All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Fantastic day, long but we’ll organized and there is so much to see and learn. Our guide Kimoke’o was knowledgeable and gracious! Great stories, kept us all laughing too. Thank you so much for a wonderful day and for sharing the day with us!

We absolutely loved touring Pearl Harbor. It was wonderful and sad at the same time. Recommend anyone that can should take this tour. The museum, the information, the films were so great.. it was just so sobering to see what happened on that day, to be in the presence of the souls that remain. It was just a wonderful experience. The Navy, the Rangers were so professional in their jobs. (As I know they would only be). This was just a wonderful experience from the booking to the bus driver and especially Pearl Harbor.

The staff and crew were amazing as well as the foood. The entertainment

We were picked up by Shorts exactly on time and found our guide to be helpful, kind and informative. He was a great driver and answered any questions we had. He provided clear instructions on what to do when and was very patient with our group that ranged from the elderly in a wheelchair to the young kids. He gave us options on lunch and have us plenty of time to sightsee. Shorts is highly recommended!!!

The hikes were beautiful and it was wonderful to have the transportation and tickets taken care of. The shuttle picked us up and dropped us off right next to our hotel. We got to meet some great people and have some laughs. We highly recommend this company.

The food was good, the entertainment and the sunset view was incredible!

I wanted to do some sightseeing and was looking for various tours. Most required at least two participants, and some tour companies even had options where you had to pay for two people. However, I ultimately found a tour company that met my conditions. The tour content exceeded my expectations, but what really stood out was the fun and engaging talk from our tour guide, Kanako. It was so enjoyable that I would have gladly paid extra for it from the beginning to the end of the tour!

As someone who was participating alone and didn't speak English, Kanako helped me with my order at Matsumoto Shave Ice and invited me to join her table when I was wandering around alone. I had a great time during the free time, and a young woman from the same tour company who was on her day off even took pictures for me and offered support in various ways. Thank you for that, even on your day off. I don't get to come to Hawaii often, but if I have the chance to come again and can request a guide, I would definitely want to book Kanako's tour again. I highly recommend it to everyone!

観光がしたくて色々とツアーを探してました。大半が2名以上からの参加で1名では申し込みができず中には2名分支払えば可能などというツアー会社もある中、最終的に自分の条件に合ったツアー会社さんを見つけることができました。ツアー内容も予想以上に満足いく内容でしたが、なんと言ってもツアーガイドのカナコさんのトークの楽しさにはツアーの始まりから終了まで別料金払ってもいいほどヤバかったです 笑 また1人参加で英語も分からない私にマツモトシェイブアイス店では注文時に手助けもして下さり1人でウロウロしてたところ一緒のテーブルに誘ってくれてフリータイムも楽しく過ごせましたし、オフを使ってツアーに参加をしてた同じツアー会社の若い女性の方にも写真を撮って頂いたり何かとフォローをしてくださいました。オフなのにありがとうございました。ハワイに来ることは中々できませんが次に来ることがあるならば指名が出来るのならば、またカナコさんのツアーを申し込みしたいと思います。皆さん、絶対におススメですよ！！

On the day of the tour, it was raining on the bus, but by the time we boarded the boat and reached the area where the whales were, the rain had stopped and the sun peeked out, which was great. The color of the sea was very beautiful.

We didn't see any large whales, but we did catch glimpses of what seemed to be a baby whale! We saw its tail several times and parts of its body, which was wonderful.

Inside the boat, snacks, light meals, and drinks were available for purchase. Since the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

I believe this is a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from the elderly to small children.

当日、バスの中では雨でしたが、、船に乗り鯨のいる場所につく頃には雨も止んで太陽ものぞいてくれたので良かったです。
海の色がとっても綺麗でしたよ
大きい鯨には、会えませんでしたが、、赤ちゃん鯨でしょうか？！何回も尻尾が見えたり、体の一部が見えたり良かったです。
船内では、スナックや軽食・飲み物が有料販売有りでした。
船内が冷房が強いので、、羽織るもの1枚持っていくといいと思います。
ご年配の方から小さいお子様まで、一緒に楽しむことのできるツアーだと思います

Totally enjoyed our tour with Squid. He was so informative, giving us great information about each place we visited (as well as places we passed along the way). Loved the high energy music he played on the bus, which energized the group. Loved the shrimp lunch, which was included. Kudos to Squid. I highly recommend this tour to others. You will not be disappointed.

I was picked up at the Hyatt at 7:25 AM, and we arrived at 9:00 AM. My 3-year-old child got tired just from being on the bus for an hour and a half. It was disappointing that we could only see the tail this time, as it didn't leave a lasting impression on my child.

7時25分にHyattでpick upしてもらい、着いたのは9時でした。
3歳の子どもは、1時間半バスに乗っていただけでも疲れてしまいました。
今回はテールしか見られず、子供にとって印象が残らなかったのが残念でした。

Better than expected, would definitely attend again. Good family entertainment.

I went to the location by rental car since it was mentioned that there was a validation service. When I showed the parking ticket to the staff and asked about it, I was told that the service is not available this year. It seems there was an error in the information provided, which is disappointing.
During the cruise, I was able to enjoy taking photos of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.
As the ship was returning to the port, there was an announcement at 9 o'clock that something would be visible, and the ship moved a bit, but then there was another announcement at 10 o'clock, unfortunately, I couldn't see it. It seemed that many others also missed it. Even if some people were able to see it, it appears that rescheduling is not guaranteed for those who couldn't, which is unfortunate.
It is very cold on the ship, so a jacket is a must.

