All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Outstanding! A great crew, wonderful vibe and energy. We loved seeing the fireworks from the Catamaran. Would highly recommend!

You can take a two-hour tour around Kualoa Ranch in a five-seater vehicle called the Raptor. At each stop, you can switch drivers. Driving for two hours is quite hard, so it was a good decision to switch. The magnificent scenery is wonderful, and I want the driver to enjoy it too. There’s plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience. Your upper body will get quite dirty, so it's best to wear a dark-colored T-shirt or something that you don’t mind getting dirty. It’s also good to have a change of clothes and a towel to wash your face. You can have lunch at the ranch, and the burgers are delicious. I had a fulfilling day and am really satisfied!

ラプターという5人乗りの自動車でクアロアランチ内をぐるりと2時間かけて周ります。それぞれポイントで止まる度に運転手は交替できます。2時間の運転はまぁまぁハードなので交替して正解でした。壮大な景色が素晴らしいので、運転手も見て欲しい。時間がたっぷりあって、まだある！？というほど堪能できます。靴より上半身が真っ黒になるので、Tシャツなどは色が暗いもの、汚れてもいいものがベストです。着替えや顔を洗うタオルもあるといいです。ランチ内で昼ごはんも食べられてバーガーなど美味しいです。充実した1日が過ごせて本当に満足です！

The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!

The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.

更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分！
アトラクションはどれも怖すぎず、小学生でもいける。
思っていたより広くなく、回りやすい。
空いてるいたので何度も乗ることができ、子どもたちはグループで回っている子が多く楽しそうだった。

My friends and i had a great time. staff was nice.

I enjoyed this tour a lot! My partner and I switched several times when it came to driving and it was very fun. An amazing experience, the views were fantastic, our tour guide was informative AND the tour guide took great pictures for us! It rained a bit when we went but that didn’t ruin the experience. It can definitely get muddy and cold, so be prepared and check the weather beforehand!!

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

We had a great time. The crew was fun and took good care of us.

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

I signed up for a horseback riding experience.

The horses were adorable, the scenery was beautiful, and it was so much fun!!

The horses were very smart and gentle, so I felt no anxiety while riding.

I was told their names, so I tried calling them out a lot ^_^

We took photos with the ocean in the background, which became great memories.

Also, the driver who accompanied us on the tour shared a lot of knowledge about Hawaii while we were in the car, which was really educational.

He talked about the Hawaiian language, Hawaiian plants, recent tourism trends in Hawaii, and the labor shortage, among other things. It was interesting since I don't often have the opportunity to learn about these topics.

For lunch, I wanted to go to Giovanni's for garlic shrimp, but I was taken to a different restaurant. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to try Giovanni's. Since the horseback riding took a bit longer, we had less time to eat and had to rush.

I think we only had about 30 minutes to explore Haleiwa Town.

However, I was very satisfied with the day because the horseback riding was so enjoyable.

乗馬体験がしたくて申し込みました。

馬が可愛くて、景色も良くて、とーっても楽しかったです！！

馬はとても賢くおとなしく、
乗っていても不安はなかったです。

名前を教えてもらったので、たくさん呼びかけてみました^_^

海を背景に写真も撮ってくれていい思い出となりました。

またツアーについてくれたドライバーさんが、
車の中でハワイの知識を沢山教えてくれてすごく勉強になりました。

ハワイ語についてや、ハワイの植物、最近のハワイ観光事情や、人手不足のことなど、、
なかなか知る機会がないので面白かったです。

お昼に食べたガーリックシュリンプはジョバンニに行きたかったのですが違うお店に連れてってもらいました。ジョバンニを食べてみたかったのでちょっと残念。乗馬も少し時間がおしたせいか、食べる時間が少なく大急ぎで食べました。

ハレイワタウン散策も３０分くらいしかなかったと思います。

ただ乗馬がとても楽しかったので満足な1日でした。

Although the weather may impact your experience on this cruise, the crew doesn't let it get in the way of making it fun! The music blastic, if the rain is pouring they will make sure the boat feels the waves so that everyone can groove!

Everyone loved the ride and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu from way past the swimming point of the shore! The crew is entertaining and fun!

The weather was windy and the sea was cold, which was disappointing, but overall it was a good day.

It's a free plan where you can set your own schedule. I think it's a good idea to think about the places you want to visit in advance.

We first rented bicycles and snorkeling gear, and then headed to Lanikai Beach. It took about 10 minutes by bike.

