Oahu
- I arranged round-trip transportation from Sheraton Waikiki, so we will depart at 7 am.
- Even if it's sunny in Waikiki, it can be rainy and chilly when you arrive near Kualoa. (Participated in mid-May)
- Although the guide was supposed to be in English, two out of the three tours had Japanese guides. (There were also a few Japanese guides.)
- I went with small children, but the shuttle bus and the ranch were able to hold our stroller, which was great. (To be precise, at the ranch, we were just allowed to leave the stroller where the staff were sitting, so it felt more like a strong sense of personal responsibility rather than being taken care of.)
- Lunch is a buffet. The air conditioning in the lunch venue was quite strong and cold, but there are terrace seats, so we ate there. (The menu was simple, consisting of vegetable salad, meat dishes, and rice.)
- The vehicles and boats at the ranch can be quite bumpy, so if you're feeling uneasy, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
- There is a diaper changing station in the restroom, which was convenient for those with infants and toddlers.
- Since it's a ranch, there are naturally mosquitoes and flies, and there is quite a strong smell from animal waste.
- After finishing the three tours, we returned to Waikiki around 3:50 pm.
・シェラトンWaikikiからの往復送迎を手配したので、7amには出発します。
・Waikikiは晴れていたとしてもクアロア付近に着くと雨が降っていて、肌寒いことがあります。(5月中旬に参加)
・英語ガイドとなっていますが、3このツアー中2つは日本語ガイドでした。(日本人ガイドも数人いました。)
・小さい子供連れで行きましたが、送迎バスも牧場でもストローラーは預かってもらえたので、良かったです。(厳密に言うと、牧場ではスタッフの座っているところにストローラーを置かせてもらっていただけなので、預かってもらったという感じよりは自己責任感が強いですが)
・昼食はビュッフェです。昼食会場内は冷房が強くて寒いですが、テラス席もあるのでそちらで食べました。(メニューは野菜サラダ、肉料理、ご飯という感じの質素なものです。)
・牧場内での車や船はかなり揺れることがあるので、不安な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
・トイレにはおむつ交換台があるので乳幼児連れには便利でした。
・牧場なので当然ながら、蚊やハエはいますし、動物の排泄物の臭いもかなりします。
・3つのツアーが終わってWaikikiには3:50pmくらいに戻ってきました。
They picked me up according to my arrival time, and the handling of my luggage and the drive to the hotel were satisfactory. I would like to use their services again.
到着の時間に合わせて迎えに来てくれ、荷物の積荷やホテルまでの運転も満足できるものでした。また利用したいです。
Swimming with wild dolphins was AMAZING! We struggled to find spinner dolphins early May 15, but Danielle and the entire crew were patient and determined to spot other types of dolphins. We found spotted dolphins, in deeper waters, which are faster but amazing to see in the wild. The crew including Yogi, Tyler, and a couple others helped our ship of 25 or so passengers stay safe and calm in the water knowing exactly what to do as the dolphins and wild life swam all around us. Making sure the swimmers and dolphins stayed safe was at the forefront of our dive. We relocated to another swim spot to see fish and turtles in shallow waters and we got to play on the slide and use paddle boards the crew provided us with. Jade, the photographer/ videographer, was amazing in capturing our time on the boat and in the water. This crew was fantastic and my fiancé and I would recommend this excursion 10/10 as a MUST DO. The feeling iI got seeing this animals in their natural environment, so willing to let us be close to them , is something I will never forget. We purchase the pictures from Dolphins and You and I can’t wait to get home to upload them!
I wanted to experience it at least once, so I participated with my family. At first, I was nervous, but thanks to the cheerful guide staff, I was able to enjoy it. Even those with a fear of heights will be fine! You don't feel much height, so I highly recommend participating.
一度体験してみたいと思い、家族で参加しました。
最初は、ドキドキでしたが、陽気なガイドスタッフのおかげで楽しむことが出来ました。高所恐怖症な方でも大丈夫! 高さは余り感じないので参加おすすめします。
I was excited to see what kind of big fish I could encounter on my first submarine ride, but unfortunately, I didn't see the large fish I was hoping for. However, I was glad to see what the ocean floor looks like with my own eyes.
