All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I could see it well from a distance. The weather was nice, and I appreciated that they were considerate even though I couldn't speak much English.

遠くからだったけど、よく見えました。天気も良く、色々英語が話せないことでも、気を使ってくれて良かったです

Everything was perfect! The boat is virtually brand new and is spotless! The crew was amazingly friendly and competent. We were traveling with 3 generations of our family, ranging from 3 to 72 and everyone raved about how this was one of the best adventures any of us had ever experienced! You will not regret booking an adventure on the Spirit of Aloha!!!

The tour is not good at all and I did not see fish and other sea animals

I have wanted to ride horses for many years, and I was able to fulfill that dream at Kualoa Ranch. Some people say it can be tough on the back and knees, but my 46-year-old self and my high school daughter found it enjoyable and not too strenuous. However, even though it was February, Hawaii is still hot, so long sleeves (for sun protection) are a must.

Depending on the experience time, there can be a significant wait for the bus on the way to and from the ranch, so it's best to be prepared for that.

長年乗馬をしたいと思っていて、クアロアランチで叶えることが出来ました。
人によっては腰や膝にくる、と言いますが46才の私と高校生の娘はさほどキツくもなく楽しく乗れました。
ただ、2月でしたがやはりハワイは暑く長袖(日焼け対策)は必須です。

体験時間によっては行き帰りのバスの時間に相当な待ちが生じるのでそこは覚悟していた方がいいです。

I was looking for a tour to stop by the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout since I didn't rent a car. Our guide Marlon provided a wealth of information about Hawaii, and we were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots across Oahu, which made me very satisfied. Since it was an English-only tour, there were no other Japanese participants, and I felt a bit anxious as it was my first time in Hawaii. However, Marlon spoke English that was easy for Japanese speakers to understand and was fluent in Japanese as well, so having Marlon as a guide is the best for Japanese visitors! The malasadas were delicious, and both the bus and restroom were clean, and the driving was excellent.

レンタカーを借りなかったのでヌウアヌ・パリ展望台へ立ち寄るツアーを探していました。ガイドのMarlonはハワイに関する豊富な情報を提供してくれて、オアフ島全域の観光スポットを効率良く回ることができ、とても満足しました。英語のみのツアーだったので他に日本人はおらず、初めてのハワイで不安でした。しかし、Marlonは日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語を話してくれて、日本語も流暢なので、日本人はガイドがMarlonだと最高です！マラサダもおいしく、バスもトイレも綺麗で、運転も上手でした。

Sale was our tour guide and he did an amazing job. He knew all the great spots and was very knowledgeable. This tour let us see all the top spots on the road to Hana. Great tour!

A friend who experienced it with me was not good with heights, but they said they were completely fine and glad they participated. I wanted to stay longer because the views were beyond my expectations. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem.

一緒に体験した友人が高いところが苦手でしたが全く大丈夫で参加して良かったと言ってました。私は予想以上の景色でもっといたいと思うほど。スタッフは日本語は通じませんが問題なしです。

Chelse was awesome and Brian. We had a blast. My 85-year-old mom even participated and had a great time. Defiantly find time to do this adventure.

The poolside terrace has a relaxed open space feel, with a pleasant breeze, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. After the salad, the main dish is served, and you can choose from three options. One friend and I chose the loco moco, while another friend opted for the seafood tacos, and both were quite filling! The loco moco had two hamburger patties stacked, and the tacos were packed with plenty of vegetables and fish fillets, making them very satisfying. The dessert ice cream was also delicious. For drinks, you can choose between iced or hot coffee and tea, as well as draft beer, which is great for those who enjoy alcohol. We had a delicious and enjoyable meal.

