All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

It was a rainy season, but due to a storm the day before, our 8 AM departure was changed to 12 PM for safety reasons. We were contacted the day before and were kindly informed that we could decide whether to participate or not, and we chose to go ahead with the change instead of canceling.

We were picked up in Ko Olina and then made several stops in Waikiki, so we waited about 20 minutes longer than the scheduled meeting time. The participants were a mix of Japanese and foreigners, and there were several families with children as well.

On the day of the tour, it was clear skies, but the sea was rough due to the recent bad weather, and I experienced a bit of seasickness. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it.

After about an hour of fast sailing out to the dolphin viewing spot, we were able to see several dolphins swimming around the boat. And just a little further ahead, we even spotted a whale! The sight of the whale jumping was incredibly moving. It wasn't the season for whale watching, so we were very lucky.

We thoroughly enjoyed watching the whales and dolphins, but when we moved to the snorkeling spot, the sea was quite dirty due to the storm's impact, and the marine activities were canceled, so we couldn't go into the water. I was looking forward to snorkeling as well, so that was a bit disappointing.

On the way back, the crew put on a hula show for us, and we were able to see the rare whale again, making it an overall satisfying tour.

雨の多い時期でしたが前日に嵐がきたこともあり、8時出発を予約してましたが安全性優先とのことで12時発に変更となりました。
それに関しては前日にご連絡を頂き、参加するかどうかはこちらで判断していいと丁寧にご案内され、私たちはキャンセルせずに変更を選択しました。
私たちはコオリナでのピックアップ、ワイキキで何ヶ所かピックアップしてからなので集合時間より20分ほど待ちました。
参加者は日本人と外国人半々といった感じで、お子様連れのファミリーも数組参加されていました。
当日は快晴でしたが、連日の悪天候の影響で海は荒れており私は少し船酔いをしました。
苦手な方は酔い止め持参をおすすめします。
イルカが見られるスポットまで約1時間ほどかなり沖まで高速で進むと、船の回りを泳ぐ何頭ものイルカを見ることができました。
そして、少し先には何とクジラまで！
クジラのジャンプはとても感動的でした。
本来クジラが見られる時期ではなかったので、とても運がよかったです。
存分にクジラとイルカを堪能しましたが、シュノーケルスポットに移動すると嵐の影響で海がかなり汚れており、マリンアクテビティは中止ということで海に入ることもてきませんでした。
イルカウォッチだけでなくシュノーケルなども楽しみにしていたので、少し残念でした。
帰路では船上でクルーの方々がフラショーを観せて下さり、貴重なクジラも見ることができて全体的には満足なツアーでした。

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。

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。

After 20 years? Following the storm and days of heavy rain leading up to it, the morning of the tour was clear, but upon arriving at the site, the clouds looked suspicious. As expected, it rained occasionally during the trek. The path was muddy, and there were signs of fallen trees, but our guide was attentive to safety issues, allowing us to complete the trek safely.

The tour was a mixed group of English speakers and Japanese participants, but with two guides (who also drove), we were able to split into English and Japanese groups, so there were no language issues, and we could enjoy ourselves without worry. At Tantalus Hill, the weather was clear, and we could see from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor.

Thank you to our guides, Shin and Jason, for a fun tour with great safety considerations.

20年ぶり？のストーム後、前日まで連日の大雨で、当日も朝は晴れていましたが、現地に到着すると怪しい雲行き。
案の定、トレッキング中も時々雨が降りました。
道はぬかるんでいて、倒木の跡もありましたが、ガイドさんが危険事項を都度注意してくれて安全にトレッキングを終えることができました。
ツアー英語圏の方と日本人の混載ツアーでしたが、2名のガイドさん(兼運転手さん)で英語班と日本語班で行動したので言語の問題はなく、安心して楽しく過ごすことができました。
タンタラスの丘では晴天で、ダイヤモンドヘッド〜パールハーバーまで見渡すことができました。
ガイドの進さん、ジェイソンさん、安全配慮の楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

It was a bit cold in February. Unfortunately, I had to give up snorkeling because it was too cold. The tour guide was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel at ease participating. I was satisfied enjoying the beautiful sea from the boat.

2月で少し寒かったです。残念ながらシュノーケリングは寒すぎて断念しました。ツアーの方はとても明るい日本人の方で、安心して参加でできました。美しい海を船から楽しめ満足しています。

I had a reservation, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries. The server was very pleasant. As mentioned in other posts, it seems there is no consideration for anniversaries. (I informed them in advance that it was my parents' wedding anniversary, but there was nothing special.)

