All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it

I love using this cruise , I love how they take care of us . The captain told us about the island history, I love the stories he told us as we were getting closer to The Valley . I always get impressed by the beauty of the Napali coast . I have never been to such a beautiful view . I plan on going back to this island in the summer . The snorkeling was amazing!!! I got to swim next to turtle and fishes . The food was good , never disappoints to use this app this cruise . It’s perfect for families, small kids, groups or even solo trips

This was my fourth time with this cruise and it did not disappoint me at all . My first time was by myself but I had to bring my family so they could experience the breathing views of Napali coast . This time I brought my parents specially to celebrate my moms birthday. She was scare at first but as we started seeing the valleys and the blue water she enjoy to the point to even cry to see such a beautiful place . My dad was so exited he jump for a swim . I love the part when we got so close to the waterfall

I had never tried parasailing before, and I was a bit anxious, but once I experienced it, it was over in no time, leaving only the joy of a wonderful experience. The view from 150 meters above was fantastic, especially with the good weather. There seems to be a weight limit, but it was great that three adults could ride together. Thank you very much.

パラセーリングは一度もやったことが無くて、少し不安もありましたが、体験してみればあっという間に終わって、楽しさだけが残る素敵な経験をしました。１５０メートルの上空の見晴らしは、天気も良くて、最高の景色でした。体重制限もあるようですが、大人３人一緒に乗れて良かったです。ありがとうございました。

This was my nth time in Hawaii, and I participated as a monitor. The buffet mainly featured pork, and there weren't many seafood options like poke. There were English speakers participating as well, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the Japanese attendees were being prioritized less. The show featured live singing and live music! I was surprised by the chubby Michael, who sounded similar (laughs). Rather than traditional hula dancing and fire shows, it was more of a mix with rock, so it might not be suitable for those who want to enjoy something more authentic and relaxed.

ハワイ何度目かでモニター参加しました。
バイキングは豚肉中心で、ポキなどの魚介系はあまりありませんでした。
英語圏の方も参加していたのですが、どうしても日本人は後回しにされている感じが否めなかったです。
ショーは生歌で生演奏でした！
声は似てるけれど太ったマイケルには驚きました（笑）
本格的なフラダンスやファイアーショーというよりも、ロックと掛け合わせなので、本格的なものをゆったり楽しみたい人には向かないかもしれないです。

I had an amazing time! However, a couple of things to note: there is more dust than I expected, so it's a good idea to consider your clothing and bags. They will get dirty. It seems there are lockers available, so it might be wise to store anything that could get dirty.

Also, the buggies are designed for American specifications, so the accelerator is positioned quite far back, which can be tough for shorter people. My wife drove at first but stopped partway through. Additionally, the seatbelt is very stiff and makes it difficult to drive. I had to loosen it several times while driving.

If you keep these points in mind, it was truly enjoyable, and the views were fantastic.

最高に楽しかったです！
ちょっと注意点ですが、想像以上に砂埃があるので服装やバックは考えた方がいいです。汚れます。ロッカーもあるみたいなので汚れて困るものは預けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと、バギーははアメリカ仕様のためか、アクセルが奥にあって身長が低い人はかなり辛いと思います。私の妻は最初運転しましたが、途中からやめました。また、シートベルトはとても硬くて運転しにくいです。何度も緩めて運転しました。
この点を注意してもらえれば本当に楽しかったですし、最高の景色でした。

The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.

The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.

Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!

Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.

Yesterday I decided to just get away to Waikiki for some fun on the water and I had the pleasure of having 2 awesome experiences. Everyone was was very nice. Drinks were awesome and the crew was spectacular. I recommend as I will be sailing out with these awesome people again. Mahalo

I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.

このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。

On the day I participated, a Japanese guide was in charge. While driving, he provided explanations in both English and Japanese. There were eight participants, half of whom were Japanese. At the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset. It was almost windless, so it wasn't too cold, but according to the guide, it had been very cold the day before due to strong winds, so it seems to vary by day. The stargazing was limited because it was close to a full moon, resulting in fewer stars. However, everyone, including the guide, was surprised by a fireball that suddenly appeared. It was an experience that happens once in a lifetime. It was a great tour.

