All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

My husband has a bit of a fear of heights, so I was worried about the 150 meters, but we were able to fly safely.

It was so much fun!

主人が高所恐怖症気味なので
150mは心配でしたが、
無事飛ぶことが出来ました。

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。

The crew takes outstanding care to ensure a great experience. We were so lucky to have no wind and calm waters and see a mama, a baby, and an escort whale, plus one other solo whale. A great day!

I’ve done this trip several times over the years and it never disappoints. The crew is outstanding, fun, professional, attentive, and really makes sure everyone has a great time and does everything possible for an excellent whale watching experience.

I was quite satisfied as the tour lasted about two hours. I got to see stunning views and enjoyed visiting movie filming locations. The only downside was that the person at the reception didn't come to pick us up at the hotel, so it took a while to board the bus.

２時間位で回るのでかなり満足します。
絶景も見れるし、映画のロケ地もみれて楽しかったです。
残念だった事は、ホテルへのお迎えの時に受付の人が来なくてバスになかなか乗車出来なかったのが残念でした。

A great time zooming down the zip lines. The first one was a bit of a leap of faith but afterwards it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend an adventure zip lining. And our guides were fun and entertaining.

Surrounded by forests, I was able to experience things that I normally wouldn't. I also got to hear local people's songs, which allowed me to feel the essence of Hawaii.

森林に囲まれ、普段経験できない体験ができました。
現地の方々の歌なども聞くことができ、ハワイを感じることが出来ました。

This was a Great ride. I haven't been on a horse in years so it was an easy ride. The woman leading our " private ride" was very personable and of course experienced.
I would recommend this for others
Great views too.

It was a very enjoyable cruise. Rather than just leisurely watching the sunset, there was lively music playing, creating a party-like atmosphere that was a lot of fun. Despite being an all-you-can-drink option, the variety of alcoholic beverages was also great.

とても楽しいクルーズでした。
サンセットをのんびりみるというよりかは、音楽がガンガンに流れていてノリノリな感じでパーティーのような雰囲気でとても楽しかったです。
飲み放題にも関わらず、お酒の種類も豊富で良かったです。

It was unfortunately a cloudy day, but thanks to the cheerful crew, my spirits were lifted. Even with my limited English, they understood me and responded kindly. The sea was cold, but it was beautiful and became an unforgettable memory.

あいにくの曇り空でしたが、陽気なクルーのおかげでテンションがあがりました。私のつたない英語でも、理解してくれて、優しく対応してもらいました。
海は冷たかったけど、美しくて忘れられない思い出になりました。、

It was great to be able to enter smoothly right after it opened! Since it was December, there were times when the sun was hidden by clouds and it was a bit chilly right after coming out of the water, but I was able to enjoy seeing plenty of fish. The amount of time spent at Hanauma Bay was just right.

オープンしてすぐのタイミングでスムーズに入ることができとても良かったです！
12月ということで、太陽が雲に隠れているタイミングや海から出た直後は少し肌寒かったのですが、魚もいっぱい見ることが満喫できました。ハナウマ湾の滞在時間もちょうど良かったです。

Before boarding, I thought the cost of USD 80 per person was a bit high, but it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying experience. The night view of Waikiki from the boat, the Hilton fireworks, and the starry sky were all amazing. The boat rotates so that you can enjoy the view from either side.

I wore a light shirt over my swimsuit, but it got a bit cold towards the end. A fellow passenger sitting next to me offered me a bath towel to cover up. Overall, the atmosphere, including the crew, was very pleasant.

乗る前は費用が1人USD80だったので少し高いかなと思いましたが、大満足の体験でした。船上からみるワイキキの夜景、ヒルトンの花火、星空は最高でした。左右どちらに座っても楽しめるように旋回してくれます。
薄手のシャツを水着に羽織って行きましたが、後半寒かったです。隣に座っていた他のお客さんがバスタオルをかけてくれました。クルー含め全体的に雰囲気がとても良かったです。

In the heart of Waikiki, an impressive performance in a theater space that can accommodate about 800 people. I think you can enjoy it from any seat. For Hawaii lovers and Cirque du Soleil fans, it was absolutely thrilling. It was the best!

