All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I was really looking forward to doing skydiving in Hawaii, something that is quite difficult to do in Japan, since I made the reservation. I was worried because it seemed like only English would be used, but everyone was kind and we managed with gestures. The skydiving experience was amazing, and the ocean and sky were beautiful. The person behind me during the tandem jump seemed very trustworthy, which made me feel safe while jumping. It was the best experience. Since it was my first time, I didn't have the opportunity to take in my surroundings at first, so if I go to Hawaii again, I plan to skydive here once more and take my time to enjoy the view.

日本ではなかなか出来ないスカイダイビングをハワイでやろうと、予約した時からとても楽しみにしていました。英語しか使えないみたいに書いてあったから心配しましたが、皆さん親切でジェスチャーでなんとかなりました。スカイダイビングですがとにかく海と空が綺麗でした。タンデムの後ろの方がすごく信頼できそうな方で安心して飛べました。最高の体験が出来ました。初めてでゆっくり周りを見る余裕が初めのうちはなかったので、次回ハワイに行くことがあったらまたここでスカイダイビングをして今度はじっくりまわりを見ようと思いました。

The jungle tour involves driving through the mountains to get close to the summit, offering breathtaking views. Since it's by car, it's quick, but if you were to hike it, it would take more than half a day. As mentioned in other experiences, there is quite a bit of dust, especially when a four-wheeler is ahead of you. Perhaps because it's the dry season, the surrounding trees are changing color. If you're sensitive to dust, wearing a mask might be a good idea. As for the movie filming locations, I haven't watched many films, so the only one I recognized was Jurassic Park. The farm tour was great, especially the cacao tasting.

ジャングルツアーは車で山のなかを走って頂上に近いところまで行って絶景です　車なので早いですが自力で登ったら半日以上かかります　体験談にもあったけど砂埃は結構あります　特に四輪バギーが前を走ったら酷い　乾季だからなのか周りの木々も色が変わっている位　嫌いな人はマスクしたらいいかもしれません　映画のロケ地は余り映画を観ていないのでジェラシックパークくらいしかわかりませんでした　農園ツアーはカカオ試食が良かったです

The crew was very friendly. I brought my 3 year old and she was very comfortable. The drinks were amazing. Hats off Captain and crew for making the visit memorable for me and family.......

I was able to encounter many sea turtles, and both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding were very satisfying experiences.

I was worried because there were many negative reviews, but the guide staff were kind and provided thorough explanations. I brought breakfast and water, but there were plenty of snacks and soft drinks available, so preparation was unnecessary! Although there are no lids, containers for storing belongings are provided.

Some areas of the sandbar can feel painful when barefoot, so it's good to have reef shoes. Also, since the UV rays are very strong, a rash guard is essential.

たくさんのウミガメに出会うことができ、シュノーケリングもサップもとても満足できる内容でした。

ネガティブなレビューも多かったので心配でしたが、ガイドスタッフは優しく、説明も丁寧でした。
朝ごはんと水を持参しましたが軽食とソフトドリンクがたくさん用意してあり準備は不要でした！
蓋はありませんが荷物を入れるコンテナも準備されています。

サンドバーは裸足だと痛く感じるところもあるためリーフシューズがあると良いです。また、紫外線がとても強いためラッシュガードも必須です。

I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.

My husband and I enjoyed this tour…The sand bar is totally unique.. it’s very cool to step out of the boat in what should be deep water and find the water to only be knee deep! The lunch that was provided was delicious.. hamburgers hot off a grill with sides. Then off to a second location to snorkel with hot chocolate or coffee available after ! The guys were very nice.. friendly and fun!

Our first time snorkeling and it was the perfect experience. The crew was awesome - professional & fun. A Lifeguard was on board and kept a close eye on everyone. The turtles were so amazing! Highly recommend this tour!

A senior couple, a two-hour horseback ride! I was a bit worried if it would be okay, but I had so much fun. Before the ride, the Japanese explanatory video made everything easy to understand and put my mind at ease.

Anyway, the horses are very smart. The staff member led us confidently. The mountain paths with views of the great outdoors, the narrow trails through the grasslands, and the beautiful slopes overlooking the sea were wonderful. When it started to rain partway through, we got excited and said, "Wow, it's like a scene from a movie!" I highly recommend this for seniors.

シニア夫婦、２時間の乗馬！　大丈夫かなっと不安でしたが　＼(^o^)／　とっても楽しめます。乗馬前に日本語での説明映像で分かり安く安心しました。
とにかく《お馬さんがお利口です。》スタッフのお姉さんが、グイグイとリードしてくれます。大自然の山を見上げる山道・草原の細道・綺麗な海に見惚れながらの坂道ステキです。途中で雨が降ってきた事も『わあ〜シナリオ通りみたいだね』と、盛り上がりました。シニアの方々にお勧めしたいです。

I had an awesome time! Will do again when I’m in the area

I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch!

