All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

I am so glad my friends and I booked this! Check-in was easy, you don't have to lug a kayak anywhere yourself bc it's there ready to go, easy-to-follow map/instructions and you get plenty of time on the water. I'll do this again for sure!

This was a great experience. The Captain was very attentive (I didn’t know how to snorkel but he took the time to try and guide me) the staff was super helpful and informative. They provided snacks and coffee. The water was beautiful and we saw lots of turtles. I would highly recommend this tour you will love it.

You can experience piloting a Cessna aircraft with hotel pick-up included. The price is likely reasonable, and I think the cost performance is very good. The office is located on the front side of the hangar, and it was a very clean place that felt like a lobby. I was particularly surprised by the cleanliness of the restroom; it was very well maintained. Most of the pilots seem to be local staff, but all the transportation and assistance were provided by Japanese individuals or those who are extremely proficient in Japanese.

ホテルからの送迎付きでセスナ機の操縦体験ができます。
おそらく価格も抑えられていてコストパフォーマンスは大変いいのではないかと思います。
事務所は格納庫の表側にありますが、ロビーという感じのとてもキレイなところでした。特にトイレの綺麗さには驚くばかり。手入れが行き届いています。
パイロットの多くは現地スタッフのようですが、送迎や対応は全て日本人あるいは日本が極めて堪能な方々でした。

Amazing!!!! Great tour, including seeing multiple whale contacts.
Weather and boat were awesome, and the crew were amazing, being informative and making sure all the guests were happy and involved.
This was our second year of touring with this catamaran and even though I do not really like the water, it was fun, relaxing, and thrilling all at the same time.

Hopefully will have another one soon! Everything was great!

Truly the best day ever! So much fun on this boat…fun and friendly crew, amazing musicians, tons of activities…couldn’t have asked for anything more! Super family friendly but also great for an adult day of fun. You can bring your own cooler with alcoholic beverages and your own food to ensure you have whatever you need on board. I only wish it had been longer!

It was very cold from the morning, just as I expected. I was disappointed when the thunder started halfway through, but the live performance quickly lifted the gloomy atmosphere!

朝からとても寒く、予想通りでした。
途中から雷も鳴り始めがっかりしていましたが、生演奏などで落ち込んでいた雰囲気も一気に晴れました！

The flight was amazing! They provided transportation to the hotel in Waikiki, and the office inside the airport was a lovely place, with very kind staff.

We were excited to board the four-seater Cessna! With a double pilot setup, the takeoff and landing were handled by a real pilot. Once we were up and settled, we switched controls, and it felt really good!

Even just sitting in the back and looking at the beautiful scenery was more than enough. We got to see Lanikai Beach, the angelic sea, the North Shore, Diamond Head, Coco Head, and Pearl Harbor—all in one hour.

I think it’s better to take the Cessna than to arrange sightseeing all over the place!

Thank you!

空の旅は、サイコーでした
ワイキキのホテルまで送迎して頂き、空港内の事務所もステキな場所で、スタッフの皆さまもとても親切でした。
ワクワクドキドキ4人乗りセスナへ！

ダブルパイロットになっていて、離着陸は、本当のパイロットさんがしてくださいます。上に上がって落ち着いたら、操縦交代。なかなか、気分良かったです❣️
また、乗って、後ろの座席から眼科の世界を見ているだけでも、充分満足ラニカイビーチも天使の海もノースショアーも、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ココヘッド、パールハーバー、丸ごと全部見せてくれます。1時間で

あちこち観光を手配せず、セスナに乗る方が良いと思いました！

ありがとうございました

The friendliest crew, amazing musicians, fun activities, and beautiful scenery! Wonderful afternoon on our last day of vacation. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

What a fantastic evening we had at Aloha Kai Luau! The stunning venue located on the lawn area of Sea Life Park boasts breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean overlooking Makapuu Beach - it's truly something special. This intimate luau experience is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds of other shows in Oahu. Families with little ones will love the pre-show cultural activities that are both fun and educational.

