All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I wanted to join the tour because I had never been to a coffee farm on other optional tours. I have also done a coffee farm tour on the Big Island. I simply love natural coffee, and there were many different flavored coffees. Although it wasn't my favorite coffee, I was glad to have the opportunity to visit. It was my first time exploring a farm. Before participating in the tour, I watched an introductory video and learned about the tour content, and I was able to walk right in the middle of the farm. This time, I was able to taste freshly cut pineapple right from the field. Hawaiian pineapple is delicious, but the pineapple I ate directly at the farm was even better! I was happy to receive a whole pineapple as a souvenir, but I was surprised that I couldn't bring it back to Japan. The staff at the shop was Japanese, and they kindly offered to exchange it for cut pineapple for the Japanese participants, which was very helpful. The pineapple juice and fruit samples at the shop were also very delicious! Additionally, there were three types of Waialua coffee available for tasting, and I purchased some. I thought the tour fee was a bit high, so I was glad to participate in the monitor tour. In terms of the rarity of this tour, I thought it would be fun to experience places like Wahiawa Botanical Garden, which has free admission, aside from the farm.

ほかのオプショナルツアーでは寄ることがほとんどなかったコーヒー農園に行ってみたかったのでツアー参加を希望しました
ハワイ島でもコーヒー農園巡りをしたことがあります
シンプルにナチュナルコーヒーが好きだったのでいろいろなフレーバーコーヒーが多くて
自分の好みコーヒーではなかったですが寄ることができてよかったです
農園は初めての散策です
ツアー参加前に紹介動画をみてツアー内容を知ることができましたが、まさに農園の真ん中散策ができます
今回は農園の畑でもいだパイナップルをその場でカットして試食させていただくこともできました
ハワイのパイナップルはおいしいですが、農園で直接食べたパイナップルはさらに美味しかったです～
おみやげのパイナップルは1玉そのものいただいたときはうれしかったですが、日本に持ち帰りできないしびっくりしました
売店の店員さんが日本人で日本人参加者にはカットパインとチェンジしましょうか？と声をかけていただいて助かりました
売店でのパイナップルジュースと果実も試食として出していただきとても美味しかった！
またワイアルアコーヒーの試飲も3種類あり購入させていただきました
ツアー代金は高いな～と思ったのでモニターツアーに参加できてよかったです
このレアさの強いツアーという意味では農場以外の場所としてワヒアワ植物園とか入場無料ですし、こういう場所の体験ができたりすると楽しいのかなと思いました

This was a great experience. Getting to see the observatories and look out over the clouds above everything on the Big Island was really amazing. Watching the sunset and then doing some star gazing was awesome. Very happy with everything.

The captain and the crew were amazing! Best part was the sandbar and enjoying the view of the island.

Had an amazing time. Jay was the best tour guide. Our kids did great and had a great time snorkeling.

Food was good but the luau part was not what I was expecting- there were hundreds of people and the show was so slow and not very exciting
Not worth the price tag- was hoping for more of an actual luau feel

This was my third time sailing. There were some waves, but since it was a catamaran, it didn't rock too much, and it was the best sailing experience.

今回3回目のセーリングでした。
そこそこ波もありましたが、カタマランなので大きく揺れることもなく最高のセーリングでした。

Five out of the six groups were Japanese, but all six groups had a sense of unity and it was very enjoyable. This was likely because the staff were fun and friendly, and they always took care to communicate in simple Japanese and clear English while we were putting on our gear on the boat heading out to sea. The world above during parasailing was surprisingly calm. Next time, I want to try other activities as well.

６組中５組が日本人でしたが、６組全てのグループが一体感がありとても楽しかったです。
それはスタッフの方が楽しく友好的で、
海上へ向かうボート内で、装具を付ける際も、いつも片言の日本語とわかりやすい英語で気遣ってくれたからと思います。
パラセイリングの上空は意外にも穏やかな世界でした。
次は他のアクティビティも挑戦したいです。

The tide was just right for snorkeling. If the tide had been lower with the sandbar exposed, snorkeling would have been difficult. In addition to snorkeling, you can also experience SUP and kayaking. I wish I had tried SUP as well.

シュノーケリング目的だったので、潮位はちょうどよかった。サンドバーが出ている潮位だと、シュノーケリングは難しかったかな。シュノーケリングのほかに、SUPやカヤックも体験できます。ＳＵＰもやってみればよかった。

We participated as a couple in our 60s. The two young American staff members who took care of us were cheerful and engaged us in conversation in English. They prepared everything carefully, and before we knew it, we were launched into the air. The fear I had imagined was completely absent, and I was thrilled by the pleasant tension and the wonderful scenery.

夫婦２人(60代)で参加しました。担当してくれたアメリカ人青年2人は明るくて、英語でしたが色々話しかけてくれました。準備を丁寧にしてくれて、沖に出るあっという間に空中に放たれました。想像していた恐怖感は全くなく、ここち良い緊張と素晴らしい景色に興奮しました。

We enjoyed the dinner and of course the main Show ..we definitely will come back again.

