Oahu
I originally had a fear of heights, but I was able to enjoy this without much feeling of floating! If you're going to do it, I recommend the 150m option! The view is stunning! When coming down, they lower you slowly, but you do get dropped into the sea once, which is also quite fun. They do take photos, but it costs $40. Since that's expensive, we tried to take as many pictures ourselves as possible (though we couldn't capture the view from below). You will get wet, so it's best to wear clothes that can get wet (like a swimsuit). The boat sways quite a bit, so if you get motion sickness, definitely bring some motion sickness medication! (You can get water at the counter.)
元々高所恐怖症でしたが、こちらはあまり浮遊感なく楽しめました!
どうせやるなら150mをおすすめします!すごい景色の眺めがキレイです!
また降りるときはゆっくり下げてくれますが、一度海に落とされますwそれもまた面白いです。
写真は撮ってくれますが40ドルでした。高いので私たちはできる限り自分たちで撮るようにしました。(下からの眺めは撮れませんが)
濡れるので濡れてもいい服(水着等)で行くのがおすすめです。
船はかなり揺れるので酔う方は酔い止め必須です!(お水はカウンターで貰えました)
There were no other Japanese tourists on the bus for the tour. All the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content, but I could somewhat feel the atmosphere. The jungle exploration had a nice opportunity for a bit of hiking, which was great. The tour around the farm turned out to be surprisingly the most interesting and enjoyable experience. It was amazing to see the magnificent scenery that can only be found here.
ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。
From the beginning to the end you truly feel like you are part of the family. The host has such a love for Hawaiian history and the desire to preserve every ounce of it. What a beautiful display of culture. The meal was more then anyone could hope for. If time would have permitted we definitely would have attended again.
Aloha Bert and Theresa! Mahalo for writing us this review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the luau and felt welcomed. Hope to see you again the next time you're on the island! Mahalo!
The tour was amazing. There wasn't one moment of disappointment. Words can't describe how we felt when we saw the entrance to Jurassic Park. Our guide even picked fruit for us.
The scenery was very beautiful, and I could feel the sea breeze, which made it a lot of fun. From below, it looked quite high and a bit scary at first, but it wasn't scary at all. There were several other participants as well, but while waiting, the boat swayed quite a bit, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before the experience.
景色がとても綺麗で、海風も感じることが出来とてま楽しかったです。高さは下から見ると結構高くて怖そうだなと最初は思いましたが、全然怖くなかったです。他にも参加者が何組かいましたが、待っている間に結構船が揺れるので船酔いしやすいかたには酔い止めを体験前に服用されることをオススメします。
We had a great time ! We were able to try everything at our trip from snorkeling, paddle boarding and just relaxing in their floating pad ! The crew was very helpful, we added transportation and it was such a convenience to be pick up from the hotel and had a ride back also.

With a small group of up to five people, they provided attentive service. I swam (or should I say floated?!) quite a distance from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling too tired. Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles this time, I've heard they can occasionally be seen. Currently, reservations are required for Hanauma Bay, making it difficult to visit on your own, so this was truly a lifesaver!
5人迄の少人数催行なのできめ細かく対応してもらえます。ハナウマベイの端から端迄、かなりの距離を泳いだ(流れたとも言う?!)のにさほど疲労もなく楽しく過ごせました。今回はウミガメに遭遇できませんでしたが偶に見かけるそうです。今ハナウマベイは予約が必須で個人で行くのが難しくなっていますので、本当に助かりました!
Lots to do but equipment has seen better days. Bathrooms were portable
I wasn't very interested in the show at first, but I made a reservation anyway. However, once I participated, I had a great time and I'm glad I went! My family enjoyed it as well! It was also nice to have time to take photos with the performers after the show!
あまりショーは興味がなかったのですが、とりあえず予約しました。
しかし参加してみるとすごい楽しく、参加して良かったです!家族も楽しんでおりました!
ショーの後に演者と写真をとれる時間もまたよかったです!
During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!
I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!
クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました!!
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです!
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました!!
グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです!
