All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

We were a family of seven with 3 teens. We loved both tours, the ranch and catamaran cruise beautiful scenery and educational
Would highly recommend

I made a reservation to make my 78-year-old father happy! The buffet offers delicious food, and you can take as much as you can eat. The hula dance includes lessons, so everyone can participate without feeling nervous. A lovely lady playing the ukulele went around the tables singing requested songs, which was truly heartwarming! My father, who is dealing with sciatica and taking painkillers in Hawaii, had the biggest smile in a photo with the nostalgic Elvis Presley! Not only is there Old Hawaii, but the show also features Moana's hula dance. The fire dance in the VIP section is incredibly powerful!

78歳の父に喜んでほしくて予約しました！ビュッフェも美味しく食べれる量だけとれますし、フラダンスはレッスン付きでみんな一緒に緊張しないで参加できます♪
ウクレレ弾きのおばさまがテーブルを回りリクエスト曲を歌って下さり感無量になりました！
坐骨神経痛の中、ハワイで痛み止めを飲みながら過ごしている父が..懐かしのプレスリーさんとのお写真に最高の笑顔でした！
オールドハワイだけでなく、ショーにはモアナちゃんのフラダンスもあります♪ファイヤーダンスはVIP席、大迫力です！

I was moved by the beautiful sunset.
During the stargazing, I was taught a lot in Japanese, and it was very easy to understand.
Both the sandwich and cocoa were delicious.

綺麗なサンセットに感動しました。
星空観察では日本語でたくさん教えてくださり、とてもわかりやすかったです。
サンドイッチ、ココアどちらも美味しかったです。

The crew was lively and really got everyone excited. We rode on one boat with 12 people and took turns parasailing. They took photos for us, and I purchased them for $40. They took many beautiful pictures, which became great memories of the trip.

クルーはノリノリで盛り上げてくれます。
12人で１つのボートに乗り、順番にパラセーリングします。
一眼で写真を撮ってくれるので、$40で購入しました。綺麗に沢山撮ってもらえて、旅の思い出になりました。

I participated in a monitor tour, and the show was amazing, exceeding my expectations.

I knew it was at the Royal Hawaiian Center, but this was my first time attending. Before the show, there was a luau, and I enjoyed watching hula dancing right next to me, as well as a hula lesson that participants could join in on, which was fun.

When I arrived at the venue, I was given a lei and seated. While waiting for dinner, I enjoyed pineapple and mai tais while listening to the ukulele. However, this waiting time felt a bit long, so I thought it would be nice if the time from check-in to the start of dinner was shortened, or if there were activities like hula lessons or lei making available.

The food was plentiful, with so many varieties that I couldn't finish it all.

The show was more powerful than I expected, with exciting dances and songs while watching Hawaii's history on the screen. Even though I knew the performers were impersonators of Michael and Elvis, I was captivated by their energy. The final fire knife dance, where the floor became a sea of fire, was surprising. It's definitely worth seeing.

After the show, being able to take photos with Elvis, Michael, and the dancers makes for a great memory.

モニターツアーがあったので、参加させていただきましたが、期待以上に引き付けられるショーが最高でした。

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、あるのは知っていたのですが、今回初めて参加しました。ショーの前に、ルアウがあり、すぐ横でフラダンスがみられたり、実際に希望者が参加できるフラレッスンもあって、楽しかったです。

会場に着くと、レイをかけてもらって、席に着き、食事の時間までパイナップルとマイタイで、ウクレレを聞いたりするのですが、この間がちょっと手持無沙汰なので、受付から食事開始の時間をもう少し短くするか、フラレッスンや、レイメイキングなどがあるといいかな～とも思いました。
お料理も盛りだくさんで、食べきれないくらい、いろいろ種類がありました。

