All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Such a fun and thrilling experience! Enjoyed the combo of paddling out and then riding/surfing the waves in. First-time for us plus our two teenagers, and everyone loved it! Staff are so friendly and helpful, too. Definitely recommend booking in advance like we did! Won't regret it!

Went to sandbar and back. The view was great and the weather was beautiful. Arrived there early in the morning and rented dry bag and the anchor. Staff was helpful in explaining the route and things to remember. Overall very enjoyable experience. Would like to recommend to anyone who wants to see the sandbar in person.

The full course lasts about two hours, and even if you don't understand English, you can watch a Japanese video for explanations before riding. The main course is in the mountains, but the view of the sea from the top of the mountain was amazing. Since transportation was included, there were no issues getting there and back. While waiting for the horseback riding, you can check out souvenir shops or have lunch at available spots. This tour at Kualoa Ranch is more popular than others, so it's better to make a reservation early. I definitely recommend horseback riding over taking a car at first.

約2時間のフルコースで英語がわからなくても日本語のビデオを見ながら説明を受けてすぐ乗馬、山がメインのコースですが山の上から海が見えて最高でした。送迎付きだったので行き帰りにも困らず、乗馬までの待ち時間はお土産屋さんを見たり、お昼も食べれる場所があります。クアロア牧場の中でも他のツアーより人気のツアーなので早めの予約をされたほうがいいです。車より最初は絶対に乗馬がおすすめです。

Enjoyable evening, perfect sunset!
Loved cruising towards Diamond Head and seeing Waikiki upon arrival! I will definitely book this BYOB cruise again!!

It was our family's first zip line experience, including elementary school children. We did six lines. Since it was in the afternoon, it was quite hot. Because each person has to go through a safety check before flying, if there are many people, the waiting time can be quite long, and there is no shade, so you can get sunburned easily.

It was nice that there was time to buy drinks and use the restroom during the break after doing three lines. If you drop your smartphone or anything, it's game over, but everyone was holding onto theirs with one hand. All the rules were in English, but even if you didn't understand, you could figure it out through gestures.

小学生子供を含む家族で初めてのジップラインでした。6本やりました。
午後の日中であった為、かなり暑かったです。1人1人安全確認をしてから飛ぶため、人数が多いと待ち時間は、日陰では無いので、かなり日焼けます。
3本やった後の休憩時間に飲み物を買う時間と御手洗時間があったので良かったです。
スマホなど落としたら終わりですが、皆 結構片手に持ってやっていました。
ルールなど全て英語でしたが、理解できなくてもジェスチャーで分かりました。

We had a great time. Only negative thing I would say was it was a little long, we were finished and sitting around maybe 1 hour.

First of all, the pickup did not arrive on time. I was anxious after waiting for nearly 30 minutes, thinking I might be at the wrong location.

Perhaps due to the bad weather, the sea did not look beautiful. It was very cold even though it was July.

Above all, I was disappointed that the sandbar was different from the promotional photos.

まず集合時間通りに迎えが来なかった。
30分近く待たされたので、場所を間違えたかもと不安になりました。

天候が悪かったせいか、海が綺麗に思えませんでした。
7月なのにとても寒かったです。

何より、宣材写真と違うサンドバーにがっかりしました。

Very warm staff and great opportunities for activities!

Amazing, Great fun on the sand bar. Had my 5 and 8 year old with us. Great for all ages. Added bonus was the Hawaiian Band playing amazing music.

Overall the tour was nice but there were a few things I wish I had known beforehand.

1 - I went in July & the sandbar water height was about at my bottom (I'm 5' tall). It wasn't good for any toddlers because they wouldn't be able to stand on the sand, so we had to carry our 2 1/2 year old the whole time. Current is a little strong for the toddler too. I was hoping it would be the time of year where the water was below knee deep so the toddler can enjoy.

2 - the only activity on the sandbar was volleyball, which I don't play. Other tours had other activities listed on their tour which I wish this tour had, especially for the price! It was a more expensive tour than others & had less activities than other tours I was researching. Other tours had live music. For the price, it should have more perks, The only good thing was that this was available last minute & they got us in which I appreciated.

3 - The food was good & the hot chocolate at the end of the snorkeling portion was great! However, like some reviews said, you could at least give us fresh pineapple vs canned. That was horrendous for this being Hawaii. Burger, beans & bag of chips was perfect!

The Sandbar was an awesome experience with an amazing crew. I would highly recommend. Be sure to come prepared with towel and any food/drink you would want to enjoy.

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

I wanted to see the Hilton fireworks, so I decided to join the dinner cruise the night before. I'm glad I could sign up on such short notice.

Every time I come to Hawaii, I've booked a dinner cruise, but honestly, I was surprised by the small boat and that dinner was a bento box. I was the only Japanese person who couldn't speak English well, and I was worried about what would happen if something went wrong. However, when I communicated my concerns to the staff, they reassured me that it would be fine and encouraged me to enjoy myself. They also made sure to take care of my drinks.

