great experience and so much fun. Captain was friendly and knowledgeable.
Mahalo nui loa!!! A hui hou🌺!!
(Thank you very much, See you again.)
I really appreciated the crew and the way they treated us! The day was beautiful - a little overcast, but so beautiful as it always is at the sandbar. The sun came through and allowed us to be dazzled by the colors of the ocean. We saw lots of fish on our snorkel segment, and the majority of the boat played a fun game of volleyball in the water. The food was good, and the boat was spacious enough to allow everyone to see the turtles and to gaze at the beauty of the landscape as we moved through the water. I was lucky to be able to spend this memorable day with my cousin visiting from out of town. This was perfect for one of our big activities! We will never forget this fun experience!
Remember the sunscreen and the sea sickness medication if you get nauseous on boats. :)
I chose this tour especially because it didn't include malasadas or acai. Since watching the sunrise wasn't the goal, the pickup and end times were just right. You can easily get malasadas and acai by going to the shops yourself, so I recommend this tour.
特にマラサダやアサイーが付いていないこのツアーを選びました。
日の出も目的ではなかったのでちょうどいい時間でのお迎えと終了時間でした。
マラサダもアサイーも自分でお店に行けば簡単に食べれるのでこのツアーはオススメです。
You will be provided with bottled water, so you don't need to bring your own. There will be plenty of time after descending, so you can take your time climbing. If you want to see the sunrise at the s
ペットボトルの水はくれるので持参しなくても大丈夫です。時間も下山後十分あるのでゆっくり登って大丈夫です。頂上で日の出を見たい方は、お迎え時間が遅い時間ですので、間に合いませんから気をつけてくださいね。

You can have an absolutely amazing experience. Just give it a try for now. I think you have some fatigue from daily life, but it will blow you away.
本当に最高の体験ができます。

We experienced this with our family of four, including an elementary school student and a middle school student! The sea was beautiful, and we saw fish and turtles swimming around! We enjoyed various activities like stand-up paddleboarding. The kids are definitely saying they want to go again!
小学生と中学生の家族４人で体験しました！海も綺麗で魚や亀が普通に泳いでます！サップなど色々楽しめました。子供達はまた絶対行きたいと行ってます！

This time, I participated with my mother, who is in her mid-80s. Initially, we thought we would have to give up on joining the tour because of her age, but after doing some research, we found out that there was a beginner-friendly course, so we decided to participate.
Our guide, Hoku (a foreigner), explained the plants in fluent Japanese and was considerate of our walking pace. Thanks to him, we were able to return safely without any injuries.
The sandwich we had afterward at Tantalus Lookout was delicious. We were able to see a different side of Hawaii, distinct from the beach.
今回は80代半ばの母親と参加しました。当初母が高齢ということもあり、ツアー参加は諦めていましたが、いろいろ調べて見ると初心者向けのコースと分かり参加を決意。
ガイドのホクさん（外国人）は流暢な日本語で植物の説明をしてくださり、また歩くスピードにも気を遣ってくれました。おかげで怪我なく無事戻れました。
その後のタンタラスの丘で食べたサンドイッチは美味しかったです。ビーチとはまた違ったハワイの一面を見ることが出来ました。
I think it depends on the weather, but sturdy shoes are a good idea as your feet can get quite dirty. The tour to places that are not easily accessible on your own was enjoyable.
お天気に左右されると思いますが、足元はしっかりとした靴が良いと思います。結構汚れます。
個人ではなかなか行くことが無い場所へのツアーは楽しかったです
Aloha,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are truly grateful that you chose our tour for your important trip with your mother.
I understand there may have been some concerns regarding your age at first, but we are very relieved to hear that you returned safely without any injuries. We also appreciate your kind words about our guide's Japanese explanations and consideration for the walking pace, which will be a great encouragement for them.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sandwiches at Tantalus and the unique nature of Hawaii, different from the beaches. Your valuable advice regarding footwear will certainly be helpful for future participants.
Since these are places that are not easily visited individually, we are honored that you were able to experience the unique charm of our tour.
When you come to Hawaii again, please do stop by with your mother. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Mahalo!
アロハ、
この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
また、お母様との大切なご旅行に当ツアーをお選びいただき、心より感謝申し上げます。
当初はご年齢のことでご不安もあったかと思いますが、無事に怪我なくお戻りいただけたとのこと、私どもも大変安心いたしました。ガイドの日本語でのご案内や歩行ペースへの配慮についてもお褒めの言葉をいただき、本人にとっても大きな励みになります。
タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチや、ビーチとは異なるハワイの自然をお楽しみいただけたとのこと、とても嬉しく思います。足元についての貴重なアドバイスも、これから参加されるお客様にとって参考になるお言葉です。
個人ではなかなか訪れることのない場所だからこそ、ツアーならではの魅力を感じていただけたことを光栄に思います。
またハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひお母様とご一緒にお立ち寄りください。スタッフ一同、心よりお待ちしております。
マハロ！

