Oahu
Kualoa Ranch is an amazing place full of great activities and staff. Our family took the ATV tour of the ranch with guides, Taeil and Orlando. It was 2 hours long with stops for picture opportunities and to soak in the amazing views. The guides shared the history of the ranch as well as fun facts about the movies and tv shows that have been filmed there. Both guides were funny and incredibly personable- truly representing the Aloha spirit. The ATV drive/ride was exciting and fun with the majority being easy to intermediate driving. We have great memories and pictures to last a lifetime. Highly recommend visiting the Ranch and taking part in their wide array of activities.
The sandbar and the hosts did a amazing job. I will be returning and letting my friends know!
The driver was wearing a mask. I think the fare is a bit higher than a flat-rate taxi or Uber, but I always use this service, so I feel safe. I will use it again next time.
ドライバーの方は、マスクを着用されてました。金額は、定額タクシーやウーバーより高めかと思いますがいつも利用しているので安心です。また、次回も利用させていただきます。
For the cost this tour was great! The tour guide, Larry was excellent. He provided so much history as we drove to Pearl Harbor and gave clear instructions on what to expect at the site. This tour is good if you want a quick drive around Waikiki and its history and paying respect to Pearl Harbor. Very pleased!
Was a good day at the cruise , I enjoy it very much the day
We are retired and this was a bucket list item. This was fun for any age an experience you take with you forever.
We made adventure friends and have pictures to share with our grandkids.
I highly recommend this for families with kids. A wonderful way to start a new appreciation for the ocean.
The food was delicious and the cruise was very nice. The only thing is there were too many tables and left no room for the entertainment. There should have been a better stage set up.
It can't be helped, but the prices have gone up compared to before. If I'm alone, I'll use the shuttle bus, but if there are two or more people, I think a taxi would be better. Also, as I've mentioned before, there is only one drop-off point at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and depending on where you're staying, it can be quite a walk from where you get dropped off, so in that regard, a taxi might be better as well.
しょうがないですが、以前より値上がりしてて一人でならシャトルバス使いますが、2人以上ならタクシーがいいかなと思いました。
あと、前からですがヒルトンハワイヴィレッジのドロップオフポイントは一箇所しかなく、降りた場所から泊まる場所によってはすごい歩くので、やはりこの点もタクシーの方がいいのかもしれません。。。
The boat is so big. Not crowded. There were a lot of space which I love! We were able to see the sunset! The view is amazing! The staffs are super nice and friendly. They kept asking to take photos for us. Definitely recommend!
Had a lot of fun with the gf doing all the fun activities!
My partner and I absolutely loved their sunset cruise! Their entire crew was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The day we boarded was just myself, my partner and another family of four, which made it a very relaxing and peaceful day experience. The music, food, and history was something we will never forget. Even though the water was calm that day, don’t forget dramamine if you get easily sea sick like myself! I felt so bad for probably looking so uncomfortable, because it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful for the chance to have been on board with them.
Very fun vibe. Crew was fun and helpful. The live music was spectacular. We loved snorkeling! It was nice that you could do activities whenever you wanted and for how long you wanted. We did the afternoon and got our lunch as we boarded and it was good. Tide was higher, so we couldn't play volleyball but we got to go tubing and it was perfect for snorkeling. If you want a lower water level/less waves at the sand bar, I would say do the morning but we liked sleeping in and it was perfect for us as a couple. Families seemed to really enjoy it as well. I was really looking forward to this excursion and it met my high expectations for sure! Book it!
I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.
Hi Dan,
We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:
1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.
Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.
In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.
With Aloha
Perhaps due to the impact of the hurricane, the place we arrived at by bus was cloudy. However, when we reached the sandbar, the sun came out and it was fantastic. Morning is definitely the best time.
On the boat, there were free drinks and snacks, so even if I got tired during snorkeling, I could come up and take a break.
Even for someone like me who isn't good at swimming, it was fine.
This was my second time, but I still can't help but worry about the rising water levels...
ハリケーンの影響か、バスで着いた所は曇り。
でもサンドバーまで行くと太陽が出てきて最高でした。やはり午前が良いですね。
船上はフリードリンク、スナック菓子でシュノーケリングの途中で疲れても上がって休憩できました。
泳ぎが苦手な私でも大丈夫でしたよ
2度目でしたが、やはり気になるのは水位の上昇ですね…
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you very much for joining us for the second time. We are so glad that the weather cleared up and you were able to enjoy your time!
It’s great to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
この度は2度目のツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。なんとか晴れて楽しんで頂けて嬉しく思います!
シュノーケル、楽しんでいただけたようで、良かったです。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Overall, the day went smoothly! The staff gave us lots of advice on where to kayak out to: whether we wanted to go to the sandbar or out snorkelling to see some sea animals. It took us an hour to get out to the sandbar and about 45 minutes to get back to the rental area. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen after heading into the water and kayaking back!
Aloha Jenny! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you also for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. So glad to hear our staff took good care of you and that you had a great kayak and snorkel experience with us! Good advice about the sunscreen. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
SO MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TO DO, A PICNIC LUNCH WA PERFECT FOR A BOAT DAY
The booking went smooth and the Shark dive was amazing
There was an issue with the engine, so I had to switch buses midway. As a result, it took longer than usual. Other than that, there were no problems.
