All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Very friendly team. Highly recommend. Thank you very much

Guide was a local from the waupiah Valley and was very very knowledgeable give us a very good insight as to real native life there .. highly recommend it

Friendly staff. Good drinks. Clear directions and information.

Thought everything what amazing. Stopped at all the areas for pictures and Ivan our guide was tremendous. Could not have had a better experience!!!

We enjoyed a tram tour through the gardens prior to the Imu ceremony, explaining the cooking process of the Kalua pig. Everyone on the property was welcoming and made out experience great. Food was typical luau fare, and seconds were offered after everyone had been through the line once. Bar was open for drinks, and we were allowed to take them over to the show at the pavilion for the show. The show provides some history, different cultures that melded in to current Hawai’i. It was very interesting. Overall a lovely evening.

I stayed at Twin Fin, and it was really great that the hotel provided transportation from Waikiki to Haleiwa, as it's quite far to go on your own!

First, we did a little sightseeing in the city, and then they took us to the Dole Plantation. The driver acted as a guide throughout the journey, which really deepened my knowledge, and he was humorous, making it a lot of fun.

In Haleiwa, we had free time to try the famous garlic shrimp, but personally, I was really happy to be able to drink a latte made with coffee beans that can only be found on the North Shore!

ツインフィンに宿泊していたのですが、ワイキキからハレイワまで個人で行くととても遠いのを、ホテルから連れて行ってくれるので、とてもありがたいツアーでした！
まず、市内観光を少しして、Doleプランテーションに連れて行ってくれるのですが、始終運転手の方が移動中ガイドをしてくれるので、知識もとても深まりましたし、ユーモアのあるガイドで楽しかったです。
ハレイワではかの有名なガーリックシュリンプもフリータイムで食べに行くことも出来るのですが、個人的にはノースショアでしか獲ることのできないコーヒー豆を使ったラテを飲めたのがとても嬉しかったです♪

The guided tour was enjoyable and fulfilling! During sunset, the guide took a lot of photos, and when I looked at those pictures later, it reminded me of the fun we had at that time. Thank you! 😊

ガイドツアーの方も楽しく、満喫できました！！サンセットの時にガイドの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくださり、後でその写真を見た時にあの時の楽しさを思い出しました。ありがとうございます😊

I was looking forward to the Polynesian dance, but aside from the last performer who used fire, the atmosphere was greatly diminished by the presence of mostly Western and Chinese-Japanese performers. After all, Polynesian dance should be performed by those who embody the Polynesian spirit... Other than that, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアのダンスを楽しみにしていたのに、最後の火を使った演技者以外は欧米系、中華日系で雰囲気が大きく損なわれた。
やはりポリネシアダンスはポリネシアンの雰囲気を持った方が踊らないと…
それ以外は満足です

We were over 30 minutes early for the scheduled tour shuttle, which was good because they showed up right after we did and wanted to leave.
The guide was very nice, but carried on a conversation with the passenger in the front seat for a lot of the time, and didn't inform us about much in the 3+ hours we spent in the van.
It was mostly cloudy all day, but he said it would clear up on top of the mountain. Well.. it didn't. He had a nice jackets, chairs and a blanket for everyone, as well as a nice telescope. The sky opened up for a quick look at Jupiter and it's moons, and our moon, but nothing else. We spent inside of 2 minutes total, looking through the telescope. Not much discussion of anything at all. It was a total bust and certainly not worth $230 per person. Make sure the sky will be clear and the moon will not be out as it makes it nearly impossible to see anything. Otherwise you're wasting your time and money. I know the tour guide doesn't control the weather, and he did offer a return trip next time we were on the island with a half day to spend in a van, but we will pass.

The instructors were all kind and many of them were interesting. The sea, mountains, and islands looked beautiful from above, and I was truly moved.

インストラクターさんもみんな優しく、面白い方が多い印象でした。上空から見る海、山、島どれも綺麗で感動しかなかったです。

What a rush !!! Excellent excursion!!
Closest thing to being in a surfboard.
Guide excelled at giving understandable directions.

It was interesting. The audience joined in for a fun entertainment experience. It was great to watch from a good seat. I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

おもしろかったです。
観客も一緒になって楽しいエンタテーメントでした。良い席で観られて最高でした。飽きずに観れました。

Joshua was great at setting up everything and communicating. The charcuterie plate was good too. We had a lot of fun during the photoshoot. I only wish we had access to all the photos taken (we only received a selection of them).

