"Be punctual."
I had a stomachache in the morning and informed them that I needed to go to the restroom, but I ended up being three minutes late to the meeting time. After that, I was subjected to snide remarks in the car.
If I were to hear such comments on my honeymoon, it would really ruin my mood. When I tried to give a tip that corresponded to the service, I was told, "I don't need it!" which left me feeling quite unpleasant.
I only handed over a tip for the service, but it seemed like there was a requirement to give at least $20 in the car. I was filled with the feeling of, "What? After making me feel this way?"
I think it could be fun if you get a good guide, but since this isn't a cheap tour, I would recommend avoiding tours where you might get lucky or unlucky.
Personally, I won't be using this service again.
「時間厳守」
朝お腹が痛くなりトイレ行ってきます。とお伝えし、集合時間に3分遅れてしまったのですが、その後の車の中でぐちぐち嫌味を言われました。
新婚旅行でそんな嫌味を言われたら気分も悪くなり、サービスに相当するチップを渡したら「いらないよ!」といわれ、かなり嫌な気持ちになりました。
サービスに対するチップを渡しただけなのですが、車の中には最低20ドルを出してください。と記載がされていた様で、「え?こんな思いさせといて?」という気持ちでいっぱいです。
ガイドさんが当たれば楽しいと思いますが
安いツアーでもないので当たり外れがあるツアーを申し込みするくらいなら、やめた方がいい思います笑
個人的には、もう利用しません。
ガイドに当たり外れがあるツアーだと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Island Makana Tours. We apologize for any discomfort you may have experienced. There is information regarding tips inside the vehicle (as this is a culture not present in Japan, we often receive requests for clarification). There is no mention of a minimum of $20, so we would like to correct that. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。お客様に不快な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ありませんでした。車内にチップに対するご案内があります(日本にない文化ですので、わからないから教えて欲しいと言われる事が多い為)。最低20ドルを~という記載はありませんので、訂正させていただきます。貴重なご意見、ありがとうございました。

This is perfect for those riding a horse for the first time. Children as young as two can ride, so I think it's safe for small kids. The horses are all gentle, but if you are experienced, it might feel a bit lacking.
初めて馬を乗る方にはピッタリです。2歳から乗れるし、小さい子供も心配ないと思います。ことなしい馬ばかりで、もし経験者であれば少し物足りないかもです。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the guide kindly assisted with explanations, allowing me to enjoy it without any worries. Riding along the beautiful coastline was a rare experience. At the viewpoint, they took individual photos for each of us with our smartphones, which became a nice memory. In the end, I rewarded the horse that carried me with some treats. It was truly fun. The free time in North Shore, where you can get off in front of your favorite shops, is also a big plus!
初めての乗馬体験でしたが、ガイドの方が親切に説明のアシストをしてくださり、何の不安もなく楽しむ事ができました。
キレイな海沿いをのんびり乗馬するのは貴重な体験です。
ビュースポットで、1人1人丁寧にスマホで写真を撮ってくださり、記念になりました。
最後は、自分を乗せてくれたお馬さんにエサのご褒美。
本当に楽しかったです。
ノースショアでの自由時間も、好きな店の前で下車できるのも、ポイント高いかも!
Thank you for participating in the horseback riding tour with Island Makana Tours. I hope you enjoyed the ride along the coast. It is a very popular tour, so I’m glad to hear you had a great time. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii. Mahalo,

The visit to the pineapple plantation was very good. Haleiwa was relatively quiet, and I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go. I was able to eat at Giovanni's without any wait. The guide, Nori, was also wonderful, making it a very good tour.
パイナップル園の見学は大変良かったです。
ハレイワも比較的空いていて行きたいところもすべて行けました。ジョバンニは待ち時間なしで食べられました。

The tour details from Beltora indicated an end time around 2 PM, but we were informed that the expected arrival time at the hotel would be 3:30 PM. During the latter part of the tour, we moved slowly through downtown and the Ala Moana area while explanations were provided from the bus. We were also asked about taking photos at the King Kamehameha statue. Since I was under the impression that the tour would end around 2 PM, I thought it might be a good idea to revise the introduction page if the hotel arrival time is indeed around 3:30 PM.
ベルトラさんのツアー内容からは終了時間が14時ころとなっていましたが
終了予定時間は15:30ホテル到着と案内され、後半はバスの中からダウンタウンやアラモアナ周辺をゆっくり移動しながら説明がなされました
カメハメハ大王像での写真撮影有無について声をかけていただいたりしました
14時ころ終了と認識していたので、もしホテル到着時間が15:30ころなら紹介ページの修正をしたほうがよいのかな、と思いました

