Oahu
The scenery is so magnificent that it is chosen as a filming location for movies. Riding the buggy from various angles allowed for a lot of movement and enjoyment. However, there was a bit too much time left on the return trip, and if it's just the buggy attraction, you might find yourself with too much free time. I think it would be good to plan other experience attractions at Kualoa on the same day.
映画ロケ地として選ばれるほどの壮大な景色なかに入ることができる。
色々な角度からバギーをのることで、移動距離も多く、楽しめた。
ただ、少し帰りの時間が十分余裕があり、バギーだけのアトラクションだと時間を持て余す。
他に同日にクアロアでの体験アトラクションを計画するといいと思う
Such a great experience! We got to see so many places in this tour. I would recommend it to anyone who loves movies or even just nature. The views are amazing! I would definitely use this company again in the future!
It was exciting to see the actual locations where the movie was filmed spread out before my eyes. Please give it a try. The bus tour goes directly to the location, so you don't have to walk on mountain trails, so it's perfect for families with children.
Food and service was good. Views were outstanding. Nice entertainment.
This was the best luau! I would highly recommend this experience! The family and I really enjoyed this celebration and would definitely come back next time we are on island!
The activities were great but the whole staff is awemazing!
There was only one point of interest, which felt a bit lonely, but the staff were all friendly. Although it's not directly related to the tour, the meeting place is a homeless hub, so the atmosphere isn't very good, and it's something to be cautious about.
ポイントは一ヶ所のみで少し寂しい感じでしたが、スタッフの方々は皆さんフレンドリーでした。ツアーとは直接関係ないですが、集合場所はホームレス拠点なので、あまり雰囲気は良くないし、要注意です。
An airplane was flying overhead, and I was able to take some wonderful photos!
A few groups went offshore, and since there is a sequence of activities, it's better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication in advance.
上空を飛行機が飛んでいて
素敵な写真が撮れました!
何組かで沖合に行き、アクティビティの順番があるので
船酔いする人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいい。
I was relieved that the shuttle bus was on time. The explanation about the dolphins was easy to understand, and there were no issues. Overall, I was satisfied.
送迎バスは時間通りで安心しました。イルカについても説明が分かりやすく、問題はありませんでした。全体としても満足しました
It was great that they took many photos from various angles (for a fee). It was a very enjoyable cruise with the cheerful crew.
色んな角度からたくさん写真を撮ってくれる(有料)のでとてもよかったです。明るい乗組員さんたちととても楽しいクルーズでした。
The weather was nice, and I was able to ride the horse comfortably. At first, I thought three hours might be long, but it ended up flying by with the wonderful scenery. Unfortunately, it was disappointing that there was no explanation from the locals during the horseback riding.
お天気も良く、馬にも快適に乗れました。
始めは3時間は長いかなと思いましたが、素晴らしい景色の中あっというまにおわりました。
残念乍ら現地の人から乗馬中何も説明が無かったのが残念でした。
Not enough space to go kayaking. The banana boat cost was quite expensive so we de used not to do that.
Mahalo for joining our tour and your review. We're sorry to hear that you are not satisfied kayaking and felt expensive the cost for banana boat. We hope you enjoyed your time at the sandbar. -Team KBOS
The most memorable experience during my stay in Hawaii was this tour. There was one Japanese staff member who kindly explained how to use the facilities. The explanation for horseback riding was not a problem since there was a video in Japanese. During the horseback riding, we were able to take photos, and at the turnaround point, the staff took pictures for us, which we later received via AirDrop. I was very satisfied! I would like to use this service again.
ハワイ滞在で1番思い出に残っていることがこちらのツアーでした。
日本人スタッフが1名いらっしゃり、施設の使い方等丁寧に教えてくださいました。
乗馬の説明は日本語のビデオがあったため問題ありませんでした。
乗馬中は写真撮影が可能で、折り返し地点でスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださり、後ほどairdropでいただくことができ、大満足です!
