Oahu
Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.
シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました!船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです!ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。
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。
Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.
This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!
NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.

The Pure Land existed. While listening to a ukulele performance, we took a boat to a diving spot, dove in a place with beautiful coral reefs and many fish, and enjoyed canoeing. I was able to create unforgettable memories.
極楽浄土が存在しました。ウクレレの演奏を聴きながら、ダイビングスポットまで船で行き、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚がたくさんいるところでダイビングし、カヌーにのって楽しみました。忘れられない思い出をつくることができました。
We are very pleased that you enjoyed the tour and that it became one of your unforgettable memories. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
ツアーを楽しんで頂き、何よりも忘れられない思い出の1つになった事を大変嬉しく思います。この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
Instructor Dan pulled me along, even though I'm not a good swimmer. I felt very safe and was able to go far out, and I got to see sea turtles up close. Since it was a small group, I could take my time watching the sea turtles, and it was the first time I felt so relaxed while snorkeling. It truly was the best memory!

とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。
少人数なので
海ガメをゆっくり見ることが出来たし
あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは
初めてです。
本当に最高の思い出です!
At first, I was indeed anxious about riding in a Cessna, but once we took off and I looked down from the sky, it felt really good and I enjoyed it. The pilot was surprisingly a woman and she even spoke Japanese, making it the best first experience in a Cessna. I have another trip to Hawaii planned in three years, so I definitely want to ride again. Also, during the round-trip transfer, the owner's entertaining Kansai talk was enjoyable, and my wife and I had a great conversation.
最初はやはりセスナに乗るのは不安がありましたが離陸して空から下を見ているととても気持ちがよくて良かったですね パイロットさんもビックリ女性で日本語まで話せて最高なセスナ初体験でした。3年後に又ハワイ旅行の予定があるので是非また乗りたいです それと行き帰りの送迎ではオーナー様の楽しい関西トークも楽しくて妻と話がとても盛り上がっていました
A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it

I had never tried parasailing before, and I was a bit anxious, but once I experienced it, it was over in no time, leaving only the joy of a wonderful experience. The view from 150 meters above was fantastic, especially with the good weather. There seems to be a weight limit, but it was great that three adults could ride together. Thank you very much.
パラセーリングは一度もやったことが無くて、少し不安もありましたが、体験してみればあっという間に終わって、楽しさだけが残る素敵な経験をしました。150メートルの上空の見晴らしは、天気も良くて、最高の景色でした。体重制限もあるようですが、大人3人一緒に乗れて良かったです。ありがとうございました。
I had an amazing time! However, a couple of things to note: there is more dust than I expected, so it's a good idea to consider your clothing and bags. They will get dirty. It seems there are lockers available, so it might be wise to store anything that could get dirty.
Also, the buggies are designed for American specifications, so the accelerator is positioned quite far back, which can be tough for shorter people. My wife drove at first but stopped partway through. Additionally, the seatbelt is very stiff and makes it difficult to drive. I had to loosen it several times while driving.
If you keep these points in mind, it was truly enjoyable, and the views were fantastic.
最高に楽しかったです!
ちょっと注意点ですが、想像以上に砂埃があるので服装やバックは考えた方がいいです。汚れます。ロッカーもあるみたいなので汚れて困るものは預けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと、バギーははアメリカ仕様のためか、アクセルが奥にあって身長が低い人はかなり辛いと思います。私の妻は最初運転しましたが、途中からやめました。また、シートベルトはとても硬くて運転しにくいです。何度も緩めて運転しました。
この点を注意してもらえれば本当に楽しかったですし、最高の景色でした。
The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.
The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.
Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!
Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.

