Oahu
I participated with my 65-year-old mother!
We were in a team of eight, which included two groups of six people from Korea and the two of us.
At first, we watched a video in English on how to drive, but they also showed us a separate video with Japanese subtitles.
The guide spoke entirely in English, so we couldn't understand everything, but they explained the necessary safety information with gestures, and we had plenty of practice time, which made us feel secure before setting off.
I initially thought it might be a bit difficult for my mother due to her age, but there were some older participants in the other groups (not Japanese), and above all, we were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan, which made my mother the happiest.
The guide took a lot of photos for us, and the Korean group we participated with were very kind, creating truly wonderful memories.
65歳の母と参加しました!
一緒のチームになったのは韓国人グループ2組6人と、私たち母娘2人の計8人でした。
最初、運転方法を英語のビデオで見るのですが、私たちは別で日本語字幕付きのビデオを見せてくれました。
ガイドの方は全て英語で話すので、全てを理解することはできませんでしたが、安全に必要なことは身振り手振りで説明してくれましたし、練習時間もたっぷりとってくれたので安心して出発することができました。
最初は母の年齢には少し難しいかな?と思いましたが、他のグループにはもう少し年配の方(日本人ではなく)も参加していましたし、何より日本ではなかなか経験できないことができて、母が1番楽しんでいました^^
ガイドさんにたくさん写真も撮っていただき、一緒に参加した韓国人グループの方々にも優しくしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。
It was my first time on a four-wheeler, and it was quite thrilling. Everyone in the family was able to enjoy it. With the beautiful scenery, I think it became a great memory.
四輪バギーは初めてでしたが、かなりスリリングで家族のみんなが楽しむことができました。いい景色も相まって、よい思い出になったと思います
。
At first, I was anxious about the tour being conducted only in English, but when I asked the staff with a translation device, "Is there anyone who can speak Japanese?" they kindly brought over a staff member who spoke Japanese. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy everything from meals to activities!
最初は英語だけのツアーで不安でしたが、スタッフに翻訳機で「日本語対応できる方いますか_」と質問すると、親切に日本語が喋られるスタッフを連れてきてくれました。
おかげで、食事からアクティビティまで楽しくできました!
It was a very thrilling tour. The excitement of boarding a submarine on the ocean (of course, safety was taken into consideration) and the sunken ships and planes after diving felt like something out of a movie.
とても迫力あるツアーでした。
海上で潜水艦に乗るところからワクワクするスリル(もちろん安全に考慮されてました)、潜水後も沈没した船や飛行機が映画のようでした。
You can enjoy horseback riding for two hours through the forest and grasslands. The view of the sea from the hill and the grasslands that look like they were used for filming Jurassic Park were beautiful. Our cute guide explained various historical facts and stories in a fast-paced manner. It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a great experience. I look forward to doing it again next time. If you're not fluent in English, I think it's better not to lead the group while riding. There are many paths that can be confusing about where to go, but that adds to the wild charm.
林の中、草原をぽくぽくと乗馬を2時間楽しめます。おかの上からの海の眺めや、ジェラシックパークの撮影につかわれたような草原など、かわいいガイドさんが、一生懸命早口でいろいろ、歴史やいわれなどを説明してくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、とてもいい経験できました。また、次回楽しみたいです。英語が堪能でなければ、乗馬での先頭には、ならないほうが、いいと思います。どちらに行けばよいか悩むよな小道が多いですが、それもワイルドでよいです。
I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.
マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。
This is the most fun attraction to drive yourself. They provide helmets and dust masks, or rather neck covers, and at first, I thought it was just for atmosphere. However, as we drove through the dust, it became essential, and my clothes and shoes turned brown from the dirt. It's definitely worth a visit, but be careful about your clothing!
これは自分で運転するのが最高に楽しいアトラクションです。ヘルメットと粉塵防止の、マスクというかネックカバーが配られるのですが、最初は雰囲気作り?と思っていましたが、途中から欠かせないくらい土埃の中を走行して、服も靴も土埃で茶色になってしまいます。絶対行ってみる価値あり、服装注意って感じです。
The staff was very courteous from the bus transportation to the wait staff! Entertainment was enjoyable and the dancers were great and gave an energetic performance. The food was delicious.
The amount of dolphins out during our tour made me feel extra lucky! The west side of Oahu is sure gorgeous
Thank you Hawaii Activities for helping me get a spot, it was an awesome day spent in the outdoors.
I was told this event was one of the best things on Oahu and I have to agree, it was a splendid day away from Waikiki and it Oahu's nature
From the amazing staff who fulfilled every moment. To seeing whales, turtles, dolphins and many varieties of fish. Diving off the boat into the ocean. A perfect day to end our vacation in paradise Hawaii.
