All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I applied to participate on-site, but I didn't realize the distance, and it took quite a while to get there by taxi. The horse riding itself was a lot of fun, and there were even sharks on the beach, which made it quite exciting.

現地参加で応募しましたが、距離感分かっておらず現地到着までにタクシーで相当かかりました。馬自体はとても楽しく、浜辺にサメがいたりして結構もりあがりました。

The weather was nice, which allowed us to see some very beautiful scenery! It was a really enjoyable experience.

The staff is accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, but the explanations will be in English. However, during the boat ride, there are also explanations in Japanese, so I think it would be reassuring to pay attention to those as well.

You can have photos taken during the experience for an additional fee, and since they took many pictures, it became a great memory. I definitely recommend requesting this!

天気が良かったことも幸いし、非常に良い景色が見られました！とても楽しい体験でした。
スタッフの方は日本人の対応にも慣れている方ではありますが、説明は英語になります。船で移動中に流れる説明では日本語でも説明があるので、そちらも注意して聞いていた方が安心して臨めるかと思います。
別料金で体験中の写真を撮っていただくことができるのですが、たくさん撮っていただけていい思い出になったため、ぜひお願いすることをおすすめします！

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. This time, I chose the zipline experience, which was different from my last visit. On the way to the starting point for the zipline, I was able to take in the vast scenery of Kualoa Ranch, and it truly felt like Kualoa at its best! I got to experience seven different ziplines, and it was exhilarating! The staff only provided explanations in English, so there were some conversations I couldn't fully understand, but that added to the fun and became a memorable part of my trip. Kualoa Ranch is definitely the best!

2度目のクアロアランチ。前回と違う体験をと今回はジップラインを選びました。ジップラインでも、スタート地点に向かう道中、広大なクアロアランチを見渡すことが出来、やっぱりクアロア最後〜！でした。ジップラインは7本も体験でき、爽快でした！スタッフの説明が英語のみのため、聞き取れない会話もありましたが、そこも笑いを誘うなど旅先の想い出の１つとなりました。やっぱりクアロアランチ、最高です！

I have seen Cirque du Soleil performances all over the world, but this one truly respected the local culture and elevated it to an art form, which was amazing. I was initially worried about the small size of the venue, but once the show started, I realized that the scale was actually perfect.

I now have more plays that I absolutely recommend to anyone going to Hawaii, and I will definitely go see this one again when I visit.

The entrance can be a bit tricky to find at first, but you go up the escalator located in the small rotary next to the hotel, and then turn right, and you will see the entrance right away. Show your ticket to the staff standing there, then go up the escalator again to reach the doors in front of the venue.

They sell popcorn and drinks that you can enjoy during the performance.

I definitely plan to go again.

これまで世界中のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユを見てきましたが、それらの中でもその土地の文化を尊重し、芸術として昇華させている感じが最高でした。会場規模が小さくて最初不安だったのですが、始まったらその規模が最高に良かったんだということを実感しました。

ハワイに行ったら必ず見に行くし、ハワイに行く人に絶対に勧める演劇というものが増えました。

入口は最初は少し分かりにくいのですが、ホテル脇の小さいロータリーにあるエスカレーターを上がって、右に曲がると直ぐにエントランスです。立っている係員にチケットを見せて、エスカレーターをさらに上がって会場前の扉まで行きましょう。

観劇中に食べることのできるポップコーンや飲み物はそこで売っています。

また必ず行こうと思います。

On the day of horseback riding, it was cloudy with light rain, but I was still overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. The smart horse walked on its own, so I just enjoyed the view while riding (laughs). The staff were also kind, reassuring me with directions like "right" and "left," which made the experience enjoyable and stress-free!

乗馬当日は曇り〜小雨でしたが、それでも壮大な景色に圧倒されました◎
賢いお馬さんが勝手に歩いてくれたので私はただ乗って景色を楽しむだけでした（笑）スタッフの方も優しく「右〜」「左〜」と声をかけてくれるので安心して楽しめました！

This tour is long but well worth it. We were picked up at the Starbucks, Queen’s Shopping Center, Waikoloa Beach Resort. We drove to the Mauna Kea Visitor’s Center where we had a very nice dinner. Next we went to the summit to view the telescopes and sunset from almost 14,000 feet. We the viewed the night sky through telescopes in almost complete darkness. Our driver and guide, Arthur, was fantastic. What a great experience!

Our Pearl Harbor and Ford Island tour was an unforgettable and meaningful experience. The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply moving, offering a powerful reminder of the events of December 7, 1941, and the lives lost that day. Touring the Battleship Missouri was equally inspiring—standing on the very deck where World War II ended felt humbling and historic. Our tour guide, Ernest, was an interesting and engaging addition who shared fascinating stories and insights that brought history to life. Lunch at the Ford Island Aviation Museum was good and provided a nice break in the day. We also appreciated the smooth, on-time flights between Kona and Honolulu with Southwest Airlines—comfortable and well-handled from start to finish. The round-trip bus transportation to and from the airport was convenient, well-organized, and stress-free. Overall, this was a well-planned, educational, and memorable day we’ll long remember.

Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!

The pickup and reservation process was very helpful. Since there was plenty of time until the meeting point for the descent, I was able to climb Diamond Head at my own pace and take lots of photos. On the way back, the route was to the hotel, but when I mentioned that I wanted to go to the KCC Market instead of the hotel, they kindly took me to the KCC Market and dropped me off there. The driver was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable time.

お迎えや予約の手続きも助かりました。
下山の集合までたっぷり時間があったのでダイアモンドヘッドに自分のペースで登ることもでき、たくさん写真も撮ることができました。帰りはホテルまでのコースでしたが、ホテルではなくKCCマーケットへ行きたいと伝えたら、快くKCCマーケットまで送ってくれてそこで下車しました。
ドライバーさんも明るくてとても楽しい時間でした。

I strongly suggest this tour on your disembarking day on Pride of America. Our flight not until 10:00 pm so we wanted something to do during the day and this was perfect. We got to spend three hours at Pearl Harbor then had a tour of the city. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. He then dropped us off at the airport with plenty of time before our flight. It was a perfect last day tour!!

Exploring the magnificent nature on a buggy was an absolute blast! You can truly feel the great outdoors. The staff were all so much fun! My whole family was thrilled—it's priceless and highly recommended!!

壮大な自然の中をバギーに乗って探検!めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！大自然を体で感じられます。スタッフの皆さんも楽しい方ばかり!家族みんな大興奮〜プライスレスおすすめです‼︎

I watched from a center seat. The aisle side might be more enjoyable since the performers come over there. It's in English, but I can understand the content as well. The acrobatic performances are impressive and wonderful.

センター席で鑑賞。通路側は、キャスターが横に来てくれるので、もっと楽しめるかも。
英語ですが、内容も理解できます。アクロバット演技は見応えありですばらしいです。

Although it was just a shuttle service, I really appreciated the effort to help us get in early to Hanauma Bay, which requires a specified entry time.

送迎だけですが、入場時間の指定が必要なハナウマベイへ早く入れるためにがんばってもらえて、とても助かりました。

I always wanted to experience sunset sailing! The view of Diamond Head and Honolulu from the water is completely different from what you see from the beach! The sea breeze and music really lifted my spirits. Since it was the last night of my trip, it was a memorable experience that I will cherish along with the fun memories.

一度は体験したかったサンセットセーリング！砂浜から見る景色とは違うダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルを一望！海風や音楽がテンションを上げてくれます。旅行最終日の夜だったので楽しかった思い出と共に記憶に残る体験でした。

My first parasailing experience!! The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from up high was so beautiful! The staff at the shop were kind and fun, making it an enjoyable experience.

初めてのパラセーリング！！高いところから見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチとても綺麗でした！
お店の人も親切で面白く楽しめました。

On this day, the water level was deep, and when I got off the boat, the water was up to my chest. I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined a white sandy beach. However, I switched gears and decided to try banana boating for the first time in my 60s! I screamed with excitement after a long time, and it was so much fun. They also took me to a spot where there were turtles. Next time, I want to go when the sandy beach is visible.

この日の水位は深く、船から降りると胸まで水がありました。
白い砂浜を想像していたので、ちょっとガッカリでした。
気持ちを切り替えて、60代で初のバナナボートに挑戦！
久しぶりにキャーキャー叫んで、とても楽しかったです。
亀のいるポイントにも連れて行ってくれました。
次は砂浜の出る時に行きたいです。

The view from the second row was incredibly powerful. I was captivated by the performers' expressions. The staging was directed like a 3D movie, and I felt satisfied no matter where I looked. It felt like a fusion of musical and circus, with music and dance that evoked the spirit of Hawaii, stirring my emotions to the point of tears. I hope entertainment in Hawaii becomes more vibrant. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see 'Auwana' again; I definitely want to watch it once more!

前から2列目で迫力が凄かったです。演者さんの表情にも見とれてしまいました。舞台から3D映画のように演出されていてどこから見ても満足だと思いました。ミュージカルとサーカスが融合している感じでハワイを感じる音楽や踊りで感情が高ぶり涙が出ました。ハワイのエンタメが盛んになって欲しいです。又絶対観たいと思うアウアナに感謝！

At first, I was worried because there was no pick-up for over 10 minutes. However, once I boarded safely, it was about a one-hour journey to the North.

最初１０分以上迎えがないため心配になりました。しかし無事に乗り込むとノースまで約１時間程度の旅でした。

I conveniently used it to go to various delicious places from Waikiki, such as Monsarrat Avenue, Kaimuki, and KCC, and to watch the sunset. I would like to use it again next time. 😊

ワイキキから色々美味しいものを食べに行ったりでモンサラット通りやカイムキ、KCCに行ったり、サンセットを見に行ったりと便利に利用させて頂きました。次回も利用したいと思います😊

This was the perfect fit for us and our 3 year old. The boat is kid friendly and the fern grotto is easily accessible with a short walk on a paved path. Great opportunity to see something up river for those with small children or any mobility limitations.

