All Reviews for Ala Moana Beach Park

I usually practice yoga, and I was interested in SUP yoga, but I hadn't had the opportunity to try it until this trip to Hawaii, so I signed up.

On the day of the activity, it didn't rain, and the temperature was fine. I had to carry the SUP board to the beach myself, and it was quite heavy.

The instructor was not Japanese, but they explained everything in detail, and there were no issues before or after the session.

During the SUP yoga experience, it was quite windy, and there were times when it was hard to hear the instructions (it was dark at night, which made it hard to see), so that was a bit challenging.

The activity itself is something you can't usually experience, and all the participants (except for us, everyone else was foreign) had a lot of fun.

Especially at the beginning, trying to jump on the board and rotate 90 degrees to return was difficult for everyone. Only one young middle school student from a family managed to do it, while the rest fell into the sea and enjoyed trying.

Thank you for the unique experience of yoga that I can't usually have.

ヨガは良くやっているのですが、SUPヨガは興味はありましたが、
此れまで体験する機会がありませんでしたので、今回のハワイ旅行の
機会に申し込みをしました。

当日は、雨も降らず気温なども問題有りませんでした。SUPのボード
は海辺まで自分で運ぶのですが、結構重かったです。

インストラクターは、日本人ではありませんでしたが、色々と細かく
説明をしてくれて、始まる前も終わりも特に問題有りませんでした。

SUPヨガ体験中は結構風が強くで、どういう動作をして下さいという声が
聞こえにくい時も多少あり(夜で暗い事もあり見えにくい）、その点が
少し困ったかなというところでした。

アクティビティーそのものは、普段体験出来る事ではないので、参加者
(私たち以外は外国人)皆でとても楽しんでいました。

特に、最初のころのボードの上で飛んで90度づつ回転して元に戻るのは、
参加者皆苦労して、出来たのは家族ずれの若い中学生くらいの1名くらい
だけで、あとは海に落ちたりして楽しんでトライしていました。

普段できない体験のヨガ有難うございました。

I was drawn to the East Oahu Scenic Line and decided to book it. During my trip to Hawaii two months ago, I enjoyed the Waikiki Trolley service, so this time I took the same East Oahu Scenic Line with the Lealea Trolley. Both drivers were great at keeping the atmosphere lively, but I found Lealea to be just a bit better; it might just be a matter of luck. I booked a plan for 3 nights and 5 days, but on the day of the Aloha Street Jam, even though I waited at Ala Moana, no buses came due to the crowd, and I was able to get back quickly by taking The Bus right in front of me... I only used the trolley 5 times over the 4 days. I thought maybe I should have gotten a one-day pass. For the less frequent services, I lined up about 40 minutes early at the Royal Hawaiian Center for the first bus. I expected it to be a bit easier to hop on, so I hope they increase the frequency for the popular ones. Also, considering the price of The Bus, I felt that the one-day pass was a bit expensive compared to other trolley buses.

東オアフ絶景・ラインに魅力を感じて申し込みました。今回の2ヶ月前のハワイではワイキキトロリーのサービスを申し込み楽しかったので、今回はレアレアトロリーで同じく東オアフ絶景・ラインに乗車しました。どちらも運転手さんが盛り上げ上手で楽しかったですが、レアレアのほうが少しだけ良かったです、これは当たり外れなのかもですね。3泊5日で４日間のプランを申し込みましたが、アロハストリートジャムがあったひは、アラモアナで待っていても混雑からまったくバスがこず、目の前のザバスに乗るとサクサク帰れました…4日間でトロリー使ったのは5回まで。1日券にすれば良かったかな、と思いました。便数が少ないものは、始発のロイヤルハワイアンセンターで40分前ぐらいから並びました。もう少し気軽に乗れると思っていたので、人気のものは動向をみて便数も増やしてほしいです。あと、ザバスの値段を考えると、一日券が少し高いかなぁ、と他のトロリーバスと比べて感じました。

There were a lot of buses, so I was able to board smoothly without much waiting time. It's convenient for going to Farmers and Ala Moana!

