All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Very welcoming, the drinks were a plus! Best experience our family had on our trip to wakiki beach! The crew was amazing and funny with great personalities! I am scared of water and with this snorkeling adventure they made us feel very safe!

Really great experience and was a highlight for us during our stay in Oahu.

The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you are taken care of.

The cocktails and appetizers served are delicious.

Ample space for everyone to sit and walk around.

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.

Great experience, live music, pleasant staff, great views!

I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!

高所恐怖症の私ですが、みなさんの感想やYouTubeの映像で予習していったおかげで当日は本当に楽しめました！！
ただ！！私達の英語力が無かったのでしょうがないですが、こちらで予約した内容は一切無視
もう1人カメラマンが飛んで撮影するプランがあるよ！もっと高く飛べるプランがあるよ！と日本人を狙って営業してきます
初心者なのに酸素マスク付きの最高度まであがるプランとなり大誤算でしたお気をつけください！
でもとっても楽しかったです！！

There were 4 adults in our group. The novice tour was fantastic. Joe was our tour guide and she was awesome! She made sure we were comfortable before taking off. Explaining every step of the way. Very knowledgeable of the area. There were a couple of challenges along the way (we had never ridden e-bikes before) but it was exactly what I had expected as far as the bike ride went and the tour was even better. If you are a movie buff or just want to see the views it is a great all around. Highly recommend the novice e-bike tour.

I went in January this year as well, but I thought, "Is this really a sandbar?" because the water was so deep that I couldn't see any honu (sea turtles). So, I decided to make a comeback in July, which is the recommended season. I checked the tide graph and participated with high expectations, but I was a bit disappointed upon arrival... The water level was somewhat shallower than in January, but it was still up to my waist, and I couldn't see any sandy beach at all. Nevertheless, the staff really got everyone excited, and I had a decent time. At first, I borrowed a SUP and played around.

In the second half, we formed a line with the participants for snorkeling. And there they were! Sea turtles! So many of them!! My excitement skyrocketed! It was more than just fun; I was a little moved!

On the boat, they provided spam onigiri (one per person), snacks, hot coffee, cocoa, and juice, so you can eat and drink while moving. The staff were all very cheerful and fun people. I'm glad I participated! It can get quite cold during the shuttle bus and boat rides, so it might be better to have long sleeves...

今年の１月にも行ったのですが、ここがサンドバー？って思うほど水深がありホヌも見れなかったので、おすすめシーズンの７月にリベンジしました。
タイドグラフも確認し、期待しながらの参加でしたが、到着時はちょっとがっかり...多少は１月よりは浅かったですが、それでも腰ぐらいまでは潮位があり砂浜は全く見れませんでした。それでもスタッフの方たちが、色々盛り上げてくれてて、まぁまぁ楽しめました。最初はSUPを借りて遊んでいました。
後半は参加者で列をつくってシュノーケリング。いるんですね！ウミガメって！たくさん！！テンション爆上がりでした！楽しかったを超えて、少し感動しました！
船内では、スパムおにぎり（ひとり１つ）、スナック、ホットコーヒー、ココア、ジュースなど置いてあるので、移動中など飲食できます。
スタッフの方も皆さんとても明るく、楽しい方たちでした。参加して良かったです！
送迎バスや船移動中は結構寒いので、長袖はあったほうが良いかも...

I had a great experience seeing sea turtles. The crew's energy was fantastic. The hamburger was also delicious.

Since you can get sunburned a lot, please apply sunscreen generously!

ウミガメが見れてとてもいい体験ができました。船員の方のテンションも最高でした。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。

日焼けめちゃくちゃするので日焼け止めはめちゃくちゃ塗ってください！

While riding a buggy, I toured filming locations like Jurassic World, and the views of the ocean and mountains from there were absolutely stunning!

I also had a lot of fun driving through bumpy roads and shallow river-like areas with the buggy!

There was a bit of waiting time before and after the activity, but there were places to eat and souvenir shops, so I didn't have any idle time, which was great!

　バギーを乗りながらジュラシック・ワールド等の撮影地を周るのですが、そこから見る海や山がとにかく絶景でした！

　そして凸凹道や浅い川のようなところをバギーで通ったりし、凄く楽しかったです！

　アクティビティの前後の待ち時間が少々ありましたが、食事を食べれるところやお土産屋さんもあり、暇な時間ができなくて良かったです！

I had only been to yoga once in Japan, but I boldly decided I wanted to do yoga in Hawaii and joined this tour. I didn’t research much before signing up, but the lessons are not just with Japanese tourists; locals also join in. Of course, the instructor is Japanese, so there's no need to worry if you can't speak English.

