Oahu
I was able to spend my arrival day without wasting time by directly dropping off my luggage at the lounge in Ala Moana Center from the airport, shopping at Ala Moana Center and Whole Foods, and then getting a ride back to the hotel from Ala Moana Center. Time surprisingly flies by quickly. Since the shuttle from Ala Moana Center to the hotel runs once an hour, I thought it would have been better if it ran every 30 minutes.
空港からそのままアラモアナセンターのラウンジに荷物を預けて、アラモアナセンターやホールフーズで買い物をして、アラモアナセンターからまたホテルまで送迎してもらえるので、到着の日の時間を無駄にすることなく過ごす事ができました。意外と時間がすぐ経ってしまいますね。アラモアナセンターからホテルまでの送迎が1時間に1本なので、30分おきだともっと良かったかなとも思います。
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。
The sandbar was quite cold in winter, with water levels up to an adult's waist.
I was able to see sea turtles!
Also, the hamburger for lunch was delicious.
I'm glad I was able to take a lot of photos.
サンドバーは冬に行くとなのか、大人の腰まで水位があり、めちゃくちゃ寒かったです。
ウミガメ見れました!
あとランチのハンバーガー美味しかったです。
写真もたくさんとっていただけてよかったです。
We had a BLAST! We were scheduled on a night before Christmas, however, due to very bad weather, the Mayor kept light display “dark”. Enoa Tours provided EXCELLENT customer service! They were determined and devoted to rescheduling us or giving us a full refund! We rode on the last night of City Lights and, although Christmas had past, with our upbeat and fun driver we rocked out to a special Christmas/Sha la la playlist and waved, wished a Happy New Year to everyone we passed!
MAHALO NUI LOA Enoa Tours, we will DEFINITELY make this a Christmas tradition and invite family and friends to join us!
Unlike the regular trolley, this one takes a detour to beautiful illuminated spots. When I got off the trolley in front of the city hall, the giant Santa statue and the Hawaiian-style decorations were wonderful. I see the Santa statue during the day when passing by on TheBus, but its sparkling appearance at night is exceptional. Additionally, inside the city hall, there was an exhibition of Christmas wreaths made by local citizens, and the unique wreaths were impressive.
通常のトロリーと違って、イルミネーションの美しい箇所を寄り道して通り、市庁舎前で、トロリーを降りたら、巨大なサンタ像、ハワイ風のデコレーションが素晴らしかった。サンタ像は、昼間にもTheBusで通る際にも見るが、夜の光輝く姿は格別です。また、市庁舎内には、一般市民の作ったクリスマスリースの展示もあり、個性豊かなリースが印象的でした。
Even though it was the ocean, I was surprised to find a shallow area up to my knees! I was worried about getting seasick, but thanks to the guidance of the staff, all ten of us from three generations had a great time and came back happy. I was moved to see sea turtles while snorkeling. Next, I want to stand on a white sandy beach!
沖なのに膝下までの浅瀬にびっくり!
船酔が心配事でしたが、スタッフの方々の案内により三世代10人が皆が楽しんで帰ってきました。
シュノーケリングでウミガメが見られて感動です
次は白い砂浜に立ちたいです!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are very happy to hear that your three-generation family enjoyed the experience. 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。三世代のご家族で楽しんでいただいていたなんて、とても嬉しく思います。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。
It was raining and cold since it was winter, but they lent us wetsuits, which made a big difference. We were able to do paddleboarding and watch sea turtles and tropical fish, but it was a bit disappointing that the sea was murky due to the rain. The downside of making a reservation in advance is that you can't predict the weather. It seems that tips were not included in the experience cost, so we paid when we got off the boat. The masala and barbecue were very delicious.
I recommend bringing a waterproof case for your smartphone so you can take pictures underwater.
I lowered my rating by one star because the shuttle bus driver seemed to be in a bad mood, appearing a bit angry both going and returning (we signed the consent form in the car, but he threw the completed form in front of the car), which was a bit scary.
