All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Great show , amazing time, kids had fun getting tattoos , drinks were great , food Can be a bit better other than that . Great time .

I took the Red Line and got off at the Honolulu Museum of Art, then rode from the museum to the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. It took some time, but I was able to stop at several places to take photos, and although the explanations were in English, it was nice to enjoy a leisurely sightseeing experience.

レッドラインに乗ってワイキキ美術館で降りてまたワイキキ美術館からワイキキショッピングプラザまで乗りました。時間はかかってしまいますが、
途中何ヶ所か止まって写真撮れたり、英語ですが説明をしてくれたり、のんびり観光できて良かったです。

It was the tour I was looking forward to the most, and the weather was great, making it the best day ever!! It felt like heaven, and I was so happy!! Snorkeling and swimming with the fish was a wonderful experience!

一番楽しみにしてたツアーで天気もよくて最高な一日でした！！天国って感じで幸せでした！！
シュノーケリングで魚とも泳げていい経験でした！

The parking lot was quite crowded, but it was understandable since it was the earliest optional tour in the morning. In the past, you could go freely, but now there are strict regulations regarding reservations and waiting times. However, it was very smooth since we could go through the tour company. After watching the orienteering video and stepping outside, we saw a rainbow. The guide during snorkeling was also very good, and we were able to see various fish. It would be quite difficult to go individually, so I highly recommend this tour.

駐車場は結構混んでいましたでも　朝が1番早いオプショナルツアーでしたが納得でした　昔はフリーで行けたのに今は予約やら順番待ちやら規制がとても厳しい　でもツアー会社の枠で行けるのでとてもスムーズでした　オリエンテーリングのビデオを見て外へ出たら虹が出ていました　シュノーケリング時ガイドもとても良く色々な魚を見ることが出来ました　個人で行こうとすると大変なのでとてもお勧めのツアーです

We booked this snorkel trip and was able to get all preliminary questions answered before trip. Once arrived the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodated all our needs. They assisted with two adults and toddler for snorkeling experience that was unforgettable and fun for everyone. We will be repeat customer if another trip to Hawaii.

On the day I participated, we were divided into a group of only Japanese participants and another group from other countries, so I was able to have a guide in Japanese. Even as a woman participating alone, I had a great time. Our driver and guide, Stefan, was fluent in Japanese and provided an enjoyable tour while also taking wonderful photos. Thank you, Sue.

The temperature, weather, and wind were all perfect that day, but since this is all dependent on nature, it's just luck. However, I've heard that there can be differences in weather stability depending on the season, so it would be good to research that before planning. Stargazing is not suitable when the moon is bright, so if you can choose your dates, I recommend planning around the moon phase.

We only observed a few stars through the telescope (just Venus on that day), so you might want to consider that as a bonus. However, there were plenty of explanations using a pointer, and I believe the beauty of the stars here is something you can't see anywhere else. It felt like a dream to be able to go up to 4,205 meters by car without experiencing altitude sickness. I'm glad I participated!

私が参加した日は、ちょうど日本人だけの車とその他の国の方の車に分かれたので、日本語でガイドをしていただけて、女性1人での参加でも、充分楽しめました。
ドライバー兼ガイドのステファンさんは、日本語ペラペラで楽しくガイドしてくださったり、素敵な写真を撮ってくださったりしました。
スーさん、ありがとうございました。

気温や天候や風も、この日はすべて良かったけれど、こればかりは自然相手なので運。ただ、季節によって、天気の安定、不安定に差があるそうなので、その辺は計画前に調べられると良いと思います。
星空観測は月が明るいと不向きなので、日程を選べる場合は、月齢を見て計画されると良いと思います。
望遠鏡で星を観るのは、ほんの一部（この日は金星のみ）でした。なので、これは おまけと考えた方がいいかも知れません。
でも、ポインターを使っての説明は沢山してくださるし、ここの星の美しさは他では見られないものだと思います。
こんな風に高山病になることなく、車で4205メートルまで行けることが夢のようでした。
参加して良かったです！

It was great to have a horseback riding experience in the vast nature. The guide also taught us a lot about Hawaii, and it was fun!

Wearing clothes that can get dirty and sun protection are essential.

広大な自然の中で、乗馬経験ができてすごくよかったです。
ガイドの方も色々ハワイについて教えてくれて、楽しかった！

汚れてもいい服装+日焼け対策は必須

They accompanied us throughout, so even as beginners, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The horses were calm, smart, and wonderful! They even took commemorative photos for us, making it a great memory of Hawaii.

