All Reviews for Circle Island Tours

While waiting at the meeting point, the driver-guide arrived. Once we boarded the bus, I realized I was the only Japanese person... Oh? I thought it would be a tour full of Japanese people, so I was a bit nervous. However, the driver-guide occasionally spoke to us in broken Japanese, which made me feel a little relieved, and it turned out that he was actually very good at Japanese.

First, we had freshly made malasadas. I was happy to be able to eat them here since I couldn't visit Leonard's main store during my trip! After that, we headed north while enjoying the stunning coastal views. For lunch, we had shrimp from Kahuku. It seemed like he had already taken our orders (he had asked everyone’s preferences on the bus), so we were able to purchase them without much waiting.

I skipped snorkeling at Haleiwa Beach Park and relaxed on the beach instead. To my surprise, a honu (sea turtle) came up to bask nearby, and I felt lucky to encounter it. On the way back, we stopped at the Dole Plantation to buy souvenirs.

Every time we returned to the bus, cold juice and water were provided, and while we were having lunch, he brought us soft serve ice cream, too. I thought we would just be dropped off at the meeting point, but he actually took us back to our hotels. Thanks to this cheerful and attentive driver-guide, I had a wonderful day.

集合場所で待っていると、ドライバーガイドさん到着。バスに乗り込むと日本人は我が家だけ・・・おや？日本人ばかりのツアーだと思っていたのでドキドキ。
時々ドライバーガイドさんがカタコトの日本語で話しかけてくれてるので、ちょっと安心と思っていたら、実は日本語がとってもお上手。

まずは揚げたてのマラサダから。旅行中レナーズ本店に行けなかったので、ここで食べられてうれしい！
その後海沿いの絶景を見ながらノース方面へ。ランチはカフクシュリンプ。
事前に注文を伝えてくれていたのか（バスの中でみんなの希望を聞いていた）、ほとんど待つことなく購入できました。
ハレイワビーチパークでのシュノーケリングはパスしてビーチでのんびり。
するとすぐ近くにホヌが甲羅干しに上がってきてびっくり＆出会えてラッキーでした。帰りはドールプランテーションでお土産購入。

バスに戻る度に冷たいジュースやお水が用意されていて、お昼を食べているときには「ソフトクリームももらえるよ」って持ってきてくれて、集合場所での解散かと思っていたら各ホテルまで送り届けてくれる、そんな陽気で気配り上手なドライバーガイドさんのおかげで楽しい１日でした。

We participated as a family of four. After watching the sunrise at the foot of Diamond Head, we hiked, visited Blowhole, Turtle Beach, Tropical Farm, and North Shore, efficiently and enjoyably sightseeing around Oahu from morning until evening!

Our guide, Jonah, who was born in Hawaii, was very kind and explained the scenery, history, culture, and lifestyle of Hawaii in an easy-to-understand manner, just like a bus guide during our travels, making the travel time enjoyable. My 70-year-old mother and my sister were visiting Hawaii for the first time, but thanks to the careful guidance in Japanese, they felt very safe and enjoyed themselves.

I believe this tour offered an incredibly fulfilling experience for just one day and was worth much more than the price. I can confidently recommend it to those visiting Hawaii for the first time. Thank you so much, Jonah!!

家族4人で参加しました。ダイヤモンドヘッドのふもとで朝日を見てからハイキング、潮吹岩、ウミガメビーチ、トロピカルファーム、ノースショアなどを巡り、朝から夕方までオアフ島を効率よく、楽しく観光することができました！

ハワイ生まれのガイドのジョナさんはとても親切で、移動中もバスガイドさんのように景色やハワイの歴史・文化・暮らしについて分かりやすく説明してくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせました。70歳の母と、妹は今回が初めてのハワイでしたが、日本語で丁寧に案内していただけたおかげで、とても安心して楽しめたと喜んでいました。

1日でこれだけ充実した内容を体験でき、この価格以上の価値があるツアーだったと思います。初めてハワイを訪れる方にも、自信を持っておすすめできます。ジョナさん、本当にありがとうございました！！

This is my fifth time in Honolulu, but since it was my friend's first time in Hawaii, we decided to join a tour. In the past, I had participated in completely Japanese tours, but this time, the bus was full of mostly English-speaking participants from various countries, making it a very international experience. I think young people can easily keep up with the vibe.