本数も多かったのでそんなに待ち時間なくスムーズに乗ることができました。
ファーマーズやアラモアナに行くのに便利です！

The Hilton Islander had a change in its bus stop, so it might be confusing since other buses also stop on the main street. A few people were waiting, and although the bus slowed down a bit, it did not stop. Some people were confused and ran a little, but the bus just went on. It was disappointing. The sunset timing didn't match well depending on the month, so those who wanted to see it returned to the hotel on the Pink Line. The other lines were good.

ヒルトンアイランダーは、停車が、変更になってましたので、メイン通りの他のバスも停車するので、わかりにくいと思いますが、
数人まってましたが、少し低速にはなりましたが、停車しませんでした。
数人が、戸惑って少し走りましたが、そのまま行ってしましました。残念でした。
サンセットは、月によって、うまくタイミングが、合わず、見たい人は、ピンクラインでホテルへ戻りました。
他ラインは、良かったです。

It was a long-awaited Segway experience in Hawaii. I had a fun ride while enjoying the wonderful views at Ala Moana Park along the coast. They even made a movie summarizing the experience, which became a great memory!

ハワイでの久しぶりのセグウェイ体験。
海沿いのアラモアナパークで素晴らしい景色を楽しみながら、楽しいライドでした。
体験をまとめたムービーまで作成いただき、とてもいい思い出になりました！

At 63 years old, I tried a Segway for the first time! They really took the time to teach me how to use it properly. After learning how to use it, we practiced thoroughly at the facility before heading out for a short tour. At Ala Moana Park, they provided plenty of explanations about the plants, history, and even added some humor. On the way back, I was given recommendations for many reasonably priced and delicious restaurants. It was truly a fun attraction!

63歳にして、初セグウェイ！！
最初に使い方を本当に丁寧に教えてくれます。
一通り使い方を教わった後、施設でしっかり練習してからの、ショートツーリングって感じです。アラモアナパークでは、植物やら歴史やらユーモアーたっぷりに説明してくれます。
また、帰りにはリーズナブルで美味しいレストランを、沢山ら教わりました。
本当に楽しいアトラクションでした。

Yoga on the ocean. The waves are calm, and it's an experience in shallow waters, so even beginners can easily participate. After enjoying about an hour of yoga, you can take a commemorative photo in your favorite pose for just $10. You can refresh both your mind and body in the great nature of Hawaii. Don't worry if you're concerned about language barriers.

海の上でのヨガ。波は穏やかで浅瀬での体験なので初心者でも気軽に体験できます。約１時間たっぷりヨガをした後に10$で好きなポーズで記念写真も撮ってもらえます。ハワイの大自然の中で心身ともにリフレッシュできます。言葉に不安がある方も大丈夫です。

It was my first time paddleboarding! The yoga had levels ranging from easy to difficult, and it was fun all the way to the point of falling in, so it's best to go with the expectation of getting completely wet!

初めてのサップでした！
ヨガは難易度が簡単なものから、難しいものまであって、落ちるところまで楽しいという感じだったので、完全に濡れる想定でいったほうがいいです！

Taxis are quite expensive, so having this pass is cheap and convenient. I received advice from Mr. Tamura at Bon Voyage Kobe and decided to purchase it. I see, it's highly recommended.

タクシーは結構割高なので　このパスがあれば安くて便利ですと　ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村さんにアドバイスをいただいて　購入を決定。なるほどお勧めです。

Three of our granddaughters became mermaids for the afternoon. The lived picking their Mermaid tails. The shoot shoot was fantastic we have so many great shots. Jennie was a wonderful instructor of all things Mermaid. Our granddaughters were thrilled!

The guide was kind and recommended delicious restaurants. The breeze was pleasant, and you can take a stroll around Waikiki.

ガイドさんが親切で、美味しいレストランも教えていただきました
風が気持ちよく、ワイキキをぐるっと回れます

Jenny was very patient and kind with my 10 year old who had anxiety. This was a good beginner snorkel lesson!

I have participated in the Kailua Diamond Head Tour and the Magic Island Waterfront Tour with friends, family, and my spouse, and each time there are surprises and discoveries. I join these tours every time I go to Hawaii. This time, the meeting location was a bit hard to find, so I was glad to take an Uber from Waikiki. I hope the Kailua Tour will resume next year.