As a beginner, I didn't understand much about the yoga content, but I took breaks when it got tough, haha. Doing yoga in the shade of the Banyan tree was simply amazing, and I found myself smiling halfway through.

The instructor said at the beginning, "Not having a mirror is a good thing," and I completely agreed. The final meditation felt like the relaxation after a sauna (I'm a sauna lover), and it was very pleasant. During meditation, the instructor gently pressed on my body, and I felt all my tension release. It was a moment when I truly felt glad to be in Hawaii.

At the end, the instructor said, "Please continue with yoga," and I want to do just that.

The yoga mat I borrowed was fluffy and very nice, so I quickly purchased the same one.

I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii. This tour is highly recommended!

★The location is next to the Barefoot Cafe, straight ahead from the Duke Kahanamoku statue on Kalakaua Avenue towards the zoo. I got lost, haha.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Tomoko-sensei!

日本では1回しかヨガに行った事がありませんでしたが、無謀にもハワイでヨガをしたい！と思い立ちこのツアーに参加しました
あまり良く調べず申し込みをしたのですが、日本人のツアー客だけでは無く地元の方に混じってレッスンを行います
勿論先生は日本人ですので、英語が出来なくても安心です

ヨガの内容は初心者なのであまり分かりませんが、キツい所は休んでいましたw
バンヤンツリーの木陰で行うヨガは、とにかくサイコーで途中からニコニコしてしまいました

先生が最初に「鏡が無いのが良いんですよ」とおっしゃって、まさしくその通りだと思いました
最後の瞑想がサウナのととのいのようで(サウナーです)とっても気持ち良かったです
先生が瞑想時私の体を押して下さり、フッと力が抜けました
ハワイに来て良かったなぁと思えた瞬間でした

最後に先生が「ヨガ続けて下さいね」と仰って下さったので、そうしたいと思います

お借りしたヨガマットがフワフワでとても良かったので同じ物を早速購入しました

また、ハワイに行かれたら是非参加したいです
とてもオススメのツアーです！

★場所はカラカウア通りのデューク・カハナモク像を動物園に向かって真っ直ぐ歩いて行ってベアフットカフェの横です
私は迷いましたw

この場を借りてトモコ先生本当にありがとうございました！

We had an amazing time riding the ATV. Our tour guides were great and kept us entertained. The views are great and the information was interesting. We will be coming back.
The only thing I would recommend is having a tour guide in the back as well as in the front. We had someone stay behind for about 10 minutes and there was no one to guide us in the back. Also please make the ATV's suitable for short people. I couldn't drive it, because I couldn't reach the peddles.
But over all an great experience. Loved it!!!!

The Star of Honolulu was awesome… what a great time me and my wife had… nice big ship lots of room… and what a show at the end… they do a great job getting us all in position out on the water for the sunset. I would highly recommend this option for a dinner sunset cruise… plenty of helpful staff and dinner service was superb…!!!!

It was lots of fun… the company we chose was great… easy pickup and return to your hotel area… people were super friendly and the breakfast part of it was a great option to choose… all good… the hike was awesome… be prepared though … water and light clothing… we went in August and it was very warm out even before sunrise. Excellent views… I would totally recommend this company for this event…!!!!! The views are amazing…!!!

The admission ticket for Sea Life Park was valid for three days, so I enjoyed the aquarium the day before the Luau show and took my time to watch the show on the day itself. Many people were wearing aloha shirts and dresses, and it felt like everyone was looking forward to the show. There were almost no Japanese tourists, so it was great to enjoy the show in an international atmosphere. And the food was very delicious! I participated in all the activities prepared before the show, so I never felt like I had too much free time. Above all, the performance at the end of the Luau show, where they spun the flaming blades at high speed, was breathtaking!

シーライフパークの入場券が3日間使えたので、ルナウショーの前日に水族館を楽しんで、当日はゆっくりショーを見に行きました。
アロハのシャツやドレスを着ている方も多く、みなさんショーを楽しみにして来た感じでした。
日本人の観光客はほぼいなかったので、海外の雰囲気のままショーを楽しめたのはよかったです。
そして料理もとてもおいしかった！
ショーの前に用意されているアクティビティも全て参加し、時間を持て余すことは一切なかったです。
何よりルナウショーの最後の、炎の刃を高速回転させるパフォーマンスは圧巻でした！

In the morning, we had a cruise, followed by a location tour in the afternoon. The cruise involved transferring from a bus to a boat, and then to the cruise ship. On the cruise ship, there was an entertaining aspect where we got splashed with waves before reaching the turnaround point, and if you’re at the bow on the first floor, you will get soaked. Even on the second floor bow, you will get quite wet, so I think it’s fine to enjoy it there knowing that.

