All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

This was an amazing activity for our entire family, from a 3yr old to the grandma. The staff was friendly and encouraging and the band was great too!


My three-year-old rode the bumper raft, and the staff took their time driving slowly and carefully so that he can enjoy the activity.

My older kids did the bumper raft, snorkeled and did sup. Plenty to do in the allowed hours.

We highly recommend!

In the first 20 minutes, there was a training session for all participants, and they provided one-on-one instruction. After that, they carefully guided us around Magic Island and its surroundings, with staff positioned at the front and back of the line, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. Additionally, they took photos and videos at each spot, which was great, and I wanted to recommend it to my acquaintances.

While I have no complaints about the experience itself, when we returned to the starting point and were about to leave, they asked for a tip. Of course, I was aware of this in advance and had prepared for it, but I found it questionable that we couldn't leave until we paid. Moreover, we were seated next to another group, which forced us to tip the same amount, leaving me with a disappointing feeling as I left that place.

最初の20分ぐらいで、参加者全員に講習があり、付きっきりで教えてくれた。その後、マジックアイランドやその周辺を、列の前後をスタッフで挟みながら丁寧に付いて回ってくれて、何一つ不安なく楽しめた。また、スポット毎に、写真やビデオ撮影をしてくれて、とても良く、知人にも紹介したいと思った。
これ自体は文句のつけようがないが、出発地点に戻ってきて、さあ、帰ろうとしたら、チップをくれ、と言う。もちろん、それは事前に知っていたし、準備もしていたが、支払うまで出れないようにするのはいかがなものか。しかも、他のグループと隣同士に座らされたので、同額にせざるを得ず、残念な気持ちで、その場所を後にした。

This time, I had a two-hour horseback riding experience with my grandchildren. We leisurely toured a location that was also used for a movie shoot, making it a wonderful memory for my 70th birthday. Thank you very much! ^ ^

今回は孫たちと2時間の乗馬体験
2時間たっぷり　映画ロケ地にもなった場所をゆっくり巡り最高の古希の思い出になりました　有難うございました^ ^

I used the Rock-a-Flush Show Luau for the first time!

It was our honeymoon in Hawaii, filled with first-time experiences! I was a bit anxious about fully enjoying Hawaii, so I booked this show to feel that Hawaiian vibe. To sum it up, I truly believe it was a great decision to make the reservation.

First, we received a beautiful lei made of fresh flowers! It was a bit exciting to receive that coveted lei from a hula girl, just like I had seen on TV! After that, we were kindly shown to our seats, and while enjoying a Mai Tai welcome drink and welcome pineapple, we were entertained by live ukulele performances for each guest, creating a welcoming atmosphere during the wait!

Then the luau began! We enjoyed beautiful hula dances by the hula girls and took part in an authentic hula lesson, making my heart feel Hawaiian. After the hula dance show, we indulged in a delightful buffet. The local dishes, fresh fruits, and grilled foods were all amazing, and by this point, both my eyes and stomach were completely satisfied!

But this is just the beginning! We moved to the show venue, where the hula dance evolved with the times, and the dynamic dances and songs kept raising our excitement! The final fire show was mesmerizing, and I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second! I never expected to be so moved, and both my husband and I truly felt that making the reservation was the right choice.

ロック・ア・フラショー ルアウを初めて利用しました！

初めてのハワイで初めて尽くしのハネムーン！ハワイを満喫できるか不安もあり、ハワイっぽさを感じたくこのショーを予約！
結論から言って、予約して本当に良かったと心から思います。

先ずは生花で作られたレイのプレゼント！テレビで見てたあの憧れのレイをフラガールから貰えるなんて、ちょっと嬉しい！
その後丁寧に席に案内され、マイタイのウェルカムドリンクとウェルカムパイナップルを楽しみワクワクしながら待っていると、ウクレレ演奏をゲスト毎に生演奏で披露してくれ、待ち時間も楽しませてくれるウェルカム感！
そこからルアウのスタート！美しいフラガールによるフラダンスを楽しみ、本格的なフラレッスンを受けて、私の心もハワイアン。
フラダンスショーが終わってからはお楽しみのブュッフェ。地元料理や新鮮なフルーツ、グリル料理はどれも最高で、ここまでで既に目も胃袋も満足感間違いなし！

