All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

It was our first time going to Hawaii as a couple. It was also our first time climbing Mauna Kea. We joined a tour that offered a wonderful sunset and stargazing experience, along with detailed explanations, delicious sandwiches, and warm cocoa. Being able to share this experience together created the best memories for us. We completely forgot about our daily lives and enjoyed every moment. We are truly grateful. Thank you very much.

夫婦でハワイに行くのは初めてでした。
マウナケアに登るのも当然初めて。
ツアーに参加して、素敵な夕日と星空の観測丁寧な説明、おいしいサンドイッチ、温かいココア、2人で来れたこと最高の思い出になりました。日常の日々を全部忘れて満喫できました。感謝しかないです。ありがとうございます。

Since it was a solo trip to Hawaii, I participated alone, but I enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking. Being an older lady, it was challenging to get into the kayak, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to get on safely, which was great. All the staff were very friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

ひとりでのハワイ旅だったのでひとりで参加したがシュノーケリングやカヤックを楽しんだ。おばちゃんなのでカヤックに乗るのが大変だったが親切なスタッフのおかげで無事に乗れたのはよかった。スタッフのみんながとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごせた。

It was supposed to be a straight-forward excursion... pick us up, drop us off, pick us up again. However, our driver (unfortunately, I did not get his name) was such a hoot!!! At 5am, he had an energy and attitude that made everyone in the bus a little bit happier The pickup was quick and efficient. The driver made every stop an occasion.

After checking in at the local office, we selected our rain gear (top and bottom) and helmets, and then we all departed by bus. The gentleman in charge of the local reception was incredibly busy, handling everything from check-in to driving the bus all by himself. It took about an hour and a half to reach the summit, where we waited for the sunrise. Watching the sun rise majestically from below the sea of clouds was both awe-inspiring and mystical. However, it was extremely cold for about 30 minutes during this time, and even with thermal underwear and a down jacket, I was freezing. After the sun came up, we took the bus down a bit further, and finally it was time for downhill cycling! We divided into teams for introductions, and just as we were about to start, it suddenly began to rain. We ended up soaking wet during the downhill ride, but it was a lot of fun descending the mountain. The scenery was completely white, so I would love to have a chance to do it again.

現地事務所で受付後、雨具（上下）やヘルメットのサイズを合わせて選んで、皆でバスで出発。現地の受付担当のおじさまが、なんとワンオペで、受付からバスの運転まで忙しくこなされていました。１時間半ほどで山頂に着き、日の出を待つのですが、だんだんと雲海の下から太陽が昇ってくる姿は荘厳で神秘的でした。ただ、この間約30分は超寒く、極暖アンダーウエア＋ダウンジャケットでも凍えました。日が上がってから、少し下までバスで下って、いよいよダウンヒルサイクリング！チームに分かれて自己紹介し、いよいよスタートというところで、急に雨が降ってきました。ずぶぬれのダウンヒルとなりましたが、とても楽しく山を下ることができましたが、景色は真っ白でしたので、機会があればリベンジしたいです。

We ranged in age from 5 to 65 and had a great time, the guide was very knowledgeable and told of lots of interesting things.

The morning tour was fully booked, so I joined the afternoon tour. The afternoon was perfect for snorkeling, and I had a great time. The atmosphere on the boat and the staff were kind, and I truly made wonderful memories.

午前のツアーは空きが無く、午後のツアーに参加しました。
午後はシュノーケリングするのには最適で、ずっと楽しめました。
船の中の雰囲気やスタッフの方も優しくて、本当にいい思い出が出来ました。

It was an amazing tour ...the staff is super friendly and the small group mad it so privat ....we had just a wonderful time

Most of the tour was a long bus ride. The scenery was quite lovely, but we didn’t stop very much. The lighthouse was so far away that it was not easy to get a truly good photo. The movie site portion was showing us videos on the bus but hardly seeing the actual sights. Saw Princeville from the bus. Chocolate factory was, in my opinion, a waste of time. Hanalei was a cute town, but once lunch was done, it was just another shopping center.
Sorry.

It was beautiful and informative. We had a great guide too. Highly recommend.

Had a great time with our instructor and tour guide. He made it very easy very quick to get in the park. Usually when you go to a new place, you don’t know where you’re going. Told us where to go. What to do pick us up. Drop us off skip some lines. It was just an awesome time. Had a blast definitely would recommend my nephew and his wife are coming next month and I am telling him to go nowhere else.Veltra

I have experienced this cruise four times with my kids, including the second one, and the view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing! The crew is friendly and kind! You can have the best experience at a reasonable price.