生まれて初めての潜水艦に乗船でどんな大きな魚が見れるのか期待をしていたのですが運が悪いのか自分が思ってた大きな魚が見れなかったのが残念でした。でも、海の底がどの様になっているのか見たかったので自分の目で見れた事は良かったです。
It was quite an exciting experience that is not something you can do every day. There were Japanese guides and crew members who spoke Japanese, making it a tour that was understandable even for those who don't speak English.
In my case, there was a temporary interruption due to a malfunction in the submarine's air purifier, but thanks to the courteous support from the staff at Veltra and the local team, I was able to reschedule and continue the experience.
I had a great time. Thank you!
体験事態もなかなかできることじゃないので、わくわくさせてもらいました。そして日本語の案内や、日本語が話せる乗務員さんがいらっしゃって、英語がわからなくても理解できるツアーでした。
自分の場合途中、潜水艦の空気清浄機が故障し、一時中断はしましたが、ベルトラさんや現地の方々の丁寧な対応により、時間変更という形でやり直させていただきました。
とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございます。
I was able to see two turtles! The food was delicious, and I had a great time. If I could have taken more photos, I would have wanted to buy a lot! What a shame.
カメが2匹も見れたよ〜〜
ご飯も美味しかったし、楽しかった٩( ᐛ )و
写真撮ってもらえたのが、やすかったらたくさん買いたかったなぁ!残念
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm glad you were able to see the turtles! I'm also happy to hear that you enjoyed the meal. We all 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。カメが見られてよかったです!!お食事も楽しんで頂いたようで嬉しく思います。 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。
I participated in a double date with four people. Everyone else was foreign. English was the standard language, and I was initially anxious, but they provided the necessary instructions in Japanese.
At the meeting point, a driver with high energy was waiting for us, constantly saying things like "hee-haw." I thought it was unimaginable in Japan that he was chewing something like tobacco while driving and giving instructions.
We boarded the boat and handed over to a handsome young man and the captain. The parasailing started with the white guests in order, and we were last. I love roller coasters, but while taking off it was fun, and during the 10 minutes of floating, there wasn't much movement, which was actually a bit scary. It ended in the blink of an eye, but be careful as you can't go to the bathroom for an hour and a half.
We each paid a tip of $10, but it seemed that some of the white guests didn't tip.
Wデートで4人で参加しました。私達の他は全て外人。英語がスタンダードで初めは不安でしたが必要最低限の注意は日本語でしてくれました。
集合場所にテンション高めで常にヒーハー等と言っているドライバーが迎えに来ました。運転中も案内中も噛みタバコみたいなのを常に噛んでて日本では考えられないなと思いました。
船に乗りイケメンのお兄さんとキャプテンにバトンタッチ。白人から順番にパラセーリングが始まり、私達は一番最後でした。ジェットコースター大好きな私ですが、飛び上がる時は楽しく、浮遊中の10分くらいはあまり動きがなく逆に怖かったです。あっと言う間に終了しましたが、1時間半トイレに行けないので注意です。
チップは1人10ドルづつ払いましたが、白人のお客さんは払っていない人もいたようでした。
Perfect day. Great crew and beautiful weather and location. The snorkeling was awesome had close up encounter with turtles and heaps of fish. Lunch was also great thank you.
This is a lovely intimate look at Hawai five O and a must for super fans like us. Our guide Sean was very knowledgable and the visit to McGarretts house was amazing. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who is a fan of the show.
Choosing the 150m was the right decision! There were rock songs playing on the boat, and the other members were really into it, which was great!
150mを選んで正解でした!
船の上でもロックな曲がかかっていて他のメンバーもノリノリでとっても良かった!!
This year, I requested transportation from the hotel in Waikiki to the airport. The communication was conveyed in simple English, and the transfer went smoothly.
今年も、ワイキキのホテルから空港まで頼みました. 言葉も平易な英語で伝わり、スムーズに移動できました
First time in Hawaii and snorkeling for me; overall, it was a fun experience! Saw lots of colorful fishes and coral. The guide also made it easy to understand and use the equipment - and soon, everyone was snorkeling in no time. The group is small so you don't have to worry about there being too large of a crowd to be able to follow the guide. Great value and experience - highly recommended for anyone who is completely new to snorkeling and Hanauma Bay!