The lunch buffet was typically American and quite hearty, but we could also enjoy juice, fruits, lemon cake, and chocolate chip cookies. The movie location tour provided information in English about where filming took place, but it was in a field… and I dozed off a bit due to the bumps in the car. At the end, we had 10 minutes to take photos at a location with many fossil-like features.

The return bus started check-in after 3 PM, and we departed early, which was good since there wasn’t much to do. Overall, it was a fun day, and the guide was cheerful, making it a great experience.

午前中にクルーズ、午後からロケ地ツアーでした。
クルーズは初めにバス移動→舟→クルーズ船と乗り換えしていきます。
クルーズ船では折返し地点前から激しく波のしぶきを浴びるエンターテイメント性があり、一階の船首にいるとびしょ濡れになります。二階の船首でもかなりビショビショになりますので、それを承知で船首で楽しむもよしだと思います。
ランチブッフェはアメリカらしい大味ですが、ジュース、果物やレモンケーキ、チョコチップクッキーなども食べれます。
映画ロケ地ツアーは英語でここで撮影された〜等の案内がありますが、そこは原っぱで…車の揺れでウトウトしてしまいました。最後は化石風のものがたくさんの撮影場所で10分間各々撮影。
帰りのバスは15時すぎにはチェックインが始まりら早めに出発しました。することがなかったので、これはよかったです。
いずれも楽しく、案内役の方も陽気でよい一日となりました。

This was an amazing experience! We got to see so many sea turtles and different kinds of fish and the mai tais were delicious! The entire crew was so kind and helpful the entire time, and I even got a recommendation on where to go for dinner after talking with our captain, JJ, and it was delicious!

11/10 experience, I will definitely be returning to the Ke Kai next time I’m on the island!

Great professional sailors and coast guard certified crew. Great “Holokai Hooch”, gotta be careful, that hooch will sneak up on you, especially if you mix it with champagne for that carbonated kick hehe!

Great romantic time with my husband, watched the sunset as sugar ray played lightly in the background. We are a young couple but we love 90s music!

The only drawback is that the trip was too short.

Would definitely do it again, maybe try to nudge them to stay sailing a little longer.

Absolutely loved and enjoyed this experience. It was my husband’s first time, and he had the time of his life. This experience would have been nothing without the zip lining associates that were so professional, yet encouraging and light hearted at the same time! Special shoutout to Reagan & Shiloh, what an awesome crew! I forgot the guys name but he was great too, made some funny jokes on our atv ride out to the zip lines. Speaking of zip lines, such a fun experience and a great workout might I add. If you have a fear of heights that you want to get over, then this zip lining crew is the one you want!!

PS, if you’re driving from Wakiki to this place, be prepared to be blown away with some breathtaking views of the island!

Cons: Location wasn’t too clear, better signage in the future would be great.

Buoyant donut was too small for the amount or people, so lots of bumping and kicking, including from the trainer. A bigger float donut would be perfect.

Water was murky, but not much can be done about that. Maybe a heads up from the diver if they have an indication of the water condition before hand would help.

Pros: Diver was great in making sure that we got to see a few fish. He also dove down to grab some of the water life and we got a chance to hold them in our hands.

We brought our own snorkel and mouth piece, and diver was very helpful in making sure it was secure to their masks.

Diver was very knowledgeable and got us checked out with our photos and videos in hand very quickly.

Definitely recommend this for super beginners!

My children had a blast that day! It was their first time on an ATV! The staff was extremely friendly, patient, & kind. We will be back again when we visit the Norrh Shore. What a great experience for all ages!

Last year, I signed up for the same tour, but I couldn't find the pickup bus. I was really disappointed, but the team at Veltra handled the follow-up quickly and politely. This year, I decided to give it another try and chose Veltra without hesitation, feeling reassured by their response to last year's mishap. The pickup location had changed from last year, but I was able to meet up with the driver without any issues. Since it was a weekday, the place was relatively quiet, and I was able to enjoy riding the popular slides continuously, having a fantastic day!

昨年、同じこのツアーを申し込みしたのですが、迎えのバスに遭遇できませんでした。ガッカリ落ち込んでいたのですが、ベルトラさんの方で迅速、丁寧に事後処理の対応をして下さいました。今年こそリベンジしようと再申し込みし、昨年の万が一の対応に安心できるベルトラさんを迷わず選びました。ピックアップ場所も昨年から変更されており、無事、迎えの運転手さんと合流。平日という事もあり、比較的空いていて、人気スライダーにも続けて乗るなど、1日中、思いっきり楽しむ事ができました！

Great opportunity to see turtles and fish. Food was good. Staff was super friendly and there was ample parking at the marina. Overall we like it.

