オアフ島　熱帯雨林ハイキング　初心者～中級者向け ＜英語ガイド＞

tropical rainforest 熱帯雨林

Reviewed by: ゆきんこ

It was a jungle hike.
We crossed a small stream and went through a bamboo grove.
We climbed muddy areas and steep slopes.
I thought it might be tough for small children and elderly people.
I got bitten by a lot of mosquitoes.
The guide provided water, cookies, insect repellent spray, and a small pouch.
There are no restrooms, so we were told to go in the mountains.
In addition to my friend and me, there were six other participants, all from the mainland United States.
The entire tour was in English.
It was a valuable experience.

ジャングルハイキングでした。
小川を渡ったり竹やぶを通ったりしました。
ぬかるんだ場所や急な坂を上ったりしました。
小さなお子さんやご年配の方には厳しいかと思いました。
たくさん蚊にさされました。
水、クッキー、虫除けスプレー、小物入れポーチはガイドさんが用意してくれます。
お手洗いはありませんので、山の中でどうぞと言われました。
私と友人の他に6人参加していましたが、
皆さんアメリカ本土からの方でした。
すべて英語でのツアーです。
貴重な体験でした。

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。

This is the only way to do a Circle Island tour!!!

Reviewed by: Emmii68

I have previously done a Circle Island tour on a "big bus" with lots of other people, and I can say with absolute confidence and conviction that a customised tour is the only way to go!! We saw exactly what we wanted to see; stayed as long as we wanted to stay; and had lunch where we chose (North Shore Food Trucks). Moe, our driver, was fantastic: we mapped out the day with what we wanted to see and he made sure we got to see everything we wanted to. Moe was polite, courteous (opening and closing car doors), informative, friendly, chatty and had plenty of cold bottled on hand for us throughout the day. Highly recommend.

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。

If I had it to do over....

Reviewed by: Lil

We had two days and one night in Oahu. We mainly went to see Pearl Harbor. Decided the best use of our time was a customized circle island tour. Pros - on time, clean van, pleasant driver. Cons - Spent the first 15 minutes debating whether or not we had paid for a full day tour vs half day. Resolved. In advance, we reviewed the standard circle island tours offered, researched each stop, made a list of what was of most interest to us and presented that to the driver when he asked what we wanted to see. He interjected his opinion (and I think preferences), skipped over things we wanted to see, somewhat criticized our choices by saying the Byodo-In Temple was a tourist trap, wasted our time on a hike to see a waterfall at a garden and then insisted we needed to stay on time and had us turn around about 5 minutes from reaching the waterfall to leave. In hind sight, we should have just walked the streets of Waikiki. Probably could have gotten a better tour out of a taxi service.

Adventure! 冒険！

Reviewed by: ykuchi

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!

冒険のようなハイキングでした！
でも安全に行き帰りすることができました
途中、たびたびガイドさんが植物や動物について説明してくれて、興味深かったです。
英語での説明で、参加者もほとんど日本人はいませんが、英語の勉強にもなるし、英語でのコミュニケーションも良い経験になりました。

お迎えは予定より20分遅れくらいでちょっとハラハラしましたが、
のんびり待ってたらちゃんと来て探してくれました。

帰りも親切に送ってくれて良かったです！

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.
