I was able to experience another side of Hawaii. ハワイの別の一面を体験できました

Reviewed by: ぷぅちゃん

I was the only Japanese participant. Both the guide and the participants mainly spoke English, so if you don't understand English to some extent, you might just end up following along. At first, I felt refreshed walking through the "tropical rainforest" with the sounds of birds, but it changed to a bamboo grove along the way, which didn't really feel like a "tropical rainforest." The waterfall we reached after walking for just over an hour had a thin flow, which was different from what I expected.

I think it was good to experience another side of Hawaii. However, from the 8 AM hotel pickup to the 1 PM drop-off, there was no chance to use the restroom, which was tough.

日本人参加者は私一人。ガイド、参加者ともほぼ英語オンリーで、英語をある程度理解できないと、ただ着いていくだけとなる可能性があります。最初は鳥の声が響く「熱帯雨林」を歩いて気分爽快でしたが、途中から竹林に変わり、その部分は「熱帯雨林」という感じではありませんでした。1時間強かけて歩いて到着した滝は、流れが細く、期待とは異なりました。
ハワイの別の一面を体験できたのは、良かったと思います。
8時のホテルピックアップから、13時の送りまでトイレに行くチャンスが無く、厳しかったです。

コメントありがとうございます。はい、ハワイの滝の水量は降雨に依存しています。ですので、時には流れが少なく、他の日には強い流れに注意する必要があります。この美しいプライベートハイキングを体験できたことを嬉しく思います。

Thank you for your comments. Yes, the power of our waterfalls in Hawaii depend on rainfall. So, sometimes the flow is small and other days, we need to stay clear of the powerful flow. We are happy you had a chance to experience this beautiful private hike.

I was able to observe wild poison dart frogs! 野生のマダラヤドクガエルを観察出来ました!

Reviewed by: かけさん

Two years ago, I participated in the "Manoa Falls Hiking Tour" and had a great experience, so this time I wanted to try a different tour and chose this one. In addition to wanting to enjoy the tropical rainforest, I also hoped to see the introduced and now wild Madara Yadokugaeru (poison dart frog) and Jackson's chameleon if possible.

I had some concerns about not having a Japanese guide, but I thought it would be fine and decided to join. Besides me, there was a group of three from California. The guide was a local named Terry.

When we arrived and I mentioned wanting to see the Madara Yadokugaeru and Jackson's chameleon, Terry seemed a bit surprised but said, "I think the Madara Yadokugaeru is probably here. The chameleon is around, but it's slow-moving and hard to spot."

The destination was actually near Manoa Valley, and although the route and the waterfall were different from the Manoa Falls trekking, it was quite similar. I thought this course was a bit narrower and steeper, making it more challenging, but it was by no means a difficult course.

Terry provided detailed explanations not only about the names of the plants but also their origins and the history of Hawaii's vegetation. However, since he spoke completely in native English, it might be a bit challenging to understand (^_^;)

And happily, a boy in our group found the Madara Yadokugaeru, and we were able to take pictures of it! Because I made a somewhat niche request at the beginning, both the guide and the other participants helped look for it.

There was a sense of accomplishment when we reached the waterfall, and above all, I was thrilled to finally see the poison dart frog, so I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the Jackson's chameleon, but I felt it was worth participating.

