All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This is our second time with Captain Bob's, and we will definitely return.... We recommend this group because they are very knowledgeable, you get to play on the sandbar, enjoy a great lunch, snorkel around a small reef and they take you to a spot to see many turtles!!!!
Our captains were so helpful with our family members that needed extra help, they were so attentive to their needs and were watching our for them all the time...... They were so friendly and pleasant to be around..... Awesome, fantastic, wonderful, excellent were the words my family of 6 kept saying over and over...... We highly recommend Captain Bob's and will definitely return when we come back to Oahu....

This was a fantastic outing. A beautiful day for a fun cruise. I had a blast snorkeling. The crew was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The food was very good. Thank you.

The cruise was very relaxing and informative about the hawaiian culture as you make your way to the fern grotto thru some of the most beautiful views, you also will enjoy some beautiful singing and dancing as you cruise to a beautiful waterfalls.

The zipline experience with breathtaking views from various directions in Hawaii is unforgettable. It took about an hour by rental car to get there, making it a full-day activity.

Since rain can ruin the fun, I feel it's safer to make a reservation about a week in advance after checking the weather forecast.

The instructor was lively and kept us entertained throughout the experience.

ハワイのいろんな方角の絶景を見ながらのジップラインは、記憶に残ります。
現地に行くまで、レンタカーでも1時間前後かかったので、1日がかり。

雨が降ると楽しめないので、予約は、1週間前くらいに天気予報が出てからが安心な気がします。

インストラクターのノリがよく、随所で楽しませてくれます。

シェラトンから歩いてすぐの乗り場です。天気は良く、スタッフがボートの乗り降りの手順を手伝ってくれました。風が心地よく、スタッフとの会話も楽しいです。船内では飲み物も販売されます。ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くに行きます。景色は素晴らしいです。

シェラトンから歩いてすぐの乗り場。
The weather was nice and the staff helped us with the steps to get on and off the boat. The wind is comfortable and the staff's conversations are fun. Drinks will also be sold on board. We will go near Diamond Head. The scenery is amazing.

The wind felt a bit cold, but the weather was nice and the sea was crystal clear—it was the best! Although we only spoke Japanese, the staff were very kind and made us feel at ease!

風が少し寒く感じましたが天気も良く海も透き通ってて最高でした！
日本語しか話せない私達でしたがスタッフのみなさんも凄く親切で安心できました！

The skydiving experience and the instructor were amazing. It was a wonderful experience that I can truly say was one of the few precious moments in my life.

I had pre-ordered a video and photo package. The photos and videos were taken by the instructor's arm camera, and I paid an additional $139 for a separate cameraman to film from the outside. The total came to $602.

The data arrived a few days later, and when I watched it, there was a major editing mistake. The footage from the outside camera was upside down while the footage from the arm camera was normal! So, the video was switching between upside-down and normal footage. After returning to Japan, I emailed them about this issue, and I received an automatic reply saying, "We will respond properly, so please rest assured." A few days later, I received a message saying "Your link" along with the video link URL, but when I checked it, the editing mistake had not been fixed at all; it was exactly the same.

I sent three emails stating, "The editing from the outside camera is upside down, while the arm camera footage is edited correctly, so please fix it," along with my reservation number and screenshots of the upside-down footage, but I only received automatic replies and was completely ignored.

Since my English isn't very good, it was quite a struggle to send even one inquiry, and I researched other addresses and ended up sending a total of eight emails. I emailed the inquiry four times, and I also found their Instagram and tried to send a message, but it showed that I couldn't send it for some reason. The automatic reply I received had a different address, so I sent four emails there as well. I only received a link that was still incorrect, and all my emails were ignored.

I paid a decent amount to preserve these memories, but the editing was done carelessly, and my repeated emails were ignored. It's terrible. After about a month without a response, it seems like I won't be getting any assistance, so I think I have to just accept it.

(On the day of the jump, I repeatedly checked to make sure the camera was working, but it seems it wasn't. It was too late to find out after the jump. I’m really glad I insisted on checking despite my limited English. After that, with this editing mistake and no response, what is going on? It's the worst.)

スカイダイビングや、インストラクターさんは最高でした。
当日「人生の中で数少ない貴重な経験だった」と思える素敵な体験でした。

今回予めビデオと写真撮影のセットで依頼しておりました。
その写真とビデオは一緒に飛ぶインストラクターの腕のカメラで、当日、別のカメラマン(外側から撮ってもらえる)のビデオを139ドルで依頼できるとの事で追加で支払いました。合計で602ドル。

数日でデータが届き、観てみると編集に大きなミスが、、、アウトサイドカメラと腕のカメラ映像がミックスで編集されているのですが、アウトサイドカメラの映像だけ上下逆さまでした！！！
なので、逆さまと正常な映像が切り替わりながら流れている状態。
日本に帰国後、問い合わせからメールでこの内容を送ると、恐らく自動返信で「ちゃんと対応するのでご安心を」的なのが届き、数日後「あなたのリンク」と一言とビデオのリンクのURLが添付されており、実際観てみると、まさかの、一切直っておらず、全く同じ編集ミスのままの映像。
再度、「アウトサイドカメラの編集が上下逆さま、ハンドカメラは正常の向きで編集されている為、直してほしい」という内容と、自分の予約番号の添付や逆さまのスクショを添付して、３度程送りましたが、自動返信のみで完全に無視されたままでした。

