Oahu
We saved the best for last. We are a family of 4, mom, dad and 2 - 13 years olds. We had a fantastic time!! So much fun and great guides! The ranch is beautiful. You can ride horses, bus tour, atv or utv tours to take. We did the utv. It sits 5. Our sons wanted to drive at s but they are not old enough. They still loved it! Its where alot of great movies were filmed like Lost, jurasic park. Will recommand to everyone!!! And many more. They have a food availble too.
Best way to finish our great hawaii trip.
It was a great experience, we all loved it. Keola, our guide, was awesome and made the experience even better. He had a great sense of humor and was super knowledgeable, making the ride even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking to have a fun time.
My wife, myself and a busload of Honolulu visitors had a wonderful time seeing all the interesting and exciting sights on Oahu!
I experienced a 2-hour horseback riding course. There were Japanese staff members, which made everything smooth! Although there was some waiting time, I felt reassured because I could watch a Japanese explanation video before riding. Aside from getting caught in a downpour, it was really great! I was soaked, and it felt a bit like saying goodbye just like that, which was a little disappointing. The scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun!
2時間コースの乗馬を体験しました。日本人従業員もいらっしゃり、スムーズでした!
待ち時間はありましたが、日本語の説明動画も見て乗馬することができたので安心!
途中でスコールに合うこと以外は本当によかった!
びしょびしょで、、、そのままはいさようならって感じだったのがちょっと、、って感じではありました。
景色も良くたのしかったです!
Both the driver and the guide were very pleasant people, and I was able to participate in the tour comfortably! The journey to Manoa Falls was filled with beautiful greenery, and I was impressed to find such a natural forest just 15 to 20 minutes from Waikiki. I heard that the water flow of the falls is amazing during the rainy season, so I would like to see that as well. The path was muddy after the rain, but it was manageable even for elementary school students. The lunch at Kapiolani Park at the end also became a wonderful memory. Thank you!
ドライバーさんもガイドさんもとても感じの良い人達で、気持ち良くツアーに参加出来ました!
マノア滝までの道のりも緑がとても綺麗で、ワイキキから15〜20分の距離にこんな自然の森がある事に感動しました。
雨季に来ると滝の水量がすごいと聞いたので、それもまた見てみたいなと思いました。雨が降った後で道がぬかるんでいましたが、小学生でも大丈夫でした。
最後のカピオラニ公園でのランチも素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました!
I probably never leave reviews but Dan's hospitality and wonderful experience makes first time snorkelers so easy anf fun!
It took a while for the usher to find our seat which seems to me that they didn't have assigned seats. I suggest getting assigned seats so this kind of incident will not happen again.
The actual shows were pretty short. It would be nice to extend it a little
I participated with my child. I was relieved that there was an explanation in Japanese. Since the purpose was to tour movie filming locations, the guide was also very engaging, and my child, who was hot and tired, was very satisfied. Thank you very much.
子供と参加。日本語説明があり、安心しました。
映画撮影場所巡りが、目的だったので、
ガイドさんも盛り上げ上手で
暑くて疲れていた子供も大満足。
ありがとうございました。
Great crew! Wonderful service and a very nice cruise.
When we arrived at the port and got off the shuttle bus, a veteran staff member, who apparently was in charge of middle school groups, abruptly announced that he would be switching places with the guide in charge of university groups. This surprised guide B, who was in charge of the university group. This staff member, although Japanese, has been in Hawaii for so long that he seems to have lost touch with the sensibilities of Japanese travelers, making him come off as annoying to those visiting from Japan.
Because of the sudden change in responsibility, the questions we had from the bus were not passed on, and despite having communicated that we were not confident swimmers, we were left unattended. It was mentioned that there would be souvenirs, but neither adults nor children received anything. We opted for the package that included snorkeling, SUP, and canoeing, but it only lasted about 20 minutes. At this rate, we might as well have gone with the middle school option. The difference in price was wasted.
We did see dolphins, but that was just due to good timing and not because of this company. Next time, I will choose a different tour company.
港に着いて送迎バスを降りたらいきなり中学担当だったらしいベテランスタッフAが、大学担当のガイドと入れ替わると言い放った。
これには大学担当のガイドBもビックリしていました。
このA、日本人だけど長年ハワイにいて日本人の感覚が麻痺しちゃってるのか、日本から来た旅行者にはウザく感じる。
急に担当変更するから、バスの中での質問事項が引き継がれておらず、泳ぎに自信がないと伝えていたのに放置。
お土産付きとあったが大人も子供も貰えず。
シュノーケル.SUP.カヌー付きにしたのに合わせて20分程度で終了。これなら中学でよかった。中学との差額が無駄だった。
イルカには会えたけどそれはこの会社のお陰ではなく、タイミングが良かっただけであって、次回は他のツアー会社を選びます。
It was a great experience that both children and adults could enjoy. The staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere for all participants. The view of Waikiki from the ocean is also wonderful. However, it was disappointing that the start time was delayed by 30 minutes because I had to call after 10 minutes of waiting for the pickup, and it ended up being about 20 minutes late. The boat sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some anti-nausea medication.
