All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

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。

I have seen Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, Macau, and Tokyo, but the venue here was smaller, allowing us to see everything up close and experience the intensity. The quality of the performers was also high, and everyone, including us, was moved. I highly recommend it!

ラスベガス、マカオ、東京などでもシルクドソレイユを見ましたが、会場が狭かったので目前に見れ迫力があり、また演技者の質も高く私たちを含め皆感動していました。是非お勧めです。

We had an incredible experience. It was early in the season so we didn’t think we were going to see anything. The crew told us to hurry and board as some other boats had said they saw some whales out there. We had been out for maybe 20 minutes and we saw a couple of spouts in the distance between two boats. We were all looking way out at those spouts when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a male humpback jumped straight up out of the water and breached about 15 yards in front of our boat!!! No one got a picture because we weren’t expecting it and we all just watched it unbelievably in that moment! It doesn’t get any better than that! The captains were so helpful and knowledgeable!

In the past, Hanauma Bay was crowded and seemed to be getting dirtier year by year. However, with the implementation of entry restrictions and the fact that very few people visited during COVID, I felt that the beautiful Hanauma Bay has returned. After the Honolulu Marathon, the weather was unpredictable with a lot of rain, so when I made my reservation, I kept an eye on the weather forecast and chose a day with a low chance of precipitation. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I encountered a heavy downpour like a tropical rain shower.

After that, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, and very rarely did the sun peek through, but I was still able to go snorkeling, which turned out to be a memorable experience. I hope to make a comeback on a sunny day next year.

昔は人も多く海も年々汚れてきた印象のハナウマベイでしたが、入場制限を行い、またコロナで人が全然入らなかった事も幸いして、綺麗なハナウマベイが帰ってきたと感じました。ホノルルマラソンが終わった後はお天気が不順で雨も多かったので、予約を取る時に天気予報とにらめっこして、降水確率の低い日を選んだのですが、残念ながら到着した時にスコールの様な豪雨にあいました。
その後は曇り時々雨、ごく稀に薄陽がさすお天気でしたか、シュノーケリングも出来てなかなか無い思い出になりました。
来年、晴れの日にリベンジしたいと思います。

This is a great option for anyone looking for a convenient way to explore Manoa Falls without the hassle of driving.

The sandbar itself was stunning, and the live Hawaiian music added a perfect island vibe. Equipment was clean and easy to use, and the crew provided helpful tips to make the most of each activity.

The schedule was efficient without ever feeling rushed.

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors or anyone wanting a comprehensive overview of Oahu. It’s a great value and an enjoyable, stress-free way to experience the island. Highly recommended.

Stops were perfectly paced and included highlights like beautiful lookout points, North Shore beaches, and the Dole Pineapple area!

The tour was very organized, with a comfortable vehicle and a knowledgeable guide who shared local fun facts throughout the day. We loved seeing the contrast between Oahu’s scenic East Side coastline to the laid-back North Shore.

Transportation from Waikiki was smooth and stress-free. Then having reserved USS Arizona Memorial tickets was a huge advantage and allowed us to avoid long lines and make the most of our time at Pearl Harbor!

The Polynesian show was super entertaining feeling very luau esque! Also sailing along the Waikiki coastline at sunset was beautiful, and the Friday night fireworks were the perfect finale!

I was able to take a wonderful walk along the beach this morning on a very calm and intelligent horse! The height of the view was also fantastic.

とってもおだやかで賢い馬に乗って
朝からとってもいい気持ちで浜辺を散歩できました！
目線の高さも最高です

It was early in the morning and the outside was completely dark, so I felt quite anxious about interacting with the locals. However, once it was over, it turned out to be a very smooth tour. The driver was really friendly and cheerful, and he provided appropriate advice while mixing in some jokes, which was a great help. When we reached the summit, it started to rain heavily, and we ended up soaking wet on the way down. However, the view from the top was amazing, and that moment when I could see the entire cityscape of Waikiki was truly moving.

朝早い時間で外は真っ暗で、現地の方とのやりとりということでかなり不安はありましたが、終わってみれば非常にスムーズなツアーでした。ドライバーの方は本当に気さくで明るい方で、冗談も交えながら適切なアドバイスもしてくださって大変助かりました。私達が頂上に到達した時に丁度かなりの雨が降ってきてしまい、帰り道はびしょ濡れになりながらの下山でした。ですが、頂上から見た景色は素晴らしく、ワイキキの街並みを一望できたあの瞬間は感動しました。

My spouse and I tried kayaking for the first time in Hawaii on our wedding anniversary! The guide was incredibly kind, handsome, and fluent in Japanese. He taught us how to operate the kayak with great care, and we were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best tour ever! Even as a couple approaching our sixties, thanks to our wonderful guide, we created unforgettable and extremely fun memories. Thank you very much!

夫婦で、結婚記念日に訪れたハワイで、カヤック初挑戦！
ガイドさんが、とっても親切で、ハンサム、おまけに日本語もペラペラ、カヤックの操作も丁寧に教えて下さって、お天気にも恵まれて、最高のツアーでした！
還暦間近の夫婦でも、素晴らしいガイドさんのお陰で、めちゃくちゃくちゃ楽しい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

We had a great time. All the performances at the islands were perfect. The food was good, but next time we will try to get there earlier so that the line isn’t as long. Ha was stunningly beautiful!
