Waikiki
We saw colorful tropical fish, coral reefs, shipwrecks, and sunken airplanes!
The boat on the way there was quite rocky, but the submarine was steady and very beautiful. Since we went on the day of arrival, I got a bit sleepy along the way, but it was fun!
行きの船がかなり揺れたけど潜水艦は揺れもなくとても綺麗でした。到着日に行ったので途中眠くなったけど楽しかったです!
I just wanted a round trip, so I chose this option. I'm glad you took care of the entry procedures for me. I usually don't go mountain climbing, but I was able to reach the top relatively easily. If walking isn't a burden for you, I think you can climb without too much difficulty. The scenery was beautiful, and I'm glad I climbed. On the way back, since it was Saturday, I was dropped off at the KCC Market. Thank you for your accommodating service.
往復だけお願いしたくて、こちらにしました
入山の手続きもしておいていただき、よかったです
普段、山登りなどはしませんが、一番上までは、割と楽にいくことができました
歩くのが苦でなければ、割と無理なく登れると思います
景色は美しく、登ってよかったです
帰りに土曜日だったので、KCCマーケットでおろしていただきました 応用の対応もしていただき、ありがとうございました
In other reviews, it was mentioned that water was provided later, but we were able to choose between room temperature or chilled water before we started climbing.
他の方の口コミで、お水は後からもらったと書いてありましたが、私たちは登る前に、常温か冷えた水かも選べた上でもらえました
Fun experience, guides were very knowledgeable.
Didn't see nearly the fish that I thought we would.
Man-made reef so not really colorful.
Fun to say we went on a submarine.
Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!
Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide
On the last morning in Honolulu, I signed up for this tour. I chose the earliest pickup time. The day before, I received a text message in English confirming the meeting time and location.
On the morning of the tour, I was waiting to see if someone would come to call my name in the lobby. When a large vehicle arrived, I thought it might be for me, and I should have spoken up, but I waited until I was called. Eventually, about five minutes later, the driver got out of the car and called my name. I thought it would be smoother if they also provided the car's license plate number via text in case no one came to call me.
The same driver was shuttling between the hotel and Diamond Head. Although they said they would pick me up at 8:35, they ended up being 30 minutes late. Since the hotel checkout was until 12:00, I was able to take a shower and change after returning to the hotel before heading to the airport. However, I know some hotels have a 10:00 checkout, so I was surprised by the 30-minute delay on the return trip. Moreover, the excuse was that they had to go to seven different hotels, and that group was late by 2-3 minutes each, causing the 30-minute delay. As I mentioned earlier, I believe if they had called names right away during the gathering, it wouldn't have taken so long.
ホノルル最終日の朝、このツアーに申し込みました。1番早いピックアップ時間に申し込みしました。前日にショートメールが英文で届き待ち合わせ時間と集合場所の確認メールが届きます。
当日の朝、ロビーまで名前を呼びに来るのかな?と思い、待っていました。大きな車が来たからそれかな?と思いこちらからも声をかけたら良かったのですが、呼ばれるまで待っていました。でも結局5分後くらいにその車からドライバーが降りて名前を呼んできました。もし呼びに来ないなら、車のナンバーなどもショートメールで教えてくれたらスムーズだと思った。同じドライバーが一台の車をピストンさせて、ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドの送迎をしています。帰りは8:35に迎えに来ると言っていたのに結局30分も遅刻してお迎えに来ました。ホテルのチェックアウトが12:00までだったので、今回はホテルに戻った後にシャワーを浴びて着替えてから飛行機に乗れましたがチェックアウトが10:00のホテルもあると思うので帰りの30分の遅刻は、驚きました。しかも、言い訳が7個のホテルを回ってそのグループが2.3分ずつ遅刻して30分遅れたとのこと‥最初にも書きましたが、集合時すぐに名前を呼んで乗車されたらそんなに時間が遅くならないと思いました。
Since it's Hawaii time, it's also our group's responsibility for planning at the last minute, but the driver is not punctual. They are selling flimsy plastic ponchos for $5 in the car. It would be fin
ハワイ時間なので、ギリギリで予定を立てた私たちグループの責任でもありますが、ドライバーが時間にルーズです。車の中でペラペラのビニールポンチョを5ドルで販売しています。事前に100均で準備すればok!!
I received an email the day before asking to change the show time from 8 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Since we could communicate in translation, there was no problem. A cheerful uncle chatted happily as we headed there, and it was fun♪ Even though it was in English, there were no issues.
8時代を7時代に変更してほしい、とショーでメールが前日に届きました。翻訳でやり取りできるので、問題なかった。陽気なおじ様が楽しくおしゃべりしながら向かい、楽しかったです♪英語だけど、問題なしでした。
There might be changes the day before, so it's better to check your email. Did you receive water? Just in case, bring some with you.