オープンスペースでラフな感じのプールサイドのテラスなので、風も心地よく、寛いで食事が出来ます。サラダの後にメインデッシュが出ますが、3つの中から選べるので、私と友人一人はロコモコを、もう一人の友人はシーフードタコスを選びましたが、どちらもボリュームたっぷり！ロコモコはハンバーグが2枚重なっており、タコスは野菜たっぷりに魚の切り身が挟んであり、いずれも食べ応えがありました。デザートのアイスクリームも美味しかったです。ドリンクもコーヒー、紅茶はアイスかホット、またドラフトビールも選べるので、アルコール好きには嬉しい限りです。
美味しく楽しく頂きました。

The venue is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, conveniently situated in the heart of Honolulu. Upon checking in, I was greeted with a lei service. First, there was a meal time, which included a Mai Tai cocktail and one drink of your choice. The meal was served buffet-style in order after being guided to our seats. During the meal, there was hula dancing, but I could only see the dancers from behind. I wanted to have dessert, but before I knew it, a ukulele performance started nearby (though it wasn't very good), and there was a request for a $10 tip. It was unfortunate that the meal time ended so hurriedly.

However, after moving to the second half of the showtime venue, the VIP treatment made me feel fantastic! I had a central seat right in front of the stage. The beautiful dancers performed hula, and the host and singer resembled Rumiko Koyanagi. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were so convincing that it felt like I was watching the real stars. I had a great time right in front of the stage. After leaving the venue, I even took photos with Michael and Elvis, creating wonderful memories.

The collaboration of rock and hula dancing was the best! This is a show I highly recommend if you come to Hawaii!

会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあり、ホノルル街の中央で便利な場所。受付をすると早速、レイのサービス。最初に食事の時間があり、マイタイカクテル＆好きなドリンク1杯がついていました。食事は案内されてから順番にバイキング形式。食事中はフラダンスをしていたが席からは後ろ姿しか見えなかった。デザートも食べたかったが、いつのまにか脇でウクレレ演奏が始まり(余り上手ではなかったのに）チップ10💲の催促。最後は食時間があわただしく終わってしまったのが残念。
が、食事タイム移動後、後半のショータイム会場のVIP 対応に気分は最高！ステージ目の前中央の席。美しいダンサー達のフラダンスや小柳ルミ子似の司会＆歌手。エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンもまるで本人達のショーかと思うほど演技と迫力。また目の前でとても楽しませてもらいました。会場を出てからマイケルやエルビスと写真も撮ったりと思い出になりました。
ロックとフラダンスのコラボレーション。最高でした！ハワイに来たらお勧めのショーです♪

The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.

送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…

What a great experience and wonderful adventure. My grandson who has autism was on FaceTime when we stopped and was so happy to get to experience some of this trip.

Sunset sailing was my first experience, but thanks to the lively and very friendly crew, I had a wonderful time. The person at the front can get splashed with water due to the waves, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

サンセットセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、ノリがよくとても親切なクルーの方のお陰で素晴らしい時間が過ごせました。
先頭の人は水しぶきがかかるくらい揺れたりするので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。

It was amazing to finally see the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea! I was a bit worried that it might be cloudy, but beyond the clouds, there was an incredible view! I'm grateful to the guide who was very kind.

念願だったマウナケアで、サンセットと星空を見ることができて最高でした！！
途中、曇っているかも？と少し心配しましたが、雲を抜けた先に感動的な景色がありました！
とても親切にしてくださったガイドさんに感謝です。

Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri were a bucket list trip.
Great historical information

Great tour! But I think a lot of it had to do with Josh! He honestly made it so fun, going into great detail about the island, stories about how he grew up and things his grandpa would tell him! He always made sure we were happy with what we were doing and where we were going! We saw so much and learned so much! Yay Josh! Lanai truly felt like a small cute community with lots of character and history!

They have different level and am the total beginner.

Can park at zoo entrance - walking distance if have a car.

The instructor is very patient and it's family friendly.

My first booking was cancelled at very last minute. The captain only told me when I got to the pier - 2hours round trips was wasted for nothing without early notice.

I booked second one which was rescheduled twice, eventually it made through and my daughter loves it.

