All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Amazing time! We highly recommend. Can’t wait to do it again! Do the banana boat ride- so good!

This is my second time using it, following the last time. The sea is beautiful, and the hamburgers eaten on the boat are very delicious! There were also many sea turtles! I want to participate again!

前回に続き2回目の利用です。
海も綺麗で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーもとても美味しいです！ウミガメもたくさんいました！
また参加したいです！

I was looking forward to the thrill of the American sliders, and it was just as exciting as I expected! It was a lot of fun!

I opted for the full package, but I found out that the bodyboard lesson wasn't included, and the bodyboard pool required an additional fee. I had heard from the guide on the day that it was included, so I was a bit confused. (There was no refund, so was it not included?)

Lunch was so plentiful that I couldn't finish it all!

アメリカのスライダーの迫力は凄そう、と思って楽しみにしていました！予想通り迫力があって楽しかったです！
また、フルでついてるプランにしましたが、ボディーボードレッスンはやっておらず、ボディーボードのプールは追加料金でした。当日ガイドさんには含まれてると聞いてたので、あれ？、という感じでした。(返金もなかったので、含まれていなかった？)
お昼ご飯はとても多く食べきれないほどでした！

I participated again because I had a great time last time (in 2018). You can see many beautiful fish. Above all, I was moved by the Honu that comes close to you. The Honu approaches you (laughs). This time, my family was the only Japanese participants. I feel like it was the same last time. I don't really like tours with a lot of Japanese participants, so I appreciate that aspect as well.

前回（2018年）も楽しかったので、再度、参加しました。
キレイな魚がたくさん見れます。
何よりも間近で見れるHonuには感動します。
Honuの方から近付いてきます（笑）
今回、日本人は私達家族だけでした。
前回もそうだった気がします。
日本人がたくさん参加するツアーがあまり好きではないので、そんなところも気に入っています。

We got to see dolphins and get in the water which was so refreshing!

The ride and the guide were amazing! The ranch has cows throughout that you get to see when horse riding. It is the best ranch I have been to.

We found out that there were no other Japanese participants besides us on the pickup bus, but we felt reassured knowing that our Japanese guide, Hiro, was there to support us. The path to Manoa Falls was through a lush tropical rainforest, allowing us to enjoy a side of Oahu beyond just the beaches. The local guide who explained about the plants was friendly and had a lively tone, making it enjoyable! After walking just under 1 km, we arrived at Manoa Falls, which had a decent height but a relatively low water flow. The width of the waterfall was unexpectedly narrow, which was a bit disappointing. Exiting the rainy tropical rainforest, Manoa town was dry, and it was interesting to see the climatic changes due to the terrain. We picked up lunch at a popular sandwich shop that has been around for three generations and headed to Tantalus Hill. Enjoying a sandwich that lived up to its reputation while overlooking Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki was incredibly pleasant. Although Hiro, our Japanese guide, mentioned that he has only been a guide for a short time, we appreciated his attention to detail.

ピックアップのバスに乗ってみて自分達夫婦以外に日本人の参加者はいないことが分かりましたが、ちゃんと日本人ガイドのHiroさんが付いてサポートしてくれて安心。
マノアの滝までの道は鬱蒼とした熱帯雨林で、ビーチだけではないオアフ島を楽しめた。植物などについて説明してくれた現地ガイドの方は気さく、軽快な口調で面白かった！1km弱歩いて到着したマノアの滝は高さはそこそこあるものの水量が少なめ。滝の幅が予想外に狭くてややガッカリ。雨が降る熱帯雨林から出るとマノアの街はカラッとしていて地形による気候の変化が面白かった。街中で3代続く人気のサンドイッチ店でランチをピックアップしてタンタラスの丘へ。ここからダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル群など一望しながら、人気店と言われることが納得できるサンドイッチを頬張るのは凄く心地良かった。
日本人ガイドのHiroさんはガイド歴はまだ短いとのことだったが、細かい気配りがありがたかった。

What an absolutely amazing day! We had so much fun. Special mention to the guides who shared stories of the land and taught us about the Aloha spirit.

Kioki was by far the best guide we’ve dealt with and we have done a lot of tours. Very energetic and knowledgeable. The North Shore Eco-Tour was awesome. Highly recommend this to anyone. Breathtaking views and the true nature of Hawaii!

The captain and co-captain made it a fun experience. I enjoyed the punch that was provided. This sail boat tour was an overall great time, and I would certainly go again.

Beautiful day with a super crew! Sandbar and snorkling are magic!!!