The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time. The hamburgers were also very delicious.
I was able to see sea turtles, and the atmosphere on the boat was nice.
The bus on the way back was delayed, but there was not a single person who was irritated; in fact, the waiting time was enjoyable.
天気にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい時間でした。
ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
ウミガメも見れたし、船の中の雰囲気も良かったです。
帰りのバスの到着が遅れてしまいましたが、イライラする人などは一人もいなくて、待ち時間も楽しかったくらいです。
It was my first Segway experience since 2019, and I had a great time with my son, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and my family of three. It felt very refreshing to be back in Hawaii, Waikiki, and Kaka'ako after a long time. I am planning to visit Hawaii again this year.
2019年以来のセグウェイ体験でした、ハワイが初めての息子と家族3人で大変楽しかったです。
久しぶりのハワイ・ワイキキ・カカアコはとても新鮮な感じがしましたよ~
今年もハワイを計画致します。
The captain were so much fun, me and my boyfriend had the best time.
I participated with my 5-year-old son and his father! First, the voucher said to gather at 10:30, but when we arrived, we were told to regroup at 10:55, so we changed and gathered! When we assembled, we were given life jackets, but they were wet from the previous customers! If you’re not wearing a wetsuit, it can be quite cold! My child was already saying it was cold at that point.
The activity was supposed to be 35 minutes of fun with dolphins, but there was an explanation that took about 30 minutes before it started, and we were left feeling quite cold in the wet life jackets against our bare skin, waiting for the dolphin interaction to begin. (It was December, and it wasn't very hot, but it was sunny ☀️)
Once we got into the water, it was incredibly cold!!! In the end, my lips turned purple, and I was shivering uncontrollably. Afterward, we jumped into the hotel jacuzzi. Other foreign guests also looked a bit cold. If you have underwater goggles, you can dive down and observe, but since it's the dolphins' habitat, it can't be helped; however, there were some weeds, and the water wasn't exactly clean.
That said, the interaction with the dolphins was plentiful; they performed many tricks right in front of us, we could feed them, and we swam alongside them✨. We took lots of cute photos and returned very satisfied. For the 35-minute activity, you need not only a towel but also a swimsuit.
5歳の息子と父親で参加しました!
まず、バウチャーには10:30集合になっていましたが行ってみると55分に再集合と言われ、着替えて集合!
集合がかかるとライフジャケットを渡されるのですが、前のお客様が着ていたものなので濡れています!
ウエットスーツを着ていないとかなり冷たいかも!
子供はその時点で冷たい冷たいと言っていました。
そして、35分間イルカと楽しめるアクティビティとのことでしたが、始まるまでの説明というか、お話がプラスで30分程と、とても長く冷たいライフジャケットを素肌に着たまま、なかなか始まらないイルカとのふれあいに水に入る前から既にちょっと寒そう。(12月でとても暑い日ではなかったですが晴れていました☀️)
そして水に入ると、またとんでもなく水が冷たい!!!
最終的に唇は紫でガクブルでガタガタ震え、終わってからホテルのジャグジーにドボンでした
他の外国の方々も少し寒そうにしていました
水中眼鏡を持っていれば一緒に潜って観察して良いのですが、イルカの住むところなので仕方ないのですが、潜ると藻があったり水は清潔とは言い難い様子。
が、イルカとの触れ合いはたっぷり、目の前で沢山芸をしてくれたりフィーディングができたり、イルカと一緒に並んで泳げたり✨可愛い写真もたくさんで大満足で帰ってきました
35分のアクティビティでは持ち物、タオルだけではなく水着必要です
It might always be like this, but perhaps due to the year-end usage, it was very crowded. The atmosphere was a bit awkward throughout because various groups were mixed at the long table for meals. When seated, the pineapple set on the table gave off a vibe of "please share it among yourselves," which further intensified the awkwardness. The taste of the buffet was just okay. During the meal, cast members performing hula and playing the ukulele came around to each table, but if you're looking for something more substantial, this might not be the place for you. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch a show, which was probably of high quality (the American guests were really excited about the Elvis and MJ impersonations), but it felt more like an impersonation show and lacked the Hawaiian vibe, which was disappointing.
