All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Three days before the Honolulu Marathon, I was wondering if a two-hour horseback riding course would be too much. However, thanks to the very smart horses that knew the entire route and guided us expertly, I had a great time without feeling tired at all.

For a full two hours, we rode through the forest, enjoyed views of the ocean, and saw all the filming locations from Jurassic Park in the grassy valleys of the mountains.

There was plenty of time before and after, so we were able to do some shopping and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was a lot of food, so sharing between the two of us was more than enough.

Lockers are available for $5 a day, the restrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The staff is very friendly, and there was even a briefing in Japanese beforehand.

ホノルルマラソン3日前に、乗馬2時間コースは無謀かな？と思っていましたが、とてもお利口な馬が全てルートもわかっていて、上手に案内してくれたおかげで全く疲れる事なく本当に楽しめました。
2時間たっぷり、森を抜けて、海を眺め、山の谷間の草むらからジェラシックパークのロケ場所まで全て見る事ができましたよ。
前後に充分な時間もあるので、買い物をしたり、lunchも美味しく食べました。多かったのでふたりでシェアで充分でした。
ロッカーは1日5ドル、トイレも清潔でクーラーも効いており申し分ありません。
スタッフも皆親切です。日本語での事前説明もありました。

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.

Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!

After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハレイワに行ってガーリックシュリンプを食べたいなぁと思っていた時に見つけたこちらのツアー。乗馬もしてみたいなと以前から思っており、海辺で乗馬なんて素敵！と思い申し込みました。
日本語ガイドのカズさんは行きの車内で明るくお話して下さり、車窓からの景色の紹介をしてくださいました。ツアーに参加されたメンバーの方も良い方ばかりで、ハネムーンというと拍手して下さいました。乗馬はやんちゃなお馬さんだったのか前へ前へと進んで最初は怖かったのですが、途中から慣れて楽しく過ごせました。インストラクターの方も2人ついてきちんとみて下さるので安心でした。途中写真も沢山撮ってくださいました！ハレイワに戻ってからはカズさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプのフードトラックへ。電話をかけて下さっていたおかげで美味しいガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べられました。そのおかげで時間も余裕ができ、マツモトシェイブアイスにも行け、雑貨屋さんなども楽しめました。帰りは集合場所でなく、ホテルの近くまでそれぞれ送ってくださいました。素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました！

You can feel the Christmas Season riding in the open air bus. Me and my family had a great experience. Love the music playing so much. Thank you!

First of all, there was no guidance in Japanese from start to finish. The dining setup was not at individual tables but rather at a long table for more than ten people. We attended as a couple, and instead of having reserved seats, we were guided to sit in order, side by side rather than across from each other. As soon as we sat down, drinks were served, but it seemed there was a set time for the meal, so we couldn't eat right away. There was one pineapple slice for every four people, so we passed the time eating that, but honestly, it wasn't sweet or particularly tasty. The buffet was served in order based on instructions. I thought the food was delicious. I was surprised by how rare the roast beef was! The dessert was also tasty. The show during the meal was good, partly because it was close! After the meal, we moved to the theater, but I wasn't sure when to move or which seats were ours. I entered the theater based on the flow of people, and once inside, we were also guided to our seats in order. Since we entered early, we ended up with pretty good seats! There was no information or stickers given to us. Even though we didn't know Elvis, we had a great time at the show. After it ended, we had the opportunity to take photos with the cast, and we took plenty without hesitation and left happily.

