All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We took a small boat to the snorkeling point, where we were guided and given various explanations along the way.

It's important to be careful not to hit the coral. I was pointed out a few times.

The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time underwater while taking in the scenery.

I was glad I brought my own snorkeling gear, but if you don't have your own, you will have to use the rental equipment. Since it's something that goes in your mouth, I thought it was better to bring my own.

小型船で、シュノーケルポイントまで向かい、ポイントまで案内してもらいながらいろいろ説明をしてもらいました。

サンゴに当たらないように注意が必要です。何回か指摘を食らいました。

海はとてもきれいで景色を楽しみながらゆっくりした時間を海の中で過ごせました。

シュノーケルグッズを自前で持って行ったので良かったですが、もっていかないと貸し出しのものになります。口に入れるものなので、持っていった良いと思いました。

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Fireworks lasted for a decent amount of time. Boat ride was very bumpy, but it was also my first time on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect, also sat at the front of the boat, which probably didn't help.

Since I was staying at Hilton, the meeting place was close, making it easy to participate.

The breeze felt special on the boat, it was pleasant, and the scenery was amazing! I was very satisfied to encounter a honu (sea turtle).

ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所も近くて、気軽に参加できました。

船で感じる風は特別で、気持ちよく、景色も最高！
ホヌにも出会えて、大満足でした。

I didn't expect to line up for tickets on the day instead of making a reservation online. However, since I was able to go as planned, I am mostly satisfied.

Considering the timing, it was just right to have an 11 AM pickup with my 6 and 9-year-old children. The person in charge provided various explanations and guidance throughout the car ride. Other Japanese guests were using translation apps, but since I didn't use one, I only understood parts of the conversation. I wish I had downloaded the app. My children had a very enjoyable time and it seems to have left a lasting impression on them. They said they want to go see the fish again.

ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。

- We participated as a family of four: two adults and two children (ages 9 and 6).
- It's better to have at least a basic level of English conversation skills.
- We had the same driver for both trips. We gave a tip after getting off on the return trip.
- It was a bit chilly when we got to the beach, possibly due to the slightly bad weather. The children were shivering.
- Although we saw many fish in the shallow waters just a few meters from the beach, it wasn't very impressive.

・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

It was a great tour, our guide was so informative and fun, I would recomend this tour 100%

(About the meeting place)
It was noted that we should arrive 30 minutes early, but I was a bit late. I mistakenly got off at the wrong bus stop and dashed over, but even being 2-3 minutes late didn’t seem to matter much.
*Since it’s a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I recommend allowing extra time.

(At the reception)
A girl in her late teens assisted me without checking any documents. After confirming my name on a tablet, I wrote my name in two places on the confirmation document and waited about 20 minutes on a bench. She was very pleasant. She warned me to be careful as the bench was hot from the sun.
*It might be a good idea to bring a pet bottle since there’s no supermarket nearby and there’s little shade where you wait.

(About the boat)
It’s a smaller boat that takes about 10-15 minutes to head out to sea.
*At first, it goes slowly, but midway it picks up speed unexpectedly, causing the boat to rock quite a bit, so I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication. Even holding onto the boat’s ramp, your body can feel weightless. In front of us, a boy who looked like he was in elementary school seemed to have gotten seasick, as he returned pale and lethargic.

(About luggage and photos)
There’s a hole under the boat seats where you’re instructed to put all your belongings. You can take out your phone to take photos and videos during the ride, but since it gets quite bumpy, it might be better to take them at the beginning.

(About parasailing)
You put on the equipment and life jacket and wait your turn. There are two people, one who operates the equipment and another who explains how to put it on. The person explaining was humorous and spoke to us in Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy. When they realized there were Japanese people, they spoke in Japanese after English, which was very kind of them.

Even a child in our group who seemed scared at first got used to it once we were up, and when they came down, they looked like they had a lot of fun, so I think it’s fine.

The only scary parts were getting out to sea on the boat and the moment of going up, but once you’re up, it’s totally fine! I was amazed by the blue of the ocean.

After going up, you can touch the sea. They take a lot of photos while you’re going up and coming down, so if you have time, you might want to pose.

(After finishing)
After it was over, they asked if I wanted to purchase the photos. They were a bit pricey, but I bought them as a keepsake. It was convenient as the photos were immediately available by connecting to a computer.

Since my body was wet, I walked for about 3 minutes to Waikiki Beach and swam right away.

