All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The driver was polite and it was great. It was a very good hike that we could do in two hours with elementary school children, going up and down. The weather was nice, and the view from the top was wonderful. There were also many elderly people and those with babies.

ドライバーさんが丁寧で良かったです。小学生子供連れて、２時間で、登って降りて来れる、とても良いハイキングでした。天気も良く、頂上からの眺めは素晴らしかったです。お年寄りも赤ちゃん連れの方もたくさんいました。

There are tours available in Japanese on the battleship, and I was able to learn a lot about the history of the USS Missouri, especially places related to Japan.

戦艦には日本語でのツアーもあり、戦艦ミズーリの歴史、特に日本に関係のある場所をよく知ることができました。

I have visited Oahu several times for free, but this time I wanted a local guide, so I requested this service. The driver was Ken, who is from Okinawa. He explained the tourist spots and recommended shops, allowing us to visit places we wouldn't have gone to on our own, which was great. It was also wonderful to visit places like Balanced Rock and other shops outside of the requested course. The Lincoln was beautiful, spacious, and the ride was excellent.

オアフ島は何度かフリーで訪れていますが今回現地のガイドが欲しいと思いコチラにお願いしました。
ドライバーは沖縄県出身のケンさんでした。
観光ガイド、お勧めのお店等説明してくれて自分達では行かないお店に行けてお願いして良かったです。リクエストしたコース以外もバランス岩やお店に行く事も出て最高でした。
リンカーンもキレイで広く、乗り心地も最高でした。

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the trolley while feeling the breeze. You can enjoy it just by riding along without doing anything, and I believe this is more of an attraction than just a means of transportation.

It's helpful that they sell tickets separately without going through His, but since the pandemic, the discount tricks are no longer available, and it's too expensive, so I reduced my rating. However, you could say it's lucky that it's less crowded than before.

Be careful as the railings are so open that you might drop something. Hats can fly off, and depending on the driver, they might start moving before everyone is seated, and some drivers have rough driving styles. This is not Japan. Everyone should be cautious and take responsibility for themselves, as you shouldn't ride with a Japanese mindset.

Because of this, infants and toddlers can only sit in priority seats that are covered by railings (it feels scary to sit anywhere else). If you start from the first train, staff will guide you to the priority seats, but if you're boarding from the suburbs and there are no seats available, you should actively ask others to make space for the priority seats. Many drivers lack the Japanese language skills to explain this.

This is what Hawaii is all about.

やっぱりハワイといえば、
風を浴びながらのトロリー。
何をしなくても、ぼけーっと乗っているだけでたのしめる、これはもはや移動手段じゃなくアトラクションだと思っています。

Hisを通さず旅行しても、
こうやって単品で売ってくれて助かるのですが、コロナ後からは裏技の割引も使えなくなり、高すぎますので星を減らしました。
ただ、昔より空いていてラッキーともいえます。

ものを落としそうなくらい足元の空いた柵なのでくれぐれも注意、
帽子は飛びますし、ドライバーさんによっては着席前の発車もザラ、
荒い運転のかたもいて、
そこは、日本ではありません。
みなさんくれぐれも、日本の感覚では乗らないように、自己責任で。

そのため幼児や赤子は柵が覆われた優先席しか乗れません(怖くてそこじゃないとという感じ)
始発からだと係員に優先席を案内してもらえるのですが、郊外などからのる場合、
空いてなければ自分から積極的に優先席を開けて欲しいと、声をかけましょう。
ドライバーも、それを説明するほどの日本語力がない方が多いので。

やっぱりハワイは、これです。

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!

I had some concerns about the reservation in Japan, but I received communication via LINE, and even though I arrived earlier than the meeting time on the day of the tour, the bus came early, leading to an earlier departure. We arrived at the destination ahead of schedule and were able to fully enjoy our time there. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I would like to use this service again on my next trip to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

日本での予約に心配もありましたが、LINEでご連絡頂いたり、当日も待ち合わせ時間より早く着いてしまったのですが、バスも早く来ていて時間より早い出発となり、現地到着も予定より早く、たっぷり満喫する事ができました。
本当にこのツアーに参加して良かったです。
次回のハワイでもまた、利用したいです。
有難うございました。

Lola was an awesome driver & host. We had & very interesting, informative, & relaxing drive around the North Shore.

I'm glad I was able to visit the East Coast tourist spots all at once on a tour, which would be difficult for an individual without a rental car.

The guide provided a lot of information about shops in Haleiwa, recommended food trucks, and restroom locations, which was really helpful.

It was a long 8-hour tour, but we returned on time, and I was able to communicate with everyone on the tour and have a great time. Thank you!

