All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

It's very spacious, and to get around, you can either ride in a car, take a bus, or ride a horse. I wanted to ride a horse, but since the course is long, I chose the bus considering the strain on my back. Unfortunately, there was no explanation in Japanese when we arrived, and the bus for this movie location tour also had no Japanese at all. That's a bit disappointing. I recommend reading the explanations in advance. Next time, I would like to try zip-lining as well.

とても広くて、見て回るにはクルマに乗るか、バスに乗るか、馬に乗るか。
馬に乗りたかったけれども、長いコースなので、腰への負担を考えてバスにしました。着いたときの説明も、この映画ロケ地ツアーのバスも日本語は全くないです。それがちょっと残念。事前に説明を読んでおくことをおすすめします。
次回はジップラインもやってみたいなあ。

My friends and I had a great time during this luau! There were a lot of activities to learn traditional manners of cooking, delicious food to eat, and an outstanding show with dance from all the Polynesian islands. I would truly recommend this experience to everyone! Everyone that worked there was very personable as well. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to actually explore the valley but I heard great things about that. I would definitely leave time before to go to the waterfall.

I regret not booking the Luau and show. I will definitely do it next time! Mahalo Rockahula!!

The stars were very visible. I have seen stars from the 8th station of Mount Fuji in the past, but this time there were more and they were more beautiful. I'm glad I participated in the tour.

The sunset was beautiful, but it felt just as I expected.

The BLT sandwich we were given for dinner was something I wasn't expecting, but it was packed with ingredients and delicious, haha.

星が非常によく見えました。
過去に富士山8号目から星を見たことがありますが、今回の方が綺麗かつたくさん見れました。ツアー参加してよかったなと思います

夕日も綺麗でしたが期待通りといった感じ

夕食として配られたBLTサンドは期待していなかったですが、具沢山で美味しかったです笑

It was an English tour, but I appreciated that they provided explanations in Japanese here and there. The sunset at Mauna Kea was truly beautiful, and as we drove up, I could feel the temperature dropping gradually with the increasing elevation, which made me realize just how high the mountain is. I can't believe we could drive all the way to the summit!

The photo opportunities were fantastic, with many great poses suggested, and the friendly service was reassuring. We were the only Japanese people in the car, so I was very grateful for the care we received. The night sky was also breathtaking, with the Milky Way visible—it was an emotional experience!

I participated in a similar tour with a different company about ten years ago, but I noticed some great differences this time: the sandwiches were delicious, they took a lot of photos, and the number of silversword plants at the Onizuka Center has significantly increased thanks to conservation efforts. I definitely think this is a must-do tour on the Big Island!

英語のツアーでしたが日本語でも所々説明してくれて助かりました。
マウナケアの夕日は本当に美しくて、たどり着くまでの車の中でも少しずつ標高が上がるたびにだんだん寒くなってくるので本当に高い山なんだなと実感します。
頂上まで車で来られるなんて信じられない！
写真はたくさん素敵なポーズを提案してくれてフレンドリーな対応にホッとしました。車の中で日本人は私たちのみでしたがケアいただいて大変ありがたかったです。
夜の星空も天の川が見えて感動的でした！
昔10年前も別の会社の類似ツアーに参加しましたが、サンドイッチが美味しいこと、たくさん写真をとってくれること、オニヅカセンターの銀剣草の数が保護の甲斐あってとても増えていることなど良い違いを感じました。
ぜひハワイ島にはマストなツアーだと思います

I participated for 120 minutes and had a great time. It was a very windy day, so the boat was quite rocky until we got out to sea, and it seemed like many people experienced seasickness. However, during the parasailing, there was no wave impact, so I was able to enjoy the view from above comfortably. It was a great experience. Thank you! ♪

120mでの参加でしたが、充分楽しめました。とても風の強い日だったので沖に出るまでは結構船が揺れるので、船酔いされる方も多かったようです。でもパラセーリング中は、波の影響がないので、快適に空からの眺めを楽しめます。良い経験でした。ありがとうございます♪

This is my second time using the tour company. The driver, Massan, was quiet on the way to Haleiwa, but during the mini tour, he really showed his true colors and provided a fun time. He even came out and said, "Actually, I made this song." It turned out that the song that had been playing in the car since the beginning of the trip was selected from Massan's original album. That was another interesting episode and made it enjoyable. Thank you very much.