まず、日本語での案内等最初から最後まで一切ありません。食事は個別のテーブルではなく、10人以上の長テーブルで、夫婦で参加しましたが、予約席というか、順番に席をはじから案内され、向かい席でなく隣で並んで座りました。座ってすぐにドリンクが出ましたが、食事は決まった時間があるようでなかなか食べられなく、４人に１つパイナップルが置いてあるので一切れですがこれを食べながら時間をつぶしました、正直これは甘くもなく美味しいとは言えません。ビュッフェは順番に指示があってから取りに行きます。味については美味しいと思います。ローストビーフの生すぎるのには驚きました！デザートも美味しかったです。食事中のショーも近かったせいもあるが良かったです！食後にシアターに移動ですが、これがいつ移動したらいいのか、どの席なのかわからなかったです。人の流れを見て自分の判断でシアターに入ると、中に人がいて、ここでも順番に席を案内されました。早めに入ったせいかなかなかいい席でした！何かステッカーをもらうとか案内をもらうとか何もありません。ショーはエルビスを知らない我々でも大変楽しかったです。終了後、キャスターとの写真撮影が可能で、遠慮せずドンドン撮って楽しく帰りました。

I participated because I wanted to experience something that I can't enjoy in Japan during my first trip to Hawaii. It rained from the morning of the reserved day, and I received a call first thing in the morning from Genie, who suggested, "Since the weather is bad today, let's change it to tomorrow afternoon!" The change turned out to be a great decision, as the next day was clear and sunny! The staff were very polite and taught us well, and even though I was nervous, I was able to ride smoothly and had a very enjoyable two hours! It was fun to feel the wind. Genie was cute, kind, and the best! (＾＾) Since we were the first group this time, I want to join the Segway tour again with all my friends next time.

初めてのハワイで、日本では味わえないことがしたいと参加しました。
予約した日の朝から雨で、朝いちばんにお電話をいただき、「今日は天気が悪いから明日の午後に変更しよう！」とジーニーさんから提案していただき変更。変更が大当たりで翌日は快晴でした！
スタッフの方も丁寧に教えていただき、ドキドキしながらもスムーズに乗れるようになって、とても楽しい2時間をすごせました！風を切るのが楽しかったです。ジーニーさんもキュートで親切で最高でした！（＾＾）
今回私たちは先発隊だったので、次回は友達みんなでまたセグウェイツアーに参加したいと思っています。

As expected, you can enjoy jumping while taking in the beautiful sky and sea of Hawaii! It's a unique experience that I highly recommend.

期待していた通り、ハワイの美しい空と海を堪能しながらのジャンプを体験できます！なかなかできない体験ですのでとてもお勧めします。

The staff is cheerful and kindly makes your experience enjoyable! The view of Honolulu's skyline and the sunset from offshore is beautiful and wonderful. We sail close to Diamond Head.

スタッフは陽気で親切に楽しましてくれます！とにかく沖合のから見るホノルルの街並みや夕陽の景色が美しく素晴らしいです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまで航行します。

No words can describe it.
It was a great experience

I received a cancellation notice because the Japanese tour didn't meet the minimum number of participants, but I joined in with an English guide and it was quite fun! I laughed a lot.

The guide talked non-stop like a radio DJ, but I got used to it surprisingly well. Since I'm in a foreign country, this is also acceptable! He spoke to us in slow English, which was nice.

It was raining at Manoa Falls, but the weather was actually quite nice for feeling the essence of Hawaii. The greenery was more vibrant, and the sound of the waterfall was very refreshing.

The ocean is great, but the mountains are nice too.

P.S. I actually participated in a trial tour with Lucky Man, the owner of this tour, four years ago. It's a shame that it seems to no longer exist, but I really enjoyed having a guide who wasn't just focused on tourism. I had hoped to see him again, but it's unfortunate.

