All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

There is never anyone at the ticket booth, no matter when I go. When I asked the person at the neighboring booth, they said, "They're at the umbrella sales area outside." I would like to see improvements, such as putting up a sign with a map that says, "I'm here (at the umbrella area)" when no one is at the booth.

In the morning, it was quite crowded, and during the mid to late part of the day, many people were unable to board. Due to this and the traffic along the way, the bus from Ala Moana did not arrive for over 30 minutes, causing a huge line to form. Almost five buses arrived in a row once they started coming.

Well, I guess it can't be helped!

いつ行ってもチケット売り場に係員が居ない
隣のブースの人に聞いたら、「外のパラソルの売り場にいる」とのこと
売り場にいない時は、「ここ(パラソル)に居ます」と書いた地図付きの看板を
出すなど、改善して欲しい

朝はかなりの混み方で、中盤以降の乗り場では、乗り切れない人が多発していた
その影響や途中の渋滞のためか、アラモアナからの帰路は30分以上バスが来ず、
大行列が発生
バスが来始めた５台近く連続して到着

まあ仕方ないか！！

One amazing performance after another. There were breathtaking techniques and Hawaiian-style choreography, and before I knew it, it was already the end. I wanted to see it again and again. Please make sure to check it out at least once.

次から次へと素晴らしいパフォーマンスの連続です。息を吞む技やハワイらしい振り付けがあり、あっという間にラストになりました。何度でもみたいと思いました。是非一度ご覧下さい。

I use the trolley for various reasons every year. It's convenient. I think it's sufficient just for the area around Waikiki.

毎年トロリーを何かしらの理由で使っています。便利です。ワイキキ周辺だけであればこれで十分だと思います。

We had a great time touring the island without the need to rent a car. Our tour guide Stephanie was very friendly and knowledgeable and made our day a memorable experience. Definitely recommend this for a quick tour of a few of the popular places to visit on Oahu.

I was amazed by the size and facilities of the place. I was surprised to find such a magnificent facility with staff located quite far from Honolulu. I'm also grateful that a Japanese university student attended to us.

施設の大きさと設備に驚きました。
かなりホノルルから離れた場所に
こんな壮大な施設にスタッフがいて
びっくりしました。
日本人の大学生がアテンドしてくれたことも
感謝です。

I was able to enjoy a leisurely horseback ride. I was especially grateful for the good weather. It would have been tough if it had rained...

The city exploration is free, so it might be better to plan your own itinerary to some extent. I personally value being able to ride along the coast, so it was great for me, but I would say it might not be an experience I could recommend to everyone, as it may not suit all tastes.

ゆったり乗馬を楽しめました。天候に恵まれて何よりでした。これが雨だったら辛いたけかもしれない・・・。
街の散策はフリーなので、ある程度自分でプランを立てて参加したほうがいいかもしれせん。
私は海岸沿いを乗馬出来る事に価値を感じているのでいいのですが、全ての方におすすめ出来るかというと、人を選ぶ体験であると言えるかもしれません。

I recommend this for those who can purely enjoy a Segway. It's not about sightseeing in particular. You stroll along the beachside park, feeling the pleasant breeze. It's a relaxed way to participate on your first day of sightseeing after arriving from Japan, especially if you're still getting used to things.

セグウェイを純粋に楽しめる方におすすめです。どこを観光するというわけではありません。ビーチ沿いの公園を心地よい風に吹かれながら散策します。
日本から到着してまだ慣れない初日最初の観光として気楽〜に参加出来ます。

The magician is Japanese, so his English is easy to understand, and he occasionally incorporates Japanese into his performance. He is considerate of small children as well. Not only is his storytelling skill impressive, but the quality of the magic is also outstanding. I can confidently say it was the most entertaining experience I've had through Veltra.

Since it's a small room with only 27 audience members, the level of enjoyment may vary depending on the crowd. During my visit, the audience members really added to the experience and brought out the best in the performance!

日本人マジシャンなので英語も聞き取りやすく、時折日本語を交えての進行もしてくれます。小さいお子さんにも配慮が行き届いています。話術のみならずマジックのクオリティの高さも素晴らしい。ベルトラの体験のなかでは一番面白かったと言っていいレベルです。
小さな部屋で、観客も27名と限られているため、参加した客層でもかなり面白さが変わるかもしれません。私の時はお客さん達もとてもいい味を出して（引き出されて）ました！

For my first trip to Hawaii, I didn't have a good sense of the area, and since it was a night show, I looked for something close to the hotel and booked this show.

