All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guider is so nice, and organized very well, cared every person in the group, answered questions patiently. Also, the tour planned itself is excellent, no hurry, enough time for each activities, especially for seniors.

Thank you!

There are a lot of circle tours to choose from, we picked this one to see turtles and have lunch at the food trucks on the North Shore. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and gave us as much or as little time at each stop as we wanted. Even our teen and pre-teen loved it, which is a huge endorsement! We all liked that it was a small group. The guide's microphone wasn't working at various points which was disappointing since we couldn't hear in back. This was a great way to spend our first full day on the island, it was a really good experience.

I participated with just a show ticket. Although I was in the public relations section, it wasn't too far away, so it was fine. After the show, you can take photos with the cast. I wanted to take a picture with the backup dancers, but it was only with the main cast, which was disappointing.

ショーチケットのみで参加しました。
広報の席はでしたがそこまで距離があるわけでもないので大丈夫でした。
ショーの後にはキャストと写真を撮れます。バックダンサーの方と撮りたかったがメインキャストのみだったのが残念です。

18 of our group of 24 went on this excursion. A few things- SAM was absolutely fantastic! So much knowledge- loved it! The fruit stand was awesome, the macadamia nuts stop was great, we were able to get great souvenirs at the best prices, treats, coffee- delish, bathrooms were clean and staff provided an excellent experience. We did the Waterfalls (definitely recommend) in the morning and had lunch at the cafe/bar there. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Then we did kayaking, SUP and some exploring aka shopping and tastes of local foods, LOL. So glad to have taken this excursion. Sam even had ice in the cooler.

If you're having doubts, I definitely think you should go for it. While saving money is important, I've come to realize that having unforgettable experiences is even more important.

迷いがあるなら絶対にやった方がいいと思います。
お金を貯めるのも大事だが、忘れられない経験をすることのほうが大事だと気付かされました。

I have previously been on the Mai Tai Catamaran in front of the Sheraton and the Nohok 2 Catamaran in front of Outrigger Beach. This was my first time here. The reception staff and the yacht crew were the friendliest.

Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village through a free accommodation experience, I was considering either Holokai in front of Outrigger Reef or Pink Sails in front of the Prince Hotel, but I chose this one due to the departure time.

The snorkeling instructions were in English, so I couldn't understand the details. I recommend watching the videos uploaded by Pink Sails. The snorkeling spot had five other yachts from different companies gathered. On the day, it was windy with some waves, and I heard from the crew that the conditions were a bit tough. I didn't see any turtles, but I was able to see quite a few fish. I think such things can happen when dealing with nature.

After snorkeling, we were given bottled water. The free soft drinks refer to this. Sunscreen is available for free. We raised the sails and enjoyed a refreshing cruise off Waikiki for a while before returning to Outrigger Reef.

　今までシェラトン前のマイタイカタマランとアウトリガービーチ前のナホク2カタマランに乗ったことがあります。こちらは初となります。受付スタッフやヨットのクルーの対応は一番フレンドリーでした。
　無料宿泊体験でヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まったので、歩いていけるアウトリガーリーフ前のホロカイかプリンスホテル前のピンクセイルスどちらかにしようかまよったのですが、出航時間の都合でこちらにしました。
　シュノーケルの注意点は英語でしたので細かいことは分かりませんでした。ピンクセイルスに動画がアップされているので、見ることをお勧めします。シュノーケルをする場所は他社のヨット5隻が集まっていました。当日は風が強く波もありクルーから少しハードなコンディションと聞きました。タートルは見れませんでしたが、魚は結構見ることができました。自然相手なのでそういうこともあると思いいます。
　シュノーケルが終わるとペットボトルの水が渡されました。ソフトドリンク無料というのはこのことです。日焼け止めは無料で使えます。帆を上げて、しばらくワイキキ沖をクルージングし爽快な気分を味わえます。そしてアウトリガーリーフ前へ帰港となります。
　

The kids enjoyed feeding the fish and snorkeling. And the staff was so helpful.

The music on the trip was great. The kids absolutely loved the banana boat

This is our families 3rd time and the staff is so helpful and ensures everyone has an exceptional time

We all had an amazing experience. The staff were friendly, explained everything well and accommodating. Saw plenty of turtles and overall had a wonderful day.

I enjoyed snorkeling in a place with sea turtles. It was quite tiring, but in the second half, we went cruising on a yacht in the waters of Hawaii. It can be quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to be careful. It was interesting to see the process of raising the yacht's sails up close.

