Oahu
It's a submarine journey that you can't experience anywhere else in Japan. I was able to capture a photo of a sea turtle. I was very lucky.
日本国内では体験のできない潜水艦の旅です。
ウミガメの姿が写真に収めることができました。
とてもラッキーでした。
Small and intimate luau with a lot of Hawaiian history coursing through the show!
We were laughing a lot, which made our experience even better!
We reallly loved ths, as we are not great at snorkeling, it made it easy to swim a long time and there is a great amount of marine life!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Food was delicious, creds to the chefs! The firework show as well was awesome.
I made a reservation and payment for two people for parasailing on the first day of our three-day trip, arriving at 13:30.
After arriving, I changed into my swimsuit and sent my suitcase off, keeping only the essentials. However, I received an SMS at 11:20, ten minutes before the airport shuttle bus was scheduled to depart, informing me that all activities for the day were canceled due to strong winds.
After that, I had the option to either rebook or cancel for a refund, and I chose to rebook. I couldn't choose for the second day, but I successfully rebooked for the third day at 9:30. Since it wasn't due to my own circumstances, there was no change fee.
On the day of the activity, the original meeting time was 9:00, but due to a change in plans, I arrived an hour early at 8:00 by rental car. I changed and prepared at a nearby free parking lot. Although I arrived early, I was able to check in after consulting with the staff. I also confirmed the location of the free parking lot to ensure there were no issues.
We regrouped at 9:10, and by 9:20, our group of three, along with two other groups, boarded and set off. There is space to store luggage at your feet.
Once we were out at sea, parasailing began. You can take selfies and videos, but if it's your first time, you'll be battling fear while trying to operate your smartphone in a waterproof case under direct sunlight, so getting good photos and videos may depend on luck.
The staff also offers a service to take photos with a professional camera for $40, which I think is worth considering.
I won't spoil the details of the flight, but it was a very enjoyable and great experience.
As for tips, we gave $20 after returning to the port, retrieving our wallet from the trunk of the car. I’m not sure about the other two groups regarding their tips.
In conclusion, it became one of my best memories. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once!
事前に現地稼働可能な3日うち現地到着初日13:30で2名予約&決済。
現地着後にパラセイリング参加のため水着への着替えと最低限荷物保持しスーツケース発送完了し空港連絡バス発車10分前の11:20に強風で同日全てキャンセルのSMSを受信。
その後は再予約をするかキャンセル返金するかを選べる状況になり再予約を実施。2日目は選べず3日目9:30で再予約実施。自己都合では無いので変更手数料は0円でした。
当日は本来なら30分前9:00集合でしたが、予定を組み直した結果レンタカーで現地に行く事になり予定より1時間早い8:00に到着し付近の無料駐車場にて着替えなど準備実施。集合より早いが相談してチェックインもできました。無料駐車場の場所も念のため確認してもらい問題ない事も確認できました。
9:10再集合になり、9:20には他2組と自分達3組が搭乗して出港。荷物は足下に収納するスペースあります。
沖に出てパラセイリング開始となります。
自撮りで写真や動画も撮影可能ですが初めてだと上空で恐怖心と戦いながら防水ケースに入ったスマホを直射日光下で操作することになるので良い写真動画が撮れるかは運次第になると思います。
スタッフが船から40ドルで一眼カメラで写真撮影するサービスもあるので検討すると良いかと思います。
フライト内容はネタバレになるので書きませんが、とても楽しく良い経験になります。
チップは自分たちは2人で20ドルを帰港後に車のトランクにしまっておいた財布を取りに行ってから渡しました。他2組はチップ有無は不明でした。
結論、最高の思い出の一つになりました。一度はチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。おすすめします。
It became my best memory in Hawaii!!! It's a thrilling and the best activity. The flight time was just right, and both crew members were amazing. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
ハワイで1番の思い出になりました!!!スリル満点でベストアクティビティです。滞空時間なども丁度良く、クルーのお二人も皆最高です。素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。
It takes about an hour and a half by bus, and the views of the sea and mountains along the way leave a strong impression of the Hawaiian islands. We arrived, but I was surprised by how few people there were. It doesn't have the vibrant impression I remember from when I visited about ten years ago. The entrance feels a bit lonely. There are no brochures introducing the park's shows; instead, I took photos of the panels scattered around. The penguin show, feeding the fish, and the large cage where you can touch and feed the birds are very enjoyable. However, the main dolphin show felt a bit lacking; there are only two dolphins now, whereas I remember there being five or six that used to liven up the show. The souvenir shop in the park is open, as is the restaurant, but the selection is limited, mainly just hamburgers. It was a bit disappointing at Sea Life Park. I wonder if it’s because we visited on a Monday?
