All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

I thought it would be lucky if I could see a whale, but about an hour after boarding, I encountered a mother and baby whale! I even got to see them jump, and they came quite close, which was incredibly exciting.
I also had the opportunity to experience cultural activities like making leis and playing the ukulele, and I was able to participate in two or three of them as time allowed!

クジラが見れたらラッキーだな、くらいの気持ちでいましたが乗船から一時間くらいでくじらの親子に会えました！ジャンプもみられ、かなり近くにクジラがきてくれて大興奮でした。
カルチャー体験もレイ作りやウクレレ、フラ時間の許す限り２個３個と体験させてもらえました！

It was a pleasant cruise with great weather. Everyone on the deck was thrilled when a mother and baby whale spouted together! On the way back, a pod of dolphins appeared and put on an impressive spin show. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and I think it was enjoyable as a cruise even if we hadn't seen any whales.

天気もよく気持ちよいクルーズでした。クジラの親子がそろって潮吹きしたのでデッキのみんなは大興奮！
帰路にはイルカの群れが現れ、派手なスピンを見せてくれました。
朝食バイキングもおいしく、たとえクジラが見られなかったとしてもクルーズとして楽しめる内容だと思いました。

Our driver was prompt and very friendly. The hike itself was not as touristy as Diamond Head and very beautiful.

When we first got on our tour and the guide introduced himself I didn't hold out much hope of learning anything from someone who said they had only lived in Hawaii for 3 years but Steve turned out to be a fountain of knowledge. He made the day an extremely enjoyable one, so much information given and funny too. he should also release his soundtrack to the Circle Tour, he had a song for every stop it was awesome! My only criticism would be too many beach photo stops not enough time at Waimea Waterfall and Dole Plantation.

We participated in this tour at the request of my son, who loves dinosaur movies. The weather was great, and our whole family was overwhelmed by the scale of Hawaii's natural beauty (laughs). It was advertised as an English tour, but perhaps because there were many Japanese guests, the guide worked hard to explain everything in Japanese. I think it was very good for the kids.

The movie location tour was great, as we could see the actual filming site on the day. The jungle exploration involved bouncing along rough roads in a jeep bus. To be honest, I dozed off a bit during the final tour due to fatigue, but overall, it was a highly satisfying tour. We were able to feel the depth of Hawaii beyond just the ocean!

恐竜映画好きの息子のリクエストでこのツアーに参加。
天気も良くてハワイの大自然のスケールに家族一同圧倒されました（笑）
英語ツアーと書かれていましたが、日本人客が多かったためか、ガイドさんは日本語で一生懸命説明してくれました。子供たちにはとても良かったと思います。
映画ロケ地巡りはまさに当日撮影している現場も見ることができて良かった。
ジャングル探検は悪路をジープバスで揺れながら突き進む。最後の園内ツアーは正直それまでの疲労で少し眠ってしまいましたが、それでも満足度の高いツアーでした。
海だけでないハワイの奥深さを感じられました～

As a result, we didn't see any whales, but we did see dolphins! On the day of our reservation, I mistakenly went to the wrong bus stop, but they kindly allowed us to change to the next day. The staff were friendly, and although we didn't see any whales, we were satisfied with seeing the dolphins!

結果、クジラは見えませんでした。イルカは見れました！予約した当日、バス乗り場を間違えましたが快く次の日に変更してくれました。スタッフの方も新鮮で、クジラは見れませんでしたがいるかは見れて満足です！

The children had an experience. They said it was exciting and very fun to cross the canyon. They also mentioned that the horses were well-trained, which made them feel safe.

子どもたちが体験しました。渓谷を渡るのがエキサイティングでとても楽しかったようです。馬もよく慣れていて、安心だったといっていました。

The boat was a little bit too crowded, but the dinner experience and the view of Waikiki were great.

It was a plan that included transportation and a cruise. As long as you are at the meeting place on time, you can relax and enjoy the convenience of being taken care of, which is priceless.

There was breakfast included, but since the weather was nice right after departure, everyone went out to the deck to enjoy themselves, so I was glad I didn’t add that option.