Our guide, Dark, was incredibly talented and kept us entertained with stories about the island and explanations of each sightseeing spot, which had everyone laughing. However, I could only understand about half of what he said, and it gradually started to sound like a lullaby, so I ended up dozing off during the transfers. (In a way, that helped me conserve energy, haha.) He mentioned that he had lived in Japan for about 4-5 years, so his Japanese was excellent.

I was thrilled to get the malasada donuts that are available only on certain days. I bought three extra, which became my breakfast the next day! Unfortunately, we only had 40 minutes at the Dole Plantation, so we couldn't ride the train, which I wanted to show my friend. I lost track of time while browsing souvenirs and buying food. I should have rushed to buy tickets for the train as soon as we arrived. (Honestly, 40 minutes might not be enough time.)

I have a shrimp and crab allergy, so I thought I wouldn't be able to eat at the lunch stop. I planned to grab something at the Dole Plantation after 10 AM, but we actually arrived at the garlic shrimp place after 2 PM, which turned out to be a good thing. My friend hadn't eaten breakfast either, so he was hungry. (In the meantime, we had opportunities to visit Haleiwa and stop at fruit stands to buy snacks, although the prices were high.)

I thought there wouldn't be any snorkeling, but there was! However, I chose not to participate and instead enjoyed walking around Haleiwa and bought a beer at a convenience store for a nice afternoon drink.

I was so tired that I really slept during the transfers, so the one-day tour went by in a flash!

At the end of the tour, I checked Google reviews and saw that all participants from around the world had given it a perfect score of 5 stars!!! I believe it's thanks to our guide, Dark.

There were frequent restroom breaks, and he explained the timing very carefully each time, showing great consideration for the participants.

I highly recommend this tour! However, for those who are allergic to English, I think a Japanese tour would be better.

ホノルルは５回目ですが、友達がハワイが初めてだったので周遊ツアーに参加することにしました。
過去に何度が別で完全日本語のツアーに参加したこともありましたが、今回のこのツアーはバスが満席の中ほぼ英語話者の国々のみなさんと混合ツアーでとても国際感豊かな旅でした。
若い人ならノリでついていけると思います。

ガイドのダークさんは才能の塊でずーっと、島のうんちくやそれぞれの観光地の説明でお話ししてくれてみなさん爆笑していましたが、
私は半分くらいしか理解できず、だんだん子守唄のように聞こえてきて、移動のたびに疲れもあって寝ていました。
（それが逆に体力温存できて良かったです笑）
日本に4-5年住んでいたことがあるそうで、日本語が達者です。

曜日限定でもらえるマラサダのドーナツ、最高に嬉しかったです。追加で３つ買って翌日の朝食になりました！
友達に見せてあげたかったドールプランテーションの列車は、40分しか時間がなくて行けませんでした。
お土産見てボーっとしてご飯買ったりしていたので気付いたら時間切れ。
着いたらすぐトレイン乗り場のチケット購入に走るべきでした。
（そもそも４０分の滞在時間では足りないかも。）
わたしはエビカニアレルギーなのでランチ立ち寄りのところでは食べれないと思って１０時過ぎのドールプランテーションで何か食べようと買って食べていましたが
ランチのガーリックシュリンプのお店は実際には２時過ぎ到着だったので、逆に良かったです。
お友達は朝も食べていなかったので空腹でした。
（その間もハレイワに行ったりフルーツスタンドに寄ったり何か買って食べる機会はあります、値段は高いけど）

シュノーケルはないと思っていたらありました。
でも参加せずハレイワの街歩きをしてコンビニでビールを買って昼飲みも楽しかったです。

疲れもあって移動のたびに本当に寝ていたので、１日ツアーがあっという間でした！

Googleのこのツアーの口コミをツアー最後に見ましたが全世界の国籍の参加者全員がオール５！！！
ガイドのダークさんの力だと思います。

トイレ休憩も頻繁にありその度に時間の説明も丁寧で、参加者とても気遣ってくれます。

オススメです！
逆に英語にアレルギーがある方は日本語ツアーの方がいいと思います。

Thank you for allowing us to participate in the one-day tour.

