All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I went on my honeymoon.
There were many people from overseas around, and I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but there was a friendly Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience.
While the tour explanations were in English, the Japanese guide provided clear explanations separately.
When we arrived at the sandbar, I was surprised by how beautiful the sea was, even more than I had imagined. It was my first time snorkeling, and the water's clarity was amazing, allowing us to see the fish and coral reefs clearly, which was a lot of fun!
The hamburgers we ate on the boat were exceptional!
When boarding the boat, we secured our luggage and seating, but it felt nice to place our things outside during the ride with the refreshing wind. The restroom is inside the boat, so it's not very clean, but it can't be helped.
Of course, you'll get sunburned, so it's best to take proper precautions.
It became a wonderful memory of my trip, and I would love to go again if I visit Hawaii!

ハネムーンで行きました。
周りは、海外の方が多く、英語もできないので不安もありましたが、日本人の気さくなガイドさんがいて、安心して楽しめました。
英語でツアーの説明がある中、別で日本人のガイドさんが分かりやすく説明してくださいました。
サンドバーに着くと、想像していたより海がとても綺麗で驚きました。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、海の透明度がすごいので魚やサンゴ礁がはっきりと見えて楽しかったです！
船の上で食べるハンバーガーも格別でした！
船に乗ると自分たちが荷物を置く場所や座る場所を確保するのですが、船の中ではなく、外に置くと移動中風が気持ち良いです。トイレは船の中なので、綺麗とは言えませんが、仕方ないですね
日焼けももちろんするので、しっかり対策した方がいいです。
旅行中の素敵な思い出になりました、またハワイに行ったら行きたいと思います！

Traveling abroad can be quite nerve-wracking and stressful, even if it's to Hawaii, but my heart and time melt away with the Mai Tai, the blue ocean, and the sunset.

This is my second time on this tour, and I'm sure I'll take it again on my next visit.

海外旅行はたとえハワイでもけっこう緊張したりストレスが溜まりますが、マイタイと青い海とサンセットに心も時間もとろけていきます。

このツアーはこれで２度目ですが、次回もきっと最終日に乗るでしょうね。

We participated as a family of five. We had a packed two hours and it was so much fun. All the lockers for our bags were in use, which was a bit of a hassle, but they were able to hold our things at the ticket center. Plus, it was free, which was actually a lucky break.

家族五人で参加しました。みっちり２時間、めっちゃ楽しかったです。荷物のロッカーが全部使用されており、困りましたが、チケットセンターで預かっていただけました。しかも無料でした、むしろラッキーでした。

Hands down would do again! The luau was amazing, and everyone was so kind and worked so hard to put on an amazing show. We also got to swim in the falls which was amazing. Definitely recommend! If you're reading this, just book it. You won't regret it. It was also kid friendly. I took my 1 year old and everyone loved
him and took extra effort to involve him in the cultural activities.

It was good, but I wouldn’t go again. I thought we signed up for a luao, a nice dinner, and a bigger boat that wouldn’t roll as much. This had a small take out dinner, dance music that felt like we were at the bar and the workers pushed for you to drink alcohol. In other words, this trip wasn’t attended to go as a family trip.

Besides the expectations going in - it was good, just wouldn’t go again. That’s not our scene.

I couldn't book the same tour I wanted, so I chose this one with an English guide as a second option. My elementary school daughter also enjoyed it without much issue. For stargazing, I always book two sessions during the trip considering weather conditions, and since I had a Japanese explanation the day before, we were able to enjoy the stars. However, compared to a full-fledged stargazing tour, this part felt more like a bonus, with less explanation and no use of a telescope. There were new discoveries as well, as the places I visited for the first time and the Kīlauea crater had changed significantly due to the eruptions.