ワイキキのど真ん中、800人ほど収容できるシアタースペースで手に汗握る圧巻のパフォーマンス。どの席からも楽しめると思います。ハワイ好き、シルク・ド・ソレイユ好きにはたまりませんでした。最高です。

I experienced the zip line at Kualoa Ranch last time, but this time it was many times more wonderful. Each line was longer and more thrilling than at Kualoa Ranch. The connecting activities like the buggy ride and the vertical drop were better than I expected. The staff were also kinder and friendlier than at Kualoa Ranch.
The downside is that you have to get to the local Kahuku by yourself, such as by rental car. If you have a rental car, you can enjoy a drive along the coastline from Waikiki, and you can also stop by Haleiwa on the way back, making your trip more efficient.
If you're considering the zip line at Kualoa Ranch, I recommend making the effort to choose Climb Works.

　前回クアロアランチでジップラインを体験しましたが、今回をその何倍以上も素晴らしかった。1本1本のラインがクアロアランチよりも長く、迫力がありました。繋ぎのアクティビティのバギー走行や垂直落下も予想以上に良かったです。スタッフもクアロアランチより親切でフレンドリーでした。
　短所は、現地カフクまでレンタカーなどで自力で行かなければならないことです。レンタカーがある場合はワイキキからドライブを兼ねて海岸線を走れるし、帰りにハレイワなどにも立ち寄れるので旅の効率も良いです。
　クアロアランチでジップラインを考えるなら、頑張ってクライムワークスを選ぶことをお勧めします。

The sunset and starry sky were amazing.
The sandwich I had at the summit was incredibly delicious.
The warm cocoa was also fantastic.

夕陽も星空も最高です
山頂で食べたサンドイッチが最高に美味しかったです。
あったかいココアも最高でした

We had an amazing tour !!
It was so much fun and worth the money.
The driver was so informative and helped to make the day even more enjoyable 😊
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting!! Also a great tour for those with mobility struggles.

It was easy to get around since the boat departs from Waikiki. At the snorkeling point, there were turtles that we could see up close. The water off Waikiki was also very clear and beautiful.

Additionally, after snorkeling, we cruised around to the back of Diamond Head, which made it feel like more than just a snorkeling trip. The staff only spoke English, but they provided explanations in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English will be fine!

ワイキキから船が出るので、移動が楽でした。シュノーケルポイントもカメが居て間近で見れました。ワイキキ沖でも水が澄んでいて凄く綺麗でした。
また、シュノーケルの後、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏位までクルージングしてくれて、ただシュノーケルやってお終いって感じじゃなかったのが良かったです。スタッフは英語だけですが、日本語の説明書きを見せてくれるので、英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫です！

The weather was perfect, and it was the best experience! Choosing the banana boat and tubing course was the right decision. During the banana boat ride, the boat staff took us to a sea turtle spot, so they stopped the boat for us to watch the sea turtles, and the kids were thrilled.

天気にも恵まれ最高でした♪バナナボートとチューブラインのコースで正解でした。バナナボートでは途中ボートの方が海亀のポイントに連れてってくれたので、ボートを止めて海亀ウォッチをしてくれ、子供も感激してました。

It was amazing.
Having a Japanese guide made me feel at ease.
Most of the participants were foreigners, so you can really enjoy the local atmosphere since there aren't many Japanese people.
There were plenty of staff on the boat who provided solid support and had very high energy.
We saw both dolphins and whales, and we also spotted sea turtles.
The bus ride to the location takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. It was quite cramped, and the air conditioning didn't work at all, so I was sweating a lot.
The journey to and from was the only tough part.
Lunch is distributed at the end, so it might be good to bring some salty snacks.
There is water available on the boat, so that's fine.
After getting in the water, it gets chilly, so a light jacket is essential.

最高でした。
日本語のガイドさんがいてくれたので、安心。
参加者のほとんどが外国人。日本人はあまりいないので、現地の雰囲気楽しめます。
船にスタッフも多く、しっかりサポートしてくれますし、テンションめちゃ高いです。
イルカもクジラも見れて、ウミガメも見れました。
現地までのバスが片道1時間から1時間半。かなりギュウギュウの状態で、冷房全く効かないので汗だく。
行き帰りだけが地獄です。
ランチは最後に配られるので、塩気のあるお菓子とか持っていけたら尚いいかも。
水などは船にあるので、大丈夫。
海に入った後は冷えるので、羽織もの必須。

I would like to thank our guides, Chieko and Dan, once again! I have experienced many tours like this, but I was truly impressed by your hospitality.