In the end, the bento box, which I was initially surprised by, turned out to be delicious on the boat, and I was able to eat it all. The fireworks were beautiful, and overall, I had a great time participating. (Having two drinks also lifted my spirits, haha!)

ヒルトンの花火が見たくて前日の夜でしたが、思い立って参加しました。急でも申し込めてよかったです。
毎回ハワイに来た時はディナークルーズを申し込んでいたのですが、正直小さい船（ボート？）でびっくりして、ディナーもお弁当なのがびっくりしました。
日本人でまともに英語が喋れないのが私一人だけで、何かあった時に困るのでスタッフに伝えると問題ないですよ、楽しみましょうって言ってくれて、飲み物等も気を遣ってもらえました。
結局びっくりしたお弁当も船の上だと増し増しで美味しくて、全部食べられました。
花火もきれいで、総じて楽しんで参加できました。（お酒2杯で気分が上がったのもありますw）

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.

Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.

Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.

全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

They pick you up, and going to the west side is so worth it to see! this tour was my families favorite of the tours we did!

Not what we expected, drove round the hillsides in a bus looking at sign boards that said what was filmed there. Holes dug in the ground claiming they were dinosaur footprints but had to be filled in because cows were falling in them. Also film props of bones that were too fragile to be touched as they will break as they were made of polystyrene... really!

Highly Recommended!!! Tour guide Ramsey was friendly, knowledgeable and great fun! Will definitely ask for him next time

800 Year Fish Pond. Learned about predator fish. Cool Boat Ride with Blue Water and Awesome View of Chinaman’s Hat!

Spectacular! Highly recommend! Guides: Shante and Jaren are the BEST!

Scenic setting to see Waikiki in the sea! Perfect scenery for sunset on warm waters. Great staff who are friendly and accommodating :) I would recommend for a great time with others out on the sea.

My son and husband did this as their first scuba adventure and it was perfect! Great instructors and setting made my son feel at ease and safe with his surroundings. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who’s thinking about a different ocean experience!

Everything provided was great. The boat itself was clean and comfortable. All the excursions provided off the boat were awesome! The crew were so nice and a ton of fun! I was able to see a sea turtle and film it with my go pro while on the banana boat ride. The drive notices the sea turtle and slowed down for us! It was PERFECT! The views were spectacular!

Absolutely enjoyed the excursion. I was able to book for a family of 7 only days in advance. Glad that worked out for us! The crew was professional, fun, and caring. I was a first time snorkeler and non swimmer. One of the crew members was kind to tote me around the reef to help ease my anxiety. I saw a majestic turtle and fish! The bbq burger lunch was superb! They stayed on schedule. No complaints whatsoever. I would absolutely recommend booking on Veltra.com for booking with Captain Bob’s snorkel tour! It was quick and convenient. You won’t be disappointed. It made for a memorable day! Thank you to the Captain Bob’s crew! You guys were amazing!!

Awesome! Greatest experience. One of the highlights of our trip Mahalo

The show was good. The host is very entertaining. Food is as usual, nothing spectular. Upon arrival, only adult received drink tickets which the description did not indicate kids and youth don't get ticket for drink. With the price, the kids deserve soda tickets. It will be better if there are more pre-show activities, such as more photo backdrops and more lighting.

This tour was the best thing we could’ve booked during our stay. It was our first time in hawaii and Jonah went above and beyond to give us the best experience. We were able to try some of the best spots on the island such as Leonards bakery, and the bald guy, along with the visit to the beer garden. He even took us to places that weren’t on the schedule, and we couldn’t thank him enough! We stopped at a beach on the north side where we were able to watch dolphins. We were so happy to have Jonah along our side with amazing knowledge and to give us the do’s and dont's of hawaii. We highly recommend to book this tour with Jonah for your first time to get that hawaiian experience you’re looking for! Thank you Jonah so so much for everything! (Especially the horses!)

For our first time here. I will say this was the best tour to do. Our tour Guy was amazing he went over and beyond to show us everything and made us feel so welcomed. Jonah is the best tour guide we’ve had since we’ve been here. He explained details and the history of Hawaii thru out the drive. Took all our pictures of us and our adventure. We want to thank him for making our 2nd day memorable. Book this tour.

Overall beautiful experience! Transportation include to the catamaran, really convenient. Beautiful experience to be emerge in the beautiful sand beach in the middle of the ocean! Paddle and snorkeling where we were lucky to see 2 turtles one really big and a baby one.

The sandbar is absolutely beautiful. The staff is amazing, super helpful and friendly. The water was freezing and unfortunately it was also very cloudy when we went out so getting in the water was very uncomfortable for me. But if you don’t mind cold water you will love this tour!!!! You have gorgeous views and fun activities to do on the sandbar (snorkel, volleyball, kayak). Definitely recommend if you can handle cold water!!!

Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Love the vibe and the live music. We asked about adding a ride on the raft and they made it happen. It was such a great experience.
