All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

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.

It was a long day but the time flew by as our tour guide/driver kept us entertained the entire day. We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family and we look forward to booking more tours the next time we're in Oahu!

Had a great time! We enjoyed ourselves on the tour :)...

This was one of the most enjoyable and informative tours I have been on, Tiffany was an excellent and knowledgeable host this tour offers more than the tour description indicates and includes detailed interesting natural fauna information. I can highly recomend this very enjoyable tour and is excellent value for money the shrimp meal was enjoyable. Well done Tiffany for making our day day an enjoyable one.

I participated alone during a break from work. I slightly regretted joining since everyone around me was honeymooning couples (laughs), but the conductor was very entertaining and saved the experience for me (laughs).

It was still the time of year when snow remained, so I couldn't reach the summit, but even so, the setting sun and the starry sky were breathtaking sights.

This has been the most memorable experience of all my travels.

仕事の合間に一人で参加しました。周りはハネムーンの夫婦ばかりで少し参加したことを後悔しましたが（笑）コンダクターの方がとても面白く救われました（笑）
まだ雪が残っている時期で、山頂までは行けなかったのですが、それでも沈んでいく太陽、満天の星空は息を飲む光景でした。
今までの旅行の中で一番印象に残っています。

I participated in the garden tour at the Bishop Museum. I took the city bus, which took about 45 minutes, and arrived before the opening. The gate was open, so I relaxed in the garden and took some photos. The garden tour with a Japanese guide started at 9:15.

I learned about the names and origins of the plants, heard Hawaiian folklore, and had the unique experience of cracking kukui nuts and touching them, which I couldn't have done without the guide. The bracelet I made became my souvenir.

I highly recommend that after the garden tour, you don't leave right away but continue to spend time at the Bishop Museum. There are many hands-on exhibits where you can play and touch traditional Hawaiian instruments, making it a lot of fun for both kids and adults. The planetarium was also great.

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。

We participated as a couple with our sixth-grade son. First, we went to Moalua Garden, then to a coffee shop, and finally to Dole Plantation. We spent 30 minutes at Dole, which was enough time to eat soft serve ice cream and look at souvenirs. Next, we headed to a beach with turtles. There were only two swimming in the water, and they didn't come ashore.

We had a 60-minute meal time in Haleiwa Town. I had previously communicated my desire for Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp, and the guide took us to a restaurant, but it was disappointing that it wasn't Marukey's. I regretted not asking to go to Marukey's. Since it was before 11 a.m., we were able to buy the Huli Huli chicken quickly. The taste was just average.

For horseback riding, we walked in a line along a mountain path, but the scenery became monotonous halfway through, making the 90 minutes feel long. I was very disappointed that the photos taken by the local guide with my camera didn't turn out well. The horseback riding itself was fine for elementary school students, but I think the coastal course would have had better views.

The guide explained various things about Hawaii on the bus. While the information about history and current life was helpful, I honestly found the discussions about celebrities' private lives unnecessary and uninteresting.

夫婦と小学6年生の息子で参加しました。
最初にモアルナガーデン、次にコーヒー屋さん、ドールプランテーションへ。
ドールは３０分の滞在、ソフトクリームを食べてお土産を見るのには十分でした。
次に亀のいる浜辺へ。海の中に2匹泳いでいるだけで上陸はしていませんでした。
ハレイワタウンで６０分の食事時間。あらかじめ、フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプの希望を伝えるとガイドさんがお店に連れて行ってくれますが、マーキーズではないお店だったのが残念でした。マーキーズに行きたいと言えばよかったとちょっと後悔。フリフリチキンは時間が11時前だったせいかすぐに買えました。味はまあ普通です。
乗馬は、山道をずーっと隊列になって歩いて行きますが途中から景色が単調で９０分が長く感じられました。現地のガイドさんに頼んだカメラの写真がうまく撮れていなくて非常に残念。
乗馬自体は小学生でも大丈夫でしたが、海辺のコースの方が眺めが良くてよかったかなと思いました。
ガイドさんがバスの中で色々とハワイの事を説明してくれます。歴史や現在の生活については為になりましたが、芸能人の私生活の話はプライベートなことですし興味がないので正直余計な話だと思いました。

This is what we came to see in Hawaii. It did not disappoint. The audio head set is a must. It kept us on time. It was a stormy rainy day - all day which didn't really matter it was very somber.
My only regret was that I didn't bring my lae that I received at the airport. You can throw flowers at the Arizona.

