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!!!

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.

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.

After moving from Kona Airport to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, we used the transportation from the airport to the hotel. Upon arriving at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, there was a malfunction with the boarding bridge when our plane arrived at the gate, which caused a change in the arrival gate and resulted in a delay of over 30 minutes. Perhaps because of this, there were only the two of us as passengers, so we had to wait for other customers to arrive, and in the end, we waited for about 20 minutes at the bus stop.
コナ空港からダニエル・K・イノウエ国際空港への移動後、空港からホテルまでの移動に利用。
ダニエル・K・イノウエ国際空港に到着後、飛行機が到着ゲートに着いた際、ボーディングブリッジの故障があり、到着ゲートを変更することになったため、予定より30分以上遅れました。
そのためか、利用客が私たち2人だけだったため、他の客が来るのを待つことになり、結局20分くらい、バス乗り場で待たされました。

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。

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!
I highly recommend this, especially for families!
My family had a great time!

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。

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.

I used Hawaiian Airlines to return home, but when the driver asked, "Hawaiian Airlines?" I replied "Yes," and I was dropped off at the terminal for domestic flights to the islands. From there, I had to walk quite a distance to the international terminal. It was disappointing since I had informed them at the time of booking that I would be taking an international flight.

ドライバーさんが「ハワイアン航空?」と聞くので「イエス」と答え空港で降ろされた場所が国内線の離島へいくターミナルでしたのでそこから国際線のターミナルまで結構な距離を歩かされました。予約時には国際線に乗ることは伝えてあるのに残念でした。

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.