予約してあるので気軽に楽しめました。
サーバーの方の感じが良かったです。
他の投稿にもありましたが記念日についての配慮は無さそうです。
（事前に両親の結婚記念日にあたることを伝えましたが特に何もありませんでした）

Because of our schedule, we chose to take the sunrise tour to Diamond Head. There is only one company that offers it that I could tell. It is an expensive ride, but you are the first one there. Note that you arrive 45 minutes before the park opens so you will be waiting in line to get in. You will need to use your flashlight on your phone to get up to the top and the hike is moderately difficult. We were lucky and had a beautiful view on the top. The malsadas are a yummy treat at the end.

The meal was in the rain, which diminished the enjoyment, but the food was delicious. I hope to go again on a nice day.

雨の中の食事となり、楽しさが半減してしまいましたが、ご飯は美味しいかったです。
天気の良い日に、また行けたらと思っています。

I have visited Kualoa Ranch many times, and I usually only did horseback riding, but due to the weak yen, I made a reservation for this experience this time. I was surprised to find such a place within Kualoa Ranch. However, the lunch was not good, and wild birds came to the dining area, making it very difficult to eat slowly. I wonder if it was hygienic? As for the afternoon cruise, it was very refreshing, but it was different from what I had expected, and I felt scared due to the strong winds. The explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content at all.

クアロアランチには何度も来ていて、いつもは乗馬だけでしたが、円安の状況で今回の内容で予約をしました。クアロアランチ内にあんな場所かあったとは驚きでした。ただランチの内容は良くなかったし、食事の場所に野鳥が来てとてもゆっくり食べれませんでした。衛生的にも良くないかと？午後からのクルーズですが、思っていたクルーズとは違いとても新鮮でしたが、強風にあおられて恐怖を感じました。英語でのでの説明でしたので内容も全く分かりませんでした。

Weather was bad - cold and windy, not something controllable. (Although given such wind and low temperature , it might have been ethical for the tour to cancel itself.) But 1) the bus had all of the boat waiting after the trip for about 30 minutes, 2) there wasn’t a sufficient wind shelter for everyone, meaning old ppl and babies were exposed to cold wind. The lunch was also meh - bbq is an overstatement for hamburger patties and buns. Crew was friendly.

Our guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. Our experience was well worth the cost. I would highly recommend.

Une expérience inoubliable.
Une journée belle et fantastique.

Merci

The one-hour course was just enough. All the staff were very nice, and we had a great time. The scenery was also amazing! My 10-year-old son was very satisfied as well.

1時間コースで十分でした。
スタッフもみんな感じがよくとても楽しめました。
景色も最高でした！
10歳の息子もとても満足していました。

As soon as I showed the voucher, I was guided right away, and I was able to choose from the Japanese menu. On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, I had a meal with three friends while listening to live music and feeling the Hawaiian vibe. The staff were also really nice, which was great. Thank you very much!

バウチャーを見せたらすぐに案内していただき、日本語メニューから選ぶ事ができました。
生演奏を聞きながら、ハワイ着いた初日の夜
友達３人で、ハワイを感じなら食事ができました。スタッフもいい感じのスタッフで良かったです。有難うございました。

We had a great time on the movie tour and delicious lunch and a beautiful catamaran ride seeing some turtles

I believe I informed you of my birthday when I applied, but I'm not sure if it was an input error or a communication mistake, as I did not receive any birthday celebration. I had hoped to be celebrated, but by the time I was there, I felt indifferent about it, so I didn't follow up.

申込時に誕生日の連絡をしたはずでしたが、入力エラーだったのか連絡ミスなのかわかりませんが、誕生日お祝いはありませんでした。
できるなら祝って欲しいと思っていた程度だったこともあり、現地ではもうどっちでも良いと思ったので、確認も行いませんでした。

Since it was the first day, I was a bit anxious about being in a new place, but I was able to get in relatively smoothly. The Japanese language was also fine, and I was able to relax while listening to music. The amount of food was just right for us, which was great.

初日だったので初めての所は不安でしたが、割とスムーズに中に入れて、日本語も大丈夫だったし、音楽を聴きながらゆっくり過ごせました。料理の量も多過ぎず私達には、良かったです。

We participated as a family. Since my family isn't very good at English, we were a bit anxious about going out to sea, but my fourth-grade son had a blast and we were able to create wonderful memories. There were staff members who spoke Japanese perfectly, which made us feel at ease. It has become a place we want to visit again. Thank you!

家族で参加しました
英語が得意ではない家族だったので、海に出る事が少し不安でしたが、
小学4年生の息子も思いっきり楽しめて、最高の思い出が作れました。
日本語バッチリのスタッフさんもいて安心できました。
また訪れたい場所になりました。
アリガト〜

The weather was rainy and cloudy, but the day was filled with adventure and family time. It made for a perfectly beautiful day. Captain Bobs was safe and comical and the lunch was great!