They also told us the best spots for snorkeling, and we quickly jumped into the water. We borrowed life jackets, so even though it was windy, we were able to float and see underwater. I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish swimming in the shallow water—I didn't expect to see that much! It was cold, so we got out quickly, but I want to try again on a hot day.

For lunch, we had the pizza included in the plan. It was very large and satisfying.

In the afternoon, we went to Kailua Town, but since I hadn't done much research on the shops and didn't have many places I wanted to visit, we just wandered around and ended up not doing much.

If the weather had been better, I would have loved to enjoy the sea more...

I want to try again.

天気が風強く、海も寒かったのが残念でしたが、
総じて良い一日となりました。

自身で予定を立てるフリーのプランです。
事前に行きたいところを考えておくといいと思います。

私たちはまず
自転車・シュノーケリングの道具をレンタルし、
ラニカイビーチまで行きました。
自転車では10分程で着きました。

シュノーケリングしやすい箇所も教えてもらい、
すぐに海に潜りました。
ライフジャケットも借りたので、風が強かったですが、ぷかぷか浮きながら海中を見ることができました。
浅瀬でもいろいろな種類の魚が泳いでいて
こんなに見れると思わなかったのでびっくりでした！
寒くてすぐ上がってしまいましたが、またいつか暑い日にリベンジしたいです、、

お昼はプランについているピザを食べました。
とても大きくて満足です。

午後はカイルアタウンに出向きましたが、あまりお店の下調べをしておらず、行きたいところもそこまでなかったのでぷらぷらして終わりました。

天気が良ければもっと海を満喫したかったです…

またリベンジしたいです。

The female performer kindly escorted us, and my 2-year-old child had a great time. By the end, my child had become attached and seemed sad to say goodbye. The backstage tour was fascinating, and it was interesting to see how the props used in the hula dance show were prepared. The food was delicious, and since we had great seats for the show, we really enjoyed it. It's a show that makes you think, "Hawaii is fun!" so I would recommend this tour for beginners in Hawaii.

出演者の女性が優しくエスコートしてくださり、2歳の子どもも、とても楽しんでいました。最後には懐いて、別れるのが寂しそうなくらいでした。バックステージツアーは興味深く、その後のフラダンスショーで使われる小道具など、こんなふうになってるんだとわかって面白かったです。食事も美味しく、ショーは席の良い位置だったため、とても楽しめました。ハワイ楽しい！と思えるショーなので、ハワイ初心者にはお勧めしたいツアーです。

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

It was my second time, and I had a great time. I was a bit concerned about the price being on the higher side. The sea was beautiful, and the crew was very kind to us.

2回目でしたが、楽しかったです。
ちょっと値段がお高いのが気になりました。
海は綺麗だし、クルーの方が優しくしてくださいました。

We participated as a group of eight, including three small children, and the staff were very kind and accommodating to the kids. On the day of our visit, the water level was low, but both adults and children had plenty of fun snorkeling and with the Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). We also got to see sea turtles up close, which made the kids very happy—it was the best experience!

小さな子ども3人を含む８名での参加でしたが、スタッフが子供にも優しく対応して頂きました。当日腰下位の水位が有りましたが、シュノーケリングやSAPで大人も充分楽しめました。またホヌも近くで見られて子供も喜び最高でした。

During my daughter's high school graduation trip to Hawaii, we arranged for her to experience flying a Cessna. The weather was perfect, with clear skies, making it an ideal day for flying. For the pickup location, we communicated in advance that the main lobby of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort Hotel would be crowded, so they designated the quieter car drop-off area at the Kalia Tower, which had benches. This turned out to be a great choice, as the main lobby was extremely busy, and it was uncertain whether we would meet the pickup person there.

After about a 30-minute drive from the hotel, we arrived at the office adjacent to the airport. After a brief explanation of the basic flying techniques, we met the pilot and the Cessna.

Once we took off in the Cessna, we had a stunning view of the hotels in Waikiki from above. Near Diamond Head, I let my daughter take over the controls. From the Cessna, it was clear that Diamond Head is a caldera.

As we flew further away from the land, the beautiful blue ocean spread out beneath us, and we even spotted some whales. After a while, we flew over the filming location of Jurassic Park. From above, it really felt like a T-Rex could be lurking around.

The conversation with the pilot was in English, but he actively engaged with us with a smile, helping to ease our nerves. The 60 minutes flew by, but it was an emotional experience. My daughter was very satisfied with it.

When we returned to the office, there were plenty of fresh juices and snacks prepared for us. During the ride back to the hotel, we had a Japanese driver and assistant who engaged us in various conversations, making the 30-minute travel time feel much shorter.

