All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

What views, the crater and then the whole shoreline of Waikiki from above, its unreal! Cant wait to go back.

How amazing, my kids really loved every island and all the work put in.

A lovely day nearby to the hotels, quick and easy to find and fun for the kids to get in the water!

Lots to do, ending show was fabulous, and dinner all there was a great day in full!

It was so great to learn alot about the sharks and their environment with a crew that you can tell takes great care for the land.

What an awesome tour, it was great to get to see the island from above, nothing beats it.

This is a blast of a day! The best tour we had on our trip!

We had mild expectations due to my wife's previous whale watching trip.
This visit exceeded our expectations. The captain was very informative and kept us on our toes with whale sightings. W e had a great time for our party of 5.

One of the best adventures we did while in Hawaii. The staff was great, the history of the ranch was so exciting to learn about. It’s a must do while in Hawaii.We are still talking about our great times on vacation.

Thank you for all you all for an amazing day!!!

It takes about a 50-minute drive from Waikiki to arrive. There are various experience tours available, and it's a popular tourist destination visited by many. The horses provided are well-trained and walk in a line without needing any guidance. However, my horse seemed a bit stubborn and didn't move until the guide gave it a gentle tap on the rear. I had a great experience riding through the magnificent grounds surrounded by mountains, and we also passed near the seaside. The breeze from the ocean added to the feeling of being in nature.

ワイキキから車で50分のドライブで到着。いろんな体験ツアーが用意されており、沢山の観光客が訪れている観光地です。
用意されている馬は慣れており、何もしなくても列を作って歩いていきます。ただ、私の馬はひねくれ者のようで、引率者のおねーさんが馬のお尻を叩くまで、動きません。良い体験をしました、山に囲まれた壮大な敷地を乗馬しますが、海辺の近くも通ります。海からの風もあり、自然を感じました。

I was overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. The location of the steep entrance in the rugged canyon, along with abundant water sources, is said to have once been the capital. Although it suffered damage from tsunamis twice, it is believed that everyone was safe due to the powerful mana (spiritual power) that protects it. We descended to the valley floor in a four-wheel drive vehicle, crossing four to five small streams. We got off at a riverbed further in to take a break, and it felt like a mysterious and sacred place. My wife wanted to explore on horseback, but due to my weight limit, we had to settle for the four-wheel drive course.

雄大な景色に圧倒されました。切り立った渓谷で急勾配の出入り口の立地、豊富な水源で、かつては首都となっていたそうです。2回、津波による被害を受けましたが、全員無事だったのは、強力なマナ（霊力）によって守られていると信じられています。四輪駆動車で谷底までおり、４～５の小川を渡っていきます。奥の河原で下りて休憩しましたが、神秘的で神聖な場所と感じ取れます。妻は、乗馬で散策するコースを希望していましたが、私の体重制限で断念して、四輪駆動車のコースとなりました。

We used it with three people.

Since we were the first, we were thrown into the sea without a moment to catch our breath. Haha.

It became the best memory!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

3人で利用しました。

トップバッターだったので、息つく間もなく
海上に飛ばされました。笑

最高の思い出となりました！

ありがとうございました^ ^

The guide spoke only English, but was very kind and took many family photos for us. The guide's leading on the bike was considerate of the entire group, allowing everyone to enjoy without feeling rushed. Along the way, we visited many movie filming locations, but aside from Jurassic Park, I hadn't seen any of them before. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had done some research beforehand. That said, we were blessed with good weather, and riding the e-mountain bike through the great outdoors was incredibly fun and amazing.

英語のみのガイドさんでしたが、とても親切で、たくさん家族の写真を撮ってくれました。
ガイドさんのバイクの先導も、一行全員を気づかっていただき、慌てることなく、参加した全員が楽しめたように感じます。
途中、映画のロケシーンを沢山まわりたしたが、ジュラシックパークス以外は見たことがなく、予習しておけば、もっと楽しめたとおもいます。
とはいっても、天気に恵まれ、eマウンテンバイクで大自然の風を切るのはとても楽しく、最高でした。

The trip was fantastic and Ray was super informative. It was a beautiful night and we got to see a lot of stars and planets and the moon rising as well. It was spectacular and a must try for everyone! We thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!! Also loved the hot chocolate touch at the end because it was quite cold on the slopes. The pickup and drop off was on time. The one thing that could have been better in my opinion was the food options and I also wished we had stopped somewhere to see the spectacular sunset. Apart from that, we really enjoyed it

At first, I was anxious, but the crew's support and safety equipment made me feel secure, and I was able to enjoy the zip line! It was amazing✨. I was fine in short sleeves and shorts. Since you wear a helmet, it would have been better to bring a hat! On the way to the location, you can also see movie filming spots!

