All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I think you can swim from the morning in the summer, but the mornings in March are still cold and tough. However, once the sun comes out, it's not that cold, so it might be better to swim in the afternoon during winter. Even in the shallow areas, you can see a lot of fish and swim close enough to them. I also got to see a seal, which was fun. It was a shame that one of the snorkels was broken.

夏場は朝から泳げると思うけど3月の朝はまだ寒くて辛かった。でも日が出てからはさほど寒くないので冬場は午後がいいかも。浅瀬でも沢山の魚をみれて手が届きそうな距離で一緒に泳げます。アザラシにも会えて楽しかったです。シュノーケルが一つ壊れてて残念でした。

Jenna, Kevin and the entire crew were fabulous. A Wonderful morning!

Meeting at the hotel, you can board directly from the beach behind the hotel, and you'll be back in the heart of Waikiki before noon, making it very time-efficient. The snorkeling time is about an hour in the area with sea turtles, and afterwards, we went sailing near Diamond Head. We also saw dolphins. I think this tour is just right for those who feel that spending a whole day in the ocean is a bit much.

ホテル集合～そのままホテル裏のビーチから乗船、お昼前にはワイキキ中心部に戻れるのでとても時間の効率がよいです。シュノーケルの時間はウミガメのいるエリアで賞味1時間ちょっと、その後はダイアモンドヘッドの前あたりまでセーリング。イルカも見れました。丸1日使ってガッツリ海に入るのはちょっと・・・という感じの方には丁度良いツアーだと思います。

This tour was comfortable, informative, and lots of fun. Our guide/driver Brandan is a safe driver and a genuinely nice person. He was born and raised on Maui, so he knew exactly where to go and what to see and do. For me, the best part of the trip was swimming under a waterfall; The cool water was so refreshing. Brandan also has a deep knowledge of Maui's history and Hawaiian culture which was invaluable as we learned so much about Maui's amazing natural environment from him.

This was a great day out and well worth it.

Also, like to give a shout out to our shuttle driver Kevin. He's from our neck of the woods so it was a real pleasure chatting with him.

Seeing the sun set above the cloud line is a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Fernando, made the night that much more enjoyable with the knowledge (and parkas) he shared. After the spectacular sun set we went further down the mountain to star gaze. The telescope he had was amazing, and it was super cool to see so many, and different, stars we see at home. This was a 10 out of 10 experience and I would highly recommend it..

I boarded the morning cruise. It was amazing to feel the wind while cruising on the ship. The drinks were unlimited, and the crew members were cheerful. The view of Diamond Head and the coastline of Honolulu from offshore was exceptional. I was very lucky to see a pair of turtles on the way back. I thought I would love to go on this cruise again when I visit Hawaii.

午前便に乗船しました。船の上で風を感じながらのクルーズは最高でした。ドリンク飲み放題で乗員さんも陽気です。沖合から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの海岸沿いは格別な眺めでした。帰り際に亀のつがいも見ることが出来たのでとてもラッキーでした。ハワイに行ったときはまた乗りたいと思いました。

We participated as a family of five adults. Riding the wind and the waves, we encountered sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience in Hawaii.

成人の家族五人で参加。風に乗り波に乗り、ウミガメにも出会え、ハワイでの忘れられない体験となりました。

So fun! Found it through a Groupon, and we totally got our money's worth. Take this cruise!

The view of the sea of clouds and sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was breathtaking. On the way there, I was caught in the rain and felt a bit anxious, but once I broke through the clouds, a clear sky opened up, and I was moved by the beautiful mountains and sky! Not only at the summit, but we also stopped by the observatory to take photos, allowing us to capture many great shots. As we got closer to the top, the air became thinner, but I felt reassured as they always checked on my condition! Along the way, they also shared many recommended spots on the Big Island! I definitely want to recommend this experience!

マウナケア山の頂上から見る雲海とサンセットは、息を呑む大絶景でした。
向かっている途中は雨に降られ、少し不安な気持ちになりましたが、雲を抜けると澄み切った空が広がっていて、美しい山と空に感動しました！
山頂だけでなく、天文台のそばで車を停めて写真タイムをとってくださり、たくさんの写真を撮れました◎
頂上に近づくにつれて空気が薄くなりますが、常に体調を気にかけていただき心強かったです！
道中ではハワイ島のおすすめスポットもたくさん教えていただきました！！
ぜひおすすめしたいです◎

I thought it would be good to enjoy this show with the premise of experiencing it before enjoying other traditional hula shows. Viewing it as a new genre made it even more enjoyable.

従来のフラのショーは、他で楽しむ前提で、このショーを楽しむと良いかと思いました。
1つの新しいジャンルだと思って観ると、さらに楽しめました。

Such a fun adventure! I was expecting it to be much more slow, on more paved roads, but it was an actual good side-by-side trail with some mildly technical spots and a good amount of speed. We loved it!

