Oahu
The beautiful ocean and Diamond Head. Just seeing the buildings of Waikiki from the boat felt great. I couldn't see the seabed very well through the glass, though.
綺麗な海とダイヤモンドヘッド ワイキキのビルを船から見るだけでも気持ち良かった
ガラス越しに海底はそれほど見えなかったかな
These whole experience was great !!!
The driver Was funny and knowledgeable
Best time
The guide was friendly, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable tour! The food was delicious, and we had a great time. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.
案内人の人も気さくでとても楽しいツアーになりました!
ご飯もおいしく、楽しい時間になりました。
ウミガメも見ることができ、大満足です。
First of all, I want to mention that depending on your physical condition that day, if you tend to get seasick or are unsure if you do, I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case. In my case, even after taking the medication (I probably took it too late for it to be effective), I still got seasick due to the strong winds while parasailing. (I didn't expect to get seasick even in the air)... They also have proper measures in place in case you end up vomiting. During the experience, cheerful music plays on the boat, and lively staff members help create a fun atmosphere. Participants from various countries gather, and while others are experiencing the activity, you can wave from the boat or engage in conversations, creating memories beyond just parasailing. I really hope you give it a try!
第一にお伝えしておきたいことは、その日の体調は勿論、酔いやすい方、自分が酔いやすいタイプなのかどうか分からない方は、取り敢えず酔い止め薬を飲んでおくことをオススメします。
私の場合、薬を飲んでも船酔いしてしまいましたが(多分服用が遅く効いてなかった)、パラセーリング中に強風で揺られ、更に酔ってしまいました。(空上でも酔うとは想定外)‥最悪、吐いてしまった場合の対応もちゃんとしてもらえます。体験中は、船上に明るい音楽が流れ、陽気なお兄さんたちが場を盛り上げてくれます。色んな国から参加者が集まりますが、他の人が体験中に船から手を振ってみたり、周りと会話が弾んだり、パラセーリング以外にも得られる思い出があります。一度、体験してみてほしいです!!
Honestly, I thought the price was high and the parasailing time was short, but since I had never experienced parasailing before... Once I actually tried it, it was incredibly fun and a great experience, and everyone had a wonderful time. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a try.
率直に金額が高くパラセイル時間が短いと思いましたが
パラセイルを経験したことがなかったので…
実際にやってみると凄く楽しく良い経験ができみんな楽しい時間が過ごせました。
やってみたいなと思う人には絶対お奨めです
When searching for the meeting place using Google Maps, the location can be slightly off, which can lead to confusion. It's better to look for the building (shed) once you get close.
Googleマップで住所検索で集合場所に行こうとするとちょっと場所がずれるので迷いがちです。付近まで行ったら建物(小屋)を探した方がいいです。
The banana boat was fun! They stopped along the way, and I was able to see sea turtles from a distance. The bumper tube was a bit tough, so I think I’m good on that, but I’m glad I got to experience it!
When we were at the meeting point, there was a heavy rain and thunder, which made me anxious, but the sea was clear and sunny. However, it started to rain again later, and the water temperature was a bit low, but it wasn't cold enough to make me shiver, and I enjoyed snorkeling and seeing the fish.
It was also reassuring that there were Japanese staff members and others who could speak Japanese.
バナナボートが楽しかったです!途中で止まってくれ、ウミガメも遠くからみれました。バンパーチューブは若干しんどかったのでもういいかなという感じですが体験できてよかったです!
集合場所にいる時は豪雨で雷もなっていて不安でしたが海の方は快晴でした。ただ途中からまた雨が降ってきて水温も低めでしたが震えるほどは寒くなくシュノーケリングも魚が見れても楽しめました。
また日本人スタッフ、他の方も日本語話せる方がいて安心でした。
Some people were going to and from in their swimsuits, and it looked particularly cold on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.
水着のまま行き帰りされる方がいてバスの中がとくに寒そうでした。
着替えを持っていかれた方がいいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your advice. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアー楽しんで頂けたとの事で大変うれしく思っております。アドバイスもありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I went in with somewhat low expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to interact with the dolphins!
We experienced it alongside other Japanese groups, and the friendly Japanese staff were always there to explain things, which was very helpful.
Although there was no dolphin show happening during our visit, we had quite a bit of free time. It felt very homey, as there were staff members who spoke broken Japanese and checked in on us while we were exploring!
少し期待値低めで行ったためか、思った以上にイルカに触れることができてよかったです!
