All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I was lucky to see Cirque du Soleil, which I had wanted to see for a long time, by chance in Hawaii. I was impressed by the amazing performance.

昔から見たかったシルクドソレイユが、偶然 Hawaiiで見れてラッキー、最高のパフォーマンスに感激でした。

I was glad that the staff member was Japanese, which made me feel relaxed. We were able to chat as well. However, I wasn't satisfied because I had to pay an 18% tip on-site, which I didn't expect.

スタッフさんが日本人の方でしたので、リラックスできて良かったです。雑談もできて。ただ、チップが払っていないとのことで、現地で18％払いました。ちょっと納得出来てません。

Since I started going to Hawaii, this must be my seventh or eighth time experiencing the sandbar, and the staff provided excellent safety management and support. I am truly grateful. Thank you very much.

ハワイに行き始めてから、何度目になるでしょうか、サンドバーも７～８回くらい体験しておりますが、スタッフの方々が安全管理等素晴らしい対応をして頂きました。
本当に、感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。

This was my second time ziplining at Kualoa. The last time was about two years ago (there were no Japanese people after COVID), so everything was in English, but this time the reception was handled by a Japanese person.

The jeep ride to the zip base camp was in fast-paced English, so I listened while using Google Translate.

You will walk a bit on mountain paths, so I think sneakers and comfortable clothing are best. Even for someone like me who is not great with heights, it wasn't scary at all.

If you have time, please enjoy a burger at the café. This time, I had only 30 minutes before the return bus, so I gave up, but it's very delicious.

クアロアでのジップラインは2度目。
前回は約2年前でしたので（コロナ後で日本人がいませんでした）すべて英語でしたが、今回は受付は日本の方でした。
ジップのベースキャンプまでのジープは早口英語ですので、Google翻訳しながら聞きました。

山道を多少歩きますので、スニーカーと動きやすい服装が良いと思います。
かなり高所が苦手な私でも怖くないです。

時間があればカフェでバーガーを召し上がりください。今回は帰りのバスまで30分しかなく諦めましたが、とても美味しいです。

I had high expectations for the food at Legends of Hawaii, but there wasn't anything particularly delicious for us Japanese. It was disappointing. Unfortunately, considering the cost and time for the attraction, I don't think I would choose it for my next request.

レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイへの期待感から、料理も期待しておりましたが、我々日本人にはとてもおいしい食べ物は、ありませんでした。期待外れでした。残念ながらアトラクションとしての金額と時間を考えると、次回のリクエストには選べないと思いました。

The summit of Mauna Kea at 4,000 meters is absolutely amazing. Aside from the fact that the oxygen is 40% thinner than at sea level, it’s an incredible experience. This is my second time reaching the summit, and I over-prepared, thinking it would be just as cold as last time. However, I realized there is a significant difference between the January ascent and the September ascent, almost like winter and summer. I was lacking information, but I still had a wonderful experience.

なんと言っても、マウナケアー山頂4000ｍ級の登頂は最高です。酸素が下界より40％も薄いことを除けば、すごい体験です。今回で２回目の登頂になりますが、準備をし過ぎて、寒い寒いことだけが、前回の登頂で、今回も絶対寒いと思い、準備万端に出向きましたが、全回の１月登頂と、今回の９月登頂では、冬と夏ぐらいの違いがあるといううことがわかり、情報不足でした。でも素晴らしい体験ができました。

It's inexpensive, the boat is large and stable, and the staff is not mean. I was told that we wouldn't see any whales in December, but we saw many, and they were very close, clearly showing their bodies and fins, even spouting water—it was truly moving. I think there were about 100 participants, but no Japanese people. Well, the restroom was smelly, but that's unavoidable. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. I've been to Hawaii around 30 times, but this might have been the best experience yet!

