All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

My husband and I participated with our 5-year-old child. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the snorkeling spot, but the waves are quite high, so I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication. On the way to our destination, we even saw whales, which got our child very excited.

At first, our 5-year-old was scared of snorkeling, but there was a bodyboard-like device with a transparent section, and they enjoyed peeking through it. The sea was also very beautiful, and our family was extremely satisfied. This is definitely a tour we would like to participate in again.

夫、5歳の子どもと参加しました。
30〜40分かけてシュノーケリングスポットに行きますが、波がかなり高く乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め薬必須だと思います。
目的地まで行く間も鯨が見えたりと子ども大興奮でした。
シュノーケリングは5歳の子どもは最初は怖がっていましたが、ボディーボードのようなものに乗って一部が透明になっているのでそこを覗きながら楽しんでいました。海もとても綺麗で家族で大変満足しています。
是非また参加したいツアーでした。

First of all, if you are thinking about swimming with dolphins, it's better to refrain from participating. You will only be able to see the dolphins swimming on the ocean floor from above, and that lasts just a moment.

To catch that brief glimpse, you will be waiting on the boat for a long time. However, the excitement and sense of achievement when you finally see them is incredible. I was thrilled.

You will be swimming tirelessly to reach the dolphins' location, so it can be tiring. But it's fun. You must have the determination to see the dolphins. Once everyone has seen them, there will be free time with activities like a slide, which is very enjoyable.

By the way, I heard that on the previous day's tour, they weren't able to see any dolphins, so it can depend on luck. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so don't forget to bring a jacket. I think it's a good idea to change out of your swimsuit in the restroom as well.

まずはじめにらイルカと一緒に泳げるとかと思ってる方は、参加をご遠慮したほうが良いです。　
イルカが海底で泳いでいる姿を上から眺める程度です。それも一瞬です。
この一瞬を見るためひたすら船の上で待機です。その分、見れたときの感動や達成感はすごかったです。興奮してました。
ただイルカがいる位置までひたすら泳ぐので、疲れます。でも楽しいです。絶対イルカ見てやるという気持ちでひたすら泳がなければなりません。全員が見れたら、スベり台など自由時間となります。とても楽しいです。
ちなみに、前日のツアーではイルカを見ることができなかったと言ってましたので、運にも左右されます。
こちらのツアーも帰りは寒いので上着などは忘れずに。トイレで水着から着替えるのも良いかと思います。

I used this service for my first tour after arriving in Hawaii. It was amazing, just as I expected. Since it was only Japanese tourists, I felt safe and enjoyed myself. However, I went during the COVID period, so I brought my own snorkel and goggles.

I heard that you need to be able to swim to some extent for turtle watching. Hearing that made me nervous and I almost gave up, but watching the turtle watching group made me think it would be okay. I definitely recommend going even if you can't swim. I believe it will work out. I brought my snorkel and goggles but ended up not participating, which was a mistake.

While waiting for the turtle watching group, there are inflatable rings and other toys available, so don't worry. You can have plenty of fun. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so if you don't have something to wear, you might catch a cold. It's better to prepare a jacket and pants that you can wear over your swimsuit, as the bus ride back can be chilly.

ハワイに着いて最初のツアーで利用しました。
期待通り最高でした。日本人ツアー客のみなので、安心して楽しめました。
しかしながら、ちょうどコロナの時期に行ったので、個人でシュノーケルとゴーグルを持参し行きました。
ウミガメウォッチングはある程度、泳げる人と言われます。その言葉を聞いてびびって諦めましたが、ウミガメウォッチング組の様子を見てるとなんとかなると思いました。是非、泳げなくても見に行ってください。なんとかなると思います。小生はシュノーケルとゴーグルを持参したのに参加せず失敗しました。
ウミガメウォッチング組を待ってる間は、浮き輪など遊び道具はありますので安心してください。十分に楽しめます。
あと帰りは寒いので、羽織るものが無いと風邪引きます。
濡れても良い水着の上から着れる、上着とズボンを用意したほうが良いです。帰りのバスは寒いです。

In early March, we participated in a sunset cruise departing from the beach right in front of the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. We were the only Japanese guests, but the cruise included simple snacks and two drinks with alcohol.

