All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We saw a bunch of turtles. It was amazing!! Also the crew was so great

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!

We met the bus at 5 AM and we’re first on the walking hike! Got to the top with plenty of time and unbelievable photos to share.

Yoshi was absolutely amazing! From the prompt pick up, the hospitality (tea, snacks) and the amazing knowledge, this is a tour I will always remember. Words can’t express how awesome being at that height and seeing the stars as you stand above the clouds was. Yoshi knew and shared so much and even had coats and gloves for us all as it does get cold at that height. He even showed us how to adjust the settings on our phones to timelapse and take great pictures. 1000% recommend Yoshi and this tour if you want to experience something breathtaking.

the crew was awesome!! if you’re visiting this is 100% something you should do! we saw lots of turtles and the crew even dove down to show us sea urchins and an octopus too! it was such an amazing experience!

Absolutely fabulous!
Dancers were amazing. Musicians and singers . Loved it all!

A two-hour horseback riding experience. After arriving at Kualoa, a Japanese speaker will provide an explanation. The riding will be conducted in English. You can check your luggage, but you can take your smartphone and water bottle with you. Only photos are allowed; videos are not permitted. You need to take photos with one hand. The horses are smart and will move in sync with the horse in front of them. This is an experience you should definitely try when you come to Hawaii.

2時間ほどの乗馬体験。クアロア到着後日本語の方あらご説明していただけます。
乗馬中は英語で行われます。荷物は預けますが、スマホと水筒は持って行けます。
写真のみで動画はダメです。写真は片手でとる必要があります。
馬ちゃんは賢いので前の馬に合わせて動いてくれます。
ハワイに来たらぜひ体験して欲しい。

My two children, an elementary school student and a high school student, said this was the most fun trip they've ever had. You can buy data with an SD card, so it might not be necessary to bring a smartphone. Cash is a must since you'll need to give a tip at the end.

小学生、高校生の子供2人が今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました。
SDカードでデータを買えるのでスマホは持参しなくても良いかも？終了時にチップを渡すのでCASHはマストです。

We are a couple aged 65 and 64. We came to Hawaii for a vacation after retirement. My wife, who has a fear of heights, was reluctant, but we decided to participate as a memorable experience. At first, she was very scared, but as she got used to it, she was able to look down and enjoy the amazing views. The staff was polite and provided good instruction with a sense of humor, and I think the pilot was skilled as well. It was fantastic.

65歳と64歳の夫婦です。
定年退職で有給休暇のためハワイに来ました。高所恐怖症の妻は嫌がったのですが、記念にと思い参加しました。最初は怖い怖いと言っていた妻も慣れると下も見れるようになり最高な景色を眺められました。スタッフも丁寧に教えてくれてユーモアもあり、操縦士の人もうまかったと思います。
最高でした。

We will visit various filming locations, but all while riding in a jeep. They stop briefly to give us time to take photos and videos. We get off once for a short hike of about three minutes to reach a viewpoint! From there, we can overlook two valleys, and the view was absolutely stunning!

ロケ地もちょこちょこっと回りますが、どれもジープに乗車しながらの鑑賞です。写真や動画を撮れるよう、少し停めて時間をくれます。一度下車するのは、3分ほどのハイキングで辿り着ける高台のようなところ！２つの谷を見下ろすことができ、これが絶景でした！

I participated with two friends! I was a bit anxious since I don't drive much, but I was able to drive without any problems! (They show a driving explanation video in Japanese.) The explanation on-site is in English, but the staff were very kind, taking photos for us and really caring about us, who are Japanese and don't speak much English! We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the greenery, the sea seen from the mountains, and the cute animals, making it enjoyable even for those who aren't movie fans!

あまり車を運転しないので不安でしたが問題なく運転できました！（運転の説明は日本語ビデオを見せてくれます）
現地での説明は英語ですが、スタッフの人はとっても親切で写真を撮ってくれたり英語を話せない日本人の私たちのことをすごく気にかけてくださりました！
緑も山から見る海もかわいい動物達も最高の景色を堪能でき、映画ファンじゃなくても楽しめます♪

I participated with two friends! For someone like me who can't surf, it was my first experience riding the waves, and it was amazing! It was fun to be seen and waved at by various people, which was quite unique. I can only speak Japanese, but there were no issues as they gave instructions in simple English! I highly recommend it!