　娘の高校の卒業旅行で行ったハワイで、セスナの操縦体験をさせました。
　当日は快晴で、絶好の飛行日和。ピックアップ場所は、事前のやり取りで、宿泊していたヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ・ビーチリゾート・ホテルのメインロビーは混雑するからと、空いていて、ベンチもあるカリアタワーの車寄せを指定してくれました。これが当たりで、メインロビーは、すごい混雑で、ピックアップ担当者と出会えるか分からないほどでした。
　ホテルから３０分ほどで、空港に隣接する事務所に到着します。簡単な操縦方法などの説明を受けたら、パイロットやセスナとご対面です。
　セスナで、ハワイ上空に飛び立つと、ワイキキのホテル群が一望できます。
　ダイヤモンドヘッドのあたりで、操縦を娘に代わります。セスナから見ると、ダイヤモンドヘッドがカルデラであることが、よく分かります。
　また、陸から離れると、眼下には青く綺麗な海が広がり、クジラも確認できました。
　しばらく飛ぶと、ジュラシック・パークのロケ現場を飛びます。上空から見ると、本当にＴREXがいそうな雰囲気でした。
　パイロットとの会話は英語ですが、笑顔で積極的に話しかけてくれて、緊張をほぐしてくれました。
　６０分の素敵な時間は、あっという間でしたが、感動的な時間でした。娘も大変満足していました。
　事務所に帰ると、新鮮なジュースとお菓子がたくさん用意されていました。
　ホテルへの送迎の車内も、日本人のドライバーとアシスタントが乗車していて、いろいろな話しで盛り上がり、移動時間の３０分を感じさせません。

I had such an amazing time. Not only was the sandbar and the bay gorgeous, the crew were so incredibly kind, friendly and helpful!

Driving with a left-hand drive was thrilling, but there were videos with explanations in Japanese, which made me feel at ease✨ The local staff were friendly and fun, and there were photo spots along the way. Driving the buggy through the great outdoors was enjoyable. I rode with my parents in their 70s and my 7-year-old child, and we had a great time on the bumpy roads.

左ハンドルの運転でドキドキでしたが、日本語説明の映像もあり、安心✨
現地スタッフが親切で楽しく、所々写真スポットもあって、バギー運転も大自然を駆け巡り楽しいです。70代両親と子ども7歳と一緒に乗り、デコボコ道やかなり楽しんでました

I tried surfing for the first time this time. I'm almost 50 years old and usually don't exercise much, so I was worried, but I chose a group lesson. First, we watched a video with various precautions at the shop. Then we walked to the beach, where I practiced the basic movements repeatedly with the instructor, Mr. Yamazaki. During about an hour, I was able to ride the waves 7 to 8 times while learning the tips and timing for paddling. At first, my waist was too high, and I couldn't ride the waves for long, but I received advice to stand up slowly without rushing, which allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. I requested a drone video and photos during check-in (for $65 plus tax), and I was quite satisfied with the content, which was also well-received by my family.

今回初めてサーフィンにチャレンジしてみました。もうすぐ50歳で普段は運動不足気味なので心配でしたが、グループレッスンを選択。最初にショップで諸注意を含めたビデオを鑑賞。続いてビーチに徒歩で移動して、インストラクターのYamazakiさんと繰り返し基本動作を練習し、パドリングのコツやタイミングを教えてもらいながら約1時間の間に7〜8回波に乗れました。最初腰の位置が高くなり過ぎて、波に長く乗れずでしたが、焦らずゆっくり立ち上がるようにアドバイスをもらい、じっくり楽しめました。チェックインの際にドローン撮影ビデオ・写真（65ドルプラス税）を依頼しましたが、かなり満足できる内容で、家族にも好評でした。

It was a tour that successfully crossed Hanauma Bay while navigating around the reef during low tide in the morning. Unfortunately, the turtles couldn't come into view because the tide was too low. Instead, we were able to see many fish. We started after listening to Dan's easy-to-understand explanations. There was appropriate support for the children, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling while taking in the scenery.

午前中に最干潮が重なっていてリーフを迂回しながらうまくハナウマ湾を横断しながらのツアーでした。残念ながらカメは潮が低すぎるので、見える場所には入ってこれないそう。かわりに沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。ダンさんの分かりやすい説明を聞いてからスタート。子供たちには適宜サポートがあり、自分も景色を楽しみながらのスノーケルができました。

I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.

