I used the airport to hotel shuttle bus. This is my third time using it. The hotel is Waikiki Sunset, located on the outskirts of Waikiki, so it's fun to visit various hotels along the way from the airport, as it's the last stop. The driver was kind and it was a good experience.

空港～ホテル送迎シャトルバスの利用です。
三回目の利用です。
ホテルはワイキキのはずれのワイキキサンセトなので
空港からは最後、空港までは最初で色んなホテルを
巡ることができ楽しいです。
ドライバーも親切で良かったです。

I thought three hours was a bit long, but since there aren't many opportunities to drive on dirt in Japan, I enjoyed it thoroughly. However, the dust is intense, and if you're wearing a white T-shirt, it will get extremely dirty, so please be careful. Even if you don't understand English, you can feel at ease participating as you can watch the explanations in Japanese videos.

3時間は少し長いなと思いましたが、国内ではダートをあまり走る機会がないので、充分楽しめました。
だだ、土塵が凄く、白いＴシャツだととんでも無いくらい汚れますので、ご注意ください。
英語がわからなくても、説明は日本語のビデオを見るので安心して参加できます。

This was a fantastic experience and tourist activity to do as a tourist. The food the, the show, the shops, and hospitality was fantastic. It’s a definite must do.

We did a private ride at sunset and it was incredible. Our guide was so nice and the horses were lovely. The sunset was magical against the ocean and the mountains, and we even saw a rainbow! Would highly recommend!

My daughter enjoyed her private lesson with Moe and really enjoyed his knowledge.

She recommends Moe for a private lesson to anyone looking to improve their skills.

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. Both of us were new to snorkeling and felt a bit anxious before joining, but once we got started, it was so much fun that we completely forgot our worries! The instructors were very friendly and taught us various things in a bright and enjoyable manner, and we got to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. This was our first time having such a wonderful experience, and we had a great time! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。2人ともシュノーケリングは初めてで、参加するまでは不安もありましたが、参加してみたら楽しくて楽しくて、不安感なんて全然ありませんでした！とてもフレンドリーに明るく楽しくいろいろなことを教えていただけて、たくさんの綺麗なお魚やウミガメに出会うことが出来ました。こんな素敵な経験初めてで、とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

There were many participants who were not Japanese, and there was a group that was just too noisy, making it hard to hear the instructions. Although a staff member who understood Japanese explained things individually, it was too loud to hear. People were vaping and even entering the sea with alcohol, yet no one was reprimanding them. I was really looking forward to it, but I couldn't do either stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing. I'm very disappointed.

日本人以外が多く参加しており、とにかく騒いでるグループがいて、注意事項等々聞こえず、日本語のわかるスタッフさんが個別に説明してくださいましたが、うるさ過ぎて聞こえませんでした。
電子タバコをふかしたり…アルコールを持ったまま海に入っていても誰も注意していなかったです。
凄く楽しみにしていたのにサップもカヌーも出来ませんでした。ガッカリです

I was asked for the name of the airline, but I wish they had asked me if the terminals were different for my destination. I got off at Terminal 1, but the terminal for flights to Japan was Terminal 2, so I had to walk a bit. The ground assistant at Terminal 1 kindly came outside to show me the way to the terminal.

エアラインの名前は聞かれたのですが、行き先でターミナルが違うのならば聞いて欲しかったです。
第1ターミナルで降りたのですが、日本行きのターミナルは第2で、少し歩きました。
第1ターミナルのグランドアシスタントが親切にターミナルの外まで出て行き方を教えてくれました。

Had a great time. Definitely would recommend the Royal seating. We left an hour early and arrived a few minutes late, so plan your time wisely with traffic. All you can eat buffet was worth it. Had a few great laughs, enjoyed all the entertainment, crowd participation and cultural teachings. A must do on your list.

We had an awesome time. Checking in was a breeze. The crew was friendly and entertaining! Definitely had the best captain who took her time to track down dolphins and even whales for us to see. A must do if you’re in Honolulu.

Everything was in English from the pickup, but the instructions for operating the buggy were in a Japanese video, so that was fine. It rained during the trip and we got soaked, but that was fun too.

It felt more like enjoying nature rather than just visiting movie filming locations. At the filming spots, the guide was very friendly and took photos for us, which was great.

We had some time before the bus, so we ate a hamburger, but it was expensive (we couldn't use our JCB card).

