All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I participated in the morning session of a family trip (with elementary and middle school students). It was almost high tide, but at about 1 meter, it was safe for elementary school students to play.

What stood out the most was the cheerful and fun attitude of both the shuttle driver and the guide on the boat. They were quite fluent in Japanese (or rather, most of them were Japanese), so I highly recommend this tour compared to others.

Here are some points summarized by category for your reference!

【Shuttle】The outbound trip took about 45 minutes, and the return trip took about 60 minutes. We were picked up around 9:00 at the bus stop near Trump, making it easy to participate. The same driver took us both ways, and during the return trip, he engaged us with comments about our experiences. (He also provided cheerful guidance in English and broken Japanese along the way.) There was a service for those who wanted to stop at a famous malasada shop (Leonard's) on the way back.

【Boat Transfer】It takes about 10 minutes to arrive, and the waves are calm, so there’s hardly any worry about seasickness. We spotted several sea turtles on the way out (although we could see them multiple times at the sandbar).

【Snorkeling】Everyone wears life jackets and sanitized snorkels, and there were also zayaks (a type of board with a viewing window?) available for children. For adults who cannot swim, one of the guides provides support nearby. There were many fish, but everyone was particularly excited about the sea turtles.

【Activities】After snorkeling, you can enjoy SUP, zayaks, floaties, and photo opportunities at the sandbar. There was about one SUP per group, so everyone had fun (taking turns as a family).

【On the Boat】The boat has a restroom and is quite clean. The minimal rocking of the boat also left a good impression.

【Food and Drink】There are unlimited servings of spam musubi, apples, snacks, nut bars, and juices (only one spam musubi per person). So, you can go without bringing anything.

【Caution】Jellyfish (Portuguese man o' war) were present, and a few people got stung (though everyone had minor injuries). I think long-sleeved rash guards are essential.

家族旅行（小学生＋中学生）で午前の部に参加しました。
ほぼ満潮のタイミングでしたが、1m程度なので小学生でも安全に遊べました。

何より素晴らしいのは送迎の運転手、船上のガイドとも明るく楽しい気持ちになりました。日本語もかなり通じやすい（というかほぼ日本人の方も）ので、他のツアーに比べて非常にオススメできます。

以下に観点別のポイントをまとめたのでご参考までに！

【送迎】往路は45分ほど、帰路は60分ほどでの到着でした。トランプ近くのバス停に9:00頃ピックアップだったので無理なく参加できました。また行と帰りは同じ運転手で帰宅時には感想などの声掛けもしてくれます。（道中、英語と片言の日本語で陽気にガイドもしてくれます）。
希望者はマラサダの有名店（レナーズ）に帰路で下車するサービスもありました。

【船移動】10分程度で着く上に波も穏やかなので船酔いの心配は殆どありません。往路ではウミガメを何匹か見つけました（サンドバーで何度も見れますが）

【シュノーケル】全員がライフジャケット、シュノーケル（消毒済み）着用しますが、小児はzayak（除き窓付のビート版？）の貸し出しもありました。大人で泳げない人はガイドの1名が近くでサポートもしてくれます。魚も多いですがやはりウミガメは皆さんテンションがあがっていました。

【アクティビティ】シュノーケル後はサンドバーでSUPやZAYAK、浮き輪、写真撮影などを楽しめます。SUPも1組1台程度はあるので皆さん楽しめてました（家族で交代しながら）

【船上】トイレ付で船自体も結構キレイです。揺れが少ない点も好印象。

【飲食】スパムにぎり、りんご、スナック菓子、ナッツバー、ジュース類が食べ放題です（スパム握りだけ1人1つ）。よって手ぶらで問題なし。

【注意点】くらげ（カツオノエボシ）が流れてくるので、刺されている人が数人いました。（ただし皆さん軽傷）長袖のラッシュガードなどは必須と思います。

I participated with my daughter (150m).

Due to weight restrictions, two participants are required (it seems that if you're over 80kg, you can participate alone), so we joined as a family of two. The meeting point was at the boat harbor, just a few minutes' walk from the Hilton Lagoon, which made it convenient without any hassle or loss of time, allowing us to fill our free time easily.

We were worried about dropping our phones, so we participated with a waterproof camera attached to a strap, but there were others in a different group who were taking selfies with a selfie stick (of course, at their own risk...).

