All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The Napali Coast tour on a medium-sized boat is highly recommended. Since the boarding time is long, a small boat lacks a roof and has limited restroom facilities. With a large boat, you can't get close to the cliffs, and the boat speed is slow. A medium-sized boat offers the best of both worlds. We were able to go right under the waterfalls cascading from the cliffs and experience the spray. The captain navigated the boat professionally, and the two female staff members kept the atmosphere lively with their smiles. When we gave tips upon disembarking, all the staff responded with "thank you" in Japanese. We were also very satisfied and enjoyed the long tour with smiles. I highly recommend it.

ナパリコーストは中型船でのツアーがおすすめ。乗船時間が長いので小型船だと屋根がなくトイレも限定的。大型船だと岩壁近くに近寄れず船速も遅い。中型船は良いとこ取りです。岩壁から流れ落ちる滝の真下に入ってくれて滝に打たれることが出来ました。船長はプロフェッショナルな船裁き、女性2名の添乗スタッフも笑顔で適切に盛り上げてくれました。チップを下船時に渡したら、全スタッフから「ありがとう」の日本語が返ってきました。こちらも笑顔で大満足で長いツアーを楽しめました。おすすめです。

Highly recommend! Would do this again. Amazing time, great crew, and unforgettable experience!

I made a last-minute reservation for parasailing in the morning!

I was told that for an additional $40, the crew would take photos, but since I brought my action camera, I declined (it was no problem to bring it on board).

Unfortunately, it was raining in the morning, so the scenery wasn't very beautiful...

However, I still got to enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of parasailing, and I saw a beautiful rainbow!

The captain gradually extended the rope, and once it was fully extended, he started to raise the altitude. In the end, we had the classic splashdown into the sea!

Thanks to the captain's sailing skills and the crew's attentive support, I had a great time!

I hope to do it again on a sunny day next time!

急遽パラセイリングをするため朝の時間で予約しました！
参加費と別で40ドルを払えばクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれるとのことでしたが
アクションカメラを持ってきていたので断りました（問題なく持って乗れます）

しかし朝はあいにくの雨で景色が綺麗とは言えず、、、

しかしパラセイリングの楽しさと爽快さ、そして綺麗な虹が見れました！

船長が徐々にロープを伸ばし最長まで伸びたら巻き上げ高度を上げていく流れです
最後はお約束の海面チャポン！

船長さんの操船テクニックやクルーさんの丁寧なサポートもあり楽しく過ごせました！

次は天気のいい日にできたら！

Having a Japanese guide with a small group was very reassuring. The explanations were thorough, which I really appreciated as it was my first time!

少人数で日本語ガイドさんが常についてくださっていたので非常に安心でした。説明も丁寧で初めての自分にとってはありがたかったです！

I participated with my daughter. It was our first time seeing such a beautiful sunset, and we were both moved! The explanations during the stargazing were detailed and easy to understand. Above all, we were captivated by the dazzling stars that were out!

娘と参加しました
こんなに美しい日没を見たのは初めてでふたりで感動しました！
星観察でも詳しい説明なので分かりやすかったです
何よりもこんなに星が出ていたんだとキラキラまばゆい星に見惚れてしまいます！

It was the best experience. It was my first dive, and it's a feeling you can't experience with other activities, so I definitely recommend it. The price is a bit steep, though, haha. The instructor spoke English and was very kind, so I managed to get through it, haha.

最高の体験でした。初めてのダイブでしたが、他のアクティビティでは経験できない感覚なのでぜひおすすめです。値段は貼りますが笑。英語インストラクターですが、とても優しいのでなんとか乗り切れました笑

My wife and I participated together. It was my first time, and to be honest, it was amazing. It was my wife's second time, but it seemed to be much more challenging than before, and she was clinging to the rope in fear the whole time. Including those moments, it was a great memory.

妻と2人で参加しました。私は初でしたが率直に言って最高でした。妻は人生2回目でしたが以前よりかなり高度があったようで、ずっと怯えてロープにしがみついてました。そんなことも含めて良い思い出です。

It was our first snorkeling experience as a couple in our 60s and 50s, and we had an amazing time!! The crew was all kind and attentive, which made us feel safe! There were also Japanese staff members, so we felt comfortable even without speaking English! We got to swim with adorable dolphins, and of course, we swam with colorful fish and even a big sea turtle, which was incredibly moving!! The tour was packed with fun activities like water slides and SUP. We were very satisfied! We want to participate again!!

