All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

An experience you can't have in Japan!
It was more thrilling than I expected.
I can't speak English at all, but I was taught in a way that was easy to understand, so I had no problems.
However, it does get quite dirty...
I recommend participating in clothes that you can change into or that you don't mind getting dirty!
You can also enjoy stunning views, so I want to join a different activity next time!

日本ではできない体験！
思ってた以上に迫力満点でした。
英語は全くできませんが、わかりやすく教えてもらえた困ることはありませんでした。
ただ、かなり汚れます…
着替え、もしくは汚れても良い服での参加をおすすめします！
絶景も楽しめるので、次回は違うアクティビティで参加したいと思っています！

I participated with my wife and two daughters, a total of four people. Most of the participants were from overseas, and we were probably the only Japanese family there. I was the only one in my family drinking alcohol, so I had the famous Mai Tai while the other three enjoyed soft drinks. The waves were relatively calm, so it didn't sway as much as I had worried it would. I enjoyed my drink while being blown by the wind, and the pleasantness made me keep drinking, leading to about five or six more Mai Tais and sparkling wines. Unfortunately, the cloud conditions were a bit poor, so I couldn't see the "perfect sunset," but I was able to see a big rainbow, making it a very satisfying boat trip.

妻と2人の娘、計4人で参加しました。
参加者のほとんどが海外の方で、日本人はおそらく私たち家族だけでした。
家族の中でお酒を飲むのは私だけだったので、私は名物マイタイを、あとの3人はソフトドリンクを頂きました。
波が比較的穏やかだったので心配していたほど揺れることもなく、風に吹かれながら美味しく飲み、あまりの気持ち良さに酒も進んでマイタイのおかわりやスパークリングワインなど5、6杯も頂いてしまいました。
残念ながら雲の条件がやや悪く“100点満点の夕陽”は拝めませんでしたが、大きな虹を見ることができ、大満足の船旅になりました。

I have loved magic since I was young, and among all magicians, I particularly adored Atsuto Ogawa's performances. So when I found out I could see his magic during my trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation immediately. Before the show, Mr. Ogawa spotted us and came over to chat! During the performance, he mixed in some Japanese, and we had a really enjoyable time. I was truly moved to see Atsuto Ogawa's magic live, something I had admired for so long!

昔からマジック好きな自分は、中でも緒川集人さんのマジックが大好きだったため、ハワイ旅行にあたって緒川さんのマジックが見れるということで即予約。
開場前に緒川さんが自分たちを見つけて、話しかけてくれました！
公演中も日本語を交えながらやってくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく昔から見ていた緒川集人のマジックを生で見れたことに感動でした！

Definitely recommend this activity!
I went with my mom, she does not know how to swim or is comfortable with the ocean, but somehow she managed to experience the sandbar and actually got in the water. This was a huge deal for her and it helped tide was low so she felt more comfortable.
Crew was amazing and engaged with all of us on tour! They helped those in need and made us all feel welcomed.
We would definitely book this tour again and bring our family with us next time!

Thank you guys! My mom wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had and how you guys made her feel safe despite her fear of water.

It was my first buggy tour, and I had a great time. I felt reassured by the fact that there was a place to switch drivers and that there was an explanation video in Japanese. I prepared long pants and closed-toe shoes as they were required, but there were many people wearing sandals and shorts, and it seemed like no particular attention was paid to that.

初めてのバギーツアーでしたが楽しかったです．
途中で運転手が交代できるところや日本語での説明ビデオがあったことなどが安心できました．
長ズボンとつま先の覆われた靴が必須とのことで，このために準備して行きましたがサンダルに短いズボンという方もたくさんいらっしゃり，特に注意もされていなかったようでした．

First of all, the meeting place was hard to find! I think that should be improved.
The tour was in August, and while it was fine until we boarded the boat, upon arrival, there was no land in sight, and it was quite deep. My daughter and grandparents couldn't touch the bottom at all and were nearly drowning.
Also, there was hardly any snorkeling. There were no fish at all. The sea was deep and there were waves, so it was dangerous for shorter individuals (laughs).
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were somewhat enjoyable, but those two activities alone were too much time to fill.
Regarding the day I went, it was quite a disappointing tour.

