Oahu
Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!
For our three-generation trip, we chose the Pineapple Train.
We arrived 15 minutes late from the scheduled meeting time. Furthermore, there was a misunderstanding regarding the number of people, resulting in not having enough tickets for the Pineapple Train, which led to the need to go to the office to pick them up.
Next, we headed to the pickup location for my brother's family, but despite being past the meeting time, they were not at the designated spot. The driver kindly searched all over and even checked places that are often mistaken. Since we couldn't get in touch, they ended up driving to the hotel where we were staying. Embarrassingly, we were still at the hotel, and it was just a simple case of being late, but we ended up departing 30 minutes behind schedule. I truly apologize for that.
Despite the various troubles, the driver kept the atmosphere lively in the car, which I was really grateful for.
The Pineapple Train was peaceful and provided a relaxing time for adults. However, when I went to the restroom on the Pineapple Train, I lost track of time and couldn't go shopping. I also couldn't use the 15% off ticket that you receive when booking through VELTRA.
During the sea turtle watching at Alii Beach, they took us early considering the time the turtles would be on the beach, allowing us to see the turtles and take photos.
While exploring Haleiwa Town with kids, we spent most of our time at Matsumoto's Shave Ice and lunch, so there was no time to go to Giovanni's. We did have a little time for shopping, like buying an aloha shirt from Kahala.
In the car, the driver shared a lot about the sightseeing spots, making it a meaningful time. We were able to return to Waikiki by 3 PM.
三世代での旅行で、パイナップル列車を選択しました。
待ち合わせの時間より15分遅れての到着でした。さらに、人数が間違って伝わっており、パイナップル列車のチケット枚数が足りないため、事務所まで取りに行くという事態が発生しました。
次に、兄の家族のピックアップ場所に向かったのですが、待ち合わせの時間を過ぎていたにもかかわらず、指定の場所にいなかったため、あちこち探し回ってくれたり、よく間違えがちな場所にも見に行ってくれたり、連絡もつかなかったので、最後には滞在しているホテルにまで車をまわして頂きました。恥ずかしながらホテルにまだいており、単なる遅刻だったのですが、30分も出発時間に遅れることになってしまいました。本当に申し訳なかったです。
様々なトラブルがあったにもかかわらず、ドライバーの方は車内を盛り上げて下さり、本当にありがたかったです。
パイナップル列車はのどかで、大人が癒される時間でした。パイナップル列車に乗って、トイレに行くと時間はなくなってしまって、買い物はできませんでした。VELTRA予約時にもらえる15%オフのチケットを使うことができませんでした。
アリイビーチでのウミガメ鑑賞では、ウミガメが浜にいる時間を考慮して、先に連れて行ってくれたので、浜にいるウミガメを見ることが出来、写真を撮ることができました。
ハレイワタウンでの散策は子供連れだと、マツモトのシェイブアイスとランチでほとんど時間が無くなってしまったので、ジョバンニまで行く時間はなかったです。KAHARAのアロハシャツを買ったりと少しのお買い物の時間はありました。
車内ではドライバーの方が観光スポットをたくさん話してくれて、有意義な時間でした。15時にはワイキキに戻ってこれました。
The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.
We had fun and lots of interaction with performers. Chief is super. Great Shows, food and location
From the start this cruise was amazing, We checked in and got the royal treatment. Escorted to the upper deck where we were greeted by the captain and offered snacks and drinks. We were then seated and bring on the food, every dish was great. Brandon our server was great, he mad sure everything was to our satisfaction. The maitre d came and got us just before sunset and took us out on deck where the Captain was waiting and we renewed our vows. It was very romantic. I would do this again.
Myself and my husband could not fault the experience that we had when we renewed our wedding vows. The food was great, the staff were fantastic and the ceremony that was provided was private and personal - just what we wanted. It was the perfect end to the day.

I had such a wonderful time!
This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!
Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.
My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.
I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!
we found this luau great ,the view was amazing, the show wonderful ,shuttle bus staff fantastic our only problem was the food , we were the last table called up and some of the food had run out and also we didn't really like the food there just was not enough variety
Tony our bus driver was exceptional. He was informative of the Island. We were picked up at the Hiton Hawaiian and proceeded to Punch Bowl Cemetery. That was a beautiful resting place for the fallen. We then drove to Pearl Harbor and Tony walked in the Park with us, gave us are tickets and pointed out where we were to go and what time. Tony was very hands on with our group and very caring of our journey into Pearl Harbor.
After our visit to the Memorial of which I cried, actually it was very overwhelming to be there and fully felt a piece of history unfolding. Quite an experience, a must see if you go to Honolulu. We then had time to explore the gift shops and proceeded back to the bus, which Tony was waiting on us with mints and a hand towel to wash our hands. Tony is something else. We then started to our way back to the hotel drop off location.
