Oahu
My family had a lovely time together as we looked for a low-key activity in the evening after busy days in the sun. For our session, it was cool to meet at the rooftop tennis courts and not too hard to find. We saw a variety of stars, the moon close-up, and even Saturn. Our group was larger than I expected but anyone could ask questions throughout the experience. I'd love more stories or information to be shared throughout, but again it was an easy, light-hearted, and informative night. Also, we didn't want to commit to one of the long star-gazing activities especially on the other islands because it wouldn't work well with the different ages in our group so this was shorter and manageable.
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars !
Staff was friendly and was an amazing experience. We enjoyed every part of it. Recommend to take nausea medicine if you’re sensitive. 2 of us did get motion sick.
I was looking forward to my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, but it was cloudy and rainy from the morning, which made the water murky and hard to see. The submarine experience was good, but it was disappointing.
久しぶりのハワイで、楽しみにしていましたが、朝から雨で曇っていたせいか、水中が濁っていてよく見えなかった。潜水艦は良かったですが残念です。
It was a very good experience!
At first, I was scared, but the view was great.
I was satisfied with the long time spent in the air.
It's better to purchase the photos.
とても良い体験になりました!
最初は怖かったのですが、景色が良かったです。
上空にいる時間が長くて満足でした。
写真は購入したほうがいいです。
The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.
I had doubt initially and I am glad I did it. It’s easy to book through this site. I booked it a day before the tour and luckily to find a time that was good for my family. The guide has great sense of humor. If you love Hollywood movies and TV shows, it’s a must see. You can also learn a lot about the ranch history. My family enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed every single minute spent on this trip thanks to the entire crew. I really loved the live music and the snorkeling is definitely second to none!
I'm for sure will take this tour the next time I'm back to Oahu.
It was a perfect day for a flight. Since it was sunny, I was wondering if yesterday was the same, but it turned out to be the best day for flying due to various conditions like the wind. The warm and reassuring welcome from the owner couple, along with their prior email notification, made for a welcoming flight. I got to see the entire view of Honolulu from the sky for the first time, and the colors of the sky and sea, as well as the wind, were all wonderful. The pilot was friendly and ensured a safe and secure flight. At one point, I unexpectedly got airsick, and we had to land for a break before taking off again. During the break, we were offered cold towels, drinks, and sweets for a relaxing time. The staff went around the airport with a cart, which helped settle my nausea. The view from above and the warm, trustworthy hospitality from the staff made this Cessna flight a wonderful memory for my husband and me. Thank you so much! Oh! On our return, we were interviewed by a TV crew at the airport, and the staff shared the photos from our Cessna flight, which were aired as well! It was filled with many happy moments. I am grateful.
その日はフライト日和 晴れているので昨日も❓と思ってたら風などなど諸条件からベストフライトな日だと。オーナー夫妻の温かで安心なお迎え、事前にもメールでお知らせいただき ウェルカムフライト。初めてホノルルの全景を空から眺められ 空も海の色も風もとてもワンダフル。パイロットさんも親しみ安く安心、安全なフライトでした。途中 まさかのセスナ酔いに 一旦着陸し、休憩後 再フライトしてくださった。休憩中も 冷たいおしぼり、飲み物やスイーツ 寛ぎタイム。スタッフの方がカートで空港内を回ってくださり、おかげで酔いも落ち着きました。上空から眺めた景色とスタッフの方たちの温かな、信頼できるおもてなしのセスナフライトは私たち夫婦の素敵な素敵な思い出になりました。ありがとうございます~✨ そう❗帰国時 空港でテレビ取材にあい、スタッフさんが撮ってくださったセスナフライトの写真も一緒に放映されましたよ~✨ 沢山のハッピータイムでした。感謝です
On the second day of our arrival, we had an experience. My husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and I were able to participate together for the first time. Until now, we had only been able to ride one or two people at a time, so it was great to ride as a family of three.
The boat was larger than I expected, and we went out to the open sea for the experience. We were with two other groups. The height was also 150 meters, and we were able to see the most amazing views.
One unexpected thing was that while anchored, the boat swayed a bit, and during sailing, it felt more like we were connected rather than being pulled by the boat, so we felt the swaying from the waves and wind, which made me a bit seasick.
However, we had a wonderful experience with stunning views.
到着2日目に体験しました。
夫婦と9歳の娘の三人で一度に体験できました。今までは一人か二人乗りだったので、三人で初めて乗れてよかったです。
思ったよりも大きな船で、沖まで行き体験しました。
ほか二グループと一緒でした。
高さも150メートルと高く、最高の景色が見れました。
誤算だったのは、停泊中は船が少し揺れ、セイル中も船に引っ張られるというよりは、繋がっている状態だったので波、風の揺れを感じ、
船酔いしてしまったことです。
でも、素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。
My boyfriend and I visited Honolulu for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday. With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)
The awesome crew, live music and activity options for the sandbar make this perfect for solo travelers, couples or even families. Do not hesitate to book!
