All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

We got no value but a bus greeting us to the town, you can do it in every other way and cheaper, including 3usd public bus. It even doesn't get you to the beach, so you will have to take de public bus to get to the beach either way

Everyone from the bus driver to the tour crew to the barge crew were fabulous!!! We saw sea turtles, snorkeled with the beautiful fish and went paddle boarding. What a great way to spend our day! Highly recommend!

The crew was so kind and professional. We had an amazing time snorkeling and seeing the fish/turtles! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

This was a fabulous tour. Johnny and Keely were great guides. This was a ton of fun, but be warned, you will get dirty and quite possibly a little wet. Highly recommend this activity.

Whenever I'm planning to join a tour, I always wonder if it'll be fun for the kids too. Even though it's a bit pricier, choosing the Friday luau in the courtyard by the lagoon was a great choice! Even if the kids got a bit bored halfway through, they could play on the grass for a bit. And the best part was it was free for kids under 4, which was super awesome! What made me even happier was the kids buffet corner, with kid-friendly foods like Tater tots, Teriyaki chicken, and meatballs etc. We made some fantastic family memories in Hawaii.

The show was a blast, featuring dances from the various Polynesian islands.
There were even a few fire dancers, which the kids absolutely loved.

We were bummed we couldn't see the final fireworks from our seats, but watching them up close from right in front of the hotel was an incredible experience. Totally satisfied!

The only participants from Japan were us, but the staff were very kind. I checked the precautions in a Japanese video. There was a hole in the seat I sat in, and my backside got wet (from water after washing the car), but I quickly forgot about that while riding through the magnificent scenery, covered in dust. My wife was busy taking photos and videos while we were riding, but she stopped at key points for explanations and commemorative photos. It was very dusty, and it was quite a hassle when we got back. But it was fun. The dining area is a bit cramped, so when the bus tours return, a lot of people gather and form a line to order. We had our meal early, so there was no one around. There’s a sign that says "Order Here" on the far right of the food service area, so you can order there, pay at the register, and just wait for the buzzer to go off when your order is ready. The burgers are huge, so for an elderly couple like us, sharing one is just about right. I recommend having a meal before starting, as your mouth will get dusty too. Enjoy!

日本人の参加者は私達だけでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切に対応してくれました。注意事項は日本語のビデオで確認しました。私の座ったシートに穴が開いていて、お尻が濡れてしまいましたが（洗車した後の水）、そんな事もすぐに忘れるくらい壮大な景色の中を埃まみれで走りました。妻は走りながら写真にビデオに忙しそうでしたが、要所要所で止まって説明と記念写真です。とにかく埃で、帰ってきたときは大変でした。でも楽しかったです。食堂が少し狭いので、バスのツアーが帰ってくるとたくさんの人が集中してオーダーの列が出来ます。私たちは早めの食事をとったので、誰もいなかったです。食事を提供している所の一番右にオーダーヒヤーと書いた看板があるので、そこでオーダーしてレジでお金を払い、出来上がるまでブルブルが鳴るのを待っていればOKです。バーガーがでかいので、私たちの様な老夫婦でしたら、1個を二人で分け合ってちょうど良いくらいです。スタート前の食事をお勧めします。口の中も埃だらけになるからです。楽しんでください。

Great time with family. Amazing show. Good drinks. Great service.

Onboard, Hawaiian music played like a live performance, making the journey enjoyable.

Once we arrived, we could freely play in the beautiful sea or take a break on the boat.

You can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling in the sea. There were also balls available for rent.
You can't wear shoes while paddleboarding or kayaking, but it might be good to have water shoes for snorkeling.

We were able to take turns using the paddleboards and kayaks.

船内はライブのようにハワイの音楽が流れていて、向かうまでも楽しかったです。

着いてからはとにかく綺麗な海で自由に遊んだり、船で休憩したり出来ます。

海ではサップやカヤック、シュノーケリングを楽しめます。ボールの貸し出しもありました。
サップやカヤックは靴の使用が出来ませんが、シュノーケリング時はマリンシューズがあるといいかと思います。

サップやカヤックは交代に使うことが出来ました。

I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time. The shuttle bus was comfortable, and once we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, the tour guide provided a thorough explanation in English.

