All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Last year, when I came to Hawaii, I rode a Segway for the first time and had so much fun, so this year I participated for the second time. A flashy van picked me up at the hotel, so I recognized it right away. When we arrived at the shop, we started with signing the consent forms and then put on helmets, and each person began practicing slowly. Since I rode last year, I was surprisingly able to get on easily. The Japanese-speaking instructor was very friendly and engaging. Participants wear headsets, so we can always hear the instructor, which is reassuring. We actually rode on the road, going from Ala Moana Beach Park around Magic Island and checking out the art in Kaka'ako! It was so much fun that I want to ride again! Finally, I gave a tip and was taken back to the hotel!

昨年ハワイに来た時に初めてセグウェイに乗って楽しかったので今年も2回目の参加となりました。ホテルに派手なバンで迎えに来てくれたので直ぐに分かりました。店に着いたらまず承諾書のサインなどから始まりヘルメットを着けて一人一人ゆっくり練習が始まります。昨年乗ったので意外とすんなり乗れました。日本語の上手な日系のインストラクターさんが楽しく話してくれます。参加者はインカムを付けているのでインストラクターの話は常に聞こえるので安心です。実際に道路を走ってアラモアナビーチパークからマジックアイランドを回ってカカアコのアートなどを回りました！
楽しいのでまた乗りたいです！
最後にチップを渡してホテルまで送ってもらいました！

we were provided with a good narrative as we visited the various iconic sights of the Hawaiin island. Enjoyed the sights and the tour director makes it most interesting.

I think there are several catamarans, but the 1.5-hour ride was just right. The reception was easy to find as it was located on the 1st floor of the Outrigger Reef Hotel. The staff maintained a good distance, which I appreciated. The boat also had a restroom. I was worried about seasickness, but it was a clear day with calm waves, so I didn't get splashed and enjoyed a pleasant breeze during the fun cruising. Although I didn't see any sea turtles or dolphins, I was very satisfied with the views of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea. I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once.

カタマランはいくつかあるかと思うのですが、乗船時間が1時間半なのが丁度良かったです。受付もアウトリガーリーフホテル1Fにお店が入っていて分かりやすかったです。スタッフの方も良い距離感で、有り難かったです。船にはお手洗いもありました。船酔いが心配でしたが、快晴で波も静かな日だったので、海水が掛かることもなく、気持ち良い風を感じて楽しいクルージングでした。ホヌやイルカは見れませんでしたが、海からのホノルルやダイヤモンドヘッドを見れて大満足です。是非一度体験して欲しいです。

This was my second time doing the sand bar. Amazing Time! Crew was great and the experience was better. There were so many activity options in a safe environment. The music was better than expected.

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.

This was absolutely amazing and so much fun!!

Everything was okay, the server forgot to bring the welcome drink to us for more than 30 mins until we reminded him.

Really well organised activity with Kaimana Tours. Our driver Koa was excellent, providing lots of insights to the surroundings during our drive there. Pickup was on time, in a comfortable spacious van. We arrived and were first in line to get tickets which was simple and organised. The snorkeling gear was great, both sizing and quality for what we needed. I’d recommend going on the 6am pickup, as by the time we left at 11, it was getting really busy and there were not many places with shade. Kaimana offer umbrellas & chairs for hire too.

My friend and I enjoyed it so much ! It's 3 hrs fun! Book now and you won't regret it. It has free sandwich for lunch and juice but you can bring your own food too and your alcohol! Yay!

Great shark diving experience. First time doing it and was not scared with this group. Would not have been able to experience it otherwise.

Both my wife and I are in our late 50s, while the other two couples are younger. Although we both ride motorcycles, we were a bit worried about keeping up with the younger crowd. After a brief 10-minute lecture, we were ready to ride. I think the Japanese guide was very good at teaching.

Since we ride standing up, the view is great, and we moved at a jogging pace, which allowed us to look around leisurely. At Ala Moana Beach Park, we were allowed to go onto the grass, and it was a fun experience being waved at by people sunbathing on benches while also being chased away by park rangers.

The weather was nice, but the sun was strong, so I put on a UV-cut parka. The feeling of riding was indescribably strange; the sound of the motor just echoed with a whoosh. Without hard tires and suspension, the bumps in the road were transmitted directly to us.

We even had someone take a video of us while riding, and with a break in between, the roughly two hours flew by. Including tips, it was quite an expense, but it turned out to be a unique experience. I would love to ride again.