　日本人ツアーが定員満たずキャンセルの連絡がきましたが、英語のガイドで楽人に交じって参加。。。。結構面白かったです！大爆笑。
　ラジオのDJを聞いているようにしゃべりっぱなしのガイドでしたが、耳になじんで意外といけました。一応外国に来ているんだからこれもありです！
私たちへの問いかけはゆっくり目の英語にしてくれました。（笑）
　マノアの滝は雨でしたがハワイを感じるの実はなかなかよい天候（笑）緑がより緑で滝の音ととても新鮮です。
　海もいいけど山もよいですね。
　追伸、このツアーのオーナーのラッキーマンに実は4年前にトライアルツァーに参加。。。もうないみたいで残念でしたが、観光じゃないガイドがとてもよかたです。（笑）また、お会いしたいと思っていましたが、残念でした。

I was very grateful for the detailed explanations and precautions provided by the Japanese guide for activities that could be life-threatening if one missteps, such as being in the ocean. However, I was strictly lectured about the cultural differences between Hawaii (America) and Japan, mainly regarding the tipping culture and the quality of service.

I am already aware of these differences and do not expect the same level of service as in Japan while abroad. I understand that some participants may not grasp these concepts, but the way it was conveyed felt quite condescending, almost as if the guide was ashamed of Japanese people. I understand the sentiment, but it was uncomfortable. It would have been better to casually say something like, "Please leave your tips here at the end. Feel free to ask if you have any questions," rather than raising one's voice and dragging out the explanation.

Additionally, during the dolphin watching from the boat, when the dolphins were only visible in the distance, the guide said to the Japanese guests (not us), "You've seen them, right? Hurry back to your seats!" which left a bad taste in my mouth. We participated to see the dolphins, after all. Perhaps it was due to concerns about seasickness? Again, I thought the delivery could have been better.

On a positive note, the explanations about the ecology of sea turtles and dolphins, as well as the advice for dolphin swimming, were very helpful and appreciated. Thanks to that, I was able to jump in without hesitation and saw both dolphins and honu.

Regarding the activity plan, I was looking forward to snorkeling, SUP, and water slides besides dolphin swimming, but the time was very short, and we couldn't do SUP, which was disappointing, though I understand it was due to the schedule. It felt like a bonus. If given another opportunity, I plan to participate in these marine activities with dedicated time.

While I have shared many critiques, I want to emphasize that we did not experience seasickness thanks to effective medication, and we were able to encounter dolphins and honu, which was very moving, so I am glad we participated. The staff, aside from the aforementioned issues, were all very friendly, cheerful, and enjoyable to be around. The photographer was also very nice and provided detailed answers about dolphin ecology. We were able to purchase many photos for just $65, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you.

Regarding tips, Japanese participants often wonder how much to give, so I’ll share my thoughts for reference. The Japanese guide mentioned that the usual tip is around 20%, with a minimum of about 10%. When we participated in other activities where we received excellent service, we each gave 25%. For those who provided exceptional service, we also give individual tips separately. For this activity, we tipped about 15% each. We also left about 10% collectively for the shuttle bus.

日本人ガイドは海という一歩間違えると命を落としかねないアクティビティでは細かな説明や注意事項を聞くのにとてもありがたかったです。が・・・
ハワイ(アメリカ)と日本の文化の違いについて厳しく説明されました。
主にチップ文化やサービスのクオリティの違いについてです。

そんなこと承知の上ですし海外にきて日本と同等のサービスなど求めておりません。
参加者の中にそれらを理解されていない方もおられるのかと存じますが、言い方がどうも･･･そんな日本人を恥と思っているような物言いで正直不快でした。気持ちは分かりますが･･･
無知な方がおられるのか知りませんが声を荒げてダラダラと説明する内容ではないですね。サラッとスマートに「チップは終わりにここにちょうだいねー。分からなければ気軽に聞いて」など一言添える程度で良いのでは？

あと、船上からのイルカウォッチングの際、遠くに小さく見える程度で皆さん一生懸命みていてやっと少し近づくと１分もたたないで「もう見たからいいでしょ！早く席に戻って！」と言っていた（私達ではない日本人客に対して）のにも気分が悪くなりました。
私たちはイルカを見るために参加しているのです。
船酔いを心配してでしょうか？やはりここでも言い方が悪いなと思ってしまいました。

