Oahu
The view was great as we gradually descended from a high place. Additionally, with the help of the staff, we were able to enjoy ourselves. Although it was English-only, the staff demonstrated what to do, so there were no issues.
高所から徐々に降りてくるため景色は良かった
また、スタッフの助けもあり楽しく行えました。
英語オンリーですがスタッフの人が見本を見せてくれますので問題ありませんでした
The activities were good, but the wait times were long and tiring. I think it's because there were so many people.
アクティビティーはいいですが、待ち時間が長く疲れました。
多くの人がかぶっているからだと思います。
Aloha! We had a great time on the tour. Cousin Kimo was very knowledgeable and made the information on the tour interesting. It is the perfect length to get a sneak peak of Pearl Harbor and visit the Arizona memorial with a 3 year old in tow. So glad we did it. It is also a nice way to see a few of the hot spots downtown. Thank you cousin Kimo for all the information and the jokes that made it fun.
I was so moved when I saw dolphins on an online tour that I thought I definitely wanted to participate when I went to Hawaii!
In the morning, it was raining and the weather was gloomy, but as the sun rose, it cleared up, and when we arrived at the port, there was a rainbow! We boarded the boat and headed to where the dolphins were, but it seemed like a child sitting nearby got seasick. Since it was a small boat and it rocked quite a bit, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
The wetsuits were available for rent on the day, but according to the guide, "Your body temperature rises and you become more prone to seasickness." I think most people, including us, did not rent them.
Once the dolphins were spotted, it was a flurry of activity! We quickly went outside the boat and swam to where the dolphins were. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was struggling to keep up (laughs). It felt more like watching the dolphins swim by from above rather than swimming with them.
After that, we encountered another pod of dolphins!
After the dolphin swim, we went snorkeling in a spot with lots of tropical fish. I couldn't see it, but my friend said they saw a manta ray! I find it hard to take nice underwater photos myself, but a professional photographer took beautiful pictures and videos, and I still look at them and remember the experience even after returning home. It's paid, but I think it's worth purchasing!
以前、オンラインツアーでイルカを見て感動したので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に参加したい!と思っていました。
朝は雨が降っていてどんよりした天気でしたが、日が昇るにつれ晴れてきて、港に着いたときには虹が!
船に乗ってイルカがいる地点まで向かいますが、近くの席のお子さんが船酔いをしてしまったようで…。小さな船で結構揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。
ウェットスーツは当日レンタルでしたが、ガイドさん曰く「体温が上がって酔いやすい」とのこと。私たち含め、大多数の方はレンタルしていなかったと思います。
イルカが見つかってからは大忙し!次々船の外に出て、イルカがいる場所まで泳ぎます。私は泳ぎが得意でないので、着いていくのに必死でした(笑)
イルカと一緒に泳ぐというよりは、イルカが通り過ぎるのを上から眺める感じかな。
その後もう一度イルカの群れに出会えました!
ドルフィンスイムの後は熱帯魚がたくさんいる場所でシュノーケリングをしました。
私は見れませんでしたが、友人はマンタを見れたそうです!
自分だとなかなか水中の写真は綺麗に撮れませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが綺麗な写真と動画を撮ってくださって、帰国しても眺めては思い出しています。有料ですが、購入して損はないと思います!
Aloha! Yuri,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I'm glad to hear that a rainbow appeared first thing in the morning! It seems you enjoyed meeting not only the dolphins but also the other sea creatures that day. We sincerely look forward to your next participation.
Mahalo!
Aloha! Yuri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。朝一番に虹が出たのですね!!
イルカたちだけではなく、その日に会う海の生き物たちとの出会いを楽しんで頂けたようで嬉しく思います。
またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。
Mahalo!
The parasailing experience under the clear, refreshing sky was fantastic. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time trying it.
I checked in early and spent some time on the beach right in front of me before boarding the boat. The crew was cheerful and enthusiastic, providing instructions mainly in English, but they also offered assistance in simple Japanese.
