All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

It was more fun than I imagined. I experienced it with my 8-year-old child. When you reach the top, all you can hear is the sound of the wind and the voices of people flying; it's just a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. I didn't wear a hat because it might fly away, but I had no problem keeping my sunglasses on. They also check how much you want your feet to touch the water, so it's fine if you don't want to at all, or if you just want your toes or up to your backside. The staff also communicate well with gestures and broken Japanese, so there's no problem even if you don't speak Japanese. After it was over, it's a 3-minute walk to Whole Foods.

想像以上の楽しさでした。8歳の子供と体験しました。一番上まで上がると風の音と一緒に飛んでいる人の声しか聞こえない、とにかく景色を楽しむ数分間です。帽子は飛びそうだったので被りませんでしたが、サングラスは着けたままでも問題なかったです。途中で足を着水する程度も聞いてくれるので、なしでも良いし、足先だけかおしりまでなのか伝えれば大丈夫。お兄さんたちも英語が分からなくてもカタコトの日本語とジェスチャーで対応してくれるので問題ないです。
終わったあとホールフーズまで歩いて3分です。

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.

At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.

The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.

Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.

100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。

潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。

ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。

船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。

Booking through Veltra was easy, and simple. No issues with transportation or arriving at your destination. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable it was absolutely beautiful and a must. I would 1000 percent do it again, but a different tour option at the ranch since they had so many choices. Either way I absolutely recommend booking with Veltra I shopped around and glad I chose them. UTV is a must. Veltra was even great as I had to switch hotels and pick/drop off and they made it so easy to do. Thanks!

Fun day with the family . Loved the kayak and hike. Waterfall was beautiful but crowded with tourists (like us).

Izzy was an amazing guide and really made the trip that much more fun!

We had a great time with this tour! You got to see gorgeous views from the diamond head and visited Manoa falls that felt like you were in the jungle. It was beautiful! The both tour guides were super nice.

Our tour was perfect. Bartender and crew were all very friendly and kept our drinks full the entire trip. Great views of the fireworks and downtown. Would recommend!

This was an incredible experience! The trails were just challenging enough to give you a respect for the ruggedness of the Kipu Ranch and Kauai. The beauty you see is jaw dropping! As a parent you always like your kids to learn something away from their electronics - Cousins Dave and Kyle do an exceptional job sharing the history of Kauai and the Kipu Ranch. This was an adventure that my family will always remember and reminisce about for many years. Thank You to all at the Kipu Ranch for the best vacation adventure of our lives.

I watched the fireworks launched every Friday at Hilton from the sea. The atmosphere on the boat was nice, and I enjoyed it. There was a moment when waves splashed onto the boat, causing seawater to get into our drinks, but I consider that part of the experience. The fireworks were beautiful, even from a distance. I think it would have been even more fun if we could have gotten a little closer.

The check-in location before boarding was hard to find.

ヒルトンで毎週金曜日に打ち上げられる花火を海上から観ました。
船上の雰囲気も良く楽しめました。
途中波が船上に押し寄せドリンクに海水が入るハプニングもありましたが、それも思い出かと。
花火は遠くからでしたが、きれいでした
できればもう少し近くまで行ってくれたらもっと楽しかったとも思います

乗船前の受付場所が分かりにくかったです

In the evening, I had a little time, so I spontaneously hopped on a bus to see the sunset. The sunset in Hawaii is very beautiful, and there was a bride taking photos on the beach, which I thought made for a lovely background. The bus stopped near the beach and stayed parked until the sun went down. It was great to be able to go right to the spot without wasting time, making it a meaningful experience.

夕方、少し時間があったので思いつきでサンセットを見るコースのバスに乗り込みました。ハワイのサンセットはとても綺麗で、浜辺て花嫁さんが写真も撮ってましたが素敵な背景だと思いました。浜辺近くでバスが止まり日が沈むまで停車。ピンポイントで観に行けて時間のロスもなく有意義に過ごせて最高でした。

My husband and I really enjoyed our ride down into the valley. We learned a great deal of history from our guide as well as trivia like the fact they used Waipio Valley as the "Dry Land" in the movie Waterworld.
It's a beautiful and magical place.

Great Whale watching trip out of A Bay! The crew was easy going, informative and interesting.

I was deeply moved for the first time in a while by the powerful stage that utilized the space above the audience. The integration of the audience and stage in the production and stage design was impressive.

観客席の頭上も使った大迫力のステージで久々に心の底から感動しました
観客とステージが一帯となる演出や舞台構成が圧巻でした

A little relaxing and adventure. Crew was very friendly and fun. Always felt safe in and out of the water. Meals were good. Would definitely recommend and we would go again!

Fun experience for the whole family. Great crew, fun drinks and good unexpected food.

