All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The opportunity to drive your own ATV vehicle was the best. The tour guides we had were so knowledgeable about the history of the ranch and gave us plenty of time for photo opportunities on this beautiful ranch. If we are ever in Hawaii again, we will DEFINITELY do this tour a second time!

My butt got sore, but the horse was very obedient, so I was extremely satisfied. If I have the chance again, I would like to try riding a four-wheeler next time.

お尻が痛くなりましたが馬も素直に言うことを聞いてくれたので非常に満足です
また機会があれば今度は四輪バギーに乗ってみたいな

It was a bit cramped, but there wasn't any shaking, and there were lots of cute fish at the artificial reef, making for a very meaningful time. However, I probably wouldn't go on it a second time. The boat to the submarine was nice too! I definitely recommend it.

ちょっと狭いけど特に揺れたりすることもなく人工魚礁に可愛い魚が一杯でとても有意義な時間でした。
でも二回乗ることはないかな
潜水艦までの船も良かったね～
けっこうお勧めてすよ

First, we crossed the fish farming pond in a small boat and visited several locations used as filming sites for movies.

After that, we made our way to the sandy beach and switched to a glass-bottom boat to head out to sea. You can see the majestic mountains, including Kualoa Ranch, from the water! The view was breathtaking, just like the pictures on postcards! We also got close to Chinaman's Hat, which was clearly visible. The color of the sea changed beautifully between the shallow and deep areas.

We stopped for a bit offshore, and our guide helped us look for sea turtles. This time, we spotted sea turtles surfacing for air four times, and one of them was huge and very close to the boat.

When the turtles were hard to find, our guide cheerfully suggested looking over there or pointed out an island that looked like a turtle. They were very engaging and even took photos for us, showing great hospitality!

One thing to note is that when switching to the boat heading out to sea, it stops on the sandy beach without a dock, so you need to time your boarding with the waves; otherwise, your shoes might get wet. I wore sneakers and managed to get on and off at the right time, but since we walked on the beach, I wouldn't recommend wearing shoes you don't want to get dirty.

まずは養殖池を小さな船で渡り、映画のロケ地で使われた場所をいくつか見学しました。

その後砂浜に渡り、グラスボートに乗り換えて、沖の方へ船で向かいました。
クアロアランチをはじめとする雄大な山々を海から見れます！ポストカードにある写真のような絶景でした！
チャイナマンズハットも近くまでいくのでよく見えます。
海の色も浅いところと深いところで変わってきれいでした。

沖の方で少しとまって、ガイドさんが海亀を探してくれます。
今回は息継ぎをする海亀が4回見れて、そのうちの1匹は船の間近で、すごく大きかったです。

ガイドさんも亀が見当たらないときは、あっちを見てた方がいいよ！や、あそこに亀の形に見える島があるよ〜など楽しくおしゃべりしてくれました。
写真を撮ってくれたりなど、サービス精神旺盛でした！

注意点としては、沖に出る船に乗り換える際に砂浜に船がとまっているので桟橋などなく、波が引いたタイミングに乗り込まないと靴が濡れます。
私はスニーカーで行きましたが、タイミングよく乗り降りできたので大丈夫でしたが、砂浜を歩いたりするので汚したくない靴などで行くのはおすすめしません。

The Na Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Cruise was an amazing experience, overwhelmed by the beauty of nature along the Na Pali Coast. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding, I was able to enjoy it comfortably, and the food was very delicious. The crew was very kind, answering questions politely and providing excellent service, even taking photos at scenic points. The sunset was particularly magnificent, with the beautiful sun coloring the sea and sky, creating a memorable moment. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales, but it was still a very satisfying cruise. I was able to enjoy the scenery known as the filming locations for Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean, creating unforgettable memories.