Please don't use anyone but this group, the whole experience was OUTSTANDING.
Maholo,

My wife and I participated together. We joined without much expectation, but a humpback whale jumped right in front of us!! It was so exciting to see the tail slapping the surface of the water, and the dynamic jumps called breaching using its pectoral fins, just like we often see on TV!! How can you not be thrilled by this!!! The staff also said, "very very lucky!!" and were excited. It was a great tour.
妻と二人で参加しました。そんなに期待せずに参加しましたが、ザトウクジラが目の前でジャンプしました!!テレビでよく見る尾びれで海面をたたく、胸びれを使ってブリーチングと呼ばれるダイナミックなジャンプまで!!これが興奮せずに居られますか!!!スタッフさんも「very very lucky !!」と言って興奮してました。良いツアーでした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us.
It must have been exciting to see a humpback whale jump right in front of you! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience. As December approaches, we will soon welcome whale season. We hope you will come to see the whales again this season. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

There are so many attractions at Pearl Harbor from the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and USS Oklahoma Memorials. We recommend spending 6-8 hours to do the entire passport. We also recommend purchasing the docent tour led by volunteers at the Pacific Aviation Museum. Everyone respected all of the memorials and it was a great place to pay respects to those lost in a Pacific tragedy.
It was a long day but the time flew by as our tour guide/driver kept us entertained the entire day. We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family and we look forward to booking more tours the next time we're in Oahu!
Had a great time! We enjoyed ourselves on the tour :)...
This was one of the most enjoyable and informative tours I have been on, Tiffany was an excellent and knowledgeable host this tour offers more than the tour description indicates and includes detailed interesting natural fauna information. I can highly recomend this very enjoyable tour and is excellent value for money the shrimp meal was enjoyable. Well done Tiffany for making our day day an enjoyable one.
Aloha Eric,
Thank you for your great review, and awesome praise of Tiffany. We will be sure to let her know how much you appreciated her tour. We are thrilled you had a great day, and got an amazing experience with her knowledge and information. That is the Oahu Nature Tour Difference. We hope you join us on another one of our adventures the next time you are in Oahu.
Mahalo,

I participated in the garden tour at the Bishop Museum. I took the city bus, which took about 45 minutes, and arrived before the opening. The gate was open, so I relaxed in the garden and took some photos. The garden tour with a Japanese guide started at 9:15.
I learned about the names and origins of the plants, heard Hawaiian folklore, and had the unique experience of cracking kukui nuts and touching them, which I couldn't have done without the guide. The bracelet I made became my souvenir.
I highly recommend that after the garden tour, you don't leave right away but continue to spend time at the Bishop Museum. There are many hands-on exhibits where you can play and touch traditional Hawaiian instruments, making it a lot of fun for both kids and adults. The planetarium was also great.
ビショップミュージアムのガーデンツアーに参加してきました。
市バスに乗り、約45分。開園前に到着。ゲートは開いていたので、お庭でまったりして、写真を撮って。9時15分から日本語ガイドさんにて園内のガーデンツアー開始。
植物の名前や由来を聞いてハワイ昔話を聞いて、ククイナッツを割って実際に触るなど、ガイドさん無しでは出来ない体験をすることができました。作ったブレスレットは自分のお土産に。
ぜひ、オススメしたいのは、ガーデンツアーの後、すぐに帰らずに引き続き、ビショップミュージアムで過ごすこと。ハワイの伝統楽器の音を出したり、触ったり、体験型の展示が多いので、すごく楽しめます。子供も大人も。プラネタリウムも良かったです。
We participated as a couple with our sixth-grade son. First, we went to Moalua Garden, then to a coffee shop, and finally to Dole Plantation. We spent 30 minutes at Dole, which was enough time to eat soft serve ice cream and look at souvenirs. Next, we headed to a beach with turtles. There were only two swimming in the water, and they didn't come ashore.
We had a 60-minute meal time in Haleiwa Town. I had previously communicated my desire for Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp, and the guide took us to a restaurant, but it was disappointing that it wasn't Marukey's. I regretted not asking to go to Marukey's. Since it was before 11 a.m., we were able to buy the Huli Huli chicken quickly. The taste was just average.
For horseback riding, we walked in a line along a mountain path, but the scenery became monotonous halfway through, making the 90 minutes feel long. I was very disappointed that the photos taken by the local guide with my camera didn't turn out well. The horseback riding itself was fine for elementary school students, but I think the coastal course would have had better views.
The guide explained various things about Hawaii on the bus. While the information about history and current life was helpful, I honestly found the discussions about celebrities' private lives unnecessary and uninteresting.