Although we happened to be the only group, it was a very enjoyable tour that started early in the morning at Diamond Head and included classic spots like Leonard's Bakery, Blowhole, and Haleiwa Town. The lively commentary, safe driving, and especially the detailed advice on key points made the experience even better. I was a bit scared about driving myself due to the time difference, but the comfortable coastal drive to the North Shore was truly a fun time.

This was my first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the tour, I have wonderful memories. I especially recommend it for beginners in Hawaii or those with limited time!

１日ツアーに参加させていただきありがとうございました。
たまたま我々一組のなりましたが、早朝のダイヤモンドヘッドからはじまりレイナーズベーカリーや潮吹き岩、ハレイワタウンなど王道コースを軽快なトークと安全運転、なによりポイントを外さない細やかなアドバイスで大変楽しいツアーでした。時差もあり自分の運転は、怖いと思いましたが、ノースショア方面への海沿い快適ドライブもほんと楽しい時間でした。
はじめてのハワイでしたが、ツアーのお陰で良い思い出となりました。ハワイ初心者や日数に限りがある人には特におすすめと思います！

The microbus picks up passengers from various locations and goes together. The driver and guide, Daku, is really attentive and cheerful, making for a fun tour. There’s never a dull moment, and he speaks Japanese fluently. There are plenty of stops, so you won’t get bored at all. However, it’s not overwhelming; it’s just the right amount of activity. You can choose the more expensive custard or chocolate malasadas. The shops we stop at do have tourist prices, but they don’t push you to buy like some Asian tourist spots do. The lunch at Shrimp TANAKA is cash-only, but you can use cards as well. You can get as many drinks as you want on the bus. The snorkeling might be less satisfying for those who frequently swim in the ocean, as the seawater is surprisingly murky. The snorkeling activity is about 50/50, depending on the condition of the seawater. On the way back, they will drop you off at your hotel. The order of the spots and the timing may change depending on the traffic and weather on the day, so if you prefer a tightly scheduled tour (if you’re particular about timing and order), this might not be the best fit for you.

マイクロバスであちこちから乗客がピックアップされて混載で行きます。ドライバー&ガイドのダクさんは本当に細やかで陽気で、楽しいツアーです。笑いが絶えず、バリバリ日本語が上手です。立ち寄りスポットも盛りだくさんで全く飽きません。とはいえ、盛りだくさん過ぎて疲れるということもなく、ちょうど良い充実でした。マラサダはカスタードとかチョコレートの高い方も選べます。途中でいくつか寄るショップも観光地価格ではありますが、アジアの観光地のようにしつこく勧めてきたりもありません。昼食のシュリンプTANAKAはキャッシュオンリーと掲示されていますが、カードも使えます。バスで配られる飲み物は何本でももらえます。シュノーケルは思いのほか海水が濁っているので、海によく入る人には満足度は低いかもしれません。シュノーケルの催行は50/50で、やはり海水の様子で決まるようです。帰りは泊まっているホテルまで送ってくれます。当日の交通状況や天気等によって、スポットの順番や時間は変わるので、ガチガチにスケジューリングされたツアーが好きな方（時間や順番にうるさい方）はちょっと向かないかもしれません。

We loved this tour as it helped us navigate great parts of the island as we were nervous to get lost in all the wonder of Oahu!

Delicious foods and fruits, and wonderful sites seen throughout the Oahu island!

I only had an image of Oahu in Hawaii, but I feel like I learned a lot from this tour. The guide and driver was bright, kind, and fun, and my spouse and I truly felt that participating in this tour was a great decision. Even as I write this experience, I sincerely think so.

