All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Since my stay was short, I relied on this tour to efficiently explore the area. It covers all the famous landmarks, tourist spots, shows, and cultural experiences listed in guidebooks. The price for two meals included was a great deal.

滞在期間が短かったので、効率的に観光できるこちらのツアーにお世話になりました。ガイドブックに載っている名所、観光スポット、ショー、文化体験全て網羅されてます。2食付きでこの料金はお得でした。

Everything was perfect. A very nice bus ride to the ship, all you can eat snow crab legs diner, the wonderful service & entertainment & of course the beautiful views.

Horseback riding while gazing at the beautiful sea was very pleasant. The driver and guide provided thorough explanations of the riding precautions in advance, so I felt安心して参加できます.

きれいな海を眺めながらの乗馬はとても気持ちがよかったです。
乗馬の諸注意も、ドライバー兼ガイドさんがあらかじめ丁寧に説明してくれるので、安心して参加できます。

I started with the canyon plan, but I was suddenly informed that horseback riding was canceled due to the muddy ground from the rain the day before and the rain on the day itself, which made it even more dangerous. However, I was quickly switched to a seaside horseback riding experience where the weather was nice, and I had an incredibly fun time.

Hiro, who was different from the initial staff, was amazing until the very end. Before we went horseback riding, the staff explained the precautions in English and detailed the process of getting on the horse, which was very easy to understand. As a first-timer, I felt reassured and was able to ride without any trouble. The horse was calm and well-behaved.

After riding, I learned about tipping, which is not common in Japan. I was told that if I enjoyed the experience, I should hand over a certain amount of dollars at the end, so I was able to do that smoothly.

During lunch, I made a phone reservation to ensure we could eat as soon as the restaurant opened, and by the time we arrived, our orders were ready. Hiro also provided us with unique experiences that we wouldn't find elsewhere until just before we parted ways.

I know I've written a lot, but I truly believe that the quality of the tour was largely due to the role of the tour coordinator. Although I suddenly switched from the more expensive canyon horseback riding plan to the more affordable seaside option, thanks to Hiro, I had a really enjoyable day. Of course, the difference in price for the plans was refunded the next day.

渓谷プランでスタートしましたが、乗馬は突然の中止（前日の雨で山の地面がぬかるんでいた上に当日も雨が降ったので尚更危険な状態となった）を言い渡されました。が、しかし即、天気の良かった海辺の乗馬に入れ込んでもらい
超楽しい時間を過ごせました。
最初のスタッフと変わったHiroさん、最後の最後まで最高でしたよ。
乗馬に行く前には、乗馬のスタッフは英語で注意事項を喋るからと、こんなことの説明があるとかの馬に乗るまでの流れ等々を詳細に話してくれました。非常に分かりやすく、初体験の私も安心して苦労することなく乗馬できました。
馬も大人しく、行儀も良かったですよ。
乗馬後は、日本には無いチップについて、こういう訳で、楽しかったと思たら◯ドルを最後に手渡してあげてくださいと馬場に向かう車内て教えてもらっていたので、すんなり手渡すこともできました。
昼食時には、開店と同時に食べられるように、注文を各人に聞いて店に電話予約、店に着いた頃には、本当に注文した食事ができている状態でした。他にもヒロさんには、他では味わえないことを解散直前までやってもらいました。
長々書き込んでいますが、ツアーの内容が良かったと感じるのは、やはり同行するツアーコーディネーターの役割が100%ですね
値段の高い渓谷乗馬プランから、安めの海辺乗馬に突然なりましたが、ヒロさんのおかげで、本当に楽しい一日を過ごせました。
当然、プランの値段に対する差額は、翌日に戻ってきました。

Had a great time on the cruise with my friend and her family! Everyone couldn’t wait for the all you can eat crab legs! Once we took off everyone was having a awesome time watching the scenic view as we ate and later walked around. The kids we having so much fun watching the entertaining dancers then even more fun when they got to dance too! The crew, the food & the entertainment were amazing!