でもここからが本番です！ショーの会場へ移動し、時代と共に進化を遂げいくフラダンス、躍動感溢れるダンスに歌でどんどんテンションが上がっていきます！ラストのファイヤーショーは一瞬たりとも目が離せませんでした！こんなに感動するとは思っておらず、夫婦揃って本当に予約して良かったと心から思いました。

This activity was great for beginners. The instructor was amazing and made sure everyone had a good time.
The only drawback that day was water was very murky and made it difficult to see as many see fish and other sea creatures.
I would highly recommend this activity and instrutor.

Really got to see the island like never before. Was really great.

글라이더 투어 처음으로 해 보았습니다.
긴장이 되긴 했지만, 하기를 잘 했다고 생각이 듭니다.
하늘에서 감동을 잊을 수가 없습니다.
하와이에 왔다면, 꼭~ 유인 글라이더 투어를 하시기 바랍니다.
완전 강추 입니다.~^^
무한 도전에서 나오셨던 그 아저씨...
지금은 세월이 15년이나 흘러 할아버지가 되셨지만,
같이 사진 찍어 주시면서 다양한 포즈 취하게 해 주시고 ㅎㅎ
즐겁게 사진을 찍었습니다.
다음에 또 하와이를 간다면 글라이더 투어 한번 더 하고 싶네요~^^

기대를 해서 갔는데 완전 대 실망
다 떨어져 나갈 것 같은 버스에 창문이 없어서 먼지가 풀풀 날리고,
영화 촬영지라 해서 영화의 한 장면 흔적이라도 있을꺼라 생각 하고
기대 하고 갔는데, 영화 촬영한 간판 조그만한거 하나 붙여 놓고 여기서
촬영 했다는 설명.. ㅡㅡ^
누가 간다고 한다면 절대 추천 하지 않겠슴
돈 낭비, 시간 낭비 만 한 것 같음.

No one spoke English, but the local coordinator was very kind, interesting, and made it enjoyable for us.

英語が誰ひとり、できませんでしたが、現地のコーディネーターの人が大変、優しく、おもしろく、接していただき楽しめる事ができました

I am at fault for being late, but I was delayed in checking in due to traffic conditions, and it seems my reasons were not accepted, so the fee of 150,000 yen will not be refunded. I thought at least I could change the time, but that was also not allowed. I feel so sorry for the children; it was the worst.

時間に遅れた私が悪いのですが、交通事情でチェックインに遅れ、理由を聞き入れてもらえず、代金15万円は返却されないようです。せめて時間変更をと思いましたが時間変更も駄目ということ、子供達が可哀想で可哀想で､､､最悪でした。

I received a clear explanation of the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii in Japanese. It was a meet-up at the location, but it was close to the bus stop, and since the area is residential, it was fine. It was my first time doing hula dancing, but they taught it slowly, so I was able to keep up! Making leis was also fun. I highly recommend it!

ハワイ王国の歴史を日本語でわかりやすく説明していただきました。現地集合でしたが、バス停からも近く、周囲は住宅街なので大丈夫でした。フラダンスは初めてでしたが、ゆっくり教えてくださったので、ついていくことができました！レイ作りも楽しかったです。お勧めです！

Since the tour was during high tide, the island didn't appear, just a shallow sea. The guides were kind, but overall, I think the price was high. I don't think I'll try again.

満潮時にツアーだった為島は現れずただの遠浅の海。
ガイドさん達は親切ではあったがトータルしても料金は高いかな？リベンジしようとは思わない。

This time, I came to Hawaii with my 8-year-old grandson, and we participated in a tour where we could play with dolphins at Sea Life Park. It was an experience that we can't have much in Japan, and my grandson was very happy. At first, he was a little scared, but the staff guided us well, so he gradually got used to it and seemed to have fun. I also enjoyed it, feeling nostalgic since it had been a while since my last visit.