ショーは、期待以上に迫力があって、ハワイの歴史をスクリーンで見ながら、趣向を凝らしたダンスや歌で盛り上がります。マイケルやエルビスのそっくりさんのステージも、そっくりさんとわかってはいても、その迫力に魅了されました。最後のファイアーナイフダンスは、床が一面火の海になる演出もあって、びっくり。ぜひ、見る価値ありです。

ショーの後は、エルビスやマイケル、ダンサーたちと写真が撮れるのも、よい記念になります。

When we arrived at the sea, a Japanese person explained things to us. There were also a few people on the boat who could speak Japanese. Once we boarded the boat, donuts were distributed. It was a large boat that didn't sway much, so I think we could travel comfortably. The sea was very beautiful, and we could see fish swimming nearby. We started with the banana boat when we reached the spot. It was quite intense, and it felt like my bottom was floating, which was fun. It seemed like I might fall off if I didn't have enough grip strength. After that, we could spend our time as we liked, and I did canoeing and kayaking. There was a funny person who spoke in Kansai dialect and taught us how to do it. We also enjoyed snorkeling for a full three hours. Although small, there was a place to change clothes. It was nice that the restrooms were separated, with one for men and two for women.

海に着いたら日本人の方が説明してくれます。
船の中には何人か日本語が話せる方も居ました。船に乗ったらドーナツが配られます。
あまり揺れない船で大きいので快適に行けると思います。
海がとても綺麗で魚も近くで泳いてるのが見えます。バナナボートはスポットに着いたら初めにやります。結構激しくおしりが浮く感じで楽しかったです。握力ないと落ちそうな感じでした。
その後は好きなように過ごせて、
カヌーとカヤックをやりました。関西弁を喋る方で面白い方がやり方教えてくれました。
シュノーケルもやりたっぷり3時間楽しみました。
小さいですが着替えるところもありました。
トイレは男性1、女性2で分けられて使えるところも良かったです

Yoshi was a great guide! I would highly recommend him!

We arrived within an hour by bus. A Japanese person gave the initial explanation, and we started the buggy ride after about 30 minutes. The rest was all in English, so I didn't understand much, but they seemed to be talking about the spots or the names of the mountains. I felt there was quite a distance to the next spot. It seems that the places we stop at differ depending on the tour, so we viewed the area with a lot of bones from the buggy. However, the male staff member helped by taking photos for us. The parts of my face not covered by the bandana were completely black, and my clothes got pretty dirty. But it was a lot of fun! I didn't have much time to look at souvenirs because of my reservation, so those considering souvenirs might find the time insufficient. However, I think we had about 20 minutes each before and after the tour.

バスで1時間以内につきました
日本人の方が最初の説明をして頂き30分程でバギースタートしました。
あとは全て英語なので全然分かりませんが、
スポットごとに説明？か山の名前？なのか話をしてました。次のスポットまで結構距離あるなと感じました。ツアーによって止まるとこが違うぽいので骨がいっぱいある所はバギーから見る形でした。
が男性スタッフの方が写真も撮ってくれるので助かります
バンダナで顔を覆ってないところは真っ黒でしたし服もそこそこ汚れます
でもとても楽しかったです
私の時間の予約はお土産見る時間がそこまでなかったのでお土産考えてる人は時間が足りないかもです。が、着いてからと終わってから20分ほどずつはあったと思います。

The staff was wonderful, and I'm definitely coming back! It was exciting to be able to swim after heading out to sea! The atmosphere was friendly and cheerful!

スタッフが素晴らしく、リピート確定です！沖に出てから泳げるのも盛り上がりました！和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした！

Francis was a very knowledgeable and talkative guide. Very much enjoyed our conversations!!

The local papaya appetizer with Italian prosciutto and creamy burrata cheese paired perfectly with Hawaiian honey and balsamic vinaigrette. I thought I would try to replicate it at home.
The main dish, the wood-fired steak, was tender and juicy. The local vegetables topped with red wine sauce had a natural sweetness and were very delicious.
The dessert, purple sweet potato Mont Blanc with cashew nut vanilla ice cream and macadamia nuts, was also a perfect combination.
I told the staff, "I'll come back again next year," as I left.