The female captain announced that we might see dolphins and whales today, so everyone focused on searching for them while enjoying the scenery. Soon, one person spotted a sea turtle, and just as we were excited about that, the captain informed us that a pod of dolphins was nearby, prompting all the passengers to start watching. Then we spotted a whale! Everyone got really excited, sharing sightings of dolphins and whales, and the first half of the cruise was filled with excitement over dolphin and whale watching rather than just enjoying the views.

In the second half, we enjoyed the stunning Waikoloa sunset accompanied by slow Hawaiian music, making it a very satisfying sunset cruise.

３月初めに宿泊先のワイコロアビーチマリオットの目の前のビーチから出発のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが簡単なおつまみとアルコールを含む2ドリンクつき。

女性キャプテンからのアナウンスで今日はイルカや鯨も見えるかもとのことで皆景色を楽しみながらもそれらを探すのに集中。
すぐに一人がウミガメを発見し、喜んでいると今度はキャプテンからイルカの群れがすぐ近くにの見えるとのお知らせに乗客皆でウォッチング^_^
そして今度は鯨を発見！
皆さん、ハイテンションになり、あちこちに見えるイルカや鯨を発見しては教え合い、前半は景色を楽しむよりイルカ&ホエルウォッチングで大盛り上がりでした。

後半はスローなハワイアンミュージックをバックに素晴らしいワイコロアのサンセットが見られ大満足のサンセットクルーズでした。

This is a wonderful tour. The boat is comfortable and a mild ride for all ages. The waterfall and fern grotto are beautiful. You receive history of the area and enjoy Hawaiian song and dance. There is time to walk around and enjoy the beauty

Our last day in Oahu and we took a sunset cruise on the catamaran, the staff was fun and friendly, the boat was clean and we had a blast, my wife and I had gotten married in Oahu February 29th 2020 and this was the perfect end to our trip to the island

Would highly recommend!!!

The guide was fantastic, She was very informative and engaging. The bus tour and lay out of all the sites were very good. Well worth your time and money. The lunch buffet was very good. Souvenir shop was not over priced and a lot of memories to take home. Friendly and helpful staff. We will go again next year as we are already booked to return to your beautiful island home.

Everything was great. Tour guides were so cute and had so much knowledge. Each island was very entertaining. Even though it rained heavily most of the day it didn't dampen the experience. The ending pageant was fabulous. We were a little disappointed in the luau but still very entertaining. Definitely something we would do again. Waited 45 married years to get to Hawaii and see this event.

I had a lot of fun. However, I didn't understand English very well, so I wasn't sure about the types of drinks and couldn't drink much. It was quite shaky, so I got pretty seasick at first... But the view was really great!

とても楽しかったです。
けど、英語があまり分からなかったってのもありますが飲み物の種類がよく分からずあまり飲めませんでした。
かなり、揺れるので初めはかなり酔いました…
見える景色はとても良かったです！

Although I had experience in Japan, parasailing in Hawaii was the best. The view of Diamond Head from above was exceptional. Communicating with the young couple I shared the ride with was an added bonus and was fun as well.

日本で経験はあったものの、ハワイでのパラセーリングは最高でした。特に上空からのダイヤモンドヘッドは格別でした。
同乗した若いカップルとのコミュニケーションも、おまけで楽しかったです。

I was able to challenge myself to try skydiving, something I had always wanted to experience at least once in my life, and it became a lifelong memory. The thorough pre-jump briefing eased my anxiety, allowing me to enjoy it to the fullest.

