All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Our guide Justin was great,couldn't have had a more informative person. His personality made the tour,along with the way he helped everyone special needs

Had a great time. It's worth it. Highly recommeded

Learnt so much about the Polynesian way, such an insight. Would definitely come back! The tour guide we had was soooo funny and so informative!

Our tour guide Jason was great. Just wished the seats was more comfortable for the long journey. We were able to feel every bump and crack on the road going to PCC, that part i didn't enjoy, even heading back to Waikiki was miserable and rough.

Good activities. Well organised
Bus driver/guide was very informative and friendly.

It was uncertain whether we would see whales towards the end of the season, but unfortunately, we didn't. I will try again.

シーズン終わり近くで、クジラが見られるか微妙でしたが、残念ながら見れませんでした。
また挑戦します。

Good tour for our needs. Tell the people NO BAGS so everybody does not have to go back to pick up bags that never should have been on the bus!!

My husband and I enjoyed exploring Hawaii through the hiking shuttle to Diamond Head and Manoa Falls. I would highly recommend this for others visiting Oahu!

Our driver was very friendly and when half of our friends hadn't come down on time he was very forgiving. He gave us plenty of info and everything ran on time. He gave anple time at both hikes to get it all done. It was a great day!

The half-day tour of Oahu felt really like an add-on. It was disappointing that we spent quite a bit of time stopping at a jewelry store that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. I thought the students at the Polynesian Cultural Center were truly dedicated and wonderful. The show was also impressive.

オアフ島半日観光は、本当におまけ的な感じでした。途中記載になかった宝石屋さんに寄って、結構時間を割いていたのは残念です。ポリネシア文化センターは学生さんが本当に皆、一生懸命で素晴らしいと思いました。ショーも圧巻でした。

The explanation for shark watching was all in English. I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but I managed! When I put on my snorkel and peered into the sea, there were over 20 sharks! They didn't come close, so it didn't seem dangerous. However, it was a bit challenging to see them while battling the rough waves. But that was thrilling and fun! I had to wait for others to have their turn, so the time on the boat was long, which made me a bit seasick. But I’m glad I did it! ♪

シャークウォッチングの説明は全て英語。何を言ってるか全然分からなかったけど、なんとかなる！シュノーケルを付けていざ海の中を覗くとそこにはサメが20頭以上いた！でも近付いてくるわけじゃないから危険ではなさそう。でも荒波と戦いながら見る事が少し大変。でもそれがスリリングでまた楽しかった！だけど他の方の番も待たないといけないので、船の滞在時間が長いため船酔いした。でもやって良かったと思いました♪

Our main event this time was horseback riding. Last time we did it at Kualoa, but here the duration was longer, and the horses were smart, which made it a安心 experience. It was disappointing not to see any turtles, but we were able to have lunch at a restaurant we researched in Haleiwa, and we also had time for shopping. Haleiwa drops you off at your requested location, so I think it's good to do some research beforehand. It's only an hour, so if you haven't checked, it goes by in a flash. Horseback riding truly became the main event this time, and it was fantastic!

私たちの今回のメインイベントだった乗馬でした。前回はクアロアでやりましたが、ここは時間も長く、かしこい馬さんで安心して乗れました。亀には会えず残念でしたが、ハレイワでも調べていた店でランチができ、ショッピングする時間もありました。ハレイワはリクエストの場所に降ろしてくれるので、調べていかれるといいと思います。1時間ですので、チェックしてなかったらあっという間ですよ。乗馬は今回のメインイベントにちゃんとなり、最高でした！

another must thing to do with a local guide and guided tour inside cultural center is recommended who knows where to go and not miss any of the activities in each village. Best Luau ever !!!

highly recommended if you want to see USS Arizona and Missouri and learn about history and see planes and experience how hard to work on a submarine with limited space

I really do it again.
It was a very nice and wonderful tour.

The morning was really great. We were able to visit places that are only accessible by car. Above all, the guide was entertaining.

I think it wasn't necessary to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center in the afternoon. I especially think it's better not to take the shuttle bus that departs from the cultural center. Until then, it was fun. I couldn't enjoy the evening show because of that shuttle bus. I think the show itself was good.

