All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Best tour to snorkel, tube rides and banana boat rides.

Had a great time on and off the boat. Lots of snorkeling, tubing, banana boat, kayaking, and paddling. Recommend to everyone

The sea was incredibly beautiful! It was a bit cloudy, so it would have been even more stunning on a sunny day. There were fish around the rocky areas, but you have to go quite far out to find more rocky spots, so the elementary school kids couldn't reach the areas where the fish were. However, we had a great time just at the water's edge, so I was very satisfied! The lunch was delicious no matter what we chose! We made wonderful memories!!

とっても綺麗な海でした！少し曇りぎみだったので晴天だったらもっと綺麗だったんだろーなぁ。
岩場には魚もいましたが結構沖まで行かないとあまり岩場はないので小学生では魚がいるような岩場までは行けませんでした。
でも波打ち際だけでもかなり楽しんでいたので大満足です！
ランチもどれを選んでも美味しかったです！いい思い出が作れました！！

We took the tour to the sandbar and snorkeling. The staff were friendly and super thoughtful, the food was great!

In the latter half of November, I participated on the first night in Waikiki. Participants were given leis and enjoyed drinks and a buffet at a long table. I was particularly impressed by the sweetness of the fruits.

After that, we moved to the theater and went to the VIP seats. I asked the staff about the seating and got a center seat in the second row. The performance was powerful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the impersonation stage, Hawaiian songs, hula dancing, and fire dancing.

Lastly, it was great to be able to take photos with the impersonation talent.

１１月後半、ワイキキ初日の晩に参加しました。
参加者はレイをかけていただき、長テーブル相席でドリンクとビュッフェを堪能しました。特にフルーツの甘さに感動しました。
その後、シアターーに移動し、ＶＩＰ席へ。
席は担当者に質問してステージのセンター席へ。２列目でしたので演奏が迫力ありましたし、モノマネステージやハワイアンソング、フラダンスやファイヤーダンスを思い切り楽しめました。
最後にモノマネタレントさんと写真撮影できたことが良かったです。

All the crew were extremely friendly and helpful. Such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Would definitely go again and have already recommended it to a few friends.

Picked up at the hotel at 8:30.
After about an hour on a large bus, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch!
Since we had only been sightseeing around our hotel in Waikiki, it felt like we had entered a different world with breathtaking views! It was completely different from the moment we arrived!
When we got there, a Japanese attendant explained the meeting place and checked us in in Japanese, so we could participate in the tour with peace of mind.
However, since I chose the afternoon tour, I had quite a bit of free time.
I had enough time to look at souvenirs, buy some, and even take a nap (laughs). My husband was so tired from the previous days that he took a little nap on a bench (laughs).
So, maybe an afternoon tour isn't the best option? It seems like the departure time for the bus going there doesn't change. The return bus seemed to leave around 1 PM.
We departed for our return at 3:45 PM. It felt like we spent the whole day!
The buggy tour stopped at various points, where the tour guide took photos and explained the history and movies.
However, all of this was in English... I couldn't understand the English, so I didn't know why everyone was laughing at certain moments (laughs). Even that is a good memory, but I think it would be even more fun if I understood English!

8:30泊まっているホテルにピックアップ。
1時間くらい大型バスに乗って、クアロアランチへ！
ワイキキのホテル周辺を観光していただけなので、別世界に来たみたいで絶景でした！着いた瞬間から全然違った！
着いたら日本人のアテンドさんが日本語で集合場所などを説明してくれたりチェックインをしてくれていましたので安心してツアーに参加できました。
ただ私は午後開始ツアーを選んだので、かなり時間が余りました。
お土産を見たり買ったりご飯を食べたりしてもお昼寝できるくらいの時間が(笑)夫は連日の疲れでベンチで少し寝てた(笑)
なので午後開始ではなく午前開始ツアーでもいいかも？行きのバスの出発時間は変わらないみたいなので。帰りは13時くらいのバスが出るみたいでした。
私たちは15:45に帰り出発でした。1日使ったって感じ！
バギーのツアーは所々で止まって、ツアーガイドさんが写真を撮ってもらったり、歴史や映画の説明をしてくれました。
ただこれは全部英語だった…英語がわからないのでみんなが笑っているタイミングで何で笑ってるかわかんなかった(笑)それすらもいい思い出ですが、英語がわかればもっと楽しいと思います！

I had a horseback riding experience, but since I had never ridden alone for a long time, I was nervous. However, the horse was smart, and the instructor was kind, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. I was able to feel the ocean, mountains, and the great outdoors, and I had a wonderful time.