The 150m height is truly impressive, with all the buildings visible below and a fantastic view of the surroundings. Also, if you wish (?), it seems they can provide some bouncing near the water's surface.

Although not much Japanese is spoken, I think you can manage since there are other groups around.

母娘で参加しました（150m）

体重の関係で2名の参加が必須（80kg以上なら単独も可能みたいですが）という事で家族2名で参加しました。待ち合わせ場所はヒルトンのラグーンから徒歩数分のボートハーバーで移動の負担やロスがない点がよく、空き時間を埋めやすかったです。

自分たちは携帯は落下させそうで怖かったので防水カメラにストラップ付けて参加しましたが、別の組では自撮り棒で頑張って撮影されてる方もいました（もちろん自己責任…）

150mというのは本当に高く建物は全て眼下に見え、周囲が一望できる点が素晴らしいです。また希望すれば（？）、水面付近での乱高下などもして貰えるようです。

あまり日本語は通じませんが別の組も居るので勝手は分かるかと思います。

The tour guide (a Hawaiian teenage girl, very energetic) is super awesome and nice, the safety tour guides also works super hard. It's the tour itself that I gave this rating. The tube would keep spinning and spinning which made me dizzy and created minor headache. I really hope that there is a way to force the tube to alway look forward. Some sort of a "1-person" short floaty canoe or kayak would have made this tour much more enjoyable. Thanks!

The sea was cold enough that a wetsuit was necessary! However, the captain was a funny person and it was enjoyable. Next time, I want to go into the sea on a warm day.

海は寒くてウェットスーツが必要な位でした！しかし！キャプテンが面白い人で楽しかったです。こんどは暖かい日に海にはいりたいです。

I had high expectations, but it started to rain and the show ended inside. The food was delicious, so I wish I could have seen a bit more until the end.

かなり期待していたのですが、雨が降ってきて中でShowが終わってしまいました。食事は美味しかったので、もう少し最後までみたかったです。

what a great luau, especially when staying on resort nice and easy to wrap the night

the kids lvoed to get to see the fish from the portholes! great day underwater

Had the most amazing time! The staff are absolutely wonderful!!!

Breathtaking views, I wish I could sleep under this view nightly, great vent and wont forget!

Our photos were nothing short of amazing. Thank you to the Epic team for this epic tour!!!!

Loved this event and so did my daughters- the hula dancing is simply gorgeous and unforgettable.

My family loved this! Book early because we would not have wanted to miss this the most.

Great views of the Maui mountains from the sea, a delicious dinner as well. It was one of our favorite evening on the honeymoon.

Amazing experience! Lots of the island wrapped up in a day you can't go wrong.

did get to see a lot of fish through the port holes, awesome to be under the oceans surface

I think it's better to take excessive measures against seasickness. Even if the waves are calm when departing, once you head out to sea, the weather doesn't matter and the waves can be high, making you feel sick even in the cage.

I couldn't understand anything from the English guide, but it was manageable.

There are a huge number of sharks, and they don't attack, making the experience wonderful.

とにかく船酔い対策は過剰なくらいした方がいいと思います。
出航する時は波が穏やかでも沖に出れば天候など関係なく波が高く、檻に入っても酔います。

英語ガイドで何も理解はできませんでしたがなんとかなります。

サメはすごい量いて、襲ってくることもなく体験としては素晴らしいです。

Such a great experience! We had the best and want to return again soon.

This was a great experience for my family I clouding kids as young as 8. Bryce, Joe, Diego, and Tamae were so kind to the guests and very knowledgeable about the manta rays. We got a bonus of seeing a dolphin on our way to the snorkel site as well as a beautiful sunset. Mahalo!

We took the tour yesterday. It was a great experience which I can absolutely recommend. Worth mentioning is in particular the star gazing with the expert explanations of our guide.

We loved the experience. Such soulful music on the boat followed by snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking. And then chilling on the floating couch. Loved it all.

More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.

During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.

参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。

ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。

I always appreciate Beltora's help. Just before starting the zip line, it started to rain, and I almost lost heart, but I enjoyed it immensely without worrying about the rain. The staff were very kind, and I was able to have a great time!

