All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

I didn't have high expectations after reading the reviews, but it was as I anticipated. The tour itself was interesting, but considering the price, even half the cost would still feel a bit high for what it offered. You can see some fish, but there seemed to be fewer than at an aquarium. There weren't many varieties either. I was fortunate to see a sea turtle in the distance. Be careful as I almost got seasick. If you're someone who can't do snorkeling or diving and doesn't mind the price, it might be enjoyable.

クチコミを見て、あまり期待していませんでしたが、想定通りという感じです。
ツアー自体は面白かったのですが 、値段のことを考えると、半額でもちょっと高いかな、というような内容でした。
お魚も見えますが、水族館よりは少ないといった印象。
種類もあまり多くありませんでした。
ウミガメを遠くに見ることができたのは幸いでした 。
船酔いになりそうになったので注意が必要です。
シュノーケルやダイビングなどはできない、という方で、金額を気にされない方であれば、面白いかもしれません。

It was a challenge for a couple celebrating their 60th birthday and their three sons in their 20s. After discussing which height to choose, we decided on the middle option, and the elderly couple felt a bit worried.

The moment we took off, the beautiful sea and blue sky spread out before us, and when we reached the peak, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, making it an unforgettable experience.

Yano, our driver, shared interesting stories that helped ease our nerves. Thank you!

還暦を迎えた夫婦と20代の息子三人での挑戦でした。高さをどれにするか？相談の結果真ん中になり、老夫婦は少し心配でした。
舞い上がった瞬間とても綺麗な海と青空が広がり頂点に達した時は、ワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗で忘れられない体験となりました。
送迎の矢野さんの話もおもしろく和ませて頂きました。ありがとう

I use this service every time, but this time it was a disappointment. It was over 30 minutes late. I arrived two minutes before the scheduled time, but since they didn't come even after 15 minutes, I ended up having to call. I had never experienced being more than 15 minutes late before, so I was even more disappointed. I might consider other options next time.

毎回、利用しているが今回は外れでした。予定時間より30分以上遅れました。
待ち合わせ時間の2分前についていたのですが15分過ぎても来ないので、
結局電話することになりました。15分以上遅れたことは今まで無かったので、
余計にがっかりでした。次は考えるかもしれません。

Excellent personal
Being picked up and transported was great
The whole experience was great.

It was a very safe. We had a really good time! We got some really good pictures! The crew was very knowledgeable about the sharks & their environment! We was concerned about it being safe. We read review & safety records. These Guys stood up to there reputation. They were very professional!

I was looking forward to Sandbar, but at the time close to high tide, the sand wasn't exposed, and it was just a shallow area with splashing. Since it was shallow, there were no fish at all. Well, I did choose to depart a bit later in the morning.

In the afternoon snorkeling, we swam around the coral reef, but the fish were just average to sparse. The water clarity was low, but the coral was magnificent.

The cruise guide, Yumiko, was very enjoyable and considerate, and the hamburger for lunch was delicious, creating a very nice atmosphere.

サンドバー、楽しみにしていましたが、満潮に近い時刻で砂は浮き出ておらず、単なる浅瀬のぱちゃぱちゃでした。浅瀬なので魚も全くおらず。まぁ、午前中ゆっくりめの出発を選んだのは私ですが。

午後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の回りを泳ぎますが、魚影はごくふつうから少なめ。水の透明度は低め。サンゴはみごとでしたが。

クルーズのガイド、ゆみこさんはとても楽しく、気を遣ってくれて、ランチのハンバーガーはおいしくて、雰囲気はとてもよかった。

The meeting place was easy to find, and the driver was very courteous, making the ride very comfortable. When we arrived at the port, a Japanese person explained everything, which made me feel very relieved. It was also reassuring that others could communicate in Japanese.

集合場所も分かりやすく、運転手さんも丁寧に送迎してくれてとても乗り心地良かったです。
港に着くと日本人が説明してくれてとても安心しました。他の人も日本語対応が出来てとても安心です。

I participated with four friends. Three of them are not very good at snorkeling, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.

