All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

During my first visit to Hawaii, I signed up for this tour. First, we visited Hanauma Bay. The weather was nice, and the view from above was very beautiful! Next, we went to the Moanalua Gardens to see the "This is the Tree" tree. I had always wanted to see it, and when I finally stood in front of the tree, it was breathtaking! Although the sun was strong, it felt cool under the tree, and it was so comfortable that I could have stayed there for hours.

The Polynesian Cultural Center offered various cultural experiences, all of which were fresh and enjoyable. For the evening show, I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide, so even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy it. The final fire dance was breathtaking and spectacular. This tour is definitely worth experiencing at least once!

初めて訪れたハワイで、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
まずはハナウマ湾を見学。天気が良かった事もあり、上から見た眺めはとても美しかったです！
次に、この～木なんの木♪のモアナルアガーデンへ。一度は見てみたいと思っていたので、いざ木を目の前にした時は圧巻でした！日差しが強かったですが、木の下に入ると涼しく感じ、何時間でも居れるような心地よさでした。
またポリネシアカルチャーセンターは、様々な民族の体験ができ、どれも新鮮で楽しむことができました。
夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずとも楽しむことができました。最後のファイアーダンスは息を飲むような迫力で素晴らしかったです。一度は体験してみる価値があるツアーでした！

You can't stay in Honolulu without seeing this magnificent tribute to the fallen military men and women of WWII. After attending a short film that told of December 7, 1941, we were then shuttled by boat to the Arizona. The sunken battleship still has oil that is leaking out of the tanks of the ship which you can actually smell. After this part of the tour, we went by bus to the USS Missouri where the treaty was signed with Japan. This was also very moving. As we headed back to Waikiki, we went by the Punchbowl Cemetery, China Town and got to see the State Building where the statue of King Kamehameha stands in front. This is the first thing that you see in the Hawaii 5 0 show when it starts. This is a great tour, and has all the must sees!

Was everything that we expected and much more. Good food, great entertainment and a lot of fun. My husband and I went on this fabulous cruise not only for dinner and entertainment but for the beautiful sunset that occurs off the shores of Oahu. Would highly recommend this for everyone...couples, families, and singles!

We all had a great time as a family. During the horseback riding, several staff members accompanied us and provided solid support for the children, which made us feel secure, and we were satisfied with the ample riding time. Additionally, we stopped by a few shopping spots recommended by our guide, where we were able to purchase some great deals. Even during the car ride, we had various conversations and were never bored. However, it would have been nice if they had spoken a bit more slowly. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate once more.

家族みんなで楽しめました。乗馬ではスタッフが何人か付き、子供をしっかりサポートしてくださったので、安心でしたし、乗馬時間もたっぷりで満足出来ました。また、ガイドさんおすすめのショッピングスポットに数か所寄っていただき、お買い得な品々を購入することが出来ました。車中でも、色々なお話をしてくださり退屈しませんでした。ただ、もう少しゆっくり話してくださった方が良かったかな。ハワイに行くことがあれば、また参加したいです。

My husband is a history buff so he was able to expand on the information provided by the tour guide and my children learned a lot. Very informative and interesting. I would recommend this to anybody wanted to learn more about American history! Enjoy!

P.S. Make sure to wear good walking shoes.

Great boat, Great food we had the steak and lobster. Beautiful dancing and entertainment.If your in the area I recommend this for any one.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

This was a great and informative guide. Our tour guide knew more about the island then I ever did. Kids got tired on bus so they fell asleep near the end. I was very happy and enjoyed it very much.recommend to bring something for small children to snack on and drink aswell as somwthing to do while on the bus. Over great time.

If you go on this tour, ask for bus 738. Patrick was our driver and guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgable and showed us a lot of interesting things and explained to us what we were being shown. When it came time for the tour Patrick had a handle on the process and made sure we knew what was expected during the actual memorial tour. Great job Royal Star!