The weather and moon phase were favorable, making for a very good experience. Our guide, Yo, was smart. His quick thinking and eloquence were wonderful (laughs). I was able to take photos of stars that I couldn't capture with my own camera, and being able to download them for free was also appreciated. It truly became a great memory. Thank you, Yo, for your help.

お天気と月齢に恵まれて、とても良い経験になりました。
ガイドさんのヨウさんは賢い。
頭の回転と舌の滑りが素晴らしい(笑)
持参のカメラでは撮れない星の写真を撮影して頂け、無料でダウンロード出来るのも有り難いです。本当に良い思い出になりました。
ヨウさん、お世話になりました。

We went on the dinner cruise our first night in Kona. The water was pretty choppy, myself and another woman became very sea sick from the beginning of the cruise. The crew were very concern and tried to make us as comfortable as they could. My husband and mom had a great time the enjoyed the food and entertainment.

The weather in the lower region was sunny with occasional clouds. In the evening, as I approached the summit, the weather was good. The view from the top was amazing, with a beautiful sunset. As the sun set, the sky darkened, and after closing my eyes for a while, when I opened them, I could see the Milky Way beautifully in the sky. You can't see it this clearly in the lower region. After that, the weather changed suddenly, and it started to rain, so I couldn't see the stars. However, I heard that this tour allows for a partial refund to try again until you can see the beautiful stars, so I descended with hopes of joining the next tour.

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。

Due to a protest against the construction of a new observatory, the road was closed beyond the Onizuka Center, and I couldn't reach the summit. However, the guide quickly took us to a different nearby location where we were able to see some truly breathtaking views. The weather was excellent, and it was mystical to see the sun setting below the sea of clouds and the shadow of the Earth. I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye and observed Saturn's rings through a telescope. The guide's explanations of the constellations were very interesting. Even though I couldn't reach the summit, it was still a wonderful experience, but I feel a bit regretful, so I want to try again for a rematch.

新しい天文台の建設反対デモとかぶってしまいオニヅカセンターより先がロードクローズで山頂へは行けませんでしたが、ガイドの方が急きょ近くの違う場所に連れてってくれてとても感動的な景色を見ることができました。お天気はとても良くて雲海の下に沈む太陽や地球の影も見れて神秘的でした。天の川が肉眼で確認でき、望遠鏡で土星の輪も観察しました。話し上手なガイドさんの星座の解説がとても面白かったです。山頂まで行けなくてもとてもいい体験ができましたがやっぱり悔しいのでまたリベンジしたいです。

Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!

We spent 2 nights in Honolulu after a cruise so as we were short on time so this was the best way to see most of the Island. It was an amazing tour, very well organized and saw a lot of places we would never of seen on our own. Our guide Ernie was brilliant, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone staying on the Island.

The staff was kind, and the starry sky was amazing. I really appreciated the thorough explanations. Although we couldn't reach the summit due to bad weather, it was a satisfying tour. One issue was that there were too many participants, which made the car feel cramped. We were seated together as a parent and child, but newlyweds were seated in front and behind us, and I felt a bit sorry for them as they were holding hands during the journey. I hope they consider not only increasing productivity but also the feelings of the participants.

スタッフも親切で、星空も最高でした。
丁寧な説明はhとても評価できます。
天候が悪く山頂までは行けませんでしたが、満足できるツアーでした。
課題としては、参加人数が多すぎて、車にすし詰状態なのには不満を感じました。
私達は親子で並び席でしたが、新婚の方が前後に座られ
せめてもと道中手を握られてるのが少し不憫に感じました。
生産性を上げる事〜だけでなくて、参加者の思いも汲んであげて欲しいです。

We had a great time! Staff was friendly and very interactive with guest, food was great and plentiful, entertainment was great, historical guide was informative and great to talk too! The boat wasn't packed with people like the other boats leaving the dock. We would definitely do the dinner cruise again. You get some spectacular sites from the cruise, even a dolphin side show. The captain stopped the Boat for dinner and we watched the spectacular sunset while eating. It was a great experience! I would highly recommend this dinner cruise.

It was just the two of us participating with a friend. At first, I was a bit anxious since we were the only Japanese people there, but there were no problems at all. The bus ride seemed like a sightseeing shuttle, and if you understand a little English, you can enjoy it. I've seen various Hawaiian shows before, but this one was quite fun. Participating in the evening and being able to return to the hotel around 9 PM is also appealing. If you have no plans in the evening, I definitely recommend going!

