Oahu
It ended at 3:30 PM since it was a weekday. I thought it might be short before going, but it was sufficient. The overbooking of the bus on the way there was a significant drawback.
平日だったので三時半終了でした。行く前は短いかな?と思いましたが十分です。
行きのバスのオーバーブッキングは大減点です。
This is my second time, and it was absolutely amazing. Whenever I come to Hawaii, I will definitely come to see the Chief Luau show. I also introduced it to my friends, and they said it was fun. This time, I reserved a VIP seat, which made it even better. I look forward to next time!
今回で2回目 最高に面白かった ハワイに来た時は必ずチーフルアーショー見に来ます お友達にも紹介しました 楽しいと言ってました 今回はVIP席に予約して更に良かった 次回もt
There is a live band and hula dancing, and the guests also participate and dance together. I am close with the band members, and they always accommodate my requests. It's fun, and I always look forward to it.
生バンドとフラダンスもあり、お客も一緒に参加して踊っています、私はバンドのメンバーとも親しく、いつもリクエストに応じてくえます、楽しいです、
いつも、楽しみです。
The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.
First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.
At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.
The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.
最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び(笑)帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています(笑)
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。
This time in Hawaii, I had a 4-night, 6-day plan on Oahu. On the last day, my wife went shopping while I joined a fishing trip alone. The shuttle bus picked me up alone and arrived at the boarding area about five minutes late. Once on board, there were already about 20 guests settled in various spots. I was the only Japanese person, and the rest seemed to be local Hawaiians and Americans. Everyone, including the crew, was cheerful, and they handed me a paper cup saying, "Hey! This is a snack!" Upon closer inspection, I saw that it contained large pieces of squid cut into rings for bait. While fishing with a view of Diamond Head, I suddenly felt a big tug. Everyone exclaimed, "Oh!" The cheerful American, without me asking, grabbed the fish and removed the hook. He posed for a photo looking quite satisfied as if he had caught it himself. For someone like me who often goes fishing in Japan, it felt a bit intrusive.
Still, both the guests and the crew were very friendly, and I had a great time chatting about fishing with those around me. One slightly disappointing thing was that although it was supposed to include "shuttle service," no one came to pick me up for the return trip, so I had to make my own way back to the hotel. (That wouldn't happen in Japan.)
今回のハワイは、オアフ島に4泊6日の予定で、最後の日、ワイフはショッピング、私は一人で釣りに参加した。迎えのバスは私1人で、5分ほど遅れて乗船場に着いた。乗り込むと、既に20人ほどの客が思い思いの場所を陣取っていた。日本人は私一人だけで、現地のハワイアンとアメリカンの様でした。クルーを含めてみんな陽気な人たちばかりでヘイ―!これスナックだ!と紙コップを渡してくれた。よく見るとその中にはイカを輪切りにした大きな餌が入っていた。ダイアモンドヘッドを見ながら釣りをしていたら突然大きな手ごたえがあった。みんなオーと歓声が上がった。陽気なアメリカンは頼みもしないのに、魚をつかみ針を外してくれた。いかにも自分が釣り上げたかのように満足そうに写真に納まっていた。日本では、よく釣りに行く私にとって、ちょっとおせっかいだな~。
それでも、客もクルーもとても気さくで、周りの人たちと、釣りの話で盛り上がり、とても楽しかった。ちょっと残念なことは〝送迎付き”のはずなのに
帰りは迎えが来ず、自分でホテルに帰った。(日本ではありえないよ)
I felt that this activity is suitable for people in their teens to thirties. First, we check our operating skills on the test course, but in my group, some women in their fifties slightly veered off the route and were moved to the area where they could be driven.
At first, I struggled to keep up without going off course, but after about ten minutes, I started to relax a bit and enjoy the surrounding scenery. There is one break, but other than that, no photos are allowed, so if you want to capture memories, a GoPro is essential.
