Oahu
There were surprisingly many participants. Although it wasn't planned, the captain chased after whales and sea turtles when the opportunity arose. The view of the Ko Olina hotels from the sea was incredibly vast. The waves were a bit high, but it was beautiful.
参加者は意外と多かったです。予定には無いけど、ホエールやウミガメも機会があれば、船長の判断で追いかけてくれました。海から見るコオリナのホテル群は、とてつもなく広大でした。ちょっと波が高かったけど、綺麗でしたよ。
Activities depend on the weather, don't they?
アクティビティは天気次第ですもんね。
Having zip lined before, I highly recommend this tour. The transportation to the ranch and a well organized. At the ranch we drove with Stone who gave us a tour of the ranch on the way to the zip line base camp, pointing out filming sites, was a nice add on that I didn’t expect. The zip lining itself was with JT, Ethan, and Aiden and the guys were awesome, specially JT, made us all feel at ease, cracking jokes and making the atmosphere fun, relaxing everyone. Safety is top notch and Ethan and Aiden were awesome helping everyone land at the platforms safely. The little handrail bar that you can hold onto as you zip make it great for a first time experience and the zip lines are also organized in a way that it starts easy and gets more fun, which is a lot better than other zip lines I did that start with the big one right off the bat and then you just get small ones at the end. The overall tour is a couple of hours and lots of fun from beginning to end, can’t recommend enough. And and JT I’m only mentioning you 3 times, if you just landed the shot it would be 6 ;)
Mathew the Shuttle driver was great, provided us with lots of information and recommendations.
I made great memories in the best scenery✨ Thank you😊✨
I found sea turtles while snorkeling 🤿 and filmed them, but they didn't show up well, which was disappointing 😢
However, I was able to see many sea turtles with my own eyes, so it was fun‼️ The spam onigiri was also delicious 🤤
最高の景色の中で、良い思い出が出来ました✨ありがとうございました😊✨
シュノーケル🤿で海亀🐢見つけて、動画撮ったけど、あんまり映ってなくて、残念😢
でも、肉眼でたくさん海亀🐢見れたので、楽しかったです‼️スパムおにぎりも美味しかったです🤤
After going up to the sea, it gets cold, so it would be nice to have a good towel to dry off and something to wear over. 😊
海を上った後が寒いので、しっかり拭くタオルと、羽織る物があれば、いいかな😊
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the 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!
We seniors received hands-on support and were able to enjoy the experience without any injuries. It was my first time, and the first step was scary, but once I took it, it was exhilarating. I was able to enjoy the zip line against the backdrop of the majestic mountains and the beauty of the sea.
Unfortunately, I couldn't communicate well with the instructor and other participants, but we managed to have fun using simple gestures and a few words.
I highly recommend everyone to give it a try!
シニアの我々も手取り足取りサポートをしていただき怪我もなく楽しく回ることができました。初めての経験で、最初の1歩は怖かったけど踏み出してしまえば爽快でした。壮大な山の自然、海の自然をバックにジップラインが堪能できました。
残念ながらインストラクタ及び参加者の方とのコミュニケーションがとれず、しかし片言の身振り手振り単語で意思疎通を図り楽しく回れました。
是非皆さんも参加してみてはいかがでしょうか!!
Even if there is a language barrier, you can manage to get by through communication with the instructor's gestures.
言葉が通じなくてもインストラクタのジェスチャーによるコミュニケーションでなんとかん乗り越えられます。
Not only the activities, but we also stopped by Leonard's on the way back!
The guide was great too. We saw a lot of turtles.
アクティビティだけでなく、帰りにレナーズにも寄ってくださった!
ガイドもよきでした。
亀もいっぱい見れました
I had a great time.
楽しめました

On the day of the tour, although we were unable to visit Manoa Falls due to local circumstances, the tour company took us to Waimea Canyon as an alternative, which turned out to be a fun experience in a different way! The tour guide was very cheerful and fluent in Japanese, making it a great optional tour. Thank you very much!
