All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, and it seemed like such a fun experience that I made a reservation! The guide mostly spoke English, but I was able to watch an explanation video in Japanese before the horseback riding, so I understood most of it!

All the horses were smart, and even beginners could enjoy it safely. The scenery was amazing, and I really feel like I made a great choice in booking this. It became a wonderful memory!

新婚旅行でハワイへ行き、とても楽しそうな体験だなと思い予約しました！
ガイドさんはほとんど英語でしたが、乗馬前の説明動画は日本語での説明を見る事ができたので、大体の事は理解できました！

どのお馬さんもお利口で、初心者でも安全に楽しむ事ができました。景色も最高で、本当に予約してよかったなと思っています。
とても素敵な思い出になりました！

I heard that we would rise to 150 meters above the ground, and I was very scared, but being in the air was very meaningful, and there was no shaking, so I enjoyed it. However, I experienced the worst seasickness ever while on the boat before taking off. I knew that a certain speed was necessary for flying, and I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help. Others were also feeling unwell and had to sit down, so I think once in a lifetime is enough for me.

地上から150mまで上がると聞いてとても怖かったのですが、空中はとても有意義で揺れもなく楽しめました。が、飛ぶまでの船内で過去一船酔いしました。飛ぶのにそれ相応の速度が必要なのは承知しており、私は酔い止めを飲みましたがダメでした。他の方も体調不良でダウンしており、人生で1度乗れば十分かなと思いました。

I decided to join this tour because I wanted to fulfill my long-held dream of visiting Haleakalā Mountain in Maui for my graduation trip. Since it was a small group, I was able to enjoy breathtaking views, eat delicious food, and have many conversations with the other participants, including our guide, Mr. Yama P. It became an unforgettable memory! The scenery, Mr. Yama P's personality, everything was amazing! Thank you very much!!

大学の卒業旅行で、マウイのハレアカラ山に行きたい念願を叶えたくてこのツアーの参加を決めました。
少人数だったこともあり、山Pさん含め他の参加者の方々と絶景を見ながら、美味しいものを食べながら、たくさんお話できたことが、忘れられない思い出になりました！
景色も、山Pさんの人柄も、全部最高でした！ありがとうございました！！

The food is delicious and very filling.

This is my second time, and I really enjoyed the show. I was amazed by the dancing skills, just like Michael! The fire show was also an impressive performance and a lot of fun!

料理もおいしくボリューム満点

もう2回目ですがショーは楽しませてもらえます。マイケルさながらのダンスのうまさにはびっくり！ファイアーショーも驚きのパフォーマンスで楽しいです！

The river boat tour was just ok but the Hawaiian music, hula, dancing and Fern Grotto was amazing !!

We had such a wonderful time. Our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The ONLY complaint we had was the fact that the ATV’s could be a little cleaner other than that, it was a great experience.

It's about an hour, but you can relax by drinking some beverages, eating snacks, and enjoying the sea breeze.

1時間程度の時間ですが、
ドリンクを飲んだり、スナックを食べたり
潮風を浴びたりとゆっくりすることができます

The pickup was smooth, and we were able to watch the video that we would normally see after arriving while still in the car. Depending on the time, there were long lines for individuals to get tickets, but since we were part of a group, we were able to go to the beach smoothly. Overall, there was no wasted time, and we got to enjoy a beautiful beach!

The guide provided explanations in English, and they spoke slowly, making it easy to understand!

送迎もスムーズで、
本来なら着いてから見るビデオを車内で見ることが出来たことや、
時間によっては個人でチケット手配して入るところは長蛇の列でしたが、団体だからかスムーズに海に行くことが出来、
全体的に無駄な時間がなく、素敵な海に行けました！

ガイドさんも英語での説明でしたが、ゆっくり話して下さるので、分かりやすかったです！

On the day of the event, there was a storm, but it seemed they were going to proceed even in heavy rain. Since the kappa costume only covers the upper body, the lower half will get soaked down to your underwear, and your shoes will be drenched. It's better to bring a change of clothes.

