All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We had 2 different drivers, one for DH and one for the waterfall. Both were excellent. They had waters for the end of the trip, and the waterfall driver had bug spray and walking sticks for everyone who needed them. They were both knowledgeable about the trails and gave great tips. Excellent!!

A most enjoyable experience! Once we spotted a spout in the distance, we motored to it for a wonderful mother-baby whale show! Only recommendation would be to improve the directions to get to the check-in location on the beach.

The guys that operate the boat were easy going, friendly and informative with a splash of humour.

The trip delivers as promised. They sail you to turtle canyon, you snorkel and enjoy a lovely sailing journey back.

It doesn’t have frills like food or drink ( you can take your own goodies, no problem), but that’s not what this trip is about. It caters perfectly to the people that put simply just want to catch a ride to the perfect spot to see turtles.

I would absolutely use them again. They are professional and good value for money. I recommend them A+++.

I participated in the afternoon tour.
There was a Japanese crew, which made me feel at ease!
It was really fun.
The weather was cloudy, so it was very cold, but that's just luck...
It was so cold that being in the sea felt warmer...
I was able to experience both SAP and snorkeling.

午後のツアーに参加しました。
日本人のクルーがいて安心して参加できました！
すごく楽しかったです。
天候が曇りだったためすごく寒かったですが、
それだけは運なので、、、、、
海に浸かってる方が暖かく感じるくらい
寒かったです、、、、、。
SAPもシュノーケルも体験できました。

The scenery is so magnificent that it is chosen as a filming location for movies. Riding the buggy from various angles allowed for a lot of movement and enjoyment. However, there was a bit too much time left on the return trip, and if it's just the buggy attraction, you might find yourself with too much free time. I think it would be good to plan other experience attractions at Kualoa on the same day.

映画ロケ地として選ばれるほどの壮大な景色なかに入ることができる。
色々な角度からバギーをのることで、移動距離も多く、楽しめた。
ただ、少し帰りの時間が十分余裕があり、バギーだけのアトラクションだと時間を持て余す。
他に同日にクアロアでの体験アトラクションを計画するといいと思う

Such a great experience! We got to see so many places in this tour. I would recommend it to anyone who loves movies or even just nature. The views are amazing! I would definitely use this company again in the future!

This time, my family and I participated in the dinner show "Rock-a-Hula" for the first time. After having dinner, we watched the show. First, regarding the dinner, there were a decent number of dishes, so I think you'll feel full. However, the meat was a bit tough and didn't taste very good. As for the show, the seats we had were excellent, so we had a great view. There was hula dancing, and impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which made it quite lively and enjoyable. It seems that there are options to just attend the show, so I think it would be nice to have a meal in Waikiki and then enjoy the performance.

今回、初めてディナーショーの「ロック・ア・フラ」に家族で参加しました。
ディナーを頂いてから、ショーの観戦という流れでした。まず、ディナーですが品数もそこそこありお腹いっぱいにはなると思います。ただし、お肉は固めであまり美味しいと感じませんでした。ショーの方は、観戦した席が大変良かったので、よく見えました。フラダンスあり、エルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーがあったり結構盛り上がり、楽しめました。ショーだけもあるようなので、ワイキキあたりで好きな食事をし、観賞するのもありだと思います。

It was exciting to see the actual locations where the movie was filmed spread out before my eyes. Please give it a try. The bus tour goes directly to the location, so you don't have to walk on mountain trails, so it's perfect for families with children.

It was an order with an English guide only, but the captain was very kind and friendly, paying attention to even the small details. My son got stung by a jellyfish, but they handled it well at that time. Thank you very much.

英語ガイドのみでのオーダーでしたがキャプテンがとても親切かつフレンドリーで細いことにも気を遣っていただきました。
息子がクラゲに刺されてしまったのですがその際もしっかり対応していただきました。ありがとうございます

It's a show that delights tourists. You can enjoy it with dinner included. The shows featuring Presley and Michael Jackson were a hit even with Americans, and the audience was singing along.

観光客に喜ばれるショーです。ディナー付きで楽しめます。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーはアメリカ人にとってもウケて、客席の方々歌ってました。

An incredible experience. Turtles were everywhere, plenty of tropical fish and we were lucky enough to see dolphins as well. The crew were fantastic, super friendly and helpful.

This tour was. a great experience! I really appreciated every stop we took throughout, especially Haleiwa town. This is surely a must do experience if you were planning to only stay in Waikiki!

This tour covered all the bases and then some. I am very thankful we chose the guided tour option, the guides really know it all! Mahalo E Noa , we will be back hopefully soon!

The whole experience was relaxing and Nice.It was quite windy .
One complimentary drink was provided .

Yoshi is an amazing guide. His personality is everything. We had an amazing sunset and were able to see clearly Andromeda, Jupiter, and Saturn. One of the best experiences of our trip!!

