All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

You can bring a small bag, like a backpack, onto the boat and keep it under the seat. I took motion sickness medication, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and I ended up feeling sick. My husband and child seemed to be fine. After parasailing, I felt seasick for about half a day, but even considering that, it was a wonderful opportunity that you don't get to experience often.

リュック程度の小さなカバンは船に持ち込むことができ、椅子の下に置いておけます。酔い止めを飲みましたが、船はかなり揺れるので、酔ってしまいました。主人と子供は大丈夫そうでした。パラセイリング後、船酔いで半日くらい辛かったですが、それを差し引いても、なかなか体験できない素晴らしい機会でした。

Before getting on the boat, I started to feel scared and thought about backing out for a moment, but once I got on and the staff explained everything in a fun and entertaining way, my tension eased! I wasn't scared at all during takeoff or landing! It was amazing!!!

船に乗る前に怖くなってきて少しだけやめようかと思いましたが、船に乗ってスタッフがおもしろおかしく説明してくれたので、緊張感がほぐれました！飛ぶ時も降りる時も怖くなかったです！最高でした！！！

This was such a fun family activity! A first for us, but something we’ll definitely do again when visiting Oahu. The staff was very friendly and clear on what we needed to do. The captain knows what he’s doing. He caught three awesome waves! A must do, especially if you have you get children!

I participated with my elementary school child. There is a reception at the Hilton Hawaiian Village beach, so when we went there, we were told to head to the boat dock at the end of the pier. It was close, and since that was the only option, it was easy to find our way.

There were about 30 participants in the tour at the same time. First, we took a boat out to sea and then transferred to a submarine. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery during the boat ride was very beautiful and enjoyable.

The submarine experience was relatively monotonous, but I was satisfied because we were able to see sharks and rays.

小学生の子供と二人で参加しました。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのビーチに受付があるのでそこへ行くと、桟橋の先の船乗り場に行くように言われました。近いし、それしかないので、迷いようもなく簡単でした。
ツアーは、同じ時間帯に、30人ぐらいかなと思いますが、参加者がいました。まず船で沖合に行き、潜水艦に乗り換えました。お天気に恵まれて、船での移動も景色がとても良くて楽しかったです。
潜水艦の方は割と単調で、でもサメやエイも見れたので満足です。

It is located just a short boat ride from the port. The activity is divided into two parts: we first enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in shallow waters, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. I had imagined a sandy beach during low tide, but since we went during high tide, we paddled in shallow waters that were about knee-deep for adults. We let the little ones ride on a small boat float (as shown in the posted photos) and pulled them around for fun. However, the snorkeling part goes quite deep, so while we wore life jackets, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not accustomed to snorkeling. In the end, we put the kids on a ZAYAK, but it didn't provide the stability we expected. Nevertheless, there is a good chance of seeing sea turtles. It would have been better if they had provided a more stable see-through boat float for the kids. Also, the water temperature in the morning is a bit on the cooler side.

港から船ですぐに着くところにあります。２部構成ではじめは浅瀬をSUPで楽しみ、後半はシュノーケリングでした。干潮時の砂浜を想像していましたが、満潮時に行ったので、大人の膝上程度の浅瀬でＳＵＰをしました。小さい子は小さいボートフロート（投稿写真）に乗せて、引っ張りまわして遊びました。しかしながら、後半のシュノーケリングの方は、かなり深いところまで行きますので、ライフジャケットをつけていますが、シュノーケリングに慣れていない子供には少しレベルが高いかと思います。結局、子供をZAYAKに乗せましたが、こちらも思ったようには安定せず。しかしながら、ウミガメが結構な確率で見られます。
子供用にもう少し安定感のあるシースルーボートフロート等を貸してくれたらもっと良かったかもしれません。あと、午前中の便は少し海水温が低めです。

Hotel pickup included, 2-hour four-wheeler buggy experience (morning).
Due to the bus schedule, we didn't have time to eat lunch on-site, but we thoroughly enjoyed the 2-hour buggy ride.
The driver can be changed during the ride (there were about three change points), and my spouse and I took turns driving while enjoying the stunning views. It was a very satisfying experience.