ウミガメがいる場所でシュノーケリングを楽しめました だいぶ疲れますが 後半はヨットにのってハワイの海をクルージングです 結構揺れるので船に弱い方は気をつけた方が良いかも ヨットの帆をはる作業が間近で見れ面白かったです

These whole experience was great !!!
The driver Was funny and knowledgeable
Best time

If you come to Hawaii, be sure to experience this! It will be a fun experience. The way the female crew handles everything is wonderful!

ハワイに来たら 体験して下さい！
楽しい 体験になりますよ
女性クルーの 捌きかたは 素晴らしい！

The guide was friendly, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable tour! The food was delicious, and we had a great time. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.

案内人の人も気さくでとても楽しいツアーになりました！
ご飯もおいしく、楽しい時間になりました。
ウミガメも見ることができ、大満足です。

Actually this was our first time coming to Oahu.
We were late for our reservation time but they had arranged for a Captain who was very nice and friendly to take us by speed boat to meet the group, the captain even shared some knowledge of green turtles with us, (sorry I'm not good at remembering people's names
The whole adventure was great we had a fun time and the crew was very nice and friendly, even the green boat crew, highly recommend it.

The banana boat was fun! They stopped along the way, and I was able to see sea turtles from a distance. The bumper tube was a bit tough, so I think I’m good on that, but I’m glad I got to experience it!

When we were at the meeting point, there was a heavy rain and thunder, which made me anxious, but the sea was clear and sunny. However, it started to rain again later, and the water temperature was a bit low, but it wasn't cold enough to make me shiver, and I enjoyed snorkeling and seeing the fish.

It was also reassuring that there were Japanese staff members and others who could speak Japanese.

バナナボートが楽しかったです！途中で止まってくれ、ウミガメも遠くからみれました。バンパーチューブは若干しんどかったのでもういいかなという感じですが体験できてよかったです！
集合場所にいる時は豪雨で雷もなっていて不安でしたが海の方は快晴でした。ただ途中からまた雨が降ってきて水温も低めでしたが震えるほどは寒くなくシュノーケリングも魚が見れても楽しめました。
また日本人スタッフ、他の方も日本語話せる方がいて安心でした。

I went in with somewhat low expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to interact with the dolphins!

We experienced it alongside other Japanese groups, and the friendly Japanese staff were always there to explain things, which was very helpful.

Although there was no dolphin show happening during our visit, we had quite a bit of free time. It felt very homey, as there were staff members who spoke broken Japanese and checked in on us while we were exploring!

少し期待値低めで行ったためか、思った以上にイルカに触れることができてよかったです！

私たちは他の日本人グループの方たちと一緒に体験し、気さくな日本人のスタッフの方が常に説明してくださりとても助かりました。

園内はイルカショーもしていないタイミングで時間はかなり持て余しましたが、カタコトで日本語を話す方が散策中も会うと気にかけてくださったりアットホームなところでした！

The sea was beautiful, and I encountered many fish and turtles. The playful captain caught a seahorse and showed it to us. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, during snorkeling, the female staff member stayed close by, guiding and encouraging me. I was moved by their warm hospitality. I often use Veltra for my travels, and I've never had a bad experience!

海は美しく、たくさんの魚や亀に出会いました。いたずら好き？な船長さんがたつのおとしごを捕まえて見せてくれました。
泳ぎが得意ではないですが、シュノーケリングではスタッフの女性がずっとそばにいてくれて、声をかけて誘導してくれました。
ホスピタリティ溢れる対応に感動しました。
旅行ではよくベルトラさんを利用させていただきますが、ハズレは全くないです‼️

We came as a group of 9. All of the workers were very accomodating and had great vibes. The live music was also amazing. We enjoyed all the activities and had a blast during our tour. Definitely recommend!

Loved the food and the show was great. I will come back and recommend everything

Bus was half hour late. Received email half hour before our pick up time moving our pick up to a different location which created confusion for about 11 of us waiting to be picked up at original pick up site- our hotel! Very frustrating with no apologies. Very poor.

Very good time and price is good for you get. Well organize and having restricted area avoid to be around too many people. Thanks

Most participants were international travelers, but there were hardly any Japanese people on the tour. I worked hard to listen to the English being spoken and realized my lack of language skills. However, I was very satisfied with the tour overall. Although it was a group booking with one vehicle, I learned for the first time that if there are several participants in the group who want to drive, multiple group bookings are necessary, as only two people can drive in one vehicle.

ほとんどの参加者が、海外旅行客
ただし、日本人はほとんどいないツアー
一生懸命に英語の話を聞き、語学力のなさが実感
しかし、ツアーとしては非常に満足することが出来た
発注単位のグループで１台の車両であったが、運転したいグループ参加者が福数人いる場合は、グループ発注を複数回行わないと、１台の車両では２名しか運転できない事が初めて分かった

Best activity in Hawaii! So fun for my family, nicest people made my kids feel comfortable. I only wish it was longer. We saw huge turtles and lots of fish, it was truly an amazing experience that I’ll never forget!