子供も大人も楽しめる良い体験でした。スタッフも陽気に盛り上げてくれて、参加者みんなで楽しく過ごせました。沖からみるワイキキの風景もステキです。 迎えが来なくて予定から10分後には電話をかけ、最終的に20分ほど遅れたため開始が30分ずれでしまったのが残念ポイントです。結構ボートが揺れるので酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須ですね。
Hanauma Bay snorkeling was guided in Japanese, so I was able to experience it with peace of mind from departure to arrival, and the half day flew by. It was great to hear various stories about sightseeing spots during the car ride as well. Although I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for during snorkeling, the guide was always attentive to the course and the participants' conditions, ensuring we could see various fish. I would like to try again for the sea turtles.
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングは日本語ガイドさんでしたので、出発から
到着まで安心して体験できたので半日があっという間でした。
車中でも観光名所などいろいろな話も聞けて良かったです。
シュノーケリングでは、期待していたウミガメには会えませんでしたが
様々な魚を見れるようコースや参加者の体調を常に気遣ってくれていました。
ウミガメ再度挑戦したいなと思います。
Dear Yoshi, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers last year. I’m sorry we couldn’t find any sea turtles for you. I will do my best to show them to you next time, so please come back again. We are always waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ヨッシー様、昨年はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
残念ながらウミガメさんを見つけてあげられず、ごめんなさいね。ぜひ次回こそはお見せできるよう頑張りますので、またお越し下さい。
いつでもお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
This was a surprise for my girlfriends birthday and she loved it! We saw so many of sharks! We had done one of the other shark dive without a cage on a smaller boat and did not have the greatest experience.(she got seasick, swimming in strong current, only saw one shark, un-attentive crew...) This experience was the complete opposite. The shark cage makes it so easy to relax in the water and just watch the sharks. Not fighting against the current for this type of experience really makes a huge difference. And you are never worried about what is behind you! The boat itself made a big difference as well. It is an extremely stable power catamaran and is one of the smoothest riding boats i have been on. The captain and crew are one of the friendliest I have encountered. They make sure you are taken care of and happy to share their knowledge of literally everything you can see out on the water and on the island.
I participated in the 150m. Depending on the number of participants, it takes about an hour and a half to two hours, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. It seemed like there were no restrooms on site, so it's better to take care of that beforehand. The parasailing experience itself is wonderful. The staff were Americans, and they were all very cheerful, which made it enjoyable.
150mに参加しました。1回の参加人数にもよるでしょうが1時間半~2時間ぐらいかかるので、船の酔い止め薬は飲んでいた方が無難です。現地にトイレがないように思いました。トイレは済ませておいた方がいいです。パラセーリング自体は素晴らしい体験です。スタッフは米国人でしたが、非常に明るい人たちばかりで楽しめました。
They picked me up about three hours before departure. It was great that the pickup was right in front of the hotel. The pickup was on time, and we arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare, which allowed me to go about my activities at the airport without rushing.
出発3時間前ぐらいに迎えに来てくれました。
ホテル正面の迎えでよかったです。
時間通りの迎えで、時間の余裕を見ての空港到着だったので空港での行動が急ぐことなくできたのでよかったです。
Before switching to the submarine, the boat we were on had sea turtles approaching, so we were able to see the turtles up close, and the children were very happy.
潜水艦に乗りかえる前に乗る船には、海亀が近づいてくるので間近で亀を見ることも出来て、子供達も大変喜んでいました。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your submarine ride experience. We are glad you enjoyed exploring with us. Please join us again soon for another underwater adventure! Mahalo!
アロハ!潜水艦の乗車体験を共有していただきありがとうございます。私たちと一緒に探索して楽しんでいただけたことをうれしく思います。すぐに別の海中アドベンチャーにご参加ください!マハロ!
Thinking we might get seasick, our whole family took motion sickness medication before boarding. It was me, my husband, our fifth-grade son, and our preschool daughter.
During the trip, when the boat rocked violently, the kids sat at the front, getting splashed with water alongside a foreign family’s children, and they all enjoyed themselves, screaming with excitement.
