい所に行けました。ガイドのKENさんも、色々ハワイの事を教えて頂き、サイコーでした。ここには書けませんが、穴場なども教えて頂きました。ハワイには、なかなか行ける場所ではないですが、行く時は、是非またお願いいたします。
I recommend letting them know in advance where you want to go and what you want to do. I've heard there are beach resorts with showers as well. As long as the car doesn't get dirty or retain odors, it
自分の、行きたい所、やりたい事を事前に伝えておくことおすすめします。シャワーがある海水浴もあるそうです。車内さえ汚れたり、匂いが残らなければ、良いそうです。
Thank you for the highest rating! Safety first moving forward! I will continue to strive to ensure you have an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much. Mahalo! 🤙🏼
最高評価⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ありがとうございました! 今後も安全第一! 又、楽しんで頂ける様に心がけていきたいと思っております。 どうぞ宜しくお願いします。マハロ〜🤙🏼
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!!!
I decided on this tour after arriving in Hawaii. The day after I made the reservation on my smartphone, the tour company contacted me in Japanese to confirm my booking and kindly provided details about the meeting place. The meeting time on the day of the tour was reasonable, which was great.
We started off by eating malasadas right away, and then we stopped at various places, which gave us plenty of opportunities to take photos. We also visited a macadamia nut farm where we got to taste samples and pick up some souvenirs.
For lunch, we had garlic shrimp, which was delicious. After that, we had something like banana spring rolls for dessert. At the North Shore, we were able to see sea turtles as well. The food was included in the tour, making it a fulfilling day overall.
ハワイに到着してからこのツアーを決めました。
スマホで予約した翌日には催行会社の方から日本語で予約確認が入り、集合場所も丁寧に教えてくれました。
当日の集合時間も無理ない時間で、良かったです。
出発して直にマラサダを食べ、その後、色々な場所に止まり、結構写真を撮る機会が多くありました。
またマカダミアナッツファームにも寄って味見しながらお土産をゲット。
ランチはガーリックシュリンプ🦐。
美味しかったです。
その後、バナナの春巻きのようなものがデザートで。
ノースショアではウミガメも見ることができました。
食べ物もツアーに含まれていて、1日充実したツアーでした。
The guide explains everything in both English and Japanese, so there's no problem at all. You can enjoy the day fully. I recommend it.
ガイドさんも英語と日本語で説明してくれるので全く大丈夫です。
1日を楽しく楽しめます。
おすすめです。
Thank you very much for participating in the "Island and You" tour.
We are relieved to hear that you were able to arrive smoothly at the meeting point. We consider it one of our important roles to provide clear guidance to our customers, so we are pleased to have been able to assist you in that regard.
It seems you enjoyed the unique foods of Hawaii during the tour and took many photos at each spot. We were very happy to see that you had a fulfilling day.
Thank you for your kind words about our guide's explanations in both English and Japanese. It is very gratifying for us to know that you were able to enjoy the tour without any concerns regarding language.
It was indeed lucky to encounter a sea turtle on the North Shore! Since they are not guaranteed to be seen every day, it must have been a special experience for you.
We look forward to the opportunity to see you again on another tour when you visit Hawaii.
この度は「アイランド・アンド・ユー」ツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
お迎え場所までスムーズにお越しいただけたとのこと、安心いたしました。お客様に分かりやすくご案内を差し上げることも、私たちの大切な役割のひとつと考えておりますので、そのお手伝いができたことを嬉しく思います。

ノースショアでウミガメに出会えたのも、まさにラッキーでしたね!毎日必ず見られるわけではないので、特別な体験になったことと思います。
またハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひ別のツアーでもお会いできることを楽しみにしております。
I learned about the wonderful aspects of Hawaii beyond Waikiki. It was not just about seeing the scenery; I enjoyed it even more thanks to the guide's explanations. The guide was incredibly fun, and it became a great memory.
ワイキキ以外のハワイの素晴らしいところが知れました。ただ景色を見るだけじゃなくガイドさんの説明でより深く楽しめました。
ガイドさんが最高に楽しい方でいい思い出になりました。
Since there are many places with strong winds, please be careful with hats and skirts.
風が強いとこが多いので帽子やスカートの方は気をつけてください
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback.
We are truly honored to hear that you enjoyed the charms of Hawaii beyond Waikiki through our guide's assistance. It brings us great joy that you were able to experience not only the scenery but also the background and culture of the area, which is our primary goal for the tour.
We also appreciate your kind words about our guide. We are delighted to see that it became a memorable experience for you.
Thank you for your advice regarding clothing for windy locations. We will certainly use this information to assist future participants!
We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii!
