Oahu
Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.
It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!
海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止？かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした
映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す

I was able to see incredibly beautiful scenery from the sky! On the day of the flight, the wind was very strong, which was quite scary, but it was a great experience. The staff at the reception spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat did not speak any, so I didn't understand a single word of the explanation before the flight.
It was written in Japanese at the reception that you should tell the crew about the photo service once you get on the boat, but there wasn't really a good timing to mention it, and the group that didn't communicate anything missed out on getting their photos taken. We were giving off a strong "please take our photo" vibe, and just before we took off, the crew asked us, "Photo?" so we were able to request it somehow.
とっても綺麗な景色を空から見ることが出来ました！
当日は風がとても強く、かなり怖かったですがとてもいい体験ができました。
受付の方は少しだけ日本語が通じましたが船の添乗員さんは全くだったので、飛ぶ前の説明は一言も分かりませんでした。
写真のサービスは船に乗ったら添乗員さんに言ってくださいと受付に日本語で書いてありましたが、言うタイミングは特になく、何も伝えていなかったグループは撮ってもらえてなかったです。
私たちは撮って欲しいオーラをすごく出していたら飛ぶ直前に添乗員さんに"フォト？"と聞かれたのでなんとかお願いすることができました。

We had a very fun time on our tour. Chris, our tour guide was fabulous. We learned so many facts about the filming of some of the movies. It was a very enjoyable experience.
I waited for over 30 minutes at a very crowded meeting point without any announcements. However, once we got on the bus, it was the usual fun tour. Thanks to the crew's support, my 80-year-old grandmother had a great time!
すごく混み合っている集合場所でアナウンスもないまま30分以上待たされました。でも、バスに乗ってからはいつもの楽しいツアー。80歳のおばあちゃんもクルーのサポートのおかげでたっぷり楽しめました！
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. On the day of the tour, there were customers who arrived late at a different meeting point, which caused a delay for the other customers, and we sincerely apologize for that. However, we are very relieved to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you.
From all the 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。ツアー当日は他の集合場所に遅れてきたお客様がおり、後のお客様をお待たせする事となってしまい大変申訳ございませんでした。それでもツアーを楽しんで頂けたとのお言葉を聞けて大変ホッとしております。ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同

This was so amazing and fun. The crew was top notch! We will definitely do this on all return trips to the island.

Dear Marcelle and Tom, Yes, we are very lucky to have Branndon and Kim!! Thank you so very much for taking your valuable time to rate us and for your kind words. We are truly grateful to all guests and visitors who express their appreciation of our services. We look forward to seeing you again! :) Ceci and the Oahu Nature Tours Team
I finally got to visit Manoa Falls, which I had wanted to see for a long time. I signed up for a Japanese tour, but I was the only Japanese person there. However, the guide was Japanese, and even the English explanations were very easy to understand.
The hike was quite tough, and the walking stick they lent me was very helpful. I wore long sleeves and long pants, but I was sweating a lot along the way. I wanted to take them off, but I was afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes, so I endured it.
My shoes ended up muddy. There is a place to wash them, so you can get some of the dirt off, but they won't get completely clean, so I think it's best to wear shoes that you don't mind throwing away.
For lunch, we ate on Tantalus Hill while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. The view was much nicer than at night.
The sandwich was very delicious. It was from the sandwich shop next to the Starbucks in Manoa.
I'm glad I had such a fun experience.
ずっと来たいと思っていたマノア滝にやっと行けました。日本語ツアーで申し込みましたが、日本人は私のみ。ですが、ガイドの方が日本の方で英語の説明でもとてもわかりやすく私でも理解できました。
ハイキングは割とキツく、杖を貸して頂いたのがとても役に立ちました。長袖長ズボンで行きましたが、途中で汗だく。でも脱いだら蚊に刺されそうだったので我慢しました。
靴は泥まみれになります。洗う場所もあるので少しは土が落とせますが、ちゃんと綺麗にはならないので捨てても良い靴で行くと良いと思います。
ランチはタンタラスの丘でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを見ながら食べます。夜のタンタラスよりもずっと素敵な景色です。
サンドイッチがとても美味しかったです。