The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to enjoy both the ocean and the mountains! It was my first time riding, and I was a bit anxious, but the staff were kind, and the horse was very well-behaved! I did end up with a bit of back pain, though, haha.

I was also happy that they asked for my preferences regarding the shuttle bus schedule! Thank you very much!

クアロアランチで乗馬体験してきました！

とても景色がよく、海と山両方楽しむことができました！
乗馬も初めてで不安でしたがスタッフさんも優しく、馬もとてもいい子でした！
ただ私は少し腰が痛くなりました、、笑

送迎バスの時間も希望を聞いていただけて嬉しかったです！ありがとうございました！

I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but checking in was easy with the iPad! If anything came up, I had Google Translate, so it was fine!

This time, there was a staff member who could speak Japanese. The instructor also spoke a little Japanese, which was helpful!

I also requested a shuttle service this time. The driver was very friendly and talked to me a lot (though I only understood a little bit). I gave a $10 tip for the shuttle when I got off! There were some people who didn't give a tip, so I wondered if it was okay not to tip.

The scenery was amazing! I'm glad I could fly in Hawaii! However, my ears hurt a bit from the pressure (laughs).

英語が話せないので不安でしたが
チェックインはiPadで簡単に出来ました！
何かあればGoogle翻訳があるので大丈夫！

今回は店員さんに日本語が話せる方が居ました。
インストラクターの方も少し日本語話してくださったので助かりました！

そして今回は送迎もお願いしました。
とても気さくな方で色々お話ししてくださいました。(なんとなくでしか分からなかったですが)
送迎のチップは帰りの降りる時に10ドル(1人)渡しました！
渡していない人もいたので渡さなくてもいいのかな？

景色最高！ハワイで飛べて良かったです！
ただ耳は気圧でちょっと痛かったです(笑)

Absolutely would do this every time I was in Hawaii. The experience really dives you into nature. Perfect time during our honeymoon.

I participated because I wanted to go with the flow on the night of my arrival. The venue is on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, so if you're staying in Waikiki, you don't have to worry about transportation, right? We gathered after 5:00 PM and started with a meal. The menu is quite extensive, from drinks to desserts. There were tables surrounded by friends that were really lively. There were also tables where people who spoke different languages were happily chatting with each other. The highlight, of course, is the show itself. The spirit of "LET US ENTERTAIN YOU!!!" from all the performers was overwhelming, and it brought tears to my eyes. It happened several times. Speaking of which, I had a similar experience on the sunset dinner cruise "Star of Honolulu," provided by the Ohana (family) company of this show (which I participated in previously). I was fortunate enough to receive something from Presley, and I even felt, "Is it okay to have this much fun on the first day?" I sincerely thank everyone who was at the venue that day.

到着日の夜を流れに身を任せて過ごしたくて参加。会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階、ワイキキ滞在者なら移動の心配不要では？17:00過ぎに集合してまずは御食事。ドリンク〜スイーツまで、メニューもかなり豊富です。一卓を仲間内で囲んでやたら盛り上がっているテーブルもありました。異なる言語を話す初対面どうしで話しに花を咲かせているテーブルもありました。圧巻はやはりショーそのものです。すべての出演者の全身から「LET US ENTERTAIN YOU！！！（わたしたちがみなさんを心から楽しませます）」スピリットが炸裂、なんだか泣けてくる。しかも数回。そういえばこちらのショーのオハナ（ファミリー）カンパニーが提供するサンセット・ディナークルーズ「スターオブホノルル号」でもそういう体験をしました（以前参加）。プレスリーから〇〇を手渡してもらうという幸運にも恵まれ、「初日からこんなに盛り上がっていいの？」という気持ちにさえなりました。あのとき会場にいらした全ての方々に、心から感謝いたします。

I made a reservation for the trolley bus to Diamond Head. The day before using it, I presented my confirmation at the LeaLea Lounge on the third floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center and exchanged it for my boarding pass. At that time, I received the route and timetable for each line at the counter, which was convenient to carry around. The trolley to Diamond Head operates early in the morning, but you can't climb the mountain in the evening, so the trolley service ended around that time. Additionally, it gets crowded, so the staff advised me to board the first trolley at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I was able to travel while feeling the Hawaiian breeze in an open vehicle. Since the conditions allowed for unlimited use throughout the day, I took the trolley on the East Oahu route that departs at 2:30 PM, which only runs twice a day in the afternoon.