I experienced parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boating. It was all my first time. I headed to the meeting point with a mix of nervousness, excitement, and anticipation. I mistakenly booked the jet ski and bumper tube, but they quickly changed it for me. The instructions were given in Japanese, and they even made jokes to keep us entertained. Overall, it was so much fun, and I'm glad I tried it.
パラセーリング、ジェットスキー、バナナボートを体験しました。
どれも初めてでした。
緊張と楽しみとドキドキしながら集合場所へ向かいました。
こちらのミスでジェットスキーどバンパーチューブを間違えて予約していましたが、すぐに変えてくれました。
説明も日本語で話してくれて時々ジョークも交えて笑わせながら楽しませてもらいました。
とにかく楽しくて、トライして良かったと思います。
La prise en charge, l’accueil, le circuit tout était très bien. Le chauffeur nous donnait des renseignements intéressants. Nous avons passé un excellent moment. Seule petit bémol le bus n’était pas très confortable et j’ai quelques petites douleurs au dos. J’ai aussi acheté la photo bien que j’ai trouvé le prix exorbitant. En tout état de cause je conseille cette activité.
The ride out to sea on the boat was thrilling at high speed. I felt more fear from the boat's speed while waiting in line with several groups of people. When flying, it was very enjoyable and made me feel elegant. It was a quick flight, and I wished I could fly longer. I purchased the photo data, and I was impressed by the images, which exceeded my expectations.
ボートで沖に出るまでも高スピードでスリリングです。数組の人達と同乗の為順番待ちしている時の方がボートのスピードに恐怖がありました。飛んでいる時はとても楽しく優雅な気持ちになります。
アッという間のフライトでもっと飛んでいたいと思いました。
写真データーを購入しましたが、期待以上の画像に感激でした。
The basic English support was available, but there was also a Japanese explanation video for horseback riding, which I watched, so even though it was my first time riding, I quickly understood how to ride.
You wear a helmet while riding. You can leave your luggage in a locker and bring valuables and drinks with you (they lend you a pouch).
I was very satisfied with the experience as I could enjoy the scenery of both mountains and the sea in the great outdoors. The horses were also very well-behaved. It was a bit disappointing that the instructor's explanations about the location were often too far away to hear, but they took several photos for me and sent them to my smartphone. For lunch, I had fish and chips at the café inside Kualoa. It was delicious. I had some concerns after reading reviews that mentioned having too much free time, but I ended up not having enough time as I was busy looking at souvenirs.
基本英語対応ですが、乗馬の際の説明ビデオは日本語もあり、そちらの映像を見せていただいたので初めての乗馬でしたが乗り方はすぐに理解できました。
乗馬の際はヘルメットを被ります。荷物はロッカーに預けて、貴重品と飲み物を持参できます。(ポシェット貸してくれます)
大自然の中で山と海両方の景色が楽しめて大満足です。お馬さんたちもお利口さんでした。インストラクターの場所等の説明が遠くて聞こえないことが多々あったのがちょっと残念でしたが、、、何枚か写真も撮っていただきスマホに送っていただけました。ランチはクアロアの中のカフェでfish and chipsを食べました。美味しかったです。口コミに自由時間は時間を持て余すと書かれていたのを見ていたので不安でしたが、お土産を見たり時間が足りないくらいでした。
I was able to enjoy an extraordinary view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. This is the most memorable experience I had in Hawaii.
ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドが一望でき非日常の景色を味わせてくれました。
ハワイでいちばん心に残った思い出です。
We had so much fun!! Everyone was very friendly and the people on our boat group made it extra fun! I just wish it was longer than 3 hrs. My husband and I had a great time snorkeling! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to go to the sandbar! I love that they also allowed us to bring a cooler and drinks!
It is a lot of fun, but make sure you apply sunscreen to every inch of your body to avoid sunburn . Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable
We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.
I made a reservation about a week before traveling to the United States, but it seems to be a popular activity, and the desired morning time was fully booked, so I opted for an available afternoon slot. The sand was quite intense, and my whole family ended up covered in sand from head to toe, but we had a great time. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.
渡米1週間前くらいに予約しましたが、人気のあるアクティビティらしく、午前中の希望する時間が空いてなく、午後の空いてる時間にしました。砂煙がすごいため、家族全員、顔から洋服全体が砂まみれになってしまいましたが、とても楽しめました。今度は乗馬してみたいです。
Really well organized. Fun time with the whole family!
This time, I participated in the afternoon. The reason is that the sandbar can be seen during low tide, and when I checked the time, it turned out that the afternoon was the best time that day. However, the beach did not appear (laughs). It seems that timing is really important, and even during low tide, if the season is different, the beach may not be accessible (what a shame).
However, regardless of that, this tour allows you to enjoy activities as long as time permits. You can play as much as you want with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and beach volleyball! In particular, snorkeling was great because it was at a point where many fish gather around the coral reef, which I think was much better compared to other beaches.