バリデーションのサービスがあると記載されていたので、レンタカーにて現地へ向かいました。スタッフにパーキングチケットを見せて聞いたところ、今年はそのサービスはやっていないとの返答。記載内容に誤りがあるようで残念です。
乗船中は海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に撮ったりと楽しむことができました。
船が港へ戻る際9時に見えると放送があり少し船が動いたのでその後10時の方向と放送がありましたが、残念ながら見る事が出来ませんでした。他にも見れなかった方は沢山いたようでした。自身が見れなくても見ることのできた人がいればリスケジュールの保証外となるようで、残念でした。
船上はとても寒いので、上着必須です。

We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. The cruise was wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment.

Check in was simple and organized.

I was able to get my parking validated by purchasing coffee at a shop before checking in.

We saw a whale in the distance while on this cruise.

The ship was so large that I imagined I would see whales from a distance, but in reality, I was able to see them up close multiple times, which was amazing.

船が大きいので、クジラは遠くに見るようなイメージだったが、実際には近くで、何度も見ることができ最高だった。

Our tour guide is Deno. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He takes well care of us. We are happy to book any other tour with him.

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.

After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.

Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.

何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか？と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。

The family thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We learned so much and appreciate the service of the military. Thanks for this tour. We could easily have stayed for longer.

This tour was excellent and would recommend to those who visit Oahu island! Our tour guide BK was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor and his home. The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was a very moving experience.

First off the tour guide and motor coach driver were so awesome. Two women who did an amazing job giving us the perfect experience. It was so nice having the tour to get you there, navigate all the areas, get tickets for admission prior, and admission/time to see the Arizona Memorial. Great lunch as well in the Aviation Museum. The only drawback was we had to go to the airport to pick up some from another island flying in for the tour. It did take away time I think we may have had on Pearl. More time there would have been nice. Definitely would recommend this way to see Pearl Harbor.

Personally, I thought this tour was great! I was able to watch a video explaining the tour in Japanese, and I felt reassured as I learned how to use the bicycle while going around the tour. It was good. When it started to rain, there was no mudguard on the bicycle, so my clothes and shoes got very muddy. I recommend going in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and bringing a change of clothes.

個人的にこのツアーはとても良かったです！
日本語のツアー説明の動画も見ることができ、自転車の使い方も分かりながら安心してツアーに回ることができ、よかったです。
途中で雨が降ってきて、自転車に泥除けがないため服や靴に非常に泥がかかるので、本当に汚れてもいい格好で行き、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。

Royal Package is definitely worth it for the seating alone. The show feels lso great to be closer, as I had went 3 years ago with regular seating and the experience is much more worth it.

Definitely worth the upgraded event, the dinner was nothing short of delicious, the staff was impecable as well! MAHALO!!

Awesome dinner cruise! We had fun and the foods were delicious!! Don’t forget to tip!! They took a picture of us it’s $27 and some of the packages has it. They also have lei flower for $15.

The Luau itself was fantastic. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The presenters were fantastic educational and entertaining. The bar lines were a bit longer, but besides that greast evening

The Chief is extremely funny and very talented. As well to all of the performers and staff were kind and incredibly talented. It is much more organized than the other luaus we attended. The fire knife show was the best I've ever seen.

It might be good as a cruising experience, but I was disappointed because I had high expectations for whale watching during this season.

クルージングとしてはいいのだろうけど、この時期のホエールウォッチングとしては期待してただけにガッカリでした。

We really enjoyed our time on the tour it was very well presented.

Val, our driver was great and very thoughtful to her passengers. The scenery was breathtaking and the incoming surf was truly a sight to behold. I wish we could have had a little more time to stop and see the Hawaiian villages and some of the ranch sites, but understand it is a working preserve. Highly recommend.

It included a pick-up service. They arrive on time. There were only a few Japanese people on the large bus. A Japanese-language video guide was played. After boarding, you can take a seat on the first deck and listen to various explanations (in English), after which you can move freely around the ship. When a whale is spotted, the direction it is seen from the bow is announced based on the clock position, with participants all saying "Keep eyes open" while searching. When someone shouts "8 o'clock!!", everyone looks in that direction. Although we didn't see the whales jumping as in the photos on the website, we could see them spouting water, and there were many moments when we could see their backs quite clearly. I was surprised to see that the whales come so close to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. The time spent searching for whales was overwhelmingly longer, but it was wonderful to relax while enjoying the pleasant Hawaiian breeze. It's basically a cruise. It might be a bit dangerous for small children running around, and they would probably find it boring anyway. Since this is only available from January to March, I would recommend it to those who can go during this time.

送迎付きでした。時間通りに来てくれます。大型バス乗り合いで日本人は数名程度。日本語の案内ビデオが流れます。乗船後1階デッキに着席し色々説明（英語）を聞いた後は船内を自由に移動できます。クジラが見えたら船首を12時として時計の位置で見えた方向がアナウンスされます。参加者全員が"Keep eyes open"で探しますので、参加者が"8 o'clock!!"と叫ぶと皆8時方角を見る感じです。Webの写真のように飛び上がる姿は見られませんでしたが、潮を吹くと位置が分かり、背が結構見える場面も多かったです。ホノルルのダウンタウン、ワイキキもすぐそこに見える位置までクジラが来ているんだな、と驚きました。クジラを探す時間の方が圧倒的に長いですが、ハワイの心地よい風を浴びながらまったりと過ごす時間は最高でした。基本クルーズですね。小さなお子様は走り回ったりちょっと危険かもしれません、そもそも子供にはつまらないですよね。1月から3月までの限定ですので、この時期に行かれる方にはお勧めしたいです。

Uncle Billy and Brother Ross were knowledgeable about Island history, geography, and culture. We learned, explored, and laughed a ton. We especially liked the added stops along the way. The day went quick, we were on and off the bus frequently.