レンタカーなしの個人では難しい東海岸の観光地をツアーで一気に行けて良かったです

ガイドさんが社内でもハレイワのショップ情報やおすすめのフードトラックやトイレの場所など沢山の情報を話してくれて凄くたすかりました

8時間の長いツアーだったけど時間通りに帰って来れたしツアーの皆さんともコミュニケーションがとれて楽しく過ごせました
ありがとうございました

He knows everything about Hawaii and shared with us. We truly learned a lot of Hawaiian history during this trip. 6 stars instead of 5!!!

I experienced the new attraction Xplore Ride, which was also introduced at HIS events.

I participated from the afternoon of my arrival day. Since I arrived in Hawaii in the morning and couldn't check into the hotel until the afternoon, it was a nice point that I could join during the free time. The tour departs from Royal Hawaiian Avenue next to DFS. I was worried about getting lost, but the large bus with a blue ocean illustration caught my eye, and I was able to find it right away. There are also lunch spots nearby, like Aloha Table and Sticks, making it convenient to join before or after lunch.

After telling my name and boarding the bus, I took my designated seat. I heard that the bus is a brand new custom vehicle for this tour! The ride was comfortable, with luxurious seats. Before departure, a staff member provided an explanation. Following their instructions, I put on the VR goggles that were prepared at my seat, and I immediately saw a language selection button in front of me. When I reached out, I pressed the selection button, and it switched to Japanese mode. They mentioned that it uses AR technology to overlay real-world images with virtual space, and MR technology that connects the virtual world with the body, which made me excited for this first-time experience.

Once the headset and language settings were complete, the tour started. The bus route goes around Diamond Head and returns, and it wasn't a long ride. I was worried about feeling dizzy due to lack of sleep, but I was able to enjoy it without any issues until the end.

During the tour, a guide named Manta appeared. He shared various attractions of Oahu and information about Hawaii. The experience of reaching out and connecting with the virtual space, where dolphins and fish appeared from Waikiki Beach, and scenes where I completely entered another world were filled with many creative elements that kept me engaged. There are many highlights, but I’ll refrain from spoilers. Please be sure to experience it for yourself!

The duration of the tour is easy to participate in. I highly recommend it for both enhancing your knowledge of Hawaii and enjoying a new experience! Thank you!

HISさんのイベントなどでも紹介されていたXplore Ride。気になる新アトラクションを体験してきました。

私は到着日の午後から参加しました。ハワイの到着は現地午前中、ホテルは午後までチェックインができないので、あいた時間に参加できるのは嬉しいポイントです。
ツアーはDFSの横、ロイヤルハワイアン通りから出発します。迷わないか心配でしたが、海の青いイラストが書かれた大きなバスがアイキャッチになり、すぐに「これだ！」と見つけることができました。近くはアロハテーブルやスティックスなどランチ所もあるので、ランチ前後の参加も便利そうです。

名前を伝えてバスに乗ったら、指定の席に座ります。バスはこのツアー特注の新車とのこと！乗り心地も気持ちよい、高級感あるシートでした。
出発前に係の方から説明があります。いわれるがまま席に準備されたVRゴーグルを装着すると、既に何やら言語選択のボタンが目の前に。手を伸ばすと選択ボタンが押され、日本語モードになりました。現実世界の映像と仮想空間が重なるAR技術、バーチャル世界と体が連動するMR技術とのことですが、始めての体験に既にワクワクです。

ヘッドセット、言語セットが完了したら、ツアースタート。バスのルートはダイヤモンドヘッドを一周して戻ってくるコースで、そこまで長時間ではありません。寝不足でデジタル酔いが心配でしたが、最後まで問題なく楽しむことができました。

ツアーでは案内役のマンタが登場。様々なオアフ島の魅力やハワイ情報を教えてくれます。手を伸ばしてバーチャル空間と繋がる体験、ワイキキビーチからイルカや魚が現れたり、完全に異世界に入るシーンもあり、飽きさせない工夫がたくさんでした。見どころは色々ありますが、ネタバレになるので、控えておきます。是非実際に体験してみてください笑

気軽に参加できる所用時間。ハワイの知識を補強できる意味でも、新しい体験を楽しめる意味でも、おすすめできる内容でした！ありがとうございました！

Since it is a bit far from where I was staying, I had to use a rental car or bus, but I was a bit anxious about both, so I requested the shuttle service, which was very convenient. I was also able to purchase my favorite brand at a great price, and I enjoyed Leonard's malasadas without having to wait in line, which made me feel like I got a great deal. The timing was also just right, so I was very satisfied. I would like to request this service again next time.