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。
Driving a four-wheeler on the mountainous trails with elevation changes in the great outdoors, kicking up dust and splashing water, was an amazing experience! I didn't understand any English, but it was totally fine! I'm glad I took on the challenge.
大自然の中、、高低差の山道を四輪バギーで走行し、砂ぼこりと、水しぶきをあげながらの体験は、最高でしたー!!英語が全くわからなかったけど、全然大丈夫!チャレンジしてよかった
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。
This definitely feels like a movie set, given its scale. However, when riding the buggy, make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or even throwing away! You'll get covered in a ton of dust and mud, so it's definitely better to change afterward! Honestly, I underestimated it. You’ll get covered in dust that is impossible to completely shake off! Once you accept that it's okay to get dirty, the best buggy experience begins!
こりゃぁ映画のロケ地になるわな、という規模感
ただし、バギーに乗る際は汚れても捨ててもいい服で!めちゃくちゃ砂埃と泥被るので着替えた方が絶対いいです!!正直なめてました。まず全て落とすことは不可能な砂埃をかぶります!
汚れてもいいやと開き直ったら、最高のバギー体験の幕開けです!!
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!
The meeting place was close to the hotel, allowing us to use our time effectively. It was a wonderful experience to see the scenery of Waikiki from the sky.
集合場所がホテルから近く、時間を有効的に使えました。
空から見るワイキキの風景が見れて、素晴らしい体験ができました。
The view from 150 meters was a lifelong memory! The blue sky, beautiful ocean, city, and seeing Diamond Head from the air was a unique experience. The captain and staff provided excellent service and made it enjoyable. My elementary school daughter said it became her best memory of Hawaii.
高さ150メートルから見た風景は一生の記念になりました!青い空、キレイな海、街、ダイヤモンドヘッドを空から見ると一味違いました。
船長とスタッフさんもサービス満点で楽しませてくれました。
小学生の娘は、一番のハワイの思い出になったと言っていました。
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。
I went with my two elementary school children and family. The Japanese staff at the reception were very polite and helped us enter smoothly. The locker fee seemed a bit high, but we used it for peace of mind. There were many slides, and seeing my children happily sliding down multiple times made me feel that it was worth coming.
小学生の子供2人と家族で行きました。
受付に日本人スタッフさんが丁寧に対応してくれてスムースに入れました。
荷物ロッカー代が高い印象でしたが、安心のために利用しました。
スライダーが沢山あり、こどもが楽しそうに何度も滑っている姿を見て、来てよかったと感じました。
Fully enjoyed the ranch tour. We did the Jurassic valley movie tour in open wi Dow bus. Our guide was fantastic, engaging with everyone and very informative. Helping out taking group photos for everyone that asked. We watched groups go by in the jeep tours which also looked like they would be a lot of fun.
It wasn't too intense; we gradually ascended into the sky and enjoyed a leisurely activity. The boat swayed quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. They took photos for us, which were available for purchase. There wasn't any strong pressure to buy. I was relieved that our belongings were kept in a dry area on the boat. Overall, it was a fun activity!!
あまりハードな感じてはなく、緩やかに上空に上がっていき、のんびりと楽しむアクティビティでした。船は割りと揺れるので、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでくると良いかと思います。写真を撮っていただき、有料の販売でした。特に強く売り込まれることもありませんでした。心配していた荷物も船の濡れないところに置かせていただいて、安心でした。総じて楽しいアクティビやティでした!!
The person who came to pick us up was the owner from Kansai, and they were very kind and attentive. They shared stories about Hawaii, how they obtained their green card, their experience starting a business in Japan, and talked about their wife; they were very friendly and charming. The flight itself was also great, as we spent just under an hour flying over Oahu's tourist spots, and I was very satisfied. It is on the pricier side among activities, but it became a precious memory for my family. Thank you very much. Even if you can't speak English, there are friendly Japanese staff, so you can enjoy it without any worries! Definitely give flying in Hawaii a try.
送迎に来ていただいた方が、関西出身のオーナーさんでとても親身にしていただきました。ハワイのこと、グリーカードを取得した経緯、日本で起業したこと、奥さんとのお話などとても気さくで魅力的な方でした。肝心のフライトも島の半分を1時間弱かけてオアフ島の観光スポットを中心に上空を回ってくれて大満足でした。アクティビティの中では値が張る方ですが、家族の大切な思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。英語できなくても優しい日本人のスタッフもいるので全然楽しめますよ!是非ハワイの空を飛んでみましょう。
The staff were the best! They were professional & knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. It was a memorable experience just being in this scenic, beautiful area. Even the BBQ was excellent. When I come back, I will do it all over again. NOTE: the bus driver, Richard, who shuttled us, kept us entertained.
The Kualoa Experience was amazing, The tours that we did on the day had exceptional knowledgeable guides.
We also had the lunch which was delicious. We had know idea that there was that many movies and series made at the ranch.
It was quick and convenient, no hassle no fuss. Highly recommend this
When the buggies are assigned to the back of the line, the dust is overwhelming, and even with goggles on, dust gets in and it really hurts my eyes.
Afterward, my face and clothes were covered in mud and dirt, which was quite a mess! I recommend that those who participate wear clothes that they don't mind getting dirty!
If you're lucky enough to drive near the front of the line, it might not be a problem, but if you end up in the back with the buggies, it can be quite challenging, so please be careful.
後ろの方の車列にバギーがアサインされると砂埃が半端なく、ゴーグルをかけていても砂が入ってくるので目が痛くて大変でした。
終わった後も泥砂だらけで顔服がかなり汚れます笑
体験される方は汚れても良い服で参加されることをオススメします!
運良く車列の前のほうで運転できたら問題ないかもしれませんが、運悪く後ろのバギーになると大変なので気をつけてください。
This was so much fun! All of the crew were so nice and made sure everyone was having a great time. Definitely get the bumper tube rides and take some time to snorkel and enjoy the water. It was the prefect way to start our day.

We had a great time out on the ranch. The UTV tour was so much fun and the guides were passionate and very informative. It was a solid 2 hours of driving around the ranch and the views were amazing. This a must do!
