All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The sea was beautiful, and I encountered many fish and turtles. The playful captain caught a seahorse and showed it to us. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, during snorkeling, the female staff member stayed close by, guiding and encouraging me. I was moved by their warm hospitality. I often use Veltra for my travels, and I've never had a bad experience!

海は美しく、たくさんの魚や亀に出会いました。いたずら好き？な船長さんがたつのおとしごを捕まえて見せてくれました。
泳ぎが得意ではないですが、シュノーケリングではスタッフの女性がずっとそばにいてくれて、声をかけて誘導してくれました。
ホスピタリティ溢れる対応に感動しました。
旅行ではよくベルトラさんを利用させていただきますが、ハズレは全くないです‼️

We came as a group of 9. All of the workers were very accomodating and had great vibes. The live music was also amazing. We enjoyed all the activities and had a blast during our tour. Definitely recommend!

Great fun and experience. The crew were exceptional. They were very professional and knowledgeable.

Loved the food and the show was great. I will come back and recommend everything

Bus was half hour late. Received email half hour before our pick up time moving our pick up to a different location which created confusion for about 11 of us waiting to be picked up at original pick up site- our hotel! Very frustrating with no apologies. Very poor.

Very good time and price is good for you get. Well organize and having restricted area avoid to be around too many people. Thanks

This is very first time for us to enjoy such beautiful sunset especially stargazing we have never seen before. I will strongly recommend Maui All Stars to my friends.

The weather and scenery were great, and it was a fun experience. If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up again because it was so enjoyable.

It does sway quite a bit while moving. It felt like I might get seasick, so those who are prone to motion sickness should take some medication in advance.

I also requested the photo shoot for an additional $40. They were able to transfer the data directly to my iPhone.

天気＆景色も良く楽しい体験でした。
次回ハワイに行けたら、また申し込みしたいくらい楽しかったです。

移動する時に結構揺れます。船酔いしそうな感じだったので、酔いそうな人は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいいです。

追加料金40ドルの写真撮影もお願いしました。
iPhoneに直接データ転送してもらえました。

It was my first time in Hawaii. I participated with my family of five, and although we couldn't speak English, our cheerful guide kept us entertained until the end. It was an amazing time. However, three of us couldn't speak in the second half due to motion sickness. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

初めてのハワイでした。家族五人で参加したのですが、英語話せませんが、陽気なガイドさんで最後まだずっと楽しませて下さりました。
最高な時間でした。
ただ、乗り物酔いで三名が後半は話せませんでした。酔い止めはおすすめします。

Our guide, Koki, did a fabulous job with the Sunset photos for each of us at the summit and also a great job getting everyone's photo with the stars. He was an excellent driver and went slowly on the bumpy gravel part of the drive.

Because Koki's Japanese dialect is not something most English speaking people understand, he needs to speak more slowly and distinctly. I had a great deal of trouble understanding him - seems like I could only catch 4 out of every 10 words, and that is not something I expected on this tour. Granted, out of the 10 people, there were 2 Japanese men and Koki spent a lot of time on the way home speaking only to them in Japanese.

So, I had very mixed feelings about this tour. I come to Hawaii at least a couple times a year and I would definitely ask more questions about the guide and his speaking and understanding ability before I take my nest tour.

Most participants were international travelers, but there were hardly any Japanese people on the tour. I worked hard to listen to the English being spoken and realized my lack of language skills. However, I was very satisfied with the tour overall. Although it was a group booking with one vehicle, I learned for the first time that if there are several participants in the group who want to drive, multiple group bookings are necessary, as only two people can drive in one vehicle.

ほとんどの参加者が、海外旅行客
ただし、日本人はほとんどいないツアー
一生懸命に英語の話を聞き、語学力のなさが実感
しかし、ツアーとしては非常に満足することが出来た
発注単位のグループで１台の車両であったが、運転したいグループ参加者が福数人いる場合は、グループ発注を複数回行わないと、１台の車両では２名しか運転できない事が初めて分かった

The food was excellent. Even though the venue was large and held many people, it was very efficiently organised.

Open bar had a great selection of drinks

The show had a pre- show. the band played while we were having dinner and there were some songs sung by the cast.

The show itself had a great story line and you could tell that the performers are proud to be part of the cast.

You ARE NOT called up on stage. A good thing.

Great value for money as well.