前後についてくれるので、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。馬たちが大人しくて賢くて素晴らしいです！記念撮影もしてくれて、ハワイの良い思い出になりました。

○Positive Points
- The view was absolutely stunning! I often saw paragliders from the beach, and I thought the starting point was nearby, but it was actually further out than I expected. There were 5-6 groups on the same small boat, and it felt great to be out in the wind and waves!
- It was a windy day, so we started an hour later than our reservation. They checked if it was okay to leave late and confirmed that we didn't have a dinner reservation, which allowed for the time change!
- There are many points to note below, but it was so much fun! I felt like a bird and would love to go again, so if you're interested, definitely give it a try!

●Points to Note
- Everything is basically in English, so be prepared for that... (For those taking photos, there were some people who spoke simple Japanese on the boat.)
- I experienced more seasickness than I expected, and the wind during paragliding can make it worse, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take medication just in case. I felt a bit nauseous while paragliding...
- Be careful about the meeting place! There's a large parking lot between the sea and the pool next to the hotel. The reception is in a small hut along the seaside within that parking lot, but it was hard to find... (I'll upload a photo of the reception hut, so please take a look.)
- If you have a GoPro or something similar, it might be good to bring it. Taking photos with a smartphone can be risky if you drop it, and it’s hard to take it out of your pocket to shoot without feeling nervous.

○良かった点
・とにかく絶景！ビーチからよくパラセイリングをしているのを見えていたので、近場かと思ったら、思ったより沖でのスタート。同じ船に5〜6組乗っていて、小型船ですので、風や波を受けとても気持ち良かったです！
・風の強い日で、予約より1時間遅い時間でのスタートとなりました。その中で遅れて出発でもOKか、ディナーの予約はしてないか確認してくれての時間変更になりました！
・下記注意点たくさんありますが、、とっても楽しかったです！鳥になったようなまた行きたいので、興味ある方はぜひ！


●注意点
・基本全て英語なのでちょっと覚悟が必要・・・（写真撮影の方、船の中でのコミュニケーションは簡単な日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃいました）
・思った以上に船酔い、パラセーリングでも風で煽られるので、酔い止めが気になる方は迷ったら飲んだ方が正解です。ちょっとパラセイリングの上空で気持ち悪くなりました・・・
・集合場所は要注意！海とホテル横のプールと挟まれたところに大きな駐車場があります。その駐車場の中、海沿いの小さな小屋が受付ですが、全く分からず・・・（受付の小屋は写真アップしておきますので、ご覧ください。）
・Go Proとかあれば持っていくと良いかもしれません。スマホ撮影は落としたら・・・とか勇気がないとポケットから出して撮影は考えずらいです。。

Had an amazing time at Kualoa! The ATV experience was awesome, the crew was amazing, very informative & humorous, would definitely recommend! Side note: it does get VERY dusty so dont wear white or schedule anything after this. We had to go back to our hotel to shower and get a change of clothes. Besides that, 10/10!

The weather was nice, and the waves by the shore weren't too bad, but once we headed out to sea, raised the mast, and started sailing, the waves began to rise, and the thrilling experience of getting splashed was so much fun. We got quite wet, but by the time we returned to shore, we were completely dry. My husband and I talked about how if the price were a bit lower (it felt very much like Hawaii), we would be happy to go every time.

天気も良く岸辺の波は大したことはなかったのですが、沖合に出てマストを上げて航行が始まったころから何が高くなり始めてバッサーンと波を被りながらのヨット体験はとってもスリリングで楽しかったです。
結構濡れましたが岸に戻るころにはすっかり乾いていました。
もう少しお値段が安かったら（とてもHawaiiらしくて）毎回乗ってもいいねと主人と話しています。

My family had so much fun turtle snorkeling. My son got scared going in the middle of the ocean but the staff had him on his board and took him around to see the turtles and taught him so many fun facts. We had a special treat of having dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of snorkeling with turtles.

On the day of the visit, there was a sandbar, so we could walk. However, because the tide was low, the paddle boat was too shallow and got stuck, making it difficult to ride. Snorkeling was great as we were able to see two turtles. It was allowed to bring in beer, so we brought two bottles and chilled them. It seemed that people from Taiwan brought a case of six. Enjoying beer while snacking was the best!

当日はサンドバーが出ていて歩けました　逆に潮が引いていたためパドルボートが浅すぎて引っかかって上手く乗れなかった　シュノーケリングは亀が2匹も見れて良かったです　ビール持ち込みOKとなっていたので2本持っていって冷やしていただきました　台湾からの人は6本ケースで持ってきていたようです　スナックを食べながらのビール最高でした

This is my second time on the Kamataran. I repeated it because I had a great experience four years ago, and it was still amazing.

Last time, I encountered a pod of dolphins, which was a wonderful memory. This time, encountering sea turtles was the highlight!

