All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide

I used it for a round trip to Ala Moana Center! The double-decker trolley was like an attraction and it was fun.

アラモアナセンターまでの往復で利用させて頂きました！
二階建てのトロリーはまるでアトラクションのようで楽しかったです。

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

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。

We participated in a Segway tour as a family. We were able to travel and sightsee distances that would be impossible to walk. It was fun to visit places that we couldn't reach by bus. The instructor was also kind and took a lot of photos for us. We really had a great time. Thank you very much!

セグウェイを家族で参加しました。
歩くのには無理な距離を移動して観光できました。バスでは行けない所も訪れて楽しかったです。インストラクターさんも親切で写真もいっぱい撮ってもらえました。本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

Because of our schedule, we chose to take the sunrise tour to Diamond Head. There is only one company that offers it that I could tell. It is an expensive ride, but you are the first one there. Note that you arrive 45 minutes before the park opens so you will be waiting in line to get in. You will need to use your flashlight on your phone to get up to the top and the hike is moderately difficult. We were lucky and had a beautiful view on the top. The malsadas are a yummy treat at the end.

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。

The drivers were all friendly, and even though the weather in Hawaii was bad this time, they provided raincoats that we could get for free. The service was excellent. However, there was one time when the trolley didn't arrive on time, and when I went to the first stop, I was told that the first bus wasn't running due to a breakdown. At that moment, I felt it was unkind to those of us waiting, as we didn't have any information about the situation.

運転手の方もみんな楽しく、今回のハワイは天候が悪かったのですが、レインコートまで用意してあって、無料でもらえました。サービスも最高でした。ただ、1回だけ、トロリーが時間内に来なくて始発の停留所に行ったら、故障で一便目は動かなかったの。と言われたときは、状況も分からないし、待ってる方のみとしては不親切だなぁと思いました。

At the ticket counter, I was able to easily exchange my voucher for tickets. Since I took the first train, they also properly informed me about the boarding area, allowing for a smooth boarding experience. On the route from Waikiki, we were able to stop along the way for photo opportunities! The explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand everything, but it was relaxed, and they provided various explanations, making the ride enjoyable. Since it runs along the coast, I think it's the best trolley for enjoying the scenery.

チケットカウンターにバウチャーを見せれば簡単にチケット交換してもらえました。始発から乗ったので乗り場もちゃんと教えてもらえてスムーズに乗車出来ました。ワイキキからのルートでは途中降りて写真撮影させてもらえます!英語での説明なので全ては理解できませんでしたがのんびりしていて、色々説明してくれるので楽しみながら乗車することができました。海岸沿いに走って行くので景色を楽しむには最高のトロリーだと思います。

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。

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。

I use this every time I go to Hawaii. It's the best to feel the wind while enjoying the scenery and being rocked by the trolley! It's sad that the prices keep going up and that the outlet service has been discontinued. It seems like fewer people are using it each year, as sometimes it's even rented out just for us. I also use The Bus and Uber, but the comfort of the trolley is in a league of its own.

毎回ハワイ行くときに利用させていただいてます。
風を感じながら風景を眺めトロリーに揺られる　最高です！
年々高くなってるのと、アウトレット便がなくなってしまったのが悲しいです
年々利用する人も減っているのかたまに貸し切りです
ザバス、ウーバーも利用しますがトロリーの気持ちよさは別格です。

When I go to Hawaii, I always use the trolley. Of course, I take the Waikiki loop, and the East Coast scenic tour is a popular route. It gets fully booked, so it's necessary to line up early.

ハワイに行った時は必ずトローリーを使います
ワイキキ周回はもちろん
東海岸絶景ツアーは人気コースです
満席になりますから早めに並ぶ必要があります

I booked a day when I arrived in Waikiki. It was good for alleviating jet lag since I was active. A guide who spoke Japanese came to pick us up at the hotel, and we strolled around the park near Ala Moana. Since there were just two of us, we had a bit of freedom to stop and buy drinks from a café wagon, which allowed us to fully enjoy the Segway experience. We got caught in a little rain, but we managed to play for the entire time and even saw a beautiful rainbow, which was great.

On the way back, we were dropped off at Ala Moana Shopping Center, but it took a bit of time to get back to the hotel because it was crowded when we took the trolley after shopping.

