All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I was able to see sea turtles up close! There were plenty of drinks and snacks, and it was fun on the boat too! We also did trick-or-treating!

間近で海亀を見ることができました！
ドリンクやスナックも豊富で船の上も楽しかったです！

It was absolutely wonderful!
I was able to see sea turtles and flying fish.

ありがとうございました。

In the early morning, there are courses available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and I chose the morning to head to "Kaneohe"! The ocean was even more beautiful than I imagined, and there was plenty of time to play and enjoy the sea. The guide informed us that there’s a high chance of encountering "honu" (sea turtles), and while looking at the surface of the water, everyone suddenly pointed at the sea (laughs). This time, I participated with my family, and we returned feeling warm and happy. I was a bit concerned about the restroom situation, but overall, it was a lot of fun!

　早朝、午前、午後とコースがある中で、午前を選択して、いざ、「カネオヘ」へ！想像以上に海はきれいで、遊ぶ時間もたっぷりあり、海を満喫できます。高確率で「ホヌ」に出会えるとガイドさんに教えていただき、水面を見ているとみんながいっせいに海を指さしていました（笑）今回は、家族で参加しましたが、ほっこりして帰ってきました。少しトイレ事情が悪いのが気になりますが、かなり楽しめますよ！

The staff were the best! They were professional & knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. It was a memorable experience just being in this scenic, beautiful area. Even the BBQ was excellent. When I come back, I will do it all over again. NOTE: the bus driver, Richard, who shuttled us, kept us entertained.

Riding through the wind felt absolutely amazing! Since it was equipped with electric assist, I was able to glide along effortlessly without any strain at all. It was great that we stopped at several scenic spots for photo opportunities and took our time. Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, I appreciated the guide's thoughtfulness in using Google Translate to help us. I also felt reassured knowing that the helmets were disinfected after use.

The weather in the mountains can change quickly, so after it rained, the ground became slippery, and I saw a few people fall, but the others around and the guide were very kind and helped them. At the end, I even received a Band-Aid. The rear tire of the mountain bike splashes mud, so my back got dirty. I think it's best to wear clothes that can get dirty and have a bag that can also handle some mud. Next time, I want to try zip-lining!

風を切って走るのが最高に気持ちよかった！
電動アシスト付きなのでスイスイ進めて全く辛くなかったです。
眺めのいいところや何ヶ所かで撮影ポイントや時間を取ってくれて良かったですし、
日本語は通じないけど、Google翻訳を使って教えてくれたりとガイドさんの気遣いも嬉しかったです。
使い終わったヘルメットも消毒されてるのを見て確認したので安心でした。
山の天気は変わりやすいので、雨が降ったりした後は滑りやすいので転んでる方も何人か居ましたが、周りの方やガイドさんが助けてくれたりと優しかったです。
最後にバンドエイドも貰ってました。
マウンテンバイクの後ろのタイヤが泥を跳ねるので背中が汚れます。
汚れてもいい服装や背中に背負うバックは汚れてもいいものがいいと思います。
今度はジップラインをやりたいと思っています！

I was very moved during my last trip to Hawaii in 2019, so I made sure to include it again this time. The live band performance was powerful, and I enjoyed the songs of my favorite artists, Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing and authentic entertainment. Considering COVID-19, it was nice to be able to watch from the first floor since there was no dining while viewing. It was a bit disappointing that the performer playing Michael had gained some weight after the pandemic. Still, I was very satisfied.

前回（2019）ハワイへ行った時にとても感動したので今回も必須で組込みました。
生バンドでのパフォーマンスは迫力があり大好きなエルビスやマイケルの歌やフラダンスと本場のエンターテイメントを楽しめました。
コロナを考慮して、食事をとりながらの観覧は無いため1階席で観れたのは良かったです。
コロナ後で演者さんが代わりマイケルがちょっと小太りになっていたのは残念。
それでも大満足でした。

The Kualoa Experience was amazing, The tours that we did on the day had exceptional knowledgeable guides.
We also had the lunch which was delicious. We had know idea that there was that many movies and series made at the ranch.

When you think of Hawaii, the strong impression is often of beaches, but I've always been interested in Kualoa Ranch, which is the opposite of ocean leisure activities.

At the meeting point, a large bus welcomed us. We headed to the ranch with quite a number of people on board.