私たちは他の日本人グループの方たちと一緒に体験し、気さくな日本人のスタッフの方が常に説明してくださりとても助かりました。
園内はイルカショーもしていないタイミングで時間はかなり持て余しましたが、カタコトで日本語を話す方が散策中も会うと気にかけてくださったりアットホームなところでした!
The water hardly got me wet, but I definitely felt that it could get wet depending on the situation. There is also a platform, but for small children around 4.5 years old, parents need to help them, s
水はほとんど濡れなかったですが確かに場合によっては濡れそうだと感じました。
また台がありますが4.5歳くらいの小さいお子さんだと親御さんが手伝ってあげないといけないのでみてて少し大変そうでした。
We came as a group of 9. All of the workers were very accomodating and had great vibes. The live music was also amazing. We enjoyed all the activities and had a blast during our tour. Definitely recommend!
Mahalo for your review and recommendation! - Team KBOS
Very good time and price is good for you get. Well organize and having restricted area avoid to be around too many people. Thanks
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
The weather and scenery were great, and it was a fun experience. If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up again because it was so enjoyable.
It does sway quite a bit while moving. It felt like I might get seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness should take some medication in advance.
I also requested the photo shoot for an additional $40. They were able to transfer the data directly to my iPhone.
天気&景色も良く楽しい体験でした。
次回ハワイに行けたら、また申し込みしたいくらい楽しかったです。
移動する時に結構揺れます。船酔いしそうな感じだったので、酔いそうな人は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。
追加料金40ドルの写真撮影もお願いしました。
iPhoneに直接データ転送してもらえました。
It was my first time in Hawaii. I participated with my family of five, and although we couldn't speak English, our cheerful guide kept us entertained until the end. It was an amazing time. However, three of us couldn't speak in the second half due to motion sickness. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
初めてのハワイでした。家族五人で参加したのですが、英語話せませんが、陽気なガイドさんで最後まだずっと楽しませて下さりました。
最高な時間でした。
ただ、乗り物酔いで三名が後半は話せませんでした。酔い止めはおすすめします。
Most participants were international travelers, but there were hardly any Japanese people on the tour. I worked hard to listen to the English being spoken and realized my lack of language skills. However, I was very satisfied with the tour overall. Although it was a group booking with one vehicle, I learned for the first time that if there are several participants in the group who want to drive, multiple group bookings are necessary, as only two people can drive in one vehicle.
ほとんどの参加者が、海外旅行客
ただし、日本人はほとんどいないツアー
一生懸命に英語の話を聞き、語学力のなさが実感
しかし、ツアーとしては非常に満足することが出来た
発注単位のグループで1台の車両であったが、運転したいグループ参加者が福数人いる場合は、グループ発注を複数回行わないと、1台の車両では2名しか運転できない事が初めて分かった
I participated in a group lesson starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived. First, we received an explanation and safety briefing through a video in English indoors. After that, we walked to the beach in front of the Honolulu Zoo, where the instructor provided guidance on land before we entered the water. However, since the instructor's explanations were also in English, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English at all.
Other participants were also from Canada and the mainland, so I was able to experience a bit of a study abroad atmosphere through English communication. The waves were not too big, making them just right for beginners. With the instructor's help while riding, everyone was able to stand up and ride the waves.
Since being able to swim was a prerequisite, it was a bit tough to paddle back and forth to the spot to catch the waves, but thanks to that, I was able to sleep soundly from the first day and managed to avoid jet lag afterward.
到着した日の午後からグループレッスンに参加しました。
まず室内にて英語による動画で説明、注意点の講習を受けた後にホノルル動物園前のビーチに徒歩で移動、そこでインストラクターから海に入る前に陸上で指導して頂きますがインストラクターの方の説明も英語なので、英語が全く分からないと少しキツいかもしれません。
他の参加者もカナダや本土から来ていた方で、英語によるコミュニケーションなので少しプチ留学の気分を味わう事ができました。
波はそれほど大きくなく初心者にはちょうど良い強さでインストラクターの方にライドする際に押してもらえば参加者の全員が立って波に乗る事ができました。
泳げる事が前提なので自分自身で波に乗る場所までパドリングで往復する必要があるため少し大変でしたが、おかげで初日からぐっすり眠れその後時差ボケせずに過ごすことができました。
Overall is very good. The lobster is very tasty, the steak is great, the view to the fire work is amazing, the crews are super friendly, the dance performance is fantastic. We enjoyed the dance at the end with a lot of laughs & funs together. Highly recommended.
First, I was taught how to stand on the beach, and since we were facing the ocean, even beginners were able to ride the waves! There were multiple instructors watching over us, so I felt safe while having fun!