サーフィンできない私にとっては波に乗るという体験が初めてだったので、最高でした！
珍しかったのか色んな人から見られたり、手を振られたりして、それも含め楽しかったです。
日本語しか話せませんが、簡単な英語で指示出ししてくれるので問題ありませんでした！
おすすめです！

I participated with two friends! The staff were kind and funny, and there were various participants, including couples and families, but we all had a great time on the boat♪ The parasailing was of course amazing, and the boat bouncing on the waves was thrilling and fun. I only speak Japanese, but that was not a problem at all!

スタッフの皆さんは優しくそして面白く、カップルの方、家族で参加してる方など様々でしたが、船の上でとても盛り上がりました♪
パラセーリングはもちろん、船が波で跳ねるのもスリリングで楽しかったです。
日本語しか話せませんが問題なしでした！

I am a 60-year-old woman, and I was able to experience this with peace of mind. The Japanese guide, Sanae, kindly gave me advice. Thank you very much.

60才の女性ですが、安心して体験できました。日本人ガイドのさなえさんが優しくアドバイスをくださいました。ありがとうございました。

The sea had been rough due to the swells for the past three days. However, the kayak launch area was in a bay, allowing for smooth boarding and disembarking. The offshore conditions were calm enough to enjoy kayaking. Although we couldn't go far into the spot due to the waves, we were able to feel the power of nature up close. There were plenty of fish while snorkeling.

3日前からのうなりの影響で海は荒れていました。
しかし、カヤック乗り場は湾になっておりスムーズな乗り降りができました。
沖合は落ち着いて？おりカヤックを楽しむことができました。
スポットは波の影響で中まで入ることはできませんでしたが、大自然の力強さを肌で感じることができました。
シュノーケルは魚がたくさんいました。

The Angel Sea was very beautiful. Thanks to the thorough explanation and practice time for snorkeling, I was able to swim to my heart's content during the actual event. Fortunately, a sea turtle that had been resting in a coral cave came out, and I was able to swim with it.

天使の海とても綺麗でした
シュノーケルの丁寧な説明や練習時間のおかげで本番思う存分泳げました
ラッキーなことに珊瑚の洞穴で寝ていた海亀が出てきてくれて一緒に泳ぐこともできました

First-time parasailing
The reason we chose this one among many options is that it departs conveniently right in front of the Hilton Lagoon where we were staying, and we wanted to experience Hawaii by viewing Waikiki Beach, the city, and Diamond Head from the sky.

We were the only Japanese people there, but the explanations mixed with Japanese were well done, so we didn't feel anxious. Contrary to my expectations of being scared of heights or not being able to open my eyes due to strong winds, it was calm up there, and the three of us were able to have a normal conversation at a regular volume.
I was impressed by the beautiful sea of Waikiki and the stunning mountain scenery, which exceeded my expectations. I absolutely hate roller coasters, but I enjoyed every moment of those two hours.

はじめてのパラセーリング
数ある中でこちらを選んだのは、
宿泊のヒルトンのラグーンのすぐ前からの出航で便利なこと、そしてワイキキビーチや街・ダイヤモンドヘッドを空から眺めてハワイを実感したいことが理由です

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、日本語まじりの説明も上手くて不安は感じませんでした
高いところは怖いかなぁ風が強くて目が開けられないかもなどという予想に反して、上空は静かで三人で普通の音量で会話が出来ました
期待以上のワイキキの美しい海と山の美しい景色に感激です　
ジェットコースターなど大嫌いですが、そんな自分も終始楽しさしかなかった2時間でした

Excellent crew. Very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a positive experience. All ages can do this experience. We saw humpback whales on the boat ride to snorkeling and a pod of dolphins joined us in the bay while snorkeling. It was a very fun experience and I would highly recommend it.

I was able to come to the movie filming location that I really wanted to visit with my son. It was my first experience driving a four-wheeler and using a left-hand drive. The size of the mountains and the vastness and blueness of the sky were so impressive, and it really boosted my excitement. The two instructors were very helpful, so we had a great time. I am very grateful.

私がとっても行きたかった映画ロケ地に息子と来れました。四輪バギー運転も左利きハンドルも初体験
間近に見える山の大きさ空の広さに青さ、とってもテンションが上がりました。インストラクターのお二人が丁寧に助けてくださったので、楽しく過ごせました。感謝しております。

I had given up on making a reservation through the official booking site, but then I found this tour and signed up. Since I didn't have a rental car, it was really helpful that they provided transportation to the hotel. The rental equipment was properly arranged, and the driver was a fun person, which was great.

