All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The weather was nice, with little wind, perfect for parasailing! There was also a rainbow, which added to the great atmosphere. I was scared at first, but once I got used to it, it felt wonderful and was a lot of fun. I want to do it again!

天気も良く風も少なくパラセイリング日和でした！
虹も出ていて良い感じでした。
最初は怖かったですが慣れたら気持ちよく楽しかったです。またやりたいです！

Unfortunately, it rained. The rain got heavier and raincoats were distributed. The temperature dropped, and the food got soaked and was almost inedible, with only two drinks consumed. While I was concerned about the weak yen prices, I made the reservation to boost my Hawaiian spirit, but it turned out to be a poor value. I hadn't considered the bad weather. Those making reservations should not forget to check the weather. The fire show was impressive.

あいにくの雨でした。どんどん雨脚が強くなりレインコートが配られ、気温も下がり、食事もずぶ濡れでほとんど食べられず、飲み物も2杯飲んだ程度。円安料金が気になりつつもハワイ気分を盛り上げようと予約しましたがコスパの悪い結果となりました。悪天候については気が回っていなかった。予約される方は天気のチェックをお忘れなく。ファイアーショーは見応えありました。

I felt seasick, the wind was strong, and I shouted for help to the sky with my friends, feeling as if I might die from the sensation of floating like an attraction. However, thanks to the captain's wonderful energy, we were able to create amazing memories. We were on the brink of unstable weather, but it cleared up, and we even got to see a rainbow. It was fantastic! Additionally, at the end, I was able to take a photo with the two captains and my friends, spending a happy time together. I was so happy to experience parasailing for the first time in Hawaii and to meet such wonderful people.

船には酔い、風が強くて友達と助けてーと空に向かって叫び、アトラクションかのような浮遊感があり死ぬかと思いましたが、キャプテンのすてきなテンションで素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました。また、天候の不安定であるかないかの瀬戸際でしたが晴れて虹も見ることができました。素晴らしかった!さらに、最後にはキャプテン二人と友達と4人で写真を撮ることができて幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。人生初のパラセーリングをハワイでできてすてきな人にも出会えてしあわせでした

I had an exciting experience while enjoying the rich nature in the vast grounds. It was incredibly fun to drive the buggy while taking in the great views and feeling the breeze. The guide spoke only English, but was very friendly. Upon arrival, there was a Japanese person who provided detailed guidance in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.

広大な敷地の中、豊かな自然を味わいながらワクワクする体験をすることができました。眺めが良く風を受けながらバギーを走らせるのは最高に楽しかったです。
ガイドは英語オンリーではありますがとてもフレンドリーでした。
到着時は日本人の方がいらして日本語で詳しく案内してくれました。安心して参加できますよ。

Highly recommend the activity. Love seeing where they made all the movies

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.

悪天候でしたがスタッフの方々が気さくに話しかけていただき、非常に楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
また、野生のウミガメもこんなに近くで見ることはというような距離でした。
冬のハワイは、結構寒く防寒着は持って行った方が良いと思います。サンドバーには降り立ちましたが、シュノーケルは寒くて船内待機していました。参加された方の数名は、ウミガメと並んでシュノーケルを楽しめたようで、次は夏のハワイで再挑戦したいと思いました。

It was quite impressive, and although the impersonations were somewhat cliché, I enjoyed it enough. The guests from the neighboring country were loud and disruptive. There were issues with the seating ranks.

なかなか迫力あり、ものまねもベタなものだったが充分楽しめた。隣国の客が大声で話してうるさかった。席のランクでのトラブルが起きていた。

We took our 3 year old. The experience was tailored to be age appropriate and gentle with the animals for my child. I highly encourage this experience.

It takes just under an hour to arrive from Waikiki using Uber.

I participated with my family (ages 7 to 70). It was the 7-year-old's first time horse trekking, but the horse was very well-behaved and responded well to the reins. Along the course, there were cows and birds, and unfamiliar flowers were blooming, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and relaxed conversation while taking in the sights. Photography and video recording are allowed, and since the pace is slow, it's definitely possible.

On the day we participated, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but all the staff were very kind, and we could communicate well through expressions and gestures. Large luggage can be stored at the reception, and you can participate while carrying a small crossbody bag. They take photos along the way, but you can download them later for a fee. The restroom with running water was clean, but it was unfortunate that there was no soap at the handwashing station.

There were dogs running freely, and goats and cows that you could feed, making the waiting time enjoyable.

