Oahu
We had a great time! We had everything explained to us very well numerous times. Very nice sand bar. Snorkeling was great! We were able to see many sea turtles. Great lunch. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
On my first trip to Hawaii, I joined the tour without even knowing where Kailua was, but I really feel like I was fortunate to find such a great tour!
The shuttle bus comes very close to the hotel where we were staying. Upon arrival, we were divided between Japanese and English staff, which made things very easy. You can rent beach mats and snorkeling goggles, and the detailed explanation regarding valuables really gave me peace of mind. Each person is assigned a locker, and they also provided advice on what to bring to the beach.
Lunch tickets were distributed on the day, and we could choose one from three different restaurants. There was pizza, BBQ, and another option I can't remember, but it was nice to have choices from multiple genres.
We spent the first two and a half hours at the beach, and after having lunch, we went to the town center and stopped by Lanikai Juice. We had about four hours of free time, and it was quite enjoyable!
I wasn't able to thank the shuttle driver (a Japanese man) on the way there, so I wanted to express my gratitude here. Thank you very much. The other staff members were also friendly and attentive. I would definitely like to use this service again!
初めてのハワイ旅行で、カイルアがどこかも知らずに参加しましたが、本当に良いツアーに巡り会えたなと思います!
送迎バスは泊まっているホテルにとても近いところまで来てくださいます。
到着すると日本語スタッフさんと英語スタッフさんで分かれ、案内して頂くのでとても楽でした。
ビーチで使うござマットやシュノーケルのゴーグルなどレンタルできますし、何より貴重品に関する説明が詳しくて本当に安心できます。
ロッカーがひとりひとり割り当てられ、ビーチに何を持ってくべきかもアドバイスして頂きました。
ランチは当日チケットが配られ、3つのお店から1つ選んでオーダーする形でした。
ピザ、BBQ、あともう一つ忘れてしまったのですが、複数のジャンルから選べるのはよかったです。
私たちははじめの2時間半ほどビーチで過ごして、お昼ご飯を食べたあと、街の中心部に行ってラニカイジュースに寄ってきました。
4時間くらいの自由時間で、かなり満喫できました!
行きの送迎ドライバーさん(日本人の男性の方)にお礼をお伝えできなかったので、こちらにて書かせていただきます。
どうもありがとうございました。
他のスタッフさん達もフレンドリーで丁寧に対応して頂きました。
次もまた利用したいです!
I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales. However, the tour had a Japanese guide whose Japanese was written in romaji on the script, and they were reading it in broken Japanese. I wonder which country the guide is from. When I asked a question, they said, "I don't understand." With this level of quality, a Japanese guide was unnecessary.
イルカもクジラも見えて満足。
但し、日本語ガイド付きのツアーで、案内の日本語が、原稿にローマ字が書いてあって、カタコトの日本語で、読み上げている状態。何処の国のガイドなのか。
質問すると『ワタシ ワカリマセン』と言われた。
このクオリティなら日本語ガイドは必要無かった。
I attended with my mother. My mother, who is in her 50s, was very pleased with the content of the show. It was heartwarming to see the hula dancer providing services like holding and taking pictures with guests who had small children during the waiting time.
母と二人で参加しました。
50代母がショーの内容に非常に喜んでいました。
待ち時間にフラのお姉さん?が、小さな子連れのお客さんに抱っこや写真のサービスをしていたのが見ていて微笑ましかったです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どももとても嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
My husband and I had a great time! Cousin K was awesome!
In February, it's winter in Hawaii, so it gets a bit chilly when the wind blows, and I brought a hoodie with me. Since I went in the morning, maybe because of the tide, the seawater was up to my thighs, and it was quite windy, so it was cold. But it was incredibly beautiful! I encountered both sea turtles and manta rays. The sandwich was delicious! I want to go again!
2月はハワイも冬なのですこし風が吹くと肌寒く、パーカーを持って行きました。
午前に行ったから?潮の引き具合で、海水が腿の付け根くらいまであって、風も結構強かったので寒かったです~
けど、すご~く綺麗でした!
