All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

We had a great transportation to and from the boat. The driver was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the area.I loved being able to snorkel, swim and just be on the platform. There was musical entertainment on the boat, which was nice on the way to and on the way back from the sandbar. The crew made everything fun and made sure that everyone was safe. I would do it again, for sure, and maybe next time I will have the courage to try the stand up paddle board.

I was able to explore under clear skies without encountering any squalls.

I had high expectations for the movie location tour, so I felt it was just okay and wasn't particularly moved. However, I was impressed by the breathtaking views during the jungle exploration tour, especially since I didn't have high expectations for that. It's all about not expecting too much!

スコールにも合わず、晴天の中回れました。

映画のロケ地巡りは期待が大きかったこともあり、まあまあと感じ、感動まではいきませんでしたが、ジャングル探検ツアーは期待していなかった分、絶景に感動しました（笑）
期待し過ぎないことですね。

After the reception, you watch a Japanese safety video, and then it's time to start horseback riding. The horses are incredibly smart, so even beginners can ride with confidence. They will first teach you how to stop, start, and turn left and right, but since the horses are intelligent, they will walk and stop on their own without much input from you. Once you start, you won't get off the horse, and you'll ride in a line for a solid two hours or more through the great outdoors. The horses are equipped with bags where you can store drinks, so it's possible to drink while riding. Additionally, taking photos with your smartphone is allowed, so you can capture the beautiful natural scenery while riding. In Japan, you can't have such a long horseback riding experience, so I'm really glad I participated.

受付後、日本語の注意事項映像を見たら、乗馬してスタートです。馬はすごい賢いので、素人でも安心して乗馬できます。止まり方、スタートの仕方、左右方向への方向転換は最初に教えてくれますが、馬が賢いので、こちらが操作しなくても、歩いたり、止まったりしてくれます。スタートしたら、馬から降りることはなく、一列になってひたすら大自然の中を、みっちり２時間＋α、乗馬し続けます。飲み物等を入れれる袋を馬に装備しているため、乗馬しながら、飲み物を飲むことは可能です。また、スマホでの写真撮影はＯＫのため、乗馬しながら大自然の風景を撮影することができます。日本では、こんなに長い時間、馬に乗る経験はできないため、参加して本当に良かったと思います。

The most perfect day ever. Captain Robin was beyond amazing and hannah was so lovely. The whole experience was a 10/10 it was my favorite day on the trip. I was with a party of 6 and the attention to making sure we all had a great time was so amazing. The snorkel was so ethereal we saw so many turtles and fishes. The sandbar activities were so fun. Would recommend to everyone !!

This time, I purchased from Veltra because there was a discount coupon. If there is no coupon, it's cheaper to buy on-site using coupons like those found in free papers. Also, for seniors, even at regular price, it's cheaper on-site.

今回はベルトラの割引クーポンがあったので、ベルトラから購入しました。クーポンがない場合には、フリーペーパーについているようなクーポンを利用して現地で購入したほうが安いです。
また、シニアのかたは定価でも、現地のほうが安いです。

Driving the buggy can be a bit nerve-wracking at first, but you'll get used to it if you keep at it. I had so much fun driving for over two hours! You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii compared to Waikiki.

After the buggy ride, the lunch break before getting on the bus is short, so you should either order right away as soon as the activity ends or stick to something simple like a sandwich, otherwise, you won't have time to eat due to the high number of participants.

バギーの運転は最初不安があるものの、続けていれば慣れます。二時間以上運転してとにかく楽しかった！ワイキキとは違うハワイを満喫できます。
バギーの後、バスに乗る前のランチの時間が短いので、アクティビティが終了次第すぐに注文するか、サンドウィッチなど簡単なもので済ますかしないと、利用者が多いので食事をする時間がなくなります。

We chose Chief’s Luau for our honeymoon and it was one of the best moments of our trip. Chief made sure we laughed all the time and got impressed by the outstanding performance. Definetly worth it and we are sure we will go back.

Went on this sunset cruise with my wife on our honeymoon and gotta say it was definitely a highlight! Big Ryan was super cool too

I mistakenly thought this was a plan to kayak in Kahana Valley. The actual content only allows for renting kayaks in Kailua. We had to transport the kayaks to Kahana Valley ourselves, and since we didn't have a rental car that could accommodate them, we gave up on kayaking in Kahana Valley. The staff was very kind, and instead of kayaking, we rented E-bikes and explored the Kaka'ako area. While we should have looked more closely at the reservation details, I think many people might misunderstand based on the title and illustrations. It would be appreciated if there was a note stating that only kayak rentals are available.

カハナ渓谷でカヤックできるプランだと勘違いしました。内容はカイルアでカヤックを借りれるのみ。カハナ渓谷までは自分達でカヤックを運搬しなければならず、積み込みのできるレンタカーもしていなかった為、カハナ渓谷でのカヤックは断念しました。スタッフはとても優しく、カヤックを断念した代わりに、Eバイクをレンタルさせてもらい、カカアコ周辺を散策しました。予約内容を詳しく見ていなかった私達にも落ち度がありますが、タイトルやイラストを見ると、勘違いしてしまう人も多いと思います。カヤックがレンタルできるのみと注意書きをしてもらえれば有難いです。

Exceptional cruise! Great service; friendly staff; fantastic entertainment; overall experience was outstanding!!! Highly recommend!!