Thank you Vicky, glad you had a good time. You did great. Hope your bus ride back wasn't bad. Dan.
The staff was very help to assist us for the program timing and activity. park was very clean. performer are very talented. buffet was delicious. we have very good time for this trip in Hawaii. Thanks
I participated in the 120m jump that started at 9:00. Since I was staying at the Hilton, I walked to the meeting point. We were the last group of three, and the moment we took off was amazing! It was great to see the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, which we climbed on the day of our arrival, from the sky. My husband, who has a fear of heights, was thrilled and said, "This is something you have to do!" And of course, we ended with the traditional splash into the ocean! They pulled us up right away, but we made quite a splash, and I ended up with a face full of water. If you let the crew know in advance that you don't want to jump, they can accommodate your request.
The crew took photos for us, which can be purchased for $30 on an SD card, and there were lots of great pictures of us having fun. We started on time, and since there were few groups, we wrapped up by 9:30. I considered the 150m jump, but the 120m was plenty high enough. I highly recommend this activity!
9:00スタートの120mに参加しました。ヒルトン滞在だったので歩いて集合場所へ。手際よくスタンバイし 私達は最後の3組目。フワッと飛び立つ瞬間は最高です! ワイキキの街並みや 到着日に登ったダイヤモンドヘッドを空から眺めて 高所恐怖症の主人も大喜び。「これはやるべき!」と言ってました。そして最後はお決まりの海へジャポン!腰くらいまでで直ぐに引き上げてくれますが私達は1番派手に着水、そして勢いも良かったせいか水しぶきで顔が濡れました。クルーに予め「ジャポン無し」など伝えればリクエストに応えてくれるそうです。
クルーが撮ってくれた写真は$30でSDカードに入れてくれ希望購入できます。はしゃいでいるイイ写真が沢山入っていました。
時間通りにスタートでき組数も少なかったせいか9:30には解散です
150mと悩みましたが120mでも十分な高さを感じられます。お勧めのアクティビティです
First, we went to the sandbar where we had about an hour of free time, but unfortunately, it was raining and cold, so we couldn't go into the sea. I recommend bringing a jacket just in case.
After that, we moved on to snorkeling for those who wanted to participate, and this is something you should definitely experience. You can see fish and, if you're lucky, get a close look at sea turtles, which is the highlight of this tour. The guide was friendly and kept the atmosphere lively, and we even saw seals while moving on the boat. It was a lot of fun.
まずサンドバーに行きそこで1時間ほど自由時間がありましたがあいにく雨が降っており寒くて海に入っていることが出来ませんでした。念の為上着を持って行くといいと思います。
その後移動して希望者のみシュノーケリングをしますがこちらは体験した方がいいです。魚や運が良ければ間近でウミガメを見る事ができこのツアーの目玉です。ガイドの方も気さくで盛り上げてくれますしボートで移動中にアザラシを見ることができました。とても楽しかったです。
The course that takes you around movie filming locations had beautiful scenery and was very enjoyable. There were times when the horse didn't listen, so that's something to be cautious about. Also, the weather can change suddenly, and it may rain. Additionally, there may be grass or tree branches that hit your body, so if you're concerned about that, I recommend wearing long sleeves or rain gear.
映画ロケ地を巡るコースは景色も良くとても楽しかったです。
馬がいうことをきかないことがあったのでその点は注意が必要です。
また天気が急に変わり雨が降ることがあります。また草や木の枝が体に当たることがあるので気になる方は長袖やレインウェアをおすすめします。
Unlimited drinks and snacks, and since we couldn't see any whales, we were allowed to repeat the experience for free four times. The staff were all kind and it was the best!
ドリンク飲み放題、お菓子食べ放題、クジラ見れなかったため、4回も無料でリピートさせていただきました。スタッフもみんな親切でさいこうです
In conclusion, I will never use this service again. The driver during my return trip was average. For over ten years, I have directly used Roberts Hawaii, but this time, after about two years, I used it through VELTRA for the first time while in Oahu. The experience upon arrival with Roberts Hawaii and the driver's behavior were completely unreasonable and unacceptable by any standard.
Everything I have written is true and honest. For details about the outbound experience, please refer to that review.
