All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Scheduled this event as a large group visiting HI for the first time. We all had a blast. The boat ride to the snorkeling locations was fun. We saw a lot of fish and a few sea turtles. The waters are choppy, so if your prone to motion sickness, come prepared. All snorkel gear was provided. Overall, a fun experience.

This was our 3rd time on this boat. The crew and musicians are the best around and always make it a great experience. I highly recommend this trip to all that are looking for a fun adventure in one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

The staff was fun and kept us all in good spirits!
Not everyone in my party was comfortable in the water but the staff came around and kept checking on them until they relaxed.
The sight of the Mantas was unbelievable!!!
Thanks Iruka!!!!

very disappointed! $140 is way too much. We also paid extra $20 for lunch - and only got a sandwich with 2 pieces of pineapple - I mean this is a SNACK not a Lunch actually..

We were also only allowed to kayak in a certain tiny room. So we basically drove in circles and could not explor the beautiful sandbar - wow. So It would be cheaper if we had rent the kayak by our own!!

Too expensive - would rather pay the half of the price or less, but definitely not more!

It was an amazing experience on the 5 hour tour with SeaQuest. We got to see a lot of diverse marine life while snorkeling in the reefs and got a tour of the lava tubes and caves along the way. Would highly recommend! Our guide and crew were great.

The drinks are all-you-can-drink, but there are no restrooms, so I couldn't drink much. After the fireworks at night, the night view of the sea is beautiful, but it got a bit chilly, so it's better to have a jacket. ^_^

飲み物は飲み放題ですが、トイレがないので、あまり飲めなかったです。
夜の花火の後は、夜の海で夜景は綺麗だけど、少し肌寒くなってきたので、上着があった方が良いです^_^

Gliding on a Segway until sunset on the last day of my stay in Hawaii! After practicing in the spacious parking lot of the small Segway center shop, we headed into the city! From Kaka'ako to Magic Island Beach at Ala Moana. Then, we glided along the coast to a hill where we could see the setting sun, passing through the park. We covered quite a distance on the Segway! It was a fulfilling final day in Hawaii!!

ハワイの最終宿泊の日のサンセットまでの時間をセグウェイで滑走！
セグウェイセンターの小さいショップの広い駐車場で練習後に街中へ！
カカアコからアラモアナのマジックアイランドビーチへ。その後沈み行く太陽が見える丘へ海沿いを滑走して、公園を通り。　かなりの移動距離をセグウェイで！満喫のハワイ最終日でした！！

What a great experience! The crew were professional, fun and knowledgeable.

We participated as a family of four (with a middle schooler and an elementary school student).

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews and no Japanese guide, but it was more fun than I imagined, and the kids were very satisfied!

The tour lasted about two and a half hours and was divided into three main sections:
- A flat road where we could drive about 40 km
- A bumpy road through the jungle
- A course within a playground with steep ups and downs
Each section offered a different kind of enjoyment.

Good points:
- The drive through the vast scenery was cool and pleasant.
- The bumpy road was fun like a roller coaster.
- The guide was very kind.
- Even if you're not good at English, they speak slowly, so it's understandable.
- There are instructions in Japanese.
- The water and juice provided during the tour were cold and delicious.
- We received photos and videos from the tour via AirDrop.

Bad points:
- While driving, the guide explains Hawaii's history through a walkie-talkie, but if you're not good at English, it's hard to understand over the walkie-talkie...
- Tips can only be paid in cash, not by card.
- Transportation to the North Shore is necessary.

Before participating, I wondered if it was necessary to go to the mountains instead of the beach in Hawaii, but I think it was the right decision to join! It was really fun.

参加するまでは、ハワイまで来て海じゃなくて山行く必要ある？とも思ってましたが、参加して正解だったと思いました！
本当に楽しかったです。

An amazing experience with an incredible setting combined with great food and drink plus an awesome show. If you plan on going to a luau while visiting Hawaii this is the one to go to. Not at all a commercial tourist trap.

We had a wonderful time!, My son really enjoyed it. Staff was very nice. We got to see turtles had amazing Snorkeling experience.

Set along the ocean in historic downtown, it is the best one to experience a slice of Maui’s history. Great food and even better staff. Worth every penny.
Even had exclusive beer from Maui Brewing. They are also giving a share of the cost to help rebuild, very cool.

It was really cold. I couldn't stay in the sea for even five minutes. The wind was strong, and the weather wasn't good.
I heard from relatives in Kaneohe that summer weather has a cycle, and during our time, there were just a few days with a lot of wind, clouds, and showers.
It seems that the sandbar is not often visible; we couldn't see it at all this time. The water was up to my chest, and the waves were strong. When I got on the free kayak, I was swept away immediately, and it was scary.
If possible, I would like to make a reservation while checking the weather on-site.
The crew members were very kind and warm. My mother had a hard time with seasickness, but we are grateful for their heartfelt support.

