All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The guide was a very nice person, and I enjoyed the conversation and participation. The various stops along the way were also well arranged, which was great.

ガイドさんがとてもいい人で、話も楽しく参加させて頂きました。途中の立ち寄り先もいろいろアレンジして頂きよかったです。

AMAZING!!! The staff really made my day. They were not drones going on about the same old thing. They were excited, interested, helpful, and very good at talking to my 5 year old rather then ignoring his existence. I was beyond impressed and will be coming back many times.

Lots of fun! Worth to go there and they are very friendly =)

The passport is a fantastic way to see all of Pearl Harbor! Be prepared for a full-day, and definitely get there as early as you can. I was unable to secure a ticket to the USS Arizona online, so I arrived around 8:15 and got a ticket for 9:30, but the limited tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial were sold out by 11am, so get there early (especially in the summer)!

Since you cannot bring anything with you (other than what fits in your pockets) make sure to have some money for drinks and snacks and don't forget your camera! I'm not a huge WWII history buff, but it was a truly fascinating and moving experience being aboard the gleaming white memorial.

The USS Bowfin and Missouri are amazing if you have never been on a submarine or battleship before, and the Pacific Aviation Museum is excellent as well. This is definitely something I would recommend to any and all, just make sure to eat a good breakfast and wear comfortable shoes!

Mixture of comedy, interactive games,music, storytelling,dance and music. Well worth the money. Picture is a bit pricey

Sam was a wonderful friendly tour guide. I liked the flexibility of the tour, being able to do various activities and see many different things. The sea turtles were a highlight. I also enjoyed the history and personal anecdotes of the tour. It was the best part of my trip to Oahu.

The service was great! They accommodated our changes efficiently and we were able to work around our schedule. Our guide Theus was amazing and we shared quite a few laughs and good info during the entire tour. Highly recommend!! We had a great time!

I had a great time riding, but I noticed that there were many more trolleys from Japanese travel agencies, which made me question the convenience. I also felt that the closing time was a bit early.

楽しく乗りましたが、日本の旅行代理店のトロリーの方が多く見かけ、利便性に疑問を持ちました。
終了時間も早い気がします。

a good day, very enjoyable, the driver/host was informative.

I wanted to go horseback riding at Happy Trails but didn't have a way to get there, so I found this tour. It was a relief to be taken to the hard-to-reach Happy Trails. I don't need the doll or this tree, though... The guide was very pleasant, and I had a great time participating. I will use this service again when I go horseback riding.

ハッピートレイルズの乗馬がしたいが足がなく、このツアーを発見しました。
行きにくいハッピートレイルズに連れて行ってもらい助かりました。
なので、ドールとこの木は必要ないのですが。。
ガイドさんはとても感じの良い方で楽しく参加できました。
また乗馬の時は使わせていただきます。

Great show and very entertaining. Music and dances were fun, entertainers were very skilled. Everyone was pleasant and friendly. Food was only fair but I would go again anytime. The Chief was excellent!

The return bus had both Japanese and American passengers, but everyone was shocked by the driver's rough driving! He slammed on the brakes, and a small child sitting next to me fell from their seat to the floor... Of course, the child was crying, but the driver didn't seem to care at all. It was the worst. The foreigners around me were also worried and mentioned that this wouldn't happen in Japan. I experienced culture shock (＞＜).

As for Kualoa, there were many Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any trouble with the language. People of all ages, from young kids to the elderly, were there. However, there are age restrictions, so it's important to check the activity options.

帰りのバスは日本人＋アメリカ人でしたが、運転手の運転の荒さにはみんなびっくり！！
急ブレーキをかけるやら、となりに居た小さい子が座席から床へ。。。もちろん泣いていましたが、何も気にせず運転。最悪でした。周りにいた外人も心配してくれましたが、日本ではありえないねって話してました。カルチャーショックを受けました（＞＜）
クアロアについては、日本人ｽﾀｯﾌもたくさん居て、言葉に苦労しなかったです。若い子からお年寄りまでたくさん来てました。ただ、年齢制限があるので、アクティビティの選択は要チェックです。

Unlike Oahu, I was able to enjoy nature at a leisurely pace. Our guide, Sumako, was absolutely wonderful. She paid attention to everyone and guided us through the tour, making it enjoyable and pleasant. Thank you very much!

