All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The fee was over 100,000 yen per person, and I thought it was expensive, but I was relieved when Tosi, the Japanese-speaking pilot, welcomed us. I also took a helicopter ride over Iguazu Falls, which was 28,000 yen for 15 minutes, and this flight was two and a half hours. If we calculate simply, that would be 280,000 yen. In reality, we flew from the Waikoloa heliport to Hilo and had to refuel, which also incurs fuel costs. Above all, the pilot explained everything in Japanese and answered various questions clearly, and the view of the volcanic crater was impressive! The waterfalls in the canyon were also wonderful. I gained a good understanding of how the Big Island was formed, and it was definitely worth it. If you have the time, the course that takes you down to the waterfalls would also be great... Participated on August 22, 2023.

料金が一人10万円超え、高いと思いながらの参加でしたが、日本語のパイロットのリクエストがかなってTosiさんがお出迎え安心しました。
イグアスの滝遊覧でもヘリに乗りましたが15分で2万8000円、今回のフライトは2時間半、単純計算で10倍とすると28万円。実際ワイコロアのヘリポートからヒロまで飛んで給油、燃料代もかかっています。何よりパイロットが日本語で説明、いろいろな質問にも明快に応えてくださり、火山の火口も迫力満点！渓谷の滝も素晴らしかったです。ハワイ島の成り立ちが良く分かり、絶対損はしません。余裕があれば滝に降りるコースもいいのでは… 2023,8,22参加

I was a beginner at mountain biking, but I had no problems thanks to the pre-ride video viewing and practice sessions. I had the best experience in the wonderful nature of Kualoa, which is also a famous filming location for movies. I highly recommend it!!

マウンテンバイクは初心者でしたが、事前のビデオ視聴や走行練習があったので問題なかったです。
有名映画のロケ地でもあるクアロアの素晴らしい大自然で最高の経験ができました。
本当におすすめです！！

The rainbow and sunset were beautiful.
It was a shame that there wasn't a good spot available for the sunset photo opportunity.
It would be nice if there were better timing for changing locations.

虹と夕日は綺麗だった。
夕日のシャッターチャンスに、良い場所が空かなくて残念だった。
場所替えのタイミングがあると良い。

The views were amazing & staff was super friendly! If you come early enough, be sure to check out the petting zoo after you check in. Will definitely be booking again and would absolutely recommend to friends and family.

The guide was very kind and provided a great tour, making for a very enjoyable time! The hibiscus ice bar was delicious!

ガイドさんが、親切に案内してくれてとても楽しい時間が過ごせました！
ハイビスカスアイスバーが美味しかったです！

The trip was great. Nice being out on the ocean. Catamaran felt safe. Captain and crew were friendly and competent. Lots to drink plus snacks. Always a beautiful sunset. Highly recommended. Would do it again. Mahalo!

Wonderful experience exploring North Shore mountain range, & explanation of what we were seeing flor and fauna. Especially enjoyed exploring the richness of the fertile land ️ scenery ⛰️, Mahalo!!

I felt very reassured to participate with the Japanese staff present. Thank you, Yukiko, for a great time. The sandbar was beautiful, and we were lucky to see both turtles and manta rays while searching for turtles. During the last snorkeling around the coral reef, I happened to see a big turtle up close, which was a shocking experience that I have never experienced before. All the staff, including the captain, were very kind. Thank you so much!

日本語スタッフがいて、とても安心して参加できました。Yukikoさん、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
サンドバーの綺麗さ、亀探しでは亀もマンタも見ることが出来てラッキーでした。
最後のサンゴの周りでのシュノーケリングは、偶然にも大きな亀を間近で見ることが出来て、今まで体験したことが無い、衝撃的な感動をする事ができました。
船長も含めて、全てのスタッフさんが親切でした。
本当にありがとうございました！

I was miraculously able to see a manta ray, and I was so happy! Of course, I also saw many honu (sea turtles). The volleyball and snorkeling activities with the staff were a lot of fun, and the kids were thrilled! The burger for lunch was really delicious, just as the reviews said. All the staff were wonderful, and it was a fantastic tour!

