All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

When I went to the reception booth and showed my voucher, they said something like, "Please sign the agreement," and my husband and I each signed. We were told, "Be at that peach over there by 7:15," so we waited on the beach, and soon a boat approached from the sea.

We boarded the same boat that had been used for the previous sunset cruise. After the previous passengers disembarked and the cleaning and preparations were done, we were instructed to take off our shoes and roll our pants up to our knees as we got on board. The staff directed us to our seats, and we stored our shoes and bags in the space behind the chairs. After the staff introduced themselves and shared some safety points about the cruise, we set sail.

I was nervous about how to order drinks, but then they called out, "Who wants a Mai Tai? Raise your hand!" Almost everyone raised their hands. Plastic cups filled with ice and Mai Tais were distributed one after another, and cheers of "Kanpai!" echoed around. After that, we went to the counter to order our favorite drinks.

We moved around to take photos and exchanged shots with different groups. At exactly 8:00, fireworks went off, and there was a loud cheer. The weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the starry sky was beautiful. Along the way, the staff handed out snacks like Doritos.

Both the reception and the boat staff spoke only English, and they spoke quickly. Most of the passengers were foreigners, with probably just one other Japanese group besides us. I was nervous about how it would go, but everyone was a bit tipsy, laughing heartily, and we had a great time.

Even with my limited English, I was able to enjoy myself!

出川イングリッシュでも充分楽しめました

beautiful day on the sand bar with great music and organization with tons of activities included (kayaking, paddle board, snorkeling). felt very safe even with two small kids in the open ocean. highly recommend for families!

I was worried because it was stated that English was required, but there was no problem as they communicated in easy-to-understand English words.

Diving while enjoying the wonderful scenery was the best, and it will definitely be an unforgettable experience.

I think the shuttle service from around Waikiki makes it easy to use.

英語が必須と記載があったので心配だったのですが、わかりやすい英単語で貝和してくれたので問題ありませんでした。

素晴らしい景色を眺めながらのダイビングは最高で、忘れられない体験になることは間違いないです。

ワイキキ周辺からの送迎もあるので利用しやすいと思います。

I enjoyed the beautiful sea at Sandbar. We also saw sea turtles while sailing, and we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling as well. The hamburgers were delicious, and the weather was great.

サンドバーではキレイな海を楽しめました。また、航行中にウミガメも見れて、シュノーケリングでもウミガメを見ることができました。ハンバーガーも美味しく、天気にも恵まれてよかったです。

Amazing guides, beautiful scenery and A lot of fun zipping around on the ATVs. Learnt a lot and made special memories.

On the round-trip boat, there was a lively atmosphere with live music. While playing with the SPU and canoe, the staff amusingly helped pull us back when we were about to drift out of the safe zone, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. During snorkeling, we were given food to attract the colorful tropical fish, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii.

往復の船の中では、雰囲気満点の生演奏。
SPUやカヌーで遊んでいて、風で安全区域から出そうになると係の方々が面白おかしく、引き戻し助けてくださり、安心して遊ぶ事ができました。
シュノーケリングでは、餌を持たせてもらい、色とりどりの南国の魚達が側に集まって、美しいハワイの海を楽しむことが出来ました。

The hour went so quickly!
The boat was easy to find, right out the front of Duke's.
The boarding into the boat was relatively easy, there's stairs that come down from the centre of the boat that you climb up. We did get wet leaving the boat but that was okay!

We cruised around to where the fireworks happen and had a great view.
The time went so quickly!

We went to Waikiki for our wedding and honeymoon! We wanted to enjoy something truly Hawaiian, so we made a reservation through Veltra from Japan. The buffet-style meals were delicious, and we were able to enjoy flavors different from those in Japan! The pineapple was cold and tasty too (*´ч`*). The hula dance show during the meal and the post-meal show were filled with Hawaiian charm, and they were all so exciting to watch☆

However, even though we booked the VIP course thinking it would be special, we were guided to the show just like everyone else, and when the paths split, there was no detailed guidance. We were led into the venue in a flowing manner. While we could see from the front, the staff randomly assigned our seats, and those who arrived later were seated in the more visible middle area. Considering the extra cost, I felt there was no need to choose the VIP course. Also, while I knew this beforehand, the fresh flower lei that is only available with the VIP course couldn't be taken back to Japan, so I was disappointed about that since I was looking forward to it.

結婚式とハネムーンを兼ねてワイキキに行きました！ハワイらしいことを楽しみたいと思い、日本からベルトラで予約しました。食事もビュッフェ形式にしては美味しく、日本とは違った味を楽しむことが出来ました！パイナップルも冷たくて美味しかったです(*´ч`*)食事中のフラダンスショーや食後のショーもハワイらしさがたくさん詰まっていて、見ていてワクワクするものばかりでした☆
しかし、せっかくだからと思いVIPコースで予約しましたが、ショーに案内される時にも一般の方と同じように一斉に案内され、途中で一般と道が分かれる際にも詳しい案内はなく、流れ込むように会場に案内されました。前方で見ることは出来ましたが、席もスタッフに勝手に決められ、後から来た人の方を真ん中の見やすい所に座らせたりと値段を上乗せした割には、VIPコースをわざわざ選択する必要は無いかと思いました。また、これは分かっていた事ですが、VIPコースのみ貰える生花のレイも結局日本には持って帰れないので、VIPコースで楽しみにしてた分ガッカリでした。

The weather was nice and the scenery was amazing. I thought we would be able to run around more freely, but we had to ride in a line. Since there were two couples sharing one vehicle, it would have been better to split the reservations and have one vehicle for each couple. The dust at the back of the line was intense, so wearing clothes that can get dirty is a must. The distance we traveled was sufficient.