英語が達者でないので一度の問い合わせを送るのも一苦労ですし、問い合わせ以外のアドレスも調べて全部で８回送りました。
問い合わせへメールで４回、インスタも見つけて「メッセージ」へも送りましたが何故か送れない仕様になっているとの表示で送れず。
自動返信されてきた添付の問い合わせが別のアドレスだったので、そこへも４回送信。
たった一度、直っていないリンクが送られて来たのみで全てのメールを無視されました。

せっかく思い出として残そうと、そこそこの料金を払ったのに適当な編集をされ、苦労して何度も送ったメールへの対応は無視。酷いです。
返信が来なくて約１か月、もう対応はしてもらえなそうなので泣き寝入りだと思います。

(当日もカメラがちゃんと入っているかという確認を散々してやっぱり入っていなかったようでした。飛んだ後に判明してももう遅い。英語がつたない中、しつこく確認して本当によかった。その後、この編集ミス、そして対応しない、どうなってるんですかね？最悪です。)

Everything from the gathering to the guidance was in English, and everyone except the two of us were foreigners.

It was quite enjoyable.

集合から案内まで全て英語で、お客さんも我々2人以外皆んな外人さんでした。

まあまあ楽しかったです。

Departure from Waikiki so accessible to those that decide to not rent a car. They depart 2x / day and you are able to do walk-ins if there is room.

Very affordable too, with an open bar that operates on tips.

Friendly for solo travelers. You can relax on the nets of the catamaran and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head are beautiful.

No sea life spotted during my trip, but I would definitely go again!

The Smith family really made you feel like “Ohana”. They were very welcoming and embraced and welcomed each and every guest with a pooka lai; photo, tram tour, exhibition on how pig was prepared and cooking process; unlimited buffet style meal with authentic cultural entrees, desserts and “poi”; and evening entertainment.

The whole crew was amazing, kind and funny! Spending the day at the sandbar was such an incredible experience and I highly suggest it for anyone looking to spend a fun day in the ocean. Would definitely book this trip again, the live music was also just amazing!

Easy to book and stress free service. We had a good time visiting. Staff were super friendly from front desk, tour to souvenir store.

Wow this was my firs time in hawaii and this compamy made my life easier. I realy recomend them we spend the best time in ours tours.

The pickup time for the hotel was about 10 minutes late, and at the meeting point, there was only a Korean couple besides us. They confirmed in broken English whether we were users of the Hanauma Bay shuttle service, which eased our anxiety a bit. After that, we were able to communicate with the Korean couple and had a valuable experience.
This was my fourth time at Hanauma Bay, and the restrictions are becoming stricter. The first time, the entrance fee was the only cost, but starting from the second visit, there was one day a week when the bay was closed, and from the third visit, it became two days a week. This time, I was surprised to find that it was completely reservation-only.

ホテルへのピックアップ時間が１０分位遅れ、集合場所には私たち以外は韓国人夫婦でしたが、拙い英語でハナウマ湾シャトルサービスの利用者であるかの確認をし、少し不安が和らぎました。その後韓国人夫婦とコミュニケーションがはかれて貴重な体験が出来ました。
ハナウマ湾は、今回が４回目でだんだん制限が厳しくなりました。
最初の時は、入場料だけで２回目からは週１日休場日ができ３回目からは週２日休場になり、今回からは完全予約制でびっくりしました。

I was able to fully immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park. If you have a Japanese driver's license, anyone can drive! There are a couple of water spots in the first half and three in the second half, and if you step on the gas, you'll get as wet as if you were on a rapid slide, which is fantastic (laughs). If you're alternating driving with someone, you can switch every time you stop at a viewpoint, so both of you can experience it. Your face, hair, and clothes will definitely get dirty from the dust (and water), so if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring wet wipes or a change of clothes. The restrooms were clean! The instructor spoke English, and there was also one Japanese staff member, so it's reassuring! This time we used a buggy, but next time I want to try horseback riding and zip-lining as well.

ジュラシックパークの世界観にどっぷりハマることができました日本の免許を持っていけば誰でも運転できます️前半に一箇所、後半に三箇所ほどウォータースポット（水たまり？）があって、全力でアクセルを踏み込めば、急流滑りくらい濡れますが最高です（笑）ふたりで交互に運転するなら、ビュースポットで降りるたびに交代すればどちらも体験できます顔や髪、服は砂埃(と、水)でちゃんと汚れるので、気になる方はウェットティッシュや着替えを持っていくのがいいかもです。トイレは綺麗でした！インストラクターの方は英語話者の方ですが、お一人日本人の職員さんもおられるので安心です！今回はバギーでしたが、次回は乗馬やジップラインも体験してみたいです

I highly recommend this cruise! This is the 2nd time we’ve done it and it is always a great time. The crew is awesome and the drinks are great. Watching the sunset from the katamaran is just gorgeous! Great price! Just do it!