The trip was only about 1/2 full so it was wonderful have plenty of room to walk about the boat. The music was also great, and happy we picked the day that has live music. There were drinks a plenty, and the food was also delicious. This is a must if your visiting Maui!

We used this service for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed a full hour of horseback riding, and the location was amazing. The horses were well-behaved, with gentle eyes that were just too cute! It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shaded areas, so it wasn't as hot as I expected, and we had a great time! I don't understand English at all, but they showed us a Japanese version of the explanation video, which made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this experience!

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で利用しました。
１時間たっぷり乗馬してロケーションは最高。お馬さんはいい子で優しい瞳で可愛いすぎた！
日差しが強い日だったけど日陰も多くて思ったより暑くなく楽しめました！
英語は全く分からないけど日本語版の説明動画も見せてくれて安心しました！是非体験してきてください

Great experience this was my first time and it didn’t disappoint. It is definitely the money worth . Great staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

Since it was a plan with shuttle service from the hotel, we took a large bus for about an hour to get to the location. The instructor during the horseback riding spoke in English, but there was also an explanation provided by a Japanese staff member beforehand, so I think it’s fine even if you don’t understand English. There were mostly Japanese participants, but there were also quite a few Chinese, Korean, and Westerners. There was about an hour of free time before and after the activity, so we spent it buying snacks at the shop and taking a leisurely walk. It was really nice to feel nature in a different atmosphere from the Waikiki area.

ホテルからの送迎付きプランだったので、大型バスで1時間ほどかけて現地まで行きました。乗馬中のインストラクターさんからの声掛けは英語ですが、事前に日本人のスタッフの方からの説明もあったので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫だと思います。参加者は日本人が多めで中国人、韓国人、欧米の方も結構いました。アクティビティの前後にそれぞれ1時間弱自由時間があったので、売店で軽食を買ったりのんびり散歩したりして過ごしました。ワイキキエリアとはまた違った雰囲気の中で自然を感じることができてとても良かったです。

I happened to be the only participant, so it turned into a private charter. It feels like riding a swing 150 meters above the ground. There's nothing else like it. Overlooking the ocean and gazing at Diamond Head is breathtaking. The wind feels amazing! Is the tip $20? There was a $20 bill clipped to the boat, so it felt like I had to pay that amount, haha. But I definitely recommend it!

たまたま他の参加者がいなくて、プライベートチャーターになりました。150メートル上空でブランコに乗っているような感覚です。これは他にはありません。海を見下ろしてダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは圧巻です。風が最高に気持ちい！チップは20ドル？ボートに20ドル札がクリップされていて、なんか20は払わなきゃならない雰囲気でした笑。でもぜったいオススメです！

This was my first time participating, and it was a wonderful experience. The boat didn't sway much, but occasionally we hit strong waves that splashed water, which was also a fun experience. Most people were enjoying Mai Tais, but since we are not good with alcohol, we opted for soft drinks. Along the way, we saw a rainbow over Diamond Head, and it became a lovely memory with beautiful scenery.

初めて参加しましたが、とてもいい体験でした。船はあまり揺れることがなかったのですが時折強い波に当たると水しぶきが飛んできますがそれも楽しい体験です。ほとんどの人がマイタイを美味しそうに飲んでいましたが、私たちはお酒に弱いのでソフトドリンクにしました。途中ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、すてきな景色も見ることができて良い思い出となりました。

We had a fun time on our canoe adventure and snorkeling at a special area with just the 3 of us. We saw a lot of beautiful fish and our snorkel gear was great! Our guide Kai was very friendly and attentive to our safety on the canoe and in the water. It was a bit tough for us to get back into the canoe after snorkeling but he worked with us and we made it!! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it will be a very special memory for us all! Thank you Kai!

Overall a fun experience. Staff is friendly and the sandbar is beautiful!
The overall tour is just a little too long and the boat is a little dirty.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. I would look down from our room and see the small area the luau was being performed in. I was skeptical because any luaus we had previously been to were done in large areas. We were all pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the staff were! The show itself was very well done and the acts were both beautiful and memorable. The setting was small and intimate. There were 9 of us total and we were all very pleased! Music and singing were great!

Since we had VIP seats, we were able to enter 30 minutes early and had seats right in front. The food was delicious, and although there were only a few people at the show, it was satisfying enough. Being able to see the sunset during the event will be a lifelong memory.

VIP席でしたので、３０分早く入場でき、真正面の席でした。食事は美味しく、ショーも人数は少なかったですが、それなりに満足できる内容でした。途中サンセットを見れたのは一生の思い出になります。

We booked a private Honolulu Sunset Cruise to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. The crew was professional courteous and allowed everyone to enjoy the cruise. The next time we are in Honolulu, we will definitely book this cruise again!

This was my first experience, and the Japanese crew members were very entertaining, making it a fun experience for the kids as well. The final snorkeling was a bit nerve-wracking when clouds appeared, but when it cleared up, the color of the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish. The hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious, and my 5-year-old daughter was happily eating it! I want to practice swimming more and come back again!

