Oahu
I was able to see many sea turtles. And, fortunately, I also saw dolphins, so it was the best day ever. The waves were calm, and it was a fortunate tour.
海亀がたくさん見れました。
そして、運良くイルカも見れたので、最高な1日でした。波も穏やかで運に恵まれたツアーでした。
I went parasailing, rode a bumper tube, and jet skiing. The staff were kind and it was very good. I would like to request it again when I go to Hawaii.
パラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、ジェットスキーをやりました。
スタッフの方々が親切でとてもよかったです。
また,ハワイに行った際はお願いしたいと思います。
17:10 Arrived at the meeting place (the meeting time was noted as 17:15)
~ Waiting while standing for about 40 minutes ~
17:50 Entered the venue
~ Waiting at the seats for about 40 minutes ~
18:30 Guided to go get the buffet
~ Waiting in line for food ~
18:45 Served the first dish on the plate
~ Picking various dishes ~
18:55 Finished getting food and took a seat. Started eating.
19:00 The performance begins
Around 20:00, fireworks go off
◆ Overall, there was a lot of waiting. I brought my elderly parents, and the waiting times really tired them out.
◆ If you're just listening to the performance and singing, I think it's sufficient to stay in the guest room.
◆ For the luau show, there were people staying at the Hilton who watched from the beach outside the venue over a low fence. Honestly, it was easier to see up close than sitting in the golden seats.
◆ As mentioned in other experiences, there are times when it rains, which can be stressful. I found myself wishing, "Please don't let it rain!" Also, the wind was quite strong.
◆ Because of the strong wind, the food got quite cold while I was getting it. Still, the meat dishes were delicious. The menu was limited, and the breakfast buffet at Japanese hotels has more variety. I don't remember everything, but there were about two small cakes for dessert and one type of something like fruit punch.
◆ The golden seats made it quite difficult to see the show. If you're aiming for the show, I think the higher-class Diamond Premier is better.
Choosing this show for my trip to Hawaii was a mistake. I should have skipped this show and opted for a restaurant or TOGO, spending more time on sightseeing in Waikiki or ocean leisure activities. I cannot recommend it to those who find waiting times unbearable or a waste.
The day before, I went on the "Dinner Cruise Star of Honolulu 3 Star," and that was very good.
17:10 集合場所到着(集合時間は17:15と記載あり)
〜立って待機 約40分〜
17:50 会場に入る
〜座席で待機 約40分〜
18:30 ブッフェ取りに行っていいよと案内される
〜料理の順番待ち〜
18:45 最初の料理を皿に盛る
〜色々料理とっていく〜
18:55 料理取り終わり着席。食事開始。
19:00 演奏が始まる
20:00ごろ 花火が上がる
◆とにかくひたすら待つことが多かったです。高齢の親を連れて行ったのですが、待ち時間でとても疲れさせてしまいました。
◆演奏や歌を聴くだけなら、客室にいても十分だと思います。
◆ルアウショーは、ヒルトン宿泊の人なら会場外のビーチから低い柵越しに鑑賞してる人もいました。正直ゴールデンシートに座ってるより近くで良く見えました。
◆他の体験談でもありましたが、雨が降る時があるので落ち着かないです。「お願いだから降らないで〜」と願うストレス、、、あと風が結構強い。
◆風が強いので、料理をとってる間に料理がかなり冷めてしまいます。それでも肉系の料理は美味しかったです。メニューは少なく、日本のホテルの朝食ブッフェの方が種類があります。全部は覚えてないけど、デザートは小さいケーキ?2種とフルーツポンチ?みたいなもの1種くらいでした。
◆ゴールデンシートはショーがかなり見えづらかったです。ショー目当てなら上位クラスのダイヤモンドプレミアがいいと思います。
今回のハワイ旅行で、このショーを選んだことは失敗でした。このショーに行かず、レストランかTOGOにして、もっとワイキキ観光や海レジャーに時間を使った方が良かったです。待ち時間が耐えられない・もったいないと思う人にはとてもお勧めできません。
前日に「ディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル 3スター」も行きましたがこれはとても良かった。
Since I am an owner of a timeshare in Ko Olina, I went there by rental car without a shuttle service. The roads were easy to navigate, and it was very close to Ko Olina, making it quite accessible.
