Oahu
It was an English tour, but it was not difficult, and I was able to participate happily. The time flew by in the air! Since you can enjoy Hawaiian activities in a short time, I recommend it for those who are short on time.
英語ツアーでしたが、難しいことはなく楽しく参加できました。上空ではあっという間の時間でした!
短時間でハワイらしいアクティビティができるので、時間のない方もおすすめです。
As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!
The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.
Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!
The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!
This was a very unique and amazing experience, definitely a must go if you're in Hawaii. Looking forward to going back again next month because it was that great of a tour!
Since there was only a local meeting point in the reservation details, I arranged for HANA TAX on my own in advance. I requested a meter fare, and the ride to the destination was charged normally by the meter. However, on the return trip, the meter was started at the beginning, but while I was sleeping, it was turned off, and I was charged the same amount as the outgoing trip upon arrival.
The main zip line experience initially had English support, but I filled out and signed a consent form in Japanese. We listened to the explanation for the zip line intended for Japanese participants and then started. We did six zip lines. The staff communicated in English, but it was not a problem if you couldn't converse; the important thing was that the staff used a translation app to assist us.
We started at 11:00 and finished around 13:00. If possible, I recommend wearing shoes that can get a little muddy, as they may get dirty.
現地集合しか予約内容がなかったので前もって、個人でHANA TAXを頼んで行きました。メーターでの依頼をしましたが、行きは普通にメーターでした。
帰りはスタート時メーターをスタートしましが私が寝てしまってる間にメーターを切られていて、到着先で行きと同じ金額を取られました。
メインのジップラインは最初英語での対応でしたが、日本語の承諾書を記入してサインをしました。
日本人用のジップラインの説明を聞いてスターしました。私達は6ラインのジップラインをしました。
スタッフは英語での会話ですが、会話ができなくても全然問題なく、大切な事はスタッフ様が通訳アプリで見せてくれました。
11時からスタートして終わったのが13時頃でした。
もし可能なら靴は少し泥がつくので汚れても良い靴をおすすめします。
This tour is very fun. Must have experience the tour moves very fast though the trials. I did this tip it last year had a different guide. Our tour guide was good. Wish he could have been more informative and more helpful with taking photos. I would recommend this tour for people that want a good workout. Not for seeing the sites.
I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, despite the very low cost. The photographer was very friendly and took a lot of pictures for me. Although it was an extra charge, I was thrilled to have them transferred to my smartphone.
とても安価にもかかわらず約10分堪能しました
カメラマン?はとても気さくな方で
いっぱい写真も撮って下さり別料金ですが
スマホに転送してもらえ感激です
I could see that the crew was doing their best to entertain the guests. The volleyball at the sandbar and the sea turtle watching were both fun (we saw more than 10 turtles). The hamburger made by the female captain was also delicious. The explanations from the Japanese crew were concise and easy to understand.
During the final snorkeling at the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. I even saw a dragonfish chasing other tropical fish at high speed!
The only downside for me was that it was cold. I had heard it would be chilly coming out of the sea, so I prepared extra towels and a jacket, but the water was quite cold too, and I ended up shivering. If I had stayed in the water and moved around more, it might have been better. Considering the occasionally cloudy weather and the fact that it was November, I suppose it can't be helped.
However, I was able to have a wonderful time in the Hawaiian sea for the first time. Thank you to all the crew!
クルー達が一生懸命客を楽しませようとしてくれてるのがわかった。
サンドバーでのバレーボールも゙ウミガメウォッチングも楽しかった。(10匹以上見られた。)女性キャプテンの焼いてくれたハンバーグのハンバーガーも美味しかった。日本人のクルーの説明も簡潔でわかりやすかった。
最後の珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルでは、たっくさんの魚を見ることができた。ドラゴンフィッシュが他の熱帯魚を猛スピードで追いかけてるのも゙見た!
私にとっての唯一の難点は寒かったこと。海からあがると寒いとは聞いてたので、予備のバスタオルとか上着とかを用意して行ったが、水の中も結構寒くてガタガタ震えてしまった。海からあがらないで、水の中でもっと動いてたら、マシだったかも。時々曇ったりする天気と11月という季節を考えたら、仕方ないかと思う。
でも、初めてのハワイの海で素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。クルーの皆さん、ありがとう!
The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.
The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.
The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.
For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.
The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.
All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.
Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.
Aloha Danielle, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy our tour. We shared your feedback with our crews, and we will discuss about better way to our customer satisfied (music, lunch and equipment etc.). They will make an effort to meet high expectations. When we check the boat, we couldn't find any wholes in ceiling tile. We do maintenance our boat and keep clean everyday but will do check more carefully. Mahalo for sharing your experience. - Team KBOS
We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!
