I was truly moved to see natural fish and coral reefs right nearby while swimming. However, the sea was cold at 7 AM in January, so I couldn't stay in for long... I think it would be enjoyable around 10 AM when the sun is fully up.

泳いでいるすぐ近くを天然の魚や珊瑚礁を見ることができ、本当に感動しました。
ただ、1月の朝7時の海は寒くて、長時間は入っていられませんでした…。
日が登りきった10時ごろなら楽しめると思います。

I participated in the 3-hour course. The 2-hour course seemed to have many participants, but the 3-hour course had only three groups, allowing us to listen to detailed explanations at stunning viewpoints and movie filming locations while having plenty of time to take photos. Every spot felt like a rare opportunity to see such breathtaking scenery, making it an incredible experience!

3時間のコースに参加しました。
2時間コースは参加者が多そうでしたが、3時間コースは参加が３組で、絶景や映画の撮影ポイントで詳しく説明を聞きながら、たくさん写真を撮る時間がありました。
こんな絶景なかなか見られないと感じるところばかりで、最高の時間になりました！

Thank you for your courteous response to the sudden reservation change. Despite the unfortunate weather, I appreciate the support you provided for my husband, who uses a wheelchair, with boarding and disembarking from the boat, as well as your encouragement. I felt at ease and enjoyed the experience thanks to the interpretation from the guide who spoke Japanese. I believe it would have been even more beautiful if the weather had been nice. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

突然の予約変更に対しても丁寧な対応ありがとうございました。
アクティビティはあいにくの天候の中でも、車椅子使用の主人に船の乗降や声掛けなどサポートありがとうございました。
日本語のできるガイドさんの通訳で安心して楽しめました。
天気がいいともっと綺麗だったと思います。
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I booked the round-trip transportation plan for the Royal seats. It wasn’t cheap, but I’m really glad I chose it. It was absolutely worth it; the performance was truly amazing!!

This is the best activity where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery for two hours while riding a horse! Even as someone with very little horseback riding experience, I felt at ease because the guide was attentive. Simple instructions like "kick" were given in Japanese. It was a bit troublesome that the helmet didn't fit well due to my typical Japanese head shape, but overall, I was satisfied!

雄大な景色を2時間も馬に乗って楽しめる最高のアクティビティです！
乗馬経験がほとんどない自分でもガイドさんがよく見ていてくださるので安心して乗れました。「蹴ってください」など、簡単な指示は日本語で言ってくれました。
典型的な日本人の頭の形なのでヘルメットが合わなかったのは困りましたが、総じて満足です！

It was very impressive. I had a standard passport valid for two days, but unfortunately, I could only go for one day due to the length of my stay, which was very disappointing.

At the Battleship Missouri, a guide who spoke in the visitors' language thoroughly showed us the highlights of the ship. You can catch a glimpse of the situation surrounding the outbreak and conclusion of World War II from both Japan's and America's perspectives. I felt the curiosity of how the United States has created such a facility without leaning towards either side.

大変見応えがありました。 2日間有効なスタンダードパスポートだったのですが、滞在日数の関係で1日しか行く事ができなったのがとても残念です。
戦艦ミズーリでは訪問者の言語に合わせたガイドの方が、艦内の見所をしっかり案内して下さいました。
日本、アメリカそれぞれの立場から第二次大戦開戦そして集結の状況を垣間見る事ができます。どちらかに偏る事なくこういう施設をしっかりと作っているアメリカという国の不思議さを感じました。

I signed up for the buffet and show plan. The buffet was delicious, offering a variety of meats to enjoy. There were also hula lessons along the way, which were fun.

And the show was amazing! In addition to the traditional hula and luau show, the performances featuring Elvis and Michael were incredibly exciting. It was great to take pictures together at the end as well.