午前中は本当に良かった。車じゃないと行けないところを回れた。何より、ガイドさんが面白かった。

午後のポルネシアン文化センターは行かなくても良かったと思う。特に文化センターから出ているシャトルバスに乗らない方がいいと思う。それまでは、楽しかった。夜のショーの間もそのシャトルバスのせいで楽しめなかった。ショー自体はいいと思う。

I'm not sure what was "deluxe" about this tour. We were picked up and taken on a "tour" of Honolulu first. This amounted to circling a couple of blocks where the King's palace and statue are. Then we went on to Pearl Harbor where we were informed that we would be switching to a different bus for our return to our resort! The 1st driver was difficult to understand when he was telling us what we were seeing. The 2nd driver was much better, although he seemed to talk about things as he saw them and would move onto something else before the rest of the bus caught up to what he had been talking about! I think there are cheaper options for a tour like this which accomplish the exact same thing!

Our Driver, Brandon was fun, energetic and informative. We couldn't have asked for a better trip all around.

The day ran pretty smoothly. Slight problem at start when we were told they had overbooked but it was all sorted quickly. Great bus driver. Funny and very informative. A very hot day especially on the Missouri but good food and drink outlets.

Such a great day! A fantastic way to discover the north shore, just the right blend between organized activities and free time! I would do it again without hesitation

Thank you very much for your help the other day; my family of four had a great time. Before participating in the tour, I thought we would just go to the North and ride horses, but thanks to Hiro's detailed explanations of sightseeing points, time management, and highlights, we learned many things we didn't know before. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour for all four of us. I definitely want to join other tours with Hiro's transportation and guidance as well.

Thank you for a truly enjoyable time.

先日は大変お世話になり、家族4人で楽しむ事が出来ました。ツアーに参加する前は、ただノースに行って馬に乗るだけなのかと思っていましたが、送迎して頂いたヒロさんの細かい観光ポイントの説明や、時間配分、見所等々、随所に配慮頂き今まで知らなかった事を知る事も出来、家族4人大変満足のいくツアーとなりました。是非また他のツアーもヒロさんの送迎&添乗で参加したいと思います。
本当に、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I have been living in Hawaii for about six months for work. I used this for a solo trip on my day off! I was able to choose options for breakfast and transportation to the location. I applied for the cheapest tour without any extras. I took The Bus to the location and was able to find the boat right away without any issues. I recommend The Bus for those with some time to spare! I only saw the whales for a brief moment, but since it's nature... there's nothing you can do about it. It's a limited-time event, so I can't participate now, but if I'm in Hawaii during the season again, I would like to join once more.

私はハワイに仕事で半年ぐらいの在住者です。休みの日の一人旅で利用！
朝食の有無、現地まで送迎の有無をオプションで選べました。私は何も付けない一番安いツアーに申込ました。ザ・バスで現地までＧＯ！船もすぐに見つけることができ問題無しでした。時間に余裕のある方はザ・バスをお勧めします！クジラはほんの一瞬だけしか見れませんでしが、自然が相手ですから…仕方がないですね。期間限定ですので今は参加できませんが、シーズになりハワイにいれば、また参加したです。

At Dole, you only have about 30 minutes, so it's best to quickly finish shopping while eating ice cream and take care of restroom needs. If you take your time, you won't get anything done, so it's all about acting swiftly!

When we visited Turtle Beach, it was cloudy, so we couldn't see any turtles, but I've heard that you can usually see them if the weather is nice.

Horseback riding was incredibly fun. They give you a brief verbal explanation of how to ride, but even people in their 70s seemed to enjoy it, so I think it's something anyone can have fun with. Before you ride, they tell you the horse's name, which helps you feel attached, and calling its name or petting it gives a sense of communication.

If you just act normally, it's not dangerous, and the horses are quite gentle. Since you ride through the mountains, I recommend wearing long pants. I saw some young people in shorts, and they got bitten by mosquitoes in several places and had big welts. The ones in pants were unscathed.

At the North Shore, we had lunch (garlic shrimp) and about 45 minutes of free time. When I told the driver I wanted to eat garlic shrimp, he made a reservation, so I was able to buy it quickly. We got lunch boxes, ate outside, and then wrapped up our exploration.

After eating ice cream at Dole and garlic shrimp, there wasn't enough time for shave ice. Since there's a line for shave ice, if you want to eat it, you should either eat the garlic shrimp quickly or have someone stand in line while you eat to make the most of your time.

On the way back, the driver's stories sounded like a lullaby, and I fell into a deep sleep. We returned to Waikiki in about an hour. The horseback riding was with smart horses, so I was able to enjoy a leisurely ride while taking in the scenery, which was truly a great experience.