The natural scenery was beautiful, and the free donuts we had along the way, the garlic shrimp we had for lunch, the mountain that served as the backdrop for Jurassic World, and above all, snorkeling with sea turtles was the highlight. My spouse and I felt so impressed that we would want to go on the same tour again.

ハワイのオアフ島をイメージでしか把握していなかったのですが、このツア―でだいぶ知れたと思いました。
そして、ガイド兼ドライバーさんが明るく優しく楽しい方で、夫婦でこのツアーに参加して本当に良かったと、この体験談を買いている今も心からそう思っています。
自然の景観はもとより、途中で食べた（無料の）ドーナツ、ランチで食べたガーリックシュリンプ、ジュラシックワールドの舞台となった山、そして何よりウミガメと一緒にシュノーケリングが最高でした。
我々夫婦は次に同じツアーであっても行きたいと思った程です。

We used this service for our honeymoon. We were the only Japanese people there, while everyone else seemed to understand English and were laughing at the tour guide Dark's jokes, which made it clear they were having a great time. We didn't quite understand everything, but Dark communicated with us as well, and when we thought he only spoke English, he surprised us by responding in Japanese with "Is that so?" From there, he gradually spoke to us in Japanese in a way that was easier to understand.

This tour had many highlights, and we were grateful for his guidance, such as warning us about dangerous areas and taking photos for us. Dark's kind personality really shone through, and although we were initially anxious, we ended up having a lot of fun. I hope to see him again when we come back to Hawaii!

新婚旅行で利用しました。日本人は私たちだけで、他の方々は英語が伝わっていてツアーガイドさんのダークさんのジョークに笑っていてとても楽しそうなのが伝わってきました。私たちにはあまりわからずにいましたが、ダークさんが私たちともコミュニケーションをとってくれて、英語しか話せないかと思えば「そうですか〜」と日本語で返事をしてきたことで「えっ？」となり、隠していたようですがそこから日本語で少しずつでもわかりやすく話してくれました。今回のツアーではたくさん見所があって、ここは危険だから気をつけてねと教えてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたりしてくれてとてもありがたかったです。
親切なダークさんの人柄の良さがとても伝わってきて不安だったけど最後には楽しかったと思えました。またハワイに来た時はお会いしたいなと思いました！

We efficiently visited the spots without wasting time. After climbing Diamond Head, I was able to use the restroom break to buy malasadas from Leonard's. I also had enough time to enjoy the garlic shrimp that I had been looking forward to.

I often find myself falling asleep on tour buses, but Jonah's stories were interesting and packed with information, so I was able to enjoy the ride without getting bored.

There was also plenty of time to explore the shops in Haleiwa. I think this course is highly recommended for those who want to see a variety of things without feeling rushed.

時間の無駄なく、テキパキとスポットを回ってくれました。ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂の後は、トイレタイムの時間をつかってレナーズのマラサダを買うことができました。楽しみにしていたガーリックシュリンプも時間に余裕をもって食べることができました。
いつもツアーバス内では寝てしまうことが多い私ですが、ジョナさんのお話は面白く、情報盛りだくさんなので、飽きることなく楽しめました。
ハレイワのショップを巡る時間も十分あり、こちらのコースは無理なく、しかし色々見て回りたい人にとてもおすすめだと思います。

I received detailed information about various characteristics of different places! Even during the travel, I was provided with trivia and guidance, which made the travel time enjoyable and not boring!

各地様々な特徴など細かく教えて頂きました！
移動中も豆知識など案内頂き移動時間も飽きずに過ごせました！

Unfortunately, we had a few rain interruptions. Still, most of the tour seemed to drag. We couldn't see the plantation due to rain so we had a shopping tour. Driving along the coast there wasn't much to see. It was difficult to see beyond the trees along the road. The lunch stop venues were not very inviting. It seems this food truck area wasn't the best. I gathered that most of the people were disappointed.
I was able to take some photos at the blowhole stop. At Kualoa Park it was overcast and we only had about 10 minutes there. We had just enough time at the Macadamia stop to go into the store for a tasting and to buy things. It took 1-1/2 hours to get back to Waikiki. One couple brought their 3 year old child. He was screaming and crying for a good part of the tour. It might be an idea to limit long van/bus tours to children over 5 or so.