人生で一度は経験してみたかったスカイダイビングに挑戦できたら一生の思い出になりました。事前の説明がしっかりとしているので不安もなく思いっきり楽しめました。

We went with a group of ten, and the staff were very friendly and engaging, which made for a great atmosphere. It was a fun time that flew by in no time.

10人で行ったのですが、スタッフ皆さん気さくに話してくださり、とても盛り上がりました。あっという間の楽しい時間でした。

It was my first experience, and it was very interesting. I have a slight fear of heights, but since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I mustered up the courage to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I decided to challenge myself to 150 meters, and surprisingly, it wasn't as scary as I thought; rather, I was able to enjoy the view from a height that I usually can't see. However, while waiting for other guests, the boat rocked more than I expected, and I felt quite seasick. Normally, I don't get that nauseous in cars or buses, but even for me, it was pretty tough towards the end. I didn't actually throw up, but it was quite challenging. I think motion sickness medication is essential. In any case, I had a great experience this time. There was a Japanese newlywed couple among the other guests, so we asked each other to take photos and videos, and we didn't purchase the paid photos.

初めての経験でしたがとても面白かったです。
若干高所恐怖症なのですがせっかくのハワイ旅行だしと思って勇気を出して挑戦してみて良かったです。
せっかくの機会と思い150mに挑戦しましたが意外と怖さはなく、むしろ普段見ることのできない高いところからの景色を堪能することができました。
ただ、他の客がやっているのを待っている時の船が予想以上に揺れて船酔いがきつかったです。
普段車やバスではそこまで酔うことはないのですがそんな私でも最後の方かなりきつくて、吐くまではいきませんでしたが相当しんどかったです。
酔い止めは必須なのではないかと思います。
いずれにせよ今回は良い経験をさせて頂くことができました。
他のお客さんで日本人の新婚旅行夫婦がいたのでお互いに写真や動画の撮影をお願いして、有料の写真は購入しませんでした。

If the weather had been good, it would have been perfect... The staff's service was great, and the food was delicious. I want to go again on a nice day!!

天気さえ良ければ、最高だったのですが.......
スタッフの皆さんの対応も良く、食事も美味しかった
天気の良い日にもう一度行きたいです!!

This was my fourth dolphin tour. This time, I participated with my son and his wife. After hearing my stories, they were both eager to go and looking forward to it. The waves were calm, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and we were blessed with great weather, which was completely different from last time. The number of dolphins we encountered was by far the highest this time! The clarity of the water was also the best it has ever been! We saw a lot of fish too! My son and his wife were very satisfied and said they would definitely go again next time. I've participated multiple times, and the staff has always been very nice. The tour bus seems to get more luxurious every time I join (laughs). I definitely want to participate again, no, I will participate!!

今回で4回目のイルカツアーでした。
今回は息子夫婦と3人で参加しました。
私の話を聞いて、二人とも絶対行きたいと、楽しみにしていました。
波も穏やかで、気温も程よく暖かく、前回とは全く違って天気に恵まれました。
イルカと会えた数、今回がダントツで一番でした！
海の透明度も今回が最高でした！魚もたくさん見れました！
息子たちも大満足で、次回も絶対に行くと言っていました。
何回も参加していますが、スタッフの方もとてもいい感じです。
ツアーのバスは参加する度にリッチになっていますね（笑）
またぜひ参加したいと思います、いえ、参加します！！

Since I arranged my own flights and hotel, I couldn't ride on the so-called tour trolley.

However, I wanted to experience the trolley at least once, so I arranged this tour (ticket).

I thought it would be similar to a bus, but it was completely different. The Pink Line operates like a bus route that runs back and forth between Ala Moana and Waikiki, and it was convenient to use.

I rode the Green Line, Red Line, and Purple Line, but I only had a little time to get off. However, I was able to enjoy sightseeing from the window. I also enjoyed the driver's (guide's) entertaining stories.