当日は現地の都合でマノアの滝は入場不可だったものの、ツアー会社の代案でワイメア渓谷に連れていって頂き違う意味で楽しい体験が出来ました!ツアーガイドさんも超明るくて日本語も堪能できて良いオプショナルツアーとなりました。ありがとうございましたm(__)m
I'm not sure about Manoa, but I think there's a high chance of rain in Waimea, so I saw many people with ponchos and clothes and shoes that could get wet, as well as swimwear. I think it's a great opp
マノアはよく分かりませんが、ワイメアは雨の確率が高いとおもうのでポンチョと濡れても良い服装、靴、また水着の人も多かったです。自然に触れる良い機会とおもいますので是非参加してみて下さい!
Thank you very much for participating in "Nature and You: Manoa."
We sincerely apologize for not being able to guide you to Manoa Falls due to fallen trees on the hiking trail caused by the rain the day before. Although it was a sudden course closure, we acknowledge the lack of prior checks and will address this as a future challenge.
Despite the circumstances, we are encouraged by your kind words and warm review, stating that you enjoyed the alternative tour. Our entire staff appreciates it greatly.
Thank you also for your advice regarding what to bring and wear. We will certainly use it as a reference for future guests.
When you next visit Hawaii, please consider hiking to Manoa Falls again. We look forward to the day we can meet again.
Mahalo!
この度は「ネイチャーアンドユー:マノア」にご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
前日の雨の影響によりハイキングコースに倒木が発生し、マノアの滝までご案内できなかったこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。急なコース閉鎖とはいえ、事前確認が不足していた点につきましては、今後の課題とさせていただきます。
そのような状況にもかかわらず、代替ツアーを楽しんでいただけたとのお言葉、そして温かいレビューをいただき、スタッフ一同大変励みになっております。
また、持ち物や服装についてのアドバイスもありがとうございます。今後ご参加されるお客様へのご案内に、ぜひ参考にさせていただきます。
次回ハワイにお越しの際には、ぜひ改めてマノアの滝へのハイキングをご検討ください。またお会いできる日を、心よりお待ちしております。
マハロ!
I took my wife and daughters to Hawaii and we found this excursion. It looked a little challenging but the crew was professional and we had an amazing time! Highly recommend it!
Aloha! We are so happy to hear you and your family had an amazing time on the outrigger canoe. Paddling definitely take a lot of hard work but the ride is worth it! Mahalo for surfing with us, we hope to see you back in Hawaiʻi soon.
My 3-year-old child couldn't dive into the sea yet, but I wanted to show him sea turtles and fish, so we participated. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles, and my son was very happy. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, but the timeshare sales staff provided detailed instructions, which was helpful.
3歳の子どもはまだ海に潜れず、でもウミガメや魚を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。
運良くウミガメも見られて、息子も大喜びでした。
集合場所が少し分かりにくかったですが、タイムシェアの営業の方が詳しく教えてくださったので助かりました。
The meeting place is at the sign for Atlantis Submarine, and when I mentioned my name, I was told to come to the pier in XX minutes. There was a roof and a place to sit and wait at the pier.
集合場所はAtlantis submarine の看板があるところで、名前を告げると桟橋のところに〇〇分に来てと言われました。
桟橋には屋根と座って待機する場所がありました。
I traveled from Kona on the Big Island to Honolulu and used it from the domestic terminal to my hotel. There was a sudden downpour, which caused traffic and took longer than expected. It was a bit cold inside the car.

ちょっと車内が寒かったです
It's a good idea to have a jacket ready.
上着を用意しておくと良いです
The Hawaiian version of Cirque du Soleil was stunning! Since the venue isn't too large, I think you can enjoy it from any seat. The audience participation was hilarious, and the performers were great at getting everyone excited. I had a wonderful time!
ハワイ版のシルクドソレイユ、圧巻でした!
会場がそんなに広すぎないため、どの席でも楽しめると思います。
お客さんを巻き込んでの演出も大爆笑で、盛り上げ上手な演者の皆様にとても楽しませていただきました。
I recommend bringing a jacket as the venue has strong air conditioning.
会場はエアコンが強く効いているので、上着をもっていかれることをお勧めします。
This was a restaurant I had wanted to visit for many years. The presentation of the dishes was very beautiful, and the crab cream pasta was exquisite. The foie gras and filet mignon also tasted just as I expected. There were many staff members who understood Japanese, which made ordering wine stress-free and reassuring. Thank you for a wonderful time.
