All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

It seems that the impact of global warming will not cause islands to emerge. I'm glad to hear that you're from Japan. The hamburger was also very delicious.

温暖化？の影響で島が出てくる事はないそうです。日本の方なので助かります。ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

The atmosphere is nice while listening to live Hawaiian music. Although the variety is limited, the portions are enormous. I think it's better for everyone to order different main dishes.

生ハワイバンドを聞きながら、雰囲気はいいです。
品数が少ないが、量が物凄く。メインは皆で違うものを頼んだ方がいいとおもいました。

The scenery at Sandbar was exceptionally beautiful. The barbecue featured authentic hamburgers made with charcoal-grilled patties, which were delicious. During snorkeling, I was fortunate to see a sea turtle up close, which is a rare encounter.

サンドバーの風景、綺麗さは格別でした。
バーベキューは炭火焼きで本格的なハンバーグを使用したハンバーガーだったので、美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、出会うことが稀なウミガメを間近に見ることができて幸運です。

The activities were great but the whole staff is awemazing!

I was set on a tour that stopped at just the Sandbar, my mom insisted we do a tour that went to 2 locations... She was right! The sandbar is awesome and I encourage people to get out and walk around while you're there, play volleyball (if you want) or just enjoy being on land while under about 2 feet of water! Its wild! A Puffer Fish greeted us! She was much bigger than what I thought puffer fish were. We had burgers and drinks and were off to our second location ... the reef!! On our way we saw a bunch of sea turtles! They were HUGE! Some swam right up close to the boat! It was incredible. It was after a mild storm so the water wasn't 100% clear but still fairly clear. There were tons of colorful fish swimming all around us. I took a few mins to swim around the whole reef! Which every time I popped my head up and saw I was further away from the boat was a little scary and exciting! It was such a fantastic adventure day! My mom loved it, my kids were a little afraid at first at the reef but came to love it too! The crew... let me not forget about the crew! They are absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly,... when my daughter started to cry (9 years old) they knew her name and kept encouraging her! It was the sweetest! My son thought the main guide/lifeguard was the coolest and just wanted to swim where ever he swam (7 years old). The captain on our boat that day was a lady and also super friendly! Highly recommend to all ages and all skill levels! (I had my cell phone with a water protected case - i highly recommend. I purchased mine before the trip from REI, they sold similar ones in the ABC stores in Hawaii.)

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.

イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も
あるんだなあと、逆に確率の少ない方の経験ができて良かったという感想です。
あ、でも、それは、私は過去にハワイとグアムで２回、イルカを観る事が
できたからかも知れません。

My birthday dinner. I thought it would be nice to try casual dining for a change, so I made a reservation for the live music. Even though I mentioned it was my birthday, there wasn't any special service. When I told the waiter who brought my last coffee that I wished he would have at least said "Happy Birthday," the live band played "Happy Birthday" for me.
For dessert, I had a super sweet ice cream (see photo).

自分の誕生日ディナー。たまにはカジュアルダイニングもよいかと、生演奏目当てに予約。誕生日だと伝えてたのに、特にサービスもなし。最後のコーヒーを頼んだボーイに誕生日おめでとうくらいいってほしかったわと伝えると、生バンドが、happyバースデーを演奏してくれました。　
デザートは甘〜いアイス（写真）でした。

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.

The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.

We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.

The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.

We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.

All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.

悪天候でしたがスタッフの方々が気さくに話しかけていただき、非常に楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
また、野生のウミガメもこんなに近くで見ることはというような距離でした。
冬のハワイは、結構寒く防寒着は持って行った方が良いと思います。サンドバーには降り立ちましたが、シュノーケルは寒くて船内待機していました。参加された方の数名は、ウミガメと並んでシュノーケルを楽しめたようで、次は夏のハワイで再挑戦したいと思いました。

It takes just under an hour to arrive from Waikiki using Uber.

