Oahu
This time, I participated with my mother, who is in her mid-80s. Initially, we thought we would have to give up on joining the tour because of her age, but after doing some research, we found out that there was a beginner-friendly course, so we decided to participate.
Our guide, Hoku (a foreigner), explained the plants in fluent Japanese and was considerate of our walking pace. Thanks to him, we were able to return safely without any injuries.
The sandwich we had afterward at Tantalus Lookout was delicious. We were able to see a different side of Hawaii, distinct from the beach.
今回は80代半ばの母親と参加しました。当初母が高齢ということもあり、ツアー参加は諦めていましたが、いろいろ調べて見ると初心者向けのコースと分かり参加を決意。
ガイドのホクさん(外国人)は流暢な日本語で植物の説明をしてくださり、また歩くスピードにも気を遣ってくれました。おかげで怪我なく無事戻れました。
その後のタンタラスの丘で食べたサンドイッチは美味しかったです。ビーチとはまた違ったハワイの一面を見ることが出来ました。
I think it depends on the weather, but sturdy shoes are a good idea as your feet can get quite dirty. The tour to places that are not easily accessible on your own was enjoyable.
お天気に左右されると思いますが、足元はしっかりとした靴が良いと思います。結構汚れます。
個人ではなかなか行くことが無い場所へのツアーは楽しかったです
Aloha,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are truly grateful that you chose our tour for your important trip with your mother.
I understand there may have been some concerns regarding your age at first, but we are very relieved to hear that you returned safely without any injuries. We also appreciate your kind words about our guide's Japanese explanations and consideration for the walking pace, which will be a great encouragement for them.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sandwiches at Tantalus and the unique nature of Hawaii, different from the beaches. Your valuable advice regarding footwear will certainly be helpful for future participants.
Since these are places that are not easily visited individually, we are honored that you were able to experience the unique charm of our tour.
When you come to Hawaii again, please do stop by with your mother. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Mahalo!
アロハ、
この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
また、お母様との大切なご旅行に当ツアーをお選びいただき、心より感謝申し上げます。
当初はご年齢のことでご不安もあったかと思いますが、無事に怪我なくお戻りいただけたとのこと、私どもも大変安心いたしました。ガイドの日本語でのご案内や歩行ペースへの配慮についてもお褒めの言葉をいただき、本人にとっても大きな励みになります。
タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチや、ビーチとは異なるハワイの自然をお楽しみいただけたとのこと、とても嬉しく思います。足元についての貴重なアドバイスも、これから参加されるお客様にとって参考になるお言葉です。
個人ではなかなか訪れることのない場所だからこそ、ツアーならではの魅力を感じていただけたことを光栄に思います。
またハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひお母様とご一緒にお立ち寄りください。スタッフ一同、心よりお待ちしております。
マハロ!
I finally managed to convince my wife to go parasailing. At first, I was filled with fear, but according to her, once we were up in the air, we could see Diamond Head, the hotel we were staying at, and Waikiki Beach. It was the best location!
女房説得し、やっとパラセーリングをすることができました。最初は恐怖心でいっぱいでしたが、女房曰く上がってみるとダイヤモンドヘッドは見えるし、止まっていたホテルも見えるし、ワイキキビーチも見えるし最高のロケーションでした。
Please give it a try.
チャレンジしてください。
The prices are reasonable, and there's enough time spent floating to have a lot of fun. Above all, the quick transitions and the efficient putting on and taking off of equipment made it very time-effective, and it was great to see Diamond Head from the ocean. The time from gathering to dispersing is short, allowing for additional plans afterward. I felt that it was a good cost-performance ratio because I was able to enjoy it in a short time and was very satisfied.
お手頃な価格ですが、浮いている時間もソコソコあるので十分楽しめます。
なによりテキパキと交代、装備の付け外しをしてくれるのでとてもタイパが良く、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドも見られて良かったです。集合から解散までの時間が短いので、その後にも予定が入れられます。
短い時間で楽しめて満足度も高いのでコスパが良いと感じました。
You can land without getting into the sea, but since you're here, I recommend enjoying the experience of getting into the water.
