All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I went with my one-year-old son and my husband!
On the way, there happened to be an accident, and what was supposed to be a one-and-a-half-hour bus ride took two and a half hours...
Some people took a break, but the guide's stories were so interesting that the two hours turned into a fun journey.

Once we arrived, we immediately had lunch!
The crab was delicious, and I recommend the calamari rings.

Everyone was kind and spoke to the children, and after lunch, we enjoyed desserts from the shops and stalls.
I recommend the pineapple soft serve!

And finally, it was showtime.
We were in the fourth row in the center!
This show can be enjoyed from both the center and the sides.
There were lots of music and dances switching at a great pace, and my son enjoyed it without fussing!

Even if he cried, I don't think it would stand out.

We went to see other shows, but I overwhelmingly recommend this one.
The number of performers and the content of the show are just too amazing, so I want to go on the afternoon tour next time!

一歳の息子と夫と3人で行きました！
行きのバスはたまたま事故があり、1時間半の予定が2時間半かかりました…
お休みされる方もいらっしゃいましたが
ガイドさんの話しがとにかく面白く
2時間も楽しい移動になりました(^^)

そして現地に着いたら
すぐご飯を食べました！
カニ　美味しいです、私はイカリングがおすすめです。

皆さん子どもに優しく声をかけてくれたり
ご飯の後はお店や屋台のデザートを食べました。
パイナップルのソフトクリームおすすめです！

そしていよいよショータイム　
私たちは真ん中の4列目でした！
このショーは真ん中でも横からでも楽しめます。
たくさんのミュージックや踊りがいいテンポで切り替わり　息子はぐずることもなく　楽しんでました！

もし泣いたとしても目立つことはないと思いますよ^_^

他のショーを見に行きましたが
圧倒的にこちらをお勧めします。
人数やショーの内容が最高すぎるので
次は昼からのツアーに行きたいです！

I participated with my husband, two friends, a friend's wife, and their parents, making a total of seven people. The tide was about knee-deep. The captain's wife, who was three months pregnant, was very hospitable! The parents were a bit hesitant about going into the water, so after the BBQ, they asked if we wanted to go for a drive and took us on a small boat to a spot with a heart-shaped coral! This was my third time, and I definitely want to go again!

主人とお友達2人とお友達の奥様とご両親
7人で参加しました。
潮位は膝下位でしたね。
キャプテンの奥様　3人目で大きなお腹でとっても良くおもてなししてくれました！ご両親は海に入るのが少し苦手でBBQの後船に居ると　ドライブどう？
と言って小型船に乗せてくれてサンゴのハートマークが有る所まで連れて行ってくれました！
今回3回めでしたがまた行きたいな！

I received treatment in a calm and quiet store. Since it was a detox Lomi Lomi, they kindly provided paper underwear in case I was concerned about my underwear getting wet from sweating. I lay down on a warm bed, and they carefully massaged my shoulders, lower back, and calves. I had been suffering from shoulder stiffness due to desk work, but by the end of the treatment, I felt refreshed and my body felt lighter. When I come to Hawaii again, I would like to request Lomi Lomi on my last day.

　ゆっくりと静かな店内で 施術頂きました。
　デトックスロミロミとの事で、「汗で下着の濡れが気になるようでしたら」と、紙パンツを用意いただけたのでよかったです。
　温かい ベットに横になり、肩・腰とふくらはぎを丁寧にマッサージ。
　デスクワークのため肩こりが特にひどかったのですが、施術が終わるころにはすっきりとして 体が軽くなりました。
　また ハワイに来た際は、最終日に ロミロミをお願いしたいと思っております。

Polynesian center was amazing. Had a private group tour which took us through the best activities of a few islands. Was not able to see all of the islands like the itinerary stated there just want time. Luau and fire show was included. Also with this package the Polynesian center will give you an additional 3 day pass to
Come back and see anything you missed. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, it was held indoors due to strong winds. It's just bad luck. There's no helping it. The indoor setting lacked the excitement. The standard seats were quite far away. The show at a certain indoor pool in Japan was more impressive.

It was helpful that children could go and get the buffet food. Also, it was great to see the fire show, which I thought we wouldn't be able to see indoors.

