Oahu
This shuttle made visiting Manoa Falls easy. Pick-up in Waikiki was on time, and the ride was comfortable.
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。
A sunshade is essential.
日差し除けは必須です。
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。
薄手でもいいので羽織れる物は持参がマストです。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are truly delighted that you were overall satisfied with the Nova Five Star cruise during your honeymoon in Hawaii. We also appreciate the beautiful sunset photos you shared. It must have created wonderful memories in Hawaii that you will never forget. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。そして、ハワイでの新婚旅行でのノバファイブスターのクルーズを全体的に満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。素敵なサンセットのお写真も有難うございました。一生忘れられないハワイでの素敵な思い出となったことでしょう。次回もまたハワイでお待ちしております。
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.
We had an early morning meeting, but they arrived on time to pick us up. The guidance was in English only, and since my English skills are non-existent, I couldn't understand the conversation at all, but it seemed like the guide was doing their best. (I'm sorry...) It was a mixed taxi, but the air conditioning was extremely strong, so even someone like me who gets hot easily was shivering, so I think a jacket is essential. The weather was nice, and even though it was February, we could see the beautiful sunrise.
朝早くからの集合でしたが、、時間通りにお迎えきていただけました。英語のみの案内なので、当方英語力皆無で、トーク内容は全然わかりませんでしたが、一生懸命ガイドしていただいてるようでした。(すみません。。)混合タクシーでしたが、めちゃめちゃ冷房が効いていて、暑がりの私でも震えましたので上着は必須だと思います。
お天気も良く、2月の時期でしたが朝日もきれいにみえました。
It's cold in the morning. A jacket is a must. I recommend bringing a light snack. You can change clothes in a small private room that resembles a locker for one person in the restroom.
朝は寒いです。上着必須です。軽食は持参して行くことをお勧めします。着替えはお手洗いの中に1人用の小さなロッカーみたいな個室?でできました。
The fishing guy was very helpful, fixed all the issues. Good service, but I wanted more fish.
Thank you for taking the time to give us this feedback! Great having you aboard and we all love more fish! Hope to see you again soon tight lines until next time! Mahalo!
It's all in English (laughs). My daughter, who can hear but doesn't understand English, was confused. But we managed somehow! At one point, my 4-year-old daughter was surprised and cried when she got splashed with water, but I enjoyed it until the end! They took many precious photos of my timid daughter trying her best to pet the dolphins. When you give a signal, the dolphins perform various tricks based on that signal. It was so much fun!
オールイングリッシュです(笑)
私は聞き取れても英語がわからない娘は???でした。
なんとかなります!
途中、4歳の娘はお水をかけられてびっくりして泣いてしまいましたが私は最後まで楽しめました!
ただ、ビビリな娘が頑張ってイルカさんを撫でているところなど沢山お写真に納めてくださり貴重な体験ができました。
ただ合図するとイルカさんはその合図によって色んなパフォーマンスをしてくれます。
楽しかったです〜!
You don't necessarily have to wear a swimsuit since you won't be getting in the water! Flip-flops are fine.
水に入らないので絶対水着じゃ無いとダメってことは無いです!ビーサンが良いです
Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!
The hotel pickup was on time. A friendly driver took us to the location while providing sightseeing information. The weather at Hanauma Bay was perfect. Since the number of visitors is limited, we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a spacious and relaxed environment. The return pickup time was also accurate, allowing us to spend our time efficiently and as planned.
ホテルのピックアップは予定時間通り。フレンドリーなドライバーが観光案内をしながら現地まで送ってくれました。ハナウマ湾の天気は最高でした。
入場者数が制限されているので、ゆったりとしたスペースでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
帰りのお迎え時間も正確で、無駄なく予定通りの時間を過ごすことができました。
We participated in a trip to Hawaii as a couple. We traveled by boat from Hilton Hawaiian Village to the submarine waiting area. The sea breeze was pleasant, and we enjoyed the scenery.
However, the waiting time after boarding the submarine until departure was a bit long, and I got seasick during that time due to the rocking. Once we started moving, I felt better, but if you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to take some medication beforehand.
Under the sea, we saw coral reefs, colorful fish, and even the remains of a sunken ship and airplane, which were impressive and enjoyable! I highly recommend it for aquarium lovers.
Although I felt a bit nauseous, we were both moved, saying, "You don't often get to see a view like this." The experience of actually diving underwater was precious, and it was a memorable tour in Hawaii.
