All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

If you're expecting a sandbar where you can walk when the tide goes out, it might be a bit different. Still, I had a wonderful and elegant time with cheerful instructors, including some Japanese, and enjoyed live music on the boat.

There was a raft near the snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP spots, and spending time sunbathing while enjoying the view from there was fantastic.

While being pulled on a banana boat, I happened to see a sea turtle swimming nearby!

いわゆる、潮が引いて歩けるサンドバーを期待すると、ちょっと違うかもしれません。
それでも日本人も含む、陽気なインストラクターさんと、船内は生演奏の音楽もあってとても気持ちがよく優雅な時間を過ごせました。

シュノーケル、カヤック、SUPスポットの近くにイカダがあって、その上で景色を眺めながら日向ぼっこをしている時間も最高でした。

バナナボートに乗って引っ張られている最中、たまたまですが、ぷかぷか泳いでいるウミガメを見ることもできました！

The buggy can accommodate up to five people, with two of them registered as drivers. A Japanese driver's license is required for drivers.

The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the best views. As rumored, you will get completely covered in dust and dirt. After the tour, you can wash off the dirt at the wash area, but having wet wipes is convenient. My face had clear marks from the helmet and goggles and turned black, haha.

Each person received one face mask on the day, which is useful for covering your mouth while driving.

The instructor was very humorous and occasionally made jokes while explaining at photo spots. The explanations are in English, so if you understand English, you can enjoy it even more, but even if you don't, it will still be a memorable experience.

バギーは１台で５人まで乗れ、そのうち２人をドライバーとして登録できます。ドライバーは日本の免許証の提示が必須です。

天気が良く、最高の景色を堪能できました。
噂通り、全身砂ぼこりで真っ黒になります。ツアー後、洗い場で汚れを落とすこともできますが、ウェットティッシュがあると便利です。
顔はヘルメット・ゴーグルの跡がきれいについて、黒くなりました笑

フェイスマスクは当日ひとり１まいずつもらえました。口を覆うことができるので、走行中、役に立ちます。

インストラクターさんは、とてもユーモアのある方で時折ジョークを交えてフォトスポットで説明をしてくれます。説明は英語なので、英語が理解できるとより楽しめますが、理解できなくても十分楽しい思い出になります。

The staff was cheerful and kind. I have flown many times before, but this felt like a completely different drive into the sky. I gave up my window seat to a friend, but I felt like that was a mistake. I think it would be difficult for those with a fear of heights, but I would recommend it to people who enjoy attractions like roller coasters. I think I would like to ride it again.

スタッフも明るく、親切でした。今まで飛行機✈️は何度も乗っていますが、まったく違った空へのドライブって感じですか、友人に窓側（外側）を譲りましたが、失敗した感がありました。
高所恐怖症の方は難しいと思いますが、ジェットコースター等アトラクションが好きな人にはオススメですね？
もう一度乗りたいと思う、と思います。

There is nothing in particular. But it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun.

It was a great experience and best time I and my friends had in Honolulu. All staff was very nice and helped us to enjoy the activities safely. Thank you and we will visit again!

It was my first horseback riding experience, and it became the best memory!
Basically, there is no explanation about the area; it's an activity to enjoy the scenery and interact with the horses.
I had heard that the instructor only speaks English, but they provided necessary instructions in simple Japanese, so there were no difficulties.
The horse (Joe) was also very capable, moving forward and stopping without needing much direction.
Towards the end, my back and legs started to hurt, so that's something to be cautious about.
(I was checked on-site to ensure I was wearing shoes that covered my toes. They also mentioned that long pants are required, but there were people riding in shorts as well.)

初の乗馬体験でしたが、最高の思い出になりました！
基本的にエリア内の説明などはなく、景色や馬との触れ合いを楽しむアクティビティです
インストラクターは英語しか話さないと聞いていましたが、必要な指示等は簡単な日本語でしてくれるので不自由はありませんでした。
馬(ジョーくん)も非常に優秀で、特に指示を出さなくても進んだり止まったりしてくれました。
終盤は腰や足が痛くなってくるので、その点は注意が必要です。
(しっかりつま先が隠れる靴を履いているかは現地でも確認されました。長ズボンも必須と言われていましたが、半ズボンで乗馬している人もいました)

It was a fun trip. The employees, other than Justin, could have been a tad friendlier but overall a fun trip.

