The Pearl Harbor Guided Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri tour was so moving. The Arizona Memorial was very humbling to know how many lives were given up for the freedom we enjoy today. The Battleship Missouri was amazing, knowing all the history that transpired on it. The tour underneath with all the memorabilia brought us right back to the days that the letter were written, the bed that were slept in, the uniforms that were worn and so much more. It was so educational and inspirational!

It was a fun tour riding buggies through the grounds of Kualoa Ranch. I think it's the best tour within Kualoa Ranch. A guide accompanies you, but all explanations at the points are in English, so for Japanese people who are not good at English, you might just have to feel the atmosphere.
The dust is quite intense, and your clothes and bags will get pretty dirty, so you need to be careful about what you wear and bring. Also, be careful when putting on the goggles after attaching them to the helmet, as it can get your face dirty.
クアロアランチの敷地内をバギーで駆け抜ける楽しいツアーでした。クアロアランチ内の行動範囲は、一番のツアーだと思います。ガイドが付きますが、ポイントでの説明は全て英語なので英語が得意でない日本人には、雰囲気で感じ取るしかないかな。
砂埃がすごく、洋服やバックはかなり汚れますので、着ていく服と持ち物には十分に注意が必要です。また、ゴーグルをヘルメットに付けた後に装着すると顔が汚れますので十分に注意してください。

I participated in June 2023. The pick-up from the hotel during my stay was convenient, and if you choose an activity with lunch included, the morning schedule isn't too early, which I recommend.
After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay for boarding. There are restrooms at the dock, but it can get crowded with participants. Don't worry, there are also restrooms on the boat.
When boarding, there were separate boats for Japanese guests and guests from other countries, so the boat I boarded was filled with Japanese tourists. The guide spoke only Japanese, so there were no issues.
The sandy beach of the heavenly sea is more like a shallow area, with the water reaching up to my waist. We also had time to practice snorkeling.
As for the lunch, the hamburgers were freshly grilled on the boat, and the meat was quite delicious, which made me very satisfied.
After lunch, we moved by boat while watching the honu (sea turtles) and snorkeled for about an hour at a snorkeling spot before returning to the port and taking the bus back. I think we arrived at the hotel around 4 PM.
I was able to see the honu from the boat, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any while snorkeling.
Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Just be careful about sunburn.
2023年6月に参加しました。滞在中のホテルからのピックアップで、昼食付きアクティビティであれば朝もそこまで早くないのでおすすめです。
バスで1時間ほど走ったらカネオヘ湾に到着、乗船となります。船着き場にはトイレもありますが、参加客で混雑します。船の中にもトイレはありますのでご安心を。
乗船の際は、日本人客の船と、それ以外の国の客とに分かれて船が用意されているので、乗った船はすべて日本人観光客でした。ガイドも全て日本語でしたので問題ございません。
天国の海の砂浜は、砂浜というか浅瀬になっており、腰まで海水が届きます。シュノーケリングの練習時間も兼ねておりました。
昼食のハンバーガーですが、船内でお肉が焼かれた出来たてのもので、肉もかなり美味しく満足できました。
昼食後に船で移動して、移動しながらホヌをウォッチングしつつ、シュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほどシュノーケリング、帰港、バスで送迎となります。ホテル到着は16時ぐらいだったと思います。
ホヌは船から見れましたが、シュノーケリング中は残念ながら会えませんでした。
全体を通してかなり満足のいくものでした。ただ日焼けにはご注意を。

The tour included a Japanese guide, but most participants were from overseas, so the explanations were primarily in English, with occasional translations in Japanese. If you asked questions, they would respond in Japanese. During the trekking, the group gradually spread out at their own pace, so I hardly listened to the explanations in the second half, but I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature and the fresh air around me. I never thought I would go out of my way to experience such impressive nature in Japan, so I'm glad I participated in this tour! For those interested in the Manoa Falls tour, I hope you can enjoy the great outdoors without worrying too much about language or history.
日本語ガイドさん付きでしたが、参加者の方は海外の方が多く基本的には英語、日本語でもちょくちょく解説してくれる感じでした。
質問したら日本語で教えてくれますし、トレッキング中はだんだん団体の間隔がそれぞれのペースで空いてくるので、後半はほとんど解説を聞いてなかったんですが、目の前に広がる大自然と肌に感じる澄んだ空気で全然楽しめました^ ^

