All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

This was my first time participating after seeing it featured on TV. The pickup was smooth and on time. The bus's air conditioning was too strong, and even though I complained to the guide, it didn't help; everyone seemed to endure it. It had been raining all morning, which made me anxious during the journey, but once we arrived, the sun came out, and I felt relieved. The orientation was also easy to understand in Japanese.

All the participants on the E-bike were Japanese. The road was a bit muddy due to the rain, but we enjoyed cycling while taking in the scenery without speeding. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but he was humorous and guided us carefully, taking photos for us, making it a fun hour.

Since we only participated in one activity, we had a three-hour wait until the return bus. I was wondering what to do when a staff member informed me that there was a public bus (THE BUS) stop nearby and suggested I take that, providing me with the timetable. I used that to get back.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

ＴＶで紹介されていて初参加。
ピックアップは時間通りスムーズでした。
バスのクーラーが効きすぎていてガイドに訴えるも効果なく
みんな耐えていた様子。
朝からずっと雨で道中不安でしたが到着したら晴れ間が出て一安心。
オリエンテーションも日本語で分かりやすかったです。

Eバイク参加者は皆日本人、雨のせいで少し道がぬかるんでいたけどスピードを上げることなく景色を堪能しながらのサイクリング。
ガイドは日本語話せませんでしたがユーモア交え丁寧に案内してくれ写真撮ってくれたりで楽しい1時間でした。

1種目のみの参加だった私達は帰りのバスまで3時間の待ち時間がありどうしたものかと思っているとスタッフの方が公共バス(THE BUS)の停留所が近くにあるからそれで帰るといいよと、時刻表とともに案内してくれそれを利用して帰りました。

概ね満足なツアーでした。

I didn't have enough time in Haleiwa, so I couldn't try Giovanni's Garlic Shrimp, and while shopping, I ended up missing lunch. Therefore, it's better to think of Haleiwa as just a place to have lunch.

I caught a glimpse of a turtle at Turtle Bay. I had hoped to go horseback riding in Waimea Valley, but since that tour was not available, I opted for a seaside tour instead. Even though it was only 45 minutes, I had a great time and was satisfied to get photos of me riding a horse in a beautiful spot. You can enjoy a free-style horseback ride that you can't do in Japan. The horse was munching on grass a lot, which was funny.

We were split into two groups for the horseback riding, so there was about an hour of waiting time, and I thought about how nice it would have been to explore Haleiwa during that time. However, I was able to go back to Haleiwa later on my own, which was great. But if you want to explore and shop in Haleiwa, I don't think you'll have enough time with the horseback riding tour. The horseback riding tour itself was very satisfying!

ハレイワでは時間がなくて、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプは食べれず、お買い物してたら昼食も食べれなくなっちゃいました>_<
なので、ハレイワではランチするだけの時間と考えた方が良いです。
タートルベイではチラッと亀が見えました。
ワイメア渓谷での乗馬希望でしたが催行されず海辺のツアーにしましたが、45分でも十分楽しめ、景色の良いところで馬に乗った写真も撮ってもらえて満足です。日本ではできない自由な乗馬が出来ます。舐められて草めちゃくちゃ食べてましたが笑。
2グループに分かれて乗馬したので、1時間ほど待ち時間があり、この時間ハレイワの街にいれたら…とは思いましたが。
後日個人でハレイワに再度行けたので良かったですが、ハレイワを散策したり買い物したい方は、乗馬ツアーでは時間は無いと思います。
乗馬ツアー自体は大満足です！

Every detal covered.
Very friendly smooth sailing. Performers are multi talented and put heart into the shows.

Fun for all ages.

I knew that the tour would be conducted in English. However, since the order of the meals was predetermined and it was different from what I expected, I felt a bit flustered. Thanks to the staff's coordination, I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much. I believe this is a tour that many Japanese people would like to participate in, so I think it would be sufficient to write on a paper in Japanese: "1. Those with a red wristband should be the first to get up and go for the salad, meat, etc." "Yellow is second." I believe that by simply showing the translated version, it will help overcome the language barrier and allow everyone, not just Japanese people, to participate.