少し滞在している所から距離があるのでレンタカーやバスなどで行かなければなりませんが両方とも何か不安なのでこちらの送迎を頼みましたが、とても便利でした。
私の好きなブランドもとてもお得に購入出来レナーズのマラサダもついでに並ばずに食べることも出来てとても得をした気分になりました、時間も適正な時間なので満足しました～また次もお願いしたいと思います。

I wanted to visit a coffee farm and explore Haleiwa, and I was also hoping to try Giovanni's Garlic Shrimp, and all of that came true! Our guide, Jonah, was very attentive and cheerful, providing a lot of explanations about Hawaiian culture and the scenery we saw during the ride, and he answered our questions, which was very informative!

Also, since there were only four of us in total, including another group, Jonah actively offered to take photos at each spot, which made me very happy as we got to take a lot of pictures. He also provided explanations about the highlights at each location and suggested great spots for photos, which made the tour even more enjoyable thanks to Jonah! Thank you very much!

コーヒーファームに行ってみたかったのとハレイワの散策もしたく、あとジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプも食べれると嬉しいなと思っていたことが全て叶えられました！
ガイドのジョナさんがとても気配り上手で明るく、お迎えから車中でもハワイの文化や見える景色の説明をたくさんしてくれたり、質問にも答えてくれてとても勉強になりました！
また、たまたま参加した日が私たちとあと1組だけで合計4名の少人数だったのもあってか、各スポットで「写真撮りますよ」と積極的に声をかけていただいて、たくさん写真も撮れてとても嬉しかったです(^^)
各スポットで見所の説明や、ここで写真を撮るといい景色ですよ〜といった一言もあって、ジョナさんのおかげでツアーがより楽しくなったなと思いました！
ありがとうございました！

We loved this longer day as we went 2 years back and did not get enough time, but really did not want to drive. Thank you for a tour inclusive of Missouri!

Bus driver was really safe as well as friendly. We had more than enough time to explore the park and got some extra Waikiki history, all was well!

Easy way to schedule a Pearl Harbor tour with Arizona inclusion.

Beautiful waterfall, and a gorgeous hike in. We had just enough time, a perfect tour.

We got to see so many local places and we got to try some foods we definitely would not have seen in Waikiki! We loved a day away from the hotel guided by a local!

Had a great time. very friendly staff, well organized production.
It may be their job but everyone seemed to enjoy making sure you have a great time.
go. get the pictures. the memories are priceless.

bonus : go on Friday and you get the fireworks show on the water with Waikiki as the backdrop. what could be better???

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.

The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.

The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.

自分へのご褒美に５スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。１人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット２枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Last March, I was able to see the sunrise from the summit. This year, I climbed to the summit around 8:30 AM on April 17, but isn't it impossible to see the sunrise from the summit in April? The gate opens at 6 AM, and the sunrise on April 17 should be around 6:10 AM, but it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the summit, so wouldn't it be a sunrise seen from partway up?

昨年3月に山頂から日の出を見ることが出来ました。本年は、4月17日に山頂へは8時30分ごろに登りましたが、4月は山頂から日の出が見るのは無理なのではないですか？ゲートが6時に開門して4月17日の日の出は6時10分ごろのはずですが、10分で山頂までは行けないので、途中からの日の出になるのではないですか？

The hike up to the light house was epic! Beautiful! Glad we did it. The weather also cooperated so we were blessed with beautiful blue skies. Picture perfect!
Blow hole… wish we could have stayed longer. 10 minutes wasn’t enough to appreciate the sights.

Since we were the only participants, it was truly a private tour! They really took great care of us. From their thoughtfulness to the explanations, we had a wonderful time, and in the end, they even made a special stop at the bakery we wanted to visit. It truly became a memorable day.

参加者が私たちだけだったのでまさにプライベートツアー！本当に良くして頂きました。お気遣いから説明まで、楽しませてもらい、最後は行きたかったベーカリーにもわざわざ寄ってくれました。本当に思い出に残る一日になりました。

I was disappointed with Mr. T, the guide for the Kaneohe Bay cruise package tour! He might be the same guide mentioned in someone else's experience on the Jurassic Park movie location tour.

カネオヘ湾クルーズパッケージツアーのガイドのMr.Tさんにゲンナリ！
どなたかが体験談に紹介されていたジュラシックか映画ロケ地巡りツアーでのガイドと同じかもです。

I also participated in the mini tour, and the timing was just right! It was very interesting to hear about the history and culture of the North Shore area!

ミニツアーも参加しましたが、時間配分的にちょうど良かったです！ノースショア地区の歴史だったり文化等聞けて大変興味深かったです！

The trolley is just a means of transportation, so I didn't have any particular issues with the service. I picked up my tickets at the HIS counter on-site, but the staff there was inflexible and quite condescending. I felt they were tired of explaining the same things repeatedly. I wanted to ask just the essential questions since I was short on time, but when I did, I was met with a big sigh and told, "Can you please let me finish speaking first?" which surprised me. Additionally, my child wanted to use the restroom, but I was told it couldn't be used until all the procedures were completed. We ended up going to another restroom in the building. I wished I had bought the tickets without going through HIS.

