All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Highly recommend for anyone wanting a comprehensive, off-the-beaten-path island experience.

The guides shared geology, Hawaiian history, and local plant life in a way that felt really genuine. The group was also small so it never felt rushed.

We spent about 75 minutes at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, watched the 23-minute film on December 7, 1941, and then took the shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. Afterwards, the tour included a drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) and a window‑view tour of downtown Honolulu.

Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.

The trail is beautiful and lush, with tropical scenery at every turn. A simple, enjoyable rainforest escape.

This shuttle made visiting Manoa Falls easy. Pick-up in Waikiki was on time, and the ride was comfortable.

The manta rays are graceful, peaceful, and totally mesmerizing. On the ride back, we enjoyed hot cocoa and tea, which made for the perfect ending to a truly unforgettable evening!

Loved this tour! We saw so much of the Big Island in a single day. And the guide shared really interesting facts along the way.

A fantastic way to see the islands highlights in one day like the Volcanoes National Park, Waipio Valley (our favorite), black sand beaches, and gorgeous waterfalls.

The tour guide was super knowledgeable and kept a smooth pace, making it easy to enjoy every stop. Highly recommend for a comprehensive island experience.

The Mauna Kea volcano tour is a great balance of nature, science, and culture.

This was a deeply moving tour that balanced historical reflection with local storytelling. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Oahu who wants to understand its past.

Unforgettable day! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the long drive feel like part of the adventure. We visited several waterfalls (some with short hikes), and the lush rainforest scenery was stunning!

the manta rays glided beneath and around us, often coming within just a few feet, the tour felt very respectful and peaceful all at once.

Really loved this experience for being my first time on a water bike. The water bikes felt even easier to ride than a kayak!

Our instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and made the lesson fun for everyone in our group!

This was a highlight of my Maui trip. If you want an authentic, well-executed luau experience, Old Lahaina Luau is absolutely worth it, and the traditional seating in the front row makes it even more special.

The evening was just wonderful, with beautiful ocean views and cultural demonstrations around the grounds and throughout the show. The food as well was excellent, with a wide range of traditional Hawaiian dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful.

The UTV mapped trails through Jurassic Valley were stunning, with incredible views of the mountains and coastline and lots of fun movie add ins throughout

Snorkeling with manta rays was absolutely unforgettable The boat was well-maintained, the sunset cruise beforehand was a beautiful bonus. Highly recommend this unique Big Island adventure.

h. The guide explained the entire pineapple-growing process in an easy, engaging way, and the tasting was excellent, truly the freshest pineapple I’ve ever had

Such a great day - from the black sand beach to the Waipio Valley lookout and multiple waterfalls, of course with visiting Volcanoes National Park as the standout!!

The early start was absolutely worth it. The shuttle was on time, the guide was friendly, and we reached the trail before the crowds.

I had an incredible experience at the Old Lahaina Luau. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and truly immersed in Hawaiian culture

There were many exhibits related to Japan, and it was very educational. I was also able to tour the interior of a battleship that was actually used, and I believe such exhibits are unique. I'm glad I went.

日本にまつわる多くの展示があり、非常に勉強になりました。
また、実際に使われていた戦艦の内部の作りなども見学することができ、
こういった展示物は他にはないだろうと思います。
行ってよかったです。

The crew was kind, and the activities and snorkeling were fulfilling, so I want to go again! I was very satisfied with the tour as I got to see many turtles! There’s no need to worry about not being able to speak Japanese.

クルーも優しくアクティビティやシュノーケリングも充実していてまた行きたいです！
亀もたくさん見れて大満足のツアーでした！
日本語が通じない心配もないです

The food was delicious (especially the teriyaki chicken), and it was great to enjoy hula dancing up close! It's a bit disappointing that there were few drink options 😢 You can get juice and alcohol for an additional fee.

料理も美味しく（特に照り焼きチキン）、フラダンスなどを間近で楽しめてよかった！
ドリンクの種類が少ないのだけ残念😢追加料金でジュースとお酒は飲めます

It was quite difficult to go on our own, so we decided to join a tour. There was a good amount of free time, and we strolled around the city while asking our driver for recommendations on places to visit. We were very lucky to see sea turtles swimming at Haleiwa Beach. The garlic shrimp was plump and very delicious. It was a great town with a different atmosphere from the city center, and you could really feel the local vibe. I definitely want to visit again if I have the chance.

自分たちで行くには大変なのでツアーにしました。自由時間も程よく、ドライバーさんにオススメの場所など聞きながら街を散策しました。ハレイワビーチではウミガメが泳いでいるのも見れてとても幸運でした。
ガーリックシュリンプのエビがプリップリでとても美味しかったです。
中心地とは違う雰囲気で生活感が感じられるとてもいい街でした。機会があればまたぜひ訪れたいと思います。

Paddling was tough. I realized that if you paddle in your own way, it can be tiring, but it was really fun! I want to experience it again.

パドルを漕ぐのが大変だった。
漕ぎ方が自己流だと疲れてしまうのを知りましたが、すごく楽しかった！
もう一度体験したいです。

After getting off the bus, I wasn't sure what to do, but when I showed the voucher on my smartphone at the ticket center, they issued me a paper ticket✋. This took away half of my anxiety, and the other half was about finding the Japanese guide. I managed to find where the guide was, and I met a wonderful volunteer guide (NENE), and it was amazing!!

Her service and hospitality were top-notch (laughs)👍. I want to come back and see her again!

Thank you, Nene-chan. See you again soon! 🤗👍

バスを降りてからとりあえずどうすれば良いか分からず、スマホのバウチャーをチケットセンターに見せると、紙のチケットを発行してくれました✋
これで不安は半分無くなりまして、あと半分は日本語ガイドさんを探すこと。何とかガイドさんが居る場所を見つけて、素晴らしボランティアガイドさん(NENEさん)に巡りあって、最高でしたー！！
気付いも、接客も営業も(笑)最高👍
また会いに着たくなりました！

ありがとう、ねねちゃん。またねー🤗👍