日本の大手ツアー会社と提携している同様のツアーが満員で予約できなかったためこちらで予約しました。
結果的に大満足でした！船は大きくてトイレや更衣室もあり、ドーナツや飲み物のサービスも嬉しかった。天気があまり良くなく、水位も高かったのですが、十分に楽しめました。海に浮かぶラウンジも思ったよりのんびり出来て良かった。バナナボートは想像以上のスピードで何度か落ちそうになりながらも後ろの知らない人が支えてくれたりしてアットホームな雰囲気でした。行き帰りのハワイアンミュージックの生演奏がとにかくいいです。上手だし、ノリノリの外国の方がいてさらに盛り上がりました。こっそり置いてあるあったかい紅茶のサービスも冷えた体には助かりました。

A great experience for the whole family. The show had a variety of dances and songs; and the performers were great. Also, being right on the beach with the sunsetting over the water and the lights of the cityscape in the night sky, it made for some beautiful pictures. We would definitely do it again.

This is a must Do!!!! So much fun!! Friendly staff! Great music. Do live band.

Our tour guide Kevin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable about the Island and was super friendly. The activities were fun and the landscape was beautiful! We had a great time!

Lots of fun, live music, friendly staff and beautiful views, a forever memory swimming in the reef , kayaking in the ocean and relaxing in paradise.

I can’t believe it took this long for me to try this excursion. It is an activity I will add to every visit to Oahu. The experience and view is like no other. I was a little worried because I have a younger child (11 yrs old) and we have been kayaking in the past but it only took us 35 minutes to get to the sandbar. Once the rust shook off we were able to get back in 25 minutes. The people on-site were very helpful and supportive. They made sure you had everything you need snorkel equipment, life vests, and dry bags. I would suggest the eight hour if you plan to snorkel at another location outside of the sandbar. That way you can conserve your energy for paddling back.

My sister and I went to Kualoa Ranch for my birthday to do the E-Bike tour, and we are so glad that we did. It was so much fun riding E-Bikes. There was a slight delay in getting started due to the sizes of the bikes being a good fit for the riders. Justice and Christian went above and beyond to find the right bike for each rider. Once we got started on our tour, it was so much fun riding around the ranch. The ranch is so beautiful, and Justice is very knowledgeable with the history of the ranch and shared all of the "Fun Facts" with us during our stops making it interesting. The only negative thing that I could say is that I wish it was a longer ride, I didn't want to stop.
Next time I am in Oahu I will definitely be coming back :)

Highly recommend! We had such a great time hope to be back again

It was such a good tour..the crew are such an experts and also funny. They've made us feel safe throughout the sailing. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends & family.

Due to the lack of Japanese speakers, all the information was provided in English, which I couldn't understand at all.
However, the scenery was absolutely stunning.
I could sense that all the guides were cheerful and probably made a lot of jokes.

日本人が少ない為、全て英語の案内で、英語のわからない私には、内容は全くわからず。
でも、目に入ってくる景色は最高でした。
ガイドさんも全員明るくて、冗談をいっぱい言っているんだろうな？って事は感じ取れました。

Amazing . The food was awesome along with the music and vibe

I usually don't write reviews, but I decided to do so because the tour guide left a very good impression on me. The guide was Japanese and shared various information about Hawaii during the bus rides to and from the destination.

Additionally, while reading other reviews, I noticed that some mentioned a very tight schedule where they only went horseback riding and couldn't explore Haleiwa. However, it seems that this has improved, as we had time to spend in Haleiwa. After enjoying coffee in Haleiwa, we went horseback riding, took about 30 minutes to eat garlic shrimp, and then relaxed at the Dole Plantation before returning to Waikiki. The horseback riding along the beach was leisurely for about an hour, and it was a wonderful experience.

I was also happy that the guide took photos for us and was very proactive.

普段口コミを書かないんですが、ツアーガイドさんがとても好印象だったので書くことにしました。
日本人？の方で、行きも帰りも移動中のバスの中でハワイのことを色々と話して下さってました。
また、他の方の口コミを見るとあまりにもタイトスケジュールで乗馬だけしてハレイワは散策出来ないとありましたが、改善されたのかハレイワで過ごす時間もありました。
ハレイワで珈琲飲んだ後に乗馬して、ガーリックシュリンプを30分くらいかけて食べ、ドールプランテーションでゆっくり過ごしワイキキへ戻りました。乗馬も海辺を1時間くらいゆっくり乗馬して
とても素敵な時間でした。
ガイドさんが、写真撮ってくれたり率先してくれたので嬉しかったです。

The lady that got us set up on our kayak was phenomenal. She told us the exact place to go to see fish and turtles. 100% recommend

Incredible views and fantastic crew! Highly recommend

We participated as a family of three, looking for a Segway experience that even our 13-year-old child could enjoy. We toured downtown, Chinatown, Izumo Taisha, and the courthouse, and it was incredibly fun. Our guide, Kenji, provided thorough instructions on how to ride the Segway and offered support, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. The staff were all very kind as well.

