Oahu
Transpo- very good
Overall tour is very informative and enjoyable. Tour guides are great. Able to see uss misouri,uss bowfin and uss arizona memorial. The museum is great! I was talking to one of the personnel and he even gave me story about pearl harbour. Food serve is delicious. Able to meet my kababayan from Philippines. Thank you
Mahalo for spending the day with us at Pearl Harbor. One really needs to see it to understand and remember this infamous day in our history. Me ke aloha pumehana, Poly Ad Oahana
As a 50-year-old man, I unfortunately couldn't surf due to back pain. My two sons, a college student and a high school student, participated in a group lesson. The college student had only tried surfing once about six years ago, while this was the high school student's third experience.
First, they showed a video in the shop and explained the basics before heading to the beach, which was educational and great! Once we got to the beach, they taught us how to stand on the board and we quickly went into the sea!
As we paddled out, the instructor suddenly pushed the board towards the shore and shouted, "Paddle!" and just like that, we were surfing! Wow! I managed to stand up and rode for over 100 meters from the open sea to the shore.
After that, my sons and another participant took turns catching waves, and everyone was able to ride for a long time! However, I later heard that because the rides were long, paddling back to shore multiple times was really tough for them!
I had also requested drone footage, so they took over 150 photos and 11 videos of the two of them. The drone video was high resolution and very beautiful. It was a bit expensive, but I was satisfied.
Next time we come, I hope to receive a higher level of instruction!
50男の私は残念ながら腰痛発症でサーフィンできず。息子達二人、大学生と高校生でグループレッスンに参加しました。大学生は6年ほど前に一度体験サーフィンのみ、高校生は今回が3回目の体験サーフィン。
まず初めにショップ内でビデオを見せてくれて、基本的なことを説明受けてから浜辺に出るのが教育的で良いですね!
浜に出るとボードを使って立ち方を教えてくれてすぐに海へ!
パドリングで沖へ出ると、すぐに先生が岸に向かってボードを押し「パドリング!」っていきなり波乗り!
あら!立てた!いきなり沖から岸まで100m以上乗れました。
その後も他の参加者一人と息子達の3人で次々に波に乗り、皆、ながーく乗れました!
しかし後で聞いたら一回の乗れる距離が長いので、岸から沖まで何回もパドリングで戻るのがとても辛かったと!
ドローンの撮影も頼んでおいたので、二人で150枚以上の写真と11個のビデオを撮影してもらえました。ドローンのピデオは高解像度でとてもキレイ。ちょっと高かったけど満足しました。
次に来たら、もう一段階上の指導をして
I had a great time with activities that you can't find in Japan. Some were thrilling, almost like an amusement park, and I couldn't help but shout out! There was also a children's zone where little ones could have fun.
There were no masks or social distancing, but I didn't mind since I went on a weekday. We took a shuttle bus and arrived around 10:30, and until about noon, it felt like we had the place to ourselves with hardly any wait time, which was comfortable! After that, it got a bit busier, but it was still good because we could ride after a short wait.
日本には無いアクティビティでとても楽しめました
プールというより遊園地のようなスリルがあるものもあり思わず声が出ちゃいました!!
子どものゾーンもあり小さなお子さまはそちらでも楽しむことが出来ます。
マスクやソーシャルディスタンスは全くありませんが、行ったのが平日だったからか気になりませんでした。
送迎バスで行き、10時30分ごろに着きましたが12時くらいまでは貸しきりのような状態でほとんど待ち時間無く快適でした!その後も少し混んではきたものの、少し待てば乗れたので良かったです
I was a bit scared because I'm not good with roller coasters, but it didn't feel like I was floating like on a roller coaster. I could see Waikiki from the air, and it was very pleasant and fun!!
There were four of us, two Japanese girls in their twenties, and a family of five foreigners. The Japanese girls suggested, "Shall we take photos together?" so instead of buying photos, we exchanged them via AirDrop after parasailing.
We were making a lot of noise and having fun, so maybe that's why we got dropped into the sea?! But the others landed safely on the boat (getting dropped was also incredibly fun). The captain and crew were very cheerful and nice, and we had a valuable and enjoyable experience.
We did this on August 5th, and the weather was good with not much wind, so it felt nice. However, the boat rocked while we were on it, and it seems that on windy days, it can rock in the air too, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.
