Oahu
It was a wonderful day that we felt sorry when we were back to our hotels. Our guide was amazing. He was wonderful storyteller. We enjoyed every moment. We saw breathtaking views, ate the tastiest shrimps ever. We also enjoyed the best Dole Whip from plantation center.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide too! : ))) Mahalo Nui Loa Cecilia
The whole thing was wonderful. They were very well organized. Time was perfect. The place & the hiking trail was smooth & everybody was behaving as a family member or friend so I didn’t feel alone at all. The team was very cooperative & friendly & kind.
We spent a very good time there. Our guide, his name is translated as Handsome in English as per his words was Amazing. He told us interesting stories all throughout the way. Also he explained everything in details before our tour.
We spent Amazing time there. Friendly team. Well organized. I liked how they explained everything in details before we start for our safety & knowledge. I surely recommend it. the photos & videos were professionally taken.
I had always wanted to go to the world of Jurassic World, and this was a dream experience!
Driving the buggy was really scary, but it was thrilling and amazing!!
The stunning Kualoa Ranch was very moving!
It was great to feel nature, which is completely different from Waikiki!
All the other participants were Americans on holiday, and many were very friendly; they even celebrated our honeymoon, creating a warm atmosphere!
The explanations were all in English (the initial safety briefing was shown in a separate Japanese video!), so I did my best to listen and was able to understand!
I took photos with the people I got close to, and it was a really fun time!!
大好きなジュラシックワールドの世界に行きたくて念願の体験でした!
バギーの運転はとても怖かったけどスリル満点で最高でした!!
圧巻のクアロアランチ!とても感動しました!
ワイキキとは全然違い自然を感じられてよかったです!
参加者は私たち以外全員ホリデーのアメリカの方でとても気さくな方が多くて、ハネムーンをお祝いしてくれてとてもあったかい空間でした!
説明は全て英語(最初の安全の注意は日本語ビデオを別で見せてもらいました!)なので頑張って聞いてところだから理解できました!
仲良くなった人と写真も撮ってとても楽しい時間になりました!!
Driving through the Kualoa Ranch was amazing! Driving the buggy was easy, similar to driving a golf cart, and I just needed to show my Japanese driver's license. The tour is primarily in English, but they provide a Japanese video beforehand. The guide's instructions were a bit difficult to follow. Since it's a buggy, there was a lot of dust, and I ended up really muddy from my face down to my pants.
実際に自分で運転して駆け抜けるクアロラランチ最高でした!
バギーの運転も日本の運転免許見せるくらいだったのと、ゴルフカートくらいの感覚で簡単でした。
ツアーは基本英語ですが、事前の日本語ビデオ見せてもらえます。ガイドさんの案内はリスニング難しかったです。
バギーなので砂埃が凄いので顔からスボンまで本当に泥だらけになります。
As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.
Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.
I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.
I participated once before the COVID-19 pandemic and had a very valuable experience, so I joined again after about three years! On the day I participated, the wind was strong and the waves were high, which reduced the water's clarity. As a result, when the honu dove, it quickly became hard to see them, and I didn't spot them as often as during my previous visit. However, I was able to see a few honu, and just as I was about to head back to the boat, I spotted a large pod of dolphins in the distance. One of them jumped high like in a dolphin show, and I was so excited! Just when I thought the excitement couldn't get any better, the pod of dolphins started swimming towards us, and in the end, I was able to swim with the dolphins too! It was the best experience to encounter both honu and dolphins!
コロナ禍前に一度参加し、大変貴重な体験ができたため、約3年ぶりに参加させて頂きました!
私が参加した日は風が強く波が高かったため、海の透明度が低く、ホヌが潜ってしまうとすぐに見えなくなってしまい、前回参加した際よりもホヌを見える回数があまり多くありませんでした。しかし、何度かホヌを見ることができたため、船に戻ろうとしたところ、遠くにイルカの大群を見つけ、一匹はイルカショーのように大きくジャンプしてくれて、大興奮していました!大興奮していたのも束の間、だんだんとイルカの大群が私たちの方に泳いできて、最終的にはイルカとも泳ぐことができました‼︎
ホヌもともイルカとも出会えて最高の体験でした‼︎
The pickup was on time, and there were no stops along the way to the destination. However, I had booked a transfer and admission ticket package, but the local list only showed the transfer. Since I had printed the voucher and brought it with me, I was able to show it to the local staff and receive my admission ticket, resolving the issue. I will use this service again.
ピックアップ予定時間通りにピックアップしていただけ、途中、立ち寄りもなく目的地への送迎をしていただけました。
ただ、送迎と入場券のコースを予約していましたが、現地のリストでは送迎のみになっていました。
バウチャーを印刷して持参していたので、それを現地係員に見せて、入場券をもらうことが出来て、問題解決です。
また利用します。
Aloha Kumayuu,
I apologize for the inconvenience.
We look forward to your next visit.

Aloha くまゆう様、
ご迷惑をお掛けして申し訳ございませんでした。
又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。

I felt a bit seasick on the boat, but it was a fun time. I got to know a Korean couple and we took pictures together. Thank you for the enjoyable time. "Thank you!"
船に若干酔いましたが楽しい時間でした。
韓国人のカップルとも仲良くなり写真の取り合いをしました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございます。
「感謝!」
Even a 5-year-old could fly! At first, he was scared, but the scenery was so beautiful that he said he had fun after flying.
However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication because the boat sways quite a bit and the waiting time is long.