I participated with my family (ages 7 to 70). It was the 7-year-old's first time horse trekking, but the horse was very well-behaved and responded well to the reins. Along the course, there were cows and birds, and unfamiliar flowers were blooming, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and relaxed conversation while taking in the sights. Photography and video recording are allowed, and since the pace is slow, it's definitely possible.

On the day we participated, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but all the staff were very kind, and we could communicate well through expressions and gestures. Large luggage can be stored at the reception, and you can participate while carrying a small crossbody bag. They take photos along the way, but you can download them later for a fee. The restroom with running water was clean, but it was unfortunate that there was no soap at the handwashing station.

There were dogs running freely, and goats and cows that you could feed, making the waiting time enjoyable.

ワイキキからUber利用で1時間弱で到着します。

家族(7歳〜70歳)で参加しました。7歳は初めてのホーストレッキングでしたが馬がお利口で手綱指示にしっかり応えてくれました。コースの途中で牛や鳥がいたり見慣れない花が咲いていて、それを見ながら会話できる位のんびりと安心して楽しめました。写真動画撮影は自由です。ゆっくり進むので充分可能です。

参加した日は日本語が通じる方は居ませんでしたが、スタッフ全員とても親切で表情とジェスチャーで充分通じます。大きな荷物は受付で預かってもらえ、斜めかけバッグ程度は持ったまま参加できました。途中で写真を撮ってくれますが後で有料ダウンロードです。水栓のトイレは綺麗でしたが手洗い場に石鹸が無いのが残念でした。

犬が自由に走り回っていたりヤギや牛がいてエサを買ってあげられるので待ち時間も楽しめました。

The sandbar trip was so fun. My husband and I had a great time. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and the boat is clean. The lunch was great and we overall had an amazing time. We would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone either as a couples trip or as a family trip. I think it’s great for all ages.

It was really disappointing to have my first rainy day in Hawaii, but I did my best to climb. The waterfall with its drop was impressive! ☺️ The sandwich and acai bowl for lunch were delicious! ⤴️

ハワイ来てはじめての雨の一日で本当に残念でしたでも頑張って登りました落差のある滝見応え有りました☺️昼食のサンドイッチ、アサイボール美味しかったです～⤴️

We did the advanced ride which allows for trotting and cantering in some spots on the way up the trail for more experienced riders. It was an amazing experience and we were pleasantly surprised with the diversity of the trail and how many times we were allowed to canter for stretches of trail where it's safe to do so. Our guide was on top of everything and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

I had imagined Sandbar to be a sandy beach like in the pictures, but it was just a shallow area, which was disappointing. Also, the hamburger lunch was small and not very tasty. Until now, all the tours I participated in Hawaii were very satisfying, but this time I was disappointed for the first time.

サンドバーは写真のような砂浜をイメージしていましたが、単なる浅瀬で、がっかりしました。またハンバーガーランチは小さく味もイマイチでした。
今まで参加したハワイのツアーはとても満足のいくものばかりでしたが、今回初めてがっかりしました。

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.

When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!

Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!

Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.

I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

I wasn't sure which restaurant to choose, so having this kind of guidance was helpful. The food was delicious as well.

どこの店を選べば良いか分からなかったので、こういう案内があると助かります。
食事も美味しかったです。

It was a kayak-only rental, but the relaxed atmosphere of being able to freely use snorkeling gear and bicycles until closing time was fantastic. I even encountered a sea turtle while kayaking, which was amazing! Transporting the kayak to the sea was quite challenging.

カヤックのみのレンタルでしたが、閉店までシュノーケルや自転車など自由に使って良いなどゆったりした感じが最高でした。
カヤックではウミガメにも遭遇できて最高でした！
カヤックを海まで運ぶのが結構大変でした。

Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.

However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.

During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.

After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.

生憎の雨模様でかなり寒く、ほとんどの人がサンドバーでは少し海に入って遊ぶだけでした。

ただ、自然のことですし、ハワイは12月が雨季ということで仕方がないですね。

海亀ウォッチングでは、多くの海亀を船上から見つけることができました。

その後、シュノーケリング。珊瑚礁の周りを魚が多く泳いでおり、いい経験になりました。願わくば次は夏のより暖かい季節に訪れたいと思います。

We had a great time, the views were beautiful and the burger lunch was surprisingly delicious!

