All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We were not disappointed, thank you whales for splashing around and having fun on the water with us!!

What a morning, more than you think when you think of river tubing, they have a great pathing set out on this traiL!

Authentic experience, the crew really goes extra to explain hawaiian histories!

Paired this with the luau and a great way to start the evening at Smiths!

beautiful colorful hawaiian fish, and awesome sea cave day!

Hanauma Bay was a really great and fun experience. It's an early activity but the water isn't too bad, as it's quite easy to warmup in the ocean. The ride to Hanauma Bay from our pick-up location was prompt and comfortable and that genuinely enhanced the experience. The driver, Orlando, was very kind and informative.

This was the best vehicle experience I've had in Hawaii!
First of all, driving the 4WD was really fun!
There were various types of terrain, and we drove on slippery surfaces and off-road paths, which is quite an experience that you can't easily have in Japan!
Moreover, the stunning nature and the lively narration by our guide Kioki (I think his American name was Johnny) made the history of Hawaii come alive, and his precise driving support truly enhanced the experience!
Having lived in America for about 10 years, I didn't have any language barriers, but if you don't understand English, you might miss out on about 30% of the fun. Still, I think it's a tour worth participating in!
Also, be prepared to get covered in mud and dust! (laughs)

今までのハワイの乗り物体験で最高でした！
まずは、四駆のDriveは本当に面白い！
色々な路面があり、スリッピーな路面や道なき道も走って、なかなか日本ではできない体験！
そして、豪快な自然となんといっても案内人のキオキ(アメリカ名ジョニーだったかな)さんの軽快な語りでハワイの歴史や的確なドライビングのサポートで本当に楽しまさせていただきました！
　私はアメリカにも10年ほど住んでいたので、言葉の面で不便はありませんが、もし　英語がわからないと楽しさは30%減かもしれませんがそれでも参加すべきツアーだと思いました！
　あと泥水や土ほこりをしっかりかぶりますので覚悟しておいてください(笑)

The Na Pali coast tour was amazing, the views were incredible and the captain and crew were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and skilled in maneuvering the boat into sea caves and along the coast.

We went with the family, including two kids (5 &7 yo) and everyone loved the tour.

The snorkeling was also a highlight and the crew had all the gear to make it safe and fun.

Our lunch was also very yummy!

And as a bonus we saw some dolphins that jumped and flipped out of the water for us, and also a sea turtle.

We could not think of anything that could have been better.

This was my second time on the Mana Kai Catamaran. First time was doing the sea turtle snorkeling tour. It was fun being able to watch the sunset and see Diamond Head and the city from the ocean. The staff were very friendly and amazing. Was also fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the water! I definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

Absolutely amazing day of breath taking beauty, whales and dolphins, beautiful snorkling, delicious sandwiches, and very knowledgeable and entertaining Capt Shawn and crew Asia and Kaloa.

We enjoyed the sunset cruise even with a not great sunset (it was cloudy and little rainy). The crew was fun and we had fun getting to know the others on the boat with us. Definitely recommend this sunset cruise.

What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]

What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]

Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.

The show was very entertaining and the dinner buffet was amazing , the Island shows are very entertaining as well we had a remarkable time, the weather was very pleasant but the rain started right after the show was over and we got wet on our way to the bus, even that was a lot of fun .

Crew was over the top. Attentive, professional, safety first and great bartenders. Saw numerous turtles and colorful fish .
Amos blows a great conch shell.

My daughter and I had a great time climbing Diamond Head. We could go at our own pace which was awesome.
My daughter also left her hat on the van and they got back to me super quick when I emailed them and we just picked it up from their office. Fantastic customer service.
Highly recommend this tour.

Very entertaining! Great music. Great dancing. Lots of searing and such nice staff.

I could barely speak English, but the staff seemed used to it and communicated in broken Japanese. We participated in three groups (none of which had Japanese members), and the cheerful staff engaged with each group, making the boat ride very enjoyable! When I mentioned we were on our honeymoon, they playfully suggested we kiss while parasailing, and they told the other groups about our honeymoon, which made us happy to receive their congratulations.

During the boat ride, we were able to see the whales spouting water, making the journey even more enjoyable! This group didn't experience any seasickness, but there were instructions to vomit outside the boat if needed, which was amusing. Parasailing offered a stunning view of all of Hawaii, and both my husband and I were thrilled! It was fine to wear sunglasses while bringing a GoPro. We went up to 120 meters, but I wonder how different it would have been at 150 meters, which leaves me a bit regretful.