前日に変更があるかもしれないので、メールは確認した方がいい。水は貰えましたか、念の為持参。
The path has almost no shade and goes straight up. The last set of stairs now has a detour, which is reassuring. It took about 45 minutes to climb and 30 minutes to descend for a fourth grader.
日陰は、ほぼ無く細い道をひたすら登ります。
最後の階段は迂回路が出来たので安心です
小学生4年生で登り45分程度、下り30分程度でした
A hat and sneakers, water is essential.
帽子と運動靴、水は必須です
The driver's response was very polite. It seems that it's possible to take a regular bus, but in the early morning, this kind of shuttle service is more reassuring.
運転手さんの対応はご丁寧でした。
路線バスでも行けない事は無さそうですが、早朝の場合はこうした送迎サービスの方が安心です。
It was suggested that it's better to prepare a tip (the standard is about 15-20% of the tour price).
チップをご用意した方が良いとの事でした(ツアー料金の15〜20%程度が相場という圧)。
I rode a submarine for the first time. I had a great time enjoying the underwater world where fish and sea turtles live. It became a memorable time in Hawaii! I highly recommend it.
初めて潜水艦に乗りました。お魚やウミガメが暮らしている海底の世界を満喫できてとっても楽しかったです。ハワイで思い出に残る時間となりました!とってもおすすめです。
If you're someone who gets easily motion sick, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication for peace of mind.
酔いやすい人は酔い止め飲んでおくと安心かも?
I was told that we could hike at our own pace, but considering the meeting time, I couldn't take it too slowly. For those who don't exercise much on a regular basis, want to take breaks while climbing, or want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, it might feel a bit rushed.
There are Japanese brochures available, and the driver spoke a little Japanese, which was reassuring. I didn't feel particularly anxious about that.
The pickup was on time, but the return meeting was about 15 minutes late. I felt a bit disappointed, thinking that if I had known, I could have taken it a bit slower.
自分のペースでハイキングとあったのですが、集合時間を考えるとあまりゆっくりはできなかったです。日頃からあまり運動をされていない方、休憩しなから登りたい方、景色をゆっくり楽しみたい方には慌ただしいかなと思います。
日本語のパンフレットもあるし、運転してくださる方は片言ですが日本語を話してくださりました。特に不安はありません。
お迎えは遅刻することはありませんでしたが、帰りの待ち合わせは15分ぐらい遅れてきました。それなら、もう少しゆっくりできたのにと少し残念な気持ちになりました。
If you want to take it easy, I recommend the route pass.
ゆっくりしたい方は、路線パスをお勧めします
We will take a boat to the sea at Waikiki, and during that time, we can see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki. There aren't many fish in the waters of Waikiki, but there are a lot of fish around the sunken ship, which is very interesting. When you take photos, they come out a bit blue and are somewhat hard to see, but if you actually see it, you can tell that the sea is beautiful. The interior of the ship is a bit cold. However, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I don't think I'll have such an experience again.
船でワイキキの海に行きますが、その間にダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。ワイキキの海の中はあまり魚はいないですが、沈没船の周りには多くの魚がおり、非常に面白いです。写真を撮ると青みがかかり、少し見にくいですが、実際に見れば美しい海だと言うことがわかります。艦内は少し寒いです。ただ、本当に素晴らしい体験でしたし、こんな経験は2度とできないでしょう。
There is no Japanese guide. You can download the audio of the Japanese guide before participating, but we didn't listen to that audio and still had a great time.
日本語のガイドはありません。参加前に日本語のガイドの音声をダウンロードできますが、私たちはその音声を聴かなかったですが、全然楽しめました。
The underwater scenery with sunken ships and airplane wrecks was amazing. We saw a lot of fish as well. However, my wife seemed to be struggling with seasickness.
沈没船や飛行機の残骸など、海の中は凄かった。たくさんの魚もみられた。
ただ、妻は船酔いで辛そうでした。
I intended to do some small fish fishing, but I ended up catching a Spanish mackerel while trolling during the move!
After that, I continued fishing for small fish and was quite satisfied!
I participated with a light heart, and it was really great!
I don't understand Japanese at all.
小物釣りのつもりが移動中のトローリングでサワラカマスがヒット!
その後本来の小物釣りでも適当に釣り続けて満足でした!
軽い気持ちで参加しましたがとても良かったです!
日本語は全く通じません
Even in the white waves, the boat didn't sway that much.
白波でもそんなに船は揺れませんでした。
It's about an hour, but you can relax by drinking some beverages, eating snacks, and enjoying the sea breeze.