Honestly, I thought it would be fine to be driven half the time because the views were so magnificent that I wanted to take pictures. We went by rental car, and after the experience, we talked about how it was the right choice to have a rental car since we could explore various places afterward. The location is very easy to find. Next time, I think I might try horseback riding as well.
実際に体感して10代〜30代向けのアクティビティかなと感じました。まずテストコースで操作スキルを確認しますが、私のグループも50代前後の女性がすこしルートを外れ、乗せていってもらう方へ移動させられていました。
私自身も最初は外れずに前へ着いていくのがやっとでしたが、10分ほどですこし余裕がでてきて周りの景色を楽しめました。一度休憩がありますが、その休憩以外は写真など一切ダメなので、残したい方はGoProなどが必須です。
私は正直半分は乗せてもらうのでもいいかなと思うくらい景色が壮大で写真におさめたかったです。レンタカーでいきましたが、体験後にも色々回れ私たちはレンタカーで正解だったねと話しました。場所はすごくわかりやすいです。次行くときは乗馬もありだなと思ってます。
It felt like I was inside a movie! I'm glad I had a great experience!
One downside was that I didn't quite understand the initial explanation, and when I asked for clarification, it seemed like the male guide who spoke Japanese explained it very reluctantly. It was disappointing to encounter an unfriendly person.
Other than that, it was great that they explained things in a fun way, mixing in jokes in both English and Japanese.
映画の中に入ったみたいでした!
良い体験でき良かったです!
少し残念なのが、最初の説明がよく解らなかったので、聞き直したら凄くめんどくさそうに説明されました、日本語が出来る男性ガイドで不親切な人がいたのが残念でした♂️
その他は英語でも、日本語でもジョークをまじえて楽しく説明してくれているのが、伝わって来て良かったです(^^)
The sea was very beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many fish swimming. Also, the coral was very large, and I was breathless at the sight I saw for the first time.
The BBQ was quite affected by the heavy rain, but the hamburgers were very delicious, and I was able to enjoy it even in the downpour.
海がとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが素敵でした。また、珊瑚がとても大きくて初めて見る光景に息を呑みました。
雨がかなりひどかったBBQでしたが、ハンバーガーがとても美味しく、大雨でも楽しめました。
At first, the boat was rocking a lot, and I got seasick, but once we entered the sea, we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which became a very valuable experience.
Whether you actually encounter them depends on luck, but we were lucky to meet them.
最初は船の揺れがひどく、酔ってしまいましたが、
海に入ってからは、野生のイルカ、ウミガメを見ることができて、とても貴重な経験になりました。
実際に出会えるかは運次第のところもありますが、
自分たちは出会えてラッキーでした。
The weather was nice and it felt really good! I thought I would like to do it again. I recommend this place! I’m not good with heights, but once I went up, it was comfortable and the view was amazing!
天気も良くすごく気持ちよかった!
またやりたいと思いました
ここはオススメですよ!
高所が苦手でしたがいざ上がって見れば快適で景色も最高だったよ
Parasailing was amazing. There was someone who was afraid of heights, and at first, they were nervous, but after we started, they said it was fun as long as they didn't look down.
パラセーリング最高でした。高所恐怖症の人間がいて、最初はびびっていましたが、わったあとは下を見なければ楽しいとの感想でした。
Thank you for explaining things clearly. It was my first time, and I was happy to be able to stand! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
分かりやすく教えて頂き、
初めてでしたが、
立つことができて嬉しかったです!
またハワイに行ったときは参加したいです!
I had reserved a shuttle service, but after waiting 5 minutes past the scheduled arrival time, I called to confirm and was told they were on their way and to wait. After waiting for another 10 minutes without any sign of them, I informed the staff at the hotel where we were staying, and they made several calls, but in the end, we waited for 40 minutes without the shuttle arriving, so we took a taxi instead. (The taxi fare was refunded.) Once we arrived at the destination, everything went smoothly, and the kids enjoyed themselves. I've heard about shuttle troubles happening abroad, but it was my first experience, so I felt a bit disappointed.