まず第一に集合場所が分かりづらい！！そこは改善するべきだと思います。
8月のツアーでしたが、船に乗るまでは良かったのですが、現地に到着しても陸地は現れず、かなり深いです。娘や祖父母は全く足がつかず、溺れかけていました。
そしてシュノーケリングも無いようなものです。魚は全くいないです。海も深く波もあるので、小柄な方は命がけでした（笑）
カヤックやサップはそれなりに楽しかったですが、その2つだけで時間を潰すには時間が長すぎます。
私の行った日に関しては、かなりハズレツアーでしたね。

Even though it was sunny in Waikiki, as we made our way to the sandbar, the clouds started to gather and it rained lightly at the end. However, we were able to encounter sea turtles, and the snorkeling allowed us to see the fish beautifully, so I was satisfied. It was also fun to be surrounded by movie filming locations, and the explanations were well done.

ワイキキの方は晴れていてもいざサンドバーの方まで行くとだんだん雲行きが怪しくなって雨は最後にぱらつく程度降りましたがウミガメも遭遇できましたし、シュノーケルでは魚が綺麗に見えたので満足です。周りが映画のロケ地で説明も上手で楽しかったです。

I was anxious until I got on, but once I flew, it was refreshing!
Even though the aircraft is small, it flies steadily.
The speed is slow enough to enjoy the scenery, and 30 minutes goes by in no time.
However, it's scary when I'm the one piloting; the aircraft responds to even the slightest movement of the control stick.

乗るまでは不安でしたが、いざ飛んでみれば気分爽快！
機体は小さくても安定した飛行です。
速度もゆっくりで景色を楽しむことができ、３０分はあっという間です。
でも自分が操縦する時だけはコワいですね、操縦桿の少しの動きに機体が反応します。

I had a great time!
When we arrived at the site by shuttle bus, we were divided into Japanese and others, and the Japanese staff explained the day's schedule to us. (I'm not sure if it was because there were many Japanese people or if this is always the case.)
We had free time until our buggy ride, during which we could eat lunch and take photos. (You can buy burgers and other food on-site.)
Before the buggy ride started, we watched an explanatory video in both Japanese and English.
Driving the buggy wasn't difficult, and we could switch drivers along the way. Even my wife, who usually doesn't drive much, was able to drive without any issues!
Also, since it had rained on and off from the day before to the day of the event, I was worried about dust, but there was hardly any, and we didn't get dirty at all!

とても楽しかったです！
送迎バスで現地に到着したら、日本人とその他に分けられた後、日本人のスタッフに当日の流れの説明をいただけました。(日本人が多かったからか、もしくはいつもなのか分かりませんが)
バギーの時間まではお昼ご飯を食べたり、写真を撮ったりと自由時間。(現地でバーガーなど買えます。)
バギー開始前は、また日本語と英語に分かれて説明動画を見れました。
バギーの運転は難しくなく、途中で運転手交代交代もでき、普段ほとんど運転をしない妻も難なく運転できました！
また、前日から当日にかけて、雨が時々降ったりだったので心配していた砂埃はほとんどなく、汚れることもありませんでした！

My child is 6 years old, and I think we had a great experience with the various slides and children's pools that were available for the admission fee. I believe I went on a Tuesday, and while the regular hours are supposed to be until 5 PM, for some reason that day it ended at 3 PM. We went by rental car, and the highway was also congested on the way back, so I wondered if Tuesdays in Hawaii generally have shorter working hours. Outside food and drinks are completely prohibited, and you have to purchase everything inside, but we had to wait quite a bit in both the ordering and pickup lines. As is often the case, the tables were left dirty with sauce from the previous guests.

子供は6才ですが利用できるスライダーや子供用のプールも充実しており入場料に見合った体験が出来たと思います。私が行ったのは火曜日だったと思いますが通常の営業時間は17時までだったはずですが何故かその日は15時で終了となってしまいました。レンタカーで行っていたのですが帰りの高速道路も渋滞していたのでハワイの火曜日は全般的に仕事の勤務時間が短い日なのかなと思いました。飲食物の持ち込みは一切禁止で場内で購入ですがオーダーの列と受け取りどちらもけっこう並びました。有りがちですがテーブルは前の人達が汚したソースとか付いたままになっていました。

We participated in a course that departed from Waikiki at 2:30 PM. On the way there, it was just the guide and the two of us, and we were able to freely ask the guide about life in Hawaii, which was really enjoyable!

