All Reviews for Hiking Tours

This was a great hike. My husband and I aren’t expert hikers but found this to be enjoyable. The trail is very uneven but most trails are. Wear comfy shoes and take water to stay hydrated. It takes about an hour to get to the top and the views above Honolulu are amazing. We had time to take pictures and enjoy before heading back down. The driver of the shuttle was funny and made the trip even better.

Our guide, Jonah, was amazing. The food truck lunch included "garlic shrimp without shells" and "the restrooms here are clean." In Haleiwa, we learned that "shave ice is famous," and while driving, he pointed out, "Look, you can see a rainbow on the left." He also took many photos at beautiful spots, suggesting we take pictures here and there. It was a fulfilling day from early morning, and I really enjoyed it. By chance, I met Jonah again the next day when he came to the hotel to drop off some guests, and he wished me to "have fun today since it's Halloween." It turned out to be a wonderful trip. Thank you very much!

ガイドのジョナさん　凄く良かったです
フードトラックの昼食は「ここは殻なしのガーリックシュリンプ」だとか「トイレはここが綺麗」だとか　ハレイワでは「かき氷が有名」とか　運転中も「左　虹が見えます」とか‥その他本当に色々　写真もここで撮りましょうと素敵なポイントで何枚も撮っていただき　早朝から充実した1日で楽しませていただきました　たまたま次の日お客さん送ってホテルに来たジョナさんと会って「今日はハロウィンなので楽しんで」と声かけていただいたり　とっても良い旅になりました
ありがとうございました

Our driver spoke English, and everyone around us spoke English too. We were anxious since we couldn't speak English, but it all worked out somehow. We enjoyed the transportation as well.

英語のドライバーさんで、周りの方達も英語で、英語が話せない私達は不安でしたが、何とかなるものです
送迎も含めて楽しめました

This was well worth the money, amazing place, beautiful rainforest, you will get a little wet, and muddy, bring water, our driver Mathew K was great, got us there safe, had water for us at the end, would definitely do it again.

I thought waking up early would be tough, but the sunrise from Diamond Head is worth the early wake-up! They also handle reservations, which makes it easy. They teach you about the area while driving around. They took us to a great place for the popular malasada donuts, so we didn't have to wait and could eat them right away! They also recommend good lunch spots and share which ones are not so great (laughs). I had the rare experience of cracking and eating nuts myself. There was also time for shopping, and it was a fun tour packed with activities!

早起きが大変かなと思いましたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドから見る朝日は早起きの価値あります！予約もやって下さってるので楽ちんです。
車でこの辺はこんなところだよとかいろいろ教えてくれます。
人気のマラサダドーナツも並ばなくて良いところに案内してくれてすぐ食べられました！
お昼ご飯もオススメのお店とこれはイマイチ、、みたいなことも教えてくれます(笑)
ナッツの殻を自分で割って食べるという貴重な体験もしました。
買い物する時間もありますし、盛りだくさんのツアーで楽しかったです！

From Diamond Head in the morning to the North Shore, it was packed with activities, and Jonah's attentiveness was top-notch. You can fully enjoy Hawaii with so much to do. I absolutely recommend it. My friend was able to get the Diamond Head version of the sunburned kitty, and we had a wonderfully satisfying day.

朝のダイヤモンドヘッドから、ノースまで、とにかく目白押しで、ジョナさんの気配りも最高でした。
盛り沢山でハワイを満喫できます。
絶対、おすすめです。
友だちが日焼けキティのダイヤモンドヘッド版をゲットできて、大満足の1日が過ごせました。

Although I go to the gym, climbing the mountain was quite tough for someone in their 60s. I thought to myself, "This might be my last experience in life?" as I climbed. At the summit, I was able to see the hotel district and the distant sea, making all the sweat and effort worthwhile. It really made me realize that the Earth is round!

They handled the application process for climbing, which you can't do without prior approval, and the entrance fee was included! They also provided water, so all I had to do was show up in sneakers and light workout clothes! There was also a shuttle service to the hotel.

Considering that I would have to check the bus schedule, take the bus, and handle the application myself, I think this was quite a good deal.