約1時間半位バスに乗っていきます、途中の海の景色、山の景色はハワイの島の形式を印象付けてくれます。着きました、でも人が少ないのにはびっくりしました。10年位前に行った時の華やかな印象はありません。ちょっと寂しい入園です。園のショーなどを紹介したパンフもありません、ところどころにあるパネルを写真に撮って持参です。ペンギンのショー、さかなに餌やり、鳥に触れて餌をあげる大きなケージ等はとても楽しさを感じさせてくれます。そして、メインのイルカショー、少し寂しいな、イルカさんがたったの2頭、前は5,6頭でショーを盛り上げてくれた印象があります。そして、園内のお土産店はクロズ、レストランは開いていますが品数が少なく、ハンバーガーです。少しがっっかりしたシーライフパークでした。入園日が月曜日のせいかな?
There were many participants, and it felt like a dinner show. We had to wait quite a while to get our food. The Mai Tai was a bit too sweet.
参加者が多くてディナーショーの雰囲気でした。料理を取るのにもかなり待ちました。マイタイは少し甘すぎでした。
I didn't request a shuttle and went by bus and Lyft.
The attractions have lines, but not as much as at pools in Japan.
My turn came quickly.
I spent the whole day playing without eating.
送迎は頼まず、バスとLyftで行きました。
アトラクションは並んでますが、日本のプールほどではありません。
すぐに順番が来ます。
食事を取らずに1日遊んでいました。
On the last day of my trip, I wanted to feel a bit luxurious and wrap up my enjoyable memories. As expected from 5STAR! The course dinner was very delicious (^.^). The sunset and the lights of Waikiki from the sea were as beautiful as jewels! The stylish atmosphere with jazz will surely create unforgettable memories with my loved ones.
旅の最終日にちょっとリッチな気分で楽しい思い出の締めくくり。
さすが5STAR!コースディナーの味もとても美味しくいただきました(^.^)
サンセットも海上から見るワイキキの灯も宝石みたいなキレイさ!
JAZZでオシャレな雰囲気は大切な方との生涯忘れられない思い出になると思います。
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the five-star dining and entertainment. It is an honor for our staff to have been able to assist you in creating wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのお食事とエンターテインメントもお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことをスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Dexter did a great job showing us around and getting everyone where they needed to be on time.
I experienced this with my son. We tried three activities: parasailing, jet skiing, and bumper tubing. I thought it might be reckless at my age in my 50s, but it was a lot of fun. The waves were a bit high at times, but the bumper tubing felt like an attraction. The handsome staff members spoke Japanese and made jokes, which added to the enjoyment. It became a great memory.
息子と一緒に体験しました。パラセーリング、ジェットスキー、バンパーチューブの3種類です。50代で無謀かと思いましたが、楽しかったです。
波が少し高いのもありましたが、バンパーチューブはアトラクションのようでした。
イケメンスタッフさん達も日本語が話せるし、ジョークも言えて楽しませてくれました。
良い思い出になりました。
Such a fun and memorable experience! We first stopped at the sandbar and played volleyball. The volleyball was actually so fun even if you have never played! The lunch was good and filling and offer beer and other choices of beverages. After that, we headed to the coral reef and spent about an hour there swimming and enjoying the fish! We say sea turtles and manta rays from afar which was unforgettable. Overall, highly recommend this fun experience for everyone!
We went during our honeymoon and had an amazing time. The whole crew was so nice and helpful. The live music in the boat was so good. And the activities were a lot of fun. Would definitely do it again.