The water is bit cold in the first place but bearable and we stayed in water for 40mins or longer as we were the last group.

On the way back, we saw the whales - what a bonus!!

They took us quite far out, and we were able to see whales. It was a wonderful experience. I've also been on a sunset cruise, but the morning cruise was better.

かなり沖まで行ってくれて、クジラを見ることが出来ました
素晴らしい体験でした
サンセットで乗船したこともありますが、午前のクルーズの方が、良かったです

The Captain and Crew were amazing and informative. It was such a Great Time. Would so go Again!! A Perfect Evening for it.

On the way to the manta snorkeling point, while riding the boat and enjoying the beautiful sunset, we were able to see two whales and many sharks. I heard that sharks can only be seen about twice a year.

During snorkeling, the large mantas came so close that it felt like they were almost going to bump into us, which was very impressive!

The staff were all very kind, and having a Japanese guide on board made us feel secure. After the tour, they even sent us the videos taken with the GoPro for free. I highly recommend this tour!

マンタのシュノーケリングポイントに行く途中、美しい夕焼けを見ながら船に乗っていると、二匹のクジラ、そしてたくさんのサメを見ることができまさした。
サメは年に2回ほどしか見ることができないそうです。
シュノーケリングでは大きなマンタが何枚もぶつかりそうになるほど近い距離まで来てくれて、とても迫力がありました！

スタッフの皆さまもとても親切で、日本人ガイドさんも乗船して下さったので安心でした。
終了後にGoProで撮影した動画も無料で送って下さいました。
本当におすすめのツアーです！

It was a slightly chilly time (February) at the sandbar where I was waist-deep in water, but during about 30 minutes of snorkeling, I encountered 8 to 9 sea turtles. They were right in front of me! It was amazing.

腰まで浸かるサンドバーで少し肌寒い時期(2月)でしたが、30分くらいのシュノーケリングで海カメ8〜9匹に遭遇。ホント目の前に！最高でした。

Great experience and insight into Waipi'o. I have hiked it many times but never went back into the valley--well worth it, especially given the circumstances. I am glad our driver has had an authentic experience with the valley; that made a big difference.

Due to the high waves that started midway, there was no snack distribution. I had planned to go get a drink when the snacks were handed out, so I couldn't go. When I stopped by the bar counter upon disembarking, there were no staff present, and there were only a few snacks in a basket that people who noticed helped themselves to. The drinks were just a display of cans... If the distribution was canceled due to the high waves, I would have appreciated it if someone had been at the bar counter during disembarkation to hand them out. In the end, I wasn't able to receive the limited-time drink benefit. I noticed that some people didn't tip at all, so I wondered if that might have affected the service. Although I didn't see any whales, I had a great time seeing a lot of dolphins, which made the lack of service feel like a missed opportunity.

途中から波が高くなったせいかスナックの配布がなかった。スナック配布されたらドリンクを取りに行くつもりにしていたので行けず。下船時にバーカウンターに寄りましたが、スタッフ不在、スナックが少しだけカゴに入って置いていたので気づいた人が自ら取っていました。
ドリンクは缶の見本が並べてあっただけ…。高波で配布を見送ったのなら、下船時にバーカウンターにいて頂いて、お渡しして欲しかったです。結局期間限定特典のドリンクは受け取れずじまいでした。
チップを全く入れてない人もいたので、こういうことも影響しているのではないかと思いました。
クジラは見れませんでしたがイルカがたくさん見れて楽しかっただけに、サービスがもったいなく感じました。

I had a seat quite far forward in the Golden Circle, and it was much closer to the stage than I had imagined, which was fantastic. Because I was so close to the stage, I was able to focus on the show, and there were many entertaining performances that made me laugh out loud several times. Additionally, in the relaxed atmosphere unique to Hawaii, I felt a sense of unity in the venue. It truly became a wonderful experience! Thank you very much!