私の参加した日は、日本人のガイドさんが担当してくれた。運転しながら、英語、日本語、交互の説明、参加者８名、内、半分が日本人だった。山頂では美しい日の入りを見ることができた。ほぼ無風だったのでそれほど寒くはなかったがガイドさん曰く前日は風が強く大変寒かったそうで、日によってまちまちのようだ。星空観測は満月に近いこともあって、星の数は少なかった。しかし突然現れた火球にガイドさん含めて皆ビックリ。一生に一度あるか否かの経験をした。良いツアーだった。

We had a fantastic experience in the grand circle island tour. We got to see almost all the best attraction points in Oahu, with plenty of opportunities for food and souvenirs. The best part of the tour is probably that we get to really relax and pay full attention to the views, without having to worry about itineraries or directions. Coincidentally we did a self-drive over a very similar route last time we visited, and the experience is far better this time around with the tour. I think we also got very lucky with our driver and guide Kimo. He was both knowledgeable about everything in Hawaii, and great at storytelling along the way. He also dealt with a couple of unexpected issues caused by other traveler groups very fast and smoothly. Would recommend overall.

This was one of the best parts of our trip! Beautiful views, fun crew and good times. I highly recommend adding it to your vacation!

Driving a four-wheeler on the mountainous trails with elevation changes in the great outdoors, kicking up dust and splashing water, was an amazing experience! I didn't understand any English, but it was totally fine! I'm glad I took on the challenge.

大自然の中、、高低差の山道を四輪バギーで走行し、砂ぼこりと、水しぶきをあげながらの体験は、最高でしたー！！英語が全くわからなかったけど、全然大丈夫！チャレンジしてよかった

Smooth cruise. Saw spinner dolphins. Very nice beach close to port.

The ride on the catamaran at mild temperatures with nice people and free soft drinks was very romantic. The price-performance ratio is right.

However, a certain degree of mobility is required to get on and off the boat.

Unfortunately the music is too loud. You have to like that.

This definitely feels like a movie set, given its scale. However, when riding the buggy, make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or even throwing away! You'll get covered in a ton of dust and mud, so it's definitely better to change afterward! Honestly, I underestimated it. You’ll get covered in dust that is impossible to completely shake off! Once you accept that it's okay to get dirty, the best buggy experience begins!

こりゃぁ映画のロケ地になるわな、という規模感
ただし、バギーに乗る際は汚れても捨ててもいい服で！めちゃくちゃ砂埃と泥被るので着替えた方が絶対いいです！！正直なめてました。まず全て落とすことは不可能な砂埃をかぶります！
汚れてもいいやと開き直ったら、最高のバギー体験の幕開けです！！

When I arrived at the ferry boarding area, I thought, "Huh? It's just a regular sea," but as we went out to the open water on the ferry, it was truly a heavenly sea. It was shallow enough to stand even that far out, and the water was clear—such a new experience!

フェリー乗る場所に着いた時は、え？普通の海じゃんと思ったが、フェリーで沖まで行くとそこにはまさしく天国の海が。
あんな沖なのに立てるぐらいの浅さで水も透明、新体験でした！

Ruined by 3 drinking moms. There was an announcement to refrain from standing on the benches. 3 drinking moms stood as soon as the fireworks started and blocked our view. None of the crew reminded them to sit so others could enjoy the fireworks. The fireworks were not very high as they are for other shows I have been to. The captain could have turned the boat so they were not in the front towards the fireworks and give others a chance to see. The crew was nice, played music, and appeared to want everyone to have a good time.

The meeting place was close to the hotel, allowing us to use our time effectively. It was a wonderful experience to see the scenery of Waikiki from the sky.

集合場所がホテルから近く、時間を有効的に使えました。
空から見るワイキキの風景が見れて、素晴らしい体験ができました。

The view from 150 meters was a lifelong memory! The blue sky, beautiful ocean, city, and seeing Diamond Head from the air was a unique experience. The captain and staff provided excellent service and made it enjoyable. My elementary school daughter said it became her best memory of Hawaii.

