Waikiki
I finally got to go to the Makapu'u Trail, which I've been interested in for a long time! When we stopped by the blowhole, it was raining heavily, but by the time we reached Makapu'u, the weather cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The views of Kailua and the mountains were stunning. The driver was very kind and made a stop at Leonard's for everyone’s request, so we didn’t have to go to the shop ourselves. I heard some people took the Blue Line of the Waikiki Trolley, but I think the tour is convenient and offers good value for both time and cost. I was hoping to see whales, but unfortunately, we didn’t spot any. If we had, it would have been a five-star experience. Thank you!
前から興味を持っていた、マカプウトレイルにとうとう行けました!ブローホールに立ちよった時は雨がひどかったのですが、マカプウについた頃は晴れて、景色を堪能できました。カイルア方面や山々、絶景でした。ドライバーさんがとても親切で、みんなのリクエストでレナーズのトラックにも寄ってくれたので、お店に行かなくてもすみました。ワイキキトロリーのブルーラインで行く方もいるようですが、ツアーが便利でタイパ、コスパともにいいと思います。クジラも期待していたのですが、見られませんでした。見られたら⭐5つです。ありがとうございました。
Since the wind was strong, please be careful not to let your hat fly away. During this time of year, when it rains, your body can get cold, so take precautions.
風が強かったので、帽子を飛ばされないように気をつけてください。この時期、雨がふると体が冷えるので対策を。

At Zavas, it takes a lot of time, but with the tour, we arrived in no time. There are no restrooms at the trailhead, so it's reassuring that we could stop at the beach's restroom along the way.
The Makapu'u Trail itself is an easy walk on a paved path, and since it was cloudy partway through, we were able to climb comfortably in the cool weather. We also saw whale spouts several times.
It was refreshing to see Diamond Head from a different angle than the Waikiki side.
ザバスではとても時間がかかるので、ツアーだとあっという間に到着。
登山口にはトイレがないので、途中でビーチのトイレに寄ってもらえるのも安心。
マカプウトレイル自体は舗装された道で歩きやすく、途中から曇りだったので涼しく登れました。
クジラの潮吹きも何度か見れました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドがワイキキ側とは違う方から見れて、新鮮でした。
Since there is no shade, don't forget to bring sun protection like a hat or sunglasses.
日陰がないので帽子やサングラスなど、日除けを忘れずに。

I visited before and it was so great that I'm coming back. It's more of a walk up a slope than trekking, so I think it's perfect for beginners and elderly people. The scenery while walking slowly was amazing. Especially coming down while looking at the ocean felt incredibly refreshing. I'm glad I came to Hawaii. The driver was very energetic and explained the scenery until we arrived at Makapu'u, and he even made a stop for a restroom break, which was very considerate. On the way back, I asked to stop at Ala Moana instead of the hotel (since it was on the way), and they accommodated my request. Thank you!
以前行った時に、とても良かったので再来訪です。トレッキングというよりは、坂道を歩くので、トレッキング初心者やお年寄りの方には最適かと思います。ゆっくり歩いて眺める景色は最高でした。特に海を見ながら降りて来るのが最高に気持ちいいです。ハワイに来て良かったと思います。ドライバーの方がとても元気な方で、マカプウに到着するまでの景色の説明をしてくれ、途中でトイレにも行ってくれて、気遣いが素敵でした。帰り、ホテルではなくアラモアナに寄って欲しいと言ったら（通り道だったので）、対応していただきました。ありがとうございます。

The hike up to the light house was epic! Beautiful! Glad we did it. The weather also cooperated so we were blessed with beautiful blue skies. Picture perfect!
Blow hole… wish we could have stayed longer. 10 minutes wasn’t enough to appreciate the sights.
Do it! Great hike with less physical exertion so you get to enjoy every step and the beauty around
While slowly taking photos and enjoying the view of the vast ocean, I also spotted dolphins along the way. It was simply wonderful.
大海原を見ながらゆっくりと写真もとりながら、途中でイルカをも見つけました。とにかく、素晴らしかったです。
I was the only Japanese person, but there was no problem at all. It's easy to climb! I recommend it!
日本人は私1人でしたが何の問題もありません。気楽に登れます！お勧めです！