With a passport, I was able to explore at my own pace without any time restrictions. I was able to enter all the museums, which was great.
However, due to a typhoon, the winds were strong, and the boats couldn't go out, so I couldn't visit the Arizona Memorial. That was disappointing. All the other museums were wonderful. There were Japanese audio guides available, or free guides who were Japanese, so I was able to understand the content well.
There are regulations on what you can bring, but if you have a transparent bag or a vinyl tote, you can bring those in as is. It's recommended when your pockets can't hold everything.
I highly encourage everyone to visit. It was a truly valuable experience with a lot to see, and I'm really glad I went.
コオリナのタイムシェアのオーナーなので、送迎なしでレンタカーで行きました。道もわかりやすく、コオリナから近かったので、とても行きやすかったです。
パスポートなので、時間の制限なく自分のペースで回ることができました。全ての博物館に入館できて、とてもよかったです。
ただ、台風で風が強く、ボートが出られず、アリゾナ記念館にいけませんでした。悲しい。
その他の博物館はどれも素晴らしかったです。日本語オーディオガイドつき、もしくは日本人の無料のガイドの方の案内があったので、しっかり内容も理解できました。
持ち物の規制がありますが、透明なバッグや、ビニール手提げを持っていけば、そのまま持ち込めました。ポケットに入りきらないときは、おすすめです。
皆様もぜひ行ってみてください。大変貴重な体験と内容盛りだくさんで、本当に行ってよかったです。
Disappointed that we were Not at the real sand bar. We were to far away from it and the water level were too high to call it a sandbar. We were expecting to be able to stand at the sand bar.
The lunch provided was a disappointment.
What I really like was the staff, especially the guys helping with the kayaks and boat.
Mahalo for your review & kind words for our crew! We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed high tide & lunch. - Team KBOS
Hanauma Bay can be accessed by rental car or trolley, but there is a limit on the number of people allowed in the bay (reservations are required), so for those who prefer convenience, booking through Veltra is a good option. While there were fewer corals compared to the islands of Okinawa, since I went in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of fish and the number of larger fish. Although it was an early morning tour, there were initially few people (the seawater was a bit cold at first), and the morning-only tour was more than enough to enjoy.
I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the meeting point was at the valet area (hotel entrance) of the neighboring Ilikai Hotel, which was accommodating in English, and there were no issues at all (there was hardly any conversation). By the way, the people I went with were from Germany, Brazil, and Asia. An English speaker among us handled the communication. Inside Hanauma Bay, we had free time. There were lockers available for valuables, but we didn't use them (we took turns going into the water as a family). You might want to bring drinks (and maybe some light snacks). Be aware that there are restrictions on the types of sunscreen you can use. They provided snorkeling gear, including fins, but given the current situation, we only brought our own snorkels. We thoroughly enjoyed our time until the return meeting time, and they drove us back to the morning meeting point. After a short break in the afternoon, we went shopping. I'm glad I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time!
ハナウマ湾はレンタカーやトローリーでも行けますが、湾に入るには人数制限(予約)があるので、色々と面倒な人はベルトラ予約が気楽です。沖縄の島々よりはサンゴは少なかったですが、AMにいったこともあり色々な魚の群衆や大きい魚が思ったより沢山いました。朝早いツアーでしたが、逆に人も最初は少なく(少々海水が最初冷たかった)、AMのみのツアーで十分楽しめました。
ヒルトンビーチリゾートに宿泊していましたが、集合場所はとなりのホテルのイリカイホテルのバレットエリア(ホテルの入口)で、英語対応でしたが全く問題ありませんでした(ほぼ会話する事がない)。因みに一緒に行った人たちはドイツ、ブラジル、アジアの人。逆に英語のわかる人が代表で対応してくれました。ハナウマ湾の中は自由行動。貴重品用のロッカーありとのことでしたが使用しませんでした(家族の順番で海に入って対応)。飲み物は必要かも(軽食程度も)。日焼け止めは種類に規制があるのでご注意を。シュノーケルは足ひれ含めて貸してくれましたが、このご時世我々はシュノーケルのみ持参しました。帰りの集合時間まで十分に堪能して、朝の集合場所まで車で送ってくれました。午後は少し休憩後にショッピングなどに。初めてだったのでハナウマ湾行ってよかったです!
