All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Since we were the only ones on the day of the tour, it felt like a private tour. The guide was very kind and made it a lot of fun, so we really enjoyed ourselves! ☺︎ I was worried because I hardly speak any English, but the guide made an effort to communicate using translation tools, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience!

Anyway, my face ended up completely black (laughs). It gets so dark that I can't even go out in public. A towel and wet wipes are essential.

I will definitely participate again! ☺︎ Thank you very much.

当日は私達しかいなかったので貸切ツアーでしたがガイドさんもとっても親切で楽しませてくれたのでとっても楽しめました☺︎
英語がほとんどできないので心配でしたが、翻訳を使いながら一生懸命に伝えてくださるので安心して楽しめます‼︎

とにかく顔が真っ黒になります（笑）人前には出れないくらい真っ黒になります。タオル、濡れティッシュ必須です。

また絶対に参加します☺︎ありがとうございました。

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also concerts featuring musicians from past generations, which was very enjoyable. Additionally, the fire dance was incredibly impressive! It's definitely worth going!

フラダンスだけでなく歴代のミュージシャンのコンサートも付いていてとても楽しめました。更にはファイヤーダンスも迫力満点！行く価値あります！

We participated as a family of ten. Some of us were experiencing a Segway for the first time, but the two instructors were kind and thorough in their teaching, allowing everyone to maneuver the Segway well and enjoy themselves. Since it was an evening experience, it wasn't too hot, and the breeze was pleasant. We were able to see wall art, stroll through the streets, and enjoy the wind and scenery by the seaside, visiting various places in a short amount of time. Our family of ten was able to fully enjoy Hawaii, creating the best memories of our family trip. Segways are amazing! We want to enjoy it together again.

家族10人で参加しました。セグウェイ初体験の者もいましたが、インストラクターのお二人が、親切丁寧に教えてくださり、みんなうまくセグウェイを動かして楽しむことができました。夕方の体験でしたので、暑すぎず風が心地よかったでし。ウォールアートを見たりや、街並みを散策したり、海辺の風と景色を眺めたりと、短時間で様々な場所まで行くことができました。家族10人で、ハワイを満喫することができて、家族旅行の最高の思い出ができました。セグウェイ最高‼️また、みんなで楽しみたいです。

Our server, Danny brought great energy and had exceptional hospitality service. Good experience and perfect to enjoy with family.

The buggy ride was a lot of fun. There was little dust due to the rain, but if it had been sunny, I would have been covered in dust. I think it's a good idea to dress lightly and plan to change clothes.

バギーはとても楽しかった。
雨天後のため埃は少なかったけど、晴れてたら全身埃だらけ。軽装し着替えつもりがよいと思います。

It was my first cruise, and I had a great time. The only regret was that a hurricane was approaching, so I couldn't see the sunset. Also, the lobster was not as impressive as I expected (laughs). Overall, I think it was good.

初めてのクルーズでしたがとても楽しかったです。
残念だったのがハリケーンが近づいててサンセットが見られなかったのが心残りでした。
それとロブスターがおもってたよりショボかったですね(笑)
まぁ、総合的には良かったと思います。

It was difficult to steer the ship due to the approaching typhoon, strong winds, and high waves. However, the atmosphere inside the boat was lively and enjoyable, and the staff were kind, which was great.

台風が近づいて風が強く波が高いのでシープの操縦が難しかった。ただ船の中は盛り上がり楽しくスタッフさんも親切で良かった。

The staff are all very friendly, helpful and excellent energy. Very convenient with free pickup from hotel. Most staffs are fluent with Japanese. The singers have beautiful voices.There are lots of activities choices to enjoy with. And very safe with multiple staff stand by around to make sure you are doing okay. Only complain is I wish we have more time.Did not want it to end. Highly recommended it.

There are some slides that look really scary, but once you ride them, it's over in no time. So, I recommend experiencing them all at least once.

見るからに怖いだろなっていうスライダーもありますが乗ったらあっという間なのでとりあえず一通り体験することをお勧めします。

It was more fun than I expected because we could go fast. However, since everyone runs at the same time, it might be frustrating if the person in front is slow (the person in front of me was my wife, haha). So depending on the group combination, it could become boring.

Since it was in the North, we went by rental car, and we arrived earlier than expected. When I asked to change the start time, they kindly accommodated my request, probably because they had availability.

思った以上にはスピードが出せて楽しかったです。ただ基本全員同時に走るので前の人遅いとイライラするかも（私の前の人は妻でした（笑））。なのでグループの組み合わせ次第ではつまらなくなるかも？
ノースなのでレンタカーで行きましたが、思ったより早く着いたので現地で開始時間の変更をお願いしたら、空いていたからだと思いますが快く変更してくれました。

I went expecting a Japanese magician, but it was a different magician. Still, it was fun. However, I think you can't really enjoy it if you don't understand any English.

