All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Every thing you said it would be and more Thank you

We were picked up right on time from the Marriott Waikīkī, and the entire shuttle experience was absolutely top-notch. Our driver and guide, Masa, was a true delight—friendly, flexible, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The shuttle itself was clean, smooth, and very comfortable, making for a relaxing ride.

What really made the experience stand out was Masa’s personal touch. He took the time to learn each of our names and offered outstanding tips and advice that really enriched our visit. It felt like more than just transportation—it was a warm, welcoming experience.

10 out of 10. I’d absolutely recommend this service and would happily ride with Masa again!

This tour was mind blowing especially because of tour guide Felix! He showed us all the best spots and gave so much interesting history and facts without making you want to fall asleep LOL. First time in Hawaii and I’m so grateful to have been on this excursion! Amazing food, views and so much more. Thank you wasabi tours and even bigger thank you to Felix!! ❤️❤️

I love Hawaii, and my first visit was 52 years ago. After that, I went on my honeymoon, and since my children have grown up, I've been to Hawaii several times. During those visits, I drove to the North Shore after the highway was built. This time, I participated in a one-day tour of Oahu for the first time, and it brought back so many memories.

First, the tour guide asked us where we wanted to go, and he mentioned the power spot of Shohei Ohtani. More than anything, I loved feeling the Hawaiian breeze from Kahala to Hanauma Bay and the Halona Blowhole. I touched the rock at Ohtani's power spot and felt energized. I experienced the local Hawaiian roads and went to Sunset Beach, which felt like it hadn't changed at all, and I was very moved.

I often visit Haleiwa Town, so I wasn't particularly interested in that, but I wanted to go to Tropical Farms after seeing it on TV. We had plenty of samples, and cracking open the macadamia nuts was the most delicious experience I've ever had. My husband and I are already thinking about which tour to take for our trip to Hawaii next year. This time was a wonderful experience, and I'm so glad I could do it. Thank you very much.

私はハワイが大好きで一番最初は５２年前その後は新婚旅行　子供達が大きくなってからのハワイは数回目で　そのうちに高速もできてレンタカーを借りてはノースショアの方まで行く行きましたが　今回は初めてオアフ島１日観光ツアーに参加して懐かしいの連発でした　まずはツアーが私達２人でガイドさんが希望の所と言われ大谷選手のパワースポットと言っていました　何よりハワイの一番好きなカハラからハナウマベイ　ハロナ潮吹き岩まさしくハワイの風をを感じ大谷君のパワースポットの岩を触ってパワーを頂き　ローカルなハワイロードを感じサンセットビーチへここまでは何も変わっていない感じですごく感激でした　ハレイワタウンは良く来るので興味なしと言ってトロピカルファームはテレビで見て行きたいと言って試食たっぷりして何よりマカデミアナッツを割って頂いたのは最高に美味しかったです今まで食べたことのない体験もでき主人と来年のハワイはどのツアーにしようと今から考えています　今回はとても良い経験で出来て嬉しかったです
有難うございます。

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.

ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ？とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。

Its a cheap, pretty trip down the river and then you get to see a really pretty spot with a little cave and waterfall in a jungle like setting. Id say go. It only takes a couple hours. Guides were sometimes funny, sometimes looked like they were in hell lol, but it didn't matter, it was fun. You should go.

This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.

The tour guide James was friendly and very kind, always attentive to our health during the hike. He also provided fascinating explanations about constellations and the Mauna Kea telescope. Since it was an English tour, it was great to bond with participants from various regions of the United States throughout the tour.

ツアーガイドのJamesはフレンドリーで、山登り中に体調にも常に気をかけてくれてとても親切でした。また、星座やマウナケアの望遠鏡についても非常に詳しく説明してもらえ面白かったです。英語ツアーということもあり、アメリカの色々な地域から来た参加者同士ともツアーを通してとても仲良くなれて良かったです。

A precious activity where you can experience the Earth itself through your senses, with vast lands, sea of clouds, giant telescopes observing distant stars, and constellations not seen in Japan... In the pre-explanation received via email, it was mentioned that there would be no Japanese guide, but on the day of the experience, perhaps due to good luck, we were the only Japanese participants and received individual guidance in Japanese. The jackets and pants provided by the activity were quite thick, and I felt sufficiently warm even in an environment around 0°C. The sandwiches and hot cocoa we were given were delicious and soothing for a slight headache.