It started to rain, but thanks to that, I was able to see a double rainbow up close, almost as if I could reach it. It was amazing! I will definitely go again!

雨が降ってきましたが、おかげで掴めそうなくらい近くでダブルレインボーが見られました。
最高でした！
また必ずいきます！

Since there were other people with us, the waiting time and the return to the port felt long. I wish they would limit it to about three groups at most. I also thought it would have been nice to have a pickup to the hotel.

他の人も一緒なので、待つ時間・港にもどるまでが長く感じました
最高でも、3組くらいにして欲しい
ホテル迄の、お迎えもあったら良かったと思いました

This is my second time visiting. I felt safe and enjoyed myself. The staff always knows how to get everyone excited, and the time spent in the air was satisfying enough.

リピで2回目です。
安心安全で楽しめました。
いつもスタッフの方が盛り上げてくださるし、空中でいる時間も満足できる程です。

I chose the LeaLea Trolley for the comparison of East Oahu lines. I also used it for the early morning Black Friday trip to Ala Moana and to the Honolulu Museum of Art. Compared to the bus, it’s easier to understand, but I feel the price is a bit high. I purchased a four-day pass, but since continuous use is a condition, there were some wasted days. There is a free service between Waikiki and Ala Moana, so I think it’s necessary to choose based on the places you want to go. For the Haleiwa area, there are only buses or optional tours, so it would be nice if you could go by trolley.

東オアフラインの内容比較で、LeaLeaトロリーを選びました。
ブラックフライデー早朝のアラモアナ行き、ホノルル美術館行きにも使いました。
バスに比べるとわかりやすいのですが、価格が少し高いと感じます。
４日券購入しましたが、連続使用が条件のため無駄な日が出ました。
ワイキキ～アラモアナ間は、無料サービスがあるので、行きたい場所で選択が必要かと思います。
ハレイワ方面は、バスかオプショナルツアーしかないので、トロリーで行けると良いのですが。

I booked the cheapest ticket, and I thought it couldn't be helped if the view wasn't great, but the venue was small, with a capacity of about 800 people, and I had a great view from above. It was so much fun that an hour and a half flew by. There was circus performance, sand art, and street performances—truly a show that never got boring. I'm really glad I decided to attend.

1番安いチケットを予約　見えにくくても仕方ない　と思っておましたが　会場は800人ほどの収容人数でこじんまりしていて　上から見下ろす感じでとてもよく見えました
楽しすぎて　１時間半があっという間で　サーカスありサンドアートあり　大道芸ありの本当に飽きさせない公演でした　思い切って観覧してよかったです

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time here. The weather was clear, and the ocean was beautiful, so I really enjoyed snorkeling. On the boat, there was also lovely live music, and I was able to spend a very relaxing time. The only downside was that the behavior of the local Japanese staff was harsh, which spoiled my trip. If I go again, I would like to try a different tour.

ハワイは何度か行っていますが，ここには初めて行ってみました。
晴れていたこともあり，とても海が綺麗で，シュノーケリングは堪能しました。
船上では，素敵な生演奏もあり，とてもゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
一つだけ残念なのは，現地の日本人スタッフの言動がきつく，せっかくの旅行が台無しでした。
今度行くとしても別のツアーにしてみたいと思います。

Very friendly captain who found whales and a shark for us

The famous Cirque du Soleil was impressive with a story tracing the history of Hawaii. You can also bring in alcohol, which made it even more enjoyable. It lasts for an hour and a half, but it felt like no time at all. I sat in the front row, but you can enjoy it just as much from the back seats.

有名なシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユをハワイの歴史を辿るストーリーで迫力でした。
アルコールなども持ち込み可能で堪能しました。
時間にして一時間半ですが，あっという間でした。
最前席に座りましたが，後席でも十分堪能できます。

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this is my first visit here. This place is famous as a filming location for Jurassic Park, LOST, and King Kong, and offers events where you can tour the filming sites by ATV, horseback riding, or bus. This time, I tried the ATV. It takes about an hour by bus from Waikiki, and the tour lasted around two hours, which was a lot of fun.

何回かハワイには行っていますが，ここを訪れるのは初めてです。
ここは，ジュラシックパークやLOST，そしてキングコングの撮影場所としても有名なところで，四輪バギーや乗馬，そしてバスなどで撮影場所を巡るイベントです。
今回は四輪バギーを利用してみました。
ワイキキからはバスで小一時間，ツアーは二時間ぐらいでとても楽しかったです。

Capt Stevie and Becca turned a special cruise into something magical. Capt Stevie’s love of the land, the waters, the people, the history, and the culture of Kauai made our sunset cruise a memory for a lifetime. If I’m ever fortunate enough to get back to Kauai, I WILL be rebooking to do the sunset cruise again!