行きたかった同じようなツアーの予約が取れず、次善の策として英語ガイドでしたが選びました。小学生の娘もさほど問題なく楽しめました。星空観察は天候の問題などを考慮して旅行中いつも2回予約するのですが、前日に一度日本語の解説をしてもらっていたので、星空も楽しめました。ただ、本格的な星空観察ツアーに比べるとその部分は「おまけ」みたいな感じで説明も少なく、天体望遠鏡を使用することもありませんでした。初めて訪れた場所や、キラウエアの火口も噴火により依然とだいぶ変わっていたり、新しい発見がありました。

The food was delicious, and above all, the show was wonderful! It was fun, like experiencing the history of Hawaii. Elvis looked just like him.

食事も美味しかったし、何よりショーが素敵でした！ハワイの歴史みたいな感じで楽しかったです。
エルビスはそっくりでした

This is my seventh time using it.
Once again, it was amazing.
The sunset was as beautiful as ever.
The streets of Waikiki.
Diamond Head.
Everything was fantastic.

The vibe was great as always, haha.

I will use it again.

7回目の利用です。
やっぱり今回も最高でした。
相変わらずの夕日。
ワイキキの街並み。
ダイヤモンドヘッド。
どれも最高でした。

相変わらずのノリも最高w

また利用します。

This is something that is different and fun! Very relaxing. Jules was a great guide.

Great evening. Food was excellent and entertainment was even better. Loved the evening with my wife and friends! Venue was perfect with the scenic views.

Incredible tour but our Tour guide, Anson really brought the island and the tour to life. Honestly enjoyed the tour to the max but we would pay to just hang out with Anson again. Lol. I'm sure all the guides are great and extremely courteous.

All the jokes we made he would rebuttal and be involved all while still maintaining his poise and professionalism. It's the little things guys and this tour has it all. Thank you From the bottom of our hearts.

This was the highlight of our island hopping experience!.. family of 6.. ages 9, 12, 17 and 21 and they all said this was the best part of our travel time in Oahu and the big island!.. looking forward to doing it again on our next visit!!! Directions were clear to meet at harbor, check in with ease and lunch was delicious!. Crew is so helpful and fun. Will recommend to anyone who visits.. family and friends including those fb groups for tips on travel here..

Our guide Mason was fantastic! Great ukulele! Interesting history of the Hawaiian Islands and how they became port or the US. Scenery was great. Tunnels were fun!

Exceeded our expectations! The tours and guides are excellent. Buffet lunch was good.

This is my second experience. Last time, we had a fairly large group for an hour, but this time we challenged ourselves with a smaller group (6 people) for two hours. It was an experience with wonderful views of the sea and mountains. My wife, who experienced it for the first time, was very impressed, and we would like to try it again if we have the opportunity next time.

今回で2回目の体験になります。
前回は、1時間で結構な人数で体験しましたが、
今回は少人数(6名)のグループで2時間に挑戦しました。
海と山の素晴らしい景色を見ながらの体験です。
今回、初めて体験した家内も大変感動しておりました、次回も機会あれば体験したいと思います。

As others have mentioned, it does get quite dusty, but you can experience it for a long time, and moving through the great outdoors is a great way to relieve stress.

他の方も書かれている通り、砂埃まみれになりますが、かなり長い時間体験できますし、大自然の中をぐんぐん進むのはかなりストレス発散になりました。

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

My husband and I did this trip with our 20 and 14 year olds. We all enjoyed it. The boat scenery is beautiful the grotto is an amazing site and the music and entertainment on the way home was nice. We all even participated in the hula lesson.

The perfect activity to do on one of your getaway days, was so great to learn the history, and the challenges of the locals with survival on just daily living, on Kauai.
Was so good to be out on a very nice boat, but even better to be out with a captain and crew with great positive energy!! Took my 16 yo,14yo,7yo with and we all had a great time with great memories!, even had dolphins ride the wake of the boat for a bit!

I was able to visit the filming location of my favorite Jurassic Park, and since it included a 2-hour horseback ride, I chose this plan without hesitation. Although we couldn't stop at the filming location, I was very satisfied because I got to enjoy the beautiful scenery!

