All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The explanation is in English only, but the staff guided us appropriately, so even as beginners, we were able to enjoy horseback riding alone in the great outdoors for two hours, and it was truly amazing and fun. The weather was also perfect, so we were able to take a lot of wonderful photos.

説明は英語のみですが、スタッフの方が適切に誘導してくださるので初心者でも2時間も大自然の中をひとりで乗馬を楽しむことができて本当に最高に楽しかったです。お天気も最高に良かったので素敵な写真が沢山撮れました。

The sunset and starry sky from the summit were breathtaking and truly moving. I was able to understand the explanations about the stars well since they were provided in Japanese.

I was a bit worried about the altitude and altitude sickness, but I was comfortably taken care of with a car ride and was lent warm clothing, so I was able to enjoy my time there. Thank you very much!

山頂からの夕陽と、星空は絶景で感動しました。日本語でも対応してもらえたので星の説明などもよく理解できました。

標高が高く高山病など不安でしたが、車で送迎していただき、防寒具なども貸してもらえたので快適に過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

The guidance from the polite tour guide was excellent! We were also able to take commemorative photos with the starry sky, and we received warm cocoa as well!

丁寧なガイドさんの案内がとても良かったです！
星空との記念撮影もしてもらえましたし、温かいココアも貰えました！

There were sudden places and stairs, and I was worried if my husband, who is well-built, would be able to climb, but we were able to reach the summit in about 40 minutes. I definitely want you to experience the wonderful view. The driver was cheerful and it was fun. I made a reservation for 8:20, but the day before, I was contacted and asked to change the meeting time to 7:20.

急な場所や階段もあり、体格の良い夫は登れるか心配でしたが40分ほどで頂上まで行く事ができました。ぜひとも素晴らしい景色を体験して欲しいです。ドライバーさんが陽気で楽しかったです。8:20で予約しましたが前日になり7:20集合にして欲しいと連絡がありました。

I was wondering what the fusion of Hawaiian and rock would be like, but I enjoyed it more than I expected. The stage was large and impressive. I was seated towards the back, but I could see everything well, which was great.

ハワイアンとロックの融合、どんな感じかなと思っていましたが、予想以上に楽しめました。ステージも大きく、立派でした。後ろの方の席でしたが、全体がよく見えて良かったです。

My first skydiving experience was amazing, as I got to enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky!

I felt no fear at all and was able to fly while being healed by the beautiful sea, sky, and islands of Hawaii, along with the pleasant breeze. There were many Japanese participants, and since we supported each other with any uncertainties, I didn't have to worry about the language barrier.

On the day of the jump, I had the option to choose a higher altitude for the dive when making the payment. After jumping, we descended slowly with the parachute, giving us more floating time than I had imagined, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy the scenery. However, jumping from a higher altitude seems like it would provide an even more exhilarating experience!

I definitely want to try skydiving again!

人生初のスカイダイビング、ハワイの絶景を空から満喫できて最高でした！

恐怖感は一切なく、美しい海と空とハワイの島、心地良い風に癒されながら飛ぶことができました。
日本人の参加者が多く、わからない部分は参加者同士でサポートしてもらいながら準備できたので言語の心配はありませんでした。

当日支払い時にもオプションで飛ぶ高度を上げるか選べました。
飛んでからゆっくりパラシュートで降りていくので、浮遊時間は想像以上よりは長く、じっくり景色を楽しむ事ができますが、高い方がより爽快感が味わえそうです！

ぜひまたスカイダイビングに挑戦したいです！

When you think of Kauai, you think of the Na Pali Coast. The Na Pali Coast is a breathtaking view that can only be seen by boat, air, or through strenuous trekking. I went trekking, but I wanted to see the whole thing from a boat or by air, so I did some research and ultimately decided that seeing it from above would be best.

Helicopter tours were about twice the price, and boat tours were over 30,000 yen, while this one was in the 20,000 yen range, so I chose this option. Honestly, I felt that 20,000 yen was a great deal for such an amazing experience! I made the right choice!

The stunning views were overwhelming. I was worried about turbulence, but it felt just like being on a regular airplane, and I wasn't scared at all (the pilot was very skilled). Although I'm not fluent in English, the pilot was considerate and chatted with us, guiding us by saying things like, "We're right above here," which made the experience very enjoyable.

We were told to leave our bags in the car, so we weighed ourselves with just our cameras and essentials. There were five of us in total. The other three were all larger individuals, weighing around 70 to 100 kg, and it seemed like the heavier people got the front seats. There were three single seats in a row, and the back had two connected seats, which is where we sat.

In the end, I think the size of the windows and the wide view we had, being away from the wings and wheels, gave us the best angles for photos.

I heard that the mountains look beautiful in the afternoon when the sun is up, so I booked a 2:00 PM flight. The Waimea side was a bit cloudy, but it was absolutely stunning! It was great to see the places I had walked a few days earlier, like the Kalalau Trail and the Kilauea Lighthouse, from above again. I recommend doing this activity later in your trip.

I stayed in Kauai for six days, but the memories from this activity left the strongest impression on me, and I'm really glad I did it. Honestly, if you do this, you might feel satisfied enough not to do anything else. It was truly amazing! I highly recommend it!

カウアイ島といえばナパリ―コースト。ナパリ―コーストは船か飛行か過酷トレッキングでしか見ることができない絶景。トレッキングには行ったけれど、船か飛行で全体を観たいと思い色々調べていて、やっぱり上空からが良さそうだなと思い飛行を選択。
ヘリだと倍ぐらいの料金だったし、船だと3万円以上でこちらは2万円台だったのでこちらにしました。正直2万円台じゃ安いと思うぐらい最高な体験でした！こっちで大正解！

もう感動の絶景の嵐でした。揺れるかなと心配でしたが、普通の飛行機に乗ってるようなレベルでまったく怖くなかったです。（パイロットの運転がうまかった）
英語が堪能ではありませんが、パイロットが気遣って話しかけてくれたり、今ここの上空ですよ～とガイドしてくれたりしてすごく楽しめました。

カメラ以外の荷物は車に置いてね、ということで荷物は車に置いてカメラなど持って行くものを持った状態で体重測定。私の時は全部で５人。私達以外の3人はみんな大きい人で70～100kgぐらいありそうでしたが、体重が重い人ほど前の席という感じでした…１人席が３列あって後ろの席が2席繋がってる感じで私たちはそこでした。
でも結果的に窓の大きさと見える範囲の広さ、翼や車輪から離れているので撮れる画角は一番良かったのではないかと思います。

ナパリ―コーストは太陽が昇っている午後の方が山々の筋が綺麗に見れると聞いて14:00のフライトを予約しました。ワイメア側は少し曇っていたけれどとにかく絶景でした！数日前に歩いたカララウトレイルの場所やキラウエア灯台など、先に行った場所をもう一度上空から見れたのでよかった。旅行後半に行くのをおすすめします。
カウアイ島には6日間滞在しましたが、このアクティビティの思い出の印象が最も強く、本当にやってよかったです。なんならこれさえ押さえれば他いかなくてもいいぐらい満足できます。本当に最高でした！超おすすめします！

The live performance was a genuine concert with live music throughout. It featured songs that everyone knows, and my parents, who are over 70, were very happy. The impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were not just comedic imitations; they were truly authentic, which was surprising.

ライブは終始、生演奏付きで本格的なライブです。誰しも知っている曲ばかりで、70歳過ぎの両親もとても喜んでいました。エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんも、コメディなものまねではなく、本格派でびっくりしました。

I was moved by the breathtaking scenery beyond my imagination!! The person who picked me up and the instructor who took care of me were both cool and had wonderful smiles, which was a treat for the eyes ^ ^ I want to fly again◎ Thank you very much!

想像以上の絶景に感動します！！
送迎してくれた方も
担当してくれたインストラクターの方も
かっこよくて笑顔が素敵で
目の保養になりました^ ^
また飛びたいです◎
ありがとうございました！

This kayak/hike was so fun. It took 4 hours and the experience was worth the trip

yo this waikiki parasailing sesh was literally the highlight of my whole hawaii trip fr fr. we got lifted like 800ft up (they have diff heights but we went with the lowest) and the views??? insane. turquoise water everywhere, diamond head in the background, honolulu skyline lookin baller af. harnesses felt secure, theygave clear instructions. im scared of heights but it was fine. 10/10 would do again

We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to experience the refreshing North Shore. Despite the sudden change in plans, the driver who guided us was very accommodating. I forgot to ask for their name, but thank you very much! 🙇

良い天気に恵まれて爽やかなノースショアを体感できました
急な予定変更にも関わらず案内していただいたドライバーさんは快く応じていただきました
お名前をお伺いするの忘れてましたが、ありがとうございました🙇

Crew was so nice & helpful. Very disappointed that we didn’t even get one bite. They said they usually have live bait to try also but didn’t bring any that day. I know that no one can control the fish but I wish they would have had an alternative to try. It was a beautiful ride on the boat & very comfortable shaded area. I would try them again.