雨が降っていて、冬だったので寒かったのですが、ウエットスーツを貸していただけたので、だいぶ違いました。
パドルボートもウミガメ、熱帯魚ウォッチングもできましたが、雨のせいで海が濁っていたのが、少し残念です。
事前に予約していくと、天気までは予測できない点がデメリットですね。
体験費用にはチップは含まれていないようで、船を降りるときに払いました。
マサラダとバーベキューはとても美味しかったです。
スマホの防水ケースを持っていくと、海の中で写真が撮れるのでお勧めです。
星を1つ下げたのは、送迎バス運転手さん、機嫌が悪いのか、行きも帰りも少し怒っているような感じで(同意書を車で書いたのですが、書き終えた同意書を受けっとって車の前のところに投げたり)少し怖かったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We sincerely apologize for the attitude of the shuttle bus driver. We will address this issue promptly. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアーを楽しんでいただいたようで、嬉しく思います。送迎バスの運転手の態度、大変申し訳ございませんでした。早急に対応させていただきます。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。
The bus arrived on time♪
They also handled the luggage quickly.
The interior was clean, and it felt nice to ride.
定刻通りバスも来ました♪
荷物も速やかに運んでくださいました。
社内も清潔で、乗っていて気持ちいい気分です
It was a very nice horseback riding session.
The view was great.
Maybe less hour might have been nice if you are a beginner because my bottom started to hurt the last 30 minutes. Other than that, the staff were very friendly and it was a nice time :)
When I arrived just before 5 o'clock, there was already quite a line. Since we were a group of seven, I was worried about whether we could sit together, but we were able to sit at the same table.
The food was delicious. Since we chose the cheapest plan, we only received one welcome drink, a Mai Tai, and after that, we could only get water, which was a bit disappointing.
The show was fun, but it felt quite touristy. I thought the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center was more authentic.
The location was good, and I think it's a nice place to enjoy a show in Waikiki.
5時ちょっと前に行ったらもうかなり並んでいました。7人グループだったので一緒に座れるか不安でしたが、同じテーブルに座れました。
ご飯は美味しかったです。一番安いプランだったので、飲み物がウエルカムドリンクのマイタイ一杯だけで、あとはお水しかもらえないのがちょっと残念でした。
ショーは楽しかったですが、かなり観光客向けという感じでした。ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターのショーのほうが本格的だと思いました。
場所もよく、ワイキキでショーを楽しむにはいいと思いました。
We had to wait about half an hour for the “tour” to begin. The driver mentioned a couple of places on the way to the drop off point but basically it was a bus ride to downtown where we got off the bus and walked around for an hour on our own and then boarded the bus back to the bus depot. An Uber would have been a lot cheaper.
I will not sign up for this tour again in the future.
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!
The tour was cool and a nice memory !
Walking and playing beach volleyball in the middle of the ocean ! Also saw lots of seaturtles !! Awesome ! Nice tour !
Very good experience with Washin Air. The proprietor is an instructor too and has superb control over the aircraft. I was able to take good aerial photography shots...Aerial Hawaii is beautiful and a must do...
Aloha! Thank you for coming to Washin Air. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your flight with our pilot. You can also operate our plane. We hope to see you again. MAHALO!
The lounge was clean, and it was reassuring that they spoke Japanese. Since I originally had a plan to stop by Ala Moana, I thought a bus would be arranged to match the hotel check-in time, but it turned out that a separate reservation at the lounge was needed for stopping by Ala Moana. That day it was crowded, and there were no buses until 6 PM, which threw off my schedule a bit.
ラウンジは綺麗で日本語も通じ安心でした。
もともとアラモアナ立ち寄りのプランで予約していたので、ホテルのチェックイン時間に合わせたバスが手配されているのかと思いましたが、アラモアナに立ち寄る場合は別途ラウンジでの予約が必要であった。その日は混雑していて18時までバスがなく、予定が少し狂いました。
Every detal covered.
Very friendly smooth sailing. Performers are multi talented and put heart into the shows.
Fun for all ages.
It was all saftey 1st, then a very educational and friendly flight.
Ground staff at "check-in" however could be friendlier...we fliers are investing quite a bit: our futures and our cash.
Smiles cost nothing but can add great value.
The weather was nice, with a blue sky.
Smaller than the ship I imagined.
I took off my flip-flops and boarded.