My spouse and I tried kayaking for the first time in Hawaii on our wedding anniversary! The guide was incredibly kind, handsome, and fluent in Japanese. He taught us how to operate the kayak with great care, and we were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best tour ever! Even as a couple approaching our sixties, thanks to our wonderful guide, we created unforgettable and extremely fun memories. Thank you very much!

夫婦で、結婚記念日に訪れたハワイで、カヤック初挑戦！
ガイドさんが、とっても親切で、ハンサム、おまけに日本語もペラペラ、カヤックの操作も丁寧に教えて下さって、お天気にも恵まれて、最高のツアーでした！
還暦間近の夫婦でも、素晴らしいガイドさんのお陰で、めちゃくちゃくちゃ楽しい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Our guide Hoku was amazing. The conversation was interesting, and it was fun to communicate in multiple languages! The hike was just right for elementary school students, and we enjoyed plenty of negative ions.

ガイドのHokuさんが、最高でした。話しも面白く、多言語話せて楽しかったです！
小学生もちょうど良いハイキングができてマイナスイオンたっぷりでした。

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain... I put on my raincoat and arrived at the waterfall completely soaked. However, when it rains, the water flow of the waterfall increases, making it incredibly powerful! It wasn't as difficult as I imagined, but there were a few spots with steps that might be challenging for some people. Afterward, the Andy's sandwich I had at Tantalus was absolutely delicious! The rain had stopped at Tantalus, and I was able to enjoy a breathtaking view!

あいにくの大雨…レインコートを着て、ずぶ濡れになりながら滝まで到着。
でも、雨が降れば滝の水量は増えて、迫力満点！！
想像より大変じゃないけど、段差のある上り下りが何箇所かあったのが、人によっては大変かも。
終わってから、タンタラスで食べたアンディのサンドイッチは、めちゃくちゃおいしかったです！
タンタラスでは雨も上がり、絶景を見ることができました！

Although the weather was unfortunate with rain, I was able to see turtles and manta rays (just their fins, though...) and was once again amazed by the size of the manta rays. The rain made the sea murky, so the coral wasn't visible in its beauty, and I couldn't enjoy the beach due to the tides and changing weather. However, the cheerful Japanese female staff and other staff brightened my mood. All the participants were also cheerful, which made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There were many English speakers, and I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy conversations due to my lack of English skills; it made me think I should study English. On the way back, the captain came to greet us, making it a tour that didn't let the rain get us down.

天候に恵まれず生憎の雨天でしたが、亀やマンタのひれ（ひれのみでしたが・・・）を見ることができマンタの大きさに改めてびっくりしました。
雨で海も濁ってしまい、サンゴはきれいには見えず、ビーチも潮のかげんや天候の変動でか見ることはできませんでしたが、日本人の女性スタッフや他のスタッフも明るく、気持ちが明るくなりました。
参加者も皆さん明るく、南国だな～と思いました。
英語圏の方が多く、会話を楽しみたかったのに英語が出来ず残念、英語を勉強しようかな・・・と感じました。帰りには船長さんがあいさつに来てくれて、雨にも負けずというツアーでした。

Since we participated as a group of three, everyone ordered different dishes and we enjoyed tasting each other's meals. Each dish was very delicious and we were satisfied. Although we were over 30 minutes late due to transportation issues and ended up sitting away from the reserved seats, we were able to enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The music and ambiance were also great.

三人で参加したので、みな違う料理を注文し味見をしながらいただきました。それぞれ、とても良い味で満足できました。交通トラブルで30分以上遅れてしまい、予約席ではないステージから離れた席になってしまいましたが、落ち着いて食事ができました。音楽も雰囲気も良かったです。

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour. The movie location tour was enjoyable as there were many films I had seen. The Kaneohe Bay cruise had great weather, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Additionally, the explanations about the culture and history were interesting and well done. Both tours had guides who were great at engaging the group and took plenty of photos for us. The lunch buffet was hearty and very delicious. There was a well-delivered lecture in Japanese at the beginning, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.

数回目のハワイですが、初めて参加しました。
映画ロケ地巡りは、見た映画が多くあり楽しめました。カネオヘ湾クルーズも天気が良く、良い景色を楽しめました。また、文化、歴史の説明も興味深く良かったです。両ツアーともガイドさんは盛り上げ方が上手く、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。ランチビュッフェはボリューム満点でとても美味しかったです。
最初に上手な日本語でのレクチャーがあるので安心して楽しめました。

I participated with my family of four: my second-grade daughter, my preschool son, my husband, and myself. It rained the entire time we were in Honolulu, but during this angelic sea tour, it was sunny (though there were a few light showers), and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sandbar.