今回2回目のカマタラン号
4年前に乗ったカマタラン号が良くてリピートしましたがやっぱり最高でした。

前回はイルカの群れと遭遇していい思い出。
今回は海亀と遭遇最高でした。

The tour was wonderful , the crew engaging, helpful, humorous, and knowledgeable , the equipment was fine, thoughtful snacks/drinks provided, and of course then there were the rays.it was a dreamlike experience.

My wife can't swim, but the staff member Jenny warmly supported us until the end. Mahalo! I want to go to the sandbar again!

妻が泳げないのに、スタッフのジェニーがあたたかく最後まで、サポートしてくれました。マハロ！
また、サンドバーに行きたい！

We had super time snorkeling at Huanama Bay.
Dan is excellent trainer, very helpful and supportive. He made sure we had a great time. Took lot of pictures and shared with us. This will be life time memories.
I will advise who wants to do snorkeling do it with Dan. Blue Divers

Fantastico giro in barca, lo consigliamo senza alcun dubbio! Lo staff gentilissimo e informato, anche con noi che, parlando poco l’inglese, avevamo meno mezzi per socializzare con gli altri partecipanti

This ATV experience was unlike any I’ve had before. It’s located on a farm, so you get to see the farm animals, feed them, and pet them, which is pretty cool. You can enjoy the farm life before or after you ride. I HIGHLY recommend using their goggles. Sunglasses do diddly squat when you’re out there riding; it gets very dusty. You ride to a track, do many laps on the track, and then ride to scenic areas where they will take pictures of you. The track got boring after a while; I recommend that they utilize more space or a different area for ATV rides to change it up. They took a video of us on the track, and wanted $10 for one minute-long video that included my family and people I didn’t know that were in and out of the frame in a flash. Needless to say, we did not buy the video. Despite this, they were kind-hearted and led us to see the beautiful scenery where we could get the best pictures. I enjoyed the experience!

The show was very entertaining and food was amazing! I would have liked the host to speak a little louder. The tables at the back could barely hear him. Otherwise, great experience.

Diving from the boat was the best experience for swimming. After that, a jacket is essential because it gets cold. The sunset was also very beautiful.

船からのダイブでスイミングは最高の経験。
その後、寒いので上着は必須です。
サンセットもとっても綺麗でした。

Most of the participants were from overseas, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, and they kindly taught us various things. I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It's essential to change clothes as your body gets cold.

参加者は海外の方がほとんどでしたが、日本語を日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、色々親切に教えて頂きました。
安心して楽しめました。体が冷えるので着替えはマストです。

The staff at the e-bike rental only spoke English, but they were very considerate, which I appreciated. I am glad that I was able to ride through the magnificent Kualoa Valley on an e-bike. I am also grateful to the staff. Thank you very much.

eバイクのスタッフさんは英語しか話せない方でしたが大変気を遣って頂き恐縮でした。あの雄大なクアロア渓谷をeバイクで駆け抜ける事が出来た事を嬉しく思います。スタッフさんにも感謝です。ありがとうございました。

ジャングルツアーは、木の実を食べたり登山をしたり
90分間で沢山の体験をして物凄く楽しめました。
悪路をトラックで走行するのはスリルがありました。
スタッフもナイスな人でとても楽しめました。

MUST DO-Our family comes to Hawaii every summer and this is by far the most magical experience we've ever had on an excursion!!! There were four manta rays swimming around us-truly awe inspiring! Our kids are 16, 14, and 10...ALL LOVED IT and said it was the highlight of our trip! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is an experience you don't want to miss !
Crew and captain are definitely top tier !

After a 44 year absence my husband and I returned to the Wailua River cruise with our oldest granddaughter. Much had changed and much was still the same. The boats are bigger and covered. The music was fun and enjoyable. The cave is less accessible than it was way back then but that was due to natural consequences and the family has worked hard to create a lovely walk and viewing area. We appreciated the wonderful family involved in all aspects of the trip and learned more about the area. It was a wonderful lead into our night at the Smith Family Luau which we also enjoyed and recommend!

I had a wonderful time in the beautiful weather of Hawaii Island!
We first went offshore to find dolphins, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any. However, it felt great to speed along in the rubber boat!
The snorkeling was also beautiful. I think there might be more variety of fish in places like Kerama in Okinawa. The water clarity was about 25 meters!
After snorkeling for about an hour, we returned while getting explanations about the lava caves along the coastline.

ハワイ島の最高の天気の中、素敵な時間を過ごせました！
最初にイルカを見つけに沖合に出ましたが、残念ながら会えませんでしたでもゴムボートでスピード出して進むのでとても気持ち良かったです！
シュノーケルも綺麗でした。沖縄のケラマとかの方が魚の種類は多いかな？透明度は25mくらいあったと思います！
小1時間シュノーケルした後に戻りながら海岸線の溶岩洞窟の説明などもしてくれました。

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo
