I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch. The tour of famous movie filming locations was enjoyable, but the scenery was absolutely stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful ocean, mountains, and nature. I especially want to highlight the buffet-style lunch. It even included delicious cookies, and I was very satisfied. I want to go again.
ハワイには何度も行ってますが、クアロア・ランチには一度も行った事がなく、初めての参加でした。有名な映画のロケ地めぐりも楽しかったのですが、何しろ景色がとても良いです。キレイな海と山、大自然を満喫しました。特筆したいのはブュッフェスタイルのランチです。美味しいクッキーまであって大満足でした。また行きたいです。

The first time I couldn't see any whales, but I received a return ticket and went back later for a second chance. That day, I spotted a whale as soon as I boarded, which was great!
初めての時はクジラが見られなく、再上船券を頂き後日リベンジ、その日は乗船してすぐにクジラ発見よかったです。
クジラが見られない確率は低いそうですが、リベンジする時は送迎がないのでバスなど利用して行くと安くあがります。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a form of revenge. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching this time. Please come again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにリベンジとしてお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。

I arranged for a pickup to the port, making the travel easy.
After the ship set sail, I enjoyed the view from the boat and thought, "I wonder if they'll come out today? When will they come out?" I had seen something like a spout once, so I was hopeful, but they didn't show up for a while. Just when I thought it was over, they jumped out in succession.
I'm really glad I got to see them. I appreciate the captain for extending the trip a bit since they came out towards the end!

It is said that they can be seen from January to March, but February is a good month as many babies are born and families spend time together.

At the beginning of the tour, there were some irregularities due to minor troubles with transportation, but overall, I was quite satisfied with the tour!
Especially, I think I was able to enjoy the trip comfortably thanks to the excellent hospitality of the tour guide.
Regarding the content, it goes without saying that Diamond Head and Haleiwa were quite crowded...
If there are things you want to eat or buy, I think it's a good idea to do some research beforehand!
During this tour, there were no other people in our group, so although the guide mentioned the meeting times at each point, we were allowed to explore freely without worrying about time, which made it very relaxing and enjoyable!
Finally, I would like to share my impressions from climbing Diamond Head.
First of all, the earlier you go, the better. If you can enter early, you can secure the best spot at the top.
As for clothing during the climb, if it's sunny, a T-shirt and shorts might be a bit too warm. Even if it's cloudy, I think a long-sleeve shirt should be sufficient.
Now, here's a little tip regarding the climbing method towards the summit at the end of the Diamond Head hike (after passing through the tunnel). There are two paths: one is the hiking trail, and the other is a staircase (which is quite steep and has over 100 steps).
Basically, the guide recommends the easier hiking trail, which about 97% of people use, but if you are confident in your physical fitness or are younger and have no health issues, I think taking the stairs is a good option.
The reason for this is that the stairs provide a significant shortcut, and since there are usually no people on that route, you can reach the summit much faster. As a result, it becomes easier to secure a good spot at the top. If you are worried about being late or want to secure a good spot at the summit, I recommend using the stairs.
I climbed at a light jog, so it took me less than three minutes from the tunnel to the summit area. (However, I don't recommend running as it can be dangerous, but it was quite satisfying to pass by those using the hiking trail.)
Lastly, it gets quite crowded near the summit. When I went, there weren't any major issues, but there were some individuals from a certain Asian country (I'll leave it to your imagination) and an influencer (who was Japanese) behaving selfishly, which was a bit bothersome. Given the location and the crowd, I encourage everyone to maintain decorum and enjoy the sunrise together!
Even if you can't secure a spot near the summit, it will clear up after a while, so you can take plenty of photos, so don't worry! The view towards Waikiki is also spectacular, so I think it's worth capturing that as well!
ツアー序盤、送迎等で少しトラブルが起こった影響でイレギュラーな点も少しありましたが、ツアー全体としての感想は概ね満足できました!!
特にツアーガイドの方のおもてなしが良かった為、心地よく旅をできたと思います。
内容についてですが、言わずもがなダイヤモンドヘッドとハレイワの方はかなり混んでいたという印象です。。。
もし、食べたいものや買いたいものがあればリサーチしておくのがいいかと思います!
今回のツアーにおいては、同グループに他の方はおらず、自分たちだけであったため、各ポイントにおいて集合時間等をガイドさんから言われるものの、時間を気にすることなく自由に散策しても良いとのことでしたので、とても気楽に楽しむことができました!
最後にダイヤモンドヘッド登山時の所感を述べさせてもらえればと思います。
まず、早く行くに越したことはありません。早く入山することができれば頂上のベストスポットを確保できます。
登山時の服装については晴れていればTシャツ短パンでも暑いぐらいです。曇っていても長袖1枚ほどで大丈夫かと思います。
ここからは裏技ですが、ダイヤモンドヘッド登山終盤(トンネル通過後)の山頂への登山方法についてです。
そこには2つの道があり、ハイキングコースを使って山頂に行く方法と階段(かなり急でおおよそ100段以上あり)を使って登る方法があります。
基本的にガイドの方も楽なハイキングコースをお勧めされ、約97%の方がそちらを利用されますが、もし体力に自信がある方、年齢が若くて身体に問題のない方は階段から行くのが良いかと思います。
その理由に関しましては、階段の方がかなりショートカットができるということと、人が誰もいないためとても早く山頂方面に向かうことができるからです。
その結果、山頂にてかなり良いスポットを確保しやすくなります。
もし、登山に出遅れた方や山頂で良いスポットを確保されたい方がいらっしゃいましたら、階段を使われれるのがいいかと思われます。
自分は小走りぐらいで登ったため、トンネルから山頂付近まで3分もかかりませんでした。
(しかしながら、走るのは危険ですのでオススメはしませんが、ハイキングコースを利用されている方をごぼう抜きできるので、それなりの達成感はありました)
最後に山頂付近になりますとかなり混雑します。
自分が行った際には基本的に問題はなかったのですが、一部某アジア系の外国の人の方(どこの国かはご想像にお任せします)やインフルエンサー?的な方(日本人でした)が身勝手な行動をされており少し迷惑にもなっておりました。
場所も場所であり混雑もしているので、行かれる方は節度を守ってみんなで楽しくサンライズを堪能しましょう!
仮に山頂付近を確保できなくとも、少し時間が経てば山頂付近は空くようになる為、写真は十分に取れますので安心してください!
特にサンライズだけではなく、ワイキキ方面の景色も絶景ですので、そちらも撮るのがいいかと思います!
During the hike up Diamond Head, there was a flashlight rental available.
All you need is hydration, determination, and common sense!
ダイヤモンドヘッド登山時、フラッシュライトの貸し出しがありました。
必要なのは水分と気合いと常識的な心のみ!!

