Unexpectedly, there were rocks everywhere. I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time reaching the summit. I'm just tired. The view was amazing, and the breeze felt nice.
意外に岩がゴロゴロしていました。
ハワイは何回も来ていましたが、初めて登頂。疲れたの一言です。景色が素晴らしく、風が気持ち良かった。
It's best to be light on your feet in sneakers. I recommend starting early in the morning. I began around 8 AM.
必ず、スニーカーで身軽が良い。早めの時間帯をお勧め。私はAM8時頃スタートしました。

We saw all of Pearl Harbor at our pace with a guided tour of the Missouri. You get 2 consecutive days to see everything. It was a very memorable visit. Book your boat to the Arizona first. We booked the Pearl Harbor pass first then had to change it due to no tickets available for our original dates. Also the dates are available about a month early.
You can get standby tickets to the Arizona but it’s not guaranteed.
The inside of the ship and submarine are not accessible to wheelchairs and are very tight spaces.
I recommend it for those who want to experience a relaxed time. It's not a problem if you don't understand English. It might be good for families with small children, but it may be a bit lacking in excitement for younger people.
のんびり体験したい方にはお勧めです
英語が分からなくても問題ないです
お子さんの小さい家族旅行はいいかも知れませんが、若い方には刺激が少ない
It would be nice to have insect repellent spray.
虫よけスプレーがあればいいかな

Depending on the time of participation, a shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel at 9:30 in the morning, which was just right—not too early. There were participants from various nationalities, but the Japanese guide provided interpretation and was friendly while chatting on the boat, making it very reassuring and enjoyable.
The wetsuits are available for a fee, but wearing a free life jacket is mandatory. I think those who can swim should be fine without a suit. For small children, having a floatation device is comforting. The sea is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom at all, so it might be a bit scary for kids.
On the day we participated, it was somewhat windy, and some people experienced seasickness. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to bring some medication.
On the way back, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins and even saw a baby dolphin. According to the guide, they had worked at Dolphin University for two years and said, "There hasn't been a day when I didn't see them." The dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped, creating a special time with the wild dolphins that excited the children greatly.
参加時期によりますが、朝は9:30にホテルまでシャトルバスが迎えに来てくれ、早すぎずちょうど良かったです。さまざまな国籍の方が参加していましたが、日本人ガイドさんが通訳してくれたり、船の上でも気さくに話しかけてくれたりして、とても安心して楽しめました。
ウェットスーツは有料ですが、無料のライフジャケット着用が必須です。泳げる方はスーツなしでも問題ないと思います。小さなお子さんは浮き輪があると安心。海は足が全くつかない深さなので、子どもにとっては少し怖いかもしれません。
私たちが参加した日はやや風が強く、船酔いしてしまう方もいました。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参しておくと安心です。
帰り道ではハシナガイルカの群れに遭遇し、赤ちゃんイルカまで見られました。ガイドさんによると、2年間イルカ大学で働いていて「会えなかった日はない」とのこと。船と並走したりジャンプしたりと、野生のイルカと過ごす特別な時間に子どもも大興奮でした。
- Don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.
- It's great to have a floatation device for small children.
- Wet suits are available for rent on-site for a fee, so only those who need them shoul
・酔いどめを忘れずに。
・小さなお子さんは浮き輪があると◎
・ウェットスーツは有料なので、必要な人だけ現地レンタルでOK。
・予約表に記載時間=出発時間なので遅れないように注意！
Aloha! Thank you, Take-sama, for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five stars. It was lucky that you even got to see a baby spinner dolphin!! We hope that your encounter with the wild dolphins became a wonderful memory for your family. Thank you for your comments about the motion sickness remedies and wetsuits. Please come back and visit with your whole family when you're in Hawaii again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! タケさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうこざいました。五つ星にも感謝です。ハシナガイルカの赤ちゃんまで見られたとはラッキーでしたね!! 野生のイルカとの出会いがご家族の素敵な思い出になったとしたら幸いです。酔い止め対策やウェットスーツに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはご家族皆んなで遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou！

For individuals, first, obtaining tickets is difficult. I tried twice at 7 AM when the online application opened, but there were many input fields, and within 10 minutes, it was sold out. I found this tour, which includes transportation and a snorkeling set, and signed up. The $25 entrance fee is not included, but if the tour is available, you can enter Hanauma Bay, so I recommend it. Previously, The Bus used to go close by, but it has now been discontinued, so you would need to rent a car or take a taxi, which means quite a bit of walking. This tour, which takes you to the entrance, is highly recommended. Even with broken English, it was fine.
個人で行くには、まず、チケット入手が難しく、朝7時のネット申し込みと同時に２回トライしたが、入力項目も多く、10分も経たずにsold out。
こちらのツアーを見つけ、送迎つき、シュノーケルセットつきで、申し込んだ。$25の入場料は含まれていないが、ツアーが空いていればハナウマベイにて入場できるので、おすすめ。
以前はザ・バスも近くまで通っていたが、今は廃止となり、レンタカーかタクシーで行かねば、かなり歩くことになるのて、入場口まで連れて行ってくれるこのツアーはおすすめです。
片言の英語でも、大丈夫でした。
If you have a sunshade, you can spend time comfortably even in strong sunlight. It would be good to have water shoes as well.
サンシェードなどがあると強い日差しの中も過ごせる。
water shoesがあるといい。

The whole day was pack full of things to do, and each of them were really special. It was a very long day, and the weather was warm, especially on the Missouri. I would not have skipped a thing, though. The staff were all wonderful and you could tell they had so much respect for the history of the place. This was a bucket list item for me, and I'm so grateful tho have been able to go.
Go early, get on the waitlist for the Arizona Memorial immediately. Drink lots of water.
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 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.

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。