奇跡的にマンタも見れ、幸せ〜
もちろんホヌもたくさん見れました。
お兄さんたちとやったバレーや、
シュノーケルはとても楽しくて
子供達も大喜びでした！
昼食のバーガーは口コミどおり
本当においしかったです。
スタッフ皆さん良い人で
素敵なツアーでした！

I encountered a view that was more wonderful than I had expected, and it was the best. Although the distance was considerable, which is unavoidable, the long drive by car was a bit of a drawback. However, the explanation in Japanese by a second-generation person from Yokosuka was incredibly clear. Since it was a nearly seven-hour tour, I suppose that's to be expected, but the cost... If I can get past that, I would love to go again.

思っていたよりも、素晴らしい景色に出会えて、最高でした。距離があり、仕方がないのですが、車での移動が長いのが玉に瑕、、、、
英語で説明！よありましたが、横須賀出身の２世の方の日本語の説明で、物凄くよくわかりました。
七時間近くのツアーなので、しょうがないのでしょうが、費用が、、、、、、、それさえクリアできれば、もう一で、行きたいです。

There were about 15 participants, and a guide was at the front and back. The gathering and dispersal felt casual, as we just came to the bay and then left, so I think it's good to come in swimsuits and leave in swimsuits. There were public restrooms nearby. If you have a certain level of English or some canoeing experience, you'll feel more comfortable participating. Also, the light snacks provided were small bags of snacks and about one can of juice. They lent out life jackets for children. The snorkeling masks were one size, so the kids used their own goggles. It was a beautiful bay with very clear blue water, and it was a wonderful half-day tour while feeling the nature of Hawaii. Thank you very much.

参加者が15名くらいで、先頭と後尾にガイドさんがついてくれました。集合も解散もラフな感じで湾の辺りに来て帰るという感じなので、水着で来て水着で帰るくらいの心構えだとよいかなーと思います。公衆トイレは近くにありました。ある程度英語ができる方、もしくは多少のカヌー経験者だと、より安心して参加できるかなと思います。また、軽食はスナック小袋とジュース1缶程度でした。
子ども用ライフジャケット貸し出ししてくれました。シュノーケルマスクはワンサイズだったので、子どもたちは持参のゴーグルを使用しました。
とても澄んだブルーの綺麗な湾で、ハワイの自然を感じながらのツアーで素晴らしい半日になりました。ありがとうございました。

I was worried about what would happen due to the unfortunate rain, but when it was time to ride the horses, the rain stopped, and the weather was just right! Since the temperature was a bit low, I wasn't too hot wearing a windbreaker over my short sleeves. All the horses were calm, and my younger child (9) had a great time riding. Along the way, the guide picked guava for us to eat! It was delicious. The guide was very fun, making jokes and giving us polite advice, which was great. The path down to the canyon was incredibly steep, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but the guide's driving was very skilled! At the end, the guide took pictures of each of us!

あいにくの雨で、どうなる事かと心配しましたが、いざ馬に乗る時になったら雨もやみ、ちょうど良いお天気に！気温が低めだったので、半袖の上にウインドブレーカーを着ても暑くなかったです。どの馬もおとなしく、下の子（9）も楽しく乗れました。　途中でガイドさんが採ったグァバを食べました！美味しかったです。とても楽しいガイドさんで、冗談を言ったり丁寧にアドバイスしてくれたりで良かったです。　渓谷に降りる道はものすごい急でちょっと肝が冷えましたが、ガイドさんの運転は慣れたものでした!　最後にガイドさんがそれぞれの写真を撮ってくれました!

Perfect night. Seating was good, the variety of food was plentiful and delicious. The show was great. Very beautifully done. Loved the story of the love a father has for his daughter and interesting history of the island. Marvelous performances, great fire dances, wonderful cast. Recommend to everyone.

This was a perfect tour ever. The crew was so knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. Would recommend this tour for everyone. Amazing scenery, great island history, interesting island stories and a fun boat ride. If I ever get the chance to visit again I will absolutely take this tour again.

The zip line in the morning was wonderful, both the air and the scenery. My sixth-grade daughter also had a great time, sliding down on her own and even with the instructor since she's light. It was just an incredibly fun time that flew by.

