All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

You can see stunning views of the sea and mountains. Riding a horse can be challenging until you get used to it, but this breathtaking scenery is something you can't see anywhere else. The horses are smart, and the female staff were kind as well. It's okay if your English isn't perfect.

海と山の絶景が見れます。馬に乗るので慣れるまで大変だけど、この絶景はここじゃなと見れないかな。馬はお利口です。スタッフの女性も優しかったですよ。英語はそこそこでも大丈夫で

This was my third time participating, and depending on the timing and the people going, the condition of the sandbar varied, which made it enjoyable. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles 🐢. During our free time, I had fun doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The snacks, spam musubi, and drinks on the boat were plentiful. It was a tour that went by in the blink of an eye. The female staff were all lively and wonderful.

3度目の参加　行く人時期時間によりサンドバーの状態違い楽しめた
海亀🐢たくさん見れた
自由時間　SUPもできて楽しかった
船でのスパムむすび　スナック　飲物充実　あっという間のツアーでした
スタッフ女性で皆さんイキイキ素敵でした

We were so disappointed with our Sunset Dinner Cruise this week.
Why oh why, when a company has it just right, do they get greedy and take away the finesse?
Having taken the steak & lobster package last year, we were so looking forward to repeating the experience - but it failed to live up to expectations.
The singer couldn't sing; we had to queue for our starter (only lettuce plated at the table; the lobster was not prepared, we were provided with lobster crackers and a pick (not what we were expecting, dressed in our best clothes); there was no finger bowl or wet wipe; our steaks were cold and the server came so infrequently we did not get to use two of our drinks vouchers.
Shame on you.

During the meal, there was a live ukulele performance that took requests, and there were also plenty of activities like hula and hula lessons, making it a truly enjoyable time. The food was even more delicious than I had imagined. On stage, I was able to see hula and Tahitian dance, and the performers who looked so much like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson brought back nostalgic memories. Despite being sleepy from jet lag, I was treated to an amazing performance. I definitely want to come back and see it again next time. Thank you very much!

食事の時ウクレレ生演奏でリクエストにも応えて頂き、またフラやフラレッスンなど盛りだくさんで本当に楽しいひと時でした。
ご飯も想像以上に美味しかったです。
ステージではフラやタヒチアンダンスも見れたしエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンがすごーく似てたし曲やダンスも懐かしいし時差ぼけで眠かったにも関わらず最高のパフォーマンスを見せていただきました。
また来た時には絶対見に来たいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!

アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました！とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました！

I’ve been on various snorkeling tour options before, but this one was quite disappointing for the price. There was no thorough explanation, just “do as you like.” The cold weather was unavoidable, but everyone felt cold on the boat. In the end, they managed to serve us tea, but it was too late; many were already shivering. I wish they would consider the situation a bit more at those moments.

今まで色々のシュノーケルのオプションツアー行ったけど結構値段の割には残念
好きなようにって全然丁寧な説明なしで
寒かったのは天候で仕方なかったけど船の中でみんな寒いって感じで最後なんとかお茶出してくれたけど遅い結構みんな震えてたもう少しその時その時考えてほしい

We were able to relax and enjoy the show from a very good seat with our family. We were also satisfied because we could see the fireworks perfectly. The food was quite tasty as well.

とても見やすい席で家族でゆっくり観ることができました。
花火もばっちり見れて満足です。
ご飯もそれなりに美味しかったです。

We had a great time on the movie tour and delicious lunch and a beautiful catamaran ride seeing some turtles

The arrival bus came on time, and there were Japanese staff who provided a thorough explanation upon arrival. After that, the communication was in English, and while there were some things I didn't understand, I never felt completely lost or troubled. It was great that we could watch a video explanation on the bus, which minimized any downtime after arriving.

On the day of the trip, it was colder than I expected, so I couldn't snorkel for a long time. However, I was very grateful that they were flexible and accommodated a sudden change in the return bus schedule when I negotiated it on the spot.

I brought my own snorkeling set, but for those who don't have one, rentals are available on-site. The bus was easily recognizable with the company's logo, which was also a nice touch!

到着のバスも時間内に来てくれて、到着時には日本人がいて丁寧に説明してくれました。
その他は英語対応となり、分からないこともありましたが分からなくてどうしようもなく困ることはありませんでした。
バス内で説明のVTRも見れて到着してからのロスタイムもなくよかったです。
当日は思ったより寒く、長い時間シュノーケリング出来なかったのですが、急な帰りのバスの時間変更にもその場で交渉したら応じてくれて柔軟に対応してもらえて大変ありがたかったです。
シュノーケルのセットは持参しました。持っていない方は現地でもレンタルがあるので借りることは可能です。
バスは会社のロゴの描かれたバスなのでとても分かりやすいのも良かったです！

The strength, delicacy, and captivating beauty of the human body... the story enhanced by the visuals... it was an impressive stage performance. Not only was the thrilling performance enjoyable, but I also learned about Hawaiian traditional culture and laughed at the comedic skits, losing track of time while having fun.