あいにくの強風で室内での開催となりました。これは運ですね。仕方ないです。室内での開催は、迫力に欠けます。スタンダード席からは遠かったです。日本の某室内プールのショーの方が迫力がありますした。
ブッフェ料理は、子供から取りに行けたのは助かりました。また、室内では見れないと思っていたファイヤーショーが見れたのは良かったです。

I was worried about the rain when I heard it was the rainy season, but it turned out to be a great experience! There were many participants, and we went with two boats—one was just for Japanese people, and the other had participants from various countries (including Japanese), so even those who are not confident in English can enjoy it. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and the hamburgers were very delicious and amazing!

雨期ときいて雨が心配でしたが、それ以上にいい体験ができたツアーでした！参加者が多く、船2隻でいきましたがひとつは日本人だけ、もう一つは国際的にさまざな国から(日本人もok)の参加者の船でしたので英語が不安な方も楽しめます。ウミガメもたくさんみれましたし、ハンバーガーもとても美味しくて最高でした！

This time, I signed up my son, a high school baseball player who has enjoyed staying in Hawaii since childhood, hoping he would enjoy some sports that are a bit more Hawaiian.

When we entered the shop, we were welcomed by friendly staff, and the procedures went smoothly even without Japanese.

The lesson was a group session, and it seems he was able to have a great time with everyone gathered there.

As I watched my son paddle out for the first time on the gentle waves, I regretted not participating myself. Among the participants, there were families (fathers and sons) enjoying the lesson together. It was a nice lesson where even the time spent watching was enjoyable, and the staff's support was excellent. My son mentioned that next time, he would prefer a private lesson.

Much Mahalo♪

今回は幼少時よりハワイ滞在を楽しんできた高校球児である息子に
「少しはハワイっぽいスポーツも楽しんで欲しい」と、申し込みました。
ショップに入るとフレンドリーなスタッフさんにお迎えされて日本語が無くても諸手続きはスムーズに完了。

レッスンはグループレッスンでしたが、その場に集う皆さんと
楽しく過ごすことができたようです。

穏やかな波間に初めてパドリングで漕ぎ出す息子を眺めながら
親である私も参加すればよかった、と後悔。
参加者の中にはご家族（父子）でレッスンを楽しんでいる方もいらっしゃいました。
眺めている時間も楽しめる、スタッフの対応もナイスなレッスンでした。
息子は次回、プライベートレッスンがいいな、と申しておりました。

Much Mahalo♪

I was a bit concerned that activities might be too challenging for someone in their 60s, but I got to see sea turtles and even tried paddle surfing. Floating with a ring was the best! Justin was great at getting everyone excited, and the crew was very kind. I would recommend this to my friends in their 60s.

60代のアクティビティーには厳しいかなと思っての参加でしたが、
ウミガメもみたし、パドルサーフィンにも挑戦。浮き輪でぷかぷかも最高でした。ジャスティン、盛り上げ上手で楽しさ爆発！クルーの方もとても親切でした。60代の友人に勧めめす。

I was picked up a little after 4 PM. I felt reassured because there was a Japanese person on the bus. The location is about 1 to 1.5 hours away from Waikiki, and it can take up to 2 hours depending on the situation, but since the roads were clear, we arrived in just a little over an hour both ways. On the way there, a Japanese person who seemed to be a guide shared interesting tidbits about Hawaii. There were also filming spots for movies along the way, and I got to hear about those as well. It was somewhat interesting, but I was sleepy and wanted to take a nap, so it was a shame I couldn't.

Upon arrival, I received a ticket for the show along with a meal voucher, and then I had free time until the show started. I decided to eat first and then spent the remaining time browsing souvenir shops. I had plenty of time to enjoy my meal leisurely before the show.

The buffet wasn't particularly amazing, but considering it's a tourist spot, it was about what I expected. There seemed to be courses with and without crab. I wasn't sure about the standard option when I made the reservation, but it did include crab.

The show lasted a little over an hour, and it was quite impressive. Regardless of the story, the power of the dance was breathtaking. They were dancing the whole time. The music and dance made me feel like I was always experiencing Hawaii, which was fun. The fire dance, in particular, was incredible. It was the first time I saw such a large group perform, and I was moved.

My seat was in the front, about the 10th row. It was a designated seat chosen for us, so there was no need to rush to grab a seat. I thought the 10th row wasn't that close, but it turned out to be just fine. It wasn't too far away, and I had no issues seeing everything. It’s definitely better to see it from the front rather than the back, as you get a better view and more impact.