今回初めての体験でしたが、日本人クルーの方もとても面白く、子供達も楽しい体験ができました。
最後のシュノーケリングは雲が出てくると少しドキドキしましたが晴れると海の色がとてもキレイでお魚もいっぱい見れました。そしてランチのハンバーガーもかなり美味しくて、５歳の娘もパクパク食べていました！またもっと泳ぎを練習してまた来たいです♪

The purpose of participating in this tour was not only to see the sunset from the summit but also to experience the best starry sky and the Southern Cross from the slopes of Mauna Kea. A significant difference from the sunrise tour I participated in before is that we head to the summit while it’s still bright, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery along the way, the sea of clouds, and the surrounding mountains. Although it was foggy and rainy until we broke through the clouds, we were blessed with good weather from the visitor center and were able to witness an amazing sunset. During the stargazing afterward, as soon as we arrived at the viewpoint, the Southern Cross was clearly visible right next to the ridge! It’s nearly impossible to see this in Japan, so I made sure to imprint it in my memory and take photos. Since the moon wasn’t out, the starry sky was even more spectacular than a planetarium. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

今回このツアーに参加した目的は最高峰からのサンセットはもちろんのことマウナケア山麓で観る最高の星空と南十字星です。以前参加したサンライズとの大きな違いは、まだ明るい時間に山頂へ向かいますので、道中の景色や雲海、周りの山々がしっかり見られることです。雲を抜けるまでは霧と雨でしたが、ビジターセンターからは天気にも恵まれ、感動のサンセットを観ることができました。その後の星空鑑賞ではポイント到着後すぐに稜線のそばにはっきりと南十字星が！日本で観ることはほぼ不可能ですのでしっかり目と写真に焼き付けました。月も出ていなかったので満天の星空はもうプラネタリウム以上でした。本当に幸せな時間をありがとうございました。

The staff who spoke Japanese (Mr. Shotaro) provided a thorough guide!! I was moved to see the Milky Way for the first time. I'm looking forward to seeing the photos!

日本語を話せるスタッフ(正太郎さん)が丁寧に案内してくれました！！
初めて天の川をみて感動しました。写真を見るのが楽しみです！

It was my first time parasailing, and the guide was interesting, making it a fun experience. Thank you!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、ガイドさんもおもしろく楽しい体験ができました。ありがとうございます！

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

This team is top notch, they took us to a great location. They provided a wealth of information on mantaray's while we prepared for the event. We had so much fun.

We had so much fun on this tour. Really great snorkeling. We found eels, puffer fish, and even an octopus.

The greeter was friendly and on time. I surprised my wife for our anniversary.

I experienced a 2-hour horseback riding session at Kualoa Ranch. The activity itself was fantastic. If I remember correctly, it’s quite popular, so when I applied, I wasn’t sure what time slot I would be able to join. It was confirmed in the reservation email when I opened the voucher. I didn’t quite understand how Kualoa Ranch operated, and since it was the weekend, there were more people than on weekdays. After arriving, I realized I had about 2 hours of free time before the horseback riding, so I lined up at the ticket center, but all the other morning activities were sold out. I spent the time at the cafeteria, grabbing a light snack and browsing for souvenirs. Considering efficiency, I would have liked to combine another tour with the 2 hours, but the horseback riding experience was truly wonderful. The horses are well-trained, so they move along without needing much direction. During the 2-hour wait, I bought lunch at the cafeteria, which felt like a food court, so there was no obligation to buy a meal for each person. To avoid overeating before the activity, sharing was also possible. It seems that bringing in sandwiches or rice balls wouldn’t be a problem. By the way, it takes about an hour to get from the Sheraton to Kualoa Ranch. The bus is large and comfortable. The driver provided information about Hawaii’s attractions in English along the way, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. Overall, I’m glad I participated!

クアロアランチの乗馬2時間を体験。
アクティビティ自体、最高でした。
確か、記憶によると人気なんで、申込時には何時の回に参加できるかは判らず、予約確定のメールでバウチャーを開くと確定されてる感じでした。クアロアランチの仕組みが分からなかったのと、土日だったんで平日より人が多かったせいか、着いたのち、乗馬まで2時間くらい空き時間がある事がわかって、そこからチケットセンターに並んだが、午前中の他のアクティビティはどれも完売との事で、カフェテリアで小腹を満たしたり、お土産見たりして過ごしました。効率から考えると2時間あれば何か1つツアーを組み合わせたかったが、乗馬体験はとても素晴らしく、馬が慣れてるので、あまり指示を出さずとも合わせて動いてくれます。2時間の待ち時間はカフェテリアで昼食を購入し食べたがフードコートのような感じなんで1人1食購入する義務感も無く、アクティビティ前の食べ過ぎを避ける為にシェアも可能でした。おそらく、サンドイッチやおにぎりの持込みも問題なさそう。ちなみに、シェラトンからクアロアランチまで約1時間。バスは大きく快適です。行きがけのドライバーは道中、ハワイの見どころを英語ですが紹介してくれて、雰囲気も良かった。トータル、参加して良かったです！
