All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I felt quite restricted due to my lack of English skills. There were no Japanese participants. As for the whales, I was able to spot them surfacing about three times, but they were only the size of my fingernail for a brief moment, and they were too far away to take any pictures, which was disappointing. I suppose it's just luck, so there's nothing to be done about it.

As everyone mentioned in their reviews, the sea breeze was cold, and during the sunset tour in March, wearing an ultra-light down jacket was just right. There was no place inside the boat to shield from the wind. The strong swaying and cold, along with the surprisingly long duration of the trip, caused my mother, who is in her 70s, to feel unwell.

I would recommend this for those who want to "enjoy a leisurely cruise while feeling the sea breeze" rather than for whale watching! There were small children moving around the boat, but I was quite worried they might fall through the gaps in the handrails due to the significant rocking.

英語力が皆無なので、結構不自由を感じました。
日本人の参加者はいませんでした。
肝心の鯨は３回ほど息継ぎを遠くに見つけられましたが、爪の先ほどのサイズが一瞬で、写真を撮れるほどの距離でも無く残念でした。これは運なので仕方ないです。
皆さまのレビューどおり、海風が寒く、3月晴れのサンセットツアーではウルトラライトダウンを着てちょうど良かった程です。船内は風を防げる場所もありません。
強い揺れと寒さと、航行が意外と長くて、70代の母は体調を崩してしまいました。
鯨目的より、「のんびり海の風を感じながらクルーズしたい」という方にはオススメです！小さなお子さんが船上を行き来していましたが、かなり上下左右に揺れるので手すりの隙間から落ちてしまわないか心配でした。

It was a very cloudy day, but we were lucky that the sun only shone when we arrived at the sandbar! My mother, in her 70s, didn't have a swimsuit, but she waded into the water up to her thighs wearing her shorts and a sun-protective hoodie, excitedly exclaiming, "I haven't been in the ocean in decades!" (laughs) After returning to the boat, she changed in the restroom to avoid getting cold.

It was a bit disappointing that the tour didn't include stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), as my mother had expressed interest in trying it, but it was just the right tour for us since we weren't planning to get in the water. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were attentive throughout and shared various stories about Hawaii, which was also very enjoyable. They have a wealth of experience related to the tour and are properly qualified.

Next time, I plan to try snorkeling and SUP at the emerald green sandbar with this company on a sunny day!

どん曇りの一日でしたが、サンドバーに着いた時にだけ日差しが差し込み、とてもラッキーでした！
70代の母も、水着が無いなりに手持ちのショートパンツと日除けパーカーで股まで着水し、「数十年ぶりに海に入ったわ！」と興奮しておりました(笑)船に戻った後は、体を冷やさないようトイレで着替えておりました。

母が「ＳＵＰしてみたい」と言っていたので含まれていなかった点は残念でしたが、海に浸かるつもりの無かった私たちにはちょうど良いツアーでした。
日本語が堪能なスタッフさんは終始皆さんに気配りくださり、ハワイの色々なお話を聞けたことも大変良かったです＾＾ツアーに関する経験も豊富で、資格もきっちり備えていらっしゃるそうです。

次はまたこちらの会社さんで、晴れたエメラルドグリーンのサンドバーで、シュノーケルとＳＵＰに挑戦してみようと思います！

This was an awesome tour! Our tour guides were amazing and shared some incredible stories about the ranch, the movies and the island itself.

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband and our grandchild, participated in the event. We checked the tide schedule in advance and joined, but it wasn't as low tide as we expected. As a result, our grandchild stayed with us on the boat. However, our daughter and her husband enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking. Additionally, during snorkeling, we were able to admire various fish along with the coral reefs. We are grateful for the kind assistance from the staff.

私たち老夫婦は、娘夫婦と孫と参加しました。事前に干潮の日時を調べて参加しましたが、思ったほどの干潮ではありませんでした。よって、孫は船内に私たちと待機でした。しかし、娘夫婦はSUPやカヤックを堪能しました。また、スノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁とともに様々な魚を鑑賞することができました。スタッフの皆さんの優しいご対応に感謝します。

I had such a great experience eight years ago that I can honestly say I came to Hawaii just for this. The course has changed a bit since my last visit, and it was nice to see different places. There was a photographer who took pictures of each person, and they were available for purchase afterward. This time, the guide took photos with their own phone during the ride, and I received them via AirDrop afterward. The photos turned out really well. There are no guides who speak Japanese. Since the horseback riding lasts for two hours, if you're concerned about sunburn, it's essential to apply sunscreen on your face as well.