The bus tour was reassuring because the guide spoke Japanese. In fact, the day before this bus tour, I participated in a tour with another company, but the driver couldn't speak Japanese and provided the guidance in English, which made it difficult for me to understand, so I was a bit disappointed (even though it was a tour aimed at Japanese people).

For this tour with VeLTRA, since there were no other customers, they asked if there were any places I wanted to visit and adjusted the itinerary flexibly.

バスツアーは、日本語が話せるガイドさんだったので安心でした。
実は今回のバスツアーの前日にも他の会社のツアーに参加したのですが、運転手さんが日本語が話せず英語でのガイドだったため理解できなかったため、少し残念でした(日本人向けのツアーでしたが)

VeLTRAさんの今回のツアーは、他にお客さんがいなかったのもあり、行きたいところはないか聞いてくれたり、臨機応変にまわってくださいました。

First of all, despite my mistake in the meeting location, they worked hard to help me find it. I ended up arriving 20 minutes late after they came back to the original pickup spot.

The first restroom stop was closed, but they helped me find an alternative restroom and took me there. For lunch, they asked each group what they wanted, and when I said I wanted garlic shrimp, they informed me about the features of two restaurants and suggested sharing one.

I was very satisfied with the additional places they guided us to beyond the planned itinerary, and the guidance inside the vehicle was also excellent. I definitely want to participate in a tour with this company again. Thank you very much.

まず最初に僕が集合場所を間違えていたにもかかわらず一生懸命探してくれました。本来のピックアップ場所まで再度来てもらって20分遅れで参加しました。
最初のトイレ休憩のところが締まっていて、代わりのトイレを探してくれて連れて行ってくれました。
昼食もグループごとに聞いてくれて、ガーリックシュリンプがいいと言うと、2店舗の特徴と1つをシェアしたほうが良いと教えてくれました。
予定の場所プラスアルファで案内してくれてとても満足しました、車内での左右ガイド案内もとても良かったです。
このツアー会社のツアーに是非また参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

We started by climbing Diamond Head and had breakfast at a local Starbucks. We drove along the West Coast, taking photos of the emerald green and cobalt blue seas, and were guided by a Japanese guide to beaches where we could see sea turtles and explore areas that are not accessible on our own. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂からスタートし、地元のスタバで朝食
西海岸を車で移動、エメラルドグリーンの海とコバルトブルーの海で写真撮影、海亀の見える海岸と個人では行動出来ない広範囲を日本語ガイドさんに案内してもらえたました。またとない体験が出来ました。

It was a long journey of about 11 hours with some traffic, but it was enjoyable.

The guide and driver provided detailed and fun explanations of the scenery visible from the car windows, making for a day that was never boring.

Places like Croatia Crunch and the Polynesian Center, along with the landmarks seen from the car, have given me ideas for where to explore more leisurely next time.

Personally, I had the most fun cracking macadamia nuts and feeding them to the chickens.

By the way, I struggled to understand English quite a bit, but I think it would be even more enjoyable if I could understand more.

渋滞もあり、約11時間の長旅でしたが楽しかったです。

ガイド兼ドライバーさんが、車窓から見える景色も丁寧に楽しく説明をしてくれて飽きることのない一日でした。

クロアチアクランチやポリネシアンセンター、車窓からの名所も次はここをゆっくりまわろうかな？という参考にもなります。

個人的にはマカダミアナッツを自分で割って鶏にあげたのが一番楽しかったです。

ちなみに、私は英語がなかなか聞き取れずでしたが、もっと聞き取りができれば何倍も楽しそうです。

First of all, the guide was wonderful. They provided a wealth of information and taught us a lot. The performance was also great; as we approached Kualoa Ranch, they played the Jurassic Park theme, which brought back the emotions from the movie! The guide had also lived in Japan, so they used a bit of Japanese to assist us.