ツアーは英語で行なわれることは知っていました。ただ食事の順番が決められていたので、その順番が違っていたので、あたふたしましたが、スタッフの連携のおかげで、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。日本人も多く参加したいツアーだと思いますので、紙に日本語で書いて「１．リストバンドの赤の色の人は、１番最初に席を立ち、サラダ、お肉等を取りに行ってください。」「黄色は２番目です」翻訳した分を見せるだけでいいと思います。言語の壁を乗り越えたツアーに日本人だけではないのですが皆が参加できるようになると思います。

It was an e-bike tour and it was very good. The staff member who accompanied us took some interesting photos. The ground was quite muddy from the rain the day before, and since there were no mudguards on the mountain bikes, my clothes got pretty dirty. I think it's better not to schedule anything right after. The experience of riding a mountain bike in nature is something you don't get to do often, so it became a great memory.

ebikeのツアーでしたがとても良かったです。
一緒に回るスタッフの方がおもしろい写真を撮ってくれます。
前日の雨で字面がぐちゃぐちゃだったのとマウンテンバイクに泥除けがないので服がかなり汚れました。
その後すぐ予定は入れない方がいいかと思います。
マウンテンバイクで自然の中を走る体験はなかなか出来ないのでいい思い出になりました。

The ship was heaving too much. My family got seasick. But I could watch whales.

It was my first time horseback riding along the coast, and the whole family enjoyed it. The view from the horse was amazing. For lunch and the ice cream at Dole Plantation, one serving was quite a lot for each person.

海沿いを乗馬するのは初めてで、家族全員楽しめました。馬上からの景色が素晴らしかったです。ランチとドールプランテーションのアイスなどは一人一つ頼むと量が多かったです。

Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. However, the breakfast buffet on the ship was very delicious, and we were able to relax while enjoying the vast ocean view. I look forward to the next opportunity.

残念ながら鯨を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし船の上での朝ご飯バイキングはとても美味しく、広大な海を眺めてのんびりとした時間を過ごすことができました。
また次の機会に期待します。

I looked at a magazine and thought, "I just want to go here," so I joined a basic course that included three activities. Among them, the jungle experience was an exciting and dynamic ride that had me laughing the whole time. Next time, I want to try horse riding.

雑誌を見て、「とにかくここに行ければ良い」という思いで、3つのアクティビティーに参加できる基本的なコースに参加しました。中でもジャングル体験は迫力満点のダイナミックなライドで、始終大爆笑でした。次回はホースライディングに挑戦したいです。

The car was full! The tour with 13 people has started! My husband and I are participating too (^O^) We are with five other groups of strangers, and the guide shared historical stories and fun facts about Hawaii that we wouldn't usually hear. The car took us to the Dole Plantation! Next, we stopped for a green sea turtle search! We could see them a little from a distance, but it was disappointing! We went to Haleiwa for an early lunch... Everyone requested garlic shrimp since we were here! To avoid wasting time, the guide placed a phone order for us, and we received our food right away when we arrived! The portion was just right for two, served on a stylish plate lunch✨ It was so delicious!

And finally! The main event of the day✨ We headed to Turtle Bay for horseback riding! The wind, air, and blue sea that you can't experience in Waikiki... The cute horses were waiting for us with saddles on! Each of the 13 of us carefully considered our compatibility with the horses and mounted them one by one... and off we went! Right along the coastline! How wonderful! I can't believe we got to walk such a long distance by the beach! It was definitely✨ worth coming to Turtle Bay. This! This! This is the beach horseback riding I wanted to do! You can't find this kind of horseback riding on other tours! It was the best‼ On the way back, we also stopped by a nut farm, and we had the best day ever! Thank you so much! I would love to participate again!

車満員❗13人のツアーがスタート！
私達夫婦2人も参加です(^O^)
知らない人達5組で、ガイドさんの歴史的なお話やハワイ事情…等あまり聞くことの出来ない楽しいお話しも交えて車はドールプランテーションに‼そして次に立ち寄ったのは、青海亀散策！離れた所で、少し見えたものの残念！ハレイワに行き早目のランチ……みんな、ここに来たならガーリックシュリンプが食べたい‼のリクエストに、時間のロスが無いようにと電話注文をしてくださり、行ったら直ぐに頂けました‼二人で食べて丁度良いくらいのボリュームにお洒落なプレートランチ✨とっても美味しかった❗
そしてついに！今日のメインイベント✨乗馬をするためにタートルベイに‼
ワイキキでは味わえない風と空気と海の青さ……
可愛い馬達が蔵を着けて待ってくれています‼
13人1人、1人が馬との相性を考えながら、順番にまたがり……いざ出発です❗
いきなり海岸沿い！なんて素敵
こんなに長い距離海辺を歩いてくれるなんて❗
ヤッパリ✨タートルベイまで来て本当に良かった
これ！これ！これがやりたかった海辺の乗馬！他のツアーでは、無い乗馬！
最高でした‼
帰りはナッツファームにも寄って下さり、最高の1日を過ごせました‼本当にありがとうございました‼又、参加したいと思います‼