しかし、ウミガメやイルカの生態についての説明や、ドルフィンスイムの際に見るためのアドバイス等はとてもためになり良かったです。
お陰様で躊躇なく飛び込むことができましたし、イルカもホヌも見れました。

アクティビティのプランについて
ドルフィンスイム以外のシュノーケルやSUPやウォータースライダーなども楽しみにしていましたが時間がとても短くてSUPまでは出来ずで残念でしたがタイムスケジュール的に仕方ないかなと。オマケみたいなものですね。
また機会があればこれらのマリンアクテビティは別でしっかり時間をとったものに参加しようと思います。

・・とここまで長々と余り良い感想はないですが。
私達は酔い止めも薬もしっかり効き船酔いすることもなく、イルカやホヌにも出会えとても感動しましたので参加して良かったと思っています。
スタッフの方も上記のこと以外はすごくフレンドリーで明るく楽しい方ばかりで良かったです。
カメラマンの方もとても良い方でイルカの生態についても質問すると詳しく教えていただけました。写真もたくさん枚数があるのに65ドルで購入できとても良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございます。


チップについでですが、日本人参加者の方々はどのくらい渡そうかと悩みますので参考までに書いておきます。
その日本人ガイドさんも普通20%位で 〜10%程度とおっしゃっており、私達も他のアクティビティに参加した際、とても良くしていただいたのでその時は25%を夫婦各々で渡しました。また特別お世話になったなと感じた人にはそれとは別で個別に渡すようにしています。今回こちらのアクティビティでは夫婦各自15%程度を。送り迎えのバスには夫婦でまとめて10%程度入れて帰りました。

I participated with transportation included. There were staff who spoke Japanese at the visitor center, but all the zipline instructors spoke English, so I watched a Japanese video beforehand. The instructors also engaged with us, and I was able to understand somewhat and enjoy the experience.

On the way to the zipline location, we toured filming sites like Jurassic Park, and the driver provided explanations. That was all in English, though...

Since transportation is provided, it's more cost-effective to participate in activities other than the zipline and stay for a full day.

送迎付きで参加しました。
日本語を話せるスタッフはビジターセンターにはいましたが、実際のジップライン のインストラクターは全て英語のため、先に日本語のビデオを見ました。インストラクターも色々話かけてくれ、なんとなく理解できて、楽しめた。
ジップライン の場所までも、ジェラシックパーク等のロケ地を巡りながら行き、ドライバーが説明してくれました。それも、全て英語ですが…

送迎があるので、ジップライン 意外のアクティビティも参加して、丸1日滞在する方が、コスパいいです。

During my trip to Hawaii, I attended several luau shows, but most of them were viewed from dining areas, making it difficult to see through the crowd. However, this show featured a short luau show and luau experience right at the dining location. The show was incredibly close to our seats, providing an impressive experience. The food, including tuna poke and white fish, was perfectly suited to Japanese tastes. After the meal, we moved to a dedicated hall to enjoy the show in luxurious, comfortable seats reminiscent of a movie theater. The performance showcased impersonators of Michael from various eras, as well as a variety of regional luau shows, which left me thoroughly satisfied. I found this show to be more satisfying than others, and I would love to participate again, even with friends.

ハワイに来て、今まで何か所か色んなルアウショーを観ましが、ほとんどが食事した場所で観る事が多いので、ルアウショーを観るには人の隙間から観る事が多いですが、このショーは、食事の場所では、短いルアウショーとルアウ体験がおこなわれました。ルアウショーは、席の近くで観れるので迫力満点です。料理は、マグロのポケや白身魚など日本人の口にバッチリ合ってます。食事の後に行われるショーは、食事会場から専用ホールへ移動して鑑賞で映画館バリの豪華で座り心地の良い席で鑑賞します。ショーは、古い年代から現代までのアメリカやハワイのマイケルのそっくりさんをはじめ、各地域のルアウショーをたっぷり鑑賞出来たので、大満足でした。他のルアウショーより満足度が高いので、又、参加したいし、友達同士でも行きたいです。

A waterproof case is essential for taking photos and videos. It's also better to use a neck strap. There was someone in the same group who dropped their smartphone into the sea while it was in their pocket. The guide searched for it that day but couldn't find it, and they mentioned they would look for it again during tomorrow's tour, but it's unclear if it was found.