何年も前からずっと行きたかったお店でした。
お料理の盛り付けが見た目にとてもきれいで、カニクリームのパスタは絶品でした。
フォアグラとフィレのお肉も期待通りの味でした。
日本語がわかるスタッフが多く、ワインの注文がストレスなくできて安心しました。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
I saw a Cirque du Soleil show for the first time. It was an emotional performance that kept my eyes wide open for 80 minutes. With various situations, I never got bored, and the audience joined in, making it a fun experience for everyone.
初めてシルクドソレイユのショウを見ました。80分間目を閉じることなく感動のショウでした。色々のシチュウエーショウで、あきることなく、観客の人も一緒になり全員で楽しくショウを見ることができました。
It's a show that you want to see multiple times once you've seen it once.
一度見たら何回も見たいショウです
Upon arriving at Kualoa Ranch, we were guided on where to wait inside the bus. They also spoke in Japanese. On that day, there were Japanese staff members present at the facility, and they gathered only the Japanese guests to provide detailed explanations about the locations of the restrooms and lockers. The scenery while riding the horses was breathtaking and became a wonderful memory.
クアロアランチに到着すると、バスの中でどこで待機するか案内されます。日本語も話してくれました。当日は施設に日本人スタッフが在中していた日で、日本人だけ集められ、お手洗いやロッカーの場所など丁寧に説明がありました。馬に乗りながら観る景色は圧巻でいい思い出になりました。
I think it's best to wear long pants that you don't mind getting dirty because when a horse goes to the bathroom, the splatter can be quite intense.
馬がおトイレすると、跳ね返りがすごいので、汚れてもいい長ズボンがいいと思います。
I also requested a shuttle service, and the pickup was smooth, allowing us to arrive early.
My child was too scared to ride, but I was really happy to experience the slider that is scheduled to open this weekend a bit early.
Since it was a weekday, the place was generally quiet, and we had plenty of beach beds available. My child wanted to ride the slider but couldn't due to height restrictions, so I think it's best to do some research in advance. There are various types of sliders to enjoy, so I recommend it for those who love thrilling rides.
The lazy river was closed, but the wave pool had waves coming regularly, so we were able to enjoy it.
The staff provided a tour of the facilities in Japanese, which made it very easy to understand.
送迎もお願いしたのですが、ピックアップもスムーズで早めに到着することができました。
子どもは怖がって乗れなかったのですが、今週末オープン予定のスライダーをひと足先に体験することができてすごくうれしかったです。
平日だったので全体的に空いていて、ビーチベッドも十分使えました。
子供が乗りたかったスライダーが身長が足りず乗れなかったので、事前リサーチしておいた方がいいかと思います。
いろんな種類のスライダーを楽しめるので、絶叫系が好きな方におすすめです。
流れるプールはクローズでしたが、波のプールは定期的に波が来ていたので、楽しむことができました。
スタッフの方が日本語で施設内を案内してくれたのですごく分かりやすかったです。
The FlowRider had a line in the afternoon, so I think it's better to go in the morning when you can enjoy it without waiting.
フローライダーは午後になると並んでいたので、午前中の方が並ばず遊べるかと思います。
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

This was an incredible experience and a highlight of the trip for our family. We particularly enjoyed the submarine and the tour of the ship.
You need a lot of time (and it goes super quickly!) but you will learn so much and be very moved.
The buffet had a wide variety of dishes, which was satisfying. However, I didn't find the taste to be that delicious. I wasn't expecting much from the show, but it turned out to be very entertaining.
ビュッフェは品数が多く満足でした。ただ味はそこまで美味しいとは感じませんでした。ショーはあまり期待していなかったもののとても面白かったです。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to the Rockaflor Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are sorry to hear that the food did not suit your taste, but we are glad to know that you enjoyed the entertainment. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ オリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーに御家族でご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。お食事がお口に合わなかったことが残念でしたがエンターテインメントは楽しんで頂き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。
This time in Oahu, we decided to take on an active adventure by riding four-wheel buggies at Kualoa Ranch. It seemed like there were mostly younger people, as we didn't see anyone in their 60s like us, but my husband, who loves driving, was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the scenery was really beautiful. Just be careful as you might get covered in dust, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and definitely using a locker for your bag.