日本人のマジシャンを期待して行ったけど違うマジシャンでした。それでも楽しかったです。ただ全く英語が分からないと楽しめないなとは思います。

I had wanted to try ziplining for a long time, and since I was going to do it, I thought it would be best to choose a place with a great view, so I signed up here. I'm really glad I did. The scenery was beautiful, and I was very satisfied after doing seven lines. Just before starting, they asked questions like, "What's your favorite food?" which I think was probably to distract those who might be scared. I felt a bit nervous on the first line, but after that, I got used to it and wasn't scared at all. I was able to film videos with my smartphone securely strapped to my arm. Thank you to all the staff; I had a great time!

ずっと前からジップラインをやってみたくて、どうせやるなら景色が良いところでと思いこちらを申し込みました。本当にやってよかった。景色は良いし、7本もやって大満足です。スタートする直前に「好きな食べ物は何？」など質問してくれるのですがたぶん怖い人向けにそんな質問をしてくれて怖さを紛らわせてくれてるんだと思いました。でも1本目だけドキドキしたけどあとは全然慣れて怖くなかったです。スマホはストラップを腕にきっちりつけて動画撮影ができました。スタッフに皆さんありがとうございました、楽しかったです！

I thought I could walk on the sand but I didn’t know this boat was not able to go closer. The water was so high and I couldn’t even stand.
But I enjoyed entertainment on the boat.

I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour this time, and it was absolutely amazing! If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to do it! Horseback riding is the best!!

今回2時間の乗馬体験のツアーに参加しましたがとにかく最高でした！ハワイへ行ったら絶対やるべき！乗馬最高！！

The tour was excellent! Very memorable. Enjoyed all of it!

It is possible to make reservations directly through the official website, but I was unable to make a payment with a Japanese credit card that does not have a Zipcode, so I purchased the tickets through VELTRA. (The price was the same as on the official site.)

There is a Japanese guide on site who explains the history and overview of the battleship.

I reserved this and the USS Arizona for a visit, but I also wanted to check out the aviation museum. I recommend taking your time to explore Pearl Harbor.

公式サイトで直接予約も可能な施設ですが、Zipcodeのない日本のクレジットカードでの決済ができなかったので、VELTRAを通じてチケット購入しました。（値段は公式サイトと同じでした）

日本語ガイドさんが常駐しており戦艦の歴史と概要について説明してくれます。

こちらとUSアリゾナを予約して見学しましたが、航空博物館も見て回りたかったです。
パールハーバーはゆっくり時間をかけて見学されることをおすすめします。

We had a great time on the sunset cruise. It was really easy and relaxing. And what a sunset!

We participated as a couple, and with one more person, we formed a small group of three, all of whom had experience with Segways, so we quickly got to practice and then hit the streets. Our guide was very good at Japanese (I initially thought he was Japanese) and was interesting to talk to, making him a great person. Riding along the coast with the refreshing breeze was the best. The two hours flew by. At the end, my husband accidentally fell due to a sudden brake, but since he had never fallen off a Segway before, it was a good experience to have. Thank you for the band-aid. I definitely want to ride again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦2人で参加。あともう1人の参加で3人の少人数グループ、そして3人ともセグウェイ経験者だったので、練習はサクッとですぐに街に出られました。ガイドさんは日本語が上手で（最初日本人かと思った）話も面白くて良い人でした。爽やかな風を受けながら海沿いを疾走するのは最高でした。2時間あっという間。最後に夫が急ブレーキでうっかり転んでしまいましたが、今までセグウェイで転んだ事がなかったのでこういう事もあるという良い経験になりました。絆創膏をありがとうございました。また次にハワイに行ったら絶対乗りたい！

A 2-hour drive. The road is intentionally bumpy, making for a very adventurous experience. There are breaks at three photo spots, and at each stop, the guiding staff shares stories about the surrounding mountains and islands. I was advised not to touch the gear, and even as a paper driver, I found it easy to drive. By the end, I was covered in sand from head to toe, including my hair and mouth. It was a lot of fun.

2時間のドライブ。わざと道を凸凹にしてあり、すごく揺れてアドベンチャー気分を味わえた。3箇所の撮影スポットで休憩があり、その都度、先導スタッフが周辺の山や島にまつわる話しをしてくれます。ギアは触らないよう注意され、ペーパードライバーの私でも簡単に運転できます。終わったら、全身、髪も口の中も砂まみれ。楽しかったです。

The chubby Elvis sang passionately, and every time he threw a scarf that he wiped his sweat with into the audience, cheers erupted, making him more popular than Michael. Michael, like the original, had undergone plastic surgery. His singing and dancing were inferior, but it was still pretty good. The food was a buffet, and I think the taste was good, plus you could have seconds. Each family had a commemorative photo taken, and I was told that if I bought it, I would receive signatures from Elvis and Michael after the show, so I purchased it. I also got to take separate photos with Elvis and Michael, which made for a memorable and fun experience.