The ATV tour was amazing. My daughter and nephews loved the little race track session within the tour. The tour guides were very friendly and personable.

The driver who picked us up introduced us to the shops along the way, so we arrived at our destination in no time. The staff at Captain Bruce's were very kind and cheerful, and they provided support in Japanese. They explained all the dangerous parts of the marine activities in Japanese, which made us feel safe while having fun. There was also a staff member who explained things in a charming Kansai dialect, which was delightful. We were able to swim with turtles, and the view of the mountains from the sea was incredibly beautiful. It was a precious sight.

On the boat, there were hot drinks, canned juices, snacks, fruits, and spam rice balls. The rice balls and Swissmiss after swimming were very delicious. There are no changing rooms, so getting into the air-conditioned shuttle with wet swimsuits can be quite chilly. It was necessary to bring a few larger towels to use as blankets. It was that cold. It's better not to bring valuables, but since tips are not included, it was necessary to prepare cash for the tip boxes on the boat and in the shuttle.

送迎のドライバーさんは、道沿いにあるお店の紹介をしながら運転してくれるので、現地にはあっという間に着きました。キャプテンブルースの方々はとても親切で明るく、日本語のサポートもあり、マリンアクティビティの危険な所も全て日本語で説明してくれたので、安心して遊ぶことができました。謎に関西弁で説明するスタッフさんがいて癒されました。カメと泳ぐことも出来、海から見る山々がとても綺麗でした。貴重な景色です。
船内ではホットドリンクや缶ジュース、スナック・フルーツ・スパムおにぎりがあり、泳いだ後のおにぎりとSwissmissはとても美味しかったです。更衣室がないので、濡れたままの水着でエアコンの効いた送迎車に乗るのは体が冷えます。大きめタオルを何枚か持って行ってブランケット代わりにする必要がありました。そのくらい寒いです。貴重品は持参しない方が良いですが、チップが含まれていないので、船内にあるチップボックスと、送迎車内にあるチップボックスに入れるお札は準備が必要でした。

The explanations are all in English, so it might be difficult to understand unless you have a certain level of proficiency. However, the staff is very kind, and they will answer your questions gently. After the tour, I had to wait about two hours for the return shuttle bus, so I think it would be better if they could increase the frequency of the buses. The breathtaking views were amazing, and it was a fantastic experience!

説明は全て英語なので、ある程度分かる方でないと理解できないかもしれません。しかし、スタッフの方はとても優しいので、聞けば優しく答えてくれます。ツアーが終わってから、帰りの送迎バスまで2時間ほど待たされたので、もう少し便数を増やしてもらえると良いと思いました。
絶景が広がり最高の体験ができました！

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

The two instructors, Dan and Chieko, were very polite and kind, and they took good care of us, so I was able to join without any anxiety. I was very satisfied because we got to snorkel for a full hour at great spots. The tour was conducted entirely in Japanese, so even those who can't speak English at all can feel at ease.

When I went ten years ago, there was no need to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, so I went there by TheBus on my own. However, I heard that making a reservation is very difficult now, and I was half resigned to that. But I really wanted to see that beautiful ocean, and even though I thought it might be a bit expensive, I’m glad I went. I'm considering asking for this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。

インストラクターのお2人ダンさん、ちえこさんもとても丁寧で優しくて気にかけてくれたので全く不安なく参加できましたし、良いスポットを1時間たっぷりシュノーケリングで回れたので大満足でした。ツアーは終始日本語なので英語が全くできない人でも安心です。

10年前に行った時はハナウマ湾への予約の必要がなかったので自分でTheBusで行ってましたが、今は予約を取るのがとても大変と聞いて半分諦めてました。でもどうしてもあの綺麗な海に行きたくてちょっと高いかなと思ったけどやっぱり行って良かったです。また次にハワイに来た時もお願いしようかなと思っています。

ありがとうございました。

The staff are dedicated to ensuring everyone has a great time, so you can enjoy the experience safely and happily. With Japanese staff members Miki and Yuya present, there's no need to worry; they make sure you have fun. I was able to meet several types of dolphins and sea turtles, and it was enjoyable once again.

The waves were higher than during my last experience in the summer, and it was windy and cold when we went out to sea, with the water temperature also being low. I wore a rash guard to prevent sunburn, but the wet rash guard got cold in the wind, and I was shivering the whole time. Since you can move around freely during the experience, you might get sunburned, but the scenery is wonderful, and I recommend staying on the second floor to combat seasickness and the cold.

