My daughter and I had a wonderful time at chief’s luau. The Chief was so funny and they all put on a great show! You could really feel the warmth of his personality shining through his speech and his humor made everything great. Tons of fire dancing, singing, story telling, and more dancing all around. Great food and great people to share the experience with. Felt like you were still in paradise. Definitely recommend purchasing close up seats and the lei package so you can get the full experience. Especially if it’s your first time in Hawaii. Totally worth every penny.

It's great for mountain bike enthusiasts, but not suitable for movie lovers who want to visit filming locations; it was just about riding.

マウンティンバイク好きには良いが、映画好きで撮影スポット巡りをしたい方にはあわない、
走ってるだけでした。

I was able to see a lot of sea turtles! The beautiful ocean and comfortable water temperature reminded me of my student days, and I was captivated by the fish, coral reefs, and the turtles. My three daughters, who were experiencing ocean leisure for the first time, initially said they couldn't touch the bottom, but they quickly got used to it and had an amazing time. We got plenty of great photos.

You need to take off your shoes when boarding. It's barefoot inside the boat. The luggage storage is just a case-like area, so it's best not to leave valuables behind. While you're having fun, you can come and go freely even without staff around, so self-management is important. The only money you'll need is for tips; there was also a paid shower, but we didn't have time to change and ended up getting on the shuttle bus in our wet swimsuits. We did put down a towel, but no one said anything about it.

The explanations are in English, but there are staff members who speak Japanese well, which is reassuring.

When the wind blew the float away, the staff went to retrieve it, and during snorkeling, we moved in groups with staff, so it felt safe, and they pointed out the turtle spots. The snacks on the boat were a nice treat during breaks. Although I didn't use it, there was also a restroom on board. Of course, you can use the parking lot restroom before boarding. It was a lot of fun.

ホヌ、たくさん見れましたよ！
きれいな海と水温も心地よく、50代の私も学生の頃を思い出して水中の魚や珊瑚礁、ホヌさんに夢中でした。海レジャー初体験の娘3人も、初めは足がつかない〜って言ってましたが、すぐに慣れてめちゃくちゃ楽しめました。いい写真いっぱいです。

乗船の時に履き物脱ぎます。船の中は裸足です。
荷物置き場は衣裳ケースみたいなものに入れて置くだけなので、貴重品できるだけ置いて行かない方がいいです。遊んでる間、休憩したりとスタッフいなくても出入り自由なので自己管理を。
お金を使うのはチップくらいで有料シャワーもあったようですが、私たちは着替える時間なくて送迎車に濡れたままの水着で乗りました。いちおうタオルひきましたが、特に何も言われないです。

説明は英語ですが、日本語上手なスタッフもいて安心です。

風で浮き輪が流された時も、スタッフが取りにいってくださったり、シュノーケリングもかたまって移動し、スタッフも一緒なので、安心だし、ホヌポイント教えてくれます。
船のお菓子も休憩時にはうれしかったです。
利用してませんが船上にお手洗いもついてましたよ。もちろん、乗船前に駐車場トイレに行けます。
楽しかったです。

As soon as I exited the arrival lobby, I saw a yellow reception desk to the left, and when I headed there, they immediately greeted me. It was easy to find.
I waited for about 10 minutes until it was time to board the bus. The other passengers that day were all foreigners except for me, so it was nice to experience an international atmosphere. (That said, there’s no need to worry about difficult conversations.) The bus was full, with people sitting next to each other, and only those who were not of Asian descent were not wearing masks.
At one point, the driver stopped the bus and went somewhere for about five minutes (I guess this is part of the culture?), and since we also stopped at other hotels, it took about 30 minutes, but it was within acceptable limits. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you.