I wanted to join the tour because I had never been to a coffee farm on other optional tours. I have also done a coffee farm tour on the Big Island. I simply love natural coffee, and there were many different flavored coffees. Although it wasn't my favorite coffee, I was glad to have the opportunity to visit. It was my first time exploring a farm. Before participating in the tour, I watched an introductory video and learned about the tour content, and I was able to walk right in the middle of the farm. This time, I was able to taste freshly cut pineapple right from the field. Hawaiian pineapple is delicious, but the pineapple I ate directly at the farm was even better! I was happy to receive a whole pineapple as a souvenir, but I was surprised that I couldn't bring it back to Japan. The staff at the shop was Japanese, and they kindly offered to exchange it for cut pineapple for the Japanese participants, which was very helpful. The pineapple juice and fruit samples at the shop were also very delicious! Additionally, there were three types of Waialua coffee available for tasting, and I purchased some. I thought the tour fee was a bit high, so I was glad to participate in the monitor tour. In terms of the rarity of this tour, I thought it would be fun to experience places like Wahiawa Botanical Garden, which has free admission, aside from the farm.
ほかのオプショナルツアーでは寄ることがほとんどなかったコーヒー農園に行ってみたかったのでツアー参加を希望しました
ハワイ島でもコーヒー農園巡りをしたことがあります
シンプルにナチュナルコーヒーが好きだったのでいろいろなフレーバーコーヒーが多くて
自分の好みコーヒーではなかったですが寄ることができてよかったです
農園は初めての散策です
ツアー参加前に紹介動画をみてツアー内容を知ることができましたが、まさに農園の真ん中散策ができます
今回は農園の畑でもいだパイナップルをその場でカットして試食させていただくこともできました
ハワイのパイナップルはおいしいですが、農園で直接食べたパイナップルはさらに美味しかったです~
おみやげのパイナップルは1玉そのものいただいたときはうれしかったですが、日本に持ち帰りできないしびっくりしました
売店の店員さんが日本人で日本人参加者にはカットパインとチェンジしましょうか?と声をかけていただいて助かりました
売店でのパイナップルジュースと果実も試食として出していただきとても美味しかった!
またワイアルアコーヒーの試飲も3種類あり購入させていただきました
ツアー代金は高いな~と思ったのでモニターツアーに参加できてよかったです
このレアさの強いツアーという意味では農場以外の場所としてワヒアワ植物園とか入場無料ですし、こういう場所の体験ができたりすると楽しいのかなと思いました
This time, the guidance from the Japanese guide was a bit difficult to understand in terms of pronunciation, and the explanations were often incomprehensible for my elderly parents.

We used this service for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed a full hour of horseback riding, and the location was amazing. The horses were well-behaved, with gentle eyes that were just too cute! It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shaded areas, so it wasn't as hot as I expected, and we had a great time! I don't understand English at all, but they showed us a Japanese version of the explanation video, which made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this experience!

Tonight we went to an immersive and interactive luau -it was simply the best and I would highly recommend!
We all had such a great time - we were welcomed like family! We loved learning to drum, spin fire “knives”, wrap fish for cooking, bury the fish to cook on the hot rocks, have a traditional kava ceremony, and weave tea leaves to make bracelets, leis, etc. We then had a catered kalua pork dinner and got to eat the fish we wrapped and cooked. This was so much better than the commercialized luaus we have attended before! If you want a true family experience this is for you. If you want the commercialized cocktail filled experience this isn’t it!

We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!

I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.
ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく1日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。
There may not be artificial fun, but you can feel the old-fashioned Hawaii, so I think it's especially good for those who can find joy in that without any special preparations.
人工的な楽しさはありませんが昔ながらのハワイを感じることが出来るので
そのことに楽しみを感じられる人であれば特に用意はなくても良いと思います。

All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!

Der var flere rækker tomme sæder ved det store aftenshow. Hvorfor ikke lade andre sidde der, så de ser bedre?