大好きなジュラシックパークのロケ地に行けること、2時間の乗馬がセットだったので迷わずこのプランを選びました☺︎
ロケ地に立ち止まることは出来なかったですが、綺麗な景色を見て回れたのでとても満足しています！

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, which was a great help.

For check-in, each person needs to register using a touch panel, so be careful about that. After checking in, you receive an original T-shirt. Even the smallest size, S, felt a bit large for women. After that, we stored our belongings in a locker and waited for the instructions. We had about a 45-minute wait. There were restrooms, vending machines, and a smoking area a bit further away.

After we were called, the instructor gave us a brief explanation and helped us put on the equipment. Then, we filmed a video in front of the Gojump flag before boarding the jet. The jet can hold about 16 people, so it feels cramped. Since the jet runs backward, those who get motion sickness might feel uneasy. It ascends to a considerable height in just a few minutes. They opened the window along the way to show us the view, which was amazing but a bit cold. Long sleeves and long pants might be better.

Once we reached the highest point, we jumped immediately. It might be good for those who are a bit scared since you jump before you can mentally prepare. At first, it’s a free fall, but it doesn’t feel like your insides are floating like on other thrill rides. It just feels like you’re resisting the wind, which is pleasant. I felt no fear at all. My husband, who has a fear of heights, said he wasn’t scared while flying (though he found the ascent in the jet scary).

After about two minutes of free fall, the parachute opens. During the free fall, the breathtaking scenery captures your attention, but after the parachute opens, you can relax and enjoy the view even more. You can see the ocean and all of Oahu, which is fantastic. Depending on the instructor, I was even allowed to steer the parachute a bit.

Experiencing the feeling of being a bird during the free fall and enjoying the wonderful scenery afterward creates unforgettable memories. Although it’s a bit pricey, this is an activity you should definitely try when you visit Hawaii. However, those who are prone to ear infections should be cautious, as the change in pressure might hurt their ears. (I had some trouble hearing for about three hours due to the pressure change, but my husband seemed fine.)

The photos and videos taken by the instructor were more plentiful than I expected and were fantastic. The pictures and videos were so great that they looked like composites. The round-trip transportation was also very convenient. On the way back, the bus driver played the ukulele, which was a nice touch.

新婚旅行で利用しました。
英語が話せないので不安でしたが、日本語が話せる受付の方がいて、説明してくれるので助かりました。
チェックインはタッチパネルで体験する人それぞれの登録が必要なので、注意です。
チェックインしたらオリジナルTシャツが貰えます。
女性は1番小さいSでも少し大きいくらいです。
その後持ち物をロッカーにしまい、案内があるまで待ちました。
私達は45分くらい待ち時間がありました。
トイレや自動販売機、少し離れたところに喫煙所などもありました。
案内された後は、担当の先生から簡単な説明と器具の装着がありました。
そしてGojumpの旗の前で動画撮影をした後、そのままジェット機に乗車。
ジェット機内に16人くらい入るので狭く感じます。
ジェット機は後ろ向きに走るので酔う人は酔うかも。
数分でかなりの高さまで浮上します。
途中窓を開けて景色を見せてくれました。
最高の景色でしたが、少し寒かったです。
長袖長ズボンの方がいいかも。
1番高いとこまで行ったらすぐにジャンプでした。
心の準備ができる前に飛ぶので、ビビりの人にはいいかも笑
最初はフリーフォールですが、絶叫系のような内蔵が浮く感じはありませんでした。
ひたすら風の抵抗を受けている感じで、気持ちいいです。
怖さはまったくありませんでした。
高所恐怖症の旦那も、飛んでる最中は怖くなかったとのこと。(ジェット機上昇中は怖かったらしいです。)
体感で2分くらいフリーフォールしたらパラシュートが開かれます。
フリーフォール中も素晴らしい景色に目を奪われますが、パラシュート後は心に余裕が生まれ、より景色を楽しめます。
海やオアフ島全域が見渡せ最高です。
インストラクターさん次第だと思いますが、私はパラシュートの操縦も少しやらせて貰えました。
フリーフォール中は鳥の気持ちを味わえ、パラシュート後も素晴らしい景色を堪能でき、一生の思い出になります。
少し値段は張りますが、ハワイに行った際は絶対に体験した方がいいアクティビティです。
ただ、中耳炎によくなる人は気圧の変化で耳を痛めるかもしれないので注意です。(私は気圧の変化で耳をやられ、3時間くらい耳の聞こえが悪くなりましたが、旦那はなんともなかったようです。)
インストラクターさんが撮ってくれる写真と動画も思っていたより盛りだくさんで、最高でした。
合成写真かと思うほど素晴らしい写真と動画が手に入ります。
行き帰りの送迎があるとこもとても便利でした。
帰りにはバスの運転手さんがウクレレ演奏をしてくれ、和みました。