（待ち合わせ場所について）
30分前には必着と注意書きにありましたが
少し遅れてしまいました。
バス停を一つ間違えてダッシュしましたが
2.3分遅れても、あまり気にしてない感じでした。
※バス停から少し歩くので余裕を持って行った方が
　良いと思います。

（受付）
女の子（10代後半位）が対応してくれて
書類も確認なしで、タブレットで名前確認をしたら
確認書類に名前を2箇所書いて、
20分くらいベンチで待ちました。
とても感じのいい子でした。
ベンチが日差しで暑いから気をつけてと言ってくれました。
※ペットバトル1本は持参した方が良いかも
（近くにスーパーがない、待つ所は日陰が少ない）

（船について）
小さめの船で10〜15分で、
沖の方に連れて行ってくれます。
※序盤はゆっくりだが、中盤からスピードが思いの外でて、船が上下してだいぶ揺れるので酔い止めは必ず飲むべきだと思います。
船のスロープをもっていても体が浮きます。
自分達の前の組で小学生位の男の子が、
恐らく酔ったのか、顔が青ざめてぐったりして帰ってきてました。

（荷物•写真などついて）
船の椅子の下に穴が空いてるのでそこに荷物全部入れるように指示があります。
携帯途中出して写真や動画撮影OKですが、揺れが強くなるので撮るなら最初の方に撮ったほうがいいかも。

（パラセーリングについて）

器具とライフジャケットをつけて順番を待ちます。
操縦してくれる人と説明器具装着をしてくれる人
２人で、説明•器具装着の人はユーモア交えて日本語で話しかけてくれるので安心して楽しめました。
日本人がいると分かると、英語の後日本語で話してくれるのでとても優しかったです。

同じグループの小学生位の子でも、最初は怖がっていたけどいざ上がったら慣れるので降りてきたら
とても楽しそうにしてたので大丈夫だと思います。


怖いのは船で沖に出るまでと、上に上がる瞬間位で
いざ上がれば全然平気でした！
海の青さに感動しました。

一度上まで上がった後、海につけられます。
上に上がるまでと降りるまで写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、余裕があればポーズとってもいいかも

（終了後）

終わったら、写真を購入するか？ときかれます。
少し高いですが、記念で買いました。
パソコンから線を繋いですぐに写真が入るので便利でした。

体が濡れてたので、右の方に徒歩3分くらいでワイキキビーチにいけるのでそのまま泳ぎました。

We had the most amazing night doing the luau and show. The hospitality was so beautiful, it was the best activity we did in waikiki. We travelled from New Zealand and appreciated how they sang us a maori song. The show was outstanding, we could not fault one thing. Thank you for the amazing time and showing us your beautiful culture.

Me and 3 friends came here and were blown away. The food was absolutely stunning and the entertainment was unreal. We travelled from New Zealand and were serenaded with a special maori (native language of NZ) song. The hospitality was just beautiful and the show was super fun!! Would recommend this over any other ones.

Cousin Dave from Roberts Hawaii our tour guide was great, has an awesome sense of humour.
Visiting a Kona Coffee house, trying the different types of Kona coffee was educational. Also the macadamia fruit cake samples yummy .
The sacred refuge of Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park so peaceful. Standing on the black sand beachfront beautiful.
Next stop was St Benedict’s Painted Church dating back to 1899, still standing and used for mass. Stunning.

Do yourself a favour by not missing this awesome natural spectacle that is Waimea Canyon if you’re visiting Kaua’i.
The vastness, colours and wildlife are extraordinary.
Wailea River Cruise was average. Staff on the barge were friendly and polite, like all Hawaiian people we have met. But their attempt at humour was off, but more importantly not even close to being funny. The main female host tried sharing information/history along the river, but kept making mistakes and forgetting what she was saying!
Fern Grotto, was disappointing, not only because you can no longer enter the cave due to safety, but I’ve seen better natural amphitheatres.
Still worth seeing as it’s part of the package.
Our tour guide Leonme from Roberts Hawaii Tours was awesome. Very funny, very informative.

Our guide for the tour was Grover. What a wonderful, knowledgeable kind man.
Volcano National Park is beautiful and lush with an abundance of plant life. Stunning scenery of the volcano and caldera.
Learnt so much about volcanoes, how they have formed, how they behave with earth tremors/quakes, eruptions and the that island continues to grow because of them.
Grover spoiled us by taking us to a couple unplanned locations such as the Lava Tubes, Rainbow Falls and Steam Vents
Highly recommend this tour and especially if you’re lucky enough to have Grover as your tour guide.

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s a really terrible experience OR an AWESOME ONE! Let me just start by saying my group & I did this on Thursday and we booked to go back on Saturday!!! That’s how amazing the crew and the experience was! Worth every penny.
We had an 8 yr old and she was able to enjoy the water too it’s deff kid friendly.
You can take your cooler with beer, drinks and snacks. The water is crystal clear and only like 3-4 ft tall. Take cash to tip the crew and live band, they’re ALL so awesome!!