Even though we couldn't communicate verbally, the joy was universal. While some people looked green from seasickness, our family was very satisfied as we enjoyed the blue sea, the splashes of water, and the view of Waikiki from the ocean until the very end.
Time flew by in what felt like an instant.
酔うと思い、家族全員酔い止め服用の上で乗船しました。私と夫と小5兄、年少妹の4人です。
途中激しく揺られる所は子供達は船前方の水しぶきが当たるところに外国人家族のお子さんと一緒に座り、一緒にキャーキャー声を上げて楽しんでいました。
言葉は通じなくとも楽しいことは世界共通でした。
中には船酔いでグロッキーな表情の人もいる中、私たち家族は最後まで青い海と水しぶきと海から見るワイキキの街並みを楽しむことができて大満足でした。
時間もあっという間に感じます。
When we were riding horses, the four of us were quite excited. However, by the time we finished riding and returned, everyone seemed tired. My father and husband, who just turned 70, got off the horse saying their knees hurt and walked in a rather strange way. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my nephew simply said they were sleepy.
As I listened to them, it seemed they felt sleepy because they were walking at the same pace through similar scenery. Additionally, the uncles were in the same position and at the same pace, which seemed to have taken a toll on their legs and back. They mentioned that the horseback riding experience on the Big Island of Hawaii was better. What a shame...
馬乗った時は興奮気味の4人でした。
しかし、乗馬が終わり戻ってきた時には、みんな疲れている感じでした。
70歳を迎えた父と夫は、膝が痛い!といいながら馬からおりてなんか不思議な歩き方を。
9歳と10歳の娘と甥っ子は、眠かった、、と一言。
話を聞いていると、同じような景色ばかりの中を同じペースでパカパカ歩くので、眠かったようです。また、おじさんたちは同じ姿勢で同じペースで、、ということで足腰にきていたようです。
以前体験した、ハワイ島の乗馬の方がいいわ、、ということでした。
残念。。。
レビューありがとうございます。
Thank you for a review
Since my youngest daughter, who is 3 years old, also wanted to experience horseback riding like her older sister, I assumed it would be a pony riding experience and made the reservation. However, among the horses lined up for the riding experience, there were no ponies. I thought they might be preparing them, but instead, everyone was riding horses of similar size... Let's ride!!
After the experience, we got to brush the horse's fur and feed them, and that was the end of it. It seems like she had a lot of fun.
乗馬体験同じように、下の娘3歳も体験したいとのことだったので、ポニー乗馬体験、 と思い込んで申し込み。
乗馬体験の馬が並んでいる中に、ポニーがいない。今から準備かな?と思っていたら、みんな同じような大きさの馬に…Let's riding!!
体験後は、くしで馬の毛をとかしてもらい、エサを与えさせてもらい、終了でした。
とても楽しかったみたいです。
私たちはあなたが楽しい時間を過ごしたことをとても嬉しく思います。またお越しください。
We are so glad you enjoyed your time Please come again.
We participated as a family of four with two children in the upper grades of elementary school. The forecast was cloudy, but it was mostly sunny with calm waves. After gathering by bus from each hotel, we boarded the boat at the port, splitting into a Japanese-speaking guide's boat and an English-speaking (foreign) boat. The explanations were clear, and the guide was lively and fun. At the sandbar, they were knowledgeable about taking photos, providing advice on angles and poses, and we got to take many shots! We saw plenty of sea turtles as well. The snorkeling was a bit murky, possibly due to the tide being high, but we could still see fish. On the way back, we could ride the bus even in wet swimsuits if we had a towel, but it was cold inside the bus, so I wish I had brought dry clothes. The lunch was also quite delicious! The sandbar was beautiful, and we were very satisfied!
小学生高学年2人の子供と家族4人で参加。曇り予報でしたが、殆ど晴れで波も穏やか。各ホテルからバスで集まると、港で、日本語ガイドさんの船と、英語の船(外人)に分かれて乗船。説明もわかりやすく、ノリもよく楽しいガイドさん。サンドバーでは、写真の撮り方熟知しており、方向やポーズのアドバイスあり、何ショットもとってもらえました!海亀もこれでもかってほど見ました。シュノーケルは、潮が満ちていたせいか、やや濁りぎみでもまぁ魚は見えました。帰りは、濡れた水着でもタオルひけばバスに乗れますが、バス内が寒いので、乾いた服をもっていけばよかったかな。昼ごはんもかなり美味しかった!サンドバーきれいだったし、大満足!
The return shuttle I used during my last trip to Hawaii was the type where you gather at nearby large hotels like Hyatt and Sheraton to get picked up. This time, I stayed at a condominium just off Kalakaua Avenue, but Roberts Hawaii came right to the entrance to pick us up.
