Oahu
In the afternoon, the sand wasn't packed down and felt like it was floating in the sea, but I had a great time with various activities! The banana boat was also amazing!
午後の時間帯で、砂はあわられておらず海にぷかぷか浮いている感じでしたが、いろんなアクティビティができて楽しかったです!
バナナボートも最高でした
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We look forward to your participation in the tour again when you visit Hawaii. 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。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーへのご参加をお待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I had a great time. I'm satisfied!
I read experiences and took motion sickness medication before participating. I was worried seeing someone on the previous boat struggling with seasickness, but thanks to the medication, I was able to enjoy the entire experience until the end.
It was amazing to go higher than I expected and see Waikiki from the sea!
とても楽しかった
満足です!
体験談を読んで酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。
前の船に乗っていた方が船酔いで辛そうにしているのをを見て心配でしたが酔い止めのおかげか最後まで楽しく参加する事が出来ました。
思ったよりも高く上がってワイキキを海から見ることが出来て最高でした!!
The pickup, local guidance, and snorkeling instruction were all great! However, it was a bit disappointing that the visibility was low due to the light rain and waves...
お迎えから、現地案内、シュノーケリング指導、とてもよかったです!しかし、小雨で波があったので、透明度が低く残念。。。
Excellent experience Justin was an awesome tour guide.
I rode with cheerful staff and a lively group of five American girls. The boat was high-speed, and parasailing offered a great view of Waikiki, which was fun. It was efficient with three people per ride. The Hilton grounds were too vast and felt far away.
陽気なスタッフと、賑やかなアメリカ女子5人組と同乗しました。船もハイスピードで、パラセーリングもワイキキ一望出来て、楽しかったです。
3人づつ乗れて効率的でした。ヒルトン敷地が広すぎて、遠かった
I was a bit worried because it was mentioned that there wouldn't be a Japanese guide, but after seeing other people's posts and asking specific questions in advance, I received polite answers, which put me at ease.
Since the pickup was early, I wanted to have breakfast on the bus, but I found out that wasn't possible, so I was able to have breakfast beforehand and prepare my outfit.
The dust was quite intense, but I was ready for it, and above all, the scenery was wonderful. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the Jurassic Park filming locations a bit more.
It was a bit disappointing that all the explanations along the way were in English, so I couldn't understand much. Overall, I'm glad I participated!
日本語ガイドさんいないと記載あったので少し心配してましたが、他の方の投稿みたり、具体的にわからなかったことも事前に質問すると丁寧に回答いただき、安心できました。
質問内容は早いお迎えだったのでできたら、行きのバスの中で朝食食べたかったのですが、それはできないとわかり、事前に朝食すませたり、服装も準備できました。
砂埃がすごかったですが、汚れてもいい準備してましたし、何より素晴らしい景色でよかったです。
欲を言えばもう少しだけジュラシックパークのロケ地まわりもしたかったです。
また途中の説明は全部英語なのであまり理解できなかったのは残念でした。
全体通して参加してよかったです!
This activity involves flying a sail with a wire while running on a boat, similar to kite flying. You go quite high, but because the sail is large, the descent is slow, and you don't feel that floating sensation in your stomach. The view from above was beautiful and calm, with no swaying left or right except for the wind, but looking down brought a considerable sense of fear due to the height.
The check-in was quick, just a signature, but the waiting time before starting was about 30 minutes. We went quite far offshore, and with two people in each of the five groups, we each flew for about 10 minutes in turn. The boat keeps moving during the trip back and forth and while the other groups are flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick.
On the way back, as the wire is reeled in, each group gets partially dipped in the sea, but we ended up completely soaked, so wearing clothes that can get wet is advisable. Three of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, and two groups, including ours, were travelers from Japan.