I ended up feeling really full with just three dishes, including dessert! Haha.
The last dessert was about twice the size I imagined, and I was surprised—this must be the American size!
All the flavors suited my taste, and I enjoyed everything deliciously. ✨

デザート含め全部で3品なのにめちゃくちゃお腹いっぱいになりました！笑
最後のデザートが想像の倍くらいの大きさでこれがアメリカンサイズか…！とビックリしました
味はどれも自分に合っていて美味しく頂けました✨

I had seen the Jurassic Park movie, and it truly felt like being in the world of the film. It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was well-trained and there were no issues at all. I was able to enjoy the scenery in a cute and relaxed way.

ジュラシックパークの映画を見たことがありましたが、まさに映画の中の世界。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、お馬さんも慣れており全く問題なし。
可愛くてのんびりと景色を楽しむことができました。

The weather was perfect! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was still very enjoyable. My husband and I wore sneakers, which was a mistake. It's better to wear flip-flops or something similar. Also, if you go to the front of the boat, be prepared to get wet from the splashes; wearing something that can get wet makes it much more fun. My daughter and I were in regular clothes, but we enjoyed the thrill and the stunning views while getting completely soaked!

お天気にも恵まれて最高でした！残念ながらイルカには会えませんでしたがとても良かったです。夫とわたしはスニーカーを履いて行きましたがそれは失敗。ビーサンなどで行くのが良いです。また船の先端は水しぶきが凄く濡れてもいい格好で行くととても楽しめます。娘と私は普通の洋服でしたがずぶ濡れになりながらスリルと絶景を楽しんでいました！

The meaning of the title is something that those who have taken this tour would understand. I had the valuable experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors. At first, it felt nice to ride, but after two hours, it felt a bit long. For those who have never ridden a horse, it might be tough, so taking a buggy or bus might be better. Also, I found that there weren't as many tourist attractions at Kualoa Ranch as I expected, and when you opt for the shuttle service, the waiting time felt long. For those who are used to using Uber, I think choosing a plan without the shuttle would allow for more freedom of movement.

タイトルの意味は、このツアーに行った方であればわかると思います。大自然の中を馬に乗りながら進むという貴重な経験ができました。最初は気持ち良く馬に乗っていたのですが、2時間は少し長いと感じました。馬に乗ったことがない方は乗馬がキツイと感じるかもしれないため、バギーやバスの方が良いかもしれません。また、クアロアランチは思っていたよりも観光するところがなく、送迎付きにすると待ち時間が長く感じました。Uberを使うのに慣れている方は、送迎なしのプランにした方が自由に動けるので良いかなと思いました。

I booked the show and dinner course. The variety of dishes was plentiful, and there were Japanese staff members, which made me feel comfortable while dining. The taste was neither particularly good nor bad... but there were local flavor menu items, which was nice. The show was story-driven and absolutely fantastic! It's worth seeing at least once. However, this plan does not include the admission fee for the Polynesian Cultural Center, so if you want to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, there will be an additional charge. It's a somewhat reasonable amount (I was surprised when I paid, haha), so if you have time to spare, it's fine, but considering the meal time in this tour, you won't be able to fully enjoy all the areas... Still, it was quite fun.

ショーとディナーのコースを申し込みました。
料理は品数も多く、日本人のスタッフもいて安心して食事できました。味は可もなく不可もなく…でもご当地の味付けメニューもあり良かったです。
ショーは物語仕立てで最高でした！一見の価値有りです。
ただ、このプランにはポリネシアンカルチャーセンターの入場料は含まれてませんのでポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを見たい方は別に料金がかかります。まぁまぁな金額なので(払ってビックリw)、時間に余裕のある方はいいですが、このツアーで食事の時間など考えるとすべてのエリアを十分に楽しむことはできません… でもなかなか楽しかったです。

There are 10 of us. We didn’t really know what to expect but we had such a blast. The staff was very friendly. Bring a towel just in case get wet or feel cold.

I booked a tour for the day I arrived in Honolulu. The feeling of sailing out and catching the wind was amazing. We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a wonderful sunset. The staff was friendly and immediately checked in when our drinks were running low. As the tour was coming to an end, someone stood up and started singing and dancing to the background music. I had a truly wonderful time.

ホノルル到着日のツアーを申し込みました。
沖に出てからの帆を張っての快走は最高の気分です。
天気にも恵まれて素晴らしい夕日を見ることが出来ました。
スタッフもフレンドリーで飲み物が無くなりそうになると直ぐに声掛けしてくださいます。
ツアーが終わりに差し掛かった頃、誰ともなく立ち上がってBGMに合わせて歌い、踊りだしました。
とても素晴らしい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

The staff was fun, and we quickly made our way to the sandbar. The sea was beautiful, and it became a memorable experience! Thank you very much.