Even though Waikiki is crowded with tourists, it can be quite challenging to move around with large luggage, so I really appreciated this service. On the return trip, there were no other Japanese passengers besides us, but they were well aware of each passenger's airline, making the drop-off smooth.
前回の渡ハの際に利用した復路シャトルは、ハイアットやシェラトンなど近くの大きなホテルに集合して載せてもらうタイプでした。
今回はカラカウア通りから一本入ったコンドミニアムに宿泊しましたが、ロバーツハワイはしっかりエントランス前までお迎えに来てくれました。
観光客の多いワイキキといえど、
大きな荷物を持って移動するのは大変なのでこの対応には助かりました。
復路は日本人の乗客は私たち以外にいませんでしたが、各自のエアラインもしっかり把握してくれているので降りる際もスムーズでした。
We arrived with six people. The staff were locals, and although each of us had one suitcase, they loaded them carefully. The counter at the boarding area is a bit difficult to find, but if you go to the area where the counters are gathered and ask someone, they will help you.
到着時6人で利用しました。スタッフは現地の方ですが、各自一つずつスーツケースがありましたが、丁寧に積み込みしてくださいました。
乗り場のカウンターがやや分かりにくいですが、カウンターが集まるエリアに行って誰かに聞けば教えてもらえます。
This was my fifth time in Hawaii, and I no longer travel on tours. I used it for transportation within Waikiki. It might be possible to go cheaper, but the announcements were clear and helpful. It's necessary to check in advance if there is a shuttle to your hotel.
ハワイは5回目でもうツアーでの旅行はしなくなりました。その時にワイキキ内までの移動に使いました。もっと安くで行けるのかもしれませんがアナウンスもわかりやすくてよかったです。事前に自分の泊まるホテルへの送迎があるか確認が必要です。
I participated in the movie location tour, jungle experience tour, and Taste of Farm tour. I signed up mainly for the movie location tour, so I learned about the other tours and details on the day, but there was no confusion, and I was able to participate with explanations in Japanese for everything.
I recommend sitting on the right side of the bus for the movie location tour, as most of the sights are concentrated on that side. I joined to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, and in that regard, I found the jungle tour to be more fulfilling and enjoyable than the location tour. The jungle tour was exciting, and I think those with strong hearts will really enjoy it.
The lunch buffet was included, but honestly, the quality was lacking, and I was concerned about hygiene. There were a lot of flies in the dining area, so I think it's better to eat on the terrace. However, aside from the buffet, there were only places like a café terrace for dining, so it seems better to include the buffet to enjoy a longer meal.
The afternoon Taste of Farm tour wasn't very interesting, but overall, I think it was a very fulfilling tour. I didn't participate in horseback riding, buggies, or zip-lining this time, but they looked really fun to watch. If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to experience those activities.
This time, I was picked up near Ala Moana Center, which was very convenient. It was only after going that I realized how difficult it would be to go on my own. Joining the tour is definitely the way to go, and after arriving, the Japanese staff kindly explained the schedule, which was reassuring.
映画ロケ地ツアー、ジャングル体験ツアー、テイストオブファームツアーに参加しました。
映画ロケ地ツアーを目当てに申し込んだので、それ以外のツアーや詳細は当日知りましたが、混乱もなく、全て日本語の説明付きで参加することができました。
映画ロケ地ツアーは、バスの右手側に座ることをオススメします。(バスの右手側ばかりに見たいものが集中しているため)
ジュラシックパーク、ジュラシックワールドのロケ地を見たくて参加したのですが、その点で言えば、ロケ地ツアーより、ジャングルツアーの方が充実していて楽しかったです。ジャングルのツアーは走行もエキサイティングで、心臓の強い方はとても楽しめると思います。
ランチバイキングがついていましたが、正直内容はイマイチで衛生面も気になりました。食堂内は物凄くハエがうるさいので、テラスで食事された方がいいと思います。ただ、バイキング以外はカフェテラス??的なところしか食事場所がないので、バイキングをつけておいた方が長く楽しむには良いように思いました。
午後のテイスト〜ツアーは、あまり面白くなかったですが、全体を通して、とても充実したツアーだったと思います。
今回は乗馬やバギー、ジップラインに参加しませんでしたが、乗馬やバギーは見ていて本当に楽しそうでした。次行く機会があればそちらを体験したいです。
今回はアラモアナセンター付近で送迎してもらい、とても便利でした。行ってみて初めて、これは自力で行くのはあまりに難儀、と思いました。ツアーに参加されるのが間違いないですし、到着後も日本人スタッフさんが丁寧に日程説明してくださり安心です。
Since it was a lodging not listed on the list, I was dropped off at a nearby hotel. The driver was very polite and properly informed us about the pickup location and time for the return. They used a microphone to get everyone excited, but it was hard to hear, and it felt like all the passengers were being forced to say "YAY."