We are verry happy to hear that you had an amazing time. We look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
Perfect time my daughter loved it
She enjoyed the banana the bumper she enjoy watching turtles and fishes
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
What a great excursion with live music to enjoy as we were heading out & returning from the sandbar. The weather eventually co-operated with the sun coming out on the last hour. Highly recommend this company for this excursion.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
The sandbar was quite deep!
The music was good.
I didn't enjoy it much because the explanations from the Japanese tour guide were a bit sharp.
I think it would be better if they interacted in a brighter and friendlier manner!
サンドバーはかなり深かったです!
音楽はよかったです。
日本人のツアーガイドの方の説明等刺々しくあまり楽しめませんでした。
もっと明るくフレンドリーに接した方がいいと思います!!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry that the water level was high on the day of your visit, and we regret that we could not meet your expectations. We also apologize if our staff's manner of speaking made you feel uncomfortable. Since we were providing safety-related explanations, it may have come across as strict, but we sincerely apologize for that. We will share your feedback with our team and use it to improve our services. Thank you for your valuable comments. From all of us at KBOS Staff.
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。ご参加頂いた当日はあいにく水位の高い時だった様でご期待に沿えず大変残念に思っております。またスタッフの話し方によって不快なお気持ちになってしまった様で、、安全にかかわる説明をさせて頂いてた為スタッフの話方がきつく聞こえてしまったのかもしれませんが、申し訳ございませんでした。頂きましたご意見はスタッフ内で共有させて頂き、更なるサービス向上に向けて役立てていく所存です。貴重なご感想を頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
I participated with my two elementary school children (a 6th grader and a 1st grader). There were reviews mentioning that it shakes quite a bit, but it was more manageable than I expected. The guide spoke entirely in English (including safety instructions), so I didn't understand much, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. There is a bit of a hike to the top, but participation is optional. My two children were able to climb while having fun. I was very satisfied as I could feel a different side of Hawaii compared to the ocean and the city.
小学生の子供2人(6年生と1年生)と一緒に参加しました。
けっこう揺れるという口コミがありましたが、思ったよりは大丈夫でした。
ガイドは全て英語(注意事項の説明も含めて)なのでほとんどわかりませんでしたが、雰囲気で楽しめました。
頂上までちょっとした登山のようなものがありますが、自由参加です。子供2人も楽しみながら登れました。
海や市街地と違うハワイを感じられてとても満足できました。
Luau was amazing
Food was amazing
It’s just a shame that you guys didn’t pick us up.
Had to get a taxi to the show which was lucky we found one that could take my husbands mobility scooter.
Made some phone calls to complain and sent an email to complain
We were promised a ride back to hotel on bus.
The hostess on the bus on the way was very rude to us
We did receive a small refund which we will grateful for.
Just a suggestion (which I did mention in my emails) for future tours. That maybe your host on the buses actually go and check with all persons that may be waiting by the pickup point or little further away from pickup point. You are dealing with tourists and not everyone will know where the exact pickup points are. Also in our case have the actual name of the tour in front window of bus. Our bus did not have this. Otherwise we would like have know. The host for our tour actually started walking down towards where we were standing but turned back around half way down. She would have seen my husband was in a mobility scooter and would i assume have this information written on your paperwork.
The cruise was amazing
Food was delicious
My husband was in a mobility scooter and we were told by your company that he could not use it as weighed too
Much so had to hire a wheelchair.
When got on the bus we mentioned it to the star of Honolulu host and she said we did not need to do that. So maybe for any future customers you could check your information first.

A trip to Hawaii with my 92-year-old mother and three generations
I was looking forward to whale watching, but my mother said she didn't want to go, possibly due to fatigue, so I requested to change it to the next day, and they were very accommodating.
On the way to the harbor, we saw a rainbow, which made me feel like we would meet the whales.
After setting sail, they met our expectations, and we saw them many times.
Watching them swim gracefully in the waters of Waikiki made me feel the essence of Hawaii.
At the end, we witnessed them spouting water and slapping their large tails on the surface of the sea.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.