I recommend it for those who want to see and enjoy Polynesian dance and hula dance (though I'm not quite sure of the difference). The performance features dancers and singers alternating while changing costumes.

The impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, who are well-known in America, performed their classic hits with impressive portrayals.

The venue was located inside a shopping center, so I was able to stroll through the center on my way back, and I felt safe enough that I didn't have to worry about security.

初ハワイ旅行で土地勘がないこと、ナイトショーなので、帰路を考慮してホテルから近い場所で探してこちらのショーを予約しました。

ポリネシアンダンス、フラダンス(違いがよく分かってませんが)をとりあえず見てみたい、楽しみたい方におすすめです。
ダンスとシンガーが交代で衣装を変えつつ演目を進める形です。
アメリカでは知らない人はいないエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのモノマネさんが往年のヒット曲を披露、特徴を捉えた演出でした。

会場はショッピングセンターの中でしたので、帰りはショッピングセンター内を散策しながら帰ることができましたし、治安は心配するほどではなかったのでよかったです。

I had never gone horseback riding before and was very anxious because I couldn't speak English. However, once I arrived at Kualoa Ranch, I had no trouble with English at all! When I went, the weather was bad and it was drizzling. I had brought a raincoat that I bought at a 100 yen store, but before riding, I found that there were helmets (which are mandatory) and raincoats (available for anyone who wanted to borrow one), so I borrowed one of those! I got caught in a downpour and my pants got completely soaked, but thanks to the raincoat, my upper clothes stayed completely dry.

The horseback riding was so easy because the horses were incredibly well-behaved. I didn't have to give any commands; I just got to sit on their backs and enjoy the scenery! The instructor spoke to us with a smile and even mixed in some Japanese when giving instructions!

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch!

今まで乗馬をした事がなく、英語も話せないためとても不安でした。ですが、クアロアランチに着いてから英語で困ることは一切ありませんでした！私が行った時は天気が悪く雨がぱらついていました。事前に百均で買ったレインコートを持って行っていたのですが、乗馬前にヘルメット(必須)とレインコート(借りたい人だけ自由に取る)があったのでそちらを借りて行きました！途中でスコールにあいズボンはびしょびしょになりましたが上の洋服はレインコートのおかげで全く濡れませんでした。
乗馬は、お馬さんたちがとーーってもお利口さんなので、特にこちらが指示を出したりすることなくただ背中に乗せてもらって景色を眺めるだけでした！インストラクターの方も笑顔ではなしてくださり、指示を出す時には日本語を交えて話してくれます！
またハワイに行く機会があったら必ずクアロアランチの乗馬に行きたいと思いました！

There are many water slide attractions that even adults can enjoy. This time, I didn't try the bodyboarding attraction, but it also looked interesting. I only had about 4 to 5 hours to stay because of the bus schedule, but I wanted to play more.

ウォータースライダー系のアトラクションが多く、大人でも楽しめる。今回、ボディボードのアトラクションはやらなかったが、これも面白そうでした。バスの時間があったので4~5時間しか滞在出来なかったが、もっと遊びたかった。

This is a plan that provides round-trip transportation from hotels in the Honolulu area to the trailhead at Diamond Head Park. I don't usually exercise, but I found that one hour each way, or two hours round trip, is more than enough. You can also enjoy views of the streets of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, so I highly recommend experiencing it at least once. Our guide, Orlando, was kind and attentive, making the experience very enjoyable.

ホノルル界隈のホテルからダイアモンドヘッド公園にある登山口までを往復で送迎してくれるプランです。
日頃運動をしない私ですが、片道で1時間あれ、往復で2時間あれば充分です。
ホノルルの街並みやパールハーバーなども見渡せるので、一度は経験させることをお薦めします。
ガイドのオランドさんも優しく気配りのできた方で、非常に楽しかったです。

The venue was located in Waikiki, and although it was small and within walking distance from the hotel, we were able to see everything up close, which made it very impressive. It was definitely worth the high price to see! The performance, which involved the audience, was also a lot of fun.

場所もWaikikiで、ホテルから歩いて行ける場所で会場は狭いのですがその分近くで見られてとても迫力がありました。
高いお金を出しても見る価値ありました！観客も巻き込んでのパフォーマンスも楽しかったです。

I used the first flight on the morning of December 30th for the New Year's holiday. The captain spoke in English, but then a female staff member named Izumi kindly explained everything in Japanese, which made my first snorkeling experience worry-free.

