Oahu
This was my first major vacation after being isolated due to COVID. Being immunocompromised makes finding activities difficult. We contemplated the UTV/ATV tour, in hopes of social distancing. However, we settled on the bus tour at the last minute. We got the early Monday morning tour our last day on Oahu. The bus was almost empty, so we comfortably social distanced. (The later morning buses were definitely far busier) Nick was a great host and generally joyful human being. He made the experience even better for us, despite my limitations. This place is beautiful and gorgeously maintained. Cannot miss this! If I get back to Oahu and I am well enough, I’ll be joining the horse back riding tour.
We had great time at sandbar playing volleyball. Food was good. First time snorkeling but the whole crew was amazing and helped us. We saw lot of fishes, manta ray, turtles. Highly recommend!!
So good to swim with Leho the dolphin we were assigned to be with! Melissa taught us so much about dolphins that hour. The photos showed us smiling bigger than we never had before! Super fun and excellent! It was part of our 50th anniversary celebration.
There is nothing in particular. But it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun.

My 11-year-old son was very happy. I recommend it. He seemed to have fun catching a fish. The staff were also kind and taught us patiently. In the end, they cooked the fish we caught and let us eat it.
11さいの息子が大分喜びました。お勧めです。1匹釣れてたのしそうでした。またスタッフも優しくて丁寧におしえてくれます。最後、釣れた魚を料理して、たべさせてくれました。
We had a sunset cruising experience for our family of four, and we were blessed with great weather, allowing us to have the best time. The food was delicious, and after enjoying the beautiful sunset, we watched the fireworks from Hilton Village, accompanied by live jazz music. Everything was perfect. We truly made wonderful memories.
親子4人のサンセットクルージング、天気にも恵まれて、最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。料理も美味しく、美味しいサンセットを見た後は、ヒルトンヴィレッジから上がる花火、そして生演奏のJAZZ、すべて完璧でした。本当に良い想い出が出来ました。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the meal at Nova Five Star, the beautiful sunset, and the fireworks on Friday. Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ノバファイブスターでのお食事と素敵なサンセットそして、金曜日の花火もお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。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。
The weather was nice on the day of the trip, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The English guide was very kind, but if you can't speak English, you won't know the meeting place and time for the return. It would be very helpful if you could provide guidance in Japanese using a whiteboard or notes.
当日はお天気も良くて、海が綺麗で魚めたくさん見られました。英語ガイドさんはとても親切でしたが、英語が話せないと帰りの待ち合わせ場所や時間が分かりません。
ホワイトボードやメモなど日本語で案内してもらえるととっても助かります。
Professional , courteous clean and food was great experience of a life time. really really good. Entertainment and everything above and beyond approach.
We visited this time as a couple. Perhaps due to staff shortages, some items were available at certain times while others were not, but we were able to try all the sliders. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a longer stay.
夫婦2人で今回はお邪魔しました。人員不足の為か、時間によって開いてるものと開いていないものがありましたが、全スライダーは制覇出来ました。欲を言えばもう少し滞在時間が長ければ良いなぁと思いました。
The weather was unfortunate, as it was cloudy and rainy, making it cold to enter the sea. However, the support from the guide was wonderful, and I was able to participate comfortably. The captain, like a behind-the-scenes supporter, made charcoal-grilled hamburgers, and during the sea turtle watching, he skillfully guided the boat. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice, but I still enjoyed seeing the beautiful coral and swimming tropical fish.
天気は残念で曇ってたら、雨が降ったりと海に入るのにも寒かったのですが、ガイドの方のフォローが素晴らしく、気持ち良く参加できました。縁の下の力持ち的にキャプテンが炭火焼きのハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、ウミガメウォッチングでは上手く船を誘導してくれてました。
天気が良かったら最高だとは思いますが、綺麗な珊瑚と泳ぐ熱帯魚を見て楽しめました。
I participated in a tour in late October, and it exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend it for those who want to recharge with the energy of nature. Thanks to the tour guide who spoke in both English and Japanese, I was able to enjoy the experience! They share information about the plants, which adds to the excitement! If it's your first time visiting Manoa Falls, definitely consider joining this tour.
