Oahu
Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!
Wear good shoes. Water provided. No jacket or back pack required. Wear sunscreen.
I was very satisfied running through the town of Honolulu and along the coast while feeling the breeze! I will definitely sign up again when I come to Hawaii!
ホノルルの町中と海沿いなど風を感じながら走れ非常に満足できました!また、ハワイに来る際にはぜひ申し込みいたします!
It's better to practice thoroughly!
しっかり練習はしたほうがいいです!
We had a great movie tour - almost wish we had booked one of the more extended tours, but we had a great guide, learned a lot, enjoyed photo stops though wish there were more! Would definitely recommend!
Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you
We highly recommend Friday Sunset Fireworks dinner cruise. We pick the first level.
The guy was very nice and knowledgeable but the tour was just okay.
The Viking was a bit tiring, but it was worth the climb! The view was spectacular. The guide was also very kind. I'm glad I participated.
バイキングは少し疲れましたが
登る価値あり!
絶景です。
ガイドさんもとても親切でした。
参加して良かったです。
Enjoy the view from the top! ♡
頂上からの景色を楽しんでください♡
This tour includes optional mini-tours that take you to places that are difficult to reach on foot, such as the Balance Rock and the North Shore sign. You can visit all the places you want, and there was plenty of free time, so I was able to fully enjoy the experience.
このツアーには自由参加のミニツアーがあり、バランスロックやノースショアの看板など歩いて行くには難しいところも連れて行ってくれます。行きたいところに全て行くことができ、自由時間も十分にあったのでしっかり満喫できました。
It must be tough for the guide to manage both English and Japanese, but it's tiring for us listening as well. I had a similar tour before, but there were about 10 people, so we could take our time. I wanted to see the surfers riding the waves at the North Shore. I think it's strange to expect tips. It's quite an expensive tour... I've participated in various tours before, but this one was quite disappointing.
英語と日本語のガイドでガイドさんも大変だろうけれど、聞いている私達も疲れる。
以前ほぼ同じようなツアーだったけど10人位でゆっくりとできた。
ノースショアではサーフィンの波乗りしている人達が見たかった。
チップもいる?のはおかしいと思う。
結構高額ツアーなのに・・・
今までいろいろ参加してきたけれど、だいぶ残念なツアーでした。
Aloha!

I searched for a tour to the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout to experience the strong winds and scenery that surprised me during my honeymoon 26 years ago, but I could only find this one, which was in English, so I signed up.
The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout was still as windy as ever. It brought back memories, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.
The Byodoin Temple looked a bit shabby to someone who knows the real one in Uji, Kyoto, but its presence standing in the tropical rainforest was interesting in its own way.
I should have done proper research on which shops to aim for in Haleiwa Town. However, even with a spontaneous approach, I managed to encounter unexpected deliciousness and fun.
When I ordered soft serve ice cream at the Dole Plantation, the portion was so large that even my husband and I couldn't finish it. An American elderly couple sitting at the same table was struggling with it too. The pineapple flavor was incredibly delicious.
I only passed through downtown, but since it’s a business district, it seemed completely deserted on Saturday.
Returning to Waikiki and reflecting on the journey, I felt the "smallness" of Oahu. This is the Hawaiian Islands, needless to say.
新婚旅行時に驚かされた強風と景観を26年ぶりに感じたくてヌウアヌ・パリ展望台に行くツアーを探したけれど、これしか見つからず、英語のみでしたが、申し込みました。
そのヌウアヌ・パリ展望台は、相変わらず強風。思い出が蘇り感無量でした。
平等院は、京都宇治の本物を知る身にはしょぼく見えましたが、熱帯雨林の中に立つ姿はそれなりに面白いです。
ハレイワタウンは、どの店を目指すか下調べをきちんとしておくべきでした。しかし、行き当たりばったりでも何とかなり、思わぬ美味しさと楽しさに出合えました。
ドールプランテーションでソフトクリームを注文したら、夫婦2人でも食べ切れないほどの量。同じテーブルに座ったアメリカンな老夫婦も苦労していました。パイン風味がすごく美味しかったです。
ダウンタウンは通過しただけですが、ビジネスタウンなので土曜日は人っ子ひとりいないようでした。
ワイキキへ戻って来て、道程を振り返り、オアフ島の「小ささ」を感じました。ここはハワイ諸島なんですね、言うまでもなく。
On the bus, the driver keeps talking. I recommend downloading a translation app on your smartphone and using the simultaneous interpretation mode. I was even able to laugh at the jokes. Above all, it'
バスの中、ドライバーは語りっぱなしです。スマホに翻訳アプリを入れ、同時通訳モードで使うことを勧めます。私はジョークにも笑うことができました。何よりも、バスに戻る時刻をしっかりと確認できて助かりますよ。
Thank you very much for participating as a couple in our Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour since your honeymoon. I'm sure you both had many wonderful memories at the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout, a place filled with memories. Although it was an English tour, we are very pleased that you enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターで行くグランドサークルアイランドツアーに新婚旅行以来ご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございます。思い出の場所のヌウアヌ・パリ展望台にてお二人で沢山の思い出話に花が咲いた事でしょう。英語のツアーではありますが楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。また次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
I had a long stay, and the driver was Japanese, which made for wonderful memories. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to use your services.