The pre-ride video for the ATV was in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

As we set off, it felt like we had entered the world of a movie. We stopped at movie spots, and the tour guide took many photos in English.

There are restrooms, souvenir shops, and a café. If you want to take your time looking at souvenirs, I recommend allowing extra time for the bus schedule.

I wore clothes that could get dirty and brought a change of clothes to store in a locker. (Even if you cover your face, you can still get dirty. If women plan to go out afterward, it might be good to bring makeup remover for touch-ups.) I hope this is helpful!

クアロアランチに初めて行きました。
送迎バスも快適で、クアロアランチについてからもツアーガイドから丁寧に説明がありました。(英語)

四輪バギー乗車前映像の説明が日本語であり、わかりやすかったです。

いざ出発すると映画の世界に入ったようでした。
映画のスポットにも止まって、英語でのツアーガイド、写真をたくさん撮ってくれます。

トイレ、お土産屋、カフェもあります。
お土産をゆっくりみたい方はバスの時間に余裕が出るようにするといいと思います。

汚れてもいい服で行き、着替えを持って行きロッカーに預けました。(顔もカバーで覆っていても汚れます。女性はそのまま出かけるようであればクレンジング化粧直しまで持って行くと良いと思います。)
少しでも参考になると幸いです。

This was a really great package that the whole family enjoyed! Snorkelling was amazing and the banana boat was a blast. It was very comfortable that the boat stays docked so you can find shade, drinks, and any of the items you need throughout the time on the sandbar. Highly recommend!

It was the best entertainment where I could enjoy the live performances of global singers Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson!

The show began by reflecting on Hawaii's musical history, starting with ethnic music and hula dancing, gradually building the atmosphere in the venue. After that, the two entertainers mentioned above appeared, and the audience reached a peak of excitement. Of course, it was an impersonation, but the concert show felt so lifelike right in front of me that even I, usually quiet, became enthusiastic! As a Michael Jackson fan, it felt like I was seeing Michael, who can now only be experienced through live DVDs, right in front of me.

There was also a fire dance, making it a content-rich experience to enjoy Hawaiian culture.

I signed up for a buffet plan before the show opened, and the food was delicious, making it a very satisfying experience.

世界的なシンガーであるエルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのライブを堪能することができる最高のエンターテイメントでした！

ハワイの音楽史を振り返るという形で、民族音楽とフラダンスから始まり次第に会場の雰囲気が高まっていきます。その後、上記２人のエンターティナーがそれぞれ登場し、オーディエンスが最高潮に達しました。もちろんモノマネではありますが、まるで生き写しのようなコンサートショーが目の前で行われ、思わず普段おとなしい私も熱狂！特にマイケル・ジャクソンファンの私としては、今やライブDVDでしかお目にかかれないマイケルが目の前にいるような感覚でした。

その他ファイアーダンスもあったりと、ハワイ文化も十分に楽しめる内容となっていました。

また私はショー開園前のビュッフェ付プランで申し込みましたが、食事も美味しく非常に満足のいく内容でした。

Everything from the snorkeling practice to the sea turtle watching and snorkeling around the coral was amazing. The burgers for lunch were also incredibly delicious! There was a Japanese interpreter, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries! I got to see sea turtles multiple times, and the coral was beautiful, but the fish swimming around were also really stunning! I would love to go again if I have the chance!

シュノーケリングの練習からウミガメウォッチングからサンゴの周りのシュノーケリング全て最高でした。
また昼食のバーガーも最高に美味しかったです‼️
日本語の通訳さんもおられたので安心して楽しめました‼️
ウミガメが何回もみれてサンゴも綺麗かったですが周りを泳いでる魚も凄く綺麗でした‼️
機会があればまた行きたいと思います‼️

Amazing and warm welcoming staff on every corner; the performances are top notch, we were entertained to a great FINALE show, Buffet Dinner was overwhelming!

We loved and enjoyed learning a lot of things about the Polynesian culture! All the performances were just by fat the best. I love the activities in each country that you can participate in, hands on and fun too!

My son is a typical “everything boring” esp by the wnd of the day, but as soon as the lights went off for the “HA” show he was mesmerized and totally enjoyed it.

We wanted to experience the LUAU dinner but I think we did not look through good enough with the package we bought. Buffet Dinner was not bad at all…just missed seeing a traditional lu’au

Next time!