強靭で、繊細で、魅入ってしまう人体の美しさ…映像が盛り上げるストーリー性…圧巻のステージでした。スリリングなパフォーマンスはもちろん、ハワイの伝統文化を学んだり、コミカルな小芝居に笑ったりしながら、時間の経つのを忘れて楽しめました。

Booking was easy and quick!
The buses are sumptuously comfortable,
making every moment feel like a dream come
true. We were greeted with a warm Aloha and
picked up promptly, setting the tone for a day
filled with wonder. As we settled into our seats
we were treated to the informative Hanauma
Bay video, which only added to the excitement
building within us. What a blessing it was to
bypass the long lines and simply step off the
bus and onto the free tram, which whisked us
away to a stunning beach paradise! Our
departure was just as seamless, with a timely
pickup that left us beaming with delight. lt's
clear that Roberts Tours has perfected the art
of transportation, and we cannot wait to
embark on our next adventure with them!

We purchased two tickets, after reaching were asked to pay for some mandatory fees for the face mask for 8$ each. So just be aware of that extra cost. Also, I would not recommend purchasing Pictures options for 40$ as it’s waste of money and they don’t take that good images. You will have ample opportunity to take your own pictures , so no need to waste those 49$ for poor quality images.

It depends on the driver, but there are many wonderful drivers. They explain famous spots in broken Japanese and play Japanese songs to entertain us. If I had to say something, I would like them to increase the number of trips on the East Coast course since it's popular. But I definitely want to use this service again.

ドライバーさんにもよりますが、とっても素敵なドライバーさんが多いです。カタコトの日本語で有名スポットを説明してくれたり、日本の曲を流して楽しませてくれたりということなしです。あえていうなら、東海岸のコースは人気なので本数を増やして欲しいです。でもまた利用したいです。

My 4 grandchildren loved Luau and the sea animals.
My granddaughter said it was a “blast”

I absolutely loved the Hawaiian singers on this tour. It was the highlight of my tour and my whole trip. Lived the Guava jelly song.

The driver was a cheerful person. It was fun! On the day I participated, most of the attendees were Japanese. They provided timely pick-up and drop-off services.

ドライバーさんが陽気な方でした。楽しかったです！
私が参加した日は日本人の方がほとんどでした。時間通りに送迎をしてくれました。

The morning was quite challenging. I didn't read the voucher carefully, and the meeting place was not at the hotel where I was staying, but about a 7-minute walk away.

Since I arrived 15 minutes early, I was able to make it to the correct meeting place on time. The driver didn't understand any Japanese, but he was a really nice person.

The activity was amazing. The explanations and registration before it started were a bit difficult, but the view afterward was fantastic. The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand most of it, but just watching the guide's way of speaking and expressions was enjoyable.

When it rains, the dust doesn't rise, but you get quite wet, so I think it's a good idea to buy a poncho on-site.

It was stated that there would be staff available who could speak Japanese, but after the initial greeting, everything was in English. There were no staff members who understood Japanese.

日本語対応可能スタッフがいると記載があったが、最初の挨拶以降は全て英語。日本語がわかるスタッフはいませんでした。

It was my first time at Diamond Head, and the guide explained the best way to get there using a Japanese pamphlet, which was very easy to understand. Although the explanation was in English, it was no problem since they explained it multiple times. They also give you mineral water on the way back (laughs).

初めてのダイアモンドヘッドでしたが、ガイドさんが車内と着いてから日本語パンフレットで
一番良い行き方を説明してくれて、分かりやすかったです。英語の説明ですが、何度も説明してくれるので問題ありません。ミネラルウオーターは帰りにくれます（笑）

I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil in Japan recently, so I enjoyed it in Hawaii. The venue is compact, so there aren't many big tricks, but there is a sense of unity. It also has a Hawaiian vibe, making it enjoyable for everyone. The location is also easy to access around Waikiki.

最近日本でシルクドゥソレイユを見ていなかったので、ハワイで楽しみました。
会場はコンパクトなのであまり大技はありませんが一体感はあります。
ハワイ感もあってどなたでも楽しめる内容だと思います。
場所もワイキキ界隈で行きやすいところです。

I purchased a 4-day ticket and used it only once. If you have a leisurely travel schedule, you can search for the boarding spots and adjust your timing, but it was quite difficult to use. I wanted to take my time in the evening, but it wasn't operating then. Besides the Ala Moana Shopping Center, I found it hard to figure out where the boarding spots were. Am I the only one who thought it was challenging?

