All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I picked a full day with Lunch, the lunch was good, the snorkel on secret island was amazing lots of fishes to see, some good activities too. Though I would recommend half a day if you are not in a large as many activities require a lot of people to make it fun.

Departing from the Sheraton Waikiki in the heart of Waikiki. Everything is in English, and there are no Japanese speakers. The explanations are clear, so it's manageable.

The life jackets are the type you inflate yourself, but they are used by other companies as well, and as long as you inflate them properly, there are no issues.

The sea turtle snorkeling is just off the coast of Waikiki, right after departure. This time, we saw two turtles.

It took some time to find the turtles, but in the meantime, we enjoyed snorkeling with various fish.

Whether they are being fed or not, the fish come close, allowing you to experience swimming alongside them.

After snorkeling, we started sailing. In addition to free snacks, there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase.

Having a beer in Hawaii's dry climate after snorkeling was fantastic.

The waves during sailing were a bit high, but since the boat is a catamaran, it was not a problem. Once you get used to it, it becomes a fun attraction.

ワイキキの中心部シェラトンワイキキ横から出港。
全て英語で、日本人はいません。
説明は分かりやすいので、なんとかなります。

ライフジャケットは、自分で空気を入れて含ませるタイプですが、他社でも使われていて、しっかり空気を入れれば問題ありません。

ウミガメシュノーケリングは出港して直ぐのワイキキ沖。
今回は2匹いました。

今回、ウミガメを探すのに時間がかかりましたが、その間は様々な魚とシュノーケリング。

餌付けをされているのか、近づいきて、一緒に泳いでいる感覚を味わえます。

シュノーケリングの後は、セーリング開始。
無料のスナックの他、有料でアルコールもあります。

シュノーケリング後、ハワイのカラッとした気候の中で飲むビールは最高でした。

セーリング中の波は、少し高いですが、船が双胴船なので問題なし。
慣れると楽しいアトラクションになります。

i wish I’d have thought to ask for to go containers. There was food left we should’ve taken with us. I’m assuming it gets thrown away. I would at least bring plastic zip lock bags next time. I thought it was going to be a buffet where u stood in line & helped yourself, so that would’ve been different. But they brought large plates to the table. Sorry but I can’t stand to think of food being thrown out from a table. It was a very evening but wish they had fire dancers.

The food was amazing.
It was a simple menu with an appetizer, main course, and dessert, but I was very full.
The portion of the main course was incredible!
The Waimea beef is close to Wagyu. It was cooked over wood fire, and it had a wonderful aroma.
When I mentioned it was a birthday dinner, they offered a complimentary dessert plate.
I ordered a cocktail on-site. It was delicious, but the alcohol was quite strong (the staff mentioned they made it strong... I don't usually drink, so it hit me hard...).

I was able to make a reservation in advance, which was a great deal, and if I have the chance to go to Honolulu again, I will definitely make a reservation and visit.

料理は最高でした。
前菜+メイン+デザートとシンプルなメニューですが、とても満腹です。
メインのボリュームすごいっっっ！！
ワイメア牛は和牛に近いです。薪焼きにされていて、良い薫りがしました。
誕生日でのディナーだと伝えたら、プレート(デザート)をサービスしてくれました。
現地で注文したカクテル。美味しいのですがアルコールがキツかったです。(店員さんが強めに作ったと仰ってました…筆者は普段飲まないので、効きました…)

事前に予約できてお得になりましたし、またホノルルに行く機会があれば必ず予約して、寄りたいです。

When heading to the location on foot or by bike, you might wonder, "Am I going the right way?" but following the navigation is perfectly fine. The crew on board is full of humor, making it a relaxing experience, and the excitement with other groups gradually builds up to a maximum tension. My wife, who is not fond of heights, said, "I'm glad I did this!" with a big smile, and she was very satisfied. I absolutely recommend it.

徒歩やbiki等で現地に向かうと「この先であってる？」と感じますがナビどおりで大丈夫です。乗船クルーもユーモアたっぷりでrelax出来ますし他のグループとの盛り上がりで次第にtension maxへ。
高い所が苦手な妻も「やって良かった！」とニコニコ顔で大満足でした。
絶対にオススメします。

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the instructor was always there to guide me and help me, so I was able to complete it safely. The waves were strong, and I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I was able to see some fish, and it was a good experience. I was advised to rent a wetsuit to avoid scraping my knees, but I managed to get through without one.

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、常にインストラクターの方が声掛けや手をひいて下さり、無事に終えることができました。
波が強く、ウミガメさんには会えませんでしたが、それなりにお魚さんも見れましたし、良い体験でした。
膝等を擦り剥かない様、ウエットスーツのレンタルも勧められましたが、なんとか無しで乗り切れました。

As a tourist, I was able to enjoy beautiful scenery at places that required joining a tour. I also saw plenty of sea turtles and fish. The price was a bit high, but I had a great time throughout, the lunch was delicious, and overall, I’m glad I participated!