The shuttle was great. Driver was knowledgeable, friendly and timely. Great experience and would highly recommend!

The food was okay and the show was good. Since the cruise was floating slow we felt seasick.

Thank you Romero for your super friendly and knowledgeable guide. His pick up to and from the falls was on time. We only booked the shuttle 2 nights before &no dramasWould recommend Veltra to anyone who wants a friendly & reliable service.

Good tour around the city and the hawaii 5 o locations. But often we only drove by with no stop in front of the spots. Interesting background information about the show and making of.
Unfortunately our guide amy had obviously not a good day. We had the feeling, that she was not really "with us".
She was pretty uninterested to tell more than asked and seemed uninvolved.

The weather was wonderful, and horseback riding while looking at the ocean was the best. The children were also very happy. Thank you very much.

お天気にも恵まれて海を見ながらの乗馬は最高でした。
子どもたちも喜んでいました。
ありがとうございました。

I visited with my 2-year-old son, and we had a great time. There were staff members who understood Japanese, which made our sightseeing enjoyable. In addition to visiting movie filming locations, we saw sea turtles from the boat and ate fresh macadamia nuts and starfruit at the botanical garden. For lunch, we had a buffet where we could eat as much as we wanted. During the free time between tours, we were able to interact with animals, and my child had a lot of fun. There were pigs, turtles, chickens, and horses! We made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

2歳の息子連れでしたが、十分に楽しめました。
日本語がわかるスタッフさんもいて、楽しく観光ができました。映画ロケ地以外に、ウミガメを船からみたり、植物園で生のマカダミアナッツや、スターフルーツを食べたり、お昼はビュッフェ形式で好きなだけ食べれます。
ツアーからツアーの空き時間で、動物とも触れ合えて、子供は楽しんでました。豚、亀、ニワトリ、馬がいます！素敵な思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

The time for the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa sightseeing was very short.
Horseback riding was a lot of fun.

Since we arrived in Waikiki earlier than scheduled, I wished we could have explored Haleiwa a bit more.

It was great that we received various information about Hawaii during the ride.

ドールプランテーションとハレイワ観光の時間が非常に短かったです。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです。

予定時刻よりも早くワイキキに着いたので、だったらもう少しハレイワを観光したかったです。

車内でハワイ情報をいろいろ提供していただけたのはとても良かったです。

This time, I participated in a tour of the filming locations at Kualoa Ranch, and I learned that it was not only the site for Jurassic Park but also for various other productions, including "50 First Dates" and commercials featuring Masaki Suda.

The three tours we took on-site were all enjoyable, but riding in the jeep was especially thrilling and really boosted my excitement.

On the return flight, they happened to be showing "50 First Dates," and I remembered what the guide had mentioned, so I decided to watch it. To my surprise, Kualoa Ranch was featured, along with the night view from Tantalus, the Dole Plantation, and even the pool at the hotel where I stayed, the Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel!

I was exploring the filming locations without knowing, and on the flight home, I was able to bask in an unexpected afterglow.

今回、クワロア牧場ロケ地巡りに参加し、ジュラシックパークだけじゃなく、最近では、『50回目のファーストキス』や菅田将暉さんのCM等様々なロケ地だった事を知りました。
現地での3つのツアーは、それぞれ楽しかったのですが、やっぱりジープで巡ったのはアトラクション感満載で、よりテンションが上がりました。

帰りの飛行機で、丁度『50回目のファーストキス』をやっていたので、ガイドさんが言われていたなぁ〜と思い見てみた所、ビックリ‼︎
クワロア牧場はもちろん、タンタラスの丘の夜景やドールプランテーション、極め付けは宿泊したホテルのワイキキサンドビラホテルのプールが映っていたのです(*_*)
知らないまま、ロケ地を回っていて、帰路の飛行機で、思わぬ余韻に浸る事が出来ました(*^^*)

