We had a great day, our driver Humu was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained getting there and coming back to our pick up place he was right on time overall it was a great experience, didn’t care for the food that was available at pearl harbor , we went to the Arizona memorial I think we should have done both tours the Missouri as well maybe next time.

Enjoyed seeing many things. John’s knowledge of the Island educated me of the area. He also made the trip very enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to other people.

Quick and easy morning, hotel pick up is easy and going through the park is a lot easier than it seemed before i got hoere

great day of history and reliving the past when walking through the PH grounds.

was skeptical as it shares a lot with wet n wild, however don't let that fool you as this was a way to end our trip! fabulous evening, nothing bad to say!

convenient pick up, easy day around the park, includes arizona tix

My daughter and I had a great time climbing Diamond Head. We could go at our own pace which was awesome.
My daughter also left her hat on the van and they got back to me super quick when I emailed them and we just picked it up from their office. Fantastic customer service.
Highly recommend this tour.

Great fun for the whole family! Older kids enjoy this too.

I had a amazing time!! Definitely recommend it to the employees of the condo we were staying at for future recommendations it was great learning about the culture

The senior couple in their 60s and their child in their 20s initially felt anxious, but the guide was very kind and provided a thorough lecture at the beginning. They also paid attention to us while we were on public roads, and we are very grateful to the guide! We touched on key points of interest and history, and riding the Segway under the blue sky while feeling the wind completely dispelled our initial anxiety. It was a wonderful experience. If we go again, we would love to join a tour to see the sunset at Magic Island!

60代シニア夫婦と20代子供の参加で、シニアは最初不安でしたが
初めにとても親切にレクチャーしていただき、公道に出ても気にかけて頂きガイドさんには大感謝です！！
要所要所で見所や、歴史にも触れ
青空の下
風を感じながらのセグウェイは最初の不安も一掃されて、とても良かったです。
次回行くことがあれば、マジックアイランドの夕日を見るツアーも行きたい！くらいです。

Absolutely fantastic show. Food was great! The chief was verrrrrrrrry entertaining! All around great time :)

Been wanting to do this for years
Got to see history in real life and see where all those men lived and worked
Photos of signing of surrender and military men of the past.
Even where a kamakize pilot flew into the ship and photos
Great adventure
Will recommend to my friends and family

Kilani, our bus driver, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor tour guide was also excellent and informative. It rained for a bit, but then stopped. The Missouri guide was excellent but only talked at the first two stops. I thought he would talk all through the tour. It probably would have been difficult to do with the narrow passageways though. I would suggest not bringing any kind of bag unless it is a see-through one because you can't take it inside the grounds - have to pay for a locker.

It seems to be a lesser-known facility for Japanese tourists, and while it's a bit away from Waikiki Beach, it was a very fulfilling museum. It compactly summarized not only the history of Hawaii but also the history of the volcanoes in the state, making it very educational for museum lovers. I wanted to see the planetarium show "The Hawaiian Sky Tonight," but it was only screened in the morning, so I couldn't catch it. I would like to go again.

日本人観光客にはマイナーな施設のようであり、ワイキキビーチから少し離れていますが、とても充実したミュージアムでした。ハワイの歴史だけでなくハワイ州の火山の歴史についてもコンパクトにまとめられており、ミュージアム好きには大変勉強になりました。プラネタリウムの「The Hawaiian Sky Tonight」も観たかったのですが、午前中のみの上映で観れませんでした。また行きたいです。

My husband and I did the half-day tour which included; the movie set tour on Kualoa Ranch and the boat ride. I thought we were actually going to stay at secret Beach for a little bit, but we did not. The movie tour was made, especially memorable by our awesome tour guide. She was hilarious and made the whole experience that much better. It’s an absolutely beautiful place and we enjoyed learning about the working ranch, and the Hawaiian culture. The buffet lunch in between both tours was also very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.

It was a great way to start the day. The ship was huge and comfortable. The multiple levels of the boat allowed different viewing experiences. We saw many whales. A bit far from the whales, but you don't want to scare the whales!
The staff was very knowledgeable and we learned a few new things about the whale.
Recommend it!

In the morning, coffee and bread at the farm.
This is incredibly delicious!
Feeling great, should I enter Waimea Canyon? I was debating, but I decided to go in.
It's cold, but what? It feels amazing!
I truly felt refreshed, surrounded by nature, and it was the best feeling ever.
I've never experienced anything like this in Hawaii before!
I finally met the gecko I wanted to see.
I have a strong feeling that something good is going to happen.
Even after returning to Japan, it continues.
Thank you, Toshi, for being an amazing guide.
Thanks to you, it was the best tour!