8年前に体験してとても良かったので、今回はこの為にハワイへ来たと言ってもいいくらいです。
前回とコースが少し変わっていてまた違うところを見れて良かったです。
カメラマンがいて一人一人写真を撮ってくれ、終わったあと販売されているのですが、今回のガイドさんは、途中でご自身の携帯カメラで写真を撮ってくれ、終わったあとAirDropで貰えました。とても良い写真でした。
日本語を話せるガイドさんはいません。
2時間の乗馬なので、日焼けを気にされる方は顔にも日焼け止め必須です。

We loved everything about the this tour. We went in the morning, and the water was almost waist deep but it didn’t bother us. We got to see many fish by snorkeling, did standup paddle boarding, kayaking, and listened to the amazing musicians perform onboard. The crew were very kind, helpful and entertaining. They made it extra fun. My husband and I had a great time and would gladly do it again, only with KBOS. Highly recommend going with this crew.

An amazing and moving experience visiting all 3 locations in Pearl Harbour. The experience was made extra easy and smooth with attention provided by tour guide Marlow.

Beautiful valley and great guide. The valley is definitely worth a visit. If you are on the big island don’t miss this one out.

This has been our 17th visit to the Old Lāhainā Luau and although it changes from year to year love the experience.

Very professional and entertaining guide.
Interesting commentary on the way to the top.
Don’t miss it.

My husband and I had a wonderful first trip with this company and first excursion together. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was live music and the atmosphere was great. We would definitely recommend this for anyone else looking for something fun to do while you’re staying in Hawaii.

This was the most fun activity we did our entire week that we visited Maui! We loved seeing the whales, and had the best time snorkeling & seeing all of the fish & turtles! The catamaran was clean & organized well, the staff & captain were amazing! They were invaluable in finding whales & making sure everyone was safe etc! The food & drinks were excellent!! It was very warm, family oriented & welcoming!

The tour in Hawaii was affordable and great. The location was also good since it was near the Ala Moana Shopping Center.

ハワイのツアーの中で安くて良かったです。
近くにアラモアナショッピングセンターもあったので、場所も良かったです。

Food was delicious and dancing was amazing. Hostesses so friendly and welcoming
The only disappointment was , they asked if we were celebrating anything and we shared it was the 30tj birthday for our twin daughters (very special) & they only highlighted another older woman’s birthday and disregarded the other birthdays & celebrations. I’d say do all or none!
But overall we were satisfied and had a great time.

My First Skydiving Experience
I was really nervous before jumping, but while I was flying, the exhilaration was incredible; it was truly the best!

初めてのスカイダイビング
飛び出す前はドキドキでしたが、飛んでいる時は爽快感がすごく、本当に最高でした！

The forecast was cloudy, but I was very satisfied to see both the sunset and a sky full of stars! The starry sky was especially beautiful, and I could even see the Pleiades! They lent us warm clothing, so we were able to enjoy it while staying warm!

曇りの予報でしたが、日の入りも満天の星も見られて大満足でした！星空が特に綺麗ですばるまで目視できました！
防寒着を貸してくれるので寒さも凌ぎながら楽しめました！

It was an English-only tour, but I participated without knowing any English at all. The guide explained everything in easy-to-understand English and made it incredibly enjoyable! If you're debating between this and a buggy, I definitely recommend this one! The bicycles are electric and have a mode for uphill, so it's super easy!

英語のみのツアーになりますが、英語が全く分からない状態で参加しました。
ガイドの方が分かりやすい英語で説明してくれ、めちゃくちゃ楽しませてくれました！
バギーと迷っているなら断然こちらをオススメします！
自転車も電動で、坂道用のモードもあるので、ラクラクです♪

Mind blowing tour! Incredible crew: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, well prepared. The experience of a lifetime. Huge manta rays, swimming all around us! Gentle giants. Feeding on the plankton attracted to the lights. I know the crew told us that experiences may vary in numbers of mantas seen, but we were extremely lucky and saw close up mantas almost the entire time!