The night before, I received an email informing me that "Hanauma Bay is expected to be crowded due to the holiday, so we will pick you up 15 minutes early." It was very considerate of you.

The pickup and entry to Hanauma Bay were smooth, and you provided clear instructions on where to position ourselves to watch the explanation video.

For the early morning course in December, I hadn't reserved a wetsuit, but you advised me that it would be better to wear one because it was cold, and I was able to rent one on the spot.

My daughter (10 years old) brought her own snorkeling gear, but you kindly helped us switch the tube part to a high-spec rental item.

The snorkeling was amazing! With Chieko and Dan guiding us, and Chieko holding my daughter's hand, we were able to swim until the end and even see a sea turtle. It was a thrilling experience.

I definitely want to use your services again. Thank you very much!

ガイドのチエコさんダンさん、またお世話になりたいです！こういったツアーは沢山体験してきましたが、お2人のホスピタリティには感動しました。

前日夜、メールもいただいていたのですが、ホテルの部屋に「ハナウマ湾周辺はホリデーで混雑が予想されるので、15分早くピックアップします」とご丁寧にご連絡いただきました。

ピックアップもハナウマ湾への入場もスムーズで、説明ビデオを見るポジション取りもしっかり教えていただきました。

12月の早朝コース、ウェットスーツの予約をしていなかったのですが、寒いから着たほうが良いとアドバイスいただき、追加でその場でレンタルさせてもらいました。
娘(10歳)はシュノーケリング持参で行きましたが、筒の部分はハイスペックなレンタル品に変えてもらったり、お気遣いいただきました。

シュノーケリングも最高！
チエコさんダンさんにしっかりガイドしてもらい、チエコさんが娘の手を繋いでいてくれたおかげで、最後まで泳ぐことができ、ウミガメにも会えました。感激です。

また是非お世話になりたいです。
ありがとうございました！

The zip line was high and long, absolutely fantastic! Along the way, we cracked and ate macadamia nuts, and the initial transport was by buggy, so we had a variety of experiences. Although they were out of stock, it seems we could have eaten bananas if they were available.

The tour guide spoke only English, but it wasn't a problem since you can just watch what others are doing, and you don't really need detailed explanations.

You have to jump down from platforms about 10 meters high at two spots, so you’ll be jumping from a height (I’m not great with heights either, but the cable slows down your fall, so it was okay).

Since it was a plan without pickup, we went by rental car. I thought driving would be a hassle, but there are plenty of sightseeing spots around and all the way to Waikiki, and driving isn’t too complicated, so I recommend renting a car.

ジップラインは高く＆長く最高でした！途中マカダミアナッツを割って食べたり、最初の移動もバギーだったりと、色んな体験ができました。在庫切れでしたが、バナナがあれば食べれたみたいです。
ツアーガイドは英語だけですが、他の人がやっている所をみれば、特に細かな説明もいらないので問題ないです。
2カ所ほど10mくらいの高さの台からジャンプして降りなければならないので、高い所から飛び降ります(私も超苦手ですがケーブルで落ちる速度は減速できるので大丈夫でした)。
送迎なしプランだったのでレンタカーで行きました。運転面倒だなと思いましたが、周辺からワイキキまで沢山観光スポットがあるし、運転はそんなにややこしく無いので、レンタカーでもオススメです。

Thank you for a wonderful experience, blessed by good weather! I was able to see a beautiful sunset and a sea of clouds, a sight that is hard to come by in life.

天候にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！
綺麗な夕日と雲海で、人生でなかなか見ることができない光景を見ることができました。

What a rip off ! It says on their website that they will snorkeling for 45 to 60 minutes but they were only snorkeling for 25 minutes! Kylie was not friendly and accommodating. She made my daughter's experience horrible

I made a reservation here for New Year's Eve dinner on December 31st. We started with a buffet-style meal and then moved to the venue for the show. Since I booked a VIP package, the food and drinks were served with priority, which was great. I also took advantage of a paid option to have a photographer take pictures, and I was able to take home a special album with those photos. They took such wonderful pictures, and it became a great memory. The show also had the best seats in the center guaranteed, so we were smoothly guided to our seats. I definitely want to go again and would recommend it to my friends! It was amazing!

