Oahu
I was first grateful that there were Japanese staff members since I am not fluent in English. The explanations were very clear. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, often engaging in conversation. The donuts were delicious, and there was plenty of water available.
We were able to enjoy both the banana boat and the bumper tube, and there were many types of activities to choose from. The wonderful live music was soothing, and we had a really fun time!
The weather wasn't great, so the water wasn't clear, and it was cold when the wind blew. It seems that it rains every day due to the geography, so there's not much to be done about that. I recommend wearing a rash guard.
英語が堪能でないので、日本人スタッフがいてくれたことにまず感謝でした。説明がよくわかりました。スタッフの方は皆さん明るくて、話しかけてくれたりしてとても優しかったです。ドーナツも美味しかったし、水分もたくさん用意されてました。
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ両方できて、遊べる種類もたくさんあるし、素晴らしい生演奏に癒されて、とても楽しい時間でした!
お天気がイマイチでしたので、海の中もクリアーでなく風があると寒かった。地形的に毎日雨降るそうで仕方ない所ですが。ラッシュガード着用をオススメします。
Thank you for participating in the KBOS tour. Although the weather was unfortunate, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
この度はKBOSツアーご参加ありがとうございました。お天気残念でしたが、、ツアーお楽しみ頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
We all felt like kids again, what a day of play! Hope we can be back soon.
Great crew and lovely time. The snorkeling was a little deep, but the abundance of turtles made up for it. The snacks and sodas for the sail were very welcome. Wonderful time for all!
The crew was super nice and made us feel at home. Food and drinks were great and of course the views and activities were the highlights of the trip!
Fantastic way to see the island. Flight was fun and informative. Pilot was great and the ground crew was fantastic. Was shown parts of the island I would never see from the ground. A ride and experience I will never forget.
The meeting was at 4 PM, and the start was pushed back to 5 PM instead of the planned 4:30 PM. We had kept our schedule flexible, which was good, but I felt it would be better to allow more time in the schedule.
Since several groups board the boat at the same time to head out to sea, the boat repeatedly stops and goes while waiting. Depending on the day, the waves can be high, so some people might experience significant seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to it take motion sickness medication beforehand.
It was my first time parasailing, and at first, the thrill was incredible, but once I got used to the height, it was amazing. From 150 meters up, you can see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head all at once. My family was thrilled and said it became a wonderful memory. My son, who is 8 years old, was scared at first but started shouting that it was the best part halfway through.
I highly recommend it!
集合が16時集合、16時半スタートが17時スタートと30分押してスタート。私たちはその後、予定をアバウトにしていたので良かったですが、時間は余裕を持ってスケジュールした方が良いなと感じました。
ボートで沖合まで出るのと数組同時に乗り込むので、船で待機している間は縦横無尽にボートはストップ&ゴーを繰り返します。また日によっては波が高いので、かなり船酔いされる方もいるかもしれません。弱い方は酔い止めなど飲まれていくことをオススメします。
パラセーリング初めてでしたが、初めはスリル感がハンパじゃないですが、高さに慣れてくれば最高でした。
150mからワイキキビーチ〜ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望出来ます。家族も最高の想い出になったと喜んでいました。息子も8歳で初めは怖がってはいましたが、途中から最高と叫んでいました。
是非オススメです。
I was honestly skeptical about encountering wild dolphins since it's all about luck, but I dove twice and encountered dolphin pods both times! Fortunately, I was able to see a sea turtle, which left me thrilled! The tour was packed with snorkeling and activities. Above all, the Japanese guide and the professional photographer were very considerate of all the participants and always interacted with us in a friendly manner. It was a tour that made me truly feel like I want to come back again!
野生のイルカは運だから、と正直半信半疑でしたが2回潜って2回ともイルカの群れに遭遇!幸運にもウミガメを見ることができ感激しっぱなしでした!