天気も良く景色は最高でした。もっと自由に走り回れるのかと思っていましたが、隊列を組んでの走行でした。二人カップル二組で一台だったので、申し込みを分けて二人で一台にすれば良かったです。隊列の後ろの方は砂ぼこりが凄いので、汚れて良い服装は必須ですね。走行距離は充分でした。

Snorkeling and scuba diving can be quite challenging, so I participated in a submarine tour where I could easily see the fish underwater. The water was very clear, and I could see the fish gathering around the reefs well. It was a highly satisfying tour.

シュノーケリングやスキューバダイビングはハードルが高いので、気軽に海中の魚を見ることができる潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。海水の透明度が高く漁礁に集まる魚が良く見え、満足感の高いツアーでした。

My guests from Japan and I had a great time! Our tour guide was so funny & knowledgeable. Weather and the views of the windward side of Oahu were beautiful! A visit to Kualoa Ranch is a must when visiting Hawai’i.

Great experience family 1st time snorkeling guide funny and made you feel comfortable in the water

what a better way to end an early early am hike then with a delicious sweet treat! best tour pairing ever

Easy to book, so nice they have the pick up / drop off so you can enjoy your evening safely!

The pineapple farm was a must see for us so it was great and easy to include this alongside a tour of the island!

Avoid the lines and get them ahead, so easy and they make sure you got the QR code!

The champagne toast was so fun for an anniversary evening, we loved our night!

The crowds dont lie! Our family loved this experience as you get the ATV thrill alongside the experience of the ranch!

Great evenings, lots of laughter and fun learning experiences in the beginning that was a fun way to start the luau!

perfect pair after a relaxing pool day, delish cuisine and lots of fun happening on board!

Really awesome experience, the workers give it their all!

Family really appreciated to get to see the PH as it is a once in a lifetime you get to!

My family loved an easy way to get away from the city for a day with a great guide!

The experience was awesome! We got to learn and experience a lot of what the native Polynesian cultures were like. Many of the staff are actually university students who help fund most of their education through working here so that is nice to know.

The Buffet was the biggest Buffet hall and selection that I have ever seen- there was live music too and it was all just beautiful. The food was really good too!

The Fire Dance show was just an amazing performance. All the people responsible for making this were so skilled. It looked like everyone was having a great time.

It was possible to apply on the day, and I was looking for something that was quick and reasonably priced. We were the only Japanese people there, which made us a bit anxious, but it turned out to be a fun time! I was really happy to see the dolphins up close!

当日の申込みでも可能で、短時間、価格も手頃なものを探していました。
日本人は、私たちだけで、少し不安もありましたが、楽しいひとときどした！
そして、本当にイルカを間近で見ることができて嬉しかったです！

We were The only ones signed up to Haleiwa and they still ran the shuttle. Felt bad for the driver but they held the commitment of our transportation. Driver picked us up on time in both directions and it was a comfortable ride

This was my first luau. Although not a traditional luau that one would see on a beach, this one was fantastic. The food was delicious with plenty to choose from, the staff was courteous and helpful, and the show incorporated traditional song and dance along with "Elvis" and "Michael Jackson"...all were so very talented! The seating in the theatre was comfortable, and the location was easy to get to. I highly recommend!

It was a great tour early in the morning, so it wasn't hot at all. There were light snacks on the boat, and the spam onigiri was really delicious. The captain stayed close to me since I can't swim, which made me feel safe while I got to see beautiful fish and sea turtles! It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I participated!

朝早いツアーだったので暑くなくて最高でした。船の中には軽食もあってその中のスパムおにぎりがすごく美味しかった。泳げない私に、キャプテンが横に着いて泳いでくれてました！安心して綺麗な魚、ウミガメを見る事ができ感動しました！とても楽しかったです、参加してよかったです！

The ride and the guides were great. The land has amazing views that our pictures don’t do it justice. Only thing that we either missed or wasn’t made aware to us was that if you have the last ride booked, you must shop at the gift store before hand. We were going to wait so items didn’t get dirty. The store was closed when we returned and we could not buy souvenirs as we planned to. It also rained during our ride (part of the experience - still had a great time) and we (13 people in my family in our group that day) probably would have all bought dry shirts/sweatshirts for the Uber ride back to our hotel. They do tell you to bring a change of clothes but we planned on buying shirts. Also, you can’t order online and pay to ship any souvenirs which we would have done if available.

What an incredible ranch!
We were picked up from Waikiki and taken in to Kualoa Ranch - this was great because we wouldn't have been able to do the tour otherwise.
The site of the ranch is incredible. Breath taking! Stunning mountains on one side, blue ocean on the other.
We were met off the bus and given all the info we'd need.
Our 'Jungle Expedition' tour guide was fantastic.
He gave us lots of information, picked some Mountain Apples along the way and generally added to the experience.

If we'd have had more time we would definitely have booked another tour.