乗馬体験はありましたが、1人で長時間乗ることはなかったので緊張しました。しかし、お馬が賢くお姉さんも優しく教えてくださったので安心して楽しむことができました。海！山！大自然を感じることができて素敵な時間を過ごせました。

We participated as a family. It was enjoyable not just as a hula dance but also as a show with singing and dancing. I think people of all ages can easily have fun.

家族で参加しました
フラダンスだけでなく歌や踊りのショーとして楽しめました
年代に関係なく気軽に楽しめると思います

Good tour, highly recommend. Driver was great, made extra stops.

I had a Cessna flying experience that exceeded my expectations! The pilot was able to communicate in Japanese, which made me feel even more at ease during the experience. Additionally, I felt that everyone’s service, from the pick-up to the waiting time at the office, was excellent. I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but I had no worries at all.

Next time I come to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate in the Cessna flying experience again!

想像以上にセスナの操縦体験ができました！
パイロットの方も日本語で対応していただけたので、更に安心して体験することができました。
更に送迎からオフィスでの待ち時間まで、皆さんの対応が非常にいいと感じました。
一人で参加で不安でしたが、まったく心配いらなかったです。

次回、ハワイに来た際もぜひ、セスナ体験操縦に参加したいと思いました！

This is my second time on board since 2017. The weather was nice, and I was able to spend a wonderful time feeling great. Although I didn't see any honu, the captain found a whale for us, and we were able to see it spouting water and showing its tail.

2017年以来の２度目の乗船。
天気も良く、気持ちよく最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ホヌは見れませんでしたが、船長がクジラを見つけて
くれて、クジラが潮を吹き、尾びれを出している所まで見れました。

There were no Japanese people at all, but I enjoyed the sunset while drinking something delicious. Since we went quite far out, seeing Diamond Head from the sea was refreshing.

全く日本の方はいませんでしたが、おいしく飲みながらサンセットを楽しみました。
結構沖のほうまで行くので海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも新鮮です。

There are various activities available, but I chose the zip line. It turned out to be the right choice. There are five lines (or six?), and I had a more fulfilling experience than I expected. Next, I would like to try horseback riding.

いろいろなアクティビティがるが、ジップラインを選択しました。結果正解です。ラインも
５本（６本？）あり、想定していたより充実した体験ができました。次は乗馬を体験したい
と思います。

Great crew. Better than expected. I would definitely do this again.

What’s super wonderful trip - the staff could not be more fun!

Great guide and really fun! My family and I biked around the ranch. Very beautiful.

It was my first time on a cruise ship. I was happy to see both the sunset and a rainbow at the same time. The staff and the guests were all cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. I would like to participate again.

初めて乗ったクルーズ船。夕日と虹を同時に見られて幸せでした。スタッフもお客さんもみんな陽気で楽しかったです。また参加したいと思います。

There are many elderly tourists. Perhaps because the prices are high, it seems that younger people tend to use rental bicycles more. It might be better if the prices were a bit lower.

お年寄り観光客が多い。
値段が高いからか、若い人は、レンタサイクルが多い印象。
もう少し安いといいかも。

I challenged myself with my daughter, who is about to get married. It was fun. It was an experience like no other. I recommend trying it at least once.

結婚を控えた娘とチャレンジしました。
楽しかったです。
何にも例えようのない体験でした。
一度は体験することをおすすめします。

There are often clouds on the horizon, so you might not be able to see the sunset, but the mood is absolutely fantastic. Although there are only light snacks and alcohol, I really enjoyed the 90-minute sailing.

水平線上に雲が出ることが多いので夕陽の沈むタイミングは見られないかもしれませんが、何よりムードが最高です。
軽食とアルコールのみですが90分間のセーリングはとても楽しめました。

I participated with my 10-year-old child and my mother in her 70s. Just to be safe, we borrowed life jackets on-site. It really felt like we were surfing, and the waves and wind were refreshing; we had an amazing time! I highly recommend it.

10歳の子供と70代の母と一緒に参加しました。念の為ライフジャケットは現地で借りました。
本当にサーフィンをしているようで、波と風が気持ちよく、最高に楽しみました！
おすすめです。

Our tour guide was Wes. He was an excellent tour guide in charge was knowledgeable, entertaining & a historian of Hawaiian culture. We learned so much. We were touched so profoundly by the memorials.🇺🇸💝

We learned so much and enjoyed Burt, our guide. He was entertaining, knowledgeable & made the whole experience memorable.