ゴールデンサークルシートの結構前の方の席だったのですが、想像していたより舞台と近くて、すごく良かったです。
舞台との距離が近かった分、集中してショーを観ることができましたし、お客様を楽しませる演出などもたくさん盛り込まれていて、声をあげて笑ってしまったシーンがいくつもありました。
また、ハワイならではのリラックスした雰囲気の中で、会場の一体感を感じました。
本当に素敵な経験になりました！ありがとうございました！

If you speak Japanese well, you can call for assistance at any time upon arrival. I was reassured to hear that even during the activities, the staff would respond in Japanese if requested.

The instructor who arrived was able to incorporate some basic Japanese, which made the experience enjoyable.

The scenery was amazing! At one point where we could see the ocean, we were lucky enough to spot whale spray! Although we didn't see the whale itself, it's not something you encounter often. It was a lucky moment!

I had a great time. The horses were very well-behaved, and I had no worries at all.

　日本語バッチリの方が、到着時に何かあったらいつでも呼んでください。とあり、アクティビティ途中でも、係の方に頼めば直ぐに日本語での対応してくれると言うことでしたので、まず安心できました。
　着いてくれたインストラクターの方も片言の日本語を盛り込みながら楽しむことが出来ました。
景色は最高！途中で海が見えるところでは、運良くクジラのしぶきを確認！クジラは見えなかったけれど、そんなにあることじゃないよ。ラッキーです！と
とても楽しめました。馬もとてもお利口さんで全く心配ありませんでした。

It was a perfect skydiving experience on a clear day. This time, I requested the photo and video option, so I was able to share the excitement with my family, making it the best activity.

快晴で最高のスカイダイビングでした。
今回、写真ビデオのオプションをお願いしましたので、家族とも臨場感を共有できて最高のアクティビティでした。

The pick-up, reception, explanation, and execution were all smooth and helpful! There are also people who speak Japanese, so Japanese visitors can feel at ease! The divers were friendly, and I was very satisfied!

送迎から受付から説明から実施までスムーズで助かりました！日本語を話せる方もいるので日本人も安心！ダイバーさんも気さくで大満足！

This is my first visit since elementary school. After learning about the nostalgia and history, the tour is a completely different experience. You can also visit the surrender deck, and although the signing documents are replicas, you can see them. This is the only place where you can meet heroes who participated in the Gulf War. Don't worry about your wife or girlfriend's expressions; just keep moving forward. Make sure to make a reservation.

小学生以来の訪問。懐かしさと歴史を一通り学んだ後の、見学では一味も二味も違う。
サレンダーデッキも見学でき、調印文章も複製ではあるが、みることができる。湾岸戦争まで参加している英雄に会うことができるのはここしかない。奥さんや彼女の顔色を伺ってはいけない、ひたすら前進あるのみ。予約するべし

There were about 50 people in the audience for the second stage we attended. Many were couples and families with small children, and there were six of us from Japan in our group. Basically, the show proceeded in English until the explanation before the performance, but during the magic acts, explanations were also provided in Japanese, so even with our middle school-level English vocabulary, we were able to enjoy it thoroughly.

The magician, Shoot (Japanese), said that as a child, he admired Captain Tsubasa and practiced soccer by the river, but before he knew it, he was looking for stones to practice magic.

The show was wonderful and has become one of our cherished memories of Hawaii!

私たちが参加したセカンドステージの観客は50人くらい。カップルや小さなお子さんを連れた家族連れが多く、日本人は私達のグループの6名でした。基本的にショーの前説明までは英語で進みますが、マジック中は日本語で説明も付け加えてもらえるので、中学生レベルの英単語力しか無い私達でも十分に楽しめました。

マジシャンのシュートさん(日本人)は、子供の頃はキャプテン翼に憧れて河原でサッカーの練習していたけど、気づけばマジックの練習に使う石ころを探していたそうです。

ショーも素晴らしく、ハワイの思い出の一つに残りました！