高さ150メートルから見た風景は一生の記念になりました！青い空、キレイな海、街、ダイヤモンドヘッドを空から見ると一味違いました。
船長とスタッフさんもサービス満点で楽しませてくれました。
小学生の娘は、一番のハワイの思い出になったと言っていました。

There were several activity companies for the sandbar, so I carefully chose this one. The key points were the long duration of the stay and the appealing hamburger lunch on the boat. The weather was great, and my excitement was high from the start. The female guide was very experienced, and it was nice that the group was divided into Japanese and English speakers. She took a lot of photos, and since we could practice snorkeling at the sandbar, my friends who were trying it for the first time seemed to enjoy it without any confusion. Everything was perfect until the end, and I can only say that I was glad to participate.

This trip to Hawaii only had this water activity planned, so it became a wonderful memory.

サンドバーへのアクティビティの会社はいくつもあったのでかなり吟味してここに決めました。ポイントは滞在時間が長い事、船上でのハンバーガーランチが魅力的だった事です。お天気も良くて始まりからテンションが上がりました。ガイドの女性もとても慣れていらして日本語と英語でグループ分けされていたのも良かったです。写真も沢山撮ってくれてサンドバーでシュノーケルの練習が出来たので初めての友人もシュノーケリングに戸惑う事なくとても楽しめたようです。最後まで完璧で参加して良かったの言葉しか出ませんでした。
今回のハワイは海遊びをこれしか予定していなかったのでとても良い思い出になりました。

I went on the first day of my trip to Hawaii, and it was so much fun that I forgot about my jet lag! The buffet dinner had a bit of a wait, but I ate until I was full. The show was in English, but the atmosphere in the venue created a sense of unity, and I was thrilled. The singing was truly impressive and captivating! The fire dance was also an amazing performance.

ハワイ旅行初日に行きましたが、時差ボケを忘れる位の楽しさでした！
ビュッフェディナーは待ち時間がやや長かったものの、お腹いっぱい食べました。
ショーは英語でしたが、会場の雰囲気が一体感になり、興奮しました。歌がホントに上手で魅了されました！
ファイヤーダンスも圧巻のパフォーマンスでした。

Fully enjoyed the ranch tour. We did the Jurassic valley movie tour in open wi Dow bus. Our guide was fantastic, engaging with everyone and very informative. Helping out taking group photos for everyone that asked. We watched groups go by in the jeep tours which also looked like they would be a lot of fun.

On the first night in Hawaii, I participated in this luau and show. The buffet at the luau had such a large portion that I couldn't finish it, but it was delicious. Above all, I was able to see the ukulele performance and hula dancing up close, and I really immersed myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere! I felt it was a great experience for the first day. It was our honeymoon, and they played and sang a Hawaiian wedding song on the ukulele, which became a wonderful memory for us. That was probably the best part of participating this time! The show even featured Elvis and Michael Jackson. Although they are from a different generation, I still enjoyed it! And the fire dance was amazing. I would have loved to see a bit more fire in the performance! I think it's a show that people who enjoy musicals would really like!

ハワイ1日目の夜にこちらのルアウ＆ショーに参加。
ルアウのビュッフェは盛られる量が多くて食べきれませんでしたが、美味しかったです。
何よりウクレレでの演奏とフラダンスを間近で見れて、ハワイの雰囲気にどっぷり浸かれました！
1日目で良かったなぁと思います。
ハネムーンだったんですが、ハワイのウェディングソングをウクレレで弾き語りしてもらい、とても思い出になりました。
それが今回参加して1番良かったことかなぁ♪
ショーではエルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンまで登場。世代ではないですが、楽しめました！
そしてファイヤーダンス(？)が凄かった。もう少し火を使った芸の割合が多いと嬉しかった！ミュージカルが好きな人は楽しめるショーだと思います！

It wasn't too intense; we gradually ascended into the sky and enjoyed a leisurely activity. The boat swayed quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. They took photos for us, which were available for purchase. There wasn't any strong pressure to buy. I was relieved that our belongings were kept in a dry area on the boat. Overall, it was a fun activity!!

