Started out from our hotel with a great driver who was very knowledgable and entertaining. We stopped to see Hanauma Bay which was beautiful then moved on to see some very beautiful scenery areas and a stop for ice cream. We hadn't seen this part of the island before especially the beautiful homes with ocean scenery. We ended up at Kuala Ranch that had a tram tour that was somewhat of a disappointment because we saw scenery from the ranch that we could see from the road but now much of the ranch or ranching activities. The gold buffet lunch was okay but only came with complimentary water with tiny plastic glasses. If we wanted any other drinks we had to stand in line while our food got cold. We headed to Dole thinking we would get a tour but again only stopped at the gift shop for shopping. Best part of that was we had another pineapple whip which was great. We saw many of the same things on this tour that we saw the day before on our Pearl Harbor / Polynesian tour. The driver was great and very informative but the tour was just so-so and wouldn't recommend it to others who do the Pearl Harbor / Polynesian Cultural Center.

My friend and I had a great time. Having a personal tour guide just made it that much more special. King, our personal guide, was a wonderful addition to a fantastic day. Getting reserved seating at all the shows was excellent. There was so much to see and do and you can learn so much about the different people that make up the Polynesian Islands. I can't say enough good things about King, he was so helpful and nice. The luau wasn't what I expected. But the food was good and the show was great. It made for a long day, but there was never a dull moment. I was hoping to get a shot glass as a souvenir for my brother-in-law, he collects and displays them, so was disappointed when I found out they don't sell them there. So it was very hard to find him a gift.
I definitely recommend anyone going to visit Hawaii have to spend a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. And the Ambassador Package only makes the day that much more special.

ガイドはリックさんという、一年前までは結婚式のプランナーをされていたという、日本語ペラペラの方。たまにオヤジギャグも炸裂します(笑)
途中のクリスピークリームでは日本にないフレーバーのものをいただき、とても美味しかったです。こちらで販売している中では甘さ控え目とのことでしたが、充分甘かったです。
夕飯を購入しにスーパーへ立ち寄ったのですが、珍しいお寿司にテンションが上がりました(笑)こちらもすごく美味しかったです。
もちろん夕日も星空も素晴らしかったです!
夕日が沈むときにはグリーンフラッシュが見れ、満月だったので星空は期待していなかったのですが、天の川も見れ、とても感動しました!
私はヒートテックやTシャツ、トレーナー、インナーダウンなど、計6枚着て、その上にレンタルのダウンを着たのですが、それでも全然寒かったです。
でも寒くても参加する価値はあると思います!

The Movie Tour with Johna, our Tour Guide was very informative and enjoyable because she was actually a native from Kauai. She brought in alot of details concerning the movie areas that we saw. I have been a movie buff for over 60 years and to see and hear about how the movie director used these areas was very exciting. The movie DVDs were very important for the touring people to identify the movies and with Johna explaining the how and wheres of each movie site , it made everything fit so perfectly. Each of the movies I have seen at least twice, even Lilo and Stitch and seeing the filming sites of "Jurassic Park", "Raiders of the Lost Arc" and "Dragonfly "were my favorites. Of course, "Elvis Presly", in my day, was the King and to see some of the filming sites of his movies and where he stayed was exciting. The Movie "Descendents" really showed the beauty and vastness of Kauai and the were got to eat at the same place the actors in the movie ate, Tahiti Nui. How fun was that!!!!!! The Hanalei Peir was very unique and I remember seeing it in several movies. The bridge that was in "Soul Surfer" was amazing and I really never thoght about it being only a one car at a time bridge. I hadn't seen one of those in forever.
The weather was awesome, at times it was sunny and then in the after noon we got some afternoon showers which made it even more fun and interesting.
This was the best tour ever. I could go on for days, but I won't. I have and will recommend this to to any and everyone I meet. Thank You for Your Tour Service and for our wonderful Tour Guide, "Johna".

I had such a wonderful time!
This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!
Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.
My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.
I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!

Tony our bus driver was exceptional. He was informative of the Island. We were picked up at the Hiton Hawaiian and proceeded to Punch Bowl Cemetery. That was a beautiful resting place for the fallen. We then drove to Pearl Harbor and Tony walked in the Park with us, gave us are tickets and pointed out where we were to go and what time. Tony was very hands on with our group and very caring of our journey into Pearl Harbor.
After our visit to the Memorial of which I cried, actually it was very overwhelming to be there and fully felt a piece of history unfolding. Quite an experience, a must see if you go to Honolulu. We then had time to explore the gift shops and proceeded back to the bus, which Tony was waiting on us with mints and a hand towel to wash our hands. Tony is something else. We then started to our way back to the hotel drop off location.
Please don't use anyone but this group, the whole experience was OUTSTANDING.