到着ロビーを出てすぐ左に黄色の受付があったのでそちらに向かうと、すぐ声をかけてくださいました。分かりやすかったです。
バスに乗るまで10分程度待ちました。その日の乗客は私以外は外国人だったので、外国気分を味わえて良かったです。(かと言って難しい会話は無いので心配ないです) 車内は相席をする程の満席で、アジア系の方以外はマスクをしていませんでした。
途中車を止めて5分くらい運転手さんがどこかに行ってしまったり、(これは文化？なので仕方ないですかね)他のホテルも回ってからなので30分くらいかかりましたが許容範囲内でした。次回も利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

They visited each hotel in a shared transport, and since our hotel was the last one, they arrived a little over 15 minutes late. If you're in a hurry, a taxi would be the best option. If you have some time to spare, then the cheaper bus would be a good choice.

混載で各ホテルを回ってこられ私たちのホテルは最後のホテルだったので１５分ちょっと遅れてこられました。
急ぎならタクシーでしょうか。
余裕があるなら値段の安いバスですね。

I used this service when I returned from the Big Island to Honolulu on a domestic flight. The flight was delayed, but it seems that the buses run quite frequently, so I was able to board right away.

ハワイ島からホノルルに国内便で戻ってきたときに利用しました。
飛行機は遅れてたのですがバスは割と頻繁に出てるみたいですぐに乗れました。

The tour guide was wonderful. Our bus driver Jimmy did a fantastic job. They only disappoint was the snorkeling, but then again we are experienced and for beginners it was great.

Honestly, my expectations for this tour was not high. Reviews seemed mixed all around (i.e., Yelp, Google, etc.) and what I "really" wanted was the tour that had all the additional activities, i.e., banana boat, stand-up paddle board, but it was completely booked. However, the experience on this specific tour was sooooo much better that I anticipated. I booked the reservation for 17 (14 adults + 3 children), with most visiting from the East Coast mainland with even quite a handful of locals for which this was their first time to Sandbar, and they were more than accommodating to our large party. At first, I thought the time allocation was too short for each excursion (1. Sandbar (1-hr), 2. Turtle watching (15 min.); 3. Snorkeling (1-hr)), but it was perfect! Any longer and it would have felt drawn out. The lunch tasted better than I expected. Not too little and definitely not too much (otherwise the kids would have vomitted!). So don't be discouraged by it JUST being a BBQ burger -- you'll be pleasantly surprised. Drinks were available on board - non-alcoholic (free) and alcoholic ($5 each) and they had quite a variety so don't worry about being parched! The boat staff was super energetic and had a really cool vibe. They informed you ahead of time of all the do's and don'ts and was always available to answer any and all questions and concerns. And lastly, the Captain really made the trip memorable! He was a lot of fun and you just knew he loved his job. The weather was perfect, so that too, helped to make the day. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and I look forward to recommending this tour package to the rest of our family and friends, local and visiting.

Great guides for first time and friendly, professional

Our family had an amazing time on this fishing trip. The crew was sooo friendly and kind! They were so helpful when I had to nurse my baby on board and they gave us ginger chews if we felt nauseous. We highly recommend them and would be so happy to come back.

Capt Bob's sandbar tour was awesome. Capt Eggy and crew were A+. The snorkeling around the mini pop up reef was the highlight of the day. Running around the sandbar was fun. Getting to see Honus along the way was spectacular. Lunch was good. Capt Eggy and crew were very accommodating to everyone's needs. Highly recommend taking this tour. It was worth it.

Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.

初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。

I had a fun experience!
I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much!

楽しい体験をさせて頂きました！
やはり難しいし、沖までパドリングして波の場所まで行き来する事があんなにしんどいとは知りませんでした。
ハードでしたがとても楽しかったです。
やはりサーフィンは難しい‍♀️
でも少しでも体感出来ればはまりそうです。
ボディボードとの違いを思い知りました。
ロコの年季の入った方が先生で、優しくて親しみがありそれも面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました

My adult daughter and teenage son and I had an amazing time. From the warm welcoming from the hula dancers and music being played to the staff. I had a reserved table with the view of the water. Beautiful set up. The food was delicious and beautiful presentation. Our waiter was very attentive. Enjoyed the dancers/performance and music. The fireworks show from Waikiki because it was on a Friday night was absolutely beautiful while being on the water. The fireworks were okay wished it was more of them but it was nice just the same. I highly recommend this cruise. We went in July 2022

Spectacular time. Terrific reef! 107 feet below the ocean.

