西オアフは初めてだったので楽しみにしていました。
天候にも恵まれ、海のきれいさ最高でした。
神秘的な洞窟にも、始めていきました。
何しろガイドさんの親しみやすさ、わかりやすい説明でとっても楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングをする予定のビーチに、サメが出るとのことで、場所が変更になりましたが、そこもとてもきれいでした。
少人数で、家族的な雰囲気があり最高でした。
あきまさん、お世話になりました、オアフに行ったらまた参加したいです。
有難うございました。アロハ

自然を満喫しながら、ハワイ語のレクチャー等も受けつつ、ハワイに伝わる神話、自然の成り立ちなど多岐にわたるガイドを聞きながらドライブに連れて行って頂いたと言う感じです。シュノーケリングを主に考えると物足りないと思います。
当日はシュノーケリングの当初予定のスポットで鮫が見られたと言うことで別の場所に変更になり、波が少し強めの所になりました。
もしかしたらイルカにも会えるかもと言うキャッチもありましたが、場所の変更もあったのでイルカや亀やマンタには会えませんでした。
インストラクターの方は色々と楽しませて下さいました。
レビューありがとうございます。
イルカはあの日に行ったところのほうが確率は上がります。マンタは確かに見れたこともありますが、かなりレアです。(いつもの場所で2年で3回、今回の場所で2年に3回)海には入るたびに違うものが見れる代わりに、もちろん何も現れないときもあります。自然の動物なのでなんともかんとも・・ですね。カメもいつもの場所でもいないときはいませんし、あの場所でツアー中に5匹でたこともあります。
なのでまた機会があればご参加ください! 今度は何か現れるかも?!
アロハ!

Our Tour Guide Henry was very well versed on all aspects of the Island and to Haleakala in general. He was patient with our entire group and encouraged questions.
Dinner was meh-My husband and I have eaten several times at Cafe O'Lei in Kihei,but this was not up to those standards.

My husband and I took our first trip to Hawai'i (O'ahu) and decided to take this Grand Circle Island tour so we could get a quick summary of some of the many sites to see and explore later on, when we have more time. Our tour guide, Lei-Hua, was definitely a local and she was able to share her vast personal knowledge and experiences of O'ahu with our group, which helped to make it even more special for us! Not just some regular tour guide that points out stuff and tells you what it is. Lei added her own personal touch to all the landmarks and then some!
I'm not sure if folks can specifically request their tour guide, but if you take this tour and it happens to be Lei-Hua, then you are in for a treat!

夫婦で参加しました。
当日は快晴で各観光スポットでの景色も素晴らしかったです。シュノーケリングでは魚は少なかったものの、ウミガメが目の前に現れました!感激し、素敵な思い出になりました。
少し残念だったのはガイドさんです。とてもテンションが高いかたで、ちょっと驚きました(楽しませてくれようとしていたのかもしれませんが、・・・)。彼女はずっとしゃべり続けで、いろいろなハワイに関わる話もしてくださり勉強になりましたが、ご自身の話(昔どこどこに済んでいたときに(数カ国ありました)・・とか、わたしはこれはきらい!等)も多く、「別にあなたのことは・・」と後半げんなりしました。また1名、ホノルル在住?の日本人女性が参加していたのですが、彼女と話すときは友人のような感じで、たとえば米ケンタッキーフライドチキンにしかないメニューについて長々と話し「死ぬときはこのメニューを食べる!」など、日本在住の私たちには知りようもない事で少し嫌みを感じました。
この1名参加の女性はガイドと友人みたいですが特にツアーに協力するでもなく立ち位置が不明でした。
ガイドさんは「私は泳げといわれれば何処までも泳ぐけど、山は絶対登りたくない!」と数回仰っていましたが、参加者の中にはダイアモンドヘッドに登るかたもいたかもしれませんし、少しデリカシーに欠けていると思いました。
最後には名刺を配られ、「お褒めコメントはVERTRAへ!クレームは私のメールへ!」と説明しており、あざとさも感じました。
ツアーの中で不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。
初めての悪いレビューなので参考になります。こういったレビューをいただくと自分を見つめなおすいい機会になりますので感謝いたします。

