All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

I was able to see the whale perfectly. I'm also satisfied with the ray I created. However, I was surprised by how expensive the parking fee was.

くじらは、バッチリ会う事ができました。
レイも作成して、満足です。
ただ、ﾊﾟｰｷﾝｸﾞ代の高いこと、びっくりしました。

This cruise was def. something worth seeing! It gets a little chilly out on the ocean; should bring a jacket, but it def. was amazing and beautiful! I totally recommend it to anyone!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales this time, but I did get to see dolphins. There were a few people who joined alone, so it's a tour that you can easily participate in. Next time, I definitely want to see whales in person!!

残念ながら今回はクジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、イルカを見ることはできました。一人で参加の方も数名いましたし、気軽に参加できるツアーです。次回こそはクジラを生で見てみたいです！！

The cruising this time was blessed with good weather, and we even encountered whales off the coast of Diamond Head, making it the best event. My family who participated together was very satisfied. I understood that the limited variety of food at the buffet was acceptable given that it was on a ship. I also appreciated the somewhat hesitant Japanese explanations. After the whale encounter, there were activities on board like hula dance lessons, ukulele lessons, and lei-making experiences, ensuring that passengers were not bored, which made for a fun time.

今回のクルージングでは好天に恵まれ、またダイヤモンドヘッド沖でクジラにも遭遇でき、最高のイベントとなりました。
一緒に参加した家族も大満足です。
ビュッフェでの料理で食材の種類が限られるのも、船内でのビュッフェということで納得。
たどたどしい日本語の解説も好感が持てました。
クジラとの遭遇が終わった後も、船内ではフラダンス講習、ウクレレ講習、レイの手作り体験等、乗客が退屈しないような取組みがされており、楽しい一時でした。

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, and I finally got to visit Hanauma Bay. The views were amazing, and snorkeling was fun. The steep path to the beach was easy to navigate with the bus included in the Alan Wong tour. On the last day, I went again and was even more impressed. I want to go to Hanauma Bay again next time.

ハワイ４回目で初めて行けたハナウマ湾。素晴らしい眺望とシュノーケルは楽しかった。海岸までの急な坂道もアランワンのツアーなら、バス付きで楽々往復できました。最終日のもう一度行ってさらに感動。次も、また、ハナウマベイに行きたいです。

The weather was nice, and I had high hopes, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it this time. I hope for the next time. The chicken tandoori was delicious.

天気もよく期待していたのですが今回は残念ながら見ることが出来ませんでした。次回に期待したいと思います。食事はチキンタンドリー美味しかったです。

I participated with my mother, my sisters, and my aunt. I signed up so that my mother and aunt, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, could truly experience it. On the day of the event, my mother and aunt got the time wrong and arrived about 30 minutes late, but the staff were very accommodating, and it didn't affect the rest of the schedule.

The activities included making leis and hula lessons, but thanks to the staff's arrangements, we also got to pick and crack open kukui nuts, which was an experience you can't find elsewhere. The teachers were exceptional, providing instruction that you wouldn't normally receive, and my beginner mother and aunt were very pleased. By the evening, they were so engrossed that they were reviewing what they learned at the hotel.

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of sightseeing, shopping, and gourmet food, but I believe participating in a tour like this, where you can touch on Hawaii's history and culture, will create wonderful memories. While going with friends is great, I think participating as a parent-child duo allows for unexpected discoveries and strengthens bonds.

It was a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much. However, while they do provide water, it's just a paper cup's worth per person, so I think it's better to bring your own bottle.

母と私達姉妹とおばと４人で参加しました。ハワイが初めての母と叔母にハワイを感じてほしくて申し込みしました。当日母達が時間を間違えて３０分程遅れてしまいましたが、スタッフの方の対応もよくてその後のスケジュールにも支障がでずに済みました。
内容はレイ作りとフラレッスンでしたが、それ以外にもスタッフの方の計らいでククイの実を拾って割ってみたりと他では体験出来ないような内容です。
レイとフラは先生も普段では、教えていただけないよな先生にきちんと教えて頂き初心者の母や叔母もとても喜んでいました。夜にはホテルで復習するほどに夢中になっていました。
ハワイというと観光、買い物、グルメと思いますが、ハワイの歴史や文化にふれあうこの様なツアーに参加してみるのもとてもいい思い出になると思います。
友達同士もいいけど親子で参加すると意外な発見や絆を感じることが出来ると思います。
とても大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
ただ、お水を頂けるのですが、一人一本のボトルではなく紙コップ一杯の水なのでマイボトルを持参したほうがいいと思います。

I participated on December 23rd. Since it was December, I thought I might not encounter any whales, but I was able to see whales several times, which was enjoyable.