4日間のチケットを購入して、1度だけ利用しました。時間に余裕のある旅行であれば、乗り場を探して時間に合わせてとできますが、なかなか使いづらかったです。夕方にゆっくりと乗りたいなと思っていたら、夕方は運行していなかったり。アラモアナショッピングセンター以外はどこが乗り場か分かりづらく、難しいと思ったのは私だけでしょうか。

It was absolutely wonderful. The venue was very small, and you could see well from anywhere, which made it very impressive. I was very surprised by the high level of performance. It was really great.

とても素晴らしかった。会場がとても狭く、どこからでもよく見えてとても迫力がありました。レベルの高さにとても驚きました。とても良かったです。

I believe I informed you of my birthday when I applied, but I'm not sure if it was an input error or a communication mistake, as I did not receive any birthday celebration. I had hoped to be celebrated, but by the time I was there, I felt indifferent about it, so I didn't follow up.

申込時に誕生日の連絡をしたはずでしたが、入力エラーだったのか連絡ミスなのかわかりませんが、誕生日お祝いはありませんでした。
できるなら祝って欲しいと思っていた程度だったこともあり、現地ではもうどっちでも良いと思ったので、確認も行いませんでした。

My husband forgot his driver's license, so I ended up driving the buggy! It was my first time driving, so it was quite challenging, especially since there were some steep roads along the way. Because of the danger, I had an instructor ride along with me halfway through. After that, I relaxed and enjoyed the sightseeing. Driving shouldn't be taken lightly, but if you want to drive, make sure you don't forget your driver's license.

主人が運転免許証を忘れて私がバギー運転！
初めて運転なので中々大変、途中かなり急な道もあり、危険ということで半ばからインストラクターなんに同乗。
その後はリラックスして見学に。
運転は甘くみない方がいいですが、運転したい場合は免許証をお忘れなく。

The routes are plentiful, and I rode every day! It's a bit pricey, but I felt secure and safe, so I'm glad I used it. However, since there are few departures, you need to plan your time accordingly.

ルートが豊富で、毎日乗っていました！少し割高ですが、安心だし安全だし利用してよかったです。ただ、便数が少ないので時間を考えて行動する必要ありです。

I wanted to take a bus tour around the area for the first time, but I was disappointed that I didn't have enough time. Next time, I would like to set aside a full day to explore.

初めてで中を廻るバスで廻りたかったのですが時間がなくて残念でした。次はまる１日くらい時間を取って廻りたいです。

The pickup from the hotel was very smooth. Climbing to the summit with a light in hand in the pitch dark and watching the sunrise made me feel refreshed. I've visited Hawaii many times, but I realized there are still places I haven't been to, and it felt like I rediscovered the charm of Hawaii. I encountered sea turtles at various beaches, and visiting the macadamia nut farm and coffee plantation was enjoyable as well. Above all, our guide Jonathan's chatter made it a truly delightful tour. I highly recommend it.

ホテル前からのピックアップはとてもスムーズでした。真っ暗な中ライトを片手に山頂まで登って朝日が上がるのを見られて清々しい気分になりました。
何回もハワイを訪れていますが、行っていない場所がまだまだあったんだなーとハワイの魅力を再発見した気分です。
あちこちの海岸でホヌに出会ってマカダミアナッツファームもコーヒー農園も楽しかったです。何よりガイドのジョナサンのお喋りがとても楽しい気分にさせてくれた最高のツアーでした。おすすめです。

I had the best beach experience in Hawaii! Since it was my first tour in Hawaii, I was a bit nervous, but there were Japanese-speaking guides, which made boarding the bus and entering Hanauma Bay go smoothly! During the shuttle ride, they announced information about the surrounding attractions, so I didn't feel bored on the bus. Also, when renting the snorkeling gear, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I was able to borrow it without any issues! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and everything I saw was a breathtaking view!

ハワイで最高のビーチ観光をすることができました！
ハワイで初のツアーに参加ということで、緊張していましたが、日本語での案内もあり、スムーズにバスの乗車/ハナウマ湾への入場をすることができました！
送迎のバスの中では、周辺の観光情報をアナウンスしてくれてバスの中も退屈しないと思います。
また、シュノーケリングセットのレンタル時も日本語を話せる店員さんがいらっしゃったので、こちらもスムーズに借りることができました！
海も非常に綺麗で目に映るもの全てが絶景でした！

I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:

1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.

2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.

3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.

From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.