13歳の子供も体験できるセグウェイを探して親子3人で参加しました。
ダウンタウンやチャイナタウン、出雲大社、裁判所などを巡りましたが最高に楽しかったです。
ガイドのケンジさんが丁寧にセグウェイの乗り方やサポートをしてくれたので安心して楽しむ事ができました。
スタッフの皆さんもとても親切です。

Beautiful scenery, super kind staff, wonderful music. Tried kayak, snorkel and it was so fun. Water was so clear, I could see fish so close it was beautiful. Only thing is the time could be longer. We got to the sandbar about 9:30 and left around 12pm. I wish I could have more time so I could try other activities like volleyball and paddle board. The boat was full with over 100 people but didn’t feel like it was packed. Especially when we got to the sandbar, people were more spread out. Overall, the tour was way better than expected and definitely want to do it again!! Thank you!

Authentic experience in a state park! All the staffs were attentive and kind, gave us a good explanation and took care of us. It’s refreshing to find non-commercial experience in a very touristic island. We very much enjoyed our kayak ride.
We visite parts where we could snorkel to swim with turtles and went to sandbar to swim in a picturesque water.

My fourth-grade daughter had some horseback riding experience in Japan, but her parents had almost none, yet we felt comfortable participating. Since we met at the location, we rented a car through an app and headed there. It took just over an hour to arrive from our hotel in Waikiki. Our group consisted of a total of eight people, with only our family of three being Japanese. The rest were Europeans and Asians. My wife speaks English, but my daughter and I only know a little. Still, we managed just fine. It was amazing to be able to ride horses along the white sandy beach. There was a height restriction for horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, so my daughter couldn't participate there, but this tour was fine for ages six and up, so there was no problem. There was also a polo practice area, and it was fun to watch the polo practice.

小学四年生の娘は日本で何度か乗馬経験がありましたが、両親はほぼ乗馬経験なし、それでも安心して参加できました。現地集合のため、アプリでカーシェアリングの車を借り、現地へ。ワイキキ のホテルから1時間強くらいで到着しました。我々が参加した組は合計８名で日本人は我々家族三人のみ。あとは、欧米人とアジア系の方々。家内は英語を喋りますが私と娘は片言。それでもなんとかなりました。白い砂浜を馬に乗って散歩できるなんて最高でした。クアロアランチへの乗馬は身長制限があり、娘が参加できませんでしたが、こちらのツアーは確か6歳以上だったので問題ありませんでした。ポロの練習場が併設されていて、ポロの練習も見られて楽しかったです。

We participated as a family of three. Since it was a special occasion, we decided to let our 9-year-old daughter have the piloting experience instead of us, so she piloted while her parents were passengers. The hotel shuttle was also free, and they provided us with a lot of useful information since we were not familiar with Hawaii. When we informed them in advance that our daughter would be piloting and that she doesn't speak much English, they allocated extra time for a pre-flight briefing with the pilot, allowing her to fly without any issues. I initially thought she would only be holding the controls a little while in the air, but since the experience is run by a school that offers Cessna pilot licenses, she got to experience various maneuvers, including taxiing on the runway, takeoff, and right and left turns in the air. We left the landing to the pilot, of course... The communication in English was facilitated through headphones and a microphone, allowing our daughter, the pilot, and us to converse, so we could partially interpret for her. Since we participated the day before our return, it was amazing to see Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Haleiwa, North Shore, Pearl Harbor, and even Kualoa Ranch, which we hadn't visited yet, from the sky! I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

家族三人で参加しました。
せっかくだから、親ではなく娘に操縦体験をさせてあげようということとなり、9才の娘が操縦、両親が同乗者で申し込み。ホテルの送迎も無料で、ハワイ事情に疎い我々に色々とタメになる情報を教えて頂きました。事前に娘が体験操縦すること、娘は英語があまり喋れないことを連絡したところ、パイロットとの事前の打ち合わせに時間を多くとって貰い、問題なく飛ぶことが出来ました。体験操縦なので、上空で少々操縦桿を握る程度かと思っていましたが、元々はセスナの操縦ライセンスを取得できる学校が運営していることもあり、滑走路の運転から離陸、上空での右旋回、左旋回など様々な操縦を体験させて貰いました。流石に着陸はパイロットの方にお任せしましたが…英語の方もヘッドホンとマイクを通して、パイロットの方と娘、両親が会話を出来るので、部分的に我々が通訳することも出来ました。帰国前日に参加したので、それまで行ったワイキキ ビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハナウマ湾、ハレイワ、ノースショア、パールハーバー、それからまだ行ったことのないクアロアランチなどを上空から見ることが出来て最高でした！また、機会があれば是非参加したいと思います。