This was my fourth time in Hawaii. I've been to major beaches like Waikiki Beach, Kailua, North Shore, and Hanauma Bay, and since December is the rainy season there, I chose to visit Kualoa, which I had never been to before. People often associate Hawaii with beach activities, but after visiting Kualoa this time, I thought, "Why haven't I come here before?!" I was truly moved by the incredible natural beauty of Hawaii! The location tour, in particular, left a strong impression with its dynamic scenery right in front of me. It was also adorable to encounter the cats frequently within Kualoa Ranch!

ハワイは4度目でした。ワイキキビーチ、カイルア、ノースショアにハナウマベイなど主要ビーチは行ったことがある上に12月であちらは雨季という事もあり、今まで行ったことがないクアロアを選びました。ハワイ＝ビーチアクティビティというイメージを持ちがちですが、今回クアロアを訪れて「どうして今まで来なかったんだろう！」と思うくらい、ハワイの大自然に触れてとても感激しました！特にロケ地ツアーは目の前に広がるダイナミックな景色がとても印象に残りました。クアロアランチ内でたびたび猫ちゃん達に出会ったのも可愛かったです♫

Tour guide was very easy going, friendly and funny. Made the tour enjoyable. Takes you to beautiful spots around the island. You get plenty of time for photos

I participated with my husband, but the explanations at key points were tough for me since I don't understand English. (My husband understands English, so he was fine.) Also, the mountain bikes don't have mudguards, so my back and butt got splattered with mud and turned completely brown. It won't come out even after washing. Therefore, it's definitely better not to participate in a white T-shirt or anything like that.

主人と参加しましたが、要所要所での説明は、
英語がわからない私にはキツかったです。
（主人は英語はわかるので○）
それと、マウンテンバイクには泥よけがついていないので、背中とお尻部分は、泥はねで、真っ茶色になりました。洗濯しても落ちません。なので、白いTシャツとかで絶対参加しない方が良いです。

We went as a group of ten, and we were all guided together, with many staff members who spoke Japanese, which made for a fulfilling experience. It rained partway through, but they still made sure we could enjoy ourselves, and it was a lot of fun! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. ^ ^

10人という団体で行きましたが、みんなまとめて案内してくださったり、日本語のできるスタッフがたくさんいたり、と充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
途中で雨が降りましたが、それでも私たちが楽しめるように盛り上げてくださり、とても楽しかったです！
また機会があれば参加したいです^ ^

We were seated at a central window table. There was a leak from the ceiling (it was a sunny day).

Right after we started our meal, water droplets began falling onto our food and clothes. Our clothes were ruined, and of course, we couldn't eat. Three groups, including us, totaling eight people, faced this unfortunate situation.

Everyone was quite mature about it; no one got angry or excited. Instead, there were wry smiles of disbelief. But the mood definitely plummeted! It took a long time for them to respond, and as the countdown approached, we were finally moved to a new table and given food near the dimly lit back of the ship, close to the door leading outside the cabin.

We were looked at with puzzled expressions by other guests. We couldn't see the show in front of us, and our appetite had already vanished.

Despite splurging on a good seat, it turned into the worst countdown that I will remember for a lifetime. Of course, the captain did offer an apology...

中央の窓際席でした。天井より水漏れあり。（当日は晴天でした。）
食事開始早々に水滴が料理や洋服に落ちてきました。
洋服は台無しだし、食事はもちろん食べられません。
我々を含め３組８名の方が災難にあいました。
流石に皆さん大人です。切れて興奮する方はいませんでした。逆に呆れて苦笑い。でも気分は大盛り下がり！
対応に時間がかかりカウントダウンが近くなってようやく新しい席と料理が薄暗い船後部の通路・キャビン外に出るドア付近に設定されました。
他のお客さんに怪訝そうな目で見られました。
前方でのショウも見れませんし、すでに食欲はなくなっていました。

奮発していい席を取ったのに、一生記憶に残る最悪のカウントダウンになりました。
もちろん、キャプテンのお詫びの言葉はありましたが・・・

This year, I went to Hawaii for the first time for a countdown party on the ocean!