　オアフ島とはまた違って、ゆったりと自然を楽しむことが出来ました。ガイドのすまこさんが最高に良かったです。全員に気を配ってお話を進めてくださったので、楽しく気持ちよく観光できました。ありがとうございました！

Last May, when I went to Hawaii, I went on a dolphin tour, and this time I decided to go see whales. I went this year. The boat was large, and I didn't feel seasick, so it was comfortable. We were able to see whales off the coast of Waikiki. We caught glimpses of their backs a few times. Unfortunately, we didn't see any jumps or big tails, but I was moved by my first encounter with whales. If I get the chance again, I would like to challenge myself to go in the middle of winter.

昨年5月にハワイに行った時イルカのツアーに行って次はクジラを見に行こうということで今年行ってきました。船は大きくて船酔いもなく快適。ワイキキ沖でクジラを見ることができました。背中の一部が数回。流石にジャンプとか大きな尻尾は見ることはできませんでしたが、初めてのクジラ遭遇には感動しました。また機会があれば、真冬にチャレンジしたいと思います。

Fortunately, the weather was nice (though the wind was really strong), and we were able to see a few whales. However, it was indeed difficult to capture them with my iPhone. In the photos, they appear distant, but in reality, they were a bit closer. Filming was also challenging because it was hard to predict where the whales would appear. I missed several opportunities to actually see them because I was so focused on filming. At first, there were announcements indicating the direction to look, but by the time we were heading back, there were no announcements. Just before we arrived, we spotted a whale near the shore, but it's unclear how many people noticed it. There were free activities like lei-making and ukulele lessons on the first floor of the boat, so most people participated. My sister and I didn't join and were on the second or third floor, just gazing out at the sea. I think it was mentioned that the Star of Honolulu tends to sway, but I didn't get seasick. Since the meal wasn't included, we freely ate what we had bought at the supermarket. To be honest, I wished I could have seen more whales jumping out of the water. Lastly, I believe the shuttle service would have cost an extra $12, so we took The Bus number 19 to the event location. On the way back, there was a bus stop very close by, so we were able to return smoothly. (The return bus also had signs indicating stops at Ala Moana Center and Waikiki Beach.)

幸い天気にも恵まれ（風は凄く強かったが）クジラも少しみれた。ただiPhoneで撮影するのはやはり難しい。写真で見ると離れて見えるが実際はもう少し距離が近かった。ビデオ撮影もどこから出現してくるかわからないので、撮影が厳しかった。また撮影に夢中で実際に目でみる機会を何度か失ってしまった。始めのうちはアナウンスで何時の方向に見えると教えてくれるが、帰る頃はアナウンスがない。到着間際に岸の近くにクジラを発見した。ただ気づいた人がどれだけいるかは不明。無料でレイ作りやウクレレなど船の1Fで開催していたので、大抵の人たちが参加していた。私たち姉妹は参加せず2Fだったか3Fだったか?!にいて、海をぼーっと眺めていた。スターオブホノルル号は揺れやすいと掲載されていた気がするが、船酔いもしなかった。食事付きでなかったので、スーパーで買って来た物を自由に食べていた。欲を言えばもっとクジラが海の上に飛び跳ねてる姿を見たかったのが本音です。最後に送迎付きだとプラス$12くらいするはずだったので、ザ・バスの19番に乗って開催場所まで行った。帰りもすぐ近くにバス亭があるので、スムーズに帰れた。（帰りのバスもアラモアナセンターやワイキキビーチ行きとバスに表示が出ていたはず）

Shuttle got us there no problem. We enjoyed our time and it was helpful to have water & a map! Probably better than using a cab or bus.

Honolulu is hectic enough without worrying how to get places with traffic. The tour is great. The driver knew the ins and outs of the places we went and made our experience worthwhile. I'm glad we could keep our bags on the bus in between places, especially our packed lunch!

Ed was an awesome gentleman who did a great service for us. He was so knowledgeable and just an entertaining individual. Couldn't thank you enough for a great time.

Had a great time. We go to Hawaii once a year, and have gone on almost every tour. The best thing about this was the tremendous flexibility to do and swap activities. Not a "tourist" tour. Little fubar on scheduling, but the drive Harry made up for that. Time with Harry was as good or better than seeing the falls!!

