Unlike Oahu, I was able to enjoy nature at a leisurely pace. Our guide, Sumako, was absolutely wonderful. She paid attention to everyone and guided us through the tour, making it enjoyable and pleasant. Thank you very much!
オアフ島とはまた違って、ゆったりと自然を楽しむことが出来ました。ガイドのすまこさんが最高に良かったです。全員に気を配ってお話を進めてくださったので、楽しく気持ちよく観光できました。ありがとうございました!

I have traveled to Hawaii countless times, but I had never been to Kauai Island, so I booked a day tour for the first time. The natural beauty of Kauai Island was very healing. Along the way, I accidentally dropped my cellphone somewhere, and I apologize for the trouble it caused to my fellow passengers and the driver.
ハワイ旅行は、数えきれないほど行っているのですが、カウアイ島に行ったことがなく、初めて一日観光を申し込みました。
自然の残るカウアイ島はとても癒されました。
途中、携帯電話を何処かに落としてしまい、同乗の方や運転手さんにご迷惑をおかけしてしまいた。

The movie location tour was very interesting. Not only did we see Jurassic Park, but we also got to see sets from Godzilla and Journey to the Center of the Earth 2. At the site of the large tree used in Jurassic Park, we could get off the bus and take photos. It was fun to drive around the vast Kualoa Ranch by bus. From what I could see from the bus, horseback riding just looked like sitting on a horse and walking, so it didn't seem very exciting. Riding in the jeep on the bumpy road was quite thrilling.
映画ロケ地巡りがとても面白かったです。
ジュラシックパークだけではなく、ゴジラやセンターオブジアース2等のセットも見ることが出来ました。
ジュラシックパークで使われた大木の所では、バスから降りて写真撮影も行えます。
広大なクアロア牧場をバスでぐるっと回れて楽しいです。
このバスから見えた限りでは、乗馬はただ馬に跨って歩いているだけに見えたので、あまり面白そうには思えませんでした。
ジープではでこぼこ道を走ってなかなかスリルがありました。

This was my second half-day tour. I applied just by seeing "half-day tour" online, so I didn't realize that the activities available were limited. Due to a mistake in the guide's explanation, after waiting for my turn, I was told, "With this band color, you cannot go horseback riding," which was disappointing. If I had known in advance, I could have paid an additional fee to upgrade, but unfortunately, I didn't have the time.
Recently, it seems that the display has changed, and the available activities are listed, but I think it would be clearer to state, "Horseback riding is not available on this course." (By the way, upgrading is cheaper.) Also, since the guide for the pickup and drop-off is different, I couldn't ask immediately, and while I was having it confirmed at the reception, time passed, and I regret that time was wasted.
I think movie location tours and jeep tours can be enjoyable regardless of how many times you go, as the fun varies depending on the guide and the members you ride with.
2回目の半日ツアーでした。
ネットで「半日ツアー」とだけ見て申し込んだので、選べるアクティビティが限られていることがわかっていなかったのと、ガイドさんの説明間違いで、待って順番が回って来てから「このバンドの色では、乗馬はできません。」と言われ、がっかりしました。前もってわかっていれば、追加料金を払ってアップグレードできたのですが、時間がなくて残念でした。
最近では、表示が変わって、選べるアクティビティが書かれているようですが、「このコースでは乗馬はできません」と書いてあった方がわかりやすいと思います。(ちなみにアップグレードした方が安いです。)
また、送り迎えのガイドさんが違うので、すぐに尋ねようがなく、受付で確認してもらっているうちに時間がたってしまい、時間が無駄になったことが悔やまれます。
映画ロケ地めぐりツアーやジープツアーは、ガイドさんや乗ったメンバーによって面白さが違うので、何回行っても楽しめる内容だと思います。
Thank you for your second visit, P-chan.
At Alan1, we offer both the "Adventure" course and the "Experience" course.
Next time, please make sure to choose the "Adventure" course to avoid any mistakes.
The movie village bus tour features narrations arranged by each guide, so as you mentioned, you can enjoy it multiple times.
We look forward to your next visit!
ぴーちゃんさん
2回目のご来場、有難うございました。
Alan1さんでは”アドベンチャー”コース、”エクスペリエンス”コースの両方を扱っていただいています。
今度は間違えないように、”アドベンチャー”コースを選んでくださいね。
映画村バスツアーは、ガイドがそれぞれアレンジしたナレーションをするので、仰るとおり、何回でも楽しめます。
またのお越しをお待ちしております!