The staff were very friendly and provided great tips on what to explore around the area.

We participated with two friends and two 3-year-olds, making a total of six people.

It was a fun cruise accompanied by cheerful music. Depending on the day, it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. We were able to see many dolphins, and both adults and children were very excited.

Although it was my first time participating in dolphin watching and snorkeling, my friends, who have been multiple times, said it was a relatively relaxed tour and snorkeling experience. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to enjoy floating while being held and was happily watching the underwater world with the snorkeling mask we brought.

When we participated, it seemed there were no Japanese speakers, but we were treated kindly, which made us feel at ease.

友人夫婦と3歳児2人、合わせて6人で参加しました。

陽気な音楽ともに楽しいクルージングでした。
日によるかもしれませんが、乗り物酔いに弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかもしれません。
イルカも沢山見ることが出来き、大人も子供達も大興奮でした。

投稿者はドルフィンウォッチングやシュノーケリングは初参加でしたが、複数回経験のある友人夫婦は比較的のんびりとしたツアーやシュノーケリングだと言っていました。
3歳の娘も抱えられながら気持ちよさそうに浮いたり、持参した水中箱メガネで楽しそうに海中を眺めていました。

私達が参加した時は日本語を話せる方はみえなかったようですが、親切に接して頂けたので安心しました。

So much fun. the bbq burgers were good. The 1st stop is not worth it to snorkel, not much to see, just enjoy the sandbar and the volleyball. the 2nd spot was good snorkeling b/c it was at a reef. Don't swim over top of it though. just around it. you can make it all the way around it with plenty of time to spare. It was very fun. The water was a little cold, but not too bad but thats probably because I went the week of Thanksgiving. They give you the gear you need, my suggestion is to fit the mask before you get down to the water. they give you full foot fins to use. The crew was super helpful and really nice. I definitely recommend!!

Perfect pick up bus ride in AM just about 50ft from ilikai hotel , make sure you have copy print out voucher proof of purchase to show driver , bus ride about an hour ride to Kaneohe Bay , there were two boats , one Japanese speaking , boat ride wonderfully exhilarating around Kaneohe Bay to sandbar spot , perfect weather on sandbar volleyball play , grilled burgers with toppings and sides tasty with having second servings offered , kids and family members had a blast snorkeling at barrier reef spot lots of fish and sea life , boat ride back to dock saw many sea turtle’s swimming above water nature at its best !!! Staff and boat Captain , Fun , Funny , and HelpFul !!! Will recommend & do again in future

I used this service for my honeymoon. We started by going out to sea on a boat, first heading to the sandbar where we enjoyed beach volleyball, snorkeling practice, and taking photos. After that, we had hamburgers on the boat and moved to a snorkeling spot.

The luggage could be stored under the seats on the boat. Since you'll be getting wet when taking towels or accessing your belongings after coming out of the water, I recommend bringing a bag that can get wet. For changing, I wore my swimsuit underneath, so I stored the clothes I wore on the boat under the seat. A bag that can hold clothes without getting them wet would be ideal.

The water at the sandbar was waist-deep, and I had a great time. The color of the water clearly distinguished between the sandbar and the deeper areas, which made it easy to enjoy. The crew really pumped up the excitement during beach volleyball, making it a lot of fun. The hamburgers were delicious and served BBQ style. Soft drinks were unlimited as part of the tour fee, while alcohol was $8 per drink, and those who had drinks settled their bills at the end of the tour.

We were able to see many sea turtles and mantas during our travels. It seems that mantas might not be visible at certain times, so we were lucky to see them twice. We snorkeled near the coral and saw many beautifully colored fish. Although I didn't see any, some people did spot turtles. The crew's explanation of snorkeling was very easy to understand, so even beginners will be fine.