エンジン不調があって,バスを途中で乗り換えることになりました。そのため,通常より時間がかかりました。それ以外は問題ありませんでした。
This time, I used the shuttle service from the airport to the hotel again, and the driver was a cheerful person who friendly chatted with me saying, "I LOVE JAPAN!" The service was great, and when we arrived at the airport, I was dropped off near the airline check-in counter, which allowed me to check in without having to walk unnecessarily through the airport. It was really good! I would like to use it again. Thank you!
今回も空港からホテルまでの送迎シャトルを利用させていただきましたが、運転手さんも陽気な方で「I LOVE JAPAN!」とフレンドリーに話しかけてくれて対応も良く、空港に着く際も航空会社のチェックインカウンター付近に下車させていただき無駄に空港内を歩かずにチェックインを済ませる事が出来てとても良かったです!また利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました!
This time, I used the service when I arrived in Honolulu on a flight from Japan. Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the group exit was closed that day, so I exited through the individual exit. It seems that one of them is closed depending on the day. As soon as I exited, there was a Roberts booth, and since I had made a reservation in advance, there was a sign with my name on it. You can use the service without a reservation, but when I arrived in Honolulu on a domestic flight in April this year, it was after 5 PM, and there were no staff around, so I ended up taking a taxi. Therefore, having a reservation is definitely more reassuring. There are still few Japanese tourists, and I thought it would take time to depart, but the waiting time was less than 5 minutes. There were only three groups, including myself, totaling six people, and we departed and arrived at our destination in 40 minutes. (The second of three locations) The driver was friendly and pleasant. I plan to make a reservation and use the service again next time.
今回は、日本からのフライトでホノルルへ到着した時に利用しました。
現在、コロナ禍の為、その日は団体出口はCLOSEしていて、個人出口から出ました。
日によって、どちらかがCLOSEするようです。
出ると、すぐロバーツのブースがあり、事前予約だった為、私の名前を書いた札が貼ってありました。
事前予約がなくても利用出来ますが、今年の4月に国内線でホノルルに入った時は17時を過ぎていた為、スタッフさんは誰もいなくて、結局、タクシーを利用したので、やはり、事前予約の方が安心できます。
まだまだ日本人観光客が少なく、出発まで時間がかかるかと思いきや、待ち時間は5分間もなかったです。
お客様は私を含め、3組のみ6人でしたが、出発し、目的地まで40分間で着きました。
(3箇所中の2番目)
ドライバーさんもにこやかで感じが良かったです。
また次回も事前予約して利用しようと思っています。
"BK" the tour bus driver is very knowledgeable and friendly gentlemen. He explained everything for us and made sure we were prepared. Highly recommended!
Overall an amazing experience from the start! Just walking in everybody is already a joker. The performances were captivating and incredible to watch. Not to mention the food that went with it!
I booked a shuttle from the hotel to Honolulu Airport, and on the day of the trip, I waited at the meeting point, but the bus didn't arrive even after some time. When I went outside, I found it stopped a little further back, unloading luggage. Most of the passengers were Americans, with only one or two Japanese, including us. Usually, for optional tours, they come to call you in the lobby, but this time there was none, and if we hadn't noticed the bus in the back, we might have been left behind. This shuttle operates entirely in English, so for those who are not confident in their English skills, it might be a bit risky as you may not know which terminal to get off at.
ホテルからホノルル空港までのシャトルということで申し込みをして当日に至りました。
集合場所で待っていると時間が過ぎてもバスは来なかったので、外に出てみると少し後方で止まって荷物の積み下ろし作業をしていました。
ほとんどがアメリカ人で、日本人は私たちともう一人くらい。
普段のオプショナルツアーだと集合ロビーに呼びにくるのだが、今回はそれもなくて後方のバスに気が付かなければおいて行かれることもあったかもしれない。
このシャトルは、すべて英語でのやりとりなので、英語が苦手な方は降りるターミナルもわからずちょっとリスクが多いかもしれません。
1st time doing zipline with my son and we had a great time. All stuff are professional and friendly.
I appreciated leaving on time from the harbor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The ride
allowed us to see the beautiful Kaneohe Bay. We were given ample time on the soundbar which is breathtaking. Snorkeling was also a lot of fun and we see a number of turtles. The lunch and service was great.
My family thoroughly enjoyed this snorkeling excursion. My kids said this was the best activity on our entire stay on Oahu. Thank you Holokai!
Friendly and informative staff! Gave us great recommendations on where in the waters to go. It was a very new experience being able to walk and snorkel around the Sandbar and we were very lucky to see and swim with a few turtles at the Sandbar as well!
Aloha Mira! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review for us! We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear that you had such a great kayaking, snorkeling, sandbar experience. And very glad to hear our staff took good care of you and the turtles cooperated! Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
It was written that masks should be worn, but everyone had them off. I think it would be reassuring if they could enforce safety measures a bit more thoroughly so that I could feel comfortable making a reservation.
マスク着用と書いてありましたが皆外してました。少し安全管理を徹底してもらえると安心して予約できると思いました。
Our trip was amazing, food was great!
They gave us everything we needed; we hope to book again. The sandbar was great to be able to play volleyball and then snorkel and sea the turtles. Best adventure by far!
Dont expect to snorkel in waiste deep water without a life jacket.