ドールは滞在時間30分なのでアイスを食べながら買い物を手早く済ませトイレを済ませる感じです。ゆっくりしてると何もできないのでさっさと行動あるのみです！
ウミガメビーチは私たちが行ったときは曇っていたのでウミガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていれば大体見れるそうです。
乗馬はもう最高に楽しいです。最初に乗り方を口頭で伝えられる程度ですが70代の方も楽しんでいらっしゃたので割と誰でも楽しめると思います。
乗る前に馬の名前を教えてくれるので愛着が湧きやすく名前を呼んだり触ったりすると何となく意思の疎通ができる気がします。
普通にしてれば危なくもないしおとなしいと思います。
山の中を乗馬するのでちゃんと長いズボンを履いた方がいいと思います。
若い子がショートパンツを履いていましたが何か所も蚊に刺されて大きく腫れていました。ズボンチームは無傷でした。
ノースショアはお昼ごはん(ガーリックシュリンプ)と45分程度の自由時間でした。
ガーリックシュリンプはドライバーさんに食べたい旨を伝えると予約しておいてくれささっと買えました。ランチボックスをもらい外で食べて散策といった感じで終了。
ドールでアイスを食べガーリックシュリンプを食べるとシェイブアイスは食べれない。。
シェイブアイスは並ぶので食べたい方はガーリックシュリンプはそこそこの早食いか一人並んでる間に食べるとかして時間を有効活用してくださいww
帰りはドライバーさんのお話が子守唄に聞こえ爆睡。1時間程度でワイキキに帰ってこられました。
乗馬は賢い馬なので景色を見ながらゆっくり乗馬できて本当に良い経験ができました。

The food and entertainment was fabulous.
The service was great.
Everyone was very accommodating too.

Just a little bit of tail flapping and a few spouts. I was worried about seasickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medication and being out on the deck in the wind, I was fine. Next time, I want to see the jumps as well. I don't know how many years it will be, but I want to participate again.

ほんのすこしだけ、尾ひれを振ってくれたのと、何度かの潮吹きと。
心配していた船酔いは、酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、
ずっとデッキに出ていたので風に当たっていたおかげか、大丈夫でした。
次はジャンプなども見たいです。何年後になるかわかりませんが、また参加したいです。

It was exciting walking through a rain forest and also a good cardio workout. Our group had walking sticks so it was beneficial where it was a bit rocky or wet. Just take your time going up or back down and enjoy the scenery.

It was great! Larry was super as a tour guide & driver.

I'm a beginner at horseback riding, but the horses are very well-trained, so I feel safe. I've really come to love horses. You can enjoy both the view of the ocean and riding through the windbreak forest. It's a wonderful time.

乗馬は初心者ですが、馬がとても馴れているので安心です。とても馬が好きになりました。海の眺めと防風林の乗馬両方楽しめます。とてもいい時間です。

We participated in the tour after convincing my husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic, that we could ride horses for 45 minutes. At Dole Plantation, we arrived early and bought pineapple ice as soon as it opened, leisurely looking at souvenirs and fresh pineapples. If we had more time, I would have liked to ride the train, but we had to give up after just 30 minutes. During the ride, there were explanations about various sights, including the "This is a tree, that is a tree" and the location of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We also got a tour of Haleiwa, where we got off at our desired spots and headed to horseback riding after about an hour and a half. We enjoyed visiting CAMARON for garlic shrimp, a red dirt T-shirt shop, SOHO, and other stores. The main horseback riding took us along the coast and through the forest, and we said goodbye to the horses with a bittersweet feeling. On the way back, we finally got to see the Honu at North Shore. My husband was satisfied, and we want to go again.

45分乗馬を乗れるという事で、乗り気でなかったダンナを説得してツアーに参加。ドールプランテーションは朝早く、開店と同時にパイナップルアイスを買い、のんびりとお土産やはえたパイナップルを見ました。時間があれば汽車に乗りたいけど30分のみで断念。途中この木なんの木～や、パール・ハーバー日本軍侵入場所など車内で解説があり、初のハレイワも車に乗ってグルッと説明を受け行きたい所へ降り約1時間半頃に乗馬へ。私たちはCAMARONのガーリックシュリンプ、赤土のTシャツ屋さんやSOHO、他の店を回り楽しめました。メインの乗馬は乗って海岸沿いや森の中を回り最後は名残惜しい位の気持ちで馬とお別れしました。帰りにノースショアの海で念願のHonuにも会えました。ダンナさんも満足、また行きたいです。

We had a great experience at the Luau even though we had a lot of rain. Don't worry, they provided ponchos for everyone, which helped keep us warm too. My son loved the fire dancers and the food was good too. The chief who narrated the show was hilarious.