家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます!
On the way to the point on a large boat, there was live ukulele music, and the service of drinks and lunch made it very comfortable. The canoe and SUP experiences were fun, and all the snorkeling equipment was provided, allowing us to enjoy without having to bring anything.
The day I went, the weather was bad with some rain, and it was cold without any sunshine, so there were few people in the water until the very end. However, the ukulele performance on the boat kept us entertained, so I was satisfied with this service. The warm drink service to warm up my chilled body was also a nice touch.
If the weather had been good, I think I could have enjoyed the breathtaking scenery, but that depends on luck. One complaint I have is that the parking lot at the port is not very large. I happened to find a spot, but I think those who came by rental car would have trouble if there were no available spaces.
大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。
天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。
The weather in Hawaii can be changeable; there are warm days, but unfortunately, when the weather turns, it can get cold. Regardless of the weather conditions, we aim to provide tours that everyone can enjoy. Thank you for participating in the tour and sharing your experience. From all of us at KBOS.
ハワイの天気は変わりやすく暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。天候の善し悪しにかかわらず皆様が楽しんで頂けるようなツアーを催行していきたいと考えております。この度はツアーへのご参加、体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
The waves were high enough for surfing, and the water was murky, so I couldn't see a single fish. It was cold due to the strong wind, making it tough to stay on the beach.
I spent about 13,000 yen on the tour and entrance fee to go snorkeling, so I wish they would allow cancellations or not operate on days with such poor conditions. I was really disappointed.
サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。
ツアー代と入場料で約13000円かけてシュノーケルしに行っているので、海がこんなコンディションの日は催行しないかキャンセルを選択できるようにしてほしいです。本当にガッカリでした。
Captain and crew made this trip very enjoyable. The ship was top notch and fun to sail on.
Swimming with the turtles was a blast and the sailing around Waikiki afterwards made for a super fun trip. Definitely will be back!
Since all five members of the group, with an average age of 70, were first-timers, we decided to start with three zip lines. Two of the members were afraid of heights (laughs) and hesitated to go to the site, but once we confirmed the safety of the equipment and started on the first line, their fear disappeared. They even had the leisure to take great photos, and we captured wonderful memories of our exhilarating first zip line experience. Next time, we will challenge ourselves with six lines.
平均年齢70歳の5人組で全員が初体験だったので、今回はまず3本に挑戦。
メンバーの内二人は高所恐怖症(笑)で現地へ行くのにも躊躇していたにもかかわらず、装具の安全性が確認でき1本スタートしたとたんに恐怖心はどこへやら、写真をバッチリ写す余裕もでて皆が爽快に滑り降りる素敵なジップライン初体験の記念写真が取れました。次回は6本に挑戦します。
My husband and I have vacationed in Hawaii for several years but this was one of the best experiences we’ve had! Great experience and we got to drive our own car! Highly recommend!
This experience was the best my husband & I had. Beautiful scenic tour to do if you can as a once in a lifetime to see the natural beauty of the Island. Our tour guides Moana & Ku ulei were awesome. They gave us quite an experience through the dirt roads and small rocky creeks. The few stops we did were excellent to see & hear about. It's not all just about the movies made there, but to hear the history blew my mind. I would definitely do this tour again & if I had more time do some of the others. I give it a 10 in my book of things to plan for an activity.
WOW such an amazing experience! The staff was so kind, hospitable, and caring. The live music was amazing. The activities were so fun. Thank you to the team for a beautiful experience!!
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
I took my 13 year old and we had a blast. There’s something to do for everyone. I highly recommend the bumper boats.
Mahalo for your review! Yes, there really is something for everyone to do at the sandbar. -Team KBOS
I was a bit anxious because the pickup bus took a long time to arrive. The guide who showed up after the scheduled time directed us to a bus that had been parked a distance away for over 20 minutes, so I wonder if the guide was late? We also had to wait a bit for the return bus, so while the tour was good, the bus experience was a bit lacking.
The tour provided guidance in Japanese, and the staff were very friendly to the little kids, which made it enjoyable for everyone! The sandbar was about waist to chest deep, and my 11-month-old was able to have their first experience in the ocean with a float. The hamburgers on the boat were also very delicious, and we saw several sea turtles swimming from the boat! The snorkeling area was larger than I expected; my husband went around the whole area, but I was scared, so I enjoyed snorkeling nearby, and I was still able to see many fish and corals. They kindly taught us how to snorkel, and if you’re not a strong swimmer, they provided flotation devices.