Kauai Island, the last stop after conquering Maui and Hawaii Island...
I knew it was rural, but there are hardly any traffic signals!
However, the stories from our guide, Mr. Abe, who is married to a second-generation Japanese American, were fascinating.
It's a mysterious island where Shabo chickens roam freely!
I recommend it for those who want to relax.
マウイ島、ハワイ島を制覇して最後に訪れたカウアイ島・・・
田舎とは分かっていましたが、やはり信号もほとんどありません!
でも日系二世に嫁いだガイドの阿部さんの話が面白かった。
シャボ種のニワトリが闊歩する不思議アイランドですね!
のんびりしたい人にはお勧めです。

I am very grateful to my guide, Mr. Abe. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy Kauai Island at a leisurely pace. His storytelling was also very relaxed, making the journey feel effortless. Although he had already retired once and was working again, it felt like his experience really made a difference.
I could clearly see the impact of the two major hurricanes that hit Kauai, with damaged buildings and free-roaming birds still evident today.
The fern cave wasn't very impressive, but the mini Grand Canyon was lovely.
私は阿部さんというガイドさんにとても感謝しています。
時間をゆったり作って回っていただいたので、カウアイ島を堪能できました。
お話もとってもゆったりしていらして、つかれることのない道中でした。
すでに一度は退職されており、再雇用でのお仕事とのことでしたが、そんな経験が物をいうという感じでした。
カウアイ島が2回も大きなハリケーンに見舞われ、大きな被害があったことは今も残る壊れたままの建造物や放し飼いになった鳥などでよくわかりました。
シダの洞窟はあんまり印象的ではありませんでしたが、ミニグランドキャニオンは素敵でした。

Although a very new Kualoa ranch tour the operators were keen to learn and improve where possible. My wife and I enjoyed the tour and picnic lunch, the guide was both helpful and informative. Although we have done other ranch tours on previous visits this was the first time we had a composite tour and enjoyed seeing parts we had not seen previously. We highly recomend this tour and found it value for money.

The wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. We had always been doing the Waikiki stuff on vacation in Hawaii before now, but this time we decided to see what was on the Eastside of the island.
And by far, we both feel this is the prettiest spot on the whole island. It is quieter and really does have that "Old Hawaii" feel to it. The tour was excellent, the ranch is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable in answering every question we had.
Our first date was to the movie Jurassic Park too, so that was a really neat added benefit, to visit the place some scenes were actually filmed there! Would highly recommend this tour!

Incredible. A nature so vast that it leaves you speechless awaited me. This island, with a completely different nature than Oahu, is definitely worth a visit. There was a bit of rain, but it created a rainbow, producing a magical landscape.
すごい。言葉にならないほどの大自然が待っていた。
オウフとはぜんぜん違う自然を擁するこの島は一度は訪れるべきだろう。若干の雨があったがそれが虹を生み、幻想的な風景を生み出していた。

This time, I visited Kauai Island for the first time. The boat ride to the Fern Grotto was a fun trip filled with singing and laughter. Many of the guides are older, making it a more relaxed tour, so I would recommend it to mature couples rather than young people. The atmosphere along the coastline felt similar to the North Shore of Oahu. It's an early start, but you'll be back by the evening, so it’s not tiring.
今回、初めてカウワイ島に行ってきました。
シダの洞窟に行く際の船の中も、歌あり笑いありの楽しい笑旅行でした。
ガイドさんなどは、お年を召されている方が多く落ち着いたツアーですので、若者よりは熟年カップルにお勧めです。
海岸線の雰囲気などは、オアフ島で言うと、ノースショアに似ている感じがしました。
朝早いですが、夕方には戻ってこられるので疲れません。

