All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Once again this year, I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Chieko-san, and it was a delightful and moving experience. My husband and I are 66 years old, so we were a bit concerned about our physical stamina, but we were amazed by the fish and turtles, and the hour flew by in no time. We were able to see a pair of turtles, and we also saw a turtle coming up to the surface for air. This year, we created the best memories once again.

昨年に引き続き今年もチエコさんにお世話になり楽しく感激しましたよ。主人と私は66歳なので体力的にどうかなと思っていましたが魚や亀に感激してあっという間の1時間でした。ペアの亀を観られたし呼吸のため水面から顔を出す亀もみられたし、今年も最高の思い出ができました。

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sandy beach and activities. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but it was a bit disappointing that I didn't get to see any. The staff were all cheerful and fun people.

きれいな砂浜とアクティビティで大満足です。
ウミガメを期待してましたが、会えなかったのが少し残念です。
スタッフは皆さん明るく楽しい方々でした。

I recommend this for those who want to go to Hanauma Bay quickly and simply, without the need for rentals or guides. You can watch an orientation video on the shuttle bus, allowing for immediate entry upon arrival. Since it's a plan that includes the entrance fee, there's no need to pay extra on-site, which lets you enjoy Hanauma Bay to the fullest without any hassle. It was fantastic. I also appreciated that they provided support in Japanese.

レンタルやガイドは不要で、とにかくシンプルに早くハナウマ湾に行きたい人におすすめです。
送迎のバス内でオリエンテーションビデオを見ることができるため、到着直後に入場が可能です。また、入場料込みのプランのため、当日現地で入場のためにお金を出す必要もなく、無駄なく最大限にハナウマ湾を楽しむことが出来ました。最高です。
日本語でも対応していただけたのもありがたかったです。

The team was extremely helpful in explaining the events. I brought my wife and in-laws from Japan with us. We felt the Aloha immediately! We were worried about the cloudy morning but just as we set sail the sun came out in during our ride. We got to spend a good amount of time in the sun and enjoyed the music from the performers on board. Tip your performers, people! They can sing all the island tunes 10/10. We will certainly book again for our next trip and bring our kids. Mahalo and many thanks from Seattle, Wa.

I’m not good at online booking. I did booked because of all you can eat buffet but when we got there , says I didn’t signed in for food. The web pages not clearly says that it has to be separated account.
I still don’t know how I missed it

It was special date for my niece’ wedding present but end up couldn’t feed them.

Yes we loved show but empty stomach…

I ended up confirming with the staff from a seat further up than I had imagined 💦 As mentioned in other reviews, it's easy to see from anywhere, so sitting in the back is fine. Moreover, even though I chose a Category 3 seat, I ended up in the fourth row from the front (though it was a side seat).

As for the content, I’d say just go see it! The energy of shows abroad is much higher than in Japan, and the atmosphere is so much fun! At the end, there was a standing ovation, and I thought, "Wow, this is overseas!"

想像してなかった前の方の席で、スタッフの方に確認してしまいました💦
他の方の口コミにもあったように、どこからでもみやすいので、後ろの席でも大丈夫。ましてや、カテゴリー3席を選んだのに前から4列目でした（サイドの席ではあるが）

内容は、まぁまずはみてください！という感じですが、海外で観るショーは、日本で観るよりテンション高くて、雰囲気が楽しい！
最後スタンディングオベーションがおきてて、おおー海外!と思いました

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain... I put on my raincoat and arrived at the waterfall completely soaked. However, when it rains, the water flow of the waterfall increases, making it incredibly powerful! It wasn't as difficult as I imagined, but there were a few spots with steps that might be challenging for some people. Afterward, the Andy's sandwich I had at Tantalus was absolutely delicious! The rain had stopped at Tantalus, and I was able to enjoy a breathtaking view!

あいにくの大雨…レインコートを着て、ずぶ濡れになりながら滝まで到着。
でも、雨が降れば滝の水量は増えて、迫力満点！！
想像より大変じゃないけど、段差のある上り下りが何箇所かあったのが、人によっては大変かも。
終わってから、タンタラスで食べたアンディのサンドイッチは、めちゃくちゃおいしかったです！
タンタラスでは雨も上がり、絶景を見ることができました！

We were blessed with great weather, and I was guided to some wonderful photo spots, making for very nice memories. The driver shared various information along the way, which was very helpful.

