All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

As the reviews mentioned, there were hardly any Japanese people. Most of the audience was made up of Australians and tourists from the mainland United States, with a few Koreans as well. The bus and the show were entirely in English, but I think those who have a little English ability can understand it. The host of the show spoke slowly, so I was able to understand most of it. However, there were some typical foreign show jokes that might be a bit embarrassing if you're going with children of a certain age, but the host was skilled and entertaining.

I participated in the Royal Plan, but our seats were towards the back even within that plan. Since I had my timid 4-year-old daughter with me, I think the front row would have been too overwhelming, so it was just right. Children under 4 are free, so I thought she would sit on my lap, but they provided a child’s chair. I was looking forward to the short guided tour mentioned in the plan, but it didn’t happen. There was a turtle tank on the way to the venue, so we could see that, but everyone could see it regardless of the plan. I didn’t quite understand the lomi lomi salmon & poi tasting either; I don’t think it happened.

Each person received three drink tickets, but the bar closed before the show ended, so I couldn’t use them all. There was a waiter, so it seemed like you could ask for drinks. Since the seats at the edge of the Royal Plan are right next to the Standard Plan, I think the Standard Plan isn’t too bad either.

The activities started without me realizing it, and you have to actively participate. There were so many people that I could only experience a couple of things.

I haven’t seen other shows, but this one was very good. However, I felt a bit unsatisfied. There was a lot of talking from the host and interactions with the audience on stage, and I wished I could have seen more hula. But the final fire dance was spectacular. My daughter stayed seated without getting bored, and it wasn’t too far from Waikiki. I was very satisfied with our last night in Hawaii.

口コミ通り、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。大半がオーストラリア人とアメリカ本土からの観光客で、少し韓国人の方もいました。
バスもショーもずっと英語ですが、少し英語のできる人ならわかるかなといった感じです。特にショーの司会の方はゆっくりとした英語で話されていたので、大体理解できました。ただ、外国のショーでありがちな下ネタがよく入るので、お年頃のお子さんと行くのは少し恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、話も上手で面白かったです。

ロイヤルプランで参加しましたが、席はロイヤルプランの中でも後ろでした。怖がりな4歳の娘もいたので、最前列では迫力がありすぎてダメだったと思うので、ちょうどよかったです。4歳までは無料なので、ひざの上だと思ってましたが、子供いすを用意してくださいました。このプランではショートガイドツアーがあると書いてあり、楽しみにしていましたが、ありませんでした。会場に行く途中でカメの水槽があったので、見れることは見れましたが、プランに関係なく皆さん見れます。ロミロミサーモン&ポイ試食というのもよくわかりませんでした。なかったと思います。
飲み物も一人3枚付いていましたが、ショーが終わる前にはバーが閉まっており、全部使いきれませんでした。ウェイターさんがいるので、頼めば持ってきてくれるようでした。
ロイヤルプランの端っこの席だと、スタンダードプランのすぐ横なので、スタンダードプランでもそんなに悪くはないのかなと思います。

アクティビティは、いつの間にか始まっていて、自ら積極的に参加しなくてはいけないです。人も多いので、２つほどしか体験できませんでした。

ショーは、他のを見たことありませんが、とてもよかったです。ただちょっと物足りなかったです。司会の方のトークや観客をステージに上げてのトークも多く、もっとフラを見ていたかったような気もしますが、最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。娘も飽きることなく席に座っていましたし、ワイキキからもそう遠くなく、ハワイ最後の夜に、大変満足でした。

It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again

I actually wanted to experience the buggy ride and horseback riding, but unfortunately, the day I planned was fully booked. I participated in the movie tour, jungle tour, and a cruise, and I’m glad I did all of them. On the cruise, I was able to see swimming sea turtles in the distance, and during the movie tour, I enjoyed the beautiful and lively Japanese guide's easy-to-understand explanations while riding in a quirky, vintage bus and taking in the great outdoors. The jungle tour allowed me to ride in a Swiss military jeep and experience the impressive driving of a local handsome guide while enjoying the stunning views of Hawaii. The food, however, was not something I could honestly say was delicious. Next time, I’d like to challenge myself with the buggy ride or horseback riding!