12月31日大晦日のディナーとしてこちらを予約しました。
最初にバイキング形式の食事をしてから、ショーを行う会場へ移動し観覧しました。
VIPで予約したので食事やドリンクは優先的に提供され、とても良かったです。
有料オプションでカメラマンに写真を撮ってもらい、専用のアルバムに入れた物を持ち帰るサービスも利用しました。
とっても素敵な写真を撮ってもらえて、良い思い出になりました。
ショーも1番見やすい中央の席が確約されていたのでスムーズに案内してくれました。
また行きたいし、友人にもオススメしたいと思えるところでした！最高です！

I was worried about seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication in advance! They regularly checked on my health, and I was able to enjoy the activities! I highly recommend this experience, but for those who get seasick, I suggest taking motion sickness medication.

船酔いに不安があったので事前に酔い止めを服用！
体調面に関しても定期的に気にかけてくださりアクティビティも楽しむことができました！
ぜひ経験していただきたいアクティビティですが、船酔いする方は酔い止め服用をオススメします。

I've always wanted to try this, but I didn't have the courage... After seeing it on TV, I thought I would give it a go this time! In the end, I'm glad I did! The only mistake I made was that in January, even in Hawaii, it was a bit cold to be in the water.

今までやってみたかったのですが、勇気が出ず…
テレビで見て今回はやってみようと思いました！
結果的にやって良かった！
ひとつだけ失敗したのは、1月だとハワイとは言え水に浸かると少し寒かったことくらい。

The staff were bright and funny, and they were the best. The donuts we got on the boat were delicious, but the juice was just okay. The place to disembark from the boat is in 1.5m of water. It's a tour mainly focused on attractions. Swimwear is a must. The attractions were enjoyable and felt safe with the staff's supervision.

スタッフは明るく面白い人たちでサイコーでした。
船でもらったドーナツは美味しかったけど、ジュースはイマイチかも。
船から降りる場所は、1.5mの海におります。アトラクションメインのツアーです。水着は必須。アトラクションはスタッフの見守りもあって安心で楽しめました。

I highly recommend this place to ride ATVs! The location is beautiful and the staff and guides are so knowledgeable and friendly I was treated like family here. I will definitely return again whenever I'm in oahu!

Words or pictures cannot describe the beauty from this trip. The guide was also very friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and the checking in process was smooth.

My only disappointment was the transportation to the hotel. The driver was rude and unhappy. He also made numerous phone calls and was talking on what appeared to be personal matters for over an hour of our drive which felt very unprofessional and even unsafe. I contacted the company to share my experience and I appreciate they responded immediately. A bus of many tourists on vacation should not have to listen to their driver complaining about work. On top of that he never even greeted any of the passengers onboard - definitely not reflective of the drivers of any of my other excursions . Overall, experience at the valley was unbelievable. The UTVs are the way to go.

Right after we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins near the exit from the port. They even showed us some jumps. The snorkeling point seemed to be beginner-friendly since there were children, but the waves were quite rough, and there were only a few types of fish, so it wasn't a very impressive experience. As a result, some participants got seasick, and although it was a tour that included lunch, when I mentioned that I couldn't eat, nothing was provided, and the tour ended. I wasn't able to ask because my English isn't very good, but I wish they had at least asked if I wanted to take something back.

出発してすぐ、港からの出口付近にイルカの群れを発見。ジャンプも見せてくれました。シュノーケルは子供も居たので初心者向けのポイントだった様ですが、結構波が荒く、魚も数種類で感動体験とはいきませんでした。結果参加者は船酔いしてしまい、昼食付きのツアーでしたが今は食べられなそうと言ったら何も提供されないままツアー終了。英語が不慣れな事もあり聞けませんでしたが、せめて持ち帰るか？など聞いて欲しかったです。

I had a wonderful experience.
There were about 30 people on the tour, and none of them were Japanese.
The ride there was a bit rocky, but the return trip was comfortable.
The crew was also wonderful.
The captain's service was excellent.
I was able to see whales and dolphins.
The nature of Kauai is amazing.

とっても素敵な体験しました。
30人程ツアーで日本人は、誰もいませんでした。
行は揺れましたが、
帰り追波で快適でした。
乗務員も素敵な人たちでした。
船長のサービスが素晴らしく。
クジラ・イルカもみれました。
カウアイ島の自然が素晴らしい。
