All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

We participated as a couple in our 60s. The only other couple was in their 30s. As a mini tour, we were guided to several places, and we were especially able to see about eight sea turtles, which really impressed my wife. Originally, my wife was interested in Haleiwa and was looking forward to it, but it seemed she enjoyed it even more with the added mini tour. We are grateful to our Japanese-speaking driver. We also gave a generous tip (my wife did).

60代の夫婦２人で参加させていただきました。私たちのは他には30代の夫婦の１組。ミニツアーとして、いくつかの場所に案内していただき、特にウミガメを８匹ほど、その姿を見ることができ妻がとても感激していました。元々、妻がハレイワに興味があり楽しみにしていましたが、プラスアルファのミニツアーでより楽しんでいたようです。日本語ドライバーさんに感謝。チップもかなり弾んで渡していました（妻が）

Josh our driver was great and very knowledgable and very entertaining . Kualoa is great and clean very nice . I would visit again with some more add ons like the zip line and the EV Bike tour

The beach was so beautiful and the water was clear. We enjoyed snorkeling.

Beach was so beautiful and water was clear. We enjoyed snorkeling.

Everyone was helpful, polite and made the entire experience enjoyable. Would 100% recommend

We are a couple in our 50s who absolutely love the ocean in Hawaii. We are not very confident in swimming, snorkeling, or speaking English.

We chose this tour because it includes "admission tickets" and "round-trip transportation" in the tour price, making it cheaper than other tours. Additionally, we can watch the video that is usually shown on-site while traveling on the bus, which allows us to make effective use of our time. It was also great that we could choose the bus times for both the outbound and return trips.

<Items we brought>
Swimsuits, change of clothes, snorkeling goggles, floaties, beach towels, mats, sunscreen, sunglasses, smartphones (in waterproof cases), Wi-Fi, water shoes, hats, credit cards, and food (drinks, lunch | spam rice balls | fruits | snacks).

We were able to store large luggage in the bus's cargo area. We brought a large floatie, and it was fine to keep it inflated.

At Hanauma, we rented beach chairs and lockers. It seems you can choose between half-day and full-day rentals. The beach chairs were very comfortable, and I highly recommend them. We used the lockers for our valuables.

The ocean floor is rocky and uneven, so it's essential to bring water shoes.

One major complaint was about the return bus. I'm not sure if it was because we took the last bus, but it made many stops around Waikiki, and it took us 90 minutes to reach our drop-off point after boarding at Hanauma. We were quite exhausted! Additionally, the air conditioning on the bus was extremely cold, and I ended up catching a cold. It might be a good idea to bring a light jacket. This was a downside for us. Everything else was great! I recommend this tour.

ハワイの海が大好きな、50代の夫婦です。
泳ぎやシュノーケリング、英語に自信がありません。

このツアーを選定したのは、
「入場券」と「往復の送迎」がツアー代金に含まれていて、他のツアーよりも安かった点。
また、往路のバス内で通常は現地で見るビデオを移動中に見ることができるので、時間の有効活用ができる点。
往路・復路ともバスの時間が選べるのも良かった点です。

＜持参したもの＞
水着・着替え・水中眼鏡・浮輪・ビーチタオル・シート（敷物）・日焼け止め・
サングラス・スマホ（防水ケースに入れて）・Wi-Fi・マリンシューズ・帽子・クレジットカード・食料（ドリンク・ランチ｜すぱむのおにぎり｜フルーツ｜おやつ）。

大きな荷物はバスの貨物室に入れてくれました。
私たちは大きな浮輪をもっていったのですが、空気を入れたままで大丈夫でした。

ハナウマではビーチチェアとロッカーをレンタル。
半日と1日と選べるようです。
ビーチチェアはとても快適でした。おすすめです。
ロッカーは、貴重品入れとして使用しました。

海の中は石や岩でゴツゴツしていますので、
マリンシューズは必ず持参した方が良いです。

1つ大きな不満は復路のバスです。
最終便に乗ったのが悪かったのか不明ですが、
ワイキキ内をぐるぐると多くの停車地に停まり、
私たちの降車希望地まで、ハナウマで乗車してから90分もかかりました。
だいぶぐったりです！
加えてバスの冷房が激寒で風邪をひいてしまいました。
1枚羽織るものを持って行った方が良いかもしれません。
この点がマイナスポイントでした。
その他はとても良かった！お勧めのツアーです。

The microbus picks up passengers from various locations and goes together. The driver and guide, Daku, is really attentive and cheerful, making for a fun tour. There’s never a dull moment, and he speaks Japanese fluently. There are plenty of stops, so you won’t get bored at all. However, it’s not overwhelming; it’s just the right amount of activity. You can choose the more expensive custard or chocolate malasadas. The shops we stop at do have tourist prices, but they don’t push you to buy like some Asian tourist spots do. The lunch at Shrimp TANAKA is cash-only, but you can use cards as well. You can get as many drinks as you want on the bus. The snorkeling might be less satisfying for those who frequently swim in the ocean, as the seawater is surprisingly murky. The snorkeling activity is about 50/50, depending on the condition of the seawater. On the way back, they will drop you off at your hotel. The order of the spots and the timing may change depending on the traffic and weather on the day, so if you prefer a tightly scheduled tour (if you’re particular about timing and order), this might not be the best fit for you.

マイクロバスであちこちから乗客がピックアップされて混載で行きます。ドライバー&ガイドのダクさんは本当に細やかで陽気で、楽しいツアーです。笑いが絶えず、バリバリ日本語が上手です。立ち寄りスポットも盛りだくさんで全く飽きません。とはいえ、盛りだくさん過ぎて疲れるということもなく、ちょうど良い充実でした。マラサダはカスタードとかチョコレートの高い方も選べます。途中でいくつか寄るショップも観光地価格ではありますが、アジアの観光地のようにしつこく勧めてきたりもありません。昼食のシュリンプTANAKAはキャッシュオンリーと掲示されていますが、カードも使えます。バスで配られる飲み物は何本でももらえます。シュノーケルは思いのほか海水が濁っているので、海によく入る人には満足度は低いかもしれません。シュノーケルの催行は50/50で、やはり海水の様子で決まるようです。帰りは泊まっているホテルまで送ってくれます。当日の交通状況や天気等によって、スポットの順番や時間は変わるので、ガチガチにスケジューリングされたツアーが好きな方（時間や順番にうるさい方）はちょっと向かないかもしれません。

It was very enjoyable to be picked up by the bus near the hotel! During the bus ride, they explained the tourist attractions in Waikiki, and although I only understood about 70% of the English, I was able to learn about the history and had a great time. Since there was no need to buy tickets, we were guided right away upon arrival, allowing us to enjoy our time to the fullest!

I was able to see many colorful and cute fish in the shallow waters. When I went, I even saw a seal lounging on the beach for its nap time. It was a rare experience. On the way back, the tour guide spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the ride! I ended up falling asleep from being tired at the beach, but thank you for safely picking us up and dropping us off! I definitely want to visit Hanauma Bay again on my next trip to Hawaii!

ホテルの近くからバスに乗せてもらえてとても楽でした！
バス乗車中もワイキキの観光名所の説明をしてくれていて、英語が分かるのは7割程度でしたが歴史なども知ることができ楽しかったです。
チケットも買う必要がないので着いたらすぐ案内してくれ時間いっぱい楽しむことができました！
浅瀬でもカラフルでかわいい魚を沢山見ることができました。
私が行った時は、アザラシが陸に上がってお昼寝タイムをしているのを見れました。貴重な体験ができました。
帰りは日本語が話せる添乗員さんだったので、安心して乗ることができました！
海で疲れて眠ってしまいましたが、安全に送り迎えしてくださりありがとうございました！！また次回のハワイ来訪時にもハナウマ湾ぜひ来たいと思います！！

The whole family (17 of us) had the best time. From booking to pick up to the boat, sandbar, and snorkeling; what am amazing experience. The crew was so kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Captain Bob's! Such a fun experience!!

This is the second time I've done this cruise and it is just as great as the first time.
Dinner, entertainment and service were all excellent.
Will do this again and highly recommend it.

Had a great fun time. Crew was excellent! Captain Carlos, mate Dez and the best bartender in Waikiki-Caitlin all were great.
Will do this again, for sure

It was easy to get there by taxi from Honolulu, taking about 30 minutes (around 6000 yen) one way. I recommend it for those who have been to Hawaii multiple times and want a different experience. However, it might be tough for those who don't understand English.

ホノルルからタクシーで、片道30分(6000円くらい)で気軽に行けました。
ハワイに何度も行っており、違った体験をしたいと言う方にはおすすめです。
ただ、英語がわからない方は厳しいかもしれません。

There was plenty of time to sightsee at each location, so there was no rush.

The guide also provided explanations about the sights visible from the bus during the journey, and their attentive service made the experience very enjoyable.

それぞれの場所で観光する時間がしっかり確保されていたので、バタバタすることはありませんでした。

ガイドさんも、行き帰りのバスの中でも、車窓から見える所の説明などもして頂き、丁寧な対応で、とても楽しむことができました。

A great tour to get you a day at Pearl Harbor alongside history of Waikiki!

For the price you can't go wrong! Good food, on the gorgeous waters, with local entertainment - 10 out of 10

If you miss out on booking the self drive tour, this one is still awesome as you get great history from the guides!

We loved this tour as it helped us navigate great parts of the island as we were nervous to get lost in all the wonder of Oahu!

Great shuttle getting us and a beautiful easy hike!

Fun history of Oahu and Oahu on film alongside a fabulous ride!

Quicker event but with my wife having mobility issues this was a great way to be on the water!

Family loved this, great day for all ages to have fun together.

A bit crowded as they have a lot they can carry on the boat, but the entertainment was wonderful

This tour wrapped up in a perfect way with a trip to Pearl Harbor, lots of history, and a stop at the punchbowl was ideal for our family.

Thrills and comfort on knowing the facility and equipment was well cared for

Lots of history detailed all throughout the park, giving you immense history on the Pearl Harbor events.

Lots of history of the islands, and a great evening show to top it off!

Delicious foods and fruits, and wonderful sites seen throughout the Oahu island!

There was a Japanese female instructor who stayed by my side, and at 68 years old, I was able to experience snorkeling for the first time and even see dolphins! It was a wonderful experience! ✨

日本人の女性インストラクターがいて、そばに付いていてくれて68歳にして初めてシュノーケリングを体験でき、イルカも見る事ができました！素晴らしい体験を経験できました✨

This was my second experience, and there were more participants than last time. The sand protection masks were also a nice touch, making it more enjoyable! I definitely recommend participating. The kids were satisfied too.

2回目の体験でしたが前回よりも参加者が多かったです。
砂よけのマスクもあり充実でした！
ぜひ参加おすすめです。
子供達も満足です

I have been on this tour before and every time I have enjoyed myself. This time my nephew came and he enjoyed himself as well. The bus ride was very nice and the drive was very entertaining as well as knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour if you would like to see Pearl Harbor, USS Missouri and etc.

This time, the waves were rough, and the seawater had a smell, so it wasn't great. Next time, I hope to come when the conditions are better.

今回は ナミ が荒くて 海水 も匂っていて今一つ でした。 次回は 条件が いい時を狙って きたいと思います。