After getting off the boat, we had to return to it on our own, so I think it's safer for anyone not confident in their stamina to wear a life jacket to enjoy the experience without worry. After returning from snorkeling, the crew pours warm water over you. There are no changing rooms or showers after the tour, so it's a good idea to quickly change in the restroom before it gets cold or to wrap yourself in a thicker towel.

ハネムーンで利用しました。
船で海に出て最初はサンドバーへ行き、ビーチバレーや、シュノーケリングの練習、写真撮影等楽しみました。そのあと船の上でハンバーガーを食べ、シュノーケリングスポットに移動しました。
荷物は船の座席の下に収納できるようになっていました。
海から上がってきて濡れた状態でタオルをとったり荷物を出し入れするので濡れてもいいカバンを持って行くのがいいと思います。
着替えは下に水着を着て行くので船の上で着ていた服を脱いで席の下に収納します。濡れないように服も入れられる大きさのカバンがいいと思います。
サンドバーは水面が腰あたりでしたがとても楽しめました。水の色がサンドバーのところと深いところとはっきりわかれているので安心して楽しめました。
ビーチバレーはクルーの方がとても盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーはBBQスタイルで美味しかったです。
ソフトドリンクはツアーの料金内で飲み放題、アルコールは1杯8ドルで飲んだ方はツアーの最後にまとめてお会計されていました。
移動中にウミガメやマンタをたくさん見ることができました。
マンタは時期によっては見れないこともあるそうで2回も見れてラッキーとのことでした。
シュノーケリングはサンゴの近くに行って行いました。
キレイな色のお魚がたくさん見れました。
私は見れませんでしたがカメが見れた人もいました。
クルーの方のシュノーケリングの説明はとてもわかりやすかったので初めてでも大丈夫です。
船から出てからは自分たちで船に戻らないといけないので体力に自信がある方以外はライフジャケットを着た方が安心して楽しめると思います。
シュノーケリングから戻ったらクルーの方が温かいお湯を上からかけてくれます。
終了後更衣室やシャワー室はないので寒くなる前にトイレ等でささっと着替えるか上から厚めのバスタオルを羽織るといいと思います。

It was a very fun atmosphere! It was a bit cold, and we ended up leaving early, but they gave us warm cocoa and poured hot water on us, which helped ease the chill a bit! We also got to see sea turtles and manta rays! It was enjoyable to see small fish up close too! It turned out to be a great honeymoon! Thank you! Lastly, there was a tip box at the end, so it felt like we should put in a little something.

とても楽しい雰囲気でよかった！少し寒くて、はやめにあがってしまったけど、暖かいココアくれたり、お湯をかけてくれたりしてくれて、少し寒さ軽減！
ウミガメもみれて、マンタ？もみれました！
小さい魚も近くで見れて楽しかった！
良いハネムーンになりまた！ありがとうございますした！
最後にtipをはらう箱があったので、気持ちほど入れてくださいって感じでした！

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

マノアの滝に向かう道は勾配があったけど、ガイドのアノイさんが適度に休憩してくれて、フォトスポットでは芸術的な写真を撮ってくれて大満足のツアーでした。とても楽しめました。またタンタラスで食べたサンドイッチも美味しくてとてもお得なツアーだと思います。次回はこちらの違うアクティビティに参加したいと思いました。
ただ、ツアー前にツアー会社で買ったブレスレットが翌日壊れてしまったので⭐︎4つにしました。気に入ったデザインだったのでとても残念です。

It was my family's first time visiting Oahu Hawaii AND our first time riding horseback. And what a way to lose our horseback riding virginity! The Ranch was amazing, our guides were amazing and there's even a little petting Zoo that you can feed the goats while you wait for your tour to commence. Highly recommended!

We loved this tour! We saw SO MUCH all in one day! The morning view at the Blowhole is worth getting up early! We were treated to an extra exciting Honu (turtle) sighting! The North Shore area is still a beautiful gem on the island, quintessential Hawaii. The Temple and Waimea Falls were welcome peaceful hideaways, away from the Honolulu city vibe. The surrounding mountains are majestic! We learned quite a lot about Hawaiian history and culture. We tasted SO MANY Hawaiian delicious delights- Leonard’s masadas, North Shore shrimp, macadamia nuts, fresh farm fruits, Matsuto’s shave ice, Dole Whip! My mouth is watering,

Hawaii weather is perfect! Sure there is a little rain, but the rainbows afterwards are so beautiful!