友達と二人参加でした。
日本人が、私たちしかいなく最初不安になりましたが、なんの問題も有りませんでした。
行きのバスは、観光付きの送迎のようで、多少英語が分かれば楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーも今まで色々のもの見てますが、かなり楽しいです。
夕方からの参加で、程よい９時頃ホテルに戻れるのも魅力です。
夕方から予定がないなら、ぜひいったほうがいいですよ。

I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal crab legs and steak!! N fireWorks at the end of the night was great too

Just as I remembered as a kid. Thank you for a great experience.

I was nervous before riding the horse, but the smart horses gave me a wonderful time. They worked hard to climb steep hills and skillfully avoided muddy areas, making the 90 minutes fly by without any scary moments. The guide also made great use of our time, showing us various places and preparing meals, which made us very happy. My family and I are talking about wanting to participate again!

馬に乗る前は緊張していましたが、賢い馬たちに、楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
かなり急な坂を頑張って登ってくれたり、ぬかるみを上手に避けて歩いてくれて、怖い思いをすることなくあっという間の９０分でした。
ガイドの方も時間をうまく使って、色々なところに案内してくれたり、食事の準備を下さって大変うれしかったです。また参加したいね～と家族みんなで話しています。

The guide was helpful and quite friendly. Love the trip in total.

Excellent! This tour went above and beyond our expectations. Amy & Zoom, our tour guides were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw many sights from the show, including the McGarrett home and inside the Aloha Stadium. There were some other great surprises too! We would highly recommend this tour to 5-0 fans.

Rain excluded all views. Otherwise nice hike. Driver courteous and informative

The Canyon was beautiful. The river cruise was very relaxing and enjoyable. All in all it was very nice. The road up to the Canyon reminded me of going to Kings Canyon in California. Very interesting!

My sister and I were upgraded to a helicopter tour to Hana. Then we came back by limo to our hotel. It was a great trip and we enjoyed every minute!

From the moment the guide picked us up at the hotel, I had a feeling it was going to be a fun tour because of their incredibly high energy. They even arrived five minutes early for the pickup.

We were visiting the Big Island for our honeymoon and wanted to do something memorable, which is why we chose this tour. Our guide, Matsuzaki, was not only entertaining but also very attentive, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

We got to take a lot of wonderful photos. The sunset we saw from the highest point was incredibly beautiful, and the pictures taken with the setting sun in the background were so good that I plan to develop them and display them in our room.

We also did some stargazing a little further down, and the starry sky was astonishingly clear. We could even see artificial satellites with the naked eye. Matsuzaki provided perfect explanations of the constellations, kept us laughing, and used an amazing camera to take pictures of the starry sky with us.

I'm really glad I participated in this tour. Thank you so much, Matsuchan!!

ホテルに迎えに来てくれた時から、ガイドさんのテンションがものすごく高くて楽しいツアーになりそうな予感がありました。お迎えの時間も5分前に来てくれましたよ。
今回は新婚旅行でハワイ島を訪れていたのですが、何か記憶に残ることをしたいと選んだのがこちらのツアーでした。
ガイドの松崎さんは、面白い上にとても気を配ってくださって、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
素敵な写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。
今までで一番高いところから見た夕陽はとても美しく、また沈む夕陽をバックに撮ってもらった写真は現像して部屋に飾る程良い写真でした。
少しだけ下ったところで星空観測をしたのですが、驚くほどの満天の星空です。人工衛星も肉眼で確認出来ました。
松崎さんは星座の説明も完璧、笑いをとることも忘れず、またこちらでもすごいカメラを使って星空と一緒に写真を撮ってくれました。
本当にツアーに参加して良かったです。
まっちゃん、ほんとありがとー！！

I signed up for canyon horseback riding, but due to bad weather, it was canceled and changed to a seaside course. While the weather is no one's fault, I was really looking forward to it, so it's disappointing. However, I was glad that I could still go horseback riding on the seaside course. Thank you to the guide for being so kind. I will try canyon horseback riding again next year.

渓谷乗馬を申し込みしましたが、天候が悪くキャンセルになり海辺コースに変更になりました。天候は誰の責任ではありませんが、楽しみにしていただけに残念です。しかし海辺コースでも乗馬が出来たので良かった。ガイドさんも親切にして頂きありがとうございました。来年また渓谷乗馬に再挑戦します。

My friend and I had a great time. Jack was a great tour guide and was very informative and very entertaining .

Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!
