All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The content was very good, but the venue was unexpectedly too cold, and by the end, I found myself wanting to leave quickly. However, it was fun.

内容はとても良かったが、会場が予想異常に寒すぎて最後のほうは、早く出たいと思ってしまいました。
でも楽しかったです。

Pretty place to go to once maybe twice, tide was up. So you basically are floating or walking on ocean floor

Not only was the buggy experience enjoyable, but it also provided a fantastic time that felt extraordinary and reminiscent of a scene from a movie, something you wouldn't see in Japan. There are very few activities in Japan that allow for such a long experience, so I was very satisfied. The guide was friendly and casually took photos for us, engaging in conversation with us, even though our English was not very good. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

バギー体験だけでなく、景色が日本では見られないような非日常的でいてその中で映画のワンシーンを思い出させてくれる最高に楽しい時間でした
日本ではこんなに長く体験できるアクティビティは少ないのでとても満足できました
ガイドさんもフレンドリーで気軽に写真を撮ってくれたりろくに英語もできない私たちにも楽しそうに会話してくださいました
楽しい体験ありがとうございました

Since it was my second visit to Haleiwa during my trip, I did not participate in the mini photo tour. I had time to spare, but without transportation, my range of activities was limited, and I ended up with too much free time.

旅行期間中に2度目のハレイワ訪問であったため、ミニフォトツアーには参加しませんでした。タプリと時間がありますが、移動手段がないため行動範囲が限られてしまい、時間をもて余してしまいました。

I went skydiving once in Australia and got hooked, so this time I went skydiving in Hawaii! I was able to enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful ocean and mountains, fully immersing myself in nature!! I felt like I wanted to jump again right after finishing! Haha! This is definitely the number one activity that everyone should experience at least once in their life!!

オーストラリアで1回スカイダイビングをし、ハマったので今回はハワイでスカイダイビング！
最高に綺麗な海と山を眺めることができて自然を満喫できました！！
終わってすぐまた飛びたい！と思ったほどです笑笑
人生に一回は絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティNo. 1です！！

I missed the shuttle bus due to my own oversight, but thanks to the kind guidance of the staff, I was able to meet up at the location by taxi and enjoy a wonderful cruise. (My family was booing me along the way) 😡😡

自分の確認不足で迎えのバスに乗り遅れましたが、スタッフさんの親切な案内で、タクシーで現地合流無事楽しいクルーズを楽しみました。(途中家族からはブーイング)😡😡

It was high tide, so we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar, but we were able to enjoy the stunning sea! On the boat, they sang songs and served donuts and drinks, so we never got bored. For activities other than kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, we could swim without life jackets.

満潮の時だったので綺麗なサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、十分に綺麗な海を見ることができました！
船の中では歌を歌ってくれたりドーナツやドリンクもサービスされ、退屈することなく過ごせました。
カヤックやSUP以外のアクティビティであればライフジャケットはなしで泳ぐことができました。

I was able to see beautiful sunsets and rainbows, creating truly wonderful memories of Hawaii. The staff's service was also fantastic, and they really lifted our spirits! We participated with our 0-year-old child, and everything went smoothly. However, I got quite seasick, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness bring some medication!

綺麗なサンセットも虹も見ることができて本当に最高のハワイの思い出ができました。
スタッフさんの対応も素晴らしく私たちを盛り上げてくれました！
0歳児も一緒に参加しましたが問題なく過ごすことができました。
ただ私は結構酔ったので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参することをオススメします！

It was an incredibly fun show that fused various elements like hula dancing, fire shows, and Michael Jackson! I had a great time✨ Since it was a weekday, there were only about a third of the seats filled.

フラダンスやファイアーショーやマイケルジャクソンなど様々な分野が融合してて最高に楽しいショーでした！とても楽しめました✨
平日だったのでお客さんは会場の1/3ほどしかいませんでした。

I had been curious about the ATV experience at Kualoa Ranch for a while. After reading various reviews from others mentioning the dust, I found that it wasn't as bad as I expected when I actually tried it. Of course, I wore goggles and the free scarf they provided...

(By the way, the weather was clear both the day before and the day of the experience.)

The guide was very entertaining and spoke at a slow enough pace that I could understand the explanations in English with some effort. I was glad to hear a lot about Kualoa Ranch.

The experience lasted long enough that my husband and I could take turns driving and still have plenty of fun. The vast landscape was stunning, and it was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, which made me very satisfied! Next, I would like to try horseback riding.