Best activity in Hawaii! So fun for my family, nicest people made my kids feel comfortable. I only wish it was longer. We saw huge turtles and lots of fish, it was truly an amazing experience that I’ll never forget!

This was our third time on the Hani Olani catamaran, sunset cruise with our cousins. Each time has been a great experience. It’s great being barefoot on the deck of the catamaran makes serve drinks and food. The crew are always really nice and accommodating making us feel comfortable and treating us like royalty. It’s so beautiful to be out at sea and watch the sunset. It’s such a great surrounding. We highly recommend this excursion and most likely will do it again when we come back to the Big Island

The tour was very informative and lots of scenery to take in. When they say to layer for the top of Haleakala, take the suggestion. It was very cold at just short of 10,000 feet when the sun starts going down. It was a beautiful end to the day. A definite must for your bucket list.

It was an exhilarating show that was completely different from what I had imagined a Polynesian show would be! First of all, the power of the Polynesian show was incredibly moving. And the rock show was the best. Michael's singing and dancing were a sight to behold! After the show, there was a greeting and photo opportunity. I took a picture with Michael and shook his hand, but I was shaking all over, and I could tell he was performing despite being exhausted, which brought me to tears. It's a soulful show that I highly recommend everyone to see!

自分が想像していたポリネシアンショーとは一線を画す大興奮ショーでしたよ！
まず、ポリネシアンショーの迫力は凄く感動しました。
そして、ロックショー、最高でした。マイケルの歌、ダンス、一見あり！
ショーの後、グリーティング、写真撮影出来ました。
マイケルと写真撮影して握手してもらいましたが、全身震えていて、満身創痍でパフォーマンスしているのが分かり、涙が出ました。
そんな魂のショー、是非皆さん観てください！

Excellent service and experience! 100% recommended

I participated in a group lesson starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived. First, we received an explanation and safety briefing through a video in English indoors. After that, we walked to the beach in front of the Honolulu Zoo, where the instructor provided guidance on land before we entered the water. However, since the instructor's explanations were also in English, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English at all.

Other participants were also from Canada and the mainland, so I was able to experience a bit of a study abroad atmosphere through English communication. The waves were not too big, making them just right for beginners. With the instructor's help while riding, everyone was able to stand up and ride the waves.

Since being able to swim was a prerequisite, it was a bit tough to paddle back and forth to the spot to catch the waves, but thanks to that, I was able to sleep soundly from the first day and managed to avoid jet lag afterward.

到着した日の午後からグループレッスンに参加しました。
まず室内にて英語による動画で説明、注意点の講習を受けた後にホノルル動物園前のビーチに徒歩で移動、そこでインストラクターから海に入る前に陸上で指導して頂きますがインストラクターの方の説明も英語なので、英語が全く分からないと少しキツいかもしれません。
他の参加者もカナダや本土から来ていた方で、英語によるコミュニケーションなので少しプチ留学の気分を味わう事ができました。
波はそれほど大きくなく初心者にはちょうど良い強さでインストラクターの方にライドする際に押してもらえば参加者の全員が立って波に乗る事ができました。
泳げる事が前提なので自分自身で波に乗る場所までパドリングで往復する必要があるため少し大変でしたが、おかげで初日からぐっすり眠れその後時差ボケせずに過ごすことができました。

We gathered in the afternoon and made our way to the summit while taking breaks along the way. To avoid altitude sickness, we ascended slowly, and near the top, they flexibly adjusted our location based on the weather and the number of tourists. Although it was almost a full moon, we could see many stars, and the explanation using the telescope was very interesting. Next time, I would like to go during a different season, preferably close to a new moon.

You can borrow a jacket and gloves similar to ski wear, which provides considerable warmth, but it's also good to bring a down inner layer, a hat that covers your ears, and socks that don't expose your ankles. My husband wore down pants as well, so he was even more insulated from the cold.