It was a tour on a day with a bit of strong wind, but I had a great time!

I got to see sea turtles, and the tour captain and staff were all very kind, which made me very satisfied! On this tour, there were two staff members who spoke Japanese, and they carefully explained the safety instructions on the boat, how to play at the sandbar, and how to snorkel! (They provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones.)

I was able to see sea turtles while at the sandbar and during snorkeling, so it was a very valuable experience!

The bus driver who took us to the port was also a friendly and nice person!

I had a wonderful experience until the end, and it was really fun!

少々風が強い日のツアーでしたがとても楽しかったです！

ウミガメも見れたし、ツアーのキャプテンやスタッフの方も優しい方ばかりで大満足でした！
今回のツアーでは日本語を話してくれるスタッフが2名おり、船上での注意事項やサンドバーでの遊び方、シュノーケリングのやり方など丁寧に教えてくれました！(英語での説明の後に日本語で改めて説明してくれました)

サンドバーやシュノーケリング中もウミガメが見れたので、とても貴重な体験ができました！

港までの送迎バスの運転手さんも気さくな良い方でした！

最後まで素敵な体験をさせてもらい、とても楽しかったです！

The water was cold, so we couldn't play for long, but we had a great time snorkeling and seeing lots of fish, as well as enjoying stand-up paddleboarding.

水が冷たくてのんびり長くあそべませんでしたが、シュノーケリングで沢山の魚を見たり、サップを楽しんだり楽しかったです。

It is a really wonderful trip. Very good tour guide. Execllent photos took by professional photographer.

The tour was kind and there were no issues at all! I recommend it because you can enjoy the scenery without getting bored from the meeting point to the destination!

ツアーは親切で困ることはなかったです！集合場所から目的地までも退屈することなく景色楽しめるのでおすすめです！

Our tour guide was awesome! Albachino was our tour guide and he was hilarious, knowledgeable, and so kind!

At first, I was worried, but it was easy to understand because they taught me with gestures and hand signals. Driving the buggy was also simple, and the scenery was amazing.

最初は心配でしたが、身振り､手振りで教えてくれるのでわかりやすかったです。バギーの運転も簡単だったし、景色も最高でした。

I was worried about whether we could go to the summit because of the rain forecast, but it wasn't raining near the top, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. I also enjoyed taking many photos and learning about various places. The guide was very, very kind, which was great. There were too many clouds to see the stars, so I want to try again in the future. The sandwiches for dinner were also very delicious.

雨予報だったため山頂に行けるか不安でしたが、山頂付近は雨が降っておらず夕陽が見れてとても綺麗でした。また各所の説明と写真をたくさん撮っていただけて楽しめました。ガイドの方がとてもとても親切でよかったです。雲が多く星は見えなかったため、今後リベンジしたいです。夕ご飯のサンドイッチもとても美味しかったです。

The best staff!
The best views!
The best cruising!
Definitely get on and enjoy it!!
It was so good that there’s no reason not to ride!

最高のスタッフ！
最高の景色！
最高のクルージング！
是非乗って楽しんで下さい！！
乗らない理由がないくらい良かった！

I went to the show on the evening of the first day of my trip to Hawaii. It was my first time seeing a show, and from start to finish, it was a wonderful performance that kept my eyes glued to the stage. Every time the scene changed, incredible feats were displayed, and I was excited the entire time. I felt like I could have watched Cirque du Soleil every day!

ハワイ旅行初日の夕方に行きました。初めてのショーでしたが開演から終わりまで、目が離せない素敵なショーでした。物語の場面が変わるごとに超人技が繰り広げられ、ずーっと興奮してました。
毎日シルクドソレイユでもよかったなぁという感想です。

I had some trouble with the initial input process, but there was someone at the reception who spoke Japanese, so I was able to complete the procedures somehow.

27 years ago, when I went skydiving in Hawaii, it was really exhilarating, but this time, both my spouse and I started to feel dizzy during the freefall and experienced a bit of motion sickness. My buddy was very kind and made me feel safe during the dive, but the spinning in the air was quite tough.

We felt our age a bit and couldn't enjoy it as much, but it turned out to be a good experience for the second time.