お天気に恵まれ、写真スポットにも案内していただきとてもいい思い出になりました。
ドライバーさんが道中いろいろな情報をお話ししてくださったのでとても参考になりました。

We had a great time with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, a total of six people. The three in the front seat took on the challenge and got soaked in the rain! Off-roading in the rain was thrilling and fun.

息子夫婦と孫、6人で楽しみました。前の運転席の三人は雨の中ずぶ濡れでチャレンジ！雨のオフロードはスリリングで楽しかったです。

I made a reservation the day before, and I was able to watch the show from the second row on the left, which was impressive and fun. The venue was a bit cold, so it might be good to have a light jacket.

前日に予約しましたが、左の2列目でショーを見ることができて迫力もあり、楽しかったです。
ショーは、少し会場が寒いので薄手の上着があるといいかも。

The instruction was in English, but I was able to participate enjoyably while observing everyone. The waves are calm, so it can be a bit easy to get seasick. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. The meeting place was hard to find, so I recommend arriving early. It's at the southernmost end of the parking lot!

英語での指導でしたが、みんなの様子見ながら楽しく参加できました。
波が穏やかなので少し酔いやすいです。不安なら酔い止めを事前に内服したらいいかも。
集合場所がわかりにくくて焦りましたので早めに行くのをお勧めします。
駐車場の1番最南端です！

Although the weather was unfortunate with rain, I was able to see turtles and manta rays (just their fins, though...) and was once again amazed by the size of the manta rays. The rain made the sea murky, so the coral wasn't visible in its beauty, and I couldn't enjoy the beach due to the tides and changing weather. However, the cheerful Japanese female staff and other staff brightened my mood. All the participants were also cheerful, which made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There were many English speakers, and I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy conversations due to my lack of English skills; it made me think I should study English. On the way back, the captain came to greet us, making it a tour that didn't let the rain get us down.

天候に恵まれず生憎の雨天でしたが、亀やマンタのひれ（ひれのみでしたが・・・）を見ることができマンタの大きさに改めてびっくりしました。
雨で海も濁ってしまい、サンゴはきれいには見えず、ビーチも潮のかげんや天候の変動でか見ることはできませんでしたが、日本人の女性スタッフや他のスタッフも明るく、気持ちが明るくなりました。
参加者も皆さん明るく、南国だな～と思いました。
英語圏の方が多く、会話を楽しみたかったのに英語が出来ず残念、英語を勉強しようかな・・・と感じました。帰りには船長さんがあいさつに来てくれて、雨にも負けずというツアーでした。

I love dolphins, so I have wanted to participate for a long time, and this time I was finally able to join. The staff (especially Joanna and Ryuichi) were very kind and taught me a lot. I was almost a beginner at snorkeling, but it was fun.

Next time, I want to try dolphin swimming too!

イルカが好きなのでずっと参加してみたく、今回初めて参加できました。
スタッフの皆さん（特にJoanna, Ryuichiさん）も親切にいろいろ教えてくださり、シュノーケリングはほぼ初心者でしたが楽しかったです。

次回はドルフィンスイムもやってみたいです！

Lots to get to see around Oahu, it deserves its highlights as it was fabulous to see the city and country side!

It's something you should experience at least once in your life. Just being able to ride in a submarine is thrilling, and to see a downed airplane is truly overwhelming.

人生で一回は体験すべきものです
潜水艦に乗れるだけでも感激なのに、撃墜した飛行機が見れるなんて感無量てまし

It was a rainy tour, but I had a great time driving through the movie filming locations in a buggy! The two hours flew by!

あいにくの雨のツアーでしたが、映画のロケ地をバギーで走り抜けて、とても楽しかった！2時間があっという間でした！

We were able to enjoy a discounted price for a limited time. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all dishes that clearly showed careful preparation. Each item had a moderate portion size and was delicious.