送迎を予約していましたが到着予定時間5分を過ぎても来ないので、電話で確認したところ向かってるから待っててと言われました。
その後10分程待ちましたが、やはり来ないので僕らが宿泊してるホテルのスタッフにも伝え、何度か電話してもらいましたが結局40分待っても来なかった為、タクシーで向かいました。(タクシー代は返金対応しました。)
現地到着後は、特に問題なく子供達も楽しんでいました。
送迎トラブルは海外ではよく聞きますが、はじめてだったので少し残念な気持ちになりましたね。
The staff were all cheerful and it was fun. The first course was gentle, gradually leading to a thrilling experience, which was enjoyable!
スタッフさんもみな陽気で楽しかった。最初のコースはお手柔らか目でだんだんスリルを味わえるコースになっていて楽しかった!
I was glad to see sea turtles swimming from above.
One concern I had was that it was my fault for not reading the instructions properly, but I found out after making the reservation that you can't ride alone unless you weigh over 80 kilograms.
On the day of the event, there was an American participant who also tried to ride alone but was made to ride with someone else. One man looked quite large and seemed to weigh over 80 kilograms...
It's unclear whether they were flying for two people's time.
上空から、海ガメが泳いでいるのが見えてよかったです。
気になる点は、
ちゃんと説明を読まなかったのが悪いのですが、予約した後に80キロ以上ないと一人で乗る事ができない事がわかりました。
当日参加したアメリカ人?の方も、一人で乗ろうとしましたが、二人乗りにさせられてました。1人の男性は、体が大きく80キロ以上あるように見えましたが・・
2人分の時間を飛んでくれていたのか不明。
Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.
Hi Lucinda,
THANKS! for your 5 star review:) Everyone at Oahu Nature Tours is very grateful.
All the Best,
Michael
I had a very enjoyable time. On the day of the event, I got caught in traffic and was a bit late, but I was able to participate without any major issues.
I attended with a group of nine people, including elementary school students. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the attractions. Personally, I was most excited about the first buggy ride. Among the many tours available, I highly recommend this attraction. I believe you won't regret signing up.
As for tips, someone mentioned it, but there was no particular request for them.
とても楽しい時間でした。
当日、渋滞に巻き込まれ、少し予定時刻に遅れてしまいましたが、大きな問題なく参加出来ました。
小学生を含めた9人での参加。
全員がもれなく楽しめたアトラクションでした。
個人的には、1番最初のバギーが1番興奮しました。
数あるツアーの中でも、お勧めのアトラクションです。申し込んで、損はないと思います。
チップは何方かが書かれてましたが、
特段要求される事はありませんでした。
I participated with my two daughters. The guides were all very kind and helpful. The six zip lines had great views and were so much fun that they ended in no time.
娘2人と私の3人で参加しました。ガイドの方は皆親切に教えてくれました。6本のジップラインは眺めも良くて、楽しくてあっという間に終わりました。
Make this a priority. It was the highlight of our trip. Everyone should do this. Young or old!
We participated with two adults and three children in late April. The shuttle bus had strong air conditioning, so long sleeves are a must! The pool was spacious and the wave pool was great! Plus, we could slide down the slides as much as we wanted! The children's pool wasn't just a shallow pool, so they had fun too.
4月下旬に大人2人子供3人で参加しました。送迎バスは少し冷房が強く長袖は必須です!プールは空いていて大きな波のプールも悠々と!それにスライダーも滑り放題!子供のプールもただの浅瀬のプールではなかったから楽しめました。
This was my first time surfing, and I was worried about whether I could do it, but there were about 20 people in the group with around 5 instructors who helped push us when the waves came. They also gave us signals like, "Come on, come on! Stand up!" By the third try, I started to get the hang of it and was able to ride the waves! The instructors were all friendly, and some of them spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to do this again next year! ☆
今回、初サーフィンとのことで、乗れるか心配でしたが、20人前後のグループにインストラクターが5人程付いて、波が来たタイミングで押してくれます。あとは、「コイデコイデー!セイザー!タッテー!」と合図をくれるので、3回目くらいにはコツが掴めて来て、波に乗れるようになります!スクールのインストラクターの方も皆さんフランクで、日本語を話せる方もいたので、安心してできました。来年も絶対やりたいです☆
Since it was the last season in April, I expected it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. Perhaps feeling sorry for us, we were able to see the spout of a whale during our stopover, although it was quite far away.