お安いし、船も大きくて安定してるし、スタッフも意地悪じゃない。12月は見れないと言われていたクジラもたくさん見れて、何頭もすごく近くで体、ヒレもはっきり、潮まで吹いてくれて感動しかない。100人とか参加してたと思うけど日本人なし。まあ、トイレは臭いけど仕方なし。集合場所は若干わかりにくいかな。ハワイは30回とかは軽く来てるけど、今までで一番よかったかも！

I enjoyed a leisurely ride on horseback, feeling the nature of Hawaii. The ocean is beautiful, but the nature of Kualoa is also stunning.

馬に乗ってのんびりとハワイの自然を感じてきました。
海もきれいですが、クアロアの自然もきれいですよ。

The explanations in Japanese were great, and I had an amazing time!

I would love to participate in this event again when I come to Hawaii!

日本語での説明もあり、最高に楽しめました！

また、ハワイに来た時はここのイベントに参加したいと思いました！

The breeze was pleasant, the sunset was beautiful, and in the end, I got to see the night view, which made me very satisfied! Above all, the Mai Tai was incredibly delicious, and I ended up drinking too much, but there were restrooms available, so it was all good!

風も気持ち良く、サンセットも綺麗、最後には夜景も観れ、大満足です！
なによりマイタイがとても美味しく、ついつい飲みすぎてしまいましたが、トイレもあるので大丈夫！

I can hardly speak English, but both the reception staff and the instructors were very polite and helped me smoothly enjoy the experience. The instructor was great at getting everyone excited, and it turned out to be a very fun day!

英語はほとんど話せませんが、受付の方、インストラクターさん共に丁寧に対応してくださりスムーズに体験までできました。
インストラクターさんは盛り上げ上手でとても楽しい日になりました！

Dan and Cheiko make everyone very safe and comfortable especially for beginners. Easy to follow them and they are nice and patient. If you are the first time snorkeling, highly recommend to take this tour! Worth it!

Driving the buggy was fun, and it was great to visit the filming locations of Jurassic World. The two guides were very good and took a lot of photos for us. Since the dust is quite intense, it's better to wear the glasses they provide for rent.

バギーの運転が楽しく、ジュラシックワールドの撮影現場などに行けてことが良かったです。ガイドの2人がとても良くて写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。
砂埃がすごいのでレンタルしてくれる眼鏡をつけたほうがいいです。

If you have never done snuba you are doing to love it! The tour guides were very informative and made you feel comfortable and safe. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking about snorkeling.

Since it's an electric bicycle, climbing hills is easy. I signed up for a two-hour beginner course, but we won't be riding the entire two hours; there will be breaks and explanations from the guide (in English) along the way.

電動自転車なので、登り坂も楽ちんです。
２時間の初心者コースに申し込みましたが、２時間中走るわけではなく、途中、休憩やガイドさんの説明（英語）があります。

The show was nice and engaging. The singers and dancers are super talented. Would definitely recommend them if you are in Waikiki and looking for a good show time.

Tour bus was easy to find at Hilo airport, driver friendly and very knowledgeable but hard to understand over the speakers. Lunch and water was provided along with a fruit snack. Tour bus on time from site to site and dropped us off at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for an excellent ride with David. We had plenty of time to walk over to the airport terminal for our flight back to Honolulu.

This is my second time visiting Kualoa Ranch. Last time, I participated in a 4WD tour. While it might be fun for the driver, I felt that the passengers didn't have as much excitement. This time, I joined a tour on an E-Mountain Bike, which involved riding electric bicycles. It was a self-guided tour where we explored various locations, including movie filming sites, and the exhilaration of riding through nature was fantastic. Driving was a bit challenging at first, but once I got the hang of it, it became very enjoyable, and I was able to ride comfortably. Next time I come, I would like to try a different attraction.