As for the whales, I was able to see a few spouting water and their dorsal fins. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to see more whales playing around.

The tour itself was very good, but since I didn’t get to see the whales as I had hoped, I rated it as good. I would like to participate again.

送迎とクルーズ付きプランでした
時間通り、集合場所にいればあとは連れて行ってもらえるので、お金には変えられない安心とラク、便利さでした。
朝食付きもありましたが、出航してすぐ天気良かったので皆、デッキへ出てそれぞれ楽しんでいたので付けなくて良かったな、と思いました。

肝心のクジラは、潮を吹いてる所と背びれを数頭見ることができました。
欲を言えばもう少し多くのクジラと遊んでいる姿を見たかったです

ツアー自体はとても良かったですが、自分の中で思ったようなクジラを見ることができなかったので、よかったの評価にしました
また参加したいと思います

I had a wonderful time on the cruise ship. Crab and steak are my favorite foods, but my most memorable experience was with my tour bus driver, Lola Tripp. She was an amazing woman, and her lively personality and insight into oahu made my trip worthwhile. I definitely recommend anyone who wants a good experience to apply for the Lola bus! Give five stars.

Very nice time on the ship. Plenty of room to move around to see whales. Saw 8 whales on our trip. Lots of blows and flukes. I recommend this trip to anyone looking for a whale sighting. The boat was professionally staffed and the buffet was good.

At first, the children were happy to be on the boat, but perhaps due to bad luck, even though the weather was nice, we couldn't see anything. They provided trivia about whales over the intercom, but everyone around seemed a bit deflated since we didn't see anything. I'll just chalk it up to bad luck.

最初は船に乗れて子供も喜んでいましたが、運が悪かったのかて天気も良かったけれども何も見れませんでした。クジラのトリビアなどを船内放送で教えてくれるのですが、何も見れなかった事に対して周りもしらけ気味。運が悪かったと思っておきます

Amy offered a very personal tour-- only 5 of us in her van. She is well acquainted with cast and crew members and very knowledgeable about both Hawaii Five O shows. Loved how she pulled up video footage from specific episodes as we were traveling in the same locations. Even if you're not a fan of the show, this tour is a great way to see favorite Oahu spots--the courthouse, Tantulus, Punchbowl/Veterans Cemetary. And the warm malasadas topped off an amazing morning!

At first, I was disappointed because I couldn't see any whales on the day I had reserved, but I was able to get another boarding ticket. And on the second try! I saw them! I was really lucky since I had a free day! After we spotted the whales, the captain quickly moved to a spot where we could see them well, which made it very easy to view! I was so moved! Thank you! Since it was a large cruise ship, I didn't experience any seasickness. By the way, the shuttle bus fee of $15 is self-funded. We used THEBUS.

最初、予約していた日には鯨は見れず落胆していましたが、再度乗船チケットを発券してもらいました。で、２回目！見れました！予定が無い日があったので本当にラッキーでした！鯨発見後は、キャプテンが鯨がよく見えるスポットに素早く移動していただいたいおかげで、とても見やすかったです！感動しました！ありがとうございましたら！大型客船の為、船酔いも無しでした。因みに送迎バス代15ドルは自己負担です。私達はTHEBUS利用しました。

This time, we participated in a family trip with my 84-year-old mother-in-law, my 78-year-old aunt, my wife, and my daughter. The weather was perfect, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was amazing. Additionally, the lei-making and hula dance lessons were a great memory, as both my mother-in-law and aunt are experienced and were very happy. We were also moved to encounter the main attraction, the whales. The boat was large, and the crew was wonderful, making for a great experience. Thank you to all the crew members.

今回は84歳の義理母、78歳の叔母、妻と娘の5人での親孝行旅行で、ツアーに参加しました。
天気も最高で、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高でした。
また、レイ作りやフラダンスレッスンは、母も叔母も経験者なので良い思い出になったと大喜びでした。
メインの鯨とも遭遇できて感動しました。
船も大きくクルーも素敵な方ばかりで、いい気持ちでした。
クルーの皆様有難うございました。

The canoe show and night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, as well as the hula lessons, were very enjoyable. Our guide, Kelina, was knowledgeable and made the tour both fun and informative. I felt that the bus driver's driving was quite wild, and I hope that can be improved. Overall, it was a highly satisfying tour.