当日はストームが来ていましたが、土砂降りの雨でも決行するようでした。河童は上半身だけなので、下は下着までずぶ濡れ靴はぐちょぐちょ着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。

There was a bit of cloudiness, but thanks to the captain and the curly-haired brother, I had a great time! I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time!

少し曇りもありましたがキャプテンとチリチリ頭のお兄さんのおかげでとても楽しむことができました！
次回またハワイにきたら絶対参加したいです！

You can enjoy horseback riding while taking in the stunning views of the beach in Haleiwa. Each horse is well-trained and responds perfectly to commands. The view from atop the horse is fantastic. The instructor was cheerful and always attentive. It was also a nice touch that they provided photos taken during the ride. However, the time for exploring Haleiwa was short, and it was a bit disappointing that we only had enough time to eat.

ハレイワの海辺の絶景を眺めながら乗馬ができます。どの馬も慣れていて、きちんと指示通りに動いてくれます。馬上からの眺めは最高です。インストラクターの方は陽気で常に気をつかってくれました。道中撮った写真を配信してくれるのも嬉しいサービスです。ただ、ハレイワ散策の時間は短く、食事するだけでいっぱいなのはちょっと残念でした。

The wind was stronger than I imagined, but I was kindly lent a down jacket, which made it possible to enjoy the sunset at the summit despite the cold.

Unfortunately, the moonlight was too bright, making it difficult to see the stars, but the view of the stars from Mauna Kea under the clear sky was breathtaking. I want to participate again to see the starry sky!! Mahalo!!

P.S. The BLT sandwich you provided was very delicious. It was the best flavor of this trip.

想像より風が強かったですが、親切にダウンジャケットを貸していただき寒い中でも山頂でのSunset感動しました。

星空はあいにく月の明かりが強く、星光が見えにくかったですが、澄んだ空のもとマウナケアから見える星は圧巻でした。
星空を観るためにまた参加したいと思っています！！　Mahalo！！

P.S.提供いただいたBLTサンドイッチはとても美味しかったです。この旅で1番の味でした。

The biggest advantage is that it specializes in transportation, allowing you to focus on hiking at your own pace without unnecessary sightseeing guides or time constraints. The panoramic view from the summit is breathtaking, but the crowds due to its popularity are unavoidable. By using this shuttle, you can smoothly return to Waikiki after descending in the morning, making it a very practical option for those who want to make effective use of their time.

送迎に特化しているため、余計な観光案内や拘束時間がなく、自分のペースでハイキングに集中できる点が最大のメリットと言えます。
頂上からのパノラマビューは圧巻ですが、人気スポットゆえの混雑は避けられません。このシャトルを利用すれば下山後もスムーズにワイキキへ朝には戻れるため、時間を有効に活用したい方には非常に実用的な選択肢です。

The hospitable guides and Japanese staff provided various support, allowing us to enjoy driving the Raptor, fully experiencing nature, and listening to lectures about Hawaiian traditional culture, myths, and nature. Driving the Raptor is super easy even for women, and it's so much fun!

ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんや日本人スタッフさんたちが色々とサポートしてくれるので、楽しくラプターを運転して、大自然を満喫して、ハワイの伝承文化や神話や自然についてのレクチャーを聞いたりできました。ラプターの運転は女性でも超簡単で、楽しすぎます。

In February, I really wanted to visit Hanauma Bay, so I searched the web and found this transportation plan from VELTRA. It was cheaper compared to other sites and had good reviews, so I booked it right away. The reservation form was easy to understand, and they sent plenty of reminder emails after the booking, which was very helpful.

I wished for sunny weather the whole time, and finally, the day arrived! I was picked up at 8 AM in the alley behind the Hyatt. The bus arrived a little late, possibly due to traffic, which made me a bit worried, but the large green bus with "Roberts Hawaii" written on it was easy to spot, so I felt reassured. Inside the bus, we watched a 10-minute video, and we were given wristbands for entry to Hanauma Bay after confirming our viewing.