As for clothing, I recommend wearing long pants since there are mosquitoes. If you don't have insect repellent spray, the guide will lend you some. I initially wore a lightweight UV parka over my T-shirt, but I started to sweat a bit, so I took it off midway. The ground was a bit muddy from the rain the day before, but my sneakers only got a little dirty. At the end, you can rinse your shoes off with a hose (your socks will get wet, though). Bottled water is provided during lunch. You'll sweat while walking and get thirsty, so don't forget to bring your own water!
After being thoroughly satisfied at Manoa Falls, we headed to Tantalus Lookout. I've participated in night view tours several times, but this was my first time at Tantalus during the day! The view was fantastic! I chose the pastrami sandwich for lunch, and it was a great choice! It was lucky to enjoy a sandwich from a popular local shop without having to wait in line! It was so delicious! Definitely check out Manoa Falls. I highly recommend this tour!
10月下旬にツアーに参加し、期待以上に大満足でした!!大自然のエネルギーをたっぷりチャージしたい方におすすめです。
英語と日本語を交互にお話ししてくださるツアーガイドさんのおかげで、楽しく参加できました!
植物のことなど教えてくださいますので、ワクワク感が増します!はじめてマノアの滝に行かれる方は、ぜひこのツアーに参加してみてください。
服装ですが、蚊が飛んでますので長ズボンがおすすめです。虫除けスプレーは持ってなければガイドさんが貸してくださいます。
最初はTシャツのうえに薄手のUVパーカーを羽織っていましたが、じんわりと汗をかいたので途中でパーカーは脱ぎました。
前日の雨で、足元は多少ぬかるんでましたがスニーカーに泥がついた程度。最後にホースの水でザッと靴を洗い流せます(靴下まで濡れますが)
ペットボトルのお水は、ランチのときに配られます。歩きながら汗をかいて喉が乾くので、お水の持参を忘れずに!
マノアの滝で大満足したあとは、タンタラスの丘へ。夜景ツアーは何度か参加したことがありますが、昼間のタンタラスの丘ははじめて!とても良い眺めで最高!
ランチのサンドイッチはパストラミを選んで大正解!地元で人気のお店のサンドイッチを並ばずに食べられるなんてラッキー!とーっても美味しかったです!
マノアの滝、ぜひ行ってみてください。こちらのツアーおすすめですよー!
It was a good decision to have an all-you-can-drink option since water costs the same as juice. There was a Japanese guide who helped us with reserving seats and recommended good spots, which was very helpful. The attractions included options for babies and children as well as thrilling ones. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication.
水でもジュースと同じ料金がかかるので飲み放題があって正解でした。
日本人の案内の方がいて、いすの場所取りおおすすめ場所など教えていただき、たすかりました。アトラクションは、赤ちゃん、子供向けとスリリングなものとありました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めしたほうがいいかもです
I was excited to see the attractions in the pictures, but only three were operational. It was my mistake to rent two with roofs, and there was no advice regarding that. I opted for the lunch package, but even with the transportation included, 93,112 yen for that is too expensive.
アトラクションは画像で見るとワクワク期待したのですが
3つしか稼働してなく、こちらのミスですが屋根付きのを二つも
レンタルしていて それに対するアドバイス等は何もなく
昼食付にしましたが 送迎込みでも あれで93,112円は
高すぎる
I could see that the crew was doing their best to entertain the guests. The volleyball at the sandbar and the sea turtle watching were both fun (we saw more than 10 turtles). The hamburger made by the female captain was also delicious. The explanations from the Japanese crew were concise and easy to understand.
During the final snorkeling at the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. I even saw a dragonfish chasing other tropical fish at high speed!
The only downside for me was that it was cold. I had heard it would be chilly coming out of the sea, so I prepared extra towels and a jacket, but the water was quite cold too, and I ended up shivering. If I had stayed in the water and moved around more, it might have been better. Considering the occasionally cloudy weather and the fact that it was November, I suppose it can't be helped.
However, I was able to have a wonderful time in the Hawaiian sea for the first time. Thank you to all the crew!
クルー達が一生懸命客を楽しませようとしてくれてるのがわかった。
サンドバーでのバレーボールも゙ウミガメウォッチングも楽しかった。(10匹以上見られた。)女性キャプテンの焼いてくれたハンバーグのハンバーガーも美味しかった。日本人のクルーの説明も簡潔でわかりやすかった。
最後の珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルでは、たっくさんの魚を見ることができた。ドラゴンフィッシュが他の熱帯魚を猛スピードで追いかけてるのも゙見た!