The directions listed on the voucher did not include guidance from the Haleiwa area, which led to some confusion as I thought I should turn on Einos Rd. I was also flustered because Google Maps provided incorrect directions. When coming from Haleiwa, you should pass Einos Rd, continue for a while, and then turn right at the sign after passing the church on your right. Unfortunately, we encountered rain several times along the way, but the zipline experience itself was very enjoyable, and the staff were friendly. Even though we didn't understand English well, we had a great time.

We participated as a couple in mid-June. Since neither of us speaks any English, we were worried about how it would go, but upon arrival, the check-in guidance and the reception for each activity had a separate announcement saying, "For Japanese speakers, please go this way," so we were able to use the services with peace of mind. The four-wheeler was an automatic vehicle, so we could drive it just like a car in Japan. One thing to note is that while driving, mud and water from the car in front can splash onto you. I think it's better not to wear your favorite white T-shirt.

I have been there for lunch before, and this time I visited for dinner. We went with six people, and since we had a reservation, we were smoothly guided to our seats. The dishes were all beautifully presented, and they tasted as good as they looked. I think it was a good deal since we booked through Veltra and had a course meal. We paid separately for drinks and tips on the day. I believe it's a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind. We made a reservation for 5:30 PM, but shortly after, it was fully booked, and there were people waiting at the reception, so it's definitely a place where reservations are necessary.

There were three of us participating, and the rest were about 25 foreign guests. We were lucky to have two guides, and one Japanese guide was assigned to our group of three, providing detailed explanations on various topics. The ground was wet and uneven, so it was necessary to take precautions against slipping. I think it's best to be prepared for muddy shoes as well. The path to the waterfall features various plants and power spots, so it was never boring.
On the way back, we received sandwiches and were taken directly to Tantalus Lookout for lunch. It was a beautiful hill with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and it felt wonderful to be there.

We completely enjoyed our tour of this beautiful island. Our guide was amazing. Keyleon He had so much knowledge about the areas he expertly drove us to.
The only negative I found is that most people who took this tour were staying on this island. We did a flight from Oahu to Kauai. We missed our return flight due to slow traffic conditions. If you plan to island hop- make sure you get a later flight off this island or you will spend a huge amount of time in the airport.

I participated with my wife.
It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.
The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.
There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.
Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.
妻と二人で参加しました。
小型のボートで1時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。
同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。
上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います!晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。
総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.
Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.
6/4(日)のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで(日本のホテルのバイキング/ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン)、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