このクルーズはⅡも含めて4回子供達と体験していますが、海側からのワイキキの景観が素晴らしい👍クルーもフレンドリーで親切！
リーズナブルに最高の経験ができます。

The food was well prepared, authentic Hawaiian cuisine. The show was excellent.

The 4-wheel buggy rides over some pretty bumpy roads, so there is quite a bit of vibration, but it was fun. It takes you through various courses on a wide ranch. However, the explanations are only in English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, which was disappointing.

4輪バギーはかなり凸凹な道も走るのでかなり振動がありますが、面白かったです。
広い牧場のなかをいろいろなコースに連れて行ってくれます。
ただせっかくの説明が英語のみなので、何を言っているのかさっぱりわからないので、そこが残念でした。

This was one of the most memorable tours during my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. The view of Mauna Kea bathed in the sunset was truly magical, and the sunset seen from above the clouds was indescribably beautiful.

The stargazing that followed was also fantastic, with the guide's explanations being very clear, allowing us to learn about the stars and Hawaiian culture in a fun way. There were so many stars visible to the naked eye, it was astonishing.

They provided warm clothing and meals, which made it easy to participate, and the consideration for acclimatizing to the high altitude was thoughtful, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout.

ハワイ島旅行の中でも特に印象に残ったツアーでした。
夕日に染まるマウナケアの景色は本当に幻想的で、雲の上から見るサンセットは言葉にならない美しさでした。

その後の星空観測も素晴らしく、ガイドさんの説明がとても分かりやすく、星やハワイの文化について楽しく学ぶことができました。肉眼でも驚くほどたくさんの星が見えました。

防寒具や食事も用意されていて安心して参加できましたし、高山に慣れるための配慮も丁寧で、終始快適でした。

You can solve all the hassle of advance reservations, transportation, parking, ticket purchases on-site, and video viewing. If you're going to Hanauma Bay, this tour is cost-effective, safe, and reliable. At Hanauma Bay, you can see many fish while snorkeling, so we rented just the snorkeling gear on-site and had a great experience with the family.

面倒な事前予約、交通、駐車場、現地でのチケット購入とビデオ視聴が全て解決できます。
ハナウマ湾へ行くならこのツアーがコスパもよく安心で確実です。
ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリングでたくさんの魚が見れるので、シュノーケルだけ現地でレンタルし、家族で楽しい経験ができました。

Although the ticket price is not cheap, it was a stage worth paying for. The performers' physical abilities were astonishing, and the stage composition continually heightened the audience's expectations leading up to the finale. It wasn't just a show to watch; it was a stage that invited the audience to participate and create memories together, making it perfect for creating the best memories in Hawaii.

チケット代は安くは無いものの、その値段を払う価値のあるステージだった。
パフォーマーの身体能力には驚きの連続で、ステージ構成も観客の期待値をラストに向けてどんどん強くさせるものだった。
ただ見るだけでなく、観客をステージに招いて一緒に舞台を作るなど、ハワイでの最高の記憶作りにもってこいの舞台だった。

This time, I participated with my son and his wife because I wanted to show them the breathtaking view from the summit of Mauna Kea. The scenery at the observation site felt like stepping into the universe, and I’m really glad we chose to see the starry sky on a new moon night. I thought it would only be in English, but I was very happy that explanations were also provided in Japanese. Thank you very much.

今回息子夫婦にマウナケア山頂の感動を見せたくて一緒に参加しました。
宇宙の中に降り立ったようなマウナケアに観測地の風景がとても感動的で、新月を選んで見た満点の星空にも参加を決めて良かったです。
英語ガイドだけと思っていたのに、日本語でも説明して頂き、とても嬉しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

It was great to enjoy the powerful scenery along with the buggy. The guide was very good at getting everyone excited, took a lot of photos, and created many fun moments. We visited many filming locations, which was a wonderful experience. I wish I could have enjoyed it even more if I understood English better.

迫力のある景色をバギーとともに楽しめるのがとても良かったです。
ガイドさんもとても盛り上げ上手で、写真もたくさんとってくださり、楽しい時間をたくさん作ってくれました。
映画の撮影地をたくさん巡ってくださり、とても良い経験でした
英語がわかればもっと楽しめたなぁと思います。

I had no problems at all and used the Pink Line comfortably around Waikiki. However, once you go a bit further out, the bus stops can be very hard to find. Without the Lealea mark and with some discrepancies on the map, I felt quite anxious waiting, unsure if I was at the right stop.