It was quite rocky, a bit scary.
Suddenly, a whale appeared.
It was a bit far away, but I could see it spouting water.
The captain? The old man brought us drinks, nice!
It was a fun time!
天気は良く、青空。
想像していた船より、小さい。
ビーサンを脱いで、乗船。
なかなかの揺れ、ちと怖い。
突然現れた、クジラ。
ちょっと遠いけど、潮吹き見られた。
船長?のおじさん、飲み物持ってきてくれて、ナイス!
楽しいひと時でした!
We went as a family of four: my husband, grandmother, and our 8-year-old son.
In the morning, we were picked up by a bus from the hotel (Sheraton Waikiki) and arrived in about 30 minutes after getting on the highway.
We chose a plan with unlimited BBQ and drinks, and we also ordered a cabana for our grandmother as an option.
The cabana was located in front of the wave pool, and although she didn't go into the pool, she was happy to watch her grandchildren play from a cool spot.
The BBQ was brought to the cabana, and it was very delicious.
We had a pickup around 3 PM, so our son seemed to want to play a bit more, but I think it was just the right amount of time for the adults.
If we go to Hawaii again, I definitely plan to visit again.
夫婦と祖母、息子(8歳)の4人で行きました。
朝ホテル(シェラトンワイキキ)にバスでお迎えに来てもらい高速に乗って30分くらいで到着しました。
BBQと飲み物は飲み放題のプランで祖母のためにカバナもオプションで頼みました。
カバナは波の出るプールの前で祖母はプールに入らないのですが、プールで遊ぶ孫の姿を涼しいところで見れて喜んでいました。
BBQはカバナまで持ってきてくれて、味もとても美味しかったです。
15時頃に帰りのお迎えなので、息子には少し遊び足りなそうでしたが大人には程よいくらいでよかったかなと思います。
またハワイに行くことがあれば、必ず行くと思います。
It was my first experience surfing, and with the support of the instructors and the lectures, I was able to ride easily! We watched a video at the shop before heading to Waikiki Beach, where we practiced using the boards on the shore, checking safety and confirming the steps. It was a very enjoyable experience!
今回サーフィン初体験だったのですが、レクチャーやインストラクターの方々のサポートもあり簡単に乗ることができました!
レクチャーはショップでビデオを見てからワイキキのビーチに行って浜辺でボードを使って安全確認やステップの確認などをしました。
とても楽しい経験となりました!
Pretty much spent the whole day in the bus. It's not what we thought it was going to be.
I traveled to Hawaii at the end of the year. It was my third time at Wet 'n' Wild, but perhaps due to the Christmas holiday, there was a significant shortage of staff in the park. As a result, the main attractions were not operational. Everyone was concentrated on one ride, leading to considerable wait times. It might be better to avoid this time of year.
年末にハワイ旅行しました。ウェットワイルドは3回目でしたが、年末のクリスマス休暇なのか園内のスタッフの数が圧倒的に不足。そのためメインのアトラクションが稼動せず。ひとつにみんなが集中しているので相当待たされる事態に。この時期は行かない方がいいかもですね。
There is a shuttle service to the hotel where we are staying.
The pilot was Japanese, which made us feel at ease.
Seeing the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the Cessna created unforgettable wonderful memories.
The pilot also served as a guide, making it very enjoyable.
I would like to fly again for special occasions.
宿泊しているホテルまで送迎あり
パイロットのかたは日本人で安心
ハワイの美しい景色をセスナから観て、忘れられない素敵な思い出になりました。
パイロットの方がガイドもしてくれるのでとても楽しいです。
記念日等でまた乗りたいと思いました。
Dear Nagisa,
Thank you very much for visiting Washin Air the other day. We also appreciate your wonderful comments. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your flight. It brings us great joy to have been able to help create lovely memories for you. Thank you for the beautiful photos as well. Please do enjoy "Hawaii from the Sky" with Washin Air again when you visit Hawaii.
nagisa様。先日は、ワシン・エアにお越し頂きまして、誠にありがとうございました。また素晴らしいコメントを頂きまして、ありがとうございます。フライトを楽しんで頂けまして何よりでございます。また素敵な思い出のお手伝いが出来て、私どもも大変うれしいです。素敵な写真もありがとうございます。是非、またハワイにお越しの際には、ワシン・エアで「空からハワイ」をお楽しみくださいませ。
I went horse back riding with my sister not really knowing what to expect. But let me tell you something, it was incredible! Kali, our tour guide, took us through beautiful path ways. It was nice to get out of the city, especially cause I’m from LA, and experience the country side on a horse. The horses were calm and I felt comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend!