We shot up to 150 meters in the air and enjoyed views that are usually not visible. Although there is a fee, they took a lot of photos in burst mode, and I was able to receive the data transfer if I had an SD card or iPhone.
I highly recommend this activity!
天気もよく爽快な空の下のパラセイリング体験。何度かハワイに来ていますが初めてでした。
チェックインを早目に済ませ、目の前のビーチで時間を潰し、ボートに乗船。
クルーの皆さんも明るく盛り上げてくれて、指示は基本英語ですが簡単な日本語でも補助してくれます。
150m上空に一気に上がり普段は見られない景色を堪能しました。有料ですが写真は連写でかなりの枚数、SDカードとiphone であればデータ転送で受け取れました。
おすすめのアクティビティです。
Wow this activity was one of my favorites! The sandbar alone is breathtaking, but the staff made this experience wholesome. Every single worker there was incredibly so kind, definitely brought the Aloha spirit. Live music was phenomenal as well.
Mahalo for your kind words and the beautiful picture! Team KBOS
So much fun
We did the 1000ft rope.
My son was really hesitant to go up but the staff were excellent, caring, accommodating and managed to get him to do it - which he then thoroughly enjoyed, especially when getting dunked into the sea!
Excellent staff
Highly recommended activity
It felt higher than I imagined. Even for someone like me who is not good with roller coasters, I was able to ride without feeling scared. It's located about a five-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, making it convenient for those staying at the Hilton. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly enjoy the ride even with the short time I had on the day of my departure. I wasn't sure if there was an additional fee for taking photos.
想像以上に高く感じました。
ジェットコースターが苦手な私でも、恐怖を感じることなく乗れました。
ヒルトンホテルから徒歩五分くらいのところにあり、ヒルトンホテルに滞在している人に便利な立地です。おかげで、出国当日の短い時間でもサクッと乗ることができました。
写真を撮ってもらうのが別料金かかるのかわかりませんでした。
We arrived around 8:20 since we rented a car. We checked in right away at the spot with the red umbrella. It went smoothly without any issues.
I understand some English, but I felt reassured as a Japanese female guide explained everything carefully before we boarded the boat.
All the staff were very kind, and we had a great time. We played with the SUP and the boat the whole time. The person in charge of SUP was local but could speak quite a bit of Japanese, which was very helpful. (It was amusing Japanese.)
On the boat, there was water and orange juice available. While the website and reviews mentioned snacks like chips, we only had donuts during our visit. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time we returned, which was disappointing. I hope they consider having more variety and quantity of snacks. It seems inconsistent from day to day.
It's advisable to bring marine shoes, towels, hats, and rash guards since there's no shade in the water. There was only one changing area, so there was quite a line. If you dislike waiting, it's better to come back a bit earlier.
On the way back, coincidentally, a couple of musicians participating in the tour sang for us. The local staff seemed excited, so they must be famous musicians. I wonder who they are? Their child also sang along, and it was incredibly cute. The atmosphere on the boat became very warm and pleasant.
Most of the participants were Japanese, but I didn't confirm this properly, and it seemed like they didn't tip much, which made me feel a bit sorry for the staff.
Overall, I was very satisfied. The children were happy too. Thank you very much.