今回は8歳の孫と一緒にハワイに来たのでシーライフパークでイルカと遊べるツアーに参加しました。日本国内ではあまり経験できないことができて、孫は大変喜んでいました。最初は少し怖がっていましたが、スタッフの誘導が上手なので徐々に慣れてきて、楽しそうでした。私も久々に訪れたので懐かしさもあり楽しめました。

Although the weather was cloudy with occasional rain and the tide was somewhat high (around 1 meter at the sandbar), I believe it was not the best climatic condition. However, thanks to the cheerful and warm-hearted staff, the captain's performance, and the adorable marine creatures we encountered, we added a wonderful page to our memories of our first trip to Hawaii!

I participated with my wife and our children, aged 4 and 8, and our whole family was able to enjoy the activities with peace of mind from our respective positions.

Thank you very much!

曇天～時折雨天で潮位もやや高く（サンドバーで1m前後？）、決して気候的にはベストコンディションとは言えない状況だったと思いますが、陽気で暖かな心遣い満点のスタッフのみなさん・キャプテンのパフォーマンスやかわいい海の住民たちとの出会いにより、初めてのハワイ旅行の思い出に最高の１ページが加わりました！
妻と４歳・８歳の子供たちと参加しましたが、家族一同それぞれの立場で安心してアクティビティを満喫できました。
ありがとうございました！

Right after jumping, my first impression was "It's cold!" But immediately after, I was shouting "Amazing! This is crazy, crazy!!" I want to experience it not just once, but two or three times.

飛んだ直後は「寒い！」と言うのが感想　でも直ぐに「最高！」「ヤバい、ヤバい！！」と叫んでました。
一度と言わずに二度、三度と体験したいです。

Great experience arranged by great people! I Can highly recommend this trip.

This was probably the best tour we went on during our trip. The snorkeling was arguably better than Hanauma Bay. There were less fish, but the corals were in way better shape and the water was a lot calmer. I probably spent most of my time just snorkeling. The kayaks and paddle boards were alright. There isn’t much to do on them so I didn’t really spend much of my time on those. I saw mostly a parent and their kids riding the kayaks. There is a platform in the middle that you can hang out in. The food was good, but I suggest bringing extra snacks as I got a little hungry after hanging out at the sandbar. For drinks they only served beer and hard seltzers, but they gave you the option to bring your own if you’re into that. We were there during high tide so there wasn’t much to stand on, but you can still get your feet on the sand in some parts. We opted for the banana boat and bumper tube and this probably was my favorite part. Banana boat was okay, but the bumper tube ride was insane. I got the opportunity to ride solo on one of the runs and I asked them to give me the crazy ride, and man did they deliver. BIG shoutout to the guy towing the tube. The staff was awesome and super accommodating. They let everyone have fun while keeping it safe. Definitely the best experience out of all the other ones we did in Oahu (cruise, Kualoa ranch, hanauma bay, shark swimming). Would recommend and is a 100% must do in my opinion.

I took advantage of the pick-up service to Waikiki. In the morning, a cheerful older man came to pick me up in a van. All 11 of us boarded the 11-seater, and it took a little over an hour to reach the North Shore.

Upon arrival, I logged in using a touch panel. Everything was in English, but I managed to do it in about five minutes with Google Lens for translation. Then, I went to the register to pay a fuel surcharge of $15 and chose a photo package to complete the process.

I was expecting some safety instructions before the jump, but the instructor helped me put on the gear and briefly said in broken Japanese where to place my hands just before jumping, to "arch my back" while in the air, and to lift my legs upon landing. It was a bit confusing, and I felt a little discomfort when the gear accidentally hit my ear during removal, but I couldn't express it well. Other than that, it was fantastic.