1時間程度の時間ですが、
ドリンクを飲んだり、スナックを食べたり
潮風を浴びたりとゆっくりすることができます
The biggest advantage is that it specializes in transportation, allowing you to focus on hiking at your own pace without unnecessary sightseeing guides or time constraints. The panoramic view from the summit is breathtaking, but the crowds due to its popularity are unavoidable. By using this shuttle, you can smoothly return to Waikiki after descending in the morning, making it a very practical option for those who want to make effective use of their time.
送迎に特化しているため、余計な観光案内や拘束時間がなく、自分のペースでハイキングに集中できる点が最大のメリットと言えます。
頂上からのパノラマビューは圧巻ですが、人気スポットゆえの混雑は避けられません。このシャトルを利用すれば下山後もスムーズにワイキキへ朝には戻れるため、時間を有効に活用したい方には非常に実用的な選択肢です。
The tour time was neither too busy nor too leisurely; it was a good amount of time. The view from Diamond Head was very beautiful, and it was a great experience to participate.
ツアーの時間は忙しくもなく時間を持て余すわけでもない、いい時間でした。ダイアモンドヘッドからの景色はとても綺麗で参加していい体験でした。
I participated in the earliest time slot experience. On the way to Diamond Head in the shuttle, I saw many people running. Mornings in Hawaii start early! Whether you can see the sunrise or not, I highly recommend this experience for morning activities! The shuttle takes you to the ticket office, so it requires less stamina than climbing from the bottom. I did this experience on my first morning in Hawaii and established a rhythm for waking up early.
1番早い時間帯の体験に参加しました。
送迎車でダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう途中、ランニングしている人もたくさん見ます。ハワイの朝は早い!
日の出が見れても見れなくても、朝活にぜひおすすめの体験です!券売所まで送迎してくれるので、下から登るより体力は要りません。ハワイ初めての朝にこの体験をし、早起きのリズムをつくりました。
It's best to avoid arriving exactly at the pickup time. Both pickups and drop-offs tend to arrive early.
迎え時間ピッタリに向かうのは避けた方が良いです。迎えも、送りも、早めに来ます。
First off the driver, Matthew was great, I couldn't find the pick up spot and he called me and got me there. My fault, I get lost crossing the street. It was rainy, but the place was packed for the 6:15 am trip. 2vhours is more than enough to hike to the top and take pictures along the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
This tour was awesome - the waterfall is breathtaking and I loved being able to take my time, enjoy the scenery, and snap great photos along the way
We are a couple who are not good at mountain climbing, but the Diamond Bed is different. We both felt it was worth climbing. While experiencing various histories, the view from the summit is exceptional. Also, the driver who provided the transportation was very kind and truly a wonderful person.
山登りが苦手な夫婦です。ダイヤモンドベッドだけは違います。登る価値があると夫婦で感じました。色んな歴史に触れながら、頂上の風景は格別です。
それと、送迎をしてくださったドライバーさんがとても親切で本当に良い方でした。
Even if you're not good at mountain climbing, please make sure to visit at least once. I think you'll feel the change in the scenery you see.
山登りが苦手な方でもぜひ一度は訪れてみてください。みる景色が変わって感じると思います。
It was my first time on a boat, and I was very excited to see so many fish. I also loved the photos (keychain) that were taken, and even after returning home, I attached it to my bag and occasionally take a peek at it♪
はじめての船、たくさんのお魚に大興奮でした。撮って頂いた写真(キーホルダー)も気に入って、帰国後もカバンに付けて時折覗き込んでいます♪
I originally signed up for 7:20, but I received a message the day before the tour asking to change it to 8:20. I couldn't answer the call because I was in another activity, and I only noticed the message later when I checked my email. It might be a good idea to check your phone and email frequently while staying in Hawaii, at least until the day before the tour.
A cheerful driver picked us up. We received water after descending (I might have wanted it earlier, haha). From the bottom, the summit looked very far away, and I was worried about whether I could return in two hours with my preschooler (who is in their last year). However, we were able to climb more smoothly than I expected. After descending, we had enough time to rest on a bench and look at souvenirs.
元々7:20で申込んでいましたが、ツアーの前日に8:20に変更して欲しいとの連絡がありました。
別のアクティビティ中に着信が来ていたので電話には出られず、後からメールを見て気づくことができました。
ハワイ滞在中でもツアー前日までは念のため電話、メールをこまめに確認しておくといいかもしれません。
陽気なドライバーさんが送迎してくれました。お水は下山した後にもらいました。(先に欲しかったかも笑)
下からは頂上がとても遠くに見えたので未就学児(年長)を連れて2時間で戻って来れるかなと不安になりましたが、思ったよりサクサク登れました。下山後もベンチで休憩したりお土産を見る時間的余裕がありました。
Since the guide was very energetic and spoke in English from the morning, I had some concerns about the mountain climbing, but my motivation to climb increased.