また利用したいと思いました。
In recent years, I've been going to Hawaii every year, but I couldn't go ziplining because my partner wasn't on board, which was frustrating. This time, we finally got to go together and had a great time.
We were part of a short tour with a group of seven people, including three Americans (a parent and child) and two young Asian women. One of the buggy drivers had studied in Japan and arranged for us to receive the photos he took via email (for free).
The only disappointing thing was that the longest line was closed. I want to challenge myself again.
ここ数年、毎年ハワイには行くものの連れ合いの賛同が得られずジップラインには行くことが出来ず辛い思いをしていました。
今回ようやく一緒に行ける事になり楽しんで来ました。
アメリカ人3人親子、アジア系のネイティブ若い女性2人組に私達の計7人でのショートツアー。
バギーの運転手の中に、日本で留学経験が有るスタッフがいて撮影してくれた写真をメールで送るように手配してくれました。(無料です。)
唯一残念だった事は、最長のラインが閉鎖されていたことです。
またチャレンジしたい。
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。
This is my third departure so far, but I think the previous buggy experience was more enjoyable. The reason is that during trips to a certain country, we were told not to go to places where buggies are allowed, which led to a boring course, as I heard from the staff.
If those who do not keep their promises are not allowed to ride the buggy, I believe we could have a more varied course. Recently, the quality of participants has declined, and they have stopped listening to the guides, resulting in just riding the buggy without any exploration.
I would like to participate again if we could have a fun sightseeing course like in the past, with people who keep their promises. From now on, I think it would be safer and more enjoyable to take all tourists from a certain country by bus instead of using buggies.
If I want to see various movie sets, I think a different movie course would be better. However, I appreciated that all the staff were kind and helpful. I believe it will improve even more as more Japanese tourists come and the quality of travelers increases.
通算今までに3回目の出発ですが、前のバギーの方が楽しかったと思います、原因は某国の旅行の方がバギーに乗って行っては行けないと言われているところに行ったりするので、こんなつまらないコースになったと言うことをスタッフから聞きました。
約束を守らない人はバギーに乗せないようにしたら、もっといろいろなところ行けるコースになると思います。
あくまで出席者が最近質が悪くなって案内を聞かなくなったので、コースでバギーでただ走るだけになったと言う形です。
昔の楽しい観光のできるコースがもう一度約束を守ってくれる人たちになるとまた参加したいです。
これからはバギーコースでなくて、確実に某国の観光客は全員をバスで連れて行ってもらう方が安全で楽しいと思いました。
あくまでバギーでなくて、いろんな映画の舞台を見に行きたいと思えば、違う映画のコースの方が良いと思います。
でもスタッフが全て優しくて良かったと思います。
これからもっと日本人がもっと多くなって旅行者の質が上がるともっと良くなると思います。
If you arrive exactly on time for the meeting (10:30 AM for an 11:00 AM start), you will end up waiting for a full 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the explanation during the pre-monitoring was difficult to understand. However, we do some practice on the sandy beach, and the instructor provides support while we're on the water.
During my first attempt, I couldn't catch any waves and felt a bit down, but on the second try, the instructor taught me the tips again, and after that, I was able to enjoy it a lot. Most of the other participants were also first-timers, but everyone managed to ride the waves. Before starting, they ask if you want the photo option for $65, and I think not ordering this was a mistake (I believe they were taking photos with a drone).
集合時間(11時開始の場合10時30分)にきっちり間に合うと30分しっかり待つことになります。
残念ながら、事前のモニターでの説明はわかりにくいです。
しかし砂浜でちょっとした練習をしますし、海上ではインストラクターがサポートしてくれてます。
1回目は波に乗れずにまさに撃沈で若干凹んでしまいましたが、2回目はインストラクターが再度コツを教えてくれたので、その後はとても楽しむことができました。
他の参加者も初めての人がほとんどでしたが、みんな波に乗れるようになっていました。
開始前に写真のオプション65ドルを聞かれますがこれを注文しなかったのは失敗だったと思っています。(多分、ドローンで写真を撮ってくれていたのだと思います)
I was looking forward to horseback riding and shopping in North Shore, but unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and I had to cancel the horseback riding. The roads became like rivers, so I ended up spending about three hours in a café. I definitely want to try again next time!