We were dropped into the water just enough to not submerge our faces, and the excitement from the calls of "Kiss!" from below added to the fun, creating a level of energy that was unlike anything in Japan for our honeymoon! There are photos capturing the moment we took off, so some of them clearly show our faces! I initially planned not to buy any photos, but I would regret it if I didn't! We really enjoyed our honeymoon! Thank you! ♡

ほぼ英語喋れませんでしたが、向こうも慣れてるのか指示出しはカタコトの日本語でした。
3グループ(日本人なし)で参加して、それぞれのグループに陽気にスタッフさんが話しかけて、船の時間もとても楽しかったです！
ハネムーンできてることを伝えるとパラセーリング中キスしなよ！と陽気にいじってきたり、他のグループにもハネムーンできてるんだよ！と伝え皆さんにおめでとうといってもらえて嬉しかったです
船の移動中にはクジラの潮吹きをみれて、船の旅も楽しめます！今回のグループは船酔いみなさん一切しませんでしたが、酔った場合は船の外に吐いてねと指示も予めありました笑
パラセーリングはハワイ全貌が見えて、夫婦ともに大興奮でした！GoProの持ち込みサングラスを掛けたままでも問題なかったです。120mでしたが、150mだとどれほど違かったのか少し心残りです。
顔がつかない程度に海に落とされたり、下からキース！コールで盛り上がられたりハネムーンとしては日本でないぐらいのテンション感を味わえたのがとても楽しかったです！笑
写真も飛び立つ瞬間とか含まれてるので顔がよく分かるものもあります！写真をはじめ買わない想定でしたが、買わないと後悔します！笑
ハネムーンを楽しめました！ありがとうございます♡

Our experience aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly kind staff. I was nervous having a toddler but everyone assured us our son was welcomed. They even had a place store our stroller.

One of the first things that struck us was how immaculately clean the boat was. It was evident that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities for the crew.

The ride itself was an absolute blast! Having never been on a catamaran, it did not disappoint! As we cruised along, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sunset casting its warm hues over the Honolulu skyline, with the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head in the background. We even got to anchor and jump into the ocean.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was how family-friendly it was. The crew went above and beyond to ensure my little one was comfortable even though he was crying. They were so incredibly nice!

Overall, our time aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was an absolute delight. We can't recommend it enough for families looking to create unforgettable memories in the stunning backdrop of Honolulu. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our experience so memorable!

The senior couple in their 60s and their child in their 20s initially felt anxious, but the guide was very kind and provided a thorough lecture at the beginning. They also paid attention to us while we were on public roads, and we are very grateful to the guide! We touched on key points of interest and history, and riding the Segway under the blue sky while feeling the wind completely dispelled our initial anxiety. It was a wonderful experience. If we go again, we would love to join a tour to see the sunset at Magic Island!

60代シニア夫婦と20代子供の参加で、シニアは最初不安でしたが
初めにとても親切にレクチャーしていただき、公道に出ても気にかけて頂きガイドさんには大感謝です！！
要所要所で見所や、歴史にも触れ
青空の下
風を感じながらのセグウェイは最初の不安も一掃されて、とても良かったです。
次回行くことがあれば、マジックアイランドの夕日を見るツアーも行きたい！くらいです。

Overall, beautiful and the service made our life so much easier. We would recommend these guys again.

With the bay...
Fish weren't as plentiful as the pictures...by a long shot.

Perhaps planning on being there at high tide would help with making the space easier to snorkel.

Interesting process getting into the bay.

Great friendly service from the crew we booked with helping us manage these processes at the bay.

Food and drink options there are slim and no where to sit and eat them as you wait for transport back.

The tour guide on the drive out was great, very friendly. Gear worked well and was clean. We got chairs and an umbrella which was really nice since we were there a while. I didn’t love the actual bay, however. The snorkeling was only okay and we didn’t see nearly as many types of fish as I would have expected for a place boosting great snorkeling. I have been to better. The reef was also super shallow so hard to navigate around the sections safely without touching the coral. It also was very sandy so the view wasn’t clear. Overall I would not pick this activity again just since the snorkeling wasn’t great. However, the driver and equipment was great so I didn’t want to knock their rating down just because the experience wasn’t amazing.

I had experienced zip-lining in Japan, but in Hawaii, there were multiple courses available. I think I spent about two hours experiencing everything. My satisfaction level was quite high. The accompanying staff were locals who engaged with us to ensure we had a good time. I struggled with English and couldn't speak well, but the female guide was always smiling and made it enjoyable. On the longer lines, you glide through the air for about 30 seconds, and the views are amazing. I definitely think it's something everyone should try at least once.

日本でもジップラインを経験していましたが、ハワイのものはいくつものコースが用意されていました。2時間ぐらいかけてすべてを体験したと思います。
満足度はかなり高かったです。
付き添いスタッフは現地の人でしたが、楽しく過ごせるように話しかけてくれました。
英語が苦手でうまく話せなかったのですが、ガイドの女性はいつもニコニコ楽しませくれましたよ。
長いものであれば30秒ぐらい空中を滑走するような状況になり、景色も最高で是非一度は経験したほうがいいと思います。

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

Being able to drive up into the mountains and learn so much about the history of the mountains and the area was amazing. The added bonus of seeing different movie sites and learning about movies and shows being filmed in that area was cool too.
I was surprised that we did not stop at all of the sites with movie props. Especially the ones specific to Jurassic park so that was a bit of a disappointment but otherwise it was a great excursion.