I participated in a tour of Manoa Falls✌️
It wasn't just a trek; we learned about the plants along the way, found wild avocados, and touched a mahogany tree. I never knew the surface of a mahogany trunk, which becomes high-end furniture, looked like that (I won't say, so go touch it yourself).
Our guides, Jason and Tomomi, were amazing✨
We had lunch while overlooking Waikiki from Tantalus Hill.
The tuna sandwich from the popular spot, Andy's, was exquisite.
It's such a great deal since you can eat without waiting in line‼️
The view from the hilltop was fantastic, with Diamond Head on the left, the high-rise buildings of Waikiki in the center, and to the right, you could see from Honolulu Airport to Pearl Harbor, as Tomomi said, "half of Oahu Island."
The weather was perfect today, and we could even see Molokai Island faintly in the distance️.
It was a tour where you can feel nature close to Honolulu.

マノア滝のツアーに参加✌️
ただのトレッキングではなく、道沿いの植物の話や野生のアボカドを見つけたり、マホガニーの木に触ったり。高級家具になるマホガニーの幹の表面があんなだったなんて（言いませんよ　さわりに行ってください）
ジェイソンさんとともみさんのガイド最高でした✨
タンタラスの丘でワイキキを眺めながら、昼食。
人気店Andysのツナサンドは絶品
お店に並ばずに食べられるんですからお得感満載です‼️
丘の展望台からの眺めは素晴らしく、左手にダイアモンドヘッド、中央にワイキキの高層ビル群、右手にホノルル空港からパールハーバーと、ともみさんいわく「オワフ島の半分が見える」ものでした。
今日は天気も最高で、遠くモロカイ島までうっすら見えました️
ホノルル近場で自然を感じられるツアーでした

It was a fun experience to fully enjoy nature! However, the guide only spoke English, so I couldn't understand anything and couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. Although the sand dust flew around and made my face completely black, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan to ride through while looking at the sea and mountains on a buggy.

大自然を満喫出来る楽しい体験でした！
ただ、ガイドは英語のみなので全く英語が分からず楽しみ切れませんでした。
砂ほこりが飛んで顔が真っ黒になるけどバギーで駆け抜けながら海や山を眺めるのは日本では出来ない体験でした。

Our hotel was called Ilikai, and it was a bit far from the meeting place at the Sheraton, but we appreciated the adjustment to gather at the Hilton Hotel five minutes earlier. Additionally, the locals spoke a little Japanese, which made us feel at ease. Since it was late August, there were only two other families besides us participating, so we were able to enjoy the tour bus comfortably. The local facilities were not crowded, and it turned out to be a day that the whole family could enjoy.

我々のホテルはイリカイと言って集合場所のシェラトンからは少し離れてましたが、ヒルトンホテルへ5分前に集合と言う事で調整して下さり助かりました。
また、現地の方々も片言の日本語を使って下さり安心出来ました。
8月下旬と言う事も有り参加者は我々の他2家族と少なく、ゆったりとツアーバスが利用出来たのも良かったです。
現地の施設も混雑はなく家族全員で楽しめました一日となりました。

It wax a excellent all day your.
Thd Dole pineapple tour was only gor thd morning. At the end of Dole tourr we were a pineapple each!! We an awesome lunch by thd beach and visited local shops and pints of interest.

Our guide was very friendly and informative.

Wrestling would recommend this tour

Our party had a great time. All of the staff was very friendly and ensured we had fun and were safe. The whole experience was amazing.

In the afternoon, the sand wasn't packed down and felt like it was floating in the sea, but I had a great time with various activities! The banana boat was also amazing!

午後の時間帯で、砂はあわられておらず海にぷかぷか浮いている感じでしたが、いろんなアクティビティができて楽しかったです！
バナナボートも最高でした

We had such a great time here. The staff was very friendly. The views were amazing and we were able to feed animals and drive freely around the ATV course

The pickup, local guidance, and snorkeling instruction were all great! However, it was a bit disappointing that the visibility was low due to the light rain and waves...

お迎えから、現地案内、シュノーケリング指導、とてもよかったです！しかし、小雨で波があったので、透明度が低く残念。。。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the instructor was kind, fun, and led us accurately. I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours of riding in the great outdoors.

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、インストラクターさんが優しく楽しく的確にリードしてくれて、大自然の中での2時間の乗馬を満喫しました。

Excellent experience Justin was an awesome tour guide.

The show was great. It highlights the cultures of different Polynesian groups. We sign up for a tour guide inside the cultural center. It helps us schedule our activities for the whole day stay over there. The tour guides are students from their university. They are amazing. I can recommend this tour for families. The dinner buffet is sumptuous.