With excitement for my first experience in a Cessna, I grasped the controls and took off into the sky. The presence of a professional pilot next to me provided a sense of security, allowing me to fully enjoy the emerald green sea, the scenery, and the thrill of heading towards the horizon from above.

セスナ初体験でワクワクしながら、操縦桿を握り、空へと飛び立った。隣にプロパイロットがいる安心感があり、空からのエメラルドグリーンの海、景色、水平線に向かって進む快感を充分に味わうことができました。

Unfortunately, it was rainy and cloudy. However, once it started, it wasn't raining, but I still couldn't capture the sunset beautifully. The staff worked hard to take many photos to make it look nice, and I had a very good experience. Thank you very much! 😊

あいにく雨で　曇りでした💦　でも　始まると雨も降ってなく　でも　やっぱり　サンセットが　あまり綺麗に撮れなかったけど　スタッフの皆さんが　一生懸命　綺麗に映るように　写真をいっぱい撮って下さって　とても良い体験が出来ました(o^^o) 感謝　ありがとうございました😊

It was raining, but I was able to go ahead with the outdoor activity thanks to the loan of a raincoat. It was my second time horseback riding, and it wasn't particularly difficult; the magnificent scenery was very pleasant. The horses were also adorable.

雨が降っていましたが、カッパを貸していただいて雨天決行できました。
乗馬は2度目でしたが、特に難しいことなく、壮大な景色がとても気持ちよかったです。馬も可愛いです。

This time, the water depth was quite deep, and I couldn't touch the bottom. I could see sea turtles and coral reefs nearby, and the guide provided excellent explanations, which made it enjoyable. The spam onigiri was very delicious! 😊

今回は水深が深く足が付くか付かないくらいでした。
ウミガメと珊瑚礁が近くに見え、ガイドさんの説明も良くして頂いたので楽しめるました。
スパムおにぎりがとても美味しかったです(^^♪

A noticeable small bus welcomed us at the meeting point. There were a total of 17 tour participants, with only 3 Japanese, and all explanations were in English. There was a self-introduction time, so we needed to briefly introduce ourselves in English, mentioning where we were from, how many times we had been to Hawaii, and what we were looking forward to on this tour.

Now, although it has been corrected, I was worried because the tour course I signed up for was supposed to go directly from Honolulu to Haleiwa Town, but it deviated from the course midway. We switched from Freeway H1 to H3, passed through Kaneohe on the east coast, and headed north along the coastline. After passing the famous filming location Kualoa Ranch, we took a restroom break at Tropical Farms. Here, we could sample macadamia nuts and had the experience of cracking the nuts out of their shells with a stone. After a break at a fruit stand, we went to Sunset Beach. It was November, and surfers were challenging the high waves.

Then, the morning activities began, and we chose to take a walk at Waimea Falls Park. The entrance fee to the park was included in the tour price, and the guide paid for it. The course to the waterfall was rich in nature and very relaxing. The water volume of the waterfall was abundant due to the rainy season, which was enjoyable, but during the dry season, the water volume is low, so it's something to be cautious about depending on the date of your visit. We could swim near the waterfall, but it was murky, so we didn't swim. Since we had some time before the meeting time, we had lunch there.

After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, and in the afternoon activity, we tried SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The location was behind a shop called Surf & Sea, and life jackets were available at no extra charge. The tour guide provided instruction, and while it was easy to get on the board, standing up required some skill. We could also paddle while sitting on the board, which was enjoyable, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle up close.

Although I was worried because the tour was in a language I didn't understand, I was helped by a friendly guide and friendly tour companions.

目立つ小さなバスが集合場所まで出迎えてくれました。
ツアー客は総勢17人で、その中で日本人は3人だけ、全て英語での説明となります。
自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。

Renting a wetsuit was a good decision for warmth and injury prevention. I swam for about an hour from one end of the bay to the other at the guide's pace, which was quite tiring, and I experienced seasickness. It was tough for seniors, so I wished we could have taken a break along the way.

ウェットスーツは防寒とケガ防止のためにレンタルしてよかったです。
約1時間、湾の端から端までガイドのペースで泳ぎ続けたのでかなり疲れ、波酔いを経験しました。
シニアには辛いので途中、休憩させて欲しかった。