The weather was a bit cold, and it rained partway through, but not only were we able to see many sea turtles, we also got to swim with them.

There were other tours with various options that I considered, but I'm glad I chose Captain Cruise!

年末年始（12月30日）の朝一便を利用しました。
キャプテンは英語を使用されますがその後で女性スタッフのイズミさんが日本語で丁寧に説明してくださり、初めてのシュノーケリングも不安なく体験できました。

天候は少し寒く、雨も途中降ったりしましたが、ウミガメを沢山見ることができただけでなく、一緒に泳ぐことも出来ました。

色んなオプションが付く他社ツアーもあり、悩みましたが、キャプテンクルーズを選んでよかったです！

If you can view the sightseeing of Oahu from the sky as just that, it can be a very enjoyable activity. However, if you are expecting to actually pilot the aircraft, it’s better not to have overly high expectations. Basically, you are just holding the controls and guiding a little. You won’t be able to move the controls yourself. Enjoy the sightseeing from the sky without expecting to pilot the aircraft.

空からのオアフ島観光と割り切れれば、非常に楽しいアクティビティと思います。
ただ体験操縦を期待されるなら、過度に期待されない方が良いと思います。
基本、舵を握っている、手を添えているだけです。舵を動かすことはできません。
体験操縦を期待せずに、空からの観光を楽しんでください。

It was fun, but it was cold. The winter on December 30th was chilly. I recommend bringing extra clothes that can get wet. I want to go in the summer.

楽しかったけど寒かった。
12/30の冬は寒かった。濡れてもいい服を余分に持っていくのがおすすめ。
夏に行きたいな。

The food was average, or rather, it was just ordinary and sufficient. However, the show was incredibly powerful, and the dancing and singing were at a pro level, which moved me deeply. I definitely want you to see it.

食事は普通というか、ありきたりで満たせればいいかなぐらいですがショーは大迫力で踊りと歌唱力はブロレベルで感動しました。
ぜひ観てもらいたいです。

I was worried about whether my 11-year-old child could ride a Segway, and I even had a dream the night before about falling. However, when they tried it, I was surprised to see that they were the best in the family! If they can ride a bike, they should be fine! The anxiety is only at first; adults get used to it quickly. I think it's definitely worth a try!

１１才の子供がセグウェイに乗れるか不安なせいか前日に転ぶ夢を見てしまいましたが、乗ってみると家族で一番上手くてビックリしました。自転車に乗れるようなら大丈夫そうです！
不安は最初だけ、すぐ大人でも慣れます。
やってみる価値はあると思いますよ！

Wonderful experience swimming with the turtles. But I was struggling with light headedness and nausea. The lifeguard and crew were so caring and sensitive. They encouraged me to stay out in the water as long as I felt confident but then took me back to the boat via the surf board when it was too much. I was given a ginger ale to sip on and the team frequently checked on me. Always encouraging and supportive. I never felt shamed or ridiculed. Thank you

The name "Kualoa Ranch" is a bit difficult to say, but the tour was great. Since it was sunny, everything looked beautiful. The guide was a mix of a lively person and someone a bit shy, which created a nice balance.

クアロアランチという名前が言いにくいですが、ツアーは良かったです。
晴れていたので全てが綺麗に見えました。
ガイドもパリピの人と若干シャイな人でバランスが取れてて良かったです

Kilauea was hard to see due to the rain, but I was satisfied with everything else. The video of the eruption that I got from the guide was really great. I was especially happy to see the stars at night.

キラウエアは雨のためよく見えませんでしたが、それ以外は満足です。
ガイドさんからもらった噴火してる時の動画はめっちゃ良かったです
夜も星が見られて何よりです

We had a wonderful family trip! The experience was smooth and enjoyable, and the crews were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing and fun getaway!

I used a good seat in the center, but the venue was compact, so it felt like you could see well from any seat! The show itself was enjoyable and satisfying. However, the air conditioning in the venue was quite strong. I was wearing a windbreaker, but since I had on shorts, it was too cold, and I started to feel the urge to go to the restroom, which made it hard to concentrate as the show went on. 😫

In conclusion, it's best to bring long sleeves, long pants, a windbreaker, and a scarf!