The venue is situated on the lush lawn area of Sea Life Park and offers stunning views of both mountains and the ocean overlooking Makapuu Beach. The drive itself is an adventure, passing by breathtaking sights on the way. While the seating arrangement could be improved slightly for a more comfortable experience, every seat offers a great view of the show.

Dinner was delicious with plenty of options for everyone. The bar offers beers, wine, seltzers, and mai tai cocktails and there are two premium cocktails options as well.
The show is a great experience and the dancers are incredibly talented. The torch ceremony and fire knife show were my personal favorites. Overall, this is an evening not to be missed!

I rode the smallest mountain bike. It was tough at first, but once I got used to it, it was a breeze. I rode 9.5 kilometers, and since it was electric, I didn't get tired at all going uphill! I was worried about the weather in the morning, but by the time of the activity, it had cleared up completely, and the greenery of the mountains was even more beautiful. The color of the sea from the high ground was incredibly stunning and moving!

However, the path was muddy, and the splashes from the bike tires were quite something. It was a rare experience to get muddy at my age. Since the weather was uncertain, it was a good idea to bring a change of clothes (there are paid lockers available in the park that you can access). My bag was also a waterproof one, which was a smart choice. My daughter was able to borrow a bike, so I think it's fine if you don't have one.

Since there were only two participants, we could enjoy our time and take photos freely. The guide spoke only in English, but it was very easy to understand, so it worked out. I think anyone who can ride a bike normally can participate; it felt amazing to cut through the wind and ride through Kualoa!

マウンテンバイクは一番小さいのに乗りました。
最初に乗る時は苦労しましたが、慣れてきたら余裕でした。9.5キロも走りましまが、電動なので坂も全然疲れません！朝から天気が心配されましたが、アクティビティの時間にはすっかりお天気になり、山の緑がいっそうキレイでした、高台からの海の色もめちゃくちゃキレイて感動！
ただ、道がねかるんでいて、自転車のタイヤからの泥はねがすごかったです。この歳でどろんこになる貴重な体験でした。お天気があやしかったので着替えを持って行っていたのが正解でした(園内に出し入れ可能な有料ロッカーあります)。カバンもウォーターバックでしたので、それも正解。娘は貸してもらえてましたので、無くても大丈夫だと思います。
参加が2人だけでしたので、時間や写真も自由にフリーの状態て楽しめました。ガイドは英語のみですが、とても聞き取りやすく、何とかなりました。
自転車に普通に乗れる人でしたら参加可能だと思います、風を切ってクアロアを走り抜けるのは最高に気持ち良かったです。

I participated in a group boat tour 10 years ago. It was such a great memory that I initially hoped to join a group boat again this time, but it was sold out a week before the tour. Since I really wanted to go, I reserved a private boat. Of course, it was more expensive, but it was worth it.

• Since it was a speedboat, we could get to the location faster than the group boat, and we were able to play for about an extra hour after the group boat had left.
• They prioritized letting us use the stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and other equipment, so we could play as much as we wanted. That feeling of being prioritized was incredible.
• A professional Japanese guide accompanied us, sharing information about the tour, Hawaii, and the pandemic. They played with us beforehand like a member of the family.
• They took care of arrangements for the restroom after landing and monitored our rental car.

Of course, the beauty of the sandbar was amazing, but I’m really glad I chose the private boat.