ポリネシアンセンターのカヌーショウとナイトショウ、フラのレッスンがとても楽しかったです。ガイドのケリーナさんが知識豊富でとても楽しく為になる内容のツアーでした。バスの運転手さんの運転がかなりワイルドでそこだけは改善してほしいと思いました。トータルでは最高に満足度の高い内容のツアーでした。

The Japanese driver provided guidance on the scenery and a brief history of Hawaii. It was such a satisfying tour that I almost forgot the main event was horseback riding.

Of course, all the horses at Turtle Bay Resort were charming, and the riding staff were wonderful people. On my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to take some time to explore beyond just Waikiki.

日本人運転手さんが車窓や、ハワイの簡単な歴史など、ガイドもしてくださいました。メーンイベントが乗馬であることをうっかり忘れてしまうほどの、大満足なツアーでした。

もちろん、タートルベイリゾートの馬たちは皆んなチャーミングで、乗馬スタッフもステキな方たちでした。
次のハワイ旅行の機会には、ワイキキだけではなく時間をとって足を伸ばしてみようと思いました。

Shortly after setting sail, we were able to see two shadows, and the journey continued alongside a mother and her calf. It was a tour where we shared the excitement with the crew while watching their backs, dorsal fins, and occasionally seeing them spout water.

The crew and captain's announcements were in English, but perhaps because there were many Japanese participants, they used simple words. We were also able to view specimens of vertebrae and some simple research materials, and they provided explanations while we looked at them.

Although the weather in the Waikiki area was unfortunate, we were not caught in the rain while at sea and were able to enjoy a relaxing time while watching a beautiful rainbow.

出航してまもなく、２つの影を見ることができ、そのまま親子二頭に付き添う航海でした。
背中、尾びれ、たまに潮吹きを見守りながらクルーさんと感動を分かち合う、そんなツアーでした。

クルー、船長さんのアナウンスは英語ですが、日本人の多いツアーだからか、簡単な単語を使ってくれます。
背骨の標本や、簡単な研究資料なども閲覧可能で、見ていると説明もしてくださいました。

ワイキキエリアはあいにくのお天気でしたが、海上で雨に降られることもなく、綺麗な虹を見ながらのんびりした時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated based on the information that whales are still migrating in March. But in the end, it was just a brief glimpse of something far away, and I couldn't tell if it was really a whale or not. We weren't given any re-boarding tickets either. Hmm, is this how it usually is...? I've heard rumors that they haven't been seen at all for the past two weeks. I wish they had canceled it then... The wind was also too strong, and it wasn't pleasant at all. I won't be doing this again!

3月は鯨がまだ回遊しているという情報をもとに参加。　でも結局ほんとに遠くにチラッと見えたか見えないかで終了。　再乗船券も配られず。う〜ん　こんなもんなんですかねぇ〜。。。　風の噂にここ２週間ぐらい全然見えないと言う事。　なら中止して欲しかった。。。　風もあまりに強く気持ちよかったわけでもなく。　再度はないですね！

I think there are various activities that keep things interesting. The staff was friendly, and it was a fun day. I definitely recommend it!

いろんなアクティビティがあり飽きないと思います
スタッフも親切でたのしい一日でした
ぜひおすすめします

We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.

午前中の観光から始まり１３時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。
今回のツアーでお世話になったガイドさん　本当にありがとうございました。
来年　またお会いできるといいです。

I was skeptical about whether I would be able to see whales, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale beautifully. It was truly amazing. There was also an announcement in Japanese on the boat. The boat was clean and nice as well. It became a wonderful memory.