朝一番のジップライン、空気も景色も素晴らしかったです。小学6年生の娘も、一人で滑ったり、軽いのでインストラクターの方と滑ったり、とにかく楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎました。

I got in trouble for jumping at the height of the waves while holding the rail (understandably), so don’t do that, but it was an awesome adventure! Would gladly go again, but without jumping this time.

I was looking for a parasailing tour with transportation because the distance from the hotel I was staying at to the meeting point was quite far, and this was the only tour available on weekends, so I booked it the day before departure. It turned out to be about a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the meeting point, which was surprisingly easy. For those staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very close. I had read in reviews that some people experienced seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. When we got on the boat, there were two families from the mainland U.S. and us, and everyone was friendly and welcoming, making it a lot of fun. When it was our turn to go parasailing, we took off at 150 feet, which was very high and a bit scary. However, everyone on the boat waved at us, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were amazing, making it a wonderful experience. We were up in the air for over 10 minutes, so I think it's a great value tour. I didn't experience any seasickness, and it was truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

宿泊しているホテルから集合場所まで距離があるため送迎付きのパラセイリングを探していましたが、土日やっているのは、当ツアーのみだったため出国前日に申込みました。宿泊ホテルから集合場所までは徒歩15分くらいで、意外と簡単に行けました。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊の方はすぐです。口コミで船酔いすると記載があったため事前に酔い止めを服用し、いざボートにのってみると、アメリカ本国からきた家族2組と私たちで、皆さん気さくでアットホームな方たちで、とても楽しかったです。いざ、自分たちの番が来て、パラセイリングで飛び立ちましたが、150フィート、とても高くて怖かったです。でも、ボートから皆が手を振ってくれ、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、とても良い体験ができました。10分以上飛んでいるので、お得なツアーだと思います。船酔いもせず、本当に楽しかったです。おススメです！

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time! The driver who picked us up to Waikiki had a lovely smile and was very pleasant, which made me feel good from the moment we were greeted. The Japanese guide's explanations in Japanese once we arrived at the port definitely added to my sense of security. The live music on board, donuts, drinks, and above all, the presence of a restroom made it comfortable for families with children.

お天気にも恵まれ、満喫できました！
ワイキキまで送迎のドライバーさんは笑顔が素敵で感じが良く、お迎えの瞬間から気分良く参加できました。
港に着いてからの日本人のガイドさんの日本語での説明はやはり安心感が増しました。
船内での生演奏、ドーナツ、ドリンク、そしてなにより、トイレ付きというのが、子連れには安心して過ごせました。

The view was very nice! The staff were friendly, and I had a great time. The landing was slow, so there was no strain on my legs and back.

とてもいい景色でした！
スタッフさんは感じがよくて、楽しめました。
着地もゆっくりで足腰に負担無かったです。

The tour guides Vince and Kekoa was awesome! Kekoa was super witty and it mean the tour so fun! Definitely, would recommend this tour 100%

The food was amazing, the show was a class act, staff and service was excellent, very welcoming and respectful, it was though very far from Waikiki but overall a perfect ending to our vacation.

It was good, staff were okay, they had a private beach with amazing Mountain View. I wish they would let people gallop a little bit in the field instead of 45 minutes of strolling which is boring.

The overall cost was reasonable, the grotto beautiful, but the cruise and experience was pretty dull overall.

I rode a horse for the first time. I was scared because it was such a big animal, but by the end, I was able to pet its neck and nose. The scenery was also wonderful, making it a great memory. I couldn't have a proper lunch. You need to put your belongings in a locker. Only credit cards are accepted. After riding for a full two hours, I was a bit tired. I highly recommend it!

はじめてお馬さんに乗りました。
こんな大きな動物ははじめてで怖かったのですが、最後は首や鼻を撫でられるようになりました。景色も素晴らしく良い思い出です。昼食は満足に取れません。手荷物はロッカーに入れる必要があります。クレカしか使えません。２時間たっぷり乗って少々疲れました。是非是非おすすめです。

The view was great as we gradually descended from a high place. Additionally, with the help of the staff, we were able to enjoy ourselves. Although it was English-only, the staff demonstrated what to do, so there were no issues.