If you start well, you will end well.
After horseback riding on the afternoon of the 13th, we enjoyed canyon horseback riding on the final day of our trip in the morning.
Some people might say, "Is it really that fun?" but we found it enjoyable. My grandchild was in high spirits riding the same horse, "Kahlita," as on the 13th.
The horseback riding experience begins right outside the hotel, and we were fortunate to have a tour guide named "Nakama."
While you could just rent a car for horseback riding, having a knowledgeable tour guide who knows everything about Hawaii makes the activity much more memorable.
Additionally, I am very grateful for how accommodating they were to our requests.
1. Excellent time management
2. Thoughtful attention to guests, which is highly appreciated.
3. Rich knowledge and wide connections with celebrities
From what I remember, the tour guide "Nakama" didn't seem to like shrimp, but he responded to the guests' requests and ordered garlic shrimp from Macky's for everyone to take out, allowing us to use our time effectively.
I look forward to enjoying canyon horseback riding again next time.

　始めよければ終わりも良し。
　１３日午後からの乗馬に続き、旅行最終日に午前からの渓谷乗馬が取れたので楽しんでみました。
　え！そんなに楽しいのと言う人もいますが、私たちは、楽しいです、孫は、　１３日と同じ馬「カリータ」に乗って上機嫌でした。
　乗馬の始まりは、ホテルを出たところから始まりますが、ツアーガイドの　「ナカマさん」という方にも恵まれました。
　乗馬だけならレンタカーで行けば事足りるのですが、やはり、ハワイのことならまかしとけ、というような物知りのツアーガイドの方と一緒にアクティビティをできることは、旅の想い出を何倍にも増やせますね。
　さらに、リクエストにも快く応えて大変感謝しております。
１　時間の配分が上手
２　ゲストに対するきめ細やかな心遣いが好感度大です。
３　知識が豊富なのと、知名人との裾野が広い
等々でした。
　私の記憶だと、ツアーガイドの「ナカマさん」はエビが好きでなかったように記憶していますが、ゲストのリクエストに応えてくれ、マッキーのガーリックシュリンプをみんなの分、テイクアウト注文してくれていて、時間を有意義に使えました。
　また次回も渓谷乗馬たのしみたいです。

Horseback riding included both descending and ascending mountains, with some thrilling moments. It allowed for a sense of adventure in nature, and the view of the sea from the mountains was refreshing. The riding time was quite long, making it enjoyable for beginners. The local woman who explained the horseback riding was friendly and helpful.

The information provided by the Japanese male driver added great value, and the coffee farm we stopped at was enjoyable. The lunch bento was also well-prepared, resulting in a high level of satisfaction.

乗馬は山下り山登りがあってひやひやする局面もあり、自然の中で冒険心が発揮され、山から海が見えて気持ち良く、乗馬時間も結構長く確保され、初心者にとっては十分楽しめる。乗馬説明の現地女性もフレンドリーでよかった。

日系男性ドライバーの方から提供される情報の付加価値が高く、途中立ち寄ったコーヒー農園も楽しく、昼食の弁当も上手く、満足度高かった。

This tour was great. We experienced in a way we wouldn't have because of the vast knowledge of our driver Coco who made it that much better. I highly recommend to get a well rounded understanding of beautful Oahu!!

The guide for the shuttle service was chatty and fun. I was a bit anxious about horseback riding, but the horse was well taken care of, so it was great. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go again. I don't really like shrimp, but the shrimp lunch was delicious. The pineapple ice at Dole Plantation was enough for two to share, and it was not overly sweet, making it delicious. It was the best day ever.

送迎のガイドさんは、お喋りで楽しかったです 。乗馬は、少し不安だったけど手入れもいきとどいた、お馬さんだったのでよかったです。また、行くきかいがあったら行きたいと思います。エビはあんまり好きじゃなかったけれどシュリンプランチは美味しかったです。ドールプランテーションのパイナップルアイスは二人で一つで食べれるし、しつこくない甘さで美味しかったし最高の一日でした

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

I participated because I wanted to ride a horse.
There were some sightseeing stops along the way, but the driver was Japanese and managed everything very efficiently, keeping track of time perfectly.
I thought I would only be able to enjoy either the garlic shrimp or the huli huli chicken, but I was able to enjoy both within the limited time.
However, regarding the horseback riding, I searched for a tour that was suitable for advanced riders, but I ended up with beginners, so we only walked for 90 minutes...
That was the only disappointing part.
Because of that, I wanted to give it 5 stars, but I gave it 4 instead.
The driver deserves 5 stars, though!

