All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

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.

Staff, dancers, food and everyone involved was amazing!

First, regarding the dinner buffet, the dining area is on the open terrace where the night breeze is pleasant. When you sit at the table, fresh dendrobium orchids are provided for hair accessories, and while enjoying a Hawaiian drink, you feel happy. You can enjoy various dishes, starting with traditional Hawaiian cuisine. While dining, hula dancers occasionally perform right near your table, adding to the fun! Of course, there are plenty of desserts like fruits, cakes, and ice cream, leaving you completely satisfied!

Next, we moved to the theater to watch the Rock-a-Hula show. The stage and seats are very close, and with live band performances, the lighting and visual effects enhance the hula dance, Elvis, and Michael Jackson performances, as well as songs by Hawaiian singers, all of which are incredibly powerful! At the end, we were able to take photos with the performers, and everyone was very courteous, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

まずはディナービュッフェについて、食べるところはオープンテラスで夜風が心地よく、テーブルにつくと、髪飾り用に生のデンファレの花が用意されておりハワイの飲み物を飲みながら気分はハッピー
食事もハワイの伝統料理をはじめ色々な料理を食べることができます食事をしているとフラダンサーの方が席の間近でダンスを時折披露してくださり楽しめます‼︎もちろんフルーツやケーキ、アイスなどデザートもたっぷりでお腹いっぱいになり大満足でした‼︎
つづいてロックアフラのショーを見る為にシアターに移動、こちらも舞台と席がとても近く、生バンドによる演奏、光や映像の演出が相まってフラダンスやエルビス、マイケルジャクソンのパフォーマンス、またハワイの歌手の方の歌が迫力満点です‼︎
最後には、出演者の方と写真撮影ができ、どの方のとても丁寧に対応してくださり最高の思い出となりました✨

I participated in a tour in late October, and it exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend it for those who want to recharge with the energy of nature. Thanks to the tour guide who spoke in both English and Japanese, I was able to enjoy the experience! They share information about the plants, which adds to the excitement! If it's your first time visiting Manoa Falls, definitely consider joining this tour.

As for clothing, I recommend wearing long pants since there are mosquitoes. If you don't have insect repellent spray, the guide will lend you some. I initially wore a lightweight UV parka over my T-shirt, but I started to sweat a bit, so I took it off midway. The ground was a bit muddy from the rain the day before, but my sneakers only got a little dirty. At the end, you can rinse your shoes off with a hose (your socks will get wet, though). Bottled water is provided during lunch. You'll sweat while walking and get thirsty, so don't forget to bring your own water!

After being thoroughly satisfied at Manoa Falls, we headed to Tantalus Lookout. I've participated in night view tours several times, but this was my first time at Tantalus during the day! The view was fantastic! I chose the pastrami sandwich for lunch, and it was a great choice! It was lucky to enjoy a sandwich from a popular local shop without having to wait in line! It was so delicious! Definitely check out Manoa Falls. I highly recommend this tour!

10月下旬にツアーに参加し、期待以上に大満足でした！！大自然のエネルギーをたっぷりチャージしたい方におすすめです。
英語と日本語を交互にお話ししてくださるツアーガイドさんのおかげで、楽しく参加できました！
植物のことなど教えてくださいますので、ワクワク感が増します！はじめてマノアの滝に行かれる方は、ぜひこのツアーに参加してみてください。

服装ですが、蚊が飛んでますので長ズボンがおすすめです。虫除けスプレーは持ってなければガイドさんが貸してくださいます。
最初はTシャツのうえに薄手のUVパーカーを羽織っていましたが、じんわりと汗をかいたので途中でパーカーは脱ぎました。
前日の雨で、足元は多少ぬかるんでましたがスニーカーに泥がついた程度。最後にホースの水でザッと靴を洗い流せます(靴下まで濡れますが)
ペットボトルのお水は、ランチのときに配られます。歩きながら汗をかいて喉が乾くので、お水の持参を忘れずに！
マノアの滝で大満足したあとは、タンタラスの丘へ。夜景ツアーは何度か参加したことがありますが、昼間のタンタラスの丘ははじめて！とても良い眺めで最高！
ランチのサンドイッチはパストラミを選んで大正解！地元で人気のお店のサンドイッチを並ばずに食べられるなんてラッキー！とーっても美味しかったです！
マノアの滝、ぜひ行ってみてください。こちらのツアーおすすめですよー！

The meal is a buffet, but please note that the start time is late, and there is limited time to eat. Basically, you can only go up to get food once.