The tour was satisfying. There were two boats, and we were divided into English and Japanese groups. First, we practiced snorkeling at the sandbar. The sandbar was about waist-deep for adults. After that, we drove the boat through an area where sea turtles live. We were able to see about five sea turtles, and it was great to see them come up to the surface. Finally, we put on fins and flotation devices and swam around the coral. With the flotation devices, there was no worry about sinking, and it was nice to see tropical fish.

For lunch, we had hamburgers after swimming at the sandbar. The meat was large, flavorful, and delicious. The hamburger tasted especially good after swimming.

写真や動画を取るために防水ケースは必須。
また、首掛けタイプにしたほうがいいです。
同じ組にポケットにいれて、スマホを海中に落とされた方がいらしたので。
当日ガイドが探したが見つからず、ガイドの方が明日のツアー中にも探すと言ってましたが、見つかったかは不明。

ツアーは満足。
船は２隻で英語組と日本語組に分かれてツアーをしました。
まず初めにサンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習。
サンドバーは大人で腰くらいの高さ。
そのあと船を走らせウミガメがすんでるところを通ります。
ウミガメは5頭ぐらい見れて、首を海面に出すとこも見れてよかった。
最後に足ひれと浮き具を着てサンゴの周りを泳ぎます。
浮き具があるので、沈む心配はないし、熱帯魚も見れてよかった。

昼食はサンドバーで泳いだ後にハンバーガーをいただきました。
肉が大きくて味もしっかりしていておいしかった。
泳いだ後のハンバーガーはおいしく感じます。

First of all, I want to point out that all explanations from the reception until the end were in English. There was no broken Japanese, so those who can't speak English have to tough it out... (laughs) However, they conveyed the important parts through gestures, so I was able to understand somewhat.

Whether it was the location or just luck, we were able to see a lot of sea turtles. I left my smartphone on the boat, so I couldn't take any pictures, but having a water-resistant camera would be even better.

After snorkeling, we went sailing, and the sailing time was longer than I expected (laughs). Many people ended up feeling seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

That said, it was a course where we could enjoy beautiful fish, sea turtles, and the atmosphere of Hawaii on the boat, and I had a great time!

まず初めに注意して頂きたいのが、受付から解散までずっと英語での説明です。カタコト日本語とかも無いので英語ができない人は気合いで乗り切るしかありません…(笑)ただ重要な部分はジェスチャーで伝えてくれたのでなんとなくは理解することが出来ました。日本人参加者は私たち以外にいなかったので、他の参加者の方に聞くこともできませんでした…。

場所が良かったのか、運が良かったのか、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。スマホは船上に置いてきてしまったので撮影はできなかったのですが、水濡れOKのカメラがあるとなおいいかもしれません。

シュノーケリングが終わったあとはセーリングなのですが、セーリングの時間が思った以上に長いです(笑)船酔いしてしまう人が続出だったので、酔い止めは必須です。

とはいえ、綺麗な魚もウミガメも船上でハワイの風などの雰囲気も楽しめるコースとなっており、とても満喫出来ました！

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, but the air conditioning on the bus was so strong that it felt cold. After boarding the boat with the sound bar, I quickly understood the guide's explanation.

At first, we practiced snorkeling, then slowly peered into the water and realized I was surrounded by small fish. After that, we enjoyed watching sea turtles and dolphins.

It was really great!