I participated on the last night of my stay in Hawaii.

It was said to be a 15-minute access from the hotel where I was staying, but since it goes through the downtown area, I didn’t feel it was far at all while walking with ease and enjoyment. The location was easy to find, and after checking in, I was smoothly guided to my buffet seat. The welcome drink and the wonderful hospitality from the local staff were very nice. You only need to show the voucher, so it’s fine even if you don’t speak English.

I was satisfied with the buffet offerings. The meat was delicious, and I could choose the doneness of the roast beef. During the meal, there were hula dances and hula lessons, and before I knew it, it was time for the show.

The show seemed to be a collaboration of the history of American artists and hula. I could really feel the energy from the dancers and performers, and it was truly wonderful. In addition to hula, there were also fire knife dances and Tahitian dances, which were very impressive. After the performance, the cast members saw us off, which was a lot of fun. Depending on the season, it might be good to have a light jacket to wear.

I felt the aloha spirit from all the staff. Thank you for a wonderful time.

It was great to see it at a good price during the campaign!

ハワイ滞在の最終夜に参加しました。

アクセスが滞在していたホテルから15分と書いてありましたが、繁華街を通っていくので、安心と楽しみながら歩けるので全く遠くは感じませんでした。
場所も分かりやすく、受付後もスムーズにビュッフェの席に案内されました。ウェルカムドリンクや現地のスタッフさんの素敵な歓迎がとても良かったです。
バウチャーを見せるだけなので英語が出来なくても大丈夫です。

ビュッフェの内容も満足でした。
お肉も美味しく、ローストビーフは焼加減も選べました。
食事中もフラダンスやフラレッスンもあり、あっという間にショーの時間となりました。

ショーはアメリカのアーティストの歴史とフラのコラボレーションといった内容でしょうか。
ダンサーやパフォーマーの方からパワーをとても感じれて、とても素晴らしかったです。
フラの、他にファイヤーナイフダンスやタヒチアンダンスもあり見応え抜群です。
終演後も出演者の方の見送りがあり、とても楽しかったです。
季節と場合によっては羽織れる上着があっても良いかもしれません。

スタッフの皆様のアロハの心を感じました。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

キャンペーン中でお得に観れてとても良かっです

Been wanting to do this for years
Got to see history in real life and see where all those men lived and worked
Photos of signing of surrender and military men of the past.
Even where a kamakize pilot flew into the ship and photos
Great adventure
Will recommend to my friends and family

We anchored offshore until sunset and dived from the boat. Participants jumped in one after another, boldly and without hesitation, doing flips and more. Both the bikini-clad ladies and the older gentlemen with floaties joined in. It felt like a party with lively music playing.

While there were many people who didn't dive, just watching was exciting and a lot of fun. My son, who is a good swimmer, mustered up the courage to do a commemorative dive.

There were no other Japanese people, but there were no feelings of discomfort or issues at all. As long as you fill out the application form diligently, you'll be fine. There's no obligation to purchase unnecessary drinks. The parking lot is hard to find. You can walk from Waikiki. If you want to snorkel, make sure to bring your own gear, as they mentioned there are no rentals available for sunset.

サンセットまでの時間沖合で停泊し、船上からダイブしまくり。
参加者は豪快に、躊躇なく、宙返りなどしながら次々飛び込んでいきます。ビキニのお姉さんも、フローティングをつけたおじさんも。ノリノリの音楽に合わせてパーティーみたいでした。
飛び込まない人も沢山いますが見ているだけでも楽しくて大興奮でとても楽しいです。水泳得意な息子も勇気を出して記念ダイブしました。
日本人は他にいませんでしたがたくに違和感も問題もなし。申込フォームさえ頑張れば大丈夫です。
不要なドリンク購入なども強制はありません。駐車場は見つけにくいです。ワイキキからなら歩いても行けます。シュノーケルしたかったら持参して。貸し出しはサンセットには無いとのことでした。

Kilani, our bus driver, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor tour guide was also excellent and informative. It rained for a bit, but then stopped. The Missouri guide was excellent but only talked at the first two stops. I thought he would talk all through the tour. It probably would have been difficult to do with the narrow passageways though. I would suggest not bringing any kind of bag unless it is a see-through one because you can't take it inside the grounds - have to pay for a locker.

Great little trip into the ocean to view coral reef and fish! Beautiful clear blue water. Staff very knowledgeable. Loved it!