クアロアランチに行くのは今回で2回目です。前回は４WDを運転して回るツアーに参加しました。これも運転する人は楽しいかもしれませんが、乗ってる人はそんなに感動しない感じがしました。それで、今回参加したツアーがEマウンテンバイクでして、電動自転車に乗って回るツアーです。自分で運転していろんなところを回るツアーでして、映画のロケ地も見て回れて、自然の中をバイクで走るという爽快感が素晴らしかったです。運転も初めは難しかったですが、慣れてきたらとても楽しく、気持ちよく走り切る事が出来ました。また次回来るときは、違うアトラクションに参加したいと思います。

This is such an awesome trip and with the perfect amount of time to still do other things back on the island. The trip to the sandbar and back was its own experience in itself with the donuts, juice and live music. That live music was AMAZING, they are so talented and sing so well. I can’t wait to come back again and bring my kids!

My husband and I had a great time in the tour. We were picked up on time and the guide made the trip to the summit entertaining and we learned many different things about Hawaii during that time.
The sunset at the summit is breathtaking and our guide was prepared to take pictures that he later shared with all of us!
It got cold after the sunset…. so be ready. The hot chocolate while stargazing was a very nice addition!

The staff were very lively and served drinks, creating a great atmosphere. Since it was an all-you-can-drink option, I enjoyed Mai Tais, sparkling wine, and beer while watching the beautiful sunset and Diamond Head, experiencing a sense of the extraordinary as the boat swayed. It was a very luxurious and happy time. I would love to repeat this the next time I go to Hawaii.

店員のお姉さんがとてもノリノリでお酒を配ってくれ、とても盛り上がりました。飲み放題だったのでマイタイやスパークリングワイン、ビールを飲みながら、綺麗な夕日やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて、船に揺られながら非日常を味わうことができました。とても贅沢で幸せな時間でした。次ハワイに行く時もリピートしたいと思います。

It was a VIP show. I had a great time. After it ended, I took photos with the performers of Elvis and Michael Jackson, which became wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

VIP 対応のショーでした。大変楽しかったです。終わってからエルビスやマイケルジャクソンの演者と写真も撮ったりと思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

It spun around in a service, and afterwards, I felt like I was car sick. My relative who went with me said they weren't spun around, so I think it depends on the instructor. It was a good experience.

サービス？でグルグル回転してくれて、
終わったあとに、車酔いみたいになりました。
一緒に行った親戚は回されなかったと言っていたので、インストラクターによるのかなと思います。
良い経験になりました。

When I jumped, the ground felt too far away, and it didn't seem real. So, it wasn't as scary as I had thought. As I got closer, I felt that the scenery was beautiful.

飛び降りる時、地上が遠すぎて、現実味がなかった。なので思っていたよりも怖くなかった。
近づくにつれて景色が綺麗だなと感じました。

Awesome.
Value for money. Worth every penny I paid for. Punctuated my honeymoon ending on a high note.

Driving a four-wheeler while feeling the majestic nature of Hawaii and visiting movie filming locations was great! I love being active, so it was perfect. The staff also took photos for us. My movie-loving partner seemed to really enjoy it.

ハワイの雄大な自然を感じながら四輪バギーの運転をして映画のロケ地を周ります！
アクティブ好きだったので良かったです。
またスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれました。映画好きの彼はかなり楽しめたようです。

I had a wonderful time enjoying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling in a very beautiful sea! The staff were funny and kind. Although I was a bit anxious because he couldn't swim, they helped us with snorkeling, and we were able to see sleeping sea turtles and fish, which was enjoyable. During the SUP experience, the female captain took some photos for us, and I still look back at them fondly. I would love to participate again at a different time!

とても綺麗な海でSUPやシュノーケルを楽しむことができ、本当に素敵な時間でした！
スタッフの方は面白い＆優しく、彼が泳げないので不安でしたがシュノーケルは引っ張っていただくことができ寝ているウミガメや魚をみることができ楽しめたようです。また、SUP体験中は女性キャプテンに写真を撮っていただきましたが、今でも見返すくらいお気に入りです。
また次回、別の時期にも参加したいと思いました！

Had a great day out. Enjoyed the history.
Bus driver was really i formative.

It was supposed to be a maximum of six participants, but there were more than six on the day I attended. Also, it was stated to be two hours, but it was less than that. In the water, it felt like we were in for about 40 minutes.