馬に乗りたくで参加しました
途中観光などありましたがドライバーさんが日本人で
すごく段取りよく効率よくキッチリ時間管理してくれたので
ノースでどちらかしか無理だと思っていた
ガーリックシュリンプもフリフリチキンも時間のない中、両方楽しむ事ができました
ただ乗馬に関してだけ
上級者でもＯＫの乗馬ツアーを探して参加したのに初心者と一緒になってしまった為
９０分歩いただけ…
それだけが残念でした
なので★５つにしたいところを４にしました
ドライバーさんは★５ですｗｗ

We love the dancers and the stories! It was awesome!

Very fun. Dinner was amazing. Show was amazing, crew was amazing. Very fun and I will do this again when I come back to Oahu.

This is a must do. Very fun, SOOO much stuff to do. You will not be able to do everything so look through your map and do the stuff you want to do. They do allow you to go back to the park for free for the next 3 days (just don't get to watch the show or eat) to do the other activities if you have time.

This was very educational and fun. We had a great time and highly suggest getting the audio guide. It is worth it.

Tour was great! Amy did a great job driving us around and knew EVERYTHING and ANYTHING about the show. She provided us so much information and answered whatever questions we had. My son and I went on this tour and we had a great time! Got a lot of great pictures!

The first stop was at Dole, and it seemed to be just before opening, so we headed to the shop as soon as it opened! We were able to buy without waiting in line. I had pineapple juice the other day, so this time I went for a float, but the soft serve was quite substantial and didn’t float! (We shared one between two people, but it was still a bit heavy for the morning.)

I was able to see a sea turtle just poking its head out of the water. I wasn't expecting much, but it was nice to see it after all.

It was a sunny day with strong sunlight. Even though it’s a valley, the sun shines through, so sunscreen is a must. There’s no requirement to wear helmets (the kids borrowed some, so I think those who are anxious can probably borrow one), but I wished I had brought a hat. During the horseback riding, you can’t carry bags or anything. They provide a kind of bag for valuables (I’m not sure what to call it), so I just put my digital camera and wallet in there and hung it on the horse. The horse was very gentle, and as a beginner, I didn’t feel scared at all while riding. The 90 minutes included explanations and such, so we were actually riding for just over an hour. It went by in a flash. The staff spoke a bit of Japanese, and while riding, if the horse seemed to want to stray, they would give instructions like, “Left, left! Kick, kick!” It made me think that it all works out somehow.

There were 11 participants in total, including 7 from the tour and 4 others. The horse I was riding was very well-behaved and hardly strayed at all. I was worried about dropping my camera, so I didn’t take any pictures while riding, but at the end, we had a chance to take photos at a beautiful spot with a view of the ocean.

For lunch, the garlic shrimp was arranged by our guide for takeout, and they also arranged a place for us to eat, so we could enjoy it in a relaxed setting. The guide provided explanations about various places and plants during the drive (a bit fast-paced!), and I was happy to have a little sightseeing as well. Since there were many people for the horseback riding, we were a bit behind schedule, but thanks to the takeout for lunch, we managed to finish almost on time.

I realized that while the beach is nice, other activities are great too, and this tour really highlighted that.

最初に立ち寄ったドールは、オープンより少し前だったようで、オープンと同時に売店へ！
並ぶことなく買えました。先日パイナップルジュースを飲んだので、今回は、フロートにしましたが、ソフトクリームがかなりのボリュームで、浮いてなかった！
（２人で１つを食べましたが、それでも朝からちょっとヘビーでした）

ウミガメはちょっとだけ海面から頭を出したところをみることができました。
そんなに期待してなかったけど、見れるとやっぱりうれしいものですね。

この日は晴れて日差しの強い日でした。渓谷といっても日差しが差し込みますので、日焼け止め必須です。
ヘルメットの着用はないので（お子さんは借りていたので、多分、不安な方は貸してもらえると思います）、帽子をもってくればよかったな、と思いました。
乗馬中はバッグ等は持てません。貴重品等を入れるバックみないなもの（なんて言うのか分からない）を借していただけますので、その中にデジカメやお財布だけ入れて、馬にかけておきます。
馬はとてもおとなしく、私は、乗馬初心者ですが、乗っていても全然怖くなかったです。
９０分丸々乗馬をしているのではなく、説明等も含めての９０分。
実質乗っていたのは１時間強かな。あっという間でした。
スタッフの方は片言の日本語ができて、乗馬中、馬が寄り道しそうになると「左、左！蹴る、蹴る！」といった感じで指示してくれます。何とかなるものだなぁと思いました。