航空券・ホテルと自己手配だったため、いわゆるツアーのトローリーに乗ることができませんでした。

ですが、一度はトローリーに乗ってみたいと思いこのツアー(チケット)を手配しました。

バスの代わり、くらいに考えていたのですが全然違いました。
ピンクラインはアラモアナ - ワイキキを往復するバスのような路線で、それはそれで便利に使えました。

グリーンライン・レッドライン・パープルラインに乗車しましたが、ほんの少しだけしか降りる時間がありませんが、車窓から十分に観光することができました。
ドライバー(ガイド)の楽しいお話も満喫できました。

This time, we participated in a tour just for the two of us, and we were very satisfied with the almost one-on-one guidance and instruction. We were able to enjoy the sunrise as well. Our guide was from the Kansai region, which made us feel a sense of familiarity, and we were able to relax and have a great time. Thank you very much.

今回は、二人だけでのツワー参加で、ほぼマンツーマンでの指導と案内で、
朝日も拝めて大満足でした。
ガイドさんが、関西出身の方だったので、親近感が有って、とてもリラックスして楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

While I was signing the consent form and choosing a helmet, a video about how to handle the horses and safety precautions was playing, so I couldn't watch it much, and since it was my first time riding, I felt very anxious.

I thought I would be able to ride along the beach of Kaneohe Bay as shown in the pictures, but I could only see it from a great distance. Also, it mentioned, "You must have seen that famous tree from the 'What tree is that?' commercial," and I thought I would be able to see that big tree, but I couldn't. (I also couldn't find the monkey pod tree.)

The riding itself was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but the horse was very cute and I had a lot of fun. ^_^ Other people's horses had some unexpected moments, like stopping to eat grass or going to the bathroom. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

同意書にサインしている時やヘルメットを選んでいる時に馬の操り方や注意事項に関するビデオが流されていたのであまり見ることができず、初めての乗馬だったのでとても不安でした。

説明の写真のようにカネオヘ湾の浜辺を乗馬できると思っていたのですが、すごく遠くから見える程度でした。
また、「誰でも一度は見たことがあるはずあの木なんの木のCMで有名な」と書いてあり、あの大きな木が見えるのだと思っていましたが見れませんでした。（モンキーポットの木もどこにあるかわかりませんでした。）

乗馬自体は初めは緊張しましたが、お馬さんがとても可愛く楽しかったです^_^
他の方のお馬さんは、途中で道草を食べたり、うんちやおしっこをしたりハプニングがありました。
また機会があれば訪れたいです。

I participated in this tour at the end of 2019 with my 2-year-old child. The view of the cityscape from the venue, Diamond Head, and the sunset—all of them are etched in my memory and became the best memories. The crew really energized the atmosphere, and I felt pleasantly tipsy; it was such a satisfying tour that I would love to join again!

2歳になる子を連れて2019年の年末にこのツアーに参加しました。
会場から眺める街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、そしてサンセット。
どれも目に焼き付いて最高の思い出となりました。
クルーの皆さんが場を盛り上げてくれて、ほろ酔い気分にもなれるし、また参加したいなぁと思える大満足なツアーでした！

I was able to see dolphins! It was moving to see them jumping. The hamburger I had as a light snack was also really delicious!

イルカみることができました！飛び跳ねるところもみれて感動でした。また軽食のハンバーガーも本当に美味しかったです！

The sunset was very beautiful! The wind was quite strong, and it got cold as the sun began to set. I think a jacket is necessary.

サンセットがとても綺麗でした！
風がかなり強く、日が沈みだすと寒かったです。上着は必要だと思います。

I finally got to try skydiving in Hawaii, which was my number one thing to do! My partner, who can't even ride roller coasters, smiled and said this was something completely different—it was amazing!

We took a bus around 4:30 AM and spent about an hour on the ride while filling out consent forms. After arriving, we received a 10-minute briefing and waited about 20 to 30 minutes before being called by our assigned instructor.
*There was a food truck selling light snacks for breakfast, but since it was a one-person operation, there was quite a wait.