凧揚げをするように船で走りながらワイヤー付きのセイルを飛ばすアクティビティです。
かなり高いところまで行きますがセイルが大きいため、降下時もゆっくりでお腹がふわっとなる感覚はありません。
上空も左右に振られず風以外は穏やかで美しい景色を見れましたが、足元を見ると高さで中々の恐怖感がありました。
受付はサインだけなのですぐに終わりましたが、始まるまでの待ち時間は30分くらい。
船でかなり沖合まで出て、2人×5組いたのでそれぞれ順番に10分程飛びました。
行き帰りと他の組が飛んでいる間、船は走り続けますので少しでも乗り物で酔う人は酔い止めを飲んでおくことをおすすめします。
ワイヤーを巻き取って戻ってくる途中、どの組も海に半分だけ漬けられるのですが、我々だけ全身浸かってしまいずぶ濡れになりましたので、濡れてもいい服装がおすすめです。
参加者は3組がアメリカ本土からの旅行者で、我々を含む2組は日本からの旅行者でした。
Great place, the whole staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, thr property was very well maintained . Busses were clean and the drivers were very good.all in all Great place to go to and reasonably cheap for all they offer.
A wonderful, muddy, full of laughs family memory on Oahu!
What a great way to end off our Oahu trip! Mahalo to Mauka Luau!!
For my husband and I who were not sure if we were comfortable in deeper water, this snorkel was perfect and shallow with plenty of fish!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Fun evening, lots of different things to do and the show was top notch!
A wonderful event that my husband and kiddos all loved- a memory made together!
We loved the extra inclusions on this tour! Fabulous and easy day around PH
Perfect experience, exactly what I pictures + more!
The experience of driving the 4-wheel buggy course at Kualoa Ranch was fantastic with beautiful scenery, and the staff were friendly. However, the waiting times after pickup and before starting, as well as after finishing and waiting for the return shuttle, were over 3 hours in total—2 hours and more than 1 hour respectively. Even with shopping for souvenirs and having a meal, it felt like too much time. There were no other attractions to pass the time, making it a boring and wasted experience. It would be more efficient to skip the shuttle and book directly on-site, as it would save valuable time during a day in Hawaii.
4輪バギーでのクアロアランチのコース走破体験自体は凄く景観良くて
スタッフもフレンドリーで良かったのですが、ピックアップ後に現地に
ついてからの開始までのと終わってから帰り送迎までの待ち時間が
それぞれ2時間、1時間以上と計3時間以上もあり、お土産物色や食事をしても
持ち余してしまう。 他に時間をつぶせる見ものも無く退屈で無駄な時間。
貴重なハワイ1日の3時間強を無駄にするから、送迎なして゛直接現地での申し込みにした方が効率的である。
It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.
You can switch drivers along the way, so it seems like fun no matter how many people you go with! The buggy instructors don't speak Japanese, so those who don't understand English might not get much information (laughs). However, they take photos at the key spots, and everyone is friendly♪
Also, since you'll be driving on dry dirt, there's a lot of dust. Be careful, as the helmet can make your face dirty!
途中で運転する人が変われるので、何人で行っても楽しそう!
バギーのインストラクターの人達は、日本語ではないので英語がわからない人は何も伝わらないかも(笑)
でもポイントスポットで写真を撮ってくれるので、みんなフレンドリーです♪
また土が乾いている中で走行するので、砂ぼこりがごっっっついです。あとヘルメットで顔が黒くなるのでご注意を!
The water is so different over on this snorkel tour, and they pick up from hotel!
Bring your family, all ages have a wonderful time, and there is plenty of different food choices!
We loved our agent for setting this up ahead of time for us!! MAHALO
The night was ran very smooth. Don't be fooled by its connection to a waterpark as we were worried of the authenticity, but they blew us away!
The upgraded cruise was well worth it for us, the food was divine!
Oahu had some serious crystal clear waters! Warm, sunny day of fun with my family- unbeatable.
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the crystal clear waters of Oahu on a warm, sunny day with your family during our tour! We're so glad to have been part of your unforgettable experience! We hope to welcome you back for more fun in the sun on your next visit!
Since I was staying in Ko Olina, I went by rental car instead of using the shuttle plan. I paid the parking fee in cash at the entrance, and when I headed back to the entrance after parking, a Japanese staff member greeted me. They provided a thorough explanation of the park and how to use the lockers, which was very helpful. I was able to ride the slides without much waiting, but it was disappointing that some attractions were not operating. On weekdays, the park closed at 3 PM, so it felt like it closed in no time.
コオリナに宿泊していたので、送迎プランではなくレンタカーで行きました。
駐車場の入り口で代金を現金で支払い、駐車後に入口へ向かうと、日本人スタッフの方が声をかけてくれました。一通りの園内の説明やロッカーの利用方法も教えてもらえて助かりました。スライダーはほぼ並ぶことなく乗ることが出来ますが、一部運行していないアトラクションもあり残念でした。平日は15時までだったので、あっという間に閉園になってしまいました。
I participated in a tour that gathered on-site. The ticket exchange was clearly explained and went smoothly.