シュノーケルやアクティビティーもあり内容の濃いツアーでした。またなんと言っても日本人ガイドさんとプロカメラマンさんが私たち参加者全員を気遣ってくださり常にフレンドリーに接してくれました。また帰って来ますね‼︎と心から思えたツアーでした‼︎
Thank you for uploading so many wonderful photos! Please come and visit again. A Hui Hou.
素敵な写真をたくさんupしていただきありがとうございます!
是非また遊びに来てください。

Amazing. Crew were outstanding, music onboard was fantastic. Sand bar was absolutely beautiful.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this museum. The exhibits were more fulfilling than I expected, with many displays about the Hawaiian monarchy and photographs from that era, which were quite moving. You can deepen your knowledge about Polynesian culture as a whole. There are two guided sessions in Japanese at 10:30 and 11:30. We arrived at 10:45 without knowing this, but we negotiated and were allowed to join the 10:30 session (it might be a good idea to check in advance the days and times when the Japanese guide is available). In addition to the museum, there are facilities for children (playgrounds), a planetarium, and a science center, but these are not particularly impressive.
何度もハワイに旅行しましたが、こちらのミュージアムは初めて訪問しました。予想以上に充実した展示内容で、ハワイ王朝やその時代の写真展示も多く、感慨深かったです。ポリネシア文化全体についての知識を深めることができます。10:30~、11:30~の2回、日本人ガイドによる簡単な説明もあります。私たちは知らずに10:45に到着しましたが、交渉して10:30の回に入れていただきました(日本語ガイドの開催される曜日や時間は事前に確認した方がいいかもしれません)。ミュージアム以外にも、子供向けの学習施設(遊び場)、プラネタリム、科学センター等併設していますが、これらはさほどたいしたことはありません。
Thank you very much for visiting the Bishop Museum! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Hawaiian Hall Complex, which is one of the highlights of our museum where you can explore the history, culture, and traditions of Hawaii and Polynesia through our exhibits. Currently, we are offering tours at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM for about 30 minutes as much as possible after the pandemic, but as you mentioned in your comments, checking in advance will allow us to provide you with the latest information. We have special exhibitions that change periodically and new additions to our permanent exhibits, so we hope you will enjoy the museum again next time!
この度はビショップミュージアムへのご来館、誠にありがとうございました!展示品からハワイとポリネシアの歴史、文化、伝統をご覧いただける当ミュージアムの一番の見所とも言えるハワイアンホールコンプレックスをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたら私共も嬉しい限りです。パンデミック後の現在は10:30amと11:30amから約30分のツアーを可能な限り開催しておりますが、コメント頂きましたように事前にご確認頂けますと最新の情報をお伝えすることができます。期間で展示が変わる特別展や、新しく常設展示に加わるものもありますので、またどうぞ次回もミュージアムをお楽しみ下さい!
Daddy/ daughter time horseback riding. I asked my daughter tonight on our last day of our vacation. What is your favorite on all our activities, she said Gunstock Ranch Horse back. I agree with her also. Recommended to do it when you go to OAHU… they are not as crowded like the other ranch near by… also for the money spend,
Friendly staffers.
I had a wonderful time. The staff were also very kind. The breathtaking views made the flying time feel like it passed in an instant.
・とてもすてきな時間をすごすことができました。スタッフの方々も親切です。飛んでいる時間があっという間に感じるほどの絶景でした。
I enjoyed having options to kayak, snorkel, and use SUP. The best part was riding the banana boat, it was so fun. I loved the staff and musicians and the fact that they were so welcoming. Only thing I wish they had was an underwater camera to rent and buy pictures like other snorkeling tours in Maui. Other than that, my family and I would definitely use this tour again
Mahalo for your review and picture! - Team KBOS
It was an activity that included everything you can do in Hawaii. Snorkeling from the boat was a great experience. The dinner was all-you-can-eat and drink, and it was a good value!
HAWAIIにいるからできることがすべて入ったアクティビティでした。船からのシュノーケリングは良い体験です。夕食も飲み食べ放題、コスバ良し!
The guide was very kind.
The other participants in the tour were also nice people.
I joined alone, but I had a great time.