The Makapu'u Lookout, included in other tours, is a viewpoint located at the base of this cape. While it offers beautiful scenery worth visiting on its own, the view towards the ocean is limited due to the small hill in the direction of the cape. The trail on this tour goes around that hill, and especially in the latter half, you walk along the cliffs towering over the vast ocean (the path is well-maintained, so it's not dangerous) and ascend to the highest point overlooking the lighthouse. The grandeur of the scenery along the way is incomparable to the lookout. You should definitely experience it.
This tour itself does not include any other sightseeing, just a round-trip shuttle to the trailhead, but I think it is the most convenient means of transportation from Waikiki to this trail.
他のツアーにも含まれているマカプウルックアウトは、この岬の付け根にある展望スポットで、もちろんそこだけでも行く価値のある美景ですが、岬方向が小高い山になっているため、海原方向の眺望は臨めません。このツアーで行くトレイルはその小山を回り込んで、特に後半は大海原にそびえる絶壁の上を歩いて（歩道はよく整備されているので危なくはないです）、灯台を見下ろす最高地点まで上ります。その道中の景色の壮大さは、ルックアウトとは比較になりません。ぜひ体感してください。
なおこのツアー自体はトレイルの入口までの往復シャトルで他に特に観光を含みませんが、ワイキキからこのトレイルまでの交通手段としては最も便利だと思います。
I sweated a little even in December. It might be tough during the summer.
１２月でも少々汗をかきました。夏場はつらいかもです。

Many thanks for the tour guider excellent work, help us to take the group pictures, show us some trick steps to capture a beautiful moment. We also like the program, very good to fit senior people activity abilities, relax, no risk, smoothly walking to each spots, enough time staying.
Excellent program!
This was my second time at Makapu'u. That said, it was quite a while ago, so I challenged myself again after a long time. The weather was nice, and it felt really good. It was a windy day, so my hair ended up looking like Medusa!
実は2回目のマカプウ。とはいえだいぶ前なので久しぶりに挑戦しました。お天気良くてとても気持ちよかったです。風が強い日でしたので髪の毛がメデューサみたいになりました！

I was the only Japanese person on the English tour, but I had a great time.
The roads were well-maintained, so there were no issues, but be careful of the collapsed fence on the cliffside leading to the lighthouse and watch out for falling rocks from above. The guide advised against going there. Since I couldn't see the situation from above, I decided to go partway and planned to turn back if I judged it to be dangerous, but I was relieved that I was able to pass through safely. I think it’s a tour with plenty of time.
I appreciated being dropped off right next to the hotel on the way back. It was a place I would consider visiting again ❤️
英語ツアーで日本人は私だけでしたが、楽しめました。
道も整備されていて問題ないですが、ライトハウスに行く崖側は柵が崩壊しているのと上からの落石には十分注意した方がいいです。
ガイドさんは行かないで欲しいと言っていました。
上からは状況がわからなかったので途中まで行って危険と判断したら戻るつもりで自己責任で行きましたが通れたので良かったとホッとしてます。
時間も十分にあるツアーだと思います。
帰りはホテル横まで送ってもらえて感謝
また行ってもいいと思える場所でした❤️

I was so impressed with the scenic views!! The different locations to snap photos as well as the time given to take absolutely breathtaking photos was amazing!! This was an absolute hidden treasure!! The time the tour guide took to show you how to use your camera and what views would look perfect was great! I loved ever second of this tour!
Our guide was fantastic, he told us all kinds of information about the landscape and surrounding area. The trail was beautiful as were the views and the blowhole was super cool. Hanauma bay was gorgeous, unfortunately we didnt get to snorkel because they had to close the bay down due to multiple jellyfish stings, but our guide was accommodating and came back early to get us.
Tour guide was very easy going, friendly and funny. Made the tour enjoyable. Takes you to beautiful spots around the island. You get plenty of time for photos
Our tour guide Alex was excellent. He is friendly and knowledgeable about the island, as well as, photography. I learned a lot about my camera and how to improve on my landscape compositions. I highly recommend Alex from Oahu Photography Tours to take you on your sunset photography excursion.
Thank you for the review :) I appreciate you taking the time to write this. Hope to see you again one day.
This is a great tour for anyone who wants to learn how to use their camera better (even smartphone cameras!). I didn't feel rushed and because of our slower pace, our guide was able to delve deeper into explaining about the history and culture of each spot. Each shot became an opportunity to learn, which I really appreciated.
I'd recommend this tour for anyone who loves beautiful views and exploration at a slower pace. A camera is not necessary to enjoy yourself!
What a great shot Amy! Thank you for joining one of our tours. We hope to take you to more amazing locations around the island next time you are in the islands. Aloha