The scenery is, without a doubt, amazing. The mountains, including Diamond Head, are breathtaking when viewed from above, with their unique topography. Photos and videos are taken by helicopter and sold for $85. It was a bit pricey, but I purchased it as a keepsake. I was that satisfied!
景色については言うまでもなく最高です
ダイヤモンドヘッドをはじめとする山々は上から見下ろすと、その独特の地形に驚かされます。
ヘリコプターでは写真や動画を撮られ、それは85ドルで販売されます。
少々高かったですが、記念に購入しました。
それほど満足度が高かったです!
I participated with my brothers and their daughters, a total of five of us. We received a lecture on how to board and paddle, and together we cooperated to push the canoe into the sea and board it. We worked hard to paddle out to the open water, and when the crew confirmed good waves, we turned direction, increased our pace to ride the waves, and successfully caught some amazing waves. That feeling was the best!
兄弟とその娘の5人で参加しました。乗り込み方、漕ぎ方のレクチャーを受け、皆で協力してまずはカヌーを海に押し入れて乗船。頑張って沖に漕ぎ出し、クルーがいい波を確認したら方向転換、波に乗るためピッチを上げて漕ぎ、見事波に乗ることが出来ました。その感覚は最高でした!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the Outrigger Canoe Surfing! Next time, please try the 1-hour canoe charter! You can ride the waves as many times as you want during that hour. Mahalo Nui Loa!
陸のパパ様:
5つ星の口コミ有難うございます!アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンを楽しんで頂けたようで何よりです!次回は1時間のカヌーチャーターをトライしてみて下さい!1時間の間に何度でも波に乗れます。マハロヌイロア!
This was the most fun water activity my friends and I did. We did the 9AM excursion so the sun was not fully out and was kind of chilly out there. But you end up warming up in the water. The snorkeling was amazing this was the most fishes that we saw during our whole time in Hawai'i (we've done snorkeling about 3x this trip). We also did the Bumper tube ride. I would only recommend this if you want some adrenaline! Since we did the 9AM, they provided donuts and OJ. I would recommend that you bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks. There is also a convenient store by the dock if you want to pick up food. If you're wondering, they DO have restrooms on the boat and a changing room as well. Bring a set of comfortable clothes to change into (: This is the 1 activity i would do again!
Mahalo for your review and sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
There are Japanese staff members who are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind. In addition to swimming with dolphins, snorkeling in the coral reef was relaxing with many turtles and tropical fish.
日本語が堪能な日本人スタッフさんが いらっしゃいますので 安心して参加出来ます。
イルカと泳ぐ他にも 珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは
亀 熱帯魚が沢山いて癒されました。
Aloha Hisa-chan,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University.
Five stars! Thank you. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Please come again. We are looking forward to seeing you.
Mahalo!
Aloha ひさちゃん様
この度はイルカ大学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
5つ星!ありがとうございます。楽しんで頂けたようで嬉しいです。
是非また来てくださいね。心よりお待ちしております。
Mahalo!
The meeting place is conveniently close to the hotel, making it easy to get there without a shuttle. The staff was kind and attentive, allowing me to enjoy parasailing with peace of mind.
集合場所もホテルから近く送迎なしで気軽に行けて便利
スタッフも親切丁寧で安心してパラセーリングを楽しめました。
The show was wonderful, but I was disappointed with the waiting time from check-in to being seated and the quality of the food.
ショーは素晴らしかったですが、チェックインタイムから着席までの待ち時間と料理の質にゲンナリしました。
This is a must! everything was amazing, so much fun. great activity and the Live Music on our boat was wonderful. enjoyed every minute of it. Staff was wonderful.
Mahalo for you review and kind words for our crew. We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again! - Team KBOS
The views you get from the Cruise are amazing, however some of the staff came off rude when trying to guide passengers on what direction to go, our dinner had a lot of people getting seasick.
This far exceeded my expectations. The staff was great and it was a really fun experience. There were tons of fish around for the snorkeling and the kayaks and stand up paddle boards were fun to use. To top it off, the live music on board the boat was too notch. This is a must do activity for your trip to Oahu.