The bus driver continuously explained the scenery around us, so I was never bored; it was fun! We arrived at Hanauma Bay in just over 30 minutes. Those who booked directly through the official site had to wait in a long line for entry, but since we had already watched the video, we could skip the line! We entered without any stress.

Hanauma Bay was as beautiful and blue as I had seen in photos, with a lot of colorful fish swimming around; it felt like paradise! The number of visitors is limited to 1,400, so it wasn't crowded at all.

It was amazing. I definitely want to book through this site again!

2月ハワイ、どうしてもハナウマ湾に行ってみたいと思いWebを検索していたところ
こちらのVELTRAさんの送迎付きプランを見つけました。
ほかのサイトと比べても安く、評価も良かったため即予約。
予約フォームも分かりやすく、予約後もたくさんメールでリマインドを送って下さり助かりました。

ずーっと晴れを願いに願ってついに当日！
朝は8時にHyatt裏路地でピックアップ。
道路渋滞のせいか、バスが少し遅れて到着したので若干心配でしたが、「Roberts Hawaii」と書かれた大きな緑のバスがわかりやすくやってくるので安心。
バスの中で10分程度のビデオを観て、視聴認証のリストバンドを渡されハナウマベイに入場する仕組みです。
バスの運転手さんが周りの景色についてずーーっと説明してくれるからまったく飽きず、楽しい！！
30分強程度でハナウマベイに到着。
ハナウマベイを公式から予約した方々は入場のための長蛇の列に並ばなければいけないようでしたが、私たちはビデオも視聴済なのでそのまま列をスルー！
ストレスなしで入場できます。

ハナウマベイは写真で見た通りとーっても綺麗で真っ青で、色とりどりの魚も沢山泳いでおりまるで楽園でした！！
入場人数が1400人と限られているので混雑もなし。

最高でした。
またぜひこちらのサイトから予約したいです！

The tour time was neither too busy nor too leisurely; it was a good amount of time. The view from Diamond Head was very beautiful, and it was a great experience to participate.

ツアーの時間は忙しくもなく時間を持て余すわけでもない、いい時間でした。ダイアモンドヘッドからの景色はとても綺麗で参加していい体験でした。

I participated in the earliest time slot experience. On the way to Diamond Head in the shuttle, I saw many people running. Mornings in Hawaii start early! Whether you can see the sunrise or not, I highly recommend this experience for morning activities! The shuttle takes you to the ticket office, so it requires less stamina than climbing from the bottom. I did this experience on my first morning in Hawaii and established a rhythm for waking up early.

1番早い時間帯の体験に参加しました。
送迎車でダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう途中、ランニングしている人もたくさん見ます。ハワイの朝は早い！
日の出が見れても見れなくても、朝活にぜひおすすめの体験です！券売所まで送迎してくれるので、下から登るより体力は要りません。ハワイ初めての朝にこの体験をし、早起きのリズムをつくりました。

A mother and baby whale appeared. Although we didn't see them jump, we were able to see the mother's impressive tail fin, the cute baby's back, and their spouts.

親子の鯨が出てくれました。ジャンプは見られませんでしたが母親の立派な尾ヒレと、可愛いベビーの背中、潮吹きが見られました。

The experience of seeing the sunset from above the clouds was truly moving, as it's not something you get to do often. The mountaintop was very cold, but it was definitely worth it.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and it was great to see an artificial satellite for the first time. I was able to have an experience that I wouldn't have been able to have on my own, as they explained things using a laser pointer in both English and Japanese. It seems that the beauty of the starry sky is influenced not only by the weather but also by the moon, so if you can choose a date, going on a new moon day will make it look even more beautiful!

サンセットを雲の上から見れる経験はなかなかないので、とても感動的でした。山頂は寒すぎましたが、行った甲斐が本当にありました。

星空はとても綺麗で、人工衛星が見れたのは初めてで良かったです。レーザーポインターを使って英語と日本語で説明してもらって、個人で行くのではできない経験ができました。星空の綺麗さは、天候だけでなく、月の影響があるみたいなので、日付を選べるのであれば新月の日に行くとより綺麗に見えるみたいです！

It's cold due to the wind and water, so make sure to bring extra towels and warm clothing like a hoodie. The boat will sway in the rough northern waves until you reach the spot, which is fun like a roller coaster, but… I did feel a bit seasick.