とにかく寒かった。寒くて5分も海にいられない。風も強い。天候よくなかった。
カネオヘ在の親戚に、夏の天気はサイクルがあって私達の時はちょうど風があり曇とシャワーが多い数日間だったようです。。。
サンドバー、なかなかみられないようです、
この時は全く見られなかった。海水が胸まであり波も強く、無料のカヤックに乗ったら、すぐに流され、怖かったです。
できるなら、現地で天気見ながら申し込みしたい。
船の方々はとても親切で暖かいです。母が酔い大変でしたが、心温まる対応していただき感謝しております。

Family trip to Hawaii for three
We signed up for this tour after our daughter said, "I want to ride a horse."
After a brief five-minute video in Japanese explaining how to ride a horse, the tour started right away.
In addition to us, there was a couple, making a total of five people in the group.
With an experienced guide, we rode through the bush on horseback.
For us, who are not good at English, it was helpful that the guide mixed in Japanese with instructions like "left, right, please stop."
There were ups and downs along the way, and our horse worked hard to climb, making it a thrilling experience.
Especially when we enjoyed horseback riding amidst breathtaking scenery, it felt like we were in a scene from a Hollywood movie.
Participating in this tour created truly wonderful memories for us.
We are sincerely grateful.

家族３人のハワイ旅行
娘の「馬に乗ってみたい」という一言でこのツアーに申し込みました。
日本語による簡単なビデオで、5分ほどで馬の乗り方のレクチャーを受けた後、早速ツアーがスタート。
私たちのほかにカップル（２人）と計５人のグループ
経験豊富なガイドさんと共に、馬に乗ってブッシュの中を進んで行きました。
英語が苦手な私たちには、「左、右、止まってください」と日本語も交えてくださり助かりました。
道中にはアップダウンもあり、お馬さんが頑張って登ってくれて、スリル満点の体験となりました。
特に、息をのむような絶景の中で乗馬を楽しんだ時は、まるでハリウッド映画のワンシーンの中にいるかのような気分でした。
このツアーに参加できて、本当に素晴らしい思い出ができました。
心から感謝しております。

Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform

Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

I love dolphins and was thinking about them all the time, but I found out just before my trip to Hawaii that I could see manta rays, and I really wanted to see them! So, I made a reservation.
My father has difficulty seeing, and since it was at night, I was very worried. However, thanks to the person who corresponded with me via email beforehand and especially the support from Tamae on the day of the tour, my family, including my father, had an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.
From the moment I peered into the water, manta rays came to us in droves, and I was so excited! I was mesmerized by their graceful swimming. After the tour ended, our family couldn't stop talking about the manta rays.
I also can't forget the sunset we saw from the boat and the magical sky when I turned around while watching the manta rays.
There were many worries, but they provided solid support, so I hope those who are anxious will definitely consider joining.
I'm sure a wonderful experience awaits you!!!♡

イルカが大好きでイルカのことばかり考えていましたが笑、マンタが見られることをハワイ渡航の直前に知り、ぜひ見たい！！！！と思い、予約しました。
私の父は目が見えずらく、夜の海ということもありとても心配していましたが、事前にメール対応をしてくださった方と、何より当日のたまえさんのサポートのおかげで、父を含めて家族みんなで一生心に残る最高の体験をすることができました。
海の中を覗いた瞬間から、マンタがたくさんきてくれて大興奮！優雅に泳ぐ姿にうっとりしました。ツアーが終わった後から、私たちの家族はマンタの話題で持ちきりです。笑
船から見えた夕陽と、マンタを見てるときにふと後ろを振り返った時の幻想的な空も忘れられません。
色々と不安なことも多かったですが、しっかりとサポートしてくれるので、不安な方もぜひ参加してみて欲しいです。
きっと素敵な体験が待っているはずです！！！♡

The view was something else, let me tell. Cruising the coast and seeing the unique geographical features was amazing. I don't know I've ever seen anything like this. The host and crew was super informative and helpful. They even provided and took care of my GF who was starting to feel seasick. They were well-equipped to host everyone, not to mention that they were pretty entertaining and funny. I highly recommend!

The trip was comfortable and pleasant. The staff were helpful and friendly. Arrive early. They are prompt.

The ferry was comfortable despite rough seas. Staff were helpful and friendly. Arrive early to make sure you get on the ship. They are prompt.

We got the private boat and did the sandbar tour & I can’t recommend this enough! We played at the sandbar, toured the waters and got to see turtles & manta rays! Captain Jeff was helpful, fun & informative, the snacks were tasty and the boat was clean and in great condition. Do this tour!! You won’t regret it! It was the highlight of our trip and the best excursion I have ever done in Hawaii! My husband enjoyed it so much he wanted to do it again but we couldn’t book during the rest of our stay because they were sold out!.

Couldn't get tickets for Hanauma Bay, so chose this instead. Sent two 30-somethings on the excursion. They loved it! Saw several large turtles and lots of fish. Leaving off the beach is a plus since we were already laying out there. short and sweet and easy!

Perfect ending to a great vacation. The water was perfect. The guides were amazing. The views were awesome. Lunch was good. Loved the tunnels. 7 miles of lazy river. I could have done this every day of our trip because we enjoyed it so much. Definitely on the ticket to do again if we ever come back.