 2年前に「マノア滝ハイキングツアー」に参加してなかなか良かったので、今回は違うツアーに…と思ってこのツアーを選びました。
 熱帯雨林の自然を満喫したいというのに加えて、出来たらハワイに移入されて野生化しているマダラヤドクガエルとジャクソンカメレオンの姿を見てみたい希望もあったのです。
 日本語ガイドでないというので一抹の不安はありましたが、まあ何とかなるだろうと思って参加しました。
 僕の他にはカリフォルニアから来た母子3人組。ガイドはテリーさんと言うハワイ生まれの方でした。
 現地に着いて「マダラヤドクガエルとジャクソンカメレオンが見たい。」と言うと流石にちょっと驚いた風情でしたが、「マダラヤドクガエルは多分いると思うよ。カメレオンはいるにはいるが、動きがゆっくりしていて見つけづらいんだ。」と言ってくれました。
 目的地は実はマノア渓谷の近くで、マノア滝トレッキングとはルートも目的の滝も違うものの、よく似たコースです。今回のコースの方がちょっと狭くて勾配も強く、難易度が高いかなと思いますが、決して厳しいコースではありません。
 テリーさんは、植物の名前だけでなく、由来、更にはハワイの植生の歴史まで丁寧に説明してくれました。ただ、完全にネイティブ・イングリッシュなので、聴き取って理解するのはちょっと大変かもしれません(^_^;)
 そして、嬉しい事にマダラヤドクガエルを同行者の男の子が見つけてくれ、写真に収める事が出来たのです!
 冒頭にマニアックな発言をしたものだから、ガイドさんだけでなく、同行者も一緒になって探してくれたおかげです。
 滝に辿り着いた時の達成感もありましたし、何と言っても念願のヤドクガエルを見られたのだから、大満足です。残念ながらジャクソンカメレオンは見つけられませんでしたが、参加してよかったと思っています。

It was an adventurous hike!
But we were able to go back and forth safely.
Along the way, the guide frequently explained about the plants and animals, which was very interesting.
The explanations were in English, and there were hardly any Japanese participants, but it was a good opportunity to study English and a valuable experience for communication in English.

The pickup was about 20 minutes late, which made me a bit anxious, but when I relaxed and waited, they came and found me.

It was nice that they kindly drove us back as well!

Jeep Tour

Reviewed by: Oahu88

Our first scheduled tour was cancelled last minute for unknown reasons, but luckily we were able to reschedule for later in our vacation.
Anyways, it was pretty fun. The jeep was closed-topped and air conditioned; fairly comfortable.
Tour guide was great; laid back and flexible.
We didn't really spend much time at the Dole plantation. We didn't go to a coffee plantation, but did stop at a macadamia shop. We didn't stop at Byodo temple. We skipped lunch, but did stop at a fruit stand. We stopped at several scenic points of interest, but as expected, a lot of the time was spent getting from place to place. We did do a small hike, which I guess I might have missed that in the description as I was unprepared..bring shoes!
Decent tour if you prefer a small group (we were paired with one other couple).

Five star tour!!

Reviewed by: mblock

Photography is one of my favorite hobbies, but my skills are still limited. After participating on this tour I can say that I have finally learned how to operate my camera. Marie is an excellent guide and a very passionate photographer. She was teaching us not only about photography techniques, but also about the history and culture of Hawaii along the way.

This tour is designed for all levels of equipment and expertise, it does not matter if you are a beginner or a pro, if you have DSL camera or a phone, she has tips for everyone. She spends one on one time with each person on the tour so you can get the help that you need.
We explored beautiful beaches, hidden waterfall, lava formations and many other breathtaking locations. The van was clean, comfortable, they also provide water, umbrellas and camera tripod.

Blue Hawaii Photo Tours provided me one of the best experiences I had in the island, I highly recommend this tour to all, It was absolutely amazing!

A chance to experience a different side of Hawaii. 違ったハワイを味わえるチャンス

Reviewed by: ハワイ初心者

In January, it was too cold for adults to swim in the ocean or pool, so I joined a hiking tour.

As we progressed, the guide explained about the plants and animals in the tropical rainforest, and we ended up seeing a waterfall. I had thought Hawaii was just about the beaches, but it was great to walk through such a tropical rainforest at a distance and difficulty level that even preschoolers could manage.

I highly recommend this tour for those who are tired of the beaches in Hawaii. It might be especially good for families with children, as it's also beneficial for their English education.

Participated on October 2nd. A must-see for LOST fans. You can enjoy that bamboo grove. Walking through the bamboo thicket is interesting and addictive. The tour is all-inclusive. They provide all the necessary gear, water, and snacks. (The dried fruit and nuts are delicious. Eating them while exercising is super tasty because they're sweet and salty.) They even came to pick us up before the scheduled time. The guide was kind, cheerful, and explained everything well; he was very serious and the best. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the tropical rainforest. The view of the mountains from the Manoa residential area is also lovely. The difficulty level is adjusted to the participants' fitness, so I think there's no need to worry.

