All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Great evenings, lots of laughter and fun learning experiences in the beginning that was a fun way to start the luau!

perfect pair after a relaxing pool day, delish cuisine and lots of fun happening on board!

Family really appreciated to get to see the PH as it is a once in a lifetime you get to!

My family loved an easy way to get away from the city for a day with a great guide!

We were The only ones signed up to Haleiwa and they still ran the shuttle. Felt bad for the driver but they held the commitment of our transportation. Driver picked us up on time in both directions and it was a comfortable ride

I had an awesome time. All staff were very attentive and kind. Loved the entertainment. Food was amazing.

This was our second trip on the Star of Honolulu, the first being 9 years ago. I paid more this time for an upgraded meal. The meal was good, but I think we would have been happier with just the buffet. The upgrade wasn’t really worth the price we paid. The entertainment was good and the views were spectacular! If we come to Hawai’i again, I think we’ll just get the lowest price meal and still do the cruise.

Wow! What a great time. Definitely a highlight of our vacation. A must-see!!

The jungle tour involves driving through the mountains to get close to the summit, offering breathtaking views. Since it's by car, it's quick, but if you were to hike it, it would take more than half a day. As mentioned in other experiences, there is quite a bit of dust, especially when a four-wheeler is ahead of you. Perhaps because it's the dry season, the surrounding trees are changing color. If you're sensitive to dust, wearing a mask might be a good idea. As for the movie filming locations, I haven't watched many films, so the only one I recognized was Jurassic Park. The farm tour was great, especially the cacao tasting.

ジャングルツアーは車で山のなかを走って頂上に近いところまで行って絶景です　車なので早いですが自力で登ったら半日以上かかります　体験談にもあったけど砂埃は結構あります　特に四輪バギーが前を走ったら酷い　乾季だからなのか周りの木々も色が変わっている位　嫌いな人はマスクしたらいいかもしれません　映画のロケ地は余り映画を観ていないのでジェラシックパークくらいしかわかりませんでした　農園ツアーはカカオ試食が良かったです

I made a reservation for the trolley bus to Diamond Head. The day before using it, I presented my confirmation at the LeaLea Lounge on the third floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center and exchanged it for my boarding pass. At that time, I received the route and timetable for each line at the counter, which was convenient to carry around. The trolley to Diamond Head operates early in the morning, but you can't climb the mountain in the evening, so the trolley service ended around that time. Additionally, it gets crowded, so the staff advised me to board the first trolley at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I was able to travel while feeling the Hawaiian breeze in an open vehicle. Since the conditions allowed for unlimited use throughout the day, I took the trolley on the East Oahu route that departs at 2:30 PM, which only runs twice a day in the afternoon.

ダイアモンドヘッドに行くトロリーバス目当てで予約しました。利用する前日にロイヤル・ハワイアン・センターＢ館の３階にあるLeaLeaラウンジで確認書を提示し、乗車券に引き換えました。その際、窓口で各路線のルートと時刻表をもらいましたので、それを携帯しながら回れ便利でした。ダイアモンドヘッドに行くトロリーは朝早くから運行していますが、夕方くらいで山に登れなくなるので、トロリーは夕方くらいで終わりました。また、混雑するのでスタッフの方に始発のロイヤル・ハワイアン・センターで乗車するようアドバイスをいただきました。窓のない車でハワイの風を感じながら移動できました。１日何度でも利用できる条件でしたので、午後は１日２便しか運行していない１４時３０分発、東オアフルートのトロリーに乗りました。

It's a 5-star experience, and the price is around 35,000 yen per person, so I was worried about table manners... but those worries were unnecessary! It was surprisingly casual, as you could stand up and walk out to the deck during the meal. I think it mentioned that "men's dress code is collared shirts," but there were definitely people in T-shirts. The non-alcoholic cocktails were delicious!

