Oahu
I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.
チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。
Wind and cold weather measures are necessary. I don't think it's a problem if you can't speak English. You need to actively ask the driver for rental items other than your reservation when you get off
風と低温対策は必要。英語は話せなくても問題無いと思います。予約意外のレンタル品は降車時にドライバーに積極的に声を掛けないと借りれませんので、ライフジャケットなどお気をつけ下さい。
I was nervous because the shuttle bus didn't arrive on time, but I was able to relax on the spacious bus. Once we arrived, the staff provided explanations in Japanese and advised us to secure our spots early. Since it was a Sunday, it was fairly crowded, and some slides had lines of nearly 30 minutes. Perhaps because the lazy river was out of service, the wave pool was quite crowded, and it was difficult to secure a float. I was satisfied to experience slides that are not commonly found in Japan, but I wish I had a bit more time to stay.
迎えのバスが時間になっても来なくてドキドキしましたが、大きなバスでゆったり向かうことができました。
現地では、日本語でスタッフの方からの説明があり、先に場所を確保しておいた方がいいこと等、教えていただけました。
日曜日だったこともあり、まぁまぁ混んでいてスライダー等は30分近く並ぶものもありました。流れるプールが運休だったこともあってか、波のプールは人が多くて浮き輪を確保するのに苦労しました。
日本ではなかなかないサイズのスライダーを体験できて満足ですが、もう少し滞在時間があればよかったなと思います。
It was summer, but it was cold when I got out of the water, so it's better to have a jacket. The lockers are a bit small.
夏でしたが水から出ると寒かったので、上着はあった方がよいです。
ロッカーは小さめです。
It was my first time on a Segway, but they taught me how to ride it carefully, and I had a really fun experience. I'm glad I signed up. I want to ride again!
初めてのセグウェイでしたが、乗り方を丁寧に教えて頂き、とっても楽しく体験することが出来ました。
申し込んで良かったです。また乗りたい〜
It would be nice to have long sleeves or arm covers since my arms get sunburned.
腕が日焼けするので、長袖かアームカバーがあるといいです。
Laka was fun and entertaining and he made us all feel like family. Fantastic tour guide, exceptional at sharing his amazing aloha spirit. We were blessed to be with him.
Our guide, Mike, was knowledge and the tour gave us the opportunity to fit everything in on our checklist.
Bring your swimsuit, snacks, and drinks.
In 2011, it was called Hawaiian Water Adventure Park. The name has changed, and the slides have been renewed, making it quite enjoyable even as an adult.
It was a Saturday during the summer vacation season in America, but it wasn't too crowded, and I only had to wait about 15 minutes for any slide, which was comfortable. One reason I was able to enjoy my time was because I had a drink-all-you-can voucher. With the pool, the heat, and the strong sunlight, I was really thirsty, but since I could keep hydrating, I was able to avoid heatstroke and have fun.
Since it opened at 10:30, I took an Uber from Waikiki via the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. As there were two adults, we left around 4 PM, did about three hours of shopping at Waikele, and then called another Uber to go home.
Having visited Hawaii multiple times, I think if you have a general sense of the area and know what you want to do and where you want to go, you could easily spend a day here and still have enough time. However, if you're on a tight schedule with just three nights and five days, unfortunately, I can't recommend it. But it’s really fun, and since there are slides you can't experience in Japan, I definitely suggest it for those who have some extra time!
2011年?当時はハワイアンウォーターアドベンチャーパークという名前でした。名前が変わり、スライダー類もリニューアルされていて大人になった今もかなり楽しめました。
土曜日かつアメリカは夏休みシーズンでしたが、そこまで混雑しておらずどのスライダーも並んでも15分ほどで快適でした。
ドリンク飲み放題のバウチャーだったことがかなり快適に過ごせた理由の一つかと思います。プール、暑い、日差しが強いなのでとにかく喉が乾くのですが飲み放題なのでどんどん水分補給出来たことで熱中症にもならず楽しめました。
10時半オープンのためワイキキからカカアコのファーマーズマーケット経由でuberに乗り、大人2人だったため16時過ぎに退散、ワイケレで3時間ほどショッピングして再度uberを呼んで帰りました。
ハワイに何度も訪れていてなんとなくの土地勘や、やりたいこと行きたい場所が決まっていれば1日ここで遊んでも時間が足りると思いますが、3泊5日でとにかく時間が無い時は残念ながらおすすめできません。。が、本当に楽しいですし、日本では体験できないスライダーばかりなのでお日にちに余裕がある方はぜひ♡
It’s a good idea to check the hours of operation in advance. It’s best to confirm through the official website. (I mistakenly thought it was open until 3 PM every day based on another site.)