最初は、不安でしたが、クルーの対応や安全器具で安心して、ZIP LINEを楽しめました!最高です✨
半袖、半ズボンでも、大丈夫でした。ヘルメットをかぶるので、帽子を持っていったほうが良かったです!
現地に、行く途中、映画の撮影場所も見ることができます!

I'm really glad I was able to enter Hanauma Bay, which requires a reservation! The instructor was very polite and spoke Japanese, which was quite helpful. There were 10 participants and 2 instructors this time, but since the activities were tailored to the participants' levels, the snorkeling ended up being quite shallow, and the water clarity wasn't great. I was really looking forward to snorkeling in Hawaii, so it was a bit disappointing.

予約がないと入れないハナウマベイに入れたのは、とってもよかったです‼︎
インストラクターの方はとても丁寧で日本語も話せるので、かなり助かりました。
今回は参加者10人、インストラクター2人だったのですが、参加者のレベルに合わせてになるので今回のシュノーケリングらかなり浅瀬のみでの実施になってしまい、普通のシュノーケリングかつ海の透明度もイマイチでした。。
ハワイでのシュノーケリングなのでかなり楽しみにしていた手前少し残念でした。。

There was a bit of swell until we reached the snorkeling point, but since it was a catamaran, we were able to go without much rocking. The crew was also friendly, and we had a great time.

シュノーケルポイントまで、うねりが少しありましたが、双胴船だったから揺れずにいけました。クルーも親切で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I have reserved a departure at 11:00.
There is a sign for the boarding area on the beach, so I think it will be easy to find.
After arriving, please confirm your name at the check-in counter, and then it's time to board.

The view of Waikiki from the ocean is wonderful.
Before departure, I requested to scatter my father's ashes during the cruise.
I was very grateful for the staff's thoughtfulness.

My father must be happy in heaven as well.

11:00出船を予約しました。
ビーチに乗り場の看板がありますので、すぐにわかると思います。
到着後はチェックインカウンターで名前を確認してもらい、いよいよ乗船。

沖から見るワイキキの景色は、素晴らしいです。
出発前にお願いをして、クルーズ中に父の散骨をさせていただきました。
スタッフさんの心遣いが大変嬉しかったです。

父も天国で喜んでくれているはずです。

I made a reservation for 1:00 PM.
I arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in at the counter inside the ranch.
Japanese is not spoken, so a translation app is necessary.
After checking in, walk to the right side of the ranch for a brief buggy training session.
A female staff member was in charge and really tried to make it exciting.
Raincoats and face masks are provided for free, and once you put on a full-face helmet, you're ready to go.

You get to explore various courses for about an hour.
Kualoa Ranch has an amazing location, but the time commitment and waiting can be long.
Here, you can start and finish quickly.
Once you're done, you can enjoy plenty of activities in Haleiwa before heading back.

Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.

However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.

During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.

After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.

生憎の雨模様でかなり寒く、ほとんどの人がサンドバーでは少し海に入って遊ぶだけでした。

ただ、自然のことですし、ハワイは12月が雨季ということで仕方がないですね。

海亀ウォッチングでは、多くの海亀を船上から見つけることができました。

その後、シュノーケリング。珊瑚礁の周りを魚が多く泳いでおり、いい経験になりました。願わくば次は夏のより暖かい季節に訪れたいと思います。

This was my first experience in Hawaii. The food was a buffet with a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and there were even desserts. There was also a performance during the meal, which was fantastic.

After the meal, we moved to watch a show, and it was very moving. I think it's worth experiencing at least once if you come to Hawaii. Lastly, we were able to greet the performers and take photos with them, which was fun.

Time flew by, but I believe it's a tour that can be utilized effectively.

初めてのハワイでの体験です。
ご飯はビュッフェでハワイのいろんな料理が食べれてデザートまでありました。
また食事中にパフォーマンスもあって最高でした。

食事後移動してショーを見ましたがとても感動しました。ハワイにきたなら一度体験してみる価値があると思います。
最後にグリーティングもできて出演者と写真も撮れて楽しかったです。

時間があっという間に過ぎましたが有効活用できるツアーだと思います。

I used the banana boat, and it was an incredibly thrilling experience due to the high speed. I also got to ride a canoe and encountered sea turtles. The staff provided fish food, which attracted a lot of fish, making snorkeling fantastic.

However, I went during low tide, and there was no visibility of land, with the water being deep enough that I could barely touch the bottom, so that was a bit disappointing.

自分はバナナボートを利用しました。かなり速度が出るため凄いスリリングな体験でした。またカヌーに乗ってウミガメにも出会うことが出来ました。魚用のエサをスタッフからもらえるので、たくさん魚が寄ってきて、シュノーケリングも最高でした。
ただ干潮の時間には行きましたが、陸地が見えるようなことはなく、脚がつくぐらいの深さ感でしたので、その点は残念でした。

The view from 150 meters is amazing. It was a breathtaking sight with Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii visible. Even during the waiting time for parasailing, the crew kept us entertained, so there was no time to get bored. However, the boat might be a bit rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

高さ150mの景色は最高。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハワイの街並みが見える絶景でした。パラセーリングの待ち時間も船員の方が色々と楽しませてくれるので、退屈する時間はありませんでした。ただ船は少し酔いやすいかもしれないので、酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。

We had a great time, the views were beautiful and the burger lunch was surprisingly delicious!