5スター、日本円で35,000円/1人くらいの値段なので、テーブルマナー大丈夫かな…
など心配しましたが、いらぬ心配でした！
食事中に立って歩いてデッキに出るのも自由なので意外とフランクにすごしました。
「男性のドレスコードは襟付きの服」と書かれていた気がしますが、全然Tシャツの人もいました。
ノンアルカクテル美味しかったです！

Our first times...suprisingly not what we expected, it was MORE than! Had so much fun and maybe we'll take another cruise soon.

We Had a fabulous evening, great shows and food was fantastic

It was a condensed plan! The Kaneohe Bay cruise included a shuttle bus to the boat, which was an activity in itself, and it felt refreshing with the windows wide open. We rode on two types of boats, walked on the island, and the sea was beautiful. We were able to see coral reefs and honu in the shallow waters, and everywhere we looked was a photo opportunity; it was all so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.

The movie location bus tour had us boarding at the end, so our family of four ended up sitting separately... But in a way, it allowed us to interact with tourists from overseas. There was only one other Japanese group besides us.

The bus driver and guide performed a hula dance at the end, and it was incredibly moving! Even without a costume, there was an instant beautiful aura. I felt that this dance was a prayer.

My teenage son said he wants to experience something more active next time, like horseback riding or buggies, but my grandmother in her 70s was very happy with everything. We also bought the photos taken before the tour as a keepsake on our way back. I highly recommend it.

凝縮されたプランでした!
カネオヘ湾クルーズは、船までの送迎バスもアクテビティのひとつ、窓全開で爽快でした。船も2種類に乗り、島を歩くし、海も綺麗、浅瀬ではサンゴ礁やホヌも見ることができて、道中、どこをとっても、全ての景色がフォトチャンス、綺麗で、大満喫でした。
映画ロケ地バスツアーは、最後に並んで乗り込んでしまったので、家族4人がばらばらの相席に‥。それもそれで、海外からの観光客と、交流できたように思います。日本人は、私たちの他に1組だけいらっしゃいました。
バスのドライバー兼ガイドさんが、最後に、フラを踊ってくれたのですが、その踊りが、大変感動的でした！衣装をきてなくても、一瞬で美しいオーラに。この踊りは祈りなんだなと、感じました。
10代の息子は次は、馬とかバギーとかアクティブなものを体験したいと言ってましたが、70代の祖母は、どれも大変喜んでました。ツアー前に撮ってもらった写真も、帰りに記念に買ってきました。お勧めです。

Beautiful property.
Our only struggle was the waiting time for the shuttle.

Since I had previously participated in a tour around Oahu, I chose this tour because it was different. While most tours cover similar areas, the destinations vary, and this tour focused more on trying local food, in addition to the stunning ocean views. However, even though it was a tasting experience, there was no pressure to make purchases, which was reassuring.

Also, the guide this time was an elderly Japanese man with quite a unique personality, so it might not suit everyone, but I think those who are less concerned about such things will enjoy it more.

以前にオアフ島１周するツアーにも参加したことがあるため、今回は違ったツアーということでこのツアーを選びました。どのツアーもだいたい同じところを走るのですが、訪問先が異なり、今回のツアーは、海の絶景もさることながら、どちらかというとローカルフードが試食できるのがメインのツアーでした。ただ、試食といっても、無理に購入させられることはなかったので、そのあたりは安心です。
あと、今回のガイドさんは日本人の高齢の方で、かなり癖がある方でしたので、合う合わないはあるかもしれませんが、あまり気にしない方が楽しめると思いました。

On the first day of arrival, since I couldn't predict my time and physical condition, I decided to take the Waikiki Trolley. Although I could purchase tickets on-site, I opted to make a reservation in advance. After making the reservation, I showed my voucher at the local counter and exchanged it for a paper ticket (it seems that if you book through the official website, you can receive an electronic ticket).

This time, I purchased a one-day pass, but unlike other companies, the Waikiki Trolley's one-day pass is valid for two consecutive days, so I used it over two days to ride three routes (Blue, Green, and Red). From my experience, the recommendations for sightseeing points and how to spend time varied depending on the driver, but I appreciated that it took us to various tourist spots around Waikiki.