ハワイ島での体験を含めカイルア　ダイアモンドヘッドツアー　マジックアイランドウォターウォターフロントツアー　友達とも家族とも夫婦でも参加してますが　毎回驚きと間道が有りHAWAIIに行く度に参加してます
今回集後場所がちょっと分かりにくかったので　waikikiからUberで行って良かった
来年カイルアツアーが再開されるといいな

It was my first time on a Segway, but they taught me how to ride it carefully, and I had a really fun experience. I'm glad I signed up. I want to ride again!

初めてのセグウェイでしたが、乗り方を丁寧に教えて頂き、とっても楽しく体験することが出来ました。
申し込んで良かったです。また乗りたい〜

The sunset at Ala Moana was wonderful. The weather was perfect, and I had a valuable experience. It was neither too hot nor too cold, and I enjoyed a pleasant breeze.

アラモアナのサンセット。素晴らしかった。お天気もバッチリで貴重な体験できました。暑くも寒くもなく気持ちの良い風の中整いました。

I had a great time moving around leisurely while enjoying the scenery to reach my destination. When I go to Hawaii, I mainly rely on the trolley for transportation, so I use it every time.

目的地まで色んなところを回るため、景色を見ながらのんびり移動でき、楽しかったです。
ハワイに行く時はトロリー移動が主なので毎回お世話になっています。

I was very satisfied running through the town of Honolulu and along the coast while feeling the breeze! I will definitely sign up again when I come to Hawaii!

ホノルルの町中と海沿いなど風を感じながら走れ非常に満足できました！また、ハワイに来る際にはぜひ申し込みいたします！

It was so good even we don’t have any yoga experience before!
It is very nice to be the first schedule in hawaii!!

I was able to see beautiful scenery, and it was great that I could take photos along the way. This is my second time on this line, and I would like to ride it again!

綺麗な景色を見ることができ、途中写真撮影もさせていただけ良かったです。
このラインは二度目ですが、また乗車したいと思います！

I was glad that there were many buses. I think the interval between the next bus was just right. Be careful as it shakes quite a bit inside the trolley.

バスの本数が多いめでよかったです。次のバスの時間もちょうど良い間隔だったと思います。トロリー内は結構揺れるので注意です。

They provided polite assistance regarding the hotel shuttle and how to ride a Segway. The staff member in charge was a Japanese person raised in Hawaii, so there was no language barrier, which made it easy to enjoy. My wife was able to ride right away, and the hour and a half went by in no time. It was truly fun! If I have the chance, I would like to ride a Segway again next time.

ホテルの送迎やセグウェイの乗り方について丁寧に対応して頂きました。担当のお兄さんはハワイ育ちの日本人、言葉の壁がなく安心して楽しめました。家内も直ぐに乗れるようになって1時間半はあっ言うまでした。　実に面白い！
チャンスがあれば次回もセグウェイに乗ってみたいです。

It was the perfect experience to understand scuba diving. Reda was a patient, knowledgeable and fun instructor. The group caught on quickly and then got to scuba in the lagoon and see coral, fish and sea life. Highly recommend this tour.

LeaLea Trolley - Complete Coverage of All Routes

The East Oahu Scenic Line offered thrilling views that I thoroughly enjoyed. This time, I rode it four times. The color of the ocean changes depending on the time of day. No matter how many times I ride, the scenery never gets boring. It seems that the first morning trip tends to be crowded.

LeaLeaトロリー　全路線制覇

東オアフ絶景・ラインは、スリル満点で絶景を楽しめました。今回は、4回乗りました。
時間帯により違う海色が見えます。
何度乗っても飽きない景気でした。
朝一便目は混み合うみたいです。

I felt that a trolley is absolutely necessary for a stay in Honolulu. The LeaLea Trolley has many routes, and the courses are set up with tourists in mind, making it very fulfilling. Just riding it allows you to feel the essence of Hawaii, and the cost performance was great.

ホノルル滞在にトロリーは絶対必要だと感じました。LeaLeaトロリーは路線数も多いし、観光客目線でコースも設定されており、充実した内容でした。乗ってるだけで、ハワイを感じれるコスパもグッドでした。

I kept jumping back and forth with scuba diving vs snorkeling. I’m glad I chose snorkeling! our instructor was Rida, he made the experience great with his cheesey jokes and his knowledge of the sea life. He was also very kind and understanding to those who were very afraid of deep water and using the snorkel for the first time.