First, I took the city bus "The Bus" in Hawaii to the meeting point, but I was about 3 minutes late due to a bus delay. I knew I would be late when I got on the bus, so I contacted them via email. When I arrived, the staff kindly greeted me in Japanese, saying, "That must have been tough, but it's okay!"
Participants who had the same schedule had already gone out to the jet ski area by boat, and I waited at the reception for about 15 minutes. I was able to board a boat that was taking other activity participants to the jet ski area. The boat staff also spoke casually in Japanese.
Once I arrived at the jet ski area, the staff continued to speak kindly in Japanese, joking with me and making me feel that they were considerate about my tardiness, saying, "Don't worry about being late!" They explained how to ride the jet ski and the etiquette in Japanese, so I had no trouble understanding.
The actual jet ski experience was exhilarating, racing across the sea. Although the speedometer showed around 30 kilometers per hour, it felt much faster. The refreshing sensation of speeding under the sun, with ocean spray splashing around, was fantastic. The activity involved repeatedly circling four buoys in a clockwise direction, and it was a great way to enjoy jet skiing. The waves were high that day, causing the jet ski to sway and making it necessary to get used to handling it (I think you could get accustomed to it after 2-3 laps, but it depends on the environment and the person). I rode tandem with my wife, who found it scary after just two laps of driving, so I took over for the rest. While jumping over waves was fun, doing it repeatedly could throw off your balance, which might be a bit scary.
There were about six jet skis participating in the same circuit, maintaining a distance of 20-30 meters apart, with overtaking allowed from the outside. The unique waves created by the jet skis made it difficult to drive if the person in front was too close. When I was driving, a young man in front of me was swerving on purpose, creating irregular waves that made it very hard to steer. I wished he would have followed the etiquette...
By the way, during the ride, a GoPro was mounted on the boat's steering area to take photos and videos. After the tour, when we returned to the reception facility, they showed us the photos, but purchasing them cost over $50.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience as a marine sport, and the staff were all very kind and attentive, which left a positive impression.
*The goggles they recommend purchasing before riding (for $10) seemed almost unnecessary.*
まず、当日にハワイの市バスの「ザ•バス」での移動で集合場所に向かったが、バス遅延で集合時間に3分ほど遅刻...。バスに乗る時点で遅れることがわかっていたのでメールにて連絡しておいたところ、到着したらすぐに「大変だったね、大丈夫だからね!」と受付の方が日本語で優しく接してくれた。
すでにジェットスキー乗り場のある沖合に、同じ時間の参加者は船で出ており、15分ほど受付で待機。同施設の、他アクティビティ参加者を連れて行くボートに一緒に乗せてもらって乗り場まで移動した。ボートスタッフも日本語で気さくに話してくれた。
乗り場についてからも、日本語で話してくれるスタッフが優しく、冗談なども交えて話しかけてくれ、遅刻したことを「気にしないで!」と配慮してくれていたようにも感じた。ジェットスキーの乗り方、マナーなども日本語でわかるように教えてもらい、何も困らなかった。
実際のジェットスキー体験は海の上を大激走、メーターでは時速30キロ前後ではあったもののかなり体感速度が速く感じた。太陽の下、海洋の上、吹き上がる水飛沫を受けながら走り抜ける爽快感は見事だった。設置された4つのウキを時計回りに周回するのを繰り返すというものだが、ジェットスキーを手軽に楽しめるという点では申し分ない。当日は波が高く、ジェットスキーが大きく揺られたりハンドルをとられたりすることもあり、運転には少し慣れが必要と感じた(2〜3週すれば慣れると思うが、環境や人による)。自分は妻とタンデムで乗ったが、妻は2週だけ運転して怖かったとのことで、残りはずっと自分が運転した。波を越えるのは楽しいが、何度も連続していると体勢を崩してじい、少し怖いかも。
同時に周回するジェットスキー(参加者)は6台ほどで、基本は20〜30m空けて走行、外側からなら追い越し有り。ジェットスキーの走った後は独特な波が生まれるため、前の人が近いと自然に波に揺られることになる。自分が運転した時は、前にいた青年がわざと蛇行運転をし、波が不規則に立ってしまってとても運転しづらかった。マナーは守ってほしかった...。
ちなみに運転中、GoProをボートのハンドル部分中心につけ、写真や動画を撮ってくれる。ツアーが終わって受付の施設に戻ると写真等を見せてくれるが、購入するには50ドル以上のお金がかかった。
全体としては十分に楽しめるマリンスポーツとして最高の思い出となった。とにかくスタッフがみんな優しく丁寧で好感を持てる。
※乗る前に勧められるゴーグル購入(10ドル)は、ほぼ必要ないと思われる。

It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.

One of our favourite activities and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone - and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Oahu!
We thank you for such a great review. We are so excited to read what a wonderful experience you all had. We do hope you'll come back soon to see us again.
Mahalos!