We had so much fun riding our UTVs. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and it was definitely our favorite activity from our trip to Hawaii. We had worn clothes that could get muddy (as we read in the description) but we had no mud, in fact it was a little dusty. This is all just dependent on weather. We would do this again if we go back to Oahu.

I participated in a family-only tour guided in English by a driver for about three hours! Our family consists of four people, including two children, and we were able to ride the four-wheeler comfortably. We took commemorative photos at several recommended spots by the driver, and there were breaks for restroom use and cold water along the way. The driver was very kind, and although we didn't make any specific requests, the recommended points were all fantastic. While driving, we had a great time talking about filming locations used in movies and TV dramas. Above all, the breeze while driving was very pleasant, and since we were in the forest, we could smell various plants and the scent of the woods.

In the last hour, we had a tree planting experience with the Strong Tree. This involved planting seedlings prepared for my younger child's (third grader) independent study project, but it was still a very good experience. The driver explained everything in English while we were planting. We were able to plant a very precious tree for Oahu, and it felt great to contribute to the island as a family.

However, sitting for a long time and the presence of unpaved roads might be tough for those who are prone to motion sickness. The price is also quite significant. Nevertheless, since our children are at the right age and my husband and I still have the stamina, we are very satisfied with the experience.

約3時間のドライバーさんが英語で案内してくれる家族だけのツアーに参加しました！
我が家は子供二人の四人家族で四輪バギーもゆったりと乗ることができました。何か所かドライバーさんのおすすめポイントで記念撮影をし、途中でおトイレ休憩や冷たいお水の提供もありました。とても優しいドライバーさんで、こちらのリクエストはしなかったものの、おすすめポイントはどこでも最高でした。運転しながらも、映画やテレビドラマで使用した撮影場所などのトークでとても盛り上がりました。何よりも、運転中の風がとても気持ちよく、森の中なので色々な植物や森の匂いを嗅ぐことができました。
ラスト1時間で、ストロング・ツリーの植樹体験をしました。これは、下の子（小学3年生）の自由研究の為に（笑）用意された苗を植えるだけでしたが、それでもとても良い体験になりました。植える時も、英語で説明してくれました。オアフ島にとってはとても貴重な木を植えることができ、家族で少しでもオアフ島に貢献できたことがとても良い体験になりました。
ただ、やはり、座っていますし、舗装されてない道もあったりで車酔いがある方は辛い面もあるかと思います。お値段もかなりのものです。ですが、子供が適齢であり、私達夫婦もまだ体力がある日数のうちに行けたので、満足度は高いです。

When I arrived at the counter at the scheduled time, a very pleasant woman assisted me. She spoke a little Japanese, but primarily in English. While we waited for our departure, she engaged my child by talking about the crabs and fish, which was nice. I really enjoyed the parasailing experience! The view from 150 meters above the sea was a rare experience that only those who fly can see. I rated it ⭐︎4 because two men on the boat were a bit too businesslike and I thought they could have been more enthusiastic, but I definitely recommend trying parasailing! I put my smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around my neck with a strap, capturing the views and videos from above. If you're comfortable letting go with one hand, it makes for a great memory!

予定時間にカウンターへ行くと、とても感じの良い女性が受付してくれました。言葉は少し日本語が混ざりますが、基本英語です。出発するまでの待ち時間にもカニや魚がいるよと子供に話しかけてくれて、良かったです。パラセーリング自体もとても楽しめました！150mからの海の上の景色は、飛んだ人にしか見れない、とても貴重な経験でした。ボートに一緒に乗っていた男性2人が、事務的な感じで「もう少し盛り上げてくれても良いのに」と思ったので、⭐︎4にしましたが、パラセーリングはぜひ経験して欲しいと思います！スマホを防水ケースに入れて、ストラップで首から下げて、上からの景色や動画も撮りました。片手を離しても大丈夫！という方は良い記念になります。

Everything was so wonderful! Food was AMAZING! Service was OUTSTANDING! The show was BEAUTIFUL! We had the best time and would highly recommend you go and experience this!

Had a good time in a group of different ages from teens to 40s! Recommend!

I had a pleasant experience with my family. I would book again with them .

I took a taxi near the Hilton, but it took some time to find the small ticket booth at the designated location. However, the receptionist was very kind. I arrived earlier than the scheduled time but had to wait. There were ten people at a time, and it was just the four of us along with three foreign couples. We went out to sea by boat, and once the ropes were set, we were able to go parasailing one after another. They helped us with the belt setup inside the boat, and when we flew, we could either land in the water up to our bottoms and be brought back to the boat or just get our toes wet and be lowered into the boat, so my upper body didn’t get wet at all. I didn’t have a change of clothes, so I changed at Ala Moana. You can bring a change bag onto the boat. Since there were four of us in the family and the child is in elementary school, we did it in groups of three. It was special because the child was able to go twice in a row, and they were very satisfied.

I challenged my son to skydiving for the first time. It's a lifelong memory. I haven't told my son, but I was scared—I'm glad we did it on impulse.

初めてのスカイダイビングを息子とチャレンジ
一生の思い出です。ただ　息子には言ってませんが怖かったー勢いでやれて良かった