ジムに通っているとはいえ、60代のこの身には結構厳しい山登りでした。人生でこれが最後の体験かも？と思いながら登りました。頂上ではホテル街や遠い海原までも一望でき、汗水流して登った甲斐がありました。地球って丸いんだな！って認識できます。
事前申請しないと登れないところを代行してもらえるし、入山料？も込み！　そしてお水も用意してくださり、こちらはスニーカーと軽い運動できる服装で行くだけ！ホテルへの送迎もついていました。
これをバス時間を調べてバスに乗って、事前の申請もして、と考えるとお安いのではないかと思います。

The driver was very kind. Climbing the mountain might be tough, but the beautiful scenery made it very satisfying.

ドライバーの方は、とても親切な方でした。山を登るのは、大変かもしれませんが、綺麗な景色が見られて大満足です。

I started with a hike up Diamond Head and had a fulfilling day visiting various places. The guide provided a lot of information at key points and shared interesting stories, which made it enjoyable. They also helped by taking many photos. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii.

ダイヤモンドヘッド登山からスタートして1日充実したスケジュールでいろんな場所に行けました。
ガイドさんが要所要所で様々な情報を教えて下さったり面白い話をして下さったりと…楽しかったです。沢山写真も撮って下さり助かりました。
またハワイに来た際には是非参加したいです。

My wife wanted to visit Diamond Head❣️ Since I was still feeling the fatigue in my legs from the previous day's tour of Pearl Harbor and bowling, I took my time climbing to the top. Even so, I had two hours until the pick-up car arrived, so I was in no rush.

The view was absolutely amazing❣️ It felt great❣️

カミさん所望のダイヤモンドヘッド❣️
前日のパールハーバー見学とボウリングの疲労が脚に残っていたので、休憩しながら登頂しました。それでも、迎えの車まで2時間あったので、余裕でした。
ぐるっとチョーゼッケェー❣️
気持ち良かったぁ❣️

Thanks to our guide Jonah, we had the best day! His Japanese was excellent, and while driving, he explained the area and always asked if we wanted to take family photos when we arrived at our destination, which we really appreciated! He also provided us with water, which was very helpful! Thank you so much, Jonah, for your early morning efforts! If possible, I would love to request Jonah again!

ガイドのジョナさんのお陰で最高の１日を過ごす事ができました！
日本語がとても上手で、車の運転中にはその土地の説明や、目的地に着いたら必ず写真撮りましょうか？と家族写真を撮ってくださり、本当にありがたかったです！
お水も用意していただき大変助かりました！
ジョナさん、朝早くから本当にありがとうございました♪指名できるのであれば、またジョナさんにお願いしたいと思います！

Diamond Head was tough to climb, but I was able to capture the sunrise, so it was great! Above all, our tour guide, Joa, was amazing! His Japanese was excellent, and he took us around to various spots for photos, making it a wonderful memory!

ダイヤモンドヘッドは登るの大変だったけど、朝日も撮れたし良かったです！
何よりツアーガイドのジョアさんが最高でした！
日本語も上手だし、色々周って写真も撮ってくれて最高の思い出になりました！

This was a great tour and our guide was amazing. We will do this again next time we are there.

I was taken to many places in Hawaii that are hard to reach without a car, and I was truly satisfied with the enjoyable tour thanks to the driver's thoughtful care and fun stories! It's a wonderful, homey tour! I highly recommend it! ^_^

ハワイの周遊で車がないとなかなか行けないところにたくさん連れて行っていただき、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いと楽しいお話で本当に楽しい周遊ツアーで大満足でした!
アットホームな素敵なツアーです！オススメです^_^

My sisters and I decided to take our elderly mother to Oahu for the first time, and I wanted to show her the major tourist spots, so I made a reservation.

Since we went to Diamond Head early in the morning, it wasn't hot, and our elderly mother was able to reach the summit with ease.

Our tour guide, Jonah, took us to places we had never seen or heard of before, making it a memorable tour for all of us sisters and our mother.

Along the way, Jonah, who is very knowledgeable, explained about the upscale neighborhoods, beaches, buildings, and facilities. He made an effort to keep us entertained by introducing famous stores and taking photos at various spots.

We were also able to fulfill our long-held wish of eating garlic shrimp at Giovanni's, which made us very satisfied!

Thank you so much, Jonah!