There is a building for check-in, but there were no staff present at the time, which made it uncomfortable to wait alone in an empty area. (There were some people from a nearby cage tour, which added to the confusion.)

You have to hold onto the rope on the side of the boat at all times. The waves were high, and if you accidentally let go, you would get scolded for safety reasons. While waiting with the rope, one by one, we were called by the guide, and we had to swim from the rope to where the guide was. However, it felt pointless to dive when the sharks were not around during the count. There were sandbar sharks far away, and that day there were hammerheads and blacktips, but no tiger sharks. Since it’s nature, that’s understandable, but honestly, the sharks were farther away than I expected, and the water was a bit murky, so I wished I could see them up close.

When the boat's engine revs, the sharks come up a bit. It was okay to bring a GoPro and take pictures. You can rent fins, snorkels, masks, and rash guards. The guide only speaks English, so it can be tough if you don’t understand.

Also, please note that there is no place to change. The nearby restroom is for women, but there are no private stalls. Around noon, a man (possibly a homeless person?) came out of the women's restroom. There was also a dog that seemed to belong to him, and it smelled quite bad, so I quickly changed on the street in the parking lot.

MAX６名とのことですが、参加した日の回は６名以上いました。
また、２時間と記載がありますが２時間無しです。海の中にはいっているのは体感的に４０分あるかないかくらいでしょうか。
受付は建物がありますが、スタッフは居ない時間帯で誰も居ないところでポツンと待つのは不安でした。（近くのCageありのツアーの方がいたりしてちょっと混乱）
常に船の側面にある紐をつかんでいないといけません。波が高く、煽られてうっかり手が離れてしまったりしたら怒られます。（安全面のため）
紐を持って待って居ると一人ずつガイドに呼ばれたら、紐からガイドがいるところまで泳いで、ガイドのカウントで潜りますが、サメが居ないところでそのカウントで潜らせられても何も…という感じでした。下の遠くの方にサンドバーシャークがわらわら居る感じで、その日はハンマーとブラックチップも居ましたが、タイガーは居ませんでした。自然相手なのでそこは仕方ないですが、思っているより全体的にサメが遠かった＋白濁り気味でしたのでもう少し近くで見たかったというのが本音。
船のエンジンをふかすとサメが少し浮上してきます。
GoPro持っていって撮ることはOKでした。
フィン・シュノーケル・マスク・ラッシュガードは借りれます。
ガイドの方は英語対応になりますので理解出来ないと厳しいです。
また着替える場所がありませんのでご注意ください。
近くのトイレは女性側ですが個室扉がありません。
また昼頃ですが男性（路上生活者でしょうか？）が、女子トイレの中から出てきました。
またその方が飼っていると思われる犬がいて獣臭もすごかったですので、私は駐車場の路上でささっと着替えました。

We participated as a couple.
We've been to Hawaii several times, but this was our first time signing up for this activity.
It was really fun! It was a unique experience that you can only have in Hawaii. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, and the scenery from above was amazing.
There were only two groups, including us, and since the ride was just under 40 minutes, we didn't feel too seasick. If there had been more groups, we might have felt nauseous.
We stayed at a hotel with an ocean view, so even after the experience, we enjoyed seeing from our balcony, "Oh, they're parasailing! That's the one we did!" every time we looked out.

夫婦2人で参加しました。
何回かハワイに行ってますが、初めて申し込みました。
結果とても楽しかったです！ハワイならではの貴重な経験ですね。海側から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、空から見渡す景色は最高でした。
私たち含めて2組のみで、乗船時間も40分弱くらいだったため、そこまで船酔いはありませんでした。組数が多くてもっと乗っていたら酔ったかもしれませんが。
海が正面に見えるホテルに泊まっていたので、ベランダから「あ、パラセーリングしてる！あれ私たちが飛んだやつ！」って終わったあとの日々もなんか見るたびに楽しめましたね。