ノースショアで楽しみにしていた乗馬やお店回りでしたが
残念ながら、天候が崩れ、乗馬はキャンセル、お店回りも道路が川のようになり3時間ほど一つのカフェで過ごす羽目に(:_;)
次回是非、リベンジしたいです~
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. The decision regarding the cancellation of activities is made by the activity provider, but we appreciate your understanding that weather conditions are beyond our control. We hope you will challenge yourself again the next time you visit! We sincerely look forward to your return. Thank you.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用頂き、ありがとうございました。アクティビティの中止に関してはアクティビティ催行会社が決定致しますが、天候についてはどうしてもコントロールできない事ですのでご理解頂けて幸いです。ぜひ、次回いらした際はまたチャレンジなさって下さい!リベンジ、心よりお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。
Since we were the only Japanese couple, Mr. Akira Ogawa approached us before the show started and explained, "I'll include some Japanese as we go along." Once the show began, the host entertained us with fun magic tricks and jokes in easily understandable English. During Mr. Ogawa's show, I was even called upon as the only participating Japanese person, which allowed me to feel a sense of unity with the other audience members, transcending the language barrier in what felt like a brief but enjoyable hour.
I've been to Hawaii over twenty times, but since I usually focus on outdoor activities, it was a great decision to participate in a show this time. It was truly enjoyable to see Mr. Ogawa's magic, which is said to be the best in the world, up close.
日本人は私たち夫婦のみだったためか、緒川集人さんから、ショウが始まる前に声をかけていただき「様子を見て日本語も入れますから。」などと説明していただけました。ショウが始まると、聞き取り易い英語で司会の方がジョークを入れた楽しいマジックを見せてくれ、緒川さんのショウでは、唯一参加している日本人として振られる突っ込みもあり、言葉の壁を越えて他の観客の人たちと一体感を感じながらのあっという間の1時間でした。
ハワイは、これまで20数回来ているのですが、アウトドアが専門だったので、今回はこれまでと違ったショウを楽しんでみようと参加したのが大正解でした。
世界一と言われる緒川さんのマジックを間近で見ることができて本当に楽しかったです。
The tour, which takes you around the vast grounds in a bus driven by the staff, is fantastic, with various movie scenes like Jurassic Park scattered throughout. The staff's lively commentary was entertaining and made me feel like a kid again, having a great time.
ジェラシックパークなど数々の映画シーンが広大は敷地に点在するなかをスタッフが運転するバスで巡るツアーは最高です。中でもスタッフの軽快な解説は笑いがありこどもに戻って大はしゃぎしました。
Fearful at first but the outstanding experience put everyone at ease! Highly recommended!
The weather was nice, with little wind, perfect for parasailing! There was also a rainbow, which added to the great atmosphere. I was scared at first, but once I got used to it, it felt wonderful and was a lot of fun. I want to do it again!
天気も良く風も少なくパラセイリング日和でした!
虹も出ていて良い感じでした。
最初は怖かったですが慣れたら気持ちよく楽しかったです。またやりたいです!
I felt seasick, the wind was strong, and I shouted for help to the sky with my friends, feeling as if I might die from the sensation of floating like an attraction. However, thanks to the captain's wonderful energy, we were able to create amazing memories. We were on the brink of unstable weather, but it cleared up, and we even got to see a rainbow. It was fantastic! Additionally, at the end, I was able to take a photo with the two captains and my friends, spending a happy time together. I was so happy to experience parasailing for the first time in Hawaii and to meet such wonderful people.
船には酔い、風が強くて友達と助けてーと空に向かって叫び、アトラクションかのような浮遊感があり死ぬかと思いましたが、キャプテンのすてきなテンションで素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました。また、天候の不安定であるかないかの瀬戸際でしたが晴れて虹も見ることができました。素晴らしかった!さらに、最後にはキャプテン二人と友達と4人で写真を撮ることができて幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。人生初のパラセーリングをハワイでできてすてきな人にも出会えてしあわせでした
I had an exciting experience while enjoying the rich nature in the vast grounds. It was incredibly fun to drive the buggy while taking in the great views and feeling the breeze. The guide spoke only English, but was very friendly. Upon arrival, there was a Japanese person who provided detailed guidance in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.