First, we took a tour to explore Diamond Head and the Haleiwa area!
While our exploration of Haleiwa was on our own, the Diamond Head tour was shared with other foreign guests (two groups). Therefore, after hiking at Diamond Head, we returned to Waikiki to drop off the participants who were only joining for Diamond Head. This made us feel like we took quite a detour since we were planning to head to Haleiwa afterward.
However, we were satisfied because we were taken to the places we wanted to visit.
If there are places you want to stop by or visit along the way, I think you can let the guide know, and they will take you there. Conversely, if you don’t communicate the places you want to stop at in advance, there’s a high possibility they might skip them, so it’s best to keep that in mind.
Overall, I was satisfied with the tour because they listened to our various requests, and the guide's hospitality was great!
Thank you very much!!
まず、自分たちはダイヤモンドヘッド及びハレイワ方面への散策のツアーを行いました!
ハレイワ方面への散策については自分たちのみでありましたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドのツアーは他の外国人の方(2組)と同じでした。その為、ダイヤモンドヘッドでのハイキング後、ダイヤモンドヘッドのみの参加者を送り届ける為に一度ワイキキに戻って参りました。
その為、ダイヤモンドヘッド後にハレイワ方面に向かう予定であった我々からするとかなり遠回りをされたという感じでありました。
しかしながら、希望をした場所にはきちんと連れていっていただいたので、満足できました。
もし途中で寄りたいと考えている場所や行きたい場所がある場合、ガイドの方にお伝えすれば連れて行っていただけるかなと思います。
逆に言うと、予め寄ってほしい場所等をお伝えしておかなければスルーされる可能性が高いため、その点は注意しておいた方がいいかと思われます。
ツアー全体の感想としては、色々と希望を聞いていただいたり、ガイドさんのホスピタリティも良かった為、満足しております!
ありがとうございました!!
If you are using Hilton, it is advisable to contact the tour company in advance to confirm the meeting location. (There are many pickup areas at Hilton, so there is a possibility of mismatches.)
ヒルトンから利用される方は事前に集合場所をツアー会社の方と連絡を取り合い、確認されるのがいいかと思います。(ヒルトンにはピックアップエリアが多数あるのでミスマッチが起こる可能性があります)

We had the pleasure of standing by the naturalist, Alyssa for most of the trip and she was very informative and a joy to be around. We saw a momma and her calf breach, and several fluke tail breach’s. The star itself had a ton of space to allow families to spread out and was clean. What a great experience!