公式予約サイトで予約が取れなかったので諦めていたところ、こちらのツアーを見つけて申し込みました。
レンタカーしていなかったので、ホテルに送迎してもらえて本当に助かりました。
レンタル道具もキチンとあり、ドライバーさんも楽しい方で良かったです。

At first, I struggled with snorkeling, but gradually I got used to it and was able to calmly enjoy the beautiful sea. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and at the end, I even saw a mother whale and her calf from the boat, which was incredibly exciting! The staff were bright and friendly, making the tour a lot of fun! I want to come back after preparing for seasickness!

最初シュノーケリングに苦戦しましたが、徐々に慣れて綺麗な海を落ち着いて見ることが出来ました。
イルカやウミガメを見ることができ、最後に船から鯨の親子も見ることができて大興奮でした！
スタッフの皆さんは明るくフレンドリーで楽しくツアーを満喫できました！
船酔い対策してまた来たいです！

Two children, a high school student and a university student, participated in the experience. I also went to the reception to sign the consent form. When I mentioned that I wouldn't be riding the boat, I was allowed to wait in the nearby tour company's van. The air conditioning wasn't working.

The high school student, who is not fond of roller coasters, said that the boat ride was scarier than parasailing. The university student, who enjoys roller coasters, had a great time. They took motion sickness medication beforehand and reported that they didn't feel sick at all.

I purchased photo data for $40, and they also gave me an SD card.

高校生と大学生の子供２人が体験。同意書サインのため私も受付まで行きました。私はボートにも乗らないと言ったら、近くに置いてある催行会社のバンの中で待たせてもらえました。クーラーは効いてません。
ジェットコースターが苦手な高校生はパラセーリングよりもボートの移動のほうが怖かったそうです。
ジェットコースターが得意な大学生は満喫していました。
酔い止めを服用していき、全く酔わなかったそうです。
40ドルで写真データをかいました。SDカードもくれました。

This tour came highly recommended by a friend, and I can see why! Was our favourite part of our trip to Hawaii, and we hope to visit again soon.

My wife and I had a great time! Our guide Oliver and his assistance were all friendly and helpful. The trip itself was very relaxing and entertaining. We would both recommend this experience.

It was a fun experience! The food was great, desserts are even phenomenal. My favorite was the salad and the roasted pork. The pineapple is so sweet! I enjoyed the Haupia. It reminds me of the version we have back in my home country. The only thing off with the entire experience was I felt we were left out and not asked how we are doing because we were a group of 2. One experience also was when we were going to the theatre for the show. We were following a group to tourist and the lady who was holding the cord closed it when the last tourist came in and followed them. Leaving us wondering where to go. If we are not allowed to go there. I get it they might have paid more for the vip experience but we were left there wondering where to go next. I admit I felt some type of way being left out again. The young girl who took pictures earlier told us where to go. Even after that we have to figure out the way to the mezzanine. I still gave 5 stars because I get it, people paid for vip services but sure hope that they paid attention as well to people who are in a budget. You know being the aloha spirit and all. Overall fun experience!

We arrived at the aquarium parking lot at 7:15, paid for parking (just to be safe, for 5 hours), and headed to the shop at 7:30.
From the parking lot, go down the stairs behind the sign, and the shop is on the right side.
There are various tours available, so we got a bit confused.
We were the only Japanese people there.
It was a large boat, so I didn't get seasick and it was comfortable.
We encountered a lot of whales, but only saw their tails and backs.
However, I would love to go again.

7:15に水族館の駐車場に着き、パーキングでお金を払い(念のため5時間分)、7:30にショップへ
駐車場から案内板の裏の階段を降りて右側がショップです。
色んなツアーがあるので、ちょっと迷いました。
日本人は私達だけでした。
大きな船なので酔うこともなく、快適でした。
鯨には沢山遭遇しましたが、しっぽと背中ぐらいかな。
でも、また乗りたいです。

I drove a buggy for about two and a half hours on various courses such as mountain paths, forest roads, and gravel roads in the North Shore! I had been to the North Shore several times, but I was very satisfied to see scenery I had never seen before! We stopped several times to switch drivers and take photos. The guide took the pictures for us. There were several intense courses that were thrilling and fun! My face and clothes got covered in dust! (laughs) After the buggy ride, there is a water source where you can wash your face! They provide sunglasses at the beginning, but just wearing sunglasses can let dust get into your eyes while driving, so I think it's a good idea to use goggles or something similar for protection. The guide didn't speak Japanese, but he explained everything slowly and kindly, and he was a very nice person! It was a really enjoyable experience! ^_^