I was looking for a place I had never been to and a tour I had never experienced before, and I found this tour. I have been to the Dole Plantation many times, but this was the first time I learned that you can take a factory tour right across the street.
On the day of the tour, it had rained the night before, so the ground was nicely damp, which was great. Our guide, Nori, took photos at various locations and also took us to sightseeing spots other than Haleiwa Town. I think it was because there were only a few participants that he was able to accommodate our requests.
今までに行ったことのない場所、経験したことの無いツアーを探していて、本ツアーを見つけました。ドールプランテーションには何度も行っていますが、向かい側で工場見学ができることを今回初めて知りました。
ツアー当日は、前夜に雨が降ってことで地面の土がほどよく湿っていて良かったです。
ガイドのノリさんは、場所場所で写真を撮ってくださり、ハレイワタウン以外にも観光名所に連れて行ってくれました。参加者が少人数だったのでリクエストに応えてくれたのだと思います。
If you are going to participate, please avoid wearing white shoes and clothes as they will get dirty with red soil. You will receive one cut pineapple as a souvenir per person, so I recommend particip

The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!
After visiting the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on November 18, 2025, I went to the Battleship Missouri Memorial. I was able to make an online reservation before departing from Japan, which made my visit very reassuring.
The Battleship Missouri was launched in January 1944 and participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa landings. On September 2, 1945, it served as the venue for the signing ceremony of the surrender documents between the Allied forces led by General MacArthur and the Japanese government delegation led by Foreign Minister Shigemitsu.
Later, in 1950, it was deployed during the Korean War, and although it was decommissioned in 1955, it was reactivated in 1986. It participated in the Gulf War in 1991, was decommissioned again in 1992, and arrived at Pearl Harbor in 1998, opening as a memorial the following year. The Missouri is referred to as the last battleship because it was the last to be completed and the last to be decommissioned.
There are Japanese-speaking volunteer guides on board who provide detailed information about the history of the Missouri, its main guns, and the surrender document signing ceremony, so I recommend requesting a guide.
There is a counter at the entrance where you can check in. After the guided tour, you can freely explore the ship. You can visit various areas of the battleship that are not typically accessible, including the bridge, the dining areas for senior officers and sailors, the sleeping quarters, and the ship's post office, making it a valuable experience.
2025年11月18日にパールハーバーのアリゾナ記念館を見学後、戦艦ミズーリ記念館を訪れました。
日本出発前にオンラインで予約が出来、安心して訪問する事が出来ました。
戦艦ミズーリは1944年１月に進水後、硫黄島上陸作戦や沖縄上陸作戦に参加し、1945年9月2日マッカーサー元帥率いる連合軍側と、重光葵全権率いる日本政府代表団との間で、東京湾上で行われた降伏文書調印式の会場となりました。
その後1950年に朝鮮戦争に出動、1955年に一度退役しましたが、1986年に再就役し、1991年に湾岸戦争に出動、1992年に再度退役し1998年にパールハーバーに到着し、翌年から記念館として公開されています。
ミズーリは最後に完成し最後に退役した事から最後の戦艦と呼ばれています。
艦内では日本語のボランティアガイドが常駐していて、ミズーリの歴史や主砲、降伏文書調印式の様子などを詳しく教えてくれますから、ガイドを依頼する事をお勧めします。
艦に登った所にカウンターがありそこで受付をしています。
ガイド終了後は自由に艦内を見学出来ます。艦橋を始め上級士官や水兵の食堂、寝室、艦内の郵便局など、普通目にする事が出来ない戦艦の様々な場所を見学出来るので貴重な体験です。
It takes about 2 hours to see everything inside the ship, so I recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare.
艦内を全て見るには約2時間程掛かりますから、時間には十分余裕をもって訪問する事をお勧めします。

Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply impactful. To follow the drive through the Punchbowl National Cemetery and downtown Honolulu offered interesting insights into Hawaii’s history and culture
From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was inviting, the evening gave all guests a great mix of culture, cuisine, and excitement!!
The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting local stories. Well-organized and a great way to see the island’s highlights in one day.
A fun Hawaiian evening! The shell lei and included drink made for a festive welcome, and the luau dinner offered tasty traditional dishes!
The atmosphere was festive and authentic, making it a truly memorable evening.
The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.
Even from the rear seating, the views were good, and the transportation made it easy to get there. A lively and memorable evening.
The Polynesian show was very entertaining, with skilled dancers. The boat service team was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive without feeling crowded. A fun and memorable way to enjoy a Hawaiian evening.
We spent about 75 minutes at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, watched the 23-minute film on December 7, 1941, and then took the shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. Afterwards, the tour included a drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) and a window‑view tour of downtown Honolulu.
The sunset views from the deck were stunning, and the buffet offered a wide variety of tasty dishes.
Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.
The trail is beautiful and lush, with tropical scenery at every turn. A simple, enjoyable rainforest escape.
This shuttle made visiting Manoa Falls easy. Pick-up in Waikiki was on time, and the ride was comfortable.
The Polynesian show was top-notch, the dancers were expressive with the highlight, of the fire knife performance. It was beautifully choreographed!
There were many exhibits related to Japan, and it was very educational. I was also able to tour the interior of a battleship that was actually used, and I believe such exhibits are unique. I'm glad I went.
日本にまつわる多くの展示があり、非常に勉強になりました。
また、実際に使われていた戦艦の内部の作りなども見学することができ、
こういった展示物は他にはないだろうと思います。
行ってよかったです。