当ツアーの催行会社さん二度目の利用者です。
ドライバーのmassanは往路こそ物静かにハレイワまで連れて行ってくれましたが、ミニツアーでは、本領を発揮して楽しい時間を提供してくれました。
そして、「実はこの曲作ってるの自分なんです。」とカミングアウト。往路からずっと車内で流れていた曲はmassanのオリジナルアルバムからの選曲であったことが判明。それもまた、面白エピソードで楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The time is a bit short at just over 30 minutes, but being able to catch about three waves is incredibly fun! It was worth paddling together with everyone. I'll never forget surfing at Waikiki Beach.

時間的には30分少々と短いのですが、波乗りが約3回出来るのは、最高に楽しいですね〜
みんなでパドル漕いだ甲斐があります
ワイキキビーチで波乗りは忘れられません

My daughter tends to get seasick, so I was worried about the boat ride to the submarine, but it turned out to be much faster and more refreshing than I expected. We could see Oahu Island from the ocean, and the sense of satisfaction was incredible. It was fun!

娘が酔いやすかったので潜水ボートまで船移動が心配だったが、実はこの船移動が思っていたより高速で爽快。沖からオワフ島を見れたし満足感が半端ない。楽しかった。

I imagined it would be very crowded, but it was actually quite comfortable. If you arrive early in the morning, you can enjoy the breathtaking views all to yourself. It wasn't that far from Waikiki.

とても混んでいると想像していたがとっても快適。朝一で到着すれば絶景独り占め。ワイキキからでしたがそんなに遠くありませんでした。

I was able to spend a graceful time in nature. Both the mountains and the sea were very beautiful. The guide also spoke to us at just the right moments, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind.

大自然の中で優雅な時間を過ごせました。山も海も、とてもきれいでした。ガイドの方も適度に声をかけてくださり、安心して楽しむことができました。

We participated in a Segway tour as a family of three. We visited the coast and historical buildings, and if you requested, we also went to places decorated for Christmas, which was fantastic. The instructor was kind and took many wonderful photos for us, and also shared information about shops. I would love to participate again. Thank you very much!

セグウェイを家族３人で参加しました。
海岸や歴史的な建物などを回ったほか希望したらクリスマスの飾り付けした場所も回って最高でした。
インストラクターさんも親切て、素敵な写真をたくさん撮っていただいたり、ショップの情報も教えてもらいました。
また参加したいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

The show included not only hula dancing and fire dancing but also performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, making it a quick hour-long experience. Each act was of high quality, and I definitely want to go again. I was especially satisfied since I got to enjoy it at a great price.

フラダンス、ファイヤーダンスだけでなく、エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンショーもあり、あっという間の1時間ちょいのショーでした。
どれもレベルが高く、また行きたいと思うショーでした。
お得に行けたので尚更大満足です。

The Japanese guided tour was free and very easy to understand, making it a great learning experience. They kindly answered various questions as well. The interior of the ship is really spacious, and the exhibits are well-equipped.

日本語ガイドツアーが無料であり、大変わかりやすく勉強になりました。色々な質問にも丁寧に答えて頂けます。船内はホント広く展示も充実してます。

上から見る世界、そして私の人生で最も危険な瞬間。
フリーフォールのスリルと、果てしない景色の美しさ。
恐怖が畏敬の念に変わる瞬間—私はそれを決して忘れないでしょう。
ありがとう。

The world from above, and the most dangerous moment of my life.
The thrill of freefall, and the beauty of the endless view.
A moment when fear turns into awe—I’ll never forget it.
Thank you.

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！