The ship was so big, I wondered how many people could fit on it!

As soon as we boarded, we were served champagne, and the full-course meal along with the bottle of wine was absolutely delicious.

Finally! We went out on the deck for the countdown: 3, 2, 1.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The fireworks were amazing, and I was so moved that I cried.

It became a wonderful memory.

I want to spend the end of the year on a dinner cruise in Hawaii again!

今年はハワイ(^^♪
初めて、海の上でのカウントダウンパーティー(#^.^#)

すごい大きな船で、何名乗るの～？！
ってくらい大きな船でした。

乗船してすぐ、シャンパンをいただき、
お料理のフルコース、ボトルワインまで、最高に美味しかったです(^^♪

いよいよ！　デッキに出てカウントダウン　　３．２．１．
ＨＡＰＰＹＮＥＷＥＡＲ
花火が最高　　感激で涙が出ました(#^^#)

素敵な思い出になりました♡

また、年末はハワイのディナークルーズで過ごしたいです(^^♪

They are probably watching over us, but as expected, it's not as thorough as in Japan, and there isn't a lot of support, so I was quite anxious about the shorter kids not falling off the horse, but we managed for 45 minutes! The horses are well-trained, I suppose. The scenery was also very beautiful. I'm grateful.

見ていてはくれてるのでしょうが、やはり当たり前ですが日本ほど手厚いことはなく、めっちゃサポートがあるわけでもないので低い身長のキッズが落馬しないかとハラハラでしたが、45分頑張りました！馬がよく調教されてるのでしょうね。景色もとても綺麗でした。感謝です。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather for the cruising was perfect, so I felt good.

クジラが見えなかったことが残念でした。しかしクルージングには最高の天気だったので、気分は良かったです。

We had the perfect day to Watch Whales and go to see several in the bay. Great Cruise and Crew and the Buffet Lunch was pretty tasty.

On January 2nd, I participated in the first day of the whale watching season. The weather was perfect, and I was excited to join, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. It seems that sometimes days like this happen, but if you don't see any whales, you can show a re-participation ticket (issued at the ticket center after disembarking) to get on another boat for free during that season. However, you must make your own way to the boarding area.

Due to our schedule, we couldn't try again during our stay this time, but if you're really eager to see whales, it might be a good idea to plan for a backup day in case you don't see any.

However, we did get to see a pod of dolphins, and the staff were all very kind.

1月2日、クジラウォッチングシーズンの初日に参加。
最高のお天気でワクワクしながら参加しましたが、残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。
たまにはこんな日もあるようですが、見れなかった場合、再参加のチケット(船を降りてからチケットセンターで発行)を見せればその年のシーズン中は再度船に無料で乗せてくれるみたいです。
但し、船乗り場までは自分で来ることが条件です。
私達は今回はスケジュールの都合上、滞在中に再度トライはできませんでしたが、どうしてもクジラを見たい方は、もしも見れなかった時の為に予備日も考えていたらいいかもしれません。

でも、イルカの群れを少し見ることができましたし、スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切でした。

I participated on the first day of the season. I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. It was disappointing since the kids were also looking forward to it, but I understand that it's all about luck. If I have the chance to come back in winter, I would like to try again.

シーズン初めての日に参加しました。
楽しみにしていましたがクジラを見ることができませんでした。こればっかりは運もあるので仕方がなかったのですが、子供達も楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
冬に来る機会があればリベンジしたいと思います。

It was the countdown I was expecting.
I had a great time.
The food was decent.
One bottle of wine for two people was too much. While we did get a window seat as promised, it was disappointing that we couldn't see the stage.

期待していたとおりのカウントダウンでした。
楽しかったです。
料理もまずまず。
ワイン2人に一本は多すぎでした。窓際確約もそのとおりでしたが、ステージが見えなかったのは残念でした。

It was worth the money.
Loved the food and the performance
Just awesome

I took the New Year's Eve cruise on December 31st. The ship rocked quite a bit.

I didn't expect it to sway that much. I took some motion sickness medication, which helped a little.

12/31の年越しクルーズを利用しました。
かなり船が揺れた。

あそこまで揺れるとは想定してなかったです。
酔い止め薬を飲んで少し楽になりましたが。

In the morning, we used eBikes. There are options for shorter people, but it's better to be at least 140 cm tall. Also, it's not suitable for those who don't usually ride bikes or for the elderly. The speed can be quite fast, and the hills are steep. The grandmother who accompanied us was very slow and couldn't pedal up the hills, so she retired midway. The guide speaks English, but it's not a problem if you don't understand it at all.