広大な大地や雲海、遠くの星を観測する巨大な望遠鏡や日本では見られない星座...と、日常では味わえない地球そのものを五感で体感できる貴重なアクティビティ。
メールで届いていた事前説明では日本語のガイドはしていないとのことだったが、体験した日は運が良かっのか、私たちしか日本人がいなかったにも関わらず、個別に日本語でガイドしていただけた。
アクティビティ側で用意されているジャケットとパンツはかなり厚手のもので、0℃前後の環境でも十分に暖かく感じた。いただいたサンドイッチやホットココアも、軽めの頭痛を癒やす美味しさだった。

It was a more interesting experience than I expected. Since I can't go myself, please be sure to participate. You won't regret joining. It's a waste not to come to the Big Island and climb Mauna Kea.

予想以上に面白い体験でした。自分では行けないので、是非参加してください。参加して損はありません。ハワイ島に来て、マウナケアに登らないのはもったいないです。

Despite the unfortunate weather making both the sunset and stargazing seem hopeless, our guide, Yamapi, did not give up and skillfully led us to points of interest, allowing us to witness a wonderful sight. I was truly impressed by his determination!

あいにくの天候でサンセットも星空も絶望的で他社ツアーが下山する中、ガイドのやまぴーさんだけが諦めておらずポイントを紡いでご案内頂き素晴らしい光景を目にすることができました。諦めない姿勢に感嘆です！

The sunset visible from the summit was breathtaking and truly memorable. As for the starry sky, while it was beautiful, we may have had slightly higher expectations. The guide primarily spoke in English but occasionally mixed in some Japanese, making an effort to entertain all participants.

山頂から見える夕陽は絶景で、非常に記憶に残るものとなりました。
ただ星空に関しては、もちろん綺麗ではあったのですが、少しこちら側が期待しすぎてしまった感はありました。
ガイドは英語メインでしたが、時折日本語も混ぜてくれて、参加者全員を楽しませようとしてくれました。

I used the Celebrity Course at a discount campaign, which was a bit cheaper. I arrived early to get a good seat, and the Japanese staff secured a front-row spot for us, providing detailed explanations about the food, drinks, and experiences. The food was served on a single plate rather than a buffet. Although I was told I could have seconds, there was so much that I couldn't finish it all. The children, who hadn't enjoyed the Hawaiian cuisine much until then, said it was close to Japanese flavors and easy to eat. The seasoning was mild and quite tasty.

The highlight was definitely the show, which was incredibly powerful from the front row. The dancers, both male and female, were all beautiful and captivating, and their performances were impressive. I couldn't take my eyes off the movements of their muscles and the delicate gestures of their hands. This level of intensity could only be experienced from the front row.

Unfortunately, my understanding of English was a bit lacking. The performers were very skilled at engaging the audience, and the venue was lively, but I only understood parts of it. One thing to note is that I was informed that a photo taken with the performers at the beginning would cost $30 each (was it $60 for two photos with different poses?). The photos turned out well, so I ended up buying one with the Aloha pose. After purchasing, I was able to download the data. While it's a nice memento, it is a bit pricey. However, my overall satisfaction was excellent. I'm glad I came.

割引キャンペーンで少し安くセレブリティコースを利用しました
良い席に座りたくて早く行きましたが、日本人スタッフの方が最前列を確保して下さっていて、料理やドリンク、体験などの細かな説明も全てしてくださいました
料理はビュッフェではなく、ワンプレートでサーブされたのものが運ばれてきました
おかわりもできるとの事でしたが、全部食べきれないくらいたくさんありました
それまでのハワイの料理があまり口に合わなかった子どもたちが、日本の味に近くて食べやすいと言っていました
味付けがマイルドで普通に美味しかったです
一番良かったのはやはり最前列で見ることができたショーですごく迫力がありました
ダンサーたちは男女共にみなさん美しく魅力的で、パフォーマンスも見応えがありました
筋肉の動きや手先の細やかな動きまで、目が離せませんでした
この迫力は最前列でなければ見ることはできないでしょう
残念だったのは、自分の英語の理解力です
パフォーマーの口上も盛り上げ方もとても上手で、会場はとても盛り上がっていましたが、私は所々しか分かりませんでした
注意したいのは、最初にパフォーマーと一緒に撮影した写真が1枚30ドルで案内されたことですが、(ポーズが違う写真2枚で60？だったかな)良く取れていたので、アロハポーズの写真を1枚買ってしまいました
購入すれば、データもダウンロードできました
思い出としては良いものですが、少し高いですね
しかし、全体的な満足感はバッチリでした
来て良かったです