今回のオアフはアクティブに挑もうということでクアロアランチの四輪バギーに乗ることにしました。若い方たちが多いようで、私たちのような60代は見かけませんでしたが、運転好きの主人は大満足でした。天候にも恵まれ景色も大変良かったです。ただ砂ぼこりをかぶってしまうので注意書きどおり汚れてもよい服装と、カバンは必ずロッカーを利用することをおすすめします。
As soon as I arrived at the airport, my reservation was confirmed, and I was able to move smoothly. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you very much.
空港に着いたら、すぐに予約が確認がとれ、スムーズに移動できました。
次回も利用したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
Robert is comfortable since tips are included, so there's no need to worry.
ロバートはチップ込みなので気を使わなく快適です。
A lounge floating on the sea, kayaking experiences, snorkeling, and enjoying marine sports! The scenery was amazing, and there was a nearby U.S. military base with fighter jets and helicopters flying around. As an airplane enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Hawaii. Although the sandbar didn't appear due to the season, I had plenty of fun.
海に浮かぶラウンジ、カヤック体験、シュノーケリング🤿とマリンスポーツを堪能❗️
景色も最高で、近くに米軍基地があり、
戦闘機やヘリコプターも旋回しており、飛行機好きな私としてはハワイを大満喫出来ました。季節的にサンドバーは出現しませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
The sandbar might be nice around spring to summer.
サンドバーは春から夏あたりがいいかも。
Aloha Kuuchin,
Thank you for the 5-star review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the KBOS tour. We hope you will join us again for the KBOS sandbar tour. Our crew is looking forward to welcoming you back.

It was amazing. This is my 10th time coming to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii, and it’s always so much fun. Some people might wonder why come to Hawaii just to go to a pool, but it really is the best. This time, we even had a guide.
According to the guide, there’s a new attraction that will open in three days, and we might be able to ride it. I was curious, and when we went to check, the staff asked if we wanted to ride, and I said YES! It was incredibly scary and completely different from the other existing attractions. I thought I never wanted to ride it again, but the young girls were thrilled and rode it multiple times. I think it will become very popular starting tomorrow.
最高でした。
ウエッタンワイルドハワイに来るのは、今回で10回目ですが、いつきても最高に楽しいです。ハワイに来てプール?というひともいますが、やはり、最高です。特に今回は、ガイドさんもつきました。
ガイドさが、いうには、3日後にオープンになるあたらしいアトラクションももしかしたら、乗れるかも、、とのことでした、
どうかな、と思いながら、いってみたら、乗る?とスタッフにきかれ、YES!といい、乗ることが出来ました。めちゃくちゃこわくて、ほかの既存のアトラクションとは全然違いました。怖くて、わたしは、二度と乗りたくないとおもいましたが、若い娘は、喜んで何回も乗っていました。次回から、だ明日人気になるとおもいます。
Definitely try the new attraction. It's scary, but...
是非、新しいアトラクションに乗ってください。怖いけど
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
The new slide we opened this time features unprecedented length, height, and steep angles. It takes a bit of courage, but it's a very exciting slide. Thank you for sliding with us.
Aloha,
貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
今回開いた新しいスライダーは今までにない、長さ、高さ、急な角度となっています。ちょっと勇気がいりますがとても面白いスライダーです。滑っていただきありがとうございました。
First, the Japanese woman who explained the tickets right after we got off the shuttle bus was very kind, and I felt reassured from the check-in for the experience until we got on the bus back!
However, as she mentioned, there were no Japanese speakers after the check-in, so we had to rely on understanding English, which was quite challenging (laughs). By the way, my husband and I don't speak any English at all 🤣. There were videos in Japanese about the precautions for riding the buggy, so that was fine, but when we stopped at the photo spots, the explanations were all in English, so we managed to understand using Google Translate's speaker.
My husband, who is used to driving, and I, who usually don't drive, took on the challenge, but it was quite a long ride, and driving on the bumpy mountain roads in an unfamiliar buggy was exhausting even for my husband, who drives regularly (laughs). I couldn't enjoy the scenery unless it was on a straight road, and since we didn't stop at the photo spots, I couldn't switch places with my husband, which was tough for me 😭💦.
But the scenery was truly overwhelming, and I'm really glad we went!