ワイキキからUber利用で1時間弱で到着します。

家族(7歳〜70歳)で参加しました。7歳は初めてのホーストレッキングでしたが馬がお利口で手綱指示にしっかり応えてくれました。コースの途中で牛や鳥がいたり見慣れない花が咲いていて、それを見ながら会話できる位のんびりと安心して楽しめました。写真動画撮影は自由です。ゆっくり進むので充分可能です。

参加した日は日本語が通じる方は居ませんでしたが、スタッフ全員とても親切で表情とジェスチャーで充分通じます。大きな荷物は受付で預かってもらえ、斜めかけバッグ程度は持ったまま参加できました。途中で写真を撮ってくれますが後で有料ダウンロードです。水栓のトイレは綺麗でしたが手洗い場に石鹸が無いのが残念でした。

犬が自由に走り回っていたりヤギや牛がいてエサを買ってあげられるので待ち時間も楽しめました。

I had planned a trip to Hawaii with a friend, but it unexpectedly turned into a solo trip, which made me a bit down. However, I found this tour and decided to participate. It was my first time experiencing horseback riding, and they kindly taught me in Japanese, which made it enjoyable. The vast and beautiful scenery while I was riding the horse was unforgettable. It's been a while since I returned home, but I definitely want to experience it again next time.

友人と二人でハワイ旅行の予定が急きょ一人旅行となり、すこしへこんでいましたが、こちらのツアーを見つけ参加させていただくことに。乗馬体験は初めてでしたが、とても親切に日本語で教えて下さり、楽しめました。何と言っても広大な景色美しい場所に私が馬に乗って・・・。帰国してだいぶ経ちますがまた次回もぜひ体験したいです。

Reading everyone's experiences in advance was very helpful. The items I brought and used included disposable towels, sweat wipes (even if it doesn't look dirty, it gets dirty when you wipe), and a garbage bag for my belongings (which can be placed at the foot of the passenger seat, saving the $5 locker fee).

Since there are three breaks and photo opportunities, some people brought water. On the way to Kualoa Ranch, it drizzled a bit, so having a raincoat would be reassuring.

My clothes got dirty, and my hair became messy, so I took a shower when I returned to the hotel. Even though I didn't understand English, I had a great time, and the mountains and ocean were incredibly beautiful and moving. I think this is an experience that is hard to come by in Japan.

事前に皆さんの体験談を読ませて頂いていたため、とても役に立ちました。持って行って使った物は、捨ててもよいタオル、汗拭きシート(顔は見た目ではあまりわからなくても拭くと汚れていました)、荷物を入れるゴミ袋(助手席の足元に置けるのでロッカー代5ドルが浮きます)。
3回休憩+写真タイムがあるので水を持っている方もいました。クアロアランチに向かう途中、パラパラと雨が降ったのでカッパもあった方が安心です。
服も汚れますし、髪もバサバサした感じになるのでホテルに帰ってシャワーを浴びました。
英語がわからなくても楽しかったですし、山や海がとても綺麗で感動しました。日本ではなかなか味わえない経験ができると思います。

This is the very first kayaking ocean tour my husband and I have ever been on. It definitely helps if you have experience in rowing a kayak. My husband had plenty experience in rowing a kayak in Canada even if it was only on rivers and lakes. We totally appreciated the kokua and patience from our lead guides, Winfield & Olivia. We were late joining our kayak tour. We appreciated Winfield's follow up call as we were running late due to tire pressure issues on our car rental and needed to check it out before we got to the keauhou Bay. When we showed up, we were pleasantly greeted right away by Olivia who stayed behind to ensure we had life jackets and that all our valuables were safely locked up in their truck. Olivia led us by kayak to the group and we were able to take a personal guided history and tour of the dragon's throat cave Winfield because the waters were starting to get a bit choppy. We later were anchored to our guides along with other kayakers to enjoy some snorkeling along the reef which was truly amazing. Somehow when our kayaks were anchored, I must've lost my balance getting back into our kayak because shortly after that, our kayak ended up tipping into the ocean along with my phone. Winfield was very kind to fish it out of the ocean and Olivia quickly poured regular bottled water on my my phone but u/f my phone is still dying a slow salt
corrosion death. The good news is that we were still able to obtain the data of the beautiful photos and videos of our adventure. We loved learning the history and sharing great camraderie with Winfield and Olivia who are expert kayakers and tour guides. They made us feel very safe and at ease the whole time. Wilfield also helped calm me down after we tipped and made sure I was ok after rescuing my phone. We also enjoyed snacks and drinks and when we got back to shore, Winfield cut us fresh pineapple and we enjoyed eating that. Thank you Winfield and Olivia for a fantastic adventure!