When I was wondering where to go on my first trip to Hawaii, I thought, "I want to see the sunrise at Diamond Head!" and found this great optional tour.
It turned out to be a fantastic choice!!!
They took care of all the reservations for Diamond Head, so there was absolutely no hassle.
It was super early in the morning, but we were able to see the sunrise and get some good exercise right from the start of the day.
Since it was a small group tour, there was only one other group besides us.
Our guide, Jonah, was incredibly helpful, and he took photos of us at various spots, allowing us to capture many wonderful memories.
Personally, I found the experience of cracking open macadamia nuts with a stone to be really interesting (Jonah taught us how to do it).
We were able to accomplish a lot with this optional tour, especially since it would have been difficult to get around efficiently without a rental car. It was so much fun!!!
初めてのハワイで、どこに行こうかな?と思った時に、ダイヤモンドヘッドで日の出見たいー!となって、いいオプショナルツアーないかな?と思った時にこちらを見つけました。
結果大正解でした!!!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの予約なども全部していただけるので、煩わしいことは一切ありませんでした。
朝めっちゃ早いですが、日の出もちゃんと見れて朝からいい運動でした。
少人数制のツアーということで、私たちの他にもう1組だけという感じでした。
ガイドのジョナさんには大変お世話になり、途中色々なスポットで写真を撮っていただき、沢山の思い出を写真におさめることが出来ました。
個人的にはマカダミアナッツを石で割って取り出す体験が面白かったです(ガイドのジョナさんに教えていただきました)
レンタカーがないと効率的に回れないところをこちらのオプショナルツアーで沢山叶えていただきました。楽しかったですー!!!
Since the mornings are early, I recommend going to bed early the night before. Definitely try cracking the macadamia nuts!

At 200 feet, the Star is steady in the morning sea. The crew is knowledgeable and helpful. We were given a brief lesson in whale anatomy, diet, and behavior before we set out. We understood the challenges and likely outcomes of our trip. We did see whales. We would have liked to have seen more, but we were well prepared for the visit we received.

All of the staff on the boat, from the Captain to the servers were all very nice, accommodating and service minded. Joshua did a great job answering questions and adding nuggets of knowledge about the trip. The ship was in great condition and prepared for the cruise, and it made for a very relaxing and comfortable voyage.
Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales on this tour, but as a fisherman, I understand the difference between fishing and catching, and sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating and ya just need to relax and enjoy the beauty. But, the most important thing is, as Larry Fleet says in the song “Where I Find God”, “you can’t find Peace Like this in a bottle or a pill”.
I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, and if we see a whale, that would just be lagniappe!
Don’t hesitate to book this trip. Very relaxing and easy no matter your physical situation.

I had previously used the Star of Honolulu for the sunset dinner cruise, but this was my first time participating in another activity. I was able to see whales from a distance. Even if you don't understand English, they provide simple explanations like "at 3 o'clock," so there's not much to worry about.
From the boat, I could enjoy the urban skyline of Waikiki alongside the natural beauty of Diamond Head, which truly felt like a Hawaiian landscape. The light snacks, like pineapple banana bread and Kona coffee, were delicious, making this activity enjoyable both as a whale watching experience and simply as a cruise.