I have been using this service for over ten years, but in the past two years, there have been many changes to Roberts Hawaii regarding round-trip services.
- Arriving in Honolulu in the morning and using the personal exit at the airport → Depending on the time, we had to use the group exit like others.
- We had to wait much longer before departure than before.
- Other than us, there were only non-Japanese users → Only Japanese people.
- The number of drop-off locations was less than five → Now it’s seven or more.
- The vehicle used for the transfer was average → The seats were noticeably torn and dirty.
- The driver was carrying the suitcases → He casually told us to carry them ourselves!
- Normal driving → Rough driving that made it feel like my neck was going to get whiplash.
- Quality of the driver.
結論から言うと、もう二度と利用しない。この帰国時の利用のドライバーは普通だった。この10年以上、直接ロバーツハワイに申し込んで利用してきたが、今回、約2年ぶりにオアフで利用する際に、初めてVELTRA経由で利用した。その際、ロバーツハワイの到着時の体験とドライバーの言動は、あまりにも理不尽で、常識的にも言語道断で決して許されるものではない。
すべて事実であり、正直に記載している。
行きの利用についての詳細は、そちらの体験談を参考にして頂きたい。
10年以上前から利用してきたが、この2年の間に、ロバーツハワイに関し、往復利用で、いくつもサービスなどが変更されている。
・午前ホノルル着で利用し、空港の個人出口
→ 時間により、自分達のように団体出口
・ これまでより、だいぶ出発まで待たされる
・ 自分達以外は、日本人以外の利用者ばかり
→ 日本人のみ
・ 送迎先は5箇所以下 → 7カ所など
・ 送迎に利用する車内は 普通だった→
椅子など 破れや汚れが顕著
・ スーツケースは ドライバーが 運んでいた →
自分達で 運べ!と平然と言い放つ
・ 普通の運転 → 粗暴な運転、首がむちうちになりそうなほど
・ ドライバーの質
We had a great tour with (creepy) Uncle Kevin today on the North Shore of Oahu! We've been touring all around the world and can seriously rank Uncle Kevin as one of the best tour guides. The Surf Bus has the right equipment, the right itinerary and an excellent attitude. The bus was on time at every stage and Kevin had good solid connections at every stage. He took the time to work with each group on tour to insure they had the right experience. Some of the stops had multiple options and he was able to call ahead to report those options to the vendor. Kevin recommended great food and knew how important this is to an all day tour. One unmistakable clue that Kevin really knows what he is doing is that he knew so many of the other folks involved with the tour on a personal level. He's a local. He knew all of the answers because he grew up here.
Great attention to detail makes for a great tour. Uncle Kevin obviously knows what he is doing and we look forward to going on another Oahu tour with him soon. Also, kudos to the bus company. They had the right equipment and marketing to make Kevin's expertise shine.
Thanks to my creepy uncle Kevin from Oahu. Mahalo!
I wanted to experience walking in the ocean, so I participated. I was a bit hesitant because the tide wasn't ideal on the day I could go, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I got to see sea turtles, and the weather was great. When in doubt, it's best to participate! The hamburger was delicious too. The staff were friendly and cheerful, and I was very satisfied.
一度、海の中を歩く経験をしてみたく、参加しました。行ける日が今一の潮の引き加減だったので、悩みましたが、十分楽しめました。ウミガメも見れて、お天気にも恵まれ、やはり、悩んだ時は参加するに限ります!
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。スタッフさん達が綺麗で明るく、とっても満足できました。
My sister and I joined the very friendly staff on a trip in the early mornings. We were only a group of 8. Everyone got a brief introduction and was set up with their gear and life jackets. Fun vacation music playing in the background we headed out into open waters on the speed boat which was so much fun in itself. The view towards the city with Diamond's Head in the background, touched by the rising sun was mesmerising! Can recommend to tag along even if you just want to watch your friend fly & not yourself.
When we were up both staff members explained all you need to know. We noticed with other passengers that even if you don't speak English very well they will go out of their way to show you what to do. But it is very easy. Time to fly! We did the 1000ft and it was the bomb! The view was exhilarating! You can totally hang loose and relax in your gear to enjoy the absolute beauty of a sight.on the way down we had so much fun when we were "dipped" into the water. If you don't want to get wet you can tell the captain beforehand, however we highly suggest you take a refreshing dip into the ocean! On our way back our captain did a few high speed curves and we were all laughing and celebrating this fabulous experience! We did purchase the picture package and when we got home we checked the sd card they give you - All we can say is THANK YOU for this great experience and these pictures are hilarious and captured 100% of the fun we had!
