All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We had a wonderful family trip! The experience was smooth and enjoyable, and the crews were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing and fun getaway!

I used a good seat in the center, but the venue was compact, so it felt like you could see well from any seat! The show itself was enjoyable and satisfying. However, the air conditioning in the venue was quite strong. I was wearing a windbreaker, but since I had on shorts, it was too cold, and I started to feel the urge to go to the restroom, which made it hard to concentrate as the show went on. 😫

In conclusion, it's best to bring long sleeves, long pants, a windbreaker, and a scarf!

席は中央の良い席を利用しましたが、
会場はコンパクトでどの席でもよく見れる感じでした！
ショー自体は楽しく満足いく内容です♪
会場はかなり空調がキツく、ウィンドブレーカーは着ていましたが半パンだったので
寒過ぎてトイレに行きたくなり、途中から集中力が切れがちになりました😫

結果
長袖、ロングパンツ、ウィンドブレーカー、ストール
など持参すればOK！

My high school daughter participated in a group lesson by herself. She was assigned to a group of three with one instructor who kindly taught even beginners, and she was able to ride some big waves! She came back very satisfied. She also saw a sea turtle. It was her first trip to Hawaii, and it was a very valuable experience. Thank you very much.

高校生の娘がひとりでグループレッスンに参加しました。3人グループに1人のインストラクターが付いて初心者にも優しく教えてくださり、大きめの波にも乗れた！と大満足で帰ってきました。ウミガメも見れたそうです。初めてのハワイ旅行でとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。

All the tour guides were so personable and helpful. The view was stunning. If you are visiting Oahu, this tour is a must...The buffet was so tasty and healthy

During my stay on Oahu, I took a two-day, one-night trip to the Big Island and participated in this tour! I was impressed by the bilingual guide, Sho-yo, and I had a valuable experience learning about Hawaii's history and culture in such a short time. I was worried about the weather throughout, but I was able to enjoy the world's most beautiful sunset, and the explanation of the starry sky was wonderful! Thank you for making my year-end vacation so special!

オアフ島に滞在しながら、一泊二日で
ハワイ島に出かけ、こちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！
翔洋さんのバイリンガルガイドにも感心しましたが、短い時間に貴重な体験とハワイの歴史と文化を感じ、たいへん勉強になりました！
終始お天気が心配でしたが、世界一の夕日も堪能させていただき、星空の説明も素敵でした！
とても素晴らしい年末休暇を彩っていただき
ありがとうございました！

When I climbed the mountain, I emerged from the clouds that enveloped the lower world, and it was truly mystical. The observatory, the sunset, and the starry sky made for a very fulfilling tour.

The various stories shared by our guide, James, were enjoyable and very educational! Thank you so much.

山を登っていったとき、下界が雲に包まれているうえに出て、なんとも神秘的でした。天文台、日没、そして星空ととても充実したツアーでした。

ガイドのジェームズさんによる様々なお話が楽しくとても勉強になりました！本当にありがとうございました。

I was able to experience both the sea and the mountains in a compact way. The two guides were kind, and I was able to ask various questions since they were Japanese. It was meaningful to enjoy so much in just the morning.

海む山もコンパクトに体験できました。ガイドのお二人も親切ですし日本の方で色々質問できました。午前のみでここまで堪能でき有意義でした。

The hosts were knowledgeable, accommodating, and so kind. We loved the stress free experience.

We had a great time with Kimo. He made us feel at ease. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to answer our questions and did not make us feel dumb. He also seemed to genuinely enjoy our party’s craziness.

I tried parasailing at 150 meters. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, but it was fun. I was also able to purchase photos taken while I was flying.

パラセーリング150mに挑戦しました。あいにく天気は悪かったけど、楽しかったです。
飛んでるさな中の写真も購入することもできました

I participated in early December, and unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly and rainy, but I still had a great time. There were beautiful coral reefs nearby, and fish were swimming right in front of me. Just peeking into the water was captivating, and while enjoying other activities, time flew by quickly. During the round trip to the sandbar, there was also a performance by the crew, and the captain and crew's stories were entertaining as well.

参加日は12月初旬あいにく肌寒く、雨も降るイマイチな天候でしたがそれでも存分に楽しめました。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が近くにあり、目の前を魚が回遊しています。海中を覗くだけで夢中になれますし、他のアクティビティも堪能していると、あっという間に時間がなくなります。
サンドバーまでの往復中も、クルーの演奏もあり、また船長やクルーたちのお話も面白かったです。

I had signed up for a clear kayak and snorkeling experience, but due to the possibility of rain, I was given the option to cancel at the last minute or switch to a regular kayak. Since I had already arranged a rental car from Waikiki to Haleiwa and everything was planned, I couldn't cancel. As a result, I ended up with just the regular kayak for two hours, which was quite boring. In the end, the weather improved on the day, and it didn't rain, plus the waves weren't high, but I still couldn't do the clear kayak and snorkeling.

Additionally, I received a text the day before asking me to look for a white truck, and since the company operated with just one truck, there was no office building at the meeting point. The way it was described during the booking made it seem like there would be a building, which caused quite a bit of confusion. I was told that if I came in the summer, I could do the clear kayak and snorkeling, but I wanted to combine it with the Honolulu Marathon, so I came in the winter. If it says that clear kayaking and snorkeling are available, I really hoped they would do their best to provide those activities.