The water at the sandbar was about waist-deep for adults, but it was shallow enough for the kids to stand, which made it safe. We played by floating with our inner tubes and snorkeling to peek into the sea. The water was incredibly clear and beautiful.

At one point, we caught a whiff of delicious grilled meat! My son raved that the hamburger and boiled beans for lunch were the best he had ever tasted!

After that, we went on a sea turtle search! We were able to see several sea turtles surfacing for air, and we even encountered a manta ray!

For the final snorkeling around the coral, my daughter and I participated! The wind was strong, and we were swept by the waves, but with some help, we discovered a sea turtle's resting spot and saw octopuses and fish as well.

We were even treated to drinks and snacks, allowing both of our kids to have a great time.

小2の娘と、年少の息子と夫と私の家族4人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在中、ずーっと雨でしたが、この天使の海のツアー中だけは晴れて（多少、小雨の時もあったけど）、綺麗なサンドバーを満喫できました。
サンドバーは、大人の腰くらいまでは水があったのですが、子供も足がつくので安心。浮き輪つけて浮かんだり、海の中をシュノーケルで覗いたりして遊びました。とにかく海の水が透明できれいでした。
途中から、お肉を焼いてるいい匂い〜！！息子はこのお昼ご飯のハンバーガーと煮豆が一番美味しかった！と大絶賛でした。
その後は海亀探し！海亀の息継ぎを何匹も見れて、なんとマンタにまで遭遇できました。
最後の珊瑚の周りのシュノーケルは、娘と私で参加！風が強くて波に流されたりしましたが、助けてもらって、海亀の寝床を発見したり、タコとかお魚も見れました。
飲み物や、お菓子までおもてなししていただき、子供2人とも楽しく過ごすことができました。

It's very spacious, and to get around, you can either ride in a car, take a bus, or ride a horse. I wanted to ride a horse, but since the course is long, I chose the bus considering the strain on my back. Unfortunately, there was no explanation in Japanese when we arrived, and the bus for this movie location tour also had no Japanese at all. That's a bit disappointing. I recommend reading the explanations in advance. Next time, I would like to try zip-lining as well.

とても広くて、見て回るにはクルマに乗るか、バスに乗るか、馬に乗るか。
馬に乗りたかったけれども、長いコースなので、腰への負担を考えてバスにしました。着いたときの説明も、この映画ロケ地ツアーのバスも日本語は全くないです。それがちょっと残念。事前に説明を読んでおくことをおすすめします。
次回はジップラインもやってみたいなあ。

The whole crew was amazing!! Special shoutout to KIKO, TYSON, and the Captain!! This crew were to so helpful to everyone!! They took pictures for everyone and helped out with snorkeling gear. This is my third time with this trip and it just gets better and better!! See you soon Captain Bob!! Mahalo for everything and making me and my wife’s 20th Anniversary so special!!
Barberena Family

I really appreciated the crew and the way they treated us! The day was beautiful - a little overcast, but so beautiful as it always is at the sandbar. The sun came through and allowed us to be dazzled by the colors of the ocean. We saw lots of fish on our snorkel segment, and the majority of the boat played a fun game of volleyball in the water. The food was good, and the boat was spacious enough to allow everyone to see the turtles and to gaze at the beauty of the landscape as we moved through the water. I was lucky to be able to spend this memorable day with my cousin visiting from out of town. This was perfect for one of our big activities! We will never forget this fun experience!

This time, I participated with my mother, who is in her mid-80s. Initially, we thought we would have to give up on joining the tour because of her age, but after doing some research, we found out that there was a beginner-friendly course, so we decided to participate.

Our guide, Hoku (a foreigner), explained the plants in fluent Japanese and was considerate of our walking pace. Thanks to him, we were able to return safely without any injuries.

The sandwich we had afterward at Tantalus Lookout was delicious. We were able to see a different side of Hawaii, distinct from the beach.

今回は80代半ばの母親と参加しました。当初母が高齢ということもあり、ツアー参加は諦めていましたが、いろいろ調べて見ると初心者向けのコースと分かり参加を決意。
ガイドのホクさん（外国人）は流暢な日本語で植物の説明をしてくださり、また歩くスピードにも気を遣ってくれました。おかげで怪我なく無事戻れました。
その後のタンタラスの丘で食べたサンドイッチは美味しかったです。ビーチとはまた違ったハワイの一面を見ることが出来ました。