海に浸かることなく着地も出来るようですが、せっかくなので海に浸かることをオススメします。
I have always wanted to enjoy Hawaii from the sky, either by Cessna or helicopter, and I chose a Cessna guided by a Japanese pilot! As a result, I was able to fully enjoy Oahu, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.
- Honolulu area
- Kailua and Hanauma Bay
- North Shore area
- Kualoa Ranch
- Pearl Harbor
The guide provided a thorough tour over the course of an hour. It was such a luxurious flight! I was particularly thrilled when flying through the valleys of Kualoa Ranch and when I could see the entire sunken ship at Pearl Harbor. I believe this is an experience you can't have on the ground.
And of course, the ocean is incredibly beautiful and breathtaking! The clarity of the water varies by area, so you can enjoy different colors of the sea, such as blue, light blue, and emerald green.
If anyone is hesitating, I highly recommend it as it will become a lifelong memory! Next time, I would like to try the piloting experience as well!
かねてから、セスナかヘリコプターでハワイを空から楽しみたいと思っていたのですが、日本の方がガイドしてくださるセスナを選びました!
結果、オアフ島を堪能できてとても感無量でした。
・ホノルルエリア
・カイルアやハナウマ湾
・ノースショアエリア
・クアロアランチ
・パールハーバー
など、1時間かけてたっぷりガイドしてくださいます。
とても贅沢なフライトでした!
特に、クアロアランチの渓間を飛んでいるときや、パールハーバーで沈んだ船全体が見えたときは胸が高まりました。
地上ではできない経験だと思います。
そして、海は言わずもがなとても綺麗で絶景です!
エリアによって透明度が違うので、青色水色エメラルドグリーンなど、いろんな色の海を楽しむことができます。
迷っている方がいれば、一生の思い出になるので是非オススメします!
つぎは操縦体験も経験してみたいです♩
Personally, I didn't experience any motion sickness at all, and I wasn't scared at all by the feeling of floating. However, my friend seemed a bit scared. Unlike airplanes, it does shake a bit, so I r
個人的には乗り物酔いも一切なく、浮遊感も全く怖くありませんでした。
が、友人は少々怖かったようです。
飛行機と違って揺れるので、不安な方は酔い止めを飲んだりしておくのをオススメします!
This was such a great experience! Very organized, everything was nice and easy, the stuff was absolutely incredible! Great vibes, helpful and accommodating , going above and beyond for everyone to have a great time! We did the all inclusive package and it was perfect. The band was great as well and we had the best time! Highly recommended!!
Book in advance and if you love water sports definitely go for the all inclusive package!
Aloha Einatle,
Thank you for your 5star review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your sandbar tour with us. We are hoping to see you again soon!
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
It was a very enjoyable tour where we rode down on mountain bikes in an area we usually don't visit. My 80-year-old mother also had a great time. The guide was a really nice guy. We had a lot of fun.
普段自分達では行かないエリアで、マウンテンバイクで下る、とても気持ちのいいツアーでした。80歳の母も楽しんでいました。ガイドのお兄さんもとてもいい方でした。楽しかったです。
Make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly.
日焼け止めはしっかり塗りましょう
Ziplining while enjoying the magnificent views at Kualoa Ranch was incredibly refreshing. There were three instructors with us, which made it very safe, but since the explanations were in English, I couldn't understand anything they were saying. When I expressed this, they showed me a video in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease.
数本のジップラインをクアロアランチの壮大な景色を見ながら行くのは、とても爽快でした。3名のインストラクターがついてくれて、とても安全に出来ますが、英語での説明でしたので、何を言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。それを伝えると、日本語のビデオを見せてくれたので、安心できました。
The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!
I had an amazing time. The crew was fun and lively, and everyone was smiling the whole time. It might also be because of the clear weather, but the ocean and the streets of Honolulu were incredibly beautiful.