It's a simple review, but I had a great time.
Coming to Oahu, this is the perfect activity for families with children.
The transportation included is convenient. Since there was no mention of drinks, it's a good idea to bring your own.
かんたんな感想ですが、とても楽しかったです。
オアフ島に来て、子供連れに最適なアクティビティです。
送迎付きが楽でいいです。飲み物は特に何も言われなかったので、持っていくと良いでしょう。
It started at 10:00 with a private reservation. At 9:00, there were about 10 people. All the employees and drivers were fun people. It's worth going. Tips are needed.
10:00start 貸切だった
9:00は10人ぐらい
従業員運転手みんな楽しい人ばかり
行く価値あり
チップ必要
Warm Welcome
Delicious buffet
Exciting entertainment of traditions of Polynesia
We had a great time snot at Hanauma Bay. We saw a lot of beautiful marine life and enjoyed our time there. Our tour guide was very nice and informative.
Riding while feeling the nature was a valuable experience. The 2-hour course was more than enough to enjoy it. Basically, you control the horse by yourself, but since the horses are trained, they follow the horse in front of them. When they occasionally stray off the path, the ranch staff provides support, which is reassuring. My family, who had only experienced riding with someone pulling the reins, was initially scared, but they soon got used to it and enjoyed themselves. I would like to participate again!
自然を感じながらの乗馬は貴重な経験になりました。2時間コースで十分満喫できました。基本的には1人で馬を操作しますが、馬は調教されているので、前の馬について進んでくれます。時々みち草したりするときは、牧場スタッフがサポートしてくれるので安心です。手綱を引いてもらっての乗馬経験しかなかった家族は最初怖がっていましたが、そのうち慣れて楽しんでいました。また参加したいと思います!
The weather was cloudy, so I wasn't expecting much from the sea, but I was surprised by the clarity of the water, which was clear enough to see the bottom. We were able to see quite a few dolphins. There were about 100 dolphins, and a group of around 20 swam right beneath us, which was amazing. They also provided support for those who couldn't swim, which was reassuring.
There were about 40 people on the experience, and quite a few (about half were Japanese) got seasick. We were fine because we took medication, but by the second half of the activities, half of the Japanese participants were exhausted and resting.
For safety reasons, canoes were accompanied by staff, and the zup was tethered, which was a bit disappointing, but I think it's necessary because the sea can be dangerous.
On the way back, we were able to watch and even dance the hula, which was fun. Since the weather was cloudy, having a jacket or towel during breaks was essential. There were women who were shivering from the cold.
It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit! It helps with the cold, but also protects against jellyfish stings. Even though it wasn't jellyfish season, I unfortunately got stung in several places.
天候は曇りだったので、海期待していなかったですが入ってみたら底が見える程の透明度で驚いた。そしてかなりの数のイルカを見ることができた。
100頭程いての20頭位の群れが自分達の下を泳いでるのには感度しました。
見れない人泳げないに対してのサポートもしてくれたので安心です。
体験には40人程いてかなりの人(日本人5割位)が船酔いしていました。自分達は薬飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、後半のアクティビティでは日本人の半数はグッタリして休んでいました。
安全上カヌーはスタッフ同伴、ザップは紐で固定されていて少し残念でしたが、海は怖いので必要だと思います。
帰りにフラダンスも見れたり一緒に踊ったりできて楽しかったです。
天候が曇りだったので、終わった後や休憩中の上着やタオルは必須です。女性で寒くて震えている人もいました。
ウエットスーツは借りたほうが絶対にいいです!寒さ凌げるのもありますが、クラゲに刺されます。クラゲの時期ではないにも関わらず運悪く何ヶ所も刺されました。