We had a great time. We only took the short tour which wasn't near enough time so we'll definitely be doing it again & taking the longer tour.

Our bus driver was full of knowledge about Pearl Harbor & Hawaii so the trip there & back was also amazing.

Amazing experience. Great crew and the food. It's worth it.

Horses were essentially on autopilot. Just allowed you to enjoy the views!

It was the perfect ride from pick up to drop-off at hotel. The staff from dispatch people to airport staff and drivers are super wonderful and courteous people. They really know how to take care of there customers!

A very great tour and guide , we really recommanded

The chefs Luau was the best one we have ever attended. Great seats, awesome atmosphere, wonderful food all topped off with a history lesson on Hawaiis culture. Then they threw in a little comedy and it was over the top. Grandkids loved it.

Booking was very easy and they did a nice job of working with us since not all of our parties made it on the same boat at first. It was not the nicest day but the crew on board did there best to keep up safe and allow us to have fun at the same time. I loved that the had live singing as well as lunch for everyone. Another plus was that there was restrooms. I couldn't complain about all of the different activities that we could do. Book the banana ride ahead of time is my only tip!

From check in to the end this was well organized. We loved our waiter, how our table was set for us, delicious drinks. The show while we ate our dinner was amazing they did a wonderful job, the music was also pleasant, and dessert was yummy, the view is breathtaking. We went in July so we did not need sweaters of any kind. We did not know if we'd get motion sickness, so we still took some dramamine an hour before and we did just fine. We also loved our picture a memory that we will forever have with us, worth the price!

It was amazing. Our tour guide was very informative and very personable. There were 5. People from my family plus 5 purge guests on the tour.
It is something I’ll never forget. Meeting and having lunch with Shawn was an added bonus.

The bus ride was fun and the tour guide did an excellent job. But this tour did not give us reserved access to the Arizona tour. My family was extremely disappointed.

I chose jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boating! I was taken from the pickup location to a boat on the water, where I participated in each activity. There were several people who spoke Japanese and a few others who understood it, so I didn't have much trouble with conversation or explanations. They engaged with me a lot, which made the waiting time not boring at all. Each activity was very enjoyable, and they took proper safety precautions, so I think it was a satisfying day. It was really great that I could purchase photos and videos after the activities!

ジェットスキー、パラセーリング、バナナボートを選択しました！
ピックアップ場所から水上にある船に連れて行ってもらい、そこでそれぞれのアクティビティに参加させていただきました。
日本語を話せる方が何人かいらっしゃるのと、日本語がわかる方がその他数人いらっしゃったので、会話や説明にはあまり困らず、たくさん話しかけていただいて、待ち時間もあまり退屈しませんでした。
それぞれのアクティビティもとても楽しく、安全にもきちんと配慮してくださり、満足のいく日になったと思います。写真や動画も、アクティビティのあと購入できたので本当に良かったです！

Very well organized tour. The tour left on time and excellent management. My kids (age 8-16) love the activities.

This was a great way to get out on the water and see the Waianae Coast while watching the beautiful sunset!

The staff was outstanding and fun. The 10-minute boat ride was informative and not bad at all for those afraid of seasickness.

The pesto chicken wrap that came with the full day package was dry, it needed extra dressing. The included activities (kayak, paddle board, etc..) were good. Beach volleyball nets and balls were ok (bring your own ball if you have it), the sand had a lot of hard marble-sized cones from the surrounding trees, tough on the feet - good shade though.

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.

Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.

ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。