あさから、ファームにてコーヒーとパン
これが、最高に美味しい！
気分最高で、ワイメア渓谷へ
入るかどうか？悩んでいたけど、これは、入ろうと
冷たい、けど、なに？なに？ものすごく気持ちいい
本当に、スッキリした気分になり、自然に囲まれ、最高の気分になりました
今までのハワイで味わったことのない！
絶対、会いたかったゲッコー
会えました
絶対、良いことが起こる予感
日本へ帰ってからも、まだ、続いてます
toshiさん、最高に素敵なガイドをありがとうございます
あなたのおかげで最高のツアーでした

I participated in a whale watching tour for the first time. I was surprised by how big the boat was! There were a lot of customers as well. Since it’s a natural occurrence, the whales didn’t show up easily. Just when we were about to give up and head back to the dock, my eldest son shouted loudly, and when I looked over, a whale was just about to jump, which was very moving! It was really just a moment, so I couldn’t take any pictures. But seeing it up close became a wonderful memory. I definitely recommend participating at least once!

初めてホエールウォッチングのツアーに参加しました。
とても大きな船で、びっくりしました！！
お客さんもいっぱいでした。
自然のものなので、なかなか現れず。。諦めて帰ろうと船着場に向かっているときに長男が大声を出したので、そちらを見たらクジラがちょうどJUMPするところでとても感動しました！！
ほんと一瞬だったので、写真はとれず。でも間近で見れてとてもよい思い出になりました。
ぜひ一度参加して見てください。

We went as a family with our 4-year-old daughter. Since we included transportation to and from the hotel, we felt安心 (at ease) during our trip. We were able to see whales three times. The view from the sea was also very beautiful, so we were glad we participated.

４歳娘を連れて家族で行きました。
ホテルまでの送迎も付けたので行き帰りも安心でした。
クジラも３回見られました。
海からの景色もとても綺麗なので、参加して良かったです。

It was a young male guide named Kai. Despite the fact that we could hardly speak any English, he kindly guided us using his smartphone and simple words. I could feel his spirit of wanting us to enjoy ourselves to the fullest, and it was a lot of fun.

カイさんという若い男性ガイドさんでした。
こちらが英語をほとんど話せないにもかかわらずスマホや簡単な単語で、丁寧にガイドしてくれました。精一杯楽しんでもらおうという精神が感じられてとても楽しかったです。

It had been over 10 years since my last visit to Hawaii, and I have a few thoughts to share for those planning to go.

- The satisfaction of the tour can greatly vary depending on the guide. This is purely a matter of luck, but in my case, we had two buses, one with a guide and a driver, while the other had the driver also acting as the guide. There was a speaker located at the front, and if you were sitting in the back, you couldn't hear what was being said. The driver was a native Japanese person, but he spoke quickly and wasn't very articulate, making it hard to hear. Others also mentioned it was difficult to understand, but he said, "I have a lot to talk about, so I have to speak at this speed. This is normal for my hometown. Where are you from? Ah, in your area, people speak slowly," which came off as condescending without any sign of improvement. It was hard to hear until the end. Moreover, he insisted on a tip of around a certain percentage, saying it was fine if it was less, which felt like pressure. Not being able to hear was stressful, so if you end up with this guide, aim for a seat at the front.

- The ocean view is on the right side of the bus. There are many coastal drives, and the left side is just mountains, which isn't enjoyable at all. If you're participating, please make sure to secure a seat on the right side.

Other itineraries and scenery were mostly the same as everyone else's. Personally, I found Haleiwa to be the most boring. There were too many people, and the long lines meant I couldn't enter any shops during the allotted time. The ocean views were very beautiful. I hope this information is helpful!

10年以上ぶりのハワイでしたが、いくつか思うところありましたのでこれから行く方に共有します。

・その日のガイドさんによりツアーの満足度は大きく変わる。
こればかりは運ですが、
私のところはバス２台で、片方はガイドさん運転手さんの二人体制、こちらは運転手さんがガイドを兼用してました。
スピーカー？が前方席のところにあり、後方に座ってると何を言ってるのか聞こえません。
運転手の方は生粋の日本人でしたが早口で滑舌もそこまでよくないので、聞こえにくいと他の方も言ってましたが「これくらいのスピードでしゃべらないと話すことが沢山あるので。私の出身地ではこれくらいが普通です。どこ出身ですか？‥あぁ、○○地方はゆっくりですからね」と悪びれる様子も改善もなく逆にお客さんをバカにするような発言。最後まで聞きづらかったです。
しかも、最後にチップは○%くらいですね、まぁそれ以下でも構いませんが、とチップ額を強制してくる始末。
聞こえないのはストレスになるので、もしこのガイドさんに当たったときに備えて前方席を狙ってください。

・海側は進行方向右の席
海沿いのドライブが多く、左側は山ばかりで全然楽しくない。
参加される方は何としても右側を死守してください。

他の行程や景色などは大方皆さんと同じです。
個人的にはハレイワが一番つまんなかったです。人が多すぎて大行列で散策時間内ではお店に入れなかったです。
海の景色はとてもきれいでした。
ご参考になれば幸いです！

