All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

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

So much fun

We did the 1000ft rope.

My son was really hesitant to go up but the staff were excellent, caring, accommodating and managed to get him to do it - which he then thoroughly enjoyed, especially when getting dunked into the sea!

Excellent staff

Highly recommended activity

It felt higher than I imagined. Even for someone like me who is not good with roller coasters, I was able to ride without feeling scared. It's located about a five-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, making it convenient for those staying at the Hilton. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly enjoy the ride even with the short time I had on the day of my departure. I wasn't sure if there was an additional fee for taking photos.

想像以上に高く感じました。
ジェットコースターが苦手な私でも、恐怖を感じることなく乗れました。
ヒルトンホテルから徒歩五分くらいのところにあり、ヒルトンホテルに滞在している人に便利な立地です。おかげで、出国当日の短い時間でもサクッと乗ることができました。
写真を撮ってもらうのが別料金かかるのかわかりませんでした。

I definitely recommend taking this tour. It’s very well paced so that you’re never stressed out or rushed, but never bored either. I loved learning Hawaiian history and fork lore expertly told by my tour guide Uncle Jim. I would request him if you can. The stops are great and it’s a really nice day trip. Hope you can do this and have fun!

I did a 2-hour horseback riding tour at Kualoa Ranch (with transportation included). Upon arrival, everything was in English for check-in and facility guidance. I had a reservation at 12:00 and arrived around 11:30, where I received a general briefing before heading to each activity. They advised us to arrive at least 15 minutes early, and if you were even a little late, they would start without waiting. Before that, I was told to put my backpack and other belongings in a locker, but the available lockers were broken and empty... With only five minutes left until the meeting time, I was anxious, but I explained the situation to the staff who gave the briefing and was able to hand my things directly to them. I accidentally left my valuables inside, which worried me, but they were returned safely after the tour. There is a small pouch holder on the horse's saddle, so you can put a small pouch (about the size of a sacoche) and water there. Having a strap to hang your smartphone on your shoulder makes it easy to take photos. The guide spoke English but also made an effort to communicate in broken Japanese, which was nice. The sunlight was incredibly strong, so I should have worn a long-sleeve shirt. It was scorching. Overall, it was a great experience to enjoy the stunning scenery for a relaxed two hours!

クアロアランチで2時間の乗馬(送迎付き)をしました。現地に到着し、全て英語での案内でチェックインや施設の案内があります。12:00からの予約で、11:30ごろ到着し、全体説明を受けてから、各アクティビティー先へ行きます。15分前には必ず行くように言われ、少しでも遅れたら待たずに開始するとのこと。その前に、乗馬はバックパックなどの荷物はロッカーへ入れるように言われましたが、利用可能なロッカーが故障していて空いていなく…、集合まであと5分しか時間がなく焦りましたが、説明を受けたスタッフに事情を説明して直接預けました。うっかり貴重品も入れたままで、ずっと気がかりでしたが終了後に無事に返してもらえました。馬のサドルにかける小物入れがあるので、そこに小さいポーチ(サコッシュ程度の大きさ)や水は入れられます。スマホは肩にかけられるストラップがあると撮影しやすく便利です。ガイドは英語ですが、片言で日本語で声掛けしたり気を使ってくれて感じの良いスタッフでした。日差しが半端なく強いので、長袖を羽織るべきでした。じりじりします。総合的に絶景をゆったり2時間堪能できて良い経験になりました！

There is a meeting point at a port not far from the airport in Lihe. There is no check-in; you just show your voucher and board the boat. Once we set sail, we traveled upstream while listening to various explanations about the surroundings. Along the way, we waved to people in kayaks and arrived at the dock in about ten minutes. Just a few minutes on foot from there, the cave we were aiming for suddenly appeared. While we couldn't enter the cave itself, its grand and mysterious presence brought an indescribable sense of calm and satisfaction. In front of the cave, a hula performance was showcased, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.

On the return boat ride, there was a performance of Hawaiian music, and we even had a mini hula class with all the tour participants! Everyone was in high spirits, and the sense of unity was wonderful! During this tour, there was a significant participation from Japanese tourists, so they also performed a hula version of "Ue o Muite Arukou." It seemed like they were part of another tour group, but if they hadn't been there, I would have been the only Japanese person, and I might not have had the chance to hear that song. It was quite a lucky experience.