送迎から全て英語でしたがバギーの操作説明は日本語ビデオだったので大丈夫でした、途中雨が降ってびしょ濡れになりましたがそれも楽しかったです。
映画の撮影地をまわると言うより自然を見て楽しむ感じでした、撮影スポットではガイドの方が写真を撮ってくれたりとてもフレンドリーで良かったです。
バスまで時間があったのでハンバーガーを食べましたが高かったです（JCBのカードが使えませんでした）

The pickup arrived at the hotel. I had been waiting well before the scheduled arrival time, but even after 15 minutes past the time, they still hadn't come. It said not to leave the location and to call if they were more than 5 minutes late, but since I was in a foreign country, I wasn't sure how to make a call, and I was just anxious.

Since there were two of us participating, I had one person wait at the location while I went back to the lobby to ask the hotel staff to help me make a call. During the call, the bus arrived 15 minutes late. I thought that if I had been alone, I might have been left behind while I was away. The driver didn't apologize or anything, and while he did see us off with a smile when we got off, I felt that a 15-minute delay without any communication was quite unacceptable.

ピックアップはホテルに来て頂けました
到着予定時刻よりだいぶ前から待機してたのですが、15分過ぎても来ず、ピックアップの時間を5分過ぎても来ない場合、場所を離れず電話してくださいとありますが、外国なので電話もよくわからず、ただただ不安でした。
二人で参加していたので、一人にはその場所で待っててもらい、その間にロビーに戻り、ホテルの人に頼んで電話してもらうことに。
電話の最中に15分遅れでバスが到着。
もしも1人であれば席を外している間に置いていかれたのではないかなとも思いました。
ドライバーの方も謝罪とかはなく、降りる際は笑顔で見送ってくださいましたが、さすがになんの連絡もなく15分の遅れはひどいなと感じました。

I went snorkeling with a light heart among young people. Thanks to the instructor who guided us without letting go of our hands, I was able to swim for an hour. The waves were rough that day, and I don't think I could have made it on my own, so I'm grateful. Because of that, I had the memorable experience of encountering turtles twice and swimming with them. I was tired, but it was fun.

若い人に混じって軽い気持ちでシュノーケリングしました。
インストラクターの人がずっと手を離さず先導してくれたおかげで、1時間泳ぎ切ることできました。
この日は波が荒く、ひとりでは泳ぎ切れなかったと思うので感謝です。
おかげで、亀にも2度遭遇して一緒に泳いだこと、とても記念になりました。
疲れたけど楽しかったです。

This was my third time at the Rock-a-Flash Show. Each time I go, the audience gets bigger, and the content is more fulfilling and enjoyable. I definitely want to see it again when I go to Hawaii.

今回3度目のロック・ア・フラショーでした。
見る度にお客様も増えていて内容も充実し楽しめました。
またハワイに行った時には是非見たいと思います。

It was a cloudy and chilly day, and the guide recommended renting wetsuits to prevent injuries from the cold and coral. It was definitely the right decision to rent them since we passed very close to the coral.

I was truly thrilled to encounter sea turtles. The guide was bright and very kind, and I greatly appreciated their help. It was a memorable experience for the whole family.

If I have the opportunity to go again someday, I would love to join you.

曇り空で肌寒い日でガイドさんが寒さと珊瑚でケガをするのを予防する為、ウエットスーツのレンタルを勧めてくれました。
珊瑚の上ギリギリのところも通ったので貸りて大正解でした。

海亀と遭遇出来て本当に感激でした。
明るくとても親切でガイドさんには大変お世話になりました。
家族皆んなで参加出来、一生の思い出になりました。

またいつか行く機会があったら是非ご一緒させて頂きたいです。

During the rainy season, I encountered a downpour comparable to a typhoon while on a horse without a roof to shield me. Being by the sea, the wind and rain were so intense that I felt like I was in a survival situation. I was shivering from the cold, completely soaked, and worried about getting injured because the horses nearby were not compatible and were acting up. Looking back after returning home, it has become a funny story, but I really wanted to give up at one point. However, I believe this is just a matter of luck with the weather, so it can't be helped. I'm grateful to the staff who assisted us despite the delays caused by traffic. If I participate again, I will definitely choose a buggy.

雨季だったので、屋根もなく降りられもしない馬の上で台風並のスコールに遭いました。
海沿いなので、風と雨量が凄まじすぎて遭難した気分でした。
全身びしょ濡れの寒さと、たまたま相性の悪い馬同士が近くに居たので暴れて本当に怪我も免れないんじゃないかという思いから震えも止まらなかったです。帰国してからは笑い話でしたが、本当に途中でギブアップしたかったです。。
ただこれは天候という運だと思うので、仕方ないことですし、交通渋滞で遅れてしまったにも関わらず対応下さった施設の方々には感謝です。
もし次回参加するとしたら間違いなくバギーにします。。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I still had a great time! I think even those with a fear of heights won't find it too scary since it's over the sea! The sea breeze feels nice, and the driver, who was quite energetic, made it even better!