はじめに浜で立ち方を教えてもらって、海に向かうので、初心者でも波にのる事ができました!先生も複数人いて、全体を見てて貰えるので安心して遊ぶ事が出来ます!
It was not crowded because it was the rainy season, and there was no waiting at all. However, it didn't rain during the day, so I was able to enjoy it thoroughly!
雨期だったため空いていて、全く並びませんでした。でも、日中は雨が降っていなかったので、十分に楽しむことが出来ました!
We drove buggies while touring the highlights of Kualoa Ranch. Since all participants were adults, the guide shared a lot of interesting historical background.
バギーを運転しながらクアロアランチの名所を巡りました。
参加者が全員成人であったためガイドさんが歴史的な背景の話をよくしてくださりました。
This was me & my partners second time doing this adventure, first time was back in 2021. We had great instructors both times but this time we got taken on a slightly longer path that was even more beautiful & scenic than the last. We had a couple friends with us this time that we recommended the tour too & they absolutely loved it as a highlight of their trip! Ticket price had slightly increased since the last time we came but definitely worth it!
I participated in this activity on my honeymoon! Although it was low tide in the afternoon session, I was able to see turtles! Coming back from Hawaii, this was the activity that made me feel like I experienced something Hawaiian! However, I think it's better to be prepared for swimming for about an hour to enjoy it more!
ハネムーンで参加しました!
午後からの部で引き潮ではありましたが、亀を見つけることができました!
ハワイから帰ってきて、ハワイぽいことをしたと思えるのはこのアクティビティでした!
ただ、1時間ほど続けて泳ぐことになるのはあらかじめ覚悟しておいた方が楽しめると思います!
At the reception, it was almost 100% in English, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that Japanese was hardly understood, but somehow we managed. With our phones, gestures, and broken English, we made it to the buggy ride. With goggles and bandanas, we were ready to go!
The buggy experience, while enjoying the filming spots and the grandeur of Hawaii, was incredibly fun. Unfortunately, the guide's stories at each photo spot seemed very interesting (the foreign guests were laughing and interacting a lot), but they spoke so quickly that our phones were of no help. If we had understood, it would have been 200% more enjoyable. Still, it was nice that the guide made an effort to communicate with us through gestures. Next time, I hope to at least understand some American jokes!
受付からバギーの説明までほぼ英語100パーセントと言っても過言でない程日本語は通じませんでしたが、何とかなるものですね。携帯とジェスチャーとカタコトの英語で何とかバギーに乗るまではたどり着きました。ゴーグルとバンダナでいざ出発!
映画の撮影スポットやハワイの雄大さを満喫しながらのバキー体験は面白さ満点でした。悲しいかな、それぞれの写真スポットでのガイドの方のお話が、とても面白そうなのですが(外国の方はとても笑ってやり取りしていたので)、如何せん早口で携帯などは役にたたず、それが分かったら200パーセント面白かったでしょう。それでも私たち家族を気遣って、ジェスチャーで話しかけてくれるのは嬉しかったです。次回はせめてアメリカンジョークが分かるくらいになって行きたいものです。
Such a fun night. The food options were delicious. The activities and vendors were interesting and informative. The show is very entertaining and fun to watch. The host, Paul, was fantastic and he made it special for my fiancé and l as he heard we got engaged a few days prior. We got to get our own dance along those who were celebrating anniversaries. That was such a sweet surprise and totally unexpected. I highly recommend luau! The transportation was also fantastic and super easy.

We were so lucky to been taken out just before the weather went bad, these guys knew what was safe and made sure we got a go but weren’t at any risk with bad weather. The boat ride was so fun and an adventure across the water in itself! My kids flew and had a ball. We then got the photos and they were amazing! 120 shots all transferred to our phones. All the staff were friendly and relaxed.
I was able to make a reservation without any issues even at the last minute. It was a bit scary, but I made great memories in Hawaii. All the staff spoke English, but I was able to understand them somehow, which was good.
直前でも問題なく予約ができました。
少し怖かったですが、ハワイのいい思い出ができました。
スタッフ方は全員英語でしたが、なんとなく理解ができよかったです。
The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.
初ノースショア、さすがチャンピオン大会が開催されるだけありもの凄い大波に感動。SUP中にウミガメにも遭遇。良いツアーでした。
I previously went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, and it became one of my favorite places, so I returned. Riding around in a buggy through nature is truly amazing! We stopped at movie filming locations where they provided explanations in English. Since you'll get really dirty with dust, I recommend wearing clothes you don't mind throwing away! (laughs)
クアロアランチでは過去乗馬をしたのですが、その際とってもお気に入りの場所になり再訪。
バギーに乗って自然の中を走り回るのは本当に最高です!