この度は嬉しいご感想をお寄せいただき、誠にありがとうございます。
ワイキキ以外のハワイの魅力を、ガイドのご案内を通して深くお楽しみいただけたとのこと、大変光栄に思います。景色だけでなく、その土地の背景や文化に触れていただけたことが、私たちにとってツアーを最高する目的であり、何よりの喜びです。
また、ガイドに対する温かなお言葉もありがとうございます。楽しい思い出として心に残る体験となったこと、スタッフ一同大変嬉しく拝見いたしました。
風の強い場所での服装に関するアドバイスも誠にありがとうございます。今後ご参加いただくお客様へのご案内にも活用させていただきます!
またハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
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。
I think it would be good if there are people who can understand simple English. It would be tough if no one understands. At the doll park, there are three types of tickets: train, garden stroll, and m
簡単な英語でもわかる方がいると良いと思います。全員がわからないと厳しいです。ドールでは、列車とガーデン散策と迷路の3種類のチケットがあり、列車とガーデン散策を購入しましたが列車のみで十分でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our Haleiwa Express & Dole Plantation tour with your family. We are honored that you were satisfied overall and that we could help create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We also appreciate the photos you shared. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you again in the future.
この度は私共のハレイワエクスプレス&ドールプランテーション ツアーにご家族でで参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。
全体的にご満足してして頂きそして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。お写真も有難う御座います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
In Haleiwa, the weather was unfortunately rainy and quite strong, but I was glad to be able to shop at the store I wanted to visit. Especially, the Florence apparel is hard to find in Waikiki, and it seemed to have just opened, so I felt lucky. I don't want to drive overseas, so I've relied on them a few times. I also took some cute photos of a cat on the beach, which I really like.
ハレイワでは、雨が強く降ったりあいにくの天気でしたが、行きたかったショップで買い物が出来て良かったです。特にFlorenceのウェアはワイキキではなかなか手に入らないし、OPEN間もないようでラッキーでした。海外で運転したくないので、何回かお世話になっています。海岸で可愛いネコさんの写真も撮れて気にいっています。
Even if the weather is nice in Waikiki, it can be rainy in Haleiwa, so bring a foldable umbrella.
ワイキキが良い天気でもハレイワは雨という事もあるので折り畳み傘を。
First of all, the hospitality from the guide was excellent. They were very considerate, and I was able to enjoy my time comfortably.
I think the tour content was good, but if I had to be picky, I would have liked a few more unique programs (like places or shops not listed in guidebooks).
I would like to request plans from this tour company in the future. I definitely recommend it.
まずガイドの方のおもてなしは最高でした
とても気遣って頂き気持ち良く過ごせました
ツアーの内容は良かったと思いますが
欲を言えばもう少しレアなプログラムが有れば良いかと思います
(ガイドブックに載って無い店や場所とか)
今後もこのツアー会社さんのプランをお願いしたいと思います
ぜひお勧めです
The quality of the tour company determines whether you can have a pleasant experience. I have had an experience where I had to cancel because five people were crammed into a Prius.

I love Hawaii, and my first visit was 52 years ago. After that, I went on my honeymoon, and since my children have grown up, I've been to Hawaii several times. During those visits, I drove to the North Shore after the highway was built. This time, I participated in a one-day tour of Oahu for the first time, and it brought back so many memories.
First, the tour guide asked us where we wanted to go, and he mentioned the power spot of Shohei Ohtani. More than anything, I loved feeling the Hawaiian breeze from Kahala to Hanauma Bay and the Halona Blowhole. I touched the rock at Ohtani's power spot and felt energized. I experienced the local Hawaiian roads and went to Sunset Beach, which felt like it hadn't changed at all, and I was very moved.
I often visit Haleiwa Town, so I wasn't particularly interested in that, but I wanted to go to Tropical Farms after seeing it on TV. We had plenty of samples, and cracking open the macadamia nuts was the most delicious experience I've ever had. My husband and I are already thinking about which tour to take for our trip to Hawaii next year. This time was a wonderful experience, and I'm so glad I could do it. Thank you very much.
私はハワイが大好きで一番最初は52年前その後は新婚旅行 子供達が大きくなってからのハワイは数回目で そのうちに高速もできてレンタカーを借りてはノースショアの方まで行く行きましたが 今回は初めてオアフ島1日観光ツアーに参加して懐かしいの連発でした まずはツアーが私達2人でガイドさんが希望の所と言われ大谷選手のパワースポットと言っていました 何よりハワイの一番好きなカハラからハナウマベイ ハロナ潮吹き岩まさしくハワイの風をを感じ大谷君のパワースポットの岩を触ってパワーを頂き ローカルなハワイロードを感じサンセットビーチへここまでは何も変わっていない感じですごく感激でした ハレイワタウンは良く来るので興味なしと言ってトロピカルファームはテレビで見て行きたいと言って試食たっぷりして何よりマカデミアナッツを割って頂いたのは最高に美味しかったです今まで食べたことのない体験もでき主人と来年のハワイはどのツアーにしようと今から考えています 今回はとても良い経験で出来て嬉しかったです
有難うございます。
I visited Iolani Palace last year, and it was very good. The downtown tour is also good in terms of safety, so I want to participate next year.