The beach itself is white, so when the water level goes down to a certain extent, you can enjoy activities in a very beautiful place. It was the perfect spot for enjoying the scenery while engaging in activities in the sea!
今回は、午後に参加しました。というのも、サンドバーが見られるのが干潮の時ということで、時間を確認したところ、その日は午後が一番良かったからです。
が、砂浜は現れず笑
というのも、本当にタイミングが大事なようで、干潮のタイミングでも季節が違うと砂浜に上がってというのができないようです。(残念)
しかし、関係なしに、このツアーではアクティビティが時間の許す限り楽しめます。SAP、カヤック、シュノーケリング、ビーチバレーなど遊び放題!特にシュノーケリングはサンゴ礁に魚がたくさん集まるポイントで、これは他のビーチに比べてもとても良かったと思える点です。
砂浜自体は白いので、水位がある程度下がれば、とても綺麗な場所でアクティビティを楽しむことができるので、景色を楽しみつつ、海でのアクティビティには最高の場所でした!
I had previously been taken care of a few times, and this time I requested private lessons for my daughter, who just started elementary school (7 years old)! She was a bit scared at first, but Matt-sensei taught her in a fun way, and before we knew it, she was doing nice rides multiple times! Despite being scared and cold, it seems she had a great time.
I was also able to ride a few times nearby with a board I rented separately, which became a wonderful memory.
Since they incorporate some Japanese while standing, I think even those who can't communicate in English can enjoy it enough. I want to go to Hawaii again soon; thank you for your help next time as well!
私が以前数回お世話になっており、今回は小学校に上がった娘(7歳)のプライベートレッスンをお願いしました!
少し怖がったりもしていましたが、マット先生が楽しく教えてくれて、気づけば何度もナイスライドをしていました!こわい&寒いなりに楽しかったようです。
私も別途借りていたボードで近くで何本か乗ることができとても良い思い出になりました。
立ってなどは日本語も交えてくれるので、英語だコミュニケーション取れない方でも十分楽しめるかなと思います。
もうまたすぐハワイに行きたいです、次回もよろしくお願いします!
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for sharing your 5-star rating and your child's lesson experience. I'm glad to hear it became a wonderful memory! We look forward to the next opportunity!
あんどれあ様:
5つ星のレイティングとお子様のレッスン体験をシェアして頂き、有難うございました。とても良い思い出になったと聞きとても良かったです!またの機会をお待ちしております!
My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!
The tour includes light snacks on board. The staff was very friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour. There are also guides in Japanese, so even families with small children can have a great time.
船上にて軽食付きのツアーとなります。スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。日本語で案内もあるため小さな子供連れでも楽しめます。
I was able to feel close to Hawaii while running through the great outdoors. Since there are steep slopes and narrow areas along the way, being able to handle a bicycle to some extent is a requirement.
大自然の中を駆け巡り、ハワイを身近に感じる事ができました。途中、急な勾配や細い場所もあるため、ある程度自転車の操作が可能な事が条件となります。
Fun! The cheeseburger was the best.
kind of crowded when everyone is snorkeling
But overall it’s a great activity!
The show was overall good, especially the fire dance at the end. And the chief is quite talented because he needs to run the show, tell jokes and play drums.
Anyway,
This luau is inside the water park, and we use the restroom inside the water park which is a 5 minutes away from the luau place. Before the sun goes down, it’s very hot and sweaty. And we don’t have much space while seating. The experience was not pleasant.
Also, after everyone takes a picture and ready to seat down, they give u a cup of mai tai and takes one of the drink tickets. Don’t take that Mai Tai drink right away, just go to the bar section for the drinks.
And there are one thing I can’t figure it out, before the buffet starts, they showed us a roast pig and said this is gonna be one of the main course tonight. And everyone go line up for the buffet, the only dish pork-related is the pull pork which has nothing to do with the roast pig for sure. And they didn’t cut the roast pig in front of everyone. It looks like the roast pig is one of the actor for the luau.
For the price we are paying, we expect more.
This was the best way to cap off our O'ahu vacation by having a relaxing snorkel, a crazy banana boat ride, easy paddle boarding and just chilling in the ocean surrounded by some of the most gorgeous scenery you could find anywhere. The crew were fantastic and so friendly, they were patient with everyone and even got to chat with Preston about him moving from Mesa, AZ (we're from Scottsdale, AZ). If we are ever in O'ahu again, we are absolutely doing this as it was so fun an easy and one of the most enjoyable things we did while on the island. Definitely worth our money and time - give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
One of the best things I’ve ever done. The captain and her mate were exceptional! They talked us through our fears, educated us about the sharks, and we got to see sharks- loaaads of sharks! Right there. I’m all their beauty. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it - just do it. Nothing to fear. All safe and just an experience of a lifetime!
It was awesome. The way the lines went through the park and the view was outstanding. The instructors and the other members of our group made the adventure even more special. Would recommend this 1000%.
