All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information. Read in other review that it was rushed but that’s not how it was at all at least not with our driver uncle Kevin.

Our Pearl Harbor tour was wonderful! Do it early as it was starting to get hot, and our tour guide Maureen was amazing. She’s a wealth of knowledge!

Extremely interesting and comfortable, Lunch at McGarretts was fantastic! The cast member we met, Shawn Mokuahi Garnett, was very generous with his time and patience, posing for photos many times with group members and answering questions. The van picked us up on time right in front of our hotel, we saw and heard a lot of history not just from the show but from the area in general. Thank you to everyone for making our day so special.

What a great & wonderful experience. This was our first time to do this type of event and we were blown away. Staff and crew were so professional and courteous! My expectations were definitely exceeded! I will return to the Star of Honolulu and next time we are bringing my daughter and her boyfriend. Food was prepared and cooked to perfection! Entertainment was excellent, I can’t wait to experience this again! Thanks to all involved to make this a success!!

Somewhat expensive for what it offers. As others mentioned it is funny at times, but nothing spectacular.

The Island and You tour was AMAZING. Uncle Billy was our tour guide and he was the BEST. He had fantastic energy, awesome personality, and he made the day so fun!!! The tour gave us greater insight into the culture and people of Hawaii, creating a deeper appreciation for the beauty around us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

It was very first time to join cruise for us. Unfortunately we could not find whales but we could meet a lot of dolphins swimming. Luckily it was really nice fine day, we had a great experience on the big ship. Hopefully we meet whales at next time. Thank you so much.

It was a large ship, so the scenery on the way out to sea to see the whales was also wonderful. Although from a distance, I was able to see several whales, which was great.

大きな船だったので鯨を見に沖に行くまでの景色も素晴らしかったです。
遠くからですが何頭かのクジラを見ることが出来良かったです。

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you

This was a very good tour. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable of the area. The times at the various stops were more than adequate. I would highly recommend it if you are interested in Pearl Harbor history.

Great food! Wonderful entertainment! Terrific staff! Well worth it. We had a fabulous time!

I participated with my 65-year-old mother!
We were in a team of eight, which included two groups of six people from Korea and the two of us.

At first, we watched a video in English on how to drive, but they also showed us a separate video with Japanese subtitles.

The guide spoke entirely in English, so we couldn't understand everything, but they explained the necessary safety information with gestures, and we had plenty of practice time, which made us feel secure before setting off.

I initially thought it might be a bit difficult for my mother due to her age, but there were some older participants in the other groups (not Japanese), and above all, we were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan, which made my mother the happiest.

The guide took a lot of photos for us, and the Korean group we participated with were very kind, creating truly wonderful memories.

65歳の母と参加しました！
一緒のチームになったのは韓国人グループ2組6人と、私たち母娘2人の計8人でした。


最初、運転方法を英語のビデオで見るのですが、私たちは別で日本語字幕付きのビデオを見せてくれました。


ガイドの方は全て英語で話すので、全てを理解することはできませんでしたが、安全に必要なことは身振り手振りで説明してくれましたし、練習時間もたっぷりとってくれたので安心して出発することができました。


最初は母の年齢には少し難しいかな？と思いましたが、他のグループにはもう少し年配の方（日本人ではなく）も参加していましたし、何より日本ではなかなか経験できないことができて、母が1番楽しんでいました＾＾


ガイドさんにたくさん写真も撮っていただき、一緒に参加した韓国人グループの方々にも優しくしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。

Great experience, thank you for putting this tour together!

The staff was very courteous from the bus transportation to the wait staff! Entertainment was enjoyable and the dancers were great and gave an energetic performance. The food was delicious.

Smaller tour car so we were a bit skeptical at first however the guides really know the island like the back of their hand!

what an awesome way to ring in the new year. I am so happy we decided to do this as everyone was so friendly and being on a boat in Hawaii, whats better!

It was my first Segway experience since 2019, and I had a great time with my son, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and my family of three. It felt very refreshing to be back in Hawaii, Waikiki, and Kaka'ako after a long time. I am planning to visit Hawaii again this year.

2019年以来のセグウェイ体験でした、ハワイが初めての息子と家族3人で大変楽しかったです。
久しぶりのハワイ・ワイキキ・カカアコはとても新鮮な感じがしましたよ～
今年もハワイを計画致します。

The coupon pickup location is at the ticket booth for the trolley station on the north side of T Galleria Hawaii by DFS, but in reality, there was a cart on the sidewalk on the Royal Hawaiian Avenue side of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza.

クーポンの受取場所がTギャラリアハワイ by DFS北側トロリー乗り場チケットブースとなっていますが、実際にはワイキキ ショッピング プラザのロイヤルハワイアンアベニュー側の歩道にカートがありました。

Thanks to our tour guide AYC Kanako, it was a very enjoyable tour. I participated because there were many places I was visiting for the first time, and it was really great. I also enjoyed the conversations with our fellow tour guide Billy. Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join other tours as well.

ツアーガイドAYC Kanakoさんのおかげで非常に楽しいツアーとなりました。初めて廻る場所が多かったので参加しましたがとても良かったです。同じツアーガイドのビリーさんとの会話も楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。また機会ありましたら他のツアーにも参加したいと思います。

I was a bit worried about the weather, but since it was covered, a little rain wasn't a problem. I went on an off-road tour with a family member who has difficulty walking, but the guide was very accommodating, which was great.