クジラを観れるかどうか半信半疑でしたが、見事に親子のクジラを観ることができました。ほんとに最高でした。船上では日本語のアナウンスもありました。船も綺麗で良かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

With excitement in our hearts, we boarded the luxurious cruise ship "Star of Honolulu." We chose the "no meal option," but since the gathering was early in the morning, many people were enjoying a buffet breakfast on board.

As we cruised off the coast of Waikiki, we spotted about three whales, but we could mostly see just their backs. Just when we were about to give up, we finally witnessed a blow (spouting) scene, which brought us a sense of relief.

　期待に胸膨らませながら豪華クルーズ船「スターオブホノルル号」に乗船。
我々は「食事なしコース」を選択しましたが、集合が早朝だったので船内でブッフェ形式の朝食を摂っている人たちも多くいました。
　ワイキキ沖合をクルーズしていると、３頭ほど鯨が見られましたがほとんどが背中の部分のみ、諦めかけていた時ついにブロー(潮吹き)シーンが見られ、まあ何とか安堵の気持ちになりました。

On February 9th, our family of seven participated. We chose the option with transportation, and the pickup was smooth. Upon arrival, we boarded the boat and immediately had breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, sausages, bread, watermelon, pineapple, and drinks of coffee and orange juice—please refer to the photos. After breakfast, we enjoyed about an hour and a half of cruising. The weather was great that day, and we had a wonderful view of the streets of Hawaii and Diamond Head. As for the whales, we saw them very well. At first, there was one, and later on, two came to visit us, and we could see their tails clearly. I believe everyone who participated that day had the best smiles. I read in other reviews that some people experienced seasickness, but since it’s nature, I think it can’t be helped. We were lucky to have a calm sea cruise under clear skies, so we didn’t get seasick. This event was suggested by my wife, and I truly think it was a great decision to go. Thank you very much to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience and memories of our trip.

2月9日に家族7名で参加しました。送迎付きを選択しましたが、スムーズにピックアップしてもらいました。到着し船に乗りすぐに朝食でしたが、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、パン、スイカやパイナップル、飲み物はコーヒーとオレンジジュースで、写真を参考にして下さい。朝食後、約一時間半のクルージングでしたが、当日は天気も良く、ハワイの街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドも良く見え素晴らしいものでした。あと、肝心のクジラですが、本当に良く見えました。最初は一頭、最後の方には二頭がやって来てくれ、いずれも尻尾が良く見え、当日、参加した人全員が最高の笑顔だったと思います。他の人の口コミで船酔いをしたとの書き込みがありましたが、自然相手のことですので仕方ないのではないかと思います。私達は晴天の中で静かな海のクルージングでしたので、船酔いをしなかったのは、本当に幸運でした。今回のイベントは妻の提案で行くことになりましたが、行って本当に良かったと思います。スタッフの皆さん、旅の思い出として、とても良い経験をさせていただき本当にありがとうございました。

Very entertaining day had by all.
Thanks Tommy for being not only informative but also entertaining.

Loved everything from the beginning to end of the tour , the driver and the overall experience. Glad we got this tour package to understand more of Hawaiian culture

Loved our driver Paulani , she was very informative of the place and around the area. Will definitely use this App again for future travels . We all had a great time for visiting Oahu for the first time

The jungle tour and the movie location tour were a lot of fun. My son was thrilled to visit the filming location of his favorite, Jurassic World! On the way back from the jungle tour, an American behind us shouted "more fast!" and the jeep felt like a roller coaster, which got everyone super excited! Due to time constraints, we couldn't join other tours, so I'm planning to go again next time.

ジャングルツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー楽しいです。
息子は大好きなジュラシックワールドのロケ地に興奮！
ジャングルツアーでひと通り見学した帰り道、後ろのアメリカ人がmore fast!と叫び、ジープはまるでジェットコースター状態でみんなで吹っ飛ばさそうになり、これまた大興奮！
時間の関係上、他のツアーに参加出来なかったので次回も行こうと思っています。

I was glad to see many whales, but I thought I would be able to see them a bit closer. Overall, I am satisfied.

たくさんクジラが見れたので良かったのですが、もう少し近くで見られると思ってました。
おおむね満足です。

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again
