All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Loved the hole experience and the captain made it even better he went above and beyond to make this day great! He was very helpful the hole time very funny and explained everything very well.

The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy ourselves! The staff was cheerful and really got everyone excited. However, there was one area that we couldn't do, and since there were first-timers, it was a bit disappointing that there wasn't the latest explanation provided.

天気にも恵まれて楽しむことが出来ました！
スタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれました。
1箇所出来ないところがあったこと、初めてやる人がいたのですが最新の説明が無かったのが少し残念でした。

Loved the tour guides. The water was abnormally choppy on my trip, I wish I had taken Dramamine. The snacks were well suited for the tour. The boat is great and overall really cool. I brought a 4 and 1 year old. We saw at least 4 sea turtles and they showed us star fish. I will go again.

I enjoyed an exhilarating buggy ride while taking in the magnificent scenery and feeling the pleasant breeze! We stopped several times at photo spots, so I was able to take plenty of pictures. The staff were very kind; I got stung by a bee during the ride, but they brought me first aid and ointment, which was a huge help.

They provide bandanas to cover your face, but since the dust is intense while driving, it's definitely a good idea to have sunglasses! Your face will get really dirty, so I recommend bringing a towel or handkerchief. As for clothing, in addition to sun protection, it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty from the dust (it gets really dirty). I had so much fun that I want to book this again when I come back to Hawaii!

壮大な景色と心地よい風にあたりながら、スリル満点のバギーを楽しめました！
途中で何度かフォトスポットで停車するので写真もたくさん撮れます。
スタッフの方は大変親切で、途中で蜂に刺されてしまったのですが、応急処置と塗り薬を持ってきてくださり大変助かりました。

顔を覆うバンダナが配布されますが、運転中砂埃がすごいのでサングラスは絶対あったほうがいいです！顔もすごい汚れるのでタオルやハンカチは持っていくと良いと思います。
洋服についても日焼け対策はもちろん、砂埃で上下汚れてもいい服装がおすすめです（めっちゃ汚れます）
とっても楽しかったのでまたハワイに来たら予約したいです！！

It was a young male guide named Kai. Despite the fact that we could hardly speak any English, he kindly guided us using his smartphone and simple words. I could feel his spirit of wanting us to enjoy ourselves to the fullest, and it was a lot of fun.

カイさんという若い男性ガイドさんでした。
こちらが英語をほとんど話せないにもかかわらずスマホや簡単な単語で、丁寧にガイドしてくれました。精一杯楽しんでもらおうという精神が感じられてとても楽しかったです。

Although it rained and we had to stay indoors, the fire show and both the hula and Tahitian performances were really wonderful! It might be a good idea to line up early to secure good seats. The food was delicious as well. It was unfortunate that the drink pickup location was hard to find, and in the end, we ran out of time to get them.

雨で室内になりましたが、ファイヤーしょーもあり、フラもタヒチアンもとてもステキでした！
早めに並んでいいお席を確保するのがいいかもです
お料理もおいしくいただきました
ドリンクの受け取り場所がわかりづらく、結局もらう時間がなくなったのが残念でした

Delicious food and drinks!
The hula dance lesson was unique to the location and very memorable!
The Blue Hawaii cocktail was sweeter than I expected.
The show itself was exciting and amazing!!

美味しい料理、ドリンク！
フラダンスのレッスンも現地ならではでとても思い出に残りました！
カクテルのブルーハワイ思ったより甘かったです。
ショー自体も盛り上がって最高です！！

AMAZING experience!!!! AMAZING crews!!! THANK YOU!!!

Had a great time the crew was so friendly and helped to take pictures and even played volleyball with the group. The boat was very nice as well lots of seating and a restroom on it. Lunch was good burgers were tasty overall the only down fall was no cold water after the first like 15 min. So I would suggest bringing and insulated bottle thats filled. Would for sure recommend and do it again!

We had a great time at sandbar. We went with three small children and they had a great time despite not being interested in snorkeling/kayaking. One of the staff had a speed boat and took our family out for a cruise to look for sea turtles. We got to see a huge turtle swimming out in the ocean and it was definitely a highlight for our trip.