Since we participated as a family of four, this is my second post, but we enjoyed the thrill and excitement in a freedom that can't be experienced in Japan! It is somewhat pricey, but I think it was worth it! If I have the chance to visit Hawaii again, I would like to participate again♪
4人家族で参加したので、2度目投稿ですが、
日本では味わえない自由の中でスリルとワクワクが楽しめました！
それなりのお値段ではありますが、
参加して良かったと思います！
またハワイを訪れる事があったら参加したいと思います♪

The weather was unfortunately a bit cold, but the sandbar was beautiful, and we were greeted by sea turtles. We saw many more sea turtles afterward, and it was fun to encounter a lot of fish while snorkeling. They also ensured our safety thoroughly. The lunch was delicious as well. I am grateful to Yuki and the captain.
あいにくの天気で多少寒かったですが
それでもサンドバーは美しく、ウミガメが
出迎えてくれました。
その後も沢山のウミガメが見られ、
シュノーケリング中多くの魚と出会い楽しかったです。安全にも万全を期していただきました。
ランチも美味しかったです。
ユキさんと船長に感謝です。

Here are a few points to keep in mind for your reference! First, during Golden Week, it might still be a bit chilly to go into the water. I had a towel in my belongings, but I forgot it on the day, but it was okay since they were selling them at the shop. If you took commemorative photos, please go to the blue building (next to the sea lions) after the activity to pick up your photos. It seems that some people forget to take them home. There is one Japanese guide in the park who can teach you various things if you need assistance. The dolphin show starts at 12:30, but it overlaps with lunchtime. You can order takeout from the restaurant and eat while watching the show. The restaurant is somewhat pricey. For the round-trip tour, the return time was not written on the voucher. Please make sure to confirm the pickup time at the initial counter. The bus usually arrives about 20 minutes before the gathering time. It was a different bus than the one I took on the way there, so please talk to the driver to confirm. They will check your passport on the way back, so make sure to take a photo of it on your smartphone! By the way, the bus on the way there also arrived early. Once the group is gathered, it departs immediately. Although it was my first time and I was a bit confused, it turned out to be a fun experience.
気をつけることを何点残しますので、ご参考までに！まずGWはまだ水に入るのにはまだ肌寒いかもしれません。持ち物にタオルがありますが、当日忘れてしまいましたが、ショップに売っていたので大丈夫でした。記念写真を撮った方は、アクティビティ終了後にブルーの建物（アシカの隣）へ、写真を受け取りに行ってください。忘れて帰ってしまう方がチラホラいるみたいです。園内に日本人のガイドさんが1人いらっしゃいます。その方がいれば色々教えて下さいます。イルカのショータイムが12時半からでしたが、昼時と重なりますが、レストランでテイクアウトにして、ショーを見ながら飲食ができます。レストランはまぁまぁお高いです。ツアーの往復送迎ありは、帰り時間がバーチャーに書いてありませんでした。最初のカウンターで必ずピックアップ時間を確認しておいてください。バスは集合時間の20分前ぐらいには到着していました。行きに乗ったバスとは違いましたので、ドライバーに話しかけて確認してください。帰りはパスポートの確認をされます。必ずスマホで写真を撮っておいてくださいね！ちなみに、行きのバスも早めに到着していました。人数が集まったら即出発します。初めてでちょっと戸惑いながらも、楽しい経験になりました。

I was looking forward to the activity.
Shortly after departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins!
I'm not a great swimmer, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling without any issues, and I also got to see a sea turtle!
The staff were all lively, and there were Japanese people among them, so I felt安心して楽しめました!
Thank you very much.
楽しみにしていたアクティビティ。
出港してまもなくイルカの群れに出会えました！
泳ぎは苦手ですがシュノーケリングも問題なく楽しめ、ウミガメを見ることもできました！
スタッフの方みんな賑やかで日本人の方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ありがとうございました。