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズは、ナパリコーストの大自然に圧倒される素晴らしい体験でした。乗船の30分前に酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、快適に楽しむことができ、ご飯もとても美味しかったです。クルーはとても親切で、質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ、絶景ポイントでは写真を撮ってくれるなど、サービスも行き届いていました。特にサンセットは壮大で、美しい夕日が海と空を彩り、心に残る最高の瞬間でした。残念ながらイルカや鯨を見ることはできませんでしたが、それでも大満足のクルーズでした。ジュラシックパークやパイレーツ・オブ・カリビアンのロケ地としても知られる景色を堪能でき、忘れられない思い出ができました。

I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, the filming location of the movie "Jurassic Park." With majestic mountains and beautiful coastlines, it's a fantastic place for movie fans and nature lovers alike. Riding in the vast wilderness felt extraordinary, and the stunning views of the ocean and mountains were very impressive. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided clear guidance for beginners, making it easy to enjoy. I was concerned about the heat, but a pleasant breeze made it comfortable. It was truly a satisfying tour. While there were reviews mentioning discomfort in the saddle, I found it to be perfectly fine.

映画『ジュラシックパーク』のロケ地であるクアロアランチの敷地内で乗馬体験でした。雄大な山々や美しい海岸線、巡る特別な体験で、映画ファンや自然好きにとって最高の場所です。広大な大自然の中での乗馬は非日常感があり、目の前に広がる海の美しい景色や山々がとても印象的でした。インストラクターは知識豊富で、初心者にもわかりやすく指導してくれるので安心して楽しめます。暑さが気になるかと思いきや、心地よい風が吹いており快適でした。まさに大満足のツアーです。お尻が痛くなったとの口コミもありましたが、全然大丈夫でした。

The scenery was very beautiful, and I felt relaxed from start to finish. The instructor got off the buggy and explained the area thoroughly, but since everything was in English, I had some trouble understanding. However, they were very kind, taking lots of photos and chatting with us.

Even though the buggy couldn't go very fast, it was thrilling and quite bumpy! There was a part where we drove into what seemed like a pond, which was really exciting at the end! A lot of dust gets in your eyes, so it's better to wear goggles or glasses. Your clothes will also get quite dirty from the dust!

景色がとても綺麗で最初から最後まで癒されました。
インストラクターの方がバギーを降りてから、その場所の説明をしっかりとしてますが全て英語なので英語が苦手な私は話がわからないところがありました。でも、写真をたくさん撮ってくれたり、話しかけてくれたり、とても優しかったです。
バギー自体は速度をそんなに出せなくてもスリル満点で、結構揺れます！池？のようなところに突っ込む箇所があって、最後盛り上がります！
かなり目に砂埃が入るので、ゴーグルや眼鏡をかけた方が良いです。服もかなり砂埃で汚れます！

The weather was nice, with views of the ocean and waterfalls, and I enjoyed the increasingly long zip line while having a banana. I was worried about not being able to speak English, but they were very kind and made me feel at ease. I believe that even those who don't speak English can participate. The seventh zip line had a rainbow over the waterfall, which was amazing! Moreover, the landing spot was also interesting. It might have been a coincidence, but the other participants from California and other countries were all friendly and the tour had a great atmosphere.

お天気も良く、海や滝が見えて、バナナをいただきながら、だんだん長くなるジップラインを楽しめました。
英語ができないので心配していましたが、優しく対応してくださるので安心です。英語のできない方も参加可能だと、私的には思います。
7本目のジップラインは滝に虹がかかっていて、最高‼️でした。その上、着地地点も面白かったですよ。
たまたまかもしれませんが、カリフォルニアや他国から参加の他の方も、皆さん優しくて和やかで、雰囲気の良いツアーでした。

The ups and downs of the hills, unique to four-wheel drive, were thrilling and enjoyable, and the view of Waipi'o Valley and the ocean from the slopes was absolutely wonderful. The horses also came over to the car and let us pet them. Experiencing crossing the river and seeing the taro planting were great highlights of the tour.

四輪駆動ならではの坂道のアップダウンが、スリルに満ちて面白ろく坂道の途中から見えるワイピオ渓谷と海が最高に素敵でした。馬も車に寄ってきて触らせてくれました。川を渡る経験も、タロ芋を植えるのもみせてもらって、大正解のツアーでした。

I used Uber to get to the meeting place, but I ended up at a different port. I couldn't get through on the phone and thought it was hopeless, but I really wanted to go parasailing, so I went to the meeting place with a glimmer of hope. In the end, I was able to reschedule, and I am very grateful! The staff were very kind and it was a lot of fun, making for great memories.