Mahalo for your review! We are so happy to know that you enjoyed the Sandbar - Team KBOS
I thought it would be easy to run along the designated course, but the exhilarating feeling of running 20 miles through the great outdoors, with a sudden steep slope and no guardrails, was an unforgettable experience.
決められたコースを連なって走ると高を括っていましたが、急な坂にガードレールもなく大自然の中を20マイルで走る爽快感は何事にも変え難い感動がありました。
It was my first experience, and it was very refreshing and became a great memory. The instructors were fun to talk to, and they took a lot of photos for us.
初めて体験しましたが、とても爽快で良い思い出になりました。インストラクターのお兄さん達のお話も楽しく写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
The day we participated, the depth was just enough for adults to stand. Depending on the tide, it can be completely different from the photos, so it's better to check before signing up. It was also a windy day in late September, and the water temperature was low, so the kids got cold and quickly wanted to get out, which was unfortunate. (There were even babies who enjoyed it for over an hour.)
All the staff were very friendly, and it was reassuring that the Japanese-speaking staff provided thorough explanations. It was almost full, and there wasn't a place to sit, but they kindly asked us to move, which was a great help.
If you're going to snorkel, it seems better to have marine shoes. I bumped my foot against the coral reef (which you shouldn't touch) and got injured.
私たちが参加した日は、大人がやっと足がつく深さでした。潮位によっては、写真と全く異なるので、調べてから申し込んだ方が良いです。また9月下旬の風の強い日で、水温も低く子供達は寒がりすぐに出てしまい残念でした。(1時間以上楽しんでいた赤ちゃんもいました)
スタッフの皆さんは、全員感じが良く、日本語スタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださるので安心です。ほぼ満席で座る場所がなかったのですが、移動をお願いしてくださり大変助かりました。
シュノーケルをするなら、マリンシューズがあった方が良さそうです。珊瑚礁に足をぶつけてしまい(触ってはいけません)怪我をしてしまいました。
Thank you for participating in the KBOS tour. How is your injury now? I hope you are feeling better. I am very sorry that the weather and tide did not meet your expectations on the day of the tour. The conditions of the sea, such as weather and water levels, vary daily and are beyond our control, but we hope you were still able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii. Thank you for sharing your family's experience with us. From all of us at KBOS.
この度はKBOSツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました。お怪我その後どうですか?良くなっているとよいのですが。。ツアー当日はお天気、潮位ともにご期待に沿えなかったようで大変残念に思っております。天候や水位など海の状況は日々異なりコントロール出来ませんが、その様なハワイの自然も楽しんで頂ければと思い日々ツアーを催行させて頂いております。この度はご家族の体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
The meeting point is at the hotel indoor parking lot, and I got lost because I couldn't find the reception. It's better to move with some extra time. After arriving, there will be explanations of each activity in Japanese. After that, it will be in English, but I was relieved that the operation videos were in Japanese. I was happy to receive a bandana to protect against dust. The scenery was also very nice, and the guide's explanations were thorough. The kids were delighted, saying it was like a roller coaster. I thought driving was easy and that anyone could do it. I really enjoyed experiencing the great outdoors and was glad to participate. Unfortunately, it got crowded at lunchtime, and I missed the chance to buy food.
集合がホテル屋内駐車場で、受付が見つからず迷ってしまいました。
余裕持って移動したほうがよいです。
到達後日本語で各アクティビティの説明があります。
その後は英語になりますが、操作映像は日本語で安心しました。
土埃よけのバンダナが貰えて嬉しかったです。
景色もとてもよく、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧でした。
子供達もジェットコースターのようだと喜んでいました。
運転は簡単で、誰でも出来ると思いました。
大自然を満喫できて、参加してとても良かったです。
お昼は混んでしまい、購入出来ず食べ損ねました。
We were the only Japanese participants, but after the overall explanation in English, they provided individual explanations in clear English, which made it very considerate and easy for us to participate.