レンタカーでしたので、8:20頃到着。
着いてすぐに赤いパラソルのとこでチェックイン。問題なくスムーズにできました。
英語はある程度わかりますが、船に乗る前に女性の日本人ガイドが丁寧に説明してくれましたので安心しました。
スタッフはみんな優しい方ばかりで楽しかったです。
我々はずっとSUPとボートで遊んでました。
SUP担当の方は、現地の方ですが日本語をかなり話すことができサポートもあり大変良かったです。(おもしろ日本語です)
船内は水、オレンジジュースがありました。軽食はホームページや口コミではチップス等あるようでしたが、我々のときはドーナツのみ。数に限りがあったので帰りには無くなっていたのが残念です。軽食の数や種類をもう少し考えてほしいかな。日によって違うのはどうかと。。
持って行った方が良いのは、マリンシューズ、タオル、帽子とラッシュガード。海の中なので日よけがないので。
着替えるところが1か所のみなので、だいぶ並んでました。待つのが嫌な人は、少し早めにあがることですね。
帰りに、たまたま?ツアーに参加していたミュージシャン夫婦が歌ってくれました。現地スタッフは興奮していたので有名なミュージシャンのようです。誰なんでしょう?夫婦の子供も一緒に歌っていて、すごく可愛かったです。船内がとても和みました。
参加者の多くが日本人でしたが、ちゃんとは確認してませんが、あまりチップを払ってなかったようだったので、スタッフさんに少し申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
全体的にはすごく満足。子供たちも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating in the tour and sharing your experience. The afternoon tour includes light snacks and chips, while the morning tour only offers donuts. It might be a good idea to consider adding something extra to the morning tour as well. We will take your feedback into account. Overall, we are pleased to hear that you were satisfied and enjoyed your time. Thank you very much.
Best regards,
The KBOS Staff
この度はツアーへのご参加、体験をシェア頂きありがとうございました。午後のツアーは軽食やチップスをお付けしておりますが朝のツアーはドーナツのみとなっています。朝のツアーも何かもう少しプラスするなど検討したほうが良いかもですね、、ご意見参考にさせて頂きます。全体的にご満足、楽しんでいただけたとの事でうれしく思っております。ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I am so grateful to our guide, Mr. M! My third-grade daughter was extremely scared when she first jumped in, and I almost gave up thinking snorkeling in deep water would be impossible for her. However, the guide encouraged her and skillfully guided her, and by the end, she was able to do it perfectly!
We couldn't catch up to the dolphins, so only Dad got to see them, but we were able to see three turtles, which was a long-awaited dream for this trip. My daughter was so excited!
By the way, the next day we moved to another hotel, and she was saying she wanted to go snorkeling there too and was really looking forward to it. As parents, we couldn't have assisted her first snorkeling experience without Mr. M's help. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much.
とにかくガイドのMさんに感謝です!
小3娘は最初飛び込んだ時、めちゃくちゃ怖がっていたので、やっぱり足の届かないところでのシュノーケリングは無理かなぁ、と諦めかけましたが、その後にガイドさんが声かけて上手に誘ってくれ、最後はバッチリできるようになりました!
イルカは追いつけなくてパパだけしか見られませんでしたが、今回の旅で念願だったタートルはバッチリと3匹も見られました。娘、大興奮でした!
ちなみに、翌日には移動して別のホテルに入ったのですが、そこでもシュノーケリングする!と言って楽しんでました。親だけではとても娘の初シュノーケリングをアシストできませんでしたが、Mさんのおかげで出来ました。いい思い出になりました!ありがとうございました。
Thank you for your effort and challenge. I'm very happy that snorkeling became a fun memory for you. Please come back and play with your growing child again! Mahalo
頑張ってチャレンジしてくれたんですね。
シュノーケルが楽しい思い出となっていただけてとても嬉しいです。
日々成長をされているお子様とまたぜひ遊びにいらしてください!

It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!
Mahalo for the review. We are very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again. Team KBOS
The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.
Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.
思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。
また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed snorkeling. Regarding the water levels, we have a Tide chart linked on our website, so please check it out next time you participate. Thank you for joining the tour.
KBOS Staff
シュノーケルお楽しみ頂けたようでよかったです。水位に関しましては弊社WEBサイトに水位の予測Tideチャートをリンクしてますので次回ご参加の際はチェックしてみてください。ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
This was our first zipline experience and it was so much fun!! Thank you to our amazing team that lead our group. They made it much more memorable . I would definitely recommend veltra for your zipline adventure!
Easy to pre-purchase before the park, they send you the QR and your ready to go!
What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!
We had a blast!! Easy book and we liked the longer tour through the farm!
