Oahu
Tour guide was very fun & knowledgeable.
Saw lots of the island.
Nice that there was only 3 others besides myself & my husband.
Diamond Head, which I had always wanted to climb at least once! The ascent was gentle, but it was quite hard. Still, when I saw the view from the top, I thought it was worth coming here!
After that, I got to meet some turtles at a beautiful beach, and I was able to visit Kualoa and Haleiwa, which was a great experience. Our guide, Jonathan, was very kind, thank you!
一度は登ってみたいと思っていたダイヤモンドヘッド！登りはゆるやかでしたが、なかなかハード。それでも頂上からの景色を見たら、来てよかった〜と思いました。
その後の綺麗なビーチで亀に出会ったり、クアロアやハレイワにも行くことができて満喫できました。ガイドのジョナサンとっても親切で、ありがとうございました。

This tour offers more than just what is on the pamphlet. First of all, the trip to the Dole Plantation provided different attractions that are relaxing and self paced with beautiful backgrounds for pictures. There was a large gift shop for those who enjoy a little vacation shopping with a food court where everyone should try at least one of the special pineapple menu items. Secondly, the stop to Haleiwa was a short distance from Dole, and there's so many shops to visit just by walking in a straight line. If you keep moving, you're bound to find something you that interests you, like the shaved ice, surf shops, and snoopy store. For each stop, the tour provides about an hour or two for you to explore yourselves, which is plenty, so you won't have the feeling have being rushed.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the two main stops of the tour, but what made the trip so memorable is the staff and driver of your bus. Our driver was Marlon, and he made it his second priority to make sure everyone in our group knew what options they had before reaching each stop so that we could plan accordingly once we arrive. Of course his first priority was ensuring our safety and comfort, making the tour easier for us to kick back and enjoy. During the extra free time, he even took us to a nearby coffee shop that grows and grinds their own beans. That's something he added to the tour himself since we had free time, but also because he wanted to show us more of the island. He has an excellent sense of humor, and everyone in our group felt comfortable approaching him. He even speaks multiple languages for the passengers that may not be fully fluent in English. During the stops, I noticed him walking around offering to take family photos, starting conversations with people about the places we visited, and answering any questions they had. He is an amazing driver, awesome tour guide, and overall just a friendly person you'd want to have with you when visiting new places.
The atmosphere of the town felt unchanged, but I was surprised to hear for the first time about the incidents of the stolen Ohtani rock and signs. There were various new shops, but I was able to spend a peaceful time.
街の雰囲気は変わってない感じでしたが、大谷岩や看板が盗まれた事件などは初めて聞いてびっくりでした。ショップは色々増えていましたがのどかな時間を過ごせました。
You should definitely go for the Furi Furi Chicken first! ♪

Segway, which I wanted to experience at least once since I saw it on TV a few years ago! This time, I participated with my family of four. It was fun to ride along the coast while receiving the gazes and smiles of many people. Remi Hirano's talk was also fantastic! We took a lot of photos (my phone that I handed over was left with only 2% battery, haha). I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!
何年か前にTVで観てから一度は体験してみたかったセグウェイ！今回は家族４人での参加でした。たくさんの人の視線と笑顔を受けながら海岸沿いを走るのは楽しかったです。ハワイの平野レミさんのトークも最高！写真もいっぱい(預けた携帯の充電が残り2%笑)撮っていただきました。またハワイに行ったら参加したいですね。

I booked the round-trip transportation plan for the Royal seats. It wasn’t cheap, but I’m really glad I chose it. It was absolutely worth it; the performance was truly amazing!!

It was very impressive. I had a standard passport valid for two days, but unfortunately, I could only go for one day due to the length of my stay, which was very disappointing.
At the Battleship Missouri, a guide who spoke in the visitors' language thoroughly showed us the highlights of the ship. You can catch a glimpse of the situation surrounding the outbreak and conclusion of World War II from both Japan's and America's perspectives. I felt the curiosity of how the United States has created such a facility without leaning towards either side.
大変見応えがありました。 2日間有効なスタンダードパスポートだったのですが、滞在日数の関係で1日しか行く事ができなったのがとても残念です。
戦艦ミズーリでは訪問者の言語に合わせたガイドの方が、艦内の見所をしっかり案内して下さいました。
日本、アメリカそれぞれの立場から第二次大戦開戦そして集結の状況を垣間見る事ができます。どちらかに偏る事なくこういう施設をしっかりと作っているアメリカという国の不思議さを感じました。