As a major fan, accompanied by a moderate fan indulging me, we both had a great time. Amy made sure all had fun. We had a lot of laughs, she shared some fun stories and we got to see all the sights. All of O'ahu seems to be a Hawaii Five-O set, but the key spots and how those get adjusted for better TV are all in the tour. High light of course is the time we got to spent at the mcgarrett house. The owners of the bayer estate are so lovely and welcoming, a hugh Mahalo to them. We were extra lucky, because as soon as we got into the car we were invited to a preview of the 200th episode 3 days later at the mcgarrett house. that was the highlight of our trip. We had such a good time and got to talk to Dennis Chun and his lovely wife Laura. Both were so friendly. The Episode was amazing and at our tour we already saw the house which was used in filming that episode. We were just in time to also see the restaurant before the plot line ended. Even if you only know about the show and are not a fan the tour is highly recommended because you're guaranteed to have fun and see lots of O'ahu As a fan you're guaranteed to have the best time of your life, because apart from an actual meet and greet this is the best way to connect to your favourite show. what other show has real life sets you can actually visit?!? Amy, you rock! Next barefoot bottle is on us :-)

I enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, greeting people who were fishing or taking walks. The scenery was truly wonderful. There are some bumpy paths, but I found them more enjoyable than riding on flat roads. While riding through the trees, my horse occasionally tried to veer off to eat grass, but I could keep it on track with the reins. Even if the horse didn't respond to my commands, I felt reassured knowing that the guides in front and behind me were there to help.

海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら、釣りをしていたり散歩している人と挨拶したりもしました。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです。少しでこぼこした道がありますが、それも平坦な道を行くよりは楽しかったです。木々の中を乗馬していたら、馬がたまに草を食べに横道に行きそうになりますが、手綱で操作すれば真っ直ぐ進んでくれます。馬が指示を聞いてくれなくても前後のガイドの人が指導してくれるので安心でした。

A great experience. The traditional music, food, atmosphere were all fantastic. Our guide Pua was exceptional. Filled us full of knowledge, most of all she was polite, courteous, personable, and very interactive.

It was a tour by bus that took us to three courses: movie location visits, jungle exploration, and a tropical garden. Each bus had a Japanese guide on board, making the explanations easy to understand. Next time, I think I might try the ATV tour or zip-lining. The pork ribs and pineapple for lunch were very delicious.

映画ロケ地めぐり・ジャングル探検・トロピカルガーデンの3コースをバスで巡るツアーでした。それぞれのバスに日本語ガイドが同乗するので説明もわかりやすかったです。次回はATVツアーかジップラインに挑戦してみようかなと思いました。ランチのポークリブとパイナップルが大変おいしかった。

Great time, very emotional . Hard to Imagine what all our troops went through

I participated in the canyon horseback riding. I was a bit worried about staying on for 90 minutes without falling off, but I had no problems and enjoyed it thoroughly. The hungry horses took a detour to eat grass right away, but when I pulled the reins, they came back nicely. The 90 minutes flew by, and I would love to participate again if I get the chance.

The garlic shrimp for lunch was different from what I had eaten the last time I visited; it was a bento with shrimp. I was a bit disappointed by that. The time spent at Dole Plantation was short, and it felt more like a bathroom break at a drive-in. I felt like it might not have been necessary. A leisurely lunch in Haleiwa would have been better.

I chose the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch offered by the travel agency because it was bundled with other attractions, thinking it would be simpler. The horseback riding was fun, but the other activities felt unimportant. I understand now that a tour focused solely on horseback riding wouldn't be feasible. I'll keep this in mind for next time. Thank you.