事前に営業時間は調べていた方が良いかと。。
公式サイトから確認していただくのが確実です。(私は他のサイトで全日15時までだと思い込んでました)
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We not only got to see some amazing views we were treated to local legends and learned about the culture. Saw several recognizable, iconic scenes/props from some of our favorite movies.
We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.
During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.
大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。
ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました!
また行く機会があったら参加したいです。
I was able to use it with peace of mind, without any trouble. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.
特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
天国の海でまたお会いできる日をウミガメともにお待ちしております。A hui hou!
So glad we did this. Experienced and knowledgeable crew. Had a great time!
Starting with Hawaiian music and dance from the 1920s, and moving through the historic concerts in Hawaii featuring Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s, you can enjoy a performance filled with song and dance. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in promotional photos, as they are likely double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.
1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。
There are set tickets that include meals, but I personally recommend purchasing just the show tickets, as it allows you to choose your meals freely.
食事付きのセットチケットもありますが、ショーチケットだけ購入して観覧するほうが、自由に食事を選べるので個人的にはおすすめです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Show with your spouse. We are all very pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the overall entertainment. We also appreciate your positive and detailed review along with the photos. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ショーにご夫婦でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エンターテインメント全体に的にご満足された様子でスタッフ一同大変嬉しく思っております。今回のポジティブで詳細な口コミとお写真も有難うございました。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。
The pre-lecture was quite simplified with gestures and such. However, the captain and everyone else on board were all nice guys and very reliable. We went out to sea about three times to catch some waves, and on the second time, we managed to ride a pretty big wave, which was really exciting. It lasted about 25 minutes, but based on the waves we caught, it felt like it could have gone on a bit longer.
事前のレクチャーは、ジェスチャーなどで、かなり簡略化しています。
ただ船長はじめ、一緒に乗ってくれる方々は、みなナイスガイでとても頼もしいです。
波をつかまえに、3回ほど、沖の方へいき、2回目にかなり大きな波に乗れ、かなーり盛り上がりました。
だいたい25分くらいで、終了でしたが、乗れた波の感じで、時間はもう少し長くなるのかな?って感じです。
It might be quite rare, but my partner and I got completely soaked because of the water balloon fight. However, there are free showers nearby. It feels okay to walk around and do a little shopping whi
かなりレアかもですが、水丸かぶりで、私とパートナーはずぶ濡れになりました。
ただ無料シャワーは近くにあります。濡れたまま、あるいて、ちょっと買い物くらいは大丈夫な感じです(笑)
Kojiran: Thank you for the 5-star review! The duration varies depending on the wave conditions, so it can take as little as 20 minutes or more than 30 minutes at times. It also depends on the waiting time for the waves. You will ride the waves three times. Since this is a water activity, please be prepared to get wet when you participate. We look forward to your next visit!
コジラーん様:5つ星の口コミ、ありがとうございます。所要時間は波のコンディションによって異なりますので、短いときは20分、長いときは30分以上かかる時もあります。波の待ち時間で異なります。波に乗るのは3回です。 ウォーターアクティビティーですので、濡れることを覚悟してご参加なさるとよろしいでしょう。またのお越しをお待ちしております。
The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.
As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.
集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車 スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。
If you have some free time, you can experience sensations that are usually unavailable. You can take a bus tour, but since everything is in XR, it's different from just looking at the scenery outside.