Everyone gives tips before getting off, so we gave a tip of $10 per person. I think it's good to prepare a towel in case you get dropped, along with a camera and some cash.
If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend trying it out!!
私はジェットコースターが苦手なので少し怖いなと思っていたのですが、ジェットコースターみたいにフワッと体が浮くような事もなく、空中からワイキキを見渡せ、とても気持ちいいし楽しかったです!!
私達4人と日本人の20代女の子2人と外国人家族5人でした。日本人の女の子達が「写真を撮りあいっこしませんか?」と声をかけてくれたので、写真は買わずにパラセイリングが終わった後、エアドロで交換しました。
私達はキャーキャー騒いでクルーやキャプテンにも声をかけて楽しそうにしていたせいか⁈海に落とされましたが、他の人達は落とされずにボートに着地していました(落とされたのもめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです)
キャプテンもクルーもとても明るくてイイ人だったし、貴重な楽しい体験ができました。
8/5にしましたが、天気も良く風もあまりなかったので気持ち良かったけれど、ボートに乗っている間揺れるし、風が強い日は上空でも揺れるみたいなので酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたら安心だと思います。
みんな降りる前にチップを渡すので、私達は一人10ドルのチップを渡しました。カメラと少しの現金と落とされた時の為にバスタオルを用意しておいたらいいと思います。
迷っている方は是非体験して欲しいです!!
I went with my 6-year-old son and my husband. My son came back excited, saying, "I want to go again! The water slide was the best!!"
As for my husband, he said, "It was definitely fun, but we didn't have enough time at all. We chose the premium course, but it felt like a waste of time to go get drinks and food even with the all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat options, so I think a simpler course would be sufficient. The Japanese guide was with us only at the beginning and the end, but I appreciated the explanations. There was also time spent waiting in line, so we just didn't have enough time."
6歳息子と主人と2人で行ってきました。
息子は「また行きたい!ウォータースライダー最高!!」と興奮して帰ってきました。
主人の方は
「確かに楽しかったけど、時間が全然足りなかった。
プレミアムコースにしたけど、飲み放題や食べ放題でも飲み物や食べ物をとりに行く時間がもったいないから、シンプルなコースで十分だと思う。
日本語ガイドさんが最初と最後だけついてくれたけど、説明してくれたのはありがたかった。
列に並ぶ時間もあるから、とにかく時間が足りなかった。」と言っていました。
I planned my day starting in the morning. We gathered at Ross Dress for Less at 8 AM. There were other buses for different tours, so I got a bit confused, but I was able to board without any issues. After passing a few more stops, we rode the bus for about 30 minutes to the sandbar's boat dock.
When we arrived, we had to fill out a consent form, but there were Japanese staff there, so it was fine to do it in Japanese. The explanations were also in Japanese, allowing us to smoothly board the boat.
Inside the boat, we had assigned seats, which was reassuring.
On the boat, we could help ourselves to donuts and drinks.
At the sandbar, in addition to snorkeling, we could also enjoy boating and stand-up paddleboarding. Since it was shallow, we could relax and have fun without worry.
We had about two hours to play, so we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves.
I recommend this experience because you can enjoy various activities for this price.
By the way, we returned to Waikiki around 12:30 PM.
朝からのプランにしました。
8時にROSS FOR LESSに集合でした。このツアー以外のバスも止まってたので、少し迷いましたが、無事乗ることができました。他にもいくつか停留場所を通り、30分くらいバスに揺られ、サンドバーの船乗り場へ。
着いたら、承諾書を書かないといけないのですが、ここでは日本の方がいたので日本語で大丈夫でした。説明も日本語で、スムーズに船に乗ることができました。
船の中では、席が決まっているので、安心でした。
船の中では、ドーナツとドリンクをセルフサービスでもらうことができました。
サンドバーでは、シュノーケリング以外に、ボートやサップもできました。足がつくところなので、安心して楽しむことができました。
遊ぶ時間も2時間はあったのでたっぷり遊べました。
この値段で、色んなことが楽しめるのでおすすめです。
ちなみにワイキキに帰ってきたら12時半ごろでした。
Thank you very much for sharing your family's experience with us. We look forward to your participation in another tour. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はご家族の体験をシェアして頂き大変ありがとうございました。またのツアーのご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
This was an amazing experience! The staff is so kind and there is so much to do!