ツアーの７名とツアー以外の方４名の計１１名が参加。
私の乗っていた馬はとてもお行儀がよく、途中でほとんど寄り道をすることもなかったです。
カメラを落とす不安があったので乗馬中は自分では写真を撮りませんでしたが、最後に、海が見えるきれいな景色のところで撮っていただきました。

昼食のガーリックシュリンプは、ガイドさんがテイクアウトできるよう段取りしてくださり、食べる場所もアレンジしてくださったので、のんびりとした中で食べることができました。
ガイドさんはドライブ中も色々と通る場所や植物の説明をしてくださり（ちょっと早口！）、ちょっとした観光もできてうれしかったです。
乗馬の人数が多かったので、少し時間が押してましたが、ランチのテイクアウトなどで時間が短縮できたのか、最後はほとんど予定通りの時間に終わりました。

ビーチもいいけどそれ以外のアクティビティもいいなぁと実感できたツアーでした。

The horseback riding experience was a bit disappointing. There was a paper on the wall in Japanese explaining how to ride and what to be careful about, so that was fine, but the scenery wasn't that great. At one point with a nice view, the guide was only explaining to another English-speaking group, and at that time, we hadn't even reached that spot yet. By the time we got there, there was no explanation, and we couldn't even stop, which was unfortunate. From start to finish, we just walked in a line.

乗馬は、少しガッカリでした。乗馬の仕方や注意点は日本語で書いた紙が壁に貼ってあるので大丈夫でしたが、景色がさほどいいわけでもなく、一か所見晴らしの良い所では、英語でもう１つの英語圏のグループにのみに説明していてしかも、その時は私達は、まだその位置に着いてないし、その位置に着いたときは、説明どころか、たちどまれず残念です。最初から最後までただただ一列になって歩いただけでした。

The guide was incredibly friendly, and I had a great time throughout the experience. I've tried horseback riding in various places, but this time I was surprised that we rode thoroughbreds used for polo without bits. They were very well cared for and such cute, smart horses. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the nature of Waimea Valley and the views of the North Shore for a full 90 minutes. It was truly beautiful, and the breeze was refreshing, so I definitely plan to come back here next time! Also, the Dole pineapple ice cream, shave ice in Haleiwa Town, garlic shrimp, huli huli chicken, and burgers were absolutely delicious!

ガイドの方がとにかく親しみやすい感じで終始たのしく過ごせました。色々な場所で乗馬を体験してきましたが、今回はポロ競技用のサラブレッドで、はみをしていないのには驚きました。とても手入れが行き届いてお利口なかわいい馬でした。90分もたっぷりとワイメア渓谷の自然とノースショアの海の眺めを楽しむことができました。本当にきれいで、風も涼しく次回も必ずここにしようと思います！そしてドールのパイナップルアイス、ハレイワタウンのシェイブアイス、ガーリックシュリンプ、ふりふりチキン、バーガーは最高においしかったです！

We used Platinum limos for getting our guests to and from our wedding and the driver was absolutely fantastic!! The groom who was a wee bit nervous was able to sit in the front and the driver chatted and kept him calm the whole way, waited very patiently throughout the wedding and was a very lovely man. Unfortunately I did not think to get his name in all the madness but he was wonderful!! Even though we were a little over time, he didn't stress us about it. Really great service, nice limo and a brilliant surprise for our wedding guests, would absolutely use this company again. =)

I went on a trip to Hawaii with my parents to create memories. It was a great place with beautiful nature. It's good because both children and adults can enjoy it. The food wasn't delicious.

両親を連れてのハワイ旅行
思い出作りに行って来ました
大自然の良い場所でした
子供から大人まで楽しめるので良いです。
ご飯は美味しくない

In the morning, I was guided to the main tourist spots in Oahu and enjoyed the breathtaking views. The Dole pineapple soft serve was also very delicious.

In the afternoon, we had lunch at the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was a buffet, but the taste was... well, it was just something to fill the stomach. After lunch, we toured the center with a Japanese guide, but the breaks were short, and there were few shaded areas and benches, so families with small children should be cautious. I was really thirsty.