We participated with four adults and a 0-year-old and a 3-year-old, bringing a foldable stroller. The elevator was available, so moving to the deck was not an issue, but we couldn't change diapers (we used the stroller to do that). The stroller was necessary for our subsequent plans, but we could leave our belongings at the table we were initially guided to, so it was great that it didn't get in the way while watching the whales.
I thought seeing the whales was completely a matter of luck, but in February, we were fortunate to see them! Two whales happened to swim back and forth quite close to the surface multiple times, allowing us to capture them with our eyes, not just on video or in photos, which was lucky! The captain announced in English, "They're at 10 o'clock!" or "Look to the 9 o'clock direction!" and we moved based on that and hints from those around us. There was one person who could speak a little Japanese, so for those who are not confident in English, it might be a good idea to stick with that person. By the way, my family also saw dolphins and turtles… I'm envious!
The guides on the way there and back were English speakers and very cheerful. Especially on the way back, they were flexible, changing our drop-off point and accepting requests for unexpected stops. Since the tour ended before noon, I was thinking about going to Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward, but I was unsure how to get there. However, I learned that it was possible to get off the bus along the way, which I wanted to take advantage of, but due to various circumstances, we ended up getting off at our hotel.
I want to come back again when the kids are older!
0歳3歳大人4人、折り畳めるベビーカー持参で参加しました。エレベーター完備なので、デッキへの移動は問題ないのですが、おむつ替えは出来ませんでした(ベビーカーを使って換えました)。その後の予定のために必要だったベビーカーですが、最初に案内されるテーブルに荷物を置いて行けるので、鯨を観る時には邪魔にならず良かったです。
鯨は完全に運だとは思いましたが、流石に2月!しっかり会えました。たまたま2頭が結構近くの海面を何度も行ったり来たりしてくれたお陰で、ビデオや写真だけに追われず肉眼でも捉える事ができて、ラッキーでした!船長さんが、10時にいるよ!とか9時方向だ!とか英語でアナウンスしてくれるのと、周りの人をヒントに移動しました。お一人、日本語が少し話せる方もいたので、英語苦手な方はその方にくっついていくのもありかもです。
ちなみに、私の家族はイルカとカメも見たとの事…羨ましい
行き帰りは英語のガイドさん。行きも帰りも、陽気な方達でした。特に帰りは、降りる場所を変更してくれたり、予定外の停車場所もリクエスト受け付けてくれたりと、臨機応変に対応していました。ツアーが昼前に終わるので、その後はアラモアナショッピングセンターでと考えていましたが、どうやって行くか悩んでいました。でも、バスの途中下車が可能との事でこちらを上手く活用…したかったのですが、色々あって結局自分達のホテルで降りました。

I was concerned that it might be difficult for my elderly mother and me to participate in the tour due to the tight schedule, but the guide was very considerate throughout the day, allowing us to have a comfortable experience.
The tour was designed to efficiently enjoy sightseeing on Oahu, with opportunities to indulge in various gourmet foods and shopping in between. We visited the latest gourmet spots, starting with Leonard's for garlic shrimp, craft beer, and the locally popular banana bread. In Haleiwa, we enjoyed Matsumoto Shave Ice. The guide also introduced us to many other delicious foods.
We were very lucky to see whales and sea turtles along the way. At the macadamia nut store included in the tour, we could freely sample various flavors while enjoying coffee. At the coffee farm, we not only tasted coffee but also toured the plantation. This farm is located very close to a power spot, and I quickly purchased some energy-packed coffee beans as souvenirs!
Our guide, Jonathan, was incredibly helpful. He made sure that we could communicate and enjoy ourselves with the other participants during the drive, and he was very kind and friendly.
I would love to participate again! Thank you very much.
色々な所を回るので高齢の母と2人で参加するには、タイトなスケジュールで大変かな?と思いましたが、終始ガイドさんが色々と気遣ってくださり快適に1日過ごすことができました。
ツアーの内容は、効率よくオワフ島観光が楽しめるようになっており、合間には色々なグルメやショッピングを楽しむことができます。
レーナーズのマナサラをはじめ最新のグルメスポットでガーリックシュリンプやクラフトビール、ローカルの方にも人気のバナナブレッド、ハレイワの街ではマツモトシェーブアイスをいただきました。そのほかにも色々なグルメをガイドさんが案内してくださいます。
私たちはとてもラッキーで、途中クジラやウミガメを見ることもできました。
ツアーの中に含まれている、マカダミアナッツのお店では色々なフレーバーの味をコーヒーをいただきながら自由に試食することができます。
コーヒーファームでは、コーヒーの試飲だけでなく農園の見学もできます。こちらの農園はパワースポットのすぐ近くにあり、エネルギーの籠ったコーヒー豆を早速お土産に購入させて頂きました!
ガイドのジョナサンには本当にお世話になりました、車中でも他の参加者の方と楽しくコミュニケーションが取れるよう気遣ってくださったりと、とても親切で優しいガイドさんでした。
また参加させて頂きますね!有難うございました。
I recommend planning to participate early after arriving in Honolulu, as you can get the latest local information and restaurant details.
現地の最新事情、レストランの情報などもお伺いできるので、ホノルル到着後早めに参加を予定されることをお勧めします。

The trip became the worst due to the driver's initial tardiness, lack of explanation, and unpleasantness. I was helped by Veltour in dealing with the troubles, but I do not recommend traveling alone.
ドライバーさんの最初の遅刻から、説明不足や感じの悪さを含め最低の旅になりました。
ヴェルトラさんがトラブルに対応してくれたから助かりましたが、一人旅の利用はおススメしません。
Thank you for your response from VELTRA.