I went to Pearl Harbor and it was a really interesting place to visit, but there were some parts I liked more than others.
My favorite part was the airplane area. We went to the Top of the Tower (paid extra $10.00 ) and saw 360 degree view of Pearl Harbor. There was one section in the back (kind of like a shed) which I found the coolest planes. I also really liked the submarine. It wasn’t very big, but it was cool because you could see how people actually lived inside. The beds were super small, and it made me imagine how hard life must have been there.
The USS Missouri wasn’t that exciting to me because I didn’t really find anything very interesting there. Also, the bus rides to go back and forth was a little boring and it felt like a waste of time.
One important tip is to eat a good breakfast before you go. Once you start visiting everything, you
We enjoyed our trip to the Dole plantation and on to Haleiwa. Our driver Chris was very knowledgeable and pointed out many of the local points of interest on the way to and from our destination. The train ride at Dole was worth taking and the Dole whip was very tasty. We did a little shopping there to which did not really leave us much time to tour the garden area. It would be a great idea to add 30 minutes more to the time here giving longer to do at least two of the three activities here (train, garden, and maze). The cost of the train & garden combo ticket was $19.99. After that it was on to Haleiwa. Chris gave multiple recommendations on where to eat and we chose the 7 Brothers hamburgers from his list. The hamburgers here did not disappoint. Both my wife and enjoyed our burgers and we split an order of fries. Despite having had breakfast and a Dole whip already that morning the burgers were just so good we had to finish them :-). After some shopping it was time to go back to our hotel. On the way back Chris had some suggestions on things to do and places to see before our time in Hawaii is done.
The only negative comments we had were that the bus seemed a little dated, it had a small problem with its “kneeling” feature and there were no cup holders for our drinks. Would definitely recommend Chris and this trip.
Comfortable shoes for walking, sunscreen and sunscreen water. Dole whip is a must!
We had such a great time on the Full-Day Hawaii Food Tour. Chris was our guide and he absolutely made the experience. He knew so much about the island and the food, and he kept the whole day running smoothly. Every stop was ready for us, no waiting around, just great food and great stories. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
If you can request a guide, ask for Chris!
The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.
Thank you for joining our tour. Hawaii has experienced continued bad weather this year, and there have been occasions when the horseback riding tour had to be canceled due to weather conditions. We sincerely apologize regarding the amount of time spent at Dole Plantation. We have reconfirmed the schedule with the driver to help prevent this from happening again. Please note that the stop in Haleiwa Town is part of tour itinerary. We understand that it may not have matched your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback.
Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!
Best experience and best driver. All of attended member said it was the greatest.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you again the next time you visit Hawaii.
Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide
I used it for the first time on the North Shore. I went without studying any English at all, but thanks to the friendly and attentive guide, it was a fulfilling experience! Thank you, Kuri-chan!

On the last morning in Honolulu, I signed up for this tour. I chose the earliest pickup time. The day before, I received a text message in English confirming the meeting time and location.
On the morning of the tour, I was waiting to see if someone would come to call my name in the lobby. When a large vehicle arrived, I thought it might be for me, and I should have spoken up, but I waited until I was called. Eventually, about five minutes later, the driver got out of the car and called my name. I thought it would be smoother if they also provided the car's license plate number via text in case no one came to call me.
The same driver was shuttling between the hotel and Diamond Head. Although they said they would pick me up at 8:35, they ended up being 30 minutes late. Since the hotel checkout was until 12:00, I was able to take a shower and change after returning to the hotel before heading to the airport. However, I know some hotels have a 10:00 checkout, so I was surprised by the 30-minute delay on the return trip. Moreover, the excuse was that they had to go to seven different hotels, and that group was late by 2-3 minutes each, causing the 30-minute delay. As I mentioned earlier, I believe if they had called names right away during the gathering, it wouldn't have taken so long.
ホノルル最終日の朝、このツアーに申し込みました。1番早いピックアップ時間に申し込みしました。前日にショートメールが英文で届き待ち合わせ時間と集合場所の確認メールが届きます。
当日の朝、ロビーまで名前を呼びに来るのかな？と思い、待っていました。大きな車が来たからそれかな？と思いこちらからも声をかけたら良かったのですが、呼ばれるまで待っていました。でも結局5分後くらいにその車からドライバーが降りて名前を呼んできました。もし呼びに来ないなら、車のナンバーなどもショートメールで教えてくれたらスムーズだと思った。同じドライバーが一台の車をピストンさせて、ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドの送迎をしています。帰りは8:35に迎えに来ると言っていたのに結局30分も遅刻してお迎えに来ました。ホテルのチェックアウトが12:00までだったので、今回はホテルに戻った後にシャワーを浴びて着替えてから飛行機に乗れましたがチェックアウトが10:00のホテルもあると思うので帰りの30分の遅刻は、驚きました。しかも、言い訳が7個のホテルを回ってそのグループが2.3分ずつ遅刻して30分遅れたとのこと‥最初にも書きましたが、集合時すぐに名前を呼んで乗車されたらそんなに時間が遅くならないと思いました。
Since it's Hawaii time, it's also our group's responsibility for planning at the last minute, but the driver is not punctual. They are selling flimsy plastic ponchos for $5 in the car. It would be fin
ハワイ時間なので、ギリギリで予定を立てた私たちグループの責任でもありますが、ドライバーが時間にルーズです。車の中でペラペラのビニールポンチョを5ドルで販売しています。事前に100均で準備すればok!!