My whole family enjoyed this experience! There were plenty of whales breaching and splashing all around us, they gave us a great show. The entire crew was friendly and knowledgeable about the whales and the catamaran too. I would recommend this trip to anyone during the whale season! We will do it again on our next trip. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The sandbar trip was so fun. My husband and I had a great time. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and the boat is clean. The lunch was great and we overall had an amazing time. We would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone either as a couples trip or as a family trip. I think it’s great for all ages.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in over 10 years. Previously, I could take a direct bus from Waikiki and freely enter the water, but it seems that after COVID, you can no longer enter without a ticket. I gave up on getting a ticket since they are sold online only two days in advance, so I joined this tour instead.

The guides were a very kind and wonderful Japanese woman and a gentle foreign man who spoke fluent Japanese. From the entrance to the explanatory video and entering the water, it was a bit complicated, so I felt it was difficult without a Japanese-speaking guide.

They took us to a snorkeling spot with lots of fish, which was really fun. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, I was glad to see many different types of fish. I recommend this for anyone wanting to visit Hanauma Bay. Also, if you're going in winter, a wetsuit is essential. The sun is hot, but the water temperature is surprisingly low.

10年以上ぶりにハナウマベイに行きました。
以前はワイキキからバス1本で行けて、海にも自由に入れましたが、コロナ後は入場チケットがないと入れなくなったようです。しかも2日前からオンライン販売と、チケットを入手するのは難しいと諦め、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
ガイドは日本人のとても親切で素敵な女性と
、日本語ペラペラの優しい外国人男性です。
入場から説明ビデオから海に入るまで、少しややこしいので、日本語のガイドさんがいないとやはり難しかったなあと思いました。
シュノーケルも魚がさくさんいるポイントに案内してくれて、とても楽しかったです。
ウミガメは見れませんでしたが、様々な種類の魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
ハナウマベイに行かれたい方には、おすすめします。
あと、冬に行かれる場合は、ウェットスーツが必須です。日差しは暑いですが、水温は意外と低いです。

The breeze was pleasant, and it was a very enjoyable cruise! The captain spotted a whale and chased after it several times. From a distance, we could see the spray and the tail!
At one point, the boat stopped, and those who wanted to swim went into the water. We didn't swim because we thought it might get cold after getting out of the sea.
Indeed, during this time of year, it gets chilly after sunset. I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket.
Also, the night view of Waikiki was very beautiful!
I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

風が気持ち良く、とても楽しいクルーズでした！キャプテンがくじらを発見し、何度も追いかけてくれました。遠くからですが、しぶきと尾ひれが見えました！
途中で船を停めてくれて、海に入りたい人は泳いでいました。私たちは海から出た後、寒くなりそうだったので、泳ぎませんでした。
やはり、この時期は、日が沈んでからは、肌寒くなってきました。長袖の上着を持ってきていて良かったと思いました。
そして、ワイキキの夜景がとても綺麗でした！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

Das Waikiki Luau Dinner bestach durch sein überaus freundliches Personal und das hervorragende Essen, das traditionelle polynesische Geschmäcker gekonnt in Szene setzte. Besondere Höhepunkte des Abends waren die mitreißende Polynesische Show und die spektakulären Auftritte der Doubles von Elvis Presley und Michael Jackson. Diese Darbietungen brachten eine einzigartige Energie und Begeisterung, die das Publikum faszinierte. Die Kombination aus exzellenter Gastfreundschaft, kulinarischen Highlights und diesen hochkarätigen Performances machte unseren Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die einen Hauch von Hollywood in der hawaiianischen Kultur erleben möchten.

I visited here quite a while ago, and it feels like it has been upgraded. There are various shows centered around Elvis and Michael, as well as a fire show and other performances with things hanging from the ceiling. I might come back in a few years.

かなり前に一度来たことがありまたが、グレードアップした気がします。
エルビスとマイケルのショーを中心にファイヤーショー、また天井から吊らされたりといろいろあります。また何年か後に来ようかな

Although it said that the explanation would be in English, I saw that they provided a detailed explanation in Japanese in the experience section, so I decided to give it a try and participated with determination. However, I couldn't understand the initial explanation in English at all! I bravely asked if they could accommodate me in Japanese with my limited English, and they smiled and said okay, explaining in broken Japanese. The riding instructor also kindly taught me using Japanese words, and I could feel their love for the horses and their desire to make us enjoy the experience. It was a lot of fun! I was very satisfied!