60代と50代の夫婦で初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、最高に楽しみました！！
クルーの皆さんはみんな親切丁寧で安心！
日本人スタッフもいらっしゃって英語出来なくても安心！
可愛いイルカとも一緒に泳げて、色とりどりのお魚はもちろん、大きなウミガメとも一緒に泳げて大感動でした！！
ウォータースライダーやSUPも楽しめて盛り沢山のツアーでした。
大満足！また参加したいです！！

Of course you can’t predict rain in Hawaii but you can have spots to seek cover. The event did pass out rain plastic but only once at the beginning and we did not get any.

Once the rain passed there was no attempt to wipe chairs so even if the rain stopped you were still soaked.

The hurried the show to see a quick fire dancer set but that was not that good.

Even without the rain you couldn’t see. The tables in rows made it difficult. The food was ok. The drinks didn’t not taste like any alcohol was in them just super sweet drinks. Overall I was not happy with the event.

I rode on the catamaran for the first time in about 10 years. This time, I chose the Na Hoku because it included an all-you-can-drink option. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is exceptional. The sea was relatively calm, making it the best cruising experience. Additionally, I enjoyed the all-you-can-drink option and had about 6-7 Mai Tais. There were only four of us, including a Japanese couple, so it felt quite private.

⭐︎ I deducted one star because my wife got seasick. Personally, I would give it ⭐︎5 stars or more. Next time, I think I'll go during sunset.

10年ぶりくらいにカタマラン号に乗りました。
今回は飲み放題付き、という事でナ・ホク号をチョイスしました。
海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは格別です。
比較的海も穏やかだったので、最高のクルージングでした。
また、目論見だった飲み放題、マイタイを6-7杯飲みました。
また、当日は私たち以外に日本人のご夫婦と4人でしたので、プライベート感覚でした。

⭐︎一つ減らしたのは妻が船酔いしてしまったからです。
私個人なら⭐︎5つ以上です。
次回はサンセットタイムにしようと思います。

I thought it might be a little scary, but the breathtaking views and the refreshing feeling are incredible. The captain has a great sense of humor, and you might get splashed in the sea once, haha. I want to experience it again!

少し怖いのかなと思っていましたが、絶景と爽快感半端ないです。船長さんユーモアで、一回海につけられます笑
また体験したいです

I have ridden horses several times in Japan, but this was my first time abroad. There was plenty of time, and the terrain had some elevation changes, which made me a bit nervous, but it was a lot of fun! I think it would be even more enjoyable if you understand English.

日本では何度か乗馬をしたことがありますが、海外では初でした。
時間たっぷり、若干高低差がある地を行きますので、少し緊張しましたがとても楽しかったです！
英語がわかるともっと楽しめると思います。

It was very comfortable and refreshing! I felt the Earth as I watched the color of the ocean change. I would like to ride again when I visit next time.

とても心地よく、爽快でした！
海の色が変わっていく様子に地球を感じました。また訪れた際は乗りたいです。

I was nervous about my first zip line experience, but I was able to communicate in Japanese quite well, and I had a great time throughout. Even the staff at the reception who didn't speak Japanese were wonderful, as they used a translation app to explain things to me!

初めてのジップラインでドキドキでしたが、日本語も割と通じて終始楽しい時間でした。日本語が通じない受付の人でも、翻訳アプリで説明してくれて対応が素晴らしかったです！

Zip line over 250 foot waterfall. Great fun. Mirabell & Calista were fantastic guides, made our day.

It was great that even children who can't snorkel could see a lot of fish! Riding in a real submarine was also a refreshing and fun experience, almost like an attraction. Also, the pilot was so cool that I couldn't help but sneak a glance! At one point, it got a bit boring, and my child fell asleep, but it was a good experience overall.