We received a briefing from the instructor about the dive and what to do upon landing before boarding the Cessna. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the dive point. After that, you’ll just have to experience it for yourself!

By around 11 AM, we were back on the bus and arrived at the hotel before noon. I tipped the instructor $20 and the driver $10.

ハワイで1番やりたかったスカイダイビングに初挑戦してきました。
相方はジェットコースターも乗れない人ですが、これは別物！と笑顔で応えたぐらい最高でした。

AM4:30頃のバスに乗り、同意書に記入しながら1hほど乗車。
到着後、10分ほどの説明を受け、20〜30分程待機してから受け持ちのインストラクターに呼ばれます。
※朝ご飯は軽食であればトラック販売していました。ワンオペのため結構待ちますが。

インストラクターからダイビング時、着時のレクチャーを受けセスナへ搭乗。
10〜15分程でダイビングポイントへ。
この後は実際に体感してみてください笑

11時頃には帰りのバスに乗り、昼前にはホテルに到着。
チップはインストラクターに20＄、ドライバーに10＄渡しました。

This time, I participated in a movie location tour and a jungle tour. It was a lot of fun in the vast nature. The driver for the jungle tour was a woman who couldn't speak Japanese, and she lacked a bit of service spirit, which was a little disappointing. However, the jungle tour itself was enjoyable. Since it was in the jungle, the weather changed quickly, and it rained heavily, soaking my clothes.

今回は映画のロケ地ツアーやジャングルツアーに参加しました。広大な大自然の中、とても楽しかったです。ジャングルツアーは、日本語が話せない女性がドライバーでしたが、あまりサービス精神がなく、少し残念でした。ジャングルツアー自体は楽しかったです。ジャングルなので、天気が変わりやすく、凄い雨が降ったりして、洋服がびしょぬれになりました。

It was very relaxing and fun, would book again in the future!

I was wondering how one hour would be, but it felt short because it was so much fun. The scenery was also amazing! The guide spoke mostly in English, which was a bit confusing at first, but they were very friendly and had a great vibe, so it wasn't a problem at all.

1時間ってどうなんだろうって思ってましたが
楽しすぎて短く感じました。
景色も最高でした☆
ガイドさんが英語ばかりでちょっとって初めは戸惑ってしまったけどノリがよく全然苦にならないぐらいフレンドリーでした(^^)

What a fun and unique experience! We had a great time and our guide made the adventure even more memorable! Would definitely recommend this to everyone wanting to try something new and different!

Thank you for a wonderful day, filled with great family memories! The staff was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area. The food was tasty! We enjoyed all the picturesque views from the sand bar. The snorkeling was safe. I was one of the last passengers in the water and I was still able to spot a great amount of marine life! Overall this activity was a family favorite!

We had such a blast! I was a little worried that it was just going to be a float in water from point A to B. But boy was I wrong! We had the beat guide Jonny! He was so much fun and knowledgeable about the island. Going through the tunnels were more amazing than I thought and never once did we feel claustrophobic. Next time we go we are taking the rest of our kids so they will get to experience this

I participated with three friends! The approach was very polite and friendly, and we were able to get on right away! I definitely want to participate again!

友人３人と参加しました‼️
とにかく丁寧なアプローチしてもらい、とてもフレンドリーな感じで、すぐに乗ることができました！また、参加したいとおもいます‼️

It was really cold. I asked for some photos to be taken, but unfortunately, a lot of other participants ended up in the background. The food was okay, but it was cold, and overall, I couldn't enjoy it. Given that, the price was too high.

とにかく寒かったです。写真もお願いして撮ってもらったけど、後ろに他の参加者が大量に写っていた残念でした。ご飯はまあまあ美味しかったけど、寒いし全体的には楽しめませんでした。その割に値段が高過ぎる。