Some of the thrilling slides were closed at times, possibly due to a lack of staff. I was disappointed that the lazy river, which I was looking forward to, was closed all day. The closing time was a bit early, so I couldn't fully enjoy my time there. However, the fact that we could play without waiting too much made the kids very happy.
While it wasn't a day filled with endless fun, I enjoyed the relatively quick access to slides similar to those at Yomiuri Land's pool in a relaxed atmosphere.
現地集合のツアーでの参加でした。
チケット交換なども分かりやすく説明してあり、スムースでした。
絶叫スライダーなどは人不足なのか、時間によりお休みしているものもありました。楽しみにしていた流れるプールも終日休みでがっかりでした。
終了時間が早めなので、満喫!と言うところまではいきませんでした。
ただ、あまり並ばずに遊べたのは子供も大喜びでした。
1日たくさん遊んで大満足!と言うほどではありませんが、のんびりとしたなか、読売ランドのプールのようなスライダーを比較的サクサクと楽しめたのはよかったです。
Hayato, the Japanese guide, rode with us on the shuttle bus and provided explanations on the way to the port. The photographer was a foreigner, but he tried to communicate using a translation device and was very kind. The boat was double-decker, with foreigners on the first floor and Japanese on the second. There were two Japanese guides on the second floor to assist us. It was quite rocky, and some people felt sick, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. Children from the age of five can swim, but they need to jump off the boat one by one with fins and snorkel sets, so it might be scary unless the child is very adventurous.
Unfortunately, on the day we participated, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we were able to see them from the boat. (There are areas where swimming with them is not allowed.) In the snorkeling area, we saw turtles, so we could swim with them.
On the return bus, I tried to get off in front of the hotel, but the door closed right in front of me, and in the end, we had to stop at the hotel one more time to drop us off. The driver didn't speak Japanese and seemed hard of hearing, so I recommend that those who are not confident in their English sit in the front seats to get off quickly.
日本人ガイドのハヤトさんが送迎のバスから一緒に乗ってくださって、港にいくまでの間に説明をしてくれました。カメラマンさんは外国の方でしたが、翻訳機能を使って意思疎通をしようとしてくれて、とても良い方でした。二階建ての船でしたが、外国の方が1階、日本人は2階で振り分けられていました。2階には日本人ガイドさんが2人いてサポートしてくださいました。結構揺れて気持ち悪くなってる方がいたので酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。5歳からスイムも可能となっていますが、船から一人ずつフィンとシュノーケルセットをつけて飛び降りる必要があるので、よほど冒険心のあるお子さんでないと怖いのではないかなと思いました。
私たちが参加した日は残念ながらイルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったのですが、船の上からイルカを見ることはできました。(エリアによって一緒に泳げないエリアがあります。)またシュノーケルエリアでは亀がいたので、亀と一緒に泳ぐことはできました。
帰りのバスでホテル前で降りようとしましたが、目の前で扉を閉められてしまい、結局最後にもう一度ホテルに寄って降ろしてもらいました。運転手さんは日本語が話せない方で耳も遠い感じだったので、英語に自信のない方は前方の席に座って素早く降りることをおすすめします。
Aloha! Natsu, thank you very much for participating in Dolphin University. We greatly appreciate your detailed comments regarding the tour! The captain and crew tirelessly communicated with other boats in search of dolphins to swim with until the very end, but since everything is part of the wild and natural environment, this is also a part of nature. That said, it was very disappointing that you couldn't swim with them. Thank you for your positive comments about the Japanese guide. We apologize for any anxiety and inconvenience caused when you got off the shuttle bus. We will share this feedback internally. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ!なつ様。この度はイルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアーに関して詳細に渡りコメントしていただき、大変感謝いたします! キャプテンとクルーは一緒に泳げるイルカを探すことを最後まで諦めずに他の船と連絡を取り合いながら探すのですが、全てが野生と自然の中でのことなのでこれも自然の一部。とはいえ、一緒に泳げなかったのはとても残念でした。そんな中、日本語ガイドへの前向きなコメントをいただき、ありがとうございます。送迎のバスを降りる際にご不安ならびにご不便をおかけしてしまい、申し訳ございませんでした。こちらの内容は社内で共有いたします。なつ様のまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
Although the weak yen has resulted in considerable expenses, since I was going to board anyway, I booked a 5-star experience with fireworks on Friday and a course meal.