I recently participated in this tour and would like to report on a couple of concerns I had.
1. At the departure from Honolulu Airport, I was the only one called out to receive an explanation from the local staff in Kauai. It seemed that I was the youngest participant, so they said something like, "You there, the youngest one, come over here," and I was the only one who received the explanation while the other participants were left out. I believe they intended for me to guide all the participants once we arrived. It is quite unsettling that only one participant was given an explanation based solely on being the youngest, and I think it would be a problem if something happened and only one person knew the details. Regardless of being the youngest, I am not the tour guide; I am just a customer.
2. Upon arriving in Kauai, I was supposed to meet the local staff near baggage claim as per the instructions in point 1, but we could not see them at all, which made everyone very anxious. Since I was the only one with information about the meeting, I ended up having to call the contact number for Roberts listed on the voucher. When I called, I was told to "contact the office directly in Kauai," and they provided me with the contact information, so I called the Roberts office in Kauai again. During that exchange, another participant managed to find the late local staff, and we were able to resolve the situation. The anxiety and helplessness of not being able to meet the local staff in a place where everyone was visiting for the first time was significant. I would have appreciated it if the local staff had sincerely apologized for their lateness. I felt like I wanted a refund for the phone call I made to the office.
The rest of the tour went smoothly, and the staff's handling during the tour was fine. However, I wanted to report these two points because I hope that other participants do not have to experience what we did.
先日こちらのツアーに参加しました。
2つほど気になったことがありましたので報告します。
1.ホノルル空港出発時に、カウアイ島現地スタッフとの待ち合わせについてなぜか私だけ呼び出され説明を受けました。参加者の中でどうやら私が一番若かったようなので、「そこのあなた、一番若いからちょっとこっちに来て」といった具合に他の参加者をおいて私にしか説明をされませんでした。おそらく現地に着いて私に参加者全員の誘導を行わせるつもりだったのだと思います。若いという理由だけで参加者一人にだけ説明をしないというのはとても不安がありますし、何かあったときに一人しか詳細を知らないのでは問題だと思いました。そしていくら一番若いからといって私はツアーの誘導係ではありません。一顧客です。
2.カウアイ島に到着して、1の指示通りbaggage claimあたりで待機しているはずの現地スタッフと合流する予定だったのですが、いっこうに姿が見えず全員がとても不安になりました。待ち合わせについては私しか情報を知らないため、結局私がバウチャーに記載されているロバーツの連絡先に電話をかけるはめに。電話をしたところ「直接カウアイ島にオフィスに問い合わせて」とのことで連絡先を教えられ、再度カウアイ島のロバーツオフィスに電話をかけました。そのやり取りの間、何とか別の参加者が遅刻した現地スタッフを見つけることができ事なきを得ました。全員が初めて来る場所で現地スタッフと合流できなかったときの不安や心細さはとても大きいものです。現地スタッフも遅れて来たことについて素直に詫びてほしかったです。オフィスへかけた電話代を返してほしい気持ちでした。
その後のツアーはスムーズに進みました。ツアー中のスタッフの方の対応も問題なかったです。ただ、上記の2点だけ私たちのような経験を他の参加者の方々にはしてほしくなく、ご報告させていただきます。

This was our second family trip to Hawaii. Since we were there, we decided to explore not just Oahu but also the neighboring islands, so we went to Kauai. It was a very natural island where nature remains untouched. We were able to see sea turtles as well. Waimea Canyon is breathtaking!!
今回は2回目のHAWAIIファミリー旅行でした。
せっかくなので、オアフ島だけではなく
離島へも足を伸ばしてみようということになり
カウアイ島へ。
自然がそのまま残るとてもナチュラルな島でした。
海がめも見ることが出来ました。

I participated previously.
In contrast to Oahu's image of blue, Kauai has an image of red. When I was considering a day trip, I was torn between Maui and the Big Island, but I decided to go with Kauai, a place that not many Japanese people visit.
In a word, it's nature! It feels like the island has remained untouched by development. I participated with my family, and it seems my daughter loved the fern cave while my husband preferred the canyon. This island offers various spirits that touch different people in different ways.
以前参加しました。
オアフのブルーというイメージに対して、カウアイはレッドというイメージです。日帰りツアーを検討していた時、マウイ島にするかハワイ島にするか悩んだのですが、あまり日本人が行かないカウアイ島にしようと決め参加しました。
一言で言うと大自然!島が開発されずにそのまま残っているという感じです。家族で参加しましたが、娘はシダの洞窟がパパは渓谷がお気に入りになったようでした。人によって感動するものが違ういろんなスピリッツを与えてくれる島でした。

Dear Eli,
Thank you for visiting us.
It seems you enjoyed the movie village bus tour.
Horseback riding may look like a leisurely stroll, but you can experience unique views and interactions with the horses that you can only see while riding.
Next time, please give it a try!