シュノーケル出来ない子どもでもたくさんの魚が観れてよかったです！そもそも本物の潜水艇に乗り込むこと自体もアトラクション感覚で新鮮で楽しかったです。
あとパイロットがカッコ良すぎてついチラ見しちゃう！
途中は少し退屈になり、子どもは寝てしまいましたww良い体験でした。

The boat ride takes just under 30 minutes, followed by a stay of about 20 minutes in the fern cave, allowing you to rest and enjoy sightseeing. Kayak rentals are also available on this river, and it's a lot of fun to encounter many things while moving by boat.

片道30分弱の船での移動、20分程度のシダ洞窟での滞在、身体を休めて観光ができます。この川ではカヤックのレンタルもやっていて、ボートで移動中に沢山遭遇して楽しいです。

It was amazing! There are so many shops I want to visit in Haleiwa Town, and I think it would be even better if we had a bit more free time!

最高でした！ハレイワタウンで寄りたいお店がたくさんあり、自由時間がもう少し長いとさらに良いと思います！

Beautiful spot, tide wasn't super low (which you can't really control) but the snorkeling was just mediocre, per my friends that did it. We were on the boat most of the time eating cup of noodles, the live music was awesome and one of the guys that took people out for the banana ride was super nice and fun to chat with. The guy handing out goggles was a bit all over the place, I stood in line twice to get my goggles and he kept giving everyone theirs as I just stood there waiting and I almost thought he was doing that on purpose as it happened 2x so I just gave up and said well I guess I'm not snorkeling today. That was a bit disappointing. I think for the price, it wasn't really worth it. There are better tours here on the island.

I really enjoyed the live music on the boat. The crew was very friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time on the sand bar with a variety of things to do. It was lots of fun.

The staff were all smiling, kind, and spoke Japanese very well, creating a bright and reassuring atmosphere where I could enjoy myself! The light snacks, including sandwiches and chips, were delicious, and I bought some souvenirs at ABCstore. I didn't get seasick, and there was wonderful music on board, creating a happy space where all participants were smiling. The water activities were enjoyable enough even with just the free options! I also tried the bumper tube as an option, which was more intense and active than I imagined, but I managed to endure it (laughs). I almost felt like I was going to heaven, but since it was something I had longed to do, I was glad I chose the option! I was also surprised by the cleanliness of the ship! It was so much fun that the three hours flew by! If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

スタッフさん全員笑顔で優しく日本語も上手でとっても明るく、安心して楽しめました！軽食のサンドイッチとスナック菓子も美味しくて、ABCstoreでお土産に買いました^^船酔いもせず、船内では素敵な演奏もあり参加者全員が笑顔で幸せな空間に包まれてました♪ウォーターアクティビティは無料の中だけでも十分に楽しめます！私はオプションでバンパーチューブもしましたが、想像以上に激しくてアクティブでしたが、必死に耐え抜きました(笑)昇天しかけましたが、念願だったのでオプションでやってよかったです！船内の清潔さにも驚きました！楽しくて3時間あっという間でした！またハワイに来る機会があれば是非参加したいです♪

This is my fourth experience at Angel's Sea, including other companies. Not in a bad way, but I was surprised by how many people there were, and since it was my first time being picked up by a large bus, I was worried about how it would go. However, they divided us into a foreign team and a Japanese team, and we had a great time throughout. They were also kind to families with children, which made me feel at ease. I was satisfied with seeing many sea turtles, and it looked like people were having fun playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea. The lunch was also more delicious than I expected.

天使の海は他社を含めて四回目の体験です？悪い意味ではなく思った以上に人が多く初めて大型バスでのお迎えだったのでどうなることやらと心配しましたが、外国人チームと日本人チームに分けてくださり、終始楽しく過ごせました。子連れにも親切にしてくださり安心でした。海亀もたくさん見れて満足ですし、天使の海はビーチバレーしてる方もいらっしゃり楽しそうでした。ランチも思ってる以上に絶品です。

We loved every minute of it! Super fun! For sure, we will be back .

I had experienced Rock Aloha once before the pandemic, but I wanted to experience it again, so I participated. Even the second time, I had a great time. Both Elvis and Michael Jackson were a lot of fun, and the Hawaiian atmosphere was really nice. I plan to come back to see it again.