ポッチャリのエルビスが熱唱し、汗を拭いたスカーフを次々と観客へ投げる度歓声が上がり、マイケルより人気がありました。マイケルは本家同様整形。歌と踊りは劣るけどまあ、良かったかな。食事はビュッフェのでお代わりも出来るし味も良かったと思います。家族ごとに記念写真を撮られ、買えばショーの後にエルビスとマイケルのサインが貰えると言われ買いました。エルビスとマイケルと別々に一緒に写真も撮らせて貰い思い出に残る楽しかったです。

We participated as a three-generation family, from elementary school students to those in their 70s. My mother, who is in her 70s and sensitive to sunlight with frequent bathroom needs, was concerned about not being a burden to others and considered what activities she could join. We decided to try the submarine experience.

The boat to the submarine was large and had restrooms, and as we headed out to sea, we could feel the Hawaiian sea breeze. I believe that as long as one can manage to descend the ladder to switch to the submarine, even older adults can take on this challenge. We were able to see both sharks and turtles. Even though my mother doesn’t understand much English, she said she had a great time, so I think this activity is perfect for participants of all ages.

小学生から70代の3世代で参加しました。
70代で日差しに弱くトイレが近い母親が、他のみんなに迷惑にならないで参加できるものはないかと考察して潜水艦に挑戦しました。
潜水艦に乗るまでの船は大型でトイレもあり、沖に出るのでハワイの潮風を感じることができ、沖で潜水艦に乗り換えるはしごを降りることさえできれば、年配者でも挑戦できると思います。
サメもカメも見ることができました。英語があまりわからなくても、楽しかったと言っていたので、幅広い世代で参加するにはもってこいだと思います。

It starts with a buffet. You can enjoy hula shows, ukulele performances, and hula lessons while you eat. The food was very delicious. A Mai Tai is included as well. After that, we moved to the theater. Although the seats were ordinary, we were seated about three rows from the front, in the middle, so we had a great view. I wasn't expecting much, but we got to see a wonderful show. I thought the Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators would just be look-alikes, but their singing and dancing were so amazing that I could mistake them for the real deal. I'm really glad I participated in this show. On the way back, I was able to take photos with the cast, and I was very satisfied.

最初にビュッフェから始まります。フラのショーやウクレレの弾き語り、フラレッスンなど、食べている間も楽しめます。お料理はとてもおいしかったです。マイタイ一杯もついています。その後シアターに移動します。普通の席でしたが、前から3番目の真ん中あたりに座れて、とてもよく見えました。そんなに期待していなかったのですが、素晴らしいショーが見られました。マイケルジャクソン、プレスリーは「そっくりさんでしょ」と始まる前は思っていましたが、歌やダンスも本物かと間違うほどに素晴らしく、本当にこちらのショーに参加して良かったです。帰りにはキャストの方々と写真も撮れて、大満足でした。

Kualoa Ranch is vast, and you can go horseback riding and tour the filming locations by bus, along with many other tour participants. For those who don't understand English at all, it seemed like they just let the bus driver's explanations go in one ear and out the other. Everything was explained in English. There were also many participants who were not Japanese.

The scenery was very beautiful. The buffet had very few food options, and there were flies, so my nervous child couldn't eat much.

It's best to think of it as completely different from something like Universal Studios.

クアロアランチは広大で、乗馬できロケ地をバスで回ったりたくさんのツアーの方と現地でもバスで回ります。英語がさっぱり分からない方には
バス運転手の説明も聞き流す感じの様でした。
全て英語説明でした。
日本人以外の参加者も多数おられました。

景色は非常によかったです。
ビュッフェは食べるものがすくなくハエがたかって
神経質なうちの子はあまり食べられませんでした。

ユニバーサルスタジオの様な感じでは全く違うと
思われた方が良いです。

This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:

1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.

Very highly recommended!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

They will pick you up at the hotel, so as long as you can wake up early, you can feel at ease. At Kualoa Ranch, in addition to the expedition tour, you can enjoy various activities such as horseback riding and tours of movie filming locations. The expedition tour offers wonderful views from the car window, but if you walk a little, you will find breathtaking scenery. The lunch was also delicious, and it was a very satisfying tour.