Mahalo for the review. Team KBOS
The guide was very kind, and I really had a great time! It was thrilling! On the day of the event, the dust will make your clothes very dirty, so it's definitely better to participate in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
ガイドさんは皆んな優しいですし、
本当に楽しかったです!スリル満点です!
当日は土埃で服がとても汚れるので、
汚れてもいい服で参加した方が絶対いいです。
I participated in the "Touch without getting wet" experience, and there were about 30 participants. We were divided into three teams and enjoyed touching the dolphins, but depending on the instructor's approach, you could end up completely soaked.
Our team had kids who got drenched from head to toe. The adults were also quite wet.
Still, everyone enjoyed the experience, and I can recommend it! However, I suggest preparing clothes that you don't mind getting wet and bringing a change of clothes to fully enjoy the experience.
’濡れずにいるかと触れ合える’に参加しましたが、30人くらい参加していました。3チームに分かれイルカにタッチを楽しみましたが、インストラクターのさじ加減によってはずぶ濡れです
私達のチームは子供が頭から水を被頭から足までずぶ濡れでした。
大人も相当ビシャビシャでした。
それでも参加者はみんな楽しんでおりましたし、おすすめできます!
ただ、思いっきり楽しむには濡れても良い服や着替えを準備をすることをおすすめします。
Our guides were wonderful! Saw lots and lots of turtles :)
I experienced surfing with three children and five people. It was a lot of fun. The three sessions of surfing ended in the blink of an eye, so I wish we could have done five.
子供3人と5人で体験しました。とても楽しい波乗りでした。3回の波乗りは、あっと言う間に終わったので、5回乗れたら良かったと思う。
Dear Hinomama,
I'm glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time together. How about trying a one-hour charter next time? You can ride the waves as many times as you like during that hour. We look forward to your next visit!
ひのまま様: ご家族でご一緒に楽しんで頂いたようでなによりです。次回は1時間のチャーターをご利用してみたらいかがでしょうか?1時間の間に何度でも波に乗ることが出来ます。またのお越しをお待ちしております!
It goes higher than I imagined. I think the time spent in the air was less than 10 minutes, but it was just right.
The boat sways quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.
想像していた以上に高いところまで登っていきます。上空での滞在時間は10分もないくらいだったと思いますが、むしろちょうどよかったです。
船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は酔い止め内服をお勧めします。
Beautiful views and worth every penny spent! Tour guide was funny and knowledgeable.
The crab was really tasty. Overall, really liked this menu. There's also entertainment on-board. We really liked walking around the boat and the observation deck on the top floor of the boat was my favorite. There were lounge chairs on the top deck so it was the perfect place to catch sunset.
Tips:
-You can do menu substitutions (ex. vegan, fish instead of steak, etc.) if you request it 24-hours prior
Absolutely LOVED this dinner menu. We opted for the Friday Fireworks cruise with window seating. And it was worth it! I had done the other menus before (Buffet, Casual, & Deluxe) so I was looking forward to try out the fine dining menu.
The only not-so-great thing was the time it took for us to get any beverages. Our waiter passed us every time. We waited and waited - everyone else around us was being served. Finally, we flagged someone down but even they also took a long time so we had to flag a 2nd person.
The food was so delicious. Would definitely recommend the menu! This options also comes with premium drink tickets. We had mocktails which were delicious.
Wonderful experience exploring North Shore mountain range, & explanation of what we were seeing flor and fauna. Especially enjoyed exploring the richness of the fertile land ️ scenery ⛰️, Mahalo!!
I felt very reassured to participate with the Japanese staff present. Thank you, Yukiko, for a great time. The sandbar was beautiful, and we were lucky to see both turtles and manta rays while searching for turtles. During the last snorkeling around the coral reef, I happened to see a big turtle up close, which was a shocking experience that I have never experienced before. All the staff, including the captain, were very kind. Thank you so much!
日本語スタッフがいて、とても安心して参加できました。Yukikoさん、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
サンドバーの綺麗さ、亀探しでは亀もマンタも見ることが出来てラッキーでした。
最後のサンゴの周りでのシュノーケリングは、偶然にも大きな亀を間近で見ることが出来て、今まで体験したことが無い、衝撃的な感動をする事ができました。
船長も含めて、全てのスタッフさんが親切でした。
本当にありがとうございました!