ロックアフラは、コロナ前に一度体験済みでしたが、今一度体感したく、参加しました。二度目でも、大変楽しく参加出来ました。プレスリーもマイケルジャクソンもとても楽しかったし、ハワイアンの雰囲気もとても良かったです。また見に来ようと思っております。

The staff was friendly, and there were enough staff members for participants to swim comfortably! They took the time to thoroughly explain safety precautions, such as not swimming at the back of the boat, and they were always watching over the participants. There was also a practice for the OK sign and help sign, which was reassuring. We were the only Japanese participants, but there were many children joining, and we were able to communicate and have fun. There was an incident where a participant's hat flew into the sea, but the staff returned the boat to the point where the hat was and jumped in to retrieve it. The snorkeling time was long, and if you get tired, you can return to the boat via the stairs! I highly recommend it!

スタッフはフレンドリーで、参加者に対してスタッフの数が多く安心して泳ぐことができました！
船の後ろ側は泳がないことなど、注意事項の説明も時間をかけてしっかりしてくださり、また、スタッフが常時参加者の様子を見ていました。
okのサインやヘルプのサインも事前練習があり、安心でした。
日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、子供の参加も多く、楽しくコミュニケーションを取ることができました。
途中参加者の帽子が海に飛ばされるアクシデントがありましたが、船を帽子があるポイントに戻し、スタッフさんが飛び込んで取りに行っていました。
シュノーケリングの時間は長く、疲れたら階段から船に戻ることができます！お勧めです！

"Be punctual."
I had a stomachache in the morning and informed them that I needed to go to the restroom, but I ended up being three minutes late to the meeting time. After that, I was subjected to snide remarks in the car.

If I were to hear such comments on my honeymoon, it would really ruin my mood. When I tried to give a tip that corresponded to the service, I was told, "I don't need it!" which left me feeling quite unpleasant.

I only handed over a tip for the service, but it seemed like there was a requirement to give at least $20 in the car. I was filled with the feeling of, "What? After making me feel this way?"

I think it could be fun if you get a good guide, but since this isn't a cheap tour, I would recommend avoiding tours where you might get lucky or unlucky.

Personally, I won't be using this service again.

「時間厳守」
朝お腹が痛くなりトイレ行ってきます。とお伝えし、集合時間に3分遅れてしまったのですが、その後の車の中でぐちぐち嫌味を言われました。

新婚旅行でそんな嫌味を言われたら気分も悪くなり、サービスに相当するチップを渡したら「いらないよ！」といわれ、かなり嫌な気持ちになりました。

サービスに対するチップを渡しただけなのですが、車の中には最低20ドルを出してください。と記載がされていた様で、「え？こんな思いさせといて？」という気持ちでいっぱいです。

ガイドさんが当たれば楽しいと思いますが
安いツアーでもないので当たり外れがあるツアーを申し込みするくらいなら、やめた方がいい思います笑

個人的には、もう利用しません。

First of all, the height is amazing.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from this height was fantastic!
Also, jumping into the sea before the collection was super fun.

まず高さが最高。
この高さからのワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが最高でした♪
さらに回収前に海にジャポンしてくれるのもめちゃ楽しかった。

It was unexpected like a circus.
There was a story, spectacular performances, and it was truly moving throughout.
The only disappointment was that there were no brochures or videos for sale.

サーカスと思わぬこと。
ストーリーがあり、スペクタクルな演技、感動のしっぱなしでした。
パンフレットや映像の販売がされていなかったのだけがちょっと残念でした。

The fusion of Hawaiian culture and acrobatics.
That's absolutely true.
Everyone, please make sure to see it.
It's moving.
You can see well even from the back seats.

ハワイ文化とアクロバットの融合。
ほんとにその通りです。
是非皆さん、観てください。
感動します。
席は後ろでもよく見えます。

This tour allows you to fully enjoy Haleiwa. There is plenty of time, and the mini tour takes you to places that are not accessible on foot, so I was really satisfied. Since I participated on a Sunday, I finally got to try the famous Huli Huli chicken. It was delicious.

ハレイワを存分に満喫出来るツアーです。
時間はたっぷりあるし、ミニツアーでは、徒歩では行けない場所を案内して頂けるので、ほんとに大満足でした。
今回は日曜日に参加したので、念願のフリフリチキン。
美味しかったです。