If you're driving, be aware that there are several spots (ports) for parasailing, and in the morning, traffic can double the travel time, so caution is needed. I recommend doing it as you can enjoy a panoramic view of Hawaii.

集合場所までUberを使用したところ違う港に着いてしまい、電話も繋がらずもう駄目だろうなと思いながらもどうしてもパラセーリングしたかったので僅かな希望をもち集合場所に行きました。
結果リスケして貰えることになり、とても感謝しています！泣
スタッフの方もとても優しくとても楽しく、いい思い出になりました。
車で行く場合はパラセーリングといったスポット(港)が数箇所あるのと、朝は渋滞で倍以上時間がかかるので注意が必要です。
ハワイを一望出来るのでやることをお勧めします。

It's a submarine journey that you can't experience anywhere else in Japan. I was able to capture a photo of a sea turtle. I was very lucky.

日本国内では体験のできない潜水艦の旅です。
ウミガメの姿が写真に収めることができました。
とてもラッキーでした。

This hike adventure was awesome! The views at different stops along the way were just amazing. Our Guide Jon was great! He was a knowledgeable about so many things such as the local birds, plants and history of the area. Entering a lava tube that was hundreds of years old was interesting, and fun. Jon made sure our group remained safe and also had fun along the way. One has to experience this activity to really appreciate it! I would definitely recommend this activity.

I have visited the Big Island multiple times and had seen the starry sky from the slopes of Mauna Kea, so I thought there might not be anything particularly new. However, I was very moved by the sea of clouds and the sunset from the summit! I had no issues with altitude sickness, and even though I was lightly dressed in September, the warm clothing provided was more than enough. The warm cocoa was appreciated, and the sandwiches were very delicious as well. I was able to take many photos of the sunset and the starry sky, creating precious memories. The attached photo was taken with a compact digital camera that has a starry sky shooting mode that I brought along. I hope to participate in other tours again someday.

ハワイ島には複数回訪れたことがあり、マウナケア中腹からの星空を観たこともあったため、そんなに目新しいいことはないかもしれないと思いつつ参加しましたが、山頂からの雲海、夕陽にとても感動しました！高山病は全く問題なく、9月で薄着でしたが貸していただける防寒着だけで充分でした。暖かいココアもありがたかったですが、サンドイッチもとても美味しかったです。夕陽、星空とたくさん写真を撮ってもらえて、貴重な思い出になりました。添付の写真は持参した星空撮影モードがあるコンパクトデジカメで撮影したものです。またいつか他のツアーにも参加させていただきたいと思います。

We were able to book day before, and it provided our family with a wonderful quick day of fun on Hana!!

What a thrilling day, my 11 year old was buzzing by the end!

Kauai from above is so green, lush, and gorgeous views of plenty of waterfalls!

They build a wonderful line course, getting you through the beautiful ranch!

Great tour, beautiful Na Pali coast, great sized catamaran!

It was a really great ground, but you will be tired after exploring PCC.

A great way to tour the ranch slowly and take in all the sights and scents of local Hawaiian land.

We have done a few other luaus on other islands, and this one really felt like Hawaii natives brought you in!

A wonderful amount of diverse stops that give you a great intro to Hawaii!

Really beautiful sights and tour of Kauai with a great guide.

Came over from Oahu, and loved every ounce of what we saw. Def coming to BI next!

The kids had a lot of fun, we think we would skip next but its worth it one time!

We reallly loved ths, as we are not great at snorkeling, it made it easy to swim a long time and there is a great amount of marine life!

Kona water is so clear we had wonderful views during this trip.

I made a reservation and payment for two people for parasailing on the first day of our three-day trip, arriving at 13:30.

After arriving, I changed into my swimsuit and sent my suitcase off, keeping only the essentials. However, I received an SMS at 11:20, ten minutes before the airport shuttle bus was scheduled to depart, informing me that all activities for the day were canceled due to strong winds.

After that, I had the option to either rebook or cancel for a refund, and I chose to rebook. I couldn't choose for the second day, but I successfully rebooked for the third day at 9:30. Since it wasn't due to my own circumstances, there was no change fee.

On the day of the activity, the original meeting time was 9:00, but due to a change in plans, I arrived an hour early at 8:00 by rental car. I changed and prepared at a nearby free parking lot. Although I arrived early, I was able to check in after consulting with the staff. I also confirmed the location of the free parking lot to ensure there were no issues.

