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。
個人的にはハレイワが一番つまんなかったです。人が多すぎて大行列で散策時間内ではお店に入れなかったです。
海の景色はとてもきれいでした。
ご参考になれば幸いです!

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.

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。

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!)
Hello Cassandra,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a great time with John. He really knows the Island well. He also knows his food as well. We are glad you were able to see the turtles as well. Thank you so much for your recommendation and we hope you enjoy your whole time in Hawaii.

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。

A fabulous way to travel the whole island and learn about the history and culture. Our guide was local and so knowledgeable and friendly! The views were spectacular!! Communication from the company was easy to follow and navigate. I would highly recommend this company and tour :-)

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!

We booked this tour for the day before we left for home .
The trip and the wealth of knowledge Brandon imparted was so good we really did wish we had booked it at the very start of our trip so we could take advantage of all the tips and suggestions he made to maximise our experience whilst visiting the island .
Every stop we made added to our fabulous experience of the island . My only wish having now taken the tour was to have the bus stop on the north shore for 15 mins maybe to fully experience the fabulous waves we only saw from the bus window ..
Brandon was a wealth of knowledge and kept the bus engaged at all times .
Aloha Deborah, Thank you so very much for taking your valuable time to rate us and for your kind words. We are truly grateful to all guests and visitors who express their appreciation of our services. We look forward to seeing you again one day! :) /Cecilia - owner/

This was the best circle island tour I could’ve had. Our bus driver, Lola, was fabulous. There were six of us on this tour, grandparents, adult children and grandchildren. We all very much enjoyed the tour and all of the Hawaiian history that Lola presented. We saw the best of the island (Oahu), and she got us in and out of places before they were overcrowded. We had plenty of time at all stops and never felt rushed. I could not have asked for a better experience for my family on their first trip to Oahu. I’m highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a full day’s tour. Sure, you can drive it yourself, but you’ll never get the full experience of hearing the history and stories from someone who actually lives on the island. Do yourself a favor and take this tour.

We were picked up by Dan. He is a very informative guide. After picking up everyone we preceeded to do our tour. At our first stop he served us a purple dount and water. We visited 12 places and stopped at 6 places. Just before we hit each place he gave us a lot of information plus we got to watch a video. The bus was air conditioned and had a bathroom on board. It was worth the 9 hours. We got to see some amazing sites and got to see most of Oahu.

We had a great time with John!!! He knew so much about the island! we even got to see Jackie Chans, President Obamas and Bill Gates homes! It was so obvious that he is so passionate about the history of the island. He was so eager to teach us everything!
The food was spectacular, and the sites were breathtaking, but having a tour guide as passionate as John was the icing in the cake!
Guests- please be respectful when the guide is talking and keep your chatter at a minimum.

I had the best time on this tour. Our tour guide was amazing he was the best. The waterfall was awesome to swim in but you had to walk at least 30 min to get there which was not a bad hike at all. The scenery was beautiful and I even got a glimpse of a peacoke. The tour paid for coffee breakfast and lunch which was delicious. After the hike we went to Dole Plantation for dole whip which is pineapple ice cream.

My first time going to Hawaii, They really tell you the history of Hawaii and show you all the cool farms and the BEST views of the ocean from different shores of the island. I have no regrets. Thank you so much

今回は、家族でのハワイ旅行。家族のほとんどが初めてのハワイでしたので、島内を廻るツアーを探していました!東海岸も行きたいしノースショアも行きたい。ハワイの絶景スポット巡りをしたかった私にはぴったりでした。終日で時間が長いかな、と心配していましたが、参加してみると、次々と絶景スポットやグルメスポットが訪れて、あっという間の一日でした!ガイドのDさん!英語と日本語で大変分かりやすく面白く、そしてフレンドリーに接して下さって、本当に楽しいツアーとなりました!マラサダもガーリックシュリンプも大変美味しく、ナッツもコーヒーもお土産に最適でした!ノースショアでのアサイーボールも美味しかった!本当に充実したツアーで、娘も主人も大満足していました!ありがとうございました♪

