Oahu
I was shocked by the self-centered way of entertaining. This was the only tour during my stay in Hawaii that left me feeling unpleasant. Even though we were thanked at the end, the atmosphere in the vehicle was so quiet.
Everything about it was tedious, filled with sarcasm and unnecessary details, and the overall vibe of the tour (inside the vehicle) was far from pleasant.
This was my sixth time in Hawaii, but it was the first time I felt this way during any of the many optional activities I participated in. The only good thing was that I was able to go horseback riding in nice weather.
独りよがりの楽しませ方に愕然。今回のハワイ滞在で唯一嫌な気持ちになったツアーでした。最後はありがとうございましたの挨拶はされていながらも、シーンと車内もするほどでした。
すべてにおいて、ねちねちねちねち、ことごとく、嫌味の連続、うんちく、雰囲気はとてもいいものとはいえないツアー（車内）でした。
ハワイは6回目でしたが、多々参加するオプションでこんな嫌な気持ちになったのは初めてでした。
良かったのは天気の中、乗馬ができたことだけでした。

We participated for the first time in 17 years since our honeymoon, this time with our children, on a trip to Hawaii.
The tour took almost a whole day, exploring Hawaii's nature, culture, and movie filming locations.
In the morning, the first part of the tour was led by a woman tour guide who spoke Japanese well and explained the native plants of Hawaii in detail. She took us around various places, teaching us about food and culture.
The second part mainly focused on movie filming locations. We visited famous spots from Jurassic Park, Jumanji, and King Kong, making us feel like we were inside the movies.
For lunch, we enjoyed a buffet and ate until we were full. It was very delicious.
The afternoon tour was about Hawaii's ancient civilization and ruins, and since the guide spoke English, I could hardly understand what was being said. However, there were explanation signs with photos at each location, so I was able to understand visually.
My son loves Jurassic Park, so it turned out to be a fantastic day for both adults and children.
新婚旅行以来１７年ぶりに子供たちと家族４人で行ったハワイで初めて
参加しました。
ほぼ１日かけてハワイの自然や文化、そして映画の撮影がされた
場所めぐりのツアーでした。
午前の一つ目はハワイに自生する植物を日本語の上手な女性の
ツアーガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれました。
色々な所を廻って食べ物や文化について教えてくれました。
２つ目は主に映画の撮影場所巡りでした。
ジュラシックパークやジュマンジ、キングコングなどどれも有名で
映画の中に入っているような気分に浸れます。
ランチはバイキング形式でお腹いっぱい沢山食べました。
とてもおいしかったです。
昼からのツアーはハワイの古代文明や遺跡などを回るツアーで
担当ガイドさんが英語だったのでほぼ何を言っているのか
解りませんでしたが、各場所に写真付きの説明看板が立っており
目で見て理解はできました。
息子はクラシックパークが大好きなので大人も子供も
最高な一日になりました。

I booked and participated in six activities during this trip, but the Polynesian Cultural Center was the best! The bus guide, Maki, was really funny, and despite the long travel time, no one fell asleep. The local Japanese student guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very dedicated, which was great. One day wasn't enough, so I definitely want to participate again next time.
今回の旅行で６つのアクティビティを予約し参加しましたが、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは一番良かったです！
バスのガイドさんのまきさんは凄く面白く、長い時間の移動にも関わらず、誰一人寝ていなかった。
ポリネシアも現地の日本人学生のガイドが一生懸命さが伝わり凄く良かったです。
一日の滞在では足らないくらいでしたので次回も是非参加したいと思います。

I participated for the first time, and it was better than I expected.
It was a movie location, and I particularly enjoyed the filming site of Jurassic World.
I didn't have high expectations for lunch from the start, so I wasn't dissatisfied at all.
I would like to participate again!
初めて参加しましたが、思っていたよりも良かったです。
映画のロケ地で、特にジュラシックワールドの撮影地が映画通りで良かったです。
昼食は最初から期待していなかったので、別に不満もありませんでした。
又、参加したいです！