Since we were the only ones on the day of the tour, it felt like a private tour. The guide was very kind and made it a lot of fun, so we really enjoyed ourselves! ☺︎ I was worried because I hardly speak any English, but the guide made an effort to communicate using translation tools, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience!
Anyway, my face ended up completely black (laughs). It gets so dark that I can't even go out in public. A towel and wet wipes are essential.
I will definitely participate again! ☺︎ Thank you very much.
当日は私達しかいなかったので貸切ツアーでしたがガイドさんもとっても親切で楽しませてくれたのでとっても楽しめました☺︎
英語がほとんどできないので心配でしたが、翻訳を使いながら一生懸命に伝えてくださるので安心して楽しめます‼︎
とにかく顔が真っ黒になります(笑)人前には出れないくらい真っ黒になります。タオル、濡れティッシュ必須です。
また絶対に参加します☺︎ありがとうございました。
Our server, Danny brought great energy and had exceptional hospitality service. Good experience and perfect to enjoy with family.
The buggy ride was a lot of fun. There was little dust due to the rain, but if it had been sunny, I would have been covered in dust. I think it's a good idea to dress lightly and plan to change clothes.
バギーはとても楽しかった。
雨天後のため埃は少なかったけど、晴れてたら全身埃だらけ。軽装し着替えつもりがよいと思います。
It was my first cruise, and I had a great time. The only regret was that a hurricane was approaching, so I couldn't see the sunset. Also, the lobster was not as impressive as I expected (laughs). Overall, I think it was good.
初めてのクルーズでしたがとても楽しかったです。
残念だったのがハリケーンが近づいててサンセットが見られなかったのが心残りでした。
それとロブスターがおもってたよりショボかったですね(笑)
まぁ、総合的には良かったと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise for the first time. It's unfortunate that the weather wasn't very good, but we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the overall cruise with Nova Five Star. We hope that next time you will be able to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you 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初めてお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お天気があまり良くなかったのは残念ですが、全体的にノバファイブスターでのクルーズをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。次回は是非ハワイの素敵なサンセットを楽しんでいただきたいです。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。
The weather was nice, and the wind was fairly strong, allowing us to enjoy stable sailing. We created great memories as a family of three. The promised Japan was also very pleasant. The boat ride to and from was quite rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. There was an incident where a young woman from a Chinese group vomited on a white person sitting next to her. The boat stopped, and the victim jumped into the sea to wash off the mess.
天気もよく、風もそこそこ強く、安定したセイリングを楽しみました。家族3人で、いい想い出ができました。お約束のジャパンも気持ち良かったです。行き帰りの船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止め薬をおすすめします。中国陣グループの若い女性が、となりに座っていた白人にゲロをぶちまけるというハプニングがありました。船を止めて、被害者は海にとびこみ汚れを洗い流していました。
Great communication and met our greeter and baggage claim. Easy and carefree.
It was difficult to steer the ship due to the approaching typhoon, strong winds, and high waves. However, the atmosphere inside the boat was lively and enjoyable, and the staff were kind, which was great.
台風が近づいて風が強く波が高いのでシープの操縦が難しかった。ただ船の中は盛り上がり楽しくスタッフさんも親切で良かった。
Aloha! It seems that the weather on the day of your tour wasn't perfect, but we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
アロハ~!ツアーご参加日はパーフェクトなお天気ではなかった様ですが、楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っております。ご参加頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
The staff are all very friendly, helpful and excellent energy. Very convenient with free pickup from hotel. Most staffs are fluent with Japanese. The singers have beautiful voices.There are lots of activities choices to enjoy with. And very safe with multiple staff stand by around to make sure you are doing okay. Only complain is I wish we have more time.Did not want it to end. Highly recommended it.
Mahalo for your review & recommendation! - Team KBOS
There are some slides that look really scary, but once you ride them, it's over in no time. So, I recommend experiencing them all at least once.
見るからに怖いだろなっていうスライダーもありますが乗ったらあっという間なのでとりあえず一通り体験することをお勧めします。
I went expecting a Japanese magician, but it was a different magician. Still, it was fun. However, I think you can't really enjoy it if you don't understand any English.