夫婦でハワイ旅行中に参加しました。ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジから船で潜水艦の待機場所まで移動しました。海風が気持ちよく、景色を楽しめました。
ただ、潜水艦に乗り込んでから出発までの待ち時間が少し長く、その間に揺れで酔ってしまいました。動き出してからは落ち着きましたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いです。
海中ではサンゴ礁やカラフルな魚、沈没船や飛行機の残骸まで見られて、見応えがあり、楽しめました!水族館好きにはオススメです。
少し酔ってしまったものの、夫婦で「こんな景色はなかなか見られないね」と感動しました。海の中を実際に潜って見られる体験は貴重で、ハワイの思い出に残るツアーでした。
First, there will be a photo session, and on the way back, you can come for sales. The photo alone costs about $40, and with merchandise, it's about $60.
始めに写真撮影があり、帰りに販売に来られます。写真のみで約40ドル、グッズ付きだと約60ドルでした。
It was convenient since it is now reservation-based. I had just enough time to go hiking. The guide was also English-speaking and provided sightseeing information throughout the drive.
現在、予約制になっているので楽でした。
時間も余裕が少しあるくらいで登山できました。ガイドさんも英語でしたが、運転中もずっと観光案内してくれました。
I recommend it for those who want to take it slow in the morning.
朝ゆっくりしたい方にはおすすめです。
I thought a relaxing tour at Kualoa Ranch would be nice, so I chose this option. You can experience the magnificent nature of Hawaii. Next, I think an ATV tour would be good as well.
クアロア・ランチのツアーの中でのんびりツアーも良いかなと思い、これを選択。ハワイの壮大な自然を感じる事が出来ます。次はバギーも良いかと思っております。
This time we were blessed with great weather and had fun playing at a very beautiful sandbar. The staff were friendly and enjoyable, and the lunch hamburger was delicious!
I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii.
Thank you very much.
今回はお天気に恵まれ、とても綺麗なサンドバーで遊べました。
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーで楽しく
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
またハワイを訪れた際は参加したいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。
I saw various things submerged, including coral reefs and many fish. I also learned about the efforts being made to protect the marine environment and gather the fish.
色々なものが沈んでいて、珊瑚礁、魚もたくさん見れました。魚達を集めるため、海の環境を守るために努力されていることも知ることができて勉強になりました。
Don't forget to download the Japanese version! You can enjoy it until the very end, so please don't let your guard down.
日本語版ダウンロードは忘れないように!最後の最後まで楽しめるので、油断しないでください。
While the day was sad knowing the deaths and hardships faced, it was also a day of learning and exploring, see how the wonderful tributes have been addressed by the powers that be for Pearl Harbour is very honourable for the families and surrounds.
We had a wonderful tour guide Sam who was very knowledgeable, and a very friendly manner, a good addition to our day
I like how it all is, the day is good and happy and pleased to have been able to see it all
This was the one tour that my soon-to-be husband wanted to do since he is a big World War II fan. Our favorite part was visiting the USS Arizona and the aerial museum. The audio tour at Pearl Harbor was insightful for myself not knowing as much as my partner. It was a very long day and we were very hot when we got to the USS Missouri. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the pick up and drop off at our hotel.
Wear comfy shoes and a hat is highly recommended.
Aloha Kara,
Mahalo for your five-star review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Pearl Harbor tour with lunch by Polynesian Adventure. We’ve shared your kind words with your driver — we're sure it will put a smile on his face. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable island adventure!
With warm aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana’
We used it with our family again this year. Everything was delicious, from the first salad to the pasta and dessert. In particular, the papaya in the salad and the tiramisu were outstanding. Of course, the crab pasta and coffee were great too.
去年に引き続き家族で利用しました。
最初のサラダから、パスタ、デザート、全てが美味しかったです。
特に、サラダのパパイヤとティラミスは得点が高かったです。
もちろんカニパスタとコーヒーも・・・。
The all-inclusive course definitely feels like a great deal.
やっぱりすべてが付いているコースはお得感があります。
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.
Wear comfortable shoes and take water.
Enjoyed the whole experience was very entertaining
My wife and I enjoyed the tour of the movie and TV locations. Seeing the actual site of the filming locations was fun. Very beautiful area. The WW2 bunker was very interesting as well.
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
I climbed with my 6-year-old child, and we climbed more energetically than anyone else.