The guide was very friendly and spoke to my son several times, who was feeling nervous. Since the landing is quite intense, if your child isn't okay with getting water on their face, it might be traumatic.
We were supposed to gather at 2:00 PM, but we ended up meeting at 2:30 PM, and we returned around 4:30 PM. Even if you gather early, I think it's fine to be cutting it close since there was quite a bit of waiting time.
5歳の子どもでも飛べました!最初は怖がっていましたが、景色がとてもきれいで、飛んだ後は楽しかったといっていました。
でも、船はかなり揺れるプラス待ち時間が長いために酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。
ガイドさんもとてもフレンドリーで、緊張している息子に何度も話しかけてくれました。
思いっきり着水するので、水が顔に濡れても平気な子でないとトラウマになるかもしれません。
時間は予定時刻よりかなり遅れて2時半集合でしたが、帰ってきたのは4時半ごろでした。はやく集合しても、待ち時間がかなりあったのでギリギリでも大丈夫だと思います。
It was a particularly windy day, and perhaps because it was somewhat cloudy, the water was cold, and everyone was getting in with blue lips. The water was about adult chest height, making it quite difficult for a 5-year-old to move around without assistance. It may not have been suitable for small children. There were other kids present, but they all seemed to be in a bad mood after getting in the water. The babies were crying loudly. Since it was quite cold after entering the water, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved change of clothes.
However, the guides were all friendly and kindly explained things in broken Japanese. I think it would have been enjoyable if the weather had been nice and there hadn't been any wind.
ちょうど風が強い日で、曇り気味だったせいか、水が冷たくてみなさん唇真っ青になりながら水に入っていました。大人の胸くらいまで水深で、5歳児にとっては補助なしでは水の中を移動するのもやっとでした。小さい子ども向けのアクティビティではなかったかもしれません。他にもお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、どの子も入水後は機嫌が悪そうでした。ましてや赤ちゃんなんてギャン泣きしてました。入水後かなり寒かったので長袖の着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
でも、ガイドさんたちはみんなフレンドリーで日本語もカタコトながら親切に説明してくれました。天気が良くて、風さえなければ楽しかったと思います。
Staff was awesome. Boat was comfortabe and accommodating. There were eight of us and we had a great time. Plenty of snacks and food.
There’s no point in going out to sea just to see nothing but water.
The text should clearly state that the beach is not visible during the travel time. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have made the reservation.
ただ船で行く海の中www
砂浜も見えないただの海で行く意味なし。
もっとわかりやすく本文に、行く時間に砂浜が見えないことを記載するべき。それがわかっていたら予約してない。
It was disappointing that the planetarium was closed, possibly still due to the effects of COVID-19, but there were more exhibits than I expected, and the content was rich. I would like to visit again on a day when there are hula lessons.
まだコロナの影響があるのか、プラネタリウムが休止中で残念でしたが、思ってた以上に展示物が多く充実した内容でした。フラレッスンがある日にまた訪れたいです。
Thank you for visiting us. The planetarium programs are held every day except Wednesday, but unfortunately, they are all in English. Starting from November 17, we have resumed paid hula lessons approximately twice a month. Please be sure to sign up for the next hula lesson. Thank you for your comment.
ご来館いただきありがとうございました。プラネタリウムのプログラムは水曜日以外催行されているのですが、残念ながらすべて英語のプログラムです。
11月17日から月2回程度ではありますが、有料フラレッスンを再開いたしました。次回はぜひフラレッスンお申し込みください。
コメントありがとうございました。
This was such a fun snorkeling tour!! Food was delicious and the entertainment was on point. Natalie treated our family so well. Will definitely re book the next time we make another trip to Honolulu.
This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.
I highly recommend this! Really funny, informative and truly amazing talent.
My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.
I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!
Mahola, Keoki! - Hunter
After an hour on a tour bus from Honolulu, we set sail from the west coast of Oahu on a cruiser. We spotted dolphins about 30 minutes in. After a brief snorkeling explanation on the cruiser, as soon as we found the dolphin pod, we jumped in from the cruiser. The dolphins were clearly visible from the cruiser, but through the snorkel, we could only faintly see them in the distance.
However, after moving the cruiser to shallower waters, we encountered sea turtles. Swimming with them was amazing. We could also swim with tropical fish.
I am truly grateful to the Japanese camera operator who provided various explanations. The photos taken were great snaps and became wonderful memories.
ホノルルからツアーバスで1時間、オアフ島の西海岸からクルーザーで出航。30分くらいでイルカを発見。クルーザー内でスノーケリングの簡単な説明を受けた後、イルカ群を発見するや否や、クルーザーからジャンプ・飛び込み。イルカはクルーザーからはよく見えましたが、スノーケルでは、遠くにかすかに見えただけでした。
しかし、その後、クルーザーで浅瀬に移動したあとは、ウミガメに遭遇。一緒に泳げ最高でした。熱帯魚とも一緒に泳げます。
日本人カメラ担当の方には、いろいろと説明して頂き、本当に感謝です。撮って頂いた写真もグッドスナップで、すごくいい思い出になりました。
Aloha,
Thank you for participating.
Also, thank you for sharing the wonderful photos!
The dolphins show different appearances each time, so if you have the opportunity, please come and challenge yourself again.
Mahalo.
Aloha
ご参加ありがとうございました。
素敵な写真の掲載もありがとうございます!
イルカたちは毎回違った様相を見せてくれますので、また機会がございましたらぜひチャレンジしにきてください。