イオラニ宮殿は昨年行ってきましたがとても良かったです
ダウンタウンツアーも治安の面でツアーが良いので来年は参加したいです
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.
The booking process is easy. Tour driver was very on time and helpful.
On the first day, which I was very anxious about, I used the airport transfer service and headed to the meeting point. When I found the car and greeted the driver, KEN, who spoke fluent Japanese, welcomed me with a smile. After I communicated all the places I wanted to visit, he suggested an efficient order considering the store opening times. During the ride, he taught me various things about Hawaii, which was both educational and enjoyable. He also introduced me to many delicious local restaurants that tourists typically don't go to. The hamburger place he recommended was truly delicious. I was very glad to use this service and would like to use it again. Thank you, KEN!
とても不安だった1日目、空港送迎を利用し待ち合わせ場所まで向かいました。車を見つけ挨拶をすると日本語がペラペラのKENさんが笑顔で出迎えてくれました。行きたい場所を全て伝えると、お店のオープン時間なども考慮して効率の良い順番を提案してくれました。移動中はハワイの事をいろいろ教えてくれて勉強にもなり楽しかったです。観光客が行かないようなローカルの美味しいお店もたくさん教えてくれました。オススメしてもらったハンバーガー屋さんも本当に美味しかったです。こちらを利用してとても良かったです。また利用したいです。KENさんありがとうございました!
Thank you for the highest rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I'm glad that your anxiety about the airport pickup was alleviated. I am knowledgeable about local ingredients, so I introduce recommended places that you can't find in Japan. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it. Please feel free to contact me again when you visit Hawaii. Mahalo 🤙🏼
最高の高評価 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ありがとうございました。空港でのお迎え時の不安が解消できて良かったです。
ローカルの食材にも詳しいので、日本では食べれない様な おすすめ店を紹介しています。喜んでくださって、とても嬉しく思います。
又、ハワイに いらした際には ご連絡くださいませ。 マハロ🤙🏼
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。
The scheduled arrival time was 16:00, but it was actually 16:30. Since the travel distance is long and can be affected by traffic conditions, I think it's better to allow some extra time for the next
到着時間はスケジュールでは16:00でしたが16:30でした。移動距離が長く道路の混み具合によって左右されると思うので、次の予定は余裕を持っておいた方が良いかと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our Grand Circle Island Tour as a couple. We are very pleased that you were able to visit the wonderful sightseeing spots in Hawaii and conquer your desired locations in Haleiwa. We also appreciate the lovely photos and your review. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のグランドサークルアイランドツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。ハワイの素敵な観光地周りとハレイワでもお目当ての場所が制覇できたのを大変嬉しく思います。素敵なお写真と口コミも有難う御座います。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
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!
It's better for those who cannot speak English to refrain from going. The weather in the mountains can change easily, and especially in Dole, it seems to rain often.
英語が全く話せない人はやめたほうがいいです。
山は天気が代わりやすく、特にドールは雨が降りやすい気がする。
Thank you very much for participating in our Haleiwa Express & Dole Plantation tour as a couple. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the English conversation. It was lucky that you encountered a honu as well. Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のハレイワエクスプレス&ドールプランテーション ツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。
英会話を楽しんでいただけたようで本当に嬉しく思っております。ホヌにも巡り合えてラッキーでしたね。ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことをスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I have visited Oahu several times for free, but this time I wanted a local guide, so I requested this service. The driver was Ken, who is from Okinawa. He explained the tourist spots and recommended shops, allowing us to visit places we wouldn't have gone to on our own, which was great. It was also wonderful to visit places like Balanced Rock and other shops outside of the requested course. The Lincoln was beautiful, spacious, and the ride was excellent.
オアフ島は何度かフリーで訪れていますが今回現地のガイドが欲しいと思いコチラにお願いしました。
ドライバーは沖縄県出身のケンさんでした。
観光ガイド、お勧めのお店等説明してくれて自分達では行かないお店に行けてお願いして良かったです。リクエストしたコース以外もバランス岩やお店に行く事も出て最高でした。
リンカーンもキレイで広く、乗り心地も最高でした。
Driver Ken is kind and there's no need to worry about his Japanese. He always pays attention to the restrooms and informs us in advance about their locations and how to use them.
ドライバーのケンさん、親切で日本語も心配有りません。
トイレも常に気にしてくれて、事前に場所と使い方を教えてくれます。
Thank you for the 5-star rating and your wonderful comments! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the bilingual experience with Ken and the American vibe of the Lincoln Navigator. Mahalo~ 🤙🏼
5スター⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️の最高の評価とコメントありがとうございます😊
バイリンガルのKenとリンカーンナビゲーターのアメリカン🇺🇸な気分をお楽しみ頂けて嬉しいです。
マハロ〜🤙🏼