本当は、バギーや乗馬を体験したかったのですが、あいにく予定の日が満席。映画ツアーとジャングルツアーとクルージングに参加しました。が、どれも参加して良かったです。クルーズでは泳ぐウミガメを遠くに見られたし、映画ツアーでは美人ではつらつとした日本人ガイドさんのわかりやすい説明を聞きながらポンコツな味のあるバスに乗って大自然を満喫できました。ジャングルツアーはスイスの軍事用ジープに乗って現地のイケメンの迫力ある運転を体験しながらハワイの絶景を鑑賞できました。食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えなかったです。次回はバギーか乗馬にチャレンジしたいですね！

We got the vow renewal package for our parents and they had a wonderful time. The views, food and entertainment were absolutely perfect :) The staff took a video on my mother-in-laws phone and they also received a special photo. They absolutely loved it and said they would do it again :) They said the staff were awesome!!!

Of everything we did seeing the Arizona & USS Missouri was our favorite. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much history and was just at awe to get to see Pearl Harbor!

Driver only spoke of food! Then it was not very clear on what was included so we missed the food trucks and NO lunch (after all talk and no food).

We chose the Royal package, it was alot of fun sitting up close and getting to eat first! There were lots of activities to do before dinner and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The alcoholic drinks are very "light", drink your free ones but save your money on the others. Buy some of the hand made jewelry instead!!

I participated alone. In the morning, I had a doll pineapple, and for lunch, I enjoyed a recommended shrimp plate lunch from the guide in Haleiwa. It was very delicious. The horseback riding was a lot of fun, enhanced by the beauty of Turtle Bay. The horses were well-trained, and it felt more like being carried by the horse rather than riding it. Even for first-timers, as long as you hold the reins properly, you'll be fine. The horses follow the guide's instructions, and the scenery was so beautiful that time flew by. On the way back, I observed sea turtles at the beach, which was very soothing.

一人で参加　午前中はドールパイナップル、お昼は　ハレイワで　ガイドさんお勧めのエビのプレートランチを食べました。とてもおいしかったです。乗馬はタートルベイの美しさと重なりとても楽しかったです。馬もちゃんと訓練されており馬に乗っているというよりも乗せてもらっているみたいな感じでした。初めての方でも　たずな　をしつかり持っていれば大丈夫　コースガイドさんの指示で馬は動きますので　何より景色がきれいなので　テンションが上がりあっという間でした。帰りはビーチでウミガメ見学　癒されました。

We have made previous trips to Oahu and had never does this. This is an excellent trip to have All you can eat crab you can eat, which is absolutely true, they kept it coming. The entertainment was interactive with the guests and hilarious to watch and to participate. Plan to do this again.

Great trip, a must for Five 0 fans, Amy is a fantastic guide and a fountain of knowledge, would definately recommend this and would certain do it again on my next visit

The tour was awesome. Our guide was fantastic. The luau was wonderful. We got to participate as part of celebrating our 34th anniversary. The Breath of life show was awesome.

We were a couple who were really into Lost, so we wanted to see the filming locations and decided to participate. The kids were happy too, and we had a great time.

夫婦でロストにはまっていたので、そのロケ地も見てみたくて参加しました。子供達も喜んでくれて楽しかったです。

Wonderful experience. Disappointed that we didn't get to go on memorial due to maintenance but overall loved it. Bus driver should get a raise. My favorite part of whole week there was listening to her talk about the culture and her family. Loved it.

The tour was excellent! Our driver Michael was very knowledgeable and pointed out plenty of landmarks. Adequate time was allotted for each part of the tour. Highly recommended!!

Henry was an awesome tour guide. The circle island tour was fantastic. All the activities at the Polynesian Cultural Cdnter were fantastic including the luau and night show.

This time, we went to Hawaii for the first time with our parents from both families to hold a local wedding ceremony. We wanted to create some memorable experiences to express our gratitude to our parents during our free time, so we booked a vow renewal and sunset cruise. We enjoyed dinner while cruising, watched a Hawaiian show, and had photos taken for each couple, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time.

The vow renewal ceremony itself was a first for our parents, and they seemed a bit shy about the idea of participating in such a ceremony. However, thanks to the open atmosphere of Hawaii, it all turned into a wonderful memory. By the way, I explained the vow renewal to our parents while we were having appetizers.