映画のロケ地では止まって英語で説明をしてくれました。
砂埃にまみれてめちゃくちゃ汚れるので、捨ててもいい服で参加することをおすすめします!笑
The tour meets at a local spot, and it's easy to find since it's next to the Hilton Lagoon. We were taken out to sea by cheerful staff members. There were three groups of Japanese guests at the same time, so while others were flying, we waited on the boat, but it can sway with the waves, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
We wore life vests and safety gear, which the staff helped us with. They asked if we wanted photos before flying. After getting off the boat, they transferred the photos they took to our smartphones and also provided an SD card on the spot for $40 per group. We decided to purchase it.
The view of Waikiki Beach from the sky was wonderful. It was a clear day, perfect for parasailing. The wind was strong, so it swayed more as we gained altitude. Flying in Hawaii was amazing! The flight time went by in an instant. I felt like a kite, and I had a lot of fun!
現地集合のツアーですが、場所もヒルトンラグーンの横なので、わかりやすいです。陽気なスタッフのお兄さん達に連れられて沖の方まで移動。
同じ時間の予約が、日本人3組だったので、他の人が飛んでる間はボートで待ちますが、波で揺れるので、酔いやすい人は要注意かも。
ライフベスト着用して安全装備を装着。スタッフさんが全てやってくれます。飛ぶ前に写真が必要かどうか聞かれます。スタッフさんが撮ってくれたデータを船から降りた後スマホに転送し、SDカードもその場でくれて、1グループ40ドル。うちは購入しました。
空から見たワイキキビーチは、とても素敵でした。快晴でパラセイル日和。風は強いので、高度が上がるほど揺れます。
ハワイで飛べたのは最高!あっと言う間の飛行時間。自分が凧になった気分で、とても楽しめました♪
It was a pool that is not very common in Japan.
I think similar pools can only be found at Fuji-Q or Nagashima Spa Land.
There were a lot of slides, and it was fun.
You might get caught in traffic on the way back, so please be careful.
日本にはあまりないプールでした。
似たプールは富士急かナガスパにしかないかな?
たくさんスライダーがあって楽しかったです。
帰りは渋滞に巻き込まれるかもです。お気をつけて。
Such a great time. Though cloudy at times the sandbar was fun. The SUP was fun for my first time and all hosts were gracious and positive. The morning seems like a good time to go since the tide is lower. The live music was such a treat. My friends and I had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.
Mahalo for your review & pictures. We love it! - Team KBOS
Our group was looking forward to our first luau and as we arrived at the destination it started raining. While the hosts were quick to hand out rain ponchos, the rain affected the event.
First, the hosts were rushed to get folks registered and get things moving. As a result, our group was never able to get our picture taken before the event started. Knowing this was an outdoor venue and its rainy season, I would have expected that certain things would have been under cover - like the photo area, the stage and honestly even the seating.
The food was under cover and was good. Not spectacular but good. A couple of our group had raw fish and were all sick that night so having certain foods outside for an extended period was not smart.
The performance from the warriors was good. They tried to show the different dress/dance of various polynesian groups but it would have benefited from more clarity on their differences as they all stared looking the same.
The ONE performance I was looking forward to was the fire dance. It was a disappointment. I expected all the adult performers to have choreographed a phenomenal dance of fire, complete with fire twirling, throwing etc. Instead they handed the "fire dance" off to one young boy for a solo act and two young boys to show off what they learned. YES, they were very good! but the magic of a "warrior tribe" dancing the fire dance was lost. The adults did come back for a grand finale - but it seems confusing at best.
Not what I expected.
The captain, crew, boat accommodations were all good - great! But the reason for this excursion was the snorkeling and that was just OK.
First the good: The crew did a fantastic job taking care of us all on the boat. They seamlessly prepped all the food without us realizing they were doing it, and then served it very effectively! It was really good and plenty of it. Gotta be fast to ask for seconds tho as the crew is very efficient cleaning up. The boat ride was also great!
Now the OK: I fully expected the crew would extend their care to the snorkeling adventure and split us up into groups and take us around the coral reef. They did not, and we were left to swim and fend for ourselves not really knowing how to navigate a reef without coming in contact with it, not really knowing what we should be looking for. I "happened" across a turtle that came up from the depths of the coral and almost collided with me... so I saw that one, but not much else because I wasn't sure what I should be looking at.