ロックアフラに参加出来てとても感激です。
最初のディナーは、ハワイローカルの美味しい料理を味わう事が出来て、良い体験でした。
また、ウクレレの生演奏やフラダンスも楽しめました。ショーの方は、多様な歌や踊り、楽器演奏があり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。どの演目も迫力があり、プロフェッショナルのエンターテイメントに体全体が震えました。こんなに素敵なショーが見れたことに感謝しています。ディナーのサーバーのおもてなしも大変素晴らしかったです。
このような素晴らしい機会を与えて頂いた事に感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

In the green room, I enjoyed champagne and snacks. The snacks were a delightful variety, including ham, salami, cheese, and olives.
The backstage tour was entirely in English, so I thought it would have been more enjoyable if there had been something like a Japanese brochure.
The buffet on the outdoor terrace was fantastic, with the dancers' performances and the singing of a woman playing the ukulele.
The food was delicious, but I ran out of time and couldn't make it to the complimentary drinks or the buffet desserts.
Overall, I felt very satisfied and enjoyed the atmosphere of Hawaii. It’s worth the money to go! I highly recommend it!

グリーンルームではシャンパンとおつまみを楽しめました。おつまみはハム、サラミ、チーズ、オリーブなど種類豊富で嬉しかったです。
バックステージツアーは説明が全て英語のため、日本語パンフレットのようなものがあればより楽しめるのになと思いました。
屋外テラスでのブッフェはダンサーさん達のダンスと、ウクレレを弾く女性の方の歌が最高でした。
お料理も美味しかったでしたが、時間が足らず特典のドリンクと、ブッフェのデザートまで辿り着きませんでした。
総じて満足感が高く、ハワイの雰囲気を楽しめました。お金を払って行く価値ありです！おすすめです！

I was able to see not only dolphins and sea turtles but also whales up close, which was a valuable experience. The crew members were all very friendly, and I truly had a great time.

When the sun was blocked by clouds, it felt quite chilly, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a light jacket. Also, since the boat swayed quite a bit, I recommend being well-prepared with motion sickness remedies to enjoy the experience fully.

イルカやウミガメの他に、クジラも生で見ることが出来て、貴重な経験が出来ました。
クルーの方々も気さくな方ばかりで、本当に楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。

雲で陽が遮られると結構肌寒く感じたので、羽織物を準備しておいたほうがいいと思います。
また船の揺れが結構大きいので酔い止め対策はしっかりと準備したほうが楽しめると思います。

I participated with my 15-year-old and 12-year-old children. I was really looking forward to it and even changed our schedule after checking the business hours, but we were told that Kimo's was closed. We were directed to a nearby pancake place, but we had to go there on our own. Some lunch spots were also closed, and for lunch, we had to go and pick it up ourselves. Unfortunately, the pizza was just average. Other than the round-trip shuttle, we had to handle everything ourselves. Since the option for Kimo's was no longer available, we rented bikes, but riding right next to cars with rude drivers was particularly dangerous, especially with the kids.

15歳と12歳の子供と参加しました。一番楽しみにして、営業時間を確認して日程を変更したのにキモズが休みと言われ、近くのパンケーキを案内されたものの、各自で行ってくださいとのこと。ランチも空いてない店があり、そして、そのランチも各自で行ってピックアップということ。ピザも残念ながら普通。
往復シャトル以外は全て自分たちでどうぞということです。
オプションのキモズが無しになったのでレンタルバイクしましたが、車が走ってる真横、マナーのないドライバーの横を走るのは、特に子供とは危険でした。

A landscape experience that you can't enjoy in Japan! The instructor was also entertaining, and he took photos for us when we handed him the camera!

日本では味わえない風景体験！
インストラクターのお兄さんも楽しませてくれましたし、カメラを渡せば写真も撮ってもらえました！

great people great music, good vibes, a bit pricey but worth it. recommend

Since it was a tour just for transportation, I participated in a tour without Japanese language support. There were no issues as a result. I was able to return around noon, so I had a meaningful day!

送迎だけのツアーなので日本語なしのツアーに参加しました。結果問題なしです。
昼ぐらいには帰ってこれますので一日有意義に過ごせました！

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

I went for the first time and was very satisfied!
The guide spoke Japanese, so I felt very secure participating in the tour!
There were many types of slides, and the kids were delighted!

初めて行ってきまし、とても満足しました！
案内の方が日本語が話せるので、とても安心してツアーに参加する事が出来ました！
スライダーの種類も沢山あり、子供達も喜んでいました！

Wonderful place to visit. Loved learning and hearing the different Polynesian cultures, the live interaction for each islands. The buffet was awesome and the breath of life show was exceptional, I would definitely visit again.