After arriving, I heard that we couldn't do any activities, but we could enter the village. However, we were disappointed to be told at the gate of the inner village that we couldn't enter. There were only a few souvenir shops at the front, so we ended up with some free time.

The buffet was surprising with its volume and variety. For Japanese people, a regular restaurant might be enough. The Polynesian show was incredibly moving, just as rumored, and it was very good!

私達は午後14時半、ワイキキ出発のコースで参加しました。行きはガイドさんと私達2人のみで、自由に気兼ねなくガイドさんハワイライフを伺い、すごく楽しかったです♪
到着後、アクティビティはできないけど、村の中に入れると聞きましたが、奥の村のゲートで入場できないと言われガッカリでした。手前の土産物屋は少ししかなくて、時間を持て余しました。
バイキング料理は、ボリューム、種類が多すぎて驚きました。日本人は普通の飲食店ので十分かも。ポリネシアショーは、うわさどおり大感動、とても良かった！

We progressed steadily through the mountainous film location in a line. Along the way, we enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean and had our photos taken, which we could share via Bluetooth afterward. The horses were truly clever, and we had a luxurious time. The staff members were also very lively. The course lasted just under two hours, and it went by in a flash. However, since we never got off the horses, I realized at the end that my legs (mainly my hips) were shaking without me noticing. There was a group of three women in their 50s and 60s who completed the ride, so I think it's manageable, but those who are extremely unsure of their physical stamina might want to reconsider.

　映画ロケ地の山中を列になってぐんぐん進んで行きます。途中で美しい海を見たり、写真を撮ってもらて、終了後にBluetoothで共有してもらえます。お馬さんたちは本当に利巧であり、贅沢な時間を過ごさせていただきました。スタッフの方々も生き生きしています。1コース2時間弱、あっという間でした。ただし、一度も馬から降りないので、終了時には気づかぬうちに脚（主に股関節）がガクガクしました。同じ時間帯になった50‐60代の女性3人組の皆さんも完遂していましたので、なんとかなるとは思いますが、体力に極端に自信がない方は辞めた方が良いかもしれません。

We drove around the filming locations at a speed of about 30 km/h in a buggy. I’m embarrassed to say that at 156 cm tall, my feet barely reached the pedals while driving (crying). Since I tend to get car sick more than anyone else, I drove myself, but I recommend that shorter individuals have someone else drive. You can drive if you present a Japanese driver's license.

Several buggies moved along a bumpy road, providing an exciting experience that is hard to come by in Japan. The staff provided explanations during stops, but there were many things I didn’t understand, so I regret not studying more English to enjoy it even more. We wore bandana-like dust covers, but even so, we still got dust on our faces and bodies, so I recommend avoiding your favorite outfits. There are lockers available at the facility (I think it was around 1000 yen, and you could access them multiple times). After the buggy ride, you can wash your hands with water and soap, but the dust is hard to get off, so if you’re not going straight back to the hotel, it might be a good idea to bring an extra T-shirt.

All of the above has become a cherished memory of my trip, so overall, I am very satisfied. Due to the weak yen, prices have more than doubled compared to the past... (crying).

　時速３０㎞程でバギーを運転しながら、ロケ地を巡っていきます。お恥ずかしながら身長が156㎝ですと、運転中脚がぎりぎり着くか着かないかの状態でした（泣。当方は誰よりも車酔いをしやすい体質なので自ら運転させてもらいましたが、低身長の方は相手の方に運転してもらうのをお勧めします。日本の免許証を提示すれば運転ができます。

　ガタガタした道を数台が連なって進んでいきます。日本ではなかなか経験できない、excitingな体験でした。途中下車を挟みながら、スタッフの方々が説明をしてくれます。わからない内容も多かったので、もう少し英語の勉強をしていけば、より楽しめたのになぁと後悔しています。バンダナのような埃除けをつけた状態で回るのですが、それでも顔や体に砂埃を被るので、お気に入りの服装は避けることをお勧めします。施設にはロッカーがあります（1000円くらいだった気がします。何度も出し入れ可能でした。）。バギー終了後に水道＋石鹸で手洗いできますが、砂埃はいかんせん落ちにくいので、ホテル直帰でなければTシャツなどを余分に持っていくとよいかもしれません。

　上記は全て旅の想い出になっているので、総合的には大満足です。円安の影響で、昔と比べて倍以上にはなっていましたが・・・（泣）

I was worried because there were no Japanese speakers available, but there was no problem enjoying the activities themselves (I think it would have been even more fun if I could understand the English explanations). My family had a great time, especially the kids who were very satisfied! One of the other groups on board looked quite miserable from seasickness, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.