The ceremony could have been conducted for each couple separately, but we were able to do it for two couples at the same time. One slight disappointment was that our parents (and I) didn't understand much English, and the ceremony felt a bit rushed (perhaps because it was in between dinner?). Nevertheless, it was a valuable experience.

For now, the surprise was a success!!

The three-star atmosphere was lively, so it might be suitable for families. The meal portions and drinks were generous, and we left feeling full. The vow renewal could be a great surprise gift.

今回、現地挙式を行うため私達+私達両家の両親で初ハワイへ行ってきました。
フリータイムを有効に使って、何か両親への感謝を伝えられる思い出作りを???と･･･今回のバウ・リニューアル＆サンセット・クルーズを申し込みました。クルーズをしながらディナー、ハワイアンショーもみれて、カップルごとに写真も付いて、ゆったりとした時間を楽しめました。

バウ・リニューアルという儀式自体、両親達は初耳、まさか自分達がそんな儀式をするなんて
･･･ちょっと照れ臭かったみたいですが、ハワイの開放的な雰囲気のおかげで、全ては良い思い出になりました。ちなみに両親達にバウ・リニューアルについて、前菜を食べながら説明しました。
儀式はそれぞれの夫婦ごとに進めることもできたのですが、2カップル同時にさせていただきました。ちょっと残念なこととすると、親は(私も)そんなに英語が理解できなかった+儀式的にはあっという間(ディナーの合間なので？)ということでしょうか。でも、貴重な経験ができました
。
ひとまずサプライズ成功です!!

３スターは賑やかな雰囲気だったのでファミリーに向いているかもしれません。食事量も飲み物も２杯付いてお腹がいっぱいになりました。
バウ・リニューアルについては、サプライズプレゼントにいいかもしれませんょ。

I wanted to spend some relaxing time on the North Shore, so I joined this tour with a longer stay. The other two families besides us were planning to go horseback riding.

During the trip, they provided us with information on how to enjoy the North Shore and details about the shops, which was very helpful since we joined without any plans.

ノースショアでゆっくり過ごしたくて、

Historically speaking - it was great
Emotionally, however, the feeling of disappointment that the Arizona Memorial was not opened and still under construction was overwhelming. And, the price for the One Day Passport was not reduced for this inconvenience.

Since I was traveling alone, I participated with safety in mind. The timing was also very organized, so I could join without any worries. Along the way, I learned various interesting facts and even got to see turtles, which made me very satisfied! Haleiwa was amazing. If I had to say something negative, it would be that there wasn't enough time. Next time, I want to go to Kailua.

一人旅だったので、安全を考えて参加させていただきました。
時間もきちんとしていて、不安なく参加できました。道中、いろんな豆知識もきけたし、亀にも会えて大満足！
ハレイワ最高でした
難を言えば、時間が足りなかったかなぁ。
次回はカイルアに行きたいです

It was amazing definitely a must see show the culture was amazing and great to see

In the town of North Shore, I didn't have much time for sightseeing, but I was able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp and Matsumoto Shave Ice, recommended by our guide. As a beginner in horseback riding, I had some anxiety, but it was fun to appreciate the beautiful seaside scenery from the unique perspective of being on a horse's back. The horse seemed to be hungry and didn't always listen to me, which made it a bit challenging, but aside from nibbling on grass, it walked along the course without me needing to pull on the reins, making horseback riding surprisingly easy. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any sea turtles from the beach, but since I had some extra time, our guide took us to a popular coffee stand where I enjoyed a tasting, which made me feel like I got a little bonus.

ノースショアの町では観光というほど時間はありませんでしたが、ガイドさんおすすめの美味しいガーリックシュリンプとマツモトシェイブアイスを食べることが出来ました。乗馬は初心者なので、不安はありましたが、海辺のきれいな景色をお馬さんの背中という普段とは違った視点から堪能できて楽しかったです。馬がおなかを空かせていたようで、言うことをなかなか聞いてくれずに苦戦しましたが、草をつまみ食いしているとき以外は、手綱を切らずともコースを外れずに歩いてくれて、意外と簡単に乗馬が出来ました。ビーチからウミガメが見れなかったのが残念でしたが、時間に余裕があったため、ガイドさんが人気のコーヒーの直売所に連れて行って下さり、試飲を楽しめたため、少し得をした気分になれました。

Excellent Day, would have liked some more rugged OFF Road parts on trip

The shuttle driver was an expert at driving on tricky roads. It was great having water and a walking stick provided. And of course the scenery and waterfall were breathtaking.