It was an exhilarating show that was completely different from what I had imagined a Polynesian show would be! First of all, the power of the Polynesian show was incredibly moving. And the rock show was the best. Michael's singing and dancing were a sight to behold! After the show, there was a greeting and photo opportunity. I took a picture with Michael and shook his hand, but I was shaking all over, and I could tell he was performing despite being exhausted, which brought me to tears. It's a soulful show that I highly recommend everyone to see!

自分が想像していたポリネシアンショーとは一線を画す大興奮ショーでしたよ！
まず、ポリネシアンショーの迫力は凄く感動しました。
そして、ロックショー、最高でした。マイケルの歌、ダンス、一見あり！
ショーの後、グリーティング、写真撮影出来ました。
マイケルと写真撮影して握手してもらいましたが、全身震えていて、満身創痍でパフォーマンスしているのが分かり、涙が出ました。
そんな魂のショー、是非皆さん観てください！

I participated in a group lesson starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived. First, we received an explanation and safety briefing through a video in English indoors. After that, we walked to the beach in front of the Honolulu Zoo, where the instructor provided guidance on land before we entered the water. However, since the instructor's explanations were also in English, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English at all.

Other participants were also from Canada and the mainland, so I was able to experience a bit of a study abroad atmosphere through English communication. The waves were not too big, making them just right for beginners. With the instructor's help while riding, everyone was able to stand up and ride the waves.

Since being able to swim was a prerequisite, it was a bit tough to paddle back and forth to the spot to catch the waves, but thanks to that, I was able to sleep soundly from the first day and managed to avoid jet lag afterward.

到着した日の午後からグループレッスンに参加しました。
まず室内にて英語による動画で説明、注意点の講習を受けた後にホノルル動物園前のビーチに徒歩で移動、そこでインストラクターから海に入る前に陸上で指導して頂きますがインストラクターの方の説明も英語なので、英語が全く分からないと少しキツいかもしれません。
他の参加者もカナダや本土から来ていた方で、英語によるコミュニケーションなので少しプチ留学の気分を味わう事ができました。
波はそれほど大きくなく初心者にはちょうど良い強さでインストラクターの方にライドする際に押してもらえば参加者の全員が立って波に乗る事ができました。
泳げる事が前提なので自分自身で波に乗る場所までパドリングで往復する必要があるため少し大変でしたが、おかげで初日からぐっすり眠れその後時差ボケせずに過ごすことができました。

Overall is very good. The lobster is very tasty, the steak is great, the view to the fire work is amazing, the crews are super friendly, the dance performance is fantastic. We enjoyed the dance at the end with a lot of laughs & funs together. Highly recommended.

I'm glad they provided raincoats for us. My lower legs inevitably got wet, but I brought a change of clothes just in case, so it wasn't a problem. (laughs)

レインコートも貸して頂けるので良かったです。膝から下はどうしても濡れてしまいますが。
念のため、着替えも持参していたので問題なかったです。(笑)

I visit Hawaii regularly every year. I have participated in various sailing activities, but Holokai Catamaran has been the best, so this is my third consecutive year joining them.

The most wonderful aspect is, of course, the view of Waikiki from the sea, but even more so, the friendly attitude and service spirit of the crew. They offer unlimited drinks and provide timely refills, which reflects the hospitality that Japanese people appreciate, and it makes me happy.

There are many sailing options in Waikiki, but this one is the best. If you're considering it, definitely go and check it out!

毎年HAWAIIには定期的に伺います。
いろいろなセーリングに参加していましたがホロカイカタマランが一番良かったので今回で3年続けて参加させて頂きました。
何よりも素晴らしいのは当然海から見るワイキキの風景ですが、それにもましてクルーのフレンドリーな対応やサービス精神です。
飲み放題ですがタイムリーにお代わりの飲み物を提供してくれたり日本人が喜ぶもてなしの精神か伺え嬉しくなります。
ワイキキには数多くセイリングがありますが
ココが一番です。
ご検討の人は是非行って見てください。

First, I was taught how to stand on the beach, and since we were facing the ocean, even beginners were able to ride the waves! There were multiple instructors watching over us, so I felt safe while having fun!

はじめに浜で立ち方を教えてもらって、海に向かうので、初心者でも波にのる事ができました！先生も複数人いて、全体を見てて貰えるので安心して遊ぶ事が出来ます！