ダイアモンドヘッドに行くトロリーバス目当てで予約しました。利用する前日にロイヤル・ハワイアン・センターＢ館の３階にあるLeaLeaラウンジで確認書を提示し、乗車券に引き換えました。その際、窓口で各路線のルートと時刻表をもらいましたので、それを携帯しながら回れ便利でした。ダイアモンドヘッドに行くトロリーは朝早くから運行していますが、夕方くらいで山に登れなくなるので、トロリーは夕方くらいで終わりました。また、混雑するのでスタッフの方に始発のロイヤル・ハワイアン・センターで乗車するようアドバイスをいただきました。窓のない車でハワイの風を感じながら移動できました。１日何度でも利用できる条件でしたので、午後は１日２便しか運行していない１４時３０分発、東オアフルートのトロリーに乗りました。

It was the perfect day for a cruise. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was great. Lunch grilled on the boat was wonderful. I'm a very picky eater and loved the burgers. Snorkeling was the best. It was a beautiful adventure out of a movie swimming around the reef. The views were amazing. I can't say enough wonderful things about the captain and staff on this trip. I will do this again next trip!

My nieces and granddaughters loved this experience. They thought the views are spectacular and amazing

I had seen a hula show before, but this was a different kind of entertainment show! I signed up for the VIP type, and right from the start, I received a fresh lei. Since the welcome at the airport is no longer a thing, this really put me in a Hawaiian mood. The meal started about 40 minutes after the gathering time, but I was able to enjoy a Mai Tai (which you could choose to have with or without alcohol) while waiting. The Mai Tai was refreshing and delicious. I also had coffee and pineapple, and there were staff members playing the ukulele, making the waiting time enjoyable. After that, it was buffet and hula! The buffet had a lot of meat options, but they also served dessert at the end, so I ended up quite full. The VIP type included one more free drink, so I had beer while my mother had a non-alcoholic drink. My mother's non-alcoholic drink was sweet with a hint of coconut. During the meal, there was hula dancing and a hula lesson! After that, we moved to a different location for the entertainment show! It was exciting from the beginning✨ They performed songs that everyone has probably heard, like those by Michael, so even if your English isn't great, you can still enjoy it to some extent. For those who understand well, it would be even more enjoyable. After the show, we took pictures together, which became a great memory.

以前もフラのショーを見たのですが、また違ったエンターテイメントショーでした！ VIPタイプで申し込みましたが、行ってすぐから生レイのプレゼント。今は空港でwelcome！みたいなのがなくなってたので、ここでハワイ的な気分になりました。食事が集合時間40分後くらいしてからのスタートでしたが、マイタイのドリンク(アルコール有り無しを選べる)を飲みながら待つことが出来ました。マイタイさっぱりしてておいしかった。他にはコーヒーやパイナップルなどもいただけて、ウクレレを弾いてくれるスタッフの方も居たりで、待つ時間も有意義。スタートしたあとは、ビュッフェ&フラ！ビュッフェはお肉多めのメニューですが、最後にデザートとかも出て、なかなかお腹いっぱいになりました。VIPタイプはもう一杯ドリンクが無料で付いてたので、私はビール、母はノンアルコール。母のノンアルドリンクはココナッツがきいていて甘かったみたいです。食事の間にフラダンスとフラlesson！そのあと場所を移動してからのエンターテイメントショー！ 最初からドキドキで楽しめました✨ マイケルとかみんなが聞いたことはあるかなって曲をやってくれるので、英語がいまいちの人でもなんとなくでも楽しめるかと思います。ガッツリ分かる人だと、もっと楽しめる ショー終わった後に写真を一緒に撮ってもらいましたが、いい思い出になりました。

The buffet included a hula dance lesson and a show, making it a packed experience! The food was delicious, and I was able to eat until I was full. It was great that VIP guests could enjoy two drinks as well! Additionally, we could go to the food station from our VIP seats. During the show, we were also allowed to bring our drinks. The show featured not only hula but also performances by famous American singers, which was enjoyable! The final greeting was nice too! The staff member was handsome and very charming!

ビュッフェからフラダンスレッスンにショーと、盛りだくさんでした！
ごはんも美味しくお腹いっぱいになるまで食べることができ、vipの場合だと、2ドリンク飲めるのも良かったです！また、vipの席からフードを取りに行く形でした！
また、ショー中も飲み物持ち込み可能でした。
ショーはフラだけでなく、アメリカの有名歌手のしょーもあったので楽しめました^_^
最後のグリーティングも良かったです！
お兄さんもイケメンで癒されました♪

The powerful dance by the men and the graceful hula by the women were wonderful. I was delighted that the performers applied traditional paint on their arms. It's a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it for a memorable experience in Hawaii.