During the meal, there is a small dance show, so you can really enjoy it. Additionally, a ukulele player goes around performing for each group.

Up to this point, video recording is allowed. The main show moves to the hall. Once it starts, taking photos is fine, but video recording is not allowed. There are shows not only featuring hula but also Elvis and Michael, and the atmosphere and excitement were fantastic!

All explanations are in English, so knowing English might enhance your experience. After the show, the performers greet guests outside, so you can shake hands and take photos together.

It’s guaranteed to be a wonderful night!

食事はバイキングですが、食事の始まりが遅く、食べる時間が少ないので注意してください。基本的に取りに行けるのは一回のみです。
食事中にも小さなダンスショーがあるのでしっかり楽しめます。また、ウクレレ奏者の方がひとグループごとに演奏して回っていました。
ここまでは動画撮影OKです。
本番のショーはホールへ移動します。始まりましたら写真撮影は大丈夫ですが、動画撮影はNGです。フラだけでなく、エルビスやマイケルのショーもあり、雰囲気や盛り上がりが最高でした！
説明等は全て英語なので、英語ができた方がもっと楽しめるかもしれません。
終わった後は出演者が外で見送りをしているので、握手したり一緒に写真を撮ることも可能です。
最高の夜になること間違いなしです。

I experienced the buffet dinner and evening show with the "Bronze Seat."
The buffet was very delicious, with a wide variety of fresh dishes that suited the Japanese palate. (The food had no greasy feeling at all, so I enjoyed it very much.)
The evening show was an incredibly powerful and immersive experience, almost like "The Lion King" by the Shiki Theatre Company. In my case, I had a "ringside" seat, so I was able to enjoy it to the fullest.

ビュッフェdinner＆イブニングショー「ブロンズ席」
を体験しました。
ビュッフェはとても美味しく、種類も豊富、新鮮で、日本人の味覚に合っていました．(ベタベタ感の全くない料理でしたのでとてもおいしくいただきました。)
イブニングショーは「劇団四季のライオンキング？」かなーと思われるぐらい迫力のある臨場感極まるショーでした。その上私の場合は、相撲で言う「砂被り」の席でしたので、迫力満点で楽しめました。

It was an English tour, but it was not difficult, and I was able to participate happily. The time flew by in the air! Since you can enjoy Hawaiian activities in a short time, I recommend it for those who are short on time.

英語ツアーでしたが、難しいことはなく楽しく参加できました。上空ではあっという間の時間でした！
短時間でハワイらしいアクティビティができるので、時間のない方もおすすめです。

This was on my bucket list. My guide was very informative. He took pictures, individual and group pictures of us during sunset and during the stargazing event. Be prepared to bounce around on the dirt road to the summit. Totally enjoyed the hot cocoa and BLT sandwich that was provided.

This was a very unique and amazing experience, definitely a must go if you're in Hawaii. Looking forward to going back again next month because it was that great of a tour!

This tour is very fun. Must have experience the tour moves very fast though the trials. I did this tip it last year had a different guide. Our tour guide was good. Wish he could have been more informative and more helpful with taking photos. I would recommend this tour for people that want a good workout. Not for seeing the sites.

It was different from the snorkeling I had imagined; we swam continuously for about 60 minutes. They guided us to good spots, and we were able to take underwater photos. Since it's a tour where you need both hands free at all times, it's better to avoid taking your smartphone. You shouldn't bring it. We even saw a sea turtle along the way, which was beyond my expectations.

I felt that the maximum of 5 people in a small group was in reference to the number of participants per instructor, but I don't think there were any issues with that.

想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。

最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。