When you think of Hawaii, you think of the trolley while feeling the breeze. You can enjoy it just by riding along without doing anything, and I believe this is more of an attraction than just a means of transportation.

It's helpful that they sell tickets separately without going through His, but since the pandemic, the discount tricks are no longer available, and it's too expensive, so I reduced my rating. However, you could say it's lucky that it's less crowded than before.

Be careful as the railings are so open that you might drop something. Hats can fly off, and depending on the driver, they might start moving before everyone is seated, and some drivers have rough driving styles. This is not Japan. Everyone should be cautious and take responsibility for themselves, as you shouldn't ride with a Japanese mindset.

Because of this, infants and toddlers can only sit in priority seats that are covered by railings (it feels scary to sit anywhere else). If you start from the first train, staff will guide you to the priority seats, but if you're boarding from the suburbs and there are no seats available, you should actively ask others to make space for the priority seats. Many drivers lack the Japanese language skills to explain this.

This is what Hawaii is all about.

やっぱりハワイといえば、
風を浴びながらのトロリー。
何をしなくても、ぼけーっと乗っているだけでたのしめる、これはもはや移動手段じゃなくアトラクションだと思っています。

Hisを通さず旅行しても、
こうやって単品で売ってくれて助かるのですが、コロナ後からは裏技の割引も使えなくなり、高すぎますので星を減らしました。
ただ、昔より空いていてラッキーともいえます。

ものを落としそうなくらい足元の空いた柵なのでくれぐれも注意、
帽子は飛びますし、ドライバーさんによっては着席前の発車もザラ、
荒い運転のかたもいて、
そこは、日本ではありません。
みなさんくれぐれも、日本の感覚では乗らないように、自己責任で。

そのため幼児や赤子は柵が覆われた優先席しか乗れません(怖くてそこじゃないとという感じ)
始発からだと係員に優先席を案内してもらえるのですが、郊外などからのる場合、
空いてなければ自分から積極的に優先席を開けて欲しいと、声をかけましょう。
ドライバーも、それを説明するほどの日本語力がない方が多いので。

やっぱりハワイは、これです。

The trolley is just a means of transportation, so I didn't have any particular issues with the service. I picked up my tickets at the HIS counter on-site, but the staff there was inflexible and quite condescending. I felt they were tired of explaining the same things repeatedly. I wanted to ask just the essential questions since I was short on time, but when I did, I was met with a big sigh and told, "Can you please let me finish speaking first?" which surprised me. Additionally, my child wanted to use the restroom, but I was told it couldn't be used until all the procedures were completed. We ended up going to another restroom in the building. I wished I had bought the tickets without going through HIS.

トロリーはあくまで手段なので、サービスとして特に困ったことはありませんでした。現地で HISのカウンターでチケットを受け取るのですが、そこのスタッフが融通が利かず、高圧的で、同じことを何度も説明されているので飽き飽きしているとは思うのですが、こちらから事前に基本的なことはWebなどで確認したうえで、時間がないので知りたいことだけを、先に聞きたかったのですが、質問をしても大きなため息をつかれて、「まず私の話を最後まで聞いてくれますか？」といわれて驚きました。また子供がトイレを借りたかったのですが、すべての手続きを終えてからではないと貸せない、と言われました。館内の他のトイレに行きました。HISを通さないでチケットを買いたいと思いました。

Overall, the experience was fantastic. My wife and I are certified divers, and we wanted to introduce our boys (13 and 17) to the world of scuba diving without the time commitment of a full certification course. This introductory dive was relaxed and a great way to get them underwater without the need for certification. We wanted to gauge their interest before committing to the certification process. I can see scuba diving in their future.

While the underwater sights weren’t as abundant as you might find while snorkeling in surrounding areas, this experience offered something different, the chance to hover beneath the surface and breathe underwater. Our instructor, Alex, was fantastic and incredibly supportive throughout the adventure. I highly recommend this as a quick and enjoyable way to experience scuba diving.

Nick was AWESOME! We went as a family (child age 11) and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I used it for two days, and it was convenient and amazing! I plan to use it again from the morning tomorrow! It's great to be able to sightsee by bus.

2日利用しましたが便利で最高でした！明日もまた朝から利用するつもりでおります！バスで観光ができるのは最高です。