10年前に団体ボートで参加しました。良い思い出だったので、今回も団体ボートを最初は希望したのですが、ツアー開催の1週間前でSOLDOUT。どうしても行きたかったので貸切ボートを予約しました。もちろん費用は高かったですが、それ以上の価値はありました。
•高速ボートなので、団体ボートよりも早く現地に行けて、帰りも団体ボートが帰ったあとも遊べたので1時間くらいは追加で遊べた気がする。
•SAP、シュノーケル、遊具等優先して使わせてくれるので遊び放題。その優遇感はハンパない。
•日本人のプロのアテンドが付くので、このツアーのことはもちろん、ハワイのこと、パンデミックのこと教えてくれる。家族の一員みたいに事前に一緒に遊んでくれる。
•着岸後のトイレの手配とか、レンタカーの見守りとか、やってくれる。
もちろん、サンドバーの美しさは素晴らしかったですが、貸切ボートにして本当に良かったです。

My family and I really enjoyed our tour. The scenery is astonishing. Mesmerising view. Our tour guide/driver Precious was very entertaining, friendly, and enthusiastic. Hopefully we can back again to try other tours.

My 3 teen daughters and I had a great trip. Julia was a fantastic tender and our capain was so helpful all around. The BBQ was enjoyed by all. We made 3 mini stops along the way, first at the sandbar, next at a turtle watching spot and finally snorkeling where we saw 2 turtles and a ton of fish. Highly recommend!!

The tour guide is very nice, given a lot of information about which movies were filming at which spots.

After making a reservation through VELTRA, I received an SMS with information in English about the meeting place and consent form. It might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English.

On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy and it was quite windy, which caused the boat to sway a lot, and I felt seasick the entire time. Although drinks were unlimited, I didn't feel like drinking alcohol in such rough conditions, so it was hard to get my money's worth.

Because of the clouds, I couldn't see much of the sunset either. Overall, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointing trip.

VELTRA経由で予約した後にSMSで英語の集合場所や同意書に関する案内が来ました。英語がわからないとややハードルが高いかもしれません。

乗った日の天候は曇りかつ風が強かったためか、船がものすごく揺れまして、始終船酔いでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、この揺れの中でお酒をガンガン飲む気分にはなれず、元を取るのは難しいと思われます。

曇りのためあまり夕日も見れず。
ちょっとがっかりな旅になりました。

Definitely need sunscreen! We enjoyed this tour, especially the historic importance of the place. Take a lot pictures.

We loved this tour. We were able to do some sightseeing and enjoyed a full day at PCC. The drivers were great too, very knowledgeable.

The next time we visit, I'll probably pick a different tour. The views great but nothing spectacular at all.

We had a great day touring Oahu with Travis. We hit many scenic stops and several food stops. This was a fun way to tour the island and learn about the history and culture. I would highly recommend doing this tour.

It was a wonderful experience. The local taxi driver mentioned that one hour wasn't enough, but two hours was quite physically demanding. The guide who accompanied us (a part-time trainer?) spoke English, so it was simple English, but I couldn't understand the warnings when I didn't catch what was being said, and I had to interpret and convey it to the participants. There wasn't much guidance regarding the filming locations; it felt like we were just riding horses. The horses were very smart and occasionally took off running, but they would slow down properly when they caught up to the horse in front. The next day, I had such muscle soreness that walking was difficult, but since I was just returning home, it wasn't a particular problem. I went with my 12-year-old daughter, and she really liked the calm horse and enjoyed herself. Since she is part of a sports club, it seems she didn't have any muscle soreness at all.

とても素晴らしい体験でした。
地元のタクシー運転手が１時間じゃ物足りなかったと言っていましたが、２時間はかなり体力がいりました。
一緒に回るガイド（調教するアルバイト？）も英語なため、簡単な英語でしたが聞き取れないと注意されている内容が分からず、参加しているこちらが通訳して伝える必要がありました。ロケ地に対してはガイドもなく、ひたすらに乗馬をしている感じです。馬はとても賢く、ときどき走り出しましたが、前の馬に追いつくとちゃんとゆっくりになってくれます。
翌日、筋肉痛で歩くのが難しいくらいでしたが帰国だけだったので特に問題はありませんでした。
１２歳の娘と行きましたが、娘も大人しい馬をとても気に入り、楽しんでいました。もともと運動部に所属しているので、彼女は筋肉痛は全くなかったようです。

This time, I participated in a limited-capacity monitor show without meals, along with my girlfriend on her first overseas trip. I initially thought there would be many Japanese tourists, but over 80% of the audience was foreign, and the energy was very much in line with international standards, which made it interesting and enjoyable.