渓谷乗馬に参加しました。
90分落ちないでいられるか、少し心配でしたが、全く問題なく楽しく参加できました。
食いしん坊なお馬さん達は、直ぐに草を食べに寄り道しましたが、手綱をひくとちゃんと戻ってくれました。
90分があっという間で、また機会があったら参加したいです。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプは、以前行ったときに食べたものとは違い、エビ入り弁当でした。
これには少しがっかりでした。
ドールプランテーションも滞在時間が短くて、ドライブインでトイレ休憩みたいな感じでした。無くてもよかったような気がします。
ハレイワでゆっくりランチの方がいいですね。
旅行社オプショナルのクアロア牧場の乗馬が、他のアトラクションとセットだったので、こちらの方がシンプルかなと思い選びました。
乗馬は楽しかったのですが、他はどうでもいい感じでした。
乗馬だけのオプショナルツアーは成り立たないのだと理解しました。
次回の参考にします。
ありがとうございました。

I found the driver/tour guide annoying and condescending. When telling us the time limits he could have scripted better like i.e." we're on a tight schedule and we only have 10 mins on this site so please be back at (state the exact time). He's so full of himself and very scattered with his stories and facts. He didn't even know Hawaii's state bird, he said the white crane. He kept on showing his arm muscles and his jokes were not even funny. He kept on singing, he could just have played any Hawaiian music, he also took jabs at other driver/tour guides.

In addition to horseback riding, I was able to spend a meaningful day visiting the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town.

At the Dole Plantation, there wasn't much time to stay, so I could only do a light stroll and some shopping at the shop.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.

In Haleiwa Town, I had garlic shrimp for lunch. It was plump and delicious. Since the town isn't very large, I enjoyed walking around the shops and strolling with a coffee in hand.

Horseback riding by the beach was refreshing and fun. All the horses are smart, so I think even beginners can enjoy riding.

I was disappointed by some misinformation regarding horseback riding. The website and voucher mentioned that there would be free lockers available at the riding area, so I planned to store my valuables like my camera in a locker. However, there were no lockers, and the guide told me to keep my valuables with me, which made me anxious. I recommend bringing a small bag, like a waist pouch, to hold your valuables.

乗馬の他に、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンの観光も付いていて有意義に一日を過ごす事が出来ました。

ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間がそんなにないので、軽い散策とショップでの買い物くらいしかできませんでした。

ウミガメは残念ながら見られませんでした。

ハレイワタウンでは、ガーリックシュリンプを昼食に食べました。
ぷりぷりでおいしかったです。
そんなに広くない街なので、歩いてショップめぐりをしたり、コーヒーを片手に散策したりと楽しめました。

海辺での乗馬は気持ちがよく、楽しかったです。
どの馬もかしこいので、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめると思います。

乗馬に関して、事前の情報違いがあり残念でした。
「乗馬場では鍵のかかるロッカー（無料）がございます」との説明文がホームページやバウチャーに記載されていたので、カメラなど貴重品をロッカー預けようと思っていましたが、実際にはロッカーは無く、ガイドに自分で貴重品を持つように言われて焦りました。
ウエストポーチなど、貴重品を入れられる小さめのバッグを持って行くことをお勧めします。

Great tour, our driver ‘Captain Ron’ was great, very informative and someone who really loves his job! Pick up time was 07:30 so a bit later than other full day tours which we preferred too. Only issue was that we picked some people up from the airport coming from Maui who had missed their flight so had to wait for an hour, but Captain Ron kept us entertained and we still had plenty of time at each place.

Personally I loved the video and the boat trip around the Missouri but my husband loved the Aviation museum. Would definitely recommend this tour and plenty to see and do!

In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.

結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。

Amy was the perfect guide very knowledgeable and interesting so Kim and myself whould definitely recommend this tour
Avery big thank you to amy

Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.

This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.

We went with seven people from three generations. I thought the person taking care of many tours at the meeting point, Hilton Hawaiian Village, was from Hilton, but it turned out to be a Japanese guide from Kualoa Ranch. They were very polite and made a good impression. The explanations at Kualoa Ranch were clear and concise, focusing only on the important points without unnecessary details.

We experienced three types of activities and a lunch course. Since my grandchild is small, we chose the Taste of Kualoa Tour, the Movie Site Tour, and the Ocean Voyage Tour.

On the Taste of Kualoa Tour, we were able to see and taste various tropical fruits. I had seen breadfruit many times, but it was my first time trying it as chips. They were deep-fried and seemed to have no seasoning, but they were very delicious.