以前から気になっていたクアロアランチのバギー体験。他の方の体験談をいろいろ拝見していると砂埃がすごいということでしたが実際体験してみるとそれほどでもなかったです。もちろんゴーグルと無料でもらえるスカーフをしてですが…
（ちなみに天気は前日当日共に快晴でした。）


ガイドの方がとても面白くて説明の英語も頑張ればなんとか分かるくらいのゆっくりめのスピードで話してくれ、クアロアランチの話をたくさん聞けて良かった。

体験時間も十分にあったので夫婦で交代して運転しても充分楽しめます。とにかく広大な大地で景色も素晴らしく日本では味わえない体験ができたのが大満足でした！
次は乗馬体験をしてみたいです。

I thought a relaxing tour at Kualoa Ranch would be nice, so I chose this option. You can experience the magnificent nature of Hawaii. Next, I think an ATV tour would be good as well.

クアロア・ランチのツアーの中でのんびりツアーも良いかなと思い、これを選択。ハワイの壮大な自然を感じる事が出来ます。次はバギーも良いかと思っております。

It was exciting last time, so I participated for the second time this time. There wasn't a dive into the sea last time, but this time it included a dive, which was a great bonus. Even seniors can enjoy it fully. The crew was great at getting everyone excited, and the atmosphere on the boat was fantastic!! I'm looking forward to the next time.

前回もエキサイティングだったので今回2度目の参加でした。前回は海へのダイブは無かったのですが、今回はダイブ込みで大サービスでした。シニア世代でも十分に楽しめます。クルーの盛り上げも上手でボート内は大盛り上がり！！次回も楽しみです。

I really struggled with the decision to sign up. What if an accident happens...? However, as I read the reviews on this site, my anxiety faded, and I started to think that I would regret missing this opportunity, so I made a reservation.

On the day itself, to be honest, I didn't feel scared at all. I was just overwhelmed by the breathtaking scenery in front of me. The wind pressure was stronger than I expected, and I couldn't pose as instructed by the photographer, resulting in some embarrassing photos. But it was a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Looking at the shots that couldn't be captured by the instructor's camera, I felt it was worth having a photographer! I didn't experience the often-heard "it changed my perspective on life!" because it wasn't something I accomplished on my own. However, I did gain an emotional experience unlike anything I've had before!

申し込むまで本当に悩みました。もしも事故が起きたら…でも、このサイトの口コミ見ているうちに、不安が薄れて、この機会を逃したら後悔するって思い始め予約しました。
当日は正直怖さはなかったです。目の前に広がる景色に感動しかありませんでした。思った以上に風圧強く、カメラマンさんの指示通りポーズが出来ず、恥ずかしい写真もいっぱい。でも、一生に一度の思い出。インストラクターカメラでは撮影できないショットを見て、カメラマン付にして良かった！って思っています。よく聞く"人生観変わった！"というのは、私の場合はありませんでした。それは、自力で成し遂げたものではなかったからです。でも、今までに経験したことのない感動は得られました！

I don't speak English at all. Due to scheduling, I booked an English tour, but Chris, our driver, spoke to us in Japanese, so there were no difficulties.

We were the only Japanese participants, but I was very grateful that he provided explanations in Japanese at key points.

The tour content was relaxed and enjoyable. I felt reassured that everything proceeded according to schedule.

I was informed that I could receive a discount at Dole, but the staff there didn't seem to notice? I later realized that I ended up shopping at the regular price. I think it's better to proactively remind them when shopping.

It got a bit long, but I was able to participate in the tour without worrying about not understanding English. Thank you, Chris!

英語は全く話せません。スケジュールの関係で英語ツアーを予約しましたが、ドラバイバーのクリスさんが日本語で話して下さり不自由がなかったです。

日本人参加は私達しかいなかったのですが、要所要所で日本語で説明して下さったのがとても有り難かったです。

ツアー内容もゆったりしていて良いです。スケジュール通りの進行で安心しました。

ドールでは割引が受けられると説明を受けてましたが、ドール側の店員の方に気付いて貰えず？定価での買い物になった事に後から気付きました。買い物をする時は自分から忘れずにアピールした方がいいと思います。

長くなりましたが英語が分からなくても安心してツアーに参加出来ました。クリスさんありがとうございました！

It might be good for off-road enthusiasts. It felt like driving through Japanese forest roads while visiting movie filming locations. Since I was at the back of the group, there was a lot of dust, but I was relieved to have a bandana as a mask.