It was wonderful to be able to see beautiful scenery, mountains, and the sea while riding a horse. I have experienced horseback riding a few times in the past, but I had never been able to ride for such a long time, nearly two hours. I was very satisfied with this one riding experience.

景色の良いところ、山や海を馬に乗りながら見ることができてとても良かったです。
過去何度か乗馬体験をしたことがあるのですが、２時間近くも長時間にわたり乗馬できることはなかったので、一回の乗馬でとても満足することができました。

I read the reviews and thought, "I want to see dolphins, but I'm worried about seasickness." However, I gathered my courage and signed up.

In conclusion, as long as I took motion sickness medication, I was fine. I went with my family, and other families were fine too. It seems that standing at the front of the boat and looking out into the distance helps prevent seasickness.

There were also Japanese staff members, which made me feel very secure participating in the activity.

Although it was written that we wouldn't be able to swim with the dolphins, on the day of the event, we were able to swim with them. I was surprised to see the dolphins swimming quite deep. Even while the boat was moving, the dolphins swam alongside us as if they were racing, creating the best memories.

口コミを見て「イルカが見たいけど、船酔いが心配だなぁ」と思っていました。
しかし、勇気を出して申し込みをしました。
結論、乗り物酔い防止の薬を飲んでいれば、大丈夫でした。
家族で行きましたが、他の家族も大丈夫でした。
船の先端に立って、遠くを眺めていると酔いにくいそうです。

日本人スタッフの方もおり、とても安心して参加することができました。

イルカと一緒に泳げないと書いてありましたが、当日は一緒に泳ぐことができました。
かなり深いところをイルカが泳いでいて、びっくり。
船を走らせている時も、イルカが船に競い合うように泳いでいて、最高の思い出になりました。

Our family of six had a great day on the paddle and hike to Secret Falls. Our guide was Harrison and he was amazing. Fun, helpful, and gave us all kinds of cool facts and stories about the flora and fauna and people of the area. He even got a bird to eat a worm out of my daughter’s hand! The falls were huge and beautiful. An absolutely great day!

Although somewhat costly, it was a very memorable experience. The ATV they use are very capable machines going through some rough at times terrain. Our guides were lovely and very knowledgeable. Very professional and safety first group. Good amount of time - 3 hours ride time.

The driver spoke English, so there was still a language barrier. Although there were no issues with getting on and off during the transfer, I couldn't get any water and ended up having to buy expensive water on-site. Diamond Head was wonderful.

運転手さんが英語なので、やはり言葉が通じない。送迎の乗り降りは、通じなくても、問題はなかったが、水がもらえず、現地で高い水を買うことになった。
ダイアモンドヘッドは、すばらしかった。

I think the seats were good even within the same category. At first, I tried to make a reservation through the website, but it didn't go well, so I felt more comfortable making the reservation in Japanese after all. I feel like we waited quite a bit before entering the venue.

座席は、同じカテゴリーの中でも良い席だったと思います。
最初ホームページの方から予約しようとしましたが、上手くいかず、やっぱり日本語で予約する方が安心できます☆
会場に入るまでに、けっこう待った気がします。

The "O" and "Ka" shows in Las Vegas are nostalgic. They were wonderful performances that captured the essence of Hawaii. Both children and adults can enjoy them.

ラスベガスのオーとカーが懐かしい。
ハワイらしさの中にも素晴らしい演出でした。
こどもも大人も楽しめます。

I experienced this with my mother, who is almost 60 years old! It was great to have the experience of flying in the sky. We were also able to see Diamond Head! The guide was funny, and we had a lot of fun, haha.

We chose the 1,000 feet option, but I wasn't scared at all due to the height. I was surprised by the swaying of the boat that led the parasailing.

We took an Uber taxi to the meeting place, which cost about $10. Since our session started at 8:00, we made sure to arrive by 7:30.

60歳手前の母と2人で体験しました！
空を飛ぶ経験ができてとても良かったです。ダイアモンドヘッドも見れました！
またガイドのお兄さんも面白く、とても楽しかったです笑
1000フィートにしましたが、高さによる怖さは全然なかったです。パラセーリングを率いる船の揺れが伝わるので、そこはびっくりしました。

集合場所まではUberタクシーを利用して約10ドルで行きました。
8:00からの回だったので、7:30に間に合うように行きました。

I almost drowned a little and got a cut, but the response from our guide, Izumi, was great. Thank you very much.

ちょっと溺れかけたのと、切り傷をしてしまい、ガイドさんのいづみさんの対応が、よかったです、
ありがとうございました。

I have gone on several excursions in my travel experiences. This excursion was extremely organized, the people were remarkably friendly and the amount of activities to keep you engaged were fantastic.