Additionally, in terms of differences from other trolley buses, aside from the fare and destinations, I got the impression that the clientele was different. While the Waikiki Trolley carries tourists from America, the High Bus and LeaLea Trolley seemed to mainly cater to Japanese tourists. However, in any case, it was rarely fully booked, and unlike The Bus, the interior was open, allowing us to enjoy the pleasant Hawaiian breeze while sightseeing.

到着初日は時間と体調が読めないために、ワイキキトロリーに乗ろうと思っており、事前に手配できることはしておこうと、当日現地で購入することもできますけど、事前申し込みをしました。申し込み後、現地のカウンターで、バウチャーを見せ、紙のチケットに交換してもらうという形です（公式サイトから予約すると電子チケットが受け取れるようです）。
今回、一日券を購入しましたが、ワイキキトロリーは他社と違って、今のところ一日券は連続する2日間有効なので、２日間かけて3路線（ブルー・グリーン・レッド）乗車しました。乗った感想では、運転手さんによって、この観光ポイントを見てもらいたい、というおすすめの場所と時間の使い方が違いますが、ワイキキ周辺の観光地を訪問してくれるのがありがたかったです。
また、他社のトロリーバスとの違いですが、料金や訪問先以外には、見たところ客層が異なるという印象を受けました。ワイキキトロリーはアメリカ人などの観光客も乗車しますが、ハイバスやLeaLeaトロリーは日本人観光客が中心という印象を受けました。ただ、いずれにしてもあまり満席になることは少なかったですし、ザ・バスと違って車内はオープンなので、ハワイの心地よい風を受けながら、観光ができてよかったです。

I was really looking forward to coming to Kualoa Ranch since I've watched the Jurassic Park series countless times with my son. After arriving in Hawaii, I finally made it to this dream destination. The moment I saw the movie scenery in person, I was so moved that I got goosebumps! Not only from the Jurassic series, but also from movies like "50 First Dates," which I had watched without knowing it was filmed here, and "Kong," which I saw on the ANA flight. I was constantly surprised to find that many movies I had seen were filmed at Kualoa Ranch. As a movie lover, it was truly a blissful time.

The lunch buffet included in the tour was hearty and quite delicious. The spare ribs, in particular, were very satisfying. Considering that one meal is included, the tour price felt like a great deal. Dining while overlooking Hawaii's great nature was wonderful.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy two types of cruises: one on the lake (or pond?) and one at sea. The weather turned a bit bad during the sea cruise, but seeing Kualoa Ranch from the ocean was impressive and reminiscent of the opening scene from the first Jurassic Park. Although the cruise wasn't very long, it was enough to fully enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty.

Kualoa Ranch offers various plans, but I highly recommend this one!

ジュラシックパークのシリーズを何度となく息子と見てきたので、クアロアランチに来るのを本当に楽しみにしていました。ハワイに到着し、いよいよ憧れの地へ。映画の風景を目の当たりにした瞬間は鳥肌が立つくらい感動しました！ジュラシックシリーズだけでなく、ここがロケ地だと知らずに見ていた映画「50回目のファーストキス」、行きのANAの飛行機の中で見た映画「コング」など、見たことがあるたくさんの映画のロケがクアロアランチで行われていて、「おー！」と驚いてばかり。映画好きとしては、本当に至福の時間でした。

ツアーに含まれているランチビュッフェはボリューム満点で、味もなかなか美味しかったです。特にスペアリブが食べ応えがあります。1回の食事が含まれていると思うと、ツアー代金がお得に感じます。ハワイの大自然を眺めながらの食事は素敵でした。

午後のクルーズは湖（池？）と海の2種類のクルーズが楽しめます。海のクルーズの途中で少し天気が悪くなってきたのですが、海から見るクアロアランチは迫力があり、最初のジュラシックパークの冒頭シーンを彷彿させます。時間としてはそれほど長くありませんが、ハワイの自然を満喫するのには十分でした。

クアロアランチには色々なプランがありますが、このプランはお勧めです！

Very much enjoyed this small group tour. I would definitely recommend. We had great time! John, our tour guide, was fantastic….

kids and adults loved the fun day we had would recommend it to all ages...