リフェの空港から遠くないところに集合場所の港？があります。
特にチェックイン等もなく、バウチャーを見せてそのまま船へ。
出航したら周辺のいろいろな説明を聞きながら川を遡行。
途中、カヤックに乗った人達と手を振りあいながら十数分での船着き場に到着。そこから徒歩で数分のところに目的の洞窟がバーンと登場。
洞窟の中にこそ入れませんが、壮大かつ神秘的とも言える佇まいに何とも言えない落ち着きと満足感が漂います。洞窟前では、フラも披露され、ハワイ感を存分に堪能できます。
帰りの船内でもハワイアンミュージックの披露や、ツアー参加者全員でのプチフラ教室?!も。皆んなノリノリで一体感もまた良かったです！
今回のツアーでは日本人のまとまった参加があったため、「上を向いて歩こう」のフラバージョンの披露も。別のツアーの団体さんか何かのようでしたが、もしそれらの方がおられなければ日本人は私一人だったので、この曲を聴くこともできなかったかと。なかなかラッキーな体験でした。

I could clearly see that the staff members were making a great effort to entertain the guests. Thanks to that, even though English was the main language and there were some parts of the conversation I didn't fully understand, I had a wonderful time. I also felt that they were well-trained in safety measures. This time, we went on a zip line tour as a family, and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, creating great memories.

スタッフの方々がゲストを楽しませようと一生懸命努力している事が
良く分かりました。そのおかげで、英語がメインなので会話が少し分からないところもありましたが、充分に楽しませていただきました。
安全面についてもよく教育されていると感じました。
今回は家族でのジップラインツアーでしたが、みんなかなり楽しそうでいい思い出になったと思います。

Although it was only an English-speaking guide, we had a great time and were able to enjoy the zip line safely.

On the way there, we ended up on a bus with a group of over 40 people, and our family was separated onto different buses. However, feeling anxious, I negotiated and managed to get us all on the same bus.

英語のガイドのみでしたが、楽しく盛り上げていただいて安全にジップラインを楽しむことができました。

行きのバスで40名以上の団体と一緒になり、家族がバラバラのバスに乗車することになってしまいましたが、不安なので交渉してみたところなんとか一緒にバスに乗ることができました。

I read in a review that the wait time for the shuttle bus is long, so I took an Uber instead. It cost about $50 one way. It was great to get there and back quickly!

It cost $5 to store my luggage in a locker, but they only accepted Visa or MasterCard! Since I only had an American Express card and cash, I consulted with the staff, and they were able to help me.

The scenery was very beautiful, and the horses were adorable, making it an unforgettable experience! Important instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Please go right" and "Kick! Kick!" I would love to experience it again.

送迎バスを利用するとバス待ち時間ぎ長い、とこちらのレビューで読んだので、Uberで行きました。片道50ドルくらいでした。さっと行けて帰られてよかったです！

ロッカーに荷物を預けるのに5ドル必要でしたが、ビザカードかマスターカードのみ！アメックスカードと現金しかなかったため、受付の方に相談したところ、預かってもらえました。

とてもきれいな景色で、馬もかわいくて、忘れられない体験となりました！大切なことは日本語で指示してくれました。「右に行ってください」「蹴って！蹴って！」など。もう一度体験してみたいです。

We arrived around 8:20 since we rented a car. We checked in right away at the spot with the red umbrella. It went smoothly without any issues.

I understand some English, but I felt reassured as a Japanese female guide explained everything carefully before we boarded the boat.

All the staff were very kind, and we had a great time. We played with the SUP and the boat the whole time. The person in charge of SUP was local but could speak quite a bit of Japanese, which was very helpful. (It was amusing Japanese.)

On the boat, there was water and orange juice available. While the website and reviews mentioned snacks like chips, we only had donuts during our visit. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time we returned, which was disappointing. I hope they consider having more variety and quantity of snacks. It seems inconsistent from day to day.

It's advisable to bring marine shoes, towels, hats, and rash guards since there's no shade in the water. There was only one changing area, so there was quite a line. If you dislike waiting, it's better to come back a bit earlier.

On the way back, coincidentally, a couple of musicians participating in the tour sang for us. The local staff seemed excited, so they must be famous musicians. I wonder who they are? Their child also sang along, and it was incredibly cute. The atmosphere on the boat became very warm and pleasant.

Most of the participants were Japanese, but I didn't confirm this properly, and it seemed like they didn't tip much, which made me feel a bit sorry for the staff.

Overall, I was very satisfied. The children were happy too. Thank you very much.

レンタカーでしたので、8：20頃到着。
着いてすぐに赤いパラソルのとこでチェックイン。問題なくスムーズにできました。
英語はある程度わかりますが、船に乗る前に女性の日本人ガイドが丁寧に説明してくれましたので安心しました。

スタッフはみんな優しい方ばかりで楽しかったです。
我々はずっとSUPとボートで遊んでました。
SUP担当の方は、現地の方ですが日本語をかなり話すことができサポートもあり大変良かったです。（おもしろ日本語です）

船内は水、オレンジジュースがありました。軽食はホームページや口コミではチップス等あるようでしたが、我々のときはドーナツのみ。数に限りがあったので帰りには無くなっていたのが残念です。軽食の数や種類をもう少し考えてほしいかな。日によって違うのはどうかと。。