前菜のローカルパパイヤとイタリア産生ハム、クリーミーブラータチーズはハワイ産蜂蜜とバルサミコビネグレットとの相性が抜群でした。家でも真似してみようと思いました。
メインの薪焼きしたステーキも柔らかくてジューシー。赤ワインソースをかけたローカル野菜も野菜本来の甘みがあり、とても美味しかったです。
デザートの紫芋のモンブランとカシューナッツバニラアイス、マカデミアンナッツの相性も抜群でした。
お店の方に「来年もまたきますね」と伝えて帰りました。

Before the show, there was a buffet where we could enjoy delicious food. While waiting, there was a service that played requested songs on the ukulele. I took a little bit of everything from the dishes, and since there were many options, it turned out to be quite a lot. Additionally, there was a dance performance while we were eating, which made the meal enjoyable. The dessert afterward was also delicious. However, it took quite a while for the food to be served after the gathering time had passed. It would have been appreciated if they could have started the meal a bit earlier.

The show afterward was also fun and very lively. They performed impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. To be honest, I wasn't very familiar with Elvis Presley, but I enjoyed all of Michael Jackson's songs. The dancing was all at a high level and impressive. However, it might have been even more captivating if everyone had a similar body shape.

ショーの前にビュッフェ形式でご飯が食べられて美味しかったです。待っている間にリクエスト曲をウクレレで演奏してくれるサービスもありました。料理の方は全ての料理を少しずつ取りましたが品数が多いのでかなりの量になりました。また、ご飯食べている最中にダンスを披露してくれるので楽しくご飯が食べられました。そのあとのデザートも美味しかった。あと集合時間が過ぎてから料理が出てくるまでが結構長かったですね。もうちょっと早く食事を開始してくれるとありがたかったです。

そのあとのショーも楽しくとても盛り上がりました。エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのモノマネを披露してくれるのですが、正直エルビスプレスリーはあまり詳しくなかったのですがマイケルジャクソンの曲は全て楽しく見させていただきました。ダンスは全てレベルが高くてすごかったです。ただし、全員の体形が揃っているともっと見ごたえがあったかもしれません。

It was an explanation in English, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a wonderful and fun time. Along the way, I was able to see a big rainbow and a monk seal! It was great that there was a place to store our luggage as well.

英語だけの説明だったけど、特に困った事もなくとても素敵で楽しい時間でした。
途中大きな虹、モンクシールも見ることができました！
荷物を入れる所もあってよかったです。

I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.

ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく１日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。

I was able to see beautiful scenery, and it was great that I could take photos along the way. This is my second time on this line, and I would like to ride it again!

綺麗な景色を見ることができ、途中写真撮影もさせていただけ良かったです。
このラインは二度目ですが、また乗車したいと思います！

They spoke to us in a friendly manner and provided explanations so that even Japanese people could enjoy it. I felt relieved that the consent form was in Japanese! I did get seasick, which was tough, but it became a memorable experience!

日本人にも楽しめるように気さくに話しかけてくれたり説明をしてくれた。同意書が日本語で安心しました！
船酔いしてしまってきつかったですが思い出になりました！

After finishing an early dinner in the heart of Waikiki, our family of six, spanning three generations, enjoyed a show starting at 6:00 PM. The venue is not very large, which allowed us to experience a highly immersive and powerful performance. From presentations that convey Hawaii's historical culture to acrobatic displays, it was an engaging hour and a half that flew by. As mentioned earlier, the original Hawaiian performances are a must-see when you visit Hawaii!

ワイキキ中心部でちょっと早めの夕食を終え、18：00～のショーを家族3世代6人で鑑賞しました。会場が大規模ではないので非常に臨場感があり迫力のあるショーを楽しむことができました。ハワイの歴史文化を感じる事ができる演出からアクロバティックなショーまで飽きさせる事のないあっという間の1時間半でした。
前述のとおりハワイオリジナル演出があるのでハワイにお越しの際は必見です！！

100% recommend this activity. Great music, great tour guides, clean ship and endless entertainment!!! Snorkeling was amazing!! We also paddle boarded and just hung out and listened to music. Loved it!!!