10月2日参加。LOSTファンは必見。あの竹林が堪能できます。竹やぶの中を歩いて行くのが面白くてヤミツキになりそう。ツアーは至れり尽くせり。必要な装備に水、おやつ等ばっちり。(このドライフルーツとナッツが美味しい。運動中に食べると甘くて塩からいので超〜〜美味しい。)迎えも時間前に来てくれました。ガイドは親切で陽気で説明も良く、大変真面目な方で最高でした。熱帯雨林の美しさに圧倒されました。マノアの住宅地から観る山並みも素敵です。難易度は参加者の体力に合わせてくれるので、心配無いと思います。

I wanted to experience the forest impression that stays with you later, so I decided to join this tour in Hawaii by myself. The other Japanese-language tours didn't fit my schedule, so I joined this English one alone. They provided everyone with rubber boots. When asked what size I wear, I said 8, which fit perfectly (I wear 24 cm). They also allowed exchanges. There were some muddy areas, but since it was a stream over hard volcanic rock, walking was easy. I crossed the stream a few times and it reminded me of my childhood, splashing my feet in the water. Since I was wearing rubber boots, it was no problem. At the end, we took commemorative photos at Mano Falls. Although the tour was in English, the guide was also good at Japanese. The Aussie group with me ended up with muddy bottoms from the mud. I wonder why? Maybe everyone else was fine. It was a lot of fun. I also got to experience the aroma of the coffee forest.

海外では後になって森の印象が残るので、ハワイでも行ってみたくて一人参加しました。ほかの日本語版ツアーは時間が合わず、英語版のこちらに一人参加になりました。長靴を全員に貸してくれました。何インチといわれ8と答えジャスト(私は24cm)すこし大きめでいいみたい。交換もききました。ぬかるみもあったけど、火山の硬い岩のうえの渓流なので、歩くのは簡単でした。数回小川をまたいだけど、こどものころを思い出し水の中に足を突っ込んでちゃぷちゃぷと。長靴なので平気。最後にマノウの滝で記念撮影でした。英語だけどガイドさんが日本語もじょうずでした。いっしょのオージーのグループはぬかるみでおしりがどろだらけでした。なんでかなあ?たぶん、みんな普通はだいじょうぶ。楽しかったですよ。コーヒーの森のかおりも経験できました。

Ohana Tropical Rainforest Hiking オハナ熱帯雨林ハイキング

Reviewed by: abb

On the day of the tour, there were about 15 people in the group, and we were the only Japanese participants. The location was accessed from quite a distance before the usual entrance to the Manoa Falls hike. I was a bit worried because the tour reviews mentioned walking silently like in military training, but in reality, we progressed at a comfortable pace that matched the participants, and the guide provided very detailed explanations about Hawaii's nature and wildlife at various points, which was truly enjoyable☆☆

We walked near a stream to reach the waterfall, so the sound of the water was soothing, and I felt relaxed by the sounds of birds and the wind. This route is different from the Manoa Falls hike, and the waterfall at the end is also different. On the way back, we returned through a bamboo grove. Since there are muddy areas and we crossed a river, I recommend borrowing rubber boots at the beginning. It felt a bit adventurous and was a lot of fun! With rubber boots, you can proceed without worrying about water or mud.

The tour is not specifically for Japanese speakers, and the guide does not speak Japanese, so I think having some English skills would enhance the experience. However, since this hike goes through private land and is a route you can't access on the usual Manoa course, I highly recommend it for those who love Hawaii's nature. It is truly healing and a lot of fun!