We participated as a couple in March, and the weather was great!

However, the seawater was a bit cold, so I wish we had a jacket to wear when we got out!

３月に夫婦で参加しましたが、天候もよく最高でした！

ただ、海水はやや冷たかったので、上がった際に着れるような上着が1枚あればと思います！

No one speaks Japanese.
I felt a bit left out.

The price is high, but the show was great!!
The food was mediocre.
I get the feeling that it's like this everywhere.

日本語できる人はいません。
おいてけぼりな感じではありたした。

値段はしますが
ショーはよかったです！！
料理は微妙でした。
どこもこんな感じかな、という感じがします。

We had a wonderful time everyone and everything made our time special love it

There was so much to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstrations and musical presentations. We learned how to make poi, husk coconuts, and weave palm fronds, among other things. The dinner buffet was the best ever, with so much variety in the wide range of menu items. The theater presentation “The Breath of Life” was outstanding! Kudos to all the young university students who work so hard to provide such a unique cultural experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming. This was our second visit (previous one was in 1986) and we were not disappointed. We would return again in a heartbeat!

The buggy experience at Kualoa Ranch on Oahu Island is truly a wild adventure! Breathtaking scenery, adrenaline-pumping rides, and unforgettable memories await you. It's an experience you absolutely must have!

オアフ島のクアロアランチでのバギー体験は、まさにワイルドな冒険！息をのむほどの景色、アドレナリン全開の走行、そして心に残る思い出が待っています。絶対に体験すべきです！

I experienced Hawaii for the first time. It was better than I expected. (Although we were grouped with other Japanese guests at the buffet, we had a nice interaction with young honeymooners, and the show was lively with American guests.) There’s no need to worry about rain.

初めてのハワイで体験しました。想像よりも期待以上に良かったです。（ビュッフェ席は日本人の席にグルーピングされましたがハネムーンの若い方々と適度に交流、ショーは米国の観客がかなりはしゃいでいた事も相乗交換）
雨の心配は不要です。

First of all, the waiter who attended us was very attentive and had just the right amount of brightness without being pushy. The dinner was delicious, and many people of all ages seemed to be quite full. When the fireworks started, everyone moved to the side to watch, and the boat tilted noticeably. But apparently, that's okay. The live performance was wonderful, and the MC singer was good too! For those on the Five Star, you go up to the fourth floor, but there was a smoking area outside on the same floor, which was appreciated by smokers who feel a bit out of place. Also... the inside of the boat is cold!!! Perhaps because Westerners tend to have a higher body temperature than Japanese people... if you're attending in a sleeveless, thin dress, it might get really chilly, so please be careful.

まず、ついてくれたウエイターの方はよく気がつくし、しつこくないくらいの明るさで丁度良かったです。
ディナーも美味しく老若男女割とお腹いっぱいになっていた方が多かったです。
花火が始まると皆さま一斉に花火側へ移動されるので、分かりやすいくらい船が傾いてました。笑
が、大丈夫だそうです。
生演奏も素敵でしたしMCの歌い手の方もgoodでした！
ファイブスターの方は四階へ上がりますが同フロアの外に喫煙所がありました。
肩身の狭い喫煙者には有り難かったです。
後…船内は寒いです！！！
欧米の方々は、日本人より体温が高めだからか…
ノースリ薄手のワンピで参加となると、めちゃくちゃ冷えるかもなのでお気を付けてください。

This is the second time that we Visit the range every time we do a different tour and they always exceeded our expectation. Our tour guy was awesome and every time we learn more history about the island. I definitely recommend

From start to finish the staff was all engaging and professional. They worked through any language barriers and got everyone set up for the cruise. The size of the boat and number of people on board was just right, intimate but still lively and fun. There was plenty of room onboard to move around and never felt crowded. The views were gorgeous throughout. When the water got a little choppy, the back of the boat was still calm. Just a great time made better by the crew, would definitely go again.