Each tour (there are many activities besides horseback riding) has a separate check-in location, where the meeting place and time are announced. After arriving, we had a two-hour wait until our horseback riding time, and after riding, we had another three hours until the bus departure, making it quite challenging to pass the time.

However, being able to ride for a full two hours to and from the canyon, which was a filming location for Jurassic Park, was an unparalleled experience.

You can buy lunch at the café within the ranch, but I think it's better to bring your own since there aren't many options available.

ハワイと言えばビーチの印象が強いですが、海のレジャーとは対極のクアロア牧場はかねてより興味がありました。

集合場所には大型バスがお出迎え。かなりの人数を乗せて牧場まで向かいます。

ツアーごと（乗馬以外にもたくさんあります）に受付場所が分かれ、集合場所と集合時間が告げられます。到着して乗馬の時間まで2時間、乗馬終了後バスの出発までさらに3時間あり、時間を潰すのがけっこう大変でした。

しかし、ジュラシックパークのロケ地であったという峡谷まで馬上でたっぷり2時間かけて往復できるのは、他にない体験でした。

ランチは牧場内のカフェでも買えますが、あまり品数がないので持参した方が良いと思います。

It was quick and convenient, no hassle no fuss. Highly recommend this

When the buggies are assigned to the back of the line, the dust is overwhelming, and even with goggles on, dust gets in and it really hurts my eyes.

Afterward, my face and clothes were covered in mud and dirt, which was quite a mess! I recommend that those who participate wear clothes that they don't mind getting dirty!

If you're lucky enough to drive near the front of the line, it might not be a problem, but if you end up in the back with the buggies, it can be quite challenging, so please be careful.

後ろの方の車列にバギーがアサインされると砂埃が半端なく、ゴーグルをかけていても砂が入ってくるので目が痛くて大変でした。

終わった後も泥砂だらけで顔服がかなり汚れます笑
体験される方は汚れても良い服で参加されることをオススメします！

運良く車列の前のほうで運転できたら問題ないかもしれませんが、運悪く後ろのバギーになると大変なので気をつけてください。

Ya better book ahead for this one ! Cocktail sailing was super !
The view along the coast was beautiful as was the sunset .The boat ride itself was well worth the money and the staff/crew were entertaining and we had a memorable time .
Every sunset is different in Hawaii .All the colours of the water, sky and being out on the water...it made a wonderful way to finish our day .

Very well organized experience, we felt very welcome as well.
It was quite interesting to discover new cultures.

The Moke islands were unfortunately closed without a tour guide due to the wind/currents but we were still able to kayak to the flat island. It was so much fun to walk around the island and check out the wildlife there. We then kayaked to Lanikai beach to hang out and snorkel there. Had an amazing bbq lunch plate next to the shop and then went for a bike ride around Lanikai. We were able to do everything at our own pace and all the crew were so friendly. Great way to spend the day.

This was so much fun! All of the crew were so nice and made sure everyone was having a great time. Definitely get the bumper tube rides and take some time to snorkel and enjoy the water. It was the prefect way to start our day.

We had a great time out on the ranch. The UTV tour was so much fun and the guides were passionate and very informative. It was a solid 2 hours of driving around the ranch and the views were amazing. This a must do!

The Rock-a-Hula show was a lot of fun.

I thought it would be just hula, but since the main part was a rock-themed show (impersonations), I had a great time. My plan was to sit in the second-floor seats, so I entered the theater without much expectation, but it turned out to be a large first-floor seat, positioned six seats from the front, which gave me a fantastic view of the show. Elvis was amazing, but I’m sorry to say that Michael was a bit on the heavier side and lacked sharpness, which made me laugh throughout the performance (he was really trying hard, so I feel bad).

As for the buffet in the first half, there was quite a wait as rumored, so it's best to go with that in mind. The sweet potatoes were delicious. However, I took too much—way too much, actually, and couldn't finish it. I really think it's better to take just a little bit at a time. During the meal, there was also a simple hula show and a mini hula experience, which was quite enjoyable.