席は中央の良い席を利用しましたが、
会場はコンパクトでどの席でもよく見れる感じでした！
ショー自体は楽しく満足いく内容です♪
会場はかなり空調がキツく、ウィンドブレーカーは着ていましたが半パンだったので
寒過ぎてトイレに行きたくなり、途中から集中力が切れがちになりました😫

結果
長袖、ロングパンツ、ウィンドブレーカー、ストール
など持参すればOK！

My high school daughter participated in a group lesson by herself. She was assigned to a group of three with one instructor who kindly taught even beginners, and she was able to ride some big waves! She came back very satisfied. She also saw a sea turtle. It was her first trip to Hawaii, and it was a very valuable experience. Thank you very much.

高校生の娘がひとりでグループレッスンに参加しました。3人グループに1人のインストラクターが付いて初心者にも優しく教えてくださり、大きめの波にも乗れた！と大満足で帰ってきました。ウミガメも見れたそうです。初めてのハワイ旅行でとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。

All the tour guides were so personable and helpful. The view was stunning. If you are visiting Oahu, this tour is a must...The buffet was so tasty and healthy

I was able to experience both the sea and the mountains in a compact way. The two guides were kind, and I was able to ask various questions since they were Japanese. It was meaningful to enjoy so much in just the morning.

海む山もコンパクトに体験できました。ガイドのお二人も親切ですし日本の方で色々質問できました。午前のみでここまで堪能でき有意義でした。

The hosts were knowledgeable, accommodating, and so kind. We loved the stress free experience.

I participated in early December, and unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly and rainy, but I still had a great time. There were beautiful coral reefs nearby, and fish were swimming right in front of me. Just peeking into the water was captivating, and while enjoying other activities, time flew by quickly. During the round trip to the sandbar, there was also a performance by the crew, and the captain and crew's stories were entertaining as well.

参加日は12月初旬あいにく肌寒く、雨も降るイマイチな天候でしたがそれでも存分に楽しめました。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が近くにあり、目の前を魚が回遊しています。海中を覗くだけで夢中になれますし、他のアクティビティも堪能していると、あっという間に時間がなくなります。
サンドバーまでの往復中も、クルーの演奏もあり、また船長やクルーたちのお話も面白かったです。

I had signed up for a clear kayak and snorkeling experience, but due to the possibility of rain, I was given the option to cancel at the last minute or switch to a regular kayak. Since I had already arranged a rental car from Waikiki to Haleiwa and everything was planned, I couldn't cancel. As a result, I ended up with just the regular kayak for two hours, which was quite boring. In the end, the weather improved on the day, and it didn't rain, plus the waves weren't high, but I still couldn't do the clear kayak and snorkeling.

Additionally, I received a text the day before asking me to look for a white truck, and since the company operated with just one truck, there was no office building at the meeting point. The way it was described during the booking made it seem like there would be a building, which caused quite a bit of confusion. I was told that if I came in the summer, I could do the clear kayak and snorkeling, but I wanted to combine it with the Honolulu Marathon, so I came in the winter. If it says that clear kayaking and snorkeling are available, I really hoped they would do their best to provide those activities.

申し込んだクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ず、雨が降るかもということで直前にキャンセルするかレギュラーカヤックにするかの選択肢を出され、ワイキキからハレイワへのレンタルカーも用意してすべて計画済の後だったのでキャンセルするわけにもいかず、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングの料金でレギュラーカヤックだけとなりそれが2時間で退屈なものとなった。結局当日天気は持ち直し雨も降らず波も高くなかったがクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングはしてもらえなかった。また前日にショートメールが来て白いトラックを探してくれということで、トラック1台で運用してる会社だったので、集合場所に事務所的な建物はなく、申込時は建物があるような書き方だったので、かなり混乱すると思います。夏に来ればクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来るのにと言われたが、ホノルルマラソンと合わせたかったので冬に来たが、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ると書くのであれば、極力クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングを実施してほしかった。

I had a great time horseback riding at the filming location of Jurassic Park. After two hours of riding, I felt a bit of muscle soreness between my legs, but I recovered within half a day. It's also possible to take photos with your smartphone while riding.

ジュラシックパークの撮影現場を乗馬をしながら、とても楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。2時間乗馬をすると、股の間が少し筋肉痛になりましたが、半日で回復いたしました。乗馬をしながらのスマホでの写真撮影も可能です。