However, I thought it was great to experience various attractions like making Hawaiian leis and riding a canoe. For dinner, the buffet had more variety and tasted a bit better than lunch. We moved to the show venue and were impressed by the performance, which exceeded our expectations. I didn't understand any English, but I could somewhat grasp the story. The final fire show is a must-see.

After that, we returned to Waikiki by bus, arriving after 10 PM. For those visiting Waikiki for the first time, this might be a tour worth participating in.

午前中はオアフの主要観光スポットを案内してもらい絶景を楽しむ事ができました。
ドールのパイナップルソフトもとても美味しかったです。
そして午後はポリネシア文化センターにてまず昼食。
ビュッフェ形式ですが、味は？？？取りあえずお腹に入れるという感じです。
ランチ後センター内を日本語ガイドと共に回るのですが
休憩も短く、日陰やベンチが少ないので小さい子供さん連れはご注意を。
とにかく喉が渇きました。
ただ、ハワイアンローズを作成したり、カヌーに乗ったりと
いろいろなアトラクションを経験出来たのは良かったと思います。
そして夕飯のビュッフェ。昼よりは種類も多く味も少し良かったかも。
ショー施設に移動し噂以上のパフォーマンスに感激。
英語が全く分かりませんでしたがストーリーはなんとなくわかりました。
最後のファイアーショーは必見。
その後再びバスにてワイキキへ戻ります。
帰りは２２時過ぎでした。ワイキキが初めての方には一度は参加してもいいツアーかもしれません。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but the chief's talk in this show was very interesting, and I would like to participate again.

ハワイには何回も来ていますが、このショーのチーフのトークがたいへん面白くてまた参加したいと思いました。

I participated with him. I was impressed by this tree! The soft serve ice cream at Dole Plantation was incredibly delicious.

The Happy Trails horseback riding experience was thrilling with ups and downs in nature, and we could see the ocean, making the 90 minutes fly by. The horses were all well-behaved, which made me feel safe while riding.

During the sightseeing on the way there and back, the driver shared various stories while driving, and I felt the spirit of hospitality as I listened to so many interesting tales. I was impressed by the wealth of information about Hawaii's history, plants, and even celebrities coming from Japan. For lunch, I had the garlic shrimp at Macky's, which was truly delicious and made me very happy.

I only got to see the sea turtles swimming. Additionally, since the travel time was smooth, we also stopped by Matsumoto Shave Ice, a coffee farm, and a soap factory. Although the time spent at each place was short and quite hectic, I had a very fulfilling and enjoyable day. Thank you very much.

彼と2人で参加しました。この木なんの木に感動！ドールプランテーションのソフトクリームがすごく美味しかったです。
そしてハッピートレイルズは自然の中のアップダウンありで海も見えたり飽きないコースでドキドキしながら90分の乗馬体験はあっという間でした。おりこうさんな馬ばかりで安全に乗れて安心しました。
行き帰りの観光では、ドライバーさんが運転しながらもずっと色々な話をしてくれて、本当に疲れるのではないかと思うほどたくさんのお話を聞けおもてなしの心を感じました。ハワイの歴史から植物、また日本からくる芸能人の情報なども豊富で感心しました。お昼はマッキーズのガーリックシュリンプを食べましたが本当に美味しくて感動して幸せでした。
ウミガメは泳いでるところだけ見れました。
また、移動時間がスムーズだったので松本シェイブアイス、コーヒー農園とソープファクトリーにも寄ってくれました。一つの場所の滞在時間が短くてかなり慌ただしくもありましたがとても充実した楽しい一日を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I could only see the whale's fins and tail, but the deep blue, beautiful sea was stunning! Also, there were so many people that when the whale appeared, everyone crowded to that side, so I couldn't take many photos of the whale!

クジラは手や尾しか見れなかったのですが、真っ青で綺麗な海がとてもきれいでした！
また、人数がとても多くてクジラが現れるとそっち側に皆が寄るのでクジラの写真はあまり撮れなかったです！

A really fantastic morning spent at Pearl Harbour and sightseeing around Honolulu. Our driver was fantastic and very informative.
The Arizona memorial is truly thought provoking and really brings home the horror of war