あいにく天気は曇りでしたがそれでもとても楽しかったです！
高所恐怖症の方でも下は海なのでそんなに怖くないとおもいます！
海風も気持ちよいし、運転手も飛ばしてくれる方(?)もテンション高めで最高です！

After finishing an early dinner, we headed to the 4th-floor venue of the Royal Hawaiian Center. With excitement building, the show began. The rock and hula show started off vibrantly and energetically. The singing and hula were wonderful, instantly immersing us in the Hawaiian spirit.

About ten hula dancers performed on stage with instruments like the uli uli and puili, and their acrobatic performances were impressive. After a while, an Elvis Presley impersonator took the stage, and he was amazing—not just in appearance but also in costume and voice! The video of the real Elvis Presley projected beside him was equally captivating.

Next up was a Michael Jackson impersonator. I was truly impressed by the professionalism of both performers! The finale featured a fire dance that was powerful, with the intensity and heat of the dancers' sweat adding to the spectacle. It was incredible!

An hour and a half flew by, and I couldn't take my eyes off the performance for a moment. With excitement still buzzing, we headed back to the hotel, having truly enjoyed a wonderful evening.

早めの夕食を済ませて、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階会場へ。
ワクワクしながら、、さあ始まりました。
ロックフラショーが華やかに賑やかにスタートです。
歌もフラも素敵で一気にハワイアンの気分で盛り上がりました。
10人位のフラダンサーがウリウリやプイリの楽器を持って舞台狭しとダンスされたり、アクロバットを取り入れたパフォーマンスも見ごたえありました。
しばらくすると、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさん、容姿だけでなく衣装も歌声も素晴らしい！舞台横に映し出されたエルビスプレスリーご本人の映像と何ら引けなく、釘付けです。
なんと次はマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんです。
おふたりのプロ意識には感服しました！
最後はファイアーダンスです。迫力があり、熱さもダンサーの汗も飛び散ってくる迫力でした。凄い！ていう言葉しかありません。
あっという間の一時間半、片時も目を離さずにはいられません。
興奮冷めやらぬ気持ちでホテルに向かいましたが、本当に楽しい夜を過ごせました。

Everything was on time, and I was able to find the meeting place without any trouble. There were four hotels, and about 16 people gathered, so the meeting time was a bit early at 9:35 for a 13:15 departure. The driver was friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

時間通り、集合場所も迷うことなく利用できた。
ホテルは4か所、16人ほど乗り合わせたため、13：15出発に対して9：35集合と少し集合時間は早めだった。
運転手さんが気さくで気持ちよく利用できた。

5:55 meeting time
After about an hour's drive by microbus, we headed to the West Coast.
The temperature was a bit low and there was some wind, so it's advisable to bring something to wear.
The boat also swayed, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Although we didn't end up seeing dolphins, we did see whales and sea turtles while snorkeling along the way.
The sea was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay in for too long.
I heard that there’s a plan from Honolulu where you can see dolphins while going to see sea turtles, so I think I'll choose that next time.
The staff, including the Japanese staff, were all very nice, and I had a great time using the service.

5：55集合
1時間ほどマイクロバスで移動し、西海岸へ
やや気温は低めで風もあったため、羽織れるものは持っておいた方が無難。
船も揺れるため、乗り物酔いしやすい人にはおすすめできない。
イルカは結局見ることはできなかったが、途中クジラとシュノーケリングでウミガメは見ることができた。
海が少し寒くあまり長時間は入れなかった。
ホノルル発のウミガメを見に行くプランでもイルカが見れるとのことで、次はそちらにしようと思う。
日本人スタッフはじめ、スタッフがいい人ばかりで楽しく利用できた。

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!

Great time parasailing. The boat crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience! The check in process was very smooth, and they even offer photo services which is a great idea

We experienced a 2-hour horseback riding course with four people. The person who rode at the front wasn't very skilled at handling the horse, so after an hour, one person was taken off the horse and made to wait at the meeting point. I think the criteria for judgment were too strict. I believe that beginners should decline to ride at the front. While I understand it was for safety reasons, as a tourist participating, it left a bad aftertaste. Beginners might want to avoid this course.