We participated as a group of six, including family members. The children, who are university and high school students, are all above middle school age and can ride a bicycle normally. Although we had no experience with mountain biking, we thought it would be fine since it was a beginner course. However, since it was our first time using electric assist, the sensation of acceleration and control felt somewhat different from a regular bicycle, which made us anxious from the start. Just when we thought we managed to start, within five minutes, two of the children were asked to leave, and since we couldn't leave two minors waiting in a foreign land, the parents had no choice but to leave as well. The remaining three of us continued, but ultimately, after about 15 minutes, my middle school son was also asked to leave, and only my husband and the university student completed the course. There was no alternative plan, no partial refunds, and it was a tourist facility that only operates as an experience facility, leaving us just waiting for the other members to finish. We missed the highlights of the movie we wanted to see... and it cost nearly 20,000 yen per person. I hope they recognize that the fee is a reflection of the service provided. It's disappointing that they think presenting a cancellation policy will alleviate complaints. The participation criteria are low, yet the riding standards they require are high.

親族を含めた６人で参加しました。子供達は大学生、高校生を含めた中学生以上で、普通に自転車は乗れるので参加しました。マウンテンバイクは未経験でしたが、初心者のコースだったので大丈夫だと思いましたが、電動アシストが初めてということもあり、途中で加速する感覚や普通の自転車とコントロールがやや違うので、最初の練習から不安でした。なんとかスタートしたと思いきや、その５分も経たないうちに子供2人が退場宣告を受け、異国の地で未成年を2人で待機させる事ができず、親も退場せざるしかなく、残り3人で進んで行きましたが、結局その15分程で、中学生の息子も退場させられ、主人と大学生だけが完走しました。代替えプランなし、一部でも返金なし、体験施設のみで成り立ってる観光施設で、ただ、他のメンバーの終わりを待つのみ。見たかった映画の見所を見れず…それで１人2万円近く。
料金はサービスに対する対価であることを認識して欲しいです。キャンセルポリシーを提示しておけば、コンプレを押さえれると思ってること事が残念すぎます。参加基準が低い割に、求める乗車基準が高いです。

Filled with fun, sights, colorful beaches, Maui and especially Hana has it all - what a dream!

As older folks we were nervous about elevation, but this tour makes sure your comfortable and taken care of.

This really wraps up the south shores perfectly while cruising, ending with Fern Grotto was perfect.

Chilly at the top, so make sure to dress warmly! Besides that the views are to die for!

Our guide was the best person we met throughout all the islands. He made this tour so personal and special, and was great overall.

Venue threw us off a bit at first, but seating was great and the show blew out of the water.

It was a great leaning experience of the beautiful Polynesian culture with a personal connection to the crew.

Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!

The tour was well-organized, with enough time at each site to explore and reflect.

Lots and I mean lots to do and see on this road! We had got so many wonderful scenes throughout.

Kilauea was just amazing, I could go every day if it was possible!

I think being able to ride horses along the coast is something unique to Hawaii, so I decided to participate. All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!

海沿いを乗馬できるのはハワイならではだと思い参加しました。
説明はすべて英語でしたが、行くまでの道中で日本語でドライバーのカズさんが事前に教えてくれていたので安心して楽しむことができました！
馬も慣れているのか前の馬が進めば自分の意志で進んでくれました。
ハレイワでは希望の場所で降ろしてもらえたので迷わずに行きたいお店に行けました！

On the first day, which I was very anxious about, I used the airport transfer service and headed to the meeting point. When I found the car and greeted the driver, KEN, who spoke fluent Japanese, welcomed me with a smile. After I communicated all the places I wanted to visit, he suggested an efficient order considering the store opening times. During the ride, he taught me various things about Hawaii, which was both educational and enjoyable. He also introduced me to many delicious local restaurants that tourists typically don't go to. The hamburger place he recommended was truly delicious. I was very glad to use this service and would like to use it again. Thank you, KEN!

とても不安だった１日目、空港送迎を利用し待ち合わせ場所まで向かいました。車を見つけ挨拶をすると日本語がペラペラのKENさんが笑顔で出迎えてくれました。行きたい場所を全て伝えると、お店のオープン時間なども考慮して効率の良い順番を提案してくれました。移動中はハワイの事をいろいろ教えてくれて勉強にもなり楽しかったです。観光客が行かないようなローカルの美味しいお店もたくさん教えてくれました。オススメしてもらったハンバーガー屋さんも本当に美味しかったです。こちらを利用してとても良かったです。また利用したいです。KENさんありがとうございました！

We were picked up at 3 PM for Haleakalā. Despite the temperature being 29°C, we gathered with warm clothing. The car set off towards Haleakalā, taking breaks for altitude acclimatization. At 1000 meters, we stopped at a supermarket to prepare dinner. At 2000 meters, we took a bathroom break and captured photos of avocado trees.