It was really fun. the staff were very nice and the live band was so fun! 10/10 experience! Everyone was so friendly
Mahalo for the review & kind words our crew! - Team KBOS
This was an excellent experience from start to finish! Dan promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us to Hanauma Bay. He took care of collecting all of our gear needed for snorkeling and had wet suits to rent if needed. Dan gave great instructions/tips to the group on how to snorkel. Dan and his partner then took us throughout the bay to the best sites to see the tropical fish. He even took pictures for us! I highly recommend this tour! It is an experience we won’t forget!
Thank you Kendra, you guys dud great!
Hope we see you again.
Dan and Chieko.
If you get motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must! I took some, but I still ended up feeling really nauseous. I think the fatigue from traveling and lack of sleep contributed to it. However, the instructor welcomed us warmly, even with the nausea, which made it a lot of fun.
乗り物酔いする方は酔い止め必須です！
酔い止めを飲みましたがそれでもゲロ酔いしました。旅の疲れと寝不足もあったと思いますが。でもインストラクターがゲロ酔いも含め明るく迎えてくれたのでとても楽しかったです。

Even with the weather turning sour was such a great experience
One of the best experience of my life! Amazing views accompanied by an amazing staff! This activity can be what you make of it! A nice family time, relaxing time, party animal time or the adventurer!

We had an amazing experience at the ranch
One couple in our group had a different time slot than
Us and they were able to get us all together !
Which was hands down the best !!
We were bummed we weren’t going to experience it together .
Our guides were super chill and Informative!!
THEE BEST TOUR GUIDES .
I believe their names were Lee and red ?
Don’t quote me on it . Lol
The cows along the way were so beautiful
The stories of the mountains were beautiful
The ride along the dirt was so fun
I definitely recommend being the driver !!
We didn’t get muddy but we definitely had dirt/dust everywhere!!!!! So maybe no makeup lol
great day of history and reliving the past when walking through the PH grounds.
the ranch is breathtaking, and the atv tour although super fast, does give you a great ranch tour!
was skeptical as it shares a lot with wet n wild, however don't let that fool you as this was a way to end our trip! fabulous evening, nothing bad to say!
definitely great instructors, was standing and surfing by the end! goals!
Swimming in the pool made it easy for my kids to enjoy the one thing they wanted to do in Hawaii!
My daughter had smiles on her face the whole time. Wish my other daugther was old enough!
Hanauma Bay was a really great and fun experience. It's an early activity but the water isn't too bad, as it's quite easy to warmup in the ocean. The ride to Hanauma Bay from our pick-up location was prompt and comfortable and that genuinely enhanced the experience. The driver, Orlando, was very kind and informative.
This was the best vehicle experience I've had in Hawaii!
First of all, driving the 4WD was really fun!
There were various types of terrain, and we drove on slippery surfaces and off-road paths, which is quite an experience that you can't easily have in Japan!
Moreover, the stunning nature and the lively narration by our guide Kioki (I think his American name was Johnny) made the history of Hawaii come alive, and his precise driving support truly enhanced the experience!
Having lived in America for about 10 years, I didn't have any language barriers, but if you don't understand English, you might miss out on about 30% of the fun. Still, I think it's a tour worth participating in!
Also, be prepared to get covered in mud and dust! (laughs)
今までのハワイの乗り物体験で最高でした！
まずは、四駆のDriveは本当に面白い！
色々な路面があり、スリッピーな路面や道なき道も走って、なかなか日本ではできない体験！
そして、豪快な自然となんといっても案内人のキオキ(アメリカ名ジョニーだったかな)さんの軽快な語りでハワイの歴史や的確なドライビングのサポートで本当に楽しまさせていただきました！
私はアメリカにも10年ほど住んでいたので、言葉の面で不便はありませんが、もし 英語がわからないと楽しさは30%減かもしれませんがそれでも参加すべきツアーだと思いました！
あと泥水や土ほこりをしっかりかぶりますので覚悟しておいてください(笑)