The activities were great but the whole staff is awemazing!

I previously visited during the summer with my coworkers, but my family had never been. After overcoming the long COVID pandemic, I finally brought my family along. It felt like fate that this was the last AM private cruise of 2023, and I was able to greet Captain Bruce before departure. Everyone picked up on even the little things from our prior communications and past experiences, which naturally sparked conversations.

Sitting near the bow of the speedboat can get you very wet. If you have things that you don't want to get wet, make sure to take precautions before and after boarding. I think you'll be dressed for swimming afterward, so feel free to enjoy getting splashed!

Veteran Alan interacted with us at just the right distance, ensuring that we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves as a family. However, we weren't neglected; he discreetly prepared wetsuits for my family when they looked a bit chilly and promptly responded to our small requests. During snorkeling, he helped my younger daughter, who struggles with swimming, by pulling her on a Zayak (a bodyboard with a viewing window), allowing her to enjoy the underwater scenery.

On that day, the current was a bit strong and sand was swirling, but my family was thrilled to encounter a honu resting on the reef. He even took my younger daughter to see another honu that was in shallower water.

Since this is an activity in nature, the weather and sea conditions are a surprise on the day, but we had a different experience compared to summer. Our family was very satisfied with our stay. Thank you!

Additionally, you can change from a shared shuttle to self-arrival at the location. This allows you to freely plan your schedule after the cruise, not just limited to the Waikiki area, so you can continue to enjoy the tranquil Windward side or venture up to the North Shore. For those considering renting a car, I think it's a good option. The yacht harbor parking is first-come, first-served (be careful of no-parking areas), so it's best to arrive with some extra time.

以前職場の人たちと夏季に来ましたが、家族は未踏だったでした。長いコロナ禍を乗り越え、ようやっと家族を連れて来られました。
2023年最後のAMプライベートクルーズだったのも何かの縁、キャプテンブルースさんにも出航前にご挨拶ができました。事前のやりとりや以前のお世話になった話など、ちょっとしたことでも皆さん拾ってくださり、自然と会話も弾みます。

スピードボートは舳先近くに座るととても濡れます。濡れると困るものは、乗船前後にあらかじめ対策しましょう。そのあと海に入る格好になって参加されると思いますので、せっかくなのであとは思う存分飛沫を浴びてください笑。

大ベテランのアランさんは程よい距離感で接してくださり、大体の時間は家族だけで自由気ままに過ごせるように計らってくださいました。とはいえ放置されているのではなく、少し肌寒そうにしていた家族にさり気なくウェットスーツを用意してくださり、こちらのちょっとしたリクエストにもすぐに対応してくださいました。
シュノーケリング時は泳ぎの苦手な次女をザヤック（のぞき窓付きボディボード）に載せて曳いていただき、次女も海中を眺めることができました。

この日は潮の流れが少し強く砂が舞ってましたが、家族も無事リーフにたたずむホヌと出会うことができ、喜んでいました。浅いところにいた別のホヌを見せに次女を連れて行っても下さいました。

自然の中でのアクティビティなので天気、海の様子は当日のお楽しみですが、夏季とはまた違った体験ができました。家族一同が大満足の滞在になりました。ありがとうございました！


なお、乗合送迎から自力での現地集合に変更もできます。クルーズ後の予定をワイキキエリアに限らず自由に立てられるので、のどかなウインドワードを引き続き満喫したり、ノースに足を伸ばしたりできますね。レンタカー派の方はご検討されるとよいと思います。
ヨットハーバーの駐車場は早い者勝ち（駐車禁止エリアもあるので注意）のため、ある程度余裕をもってのご到着がベストです。

Purchasing on line was a breeze. Check in was quick and easy. The all-female crew was professional, knowledgeable, and FUN. Cruising along the Waikiki shore was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time, and we had no problem seeing whales. We even got to see the illusive tail flip! Cannot recommend this enough. It was the highlight of our vacation. (We were first-time Waikiki visitors)

An airplane was flying overhead, and I was able to take some wonderful photos!

A few groups went offshore, and since there is a sequence of activities, it's better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication in advance.

上空を飛行機が飛んでいて
素敵な写真が撮れました！

何組かで沖合に行き、アクティビティの順番があるので
船酔いする人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいい。

Our quide, Dexter was excellent. He was very thoughtful and professional. He made an otherwise rainy, gloomy day a fun day. The tour gave us a great overview.

I recommend this tour and asking for Travis! He was the best thing about the tour! He made our family feel welcome and took time to show us all the local stuff and really explain life there. Mahalo Travis, thanks again!

It was the best experience.
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but I felt that it was a tour where beginners could participate with peace of mind because the guide was very supportive.

