All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

In the afternoon, the sand wasn't packed down and felt like it was floating in the sea, but I had a great time with various activities! The banana boat was also amazing!

午後の時間帯で、砂はあわられておらず海にぷかぷか浮いている感じでしたが、いろんなアクティビティができて楽しかったです！
バナナボートも最高でした

We had such a great time here. The staff was very friendly. The views were amazing and we were able to feed animals and drive freely around the ATV course

I had a great time. I'm satisfied!

I read experiences and took motion sickness medication before participating. I was worried seeing someone on the previous boat struggling with seasickness, but thanks to the medication, I was able to enjoy the entire experience until the end.

It was amazing to go higher than I expected and see Waikiki from the sea!

とても楽しかった
満足です！

体験談を読んで酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。
前の船に乗っていた方が船酔いで辛そうにしているのをを見て心配でしたが酔い止めのおかげか最後まで楽しく参加する事が出来ました。

思ったよりも高く上がってワイキキを海から見ることが出来て最高でした！！

The pickup, local guidance, and snorkeling instruction were all great! However, it was a bit disappointing that the visibility was low due to the light rain and waves...

お迎えから、現地案内、シュノーケリング指導、とてもよかったです！しかし、小雨で波があったので、透明度が低く残念。。。

Turned out to be a perfect day and the crew were fabulous.

100% would do again

The people operating the cruise made it fantastic! I wouldn’t think any other sunset sail would be as good as what these three gentlemen did. Would recommend to everyone.

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the instructor was kind, fun, and led us accurately. I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours of riding in the great outdoors.

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、インストラクターさんが優しく楽しく的確にリードしてくれて、大自然の中での2時間の乗馬を満喫しました。

I thought everything and everyone was very organized. Staff friendly and informative.
The two guys that took us on the zip line trip made sure that we felt comfortable and safe.
Since this was my first time I was pretty scared but they were very encouraging. I’m glad there were 7 lines. It gave me a lot of opportunities to feel more comfortable.
The swimming hole was refreshing and lunch was good.

Excellent experience Justin was an awesome tour guide.

The show was great. It highlights the cultures of different Polynesian groups. We sign up for a tour guide inside the cultural center. It helps us schedule our activities for the whole day stay over there. The tour guides are students from their university. They are amazing. I can recommend this tour for families. The dinner buffet is sumptuous.

I rode with cheerful staff and a lively group of five American girls. The boat was high-speed, and parasailing offered a great view of Waikiki, which was fun. It was efficient with three people per ride. The Hilton grounds were too vast and felt far away.

陽気なスタッフと、賑やかなアメリカ女子5人組と同乗しました。船もハイスピードで、パラセーリングもワイキキ一望出来て、楽しかったです。
3人づつ乗れて効率的でした。ヒルトン敷地が広すぎて、遠かった

There was also a Japanese video at the beginning, and during the ride, the staff provided directions in Japanese, which made me feel安心して楽しめました. I thought it would have been great if there had been time to take photos along the way. The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely horseback ride.

はじめに日本語のビデオもあり、途中、スタッフの人が
方向を日本語で指示してくれて安心して楽しめました
途中で写真を撮る時間があったら最高だとおもいました
景色もよくゆっくり乗馬できました

A little while ago, I experienced altitude sickness during the sunset tour, so I was a bit worried about the sunrise tour, but I was able to clear it up beautifully and enjoyed the sunrise energetically!

On September 20 (Friday) in Hawaii, my husband and I participated in a sunrise tour at the summit of Mauna Kea, a long-time dream of ours. We were really looking forward to this day as the highlight of our trip to the Big Island.

Although I had some anxiety about the harsh environment at an altitude of about 4,200 meters, the moment I witnessed its beauty, all my worries disappeared.

The tour started in the middle of the night, and as we made our way to the summit in the darkness, the wonderful narration by our tour guide, Aoki, welcomed us with a starry sky. The stars shone as if we could reach out and touch them, leaving us speechless in the face of their beauty. It felt as if we were being drawn into the universe.

We were thoroughly satisfied as we looked through the telescope at the moonbow, Saturn, Jupiter, Canopus, Sirius, and Betelgeuse, guided by Aoki.

Upon reaching the summit, we followed Aoki's instructions and put on warm clothing to prepare for the cold while waiting for the sunrise. Gradually, the sky began to change from pale purple to orange, and eventually, the sun slowly revealed itself. At that moment, the mountains and the sea of clouds glowed golden, and I was struck by the grandeur of nature.

When the orange sun appeared from the sea of clouds, it was a moment so moving that it brought tears to my eyes.

Perhaps due to the thin air, I felt a bit of difficulty in breathing, but more than that, it was a moment filled with emotional fulfillment.

The sunrise at the summit of Mauna Kea was not just about enjoying a beautiful view; it was a special experience that allowed me to feel the connection between nature and the universe, and a new vision for life. Sharing this moment with my partner became one of the unforgettable memories of our lives.