ホテルに送迎つき、2時間の四輪バギー体験（午前）
バスの送迎の時間の都合上、
現地でお昼を食べる時間はありませんでしたが、
バギーは2時間たっぷり楽しめました。
運転手も途中で交代可能（交代ポイントは3カ所くらいありました）で、夫婦で交代して乗り、
絶景を見ながらの走行、とても満足のいく体験でした。

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first experience participating in this tour. I've seen sharks through glass and from a boat, but this time, even though there was a cage, the sensation of swimming right next to them was thrilling and very enjoyable. If I could experience it at a deeper level with something like an air walk that supplies oxygen, it might be even more fun. I definitely plan to participate again if I have the chance.

何度かハワイに来てますが、このツアーの参加は初めて体験してみました。サメをガラス越しに観察や船上から見たことはありますが今回はゲージがあるとはいえ直ぐ足元や横で一緒に泳いでいるという感覚はスリルも感じとても楽しかったです。エアーウォークみたいに酸素を送りもう少し深い位置で体験出来たらもっと楽しいかもしれない。また機会があれば是非参加してみようと思います。

I suddenly saw a mountain that looked just like the one from Jurassic Park, and it brought back memories of that scene. You can also see the ocean, and there are many breathtaking viewpoints. The drive was exciting too.

まさにジェラシックパークで出てきた急にきりだった山が見えてシーンが思い出されました。また海も見えるし、絶景ポイントが沢山ありました。
運転もエキサイティングでした。

I hesitated to participate due to the weak yen, but I thought it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I went for it. It was amazing. The guide was very kind, and I made the best memories.

円安で参加を躊躇しましたが、一生に一回しか行かないかも知れないし行ってみました。最高でした。ガイドさんもとても親切で最高の思い出ができました。

This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.

I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.

I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.

Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.

７年ぶりの参加で、今回は２歳５歳９歳の子連れ。
せっかく借りたパラソルが強風で使えず。まあこれは７年前も同じ。

せめて９歳の長男はシュノーケリング成功させたかったけど、怖がって断念。

７年前はシャトルサービス４５ドルくらいだったと思うが、今は値段がほぼ倍。

全体に、小さな子連れには不向きだと思いましたが、
これは我が家の事情なので、★４つにします。

The captain and his 1st mate were excellent. The tour it self was very informative. It was beautiful. The only thing i would suggest maybe was to have a variety of drinks. Not so sweet and sugary. Add some vodka.

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of the many ocean activities, but the mountain activities are also fantastic. We had an amazing time horseback riding on a trail that felt like dinosaurs could appear at any moment. The horses were all very smart and walked in line without much need for reins. The Japanese guide provided explanations, and there was also a video in Japanese that explained horseback riding, so even if you're not good at English, it's not a problem. I would love to participate again.

ハワイと言えば海のアクティビティが多いですが、山のアクティビティも最高です。
恐竜が出てきそうな山道を家族で乗馬して最高な時間でした。
お馬さんはみんな賢くて手綱裁きはほとんどせずに列に並んで歩いてくれました。
日本の方のガイドさんの説明や日本語のビデオでも乗馬の説明をしてくれるので、英語が苦手でも問題ありません。
また参加したいです。

Most of the crew was nice and friendly. When we signed up for this tour, the two activities my group and I were looking forward to were the Banana Boat and BUmper Tube. However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.

The weather was great, the scenery was wonderful, and I had a lot of fun.
My English is not very good, but I felt reassured because they kindly taught me.

I was worried about whether there would be sharks, but there were no problems at all, and they were swimming around everywhere. I was able to see many sharks.

The voucher from Veltra mentioned beach sandals or slippers, but in reality, I was told to go barefoot when getting on the boat, and I was barefoot the whole time on the boat.

When I ordered a DVD, I was told that the camera was broken because it was bitten by a shark! They said sorry.

There were various differences from the information provided by Veltra, but overall, I had a great time.