I went on the 5-Star cruise. I made a reservation with the Celebration Plan (guaranteed window seat) and paid for it, but I was booked under the regular plan. While the manager was confirming my reservation, I couldn't eat the food in front of me for about 30 minutes after being seated. In the end, it turned out that the reservation from VELTRA to Star of Honolulu was under the regular plan, and I was treated as such until the end. I never expected something like this to happen. I'm very disappointed.
Also, it seems that the shuttle bus got caught in traffic, so by the time we arrived, dinner had already started, and other guests who arrived earlier were enjoying their meals.
I thought there might be a separate entrance for the 5-Star guests, but there wasn't anything like that. We all lined up at one entrance to board the ship.
The schedule mentioned that there would be a welcome reception by the captain on the exclusive deck on the top floor for 5-Star guests, but there was nothing of the sort. We were just guided to line up and proceed into the ship.
The food wasn't particularly delicious; it was average. It was mentioned that the meat could be cut with a fork, but it was more like something you could manage to cut with a knife.
I have been to Hawaii several times, and regarding the Hilton fireworks, I've seen them from various places, but sitting on the beach south of the Rainbow Tower is the best spot. Watching the fireworks from the cruise ship was an experience, but since it was from a distance, it lacked impact.
Additionally, guests from the lower deck were casually coming up the stairs to the 5-Star deck. There was a rope at the top of the stairs, but they seemed to know how to unhook it to get in and then rehook it. These were regular guests, not staff.
I was considering this might be my elderly mother's first and last overseas trip, so I regret spending a lot of money and time on this optional tour. I hope this review can be helpful to someone.
5スターで行ってきました。
セレブレーションプラン(窓際席確約)で予約し、その分の金額も支払いましたが、通常のプランで予約されており、あちらのマネージャーに予約したプランの確認をしてもらっている間、席についてからも30分ほど、目の前の料理を食べることができませんでした。
結局、VELTRAからスターオブホノルルへの予約が通常プランだったそうで、最後まで通常プランとしての扱いとなりました。
こんなことが起きるなんて、思いもしませんでした。非常に残念で仕方ありません。
また、恐らく送迎バスが渋滞に巻き込まれたせいで、私たちが到着した頃にはすでにディナーは始まっており、先に着いていた他のお客さんは食事を楽しんでました。
乗船する際に5スター用の入口でもあるのかなと思ってましたが、特にそのようなものはなく、大勢で列に並んで一か所の入り口から乗船しました。
5スターだと「最上階の専用デッキでキャプテンによるウェルカムレセプションがある」というスケジュールが記載されていますが、そんなものは一切ありません。列になって船内に進むように案内されました。
料理も、特別おいしいものではなかったですね。普通です。お肉がフォークで切れるという記載がありますが、ナイフでがんばって切れるぐらいの感じでした。
私自身は何度かハワイに行ったことがあり、ヒルトンの花火については、いろいろな場所から見てますが、レインボータワーの南側のビーチに座って見るのが一番ですね。
クルーズ船から花火を見れたことは一つの経験にはなりましたが、遠くから見ることになるので、全然迫力はないです。
それから、下の階のお客さんが、普通に5スターのデッキに階段を上ってきてました。一応階段を上がった先にロープがありますが、手慣れた感じでフックを外して入って、またフックをかけてました。スタッフの方ではなく、一般のお客さんです。
年老いた母を含めた、最初で最後の海外旅行だろうと考えてましたので、このようなオプショナルツアーに大金と時間を使ったことが残念で仕方がないです。
誰かの参考になればと思い、口コミを残します。

From the beginning the crew made us feel completely comfortable. The trip out to the sandbar was relaxing yet exciting at the same time as we looked back upon the shoreline admiring the greenery that the island presented. The sandbar was just breathtaking!!! It was so amazing to think that we were standing in the ocean on a beach....crazy! The cruise around afterwards presented not only some sea turtles, but two large schools of manta rays feeding on the surface.
Overall trip was completely enjoyable and we plan on bringing all of our friends and family when they visit!!!!
On a side note, parking is extremely difficult in/on the marina, so just park on the side of the highway (everyone does) and it's just a short walk to the boat.
Make this one of your excursions when you visit!!!!!

It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.
とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ?の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。