トロリーはあくまで手段なので、サービスとして特に困ったことはありませんでした。現地で HISのカウンターでチケットを受け取るのですが、そこのスタッフが融通が利かず、高圧的で、同じことを何度も説明されているので飽き飽きしているとは思うのですが、こちらから事前に基本的なことはWebなどで確認したうえで、時間がないので知りたいことだけを、先に聞きたかったのですが、質問をしても大きなため息をつかれて、「まず私の話を最後まで聞いてくれますか？」といわれて驚きました。また子供がトイレを借りたかったのですが、すべての手続きを終えてからではないと貸せない、と言われました。館内の他のトイレに行きました。HISを通さないでチケットを買いたいと思いました。

We boarded the ship as a family, including our first and third graders. The large ship was very stable and comfortable, with hardly any rocking. I brought motion sickness medication just in case, but it wasn't needed. Perhaps it depends on the weather.

There were also services like coloring activities on board, which were helpful. We were able to see many whales, and we were very satisfied.

小学1年生・3年生の子供達含め、家族で乗船しました。大きな船でほとんど揺れることなく、快適でした。念のため酔い止めを持参しましたが大丈夫でした。天候次第でしょうか。
船内では塗り絵などのサービスもあり助かりました。
クジラもたくさん見ることができて大満足です。

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.

I’ve been to many luaus and this one was great. The warrior stories and performance was stunning. The food and drinks were good and authentic. The openness of the venue and seating arrangements were appreciated.

Only aspect that was a bit disappointing was the bus/shuttle that took us to the luau: 1) there were a lot of sick people on the bus coughing and sneezing, it would have been mindful to ask they were a mask or include instructions if sick not to take the shuttle 2) the shuttle stayed at the pickup locations for a long time, longer than they should have… this delayed our bus ride. Stick to the rules and please don’t delay other guests. 3) traffic and freeway accidents can’t be prevented or predicted, but if we left the bus stops on time it could have given us more time for pre luau activities.

During my last trip to Hawaii, a friend took me on a drive along the east coast with a rental car. I wanted to see those breathtaking views again, so I searched for a tour and found this one that was perfect!

On the day of the tour, we were picked up from our hotel. The tour vehicle arrived on time. It seemed like we were the only participants, which made me feel a bit guilty, but I was secretly happy as it felt like a private tour.

As soon as we set off, our guide asked if we wanted to try malasadas. We stopped at the parking lot of Pearl Ridge Center in the Aiea area to enjoy Leonard's malasadas. After that, we visited Diamond Head, Blowhole, and Makapu'u Lookout. The view of Makapu'u Beach from the lookout, with its deep blue sea and white coastline, is something I will never forget.

At the site of the old Kahuku Sugar Mill on the North Shore, we enjoyed garlic shrimp recommended by our guide. In Haleiwa Town, we had 90 minutes of free time to explore. We visited shops I wanted to check out and had coffee at Island Vintage.

On the way back, although it wasn't part of the itinerary, we stopped by Dole, and finally, we tasted coffee at Green World Coffee Farm, which had a café on the coffee farm.

Our guide took many photos of the two of us, and we had a lot of fun conversations. It was truly an enjoyable day.

前回のハワイで、友人にレンタカーで東海岸沿いを案内してもらいました。でも、もう一度あの絶景が見たくてツアーを探すと、このツアーがピッタリ！
当日はホテルピックアップ。時間通りにツアーの車が到着。参加者が私たちだけのようで、申し訳ないようでしたが、プライベートツアーのようで、内心は嬉しかったです。
出発してすぐに、マラサダ食べたいですか？アイエア地区にあるパールリッジ・センターのパーキングに寄ってレナーズのマラサダを食べました。それから、ココヘッド、潮吹き岩やマカプウ展望台。マカプウ展望台から見たマカプウビーチは真っ青な海と白い海岸線が美しくて今も忘れられません。
ノースショアのカフクシュガーミル跡地ではガイドさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプを食べました。ハレイワタウンでは９０分自由散策。行きたかったショップに寄ったり、アイランド・ビンテージでコーヒーを飲んだり。
帰りにはコースにはありませんでしたが、ドール寄って下さり、最後にグリーン・ワールド・コーヒー・ファームでコーヒーを試飲。そこは、カフェ併設のコーヒー農場でした。
ガイドさんに二人の写真をたくさん撮っていただき、楽しいお話も聞けて、本当に楽しい一日でした。

We were lost, we called 4 times and no one would pick up our calls before ship left us behind. Someone should be there to answer the phone to help out of state customers, we were a group of 6 Senoir Citizens lost in another state. We all lost all our money we called 45 minutes before ship left.
