10年以上ぶりのハワイでしたが、いくつか思うところありましたのでこれから行く方に共有します。
・その日のガイドさんによりツアーの満足度は大きく変わる。
こればかりは運ですが、
私のところはバス2台で、片方はガイドさん運転手さんの二人体制、こちらは運転手さんがガイドを兼用してました。
スピーカー?が前方席のところにあり、後方に座ってると何を言ってるのか聞こえません。
運転手の方は生粋の日本人でしたが早口で滑舌もそこまでよくないので、聞こえにくいと他の方も言ってましたが「これくらいのスピードでしゃべらないと話すことが沢山あるので。私の出身地ではこれくらいが普通です。どこ出身ですか?‥あぁ、○○地方はゆっくりですからね」と悪びれる様子も改善もなく逆にお客さんをバカにするような発言。最後まで聞きづらかったです。
しかも、最後にチップは○%くらいですね、まぁそれ以下でも構いませんが、とチップ額を強制してくる始末。
聞こえないのはストレスになるので、もしこのガイドさんに当たったときに備えて前方席を狙ってください。
・海側は進行方向右の席
海沿いのドライブが多く、左側は山ばかりで全然楽しくない。
参加される方は何としても右側を死守してください。
他の行程や景色などは大方皆さんと同じです。
ご参考になれば幸いです!

There was so much to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstrations and musical presentations. We learned how to make poi, husk coconuts, and weave palm fronds, among other things. The dinner buffet was the best ever, with so much variety in the wide range of menu items. The theater presentation “The Breath of Life” was outstanding! Kudos to all the young university students who work so hard to provide such a unique cultural experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming. This was our second visit (previous one was in 1986) and we were not disappointed. We would return again in a heartbeat!

This is the second time that we Visit the range every time we do a different tour and they always exceeded our expectation. Our tour guy was awesome and every time we learn more history about the island. I definitely recommend

オーシャンで船の先に捕まり波を受けてずぶ濡れになって楽しみました。最高に楽しかったです。あと映画ロケ地巡りツアーはいろいろ見れてよかったです。

My son and I had a great time. Stephanie did very well! My son (12 yo) asked me how she could remember so much stuff. Really enjoyed the mix of activities as someone who doesn't like driving while traveling and very little of the island is accessible via public transportation.

This was an amazing place with very informative information about Fiji, Tonga, Tahiti, Somoa, Hawaii, and other Polynesian islands. The Gateway Buffet was good with good variety and the Ha Life of Breath show was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend visiting!

ハワイのツアーは、フリープランが主流です。釣りや素潜り、ゴルフや乗馬をしない方は、3日もあればワイキキ周辺の観光が終わってしまいます。フリープラン4日あれば、1日はやることがない日ができてしまいます。そんな方にぴったりなのが、このオアフ島1日観光プランです。マイクロバスでガイド兼ドライバーさんがいろいろなところに連れて行ってくれます。また、このプランは少人数なので、あまり他に気兼ねすることがありません。トロリーはオープンなので雨や寒い日は避けたいところ。タクシーで観光できるお金に余裕のある方は別として、とてもお勧めします。

We had the most incredible time touring the Mighty Mo!! Really incredible to stand on a battleship where WWII came to an end. Saffron, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was so informative, interesting and kind. Could listen to her all day! We also met Alvin in the Aviation Museum and really enjoyed listening to him! We had toured the Arizona on our last visit to Hawaii and very much enjoyed that tour. Pearl Harbor is well organized and well worth the visit.

This is a must do excursion with family when visiting Oahu. A full day of cultural background, canoe rides to island, interactive activities for everyone. Friendly staff. It's not enough time for us to see all the areas, so definitely will come back again next time. Highly recommend!

The Oahu Island tour was perfect for seeing a lot of the island. I appreciated that the group was smaller than some of the other tour companies we saw riding around- it allowed us to have a more personal experience. Our tour guide, John, was a wealth of knowledge about the island, its history, and its residents, and I enjoyed spending the day with him! John’s trained eye also helped us find turtles during our stop, which was a huge help! This tour was a good mix of everything - from local food to breathtaking views. I would recommend this tour be one of your first stops on your visit to Oahu, as there are many things you see along your drive that you may want to revisit during your trip (and your guide can help you determine which ones are worth your money!)

バギー体験自体は最高!ただ、突然のスコールにみまわれたため、びしょ濡れ(笑)ポンチョが売店に売ってるけど、本当に簡易的なので、参加予定の人は日本のポンチョの持参を強くおすすめします。スコールはいつどこで起こるか本当に解らないので。また、めちゃめちゃ汚れます。そのため、黒ベースの服を着ていくことを強くお勧めします。

バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。
今回のご来館、ありがとうございました!ミュージアムをお楽しみ頂けたようでしたらこちらも嬉しい限りです。こちらへのコメントもありがとうございました!また機会がありましたらお立ち寄りください。Aloha!

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

ちょっとツアー会社さんの内部のミスで、ガイドさんが大変そうでしたが、参加者は楽しむことができました。
ひとり参加でしたが、The Bus で回るより効率よく色々回れるし、途中の食事もワイワイできて、ひとりハワイの合間の団体行動は楽しかったです。
ドライバーの女性のサービス精神にも感謝です。

The reservations are easy - and complete. I was still recuperating from a surgery, so we secured a mobility cart, which is right at the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The bus picks up from several points in Waikiki; it is comfortable and also waiting right at the entrance-exit after the show is over. The day is extraordinary - the staff is so friendly and helpful, as we asked questions at the various Islands. There is a river cruise you can take - the Center is 40 square miles (think Disneyland) so prepare your walking shoes and attire accordingly. Terrific shopping before the Center actually opens. Take a poncho, because there is a lot of rain on that side of the island - rains quickly, dries quickly.
The buffet is amazing and delicious, and a real bargain if you're feeding starving teens! The show is exquisite. They help park the mobility cart everywhere, so if you have mobility issues - worry not!
Enjoy as much as we did!

I booked this activity for my 8-year-old and myself. The tour took place both in the jeep and we got to get out and explore some areas as well. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and really made the tour more exciting. It was fun to see where certain movies were made in the area and the ranch is very beautiful.

Our tour guide “D” was so friendly, kind, informative, and very considerate. We had many stops for different tastes of Hawaii. The tasting started with Malasadas from the Leonard’s food truck. We also stopped at a macadamia nut farm that also had this sweet little pearl shop where I bought gifts for my daughters and myself. The best part for me was when we stopped at a beach to try and see turtles and my family did spot some playful ones! We stopped and had garlic shrimp for lunch which was delicious and filling and we ended the day shopping in Haleiwa Town. I think we stopped at like 3 beaches and the Blowhole. It was a whirlwind and a little taste of everything!

On March 15th, 2024, I went to PCC and participated in the Gateway Buffet package. This experience included admission to the park, buffet, and show. Each village was unique, and educational. The canoe ride was my favorite part of the park, a must do!
The buffet dinner was INCREDIBLE, they had everything you could imagine. From salad, sides, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and dessert. The presentation of the food, and dinning hall felt like something out of a movie! They really set the scene for local cuisine.
'HA: Breath of Life,' show was spectacular a must see! The dancers were truly amazing! I would definitely go see it again and again. Everything about PCC was so professional, engaging, fun, and educational. There is something for the whole family.
I would recommend PCC to anyone who enjoys learning about different cultures, and has a full day to spend away from Waikiki.