Thank you Yukiko for a great time.
The sandbar was beautiful and we were lucky to see both turtles and manta rays when we were looking for turtles.
The last snorkeling around the coral reef, I happened to see a big turtle up close, which was a shocking experience that I have never experienced before.
All the staff, including the captain, were very kind.
Thank you so much!
I was miraculously able to see a manta ray, and I was so happy! Of course, I also saw many honu (sea turtles). The volleyball and snorkeling activities with the staff were a lot of fun, and the kids were thrilled! The burger for lunch was really delicious, just as the reviews said. All the staff were wonderful, and it was a fantastic tour!
奇跡的にマンタも見れ、幸せ〜
もちろんホヌもたくさん見れました。
お兄さんたちとやったバレーや、
シュノーケルはとても楽しくて
子供達も大喜びでした!
昼食のバーガーは口コミどおり
本当においしかったです。
スタッフ皆さん良い人で
素敵なツアーでした!
Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.
The zip line in the morning was wonderful, both the air and the scenery. My sixth-grade daughter also had a great time, sliding down on her own and even with the instructor since she's light. It was just an incredibly fun time that flew by.
朝一番のジップライン、空気も景色も素晴らしかったです。小学6年生の娘も、一人で滑ったり、軽いのでインストラクターの方と滑ったり、とにかく楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎました。
I was looking for a parasailing tour with transportation because the distance from the hotel I was staying at to the meeting point was quite far, and this was the only tour available on weekends, so I booked it the day before departure. It turned out to be about a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the meeting point, which was surprisingly easy. For those staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very close. I had read in reviews that some people experienced seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. When we got on the boat, there were two families from the mainland U.S. and us, and everyone was friendly and welcoming, making it a lot of fun. When it was our turn to go parasailing, we took off at 150 feet, which was very high and a bit scary. However, everyone on the boat waved at us, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were amazing, making it a wonderful experience. We were up in the air for over 10 minutes, so I think it's a great value tour. I didn't experience any seasickness, and it was truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!
宿泊しているホテルから集合場所まで距離があるため送迎付きのパラセイリングを探していましたが、土日やっているのは、当ツアーのみだったため出国前日に申込みました。宿泊ホテルから集合場所までは徒歩15分くらいで、意外と簡単に行けました。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊の方はすぐです。口コミで船酔いすると記載があったため事前に酔い止めを服用し、いざボートにのってみると、アメリカ本国からきた家族2組と私たちで、皆さん気さくでアットホームな方たちで、とても楽しかったです。いざ、自分たちの番が来て、パラセイリングで飛び立ちましたが、150フィート、とても高くて怖かったです。でも、ボートから皆が手を振ってくれ、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、とても良い体験ができました。10分以上飛んでいるので、お得なツアーだと思います。船酔いもせず、本当に楽しかったです。おススメです!
The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time! The driver who picked us up to Waikiki had a lovely smile and was very pleasant, which made me feel good from the moment we were greeted. The Japanese guide's explanations in Japanese once we arrived at the port definitely added to my sense of security. The live music on board, donuts, drinks, and above all, the presence of a restroom made it comfortable for families with children.
お天気にも恵まれ、満喫できました!
ワイキキまで送迎のドライバーさんは笑顔が素敵で感じが良く、お迎えの瞬間から気分良く参加できました。
港に着いてからの日本人のガイドさんの日本語での説明はやはり安心感が増しました。
船内での生演奏、ドーナツ、ドリンク、そしてなにより、トイレ付きというのが、子連れには安心して過ごせました。
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
この度は安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っています。ご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
The view was very nice! The staff were friendly, and I had a great time. The landing was slow, so there was no strain on my legs and back.
とてもいい景色でした!
スタッフさんは感じがよくて、楽しめました。
着地もゆっくりで足腰に負担無かったです。
Apart from the check in , everything else was awesome. We got there 15 minutes early to check in, no place to wait, they just told us to come back when it is time.
My kids really loved and enjoyed the thé parasail and jet ski. The videos and photos taken were very nice too. It was good.
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