Although the course was in reverse order, it wasn't a problem at all. We stopped at various farms and souvenir shops, and it was completely fine not to buy anything. We enjoyed walking around the farms and sampling food. We had plenty of time to spare until the meeting time, which made it that much more enjoyable.

As shown in the photos, the tour included many beautiful scenic spots. The view from the bus was stunning, and I stayed awake the entire time to take it all in. The shrimp lunch and malasadas were incredibly delicious, and I was very satisfied.

On the second day in Oahu, I was able to fully enjoy a tour that took us around the island! Thank you so much, guide!

まずガイドさんが素晴らしかったです。
情報が盛り沢山で色々教えて貰えてました。
また演出も上手で、クアロアランチが近づくとジュラシックパークの曲を流してくれ、映画の感動が蘇りました！
日本で生活していた事もある方で、日本語も少し使って案内してくれました。
コースが逆周りでしたが別に問題は無かったです。
色々な農園やお土産屋さんに寄りますが、何も買わなくても全く問題無く、農園を見て周ったり、試食を楽しくさせて貰いました。なので集合時間迄、時間をたっぷり使いました。それ位楽しかったです。
写真に載せましたが、景色の良い所も沢山寄ってくれるツアーでした。
バスからの車窓も美しく、全く寝ないで見ていました。
シュリンプランチもマラサダもすごく美味しくて大満足でした。
オアフ2日目、１周楽しめるツアーでオアフを満喫出来ました！
ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました！

I was picked up at a point near the hotel at 6:40 AM and we set off in a nearly full bus. First, we went to the Diamond Head lookout, where the weather and the view were fantastic. From there, we visited several places, enjoying malasadas and garlic shrimp. Our guide, Dirk, was very cheerful and took great care of us. He pretended to be a complete native but spoke Japanese fluently. We also got to see sea turtles and go snorkeling; it was a wonderful tour!

朝6時40分にホテル付近のポイントでピックアップしてもらい、ほぼ満席のバスで出発しました。最初はダイヤモンドヘッドの展望台へ天気も景色も最高でした。そこから数カ所周りマラサダを食べたりガーリックシュリンプを食べたりしました。案内してくれたDirkはとても陽気で良くしてくれました。彼は完全なネイティブのフリをしますが、バキバキに日本語話せます。ウミガメも見れて、シュノーケルも出来とてもいいツアーでした！

Diamond Head had great weather and the views were fantastic. Our guide, Jonathan, explained everything in detail and made it enjoyable. After Diamond Head, since it was just our group, we were able to stop by the shops we wanted to visit, take photos, and he was flexible with the timing. It was a fulfilling day.

ダイアモンドヘッドはお天気も良く、景色がとても良かったです、ガイドのジョナサンが、詳しく、ポイントを丁寧に説明してくれて、楽しかったです。ダイアモンドヘッドの後は、私達のグループだけだったので、行きたかったお店に、寄っていただいたり、
写真を撮ってくださり、時間も柔軟に対応していただき、充実した1日でした。

We visited the North Shore with its beautiful beaches and surf spots, drove along the east side with coastal views, and stopped at the Dole Plantation for delicious pineapple treats and souvenirs.

The day was well organized with plenty of photo opportunities and comfortable transportation

We gathered at 5:30 and started with a hike up Diamond Head, followed by visits to the Halona Blowhole, a macadamia nut farm, and Chinese Hat Island. We enjoyed a lunch of garlic shrimp at North Shore (Sunset Beach), observed sea turtles, and explored High Town and Green Coffee. It was a packed and fun day. Thank you, Jonah!

The Oahu Island tour allowed us to fully experience the charm of Hawaii in just one day. The first thing we tried was Leonard's malasadas, which were fluffy on the outside and chewy on the inside, making them incredibly delicious and giving us a true sense of being in Hawaii. The garlic shrimp had an authentic taste, with the savory garlic flavor and the texture of the shrimp being absolutely perfect. At the macadamia nut shop we stopped at, we enjoyed tastings and shopping, and were able to buy some typical Hawaiian souvenirs.

In Haleiwa, we also experienced snorkeling and soaked up the atmosphere of the North Shore. The last stop at the Dole Plantation was perfect for wrapping up the tour, as we enjoyed shopping while exploring the spacious facility.

What stood out the most was our driver, Dirk. He was very cheerful and kind, creating a fun atmosphere during our travels. He had experience living in Japan, and his consideration for Japanese guests was wonderful, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. It was a fantastic day where we not only enjoyed the scenery and food but also felt the warmth of the people.

オアフ島一周ツアーでは、ハワイの魅力を1日でたっぷり味わうことができました。最初に食べたレナーズのマラサダは、外はふわっと、中はもちっとしていてとても美味しく、ハワイに来た実感がわきました。ガーリックシュリンプも本場ならではの味で、香ばしいガーリックの風味とエビの食感が最高でした。途中で立ち寄ったマカダミアナッツのお店では試食や買い物を楽しみ、ハワイらしいお土産も購入できました。
ハレイワではシュノーケリングも体験し、ノースショアの雰囲気を満喫しました。最後に立ち寄ったドールプランテーションでは、広い施設を見て回りながら買い物を楽しめて、ツアーの締めくくりにぴったりでした。
そして何より印象的だったのが、ドライバーのDirkさんです。とても陽気で親切な方で、移動中も楽しい雰囲気を作ってくれました。日本に住んでいた経験があるそうで、日本人への気配りも素晴らしく、安心してツアーを楽しむことができました。景色や食べ物だけでなく、人の温かさも感じられる最高の1日でした。

Tour guide was very fun & knowledgeable.
Saw lots of the island.
Nice that there was only 3 others besides myself & my husband.

Diamond Head, which I had always wanted to climb at least once! The ascent was gentle, but it was quite hard. Still, when I saw the view from the top, I thought it was worth coming here!

After that, I got to meet some turtles at a beautiful beach, and I was able to visit Kualoa and Haleiwa, which was a great experience. Our guide, Jonathan, was very kind, thank you!

一度は登ってみたいと思っていたダイヤモンドヘッド！登りはゆるやかでしたが、なかなかハード。それでも頂上からの景色を見たら、来てよかった〜と思いました。
その後の綺麗なビーチで亀に出会ったり、クアロアやハレイワにも行くことができて満喫できました。ガイドのジョナサンとっても親切で、ありがとうございました。

During the hike up Diamond Head, I was with two Indian people, but for the subsequent tours, I was alone. I was able to receive proper explanations at each location, and I had a very meaningful time with plenty of time to spare. It was great to have enjoyable conversations while traveling as well.

ダイヤモンドヘッド登山の時はインド人2人も一緒でしたが、それ以降のツァーは私1人でした。各地でキチンと説明してもらえて時間も取ってもらえてとても有意義な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。移動中も楽しく話しが出来て良かったです。

We enjoyed the all day view of many areas of the island.

I was able to take a lot of beautiful photos. This is my third time in Hawaii, but I had some experiences that I couldn't have before. The bright driver was very kind.

たくさん綺麗な写真とれました。
ハワイ３回目だけど、なかなかできない体験できました。明るいドライバーさん親切でした。

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to get an overall understanding and decided to participate. It was a great decision. In particular, Jonah's guidance was wonderful. He was friendly, kind, and his stories were interesting. I realized that the biggest benefit of joining the tour was being able to hear various stories from the guide. It was a fulfilling day.

初めてのハワイだったので、全体を知りたいと思い、参加。大正解でした。特に、ジョナさんの案内が素晴らしかったです。フレンドリーで、親切で、ガイドも面白かったです。ツアーに入るのは、ガイドさんの色々な話が聞けるのが最も大きいと実感しました。充実した1日でした。

Our tour guide Jonah was really nice and super flexible with the schedule so you don’t feel rushed at all. The route is ideal and recommended by locals I talked to. It was a great tour and we really appreciated the tour guide answering all our curious questions happily!