Nothing negative to say. Small sailing boat with less people. That was good because it was not crowded. Crew was funny & helpful. You can bring your own drinks and snacks.
It was a nice and relaxing trip.

I participated with my child (a college student). Since there was no transportation provided, we walked a lot from our hotel, which was near Honolulu Zoo. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. Once we flew, the view was spectacular, and we enjoyed a different side of Hawaii. They don't provide drinks, so it's best to bring your own.

子供（大学生）と2人で参加しました。
送迎なしでしたので、泊まっているホテルが、ホノルルズーの近くで、ひたすら歩きました。集合場所が、わかりづらかった。
飛んでみるとかなりの絶景で、また違うハワイを楽しめました。飲み物とかは出ないので持って行くべきです。

On the last day of my trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise. The ride was relatively calm with little rocking. Since I had dinner planned afterward, I joined in a regular long dress, and while there was a bit of splashing, I didn't get too wet. However, when boarding the boat, my feet got wet, so it's better to avoid wearing pants. Once on board, the explanations were in English, and I couldn't understand much, but it wasn't a problem at all. The sunset was beautiful, but what followed was magical and wonderful, making it worth participating. I had previously been on a daytime cruise, but I definitely recommend the sunset cruise!

ハワイ旅行最後の日に、サンセットクルーズ参加しました。揺れも少なく、比較的穏やかなクルーズでした。その後、ディナーを予定してましたので、普通のロングワンピースで参加しましたが、少し水しぶきがかかるくらいで、たくさん濡れることもありませんでした。ただ、船に乗り込む時は、足が濡れるので、パンツとかは避けたほうがいいです。乗船後は英語での説明で、何言ってるかさっぱりでしたが笑。特に困ることはないです。夕日が沈むとこもキレイですが、その後が幻想的で素晴らしく、参加して良かったです。以前に昼間のクルーズも乗りましたが、絶対サンセットクルーズがお勧めです。

The show was super entertaining! 10/10.
The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10

The crew and the team were awesome. The excursion was truly memorable.

It was great that children as young as 2 years old could board. Our three generations, including a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, had a wonderful time! When we were chasing dolphins, the 2-year-old stayed on the boat and was delighted to see the dolphins from the second floor, saying they were cute. The 5-year-old tried twice but ended up crying because the mask didn't fit. The 7-year-old was in great shape! They enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, and the slide more than any of the adults, diving in multiple times. Thank you to Maki and the other crew members for being so kind and attentive.

２歳から乗船可能性で助かりました。５歳、７歳の子どもも含め３世代で楽しむことができました！イルカを追う時は２歳の子は船で待機、２階からイルカの姿を見て可愛い♡と喜んでいました。５歳の子は２回挑戦しましたがマスクが合わず泣いてしまいました。７歳は絶好調！イルカも海亀もスライダーも、大人たちの誰よりも楽しんで何度もダイブしていました。まきさん始め他のクルーの方々も親切丁寧で、ありがとうございました。

We had a lot of fun on the tour Ridge was amazing and gave us a lot of good local history and knowledge. If he didn't know the answer to a question he found it out for us. We'd highly recommend this tour to anybody looking for a great day on the island.