After that, I boarded the plane, jumped, arched my back, lifted my legs, and landed. I received a souvenir at the end. At that time, I was given a bag for tips, which I placed in the box.

On the way back, I rode with the same group. It was a bit scary to eat a sandwich while using my smartphone and driving on the highway, but I made it back safely.

ワイキキへ迎えに来てくれるとのことでそれを利用しました。
朝、元気のいいおじさんがバンで迎えに来てくれました。
11人乗りに11人乗り込んで1時間強くらいでノースショアの現地につきました。

現地に着くとタッチパネルでログイン。
全部英語なのでgoogleレンズで翻訳しながら5分でできました。
そうしたらレジに行き燃料サーチャージ15ドル？を支払い。写真を撮るコースを選び完了。

飛ぶ前に何かしら注意事項があるのかと思っていましたが、インストラクターが器具を装着してくれながら、飛ぶ寸前は手はここ、飛んだら「エビゾリ」、着地は足上げてと片言の日本語で言われて終わりです。
着地して器具を外す時にたまたま耳に金具が当たり痛かったですが伝え方が分からずそこだけがモヤりましたが、あとは最高です。

あとは、飛行機に乗り込んでジャンプしてエビゾリして足上げて着地して終わりです。
記念品をもらいます。その時チップを入れる袋をもらいます。チップを入れて箱に入れます。

帰りの車も同じメンバーで乗って帰ります。
スマホいじりながらサンドイッチを食べながら高速道路を運転するのは少し怖かったですが無事帰りました。

We loved our Raptor trip at Kualoa Ranch. The property is beautiful with so many great stories, and the tour guides were great. We highly recommend!

The tour was awesome. My 13 and 11 year old loved it and loved getting to hear all the stories of the different actors that have been there and left wanting to watch a ton of movies! Sam was great and so was our tour guide! Loved being able to get off and take pictures at different spots

The sliders here are all incredibly enjoyable and fun. This time, a Japanese staff member provided various explanations and assistance, which was very reassuring. You can take one unopened bottle of water per person, so it's more economical to bring your own. Credit cards are accepted within the facility, so you probably don't need to bring cash. I think the locker fees have gone up a bit. During my visit on August 1st, the large locker was $18.

ここのスライダーはどれも最高に気持ち良く、楽しいものばかりです。
今回は、日本の方が、色々と説明してくれ、アシストもしてくれるのでとても心強かったです。
水は、一人一本未開封のボトルが持っていけるので、持って行った方が節約になります。
施設内では、クレジットカードが使えるので、現金は持って行かなくてもいいかと思います。
ロッカー代は、少し値段が上がってると思います。今回8月1日の利用でしたが、大きいロッカーが18ドルでした。

The entire boat crew made this an experience to remover for ever. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend booking an evening tour with them, job well done!

There are convenient bus transfers from several major hotels in Waikiki. On the day of the trip, I was worried because the bus arrived about 10 minutes late due to a traffic jam, but I was able to board safely.

It takes about an hour by car from Waikiki to Mokuleia. During the ride, the driver gave a brief explanation in English (I couldn't catch much due to my own English skills, but it was no problem). The driver was a cheerful person who even started singing alone, which felt very American, haha.

For skydiving, after checking in, you take off following a brief lecture. You can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, so I highly recommend it. This time, I jumped from 1,400 feet, but I would like to try 1,800 feet someday. You can also purchase videos and photos.

ワイキキ内のいくつかの主要ホテルからバス送迎があるので便利です。当日はtraffic jamでバスの到着が10分ほど遅れ心配しましたが、無事に乗れました。

ワイキキからモクレイアまで、車で約1時間ほど。車内でドライバーさんから簡単な説明を英語で受けました(自身の英語力の問題であまり聞き取れなかったですが、問題なしです)。ドライバーさんは愉快な方で、1人で歌を歌い始めたりしてアメリカンでした笑。

スカイダイビングは、受付後、簡単なレクチャーのあと飛び立ちます。綺麗な海と山々の景色を堪能できるのでとてもおすすめです。今回は1,400フィードで飛びましたが、いつか1,800フィートも試してみたい。動画や写真も買うことができます。

We participated as a family of three. While cruising on the boat, the waves were quite strong, and the driver enjoyed riding the waves, resulting in most people getting soaked, which made for a fun time. I was trying to avoid the splashes, but my daughter was having a blast and making a lot of noise. I would love to participate again.