滞在時間も長く
運転手の方も日本人で
最高な思い出が出来ました。
又、機会があったら是非
よろしくお願いします。
We had a wonderful experience as a family of 10 on our tour to Waimea Valley! The breakfast was a great start! Our tour guide, Jason, was full of great facts as we drove along the way to our destinations! Weimea definitely exceeded my expectations in beauty! Jason shared facts about the flora and fauna surrounding us. The walked is paved but does have some inclines along the way. The walk was great for the whole family but my elderly parents had to move slower behind the group at their own pace. The waterfall was perfect. There is “audience style seating” for families to sit if not swimming and to place items. Life jackets are required and provided which was nice and the life guards that are on duty are very helpful. The tour gives 30 minutes to enjoy the waterfall swimming which was a great amount of time. Lunch was then given after a walk back to the entrance of Waimea. Although lunch is provided and was very good- for picky eaters or hungry along the way- there are snack bars and a walk up style restaurant to order other food.
After leaving Waimea we went to Dole where we had plenty of time to walk around the gift shop and enjoy our Dole Whip. This tour was a hit with the family and definitely would recommend it!
If you are not able to walk long distances- this may be a harder tour.
Aloha, thank you so much for joining our Nature and You:Waimea tour and this incredibly detailed and heartwarming review!🌺
It's fantastic to hear that the breakfast was a great start and that Jason's insightful commentary about the local flora and fauna truly enhanced your experience. Waimea Valley's beauty truly is something special, and we're delighted it exceeded your expectations. We appreciate you highlighting details. Those insights are so helpful for future guests. We're also glad the 30 minutes at the waterfall was just right and that lunch was enjoyed by all. Your note about the walking distance being a consideration for some is very helpful and something we truly appreciate you sharing.
The Dole Plantation stop for gift shopping and Dole Whip is always a favorite, and we're thrilled it was a perfect end to your family's day.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another exciting adventure soon.
This tour also included a local mini tour. Since we had some extra time, we decided to extend our trip and took THE BUS to TEDS Bakery. We were very satisfied after eating plenty of pies and loco moco. The tour driver shared various stories during the mini tour and provided guidance, which made it really enjoyable. Meeting the sea turtles was also the highlight!
このツアーには現地のミニツアーも付いていました。時間に余裕があったので、さらに足を伸ばしてTHE BUSを使ってTEDS ベーカリーまで行きました。パイやロコモコをお腹いっぱい食べて大満足でした。ツアーのドライバーさんもミニツアーでいろいろなエピソードを話してくれたりガイドもしてくれて本当に楽しかったです。ウミガメに会えたのも最高でした。
Using THE BUS costs $6 round trip, but it's worth paying for the tour fee to ensure safety and peace of mind. You can also get plenty of luggage without worrying.
THE BUSを使えば往復6ドルですが、ツアー代金をしっかり払ってでも安全安心を買う価値はあります。手荷物も気にすることなくたっぷりゲットすることができます。
The bus driver was informative and punctual, the bus was very clean. The Ranch was very well organised and impressive. The 3hr Bike Tour looked great, the bikes well suited and Safety Video succinct....However, for us that's when it all went down hill.
TIP - Read the fine print. Elite 3hr Bike Tour is for Intermediate+ mountain bike riders familiar with E-bikes. We are a couple of middle aged Australian tourists and failed the obstacle test. Ive ridden Road Bikes for 30yrs and a strong rider, my wife is a strong runner and has limited cycling skills. This meant we couldn't participate in the 3hr Tour and there was no refund and the bus departed at 1300. Would I book again - YES. But we would do the Novice 2hr ride (-:
The tour had almost no Japanese participants, and the guidance was in English. However, if you understand English to some extent, it's totally fine! The North Shore was great with its relaxed atmosphere and nature, unlike Waikiki! The guide was friendly and engaged with us, taking photos as well! It can be difficult to get to places other than the North Shore on your own, so I think it's good to go on a tour like this.
ツアーの参加者は日本人ほぼいないツアーでした、
案内についても英語での案内ですが、英語がある程度わかるのであれば全然大丈夫です!