It was a very impressive ship, and I was excited from the start! The leisurely cruise was very pleasant, and the captain pointed out the direction where we could see the whales, so we didn't miss the opportunity to see them. We were able to see multiple whales, and they put on various performances, leaving me in awe during my first whale watching experience!

とても立派な船で、最初からテンションが上がりました！
のんびりとクルーズする時間はとても心地よく、
船長さん？が、クジラの見える方角を言ってくださるので、タイミングを逃すことなく
見ることができました。
クジラも複数見ることができ、いろんなパフォーマンスを見せてくれ、
初めてのホエールウォッチングで感動しっぱなしでした！

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and I got the chance to attend the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park, under the Paradise Package. I usually don’t expect much from the food and drinks at these sorts of events, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good, especially considering that it is a buffet, and the drinks were not watered down. In regards to the show, it was absolutely fantastic. The cast performed dances from the various Polynesian Islands and the entire time, the Chief is telling jokes (the jokes contain a bit of innuendo) and making sure everyone is having a good time. There is a reason Chief Sielu performs all over the island, practically every day: not only is he a very skilled performer, but he is absolutely hilarious. I will definitely be coming again. Please note that the cast does pull members of the audience for different parts of the show, however, it is not the run-of-the-mill “let’s all dance at the end” type thing, they are actually part of the festivities.

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and boarded the Star of Honolulu, on the One Star package. The night started with a Mai Tai, which was quite strong (coming as a surprise to me as in my experience, “welcome drinks” tend to be very watered down), and we were taken to our table with our appetizers ready and waiting for us. The food was fantastic! I’m going to be honest; I had low expectations for the food. All you can eat crab on a ship, generally does not mean “high quality” to me. And boy was I proven wrong. The crab especially was very tasty, and my wife and I definitely took advantage of the “all you can eat” description. The show was also very fun to watch, with examples of dances of different styles from around Polynesia. The service from our waiter, Chad, was excellent as well: my water was never empty, empty plates were taken as soon as I was finished, and the crab kept coming. I’ve already suggested the Star of Honolulu to family members for when they visit.

It was very good. We used the shuttle from Aulani on February 27 with four children and three adults. We had a lot of fun. I recommend it. There were events on the boat, such as hula dance and ukulele workshops, which were enjoyable. It was unfortunate that the hula dance instructor felt sick from seasickness. However, the boat didn't sway as much as I expected. I think the lunch was reasonably priced.

Perhaps it was the right season, as we were able to see whales multiple times. Also, it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean perspective, as I had never seen them that way before.

In any case, the children were happy, and I highly recommend it!

とても良かったです．アウラニからの送迎で，子供４人大人３人で２月２７日に利用させていただきました．とても楽しかったです．お薦めです．舟の中では，フラダンスやウクレレの講習会などのイベントがあり，楽しませていただきました．フラダンスの先生が船酔いで具合悪かったのが，残念でした．とは行っても，舟は思ったほど揺れてませんでした．お昼の食事は，値段相応かと思います．
時季が良かったのでしょうか，クジラを何度も見られました．また，ワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドを海からの角度から見たことがなかったので，これもまた良かったです．
とにかく，子供も喜んでいましたし，お薦めです！！

I have been to Hawaii over a dozen times and have been to Haleiwa and Giovanni's. This time, I didn't rent a car, so I joined a tour. My main goal was horseback riding, but I was also looking forward to shopping and dining in Haleiwa.

The driver seemed to be a veteran, and while you could say he was experienced, I felt like he didn't understand the excitement we had for participating in the tour. For example, when I requested Giovanni's, he repeatedly said, "It was featured on TV," and everyone else went to Macky's. I also got the impression that he somewhat dismissed Matsumoto Shave Ice, and we ended up going there just the two of us.

We were able to see sea turtles at the first beach we visited, but due to the reason that we couldn't stop the car, we were told to "return to the car right after taking photos."

Horseback riding was very enjoyable and became a great memory.