当日は天気も良かったのですがバスの中のクーラーが効き過ぎる位効いて寒いくらいでした。サウンドバーに付き船に乗り込みガイドの説明ですぐに理解出来ました。
最初はシュノーケルの練習をした後ゆっくり水面を覗き込み小さな魚の中に自分が居るのがわかりました。その後海ガメ、イルカ　ウォッチングをたのしみました。
とても良かったです

The Manoa Falls tour was canceled the day before. I only found out about the cancellation through an email, and it wasn't until I received a phone call the night before that I learned about it. From there, I requested to change to another tour and was able to participate in the Waimea Falls tour. The guides from the tour company Dolphin & You (driver John, Toshio, and Daisuke) were very cheerful and fun, and even though it was a downpour during the tour, I had a great time.

前日にマノアの滝ツアーが中止になった。中止の連絡がメールだけだったので中止のことを知ったのが前日の夜に電話があり初めて知った。そこから別のツアーに変更をお願いして、なんとかワイメアの滝ツアーに参加することができた。ツアー会社ドルフィン＆ユーのガイド（運転手ジョンさん、トシオさん、ダイスケさん）はとても愉快で楽しく、土砂降りのツアーでしたが楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

This tour is impressive. We two adults and one kid (5 years old) really enjoyed the tour. There are roughly 3 hours from leaving and back to the wharf, including the round trips (20 minutes), preparation and cleaning (20 minutes), and the total number at Sand bar for playing is about 2 hours 20 minutes, which is enough for playing kayak, paddle board, snookering, volleyball, and relaxing.

The place itself is safe. KBOS assigned one or two staffs for each kind of activity, and they provide help for whoever needs it. The water depth was 3~4 ft when we were there, and the staff said the water depth is 2~5 ft depending on the tides. Little kids friendly as long as they are not sacred of swimming.

Simple lunch and drink were provided. Live music on the boat. The staffs are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

We self drive from Waikiki, which took us about 40 minutes before the lunch time. There are a lot of parking spots.

We will come back when we visit Oahu again.

It was my sixth-grade daughter's second time snorkeling in her life, but perhaps because of her bad experience during her first time, I had to somewhat forcefully encourage her to participate. However, from the moment we were picked up, the staff were kind and taught us patiently, which allowed her to enjoy it with peace of mind. She said it was the most fun she had during this trip! It has become my favorite memory as well. Thank you very much!

小学6年生の娘にとって人生で二度目のシュノーケリングでしたが、初めて体験した時のイメージが悪かったせいか、嫌がる娘を半ば強引に誘っての参加でした。
しかし、送迎の時から優しく、丁寧に教えて頂き、安心して楽しむことができたようで、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました！私にとっても一番の思い出です。本当にありがとうございました

Since the last time I went to Hawaii, I had been wanting to try yoga, and this time I participated. It was a really wonderful place with a view of the ocean, and Teacher Tomoko welcomed us with a smile. I was a bit anxious since I had almost no experience with yoga, but Teacher Tomoko talked to me, and my nerves disappeared! Local participants also joined, and the lesson was conducted in both English and Japanese. I felt so happy being able to breathe in the fresh air and move my body while looking at the beautiful ocean and sky. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. Thank you!

前回ハワイへ行った時からヨガをやってみたいと思っていて、今回参加しました。
海が見えるとても素敵な場所でトモコ先生が笑顔で迎えてくださいました。ヨガの経験はほとんどなかったので不安だったのですが、トモコ先生から話しかけてくださり、緊張が飛んでいきました！
現地の方も参加されていて、英語と日本語両方で説明しながらレッスンしてくださいました。綺麗な海と空を見ながら空気を吸ったり、身体を動かすことができて、すごく幸せでした。
次ハワイに行く時もぜひ参加したいと思っています。ありがとうございました！

I participated with a friend during my trip.
The location was Kapiolani Beach Park, and the beach spread out right in front of us, making it very open and inviting.
There were also a few locals participating.
The instructor provided lectures in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand.
My body, which had been tense during my stay, felt much better.
During the final shavasana, when I closed my eyes, I could hear the gentle waves and the chirping of small birds, which was very pleasant and relaxing. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