男性力強いダンス、女性のしなやかなフラが素晴らしかった。腕に演技者自身が伝統ペイントを施してくださり嬉しかったです。少し高価ですが、ハワイの思い出に是非おすすめします。

Can we set sail in this heavy rain??
We have departed (laughs).
However, it's cold due to the heavy rain... This time of year might not be ideal.
I will try again in July. I'll report back.

大雨で出向できるのか？？　　
出港しました（笑）
しかし大雨で寒くて・・・・　　この時期はまずいかもですね。
７月にリベンジします。また報告します。

It's a 5-star experience, and the price is around 35,000 yen per person, so I was worried about table manners... but those worries were unnecessary! It was surprisingly casual, as you could stand up and walk out to the deck during the meal. I think it mentioned that "men's dress code is collared shirts," but there were definitely people in T-shirts. The non-alcoholic cocktails were delicious!

5スター、日本円で35,000円/1人くらいの値段なので、テーブルマナー大丈夫かな…
など心配しましたが、いらぬ心配でした！
食事中に立って歩いてデッキに出るのも自由なので意外とフランクにすごしました。
「男性のドレスコードは襟付きの服」と書かれていた気がしますが、全然Tシャツの人もいました。
ノンアルカクテル美味しかったです！

The guidance was very kind, and luckily, I was able to see turtles! I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance for those who are prone to seasickness! The water was murkier than I expected, and there were fewer fish. The view from above was spectacular! Thank you! ^_^

とても親切に案内してくださり、ラッキーなことに亀が見れました！！
波酔いする方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします！
思っていたよりも水が濁っていて魚は少なかったです！
上から見る景色は絶景でした！
ありがとうございました^_^

My family and I loved the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. There was something for everyone to do. We also just enjoyed sitting on the water couch watching everyone else enjoy themselves. The staff was super friendly and helpful!

One of my favorite things to do in Hawaii. I loved the hospitality of the crew, amazing views to the sandbar and while snorkeling, and the yummy snacks provided. I believe this was one of the best place to snorkel with the most clearest waters ever and closest you can get to marine life. Advice would be to book the earliest tour if planning on going on the weekend, it’s less crowded!

Our tour group was awesome!! So friendly and a fun experience. I appreciated the fact they had clean restrooms on the boat. They took their time to make sure we were all well taken care of with food, beverages and most importantly safety. Food was delicious well made burgers. We were able to get seconds once everyone was fed and there were leftovers which was really nice of them to offer for those of us who are good eaters ;) I absolutely love the Hawaiian culture and friendliness. Definitely can feel the ohana love for everyone.

I will definitely be coming back during my next vacation.

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure. Looking forward to our next journey with this awesome crew!

I was happy to encounter sea turtles, and the Japanese guide was kind and fun! The fish were honestly average, but I was glad to see the turtles!

海亀に出会えたところと日本人の案内の方が優しく楽しくよかったです！
魚は正直普通でした笑
でもカメに出会えたのでよかったです！

Since I was alone, I opted for the premium experience to fully enjoy it, and I'm glad I chose the front stage! The fire dance was also impressive.

1人だったのでしっかり楽しむためにプレミアムにしましたが、目の前のステージにしてよかったです！
ファイヤーダンスも迫力ありました

The water park has slides that are different from those in Japan, and both adults and children can enjoy it! The food was also great, featuring American cuisine, which was a nice touch.

I had reserved a cabana in advance, and it was definitely the right decision!

There was quite a bit of free space available, but since I went with children, having a designated area felt safer.

I went with kids aged 6, 4, and 3, and there were areas where even the youngest could have fun, so we were very satisfied! There were few Japanese people, which allowed us to really experience the local atmosphere!

I recommend going on a Saturday when they are open from 10 AM to 8 PM!

日本のウォーターパークとは一味違ったスライダーがあり大人から子どもまで楽しむことができました！食事もアメリカンフードが楽しめるので、その点も良かったです^_^
ガバナを前もってレンタル予約していましたが、予約していて正解でした！

フリーのスペースもかなり多くありましたが、子ども連れで行ったので専用の方が安心でした。

子どもは6歳.4歳.3歳で行きましたが、下の子も楽しむ事のできるエリアもあり大満足！
日本人も少なくて現地を感じれました！

10時〜20時まで営業している土曜日に行くのをオススメします！

We just did the show part and enjoyed it very much. We had a party of. 10 with 4 children ages 4-10. We all enjoyed ourselves, great show!