This was my first time participating in a Segway tour in Waikiki. We started by admiring the wall art in Kaka'ako and then rode through the yacht harbor, beach park, and the center of Waikiki, all the way to the ridge near Diamond Head, experiencing a variety of landscapes.

One area that was particularly interesting was where traditional Hawaiian homes are preserved, which is not often visited by tourists. The guides and staff were very kind, and I am truly grateful for that.

It was a fun and quick three hours. I will definitely join again the next time I visit Hawaii!

ワイキキでのセグウェイは初めての参加です。
カカアコのウォールアートを眺めながらスタートし、ヨットハーバー、ビーチパーク、ワイキキの中心街を抜け、動物園からダイヤモンドヘッド近くの峠まで、変化に富んだ景色の中を走ります。
中でも観光ではなかなか訪れることの無い、ハワイの伝統的な住居が保存されているエリアはとても興味深かったです。
ガイドやスタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、心より感謝しました。
楽しくてあっと言う間の３時間でした。
次回ハワイに行った際は、また参加させていただきます！

When we arrived at Kualoa Ranch we had difficulty finding the right check-in desk and line to go in. We had bought tickets online, but we had to wait in the same long line as those who still needed to get tickets. This process was not organized very well. However, once we got to our tour bus, for the Jurassic Park Adventure, everything was done well. Our guide, Eli (not sure on the spelling) was informative, knowledgeable and funny. He stopped at a Macadamia Tree and cracked open nuts for us to try (this was towards the end of June). We stopped at various movie sites, and had plenty of time to take pictures and look around. The scenery is beautiful and I highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed our hike at Diamond Head. Gorgeous views! Go early. It gets hot. Driver was nice and provided us water. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

I had been curious about the Five Star Dinner Cruise for a while. My husband was hesitant because he gets seasick, but it turned out to be a great decision to go.

From before boarding, we were welcomed with hula and music, which really set the mood. As soon as we boarded, they provided us with motion sickness medication, so my husband said he felt almost no nausea.

The meal included champagne, salad, lobster, steak, and dessert, along with two drinks of our choice. There was also piano music and live singing, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

On Friday, we enjoyed the Hilton fireworks, and there was even a surprise proposal among the guests, making it a very lively cruise. I would love to take this cruise again if I have the chance.

以前から気になっていたファイブスターディナークルーズ、夫が船酔いするので躊躇してましたが、行って正解でした。
乗船前からフラとミュージックで歓迎があり、雰囲気を盛り上げます。
乗船してすぐに酔い止め薬をもらえたので、ほぼ酔わずに良かったと言ってました。
食事はシャンパン、サラダにロブスターにステーキとデザート、他に好きな飲み物2杯チョイスできました。
ピアノ演奏に生歌もありとてもいい雰囲気でした、
金曜日のヒルトン花火もありの、お客様の中でサプライズプロポーズする方がいたりと、とても盛り上がったクルーズでした。
機会があればまた利用したいです。

Everything was perfect, but mostly for entertainment was awesome!

The driver was outstanding and knew what she was talking about

Chief was Funny.
Bus trip was excellent
Cousin Greg was awesome

The venue was awesome, the traditional showcases were great, and it was a sweet cultural journey through islands of Polynesia.

We appreciated the Chief's showmanship and humor as well as the dancers. Food was very good and we were thoroughly entertained.
Only negative is that we bought the package with transportation and it got us there after all the cultural activities were finished. That was disappointing since we could have just Ubered over and skipped the bus ride. Keep in mind that this Luau is quite a ways from the Waikiki area.

Great experience made all the better by Lola, our driver. She was the best!