We had a wonderful time everyone and everything made our time special love it

First of all, the waiter who attended us was very attentive and had just the right amount of brightness without being pushy. The dinner was delicious, and many people of all ages seemed to be quite full. When the fireworks started, everyone moved to the side to watch, and the boat tilted noticeably. But apparently, that's okay. The live performance was wonderful, and the MC singer was good too! For those on the Five Star, you go up to the fourth floor, but there was a smoking area outside on the same floor, which was appreciated by smokers who feel a bit out of place. Also... the inside of the boat is cold!!! Perhaps because Westerners tend to have a higher body temperature than Japanese people... if you're attending in a sleeveless, thin dress, it might get really chilly, so please be careful.

まず、ついてくれたウエイターの方はよく気がつくし、しつこくないくらいの明るさで丁度良かったです。
ディナーも美味しく老若男女割とお腹いっぱいになっていた方が多かったです。
花火が始まると皆さま一斉に花火側へ移動されるので、分かりやすいくらい船が傾いてました。笑
が、大丈夫だそうです。
生演奏も素敵でしたしMCの歌い手の方もgoodでした！
ファイブスターの方は四階へ上がりますが同フロアの外に喫煙所がありました。
肩身の狭い喫煙者には有り難かったです。
後…船内は寒いです！！！
欧米の方々は、日本人より体温が高めだからか…
ノースリ薄手のワンピで参加となると、めちゃくちゃ冷えるかもなのでお気を付けてください。

This is the second time that we Visit the range every time we do a different tour and they always exceeded our expectation. Our tour guy was awesome and every time we learn more history about the island. I definitely recommend

This was an awesome way to see, hear and taste the Hawaiian culture! The activities were informative, enjoyable and engaging!
Great activity for a family, group of friends or even a classroom!

If you want to take a break from the walking, shopping, and hotel hustle and bustle around Waikiki I suggest a sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu.

The five star experience on the top deck Nova Room is a relaxing evening filled with well-made bar drinks, superior cuisine, piano and mood music, and sparkling views of coastal O'ahu.

The Nova Room experience is a step above the normal pricing for the cruise, but is a good value for all you receive.

I especially enjoyed the time to talk and relax with my wife, to enjoy the coastal scenery, and to savor the various courses of the dinner as described in the promotional materials.

The service was excellent throughout the evening and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Nova Room experience on the forth deck of the Star of Honolulu.

I had a great time getting soaked at the front of the boat in the ocean. It was so much fun! Also, the movie location tour was great because I got to see various places.

オーシャンで船の先に捕まり波を受けてずぶ濡れになって楽しみました。最高に楽しかったです。あと映画ロケ地巡りツアーはいろいろ見れてよかったです。

My son and I had a great time. Stephanie did very well! My son (12 yo) asked me how she could remember so much stuff. Really enjoyed the mix of activities as someone who doesn't like driving while traveling and very little of the island is accessible via public transportation.

We participated as a couple over the age of 60. Since we were there, we decided to go to the top floor. We dressed in a way that didn't require us to touch the code. By the window, there were couples from various countries who seemed to be newlyweds, immersed in their own world, while the center seats were mostly families enjoying their meals, the scenery, and jazz. During the Memorial Day event, there was a sense of unity in celebration, but everyone enjoyed themselves at their own pace at their respective tables. Of course, we also had a leisurely and relaxed time.

The entrance to the stern was close, and it was great to see the fireworks as well as the hotel buildings on both sides. After the fireworks, when I held the door to keep it from closing like a doorman, everyone thanked me. Even a Japanese person said thank you, and we all laughed together as we realized we were fellow passengers. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. My wife was also satisfied and very happy. Unfortunately, there was no welcome from the captain. I hope for improvement in that area. This year, I would like to try a different deck.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦２人で参加しました。折角ならと最上階へ。コードに触れない程度の服装で参加しました。窓際は新婚さんと思しき各国のカップルさんが、自分達の世界に浸り、センター席はファミリーが多く思い思いに食事、風景、ジャズを楽しんでいました。メモリアルデーイベントでは、お祝いで一体感となりましたが、各自のテーブルごとそれぞれのペースで楽しんでいました。勿論我々ものんびり、ゆったりの時間でした。

船尾への出入り口が近く、花火は勿論、ホテル群が左右に見渡せ良かったです。
花火の後、ドアマンの如くドアが閉まるのを抑えていたら、皆さんにサンキュウと言われました。日本人の方にも言われ、乗客の一人ですとお互い大笑いでした。
料理は美味しく、量も丁度良かったです。妻も満足し、大変喜んでいました。
残念ながら、船長出迎えは有りませんでした。改善を望みます。
今年は別のデッキにトライしたいと思います。
