All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This excursion was good fun for even us 66-70 year olds gals. Loved Sophia our leader with her historic references and information. The tubing had both relaxed but quick moving parts along with tunnels where it’s a bit like twirling bumper cars. Lots of laughing along the way. Depth is approximately 3-4 feet deep. The guides stayed with us and quickly fixed any bottle neck problems. Will do this again next with my husband and daughter.

When I go to Hawaii, I always end up on a catamaran. It's great to spend an hour and a half cruising the open sea while enjoying drinks. This time, one of the female staff members cast a fishing line, and towards the end, she caught an impressive big fish, which was quite a surprise!

ハワイへ行くとカタマランにはのってしまいます。ぼっと１時間半大海原をまわり飲んでも良し。今回途中スタッフの一人の女性が釣り糸をいれたらラスト近くすごい大物がびっくり

It was a nice way to experience the Wailau River. The crew was great and entertaining.

The banana boat can hold six people, and while it goes fast, it's not so fast that you'll be thrown off, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

We happened to see a lot of honu (sea turtles), so we were able to see them up close. They said we were lucky, so it might be rare to see them.

Other activities (like canoeing) may have limited availability, so you might need to wait your turn.

However, since we had plenty of time, there was no need to rush.

バナナボートは6人乗りで、スピードは速いけど振り落とされるような速さではないので、安心して楽しめる。

たまたまホヌがいっぱいいたので、近くで見ることが出来た。
運がいいと言っていたので、中々見ることが出来ないのかも？

他のアクティビティ(カヌーなど)は、数に限りがあるので、順番待ちする必要があるかもしれません。

ただ時間に余裕があったので、そんなに焦る必要はない。

The buggy experience was a lot of fun! The driving time was surprisingly long, and the range of activities was wide, making it enjoyable.

However, the dust was intense, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and you might want to bring skincare products like facial cleansers as well.

バギーの体験はとても楽しかった！
運転時間が意外と長くて、行動範囲が広いので楽しい。

ただ砂埃がすごい、全身砂だらけで汚れた服で行った方がいいし、顔も洗顔などのスキンケア商品を持って行った方がいいかもしれません。

I was able to see both sea turtles and dolphins. I was also hoping to see tropical fish while snorkeling, but that didn't happen.

ウミガメもイルカも見ることができました。シュノーケリングで熱帯魚を見ることも期待しておりましたが、それはかないませんでした。

Two first-time participants.
The staff on board were very friendly, and we had a great time.
There were some changes from last time, and it was meaningful to participate!

初参加２名。
船中のスタッフは、とってもフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。
前回と少しずつ変化していてそれなりに参加することに意義あり！でした。

It was fun...
A continuous thrill and excitement. The time flew by in an instant.
Next year, I will take my grandchildren with me.

楽しくて・・・・・
ハラハラ・ドキドキの連続。あっという間の時間でした。
来年度は、孫たちも連れて行きます。

I participated in my wife's 60th birthday celebration. The highlight was definitely enjoying a Mai Tai and beer while feeling the refreshing sea breeze all around me, and witnessing the enchanting sunset—it was truly moving. The staff's enthusiasm also contributed to making it an incredibly fun experience! I will definitely participate again!

妻の還暦記念で参加しました。
何と言っても醍醐味は、爽やかな潮風を全身で感じながら飲むマイタイ、ビールそして幻想的なサンセットを目の当たりにして「感動」の一言に尽きます。
スタッフの方々の盛り上げもあり、最高に楽しかったです！
また参加します！！

We visited the heavenly sea to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. The tide was high, so we couldn't do the sandbar walk, but we enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. I was also very satisfied to encounter a HONU! I will participate again!

妻の還暦記念で天国の海を訪れました。
潮位が高く、サンドバーウォークは叶いませんでしたが、サップとシュノーケリングで楽しみました。
ＨＯＮＵと出会うこともでき大満足でした！

We participated as a family! My high school and middle school sons were hesitant to join, but once they got on the canoe and rode the waves, they shouted that it was amazing!! It feels really great, so if you're unsure, I definitely recommend participating!

家族で参加しました！
高校生と中学生の息子は参加を渋ってましたが、実際にカヌーに乗って波に乗ると最高と叫んでいました！！
本当に気持ち良いので迷ったらぜひ参加をお勧めします！

The pickup was on time, and during the ride, they shared various stories about Hawaii's history and buildings. Before I knew it, we arrived at the Dole Plantation. After we arrived, they also guided us to the ticket booth for the train, which was very helpful! The scenery of the North Shore was amazing too! Thank you very much!

We had a wonderful experience with our adult children on this tubing adventure and are planning a second trip with some friends. It's an easy and enjoyable experience that's different from other tubing adventures. We highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience, the whole process is smooth, the staff are friendly and accommodating

This tour was amazing and so much fun. The tour guides were fantastic. The views of Oahu while ziplining and on the platforms were stunning. I have ziplined in NZ & Fiji but this would be my favourite. The ATV ride was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this tour.