I participated with my six-year-old daughter. The guide was entirely in English, but before the tour, a Japanese coordinator explained everything thoroughly, so I had no worries about joining. The bus arrived right on time, which was reassuring.
During the tour, I felt like I enjoyed it more than my daughter, but there were some light hiking activities along the way, which made it an active and enjoyable experience. I thought that once my daughter is a bit older, I would like to participate in horseback riding and movie tours as well.
Both the outbound and return buses were clean and spacious, which was a great help. My child did not get motion sickness at all. There are no restrooms on the bus, so make sure to take care of that beforehand.

六歳の娘と参加しました。全て英語のガイドでしたが、ツアーに参加する前に日本人のコーディネーターさんが丁寧に説明してくれて、参加に不安はありませんでした。バスも時間丁度に来てくれ、安心しました。
ツアー自体は、娘より私のほうが楽しんでいる感はありましたが、途中で軽い山登りなどもあり、アクティブに楽しめました。もう少し娘が大きくなったら、乗馬や映画ツアーなどにも参加したいなぁと思いました。
行きも帰りもバスがきれいでゆったりしていたのが助かりました。子供も特に酔うことはありませんでした。トイレは車内にないので、しっかり済ませておきましょう。

The dock was easy to find. There was lively live music on board, making the journey enjoyable.
Since it wasn't low tide, we didn't get to see the magical sandbar, but we had plenty of fun with stand-up paddleboarding, boating, and snorkeling.
On the return trip, I felt a bit cold, but I had brought extra beach towels, which helped me stay warm.

船付き場は分かりやすい場所でした。船内では盛り上がるライブミュージックがあり、到着するまでも楽しめました。
引き潮ではなかったので、幻想的なサンドバーではありませんでしたが、supやボート、シュノーケリングで十分楽しめました。
帰りの船では寒さを感じたのですが、バスタオルを多めに持参してたので凌げました。

This was by far the best cruise excursion I have ever participated in, and I’ve done quite a few on Oahu.

Pickup was well organized and on time. The ride out to the boat was pleasant.
The crew in itself felt like family. They were the nicest people, very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Captain even jumped in the water with the kids and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Bbq lunch was great.
We saw manta rays and turtles that came right up to the boat,it was a really wonderful day and I can’t tell them thank you enough.
I will absolutely book this again next time we visit.

This is the second time I come here on this adventure. Great music, captain on boat is a super nice lady. My family loved the experience, the juice and donuts are a great add on to your experience.

Before COVID, whenever I came to Hawaii, I always made sure to have dinner with live music at the Kanikapila Grill. The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and fun. You get to enjoy a wonderful live performance, and there's nothing more to ask for. Even though they are very famous musicians, they stopped me on my way out, even from a distance, and gave me an aloha sign, which made me very happy. It turned out to be the best night in Hawaii. I will definitely go again!

コロナ前から、ハワイへ来た時は、必ずカニカピラグリルのライブ付のディナーへ来ます
ご飯も美味しいし、スタッフも気さくで楽しい
素敵なライブもみれて、言う事なし、です
とても、有名なミュージシャンの方たちなのに、帰り際に遠くだったのに、呼び止めてくれて、アロハサインとてもうれしかったです
最高のハワイの夜になりました
また、必ず行きますね

- It was great to be able to drive while enjoying the magnificent scenery.
- The guide's explanations were in English, and I couldn't understand them very well, but I think it would have been more enjoyable if I had.

・雄大な景色を見ながら、走ること（運転）ができ、とてもよかったす。
・ガイドの説明は英語で、あまり理解ができなかったのですが、理解できたらより楽しいと思いました。

As seen on TV, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied!!! I thought the locals in Hawaii would start late, so I aimed to arrive right at the entrance time, but there was already a huge line, and I regretted not arriving a bit earlier.

I think sitting in the front would have made it even more impressive.

The buffet had mostly delicious food, and I was very satisfied! The seating was shared. The gentleman who guided us to our seats seemed to take into account our preferences, so it would have been nice to speak English to get a better seat. I can't speak it, though...

I chose this place after seeing reviews of other luaus that mentioned language issues, but since the basic communication and announcements were in English, I thought it might have been better to look for a spot outdoors by the beach! The show itself was very satisfying!