ガイドさんがとても親切でした。
同じツアー参加者も良い方たちでした。
一人での参加でしたが、楽しく過ごせました。
Sunday morning cruise. The captain and all the crew were women.
I participated because I wanted to view the hotels in Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea.
Just a little way out, and the color of the ocean changed to ocean blue, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful cruise.
Although it was indicated that only soft drinks would be available, alcoholic beverages were also served on board.
Completing the waiver and health check online in advance is more convenient and avoids any hassle.
日曜日の午前のクルーズ。キャプテン、クルーすべて女性でした。
ホノルルのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドなどを海から眺めたうと思い、参加しました。
少し沖に出るだけで、海の色がオーシャンブルーに変わり、素敵なクルーズを楽しめました。
ソフトドリンクだけと案内がありましたが、船上ではアルコール飲料も提供されてましたよ。
事前の免責同意書、ヘルスチェックはWebで済ませておく方が、面倒がありません。
Great experience! Very professional and knowledgeable.
I mistakenly headed to the meeting place on the wrong date, but they were flexible and accommodating. Thank you! The sign for Jurassic Park really got me excited!
参加日も間違えて集合場所に向かってしまいましたが、柔軟に対応いただきました。ありがとうございます。
ジェラシックパークのサインはテンション上がりました!
The sandbar tour with lunch was fantastic. There was good music, a satisfying lunch before a swim, and nice and clean facilities for changing. The staff were all friendly and always had our safety as a top priority while ensuring we were having fun. I will be referring this tour to everyone I know! Thank you for making this a highlight of our dream vacation! Mahalo!
Mahalo Vince for your kind words! - Team KBOS
Lots of history. Great staff and we had a great day. Everyone was really friendly and open to share the Hawaiian culture with us while on the tour.
It was quite crowded with many locals on our Sunday reservation, but there were slides that the whole family could enjoy, and the kids were satisfied. We mainly swam in the wave pool and occasionally went on the slides. The Japanese guide recommended putting our belongings in a locker and securing a shaded table, but I think it would be sufficient to secure a cabana at the wave pool and use that as a base. The theme park opens at 10:30, which is a bit late, so I think it would have been better if the overall schedule was set a little later. However, the kids seemed happy. I would like to come again.
日曜日の予約で現地の方も多く混雑していましたが、家族で乗れるスライダーもあり、子どもは満足していました。ウェーブプールをメインに泳いで、時々スライダーに乗りに行くという感じでした。日本人の案内の方からは。ロッカーに荷物を入れたり、日陰のテーブルを確保することを勧められましたが、ウェーブプールにカバナを確保すればそこを起点に動くので十分だと思います。テーマパークのオープンが10:30と遅めなので、もう少し全体的なスケジュールを遅めに設定していただけるとより良かったかなと思いましたが、子どもは満足そうでした。また来たいです。
It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time
The tour conductor was kind and it was very enjoyable. My face and clothes got completely black. It's better to avoid white clothing.
ツアーコンダクターの方が親切で
とても楽しかったです。
お顔も洋服も真っ黒になりました。
白系は控えておいたほうがよいです。
We started with a total of about 12 people from Hyatt. It was easy to get to the top of the hill by car. The bicycles have brakes on the handlebars, just like in Japan, so if you're used to riding, it's a breeze. An instructor led the way at the front, and a van driven by another staff member followed us at the back, which was reassuring. We stopped at scenic spots along the way to take photos. The views of Waikiki and the west side were both very beautiful. Although the details mentioned snacks and mineral water would be included, those were not provided. Our family had brought water, so it wasn't a problem.
Thank you! I loved this experience.
ハイアットから乗り合わせた総勢12名?ぐらいでスタート。
丘の上まで車なのでらくらく。
自転車も日本と同じで手のところにブレーキがあり、自転車に乗り慣れていたら余裕。
1番前にインストラクターさん、1番後ろに別のスタッフさんが運転するバンが付いてきてくれ、安心。
途中景色の良いところで自転車を停め、撮影も可能。
ワイキキ側の景色も、西側の景色もとても綺麗。
詳細のところっ含まれるものの中にスナックやミネラルウォーターとあったが、それらは無かった。
我が家は水を持ってたので問題は無かった。
Thank you!