姉妹で高齢の母を初めてオアフ島に連れて行く事になり、観光情報に載っているメジャーな場所を見せてあげたいと思い予約しました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドも早い時間だったので、暑くなく高齢の母も軽快に頭頂する事ができました。

初めての見聞きした場所までツアーガイドのジョナさんが連れて行ってくれて、私達姉妹も母も一生の思い出に残る周遊ツアーとなりました。

道中、知識豊富なジョナさんが高級住宅街やビーチ、建物、施設等の説明をしてくれました。
行く先々で有名な店舗の紹介やフォトスポットでの撮影など、常に楽しませてくれようと努力してくれました。

念願のジョバンニでガーリックシュリンプを食べることもでき大満足でした！

ジョナさん♡Thank you so much！

The driver was very cheerful and it was fun. Thank you very much.
I heard they can communicate in English, but that was not a problem.

とても明るいドライバーさんで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました
英語対応との事でしたが問題ありません。

The day before, I was forced to change the time without any explanation. I had already organized my schedule for that day, so it was very troublesome to have it changed without notice. I at least wanted an explanation. The driver was cheerful and a very nice person.

前日の昼過ぎに、何の説明もなく時間変更を余儀なくされた。その日1日のスケジュールを組み立てていたのに、勝手に変更されて大変困った。せめて説明をしてほしかった。
ドライバーの方は陽気な方でとてもいい人でした。

I walked with our guide Ryan in the heat.

He had a wealth of knowledge about plants, animals, and the land, and we enjoyed half a day.

Thank you very much.

暑い中ガイドのRyanさんと歩きました。

植物、動物、そして土地に関する知識も豊富で半日楽しめました。

ありがとうございました。

It was great that I could go at my own pace. Since I don't usually exercise, there were times when it was tough to reach the summit. However, when I got to the top, I was filled with a sense of accomplishment. The view of Waikiki from there was breathtaking. I would love to join this tour again someday. Next time, I think I'll choose a time when I can see the sunrise.

マイペースで行けるというのが非常に良かった。自分は普段から運動してないので、頂上まで苦しいこともありましたが、。頂上に着いた時は達成感でいっぱいでした。そして、そこからのワイキキは絶景でした。またいつかこのツアーに参加したいです。次は日の出が見られる時間のにしようと思います。

Thank you very much to staff member Jonah for your help. Since we climbed Diamond Head early in the morning, it was not hot and felt great. After that, I was very impressed to be able to eat malasadas at Leonard's, which was not on the course. Thank you for taking me to Balance Rock as well! The ocean at Sunset Beach was incredibly beautiful, and it was a series of moving experiences! I was surprised by how delicious Giovanni's garlic shrimp was. I also enjoyed exploring Haleiwa, but it went by so quickly that I wished I had a little more time.

スタッフのジョナさん、お世話になりありがとうございました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドは朝早くだったので、暑くなく気持ちいい感じで登頂できました。
その後、コースにないレナーズのお店でマラサダ食べれて、とても感激しました！　またバランスロックにも連れて行っていただき、ありがとうございました！　サンセットビーチなど海がとっても綺麗で感動の連続でした！
念願のジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプの美味しさにビックリでした。ハレイワの散策も楽しかったですが、あっという間でもう少し時間があるといいなと思いました。

Super easy hiking path and a gorgeous hike all around!

I think this tour is much more fulfilling than just a diamond bed climbing tour. I believe it's difficult to visit this many places in one day on your own, so I highly recommend it. The guide was very enthusiastic and provided excellent service.

ダイヤモンドベッド登山のみのツアーよりかなり充実していると思います。個人で1日にこれだけ周るのは難しいと思うので、おすすめです。ガイドさんもサービス精神旺盛な方で、本当に良くしてもらいました。

I'm glad I participated in this tour! First of all, our driver and guide, Jonah, was an excellent driver. We spent about 11 hours together, and I felt completely at ease! The time allocated for hiking Diamond Head was generous, and we were taken to a food truck where we could buy Leonard's malasadas without any wait, which was perfect for a snack after the hike!

We toured the beautiful beaches of Oahu, and for lunch, we stopped at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. There were so many stores and food trucks that it was hard to choose. There was even a beer specialty shop, which was enjoyable. We also got to explore Haleiwa, and since there were kids experiencing Hawaii for the first time, I was glad I booked this tour.