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for a tour to Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation that I had been wanting to visit. The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which helped deepen my understanding while also exposing me to English, making the tour enjoyable until the end. At Dole, the guide explained how to enjoy the attractions and the tickets, so I was able to fully enjoy the train ride, pineapple ice cream, and even souvenirs. In Haleiwa, I strolled around and had garlic shrimp and hamburgers. The local atmosphere was great. Since it was a half-day tour, it wasn't too tiring, and it was just right.
今回初めてのハワイで、行きたかったハレイワタウンとドールプランテーションのツアーを申込みました。ガイドさんが日本語と英語で説明をしてくれて、英語にも触れつつ、日本語で理解が深まったので最後まで楽しいツアーでした。ドールでは、楽しみ方のポイントやチケットの説明もしてくれたので、列車やパイナップルアイス、お土産まで満足に楽しむことができました。ハレイワでは、全体を散歩しつつ、ガーリックシュリンプやハンバーガーを食べました。ローカルな雰囲気が良かったです。半日のツアーなので疲れすぎず、ちょうど良かったです。
In Haleiwa, there are so many shops that you might get confused about what to eat, so I think it's a good idea to do some research in advance to make things smoother!
ハレイワでは、お店がたくさんあって何を食べるか迷ってしまうので、事前に調べておくとスムーズだと思います！
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠に有難うございました。初めてのハワイ旅行で選んで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。ドールプランテーションとハレイワも存分に楽しまれた様子がうかがえてドライバーも喜んでおります。ローカルな美味しいお食事も良かったですね。素敵な口コミとお写真も有難うございます。またハワイでお待ちしております。

I chose this tour on a large ship because I was worried about seasickness. The observation deck had some swaying, so I watched from a cabin on the first floor, but I was still able to see the whales' spouts and tails. It seems that those who are less sensitive to motion can see much more from the observation deck. The pineapple banana cake was delicious.
船酔いが心配で大きな船のこのツアーを選びました。
展望デッキは揺れもあったので、1階の客室で見ていましたが、何とかクジラの潮吹きや尾っぽを見ることができました。
揺れに強い方が展望デッキの方がたくさん見れるようです。
パイナップルバナナケーキが美味しかったです。
If you're going to the observation deck, you need to prepare a hat and sunglasses that won't get blown away, as well as sunscreen.
展望デッキで見るなら飛ばされない帽子とサングラス、日焼け止めをご準備必要です。

During the hike up Diamond Head, I was with two Indian people, but for the subsequent tours, I was alone. I was able to receive proper explanations at each location, and I had a very meaningful time with plenty of time to spare. It was great to have enjoyable conversations while traveling as well.

Was a nice and fun experience never. Weather was really nice in the afternoon. There so much to do and see not enough time for everything lol . We also had a really good tour guid his name was Sam .
The Pearl Harbor Tour was everything I hoped it would be. Patrick was our very helpful and courteous bus driver and guide, and he was an excellent stand-in for Bob Hope who couldn’t be there. Patrick regaled us with jokes and historical anecdotes about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Though his Elvis Presley and Don Ho imitations need a little work, Patrick made the trip quite enjoyable. I did not previously know about Elvis Presley’s contribution to the Arizona Memorial, nor did I know that the Walmart in Oahu had to keep its Spam under lock and key because it is a highly pilfered item in Hawaii. Mahalo, Patrick.
Bus seats on the driver's right afford the best vantage to take pictures while in the Punch Bowl.
Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, riding the e-bike through Kualoa was very pleasant, and I would love to participate again. Since the bike can splash mud, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty for those who will be joining in the future. The mud isn't just from the ground; it also includes oil from the four-wheeler buggies, which didn't come off even after washing at home. Also, sandals and Crocs are not allowed, and I was advised to buy water walking shoes sold at the souvenir shop. At the beginning of the tour, there is an explanation of the e-bikes and a test ride. It's not difficult, so I think anyone who can ride a regular bike will be fine. There will be time to stop and take photos at movie filming locations and air raid shelters. The guide speaks only English, so if you understand English, it will be even more enjoyable.

I experienced the USS Missouri, which was an active battleship until recently. There was so much I didn't know about the wartime situation, the Japanese Imperial Army, the Kamikaze attacks, and the Missouri's role after the Pacific War. It was very educational. Spending a whole day there was definitely worth it.

The tour on the Star of Honolulu was great. They served snacks, and the atmosphere was nice. As for the whales, I think I saw them in the distance, and I might have caught a glimpse of a tail, but I’m not sure if I actually saw them. However, the cruise in the beautiful ocean was wonderful, and the weather was perfect, so I really enjoyed it. It might be best to think of it as a lucky bonus if you get to see whales while participating in the cruise.
スターオブホノルルでのツアー。お菓子もでてきて、雰囲気はよかったです。クジラに関しては、遠くにみえて、しっぽが少し見えた気がしたりなど、見えていないのかもしれません。ただ、美しい海でのクルーズ、気候も良くて本当に楽しむことができました、クルーズとして参加しくじらは見れればラッキーくらいで考えるのがいいかもしれません。