I joined the sandbar tour about eight years ago, but this time there was no sandy area in sight at all. Being 160 cm tall, the water level was almost up to my waist. It might have been high tide, but it felt just like a regular sea.

Still, I was able to see a lot of sea turtles, which I was very satisfied with. I also felt that it would have been better if there had been an explanation of the snorkeling masks and other equipment on the boat rather than after entering the water.

友人4人で参加しました。3人はシュノーケリングが得意ではありませんが、それなりに満喫しておりました。
サンドバーは8年ほど前に参加してますが、今回は砂地が全くなく見当たらず、160㎝の背の高さの私は、ほぼ腰あたりまで水面が来ていました。満潮だったかもしれませんが、それにしても普通の海としか感じませんでした。
それでも、沢山のウミカメを見ることができました。その点はとても満足しました。
また、海に入ってからではなく、船上で、シュノーケリングマスク等の説明があったらよかったなと感じました。

An awesome way to see some of the beautiful Hawaii! Friendly staff. A great experience.

The driver came to the hotel lobby to pick us up. He only asked for our name and hardly looked at the printed voucher. While it's unlikely to confuse with someone with the same name, I think it's not a good practice.

ドライバーがホテルのロビーまで呼びに来てくれた。当方の名前を聞いただけで、プリントしておいたバウチャーはほとんど見ていない。同姓同名で間違う可能性がないとはいえないので、良くないと思う。

The Toa Luau was a great first luau for our family (30 to 60 year olds). Waimea Valley itself is beautiful; definitely come at least 2 hours early to be able to walk to the waterfall and enjoy the scenery. The pre-luau activities like weaving grass head bands, husking coconuts etc were fun. The show itself was fantastic too - they performed authentic ceremonies and dances from different Polynesian islands. The host was hilarious! Only slight downside was the food was only mediocre. We are all vegetarian and our main entree was bland quinoa; but we were happy there was even a vegetarian option (you have to request ahead of time though). Overall this luau is definitely worth it and we will recommend it to all of our family and friends!!

Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything, but the local captain was full of humor, making it a fun memory. There were no safety issues either.

あいにく何も釣れませんでしたが、
現地人の船長がユーモアたっぷりで
楽しい思い出になりました。
安全性も問題ありませんでした。

I use this service every time.
Clearly, there weren't enough cars for the number of people waiting, and there seemed to be uncertainty in counting the number of passengers, which resulted in quite a few people waiting for a long time.

Since it takes a lot of time to go through immigration, I would like them to arrange the appropriate number of cars to match the number of reservations for the arrival of flights from Japan.

The staff is friendly and pleasant.

毎回利用しています。
待っている人数に対して明らかに車は足りていなかったのと、人数の把握が不確かだったのとで、かなり待たされている人がいました。

入国にすごく時間がかかるので、日本便の到着に合わせて、予約人数に合った数の車を手配して欲しいと思いました。

スタッフはフレンドリーで感じはいいです。

We had 6 people in our party and we had a blast! We caught 2 awesome waves and even saw a turtle swimming with us!! The crew were both very friendly and made this a memory to last forever!

I was given motion sickness medication, and there was a restroom on the boat. It was great to see dolphins swimming right below us and schools of them passing in front of us. However, it was confusing to be dropped off at a snorkeling spot where there was nothing to see, and the photographer was unnaturally energetic, which was a bit annoying. I think a more assertive approach might create good memories for couples. Overall, it was nice to see the dolphins.

酔い止めを渡され、船内にトイレもありました。イルカが真下を泳いでいたり、目の前を通る群れを見れてよかったです。ただ、シュノーケルのスポットは何もいないのに降ろされて意味不明だったのと、カメラマンが常に不自然な程テンションが高くめんどくさかったです。多少強引な方が、カップルさんとかは良い思い出になると思います。内容的にはイルカが見れてよかったです。

We didn't have to wait too long, but we ended up waiting about 30 minutes because it was just full. I wish there had been about two cars parked, so if the timing is right, it would be perfect. By the way, the first one was Hilton Waikiki, and the next was Trump Hotel.