On the day of the event, the weather was clear, and I was able to see the best views of the sunset and the starry sky in my life. The guide was very polite and kind, and spoke to us while mixing in some Japanese. They took even more photos than I expected, making it a fantastic experience.

当日は快晴でサンセットも星空も、人生で最高の景色を見ることができました。ガイドの方もとても丁寧で優しく、多少の日本語を混ぜながらお話ししてくださりました。
写真も思った以上に撮っていただいて最高の経験ができました。

The official website of the USS Missouri Memorial (https://ussmissouri.org/) also sells tickets, but I couldn't purchase them with my Japanese credit card, so I bought them through VELTRA. There are so many highlights that it might be difficult to see everything in one day. I considered other sightseeing tours departing from Honolulu, but I decided to split my visit into two days to take my time.

I purchased tickets for the Captain's Tour and the Chief Engineer's Tour (in Japanese) on the day of my visit, and they showed us places that are normally off-limits, making it a very interesting tour.

After visiting the USS Missouri, watching the movies "Battleship" and "Midway" provided a different perspective.

戦艦ミズーリ記念館の公式サイト(https://ussmissouri.org/）でも販売されていますが、日本のクレジットカードでは購入できなかったため、VELTRAで購入しました。見所がたくさんあるため、1日で回りきるのは難しいかもしれません。他のホノルル発着の観光ツアーも検討しましたが、ゆっくり観られるように2日間に分けて訪れました。

戦艦ミズーリのキャプテンツアーとチーフエンジニアツアー（日本語）は当日受付で購入し参加しましたが、通常では入れない場所を見せてくれるので、大変興味深いツアーでした。

戦艦ミズーリを見学した後に、映画『バトルシップ』と『沈黙の戦艦』を観るとまた違った視点で観ることができました。

First of all, the Beachcomber Hotel is right in the heart of Waikiki, so the access is excellent! The venue doesn't have too many seats, so it seems like the stage is easy to see from any seat. It was quite popular, and the place was almost full on the day of the show. The program featured meticulous production details, and I really enjoyed watching it. Although it is a circus, the content takes into account Hawaiian culture and historical background, making it enjoyable for everyone from adults to children. I think it's a great option for those who aren't interested in a luau show or have already experienced one. The duration is about an hour and a half, making it easy to fit into your schedule. I highly recommend it!

まずワイキキど真ん中のビーチコマーホテル内なのでアクセスが抜群です！
会場は客席が多くないのでどの席からもステージは見やすそうです。人気があるようで、当日はほぼ満席でした。
プログラムは細かいところまでこだわった演出で、本当に楽しんで見ることができました。サーカスではあるのですが、ハワイのカルチャーや歴史的な背景などもかなり考慮されている内容で、大人から子供までみんなが楽しめる内容になっていると思います。ルアウショーには気が向かない方やそれはもう経験済みの方に、新しいショーの選択肢としてはとても良いと思います。時間も一時間半ほどなので予定にも組みやすいです。お勧めします！

We didn't feel any motion sickness, but I think taking motion sickness medication feels like a safety measure. Since it's basically for two people at a time, if you're in a group of more than two, you can take photos together. I definitely recommend the height of 150 meters; the view is breathtaking and makes you feel like you're monopolizing Hawaii, which is amazing. It's easy to grip the rope tightly with both hands out of fear, but crossing your arms in front of you is less tiring.

私たちは一切酔いませんでしたが酔い止めを飲んだ方がお守りみたいではあると思います。基本2人づつなので2人以上のグループであれば写真は撮りあえると思います。高さは１５０ｍが断然おすすめで景色を一望できることははハワイを独り占めしているような錯覚に落ちて最高です。怖くて両手で綱をぐっと握りしめがちですが腕を前に組んだ方が疲れません。

We had the greatest time on Lanai! The tour was fantastic! Josh was gracious and catered to what we were interested in. We felt like a local riding around town with him and are already talking about when we are going to come back!

It may look easy, but it requires quite a bit of physical experience, so as someone in my 50s, I didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the sea. However, my 17-year-old daughter was able to easily find fish and change direction freely towards the end. For those in their 50s, considering the need to brace themselves the whole time, one hour might be enough. If you take a two-hour lesson, I think you'll have plenty of time to take selfies on the water.

簡単そうに見えてまあまあ体感が必要なので50代の私はあまり海を楽しむ余裕はありませんでしたが、17歳の娘は最後の方は余裕で海の魚を見つけたり方向転換も自由にしていました。
50代のひとは終始足を踏ん張ることを考えたら1時間で十分かもしれません。写真は海上で自撮りするのは2時間のレッスンをするなら余裕で撮れると思います。