From the moment I boarded, I was guided to a special floor via the elevator, and the dinner set was nicely arranged at my seat, creating an excellent atmosphere.
Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and after the luxurious meal, there was a dinner show, followed by the fireworks viewed from the ship, which were breathtaking. Everyone moved to the side where the fireworks could be seen, making the boat feel like it was tilting a bit (laughs).
It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend the 5-star experience!
円安でかなりの出費にはなりますが、どうせ乗船するなら、金曜日の花火付きで、コース料理も食べられる5スターを予約しました。
乗船する時から、エレベーターでの特別フロアへのご案内、席にはディナーセットがきちんと用意され、雰囲気も抜群。
サンセットはもちろんのこと、豪華なお食事の後はディナーショー、そして船上から見る花火は、圧巻でした。みんな花火が見える方に移動するので、気持ち船が傾いているような(笑)
ハワイ観光の良い思い出になりました。
5スター、おすすめです!
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere at Nova Five Star, the fireworks at Hilton on Friday, and the jazz trio. 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。ノバファイブスターでの雰囲気、金曜日のヒルトンの花火そして、ジャズトリオ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。
I was very excited to go on this activity, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. When you arrive at check-in, they will not validate your parking (which is the opposite of the information you get in your confirmation email) so expect to pay $15 for parking and not $4. Next, they will take some pictures in front of a wall mural before you go into the boat. They don't give you a choice of whether you want to be photographed or not and they do not tell you that the pictures will cost $50 if you want them. The pictures actually came out nice so I asked if I could just buy one and they said that was not possible...way to be accommodating to your guests. The time on the cruise is way too long and they could really use a host that sounds excited to be there. The singer was fine but keeps the energy too mellow, you could see that everyone was ready to get off the cruise after an hour. I specifically chose this type of boat expecting that it would be more stable and I wouldn't get seasick but I did. I'd say if you really want a sunset cruise experience, I'd try out a catamaran since the vibe on those looks a lot more lively and friendly than on this bigger vessel...The best part of the cruise was of course the views (the bartender and server were nice as well.)
Aloha Jennifer,
Thank you for taking a moment to share your review with us. It was a pleasure to welcome you aboard our cruise. We apologize for any miscommunicated information included in your confirmation email. We are looking into the matter to prevent future misunderstandings and dissatisfaction. Mahalo for your valuable feedback, and a hui hou (until next time).
Mahalo,
I was really grateful that I could cancel until 5:00 PM the day before because my child was unwell. I rescheduled for another day, and when I arrived, I was asked, "Is this Mr./Ms. 〇〇?" and given my tickets, which was quite smooth. I plan to purchase from here again next time.
There is a baggage check at the entrance. Inflatable rings are not allowed, but you can rent them. You can also freely use life jackets, but there were no sizes that were too small. I brought my own arm rings.
The wave pool was stronger than anything in Japan, and both adults and children had a lot of fun. The height restrictions for the slides were quite lenient. I was clearly 1 cm short, but they didn't measure closely, so I was able to enjoy myself.
It mostly had a family-friendly atmosphere, and there are areas where small children can have fun.
The parking fee is $20, but card payments are accepted.
子供が体調を崩し、前日の17:00までならキャンセルできたのが本当にありがたかったです。そして別日にリベンジしましたが、窓口でその日は日本人の予約が少なかったのか「〇〇さん?」と聞かれチケットを渡されました。かなりスムーズでした。次回もこちらから購入しようと思います。
入口で手荷物検査あります。浮き輪持ち込みNGですが貸してもらえます。また、ライフジャケットも自由に使えますが小さすぎるサイズはなかったです。アームリングは持参しました。
波のプールは日本にはないほどの強さで大人も子供もとても楽しめました。スライダーの身長制限は甘々でした。明らかに1cmは足りなかったのですが細かく測られることもなく、楽しむことができました。
ほとんどがファミリーな印象でした。小さい子が楽しめるエリアもあります。
駐車場代は20ドルかかりますがカードOKでした。