日本語を話す方がいない時間帯だったので心配でしたが、アクティビティを楽しむこと自体に問題はなく（たぶん英語の説明が分かればもっと楽しかったと思いますが）、家族で楽しんできました。とくに子どもが大満足でした！同乗していた別グループの方は、船に酔ってずっと辛そうだったので、酔い止め持参がオススメです。

Great tour and delicious treat, perfect way to combine a tour!

Yummy food and beautiful Hawaii views out your boat window! Can't go wrong

We chose Oahu for Pearl Harbor and the park did not dissapoint

we just wanted a light tour and this was perfect! we loved the ride

Really awesome guide and awesome planned itinerary and stips around NS

Lots of memories to take in throughout each museum and experience- we loved the Arizon museum- well done

A great day away from Waikiki and into the wilderness- with 4 boys this was a fun one!

Boys were up and on the boards in n time! Thank you crew for all you do!

Be prepared to take a lot of knowledge in! Everyone in our family had plenty of fun!

This was awesome way to have all the museums as my husband really wanted a tour with everything!

faced our fears and ended up being one of our best experiences! my boys loved the thrill of being right next to the sharks

Do this tour- you get to see the entire farm in different ways! and lunch was easy to feed our larger family too!

This was the highlight of our trip! Esp seeing the dolphins spalshing around!!

Qr code has it easier to skip the line on the way in!

I participated with my fifth-grade son.

I felt reassured because the guide was a Japanese woman. There was also a local staff member who spoke a little Japanese, and they were very kind. You could easily recognize them by their tall stature and distinctive hat.

On the way from the port to the sandbar, we enjoyed drinks and donuts while listening to the relaxed singing of a musician.

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we could do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, and the local staff kindly taught us how to use the equipment. I could speak a little English, but even those who couldn't speak it were treated with care through gestures, so there was no need to worry. I think you can also do banana boat rides if you make a reservation, but since my child is small, we didn't do that this time.

On the way to the sandbar, a young boy in elementary school became unwell and collapsed, but the Japanese female staff responded appropriately, and there was also a nurse among the guests, so the boy recovered without any issues.

The staff's response and the activities were excellent!

As advice for those who will participate, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, including underwear, because it can get quite cold after coming out of the sea while still in wet swimsuits.

There was a hot water tank (for drinking water) near where we could get drinks, and I was grateful to have warm water to drink since I was feeling cold. (*^_^*)

小学5年生の息子と母で参加しました。

案内役の方が日本人女性だったので不安はありませんでした。現地のスタッフの中に片言で日本語を話してくれる方が居てとても親切でした。背が高く特徴のある帽子を被って居たのですぐに分かると思います。

港からサンドバーまではドリンクとドーナツのサービス、そしてミュージシャンのゆったりした歌声を聴きながらの移動でした。

サンドバーにつくとサップ、カヤック、シュノーケリングが出来るのですが、現地スタッフがとても親切に乗り方などを教えてくれました。私は少し英語を話せましたが、話せない方でも身振り手振りで丁寧に接して下さるので心配ありません。バナナボートも予約を入れれば出来るのだと思いますが、子供が小さいのもあり我が家は今回入れませんでした。

サンドバーに向かう時、小学生の男の子が具合が悪くなり倒れてしまいましたが、その時も日本人女性のスタッフが適切に対応されていて、お客さんの中に看護師さんも居たので男の子も回復し事なきを得ました。

スタッフの対応とアクティビティの内容についてははなまるでしたよ！

これから参加する方へのアドバイスとしては海から上がった後、濡れた水着のままだと結構冷えるので、下着を含めた着替えを1セット用意しておくと安心だと思います。

ドリンクをもらえるところの側にお湯が出るタンク（飲料水用）があって、私は体が冷えてしんどかったので温かいお湯が飲めたのは有り難かったです(*^_^*)

it was very educational and all the staff were informative and very nice. I highly recommend it.