We regrouped at 9:10, and by 9:20, our group of three, along with two other groups, boarded and set off. There is space to store luggage at your feet.

Once we were out at sea, parasailing began. You can take selfies and videos, but if it's your first time, you'll be battling fear while trying to operate your smartphone in a waterproof case under direct sunlight, so getting good photos and videos may depend on luck.

The staff also offers a service to take photos with a professional camera for $40, which I think is worth considering.

I won't spoil the details of the flight, but it was a very enjoyable and great experience.

As for tips, we gave $20 after returning to the port, retrieving our wallet from the trunk of the car. I’m not sure about the other two groups regarding their tips.

In conclusion, it became one of my best memories. I highly recommend giving it a try at least once!

事前に現地稼働可能な3日うち現地到着初日13:30で2名予約&決済。

現地着後にパラセイリング参加のため水着への着替えと最低限荷物保持しスーツケース発送完了し空港連絡バス発車10分前の11:20に強風で同日全てキャンセルのSMSを受信。

その後は再予約をするかキャンセル返金するかを選べる状況になり再予約を実施。2日目は選べず3日目9:30で再予約実施。自己都合では無いので変更手数料は0円でした。

当日は本来なら30分前9:00集合でしたが、予定を組み直した結果レンタカーで現地に行く事になり予定より1時間早い8:00に到着し付近の無料駐車場にて着替えなど準備実施。集合より早いが相談してチェックインもできました。無料駐車場の場所も念のため確認してもらい問題ない事も確認できました。

9:10再集合になり、9:20には他2組と自分達3組が搭乗して出港。荷物は足下に収納するスペースあります。

沖に出てパラセイリング開始となります。
自撮りで写真や動画も撮影可能ですが初めてだと上空で恐怖心と戦いながら防水ケースに入ったスマホを直射日光下で操作することになるので良い写真動画が撮れるかは運次第になると思います。

スタッフが船から40ドルで一眼カメラで写真撮影するサービスもあるので検討すると良いかと思います。

フライト内容はネタバレになるので書きませんが、とても楽しく良い経験になります。

チップは自分たちは2人で20ドルを帰港後に車のトランクにしまっておいた財布を取りに行ってから渡しました。他2組はチップ有無は不明でした。

結論、最高の思い出の一つになりました。一度はチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。おすすめします。

I used this for my honeymoon. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I made a reservation here in advance. There were many foreigners around, and I was initially anxious about my English, but I managed even without speaking much.

After the buffet, there was a hula dance lesson that interested participants could join.

I really enjoyed the show, but I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could understand English better. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were quite a few empty seats, but I think it's a great deal to enjoy a buffet and a show at this price!

初めてのハワイということもあり、事前に予約ができるこちらを予約しました。
周りは外国人の方が多く、もともと英語に不安がありましたが話せなくてもなんとかなります。
ビュッフェのあとには、フラダンスのレッスンがあり希望者は参加ができます。

ショーはとても楽しめましたが、英語が理解できたらより楽しめたのかなぁと思いました。
平日だったからなのか、空席が結構ありましたが、このお値段でビュッフェ、ショーが観れるのはお得だと思います！

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. The staff was very friendly and took a lot of photos for us. It was also reassuring that they spoke Japanese, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry.

In the first half, we enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. During snorkeling, there were instructions to avoid touching the coral, but while swimming, my feet accidentally brushed against it, causing some scrapes. If you have marine shoes, it might be a good idea to bring them.

Depending on the season, I think it's a popular tour, so I recommend making a reservation more than a month in advance!

スタッフの方はとてもフレンドリーで、たくさん写真を撮ってくださいます。
また日本語OKなので安心して楽しめました。

前半はサップや浮き輪などアクティビティを楽しみ、後半はシュノーケルでした。
シュノーケル中は珊瑚に触れないようにと案内がありますが、泳ぐうちに足が触れてしまい擦り傷ができてしまいました。
マリンシューズをお持ちの方は持参されたほうがいいかもしれません。

時期にもよると思いますが、人気のツアーなので1ヶ月以上前に予約することをオススメします！