It was truly like Jurassic Park.
There were various facilities in the ranch that I believe were used for filming the movie, and it brought back memories of Jurassic Park.
I had a valuable experience riding a four-wheeler through the ranch for almost an hour. I would like to visit again on another occasion.

ほんとうにジュラシックパークでした。
牧場内にはいろいろ映画の撮影に使われたと思う施設があり、ジュラシックパークの映画がよみがえってきました。
約１時間弱四輪バギーで牧場内を駆け抜けて貴重な体験をさせていただきました。またの機会にもう一度訪れたいと思います。

I participated at my husband's suggestion, and I truly think it was worth going! However, you will definitely get your face and clothes covered in dirt, so it's best to bring clothes you don't mind throwing away and some wet wipes.

夫の提案で参加しましたが、行ってよかったと心から思います！
ただ本当に顔も服も土だらけになるので、捨ててもよい服とウェットティッシュは持って行った方がいいです。

I was moved to see a starry sky like a planetarium! If possible, I strongly recommend going around the new moon when there is less light in the sky.

プラネタリウムみたいな星空が見れて感動しました！！
日程調整が可能であれば、空に明かりが少ない新月周辺で行くことを強くお勧めします。

Billy was fantastic would love to have Billy as a tour guide on every time

Super impressed! Our guides were the BEST! We learned so much and got to see and take in, feel so much beauty all while being physically active. The value of it all was so worth it. This adventure was epic, I will never forget it!! Thank you!

It was great to see the spouts and tails of two whales multiple times in the big rolling waves. The cruise ship kept following the whales, allowing us to see them several times. It would have been perfect to see them a bit closer, but the timing was just right. It was also nice to view Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. The cost performance is good.

大きなうねり波の中で、2頭のクジラの塩吹き、潜った時の尾ひれを何回も見れて大変良かった。
クルーズ船がずーっとクジラを追ってくれて、何度も見ることが出来た。
もう少し近くで見れれば最高だったが、時間的にも丁度良かった。
ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを海から眺めるのも良かった。
コスパはいいですね。

So many fun zip lines and two suspension bridges. The guides were all so lovely and made me feel safe throughout the entire adventure. Highly recommend for an unforgettable experience in Hawaii!

We were so excited to go swim at the sandbar and are so glad we decided to take a boat. Excursion includes a ride to the sandbar with refreshments, crew-led snorkeling, and free time. Was nervous that I wasn't able to swim too well for the snorkeling portion but Jayson was awesome and floated me & three other people through the deep water. Great experience for folks of all ages and backgrounds!

I had previously experienced parasailing in Guam, but this time my middle school grandson wanted to try it, so we did a 120-meter experience. Seeing my grandson's happy face made me feel that it was worth it.

以前グアムでパラセイリングの経験はありましたが、今回中学生の孫が飛んでみたいと言うので120メートルの体験をしました。
孫の楽しそうな顔を見て、やってよかったなと思いました。

Meet at the location with a rental car. The parking lot is quite full and tight. After check-in, you have free time until the meeting time. After gathering, a summary of precautions is provided in a Japanese video.

Get on the Kawasaki off-road buggy and off we go. We proceed along a relatively well-maintained road, park at the first detour spot, and receive an explanation (in English). After this, we navigate up and down the road, stopping at about three points while squealing with excitement on our way to the final destination. Your face and clothes will get covered in sand, so it's advisable to cover your mouth with a bandana.

レンタカーで現地集合。駐車場が結構いっぱいでキツイ。受付後に集合時間までフリー。集合した後、日本語のビデオで注意点をサマリー。
Kawasaki オフロードバギーに乗り込み、いざ出発。比較的整備された道を進み最初の寄り道スポットで駐車し、説明を受ける。(英語) この後アップダウンの道をキャーキャー言いながら3地点ほど止まりながら最終地点に向かう。顔と服は砂まみれになるのでバンダナで口を覆うべし。

We are meeting at 6:30, so I plan to enjoy the sunset before heading to the meeting point. After confirming the members who made the reservation, we will be guided to the yacht (sandals are the best choice). Once on board, the excitement builds. After a safety briefing, drinks will start. It seems you can drink as much as you want, so don't hold back. The atmosphere gets even more lively when the fireworks begin. There is no meal provided, so it's advisable to consider a restaurant for after disembarking.

18;30に集合との事で、その前にサンセット堪能してから集合地点に向かう。
予約したメンバー確認後は、ヨットまで引率してもらう。(サンダルがベスト)
乗船後はテンション上がる。セーフティ関連の説明後にドリンクスタート。ここは何杯でも飲めるようなので遠慮せずに飲むべし。花火が始まると一層盛り上がる。
食事はないので、下船後のレストランは事前に考慮すべし。

Crew members were amazing! Saw beautiful coral and fishes. Fun activities for family with kids

Friends have questioned doors off, but I am here to say the views are still AMAZING!!

Beautiful caves to explore on the Kona cliffsides!