ウミガメにもマンタにも遭遇出来ましたよ
サンドイッチが美味しかったです!
また行きたいな~~
I love dinner cruises and have been on quite a few over the years, so I knew I had to go during this visit to Hawaii. We chose the One Star since we love crab and love AYCE crab even more!
Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep our plates full of crab, our glasses filled with drinks and would let us know when the sunset would be.
The show was fun, and the musicians are top notch! Although the weather did not cooperate, I will definitely go back again!
We booked for 10 people, but there were no other passengers, so it was a private charter. We enjoyed the leisurely flow of time, the bright blue sky, and the emerald sea while sipping cocktails. Additionally, we were thrilled to see a whale spouting about 200 meters away! The cruiser staff were very friendly, but one small disappointment was that the meeting place was different. It was supposed to be at the pier, but when we arrived on time, we found the reception area at the edge of the hotel building.
10名で申し込みましたが、他に乗船する方が無く、貸切でした。ゆったりと流れる時間と真っ青な空、エメラルドので海、カクテルを飲みながら満喫しました。さらに偶然200メートル位先に、クジラの潮吹きが見れ、とても感動しました!
クルーザーのスタッフはとても親切でよかったのですが、少しだけ残念だったのは集合場所が違っていたことです。桟橋との事で時間までに行ったらホテル建物の端に受付スペースが有ってそちらでした。
I arrived in Hawaii and the next day experienced flying a plane. The following day, we chartered a car to explore from land, and while joking with my family about sightseeing from the sky and land, we made a reservation for the sea at midnight, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out the reservation was successful. We arrived at the meeting point during the day and boarded the boat. I had prepared for getting completely soaked from the splashes of the waves, but there were no waves at all, just a calm sea, and we saw the tail of a whale a couple of times. The view of Waikiki from the sea is special and worth experiencing. If I had to complain, it would be that the operator took time to line up each group for photos before boarding the boat for their business purposes. The goal was to sell the developed photos when disembarking after the cruise, but I thought they should limit that to only those who wanted it. I didn't like their selfishness and had no intention of buying the photos when getting off.
ハワイに到着し、次の日に飛行機操縦体験をし、その次の日は車をチャーターし陸から、そして家族と冗談で空と陸から観光的たので次は海かという話をしながら夜中予約を入れたが朝起きてみたら予約成功。昼間集合場所に着いて船に乗る。波のしぶきで全身濡れるという体験談を見たのでその覚悟で服を用意し乗り込んだが波が全くなく穏やかな海、鯨の尻尾も二回くらい見えた。海から見るワイキキの景色は特別で体験する価値あり。不満を言えば催行者側が商売のために船に乗る前グループ毎に並ばせて写真撮るのに時間かかったこと。クルーズが終わって降りる際に現像した写真を売るのが目的だがそんなもの希望する人だけに絞ればいいのにと思った。その彼らの自分勝手が気にいらず降りる時その写真を買う気なんかしなかった。
I participated on February 15th. We were able to see parent and child whales, but more than anything, the silence while waiting for the whales really enhanced the atmosphere. The English announcements on the ship also did a great job of building excitement.
2/15日に参加しました
親子の鯨を見る事が出来ましたが何より鯨を待つ間の静寂が雰囲気を盛り上げていました。船内の英語の放送も上手く盛り上げてくれました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船いただき誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私ども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、是非ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I attended the Three Star Lobster and Steak Dinner Cruise and I must say I was amazed at the customer service provided. Being on board with 1,000 passengers, the waiters and staffs did an amazing job with serving each guest on time. Our waitress was a doll, I believe Larissa is her name. The view of the sunset, and Diamond Head was breath taking. This tour is a must if you want to experience Paradise away from the city.
Saw everything and had a FABULOUS tour bus driver that explained everything to us as we went and we learned so much about Hawaii and the entire area.... thoroughly enjoyed it!
Be careful when selecting which type of meal you like because family members don't get to sit together if you eat something different. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time!