As advice for those who will participate in the future, I recommend making sure to prepare for the cold. The altitude is high, and it gets quite chilly in the morning. Also, managing your physical condition to prevent altitude sickness is important. Enjoy the experience while consciously taking deep breaths. And above all, make sure to imprint the starry sky and sunrise in your memory, feeling that moment deeply rather than relying solely on photos.

Finally, the sunrise at the summit of Mauna Kea is an emotional moment worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime.

I will definitely participate in the sunrise tour again!

少し前に行ったサンセットツアーで、高山病の症状が出たので、少し心配しながらのサンライズツアーでしたが、綺麗にクリアできて元気に日の出を見てきました！

ハワイ現地9月20日（金）、私たち夫婦は長年の夢だったマウナケア山頂でのサンライズツアーに参加しました。ハワイ島での旅行のハイライトとして、この日をとても楽しみにしていました。

標高約4200メートルの過酷な環境に少し不安もありましたが、その美しさを目の当たりにした瞬間、その不安は一気に消え去りました。

ツアーは深夜にスタートし、まだ暗闇の中を山頂へ向かう途中、ツアーガイドのAokiさんの素晴らしい語りとともに夜空に広がる星空が私たちを出迎えてくれました。まるで手を伸ばせば触れられるような星々が輝き、私たちはその美しさに言葉を失いました。まるで宇宙に吸い込まれるような感覚に包まれました。

ムーンボウに、土星、木星、カノープス、シリウス、ペテルギウスまで望遠鏡でツアーガイドのAokiさんに見せていただき、パートナーと一緒に大満足。

山頂に到着し、ツアーガイドのAokiさんの指示通りに寒さ対策にしっかりと防寒具を身に着けながら、日の出を待ちました。少しずつ空が薄紫からオレンジ色に染まり始め、やがて太陽がゆっくりと顔を出しました。その瞬間、山々や雲海が黄金色に輝き、自然の壮大さに心を打たれました。

雲海からオレンジに輝く太陽が姿を現した時には、涙が出るような感動がありました。

空気が薄いせいか、呼吸が少し苦しく感じることもありましたが、それ以上に心が満たされる感動の瞬間でした。

マウナケア山頂でのサンライズは、単に美しい景色を楽しむだけでなく、自然と宇宙のつながり、人生のあらたなビションを感じる特別な体験でした。夫婦二人でこの瞬間を共有できたことは、私たちの人生の中でも忘れられない思い出の一つとなりました。

これから参加される方へのアドバイスとしては、まず防寒対策をしっかりとすることです。標高が高く、朝はかなり冷え込みます。また、高山病に備えて体調管理も大切です。ゆっくりと深呼吸を心掛けながら楽しんでください。そして、何よりも星空や日の出を自分の目でしっかりと焼き付け、写真だけに頼らず、その瞬間を心から感じてください。

最後に、マウナケア山頂でのサンライズは、人生に一度は体験する価値がある感動的な瞬間です。

サンライズツアー、また参加します‼️

This is my ninth time in Hawaii. I chose a tour because I wanted to go horseback riding along the coast. A Japanese guide taught me how to hold the reins and ride. My horse was Maui. She was not only used to customers but also moved exactly as I wanted. It was moving. I was able to spend a relaxing time.

Although my stay at Dole Plantation and Haleiwa was short, it was fulfilling.

ハワイは9回目。海岸を乗馬したくてツアーを選びました。手綱の取り方など運転してる日本人の方に教えてもらい。乗馬。私の馬は、マウイちゃん。客に慣れているのはもちろんですが、ちゃんと思い通りに、動いてくれました。感動。ゆったりした時間を過ごせます。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワ滞在は短いですが、充実してます。

When I traveled to Hawaii before, I did a Segway tour and had so much fun, so I chose the same Segway Kaka'ako course again. I requested a pickup, and it was just my husband and me. The guide was friendly and engaging, which made the experience enjoyable. Since it was our second time, we were able to start right after the briefing.

We took a lot of photos just the two of us, and the conversations were fun. The thrill of riding the Segway combined with the great experience made it very enjoyable. I appreciate the attentive service as well. On the way back, we were dropped off at the Ala Moana Shopping Center, which was convenient. If I get the chance to travel to Hawaii again, I would love to do the Segway tour once more.

前にハワイ旅行したときもセグウェイして、とても楽しかったので、また同じセグウェイのカカアココースにしました。
お迎えもお願いし、私たち夫婦だけで、行く時もお話してくれたり丁寧で楽しかったです。
2回目なのでレクチャーしてもらってすぐ出発することできました。
夫婦2人だけで写真もたくさんとっていただき、お話も楽しく、セグウェイの爽快感と合わせてとても楽しかったです。
丁寧な対応にも感謝します。
帰りはアラモアナショッピングセンターまで送ってもらい、合わせてよかったです。
また、ハワイ旅行できたら、セグウェイまたなりたいです。

I was a bit worried because it was mentioned that there wouldn't be a Japanese guide, but after seeing other people's posts and asking specific questions in advance, I received polite answers, which put me at ease.