The show started with dances and music that touched on Hawaii's history and culture. In the middle, Elvis and Michael joined in, and the show heated up to its peak. As a fan of Elvis and Michael, I certainly enjoyed it, but my girlfriend, who isn't very familiar with Western music, was also thoroughly satisfied and had a great time.

The production and music were wonderful, and overall, it was a very captivating show. Furthermore, the expressions and gestures of the performers conveyed their pride in and love for their culture. It was a valuable experience to understand Hawaii's culture and history and to connect with the charm of the land.

I highly recommend this fantastic show to everyone. Next time, I would like to make a reservation that includes a meal! You will have an amazing night, so definitely consider participating! Mahalo!

今回は食事無しの人数限定のモニターショー初海外旅行の彼女と2人で参加しました。
日本人観光客が多いのかなとの印象でしたが8割以上が外国人の方で盛り上がり方も海外仕様でその点も面白く参加できて良かった。

ショーの内容は前半はハワイの歴史や文化に触れる踊りや音楽からスタート。
中盤からはエルヴィスやマイケルが参加しショーはヒートアップし盛り上がりが最絶頂でした。
私はエルヴィス・マイケルのファンでもちろん楽しむこともできましたが、
洋楽をあまり知らない彼女も十分満足し楽しんでました。

演出や音楽も素晴らしく、全体として非常に魅力的なショーでした。さらに、出演者たちの表情や仕草から、彼らがその文化に誇りを持ち、心から愛していることが伝わってきました。ハワイの文化や歴史を理解することができ、その土地の魅力に触れることができた貴重な体験でした。
全ての方におすすめできる、素晴らしいショーでした。

次回は食事ありで予約してみたいと思います！
最高の一夜を過ごせるのでぜひ参加してみてください！
マハロ！

We had the best time on our clear bottom kayak tour! We saw sea turtles, manta rays, snorkeling, and did bridge jumping. Our guide was the best and the whole experience was great! We had a family of 4 with a 9 year old and 12 year old. They loved it! I highly recommend doing this tour!!

My husband and my two boys and I went on a sunset cruise and had a fantastic time. We got to drink our own drinks so we didn’t have the watered down stuff. They usually serve on these types of cruises. The crew was incredibly friendly. We saw a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows.

Nice music, great food there's so much aloha around.

This was my first time participating. It took about an hour to get to the location from the Waikiki area. After taking a short nap with the kids, our excitement grew as we arrived. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when the sun came out, it got really hot. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any particular issues. I think it was less than ten minutes after we set sail, but we quickly arrived at the destination and headed straight to the sandbar. At first, the water felt cold, but we got used to it right away, and the kids were having a blast! After that, we went snorkeling. We saw a turtle right after we set sail, but during snorkeling...

今回、初めて参加させて頂きました。
ワイキキエリアからは1時間程度で現地に着けました。子供達と一緒に軽い仮眠を取り現地に着くと、テンションは上がって来ました。天気は多少曇ってはいましたが、日が当たると一気に暑くなりました。日本人スタッフもいて、特に困る事はありませんでした。出航して、10分も経っていないと思いますが、あっという間に現地に着き、早速サンドバーへ。最初は冷たいと感じましたがすぐに慣れて、はしゃぐ子供達♪その後シュノーケリングへ。出航直後にもカメさんに会いましたがシュノーケリング中には

Most of the staff do not speak Japanese, but it’s manageable. However, at some photo spots, the guide stops for about 5 to 10 minutes to explain things, and it might be quite confusing if you don’t understand English. Even if you don’t understand, they will still take your photos. It seems like you don’t necessarily need long sleeves and long pants, but on a sunny day, short sleeves might actually be uncomfortable. We had quite a bit of time until the return bus, so we had lunch at the attached café, and it was pretty delicious!