Jonah, who is fluent in Japanese, shared various stories during our travels, which helped us learn more about Hawaii. He also kindly took photos for us every time we got out of the vehicle. I'm grateful for that! The small group size made it comfortable as well.

このツアーに参加して良かったです！
まずドライバーandガイドのジョナさんの運転が本当に上手で約11時間一緒に過ごしましたが、安心感が半端なかったです！
ダイヤモンドヘッドの登山も余裕ある時間配分、レナーズのマラサダもフードトラックで待ち時間なく買える場所に案内してもらえ登山後の小腹満たしも出来ました！
オアフ島のきれいなビーチをめぐり、ランチはカフクシュガーミルで。店舗もフードトラックも沢山あり選ぶのに迷いました。ビール専門店もあり、楽しめました。
ハレイワも探索でき、ハワイが初めての子がいたのでこのツアーを申し込みましたが正解でした。
日本語が堪能なジョナさんが移動中も含め、色々な話をしてくれたのでハワイのことを知れました。また、写真も下車の都度、ジョナさんから声をかけてくれて撮ってくれました。感謝！少人数のツアーなので気兼ねない点も良かったです。

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

It was my first time going to Hawaii, so I joined a tour! Thanks to a guide who was fluent in Japanese, I was able to enjoy everything from the classic spots to the more niche ones!

ハワイに行くのは初めてだったので、ツアーに参加しました！王道なところからマニアックなところまで、日本語が上手なガイドさんのおかげで楽しむことができました！

First, we start with an easy hike. Enjoying the nature of Hawaii, we walk along a trail that takes about 30 minutes one way to the waterfall, where we take a break to listen to stories and enjoy the falls. The path is not steep, so even beginners can manage the hike.

After that, we move to Tantalus Lookout, where we enjoy the scenery before riding down on a mountain bike. The distance is about 4-5 km, and since it's all downhill, it's a refreshing ride. We take a route with very little traffic, so it was no problem to film with a GoPro. I was able to enjoy a different side of Hawaii!

まずは簡単はハイキングから始まります。
ハワイの自然を楽しみながら、滝までの片道30分程度の小道を歩き、滝で休憩しながら話を聞いたり、滝を楽しみます。
険しい道ではないので、ハイキング初心者でも大丈夫です。
その後、タンタラスの丘まで移動し、タンタラスの丘からの風景を楽しんだ後、マウンテンバイクで駆け降ります。
4-5km程度の距離で、下りのみなので爽快に降りるのみです。
車の通りがかなり少ない道を行きますので、Go Proを撮影しながらでも特に問題ありませんでした。
ハワイの違う一面を楽しむことができました！

The view from the top of Diamond Head early in the morning was amazing. The pickup time was almost accurate, so I was able to participate without any worries.

朝早くから見るダイヤモンドヘッド頂上からの景色は最高でした。迎え時間もほぼ正確で､不安なく参加できました。

The ground was muddy from the rain the previous day, making it a bit difficult to walk (but the waterfall had a good flow because of it). I was glad to have borrowed trekking poles. The guide was cheerful and lively, and it was fun to chat with them. They provided explanations about the plants and Hawaii on the spot, which deepened my understanding of Hawaii's nature and made the experience enjoyable!

We took many photos at the scenic spots, creating great memories. Also, the lunch sandwiches were delicious, and it was nice to eat them in a place with a good view.

前日の雨で、足元がぬかっていて少し歩きにくい状況でしたが（その分、滝の水量がありました）、トレッキングポールを貸りられたのが良かったです。日本語でのガイドさんも明るく元気でおしゃべりも楽しく、もちろんその場で植物やハワイについての説明をしてもらえて、ハワイの自然についての理解が深まり、満喫できました！
撮影スポットで写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてよい思い出になりました。
あと、ランチのサンドイッチもおいしくて、見晴らしのよい場所で食べられたのもよかったです。

We climbed Diamond Head and toured around the island, efficiently managing our time and highlighting key points, including camera spots for support. Thanks to this, we were able to explore places like markets, beaches, and coffee farms in depth. I recommend taking a stroll in Haleiwa Town, where you can experience the charm of old Hawaii and enjoy shopping and gourmet food. Even with such a packed day, we weren't tired because we had a car. Personally, I enjoyed lunch at the food court where food trucks gathered. Our guide, J, was friendly and well-connected, which made us feel at ease.