高所から徐々に降りてくるため景色は良かった
また、スタッフの助けもあり楽しく行えました。
英語オンリーですがスタッフの人が見本を見せてくれますので問題ありませんでした

Aloha! We had a great time on the tour. Cousin Kimo was very knowledgeable and made the information on the tour interesting. It is the perfect length to get a sneak peak of Pearl Harbor and visit the Arizona memorial with a 3 year old in tow. So glad we did it. It is also a nice way to see a few of the hot spots downtown. Thank you cousin Kimo for all the information and the jokes that made it fun.

I was so moved when I saw dolphins on an online tour that I thought I definitely wanted to participate when I went to Hawaii!

In the morning, it was raining and the weather was gloomy, but as the sun rose, it cleared up, and when we arrived at the port, there was a rainbow! We boarded the boat and headed to where the dolphins were, but it seemed like a child sitting nearby got seasick. Since it was a small boat and it rocked quite a bit, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

The wetsuits were available for rent on the day, but according to the guide, "Your body temperature rises and you become more prone to seasickness." I think most people, including us, did not rent them.

Once the dolphins were spotted, it was a flurry of activity! We quickly went outside the boat and swam to where the dolphins were. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was struggling to keep up (laughs). It felt more like watching the dolphins swim by from above rather than swimming with them.

After that, we encountered another pod of dolphins!

After the dolphin swim, we went snorkeling in a spot with lots of tropical fish. I couldn't see it, but my friend said they saw a manta ray! I find it hard to take nice underwater photos myself, but a professional photographer took beautiful pictures and videos, and I still look at them and remember the experience even after returning home. It's paid, but I think it's worth purchasing!

以前、オンラインツアーでイルカを見て感動したので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に参加したい！と思っていました。
朝は雨が降っていてどんよりした天気でしたが、日が昇るにつれ晴れてきて、港に着いたときには虹が！
船に乗ってイルカがいる地点まで向かいますが、近くの席のお子さんが船酔いをしてしまったようで…。小さな船で結構揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。
ウェットスーツは当日レンタルでしたが、ガイドさん曰く「体温が上がって酔いやすい」とのこと。私たち含め、大多数の方はレンタルしていなかったと思います。
イルカが見つかってからは大忙し！次々船の外に出て、イルカがいる場所まで泳ぎます。私は泳ぎが得意でないので、着いていくのに必死でした（笑）
イルカと一緒に泳ぐというよりは、イルカが通り過ぎるのを上から眺める感じかな。
その後もう一度イルカの群れに出会えました！

ドルフィンスイムの後は熱帯魚がたくさんいる場所でシュノーケリングをしました。
私は見れませんでしたが、友人はマンタを見れたそうです！
自分だとなかなか水中の写真は綺麗に撮れませんが、プロのカメラマンさんが綺麗な写真と動画を撮ってくださって、帰国しても眺めては思い出しています。有料ですが、購入して損はないと思います！

The parasailing experience under the clear, refreshing sky was fantastic. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time trying it.

I checked in early and spent some time on the beach right in front of me before boarding the boat. The crew was cheerful and enthusiastic, providing instructions mainly in English, but they also offered assistance in simple Japanese.

We shot up to 150 meters in the air and enjoyed views that are usually not visible. Although there is a fee, they took a lot of photos in burst mode, and I was able to receive the data transfer if I had an SD card or iPhone.

I highly recommend this activity!

天気もよく爽快な空の下のパラセイリング体験。何度かハワイに来ていますが初めてでした。
チェックインを早目に済ませ、目の前のビーチで時間を潰し、ボートに乗船。
クルーの皆さんも明るく盛り上げてくれて、指示は基本英語ですが簡単な日本語でも補助してくれます。
150ｍ上空に一気に上がり普段は見られない景色を堪能しました。有料ですが写真は連写でかなりの枚数、SDカードとiphone であればデータ転送で受け取れました。
おすすめのアクティビティです。

Wow this activity was one of my favorites! The sandbar alone is breathtaking, but the staff made this experience wholesome. Every single worker there was incredibly so kind, definitely brought the Aloha spirit. Live music was phenomenal as well.

This was an amazing tour that was the highlight of our week in Kauai. It was well worth the cost for our group of six for an amazing afternoon cruising the Na Pali Coast for for over four hours. Included a great lunch, sights and snorkeling for those that wanted to.The crew was absolutely amazing and made the experience. Thank you