ビュッフェとショーのプランに申し込みしました。ビュッフェはいろんなお肉も楽しめて美味しかったです。途中フラレッスンなどもあって楽しめました。
そしてショーは最高でした！伝統的なフラとルアウのショーに加えて、エルヴィスとマイケルのダンスとショーが最高に盛り上がりました。最後に一緒に写真も撮ってもらえてよかったです。

It was absolutely amazing.
I was in the front row, right in the center.
There was a guy sitting next to me who was moving strangely, and I thought it was scary.
Suddenly, he went up on stage, and security came over, so I was like, "What’s going on?!"
But it turned out to be one of the performers (the leader). Haha!

素晴らし過ぎました。
1番真ん中の最前列でした。
隣に変な動きする男の人が座って、怖いなと思ってました。
急に舞台にあがって、警備の人が来たので
えー！！どうなってるの？と思ったら
まさかの演者さん(団長)でした。笑

Our driver who picked us up was watching a program on his phone and not paying attention to the road. Once we arrived and started our UTV tour it was amazing and worth every dollar. Our tour guide was excellent. The only problem was speakers in our UTV were hard to hear and need upgraded. The guide did take time to tell us about things in detail about what we had passed by and things to come ahead. Such a beautiful place I hope the ranch is maintained for generations to come.

Hanauma Bay was really beautiful and probably one of my favorite places on the trip. The view was amazing, and I took a lot of nice photos just by lying on the grass and looking at the ocean. It felt super relaxing and peaceful. I also saw some really cool fish, which made it exciting and different from just a normal beach.

There were a few things I didn’t like though. The rocks in the water made it kind of hard to walk, and sometimes it hurt my feet. I also didn’t enjoy snorkeling that much, but that was mostly because I felt sick. I think it would actually be really fun if you feel okay.

Be careful when putting on sunscreen and don’t get it too close to your eyes because it really hurts. Also, watch out for mongoose because they might steal your food. I saw it happen to people sitting near us. Overall, Hanauma Bay is an awesome place and I would recommend going.

I went to Pearl Harbor and it was a really interesting place to visit, but there were some parts I liked more than others.

My favorite part was the airplane area. We went to the Top of the Tower (paid extra $10.00 ) and saw 360 degree view of Pearl Harbor. There was one section in the back (kind of like a shed) which I found the coolest planes. I also really liked the submarine. It wasn’t very big, but it was cool because you could see how people actually lived inside. The beds were super small, and it made me imagine how hard life must have been there.

The USS Missouri wasn’t that exciting to me because I didn’t really find anything very interesting there. Also, the bus rides to go back and forth was a little boring and it felt like a waste of time.

Dan was amazing, we had a marvelous time, Dan was patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun!

Since we participated as a pair, we had to pay for three people, but it was really fun in the end. There wasn't a Japanese instructor during our session, which was tough, but they gave instructions in Japanese while we were paddling. The next day, my arms were sore from the muscle pain, haha! I think I will join again if I have the chance!

２人での参加だったので、３人分支払いをしなければなりませんでしたが結果とても楽しかったです。私達の時は日本人のインストラクターはおらず大変でしたが漕いでる時は日本語で指示してくれます。
次の日腕が筋肉痛になりました笑
また機会があれば参加しようと思います！

This excusion was one of our top experiences during our trip to Oahu. All of the staff was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and FUN! We had clouds and a little rain but that did not dampen our fun. It was clear that the staff are all professionals, yet they made us feel like long-time friends. They ensured our safety at all times. It was the perfect variety of activities.

I wanted to see sea turtles, so I made a last-minute reservation, and I'm glad I chose this one! We departed from a marina near Ala Moana Shopping Center and were able to see sea turtles off the coast of Waikiki Beach! It was a bit murky because it rained the day before, but we could still see them with the naked eye from the boat. They say it would be even clearer if it hadn't rained.

After snorkeling, there was an all-you-can-drink option, including alcohol. That was also fantastic!

ウミガメが見たくて、急遽予約しましたが選んで良かった！
アラモアナショッピングセンター近くのマリーナから出港して、ワイキキビーチ沖でウミガメ見れました！
前日に雨が降ったので少し濁ってましたが船上から肉眼でも見れます。
雨が降らなかったらもっとクリアに見えるそうです。

シュノーケリング後は、ドリンク飲み放題でアルコールもあります。これまた最高！

The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.

Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!

The day I happened to experience it had a small number of people, and I was able to have it explained in Japanese, which was truly wonderful. It was a rare experience to see magic up close. The magic was so amazing that even watching it right in front of me, I couldn't figure out how it was done. It was a fantastic skill, and I had a great time. It really became an unforgettable memory.

たまたま体験した日の人数が少なく、日本語で説明してもらえ，とても素晴らしかったです。身近でマジックが見られ、なかなかできない体験でした。素晴らしいマジックで目の前で見ててもたねは分からず、素晴らしい技で、楽しいひとときを過ごせました。本当に忘れられないいい思い出になりました。

We had an amazing time. Everyone was super friendly, easy to navigate. Would love to come back again!

I was relieved to have staff who could speak Japanese. I was moved to see dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. I had a great time playing in the ocean with snorkeling and the water slide. Watching the staff's hula show made me feel the essence of Hawaii. The lunch was also included and it was delicious.

日本語が話せるスタッフさんがいて安心しました。
イルカとホヌとホエールも見れて感動しました。
シュノーケルとウォーター滑り台思いっきり海で遊べました。
スタッフさんのフラショーを見てハワイだぁと感動です。
ランチも付いていて美味しかったです。

Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide

I booked this Luau with our Ko Olina Kaula Kai Sunset Sail and Luau Combo.

After checking in around 5:00–5:15pm, we were instructed to board the catamaran while musicians played and welcomed guests. For safety reasons, women wearing sandals or heels were asked to remove their shoes and board barefoot.

There were cookies and chips available for everyone on board, and once most guests had boarded, the bar opened. It was an open bar with options such as lilikoi mai tai, Waianae sunset, piña colada, turtletini, catatonic, and local beers from Kona Brewing. The boat was quite packed, and with only one bartender, the line became very long—so unless you were willing to wait, you could likely only get one or two drinks. They also ran out of chips, so not everyone was able to have some, until the very end when they refilled the table again.

We departed around 5:30pm. Since this was after the days of the storm, the ocean conditions hadn’t fully settled, and the ride was still a bit bumpy. Fortunately, I found a spot at the back of the boat, leaning against the railing and facing forward, which helped with the motion. We were able to spot a few​ whales, though they appeared only briefly, making them difficult to capture on camera. We returned to the harbor around 6:30pm, so the sailing portion lasted about an hour.

As I controlled the buggy through the rough terrain covered in dust, I soon arrived at a breathtaking viewpoint. While drinking the cold mineral water given to me by the guide, I listened to the explanation about the stunning scenery.

The next stop was aimed at the filming locations of movies like Jurassic World. The familiar sights that appeared one after another reminded me of those days.

次からのポイントは、ジェラシックワールドなどの映画撮影現場を目指す。次々に現れる見覚えのある光景はあの頃を思い出す。

There was a staff member who was Japanese, and they explained everything kindly and politely, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience! I was able to see sea turtles as well. Even as an older lady, I had a great time.

スタッフの方に日本の方がいて、優しく丁寧に説明してくれて、安心して楽しむことができました❗️
海ガメも見られました。
おばさんでも、十分楽しかったです。

It was a very enjoyable experience! The instructor spoke a little Japanese, so I understood the explanations. It was truly a great experience to view the stunning scenery of Hawaii from the sky over the ocean.

とても楽しい体験になりました！
インストラクターの方も少し日本語で話をしてくれたので説明もわかりました。ハワイの絶景を海の空から眺めるのは本当にいい体験でした。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I look forward to seeing this show, and I think I've seen it more than five times. It's a wonderful show that never gets boring, no matter how many times I watch it.

ハワイに来るたびに毎回このショーを見るのを楽しみにしており、5回以上見たかな。何度見ても退屈しない、素晴らしいショーです。

On the last morning in Honolulu, I signed up for this tour. I chose the earliest pickup time. The day before, I received a text message in English confirming the meeting time and location.

