Oahu
I had a great time being together with people from abroad. The guide seemed to understand a little Japanese, which made communication enjoyable. Above all, I think it's happy to share the time of enjoying the beautiful starry sky with those who love stars in Hawaii.
外国の方とも一緒になれて楽しかったです。ガイドの方は日本語も少しわかるようで楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。何より、Hawaiiで星が好きな方々と綺麗な星空を見て楽しむという時間を共有できることがhappyだと思います。
I think you should feel free to participate, as it's not that specialized.
それほど専門的というわけでもないので気楽に参加されてはどうかと思います。
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars!
On the day of the event, we started under dark clouds. The rain gradually intensified, but since it was an activity we were prepared to get dirty for, we ended up soaking wet. However, guided by a fantastic guide, it turned into an unforgettable and amazing buggy experience. Next time, I want to have a revenge under clear skies.
当日、暗雲立ちこめる中のスタート。
次第に雨は強まっていったが、もとは汚れることは覚悟のアクティビティ、ずぶ濡れになったが、素晴らしいガイドに導かれ思い出に残る最高のバギー体験となった。
次回は晴天の下のリベンジをしたい。
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。
If you're experiencing this in winter, I recommend bringing a jacket or a larger towel that you can wrap around yourself.
冬に体験されるなら、上着や羽織れる大きめのタオルを持参することをお勧めします。
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!
Since communication will primarily be in English on-site, I think you'll enjoy it more if you have a certain level of English proficiency!
現地では基本的には全て英語でのコミュニケーションになるため、ある程度英語ができると楽しめると思います!
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。
Since it's run by a non-profit organization, I think it's a good idea to donate any spare change you can't use during your trip to Hawaii (since the coin amounts can be hard to see, they tend to accum
非営利の団体が運営しているとの事で、ハワイ旅行で使いきれない小銭(コインの金額が見づらいため、いつのまにか増えてしまう)はここで寄付するのが良いと思います。
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.
Improve the microphone and speaker system in the UTV's .
Make sure city bus drivers are focused.
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.
One important tip is to eat a good breakfast before you go. Once you start visiting everything, you
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!
アユ様:5つ星のレイティングありがとうございます!楽しんでいただけたようでなによりです。弊社のカヌーキャプテンは日本語は出来ませんが、カヌーの漕ぎ方などは片言で教えております。今まで各国から英語のできないお客様が参加なさってきましたが、言葉が通じないためにアクティビティーを楽しめなかったという問題は一切ございません。またのお越しをお待ちしております!
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.
Aloha Omaha Grandma,
Thank you for a kind of comment and 5-star review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyded our sandbar tour.
Hope to see you again soon.

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!
They provide snorkeling gear. You can take off your shoes to get on the boat, so marine shoes are not necessary. It gets cold after snorkeling, so it's better to have one towel per person. Changing cl

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.
Thank you for joining our tour. Hawaii has experienced continued bad weather this year, and there have been occasions when the horseback riding tour had to be canceled due to weather conditions. We sincerely apologize regarding the amount of time spent at Dole Plantation. We have reconfirmed the schedule with the driver to help prevent this from happening again. Please note that the stop in Haleiwa Town is part of tour itinerary. We understand that it may not have matched your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback.
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。
I recommend going to Magic on rainy days.
雨の日はマジックに行くのがおすすめです。
We had an amazing time. Everyone was super friendly, easy to navigate. Would love to come back again!
Aloha KI,
Thank you for you amazing revies. We are so happy that you had a great time with us. We are looking forward to seeing you again soon.

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。
アロハ、とても素敵なレビューをありがとうございます!
日本語で安心してお過ごしいただけたとのこと、私たちにとって何より嬉しいお言葉です。イルカやホヌ、そしてホエールまでご覧いただけたなんて、本当に特別な体験になりましたね。海でのシュノーケルやウォーター滑り台も思いきり楽しんでいただけたようで安心しました。
スタッフのフラショーにも感動していただけて、「ハワイらしさ」を感じていただけたことをとても嬉しく思います。ランチについてもお褒めいただきありがとうございます。
またハワイにいらっしゃる際には、ぜひ遊びにいらしてください。スタッフ一同、心よりお待ちしております。🌺
Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide
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.
悪路を砂ぼこりに塗れてバギーをコントロールしてると、すぐに絶景ポイントに到着。
ガイドさんから貰った冷たいミネラルウォーターを飲みながら絶景の説明を受ける。
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。
You might think that the goggles are unnecessary, but they could be essential. Also, trust the performance of the Made in Japan Kawasaki buggy and dare to challenge the bumps!
いらないかなって思ってたゴーグルは必要かも知れません。
後、Made in Japanカワサキのバギーの性能を信じて、敢えてデコボコにチャレンジしてみてください。
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。
In April, it can be a bit chilly, so it's essential to have something to wear over your clothes after coming out of the sea. Aqua shoes are also necessary.
4月はちょっと寒いので、海から上がったら羽織る物が必需品です。
アクアシューズも必要です。
Aloha しんたろう様
この度はKBOSのサンドバーツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。海亀が見れたのですね。良かったです。

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。
If you can enter as soon as check-in starts, you can get a good seat with a clear view at the front. Since the end time is 9 PM, it would be a good idea to have dinner before heading out.
チェックイン開始と同時に入場出来れば、正面の見やすい席が取れます。
終了時間が夜9時なので、夕食を済ませてからお出かけになると良いでしょう。
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。
Since it's Hawaii time, it's also our group's responsibility for planning at the last minute, but the driver is not punctual. They are selling flimsy plastic ponchos for $5 in the car. It would be fin
ハワイ時間なので、ギリギリで予定を立てた私たちグループの責任でもありますが、ドライバーが時間にルーズです。車の中でペラペラのビニールポンチョを5ドルで販売しています。事前に100均で準備すればok!!
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。

The magnificent scenery was truly wonderful! The reception staff were fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to participate in the activities. I had a great time!
雄大な景色がとても素晴らしかったです!
受付も日本語堪能な方が対応していただき、すんなりアクティビティに参加できました。
とても楽しかったです!
I took a semi-private lesson. It was my first time surfing, but the instructor's explanations were clear and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. I had a great time.
The staff at the shop running the school were also very friendly and approachable, which helped ease my initial nerves and allowed me to fully engage in the lesson. Additionally, thanks to the optional photo service, I was able to preserve my memories in a tangible way, so I’m glad I added that!
I would love to participate again! Thank you very much for this experience.
セミプライベートのレッスンを利用しました。
サーフィンは初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方の説明もわかりやすく親切で、とても楽しく参加することができました。
とてもいい経験をさせていただきました。
スクールを運営されているショップの方も、とても親しみやすく話しやすい雰囲気だったので、最初の緊張もすぐに解けてレッスンに臨むことができました。
また、オプションの写真のサービスのおかげで、思い出を形として残すことができたので、追加してよかったです♪
また参加したいです!
この度はどうもありがとうございました。
My wife and I have been here for the second time, but it was great to see our daughter enjoy it for the first time. She said it was the most fun two hours ever... as a father, that makes me feel amazing.
私と嫁は2回目でしたが初めての娘が喜んでくれて良かったです。こんな楽しい2時間は無かった…と言ってくれて父親としては最高です。
I might need thicker pads because my butt hurts.