ノースショアの山道、林道、砂利道など様々なコースを2時間半程度かけてバギーで走りました！
ノースショアには何度か来ていましたが、見たことのない景色を見ることができて大満足です！途中何度か運転交代や、写真撮影のために停車します。写真はガイドさんが撮ってくださいました。
激しいコースが何度かあり、スリル満点で楽しかったです！
顔や服は砂埃で土まみれになります！笑
バギー終了後に、水道があるのでそこで顔洗えます！
最初にサングラスが配られますが、サングラスだけでは走ってる最中に目に砂埃が入ってきて痛いのでゴーグルなどで対策すると良いと思います。
ガイドさんは日本語話せませんが、ゆっくり丁寧に説明してくださりとても優しい方でした！
とても楽しい体験になりました^_^

This was the second stargazing tour guided by Yamapi in 2023. It seems that visitors to Maui have returned after the Lahaina wildfire in August 2023, as the area near the summit was crowded, but we were able to fully enjoy the great nature and the starry sky in a fantastic location. We also enjoyed donuts and coffee, and I was once again impressed by the kind explanations and support from Mr. Yamauchi, a veteran of the stargazing tour. This is an highly recommended optional tour for anyone traveling to Maui.

2023年に続き2回目やまピーさんガイドの星空ツアー。2023年8月のラハイナ大火の後、
マウイ島を訪ねる人たちも戻ってきたようで
頂上付近は混雑してましたが、絶好のエリアで大自然と星空を満喫できました。ドーナツやコーヒーなども頂いて星空ツアーベテランの山内さんの親切な説明と対応に今回も感服いたしました。マウイ島旅行では超おすすめのオプショナルツアーです。

I only experienced the show, but I'm really glad I went. It was just around sunset, and the terrace seating area was very beautiful and pleasant. The heartfelt performances by all the performers were wonderful, and the content was fulfilling, allowing me to have a truly lovely time. I made several reservations for experiences this time, but I think this was the most meaningful one. I definitely want to visit again.

ショーだけ体験しましたが、
行けて本当によかったと思います。
ちょうど日が沈む頃で、テラス席の会場はとっても綺麗で気持ちが良かったです。
演者の皆さんの心からのパフォーマンスがとっても素敵で、内容も充実していてとっても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
今回いつくか、体験予約しましたが、1番意味のある体験だったとおもいます。
また是非伺いたいです。

The wind felt nice, and the sea was incredibly beautiful, but the main dolphin watching only allowed us to see them small and far away. The canoe group from another tour got much closer to them. I was really looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing. The time spent watching dolphins was short, and most of the time was spent snorkeling, but since we were swimming in deep water, there were hardly any fish, so it felt like there was no need to go on the tour just to swim.

The staff were very cheerful and wonderful, and the final "Harasho" was fun. However, I ordered some products from a Japanese staff member on the bus, but when I realized I hadn’t received them after getting on the boat, I informed them. They told me to wait a bit because it was shooting time, and when it seemed like they weren't in a hurry to get it, they later asked how I would like to pay. I was like, "Well, I already bought it..." The impression I got was that the Japanese staff were kind to those who ordered commemorative photos, but not so much otherwise.

風は気持ち良かったし、海ももっても綺麗でしたが、メインのイルカウォッチングは遠くに小さく見えるだけ、別のツアーのカヌーの方達はとっても近くまで行っていました。
楽しみにして行ったので、少し残念でした。
イルカを見る時間も短く、ほとんどの時間がシュノーケリングでしたが、深いところで泳ぐので、魚もほとんどいなくて、わざわざツアーで泳ぐ必要はなかったなといった感じでした。

スタッフの皆さんはとっても明るくて素敵で、最後のハラショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、バスで日本人スタッフの方に商品を注文したのですが、船にのってから受け取るはずがもらっていないことに途中で気づいて伝えると、撮影時間だということもありちょっと待ってくださいといわれ、急いで撮りに行く気配がないとおもったら、ひと段落ついてからお支払いはどうしますか？と、
いやもう買ってますけど、、となりました。
日本人スタッフの方は、記念撮影を注文した方には親切だけど、、という印象でした