Wonderful female captain Hosanna and her crew with tons of experience and warm personalities. We went in November 2025- so many turtles and sealife, great play equipment and knowledgeable crew willing to help ensure our baby girl had a great time, the transportation from Waikiki to the boat launch was clutch! So great all around! And spam masubi and snacks on the boat ride was icing on the cake! Highly recommend 10 out of 10!!

I had an e-bike experience at Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. To put it simply, I highly recommend it!

The difficulty level is very easy, so anyone who can ride a regular bike will have no problem enjoying it. It's essential to wear shoes that cover your toes (no open-toed sandals), and since some parts of the path can be a bit wild, I think wearing long pants is a safer choice.

There is an initial operation explanation, but it's all in English. However, the content is very simple, and if you understand basic English, you'll be able to grasp it easily. What impressed me even more was the hospitality of the guide who accompanied us. They were incredibly kind and passionately took photos at every scenic spot (laughs). Plus, the photos turned out surprisingly well!

Exploring the vast and beautiful Kualoa Ranch while feeling the wind on an e-bike was an amazing experience. I will never forget the exhilaration of riding downhill.

For anyone wanting to enjoy nature in Hawaii, I wholeheartedly recommend this activity!

ハワイのクアロア・ランチでeバイク体験をしてきました。
結論から言うと、めちゃくちゃおすすめです！

難易度はとてもやさしくて、普段から普通の自転車に乗れる人なら誰でも問題なく楽しめるレベル。
足元はつま先が覆われた靴（穴あきサンダルはNG）必須で、道が少しワイルドなところもあるので長ズボンの方が安心だと思います。

最初に操作説明がありますが、すべて英語。ただし内容はとてもシンプルで、簡単な英語が分かれば十分理解できます。
それ以上に印象的だったのが、一緒に回ってくれるガイドさんのホスピタリティ。本当に親切で、絶景スポットごとに情熱的に写真を撮ってくれます（笑）。しかも写真がびっくりするくらい上手！

広大で美しいクアロア・ランチを、eバイクで風を感じながら巡れるのは最高の体験でした。
特に下り坂を走るときの爽快感は忘れられません。

ハワイで自然を満喫したい人には、心からおすすめしたいアクティビティです！

A cost-effective show combining an Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson impersonator with a Hawaiian hula show. We only attended the show, but we had great seats. It was not crowded. The Elvis segment was long and I thought it might get boring, but at the end, there was a fire dance that surprised me‼️ No curtain‼️ They were incredibly skilled. By the end, I was completely captivated. We even got to take pictures with the performers on our last night in Honolulu, making it a memorable experience.

エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくり？さんのショーとハワイのフラショーの組み合わせのコスパの良いショー。私達はショーのみでしたが十分良い席でした。空いてます。エルビスが長くて飽きそうでしたが、最後にファイアーダンスが出てきてびっくり‼️カーテンなし‼️凄腕です。終わる頃には引き込まれていました。帰りに出演者と写真も撮れてホノルル最後の夜を華やかなものにしてくれました。

I recommend a dinner show for your first day in Hawaii. If you have to choose, I suggest the Diamond show. You can enjoy it from the front row, and the food was very delicious. Also, the Hawaiian-style experience before dinner was exciting.

ハワイ1日目にお薦めのディナーショーです。
選ぶならダイヤモンドをお勧めします。最前列で楽しめ、ご飯もとても美味しかった。
そして、ディナー前のハワイアンらしい体験もワクワクしました。

My daughter suggested that we go horseback riding for the first time in a while, and it had been about seven years since I last rode. With my sixtieth birthday a few years behind me, I was worried if I could handle two hours of riding. However, my daughter reassured me with a casual "You'll be fine" and I decided to give it my all. I started incorporating exercise into my routine a few months ago to prepare.

In the end, I'm really glad I did it! This was my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but it felt like the course was different from the last time. I might be mistaken, though, since Kualoa is so vast.

The horse I rode was very smart. My son's horse, on the other hand, kept trying to eat grass and didn't want to move, which seemed challenging for him. But it seems like he enjoyed that too.

Our family of four created some wonderful memories together. Thank you very much!