オフロード好きにには良いかもしてない
日本の林道を走れながら映画のロケ地を見て周ってる感じでした
グループの最後尾を走っていたので砂ぼこりが凄かった　でもマスクがわりのバンダナがいただけるので安心でした　

Wonderful crew, great boat, dolphins, and the ocean. What could be better?

This tour starts early, but it is worth it.
Nice bus great friendly driver.
The climb is fast paced if you want to reach the top in time for sunrise, not easy and you will be out of breath.
Truest worth th effort.
The way down is slower paced and super easy.
Loved this and glad we did it.

My husband, who loves stargazing, has always wanted to visit the Subaru Telescope, and that dream has come true. He was happily and contentedly watching from a spot where we could see the sunset and the Subaru Telescope. Seeing him like that made me happy as well. As for me, I love looking at the sky, and on this day, the combination of the sea of clouds, colorful clouds, and sunset created a wonderful scene. The orange sunset and the pink sunset were beautiful. The guide took photos frequently from the best spots.

Although the conditions for stargazing were not ideal, being the second day after a full moon, we were still able to see a sky full of stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars, which made me very satisfied. They showed us Saturn through a telescope and provided a lecture on the stars using a laser pointer. The photo with the Milky Way was a first-time experience and became a memorable shot. Our guide, Shotaro, was very friendly and spoke Japanese well. Although he is not Japanese, he explained everything in both English and Japanese since half of the participants were Japanese. I felt really lucky! Understanding the language added depth to the experience.

The sandwiches and hot cocoa under the starry sky were delicious, making it truly the best experience.

星をみるのが好きな夫がずっと行きたかったすばる天文台。その夢が叶いました。夕日とすばる天文台が見える場所で嬉しそうに満足気にずっと見ていました。そんな夫をみてわたしも嬉しくなる時間を過ごすことができました。わたしはというと普段から空をみるのが大好きで、この日は雲海と彩雲と夕日とがセットで素晴らしい光景でした。オレンジの夕日にピンクの夕日。ガイドの方が最高のポイントでこまめに写真を撮ってくださいました。
また星空については満月になって2日目という悪条件でしたが、満天の星に天の川・流れ星もみることができて大満足です。天体望遠鏡で土星をみせてくださったりレーザーをあてて星のレクチャーもしてくださいました。なんといっても天の川と一緒の写真は初体験で記念になる1枚となりました。そんな至れり尽くせりのガイドさんは日本語が上手で気さくなショウタロウさん。日本人ではないのですが参加者の半数が日本人だったこともあり、車の中でも着いてからもすへて英語と日本語で説明してくださいました。本当にラッキー！言葉がわかったので体験に深みがでたと思います。
サンドイッチも星空でのホットココアもおいしくて、本当に最高の体験でした。

I had a two-hour horseback riding experience, but it actually lasted about an hour and a half. Before riding, I thought it might be long, but it was such a fun time that went by in a flash. The instructor, who spoke a little Japanese, stayed close by to guide us, which made me feel safe even as a beginner. I think I was able to have a unique experience while slowly progressing and enjoying the magnificent scenery. After the horseback riding, we had to wait nearly two hours for the departure of the return bus, which felt a bit like a waste of time... Since we had an early start, we passed the time by having an early lunch at the adjacent café. We participated as a couple in our 50s, and at that time, there were six of us in a group, riding in a line. I seemed to be the oldest, but I felt completely fine physically.

2時間の乗馬体験とありましたが、実際は1時間半ぐらいだったでしょうか、乗る前は長いかなぁ〜と思ってましたが、全然飽きないあっという間の楽しい時間でした。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターの方がずっとそばに付いて先導、もしくは後ろに付いてくれて初めてでも安心して乗れました。とにかく雄大な景色を眺めながらゆっくりと進んでくれてなかなか出来ない体験を出来たと思います。乗馬が終わった後、帰りのバスの出発まで2時間近く待ちの時間があったのが、少しもったいない気もしますが・・
朝早くの出発でしたので、隣接してるカフェで早めのお昼ごはんを食べたりして時間を潰しました。50代夫婦での参加でした、その時は6人１組で、一列に並んでの乗馬でどうやら一番年長でしたが、体力的には全然余裕でした。

This time we were blessed with great weather and had fun playing at a very beautiful sandbar. The staff were friendly and enjoyable, and the lunch hamburger was delicious!

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

今回はお天気に恵まれ、とても綺麗なサンドバーで遊べました。
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーで楽しく
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!

