All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The cruise was filled with Japanese people, so it didn't feel like I was in Hawaii. When I watched the countdown fireworks from the deck, there were a lot of people, and everyone counted down together, which was very exciting. The food wasn't particularly delicious, but the atmosphere on the deck was nice. The fireworks viewed from the deck were better than those seen from the beach in Honolulu.

クルーズのフロアーは日本人だらけで、ハワイにいる感じがしなかったです。デッキからカウントダウンの花火を見た時は、人が大勢いて、みんなでカウントダウンをし、とても盛り上がりました。料理は特に美味しいわけでもありませんが、デッキでの雰囲気は良かったです。ホノルルのビーチから見る花火より、デッキから見た花火の方が最高でした。

I participated in the English tour with a bit of excitement. There were two Japanese women and about eight people from English-speaking countries, and despite my limited English, we were able to communicate and enjoy trekking together.

We climbed through a bamboo-like area near Manoa, but since Manoa has one of the highest rainfall levels in Oahu, the ground is often muddy, and we crossed a small stream along the way, so I definitely recommend borrowing rubber boots. This tour is almost 100% in English, so it's great for those who really love trekking and find Diamond Head too easy! However, for those who are anxious about their English skills, it might take a bit of courage to join.

Also, I noticed that arriving about 30 minutes late is something typical for English tours. If you don't have that kind of flexibility, you might find it frustrating at first.

英語ツアーということで、少しドキドキしながら参加しましたが、日本人の女性の方が２人と、あとは英語圏の方８人くらいで、英語ができないなりにもコミュニケーションをとりつつ楽しくトレッキングできました。
マノア近くの竹林的なところを黙々と登っていくのですが、マノア周辺はオアフの中でも降水量が多いところなので、地面はぬかるんでいるところが多く、途中小川も渡ったりするので、長靴は絶対借りたほうがいいと思います。ほぼ100%英語のツアーなので、本当にトレッキングが好きで、ダイヤモンドヘッドでは物足りない！！という方にはお勧めですが、英語の不安のある方はちょっと参加するのに勇気がいるような気がします。
あと、集合時間に30分くらい遅れてくるのも、英語ツアーならではなのかなぁと思いました。それくらい寛大さがないと、最初イライラするかもしれませんね

what a wonderful experience. A little humbling at first but what patriotism for all that died that day. God Bless America!

Pearl Harbour is a must see, interesting and informative tour would definetly recommend. Drive to Punchbowl had amazing views of Waikiki and Diamond head.

Burberry led the way, while Mac and the dog provided support from behind.

We had quite a long horseback riding session and enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the forest.

結構、乗馬時間も長くて、ゆったり、森の中の散歩を愉しめました。

We attended this tour with our 3 children. Our driver was Garfield and he was the most informative driver we experienced on our whole trip...he gave us a running commentary on everything we were passing on our way to Pearl Harbour and he had a great sense of humour. He was so punctual with time and always ensured everyone knew what was going on all the time. I would rate this tour as the best one we went on while in Hawaii, I can't speak more highly of it. Our 9 year old left the day completely educated and informed about Pearl Habour. It was also great to go onboard the USS Missouri and see what life was like at sea and understand where the signing for the end of the war occurred. Overall we were extremely pleased with the tour.

this place was great,,,everyone should see this

the staff was great

First time on surf bus, me(45), niece(25), son(9), daughter(4). Only paid for 1 activity each because we didnt know the time schedule or what would work best. Pick up 8:15am. Nice tour of different beaches at north shore. Finally arrived at 1st activity spot at 10:30 me/daughter went to waimea beach, niece/son waimea falls and walked to us. Others did snorkeling. Picked up at 1pm. Next stop haleiwa where we got 1 paddle board and 1 double kayak. Son loved padded boarding by himself! We switched off and met back at 3. Others walked through town and ate. We did great with just one activity eac (2 waimea waterfall entrance, 1 paddle board, 1 kayak). Others did th snorkel then th paddle board the 2nd half. The falls walk was hot and long but my son still enjoyed. Beach was nice for me and my 4 year old to float in the calmer waves. Definitely enjoyed our trip! Nice ending was a couple days later I realized I had left my daughter's life jacket (brought a good one for my entir vaca

I HIGHLY recommend this tour to all!!!

I took this tour with my family about a year ago, and my brother and I told ourselves we must come back with our friends to enjoy it again!