旅行中に友人と参加しました。
場所はカピオラニビーチパーク
目の前にビーチが広がりとても開放的でした。
地元の方も数名参加されていました。
先生は英語と日本語を交えてレクチャーしてくれるので分かりやすかったです。
滞在中に凝り固まっていた身体が楽になりました。
最後のシャバーサナでは目を閉じるとさざ波や小鳥のさえずりが聞こえてきてとても心地よくリラックスできました。また機会があったら参加したいです。

It was my first time horseback riding, but there were instructions in Japanese, so it’s a tour that Japanese people can participate in without any issues. We rode for two hours, so my backside got a bit tired, but the scenery was amazing, and it was such a good experience that it felt short! I definitely want to do it again.

初めての乗馬でしたが、日本語でのインストラクションもあり、日本人でも問題なく参加できるツアーです。
2時間乗るので、少しお尻がつかれましたが、景色が最高で、短く感じるくらい良い体験でした！またぜひやりたいです。

This was my first major vacation after being isolated due to COVID. Being immunocompromised makes finding activities difficult. We contemplated the UTV/ATV tour, in hopes of social distancing. However, we settled on the bus tour at the last minute. We got the early Monday morning tour our last day on Oahu. The bus was almost empty, so we comfortably social distanced. (The later morning buses were definitely far busier) Nick was a great host and generally joyful human being. He made the experience even better for us, despite my limitations. This place is beautiful and gorgeously maintained. Cannot miss this! If I get back to Oahu and I am well enough, I’ll be joining the horse back riding tour.

We had great time at sandbar playing volleyball. Food was good. First time snorkeling but the whole crew was amazing and helped us. We saw lot of fishes, manta ray, turtles. Highly recommend!!

Everyone else was either American or Canadian, and we were completely away from it all. Everyone was incredibly cheerful, drinking and having a great time. The yacht didn’t sway at all, and we cruised through Maalaea Bay under clear skies. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was wonderful, making for a happy two hours. This was the best part of the trip. I didn’t get seasick and felt absolutely refreshed. I will definitely ride again the next time I go to Waikiki.

我々以外はアメリカ人もしくはカナダ人で、完全にAwayでした。
皆さんすこぶる陽気で、お酒を飲んでめちゃめちゃ盛り上がっていました。
ヨットはまったく揺れず、快晴の中マララ湾を進んでいきました。
沖から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は素晴らしく、幸せな2時間でした。今回の旅行で一番良かったです。船酔いもせず、最高に気分爽快でした。次にワイキキに行ったときも必ず乗ります。

We participated as a family with a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old. The transportation was provided by a small bus with a Japanese-speaking driver to our hotel. It took about 30 minutes to the port, and then we arrived at the destination in about 15 minutes by a small ferry. The captain was very kind, stopping when we spotted sea turtles or when a guest's hat fell into the sea.

I had imagined the location to be a sandy beach, but it was a shallow area about 100 cm deep, so the 6-year-old needed a float. For water activities, there were floats, a small boat with windows to observe the seabed, and paddleboards. After playing for about an hour, those who wanted to went snorkeling.

Snorkeling is generally recommended for those who can swim on their own, but you can also hold onto the instructor's board for assistance. The instructions were provided on the boat with Japanese interpretation. Since putting on the mask can be a bit tricky, it might be smoother if you research it in advance. The 12-year-old accidentally swallowed some seawater and felt a bit sick later.