The staff were very friendly and provided great tips on what to explore around the area.

It was a 2-hour plan, but the pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15, and we returned to Waikiki at 16:30. It turned into a full-day plan. However, I was able to enjoy Kualoa Ranch thoroughly.

Even without the Secret Beach tour, you can easily walk to a nearby beach (more for viewing than swimming). For lunch, I brought a sandwich, but hamburgers and other items are available for purchase. Around 13:00, I craved some fries and stood in line, but even at that time, there was still a wait, and those who ordered hamburgers had to wait 20 minutes.

For horseback riding, you cannot wear a strap around your neck. All belongings except for water, a smartphone, and a camera must be placed in a locker that costs $5 for unlimited access. The locker is large enough for two backpacks.

*If you're worried about dropping your smartphone while on the horse, it might be best to leave it behind. The ground is full of horse manure. The horse I rode was quite laid-back and kept a considerable distance from the horse in front. I was urged on by those behind me and signaled a lot with my legs, which left my outer thigh muscles sore.

Horses seem to have their own personalities, and it can be challenging with certain horses, but overall, it was enjoyable. It was a calm horse, and it turned out to be a great experience.

2時間のプランでしたが、ワイキキのお迎えが8:15で、帰りにワイキキに着いたのが16:30でした。1日かかるプランになります。
ですが、クアロアランチを十分に楽しめました。
シークレットビーチツアーでなくても、歩いてすぐのビーチにも行けます(泳ぐと言うよりは眺める用)
ランチは、サンドイッチを作って持って行きましたが、ハンバーガーなど売ってます。13時過ぎくらいにポテトが食べたくて並びましたが、その時間でもまだ並んでいて、ハンバーガーなどを頼んだ人たちは20分待ちでした。
乗馬は、首からかけるストラップはつけられません。荷物は、水とスマホ、カメラ以外は全て5ドルで開け閉め自由のロッカーに入れます。ロッカーは2人分のリュックが入る大きさです。
※馬の上からスマホ等落としたら大変なので心配な人はおいていってもいいかもしれません。
地面は馬のふんだらけです。
私が乗った馬は、のんびりな性格の馬で前の馬からかなり距離をとって歩いていました。
後ろの人からもせっつかれて、たくさん足で合図したので足の腿の外側が筋肉痛になりました。
馬にも性格があるようで、そういう馬だと大変ですが、総じて楽しかったです。おとなしい馬で、いい経験になりました。

We had a wonderful time on our Waipio Shuttle experience with an exceptional guide, timely service, and of course, incredible scenery. Looking back on our family vacation to the Big Island, this was one of my favorite activities we got to share! Highly recommend, and look forward to returning.

I had a wonderful time enjoying elegant sea activities on a luxury boat. Thanks to a lovely female captain from Osaka, my son was also able to enjoy kayaking and snorkeling, and we were both very satisfied. I would love to use their services again when we go to Hawaii.

ラグジュアリーボートに乗ってとても優雅な海のアクティビティを楽しめました。大阪出身の素敵な女性キャプテンのおかげで息子もカヤックやシュノーケリングを楽しめて大満足でした。またハワイへ行くときはお世話になりたいです。

A must do experience on the big island. The tour guide did a great job of driving the very steep and very bumpy road and explaining the history of the valley. If you get car sick or can't handle a really bumpy ride, you may want to wait til a hiking trail is made. At this time, this is the only way to see the valley. We finished our tour with a Hawaiian lunch at the food truck down the road and a fruit stand. It was a perfect day.

If you want to see the rings of Saturn and Jupiter and craters of the moon then this tour is a must! Yoshi had everything taken care of for us. He had warm jackets, gloves, blankets, chairs, and a GPS computerized telescope. He was pleasant, kind, and knowledgeable. He even bought us donuts and made us hot tea! This tour was AMAZING! In our group of 4, it was a unanimous vote for the best tour of our whole vacation. We all enjoyed the beautiful sunset from a private location. Then, Yoshi brought out his personal telescope and showed us some stars, planets and the moon up close and personal. We had never seen anything like it before. We gave this tour 5 stars.

For two hours, my feet hurt a little, but I enjoyed the Hawaiian sun, blue sky, and breeze. I heard it was a rare sunny day, and I was blessed with great weather for a wonderful experience.

２時間、少し足の裏がいたくなりましたが、ハワイの太陽と青空そして風にのって、楽しく過ぎていきました。久しぶりに晴天になった日と聞き、天候にも恵まれて素晴らしい体験ができました。