6歳の子供と登りましたが、誰よりも元気に登りました
We gathered early in the morning and took about an hour to get to Hanauma Bay. I chose a plan with an English-speaking driver instead of one with a Japanese-speaking instructor or driver to save on costs, but I didn't have any particular issues. As long as I knew the meeting time and place for the return, I was fine.
Since it was early in the morning, it was still a bit chilly, so we leisurely claimed our spot on the sand and ate the breakfast we brought before going snorkeling.
We had about four hours, which I thought was more than enough time.
There were seals or sea lions on the beach, and we saw many fish while snorkeling. By the way, it seems that there are more fish on the left side of the beach.
Due to its popularity, people started arriving in droves around 10 AM, and it got crowded.
朝早くから集合して約1時間くらいかけてハナウマ湾へ行きます。
お値段を気にして日本語がわかるインストラクターやドライバーのプランではなく英語のドライバーでしたが特に困ったことはありませんでした。
帰りの集合時間と場所さえわかれば大丈夫です。
朝方なのでまだ寒いのでのんびり砂浜で場所とりして買ってきた朝ごはんを食べてからシュノーケリングしました。
時間は4時間ほどあるので十分すぎると思います。
浜にアザラシ?トド?がいたりシュノーケリングも多くの魚が見れました。
ちなみに浜の左側が魚が多いようです。
人気のため10時頃からぞくぞくと人が来て混雑してました。
I participated in October, and it wasn't cold, so I didn't need to rent a wetsuit. The bus ride to and from the location might have been colder due to the air conditioning. The seawater felt a bit cooler than Waikiki Beach.
I attended with my mother, who is in her 70s, but it seemed like we inflated her life jacket too much, causing her to float on her back and not be able to snorkel properly. There was a stick-like flotation device on the boat, and I thought we should have borrowed that from the beginning.
Also, the vegetable wrap for lunch came with sauce, but it was filled with tasteless beans, which was quite disappointing.
That said, we were able to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and above all, we enjoyed the magnificent scenery. The staff were cheerful and kind, and the singing and dancing were fun; I especially found the male hula dance interesting since it was my first time seeing it.
However, it was unfortunate that the floor wasn't very clean and the restroom had a persistent odor.
10月の参加でしたが寒くなく、ウェットスーツは借りなくて大丈夫でした。行き帰りのバスの方が冷房が寒いかもしれません。海水はワイキキビーチより少々冷たい感じでした。
70代の母と参加しましたがライフジャケットに空気を入れすぎたのか浮力でくるくると上を向いてしまってうまくシュノーケリングできませんでした。
船に棒状の浮き具がありましたので、それを最初からお借りすればよかったと思いました。
あとお昼のベジタブルラップはソースはついているものの無味の豆が沢山入っていて何とも微妙でした。。
ともあれイルカの群れもウミガメも見れましたし、なにより雄大な風景が楽しめました。
スタッフの方も明るく親切で歌やダンスも楽しく、特に男性フラダンスは初めて見たので面白かったです。
ただ床があまりきれいではなかったのとトイレが終始匂っていたのは残念でした。
Motion sickness medication is essential. For those who are not physically active during snorkeling, I think borrowing a float will allow you to relax and float leisurely.
酔い止めは必須。シュノーケリングの時に運動不足の方は浮きをお借りした方がのんびりプカプカできると思います。
Thank you very much for participating and for your very kind and warm review. Your detailed comments based on your actual experience regarding the sea conditions in October and the bus air conditioning will be incredibly helpful for future guests.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused when your mother had difficulty snorkeling due to the buoyancy of the life jacket. I regret that our staff did not provide sufficient prior information. We will work on improving our communication to offer necessary support more proactively, such as suggesting floatation devices.
I also sincerely apologize for the vegetable wrap not being to your taste, as well as for your comments regarding the cleanliness of the boat and the smell of the restroom. We take your feedback seriously and will make improvements to ensure a more comfortable experience for our guests.
That said, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, beautiful scenery, and the staff's dances and songs. We hope that seeing the male hula was a memorable part of your experience.
Your suggestions about motion sickness remedies and floatation devices are greatly appreciated and will be helpful for future guests. Thank you for sharing your insights.
If you have the opportunity, we would love for you and your family to come back and visit us again. Our staff will continue to strive to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable tour.
Thank you once again for your warm feedback.