It was amazing! We really enjoyed all the different food that was served. Our server was awesome! We loved him!! It was fun watching all the dances.

The staff were friendly, and I had a great experience. This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii; I used a different company last time, and compared to them, the number of photos taken and the variety of shots were very limited, which was disappointing.

スタッフの方も気さくで、楽しい体験ができました。ハワイでのパラセーリングは2回目で、前回は別の会社を利用しましたが、そちらに比べて写真を撮ってくれた枚数や撮影のバリエーションが非常に少なく残念でした。

Snorkeling and ocean leisure activities (such as banana boat rides, boating, and stand-up paddleboarding) are included, making it enjoyable for a variety of people. The snorkeling area is very shallow, so even those who are not good swimmers can enjoy it safely. The staff is friendly and speaks both Japanese and English.

シュノーケルと海のレジャー（バナナボート、ボートやサップ等）がついていて色々な人が楽しめます。シュノーケルもとても浅いエリアなので、泳ぎが苦手でも全然安全に楽しめます。スタッフは日本語、英語ともにOKでフレンドリーです

It was a tour where I could do everything I wanted at once: exploring sandbars, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling. The staff was friendly and accommodating in both English and Japanese, which made me feel very secure. Meals and drinks were included, and I could also experience the atmosphere of international cuisine.

サンドバー散策、うみがめ観察、シュノーケルとやりたいことが一度でできるツアーでした。スタッフも親切で英語も日本語にも対応しているのでとても安心です。食事や飲み物も含まれていて海外の食事の雰囲気も感じられます

It was my first time paragliding. I had a wonderful experience in favorable weather. The two guys were very friendly and communicated in English, explaining things with clear gestures. The wind on the boat was pleasant, and the scenery was amazing.

パラセイリング初めてでした。
天候に恵まれた中で、素敵な体験をすることができました。お兄さん２人も、英語でのコミュニケーションでしたが、とてもフレンドリーで、わかりやすいジェスチャーを入れながら説明してくれました。
ボートでの風も気持ちよく、景色も最高でした。

The staff was very cheerful and kind. However, the size of the snorkeling set did not fit at all, and also, this might be unavoidable, but I was confused by how deep the tide was, more than I had imagined. If I could have received a briefing on snorkeling or the tide conditions the day before or just before departure, I might have been better prepared mentally...

スタッフの方はとっても明るくて親切にしてくださいました。
ただ、シュノーケルセットの大きさがまったく合わなかったのと、あと、これは仕方がないかもしれませんが、想像以上に潮が深くて、困惑しました。
前日直前や出発前の事前に、シュノーケルのレクチャーとか、潮の状況とか、きかせてもらえたら、心の準備ができたかも…

It was my first time snorkeling.
Since it was a program to interact with living creatures, I didn't have high expectations, but I encountered turtles twice.
I will remember them vividly.
They were very cute.
All four guides were extremely kind.
I think it's a good idea for those who are not good at swimming to definitely declare their need for a life vest.

初めてのシュノーケリングでした。
生き物と触れ合うプログラムなので、期待はあまりしていませんでしたが、亀に2度遭遇。
目に焼きつけました。
とても可愛かったです。
ガイド4名みなさん大変親切でした。
泳ぐのが苦手な方は必ずライブベスト申告するのが良いかと思います。

It was my first time going to Hawaii, so I joined a tour! Thanks to a guide who was fluent in Japanese, I was able to enjoy everything from the classic spots to the more niche ones!

ハワイに行くのは初めてだったので、ツアーに参加しました！王道なところからマニアックなところまで、日本語が上手なガイドさんのおかげで楽しむことができました！

I'm not a fan of the feeling of free-fall attractions, but I only felt that during the parachute time! I was nervous and scared when jumping out of the plane, but just about two seconds after jumping, it quickly turned into "fun, exhilarating, and incredibly beautiful!"

The female instructor who accompanied me was very kind and spoke to me in simple Japanese to accommodate my lack of English skills. I felt a bit nauseous during the parachute ride, and she handed me an etiquette bag at that moment!

The staff were really great, making it a safe and enjoyable experience that will be a lifelong memory! For those considering skydiving, I definitely recommend "Go Jump HAWAII"!

絶叫のアトラクションのフワってなる感じが苦手だけど、それを感じたのはパラシュートの時間だけ！！飛行機から降りるときはドキドキで怖かったけど、降りて2秒ぐらいしたら一気に「楽しい・気持ちいい・めっちゃ綺麗」に変わった！
一緒についてくれた女性のインストラクターも英語を喋れない自分に合わせて慣れない日本語で話してくれてとても親切だし、パラシュートで少し気持ち悪くなっちゃってその時にエチケット袋を渡してくれました！
とてもいいスタッフの方たちで安心して楽しく、一生の思い出になる体験ができました！
スカイダイビングを考えてる人たちはぜひ「Go Jump HAWAII」をおすすめします！

Among the many tours available, I chose this one because it focuses on two locations and ends early in the afternoon, which was very appealing. In the end, it was a great decision.