The sunset dinner cruise was quite crowded. Since I had reserved a 5-star experience, there wasn't much of a feeling of congestion when I arrived on the floor, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meal also progressed slowly, so many people went out to the deck to enjoy themselves along the way. While sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the sunset... I realized the sky was filled with stars. Fireworks erupted from Waikiki Beach, and the atmosphere on the boat reached its peak! After that, we returned to port while indulging in jazz. It turned out to be a wonderful day.
サンセットディナークルーズはかなりの混雑ぶり。5スターを予約したのでフロアに着くとそれほど混雑感は無く、ゆっくりと楽しめました。食事もかなりゆっくりと進むので、途中デッキに出て楽しんでいる方も大勢いました。サンセットを眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら…気付くと満天の星空。ワイキキビーチから花火が上がり船内の盛り上がりも最高潮!その後、JAZZに酔いしれながら帰港。素敵な1日になりました。
Thank you for choosing the Star of Honolulu Five Star Sunset Dinner Cruise. We are honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii while enjoying the sunset, a sky full of stars, and fireworks. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度はスターオブホノルル号ファイブスターサンセットデイナークルーズをご利用頂き有難うございます。サンセット、満天の星空そして、花火も楽しんで頂き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。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.
船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした!
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。
Music, activities including snorkeling, and encounters with sea turtles! We are very happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you for participating in the tour. From all the KBOS staff.
ミュージック、アクティビティにシュノーケリング、ウミガメとの遭遇!楽しんで頂けて大変嬉しく思います。ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
Great food, good entertainment, great view of the fireworks, and ended the cruise with a fun dance party!
The cabana that I was supposed to have reserved was not actually booked, and it took a considerable amount of time at the reception. It was a waste of time. The driver's attitude was not friendly.
予約したはずのカバナが予約なっておらず受付でかなり時間がかかった。時間のロスでした。運転手の愛想が悪かった。
It was a great experience!
There were no downsides at all!
I got to see beautiful scenery, and it was a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much!
とてもいい体験でした!
悪い点は一つもありません!
良い景色を見れて、良い体験になりました
ありがとうございました!
The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.
ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。
It was an amazing experience. We arrive in a boat to a sandbar, the water is clear as crystal and pure. You wan snorkel, play volleyball and tan.
If you have chance you can see turtles as well !
Mahalo for the review - Team KBOS
Even though it was summer vacation, we were able to participate in activities smoothly without waiting in line. The wave pool had large inner tubes available for free, which made the kids super excited. It was a lot of fun.
夏休みなのに、順番待ちもスムーズにアクティビティに参加できた。
波のプールも大きな浮き輪が無料貸し出しで子どものテンションが最高だった。
楽しかった。
We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.
The trip was fun and the staff were great. They gave great information about everything we were doing and safety was very important to them.
I had 2 teenage granddaughters with me. They tried paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other. I just walked around the sand bar and sat in the floating barge and talked to many others. For me it was very relaxing. And the girls loved it. They met many new friends.
Mahalo for your review! We're so glad you and your granddaughters had a great time. -Team KBOS
The staff were very cheerful, and it turned into a fun trip! I also signed up for activities, and they were enjoyable! 😊
スタッフの方もとても明るく、楽しい旅になりました!アクティビティも申し込みましたが、たのしかったです(^^)
Thank you for participating in the tour. We look forward to your participation in the tour again when you visit Hawaii. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへご参加頂きありがとうございました。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーへのご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I was worried it might be scary since I'm not good with roller coasters, but it wasn't scary at all! The scenery and the wind felt great.
ジェットコースター系が苦手なので怖いかなぁと心配していましたが、全く怖くなかったです!
景色と風が気持ちよかったです。
I participated with my 8-year-old son, and he said it was the most fun among all the activities we did. We enjoyed it more than we expected. Thank you very much.
8才の息子と一緒に参加しましたが、
いろんなアクティビティをした中で一番楽しかったと言って喜んでいました。想像以上に楽しめました。ありがとうございました。