Departure is around 7:00 AM. At the pickup location, you will receive a color-coded wristband for each tour, making it easy to identify which tour you have signed up for. You will also receive a schedule that clearly indicates what time to participate in each activity. There will be signs at the location with the names of each activity, so make sure to gather there before the time indicated on your schedule.
The movie location tour had a bright, cheerful, and adorable female guide who spoke Japanese. All the participants were Japanese, and the guide's stories were entertaining, making it a lot of fun. The breathtaking scenery was truly moving! If you've seen the movie, you will definitely be even more excited!
The jungle exploration tour had about 20 participants, both foreigners and Japanese, in one vehicle. The guide spoke only English, so I couldn't understand most of the content, but it was amazing to see beautiful scenery while driving off-road!
The Taste of Kualoa tour had a Japanese guide, and all the participants were Japanese as well. We got to see fruits and plants that you can't find in Japan, and there were tastings. It was a fun experience that you don't get to have often!
Kualoa Ranch is in the mountains, and the weather can change quickly. This time, it went from a downpour to clear and hot weather. It's a good idea to bring a towel and a folding umbrella just in case! It's definitely worth a visit!
朝7:00頃の出発です。
ピックアップ場所で、どのツアーを申し込んでいるか分かるように、ツアーごとに色分けされたリストバンドをつけてもらいます。
何時にどのアクティビティに参加するか書いてある予定表をもらえるのでとても分かりやすいです。
現地ではそれぞれのアクティビティの名前が書いてある看板があるので、予定表に書いてある時間より前にそこに集合します。
映画ロケ地ツアーは、日本語が話せる明るく元気で可愛らしい女性のガイドさんでした。ツアー参加者も全員日本人で、ガイドさんの話もおもしろくてとても楽しかったです。圧巻の景色で感動しました！映画を見たことある人ならさらに大興奮間違いなしです！
ジャングル探検ツアーは、外国の方と日本人20人弱で一台の車に乗ります。ガイドさんは英語のみだったので、内容はほとんど分からなかったですが、オフロードを思いっきり走りながらいい景色を見れて最高でした！
テイストオブクアロアツアー、こちらは日本人のガイドの方でツアー参加者も全員日本人でした。日本では見られないフルーツや植物を見たり、試食があったり。なかなかできない経験ができ楽しかったです！
クアロアランチは山で、天気が変わりやすく、今回もスコールが来たと思ったら快晴で暑くなったりしました。タオルと折り畳み傘は念のため持って行ったほうがいいです！
行ってみる価値は十二分にあります！！

I was disappointed that I couldn't get off the bus even though I went all the way to the North Shore. It was also a letdown that both meals were at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I had intended to see the whole island, but it felt one-sided, and I felt like I missed out.
せっかくノースショアまで行ったりしているのに、バスから降りれず、残念なおもいをしました。
食事は2回ともポリネシアン文化センターだったのも残念ポイント。
島全体をみれるつもりが、偏っていて、損した気分になりました。

Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!
Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!
This is my second time, and it was absolutely amazing. Whenever I come to Hawaii, I will definitely come to see the Chief Luau show. I also introduced it to my friends, and they said it was fun. This time, I reserved a VIP seat, which made it even better. I look forward to next time!
今回で2回目 最高に面白かった ハワイに来た時は必ずチーフルアーショー見に来ます お友達にも紹介しました 楽しいと言ってました 今回はVIP席に予約して更に良かった 次回もt

It felt like I was inside a movie! I'm glad I had a great experience!
One downside was that I didn't quite understand the initial explanation, and when I asked for clarification, it seemed like the male guide who spoke Japanese explained it very reluctantly. It was disappointing to encounter an unfriendly person.
Other than that, it was great that they explained things in a fun way, mixing in jokes in both English and Japanese.
映画の中に入ったみたいでした！
良い体験でき良かったです！
少し残念なのが、最初の説明がよく解らなかったので、聞き直したら凄くめんどくさそうに説明されました、日本語が出来る男性ガイドで不親切な人がいたのが残念でした♂️
その他は英語でも、日本語でもジョークをまじえて楽しく説明してくれているのが、伝わって来て良かったです(^^)

I studied various Polynesian cultures and dances thoroughly. It's a place where you can spend the whole day experiencing it. Alcohol is not available.
充分いろいろなポリネシアの文化とダンスを勉強しました。体験もでき一日中過ごせる場所です。アルコールが飲めないです。

Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.
Hi Lucinda,
THANKS! for your 5 star review:) Everyone at Oahu Nature Tours is very grateful.
All the Best,
Michael
The guide shared stories about Hawaii and gave us a horseback riding lecture during the drive, which made the travel feel quick. The Dole pineapple soft serve was a good portion, and sharing one between two people was just right. It was refreshing and delicious. The garlic shrimp was also plump and tasty. Riding along the coast and through the forest was very pleasant. It was great that we could take photos as well. I'm glad I participated.
ガイドさんが車内でハワイに関する話や、乗馬レクチャーをしてくださったので、移動も早く感じました。
ドールのパイナップルソフトは量があり、2人で1個買って丁度よかったです。さっぱりしていて美味しかったです。
ガーリックシュリンプもプリプリで美味しかったです。
乗馬も海沿いや林の中を気持ちよく歩けました。写真を撮ってもらえたのもよかったです。
参加してよかったです。

Since it was the last season in April, I expected it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. Perhaps feeling sorry for us, we were able to see the spout of a whale during our stopover, although it was quite far away.
4月の参加でシーズン最後だったので、予想はしてましたが、残念なからくじらを見ることはできませんでした。
そんな私たちを哀れに思ったのか、寄港する途中でくじらの潮吹いたところだけ見せてくれました。かなり遠かったけど。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

We had a great driver, he was awesome, very friendly, really informative and very punctual . Was a great service and made our life easy getting to Diamond Head and back to our Hotel
This was my first time participating. It's a place I've always wanted to visit, but somehow I never had the chance to go.
This area can be visited individually, but I definitely recommend going on a guided tour. They provide necessary items (disposable raincoats, waist pouches, walking sticks, water, snack bars, etc.), and they explain various things during the drive and while trekking.
The guide this time primarily spoke English, but occasionally included some Japanese, so it was never boring.
Even if it's sunny in Waikiki, it can be raining just a short 20-minute distance away. Sneakers are a must for your feet.
I want to go again.
今回初めて参加しました。ずっと行きたかった場所ですが、なんだか行くチャンスがなかったんです。
ここは個人でも訪問することが可能なエリアですが、是非ガイド付きのツアーで行くことをお勧めします。必要なグッズ（ディスポのレインコートや、ウエストポーチ、杖、水、スナックバー等）は準備していただけますし、車中、トレッキング最中も、いろいろ説明してくれます。
今回のガイドさんは基本は英語オンリーですが、たまに日本語もはさんでくれたり、、とにかく飽きさせません。
ワイキキは晴れていても、わずか20分程度離れた距離でも雨がふっていたりします。足元はスニーカーは必須です。
また行きたいな。

I was looking forward to showing the children the whales, but we couldn't see any at all, and it turned into just a regular cruise.
くじらを子供たちに見せてあげられるかと楽しみにしておりましたが、全く見ることができず、単なるクルーズになってしまいました。

I participated in a whale watching tour that included breakfast. The boat was larger than I expected, which made for a comfortable experience. I was thrilled to spot a whale spouting water! I was also satisfied to see it raise its tail. I want to go again!

This event was outstanding - an excellent way to see so many of the major sites on the island and experience all the Polynesian Cultural Center has to offer. The tour guide was exceptional- providing a lot of interesting information about the various places we visited. Our stops were just the right amount of time to allow us to take pictures and explore a little. My personal favorite was Hanauma Bay - such a beautiful view. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see when you visit the island - such interesting and lesser known facts about the history of the Center - and an outstanding luau and show.
The food was very good. You get about 30 mins between the food and show to go to the top and see the sunset. Good spot for pictures. Then you come back down for dessert and a show, the show was okay. After that they have dancing you dont have to participate if you do not want to. You can pay for additional drinks.
You are pretty much just paying for a ride there. It is a very pretty hike, I would make sure to wear shoes with traction as it does get pretty slippery towards the top. Q lot of good picture spots.
The riding style was Western. My 5-year-old and 8-year-old children also rode solo, and we walked through the canyon for a little over an hour. The horse was said to be a retired polo horse, and it was very impressive and smart. There were muddy paths along the way, and the ups and downs were thrilling. The view from the top was amazing.
乗馬スタイルは、ウエスタンです。5歳と8歳の子供も１人乗りで、1時間ちょっと渓谷を歩きました。ポロ競技を引退した馬だそうで、とても立派で賢い馬でした。途中道がぬかるんでいたり、アップダウンもありドキドキでした。頂上からの景色が最高でした。