I loved this experience.
The meeting place was easy to find, and traveling by car was comfortable. (Since it was quite a long ride and there were some rough roads, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some medication on hand.)
There were about 50 to 60 people on the boat, which was more than I expected. The MC created a lively atmosphere, making it a fun experience. The meal consisted of water, juice, and donuts, which were quite simple, and it was a self-service style. Some participants from other countries brought alcohol and snacks, and there didn't seem to be any restrictions on that, so if you want to enjoy your meal, it might be better to prepare something in advance.
As for the sandbar, it was initially cold due to the weather, and it didn't look very beautiful at first, but I thought it would be a shame not to try canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding, which turned out to be enjoyable. It seems that we were able to observe large fish while snorkeling!
At the end, the sun came out, and I was able to see the scenery I had imagined, which was great. It might just have been the day I experienced, but I thought that perhaps the temperature rises more in the afternoon than in the early morning.
Overall, the staff were friendly and fun, and I had a wonderful experience.
集合場所は分かりやすく車での移動も快適でした。
(かなり長い間乗るのと、険しい道もあったので車酔いをいやすい方は酔い止めがあったほうがいいかもしれません)
船には50人〜60人くらいはいたでしょうか、想像よりも多くの人が乗っていてMCの方の盛り上げもありわいわいとした雰囲気で楽しかったです。
食事は水、ジュース、ドーナツという割と簡素なもので自分で取りに行くスタイルでした。他の国の参加者の方でお酒や軽食を持参している方がおり、特に禁止されている様子もなかったので、食事を楽しみたい方は自分で事前に用意したほうがいいかもしれません。
肝心のサンドバーははじめは天気の関係で寒くそこまで綺麗に見えなかったのですが、
せっかくだと思いカヌーやSUPに乗ってみることができて楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでは大きい魚を観察できたようです!
終わりぎわのタイミングで日がでてきて想像していた景色を見ることができたのでよかったです。体験した日だけなのかもしれませんがもしかしたら朝イチよりお昼からの方が気温も上がっていいのかも?と思いました。
総じてスタッフの方も親切で楽しく、とてもいい経験ができました。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your photos. We look forward to your next visit.
From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへのご参加、お写真のシェアして頂きありがとうございました。またのご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
It was my fifth visit after four years and four months. I thoroughly enjoyed the unchanged Hawaiian nights. I definitely want to go again next time I visit.
4年4ヶ月ぶりの5回目の訪問でした。
何も変わらないハワイの夜を満喫いたしました。
次回来た時も是非行きたいと思います。
All the slides were fun! However, when considering the total experience, I think the cost performance is a bit high. The all-you-can-drink options aren't really worth it since you can't drink that much. The locker fee is also expensive. If it were a bit cheaper, I would want to go again.
滑り台全て楽しかったです♪
けど、トータルで考えるとコスパは少し高いかなぁと。
飲み放題のドリンクもそんなに飲めるものでは無いので不要。
ロッカー代も高い。
もう少し安かったら、また行きたいです。
Let me start by saying this is a must do when visiting o’ahu. The views from the sandbar are incredible. I’m 4’10” and I think the water at the sandbar come up to my waistline. It took us about 40 minutes to paddle out to it because I’m not the most athletic. Lol
The kayak tour did include a life jacket. We rented a dry bag and an anchor for $5. And anchor is a must if you want to hang out at the sandbar or snorkel at one of the reefs.
Speaking of reefs, what an experience! I saw plenty of beautiful fish and turtles. “Park” your kayak on the sandy area and do not step on the coral. They are very sensitive. If you park up by the corals, you’ll see plenty of fish and turtles popping in and out.
The staff was friendly and informative. They gave us the best route to be able to go to the sandbar and the reefs. We followed instructions and did exactly as we were told as everyone should.