Honestly, I thought that spending this much money to go so far might not be worth it, especially since there are dinner shows in Waikiki that might be better. However, I was glad I went. The scale of the show is different. Personally, I love shows, so I was really satisfied that I went.

Unfortunately, it was the rainy season during my trip, but I think this is enjoyable even in the rain. I believe everyone should go at least once.

私は16時すぎのピックアップでした。日本人の方がバスに乗っていてくれたので安心でした。場所はワイキキから1時間〜1時間半離れている場所で、場合によっては2時間かかることもあるとのことでしたが、道がすいていたので行き帰りどちらも1時間ちょっとで到着しました。行きはガイドさん(のようなアルバイトの日本人の方)がずっとハワイの豆知識のような話をしてくれました。道中、映画の撮影スポットもありそういった話も聞けました。そこそこ面白いですが、眠くて寝ようと思っていたためそれができなかったのは残念でした。
到着するとショーのチケットと食事券が一緒になったものをもらってあとはショーの時間まで自由行動です。私は先にごはんにして余った時間でおみやげ屋さんを見て回りました。時間はゆっくりごはんを食べてもショーまでの時間があるくらい十分にもらえました。
ビュッフェは特別すごく美味しいという訳ではないですが、観光地のビュッフェだしこんなもんかなという感じです。問題はないです。カニは付いてるコースと付いてないコースがあるようです。スタンダード？にはついてないのかな？よくわからず予約したのですが、付いていました。
ショーは1時間ちょっとあったかな？だいぶ見応えありました。ストーリーはともかく、ダンスの迫力は圧巻です。とにかくずっと踊ってます。常にハワイを感じられる音楽やダンスが見れて、楽しかったです。特に火を使ったダンスはすごかったです。あんな大人数でやっているのは初めてみたので感動しました。
席は正面、前から10列目の席でした。勝手に選ばれているタイプの指定席です。早く行って席取りする必要はありません。10列目ってあんまり前じゃないな、、とか思ったけど、そんなことなかったです。遠すぎず、全然問題ありませんでした。後方で見るより、絶対前方で見たほうがよく見えるし迫力もあっておすすめです。
正直こんなにお金だして遠くまで行って見なくても、ワイキキならディナーショーもあるしそれの方がいいんじゃないかなって思っていました。
でも行って正解でした。規模が違います。個人的にショーが好きなので本当行ってよかったなと大満足でした。
残念ながら雨季での旅行だったのですが、これなら雨でも楽しめるのでいいと思います。
1度はぜひ行くべきだと思います。

In early March, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and participated in this optional tour. I was picked up at the hotel lobby around 9:30 and took about an hour bus ride to the port. I mostly slept during the ride, but it was enjoyable just to look at the scenery of Hawaii's nature and residential areas.

When we arrived at the port, we switched to a cruiser and set off for the sandbar! The weather was cloudy and rainy that day, and it was quite cold, reminiscent of winter in Hawaii. At the sandbar, we took photos, enjoyed beach volleyball, and spent our time freely. While we were having fun at the sandbar, the guide prepared BBQ hamburgers for us, and there were also pineapple sides, which made us very satisfied.

After that, we moved to a point where we could see sea turtles and went snorkeling! Since it was in a place where you couldn't touch the bottom, it might be scary for those who aren't used to it. (Of course, there were life jackets, and the guide was keeping a close watch!) On that day, some people were able to see sea turtles up close, so if you're lucky, you might see them too!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great for photos, but the guides were all wonderful, and overall, I was satisfied! I hope for better weather next time I go!

三月頭に新婚旅行でハワイに行き、オプショナルツアーとして本ツアーに参加しました。
9:30頃宿泊ホテルロビーにてピックアップされ、約一時間程度バスに乗って港へ向かいます。道中はほぼ寝ていましたが、ハワイの自然や住宅街の景色を眺めるだけでも楽しかったです♡
港に着くと、クルーザーに乗り換えサンドバーへいざ出発！
当日は曇ったり雨が降ったり…ハワイの冬並みの気温ということもありかなり寒かったです。。
サンドバーでは、写真を撮ったりビーチバレーをみんなで楽しんだり各々自由に過ごしました。サンドバーで楽しんでいる間にガイドさんがBBQハンバーガーを作ってくださり、パイナップルの付け合わせもあったりして大満足でした♡
それからウミガメが見れるポイントに異動し、シュノーケリング！！
足が着かないところでするため、慣れてない人は怖いかも。。（もちろんライフジャケット有でガイドさんが目を光らせてくれています！！）
当日は、ウミガメを間近で見られた方もいらっしゃり、運が良ければ見れるかも！？
天気が生憎だったため、写真映えはしませんでしたが、ガイドさんの方も良い方ばかりで、トータルとしては満足です！！
次回行くときは天気に恵まれることを期待します！！

During the meal, they entertained us with singing and dancing, and there was fan service during the show, which made the second-floor seats lively as well.