始めの入力作業に手間取ってしまったのですが、受付に日本語ができる方がいてなんとか手続きできました。
27年前にハワイでスカイダイビングした時は、とってもだの覚めたのですが、今回は、夫婦共にダイブ後の空中遊泳中に目が回り始めてしまい、やや乗り物酔いをしてしまいました。バディは、とっても親切で安心してダイブできたのですが、くるくる空中遊泳は、辛かったでした。
私たちは、老いを感じ少し楽しめませんでしたが、2度目の良い重艶になりました。

Last time I participated in a whale watch was in March 2018, but I didn't see any whales then. This time, I was able to see them several times, and I was moved to see whales for the first time. Although I didn't get to see them jump high, I did see them surface and blow water.

The waves were calm, so I was able to participate without getting seasick. As sunset approached, we enjoyed a cruise up to Diamond Head and were able to see a beautiful sunset.

前回2018年3月に来た際にもホエールウォッチに参加しましたが、その時は見れずでした。
今回は数回に渡り見る事ができ、初めて見るクジラに感動です。
大きくジャンプする姿は見れませんでしたが、背中を出して潮を吹く姿は見れました。

波も穏やかで船酔いもせずに参加できました。
日没が近づくとダイヤモンドヘッド手前まで遊覧も楽しめて綺麗な夕日を見る事もできました。

The Fern Grotto tour was a great precursor to the Smith Family Luau. The trek was interesting, and we learned some historical facts, and saw some beautiful scenery. The hula dancing was fun (to watch). It was well worth the time

What a wonderful time! Such beautiful outfits and the fire guys were outstanding! And wonderful service.

We gathered at 7:30 AM and departed for Haleiwa five minutes before the scheduled time. On that day, there were four families participating, including ours. The driver provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which made us feel secure during the ride.

We arrived in less than an hour from Waikiki and had some free time. We took a walk towards the ocean until the shops opened. Once the shops opened, we enjoyed some Huli Huli chicken, ate acai bowls, and bought T-shirts and coffee. It was great because it was cheaper than in Waikiki.

朝7:30集合で定刻5分前にハレイワに向かって出発。当日は、我々含め４家族参加でした。ドライバーの方は、日本語と英語で説明して下さり運転も安心でした。
ワイキキから1時間弱で到着し、自由行動。
お店が開くまで海の方へ散歩して、
お店が開いたら、フリフリチキンを食べたり
アサイーボール食べてTシャツ、コーヒーを買いました。ワイキキより安くて良かったです、、。

Our tour guide Jonah was really nice and super flexible with the schedule so you don’t feel rushed at all. The route is ideal and recommended by locals I talked to. It was a great tour and we really appreciated the tour guide answering all our curious questions happily!

The cheerful staff keeps you entertained. Although it's in English, they are accustomed to Japanese people and explain things with gestures, so there are no problems. The parasailing itself is fantastic. If I have the chance, I would like to do it again next time.

It's fine to bring bags like backpacks. You can store your belongings and sandals in the space under the seats, so they won't get wet. Of course, managing valuables is each person's responsibility. I think the photo option will be added unless you decline it. This time, I participated with three people, and one stayed on the boat, so taking photos with my smartphone was sufficient. With a smartphone, you can also take videos, and if one person is staying on the boat, I think the photo option isn't necessary. However, if there isn't anyone to take photos from the boat, it would be better to opt for it.

The boat rocked, but I didn't get seasick. It might have been influenced by the fact that there were only two groups participating and it was a short time.

陽気なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。英語ですけど、日本人に慣れていて身振り手振りで説明をしてくれるので問題ありません。パラセーリング自体は最高です。機会があれば次回もやりたいと思っています。

リュックなど荷物を持ち込んでも大丈夫です。腰掛け下のスペースに荷物やサンダルなどを入れて保管しますので水には濡れません。もちろん貴重品は各自の責任での管理となります。写真撮影のオプションは断らない限りつけられてしまうと思います。今回、私は3人名での参加で1名が船に残っている状況でしたので、スマホでの撮影で事足りました。スマホだと動画も撮れるし1名が船に残っているのであれば、写真オプションはなくても良いと思います。もし船から撮影してくれる人がいないのであれば、オプションつけた方が良いです。
船は揺れましたが船酔いはしなかったです。2組の参加で短時間であったということも影響したかもしれませんが。

We were able to see dolphins shortly after the boat departed. It rained occasionally, and thanks to that, we also saw a rainbow. Miraculously, we were able to see whales about three times. The sea and Diamond Head from the ocean were both very beautiful, and I was extremely satisfied.

船が出発して早々にイルカを見ることが出来ました。
雨が時折降ってきて、そのおかげで虹も見れました。
奇跡的にクジラも3回程見る事が出来ました。
海も海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドもとても綺麗で大満足です。