日本人のマジシャンを期待して行ったけど違うマジシャンでした。それでも楽しかったです。ただ全く英語が分からないと楽しめないなとは思います。
I had a great experience!
However, the meeting point was a bit difficult to find, and I almost arrived right at the meeting time, but they were very kind and accommodating.
楽しい経験ができました!
ただ、集合場所が少し分かりにくく、集合時間ギリギリになってしまいましたが、優しく対応してくれました。
I thought I could walk on the sand but I didn’t know this boat was not able to go closer. The water was so high and I couldn’t even stand.
But I enjoyed entertainment on the boat.
Mahalo for joining our tour. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed water label. Tide is always changed; we hope it will be low tide when you come back our tour next time. - Team KBOS
It is possible to make reservations directly through the official website, but I was unable to make a payment with a Japanese credit card that does not have a Zipcode, so I purchased the tickets through VELTRA. (The price was the same as on the official site.)
There is a Japanese guide on site who explains the history and overview of the battleship.
I reserved this and the USS Arizona for a visit, but I also wanted to check out the aviation museum. I recommend taking your time to explore Pearl Harbor.
公式サイトで直接予約も可能な施設ですが、Zipcodeのない日本のクレジットカードでの決済ができなかったので、VELTRAを通じてチケット購入しました。(値段は公式サイトと同じでした)
日本語ガイドさんが常駐しており戦艦の歴史と概要について説明してくれます。
こちらとUSアリゾナを予約して見学しましたが、航空博物館も見て回りたかったです。
パールハーバーはゆっくり時間をかけて見学されることをおすすめします。
A 2-hour drive. The road is intentionally bumpy, making for a very adventurous experience. There are breaks at three photo spots, and at each stop, the guiding staff shares stories about the surrounding mountains and islands. I was advised not to touch the gear, and even as a paper driver, I found it easy to drive. By the end, I was covered in sand from head to toe, including my hair and mouth. It was a lot of fun.
2時間のドライブ。わざと道を凸凹にしてあり、すごく揺れてアドベンチャー気分を味わえた。3箇所の撮影スポットで休憩があり、その都度、先導スタッフが周辺の山や島にまつわる話しをしてくれます。ギアは触らないよう注意され、ペーパードライバーの私でも簡単に運転できます。終わったら、全身、髪も口の中も砂まみれ。楽しかったです。
We participated as a three-generation family, from elementary school students to those in their 70s. My mother, who is in her 70s and sensitive to sunlight with frequent bathroom needs, was concerned about not being a burden to others and considered what activities she could join. We decided to try the submarine experience.
The boat to the submarine was large and had restrooms, and as we headed out to sea, we could feel the Hawaiian sea breeze. I believe that as long as one can manage to descend the ladder to switch to the submarine, even older adults can take on this challenge. We were able to see both sharks and turtles. Even though my mother doesn’t understand much English, she said she had a great time, so I think this activity is perfect for participants of all ages.
小学生から70代の3世代で参加しました。
70代で日差しに弱くトイレが近い母親が、他のみんなに迷惑にならないで参加できるものはないかと考察して潜水艦に挑戦しました。
潜水艦に乗るまでの船は大型でトイレもあり、沖に出るのでハワイの潮風を感じることができ、沖で潜水艦に乗り換えるはしごを降りることさえできれば、年配者でも挑戦できると思います。
サメもカメも見ることができました。英語があまりわからなくても、楽しかったと言っていたので、幅広い世代で参加するにはもってこいだと思います。
アロハ!
素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます!あなたとご家族を深海ダイビングにお迎えできたことは光栄でしたし、素晴らしい旅行を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです!私たちは、すべての年齢層にアピールするユニークな体験を提供することを誇りに思っており、あなたとご家族が潜水艦の快適さから海洋生物を見ることを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。ご参加いただき、温かい言葉を共有していただき、誠にありがとうございます。将来的に私たちの潜水艦やアトランティスクルーズの「マジェスティック」に再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。また、アトランティスの冒険、すなわち水中の旅、サンセットクルーズ、または季節のクジラウォッチクルーズをお楽しみいただければ幸いです。ぜひ、#atlantishawaiiで私たちのソーシャルメディアをフォローしてください。ア・フイ・ホウ(次回まで)。
Aloha!