12月23日に参加しました。12月なので、クジラに遭遇出来ないかも知れないと思っていましたが、何度かクジラを見ることが出来て楽しかったです。

Kauai Island, the last stop after conquering Maui and Hawaii Island...

I knew it was rural, but there are hardly any traffic signals!

However, the stories from our guide, Mr. Abe, who is married to a second-generation Japanese American, were fascinating.

It's a mysterious island where Shabo chickens roam freely!

I recommend it for those who want to relax.

マウイ島、ハワイ島を制覇して最後に訪れたカウアイ島・・・

田舎とは分かっていましたが、やはり信号もほとんどありません！

でも日系二世に嫁いだガイドの阿部さんの話が面白かった。

シャボ種のニワトリが闊歩する不思議アイランドですね！

のんびりしたい人にはお勧めです。

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

Other than having my camera stolen at our pick up point, the tour was wonderful and our tour guide was most informative. We learned much more than we would have had we gone out there by ourselves. The tour of Honolulu was also very interesting and, again, our tour guide was most informative.

Sorry, no pictures to post - so sorry I couldn't take pictures.

I'm glad I could thoroughly experience the standard course. The shaved ice at Matsumoto was delicious.

定番コースをじっかりと体験できて良かった。マツモトのかき氷はおいしかった。

We took a dinner cruise on the last night to celebrate my parents' 60th birthday and wedding anniversary.

First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink, ukulele music, and hula dancing as we boarded the ship. The staff's service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese.

During the vow renewal, the captain acted as the officiant, offering congratulatory words and reciting the vows of love. We brought leis in advance and exchanged them with my parents. It was a wonderful experience to reaffirm their love and support for each other.

After us, a young foreign couple also had a vow renewal ceremony. Following that, we enjoyed champagne while taking photos with the captain and our family. The sunset was incredibly romantic.

The food was average, but the champagne included in the package, as well as the cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails available with coupons, were very Hawaiian and delicious. The jazz performance was lovely as well.

It might be a good idea to take something for motion sickness. We used a limousine for transportation. Since we don't usually ride in limousines in Japan, it was a great experience.

Although the price is a bit high, it was perfect for the celebration, and my parents were very happy.

両親の還暦祝いと結婚記念日祝いの為、最終日の夜にディナークルーズを利用させていただきました。
まずウェルカムドリンクとウクレレ、フラダンスに迎えられ、船に乗り込みます。
スタッフのサービスも良かったです。日本語が出来るスタッフもいました。
バウリニューアルでは、キャプテンが結婚式の神父様の役割をしてくださり、お祝いの言葉と、愛の誓いを言ってくれます。
レイは事前に用意して行き、両親に交換してもらいました。これからも愛し合い、助け合って行くことを再認識できるので、とても良かったと思います。
私たちの後に、若い外国の方がバウリニューアルしていました。
その後シャンパンを飲みながらキャプテンと家族で写真を撮ってもらえます。
サンセットはとてもロマンチックでした。
料理は普通でしたが、パックについていたシャンパンや、クーポンで飲むことが出来るカクテル、ノンアルコールカクテルがハワイらしく、味もとても美味しかったです。
ジャズ演奏もステキでした。
乗り物酔いは飲んだほうが良いかもしれません。
送迎はリムジンを利用しました。日本では乗ることがないので、良い体験ができました。
少し料金は高くなりますが、お祝いにはぴったりです。両親にとても喜んでもらえました。

I had a horseback riding experience in Hawaii. At first, I was a bit anxious, but I was able to enjoy it. I got to see sea turtles, and I had a fulfilling time having shrimp for lunch.

ハワイで乗馬体験、最初は少し不安でしたが楽しく乗ることが出来ました。ウミガメを見れたり、ランチはシュリンプ食べたり充実した時間を過ごせました。

I have experienced various horseback riding activities so far, but the seaside scenery was very beautiful, and the horses were calm, making it enjoyable. I would like to try other locations next time.

今までいろいろな乗馬を体験してきましたが、海辺の景色がとてもきれいで馬もおとなしくて楽しめました。次回も他の場所での物を体験したいです。

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience

If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.

Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you

Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

I attended the Chief's luau with my husband, siblings/spouses, and my elderly parents. A great time was had by all....even got my parents (temporary) tattooed at the event! We enjoyed the pre-show activities and the food was delicious. Chief and his group of entertainers put on an excellent show. This was my first luau, but my siblings had been to others on previous visits and said Chief's luau was their favorite.