I think you'll enjoy communicating with various participants as you climb together! I definitely want to participate again next time♪

当日は大体15人ぐらいのグループで、日本人は私たちだけでした。
場所は通常マノアフォールハイキングに行く入口よりかなり手前からマノアに入ります。ツアーの体験談に軍隊の訓練のように黙々と歩くと書いてあったので、少し心配でしたが、実際はツアーの参加者のペースに合わせて無理なく進み、所々でガイドさんがとても丁寧にハワイの自然や動物について説明してくれて本当に楽しかったです☆☆
また、小川の近くを歩いて滝まで行くので、水の音が心地よく、鳥や風の音にも癒されました。
マノアフォールハイキングとは違うコースで、ゴールの滝も違いますし、帰り道は竹林を戻りました。ぬかるんでいる所や、川を渡ったりするので、始めに長靴を借りる事をオススメします。少し冒険みたいな感じですごく楽しかったです!長靴だと水や泥も気にせずどんどん進めます。
ツアーは日本人向けではなく、ガイドさんも日本語は話せないので、ある程度英語が出来たほうが楽しめるとは思いますが、私有地を行くハイキングで、マノアの通常のコースとは違い自分では行けないコースなので、ハワイの自然が大好きという方には是非オススメしたいです。本当に癒されます、そしてすごく楽しい!
ツアーの参加者と協力しながら登ると思うので、いろんな方とコミュニケーションが出来て楽しいですよ!
次回もまた是非参加したいです♪

I participated in the English tour with a bit of excitement. There were two Japanese women and about eight people from English-speaking countries, and despite my limited English, we were able to communicate and enjoy trekking together.

We climbed through a bamboo-like area near Manoa, but since Manoa has one of the highest rainfall levels in Oahu, the ground is often muddy, and we crossed a small stream along the way, so I definitely recommend borrowing rubber boots. This tour is almost 100% in English, so it's great for those who really love trekking and find Diamond Head too easy! However, for those who are anxious about their English skills, it might take a bit of courage to join.

Also, I noticed that arriving about 30 minutes late is something typical for English tours. If you don't have that kind of flexibility, you might find it frustrating at first.

英語ツアーということで、少しドキドキしながら参加しましたが、日本人の女性の方が2人と、あとは英語圏の方8人くらいで、英語ができないなりにもコミュニケーションをとりつつ楽しくトレッキングできました。
マノア近くの竹林的なところを黙々と登っていくのですが、マノア周辺はオアフの中でも降水量が多いところなので、地面はぬかるんでいるところが多く、途中小川も渡ったりするので、長靴は絶対借りたほうがいいと思います。ほぼ100%英語のツアーなので、本当にトレッキングが好きで、ダイヤモンドヘッドでは物足りない!!という方にはお勧めですが、英語の不安のある方はちょっと参加するのに勇気がいるような気がします。
あと、集合時間に30分くらい遅れてくるのも、英語ツアーならではなのかなぁと思いました。それくらい寛大さがないと、最初イライラするかもしれませんね

We did the hike-only portion up to a waterwall. Beautiful rainforest hike on the way up, and impressively thick bamboo forest on the way back down. We appreciated that bug spray, water, and snacks were provided. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with the occasional extra time it took our 6-year old daughter to navigate some slippery and steep areas. Bike Hawaii was understanding and flexible with us when we accidentally started on the wrong activity, and easily re-scheduled us to another day so we could enjoy the activity we meant to attend. I'm sure we will use their business again when we return to Oahu.

Sidenote: our transportation back to the hotel was a 6-seater vehicle, with 7 intended passengers. Much Thanks to the cab driver who insisted that it was not safe for me to simply "hold my daughter on my lap" for the return ride! I totally agree.

The plan involved walking through a private church property in rubber boots. As I walked, I thought it felt like the Japanese military's Imphal operation. After walking for several minutes, we arrived at a waterfall, and shortly after that, we turned back. There was little explanation provided. I feel that last year's plan with the Japanese guide was much more enjoyable. I can't really recommend this one.

昨年は日本人ガイドでのハイキングを楽しみ、ことしも日本人ガイドの別プランを申し込んだのですが、あいにく満員でした。止む無く、このプランを利用しましたが、お迎え時刻になっても現れず、かなりの遅刻での登場でした。遅刻の言い訳もなしに現地へ。教会の私有地のヌカルミを長靴をはいてもくもくと歩くプランでした。日本軍のインパール作戦みたいだなと思いながら歩くこと数十分。滝に到着し、しばらくしてからU-ターンという流れでした。解説は少なめ。やはり、去年の日本人ガイドのプランのほうが随分と楽しかった気がします。あまり、お勧めできません。