あまりハードな感じてはなく、緩やかに上空に上がっていき、のんびりと楽しむアクティビティでした。船は割りと揺れるので、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでくると良いかと思います。写真を撮っていただき、有料の販売でした。特に強く売り込まれることもありませんでした。心配していた荷物も船の濡れないところに置かせていただいて、安心でした。総じて楽しいアクティビやティでした！！

First, take the escalator to the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center B building, where you can receive a sticker as your participation badge at the reception, and then head to the buffet venue.

When we participated, the seating style had Japanese guests at the same table. It provided a natural opportunity to chat with those seated with us, which may have been a consideration to help everyone relax and enjoy their meal. While enjoying a menu that reflects Hawaii (personally, I found the desserts especially delicious!), there were also hula dance performances and songs presented up close, and those interested could take hula dance lessons.

The main "Rock-a-Hula" show was incredibly powerful, featuring impressive performances by "Elvis" and "Michael," along with thrilling fire dances. The dancers' movements were sharp, and I had a great time.

I initially thought about skipping the final photo session, but in the end, I ended up taking pictures with my favorite "Michael" and the dancers.

まずはロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターB館のエスカレーターで4Fへ行き、受付で参加証代わりのシールを受け取り、ビュッフェ会場へ。

私たちが参加した時は、日本人同士が同じテーブルにつくスタイルでした。
同席した方たちと自然とお話しする機会もあり、なるべくリラックスして食事を楽しめるようにとの配慮だったのかもしれません。間近でフラダンスや歌が披露される中、ハワイらしいメニュー（個人的には特にデザートがおいしかった！）も楽しめ、希望者はフラダンス・レッスンも受けられます。

そしてメインの「ロック・ア・フラ」ショーは迫力満点で、「エルビス」さんや「マイケル」さんの渾身のパフォーマンスや、ドキドキのファイアーダンスもお薦めですが、ダンサーたちの踊りもキレキレで、とても楽しみました。

最後の写真撮影はパスしようと思っていたのですが、結局、お気に入りの「マイケル」さんやダンサーさんと一緒に撮ってもらっちゃいました。

The entire experience start to finish was amazing. Wes was our guide and driver and took the time to explain what to expect and educate all of us on the island and the history of Hawai’i! I would recommend this tour to anybody who would like to enjoy the beautiful Mauna Kea! Wes also took the time to take photos of us at sunset and stargazing!

Very beautiful! Drinks were good and we enjoyed the crew

The buffet, especially the roast beef, was incredibly delicious! You can enjoy your meal while drinking a Mai Tai and watching hula dancing and ukulele performances up close. (For those who don't drink alcohol, non-alcoholic options are available.)

After that, we moved to the concert hall to watch the show. It was packed with content, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. The fire dance at the end was truly impressive. I was very satisfied that we could take photos together at the end. This event is full of activities, and I think especially those visiting Hawaii for the first time will enjoy it even more.

ビュッフェは特にローストビーフが最高に美味しかったです！マイタイを飲みながらフラダンスやウクレレ演奏を間近に観ながら食事ができます。(お酒が飲めない方はノンアルコールもOK)
その後はコンサートホールへ移動し、ショーを見ます。盛り沢山の内容でハワイ感を存分に味わえました。終盤のファイヤーダンスは迫力満点。最後に写真も一緒に撮ることができ大満足でした。このイベントは盛り沢山で特にハワイに初めていらっしゃった方はより楽しめると思います。

The highlight of this trip was the snorkeling tour at Heaven's Sea, and we were fortunate with the weather, making it a lot of fun. Although there was only one stand-up paddleboard for the group, everyone took turns and enjoyed it thoroughly. The snorkeling was amazing; we could see turtles clearly and even swim alongside them, which was thrilling. The guide was also entertaining, making this tour highly recommended.

今回の旅行の1番の楽しみの天国の海シュノーケリングツアー、天候にも恵まれとても楽しかったです。サップは、グループにひとつということでしたが、参加者の皆さんで順番に使い満喫できました。シュノーケリングは、亀もバッチリ見え一緒に泳ぐことができ感激でした。ガイドさんも面白くおすすめのツアーです。