Mahalo! 🌺
この度はご参加いただき、またとても丁寧で温かいレビューをお寄せくださり誠にありがとうございます。
10月の海のコンディションやバスの冷房など、実際の体験に基づく詳細なコメントは、今後ご参加されるお客様にも大変参考になる貴重なお声です。
お母様がライフジャケットの浮力でうまくシュノーケルができなかったとのこと、ご不便をおかけしてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。スタッフから事前のご案内が行き届かず心苦しく存じます。今後は棒状のフロートなど、必要なサポートをより積極的にお声がけできるよう改善してまいります。
またお食事のベジタブルラップがお口に合わなかった点、そして船内の清掃やトイレの匂いに関するご指摘につきましても重ねてお詫び申し上げます。いただいたお声は真摯に受け止め、より快適にお過ごしいただけるよう改善いたします。
とはいえ、イルカやウミガメ、美しい景色、そしてスタッフのダンスや歌を楽しんでいただけたと伺い、私たちも大変嬉しく思います。特に男性フラをご覧いただけたこと、思い出のひとつになっていれば幸いです。
酔い止めや浮き具へのアドバイスも、実体験に基づいたありがたいご提案です。今後のお客様にも参考になるお言葉をありがとうございます。
また機会がございましたら、ぜひご家族で遊びにいらしてください。スタッフ一同、より快適で楽しいツアーをご提供できるよう努めてまいります。
温かいご投稿、本当にありがとうございました。
マハロ!🌺
The pick up from he hotel was seamless and boarding the cruise ship was quick. Table service was slow but the food was excellent. The sunset and following fireworks was a great experience and I would recommend this adventure
This was a great day out and suitable for families. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made it a fun day out.
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.
Dress appropriately, not a hike to do in slipper (flip flops) or dress/casual shoes, hiking shoes.
From our pick up in Waikiki to drop off our trip was wonderful!
The team on the catamaran was friendly , knowledgeable & fun.
We will definitely book again next time we are back .
The sunset was also atmospheric, and the performances, music, and food were delicious. You can also see fireworks before returning to port. I recommend it for newlyweds and couples.
サンセットもムードありますし、演奏や音楽、食事も美味しかったです。帰港前には花火も見られます。新婚さんやカップルにはおすすめです。
The boat sways more than I expected, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to take some anti-nausea medication in advance.
思ったよりゆらゆらと船が揺れるので、乗り物酔いする方は、事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いです。
Thank you very much for visiting our Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are honored that you enjoyed the dining and entertainment at Nova Five Star, as well as the sunset and fireworks in Hawaii. We are delighted to have been able to help create wonderful memories for you. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦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エンターテインメントそして、ハワイでのサンセットに花火も楽しで頂きスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事を嬉しく思います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
I was worried about the pickup location, but I confirmed it the day before, so I was able to arrive on time. The shallow sea was amazing; I could see beautiful fish underwater while standing, and it wasn't scary at all.
ピックアップ場所が心配でしたが、前日に確認したので遅れずに行けました。
遠浅の海で、足が付いた状態でも海中にいる綺麗なお魚が見えて怖くなくて最高でした。
It's a good idea to bring a leisure sheet when sitting on the beach.
海岸に座る際のレジャーシートは持っていった方が良いです。
Unfortunately, I'm not good at English and can hardly speak or understand it, but my desire to see a powerful luau won out, and I decided to participate! I'm really glad I joined. The spectacular show was breathtaking! The staff were considerate of us, who struggle with English, and even though we were late returning, they kindly called out to us at the nearest bus stop. I was able to feel the Hawaiian atmosphere and culture, and it became a wonderful memory. ^_^
残念ながら英語が苦手で、話すことも聞き取ることもほとんどできないのですが、迫力のあるルアウが観たい気持ちが勝り、参加を決めました!
参加して本当によかったです。
迫力満点のショーは圧巻でした!
スタッフの方が英語が苦手な私たちを気遣ってくれ、帰りは遅くなりましたがバスも最寄りで声を掛けてくれるなど最後まで親切でした。ハワイらしい雰囲気や文化を感じることができ、とても良い思い出になりました^_^
On the bus to the destination, there was an explanation about the flow after arrival and meals, but I could hardly hear it. However, I had watched a YouTube video uploaded by someone who had been ther
行きのバスの中で、到着後の流れや食事などの説明がありましたが、ほとんど聞き取れませんでした。事前に他に行かれた方がUPしたYouTubeを観て確認していたため困ることはありませんでした。