I participated in mid-February!
It was rainy, but thanks to that, it wasn't too hot, and I was able to look for whales from the deck.
During the ride to the meeting point, the guide talked a lot about the area and sightseeing, making the trip enjoyable.
On the boat, we were served delicious original cake and coffee before departure, which served as a nice breakfast. The original pineapple banana cake was moist and tasty.
During the whale watching, the guide indicated where the whales were based on the direction of the clock, so there was a high probability of seeing whales multiple times.
Not only did we see whales, but we were also lucky enough to see sea turtles up close!
The view from the boat was also amazing, and I was moved by the beauty of Diamond Head and the horizon.
It became a wonderful memory, and I am very satisfied.
2月中旬に参加しました!
雨模様だったのですがそのおかげで暑すぎることなく、デッキでクジラを探すことが出来ました。
お迎えの車中ではガイドさんがエリアや観光についてたくさん話して下さり、移動も楽しかったです。
船では美味しいオリジナルケーキとコーヒーが出港前に食べられるので、朝ごはん代わりになりました。オリジナルのパイナップルバナナケーキはしっとりしてて美味しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングの最中は時計の方向でクジラがどこにいるかを教えてくれるので殆どの確率で何度かクジラを見ることが出来ます。
クジラだけではなくウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たのでとても幸運でした!
そして船上からの景色も素晴らしく、ダイヤモンドヘッドや水平線の美しさに感動しました。
とても素敵な思い出になり、満足です。
It can be cold on the boat, so it's important to wear a jacket and a hat that won't get blown away. Also, the floor inside the boat can be slippery with water, so I recommend wearing sneakers.
船上は寒いので羽織れる洋服と帽子は飛ばされないように注意が必要です。あと船の中は水で滑るのでスニーカーが良いと思います。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat (and it was great that you also saw sea turtles). We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

It was my first time enjoying a beach other than Waikiki this much! It was a tour where I could fully enjoy the scenery that screams "I've arrived in Hawaii!"
ワイキキ以外のビーチを、こんなに堪能したのは初めてでした!ハワイにキター!っていう景色を存分に楽しめるツアーでした!

I took TheBus to the meeting point. It was $7 round trip (since it's $7 for unlimited rides in a day). It's necessary to check in advance how to ride TheBus and how to find routes (you can find bus stops using Google). Upon arriving at the meeting point, you will present your voucher (which is sent via email after booking) for check-in.
Once on board, there was an unlimited supply of fruit cake and coffee (though I couldn't eat that much). As for finding whales, the spouts are a good indicator. I witnessed a few spouts, but they rarely appeared above the water. I participated with the image from the last attached photo in mind, but this time we only managed to see the tail fin to some extent during the whale watching.
集合場所にはTheBusで行きました。往復$7でOKです(一日$7で乗り放題なので)。TheBusの乗り方や経路(Googleでバス停が案内可能です)の調べ方は事前に確認が必要です。集合場所に到着するとバウチャー(予約完了後にメールで送られる)を提示して受付となります。
乗船後はフルーツケーキやコーヒーなどは食べ放題、飲み放題でした(そんなに食べられませんが)。クジラの探し方としては、潮吹きが目印となります。何回か潮吹きを目撃しましたが、海上に現れることは少なかったです。添付の最後の写真をイメージして参加しましたが、今回は尾びれを確認できる程度のウォッチング結果でした。
If whales are not seen (it's a bit gray how much), it seems you can participate again. Whether you can witness them depends solely on timing, so all we can do is pray.
クジラが見られない場合は(どの程度かグレーですが)、再度参加可能とのこと。目撃できるかはタイミングしかないので、祈るしかないですね。
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the snacks. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

The probability of not seeing whales is said to be low, but when you go for a revenge trip, there is no shuttle service, so using a bus or similar means will be cheaper.