Our tour guide, Mr. (Insert Several Incredibly Long Names Here) Polamalu was incredible! Personable, hilarious, engaging, knowledgeable...pure awesome-ness!! He made the tour so much fun, and on behalf of my group I'd like to say "MAHALO" to him for his service! Side Note: During the Circle Island Tour, I recommend everyone try Dole Whip Ice Cream at the Dole Plantation stop. It is truly some of the best ice cream I've ever had.

The second leg of our tour included an activity-filled rollick through the Polynesian Culture Center! The Center is so clean, everyone is so accommodating and nice, and the activities were very enjoyable! I loved watching the coconut slicing and juicing presentation! It was so informative...and very funny, I might add! Every student and staff member working there is a physica

Not much of a tour. Driver OK - very little information given during ride, made a few recommendations. Driver dropped everyone off then went surfing for both the morning and afternoon sessions.
Other folks in group disappointed in the amount of walking, lack of bike helmets and places where the road had no bike trail.

When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね！
現地スタッフ（チケット引き換え所）のおじいちゃん？も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり！乗らなきゃ損です。
停車中には写真も取ってくれます♪
移動だけの手段だけではなく、楽しい運転手の話しを聞きながらワイキキ周辺を探索出来ました。
次回も絶対に参加しま~す！

I have always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this canyon horseback riding course. As someone who has been attending a riding club, just walking at a normal pace wasn't enough for me, and I dozed off a bit along the way, but it was wonderful to view the mysterious forest and the beautiful ocean from the horse's back. The horse was calm and well-behaved. The stray cat and stray chicken that were friendly were also cute.

The restroom at the riding club is just one temporary toilet outside, so I strongly recommend using the nice restrooms at Dole Plantation beforehand. The Dole pineapple soft serve and cookies were delicious.

There is no rental for helmets and gloves, which are usually provided for horseback riding. It’s a good idea to bring a hat, long sleeves, long pants, and gloves that you don’t mind getting dirty to protect against sunburn and scratches.

I’m not a fan of shrimp, but the lunch I went to had no options other than shrimp (there was a fruit salad on the menu, but it wasn’t actually available), so I wished I could have eaten at a cool, clean restaurant with a restroom that accepted credit cards and offered something other than shrimp lunch. It seems to be a famous place, and the guide kindly offered me some pineapple as a side.

We had a packed schedule with visits to the "Tree of Life," Dole, sea turtles, and Haleiwa Town, and they accommodated us in various ways. As a result, we ended up leaving later than planned, but the guide was chatty and kind.

昔からハワイで乗馬がしたかったので、こちらの渓谷乗馬コースを申し込みました。乗馬クラブに通ってた私には、普通の並み足で歩くだけでは物足りなくて、途中でウトウトしてしまったけど、不思議な森の中や綺麗な海が見える景色を馬の背から眺めるのは乙なものでした。お馬さんも大人しくて良い子でした。よく懐いてる野良猫と野良ニワトリも可愛かったです＾＾
乗馬クラブのトイレは外の仮設のようなトイレ1個しかないので、ドールプランテーションの綺麗なトイレで済ませておくことを強くお勧めします。ドールのパイナップルソフトクリームとクッキーは美味しかったです。
乗馬に付き物の、ヘルメットと手袋のレンタルはありません。日焼けと傷防止のためにも、帽子と長袖・長ズボン・軍手などの汚れても良い手袋を持参すると良いです。

私はエビが苦手なのですが、行ったランチはシュリンプ以外のメニューが無く(フルーツサラダがメニューにあるけど実際は売ってなかった)、シュリンプランチ以外のクレジットカードが使えるトイレつきの涼しく綺麗なレストランで食べたかった気もしますが。有名なお店だそうで、ガイドさんが気を使って私に添え物のパイナップルをくれました。

この木なんの木や、ドール、ウミガメ、ハレイワタウン、イレギュラーな対応もして頂き、盛りだくさんのイベントでした。
そのため帰る時間が遅くなりましたが、ガイドさんはお喋りで親切でした。

I really wanted to experience horseback riding in Hawaii, so I joined this tour. My daughter and grandchild rode the pineapple train, while my husband and I took on horseback riding. The horses, walking in a line through the enchanting forest, were very obedient, and sometimes they would stop to graze, making it thrilling as they tried to catch up with the horse in front. It was so much fun that since returning home, I've been looking for trips where I can ride horses. It became my most enjoyable memory from the trip to Hawaii.