お天気が少し心配でしたが、屋根付きなので多少の雨であれば問題ありませんでした。足が悪い家族と一緒のオフロードツアーでしたが、ガイドさんにもよくしていただき良かったです。

I had always thought about visiting Kualoa Ranch someday. Since my husband loves Jurassic Park, we chose this tour. It felt like we were going through three short tours in one day. Each segment lasts 90 minutes, almost like a college class! The explanations are in English, but the American jokes are simple enough that you won't be completely lost. We learned about Hawaiian plants, and surprisingly, there were some aspects that felt like a school trip. We even got to crack macadamia nuts ourselves and enjoy fresh ones, making it a tour filled with attractions beyond just visiting movie filming locations. I was very satisfied. However, the time commitment is long, so it might feel like a waste if you're on a short stay. The round-trip bus is extremely cold, so I recommend bringing a thicker jacket or hoodie.

いつかは行ってみようと思っていたクアロアランチ。夫がジュラシックパークが好きなのでこちらのツアーにしました。３つのショートツアーを一日かけて周る感じです。90分1コマなのでまるで大学の授業のよう笑　英語の説明ですが、アメリカンジョークも簡単なものだったりするのでそんなに何を話してるかわからない状態にはなりませんが、ハワイの植物を学んだりと意外と修学旅行チックなツアーもありました。マカダミアナッツを自分で割ってフレッシュなものを食べれたりと、映画のロケ地訪問だけではない魅力が詰まったツアーで大満足でした。ただ、拘束時間が長いので短期滞在だと勿体無いかも。往復のバスは極寒なので厚めの羽織ものやパーカーをお持ちになることをおすすめします。

It was excellent service, hula show and music. Food was ok.

At the dockside check-in they were very helpful. I just showed my confirmation email and she gave us out boarding passes. The dockside hula show was good. They had 2 musicians playing and 3 dancers, it wasn't Cirque Du Soleil but if thats what your expecting go to Las Vegas!!

I loved the meal. The purple bread (made with Ube) was good, it tasted like the Kings Hawaiian Rolls! The steaks are cooked medium rare, which I enjoy but was too under cooked for my wife. Even since she didnt eat her steak she still was full with the Crab and Chicken. The ice cream was delicious. The Mai Tai's were on point.

Our server was perfect. Very attentive to our needs, conversational without being annoying. Extremely gracious and appreciative.

One of the best short trip at Ohau. Great Experience.. Very well planned trip. Smooth travel and very convenient..

Thank you, Kanako and Kela.
I was truly never bored from start to finish. Your talks were packed with information, and I had a wonderful time throughout.
In the morning, I had malasadas, and for lunch, I enjoyed the garlic shrimp from FUMIS that I had wanted to try for a long time, traditional poi, and local fruits. At the famous spots, I saw Chinaman's Hat and Halona Blowhole, among others...
While swaying on the bus and gazing at the scenery outside, we suddenly stopped. On the sandy beach, there was something that looked like a thick piece of driftwood... Upon closer inspection, I couldn't believe my eyes—there was a Hawaiian monk seal lying there! I often see honu, but to encounter a Hawaiian monk seal was such a stroke of luck. I really felt grateful for participating in this tour.
Finally, we visited Pohaku Lanai. This place is absolutely essential for me for various reasons. I'm truly thankful for the stop here.
This tour was filled with so much content, and your talks were equally rich. I plan to definitely join this tour again next time.
Kanako and Kela, I look forward to seeing you again then.

Kanako and Kelaさん、
ありがとうございました。
最初から最後まで本当に退屈しませんでした。お二人のトークには盛りだくさんの情報がつまっており、終始楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
朝は、マラサダ、昼食は、以前から食べたかったFUMISのガーリックシュリンプ、伝統食のポイや地元の果物屋さん、名所ではチャイナマンズハット、ハロナ潮吹き岩などなど・・・。
暫しバスに揺られながら外の景色を眺めていると突然停車。砂浜には太い流木のような物が・・・。よく見てみると、なっ、なっ、なんとハワイアンモンクシールが横たわっているではありませんか。ホヌはよく見かけるのですが、ハワイアンモンクシールに出会えるとは、なんと幸運なことでしょう。このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。
最後は、ポハクラナイ（Pohaku Lanai）です。ここは私にとっていろいろな意味で絶対外せない場所です。立ち寄っていただき本当に感謝しています。
このようにこのツアーは内容が盛りだくさん、お二人のトークも盛りだくさんでした。次回もこのツアーに絶対参加しようと予定に入れています。
Kanako and Kelaさん、その時にまたお会いしましょう。

Last time (December 2019), there were 10 routes, making it difficult to choose, but due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, there were only 4 routes available this time. However, it was exactly the route I wanted to see, so it was very helpful. I think the driver did a great job providing a lot of information in English. (I didn't understand the meaning very well, though...)

前回（2019年12月）は10路線もあり選ぶのが大変でしたが、まだコロナの影響で4路線しか有りませんでした。ですが、丁度見に行きたい所の路線でしたのでとっても助かりました。運転手さんが英語で沢山案内してくれてとても良かったと思っています。（英語の意味は良く分からなかったですが・・・）

Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was great, the views were breathtaking and the entertainment was fun! The pictures were a delight and our neighbors at the next table were nice. Overall, a great experience.

Excellent performances and Hospitality by the Chief and Family! Loved the excitement and enthusiasm! Buffet was delicious. Souvenirs and photo options were so affordable. Will be bringing my Family back again soon! ALOHA CHIEF AND CREW!!

This was absolutely amazing! So very glad we spent our anniversary on this cruise. The food was outstanding and the staff was wonderful!

Both of these hikes were gorgeous, and very different terrains. However I am sure tired after two hikes in 1 day!