Hanauma Bay is very beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The swimming time is about an hour, which was just right for me as a beginner.
*For those who regularly engage in water sports, it might feel a bit short.

I think it's essential for participants in the winter season and beginners in snorkeling to rent a wetsuit.

In winter, the seawater is a bit cold, so the wetsuit helps alleviate that, and it provides buoyancy, allowing you to focus on snorkeling with peace of mind.

I will definitely book this tour again when I go to Hawaii.

最高の体験でした。
初めてのシュノーケリングで不安もありましたが、
ガイドさんがフォローしてくださるので初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと感じました。

ハナウマ湾はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見ることができ、
遊泳時間は1時間程度ですが、初心者の私にはちょうど良い時間でした。
※普段からマリンスポーツをされている方には、もしかしたら少し物足りないかも

また冬シーズンの参加の方、シュノーケリング初心者の方は、
ウェットスーツのレンタル必須だと思います。

冬は海水が少し冷たいのでその緩和と、
浮力があるので安心してシュノーケリングに集中できます。

またハワイに行く時はこのツアーを必ず予約します。

I couldn't enjoy myself freely because I was with people I didn't know well. I would like to have a bit more free time. Although we got in early, we could only swim for about an hour, so I couldn't go to the places I wanted to. I didn't think Hanauma Bay was more beautiful than it was four years ago. It was nice that the fish were used to people and didn't swim away. The guide was kind and helpful. Since I didn't need water or snacks, I would have preferred a lower price or at least to have about two hours of free time.

初めての人たちと一緒だったので自由にできなかった。ある程度自由時間がほしい。早く入れたが実質泳げるのが1時間程度なので、行きたいところに行けなかった。4年前より、ハナウマ湾が綺麗だとは思えなかった。魚は慣れていたので逃げないのは良かった。ガイドさんは親切で良かった。水もお菓子もいらないので、もう少し安くするか、せめて2時間くらいは自由にしたかった。

The hula dance performance was amazing for both adults and children, and the story and songs were also excellent. I felt like I experienced the essence of a Polynesian show, which made me forget the three-hour round trip. My wife was also very satisfied.

大人から子供まで、フラダンスパホーマンス最高、ストリー、歌も最高でした。ポリネシアンショウの真髄をみれた感あり、往復の３時間を忘れさせてくれました。奥さんも大満足でした。

The feeling of falling to the bottom of the abyss is becoming addictive. Since the ground is far away, there's no sense of fear. If there were a place that was closer and cheaper, I might become a repeat visitor.

奈落の底に落ちる感じが癖になりそう。地面が遠いので恐怖感はない。もっと身近に、安く出来る所があればリピーターになってしまいそう。

We arrived early to check in, secured our seats, and waited for the show while enjoying Mai Tais. The atmosphere at our table was very friendly and lively. We had a great time celebrating honeymoon couples and birthdays, and even got to go on stage for a dance lesson. The buffet was well-managed by the staff, making the flow smooth, and the food was delicious. The Hawaiian dance was elegant and wonderful, and it seemed like the host's talk was well-received. The ocean beyond the stage and the sunset were spectacular.

早めに受付をして、席を確保し、マイタイを飲みながら、開演を待ちました。同じテーブルの人たちと和気藹々。とても楽しかったです。ハネムーンカップルや、お誕生日の人などをお祝いしたり、ステージに上がってダンスをレクチャーされたり、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。ブッフェスタイルでしたが、取りに行く流れをちゃんとスタッフの方がコントロールしていて、スムーズでしたし、とても美味しかったです。ハワイアンダンスは優雅で素晴らしく、司会のトークも受けていたようです。ステージの向こうの海、そして夕陽が素晴らしかったです。

It was great that they took many photos from various angles (for a fee). It was a very enjoyable cruise with the cheerful crew.

色んな角度からたくさん写真を撮ってくれる（有料）のでとてもよかったです。明るい乗組員さんたちととても楽しいクルーズでした。

The weather was nice, and I was able to ride the horse comfortably. At first, I thought three hours might be long, but it ended up flying by with the wonderful scenery. Unfortunately, it was disappointing that there was no explanation from the locals during the horseback riding.

お天気も良く、馬にも快適に乗れました。
始めは３時間は長いかなと思いましたが、素晴らしい景色の中あっというまにおわりました。
残念乍ら現地の人から乗馬中何も説明が無かったのが残念でした。

Mat our pilot was fantastic gave us all the views this island had to show as well as pointed all the places that movies were filmed don’t hesitate to book with them A+ all the way

Perfectly organised day, from communication prior to the day to everyone involved in sny part of the tour.
The guide was great, hugely knowledgeable and interesting.
The helicopter trip was perhaps the most incredible thing I have ever done. The ground crew were superb and the pilot made it the best trip ever. After waiting 30 years to do this tour it didn't disappoint.
Could not recommend it highly enough.