是非ハワイで乗馬を経験したかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。娘と孫はパイナップル列車に乗り、私たち夫婦は乗馬に挑戦しました。幻想的な林の中を列を作って散歩する馬さんたちはとても従順で、時々、道草を食べて遅れると前の馬に追いつこうとして走るので、とてもスリリングな時を過ごしました。とても楽しかったので、帰国してからも乗馬ができる旅ばかり探しています。ハワイの旅で一番楽しい思い出になりました。

Must see attraction

I am very grateful to my guide, Mr. Abe. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy Kauai Island at a leisurely pace. His storytelling was also very relaxed, making the journey feel effortless. Although he had already retired once and was working again, it felt like his experience really made a difference.

I could clearly see the impact of the two major hurricanes that hit Kauai, with damaged buildings and free-roaming birds still evident today.

The fern cave wasn't very impressive, but the mini Grand Canyon was lovely.

私は阿部さんというガイドさんにとても感謝しています。
時間をゆったり作って回っていただいたので、カウアイ島を堪能できました。
お話もとってもゆったりしていらして、つかれることのない道中でした。
すでに一度は退職されており、再雇用でのお仕事とのことでしたが、そんな経験が物をいうという感じでした。
カウアイ島が2回も大きなハリケーンに見舞われ、大きな被害があったことは今も残る壊れたままの建造物や放し飼いになった鳥などでよくわかりました。

シダの洞窟はあんまり印象的ではありませんでしたが、ミニグランドキャニオンは素敵でした。

This was a great acivity. We learned all about the island on the drive to the North Shore. Saw all the great surfing beaches, did some snorkeling and kyaking....a very fun day.

Last August, my family participated in a canyon horseback riding experience. My son, who is in the third grade, and my daughter, who is in high school, both had a great time. The 90-minute ride through the canyon included just the right amount of uphill sections and was more fun than we expected. Each horse had its own personality, and my son's horse was laid-back, walking slowly, which seemed perfect for him (laughs). At the end, they also took pictures for us, creating wonderful memories!

昨年8月に渓谷乗馬に家族で参加しました。
小学3年生の息子や高校生の娘もとても楽しんでいました。
約90分の渓谷での乗馬はちょうどいい程度の上りもあり
想像以上の楽しさでした。
馬もそれぞれ性格があり、息子の馬はマイペースで
ゆっくりゆっくり歩くので息子にはちょうど良かったようです(笑)
最後には写真も撮ってくれて良い思い出となりました！

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.

As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!

As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.

All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

By far the best Luau in Oahu. 'Chief' is on to a winner with his Luau. He entertains you from the start to the end of the evening with his brilliant comedy skills, his drumming, singing and, of course, his fire dance which is sensational. There is a lot of audience participation, the food is excellent and it all adds up to the most magical evening. 'Chief' has an excellent team with him and I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone.

I rode a boat for the first time in Hawaii. I saw mother and baby whales a few times, but it was just for a moment. I enjoyed the scenery from the boat, and the breeze felt nice, so I'm glad I participated.
The inside of the boat was too cold due to the air conditioning. I wished I had brought a jacket.

ハワイに来て初めて船に乗りました。親子のクジラ何度か見えました。一瞬でした。船から景色も楽しめて風も気持ち良くて参加して良かったです。
船内はク−ラ−がききすぎて寒かったです。上着を持っていけば良かったなぁと思いました。

The Arizona Memorial and the Punch Bowl Veterans Cemetery were very moving experiences for us. Our driver was the real gem of this tour. He was informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to all visitors to Honolulu.

Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.

We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!

Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici

First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.

I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.

The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.

One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!

This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared

I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!

In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.

One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m

Great evening and entertainment. Sat by door which despite staffs attempts to block off, was continually opened by customers causing a lot of wind while we ate.

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

Thank you for your help. The local Japanese staff were very kind, and I had a great time!

お世話になりました。現地の日本のスタッフの方が大変親切で満喫できました！！

THE DRIVER/GUIDE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND KEPT US ENTERTAINING FOR THE MOST PARTS. HE GAVE US CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AND WAS A GREAT ASSET TO HAVE IN THIS TOUR.

WE COULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME ON THE ISLAND TOUR INSTEAD OF THE CULTURAL CENTER.

FINALLY THE NIGHT SHOW WAS WELL DONE. SUPRISED TO SEE HOW STUDENTS COULD PUT UP A PROFESSIONAL SHOW LIKE THIS. SOMETIMES I WONDER WHETHER THEY COME HERE TO STUDY FOR A CAREER OR ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES.