リストに載っていない宿泊先だったので、近くのホテルで降ろしてもらいました。
きちんと帰りのピックアップ場所や時間まで教えてくれて、丁寧なドライバーさんでした。
マイク使って盛り上げてくれていましたが聞こえずらいし、同乗者全員無理やりYAYさせられてる感がありました。
I used it on the way there, and they properly informed me of the pickup time and location for the return trip when I got off. The driving was not rough and was safe.
行きでも利用し、降りるときに帰りのピックアップ時間・場所までちゃんと教えてもらえました。
荒い運転でもなく安全でした。
I was worried about seasickness, but the weather on the day was nice, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. My family was also very happy, and it became a great memory.
船酔いを心配しましたが、当日の天候もよく楽しむことが出来ました。家族も非常に喜んでおり、いい想い出となりました。
It was a wonderful two hours! If you've ever ridden a horse, I highly recommend the two-hour ocean and mountain course! If it's your very first time, you might be too scared and nervous to enjoy the scenery, but if you have some experience, this is the best recommendation on Oahu. Definitely give it a try!
素晴らしい二時間でした❗馬に一度でも乗ったこと有る方なら迷わず二時間海山コースにしてください❗全く初めてなら、怖さと緊張で景色を見る余裕が無いかもですけど、乗ったこと有るからならオアフ島では一番のお勧めです。是非是非経験して下さい❗
This was my fourth time surfing in Hawaii. This time, I participated in this school for the first time. Previously, I had private lessons at a different school, but this time it was a group of over ten people. Although the lessons were in English, when I arrived, there was a teacher who looked like a local but spoke fluent Japanese, which was very reassuring. Before we started, they encouraged us a lot, making it easy to participate even for first-timers or those coming alone. First, we borrowed marine shoes, watched a video, and then headed to the ocean. After some training on land, we entered the water. In addition to the Japanese-speaking teacher, two other instructors joined us. Our group included participants from Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the United States, so we communicated in English. Since I had surfed a few times before, I was able to stand up from the beginning and had a lot of fun riding the waves in the beautiful, shallow sea. However, unlike private lessons, when I paddled back to the instructor, I had to wait for other students to catch their waves, which took some time before it was my turn again. I think beginners will enjoy it, but those with some experience might find it a bit lacking. That said, waiting for waves while chatting with the instructors and other students was enjoyable. I believe this is a plan that allows even first-timers to relax and have fun.
ハワイで4度目のサーフィンでした。今回始めてこちらのスクールに参加させていただきました。前回までは違うスクールで、プライベートレッスンだったのですが今回は10人以上のグループでした。英語でのレッスンとのことでしたが、到着すると見た目はバリバリ現地の方なのに、日本語がペラペラな先生がいらっしゃりとても心強かったです。始まる前にたくさん声をかけてくださり、初めてでも1人での参加でも、安心して参加できます。まずはマリンシューズを借りて、ビデオをみて、海まで向かいます。陸でのトレーニングをしてから海に入りました。日本語を話せる先生の他に2名先生が一緒に入ってくださいました。今回のグループには日本、韓国、オーストラリア、アメリカの方が一緒に参加していたので英語でのコミュニケーションでした。私は何度かサーフィンをしたことがあったので、初めから立つことができ、遠浅の綺麗な海で波乗りができとても楽しむことができました。ただ、やはりプライベートレッスンとは違いパドルで先生のところに戻っていっても他の生徒さんの波待ちの時間があり、自分の番まで回ってくるのに時間がかかります。初めての方は楽しめると思いますが、何度か経験されている方には少し物足りないかもしれません。とはいえ、和気あいあいと先生、生徒さんたちともお話をしながらの波待ちは楽しかったです。初めての方でも安心して楽しむことができるプランだと思います。
I was relieved that they arrived right on time for the pickup! We visited a few hotels before heading to the airport, but it was a good thing that the transfer was done with plenty of time to spare. The driver only spoke English, so we were a bit confused with the explanations since we were planning to take a domestic flight to Kona.
ピックアップ時間丁度に来てくれて安心しました!いくつかホテルをまわって空港に向かいましたが、余裕をもっての送迎だったので良かったです。ドライバーさんは英語only なので、国内線でコナへ向かう予定だった私たちは説明に少し戸惑いました。