いつもベルトラさんにはお世話になっております。ジップラインはスタートする直前に雨が降り出し、心が折れそうになりましたが、雨など気にする事無く、めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。スタッフさんもとても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました＼(^o^)／

Snorkeling was amazing! A honu was right in front of me! It was an early morning, but I’m glad I was able to make the most of the day.

シュノーケリングは最高でした！
ホヌが目の前に！
朝は早かったけど一日が有効に過ごせて良かったと思います。

Easy booking and easy check in. Recommand to book early guys, do not wait to purchase at the gate, will regret.

I participated with my daughter. Everything was in English except for the reception. On the boat, they seemed to think we didn't understand English, so we were a bit neglected, which was a little disappointing. The explanations were somewhat lacking, but we could understand by watching others, so I wasn't too worried. The parasailing was fun with great views. Since we go out to sea on the boat for parasailing, I recommend taking medication if you are prone to motion sickness.

娘と2人で参加しました。
受付以外は全て英語でした。
ボートでは私たちが英語が分からないと思い、ぽぽ放ったらかし状態だったため、少し残念でした。
説明なども雑でしたが、他の方のを見ていて分かりますので、心配はありませんでした。
パラセーリングは、景色も良く、楽しかったです。
パラセーリングへは、ボートで沖の方まで行くので、酔いやすい方は薬を飲むことをオススメします。

Great place for kidss
Very interactive
Had a special feel to it.
Enjoyed the knowledge I got from each pavilion

It was just amazing.
The weather wasn't great, but I still had fun.
When we took off, it felt exhilarating, and as we gained altitude, I could see the ocean, Diamond Head, the beach, and the hotels, which was really nice.
I took the bus round trip from Sheraton Waikiki, so I told the captain that there was no need for a Japan trip.
I have over 100 photos and received them as data.

もう、最高でした。
天気がイマイチでしたが楽しめました。
飛び立つ時がウォーという感じでしたが、どんどん高度が上がると海、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチ、ホテルと見えて気持ちよかった。
シュラトンワイキキからバスで往復したので、海へのジャポンはキャプテンになしと伝えました。
写真は100枚以上ありデータでもらいました。

What a wonderful way to spend the day!
The entire staff was AMAZING - they all worked together like a well oiled machine! Very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.
Snorkeling was so much fun!
Good food, there was something for everyone!
Captain Andrew’s jokes WERE funny!
Perfect for all levels, lifeguards in water and on the boat making sure everyone was safe.
Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Thank you for a spectacular experience!!!

I am just shy of being in my late fifties, but this time, I participated in zip lining alone for the first time. There were nine participants, and the other eight were all foreigners. However, I was able to enjoy myself with the other foreign participants.

After each zip line, everyone cheered and clapped for each other. There were three instructors, and even though I don't understand English, they spoke to me in simple English before I took off to help me relax. I didn't quite understand the explanations during the activity, but the atmosphere was enjoyable enough.

There were also about three spots along the way to hydrate. I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii while moving along mountain paths and crossing suspension bridges. The three instructors were very dedicated to making sure the guests had a good time.

I think I would enjoy it even more if I could understand English better. I would like to challenge myself again!

アラ還一歩手前の私ですが、今回、ひとりでの
初ZIP LINE参加でした。9人の参加でしたが、他の8人は、皆外国の方でした。ですが、他の外国人の方と一緒に楽しむ事ができました。
1本終わるごとに皆が拍手で応援してくれたり、
インストラクターさんが3人付いてくれましたが、
英語がわからない私にも、飛ぶ前に
簡単な英語で、話しかけてリラックスさせてくれたりと途中の説明は、イマイチわからなかったけれど、雰囲気で十分楽しめました。
途中3箇所くらいに水分補給するところもあります。吊り橋を渡ったりと山道を移動したりと
ハワイの大自然満喫できました。
インストラクターの3人もゲストを一生懸命、
楽しませてようという姿勢が良かったです。
英語が理解できるともっと楽しめると思いました。
また、チャレンジしたいです♪

If you're looking for an experience where you are cared for, entertained, and learn more about this island, look no further. It was a day full of sight-seeing, history, and stimulation. This company has put time into thinking of everything from bathroom breaks, food, and health/safety. As one of the oldest tour companies on the island, there's perks they get that others do not.

Completely worth every penny to make the memories of this day!
