I was very moved by the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above. Additionally, during the photo shoot, there was a unique touch using a shark doll, as shown in the shared photos, which made for a very fun memory. I was also impressed by how they provided attentive service until the end, not only saving the photos directly to my phone when I purchased them but also offering an SD card!

The morning was quite challenging. I didn't read the voucher carefully, and the meeting place was not at the hotel where I was staying, but about a 7-minute walk away.
Since I arrived 15 minutes early, I was able to make it to the correct meeting place on time. The driver didn't understand any Japanese, but he was a really nice person.
The activity was amazing. The explanations and registration before it started were a bit difficult, but the view afterward was fantastic. The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand most of it, but just watching the guide's way of speaking and expressions was enjoyable.
When it rains, the dust doesn't rise, but you get quite wet, so I think it's a good idea to buy a poncho on-site.

I experienced this two days after the Honolulu Marathon, but unfortunately, the weather was bad with high waves, and some people got seasick before the boat even left the shore. Since five groups were boarding in order, there was quite a bit of waiting time, and ultimately, many people ended up feeling sick 💦.
I managed to be okay because I skipped breakfast and took motion sickness medication. Watching the first group go up helped me understand what to expect, so it wasn't too scary, and while going up, there was no swaying, which felt nice!
However, before descending, you are dropped close to the water's surface, so your clothes might get wet.

I purchased a 4-day ticket and used it only once. If you have a leisurely travel schedule, you can search for the boarding spots and adjust your timing, but it was quite difficult to use. I wanted to take my time in the evening, but it wasn't operating then. Besides the Ala Moana Shopping Center, I found it hard to figure out where the boarding spots were. Am I the only one who thought it was challenging?

I couldn't find a Japanese tour, so I joined an English tour, which made me a bit anxious, but the result was absolutely satisfying! At one point, the road to the summit was closed due to thick fog, but as predicted by our guide James, the closure was lifted, and we were able to experience the best sunset and a sky full of stars at the summit of Mauna Kea.
Even though Hawaii is a tropical paradise, the temperature at the 4,000-meter summit was very low, around 0 degrees Celsius, and the air pressure was also low, which posed a risk of health issues. However, James was incredibly reliable, preparing and guiding us like a Sherpa, which was truly reassuring.
The beauty of the sunset through the Subaru Telescope and the starlit sky viewed from an even higher location than the Mauna Kea foothills is something I will never forget. James took some very skillful and creative photos, which I continue to enjoy even after returning home. Thank you very much!

I encountered sea turtles at various beaches, and visiting the macadamia nut farm and coffee plantation was enjoyable as well. Above all, our guide Jonathan's chatter made it a truly delightful tour.

This was our second family trip to Hawaii, and while we were debating what activities to do, we found this one. After checking with the kids, they seemed excited, so we decided to sign up. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our activity, but we had a great time nonetheless. My eldest son, who is not fond of heights, said it was a bit scary, but my daughter and younger son, who is in elementary school, loved it and wanted to do it again.
I thought I would feel more scared when going up, but I ascended smoothly and didn't feel scared at all. It was a great opportunity to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean direction, something I had never experienced before.
We were also lucky enough to see whales from the boat. My eldest son was right above them, so he got to see the whales from the sky.
The staff were kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience thoroughly.

I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:
1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.
2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.
3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.
From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.
Great for families with elderly or young kids

I was able to show my parents a sky full of stars. It takes about half a day, but I think it's a worthwhile experience. Thank you.
満天の星空を両親に見せることができました、時間は半日くらい掛かりますが、それに見合う体験だと思います、ありがとうございます。

The driver arrived at the pickup location on time and was very kind to us, even though we are Japanese! If you're planning to climb Diamond Head, I definitely recommend going early in the morning. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise! ♪
運転手さんは時間通りに送迎場所に来てくださり、日本人の私たちにも優しく接してくださいました!
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るなら絶対早朝をおすすめします。
とても綺麗なサンライズを見ることができました♪
The souvenir shop at the exit is disappointing, so it's better to stay in the mountains until just before the pickup time. You'll have too much time on your hands.
出口のお土産屋さんがショボいので、帰りの迎えの時間ギリギリまで山にいたほうがいいです。時間を持て余します。

Highly recommend. We had a local guide who did a fantastic job educating us about the people and culture of the valley. The views were stunning. Can’t say enough good about it.

The shuttle service was convenient and made things easy. It was reassuring to have Japanese staff on-site.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning on the bus going there was broken, and I thought everyone might suffer from heatstroke, so that was a disappointment.
The tour wasn't as dirty as I had heard from rumors! (The weather was nice, which helped.)
I went in sweatpants, but I thought maybe it wasn't necessary to worry about that? However, it might just be luck, so I can't say for sure!
Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's not a problem even for those who are inexperienced drivers!
送迎もあり、楽ちんでした。
日本語のスタッフさんも現地にいるので安心でした。
行きのバスの空調が壊れていて、みんな熱中症になるかと思うくらいでしたので、そこだけ残念でした。
ツアーは、噂で聞いていたほどは汚れませんでした!(お天気だったこともあり。)
ジャージで行きましたがそこまで気にしなくても良かったかも?と思いましたが、これは運かもしれないのでわかりません!
とにかくオススメです。ペーパードライバーでも問題ないです!
Nothing in particular.
特にない

Anyone can climb it. However, to climb Diamond Head, prior application is required, so it might be easier to join a tour like this. If you can apply in advance by yourself, it would be cheaper to get to the trailhead by bus or Uber.
誰でも登れます。但し、ダイヤモンドヘッドを登るには、事前申請が必要なので、このようなツアーで参加するのが楽かも知れません。自分自身で事前申請ができるのであれば、登山口まで、バスやウーバーで行った方が安いでしょう。
The path is well-maintained, so anyone should be able to climb it. I think even kindergarteners would be fine. There are restrooms only at the trailhead. Since there are no vending machines along the
道は整備されているので、誰でも登れるでしょう。幼稚園児でも大丈夫だと思います。トイレは登山口にしかありません。途中に自動販売機などもありませんから、水などは事前に用意した方が良いと思います。

The staff was very kind, and they were friendly and funny, which made for a great experience. My 6-year-old child also participated and had a lot of fun. I would like to request their services again when I come next time.
とても親切な対応、優しくて面白いスタッフさん達でとても良い体験ができました。6歳の子供も参加して楽しんでました。また今度も来た時はお願いしたいです。
I think it would be a good idea to add the banana boat as an option. It looked like a lot of fun.
バナナボートをオプションで追加した方がいいと思います。とても楽しそうでした。
Aloha Ma-san,