テレビとかで見る通り、大迫力で大変満足でした！！！
ハワイの人はスタートも遅いだろうと、入場時間ちょうどを目掛けて行きましたが、すでに大行列で
もう少し早く並べばよかったかなと後悔。

前の席だともっと大迫力だったと思います。

ビュッフェもほとんどが美味しいものばかりで
大満足です！
席は相席でした。
席を案内するおじさんが、起点を聞かせてくれるので、英語を話せるといい席に案内してくれるような感じでした。
私は話せませんが。。。

他のルアウのレビューを見て英語の問題でこちらにしましたが、
基本は英語での会話とアナウンス、案内になるので
屋外のビーチのところなどで探してもよかったかなぁと思いました！
ショー自体は大満足でした！

I had planned to experience traditional Hawaiian dance on a dinner cruise, but upon learning that there was also a rock show in a different genre, I signed up for this tour as well.

During the 90-minute dinner, they performed Hawaiian music and showcased dances.

Later, in the rock show, singers dressed as Elvis and Michael Jackson performed, creating a lively atmosphere that left me very satisfied.

As someone in my 20s, I’m not from the generation of Elvis or Michael Jackson, so I didn’t know many of the songs, but I was overwhelmed by their vocal and expressive abilities and had a great time.

ハワイの伝統舞踊はディナークルーズで体験する予定だったので、別ジャンルのロックショーもあるとしり、こちらのツアーも申し込みました。

90分のディナーではハワイアンミュージックを弾き語りしてくれたり、踊りも披露して頂きました。

またその後のロックショーでは、エルビスやマイケルジャクソンに扮した歌手等が歌を披露し、大盛り上がりで大変満足でした。

私は20代なので、エルビスもマイケルジャクソンも世代ではないため、曲はそれほどわかりませんでしたが、歌唱力と表現力に圧倒され良い時間を過ごせました。

I had a great time snorkeling with two instructors in the beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay.

The sea was so stunning that I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time!

While joining a tour is certainly a good option for safety and peace of mind, if you are confident in your swimming skills and have checked the rules of Hanauma Bay in advance, I think considering longer tours or participating individually could be a good idea.

ハナウマ湾の綺麗な海で、お2人のインストラクターさんに指導していただき、とても楽しくシュノーケリングができました

あまりにも綺麗な海でしたので、もっと長時間シュノーケリングしたかった！というのも同時に思いました。

安全/安心を考慮するとツアー参加でもちろん良いと思いますが、泳ぎ・体力にも自信あり、ハナウマ湾のルールを事前に確認されている方であれば、長時間のツアーや個人での参加も視野に入れて良いかと思いました

We did snorkeling yesterday. Nick is very good. He is professional and very nice. The tour was exactly as prescribed. No boat ride required and it’s in lagoon which is perfect for my 9 year old son. He gets seasick easily. It’s perfect for beginners. I will definitely recommend.

There were only the two of us, a couple, among the Japanese people, and at first, we were quietly speaking English. The atmosphere was great from the beginning, and we started with a toast with Mai Tai. Before the sunset, we unexpectedly enjoyed whale watching, which made the experience even more exciting. The captain was very kind, allowing us to take photos together at the helm. During the final sunset, everyone got so carried away that they didn't care about anything else. Although I don't speak much English, a few people nearby reached out to us, and we were able to communicate and take pictures together, making it a very enjoyable time for both of us after a long while.

日本人は私たち夫婦の2人だけで、始めは英語が飛び交っておとなしくしていました。始めから雰囲気がよく、まずはマイタイで乾杯。サンセットの前に思いもよらないクジラウォッチングで、一段と盛り上がりました。写真も船長の操縦席で一緒に取らせてもらったりととても親切です。最後のサンセットのときは、盛り上がりすぎてみんなそんなのお構いなしでした。英語はあまり話せませんが、近くの何組かの人たちに声掛けしてもらい、コミニュケーションも取れ一緒に写メったりと久々に夫婦ともどもとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