娘に　久しぶりに乗馬したいと提案があり、７年ぶり？で　還暦も　早数年前　２時間大丈夫かな？と　不安が渦巻く中、娘からは　大丈夫さ👌と　気楽な答えがあり、とにかく　頑張る💪と　数ヶ月前から　運動取り入れて　準備しました。
結果、やって良かったです⤴️
ハワイでの乗馬は　3回目ですが、コースも　前回とは　違う気がしました。記憶違いかも知れませんが…
クアロア広いからね
私の乗った馬は　賢かったです。息子のは、スグ草食べたり　動いてくれなかったり、大変そうでした。でも　それもまた、楽しかったみたいです。
家族４人　いい思い出が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

Ride was pleasant! Saw whales and dolphins on our ferry over and back!

We enjoyed our experience very much! Easy day and easy walk to the grotto.

The sunset viewed from the sacred summit of Mauna Kea was the best, and the starry sky was truly beautiful and moving. The summit was much colder than I expected, so I recommend going dressed warmly. The hot cocoa enjoyed at the top of the mountain was also fantastic! I took some great photos, which became wonderful memories. Thank you to our guide, Shoya.

神聖なマウナケアの山頂から見る最高の夕焼け、そして満点の星空、どちらも本当に美しく感動しました。山頂は思ったより数倍寒く、暖かい格好で行くのをお勧めします。山の上で飲むホットココアも最高でした！　写真も撮っていただきとても素敵な思い出になりました。ガイドのShoyaさん、ありがとうございました。

Girls trip made even better by going on the snorkeling trip! The staff is amazing and definitely recommend everyone to go!!

What an amazing experience! It was so fun trying so many different Hawaiian foods and service was excellent. We enjoyed getting to know others at our table and sharing the meal with them. We were glad we choose the table rather than the sit on the floor option. Many of the bigger guys sitting at the low tables struggled and needed to stand frequently to stretch their legs. The show was phenomenal! What a great thing to do to get a feel for Hawaiian history in dance form. So glad we did this!

The sunset and starry sky were breathtaking, and I was truly moved. I was a bit worried about the cold and altitude sickness, but I had such a wonderful time that it didn't bother me at all. I wanted to capture the stunning scenery in photos, so I brought a camera and tripod, even though I'm a complete beginner. With the support of the guide, I was able to take many beautiful pictures.

サンセットも星空も絶景で感動しました。寒さや高山病を少し心配していましたが、気にならないくらい素敵な時間を過ごせました。
絶景を写真におさめたいと思い、超初心者ながらカメラと三脚を持参しましたが、ガイドさんのサポートもあり素敵な写真を沢山撮れました。

The friendly and knowledgeable driver, who seemed to be an experienced person from Dole, drove the trolley through the vast pineapple plantation while providing detailed explanations to the participants, allowing us to enjoy the pineapple fields with peace of mind. The farm was incredibly expansive, unimaginable in Japan (about 180 Tokyo Domes?), and I learned that the workers spend all day bending over to plant 5,000 pineapple tops, realizing the tremendous effort that goes into producing such delicious fruit. At the shop, we were able to taste freshly harvested pineapples and received a whole pineapple as a souvenir, which added to our enjoyment after returning to the hotel. After the farm tour, we had lunch at a popular garlic shrimp restaurant in the center of Haleiwa, and in the afternoon, we visited the turtle rock for power sports and a soap factory that was featured on Japanese television. On the way back, the driver listened to the participants' wishes and took us to the highest parking lot on Tantalus Hill, where we enjoyed a panoramic view of Oahu. The tour was filled with new discoveries, making for a memorable day.

親切で情報知識が豊富な運転手さんはDoleの会社の人のように手慣れた感じで広大なパイナップル農園を見学用のトロリーを運転しながら参加者に細かく説明してくれるので安心してパイナップル畑を楽しむことができました。農園は日本では考えられないくらい広大で(東京ドーム180(個分)？)畑で働く人々は1日中腰を屈めて5000個のパイナップルの種(パイナップルのアタマ)を植え付けしていると聞き美味しい果物をいただく裏には大変なご苦労があることを知ることがてきました。売店で採れたてのパイナップルの試食と、まるまる1個のお土産をいただくことができ、ホテルに戻ってからの
楽しみができました。農園見学後はハレイワの中心地にあるガーリックシュリンプの人気店で昼食をして、午後からはパワースポートの亀の岩や日本のテレビでも紹介された石鹸工場を見学しました。帰りは参加者の希望を聞いていただき、タンタラスの丘のいつもは行かない一番高い所の駐車場でオアフ島のパノラマを楽しみました。ツアーは新しい発見もあり思い出深い1日を過ごすことができました。

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was amazing! I couldn't join the Japanese guided tour due to scheduling conflicts, so I participated in the English guided tour, but I was able to listen to the explanations about the observatory and the stars in Japanese. Thank you so much! I was able to see my zodiac sign, Capricorn, and received explanations about it. I encountered Subaru, Betelgeuse, and many stars. It truly became a wonderful memory.