お天気に恵まれて、景色も素晴らしく、楽しかったです。
英語はさっぱりなのですが、親切に教えてもらえて安心でした。

サメがいるかどうか、心配してたのですが、まったく問題なしで、うじゃうじゃ泳いでいました。たくさんのサメを見ることができました。

ベルトラさんのバウチャーには、ビーチサンダルかスリッパと書かれていたのですが、実際は船に乗るとき裸足になるように言われ、船に乗ってからはずっと裸足でした。

DVDを頼んだら、サメに噛まれてカメラが壊れた！ごめんねと言われました。

ヴェルトラさんの情報とは異なるところがいろいろありましたが、総合してとても楽しかったです。

It's not shallow at all! What does "Heavenly Sea" mean? Please let me know in advance♪

全然浅瀬じゃないって！「天国の海」はどういう意味なのか？事前に言っといてくださいね♪
日本人日系人の日本語の詳しい情報はないみたい

Did a day trip from Oahu to Kauai. So included a couple flights, made for a long day but interesting.

Rosario (driver/leader) was quite knowledgeable, talked about his favourite things and locals, had suggestions for what to eat for lunch at the chicken in a barrel.

Very little hiking. I used this more as a rest day, traveling by bus was easy and Rosario was good with time allocations at each stop.

Stopped at the local blowhole, coffee makers, hanapepe,and various points up the canyon and the lodge at the top.

Would recommend bringing own water, not many places to get, so money for a beer for lunch, and snacks for at the lodge.

I participated with my daughter, and since we were in a tandem kayak (for two people), we enjoyed the tour while taking turns resting and sometimes pushing ourselves together! Our guide, Winfield, had an incredibly lucky day, as dolphins swam alongside our kayak, creating wonderful memories. This isn't an option; it's just pure luck, but it's the kind of experience that can happen on this tour.

They also provided plenty of time for snorkeling, which made us very satisfied.

The meeting point was a bit difficult to find, but our guide helped us locate it, and we were able to start without any issues!

母娘で参加しましたが、テンダム(2人乗り)のカヤックだったのでお互い休みながら、時に一緒に頑張りながらツアーを楽しみました！
ガイドのWinfieldが驚くほどラッキーな日で、イルカが私たちのカヤックを並走してくれて、素敵な思い出になりました。これはオプションでもなく、単なる運ですが、そんなことも起こり得るツアーです。
スノーケリングの時間も十分に取ってくださり、大満足です。

集合場所に関してだけ、若干分かりづらいですが、ガイドさんが見つけてくださって無事スタートできました！

I was able to fully enjoy the nature-rich Kauai Island. I truly had a wonderful experience.

Of course, I got to see the Fern Grotto and Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, as well as the valleys and waterfalls visible along the way. The lunch sandwiches were delicious too! In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, we also stopped by a Kauai coffee shop where I could enjoy some very drinkable coffee. The driver and guide were friendly and skilled at driving. I would like to sign up for a tour with Polynesian Adventure again on my future travels.

自然豊かなカウアイ島を満喫することができました。本当に良い想いをさせてもらいました。

シダの洞窟や太平洋のグランド・キャニオンと呼ばれるワイメア渓谷はもちろん、道中にて見える渓谷や滝なども見ることができます。ランチのサンドイッチも美味しかったです！また、自然豊かな場所に加えカウアイコーヒーショップに寄ることができます。とても飲みやすいコーヒーを飲むこともできます。ドライバー兼ガイドの方も気さくですし、運転も上手です。今後も旅行の際にはPolynesian Adventureさんのツアーに申し込みたいと思いました。

We participated as a three-generation family. My mother is elderly, and my child has no surfing experience, so this time we tried surfing as an activity. Both of them were thrilled to ride the waves for the first time. I highly recommend it!

家族3世代で参加しました。母は高齢だし、子はサーフィン経験なしなので、今回はこのアクティビティで波乗り体験をしました。二人とも初めて波に乗って大喜びしてました。オススメです！

During the time I stayed, the sunset was positioned more to the right, making it difficult to see from Waikiki due to buildings obstructing the view. However, on this cruise, I was able to see the sunset beautifully! It was a wonderful experience.