We participated as a family.
We rode our bikes to Lanikai Beach and were able to see many fish while snorkeling!
After that, we rode our bikes to Kailua Town and had a fun and fulfilling time!
Thank you, Natsue and Emi, for all your help!
The ocean was very beautiful, and we had a wonderful time!

家族で参加させていただきました。
自転車でラニカイビーチまで行き、シュノーケリングで沢山の魚を見ることができました！
その後自転車でカイルアタウンまで行き、楽しく充実した時間を過ごすことができました！
なつえさん、えみさん、いろいろとお世話になりありがとうございました！
海がとてもきれいで、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！

We did an afternoon tour of the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and loved it. The water was chest deep in some spots and above our heads in other spots. I believe it was high tide. The sandbar is gorgeous and was a must see for us. What made this great was the helpful and friendly demeanor of the staff along with the live music. They had a lifeguard in the snorkeling area which made us feel safe. There was plenty of gear to borrow and things to do: snorkeling, volleyball, kayak, SUPs, footballs to throw around, and swimming. We are so glad we did this tour and would do it again.

Was super fun for 7 year old and 2 adults. Would recommend. Have a great time.

First of all, it was really too much fun... The first one started with a bit of nervous excitement. But once it began, the amazing views, thrills, and enjoyment made it feel like no time had passed. I'm grateful to the girls who joined me and made it even more fun. Just remembering that feeling brings back the joy! The hike to the next zip line was quite tough, but it was so much fun that it made it all worthwhile! I want to participate again. Thank you!

まずはほんとに楽し過ぎて‥
一本目はちょっと緊張してドキドキからのスタートでした。でも始まってしまったら最高の景色とスリルと楽しさであっと言うまでした。
一緒に回ってくれた女の子達も楽しく盛り上げてくださり感謝です。
あの感覚を思い出すだけで楽しさがよみがえります！
次のジップラインまでのハイキングは結構キツかったけど、それが吹っ飛ぶほど楽し過ぎました！
また参加したいです。
ありがとうございました！

This time, we chose the heavenly sea for the end of our trip. Since we wanted a private experience, we opted for the lounge port. It was pure bliss to enjoy such an amazing view with just our family, without worrying about other people. The captain was handsome, and it seems my daughters had a great time for a different reason. I definitely want to go for a private experience again next time.

今回は旅の最後に天国の海を選びました。どうせなら貸し切りと思い今回ラウンジポートを選びました。ゆっくり人を気にせずあんな最高の景色を家族だけで楽しめて幸せの絶頂でした。キャプテンがイケメンで娘達は興奮して違う意味で楽しかったみたいです。又次も貸し切りで行きたいと思います。

This was my first time participating in a tour at Kualoa Ranch. Since I had rented a car, I opted for a plan without transportation. With the no-transportation plan, there were no coordinators, so the process was simply checking in upon arrival, and it didn't matter whether I made the reservation here or directly on-site.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but there were two disappointing points. I had checked the best seats in advance, so I arrived early at the meeting place to secure a good seat. However, due to a Chinese family that arrived last, my seat was changed to the very back, which was the bumpiest spot.

Additionally, that Chinese family occupied the seats in front of us and, for some reason, kept eating rice balls and Spam in the shaking vehicle, creating a cloud of dust. I wanted to enjoy the natural scents, but instead, it smelled like Spam.

クアロアランチのツアーは初参加。レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしのプランでした。送迎なしプランはコーディネーターさんなどいないので到着してチェックインしてといった流れでこちらで予約しても現地で直接予約しても変わりません。
ツアー自体は満喫しましたが残念だった点が2点ほど、
事前にベストの座席をチェックしていたので早めに集合場所に行き座席を確保したのですが、最後に来た中国人家族団体のせいで座席を変更されてしまいまさかの1番揺れる1番後ろの席になりました。
さらにその中国人家族団体は私たちの前の席を陣取っており何故か砂煙が舞う揺れる車中でずっとおにぎりやスパムを食べていました。せっかく自然の香りを堪能したかったのにスパム臭い。

Expérience géniale !
Dans un décor sublime un moment inoubliable
Je vous conseille le VTT Raptor pour faire le plein de sensations.
Vous pouvez venir avec vos enfants en toute sécurité !

My family went on this adventure because friends suggested it. We were not disappointed. The staff was so nice and attentive. We were able to enjoy snorkeling, kayak and SUP. I had never snorkeled before and I was amazing by how beautiful all the sea life was. We loved listening to the music, eat donuts and even had a chance to see a sea turtle swim by. Would definitely recommend!