We reached the 3000-meter mark, but some participants felt the air was thin. At 6 PM, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, treated us to various poke ingredients and rice, which we enjoyed as poke bowls in the car. Once it got dark, we had a stargazing session. Despite bringing a down coat, it was still cold, and I was surprised that my hands became numb.

We returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM, and I am grateful to Mr. Yamauchi for being talented, attentive, and smooth in conversation, keeping tourists, including children, engaged for over half a day.

ハレアカラへは15時のお迎えだった。
気温29℃なのに防寒着を持っての集合だった。
さっそくハレアカラを目差して車は出発した。高地順応のために休憩を取りながらのハレアカラ行である。
1000mではスーパーマーケットに立ち寄り夕食の用意をした。
2000mではトイレタイムでアボカドのなっている木を写真に収めた
いいよ3000mの地点に到達したが空気を薄いと感じていた参加者もいた。
18時になって添乗員ヤマウチさんが薦めてくれた種々のポキの具材とご飯をポキ丼にして車内でいただいた。
暗くなったところで天体観察である。寒さの中、星や星座の説明を聞きながら天体観察させてもらった。ダウンコートを持って行ったのにも関わらず寒かった。手が悴んで感覚がなくなってきたのには驚いた。
ホテルへ帰ってきたのは22時半ころであったが、それにしても添乗員ヤマウチさんは多才で気が利いて、話が滑らかで子供を含めた観光客を半日以上もずっと飽きさせないで案内してくれたことには感謝している。

I participated in the E-bike tour again this time. This is a repeat from last year. The guide was very kind and attentive. One slight disappointment was that it was crowded, and the spots often overlapped with jeep tours and bus tours. Last time it was less crowded, so it was more comfortable. I recommend Kualoa Ranch to others as well. I have experienced bus tours and horseback riding multiple times, but the E-bike tour offers the best scenery and photography opportunities.

今回もEバイクツアーに参加しました。昨年に次いでリピートです。。ガイドさんもとっても親切で丁寧に接してくれました。少し残念だったのは混んでいてスポットがジープツアーやバスツアーと重なることが多かったです。前回は空いていたので過ごしやすかったです。クアロアランチは他の方にも勧めています。バスツアー、乗馬など何度も体験していますがEバイクツアーが1番景色や撮影をを楽しめます。

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. There were about 20 participants, mostly from English-speaking countries, and many appeared to be older. At the meeting point, there were several tours departing for the same destination at the same time, so it was necessary to look for the bus I was supposed to board.

The explanations and guidance during the tour were only in English. However, the guide, Marlon, could also speak Japanese and often reached out to us. It was possible to ask simple questions individually.

The public restroom at the photo stop was not very clean, so I recommend using the bus restroom instead. The time spent at Byodoin Temple, the macadamia shop, and the Dole Plantation was just right. In North Shore, I was aiming for the Patagonia and Snoopy shops, as well as Matsumoto Shave Ice. The lunch portion was quite large, which took some time to eat, so we had to hurry a bit, but we managed to see everything. I recommend checking in advance the crowd levels and portion sizes for lunch. It was okay to eat Matsumoto Shave Ice on the bus as long as it didn't spill from the container, so I bought it at the end and finished it on the bus. The wait time was about 10 minutes.

The view from the bus window was very beautiful, offering a different landscape from Honolulu.

新婚旅行で参加しました。
参加者は20人ほど、私達以外は英語圏の方がほとんどで、高齢の方が多かった印象です。集合場所に同時刻発で同じ目的地のツアーが次々来ていたので自分が乗るバスを探す必要があります。
ツアー中の説明及びガイドは英語のみです。ただ、ガイドのMarlonさんは日本語も話せるので、よく声をかけてくださりました。個別に簡単な質問をすることは可能です。
途中の写真撮影スポットで停車した所の公衆トイレはあまりキレイではなかったのでバスのお手洗いを使用される方が良いかと思います。
平等院、マカダミアのショップやドールプランテーションは程良い滞在時間でした。ノースショアではパタゴニアとスヌーピーのショップ、マツモトシェイブアイスが目当てでした。お昼ご飯の量が多かったため食べるのに時間が掛かってしまい、少し急ぎめにはなりましたが、回り切ることができました。お昼ご飯は混み具合や提供される量を予め下調べしておくのがお勧めです。マツモトシェイブアイスは、器からこぼれない程度なら車内で食べても大丈夫とのことで、最後に購入して残りを車内で食べました。大体10分程度の待ち時間でした。
車窓からの眺めもとてもキレイでホノルルとは違った風景が楽しめました。