It seems like there are unusual weather conditions everywhere, and it was cold even in May. It's usually much hotter.
So, when entering the sea, it was fine to just wear a swimsuit and then dry off and put on a cover-up when getting back on the boat.
I was grateful to have a warm drink after snorkeling; it was a nice way to relax.
どこでも異常気象のようで、5月でも、寒かったです。毎年はもっと暑い。と、おっしゃってました。
なので、海に入るときは水着だけで入り船に上がった時に体をふいて上着を羽織ると大丈夫でした。
シュノーケリングが終わってから温かい飲み物を頂きほっと出来てありがたかったです。
The pickup time is the same as the flight arrival time. Since there was no time indicated on the voucher, I was a bit worried, but once I exited through the personal exit, the person picking me up was right there! They also took care of two suitcases per person, and everything went smoothly without any issues. It was very convenient! I would like to use this service again next time. ^ - ^
ピックアップ時間は飛行機の到着時間。と、バウチャーに書かれていて、時間の表記が無かったので少し心配でしたが個人用の出口から出たら、お迎えの人がきちんといました!トランクも1人2つ預かってもらえるし、なんの問題もなく大変便利でした!また次も利用したいと思います^ - ^
This is a repeat. They were waiting in front of the hotel a little before the scheduled time. They confirmed the airline at the time of boarding and dropped us off in order, which was reassuring.
リピートです。予定時刻の少し前にはホテルの前で待機してくださっていました。乗車時に利用航空会社を確認して、順番に降ろしてくれるので安心です。
- On time
- Good handling of loading and unloading luggage
- Speeding on the freeway
- I want to know the approximate arrival time.
・時間通り
・荷物の積み降ろし等良く
・フリーウェイでスピード出しすぎ
・大体の到着時刻を知りたい。
This was by far one of the favorite things we have done in Oahu! Everyone was professional. You break up into small groups so our family of 5 was able to do this activity together with our own private guide. He was fabulous and let us work as much as we wanted kayaking and then would pull us when my younger kiddos needed a break. So fun! Pleasant for kayaking and beautiful for snorkeling. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Aloha Dennise,
Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! I'm so glad to hear it sounds like it was a good experience! And thank you also for taking the time to leave such a wonderful and positive review for us. That really means a lot and we appreciate that very much. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
I was picked up for the airport with five other people. Along the way, there were times when no passengers showed up, and someone who hadn't made a reservation asked to get on, which took extra time. By the time we arrived at the airport, there was no time at all for the check-in process. We were two adults and one toddler. I chose this option because it was just a little cheaper, but considering the time, I think it would have been better to go directly by taxi.
5件周りで空港へ送迎されました。
途中、お客がこなかったり
予約していない?人が乗りたいと頼んで
時間掛かけて乗せたりで
空港ついてから登場手続きまで全く時間がありませんでした。

ほんの少しだけ安いこちらにしてしまいましたが

タクシーなどで直接行った方が
良かったなと思います。
The day after our wedding in Hawaii, we took both families, including our parents and grandmothers, to see some activities! We were satisfied with the food, and the main show was enjoyable for both our student cousins and grandmothers. It had a strong element of impersonation and was of high quality.
ハワイ婚で結婚式の次の日のアクティビティとして、両家の親とおばあちゃんいとこたちを連れて見に行きました!
ご飯も満足できましたし、肝心なショーは学生のいとこもおばあちゃんも楽しめる内容でした。ものまねショーの要素が強くクオリティ高かったです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I experienced the 150 meters. As my turn got closer, my fear increased, but once I tried it, it was so much fun. The view overlooking Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was amazing! I would love to challenge myself again if I get the chance.
150メートルを体験しました。
順番が近づくにつれ、恐怖感が増しましたが、いざ体験してみると、すごく楽しかったです。
ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見下ろす景色は最高でした!
機会があればまたチャレンジしてみたいです。