十分楽しかった。元々食事を期待しての参加では無く、ロブスターやヒレ肉は当然無しのバフェでしたが十分食事を楽しめた。5人家族、子供達も全員成人の構成です。
スタッフは一生懸命楽しませてくれたし、男性歌手はまずまずのエンタテイナーです。
たまたまですが、雲の全くない日で海に落ちる夕日は最高。狙ったとおり金曜の晩のヒルトンの花火も盛り上がりました。
毎年訪れるハワイでの10年ぶりのサンセットディナークルーズでしたが、なかなかバカにしたものではありません。おすすめします。
この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございます。
サンセットや花火をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。
綺麗なサンセットのお写真も掲載して頂き有難うございました。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

The Pearl Harbor Heroes Adventure Tour brings a key pages from the 20th Century history to life. It is a excellent tour for people who have deep interest in history and those whose only brush with history is at the movies. The tour covers all the key points of interest at Pearl Harbor including the USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. Although it is a full day you will not have time to view all the sites in detail. One recommendation, tour the USS Bowfin before you venture in to the museum as you will not have time to do both. Overall this was money well spent and will probably do it again next time I visit Hawaii.
The staff on this cruise were very respectful and down to earth. They wanted to make sure you were comfortable at every moment. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone, Any age. When we decide to visit Hawaii again in a few years this be on our to do list. I cant remember their names, But the man that played the guitar while we were on the sand bar was awesome. Def a people person with a big heart.
We had a lovely time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was execelent. The host & entertainment made for a fun evening.
My girlfriend and I had a fabulous trip going out to turtle Canyon snorkel and then sailing afterwards, the crew was very professional and courteous
When I looked in the direction I was told, I caught a glimpse of the tail fin. Next, I saw a spout of water and a glimpse of its back. I hope to see it jump someday.
いたよー、と言われた方向を見ると、尾びれがちらりと見えました。次は、プシューッという潮吹きと背中がちらりと見えました。いつかジャンプする姿を見たいものです。。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. On certain days, you can observe active whales. We hope you will come back to search for those whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
日によってはアクティブなクジラを観測する事ができます。
是非またそんなクジラを探しにいらして下さい。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

First off we got to ride on a double decker bus with Christmas lights strung on the roof which was not expected because of the title. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. The trolley picked up me and my girlfriend in Waikiki and took us through down town honolulu to see Christmas lights that you probably wouldn't park and walk to look at. The driver also acted as a tour guide talking on the speaker about the history of some of the buildings. Then we circled through to the big Santa and Mrs. Claus statue and the bus dropped us off for half an hour to walk around. Got picked up and dropped off at the same location we started off. No complaints at all.
Mahalo for your review. I agree! The Waikiki Trolley is a convenient way to see the Honolulu City Lights and Honolulu Hale during the holidays. We're glad you had a great time. Hope to see you again next year. Aloha!
The crew were very pleasant and helpful, somewhat informative. Drinks were available to anyone who wanted them that early in the morning, and there were many who did. Unfortunately,only a few tails sighted. Boat/captain only went about 3 miles out, where every other boat had gone to whale watch - and no one had any luck. I'm guessing a combination of too many boats, too much noise, and the slight delay in migration everyone talked about b/c of el Nino.
I visited Kauai after going to Maui and Hawaii Island. My main purpose was to see Waimea Canyon. I participated in a tour thinking I could experience the same excitement I felt when I visited the Grand Canyon last September. It was unfortunate that I couldn't go to the Na Pali Coast due to time constraints. It was nice to leisurely explore Kauai by bus. Waimea Canyon was very beautiful and clearly visible since the weather was nice. The guide, an energetic lady who didn't seem to show her age, talked non-stop throughout the day, which I found impressive. I learned for the first time that there is Blue Mountain Coffee in Kauai, and I bought some immediately. The sample I tried was very delicious, so I'm looking forward to drinking it in Japan.