There was also a Japanese video at the beginning, and during the ride, the staff provided directions in Japanese, which made me feel安心して楽しめました. I thought it would have been great if there had been time to take photos along the way. The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely horseback ride.

はじめに日本語のビデオもあり、途中、スタッフの人が
方向を日本語で指示してくれて安心して楽しめました
途中で写真を撮る時間があったら最高だとおもいました
景色もよくゆっくり乗馬できました

This is my ninth time in Hawaii. I chose a tour because I wanted to go horseback riding along the coast. A Japanese guide taught me how to hold the reins and ride. My horse was Maui. She was not only used to customers but also moved exactly as I wanted. It was moving. I was able to spend a relaxing time.

Although my stay at Dole Plantation and Haleiwa was short, it was fulfilling.

ハワイは9回目。海岸を乗馬したくてツアーを選びました。手綱の取り方など運転してる日本人の方に教えてもらい。乗馬。私の馬は、マウイちゃん。客に慣れているのはもちろんですが、ちゃんと思い通りに、動いてくれました。感動。ゆったりした時間を過ごせます。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワ滞在は短いですが、充実してます。

When I traveled to Hawaii before, I did a Segway tour and had so much fun, so I chose the same Segway Kaka'ako course again. I requested a pickup, and it was just my husband and me. The guide was friendly and engaging, which made the experience enjoyable. Since it was our second time, we were able to start right after the briefing.

We took a lot of photos just the two of us, and the conversations were fun. The thrill of riding the Segway combined with the great experience made it very enjoyable. I appreciate the attentive service as well. On the way back, we were dropped off at the Ala Moana Shopping Center, which was convenient. If I get the chance to travel to Hawaii again, I would love to do the Segway tour once more.

前にハワイ旅行したときもセグウェイして、とても楽しかったので、また同じセグウェイのカカアココースにしました。
お迎えもお願いし、私たち夫婦だけで、行く時もお話してくれたり丁寧で楽しかったです。
2回目なのでレクチャーしてもらってすぐ出発することできました。
夫婦2人だけで写真もたくさんとっていただき、お話も楽しく、セグウェイの爽快感と合わせてとても楽しかったです。
丁寧な対応にも感謝します。
帰りはアラモアナショッピングセンターまで送ってもらい、合わせてよかったです。
また、ハワイ旅行できたら、セグウェイまたなりたいです。

I was a bit worried because it was mentioned that there wouldn't be a Japanese guide, but after seeing other people's posts and asking specific questions in advance, I received polite answers, which put me at ease.

Since the pickup was early, I wanted to have breakfast on the bus, but I found out that wasn't possible, so I was able to have breakfast beforehand and prepare my outfit.

The dust was quite intense, but I was ready for it, and above all, the scenery was wonderful. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the Jurassic Park filming locations a bit more.

It was a bit disappointing that all the explanations along the way were in English, so I couldn't understand much. Overall, I'm glad I participated!

日本語ガイドさんいないと記載あったので少し心配してましたが、他の方の投稿みたり、具体的にわからなかったことも事前に質問すると丁寧に回答いただき、安心できました。
質問内容は早いお迎えだったのでできたら、行きのバスの中で朝食食べたかったのですが、それはできないとわかり、事前に朝食すませたり、服装も準備できました。
砂埃がすごかったですが、汚れてもいい準備してましたし、何より素晴らしい景色でよかったです。
欲を言えばもう少しだけジュラシックパークのロケ地まわりもしたかったです。
また途中の説明は全部英語なのであまり理解できなかったのは残念でした。
全体通して参加してよかったです！

Overall great experience and had so much fun. This was my first time snorkeling and my first time in Hawaii. Definitely will return. The crew was outstanding.

Since the local weather can vary, I arrived on-site and checked the weather forecast, making my reservation two days in advance. The arrangements on the day went smoothly, and the people I participated with said, "I want to ride this again when I come back to Hawaii!" I was really happy to hear that since it was an activity I suggested.

You can see the familiar shape of Diamond Head and even get to view the backside, which offers a fresh perspective of its shape. The cheerful staff and the excitement of the other guests made it a fun, American-style experience. I will definitely come back to ride again!

現地の天気もあるので、現地入りして、天気予報を確認して2日前に予約しました。
当日の段取りもスムーズで一緒に参加した方からも、またハワイにきたら乗りたいな！といってもらえました。自分が提案したアクティビティだったので、喜んでもらえて嬉しかったです。
よく見るダイヤモンドヘッドの形から、ぐるっと裏側まで回ってもらえるので、違ったダイヤモンドヘッドの形まで見えますので新鮮です。
陽気なスタッフさんと、同乗したお客さんのテンションもアメリカらしく楽しかったです。
また乗りに戻ってきます！！

Great place, the whole staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, thr property was very well maintained . Busses were clean and the drivers were very good.all in all Great place to go to and reasonably cheap for all they offer.

The park was a bit confusing, but the show in the end of the night was awesome!

What a great day, there was the sweetest turtle the whole time in the water