There are a lot of sharks in front of the cage, so you can see them from above. From inside the cage… it's a bit underwhelming. You can see them if you try hard enough, but it might not be suitable for girls or children.

You get tossed around by the waves and the cage, so it’s cold and painful. I think it’s fun, though!

風、水で寒いので、タオル多め、パーカーなど防寒着は必ず。
スポットに着くまでに船がノースの荒波に揺られるので、ジェットコースターみたいに楽しいけれど…やはり半分は酔ってました。
ケージの前にサメがたくさんいるので上から見れます。
ケージの中からは…微妙。
頑張れば見れるけど、女の子、子供とかは不向きかも。
波とケージに体をぶつけられるので、寒い、痛い。
楽しいのは楽しいと思う。

There were places that were difficult to reach by bus, but it was very fulfilling as we were able to efficiently visit them while listening to the guide's explanations.

バスなどでは行きにくい場所も、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら効率よくまわってもらえるのでとても充実していました。

The crew was a kind and handsome pair of brothers. The boat was fast, and there were several thrilling moments that made my stomach drop. Parasailing was simply delightful! Once the harness was secured, we floated up, and my daughter exclaimed, "It feels just like Soarin'!" It truly was an extravagantly real Soarin' experience.

Before taking off, they checked if it was okay to get wet in the sea, and after I answered "OK," we were splashed down to our waists twice in a grand manner. The landing was also soft and well-executed.

After disembarking, you can decide whether to purchase the photos after checking the images on a PC. They also transferred the data directly to our smartphones and provided an SD card as well.

クルーは親切なイケメン兄弟でした。
船は速くて、胃が浮くようなスリリングな揺れが何度か。
パラセーリングは、ただただ気持ちよかったです！ハーネスをつなぐとスーッと浮き上がって、娘が、ソアリンみたいー！と叫んでいて、確かに贅沢すぎるリアルソアリンでした。
飛ぶ前に海に浸かって大丈夫か確認があり、OKと答えたら、豪快に２回腰まで浸かりました。着地もフワッと上手でした。
写真は下船後、PCで画像を確認してから購入するか決められます。データはその場でスマホに落として、SDカードでも渡してくれました。

I have been to Oahu many times, but I had never taken a tour around the island, so I joined this one-day tour!

A man named Jonah guided us in Japanese, which made it very easy to understand and enjoyable.

What I was most satisfied with was being able to visit various famous spots! We used our time effectively, and Jonah explained the recommended attractions and highlights at each stop, so even in a short time, I was able to learn a lot and it was very fulfilling♡

The tour felt more like sightseeing rather than activities, so I think even older people can enjoy it!

We also went to the mountains, so the weather was a mix of rain and sunshine, but it didn’t affect our enjoyment at all.

I highly recommend this tour!♡

オアフ島に何度も行ったことがありますが
周遊したことが無かったので、
1日で周れるこちらのツアーに参加！

ジョナさんという男性が
日本語で案内してくれたので
とっても分かりやすく楽しかったです。

何より色んな名所に行けたのが
凄く満足でした！！
時間も有効的に使え、
寄った観光地のおすすめや
見どころなど毎回説明してくださったので
短い時間の中でも色々知ることができ
とても充実してました♡

アクティビティより観光地巡りという
感じなので、年配の方でも楽しめると
思います！

山の方も行くので天候は雨が降ったり
止んだりでしたが、関係なく楽しめます。

とってもおすすめなツアーです♡！

The weather on the day wasn't very good, and I went to the summit with a hopeful heart, but I was able to see the sunset sinking fantastically amidst the snowy landscape. The guide searched for a spot where we could see the stars, and even with many clouds, we were able to see a lot of constellations. It was really great that the guide worked so hard. Thank you very much.