午後集合．途中で休憩しながら頂上へ．高山病にならないよう，ゆっくりとあがってもらい，頂上付近では，天候や観光客の状況から，柔軟に場所を変えて対応してくれました．ほぼ満月に近い日程でしたが，星はたくさん見えましたし，天体望遠鏡での説明も，興味深かったです．今度は，違う季節で，かつ新月に近い時期に行ってみたいです．
スキーウェアのような上着と手袋をお借りできるので，かなりの防寒になりますが，ダウンのインナー，耳が隠れる帽子，足首が出ない靴下を持っていくとよいです．夫はダウンのパンツも履いたので，さらに寒さ知らずでした．

This is my second time, but the first time it was guided in Japanese. Recently, it seems that there are fewer Japanese tourists, so it's only in English now. I wish I had studied English a bit more before participating. (laughs)

2回目ですが、初回は日本語で案内だったのですが、最近は日本人観光客が減ったので、英語のみのようです。
もう少し、英語を勉強してから参加すれば良かったです。(笑)

I'm glad they provided raincoats for us. My lower legs inevitably got wet, but I brought a change of clothes just in case, so it wasn't a problem. (laughs)

レインコートも貸して頂けるので良かったです。膝から下はどうしても濡れてしまいますが。
念のため、着替えも持参していたので問題なかったです。(笑)

The sunset was beautiful, and the stars were lovely. Since it was a half moon, the sky was bright, and while the Milky Way wasn't very clear, it was visible. It was a precious experience, and the guide was great too.

夕日も素敵、星もきれい。半月だったので、空が明るく、天の川ははっきりとはしませんでしたが、見えました。貴重な体験でしたガイドさんも良かったです。

I visit Hawaii regularly every year. I have participated in various sailing activities, but Holokai Catamaran has been the best, so this is my third consecutive year joining them.

The most wonderful aspect is, of course, the view of Waikiki from the sea, but even more so, the friendly attitude and service spirit of the crew. They offer unlimited drinks and provide timely refills, which reflects the hospitality that Japanese people appreciate, and it makes me happy.

There are many sailing options in Waikiki, but this one is the best. If you're considering it, definitely go and check it out!

毎年HAWAIIには定期的に伺います。
いろいろなセーリングに参加していましたがホロカイカタマランが一番良かったので今回で3年続けて参加させて頂きました。
何よりも素晴らしいのは当然海から見るワイキキの風景ですが、それにもましてクルーのフレンドリーな対応やサービス精神です。
飲み放題ですがタイムリーにお代わりの飲み物を提供してくれたり日本人が喜ぶもてなしの精神か伺え嬉しくなります。
ワイキキには数多くセイリングがありますが
ココが一番です。
ご検討の人は是非行って見てください。

Captain Austin and Kevin did a wonderful job helping us scatter our parents ashes. The day was perfect. Wonderful sunset. Great views. And Austin even hand picked the flowers that we scattered over the ashes. It made a somber activity a wonderful memory. Thank you!
The Bradshaw family

First, I was taught how to stand on the beach, and since we were facing the ocean, even beginners were able to ride the waves! There were multiple instructors watching over us, so I felt safe while having fun!

はじめに浜で立ち方を教えてもらって、海に向かうので、初心者でも波にのる事ができました！先生も複数人いて、全体を見てて貰えるので安心して遊ぶ事が出来ます！

We drove buggies while touring the highlights of Kualoa Ranch. Since all participants were adults, the guide shared a lot of interesting historical background.

バギーを運転しながらクアロアランチの名所を巡りました。
参加者が全員成人であったためガイドさんが歴史的な背景の話をよくしてくださりました。

We took this tour with Jason. It was amazing. Jason, a local, was fantastic. He was personable, engaging, entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour, and Hawaiian culture and lifestyle. The views speak for themselves and are breathtaking.
Highly recommend this excursion to anyone who is interested in views, astronomy, and something different to do, when on vacation. I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure and look forward to the next time.

We had a wonderful time at the luau, met nice people at our table as well. Was a little disappointed with the food as I was expecting a more traditionally cooked food. The entertainment was first class.
Overall we had a wonderful time and would do it again.

The sunset above the sea of clouds was amazing!
The starry sky was also wonderful.
They lend you jackets and other items, so it wasn't as cold as I expected.

雲海の上からの夕陽最高でした！
満天の星も素晴らしかったです。
ジャケットなど貸してくれるので思ったほど寒くはありませんでした。

This was me & my partners second time doing this adventure, first time was back in 2021. We had great instructors both times but this time we got taken on a slightly longer path that was even more beautiful & scenic than the last. We had a couple friends with us this time that we recommended the tour too & they absolutely loved it as a highlight of their trip! Ticket price had slightly increased since the last time we came but definitely worth it!