朝からとても元気よく英語でのガイドしてくれたので山登りに多少の心配がありましたが、登る気分が高まりました。
The shuttle driver was cheerful and it was fun. It takes a bit of physical effort, but once you reach the top and see the view, your spirits lift, and I even saw a rainbow. It was a bit cloudy, so if it had been sunnier, it would have been even better.
送迎の運転手さんが愉快で楽しかった。
体力は少し使うけど、登りきって景色を見れば気分上々で虹も見れました。
少し曇り気味だったのでもっと晴れてたらもっと最高
There are some areas along the way where the ground is uneven.
途中足元がガタガタなところがあります
We had such a wonderful time on our sunset cruise while in Oahu. Lost track of how many whales we saw while out there. And the staff were so incredibly nice. Special shout out to Vivian who spent some extra time with my son who was feeling very shy. We truly had a lovely night.
This was my first time climbing Diamond Head, and I wasn't sure about the procedures for the climb or how to get there, so I decided to book a shuttle plan. I signed up for a pickup at 6:20, but the day before, I received a notification that the time had changed to 7:20. I was able to confirm this change through a phone call and email from the hotel front desk, so I wasn't worried.
On the day of the pickup at 7:20, I arrived early and waited, and the car arrived right on time. The driver was a very pleasant man, and I was able to depart without any anxiety, making the climb enjoyable. There were children and elderly people climbing as well, but it was surprisingly tough. I think it's best to wear proper hiking shoes and clothing. (The night before, there had been rain and strong winds, but it was sunny in the morning. However, there were some muddy spots, so caution is needed during the rainy season.)
After finishing the climb and returning to the car, I was given a cold bottle of water. When I asked the driver, "We would like to stop by a nearby café on the way back, is it better to part ways here?" he immediately seemed to understand and asked for the name of the café, saying, "You can go ahead and drop you off there." Since it was a café near Diamond Head, I was dropped off there instead of at the hotel. I really appreciated the kindness and felt safe participating in this experience. Thank you very much. (On the way back from the café, I enjoyed a pleasant walk back to my hotel in Waikiki.)
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るのは初めてで、登るための手続きもよくわからないし、現地に行くのにどうするか…と考えるのも面倒だったので送迎プランを申し込みました。6:20お迎えのプランで申し込みましたが、前日になって時間変更の連絡があり、7:20に変更に。その連絡はホテルのフロントからの電話とメールで確認ができたので不安はありませんでした。
当日は7:20お迎えだったので早めに待機しておりましたが、時間ぴったりに車が到着しました。とても感じのいい男性ドライバーさんで、不安なく出発→登山も楽しくできました。子供や年配の方も登っていますが、意外ときついです。きちんと登山しやすい靴・服装でいくといいと思います。(前日の夜に雨と強風が吹いており、当日朝は晴れておりました。ですが、少し足元がぬかるんでいるところがあったので、雨季は注意が必要です。)
登山を終えて車に戻ると、冷たいお水(ペットボトル)を渡してくださいました。そして、「私たちは帰りに近くのカフェに寄りたいので、ここで解散したほうがいいですか?」とドライバーさんに聞くと、すぐにそのカフェのことがわかったようでそのカフェの名前を言って聞いてくださり、「乗って行っていいよ」と言ってくださいました。ダイヤモンドヘッド近くのカフェなので、ホテルではなくカフェ近くで降ろしていただきました。とても親切で、安心して参加させていただけたことに感謝しております。ありがとうございました。(カフェの帰りはお散歩がてらワイキキのホテルまで歩いて帰りましたが気持ちよかったです。)
I saw some reviews mentioning that they didn't receive water, so if it’s not offered to you, I think it’s a good idea to ask. There was a cooler in the back of the car, and they handed it to me from t
口コミで、お水がもらえなかったと書いている方がいらっしゃるので、もし手渡されなかったら聞いてみるといいと思います。車の後ろにクーラーボックスがあり、そこから出して手渡してくださいました。
The driver was a cheerful person. It was fun! On the day I participated, most of the attendees were Japanese. They provided timely pick-up and drop-off services.
ドライバーさんが陽気な方でした。楽しかったです!
私が参加した日は日本人の方がほとんどでした。時間通りに送迎をしてくれました。
It was my first time at Diamond Head, and the guide explained the best way to get there using a Japanese pamphlet, which was very easy to understand. Although the explanation was in English, it was no problem since they explained it multiple times. They also give you mineral water on the way back (laughs).
初めてのダイアモンドヘッドでしたが、ガイドさんが車内と着いてから日本語パンフレットで
一番良い行き方を説明してくれて、分かりやすかったです。英語の説明ですが、何度も説明してくれるので問題ありません。ミネラルウオーターは帰りにくれます(笑)