ノースショアはワイキキと違ってのんびりとした空気と自然があり良かったです!
ガイドの人もこちらに対して気さくに話しかけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたりしてくれました!
ノースショア以外は自分で行こうとすると難しいところになるのでこう言うツアーで行くのが良いかと
If you sit in the right-side seat on the bus, you can enjoy the ocean view the whole time! It's a good idea to pay attention to the gathering times at each location, as they will be announced in Engli
バスの座席については右側の席に座ると海側の景色がずっと見れます!
各場所の集合時間は英語で言われるのでよく聞いておくほうが良いです
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star Grand Circle Island Tour as a couple. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed Oahu so much. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターで行くグランドサークルアイランドツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございます。オアフ島沢山楽しんで頂いたようで私達も大変嬉しい思いでいっぱいです。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。また次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing many great behind-the-scenes stories!
The atmosphere was full of aloha spirit, with performers who you can tell take so much pride in sharing the history.
Comfortable transportation and made this day stress-free allowing us to see everything we wanted!
Aloha Kara,
Mahalo Nui loa for your kind words! We're so happy to hear you had a memorable time exploring Honolulu on our Arizona Memorial, Punchbowl & Honolulu City Tour on your recent Polynesian Adventure Tour. We hope to welcome you again for another island adventure soon.
With warm aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana'
The warm malasadas absolutely hit the spot after the intense climb!
Highly recommend for families looking for an authentic luau experience on Oahu!
This tour was both powerful and informative. Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and taking the boat ride to the Arizona Memorial was such a moving experience!
Wish we could do this tour every day forever! Such a fantastic way to explore the highlights of Oahu in one day.
The small-group vibe this tour offered was what we loved most, making it feel more personal and comfortable. Each location gave us a perfect taste of the island’s beauty!
Chief’s Luau was an unforgettable evening. The fire knife dancing finale was unbelievable!!
This tour was the perfect way to start the day in Oahu. Getting picked up early was great to get to reach Diamond Head in time for sunrise views, absolutely worth the early wake-up.
This tour was a meaningful and well-organized experience. Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the Arizona Memorial was deeply moving, and the Punchbowl National Cemetery stop was a respectful stop en route.
The guide was knowledgeable and personable, adding local insight that made the journey feel authentic.
My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found the staff and guides friendly, interesting and helpful. The only disappointment was that, at the end of the tour, we could have been given more time to tour the USS Missouri.
Book the all day tour. Although it was expensive, we felt it was well worth it.
Aloha and mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you had an excellent experience from start to finish, and we appreciate you sharing those helpful feedback regarding the USS MO timing. Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure; we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian journey and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
Warmest aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
After the mini tour, I was dropped off at a place of my choice, which was very helpful. I was also able to relax at the beach and had plenty of time to enjoy sightseeing!
ミニツアーのあとは、好きなところで降ろして頂けたので、とても助かりました。
またビーチでゆっくりする事もでき、時間に余裕をもって観光できました!
I was torn between renting a car, taking a taxi, or chartering a vehicle, but considering the information about the carriage that allows you to see sea turtles, the left-hand drive, and having a 2-year-old child, I decided to go with the charter this time.
It was comfortable and smooth, and I was guided to a spot where I could see many sea turtles swimming up close. The little tidbits about Hawaii during the trip were also helpful, and I would like to request this service again next time.
レンタカーかタクシーかでチャーターかで悩みましたが、ウミガメを見れる馬車の情報や左ハンドル、2歳の子供もいるということもあり今回はチャーターにしました。
快適にスムーズに回れましてし、ウミガメが見れる場所にも案内頂き沢山の近くで泳いでるウミガメを見ることができました。
移動中のハワイの小ネタなども参考になり、また次回もお願いしたいと思います。
The Pineapple Express at Dole Plantation has a ride time of 20 minutes, but it can take longer if you have to wait in line. Even on weekday mornings in June, it can be crowded enough that you might mi
ドール農園のパイナップルエクスプレスは乗車時間は20分ですが、並ぶと時間がかかるることもあるようです。
6月の平日朝一でも1回見送るくらい混み具合なので土日は1時間半ほど余裕を見た方が良さそうです。
Thank you for the high rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The pineapple express at Dole Plantation and the secret spot to see sea turtles have received great reviews from families with children. Mahalo~ 🤙🏼
高評価⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ありがとうございます。
ドール農園のパイナップル🍍エクスプレスと、海亀🐢が見れる秘密の場所は、お子様連れの方に大好評を頂いております。マハロ〜🤙🏼
We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
Book the Premium package. It is well worth it.