92歳の母と三代世代のハワイ旅行️
楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング、母が疲れからか行きたくないと言う事で、翌日に変更をお願いしたら配慮して下さりました。
港に向かう途中に虹を見たので、鯨に会える予感がしました。
出航後、期待に応えてくれて、何度も何度も見れました。
ワイキキの海を優雅に泳ぐ姿を見て、ハワイを感じました。
最後には潮を吹いて大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつける様子も
感動をありがとう。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with three generations. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに三世代でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
We had a great time. This place is a well oiled machine. From the pickup of transportation to the management of getting you to your tour. The tour was so cool. Two hours of UTV ride through beautiful mountains. Stops along the way to see movie sets and exquisite view points. We could not have been happier. We even had a water crossing. Our hosts were fantastic and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend it to all!
The sandbar is very nice, we arrived at the tour boat with plenty of time and were able to find parking! which was great, but arrive early to be safe, we received a safety briefing and we were on our way!
The boat ride from the dock to the sandbar is short but with entertainment along the way and snacks.
Once you get there there is a place to snorkel and swim around, and a platform to lounge and baste in the sun.
However the day we went tide was high so the water was up to our chests, however not something the tour can control.
We liked it a lot and would do it again.
Mahalo for your review & sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
There were photo-taking times here and there, and it was enjoyable beyond just driving. The staff were also very kind and accommodating. Although it was in English, you can manage even if you can't speak it.
ところどころ写真撮影タイムがあり、運転以外も楽しかったです。
スタッフも優しく対応してくれました。
英語でしたが、話せなくてもなんとかなります
The scenery and everything else was amazing! It might be a good idea to bring wet wipes since your face and clothes can get dirty from the dirt! I definitely want to visit again!
景色も何もかも最高でした!
顔や服が土で汚れるので、ウェットティッシュなどを持ってくと良いかもです!
必ずまた訪れたいです!
Despite my fear of heights, I took on the challenge! The view from 150 meters above was breathtaking. The meeting point was a bit hard to find, though (laughs). The hut was smaller than I expected!
高所恐怖症ながらチャレンジ!上空150メートルの眺めは絶景でした。ちょっと集合場所がわかりずらかったなあ(笑)小屋が思ったより小さい!
We did the movie sites tour which was great! Our tour guide was incredibly informative and very passionate about the ranch. We didn’t have a chance to do more like the Jurassic tour or zip lining, so if we get a chance to come back - those are on our list to do next time!
Refreshing! The tour where you can explore the natural beauty of Hawaii and the fields used for filming Jurassic Park on a four-wheeler was fun. It's about a 1-hour drive from Waikiki, so it's best to arrive with some extra time. There is a slight wait after check-in, but it's not bothersome. My family was too scared to drive the four-wheeler, so it might be a bit challenging for women and beginners. When the unpaved roads are dry, the dust can be quite intense. It's advisable to wear the masks provided at the beginning of the tour, and bringing a change of clothes that you don't mind getting dirty is a good idea. Your face can get quite dusty, so having a towel to wipe your face after washing it with water would be helpful. If you follow the tour guide's instructions (in English), there shouldn't be any major issues.
気分爽快!ハワイの自然とジュラシックパークなどの撮影に使われたフィールドを四輪バギーで回れるツアーは楽しかった。移動はワイキキから車で1時間弱。余裕を持って到着したい。受付後の待ちが少しあるが気にならない程度。四輪バギーの運転は家族は怖がって運転出来ず、女性や初心者には少しハードルが高いかも。未舗装路が乾いていると砂埃がすごい。最初からツアーで配られるマスクは着用した方が良いのと、服は汚れてもいいものか着替えを持って行くと良い。顔も結構埃で真っ黒になるので水で洗った後に拭くタオルがあると良い。ツアーガイドの指示(英語)にしたがって運転すれば、大きな問題はありません。
I participated with a friend in late September.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I started to feel seasick when I thought, "I want to quit because I'm feeling nauseous." At that moment, the instructor kindly guided those who wanted to stop to a designated area, which was very helpful.
I was able to see various fish and sea turtles, and I was very satisfied.
9月下旬に女子2人で参加しました。
シュノーケリングは初めてだったのですが、
途中波酔いして気持ち悪くなってきたなー
と思った時に「波酔いしてもう辞めたい方はこちらにきてください」とインストラクターの方が案内をしてくれて助かりました。
色んな魚やウミガメも見れて大満足です。
