Customised Tour around Island

Reviewed by: B Robinson

Had a Great day. Didn't know what to expect but put our hands in Bob's expertise and he took us to some amazing places that we wouldn't normally have seen. We wanted to try some Hula pie and he found out where we could get some. He even had cold water for us to drink. By the end of the trip he knew us all by name.

Reviewed by: HIRANO

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。

The aunt was more agile than the Aussie. おばちゃんはオージーよりも足が達者でした

Reviewed by: 50代のおばちゃん

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。

Circle island tour

Reviewed by: Drnino

We had one entire day in Honolulu and wanted to see as much as we could so decided to take the private limo tour of the island. Mark was our driver and did an excellent job. He went to get us tickets for Pearl Harbor ahead of time so we did not have to wait. He customized the tour to our wishes and took us to places that avoided a lot of the tourists. This tour was much more enjoyable than any bus tour we have taken before.

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 recommend it for trekking enthusiasts. トレッキング好きにおすすめです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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

Highly recommended

Reviewed by: Mamacita

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.

Having a Japanese guide is definitely more enjoyable. やはり日本人ガイドの方が楽しい

Reviewed by: QQQ

Last year, I enjoyed hiking with a Japanese guide, and I signed up for a different plan with a Japanese guide this year, but unfortunately, it was fully booked. Reluctantly, I used this plan, but the guide did not show up at the pickup time and arrived quite late. There was no excuse for the tardiness upon arrival. 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。

It was such a beautiful experience to walk through a lush tropical rain forest. The hike was not strenuous, which allowed me to take in all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the rain forest. The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike. This is where we took a break and had plenty of photo opportunities. The pictures we took were so beautiful they could probably be used for a post card picture.

Secret hiking? 秘密のハイキング？

Reviewed by: nori

I recommend this for those who have visited Manoa Falls as mentioned in the guidebook and felt they could walk more or want a bit more adventure!

There were seven participants, including myself. Three were solo travelers, one couple, and one married couple, all from the mainland United States. The guide primarily spoke English but also shared a little bit of Japanese. I think even those who don't understand English at all will be fine. Rather, we were walking quite a bit, so there wasn't much opportunity for conversation during the hike.

It felt more like trekking off the beaten path than I expected, so I think it's better to wear trekking shoes or change into borrowed rubber boots. I went in short sleeves and shorts, but even with insect repellent, I still got bitten (the swelling went down quickly♪), so I recommend long pants for those who are prone to mosquito bites. As for belongings, everything was fine as listed.

ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです！

参加者は私を含め７名でした。一人参加が３名、カップル１組、ご夫婦１組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。

思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖＆ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので（すぐ腫れは引きました♪）、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

The waterfall... 滝が・・・

Reviewed by: たぬちん

Although it was an English-only tour, I participated alone. I was the only Japanese person, and there were about ten travelers from the mainland United States.

As we made our way to the waterfall, we received very detailed explanations about the trees and other aspects of the rainforest. Along the way, we had to jump over rivers and navigate difficult terrain, which required everyone to help each other out and cooperate. It might be tough if you can't communicate in English to some extent.

The water at the destination waterfall was disappointingly low, which was the only letdown. However, the staff was very kind, and a sense of camaraderie developed among the participants. Overall, I thought it was an interesting tour.

英語のみのツアーと言うことでしたが、１人で参加しました。日本人は私だけ、あとはアメリカ本土からの旅行者が10人くらい。
熱帯雨林の中を木々などの説明をとても詳しく受けながら、滝を目指すのですが、途中川を飛び越えたり、足場が悪かったりと参加者みんなが助け合い、それぞれの協力が必要です。ある程度英語で意思の疎通ができないとつらいかもしれません。
目的地の滝の水が切ないほど少なく、それだけが期待はずれでしたが、スタッフはとても親切だし、参加者の連帯感などが生まれ、おもしろいツアーだと思いました。

It's a paradise for nature lovers!! 自然大好きにはたまりませんよ！！

Reviewed by: てん

I participated alone on August 25th. I was a bit anxious about the English guide, but even if you can't speak English, people who love nature can quickly bond. There were seven participants, and aside from me, everyone was from abroad, but we were considerate of each other and realized that communication is not just about words! I was worried because there were no previous reviews, but the hotel pick-up was on time, and even though I was waiting at a different location, they came to find me. It is required to wear long pants, but as long as you have pants that go down to just below the knee and socks, you'll be fine. You'll also wear rubber boots, so make sure to declare your shoe size in advance; even if it doesn't fit, there are extra shoes available, so you can wear something that fits you. They also prepare insect repellent spray, and the itinerary allows you to enjoy various trees and scenery, which is fantastic. Above all, the fact that "there are no snakes" is wonderful! The path to the waterfall makes you sweat just enough to feel good. The nuts and dried fruits provided are delicious. The waterfall isn't very big, but it's a secret view that only those who participate in this tour can see. What impressed me even more was the way back. As we descended carefully through the green bamboo, the sounds of different plants and animals compared to when we climbed up soothed my heart. It was truly eco-trekking. Since it's a tropical rainforest, it does rain, but the trees provide enough cover that the raincoat I brought was completely unnecessary. Other participants got their bottoms dirty, but in the end, we could wash off in a stream, so it's all good. The difficulty level is about climbing a mountain of around 200 meters. They adjust to our pace, so everyone should definitely participate!

　８月25日に一人で参加しました。英語ガイドということで不安でしたが、英語がしゃべれなくても自然を愛する人たちはすぐにうちとけられます。参加者は７名で私以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、お互いを気遣いコミュニケーションは言葉だけではないと痛感しました！！書き込みが１件もなかったので不安でしたが、ホテルの送迎も時間どおりだし別の場所で待っていたのですがわざわざ探しに来てくれました。長ズボン着用となっていますが膝したくらいのズボンと靴下を用意すれば大丈夫です。また、長靴を履きますので足のサイズは事前に申告し、サイズがあわなくても余分な靴があるので自分にあうものを履けます。虫除けスプレーも準備してくれていますし、行程はさまざまな樹木や景色を楽しむことができて最高です。なにしろ、「蛇がいない」ことが素晴らしい！滝までの道はほどよく汗をかいて気持いいですよ。また用意されたナッツやドライフルーツがおいしい。滝は大きいものではないですが、このツアーに参加した人だけしか見ることができない秘密の景色です。あとさらに感動したのが、帰りの道です。グリーンバンブーの中を滑らないように降りていくのですが、登るときとは違う植物や動物たちの声が心をスーッとさせてくれます。本当にエコトレッキングでした。
熱帯雨林なので雨が降りますが、用意したレインコートも全く必要がないくらい木々が傘になります。他の参加者はずべってお尻が汚れたりしましたが、最後に小川に入ってきれいに洗えるので大丈夫ですよ。きつさは、２００メートルくらいの山に登る程度です。私たちのペースにあわせてくれますので、みなさんどんどん参加してみましょう。