The marine activities were fantastic, especially the slide from the boat! Professional photographer Yuya created bubble rings for us. I’m looking forward to the photos.

I’m grateful for the wonderful staff and scenery.

スタッフの方たちが、絶対にみんなに楽しんで欲しい！という気持ちで頑張ってくれるので、安全に楽しく体験出来ます。
日本スタッフのミキさんと裕也さんがいてくださって、なんの不安もなく楽しませてくれます。
数種類のイルカとウミガメにも会うことができ、今回も楽しかったです。

前回夏に体験した時よりも波が高く、沖に出ると風も冷たく、水温も引くかったです。日焼け防止にラッシュガードを上下着用していましたが、風があたると濡れたラッシュガードが冷えてしまい、終始震えていました。途中から席の移動が自由に出来るので、日焼けはしますが、景色も素晴らしいですし、船酔いと寒さ対策には2階にいることをおすすめします。

マリンアクティビティは、船からのスライダーが最高でした！
プロカメラマンの裕也さんがバブルリングをやってくれました。今から写真が楽しみです。

素晴らしいスタッフと景色に感謝です。

In Japan, you can enjoy a refreshing ride around a ranch surrounded by mountains and the sea on a buggy. It was an exhilarating and moving experience that made me forget the passage of time.

日本では、なかなか味わうことができない山と海に囲まれた牧場を、バギーで爽快に走り回ることができます。時間が経つのが忘れるほど、興奮と感動の体験でした。

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The English guide was very kind, but if you can't speak English, you won't know the meeting place and time for the return. It would be very helpful if you could provide guidance in Japanese using a whiteboard or notes.

当日はお天気も良くて、海が綺麗で魚めたくさん見られました。英語ガイドさんはとても親切でしたが、英語が話せないと帰りの待ち合わせ場所や時間が分かりません。
ホワイトボードやメモなど日本語で案内してもらえるととっても助かります。

We participated as a couple during our trip. The weather was perfect, and we had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful sea and sky while listening to the sound of the waves, the wind, and the chirping of birds. Although there was some construction noise from the nearby café during the experience, it didn't bother us much while doing yoga.

Having a Japanese instructor provided a sense of security, and about half of the participants were locals, which allowed us to fully enjoy the local atmosphere. I highly recommend it! After the session, you can jump straight into the sea, so it might be a good idea to wear a swimsuit!

旅行中、夫婦で参加しました。最高の天気で、きれいな海や空を見ながら、波や風の音、鳥のさえずりを聞きながら、とても気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。体験時は隣のカフェが工事中で作業音がしていましたが、ヨガしているとそんなこともあまり気にならなかったです。
日本語インストラクターさんで安心感ありつつ、受講者は半分くらいローカルの方で、現地の雰囲気を満喫でき、とてもオススメです。
終わったあとそのまま海に飛び込むことも出来るので、水着を着て行くといいかもしれません！

On this sailing trip, you can see breathtaking views that are unlike anything you've seen before, almost like a movie set, from the boat!

The view of Waikiki Beach from the sea is exceptional, and watching the sun set over Waikiki and Diamond Head is simply wonderful.

The beautiful scenery of the sun gradually sinking into the ocean will undoubtedly become one of your unforgettable memories in Hawaii.

Happy sailing!

このセーリングでは　他で見たこともない雄大でまるで映画のセットのような美しい光景をボートから見ることができます!

海から見るワイキキビーチも格別で　夕日に沈むワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。

海の中に太陽が徐々に沈んでいく美しい景色は　ハワイでの忘れられない思い出の一つになることは間違いないです。

ハッピー　セーリング〜

We participated in the horseback riding starting at 8 AM with four people. After seeing everyone's reviews, I noticed that those who had transportation included mentioned having time until the return bus, so we decided to join without transportation. We took a round trip with Hanataxi, and they picked us up on time without any issues.

None of us had horseback riding experience, and our backsides did get sore, but riding on well-trained, gentle horses while enjoying the magnificent scenery for about 90 minutes was a great experience. Our group had one instructor for every six people. Along the way, they took photos for us and sent them via AirDrop at the end, which made for a nice keepsake.

I noticed some participants were wearing shorts, but since the horses frequently relieve themselves, I recommend wearing long pants.