またハワイを訪れた際は参加したいと思いました。

ありがとうございました。

The sunset from an elevation of 4,000 meters, higher than Mount Fuji, was simply amazing. The beauty created by the clouds and the setting sun is something I will never forget.

Although the starry sky was slightly clouded and the conditions weren't perfect, I was still able to see countless stars and the Milky Way. This is a tour I would recommend everyone experience at least once in their lifetime.

富士山よりも高い標高 4000 メートルからの夕日はただただ最高でした。雲と沈む太陽が織りなす美しさは一生忘れないと思います。
また星空は少し雲がかかっており完璧とは言えないコンディションでしたが、それでも無数の星と天の川が見れました。一生に一度は行くことを勧めたいツアーです。

Host was great for all to feel welcomed and gave lots of amazing facts about the Lua. The food was delicious and plentiful.

Been years since we did a Luau. It was a beautiful venue at the Royal Lahaina. Unfortunately, we had small rain events going thru the area most of the day and right at the start of the Luau. The staff did a great job getting things dried down and the service was friendly and fun. Loved the food and drink choices. The performance was traditional with some amazing young kids carrying on the Hawaiian traditions. We had a fun time thanks!

Russ was a fantastic tour guide. We felt he was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his island. Everything was well organized from the ferry to transportation once we got there. We stayed on the island and took the 5:30 pm ferry. Our driver took us to the cat sanctuary and then picked us up and took us to the Four Seasons to chill until it was time to head to the ferry. He then came back and took us to the ferry. This was all very much appreciated!

It was great! So pretty and fun, and great to see the beautiful river and grotto.

Our tour started off with a bit of rain but it got better when we stopped for coffee and a Leonard's malasada! Stephanie was very knowledgeable and had great stories about each place we passed and/or stopped to enjoy. Lunch was great at the Kahuku food truck area and the rest of the day was great as Stephanie gave us choices of whether we wanted to spend time at certain areas or just carry on to the next. As the rain started again on our way back Stephanie told us some stories of scary personal experiences of Hawaiian legends and folklore that happened on rainy days like this one. Such a great day of sightseeing and not having to drive could not have been better for me. Would certainly recommend this tour.

I saw various things submerged, including coral reefs and many fish. I also learned about the efforts being made to protect the marine environment and gather the fish.

色々なものが沈んでいて、珊瑚礁、魚もたくさん見れました。魚達を集めるため、海の環境を守るために努力されていることも知ることができて勉強になりました。

While the day was sad knowing the deaths and hardships faced, it was also a day of learning and exploring, see how the wonderful tributes have been addressed by the powers that be for Pearl Harbour is very honourable for the families and surrounds.
We had a wonderful tour guide Sam who was very knowledgeable, and a very friendly manner, a good addition to our day

During our stay, we requested two lessons. My 8-year-old son discovered the joy of surfing during the first lesson. Right after the first lesson ended, we made a reservation for the next day. Since Matt, the instructor, was so kind, we arranged for the second lesson with him as well! I was amazed that he was already standing on the board during the first lesson, but he improved even more during the second lesson, so I’m grateful that we decided to do it.

For the second lesson, we were at a location a bit farther away, so we couldn't take photos from the beach, but the photographer took some wonderful pictures for us. My son is already saying, "Next time we go to Hawaii, I want to surf every day!" Waikiki BeachBoys is a school where not only the coaches but all the staff are warm and welcoming, and I definitely want to request lessons again! Thank you very much.

滞在中に 2回レッスンをお願いしました。
1回目のレッスンですっかりサーフィンの楽しさを知った8歳の息子。
1回目のレッスンが終わったその場で、翌日の予約をお願いしました。
マット先生が優しく教えてくれたので、 2回目も同じマット先生で調整していただきました！
1回目さえ、もうボードに立ってる！と驚きましたが、1回目より 2回目の方が更に上達していたので、お願いする価値があったなぁと感謝しています。
2回目は、少し離れた場所でレッスンをしてもらったので、ビーチからは写真が撮れなかったのですが、カメラマンがしっかりと素敵な写真を撮ってきてくれます。
「次にハワイに行く時は、毎日サーフィンをしたい！」と今から息子は言っています。
Waikiki BeachBoysさんは、コーチだけでなく、スタッフの皆さんが温かくて、是非またレッスンをお願いしたいなと思うスクールです！
ありがとうございました。

We booked the Friday night fireworks cruise for Halloween. We got married that day and this was a fun way to celebrate with our adult children. The cruise was fun and the kids enjoyed the open bar. The fireworks were great.