乗馬2時間コースを４人で体験しました。
先頭で乗馬した人間が、あまり上手く馬を取り扱えなかった為、１時間を過ぎた所で、１人馬から降ろされ、集合場所で待たされました。
判断基準が厳しすぎると思います。
経験が浅い方は、先頭は断った方が良いと思います。
安全の為、仕方ないとは思いましたが、
観光客として参加した為、後味は悪くなりました。
初心者は、このコースは、控えたほうが良いのかもしれません。

I was moved by the experience of nature that you can't find in Japan! If you go to Hawaii, I definitely recommend trying horseback riding or something similar, but there are some points to be aware of. There is a proper Japanese video for driving instructions, so that's not a problem, but on the day of my visit, there wasn't a single staff member who spoke Japanese. If you don't understand English at all, you might not grasp the explanations about the filming locations. (There were no simple Japanese explanations provided either.)

日本では味わえないような大自然を体験でき、感動しました！ハワイに行かれる際は乗馬かどちらか是非体験してほしいですが、注意点もあります。運転の方法はきちんと日本語のビデオがあるので問題ありませんが、当日のスタッフで日本語を話せる方は1人もいませんでした。英語がさっぱりな方映画ロケ地の説明等は分からないと思います。(簡単な単語レベルの日本語の補足もありません)

I was worried about the weather, but it was low tide, sunny, and calm—perfect conditions that were truly beautiful. I was also able to see the honu up close. I was informed that there might not always be staff who speak Japanese, but on my boat, there were two, and I was able to experience everything without any issues.

天候などが心配でしたが、干潮かつ晴天、無風で最高の条件でとても美しかったです。ホヌも間近で見ることができました。必ず日本語が話せるスタッフがいるとは限らないとのことでしたが、私の船には二人もいらっしゃり、何不自由なく体験できました。

The weather was absolutely beautiful, perfect for a day at the beach! I was so happy to see sea turtles both from the boat on the way there and while snorkeling (even though it was a bit far).

It was great to see that there were people who were properly addressing those who were breaking the rules, whether they were part of another tour or individuals. It showed that everyone is committed to preserving the beauty created by nature.

As mentioned in other reviews, it was still a bit chilly when getting in and out of the water during this season, so I recommend bringing a large towel or a cover-up.

天候が非常に良く、天国の海日和でした！！
向かうまでの船からも、シュノーケリング中も（少し遠かったけど）ウミガメを見ることができて幸せでした♫
また、別のツアーなのか個人で来てる人なのかわかりません、ルール違反をしている方を見つけてはきちんと注意等されていたところが、皆様がこの自然の生み出した美しさを保たれていることがわかりよかったです。
他のレビューにもある通り、時期的にまだ海にずっと入っていたり、上がったりすると寒かったのでちゃんと大きめのタオルや羽織を持っていくことをおすすめします。

My elderly mother was able to relax and enjoy a comfortable time without worry. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was stunning against the blue sky.

高齢の母も安心して喜んでのんびりゆったりと快適な時間を過ごしました
海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは青空とともに絶景でした

I was finally able to see the Rock-a-Hula show again after a long time (maybe the third time?). You can enjoy a high-level show featuring impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and some people I didn't recognize (laughs), along with a hula show. However, it seemed like Michael Jackson was a bit tired? I felt that his sharpness was slightly lacking. Still, it brought back memories of that time, and I had a very moving and enjoyable experience. The venue is located within the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, making it easily accessible for older individuals, so I highly recommend it.

久しぶりに、ロック・ア・フラショーを観る事が出来ました。（多分、3回目？）エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、知らない人（笑）のそっくりさん達と、フラショーを交えたレベルの高いショーが楽しめます。ただ、マイケル・ジャクソンさん、少しお疲れだったのでしょうか？あのキレッ！キレ！さが少し欠けていたように感じました。それでも、当時の事を思い出し、とても感動し、楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。開催場所も、ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内にあり、高齢な方でも気軽にアクセスしやすい場所なので、お勧めします。

It was thrilling. There were staff members who spoke Japanese and provided detailed explanations. They took photos and videos with a GoPro, which I purchased as a keepsake. I also appreciated that there was no pressure regarding the photos, which made it even more appealing. You can't experience this in Japan. I want to go again.

スリル満点でした。日本語が喋れるスタッフがいて説明も丁寧に教えてくれました。GoProでの写真、動画撮影をしてくれたので 購入し思い出となりました。写真なども強制感が無かったところがまた魅力的に感じました。日本だと味わえないです。また行きたいです。

They were accommodating in the early morning, and there were about three groups in the vehicle, including us. We were the only Japanese people. I was happy that the driver helped carry our luggage into the vehicle and was attentive to ensure we didn't get off at the wrong terminal. The best part is that this shuttle service operates even for early morning flights.

早朝に対応してくれていて 車内は私たち含めて3組ほど。日本人は私たちだけでした。運転手さんが
荷物を車内まで運んでくれて ターミナルも間違えないように気を配ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。
1番いいところは早朝の飛行機でも ここの送迎バスは対応してくれるということです。