Since the pickup was early, I wanted to have breakfast on the bus, but I found out that wasn't possible, so I was able to have breakfast beforehand and prepare my outfit.

The dust was quite intense, but I was ready for it, and above all, the scenery was wonderful. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the Jurassic Park filming locations a bit more.

It was a bit disappointing that all the explanations along the way were in English, so I couldn't understand much. Overall, I'm glad I participated!

日本語ガイドさんいないと記載あったので少し心配してましたが、他の方の投稿みたり、具体的にわからなかったことも事前に質問すると丁寧に回答いただき、安心できました。
質問内容は早いお迎えだったのでできたら、行きのバスの中で朝食食べたかったのですが、それはできないとわかり、事前に朝食すませたり、服装も準備できました。
砂埃がすごかったですが、汚れてもいい準備してましたし、何より素晴らしい景色でよかったです。
欲を言えばもう少しだけジュラシックパークのロケ地まわりもしたかったです。
また途中の説明は全部英語なのであまり理解できなかったのは残念でした。
全体通して参加してよかったです！

Overall great experience and had so much fun. This was my first time snorkeling and my first time in Hawaii. Definitely will return. The crew was outstanding.

This activity involves flying a sail with a wire while running on a boat, similar to kite flying. You go quite high, but because the sail is large, the descent is slow, and you don't feel that floating sensation in your stomach. The view from above was beautiful and calm, with no swaying left or right except for the wind, but looking down brought a considerable sense of fear due to the height.

The check-in was quick, just a signature, but the waiting time before starting was about 30 minutes. We went quite far offshore, and with two people in each of the five groups, we each flew for about 10 minutes in turn. The boat keeps moving during the trip back and forth and while the other groups are flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick.

On the way back, as the wire is reeled in, each group gets partially dipped in the sea, but we ended up completely soaked, so wearing clothes that can get wet is advisable. Three of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, and two groups, including ours, were travelers from Japan.

凧揚げをするように船で走りながらワイヤー付きのセイルを飛ばすアクティビティです。
かなり高いところまで行きますがセイルが大きいため、降下時もゆっくりでお腹がふわっとなる感覚はありません。
上空も左右に振られず風以外は穏やかで美しい景色を見れましたが、足元を見ると高さで中々の恐怖感がありました。
受付はサインだけなのですぐに終わりましたが、始まるまでの待ち時間は30分くらい。
船でかなり沖合まで出て、2人×5組いたのでそれぞれ順番に10分程飛びました。
行き帰りと他の組が飛んでいる間、船は走り続けますので少しでも乗り物で酔う人は酔い止めを飲んでおくことをおすすめします。
ワイヤーを巻き取って戻ってくる途中、どの組も海に半分だけ漬けられるのですが、我々だけ全身浸かってしまいずぶ濡れになりましたので、濡れてもいい服装がおすすめです。
参加者は3組がアメリカ本土からの旅行者で、我々を含む2組は日本からの旅行者でした。

Since the local weather can vary, I arrived on-site and checked the weather forecast, making my reservation two days in advance. The arrangements on the day went smoothly, and the people I participated with said, "I want to ride this again when I come back to Hawaii!" I was really happy to hear that since it was an activity I suggested.

You can see the familiar shape of Diamond Head and even get to view the backside, which offers a fresh perspective of its shape. The cheerful staff and the excitement of the other guests made it a fun, American-style experience. I will definitely come back to ride again!

現地の天気もあるので、現地入りして、天気予報を確認して2日前に予約しました。
当日の段取りもスムーズで一緒に参加した方からも、またハワイにきたら乗りたいな！といってもらえました。自分が提案したアクティビティだったので、喜んでもらえて嬉しかったです。
よく見るダイヤモンドヘッドの形から、ぐるっと裏側まで回ってもらえるので、違ったダイヤモンドヘッドの形まで見えますので新鮮です。
陽気なスタッフさんと、同乗したお客さんのテンションもアメリカらしく楽しかったです。
また乗りに戻ってきます！！

The location, the food, and entertainment was amazing. Truly worth your time and money for this experience. Would go again. My family enjoyed this. The breeze off the water felt heavenly. Go you will not regret it.

Great place, the whole staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, thr property was very well maintained . Busses were clean and the drivers were very good.all in all Great place to go to and reasonably cheap for all they offer.

The park was a bit confusing, but the show in the end of the night was awesome!

What a great day, there was the sweetest turtle the whole time in the water

Your in the bus for a long rides but the sights are all beautiful!

Like Sabrina Carpenter would say- short and sweet! Perfect to get out on the water and snorkeling right by the hotels!

Early morning tour but you get back with the day still to explore more, great way to see PH!

A wonderful, muddy, full of laughs family memory on Oahu!

A really lovely balance of getting to see the Na Pali and enjoying dinner while getting the gorgeous views!

We loved the whole experience through the canyon, and the Wailua river from above and then on the river

Hit some really gorgeous sites in Kauai- we loved the North Shore!