スタッフさんも楽しくってあっという間にサンドバーへ
海は綺麗だし思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました。

Great crew! Very helpful and kind. Well organized and made sure everyone was safe , comfortable and had a great experience. Great price for the experience!!

This was my third visit. Some attractions were closed, which was disappointing, but I was able to ride Tornado and Shaka three times each. The staff were all cheerful and friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time. I especially appreciated the thoughtful care from the Japanese woman at the reception, who embodied the spirit of hospitality. I definitely want to go again next year!

今回3回目でした。アトラクションはいくつか閉鎖中で、残念でしたが、トルネードとシャカを3回ずつ出来ました。スタッフはみんな陽気でフレンドリーて、とても楽しい時間でした。特に受付係の日本人女性の方が、おもてなし精神で細やかな配慮をして頂きありがたかったですヨ^_^
来年も是非行きたいと思います♪

The sandbar is very beautiful, and you can also meet sea turtles. You can enjoy both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. We opted for a private boat rental plan, but before COVID, it included lunch, which is no longer the case now.

サンドバーはとても綺麗で、ウミガメにも会えます。シュノーケリングもSUPも楽しめます。ボート貸し切りプランにしましたが、コロナ前はランチ付きだったのが、今はありません。

Every time we go to Hawaii, we participate in this zip line tour. The views while zip lining are amazing! The guide speaks only English. My husband and I don't speak any English at all, but we still have a great time.

ハワイに行く度、こちらのジップラインに参加します。ジップラインをしながら見る景色は最高です！ガイドは英語のみです。私達夫婦は全く英語できませんが、それでも楽しめます。

This was my favorite part of my visit to Oahu! The views are stunning! An absolute must see. Both my boyfriend and I had never gone snorkeling before, but this tour made it very simple, safe, and fun for us. The staff are all friendly and helpful. A must do if you are visiting the beautiful island of Oahu.

It's hard to decide which experience to choose, but the electric assist mountain bikes are easy to ride even for us (a couple in our 50s) who don't ride bicycles regularly, and we can easily climb hills. Just be careful with sudden brakes on downhill slopes. We stopped at recommended spots along the way. The local staff were also very courteous in guiding us. Our clothes didn't get too dirty either. Above all, riding a mountain bike is truly the best way to experience Kualoa. The atmosphere allows for natural smiles and interactions with the foreign guests we were with. Unfortunately, our English skills... we couldn't fully understand the staff's detailed explanations at those spots.

どの体験をするか迷いますが、電動アシストマウンテンバイクは日頃自転車に乗っていない私達（50代夫婦）も容易に運転ができしかも楽に坂道も登れます。降り坂は急ブレーキに注意。途中オススメのスポットには停車。現地スタッフの方々も丁寧に案内してくれます。服装もさほど汚れることはありません。何と言ってもクアロアを肌で感じるには本当にマウンテンバイクは最高です。途中から同行の外国人の方々とも自然に笑顔を交わせるような雰囲気になります。残念なのは私達の英語力…。スタッフの方のそのスポットでの丁寧な説明が理解出来ず。

The crew was very attentive and made sure that we were safe and comfortable. This was my first sail and was a little nervous; but the crew was very helpful and reassured me. We would definitely do it again.

This is an attraction where you can take a buggy tour around Kualoa Ranch, which is also the setting for Jurassic World! It felt like stepping into the movie, providing an incredibly extraordinary experience! The tour is conducted in English only, and since your clothes can get muddy, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes and some face wash!

ジュラシックワールドの舞台にもなっているクアロア牧場をバギーで1周するアトラクションです！！
まるで映画の中に入ったかのような臨場感でとても非日常の体験ができました！！
ツアーの案内が英語のみなのと、服が泥だらけになるので、着替えや洗顔など持参した方が良いかもです！

It was my first experience surfing, but with the guidance of Hans and Edd, I was able to stand up right away. They also captured it well on video, making it a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it!

サーフィン初体験でしたが、Hansさん、Eddさんの手ほどきですぐに立つことが出来ました。動画にもしっかり撮ってくれて、とても素晴らしい思い出になりました。おすすめです！

Great experience out with the boat crew in Sandbar. Music was great and the entire crew shared the mahalo spirit. Definitely recommend getting to harbor early for parking. I had to park on street but you can safely with other cars.

I was able to see about 3 turtles and an octopus. They don’t go too far out and it’s a pretty quick trip if you want to see some sea life and also do other things with your day. The catamaran ride was smooth and I enjoyed the short ride. Had a cocktail on our way back. Crew was friendly and couldn’t ask for a better time. Oh the music was great too!!