This was my third time in Hawaii, and my first horseback riding experience! Initially, I was considering horseback riding at Kualoa, but I chose this place because I wanted to try the authentic garlic shrimp! As a result, I was thrilled to ride in the best location! The horses got distracted along the way and literally stopped to graze (~_~;), which was quite an amusing experience! Thank you to the friendly guide as well!

ハワイ3回目にして初めての乗馬❗️最初はクアロアで乗馬を考えていましたが、本場のガーリックシュリンプが食べたくてこっちにしました！結果最高のロケーションでの乗馬が出来て感激‼️お馬さん達は、途中食欲に負けて文字どうりの道草(~_~;)これも中々の面白い体験でした‼️親切なガイドさんもありがとう〜〜‼️

The activity was well worth the price as my nephew is a history buff an enjoyed the tour.. There was just one problem, two of the elevators were down on the USS Missouri and my nephew was on crutches and he could not cover the whole ship. My nephew still happy and enjoyed the tour guides knowledge.

This is one activity NEVER come to Wakiki and DO NOT GO TO. Even though we could not board the USS Arizona due to construction We got to go out in Nave vessels close as we could and being a veteran of Vietnam era I find it extremely touching each time I encounter this attraction. In 6 trips I have 6 visits.

This is a very nice cruise for the package you choose and the staff very friendly. My group of 21 had nothing but praise for the Crableg and steak package we chose. Water was calm and the cruise directors made you feel part of the activity by having everyone get involved.

Had a good experience at veltra cruise dinner on 2016 may 26.

I participated during free time.
I was with the horseback riding group.
I also spent about 30 minutes at the Dole Plantation. It was nice that it was not crowded since it was right after opening.
After that, I had free time on the North Shore. I think the timing was just right for enjoying the garlic chicken, visiting the original Kua 'Aina, and shopping.
Later, after visiting a few beaches to see sea turtles, I rejoined the horseback riding group and headed to Waikiki.
I felt that being able to sleep in the car on the way back was something you can only do on a tour.
The guide/driver had a very calm tone, which was nice.
Since it was hard to hear the name, I thought it would have been even better if there were name tags in the car.
I would like to participate again.

フリータイムで参加しました。
乗馬の方と一緒でした。
ドールにも30分ほどよりました。開店直後なので空いていてよかったです。
その後はノースショアのフリータイム。
フリフリチキンに、クアアイナの本店、買い物など、ちょうどいい時間だったと思います。
その後、ウミガメを見にいくつかビーチをまわったあと、乗馬の方と合流で、ワイキキへ。でした。
帰りの車で眠れたのはツアーじゃないとできないと思いました。
ガイドの運転手の方もとても穏やかな口調で良かったです。
名前が聞き取りにくかったので車に名札でもあると尚良かったと思います。
また参加したいです。

I signed up for the "Free Time Plan" with my colleagues at work. I had already visited Haleiwa several times, but the tours usually only offered about an hour of free time, which didn't allow for much freedom. However, this "Free Time Plan" provides about three and a half hours of free time, allowing you to go wherever you like at your leisure.

I strolled from Macky's Shrimp Truck to Haleiwa Beach Park, taking breaks at a café, having lunch, and shopping along the way. I truly enjoyed exploring Haleiwa from one end to the other! This is a convenient and excellent plan for those who want to go wherever they please without being tied to a tour schedule.

会社の同僚と「フリータイムプラン」に申込みました。
ハレイワは既に何度か訪れている街だったのですが、フリー時間が1時間程度のツアーばかりでなかなか自由が利きません。
しかし、この「フリータイムプラン」はフリー時間が3時間半程度あり、気ままに好きな場所へ行くことが出来ます。
マッキーズのシュリンプトラックからハレイワビーチパークまで散策しましたが、途中カフェで休憩をしたり、昼食をとったり、買い物をしたりと、まさにハレイワの端から端まで堪能できました！
ツアースケジュールに縛られず、好きなところへ行きたい方には手軽で最高のプランです。