The Movie Site Tour mainly focused on locations from Jurassic Park, and it was fun to watch Jurassic World on the plane back and see familiar scenes.

When my grandchild gets a bit older, I look forward to trying the horseback riding tour and the jungle expedition. I also want to enjoy the ATV tour.

三世代7人で行ってきました。集合場所のヒルトン・ハワイアンビレッジで多くの方のツアーの面倒を見ていた方はヒルトンの人だと思っていたのですが、クアロア牧場の日本人ガイドさんでした。皆さんに丁寧に対応しており好感が持てました。クアロア牧場での説明も余計なことは言わず、大事な事だけを簡潔に説明していたのでわかりやすかったです。
アクティビティ3種類とランチのコースを体験しました。
孫が小さいのでテイストオブクアロアツアー、映画ロケ地ツアー、オーシャンボヤジツアーです。
テイストオブクアロアツアーでは南国の色々な果物の見学と試食ができました。パンの実は何度も見たことがありますが、チップスを食べたのは初めてでした。素揚げで味は付けてないようですが非常に美味しかったです。
映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークのロケ地がメインでしたが、帰りの飛行機の中でジュラシックワールドを見て、見覚えのある場面が出てきて楽しかったです。
孫がもう少し大きくなったら乗馬ツアー、ジャングルエクシペディション。ATVツアーも楽しみたいと思っています。

Driver Levent was right on time for pick up .The tour was amazing & very informative . The knowledge Levent had was incredible . the sights we saw were good & lunch delicious . Highly recommend this tour for 1st timers to Oahu or returnees to the island.My daughter & I had a great time .

Arriving 15 minutes early at the meeting place, I found many tour participants there. Just as I was feeling a bit lost, I heard the clear voice of Kerina, who was wearing a muumuu, and I was able to meet up without any issues. Kerina, reminiscent of Kiyomaro Ayakouji, was an excellent guide, and the bus was filled with laughter. We efficiently visited key points, and I was able to purchase valuable decorations with a warranty, quickly making our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was thrilled to have Kerina as my guide for my first Japanese-language tour. The Polynesian Cultural Center was a place I wanted to visit again on my own due to time constraints. The lunch and dinner were neither particularly good nor bad, but I was moved by the university and palace we were shown before the show. Additionally, I was deeply impressed when I learned about the history of the facility from the volunteer students. I felt very satisfied knowing that what I paid would help the students achieve their goals as I left in the shuttle.

集合場所に15分前に着くと、多くのツアー参加者が居て、迷っていると直ぐにムームーを着たKERINAさんの澄んだ声が聞こえ無事ミート。綾小路きみまろを彷彿とさせるKERINAさんの名ガイドに車内は爆笑の渦に。要所を効率的に回り、貴重な装飾品も保証書付きで安心購入でき、あっという間にポリネシアン文化センターへ。初めての日本語ガイドツアーにKERINAさんが付いてくれて大感激でした。ポリネシアン文化センターは時間不足で今度は個人で来たい施設でした。ランチ、ディナーは可もなく不可もない食事でしたが、ショーの前に案内された大学と宮殿に感動。更にボランティアの学生さんに施設開設の歴史を聞いて大感動。ここで支払ったものが学生さんの目的達成に役立つなら大満足だったと送迎車で後にしました。

I did the Diamond head and Moana hike. Both great! Was picked up in morning a little earlier only because we were out there waiting already. Our driver was friendly and informative of things around town to try. Unfortunately it was our last day there so no time to go and try out. But we had an incident where a women was not happy because a family was late arriving for their pick up ( they said they thought it was somewhere else- so call to confirm but from my experience it’s usually at the entrance of the hotel.) But the lady wasn’t happy cause she was going to miss the sun rise...well driver told her he had to at least give people some time after pick up time to be there. But after all that we were all happy and headed our way. Bring rain jacket if you can to Moana falls hike and good shoes- wet slippery. They have ponchos though just in case. Thanks for the great experience!!! I would use them again next time I come back. Till next time!