My daughters and I had a great time The tour bus picked us up on time . The tour guide /driver provided us a lot of information and history about the island, restaurants and all important sites we drive by . He was was funny too . He answered every ones questions.He allowed us enough time for breaks and photos. We had an amazing time at the Waterfall, my youngest had a foot surgery last year and she can’t walk too fast , we where having a great time swimming in the waterfall pool that we lost track of time . We had 15 minutes to make back to the bus , knowing my youngest can’t walk too fast or run my oldest said “ I’ll have him wait mom “ and took off running ( she runs track and cross country) . We had to be back by 12pm , we ( my youngest and I) made by 12:05 , My oldest daughter was happy the driver waited for us , we all were :). Then we drove to the snorkeling site , the tide was low and it was too rocky, I have never snorkel and I’m not a great swimmer, so we walked up to do some shopping and had a fresh coconut. We made our last stop at Haleiwa, the driver recommended some restaurants . The girls and I had a wonderful time , we ate and did some shopping. He was on time to pick us up . On the way back to the hotel we were tired and feel asleep. Overall we had a great time, we visited a few places and I didn’t have to drive through all that traffic I feel bad I forgot the drivers name , He was knowledgeable and I felt safe with him behind the wheel while the girls and I enjoy the activities and sites . The only reason I didn’t rate outstanding is because the snorkeling was not fun , the waves were too strong and the tide was too low , too rocky, but no one can really control that :)

I was excited about the tour, being a keen Hawaii Five-0 fan & was very happy when I was accepted as a solo traveller. The tour was described as being 4 to 4 1/2 hr duration. I was picked up at 8.15 am & by 11.45 am we were heading back to our hotel. There were two vans with four people in each meeting up at stops along the tour route.
Our Guide was very knowledgeable but I felt she was bored & repeating everything by rote. I still don't know her name as she didn't bother to introduce herself. She could have made the whole morning a lot more interesting. I do appreciate all the locations we were shown & background information we were given.
I felt very rushed & would have appreciated more time to take photographs. Also, being allowed out of the van at the National Cemetery would have been better than trying to get photos out of the windows of the van. The same at the Studios. If the tour lasted another 1/2 hour it would not have been so rushed & maybe a couple more locations could have been included. eg .Aloha Tower or where the Shrimp Truck is located.
I hope I might get another chance to do this tour again. Keeping the tour group small is a great idea.

Wow! We had the pleasure of taking the historic Kona tour with Drew. It was an amazing day! Drew has an energy and enthusiasm about the island that is infectious! He took us to beautiful spots that were advertised and even a few of his favorites that were off the beaten path a bit. The thing that stood out was the intricate knowledge of the historical significance of all the places that we went that Drew was able to share with us. I’ve been to a few of these spots before but never understood them as I do now and that’s all from our great guide. Drew, I hope you know that you shared with us a memory that we will all hold dear for life!

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!
There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.
We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!
The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.
The day was long, but so worth it!

Great & affordable shuttle to Diamond Head! The shuttle is very clean, comfortable and reliable.We were picked-up on time, the driver gave us instructions, a map and a bottle of water. The great thing about this tour is that you can walk at your own pace. The hike itself is easy, however towards the end there are some stairs. Walking through a lava tube was really cool. During the hike there are many lookout places with beautiful views of Oahu's south shore. You can see Waikiki, the mountains, downtown Honolulu & Koko Head from a distance and taking a lot of pictures. It was a great way to start my day. Thank you Kaimana Tours for such a great service and for taking me to one of Honolulu's top attractions, it's not everyday that you can tell your friends that your hiked am ancient volcano. I love Hawaii =)

I decided to take my entire family on a hike just to experience it and since we did not have a car rental planned, we decided to book a shuttle with Kaimana Tours! I was even more excited that they allowed us to bring my toddler (2 years old) as a lap child as long as we have a baby carrier, free of charge!
We were picked up by van on time directly from our hotel. The driver was very nice and friendly! The hike to the top was not too bad at all, even my girls enjoyed it (ages 8 & 10). Most of us are beginner hikers and the best part, the view of Waikiki was just breathtaking! I would definitely book Kaimana Tours again next time we visit! maybe go to Manoa Falls or Makapuu Point next time!! I will for sure recommend this to family and friends!

I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.
I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.
I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.
I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!
Aloha, and mahalo nui for spending some time to shower us with your kind words. The fact that you remember the key parts of the luau made us all feel that you had the best time and it is our hope that we'd see you again when you come back to Oahu