開始時間限定で割安にいただけました。
前菜、メイン、デザート、どれも丁寧に手をかけて調理されているのが感じられる料理でした。適度なボリュームでどの品も美味しかったです。

I wanted to enjoy Matsumoto Shave Ice and Huli Huli Chicken in Haleiwa, so I opted for the 3-hour stay course. On the way there, we didn't have much time to relax at the Dole Presentation, but we managed to buy some limited edition items and eat ice cream before heading to Haleiwa. We were able to visit all the places we aimed for, and the weather was so nice that I felt three hours wasn't enough! It was a fulfilling tour.

I think you can either join a tour or drive a rental car to Haleiwa, but I wasn't in the mood to drive, so joining the tour was the right choice! Since it was after Thanksgiving, the roads were clear, and we didn't get stuck in traffic, allowing us to enjoy the day without stress.

ハレイワでマツモトシェイブアイスやフリフリチキンを楽しみたかったので3時間滞在コースにしました。
行きの途中で寄るドールプレゼンテーションはあまりゆっくりしている暇がありませんでしたが限定品を買ったりアイスを食べハレイワへ。目的の場所はすべて行けた上に天気も良く３時間じゃ足りない！と思えるほど充実のツアーでした。
ハレイワまではツアーに参加するかレンタカーを自分で運転するかになるかと思いますが車を運転する気にはなれずツアーに参加して正解でした！感謝祭後ということもあり道も空いていて渋滞にもはまらずストレスなく過ごせました。

The itinerary was generally as outlined in the information we received beforehand, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Specifically, there was a wait of about 10 minutes for the bus transfer, and the duration of our stay at Hanauma Bay was also noted.

概ね事前にいただいていた案内通りの行程だったので、安心して楽しむことができました。
具体的には、バスの送迎時間（10分くらいは待ちました）、ハナウマ湾の滞在時間など。

Since we participated as a group of three, everyone ordered different dishes and we enjoyed tasting each other's meals. Each dish was very delicious and we were satisfied. Although we were over 30 minutes late due to transportation issues and ended up sitting away from the reserved seats, we were able to enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The music and ambiance were also great.

三人で参加したので、みな違う料理を注文し味見をしながらいただきました。それぞれ、とても良い味で満足できました。交通トラブルで30分以上遅れてしまい、予約席ではないステージから離れた席になってしまいましたが、落ち着いて食事ができました。音楽も雰囲気も良かったです。

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour. The movie location tour was enjoyable as there were many films I had seen. The Kaneohe Bay cruise had great weather, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Additionally, the explanations about the culture and history were interesting and well done. Both tours had guides who were great at engaging the group and took plenty of photos for us. The lunch buffet was hearty and very delicious. There was a well-delivered lecture in Japanese at the beginning, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.

数回目のハワイですが、初めて参加しました。
映画ロケ地巡りは、見た映画が多くあり楽しめました。カネオヘ湾クルーズも天気が良く、良い景色を楽しめました。また、文化、歴史の説明も興味深く良かったです。両ツアーともガイドさんは盛り上げ方が上手く、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。ランチビュッフェはボリューム満点でとても美味しかったです。
最初に上手な日本語でのレクチャーがあるので安心して楽しめました。

The story begins with the first sound, right from the start of the piece. From the performance, there was fun, enjoyment, and surprise‼️ It was also beautiful and wonderful. It was enjoyable and beautiful until the very end.

最初の音の、曲の始まりから物語が始まり。
演目から、パフォーマンスに、面白さと
楽しさと驚き‼️そして、綺麗で素敵すぎです。最後の最後まで、楽しく、美しかったです。

The sea was beautiful.
It was my first experience.
A mystical space.
I encountered six sea turtles.

The instructors were wonderful, and I had a great time.
Thank you very much.

海は綺麗でした
初めての体験
神秘的な空間
6匹もウミガメに出会えました

インストラクターの方々が素晴らしく、楽しく過ごせました
ありがとうございました

I rode a buggy in the great nature of Hawaii and felt the wind as I moved forward. Along the way, there was a photo time, and I was able to connect with nature and create lasting memories. It's definitely worth going! Thank you for providing such a fun experience 😊

ハワイの大自然の中でバギーに乗り、風を感じ進みました。途中、写真タイムもあり自然に触れ思い出深い体験が出来ました。
絶対に行く価値ありです。
とても楽しい体感を味合わせてくれてありがとうございました😊

We had a fantastic experience here with Eden! We did the UTV tour and had Eden as our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate when teaching us about the history of all attractions and the various films that are filmed here. She definitely helped make the experience enjoyable. The views were beautiful and we were able to get some really great photos. I would definitely recommend this tour to others and look forward to coming back.