当日は天気があまり良くなく、祈る気持ちで山頂に行きましたが、雪景色の中、夕日が幻想的に沈んでいくのを見ることができました。
星が見えるスポットをガイドさんが探して下さり、雲が多い中でもたくさんの星座を見る事ができました。
ガイドさんが一生懸命に頑張ってくださったのがとても良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in whale watching for the first time. Searching for whales while enjoying the beautiful sea from a stable, clean boat was quite interesting. I was able to see the tails of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles, and I was particularly happy to see two whale tails side by side. The staff mentioned that during whale watching, it's more about catching a glimpse of the whale's back when it jumps rather than seeing the entire whale, which I had assumed would be the case. I thought the operating company was very sincere and a wonderful organization.

ホエールウォッチングにはじめて参加してみました。
揺れの少ない綺麗なボートで、綺麗な海を眺めながらのクジラ探しはなかなか面白かったです。
見れたのはクジラの尾ひれ、イルカ、海亀で、クジラの尾ひれが二頭並んで見れたのが嬉しかったです。
ホエールウォッチングは、クジラ全体が見えると言うよりは、運が良ければジャンプしたときにクジラの背などが見えるという感じだとスタッフの方が言っていました（クジラ全体が見えると思い込んでいました。
運営会社はとても誠実で素晴らしい会社だと思いました。

My first time in Hawaii, I was worried about the wind and waves, constantly checking the weather forecast. There were some waves, and I got wet up to my knees when boarding, but once we set sail, the ride was smooth, and I experienced a wonderful sunset. I was able to see the whales spouting and their tails, and the unlimited Mai Tais made it all a great memory.

初めてのハワイ、風や波の心配があり、天気予報と睨めっこ。少々波はあり、乗船時に膝上まで濡れましたが、出港してからは揺れが少なく、素晴らしいサンセットを体験。クジラの潮吹き、尾まで見ることができたこと、飲み放題マイタイ、全てが良い思い出です。

If you're looking to enjoy snorkeling in Hawaii, I recommend this sea! The weather was cloudy, so I couldn't see the true blue of the ocean, but there were plenty of fish swimming around, which was a lot of fun. There is a dedicated shuttle car from the high point down to the beach, making it very convenient, although it might take some time to board if it's crowded. The beach in front of the hotel was also beautiful, but there weren't any fish swimming there, so I think it's worth coming here!

I don't speak much English, but I think it's fine to join an English tour if you use a translation app! Also, it might have just been a coincidence, but there were people on-site who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring! Next time, I want to participate when the weather is nice!

ハワイでシュノーケルを楽しむならこの海をおすすめします！
天気が曇りで本来の海の青さを見ることができませんでしたが、海の中はお魚がいっぱいで泳いでて楽しかったです。
高台から下のビーチまでは専用の移動カーがあり、とても楽でしたが、混雑していると乗るまで時間がかかるかもしれません。
ホテル前のビーチも綺麗で良かったですが、魚は1匹も泳いでいなかったので、ここに来る価値はあるかと思います！

英語はほとんど話せませんが、翻訳アプリを使えば英語ツアーでも大丈夫だと思います！
また、たまたまかもしれないですが、日本語が通じる方も現地におりましたので、心強かったです！今度は天気のいい時に参加したいです！

Friendly staff, great time!!

At first, I was worried about whether we would be able to enjoy stargazing due to the cloudy sky, but as the second half of the tour progressed, the clouds cleared up, and I was thrilled to be able to see the sunset, the Subaru Telescope surrounded by a sea of clouds, and the starry sky. The guide was also very attentive, providing explanations about the stars and the itinerary in Japanese, which made the experience comfortable! I definitely think this is a tour I would highly recommend to everyone!

当初は曇り空で星空鑑賞ができるか不安でしたが、後半から晴れ間が出てきて、日の入りや雲海に広がるすばる望遠鏡、星空を鑑賞できて感激でした。ガイドさんも丁寧に日本語で星空や行程を案内していただいて快適でした！皆さんに是非おすすめしたいツアーだと思います！

Tour driver was so kind and even born in that valley! He had so much great info and was so careful driving us