マウナケア山頂からの日の入りは最高でした！
　日本語ガイドツアーは日程が合わず、英語ガイドツアーに参加したのですが、天文台、星の説明を日本語で聴くことができました
本当にありがとうございました！
私の星座の山羊座を見ることができ、説明もしてもらえました。スバル、ベテルギウス、たくさんの星に出会えました。本当にいい思い出になりまし

We set sail to catch the sunset. Enjoyed some snacks and cocktails while feeling a bit tipsy. Spotted a whale in the distance. We had the best sunset experience on the Big Island of Hawaii!

サンセットに合わせて出航。スナックとカクテルでほろ酔い。遠くにクジラを発見。最高のハワイ島サンセットを楽しみました！

I signed up to enjoy the sunset and stargazing from the mountaintop. Since we traveled by car, it was easy to head to the summit, but in reality, reaching an altitude of 4,200 meters involved a 20-minute journey on a gravel road, along with battling the invisible threat of altitude sickness, which was quite the challenge! After enduring headaches and slight breathlessness, a breathtaking view awaited us at the top!

Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset and a sky full of stars, making it a perfect 120-point tour experience! Lastly, I experienced mild altitude sickness for the first time, but I found that listening to the staff's advice helped alleviate the symptoms. However, I recommend not overexerting yourself and moving around too much.

山頂からのサンセットと天体観測を楽しみに申し込みました。
車での移動でしたので手軽に山頂へ向かうことができますが実際には、標高4200mの高さまで辿り着くには20分ほどの砂利道を通ったり、見えない高山病との戦いもありました笑
頭痛がしたり若干の息苦しさを耐え忍んだ暁月には壮大すぎる絶景が待っています！！
私たちは幸いにも天候に恵まれ、最高の夕焼け、満点の星空を眺めることが出来、120点満点のツアーを体験することができたことに感謝します！
最後に初めて軽度の高山病になりましたが、高山病はスタッフのアドバイスを聞き、楽になりますが調子に乗って動き回らないことをお勧めします。

We signed up for the 150m experience as a couple. On the day of the event, the reception and crew warmly welcomed us, and we were able to add a photo service for $40. There was also a family of three from West Virginia who joined us spontaneously, and we set off. The 150m height was higher than I imagined, offering a panoramic view of the ocean and Waikiki. You can spot places you visited during your walk and your hotel, enjoying the scenery from different angles (though looking down is quite scary!). The photos are transferred to your smartphone on the spot, and you also receive an SD card. The access is good, and it wraps up quickly, making it an experience I would highly recommend.

150m 夫婦で申し込みました。
当日は受付と乗組員の方々が温かく迎え入れてくれて、40ドルで写真撮影のサービスを追加できました。他にはウエストバージニア州からお越しの家族3名が飛び入り参加で、出発しました。150mは想像よりも高く、海もワイキキも一望できます。散策で訪れたスポットや、宿泊しているホテルを見つけたり、違った角度から楽しめます。（下を見るととても怖いですが。）写真はその場でスマホへの転送とSDカードも貰えます。アクセスも良く、サクッと終わりますし、おすすめしたい体験でした。

The experience itself was very enjoyable, especially since it was my first time. However, the northeast wind (trade winds) starts to blow strongly around noon in Waikiki, so it's better to choose an early morning time. Also, the height measurements are incorrect; they should be around 800 feet (about 26 meters) and 100 feet (about 33 meters). Wouldn't it be better to correct this?

体験自体は、初めてで、非常に楽しかったが、　ワイキキ沖は、北東の風（貿易風）が、昼ぐらいから強く吹いてくるので、朝早い時間を選択するのがベターである。
また、高さ表現が間違っており、800feet(約26ｍ）, 100feet(約33ｍ）ぐらいである。
訂正をした方が、良いのでは？？