初めてのハワイ。自転車やバスで行き辛い観光地を効率よく回れて、充実した1日になりました♪
移動中のスタッフのお話も、ハワイの裏話が聞けてとっても興味深かったです!
お昼のガーリックシュリンプは、滞在中に食べた物の中で1番美味しかったです。

We loved this tour! We saw SO MUCH all in one day! The morning view at the Blowhole is worth getting up early! We were treated to an extra exciting Honu (turtle) sighting! The North Shore area is still a beautiful gem on the island, quintessential Hawaii. The Temple and Waimea Falls were welcome peaceful hideaways, away from the Honolulu city vibe. The surrounding mountains are majestic! We learned quite a lot about Hawaiian history and culture. We tasted SO MANY Hawaiian delicious delights- Leonard’s masadas, North Shore shrimp, macadamia nuts, fresh farm fruits, Matsuto’s shave ice, Dole Whip! My mouth is watering,
Hawaii weather is perfect! Sure there is a little rain, but the rainbows afterwards are so beautiful!
The bus is comfortable. We didn’t have to deal with driving or finding parking. Our tour guide was an excellent driver!
Our tour guide also shared some beautiful personal stories of his life and family in Hawaii. My girls were especially touched by his pineapple farming memories.

何十回もハワイにきていますが、こんなに充実したツアーは初めてでした。
ガイドのDさんも英語と日本語でガイドして下さり、完璧なガイドでした。
帰りに渋滞にはまりましたが、それも含めていい思い出になりました。
景色も最高でした!
次回のハワイもツアーをお願いしたいです。
ありがとうございました。

初めてのハワイで効率良くポイントを回れて良かった。食事やおやつ込みでコスパ良し。個人ではなかなか回れない所に寄るので有り難かった。ガイドさんも説明が良くて、とても楽しめました。ツアー自体はとても最高だったと思う。
ただ、スピリチュアル感はゼロ。スピリチュアルに関する説明は無しで、「今日はグルメツアーよ!」とドライバーさんも冒頭から宣言してた。
正直スピリチュアルスポットに行けるのを期待していたが、完全にグルメツアーだった。楽しかったから良いけど。
無理にスピリチュアルを盛り込まず、初めから「グルメツアー」と書いてはどうか??

盛りだくさんで楽しいツアーでした。
ガイドのダイスケくん、ハワイ生まれのドライバーのマへア2人とも一生懸命に案内してくれました。感謝祭で、ハレイワの街はお休みの店舗ばかりで、散策できず残念でしたが、代わりにドールと、カメハメハ大王像に連れて行ってくれました。マラサダに始まり、食も満足なツアーでした。
1番早いピックアップだったのに、運転席の後ろ側の席に座ってしまったのが、痛恨のミスでした。海沿いのドライブなので、右側に座ったほうが、景色を楽しめます。
感謝祭でハレイワの街の散策が出来なかったけど、看板の写真だけでも撮りたかったです。
私がウミガメに出会えるのを楽しみにしてると話したので、ガイドのダイスケくん一生懸命探してくれました。残念ながら海岸にはいませんでしたが、肉眼でウミガメの頭が海面から出る姿は確認できました。代わりにアザラシの日向ぼっこに遭遇できたのは、ラッキーでした。
ハレイワ観光はリベンジしたいですが、一日満足でした。

案内してくれた人が不親切でした、写真の送信に不慣れでモタモタしていて、再度送信を依頼しても、断られた。とても不親切な言い方で、楽しい雰囲気が一気に壊された。自分でツアーを企画しているらしく、その宣伝ばかりの話で、自分本位な会話と案内だと感じてしまった。
全体的には、道の渋滞があり、各ポイントで時間に押されてゆっくり楽しむ時間がなかった。
盛りだくさんな企画なので、道の渋滞が重なればかなりタイトなスケジュールになってしまう。