広大な敷地の中、豊かな自然を味わいながらワクワクする体験をすることができました。眺めが良く風を受けながらバギーを走らせるのは最高に楽しかったです。
ガイドは英語オンリーではありますがとてもフレンドリーでした。
到着時は日本人の方がいらして日本語で詳しく案内してくれました。安心して参加できますよ。
Highly recommend the activity. Love seeing where they made all the movies
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。
It was about a 15-minute walk from Ala Moana Center, located in a corner of a warehouse district. I recognized it right away by the monkey sign. The door had a note in Japanese asking to ring the bell. Since there were no windows and I couldn't see inside at all, it took some courage, but before I pressed the bell, a staff member opened the door with a smile, possibly having checked with a camera.
Inside, there were art pieces illuminated by black lights, creating a cool atmosphere. The restroom was clean and had soap at the sink. They keep your belongings in plastic cases. Since the room is reserved for us, we could leave valuables in a corner.
I layered a T-shirt I brought, so I didn't use the poncho and enjoyed doodling on the canvas, wall, and T-shirt I received. I recommend shaking the splatter gun with fluorescent ink well before use. They make sure the canvas can be taken home in a box.
The staff didn't understand Japanese at all, but they were kind and spoke slowly, and gestures helped communicate, so it wasn't a problem. The store's website states it opens at 4 PM, so it's good to confirm when making a reservation.
In a room lit by black lights, listening to music while splattering fluorescent ink and making a mess, I could enjoy myself without worrying about getting dirty. It was a rare experience that I usually can't have. The canvas souvenir was also a nice touch.
アラモアナセンターから徒歩15分位、倉庫街の一角にありました。猿の看板ですぐにわかりました。ドアには日本語でベルを鳴らしてと書いてありました。窓もなく中の様子が全くわからないので勇気がいりましたがカメラで確認していたのかベルを押す前に中からスタッフの方が笑顔でドアを開けてくれました。
店内はブラックライトで照らされたアート作品が飾ってありクールな雰囲気です。トイレは綺麗で流しには石鹸がありました。
荷物はプラケースに入れ預かってくれます。1部屋貸切りなので貴重品は隅に置いておけます。
持参したTシャツを重ね着したのでポンチョは使用せず受取ったキャンバスや壁、Tシャツにも落書きを楽しみました。蛍光インクのスプラッターガンはよく振ってから使用する事をお勧めします。キャンバスは箱に入れて持ち帰れるようにしてくれます。
スタッフの方は日本語は全く通じませんが親切でゆっくり話してくれジェスチャーでも伝わるので問題ないです。お店のHPでは16時からとなっているので予約時に要確認です。
ブラックライトで照らさせた部屋で音楽を聞きながら蛍光インクを飛ばし部屋を汚す、汚れる事を気にせず思いっきり楽しめる。普段味わう事が出来ない貴重な体験でした。キャンバスのお土産もあり良かったです。
I had planned a trip to Hawaii with a friend, but it unexpectedly turned into a solo trip, which made me a bit down. However, I found this tour and decided to participate. It was my first time experiencing horseback riding, and they kindly taught me in Japanese, which made it enjoyable. The vast and beautiful scenery while I was riding the horse was unforgettable. It's been a while since I returned home, but I definitely want to experience it again next time.
友人と二人でハワイ旅行の予定が急きょ一人旅行となり、すこしへこんでいましたが、こちらのツアーを見つけ参加させていただくことに。乗馬体験は初めてでしたが、とても親切に日本語で教えて下さり、楽しめました。何と言っても広大な景色美しい場所に私が馬に乗って・・・。帰国してだいぶ経ちますがまた次回もぜひ体験したいです。