Nice people, beautiful weather, and a great sunset!

It was a very nice tour, from the captain to the whole crew super nicely, I felt safety at all times, very explanatory the stops, rules and Safet. The food was delicious they gave us grill hamburgers they were super. I loved their
Hospitality they had the best attitude. They were very welcoming gave us recommendations and they even played with all of the us volleyball. Helped us take
Pictures I will do
This again

Great sunset tour. Team was warm and friendly. We were able to see many dolphins, offered to take photos and turned around so we could get better pictures of the sunset.

In the morning, they came to pick us up at the Hyatt Regency where we were staying in Waikiki. With transportation included to Haleiwa, we enjoyed a scenic flight in a Cessna, skydiving at our destination, and then paragliding after experiencing free fall—each was a wonderful experience! Considering all this, the cost performance was excellent, and I truly felt the roundness of the Earth. I personally handed a tip to the person who flew with us as a token of gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the life-risking job. I decided to travel to Hawaii because I wanted to skydive, and I will definitely come back again while I still have no age restrictions.

ワイキキに滞在中のハイアットリージェンシーまで朝、迎えにきてくださいました。ハレイワまでの送迎付きで、セスナでの遊覧飛行、目的のスカイダイビング、フリーフォール状態を満喫の後のパラセイリングでの空中遊泳、どれもこれも素敵な体験！
と考えるとコストパフォーマンスはばっちり地球が丸いと体感しました。
チップは一緒に飛んでくれた方に感謝を込めて直接お渡ししました。命掛けのお仕事に心より『ありがとう』。　スカイダイビングをしたくてハワイ旅行を決めましたが、年齢制限が自由なうちにまたリピします。

Participated in the PM session. Hotel pickup at 11:00.
I was hungry... feeling anxious...
Surprisingly, snacks and juice were free, and we got one spam onigiri each.
That was great!
Even though I've participated many times, I wish I had watched the tide come in and out.
The tide was close to high... I want to go during low tide next time.
I was able to walk with the turtles while paddleboarding and snorkeling.

PMに参加　　11時ホテルピックアップ　
お腹すいてた・・どーしよ不安・・・
なんとスナック/ジュースがフリー　　スパムおにぎり一人1個
良かった(^^♪
何度も参加してるのに潮の満ち引き見とけば良かった
満潮近し・・・次回は干潮時に行きたい
SUP・シュノーケリング　カメさんとお散歩できた

We participated as a couple to celebrate my 60th birthday. I felt secure participating in Japanese, and the experience exceeded my expectations in terms of satisfaction. Even though I'm not good at swimming, I had a great time fish watching in the water! It was a pity that we didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles).

還暦記念に夫婦で参加しました。日本語で安心して参加できて内容も思った以上の満足度でした。
泳ぎが苦手な私も楽しく水の中でフィッシュウォッチングできました！
ホヌに出会えなかったのは残念でした。

It was an incredibly fun experience racing around the wild course. I dashed through the dust kicked up by the buggy in front of me, getting covered in mud from head to toe, and that was enjoyable too.

ワイルドなコースを走り廻り想像以上の楽しい体験でした。前のバギーからの土埃の中を疾走し、頭から足まで泥まみれでこれも楽しかったです。

Will be doing this again next year for sure! Crew and the band were awesome

It was a bit murky in the afternoon, but I was able to see fish clearly at certain points, and although from a distance, I also saw a turtle, so I was satisfied. I didn't use the Japanese guide because I wasn't sure when to listen to it. However, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed fully without the staff guide or the Japanese guide if you love the ocean and fish.

午後からの出向で少し濁っていましたが、ポイントポイントではしっかりと魚を見ることができたし、遠目でしたが亀も見れたので満足です。
日本語ガイドは聴くタイミングがよくわからなかったので使いませんでした。
でも、海や魚が好きならスタッフのガイドも日本語ガイドも無くても十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。

I initially wanted to book this my first time in Hawaii back in 2021 but it was sold out. I decided to pre book before my trip this year. I am so glad I did. Me and my boyfriend had the best time. The views and history are just incredible. Our tour guides knew so much history and we were so amazed. The UTV was so much fun. You should DEFINITELY bring something to cover your face or you will be eating a lot of dirt. I would totally book this tour again. Totally worth it!