いつもこうなのかもしれないが、年末の利用ということもあったせいかとても混雑していた。食事がロングテーブルに色々なグループが混雑しているため終始少し気まずい空気。着席時にテーブルにセットされてたパイナップルはこの辺りの人で適当に分けてねという感じで気まずい空気に更に拍車が掛かる。肝心のビュッフェの味はまあまあ。食事中にフラ踊るやウクレレ演奏するキャストが各テーブルを回って来るがしっかりとしたものを見たい人はココじゃなくても良いかも。食事の後、シアターに移動して観るショーはクオリティは高いのだろうが(アメリカ人っぽいお客さんはエルヴィスとかMJのモノマネでとても盛り上がっていたので)モノマネショーがメインといった感じでハワイっぽさはあまりないのが残念。
Highly Recommended!
Superb business and employees. Pilot had excellent communication with passengers, ground crew were beyond helpful and friendly.
The views were breathtaking and you are able to capture stunning pictures of the island beauty.
Great tour
Fantastic experience
One in a lifetime opportunity don't miss.
Fantastic crew
4 of us booked this trip and it was the best experience. These guys are the real pros. Everything about the trip from start to finish was top notch. Very rare for excursions. There are only a few companies on Oahu and they are the best. (Pay a little extra to get the photos...the shots are excellent!)
The group was divided into Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It's also good for families with children. The weather was really nice, but the water temperature in December might be cold; you can get in, but it's chilly when you come out. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious! We were able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling, and it was a great experience for my child. Thank you!
日本語と英語でグループが分かれていて説明などは安心
子連れにもGOOD
天気はすごく良かったが12月の水温は冷たいかな、入れないことないが出てから寒い。ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しかった!シュノーケル中に至近距離でウミガメも見えて子供と良い体験ができました、ありがとうございました。
The crew was really searching for whales, but as is common in nature, it depends on the whales' mood, so it was disappointing not to see any. People who went on a different whale tour that same day seemed to have seen them well, which made it even more disappointing. However, the boat itself was stable and I felt safe on it, and it would have been truly amazing if we had seen whales! I hope to see them next time, and I look forward to enjoying winter in Hawaii again someday!
船員スタッフは鯨をすごく探してくれてましたが
まぁ自然界の常識でもあるように、鯨のご機嫌次第とはいえ
見れなくて残念でした。
同じ日に別の鯨ツアーに行った人はしっかり見れたらしく
余計に残念な思いです。
でも、船そのものは揺れも少なく安心して乗っていられましたし
これで鯨が見れたらほんと最高でしたね!
次回は見れることを願って、いつかまた冬のハワイを楽しみたいです!
Our family of four enjoyed day out with Capt Bob Sandbar tour. Recommend wearing swim rash guard to help retain body heat.
We set off at 10, collected promptly by the pick up service, with full Aircon, arrived at the ranch to be welcomed and checked in immediately, we had a fair bit of time before our allocated event so walked around and checked everything out, everything looked well cared for, horses looked to be in tip top condition no ribs to be seen (horse owner so important to me), food was lovely at a decent price, expected it to be expensive as it was only place to eat but no, the ATV tout was on time and awesome, Matt and David were great fun and very informative, the scenery is fantastic, the return bus arrived on time to take us back, all in all a fantastic day out, fully recommended
The ATV Raptors were Amazing!! My sons had a great time. Esther the tour guide was informative and friendly. Seeing the iconic scenes from the Jurrasic Park movies was so much fun. The stories about the island and ranch were also very insightful and allowed you to connect with the atmosphere. We will be back next year for the horseback riding and Hollywood tour.
If you've seen some Polynesian shows, you should definitely check this one out. It's casual and fun!
幾つかのポリネシアンショーを鑑賞された方は、是非鑑賞してみてはいかがでしょうか。カジュアルで楽しいですよ。
I went snorkeling in a coral reef where sea turtles come and go. A sea turtle appeared right in front of me from a hole in the reef, and I was able to swim together with it for a little while. It was an emotional experience.
ウミガメが出入りする珊瑚礁でシノーケリングをしました。珊瑚礁の穴からウミガメが目の前に出て来て少しの間一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。感動しました。
I thought I could take photos like in a guidebook, but the sandbar was underwater! It seems that it's rare for it to be in a guidebook-like condition. However, I had a great time with activities like volleyball, snorkeling, sea turtle watching, and a hamburger lunch on the boat!
ガイドブックのような写真が撮れるかと思っていましたが、サンドバーは海の中でした!
ガイドブックのような状態になるのは、稀らしいです。でもバレーボールやシュノーケリング、ウミガメウオッチ、船上ハンバガーランチなど、大変楽しむ事が出来ました!
My husband is not a strong swimmer, and Zola was patient and encouraging with him the whole time. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!
I it was beautiful. We really enjoyed the cruise. The crew and captain were great! We saw dolphins and a beautiful sunset! We would do it again!