Our first and most memorable experience with this company was being picked up by Coach Driver Jerry. This guy is a credit to the company and to Hawaii. He supplied a huge amount of information about the islands, the history and Pearl Harbour. He was extremely helpful to everyone on the coach and gave sensible advice to all the 'out of towners' The experience of visiting the Missouri and the Arizona memorial was a humbling and memorable experience for our family.

The Royal Start tour to Pearl Harbor was more than I had hoped for. "Cousin Jerry" was an amazing guide and made us feel like ohana (family). The comfort of the tour bus was very very nice. The visit to the Arizona was everything I expected and was a very emotional time for me, being a Navy veteran. We really felt like we got our money worth and definitely recommend the Royal Star tours.

First, I was healed by the cuteness of the horses in Happy Valley, and then I leisurely explored the town of Haleiwa. I enjoyed a bento box featuring the local specialty of garlic shrimp while being completely satisfied by the sunset over the North Shore at a beach filled with sea turtles. I'm also grateful for the driver's efficiency. Thank you!

まず、ハッピーバレーで馬の可愛さに癒され、その後の
ハレイワの町ものんびり散策しました。名物のガーリック味の海老料理のお弁当を堪能しながら、海がめ一杯いる浜辺でノースに沈む夕日に大満足の一日でした。ドライバーの方の手際の良さにも感謝です。ありがとうございました！

There were so many Pearl Harbor tours to choose from, I thought my head was going to explode just trying to decide. In the end, I was glad we chose this one. We had a lot of time on our own to explore Pearl Harbor and there were optional audio tours available for an additional fee, but we didn't do that. There was so much to take in and see as it was!

Great time, great guide, lots to see and a ton of information!

This was our first Luau and we are confident in saying that it is quite possibly the best Luau you could attend. It was very authentic and Chief Seilu put on a great show from the dancing to music to his corky comedy. The activities before the Luau and the show itself are a perfect experience for anyone visiting Oahu.

When I think of a canyon, I imagine cliffs, but it felt more like a stroll through the mountains. It was refreshing, and the joy of the foreign children added to the fun.

渓谷というと崖を想像しましたが山の中を散策する感じ
気持ちよかったです　外人の子供も楽しんでいて楽しいのが倍増

Since it was my first time participating, I couldn't understand everything well, so I guess it can't be helped. I was under the impression that I could go horseback riding, so I was disappointed that I couldn't. The advertised horseback riding hike sounded appealing, but I didn't know how to express that, and I would have liked to know how to make the most of my time at Hailewa. The duration of the stay was too long for someone who doesn't ride horses.

初めての参加で良く理解できていなかったので仕方がないのですが、乗馬ができると思い込んでいたので乗馬をすることができず残念でした。うたい文句の乗馬ハイキングが選べるとありましたが、どのように伝えればよいのか判らずハイレワでの時間の使い方を教えて欲しかった。　乗馬をしない人にとってあまりにも長い滞在時間でした。

We really enjoyed this Luau. The entertainment and location were fantastic. The food was typical luau food, but what it lacked was made up for by the staff and the show. Would go again in a heartbeat.

1 - A very informative and interesting event

2 - A fantastic location for the event, with mountains and the sea in the back-drop

3 - Talented dancers!

4 - A hilarious chief who makes the entire crowd get involved and excited

5 - Decent food for a buffet, some unique Hawaiian dishes. Nothing too fancy. It's not about the food, much more about the experience overall.

It was our first time in Hawaii and our first and only luau. We are happy we went and experienced it on the 2nd night of our vacation. It is worth it to have the luau experience and great fun!

The guide we had was excellent for the city tour, and the Pearl Harbour tour was very informative, moving, and a great experience.
Thank you

Had a great time!!

Children around the age of elementary school can ride alone! The horses are trained for riding at the hotel, so it may not be thrilling for those seeking excitement. There aren’t many tours that allow you to ride a horse while enjoying views of the ocean, so I recommend it for that reason as well. The horses walk in a line, and there’s hardly any running, so it may not satisfy those who want to gallop. At the end, you can hand over your camera to have photos taken. It's a memorable tour!

小学生年長くらいの子供であれば1人で乗れちゃいます！
ホテルで飼いならされた乗馬用の馬なので、スリルを望む人には物足りないです。
馬に乗って海を見ながらと言うツアーはあまりないので、そういった意味でもオススメです。
一列に並び馬が歩くのが基本で、ほぼ走ることはないので馬で走り去りたい人には物足りないです。
最後に自分のカメラを渡すと写真撮ってもらえます。
思い出になるツアーです！