まず送迎バスから降りてすぐチケットの説明などしてくれる日本人の女性の方はとっても親切で、体験のチェックインから帰りのバスに乗るまで安心できました!
ただその方も言ってましたが、体験のチェックインしたあとは日本語を話せる人はいないので、英語を聞き取るしかなかったのが大変でした(笑)
ちなみに我々夫婦は全く英語ができません🤣
バギーに乗る注意点などの映像は日本語のものがあり、そこは大丈夫でしたが、バギーに乗って写真スポットに止まったときその場所の説明などしてくれますが、全部英語なのでGoogle翻訳のスピーカーとかを使ってなんとか聞き取りました。笑
ただ運転に慣れた夫と普段な運転しない私で挑みましたが、結構長い間走りますし、ガタガタの山道を慣れないバギーで走るので、普段運転してる夫でもクタクタになってました(笑)
私はまっすぐな道でなければ景色どころではなかったし、写真スポットまで止まってくれないので夫に変わることもできず大変でした😭💦
だけど景色は本当に圧倒的で行って本当に良かったと思ってます!
If you're used to driving, you'll be fine, but if you don't drive often, please be careful! You can get left behind quite a bit (laughs).
運転に慣れた方でしたら大丈夫ですが普段運転しない方は注意してください!結構置いていかれます(笑)
It was cloudy all day, with occasional light rain, and it felt a bit chilly, so the conditions were not ideal. However, the staff lent us wetsuits, took photos on the boat, helped us find turtles, and really lifted the atmosphere. I had a very enjoyable time, so I would like to visit again on a sunny day.
この日はずっと曇りで、時々小雨もぱらつき、肌寒く、コンディション的にはハズレでしたが、スタッフの皆さんがウェットスーツを貸してくれたり、船上で写真を撮ってくれたり、カメを見つけてくれたり、場を盛り上げてくれました。
とても楽しい時間が過ごせたので、また晴れた日に再訪したいです。
It's best to choose a time when the likelihood of sunny weather is high. I went in February, but the weather was quite variable.
できる限り晴れの可能性が高い時期を選ぶと良いです。
私は2月に行きましたが、天気にブレがありました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

It was exactly the day Michael performed, so I enjoyed it even more! The singing sister was very beautiful and wonderful. It was fun.
ちょうどマイケルの出演の日でしたので、より楽しめました!
歌のお姉さんがとても綺麗で、素敵でした
楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are honored that you enjoyed Michael's performance and that it became a wonderful memory for you in Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Hawaii and hope to see you again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。マイケルの演出も楽しめて頂けたご様子で、ハワイでの良い思い出になったことを光栄に思っております。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 couldn't have a conversation since everything was in English, but I was moved by the wonderful scenery! After it was over, my face was completely black, and we all had a great laugh. Every time I see the photos, I can't help but laugh. It was so much fun. I want to go again!
全て英語だった為、会話はできませんでしたが、素晴らしい景色に感動しました!
終わってから顔が真っ黒で、皆で大笑いしました。写真を見るたび、笑ってしまいます。とても楽しかったです。また行きたいです。
It might be better to store your luggage in a locker, as there is a possibility it could get completely white.
手荷物も真っ白になる可能性がある為、ロッカーに預けた方がいいかもしれないです
This is an amazing experience. Entertainment of hosts (singers) was perfect. They have wit and the singing talent to go with it. I highlyrecommend going with them.
The sandbar is amazing! Sea turtles, fish around the corals, paddle boarding.
I can't believe wife and I did the banana boat ride at our ages. It is worth it though! I tell people I can't believe I did it but glad I did.
Will take this tour again when given the chance!
make sure you don't over eat before taking this trip.
Aloha rod_sd,
Thank you for your 5-stars review! We are so happy that you enjoyed our tour including a Banana boat ride. We are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Mahalo,

I participated with four friends. It was everyone's first time riding a buggy, and we enjoyed breathtaking views that we had never seen in Japan. The staff entertained us with photos and performances, which left us with wonderful memories. However, it wasn't as rugged as I had imagined, and since we were driving in a line as a group, most of us were asleep in the back during the second half.