Unlike surfing, it's easy to ride the waves. Everyone paddles together to row out to the sea. It was March, but it wasn't cold and was quite comfortable. I was able to ride the waves about three times, and it felt great. The reception was very accommodating and reassuring. On rainy days, they notify you via LINE call on the morning of the reservation, and they were able to handle postponements on the spot.

サーフィンとは違い簡単に波乗り出来ます。パドルで全員協力して沖まで漕ぎます。3月でしたが寒くもなく快適でした。3回程波に乗れました、気持ち良いですよ。受付はとても対応よく、安心。雨の日の予約は当日朝にLINE電話にてお知らせあり、その場で延期対応頂けました。

Great trip on the river! The captain was very informative on the local culture. The crew performed a dance at the grotto and also performed several dances on the way back on the boat. A good value.

The path has almost no shade and goes straight up. The last set of stairs now has a detour, which is reassuring. It took about 45 minutes to climb and 30 minutes to descend for a fourth grader.

日陰は、ほぼ無く細い道をひたすら登ります。
最後の階段は迂回路が出来たので安心です
小学生4年生で登り45分程度、下り30分程度でした

Great trip, very well organized Guides are very attentive and enjoyable .

Our group of 8students had a good time, great weather and the entertainment and walking through the grotto was beautiful. A well run event.

I was able to spend a special day. It was my first time riding in a buggy, but since I was driving while breathing in the fresh air, I didn't get motion sickness and was able to enjoy sightseeing! The guides were truly wonderful people, and I felt deep down that I was glad to be here. I was really happy to see views that I can't see in Japan. This is definitely a tour I want to go on again when I come back to Hawaii!

特別な一日を過ごすことができました。
バギーに乗ること自体初めてでしたが、外の空気を吸いながらの運転だったので酔うこともなく楽しんで観光できました！
ガイドの方も本当に素敵な方達でここにきてよかったと心の底から思いました。
日本では見ることのできない景色を見ることができ、本当によかったです。
またハワイに来た際には絶対に行きたいツアーです！

I was really grateful that they provided transportation not only from Waikiki but also from the Ko Olina hotels. 🙏 The instructor was always taking photos, and at the end, we could purchase them for $70. 📸 There was one instructor who spoke Japanese, and they explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel very at ease. 🇯🇵 I was able to see the dolphins up close, and the thrilling water slide was a lot of fun! 🐬 I definitely want to visit again!

ワイキキだけでなく、コオリナのホテルでも送迎していただけた点がとても助かりました🙏常にインストラクターさんが写真を撮ってくださっていて、最後に70ドルで購入が可能でした📸日本語が話せるインストラクターさんが1人いらっしゃって、常に日本語で説明してくださったのでとても安心でした🇯🇵イルカもとても近くで見られて、スリル満点のウォータースライダーもとても楽しかったです🐬また訪れたいと思います！

All the actions were great. I was very satisfied to see it in authentic Hawaii. I want to go see it again. Depending on the seat, there might be announcements...

全てのアクションが良かったです。本場のハワイで見る事ができ大満足です。また見に行きたいです。座席によってはお呼び出しがあるかもしれないです……

The driver's response was very polite. It seems that it's possible to take a regular bus, but in the early morning, this kind of shuttle service is more reassuring.

運転手さんの対応はご丁寧でした。
路線バスでも行けない事は無さそうですが、早朝の場合はこうした送迎サービスの方が安心です。

10/10 recommend. Great staff. Friendly. Great music.

After 20 years? Following the storm and days of heavy rain leading up to it, the morning of the tour was clear, but upon arriving at the site, the clouds looked suspicious. As expected, it rained occasionally during the trek. The path was muddy, and there were signs of fallen trees, but our guide was attentive to safety issues, allowing us to complete the trek safely.

The tour was a mixed group of English speakers and Japanese participants, but with two guides (who also drove), we were able to split into English and Japanese groups, so there were no language issues, and we could enjoy ourselves without worry. At Tantalus Hill, the weather was clear, and we could see from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor.

Thank you to our guides, Shin and Jason, for a fun tour with great safety considerations.

20年ぶり？のストーム後、前日まで連日の大雨で、当日も朝は晴れていましたが、現地に到着すると怪しい雲行き。
案の定、トレッキング中も時々雨が降りました。
道はぬかるんでいて、倒木の跡もありましたが、ガイドさんが危険事項を都度注意してくれて安全にトレッキングを終えることができました。
ツアー英語圏の方と日本人の混載ツアーでしたが、2名のガイドさん(兼運転手さん)で英語班と日本語班で行動したので言語の問題はなく、安心して楽しく過ごすことができました。
タンタラスの丘では晴天で、ダイヤモンドヘッド〜パールハーバーまで見渡すことができました。
ガイドの進さん、ジェイソンさん、安全配慮の楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

The buffet had a variety of dishes from different countries, and I was happy to be able to choose my favorites. The performers seemed to be having a great time showcasing their talents, which made it enjoyable for us as well. I'm glad I decided to splurge a little and participate. Thank you very much.