観光客としてはツアーに参加しないと行けない場所で綺麗な景色を楽しむことができました。ウミガメやお魚もいっぱい見れました。値段は少し高いですが、終始楽しく過ごすことができ、お昼ご飯も美味しく、総合的に参加して良かったです！

Kayaking on the river was a good workout. Our guide, Samuel, was amazing

All the staff speak English.

Before surfing, there is an explanation at the store, and there are Japanese translations available.

After making a reservation, a consent form will be sent via email in English. You can fill it out while translating, so there’s no problem.

During surfing, the instructions are in English, but it's simple English, making it easy to understand and stand up on the board.

The view is great, facing Diamond Head on Waikiki Beach.

A wonderful benefit here is the option for additional photography for a fee. It’s quite pricey, but since they use drones for video recording, it creates amazing memories. The video can also be used to check your body movements for improving your surfing skills.

スタッフは全員英語です。

サーフィン前に店舗で説明がありますが、日本語表記あります。

予約後、事前承諾書が英語でメールが来ます。
こちらは翻訳しながら入力すれば問題ありません。

サーフィン中は英語ですが、簡単な英語なので分かりやすく簡単に立つことができます。

景色はワイキキビーチのダイヤモンドヘッド側なのですごく良いです。

ここの素晴らしいメリットは追加料金の撮影。
結構な値段がしますが、ドローンを使った動画撮影なので、素晴らしい思い出になります。
動画はサーフィンステップアップの為、体の使い方の確認に使えました。

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

I had been to the top of the valley a few times before, but going into the valley was such an experience! It was incredibly peaceful, beautiful, and Kaleo was a wealth of knowledge about his home. I will absolutely be visiting again when family visits 🤙🏻 mahalo for the experience!

We are visiting from Australia and very impressed with the service and quality of this tour. Bus driver was hilarious, he had all the Dad jokes and was very informative. The Pearl Harbor Tour was both informative and respectful. Plus we received a delicious lunch. Bus was very comfortable and clean and on time. Would definitely recommend.

It was a very enjoyable experience, just as the reviews said. I recommend participating in clothes that you don't mind getting sandy.

口コミの通りとても楽しい体験でした。
本当に砂砂になりますので、捨てても良い服での参加をオススメいたします。

Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

I made a reservation the day before, recommended by a local resident. As soon as the reservation was completed, a voucher with a QR code for my assigned seat was issued.

The performance had a Hawaiian vibe with dances and atmosphere, and the immersive experience of Cirque du Soleil was very satisfying.

If you're looking to enjoy something on a Hawaiian night, I highly recommend this experience.

One surprising thing is that as long as there are no flashes during the performance, photography and video recording are allowed.

By the way, the photos were taken from the cheapest seat in the back.

現地在住の方に勧められて、前日に予約しました。
予約完了と同時に、座席指定されたQRコード付きのバウチャーが発券されました。

ハワイらしいダンスや雰囲気がありつつ、シルクドソレイユの臨場感のある公演は大満足でした。

ハワイの夜、何か楽しみたい時には、非常にオススメ出来る内容です。

驚いことが1点、公演中はフラッシュさえ無ければ、写真も動画も撮影OKでした。

ちなみに写真は、後方の1番安い席から撮影しています。

I was grateful that they had laid out yoga mats and were waiting in an easy-to-find spot. Doing beach yoga in the shade of trees was a wonderful opportunity that I can't often experience in Japan!

ヨガマットを敷いてわかりやすい場所で待ってくださっていたのでありがたかったです。木陰でのビーチヨガ、なかなか日本では体験できない良い機会となりました！

As someone with a fear of heights, I found that instead of feeling like I was falling, it felt like I was floating, and I wasn't scared at all. Everything was amazing until we landed on the ground.

The staff were kind, and even though we couldn't speak English well, they provided us with great support.

I would love to experience this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

高所恐怖症の自分ですが、落下する感覚では無く、浮いている感覚で全く怖く無かったです。
地上に着地するまですべてが最高でした。

スタッフの方も親切で、英語の出来ない私たちでしたが、しっかりサポートして頂きました。

次回ハワイに来るときも再度体験したいと思います。

Can I really meet Manta rays!? When I entered the sea and looked around, there were so many sea urchins, and yes, there they were! I was able to see a lot of Manta rays. At first, they swam back and forth near the seabed, and after about 10 minutes, they showed me their bellies. They really came close enough to touch. My husband was so excited that he got to touch them with his fins! I've seen sea turtles a few times, but this was the most thrilling experience. The hot chocolate was delicious!