The friendly staff makes it easy for beginners to enjoy surfing right away, so you can feel at ease. After just 10 minutes of practice, we were able to try it in the ocean! Half of us were able to stand up on the first wave! The waves were great, and we participated in both private and group lessons with five people, and everyone was satisfied!

明るいスタッフで初心者でも楽しめるサーフィンが直ぐに出来るから安心です。
10分立つ練習したら海で実践！半数は1回目の波で立つことが出来ました！
波も良くで、5人でプライベートとグループレッスンと分かれて参加しましたが、全員満足出来ました！

There were many reviews recommending the buggy, so I decided to participate, and it was amazing! My wife, who is a paper driver, also drove, and she only almost veered into the bushes right after a downhill curve! She said it was really fun!! During the trip, we could switch drivers three times when we got out for photo opportunities, so if you're anxious about driving but want to try, I recommend starting from the beginning. Goggles and helmets are available for rent, but the dust from the buggy was intense, and my nose and mouth area turned completely black. Having a scarf or a snug mask like bikers use would make photo sessions smoother?! Still, it's better to have wet wipes as well. I read that someone mentioned it was cold when it rained, and we also had a sudden rain shower during our time, so you definitely get wet. If the weather looks bad, it might be a good idea to bring a poncho or raincoat from a dollar store.

バギーを勧めるレビューが多かったのでどんなものかと参加しましたが最高でした！
ペーパードライバーの妻も運転しましたが
下り坂直後のカーブで草むらに突込みかけただけですみました！とても楽しかったそうです！！
途中3回写真撮影で下車する時に交代出来るので
運転に不安があるけどしてみたい方はスタートからがお勧めです
ゴーグルとヘルメットは貸出ありですがバギーの土埃が凄く鼻口周りは真っ黒になりました
バイカーがするようなスカーフや密着するマスクがあると写真撮影もスムーズにできる⁈
それでもウエットティッシュもあった方がいいです
雨だと降り込んできて寒かったと書いてる方がいて、私たちの時もにわか雨がありましたが確かに濡れます
天気が悪そうなら100均などのポンチョやレインコートを持って行った方がいいかと

Every member of the staff was phenomenal. The live music was perfect, and they had a great (DJ style) song list that played while we were out on the water. It was convenient to be able to grab hot food or snacks and beverages at the dock. There was plenty of room on the boat and we didn't feel overcrowded. The one thing I would improve is the size of the activity area. I specifically signed up to kayak, and found that the only option was to just row in a big circle (the area was identified by bouyies). My friend also snorkeled, but there wasn't much to see at that time of day. I think the best part of the trip was when one of the staff members offered to take a few of us out on a small speed boat around the reef. We found that it was affordable and convenient to pay extra for pick-up and drop off.

This tour was our 2nd time going and each time we find it amazing. Learned a little more of Hawaii. John our driver was very professional, accommodating knew much information of Hawaii. What we liked about the whole tour it was a small group.

I loved it, if you don't mind getting alittle dirty and riding an ATV around a beautiful farm along the ocean! I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around. The only thing I wished was to be able to do some donuts in the mud highly recommend!

First, to mention the positives, there were a lot of sea turtles during snorkeling, and I was able to take many photos and see them, so I was satisfied with that.

On the downside, I didn't think the sandbar was beautiful at all. The sandbar at Barasu Island in Okinawa (an island made of coral remains in the middle of the sea) was much more impressive. After all, the sea in Okinawa is much prettier.

Also, due to the weak yen, it felt very expensive for what it was...

まず、良かった点からいえば、シュノーケリング時にウミガメがたくさんいて、たくさん写真が撮れたり、見れたのでそこは満足。
がっかりだった点は、サンドバーが全然キレイとは思えなかった。沖縄のバラス島(サンゴの死骸でできた海の中心にある、サンドバーのような島)の方が何倍も感動した。やっぱり海は沖縄のほうがキレイ。
円安のせいもあり、すごーく高かったわりには、、、という感じ。

It was very beautiful. There weren't too many people, so it felt relaxing. The sea was incredibly clear, and the waves were calm. I put on my goggles and had fun snorkeling.

とても綺麗でした。人も余り多くなくゆっくりしている感じです。海がとにかく綺麗で波も穏やかでした。ゴーグルを付けて潜って遊びました。