私にとっての唯一の難点は寒かったこと。海からあがると寒いとは聞いてたので、予備のバスタオルとか上着とかを用意して行ったが、水の中も結構寒くてガタガタ震えてしまった。海からあがらないで、水の中でもっと動いてたら、マシだったかも。時々曇ったりする天気と11月という季節を考えたら、仕方ないかと思う。
でも、初めてのハワイの海で素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。クルーの皆さん、ありがとう!
We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!
家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます!
The waves were high enough for surfing, and the water was murky, so I couldn't see a single fish. It was cold due to the strong wind, making it tough to stay on the beach.
I spent about 13,000 yen on the tour and entrance fee to go snorkeling, so I wish they would allow cancellations or not operate on days with such poor conditions. I was really disappointed.
サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。
ツアー代と入場料で約13000円かけてシュノーケルしに行っているので、海がこんなコンディションの日は催行しないかキャンセルを選択できるようにしてほしいです。本当にガッカリでした。
Dexter was a great guide with tons of information about not only the specific tour items but also the island and people in general. Rainy morning made volcano viewing tough but that’s Mother Nature. The helo tour of volcanos in the afternoon more than made up for things!
We participated as a family of four (ages 3 and 8)♪ We took a shuttle bus from the meeting point. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member was waiting at the entrance and kindly guided us to the free chairs in the kids' area, saying, "Everyone, please follow me!" It was very nice of them. There were relatively few guests, and there were plenty of shaded areas to rest. The free drinks were also great. However, there were no tea or water options, only juice, so I got a bit thirsty, haha. At the food court, card payments required showing a copy of the passport, so I was prepared, but with Apple Pay, there was no need for the passport copy; I could just tap the machine to make the payment. The official website has information about events, etc.^_^ Since the kids love Disney movies, we chose to go on Movie Day, when we could watch on a big screen while swimming. It was so much fun that we wished we could stay a few more hours^_^ Thank you very much!♪
家族4人(3歳&8歳)で参加しました♪ 集合場所からシャトルバスで向かいました。現地到着すると入り口で日本人のスタッフさんが待っていてくれ、『皆さん着いてきてください〜!』とキッズエリア前の無料のチェアまで一緒に案内してくださったり、とても親切でした。比較的お客さんも少なく、日陰も多く休めるところがたくさんありました。またフリードリンクも良かったです。ただ、お茶系やお水はなく、ジュースしか選択肢がないので喉が乾きました笑 フードコートでカード支払いはパスポートコピー提示とあり準備して行きましたが、ApplePayはパスポートコピー提示はなく、機械にかざすだけで決済できました。事前に公式HPで、イベントなど記載してあります^_^子どもたちはディズニー映画が大好きなので、泳ぎながら大スクリーンで見れるMovieDayの日にしました。楽しくてあと数時間いたいくらいでした^_^ありがとうございました♪
I was a bit anxious because the pickup bus took a long time to arrive. The guide who showed up after the scheduled time directed us to a bus that had been parked a distance away for over 20 minutes, so I wonder if the guide was late? We also had to wait a bit for the return bus, so while the tour was good, the bus experience was a bit lacking.
The tour provided guidance in Japanese, and the staff were very friendly to the little kids, which made it enjoyable for everyone! The sandbar was about waist to chest deep, and my 11-month-old was able to have their first experience in the ocean with a float. The hamburgers on the boat were also very delicious, and we saw several sea turtles swimming from the boat! The snorkeling area was larger than I expected; my husband went around the whole area, but I was scared, so I enjoyed snorkeling nearby, and I was still able to see many fish and corals. They kindly taught us how to snorkel, and if you’re not a strong swimmer, they provided flotation devices.
The weather was nice, so I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and had a fulfilling day.
ピックアップのバスが中々来なくて少し不安になりました。時間を過ぎて現れた案内人が案内してくれたバスは20分以上前から離れたところに停まっていたため、案内人が遅れていたのかな?帰りのバスもすこし待たされたため、ツアーは良かったけどバスがちょっとイマイチだったかな。
ツアーは日本語で案内もしてくれるし、小さい子どもにもたくさん声をかけてくれて楽しく参加することができました!サンドバーは腰から胸くらいの深さで、11ヶ月の子どもも浮き輪で初めての海デビューをすることができました。船上でのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメも船から何匹も泳いでいるところがみえました!シュノーケリングポイントは思ったより広くて、夫は一周まわってきましたが、私は怖かったので近くでシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、それでもたくさんの魚やサンゴを見ることができました。シュノーケリングの仕方も優しく教えてくれるし、泳ぎが得意でなければ、浮具も貸してもらえていました。
天気も良かったので、ハワイのきれいな景色も堪能して、一日充実して過ごすことができました。
My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.