ワイキキに着いた日を予約しました。体を動かすので時差ボケ解消に良かったです。
ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれて日本語が話せるガイドさんとアラモアナのほうの公園などを散策しました。2人だったので途中カフェワゴンで飲み物を買わせてもらったり少し自由がきいたのでセグウェイを満喫できました。少し雨に降られましたがなんとか時間いっぱい遊べて綺麗な虹も見れて良かったです。
帰りはアラモアナショッピングセンターに送ってもらったのですが、買い物してからトロリーに乗ってホテルの方まで戻るのが混んでいて少し時間がかかりました。

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。

I thought it was nice that there is a four-day course. However, as someone who knows the old trolleys, my impression is that there are significantly fewer trolleys now. Because of this, the trolleys were quite crowded. Also, there are not as many night trolleys as there used to be. The trolleys that go via Don Quijote have also decreased quite a bit, so it often ended up being a walk from Ala Moana after taking the trolley there.

4日間コースがあるのはいいなと思いました。
ただ、昔のトローリーを知っている者としては、
ずいぶんトローリーの本数が少なくなったな・・・・というのが印象です。
なので、1台当たりのトローリーが、結構、混雑が激しかったです。
また昔ほど、夜のトローリーの本数がなくなりました。
ドンキ経由のトローリーも、かなり少なくなり、結局はアラモアナまで行って、そこから歩き・・・・というのが多かったです

There were many courses available, which was great. I used it every day for sightseeing, so it was a good deal. It was especially convenient because I could also ride the pink bus to get to Ala Moana.

コースが沢山あって良かった。観光に毎日利用したのでお得でした。特にピンクバスにも乗れるのでアラモアナ行くには便利です。

I LIKE THE TRIP PUT I THINK SKIP THE COFFEN SHOP AND MORE TIME AT THE WATERRFALL.

We are a couple who are both 60 years old. We tried riding a Segway for the first time. Since we were concerned that operating it might be difficult, we decided to start with a 60-minute session, but after just 10 minutes of practice, we became quite skilled at it.

The instructions were very clear and easy to understand in Japanese. When we actually went outside, it was fun, the scenery was beautiful, and riding through it felt really great. Next time, we plan to participate in a longer session that focuses more on the scenery.

We had a wonderful time.

60歳の同い年夫婦です。セグウェイを初めてやってみました。もし操作が難しいと困るのでとりあえず60分にしてみましたが10分も練習するとかなり上手になっていました。
操作説明も日本語でとてもわかりやすかったです。
実際に外へ出てみたところ、楽しくて景色も良くて、そこを走り抜けるのはとても気持ち良かったです。次回はもっと景色重視でもっと時間たっぷりのものに参加する予定です。
とても良い時間でした。

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。

I used this service during my stay in Waikiki, and it was more convenient than I imagined. It covers almost all the way to Ala Moana, Diamond Head, Kaka'ako, and East Oahu with just this trolley.

There was no stress waiting for buses, and I could visit tourist spots at a good pace, allowing me to fully enjoy sightseeing even with limited days of stay. The interior was clean, and the staff was very courteous.

What I particularly liked was the ability to get on and off at my preferred times. Shopping, café hopping, and visiting tourist attractions went very smoothly.

I think this is a great mode of transportation not only for first-time visitors to Hawaii but also for repeat visitors.

ワイキキ滞在中に利用しましたが、想像以上に便利でした。アラモアナ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、カカアコ、東オアフ方面まで、このトロリーだけでほぼカバーできます。

バスを待つストレスもなく、観光地をテンポよく回れるので、限られた滞在日数でもしっかり観光できます。車内は清潔で、スタッフの対応も丁寧でした。

特に良かったのは、好きなタイミングで乗り降りできる点。ショッピング、カフェ巡り、観光スポット巡りがとてもスムーズにできました。

初ハワイの方はもちろん、リピーターでもかなり使える移動手段だと思います。

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

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。）

It depends on the driver, but there are many wonderful drivers. They explain famous spots in broken Japanese and play Japanese songs to entertain us. If I had to say something, I would like them to increase the number of trips on the East Coast course since it's popular. But I definitely want to use this service again.

ドライバーさんにもよりますが、とっても素敵なドライバーさんが多いです。カタコトの日本語で有名スポットを説明してくれたり、日本の曲を流して楽しませてくれたりということなしです。あえていうなら、東海岸のコースは人気なので本数を増やして欲しいです。でもまた利用したいです。

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）