ビュッフェ料理は色んな国の料理があって、自分の好きなものを選べて良かったです。
パフォーマンスは演者の方々がとても楽しそうに披露してくれて、こちらまで楽しくなりました。
少し奮発して参加を決めて正解でした。
ありがとうございました。

I was moved by how many times the manta rays passed by nearby. It's close to the pier, and since you just float, even children can easily participate.

何回も近くをマンタが通ってくれ感動しました。桟橋から近いし、浮いてるだけなので子供でも簡単に参加できます。

On the day, it was cloudy and it rained on the way back. At the sandbar, the captain brought boards and inflatable canoes, allowing us to play as much as we wanted, creating a very private atmosphere. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks prepared for us. When we got tired of playing, the captain took us on a cruise to see rays and sea turtles, providing excellent service. In the rain, the other groups around us looked cold, wrapped in beach towels, but the captain lent us sweatshirts, so we could comfortably play in the water without worry. On the way back, they also lent us umbrellas and raincoats. Since it was such a great experience, I hope for sunny weather next time and will definitely try again.

当日は曇りで帰りに雨が降りました。サンドバーでは、キャプテンがボードや浮き輪カヌーなどを持ってきてくれて、遊び放題でプライベート感満載でした。スナックやドリンクもたくさん準備してくれています。遊び飽きたらクルージングでエイやウミガメを見に連れて行ってくれたりと、サービス満点でした。雨の中、周りの集団の方達はバスタオルにくるまり寒そうでしたが、キャプテンがスエットを貸してくれるので終始水の中でも平気で思う存分遊べました。帰りは傘とレインコートも貸してくれました。せっかくなので、次回晴れることを祈ってまたチャレンジします。

We had a great time. Good food and drinks and entertainment. It did take some time to get started but overall great experience!

This was our 3 son's first trip to Hawaii. I wanted to make it special for them. It was great to see the sign that said MURPHY after getting off our flight. I knew exactly where to walk the boys. They were greeted very pleasantly and they were so excited to start their Hawaii vacation this way.

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the fireworks and had a buffet inside the hotel instead. We had a family photo taken, which we could purchase, but it wasn't free. There was a welcome drink available. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any leis. It was disappointing since the kids were looking forward to it. We had drink tickets for three drinks, but we only had one. The cultural experience felt a bit lacking as well. The show was good, though. I thought we wouldn't be able to see the fire dance indoors, but we were able to, which was nice. The buffet had a limited selection, but it was delicious. The seasoning was suitable for Japanese tastes, and the kids went back for seconds. Overall, it was below expectations due to the rain, but I hope to participate again next time, praying for sunny weather.

雨のため花火は見れず、ホテル内でのビュッフェでした。家族写真を撮ってもらい、購入できます。無料ではありません。ウェルカムドリンクあり。レイはもらえませんでした。子供が楽しみにしていたので残念でした。ドリンクチケットが3杯分ありましたが、一杯しか飲みませんでした。文化体験も、今一な感じでした。ショーは良かったです。ファイヤーダンスも室内だから見れないと思っていましたが、見れたので良かったです。ビュッフェは品数少なかったですが、美味しかったです。日本人にも合う味付けで、子供達もおかわりに行きました。トータルして雨だったので期待以下でしたが、次回も晴れるのを祈って参加したいと思います。

I rode a submarine for the first time. I had a great time enjoying the underwater world where fish and sea turtles live. It became a memorable time in Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました。お魚やウミガメが暮らしている海底の世界を満喫できてとっても楽しかったです。ハワイで思い出に残る時間となりました！とってもおすすめです。

It was easy to get to the boat departing from Waikiki Beach, which is very close to the hotel. The boat was larger than I expected, and even though it was raining that day, there was a covered area inside the boat, which was a relief. Due to the rain, we couldn't see any sea turtles, but we did see plenty of beautiful fish. Although it was raining that day, the waves weren't particularly strong, and I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt a bit seasick, so I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

ホテルからすぐ近くのワイキキビーチから出航するので移動が楽でした。
船は予想より大きくて当日は雨でしたが屋根付き船内もあり、助かりました。
雨のせいか、ウミガメは見ることができませんでしたが綺麗な魚はたくさん見れました。
当日は雨は降っていたものの特段、波の強い日ではなく普段は乗り物酔いもしない私ですが、少し船酔いしましたので酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうが良いかと思います。