夫婦と小学6年生の息子で参加しました。
最初にモアルナガーデン、次にコーヒー屋さん、ドールプランテーションへ。
ドールは30分の滞在、ソフトクリームを食べてお土産を見るのには十分でした。
次に亀のいる浜辺へ。海の中に2匹泳いでいるだけで上陸はしていませんでした。
ハレイワタウンで60分の食事時間。あらかじめ、フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプの希望を伝えるとガイドさんがお店に連れて行ってくれますが、マーキーズではないお店だったのが残念でした。マーキーズに行きたいと言えばよかったとちょっと後悔。フリフリチキンは時間が11時前だったせいかすぐに買えました。味はまあ普通です。
乗馬は、山道をずーっと隊列になって歩いて行きますが途中から景色が単調で90分が長く感じられました。現地のガイドさんに頼んだカメラの写真がうまく撮れていなくて非常に残念。
乗馬自体は小学生でも大丈夫でしたが、海辺のコースの方が眺めが良くてよかったかなと思いました。
ガイドさんがバスの中で色々とハワイの事を説明してくれます。歴史や現在の生活については為になりましたが、芸能人の私生活の話はプライベートなことですし興味がないので正直余計な話だと思いました。
This is what we came to see in Hawaii. It did not disappoint. The audio head set is a must. It kept us on time. It was a stormy rainy day - all day which didn't really matter it was very somber.
My only regret was that I didn't bring my lae that I received at the airport. You can throw flowers at the Arizona.
Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!
We spent 2 nights in Honolulu after a cruise so as we were short on time so this was the best way to see most of the Island. It was an amazing tour, very well organized and saw a lot of places we would never of seen on our own. Our guide Ernie was brilliant, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone staying on the Island.
It was just the two of us participating with a friend. At first, I was a bit anxious since we were the only Japanese people there, but there were no problems at all. The bus ride seemed like a sightseeing shuttle, and if you understand a little English, you can enjoy it. I've seen various Hawaiian shows before, but this one was quite fun. Participating in the evening and being able to return to the hotel around 9 PM is also appealing. If you have no plans in the evening, I definitely recommend going!
友達と二人参加でした。
日本人が、私たちしかいなく最初不安になりましたが、なんの問題も有りませんでした。
行きのバスは、観光付きの送迎のようで、多少英語が分かれば楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーも今まで色々のもの見てますが、かなり楽しいです。
夕方からの参加で、程よい9時頃ホテルに戻れるのも魅力です。
夕方から予定がないなら、ぜひいったほうがいいですよ。
I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal crab legs and steak!! N fireWorks at the end of the night was great too
I was nervous before riding the horse, but the smart horses gave me a wonderful time. They worked hard to climb steep hills and skillfully avoided muddy areas, making the 90 minutes fly by without any scary moments. The guide also made great use of our time, showing us various places and preparing meals, which made us very happy. My family and I are talking about wanting to participate again!
馬に乗る前は緊張していましたが、賢い馬たちに、楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
かなり急な坂を頑張って登ってくれたり、ぬかるみを上手に避けて歩いてくれて、怖い思いをすることなくあっという間の90分でした。
ガイドの方も時間をうまく使って、色々なところに案内してくれたり、食事の準備を下さって大変うれしかったです。また参加したいね~と家族みんなで話しています。
The guide was helpful and quite friendly. Love the trip in total.
Excellent! This tour went above and beyond our expectations. Amy & Zoom, our tour guides were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw many sights from the show, including the McGarrett home and inside the Aloha Stadium. There were some other great surprises too! We would highly recommend this tour to 5-0 fans.
Rain excluded all views. Otherwise nice hike. Driver courteous and informative
I signed up for canyon horseback riding, but due to bad weather, it was canceled and changed to a seaside course. While the weather is no one's fault, I was really looking forward to it, so it's disappointing. However, I was glad that I could still go horseback riding on the seaside course. Thank you to the guide for being so kind. I will try canyon horseback riding again next year.
渓谷乗馬を申し込みしましたが、天候が悪くキャンセルになり海辺コースに変更になりました。天候は誰の責任ではありませんが、楽しみにしていただけに残念です。しかし海辺コースでも乗馬が出来たので良かった。ガイドさんも親切にして頂きありがとうございました。来年また渓谷乗馬に再挑戦します。
Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!
If you are a fan of the show, I highly recommend this tour - Zoom & Amy are great tour guides - they "know people who know people"! We got to meet Duke and he was such a down to earth person. Thanks so much for a wonderful day!
If you are a five-0 fan you will enjoy this tour, it is a lot of traveling in cars from one location to the next, but the guides try hard to make it really worth it. We were lucky enough to visite the Aloha stadium and make it to the McGarrett house and there was a special surprise.
What a site to see, I loved every bit of this activity.