日本語できるスタッフはほとんどいませんが、なんとかなるかんじです。
ただ、何ヵ所かの写真スポットで5分～10分程度停車してガイドさんが説明してくれるのですがこれはさすがに英語がわからないとちんぷんかんぷんかも。わからなくても写真は撮ってくれます。
長袖長ズボンでなくても大丈夫ぽいですが、晴天だと半袖は逆につらいかも。
帰りのバスの時間までけっこうあったので併設のカフェでランチをしましたがけっこう美味しかったです！

I participated with my mother/daughter! In the morning, the weather was bad, and there was thunder and rain in the distance, but by early afternoon it cleared up, and I was so happy to see dolphins and whales up close. It was quite rocky, so those prone to seasickness should be careful! Snorkeling was fun, but the waterslide was absolutely amazing and gave a fantastic sense of freedom! The friendly staff and the Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy the experience until the end. I want to participate again with my friends! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Mahalo!!

母/娘で参加しました！
朝は天候が悪く、遠くの方で雷雨も鳴ってましたが昼過ぎには晴れてきてイルカもクジラも近くで見ることができ、嬉しかったです。かなり揺れたので船酔いする方は注意！シュノーケルも楽しかったですがウォータースライダーが開放感抜群で最高でした！フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんと日本人のガイドさんもいたので安心して最後まで楽しむことができました。
また友達と参加したいと思います！
心からありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I couldn't get a detailed look at the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, but the thrill of driving on the off-road paths was amazing! The weather held up just enough, so I didn't get caught in the rain, but since there are no windows, it might be a good idea to bring a towel because of the dust.

The guides were very cheerful and took lots of photos for us.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would love to experience the filming location tour.

One thing to note: I had a reservation for the 1:00 PM buggy tour, but the pickup was at 8:00 AM, and we arrived after 9:00, which left us with quite a bit of time to kill. There are souvenir shops and places to eat, so we were able to relax, but if you want to make the most of your time, I think it might be better to rent a car.

ジュラシックパーク、ワールドのロケ地を詳しく見ることはできませんでしたが、道中のオフロードのような道を自分の運転で進む爽快感は最高でした！
天気もぎりぎり持ってくれたので雨に降られることはありませんでしたが、窓が一切ないので土埃がかかるのでタオルは持って行った方がよいかもしれません。

ガイドの方々もとっても陽気で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。

また次ハワイに行ったときはロケ地巡りコースで体験してみたいです。

一点だけ、バギーツアー13時スタートの予約でしたが、お迎えは8：00で到着が9：00過ぎでかなり時間を持て余してしまいました。
お土産屋さんやご飯を食べるところもあるのでゆっくりはできましたが、時間を有効に使いたい方はレンタカーで行ったりした方がよいかなと思いました。

We participated as a family of ten, including my parents and siblings. Both the guide and staff were very kind, and we had a great time. The weather was nice, and the beautiful sea and sky were amazing! The water temperature was a bit cold, but it was manageable once we got used to it. The sandbar was knee-deep, and we could swim comfortably at the snorkeling point, where we also saw fish in the coral area. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and everything was great. It was a satisfying tour for the whole family.

両親と兄弟家族で10人で参加しました。ガイドもスタッフもとても親切ですごく楽しめました。
天気もよく、きれいな海！空！最高でした！水温は少し冷たいですが、入っているうちに慣れる程度でした。サンドバーの深さは膝ぐらい、シュノーケリングポイントでも気持ちよく泳げて珊瑚のエリアでは魚もみることが出来ました。ランチのハンバーガーもおいしくて何から何までよかったです。家族みんな満足なツアーでした。