そんなに遅れませんでしたが、丁度いっぱいになったという事で30分程待ちました。2台くらい停まっていて欲しかったなと思うのでタイミングがあえばバッチリです。因みに1番目はヒルトンワイキキで、次がトランプホテルでした。

Everything was amazing! First of all, Mr. Gaito's guidance was very thorough, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The BBQ hamburger was also juicy and incredibly delicious! Above all, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Hawaii! At the sandbar, I took photos right in the middle of the sea and admired the beautiful water. During the sea turtle watching, although they were a bit far away, I encountered two sea turtles. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside a sea turtle! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely love to participate once more!

全てが最高でした！
まず、ガイトさんの案内が非常に丁寧で安心してツアーに参加することが出来ました。BBQハンバーガーも肉汁が溢れてとても美味しかったです！
そして何よりハワイの海を満喫出来ました！サンドバーでは海のど真ん中で写真を撮ったり、綺麗な海を眺めたり。ウミガメウォッチングでは少し遠目ではありましたが、ウミガメ２匹と遭遇。シュノーケリングでは何とウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非もう一度参加したいです！

The transfer from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport to the hotel was cheap and really good. I'll ask again next time I come.

ダニエル・K・イノウエ国際空港からホテルまでの送迎。安くて本当に良いです。又、次回に来たら？お願いします。

I was able to see many dolphins and swim with them! I also saw sea turtles! I will participate again if I have the chance!

沢山のイルカが見れ一緒に、泳ぐことができました！
海亀も見れた〜！！
また機会があれば参加します！

I was worried about the language barrier, but there were no problems at all. The explanations before the flight were easy to understand, and I had a great time! I also took a lot of photos, so it was enjoyable even after returning home. Thank you very much!

言葉の心配ありましたが全く問題なく、飛ぶ前の説明もわかりやすて凄く楽しめました！写真も沢山撮って頂いてたので帰ってからも2度美味しい。ありがとうございました

I'm glad the waiting time at the airport was short. It's also nice that there are only five hotels to choose from. The driver's English was quite fast for me, so I couldn't catch most of it, but it seemed like he was giving a tour, so I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I had been able to speak English.

空港での待ち時間が短くてよかった。
廻るホテルが5箇所以内なのも良い。
ドライバーさんの英語は私にとって容赦なく早かったので、大半聞き取れませんでしたがガイドらしき話をされていたので英語が出来たら尚楽しかったと思います。

Greeter was on time, the lei's were beautiful. Greeter took a picture for us and gave us directions to baggage claim and to the car rental area. Highly recommended.

This tour was amazing. The crew were all super friendly and knowledgeable. The turtles were incredibly close and simply beautiful. Highly recommend this experience!

The timing was accurate, which was reassuring. I used it from the hotel to the airport, but the air conditioning was too strong and made me feel cold. The staff member driving was kind, which was nice.

時間も正確で安心できました。
ホテルから空港まで利用したましたが、エアコンが効きすぎて体が冷えてしまいました。
運転されているスタッフさんが優しい方でよかったです。

The garlic shrimp at Cameron's, recommended by our guide in Haleiwa, was delicious. It was a shame that our stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour due to horseback riding being scheduled afterward, leaving us no time to explore. It seems our time in Haleiwa was shortened because of expected traffic on that weekend.

The horseback riding at Turtle Bay by the sea was very nice. The horse I rode was a bit of a glutton and kept trying to eat grass during the ride, so I had to scold him multiple times to get back on course, which left my arms sore. It turned into a fun memory! Next time, I think I’ll want to explore Haleiwa more leisurely, so I might plan horseback riding for another day.