凄く楽しかった。クルーの人が楽しく盛り上げてくれて、皆 笑顔が絶えなかった。そして快晴だったせいかも知れないけど、海もホノルルの街並みも最高に綺麗。
I think it's better to take motion sickness medication since there are quite a few waves.
波が結構あって酔い止めは飲んで行ったほうが良いと思います
The two-hour horseback riding was quite long, so my rear ended up hurting, but it was worth it. I was moved when I walked through the forest and saw the ocean. Surrounded by the forests of Kualoa, I was truly awed by the magnificent scenery throughout. The guide spoke English, but even if you don't understand, you can still enjoy it enough.
Since the shuttle arrived early, we had quite a bit of time on-site. There was a good 2 to 3 hours to spare. You can look at the horses, visit the souvenir shop, and have lunch. There were also lockers available, which were convenient as they were the type you could easily access.
乗馬2時間は結構長いですので、おしりが痛くなりましたが、その価値はありました。
森の中を歩いて、海が見えたときには感動しました。
クアロアの森に囲まれて、本当に圧巻され、終始壮大な景色でした。
ガイドは英語ですが、理解できなくても十分楽しめます。
送迎は早めに着いたので現地でかなり時間がありました。
2~3時間は余裕があります。
馬を見たり、お土産屋さんを見たり、ランチを食べたりできます。
ロッカーもありました。取り出しができるタイプで便利でした。
It might be a good idea to bring something to pass the time.
時間がつぶせるものを持っていくといいかも
The weather was slightly cloudy, but fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles! There were also many other fish, making it quite a sight.
There were about 10 participants on the tour that day, but I've heard that on some days, it can be close to 30 people. The morning time also had high visibility, making it easy to see.
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, there were other tour groups, so it was quite crowded. They likely color-coded the participants with life jackets, so I don't think anyone would get lost.
The boat was rocking, but after entering the water, the waves were quite strong, and some of my companions and other tour participants returned to the boat to lie down. The seawater was very salty, making me thirsty. You might feel a bit nauseous, so please manage that with food or medication. Soft drinks and snacks seemed to be free.
After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The breeze was pleasant, and I'm glad I participated!
天気は、若干曇っていましたが、運良くウミガメを見ることができました!
他の魚もたくさんいて見応えがありました。
その日のツアーの参加人数は10人くらいでしたが、話によると、日によっては30人近くになるそうです。午前中という時間も、透明度が高く、みやすかったとのことです。
シュノーケルのポイントに行くと、他のツアーの方々もいるので、人が多いです。おそらくライフジャケットで参加者を色分けしており、迷子にはならないと思います。
船は揺れるのですが、海に入った後の波の揺れがかなり大きく、同行者やツアー参加者の何人かが船に戻り、横になっていました。
海水がとてもしょっぱく、喉が渇きます。
若干気持ち悪くなるかもしれないので、食事や薬などで調節されてください。
ソフトドリンクやスナックはフリーのようです。
シュノーケリング後は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルージング。風も気持ちよく、参加してよかったです!
A friend who participated with me got seasick. I think it's better to adjust meals right before and take medication.
一緒に参加した友人は、波酔いをしていました。直前の食事の調節や、薬を飲むなどした方が良いと思います。
From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was inviting, the evening gave all guests a great mix of culture, cuisine, and excitement!!
A fun Hawaiian evening! The shell lei and included drink made for a festive welcome, and the luau dinner offered tasty traditional dishes!
The atmosphere was festive and authentic, making it a truly memorable evening.
the ATV tour through Jurassic Valley offered stunning views of the mountains and coastline
The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.
Such a fun and active morning snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding around Kaneohe Bay!
Aloha Kara,
Thank you so much for your 5 star revies. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your sandbar tour with us.
We hope to see you again soon!
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
The ziplines were exciting and felt safe thanks to the attentive guides. Flying over the lush Jurassic Valley with views of the mountains and ocean was incredible
Even from the rear seating, the views were good, and the transportation made it easy to get there. A lively and memorable evening.