友人4人で参加しました。全員バギーに乗るのが初めてだったし、日本で見たことのない絶景を楽しみました
そしてスタッフが写真やパフォーマンスで楽しませてくれたのが楽しい記憶として残っています
ただ想像していたほど荒地ではなく集団での縦列走行なので後半は運転者以外寝ていました
It was very dusty because I rode on a nice day. I think it's necessary to take precautions like wearing a windbreaker.
天気の良い日に乗ったので砂埃がすごかったです ウィンドブレーカーなど対策は必要かと思います
It was more thrilling and higher than I imagined! Still, the view of the horizon and Diamond Head from above was breathtaking! It was a great experience with nothing to complain about!
想像以上に高くてスリルがあります!
それでも上から見る水平線やダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景でした!なにも文句をつけることのない良い体験でした!
They came to pick me up earlier than scheduled. After signing some documents, we moved to a few other pickup locations and then headed to Diamond Head. Once everyone gathered, the guide started. I only understood about half of what was said, but it seemed like most of it was jokes. Everyone except me seemed to be native English speakers. However, it was no problem at all if you couldn't speak. The entrance fee and reservation for Diamond Head were handled by Veltra, so you can get in without doing anything. I was dropped off at the entrance of Diamond Head around 8:40, received a bottle of water, and was told to be back by 10:30.
The hike to Diamond Head takes about 30 to 40 minutes one way. There are many bumpy areas and stairs, so I recommend wearing sneakers. It can be quite windy and relatively cold at the top, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.
After coming down, I relaxed on a bench and looked at souvenirs. I was a bit anxious when the return pickup didn't arrive on time, but I thought, "This is America, so it’s probably normal." You also receive water on the way back, which you can decline if you don't want it. The drop-off location can be either the pickup spot or your hotel if it's nearby.
I gave a $10 bill as a tip, which seemed to be the average amount based on what I saw from other participants. I joined as a solo male traveler, but I wasn't singled out or anything; it was a straightforward and nice tour. If you can understand some English, this option is cheaper than a Japanese guide with tips included, so I think it's sufficient. For those who can use Lealea, it's easy to go that way. If you take The Bus, you get dropped off in front of the tunnel, so there's quite a bit of walking, but it's cheaper.
予定の時間よりも早く迎えに来てくれました。書類にサインして、他のピックアップ場所へ何箇所か移動して、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ。全員集合すると、ガイドが始まります。半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが、ジョークが大半だったような気がします。私以外は英語ネイティブっぽかったです。でも喋れなくても全く問題なしです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料や予約はベルトラがしてくれますので、何もしなくても入れます。8:40くらいにダイヤモンドヘッドの入り口で降ろされて、お水渡されて、帰りは10:30にココ!と言われました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドへのハイキングは片道だいたい30〜40分くらい。ガタガタのところや階段も多いので、スニーカーをおすすめします。上の方は風がとても強くて、割と寒いので、薄い上着あるといいかもしれないです。
降りてきてからは、ベンチに座ってのんびりしたり、お土産みたりしていました。
帰りは時間通りに迎えが来ず、少し不安でしたが、アメリカなのでそんなもんだろうと。
帰りも水を渡されます。要らなければ断れます。降ろす場所はピックアップ場所か、泊まってるホテルが近ければ送ってくれます。
チップは余っていた10ドル札を渡しました。他の参加者を見ててもそのくらいが平均かなと思います。
男1人で参加でしたが、特にいじられることもなく、さっぱりしていて、いいツアーだと思いました。
多少英語が聞き取れれば、日本語ガイドチップ入りよりも安いので、こちらで十分だと思います。
レアレア利用できる人はそれで行くのが楽です。ザ・バスで行くと、トンネルの前で降りるので割と歩きますが、安いです。
As long as you keep time and follow instructions, there won't be any problems.
時間を守って、あとは言われるがまま動けば何も問題ないです。
I attended the performance alone, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. The quality of the local Hawaiian singers, musicians, and dancers was beyond my expectations. The Elvis and MJ impersonators have been performing for a long time, and they were consistently good.
公演のみで1人で参加しましたが、充分楽しめました。
ハワイローカルの歌い手やミュージシャン、ダンサーのクオリティが想像以上に高かった。
エルビスやMJのそっくりさんも長いこと公演されているのもあって、安定して良かった。
It's enjoyable just to sit here.
ただ座っているだけで楽しいです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど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。