I participated with my friend because we could swim with wild dolphins. We were able to swim with whale sharks too! We saw many creatures, including dolphins and turtles, and it was a truly precious experience. The Japanese staff and the crew were very kind, so I think even first-timers can enjoy it! I was really glad to come and have so much interaction with nature!
野生のイルカと泳ぐことができるということで、友人と参加しました。ジンベイザメと泳ぐことができました！他にもイルカやカメなどたくさんの生き物を見ることができ、とても貴重な時間でした。
日本人スタッフさんはじめ、クルーの皆さんもとても優しいので、初めての人でも楽しめると思います！自然にたくさん触れ合うことができ、本当に来てよかったです！
Aloha! Thank you, Nako, for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five-star rating. It was truly fortunate to not only encounter dolphins and turtles but also to swim with a wild whale shark! Even for those who live in Hawaii, swimming with a wild whale shark in the open ocean is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Thank you for your comments about our Japanese staff and crew as well. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

We visited in November again, just like last year, but this year we faced terrible weather with strong waves and cold temperatures, which made it quite challenging. However, my two elementary school-aged sons remembered last year's experience and chatted a lot with the crew! This year, it seems that the honu (sea turtles) came very close to us often! I didn't snorkel with my face in the water, but while playing and taking photos in the shallow area, they came right up close to me!
At SAP, the rain and wind were strong, and my son said, "This year is tough!" (laughs) Still, we had a valuable experience, enjoyed warm drinks and chatted on the boat, and even ate spam musubi, which was fun! Our family promised the ladies that we would come back next year!
昨年と同じ11月の利用でしたが、今年はみごとに悪天候で、波もすごいし寒いしハードでしたが、小学生の息子2人は昨年のことも覚えているのでクルーの方とたくさんお喋り！

SAPは雨と風が強くて息子も「今年は難しい！」と言ってました（笑）
それでも、貴重な体験をして、船では温かい飲み物を飲んでおしゃべりしたり、スパムおにぎりも食べて楽しかったです！

We used this for our honeymoon trip as a couple. We opted for a plan that included round-trip transportation to the hotel for an additional fee. While it was a bit pricey, the service and experience exceeded our expectations.
The server assigned to us was cheerful and very attentive. We also purchased additional photos, which became great memories.
If you're looking to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Hawaii, this might not be the right fit for you. However, I think watching the sunset while listening to jazz in a calm setting is a unique experience that’s hard to come by.
There were about 10% Japanese guests, and while the menu had some items in Japanese, all orders and communication were in English. The introductions of the musicians and the engaging talks were also all in English, so having some understanding of the language would make it more enjoyable.
夫婦の新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
追加料金でホテルまで往復送迎していただくプランに。
やはり金額的にはいいお値段でしたが、期待以上の対応と内容でした。
担当のサーバーの方は陽気ですごく気が利く方でした。
写真も追加購入し、いい思い出となりました。
ハワイの陽気な雰囲気を楽しみたい方は合わないと思いますが、落ち着いた雰囲気でジャズを聞きながらサンセットを見るのはなかなか出来ない経験だと思います。
日本人は約1割いるかどうか、メニューは日本語も記載ありましたが注文やコミュニケーションは全て英語。
ミュージシャンの紹介や、盛り上げるトークも全て英語なので多少理解出来ると面白いと思います。
If you dislike a lively atmosphere, definitely consider a 5-star option. The basic alcohol is quite strong.
It's essential to bring something light to wear.
賑やかな雰囲気が嫌な方は是非5スターに
基本アルコールはきつめです。

Even if the weather wasn't really great during our experience, we still had a great time chilling in the boat watching the view, snorkeling and had dinner and drinks. It was a really good value for the price since the dinner and alcoholic beverage were also included. The crew was really great too and we spent time talking to them as well. Captain Don, Trent and Jacob were really fun and helpful throughout the experience. Even if we didn't see the sunset because of the weather, it was still great because we saw a humpback whale swimming next to us.
"It truly felt like the real Hawaii!" It was the best night ever. The transportation from Waikiki was easy and convenient. Upon arriving at the Hawaii Country Club, we were welcomed by relaxing Hawaiian music, which instantly lifted our spirits. The food was full of local flavors, and everything was delicious, leaving us very satisfied. The hula dance show was incredibly graceful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by it.
「これぞ本場ハワイ！」と思える、最高の夜でした。
ワイキキから送迎付きで移動もラクラク。会場のハワイ・カントリークラブに到着すると、まずはゆったりしたハワイアンミュージックに迎えられ、気分が一気に高まりました。料理はローカル感たっぷりで、どれも美味しくて大満足。フラダンスのショーはとても優雅で、思わず見入ってしまいました。