4月の参加でシーズン最後だったので、予想はしてましたが、残念なからくじらを見ることはできませんでした。
そんな私たちを哀れに思ったのか、寄港する途中でくじらの潮吹いたところだけ見せてくれました。かなり遠かったけど。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I booked the 150m option, and I definitely recommend the 150m! The weather and wind were great, and I flew high with an amazing view of Waikiki. Make sure to apply sunscreen properly, or you'll get really sunburned.
150mで予約しましたが、絶対150mがオススメです!
天気も風もとても良くて高く飛んでワイキキの景色もすごく綺麗でした。
日焼け止めをしっかり塗って行かないとすごく焼けます。
In Japan, you can let out your screams without holding back, and it's the best! It's a park where both small children and adults can have fun, and there are staff members everywhere, so you can feel safe both in the park and in the water.
日本では、出しては、いけないギャー の声も隠さず出せて 最高〜!でも小さい子供から大人まで楽しめるparkで至る所で監視員がいるので park内や水の中でも安心。
You will travel to the submarine by a larger ferry from the pier and board the submarine that has surfaced. The journey to the submarine feels like a cruise with a view of Diamond Head. The boat may sway a bit, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.
Inside the submarine, there is a decent amount of space, and we were able to enjoy observing the underwater fish and sea turtles. As we navigate between the reefs, you can see many fish. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles.
It was a very enjoyable tour.
潜水艦までは桟橋から大き目のフェリーで移動し,浮上してきた潜水艦に搭乗します.
潜水艦までの移動もダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらクルージングといった雰囲気です.少々船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方は注意してください.
潜水艦内はそこそこ余裕もあり,楽しく水中の魚やウミガメを観察することができました.
漁礁の間を縫うように進むため,たくさんの魚をみることができます.
運よく自分たちはウミガメを見ることができました.
非常に楽しいツアーでした.
Great ride and awesome adventure. Very great day to see the coast and loved the ride.
I had a wonderful time with the lovely guide and staff! I was a bit anxious since I had a child with me, but the sandbar was shallow enough for my 2-year-old to enjoy, and we even got to see sea turtles, which was so exciting! The guide was very considerate, and we were in a great mood the whole time! I was also happy that they actively took photos for us!
Snorkeling was a bit too early for my 2-year-old, so we took turns enjoying it. The food was delicious, and having unlimited drinks was great too.
素敵なガイドさんとスタッフさんで楽しい時間を過ごせました(^^)子供づれだったので不安でしたが、サンドバーは浅瀬で2歳児でも楽しめて海亀も見れて大興奮♫ガイドさんが気遣ってくださり、終始ご機嫌でした!写真も積極的に撮ってくださり嬉しかったです!
シュノーケリングは流石に2歳には早かったので代わり番こに楽しみました。
ご飯も美味しくドリンク飲み放題なのもいいですね。
Had so much Fun.. what an amazing Experience. Would Recommend to all my family . A must when you come to Hawaii..
It was one of a kind tour. The Sand bar was very mesmerizing. Great views all around. The volleyball we played was super fun.
Turtle watching was good but not outstanding. We were able to spot a few.
However the highlight was snorkeling. Great location choosen for the activity. Amazing variety of fishes and plantlife was spotted while snorkeling.
I loved the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone in Oahu.
We had a great driver, he was awesome, very friendly, really informative and very punctual . Was a great service and made our life easy getting to Diamond Head and back to our Hotel