In the afternoon, due to bad weather, we had to slightly change the kayaking course and gave up on landing on the uninhabited island. The tide and waves were quite strong. It requires considerable upper body strength, so elderly participants should think carefully.

As mentioned in reviews, the lunch was terrible.

午前中はeBIKEです。背が小さい人用もありますが、身長は140cm以上あった方がいいです。また、普段自転車に乗らない方や高齢者は不向きです。結構なスピードがでますし、坂も急です。同行したおばあちゃんは非常にペースが遅く、上り坂もこげなくて途中でリタイアしていました。英語のガイドですが理解できなくても全く問題ありません。
午後のカヤックは天候不良により少しコース変更し無人島への上陸は断念しました。潮の流れ、波とみにきつかったです。結構上半身の力が必要なので高齢者の方は熟考してください。
口コミでも散見されますが、ランチは最悪です。

It was an immersive tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the great nature of Kualoa. There was no wasted time, and we were able to see all the highlights. However, it was stated that long pants were absolutely necessary, but they weren't needed at all (they might be required for horseback riding). Additionally, a buffet-style lunch was included, but honestly, it wasn't very tasty. I think it's better to bring some light snacks to eat. There are plenty of spots for taking photos, but for the jungle tour, the left side of the front seats is the best for taking pictures!

クアロアの大自然を満喫できる濃密なツアーでした。時間に無駄がなく、見どころを見れます。ただ、長ズボンが必ず必要と書いてありましたが、まったく必要ありませんでした。（乗馬には必要かも）また、ビュッフェスタイルの昼食がついていましたが、正直美味しくありません。スナックなど軽く食べれるものを持っていった方が良いかと思います。写真を撮るところもいっぱいありますが、ジャングルツアーの座席は前の方の左側が写真撮りやすいです！

There are many similar tours, and I was a bit confused during the pickup. Since there are few staff members who can speak Japanese, it might be tough if you can't speak at all.

The show itself was enjoyable, but there were some experiences that were not available on the day.

似たようなツアーが多く、ピックアップ時に少し迷った。
日本語を対応できるスタッフが少ない、もしくはいないため多少なりと喋れないと辛いかもしれない。

ショー自体は楽しかったが、体験できるものが当日ないものもあった。

The guide was friendly, funny, and it was really great. The sea was rough, so we couldn't see any sea turtles, but it was still satisfying.

ガイドさんがフレンドリーで面白くてとてもよかったです。海が荒れていて海亀は見れなかったけどそれでも満足いくものでした。

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

During the company trip, everyone said they were going to Kailua, but I really wanted to go horseback riding, so I participated alone. But it was so much fun! At Dole Plantation, I enjoyed freshly squeezed pineapple juice and was very satisfied! Then, I went to Haleiwa Town and savored garlic shrimp! At a restaurant recommended by the guide, it was the most plump and delicious garlic shrimp I've ever had! After that, we headed to the North Shore, passing by the Triple Crown (surfing competition). Finally, it was horseback riding time! I was able to truly enjoy the scenery and riding!

The guide was very nice, and to avoid traffic from the Triple Crown, we took a different route back, stopping by a macadamia nut factory along the way. There, I bought macadamia nut butter and incredibly fresh macadamia nuts!

I really enjoyed it!!!!!

社員旅行に行った際、皆、カイルアに行くと言うことで、私一人どうしても乗馬をしたく、一人寂しく参加しました。
だけど、ものすごく楽しかった!
ドールプランテーションでは生絞りパイナップルジュースを飲み、大満足!
そして、ハレイワタウンに行き、ガーリックシュリンプを堪能!ガイドさんおすすめのお店で、今まで食べたガーリックシュリンプの中で、一番プリップリで美味しかった!
その後は、トリプルクラウン(サーフィンの大会)を横目にノースショアへ。いよいよ乗馬タイム!景色と乗馬を心の底から楽しむことが出来ました!

そして、ガイドさんがとても良い方で、トリプルクラウンによる渋滞を避けるため、別ルートで帰路に向かったのですが、途中、マカデミアンナッツ工場に立ち寄ってくださいました。
そこで、マカデミアンナッツバター、すごくフレッシュなマカデミアンナッツを購入!

本当にenjoyしました!!!!!