マウイ島、ハワイ島は行ったのでカウアイ島へ観光に行ってきました。一番の目的はワイメア渓谷を見る事。去年9月にグランドキャニオンへ行ったので、あの感激を味わえるかと思ってツアーに参加した。ナ・パリ・コーストは時間が無いので行く事は出来ないのが残念であった。のんびりカウアイ島をバスで巡る事が出来良かった。ワイメア渓谷は晴れて良く見えたので大変良かった。ガイドのおばさまは年を感じさせない元気な方で、1日中喋りまくっていたのは感心した。カウアイ島にブルーマウンテンコーヒーがあるのを始めて知り、即、買った。試飲したのは大変美味しかったので、日本で飲むのが楽しみである。
Thank you very much for your help this time!
Fortunately, the weather was clear, the water depth was shallow, and it became a great memory!
I would love to go again during the full moon's high tide...
Thank you to everyone who guided us so enjoyably!
今回は大変お世話になりました!
運良く快晴で、水深も浅く、いい思い出になりました!
満月の満ち潮のときに、また行ってみたいものです…。
楽しくガイドしてくださった皆様ありがとうございました!
My husband and I really enjoyed this cruise. The food was excellent and the sunset was beautiful. I just wish it could have been longer.
This was a great excursion. Saw lots of whales, food was great, fun activities, great crew.
3 whales about 100 yards away. I wish I could post some whale pictures.
I participated in a morning tour with a friend. The sandbar we aimed for had water levels up to about knee height since it was in the morning. I was impressed that the guide took photos for us without other people in the background.
As for snorkeling, we followed a designated course back and forth. There were many people, and it was quite crowded, so those with snorkeling experience might want to manage their expectations. Also, the shuttle bus had strong air conditioning, so I recommend wearing a hoodie or something similar.
午前中に終わるツアーに友人と2人で参加しました。
目的のサンドバーは午前中ということもあり、膝上くらいまで水位がありました。ガイドさんが他の人が写らないように写真を撮ってくださったのが印象的でした。
シュノーケルについては、決められたコースを往復しました。人が多く、行列状態で他の人とぶつかったりもするので、シュノーケル経験のある方はあまり期待しない方がいいと思います。
あと、送迎バスが結構冷房が効いてて寒かったのでパーカー等羽織って行く方がいいと思います。
Unlike the dolphin snorkeling activity from the day before yesterday, I was surprised to participate in this super beginner-friendly marine experience. The sandbar, just a few centimeters deep, was beautiful and perfect for taking photos. However, this tour, which ends in the morning, was a bit lacking in snorkeling. It felt like a guided exploration of the coral edges with a vibe similar to an elementary school camp. If you choose a plan that includes lunch, it seems there’s also some free snorkeling time at a different location. While it's appealing to return to Waikiki by noon, if you're focused on snorkeling, I recommend opting for the lunch barbecue option.
前々日のイルカのシュノーケリングのアクティビティと違い、超初心者用のマリン体験にびっくりしながら参加。膝上数センチのサンドバーは綺麗で写真を撮るには最高。ただし、午前中で終わるこのツアーは、シュノーケリングが、今ひとつ。まるで小学生の林間学校的なガイドの引率でサンゴの縁を探索するが、今ひとつ。昼食付きのプランだと、もう少し違う場所で自由なシュノーケリングの時間もあるらしい。昼にはワイキキに帰られるのは魅力だが、シュノーケリング重視で参加するなら、昼のバーベキュー付きをお勧めする。
We had a great day along with our 2 year old daughter
Saw whales quite a few times along with some calves
Even the boat ride was great to get in the views
Taking a camera is a must
It's a shame that I couldn't experience the beach in its full glory, perhaps due to the timing. On the other hand, it was incredibly lucky to see sea turtles. I want to participate again next time! It was fun.
本当は砂浜が浮き出ててる状態で体験出来なかったのが残念、時期的に不可能だったから?
その代りにウミガメが見れたのが最高にラッキーでした。次の機会にもう一度
参加したい!、楽しかった