参加者の中で日本人は私達だけでしたが、全体で英語で説明した後に個別にわかりやすい英語で説明してもらえたり、とても気にかけてくれて参加しやすかったです。
It is true that you can race through the great outdoors and enjoy the magnificent scenery. I believe you can find satisfaction in the content through other media as well, so here are a few points to note:
- Basically, you will get dirty all over. Helmets and goggles are provided, but since they are not cleaned, just putting them on will make your head and face dirty. The vehicle is also dirty, so as soon as you sit down, your pants will get dirty. Additionally, dust from the vehicles in front will fall all over your body. By the way, in addition to the helmet and goggles, a dust mask labeled "Kualoa" is provided, but that is given as a souvenir after the tour.
- Even with goggles on, dust got into my family's eyes, so they used sunglasses or glasses as substitutes.
- Due to unforeseen circumstances, there may be times when you are left behind by the bus. The original plan was for the bus to depart 15 minutes after the 2-hour tour ended, but in reality, the tour extended to about 2 hours and 15 minutes, and when I went to the restroom afterward, I was left behind by the return bus. When I later asked the ticket booth staff, they said the bus only waited for 5 minutes after the scheduled departure time. This means I only had 5 minutes to wash my hands and face and walk from the tour location to the bus, including restroom time.
大自然の中を駆け抜けるというのは本当で、壮大な景色を楽しむことができた。内容に満足できることは他の媒体でもわかると思うので、注意点をいくつか。
・基本的に体中汚れる。ヘルメットとゴーグルが渡されるが、洗われていないため装着しただけで頭と顔が汚れる。車内も汚いので座ったらすぐにズボンが汚れる。また、前を走る車による砂埃が体中に降りかかる。ちなみにヘルメットとゴーグルの他にクアロアと書いてある防塵用のマスクが渡されるが、それはツアー終了後にお土産として渡された。
・ゴーグルをつけていても砂埃が目に入ったので家族は自分なりにサングラスやメガネで代用していた
・不可抗力によりバスにおいていかれることがある。2時間のツアーが終了して15分後にバスが出発するというのが元々の予定だったが、実際にはツアーが2時間15分くらいまで延びて、その後トイレに行っていたら帰りのバスにおいていかれた。後でチケット売り場の人に質問したら、バスは出発予定時刻の5分後までしか待っていなかったとのこと。手や顔を洗ってツアーの場所からバスまで歩く時間とトイレに行く時間を合わせて5分しかもらえなかったということになる。
I haven't driven in nearly five years, but I was relieved to manage the two-hour drive on this tour without any issues! It was certainly not monotonous; it was an exhilarating experience as we splashed through the jungle and zipped right past cows.
かれこれ5年近く運転してないペーパーだが、このツアーでの2時間のドライブは難なくこなすことができて、安心しました! ただ、もちろん単調すぎることもなく、ジャングルを水しぶきを上げながら駆け抜けたり、牛の真横をすり抜けたりとスリルあるアトラクションでした。
It's a bit disappointing that the location has changed to the rooftop parking lot; it used to be in the courtyard. As a result, the space feels smaller, and the scale of the show seems reduced. The fire dance has also become smaller. Perhaps it's due to the high cost of living.
場所が駐車場の屋上になったことが、少し残念。以前は中庭でした。
その分スペースが小さくなり、ショーの規模も小さい気がします。
ファイヤーダンスも規模が小さくなってしまった。
料理もかな
物価高だから仕方ないのかもしれません
I saw something I thought I was too old to try. This being a birthday weekend of celebrating I thought I'd step out on faith and try something new. When the opportunity came, I said, signs me up, I'm all in. Though a little nervous the crew Russell and Sharky, made you feel relaxed and offered instructions that had you moving along as if you were a pro. There was, laughter, gentle corrections and so much fun. Before you knew it you were getting strapped in and sailing in the air at 1000 ft. Who would have known it would be so much fun. I'd do this again if and or when the opportunity comes around again.
I think the staff made various efforts for us to enjoy the tour. The beach volleyball was fun. I would like to use this service again.
スタッフのみなさんが我々がツアーを楽しむために様々工夫されていたと思います。海上バレーは楽しかったです。また利用したいと思います
We had a good time good food and watching the fireworks was great I would do it again