There are so many attractions at Pearl Harbor from the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin, USS Missouri, Pacific Aviation Museum and USS Oklahoma Memorials. We recommend spending 6-8 hours to do the entire passport. We also recommend purchasing the docent tour led by volunteers at the Pacific Aviation Museum. Everyone respected all of the memorials and it was a great place to pay respects to those lost in a Pacific tragedy.

I wished we had a more outgoing/energetic group of passengers along with us, but our driver, Sam made up for it, amazing me with his non-stop humor and entertainment. As others said, I am very glad I did not have to drive that one-lane two-way road with rusty railings and precarious turns myself for hours and hours of driving (see the one photo attached where looking out my window you could see an inch of pavement and then the drop). The tour buses being higher than car height and having large windows provided a wide-open view i would not have see from my rental car. Sam educated us on Hawaiian history, and pointed out dining spots, fauna, flora, and talked of herbal uses of the plants. He talked about his family and their land, and told stories of growing up in Hawaii. He made certain to stop and let us take photos from the tour bus, at perfect photo spots along the road often near its many bridges, rivers, falls. We were handed a map at the beginning with spots high-lighted in yellow where we would get out and walk around, so we could gauge how long we had to go. The places we stopped were gorgeous. Some had very short paths to explore. The banana bread stop nice. At one popular waterfall stop, the road jammed up and Sam was out there, cooling tempers with his humor, making friends, and directing traffic to clear the gridlock. The open air restaurant in Hana was good, beautiful artwork, nice lunch. Sam brought us tastes of a local dish, Poke, the restaurant made. Unfortunately at the one stop for swimming at the 7 Sacred Pools of 'Ohe'o, the park has certain conditions the surf must meet to let you down there to swim: it was closed that day, and I was terribly disappointed after seeing so many beautiful pictures on the internet and hoping it to be the big finish, but Sam still gave us time enough time to do the circular hike out to the point above there, as consolation. I am very glad I signed up for this tour. Was sad when the day was over.

ビショップミュージアムのガーデンツアーに参加してきました。
市バスに乗り、約45分。開園前に到着。ゲートは開いていたので、お庭でまったりして、写真を撮って。9時15分から日本語ガイドさんにて園内のガーデンツアー開始。
植物の名前や由来を聞いてハワイ昔話を聞いて、ククイナッツを割って実際に触るなど、ガイドさん無しでは出来ない体験をすることができました。作ったブレスレットは自分のお土産に。
ぜひ、オススメしたいのは、ガーデンツアーの後、すぐに帰らずに引き続き、ビショップミュージアムで過ごすこと。ハワイの伝統楽器の音を出したり、触ったり、体験型の展示が多いので、すごく楽しめます。子供も大人も。プラネタリウムも良かったです。

The centre is full of vibrant colours and rich history and watching all the island dances during the boat pagent was amazing.

下界は晴れ時々曇り。夕方、頂上へ近ずくと天候は良好。
山頂は、夕日が綺麗に見えて最高でした。
日が落ちてくると空が暗くなり目を閉じてしばらくしてから目を開けた時、空に天の川が綺麗に見えました。下界ではこんなに綺麗には見えませんよ。
この後、天気が急変し雨が降り出し、星を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし、このツアーは綺麗な星が見えるまで一部負担でリベンジできるとのことなので、次回のツアー参加に期待して下山しました。
山の天気は予想がつかないことが起こります。基本的には雲の上に行くので天気は晴れることが多いのですが、年間20%は見れない日もでてきます。自社ではリベンジ制度を導入しているので、入園費とお弁当代は別途になりますが、見れるまでご参加できます。是非また満天の星空を見に来てくださいね!

Amanda was our tour guide and she was full of information about the island. She told us stories such as, Captain Cook's story and many facts about the land that we would have never learned on our own. Before we entered the park, we had lunch at the Punalu'u bakery. They have the BEST bread we have ever had!! My husband exclaimed that it was the best tuna sandwich he's ever had and it takes a lot for him to say something like that. We also tried the malasadas (we purchased..fairly cheap around ~3 for 2) and they were very good. When we entered the park, Amanda talked about the different kinds of lava flow and gave us many other facts. She was extremely knowledgeable which is what makes it worth booking this trip. Yes, we could have driven to the park on our own. But, I am thankful we had a guide that was so knowledgeable in such a small group (group of 8 total). She also talked about different trees and plants that we may have never even noticed! The only thing that was a pain was everyone in our group got picked up and dropped off individually, which made for a late night especially when the different driver taking us back did not seem to know the area at all. Our dinner was a buffet but there were not a lot of choices. However, they did have ice cream!
We are so glad you enjoyed the day with us! Amanda is certainly a gem! We do apologize that our evening driver was not as familiar with the entire island as we would like her to be. She is a new member of our team and is doing her best to learn about the various drop offs on this Big Island of ours, but we trust her safe driving and courteous manner. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