私が滞在した時期はサンセットが右寄りに見えるため、ワイキキからは建物などで遮られて見えづらい時期でした。でもこのクルーズだときれいにサンセットが見られました！とても良い経験でした。

Flying one hour to a volcano that isn't active isn't worth the effort, time or money. We also saw 2 waterfalls, a lava tunnel, a lava field and Hilo, the town with the airport and closest to the volcano park. But again all not worth the time, effort and money to go. Our guide, Dexter was good but he can't make up for the missing attractions.

Until last year, I participated in sailing with other companies. During my stay at Hilton Grand Waikikian, the schedule was good, so I chose the Aloha sailing departing from in front of the Hilton. The weather was clear, and the crew was cheerful and friendly, making for a fun time. I would like to participate again next year.

昨年までは他社のセーリングに参加していました。ヒルトングランドワイキキアンでの滞在で日程も良く、ヒルトン前の出航のアロハ号のセーリングを選びました。
天気も快晴でクルーも明るくにこやかで楽しい一時を過ごせました。
来年も参加したいと思います。

I would recommend the sand bar trip to everyone coming to the island, from the minute you step onto the boat,the lovely food,fantastic crew,information and spotting the turtles and rays in the ocean.
My mum as mobility issues and the crew were always on hand to ask and offer help and assistance, Sasha and eggy ( William) I think went up and beyond, especially with photos and handing out snorkels etc.
Both mum and myself said it was the best trip of our holidays.
Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing.

We left our hotel in Waikiki early and arrived in about 50 minutes. The place we got off at was locked, and upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit different, so we walked a bit further and found a sign that said "Check-In," where we waited. However, even when the meeting time came, they didn't arrive for quite a while and showed up 10 minutes later. The explanation was only in English, and I could only understand a little through gestures. At first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, I was able to enjoy horseback riding while feeling the North Shore breeze.

I was fine, but a foreign participant with us seemed to have some issues. My husband said his butt hurt. It was a valuable experience.

早めにワイキキのホテルを出発したところ50分くらいで着きました。降りたところが鍵がかかっており、よーく見てみるとちょっと違ってたので、先の方に行ってみるとチェックインと書いてあったので、そこで待っていました。しかし集合時間になってもなかなか来ず10分後にきました。説明は英語のみで身振り手振りで何となくしかわからない状態で出発。最初は怖かったですが慣れるとノースショアの風を感じながら、気持ちよく乗馬出来ました。
私は何ともなかったのですが、一緒に参加した外国の方はまたズレ？してました。主人は、お尻が痛いと言ってました。貴重な経験が出来ました。

Very welcoming, the drinks were a plus! Best experience our family had on our trip to wakiki beach! The crew was amazing and funny with great personalities! I am scared of water and with this snorkeling adventure they made us feel very safe!

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.

Great experience, live music, pleasant staff, great views!

We had a great experience touring Lanai! We feel that we really got to see the whole island on our tour. We visited Lanai City, Shipwreck Beach, Garden of the Gods, the Cat Sanctuary, and stopped for beautiful photo opps around the island. Our guide, Russ, was amazing, and really went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. I would highly recommend!

We had an amazing time. Our boat captain and crew were informative, interactive, and friendly. The views were breathtaking and we thoroughly enjoyed our snorkeling adventure as well! 10 out of 10!! This is a must do while in Kauai!!

I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!

高所恐怖症の私ですが、みなさんの感想やYouTubeの映像で予習していったおかげで当日は本当に楽しめました！！
ただ！！私達の英語力が無かったのでしょうがないですが、こちらで予約した内容は一切無視
もう1人カメラマンが飛んで撮影するプランがあるよ！もっと高く飛べるプランがあるよ！と日本人を狙って営業してきます
初心者なのに酸素マスク付きの最高度まであがるプランとなり大誤算でしたお気をつけください！
でもとっても楽しかったです！！