Everyone involved were fantastic. The crew on the boat were unreal and hilarious. Would highly recommend. Great bunch of people.

Very well organized , all personnel very friendly and knowledgeable, very intense and cultural .
buffet was great .

At the beginning of April, there are still rainy days. On the day of the tour at Kualoa Ranch, it rained all day. I was able to enjoy the bus tour to some extent. It would have been better if there had been a tour in Japanese since all the explanations were in English.

4月の初めはまだ雨の日がある。クアロアランチの当日は終日雨。
バスでのツアーのためにそれなりに楽しめました。説明はすべて英語のために日本語でのツアーがあればもっと良かった。

This tour is a lot of fun as you can really feel like you're abroad, with all the other guests being foreigners. On the day of the tour, we were told it would be the best day ever, and when we arrived, we saw 5 to 6 turtles sleeping on the ocean floor, which was a sight I had never seen before. Of course, there were also many turtles swimming around, and during snorkeling, it was filled with turtles. I was surprised to see so many turtles in Waikiki.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed a cruise while listening to famous international songs, taking in views of Waikiki hotels and Diamond Head. We raised the sails and sped up, enjoying a leisurely time with a pleasant breeze.

Don't forget to bring tips!

私たち以外全て外国人のお客様なので、海外にいることを感じられ、とても楽しめるツアーです。当日、今日は最高の一日になる、との説明があり、期待して行くと、カメが海底でくっついて5～6匹寝ており、こんな光景は初めてでした。勿論、泳いでいるカメも何匹もいて、シュノーケル最中はカメだらけでした。こんなにもワイキキにカメがいるとは驚きでした。
シュノーケル後は、海外の有名な曲を聴きながら、ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング。帆を上げてスピードアップをしながら、心地よい風と共にゆっくり過ごしました。
チップを忘れないで持っていって下さい。

We loved the plane ride, checking in was smooth, they took pictures of us with the plane which was nice, and the employee and pilot were very friendly and helpful. We booked last minute but we felt welcomed nonetheless. The plane ride had a smooth take off and landing. And of course, the view was so amazing along with the pilot telling us all about Kauai!

We tried ATV and Jurassic park,
Beautiful sceneries and fun movie settings.
Great day out for both of us.

This is a university that I always rely on.

It's a fun activity.

Please note that bananas are not allowed to be brought in!

いつもお世話になる大学です

楽しいアクティビティです

バナナは持ち込み出来ないので注意してくださいね！！

I was told there would be an English guide, but they used simple Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it without any problems. I'm glad I could try parasailing in Hawaii for the first time! The ocean was beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly. They took a lot of photos for me (for $40), creating the best memories! I got more seasick than I expected, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be careful.

英語案内ということでしたが、片言の日本語を使ってくれたので特に問題なく楽しめました。
初めてのパラセーリングをハワイでできて良かったと思います！
海が綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見えて、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて（40ドル）最高の思い出です！
思ったより船酔いしたので、酔いやすい方はご注意です。

I love Jurassic Park and have always wanted to visit this place. It all started when the theme song began to play on the bus! It was an English tour, but I always choose English tours no matter the country, and I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere with the other international guests. The guide was also proactive in taking photos, which made me, as a solo tour participant, very happy!

This tour is a must for both movie lovers and nature enthusiasts when visiting Hawaii.

ジュラシックパーク大好きでずっと行ってみたかった場所へ
バスの中であのテーマソングが流れ始めた所からスタート！！
英語ツアーでしたが、私はどこの国でも英語ツアーにしていて周りの外人さん達の和気あいあいな雰囲気が大好きです。
ガイドさんも率先して撮影して頂き、1人ツアー参加の私には本当に嬉しかったです！

大自然と撮影地、映画好きの方にも自然好きの方にもハワイへ来たら是非参加して欲しいツアーでした。

It was my first time parasailing. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful—absolutely amazing! The boat ride was full of thrills. I want to do it again!

初めてのパラセイリングでした
天気も良く、海もキレイ最高でした
ボートもスリル満点
また、やりたい‼️

Very interesting, we love history and felt very humbled by the entire experience!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but there was a wide variety of drinks, and I enjoyed the humorous announcements as well.

あいにくお天気よくなかったんですが、ドリンクも豊富でしたし、ユーモアたっぷりなアナウンスも楽しみました。

The SUP was enjoyable for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and parents alike! We were thrilled to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The staff were all very friendly. It was a good decision to bring a waterproof case for my smartphone!