I heard that the content of the show changes little by little. I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii! ^_^

食事の際にも歌やダンスで盛り上げていただき、ショーでもファンサービスがあり2階席も盛り上がる事ができました。

ショーの内容も少しづつ変化すると聞きました。
またハワイに来た時は参加したいと思います^_^

Dan was our instructor. Awesome!! Cyndi was a first-timer; in fact, can not swim. Dan taught her how to be comfortable in the water, took her hand, guided her around the Bay. She loved it, sparked us on to additional snorkel trips on this vacation. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excursion for all qualities of snorkelers.

Our guide Kahleo was phenomenal! He made sure we enjoyed ourselves while remembering that this is a somber trip.
We had a fantastic lunch as well!

I cannot begin to tell you how great this cruise was! We went for my birthday. We had great food and drinks as well as a superior crew! The music felt like it was custom ordered.
Nick, Mash and Brad were terrific!
Do not miss an opportunity to take this trip!

You need to store your luggage in a locker ($5), but only for the two-hour course, you will receive a bag that can hold items on both sides of the saddle. You can use it for your smartphone, camera, drinks, and more. After watching the horse handling instructional video, we were finally off! I forgot to put my hat in the locker, but I was able to wear the helmet over my hat. My horse was at the front, and it seemed to remember the route well, so I let the horse lead the way. Occasionally, when it looked like we might stray off the path, a staff member would shout, "Right!" from behind. Along the way, we could see the ocean, enter areas where cows were grazing, pass filming locations, and enjoy a pleasant horseback ride in the vast nature. I have experienced horseback riding several times overseas, but this was my first time on such a long course, and it was a lot of fun. It was a bit cloudy that day, so it wasn't hot, which was nice.

荷物はロッカー（＄５）に預けなければいけませんが、2時間コースの場合のみ鞍の両側に物を入れられるバッグがつきます。
スマホ、カメラ、飲み物など入れられるので活用するとよいでしょう。
馬の操作の案内ビデオを見ていよいよ出発！
帽子をロッカーに入れるのを忘れましたが、帽子の上からヘルメットをかぶることができました。
私の馬が先頭だったのですが、ちゃんとルートを覚えているみたいで、馬任せに進んでいきます。
たまーに道をはずれそうになると後ろの方からスタッフの方が、「右～～！」とか叫んでました。(笑)
途中、海が見えたり、牛が放牧されている地域に入っていったり、ロケ地を通ったり、広大な自然の中、気持ちよい乗馬ができました。
海外で何度か乗馬を体験しましたが、こんなに長いコースをは初めてでとても楽しかったです。
この日は曇りがちだったので暑くもなく良かったです。

We had an great time and the staff was awesome. It was a beautiful evening on the water and enjoyed everyone on board.

Excellent experience, suitable for the first time snorkeling people.
Foods are staffs are amicable and knowledgeable.

If you want music, dancing, wind in your face, then you need to try this! Add to your experience, the maitai’s and fireworks, it turned out to be The start of a great night!

The views from the catamaran sail tour were outstanding. I saw two humpback whales breach. The crew was so friendly and helpful. It's a very popular tour, though, so book ahead on line to assure that you are able to have the experience. If your staying on Waikiki Beach, you can just walk down the beach to get on board. I would go again.

Friendly, knowledgeable, flexible.
Try to sit on the right hand side on the way down!

It was a recommended optional tour!
I was very satisfied to see many mother and baby whales!
The boarding time was ample, and I had a valuable experience.
If I have the opportunity to stay on Maui again, I would definitely like to rely on you!

オススメオプショナルツアーでした！
親子鯨が沢山見れて大変満足でした！
乗船時間もたっぷりで、貴重な体験が出来ました。
次回もマウイ島に滞在する機会があれば是非お世話になりたいです！

The scenery was amazing, and I had the rare experience of seeing sea turtles and pufferfish up close. The staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. I plan to participate again.