説明は英語でと表示がありましたが体験談の所で日本語で丁寧に説明してもらったとあったので挑戦してみようと頑張って参加しました。
やはり最初の説明は英語で聞き取るどころかちんぷんかんぷん！
思い切って、つたない私の英語で日本語対応はできないかと聞くと笑顔でokと言ってカタコト日本語で説明してくれました。
乗馬のインストラクターも日本語の単語で親切に教えてくださり、
馬への愛情や私たちを楽しませてくれようとする気持ちが伝わり、たのしかったです。大満足！

It was really disappointing to have my first rainy day in Hawaii, but I did my best to climb. The waterfall with its drop was impressive! ☺️ The sandwich and acai bowl for lunch were delicious! ⤴️

ハワイ来てはじめての雨の一日で本当に残念でしたでも頑張って登りました落差のある滝見応え有りました☺️昼食のサンドイッチ、アサイボール美味しかったです～⤴️

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery without any waves. Next time, I will sign up for a Japanese tour!

クジラが見れなかったのが残念でしたでも波もなく素晴らしい景色堪能しました☺️次回は日本語ツアー申込します❗

We drove up to an elevation of 4,200 meters, and thanks to our guide's safe driving, we were able to enjoy the scenery from the car windows, including some gravel roads. The mountaintop, where the astronomical observation facilities are located, was a bit chilly, but the changing colors of the sky until sunset were beautiful.

標高4,200ｍにクルマで登りますが、一部ある砂利道も含めてガイドさんの安全運転で車窓からの風景を安心して楽しめました。天体観測施設が並ぶ山頂は少し寒かったですが、日没までの空色の変化がきれいでした。

I participated with my 4-year-old grandchild in a three-generation trip. Even though it was the end of November in Hawaii, and I was worried about the cold sea since my grandchild is still young, thanks to the thoughtful support from the Japanese staff, we were able to see manta rays and had a great time. Thank you to the staff. Next time, I will visit during a warmer season.

4歳の孫と三世代で参加しました。
11月末でハワイと言っても海は冷たく　まだ孫が低年齢なので心配していたのですが、日本人スタッフの方の気の利いた対応で、無事マンタも見れて
楽しく過ごせました。
スタッフの方、ありがとうございました。
次回は暖かい季節に行きますね。

This is one of the best tour I had, the driver always take care of you even if you Re late lol.
But it was an amazing experience you can meet new people and have a great time, I would do it again when I come back to kona!

Very organized and well ran. Both guides were informative and very kind and eager to help with anything. Thank you so much!

Enjoy the entire experience a lot, especially the banana boats. It was so much fun! If it's your first time in Hawaii, you definitely have to book this package!

I had always been interested but thought it was a bit pricey, so I hadn't participated until now. However, I was able to join as a free monitor for the second person, and I'm glad I did. It was a lot of fun to participate. The behind-the-scenes tour of the show was great, and the group I was with was lively and made it even more enjoyable. I believe the fun can vary quite a bit depending on the group you’re with, but we were lucky to have such an enthusiastic group. The food and the hula were all excellent. I was hit by sleepiness right at the start of the show due to jet lag and fullness, but as the show went on, it became so enjoyable that the sleepiness just disappeared. It became a wonderful memory. I'm really glad I participated.

いつも気になっていましたがお高めだなと思って参加せずにいましたが今回2人目無料モニターが取れたため参加させていただきました。結果とても楽しく参加して良かったです。ショーの裏側巡りも一緒になったグループの方が明るい方たちで盛り上がりました。一緒に周るグループでもかなり楽しさが変わってくると思いますが私達のグループは盛り上がりラッキーだったと思います。お料理もフラも全て良かったです。時差ボケと満腹感でショーの始まってすぐは睡魔が襲ってきましたがショーが進むにつれ楽しくて睡魔もどこかに吹っ飛んでしまいました。いい思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

My wife and I took this tour with our three young kids. We had a very knowledgeable guide for our tour—Ray. He is a native of Waipo Valley and he had a lot of good information to tell us both about Waipo Valley and Hawaiian history in general. Beyond this, the valley itself is breathtakingly beautiful! All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Overall, this was an excellent tour!

After finishing, when I took off my helmet and goggles, my face was completely black, and I couldn't help but laugh. For women, I recommend going without makeup so you can wash your face easily. The touring experience in the great outdoors, which you can't have in Japan, was amazing!

終わってヘルメットとゴーグルをとったら、顔が真っ黒で大笑い。女性の方は顔を洗えるように素っぴんがおすすめです。
日本では体験出来ない大自然の中のツーリングは最高でした！

Last year, I went to a sandbar on another tour, but this one was better. The weather was nice, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The rice balls were surprisingly delicious. I plan to recommend it to my friends.

去年、他のツアーでサンドバーに行きましたが、今回の方が良かったです。
天気も良くウミガメがすぐそばで見れました。
おにぎりが意外にも美味しかったです。
友達にも勧めようと思います。