サップは、中学生も高校生も親も楽しめました！シュノーケリングではウミガメを見られてテンションが上がりました。
スタッフもみんな親切でした。
スマホの防水ケースを持って行って正解でしたー。

There were other ships participating, but this was my first time. I got the impression that it was a solid company, as I checked in at the counter of the cruise company located in the hotel and went over the liability waiver. The sunset finally began on the return trip, offering a different impression from the outbound journey. They mentioned unlimited drinks, but I didn't particularly like the taste of the free drinks and couldn't finish one. Beer and champagne are available for an additional charge. Occasionally, there were large waves, so the ship had its unique rocking motion. I saw someone who couldn't move due to seasickness, so I think it's better for those who are really sensitive to have motion sickness medication. In any case, I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a luxurious 90 minutes of doing nothing.

他の船での参加はありましたたが、こちらは初めて。ホテル内にある船会社のカウンターでチェックインを受け免責についてチェックをするなどしっかりした会社という印象。サンセットは復路からようやく始まり、往路とはまた違った印象が味わえます。飲み放題とのことですが、無料のドリンクの味はあまり好みではなく１杯飲みきれず、ビールやシャンパンは別料金です。時々大きな波がくるため船独特の揺れはあります。船酔いで動けなくなった方がいたので本当に弱い方は酔い止めがあったほうが良いと思います。とにかく９０分、何もしない贅沢な時間を味わいたい方におすすめです。

I thought it was a great plan to combine Diamond Head and Makapu'u Trail, allowing us to make effective use of our time. We hiked as a couple in our 60s, and there were no dangerous areas. It wasn't crowded, and everyone was well-mannered, allowing us to navigate the narrow spots by yielding to each other. You can enjoy a sense of unity with nature while listening to the birds chirping. The last stairs at Diamond Head are a bit tough, but that’s what makes it rewarding. The view of Honolulu and the ocean from the mountain is truly beautiful. This was my second time on Makapu'u Trail, and I couldn't forget the coastal views, so I decided to join again. At first, you might think the gradual slope is boring, but once you turn the first curve, the amazing scenery begins, so please be patient and keep climbing. The paved path is easy to walk on, but there’s no place to avoid direct sunlight, so a hat, rash guard, and water are essential. Next time, I definitely want to see whales, so I hope to join in the winter.

ダイヤモンドヘッドとマカプウトレイルがセットになっているので、時間を有効活用できるよいプランだと思いました。６０代夫婦で登りましたが、危険なエリアもなく、混んでいなかったこともありますがみなさんマナーが良く、狭いところは譲り合いながら進むことができました。鳥のさえずりを聞きながら自然との一体感が味わえます。ダイヤモンドヘッドはラストの階段が少しきついですがだからこその達成感。山から見るホノルルの町と海は本当に美しいです。マカプウトレイルは２度目ですが岸壁の海の景色が忘れられず参加しました。初めはだらだらとした坂でつまらないと思うかもしれませんが、初めのカープを曲がったところから素晴らしい景色が始まりますので、根気よく登ってください。舗装されて道路で歩きやすいのですが、直射日光を避けるところがないため、帽子とラッシュガード、水は必須です。次回はぜひクジラが見たいので冬に参加したいです。

This is my third time participating. I'm not a strong swimmer, but with goggles and a life jacket, I won't sink. The guide is very attentive, so there's little chance of getting lost or getting into dangerous situations. There were families with small babies, but the guide was very helpful, even carrying them, ensuring everyone could enjoy safely. The weather was calm, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly, creating wonderful memories. You can return in your swimsuit, but it's better to bring a change of clothes as you might get cold. There is a small restroom, so I went up a bit early and changed inside while it was still empty. There were spam rice balls, snacks, juice, and warm drinks, allowing us to take breaks and enjoy without pressure. I would like to participate again next time. Thank you very much.

今回で3回目の参加です。泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、ゴーグルとライフジャケットがあるので、まず沈むことはありません。ガイドさんがしっかりとガードしてくれているので、はぐれたり危険なことに巻き込まれることはまずないです。小さな赤ちゃん連れのご家族もいましたが、ガイドさんが抱っこするなど協力的で全員が安全に楽しめるよう素晴らしい働きぶりでした。天候も穏やか、ウミガメもしっかり見ることができ素晴らしい思い出となりました。水着のままでも帰れますが、体が冷えるので替えは持参した方がいいです。狭いですがトイレが1つありますので、私は少し先に上がりすいているうちに中で着替えました。スパムのおにぎり、スナック菓子、ジュースに温かい飲み物もあり無理せず休憩を入れながら楽しむことができます。また次回も参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

It was very cold. I was looking forward to breakfast at the Claw Lodge as mentioned somewhere, but unexpectedly, it was at the Maui Plantation...

とても寒かったです。朝食はクラロッヂとどこかに記載があったので、期待していましたが、まさかのマウイプランテーション・・・