Our driver, Lola, was very friendly and provided various information during the ride. She spoke very clear English, so even those who are not familiar with the language can participate without any issues. She also clearly communicated the return times to the bus, which was reassuring.

Before heading to the Dole Plantation, we had a sightseeing stop in downtown and visited the King Kamehameha statue. During the ride, we were offered malasadas from Kamehameha Bakery and water, which were delicious.

We arrived at Dole before it opened, and Lola accompanied us to the ticket booth. We were the first to ride the Pineapple Express train.

Additionally, since Royal Star Hawaii was the organizer, they informed us that by showing our tour guest sticker, we could get one free topping for the pineapple ice and a 25% discount on shopping at the Dole Plantation, which was a great deal.

Later, on the North Shore, Lola recommended some great shops, and I really appreciated her generous service.

During our trip, the bus stopped at Haleiwa Town Center, making it very convenient to visit places like Surf & Sea, Alii Beach Park, and Camaron Shrimp Truck.

On the way back, she continued to provide sightseeing information and safely drove us back to our hotel. The tour ended around 3:00 PM, so we were able to enjoy it without getting tired.

盛りだくさんのツアーがあるなかで、このツアーは2か所に絞って午後の早い時間に終わるのが魅力で申し込みました。結果、大正解でした。
ドライバーさんのローラさん(Lola）はとてもフレンドリーで車内で色々と案内してくれました。また、とても聞き取りやすい英語を話してくださるので英語が不慣れな方でも参加問題ありません。バスに戻りの時間もはっきりと教えてくれるので、安心できます。
ドール園に向かう前に、ダウンタウン観光やカメハメハ大王像での降りての観光がありました。車中では「カメハメハ・ベーカリー」マラサダとお水を提供してくれ、美味しくいただきました。
ドールでは開園前に到着しチケット売り場までローラさんが付いてきてくださいました。そして一番にパイナップルトレインに乗ることができました。
また、ロイヤルスター観光が主催者だったのですが、ツアー客のステッカーを提示するとパイナップルアイスのトッピングがどれでも一つ無料になる事やドール園でのお買い物が25％オフになることを教えてくれたのでとてもお得になりました。
その後のノースショアではお勧めのお店を紹介してくれたりとサービス精神豊富なローラさんに感謝です。
私たちの時はバスをハレイワタウンセンターに停めたので、サーフ＆シー、アリイ・ビーチパーク、Camaron Shrimp Truckなどの行くのにとても便利でした。
帰りも車中から観光案内してくださり、安全運転でホテルまで送ってもらいました。ツアー終了後でも15：00ぐらいでしたので、疲れることなく楽しめました。

There were several groups of Japanese people, so we were also provided with a guide in Japanese! The guide was very kind, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind! I was completely satisfied with the view from the summit, the sunset, and the night sky!

日本人のグループが複数いたので、日本語でのガイドもしていただけました！
ガイドさんは親切な方で、安心して楽しめました！
山頂からの景色、夕日、夜空全てに大満足です！

Tour consists of sandbar and coral reef with amazing burger lunch in-between. All gears for snorkeling were provided as well

I knew in advance that the tide wouldn't go below zero, but on this day, it felt like the tide was gradually rising. It was fun to do various activities like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many of them came close.

潮位がマイナスにならないことは事前に分かっていたのですが、この日は段々潮位が上がっていく感じでした。
サップやカヤックなど、いろいろなアクティビティができて楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、餌のパンをもらえて、魚がたくさん寄ってきます。

I initially thought about going with a four-wheeler, but the kids said it would be boring since they couldn't drive themselves, so we chose this instead. It was my first time on an e-bike, and I was worried, but there was practice at the beginning, and my middle school and upper elementary school daughters had no problems. The guide was a really nice person, and his explanations were interesting with jokes mixed in. He took a lot of great photos at the photo spots. It was late August in the afternoon, and I was concerned about the heat, but there were many clouds that day, so it was fine.

最初は四輪バギーにしようと思っていたのですが、子供たちが自分で運転できないのはつまらないというので、こちらにしました。Eバイクは初めてなので心配でしたが、最初に練習もあり、中学生と小学校高学年の娘でも問題なかったです。
ガイドさんがとてもいい人で、解説もジョークを交えて面白かったし、フォトスポットでは映える写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。
8月下旬の午後で、暑さが心配でしたが、当日は雲が多くて大丈夫でした。

There were many people, so we split into two boats. We could choose whichever one we liked. During swimming time, we had fun sliding down a short slide into the sea, jumping off the boat, and riding on a rubber boat connected to the boat by a rope. I was also happy to see dolphins.

人数が多かったので、2艘の船に分かれました。好きな方を選べました。
スイミングの時間には、短いスライダーで海に滑り落ちたり、船から飛び込んだり、船とロープでつながってるビニールボートに乗ったりして楽しめました。
イルカが見られたのも嬉しかったです。