本当にMantaに会える!？
海に入り覗くと、ウニがいっぱい、
いました、いました!たくさんのMantaに会える事ができました。最初は海底を何回か往復、あと10分くらいかな?と合図が、今度はお腹を見せてくれました。本当に手に届くところまで来てくれます。夫はヒレで触ってもらった!と、大興奮。ウミガメは何回か見たことがありますが最高に感激興奮してぃます。ホットチョコ、美味しかった!

What a wonderful day we had! The captain
and crew were exceptional! They provided everything we needed for snorkeling and the how to’s, plus Island history. They provided a tasty breakfast sandwich on the way and then served us a delicious meal after snorkeling. The crew were amazing and friendly, providing exceptional service with pride and care. This is a must do!! 🌺

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

This is the entertainment I wanted to see, rock and hula! One more king of rock and roll! It's a great memory to be able to take a photo with the performers at the end.

コレが見たかった、ロックとフラのエンターテイメント！
ワンモアーキングオブロックンロール！
最後に出演者と写真を撮れるのはいい思い出になる〜

It was very large in scale, and it felt great to see both the ocean and the green mountains. There were several spots where we could stop to take photos and switch drivers. When we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, there was a Japanese staff member who explained everything very politely, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries. I was a bit concerned after reading reviews about long wait times, but I didn't feel that way at all. After the activities, we had some time to enjoy a meal as well. However, it was crowded and took a while, so I recommend going early after the activities. It was such a wonderful experience that I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii next time.

非常にスケールが大きく、海も山の緑も見られて気持ちが良かったです。何ヶ所かスポットがあり、そこで止まって写真を撮ったり運転を交代することができました。
クアロアランチに到着すると日本人のスタッフさんがいて、とても丁寧に説明して下さったので何も不安なく楽しむことができました。
待ち時間が長い等の口コミを見て少し心配していましたが、あまりそのようには感じなかったです。
アクティビティ終了後に時間があったのでお食事もいただくことができました。ただ混雑していて時間がかかったのでアクティビティ終了後に早めに行くことをおすすめします。
またハワイに行くことがあれば次回も参加したいほど素晴らしい体験でした。

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at the beautiful Kaneohe Sandbar. The weather was great, and the water was clear, allowing me to encounter schools of fish and many sea turtles.

On the way back, there was a surprise stop at Leonard's Malasada Wagon, making it a very satisfying activity.

美しいカネオヘサンドバーでシュノーケリングやSUPを満喫、天気も良く水中の透明度もあり魚群やたくさんのウミガメに出会うことができました。

帰りはレナーズのマラサダワゴンに立ち寄るサプライズもあり、大満足のアクティビティでした。

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful experience. It seemed like they adjusted the angle, and I could see Diamond Head right in front of me from the sky! It was a quick experience, but I would love to do it again when I visit Hawaii.

天気にも恵まれてとても良い経験ができました。角度も調整してくださっているようで上空では目の前にダイヤモンドヘッドが見えました！あっという間の体験でしたがまたハワイに行った際はやりたいです。

Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏

When getting on the boat, there's a high possibility of getting wet up to your knees. (I timed my run to jump on the boat with the waves, so I didn't get wet.) I read in reviews that they gave out small snacks, but this time there were none (?). Since I was drinking alcohol, I wish there had been some snacks (if you need them, bring your own). The Mai Tai was delicious, and I ended up drinking too much.

Thanks to everyone's advice, I brought a jacket. It got chilly with the sea breeze, so wearing a light windbreaker was just right. My partner didn't bring one and ended up wrapping himself in the bath towel I brought.

When getting off the boat, they ask for tips, so it might be good to have some cash on hand. I only had a few dollars or a $100 bill, and I gave them a few dollars, but I felt bad because it seemed too little.

The boat felt like a moving bar, and the fireworks and night view from the sea were amazing. I want to participate again next year!

船に乗る時に膝くらいまで濡れる可能性大です。(私は波のタイミング見て走って乗ったので濡れませんでした)
口コミでは小さなスナックをくれたって書いてあったんですけど、今回は(？)なしでした。お酒飲むのでおつまみあったら良かったなぁ〜(必要な人は持参して)
マイタイ美味しくて飲み過ぎました。
皆さんのアドバイスで上着を持参しました。海風に当たっていたら冷えてきたので薄いウィンドブレーカーを着てちょうど良かったです。相方は持参せず、私が持って行ったバスタオルを羽織ってました。
船を降りる時にチップ要求されるので、適当な現金持ってた方が良いかも。数ドルか100ドル札しかなくて、数ドル渡したけど少なくてごめんなさいって感じでした。
船は動くバーみたいで、海から見る花火と夜景はサイコーでした。
また来年も参加したいです。