Under the sea, we could clearly see fish, corals, and sea turtles. Onboard, snacks, canned drinks, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were freely available. Bringing your own food was also allowed. After playing in the sea, it can get a bit chilly, so it's advisable to bring a bath towel or a jacket. Don't forget to bring tips as well.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

12歳、6歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。 送迎はホテルまで小さなバスで日本語堪能な方がしてくださいました。
港まで30分ほど、港から小型フェリーで現地まで15分ほどで現地到着でした。 船長は海面にウミガメが見えるときや、お客の帽子が海に落下した時に止まってくださったり大変親切な方でした。
現地は砂浜をイメージしていたのですが、100cmほどの深さの浅瀬で6歳の子は浮き輪が必要でした。
海遊びは浮き輪、海底が観察できる窓つきの小さなボート、パドルボードがあります。1時間ほど遊んだ後、希望者はシュノーケリングに行きました。
シュノーケリングは基本的に自身で泳げる方が推奨ですが、インストラクターのボードにつかまってつれてっていただくこともできます。
説明は船上で日本語通訳付きでしてくださいます。マスクの付け方がちょっと難しいので事前に調べておいた方がスムーズかもしれません。12歳の子は海水をちょっと飲んでしまい、後で気持ち悪くなっていました。
海の中は魚たち、サンゴ、ウミガメがばっちり見えましたよ。
船内はスナック、缶ジュース、コーヒー、紅茶、ホットチョコレートなど自由にいただけます。持ちこみも可です。
海で遊んだ後は少々寒いので、バスタオルや上着は持っていった方が良いでしょう。
チップも忘れずに持っていきましょう。
全体にすばらしい体験でした。

I participated with a friend.
For two hours, we were swayed by the smart horses, visiting many places like the sea, mountains, and movie filming locations.
It was an experience that you absolutely can't have in Japan, and it was truly the best!
As everyone says, your leg and butt muscles will get sore, so please be careful (laughs).
But it was such a wonderful experience that I didn't mind that at all!

友達と参加しました。
2時間賢いお馬さんに揺られて、海や山、映画のロケ地などをたくさん巡りました。
日本では絶対にできない経験で、本当に最高でした！
みなさんおっしゃる通り、足とお尻の筋肉は痛くなりますのでご注意ください（笑）
でもそんなことも気にならないくらいのステキな経験でした！

Went in November and it was a very small trip. The guides and captain were great, the equipment was well maintained, and the boat was comfortable.

I participated in a buggy tour. The scenery was magnificent, and I felt a sense of freedom that I can't experience in Japan. I thought I would get extremely dirty based on the reviews, but it was better than I expected. (It seems like it would be a good idea to take a shower before dinner after returning to the hotel.) The waiting time until the bus departure felt a bit wasted, but it was nice to relax and wait while enjoying the stunning views.

バギーツアーに参加しました。
景色が壮大で絶景で日本では体験できない開放感を感じることができました。
口コミをみてものすごく汚れるかと思っていましたが、思っていたよりはマシでした。(ホテルに帰ってからごはん前にシャワーは浴びた方がよさそうです)
帰りのバスの時刻までの待ち時間が少しもったいなかったですが、絶景をみながらのんびり待つのもまたよかったです。

Me and my husband did several activities in the Big Island and Oahu and the experience we had in the Sandbar was the best out of all. The reservation was easy and the staffs/crews on the boat were very friendly. They delivered the information and guideline very well and were willing to help. Kayaking was so fun and relaxing and snorkeling was amazing(I can't swim but the life vest they provided helped me to explore the ocean). We saw more fish than we did at Hanauma Bay. I definitely recommend this activity to everyone who visits Oahu. Next time I go, I would bring a jacket or an extra beach towel with me because I felt a little cold on the way back(They give you hot tea to help).

Every single presentation was excellent! Kap on the Samoan stage was fabulous, entertaining and funny! Great artwork too. Enjoyed the Fiji one also, especially noting that the missionaries led them to Christ and then their idols were torn down! Learned about ancestral New Zealand which I didn’t know the name of, bur I do now! While we did not really have a guide as expected, there were always people to show us the next move when we appeared lost! The luau was good, our first ever. And enjoyed hearing the music of Wahine Elua - very good!
The theater production after the Luau was impressive too! Super talent on display, especially the spectacular fire dancer and her team! WOW!