家族3人で参加しました。クルーザーで海を流していると、波が結構強く、運転手も楽しんで波にのり、大半の人がビシャビシャになり、楽しい時間でした。私はシブキを避けてましたが、娘は大騒ぎではしゃいで楽しんでました。また参加したいと思いました。

This activity is one of the best ! You get to swim in clear blue waters . The crew is very professional and they help you feel safe . The views are amazing and surreal. The crew is helpful and super nice. My kids felt safe and loved it

I have been staying in Honolulu for three consecutive years. I am spending a week here on a refreshing vacation, enjoying the cooler and more comfortable weather compared to Japan.

It has been my dream to become a pilot, and I try to experience as much flying as possible during my travels abroad. Taking off from Honolulu Airport, we headed towards the east coast via Diamond Head. The beautiful coastline took my breath away. The detailed explanations made the landing come quickly. Thank you to the driver for being so courteous from start to finish.

Finally, I have decided to start keeping a logbook. I definitely want to stop by again the next time I stay in Honolulu. Thank you! ♪

３年連続ホノルルに滞在しています。日本よりも涼しくて快適なホノルルにリフレッシュ休暇で一週間滞在しています。
パイロットになるのが夢で、海外旅行の際はできるだけ操縦体験をするようにしています。
ホノルル空港を飛び立ちダイヤモンドヘッド経由東海岸方面へ。綺麗な海岸線に心打たれます。きめ細かい説明をしていただきあっという間に着陸となりました。送迎のドライバーさんも最初から最後までご丁寧にありがとうございます。
ついに、ログブックをつけ始めることにしました。
また、ホノルルに滞在するときは必ず寄らせていただきたいです。ありがとうございました♪

Outstanding staff! Awesome experience for kids and adults! Beautiful island!

We didn't get to see any turtles but there were lots of fish. Overall we had a good time

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful sea. There was transportation to the main points in Waikiki, and there was a Japanese guide on the boat who provided plenty of explanations, so I felt secure and enjoyed myself. I was able to try SUP, which I had always wanted to do, and I saw many fish while snorkeling (although I didn't get to see any sea turtles…). For snacks, there were donuts, and the soft drinks available were water, orange juice, and hot water. There is a changing room on the boat, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. You will end up freezing on the air-conditioned bus ride back.
It seems that you need to go with a different tour company to visit the so-called sandbar (a beach surrounded by the sea). The area we played in was shallow enough to stand, but it was a bit deeper in some spots.

とにかく綺麗な海で感動しました。ワイキキの主要ポイントへの送迎があり、船には日本人のガイドさんも乗っていたので説明も十分にしていただき安心して楽しめました。ずっとやってみたかったSUPもできたし、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚が見れました。(ウミガメには会えませんでした…)軽食にはドーナツ、ソフトドリンクは水、オレンジジュース、お湯がありました。船の中に更衣室があるので着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。凍えながら冷房の効いたバスで帰ることになります。
いわゆるサンドバー(海に囲まれた砂浜)は別のツアー会社じゃないといけないみたいです。我々が遊んだ海は足がつくけどちょっと深めのところでした。

It may have been a coincidence, but the Japanese were only among themselves. I was a bit anxious since there were no explanations in Japanese, but I was able to enjoy dolphins and snorkeling in a world without Japanese, which was different from Waikiki, without any major issues.

たまたまかもしれませんが、日本人は自分たちだけ。
日本語の説明は一切ないので不安もありましたが、大きく困ることもなく、ワイキキとは違う日本語のない世界でイルカやシュノーケルを楽しめました。