Our boat captain was terrific, we were able to see two species of whales, many dolphins 3 turtles from the boat and two more snorkeling. Not sure how it could have been any better. Best thing we did in Hawaii

Terrific experience! Derek was a wonderful guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! Gave a preview of events, a timeline, and kept to the schedule.
The tour took us to places we probably wouldn't have gone to on our own. We saw turtles on the beautiful black sand beach, enjoyed a walk around the coffee farm with delicious samples. Spent time at Rainbow Falls. Enjoyed cookies at a local bakery. Plenty of opportunities along the way to pickup meaningful, local souvenirs.
But my favorite stops were in Volcano National Park. The caldera was amazing. No spouting lava but lots of smoking vents. The steam vents were amazing as well. Lunch at the cafe was well organized and tasty. The view from the restaurant was great. Beautiful vistas along the route. What more could you ask for???

We had a wonderful time this was 2nd time for my wife and myself. We were at luau last year and we had my wife’s sister join us for Hawaii vacation and brought them. They had a great time food and entertainment great. We will see you again

Thanks Mahalo

On est vraiment plongé dans l’apprentissage sur l’histoire des îles polynésiennes.

Le souper était à nouveau excellent et le spectacle HA le souffle de la vie est majestueux

The local tour guide was American and provided a thorough explanation. It was very cold at the summit, but I was able to endure the cold thanks to the warm clothing and gloves they lent me. The scene of the sunset, the starry sky, and the moment the moon appeared were truly moving.

現地ツアーガイドさんはアメリカ人でしたが丁寧に説明していただきました、山頂は非常に寒いですが上下の防寒着、手袋を貸していただいたので何とか寒さをしのぐことができました。
日が沈むシーン、星空、月が出る瞬間は感動です。

The buggy experience is wonderful. You can enjoy it even if you don't know the movie. A person who speaks Japanese will explain things before check-in after you arrive. However, once the buggy experience starts, it will be in English only. But you can generally understand it. The buggy doesn't go for a full two hours without stopping; it stops at power spots along the way. Also, the bus driver for the shuttle was very lively and provided guidance throughout the drive.

バギー体験は素晴らしいです。映画を知らなくても楽しめます。日本語を喋れる人は到着後チェックイン前に説明をしてくれます。しかし、バギー体験が始まると英語のみになります。でも、大体わかります。バギーも2時間ぶっ通しではなく、パワースポットごとに停止します。
あと、送迎のバスの運転手がノリが良くて終始運転しながらガイドしてました。

We will take a boat to the sea at Waikiki, and during that time, we can see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki. There aren't many fish in the waters of Waikiki, but there are a lot of fish around the sunken ship, which is very interesting. When you take photos, they come out a bit blue and are somewhat hard to see, but if you actually see it, you can tell that the sea is beautiful. The interior of the ship is a bit cold. However, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I don't think I'll have such an experience again.

船でワイキキの海に行きますが、その間にダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。ワイキキの海の中はあまり魚はいないですが、沈没船の周りには多くの魚がおり、非常に面白いです。写真を撮ると青みがかかり、少し見にくいですが、実際に見れば美しい海だと言うことがわかります。艦内は少し寒いです。ただ、本当に素晴らしい体験でしたし、こんな経験は2度とできないでしょう。

It had been a while since my last trip to Hawaii. I always made sure to schedule a dinner show on the last day, but this time it coincided with the fireworks on Friday, so I decided to change the date. Since it was only the second day and I had an early morning tomorrow, I planned to keep it light and not order any alcohol. However, I ended up chatting with a Japanese couple at my table and joined in on their drinks.

I believe one of the joys of traveling is being able to hear stories and recommendations directly from those who have experienced various things. Anyway, the show was very entertaining. If it had been purely a Polynesian-style show, I might have dozed off due to jet lag and the early wake-up, as the music was quite soothing. However, the cast provided an entertaining performance that felt like a mini concert.