Cirque du Soleil. It was my first time, and it exceeded my expectations. The seats were great, and I was glad I made the reservation through Veltra. From start to finish, I had a fun and enjoyable experience without getting bored, creating wonderful memories.

シルクドソレイユ。初めてでしたが、想像以上。
席もよかったし、ベルトラで予約してよかったです。
はじめから、最後まで、飽きずに楽しくいい思い出できました。

From the beginning to the end, I couldn't stop feeling excited and thrilled. The cast's enthusiasm to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves, along with the audience who knew how to have a good time, created an amazing atmosphere. The seats were also fantastic. If I have the chance, I would love to go again. Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで、ワクワクドキドキが止まりませんでした。キャストの、楽しんでもらおうという心意気と、楽しむのが上手な観客たちで、最高の盛り上がりでした。お席も最高でした。
チャンスがあれば、もう一度行きたいです。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my family of four: my second-grade daughter, my preschool son, my husband, and myself. It rained the entire time we were in Honolulu, but during this angelic sea tour, it was sunny (though there were a few light showers), and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sandbar.

The water at the sandbar was about waist-deep for adults, but it was shallow enough for the kids to stand, which made it safe. We played by floating with our inner tubes and snorkeling to peek into the sea. The water was incredibly clear and beautiful.

At one point, we caught a whiff of delicious grilled meat! My son raved that the hamburger and boiled beans for lunch were the best he had ever tasted!

After that, we went on a sea turtle search! We were able to see several sea turtles surfacing for air, and we even encountered a manta ray!

For the final snorkeling around the coral, my daughter and I participated! The wind was strong, and we were swept by the waves, but with some help, we discovered a sea turtle's resting spot and saw octopuses and fish as well.

We were even treated to drinks and snacks, allowing both of our kids to have a great time.

小2の娘と、年少の息子と夫と私の家族4人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在中、ずーっと雨でしたが、この天使の海のツアー中だけは晴れて（多少、小雨の時もあったけど）、綺麗なサンドバーを満喫できました。
サンドバーは、大人の腰くらいまでは水があったのですが、子供も足がつくので安心。浮き輪つけて浮かんだり、海の中をシュノーケルで覗いたりして遊びました。とにかく海の水が透明できれいでした。
途中から、お肉を焼いてるいい匂い〜！！息子はこのお昼ご飯のハンバーガーと煮豆が一番美味しかった！と大絶賛でした。
その後は海亀探し！海亀の息継ぎを何匹も見れて、なんとマンタにまで遭遇できました。
最後の珊瑚の周りのシュノーケルは、娘と私で参加！風が強くて波に流されたりしましたが、助けてもらって、海亀の寝床を発見したり、タコとかお魚も見れました。
飲み物や、お菓子までおもてなししていただき、子供2人とも楽しく過ごすことができました。

We had the best time on the tours. The guides were excellent. Very friendly. The grounds were clean, wanted to stay longer. It was an awesome experience would love to come back and tour it all again.
Thank You

It's very spacious, and to get around, you can either ride in a car, take a bus, or ride a horse. I wanted to ride a horse, but since the course is long, I chose the bus considering the strain on my back. Unfortunately, there was no explanation in Japanese when we arrived, and the bus for this movie location tour also had no Japanese at all. That's a bit disappointing. I recommend reading the explanations in advance. Next time, I would like to try zip-lining as well.

とても広くて、見て回るにはクルマに乗るか、バスに乗るか、馬に乗るか。
馬に乗りたかったけれども、長いコースなので、腰への負担を考えてバスにしました。着いたときの説明も、この映画ロケ地ツアーのバスも日本語は全くないです。それがちょっと残念。事前に説明を読んでおくことをおすすめします。
次回はジップラインもやってみたいなあ。