Mahalo for your excellent review! It was an honor to welcome you and your family aboard for a deep-sea dive, and we're thrilled to hear you had a great trip! We pride ourselves on offering a unique experience that appeals to all ages, and we're so glad you and your family enjoyed getting to see marine life from the comfort of a submarine. Thank you very much for joining us and for sharing kind words. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
This was an amazing adventure to do with the whole family, and the host were great
Amazing is what we do!
Kualoa Ranch is vast, and you can go horseback riding and tour the filming locations by bus, along with many other tour participants. For those who don't understand English at all, it seemed like they just let the bus driver's explanations go in one ear and out the other. Everything was explained in English. There were also many participants who were not Japanese.
The scenery was very beautiful. The buffet had very few food options, and there were flies, so my nervous child couldn't eat much.
It's best to think of it as completely different from something like Universal Studios.
クアロアランチは広大で、乗馬できロケ地をバスで回ったりたくさんのツアーの方と現地でもバスで回ります。英語がさっぱり分からない方には
バス運転手の説明も聞き流す感じの様でした。
全て英語説明でした。
日本人以外の参加者も多数おられました。
景色は非常によかったです。
ビュッフェは食べるものがすくなくハエがたかって
神経質なうちの子はあまり食べられませんでした。
ユニバーサルスタジオの様な感じでは全く違うと
思われた方が良いです。
This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:
1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.
Very highly recommended!
Thank you guys! I appreciate it . Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!
They will pick you up at the hotel, so as long as you can wake up early, you can feel at ease. At Kualoa Ranch, in addition to the expedition tour, you can enjoy various activities such as horseback riding and tours of movie filming locations. The expedition tour offers wonderful views from the car window, but if you walk a little, you will find breathtaking scenery. The lunch was also delicious, and it was a very satisfying tour.
ホテルでピックアップしてくれるので、朝早くても起きられさえすれば安心。クアロラ・ランチではエクスペディションツアー以外にも、乗馬や、映画の撮影スポットを周るツアーなど、様々なアクティビティーが楽しめます。エクスペディションツアーは車窓からの景色も素晴らしいですが、少し歩くと、そこには絶景が。ランチもおいしく、大満足のツアーでした。
The probability of sandbars appearing due to rising sea levels and typhoon effects was very low. The water level was up to our waists.
Some people were able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling, which was a lot of fun.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent.
海水位上昇と台風の影響でサンドバーが出る確率とても低いとの事でした。私たちは腰ぐらいまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルは海亀と泳げた人もいてとても楽しかったです。
お昼のハンバーガーは最高でした。
I was a little late, but it was helpful that the boat hadn't left yet.
It was the last flight in the evening, but it took a long time to get through the city traffic. Please be careful.
The flight was a lot of fun, but you will be dropped into the sea once before landing, so make sure to wear a swimsuit.
時間に少し遅れてしまいましたがボートが出る前だったので助かりました。
夕方最後のフライトでしたが市内の渋滞で移動にとても時間がかかりました。ご注意下さい。
フライトはとても楽しかったですが着地前に海に一回落とされますので水着必着です。
The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.
Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.
朝一番でのシュノーケルで水の透明度が高くとても良かったです。アザラシも現れてとても可愛いかったです。
帰るころには砂が舞って少し濁っていたので朝一にしてとても良かったです。
シュノーケル等レンタルがついていましたが運転手さんが私達に渡し忘れるハプニングもありました。
入場料はまとめて代表者が払うので現金のみしかダメでした。ご注意下さい。
It's reassuring that there's an explanation in Japanese.
The view from the sandbar, which is inaccessible to individuals, is amazing.
It's a mysterious place that feels like being in the ocean but on land (coral).
The barbecue hamburgers were delicious.
We were lucky to encounter manta rays and turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral, we enjoyed schools of fish and a real aquarium experience!
日本語で説明があるから安心です。
個人では行けないサンドバーからの景色が最高です。
海の中にいるのに陸(珊瑚)のような・・不思議な場所です。
バーベキューのハンバーガーが美味しかったです。
運良くマンタとカメにも遭遇できました。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングでは魚の群れとリアル水族館が楽しめました!