You’ll have a great time if you follow the rules and respect the ocean and its animals!
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review and feedback! We really appreciate that. First of all I am so happy to hear that our staff treated you well and gave you good info that hopefully contributed to your having a great time. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the feedback about listening to and following our staff's instructions. Thank you so much for that! I also cannot stress enough how much we appreciate your feedback regarding only being in the sand and never stepping on coral. This is such important info for everybody to be aware of, so I really hope everybody takes the time to read your review specifically. It is really, really good. Stoked to hear that it sounds like you had a great overall experience and that you consider this a 'must do' on O'ahu. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
The driver had a Japanese driver's license, and I, sitting in the passenger seat, had a copy of my passport, but it wasn't necessary. Also, wearing long pants wasn't required. There was a Japanese-speaking staff member who gathered Japanese speakers and provided an explanation in Japanese. After that, we split into groups for horseback riding, location tours, and buggies, all conducted in English. As everyone mentioned in their reviews, the sand and dust get on your face and clothes, but it's all part of the fun! I wore a mask for infection control, but I noticed some people bought scarves from the Kualoa Ranch shop to wrap around their mouths, which I thought was a good idea. We stopped at about three locations where the staff explained various things, but I couldn't understand the guide's content due to the language barrier, which was disappointing. However, I think driving myself was enjoyable. We passed through several areas with standing water, going slowly to avoid splashing or intentionally driving in quickly, getting the inside of the car soaked. Overall, the breathtaking natural views that you can't see in Japan and the fun of driving a buggy that you can't experience in Japan were amazing!
運転する人は日本の免許証を、助手席に乗る私はパスポートのコピーを用意していましたが不要でした。また長ズボンでなくても大丈夫です。「日本語の説明が必要な方はこちらへ」と日本人を集めて日本語を話せるスタッフがひと通り説明して下さり、その後、乗馬、ロケ地巡りツアー、バギー等それぞれに分かれ、英語のみに。皆さんのレビュー通り、砂ホコリで顔も服も汚れますが、それも楽しい!私は感染対策用のマスクを着けましたが、売店でクアロア牧場のスカーフを買って口に巻いている人がいて、それもいいなと思いました。3カ所ほど止まって車から降りてスタッフが色々説明してくれるのですが、英語がわからず・・・ガイドの内容がわからないのは残念でしたが、自分で運転するのは楽しいと思います。途中水が溜まっている所を何ヶ所か通過するのですが、水を飛ばさないようにゆっくり通ったり、わざと勢いよく入って車の中まで水浸しになったり。とにかく日本では見ることのできない壮大な自然の眺め、日本では体験できない楽しいバギー運転、最高でした!
This was my first zipline experience, and I was able to enjoy it safely and securely. There are no Japanese-speaking staff, but all the staff are very kind and provide easy-to-understand explanations, even for those who cannot speak English. Zipping through the breathtaking views of Hawaii will create unforgettable memories, so although it can be difficult to get there without renting a car, I highly recommend experiencing it.
今回初めてのジップライン体験でしたが安心安全に楽しむことができました。
日本語対応のスタッフはいませんがスタッフ皆さん優しく対応してくださるので英語が話せない方でも分かりやすく説明してくれます。
ハワイの絶景をみながらするジップラインは最高の思い出になりますので、レンタカーを借りなければ行きづらいですが是非とも体験してほしいです。
I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time, and the views were truly breathtaking. During the buggy experience, we were able to ride together and navigate through rough terrain that exceeded our expectations, making it an unforgettable activity. Since the dust can be intense, it's advisable to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and to bring a change of clothes and a mask.
今回初めてクアロアランチに行きましたが本当に絶景が広がっており最高でした。
バギー体験では2人で乗車することができ想像以上の悪路を走ることができアクティビティーとして最高の思い出になること間違いなしです。砂埃が凄いので必ず汚れても良い服装、着替え、マスクなどを用意すると良いでしょう。