景色は最高だし、ウミガメやハリセンボンが間近で見られて、貴重な体験が出来ました。スタッフの方々の感じも良くて、ご飯もとても美味しかったです。また参加しようと思います。

The location for the picking was decided suddenly the day before, and I wasted an hour because I didn't check my email.
The parasailing itself was fun and wonderful!
Checking emails the day before is important! (^▽^)/

ピッキングの場所が急遽前日に決まりメールを見ていなかった為1時間時間を無駄にしました。
パラセーリング自体は楽しく素晴らしかったです！
前日のメール確認！重要です(^▽^)/

This wasn't my first time, but it was my companion's first time, so we opted for a group lesson. It felt a bit like an assembly line. The advice wasn't very targeted. I would have liked to have been kindly taught from the beginning, especially about how to avoid the waves for those who don't know.

自分は初めてじゃないですがお連れが初めてだったのでグループレッスンにしました。
流れ作業的な的感じでした。
的を射たアドバイスではなかった。
波のよけ方など知らない人に始めから親切に教えていただきたかった。

I participated in the sunset cruise on a catamaran. On the day of the event, we gathered at the catamaran booth located by the beachside of the Sheraton Hotel. There were already participants gathered, and once on board, there were about 40 people, creating a lively atmosphere.
It was an open bar, and the cocktail called Mai Tai was very delicious. I thought the drink list was also extensive and great.
The sunset was magnificent, and I was able to spend a wonderful time on the waters of Hawaii. It was a thoroughly satisfying two hours.

カタマラン号のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。当日はシェラトンホテルのビーチサイドにあるカタマランブース集合でした。既に参加者が集まっており、乗船すると40名程居て賑わっていました。
オープンバー方式となっていて、マイタイと呼ばれるカクテルがとても美味しかったです。ドリンクのリストも豊富で良かったと思います。
夕焼けも見事で、ハワイの海から素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。大満足の2時間でした。

Awesome experience. Guides are engaging and knowledgeable. The area is beautiful. It was so much fun flying!

We had a Japanese guide with us, and we were able to see a lot of whales! I wanted to see them a bit closer, but it's all about luck. I tend to get lost at the meeting point, so I went to check it out early, but it wasn't open. That made me a bit anxious.

日本人のガイドさんもついていただき、クジラは沢山観れました！
もう少し近くで観たかったけれど、それもこれも運ですね。
集合場所いつも迷子になるので、早めに一度観に行ったのですが、空いておらず。
そこが不安になりました。

The staff's energy was incredibly high, and I had a great time! It was an experience that felt longer than just 10 minutes. The morning view was amazing! The air felt great too. I am very satisfied! I heard that during the whale watching season, whales were actually below us while we were flying, but I didn't notice them, haha.

When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely plan to go parasailing. It was fine to attach a GoPro to my hand, so I was able to take lots of photos and videos! I think parasailing is something that families, friends, and couples can all enjoy. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

スタッフさんのノリがすごくテンションハイで　楽しめました！！
　10分とは思えない体験時間でした。
朝の景色　最高です☀️
空気も気持ち良いです
とても満足しています！！
クジラが見えるシーズンで実際に飛んでいる時に下にいたそうですが気づかなかったです笑

ハワイに訪れた際には必ずパラセーリングをしようと思いました。手にGoProつけても大丈夫だったので　写真や動画たくさん撮れました！
家族、友達、カップルもみなさんが楽しめれるパラセーリングだと思います。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました

The weather was clear, so the view was amazing. From Diamond Head, you can see Waikiki Beach, and when you look back, there's a vast horizon. The occasional breeze adds to the experience. You can also enjoy the impact of the water when you land. It was fine to attach a chest-mounted action camera over the vest. Handheld action cameras seem to be okay as well. Five groups boarded the yacht, but some people felt a bit seasick due to the rocking of the boat and the swaying in the air, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.

晴れていたため景色は最高でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキビーチの眺め、後ろを振りかえると一面の水平線、時折吹き付ける風もアトラクションとして楽しめます。着水の衝撃も楽しめます。
着用するベストの上から、胸につけるタイプのアクションカメラの装着も大丈夫でした。
手持ちアクションもOKのようです。
ヨットに5組が乗り込ましたが船の揺れや上空での揺れで少し酔われた方もいたため、事前に酔い止めの服用をオススメします。

We had an amazing time! Great all around experience and the crew was professional and very informative as well as tremendously fun to be around. Do not hesitate to jump aboard.