スキマ時間にタイミングがあえば普段味わえない感覚が体験できます。
バスで周遊するのですが全てXRなので外の景色を見るのとは違いますから興味のある方は是非体験をと思います。
Greeted with all of the information we needed to check in. Great tour by Mikey. Lots to see and it kept everyone highly entertained. Highly recommend to anyone, the views are breathtaking.
Thank you for teaching me so kindly; I had a lot of fun and time flew by! It was easy to understand because you spoke in Japanese! I want to participate again!
丁寧に教えてくださり、とても楽しくあっというまに時間がなくなりました!日本語で話してくれたので分かりやすかったです!また参加したいです!
Dear Mii: Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us! We look forward to your next visit.
みい様:5つ星の口コミ、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで何よりです!またのお越しをお待ちしております。
The breathtaking view from above was very impressive. The explanations were given very kindly and thoroughly, making for an enjoyable time.
空からみる絶景の景色がとても印象的でした。とても丁寧に優しく説明してくださり楽しい時間になりました。
My child wanted to go horseback riding, and it seemed difficult to do it individually, so we signed up for a tour. There were no problems since a Japanese guide showed us around. We had the experience of riding a horse through magnificent scenery, something we can't do in Japan.
子供が乗馬をしたがり、個人で行くのは難しそうなのでツアーを申し込みました。
現地では日本人ガイドさんが案内してくれたので何も問題なかったです。
雄大な景色の中を馬に乗って散歩するという、日本ではできない経験ができました。
I was a bit anxious about horseback riding in the blazing sun, so I chose the sunset time. It turned out to be a great decision! The breeze was pleasant, and the scenery was truly beautiful.
I met a slightly free-spirited horse. However, the instructor was always nearby, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.
At a spot where the sunset reflected beautifully, I was able to take a lot of pictures (even though I was wearing a helmet... haha), creating wonderful memories.
I am very satisfied with this precious experience in Hawaii.
炎天下での乗馬はちょっと不安だったので、サンセットタイムを選びました。
結果、大正解!風も心地よく、景色が本当に美しかったです。
私が出会ったのは、ちょっぴり自由奔放なお馬さん。
でも、常にインストラクターの方がそばにいてくれて、安心して楽しめました。
夕陽がきれいに映るポイントでは、たくさん写真も撮っていただき、
(ヘルメット姿ですが…笑)素敵な思い出になりました。
ハワイでの貴重な体験ができて大満足です。
Since there is no bus service, I recommend renting a car. It was particularly difficult at night because I couldn't find an Uber.
ザバスが通っていないので、レンタカーをお勧め致します。特に夜はUberが見つからないので、大変でした。
KBOS provided lunch, music, and all the water equipment we needed!
Aloha Sand Bar Fun!!!,
Thank you for joining KBOS sandbar tour. We are glad that you enjoyed our tour very much. Thank you for your 5-star review!
Please join us again.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
Amazing for adults and kids. The bus driver was funny and amazing !!! Thank you so much for the entertainment.
Beautiful
Sunsceen , hat , water .
The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet
Visiting the Punchbowl National Cemetery was a must for my family history, so I was happy to find a tour that has so much inclusion, was a well planned day.
Visiting both the Arizona and Missouri sites gave us a full perspective on all Pearl Harbor scarifies.
Whether you’re a movie buff or just love beautiful landscapes, this tour is perfect for a more relaxed day inside Kualoa :)
Booking the shuttle and ticket together on a tour like this is a smart choice, as it saved my larger time and stress to secure Arizona tix!
Dinner was delicious with a good variety of Hawaiian favorite dishes. We had rear seating, but still had a clear view of the stage and all the action!
Of course everyone told us ahead of time to make sure to stop here, and they were not wrong. What a fabulous type of tour, fun and historical!
The performers at Mauka were truly amazing—especially the thrilling fire knife finale!!
Having a private guide made the tour that much better, such a great location to kayak!
Mahalo for a great review. We are so pleased you had a wonderful time. We hope you tell all your friends about the wonderful memories you made on your trip.
SBS Hawaii
ATVs were easy to drive and in great condition and guides were awesome throughout!