It was the ultimate luxury to take a leisurely walk while enjoying the adorable horse and the wonderful scenery. When I pulled the reins, the horse seemed a bit grumpy, which was also honest and cute.
The guide was very kind and had interesting stories, and we quickly reached the North Shore. The garlic shrimp was even more delicious than I had imagined.
Thank you for the unforgettable experience that words cannot express.
とても可愛い馬(私はニオイでした♪♪)と素晴らしい景色を眺めながらのんびり散歩するのは最高の贅沢でした。手網を引くと、ちょっと機嫌が悪そうにする所も素直で可愛かったです。
ガイドさんもとても親切で、お話も面白くて、あっという間にノースショアまでたどり着きました。ガーリックシュリンプも想像以上の美味しさでした。
言葉では言い表せないほどの感動をありがとうございました。

From the greeters to the servers to the Chief himself, everyone treated us like we were a part of the family. It felt like a big family reunion.
The food was delicious, and even if you're vegetarian or vegan like me, there are plenty of options! I had a mountain of food on my plate and didn't leave hungry.
The entertainment was my favorite part. Talented hula and warrior dancers performed traditional dances from various regions of Polynesia. So it was both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this luau!
Two filming locations
It was a plan for tasting and lunch!
We were able to see everything at the two filming locations,
and I recommend visiting these two spots for fans of Jurassic World!
The first and second guides spoke Japanese, so I could understand the content well,
but the last tour was in English, so I didn't understand anything at all! (laughs)
The lunch was quite junky! (laughs)
Since we drove through the forest,
the dust was really something! (^^;)
After the tour ended,
when I wiped my face, it was completely black! (laughs)
I think this tour is recommended for movie lovers!

I was able to see the dorsal fin and tail fin for just a moment! It took a lot of patience to catch a glimpse of the whale pod.

As soon as we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which made me think we were off to a good start. However, after that, we didn't see anything and it ended there. Given the high expectations, it was disappointing not to see any whales, and the experience ended up being boring. Additionally, since we didn't see any whales, we were given tickets that could be used during the season starting the next day, but I felt there were high hurdles, such as the fact that the tickets were only valid until January of the following year and that reservations could only be made by phone (likely in English), with no option for online booking. I think it would be better if there were options like receiving a gift (such as a whale plush toy) or a re-ticket if nothing is seen.
出発早々、イルカの群れが見えて、幸先良いかと思いましたが、その後、何も見えず、終了しました。期待が高かった分、クジラが見えなかったため、つまらなく終わりました。また、クジラが見えなかったため、翌日からシーズン内で利用できるチケットをもらいましたが、翌日から年1月までであること、電話(おそらく英語)での予約のみでwebでの予約が出来ないなどハードルが高いと感じました。見れない場合、プレゼント(例えばクジラのぬいぐるみなど)か再チケットかを選べるなどあると良いと思います。

We gathered quite early, and after boarding, we had to wait for over 30 minutes, which was tough with kids. However, we were happy to see a large group of dolphins right after we set sail, although we didn't spot any whales. I really appreciated how hard the captain worked to take us around and how the crew was considerate towards the children; it felt very thoughtful. After disembarking, the return journey was smooth, but I thought it would have been nice to have a little time for shopping.
随分早めの集合なのか、乗船してからぼんやり待つ時間30分以上でした。子連れには辛いですが、、出航してすぐにイルカの大群が見れてハッピーでしたが鯨みえず。
でも船長さんがかなり頑張ってあちこち飛ばしてくれたり船員の方が子供に気遣いしてくれているのはすごくわかり良心的だと思いました。
降りてからはさくさく帰路なんですがちょいとショッピングの時間が取れてもよいかもと思いました。

This was a great tour! The driver was very good & had a lot of knowledge about the island! We stopped at a Macadamia nut farm & we didn’t even know that it was a scheduled stop! It was pretty cool! We snorkeled & went kayaking as well! They were all exciting activities! You definitely don’t want to rush the experience!