ワイキキ周辺やピンクラインも利用出来るので全く問題なく快適に利用しました。
ちょっと郊外に行くとバス停が非常にわかりにくい。
レアレアのマークがないのと地図と若干違いもあり待っていても合っているのか非常に不安でした

Plan to get wet! Our guides were great and knowledgeable.

Our guide was absolutely great! He was fun to be with. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not very cooperative, as it was very overcast/cloudy. No stargazing at the top or at the lower level was possible. Sunset was also disappointing. We did get to wander around some awesome telescopes. We were told we would each get a rebate on our charge, but that hasn't shown up on our account yet. But, we did have fun w/ our fellow excursionists, and as I stated at the beginning, our guide was great! Back at the bottom, he did take some time to show us some stars and constellations that became visible.

The Old Lahaina Luau was a culinary and entertainment delight. The beach setting is beautiful and all of the staff were great. The history told through the stunning hula was captivating. I recommend for anyone visiting Maui.

This is my second time participating. The singing voices of the two performers on the boat are simply amazing!! While I had fun snorkeling and playing with the fish, I can't forget the live singing. I invited my friends who came with me this time so they could hear this beautiful singing too. The staff members were also kind, and I plan to go to Hawaii again in October this year for a solo trip, so I definitely want to participate even if I'm alone.

2回目の参加です。
船の中で歌ってくれるお2人の歌声がとにかく最高！！シュノーケルでお魚と戯れるのも楽しかったですが　私は生歌がとにかく忘れられなくて　今回一緒に行った友人達にもこの歌声を聞いてもらいたくて誘いました。スタッフの方々も親切で　今年　10月にもまた一人旅でハワイに行くつもりなので　これは1人でも参加したいです。

This is a must if you go to Hawaii, the ranch was awesome and I highly recommend it to all. Don’t miss it you will be disappointed! Once in a lifetime experience.

We traveled on a cruise ship while listening to live music. We stopped in water that was about waist-deep, enjoyed snorkeling and feeding the fish, and then explored by riding kayaks and canoes. After that, we were taken by motorboat to see sea turtles. There were far more tropical fish than at Hanauma, and the sea was beautiful, which was great.

クルーズ船で生演奏聴きながら移動。腰くらいの深さのところで停泊し、シュノーケリング、魚に餌やりなどで楽しみ、カヤックやカヌーに乗って周遊。その後、モーターボートです海亀を見に連れてってくれます。
ハナウマのよりもはるかに熱帯魚多くて海も綺麗で良かったです。

Great staff, great views and great experience!!!!

Among the 12 tour participants, we were the only two Japanese. The sunset and moon telescope observation were great. Since we knew from the beginning that it was an English tour, it couldn't be helped, but it would have been nice if important information about altitude acclimatization had been provided in Japanese. It was disappointing not to understand the introduction to the Big Island and the details of the stargazing due to the language barrier. I hope more Japanese participants join in again, and that Japanese tours will resume.

ツアー客12名の中で日本人は私たち2人だけでした。
夕陽と月の望遠鏡観察は良かったです。
始めから英語ツアーと分かっていたので、仕方ないですが、大切な高度適応対応などは日本語で教えてくださいました。
英語が分からず、ハワイ島の紹介や星空観察の詳細が分からないのは残念でした。
日本人がまた増えて、日本語ツアーが再開されるといいですね。

It was nice they gave us bread to give to the fish :)

Food was very good and the service was great. Not a traditional beach Luau but still worth while.

Thank you very much for today.
I was supposed to join the Diamond Head hiking tour the day before, but… various things happened 😭
However, today I was guided by Ryota, and I made up for what I missed yesterday 💞
It was incredibly fun!!
As a senior who can't speak English, I was relieved to have the guidance in Japanese, which really boosted my spirits 👍
I'm glad I asked Ryota for help.
The only regret I have is that I forgot to take a picture with the handsome Ryota… 💧

本日はありがとう御座いました
前日、ダイヤモンド・ヘッド登山ツアーに参加するはずが…いろいろありまして😭
でも今日Ryotaさんに案内してもらい、昨日の分取り戻しました💞
サイコーに楽しかった!!
英語ができないシニアなので、日本語での案内ホッとしてテンションが上がりました👍
Ryotaさんにお願いして良かったです
心残りは、イケメンなRyotaさんと写真を撮るの忘れたこと…💧