申し込んだクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ず、雨が降るかもということで直前にキャンセルするかレギュラーカヤックにするかの選択肢を出され、ワイキキからハレイワへのレンタルカーも用意してすべて計画済の後だったのでキャンセルするわけにもいかず、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングの料金でレギュラーカヤックだけとなりそれが2時間で退屈なものとなった。結局当日天気は持ち直し雨も降らず波も高くなかったがクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングはしてもらえなかった。また前日にショートメールが来て白いトラックを探してくれということで、トラック1台で運用してる会社だったので、集合場所に事務所的な建物はなく、申込時は建物があるような書き方だったので、かなり混乱すると思います。夏に来ればクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来るのにと言われたが、ホノルルマラソンと合わせたかったので冬に来たが、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ると書くのであれば、極力クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングを実施してほしかった。

I had a great time horseback riding at the filming location of Jurassic Park. After two hours of riding, I felt a bit of muscle soreness between my legs, but I recovered within half a day. It's also possible to take photos with your smartphone while riding.

ジュラシックパークの撮影現場を乗馬をしながら、とても楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。2時間乗馬をすると、股の間が少し筋肉痛になりましたが、半日で回復いたしました。乗馬をしながらのスマホでの写真撮影も可能です。

I have seen Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, Macau, and Tokyo, but the venue here was smaller, allowing us to see everything up close and experience the intensity. The quality of the performers was also high, and everyone, including us, was moved. I highly recommend it!

ラスベガス、マカオ、東京などでもシルクドソレイユを見ましたが、会場が狭かったので目前に見れ迫力があり、また演技者の質も高く私たちを含め皆感動していました。是非お勧めです。

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and while paragliding, we had an amazing view of Waikiki and Diamond Head right beneath us. The operator was a veteran who skillfully maneuvered the motorboat by reading the wind, allowing us to dip our feet into the ocean and enjoy the experience. A couple in their 70s.

晴天に恵まれ、パラセイリング中はワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも足元に見え最高な気分になりました。操作員もベテランで、風を読みモーターボートを操り、足だけを海に浸けたりし、楽しませてくれました。７０代夫婦

Last time it was 120 meters, but this time we did it at 150 meters. A difference of 30 meters is quite significant. Next time, we'll also go for 150 meters. Fortunately, on the way out to sea, we were able to do some whale watching.

前回は高さ120ｍでしたが今回は150ｍでやりました。30m違いは結構あります。次回も150mにします。ラッキーのことに沖合に出る途中ホエールウォッチング出来ました。

We had an incredible experience. It was early in the season so we didn’t think we were going to see anything. The crew told us to hurry and board as some other boats had said they saw some whales out there. We had been out for maybe 20 minutes and we saw a couple of spouts in the distance between two boats. We were all looking way out at those spouts when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a male humpback jumped straight up out of the water and breached about 15 yards in front of our boat!!! No one got a picture because we weren’t expecting it and we all just watched it unbelievably in that moment! It doesn’t get any better than that! The captains were so helpful and knowledgeable!

In the past, Hanauma Bay was crowded and seemed to be getting dirtier year by year. However, with the implementation of entry restrictions and the fact that very few people visited during COVID, I felt that the beautiful Hanauma Bay has returned. After the Honolulu Marathon, the weather was unpredictable with a lot of rain, so when I made my reservation, I kept an eye on the weather forecast and chose a day with a low chance of precipitation. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I encountered a heavy downpour like a tropical rain shower.

After that, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, and very rarely did the sun peek through, but I was still able to go snorkeling, which turned out to be a memorable experience. I hope to make a comeback on a sunny day next year.

昔は人も多く海も年々汚れてきた印象のハナウマベイでしたが、入場制限を行い、またコロナで人が全然入らなかった事も幸いして、綺麗なハナウマベイが帰ってきたと感じました。ホノルルマラソンが終わった後はお天気が不順で雨も多かったので、予約を取る時に天気予報とにらめっこして、降水確率の低い日を選んだのですが、残念ながら到着した時にスコールの様な豪雨にあいました。
その後は曇り時々雨、ごく稀に薄陽がさすお天気でしたか、シュノーケリングも出来てなかなか無い思い出になりました。
来年、晴れの日にリベンジしたいと思います。

Although my stay was short, the Japanese guide provided a thorough tour without wasting any time. It was very helpful and enjoyable. Without the guide, I probably would have wandered around the vast grounds without understanding anything. The buffet had an incredible variety and the food was very delicious. The main show featured more intense dance performances, resembling a musical rather than relaxed dancing, which was unexpected but fantastic. The location is far from Waikiki, but it was definitely worth the trip!

短時間での滞在でしたが、日本人のガイドさんが無駄な時間を作らないようにきっちりガイドしてくださいました。とても助かりましたし楽しかったです。たぶんガイドがなかったら広い敷地内をぼーっとして何もわからず終わってました。バイキングはものすごい種類豊富で味もとても美味しかったです。メインのショーはゆるりとしたダンスというよりはミュージカルのような激しめのダンスが多く予想外でしたが素晴らしかったです。場所はワイキキから遠いけど行く価値はありました！

Allot of fun!! Wonderful opportunity.

Thank you!!

Snorkeling among tropical fish and exploring sea caves was a highlight of our whole trip!

After the snorkel, the crew offered hot cocoa and snacks, which was a nice way to warm up and reflect on the experience during the ride back under the stars

The views of the Na Pali Coast cliffs, waterfalls, and valleys were breathtaking and unlike anything else.

We really enjoyed the lunch stop on this tour, with delicious pizza and salad at Hana Farms.

A great choice for an authentic Hawaiian luau—highly recommend.

Snorkeling and exploring sea caves were the highlights of this amazing experience!

The tour was super well organized, with a guide who shared interesting insights along the way!

Swimming under waterfalls, exploring the black sand beach, and enjoying stunning coastal, what a day!

The tour explored remote beaches, rugged coastlines, and scenic viewpoints with plenty of photo stops.

This is a great option for anyone looking for a convenient way to explore Manoa Falls without the hassle of driving.