On the morning of the tour, I was waiting to see if someone would come to call my name in the lobby. When a large vehicle arrived, I thought it might be for me, and I should have spoken up, but I waited until I was called. Eventually, about five minutes later, the driver got out of the car and called my name. I thought it would be smoother if they also provided the car's license plate number via text in case no one came to call me.

The same driver was shuttling between the hotel and Diamond Head. Although they said they would pick me up at 8:35, they ended up being 30 minutes late. Since the hotel checkout was until 12:00, I was able to take a shower and change after returning to the hotel before heading to the airport. However, I know some hotels have a 10:00 checkout, so I was surprised by the 30-minute delay on the return trip. Moreover, the excuse was that they had to go to seven different hotels, and that group was late by 2-3 minutes each, causing the 30-minute delay. As I mentioned earlier, I believe if they had called names right away during the gathering, it wouldn't have taken so long.

ホノルル最終日の朝、このツアーに申し込みました。1番早いピックアップ時間に申し込みしました。前日にショートメールが英文で届き待ち合わせ時間と集合場所の確認メールが届きます。
当日の朝、ロビーまで名前を呼びに来るのかな？と思い、待っていました。大きな車が来たからそれかな？と思いこちらからも声をかけたら良かったのですが、呼ばれるまで待っていました。でも結局5分後くらいにその車からドライバーが降りて名前を呼んできました。もし呼びに来ないなら、車のナンバーなどもショートメールで教えてくれたらスムーズだと思った。同じドライバーが一台の車をピストンさせて、ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドの送迎をしています。帰りは8:35に迎えに来ると言っていたのに結局30分も遅刻してお迎えに来ました。ホテルのチェックアウトが12:00までだったので、今回はホテルに戻った後にシャワーを浴びて着替えてから飛行機に乗れましたがチェックアウトが10:00のホテルもあると思うので帰りの30分の遅刻は、驚きました。しかも、言い訳が7個のホテルを回ってそのグループが2.3分ずつ遅刻して30分遅れたとのこと‥最初にも書きましたが、集合時すぐに名前を呼んで乗車されたらそんなに時間が遅くならないと思いました。

The weather was cloudy with occasional rain, but it was warm with a southern breeze. I was happy to see manta rays and sea turtles. It would have been perfect if the sky had been clear, but it was a bit disappointing. The burger for lunch was delicious. The staff were all very cheerful and it was a lot of fun.

お天気が曇り時々雨でしたが、南風で暖かかったです。
エイやホヌが見れて嬉しかったです。
青空だったら最高だったんですけど、ちょっと残念。
ランチのBURGER美味しかったです。
スタッフ皆さんとても陽気で楽しかったです。

The banana boat and bumper tube were a lot of fun! The staff was also very friendly. The weather wasn't great, so I would like to experience it again on a sunny day in the blue sea.

バナナボートとバンパーチューブはとても楽しかったです！
スタッフも親切でした。
天気がイマイチだったので、晴れた日にまた青い海で体験したいです。

I was very satisfied with the entertainment that can be enjoyed in an open and tropical atmosphere. There were powerful performances such as hula dancing and fire dancing, and I was entertained from start to finish without getting bored. The captivating dances and lively singers energized the entire venue, and being able to see it up close was a truly valuable experience. The staff was also very courteous, and they made the dining experience enjoyable. Additionally, there were many Japanese people in attendance, which made it easy to enjoy even for first-timers. I think this show is highly recommended as a memorable part of your travels.

南国らしい開放的な雰囲気の中で楽しめるエンターテインメントとしてとても満足度が高かったです。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスなど、迫力のあるパフォーマンスが次々と披露され、最初から最後まで飽きることなく楽しめました。魅了的なダンスとノリのいいシンガーに会場全体が盛り上がっており、それを間近で見れる席は非常に貴重な体験でした。スタッフの対応も丁寧で、ご飯の時も楽しませてくれて、また日本人も多かったため初めてでも安心して楽めました。旅行の思い出として、とてもおすすめできるショーだと思います。