Great fun for the whole family! Older kids enjoy this too.
I could barely speak English, but the staff seemed used to it and communicated in broken Japanese. We participated in three groups (none of which had Japanese members), and the cheerful staff engaged with each group, making the boat ride very enjoyable! When I mentioned we were on our honeymoon, they playfully suggested we kiss while parasailing, and they told the other groups about our honeymoon, which made us happy to receive their congratulations.
During the boat ride, we were able to see the whales spouting water, making the journey even more enjoyable! This group didn't experience any seasickness, but there were instructions to vomit outside the boat if needed, which was amusing. Parasailing offered a stunning view of all of Hawaii, and both my husband and I were thrilled! It was fine to wear sunglasses while bringing a GoPro. We went up to 120 meters, but I wonder how different it would have been at 150 meters, which leaves me a bit regretful.
We were dropped into the water just enough to not submerge our faces, and the excitement from the calls of "Kiss!" from below added to the fun, creating a level of energy that was unlike anything in Japan for our honeymoon! There are photos capturing the moment we took off, so some of them clearly show our faces! I initially planned not to buy any photos, but I would regret it if I didn't! We really enjoyed our honeymoon! Thank you! ♡
ほぼ英語喋れませんでしたが、向こうも慣れてるのか指示出しはカタコトの日本語でした。
3グループ(日本人なし)で参加して、それぞれのグループに陽気にスタッフさんが話しかけて、船の時間もとても楽しかったです！
ハネムーンできてることを伝えるとパラセーリング中キスしなよ！と陽気にいじってきたり、他のグループにもハネムーンできてるんだよ！と伝え皆さんにおめでとうといってもらえて嬉しかったです
船の移動中にはクジラの潮吹きをみれて、船の旅も楽しめます！今回のグループは船酔いみなさん一切しませんでしたが、酔った場合は船の外に吐いてねと指示も予めありました笑
パラセーリングはハワイ全貌が見えて、夫婦ともに大興奮でした！GoProの持ち込みサングラスを掛けたままでも問題なかったです。120mでしたが、150mだとどれほど違かったのか少し心残りです。
顔がつかない程度に海に落とされたり、下からキース！コールで盛り上がられたりハネムーンとしては日本でないぐらいのテンション感を味わえたのがとても楽しかったです！笑
写真も飛び立つ瞬間とか含まれてるので顔がよく分かるものもあります！写真をはじめ買わない想定でしたが、買わないと後悔します！笑
ハネムーンを楽しめました！ありがとうございます♡

Our experience aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly kind staff. I was nervous having a toddler but everyone assured us our son was welcomed. They even had a place store our stroller.
One of the first things that struck us was how immaculately clean the boat was. It was evident that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities for the crew.
The ride itself was an absolute blast! Having never been on a catamaran, it did not disappoint! As we cruised along, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sunset casting its warm hues over the Honolulu skyline, with the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head in the background. We even got to anchor and jump into the ocean.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was how family-friendly it was. The crew went above and beyond to ensure my little one was comfortable even though he was crying. They were so incredibly nice!
Overall, our time aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was an absolute delight. We can't recommend it enough for families looking to create unforgettable memories in the stunning backdrop of Honolulu. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our experience so memorable!
We absolutely love hearing these kind of reviews! Im beyond thrilled to hear you had such a great time and we hope you come back each year!
Mahalo,
Drew Andersen
I had a amazing time!! Definitely recommend it to the employees of the condo we were staying at for future recommendations it was great learning about the culture
Overall, beautiful and the service made our life so much easier. We would recommend these guys again.
With the bay...
Fish weren't as plentiful as the pictures...by a long shot.
Perhaps planning on being there at high tide would help with making the space easier to snorkel.
Interesting process getting into the bay.
Great friendly service from the crew we booked with helping us manage these processes at the bay.
Food and drink options there are slim and no where to sit and eat them as you wait for transport back.