ハレイワではガイドさんのおススメキャメロンのガーリックシュリンプ美味しかったです。
乗馬がその後の予定だったのでハレイワでの滞在が1時間程で散策する時間が無かったのが残念です。その日は週末のせいか渋滞が予想されたのでハレイワ滞在時間が短縮された様です。
乗馬はタートルベイの海辺でとても良かったです。私が乗った馬は食いしん坊で乗馬中に何度も草を食べに行ってしまい何度も馬を叱ってコースに戻るようにしたので腕が筋肉痛になりまた。笑笑〜楽しい思い出になりました。
次回はゆっくりハレイワを散策したいので乗馬は別の日にしよーかなぁ〜と思ってます。

I participated with my daughter. The staff members were very kind and fun people. We were able to go to places we couldn't reach on our own and met many turtles, even swimming with them! It was a wonderful tour. However... I am very prone to seasickness, and I forgot to bring motion sickness medication to the hotel (tears), so I wasted half of the tour (free time) unable to do anything. I am really disappointed about that. I truly think the tour itself, including the staff, was absolutely amazing! I plan to take revenge next time (^o^)/

娘と二人で参加しました。スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で楽しい方々でした。自力では行けない場所に行け沢山の亀さんにも会え、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来る！とても素晴らしいツアーでした。ただ…私がとても波酔い船酔いしやすいのに、ホテルに酔い止め薬を忘れて（涙）ツアー半分（自由時間）を何も出来ない状態で無駄にしてしまいました。その事が残念でなりません。ツアーは自体はスタッフの方々含め本当に本当に最高だと思います！次回またリベンジするつもりです(^o^)/

The sandbar was beautiful even without the sand. It seems to depend on the weather, so it really is a matter of luck. The staff were very accommodating, and they took photos for us. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were delicious, and I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time without any worries. We scattered bread for the fish, so we got to see a lot of tropical fish, which made for a happy time.

サンドバーは砂が出ていなくても色が綺麗でした。お天気によるそうなので、これは本当に運です。
スタッフの対応がとても良くて、写真も撮ってもらいました。
船で焼いてくれるハンバーガーも美味しかったし、生まれて初めての
シュノーケリングも何も心配なく楽しめました。餌のパンを撒くので
とてもたくさんの熱帯魚に会えて、幸せな時間でした。

The bus was comfortable and spacious. I thought they would come to pick me up at the hotel lobby, so I waited leisurely, but the bus was waiting on the street outside, so I might have kept them waiting. Thank you again.

ゆったりのバスで快適でした。ホテルのロビーまでお迎えに来るのかと思って余裕で待ってたら、外の通りでバスが待っていたので、お待たせしてしまったのかも知れません。またよろしくお願いいたします。

I was very relieved to be picked up one minute earlier than the scheduled time❣ The hotel staff helped carry our bags to the bus, and after that, the driver effortlessly loaded everything.

At the airport, we were able to unload our luggage at each respective airline counter.
Thank you very much. m(_ _)m

指定時間より1分早いお迎えに大安心❣
ホテルの方々バス迄運んで下さり…その後はドライバーさんが、軽々と積み込み完了。

空港では、それぞれの利用航空カウンターで荷物を降ろして頂きました。
m(_ _)mありがとうございました。

July 1, 2019 - Raymond was the best guide ever! He's very chill and easy to communicate with. He was very accommodating! we choose the later tour which I expected it to be much worse than the earlier scheduled tour, however we ended up being extremely lucky and it ended up being just me and my girlfriend. We had our own private tour with the best guide they had to offer! I would recommend this trip to everyone, very family friendly but also a nice thing to do for couples. My girlfriend really wanted to see some Green sea turtles and Raymond was able to make it happen! Once he spotted one, he immediately alerted us to come view the turtles. Definitely something to put in your books if you plan on heading down to Oahu. One thing to keep in mind is ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN...ITS ALWAYS worth it.