ホテルでピックアップしてくれるので、朝早くても起きられさえすれば安心。クアロラ・ランチではエクスペディションツアー以外にも、乗馬や、映画の撮影スポットを周るツアーなど、様々なアクティビティーが楽しめます。エクスペディションツアーは車窓からの景色も素晴らしいですが、少し歩くと、そこには絶景が。ランチもおいしく、大満足のツアーでした。

The probability of sandbars appearing due to rising sea levels and typhoon effects was very low. The water level was up to our waists.
Some people were able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling, which was a lot of fun.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent.

海水位上昇と台風の影響でサンドバーが出る確率とても低いとの事でした。私たちは腰ぐらいまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルは海亀と泳げた人もいてとても楽しかったです。
お昼のハンバーガーは最高でした。

The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.

Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.

朝一番でのシュノーケルで水の透明度が高くとても良かったです。アザラシも現れてとても可愛いかったです。
帰るころには砂が舞って少し濁っていたので朝一にしてとても良かったです。
シュノーケル等レンタルがついていましたが運転手さんが私達に渡し忘れるハプニングもありました。
入場料はまとめて代表者が払うので現金のみしかダメでした。ご注意下さい。

I left my hotel near Waikiki at 6:30 AM to meet at the location by 8:30 AM. I thought the shuttle service was a bit expensive, so I took an Uber taxi instead (it cost about 8,000 yen one way).

I arrived at the location in about an hour. It was mentioned that there would be a restroom, but there was no toilet paper and it was extremely dirty, so please keep that in mind when using the facilities. (laughs)

There were a total of 12 members in our group. Before boarding the boat, we had to take off our shoes. Since all shoes can be placed together in a basket, I recommend wearing sandals or something that you don’t mind getting dirty.

After reading reviews from others, I took motion sickness medication before going. After about 15 minutes on the boat, I got seasick. If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared.

When we reached the area where sharks are spotted, we were divided into two groups: the first half and the second half entered the water. By the way, there was no one among the staff or participants who spoke Japanese. (laughs)

The captain explained the safety instructions in English. He asked if I was from Japan and then handed me a written explanation in Japanese. I can’t speak any English, but surprisingly, I managed just fine. (laughs)

They provide snorkeling gear for free. However, some people brought their own. Since the snorkeling gear is shared, if you’re uncomfortable with that, it’s better to bring your own.

The tour was more fun than I expected, with plenty of sharks around. The time flew by. If it weren’t for the seasickness, I would want to participate again and again. However, since the seasickness was quite severe, I rated it one star lower than the maximum. I returned by bus (it cost about 1,000 yen for two people).

8時半に現地集合のため、朝の6時半にワイキキ付近の宿泊ホテルを出ました。送迎してもらうプランが料金が少し高いと思ったので、Uberタクシーで自力で行きました。(行きのみで約8000円ほどでした)

1時間ほどで現地に到着。現地にトイレがあると書いてありましたが、トイレットペーパーがなくてトイレも壊滅的に汚い為、それを頭に入れてトイレを使ってください。(笑)

メンバーは全員で12人でした。船に乗る前に履物を脱ぎます。籠に全員分まとめて入れられるので、汚れてもいいようなサンダル等を履いてきたほうがいいと思います。

他の方の口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んでいきました。船に揺られて15分ほど、見事に酔いました。船酔いしやすい方は覚悟していってください。
サメの出没するポイントにつくと2つのグループに分けられました。前半組と後半組で海に入りました。
ちなみに日本語をしゃべれる人はスタッフと参加者で誰もいませんでした。(笑)

キャプテンが注意事項等、英語で説明してくれます。ジャパン？と聞かれ、その後日本語で書いてある説明書を渡してくれました。まったく英語を喋れませんが、意外と何とかなります。(笑)

シュノーケリングは無料で貸してくれます。ですが、自分で持ってきてる人もいました。使い回しのシュノーケリングなので、嫌な方は自分で持ってきたほうがいいです。

ツアー自体は思った以上にサメがうようよいてとても楽しかったです。
あっという間の時間でした。
船酔いがなければ何度でも参加したいです。
でも船酔いが相当きつかったので、星は最高点より1つマイナスにしました。
帰りはバスで帰りました。(2人で約1000円くらい)

It's reassuring that there's an explanation in Japanese.
The view from the sandbar, which is inaccessible to individuals, is amazing.
It's a mysterious place that feels like being in the ocean but on land (coral).
The barbecue hamburgers were delicious.
We were lucky to encounter manta rays and turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral, we enjoyed schools of fish and a real aquarium experience!

日本語で説明があるから安心です。
個人では行けないサンドバーからの景色が最高です。
海の中にいるのに陸（珊瑚）のような・・不思議な場所です。
バーベキューのハンバーガーが美味しかったです。
運良くマンタとカメにも遭遇できました。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングでは魚の群れとリアル水族館が楽しめました！