The bus is comfortable. We didn’t have to deal with driving or finding parking. Our tour guide was an excellent driver!

Our tour guide also shared some beautiful personal stories of his life and family in Hawaii. My girls were especially touched by his pineapple farming memories.

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.

I received a cancellation notice because the Japanese tour didn't meet the minimum number of participants, but I joined in with an English guide and it was quite fun! I laughed a lot.

The guide talked non-stop like a radio DJ, but I got used to it surprisingly well. Since I'm in a foreign country, this is also acceptable! He spoke to us in slow English, which was nice.

It was raining at Manoa Falls, but the weather was actually quite nice for feeling the essence of Hawaii. The greenery was more vibrant, and the sound of the waterfall was very refreshing.

The ocean is great, but the mountains are nice too.

P.S. I actually participated in a trial tour with Lucky Man, the owner of this tour, four years ago. It's a shame that it seems to no longer exist, but I really enjoyed having a guide who wasn't just focused on tourism. I had hoped to see him again, but it's unfortunate.

　日本人ツアーが定員満たずキャンセルの連絡がきましたが、英語のガイドで楽人に交じって参加。。。。結構面白かったです！大爆笑。
　ラジオのDJを聞いているようにしゃべりっぱなしのガイドでしたが、耳になじんで意外といけました。一応外国に来ているんだからこれもありです！
私たちへの問いかけはゆっくり目の英語にしてくれました。（笑）
　マノアの滝は雨でしたがハワイを感じるの実はなかなかよい天候（笑）緑がより緑で滝の音ととても新鮮です。
　海もいいけど山もよいですね。
　追伸、このツアーのオーナーのラッキーマンに実は4年前にトライアルツァーに参加。。。もうないみたいで残念でしたが、観光じゃないガイドがとてもよかたです。（笑）また、お会いしたいと思っていましたが、残念でした。

A waterproof case is essential for taking photos and videos. It's also better to use a neck strap. There was someone in the same group who dropped their smartphone into the sea while it was in their pocket. The guide searched for it that day but couldn't find it, and they mentioned they would look for it again during tomorrow's tour, but it's unclear if it was found.

The tour was satisfying. There were two boats, and we were divided into English and Japanese groups. First, we practiced snorkeling at the sandbar. The sandbar was about waist-deep for adults. After that, we drove the boat through an area where sea turtles live. We were able to see about five sea turtles, and it was great to see them come up to the surface. Finally, we put on fins and flotation devices and swam around the coral. With the flotation devices, there was no worry about sinking, and it was nice to see tropical fish.

For lunch, we had hamburgers after swimming at the sandbar. The meat was large, flavorful, and delicious. The hamburger tasted especially good after swimming.

写真や動画を取るために防水ケースは必須。
また、首掛けタイプにしたほうがいいです。
同じ組にポケットにいれて、スマホを海中に落とされた方がいらしたので。
当日ガイドが探したが見つからず、ガイドの方が明日のツアー中にも探すと言ってましたが、見つかったかは不明。

ツアーは満足。
船は２隻で英語組と日本語組に分かれてツアーをしました。
まず初めにサンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習。
サンドバーは大人で腰くらいの高さ。
そのあと船を走らせウミガメがすんでるところを通ります。
ウミガメは5頭ぐらい見れて、首を海面に出すとこも見れてよかった。
最後に足ひれと浮き具を着てサンゴの周りを泳ぎます。
浮き具があるので、沈む心配はないし、熱帯魚も見れてよかった。

昼食はサンドバーで泳いだ後にハンバーガーをいただきました。
肉が大きくて味もしっかりしていておいしかった。
泳いだ後のハンバーガーはおいしく感じます。