ハワイには十数回行っており、ハレイワにもジョバンニにも行った事があります。
今回は車を借りなかった為、ツアーに参加しました。
第一の目的は乗馬でしたが、ハレイワでのショッピングも食事も楽しみでした。

ドライバーさんはベテランらしく、良く言えば慣れていて、悪く言えば楽しみに参加した
気持ちをわかって頂けないように感じました。
例えばジョバンニをリクエストすると、「テレビで紹介されたから」と何度も言われ、
私たち以外はマッキーズに行きました。
マツモトシェイブアイスについても何となく否定された感じで、私たちだけ走って食べに
行きました。
ウミガメは最初に寄ったビーチで会えましたが、車を止めておけないという理由で、
「写真を撮ったらすぐに車に戻るように」でした。

乗馬はとても楽しく、良い思い出になりました。

I have traveled to Hawaii countless times, but I had never been to Kauai Island, so I booked a day tour for the first time. The natural beauty of Kauai Island was very healing. Along the way, I accidentally dropped my cellphone somewhere, and I apologize for the trouble it caused to my fellow passengers and the driver.

ハワイ旅行は、数えきれないほど行っているのですが、カウアイ島に行ったことがなく、初めて一日観光を申し込みました。
自然の残るカウアイ島はとても癒されました。
途中、携帯電話を何処かに落としてしまい、同乗の方や運転手さんにご迷惑をおかけしてしまいた。

The morning started off with a leisurely pickup, and the bus was comfortable. The boat was very clean, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike!

I had heard in a post that we might only see small whales, so I honestly approached it with a cruising mindset, but we were fortunate enough to see mother and baby whales jumping one after another!

The lunch was delicious, and the afternoon workshops, including ukulele, hula, and lei-making, were fun and enjoyed by everyone.

At the end, they asked if there were any birthday celebrants or newlyweds, and when the honeymooners gathered in front, they sang Hawaiian songs with a guitar, creating a wonderful time for everyone to celebrate.

I highly recommend it!

朝もゆっくりピックアップで、バスも快適。
船もとてもきれいで、家族、カップル、友達同士どんな旅行でも

楽しめる内容でした！

投稿で『小さい鯨の姿が見える程度』と聞いていたので、正直
クルージング感覚で行きましたが、鯨の親子が次々にジャンプ！

とても恵まれていました。

ランチも美味しいし、午後のワークショップもウクレレ、フラ、レイ作りと
楽しく皆満喫していました。

最後には誕生日の方か新婚さんはいますかー？前に出てーっと言われて、
ハネムーナーが前に集まると、ギターでハワイアンソングを歌ってくれて、
みんなで祝福する素敵な時間となりました。

本当におすすめですよー

I'm glad you were able to hit the key points during your visit. I chose horseback riding, and it was fine even as a beginner. It was great to see the big turtle too.

ポイントを押さえて回っていただけたのでよかったです。乗馬を選びましたが、初めてでも大丈夫でした。大きな亀も見れてよかったです。

I had so much fun watching the whales that I lost track of time. I want to go again. Next time, I will bring binoculars. However, when it was time to take the bus back, I was late getting off the boat, so I had to look for the bus.

くじらを見ることに時間を忘れるほど
楽しかった。また、行きたい。今度は双眼鏡を持って行きます。ただ、帰りのバスに乗る時に、船から降りるのが遅かったので、バスを探しました

Since nature is the main factor, I didn't have overly high expectations, but I was able to see many whales and dolphins. I think I was just lucky. The price was also reasonable, and I was very satisfied. Additionally, I had no issues with seasickness, which was my biggest concern.

自然が前提なのであまり過度な期待はしなかったのですが、鯨も、そしてイルカもたくさん見ることができました。たまたまラッキーだったんだと思います。
お値段も安かったし、大満足です。
そして一番心配だった船酔いも全く問題ありませんでした。

It's surprisingly small, and since you can't see it up close, if you have too high expectations, you might think it's not much. When a whale is spotted, there will be an announcement in the direction it was seen, so I think it's important to dash and secure a good spot. If you don't make an effort to move, you might end up not seeing anything at all.

意外と小さいくて、あまり近くではみれないので、あまり期待し過ぎてるとこんなもんかと思ってしまいます。
クジラが見えたら見えた方向の放送がはいるので、ダッシュしていい場所が取れるかが重要だと思います。
頑張って移動したりしないと見れないで終わってしまったりもあり得ると思います。