I particularly enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment, as I belong to that generation but had never been to one of his concerts, so I purely enjoyed the dance and singing. The couple I sat with seemed to be from the Elvis Presley generation, and they enjoyed it just as much.

The VIP package included drinks during the show, which was a nice touch. The food was also quite suitable for Japanese tastes, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the buffet offered additional servings, it was so plentiful that I could hardly finish anything other than dessert.

I received a lei at the hotel and got another one here to take home. The scent of the flowers lingered in my room, and since it was only the second day, I kept it on display until my return.

久しぶりのハワイでした。ディナーショーは必ず最後の日に入れていましたが、今回は金曜日の花火と重なるので日にちをずらしました。まだ2日目で明日も早い為、お酒など注文せずに軽く過ごす予定でしたが同席の日本人ご夫婦とお話が弾み御相伴に預かる事になりました。

旅の醍醐味は色々経験された方からのお話やおススメスポットを直に聞ける事も含まれているのでは無いかと思います。
話はそれましたがショーはとても面白かったです。純粋にポリネシアンスタイルのショーだと、時差ぼけと早起きが続いて、音楽が穏やか過ぎて寝てしまいそうですがエンターテイメントなキャスト達が繰り広げるプチコンサートの様な形相もありました。
特にマイケルジャクソンは世代ですがコンサートに行った事無い為、純粋にダンスや歌を楽しみました。同席させて頂いたご夫婦はエルビスプレスリー世代だった様で、こちらも同じ様に楽しまれていました。
VIPのコースの予約にはショーの間のドリンクも用意されていたのでこちらも楽しみました。お食事は日本人にもあう内容だったので美味しく頂きました。ブュッフェは追加で頂く事も出来ましたが
種類豊富でデザート以外はおかわり出来ない位充実してましたよ。
ホテルで頂いたレイと、こちらでもレイを頂いて帰りましたがお花の香りがお部屋に漂ってまだ2日目の為帰国まで飾ってました

We went during our family trip to Hawaii. The theater was compact, but the content was very enjoyable. As expected from Cirque du Soleil!

家族でハワイ旅行中に行きました
劇場はコンパクトでしたが、とても楽しめる内容でした
さすがシルクドソレイユです

Had a great time and would recommend to visitors! Guides were great! The experience ran like a well oiled machine!

I was really worried whether the bus would actually come since I applied from Japan, but it arrived on time, and the explanation in Japanese was very clear, which was great. I was concerned about being on the bus for a long time, but it didn't shake much, and I had a lot of fun. The sunset was also wonderful, and I was moved by the many stars I saw for the first time. Thank you very much.

日本から申し込んだので本当にバスが来てくれるのか不安でしたが、
時間通りに来てくださり、日本語でわかりやすく説明してくださったので良かったです。
長い時間バスに乗るので心配でしたが、さほど揺れることなくとても楽しかったです。
夕日も素晴らしいかったし、
初めてみるたくさんの星に感動しました。
ありがとうございました。

I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but since we wore life jackets, there were no problems, and the guides were always watching over us. The guides also spoke a little Japanese. We brought waterproof cases for our smartphones and filmed scenes of us swimming with the fish. We left our belongings on the chairs inside the boat. There was always someone watching over us inside the boat, and I heard there are security cameras as well.

I was able to see sea turtles from the boat twice! It felt strange to be away from land yet in shallow water. It was truly amazing.

I'm grateful to the guides as well. At the end, I gave a tip to the person who was always singing for us. Thank you very much! 😊

泳ぎに自信が無かったですが、ライフガードを着用するので問題ないですし、常にガイドさんが見張ってくれます。そのガイドさんたちも日本語を少し喋ってくれます。私たちはスマホ用防水ケースを持っていき、魚と泳ぐシーンを動画で撮影しました。荷物は、船内の椅子に置いてました。船内は常に誰かが見張ってくれますし、防犯カメラもあるそうです。
ウミガメは船内から2度見ることができました！陸から離れているのに浅瀬という不思議な感覚になりました。ほんとに最高でした。
ガイドさんにも感謝です。最後は常に歌ってくれていた方にチップをお渡ししました。
ありがとうございました😊