持って行った方が良いのは、マリンシューズ、タオル、帽子とラッシュガード。海の中なので日よけがないので。
着替えるところが1か所のみなので、だいぶ並んでました。待つのが嫌な人は、少し早めにあがることですね。

帰りに、たまたま？ツアーに参加していたミュージシャン夫婦が歌ってくれました。現地スタッフは興奮していたので有名なミュージシャンのようです。誰なんでしょう？夫婦の子供も一緒に歌っていて、すごく可愛かったです。船内がとても和みました。

参加者の多くが日本人でしたが、ちゃんとは確認してませんが、あまりチップを払ってなかったようだったので、スタッフさんに少し申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

全体的にはすごく満足。子供たちも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

I experienced a 2-hour Magic Island tour. I could feel the Hawaiian breeze, and the guides were friendly, which made me very satisfied. The Segway has a pouch, so you can carry valuables and towels. At the end, they also recommended a great lunch spot. Although it was in the morning, I was under the blazing sun for 2 hours, so my hands and arms got really sunburned. Even with sunscreen, I still burned, so I think it's better for sensitive individuals to wear long sleeves.

2時間のマジックアイランド周遊コースを体験。ハワイの風を感じられ、ガイドさんたちも親切でとても満足でした。セグウェイにポーチが着いているので、貴重品やタオルは持ち運べます。最後におすすめのランチのお店も紹介いただきました。午前中でしたが、2時間炎天下なので、手の甲から腕がすごく日焼けしました。日焼け止めを塗ってもやけたので、敏感な方は長袖がいいと思います。

I am so grateful to our guide, Mr. M! My third-grade daughter was extremely scared when she first jumped in, and I almost gave up thinking snorkeling in deep water would be impossible for her. However, the guide encouraged her and skillfully guided her, and by the end, she was able to do it perfectly!

We couldn't catch up to the dolphins, so only Dad got to see them, but we were able to see three turtles, which was a long-awaited dream for this trip. My daughter was so excited!

By the way, the next day we moved to another hotel, and she was saying she wanted to go snorkeling there too and was really looking forward to it. As parents, we couldn't have assisted her first snorkeling experience without Mr. M's help. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much.

とにかくガイドのMさんに感謝です！
小3娘は最初飛び込んだ時、めちゃくちゃ怖がっていたので、やっぱり足の届かないところでのシュノーケリングは無理かなぁ、と諦めかけましたが、その後にガイドさんが声かけて上手に誘ってくれ、最後はバッチリできるようになりました！
イルカは追いつけなくてパパだけしか見られませんでしたが、今回の旅で念願だったタートルはバッチリと3匹も見られました。娘、大興奮でした！

ちなみに、翌日には移動して別のホテルに入ったのですが、そこでもシュノーケリングする！と言って楽しんでました。親だけではとても娘の初シュノーケリングをアシストできませんでしたが、Mさんのおかげで出来ました。いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

I highly recommend Makana Charters for your tour of the Na Pali coast! Capt. Rob, Leroy, and Bobby were the best crew! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We enjoyed the stories and Hawaiian tradition around the various stops along the way. I was impressed that Bobby remembered every person's name on the boat and showed a genuine interest in each and every one. Leroy even took song requests! The water was a bit choppy the day we went, but that made it all the more fun! We enjoyed the amazing sights of the Na Pali coast, the cave and waterfall, the dolphins swimming right under the kids' feet off of the bow, the sea turtle waving hello, and the snorkeling. The sandwiches were delicious, too! I would definitely book with Makana Charters again! We had a blast!

It was a good time on water looking at Waikiki beach and the Diamond Head. The best time for its price!!
The crew was friendly and beer option was good.

It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.

Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.

思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。

また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。

This was our first zipline experience and it was so much fun!! Thank you to our amazing team that lead our group. They made it much more memorable . I would definitely recommend veltra for your zipline adventure!

My family and I (two kids 11 and 8 plus my spouse) had a blast on the Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical / Snorkel Sail. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer! Our captain was entertaining, the crew knowledgeable, and the facilities were clean. Equipment was sufficient and the waters were clear and calm. I highly recommend!

Fun day with a delicious meal. The windy roads were not horrible either!

Delicious dinner and a fun evening on the water! Would do it again :)

Our tour got cancelled, and this was a fun replacement!

A beautiful view from above overlooking the Waikiki city while on a volcano crater!! with a fun delicious ending!! Take this tour you wont regret it.

We loved this event- our kids had fun with the dancers before the show!

Fun evening on our honeymoon! We would visit this fabulous crew again- MAHALO!!

The kids enjoyed the views from the port holes! However it is height restricted so triple check!

Easy to pre-purchase before the park, they send you the QR and your ready to go!

Grounds the luau takes place on is breathtaking- my favorite luau on all islands.

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!