I participated with my 20-year-old nephew. We were a bit worried since both of us get motion sickness, but the boat didn't rock much, so it was fine. There were five groups of ten people, including us, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The moments of going up and down were thrilling, and during the descent, they made it a bit of a steep drop and let us down into the sea, which was a lot of fun. The view from above was breathtaking, and it was the best experience. I definitely want to participate again!

20歳の甥と2人で参加しました。2人とも乗り物酔いをするので少し心配していましたが、ボートもあまり揺れずに問題ありませんでした。私たち含め5組10人でしたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。上がる時と降りる時はスリリングで、降りる時は少し急降下させたり、海に降ろしたり、楽しませてくれました。上での景色は絶景で最高の体験ができました。またぜひ参加したいです！

The guides, reception, bus attendants, and tour guides were all in English. Therefore, I could only understand the atmosphere, but it was a lot of fun.

The pickup was from a nearby hotel. The bus, which had a capacity of 50 people, had seats like those in a Mercedes. On the way there, it felt about half full. On the way back, it was almost at full capacity. Upon arrival, we gathered with various tour guests and received a brief explanation. After that, we had free time until the reception time to change clothes, put our belongings in lockers, or look for souvenirs. It’s a good idea to head to the respective tour locations by the reception time.

As for the actual tour, we rode in buggies lined up in six rows, stopping about five times along the way for the guide to explain the filming locations and scenery. Of course, I didn’t understand any English, so I just got the general vibe.

Also, since it had rained the day before, there was no dust, but there were about five small ponds, and my wife and I jumped right in, getting completely soaked! So, if you want to dive into the ponds, changing clothes is a must. We stopped at about two spots that felt like Jurassic Park, and at the gate of Jurassic Park, my wife took pictures while sitting in the passenger seat of the buggy, so there were no issues.

Overall, it was a lot of fun, and the guide was super high-energy, telling lots of American jokes, which was great (even though I couldn't understand). I’d love to come back once I can speak English.

After the tour, the bus departs pretty much on time, so let’s head to where we got off. If you don’t get on early on the way back, there might not be any seats available.

ガイドさん、受付、バスの案内人、ツアーの案内人、全て英語です。
そのため、ほぼ雰囲気でしかわからなかったですが、とても楽しかったです。

ピックアップは、近くのホテルから。
５０人乗りの内装がベンツのシートのバスでした。行きは半分くらい埋まる感じ。帰りはほぼ満席でした。
現地に到着し、いろんなツアーのお客さんをまとめて、ざっと説明あり。その後、受付時間まで自由時間。着替えやロッカーに荷物入れたり、お土産見たりします。
受付時間には、それぞれのツアーの場所へ行くと良いでしょう。

さて、実際のツアーですが、６列並んでバギーで走行し、途中5回くらいとまり、ガイドさんから撮影現場や景色の説明がありました。
もちろん当方全く英語わからないので、雰囲気で理解笑

また、前日雨が降っていたため、埃は舞いませんでしたが、小池スポットが５ヶ所くらいあり、夫婦で思いっきり突っ込んだため、びしょびしょになりました笑
そのため、小池に突っ込みたい人は着替えは必須です。
ジュラシックパークっぽいところに２箇所くらい止まりましたし、ジュラシックパークのゲートのところは最後バギー乗りながら助手席の妻が撮影してくれたので、何も問題なかったです。

とにかく終始楽しかったし、ガイドさんもめっちゃハイテンションでアメリカンジョークたくさん話すので、とても良かった(理解はできなかったけど)
英語をできるようになったらもう一回来たいですね

ツアー後は割と時間通りにバスが出ますので、降りたところに行きましょう。
帰りは早めに乗らないと席がないかも。