I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set
The snorkeling and sandbar experience was very enjoyable, and the lunch was delicious. During the morning tour, the tide was high. It was a bit disappointing that the water was up to my waist at the sandbar, but I was satisfied because the weather was nice.
シュノーケリング・サンドバー体験はとても楽しかったですし、ランチもとても美味しかったです。午前のツアーで満ち潮でした。サンドバーは腰ぐらいまで水があり残念でしたが、天気は良かったので満足です。
My sister and brother-in-law were delighted and surprised with their late greeting. So happy I had arranged for that with you. Our greeter was able to find us amidst the confusion of finding bags and a long travel day. Really appreciate that!
Aloha Cynthia! Thank you for the wonderful review! Your greeter, Leisha, was very happy to greet you all. We hope your visit to the island was an eventful one~
Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.
Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.
Since I visited in early November, there were few users and almost no waiting time. There were some attractions that were closed from the start (like the lazy river) and activities that closed early. There were slides that you can't experience in Japan, and both my kids and I had a great time.
11月上旬に行ったので利用者が少なく待ち時間がほとんどなかったです。最初からクローズになっているもの(流れるプール)やクローズになる時間が早いアクティビティもありました。日本では体験できないようなスライダーがあって子供達も私も楽しむことができました。
Overall good experience, enjoyed venue , service and hawaiian dances Everyone seems to be in cheerful mood and in moments. As we are vegetarian- food was ok for us . Didn’t like patty prepared for us from Soya . I will recommend overall as memorable experience.
I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.
このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。
It was an enjoyable leisure pool that was quite family-friendly! While there wasn't anything particularly amazing, there were various slides, and I think spending about 2 to 3 hours there is just right!
Parking was around $20, and the lockers inside the park were about $10.
The slide boats are free, but they are reused, so be sure to grab one from someone at the slide exit.
子供連れが多い普通に楽しいレジャープールでした!特別すごい何かってわけではないけど色んなスライダーとかあって、コンテンツとしては2、3時間行くぐらいがちょうど良いかと!
駐車場は20ドル、園内のロッカーは10ドルぐらいだったかと!
スライダーのボートは無料ですが使い回しなので、スライダー降り口で誰かのもらいましょう。
It might be surprisingly unknown, but visiting allows you to learn about Hawaii from 200 years ago, which was quite interesting! The interior design of the buildings was also well done!
意外と知られてない?かもしれないが、行ってみると200年前のハワイとかを知れて結構面白かった!
建物の内装もグッドデザインでした!
Aloha! Thank you for visiting us! We also appreciate your comments! We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the museum! Mahalo!
Aloha! ご来館ありがとうございました!またこちらへのコメントも頂きありがとうございます!ミュージアムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたらこちらも嬉しい限りです!Mahalo!
There were several activity companies for the sandbar, so I carefully chose this one. The key points were the long duration of the stay and the appealing hamburger lunch on the boat. The weather was great, and my excitement was high from the start. The female guide was very experienced, and it was nice that the group was divided into Japanese and English speakers. She took a lot of photos, and since we could practice snorkeling at the sandbar, my friends who were trying it for the first time seemed to enjoy it without any confusion. Everything was perfect until the end, and I can only say that I was glad to participate.
This trip to Hawaii only had this water activity planned, so it became a wonderful memory.
サンドバーへのアクティビティの会社はいくつもあったのでかなり吟味してここに決めました。ポイントは滞在時間が長い事、船上でのハンバーガーランチが魅力的だった事です。お天気も良くて始まりからテンションが上がりました。ガイドの女性もとても慣れていらして日本語と英語でグループ分けされていたのも良かったです。写真も沢山撮ってくれてサンドバーでシュノーケルの練習が出来たので初めての友人もシュノーケリングに戸惑う事なくとても楽しめたようです。最後まで完璧で参加して良かったの言葉しか出ませんでした。
今回のハワイは海遊びをこれしか予定していなかったのでとても良い思い出になりました。