Yoshi was wonderful! We can’t say enough about his hospitality, thoughtfulness, and knowledge. Not only did he take great care in making it a wonderful experience, he made sure we had outstanding pictures of our family in the best spots to remember it. We felt very safe driving in Haleakala knowing he had 20 years of experience behind him and this trip has easily taken the number one spot of our family adventures. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the stars and constellations as well as the geography of the area. A day and evening well spent!

Crew was great and friendly. Water was a little rough especially on the way back but we had a great time. Mahalo!

The sandbar only appears at low tide, but the coral reef is abundant with fish and definitely worth seeing. The sea is beautiful, so please give it a visit.

サンドバーは干潮時しか出ませんが、珊瑚礁は魚が多く、見応え十分です。
海も綺麗なので行ってみてください

You can efficiently spend your day starting with the sunrise at Diamond Head. Also, the view of Honolulu from Diamond Head is amazing. If you're in Honolulu, be sure to participate!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの朝日から効率よく１日が過ごせます。
また、ダイヤモンドヘッドから見るホノルルは最高です。ホノルルに来たのなら是非参加してください

The walk in the tropical vegetation was the best part.

I was anxious about the tour being only for foreigners, but I had a great time. The service was very attentive from the time I signed up for the tour.

外人しかいないツアーで不安でしたが…凄く楽しく過ごせました。
ツアー申し込み時より、丁寧な対応でした。、

The Hawaiian music live performance on the cruise ship was delightful. There were various activities in the beautiful emerald sea, so I never got bored. We were also blessed with great weather, making it the best experience.

Additionally, I am grateful for the wonderful hospitality from all the staff.

行き帰りのクルーズ船の中もHawaiianミュージックLIVEが心地良かったです。
キレイなエメラルドの海でのアクティビティも色々あって、飽きる事もありませんでした。
良いお天気にも恵まれて、最高の体験でした。

また、スタッフの方皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく感謝をしています。

It rained a little, so I was worried about whether we could go, but it was fine! Some of the tour guides spoke Japanese. The guides (in English) were all very hospitable, always checking in with us, taking photos, and it was fun from start to finish.

雨が少し降ったので、走行できるか心配でしたが大丈夫でした！
ツアーガイドの方は日本語を話せる方もいらっしゃいました。ガイドの方々（英語）はホスピタリティに溢れる方ばかりでよく声をかけてくださり、写真撮ってくださったりと終始楽しかったです。

The sea was incredibly beautiful.
I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling.
I usually get motion sickness, but I didn't feel sick at all.
Be careful not to bump your knees on the coral.

すごく綺麗な海でした。
サップとカヌーとシュノーケリングができてすごく楽しかったです。
私はすごく乗り物酔いしますが、全く酔いません。
サンゴに膝をぶつけがちなので、気をつけてください。

Incredible customer service!!! Had our flight cancelled and thankfully got a direct flight instead but our arrival changed and was able to change time by email. Had the most kind and understanding help with the change and made our first trip to Hawaii that much more memorable :). Mahalo 💛

Since I happened to be staying at the same hotel, I dined at the restaurant downstairs, and considering the current prices of hotel restaurants in Hawaii, I found it to be very reasonable. I think the food suits Japanese tastes, and it was a nice memory to enjoy a meal with gentle Hawaiian music in the background. I will definitely visit again the next time I come to Hawaii!

たまたま同ホテルに宿泊していたので、階下のレストランだったのですが、ハワイのホテルレストランの昨今の値段を考えるととてもお値打ちに感じます。
食事は日本人の口に合うと思いますし、優しいハワイアンをバックにご飯を食べられるのもいい思い出でした。
次にハワイに来たらまた訪れます！