8時からの乗馬に4名で参加しました。皆さんの口コミを見て送迎付きだと帰りのバスまで時間があるとの事だったので送迎なしで参加しました。往復ハナタクシーで行きましたが、予約時間通りに送迎してもらい問題なかったです。
4名共に乗馬経験はなくお尻が痛くなりましたが、訓練された穏やかな馬にのり壮大な景観を見ながら約90分の乗馬はいい経験になりました。私達のグループは6名に一人のインストラクターでした。途中では写真を撮ってくださり最後にエアードロップで送ってもらえていい記念になりました。
短パンで参加されている方もいらっしゃいましたが、頻回に馬が排泄をするので長ズボンがおすすめです。

Check in was easy, food was so good, employees were very helpful, loved the dancing while eating, free mai tai and the rock show was AWESOME!! Elvis was great, MJ was cool and Chardonnay was the best hostess. If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely go to the show again.

The atmosphere was really lovely during the dinner surrounded by strangers! A stylish drink was included, and we could choose whether it had alcohol or not. However, there weren't many dishes that I found delicious, perhaps because they didn't suit Japanese tastes. The meat was incredibly tasty, so I ended up eating a lot of that. The show was impressive, and there were familiar songs, which made it very enjoyable. Both the food and the show really captured the Hawaiian vibe, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the atmosphere of Hawaii.

知らない人と席を囲んでの会食で雰囲気もとても素敵でした！
オシャレなワンドリンクも付いてきました。アルコール入りかなしか選べました。
でも、あまり日本人の口に合わないのか、美味しいと思える料理は少なかったです。お肉はすごく美味しかったのでそればっかり食べてました。
ショーは迫力があり、馴染みの曲もあったりしてとても楽しめました。
食事もショーもハワイの雰囲気をとても感じれたので、ハワイの雰囲気を楽しみたい人におすすめです。

I went for a morning jog along the beach from my hotel in Waikiki to Kapiolani Park. I enjoyed group yoga with locals and Japanese participants from the tour.

In front of me was the sparkling blue ocean, and when I lay on my back, I could see the blue sky and the green trees swaying in the gentle breeze. The location was simply amazing, and it made my heart soar.

With my eyes closed, I was able to relax and do yoga while feeling the sounds of the waves and the wind. It was a truly wonderful experience, and I'm so glad I participated.

ワイキキのホテルからビーチ沿いを朝ジョギングしてカピオラニ公園へ。
現地の方やツアーで参加した日本人と一緒にグループヨガを楽しみました。

目の前にはキラキラ輝く青い海、仰向けすれば青い空とそよ風に揺れる緑の木、
あまりに最高のロケーションに心が躍りました。

目をつぶって波の音、風の音を感じながら
リラックスしてヨガをすることができ、
参加して本当に良かったと思える時間でした。

I went parasailing for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The sky was quieter and more stable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy the scenery and the height. The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. There were many people from Japan, so we took photos and videos of each other and shared them, but there was no photo service provided as part of the tour.

初めてパラセーリングをしましたがとても素晴らしい体験ができました。
上空は思っていた以上に静かで安定していて景色や高さを楽しめました。お天気がいまいちだったのでそこだけが残念でした。
日本の方が多くいらっしゃったのでお互いに写真やムービーを撮り合って共有しましたが、ツアーとしては写真サービスはなかったです。

Everything was perfect !
Check in was smooth with Brooke!
Pilot Markus very knowledgeable, calm, a master!
The music and explanations were awesome
Exceeded expectations!
Thank you so much

The weather was unfortunate, as it was cloudy and rainy, making it cold to enter the sea. However, the support from the guide was wonderful, and I was able to participate comfortably. The captain, like a behind-the-scenes supporter, made charcoal-grilled hamburgers, and during the sea turtle watching, he skillfully guided the boat. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice, but I still enjoyed seeing the beautiful coral and swimming tropical fish.

天気は残念で曇ってたら、雨が降ったりと海に入るのにも寒かったのですが、ガイドの方のフォローが素晴らしく、気持ち良く参加できました。縁の下の力持ち的にキャプテンが炭火焼きのハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、ウミガメウォッチングでは上手く船を誘導してくれてました。
天気が良かったら最高だとは思いますが、綺麗な珊瑚と泳ぐ熱帯魚を見て楽しめました。

The food was delicious, and the level of crowding was not too much, which was great. The show was enjoyable for the whole family, with the men's powerful performances and the women's captivating dances.