The weather was nice, so I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and had a fulfilling day.
ピックアップのバスが中々来なくて少し不安になりました。時間を過ぎて現れた案内人が案内してくれたバスは20分以上前から離れたところに停まっていたため、案内人が遅れていたのかな?帰りのバスもすこし待たされたため、ツアーは良かったけどバスがちょっとイマイチだったかな。
ツアーは日本語で案内もしてくれるし、小さい子どもにもたくさん声をかけてくれて楽しく参加することができました!サンドバーは腰から胸くらいの深さで、11ヶ月の子どもも浮き輪で初めての海デビューをすることができました。船上でのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメも船から何匹も泳いでいるところがみえました!シュノーケリングポイントは思ったより広くて、夫は一周まわってきましたが、私は怖かったので近くでシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、それでもたくさんの魚やサンゴを見ることができました。シュノーケリングの仕方も優しく教えてくれるし、泳ぎが得意でなければ、浮具も貸してもらえていました。
天気も良かったので、ハワイのきれいな景色も堪能して、一日充実して過ごすことができました。
My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.
I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set
Since I didn't go early, my seat was in a bad location, like behind the scenes. I recommend arriving early and lining up if you want to see from a good seat.
早く行かなかったので場所が悪く舞台裏の様なところだった。良い席で見たい方は早めに行って並ぶ事をお勧めします。
The snorkeling and sandbar experience was very enjoyable, and the lunch was delicious. During the morning tour, the tide was high. It was a bit disappointing that the water was up to my waist at the sandbar, but I was satisfied because the weather was nice.
シュノーケリング・サンドバー体験はとても楽しかったですし、ランチもとても美味しかったです。午前のツアーで満ち潮でした。サンドバーは腰ぐらいまで水があり残念でしたが、天気は良かったので満足です。
I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.
We are very sorry to hear that you got injured from coral. Your feedback has been shared with our crews and we will make effort to keep everyone safe. Mahlo! - Team KBOS
I participated in the beginner mountain bike course. Even though I hardly understood any English, the staff made a great effort to communicate with me. I was able to understand the explanations well. There was a problem when the chain broke during the ride, but the response was smooth, and I felt at ease throughout. Next, I want to try the zip line as well. The attractions in the vast area were incredibly fun. Thank you very much!
マウンテンバイク初心者コースに参加しました。
ほとんど英語がわからなくても、スタッフの方々が懸命にコミュニケーションを取ろうとしてくれます。説明も十分に理解することができました。途中チェーンが壊れてしまうトラブルがありましたが、対応もスムーズで、終始安心していられました。
次はジップラインも体験したいです。
広大な土地で楽しめるアトラクションは、最高に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました
Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.
From the beginning to the end, everything was absolutely beautiful and fun, but seeing my grandaughter and the sparkles in her eyes left me speechless.
I participated with my 50-year-old aunt and 73-year-old aunt, and we had a great time! We made a reservation for three people, but you can also participate with two people by paying for three. Just make sure to inform them that you are a party of two. The waves were great, and we were able to ride three waves right away, so our experience ended up being about 30 minutes, but it was very satisfying. Thank you!
50歳(♀)と73歳の叔母での参加でしたが、とても楽しめました!!
こちらは3名からの予約となっていますが、2名参加でも3名分の料金を払えば体験できます。その際には2名参加である事を伝える必要あり。
波も良くて、すぐに3本の波に乗ることが出来た為、体験時間は30分ほどで終わってしまいましたが大満足の体験でした。ありがとうございます!
This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. This time, the wind was strong, and the boat was quite rocky. I think most of the other participants were newlyweds, but one of them got seasick and vomited. I also have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I took some anti-nausea medication before participating, and I didn't feel seasick at all. Anti-nausea medication is a must!
ハワイでのパラセイリングは2回目になります。
今回は風が強くて、船もかなり揺れ、私たち親子以外の参加の方々は、ほとんど新婚さんだったとおもいますが、どちらか片方が船酔いされて嘔吐されていました。私もとても酔いやすい体質なので、酔い止めを飲んで参加したので、全く船酔いしなかったです。酔い止め必須です!
Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.
Just the perfect amount of time at the sandbar. There’s a platform if you don’t want to be in the water. There’s canoes and stand up paddle boards.
It was a fun experience over all.
Also included was snorkeling.
Mahalo for sharing your experience and nice pictures! - Team KBOS
The only con about this activity is I did find it on the expensive end. The total time spent up in the sky is quite short - about 5 min.
The staff were friendly and the activity itself was enjoyable.