ロック・ア・フラ、楽しかったです。

フラだけだと、少し、と思っていたのですが、ロックな感じのショー（モノマネ）がメインだったので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私のプランは、２階席と書いてあったので期待せずにシアターに入ったのですが、２階席ではなく、大きな１階席で、前から6席目という位置付けでしたので、すごくよくショーが見えました。
エルビスは最高だっただけに、マイケルは申し訳ないですが、ちょいとふくよかで、キレがあまりなく、終始笑わせてもらってました。（本人はすごく頑張っていたので、申し訳ないです）

前半のビュッフェは、噂通り待ち時間が結構ありましたので、そのつもりで行った方がいいですね。食事はお芋がおいしかったです。でも、２つは取りすぎました。すごくたくさん取ってしまうので、食べきれません。本当に少しづつ取った方がいいと思います。
食事の途中でフラの簡単なショーや、フラのプチ体験とかもあって、結構楽しかったです。

Since everything was explained in English, it might be difficult for those who don't understand English at all. (The video explaining how to use the buggy is in Japanese.)
However, the buggy was incredibly fun!
The guide was very kind and took a lot of photos for us!
After it was over, my face, clothes, and hair were really dirty.
I think you should put your bags in a locker before the reception!

全部英語での説明だったので、英語が全くわからない方は大変かもしれないです。（バギーの乗り方の説明動画は日本語）
ただ、バギーはものすごく楽しかったです！
案内してくれるガイドさんもとても優しく、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました！
終わった後、顔と洋服と髪の毛はめちゃくちゃ汚れてました
カバンなどは受付前にロッカーに入れておくべきだと思います！

We departed from the beach in front of the Sheraton Hotel, just a stone's throw away from the hotel, about 80 minutes before sunset. The catamaran can accommodate around 20 to 30 people. We turned around after passing the beautifully illuminated Diamond Head at sunset. Cruising while sipping a Mai Tai and enjoying the sunset is an absolutely wonderful experience!

泊まったホテルから目と鼻の先、シェラトンホテル前のビーチから、日没約80分前に出発しました。カタマラン型のヨットには、20〜30人くらい乗れます。夕日が美しく映えるダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎた辺りでUターン。マイタイ・ドリンクを飲みつつ、サンセットを眺めながらのクルージングは最高に気持ちが良いものです！

It was a long-awaited family trip to Hawaii.
We had a great time enjoying the magnificent nature.
It was fulfilling, the scenery was beautiful, and I would recommend it to my friends!

久しぶりの家族でのハワイ旅行。
壮大な自然の中で思いっきり楽しめました。
充実した内容で、景色も楽しめて、友人にも勧めたいです！

Not enough time for the Bowfin and Missouri! Especially the Missouri is so valuable and amazing!
Introduction saying drop off 16:15-17:00, but our tour actually ended by 14:30 (return from Missouri), I have no idea why but it happened like this. If we have more time, could be definitely better, a bit disappointed.

The show structure was wonderful! I enjoyed the interaction with the dancers before the meal. The staff's service was also very pleasant.

ショー構成素晴らしい！
ダンサーさんとの食事前の交流が楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々の対応も気持ち良かったです。

The friendly staff really gets everyone in a great mood. Watching the fireworks from a prime spot is the best. I'm engraving the view of Waikiki's night scenery into my heart during the cruise.
Be careful of the waves when boarding and disembarking; you might trip.

フレンドリーなstaff 皆でノリノリになります。花火を特等席で観られて、最高です。ワイキキの夜景を観ながらのクルージング目に心に焼き付けています。
乗船、下船する時、波に気を付けましょう、足元がすくわれます。

This was my second time participating alone! I'm a beginner at surfing. I had a private lesson at a different surf school once before, but the group lessons here are much more relaxed in terms of atmosphere and price, and I really like it! All the instructors are friendly, and we can enjoy chatting about surfing as well as various things about Hawaii! Depending on the day, there are instructors who can speak Japanese, and the flow of the lesson and important notes are explained in Japanese, which is reassuring. This seems like it will become my go-to in Honolulu!

1人で2回目の参加でした！サーフィン初心者です。以前1度別のサーフスクールでプライベートレッスンを受けたことがありますが、こちらのグループレッスンは雰囲気的にも価格的にもよりリラックスして参加でき、気にいっています！インストラクターの方もみなさんフレンドリーで、サーフィンのことはもちろん、ハワイのことなど色々お話ししながら楽しめます！日によりますが日本語が話せるインストラクターもいらっしゃり、レッスンの流れや注意事項の説明は日本語表記があるため安心です。私のホノルルでの定番になりそうです！

On October 29th, I participated in a show that I had been interested in for a while as a memory of my trip to Hawaii.