料理も美味しく、混雑度合いもそこまでで良かったです。
ショーは男性の迫力と女性の魅力的な踊りで家族みんなが楽しめました。

We had an amazing experience and time on this trip. Our tour guide, Stefan, was deeply knowledgeable, fun and friendly. The tour started on time and went out perfect. They provided mitts and coats which kept us warm along with hot chocolate. It was a great evening with no clouds. The views were unforgettable. Five stars, would book again!

We participated as a couple. The woman guiding us was calm and reassuring. We enjoyed a leisurely one-hour walk along a designated route overseas. Although it was November, the weather across the North Shore was poor that day, with occasional light rain.

I haven't experienced other horseback riding, but it might be lacking for those seeking an adventurous element.

- About a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from Waikiki
- Restrooms available
- There was a child around 6 years old with other customers.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
案内してくれる女性も穏やかな方で安心でした。
海外の決まったルートをのんびり1時間くらいお散歩でした。
11月でしたが、当日はノースショア全体の天気が悪く、たまに霧雨が降るような感じでした。

他の乗馬は未体験ですが、アドベンチャー的な要素を求めている方には物足りないかもしれません。


・ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間15分くらい
・トイレあり
・6歳くらいの子どももいました（他のお客様）

I reserved a VIP seat. From check-in, I was treated with great hospitality, and we toasted with a welcome drink once seated. Each group had a commemorative photo taken. The buffet style starts with the VIP seats. The taste of the dinner was satisfying across the board. There were dishes like yakisoba, which I thought was considerate for families and first-time visitors. There was a variety of fish and meats, including beef, pork, and chicken, with the roast beef being particularly recommended. The show was moving in every aspect. On the way back, I was grateful for the opportunity to get signatures and take commemorative photos with the artists on my personal smartphone.

VIP席を予約しました。チェックインから丁寧におもてなしして頂き、着座からウェルカムドリンクで乾杯。グループ毎に記念撮影して頂きました。
ブァフェスタイルも順番がVIP席からになります。
ディナーのお味はどれも満足です。
焼そばなどもあり、ファミリーやファーストタイムの方の料理にも配慮して頂いているなぁっと思います。お魚、お肉はビーフ、ポーク、チキン全てあって、中でもローストビーフオススメ。
ショーは全ての面で感動します。
見て見て
帰りもアーティストからのサインや記念撮影も個人のスマホで撮って頂き感謝でした。

After our children became adults, we took a trip to Hawaii as a couple for the first time in over 20 years. We wanted to do something memorable, so we signed up for parasailing. Although I felt a bit scared, the weather was great on the day of the activity, and once we were up in the air, it was stable and we enjoyed the refreshing breeze while taking in the stunning views of Honolulu. At the end, we had the usual splash in the sea, but they also check in advance how much you'll be submerged, which was very reassuring. I would love to do it again the next time we visit Hawaii.

子供たちも社会人になり、20数年ぶりに夫婦2人でのハワイ旅行。何か思い出に残ることをやってみようと思い、パラセイリングに申し込みました。
少し怖い気持ちもありましたが、当日は天気も良く、空に上がってみれば安定していて、気持ちよい空気の中、ホノルルの絶景を堪能できました。
最後はお決まりの海ポチャになりますが、どの程度海に浸かるかも事前に確認してくれるので、とても安心です。
次にハワイに行くときもやってみたいと思います。

I love the ocean in Hawaii, but since I'm with my elderly parents, I won't be swimming during our stay. I wanted to experience the feeling of being in a resort, so I participated in this activity. It's refreshing to see Waikiki from the sea, which I usually walk through. Since I participated on the day of arrival, spending a leisurely time on the boat felt like a luxurious experience. Although Japanese is not spoken, it was a time where communication wasn't necessary, so there were no inconveniences.

ハワイの海は好きですが、高齢の親と一緒なので滞在中は泳ぎません。
せっかくリゾート地に来た感覚を味わいたくて参加しました。
いつも歩いているワイキキを海から見られるのは新鮮な感じです。
到着日に参加ということもあり、
船でのんびりとゆったりと過ごせるのは贅沢な時間です。
日本語は通じませんが、特に会話しなくても問題ない時間でしたので、不都合も無かったっです。

First time visitor to Oahu and first outing planned. Beautiful vistas; ATV adventure enabled us to see parts of the Ranch at a comfortable and interactive pace.