The Polynesian show was very entertaining, with skilled dancers. The boat service team was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive without feeling crowded. A fun and memorable way to enjoy a Hawaiian evening.
The sunset views from the deck were stunning, and the buffet offered a wide variety of tasty dishes.
Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.
The trail is beautiful and lush, with tropical scenery at every turn. A simple, enjoyable rainforest escape.
This shuttle made visiting Manoa Falls easy. Pick-up in Waikiki was on time, and the ride was comfortable.
The Polynesian show was top-notch, the dancers were expressive with the highlight, of the fire knife performance. It was beautifully choreographed!
Our instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and made the lesson fun for everyone in our group!
The UTV mapped trails through Jurassic Valley were stunning, with incredible views of the mountains and coastline and lots of fun movie add ins throughout
Paddling was tough. I realized that if you paddle in your own way, it can be tiring, but it was really fun! I want to experience it again.
パドルを漕ぐのが大変だった。
漕ぎ方が自己流だと疲れてしまうのを知りましたが、すごく楽しかった!
もう一度体験したいです。
アロハ、
体験を共有していただきありがとうございます!水上で楽しい時間を過ごされたと聞いてとても嬉しいですし、すでに再挑戦を楽しみにしているのは素晴らしいことです。パドリングは確かに運動になりますが、それもアウトリガーカヌーサーフィンの楽しさの一部です。また素晴らしい冒険にお迎えできることを楽しみにしています!
Aloha,
Mahalo for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear you had fun out on the water, and it’s wonderful that you’re already excited to try it again. Paddling can definitely be a workout, but it’s all part of the joy of outrigger canoe surfing. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another memorable adventure!
After getting off the bus, I wasn't sure what to do, but when I showed the voucher on my smartphone at the ticket center, they issued me a paper ticket✋. This took away half of my anxiety, and the other half was about finding the Japanese guide. I managed to find where the guide was, and I met a wonderful volunteer guide (NENE), and it was amazing!!
Her service and hospitality were top-notch (laughs)👍. I want to come back and see her again!
Thank you, Nene-chan. See you again soon! 🤗👍
バスを降りてからとりあえずどうすれば良いか分からず、スマホのバウチャーをチケットセンターに見せると、紙のチケットを発行してくれました✋
これで不安は半分無くなりまして、あと半分は日本語ガイドさんを探すこと。何とかガイドさんが居る場所を見つけて、素晴らしボランティアガイドさん(NENEさん)に巡りあって、最高でしたー!!
気付いも、接客も営業も(笑)最高👍
また会いに着たくなりました!
ありがとう、ねねちゃん。またねー🤗👍
I participated with my friend because we could swim with wild dolphins. We were able to swim with whale sharks too! We saw many creatures, including dolphins and turtles, and it was a truly precious experience. The Japanese staff and the crew were very kind, so I think even first-timers can enjoy it! I was really glad to come and have so much interaction with nature!
野生のイルカと泳ぐことができるということで、友人と参加しました。ジンベイザメと泳ぐことができました!他にもイルカやカメなどたくさんの生き物を見ることができ、とても貴重な時間でした。
日本人スタッフさんはじめ、クルーの皆さんもとても優しいので、初めての人でも楽しめると思います!自然にたくさん触れ合うことができ、本当に来てよかったです!
Aloha! Thank you, Nako, for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five-star rating. It was truly fortunate to not only encounter dolphins and turtles but also to swim with a wild whale shark! Even for those who live in Hawaii, swimming with a wild whale shark in the open ocean is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Thank you for your comments about our Japanese staff and crew as well. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! nakoさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星にも感謝いたします。イルカやカメと出会っただけでなく、ジンペイザメと泳げたとは本当に幸運でしたね!!ハワイの海を舞台に生活をしている人であっても 外洋に生きる野生のジンベイザメと泳ぐことは一生に一度あるかないかの体験です!!また、日本人スタッフやクルーに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