First, we enjoyed a meal while watching hula dancing, sipping on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks made with orange and fresh pineapple. The luxurious buffet-style dinner created a wonderful atmosphere where everyone was cheerful and friendly. The desserts, including coffee, fruits, and ice cream, were also very delicious.

During the showtime, we were treated to beautiful singing and authentic hula. I was captivated by the spectacular performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, making for an unforgettable night and a lovely memory.

10/29にハワイ旅行の記念に以前から気になっていたショーの参加をしました。
まずは、食事ですがオレンジに生パインのアルコールやノンアルをいただきながら、フラの踊りを観賞。そして豪華なビュッフェスタイルの夕食は、みんな和気あいあいでとても素敵な雰囲気でした。デザートもコーヒーや果物、アイスクリームもあって、とても美味しかった。
ショータイムは歌手の素敵な歌と本場フラ。
また、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーアップされた演出に心を奪われ感激の夜を過ごし、素敵な記念になりました。

It was really interesting and a great experience, but I was a bit scared and felt like I might fall, so I couldn't relax. My daughter was happily taking pictures with one hand, but I couldn't do it. When we arrived, my legs and back were shaking. I felt unsteady. However, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once.

とっても面白かったし、よい体験になりましたが、少し落ちそうで怖くて、余裕がありません。娘は、るんるんで片手で写真をとってるけど、私はだめ。着いたら足も腰もガタガタ。フラフラでした。でも、一度は体験する価値あり

Four years ago, my husband and I had the opportunity to experience this. We had such a wonderful time that this time, I was very happy to participate in the tour with our family of five, and it was incredibly fun. The instructor was very supportive of our grandchildren, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a tour we want to go on whenever we come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

今回、私達は夫婦は四年前に体験させて頂いております。とっても楽しい時間を過ごしましたので
今回は家族５人でツアー参加できた事、とっても嬉しかったですし、とっても楽しいかったです。
インストラクターのお姉さんが孫達をしっかりサポートしてくださっていたので、ありがたかったです。ハワイに来たら必ず行きたいツアーですね。ありがとうございました。

It was disappointing that some attractions were under maintenance and we couldn't experience them, but we had a really fun time. My grandchildren were also very happy. Some people might wonder why you would go to Hawaii just for a pool, but there aren't many pools like this in Japan, so I was very satisfied.

Also, since it was a plan with transportation included, I wasn't sure when to give the tip. I was hoping to meet the guide on the way back, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see her. I ended up giving the tip to the taxi driver, but I'm not sure what happens to that tip. We also went to the Heaven's Beach Sandbar this time, and since we received guidance on tipping there, I thought it would be the same this time, so it felt a bit off.

メンテナンス中のものがあり出来なかったのは残念でしたが、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすしました。孫達も大喜びでした。ハワイに来てプール？という人もいるかもしれないですが、日本にはなかなかこんなプールないので大変満足しました。
それから、送迎付きでのプランだったのですが、チップを渡すタイミングが分からなくて帰りガイドのお姉さんに会えると思って待っていましたが会えなくて残念でした。タクシーの方に渡しましたが、このチップはどうなるのか分からない部分です。今回も天国の海サンドバーにも行きましたがチップの案内をして貰えたので、また言って貰えるものだと思っていましたのでしっくりいかなかったです。

We had the best time with our group of 12 on the sunset catamaran cruise. Meet up at the hotel was easy to find. Boarding the boat was quick and efficient the ride out was a little choppy but we laughed our way thru the bumps a couple people were nauseous so if you get nauseous easily take something before.. The drinks were great and the bar service was too! They had a variety of drinks including local beer. The views were amazing. We took great pictures and enjoyed the sunset. I highly recommend and would definitely do it again

I was able to tour the North Shore for just over three hours, and it was really great. However, since I was participating alone, I felt some frustration with the driver's attitude and strong tone from the beginning.

3時間ちょっとノースショアを観光が出来て凄く良かったです。
ただひとりでの参加ということもあるかもしれませんが、始めからドライバーの方の態度や強い言い方にこちらも苛立ちを感じました。

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.
